Escalante City Holds Name Clearing Hearing for ex-Police Chief Worlton ESCALANTE – Escalante’s city council held a Monday, 3pm special meeting on April 1 to clear the name of former Escalante Police Chief Kevin Worlton.

Despite the afternoon time slot, the council chamber was virtually filled with residents who came to observe the proceedings. Townspeople filed out of the room for an hour while the council went into executive session to discuss the matter, and filed back in around 4pm for the public hearing.

Four years ago, in March of 2015, Escalante Police Chief Kevin Worlton’s employment was terminated by the city, due to allegations that he had made false or inconsistent material statements during the course of arrests made in December of 2014.

Tyler Ward and Mickey Wright of Torrey talk with community dinner participants about the new community telescopes.

WAYNE COUNTY Two new telescopes were purchased as part of the Sparking Humanities Conversations project in Wayne County. The National Endowment for the Humanities grant project is co-sponsored by the Entrada Institute along with USU Extension/4H and other local

partners.

Entrada Institute board member Tyler Ward coordinates the annual Heritage Starfest activities. He has been working with Jana Alexander at the Tri-County Headquarters Library in Bicknell to make these two telescopes available for check-out. Al-

though still in the planning stages, it’s hoped that the telescopes will be available to individuals, families and community groups with a library card.

The telescopes were introduced during the free community dinner exploring on our Heritage of Storytelling, Campfires, and the Night Sky. In addition to sharing the telescopes, participants enjoyed storytelling activities. They also made rattles, dreamcatchers, and star wheels along with exploring the constellations in the Skydome portable planetarium.

Each participant received a red balloon covered flashlight. When stargazing, a red light doesn’t interfere with your ability to see in the dark like a traditional flashlight.

Red cellophane also works well to help protect night vision.

Aerial footage of Escalante's Main Street at 100 East shows current Main Street lane striping, and some orange marks indicated how a three lane striping pattern might work.

ESCALANTE - Wondering what the orange spray paint marks are on Main Street and 100 East in Escalante?

UDOT representatives, including Region Four Director Rick Torgerson, came out to Escalante on March 28 to discuss the option of changing Main Street to three lanes instead of the existing four lanes through town. For many years, the issue of “traffic

calming” has been discussed among Escalante residents. A primary concern has been that the four-lane system through town encourages speeding and creates safety hazards due to people driving too fast.

The orange marks were made to mark an example of how three lane striping might be configured.

The UDOT officials met with Escalante City Council Members Dan’l Lindsay and

Boulder Town Council April 4

by Tessa Barkan

BOULDER - The April Boulder Town Council meeting began with a discussion of the Scotty Mitchell Encroachment Agreement. The Agreement would allow Mitchell to run a water line along her fence, inside the Town’s Right of Way, as running the line through the property would cause extensive damage to existing structures. Two maps were provided to demonstrate where the line would run. No plans currently exist to improve this platted road, and even if construction were to happen, the line will be deep enough that it should not cause any issues. The Town has yet to hear back from their attorney about this matter. A motion was passed to accept

the Encroachment Agreement, subject to approval by the attorney.

Following this, the Council continued the discussion about the Brems Encroachment Agreement, which has been in progress since November. The Brems family began by summarizing the reasons for desiring the Encroachment Agreement.

The family owns two lots, one on the east and one on the west of the unimproved road.

This road is seen as a hazard for elderly family members who have to cross on a daily basis. The family has asked to add in two sidewalks as well as a parking pad, which Boulder Council Cont'd on page 3

for a reasonable cost of his attorney’s fees related to the matter.

“They [Worlton’s attorneys] have written us a letter indicating they would settle the attorney’s fees for claims against the city for the amount of $66,911.73, and indicated that this is a compromise amount of the fees to which they believe that they are entitled,” said Church.

The City Council passed a motion to pay the fees that have been requested.

Worlton was not present during the name clearing hearing, and did not have a representative present. Instead, he submitted a two-page letter for the public record, which attorney David Church read in its entirety. Worlton, in his letter, stated that, “As council members acknowledged at the time, there were no such generalized [performance] issues, complaints and concerns, rather, termination was based solely on the fact that I had been charged with two felonies by the Utah Attorney General’s office.”

He continued, “A judge determined that at least one of the charges was brought without even the low bar of probable cause. What was left of the case was withdrawn by motion of the prosecution, which is, at the very least, an implicit recognition that the AG’s Office could not prove its case.

I submit that the case brought against me was reckless and wrongful.”

In a later statement, the letter says, “The public should know that my reputation and the reputation of the Escalante Police Department, were unnecessarily and wrongfully damaged and that all the underlying allegations of misconduct have evaporated like the mirage they were.”

Worlton was advised of his termination in a letter from Escalante City, which stated that during a March 19, 2015 meeting the Escalante City Council had terminated his employment, “Based on various performance issues, complaints and concerns, which ultimately led to an investigation into your conduct by the Utah Attorney General’s Office.”

All charges against Worlton have since been dismissed. A first set of charges was dismissed during a preliminary hearing in District Court. All additional charges were voluntarily dismissed by the Attorney General’s office on September 11, 2018.

During the April 1 hearing, Escalante’s city council passed a motion stating that, “The city would acknowledge that Kevin was constitutionally innocent and that the charges were dismissed and that he remains innocent of criminal wrongdoing. The city would acknowledge that Kevin’s name is clear as of this point in time.”

David Church, the attorney representing Escalante City in this matter, explained that a “name clearing” hearing can occur under the city’s personnel policies. An employee is entitled to a due process hearing if his reputation as an employee is harmed by actions arising out of or in connection with the termination of his employment.

Church further explained that while the city did not file the investigation nor file any of the charges against Mr. Worlton—these were initiated by the Utah Attorney General’s office—that Mr. Worlton is entitled to recover legal costs from the city as his employer at that time, and that he is entitled to be reimbursed

ing to empty my room. The thought that any of us were sent here by unseen Obama operatives to live and after 20 or so years take over the local Government is comical (Obama operatives being my attempt at drama). Let me say that there are a thousand good things that the outsiders can bring, but there are ten thousand bad things that they can bring, wisdom is figuring out which one of ten to try, but if we bury our heads how will we know?

Unfortunately we live in a time where evidence is ignored. Why would the unknowing want the truth? Politicians just make statements without any evidence (most of the time they just make it up) and do their best to get 51%of the voters or in this case 51%

of the legislature to buy into their BS. Lyman and Pollock count on that. Truth be Damned.

We live in a great country with a constitution second to none. Just for fun go and read it, as it's pretty damned good.

We are a Republic that allows Lyman and Pollock as representatives to try and sell their ideas to the legislators, but you would hope and pray that they would listen to everyone in the room and not just the people that are always telling them how smart and powerful they are. We do need varying ideas from all sides to wisely make the right decisions facing Utah. We should welcome any and all ideas and let the good outweigh the bad.

Escalante Main Street

street.

Escalante Main Street Committee members have been informally asking residents for their input on whether the change is needed or wanted.

A related common complaint has been not having a crosswalk at the high school.

This was discussed with UDOT and they gave some suggestions to consider to ensure safety for the students and visitors during sporting events in the evening.

Another issue that came up is the need for a turn lane into the Kazan Clinic and the Escalante Home Center hardware store. Concern has been with speed as traffic is held up trying to make a left turn lane from Main Street.

UDOT’s Rick Torgerson stressed that the town can make a change without making it permanent. He said that one advantage to making a change soon, if Escalante wants to try a lane marking change at this time, is that there are plans for UDOT to complete a major resurfacing project in 2022-23. So if a change is made, and the town does not like the result, a decision can be made at that time to go back to the four lanes.

Also, UDOT would pay for the changes. “We propose that we would pay for it,” said Torgerson. We’re waiting to hear back from the mayor and city council—we gave them a few different layouts with a three lane scheme to consider—and give us a recommendation to make sure they’re comfortable going in that direction.”

While safety is the first goal, Escalante Main Street Committee members also have noted that three lanes and traffic calming could enhance a sense of a small town feeling, while encouraging social interaction, as people may feel more inclined to walk and bike Main Street rather than drive. Traffic slowing may help with economic development as more visitors may stop and shop, which could increase business, employment and the city tax base.

Ultimately this decision will up to residents. To voice your opinion, talk to your City Council Members or Main Street Committee members who are also inviting input (Chad Lyman, Lisa Hartman, Kevin Griffin, Denise Olson, Dave Treanor, Dana Waggoner) or email escalantemainstreet@gmail.com —Insider

Main Streets,” said UDOT's Rick Torgerson. “That’s how it happens to be. We try— when we have Main Street situation—to meet each town’s needs and what they want to see on their Main Street.”

“In the case of Escalante it’s been four lanes for many years,” said Torgerson. In response to concerns about whether changing the lane configuration to one lane in each direction with a center turning lane would lead to traffic congestion, he said, “We have a lot of data. A two lane road will usually handle anywhere from 8,500 to 10,000 cars a day before you see congestion. And Escalante averages 2,000 a day.” He said that seasonal traffic will be higher than that, and that this figure represents annual daily traffic throughout the year.

“But Escalante currently does not see the upper end of those average daily figures.”

As a comparative example, Torgerson said that the town of Salina has chosen both systems, with three lanes going in one direction, and four lanes going in the other direction. “And we move the same amount of traffic on both. And Salina has a ton of coal traffic, and a lot more semis—way more.”

UDOT officials explained that some towns grappling with similar issues experiment with design changes every few years. Some have tried a new lane marking system and decided to go back to a previous pattern. Officials stated that Escalante does not need four lanes, and that they are very aware of the speeding issue through the town. The noted that a primary reason for speeding is travelers into town from the West do not have many passing opportunities, which gives the impression as they come into town and see four lanes that they can speed up and pass other vehicles.

This has caused a high number of speeding issues in town, with safety being a concern of many residents as traffic increases over time and particularly during the tourist season.

The layout proposed (as marked by the orange paint) allows one lane each travel direction with a middle turning lane. This encourages travelers to slow down and stay at a consistent speed through town. In addition, there could be a four foot bicycle lane and parking on each side of the

First let me say that I look forward to the paper every week. I love the balance with the opinions and thoughts.

I suspect that the folks in Garfield County are every bit as wonderful and SMART as the folks here in Wayne county. I find it offensive to think that we can be so stupid as to not understand that Prop 19 was about a study to produce information about the form of government we use and not about changing it. Conversely HB257 is about stopping the conversation ensuring that “Their” way cannot be changed without another House Bill.

Both Lyman and Pollock are just afraid that the new people in the room may have stronger voices than them. If

they will remove if the road is to be improved. Previous maps were deemed as insufficient, and new maps have been submitted. One concern voiced by the Council about this Agreement is that there is an existing, unapproved encroachment of the septic lines. If a road were to be added, these would be an issue.

The Council was unwilling to accept the Agreement until wording is added to ensure that if and when the road is improved, the septic lines will be abandoned or removed. A motion was passed to accept the Encroachment Agreement with the addition of this language, and upon the approval of the town attorney.

Next, Josh Ellis, President of the Boulder Community Alliance (BCA), presented about Boulder’s 2019 Fourth of July celebration.

Current plans for this year include a parallel schedule from last year. The parade lineup will begin at 1:30, with the parade at 2, party in the park with children’s games from 3-6, followed by dinner and then dancing. The pre-dinner program will include a mix of talent and musical acts. As the Boulder Mountain Lodge and Hell’s Backbone Grill will not be holding their annual Fourth of July Talent Show this year, the BCA is planning a second event for Saturday night as well. As in past years, some funding will be provided by the Travel Council. Additionally, the Town passed a motion to provide the already budgeted $1500 for this event, and approved their use of the Town Park. Ellis also brought up a potential grant that would help cover costs of updating the Boulder Town informational signage on either end of town. Further discussion about this will occur at subsequent meetings.

number of short term rentals (STRs) in their quiet Teasdale neighborhood, and asked the Commissioners if the county had any control over the same. County Attorney Mike Olsen explained that the county requires a business license but that STRs could not be classed as commercial.

This is a thorny issue that exists all over the country, and will require much thoughtful consideration by residents and local officials alike.

Approval of a use agreement with USU for the Bicknell distant educational facility was tabled pending more information, especially regarding its use for the Rural

vertising the Music in the Park summer series, for the six days leading up to each event. It was proposed that it be posted on the west side of the bridge at the park entrance. Photos of the banner have not been submitted at this time, as there is currently a call out to the town to submit artwork for it. The ordinance allows for a banner up to sixteen square feet.

A vote was taken and the motion was passed to allow this request.

Following this, a discussion ensued about usage and fees of the Community Center. It has been brought to the Council’s attention that the community spaces are not always left clean after being used.

Currently, there are weekly recurring events on six nights of the week, as well as one-time or annual events held frequently. Fee collection for these recurring events has not been enforced, as many of these offerings are seen as community services. Most of these recurring groups are open to the public, and some ask for suggested donations.

When other groups, such as the Boulder Arts Council and the Writer’s Conference, have used the building for events that are not open to the public or charge a fee, they have been charged fees for using the space. Groups who use the building for private events such as family reunions have also been charged a fee. The Council discussed how to balance allowing community usage of the space with maintaining it. It was suggested that a clean-up checklist be given out with the keys, where users of the space would sign off that they have completed cleaning tasks. It was also suggested that a list be put together with guidelines about which types of groups to charge. For now, all parties who use the Community Center will be given a checklist and the Center maintenance worker will be asked to keep track of the conditions of the

Center following use.

Next on the agenda came a discussion on issues that exist within the current Subdivision Ordinance, including a section about culinary water. Zoning Administrator Curtis Oberhansly began by explaining a current liability issue. One example provided was that if an empty lot is sold without a water right and remains unbuilt upon for a length of time, it is possible that by the time someone wants to build, no water hookups will be available. At this point, the Town may be liable because the subdivision lot would no longer be able to provide all necessities, as agreed upon in the Subdivision Ordinance.

Proposed changes to the Ordinance would require water hookups to be in place before a subdivided lot could be sold.

In order to initiate the process of altering this, the Council passed a motion to send this issue to the Planning Commission.

Department reports followed. A utility vehicle has been purchased for the park to help with maintenance. It has been asked that work be done on the Town Park shed, including installing a new sliding door. An evaluation of Lower Boulder Road to determine where it would be best to put 25 mile per hour signs will be completed. Other signs in town will also be evaluated, and the worn down Yield sign by the post office will be replaced by a Stop sign. It has been asked that the Council consider adding a projector screen to the Community Room in the Community Center, which would help with the classes that are sometimes taught in that space. A public hearing on the Residential Short Term Rental Ordinance will occur at the next Planning Commission meeting on April 11, at 7pm.

The Boulder Town Council meets on the first Thursday of each month in the Boulder Community Center at 7pm.

Online Initiative (ROI.) A discussion of property tax exemptions was also tabled. These exemptions apply to religious, non-profit, and educational properties.

The next agenda item concerned the contract between the US Forest Service and Wayne County. Sheriff Jensen explained reciprocal agreements between neighboring counties on FS lands.

These agreements allow various law enforcement and emergency personnel to cross county lines to address drug enforcement, group activities and fire or other emergency situations. There is $5K in the Wayne County budget to support these activities, of which only half was used in 2018.

The contract was approved.

An additional agenda item was the installation of sound panels in the Bicknell Community Center. These panels would improve the acoustics in the large main room.

At meeting’s end, commissioners discussed the swimming pool in Bicknell, which is currently inoperative.

The cause of the malfunction is still being investigated.

Commissioner Harward also reported that work on the Wayne Wonderland Airport runway has commenced.

SUU Brings Hi-Tech ADA Accessibility to Campus with Portal Entryways

courTesy souThern uTah uniVersiTy

A bluetooth enabled smartphone app will allow patrons with disabilitied to open exterior doors automatically.

CEDAR CITY - Many of the building entrances across Southern Utah University’s campus are now Bluetooth enabled to open hands-free, making campus more accessible for everyone thanks to a partnership with Portal Entryways.

During the fall of 2017, SUU Facilities Management and the Disability Support office began working with a group of students from Brigham Young University to help develop the product for Portal Entryways (which at the time was a small startup).

This breakthrough technology provides an incredible opportunity for ADA access points.

"We are having more and more students using wheelchairs and having mobility difficulties, the fact that they

can have an app to open doors on campus immediately, without even having to touch their phone once the app is set up, is a step forward towards universal design,” said Carmen Alldredge, director of disability services at SUU. “SUU is moving forward thanks to those who understand and are willing to improve the lives of many."

The Bluetooth technology works to open the exterior door(s) automatically when a patron, with the corresponding app downloaded on their smartphone, comes within a certain amount of space from the door. At least one exterior door in most campus buildings will be equipped with this technology.

“We have contracted with Portal Entryways to install 40 transceivers across campus,

knowing this will make a tremendous difference to those needing assistance accessing campus buildings more readily,” said Tiger Funk, assistant vice president for Facilities Management.

“We are so excited to have the Portal Entryways devices installed. This provides easier access for anyone who can’t access a door, whether it’s a person in a wheelchair, a parent with a stroller, or a student with an armful of books,” said Disability Support Specialist Christine Bonnett.

Facilities Management has also committed ongoing funding for the annual contract price which includes technical support, data analytics, and future opportunities to expand the system.

The Portal Entryways app is available on the App Store and Play Store for all Apple and Android devices.

Doors with the transceivers installed on the SUU campus are indicated with a Portal Entryways decal on the door, which also has a QR code that can be scanned for more information.

“Portal Entryways has created opportunities for mobility that have never before been realized by persons unable to operate building access points,” Funk continued.

The Boulder Library is run by volunteers and is open Saturdays and Wednesdays. The library will host an open house on April 13.

library, as well as gather information about what additional resources people would like to see. The library currently has a “Book Wish List” posted, in which visitors can write suggestions for book purchases to be added to the shelves.

Though the Boulder library is small, it offers a large range of books, services, as well as opportunities for community engagement. Unlike the stereotypical idea of a quiet library with high, dividing shelves, scornful of noise, the Boulder library often acts as a place for gathering. Throughout the winter, for example, the library fundraises by hosting Library Cafés, which offer community members a space to come together during the slower-paced winter months, as well as a chance to enjoy coffee and baked goods for a suggested donation. But throughout the entire year, the sounds of community members checking in with one another, and conversations about books and a myriad of other subjects can be heard in the library. Lasting friendships as well as a better understanding of the history of the area can be forged in this space.

“My interest in the library started before we lived here full-time, before 2003, when I stepped in one Saturday out of curiosity, to see what they had,” says volunteer librarian Peg Smith. “Fay Jepsen was sitting at the desk. She watched me nose around for a bit, before asking, ‘And what's your name?’ It was Fay Jepsen who opened up the possibilities of the library for me. She's the one who made sure I read up on my Boulder history and

got to meet her many friends who'd stop by to chat while she was sitting there. ‘Helping’ Fay with library duties started out as a great excuse to meet people. It ended up becoming its own labor of love, as well as an enduring friendship with Fay.” This sometimes overlooked aspect of libraries as places that encourage community cohesiveness is celebrated this year in National Library Week’s theme, Libraries = Strong Communities. The American Library Association has chosen this theme with the aim of highlighting how libraries provide critical public spaces at the heart of community life. They are venues where people of various age and socioeconomic groups converge for multimedia resources, civic engagement opportunities, educational programs, and even, during times of emergency, safe haven. Libraries provide invaluable access to research material, entertainment, and allow for exploration of cultural identity and history. The Boulder library, for example, houses a section of books written specifically about Boulder and the surrounding area.

These memoirs, factbooks, travelogues, and other collections provide a link between current Boulderites and the rich cultural and geographic record of the place.

The Boulder Library was organized in 2005 by two volunteers, and at that time was open only three hours a week.

Currently, there are 8-14 volunteers, depending on the time of year, who staff the library during open hours, Saturdays 10-2 and Wednesdays 11:30-1:30.

The shelves of books, DVDs, audiobooks, and, most recently, CDs, are stocked mainly by

Today, there is more awareness that the future of the world is in the hands of young children. It’s understood that between birth and 5 years of age, the brain develops rapidly to build the foundation of cognitive and character skills necessary for success in school, health and life. It is now widely accepted that the same dollar will go much further if invested early than it will later on, and more research is showing that quality early childhood education reduces dropout rates, poverty and crime, while improving the skills of the workforce of tomorrow.

However, inequality in early childhood education produces inequality in ability, achievement, health and adult success.

One example of a program leading the charge to move the needle is PNC Grow Up Great, a bilingual initiative to help children from birth through age 5 prepare for success in school and in life, now celebrating its 15th anniversary. Grow Up Great goes beyond the classroom, supporting learning and social-emotional development at home and across communi-

ties, by providing free resources and tools to parents, guardians, teachers and caregivers.

When PNC employees chose this philanthropic focus in 2004, investing in early childhood education generally did not have the widespread support it does today. Fifteen years ago, in its headquarters state of Pennsylvania, the government didn’t have a line item in its budget for early childhood education, and fewer than 2,400 3- and 4-year-olds were enrolled in state-funded preschool programs. In 2017, more than 28,000 3- and 4-year-olds were enrolled in Pennsylvania state-funded preschool programs, according to research done by the National Institute for Early Education Research.

A lot has changed in 15 years, but one thing has remained the same, PNC’s focus on and commitment to improving access to quality early childhood education. To date, more than 5 million children across the country have been supported through PNC’s grants and educational programming. Employees spent more than 100,000 hours vol-

donation. New, noteworthy, or highly requested books are also purchased with money gained through fundraising efforts. In addition to the selection of books, the library also offers free Wifi and computer usage. “I’m always comforted being surrounded by books,” says volunteer librarian Dan Pence, “Some are old friends, but most hold something new for me to learn from. Such an amazing array of information and knowledge. And I am intrigued to see what others are interested in.”

When asked about National Library Week, library volunteer Dianne Oberhansley shared a favorite quote from a recent article in the Catalyst entitled, “Reasons to Love Your Library: Think of Them as Resilience Centers.” “Sometimes people ask whether it’s more ecologically sound to read print books (made from highly processed dead trees) or ebooks (distributed via equipment made from plastic and conflict minerals, powered by fossil fuels). In fact, the most sustainable option is a library book that you borrow and give back so someone else can read it." Libraries provide the venue and means for information and idea exchange, for resource sharing and community cohesiveness.

Moreover, a shared book provides a means of connection in itself by inciting wonder about the other people who have turned through the pages. May this National Library Week remind us to appreciate the ways that libraries strengthen our knowledge base, as well as our communities. And don’t forget to join the celebration on April 13 at the Boulder Library Open House!

How Nationwide Program Supports Early Childhood Education unteering for Grow Up Great in 2018, up 1 That trend is significant and powerful. The company has made a difference by leveraging its influence with the business community, policymakers and other key stakeholders to garner support for quality early childhood education. And teaming with partners that share its goals such as Sesame Workshop, Fred Rogers Productions and the National Head Start Association. Working with The Pew Charitable Trusts and Committee for Economic Development, they launched the firstever summit of the nation’s top economists to explore the economic impact of investment in early education.

“All children deserve to begin their lives on equal footing and receive high-quality early learning experiences that have a lifelong positive impact,” says Sally McCrady, chair and president of the PNC Foundation. “Fortunately, we are making progress and look forward to the day that vision becomes a reality.”

Legal Issues Related to Funeral Planning When you die, who will decide what happens to your body? Who will decide your burial location and the funeral arrangements?

If a daughter from an earlier marriage wants her father buried near her mother in Los Angeles but the daughter’s stepmother wants her husband buried in Southern Utah or Nevada, whose desire will prevail? If a person wants to be cremated but never told those close to her, will she be cremated?

Answers to the above questions depend on you.

You must make the decisions in writing regarding your funeral and burial before you die. Part of your estate planning should entail addressing these issues.

State law provides that the person named in your will (an “executor,” or now more commonly referred to as “personal representative”) shall have authority prior to appointment by the court to carry out written instructions of the decedent relating to his body, funeral, and burial arrangements.

This means two things.

First, you should have a will naming someone as execu-

by JeFFery J. mckenna tor or personal representative.

Second, you should provide written instructions to your personal representative regarding your burial and funeral arrangements. Both of these steps are vitally important.

If you have not left a will naming an executor or personal representative and written directions (whether in your will or some other document), the law is unclear as to who has authority to make those decisions. This uncertainty can and has lead to terrible disagreements between family members which is something everyone probably wants to avoid.

On occasion, family members have discussed with me and others in our office their desire to change, or their fear that another family member will want to change, the location of burial of a loved one.

Significantly, the courts have stated that it is a sound and well-established policy of law that a person, once buried, should not be exhumed except for the most compelling of reasons.

Because burial decisions have to be made very quickly

Marathon

Last year I entered the New York City Marathon. The race started and immediately I was the last of the runners. It was embarrassing.

The guy who was in front of me, second to last, was making fun of me. He said, "Hey buddy, how does it feel to be last?" I replied: "You really want to know?" Then I dropped out of the race.

Customer Service

Lisa, who is my coworker at the travel agency where we're both employed, had a customer whose trip was a complete fiasco from start to finish. Lisa was going to write him a letter of apology, but wasn't sure how to begin.

I reminded her of a similar experience one of my customers had the previous year, and dug out the letter I'd written for him so she could use it as an example. Handing it to her, I said, "All you have to do is change the details: the date, the trip info, and the name."

Lisa glanced at it, chuckled and shook her head. Then she looked up at me and said, "We won't even have to change the name."

Hair Woes

Bill's hair kept falling out and he complained to his barber. "That stuff you gave me," he cried, "is terrible! You said two bottles of it would make me hair grow, but nothing's happened." "I don't understand it," said the barber.

"That's the best hair restorer made." "Well," said Bill, "I don't mind drinking another bottle, but it had better work!"

Birthday

Nolan, 4, was "helping" his mom Lisa with the dishes when she asked him who's birthday would be next week. He replied, "Yours, Mom." And he was right. Then she asked him how old she would be and he replied "33, Mom, and that's old."

Well of course Lisa didn't like that very much so she asked him if she LOOKED old and he replied, "No, but you will when you are 33… just like Daddy."

FYI PanguItch

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com The noise you heard last Saturday evening was another Bobcat State Championship.

This time it was the Drama Team’s turn to strut their stuff. The Cats won the allimportant one act play with the team putting on a flawless performance of the play Crisis Inc. Jayde Rose won the best actress award. The play was about a company whose business was if you had a crisis in your life, call them and they would do the panicking for you. Their timing, with so many parts in the play was perfect. In the Classical Scenes, Nate Sarles, Gabriel Sarles and Samantha Lamb took 3rd place. Contemporary Scenes Jayde Rose and Athina Kremidas took 2nd place.

Humorous Monologues Kam Petsche took 2nd place and in Dramatic Monologues Jessica Muirhead took 1st.

Elaine Baldwin started the morning off with a little miracle story. They had lost a cord to one of their recording machines and could not find it anywhere. However, in the morning Mike Sarles called and he had a dream that night and the cord in the dream was near the hospital by a red cup and low and behold, he went there and picked it up. Elaine told the students that it was their day for miracles, so get ready to do their best.

Elaine and Cheryl Church really put in a lot of hours working with the students, putting together their parts.

It was really exciting for the kids to come through town as the State Champions, with the sirens and horns honking, as a reward for their hard work.

Good news for the local businesses, open enrollment for the Quilt Walk had 235 folk sign up for the classes, on the first day. Finally the Social Hall is being repaired, due to the fire damage that was

caused by a fire eight months ago. Most of the damage was done to the stage, which had to be replaced, because of the damage to the beams holding up the stages. The insurance company was really dragging their feet paying for the repair--damage that you thought you were paying for.

The state is closing the road into Zion, starting at Mt. Carmel junction to the main tunnel, for three weeks starting this week until May 6th. This could be good if those that want to come over to Bryce will have to come by way of Highway 20 and through town. However Pat and I always go down to the Hurricane Car show on the Saturday before Easter Sunday, we will probably go the freeway.

Speaking of Easter, it is coming up shortly and the 22nd annual Easter Egg Hunt will be on Friday the 19th this year and will start at 10:00 am.

As usually it will be down at the Fair Grounds. Kids bring your bags, there will be plenty of candy and a whole lot of prizes. Parents and Grandparents bring your cameras, for the fastest 15 minutes of picking up stuff.

Gas prices are going up, so you might want to top off your tank. Oil is over the 60 dollar range, OPEC is still cutting back a million barrels a day, however the U.S. produces 15 million barrels a day and that is expected to raise up to 19.5 million barrels by 2024. Most of the increase is expected to come from shale fields, which will account for almost half of the U.S. output.

Gas at COSTCO in St. George is still $2.39 a gallon, up north two weeks ago it had gone from $1.95 to $2.15.

We went to see Dumbo last week and it was pretty good, I believe that it will be

showing tonight for the last time. Shazam will be coming this week. I learned that Shazam is an acronym for the greats of mythology: Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles and Mercury.

I thought it was something that the Deputy on Mayberry made up.

Speaking of movies, here is something that you might want to look into. Maga fans are ready for the Marvel movie marathon. For $99.00 you can go to the Megaplex Theatre in SLC and you can view a marathon of all 22 Marvel Cinematic Universe movies.

This will go on for 60 hours, with 15 minutes breaks between movies. You do get unlimited popcorn and drinks.

For another $99 bucks you can get signed up for lunch and dinner for all three days and breakfast on the 2nd and 3rd days. What a deal!

At Thanksgiving Point it is the annual Tulip Festival and it will be running through May 6th. They have planted over 250,000 tulip bulbs, we went last year and their gardens are some of the finest in the country. They also have a number of statues depicting Christ’s life and they are worth the price of admission.

It has been a nice three weeks without the coal trucks running. However they are just gearing up for a much bigger run, they will be going 24/7 from now on. It is quite a process that they go through, they have to dig down about 50 feet to get to the coal and these holes are quite massive and take some time to dig.

But the coal veins are right there, and they just blast away at it and haul it away.

I do get the SLC Tribune on Friday and Saturday, and much of my information I put in print, is from them. Sat. SLC had this to say about our newly elected congressman, Phil Lyman. The Feds are raising his payments on his $90.000 dollar fine, from $100 a month to $500. At $100 a month it would only take him 85 years to pay off the fine.

On Friday Lyman stated in the SLC Tribune that anyone with a sense of justice should be appalled by the actions of U.S. Attorney’s office.

Well the March madness is over with and the ladies game on Sunday was really quite exciting. Baylor led by 12 in the 4th quarter when their star went down with a knee injury and Notre Dame battled back and tied up the game with 2 minutes left and the score went back and forth and with 4 seconds left Baylor hit a two pointer to go ahead. A Notre Dame girl missed a shot, but was fouled and missed the first foul shot and made the second, Baylor inbounded the ball and came away winners by one point.

The men’s game is tomorrow night. The NBA has two more games on their schedule this weeks and then their second season starts up. The Jazz are currently in 5th place and will be in the playoffs.

MANILA, DAGGETT COUNTY - Several agencies are asking for the public's help in improving the health of the Flaming Gorge Reservoir fishery. The most beneficial step anglers can take is to keep the small lake trout they catch.

Currently, the popular reservoir in northeastern Utah — known for producing some of the largest lake trout in the country — has too many small lake trout in it. In Flaming Gorge, lake trout larger than 25 inches mainly consume kokanee salmon and rainbow trout. If the abundant population of smaller lake trout (under 25 inches) is not reduced, there could be impacts on the salmon and rainbow trout populations, as well as fewer fish to feed the trophy lake trout.

Ryan Mosley, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources' lead fisheries biologist at Flaming Gorge, says growth rates for lake trout have diminished in the reservoir since the 1990s.

"In the 1990s, an 8-yearold lake trout was about 30 inches long," Mosley said.

"Today, an 8-year-old fish is about 23 inches long. On top of the decreased length, the number of lake trout in the reservoir has increased dramatically in the last couple of years, and we're concerned the situation is going to get worse."

The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources has partnered with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department and the Flaming Gorge Chamber of Commerce to get the

word out that anglers can help the fishery by keeping small lake trout.

"Many anglers don't realize the smaller lake trout are quite tasty," Mosley said.

"They're one of my favorite fish to eat. In Flaming Gorge, only kokanee salmon rival them in taste."

Lake trout limits In 2019, the lake trout daily limit was increased to 12 lake trout, with only one fish exceeding 28 inches. Anglers also have a two-day possession limit at the reservoir.

During the spring, lake trout forage close to the shoreline, so anglers should have excellent opportunities to fill their limits.

"Anglers are fundamental to helping control the number of lake trout in the reservoir,"

Mosley said. "Many anglers don't fish the Gorge's open water this time of year, so there's very little fishing pressure. It's a great time to get out and target these smaller fish."

The agencies are hosting a fishing tournament that will give anglers an additional incentive to reduce the number of small lake trout at Flaming Gorge.

Derby info The fishing tournament, the Mac Attack Derby, will be held April 27-28 and is open to both boating and shoreline anglers. Prizes will be awarded for catching the daily limit that has the most pounds of lake trout under 25 inches.

The entry fees will be redistributed as prizes.

"We hope efforts like this derby also serve as an educational opportunity to address the biologists' growing concerns," Mosley said. "Anglers can help the Flaming Gorge fishery by harvesting these small lake trout."

For more information about the rules of the tournament and how to enter, visit the Wyoming Game and Fish Department WGFD Green River Region website or the Flaming Gorge Chamber of Commerce website or Facebook page.

If you have questions about specific locations or techniques to target smaller lake trout at Flaming Gorge, call the DWR Northeastern Region office at 435-8853164.

Utah Places More Foster Kids with Relatives, Families

SALT LAKE CITY - The lives of foster children are improving in Utah and other states, according to a new report from the Annie E. Casey Foundation.

The study found that between 2007 and 2017, Utah significantly increased the number of foster kids placed in family settings, either with a relative or a foster family, while fewer were sent to group homes or institutions.

Terry Haven, interim CEO at the group Voices for Utah Children, explains it is always better to place children in the stability of a family home.

"Placing young kids with relatives or close friends' families when they can't stay with their birth families, I think helps minimize the trauma of removal and maintains those vital connections that they have in the communities, and

keeping sibling groups together," Haven says.

In 2017, Utah had almost 3,000 children in foster care, and 88% were placed with families, up from 79% in 2007. Nationally, the placements of foster kids in homes increased by 5 percentage points during the same period.

The report noted that foster children placed with relatives are more likely to finish school, be employed or find employment later, and less likely to become early parents.

Haven says the report shows Utah needs to improve in the placement of older kids and children of color.

"In 2017, there was only 1% of our kids who are 12 years and under who are placed in group homes or institutions; 24% of our kids over age 12 are placed," she said. "For African-American children, it was at 14%, com-

The Insider

pared to 9% for non-Hispanic white kids."

Rob Geen, director of policy and advocacy reform with the Annie E. Casey Foundation, says new federal legislation passed in 2018 is expected to give states more tools to place foster children in the best possible situation.

"The Family First Prevention Services Act gives states new resources and new incentives to do exactly what the title says," Geen explains, "place 'families first' as a priority for children."

The report also recommends that, to increase family placements, states should increase services available to families, remove barriers from recruiting foster families, engage families in decisionmaking and require approvals for non-kin placements.

5 Ways to Celebrate Earth Month

courTesy sTaTePoinTmeDia

Five simple ways to celebrate Earth Month and be more environmentally conscious.

UTAH - Are you looking for ways to celebrate Earth Month? From enjoying nature to making simple changes to your routine that will have a positive impact on the environment, here are five cool ideas for marking the occasion.

1. Reduce and reuse.

You may not realize how much waste you create each day when you use disposable containers, bags and plastic bottles. While recycling is a great thing to do, that process itself takes a lot of energy to support and, unfortunately, not everything makes it to the recycling center. A better way to reduce your waste is by ditching single-use items and opting for more eco-friendly, reusable alternatives.

2. Make smart swaps.

Disposing of hazardous items such as batteries and bulbs can be tricky. Take a walk through your home and swap out items containing hazardous materi-

als, such as bulbs with mercury, to rechargeable or hybrid alternatives. For example, Casio’s LampFree projectors have a hybrid Laser and LED light source which removes the need for hazardous bulbs.

3. Skip “fast fashion.”

Many of your favorite stores likely sell what is known as “fast fashion.” The fast fashion concept is what brings brand new apparel to consumers on a consistent basis, but unfortunately, the mass production of these cheaply made garments takes a toll on the environment. You can secure fashionable finds in an ecofriendly way by taking a look at apps and websites that sell second-hand clothing or even by visiting a consignment or thrift shop for unique finds.

Declutter your own closet and give your clothing a second life by making donations to those in need.

4. Get outdoors. Celebrate the beauty of the planet

by getting outdoors. Whether you’re going on a hike, kayaking, or just taking a walk, high-tech wearables can help you make the most of the adventure. For example, Casio’s WSD-F30 Pro Trek Smart Outdoor Watch is durable and water-resistant, and includes apps that support outdoor activities. Such technology can help you track your activity, navigate your surroundings, and even remind you when it’s time to take a water break.

5. Get your veggies. Pick one day each week to eat a plant-based meal and skip the meat. You’ll be doing the planet a whole lot of good, as the production of meat and animal-based products requires far more water and land use than the production of plant-based foods do. Consider also being more mindful about food waste in your own household, buying only what you need.
