Brian and Misty Bown at the helm of Last Chance Drive-In. The Bowns bring a long term working partnership and passion for caring for customers to their new restaurant in Loa. LOA - Misty and Brian Bown have made a long time dream come true in starting the Last Chance Drive-In. As the definition of a mom-andpop restaurant, Misty works the front, ice cream, and drinks while Brian cooks the meals.

When things get busy, two of their three daughters, Raven and Kasha, come in to help. It’s definitely a family affair.

The dream is a bit of a compromise. Misty has wanted Brian to do a food truck for years, while he has always preferred to cook at places where customers sit down. When the chance to lease the drive-in came along it seemed like the perfect fit. It is also the first time in three or four years that they have been able to work together, as they have off and on for the

thirty years of their marriage.

The Bowns got into restaurants through a mix of necessity and desire. Necessity because when they got married at sixteen and seventeen, Brian needed to find a job in quickly so he started at Denny’s. As for the desire, Brian says that there are no set parameters for a restaurant so the workers can still be themselves. Making food is a

natural thing for him. Misty says “He likes to take care of people.

At home I never cook dinner, he always does.”

When asked why they called the restaurant the ‘Last Chance’ Brian explained that going into Torrey all the restaurants are polished and focused on tourists. The other direction

After two decades of drought and with no relief in sight, many Utahns are looking for ways to conserve water, and for many residents, part of the solution could be right in their front yard, thanks to a state program.

The Utah Division of Water Resources has joined with several local water-conservancy districts for a second year of "FlipBlitz," a process providing incentives to convert grassy lawns to water-wise landscapes.

State and local officials kicked off the second year of the program this week by demonstrating how small changes on the ground can make a big difference in water use.

Shelby Ericksen, water conservation coordinator for the Division of Water Resources, said it is a simple process.

The three winners of Garfield Memorial Hospital's 2022 Nurse Excellence Awards are Eli Menet, social worker, Kelsey McInelly, nurse, and Tierney Richards, nurse leader.

PANGUITCH - Each year, Intermountain Healthcare recognizes outstanding nurses who set an example of the best in nursing with the Intermountain Nurse Excellence Awards. Coworkers of nurses throughout Intermountain nominate candidates they would like to recognize, and then winners are chosen from those nominations. The three winners of the 2022 Nurse Excellence Awards for Garfield Memorial Hospital are Tierney Richards, nurse leader; Kelsey Mcinelly, nurse; and Eli Menet, social worker.

DeAnn Brown, PhD; Administrator and CEO of Intermountain Garfield Memorial Hospital, is also a practicing nurse, has her doctorate in nursing, and is a Certified Nurse Midwife. Nursing is in her blood, she says, and she’s grateful for the opportunity to recognize outstanding nurses.

“The theme for 2022 is Stand Together. Stand Strong,”

says DeAnn, “to reflect that as we celebrate the 2022 accomplishments of exceptional nurses and partners in excellence, it would be impossible to do so without recognizing the care and support we have also given each other during the pandemic as well as the extraordinary strength our nurses have shown. These three winners of the Garfield Memorial Hospital Nurse Excellence Awards are very deserving of this award, and I am personally so grateful to each for the excellence they have shown and continue to show every day in their work at our hospital, along with all our truly amazing nurses.”

The three Nurse Excellence Winners for 2022 for Garfield Memorial are listed below: Tierney Richards – Nurse Leader Award, RN, Medical/ Surgical Those that nominated Tierney for this award said the

At the end of my last column I posed a question: Why are male birds more colorful than females, and why do they do all the singing? You good students out there have doubtless pondered possible answers and realized things aren’t that simple.

Actually, in about 75% of resident and short-distance migrant species, the males and females look about the same, at least to our eyes. This is true of White-crowned Sparrows, Mountain Chickadees and Robins, for example. It is common for males and females of these species to share the work of defending their territory and raising young.

In some, the males do all the singing, while the female makes simple sounds to keep in contact with their mate or young. In others, like Rosebreasted Grosbeaks, the female and male both sing. The most extreme example of both sexes singing that I’ve heard is a tropical Wren that engages in

Birding Season: In our area migrant nesters began show-

ing up in late April and early May, already decked out in their finery...

I once wondered how they could arrive in such prisine condition after looking so worn and shabby at the end of last nesting season....

Birding Season

tine condition after looking so worn and shabby at the end of last nesting season. Then I visited some South American sites during the North American winter. There I saw many of our nesters feeding like mad and already looking gorgeous. Growing a whole new plumage takes a lot of energy, and these birds use abundant winter food supplies to provide that energy. They look their best when they arrive on their breeding grounds. Males arrive first to scope out, establish, and defend a breeding territory. When the females arrive, males attract them with a combination of color and sound. The females have drab plumage, which camouflages them. They are thus safer when sitting on nests or foraging. Growing less colorful feathers also saves energy that is then devoted to laying eggs and raising young.

Despite the drabness of these females, males go to great lengths to attract them.

They display colorful feathers to their best advantage—females do seem to like color.

Appearance reflects condition and the likelihood of producing healthy young. In some species, displays can be over the top. The male Bower Birds of Australia are usually colorful themselves but also build a bower (a honeymoon suite if you will) of sticks and decorate it with bits of broken glass and other objects of blue or another color.

And I’ve been privileged to watch Birds of Paradise (lots of videos on line) go through incredible contortions to display their brightest colors and other decorative feathers. Of course, there are exceptions.

In a few species such as Phalaropes and Painted Snipes, the females are the colorful ones, have louder voices and perform mating displays while the plainer males incubate the eggs and raise the young.

Sounds like a great idea!

The males of some species have other colorful body parts which can be displayed.

These can include combs (Roosters), wattles (Turkeys), and inflatable neck pouches (Sagegrouse). Even feet can be colorful, as in the aptly named Blue-footed Booby, which holds up bright blue appendages for inspection. In Grouse and Turkeys, males will also fan out their tail feathers and “dance” or strut about to show them off.

About half of all bird species are categorized as “Songbirds” because, well, they sing! They use voice to claim and define territories in lieu of physical combat and to attract females. Whereas mammals have a larynx (voice box) in mid-throat, Songbirds have a special structure called a syrinx at the base of the trachea (windpipe) where it splits to carry air to the lungs. The syrinx and trachea together squeeze outgoing air to produce sometimes extraordinary and complex sounds, like the sounds we made as kids blowing across a stretched blade

of grass. Some birds, most famously Mockingbirds, utilize multiple songs in rapid succession, and I’ve watched a Bewick’s Wren sit in one place and run through three complex songs in just a couple of minutes. There are also geographical dialects. For example, a Song Sparrow in our area may sound quite different than one in the Northwest.

Even non-Songbirds use sounds for territorial and mate-attracting purposes.

Ruffed Grouse stand on a display log to fan their wings rapidly, making a drumming sound, and some other grouse will stamp their feet. Specialized wing feathers can produce sound as air rushes through them. In Nighthawks they make a whining roar as the birds pull out of a display dive, and in Mourning Doves they make the whirring sound you hear when the birds take off. In Snipe, it’s specialized tail feathers that produce sound. And beaks can be used as noise makers. Great Horned Owls clack their beaks, and various Woodpeckers drum trees with their beaks.

Well, the notes above highlight some of the amazing things birds migrating through and nesting in southern Utah add to the wonder of spring.

There are so many others – Raptors, for example, have already paired up and produced young – but space prohibits their discussion here. Have your eyes and ears ready for the show coming soon to your town!

PHS Sports Sidelines

by Mack Oetting

What a great way to end the season in sports at Panguitch High, but with a double win at the State Track Finals. The Girls were runaway winners and with the boys it came down to the last event, the 4x400 relay. After the 200Ms race the Cats led Milford by 4 points.

Our runners left everything they had on the track, in taking second place to Bryce Valley and came away with an 8 point victory, as Milford finished 5th.

This is a team event and everyone contributed to the score.

Two really great efforts were turned in by Adelaide Englestead who joined an elite group by winning 4 gold medals. (3200,1600 ,800 and anchoring the Medley relay). Kyler Bennett, did something that I don't think has ever been done before, he won all three of the field events with a first in the shot put, discus and the javelin. What a way for one of the best athletics the Cats have had, to finish out his career.

Coach Troy Norris and his handicapping has produced another two Track Championships. This is the ninth straight year that the girls have one this Championship and with only a few seniors on the team it looks like they will have many more Championships in their future.

For many, many years Arlin Sawyer has been coaching the field events, but this year he outdid himself, due to the field events this year gave the boys the championship.

I believe that Coach Norris and his wife Ann Marie have won more than 30 Championships, between Volleyball and the Track teams and it is due to really hard work on their behalf. Thank You, Thank You!!!

Improper Estate Planning Can Spell Disaster for Children

by Jeffery J. McKenna Few tasks we attempt during our lives have a greater impact on our family than creating an estate plan. Proper planning can ensure the future of our children, whereas little or poor planning can have devastating effects on their lives.

Potentially, the worst thing you can do is to leave your property to your minor children outright. If you do, the probate court would actually control this money until your children are adults. Leaving property directly to adult children can also have pitfalls, depending on the responsibility and maturity levels of each child.

The best way to plan for minor children is by providing for them through a Common Trust. This can be created as a part of your will or trust. The trustee of the Common Trust can provide your children with as much income and principal of the trust as each child requires for his or her individual health, maintenance, support, and educational needs. The trustee can make sure that the children with the most needs are properly cared for. The Common Trust can ensure that your youngest child's basic needs are met before the assets are divided among all your children.

A typical Common Trust remains in existence until your youngest child reaches a specific age. When the Common Trust

terminates, you can then leave each child's share in his or her own Separate Trust, if desired, or allow outright distribution. Separate Trusts can call for distributions of the trust principal over time. For instance, the terms of a child's trust could provide that a child is to receive one-third of the trust share upon reaching the age of 30, one-third at age 35, and the balance at age 40. The trustee of the child's Separate Trust can be given the discretion to distribute principal and income for your child’s basic needs, as well as special needs of buying a house, or purchasing a business. If your child dies before the complete distribution of his or her trust share, you can control where the assets will then pass.

Leaving property to your children in trust as opposed to outright can protect your children from their own youth or inexperience with handling money. Many young people are overwhelmed by immediate and uncontrolled wealth, and their inheritance can prove to be a source of destruction rather than a blessing. Your child may no longer see a need to continue getting an education, to maintain good grades, or to remain employed.

With older children, their newfound wealth may provide them with too much unproductive time and independence.

They may spend too much,

quickly and unproductively.

This, in turn, can put a strain on their family life. Leaving property in trust for your children can provide them with protection from their creditors, from an unsuccessful marriage, or from constant requests for loans from relatives or friends. It can provide them with crucial asset management and investment assistance to help preserve the inheritance. The factors which need to be considered to best determine the amount of money to leave a child and in which manner are the following: His or her age, the individual’s maturity and financial savvy, and the amount of the child's own estate.

Also to be considered are the child's relationship with his or her spouse and family, the standing with creditors, and individual needs. They key to proper planning for children is not simply to leave money, but to leave money intelligently.

t H e Thanks Where Due

I was attending a benefit, and before the show began, I walked up to a man wearing fatigues.

"I just want to thank you for your service to our country," I told him.

He looked thoroughly confused, but I walked away knowing I'd done the right thing. Later, when my soldier took the stage along with a police officer, a construction worker, and a Native American, it dawned on me why he'd had a puzzled expression, I had thanked a member of the Village People.

Icy Conditions

One October, my wife and I spent a vacation on Washington's Olympic Peninsula. We were eager to visit the rain forests near the coast, but we heard that snow slides had made some of the roads impassable. Although apprehensive about the conditions we might run into, we drove on. Sure enough, we had gone only a short way up the High Rain Forest road when we saw a sign: "Ice 10 miles." Five miles farther on, there was another sign: "Ice 5 miles." The next one was, "Ice 1/2 mile." We practically crept that half-mile.

When we came to the last sign it was outside a small grocery, and it read, "Ice 75 cents."

FYI PanguItch

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com It looks like we are going to get through May without any moisture, I wish we could get something out of the north besides the cold wind. These warm days, even with the wind, are sure to be welcome.

May still has a few things to go, tonight is the High School Graduation and there will be 40 that will be receiving their diplomas. They will be off to make the world a better place.

It seems that each year the kids get better and smarter. There is a new world out there and it is run by computers of all kinds.

You don’t have to know everything now, you just Google it and there it is. Whatever your profession, or whatever you want to know.

Monday is Memorial Day and the Cemetery is really looking good. The American Legion will be putting out the Flags honoring all Veterans for their service. I have put out 4 new markers this year, but I always forget someone so give me a call and I will bring one out. Call (676-2418). Memorial Day seems to be the start of summer and the tourists start coming. The City will be holding their annual garage sale on Main St. So get out all of your items that have been drawing dust all of these years and put it up for sale. So come early and get some of the best items that you can’t live without.

Did you ever think that when you are retired you wouldn’t be getting any three day holidays or vacations or sick leave. If you are a new retiree you might want to start volunteering, all of the small towns in Utah depend heavily on volunteers. Fire Fighters, EMTs, Lion Clubs, the ATV rally, the County Fair, the Churches all need folks to help out with them.

With June comes the Quilt Walk, this is their 24th year and most of the events will still be

Bring Your Quilts on June 7th between 9 and 5 to have your quilts hung in the quilt show

on. You need to get registered for the Quilt Classes. The only event that won’t be on will be the Quilt Walk play. Elaine Baldwin took a story that Pat had heard from a fellow Professor at Fullerton College, who was a Louder and told her about the seven men who walked on Quilts to Parowan and wrote the play and directed it all these years. She retired last year with someone to take her place. Last week her replacement called and said they can’t do it. With only three weeks left it is not enough time to find another replacement. Hopefully someone will come up to do it next year. Elaine has come up with something else to entertain our quilters, so just because there is no play doesn’t mean there is not Quilt Walk entertainment.

Check it out!!! The Lions Club will be putting on their great breakfast on Saturday morning and can always use some help.

Hey you chocolate makers!!!

Don't forget the Chocolate Fest on Wednesday evening. Bring your donated chocolate food— at the middle school—and buy someone else's chocolate. Money to the Sub for Santa. April Hookham is heading the Chocolate Fest this year.. Please come and buy and bring your chocolate. We have a new musical group to entertain you!

Joe Orman who heads up the ATV Rally each year, would like to host a Veterans ride sometime in June. He did this two years ago and it is a fun ride, I did it then and will be doing it again, give Joe a call at, (477-2400) you need a cell phone.

Over the years we have lost a couple of events that brought a lot of people to town.

In the 90s the BMW riders and the Fiddlers were here for many years, but because of age and the COVID they won’t be back.

Our big event the Balloon Fest will be on, bringing thousands to town, hopefully the wind will hold off. We went 18 years without a problem, but the last 3 or 4 years the wind has cut

down on the balloon glow.

At the end of month there will be a primary, those of us that vote American (for the best person not the party) won’t get a ballot.

Every year about this time, a person that I know comes down with the Shingles and is in a real lot of pain. If you are over 50 go for a shot, it doesn’t hurt and most health insurance pays for it. You can get the shots at the drugstore. You have been eating Big Macs and hot dogs your whole life and you won’t get a shot because you don’t know what is in it!

Pat and I went up to the State Track meet at BYU. The Y also was having a baseball game and it took us an hour to find a place to park. Also they were having 1A through 6A track and field, it took forever for each event to run through each group. Read the sports to get the GREAT results. There weren’t any seats available and people were standing along the fence. They need to go back to 1A – 3A like before, there were way too many people there.

On our way up to Provo we passed by the Piute reservoir and it is down to August and September levels, it looks like the Sevier River is really down also. They have joined Lake Powell and Lake Mead in levels. For each down side of anything there is a bright side.

They are opening up many of the artifacts from Powell that have been covered up for 50 years. We went up to Rainbow Arch when the dam was filling up. It was a half mile up from the water. They have found one of the largest arches with the down water. Colorado got 4’ of snow out of the last storm; it might help with the water shortage. In Nevada they are putting pumps in place to pump water at the dam.

America, America, God shed your grace on thee and crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.

by John Mosley The Sky Report is presented as a public service by the Stellar Vista Observatory, a nonprofit organization based in Kanab, Utah, which provides opportunities for people to observe, appreciate, and comprehend our starry night sky. Additional information is at www.stellarvistaobservatory.org. Send questions and comments to John@StargazingAdventures.org.

In 2007 I was alerted to a brief meteor shower that *might* happen one night, so I went out to look – and was treated to a wonderful shower of many meteors that lasted only 20 minutes. There’s a possibility that something similar will happen again at about 11 p.m. on Monday the 30th. Again, I’ll be watching.

Meteor showers happen when the earth passes through debris shed by comets. Comets are dusty snowballs in elongated orbits around the sun; when they approach the sun and heat up, the ice evaporates (actually sublimates) and the dust frozen within the ice drifts away – to follow in the comet’s orbit. If the earth passes near the orbit of the comet that dust falls as meteors and we have a meteor shower.

Showers occur at the same time each year. Comet 73P/Schwassmann–Wachmann 3 broke up in 1995 and astronomers have been tracking clumps of material ever since. It’s not possible to predict its path precisely, but there’s a chance that the earth will encounter a clump on the 30th, and if so there could be an intense but brief meteor shower that may last as little as 15 min-

Planting a Seed: Food, Health, and Choice

Nurse Excellence: ...as we cel-

Page 8

by Ben Jackson Welcome back for another installment of Food, Health, and Choice. Reminder, my name is Ben Jackson of Ben’s Hens, and these are my own thoughts and opinions.

Last week, I mentioned that I would provide a list of some of my teachers, but I am going to push that back to another week. However, I also mentioned that I would provide a grade/rating of Wayne County farmers. It would be cruel to leave a ‘cliffhanger’ without a resolution.

Before I provide my rating, it is important to understand the context of our location and the individual locations of each farm. In general, Wayne County struggles with the following: higher elevation, shorter growing season, consistent days below freezing, microclimate within the valley, and the biggest struggle, low amount of annual rainfall.

Each one of these impacts the ability to practice Regenerative Agriculture year round. Thankfully, one of the greatest gifts provided to this valley was the construction of reservoirs and an irrigation system. God inspired those men and women who settled this valley.

Side note, when gov-

ernment and environmental groups become a part of the equation, projects often stall and fail. Case in point, look at the Hanksville Diversion.

Millions of dollars wasted and countless years lost, simply because of government regulation and extreme environmentalism. Local farmers and local construction workers have known how to resolve the Hanksville Diversion Issue for more than a decade, but government and environmental bull crap has stifled that project into a money pit. Hanksville continues to struggle simply because of bureaucracy.

Thank God there were intelligent men and women during the construction of the Fremont River Reservoirs. They had simple common sense. If they tried to construct those reservoirs with today’s bureaucracy, we would all be very, very thirsty. Sadly, some of that common sense and intelligence was lost during the construction of the Highline Pipeline and Power Plant construction, but that is a discussion for another day.

I need to get off my soapbox and stay on topic.

In order to understand my rating scale, I will provide this: Worst, Worse,

Ben Jackson operates Ben's Hens in Fremont.

Bad, Neutral, Good, Better, and Best. Obviously, Worst would be the “bottom of the barrel” for Degenerative Agriculture and Best would be the “cream of the crop” for Regenerative Agriculture.

Keep in mind, going from

In general, I believe our farmers do a good job considering the context of our area.

Good to Better is a big jump and obtaining Best is super difficult for our area.

The struggles mentioned earlier, impact the ability to practice Regenerative Agriculture year round. When I grade/rate local Wayne County Farmers, I take these struggles into account. The

general rating I would give to Wayne County farmers is GOOD. You read that correctly. In general, I believe our farmers do a good job considering the context of our area.

Some farmers do a good job and some farmers are simply terrible. There are obvious things that some of our farmers do that are definitely Degenerative, and if they chose to change, they could improve their farms. Most of them are mature adults and can decide the direction they want their farms to go. However, I am available if they want my thoughts and input.

This brings us to the end of another week of Food, Health, and Choice. I appreciate you taking the time to read and share your feedback

doctor and ask them.’ I respect very much that she does not judge any of our patients ever, she does what is best and right for them and their families.”

“Tierney has been incredible at her shared leadership role. She has created great power points to help teach us techniques which we don't encounter frequently. Tierney is a great team player. There has not been a shift where she has not offered to help another nurse with a task or ask for help if needed.”

“Tierney is a great example of shared work. She is conscious of patient loads and how her coworkers are managing their cares. Tierney connects with coworkers on a personal level as well as professional. While Tierney is a great patient advocate, she is also a great team advocate, and is always trying to find ways to make educations/ skills easier for staff, even if that means coming in on her days off. She is always willing to put forth extra effort and I want her to know it has not gone unnoticed!”

Kelsey McInelly – Nurse Award, RN, Medical/Surgical Those that nominated Kelsey for this award said the following: “Kelsey always anticipates situations, and is always prepared. She is always helping out whenever, and wherever needed. She is very organized, and always willing to help out.”

“Kelsey is an extraordinary advocate for her patients.

She makes sure that they are heard, and that they are taken care of. She will always fight for the patient.”

“One of the many things we love about Kelsey is she has so much initiative. She is always two steps ahead. She makes sure that the whole team knows that they are sup-

ported, and is so knowledgeable.” “She is always helping people learn and strive to do better. She always makes her co-workers feel loved and cared for while making sure that her patients are her first priority. She never lets a birthday, death, baby shower, anything go by without making sure that her peers are recognized and taken care of.”

Eli Menet – Social Worker, Partner in Nursing Excellence Award Those that nominated Eli for this award said the following: “Eli is the perfect example of someone who puts patient's needs first. He is consistently advocating for patients emotional and spiritual needs. He has gone above and beyond the call of duty more times than I can count.”

“I strongly believe this whole-person approach that Eli utilizes accelerates healing, both emotionally and physically.”

“Eli is fantastic at collaborating with nursing staff to provide the best care possible to patients. He checks in with the nursing staff multiple times a day, asking for patient needs, providing suggestions on improving patient comfort, what he can do to support their discharge, etc.”

“Eli is ALWAYS checking in on his co-workers emotional well-being. He is fantastic at being supportive during and after crisis situations. He recently ran a debrief for nursing staff after one of these crisis situations, and his care and empathy greatly helped with the processing of the situation.

He is an excellent addition to the Garfield Memorial staff, and we are very lucky to have him.”

Congratulations to our Garfield Memorial Hospital 2022 Nurse Excellence Award Winners!

wise landscape and converting from usually spray heads and park strips to irrigation for the plants," Ericksen outlined. "That's estimated to save 5,000 to 8,000 gallons of water per year on each of those park strips."

Ericksen pointed out park strips and other grassy areas can be hard to water efficiently, and often result in wet sidewalks and wasted water. She explained the program plans to convert more than 120,000 acres in 20 locations across the state, to demonstrate how small changes can bring big water savings.

Ericksen added while the program currently is in a demonstration mode, they are planning a major expansion later this year.

"We are actually in the process of building a statewide grass-removal program," Ericksen emphasized. "That will be rolled out in the fall in the form of rebates for residents in Utah."

"This is a voluntary program," Ericksen remarked. "It started with the Division of Water Resources, and then we've expanded to include some of our local water conservancy districts. So it's really cool that it's led by government to try to get more examples and to try to switch out their park strips."
