Boulder Planning Commission

June 2023

BOULDER - The

June 2023 Boulder Planning Commission (PC) meeting began with conceptual plans for the Owens’ Sugarloaf’n Acres, located on Lower Boulder Road. It is a current 10.1 acre lot. 5.1 acres would include the house, garden and trees. The other lot would be 5 acres. Both lots would have access to A shares and Boulder Farmstead water. Access is from Lower Boulder Road and 1700 S.

A member of the PC commented that the surveyor must consider the status of 1700 and access to Lower Boulder Road as there is a discrepancy with the UDOT map. Another member of the PC stated that if it is a private road, there will have to be an agreement between those using the road.

Following this was a presentation of conceptual plans for the Owens’ Deer Ranch subdivision, located down the 1600 Boulder Planning Cont'd on A6

TORREY - A water bill forgiveness request was the first item on the June 8, 2023, Torrey Town Council agenda. Cody Kowley had a broken pipe that he attended to immediately. The council approved the fee waiver since the request met the town’s water leak overage policy.

TORREY - When Randy and Claudia Austin took a wrong turn on their way to Lake Powell in 1973, they ventured into a cafe and rock shop on Main Street in Torrey and somehow walked out of it the

Utahns Across the State Share Their Love of Wildlife in First Celebrate Utah Wildlife Contest

Courtesy Utah Wildlife Federation Aiden Davis, age 17 of Salt Lake County, received 1st place in the "Handmade Art - Teens: Ages 12-17" category of the first Celebrate Utah Wildlife contest with his work "Lake Blanche Part I.”

UTAH - Back in March, the Utah Wildlife Federation and local artist Chris Peterson teamed up to ask Utahns to share their love for wildlife with pictures, videos, digital stories, handmade art, songs, and in writing.

“The number and quality of the entries exceeded our expectations,” said Brett Prettyman, chair of the Utah Wildlife Federation, one of the organizers for the first Celebrate Utah Wildlife contest. “I went through all the entries. It was inspirational and fun to see, read, and hear the passion for wild-

life from people across the state. We hope people had fun entering the contest...”

First place winners will each receive $250, while second place will get $150 and third $100. The contest was started as a public engagement strategy for the Utah Wildlife Walls project, an effort to create at least one larger-than-life wildlife mural on a building in all 29 Utah counties. A traveling exhibit of entries from the contest will be displayed at wildlife events around the state,

Youth Musical Theater Camp Comes to Robbers Roost; Last Week of June

TORREY - Youth musical theater camp is coming to Robbers Roost in Torrey the last week in June, with the goal of all the participants having fun and learning to work together as an onstage team.

Each age group (8-11 and 12-14) will prepare at least three songs and dances from different Broadway musicals, while learning the basics of warmups, stage techniques, vocal instruction, musical theater dance, and good stage presence. Each class will start with vocal warmups, physical warmups, and theater games. Stage techniques, like staying in character and being aware of how the body moves on stage, will be an important aspect of the classes. There will be opportunities for solos, group singing, and learning harmonies. Basic dance

Next was a very lengthy discussion over the location of the Wayne County Farmers Market. An altercation occurred on Saturday, May 27 over the closure of Center Street, but the details are unclear and were not discussed at the meeting. The farmers market was canceled June 3 and June 10 as a result of this altercation. Mayor Wright began the discussion by saying that there are definitely some issues regarding the farmers market, as well as some differences of opinion the council needs to work through. “I’d love to see it up and running Saturday [June 10, 2023],” said Mayor Torrey Council Cont'd on A3

This was the culmination of a dance class taught by Andria Rice that began in January and focused on both creative movement and classical ballet.

“I like ballet because

News from Wayne County 2023 Fort Desolation Fest

by Adus F. Dorsey

Fort Desolation Fest

is billed as a music and adventure travel festival at the gateway to Capitol Reef National Park in Torrey, Utah. An event where attendees can explore some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world by day and enjoy a star-studded music lineup by night.

For folks in Wayne County, one would think Woodstock 2023 had come to Torrey, only without the chaos and Jimi Hendrix. Ben Harper is on the playbill, and for today’s festival goers, he is nearly as big. A caravan of trucks and campers that could be seen from the craters of the moon has been streaming into Torrey all week, and stage, sound and ground crews have been setting equipment like a well-oiled machine.

Preparation for the 2023 festival has been in full swing since Fort Desolation organizers packed up all their gear last year. For weeks now, local excavation companies have been clearing grounds up

and down the dump road to the festival for the influx of campers that have been making camping reservations since last fall. By Thursday, small communities of RVs, tents and festival goers had set camp for the weekend. The horses that occupy the next field over seem to be somewhat curious but enjoying the company.

Fort Desolation has partnered with Cougar Ridge Resort for the festival, and according to the information from Cougar Ridge, the resort and surrounding area is as unique as its stunning landscapes. The land was purchased in 1989 from Don Cook, a local Torrey, Utah resident and mayor of the town. Its main purpose was originally for farming, but it’s now home to one of the most luxurious ranch resorts in Utah.

True to their word, Fort Desolation organizers have a crack staff that has thought of everything one can think of to make the event something to talk

Thalia Barsch also enjoyed performing. “I really liked dance class with Andria,” she said, “She’s a really good teacher; she helped me relearn everything. I loved doing the performance; it was hard to be in front of everyone. But I really enjoyed it anyway!”

“Dance helps you express yourself,” said Chloe Salstrom. “It gives you so much energy, makes your day, and makes you smile. It also makes the people who watch it smile. This made my day,” she continued.

The audience was, indeed, very full of smiles as

the dancers performed both numbers choreographed by Rice and numbers that were self-choreographed to music that stretched from instrumentals to Kids Bop.

“It’s been so fun, and I want to thank my mom and everyone who helped set up,” said Carmen Rice.

“These dancers have all been so dedicated and focused that I want to offer more classes next year,” said Andria Rice. She is hoping to raise funds to purchase enough portable barres to support all of the kids attending classes. A substantial amount was raised in a donation jar at the event. “Our goal is feeling more and more attainable,” she said. For anyone interested in making a donation, email andria.rice11@gmail.com for more information.

about for generations.

On a tour through the festival facility, e-bikes whizzed by directing campers to designated spots, two way radios cracked instructions, drones were flying overhead and security staff the size of the Hulk, and just as jovial, were providing much sought after information to the facilities. Everything and everyone present had a place. Vendors were busy setting up banners for their wares, food trucks were lined up ready to feed the multitudes, Brigg Blackburn’s platoon of port a potties were all standing at attention and Wayne County’s dedicated team of EMTs were dressed for success and standing by. Volunteers had their instructions and were like an army of ants making sure everything was in order.

River View Drive, the road to the venue, was transformed into a line of directional signs and staff guiding visitors to camping and parking areas where shuttles, running like clockwork, were moving people to the concert grounds, a

system that worked so well you would think they were workers enlisted from Disneyland.

As part of the Fort Desolation Fest tour, Wayne County officials were informed that all sales taxes received from tickets and vendor sales will go to Wayne County. In an act of community support, Fort Desolation and Cougar Ridge is dedicated to enlisting and hiring as many local volunteers and festival staff as humanly possible.

If the Fort Desolation festivities were not enough, Jim Major, ukulele virtuoso and all around good guy (not to be confused with the famous ukulele instrumentalist and Hawaiian Israel Kamakawiwoʻole,), as well as a slew of other ukulele handlers, descended on Torrey for a ukulele workshop / participation series over the weekend.

Wayne County and the summer 2023 is happening. If you are so inclined, enjoy all the festivities and certainly all the wide open spaces that Wayne County has to offer. Buy and support local.

Chuckwagon: The Chuckwagon is the longest operating business by

it the Wayne Wonderland Mercantile, selling everything from horseshoes to fabric for dressmaking.

Bill’s claim to fame was peeling off the bark from the red cedar posts that still hold up the porch across the front of the Chuckwagon.

“It was not a fun job,” says Bill. He was only 14 or 15 years old at the time, but today, at 85, he’s proud that they’re still holding up the porch roof.

in 1973, she says it was just a rock shop with a cafe in the front and a few hotel rooms and RV spots in the back. The Austins initially kept the business open year round but, considering how slow the winter months were, Randy had to travel away from Torrey to find work to pay the bills.

Sheri says her father was a well-known Torrey Town character. “He had a big personality. Huge,” she says. She describes her mother as much quieter than her father. Claudia worked at the Chuckwagon until the early 1980s but then left the store management to Randy to become a nurse. All the Austin kids worked at the Chuckwagon growing up stocking shelves, cleaning rooms, and scrubbing toilets. “We still scrub toilets,” says Sheri.

After Randy passed

away in 2015, Sheri decided she needed to become a bigger part of the Chuckwagon. She now runs the deli, her husband, Mike Clark, manages the store, her brother, Jamie Austin, runs the motel and his wife, Jeri Austin, does everything else that needs doing. It’s a true family-run business.

The Chuckwagon has changed a lot over the years says Sheri and so has Torrey. The Austins added on the hotel, put in a swimming pool, added several cabins, and built the deli. Sheri says it wasn’t that long ago that one person could run the entire store and motel and also have the time to read the newspaper on the counter. The days of the Chuckwagon being a small operation are long gone, and they now have nineteen employees split between the store, deli, and hotel.

Other than a few family ranches, “The Chuckwagon is the longest operating business by a single

family in Torrey,” says Jamie, but its history stretches even farther back. Randy Austin wasn't the first colorful character the Chuckwagon building attracted over the years.

Bill Inglesby was initially devastated at the idea of leaving all his friends behind and moving to Torrey. It was 1949, and his father had just purchased the store from Boyd Black. The Inglesbys had been vacationing in the Captiol Reef area since the early 1940s, lured in part by stories told by their uncle Doc. Arthur Leroy “Doc” Inglesby was a retired dentist turned rockhound who became an early advocate for Capitol Reef National Park.

“It was awful,” says Bill about the condition of the building when his father bought it. The septic was leaking, the upstairs apartment was infested with mice, and everything smelled terribly. Bill says his father put a lot of work into the place and renamed

About his time in Torrey, Bill says that despite his initial hesitation, he looks back fondly at his teen years in Torrey. “It was the best thing that ever happened to me,” says Bill. He stayed involved with the store until he got married in 1960, and his family eventually sold the mercantile to Lavoy Tolbert in 1964, who eventually sold the store to two bright-eyed hippies in 1973, and the rest is Chuckwagon history.

“We were fortunate enough to see it gradually get to where it is today,” says Sheri when asked if she thinks the Chuckwagon will remain in the Austin family for another fifty years. “Both of our family’s kids have worked here but have gone on to do other things,” she says. Although we can’t be guaranteed another fifty years of Austin’s Chuckwagon, we can be certain that the blinking yellow lights at the Chuckwagon won’t be fading anytime soon.

Council: An altercation that occurred during the May 27 Wayne County Farmers Market and a possible new location for the market discussed.

Wright.

Councilmember Jordan Pace then took the floor to express his concerns over the farmers market. “I do not agree with putting it where it is,” said Pace given the number of complaints he said he has received. Pace expressed displeasure that Center Street was blocked off at 2:49 p.m. on May 27, 2023, when the market runs from 4-6 p.m. and that no detour signs were up on Main Street.

“My job is to look out for Torrey residents and businesses,” said Pace.

Mayor Wright said he agrees that there is a safety issue. Regarding the trial road closure, he says, “It did not work, we won’t close it, we’ll figure something else out.” He also acknowledges that the town made a commitment to the vendors and needs to honor the agreement.

Councilmember Pearl Thorndal-Stewart said she agrees that there are safety concerns. She suggested that the farmers market move to the Town Park between the Town Hall and post office. Councilmember Pace expressed concern that holding the farmers market at the park would block off parking for the post office, fire station, and pavillion. He says he would like to see the farmers market move to a private location.

Councilmember Pat Kearney suggested that, in the short term, the farmers market continues to be held on Center Street with conditions that there needs to be some sort of traffic control in place. The council put it to a vote to continue the farmers market in the current location with volunteer pedestrian controllers and ropes to keep pedestrians away from traffic with the agreement to find a new space as soon as a possible. The motion passed with Councilmembers Pace and Robinson voting against it.

Then the council reviewed a request by representatives of the Entrada Institute for a variance due to a setback issue on their new construction project. Mayor Wright suggested the town not issue a variance for this request but rather classify it as non-conforming use. The council passed a motion to classify this issue as nonconforming.

Next Allison Moist requested a business license for her work with WILD (Wilderness Individual Leadership & Development). Moist explained that it is a home based business for setting up trips and assured the council that clients will not be staying at private homes. The council grant-

What is "Step-Up in Tax Basis"?

"Cost basis" is a term unfamiliar to most. Estate planning lawyers and accountants use it a lot, but what does it mean?

Cost basis is used to describe the original cost of an asset. It is used to determine the taxable gain on the sale of that asset. For instance, if you purchased a parcel of vacant real estate in 1970 for $50,000, your cost basis in the property is $50,000. If you sell the unimproved parcel of land for $150,000 (its fair market value), your taxable gain would be $100,000; the sale price less the cost basis ($150,000 - $50,000 = $100,000). You would therefore be subject to capital gain tax on $100,000.

In situations where property is used for business purposes, the cost basis must be reduced by the depreciation taken against the property during the period of business use.

When you give an asset away during life, the recipient of the gift assumes your original cost basis. For example, if a father gave his son the real

estate we discussed above, the son's cost basis would also be $50,000. If the son likewise sold the property for $150,000, he, too, would have a taxable gain of $100,000.

Now, I am going to explain an often unexpected benefit in the tax code. If you leave an asset to someone upon your death, the recipient receives what is referred to as a step-up in basis. The step-up in basis is the fair market value of the asset on the date of the decedent's death (or on the date six months after death if the alternative valuation date is used).

Using the previous example, if the father died and left the property to his son upon his death, the son would receive a step-up in basis in the property, which would be the $150,000 fair market value. If the son subsequently sold the property he inherited from his father for its fair market value of $150,000, the son would have no taxable gain. This is a great result!

We can learn a lesson from this article. Many people give away assets to

Time really flies. Half of the year is almost over, and there is so much to do. Oh well, there is always next year. Our river looks like it is slowing down and has passed its flood stage, but it is still running full.

The Panguitch Quilt Walk Festival was glorious, from the opening night of the Chocolate Fest to the last showing of the Quilt Walk play. April Hookham did a great job with decorations for the Chocolate Fest. It brought in record crowds, and they were spending money on taking home some of the great chocolate. It was a fun evening, with entertainment to go along with great food. April did a great job getting everything just right. Thank you so much; it brought in a lot of money for the Sub for Santa program.

The quilting classes started off with a record enrollment of 405, and they were having a lot of fun. I caught the end of the trunk show, and the woman that was doing the program was sure good with her displays. I looked for a spot to sit down, and all of the seats in the auditorium were full, so I sat on the steps. At the end, some of the women displayed the quilts that they had made in the classes that they had taken.

to the festival for 15 or 20 years. Friday night was the biggest night of the Quilt Walk play, which was before a very large crowd who seemed to really like the play. This was Elaine Baldwin's 25th year of putting on the play. She worked with Cheryl Church, and they cut down the length of the story without losing the story line. With only three of us with previous play experience, Elaine did a great job recruiting young people that were in her and Cheryl's drama class at the high school. Every one of them were outstanding and really knew their parts. Little Lottie really spoke up and was a joy to watch. Cheryl really made the play a success with her singing, and she took many of the parts. One of the things that I do is called "the square dance," and when the play was over, a great woman came up and asked me if I was a professional square dance caller. I should have told her "yes." I have done it once a year for 25 years. The next night was sold out, and they just kept adding chairs to get more people in. When the people left, they were very complimentary of the show, and commented that it was a great way to tell the story.

On Saturday night, it was the final show and was a sad time for me. Elaine Baldwin has called it a cut. She did that two years ago, but came back for one last

Some of the actors didn’t show up for rehearsal or didn’t know their parts, but come opening night, the play always came off great. I do think that, with all of the new actors and Cheryl and the shorter play, this was the best show of those 25 years. I appreciate her for letting me have a little part in the history of Panguitch. It would be nice if someone would come forward and the play could keep going along with the rest of the Quilt Walk Festival.

The Pioneer Home Tours were just like the rest of the festival; it couldn’t have been any better. Some marvelous changes have been made to the homes on the tour. I used to be an Opel Miller home teacher a long time ago, and when I walked in, I wasn’t sure I had the right house. It used to be that when you came into her house, there was a staircase you walked up to the second floor. It was gone, and the guide said that it wasn’t up to code so they took it down and built one going up the other way. The Red Brick Inn has nine bedrooms. It used to be the old hospital at one time. Tera Conner and her daughter, Jaynie, were in charge of the Home Tours this year, and it was the best in attendance yet. Thanks to all of the quilters who make the Pioneer

rooms have been sold out for months. “That weekend is going to be a madhouse here,” he said. Capitol Reef National Park is expecting between 15 to 20 thousand visitors that weekend. The town is working on a t-shirt design for the event and will have special viewing glasses too.

The council then approved the 2023-24 budget. The budget was reviewed in detail at the public hearing prior to the town council meeting. The council also discussed the two council openings. Only two candidates applied before the deadline, and write-ins are required to file by October.

During the council member reports, Councilmember Kearney reported that fencing has begun at the cemetery, Councilmember Pace said that speed limit signs have been put up in Sleeping Rainbow, and Councilmember ThorndalStewart said they are still in need of Apple Days volunteers and a donation box sorter for the post office.

Lastly, the meeting opened to public comments and because of the number of people wanting to speak, the council instituted a twominute rule for comments.

Scott Smith was the first of twelve citizens to speak. He said he was there speaking on behalf of Dianna Poulton, the farmers market director, and market vendors. He quickly went over his allotted two minutes, but other citizens donated their speaking time to him so he could continue. “The thousand dollars we didn’t make last week stung,” said Smith regarding the loss his wife’s booth experienced with the market closure. He wanted the public to understand that many of the vendors are more than just hobbyists and that they rely on the farmers market for their income. He said that the vendors are willing to address issues and that they

Tera owns the Pink Polka Dot store and is painting a beautiful mural on the wall of their building. I understand that Jaynie designed the mural that spells out "PANGUITCH."

So many residents contributed to the success of the Quilt Walk Festival. To call them by name would be impossible, so I hope you know how much your time, energy and contributions are appreciated by residents and city employees alike. Pat yourself on the back; you made it a success. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The Panguitch Lions Club had their great breakfast, with all of the fixings. This year they had a new twist. They had music, and they had a lot of live singers with their open mic, some young and not so young belting out their songs. The food was great, and it was a fun time.

would like to remain at the current location until they can find a suitable replacement. “We are willing to help wherever we can,” concluded Smith.

Diane Barrett, a representative from the Wayne County Business Association, said “I don’t see why Dianna and the council can’t get together and redesign the safety situation… There are all sorts of barricades we can use.” Barrett also wanted to address the fear issue and said that a lot of the women at the market were scared. “Expressing opinions loudly during the market is inappropriate and it scares people,” she said.

All but one of the remaining commenters expressed support for the farmers market. Some offered solutions and others expressed concern about alleged misconduct at the market and wanted to know that something would be done. One citizen who lives near the Chuckwagon said traffic isn’t just an issue with the farmers market, “It’s everyday of the week, it is a horrible intersection.”

Another commenter said “It was a huge hit for us to miss a week of income.”

One commenter expressed that he was the victim of a safety issue. He lives down Center Street and had to back up and stop traffic due to the road closure. He’s been driving that road for fifty years and doesn’t think it should be closed. “I don’t think it is the town’s problem to find a new location,” he said. The council then made a motion to go into closed session to discuss personnel issues.

Torrey Town Council meetings are held on the 2nd Thursday of every month at 7:00 p.m. June - October and 6:30 p.m November - May—unless otherwise noted.

Road. It consists of about 80 acres, and the plan aims to divide it in two. The north lot would contain 44 acres. The south lot would contain 36 acres. Both would have A share water, either well rights or an actual well, and both have recently passed perk tests. Access would be from the 1600 Road off Lower Boulder.

The Zoning Administrator (ZA) stated that it will require a road agreement with other road users. Also, at the time that the preliminary application is submitted, the property cannot be posted for sale, as it is currently listed for sale. A member of the PC stated that concerns regarding 1600 S. need to be resolved. The applicant stated that previous subdivisions off that road have not required road agreements. The ZA stated that they cannot address past issues but they can address current ones. The road will also have to be taken up to street standards. Careful research needs to be conducted.

Planning for the Attainable Housing FollowUp Forum followed. The forum will take place on Thursday, June 15 at the Town Hall, with a Zoom option available. The purpose is to provide information about what the workgroups have found and to listen to concerns. It will begin with presentations from each of the three workgroups: housing needs, housing providers, and community vision. Reports from the workgroups are available on the town website.

A presentation of various options that would impact attainable housing and maintenance of open space will follow, includ-

ing: no action; changes to subdivision rules such as decreasing density, average density, and flexibility in subdividing based on characteristics of a specific parcel; changes to development rules such as considering RV parks, multifamily housing and tiny homes; and incentives for housing and for preserving open space and agricultural land that support the General Plan. The Town Planner will provide pros and cons of each option.

Flipcharts with these different options will be located around the room. After presentations, members of the public will be able to roam the room and write comments and place dots on the different flipcharts to reflect opinions. PC members will be available at each flipchart to answer questions. Viewing the numbers of dots on the different flipcharts will give a good idea about levels of support. The flipcharts will also encourage conversation between community members.

The discussion on PC training was postponed until next month. Checklists for CUP applications were discussed. The Town Planner will work on this, taking state law into account.

Staff reports followed. The PC Clerk stated that on American Legal, the PC meeting minutes now go back to 2018 and are all searchable. The TC minutes are not yet available.

ZA updates included a request on private property for six week-long wellness retreats, with eight people or couples max in each, in which participants would bring their own RVs, but there isn’t a specific section on the ordinances to address this. The applicant has been asked to fill out a CUP application, and the PC will then determine

which ordinance sections are relevant, whether it be guest ranch, temporary use, special events etc. The Town Planner has offered to work with the applicant and determine what the PC can do, including considering an ordinance change.

Conversations have been occurring with the applicant, and a PC member had suggested to them that they submit to the town what they want to be able to do on their property and then the PC can consider if it meets the ordinances, as an alternate proposal to dividing the property into six lots as was previously proposed in the Full Moon Farms subdivision concept plan. Another PC member brought up that they had worked hard to keep commercial enterprises restricted to Highway 12, so there is a lot to consider. It was stated that any issues that are brought to the attention of PC members that are relevant to zoning need to be addressed to the ZA.

The July meeting will be changed to Tuesday, July 11 at 7 p.m., as the PC Clerk and ZA are both unavailable at the usual meeting time of Thursday, July 13.

Public comments followed. The PC Clerk apologized for messing up the Zoom link for this night’s meeting.

PC Clerk and ZA roles were discussed. Both are resigning. The TC chose to put off voting on the PC Deputy Clerk at their last meeting. Both plan to stay on to train applicants.

Upcoming business for the July 11 meeting will include: a presentation and possibly voting on the Bylaws; a recap of the Housing Forum; and training plans.

The Boulder Planning Commission meets on the second Thursday of each month at 7 p.m.

ter midnight in the constellation Aquarius. Aquarius has no stars to rival Saturn, so it’s not hard to pick it out.

Much brighter Jupiter rises as morning twilight begins, and it’s still very low in the east when it and the stars fade with the approaching sunrise.

The axis of the earth always points in the same direction—toward the North Star—as the earth orbits the sun. The earth’s northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun at the summer solstice.

Interesting things are happening in the evening sky. Venus has been the brilliant “evening star” for months, but its reign is about to end; you can watch it make its exit in the next few weeks. You’ll see Venus in early twilight (and during the day if you know where to look), and an hour after sunset you can see Mars too, a very short distance to the upper left of Venus. That distance is 5° on the 19th, and you can see the two together in binoculars, but their separation decreases slowly night by night until it reaches a minimum of 3½° on the 30th. Venus is a whopping 300 times brighter than Mars, so they’re a very unequal pair, but understandable: Mars is half the size of Venus, darker in color and 1/3 as reflective, and almost five times more distant (206 vs. 46 million miles).

After the 30th, Venus turns away, and their separation very slowly increases, but you’ll see both together

in binoculars until the middle of July.

Note that both planets set four minutes earlier each night and so are lower at the same time each night—a consequence of the earth’s motion around the sun. Soon there will be no planet in the early evening sky, so enjoy Venus and Mars while they’re still there.

To make this almostconjunction even more interesting, the thin crescent moon joins them on the 21st when it’s only 3° from Venus, and all three will fit in the view of binoculars. This is a photo opportunity if there is something interesting in the foreground.

The star to the upper left of Mars that is slightly brighter than the planet is Regulus, in Leo. Watch Mars approach Regulus; they’ll be in a close conjunction early next month.

Telescopically, Venus is a crescent that grows noticeably thinner by the night.

Saturn rises shortly af-

It’s felt like summer for some time now, but summer officially begins at 8:58 a.m. MDT on June 21—the summer solstice. That’s the moment when the earth’s constant 23½° tilt is pointed away from the sun. This orientation causes the sun to rise and set as far north of east and north of west as it will, its path across the sky is its highest, and the day is its longest. It’s warm now because we have more hours of sunlight, and the sun shines down on us from on high.

Seasons are reversed in the northern and southern hemispheres. When the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, as it is now, the southern is tilted away, and June 21 marks the winter solstice for our friends south of the equator.

SALT LAKE CITY -

Buckle up! It’s time to hit the road with Explorer Corps. Where to? The Natural History Museum of Utah (NHMU) has got you covered with 29 unique, beat-the-crowds travel itineraries and the Ultimate Utah Road Trip Sweepstakes. The Explorer Corps passport program offers drive-by sightseeing, park-and-walk overlooks, off-roading, hiking and idyllic summer recreation spots, supplying destinations and inspiration for an activity that’s stood the test of time: the classic summer road trip.

"There’s nothing like the carefree fun of a road trip with family and friends," said Jason Cryan, Executive Director of NHMU. "If you haven’t planned a good oldfashioned road trip this summer, we wholeheartedly encourage everyone to gather their favorite snacks, prepare their go-to car playlists and embrace the open road! Utah's beautiful scenery and the natural history gems we’ve curated in every county are just waiting to be discovered this summer—so let’s get out there and explore Utah’s natural wonders."

“My team and I spend a lot of time on the road listening to Utahns and engaging with communities in every corner of the State,” said Utah Lieutenant Governor Deidre Henderson. “Visiting the Explorer Corps markers has been a way for us to connect to our history in a deeper way. As a group we’ve been to about 20 markers so far and learn something new at each site. I encourage you all to hit the road with Explorer Corps.”

Thanks to continued support from Salt Lake City based Kellville Vans, two lucky road-trippers will have the chance to win one of two week-long adventures in a luxury RV of their choosing. Kellville reminds explorers that loading up in a camper van, trailer or RV is a great way to see all 29 of Utah’s picturesque counties and find the Explorer Corps marker in each one.

Winners can choose a week in one of the following:

• A 2023 Winnebago View | Sleeps 5

• 2023 Winnebago Solis 59PX | Sleeps 4

2022 Winnebago Revel |

"Being deeply passionate about the joy of road trips, we at Kellville Vans are absolutely thrilled to be part of the Ultimate Utah Road Trip this summer, actively supporting Explorer Corps’ goal to ignite the inner explorer in every individual,'' said Teisa Linscott, spokesperson for Kellville Vans. “We couldn’t be more excited to offer an additional incentive for people to embark on an unforgettable adventure and create cherished memories on the road this summer."

If that’s not enough incentive to hit the road, follow @NHMU on Instagram for weekly prize giveaways from Utahbased companies including Albion gift cards, Klymit camping seat cushions, and a uniquely curated collection of water bottles, hats, stickers, and other summer swag. Explorer Corps 2023 is also made possible by generous support from The Union Pacific Foundation.

Sunday, the next day, will be Father’s Day, so if your father went on the wood haul, he probably will need some gentle care or a rub down.

The Panguitch Valley Balloon Rally will be here next week from June 2224, and this really has gotten into a very big event, with as many as 4,000 people coming to the last day. It starts with the Lions Club breakfast and goes on till the balloon glow is over with on Saturday night at 10 p.m. In between, there is shopping at the tents on 1st East by the Zions Bank, and there is usually plenty of food in the booths behind the bank. Main and Center streets will be closed down, and there will be bands playing on the corners. You can book a ride on the balloons, but I don’t know where or who to call; you might call Panguitch City Hall at 676-8585.

The following week, from the 26th to the 29th,

there will be a sports camp for the younger kids in town, from ages who have completed K - 8 grades. It is sponsored by the Valley Christian Fellowship, and it will be held over at the baseball park from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. There will be multi sports, with kids learning different sports in the afternoon and crafts taught in the morning. The kids can use this as a fun time, and the parents can have a break. The cost is $5.00 for all four days, and lunch is served.

One of the items that came out of this Federal budget that President Biden signed into effect is 2.6 billion dollars to repair coastal beaches. $300 million is going into solving the problem in the southernmost part of California. For well over a hundred years, and maybe longer, the sewer from Tijuana dumps into the Pacific Ocean, and it pollutes a number of miles along the California coast.

I didn’t know that if you are in prison, you can still run for president.
