HOUSTON - Garkane Energy Cooperative received recognition in the 2019 Spotlight on Excellence Awards program nationally, sponsored by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA). Garkane received a Gold award in the Best Total Communication Program category for its yearlong member awareness campaign. A special reception honored the award recipients during the CONNECT ‘19 Conference held in Houston, Texas, on May 7. Winning entries were displayed during the event.

“We made a concerted effort in 2018 to educate our consumers of the benefits of being a member of an electric cooperative. While there are many benefits of being a member of Garkane, the most tangible is the low rates Garkane provides. Compared to

other utilities, Garkane’s rates are among the lowest in the state.” Stated Neal Brown, Marketing & Member Service Manager for Garkane. “While it’s nice to be recognized on a national level, I’m more pleased to see the number of consumers who identify as

members increase on a local level. We’ve seen voting numbers in our director elections increase, engagement on Facebook increase, and community engagement increase, Excellence Award Cont'd on page 3

Air Pollution Plagues National Parks WASHINGTON - Air pollution continues to be a major problem for our national parks. according to a new report that says it's getting worse.

The National Parks Conservation Association study found that 85% or more of the 417 national park sites it evaluated have air that is unhealthy to breathe at times, with hazy skies that diminish views and air pollution that harms plant and animal life.

Stephanie Kodish, the group's Clean Air Program director, said pollution from mining, drilling and burning of fossil fuels can drift hundreds of miles from more densely populated areas, causing serious damage to places set aside to preserve their natural beauty.

"These are places that define and unite us as a nation, and they're suffering from air pollution and they're suffering from climate change," she said. "We can turn this around, but we need to be acting together and we need to be acting quickly."

The report also found that extreme trends in tem-

BOULDER - The May Boulder Town Planning Commission meeting began with a public comment period, followed by a Public Hearing for the Subdivision Ordinance revision. The purpose of the revision is to require that water hookups be in place before a subdivided lot can be sold. One member of the public expressed praise about this revision, however was concerned about the fire hydrant requirement. Many properties have wells and are far from the town water supply. Putting in a hydrant or water tank could be difficult and a major expense. Zoning Administrator Curtis Oberhansly responded that this has been an issue in other towns,

Temperatures in national parks are warming at twice the rate of the country as a whole, according to a new report. perature, precipitation and early onset of spring because of climate change are significant concerns in four out of five national parks.

Amy Roberts, executive director of the Outdoor Industry Association, said the impact of a warming climate can be seen in receding snowfields

Escape Adventures Hut-to-Hut Project too Problematic for Local Businesses and Wildlife

by Matt CoChran

BOULDER - As an 11 year resident of Boulder, UT, a Planning Commissioner and a frequent hiker on the Aquarius Plateau I have concerns about issuing Escape Adventures a Categorical Exclusion to create a temporary hut system for their business. Please consider and address the following issues: 1. While tourism can benefit towns like Boulder, giving a non-local company a Categorical Exclusion to use the National Forest in our region for their sole commer-

cial benefit, cuts out any local benefits.

2. As well there is a limit to the amount of tourism a small town and surrounding lands can sustain without losing its rural/frontier character.

The National Monument, and Scenic Highway 12 are seeing a massive influx of people over the last years. Now to draw more people into the National Forest is one more influx. A carrying capacity needs to be established or the

The members of the Fremont Irrigation Company (FIC) voted to assess themselves to help fund the project. As near as I could piece together, the FIC puts in $1.44 million, a WaterSMART grant of about $2.5

I’d like to expand a bit on Norman McKee’s Op-Ed published in the May 12 edition of The Insider concerning large scale P-J removal (a/k/a Vegetation Management) projects in our area.

First off, I’d like to thank Mr. McKee for sharing his views with Insider readers. While he and I don’t see eye to eye on this subject, I appreciate and value his observations.

McKee wraps into his argument a number of important but undefined terms including, “restoration”, “healthy”, “historical”, “natural”, and “productive”.

Because these terms are not defined, the reader is invited to assign any meaning he or she likes to these terms, and to assume that there is no debate or controversy over the meaning of these terms in the scientific world. That is far from the case.

What do we mean when we talk about a “healthy” ecosystem? Is our focus human health, the health of all the animals and plants in the system, or about the critical energy transfer cycles that underlay all ecosystems?

The only point that we can be sure of after reading McKee’s essay is that we should not be concerned about the health

awarded to rightful owners?

Well, we are supposed to think so. If a record breaking million dollar total refund is being returned to members this year, as announced, and an "effort" is being made to locate members 32 years in the past, Garkane is trying to do the "just thing:" right?

Well, if you are gullible and easily bumped off track, the answer is yes. But, if you see a thirty year rotation still in place, as it still is, you real-

ize that an enhanced refund to locatable members also means an increased dollar amount landing in the "unclaimed capital credit account" where it is lost to members. (What would you expect with a thirty year gap in credit returns?)

The lion's share of those 4,379 member addresses, lost to Garkane, represent member capital credits doomed to be declared "unclaimed," going into a director and CEO

of existing P-J stands, or of the biota that depend on those stands.

When we invoke “history”, we can’t help but ask who's history?

Since the late 1860’s the primary focus of western land management has been on supporting and promoting public land grazing. For more than ten millennia before that, indigenous people managed the landscapes of the high plateaus with fire to promote their purposes.

Twelve thousand years ago, as the Pleistocene came to an end, vegetation in our area was vastly different than it is today. Which version of this complex history is McKee invoking, and what are his reasons for making that choice? When he talks about “restoration”, which historical period is the target?

Next up for consideration is “natural”, a word reliably invoked by every side in resource use controversies.

McKee seems to believe that P-J expansion is not “natural”, and that mastication by machine is in the interest of nature. My guess would be that as a wildlife biologist, McKee would probably agree that the expansion of a species into a new range, taking advantage of an ecological niche made

available by the disappearance of a pre-existing species, or changes in climate, is a “fundamental” natural function, a key part of basic evolutionary processes. Why does he apply a different standard to apparent P-J expansion in the last 100 years? If it were to be determined that observed P-J expansion was the inevitable result of a century of intensive cattle grazing (as may be the case), would he call for the removal of cattle?

My point is that we should all keep in mind that understanding the causes of broad landscape change across the West is a very complex and challenging task, one that demands that as a community we critically evaluate and question our own assumptions about the proper dividing line between natural and unnatural, healthy and unhealthy,

For what it’s worth, I think McKee weakened his essay by including the “ad hominem” attacks on an organization that he obviously dislikes. For those interested in a recent in-depth peer reviewed article summarizing the scientific literature on P-J removal, see, Jones, Allison, Editor.

Since last fall, I have been watching with interest the construction of a new pipeline beginning at the base of Mill Meadow reservoir. It is common knowledge that eliminating open ditches conserves water from seepage and evaporation. Having read little if anything, my curiosity took me to the internet to find out about the project.

The information that I

replace some ditches as well.

It appears that the existing river channel will suffer considerably. Water flow at the base of Mill Meadow dam will drop from 90 cubic feet per second to 2 cubic feet per second during the irrigation season. The fish population and riparian streamside would be negatively impacted if flow rates are not maintained in a way that supports habitat.

The company will be required to spill 743 ac ft annually to mitigate this loss, but it was unclear as to how this would occur. The old ditches will be filled in.

The good news is that FIC will eliminate 19 miles of open ditch, conserving about 6760 ac ft per year. Ditch maintenance and moss killer will be greatly reduced. Their distribution system will be more efficient and encourage sprinkling rather than flooding on about 100 acres. There are also “Green Power” credits to be gained as well. The FIC will enjoy a net annual benefit of about $471.000 from increased crop yields and lower maintenance. This should make the 525 shareholders happy.

What If You Owe More Than You Own?

t H e

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 repossess, 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 unpredictable and unavoidable. If this occurs, your children should know that they are not personally liable to pay your debts.

When my husband, Mark, took his beat-up pickup truck to our insurance agent for a pre-insurance inspection, the teen-age receptionist was sent to look over the truck.

Armed with a checklist and a few simple questions, she breezed through the chore.

She asked, "What are the age and make of the vehicle?"

Mark replied, "It's a '65 Ford." Apologetic about its desperate condition, he added, "It's an old fossil."

Inside, the office assistant entered the data into her computer and frowned.

"Is there a problem?" asked Mark.

"Mr. Evans, our computers have a lot of automotive data," she explained,"but it's never heard of a Ford Fossil."

Neighbors

After living in our house for four years, we were moving out of state.

My husband had backed the truck up to our garage door so that we could start loading all of the boxes.

Just then one of our neighbors came walking across the lawn carrying a plate full of muffins.

"Isn't that thoughtful," my husband said to me.

"They must have realized that we packed our kitchen stuff."

The neighbor then stuck out his hand and boomed, "Welcome to the neighborhood!"

Delivery On Demand

My normally petite wife grew extremely large during her pregnancy with our second child.

By her ninth month she had become accustomed to a lot of attention and good-natured teasing.

One day, justbefore the baby was due, she went to the post office.

Watching her waddle up to his window, the postal clerk quipped, "I'm sorry, but I don't think we can help you here."

Without missing a beat, my wife responded, "But I thought you delivered!"

Back Treatment

Suffering with a herniated disk in his back, my husband told his cousin that a well-respected doctor was treating him.

His cousinasked the name of the doctor, and on hearing it, he replied,"I never heard of him, that's a good sign."

The cousin is a medical-malpractice attorney.

She acted as a pianist and organist for services there. She also served as a Temple worker in the Billings, MT Temple.

Soon they moved to Hacienda Heights, California where they raised their family, then later moved to Whittier, California. They moved to Richfield, Utah in 1993 after retirement, then to Washington City, Utah in 2011.

FYI PanguItch

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Have you checked between your toes? I think with all of this rain, I am growing webs. I do believe the drought is over. The water is going over the dam, and we are growing mushrooms on our lawn.

This last three days of rain was great, but it really cut back on anything that you wanted to do outside. Royce Pollock said out at the park that this last storm nearly wiped out what trails that they had cleared, and the clay on the trail makes it impossible to get back to them and start over again.

I had a near death experience on Friday out at the dump.

I was taking a load of old fencing to the dump and going up the hill, my truck was getting stuck in the mud. My truck is old, and you have to get out and lock the hubs on the front wheels. By the time I got back in the cab, I was 3” taller with all the mud on my shoes. I put the truck in four wheel drive and the truck started to go sideways and I was looking to go down the hill into a big cat.

At the last second, the front wheels caught hold and pulled me to safety. I was still going sideways for a while, but I did make it. That mud is worse than snow, and that’s how it is on the trails at the Park.

The school year is winding down, and this Sunday is the Business Women of Panguitch’s Annual Senior Tea. This is a fun event for the graduates and their parents, and you get to know a little bit more about the seniors that are graduating. The Tea starts at 3:00 in the High School Auditorium.

At six, at the Panguitch Stake Center, it will be the Seminary Graduation. Kelly Holman, the Seniors Seminary Teacher, will conduct the ceremonies. Most of the Seniors that are graduating have been in Kelly’s class for four years and have worked hard for their Degree.

I hope that all of you mothers, grandmothers and great grandmothers had a nice Mother’s Day. The weather was perfect, not much wind and the temperature was not too hot or cold. We went down to Kanab and Escobar’s Mexican Restaurant and at 3:00 pm the tables were full. I told Rosa that we were going to come down on Cinco de Mayo, and she said that it was a good thing that we didn’t come.

From when they opened at 11:00am until they closed at 9:00 pm, there was a 40 minute wait. It was their biggest day in the 20 years they have had there.

Our daughter Shawn and Pat got a nice Mother’s Day gift. Teah made it back safe from Guadalajara, and she had another great experience there working with their Medical team. I get to breathe again.

Last Friday, May 10, was the 150 year celebration of the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad. It was a great moment in the United States history, ushering in a period of progress and expansion nationwide. The Presidents of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads met in remote Promontory, Utah. The final gold spike was struck at five minutes after three, on May

10, 1869.

Nearly 1800 miles of track connected our country’s coastal cities to the rural interior and opened up new markets and transformed America into a global power. The Railroad companies hired over 15,000 workers, of which 12,000 were Chinese. It is estimated that between 500 and a 1000 of these Chinese workers died on the job.

They used manual hammer drills, pickaxes and explosives, as they dug tunnels through the hard granite. They blasted and chiseled their way through the rugged Sierra Nevada mountains, some of the most difficult and dangerous work of the entire project.

Snow fell so deep that they had to build roofs over 37 miles of track, so that the supply trains could get through.

This year’s celebration was witnessed by many thousands that made their way out to Promontory Point and were treated to a fun show that was set to music and dance. The Ceremony was also broadcast on TV at 12 noon. (Much of this came from the SL Tribune May 10 edition).

Panguitch High School graduation is on Friday, May 24th this year.

Memorial Day is on the 27th, Monday. Take time to give thanks for our wonderful country, our service men and women, and those who have given their all. The cemetery is a wonderful place to visit on the weekend of Memorial Day. The flags are flying, the vet-

erans are remembered with a flag marking their graves and the flowers are new and fresh.

Poppies will be available at a few businesses in town. They will be free and donated by the Auxiliary to the Americans Veterans Association. Please wear them in honor of those who have given their all and to show support to those who have and are now serving.

Why Stress Management Strategies Work- Mental 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 Mental Strategies: MENTAL STRATEGIES 1 - Meditate – Relaxing the body through deep, controlled breathing helps fight off the physiological

symptoms of stress. In addition, feeling in control of just one thing in life—in this case your breathing—is empowering.

Meditating increases your self-awareness and helps you gain a new perspective, focus on the present and reduce negative emotions.

2 - Cultivate spirituality – Spirituality is not necessarily synonymous with being religious. It has more to do with finding purpose and context for your life through something larger than yourself. Spiritual people tend to be happier, have better mental and physical health, cope better, have more satisfying

marriages, use drugs and alcohol less and live longer (Lyubomirsky, 2007).

3 - Write – Writing is a great way to calm the chaos of life. Because writing is, by nature, highly structured, it can help you put your thoughts together in a coherent manner, helping you find meaning in your experiences. It also helps you to learn about yourself and feel in control of your life (Lyubomirsky, 2007).

4 - Think positively – According to Mayo Clinic research, positive thinking allows you to “approach unpleasantness in a more positive and productive way.” It improves your outlook on life

Mediation: What is it and Why You Should Consider it Mediation is sometimes ordered by a court, mandated in a contract clause between two parties, or required by state law. If you are going through a contested divorce or child custody modification, you are typically required to attend mediation. The Court often orders contested probate issues, business disputes, and property disputes for mediation. Also, when you sign a standard real estate purchase contract to buy or sell property it includes a mediation clause, unless there is a legal emergency.

What is mediation?

Mediation is a facilitated conversation where a neutral third party helps the opposing sides of a legal issue try to find resolution or settle the dispute. For example, if you are going through a divorce and want more parent time with your child, you may be asked to reconsider other parts of the agreement, such as increasing alimony or reducing your share of the retirement accounts.

The mediator is not a judge and does not decide the case. Instead, the mediator helps the parties understand each other’s positions and helps the parties communicate their interests. The mediator is also bound to confidentiality when speaking to a party individually. This means the mediator can only communicate to each party what the other party allows the mediator to communicate.

For example, one party

needs alimony to be $400 per month because she is getting a new car.

The mediator would share that her alimony amount needs to be $400 per month. The mediator would not share the reasoning for the increased alimony amount.

Why consider mediation? Judges are busy. Our judges in the Sevier, Wayne, Piute, and Garfield Counties, in particular, are very busy with the amount of driving they must acShe's your local lawyer! complish for each court day.

and can lead to health benefits such as greater resistance to the common cold and improved cardiovascular health.

Optimistic people often have healthier lifestyles as well.

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.

Boulder Planning

Cont'd from page 1

and will require further looking into and discussion with the town attorney. The commissioners decided to table this revision until more information is found about fire hydrants, and additionally about bonding issues.

A Public Hearing on the updated General Plan followed. The draft of the Plan, as well as a spreadsheet detailing the changes that have been made, are available on the Boulder Town website.

Updates to the General Plan began with input from the community Work Groups that met in Winter 2018. Members of the public expressed appreciation to the General Plan Revision Group, led by Josey Muse, for gathering all of this input and putting it together into a document that represents the Town.

One speaker voiced concern that zoning changes are not well-addressed in the document. They believed that more business zoning should be available. Another speaker voiced that there should be further discussion about how to prevent the creation of “minor subdivisions,” by a developer first dividing land into larger and then subsequently smaller parcels.

The Public Hearing then closed, and the commissioners began a discussion of the revisions. A desire to add graphic elements including maps and tables was expressed and agreed upon.

It was also expressed that it would be interesting to find out how the growth of tourism with the paving of Highway 12 and the later designation of the Monument has impacted not only the population in Boulder Town, but also in surrounding neighborhoods such as the Draw and Salt Gulch. This could provide a more accurate look at how much the larger area has changed.

Concerns about zoning were then discussed. While the Plan expresses the Town’s desire to maintain low density zoning, there is an adjacency allowance in the existing Zoning Ordinance that recently allowed a lot in a low density area to be subdivided

because they were adjacent to a medium density lot. This could potentially lead to more lots becoming medium and high density. It was discussed that the Ordinances should match what is expressed in the Plan. The commissioners agreed that low density zoning should remain a prerogative in the Plan, and that changes to the adjacency allowance in the Ordinance should be considered.

A motion was passed to make minor edits to the draft, including providing information about historical population data, and then send the document to the Town Council to review at their next meeting. Additionally, maps will be sought after from the County and the Rural Planning Group.

Next, the Commission discussed how to promote small-scale economic opportunities in town. The General Plan expresses the desire to promote cottage industrytype businesses with minimal impact on neighborhoods. To achieve this, options include: rezoning to create more commercial zones; spot zoning on a case-by-case basis; developing criteria in existing zones for small industry; and allowing light manufacturing in zones beyond commercial.

In the past, small-businesses proposals have come before the Town, and have been unable to move forward because of current zoning laws. Examples include the manufacturing of wood finishes, commercial-scale food production, event hosting, an animal clinic, a mechanic shop, and a distillery.

The commissioners discussed types of projects that they would not like to see in Town. Activities that involve hazardous materials which could threaten the environment, people, or water table should not be included. Activities with high levels of noise, light, or traffic should also not be included. With this in mind, one commissioner voiced that existing zones should be maintained, with light industry allowed only in commercial zones.

It was then discussed, however, that certain activities that do create light, noise, or traffic may also be great

assets for the town, such as a welding or mechanic business.

Spot zoning could allow these sorts of activities dispersed throughout town. Spot zoning could also prevent the growth of a main street of businesses geared towards tourists, and thereby help maintain the rural character of Boulder.

Spot zoning, however, also has pitfalls. If, for example, a mechanic were interested in purchasing land and offering their services in Boulder, they may want assurance before buying the property that they will be able to have their business. Rezoning is difficult and could take many months, which could preclude them from proceeding. Another issue with spot zoning is that if a residential property is rezoned to commercial for a specific purpose, it will remain commercial even if the property changes hands. This opens the door for potentially less-desirable businesses to open in residential zones. It is also possible that a light industry zone be created, or that properties be allowed to conduct light industry activities under a conditional use permit.

The Commission decided that further consideration of this topic is warranted. They will come back next month with more concrete ideas based on speaking with people in town and conducting research. The goal is to figure out how to allow economic opportunities in a way that conforms to the General Plan.

At the next meeting, the Planning Commission will review the Subdivision Ordinance and continue discussing small-scale economic opportunities.

The Planning Commission meets at the Community Center on the second Thursday of each month at 7pm.

3. By allowing one business access in this way, it sets a precedent for other national companies to apply for similar uses on the Aquarius Plateau, and soon the Dixie National Forest turns into a Moab, a town dominated by the biking industry and irrevocably changed into a resort/recre-

for wildlife? Noise also can disrupt wildlife – how would this be addressed? How is food handled in these wild areas to diminish drawing in bear and small critters?

5. The use of these “huts” and increased bike traffic on USFS roads and trails could create significant conflict with cattle, horse riders, hunters (hunting season seems especially problematic and an accident waiting to happen), fisherman, hikers and wildlife. Bicycles typically move at fast, silent speeds – unseen and unheard until the last moment - and trail erosion from large biking groups would be substantial. How will all these issues and multiple uses be balanced equitably and addressed?

6. Finally local businesses such as Boulder Outdoor Survival School (BOSS) and local guides all use the Dixie National Forest in the most minimal impact ways. Suddenly having structures and a cycling culture within their realm of operation would change the quality of the experience they offer their clients. How will you safeguard these established business atmospheres, which actually benefit the local towns and residents?

My suggestion is you deny Escape Adventures a Categorical Exclusion as it raises more problems than you or they can responsibly control. More importantly by doing this you would support the local and regional residents and towns in a way that is in alignment with the futures they are planning for.
