Garfield County Commission May 28 GARFIELD COUNTY The Garfield County Commission met Monday, May 28 with three public hearings and an agenda stretching from 10 a.m. to nearly 3 p.m.

First, Commissioners’ Board Reports: Commissioner David Tebbs said he’d like a draft of a restructured business license ordinance to be available for initial review at the June 10 meeting. … The State Tax Commission is about to roll out a new tool called Sales Online Distribution Access (the SODA system), which will create a portal through which the county can access Transient Room Tax (TRT), sales tax, dates filed, and other tax-related information. … Kane County invited him to a meeting of the East Zion Initiative, a plan to develop the east side of Zion National Park that will disperse some of the tourist traffic there. They also want to connect Bryce, Zion, Grand Canyon National Parks by a shuttle service to reduce emissions. [For a description of this project, google the YouTube of The County Seat, May 17.] …The sheriff and county search and rescue have been swamped in responding to federal lands emergency calls. Tebbs expressed thanks to those answering those calls and also to the Garfield County taxpayers who are funding them.

Commissioner Jerry Taylor attended a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) board meeting in Ogden. CDBG gives about $800K/year to communities in the Five Counties area; they’re now helping with the Garfield Commission Cont'd on page 12

Gaelynn Peterson Retires After Seven Years with USU Extension, Wayne County

Emergency Planning— Episode Twenty-Three: Wrapping Up the Big One

by Bonnie Mangold

GaeLynn Peterson is recognized for her seven years of service working with the Utah State University Extension in Wayne County.

WAYNE COUNTY GaeLynn Peterson joined the USU Extension, Wayne County, family in March 2012. Her interests included 4-H Youth Development, Strengthening Home and Family, and Health and Wellness.

One of GaeLynn’s accomplishments early in her career was bringing the State 4-H Leadermete conference to Wayne County. This event brought hundreds of 4-H employees and volunteers to Wayne County. These events have traditionally been held in the larger counties, but GaeLynn proved it could be done and done well in rural Utah. It was a huge undertaking and a significant accomplishment.

GaeLynn has also provided a sewing center that is used by the community and started a “craft and create” group that continues to meet weekly. Presently there are 35 participants learning quilting

skills and completing projects that were showcased in a community dinner on the 15th of May. Other adult classes include Community Wellness and financial assistance as well as the classes offered to adults and youth through the Food $ense program.

GaeLynn has been

awarded over $500,000 in grant money during her seven years of employment. This money has made it possible to provide a 4-H after-school program that is still going

WAYNE COUNTY - By now, if you have read the two previous episodes, you may be thinking we really don't have much to worry about relative to direct earthquake damage here in Wayne County, or for that matter in Garfield County, given that we are unlikely to experience a Big One—that is to say, a quake of magnitude 6.5 or greater. Indeed we are situated just east of the Intermountain Seismic Belt, where the big ones tend to occur; additionally the largest historical quakes in our counties are less than 6.0 in magnitude.

However if you remember the definitions from Episode 21, intensity of shaking is not the same as magnitude of a quake.

Magnitude measures the amount of energy released at the fault rupture focal point.

The intensity of shaking that you experience is of course determined in part by magnitude, but varies with your distance from the epicenter, the depth of the rupture in the earth’s crust, the type of seismic waves generated by the soil and rock through which the waves travel, and the soilmakeup under your structure, feet, or car.

The earthquake experiences I had as a child taught me that a 5.8 magnitude quake can be more damaging than a more distant and deepEmergency Planning Cont'd on page 9

Prescribed Fire Project Planned for June on Monroe Mountain RICHFIELD - The Richfield Ranger District on the Fishlake National Forest plans to conduct a prescribed fire project in mid-late June on Monroe Mountain. The project is a continuation of similar prescribed fires that have been implemented as part of the Monroe Mountain Aspen Ecosystem Restoration Project.

Park Committe Members in Teasdale Awarded with Appreciation Plaques

The purpose of this prescribed fire is to help restore aspen ecosystems on Monroe Mountain by reducing conifer competition and stimulate new aspen sprouting across the landscape. Additionally, through the use of prescribed burning, hazardous fuel accumulations will be reduced, which in turn reduces the risk to life, property and natural resources, while promoting aspen regeneration.

Prescribed fire treatments will be implemented utilizing aerial and/or hand ignition over approximately 2,200 - 4,500 acres.

ESCALANTE - Joyce Taylor arrived on Tuesday, May 28, 2019 as the new clerk at the Escalante Post Office. Though she transferred from another Postal Service position at the Santa Clara (Utah) office, Joyce is no stranger to small town life, as she is originally from Bicknell. Joyce is also no stranger to Ryan Crosier, her new boss, whom she worked with at the Salina Post Office from 2006 to 2010. Joyce has worked with the U.S. Postal Service since 2000, and says she's glad to move back to rural life. "I was ready to get out of the city and come back to a small town." Though it's not Wayne County, she says, "That's OK. There's friends everywhere." Joyce replaces Mike Lind, who transferred to a supervisory position working for the U.S. Postal Service in Cedar City.

WAYNE COUNTY - On Friday May, 24th 2019, at approximately 11:22 am Wayne County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to Miner’s Mountain Road in the Grover area.

The reporting party called 911 to report they had witnessed a plane crash.

Wayne County Sheriff’s Office requested Wayne County EMS and Wayne County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue were on standby. They, then, received further information that it was a single engine aircraft.

Witnesses stated the aircraft disappeared from their view; they heard an explosion and saw smoke.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

—Aristotle

Upon Wayne County Sheriff’s Office arrival at the crash site, a large debris field and fire were present throughout the area.

There appeared to be two occupants in the aircraft, both were found deceased.

The investigator for the medical examiner’s office responded to the scene and conducted his investigation.

The remains of the occupants will be transported to the State Medical Examiner’s Office for further investigation.

The pilot of the Cirrus SR22 was identified as Christian C. Simonsen, and the pas-

senger was identified as his wife, Lynn Ann Anderson Simonsen of Morgan Hill, California.

The investigators from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) as well as an investigator from the aircraft manufacturer were at the crash site on Saturday May 25th, 2019 and conducted their investigation to determine the nature and cause of the crash.

Any further questions should be directed to those agencies.

Big Tech is Slowly Killing Journalism

dhester/Morguefile

The loss of classified ads to Craigslist kicked off decades of advertising woes for the news business.

WASHINGTON - A movement is growing to try to save the news business by reining in the power of tech giants Google and Facebook, which together control 60% of digital advertising.

Watchdog groups accuse the companies of profiting off the work of journalists while undercutting the ad revenue that pays their salaries.

The Senate Judiciary Committee recently held a hearing on the subject of big data and privacy. Laura Bassett, a freelance journalist formerly with the Huffington Post, testified at that hearing.

She said Google and Facebook should be broken up - or at least, heavily regulated.

"They're basically a country, they're that powerful. Not only do they have the power to tip elections and control what kind of news they're putting at the top of their feeds, but they're also

killing journalists, financially," Bassett said. "So, it's just creating a real problem when one or two companies has the power to cripple the free press as we know it."

More than 2,500 reporters have been laid off so far this year. A study from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill last year found about 1,800 local newspapers have gone out of business since 2004 - 20% of the total industry. The decline began many years ago when sites like Craigslist reduced newspaper revenues by about 40% by rendering classified ads obsolete.

Freelance reporter John Stanton, formerly of Buzzfeed, also submitted testimony at the hearing. He said he sees the widespread layoffs of reporters as a threat to communities and democracy - leaving "news deserts" with little-to-no reporting on gov-

The Insider

ernment corruption and a host of local issues, positive and negative.

He urged Facebook and Google to be better corporate citizens and devise a way to ensure content providers get paid.

"While they're not governmental entities, they do have a responsibility - given that they now kind-of control the way that people consume news - to not put profits above the ability to have a vibrant, thriving news culture," Stanton said.

Brian O'Kelley, a tech entrepreneur who invented the system that underpins digital advertising, also testified at the hearing. He said big news sites should band together and stop allowing digital firms to handle their ad sales - thus forcing advertisers off Facebook and Google, and back to the news sites themselves.

"They can just click the box and turn it off and stop working with all these programmatic advertising companies," O'Kelley said. "And because it is funding some of their business right now, turning it off and switching to something else feels scary - even if it is the right decision in the medium term."

O'Kelley said part of the solution may be a federal law patterned after one in California, giving consumers the power to limit the ways websites collect their personal data and browser history.

Discovery Road — Crossing Time ROCKVILLE - In the latest episode of Discovery Road, entitled “Crossing Time,” viewers are taken across the historic Rockville Bridge in southern Utah to see efforts by residents to save the aging structure with the open air art competition that took place around the nearby ghost town of Grafton, Utah.

In 1866 Grafton was the county seat to Kane County, but a year later boundaries changed that, giving the honor to Rockville. Several intriguing stories have been discovered in and around the unique bridge and Grafton, including a German couple’s worldwide journey in an RV. There’s the bicyclist from Louisville, Kentucky, who just had to see the 1924 bridge up close and the woman from France who saw it and wanted a photo of the bridge as a souvenir.

The amazing story of the Zion Park Tunnel is then told using historic black and white photographs. There is film of the construction and 1930 dedication ceremony.

Discovery Road then takes a ride through the portal that changed how people visit national parks. The program

The tourists’ saga starts with a scrapbook discovered on eBay by a Manti woman and concludes with a book she and her husband wrote about six University of Utah girls who were selected to showcase the opening days of Zion National Park nearly a century ago.

The purpose of Discovery Road is to preserve, tell and interpret the stories and history of the Mormon Pio-

neer National Heritage Area.

Monte Bona, director of the MPNHA says, “It’s a great venue to tell these Mormon stories and it’s way to encourage people to do what people did in my day: Go on a Sunday drive and explore the area.

We hope this series will inspire people to drive our Heritage Highway and explore our heritage.”

The average attendance for the community dinners is between 70 and 140 people.

Also, through these grants, GaeLynn has been able to work closely with the school district to provide study skill classes - including preparing for the ACT, life skills classes, STEM, relationship education and tutoring. The Schools continue to use the curriculum and materials provided and GaeLynn continues to be invited to teach relationship education. The grants have also made it possible for many low income 4-H youth to attend leadership conferences, contests and camps and to participate in Healthy Living and sports clubs, summer camps, and many additional 4-H activities.

On the academic side

GaeLynn has collaborated with others to produce 7 published journal articles, and a Food $ense Youth Curriculum that was adopted by the state Food Sense program and is taught throughout the state.

She also developed “MyPlate Mania” which is a nutrition education game that is used

by NEAs across the state and by several school districts in the area. Her Discover 4-H course has been downloaded 1,903 times in 47 states and 15 foreign countries, and her two YouTube videos have over 17,000 viewers. GaeLynn has given 44 presentations across the state and region, 10 national presentations, and 4 international presentations. She has provided part time employment for 17 individuals from the County.

GaeLynn states that working with Wayne County and being part of the USU Extension family has been an incredible experience. She would like to thank everyone

for their support and friendship especially the commissioners, Mary Sorenson, Trent Wilde, Ryan Torgerson, Taunee Nelson, and all the other amazing and hardworking County personnel. She has learned so much, grown as an individual, and will miss her association with the great friends in the County and in Extension.

Her plans for the future include a lot of time spent with 28 grandchildren, working in the temple, hopefully serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with her husband and spending time at Lake Powell!

We would like to thank GaeLynn for her service and the contributions she has made to Utah State University and Wayne County, and we wish her the best in her future endeavors.

Money Tips for Students

Exit Counseling Prepares Student Loan Borrowers for Repayment by tiM Ballard

UTAH - Students who have borrowed federal loans to help pay for college and are finishing their schooling must take exit counseling to prepare for repaying those loans. That goes for student borrowers who are completing degrees, diplomas and certificates, according to KHEAA. During exit counseling, students learn about their repayment options, about deferments and forbearances,

and about what might happen if they don’t repay their loans.

The U.S. Department of Education assigns student loans to one of eight loan servicers.

Servicers not only collect payments but will also help students pick the loan repayment option that best fits students’ needs. Students should keep in touch with their servicer to make sure the repayment process goes smoothly.

KHEAA is a public, non-

profit agency established in 1966 to improve students’ access to college. It provides information about financial aid and financial literacy at no cost to students and parents.

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

Reliable broadband access, especially in rural areas with "distance education", helps to ensure that young people entering the job market can meet the demands of the future middle skill and STEM positions available.

UTAH - The job market is rapidly changing, thanks to new and emerging technologies. As a result, job training has become highly specialized, even at the high school level.

While young people living in urban and suburban communities often benefit from on-site access to the specialized education that they will need for future career success, those living in rural areas must sometimes rely on distance education to get the same training, as smaller rural schools can’t always realistically offer a wide range of specialized coursework.

With this in mind, a recent report from NTCA–The Rural Broadband Association, highlights the need for high-speed Internet access in every community nationwide to meet the demands of tomorrow’s job market.

With two job categories poised for demand, middleskill and STEM jobs, experts

say that reliable rural broadband access will help ensure that there are enough trained workers available to fill the next generation of American jobs, while also helping to expand job opportunities for a greater number of young people.

Rural broadband providers continue to play a vital role. By leveraging their networks and working closely with local educational institutions, they are providing fiber connectivity and broadband to schools in harder-to-reach

locations. As a result of these initiatives, a greater number of communities and schools can offer specialized coursework, career guidance and more to their students, helping to build local career opportunities and strengthen local economies.

Those who have directly benefitted from rural broadband echo this sentiment.

“High-speed internet service in my rural area allowed me to participate more fully in high school and gave me the chance to explore more opportunities after graduation. I am so grateful for the access it provided me, I am now actually working at a broadband company myself and plan to study business management and marketing at school,” says Devin Bryant, a young adult living and working in Abbeville, S.C. “Good service allows me to stay in my rural area near family and friends and still pursue the job opportunities I want.”

With an effort already underway by NTCA to build smart and connected rural communities, experts say you can expect to see expanded educational opportunities and strengthened local economies nationwide. To learn more about these efforts, visit ntca. org.

Access to reliable broadband is vital for today’s young people in their search for education and job training.

Estate Planning for Children with Disabilities

t H e

medical care, money, where to live, and other activities which he or she will have to carry on after you die.

Trusts are often very good mechanisms for parents of a child with a disability to use in planning for their child's financial future. A well-drafted trust can enhance the quality of life of an individual with a disability. Your trustee is legally obligated to follow your instructions.

Some parents are intimidated by the thought of having a trust because they think it is too complicated.

Parents sometimes avoid discussing the possibility of establishing a trust because they plan to leave money to their other children whom they believe will use the money to care for the child with a disability. Leaving the money outright to the other children is risky. The other children have no legal obligation to use that money for their sibling with a disability. If the other children die before the child with a disability, or get a divorce, or suffer a bankruptcy, the funds may not be used as intended. A trust can serve various purposes such as paying bills, paying for services that are provided to the child with a disability, and providing goods and services that the government will not supply. A trust can meet changing needs and circumstances.

Anchors Away

by Jeffery J. MCkenna Making an estate plan is not something that anyone looks forward to doing. It is difficult to make difficult decisions about what we want to happen to our property after we die. Parents of children with disabilities have additional apprehensions about making estate plans. These parents are anxious about their disabled child's future.

Parents worry about who will care for their disabled child, where their child will live, what services their child will need, and what can be done to protect their child's eligibility for needed services.

Parents may believe that when they die, other family members will take care of their child with a disability, despite the fact that they have never discussed this with any other family members. The size of your estate is irrelevant. What is important is that you make plans about how your resources will be used after you die. Lack of planning could have serious negative consequences for a child with a disability – whether it be a young child or an adult child.

When you meet with your estate planning attorney, you should explain the nature and severity of your child's disability to the attorney. You should be sure that the attorney understands what your child can do with respect to making decisions about

"My" I said "The headwind sure is strong, we're not moving very fast."

All of a sudden, it was less of an effort to paddle and I said, "Oh, did you decide to paddle?"

Report Card

A boy came home from school and handed his father his report card. After reading it, the father quietly affixed an X to the line reserved for the parent's signature. The boy said, "Why'd you sign it with an X Pop?" The father said, "With the grades on this report card, I'm not going to have the teacher think that the father of the student can read and write!"

Assignment

My niece's class assignment was to interview a senior citizen about his or her life, so she asked me many questions about my life. She asked about cars, wars, etc. Then she asked, "What was the biggest historical event that happened during your childhood?"

"I'd have to say the moonwalk," I replied.

She looked disappointed. "That dance was so important to you? I woulda thought you'd be too old to dance by the time that came out!"

Computer Virus

My heart sank as I read the spam that began, "By opening this e- mail, you have activated the Amish computer virus."

Then I realized that not only was my computer in jeopardy, so was my reputation, as it continued, "Since the Amish don't have computers, this works on the honor system. Please delete all your files. Thank you."

to create a legal trust. A popular trust for people with disabilities is referred to as a “supplemental needs” trust. It is wise to discuss your options with an attorney and make your choices based on what will best serve your needs and the needs of your disabled child. There may well be options that you were unaware of that may give you and your family members great peace of mind.

Sale

During lunch break a nurse was drawing some signs for her mother's yard sale.

The posters read SENIOR CITIZENS' SALE. Glancing at the sign, a passing co-worker remarked, "I'll take two if they babysit."

The very thought, to me, is damnable.

When I dine I tend to banish, Grub that even sounds like Spanish.

Food that's rolled in some tortilla Might cause gout, or diarrhea.

Back when I was in my teens, I might could handle refired beans.

Now my stomach's tender, and rounder.

Give me a spiceless quarter-pounder.

Vincent Paul Salvato PANGUITCH - Vincent Paul Salvato, 77, passed away April 17, 2019 in St George, Utah. Born April 17, 1942 in Brooklyn, NY to Peter and Marie Salvato. He is survived by his wife Bobbi, brother Nick, sister Joyann, daughter Lisa (Ken) Crow, grandchildren Cameron (Kiara),and Zoe, sons DJ (Mylee) Pittel, Ryan (Gloria) Pittel, grandchildren Justyce, Jaelee, great-grandson Xavier and numerous nieces and nephews as well as his “Panguitch family” Brandin and Brandy Hatch and their three children Dakota, Landon and Skylee.

Survived by his sister-in-law Mary Ann Salvato and former wife Pam Salvato. He is preceded in death by his mother, father and brother Joe. Vincent, known to most as, Vinny or Vince, proudly served in the United States Navy.

He also retired from 25 years in the communications industry in 1996 in Las Vegas, NV. He had a lifelong dream to own a ranch and fly fishing shop.

When he moved to Panguitch 22 years ago, this came true. He was able to realize his dream and used this as an opportunity to mentor many young people. He loved teaching them to fish or hone their skills. For some, it was their very first time with a rod in their hands.

He was a prolific artist who enjoyed oil painting, wood carving and most recently pottery.

He loved to fish and loved the beauty of nature and animals. He was a friend to many and he was fiercely loyal. He had a way of seeing people for who they are in their hearts and loving them for it. His impact will reverberate in those of us lucky enough to love him.

The family wishes to thank, the doctors, nurses, medical staff and others at IHC Dixie Hospital for the care they gave Vince and the support provided to his family.

A celebration of life will held in Panguitch, UT on June 15 at 2:00 pm, Cottonwood Meadows Lodge Pond (Former Fly Fishing Shop), Hwy 89, MM 123.

The family is asking that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made in his name to one of the following charities: Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research https://www.michaeljfox.org/ American Heart Association https://www2.heart.org/ site/SPageNavigator/donatenow_heart.html Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society https://www.nmcrs. org/

FYI PanguItch

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com This is the first week of summer here in Panguitch, with the big kick off of the Quilt Walk Festival.

Last night’s Chocolate Fest was another hit, with many of the folks showing up for some great treats and to listen to Brent Leach sing songs that you want to listen to. Santa would like to thank all of those candy makers and helpers that are needed to make this event possible. All processes go into the Sub for Santa funds.

Another fundraiser for Santa is the Pioneer home show that will take place tomorrow afternoon from 3 to 6. The homes on the tour include: 1. Roxann Daniel @ 50 W 200 S 2. Donna Marshall @ 164 N. 100 W 3. Bob & Barbara Lavender @ 161 N 100 W 4. Tom & Sally Bartsch 298E 100 N 5. Marie Bradford 665 N Main Street Tickets ($5.00) are available at the homes and PHS. Tonight is the opening night of the Quilt Walk Play, and it will have a change of venue for this year. It will be held at the Panguitch Stake building and the happenings will start at 7:00 with dinner being served and the play will start after everyone is served.

Mike Savage is directing the play this year, and we have four new quilt walkers for the show, so anything can happen.

Quilt classes start Thursday morning and run through Saturday afternoon. Close to 350 have signed up for the classes, and they are coming from all over the world. Jerilu Houston is running the show, and what an outstanding job she is doing.

Saturday morning is the famous Panguitch Lion's Club all-you-can-eat breakfast. As usual, it will be at the Zion bank, and they will be serv-

ing bacon, sausage, eggs, pancakes, orange juice, milk and coffee or tea. This is done by our friendly fellow Lions, where all funds raised at these events go right back into the town.

At 10:00 am is a tractor parade. The owners of these beauties will be out strutting their stuff. I haven’t heard if there is going to be a tractor pull after the parade or not. If they do, it will be down at the Fair Complex.

There will also be a heritage fair, behind Zions Bank.

It will be held by the old city buildings, I think that there will be a petting zoo, also. You can learn the art of making candles, soap and many items that the pioneers made just to get by. I marvel that those old storefront buildings were built twenty years ago and that they sit out in the open all winter long and they are still going strong.

These events could not come about if it wasn’t for all the good support from all of the volunteers that step up and help out. Volunteering brings a lot of joy to you and your family. Join in, get involved.

Next week, the BMWs will be here. This is their 21 years that they have been coming to town. They are a fun group that comes from all over the country to ride our wonderful sightseeing roads.

They are an interesting group, that is made up of just about all of America, and in all of these years, there hasn’t been one incident of a problem.

Today, June 6th, is the 75th anniversary of the Longest Day, D-Day the invasion of Normandy. This was the start of the end to Hitler’s terrifying hold on Europe.

Each machine will take the place of 12 employees. However, how would you like that kind of a job?

UPS is also experimenting with driverless semitrucks (are you paying attention then?). There is always a big shortage of truck drivers, and this may be a way to fix that problem.

We don’t get a lot of news around here. This is something that effects many of those with 501 savings or pay taxes. In the 6 weeks since the President slapped big tariffs on China, the stock market has gone down each week, for a loss of over 1500 points.

On Friday, he is now threating Mexico with tariffs, because they aren’t stopping the flow of immigrants from Central America. The market fell another 350 points on this news.

This move probably will stop any NAFTA agreements that the President is urging Congress to ratify. Eighty percent of our trade comes from Canada and Mexico.

Because China is our leading importer of our soy and has stopped buying it from the U.S, the President for the second time this year is bailing out the farmers with another 16 billion dollars. So much for a President that doesn’t like socialism.

Last year 62 million went to a couple of brothers who own a processing plant in Denver, they are from Brazil. They are now being tried in Brazil for confessing to bribing over 1000 officials in their country.

Guess where China is buying their soy and hogs from?

These same brothers, but from Brazil.

Many of the stores are feeling the effects of the tariffs, including the giant COSTCO company. They say that they will have to raise their prices. The ones that are hurting the most are retail clothing stores that sell products made in China. It is esti-

mated that the tariffs will cost the average family $130 dollars a year, unless they buy a washing machine or refrigerator. They have already gone up $80.00.

On the lighter side, at this year’s spelling B, it made history. With 8 contestants left, they ran out of words.

In the last 5 rounds, not one of the contestants were eliminated, so the judges declared all eight of the contestants winners.

I have really enjoyed this year’s NBA games.

Without a dominating team this year, all of the games have been close. Many of the series have gone to seven games. Finally, it is clear into June, and we are in the finals with Golden State the defending Champs playing the Toronto Raptors. This is the first time finals for the Raptors, Canada’s only NBA team. They actually won the first game, but tonight (Sunday the 2) ended up losing by 5. One thing that I notice with all of these teams is their defense, which leads mostly to the teams shooting three pointers. If they go in, they win.

We went up to our old neighbor's, Martika Barlow, graduation. This is an online school graduation and there were 150 students present and 225 graduating from all over the state. It was at the high school in Holiday, which had about a 1000 chair auditorium and most of seats were filled. There were many excellent speakers. The president of the K-12 online school was really impressive. He said that he missed the mark hundreds of times, but never failed. He said the most successful people that he had met in his life, were ones that were happy and found joy in life. Money had nothing to do with it.

If You Love Someone Callie Ward, utah state university extension assistant Professor, garfield County

This past fall, I lost someone very near and dear to my heart, my beloved grandpa.

Even as a 30-year-old, this loss was extremely hard for me and my family emotionally. But the positive side of it was my grandparents had previously set a plan and were organized

in their finances, easing the burden of their children and grandchildren during this time. Dave Ramsey says “Having a plan in place is one of the best ways to say “I Love You” to your family,” and that is one of the legacies my grandpa left.

It motivated me to get all my financial documents in order and leave the same legacy to my family.

So, what do we need to

do? I started creating my own financial binder using what USU Extension has shared in the past right after my grandpa’s funeral - it is that important to me! I’m doing this to honor my grandpa’s legacy and if you love someone, how will you honor them and why is it important to you?

If that is not enough of a reason, here are some other things to ask your self: • What can we learn from

National Park Visitor Spending Contributed $40 Billion to U.S. Economy WASHINGTON - As the summer vacation and travel seasons opens, U.S. Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt announced today that visitor spending in communities near national parks in 2018 resulted in a $40.1 billion benefit to the nation’s economy and supported 329,000 jobs.

According to the annual National Park Service report, 2018 National Park Visitor Spending Effects, more than 318 million visitors spent $20.2 billion in communities within 60 miles of a park in the National Park System. Of the 329,000 jobs supported by visitor spending, more than 268,000 jobs exist in the park gateway communities.

“This report emphasizes the tremendous impact the national parks have on our nation’s economy and underscores the need to fulfill President Trump's plan to rebuild park infrastructure,” said Secretary Bernhardt. “With 419 sites, and at least one in every state, our national parks continue to provide visitors, both local and destination, with innumerous recreational, inspirational, and world-class experiences.”

“National parks with their iconic natural, cultural and historic landscapes represent the heart and soul of

America,” said National Park Service Deputy Director P. Daniel Smith. “They are also a vital part of our nation’s economy, especially for park gateway communities where millions of visitors each year find a place to sleep and eat, hire outfitters and guides and make use of other local services that help drive a vibrant tourism and outdoor recreation industry.”

Economic benefits from visitor spending increased by $2 billion and total output increased by $4.3 billion in comparison to 2017.

As a part of the report, visitor surveys were conducted at 19 parks with the results indicating that people spent more time in the parks, stayed longer in gateway communities and spent more money during their visits.

Visitation varies across the National Park System, from big parks like Blue Ridge Parkway to Grant Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site in Montana. Blue Ridge attracted 14.6 million people who spent more than $1 billion and supported more than 15,900 jobs. Grant Kohrs Ranch drew more than 26,000 visitors who spent more than $1.5 million in the area and supported 25 local jobs.

Lodging expenses account for the largest share of

visitor spending totaling nearly $6.8 billion in 2018. Food expenses are the second largest spending area with visitors spending $4 billion in restaurants and bars and another $1.4 billion at grocery and convenience stores.

The peer-reviewed economics report was prepared by economists Catherine Cullinane Thomas and Egan Cornachione of the U.S. Geological Survey and Lynne Koontz of the National Park Service.

It includes information by parks and by states on visitor spending, the number of jobs supported by visitor spending and other statistics.

Report authors also produce an interactive tool that enables users to explore visitor spending, jobs, labor income, value added, and output effects by sector for national, state, and local economies.

Users can also view annual, trend data.

Carl Hayden Bridge Nighttime Traffic Delays June 4 through the morning of June 7

PAGE - Visitors to Glen Canyon National Recreation are advised to expect nighttime traffic delays on the Carl Hayden Bridge beginning at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, June 4 and each night through the morning of Friday, June 7, 2019.

The Carl Hayden Bridge is located on Highway 89 and crosses the Colorado River between Page, Arizona and the Carl Hayden Visitor Center. During the nighttime closure, traffic on the bridge will be restricted to one lane and drivers are advised to plan

for approximately ten-minute traffic delays. During peak travel times between 5 and 8 p.m., delays may be longer. Traffic controls will be in place to ensure an orderly flow of traffic. Drivers and pedestrians are urged to practice caution when approaching and crossing the bridge.

The nighttime delays are due to a project to make repairs to a failing inner pipe that crosses the bridge, connecting the Wahweap District of the park to the Page wastewater treatment plant.

The need for repairs was diagnosed as a result of inspections conducted during the May 6 through 10 scoping work that included night time closures. Once all the repairs are made on the sewer line, repairs at the Wahweap Fish Cleaning Station can begin and that work is expected to take approximately a week.

The park apologizes for any inconvenience the maintenance project may cause and thanks all users for their attention to safety.

er 7.7 earthquake. And, by the way, I just decided to buy earthquake insurance as my house is nestled into a cliff and close to an old fault. It's really the cliff that concerns me as I feel the house is well built to withstand the type of vertical wave and shaking that might occur here. Rock falls from the cliff are another matter.

Overall, the earthquake risk for both Wayne and Garfield counties is considered moderate: the chance of a major quake within 50 km in the next 50 years is put at 15.75% for Wayne County and at 19.72% for Garfield County.

Wayne County has had 13 recorded quakes since 1931 and Garfield has had 62. You might remember there was one near Loa in 2018, which registered as 3.5 in magnitude, with an epicenter 2.5 miles northwest of Loa. The Panguitch area has had its share of earthquakes, mostly smaller ones, which probably accounts for the higher risk level assigned to Garfield County. Keep in mind that the Sevier Valley area in the vicinity of Richfield and Marysvale has had eight earthquakes of magnitude 5 and larger, including a Big One in 1901. That quake, estimated as 6.5 in magnitude, would have caused severe shaking quite some distance away.

Buildings sway from earthquake effects, and the foundation connecting a building to the ground will influence how the effect manifests, as does the soil-makeup. Shaking is more predictable in the case of stiff soils and rock; soft, clayey soils amplify the motion. Building configuration and height also make a difference. It has been easier for engineers to cushion buildings against the more vertical waves coming through rock than the lateral movement that comes with softer soils and liquefaction.

Square and rectangular buildings survive better than irregularly shaped ones. Short buildings don’t sway as tall ones do; instead they are jarred from side to side. How long shaking continues has a major impact; most buildings can withstand a short stress, but not a lengthy one.

Steel and wood are more flexible and absorb energy better than concrete and masonry, which transfer the ground motion directly into the building. Masonry buildings without steel reinforcement are most susceptible to damage. Safeguards include the building being

This map, "clearly shows the concentration of past quakes along the I-15 and Highway 89 corridors, where most of the towns and people are. This correlation between earthquakes and population is due to the fact that surface water is found in the areas where there are faults, and settlements happen where there is water." properly connected to the foundation, and proper anchoring of roof and floors to the walls. Plywood on the exterior walls helps. Retrofitting older homes is always advised. How much shaking our Wayne County Courthouse could withstand is an unanswered question, but one of concern to commissioners and emergency personnel.

All types of infrastructure are susceptible to damage. Even though we may never experience a surface fault rupture as happens with the Big Ones, roads and bridges can still suffer damage, as well as water lines or other pipelines. At least we

don’t have overpasses, and as mentioned last episode only a small percentage of buildings actually collapse, even with large quakes. Most deaths and injuries are caused by falling items within a building, such as: bookcases, televisions, ceiling tiles and light fixtures.

Heavy furniture like desks can scoot rapidly across a room.

For these reasons much of the preparation for avoiding earthquake damage and injury is focused on securing things properly within homes: anchoring water heaters to wall studs; using flexible gas connections rather than rigid ones; securing overhead cabinet doors; hanging pictures

and mirrors on closed hooks; keeping heavy furniture away from where people sleep or sit. Other precautions include: replacing rusted water and gas pipes; knowing how to shut off gas values or having automatic shut-off valves installed; moving flammable items to low, secure areas; ensuring that vehicles can’t be blocked by falling objects.

In truth, given the sparse population in our two counties, the lack of major infrastructure, and the low probability of significant quakes, we are probably pretty immune to heavy damage due to earthquakes. Still, we have many old homes, and the most

vulnerable buildings are those wonderful, old, unreinforced masonry structures.

As far as what to do during an earthquake, I have quoted here the current advice given in various State guidelines available online or in publications from the Department of Public Safety, Division of Emergency Management. The website https:// www.utah.gov/beready/index.html is a good source for emergency information.

• If you are indoors, stay there. Get under a desk or table and hang on to it (drop, cover and hold on) or move into a hallway or against an inside wall.

Protect your head and neck with your arms. Stay clear of windows, exterior walls, fireplaces and heavy furniture or appliances.

Get out of the kitchen, which is a dangerous place (things can fall on you). If you are in bed, stay there and protect your head with a pillow. Don’t run downstairs or rush outside while the building is shaking or while there is a danger of falling and hurting yourself or being hit by falling glass or debris.

• If you’re outside get into the open, away from buildings, power lines, chimneys and anything else that might fall on you.

• If you are driving, stop carefully. Move your car as far out of traffic as possible. Do not stop on or under a bridge or overpass or under trees, light posts, power lines or signs. Stay inside your car until the shaking stops. When you resume driving, watch for breaks in the pavement, fallen rocks and bumps in the road at bridge approaches.

• If you are in a mountainous area, watch out for falling rocks, landslides, trees and other debris that could be loosened by quakes.

• If you live below a dam, know the flood-zone information and have an evacuation plan.

How we would fare, if the major supply routes into our counties were cut off due to large earthquakes in other parts of the State, is a different issue (and one I think we should be quite interested in). It is a good idea to have all those emergency supplies on hand: both the grab and go bag and the longer term shelter-in-place supplies, so that you could deal with disruptions of water, food, and power supplies in any type of emergency situation. That Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training would be very valuable too. (Just mentioning—no pressure) If you are still curious about earthquakes in Utah, there is a great earthquake map available at https://ugspub.nr.utah.gov/publications/maps/m-277.pdf.

It clearly shows the concentration of past quakes along the I-15 and Highway 89 corridors, where most of the towns and people are.

This correlation between earthquakes and population is due to the fact that surface water is found in the areas where there are faults, and settlements happen where there is water.

Escalante firetruck. Several Garfield County communities are working on low-tomoderate income housing projects, and there’s a chance CDBG could contribute $200K. … Brainstorming ideas, he and County Engineer Brian Bremner discussed turning the old Panguitch county shed, located on SW Public Health property, into a community rec center or something useful, rather than spending money to just tear it down. … He described a harrowing rescue in Death Hollow over the holiday weekend involving Tropic’s ropes crew, helicopters, and many other volunteers.

Commissioner Leland Pollock said he talked with the proprietor of Barko, who is developing a market for bug-ridden timber. The longterm goal is to stockpile logs in Panguitch for commercial grinding. … He will be meeting with the Attorney General’s office on the latest SUWA lawsuit on the Burr Trail. … A Joint Jail meeting is scheduled for June 12.

Counties want a hearing to provide information to the state on fair market value on incarceration rates. Pollock said the state’s formula for reimbursement is about half of what it costs the counties to incarcerate prisoners. …

Finally, without adding details, he alluded to “a lot of public lands issues going on right now.”

Public Works, County Engineer Brian Bremner was asked to draft the preliminary policy on acceptable use policy based on HB163, regarding use of county credit cards and other county property. The House bill takes effect on June 30, so the county needs to produce an attendant policy. The hearing is now scheduled for June 10. … The 2018 county trucks have been listed for sale.

They were used and returned for a capital cost of $25/truck for a year. The county opted to use trucks, not cars for the county fleet because of the higher resale value. … Following advertising and interviewing, the county will be hiring a new public works employee, Cody Ward, who can be moved into a variety of public works positions as needed. The commission approved offering Ward a conditional offer of employment, pending testing by DOT. Planning, Kaden Figgins: The County Commissioners approved two Conditional Use Permits. One was an annually-renewable permit to run power to an unimproved property in Panguitch Lake Falls to run a machine for breathing assistance. The

other was for a permanent permit for a flyfishing business in the Clear Creek area.

Figgins summarized the upcoming public hearing on the proposed Water Concurrency ordinance [https://www. utah.gov/pmn/files/493577. pdf ]. It suspends the moratorium ordinance and institutes requirements related to water rights, source capacity, storage capacity, infrastructure, and wastewater treatment for larger developments outside the existing developed area in the Bryce Canyon area. According to comments by Craig Smith, an attorney hired by the county, the goal of the ordinance is to make sure there is sufficient water for new growth in the Bryce Canyon area.

Public comments on the Water Concurrency ordinance included questions about specificity of language and definition of standards, retaining the focus on the Bryce Canyon area and not to all unincorporated areas throughout the county, and on the ongoing water study that won’t be completed until 2020. Following an executive session, the Commission voted to approve the ordinance. Commissioner Tebbs abstained citing conflict of interest.

After a second public hearing on a minor lot rezoning request, the Commission approved the zone change on the 10.09-acre parcel to be subdivided into an ag lot and a residential estates lot.

Finally, the county’s 150page Zoning Ordinance was due for updating, last updated in 2013. Figgins said most of the changes involved incorporating intervening ordinance updates, fixing formatting and typos, and basic editing of some of the language. Figgins said pdf files of the old ordinance and the edited version will remain online for the time being, with the approved 2019 version on the website as soon as possible. [ https://www. utah.gov/pmn/files/495155. pdf for the edited version.]

Receiving no comments during the public hearing, the Commission approved the Zoning Ordinance update.

In other business, the Commission: • Decided to extend appointment to Five Counties Human Resource rep to Jeannie Henrie. Clerk Moore see if she’s interested, and the appointment will be made.

• Approved Panguitch Booster Club funding request for summer basketball program. The club needs $3K total; the county approved $1.5K towards that amount.

• Interviewed in closed session the five persons who had applied for board po-

sitions on the Bristlecone Water Improvement District. The three individuals hired were Jerry Taylor for a two-year term, John Jacob for a four-year term, and David Amin for a fouryear term. (Commissioner Taylor abstained from that vote.)

• Heard a presentation by two reps from the Utah Local Government Trust, a public organization that provides indemnity coverage to municipalities and counties in Utah. Commissioner Pollock told the individuals the county would review the prices and options and make a decision as to changing providers when the county budget comes up for review. (The county is currently covered through the Utah Counties Indemnity Pool.)

The next agenda item was the CEO of Utah Counties Indemnity Pool, Johnny Miller.

Miller was on the agenda to discuss the Open and Public Meetings Act (OPMA) given recent questions by the commission regarding public comments. (He had not been asked to present insurance information from UCIP but was able to answer some questions about current county coverage.)

Miller said the fundamentals of OPMA are transparency and accountability and making sure the public can see and understand how the county is making its decisions. This is necessarily a “balancing act” in also being able to conduct business and protect privacy. Miller recommended, if in doubt, to provide the required notification and open a meeting. Regarding closed (executive) sessions to discuss personnel, he said the session is allowably closed only to discuss character, competency, or health of an individual. He said you cannot close a session to interview candidates for public positions, but you can close a session to discuss the candidates. Regarding notification of regular meetings, the county’s obligation is only to inform the media of a meeting. In contrast, a public hearing always requires the 10-day advance notice to be printed in the local paper as well as available online. The agenda is required to include "reasonable specificity," such that the public has a good idea of what the topics will cover. There can be no deliberation or action on items not on agenda or added as an emergency item.

Miller said most counties have decided not to allow open comment at their meetings, citing the potential for violation of OPMA: Reasons include no way for the public to know if a given topic is going

to be discussed, the potential for hearing comment prior to a quasi-judicial decision, and that courts do not favor decisions or administrative actions that seem swayed by “public clamor.” In fact, he suggested stopping a private conversation if the topic swings to an issue likely to come up later in a public hearing.

A three-member board of commissioners wears three hats— 1) legislative, when an ordinance or public policy is being created; 2) administrative, where the ordinance is applied to an action; and 3) quasi-judicial, where a case requires a ruling on an administrative action. Commissioners need to be continually aware of which role is in effect for various actions. For example, Miller said, it’s necessary to receive input when acting legislatively, in other words, making policies and ordinances. But once the ordinance or policy is enacted, the commission applies its administrative role of applying it, such as approving or denying a permit application. For those decisions, only the current ordinance can be considered, not public opinion. He said administrative meetings, such as meetings with department heads discussing purely operational items, are not required to be open meetings. The process for placing an item on the agenda needs to be publicized.

[Miller’s full presentation on OPMA is at approximately 2:28 on the meeting recording, https://www.utah.gov/ pmn/files/498707.mp3 ] The last agenda item was a discussion and clarification on current advertising contracts the county holds with Chad Booth, producer of County Seat and At Your Leisure TV shows. The county has so far paid $48K. The Commission decided to apply

June 6, 2019 $13K of that to cover minimum subscription to County Seat, and apply $35K for a half-sponsorship to At Your Leisure.

Booth went on to describe the broadcasts of At Your Leisure on the Altitude Sports Network, which reaches 5.5M subscribers. In addition, he said, next year At Your Leisure will partner with Utah State Parks to provide a permanent addition on the show for people interesting in off-highway recreation.

Booth’s cohort, Shannon Bushman, said people coming to Garfield County don't know exact trail locations, trail difficulty, or where they should park. The new project will record as many trails as possible with 360-degree video, GPS and aerial maps, and drone footage to take viewers on those trails from the comfort of their homes. He said the Travel Council has already made an investment in Rovit [https://www.brycecanyoncountry.com/rovit/ ] The plan is to plug into Rovit and take a virtual reality trip down any trail from one’s computer. The state parks will create 50 of these Rovit trail videos to start

with this year, with counties able to apply for 100 percent funding from the state.

Booth said he’s trying to plug the Burr Trail to viewers now and is looking for old video to work into a show he’s working on. He said motorized recreation is almost 2:1 over almost any other form of recreation.

The purveyors in Moab tell him the people who spend money in those communities are the people who bring toys down and stay. With this trail mapping and other elements in the Leisure program, the information is spreading so much wider: it’ll be on the air in L.A. and Los Vegas soon.

The next Garfield County Commission meeting is Monday, June 10, with a public hearing on Public Property Acceptable Use Policy scheduled for 11 a.m. You can read the proposed ordinance on the Utah Public Meeting Notice site: https://www. utah.gov/pmn/files/498643. pdf. The Commission meets the 2nd and 4th Mondays of eacgh month at 10 a.m. at the Garfield County Courthouse.
