Rise & Shine

Garfield County Commission

A Bright Spot in Panguitch

by Kelsey Keener

Insider

Rise and Shine Bakery and Inn, owned by Tabatha Hancock, is one of Panguitch's newest businesses. Opening at 6 AM daily, Rise & Shine serves up sweet and savory baked goods, coffee, smoothies, local food products, and more.

PANGUITCH –This spring a new bakery has sprouted in Panguitch, giving locals and travelers-through a new option for booting-up their mornings—and other times of day, too.

Tabatha Hancock, owner of the new Rise & Shine Bakery, says it wasn’t her initial plan to open a bakery herself, so it’s turned out to be a lucky accident for Panguitch. Han-

cock says she purchased the building—the bungalow-style old Tebbs family home next to Henrie’s Drive Inn—as an investment. Her plan was to offer the space to a friend who was going to open a coffee shop there. When her friend decided not move forward with the plan, Hancock decided to open a bakery herself.

“I had to figure out what I was going to do,” Hancock

said. “So I was like, well, I have a bakery.”

This in turn, has made Panguitch the beneficiary of a lot of creative baking geared to many different styles of eating. Rise & Shine offers a traditional variety of bakedfrom-scratch muffins and pastries, but also has plenty Rise & Shine

GARFIELD COUNTY At its May 29 meeting, the Garfield County Commission imposed fire restrictions for Garfield County in effect as of June 1. Despite the BLM and Forest Service not yet agreeing on calling for restrictions, the county approved a resolution forbidding open fires of any kind on public land other than in approved campgrounds. That includes smoking, any kind of fireworks, and use of cutting or welding tools without an approved spark arrestor.

In other business, Commissioner Taylor reported on a meeting he attended with Piute County Commissioners, Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) representatives, and executives of the former Norbest turkey processing company. A new company has taken over and the number of turkeys has been cut back nearly 60 percent, putting the future of the business in question. One of things brought up was the valuation put on that business’s buildings and barns, some of which are located between Panguitch and Marysvale, but also affecting future, similar businesses— a pig business, in particular—to be located in Garfield County.

The Commission was open to the idea of revaluing this GCC

Teasdale Park Clean-Up Day

TEASDALE - The 2018 Teasdale Park and Community Clean Up Day May 12, 2018 was a success thanks to the help of a dedicated group of 24 adults and 6 children.

Both of the roadways leading in to Teasdale received a trash pick up. And for the second year in a row: Keystone Light Beer Cans was the number 1 trash item picked up along the roadways leading into Teasdale.

The Park was tidied and the Park itself had all the trash removed, weeds pulled, chips

raked, parking blocks moved, and a new tree added - planted In Memory of Mary Elliott.

A wonderful catered/potluck lunch sponsored by Chef Pete from the Torrey Grill at 1000 Lakes RV Park and supported by delicious additions from volunteers was enjoyed by all at the end of our clean up session.

THANK YOU to the dedicated volunteers that made the day a success.

University Rover Challenge 2018

by Adus F. Dorsey ii

Adus Dorsey

Thirty-six University Rover teams competeed with prototype Mars Rovers in the desert surrounding Hanksville.

HANKSVILLE - It was high drama on the high desert at the Mars Research Station outside of Hanksville, Utah this past week. Thirtysix University Rover teams from ten countries vied for an all-expense paid trip to stay at Trump’s Mar a Largo Mansion on Mars in 2056. That is if Education Secretary Betsy Devos doesn’t cut their funding.

Forty years ago if students had shown up with the contraptions like today’s prototype rovers that were brought to the 2018 University Rover Challenge (URC), they would have been sent to the school nurse’s office for a mental evaluation. The 2018 Rovers looked like something James Anderson would have put on display at the Bicknell

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

International Film Festival (BIFF) in the 1990’s, having Al Adamson’s lovely wife Regina Carroll demonstrating it.

The rovers were required to perform a series of complicated tasks and maneuvers, like retrieving hand tools, turning on valves, gathering surface samples and—for the pranksters in the bunch— knocking over Porta Potties, all of which took place on Mars-like terrain.

Rise & Shine’s menu includes a selection of gluten-free options, too. Last week’s features included a gluten free apple pie.

The next best thing to the baked goods is the pleasant dining space, and the option to hang out in a traditional Panguitch bungalow style home, replete with hardwood floors, beautiful trim work and leaded glass.

“It’s nice to have these affirmations from people all throughout the day and I think, ‘thank goodness I have this,’” she said.

Hancock said the name for the bakery came from advice she gives to her four chil dren. When her children are not working as well as they can in school, she tells them “you always have to rise to your potential.” When they are

park employees were within a mile of where that person was ultimately found, but no one had notified the park service about the search. She said it could have potentially changed the outcome if her staff had been notified immediately, and a search could have been started. “I wanted you to be aware of that, and I will be reaching out to the sheriff,” she said. Supt. Fritzke said she welcomes the park law enforcement being deputized by the county.

Commissioner Pollock asked Supt. Fritzke about chipsealing the Garfield County portion across Capitol Reef. “This is the administration and the time to deal with it,” he said. Fritzke deferred on committing before she has more background information. She will let the attorneys know, she said.

“It's going to be a good apricot year,” she reported.

She’s also working with Wayne County on ways to reduce or manage congestion in the Hwy 24 corridor.

Finally, one of the longer topics in the commission meeting involved continuation of the Bristlecone Water District legal status and water rights issues.

Bristlecone is officially a “local independent district” founded in 1998. Of its original three board members, two have died, and the board’s current make-up and operations are the reason for an audit by Garfield County.

One legal remedy is for the county commission to assume temporary management of the independent district.

The existing entity could be dissolved and a new board installed. Existing assets and obligations would need to be transferred. Commissioner Tebbs expressed concern about the potential problems

type of business installation to provide some tax relief.

Normal process would involve the business appearing before the Board of Equalization to protest their valuation and seek remediation.

Tax relief one place means the slack needs to be taken up elsewhere.

Commissioner Taylor will be traveling to Denver June 18-19 for a feasibility study review on the Science Center. He also mentioned the poor condition of the Hole-in-the-Rock road and its signage. Commissioner Pollock said there is room for settlement on that road, and if it gets settled, the road can get paved. Taylor suggested the new system being tried out in San Juan County that costs $175K per mile rather than $1M per mile.

The time is right to seek BLM cooperation on settling the RS2477 right of way status of Hole-in-the-Rock road, said Pollock.

Appearing before the Commission as the new Superintendent of Capitol Reef National Park, Sue Fritzke reported on a variety of topics she’s handling.

One of their main projects, she said, is completing an environmental assessment on livestock grazing and trailing in the park prior to issuing permits this fall.

On another matter, Supt.

Fritzke expressed concern about the Park’s relationship with the Garfield County Sheriff’s department. She said they have a good relationship with the Wayne County Sheriff’s department, but was concerned about Garfield County. Referring to a recent suicide inside the park boundaries, she said

giving back to the community with her bakery.

“I like to give stuff away,” she said. “The locals have been sending a lot of people our way, the other restaurants refer people, people in all the shops tell people to come down to Rise & Shine. My way to give back is feeding the locals.”

Rise & Shine also offers a few locally made products, such as jams and soaps, southern Utah bee products, and hand-embroidered linens.

Hancock uses coffee from Costa Rica, and will soon be featuring specialty roasted coffees from artisan roasters, created especially for Rise & Shine.

Rise & Shine Bakery and Inn is located at 190 N Main Street in Panguitch. Regular hours are from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, and 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Thursday through Sunday.

of more water rights being awarded to Bristlecone than the existing well can actually produce. A state engineer would need to examine this, he was told. (Currently, said Commissioner Pollock, Kirk Forbush, of Utah Division of Water Rights is studying the whole plateau to see if there’s sufficient water for all current water rights holders.)

Tebbs referred to “lots of water rights transferred into the district, but there’s only one well. I don’t think it can support those.” Commissioner Pollock said Bristlecone is being audited now because of the ethics complaints. “We don’t want another special service district in Garfield County. Our desire is to dissolve the board, put ethical people back on, and allow people to keep their water.

We’re in the process of trying to fix this mess.”

(The Commission meets twice monthly, second and fourth Mondays of each month, in the Commission Chambers, County Courthouse, Panguitch.)

having trouble getting along with others, she says, “Don’t let anybody put you down, you just shine as bright as you can.” Hancock said living up to these words is good motivation for her as well.

“So rise and shine is kind of rise up and shine bright,” she said. “And that’s something I keep telling myself.

If I tell my kids they have to rise up and shine bright every day, then I need to do the same thing.”

Hancock’s children participate in helping Hancock run the bakery, and her youngest child inspired the free children’s drink: steamed milk with whipped cream. Her oldest child helps Hancock in the bakery on Fridays after school, and gets to keep any tips she makes while helping.

“We went to a rodeo and she was like ‘I need to make sure I tip them’ when she went up to get food from the concessions,” Hancock said. “Because she’s learned how hard they work back there and how excited they get over a tip.”

Memorial Day Weekend

If you stuck around Wayne County for Memorial Day weekend, you were witness to history in the making.

Let's say you didn’t know any better and forgot to buy gas before you got to Torrey on the 26th of May, well brother/ sister you weren’t alone, so did the whole of the population of Salt Lake City. As an added bonus, you could have bought a burger at the food truck while you waited your turn at the pump, but you would have had to wait in a long line there too. There were lines of folks everywhere you went. The trail to Hickman Bridge had so many people on it that somebody with a Shaved Ice trailer could have been in and out of there and made a bundle before the Rangers caught wind they were there selling refreshments without a permit.

In town you could tell who the locals were, as they were the ones standing in a line at the Chuckwagon that reached all the way down to Lanny's, a block away, wondering if they really needed a beer that badly. Some of the oblivious or mildly intoxicated were still standing there an hour or so later.

Burgers and buns were a hot item at Royal’s Foodtown prior to and during the threeday weekend. At $2.19 a pound for 20 all-beef paddies, those babies were flying out the door. With Miracle Whip on sale at $2.49, a six-pack of Mountain Dew at $1.88, and cheddar cheese Goldfishes going at 99 cents a bag you couldn’t go wrong. Even the family pet was eating good at those prices. It would be a good guess that Howard sold enough Propane on Memorial Day Weekend that he could have shot a fifty foot Motorhome all the way to the moon.

If you could have made it to Hanksville, it had to have been a zoo down there too.

Aaron Ralston of 127 hours fame might have been willing to give up his other arm just to get in somewhere to take a hot shower. Betting a dollar to a donut you can bet that Customer Service was a number one priority at every business in Hanks Town over the week-

by Adus F. Dorsey II end, and if the truth were to be known there was probably an employee pep rally complete with a catered dinner at the park Wednesday prior and you could have found Ernie first in line. Folks down Hanksville way know how to make their customers feel appreciated and want to come back just to see those smiles at the counter and gas was cheaper there than in Torrey, go figure.

Speaking of seeking good reviews, vacation rentals have become a hot item for the traveling public looking for a place to stay while on the road, and they have changed the attitude of some real sour pusses that are going after five star ratings on Yelp or any other online rating service. It seems to be a super host you better have super people skills and a background in Community Theater along with a super ego ain’t going to get it because all it takes is one slip of the tongue and your spare bedroom just went from $150 down to $25, if you can get it. On the flip side, Potpourri and new sheet and pillowcase sales are on the rise, as well as bagels and orange juice, and anyone that knows how to fold military style corners on a bed and run a Shark vacuum cleaner are in high demand. How times have changed, making a buck just isn’t what it used to be.

The cement pad for the new pavilion was poured out at Allred Point this week. At near daybreak on Wednesday, the boys from Taylor Built Construction had their rubber boots already on and cement rakes in hand for the thirtyseven yard pour. Minus his famous orange county highway vest, Rhett Jefferies was there on sight to supervise the project, and the Grundy boys were spreading mud so even that it made the job look easy to the guy standing around in Sunday shoes with a camera.

It is sad to see the Lilacs around town turn brown. Now we have to go to Loa and Fremont to smell them but that is okay because we have to go up there to buy groceries anyway.

It was the other way around for a little while, and it wasn’t uncommon to see up county folks sneaking around down county with their noses stuck

in our Lilac bushes hoping not to be recognized. For the braver ones, they didn’t seem to care and we would just wave at them while sipping our morning coffee and say how’s it going and with purple pollen on their snouts they would say fine, how about you? It is all-good because it is called community building, and we all know we could use a little more of that.

It is hot at the Mars Research Station this time of year, 98 degrees at the 2018 University Rover Challenge, which has been under way all week in Hanksville with hundreds of university students from around the world sweating and competing.

If you haven’t seen the mechanical rovers roving around the desert or at motels in Wayne County this past week, then you haven’t been out of your house for a while. The University Rover Challenge(URC) is sponsored by the Mars Society and is a robotics competition for university level students that challenge teams to design and build a rover that would be of use to early pioneers on Mars. The competition is held annually at the Mars Desert Research Station, outside Hanksville, Utah. The site was strategically selected by the Mars Society for its geographic similarity to Mars and proximity to Hanksville’s hospitality and Duke and Jessica’s good food. In addition to being a largely barren desert area, the soil in the near Hanksville has a chemical composition that is similar to Martian soil, and it is not so unusual to run into some interesting looking people too. The competition has also expanded internationally to include the European Rover Challenge, Canadian International Rover Challenge, and the Indian Rover Challenge as part of the Rover Challenge Series. The aim of the University Rover Challenge is to encourage students to develop skills in robotics, improve the state-of-the-art in rovers, and work in multi-disciplinary teams with collaboration between scientists and engineers.

2018 Escalante High School graduates from left to right: Morgan Torgerson, Klint Torgersen, Trey Phillips, Andrew Connor, Bobbie Griffin, DaKota Stowe, Chessney Steed, Jared Leavitt, and Dayson Barnson ESCALANTE - The senior class of Escalante High School was ushered into their post-high school world during commencement exercises the evening of May 23, to a full auditorium of community supporters. Nine graduates, seven young men and two young women, were honored with a guest speech by Quinn Griffin, and the audience was charmed by slide shows of the students' lives, showing their growth and progress from their earliest days to where they are today, as young adults venturing out on their own.

Commencement exercises included a glimpse of the graduates' future plans: Dayson Barn-

son plans to stay in Escalante and work on the family ranch; Andrew Connor will go to work on the family ranch and attend Snow College in the fall concentrating on heavy machinery mechanics; Bobbie Griffin plans to attend Southern Utah University in the fall and is interested in a degree in nursing; Jared Leavitt will attend Soutwest Tech and pursue a degree in the culinary arts; Chessney Steed will attend Southern Utah Univeristy in the fall; DaKota Stowe will attend Southwest Tech in the fall and is seeking ASE mechanic certification; Klint Torgersen plans to go on an LDS mission and later attend Utah Valley University and

study diesel mechanics; Morgan Torgerson plans to become a certified welder; Trey Phillips plans to stay in Escalante and work on his family's ranch.

Quinn Griffin shared many encouraging and wise thoughts for the graduates: “Don't underestimate your hidden talents; You'll need to reevaluate your heroes—sometimes the ones we pick as teenagers are not the best ones; Determine the right decision by holding it in the light, and; you'll find that happiness is where you are.”

“I congratulate you,” Griffin closed. “Good luck my friends, and some day some of you will become my leaders.”

Technical Difficulties

When Dad's satellite dish conked out, I found him on the phone with the help desk. The television set was pulled away from the wall, and he was staring at the mass of tangled wires that were spilling out the back of it. He looked absolutely overwhelmed.

"Tell you what I'm going to do," Dad said to the technician.

"I'm going to hang up now, go to college for a couple of years, and then call you back."

Birthday

Little Laina called her grandmother to sing her the Happy Birthday song, then asked, "Memère, how old are you today?"

Memère answered, "I'm 84."

Laina replied "Wow, you're getting really old!"

But then she said, "Wait, Memère, I forgot that girls don't like it when someone tells them they're getting old. I'm sorry, I meant to say, 'Wow, Memère, you're getting really big!'"

Sick Dog

When our client's dog lapped up antifreeze, the veterinarian I work for ordered a unique treatment: an IV drip mixing fluids with vodka. "Go buy the cheapest bottle you can find," he told me. At the liquor store, I was uneasy buying cheap booze so early in the day, and I felt compelled to explain things to the clerk. "Believe it or not," I said, "this is for a sick dog."

As I was leaving, the next customer plunked down two bottles of muscatel and announced, "These are for my cats."

Shorts

My husband uses scraps of wood, called "shorts,"for carving. In a lumber store, he saw some lovely pieces in a bin behind the counter.

But he had a lot of explaining to do after he asked the clerk, "Do you mind if I come around and poke through your shorts?"

My girlfriend and I were lunching at a sidewalk cafe in Huntington Beach, California.

Our waitress appeared to be a real surfer girl: athletic with a great tan and blond hair. Mulling over the menu, my girlfriend asked her if the roast beef was rare.

The waitress gave us a long blank look, and then replied, "Well, no.

We have it, like, just about every day."

FYI PanguItch

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com This week’s big event really starts off the summer season; it is the Quilt Walk Festival. The play is about the first settlement of our area and gives an idea of the hardships that the early pioneers went through. Last night was the kick off to the Festival with the Chocolate Fest (a fund raiser for the Sub for Santa program). I hope that you got your fill of the manna that our local candy makers turned out, and wasn’t Brent Leach great as usual? This is his fifth year of entertaining the Quilters. Thursday morning the quilt classes are starting, with two full days of learning everything that you wanted to know about this craft. In the evening, it will be the Quilt Walk Dinner Theater. This is the 20th anniversary of the play, and it just keeps getting better each year. Elaine Baldwin will not be directing the play this year because of illness in her family, but the show must go on.

Friday will have the same venue, except for the home tour. It will go from 3:00 to 6:00, so you can take in the dinner theater. Pat has some really great pioneer homes this year for viewing, including her own home. All funds from the tours will go to the Sub for Santa fund.

Saturday is a really busy day and it starts off with the Panguitch Lion's Club famous breakfast. It is all you can eat pancakes, bacon, sausages, eggs, this year fruit, orange juice, coffee or tea. You shouldn’t go away hungry.

The cost for 11 to 99 is $7.00, kids 6 to 10, $4.00 and 5 and under free. The breakfast will again be held at the Zion’s bank drive through. The tractor parade and pull was cancelled this year. Hopefully it will be back next year. This will give you time to go over to the high school and view all of the beautiful quilts that are on display. These quilts are truly a work of art. In the afternoon there will be at the pioneer village behind Zion's Bank, teaching skill of the pioneer way, soap and candle

making and other skills that the pioneer’s needed to survive. While you are at the Pioneer Village, walk over to the Quilt Walk Park and get a history lesson on some of the first settlers that came into our Valley. Notice the statue there, doesn’t it look a lot like me? Again there will be quilt races down Main St. Get your team ready and do a little practice beforehand; there are always prizes for the winners.

At 7 is the final closing night of the Quilt Walk play for another year.

The Quilt Walk Festival requires sooooo many volunteers; and Panguitch has the most and the best! Thank You. If you didn't volunteer this year; why not? Put it on your list of "to do's" next 2nd week in June!

A couple of days ago our daughter Kelly who lives in SLC called to tell me about all the complements that were on Facebook concerning the Flags flying out at the Cemetery on Memorial weekend.

There is one thing you can always count on; the wind is always going to blow on Memorial weekend, showing off old Glory in its finest splendor. Again, many thanks to those kind souls that came out and helped to put the flags on the Veterans final resting place. I am still working on getting more crosses made to honor each Veteran who gave part of his life to protect our country.

LaMont Olsen who works for the Bryce Canyon bus lines said that he felt that the attendance over Memorial weekend was way down from last year. He said this year, they didn’t shut down the park one time due to too much traffic. It could be many things: high gas prices, not many people coming from Europe, talk of downsizing the National Monument, not advertising the parks in Utah as much this year, who knows?

Joe Orman put on an ATV ride for the Veterans in our area and asked me to go

along. I have been coming to Panguitch or living here for 60 years and didn’t know that there is a whole world of beauty in our backyard. We went up to Smith Canyon for a hotdog lunch and then on the way back the group split up with some going home and I was treated to ride up the Sanford trail. This ride took an extra 3 hours, but it was well worth it. Larry and Johnnie Lybbert were kind enough to give me a ride in their side by side. Larry is a very skillful driver, and the tires on these vehicles must be bullet proof.

A lot of the roads are really rocky and their 4 wheeler just seemed to glide over them.

Another thing that I learned is that there is an ATV club here in Panguitch, called the Garfield Rough Riders and there are about 50 members. They go on the internet when they want to go for a ride and ask anyone that is interested to go along. This always was a setback for me getting a 4 wheeler, because I don’t want to get lost. I had a really good time, saw plenty of new scenery, thanks Joe for inviting me.

As I have stated many times before about the politicians wanting to sell off our land, don’t be a fool and go along with them. A good example is one of the ATV rides goes on a dedicated road through one of the rancher’s land out in Hatch Town. He went to our County Commissioners and complained about it and the Commissioners have closed that section of the ride. These are the same Commissioners that have been whining about the Federal Government doing the same thing.

I found an interesting article in the SLC Tribune about the release of Josh Holt from a prison in Venezuela, after being held captive for 2 years.

Josh had gone to Venezuela to marry a woman that he had met on the internet, both were Mormons and Josh had served a mission in Venezuela. His release seemed really slim, because our government refused to recognize President

Maduro's reelection.

But the arrival in Caracas of Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, led to a surprise breakthrough.

Maduro handed over both Holt and his wife; Thamara to Corker, in what his government said was a goodwill gesture to promote dialogue and mutual respect.

Holt’s release actually started months earlier when Sen. Corker’s, Latin American Policy aide, Caleb McCarry led the painstaking behind the scenes negotiations. McCarry had a 15 year relationship with President Maduro from the time they spent together in the Boston Group. McCarry secretly traveled to Venezuela in Feb. to discuss Holt’s imprisonment with Maduro and the first Lady Cilia Flores. Holding McCarry’s hand throughout the delicate talks was Rafael Lacava (AKA Dracula) a trusted ally of Maduro and was also part of the Boston Group.

Lacava traveled to the U.S. to meet with Senators Hatch, Corker, Jeff Flake and Rep. Ed Royce. All the officials agreed to discuss details of the negotiations only on conditions of anonymity. However the word of Lacava’s visit was leaked

by Sen. Marco Rubio and the administration refused to meet with Maduro’s envoy.

Marco warned that Lacava, liked his name of Dracula, which he got from driving around town in a car that looked like a Bat mobile, and he was suspected of money laundering and was dangerous.

So all negotiations stalled months ago, but Caleb McCarry didn’t give up and continued working for the two newlywed’s release.

Both Senator’s Corker and Hatch credited McCarry with leading the painstaking behind the scenes negotiations for both Holt and his bride Thamara's release.

Don't you love happy endings?

Lake Powell Fishing Report LAKE POWELL - Lake Powell continues to rise with inflow doubling outflow right now. Rising water is having a positive effect on fishing success. Bass, crappie, bluegill and sunfish all search for brushy structure.

We hope the lake level continues to rise and reaches the next plateau where a significant amount of submerged cover is created.

The most commonly caught fish right now are smallmouth bass. They love rocks! Look for them on shallow rocky points stretching out perpendicularly from the shoreline or on a rocky point where a ridge enters the water.

Bass have recently occupied another habitat which is a small isolated rock slide in the main channel or main canyon.

Look for a rock slide less than 100 yards in width with steep cliffs on either side. Bass congregate in the rocky cover with the small fish anywhere from 5 to 15 feet deep. Larger bass are deeper in the 20 to 30 foot strata. Bass are eating crayfish and small sunfish.

The best bottom bouncing baits are plastic jigs, senkos, ned rigs, shad shaped worms and chatterbaits. Square bill crankbaits are working as well. The most fun is found throwing topwater baits at low light morning and evening.

Bluegill and sunfish are biting well and can be found in the same rocky habitat shared with smallmouth bass. The slight difference is bluegill will be on a quick drop off near shore where boulders are piled up to provide the habitat needed. If tumbleweeds have floated

in and sunk near the boulders that structure is even better.

Water clarity is only 15 feet this week but that is enough to allow visual sightings of sunfish schools hanging out near shore. Once sighted these tasty fish are easy to catch if you are prepared with a live worm. Green sunfish have a large mouth for their size and really like worms. Bluegill have a small mouth so it is important to downsize the hook to a trout size of number 8 or smaller.

We caught lots of sunfish on a worm under a bobber, and on a small plastic bluegill jig on a 1/16th-ounce jig head.

Then we tried a tiny ice jig

Lake Elevation: 3,611 feet Water Temperatures: 67-74°F

with a 1/4-inch worm attached and caught sunfish like crazy.

Remember that Utah Wildlife and BYU are collecting sunfish this week at the fish cleaning stations at Wahweap and Bullfrog. If you catch a sunfish, please keep it and bring it to the cleaning station where it will be used to understand sunfish food habits and how important quagga mussels are in their diet. Please remember where the sunfish were caught and let us know that detail when the fish is turned in. You can fillet bluegill and keep the meat. The carcass and stomach is enough for the study. If you bring in a sunfish you will be entered in a fishing contest where tackle is awarded to the lucky win-

ner in a prize drawing. The prize drawing will take place after June 2, 2018 and prizes will be mailed to winners.

Catch walleye on bottom bouncers with worms, on plastic baits retrieved close to the bottom and on lures trolled across rocky points. The number of walleye caught per hour increases as you head north. Walleye are caught randomly in the southern lake but can be caught in large numbers in the north. Walleye fishing will remain good over the next three weeks.

Striped bass are in the final stages of spawning. They are randomly caught along main channel walls and in side canyons by bait fishermen, but the hotspots tend to move around each day.

Anglers are catching random stripers while trolling the shoreline, particularly where water is murky toward the back of the canyon. Yearling fish that eat plankton near the surface can be caught while trolling and casting. Stripers will come back to the surface in mid June when spawning is done and as larval shad are found near the surface.

Stripers that are missing in action now will be back in large numbers as they slurp the tiny shad near the surface. Look for striper slurps to start mid June.

On the fish report trip this week, we caught 36 bluegill and sunfish, one striper, one walleye and 40 smallmouth bass. This is a great time of year to shoot for catching a variety of species at Lake Powell.

Southern Utah’s Byways & Highway Create Regional Visitor Connections to Adventures in Recreation, Scenic Vistas, Culture and History

Regional partners meet to view full-sized draft of the panel on the brick wall at the Panguitch Visitor Center. (Left to right) Dutch Deutschlander, Chairman of Utah’s Patchwork Parkway, Shannon Eberhard and Bryan Larsen with Cedar Breaks National Monument.

PANGUITCH – Visitors will be able to more easily connect to more activities and places as they travel through Southwest Utah, as the National and State Scenic Byways and National Heritage Highway 89 unveil their new Southern Utah’s Regional Byways interpretive panel at Panguitch Visitor Center on Saturday, June 9th at 1 p.m.

The public is invited to attend the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at Panguitch Visitor Center located on Hwy. 89 at 800 North Main, where the new 4-foot by 8 foot panel will be unveiled. Deputy Chief of Staff for Governor Herbert’s Office, Michael Mower, and Garfield County Commissioner David Tebbs will be among the guest speakers.

National Scenic Byways: Scenic Byway 12 - All-American Road and Utah's Patchwork Parkway; State Scenic Byways: Zion Scenic Byway, Cedar Breaks National Monument Hwy 148, Markagunt High Plateau Hwy 14; and Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area Hwy. 89 (MPNHA) joined efforts to develop a regional Scenic Byways touring loops to connect visitors to some of Utah's most scenic, historical and recreational Adventures, as well as connecting to three National Parks: Zion, Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef; two National Monuments :Cedar Breaks and Grand Staircase Escalante, and two State Parks: Pioneer Homestead and Kodachrome Basin.

“These Byways and

Highways have come together to create this regional visitor experience by ignoring byway and county boundaries and focused on meeting the needs of the visitor who will be exploring our State,” said Nancy Dalton, Utah’s Patchwork Parkway Byway Coordinator.

The Interpretive Panel loops through the five National and State Scenic Byways with Heritage Highway 89 tying them together creating a figure eight looping route where visitors can access a variety of activities including biking, hiking, camping, fishing, ATV trails, horseback riding, wildflower viewing, wildlife viewing, scenic vistas, geological features, dark night sky viewing of stars, museums, historical sites and plenty of cultural and community festivals; as well as connecting to three national parks, two national monuments and two state parks.

“Visitors traveling through the area will recognize they are in a special place and will feel a sense of continuity and recurring themes. They will also recognize connections between residents and the heritage environment where residents create their products, conduct their tours and provide a heritage dining and lodging experience,” said Monte Bona, MPNHA Director.

Funding for this project came from a Federal Highways Administration matching grant which leverage the local byways 20% funds with 80% federal FHWA funds. This interpretive panel is the last part of

$282,695 Interpretive Master Plan project which consisted of developing an Interpretative Master Plan and three Kiosk sites with eight interpretive panels along Hwy 143 - Utah's Patchwork Parkway and an interpretive panel at Panguitch Visitor Center. Part of the Interpretive Master Plan recommended connecting with the other southern Utah National and State Scenic Byways and Utah's National Heritage Highway 89.

All five National and State Scenic Byways were all designated as State Scenic Byways in 1989 when the State of Utah created its state scenic byway program to promote unique scenic and cultural routes in rural Utah. Federal Highway Administration created a National Scenic Byway Program in 1992 called America’s Byways which included two levels of National Byway and the elite All-American Road designations.

“The panel is a great asset to our scenic byways. We hope our visitors will continue to stop and learn more about the wonderful things they can see and do along the Utah’s Patchwork Parkway, Scenic Byway 12 All-American Road as well as the rest of our area,” said Falyn Owens, Garfield County Tourism Director.

The event is free. For more information, contact Dalton at 435.463.3735.

SUU’s Community Trip to NYC For Everyone

CEDAR CITY - Explore New York City while traveling with local experts from Southern Utah University and learn more about The Big Apple while worrying less about travel and room arrangements,

SUU offers guided trips to NYC with behind-the-scenes tours, theatre performances, culture, food, and fun. getting tickets to popular plays or figuring out the subway system.

Instead, let SUU Community on the Go guide you through New York City this fall with behind-the-scenes tours, theatre performances, culture, food and fun. Trip participants will enjoy private tours in art museums, three Broadway performances and tour historical sites in Manhattan while learning from SUU travel experts.

Southern Utah Museum of Art Director Jessica Farling will lead tours of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the NYC Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art during the trip.

“We want people travel-

a private tour led by Museum Hack, a group that is truly dynamic, unusual and fun.”

Jeb Branin, executive director of experiential learning at SUU, has served as a leader to many student and community trips to London promoting world-class theatre experiences and said a theatre-based trip in the United States has always been a dream.

“My trips are theatrebased — so it made sense to add a New York trip that involved Broadway,” Branin said. “Without question, Broadway and the West End are home to the world's best English-speaking theatre.”

New York travelers will follow Branin, whose experience includes being a profes-

sor of theatre for 25 years, as he guides them through three plays. “Dear Evan Hansen,” which won five Tony Awards including Best Musical in 2017, “Come From Away,” which was nominated for seven Tony Awards, and “Kinky Boots,” Broadway's huge-hearted, high-heeled hit with music and lyrics from Cyndi Lauper are scheduled for the trip.

For those who have never been to New York, traditional sites such as the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Times Square and other historical sites are planned as well.

Community on the Go’s trip themed “The Big Apple Tour for Art and Theatre Lovers” is slated for Nov. 4-10, 2018. Other trips in 2018 include an October trip to Transylvania, Romania and Hungary taking travelers through the history of Bram Stoker’s novel “Dracula” while touring historical villas and hamlets, thermal bathhouses and forests.

And for the romantic in all of us, a December trip themed “Christmas in the Alps” will take participants through historical sites and castles of Germany and Austria during the magical holiday season.
