February 25 GLEN CANYON N.R.AGlen Canyon National Recreation Area continues to respond to low water conditions on Lake Powell. This week’s low water update includes: 1. Bullfrog North Ramp Extension Project: The contractor will be mobilizing and staging for the construction project during the week of March 7. This construction contract includes regrading and permanently extending the Bullfrog North Ramp to potentially reach a lake elevation of 3525 feet. (The amount of extension that is possible will be dependent on the lowest water level reached before spring runoff begins, as no construction will occur in water.) This project is anticipated to be completed May 1, 2022. Use of the ramp will be dependent on lake levels.

2. Extending the Legacy Stateline Auxiliary Ramp Continues: Houseboats are currently launching and retrieving on one lane (currently the northern most

Utah is one of the most wildfire-prone states in the U.S., experiencing between 800 and 1,000 ground fires, surface fires and canopy fires each year.

UTAH - Voters in Utah and across the West are increasingly anxious about the effects of climate change on the beauty and ecology of their Rocky Mountains.

The 12th annual Conservation in the West Poll by Colorado College found voters in the eight Western states along the Continental Divide are disturbed by the changes a warming climate is having on the health of the outdoors.

Lori Weigel, principal at New Bridge Strategy which conducted the poll, said the 3,400 people surveyed expressed their views on a variety of environmental issues.

"Water topped the list," Weigel reported. "Drought and reduced snowpack elicited the strongest concern levels, with 86%. Throughout the Mountain West, more frequent and severe wildfires, air

WAYNE COUNTY The second regular monthly meeting of the Wayne County Commission was held on Tuesday, February 22, 2022 (changed from Monday due to President’s Day). Commissioners Blackburn, Brian and Wood were in attendance.

The agenda and minutes from the last meeting were approved.

First up on the agenda was the Entrada Institute, a local arts agency. Marci Milligan, President of Entrada, provided an update for the renewal of a two year contract with Wayne County.

The Entrada Institute provides year round art activities for the people of Wayne County and also to tourists that visit each year. Steve Lutz discussed the six-week AmeriCorps program. This program brings inner city kids to rural America to help on service projects. This will take place in the fall of 2022.

They also discussed a new Teasdale Park exhibit, which will consist of a sculpture that will act like a sun dial. It

quality, extreme heat and even extreme weather events."

In Utah, about seven in 10 voters list air pollution and smog as a "serious or very serious" problem, while about eight in 10 say drought and water shortages are a major concern. And 60% of Utahns say they back President Joe Biden's move to restore protections for the Bears Ears National Monument.

Dave Metz, principal and president at the polling firm Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz and Associates, said those who aspire to public office should heed the poll's findings. Utahns and others say, in large numbers, a candidate's position on the environment will figure heavily in how they might vote.

BLM Seeks Public Input for Paunsaugunt Travel Management Plan

Davina Smith Launches Her Policy Platform and Officially Files Her 2022 Candidacy for the Utah State House of Representatives

KANAB - The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Kanab Field Office, invites the public to comment from Feb. 23 - March 25, 2022, on travel management planning for the Paunsaugunt Travel Management Area. The Paunsaugunt Travel Management Area is comprised of approximately 185,950-acres of BLM managed lands in Kane County, Utah.

“The BLM recognizes the importance of public participation and encourages the public to submit scoping input,” said Kanab Field Office Manager Whit Bunting. “To provide meaningful input, the BLM has made maps available to the public of all inventoried routes being considered for designation within the Travel Management Area. The maps show individual routes and include the BLM route number/identifier, the Kane County Road number, and any common route name known to BLM.” Scoping Period Cont'd on page 3

The Cost of Utah's Schools

(1) Utah Governor Spencer Cox said – “Teachers are earning $ 45,000 / years. No (taxpayers’ money) to private schools (vouchers) until teachers’ (in public schools) salaries become $100,000 / year.”. (2) Salt Lake City / School District –------- needed (per formula of students to teacher) 362 full time educators. ------- had 417 full time educators. ------- 55 full time educators were in excess (needed to go). ------- socialism ------ Some board members (Socialist idiots) want to keep all on payroll, some came up with number 42 to let go, one board member (Katherine Kennedy) ventured (had spine) and said that the district is not going to waste $4.5 million to keep 42 full time educators. --------- does this mean each full time education / teacher costs >$ 100,000 / year ? -------- Study indicates that Enrollment is dropping and will continue to drop (in Salt Lake City District – people are not having kids + outsiders are coming in without kids, etc.). (3) Garfield School Board unanimously approved $15 millions (?) to build a new Elementary School in Escalante --------- OK. (4) Salesmanship – (a) Garfield School District claimed that it hired professionals to assess 3 elementary schools ( to make a decision which one would be first). The assessment was as follows- BVES (Bryce Valley – Tropic) 1.87 / 10, PES (Panguitch) 3.8 / 10, and EES (Escalante) – 5.4 / 10. After Panguitch Elementary ( new building built in 2021), it’s Escalante School’s turn. ------ OK. Mr. Lane Mecham is an accountant ( not an engineer). He testified that the Escalante Elementary School needs new building. (b) Hughes (Construction company) submitted a bid to build a new Escalante school building. How many bids ? ------ OK. (c) Life expectancies – Wood framing / stucco construction – < 50 years. Brick, Cinder block, stone constructions - >100 years.

Taj Mahal (Marble construction) is >350 year old and going strong. ------- OK. (d) “longer you wait, the more expensive it gets” – like what can be built for $ 15 million today (2022) could cost >18 million in 2025, etc. ------ OK. (5) Where is population projection ? Why was this ignored ? Not too long ago the school superintendent published a concern of school closing due to drop in enrollment. Transparency is a spectrum.

One band is full of details. According to facts / data, Escalante Elementary School has very low enrollment. Escalante school is likely to add 11 students by 2042. (6) Confusion – 10 years ago, construction cost rate for brick construction was $125 / square feet. Lets apply current ridiculous rate of $ 300 / square foot. Escalante Elementary School project – 26,000 square feet. $ 300 X 26,000 square feet = $7,800,000.00. How is it $15 millions ? Most schools are built with cinder blocks, The rate of cinder block construction is much lower like $80 to $ 100 / square feet ( used to be $50 / sq. ft). ---------- OK. There are >1,000 builders in north who can provide more light on this. What is the rate of cinder block construction and brick construction ? (7) Land rate in Salt Lake or Chicago can be > $ 10 millions for 3 acres vs. < $ 75,000/ 3 acres in Escalante.

(8) <50 people attended. >50% attendees have bias (conflict of interest - local teacher, etc.). Only 8 people spoke. -------- This is pathetic. (8) Is there any grease in wheels ? (9) Special note: I went to school before I went to college. I have my 5 grand kids. Education is not about building. It’s about the quality of product available to propel. (10) Comparison of Panguitch Elementary School with Escalante Elementary School is like Bill Gate in Seattle vs. Bill Gate under the bridge in Salt Lake City.

(11) My friend (family of 4 – a doctor) in California built an 8 bedroom / 9 bathrooms palace on 10 acre lot (in 1980), now 2 daughters are gone (married) and family size shrunk to 2.

Walnut trees are dying. He complained. I told him to sell it and buy a condo. I told him that he was getting richer and richer but was getting older and older. (12) Marianna Inn ------ 31 units – Wood framing / wood siding -------- >50 year old ------ are people dying in it ? ------- County’s income source of >$6,000 / year in property tax.

Mike Lee for U.S Senate Regarding a recent article

by Mr. Stechschulte arguing on behalf of Evan McMullin’s Senate bid, I would offer voters some things to consider.

Mr. McMullin did run an impressive third-party campaign during the 2016 presidential race. He ran as a conservative alternative to Donald Trump and did well with voters who found Trump objectionable.

He over-performed in the State of Utah, and there was even speculation that he might win the state’s electoral votes and possibly convince other delegates to support his nomination. That never materialized, but one cannot ignore his impressive showing in Utah.

Fast-forward and the once conservative stalwart unabashedly endorses Biden.

Rather than do what he tried to convince voters to do, i.e., support a third-party candidate because the others are repulsive, he throws his support behind Joe, and to my knowledge, has not distanced himself from him. McMullin has a lot of nerve asking Utahns for their votes. The current administration has been a complete disaster, and Americans are paying a heavy price for the incompetence.

While there is plenty to dislike about Donald Trump, I don’t believe that decadeshigh inflation, the Afghanistan debacle, a border crisis, a weaponized Justice Department, abuse of executive power, and sky-rocketing crime rates are a good trade-off for crass tweets. Not to mention the possibility that the U.S could become entangled in a war in Eastern Europe. I hope time proves me wrong on this, but the Biden Administration has been one unmitigated disaster after another.

Aside from his unapologetic support of Biden, Mc-

Mullin hasn’t revealed which political party he plans to caucus with if elected. This is not a trivial matter, considering the razor-thin split and the stark differences in each party’s leadership. His campaign website reads like a never-Trump, neo-conservative that tries desperately to be all things to all people. Strengthening our democracy? Whatever that means. Rejecting extremism?

That sounds nice, but does this cover the entire spectrum of extremism, to include rioters from the Summer 2020, or is it strictly reserved for Capital protestors and the financial donors of Canadian truckers? He touches on inflation, does that mean working with Rand Paul to audit the Federal Reserve?

Will he work with Joe Manchin to ensure that Congress doesn’t pump another $5 Trillion into circulation, further diminishing the value of our currency? Will he work with Kyrsten Sinema to preserve the procedural filibuster so the Senate adequately checks the House of Representatives and stops exorbitant amounts of spending?

He mentions nothing about civil liberties, big-tech censorship, social issues, Second Amendment rights, or the kind of judges he would vote to confirm to the federal judiciary. He is splitting hairs between Lee and Kael Weston.

Mr. McMullin’s campaign is a sham. With a president that is testing the constitutional guard rails of our Republic, we need a voice like Senator Lee’s. The next Congress will need to hold this administration accountable. Lee is a consistent and principled voice for constitutional government and the man we need.

Davina Smith: As the first

Diné woman who will walk up the Courthouse steps to declare she’s running for Utah State Representative, I’ll be thinking about how my actions will inspire those who will one day follow suit.—Davina Smith Davina Smith Cont'd from page 1

10:30 a.m. on February 28th.

Davina addressed the attendees before crossing the street to the clerk’s office with the group. Davina officially declared her candidacy at the San Juan County Courthouse at 11:00 a.m.

While this event made her candidacy official, her campaign and message has reached hundreds of people across rural Utah and beyond since launching late last year. Davina’s policy vision that speaks directly to the people of rural Utah is resonating. We know because she’s outraised her two-term incumbent opponent, Rep. Phil Lyman(R) as of January 2022.

As Davina declared her candidacy on Monday, February 28, Lyman’s HB0371 will have been heard in the Utah House. This bill would ban voting by mail, ballot dropboxes, and voter registration drives—a direct attack on voting rights, particularly for those of us in rural Utah. Not only is Davina opposed to this bill, she’s making protecting voting access a core value of her campaign. She is committed to uplifting the voices of all rural Utahns, not disenfranchising them. Election day is Tuesday, November 8th, 2022.

Make a Difference in an Animal’s Life— Volunteer with CCAW

by Color Country Animal Welfare

Courtesy Color Country Animal Welfare

Color Country Animal Welfare's new animal care facility will be opening soon, and they are looking for volunteers to help with cleaning and maintenance, to provide personal attention to resident cats and dogs, and to provide temporary homes as fosters.

TORREY - Good news, Wayne County! Color Country Animal Welfare (CCAW) has been caring for lost and stray animals since 2009.

There has also been a dream of expanding our services to include pet care in order to support and expand our rescue operations. That dream is now a reality, and Color Country Animal Welfare will be opening soon.

CCAW was born from founder Dottie Weaver’s lifelong passion and love for animals. After retiring from a career as a registered nurse, Dottie raised horses and volunteered with rescue dogs.

She lived in Wayne County from the 1970s until her passing in 2015. Her home was always a refuge for homeless dogs and cats. As others learned of Dottie’s work, they pitched in to help. In 2009, they began CCAW as a 501(c) (3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization.

Color Country is the only organization in Wayne County and the surrounding areas that provides services, education resources, and financial support to promote the humane treatment of animals. CCAW has a working board of volunteer directors, all of whom live in Wayne County and share Dottie’s passion for this place and its inhabitants.

We depend on our fine community to be a part of CCAW’s success. We need you! If you love animals and have some time to spare, we will provide you with training and a rewarding volunteer experience. Our greatest needs are for help with cleaning and maintenance, personal attention to our resident cats and dogs, and of course, fosters.

Cleaning and maintenance of the facility will be an everyday task. We welcome and will train anyone who will help with this most important activity.

Personal attention to our cats and dogs will consist of playtime and exercise, feeding them and cleaning up after them as needed.

Fosters provide a temporary home for dogs and cats while they get some love, training, and observation before being adopted. All supplies and training are provided to fosters.

As we progress, new opportunities will present themselves, and we will be asking for more input from the community.

We are looking forward to having visitors soon! We are located at 1200 Highway 24 just west of Torrey. If you are interested in volunteering, send an email to the following: volunteer@colorcountryanimalwelfare.org For more information, visit our website at colorcountryanimalwelfare. org.

Scoping Period: The BLM recognizes the importance

of public participation and encourages the public to submit scoping input. To provide meaningful input, the BLM has made maps available to the public of all inventoried routes being considered for designation within the Travel Management Area. The maps show individual routes and include the BLM route number/identifier, the Kane County Road number, and any common route name known to BLM.—Whit Bunting, Kanab Field Office Manager

Scoping Period Cont'd from page 1

This 30-day public scoping period is intended to provide the BLM with an inclusive process for gathering input from the public, government agencies, Tribal governments, and other interested stakeholders on the issues and environmental impacts to be addressed during travel management planning for the Paunsaugunt Travel Management Area. The proposed plan will designate existing off-highway vehicle (OHV) motorized routes only. It will neither include construction of new routes nor designate non-motorized routes, such as equestrian, hiking, or mountain biking trails.

“This travel management plan will provide certainty for future access and management of resource infrastructure such as wildlife waters, erosion control structures, and other authorized range improvements,” said Bunting.

“It will also protect resources by clearly identifying motorized routes in the Paunsaugunt Travel Management Area by analyzing existing routes and by applying management techniques that would minimize resource impacts, while encouraging recreation access where appropriate.”

Information about the project is available on the BLM’s ePlanning website via NEPA # DOI-BLM-UT-P0202022-0005-EA. Substantive feedback including new information or issues to be considered regarding specific routes within the Paunsaugunt Travel Management Area will be most helpful as this pro-

cess continues. Input may be mailed, emailed, or submitted through ePlanning: • ePlanning: https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/ project/2017395/510 • Email: blm_ut_kn_mail@ blm.gov • Mail: BLM Paria River District, Attn: Paunsaugunt TMP, 669 S. Hwy 89A, Kanab, UT 84741.

For specific questions, contact Ade’ Nelson, Project Manager at aknelson@blm. gov or (435) 819-0048; or contact the BLM office at (435) 644-1200.

tion—may be made publicly available at any time. Requests to withhold personal identifying information from public review can be submitted, but the BLM cannot guarantee that it will be able to do so.

On February 24, 2022, boiler plates were moved to the north side of the ramp. On March 1, 2022, Aramark's contractor poured concrete on the middle section and south side of the ramp. During construction, at least one lane remained open with boiler plate ramp exten-

PA Student’s Rural Rotation Ignites Passion for Rural Care PRICE - As a member of the Southern Utah Area Health Education Center (SUAHEC) at Southern Utah University, Physician Assistant Student Emily Pierson had the opportunity to experience the power of a rural community firsthand. Southern Utah AHEC’s rural rotation program gives students the opportunity to participate in rotations to rural communities throughout the state of Utah. These rotations allow health profession students to look at the local health care environment and develop a greater understanding of how important quality healthcare is to our rural and frontier communities.

Through a partnership with the Utah Medical Education Council (UMEC), SUAHEC is helping to ignite a passion for rural medicine in the minds and hearts of the students who participate in the program. Physician Assistant Student Emily Pierson, a 2nd-year physician assistant student shares her

experiences participating in a recent rural rotation at the Pediatric Clinic in Price, Ut: "For the past four weeks, I had the opportunity to work with and learn from Dr. Madsen and his amazing staff at the Pediatric Clinic in Price, UT. Thanks to the Utah AHEC and UMEC, I had housing right in town near the practice and got to experience rural practice firsthand.”

Pierson further shares her experiences participating in the rural rotations program: “Price and the surrounding towns are beautiful communities surrounded by incredible landscapes. I had the chance to work with many families on anticipatory guidance and preventive care, address acute concerns, and perform newborn exams and evaluations in the hospital nursery. I learned and accomplished more than I thought I could in just one month and am extremely grateful for this valuable and unique experience that will be a key part of my clinical training."

The Utah Center for

Rural Health/Southern Utah AHEC has been coordinating rotations like this for 26 years.

Since the program’s development in July 1996, the amount of students beginning in the pipeline towards a health occupation has greatly increased.

“In the early days, we had an occasional student from one of our communities come back to conduct a rotation, now, the majority of our rotations are from students who participated in one of our programs at some point in their early years,” according to Rita Osborn, Executive Director of SUAHEC, located at Southern Utah University. “We cover nineteen counties and I am amazed at how many students are returning to seek practice in these rural communities.”

By recruiting a student to do a rotation in a community, the hospital, local physicians, public health, and community members can “showcase” their community and encourage the potential physician to contemplate beginning a practice in that locale, which increases the availability of quality healthcare in rural communities.

The mission of the Utah Center for Rural Health is to promote and enhance the quality of rural health through leadership, advocacy, coalition building, education, and to affect policy and legislation.

She began her college career at Snow College, where she started working toward an associate degree. It was there that she met her husband, Brent, and priorities began to shift for the time being. After 10 years, Wilcox decided to return to school, finishing her associate degree at Snow College in 2019. She then began her bachelor’s degree at USU in 2020.

“Sarah is determined to succeed,” Dupin-Bryant said.

“She will graduate from USU with high honors, a top-rate education, and a marketable skill set—having taken all of her coursework as a statewide campus student.”

The Legacy of Utah State Award is given each year to recognize and emphasize a student who represents the heart and soul of the university. Students should show a commitment to the institution and their program of study, as well as demonstrate internal involvement and service, de-

partment dedication, perseverance during times of adversity, and contribution behind the scenes.

“Sarah Wilcox typifies what many southwest students balance as they complete rigorous USU degrees—working, raising children and serving as an active member of their local communities,” said Nancy Glomb, associate vice president for the Southwest Region. “What is exceptional about Sarah is that she has done all of that and achieved a level of excellence worthy of the Huntsman School of Business' nomination for the Legacy of Utah State Award.

We are fortunate to have Sarah working for USU Southwest this semester as a DAIS intern. She is analyzing data within the Office of Analysis, Assessment and Accreditation that will help us make better data-informed decisions about student recruitment, retention and completion efforts.”

The final criteria for a student to be eligible for the Legacy of Utah State award is they must be a USU student. In her nomination letter, Dupin-Bryant makes special note of how, although Wilcox attends USU via a statewide campus, she is as much an Aggie as anyone.

“At USU, we have long championed the important goal to help students pursue their dreams and achieve a higher education degree regardless of their geographical location,” Dupin-Bryant wrote in the nomination letter.

“A student should be able to receive the same high-quality education regardless of the delivery method and where they live—Manti in Sarah’s case.

Regardless of her geographic location, Sarah is an Aggie through and through—she is the epitome of a Utah State University student.”

Wilcox will be one of eight nominees for the award, one from each of USU’s colleges. The award will be presented at the annual Robins Awards on April 8, 2022.

With locations in Beaver, Bicknell, Cedar City, Delta, Ephraim, Junction, Kanab, Nephi, Panguitch, Richfield, and St. George, Utah State University provides higher education access to rural communities via USU Southwest.

Wills, Trusts, and More

House, IRA, Commercial Property— Not Your Greatest Assets

by Jeffery J. McKenna All of us have different assets that comprise our estate. Some have a lot of real estate while others have large retirement accounts. What is your greatest asset? If you have minor children or grandchildren, they are your greatest asset, and you should plan for them in order to protect and care for them.

There are two primary concerns regarding minor children and estate planning.

First, who is going to take care of the children? The person who cares for the personal needs of the children is called the guardian. Second, who will take care of the financial needs of the children? This may or may not be the same person (or institution) as the guardian of the children. The person responsible for the children’s financial matters may be a court appointed conservator, or if estate planning was done prior to death, it could be a trustee of a trust established for the children’s benefit.

Significantly, children under age eighteen cannot legally “own” property in their individual capacity. Therefore, in order to have life insurance proceeds or any other assets of an estate distributed to a child under age 18, a conservator must be appointed by the court. The legal proceedings required to get a conservator appointed can be at best an additional expense and inconvenience. At its worst,

a conservatorship proceeding can be a legal fight between family members about who is to manage the assets of the children. Although these scenarios may be unappealing, the worst part about failing to plan for minor children may be what happens when they ultimately receive their inheritance.

A conservatorship ends when the child reaches age 18 unless special circumstance exist and the court allows the conservatorship to continue until age 21. The result is that at age 18 (or at most 21), the child now has complete control over the assets. While parents or grandparents may envision their life insurance or other assets of the estate being used for their children’s or grandchildren’s education, church service, or other purposes, children at age 18 or 21 may have other plans.

Given the concerns related to expense, court proceedings and ultimate, uncontrolled distributions at age 18 (or 21 in special circumstances), parents and grandparents should consider the use of a trust when minor children are beneficiaries. A trust has many advantages. First, assets can be distributed to the trustee of the trust for the benefit of the minor child. This can often occur without the need to burden the courts. The trustee would then manage the assets as specified in the trust document. Parents can specify that proceeds within the trust are always available

Additionally, parents can specify that the proceeds will not be distributed outright to the children until the children reach a particular age or will be distributed in incremental stages at various ages. In short, through the use of a trust, the parents have the opportunity to provide as much instruction as they want with respect to the inheritance they leave for their children or grandchildren.

In conclusion, estate planning is very important when minor children or grandchildren are involved. If you stop and think about it, you may find it ironic that many of us provide more instruction to the babysitter about how to care for our loved ones for a few hours than we provide for those we leave behind at death.

t H e Lifetime Guarantee

I bought a set of Ginzu knives for only three easy payments of $29.95, and they came with a lifetime guarantee.

When the handles fell off, I returned the knives with my lifetime guarantee asking for a refund.

They wrote back saying, "The guarantee was for the lifetime of the knives. Obviously, the knives are dead, so the guarantee is no longer valid."

FYI PanguItch

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Finally, we got some snow. We received about 6” by my calculations, which is a lot better than most of the storms we have had in the last four or five years. Usually, it is about 3”. It was easy shoveling; I don’t think you will ever need a snow blower. The real good news is that they had 30” up at Brian Head and 14” out at the Canyon. The bad news is that it is going to warm up, which we can use. Negative 1 degree is a little bit chilly. Fortunately, we haven’t had any wind for a change.

Pat and I had a nice surprise; our granddaughter Jodi from Cedar City said she was going to have dinner for us at Milt's. We made it there in time, and we were met by our granddaughter Kristina, who was here from SLC, and Stephen, Kelly and Shawn. When we went into the back room, there was Teah and her fiancé Alex. Almost our whole family was there to help celebrate our anniversary; what a fun surprise to see them all at one time.

Many people chose to get married on an unforgettable day, 2-22-22, and over six million marriage licenses were issued.

March is now here, and it has a lot to offer, starting with the State Basketball tournament, which started on Wednesday the 2nd. The boys go into the tournament ranked #1, and the girls are #4th.

Both teams have made great strides this year, and, hopefully, all will go well with them.

The Ides of March are on the 15th. Julius Caesar had become the most powerful man in the Roman Republic in the eyes of his enemies; he was all but king. The first blow fell at noon on March 15, 44 BC. Publius Servilius Casca stabbed him on the left shoulder. Caesar caught Casca’s arm and ran him through with his knife. Cassius wounded Caesar in the face, Brutus smote him in the thigh and Bucolianus got him between the shoulder blades and Nicholas drove his sword into Caesar’s side. In 46 B.C., Julius Caesar was honored for his military victories, and the senate made Caesar dictator for 10 years. On March 15, 44 B.C., fearful of Caesar’s influence and ambition, Brutus and Cassius carried out the plot to assassinate Caesar.

St. Patrick’s Day is on the 17th, and the bars serve green beer, or so I have been told.

Since we don’t get any newspapers and don’t have a clue what is happening at the legislature: The citizens voted to do away with gerrymandering, but they changed the boundaries to divide up SLC four ways, so don’t expect any changes in who gets elected.

However, since I don’t get news on a state level, I am sorry I didn’t receive this till it was too late. They have moved the election sign up from May back to February 22nd though March 2nd so that no one would have

a chance to run for office.

Openings for Garfield County include one for the Clerk’s office (4 years), a 1 and 2 District Commissioner and the County Sheriff position is also open (4 years). Hopefully, someone knew about this and signed up so that we can have an election.

President Biden has nominated a woman for the Supreme Court vacancy. Finally, we have someone that is qualified. She graduated from Harvard Law School and has served as a judge a number of times, including in the District of Columbia.

Seventy-five percent of the country has had their mask mandates removed. Two months ago, we had 840,000 cases of the COVID a day, and now, it is down to 75,000 cases. There are a few cases where there are hot spots that need to be taken care of. Garfield is down from 64 cases a month ago, to 12. Hopefully, it is because more people have gotten their shots.

Canada has been bombarded with a few truckers blocking main thoroughfares leading into the U.S. They are protesting having to wear masks, and this is costing our country $350 million dollars a day in goods. All of their trucks have been towed away, and the roads are open once again. Ninety percent of all Canadian truckers have been vaccinated.

Not to be out done, two of our senators, Ron Paul and Ted Cruz, have called on the

truckers in our country to do the same thing and to go and block the roads leading into the National Capitol. If there are really that many truckers dumb enough to do that, they will be met with tow trucks and could lose their driver's licenses.

Well, Russia’s head, Putin, has found a way to get COVID out of the news; he is invading Ukraine. His troops have had that country surrounded for months.

We do not do much trading with Russia, so our president has frozen most of their assets, including those of Putin. Biden has sent over 300 million dollars to Ukraine in fighting gear. The whole world is siding against Russia, and for the first time, NATO has called up their 45,000 troops to keep Russia from expanding into other countries. Even the Russian’s are protesting by the thousands, and 3,500 have been arrested. Many thousands of women and children are fleeing to Poland, and they are being welcomed with open arms. Putin has bit off more than he can chew, with many men in the country volunteering to fight to the death to protect their country.

Most of the world is standing with Ukraine, however, Fox’s newscasters have said that we should be siding with Russia.

Isn't it nice that we live in such a wonderful area where it is so peaceful?

Anglers Need to Report, Release Tagged Northern Pike Caught in Utah Lake—and Kill the Rest

Courtesy Utah Division of Wildlife Resources

As part of an ongoing study launched two years ago, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources is still asking anglers to report and release any tagged northern pike they catch in Utah Lake and to kill any northern pike that they catch that don't have a tag.

PROVO - As part of an ongoing study launched two years ago, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources is still asking anglers to report and release any tagged northern pike they catch in Utah Lake.

And, because the invasive fish were placed in Utah Lake illegally, anglers must kill any northern pike they catch that don’t have a tag.

DWR biologists started tagging some of the northern pike in Utah Lake and its tributaries in February 2020 as part of a study to learn more about the seasonal locations and movements of juvenile and adult pike in Utah Lake, the Provo River, Hobble Creek and the Spanish Fork River.

The study is expected to run for at least five years (until 2025).

Since northern pike typically spawn when the ice begins to melt, anglers may catch more of the invasive fish at Utah Lake this time of year.

The tagged northern pike have thin, red pieces of plastic attached to them. Tagged fish have been implanted with

transmitters so biologists can track them using GPS technology. Surgical scars should be visible on their underside in the unlikely event that the external tag is dislodged.

"We are asking anglers to release pike that have these tags because the transmitters that are in the fish enable us to track their movements,” DWR Central Region Native Aquatics Biologist Keith Lawrence said. “Tracking their movements will help us develop a monitoring and control program for northern pike in the future, which will help threatened June suckers.”

If you catch a tagged northern pike in Utah Lake or one of its tributaries, you should do the following: • Call DWR native fish biologist Dale Fonken at 503730-9424 • Report the date and exact location where you caught the fish • Report the tag number • Release the fish unharmed As in the past, if you catch a pike that doesn’t have a tag, you must remove the fish from

the water and kill it.

“In that case, we always like to hear precisely where and when these fish were caught. The size of the fish is always good information as well,” Lawrence said. “If a tagged pike inadvertently dies, we would still like to recover the fish in case the transmitter

can be reused, so we ask folks to let us know if that happens.

We’d love to have the fish or tag brought to our office in Springville, but we will gladly make arrangements to pick it up from the angler.”

Northern pike were first detected by the DWR in Utah Lake in 2011. Because pike are predatory and reproduce rapidly, biologists are worried about the effect they will have on some of the other fish species in the lake. June suckers are of particular concern due to their precarious status, but pike have the potential to impact sportfish in the lake such as walleye, white bass and yellow perch.

June suckers, which are found only in Utah Lake, were downlisted from endangered to threatened in December 2020, a huge accomplishment and major milestone in their recovery.

Their continued recovery and eventual delisting from the Endangered Species Act could be jeopardized if the number of pike in the lake expands to unrestricted levels.

Grand Reopening of Capitol Reef National Park Visitor Center

CAPITOL REEF N.P. The Capitol Reef National Park Visitor Center reopened on Wednesday, March 2 at 9 a.m., after a brief closure to install new exhibits. A ribbon cutting ceremony took place before welcoming visitors to view the newly installed exhibits.

The exhibits interpret the park’s human history, diverse plant and animal life, and the iconic geology of the Waterpocket Fold. Through photographs and text, interactive features, and videos, visitors come away with a greater

understanding of the significance of Capitol Reef National Park. Starting March 4, the visitor center will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

This project is an example of your dollars at work.

The building renovations in 2021 and the newly installed exhibits utilized recreation fee dollars to improve and update the visitor center.

Wayne Commission: An update for the renewal

March 7 - March 13

by John Mosley The Sky Report is presented as a public service by the Stellar Vista Observatory, a nonprofit organization based in Kanab, Utah, which provides opportunities for people to observe, appreciate, and comprehend our starry night sky. Additional information is at www.stellarvistaobservatory.org. Send questions and comments to John@StargazingAdventures.org.

This week, the moon crosses the winter Milky Way, unfortunately, blotting it from view by its bright light, but in its journey, it passes near some bright stars and several star clusters. On the 8th, it’s precisely midway between the two most famous, and most easily visible, clusters: the Pleiades or Seven Sisters is to the right of the moon and the Hyades to the left of the moon. Each cluster is interesting to the unaided eye, binoculars, and a telescope of any size. The Hyades looks larger mostly because its closer, but in reality, the Pleiades is ¼ the diameter of the Hyades.

The orange star Aldebaran is in the middle of the Hyades, but it’s not part of the cluster. It is only half as far away and happens to lie in the foreground in a chance alignment. If Aldebaran were within the Hyades, it would look twice as bright as the cluster’s brightest stars.

On the 10th, the moon is not far—4½° or 9 moondiameters—from another yet more distant star cluster that is barely visible to the

unaided eye on the darkest of nights (which tonight is not, courtesy the moon) but which looks nice in binoculars. It’s to the left of the moon at the 10 o’clock position. This cluster goes by the romantic name of M35, its catalog number, and it is a patch of stars roughly the size of the moon in appearance and composed of hundreds of stars 3,000 light years from earth, far beyond the Hyades and Pleiades. You can see M35 and the moon together in most binoculars, at opposite edges of the view.

M35 is in the feet of Gemini. On the 12th, the moon has moved to Gemini’s head where it’s almost in line with Castor, high above, and Pollux, only 3° above the moon.

Like all stars, these are interesting, and Uncle Google can tell you all about them. Castor, by the way, is virtually overhead three hours after sunset.

Venus remains the brilliant “Morning Star,” and it’s in the southeast before sunrise.

Venus remains the "Morning Star" until mid-summer, so you have six months to enjoy it.

Of current interest is that

this month Mars is almost behind Venus and is nearly in line with it, so you can use Venus to find the Red Planet.

This week, Mars is 4° to the lower right of Venus in the 4 o’clock position. Put Venus in the upper-left edge of your binoculars and Mars will be at the lower right edge. Mars is only 1/200th as bright, but that’s still as bright as the brighter stars, so you’ll have no trouble spotting it. Notice the color contrast: Venus is brilliant white while Mars is distinctly orange.

Saturn is slightly brighter than Mars, and it’s about 15° to the lower left of Venus.

These two planets will be much closer at the end of the month; more on them then.

Bureau of Land Management Issues Decision on Sinbad Wild Burro Gather in Emery County

Courtesy Bureau of Land Management

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Price Field Office announced that it will conduct a wild burro gather in the Sinbad Herd Management Area this year. Burros removed will be prepared for the BLM Adoption and Sale program, and other burros will be returned to the Herd Management Area after receiving fertility control treatment.

PRICE - The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Price Field Office announced that it will conduct a wild burro gather in the Sinbad Herd Management Area this year.

This area is located in Emery County, about 30 miles west of Green River, Utah, and consists of approximately 99,241 acres of federal and state lands. The BLM proposes to gather and remove excess wild burros, and to implement fertility control to the remaining herd.

The gather is being conducted to manage wild burros and to achieve and maintain the established Appropriate Management Level.

“Our goal is to find bal-

ance and stability of the wild herds,” said Kyle Beagley, acting BLM Price field manager. “We are working to preserve and protect wild horses and burros as integral parts of a thriving ecological system.”

The gather impacts are described and analyzed in the Sinbad Wild Burro Herd Management Area Gather Plan, Environmental Assessment.

The Assessment and Decision Record are posted on the BLM’s ePlanning website at: https://go.usa.gov/xFxCy. Burros removed from the range will be prepared for the BLM Adoption and Sale program. Other burros will be returned to the Herd Management Area, after receiving

treatment. For more information on how to adopt or purchase a wild horse or burro, visit the BLM National Wild Horse and Burro website at www.blm.gov/whb or call (866) 468-7826.

Climate Poll: Water topped the list. Drought and reduced

snowpack elicited the strongest concern levels, with 86%.

Throughout the Mountain West, more frequent and severe wildfires, air quality, extreme heat and even extreme weather events.

"Almost nine out of 10 voters regionwide say that it'll be one of the issues that they consider," Metz pointed out.

"More than two in five tell us it will be very important, a primary factor. " Pollsters made an extra effort this year to include

Native Americans and people of color, over-sampling several groups to gauge their concerns.

Shanna Edberg, director of conservation programs for the Hispanic Access Foundation, said marginalized communities are often the most affected by climate.

"Latinos have this clear vision of the way forward in

protecting the environment, because it is Latino health, homes and jobs that are largely at stake," Edberg noted.

"When Latino children are twice as likely as white children to die of asthma, reducing air pollution is a matter of life and death for our communities."

of Wayne County's two-year contract with the Entrada Institute, the six-week AmeriCorps program, a new Teasdale Park exhibit, new subdivisions and glamping sites, Six County AOG "annual planning" and capital improvements, upgrades to Wayne County school buildings, the Hanksville Diversion structure, and an upgrade to a Class 1 Landfill in Hanksville discussed.

will show the pathway which the sun takes during the summer and winter solstice. It will also include educational panels explaining the meaning of each solstice. They also have mural projects in the works for the cities of Hanksville, Torrey, and, hopefully, Loa. There was also a discussion regarding the writing of a letter of support in regards to the last grazing rights in the south end of Capitol Reef National Park, which reflects the heritage of Wayne County. Ms. Milligan said she would take it to the board for further discussion.

The renewal was approved by the Commissioners.

Next up were planning items. Colleen Allen presented for Mike and Megan Trapletti for a very minor subdivision in Teasdale 1 lot. Colleen also presented for Randy Blackburn who wanted to amend the Mountain View Estates, a 4 lot subdivision, and also for the 18 glamping sites in Muley Twist (Teasdale), of which Nicholas Kanaan has met all planning and zoning requirements. There will be six Teepee sites, six yurt sites and six cabins. Kirk Jackson, who was in attendance, proposed a new 18 home subdivision in Bicknell, which will be known as the Daylight Estates. All new subdivisions and the glamping sites were approved by all commissioners.

Representatives from Six County Association of Governments were present for an “annual planning” discussion. Travis Kyhl, Tyler Timmons and Shay Morrison

represented Six Counties. The discussion was about capital improvements within Wayne County. A community administrator position was discussed and tabled for later discussion.

The Wayne County School Board was also in attendance. Randy Shelley, Superintendent and also a former music teacher at Wayne High, quoted a 2015 study that found the original school buildings are not up to code regarding heating and electrical. Loa Elementary was built in 1953, the middle school is in need of plumbing upgrades. His proposal is to combine the Middle School and High School into one facility and to relocate the elementary school to Bicknell.

State Senator Derrin Owens is trying to help with funding at the state level. There are over $250 million education dollars available, but the state wants to disperse these funds to all school districts across the states. A school tax increase was discussed, but this wouldn’t help much to the funds needed to update the schools. Utah’s Lieutenant Governor will be here on April 1st to tour the schools and see what might be done. The children of Wayne County deserve safe and modern facilities to study and get an education.

Dave Christensen was in attendance to renew his ten year lease on the airport hangar, which was built in 2002.

The commissioners approved the lease.

Kelly Taylor, a resident of Hanksville, was present via telephone to discuss the Hanksville Diversion and what steps were being taken to ensure the residents of Hanksville will

receive their water shares this year. Commissioner Wood said that a pumping station is being installed along the Fremont River down by the old jail. On the NRCS (Natural Resources Conservation Service) website, it states: In accordance with the rehabilitation provisions of the NRCS’s Emergency Watershed Protection program, the site is eligible for funding due to past flood damages and problematic design elements at the existing diversion location. The purpose of the project is to sustain irrigation water delivery for agriculture in the Hanksville area...The NRCS has funded the project through the EWP program to remove the existing, damaged Hanksville diversion structure and to fully consider relocating the diversion back to the original diversion location.

Other items of business which were approved: • A one year contract with Six Counties AOG economic development department • A $22,000 Airport Grant Agreement • New election equipment • An upgrade to a Class 1 landfill in Hanksville. This would not expand on the footprint of the existing landfill. One of three garbage trucks would reside in the town of Hanksville, which would save time and money for the residents of Wayne County.

The Wayne County Commission meets the first and third Monday of every month at the Wayne County Courthouse in Loa.

Wayne School District Announcement of Position 2022-23 School Year Music Teacher Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune

Odie Trujillo, a Northern Ute Indian Tribe traditional youth dancer, performs in the Utah Capitol rotunda as part of the Utah School Boards Association activities, Feb. 22, 2022.

SALT LAKE CITY Fears about making voting harder, plans to settle water rights and two bands of the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah going into the medical cannabis business were all on the minds of seven of Utah’s eight sovereign tribes when they addressed Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson, state lawmakers and the cabinet of the Utah Division of Indian Affairs on Wednesday, February 23, 2022.

“The Indigenous communities of Utah are a special place here. I’m very grateful to work for a governor and lieutenant governor that recognize that strong, healthy native communities make strong healthy states,” said Dustin Jansen, executive director for the Utah Division of Indian Affairs.

American Indian Caucus Day is organized by the Utah Division of Indian Affairs to hear updates from Utah’s tribes during the Legislature. The day is usually observed with cultural events at the Utah State Capitol but, because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the caucus was held virtually this year.

In her opening remarks to the tribes, Henderson said she supports the sovereignty of each of the tribes.

“We really want to be good partners in all areas where we can and where we should, for the greater good of Utahns,” Henderson said.

Making it harder to vote One major topic was voting rights. Both Henderson and the tribes agreed on the need to protect voting for Native Americans in the state. Henderson told leaders that she would speak against HB371, sponsored by Rep. Phil Lyman.

HB371 was defeated in committee on Wednesday night and would have rolled back the state’s mail-in voting system, making it much harder for rural Native Americans to vote. Native Americans hold a narrow majority in San Juan County, which is in Lyman’s district.

Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez and his executive staffer, Davis Filred, who also works with the Navajo Utah Commission and nonprofit Utah Diné Bikéyah, said that HB371 would undermine the voices of Navajo (Diné) people in the county.

Resolving water rights Nez said that he appreciates the state and congressional support of the Navajo Utah Water Rights Settlement Act, which he says will provide important infrastructure for thousands of Diné people who continue to need basic

utility and water services.

Separately on February 23, 2022, Sen. Mitt Romney tweeted that he was able to secure funding for the settlement through the Infrastructure Investment and Job Act, which he says will provide water to about 40% of the Navajo people in San Juan County.

Tamra Bordchadt-Slayton, band chairperson for the Indian Peaks Band of Paiute Indians, told the caucus that her band would adjudicate its water claims in southern Utah.

Rupert Steele, chairman for the Confederated Tribes of the Goshute, also thanked the state for helping the tribe create a federal water team with Utah and Nevada to settle the tribe’s water rights.

“We’ve been in this drought for a while and it’s affected the grazing areas for elk and cattle population on the

rez,” Steele said, citing the impacts of climate change on his people and their lands.

Medical cannabis and tribal regalia The Kanosh Band as well as the Shivwits Band of Paiute Indians told the panel they received approval from the Department of Agriculture to start their hemp production for medical cannabis.

Corrina Bow, chairwoman for the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah, said that she is waiting for Gov. Spencer Cox to sign HB30, which would allow Indigenous students to wear their cultural regalia during high school graduations.

Nez said the Navajo Nation will continue its strict public health orders with its mask mandates into the foreseeable future, even while nearby states like Utah relax theirs.

The Northwest Band of the Shoshone Nation also notified Utah leaders of its intention to sue the state of Idaho for not honoring its treaty to hunt and fish in that state and will need the support of Utah to help the tribe reinforce its sovereignty in its ancestral lands.

Tribal leaders also called on the governor for the passage of SB28, which would restructure the government to better protect Indigenous children in the state’s welfare system.
