Fiery Furnace Marching Band to Kick off Boulder's "Music in the Park" BOULDER - It’s time to kick off summer at the first “Music in the Park” event with the Fiery Furnace Marching Band on Saturday, June 15th at 7:30pm at the Boulder Town Park.

This band is back by popular demand with the weird and wacky sound that will have everyone up dancing.

The band comes from Moab and includes Jeff Gutierrez on tenor sax, Chris Canning on tuba, Casey Lawson on trumpet, Bobby Hollahan on trombone and Ryan Barnum on snare drum.

This year they will be adding a special female guest singer for 4 or 5 songs.

Musically, their repertoire is wide including pop, hip-hop, Motown, jazz, old marching band anthems and even the occasional Balkan folk tune—but all of it is designed to get the audience up out of their chairs. Prior to their performance, local favorite, the Salt Gulch All Stars Band will get things warmed up at 6:00pm.

This event is brought to you by the Boulder Arts Council and is supported by the Garfield Travel Council and Utah Arts and Museums.

GRAND STAIRCASE-ESCALANTE - Pink Prickly Pear flowers are just one of the many bright shades one can see when driving and/or hiking around the monument. Plentiful water from a strong winter snow pack has given a lushness to this normally arid landscape, and steadily rising temperatures has amped up water flow to the surrounding watersheds.

Free Daily Dino Tours are Happening Now at Hanksville Dinosaur Quarry

WAYNE COUNTY Commissioners Blackburn, Harward and Wood were present at the beginning of the meeting, but Commissioner Harward had to leave about halfway through for a medical appointment. The first appointment was a presentation

by Matthew Mc Cune, an attorney with Magleby, Cataxinos and Greenwood of Salt Lake City. This firm is representing numerous counties in Utah in a class-action suit against several manufacturers and marketers of opioid drugs in the state of Utah. He began by comparing this suit

to the litigation against tobacco companies years ago, in which the plaintiffs were the states. When all was said and done, the states who were awarded settlements in those cases actually spent the funds on expenses such as roads and other infrastructure, rather than on the victims of tobacco addiction. In the current opioid crisis, the plaintiffs are the counties instead of the states, in the hope that the expected settlement funds will actually be spent on the Wayne Commission Cont'd on page 2

PANGUITCH - Bonding with children can help them grow up learning healthy behaviors. When children are bonded to their family, they are less likely to make decisions such as using drugs and alcohol. The social development strategy is a technique that helps kids bond with us and learn life skills that they need. They need to be taught a skill, given the opportunity to perform that skill and then given the recognition for performing the skill.

A Big, Heartfelt Thanks to all Garfield County Volunteers!!

A big, heart felt thanks to all Garfield County Volunteers!!

Recently, I was called out on an extremely late search and rescue. Four hikers, who were experiencing some issues, needed our immediate help. I received the emergency call for help around 8-8:30pm, and then the preparation began to find these individuals and get them back safely. The rescue ended around 5:00 am the following morning. I then had the opportunity to drive those four individuals back to their car, which they had previously parked near the Boulder Airport. They were all still pretty shaken up from their

ordeal, yet were extremely grateful for the efforts which had been made on their behalf.

I would personally like to thank Rick Green and Justin Porter for their dedicated service during that rescue. They did an amazing job, and I felt honored to be working with them. My heartfelt thanks also goes out to the UHP helicopter pilots who flew in to help that night, along with a gentleman from Moab who helped with extracting each individual that was in danger. Once the individuals were back on solid ground, they were checked out and taken care of by our local EMT’S. I am so grateful for each one of you!

Although I am a mem-

ber of the Search and Rescue Team in Escalante, because of my job and my duties as a County Commissioner, I don’t always get to go on most of these rescues. It is amazing to see the time and preparation that goes into each rescue. I just wanted to take the time to publicly thank all volunteers within Garfield County. Your hard work ethic and dedication does not go unnoticed, and without each one of you personally......., our county would not run efficiently.

I personally want to send a heartfelt shout out to each one of you!!!! Thank you Garfield County EMT’S, Search and Rescue, Tropic Ropes Crew, Fire Fighters,

and the Garfield County Sheriff’s office. A huge personal thank-you to Sheriff Danny Perkins, who puts in an amazing amount of time overseeing much of these programs, and making sure they each run efficiently and effectively.

Again....., thanks to all of you for providing safety for the citizens of our great county, and also safety for those who come to explore this beautiful place that we all get to call “home!”

With a heart of gratitude, Commissioner Jerry Taylor, Escalante

for family counseling, rehabilitation and associated criminal activities. This litigation seeks to relieve this financial burden.

For a number of reasons it will be advantageous for Wayne County to join with Piute, Juab, Emery, Sevier, and Summit counties in seeking relief. Combining their cases will help to provide information during the discovery phase. There are currently 7 separate suits in Utah, with Salt Lake and Utah counties filing their own suits. County Attorney Mike Olsen recommended that Wayne County join this litigation. Commissioner Wood stated that the Utah Health Department was also on board with it. Commissioner Harward moved to approve Wayne County

participating in this litigation and the motion was approved unanimously.

Next, Destiny Dasse reported on the 4-H Youth Garden near the courthouse in Loa. Wayne County is considered a “food desert.” There is a plan to create a number of raised beds, to be made available for use by those in the community who do not have facilities on their own property. The idea is to spread the concept of self sufficiency among Wayne County youth and, by extension, their families.

Next was a brief discussion of a baseball field, for which there is currently no funding. There is a field in Lyman, but it needs the right kind of dirt to promote growth of turf and a safe place for youth to play baseball. Bekkah Petreee led that discussion, as well as making a request for WIFI to be installed at the municipal swimming pool in Bicknell, as well as a request for a credit card reader to serve pool patrons who aren't carrying cash.

A bid to lease 25 acres of county land for farming near the Wayne Wonderland Airport was approved, pending the lessor's agreeing to certain stipulations regarding type of crops raised and their management. The lease will terminate

upon completion of the runway extension.

A letter describing the economic importance of livestock grazing in Wayne County was approved. It is addressed to Senators John Barrasso and Murkowski.

Barrasso (R-WY) is Chair of the Committee on Environment and Public Lands and a member of the Subcommittee for Public Lands, Forests and Mining. Murkowski (R-AK) is Chair of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee and Chair of the Interior-Environment Subcommittee.

County vehicle use by county employees was discussed briefly, and it was agreed that the issue had been adequately addressed earlier this year and needed no “adjusting.”

Support for the Wayne County Office of Tourism and tourism related projects was agreed to by all 3 commissioners.

A discussion of support for Indigent Defense for Juveniles was tabled until the next meeting. This cost has heretofore been borne by the state, but has recently been shifted to the counties.

Vouchers were approved and a closed session scheduled after lunch. Over and out from Wayne County.

Four Tips for Staying Safe in Bear Country

The Insider

courtesy utah diVision of Wildlife resources

Black bears are the only native species currently in Utah, and they have an amazing sense of smell.

SALT LAKE CITY Utah is bear country and they are amazing animals. But most of us probably wouldn’t feel comfortable coming face to face with one in our campsite. If you follow a few simple steps, you can decrease the chances of that happening and can help keep you and the bears safe.

Black bears are the only native bear species currently in Utah, and they have an amazing sense of smell. They also have no problem eating the same type of food that people eat. As a result, many of the conflicts between people and bears happen because the bears start scavenging for the food that humans are eating and cooking in the bear’s natural habitat.

“Even though they’re incredibly strong and surprisingly fast, black bears will typically do everything they can to avoid people,” Darren DeBloois, mammals coordinator for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, said.

“When a bear finds food, though, that all changes.

Once it finds food, a bear will often become aggressive toward anything it perceives as threatening the area where it found the food. That includes people.”

Here are a few simple tips to keep both you and the bears safe while you are out recreating in their territory this summer: “Bear-proof” your food Store your food, snacks and scented items (such as deodorant and toothpaste) in an area where a bear can’t get to them. Do not leave them out on tables or keep them in your tent. Storing them in a locked trailer or locking them in the trunk of your car are both good options. Storing food and scented items in these areas will reduce the chance that a bear smells them. And, if a bear does make its way to the area where you’re staying, if it isn’t rewarded with food, it will likely move on.

Keep your cooking grill clean After you’re through eat-

ing, thoroughly clean utensils and anything else that was used to prepare or eat the food.

Don’t dump oil or grease from pots or pans onto the ground.

Instead, put the oil or grease in a container, and take it home with you. By keeping your campsite or cabin area clean, you reduce the chance that a bear will smell food and trash, and be lured to your camp.

Keep your campsite clean Don’t toss food scraps and other trash around your campsite or cabin area. Instead, put it in trash bags, and take it home with you. Make sure to wipe down picnic tables and keep the area free of food and other debris. Always keep your campsite or cabin area clean because a dirty campsite can attract bears long after you’ve left.

“If a bear visits the area after you leave and then someone comes into that area to camp, you’ve created a potentially dangerous situation,” DeBloois said.

Never feed a bear This may seem like common sense, but it’s worth noting. Although bear cubs may seem cute, you should absolutely never feed one — or an adult bear for that matter.

They are wild animals and natural predators.

Once a bear loses its fear of people, wildlife biologists and conservation officers are left with something they dread: having to euthanize an animal to keep people safe.

“We got into the wildlife profession because we love wildlife,” DeBloois says. “We enjoy managing and protect-

ing animals so Utahns can get outdoors and enjoy them.

Having to euthanize an animal — because someone didn’t do something as simple as keeping their campsite clean and storing food in a secure area — is tough. Please don’t put us in that situation this year.”

What to do if you encounter a bear • Stand your ground: Never back up, lie down or play dead. Stay calm and give the bear a chance to leave.

Prepare to use your bear spray or another deterrent.

• Don't run away or climb a tree. Black bears are excellent climbers and can run up to 35 mph — you cannot outclimb or outrun them.

• Know bear behavior. If a bear stands up, grunts, moans or makes other sounds, it's not being aggressive. These are the ways a bear gets a better look or smell and expresses its interest.

• If a black bear attacks, always fight back. And never give up! People have successfully defended themselves with almost anything: rocks, sticks, backpacks, water bottles and even their hands and feet.

For more tips on staying safe around black bears, visit the DWR website and the Wild Aware Utah website. A video about bear safety is also available on the DWR YouTube channel.

Kris Phillips, a Philosophy Professor at Southern Utah University. He will be leading the Lyceum, along with Kirk Fitzpatrick.

CEDAR CITY - Every summer since 2015, Southern Utah University has planned, organized and hosted the Utah Lyceum - an outreach program providing local middle and high school students the opportunity to explore philosophy. This year's Lyceum will be held on campus from June 11 to June 15.

This free, five-day summer camp is led by SUU professors Kris Phillips and Kirk Fitzpatrick. In addition to receiving free professional instruction, students will also receive lunch each day and copies of the books of focus.

The subjects covered in this year’s Utah Lyceum will include logic, informal fallacies, John Perry’s A Dialogue on Personal Identity and Immortality, and Plato’s Five Dialogues.

“I believe that philosophy can provide a truly lifechanging experience for people who come to it with an open mind,” Phillips explains.

“Philosophical instruction is too valuable to wait until col-

lege, where it is often at best a course students take to satisfy a degree requirement.”

Throughout the camp, participants will learn the basics of formal reasoning as well as how to identify and evaluate arguments. Phillips and Fitzpatrick help participants research and develop a project to present at the end of camp to family and friends.

“Every Lyceum program is different, and we continue to develop ours as we learn from what is successful each summer,” said Fitzpatrick.

“The first year we had a small but dedicated group of eight students join us, and in our second year, we saw that number increase to 17! We hope to see that kind of growth continue in future years.”

Students who complete the Lyceum are often more likely to continue studying philosophy. Roughly 30% of the Lyceum participants go on to enroll in a university-level philosophy class. Some students have also chosen to become philosophy majors.

“I decided to study philosophy at SUU because of the Lyceum,” said SUU senior Kaleigh Bronson. Bronson attended the Utah Lyceum in 2015. “I really enjoyed the readings and discussions we had. It’s an amazing opportunity that has had a lasting impact on me and my academic career.”

For more information about the Utah Lyceum, or to enroll visit their website or contact the Utah Lyceum at utahlyceum@gmail.com.

Southern Utah University offers both a major and a minor in philosophy. Philosophy classes focus on logic, metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, political philosophy, and the history of philosophy. Students who study philosophy often enter fields of teaching, civil service, politics, and public service. For more information about philosophy at SUU, visit their website.

Choosing a Guardian for Your Children

t H e

by Jeffery J. Mckenna If you have young children, you've probably thought about who would raise them if both you and your spouse were to die. It's not an easy thing to consider. However, you can make plans now that will put your fears to rest, knowing that your children will be nurtured and cared for.

You can use your will to name the person you want to be the guardian of your children. The judge will appoint the person you nominated in your will as guardian, unless it is not in the best interests of the children for some reason.

If you do not name a guardian in your will, anyone who is interested can request to be appointed. The judge then must decide, without your opinion.

Legally, you may name co-guardians, but keep in mind that co-guardians could later go separate ways. Here are some factors to consider when selecting a guardian or co-guardians: • Is the prospective guardian old enough? He or she must be an adult, 18 years or older.

• Does your choice have a genuine concern for your children's welfare?

• Is your choice physically able to handle the rigors of child rearing?

• Does he or she have the time? The resources?

• Does he or she have chil-

dren close in age to that of your children? Is this a benefit?

• Does the guardian share your moral beliefs?

• Would your children have to move away from other family members?

If you're having a hard time selecting a guardian, talk with the people you're considering. They may not be willing or able to accept the responsibility. Their feelings about acting as guardian may help you decide.

When you and your child's other parent make your wills, you should name the same person as guardian. Otherwise, in the event of both your deaths, the court would be faced with wishes that conflict, and would have to make the choice. If you don't agree on one person, candid discussions with your potential guardians may help you reach an agreement.

Most people want their children to stay together.

However, you may have good reasons for naming different guardians for different children. In all cases, you should keep the best interests of your children at heart. In most cases a judge would grant custody to a non-parent only if the surviving parent had abandoned the child or was found to be an unfit parent for some reason.

Most people have strong feelings about how they want their children to be raised.

Merit Badges

Our grandson's scoutmaster must have fainted when he saw what he'd texted to his troop's parents: "Scouts 7:00 Sharp at the Church. We will finish up Aviation, Cycling, and Gynecology Merit Badges." That was followed by this message three minutes later: "Change of Plans. We will not be finishing up the Gynecology Merit Badge. Instead, it will be the Genealogy Merit Badge."

Now with a Panguitch Office at 46 North Main Street to serve clients in and around Garfield County. Jeffery J. McKenna is a local attorney whose practice has been focused on Estate Planning for over 20 years. He is licensed and serves clients in Utah, Arizona and Nevada. He is a shareholder at the law firm of Barney, McKenna and Olmstead.

He would enjoy hearing from you.

Your concerns may cover anything from keeping the children together to religious teachings. All of these wishes can be expressed in your will.

The decisions are difficult. In all cases, the best interests of the children come first. Selecting guardianship for your children is, in itself, a good reason to make a will.

Nothing gives greater peace of mind than knowing your children will be cared for if something were to happen to you.

Reassuring

Having long been teased about my large nose, I sought some reassurance from a friend. "Is it really that big?"

I asked.

"No, your nose isn't big," he replied. "It's just that your face is too far back."

Flying

As a nervous flyer, I was concerned when the plane bumped down three times before coming to a stop in Calgary for a short stopover.

I was seated at the back of the plane, and heard one flight attendant say to another, "Wow! That was a bad landing!"

Imagine my horror when the other flight attendant replied, "Not for him, it wasn't"

Stomach Ache

Mr. Paul Davis looked over at his wife and said, "Ever since I ate those oysters at the Legion Hall last night, my stomach's been giving me fits!"

"Were they fresh oysters?" asked Mrs. Davis.

"How would I know?" asked her husband.

"Did they smell unusual when you took them out of the shell?" asked the wife.

"OHHH... You mean I was supposed to take them out of the shell?" cracked Mr. Paul

Reality Check

A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site. A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted, "Hi, Emily! Remember me? We used to date in the secondary school."

On the way home, her millionaire husband teased her, "Luckily you married me. Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction worker." She answered," You should appreciate that you married me. Other wise, he will be the millionaire and not you."

Shower Thoughts

The first person to say the word cool must have been really cool because everyone started saying it.

FYI PanguItch

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com The Quilt Festival is finally over, and many thanks to all of those that makes this event possible. The classes were outstanding, and most of the Quilters said they couldn’t wait till next year. The Chocolate Fest was more than successful. The crowd was so big that they ran out of goodies after about an hour. However, all but about 7 late comers got their fill of the good stuff. One of the signs in the building said, “I eat chocolate for you, to give you more of me to love.” A lot of the folks stayed to listen to Brent Leach sing. He is local and is a great entertainer. A lot of work goes into decorating the wrestling room into a place that you can enjoy. Many thanks to all that helped with this endeavor.

The room looked great.

The play had been moved over to the Stake Center, and, with a whole lot of work, it really worked out well. With Elaine Baldwin’s and Mike Savage’s imagination, it was turned into a magnificent theater. Mike Savage directed the play this year and came off really well. As usual we had a new cast, with 4 new quilt walkers, and I am sure that Mike probably had an ulcer before the first night showing, but it couldn’t have been better. Everyone knew their lines, and the show was entertaining.

We got a lot of compliments from the outgoing audience.

We have had hundreds of cast members over the years, and they always come through, Elaine likes to think that each new season another new miracle happens. The only problem was Jane Excel got lost on stage and had to wait till the next scene to escape and I jumped the gun on putting out

the table on the flour scene.

Many, many thanks to Mike Savage. He is the heart and soul of the play and to take on the directing of the show this year, was really something.

Elaine, who has been directing the show for almost the twenty two years, had some family issues and hopefully will be back next year.

The Kaysville Kalico Kut - Ups quilting guild had heard about the fire at the Social Hall that had burned up the quilts there. They called Linda Olson that they had some quilts for the festival, and she went up and picked up 20 quilts from these great souls. They were used to decorate the Chocolate Fest and were really welcome.

Elaine Baldwin spent the winter having people work on quilts and buying used quilts to decorate the town and the play theater. Quilters like those in that terrible cold winter of “64” have saved the day. What great people we have.

Several people have asked about getting a memorial brick for the Quilt Walk Park. We have to have 25 bricks ordered before they will engrave them for us. If you are interested, call or contact Pat Oetting @ 690-0099 by July 25th, and, if she has 25 people interested, she will order them. By the way, this is a fund raiser for the park. It costs $100.00 / brick.

I had a thought about the Quilt Walk Festival. Twenty two years ago, the town was in a depression 16 to 18% unemployment due to the Saw Mill closing. The schools took a big hit with families moving to places where they could find work. The Main Street committee was formed and three women; Elaine Baldwin, Claudia Crump and Pat Oetting, started the Quilt Walk Festi-

val. Two years later, the Main Street committee started up the Balloon Fest, and Panguitch got out of the logging business and into the recreation boom.

With the closeness to the National Parks and things to do in our town, our location was perfect. Unemployment is down again with many of the businesses looking for help. Yes, they aren’t like the Union Jobs at the mill, but people are back to work. “Just a thought”.

Not much going on this week, but next week there is a lot of things going on. Starting off the week, it is Father’s Day. Tell him you love him or give him a kiss. He probably doesn’t need another tie.

The BMWs will be here on Wednesday to ride our great roads. They will be treated to a great Lion's Club breakfast and the Fire Fighters barbecue.

With the City using the Fair Building, I am not sure where their camping out will be this year. Probably at the Triple C arena. These guys have been coming here for the last 20 years because they feel welcome.

ON JUNE 22ND WILL BE THE FIRST ANNUAL BIG FISH CLASSIC HORSESHOE TOURNAMENT. Benj Rains has gotten the City to put in professional horseshoe pits at the Fair Grounds. These are real pits that come with clay instead of sand. These pits allow Panguitch to host National Horseshoe tournaments. On Saturday the 22nd at 10:00 am, will be the first tournament. You must be signed up by June 20th by contacting the Tournament Director (Ethan) @ 867-4915.

Adult entry fee is $20.00, $4.00 for kids. NHPA memberships are available. Everyone is wel-

come to play, groups for all skill levels. Cash awards for top finishers in each group.

There are distances for men, women and kids.

Horseshoe pitching is a great exercise. You do have to walk from one pit to another. It is like most skills. The more you do it the better you get and it is in the motion and how many time you repeat what works. Thanks, Benj.

Well the best kept secret, has come and gone. It was the filing for the City Council positions for the next Nov. elections. In the past, the City ran ads for the filings in The Insider and those filling dates were always two weeks.

From what I understand, they did run an ad about a month ago and the time was only 1 week. They do have 5 people who paid attention, filed for the position and the good news is, with 3 positions open there won’t be a primary. If you still want to run, you can run as a write in candidate, but you do have to let the City know at least a week before the election. No last minute things, or it won’t count.

The President has been out of the Country and the Stock Market responded by wiping out much of the losses over the last 6 weeks. However, the oil market has really come down, from $65.00 to $51.00 a barrel. However, don’t expect gas to come down in Utah anytime soon with summer coming up.

Utah is one of the highest priced gas in the country, at $3.13 a gallon, while nationwide it is at $2.80. Only six states are higher.

To save money, try walking or riding your bike this summer.

Starting a Financial Binder callie Ward, utah state uniVersity extension assistant Professor, garfield county

In my last article I shared how IMPORTANT it is to get your financial binder in order.

I think we get little hints everyday on WHY this is so important - Governor Gary Herbert just declared this March as Flood Safety Awareness Month, and how many earthquakes have we had now in

the past 30 days?! Today is the day we are going to start our financial binder….ok, lets say it again…TODAY is the day we are going to start our financial binder. And of course, we are not going to leave you hanging!

Starting your Financial Binder 101 First, purchase supplies.

Your Financial Binder doesn’t have to be fancy!

You’ll need: • A sturdy three-ring binder

• Dividers • Page Protectors Next label the dividers with the titles of your Financial Binder items. Here is what I suggest: • Directories • Family Records • Financial Information • Personal Property Inventory • Passwords and Combinations • Summary Once you get the physical Financial Binder assembled,

this is where we get more into the details of the who, what, where and when kind of records. That means more blog posts coming for each section!

Again, a Financial Binder provides a quick reference to your entire financial situation.

Start one TODAY. And keep in mind as you start, this is IMPORTANT stuff, store the entire Financial Binder in safe spot!

Sales Tax Reform in Utah As many of you know, the Utah Legislature highlighted sales tax reform as an agenda priority in the 2019 session. The proposed verbiage was publicly shared two weeks prior to the end of the session and many citizens and private interest groups overflowed the Legislature with opinions for and against the changes. One of the largest concerns was taxing service providers such as plumbers, electricians, realtors, accountants, and yes, lawyers.

I am one of many people with strong opinions about many things, but it’s important for all of us, regardless of our opinions, to understand facts to base our opinions upon so we can create resolutions to meet the concerns of others, both actual and perceived. So, let’s learn about sales tax so we can be informed when we express our opinions.

What is sales tax? Currently, sales tax is a compounded (added-on) tax where the state has a base rate which the county and city can add additional rates.

For instance, to sell a cup of coffee in Torrey requires a 7.01% sales tax cost but to sell a cup in Joseph is around

6.65%. However, selling grocery items is a state-wide 3% sales tax.

Sales taxes fund the State of Utah’s general fund which pays for state government services such as public safety, courts, social services, elections, air quality, and transportation. Sales tax does not fund education. Sales taxes also fund municipalities and with the transient room tax, provide budgets to county tourism offices.

Why does the state want to change sales tax? There are many reasons. Some include businesses who want “fair” taxing for services and products. Others have valid economic reasons such as the sales tax base has decreased nearly 57% while income and property tax grows. Many theories persist about the decreased sales tax revenue: online sales where tax is not collected, buying more services than goods, and increased exemptions. The other issue is how higher education is funded. The Governor’s Office of Management and Budget published an informative position statement about why sales tax should be reformed, Google “Utah Tax Reform: Why the Sales Tax and Why Now.” Should legal services be

taxed? You can probably guess my opinion is “no” for many personal and professional reasons.

But regardless of my opinion, I hope you now understand some of the issues faced by the state regarding its tax structure. I also hope you use this information to create your own informed She's your local lawyer! opinion.

What’s your opinion? have a general question about If you have opinions about the law or legal profession, changing the tax structure in please email me at megan@ Utah, the closest townhall to mustoelaw.com or call my ofGarfield, Wayne, Piute and fice at 435.610.1431.

Marie H. Niemann, Tropic Town Clerk Published in the Wayne & Garfield County Insider on JUNE 13, 2019 PUBLIC NOTICE SCOPING DOCUMENT SMALL PROJECT PROPOSAL USDA FOREST SERVICE FISHLAKE NATIONAL FOREST FREMONT RIVER RANGER DISTRICT AND DIXIE NATIONAL FOREST ESCALANTE RANGER DISTRICT FISHLAKE AND DIXIE NATIONAL FOREST BOULDER TO TORREY SCC FIBER OPTIC LINE The Fishlake and Dixie National Forests are proposing to install a fiber optic line to provide increased telecommunications service for residents and visitors of the Boulder and Torrey areas. Through a special use permit, South Central Communications (SCC) would construct, operate, and maintain this fiber optic line. The line will run along Highway 12 from Boulder to Torrey, with approximately 23 miles located on public lands managed by the Fishlake and Dixie National Forests.

The proposed line would consist of one single, non-electric fiber optic cable which would be buried 2-3 ft. deep along the road right-of-way. Treatment methods would include soil replacement and stabilization, disposal of vegetation removed during construction, and seeding disturbed ground.

During a preliminary assessment, National Forest officials find this proposal lies within categories that can be excluded from documentation and that no known extraordinary circumstances exist that preclude exclusion. The proposed action is a routine activity as defined in FSH 1909.15 Section 32.2 and fits Category 36 CFR 220.6 (e)(2): “Additional construction or reconstruction of existing telephone or utility lines in a designated corridor.”

For maps and detailed information about the project visit: www.fs.usda.gov/projects/fishlake/landmanagement/projects Public Involvement - The USDA Forest Service (USFS) is no longer required to offer notice, comment, and appeal opportunities pursuant to 36 CFR 215 or 36 CFR 218 for categorically excluded projects. However, such legislative ruling does not limit the public’s ability to comment on USFS projects and activities.

By soliciting public comments, the USFS ensures that a wide range of interests and perspectives are considered and that site-specific natural resource concerns are identified. This additionally meets the NEPA requirements for public scoping by providing an opportunity to comment prior to a decision by the responsible official.
