Wayne Community Health Center Spearheads Utah’s First TelePharmacy, Serving Green River Medical Center services to Green River jelled for him at last year’s Utah Pharmacists Association conference.

“I was able to see the package they were offering,” said Smith. “I thought some of the rural communities in Utah could use this. And we had already been talking about how we could serve Green River.”

This is the first time that a retail telepharmacy is being introduced in the state of Utah.

“There are other states that are utilizing this model, and we are the first ones to actually do this here,” said Smith.

“We had a pharmacy service of sorts,” says Paula Dunham, director of the Green River Medical Center. She says that GRMC first started working with Smith in 2017 when she asked him to INsIder conduct an audit on their WCHC pharmacist Zack Taylor, with a patient at Green River pharmacy program.

REGIONAL WEATHER FORECAST FOR SOME BUT NOT ALL REGIONS REPRESENTED IN OUR NEWSPAPER COVERAGE AREA

THURS. MAY 9 - WED. MAY 15

Rain and cooler temperatures return this Mother's Day week, with higher rain chances every day except Monday and Wednesday, 100% on Thursday. Highs start off in the 50s, rising to the 60s by next week; lows in the 30s and low 40s.

Several far-left radical groups are again trying to stop restoration efforts on the Grand Staircase/Escalante National Monument (GSENM).

A recent newspaper article indicated that the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance (SUWA) and the Utah Wild Project, along with some others, had appealed a restoration project approved by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

This battle has been going on for years, ever since the designation of the Monument in 1996, and the organizing of SUWA. It seems that SUWA mostly supports itself by nationally creating controversy with any management project that might affect wilderness type lands, whether the issue they publicize is valid or not.

Unfortunately, many people across the country who greatly value these public lands, but don’t have the personal expe-

rience of being familiar with specific lands or management issues, monetarily support these organizations, such as SUWA. Contrary to these groups false information, the GSENM Management Plan designated that large areas on the Monument were to be restored to their original historical, healthy landscapes, as best as possible. Many of these areas were heavily overgrazed by livestock for decades until the Taylor Grazing Act was approved by Congress in 1934, that somewhat specified how federal grazing lands were to be used and managed.

The GSENM Management Plan was also somewhat specific in naming how these lands were to be restored and managed as a showcase example of how Western arid Op-ed

craft or folk art hold a unique place in American history.

These fabric creations are both a form of art and a tool for storytelling. Quilts are visual snapshots representing the time and place they were made. Like a diary, they’re also personal artifacts reflecting the unique history of women in Wayne County, Utah, and America.

Historically, a Quilting Bee was both a practical and social function involving a group of women who met to finish quilts. Generally, the winter was spent piecing quilt

tops. The bee was then held for finishing and fine needlework. Participants lacking expert needlework skills were relegated to the kitchen. Children often played under the quilt frame. These meetings were often followed by dinner and a dance or other type of social event that included husbands and children.

Quilts were traditional used as bed coverings. However today, the techniques are applied to a wide range Quilts and Quilting Cont'd on page 2

Utah Consumers Less Optimistic About Future Economy, Still Planning to Make Major Purchases SALT LAKE CITY - The Zions Bank Utah Consumer Attitude Index (CAI) decreased 10.2 points to 112.3 in April, the lowest level since June 2018. The year-overyear CAI ticked down slightly by 1.8 points. In comparison, the national Consumer Confidence Index® increased 5.0 points to 129.2 this month.

The Utah Present Situation Index dropped 8.5 points to 125.9 in April, with more Utahns feeling that business

conditions are “normal” instead of “good.” Generally, Utahns see the current economic situation as more tempered compared to perceptions in March.

lands could be responsibly restored to productivity, and then how they were to be used. Watershed and wildlife habitats, along with the health of the various areas for all native plants and animals were the critical issues. Yes, livestock use and grazing would continue in appropriate areas with responsible management.

The fallacy that the large expanses of Pinon Pine and Utah Juniper (P/J) trees have always existed is total nonsense! Anyone ought to wonder how dead sagebrush plants could exist under P/J trees, in hundreds of thousands of acres, which SUWA says was always inhabited by mature P/J trees. Old photos of the West, clearly show that in many areas, that were once open sagebrush grasslands, are now entirely inhabited by the invasive P/J trees. Several highly recognized botanists have clearly stated that the P/J tree encroachment in much of our Great Basin, and surrounding rangelands, is nearly 10 times what it was in Utah Consumers Cont'd from page 1

age of Utahns who expect business conditions to be the same in six months increased 5% to 68%.

Even as sentiment has tempered, Utahns remain more optimistic than pessimistic about the future. The vast majority — 93% — of Utahns feel that business conditions will either improve or remain the same over the next six months, while only 7% feel they will get worse, and 95% feel that job availability will either remain the same or improve over today’s historically low levels of unemployment.

the 1870’s. I have seen great changes in my 51 years working in the outdoors of Southern Utah.

Much has been done to restore, as best as possible, many acres in the West to more healthy landscapes. Utah has been a leader in this process.

In recent years, most of this work has been done with mechanical equipment, such as the bull-hog masticator. Even so, within 10-15 years after a good planned project is completed, the area is very natural again, without any scars from the project work. Those areas identified as historical natural areas of P/J trees are not included in restoration projects, because they are already natural in their plant species.

Also, before any project is approved, an extensive search of the proposed area is done to protect archeological and paleontological resources.

No doubt, some areas need to be designated as Wilderness Areas, not just Wilderness Study Areas, as they have been for so many years.

Congress should make some sensible consensus decisions on what is real wilderness, and what should remain to be

managed as healthy, usable public lands.

There have been many acres on the GSENM that have been project treated, especially east of Kanab towards the Paria River area. However, a lot more needs to be done, including the presently approved projects. It can’t be accomplished by prescribed fires in most P/J areas because the invasive exotic cheatgrass would likely invade and prevent the native grasses and forbs from establishing as planned. Mastication of the P/J trees is the best plan for treatment on the GSENM, not anchor chaining. The mass of weed-chips help to prepare the ground for the native grasses and forb seeds that are aerial seeded on the project site.

The approved project, that is currently being appealed, is adjacent to a similar project on non-Monument BLM lands that was done several years ago. Already, several American Pronghorns and some Greater Sage Grouse have been observed. As a former state wildlife biologist for this area, this is very exciting!

The stiff opposition by SUWA, and others, to sensible

management of the GSENM lands has been the main reason for the push-back to totally get rid of the Monument, or at least to make serious cutbacks, as has recently been done I have worked on wildlife projects, in some form, for 53 years, 51 of those include many areas on the GSENM. For SUWA to say that trained wildlife and land management biologists don’t know what they are doing is baloney twice over! Where did SUWA’s personnel, such as attorney Kya Marienfeld, get all their wildlife and land management knowledge, and on the ground experience?

Let’s get the politics out of this issue! Let the trained field biologists and land managers make some sensible decisions and get something done!

Self-serving radical interests on both ends of the spectrum do not have the best answers for management of our public lands.

Norman McKee is a retired wildlife biologist with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. He is a resident of Panguitch.

“Utahns are still very confident in the economy,” said Scott Anderson, Zions Bank president and CEO. “Even with a slight decline in people who feel positively about business conditions, it’s clear that Utah’s economy is still one of the best in the country.”

Utahns are also more likely to purchase a major household item in the near future. One third (34%) of Utahns feel it is likely they will purchase items like furniture, appliances, or a television, the highest percentage recorded since Zions Bank and Cicero Group began tracking consumer attitudes in Utah in November 2011. Sim-

ilarly, 67% of homeowners in Utah feel it is likely they will make some form of home improvements in 2019.

“Many Utahns are planning to invest in their homes because they are confident in their economic position,” said Randy Shumway, chairman and partner of Cicero Group.

“Although Utah has some of the highest home values in the U.S., Utah also has the eighth highest proportion of homeowners in the country at 70%.

This puts Utah in a unique place where a large proportion of residents feel that the environment is worth long-term investment.”

Zions Bank provides the CAI as a free resource to the

communities of Utah. The monthly CAI summary reports are released at a monthly press conference, coinciding with The Conference Board’s national CCI release date.

Analysis and data collection for the CAI are done by Cicero Group, a premier management consulting firm focused on implementing data-driven strategies for a broad mix of private, public, and social sector organizations across the globe. The May CAI will be released during a press conference at a local business at 10:30 a.m. on May 28.

Spring at Bryce Canyon National Park means that their free shuttles will be up and running, extended hours starting in May.

at the Green River Medical Center Pharmacy.

“Being able to read an individual’s body language increases the value of communication tenfold,” said Donavan Smith. “We meet with the patient as well as the technician. They have an iPad that has a little handset and they can talk confidentially to the pharmacist in Bicknell and we communicate to them through a Bluetooth earpiece so it’s just like an in-person setting.”

From a patient’s standpoint Green River will now have a full-fledged pharmacy.

The difference is it is staffed by their pharmacy technician, who communicates with the pharmacist via video link. WCHC pharmacists can check potential drug interactions remotely and approve the prescription for dispensation by the GRMC pharmacy technician.

A plus for both clinic locations is that the new partnership has allowed WCHC to hire an additional pharmacist. “They get a pharmacy and WCHC gets a pharmacist,” said Smith.

Wayne County native Zack Taylor has been hired to fill the role. Having received his pharmacy degree he is

now able to offer his skills at home, and serves as a liaison for the GRMC Pharmacy program.

Green River Medical Center is considered a frontier health center, but being located on I-70 it is also considered a travel hub. It is fifty-five miles from the nearest other medical facility, and serves as an important location for providing care, seeing 1,284 patient per year with about 4,500 annual patient encounters.

Twenty per cent of our users are transient travelers to the area. We offer medical, dental and behavioral health services,” said Dunham.

“Our problem was the pharmaceutical end. It was a minimum two hours round trip to get prescriptions,” said Dunham.

“If we had a traveler in Goblin Valley with an emergency, first they’d have to get here and then an additional two hours to pick up a prescription. So getting needed medicines was difficult for travelers and residents, and especially for our senior citizens. For people working two or three jobs it was hard to find time and gas money to take the trip,” said Dunham.

Dunham describes the new program as, “A huge change in thinking.”

“Donavan has quite the reputation,” says Dunham about Smith, who has served as WCHC’s pharmacist for fourteen years. “He’s pretty brilliant. He has interns doing rotations as part of their degree program. He’s engaged with education for 340B funding to make prescriptions affordable to people who can’t afford them. His reputation is well deserved—he’s demonstrated forward thinking in pharmacy affairs across the state of Utah, with great ideas about how to make pharmacy services available in a reasonable way in a rural setting.”

“I am really grateful to [WCHC CEO] Evan Christansen and Donavan Smith,” said

Money Tips for Students

What Students Need to Know About Interest Rates

by TIm BaLLard

UTAH - Students need to learn some basic facts about interest rates so they can make good choices when it comes to borrowing and investing, according to KHEAA. One interest rate is simple, or nominal, interest. It’s straightforward. If you borrow $1,000 at 5 percent simple interest per year, you’ll pay back $1,050. If you deposit $10,000 in your savings account at 3 percent interest per year, you’ll have $10,300 in your account at the end of the year.

After that, though, it can get more complicated.

Let’s say you take out a $100,000 mortgage at 5 percent. However, you have to pay $5,000 in closing costs, which are added to the amount of the mortgage. That means you’ll be paying interest on $105,000. Your total interest costs are $5,250. That means you’re paying an annual percentage rate (APR) of 5.25 percent. Lenders are required to disclose the APR on any loans you take out.

On the savings side, let’s say you invest $10,000 at a 3 percent compound interest rate. With compound interest, you earn interest on the interest you’ve already earned.

At the end of the year, you’ll have $10,304.16 in your savings account.

KHEAA is a public, nonprofit agency established in 1966 to improve students’ access to college. It provides information about financial aid and financial literacy at no cost to students and parents.

KHEAA also helps colleges manage their student loan default rates and verify information submitted on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). To learn more about those services, visit www.kheaa.com.

Wills, Trusts, and More

Some Trust Disputes Cost More Than Probate

t H e

Trust disputes can have different causes. A trustee may decide to pay himself a high fee, or may distribute trust property in a way that conflicts with the trust instructions. A beneficiary may want more money distributed, or may object that the trustee's investment strategy is too risky (or too conservative). Or a trustee may conceal information, so beneficiaries worry about possible mismanagement or theft.

There are many problems that can arise from trust administration. Adult children are often concerned about the management of a "living trust" by a step-parent after a parent has died. The children are concerned, yet they are uncomfortable insisting that the step-parent provide information, especially if the stepparent is entitled to all income during his or her lifetime. The result may be resentment, alienation, and a loss of family harmony.

Many problems can be avoided by making sure all family members understand their rights and receive adequate information about the trust's management. Ideally, information should be shared before either parent dies.

If the beneficiaries are well-informed, they can more easily express any concerns about the trust's administration to the trustee, who can then act quickly to address those concerns properly with-

For several years, I had been trying to convince my husband that he should do more cardiovascular exercise.

One day, he announced that he was going golfing at our local course and that he was going to walk instead of riding in a cart. I thought this was a good start to getting in shape and that my nagging was finally paying off.

When he came back, he walked into the house moaning and groaning over how much his back and his legs hurt.

"What does that tell you?" I asked.

He replied, "It tells me I should have taken the cart!"

Shoe Store

A guy walks into a shoe store and asks for a pair of size 8 tie shoes. The salesman says, "But, sir, I can see from up here you're at least a size 11." The guy says, "Just bring me a size 8 tie shoe."

The salesman brings them, the guy stuffs his feet into them, ties them tight, and then he stands up, obviously in pain.

The salesman just has to ask, "Sir, why must you have these undersized shoes?"

He says to the salesman, "I lost my business and my house, I live with my motherin-law. The only pleasure I have in life is taking off these shoes."

Patient

My nursing colleague was preparing an intravenous line for a 15-year-old male patient. The bedside phone rang, and the boy's mother reached over to pick it up.

After talking for a few minutes, the mother held the phone aside and said, "Your father wants to know if you have any cute nurses."

The boy gazed at the nurse, who had the needle poised above his arm, ready for insertion. "Tell him," he replied, "they're absolutely gorgeous."

I had never been so zonked in my life.

After my first child, Amy, was born, my mother came to stay with me for a few weeks to help out, but I still woke up whenever the baby made the slightest sound during the night.

One morning, I groggily asked my mom, "How long before I stop hearing every noise Amy makes?" Mom was obviously only half-listening. "Honey, are you coming down with something?" she asked. "You were coughing in your sleep."

Exercise

by Jeffery J. mcKeNNa Many people use trusts to achieve specific estate planning goals. Such trusts are designed to save money by avoiding probate fees and delays, and by deferring or reducing estate taxes.

For example, a revocable "living trust" can avoid the cost and delays associated with probate. A will or living trust may also create a separate trust when one spouse dies, in order to shield up a significant portion of the estate from later estate taxes.

Such trusts are designed to save money by avoiding probate fees and delays, and by deferring or reducing estate taxes.

But if there are disputes about the management of the trust, litigation can be very expensive. Trust litigation may also take longer than probate to uncover mismanagement or theft, thus reducing the odds of recovering lost property.

Normally, a trustee (the person administering the trust) is not subject to court supervision. However, a trustee or beneficiary may initiate a court action. The court can compel the trustee to account for the trust's assets and income, or to change investment and distribution policies to conform to the trust's instructions. In some circumstances, a court can replace the trustee, dissolve the trust, or make other changes to resolve problems.

I guess the boss pirates would not go for dirt in Conetiquette. Not very much!

Donna Johnson

PANGUITCH - Our beloved mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother, sister, aunt and friend, Donna Mae Johnson 86, passed away peacefully in Panguitch, Utah on April 30, 2019.

She was born July 16, 1932 in Panguitch and was lovingly welcomed by her parents, Lawrence and Hazel Orton. She married the love of her life, Carl E. Johnson on July 28, 1952. He adored everything about her. Their marriage was sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake City Temple on June 28, 1961. Carl was tragically taken from her when she was only 25 years old, a young mother of three children and expecting her fourth.

Donna was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many different callings. She loved attending the temple regularly until her health prevented her from going.

Some of her hobbies were reading, especially the scriptures, embroidering, playing the harmonica and walking.

Donna worked at the Panguitch Elementary School as a lunch lady and later as a teacher’s aide. She always had a special place in her heart for children, and enjoyed working with and teaching them. She also worked at Zions Bank for many years, where she was a respected employee.

Donna was a great example to everyone, especially her family. She was a wonderful mother, aunt and grandma. Her love for her family was priceless. She loved spending quality time with her grandchildren, nieces and nephews, playing dolls, dress up, grocery store, Schwan’s delivery, and turning her desk into a bank. She would take the boys fishing at Penny’s Pond but would sit in her car reading her scriptures while the boys fished. They all loved her dearly and knew she loved them.

Donna had a close connection to her sister-in-law, Alta Orton. They spent many days riding around town together, and enjoyed countless hours visiting at Alta’s house with Betty Cooper and Kathy Goulding.

Her love for her family was unconditional and endless. She conveyed it through her actions and Christ-like love that she had for everyone. Through the challenges of raising 4 children and among other trials, her love and testimony of her Heavenly Father and Savior remained faithful, she enjoyed serving those around her. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Donna is survived by her children: Tommy (Debbie) Johnson, Ely, NV; Debbie Robinson, Washington, UT; Jimmy (Tammy) Johnson, Panguitch; Carl (Diane) Johnson, Monroe; 15 grandchildren, 33 great-grandchildren. Brothers: Gary Orton, Bob (Barbara) Orton; sister-in-law, Alta Orton.

She is preceded in death by her parents; husband; granddaughter, Crystal Robinson; daughter-in-law, Cindy Breinholt; brothers: Don L. Orton, Brent (JoAnn) Orton; sister-in-law, Colleen M. Orton.

The family would like to express their love and appreciation to the staff at Garfield Memorial Care Center who took such wonderful care of Donna.

Funeral services were held Monday May 6, 2019 at 12:00 Noon in the Panguitch 2nd Ward Chapel, 190 North 400 East.

Viewing was held from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. in the ward chapel.

Burial was in the Panguitch City Cemetery. Funeral Directors: Magleby Mortuary, Richfield, Salina and Manti. Online guestbook at www.maglebymortuary.com

FYI PanguItch

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com It is that time of the year, 72,000 students graduated with a College degree this last week in Utah. Panguitch also had its share, with the Bennett brother and sister graduating from SUU. Dalan and Taylor received their degrees, and Dalan also received his commission as 2nd Lieutenant in the National Guard. As high school students, both were scholar athletes. With Dalan’s strong pitching arm, the Cats won three straight Championships in baseball. Who can forget Taylor’s moon shot three pointers that also led to State Championships in basketball?

Two of our Teachers also received their Masters from SUU after a lot of hard work. Lisa Breinholt and Amy Fullmer both got their degree in Administration. Lisa and Amy teach at our Middle School. Teaching is a neverending process of learning and keeping up with the new skills.

How about that last storm? Snow and rain, and quite a bit of it in a really short period of time? This really gave the rain gauge a boost for the month of April.

It looks like we will have a new storm coming again this week. I have had to mow our lawn twice now.

Pat and I went up the Lake Road on our way over to Cedar City. I wanted to see what was happening with the lake. Oh my! It is full, really full, and by this publication it will be over the dam.

This hasn’t happened since they drained the lake to repair the dam, what, 10 years ago? This should make the hay growers happy, I see them already watering. Maybe they will get three crops this year.

We went on over the Mammoth road to Hwy. 14. While most of our snow is gone, it is still very deep on that side to the mountain. Navajo Lake is still frozen. I can’t remember when that lake was full. Maybe, just maybe, it will rise up again and be one of the more beautiful sights in our area.

They have a new security system at the High School.

The school will be closed to all but the teachers after 3:00 pm. The gym will only be open from 3:00 am to 7:30 am. They have raised the rate to work out at that time to $50 dollars. If you are late to school, the doors are locked at 8:00 am. yYou have to buzz the secretary to get in. There are cameras at each door, so that she can see who is there.

If you have business with the school, you have to buzz to get in. The coaches will have cards for the gym, which only work during their team's schedule season. The first day of the new system, the power went out for six hours and that shut the system down. I probably don’t have all the facts completely right, but that is the idea on how things work.

Next Sunday is Mother’s day, so treat your mother or wife to a day out.

The next day, they are looking for couples to go over to the Cedar City Temple to help out on the cleaning of the grounds. They need 20 couples for this work. However, I was there this last Saturday, and the tulips were really beautiful.

On Sunday the 19th will be the Business Women Senior Tea at the High School, and it will begin at 3:00 pm. It will be followed by the Seminary Graduation that will be at the Stake Center and will start at 6:00 pm.

On June 4th, there will be a blood drive at the Stake Center, and it will start at 1:00.

Walk-ins are always welcome.

2020 will be the year that costs for Social Security are expected to exceed its income for the first time since 1982.

This will compel the program to dip into its $3 trillion trust fund to cover benefits. The trust fund is expected to run out by 2035. After that, recipients will get only three-quarters of their scheduled benefits. This problem could be fixed, but I doubt that it will ever happen. Those who earn more than $125,000 stop pay-

ing into the system. They are the ones who own our government, so don’t expect any changes.

I feel that the problem with the system started back in the 1970s. They mixed the Social Security monies with the general fund, and the three trillion trust fund is money that is in the National debt. In California, the City that I worked for, joined the California Retirement system in that same period of time.

There was about 17 billion in the system at that time. Now after 40 years, there is $350 billion in the system. They invest in the market, housing and businesses in California.

The output for the retirees last year was 16 billion. With all of the ups and downs in California, if that money wasn’t separated, it would have been long gone.

Measles, a completely preventable viral disease was declared eradicated in 2000, but is making a comeback, with over 700 cases reported since the first of the year. This highly contagious virus can cause fatal complications such as pneumonia and encephalitis among young children and the elderly. Utah has not been effected so far, but it is only a matter of time. Washington, Idaho, Nevada and

Colorado are all reporting outbreaks. Utah has a lot of anti-vaccination parents, but these vaccines have stopped the outbreak of measles and small pox. Measles is a fast spreading disease, and many schools throughtout the country have been closed for thirty days. Even a ship belonging to the Scientology Religion, with 300 passengers on board, was held up because one of the passengers was detected with the virus. If your children haven’t been vaccinated, you need to get it done as soon as possible. How about yourself?

Living in a different world; Saudi Arabia beheaded 37 people convicted of terrorism-related offenses this week. Thirty four were minority Shiites, in the largest mass execution of Shiites, in the majority-Sunni kingdom’s history. Three of them were minors.

North Korea reportedly executed four top officials, whom Dictator Kim Jong Un faulted for the failure of his second summit with our President.

BRYCE CANYON Virtual reality is arriving at Ruby’s Inn to kick off the summer season. Starting Memorial Day weekend, Innovation Entertainment’s VR motion rides will be open for guests, giving them a highflying view of Utah’s majestic landscape without ever leaving the ground.

Innovation Entertainment, a home-grown VR company run by Daniel Thompson and his wife, Amber Thompson, has partnered with the historic Ruby’s Inn to create a permanent home for their VR experiences.

For the ride, participants don VR headsets and take a seat in a fully-operational motion simulator, which is synchronized with the sounds and visuals to give the sensation that they’re actually flying above—or through—the locations. With the VR technology, participants are able to freely look all around them and see these stunning sights as though they were actually there.

“We are very excited to add this new experience to our slate of offerings and feel like it’s a perfect fit,” said Lance Syrett, general manager of Ruby’s Inn. “We realize that most people visit us because we are the closest lodging and services to Bryce Canyon National Park, but we hope that adding even more things to do like ‘Soaring’ will make Ruby’s Inn a destination all by itself.”

The VR experience will debut at Ruby’s Inn with two rides, “Soaring Southern Utah” and “Montezuma’s Treasure Ride.” Highlighting Utah’s geological wonders, “Soaring Southern Utah” recreates a helicopter ride across the stunning desert landscape and gives a bird’s-eye view of some of the state’s most iconic landmarks. “Montezuma’s Treasure Ride” is an animated, mine-cart thrill ride inspired by the legend of the lost Aztec treasure.

Thompson, the creator and developer of the experiences has long been passionate about robotics and his home state. A Cannonville native, Thompson graduated from Southern Utah University with one bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and another in electrical engineering.

Having spent abundant time hiking through Southern Utah, discovering hidden places only known to locals, Thompson was struck by the realization that many people—even those native to the state—would never get to experience all the beautiful places that the state has to offer. Creating a VR experience to give people that opportunity seemed like the perfect solution.

“Some people worry that experiences like this will discourage others from going out and doing things, but we’ve seen just the opposite,” Thompson said. “People get off the ride and they want to go hike and explore these areas.”

Visitors who want to experience the real thing after stepping out of their virtual tour can find those accommodations at Ruby’s Inn, which offers scenic helicopter and airplane tours of the area, covering Bryce Canyon and the surrounding region, traveling as far as the Grand Canyon.

Ruby’s Inn also offers convenient access to Bryce Canyon and a multitude of trails for hiking, biking, horseback riding and ATVing, making Ruby’s the perfect home for guests to explore Southern Utah.

“We’re interested in giving our guests the full experience,” said Syrett. “We want to make sure that they can see Southern Utah in whatever way they want, whether that’s on foot, horseback, flying through virtual spaces or flying over them for real.”

Why Stress Management Strategies Work- Physical Strategies caLLIe Ward, uTah sTaTe uNIversITy exTeNsIoN assIsTaNT Professor, garfIeLd couNTy

Stress is a universally experienced phenomenon.

Although there are many causes, the methods of managing it are generally the same. Research from varying professionals helps explain how coping strategies work, broken into three categories – physical, mental and social.

Here are the Physical Strategies: PHYSICAL STRATEGIES 1 - Exercise – Research confirms that being physically active leads to physical, mental and emotional benefits, both immediately after and long-term. Exercise can be as successful at decreasing depression as anti-depression

prescriptions, according to University of California Riverside professor and author Sonja Lyubomirsky. Exercise stimulates the release of “feel good” chemicals that help improve mood.

2 - Get adequate and high-quality sleep – Even slight levels of sleep deprivation can affect judgment, memory and mood, according to the American Psychological Association. When you do not get enough sleep, the areas of the brain that experience anxiety and worry are impacted. In addition, while you sleep, your muscles are repaired and your memories are consolidated, preparing you for the next day. Chronic sleep deprivation can lead to obesity and high blood pressure and can cause you to feel

overwhelmed, less motivated and less able to concentrate.

3 - Maintain a healthy diet – The National Center on Health, Physical Activity, and Disability explains that certain nutrients, such as thiamin and folate, help with nervous system function. Deficiencies in these nutrients can lead to irritability, depression and poor concentration, causing stress. In addition, the APA notes that when you overeat or eat unhealthy foods, you will tend to feel sluggish and think negatively about your body, causing more stress.

4 - Hydrate – Stress and dehydration affect each other and produce similar symptoms such as headaches and fatigue. Staying hydrated can help stave these off.

5 - Take breaks – In order to avoid burnout, it is im-

portant to find an outlet that lets you relax and enjoy what you are doing. Taking a vacation, listening to certain types of music, checking email less often and laughing have all been shown to reduce stress levels.

Identify the triggers and develop a plan to help you cope with and make sense of them.

Since stress is part of everyday life, it is important that you learn healthy, effective coping skills. Understanding the reasons for common stress management strategies makes them even more empowering.

As you apply them, your personal well-being and relationships with others are likely to improve.

LOA - Our dear mother, grandmother and great-grandmother was born November 11, 1932 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Gerard Doezie and Ardiena Van Beezoyen Doezie, and passed away peacefully on April 10, 2019 in Loa, Utah.

Growing up in the Salt Lake City avenues, she had a loving home, but life wasn’t easy for them during the depression. She began working days and attended school at West High in the evenings in order to help her family financially. She was able to graduate with her East High class of 1951. Always industrious, she a hard-worker throughout her life. Toni was a gifted cross stitcher and made many beautiful tablecloths and pillow cases. Being left-handed, however, she never learned to crochet like her mother, which she regretted.

Toni met the love of her life, George Arvin Brinkerhoff, at Fishlake, Utah during the summer of 1952. They married June 6, 1953 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Their marriage was later solemized in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. George passed away September 29, 2016 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

During their marriage, she and George took the family in their camper on weekend boating and camping outings most every weekend. They gave their children the best childhoods possible. They took great pride in their yard. By example, they taught their children the importance of hard work, keeping your word, and being on time. The family clock was set ahead five minutes.

After Toni’s retirement working for the Alcohol Beverage Commission, she and her George “enjoyed the life” and spent their time wintering in St. George, Utah and Casa Grande, Arizona, and made many friends. They traveled with the “Temple Riders” motorcycle group throughout the United States, and later served a Service Mission at Welfare Square for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Survivors include: daughters Diena Ann (Michael) Riddle, Bicknell, Utah and Annette (Trent) Bringhurst, Murray, Utah; son George Robert (Tracie) Brinkerhoff, Heber City, Utah; sister Linda Ann Robertson (Robert) Lake, Springville, Virginia; and brother Scott Robert (Susie) Robertson, Scottsdale, Arizona. She leaves behind ten loving grandchildren, and 19 1/2 beautiful great-grandchildren.

She is preceded in death by her husband, George Arvin Brinkerhoff; Parents Ardiena Van Beezoyen Doezie Robertson and Gerard Doezie; step-father Scott Finch Robertson; sister Ardiena Joy Doezie Wadsworth; brothers Gerard David Doezie and Sterling Isaac Robertson.

Graveside services were held on April 13, 2019 at the Bicknell Cemetery, Bicknell, Utah, under the direction of Springer-Turner, Richfield, Utah.

The family wishes to thank Ryan Denison and staff at Serenity Springs/Beehive House (Loa, Utah) for their kindness and dedication to our mother.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to Color Country Animal Welfare (Torrey, Utah) or Serenity Springs/ Beehive House (Loa, Utah) in Toni’s name.

4 Good Places to Watch Birds in Utah This Spring

courTesy uTah dIvIsIoN of WILdLIfe resources

Bird-watching is a great opportunity to get outdoors and see a wide variety of wildlife.

Along with staff and volunteers who can provide information, there are also several field guides and photos to help you identify the various birds you see around the center. Along with the great blue herons, you can also expect to see avocets, geese and sandhill cranes, to name just a few.

"The Eccles Wildlife Education Center is a great place to enjoy all things wild," DWR center coordinator Billy Fenimore said.

The center is open Tuesday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., but visitors can walk the trails even when the center is closed. If you visit the center, do not feed the birds — they have plenty of natural things to eat at the reserve.

Great Salt Lake Bird Festival The 21st annual Great Salt Lake Bird Festival is another great opportunity to see and learn more about birds in Utah. Sponsored by Davis County and hosted at the DWR's Eccles Wildlife Education Center, this event will take place May 16-19 at a variety of locations around the Wasatch Front. The festival will include a myriad of opportunities to see birds, including via a boat tour on the Great Salt Lake and several workshops at ranches and other locations. A photography workshop, art displays and youth activities will also be available.

For more information about the event and to purchase tickets, visit the Great Salt Lake Bird Festival website.

SALT LAKE CITY Spring is here, which means wildlife migrations are in full swing. Bird-watching is a great opportunity to get outdoors and see a wide variety of wildlife — and enjoy the fun challenge of trying to identify them!

Whether you are a birdwatching enthusiast or just like being outside in nature, here are four good spots to celebrate World Migratory Bird Day on Saturday, May 11.

Moab Migratory Bird Day event This event will be hosted

by The Nature Conservancy and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) on May 11 at the Scott M. Matheson Wetlands Preserve in Moab. Participants will have the opportunity to join wildlife biologists and the local bird club as they tour the wetlands and encounter a diverse assortment of migrating birds.

"Wetlands are rare along Utah's portion of the Colorado River, and that makes Moab's wetlands vital habitat for wildlife," said Linda Whitham, central canyonlands program manager at The Nature Conservancy's Moab Project Office. "Migratory Bird Day is an opportunity to learn about and celebrate the diverse wildlife and habitat that southeastern Utah has to offer."

In addition to a guided birding tour, the event will also include stations where visitors can learn about mammals, native fish and aquatic insects. Other fun activities

for families will also be offered. All events are free and open to all ages.

The event will begin at the Kane Creek entrance to the preserve, 934 W. Kane Creek Blvd. in Moab. The birding tour will begin at 8 a.m., and all other activities will begin at 9 a.m. and end at noon. Participants should note that bikes, dogs and other pets are not permitted on the preserve.

While it's free, participants should register for the event online. For more information about the event, contact Linda Whitham at 435259-4214, or Nicole Nielson, restoration biologist for the DWR, at 435-820-0687.

Cedar City Migratory Bird Day event This event will be hosted by the Bureau of Land Management and DWR on May 11 from 7 a.m. to noon at West Canyon Park, 500 E. Center St. in Cedar City. Participants will be able to watch a bird banding demonstration, play games and go on a bird walk, where DWR biologists will provide information about the birds that are seen.

For more information about the event, contact DWR wildlife biologist Keith Day at 435-691-3113.

George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Wildlife Education Center While an official Migratory Bird Day event won't be happening at the DWR's Eccles Wildlife Education Center, located at 1157 S. Waterfowl Way in Farmington, it is a great place to see migrating birds and other waterfowl

year-round. The center has a 1.6-mile nature trail that visitors can stroll along to spot birds and enjoy the wetlands.

DWR staff also offer a guided walk, "Birding on the Boardwalk," each day at 11 a.m. where they point out different bird species and share fun, interesting facts about them.

However, if you don't feel up to walking or the weather isn't good, there are opportunities to see birds from inside the Conservation Hall. It is located right next to a pond, which has a variety of birds, and there are several nesting poles that you can view from inside using spotting scopes.

Currently, there are approximately 24 great blue heron nests on the poles and within the next two weeks, the chicks will be hatching. The herons are large, vocal birds, and nesting season is a particularly fun time to watch them.

CAPITOL REEF - Capitol Reef National Park will be celebrating International Migratory Bird Day on Saturday, May 11, 2019. Many species of migratory birds including several varieties of warblers, sparrows, and raptors find a hospitable stop-over in the Capitol Reef area.

Park biologists will be leading a bird walk from 7:30 am to 10:00 am. The walk meets at the Capitol Reef National Park picnic area parking

lot. Participants should bring binoculars, water, sharp eyes and an interest in birds.

International Migratory Bird Day was created in the 1990’s to foster a greater understanding, appreciation and protection of the phenomena of bird migration. To learn more about it, visit www.birdday.org. More information about Capitol Reef National Park can be found at www. nps.gov/care.

Boulder Council

to ensure that RSTRs would be dispersed throughout town instead of disproportionately impacting one area.

Other commentators felt that the value of the community should come before the economic benefits of RSTRs. Though some commented that they felt the Ordinance violates personal property rights, others voiced that because an RSTR is a commercial operation, the owner must be willing to compromise on their personal property rights as their lot is no longer strictly residential. Another commented that these restrictions are not intended to impose on the property rights of an individual, but rather to protect the property rights of neighbors.

Later in the meeting, the Council discussed the comments received as well as their own thoughts about the RSTR Ordinance. Pete Benson, who serves on both the Town Council and Planning Commission, said that because the impact of RSTRs on Boulder is as yet unknown, it would be better to have more restrictions to begin with and then loosen them later if the impact is deemed minimal.

He considers this Ordinance a

document that can shift based on future assessment of circumstances.

Other Council members voiced their hesitations. These included their belief that it is unfair that there is a fulltime resident requirement for those owning an RSTR, but not for those who own other operations in town such as the Lodge; and that owners should be allowed to rent out their RSTR for as many days as they want, rather than be capped at 182 days per year.

There were also concerns that the restrictions could open the Town up to a lawsuit.

Cox responded to this last concern by assuring that the Town attorney has thoroughly considered the document. The potential for lawsuits is present with any RSTR ordinance, however having the “whereas” clauses in the document, which provide solid reasons that connect back to the General Plan, will help support the Ordinance in case it ever is taken to court.

He went on to describe how the Planning Commission put much research and great effort into the document, and repeatedly provided opportunities for public opinion to be voiced, discussed, and

implemented into the Ordinance. In addition to the formal public hearings, there have been comment periods at each meeting, as well as discussion groups such as the Housing Workgroup last winter and even earlier roundtable discussions.

Cox spoke of the dangers of waiting much longer to pass an Ordinance. He quoted figures from nearby towns, in which growing numbers of dwellings were converted into RSTRs before ordinances were adopted. This number was up to 30% in Escalante, and 10% in Bicknell and Tropic before legislation was passed.

A motion was made to take out the 182-day restriction and accept the Ordinance otherwise as is. Three Town Council members supported this motion, and two did not.

The Ordinance passed.

Also on the agenda for the meeting, Shawn Owen and Andy Rice provided updates on their plans for Sugarloaf Valley Farms. Owen grew up in Boulder, but is not currently a resident. He spoke about his desire to continue ranching on the property, as well as to begin to grow hemp. The hemp will be exported for process-

tions for tourists, so that they wouldn’t have to stay in neighboring towns. Further concerns on this matter included that if the demand is there for more accommodations, a hotel chain could come in to fill the gap if residents are unable to.

Perry Tancredi, a member of the Planning Commission, spoke about reasons behind these restrictions. He said that the major rationale for the 15% cap is to make sure enough long-term rentals remain available. Residents are not precluded from providing long-term rentals, even if they are unable to get a permit for providing shortterm rentals. Responses to this statement included that providing a long-term rental is not as lucrative.

Matt Cochran, another Planning Commissioner, spoke about how the Ordinance lines up with the Town’s General Plan. There is value for people living in Boulder that is not economic, such as the quiet neighborhoods and rural character, he said. He also stated that another reason for the zones was

Red Hills Animal Hospital Expands, New Doctor and Equipment ST. GEORGE - Red Hills prides itself in being a progressive practice by providing state of the art care for all pets medical and surgical needs. Red Hills Animal Hospital is proud to announce the addition of Dr. Caleb Gwilliam, who will be joining the Red Hills family as a veterinarian associate.

Dr. Gwilliam, a graduate of the Utah State/Washington State University Regional Veterinary program, has chosen to pursue his love for medicine and animals at Red Hills.

“I worked at Red Hills for three years prior to starting vet school and my vision of the ideal practice has evolved over the years,” said Gwilliam. I am impressed with both the quality of doctors and the caliber of the support staff at Red Hills. I appreciate their drive to continually learn and hone new skills while bringing the latest technology to their patients thereby improving the quality of care they can provide.”

In the last few years, Red Hills has introduced advanced dentistry, oral surgery, comprehensive ultrasounds and most recently, endoscopy and laparoscopy. This high-tech equipment allows veterinarians to expand the capabilities of what they can do, diagnose, and biopsy problematic organs or areas in a non-invasive way to avoid surgery.

Dr. Scott Hannig commented, “This equipment makes it possible to avoid surgery when an animal has swallowed a foreign body, such as an owners sock or oth-

er object. This also helps our clients avoid traveling to Las Vegas or Salt Lake for their animals because we now offer it all here in St. George.”

The advanced dentistry gives staff the ability to diagnose and treat the most common dental issues with less pain and a lower risk of fracturing the jaw. Over 70 percent of cats have cavities that can now be treated simply. Using these types of procedures minimizes the collateral damage to other parts of the mouth resulting in faster healing for animals and increases their overall quality of life.

“I strive to provide compassionate and loving care to each patient and aspire to help them live happy, healthy, pain free lives. I am honored to join such a vision and serve the southern Utah community,” said Gwilliam.

Red Hills Animal Hospital has been in business for over 20 years, and their five Doctors have over 45 years of combined veterinary knowledge and expertise. Dr. Bradley Esplin opened Red Hills Animal Hospital in November of 1998. Dr. Scott Hannig became a partner in the practice in 2007. In September of 2013, Dr. Esplin and Dr. Hannig opened the doors to their new state of the art hospital. Red Hill’s mission is to improve client’s life by helping their pet to be as healthy, happy, and comfortable as possible.

ing and subsequently used to make medicine in the form of CBD, as well as rope, fire pellets, plastic, and cement. Rice, manager of Sugarloaf Valley Hemp under the umbrella of Sugarloaf Valley Farms, clarified that hemp is not marijuana. He stated his and Owen’s willingness to speak about their project to anyone who has questions.

Sugarloaf Valley Farms has also begun to provide short-term rentals at their Guest Ranch. This helps to finance their other ventures, such as ranching and starting the hemp business. Owens addressed various rumors about the property. They are considering allowing more community access to the arena. They have also considered the possibility of exporting tiny houses built in the on-site wood shop, however they currently do not have the time for this venture.

Department reports followed. Cemetery cleanup will be on May 21. A cleanup checklist has been issued to those using the community space in the Town Hall. A 25 mph speed limit sign, as well as a Stop Sign Ahead sign, will be added on Burr Trail before the intersection with

Highway 12. Repairs are needed on Burr Trail where the water line runs across the road near the back entrance to the Lodge. This is the responsibility of the Water Company, who will be contacted about the issue. The Fire Department has received about $22,000 from the County to purchase personal protection equipment, including lightweight gear for wildland fires. Two hearings will occur at the next Planning Commission meeting on May 9. The first will address the General Plan draft.

The second will address an update to the Subdivision Ordinance, requiring that water hookups be in place before a subdivided lot can be sold.

The Forest Service will be doing prescribed burns on the mountain, and has stated that they will provide notification to town residents before doing so. Two positions for 4-year terms are open for election on the Town Council. Forms can be obtained from Town Clerks Judi Davis or Michala Alldredge.

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

Homeless Resource Center Partners Aim to Get ‘100 More Housed’ During Transition Lt. Governor Cox calls on area landlords to support the effort

courTesy uTah deParTmeNT of WorKforce servIces

Lt. Governor Cox, Janice Kimball and Jonathan Hardy announce "100 More Housed".

SOUTH SALT LAKE Today Lt. Governor Spencer Cox announced a new effort to help an additional 100 homeless people move into permanent housing during the transition to the homeless resource centers. The “100 More Housed” initiative is an effort by the Homeless Resource Center Transition Committee, including the state, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, Shelter the Homeless, The Road Home, Catholic Community Services, Utah Community Action and Volunteers of America, Utah.

“Housing is an essential part of the new homeless services delivery model,” said Cox. “We want to move people into stable housing situations as quickly as possible, and we’re starting now, before the new homeless resource centers are even built.”

The three homeless resource centers will replace the existing downtown community shelter, which is slated for closure in September 2019.

Housing vouchers totaling more than $1 million are available to help people experiencing homelessness to move into market-rate housing. The state recently funded an additional $400,000 for application fees, deposits and other barrier removal and to hire case managers to match those who are eligible for vouchers with appropriate housing.

“The solution to homelessness is housing,” said Housing and Community Development Division Director Jonathan Hardy. “Our goal is to make homelessness in Utah rare, brief and nonrecurring, and an important part of that goal is getting people into housing as efficiently as pos-

sible.”

Lt. Governor Cox called on Salt Lake area landlords to become partners in creating solutions, working with housing agencies and homeless service providers to make units available to people who have been homeless. Landlords can benefit from case management to help residents be successful, guaranteed rent direct-deposited into their accounts and move-in ready tenants. Interested landlords are encouraged to contact Dennis Faris with Housing Connect at 801-284-4442 or DennisFaris@HousingConnect.org.
