Garfield County Commission June 10

GARFIELD COUNTY The Garfield County Commission met Monday, June 10 for its regular meeting, including two public hearings. First, general business was taken care of. At the beginning of the meeting Clerk Camille Moore requested an emergency addition to the agenda: a request for additional funding for the Panguitch horseshoe pits. Commissioners’ board reports were briefer than usual: Commissioner David Tebbs said he had nothing to report other than continued conversations with the state tax commission. Commissioner Jerry Taylor reported only his meetings as commission representative on the Bristlecone Water board. Commissioner Leland Pollock listed off a few bullet points: First, related to the National Association of Counties (NACO), he was finalizing resolutions for the National Public Lands committee that include support of the Trump monument downsizing; support for the federal law enforcement resolution, “going back to the bullying issue with federal law enforcement” and identifying the county sheriff as chief law enforcement officer; a prairie dog resolution; and a resolution calling on the Forest Service to do something about catastrophic Garfield Commission Cont'd on page 11

SALT LAKE CITY - The Forest Service, an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), is proposing revisions to its National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) regulations. These regulations are a key component of how the agency performs environmental analysis and makes decisions. The Forest Service released the proposed rule on June 13, 2019, initiating a 60day public comment period and a 120-day Tribal consultation period. There are two ways to comment: • Go to the Federal eRulemaking Portal. You may submit a comment by clicking on “Comment Now!”

• Mail written comments to USDA-Forest Service Attn: Amy Barker, USDA Forest Service, Geospatial Technology and Applications Center, 125 South State Street, Suite 7105, Salt Lake City, UT 84138.

Feasibility is based mainly on the cost of extending the water line. The criteria to determine feasibility include the proximity of the lot to a Water Company 8-inch water line, the number and size of the proposed lots, and whether the applicant owns adjacent property that could potentially be subdivided in the future.

NEPA

• Adds new categorical exclusions that improve the Forest Service’s ability to maintain and repair infrastructure people need to use and enjoy forests, roads, trails, campgrounds, and other facilities. • Meets both the spirit and intention of the NEPA. Examples of Categorical Exclusions Many of the changes in the proposed rule are based on adding or expanding existing categorical exclusions. Categorical Exclusions (CEs) are a list of activities that agencies have determined, from analysis and experience, to not have significant environmental impact and, therefore, do not to require extensive environmental analysis. There are exceptions based on extraordinary circumstances, and activities must be within the size and scope of what is described in the CE. If the action does not fit within a category, or if extraordinary circumstances apply, the agency must conduct an environmental assessment to determine whether there are potential significant effects. If the agency finds that the activity will result in no significant effects, a decision can be made to proceed. If significant effects are possible or likely, an environmental impact statement is required to determine how best to serve people in a way that responsibly protects shared natural resources. On average, an environmental assessment takes 687 days to complete. Average time to complete a CE takes just 206 days. By using the new CEs in the proposed rule, the Forest Service could potentially complete analysis between 30 and 480 days earlier on applicable projects. These figures represent the amount of time from when the analysis starts to its completion. The figures do not represent actual days worked on the analysis. They are also based on averages and do not factor in extraordinary circumstances. The CEs covered in the proposed rule fall into three general categories: (1) those covering restoration activities, (2) those covering infrastructure activities, and (3) those

covering special uses. Some examples of the types of work that could be approved, based on hundreds of analyzed environmental assessments, are listed below. Restoration projects Removing trees affected by insects or disease through commercial timber harvest in combination with stream restoration in a 4,200-acre area to improve forest health and watershed conditions is one example of a restoration project. Restoration projects could also include reducing overgrown areas around a community and improving wildlife habitat through mechanical thinning and use of prescribed burning. Infrastructure projects An example of an infrastructure project would be the decommissioning of several miles of poorly located and difficult-to-maintain roads or trails that are causing resource damage. Another example would be a project to relocate, build, and decommission campsites along a forest road or in a developed campground to improve visitor safety and convenience or to improve natural resource conditions. Special uses and permitting One example would be issuing a special-use authorization to build a water pipeline and storage tank for an area with poor water supply and quality. Another would be authorizing development or improvements for a communication site. Yet, another example would be authorizing an outfitter to lead guided hikes on a popular hiking trail. In each of these examples, and based on analysis of similar projects, the necessary environmental review to authorize these types of important activities could be completed in less time with reduced process while maintaining important environmental safeguards.

and considered in the preparation of the final rule. NEPA requires agencies to analyze the environmental effects of proposed actions prior to making decisions. This process helps the Forest Service in its mission to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the Nation’s forests and grasslands to meet the needs of present and future generations. The Forest Service last updated its NEPA regulations in 2008. Since then, challenges like extended droughts, insect infestations, and diseases have made the effort to protect people, communities, and resources from threats like catastrophic wildfires more difficult due to strain on available staff and resources across all mission areas. The proposed rule is the result of robust input from agency personnel, the public, and other stakeholders. The changes in the proposed rule will help the Forest Service better manage sustainable, healthy, and productive national forests and grasslands. As a result of the changes, the agency will be better able to accomplish important work without sacrificing its commitment to delivering high-quality, science-based analysis. The updates in the proposed rule incorporate lessons learned and experience gained from staff and partners over the past 10 years. Proposed rule highlights include that it • Equips the Forest Service with new tools and added flexibility to do more work that readily addresses the worsening conditions we are all seeing on forests and rangelands. • Ensures the agency does the right amount of environmental analysis to fit the work, locations, and conditions. It reduces redundancy in analysis for similar work, under like conditions. • Adopts proven practices and applies lessons learned from experiences and other agencies.

How to Prepare for and Tackle Unexpected College Costs

lumina images / sToCk.adoBe.Com

Here are some tips to help individuals getting ready to head off to college prepare for and address the costs associated with pursuing a college degree. UTAH - Smart financial decisions can help your family make good college investment decisions. Unfortunately, unexpected costs throw many families for a loop. To plan realistically, consider the following: • Pad Your Budget: Many college expenses are variable —from fun stuff, like entertainment and trips, to the serious, like books, supplies and other educational fees. Pad your budget in case these costs are larger than anticipated. • Look Beyond the Letter: Those receiving financial aid from their school should look beyond their Expected Family Contribution (EFC). Forty-three percent of parents of college students nationwide report paying more than their EFC, according to a recent survey by College Ave Student Loans and conducted by Barnes & Noble College Insights. The bright side? Of those families that received financial aid award letters, 17 percent appealed, with 58 percent of those parents successful in receiving more aid from the school. • Stretch Book Budgets: The cost of textbooks and supplies often surprise families. While the exact

amount is unpredictable, the College Board reports that the average student spends $1,240 each year on course materials. Purchasing used, renting or downloading textbooks electronically are all smart strategies for reducing costs. • Grow Your Budget: Families surveyed were nearly split on whether a child helps pay for the cost of college —49 percent said yes, 51 percent said no. Having a child kick in can teach responsibility and grow your overall budget, whether that contribution comes in the form of a part-time job or a work-study program. Another substantial way a student can help is by reducing or even eliminating housing costs and becoming a resident advisor. • Borrow Strategically: If you need to borrow to pay for college, first take out federal loans in the student’s name, which carries special benefits, such as public service forgiveness and income driven repayment options not typically available on private loans. When federal loans in the student’s name don’t cover you fully, determine whether private student loans or private parent loans may

be right for you and your family. Those from College Ave Student Loans, for example, are available at competitive rates and feature a wide range of repayment options. Its customer-friendly experience —from application through repayment — takes some of the stress out of the equation. • Control Loan Costs: You can reduce the overall cost of a loan by starting to make payments while in school, even if it’s only a small amount. To see the impact that various repayment options have on total loan costs, use the student loan calculator available at collegeavestudentloans. com. “Whether parents are advocating for more financial aid, helping create a budget or helping pay off loans, their support serves as a cornerstone in many student’s financial plans,” says financial industry veteran Joe DePaulo, CEO and co-founder of College Ave Student Loans. “Being realistic and having a plan can help families face both the expected and unexpected costs of college.” —StatePoint Media

Advance Directives for Medical Decisisons by JeFFery J. mCkenna What if an illness or an accident leaves you in a coma? Would you want to have your life prolonged by any means necessary, or would you want to have some treatments withheld to allow a natural death? An advance directive allows you to give instructions to your health care providers and your family on these topics. You can give them instructions about the types of treatments you want or don't want to receive if you become incapacitated. What can happen if there are no instructions, in writing? Family emotions and differences of opinion can get in the way of making a choice that reflects your true wishes. These differences of opinion can cause much strife in an already difficult time. To make matters worse, many such conflicts end up being decided by the courts, which may receive conflicting information from family members. Courts try to determine what your wishes are, based on testimony from family. The term “advance directive” can describe a variety of documents. Living Will and Health Care Power of Attorney documents are types of advance directives. If you have questions, contact an attorney who is familiar with state statutes regarding advance directives. An attorney can help you formulate advance directives. It is a simple process, and can prevent much heartache and family conflict. It can ensure that your wishes are followed should you become incapacitated. LIVING WILL A Living Will allows you to state whether you want your life prolonged if you suffer from a terminal

illness or if you are deemed to be permanently unconscious. In general, a Living Will indicates whether you want certain treatments withheld or withdrawn if they are only prolonging the dying process or if there is no hope of recovery. Living Wills only go into effect if you are no longer able to make your own health care decisions. A Living Will lets your physician and your family know your specific wishes concerning certain medical procedures. HEALTH CARE POWER OF ATTORNEY A Health Care Power of Attorney (HCPOA) allows you to name someone (an Agent) to make health care decisions for you if you are unable. The HCPOA can cover any health care decision, even if you are not terminally ill or permanently unconscious. A HCPOA can apply in cases of temporary unconsciousness or in case of diseases like Alzheimer's that affect decision making. As with the Living Will, a HCPOA generally only goes into effect when you are no longer able to make your own health care decisions. Unless you state otherwise in your directive, your Agent generally has the same authority to make decisions about your health care as you would. Since this person will be acting on your behalf if you become unconscious or unable to make health care decisions, this should obviously be someone you know and trust thoroughly. You can limit your Agent's authority if you choose to do so. For example, you could specify that your Agent will not have authority to override your desire not to be put on life support equipment.

On an evening when my parents were dining in a Chinese restaurant with two of their close friends, Dad was showing his skill in the use of chopsticks. In addition to picking up a piece of beef and a snow pea, he demonstrated his prowess by picking up a tiny morsel of rice. Turning to the others at the table, he asked if there was anything else they would like to see him pick up. "Yes," said his friend. "The check."

Sale

It was the day of the big sale. Rumors of the sale (and some advertising in the local paper) were the main reason for the long line that formed by 8:30, the store's opening time, in front of the store. A small man pushed his way to the front of the line, only to be pushed back, amid loud and colorful curses. On the man's second attempt, he was punched square in the jaw, and knocked around a bit, and then thrown to the end of the line again. As he got up the second time, he said to the person at the end of the line... "That does it! If they hit me one more time, I won't open the store!"

Gary Lewis RICHFIELD - After 41 years, Magleby Mortuary is announcing the retirement of Gary Lewis from full-time funeral service. Gary started with Magleby’s in 1978 after receiving an Associate Degree from Snow College. When he finished his Utah apprenticeship, he attended Cypress Community College in Southern California to complete his licensing requirements. He always contended that although his time in Southern California was well spent, his best education came while working directly with Neal and Alma. During his time with Magleby’s, Gary has shared many wonderful as well as sad experiences with families, both local and from far away. In addition to the families he has worked with, he has also cherished his time working with many people in health care, leaders of congregations, and law enforcement. In addition to his duties with the mortuary, he was selected to be one of three funeral directors in Utah to work with Vital Records in developing and implementing the current format for death certificates. To further the importance of his profession, he has conducted area workshops and also tours of the Richfield mortuary for school, civic, and church groups over the years. Gary has been heavily involved with music his entire life. He has played the piano and organ since age 12 in many different church, school, work, and social settings. This past year marked his 42nd year of being the organist for the Richfield Seminary Graduation service in the Richfield Tabernacle. He has taught various classes on organ technique and will continue to do so. When Gary informed Kelly Magleby that he would be retiring in June, Kelly assured him that his skills would still be needed to assist with families, viewings, funerals, pre-need planning as well as with headstone design. It’s been a wonderful experience and a wonderful place to be. For those who would like to attend, Magleby’s will be hosting a retirement open house for Gary on Saturday, June 22, 2019 at their Richfield location from 6 to 8 p.m.

FYI PanguItch

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Tomorrow, the 21st, is the summer solstice and the longest daylight day of the year. I know that I keep hyping daylight savings time and how much I enjoy the evenings, when I can go bike riding at nine and see where I am going. It was nice to have a weekend off to rest up. However, the fun starts up again this week. The BMWs will be here starting today through Sunday. On Saturday, they will be treated to the Panguitch Lion's Club's famous all-you-can-eat breakfast. I understand that it will be at the Fair Building since the City building is supposed to finally have a roof on. The Firefighters will be hosting the dinner that night, with their terrific deep pit barbecue. The BMWs always have a drawing for Sub for Santa. Janet Oldham, who helped bring the Club here, told them what a great program it was and now, for the last twenty years, they have helped out. Also, on that Saturday, it will be the First Annual Big Fish Horseshoe tournament. Benj Rains is working real hard getting the pits ready for this event. In the horseshoe circle this is an exciting event. Help came from horseshoe players from Cedar City, who helped set the pegs. The horseshoe pits are the first things that the City and County has done in twenty years to boost the economy in the City. Yes, I do know about the ATV rally, but that was a no cost event. While you are taking in the matches, you might want to cross over to the Fair Building and have a Lion's Breakfast. Thanks again, Benj, for all your work on this event. Pat and I are going to San Diego. Our granddaughter has finally finished her Residency and the eight Residents are going to have a going-away party. We will be gone next Sunday, so there won’t be a column next week. However, a lot is coming up, so mark your calendar. Next week, it will be the biggest event of the year, the Balloon Festival. It will start with balloon launching on Thursday morning, Friday, Saturday and a getaway launching on Sunday morning. On Friday and Saturday, there will be concessioners, selling anything from shoes to foods and drinks. Satur-

day morning will be the Panguitch Lion's Club Breakfast at Zions Bank. Come early because this is a very popular event. At ten there will be a motorcycle parade with some really great bikes on display. Behind the Bank, there will also be blow up games for the kids. Hopefully, holding this event later in June there won’t be the winds that have shut down the balloon glow on Saturday night the last three years. These balloons cost upwards of $10,000, and they aren’t willing to take any chances in damaging their aircraft. The balloon fest is becoming a great family reunion time. Just walk around town on Saturday night and see the many folks that you haven’t seen in a while and welcome them home. Since July 4th falls on a Thursday this year, my column won’t be out till Friday. When the bombs go off in your front yard at 6am on Thursday morning, just a reminder to all of you that work for a living to go back to sleep. However, when you do wake up, get with the spirit of the 4th and hustle down to the Zions Bank for another Lion's Club 4th of July Breakfast. After the breakfast at 10am, it will be the kid's parade, so get their bikes and ATVs ready to rumble. The Parade is really a lot of fun, but don’t be late because it doesn’t last too long. At noon, the PHS Juniors have lunch down at the Fair Grounds. They also have games for the kiddies. Then the highlight of the evening, it is the best fireworks in Southern Utah, put on by Panguitch’s Firefighters. There are great places all over town to view this great show and a fitting end to a wonderful day. In July, we have a couple

of really big events that will be here. My favorite is the Fiddler Fest. I believe the Social Hall will be finished by then. Come and be treated to music that you can understand. On that same weekend, there is going to be a Harley Davidson rally, and it is a big time event. The producers have to bring in over 250 riders to break even. There will be all kinds of events planned and a concert at the Triple C Arena on Saturday night. More dates and times for these event later. Amber Matthews, who works at the Hospital, asked me to announce a couple of Fundraisers for the Hospital that will be happing later in the summer. On August the 2nd, there will be the Garfield Memorial Hospital annual Golf Tournament. It will be up at Richfield golf course , and it will be a staggered start. The Annual Foundation Dinner will be held on August 29th. It will be again held at Ebenezer’s Barn. Great food and a lot of items to purchase and prizes. Contact Amber at 676-1262 for tickets for the dinner and information for the golf tournament. Well the NBA finals are over and I believe that this season the games were better than ever, with all of the teams being so even the games were all really close. Even though

the game of basketball was invented in Canada, this was the first time a Canadian team has won. Toronto Raptors are the Champs, and they won the championship by playing a really tough defense. I’m a Toronto fan, and any other team that plays Golden State, but I was hoping that it would go another game. It was that entertaining. Golden State lost their two best players to injuries, and that probably cost them the Championship. Kevin Durant suffered a torn Achilles tendon that had to be operated on. Kevin missed 12 games in the championship because of a pulled calf muscle, and this injury happened at the start of the 2nd quarter. Thompson, who had only missed one championship game in six years, after scoring 30 points landed awkwardly and tore his knee and that also needs to be operated on. NBA is a really physical game, and the players don’t have any equipment to protect themselves. Well, it is only 4 months till the season starts again. The weather is warming up and our streams are really high and many of them are running over the banks. So keep your kids away from the swiftwater for a couple more weeks, till the run off is gone.

Youth Concert

tiful music with this beautiful landscape,” said Crouse. “So we threw one together at the Catholic Church. Then we thought that we could pair with a local teacher to help develop students.” Crouse and Kovach found the perfect complement to their idea in Lynsey Shelar, of the Sleeping Rainbow School of Music, who offers ongoing lessons to local musicians (young and old) and works with the students during the three-day Strings Camp.

Kovach selected the youth performance pieces and some of them she had arranged to meet the level of the students. “Leah has worked with an arranger to modify the pieces so the students can play them,” said Crouse. Local families are invited to come and enjoy the Youth Ensemble performance and see how well the local students are doing. The free family concert will be followed by pizza served by Pizza Oven. —Insider

Boating Safety as Lake Powell Water Level Rises

CourTesy naTional Park serviCe

Spring runoff debris on Lake Powell. GLEN CANYON NATIONAL RECREATION AREA - Lake Powell boaters are enjoying higher lake levels as last winter’s significant upstream snowpack melts. Water levels are now rising 6 to 15 inches in a 24 hour period. As a result, the main launch ramp at Bullfrog has sufficient water to cover the old coffer dam and is no longer, “at your own risk.”

The Antelope Point Marina launch ramp is expected to be open after NPS staff install and adjust marine infrastructure to provide for boater safety and access. Visitors need to be aware of their property and keep it a safe distance from the rising shoreline. Vehicles should be parked 200 to 300 yards away from the water’s edge (depend-

ing on how long they are on the lake) so they will not become submerged and potentially towed. Depending on the grade of land, a foot of water rising vertically will cover approximately 30 to 50 feet of land horizontally. Additionally, boaters need to be aware of rising water levels overnight that will cause float toys and other objects

left too close to shore to float away. Houseboat users will have to check and possibly reset their anchors each day to pull slack lines tight. Inflow is carrying debris and boaters should be aware of pieces of branches that could be as large as full trees floating in the lake. This debris could damage lower units when struck. Uplake, there have been large, dead cottonwood trees floating downstream from Trachyte Canyon, Ticaboo Canyon and Good Hope Bay. These debris fields will continue downstream. As always, watch your children around water and wear life jackets. Maintain safe travel in the main channel and go off plane in unknown water. “Do not drink and drive” applies to boating also and always have a sober observer looking out for your party’s safety. Water levels are significantly different than past seasons, so commonly known boating paths and saved GPS routes may not be safe with current lake levels. As boaters follow these and other safety measures, the park wishes all visitors a safe and enjoyable boating season. —National Park Service

Rural Opioid Summit Held in Price July 18-19 Callie Ward, uTah sTaTe universiTy exTension assisTanT ProFessor, garField CounTy

The Tribal and Rural Opioid Initiative was launched by Utah State University Extension in 2018 in an effort to provide effective resources to address opioid use among rural Utahns. The initiative team is working to combat the effects of opioid misuse through prevention, recovery and treatment, with a primary focus on stigma reduction education. To support these efforts, a community-member focused Rural Opioid Summit will be held in Price, Utah, on July 18 and 19, with an optional preconference for substance use professionals on July 17. The summit will provide families and individuals who are personally affected by the opioid epidemic a chance to share resources and learn about recovery strategies, stigma reduction and how to access life-saving harm reduction support. To encourage participation throughout the state, rural community members can receive scholarships for registration as well as travel support.

The summit is sponsored through funding secured by USU Extension Health and Wellness Specialist Sandra Sulzer and Uintah Basin Extension Assistant Professor Suzanne Prevedel. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration Rural Opioid Technical Assistance program sponsors the event, which will also include training from the National Institute for Food and Agriculture, Rural Health and Safety Education program. “Utah is, in many ways, an unusually healthy state,” said Sulzer. “We have some of the lowest rates of cancer in the nation and lower-than-average tobacco and alcohol use rates. Nonetheless, opioids have become a major issue.” Sulzer said that between 2000 and 2015, the state saw a 400 percent increase in deaths resulting from the misuse and abuse of prescription drugs. And some counties, such as Carbon and Emery, have rates well above that state average, which puts them among the hardest hit in the nation. “If you have ever wondered what you could do, as an affected family member,

person in recovery or community member, this summit is here to provide you with the support and tools you need,” she said. Ken White, USU Extension vice president, said with Extension offices serving every county in the state, it provides a wonderful opportunity to offer programs and support for all aspects of health for Utahns. “As the opioid crisis continues to grow, it affects not only the individual, but families, communities and the workplace,” he said. “We hope this summit can offer help and hope to all those in attendance.” Ashley Yaugher, USU Extension assistant professor of health and wellness, and local summit coorganizer, said that by coming together, those in attendance can make a difference in rural Utah communities to turn the tide of the opioid epidemic. Co-organizer Patrick Rezac of One Voice Recovery, said that movement begins with empowering individuals who can then help build thriving communities. The conference features best practices for opioid misuse prevention, treatment and

harm reduction; support programs and harm reduction efforts in the state of Utah; inspiring recovery speakers; and many opportunities for collaboration. The pre-conference meeting is geared for substance use disorder counselors and other interested professionals and will cover harm reduction best practices and stigma reduction, with continuing education credits available. More than a dozen community partners, including the USU Health Extension: Advocacy, Research and Teaching team have been instrumental in creating a grassroots, community-response effort. Visit extension.usu.edu/ruralopioidsummit/ to see a list of sponsors and for registration information. For further rural summit information, contact Yaugher at Ashley.Yaugher@ usu.edu or 435-636-3276. Plans are in the works for a tribal summit for the Utah and western regional Native American communities in 2020.

feasible now but may not be in the future if prices climb. Language will be adjusted into the next draft to address these concerns, and a public hearing will occur at the July meeting of the Planning Commission. Following this, the Commissioners continued the discussion on economic opportunity commercial rezoning. Changes could include allowing professional offices, light manufacturing, and auto services outside of commercial zones. One way this could be accomplished is by changing the Table of Uses. Professional offices, such as that of a lawyer who wants to use their residence to meet with clients, may pose little risk to the surrounding neighborhood. Restrictions could be imposed including the number of available parking spaces or number of allowable employees to minimize traffic and impact. In the past, the legality of using private residences for economic opportunities such as welding has been questioned, however valuable services may also be provided to the community in this way. Spot zoning provides a

possible option for Boulder. This would allow the Town and the public to look at an individual property in a noncommercial zone and decide if a specific business is appropriate. Spot zoning approval should be based in the General Plan. One potential pitfall of spot zoning is that if a plot is approved and then sold, the zoning would remain even if the new owners were to change the business. It is possible that a conditional use permit could also be required to limit the uses that could be conducted on that property. Under current Town ordinances, spot zoning is already possible so new legislation need not be passed. The Boulder Town Planning Commission meets on the second Thursday of each month at 7pm at the Boulder Community Center. The next meeting’s agenda will include reviewing an application for a guest ranch at Sugar Loaf Valley Ranch, a public hearing on the revisions to the Subdivision Ordinance, and continuing the discussion about increasing economic opportunity, specifically considering the Table of Uses and professional offices.

Glen Canyon National Recreation Area Requesting Public Comments for Proposed Fee at Beehives Primitive Campground PAGE - Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is seeking public comment regarding the implementation of a $14 per night camping fee for the Beehives Primitive Campground at Ferry Swale. Public comments will be accepted from June 6 through July 24, 2019. The Beehives Primitive Campground is located near Page, Arizona on the west side of Highway 89 near the Wahweap South Entrance. In 2017, it became apparent the area had become a popular hiking ac-

cess point and the heavy visitation and off-road camping was beginning to negatively impact the site. In 2018, the park provided six delineated camping sites to address the demand for primitive camping while protecting the area and preventing resource damage. The funds from the proposed fee will be used for activities and projects that serve visitors to Glen Canyon NRA. Park fees allow the National Park Service (NPS) to invest in the improvements necessary

to provide the best possible park experience to our visitors. Ongoing projects at Glen Canyon NRA are funded under the authority of the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act and address high priority park needs. To answer questions about the proposed action and provide an opportunity for the public to comment, a public meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 17, 2019 at 5:00 p.m. in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area

Headquarters Building, located at 691 Scenic View Rd, Page, Arizona. Management and staff will be available to answer questions and discuss the proposed fee in more detail. Public comments and questions about these changes are being accepted through July 24 on the NPS Planning, Environment & Public Comment website at: http://parkplanning.nps.gov/BeehivesCampgroundFee. —National Park Service

exactly as they planned,” she said, and Commissioner Taylor said the estimated shortfall is around $25-30K, with $5K needed for fencing to be able to hold the tournament. He’d suggested to Rains that they approach Panguitch City in the meantime and pursue additional fundraising. This discussion was temporarily tabled in order to proceed with the scheduled CUP public hearing. However, when the commission returned to the discussion, Commissioner Pollock said the group needs to come back and speak in public forum, as well as present their final plan, budget, and current expenditures. The first public hearing was held with a full house of attendees, most being residents of Mammouth Creek opposed to a conditional use permit for an RV park in their development. Commissioner Pollock prefaced the public hearing saying the previous county planner, Justin Fischer, had been in place when the applicant—Jim Villani— had applied to the county for a zone change and a conditional use permit for a storage unit in that development. The Planning Commission at that time had approved both. The CUP for the storage facility has apparently never been put into effect. The CUP application being considered now would apply to the same piece of property, but with the use changed from storage facility to RV park. Moving into public hearing, the commission heard several residents’ comments alluding to poor process and lack of notification, both of this public hearing as well as the rezoning and previous CUP hearing. Residents spoke of the negative effects of a 24pad RV park on the 24 cabins in their residential neighborhood: the strain on community fire department services that they currently support with bake sales and pancake breakfasts; the transient nature of RV owners who won’t

be vested in the community; overloading capacity on roads; additional leakage of oil and hydraulic fluid into the stream; trash accumulation and waste dumping; septic impacts; lack of ATV speed enforcement and trespass; and other effects. One resident cited the county’s Zoning Ordinance, 11.11-2 Recreational Vehicles and Vehicle Parks, and said the proposed plan didn’t meet those requirements. Another resident said the commercial rezoning shouldn’t have been approved in the first place. Returning to regular session, the commissioners briefly discussed the comments. Commissioner Tebbs said he understood the concern about notification and committed “to do a better job” at that. Commissioner Taylor noted the applicant hasn't followed through on the initial CUP and also acknowledged the lack of notification on the zone change. Commissioner Pollock agreed, expressing concern with the original zone change, “which we will address.” Commissioner Tebbs made a motion to deny the CUP “based on public feedback,” which was seconded and passed. Moving to the second scheduled public hearing on the Acceptable Use Policy for Public Property, Commissioner Pollock asked for a motion to table the public hearing “upon advice of our attorney.” The public hearing was postponed. Former Commissioner Clair Ramsey addressed the commission regarding Bryce Canyon Airport property and confusion regarding whether

a land swap with SITLA had occurred in 2011. The intent at that time, Ramsey said, had been to eliminate 150 acres of SITLA property inside the county airport fence. Another later complication was a 2012 lawsuit with the BLM resulting in previously leased land being deeded back. The entire discussion revealed confusion as to actual events. Commissioner Pollock said they will review the record and documentation to clear up the sequence of events and actual ownership of the land. On another topic, Commissioner Ramsey asked why the county’s extended care facility couldn’t be more competitively priced with facilities in other counties. He said a friend was charged over $6K/month at the Garfield center, while the charge was less than half that at a Cedar City facility. He said county residents are needing to move their families over 100 miles away because of the cost. Pollock said he’d find out. Final business was to approve the hiring for a Panguitch senior center employee. The one applicant, Shawna Hatch, will be hired on an as-needed basis. The next Garfield County Commission meeting will be Monday, June 24 with at least two public hearings also scheduled. Garfield County Commission meetings are held on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month at 10 am at the Commission Chambers in the Courthouse. —Insider

fire. Pollock will be attending the NACO convention in Las Vegas mid-July. He met with Tony Rampton from the Attorney General’s office to discuss roads. He was planning to meet with the Joint Jail committee in Salt Lake and reported that Garfield County jail is now at maximum capacity with 98 state inmates. Public Works, County Engineer Brian Bremner reported that Antimony has asked to postpone the chipseal funding they’d received from the county as they have another means of funding the project. Another item of business included opening of bids for the surplus vehicle sale. Bremner will summarize the bids and report at the next meeting. Clerk Moore announced that the head of the horseshoe pitch project, Benj Rains, had come in before the meeting to request additional county funds to complete the pitch before a June 22 tournament. She said their initial funding request for $10K had already been spent. "Things weren’t

Wildlife Board Approves Change to Simplify Collection of Non-venomous Native Reptiles, Amphibians

CourTesy uTah division oF WildliFe resourCes

A zebra-tailed lizard sunning itself on a rock. SALT LAKE CITY Spotting a lizard sunning itself on a rock adds a bit of excitement to any outdoor adventure. For some people, collecting amphibians or reptiles that they find in the wild is a popular activity. On Thursday, the Utah Wildlife Board approved a new rule that makes it easier to do just that. Utah is home to approximately 61 native species of reptiles and 15 native species of amphibians. The rule change will simplify the process for the public to collect, possess and breed non-venomous native reptiles and amphibians caught in the wild. It will also allow for the sale of captive-born reptiles and amphibians. Previously, people interested in collecting, possessing and/or breeding native amphibians and reptiles were required to obtain a Certificate of Registration. The process could be complicated, lengthy and sometimes expensive. And most of the highly sought-after native species in Utah were previously categorized as either “controlled” or “prohibited.” “This proposal was a result of reptile and amphibian enthusiasts wanting easier access, bag limits and a permit to be able to use this natural resource,” DWR native species coordinator Drew Dittmer said. “They wanted to be able to take and engage with these species in a sustainable way and wanted to simplify the process and make it more approachable for the public.” However, some requirements must be met before people can begin collecting. People interested in taking home a non-venomous reptile or amphibian found in the wild are required to take an online education course, which would cover the laws, safety considerations and conservation ethics. The education course certificate is valid for three years. People are also required to obtain a permit online. Under the new rule, people are still not allowed to collect sensitive species, including the Gila monster, Mojave desert tortoise, Arizona toad, Western boreal toad, relict leopard frog and

Columbia spotted frog. There is also a set bag limit for the number of reptiles and amphibians that could be collected. The bag limit categories vary from species to species and include the following options: • Limited: 2 yearly bag limit with 4 total in a person’s possession at one time • Standard: 3 yearly bag limit with 9 total in a person’s possession at one time • Expanded: 25 yearly limit

with 50 total in a person’s possession at one time While this new rule is similar to laws that other states have in place, the DWR is including a unique rule that requires people who collect reptiles and amphibians to report online where they found the animals. The person would be required to report this information within 72 hours of capturing the reptile or amphibian. This will help biologists study the activity and distribution of many of

the native species. “There isn’t a good way right now to know how many there are of several of these species,” Dittmer said. “The online community science reporting is exciting and is the biggest thing I’m looking forward to with this new proposal. There are people out there who already monitor reptiles and amphibians in their spare time, so requiring them to report it will give us data that will help us better manage these species.” This new rule will go into effect Jan. 1, 2020. If someone is interested in collecting and possessing venomous reptiles like rattlesnakes, they are still required to get a Certificate of Registration. There is also an age requirement of 18 years old. However, even with a Certificate of Registration, people are required to follow their city ordinances to make sure they can legally keep venomous reptiles. And non-native venomous species are still not allowed in Utah without obtaining a variance from the Utah Wildlife Board. Map of wild turkey

transplant sites for next 5 years The Utah Wildlife Board also approved new wild turkey transplant sites for the next five years. There are between 25,000-35,000 wild turkeys in Utah, and part of the current management plan includes improving hunting opportunities and decreasing human/ turkey conflicts, which sometimes necessitates turkeys being trapped and relocated. The new map identifies 267 locations where turkeys could be relocated in the next five years. Of those release sites, 210 are for existing turkey populations and 57 are new areas for turkeys. The DWR has trapped and relocated about 10,000 turkeys over the last 10 years.

June 20, 2019

Recording the transplant sites is required by state law, and in the past, they were tracked in a list format. However, DWR biologists felt that a map format would be better because it is more detailed. “Some of the areas where these birds are transplanted are very big, so using a map allows us to be more specific, rather than using a text list,” DWR upland game wildlife coordinator Dax Mangus said. “These transplanted birds either bolster existing turkey populations or start new populations in an area, and these maps will help us better track them.” —Utah Division of Wildlife Resources
