Historic Building in Loa in Need of Repair

LOA - Camp Mauna Loa Daughters of the Utah Pioneers needs your help with the Historic Building Restoration Project in Loa, Utah.

This historic building, located across the street East from the tabernacle in Loa, in in need of a new shingled roof, painting outside trim, repair of the working chimney, and general maintenance. The building was built in 1897 by Peter Christensen, using kiln-fired bricks from the quarry located between Lyman and Horse Valley. Benjamin Brown designed and built all of the woodwork. It is only 1 of 10 existing examples of Utah’s tithing offices designed in the Greek Revival style.

It is listed on the National Historic Register. This building was used when tithing was paid in-kind with produce, grain, etc., Until it became the Wayne Stake President’s Office. The DUP obtained the building in 1972 and has been active in preserving this part of our history. Meetings are held monthly

as stories are relayed about ancestors who built this valley and country, while enjoying the warm, wood fire from the pot belly stove.

Mauna Loa Camp is actively seeking funds to help with this restoration project by having a drawing for a hand-piece quilt, a minky quilt, and two rag rugs. These items are on display at Cache Valley Bank, where tickets may be obtained. They also may be purchased from any member. Call Marsha Chappell at 435-836-2614, Susan Chappell at 435-836-2434, or Charlene Nelson at 435-836-2610 for more information. Drawing will be held July 24, 2018 on Utah Pioneer Day. Please look for the spare change fundraiser jars located in businesses throughout the county. There will also be a luncheon on May 26th at noon at the building. We appreciate your support and contributions for this worthy cause.

“I am probably first a collector and then after that I am doing saddle repair. Collecting got me into repairing my collection, and then into doing saddle repair for customers. And after that I am building saddles, doing new stuff,” said Barnson.

With Barnson demonstrating the features of saddles from old to new, even the novice can begin to make out the differences in some basic Western saddle details.

Such as how the older saddles are much narrower, “Because they rode narrower horses

front of the store by the display windows. If a customer ventures in, Barnson—if he’s not too busy with some piece of handiwork—is likely to sit down and start talking about his featured saddles with the reverence one extends to fine works of art.

Two saddles are resting on a stand between the chairs.

There is beauty in the wear of the leather and the saddle makers’ workmanship, and Barnson is well-versed in the

history of the makers. “This one here is a C.P. Shipley, out of Kansas City, Missouri. It’s from about the 1890s. The other one is a Meanea, from Cheyenne, Wyoming. It’s a little newer, from the early 1900s.”

Barnson’s store, luxurious with the smell of leather, and chock-full of Western saddles of all kinds from antique to modern, is a testament to Barnson’s interest in saddlery, as well as the stories that are behind the making of any saddle and the riders that have

Exhibiting an antique saddle, he said, “What’s interesting about this saddle is that when you look at the design work most of it is done with a swivel knife. It’s using a knife instead of a stamp, and that kind of ages it, too.

This is tooling, or carving, is what they call it.” Referring Saddlery

BOULDER - Boulder Tree City will be celebrating Arbor Day on May 12th, with an array of activities for all ages. Tree City USA is a program that includes over 3,400 communities across the nation, who have all committed to managing and expanding their public trees. Boulder became a Tree City in 2014,

with the goal of fostering a community space for orchard trees, pollinator plants, and eventually a community food forest in the Boulder Town Park. Additionally, they provide workshops on topics such as tree care, and pruning, as well as a resource collection at the Boulder Library. Boulder, as well as many other towns

of a custom saddle is to keep both the rider and the horse comfortable. “A custom saddle versus a factory saddle—you can tell the difference if you spend 10-12 hours on it. When you are out in the mountains chasing cattle, you’re going all day long. If you’re customizing the saddle to the rider, then how do you customize to the horse, too? You do your measurements on a horse that the person likes to ride. It’s like if you’re a Ford Truck owner-— if you get a new horse you’ll probably go and get a similar one.”

“Right now a lot of people are crossing their quarter horses and thoroughbreds with a draft horse. You get a little flatter back on a draft horse.

So your saddle for a quarter horse may not fit a draft horse cross,” he added.

an impression in the dampened leather. “The finest saddle makers, they can do all of this free hand. I am more into stamping because I am not as proficient at tooling, but also my philosophy on tooling is that anything that comes across here (motioning to various areas of a saddle’s seat and fenders) for the working cowboy, it’s going to wear on your legs, so I like to have something like this,” he said, pointing to smooth areas on the saddle where the most physical contact is made.

Barnson spends a fair amount of time on the road, both to collect saddles and to increase his knowledge of saddle making. “I hit a lot of auctions—a lot of memorabilia auctions. I like to go to Montana—Montana has a lot of saddles. The places I go to learn—the Sheridan, Wyoming, Leather Crafters show is the best place to learn about saddles.

Living on a ranch in Circleville, which, like the store, also goes by the name “Straight Arrow” (Straight Arrow Ranch), Barnson lives front and center to one of the region’s favorite histories, the story of Butch Cassidy. Like many who are from that area north of Panguitch on Highway 89, and have had contact with members of the Robert LeRoy Parker family, Barnson is somewhat of a Butch Cassidy buff.

“I just finished a replica of one of Butch Cassidy’s holsters,” he said, explaining that Bill Betenson, Butch Cassidy’s great-nephew, commissioned him to do the replica from what is believed to be an original, obtained when Cassidy was arrested in Laramie, Wyoming.

“My brother has been doing repairs for 30 years. So he’s taught me the repair business.”

Barnson himself transitioned to saddle repair and leather work after 35 years in the insurance business, and credits his wife with spearheading the idea for a storefront. “My wife used it as an opportunity to get my hobby out of the basement,” he said.

Back at the work bench, Barnson discussed the variables that go into making a new custom saddle.

“Saddles are all different.

You decide all of what you want to do on paper. Because those hides up there (pointing at hides stacked up to the ceiling), it takes two of them to build a saddle. One of those hides is anywhere from $250300. You don’t want to mess up. So you do it on paper before you cut the hide.”

Missing Person Located Near Boulder BOULDER - On April 26, 2018, Garfield County Sheriff's Office received a report of an individual, Edward (Eddy) Kloogh Young, who had come up missing in the Boulder, Utah area. He had taken a truck and had left a note that stated he wasn't planning on coming back and was also known to have taken a handgun with him.

The Garfield County Deputies in the Boulder and Escalante Area went in search of Mr. Young and were unable to locate him.

On April 29, 2018 the Garfield County Sheriff requested the Department of Public Safety Helicopter for a search of the area. The Helicopter crew and Deputy Clint Pierson started searching at 0930 am and continued searching until 4:00 pm, when one of

the Helicopter crew noticed a body under some brush.

The body was transported to the Medical Examiner Officer in Salt Lake City, Utah Without the help of the DPS Helicopter this person would probably have never been located until someone accidently walked into the area by mistake. The DPS Helicopter has been extremely beneficial to Garfield County in searching the difficult areas in our county and we are greatly appreciative of DPS support to our small counties for making this resource available.

Garfield County Sheriff's Office would like to express our condolences to family and friends of Edward (Eddy) Young.

Frank Hat Place, Caineville (where Perry Jackson spent his honeymoon). a cottonwood log in Caineville and tell you so. The notorious California B filmmaker *Al Adamson and one time owner of the Rim Rock Motel in Torrey, once shot a gritty film about Caineville. Produced in black and white, the opening scene in Al’s Caineville movie is a worn and weathered wooden gate, swinging loose on its squeaking hinges, with withering leaves whistling by in the dusty desert wind looking like a dramatic scene from the 1953 movie, Shane. At any minute you expect Alan Ladd (Shane) to turn his back to little boy Joey and then callously leave Caineville forever, never looking back. That very scene from the movie Shane has played itself out in Caineville more times than anyone will ever know; the town of Teasdale was once populated with a lot of the folks who turned their back to Caineville after “The Big Flood of ’09,” never thinking to return after tasting the sweet mountain water of Bullberry Creek.

In Marian Murphy’s book A History of Wayne County, Ms. Marian glosses over everything Caineville. It is like she dropped her drink on the floorboard of her car around Forrest Sim’s Sleepy Hollow Campground on the east side of Capitol Reef National Park, reached down to get it and didn’t come back up until she got to Hanksville. She misses so many of the good things about Caineville in her book that it makes one think she

sonal stories of Caineville.

To be absolutely fair, everybody has a Caineville origin story, but it depends on who you talk to whether or not it is printable, and the stories get more colorful the further up county you go. Ann Snow’s 1950’s Caineville rendition in the book Rainbow Views seems to rise to the top with the rest of the cream when it comes close to what is the real truth. President A.K. Thurber opened the region now known as Caineville in 1882, the stalwart individual that he was.

Elijah Cutler Behunin heeded the call to settle in the wilderness, and with a staff and flock of sheep, he at once packed up his passel of kids and moved there. According to one account, Brigham Ney went with him, stayed over night, and left in disgust. E.C. built a cottonwood log cabin (still standing along the Fremont River). He cut cane and wild grasses near the river to provide winterfeed for his horses and daily on bended knee, glanced skyward waiting for his rewards.

As is generally the case as soon as an area was settled, a LDS ward was set up and the search was on for a Bishop.

In the spring of 1892 while Wayne was still a branch Sevier Stake, President A.K. Thurber came again to the lower valley looking for a Bishop for Caineville. After calling at the Floral Ranch where the Hanks families were living, he asked for Walter. A.K. was directed to a sheep camp not

far away. Not finding Walter, A.K. left a note on the camp stove, which read, “Meet me in Caineville on Sunday.”

Somewhat hesitantly and curious, Walt Hanks met the appointment and was told he was selected to preside over the Saints of Caineville, at which time Walt uttered, “President Thurber, I would gladly go on a fifteen year mission rather than be Bishop.” President Thurber then replied, “You can be Bishop longer than that if you behave yourself.” Church records indicate that divinely dutiful Walt Hanks commanded the pulpit as Bishop of the Caineville Ward for 18 years.

The hardy individuals that settled in the lower country immediately recognized the fact just as 1 + 1 = 2, that the conducive climate of Caineville combined with a little H2O would make seeds sprout. So armed with sticks and seeds, they set out to plant fruits of all kinds; melons, cane, grain, vegetables and most importantly shade trees for those hot Caineville afternoons.

Cash crops were sorghum, dried fruits, and winter apples.

While fresh fruit was of high quality, Caineville was just too far from any market in the early days to reap much of a benefit from it. It didn’t take long before fermentation and consumption became a viable option, and usually, like gas in Torrey, demanded a rather high price, but thirsty miners were more than obliged to produce some gold dust to pay for it.

As calamitous as the biblical ten plagues of Egypt, there have been somewhat similar historical incidents that have taken place in Caineville but they have been relatively few and far between. In the winter of 1892 – 93, the dreaded disease diphtheria reared its steely head, stealing seven kids lives from their beds as they slept.

Then there was the big flood in 1909 and probably a couple more that didn’t find its way into the history books.

Today Caineville can be a great place to live, visit, and is home to some very persistent farming families such as the Jackson’s, the world renowned Randy Ramsley Mesa Market, The Luna Mesa Café, the ever evolving Robinson Nut Ranch and the perpetual entrylevel EMT training ground, Swing Arm City. You always see something new when you drive to Caineville.

Just to be clear, the good book tells us that the town of Caineville was named in honor of John T. Caine, a Utah Representative. John T. Caine settled in the Territory of Utah in 1852 and taught school. He served as secretary of the territorial council during the sessions of 1856, 1857, 1859, and 1860. He was one of the founders of the Salt Lake Herald in 1870, serving as managing editor and president. He served as delegate to the Utah constitutional conventions in 1872 and 1882. He served as member of the territorial council in 1874, 1876, 1880, and 1882. Caine served as member of the Utah State Senate in 1896 and will be forever remembered as the Caineville namesake.

Al Adamson was reported missing in 1995. Five weeks later, after law enforcement officials discovered his remains beneath the concrete and tile-covered floor where his hot tub once sat at his home in Indio, California, his live-in contractor Fred Fulford was arrested at the Coral Reef Hotel in Saint Petersburg, Florida.

Fulford was charged with and convicted of murder, and sentenced to 25 years to life, tiling bathrooms and showers in a California prison.

BRYCE VALLEY Students TRAVEL TO SLC TO EXPERIENCE “Hamilton”

Courtesy Zion's Bank

Bryce Valley, along with 40 other Utah High Schools, joined in SLC for an all student matinee of "Hamilton," after weeks of studying about the namesake Founding Father, Alexander Hamilton.

SALT LAKE CITY Bryce Valley joined more than 40 other Utah high schools for an all-student matinee performance of “Hamilton” at the Eccles Theater in Salt Lake City on May 4. After weeks of studying a special integrated curriculum about Alexander Hamilton, the performance provided more than 2,100 students an opportunity to experience the musical in person.

Special funding through the state of Utah, Zions Bank and other organizations allowed these students to attend the matinee performance for just $10 — a Hamilton bill.

They also participated in a Q&A with members of the “Hamilton” cast, and watched peers perform songs, poetry, rap, scenes and monologues about the Founding Fathers on stage.

“It was a thrill for us to meet the students from Bryce Valley who had the chance to experience this important musical and to dive deep into this chapter of history through the Hamilton Education Program we were so proud to support,”

2017 Utah Mathematics, Reading Scores Steady

SALT LAKE CITY – Much like students nationally, Utah fourth and eighth grade students held steady in their performance on National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) tests in mathematics and reading in 2017 compared to performance in 2015, according to data NAEP released today.

Utah fourth and eighth graders continue to outperform students nationally in both mathematics and reading, the data also showed.

“The NAEP report shows Utah students are performing well compared to the majority of states, but not well enough,” said State Superintendent of Public Instruction Sydnee Dickson. “While our top performing students are outperforming their peers in the nation, we are deeply concerned about gaps in achievement among various student groups. We will be working closely with our local school districts and charter schools to ensure every student has the knowledge and skills needed to ensure they have choices about their future”.

NAEP biennially tests a sampling of fourth and eighth grade students in all 50 states in the subjects of reading and mathematics. There is no individual district or school data; only state and national results.

said Rob Brough, Zions Bank executive vice president. “Because the arts bring value to our community, we wanted to make sure students from across the state had the chance to see ‘Hamilton’ on tour.”

The Hamilton Education Program, nicknamed “EduHam,” is one of several history education programs at the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History. Its president, James G. Basker — who devised the education program in New York in tandem with “Hamilton” creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, producer Jeffrey Seller, The Rockefeller Foundation and the NYC Department of Education —added, “This project is transformative. ‘Hamilton’ has struck a chord with our nation’s students because it embodies what great history education is all about: bringing the past to life and fostering connections with the exceptional individuals and moments that have made us who we are. This program empowers students to reclaim their own narrative and empowers teachers to bridge

classroom learning with the stage.”

The Rockefeller Foundation provided an initial grant that funded the educational partnership in New York City, then committed an additional $6 million to the effort to support the national expansion of the program.

“Hamilton” is the story of America’s Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from the West Indies who became George Washington’s right-hand man during the Revolutionary War and was the new nation’s first Treasury Secretary. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B, and Broadway, “Hamilton” is the story of America then, as told

by America now. With book, music and lyrics by Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, “Hamilton” is based on Ron Chernow’s biography of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton.

The Panguitch Bobcat Softball team is chartering new territory, as they have advanced to the 2nd round of the State Softball Tournament.

They had a big win over North Summit, 17-9. The 1st round was played last Saturday, May 5th, in Fillmore. There aren’t enough 1A teams that play softball to form a league, so many of their games are against 2A teams. In a double elimination tournament, the Cats lost to Millard 12-1 in the first game.

With only 30 minutes rest and temperatures in the 80’s, the Lady Cats got off to a good start against the North Summit Braves, by scoring 4 runs in the first inning. They had 3 hits and 2 walks, and all 9 batters got to bat. With the exception of the second inning, the Cats scored runs in each of the remaining 5 innings. Camri Fischer pitched the 1st game against Millard

and came into relieve her sister Alyssa in the 2nd inning and got the win. In the second game, Alyssa, Camri, Abbey Blevins, Cat Howell and Jessica Roundy all had multiple base hits. Kathleen Sullivan, laid down a bunt to start a 5 run rally in the 3rd inning. Jayde Rose, Jessica, Kathleen and Lexy Rushton had zero errors in the outfield to assist in the win.

The Lady Cats travel up to Spanish Fork on Thursday to play at 4:00. The Lady Cats program is only in their fourth year, and they have come a long way, from being the door mats of the league. They are an excellent fielding team, which makes very few errors. Kelly Holman has put in a lot of hours working with these girls to bring them up to another level of play. Good luck at State.

At the BYU track and field event last Friday and Saturday,

the Cats had four top finishers.

Many of the team had their best personal times. This meet is loaded with most of the schools in the state in the 1A to 3A, and with 22 3A teams in attendance.

Kanyon Lamb came in 3rd in the 100M hurdles and 4th in the 300M hurdles.

Bryson Marshall placed 6th and 8th in Discus and Javelin.

Kapri Orton took 2nd in the high jump.

Taylia Norris had a really big meet taking 3rd in the 3,200, 6th in the 1,600M and 4th in the 800M. The Cats met yesterday in Bryce Valley for the region 20 meet, and we will finally be able to see how everyone matches up in a 1A meet. I believe that State will be next Friday and Saturday at BYU. For once it might be run in decent weather without rain and snow.

Wills, Trusts, and More What If You Owe More Than You Own?

Page 5

t H e

l A u G h i N g pOiNt!!

by Jeffery J. McKenna When formulating your estate plan, it is good to figure what you own and what you owe before deciding what to leave to whom. However, it is possible to add all your assets and debts and find that you owe more than you own!

What to do? First, don't panic. Your creditors truly can't touch you. You may, however, worry about how the bills that trickle in, and sometimes flood in, after your death will affect your loved ones.

Your spouse will continue to be responsible for debts you incurred jointly—such as the house, the car and all others.

But if you are the second spouse to die, what will your children and other loved ones owe your creditors? After your death, banks will want the money you still owe on your house and your car. Your credit card companies will wonder where your monthly payment has gone. Hospitals will want their balances paid. Utility companies will send out their usual monthly bills.

Who is responsible for paying? You owed this money.

After your death, those debts will be passed on to your estate. Banks might repos-

sess, if no one is paying what you owed on the car and the house. Credit card companies and other creditors may place liens against your estate. If you had nothing to leave in the first place, these organizations are pretty much out of luck.

Your good-hearted and responsible children may feel compelled, when faced with mounting debts, to start paying them off themselves. This is absolutely unnecessary--and unfair.

They didn't incur these debts.

You did. Their failure to make good on what you owe will in no way (despite what some overzealous collection agencies may say) affect their own credit histories. It is not necessary for them to use their assets to pay your personal bills. Every large lending corporation includes a substantial line item in the "expenditures" section of its annual budget for write-offs, or uncollectible debts. Yours will be one of these.

Of course you have a responsibility to try to live within your means and to try to ensure that all of your bills are covered. However, sometimes people go through periods of unemployment or illness or hard luck that was unpredict-

Plant Care 101

About a month or so ago, after much deliberation, I bought a magnolia tree from our local nursery. After only a few weeks I noticed that the leaves had started to shrivel and the tree appeared to be on its last legs in spite of my tender care. So I took some leaf samples and marched back to the nursery to demand an explanation or get my money back.

"I know exactly what's wrong with your magnolia," said the manager.

"Good!" I exclaimed. "What's it suffering from?"

Anniversary

Just before my birthday, my construction superintendent husband, Bill, casually asked me the name of my favorite perfume. "Sand and Sable," I said, pleased I was getting more than just candy.

With that vital information, Bill confidently approached the clerk in the Penney's perfume department and asked, "Could I have a bottle of Sand and Gravel, please?"

Today's Thought

I do not participate in any sport with ambulances waiting at the bottom of a hill.

Used Clothing

My mother frequently visits used clothing stores and always brings home bags full of what she considers treasures. My father's disapproval of this practice was apparent one evening when Mom pulled out a vibrantly colored sweater from one of her bags to model for us. "It's for visibility!" she proclaimed proudly. "I can wear it when I go walking on the road and no one will hit me."

"Not by accident, anyway," Dad responded.

Punishment

I tried to sue the airport for misplacing my luggage. – I lost my case.

Insomnia

Steve, my accountant husband, and I both suffer from occasional bouts of insomnia. One night I suggested we try a technique I'd read about, which was to encourage relaxation. Laying with our eyes closed, I described a relaxing scene: "We're in a beautiful, oceanside bungalow on a tropical island.

A gentle breeze is coming through the French doors that lead to our private ocean path." A quiet voice startled me from my peaceful place; "How much is this vacation costing us?" Steve asked.

The Movies

For the first time in many years, an old man traveled from his rural town to the city to attend a movie.

After buying his ticket, he stopped at the concession stand to purchase some popcorn. Handing the attendant $3.50, he couldn't help but comment, "The last time I came to the movies, popcorn was only 25 cents."

"Well, sir," the attendant replied with a grin, "You're really going to enjoy yourself. We have sound now."

Garfield County Office of Tourism Grants $119,000 to Local Organizations to Help Increase Tourism PANGUITCH - In response to 2018 funding requests, the Garfield County Office of Tourism has contributed $119,000 to local organizations within the county—nearly $10,000 more than last year.

The funds will be utilized by groups for local events and outof-state marketing efforts with the goal to increase tourism and spend in the county.

“Hosting interesting events plays an important role in creating an active community,” said Falyn Owens, director of Garfield County’s tourism of-

fice. “The county always has a great blend of appealing activities that effectively showcase what makes our region of Utah so unique. These events support local business and give people a reason to visit.”

For the 2018 tourism season, Garfield County contributed a total of $53,000 to 18 organizations through its Event Funding Program. Nearly every organization was granted the maximum of $3,000, which is used by recipients for the expenses connected with hosting an event. Some of the events being subsidized by the county include the Panguitch Lake Ice Fishing Derby, Canyon 2 Canyon Bike Ride, Moqui Motor Madness and Color Me Fun Run. In addition to the funds given for events, the county awarded $66,000 to 14 different entities for co-op marketing purposes. This money will be used by groups to increase

w

out-of-state advertising efforts or to enhance tourism projects within the county. Some organizations might also opt to put the funds toward updating brochures, travel guides, websites, pamphlets and other marketing materials.

Each year, nonprofit organizations have the option to request funds from the county by completing an application that involves an oral presentation. Through this process, the group must demonstrate how an event or project will attract visitors from outside the state. The Garfield County tourism council reviews the application and grants funds to an organization if the council believes an event or project is likely to increase Transient Room Tax revenues.

The county has made the process of obtaining funds more competitive in recent years.

This past application period introduced changes designed to improve how county tour-

ism funds are allocated and used. One of these changes is a post-event survey, which must be distributed by organizations that were granted county funds. The survey asks questions to event participants about their experience and stay in the county. Another adjustment is that Garfield County will not provide funding for events happening during the county fair, taking place Aug. 13-18, 2018.

“The updates made to the event funding application are intended to improve the process and allow us to better distribute funds,” Owens said.

“We want contributions to be used in the best way possible, and these application changes—including the information gained from the post-event survey—will help as we plan future events and activities within the county.”

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com The big excitement in town was Merle Stowell’s l00th birthday party.

She looked really good, and there were hundreds of folks there to wish her many more of them.

People had come from all over the country to see her. Merle had her picture taken with 5 generations of her family, and she is still really sharp, knowing many people by their names. It has been a long time since we have had anyone reach her age. We did have a young couple celebrate their 90th birthday this year, Glen Bauer last Monday and Ileta Dix back in January. Panguitch is a great place to grow old in, with so many friends to look out for you.

It looks like May decided not to rely on April for showers and started off the month with showers of her own. Royce Pollock said that they got some snow out in the Park, with over 8” out at Rainbow Point. The wind

also seems to have slowed down a little bit, but the temperatures are heating up to summer time, with 90’s down in St. George.

Speaking of the Park, LaMont Olson says they can use a few more drivers for their buses. So if you have some bus driving experience and are looking for a summer job, it does pays well.

We went up to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point last week. The festival was in its last couple of days. Boy, are they really something to behold. We talked to one of the grounds keepers, and she told us that starting on Monday, all of the Tulip bulbs will be pulled up, taken to the green house cleaned up, and sold to the public. Then in the fall, they will plant new bulbs so that they will be ready for next year’s festival. There are hundreds of thousands of these bulbs, and they are planted in rows of all the same color

and, boy, are they beautiful. The garden will be next planted in flowers for the summer and then again in the fall. We have seen gardens from all over the world and right here, just a couple hundred miles away, we have one of the best anywhere. Judging from all of the cars that were parked in their lots, there must have been at least 5,000 people viewing the festival.

As good as the Gardens are, there in one of their gardens are some world class bronze statues, depicting Christ’s Ministering on earth. As you walk through an arch, there is Christ walking on water, healing the leaper, those without sin cast the first stone, and many more of these bigger than life statues. As you leave this garden area, off to the side, is another small garden with Joseph’s first Vision. As great as the garden is, these statues are a world class feature

and well worth the price of admission. Pat talked to one of the attendees at the entrance building, and she said that the statues are on loan. These sculptures are priceless and would be worth many millions of dollars. So next time you are in the SLC area, a good use of your time would be well spent at the Gardens. If you would like to see some pictures of the gardens and statues, I have them on my phone.

Those fans of LaMont Olsen Space Train Series, you are in luck. His second book, An Uncertain Voyage, will be ready to order in the next few days from Amazon Books.

LaMont hopes the third book in the series will be ready in the next couple of months. If these other books are as good as his first one, he will have a hit on his hands. It was really hard to put down.

Nearly 10 years ago, a resident enjoying a favorite hike up Boulder Mountain, came across a bunch of dead fish along Boulder Creek. A lot of them.

A few phone calls brought to light that Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) had a program to eradicate brook trout from the East Fork of Boulder Creek (and elsewhere), in order to re-introduce Colorado Cutthroat Trout (CCT). Their eradication tool of choice was rotenone, a piscicide then in standard use, mixed in with a petroleum “carrier.” This was “applied” at various locations along the East Fork creek. At the Garkane catchment pond, purplehued potassium permanganate was dumped in to neutralize the poison.

East Fork of Boulder Creek is the source of virtually all irrigation water that flows through Boulder. The ditches, the ponds, all that water spraying out of pivots and wheel lines comes from there, not to mention connected seeps and springs that also feed our culinary aquifer. Boulder residents strongly objected to the poisoning. The Town Council at that time issued a resolution objecting to the practice and demanding cessation of the poisoning of East Fork Boulder Creek. The UDWR and Dixie National Forest (DFS) started holding official public commentary sessions. For a variety of reasons, perhaps part of which was the citizen outcry, the CCT program was

put on hold.

Now, in April of 2018, the program is back, and Boulder residents are incredulous, ticked off, and defiant. Last month, two representatives--one from UDWR, one from DNF--- stood in front of about 70 Boulder residents packed into the town meeting room to explain their planned resumption of the CCT re-introduction, which means poisoning the brook trout off the mountain. The two men, Richard Hepworth and Mike Golden, are personable and professional. They also strongly believe in CCT re-introduction, and they patiently explained the program details and took comments from the listeners.

Boulder residents are nothing if not civil. (Ask Mike Noel.) Yet the solidarity in the room was evident. One resident spoke for many when she stated, “Don’t you get it? We didn’t want this 10 years ago, and we don’t want it now.”

Other residents cited studies about long-term health effects on humans from rotenone exposure. Some asked about non-chemical means of eliminating brook trout. And others questioned the ethics of the whole management practice---stocking Boulder Mountain with brook trout decades ago, and now poisoning the mountain streams to get rid of them.

Mike and Richard pointed to their stream maps showing Boulder Mountain area as one of the southernmost reaches of the native Colorado Cutthroat Trout. That the brook trout and

other fish outcompete the CCT in breeding and food sources, and that the CCT are close to being listed as Endangered Species, a status that kicks off an entire new level of regulations and restrictions.

Of course, here, I’ve only provided a grossly abbreviated version of the issue. There are truckloads of documentation from years’ worth of meetings, Garkane license agreements and litigation, as well as the dispute between the agencies and Boulder citizenry.

The bottom line comes down to the determination of the agencies to complete their brook trout poisoning and the absolute resistance of Boulder area residents to their doing that.

Mike and Richard stayed in town the next day to take individual comments. During that session they were asked, “If you were still required to accomplish your same program mandate, but if chemicals were completely eliminated from your toolbox, specifically, how would you get rid of the brook trout?”

Here was their response: Construct a temporary fish barrier at King’s Pasture Reservoir to isolate the fish above the reservoir, and fish out all the upstream fish. Then net all the fish in the reservoir itself, requiring probably four to six people per day until there are no more fish in the nets. At that point, continue fishing out downstream segments, at least to the point of connecting West and East

Fork Boulder creeks. Richard said a similar effort would be required every year to accomplish the requirement of establishing a certain CCT population in 10 years.

In the meantime, Boulder residents are convening to discuss their own plans.

One of the continuous commitments over the years, professed in Boulder Town’s General Plan is to “protect our clean water.” Dumping a poison into Boulder’s irrigation source flies in the face of that commitment. The indiscriminate killing of every fish in the creek, along with unknown other smaller life forms in the food chain, is also anathema to most Boulder residents. And the existence of competing studies describing rotenone/potassium permanganate health effects does not sit well with people who water their livestock, fields, and gardens; swim in the irrigation ponds with their kids; and otherwise connect with East Fork of Boulder Creek every day as it runs through town, and beyond.

This is not a simple matter, and the resolution will not be easy.

One might also wonder about the County’s response to all this. For several years, Garfield County stood in defiance of another UDWR mandate to re-introduce beavers on Boulder Mountain.

Where do they stand on this issue?

Fishlake National Forest Advisory Committee Seeking New Members RICHFIELD – The Fishlake National Forest is seeking members to serve on the Fishlake Resource Advisory Committee. The RAC is a local advisory committee that recommends projects for funding to federal land managers which will benefit resources on National Forest System Lands.

The 15 member group represents a cross section of county communities, industries, schools, environmentalists and local government.

RAC members solicit, review and recommend projects that meet the following objectives: • improve the maintenance of existing infrastructure; • implement stewardship objectives that enhance forest ecosystems; and • restore and improve land health and water quality.

Since its creation, the RAC has helped fund numerous projects in Beaver, Millard, Piute, Sevier and Wayne Counties. Projects recommended by the RAC include range improvement and maintenance projects, fish passage and waterway restoration, road and trail maintenance, and noxious weed detection and reduction efforts. All RAC projects must show a clear benefit to public lands. Many of the projects are located on National Forest lands on the Fishlake National Forest, but can take place on private lands if there is a direct benefit to public lands.

There are several vacancies among the 15 member positions and three alternate positions.

To be eligible for consideration, prospective committee members must reside within the state of Utah and preferably within Beaver, Millard, Piute, Sevier or

Wayne Counties. Prospective members should be representative of at least one element of one of the following three categories: •

Organized labor developed outdoor recreation, off highway vehicle users, energy and mineral development interests, commercial timber industry, or hold federal grazing or other land use permits.

• Nationally recognized environmental organizations, regionally or locally recognized environmental organizations, dispersed recreational activities, archaeological and historical interests, or nationally or regionally recognized wild horse and burro interest groups.

• State elected office or a designee, county or local elected official, American Indian Tribes, school officials or teachers, or represent the affected public at large.

The RAC meets on an “as needed basis” generally one to two times a year at the Fishlake National Forest Supervisor’s Office in Richfield, Utah. Meetings generally start at around 6 p.m. and usually last from 2 to 3 hours.

Application forms and additional information can be obtained by contacting John Zapell at the Fishlake National Forest: (435) 896-1070 or email jzapell@ fs.fed.us. Application forms can also be obtained by visiting the Fishlake National Forest website at https:// www.fs.usda.gov/main/fishlake/workingtogether/advisorycommittees.

Rainbow Bridge National Monument Designated as an International Dark Sky Sanctuary

Courtesy NPS

Rainbow Bridge National Monument has been designated as an International Dark Sky Sanctuary for the quality of its naturally dark night skies and the site's cultural heritage.

PAGE – Rainbow Bridge National Monument and the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) are excited to announce the designation of Rainbow Bridge National Monument as an International Dark Sky Sanctuary. This designation is the first of its kind in the National Park Service and distinguishes Rainbow Bridge National Monument for the quality of its naturally dark night skies and the site’s cultural heritage.

“This designation is an important step to ensure we protect the entirety of the landscape at Rainbow Bridge National Monument, which is sacred to many of the Native American Tribes in the area,” said William Shott, Superintendent of Rainbow Bridge National Monument and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. “We’re thrilled to be the first National Park Service unit to receive this specific designation, as this will only fuel our night sky preservation efforts.”

Located in south-central Utah, Rainbow Bridge National Monument is one of the smallest units in the National Park Service and encompasses

just 160 acres of land. It is accessible only by boat on Lake Powell or by backpacking in from Navajo Mountain. At least six area Native American Tribes, including the Hopi, Zuni, Navajo, San Juan Southern Paiute, Kaibab Paiute, and Ute Mountain Ute, consider the site sacred.

IDA established the International Dark Sky Places program in 2001 to encourage the protection of natural dark night skies around the globe through responsible lighting policies and public outreach and education. Rainbow Bridge National Monument joins a host of National Parks on the Colorado Plateau with International Dark Sky Park designations recognized by the IDA and celebrated for their naturally dark skies.

“We are pleased to honor and respect the status of Rainbow Bridge as the first Traditional Cultural Property accredited through the IDA International Dark Sky Places Program,” said International Dark-Sky Association Executive Director J. Scott Feierabend. “In the span of this remarkable natural bridge, we see symbolically represented

the arch of the Milky Way across the night sky, a reminder of the long-held value of both Rainbow Bridge and the natural night sky to native peoples of the area.”

The designation will be celebrated with astronomy events throughout the year, the first of which will be held on April 21, 2018 at the Lake Powell Resort in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area’s Wahweap District from 7:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. (Mountain Standard Time). This event coincides with the final day of International Dark-Sky Week, the first day of National Park Week, and the year’s second National Park Service Free Entrance Day. In addition to these special events, visitors to the park can participate in a variety of astronomy programming ranging from star parties to solar viewing. These programs provide visitors an opportunity to learn about Glen Canyon’s skies and the continued efforts of the National Park Service and International Dark-Sky Association to preserve natural night skies.

USDA Seeks Feedback from Growers about 2018 Crops, Stocks, Livestock Inventories and Values

DENVER - During the next several weeks, U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) will conduct two major mid-year surveys, the June Agricultural Survey and the June Area Survey. The agency will contact over 12,000 producers across the region to determine crop acreage and stock levels as of June 1, 2018.

“Two of the most important and well-known surveys NASS conducts are the June Agricultural Survey and June Area Survey, due to the widespread and significant impact of their results,” explained Bill Meyer, director of the NASS Mountain Regional Office.

“When growers respond to these surveys, they provide essential information that helps determine the expected acreage and supply of major commodities in the United States for the 2018 crop year. Results of this survey are used by farmers and ranchers, USDA, businesses, exporters, researchers, economists, policymakers, and others

who use the survey information in making a wide range of decisions that benefit you as a producer.”

Data for the June Agricultural Surveys are gathered by NASS via the Internet, mail, phone, or in-person interview.

For the June Area Survey, trained NASDA enumerators representing NASS visit select tracts of land and interview the operators of any farm or ranch within that selected tract.

Growers are asked to provide information on planted and harvested acreage – including acreage for biotech crops and grain stocks. Additionally, the survey collects data on livestock inventory, cash rents, land values, and value of sales.

“NASS safeguards the privacy of all respondents and publishes only state- and nationallevel data, ensuring that no individual operation or producer can be identified,” stated Meyer.

“We recognize this is a hectic time for farmers and ranchers, but the information they provide helps U.S. agriculture remain

viable and capable. I urge them to respond to these surveys and thank them for their cooperation,” said Bill Meyer.

NASS will analyze the survey information and publish the results in a series of USDA reports, including the annual Acreage and quarterly Grain Stocks reports, both to be released June 29, 2018. Survey data also contribute to NASS’s monthly and annual Crop Production reports, the annual Small Grains Summary, the annual Farms and Land in Farms and Land Values reports, various livestock reports, including Cattle, Sheep and Goats, and Hogs and Pigs, and USDA’s monthly World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates.

These and all NASS reports are available online at www.nass.usda.gov/Publications. For more information call the NASS Mountain Regional Field Office at (800) 392-3202 —USDA

Summer Culinary Classes at SUU CEDAR CITY - Southern Utah University’s Community Education program has several culinary courses to offer this summer. Resolve to decorate your next birthday cake, learn how to master that Dutch oven or spend time with a loved one with classes for everybody.

JaNell Wood, of Simply Delicious Confections in Cedar City, is instructing multiple classes in cake decorating and hosting mother/child and father/child cupcake classes for both Mother’s and Father’s Day. “I grew up baking and making candy with my mom,” Wood said. “Over the years, I’ve come to realize that baking is about more than the food. It’s about people and the myriad of events

in their lives that bring them together.”

Just in time for the warm weather, two Dutch oven courses are now open for registration this summer. Dutch ovens for beginners and “A Taste of the Old West” are being taught by Norm Forbush and Kendall Benson, two professionals with more than 60 years of combined experience using coal-fired ovens. Each course offers participants the chance to try out their new skills with outdoor cookouts.

And the cooking class Southern Utah Chef is back by popular demand from SUU Community Education. In Southern Utah Chef, local chefs teach participants how to prepare a favorite meal from their menus in the el-

egant setting of Cedar City’s IG Winery.

The IG Winery has several options for guests to enjoy social activities in Cedar City, and Anthony Piersanti, director of operations, will also be instructing two courses to help participants better understand red and white wines.

“Southern Utah Chef is an amazing experience where local chefs, guests and host are able to live, love and laugh about everything food,” Piersanti said. “As far as our wine tasting classes go, this isn't a pretentious class — it’s more of a lively experience that is accessible and fun.”

USDA Designates Eight Counties in Utah as Primary Natural Disaster Areas with Assistance to Producers in Nevada WASHINGTON - The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has designated eight counties in Utah as primary natural disaster areas due to losses and damages caused by a recent drought.

Those counties are: Carbon, Garfield, Millard, Utah, Emery, Juab, Sanpete, Wasatch Farmers and ranchers in the following contiguous counties in Utah also qualify for natural disaster assistance.

Those counties are: Beaver, Kane, San Juan, Tooele, Duchesne, Piute, Sevier, Uintah, Grand, Salt Lake, Summit, Wayne, Iron Farmers and ranchers in the contiguous counties of Lincoln and White Pine in Nevada also qualify for natural disaster assistance.

Qualified farm operators in the designated areas eligible for the Farm Service Agency’s (FSA’s) emergency (EM) loans, provided eligibility requirements are met.

Farmers in eligible counties have eight months from the date of the declaration of April 26, 2018, to apply for loans to help cover part of their actual losses. FSA will consider each loan application on its own merits, taking into account the extent of losses, security available and repayment ability. FSA has a variety of programs, in addition to the EM loan program, to help eligible farmers recover from the impacts of this disaster.

Other FSA programs that can provide assistance, but do not require a disaster declaration, include: Operating and Farm Ownership Loans; the Emergency Conservation Program; Livestock Forage Disaster Program; Livestock Indemnity Program; Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees and Farm-Raised Fish Program; and the Tree Assistance Program. Interested farmers may contact their local USDA service centers for further information on eligibility requirements and application procedures for these and other programs.

Suit Claims BLM Broke Law with Oil and Gas Leases

SALT LAKE CITY Conservation groups say the U.S. Bureau of Land Management broke the law when it approved eight large oil and gas lease sales in Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Nevada and Utah, and filed suit yesterday in federal court.

The sales came after the agency rolled back protections for greater sage-grouse habitat and cut opportunities for the public to have a say in how public lands are managed.

Laird Lucas, with the group, Advocates for the West and lead attorney on the case, says so far under the Trump administration he's only seen the pendulum swinging toward energy development without regard for wildlife.

"We're trying to get the pendulum to go back because that's what the laws say, that you have to have a balance there," he says.

"And this administration is not acting in accordance with the law. We need to have balance in how public lands are managed."

After a decade of work by federal, state and local leaders along with ranchers, energy companies and other stakeholders, a comprehensive land-use plan was put in place to keep sage grouse off the endangered species list. Populations of the iconic birds have declined by as much as 95 percent from historic levels.

Some industry groups argue the plan overestimated the impacts from energy production, and Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke has pushed to remove restrictions for development on public lands in order to achieve energy dominance.

Lucas says there are plenty of places on public or private lands to drill for oil and gas without encroaching on habitat that the sage grouse and more than 350 other species depend on.

"There are millions of acres of federal leases that are held by oil and gas companies that are not being developed," he notes. "Awarding more leases now does

not make sense, particularly where it threatens really sensitive wildlife habitats."

In the 1970s, Congress adopted laws for how public lands should be managed by the BLM, requiring the agency to use the best available science and allow the public to play a meaningful role in planning and landuse decisions.

Lucas says he hopes the federal judge in the Boise U.S. District Court will agree that the BLM has violated what he calls bedrock environmental laws.
