Disgusting Brothers to Play at BIFF Closing Party

by Tessa Barkan BOULDER - The July 2019 Boulder Town Planning Commission meeting began with a discussion on the Sugarloaf Valley Farm Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to operate a guest ranch. Commissioners discussed that the definition of a guest ranch in the ordinances should be made more explicit, and that Sugarloaf Valley could provide a model of what a guest ranch could look like. A motion was passed to review the Table of Uses, in particular the definitions of guest ranches, resorts, bed and breakfasts, and, for the sake of the Boulder Planning Cont'd on page 2

The Disgusting Brothers are ready to rock The Saddlery in Torrey after the July 27 screening of "Festival Express" closes out the 2019 Bicknell International Film Festival.

TORREY - The Disgusting Brothers will be featured at the Bicknell International Film Festival (BIFF) closing party. Following the Saturday, July 27 showing of “Festival Express,” the band will rock the house at The Saddlery in Torrey.

The DB’s, as they are known, have played for 40 years, mainly to help raise funds for nonprofit groups.

This eclectic group includes a lock salesman, a mattress magnate, an ER doctor, an actor, a liver transplant specialist, a bioengineer, and two professional musicians.

The 2019 BIFF, a program of the Entrada Institute, celebrates an iconic event in U. S. cultural history. On Friday and Saturday, July 26 and 27, “BIFFSTOCK: All the Fun Without the Mud” pays homage to the 50th anniversary of Woodstock.

The DB’s didn’t hesitate when asked to participate.

They said, “We heard that every year BIFF screens and celebrates the most disgusting B movies in the world. The DB’s think their brand of old rock & roll fit right in with the Woodstock theme. And, we love to play for old people who un-

derstand the music, especially if it’s really hot and sweaty in the Bicknell/Torrey desert.”

They added, “Get ready to dance, and grab your earplugs. We’re bringing the soundtrack to your life…and it’s loud!”

A ticket to each film is also a ticket to the parties.

More information about BIFF and a link to purchase tickets is available at www.thebiff. org or on Facebook.

Garfield County Commission July 8 GARFIELD COUNTY An abbreviated meeting.

Commissioner David Tebbs was excused; Commissioner Jerry Taylor and Commissioner Leland Pollock constituted the quorum for the meeting. The first half hour was a closed (executive) session to discuss personnel and possible litigation.

Commissioner Pollock decided to forego the commissioner’s board reports “in the interest of time.”

Wrong Again...

In the July 4 Insider Garkane CEO Dan McClendon attempted to clear up Mclean Durfey’s “misconception” about Garkane management’s spending of capital credits for giveaways and other pet projects, telling him and us that “unclaimed capital credits” are a special fund that must be used for charity or returned to the state. What he does not tell us is that unclaimed capital credits are deliberately created by holding member overpayments for thirty years before any margin is returned.

Now; where are you going to be in thirty years? Well, you may be long gone from the area or dead, and your beneficiaries are likely to be either off the radar, uninformed, or not interested in playing a thirty year game

of piecemeal returns. At any rate, Garkane has thirty years of your overpayments that neither you nor your posterity will ever recover in full. Even if you remain in the Garkane service area for thirty years and begin receiving refunds, your overcharge for the current year will be greater than the refund, and your capital credits will continue to grow.

By Garkane policy, your capital credits ARE destined to be “renamed” and parceled out in partisan giveaways, sending director member’s own children on tour to Washington D.C., and the like.

What are the chances Garkane “managers” will be able, or will even want, to locate you or your heirs thirty years from now? (Perhaps you received a list of 4,379 names

of former members lost to Garkane- members from long ago that are only now eligible for refunds.) What % of those 4,379 former members do you think will lose their capital credits to the unclaimed capital credit fund?

Well, Mr. McClendon and board members, a capital credit that accrued from an overcharge in a power bill thirty years ago is a capital credit that should have been returned to respective members many, many years ago.

Just because you hold our capital credits for thirty years so you can rename them, and craft legislation so you can give our money away to whomever you choose doesn’t mean those capital credits couldn’t have been used to reduce electric rates. That’s ex-

actly what coops are formed to do. A coop should save us money by returning margins to members so we can afford to send our own children and grandchildren to college.

There should be no such thing as unclaimed capital credits. In a coop, over payments should be returned to members; and, management should see that that happens.

Unclaimed capital credits are proof of mismanagement. (I requested that Mr. McClendon explain this “thirty year rotation” in detail in the last HIGHLIGHTS, but my request was ignored. I asked again to have it explained in the forthcoming HIGHLIGHTS. We will see.)

Dear Editor, I’d like to clear up a misconception about Color Country Animal Welfare, a 100% volunteer organization committed to the well-being of animals in Wayne County.

Some people have suggested that Color Country “steals” animals, particularly working dogs. This is not the case.

Color Country is a resource to temporarily take in found animals with the goal of reuniting them with their owners as soon as possible, and where no owner can be found, we care for the animal until it is adopted.

A recent example is that a person unfamiliar with this area picked up a dog and her six young puppies that he believed to be abandoned on

a mountain, and he brought them to Color Country. We immediately provided care for the dog and posted her photo and information on Facebook, and we attempted to contact the possible owners that some responders suggested. In this case, the dog was a working dog whose owner had not realized she’d been missing.

Some have suggested Color Country should refuse to accept working dogs and instead require their return to where they were found.

This is an unfeasible and irresponsible solution for any animal services organization.

First, many of those bringing us found dogs are tourists unfamiliar with local working dogs. Second, to refuse temporary attention to a dog sim-

ply due to its breed means that those of us with a pet that is a working breed would be less likely to get notice of our dog being lost or injured.

This brings me to my next point. For reasons of safety, working dogs often cannot wear collars. A lack of collar (and ID tag) is one reason why people believe a dog is stray. A helpful solution to quickly identify a dog’s owner is to implant an electronic ID chip in the dog. Dr. Jake Van Dyke at Fremont River Veterinary Clinic in Lyman implants chips for $35; he and CCAW each has a chip reader to identify an owner.

Color Country’s mission is ultimately the health and welfare of dogs and cats, which includes returning a

pet to its owner as soon as possible. It is inevitable that well-meaning people – mainly tourists – will pick up dogs they believe to be lost or stray.

Color Country is their only resource for these animals other than the travelers taking the dogs with them as they leave the county.

If you find or lose an animal – working dog or pet -please contact Color Country Animal Welfare at 435-4912050 or send us a message at https://www.facebook.com/ ColorCountryAnimalWelfare/.

Correction: Wayne County Commission July 1,

by Veronica Egan, page 6.

Veronica Egan states in her article, “Incidentally Kunze inquired whether the commissioners knew of any young people looking for work who might be interested in working for these farms. Adus Dorsey also mentioned that scholarship funds were avail-

able to train people for these positions."

The correction to Ms. Egan’s article is; Wayne County Economic Development Director Adus Dorsey did have a private hallway conversation with Mr. Kunze and in the course of that private conversation Adus Dorsey was explaining to Mr. Kunze certain resources that are

available through the Wayne County Economic Development Office, which include various educational scholarship opportunities, which can be found on the Wayne County Economic Development web page waynecountyutah. org if anyone is interested.

Although the Wayne County Economic Development Office does appreciate

the plug from Ms. Egan, business and educational resources, and scholarship opportunities are very specific and inquiries should be made to any Economic Development office for further verification.

Boulder Planning

not be feasible, as adding a line would be a major expense. Conversation ensued about the requirement of cash bonds, which protect the town but also may be a limiting factor in the affordability of subdividing a lot. The Commissioners voted to send the revised ordinance to the Town Council.

Next came a public hearing and discussion about a CUP for the Boulder Creek Ranch sign. The sign ordinance currently requires signs to be under 10 feet, however the Boulder Creek ranch-style gate sign is currently at 15 feet. While they have taken the sign down and are planning on lowering it to 8 feet, the Commissioners discussed that hay trucks may be unable to pass through a ranch gate with a sign below 10 feet, and perhaps the ordinance should be changed so that this sign, and future signs, can be higher. The CUP was approved, with a note that a change to

the ordinance may be forthcoming. This change will be drafted and discussed next month.

Following this, Commissioners continued the discussion on enhancing economic opportunity in town. The Table of Uses will be reviewed so that certain small-scale commercial businesses could be allowed in areas outside of commercial zones. This could, for example, help the town bring in services such as an automotive, welding, or repair shop, as well as professional offices. Limits could be placed on these operations, including the size of facilities and number of employees. It was proposed that light manufacturing be broken down into different categories and be allowed in mixed-use areas. It was also proposed that stricter definitions of professional office and home occupation be made, and subsequently allowed in zones beyond commercial. Suggestions for lan-

guage including conditions and limitations will be discussed next month.

Perry Tancredi, Planning Commission chair, will be moving out of town. He expressed his thanks towards the other Commissioners as well as to the townspeople who have, all together, worked hard to benefit Boulder.

Public comments ensued.

One commenter recommended that the Planning Commission add an Agricultural Zone, following the County’s definitions for this type of zone.

Lots would be a minimum of 6 acres, which would preserve green space and agricultural activities, and could provide housing for a single family as well as a farm hand. The Commissioners will discuss this point further at the next meeting.

The Planning Commission meets at the Boulder Community Center on the second Thursday of each month at 7pm.

Discussion then continued about the Sugarloaf Valley application. The layout of the property was reviewed and it was stated that it fits squarely within the definition of a guest ranch. At capacity, it would hold twenty to thirty people. One minor issue is that the site lighting of the stable apartment must be shielded, which will be addressed. A public hearing will occur at the next meeting.

Following this was a public hearing and discussion on the amendment to the Subdivision Ordinance, which would require water be available to each lot before being sold, and updates bonding and fire code requirements.

As it is currently written, the fire marshal has jurisdiction over whether adding a water line for the sake of fire protection is feasible. Examples were provided about what would be considered feasible or infeasible, for example a subdivision proposed along a road in which hydrants could easily be added would be feasible, while a lot split off from a larger lot that is a half mile from the road would

DWR K9s Help Track Runaway Juveniles and Detect Illegally Caught Fish

The Insider

CourTesy uTaH Division of WilDlife resourCes

Conservation Officer Matt Burgess and his black Lab, K9 Cruz, assisted in a vehicle checkpoint near Strawberry Reservoir to check licenses, fish sizes and limits, and general compliance with other laws.

SALT LAKE CITY - Although they recently finished training, two new Utah Division of Wildlife Resources K9 conservation officers are already hard at work. Last weekend, the officers successfully assisted other agencies with searches and caught people illegally fishing.

Southern Utah DWR Conservation Officer Josh Carver and his K9, a chocolate Labrador retriever named Carlo, were asked to assist the Iron County Sheriff’s Office and the Brian Head Marshal’s Office in a search for two male juveniles who ran away from a treatment facility on July 7 near Brian Head. Carver and Carlo quickly responded to the scene, where Carlo began tracking the scent.

“When we arrived, the boys had about a two-hour head start,” Carver said. “I sent Carlo on the last known location of the boys, and he began tracking like a mad man. We dropped down a mountain, then ended up on a dirt road. As I got to the road, I thought the tracks and odor just disappeared. Carlo, however, went across the road and continued to track. It was awesome!”

The pair tracked the juveniles’ scent for about 4 miles, eventually coming to an old abandoned school bus where Carver located a set of tracks that matched the shoe and size of one of the boys.

However, Carver called off their search when it got dark.

The Iron County Search and Rescue teams continued searching until about 1:30 a.m.

The next morning, search teams discovered several homes in Brian Head had been burglarized, according to the Brian Head Marshal’s Office, and Carver and Carlo were again called in to help locate the juveniles. They tracked for about 6 miles before being notified by officials that a sighting of the boys had been reported.

“As soon as I got Carlo

out of the truck, he hit the scent and we just started moving,” Carver said. “We tracked about a half mile until he stopped and dug up a knife and keys. Then he headed another 20 yards and located a jacket in the trees. We tracked every single step they took.

When I lost their tracks, Carlo kept tracking, and about 10 minutes later, I would find a footprint.”

Carlo and Carver located the boys hiding in some brush along State Route 143.

“Their parents had flown in and were looking for the boys with the program director and staff, and they saw Carlo find the boys,” Carver said. “Later, they came over and hugged Carlo and thanked him for finding the boys. Then I took him back to the truck, and he drank water for 10 minutes. He sat in the cool air conditioning and just rested with a big smile on his face.”

“In rural Utah, we work with many other small law enforcement agencies,” DWR Lt. Paul Washburn said. They are great to assist us whenever we need it, and we like to return the favor as often as we can. It is great to see Officer Carver and K9 Carlo's hard

work pay off in a case like this where we are able to assist another agency with our specialized resources.”

Northern Utah At the same time the southern Utah search was happening, Conservation Officer Matt Burgess and his black Lab, K9 Cruz, were assisting in a vehicle checkpoint at the opposite end of the state, near Strawberry Reservoir. During the checkpoint, they checked licenses, fish sizes and limits, and general compliance with other laws.

Along with 14 other DWR conservation officers, they stopped 254 vehicles, issued 30 citations and seized 47 fish that were taken illegally. The conservation officers then donated the fish to the food bank in Heber City.

“Cruz was instrumental in finding fish and was able to locate their odor on one of the vehicle door handles during a stop,” Burgess said. “It’s always amazing watching him work and seeing how instrumental he is in helping us do our jobs to protect Utah’s wildlife.”

Strong Job Availability Boosts Attitudes on the Economy, Housing Remains a Pressing Issue SALT LAKE CITY The Zions Bank Utah Consumer Attitude Index (CAI) increased 2.4 points to 115.6 in June. Year over year, the CAI has risen 3.8 points. In comparison, the national Consumer Confidence Index® decreased 9.8 points to 121.5 this month.

The Utah Present Situation Index rose 2.4 points to 128.5 this month, 1.7 points higher than in June 2018.

Both the month-to-month and year-over-year increases were due to Utahns’ strengthening confidence in job availability.

Now 66% of Utahns believe that jobs are plentiful, the highest point ever recorded since Zions Bank began measuring Utahns’ economic sentiment in January 2011. The current level of job optimism is 6% higher than last month and 7% higher than in June 2018. Utahns’ confidence in current general business conditions is at the three-year av-

erage, with 59% feeling conditions are good.

The Utah Expectations Index increased 2.1 points to 107.0, a jump of 5.1 points since June 2018. Job and income positivity are the leading causes of Utahns’ rising expectations: 36% of Utahns believe their household income will increase within the next six months, 6% more than last year. Additionally, fewer Utahns are pessimistic about job availability prospects, with only 12% believing that fewer jobs will be available in the next six months, a drop of 4% from June 2018.

Utahns feel that the availability of affordable housing has improved slightly since last year. Fewer Utahns are spending large portions of their income on housing; 27% of Utahns report they spend 40% or more of their monthly income on housing, down 2% since last year and 19% spend 50% or more, also down 2%

since last year.

Though the affordability of housing appears to be improving, Utahns feel similarly about the supply of housing as they did last year. The percent of Utahns who feel that housing within their area and price range is readily available has remained essentially unchanged at 34%. Still, new housing developments are drawing Utahns’ attention: 21% of Utahns have considered moving into new housing developments emerging across Utah.

“There are many moving parts when it comes to supply meeting demand for housing,” said Randy Shumway, chairman and partner of Cicero Group. “Utah’s economic boom has brought more high-paying jobs to Utah and raised many Utahns’ incomes and, therefore, the price they’re willing to pay for housing. But supply constraints such as land availability and city development limitations make it difficult to match supply and demand in the near term.”

Zions Bank provides the CAI as a free resource to the communities of Utah. The monthly CAI summary reports are released at a monthly press conference, coinciding with The Conference Board’s national CCI release date. Analysis and data collection for the CAI are done

by Cicero Group, a premier management consulting firm focused on implementing data-driven strategies for a broad mix of private, public, and social sector organizations across the globe. The July CAI will be released during a press conference at a local business at 10:30 a.m. on July 30.

Simply Perfect Ways to Give to Charity

t H e

by Jeffery J. mCkenna When doing your estate planning, you have the chance to benefit those individuals and institutions that benefited you in your lifetime. Many charitable donors have shown their appreciation to different charities by making provisions for the organization in their wills or trusts.

Whether you have a large or small estate, it is very easy to make a simple charitable donation in your will or trust.

First, when doing your estate planning, you can inform your estate planning attorney that you want a certain percentage, or a specific amount, of your estate to be distributed to the particular charity (this can be a church, school, or other charitable organization). Your gift does not have to be large. Small amounts add up.

Your example of generosity and civic-mindedness, evidenced by a provision in your will or trust to provide for a specific charity, may be of more lasting value to your loved ones than the assets you actually leave them.

The simple process of leaving a certain percentage of your estate to the charity can be accomplished through

a will or trust. The procedure should not increase the cost of your estate plan nor the estate administration.

Another very simple method to provide for a charitable bequest upon your death is to add the charity as a beneficiary of your IRA. The process would require you to visit with your IRA provider and request that a new IRA account be established with whatever amount you want from your existing IRA account. This new account (or existing account if you want to use the entire amount of your existing account) would name the desired charity as the beneficiary.

Giving the charitable organization a portion of your IRA has many tax advantages.

Upon your death, the proceeds in the IRA would be paid directly to the charity. Significantly, no income taxes would have to be paid. If the IRA proceeds were distributed to your children or grandchildren, they would have to pay income tax on the distribution. Using an IRA to make a simple bequest to a charity greatly benefits the organization, and saves income taxes for your heirs. Additionally, it can save estate taxes as well.

Boulder Council Cont'd from page 1

officially accepted at this meeting, as an Ordinance to adopt it must be voted on, which is currently being worked on by the town attorney. A vote will take place at the next meeting.

Following this, came a discussion on permit fees for processing town applications, such as subdivision and other land use applications. The ordinances state that a fee will be charged, but the amounts are not specified and have not generally been collected. These fees would go into the administrative section of the budget to offset the costs of processing applications and compensate the time of the Town Clerk and other employees. It was proposed that the fees should be based upon the amount of time needed for processing, approximately $25 for most types of applications, and $75 for subdivision applications, which take much longer. The Town Clerk will be consulted to see if these fees are appropriate, and a vote will take place at the next meeting.

Department reports followed. The new projector screen for the community center has been purchased

and will be mounted soon.

The landfill is getting full, and digging a new pit or burning a section may be necessary soon. The sign for the Boulder Cemetery on Highway 12 has been run over and a new one will have to be purchased. It will be set back further from the road to prevent future incidents. The Wildfire Council recently held an informational public meeting. They are looking at ways to create accessible maps and information about properties for the sake of fire safety. They are also considering what to do about the fire danger of dried prolific grass species in the area. One idea was that the Town could purchase weeding equipment, which could be rented out by residents. They are also looking into bringing a chipper to town to remove tree debris that pose a fire risk. For the Town Park, money has been appropriated to fix the shed door, paint the pavilion roof, and purchase picnic tables and a portable stage. The Park Committee will be contacted to see who can head these projects.

The Boulder Town Council meets at the Boulder Community Center on the first Thursday of every month at 7pm.

"The Hawk Tree" From Fence Lines,

by Ray Conrad.

Published by Avalanche Creek Productions, 2009.

There's an old dead tree by the pasture fence, A skeletal, leafless old snag.

This week's answers on page 12

If green young pines are like lovely young girls, Well, this one's a spiky old hag.

But two big hawks have been hanging out there, Redtails, if I have it right, Perched wing to wing on the topmost branch, Alert for what prey comes in sight.

They knew that I watched in my telescope.

They didn't seem miffed, or offended, But the last couple days they have not come around.

The relationship seems to have ended.

Their hearing is keen. Have they heard us talk, Of flying to Albuquerque, To do the Thanksgiving thing with our kids.

All the pie, and the stuffing and turque.

If I was those hawks I would hit the road, too, If I had just gotten the word, That my neighbor, and friend, was licking his chops, About dining upon a large bird.

Be a Responsible Recreator in Utah’s Outdoors

by Terry messmer, uTaH sTaTe universiTy exTension WilDlife sPeCialisT

UTAH - A report released by the Utah Office of Outdoor Recreation touted that outdoor recreation in Utah contributes more than $12.3 billion to the economy and provides jobs for more than 100,000 people.

Utah outdoor recreation also generates over $737 million in state and local tax revenues and provides over $3.9 billion in wages and salaries.

Major contributors to this impact are activities often referred to as “quiet recreation.”

These include camping, hiking, fishing, wildlife viewing and biking. Quiet recreation is generally non-motorized activity that excludes off-highway vehicle use, power boating, snowmobiling or driving for sightseeing. A report released by the Bureau of Land Management suggests that over 75 percent of outdoor recreation on public lands in Utah is quiet recreation.

As more people recreate in the outdoors, the chance of encountering wildlife also increases. By camping, hiking and biking irresponsibly, you may endanger yourself, your family and future visitors. If a wild animal receives a food reward from a human source, it can become food-

conditioned.

This behavior can lead to the removal or death of the animal and increased risk of human injury. A recent issue of the journal, “Human-Wildlife Interactions,” published by the Utah State University Berryman Institute, featured case studies and research from around the world that reported on increased conflicts between humans and bears as a result of people acting irresponsibly.

Consider these tips to help you enjoy Utah’s great outdoors and wildlife.

1. Store food carefully.

• Do not leave food out. If an animal can see or smell food inside your vehicle, it may try to break in.

• Secure food and trash in odor-free, bear-proof containers.

• Keep food and strongsmelling toiletries 100 yards away from your sleeping area.

• Hang trash or food 10 feet above the ground and 10 feet from the trunk of the tree or pole.

• Do not leave pet food or dishes outside.

• Do not put trash in the fire pit, and do not burn it.

• Do not set food out to de-

liberately attract animals to your camp or picnic site.

2. Hike and bike with safety in mind.

• Stay alert at dawn and dusk when animals are most active.

• Always hike, jog or bike with a companion, and make noise to alert wildlife of your presence.

• Keep children safe when hiking. Keep them within the group or in sight ahead of your group.

• Avoid wearing ear buds or headphone, which can prevent you from hearing approaching wildlife.

• Stay away from animal carcasses. There could be an

dogs to “play” with, harass or chase wildlife, as it is against Utah law.

3. Avoid wildlife on the trail.

• Stay at least 50 feet (approximately three car lengths) away from wildlife. Always give the animal a clear escape route.

A crowded animal could become stressed and unpredictable.

• Snakes hide well on open trails and dense grasses. Be aware of your surroundings. Keep pets leashed.

• Don’t let children or pets play with snakes. Look carefully where you set your hands and feet and

unseen predator guarding its prey.

• Stay on designated trails, and do not toss food or trash.

• When hiking with pets, keep them supervised and under control. Dogs off leash can chase, injure or kill wildlife. Do not allow

where you sit. Always stay on paths and cleared areas, and wear closed-toed shoes while hiking.

SALT LAKE CITY USDA Rural Development Utah State Director Randy Parker today announced that USDA is investing $3.7 million in three projects that will improve rural water infrastructure for communities in central and southeast Utah.

“USDA is committed to long-term rural prosperity, which includes meeting the critical water needs of communities in arid states like ours,” Parker said. “The investments we’re announcing today will make essential improvements to water infrastructure in three rural Utah areas, which will allow for advanced public safety and economic development.”

Central Valley Town in Sevier County is receiving a $30,000 grant and $60,000 loan to redevelop the town cu-

linary water system. Restoring the town springs and improving various components will ensure the system provides clean, reliable water. USDA has previously obligated $723,000 in loans and grants for this project.

The Town of Anabella, also in Sevier County, is receiving a $527,000 loan and $250,000 grant to make major culinary water system improvements. The system has experienced operational trouble with source wells, resulting in inadequate supply.

To meet safety standards, this project will replace pipes, repair a chlorination building, renovate a storage tank, and install modern systems and meters to monitor and direct water use.

Spanish Valley Water and Sewer Improvement

District, which serves the Spanish Valley area of northern San Juan County and a portion of south Grand County, is receiving a $1,950,000 loan and $942,000 grant.

This project will replace and expand a significant portion of the current water service area. More than 1,600 feet of aging or low-capacity pipe must be replaced along with well and chlorination system improvements. Previous funding for this project includes $4,780,000 in USDA loans and grants.

Funding is provided through the Water and Waste Disposal Loan and Grant program. Rural communities, water districts and other eligible entities can use the funds for drinking water, stormwater drainage and waste disposal systems in rural communities

with 10,000 or fewer residents.

Nationally, USDA announced investing $192 million for 71 projects in 29 states, benefiting 169,000 rural Americans.

USDA Rural Development provides loans and grants to help expand economic opportunities and create jobs in rural areas.

This assistance supports infrastructure improvements; business development; housing; community facilities such as schools, public safety and health care; and highspeed internet access in rural areas. For more information, visit www.rd.usda.gov/ut.

Hidden Vegetables

It can be difficult to get your children to eat enough vegetables, especially if they are picky eaters. Hiding vegetables in other dishes is one way to avoid any disliked flavors or textures. However, there are pros and cons to taking this approach that you need to consider: Hiding vegetables may increase the intake and variety of vegetables in the diet while decreasing calories.

There are several drawbacks to consider. First, because children are not exposed to the taste of the vegetable, they may not learn to like the taste. Secondly, many hidden vegetable recipes only contain a small amount of vegetables, so they don’t increase intake significantly. Third, it is difficult to cook with your children and use hidden vegetables. This is a problem because we know that when

children are involved in cooking they are much more likely to eat the foods prepared. Finally, children (and adults!) may feel tricked if they learn you are hiding vegetables in their food. This may harm the trust in your relationship and may even cause them to dislike the vegetable even more.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Hiding Vegetables Benefits of hiding vegetables: • Increased intake of vegetables in diet • Better variety of vegetables in diet • Decreased calories Drawbacks of hiding vegetables: • Children are not exposed to the taste of the vegetable, so they may not learn to like it.

• Many hidden vegetable recipes only include a small amount of vegetables.

• It is difficult to cook with your children and use hidden vegetables.

• Children may feel tricked

if they learn what you are doing, harming the trust in your relationship. It may even cause the children to dislike the vegetable in question even more!

If you choose to cook with hidden vegetables, it is very important to also serve vegetables that are not hidden as a part of meals and snacks.

This will help your child learn to like the taste of vegetables, and will teach your child that vegetables are an important part of every meal. It will also give your child a chance to learn by watching you—so make sure you eat the vegetables you serve.

Hidden vegetable recipes often only include a small amount of vegetables.

It is important to realize how many vegetables are in a serving of the recipe and decide for yourself if it is worth the extra work. To figure out the amount of vegetables your child would get from a recipe, divide the total cups of vegetables used in the recipe by the number of servings. The best

way to cook with hidden vegetables is to switch out a food item that has a lot of calories with finely grated or pureed vegetables. This will not only add additional vegetables to the diet but will also reduce the total number of calories in the dish. It is easiest to include vegetable purees in mixed dishes like casseroles or soups, in smoothies, and in baked dishes like cakes, brownies, sweet breads, or muffins. To make vegetable purees, first cook the vegetables and then use a blender or a food processor to puree them. You can save time by starting with canned vegetables or buying pureed baby food.

Hunger-Fighting Group: Food Tax Hike Hurts Low-Income Utah Families

aDoBe sToCk

Many Utah families most likely won't be able to buy as many groceries if a proposal to increase the state sales tax on food goes into effect.

SALT LAKE CITY - An advocacy group is opposing a massive increase in the sales tax on food as one of the changes being proposed for Utah state taxes.

Utahns Against Hunger has said a proposed 177% increase in state sales taxes on food could harm many lowincome people and increase the rate of food insecurity across the state. Gina Cornia, the group's executive director, said the plan to tax food at the full state sales-tax rate of 4.85% would hit impoverished families with children hardest.

"From grocery trip to grocery trip, when you add up the sales tax on food, that may not seem like a lot to most people," she said, "but even if it's a few dollars, that's a few more dollars that you don't have to purchase groceries for your family."

The hike is part of a plan under study by the Utah Legislature's Tax Restructuring and Equalization Task Force,

which was appointed near the end of the last session. The group of legislators and elected officials has been holding a series of town hall meetings around the state to develop a new tax structure, in a state economy where services are outpacing the sale of goods.

Cornia said an increase in food taxes would cost the average family about $20 extra a month, or slightly more than $240 a year.

"For the 15 percent of people who already are struggling to afford enough food, it will impact each one of those households," she said, "and when you look at households with children, that's one in six households."

She said she thinks lawmakers should look elsewhere to find more revenue for the state's coffers.

"It is important for us to think about the impacts of tax reform and to look at more progressive policies," she said.

"Taxing food is a very regres-

sive tax, and it disproportionately impacts the people who can least afford to pay it."

While SNAP benefits or food stamps are available to many poor families, Cornia said, they don't cover most of the monthly food bill. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, low-income families spend more than onethird of their income on food, while middle-class families spend about 13% of their income.

The remaining town halls will be held Saturday, July 20, at Grand Center, 182 N. 500 W. in Moab, with an open house beginning at 1 p.m. and the town-hall meeting starting at 2; and on Tuesday, July 30, at Utah County, Silicon Slopes/UTC, 2600 Executive Parkway, Suite 140, in Lehi, with an open house beginning at 6 p.m. and the meeting starting at 7 p.m. —Mark Richardson, Utah News Connection

Commissioner Pollock brought up the business of at least two cattle guards that need to be installed near new fencing. Taylor brought up the Wide Hollow Reservoir Road and possible need there too, as well as cattle warning signs.

Planning Department business was a public hearing on amendments to the Mobile Home and Recreational Coach ordinance. Planner Kaden Figgins summarized the amendments, which included only incorporating prior amendments into the single document as well as proofing edits.

In Public Hearing, a Blue Springs resident asked about ordinance restrictions on mobile homes. Figgins said as of 2006 no mobile homes are to be connected to power or utilities on undeveloped land, and there is a 30-day limit for staying in such vehicles. If the RV is being used as a dwelling during home construction, 60 days are allowed. The resident said several other people besides herself were similarly living in trailers in that area, and they were unaware of any ordinance forbidding that. Attorney Huntington said there is a process for acting on a complaint, but the resident said no one is complaining.

Another resident asked the planner to identify the ordinance changes. Figgins said the old version, which will remain for a time on the county website, contains several additions which were never incorporated into the full document. The new version incorporating those previous amendments also will be uploaded to the website upon approval. The Commission approved adopting the ordinance amendments.

In department business, a full-time position for Deputy Treasurer was approved for advertising, to replace the current employee who is resigning.

Three business licenses were approved: One for a short-term rental outside Hatch; one for Horse Valley Fish Camp short term rental, and the third for Uptop Throttle Company Expeditions to rent ATVs on Highway 12 near Bryce.

The Commission approved $2K for the Hospital Foundation’s annual Golf Tournament and dinner fund raiser. The tournament is Aug 2; the dinner is Aug 29.

An item that hadn’t made it on the agenda was Lori Talbot, Panguitch City manager, who wanted to return $1K of the $3K the commission had given to the Balloon Festival.

Commissioner Pollock suggested the funds be turned over to Benj Rains and the horseshoe pits in Panguitch. It was decided since the money

was already in the Panguitch coffers, it didn’t need to be on the commission’s agenda if Panguitch City wanted to transfer those funds to the pits.

Finally, Clerk Moore and Attorney Barry Huntington will create an employee policy for the commission to review, in preparation for upcoming employee training.

Garfield County Commission meets the 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month. The next meeting will be July 22 in the Commission chambers at the Panguitch Courthouse.
