LOA - The April Loa Town Council meeting was held on Thursday, April 14th. Mayor Cody Grundy started the meeting by excusing councilor Bart Brian, who was absent due to feeling poorly. This left council members Don Bone, Chris Olson, and Ryan Rees, as well as town clerk Michelle Brian and maintenance supervisor Matt Morgan, present for the meeting.

The first item on the agenda was city water. Arsenic levels are checked regularly because it fluctuates occasionally with the rise and fall of the water pressure, but tests show they remain within safe levels. The ditch for irrigation will be started in a few weeks when the weather allows. Starting date for water irrigation is estimated to be May 1st.

An update on the stop signs showed that most have been put in, and the council just needs to order a few more before the work can be completed. The city also needs more American flags for holiday observances. City workers will replace cemetery sod in the coming weeks.

The sidewalk extension for Main Street was discussed next. Water meters have already been checked

WAYNE COUNTY The Wayne County Commission Meeting was held on 04/18/2022. Commissioners Wood, Brian and Blackburn were in attendance. The agenda for the meeting was accepted and approved. Minutes from the Commission meeting held on 04/04/2022 were accepted and approved.

The first order of business was the swearing in of Julie Howard, the newest member of the planning and zoning commission.

Tyler Timmons—who is with Six County Association of Governements—brought forth six projects for the commissions' approval.

• Cainville: needs water system upgrade • Hanksville: $1,000,000 sewer and water improvement • Lyman: mini-excavator and a trailer for the city cemetery (The cemetery is out of plots and needs to expand.)

• Torrey: walking path through Torrey City limits • Bicknell: planning grant to update city ordinances • Torrey: remodel old fire station into office space The motion was passed and approved.

10th Annual Governor's State of Sport Awards Celebrates Utah's Athletic Excellence

Whittni Orton—alumna of Panguitch High School—was honored as Collegiate Female Athlete of the Year at the 10th annual Governor's State of Sport Awards in Salt Lake City on April 14, 2022.

SALT LAKE CITY - In 2012, the Utah Sports Commission, in conjunction with the Governor, created the Governor's State of Sport Awards to celebrate Utah's sports industry and honor excellence on a high school, collegiate, professional, Olympic and Paralympic level.

"From the largest stadiums and loudest arenas to the city parks and school gyms, there's nothing quite like sports to bring us together as a community. All year long we watch our favorite athletes and teams compete as we cheer them on through the wins and losses," said Governor Spencer Cox.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Governor's State of Sport Awards presented by Intermountain Healthcare and Zions Bank and featured keynote speaker Tony Hawk.

"It was an amazing year in sports and it was so crucial to have the action and excitement return after an extended interruption from the pandemic. Sports played a key role in this recovery," said Jeff Robbins, President and CEO of the Utah Sports Commission.

PANGUITCH - The pioneer Homestead Act allowed for free settlement and ownership of 160 acres of federal lands. Most of Utah’s lands in the valleys with reasonable farmland and water sources

were settled and became privately owned. However, since much of Utah is mountains and dry desert-like areas, these lands remained in federal ownership. Most are now managed as national parks and

monuments, or by the US Forest Service (USFS) and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

Plenty of Californians are Just Like You and Me

Lisa Jeppson

Vicky Bower's liquor store in Bicknell had its last day open on April 27, 2022. They will be moving to a new location in Torrey, which will give them twice the space as their former location.

BICKNELL - Last call for the liquor store located in Bicknell was on April 27, 2022, at 7:00 p.m. It’s sad to see the old store move to a new location in Torrey. Vicky Bower stated that they have outgrown the space, and the new space is going to be twice the size. Besides selling alcohol to the public, Vicky services ten restaurants from Hanksville to Boulder. The new store will be located in the gift shop area of the old Saddlery building, which will be getting a face lift and a new name, “The Mercantile.” She doesn’t know what she will do with the old store space at this time.

Vicky is hoping to get the new store location up and running by May 3rd and open at noon. The store hours will remain the same—Tuesday through Saturday, noon to 7:00 p.m.

Torrey and Hanksvill FD Respond to Grass Fire Off Notom Road

As I said in my previous letter to the editor, I am a native Californian. Doing the math shows I have lived about 91% of my life in what used to be the Golden State, specifically, in the San Francisco Bay Area, which includes Silicon Valley. The coincidence of my birth and of my upbringing sometimes makes it awkward in this part of Utah when I'm asked, “Where are you from?”

My standard answer is, “California . . . the good part.”

That is a safe reply. If I happen to be talking to one of the few Progressives, Liberals, or California-style Democrats in Escalante or in Garfield County, or talking to a tourist on a visit here from two states over, they might assume I'm an OK guy, one of them. They might even make one of their snide remarks about Mormons, how they all worship Donald Trump.

The reaction to my standard answer is a little different from the long-time residents of Utah, including those whose families have been here for generations. Sometimes they seem surprised to learn there are good parts of California.

Well, let me tell you, there are plenty of Californians who respect our Constitution as the supreme law of this great nation, who believe in equality under the law—that all men are created equal, who believe in one nation under God with liberty and justice for all, who believe in truth and fairness, in redemption and forgiveness, in the equality of opportunity under a meritocracy, and who believe in the time-tested best of Judaeo-Christian traditions.

In other words, there are plenty of Californians who are just like you and me. That's a fact.

NOTOM ROAD - The Torrey and Hanksville fire departments responded to a grass fire off the Notom Road, on private property. In the high wind, the fire ran up a tree and took several hours and lots of water to put out. Workers from South Central were on the site first and controled the blaze until the fire departments arrived.

Thanks to those people. Without them the fire would probably have been much worse. There was a fire ring with warm rocks and ashes present on the site.

The Secret to Living is Giving

by Cynthia Kimball Davis

In 2020, Henrieville, Utah, parents Travis and Erica Shakespear lost their youngest child, Grady, to bacterial meningitis. They recently spoke with Cynthia Kimball Davis about their son, advocating for pediatric organ donorship and their Gifts from Grady Foundation.

Cynthia Kimball Davis: So, tell me about your story?

Erica Woolsey Shakespear: Our son, Grady, passed away December 2, 2020, from bacterial meningitis. We chose to have his organs donated. We met a family in the hospital waiting room…[Their child] was having a liver transplant. When we knew Grady couldn’t come home, we decided the best option was to donate his organs in hopes that other children would have another chance at life. And then from there, we created a…foundation [Gifts from Grady].

DAVIS: What is the mission of your foundation?

ERICA: We raise awareness for organ donation, one tiny donor at a time, in honor of Grady-boy. We raise funds that we donate back to other donor families…We also know funeral’s

giving, whether it's your time or love or money. I’ve got a saying, from a friend, who said, “The secret to living is giving.” Everytime we get to help a family, it puts a little peace back in the hole in our heart.

ERICA: Part of the reason we chose to do this is because we couldn’t save our own child, and so we’re advocating for organ donation with the emphasis on pediatric organ donation. There are 1,900 children on the national waiting list and several of them die waiting for organs…Grady was perfectly healthy, and he had the perfect organs, so we thought, “Why not. Why not give parents time to spend with their children.”

DAVIS: I love this. Anything else that’s helped you?

ERICA: Always our faith. First and foremost… and today’s April 1, National Donate Life Month. We have a Celebrate Life Retreat on April 30, Donor Remembrance Day. Our hope is that no matter who is grieving or what loss they have, they’ll come celebrate life.

DAVIS: You’re amazing.

Just amazing. Say, sometimes I hear, where organs have been donated and families meet each other. What does it mean

This is our “why,” and it’s uncomfortable for people and our loss is uncomfortable for people. We want them to know it’s important we say our son’s name because even though he’s physically gone from us, he’s not gone for us…Grieving doesn’t end at the funeral. It doesn’t end because we put dirt over our child and closed the cas-

DAVIS: So the family you met in the hospital, where the boy needed a liver transplant, that was a motivating factor to donate Grady’s organs?

Travis Shakespeare: It was kinda of happenstance.

While Erica was up in the room with Grady, I was just sitting there by myself and…

I overheard [a couple] and…I told them [why I was there] and they told me their kid was in there for a liver transplant and it just hit me, “that’s what’s going to happen.”

DAVIS: This was at Primary Children’s Hospital?

ERICA & TRAVIS: Yes. ERICA: I’m a medical assistant, so I knew when we woke or tried to wake Grady up that morning, it was really serious…They had to call Life Flight from Panguitch and they took him to Primary’s and we spent five days there.

DAVIS: How old was Grady at this time?

ERICA: Nine and a half months.

DAVIS: What has this experience taught you?

TRAVIS: That life’s fragile. Live everyday as best you can, make memories and love each other unconditionally, especially your kids and close knit family…one of the most important lessons I was taught as a kid was the gift of

knowing Grady’s kind of still here in a way?

ERICA: We haven’t had the chance to meet his recipients, but we pray everyday that we get to. I cannot give up hope that I will hear his heartbeat again someday. I know he had the perfect little heart and to know that, it brings a lot of peace, knowing that it’s still beating in that little girl wherever she is and whatever she’s doing.

DAVIS: Absolutely. And sometimes several organs are donated …

ERICA: …Grady got to give three. One went to a baby girl and the other went to two males that have children. So, essentially we did help those children because they got their father longer. Organ donation not only saves lives, but it’s healing too.

DAVIS: What one last thing would you like to share?

ERICA: You never think it can happen to you and until that safety net or that rug is ripped out from under you, then you don’t quite understand what’s like to be the

ket. It’s an everyday battle for us. So, I think it’s important to reach out to people even months or years down the road and just say, “Hey, we’re thinking about you, we love you.”

TRAVIS: Just spread the word about our foundation.

We want to reach out to people as far as we can.

ERICA: We have the Celebrate Life Retreat coming up, where we will have our silent auction.

It will be in Tropic on April 30 at Kodachrome Basin State Park. There’s hiking, biking, e-biking, and rappelling. We do this as a family effort. Travis and I believe in the importance of serving and giving to others. This is a positive place for us to put our grief.

DAVIS: You two are doing great things. Taking something tragic and making good with it.

ERICA: Thank you.

There’s one thing from my grief coach that’s helped: “Use your pain as fuel to do good in the world.”

For Some in UT, College Dreams Cut Short

by Pandemic

Inability to pay was the most cited reason for educational disruption, according to an analysis by the Latino Politics and Policy Initiative at UCLA. UTAH - Low-income families in Utah may have shifted funds from education to pay for pandemic-related costs, a trend in line with findings showing Black and Latino youths have been disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, including their plans to attend college.

The Latino Politics and Policy Initiative at UCLA reported for the year 2020, nearly one-third of Black and Latino students scrapped postsecondary education plans at a rate higher than white students.

Teri Peters, program design and monitoring manager for Centro de la Familia, a children's educational advocacy nonprofit, said as the pandemic continued into 2021, Utah families in need changed how they asked for help.

"There was a dramatic drop in the number of parents that were requesting anything that had to do with education,"

Peters recounted. "All these other things that they used to ask for just fell off because we were getting more requests for housing, food, clothing."

The UCLA study contended more federal- and schoolbased support is required to alleviate the additional economic and social constraints students of color now face.

Miguel Cardona, U.S. Secretary of Education, speaking in an online discussion organized by the nonprofit Lumina Foundation, noted the pandemic's effects on minority communities will be felt into the future.

"Enrollment has plummeted by nearly a million students nationwide, with the steepest declines at our community colleges, and among men of color," Cardona reported. "The impact of this 'missing million' could be felt for decades. It can mean fewer opportunities, lower earnings and even poor health outcomes."

While some Utah families and students have struggled during the pandemic, Peters pointed out high schoolers currently engaged in Centro de la Familia's college prep programs have learned from the experience of older peers who had less time to prepare.

"These are students who were freshmen, sophomores at the beginning of the pandemic," Peters explained. "They've had the time to think about how they're going to pay for school.

Whereas juniors and seniors at the beginning of the pandemic, all of a sudden they're just dropped into the middle of this thing that nobody has any knowledge how long it's going to last, how it's going to impact."

Peters added income, and having access to funding as an American citizen or documented resident, may be the most important factor for student success.

Wills, Trusts, and More

Can I Do My Own Estate Plan?

by Jeffery J. McKenna In this article, I would like to talk a little about doing your own estate planning.

When people ask me if they can do their own estate planning, my simple answer is “yes.” There are many wills probated that were prepared by the decedent without professional assistance. Many of these wills are submitted to the court, and the estate is administered without problem.

Additionally, there are many trusts prepared without professional assistance. Although the degree of error is often higher with the use of a trust, these can also be prepared and administered without professional assistance and without problems. However, there is also a large portion of these documents (both wills and trusts prepared without professional assistance) that do have problems. Often, when there are problems, the problems are significant.

I like to compare estate planning to having a baby.

Can someone deliver a baby without a trained and experienced professional? The answer is yes. It was done that way for hundreds and thousands of years. However, is

there less likelihood of having serious problems if someone with more training and experience is involved in the process? Again, I believe most would agree that the answer is "yes."

Like most undertakings, the more training and experience one has planning an estate, the greater likelihood that serious complications can be avoided.

In deciding whether to do your own estate planning without professional assistance, I believe the question to be asked is how much time are you willing to devote to understanding the process and how much risk are you comfortable taking regarding the disposition of your estate.

In writing this article as a professional involved in estate planning, it is not my desire to “create” work for estate planners. Improper estate planning resulting in complications generates much more work and legal fees than proper estate planning and a subsequent, smooth estate administration.

It may be that estate planning can be compared to preventive mechanics. You can pay for the tune ups and

She is preceded in death by her parents and husband Donald Gene Byrne; infant daughter Laurie Beth Byrne; siblings Betty Collvett, Wayne Ely, Joan Vandyke, Dorothy Poole, Beverly Erdman; and son-in-law, Arnold Schmith.

Darlene married Donald Gene Byrne July 4, 1960. Together they raised five children. Our childhood was catching fireflies, jumping in leaves, drive-in-movies, and ice cream cones.

Summers were playing outside, eating watermelon, corn-on-the-cob, fishing and swimming.

Mom loved us with all her heart. Her family was her whole world.

Mom was very intelligent and self-taught. She loved to read, and had a great sense of humor. She would often tell people that she had four girls and a boy but wanted five boys! She was a great debater and had strong views of her political preference. As a young woman, her dream was to become a lawyer.

Mom loved the holidays. On Easter, we received a new outfit and Easter basket. Pictures were taken, and we went to church. Christmas was her favorite. Mom went all out with décor, gifts, and traditional dinner. Her excitement was felt by all of us.

On our birthday, we celebrated with a cake, gifts, and a new outfit.

Mom was a perfectionist in all she did. She was always beautiful, hard-working and meals were delicious.

Mom was an early riser. Her favorite time was when the sun was coming up. We would hear her singing as she came in our rooms to wake us. She would say "There's work to be done and bridges to be built." Mom is so loved and each one of us acquired a part of her.

Mom and dad had many good years together in retirement.

They enjoyed going to the movies and out to dinner. Their daily activities included long walks in the park, reading and being together.

Darlene is survived by one sibling, Nancy Dvorak; and her five children Connie Jones, Linda (Larry) Mrkvicka, Mike (Jayne) Lovitt, Michelle Schmith and Rebecca (Alan) Fogle.

She is also survived by 13 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great-grandchildren.

Darlene will be interred alongside her husband in the Panguitch Cemetery in Panguitch, Utah. She will be surrounded by the mountains she loved.

Mom, we love you more!

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com We will be gone this weekend, and so I am writing this a little early. Spring sure teases you for a long time.

The one thing that is constant is the wind. We have some beautiful days this week, but it is supposed to snow on Friday the 23. The weather people have said that before, but we sure can use any moisture we can get.

The Danny Yardley family all made it back from Boston (there were 14 of them).

They were there to see Danny run the marathon, which he finished. He said it was a great experience. There were 24,000 in the race, and he said that it was really something dodging all those runners.

The family toured Boston and walked the Freedom Trail.

I think Boston is the finest city that we have been to in the U.S. They have lines in the roads that outline the different historical places in the city. Danny is the cross country teams' coach, and he runs along with them. They have many state championships for their records.

At the last Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints, President Russell M. Nelson commented on all of the new temples that were going to be built. He mentioned one in Cusco, Peru, and I thought that was a little strange. We have been there, and I should

O bituaries Jerri Ivie SALINA - Jerri LaRae Hunt Ivie joined us in life on October 28, 1950, in Tooele, Utah. She spent many years of her youth growing up in Grover, Utah. Her beauty and friendly nature attracted people to her. Her caring ways made them longtime friends. She graduated from Wayne High School and enjoyed being a beautician in Provo, Utah. But shortly returned to Wayne County to help her first husband build Chappell’s Cheese Company. She then sought more education at Snow College, graduating as an LPN while raising her seven children.

She loved to play guitar and sing. Her older children remember her jamming with well-respected musicians, who still ask about her today.

A local TV show recognized her talent and invited her to play on their TV show.

She also enjoyed spending time with family and dancing. She met Dee Ivie on main street in Gunnison and fell in love.

They spent the next 27 years raising their 11 children, hunting for Native American artifacts and enjoying life.

Jerri truly faced life as an adventure. In 1998, Jerri survived a life threatening fight with a hemorrhagic stroke and aneurysms to her brain. Because of her grit and resilience, topped with a strong work ethic, she walked away healthy. Even when weak from surgery, she faced life with a smile as she would keep “running up the hills”.

When fighting illness and other challenges Jerri helped others enjoy life. A true light to everyone around her, a beacon of acceptance and love, while being true to her beliefs.

She later became Post Certified and started working for Utah Department of Corrections in 2000. She enjoyed helping and instructing the inmates at the Gunnison Prison. She possessed a demeanor of humility and honesty that commanded respect. She is the only prison guard to have the inmates sing “I am a child of God” to help them get a better attitude.

As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she enjoyed working in the Manti Temple. She also enjoyed accompanying her children and their spouses in attending the temple.

Due to her passing on April 20, 2022, at her home in Salina, she will be missed by all who knew her, but especially by her husband Dee Ivie; children: Blain and Amy Chappell, Laura and Jay Hales, George and Holly Chappell, Cena and Andy Rasmussen, Melina and Ryan Huntsman, Charles and Erika Chappell, Teri and Doug Hart, Jeremy and Mackenzie Ivie, Angie Ivie, Robyn Ivie Davis and Darin and Lacie Ivie. As well as her sisters: Marsha Lancaster, Flora Hallows, Lafawn Kelly; and her brother, Terry Hunt. As in life, her friendship will continue to grow through her 30 grandchildren and 1 great-granddaughter.

Preceded in death by her parents, Norma Dean Hunt and Fawn Ellis Hunt; sister, Vicki Nebeker.

Funeral services were held Monday, April 25, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. in the Salina Creek Ward Chapel, 87 South 100 East, where friends called from 9:30 - 10:30 a.m. Burial was on Tuesday, April 26, at 1:00 p.m. in the Strawberry Cemetery in Duchesne, Utah.

have remembered its history.

It is the highest city in the world at almost 12,000 feet and 450,000 live there. The small hotel that we stayed in was five stories high, and it was the tallest building in town. It is the gateway to Machu Picchu. Machu Picchu is unbelievable. How do they move four ton stones back in the 14th century? There is a train that goes to the citadel from Cusco, and it is a beautiful ride.

The Spanish conquistadors conquered Mexico and much of South America.

When they invaded Peru, they forced the people to learn Spanish and join the Catholic Church, which most of Peru did. But not Cusco. Because of their elevation, they were able to fight off the Spaniards.

To this day, they have their

own language and religion.

Our granddaughter, Teah, was doing one of her rotations in Lima, and she was our guide. Teah treated us to a traditional Cusco dinner. When it came, it was a roasted guinea pig. I did try some, but Teah ate most of it. When you enter some of the homes in Cusco, they have a lot of guinea pigs running around. They aren’t pets; they are Sunday dinner.

Cusco is a beautiful place for a temple; it is about as close to heaven in a city as you can get.

Save your money and take in that part of the world.

The beauty and the history is really something.

Stay safe while we are away.

O bituaries Kenny Wells 1961 - 2022

HANKSVILLE - William Kenneth Wells, age 61, devoted husband to Rhonda Jo Wells, loving father to seven children, and grateful grandpa to twenty grandchildren, passed away April 21, 2022 at his home in Hanksville. Kenny’s life took him to many places. His first stop was Green River, Utah, where he was born on March 13, 1961, to William Lavar and Susan May Owen Wells. He attended Wayne High School, where a redhead caught his eye. He knew at the age of 15 that he wanted to marry Rhonda Jo Sellers, and that was exactly what he did. One of the happiest days in Kenny’s life was when he took his bride to the Manti Temple in 1987, and they started their journey of eternity together. Their union is one of unmatched teamwork, which was highlighted during their service mission working in the Addiction Recovery Program. They celebrated forty-one beautiful years of marriage together.

Kenny had a very creative, visionary mind. It seemed like when it came to tackling projects, he was fearless! He didn’t worry about the mistakes that would be made, instead he pressed forward, knowing he could figure it out and learn many lessons for the next project. He loved exploring, learning, and doing.

Family outings and togetherness were always priority number one. They were filled with laughter, good food, and life lessons. Many of his life lessons included him sharing his love of the Lord with his children; there was no doubt he had a testimony of his Savior. Kenny was a hard worker, to the max!

He had a drive that never quit. His many jobs took him all over the country, so much so, that his seven children (excluding the twins) were all born in different places.

Kenny had a devotion to service. It was a cornerstone of his character. Many of his beloved family outings were devoted to helping his community. He was a quiet helper; he preferred to work behind the scenes, but his efforts always had a huge impact.

He is laughing and reconnecting with his father, William Lavar Wells. In addition to his father, his welcoming party included his son, Aaron Tyler Wells and his daughter-in-law, Camrie Madison Wells.

If you knew Kenny, you also knew his kids: Tara (Justin) Deem, Ryan (Carrie) Wells, Tracy Wells, Eric (Kaylee) Wells, Adam Wells, and Jenny Wells. These were his favorite people to make memories with. We will do our darndest to honor his name, by striving to be fearless in doing the right thing.

He is also survived by his mother, Susan Wells of Hanksville; and siblings: Sharon Jeanette Shafer (Gary) of Kirkland, Arizona; Brenda Dawn Maughan (Bret) of Beaverdam, Utah; Clinton Aurther (Amy) of Santaquin, Utah; Caleb Lavar (Stacey) of Williston, North Dakota; and Charity Susan Jackson (Jared) of Hanksville.

Funeral services will be held Friday, April 29, 2022 at 12:00 P.M. in the Hanksville LDS Ward Chapel, where friends may call for viewing Friday morning from 10:00 to 11:30 prior to the services.

Burial will be in the Hanksville Cemetery under the care of the Springer Turner Funeral Home of Richfield and Salina, Utah.

There will be a celebration of life in true Kenny style at his airplane hanger in Hanksville at 6 P.M on Friday, April 29th. Donations can be made through venmo @ Rhondawells On line guest book at: www.springerturner.com

Wild Rabbit: We decided not to expand [Wild Rabbit] before, because the value

of your product drops if you move too fast. This opportunity was too hard to resist.

—Beth Deem Rumsey, owner of Wild Rabbit Cafe

Jillian Fahey

The Wild Rabbit Cafe has opened a new extension at the Snuggle Inn in Loa, Utah. Open from 7 a.m. to 2p.m., the extension will serve breakfast and lunch and will offer a variety of food items and drinks.

will serve as the in-house café for guests staying at the Snuggle Inn. “We have a lot of customers that come here after hours, needing to be fed,” said hotel owner, Ryan Davis. “We like the food (in Torrey) and we love Beth and Larry. Their food is good and healthy,” he added, noting that this is what a lot of travelers want. Some

of the people staying in the Snuggle Inn could not get up without their morning coffee and will be happy to enjoy the Wild Rabbit’s excellent brews.

Coffee is one of many drink selections served at the Wild Rabbit, which also offers hot chocolate, several teas, and four kinds of fruit smoothies. But yes, they have many varieties of specialty coffees, and customers can request their own perfect combination.

Of the twenty drinks offered, sixteen can come either hot or cold, and there are fifteen different syrups to add unique flavors. Five different kinds of milk offer even more variety.

Wild Rabbit also offers cooked-to-order food, with a breakfast including grilled sandwiches, breakfast burritos and avocado toast. After breakfast closes at 10:30am, a lunch menu includes chicken pesto panini, BLTs, and club sandwiches.

Fresh pastries are available throughout the day. Their choices change frequently, so stop by to see what they have that day. Favorites include chocolate eclairs, brownies, blueberry scones and biscuits —served plain or as a sausage and egg sandwich.

Ryan Davis feels that the Wild Rabbit will be a great asset for his guests. “It is a lot more appealing to go to a hotel with a restaurant.” A win-win opportunity for both owners, good timing has also been a factor. Rumsey adds, “We decided not to expand [Wild

Rabbit] before, because the value of your product drops if you move too fast. This opportunity was too hard to resist.”

Officially opened on Friday, April 15, the Wild Rabbit in Loa is falling into a groove.

When asked what she wanted customers most to know about the new venue, Rumsey said, “I really want them to be driven here for good coffee, locally sourced food, and an elevated experience.” For Ryan Davis, he says that the café will help with enticing people to stop in and appreciate what the Snuggle Inn has to offer.

“What I’ve heard a ton of, is people drive by here and think it’s a retail building. Some people haven’t even come into the lobby to see what it’s like.”

Ryan and Cynthia Davis and Beth Rumsey’s fantastic personalities have created a welcoming space with delicious food that will be a benefit to the community.

The Snuggle Inn is at 55 South Main Street, Loa, Utah 84747. Come and try the Wild Rabbit’s food for yourself.

on Main Street, so the project will have a clear field. A new school zone sign is also being ordered to put up on Main Street.

After that, Commissioner Dennis Blackburn, Steve Lutz, and Jeanie Webster represented the Fire District in the continued discussions of leasing the Loa Fire Department. After silent review

of the updated lease agreement, they discussed the finer points. In the end, it was decided that Mayor Grundy and Commissioner Blackburn will go through the firehouse to list the items consisting of the agreement.

Following that discussion, the council signed and agreed to pay bills, approved the March minutes, and approved the financial report.

Speaking of the General Plan for Planing and Zoning, coun-

cilmember Chris Olsen said, “It’s a great plan.” To which councilmember Don Bone replied, “We’ll do it again five years from now.” It was passed as well.

The council then discussed what advertisement to place in the paper for a part time secretary to help Michelle Brian. Moving on to the letter that will be mailed to the town, which includes details on small water tanks. Having them installed will become

Public Lands: Utah is about the fastest growing state in the

U.S., so let’s make sensible solutions to our land management issues to keep Utah a great place to live!—Norman McKee Public Lands

Cont'd from page 1

Lee, has stated on several occasions that most of the USFS and BLM lands should be privatized and made into farms and towns throughout Utah. He has stated that we have too much public land and should be more like private land states in the mid and eastern U.S. Really? With very little water and a lot of mountains, we are to be like Iowa or Tennessee? Folks that are somewhat acquainted with Mike, have said that he has never had much of an outdoor life. Camping, hunting, fishing and hiking in Utah’s outdoors have never been an important part of his life.

So, Senator Lee’s latest proposal is to privatize some BLM lands around several cities for future development.

As Utah continues to grow, yes, this may become necessary. However, there is a much better way to handle this situation.

Let’s do all we can to keep as much of Utah’s lands

public as possible. For good or bad, the greatest driving force in Utah’s growth and prosperity is our access to public lands. Most of the people that are moving to Utah come because of the nearby access to our beautiful outdoors.

The Utah State Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA) manages several million acres in Utah. These lands were originally designated to assist in the support of our school systems. They are not considered public lands.

Even now, to access many of these lands for hunting, fishing, hiking, or camping, a significant chunk of your hunting/fishing license fees are given to SITLA to provide for your access to their lands.

As it stands now, SITLA sells their isolated land parcels within large areas of BLM lands very often without consideration of the effect that the land sales might have on the management and use of adjacent public BLM lands.

This has caused big problems throughout the state in management of wildlife, livestock,

road access to adjacent public lands, wildfire control, and water usage.

So, the sensible solution to Senator Lee’s proposal to sell BLM lands for development near Utah’s growing cities is to instead TRADE THEM! Yes, do not sell the needed BLM lands. Trade the required lands for parcels of SITLA lands interspersed within BLM lands throughout the state. Then, SITLA can sell those lands next to the cities where needed.

Because of the large expanses of accessible public lands in Garfield, Kane, Wayne, Piute and many other counties in Utah, they certainly have become special places to visit, live and prosper in.

Utah is about the fastest growing state in the U.S., so let’s make sensible solutions to our land management issues to keep Utah a great place to live!

Gloria Lemmon 1938 - 2022

BICKNELL - Our loving mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, Gloria Giles Lemmon, age 83, passed away April 21, 2022 in Price, Utah. She was born June 1, 1938 in Salt Lake City, a daughter of Henry Ellett and Jessie Heaps Giles. Gloria was the oldest of 3 children and grew up in Bicknell, Utah. She graduated from Wayne High School.

Gloria married Vanor Okerlund September 4, 1956 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple and later divorced. She married Lee Lemmon May 18, 1980 and later divorced. She was blessed with 5 children, 8 grandchildren and 19 greatgrandchildren.

She is an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints and passionately served a mission to Sydney, Australia in 1998.

Gloria enjoyed her employment as mine secretary, transport for Aspen Achievement Academy and clerk at Royal's Market. She loved spending time with her family, gardening, canning, sewing and beading earrings. She especially enjoyed driving the country dirt roads, the county streets, and pretty much any road she could get her car down.

Gloria possessed the qualities of an independent, strong and compassionate person that allowed her to continue loving, serving and living life to the fullest no matter what trials life threw at her. She loved unconditionally, was devoted to the service of others and was always willing to give the shirt off her back or her last dollar to whoever needed it.

Gloria is survived by her children: Randy H. Okerlund, Lynda (Joe) Brown, Kerrie (Casey) Alton, Pegie McCourt; bonus son, Brandon (Wendy) Okerlund; sister: Karen Ellett; 8 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Henry and Jessie Giles; son Gary V. Okerlund; brother Robert Giles; brother-inlaw Sheldon Ellett.

The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to the staff at Pinnacle Nursing Home in Price for their dedicated service and compassionate, loving daily care for Gloria.

Graveside services were held on Tuesday, April 26, 2022 at 12 Noon in the Bicknell Cemetery. Friends called for viewing at the Thurber LDS Ward Chapel in Bicknell, Tuesday morning from 10:30 to 11:30 prior to the services.

Burial was in the Bicknell Cemetery under the care of the Springer Turner Funeral Home of Richfield and Salina, Utah.

Graphics Created with SkySafariAstronomy.com

The moon is near the star cluster M35 on the 4th (right) and the Beehive Star Cluster (left) on the 7th. Both show a 5° circle, which is approximately what you would see with 10X binoculars.

The planetary action continues to be in the morning sky where, from left to right (or east to west) strung in a line are Venus, Jupiter, Mars, and Saturn, although, they’re no longer equally-spaced as they were last week. Brilliant Venus and Jupiter—the two brightest planets—are especially close on the morning of the 2nd, when they’re separated by a scant 1½° and are a wonderful sight in binoculars. Venus is moving eastward away from Jupiter, which is relatively stationary against the background stars, and on the next morning, they’re separated by 2½°.

The gap increases daily and is 7° on the 8th, when you’ll no longer see them together in binoculars. Look about an hour before sunrise.

Venus is on the far side of its orbit and is moving around the sun, slowly leaving the morning sky. It won’t be in line with and behind the sun until the end of October, but it slowly becomes progressively lower and harder to see between now and then, and in practice, we’ll last see it in August.

Mars and Saturn are much fainter, although, still as bright as the brightest stars, and they’re to the upper right of Jupiter and Venus. Mars orbits the sun far faster than Saturn, so it’s leaving Saturn behind, and the gap between them will only continue to increase all year.

Elsewhere, Mercury is very low in the west-northwest in evening twilight for the first few days of May. You might see it 45 minutes or so after sunset, when it will have an altitude of no more than 8°, so a flat horizon is essential. Binoculars are essential too. On the 2nd, Mercury is 5° to the lower right of the extremely thin crescent moon, at the 5 o’clock position from the moon. The Pleiades Star Cluster is farther to the lower right of Mercury, but you’re not likely to see it with the sky so bright. The bright star to the left of the moon is Aldebaran in Taurus.

The moon passes close to two bright star clusters this week, which are M35 in Gemini on the 4th, when they’re only 2° apart, and the Beehive Cluster in Cancer on the 7th,

when they’re 3½° apart, and on both occasions, you’ll see the moon and cluster together in any binoculars. The Beehive should be the state star cluster of Utah, but there’s no such thing. Google can give you the particulars on the star clusters.

And on the 6th, the moon is in line with Castor and Pollux, the heads of the Gemini twins; Pollux is closest to the moon which is less than 3° distant. Castor is an additional 4½° to the right.

The Eta Aquarid Meteor Shower peaks on the morning of the 6th, when you might see up to a dozen swift meteors an hour coming from the east.

Stay tuned for a partial eclipse of the moon on the night of May 15th.
