BLM Hosts Scoping Meetings for GSENM

KANAB - The Bureau of Land Management will host three in-person and two virtual public scoping meetings as part of the ongoing land use planning for Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. The public is encouraged to help identify any issues or concerns that should be addressed in the planning process.

Public comments will be used to help set parameters and scope for the revised resource management plan.

“Our outcomes are driven by public input, so we welcome public participation throughout the planning process,” said Paria River District Manager Harry Barber. “This is the public’s opportunity to influence the direction of the revised resource management plan, which will have lasting effects on Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.”

The BLM invites members of the public to attend virtual public meetings via Zoom. Advance registration is required; upon registration, an email containing a unique link to join the meeting will be provided.

Virtual public scoping meetings are scheduled as follows: Scoping Meetings Cont'd on page 2

When Shumway and his husband and creamery coowner, A.C. Ivory, moved to Wayne County last year, they missed hand-crafted ice cream. Early this spring, the

idea just sort of came to them.

“Maybe we should be the ones to bring it here,” they said, considering Shumway was no stranger to ice cream making.

August 2022 BOULDER - The August 2022 Boulder Town Council (TC) meeting began by discussing the Zoning Administrator (ZA) position. Some residents have wanted there to be a local ZA, as the current ZA works remotely. A letter written by the Chair of the Planning Commission (PC) stated his belief that the current ZA is experienced and should stay on to avoid another transition. A section from the ordinances was read, which stated that the ZA needs to make certain inspections in person such as setbacks, and all water and sewage disposal systems. These things cannot be signed off on remotely. A resident has volunteered to be the new ZA, and discussion ensued about whether it could work to have a local person who would Boulder Council Cont'd on page 3

Commissioners Wood, Blackburn and Brian were in attendance. The agenda was accepted and approved, with the addition of a resignation letter from Jeanie Webster. Minutes from the last commission meeting held on July 18th were accepted and approved.

The first order of business was the notice regarding defender data funding, which was presented by JoHanna Williams. The money for public defenders will no longer be coming from the Judge Advocate General (JAG), it will be coming from the Indigent Defense Commission (IDC).

Wayne County will not have to pay any monies for this position. This was accepted and approved.

I’m headed out of town this week on a family trip— I’m still catching up with family whom I haven’t seen since COVID hit. And this is my second attempt, because, speaking of COVID, instead of going on the trip I’d intended six weeks ago, I got COVID instead, and couldn’t get on the plane. I became symptomatic literally hours before boarding, tested positive, and had to change plans, turn around (from Salt Lake City) and come home.

Fingers crossed this trip works out. Which is why I am masking in public spaces, even though I’m vaxxed, boosted and now also inoculated with the thing itself.

Fortunately for many of us, it seems symptoms are mild these days—they were for me—but I’ve learned that getting COVID can really muck up your plans. So it still seems prudent to be careful.

Performances:

The Boulder Arts Council is sponsoring two nights of performances by D’Dat Trio and SB Dance in Boulder Town Park on August 19 and 20.

Boulder Performances Cont'd from page 1

Native American sound with contemporary jazz, funk and hip-hop. What a treat this award-winning group will be to hear.

Following D’Dat on Friday night around 8 p.m., SB Dance will take the stage to perform their Curbside Theater. It’s a mixture of movement, theater, music and athleticism—what their director, Stephen Brown, calls “edgy art.” Their performance for the evening is titled “All Those Kinds of Love” and features international songs from the 50s and 60s.

Curbside Theater, says Brown, operates pop-up style, so is able to bring theater art to people outside of the normal theater environment. The group performed in Boulder last summer, and the reaction was so enthusiastic that the Boulder Arts Council wanted to bring them back.

But wait, those are just the performances slated for Friday night. On Saturday, August 20 at 7 p.m., the two

groups will return to Boulder Town Park for a whole new show, so make sure you attend both nights as the performances will be different.

Raffi and Ischa, two of the musician/vocalists who are part of the Curbside Theater, will kick off Saturday’s show.

Campy, sultry, vaudevillian describe this dynamic duo, who cite Norah Jones, David Bowie, and Prince as some of their influences. At about 8 p.m., the first-time-ever collaboration between SB Dance and D’Dat will take place.

Curbside Theater will present “Untitled,” a brand new piece with D’Dat providing music.

This promises to be a first-rate improvisational pairing, so make sure you’re in the audience to experience it.

Kids, adults, grandmas and grandpas are all welcome, and the event, sponsored by the Boulder Arts Council and Utah Division of Arts and Museums, is free. You might want to bring an outdoor chair or blanket to sit on. And please leave your dog happy at home.

The Facts About Garfield County Rural County Grant Funds In the "FYI Panguitch" article of May 5, 2022, edition of The Insider, Mack Oetting said: “It would be nice if our Commissioner's would take advantage of the Economic Development Grant Program and put in some low-cost housing. We have a number of people living in our motels full time. People have had to leave here because they can‘t find housing. I see that Bryce Valley has continued with this program for many years to build low-cost housing. I believe this goes back at least 20 years, when they first started with those homes northwest of town.”

Here are the facts: Fact 1: The Board of Garfield County Commissioners does not choose how to spend the Rural County Grant funds.

Utah State Code requires each rural county seeking to utilize the State’s Rural County Grant Program (RCGP) to establish an Economic Development Advisory (CED) Board to “assist and advise the County Commission on what projects should be funded by grant money provided” from the RCGP. Therefore, the CED Board, along with the County Economic Development Director, make the recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners on how to spend the Rural County Grant funds. Additionally, each rural County only receives $200,000 of guaranteed funds each year from the State; and Garfield County, which is a 5th Class County, only receives the $200k if we provide 20% in matching funds ($40,000).

Fact 2: The Garfield CED Board has funded affordable

housing projects every year since the Rural County Grant Program was created. The affordable housing development northeast (not northwest) of Tropic Town was purchased

by NeighborWorks Mountain Country Home Solutions (NMCHS), an affordable housing development nonprofit. NMCHS purchased the affordable housing subdivision and built two new homes in the subdivision which were completed earlier this Spring. Additionally, NMCHS purchased two lots in Escalante, where they are nearing completion of four affordable housing units and have plans to build more units on the other lot in the near future.

To date, NMCHS has been awarded the highest RCGP award amount from the CED Board, totaling $50,000.

In addition, the CED Board awarded $35,000 to Beaver Housing Authority to build five units in Panguitch and $15,000 to Suzanne Catlett to remodel an old laundromat into a studio apartment for an employee of Nemo’s Restaurant in Escalante; both projects were completed in the Spring of 2022 as well.

Therefore, the Garfield County Economic Development Board and the County Commission have provided $100,000 in grant funding for affordable housing projects in the last two years, which equates to 33.9% of the total competitive grant funding awarded to date.

Understanding the Garfield County School District Tax Changes

GARFIELD COUNTY You’ll notice in this paper a Notice of Proposed Tax Increase – Garfield County School District, and you might also have received a Notice of Property Valuation and Tax Change from the Garfield County Auditor showing an increase of taxes from the School District and have questions.

Are my taxes going up?

Local levies to keep the rates essentially flat from the 2021 rates. This means that unless your property’s value went up, the amount of property tax you will pay this year will be roughly the same as you paid in 2021.

My Tax Notice showed a larger increase, why?

Your tax notice from the County likely showed that your taxes were increasing by

actual taxes paid for the School District Levies will be approximately the same. Take the included notice as an example.

Again, this is because we shifted rates around and kept the overall levy approximately the same as 2021.

What is this funding source for?

The legislature created a capital projects funding source specifically for small school

more affordable, or whether this subdivision clause exists in International Fire Code meaning that the town has to enforce it for all subdivisions. A TC member responded that it’s not only the town’s jurisdiction. If someone wants to connect to Boulder Farmstead Water, they have their own hydrant requirements. It was then asked if the town could decide to change the ordinances, to treat small subdivisions differently from larger ones, allowing small lots to be subdivided without a hydrant if the subdividor had an alternate, approved water source for fire suppression, and it was responded in the affirmative.

The Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan was discussed. The plan is a requirement for the Federal Emergency Management Act. States or counties that do not sign on are not able to apply for federal funds for hazard mitigation.

Progress on the Evacuation Plan was presented. The Fire Council has been helping the town create a system to notify residents of emergency situations. The Chain of Command is an essential element, as is a system for disseminating information between the Chain of Command and residents. Given unreliable connectivity, support has been voiced for a person-toperson approach, in which areas of town would be divided into smaller areas, or pods, where a designated leader would be the go-between, between those in their pod and the Chain of Command. Property identification forms would also be collected so that emergency services have updated information. The TC voiced their approval of pursuing this further.

Dual wording in ordinances was discussed. As the following changes are administrative, they can be done by making motions followed by a public hearing next month: Fire Marshal should be changed to Fire Authority throughout the ordinances, and the title of the current Fire Marshal should be changed to Fire Authority; and titles should be taken out of the Chain of Command and replaced by position numbers, so that each TC member will have a designated number that corresponds to their position in the Chain of Command, in contrast to the current system where the ordinances will have to be changed each time a TC position changes hands. Public hearings will occur next month.

Road standards are also inconsistent in the ordinances. It should state that new roads have 18 feet of driveable surface.

This will be sent to the PC for discussion and a public hearing, and then will return to the TC for another discussion and public hearing.

A complaint was received about Town minutes being behind. Unapproved minutes should be out within 15 days

be the “boots on the ground” while the current ZA would continue with administrative work. It was discussed that it could be paid per-project or per-hour. This was tabled until next month to give time for compiling the requirements for the job, advertising for it, and involving the ZA and the PC. Lights in the Community Center were discussed. The town would like to replace them with LEDs and put in timers. Because the expense is over $1,000, they are required to take bids. Advertising will occur, as well as further communication with the company who initially did the lights.

American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds have been deposited in the town account.

The Safe Routes to School money should come back to the town soon.

The Mayor pro-tem position was discussed. The protem would take on responsibilities, such as conducting meetings and holding a role in the Chain of Command in case of emergency, in the mayor’s absence. Jim Catmull was nominated. A TC member asked what the roles of this position are more specifically before voting. No definition of the position currently exists in the ordinances. It will be tabled until September to come up with a list of responsibilities and a definition.

Parking on the trail in front of the Boulder Mountain Lodge was discussed. A representative from the Lodge stated that no parking can occur on the actual trail, as the trail is demarcated by logs. They stated that the Lodge mows and maintains it and want it to be usable for their guests.

A TC member stated that a simple sign could say "Nature Trail," or something similar, to point people in that direction.

A representative from Hell’s Backbone Grill stated that the main people who end up parking near the trail are tourists with horse trailers and ATVs. More clarification about where people can and can’t park would be helpful. Impacting the ability of people to park would impact the Grill’s ability to provide employment.

They also asked how parking will be enforced, especially as this area can’t be seen from the restaurant and some of the parking is from other nearby businesses too. TC members stated that they want to work with the Lodge and Grill to make it work and give people a clearer way to find the trail and appropriate parking, with better signage, without removing parking spaces.

The blind hill on Burr Trail was discussed. Flashing speed signs could be placed on both sides of the road, though these are expensive. Trees will be trimmed back to encourage people to drive closer to the

sides of the road rather than the center. Speed dips could be put in. UDOT might cover some of the cost. More information will be presented in September.

A draft of an Electronic Meeting Ordinance was presented. These changes are necessary to align with the State Legislature. Members of the TC hadn’t received copies of the document so they will discuss further and vote on it next month.

A member of the PC presented on hydrants. It was stated at a previous meeting that hydrants are required, at the owner’s expense, for any new subdivision, and much discussion about this has since ensued.

Other jurisdictions in Utah were looked at, however, most legislation is written for smaller, more urban lots rather than the generally large lot sizes in Boulder.

The main issue that the PC identified is that requiring hydrants for small subdivisions, such as splitting off a single lot, interferes with the town’s goal of there being affordable land because adding the infrastructure is expensive. Another issue is whether only Boulder Farmstead water is acceptable, or if private lines could be approved when appropriate. Additionally, the number of required feet from a hydrant was discussed, as the number of feet required between a hydrant and a lot could differ largely from the number of feet between a hydrant and a home, as the lots are large.

The PC representative asked for input, so that they can begin working on updating the ordinances to match the town’s intentions.

A TC member responded, providing distance requirements from the International Fire Code. They also stated that on an existing lot, someone could build a house as far away from a hydrant as they want. The hydrant requirement is only for new subdivisions. The cost of the hydrant must be undertaken by the subdivider, not the buyers, because otherwise the question would arise over which lot would then pay. There has been a question over what “feasible” means as written in the ordinance, and the TC member stated that, based on conversations with lawyers, if a potential subdivider can’t afford to put in the hydrant then they can’t divide the lots. It was recommended by another TC member that the town attorney be consulted.

The PC will focus on infrastructure requirements for new subdivisions and be clear about distances between fire hydrants and buildings, and how to manage this when they don’t know ahead of time where a house may be built on a lot.

A member of the public asked whether the town, if they chose to, could decide to only make larger subdivisions require hydrants and allow one or two lot subdivisions to be split without hydrants to keep them

districts, like ours. We’re submitting a request for funding to help finance our new Elementary in Escalante. This would be a huge win for our District and speed up the timeline to address our other capital projects.

A Day in the Life: Health care services are often less available in rural settings, so preparing new nurses to work in rural settings is needed to continue to meet the needs of rural populations.—Brenda Luther, PhD, RN, College of Nursing Professor, University of Utah A Day in the Life Cont'd from page 1

urban counterparts.

Registered nurses (RNs) and health care teams who work within rural communities play a paramount role in caring for these underserved individuals and families—from before birth to end-of-life, rural RNs provide necessary health services to all.

However, it’s not easy to recruit and retain rural RNs. There is a knowledge and skill gap related to rural health care, and limited pathways for students to enter the field of rural nursing.

“Health care services are often less available in rural settings, so preparing new nurses to work in rural settings is needed to continue to meet the needs of rural populations,” said College of Nursing Professor Brenda Luther, PhD, RN. In response, College of Nursing (CON) faculty obtained a US Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Nurse Education, Practice, Quality, and Retention (NEPQR) grant to address the growing needs of Utah’s rural populations by providing students and rural RNs with training to work at the full scope of their licenses in rural primary care. NEPQR provides online training modules within CON baccalaureate curriculum, scholarships and travel funding for student nurses to gain rural primary care clinical experience, and training for RNs working in rural primary care to precept students and advance their professional roles.

NEPQR forged a partnership between CON faculty and WCHC to place students in rural clinical experiences while supporting WCHC RNs with training and resources. However, not every student is placed in a rural setting for their clinicals. How could faculty best show students an accurate depiction of life as a rural RN without visiting the clinic?

A request was made for a hard copy of ordinances. While the online codified ordinances are updated automatically, getting a hard copy would mean having to keep it updated. The Anasazi State Museum would charge 10 cents per page, which would end up about $16 for a hard copy. Sections would have to be reprinted when updates are made. Copies could be made for TC, PC and BOA members who request one, at the town’s expense. Other residents may

“The Day in the Life of a Rural Nurse is an authentic and realistic representation of rural nursing. For most undergraduate nursing students, understanding the role of a rural nurse is not possible to experience during their program and can be difficult to imagine,” said CON Associate Professor (Clinical) Jennifer Macali, DNP, RN, MPH. “Not only will students have a clear understanding of the wide array of opportunities to serve as a nurse in rural communities, but they will gain a wider perspective how the health care system is connected across the continuum of care. This video is an invaluable educational tool that has the potential to change the career trajectory of a future nurse.”

Josie Moosman, BSN, RN, works at WCHC and stars in the film. She and her team of health care professionals work at the top of their licensure within the clinic’s team-based care model, and were instrumental in creating the film. The varied day of a rural RN is typical of the profession—all roles shown in the film are true to the roles Moosman plays each day. In one shift at the clinic, she can be seen completing a well-baby checkup, performing an annual wellness visit, arranging a patient’s end-of-life care plan, covering emergency ambulance rides, or preparing an emergency patient for a helicopter transfer.

Moosman will continue her nursing education as she begins the CON's Doctor of Nursing Practice Program this fall—allowing her to provide even more community support as a nurse practitioner.

“I could not show students what it means to work in a rural community without the help of Josie and her team at Wayne Community Health Center.

We teach student in our classes about the challenges rural com-

munities face and help students learn all the skills to support patients and families to be healthy and optimally care for themselves; but we can’t give students the whole experience in our usual clinical experiences,” said Luther. “We want nurses to be prepared for rural nursing and want to work in rural settings; this grant and Josie’s team have helped us do that.”

Thanks to the NEPQR grant, The CON and WCHC now have a long-standing partnership. Through experiential education, WCHC allows CON students to gain experience within the field of community-based rural nursing, while learning about the importance of accessible health care for Utah’s underserved communities. WCHC and the CON have also collaborated on delivering state-wide webinars advocating and educating about the crucial roles of RNs. "Coming from a rural town myself, I am so thankful that the College of Nursing gave me the opportunity to go down to Wayne County for my clinical experiences. It was a privilege to be a part of the community and be taught by nurses truly setting the example for rural nurses,” said Hunter Robins, BSN, RN, a 2020 CON baccalaureate graduate who participated in a WCHC clinical. “This experience really opened my eyes to everything a nurse can be, and how nursing can be effective in so many different environments.

My time spent in Wayne County was one of my highlights of my education at the University of Utah.”

The Day in the Life of a Rural Nurse aims to expand on the current work and partnership of the CON and WCHC. As CON students participate in clinical experiences at WCHC or view the film, they will learn the unique role of a rural RN— and hopefully become one.

Department reports followed.

Planning Commission: The PC discussed fire hydrants and the upcoming community housing forum at their last meeting.

Boulder Art Council: A paper cutting workshop was just held. Music and dance performances are scheduled for the weekend of August 19 and 20.

Park Committee: The Park Committee wants to appoint their own members rather than the TC doing so. They will elect a chairperson and a clerk and will come up with guidelines to admit new members.

Roads: Whoever recently mowed Lower Boulder Road was thanked.

Mayor: Bill Barron will be gathering information on September 6 at 6pm at the Town Pavillion about how the changing climate has impacted local communities. He is traveling all over the state.

No one should be bringing town business to TC members or the Mayor at their workplaces. Residents should call or

email to set up a time to meet.

A public comment was asked about whether an Ethics Review Committee will still be formed, as discussed previously. It was responded that there is a coming conflict of interest training with Utah Trust, who provides the town’s insurance, that the town should be able to take part in. The commenter stated that they were asking about an Ethics Review Committee, and that residents need to have a setup for conflict resolution short of litigation. The mayor responded that she will go back through minutes to see what has been discussed and will follow up on this.

Another comment stated that the only official copy of ordinances is the codified version. All other references are meaningless and everyone needs to use the updated codified version. Sections of the codified version can be downloaded and paper documents can be provided, but it will be very easy for them to become out of date.

The Boulder Town Council meets on the first Thursday of each month at 7pm.

The “Best” Tool

t H e

by Jeffery J. McKenna

I have a neighbor named Dave that loves tools. He is a welder by trade and can fix anything.

He built a huge garage, a true man cave, next to his house. The addition even has the head of a buffalo that Dave killed in the Henry Mountains of Southeastern Utah.

Underneath the mounted buffalo head are tools—hundreds of tools. I’m sure Dave has a “best” tool.

My tools are not like Dave’s tools. In my toolbox at home, I have a hammer, two screwdrivers, a pair of pliers, and, of course, duct tape.

However, for 20 years as an estate planning attorney, I have used “tools” to help save taxes and facilitate the administration of my clients’ estates.

I have a “best” tool that I really like to use. In order to avoid thousands, even up to hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes for clients, I reach for the Donor Advised Fund on my charitable giving “tool shelf.”

Donor Advised Funds are sub-funds of a larger charitable entity. They are an individual’s or family’s own

private charity.

Monies or investments go into the fund with a tax deduction and grow tax free. The monies come out tax free, but must be directed to churches, schools or other charitable 501(c)(3) organizations.

A Donor Advised Fund is a wonderful estate planning tool for three reasons.

First, it is refreshingly simple. Many estate planning tools are difficult and complex.

A donor advised fund can usually be set up using a standard form of two or three pages.

Second, Donor Advised Funds can be someone’s own private “charitable checkbook.” Monies left in a fund for family members can be used through decades of charitable giving for your children and grandchildren.

Third, if IRA or 401k monies are left to a Donor Advised Fund upon your death, significant amounts of taxes are avoided. Every dollar that would have been taxed can flow into the Donor Advised Fund tax free and can continue to grow tax free—Uncle Sam doesn’t get a dime.

Just as my neighbor Dave has his “best” tool for the job,

I love using Donor Advised Funds. They can eliminate tens of thousands of dollars in taxes and are a great tool for charitable giving.

Computer novices may feel like they're alone these days, but the following call to Microsoft's help center shows there are plenty of people out there who still are inching onto the information superhighway.

After a caller gave a technician her PC's serial number, he scanned a database of registered users and responded, "I see you have an Aptiva desktop unit."

Before he could say another word, the caller shrieked and said she'd be right back.

When the customer returned, the technician asked if she was all right. The caller responded, "Had I realized you could see me, I never would have telephoned in my bathrobe."

"Well, in art class, I made a sign for my bedroom door," Colleen replied.

Turning to her three-yearold sister Cadie, who was sitting in her car seat, Colleen said, "It says 'No little kids allowed.'"

Cadie responded, "I can't read, so I can still come in your room."

FYI PanguItch

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com The Garfield County Fair is over with, and we didn’t get one chance to go to it. We had our granddaughter's wedding reception on Saturday and spent the whole week getting things ready. On Thursday while delivering Meal on Wheels, we passed the fair building, and there were a lot of cars there for the senior luncheon, which was great. I hope everything went smoothly because a whole lot of work went into it.

No matter what your plans are for an event, something will go wrong. We had ordered these great cakes from Costco in St. George, and they were supposed to be picked up Friday by Teah, who was flying into Vegas. Well, her flight got cancelled, and they had to go to SLC, so I had to go to St. George to get them. I did go through Zion on the way; it is such a great drive, and I also got to pick up my supply of licorice in Springdale. Things have a way of working out. We had a lot of help getting tables and chairs and setting things up. As usual, Pat did most of the work getting things ready.

The weather people said that, on Friday, we had an 80% chance of rain, but the weather couldn’t have been better. Lots of folks were there, including some of Teah’s classmates.

Our next big event will be the ATV Rally at the end of the month. This event just keeps growing bigger each year. We have so many choice trails to go on around here. Last year, they had over 300 that registered and offered 16 different rides. Joe Orman has been running this event for ten or twelve years and does a whale of a job doing it. It is so good that most of the riders keep coming back for more fun.

The following weekend is Labor Day, and the annual car show will be on Saturday.

I believe it is September 3rd,

and it is a week early. We never do anything on Labor Day, so maybe it will be good to try something new. Last year, we had 75 cars entered, and most of them were keepers.

We are going to be gone, but my daughter, Kelly, will bring my two trucks to the rally (Pat says, "If they run."). The Lions Club will be serving meals cooked to order, so you can have breakfast or lunch.

After that, summer will be over, believe it or not; hopefully, we will have some of the monsoons hitting us. It is hard to believe it but Death Valley had flooding, and it stranded over 1000 people there. It was only about 1.5 inches, but that is 75% of their annual rain.

SLC had some flooding, with only 5/8 of an inch, but that was the most rain they have had in four months. It’s going to be our turn soon, I would hope.

Sports season has started, and the Bobcats hosted a tournament and took 2nd place, losing only to Piute by one run. The girls volleyball team plays Millard here tonight; the team has got a lot of young, really good players and should be fun to watch.

A lot of the news is on the national front. On Monday, President Biden ordered the taking out of the leader of AlQaeda, and they did it with a smart drone. I can’t spell his name but he took bin Laden's place and was part of the planning of the 911 attack on the World Trade Center.

The next day, the GOP senators changed their minds about the bill that would treat veterans that were exposed to the burning of trash in Iraq and Afghanistan. The vote on the bill went from 55 against and 44 for, to 89 for and 11 against. Of course, our senators, who have never been in harm's way, voted against it.

It took 25 years to get a bill

passed for the Down Winders.

Now they have a bill that says that if you were stationed at Camp Lejeune from 1950 to 1980, the water was poisoned and you are entitled to compensation, that is, if you are still alive. This new bill for the veterans only took 12 years to pass.

On Sunday, President Biden’s bill for the reduction of climate change passed the Senate with a 50 to 50 vote, with all of the GOP voting against it. To get all of the Democrats to vote for it, the oil companies will now be able to drill on Federal lands.

Three-hundred and fifty billion will go to reusable energy, and it will give Medicare the power to negotiate the price of medicine. Those that have Medicare and have diabetes, your cost will be limited to $30 a month. What the GOP doesn’t like is that there will be a minimum tax on corporations of 15%—not what they file to the IRS but what they give to their investors. Forty of the top corporations pay nothing in the way of taxes, while making billions in profit, including Amazon.

The job market report really beat all expectations by almost double, to 528,000 new jobs, and unemployment has been brought down to a record low of 3.5%. This quieted all the naysayers that keep saying that we are headed for a recession. This new climate bill will create many more new jobs. This is 10 million new jobs created since the president took office. It will also raise enough money to pay down the national debt by 300 billion.

Inflation didn’t just start with the high cost of gas, but I think it started with the last president putting tariffs on all goods coming into the country. I didn’t like this because things were costing more,

however, it really turned out to be a good thing. It made us more competitive with the other country’s cheap labor and created more jobs. Gas has come down for the 54th day and is lower in most of the country, with $4.11 being the average. I don’t think it will come down much in Utah, with Senator Lee blaming the president for the high cost of gas. Maybe he should tell us about all of the good things he has done in his eight years in office, besides voting "No" on all bills except for tax cuts for the 1% and corporations.

People up north in SLC are complaining about their high electrical bills; it could be that we don’t need air conditioning here in paradise, with our beautiful weather, which stays in the 80s. SLC had 18 straight days of over 100 degree temps.

August was named to honor the first Roman Emperor, Augustus Caesar (63 BC-AD14). He was the grandnephew of Julius Caesar.

How can it be that The Insider has been in print for 10 years; Erica are you sure?

How time flies! The last three writers of this column died, so I guess I will be with the paper for a few more years. I learned a long time ago not to do anything that I don’t want to. Those that hate our country and want to do away with it start with the news in rural parts of the country. The Deseret News and the Salt Lake Tribune only are in the big cities up north. So your Insider keeps some of the news still available, and some may not like my column, but it is the truth as I read it!

O bituaries David Harris

Norman McKee - Born August 15, 1942

Norman has lived in Panguitch for over 50 years and loves it here! He has 5 children (3 girls, 2 boys), 8 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild on the way and wished that he had more.

He is a retired conservation officer/wildlife biologist having worked his career in Garfield and Kane counties.

The family recently celebrated his birthday with a reunion at a beautiful cabin in Brian Head.

PANGUITCH - David (N7NKK) Frank Harris, age 83, of Panguitch, Utah, was reunited with his dear wife Karran, of 57 years, on August 1, 2022. Dave was born on June 3, 1939, to Boyd David Harris and Edith Louise Spencer in Mammoth, Utah.

He was sealed to Karran Domgaard on May 24, 1963 in the Manti, Utah, Temple. She preceded him in death on April 17, 2020.

Family, friends, and helping in the community were his core values. He believed in good behavior and when leaving the house you were reminded to “remember who you are and what you represent.”

He was an avid outdoors man, enjoying everything from fishing, shooting, and hunting to just taking a drive in the back country. He especially enjoyed it when his family joined him on these adventures.

Being an amateur radio operator was a core part of his life. He spent many hours building, maintaining, and using his radios. He enjoyed connecting with people from all over the globe and many of his closest friends came to him through radio.

He enjoyed being involved in the community helping on projects and serving in Jeep Posse, scouting and youth sports. It was common to find Dave behind the scorer’s table at many different sporting events. He will always be remembered by many when they see the horseshoe pits in Panguitch, Utah, as he was vital in the planning and construction of them.

In his later years, he loved to tell stories to all that would listen of his life’s adventures.

Many of these were of his years working in the Forest Service. He had many roles including working range, running communications at fires, and being a civil engineer. He loved his time at the Forest Service and enjoyed working in a role where he wasn’t tied to a desk.

He is survived by his four children and their spouses: Dan (Sharon) Harris, Wendy (Ted) Randall, Russell (Daja) Harris, and Brian (Heather) Harris. He is well loved and will be missed by his grandchildren: Aaron and Allie Harris, Shanae (Steven) Nay, Tysha (Steven) Moore, Chaylee and Brynli Randall, Evin, Braxton, Quinlan, and Dustin Harris, and Alex and Tyler Harris; as well as his great-grandchildren: Jacob, Rosie, Nathan, and Dylan Nay and Luke, Melody, Jeremy, + one Moore. He is also survived by his sister Joan (Ben) LeSieur; his brothers: Bob (Mary) Harris, and Ron (Pam) Harris.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife Karran; his parents, Boyd and Edith; and his two sisters: Betty (Andy) Anderson and Patsy Harris. He is loved and will be missed by the Harris and Domgaard families.

Graveside services were held on Monday, August 8, 2022 at 1:00 pm at the Provo Cemetery with a short viewing at noon. Funeral Directors: Magleby Mortuary, Richfield, Salina and Manti.

August 15 - August 21

by John Mosley The Sky Report is presented as a public service by the Stellar Vista Observatory, a nonprofit organization based in Kanab, Utah, which provides opportunities for people to observe, appreciate, and comprehend our starry night sky. Additional information is at www.stellarvistaobservatory.org. Send questions and comments to John@StargazingAdventures.org.

We seldom see a planet in the daytime, for good reason.

Venus is surprisingly easy to see if you know exactly where to look, and that’s the trick— where in the sky is it, exactly?

You can see Jupiter and sometimes Mars too, with greater effort, but again, the trick is to know where to look.

All night on the morning of Monday the 15th, Jupiter is near the moon, and as these are the two brightest objects in the morning sky (until Venus rises), they’re a pretty sight from midnight, when they’re low in the southeast, until morning twilight when they’re halfway up the southern sky, and through sunrise when they move to the west.

During the night, bright Jupiter is 2½°, or 5 moon-diameters, above the gibbous moon, and the two make a striking pair all night.

The cool part of this conjunction happens on the morning of Monday the 15th when the moon is still near Jupiter, and you can use the moon to find Jupiter well past sunrise.

At about 8 a.m., for example, they are still 1/3 of the way up

the southwestern sky, and Jupiter is 2° straight to the right of the moon. If the air is free from dust and haze, you should have no trouble seeing Jupiter in binoculars or any telescope.

You’ve probably never seen Jupiter during the daytime, so have a look early that Monday morning before the moon and Jupiter get too low and set.

By the way, both are in the constellation Cetus, the Whale. It’s not one of the traditional 12 constellations of the zodiac, but it is according to the way modern astronomers divide the sky. Jupiter moved into Cetus from Pisces on June 26th, and it remains in Cetus until its retrograde motion takes it westward back into Pisces on September 1st.

It’ll then be back in Cetus beginning February 5th next year.

The other planets visible are Saturn, which rises by 9 p.m. and is almost halfway up in the south around 1 a.m. Saturn is 1/17 as bright as Jupiter but still as bright as the brightest stars. Saturn is about 45° west of Jupiter, which is quite a distance considering that

they were in conjunction only a year and a half ago.

Mars is the same brightness as Saturn, and it’s as far to the left (east) of Jupiter as Saturn is to the right (west), so together the three planets span about 90° of the sky. Mars rises shortly after midnight in Taurus. The moon is a scant 3° above Mars on the morning of Friday the 19th in another nice conjunction when the two will fit in the field of view of binoculars and wide-angle spotting scopes. You might look for Mars 3° directly below the moon after sunrise, but Mars is now faint, so good luck.

Brilliant Venus rises 90 minutes before the sun and is very low in the east at sunrise.

News from Wayne County Summer Ain't Over Yet

by Adus Dorsey

Adus Dorsey

"Summer ain't over yet," says Krae, Tucker, Bree, Sophee and Kash.

WAYNE COUNTY - If you were driving on Bicknell 's Main Street around 3pm on August 3rd, you would have had to check your calendar to see if summer was already over and if school was back in session, as the high school parking lot was full and parking was bumper-to-bumper.

There were so many people at the Wayne vs. Panguitch baseball game on that day that if you had grocery shopping to do, it was a good time to do it because you could actually fill your shopping list and walk down the aisles at Royal's Food Town and hardly see anybody you knew. Sadly enough, Wayne didn’t win the game, but the boys in purple played some serious ball. So if on August 9th, again at 3 pm, you are in need of some excitement and want to see some people you haven’t seen in awhile, Wayne plays Green River on their home turf at the high school in Bicknell. If all goes well, maybe the Green River team will pack along a trailer full of melons and cantaloupe to share with the crowd. If not, you can always find some in the big cardboard boxes near all the other vegetables at Joe’s in Loa. In reference to Bicknell, the streets in town have been so torn up that there is no use trying to punch in a Bicknell address on Google maps as you can’t get there from here.

If you have something to deliver to anyone, it is probably best to call first and have them meet you at Howard’s or M&D Auto, but not the liquor store, as it isn’t there anymore? And, to the dismay of a generation or more, the whoop-tee-do road ride you used to take your kids on every evening on the west side of town will soon be

no more. For road repairs, the construction company doing the work removed so much material from that section of road that it is rumored that some of the fellas found remnants of ancient mastodon tusks, an intact McDonald's hamburger from the 60s, and fifty cent tokens from the old People’s Merc in Thurber.

As far as road construction is concerned, highway construction east of Torrey continues, and continues.

Some reports have it that the mayhem will last until Halloween candy starts to show up on store shelves. But looking on the bright side, and most notable and talked about in wide circles, is the highway flaggers on the job. One can only guess how all those folks standing on Highway 24 holding up traffic day in and day out can be so jubilant and absolutely happy doing their job from sun up until sun down. As sure as the sun tries to rise every morning, it should be recommended, by everyone that encounters them, that they should receive some sort of award or at least a decent bonus. They are the happiest bunch of flaggers you have ever seen.

Deer in Wayne County have always been the cause for much conversation at the usual gathering spots, service stations and farm supply centers, and depending on the time of year, the four-legged creatures can be a source of amusement, aggravation, food and calls to dispatch and insurance agents.

Right now in these late summer months in orchards, yards and gardens, it isn’t uncommon to see does twitching their tails with a couple of young fawns, frolicking among your zucchini and squash that you have been trying to keep

alive since the last frost. Oftentimes when dogs and deer are seen in the same vicinity, the does get rather bold and stand offs occur; if they are city dogs, the does know just what action to take.

For the deer hunters, cowboys and outdoor types among us, deer mating facts are well known. But for the newcomer, gardner and those just arriving in the wilds from the suburbs, the fascination about the cycles of the deer may be somewhat of a mystery and cause to remain curious why so many young deer are seen on the side of the road at this time of year (Of which, I am one.). In speaking with some experts at Harry’s, it is said that in many species of deer, the period of gestation (the time during which a doe is pregnant) lasts between approximately 200 and 205 days. In some species, the day count can go as high as 230 or even 286. Unlike humans, deer and other animals are seasonal breeders.

Both female and male deer experience significant changes in their levels of hormone (as well as their reproductive organs) before the breeding season begins. The rut, or mating season, for deer takes place in the fall of each year. The estrus period for female deer is rather short.

It begins in the fall and can take place between October to December for most types of deer.

To my surprise, the doe is only able to conceive for a few days each year.

The gestation period for whitetail deer is approximately 200 days. This is because this species tends to be native to cold regions. The whitetail doe can give birth to between one and three fawns each spring.

Spring is the ideal period for deer to be born, as that time of year has mild and hospitable conditions with plenty of forage.

For anyone traveling Highway 24 in Wayne County, deer crossings are well known and attention should be heightened in these areas. This is particularly true if you are driving an outfit with mostly plastic parts, as hitting something as small as a Jack Rabbit has been known to rip bumpers right off, resulting in damage in the thousand$.

As a reminder, plan to attend and enjoy all the activities at the Wayne County Fair in Loa from August 15th - 20th.

Color Ridge: We’re excited to showcase cool

and interesting flavors that people haven’t thought about in ice cream.

—Joseph Shumway, co-owner of Color Ridge Farm & Creamery

Amiee Maxwell

Color Ridge Farm & Creamery had its grand opening in Torrey on July 1st. Ice cream is offered by the cone, flight, and 8 ounce and 16 ounce cartons, and co-owners Joseph Shumway and A.C. Ivory use land-inspired flavors and local plants and herbs in their unique ice creams.

making ice cream as a way to save the dairy. It worked, and the dairy prospered. Shumway Farms was even featured in Food and Wine Magazine as the best place to get ice cream in Wyoming in 2021.

Sandwiched between The Wild Rabbit Cafe and Shooke Coffee Roasters on Main Street in Torrey, Color Ridge Farm & Creamery celebrated their grand opening July 1st.

Ice cream is available by the cone, flight, and 8 ounce and 16 ounce cartons. For those unfamiliar with ice cream flights, several small scoops are served on a tray similar

to the way beer samples are offered at a brewery. “It’s a way you can try multiple flavors and really get the chance to taste each one,” explains Ivory.

Shumway and Ivory see the ice cream shop as an extension of their regenerative micro farm in Bicknell, where they grow herbs and other plants that are used as flavorings in their ice cream. They plan to use as many local ingredients as possible giving top priority to what they can grow in this area and what can be foraged, such as the juniper berry. “We’re excited to showcase cool and interesting flavors that people haven’t thought about in ice cream,”

says Shumway.

In addition to their unique, land-inspired flavors, Color Ridge Farm & Creamery also has a selection of more traditional flavors including dark chocolate, cookies and cream, and birthday cake. They will also have eggs and produce from their farm available for purchase in the shop, and they’ll continue to sell both their ice cream and farm goods at the Wayne County Farmers' Market in Torrey.

Color Ridge Farm & Creamery release new flavors each Friday, and flavors are announced on their Instagram and Facebook pages each week. They have lots of fall flavor ideas in the works, and they’re also currently experimenting with Oregon grapes, which grow prolifically in the area, in the hopes that they can come up with something truly unique.

Shumway says that part of what drew him and Ivory to Wayne County was the good energy he felt here and the potential he saw for becoming part of a great community. He hopes their ice cream shop will add something positive to the community “since ice cream makes people happy and brings people together,” he says.

Color Ridge Farm & Creamery is currently open from 1 pm to 8:30 pm on Fridays and Saturdays and from 4 pm to 8:30 pm Sundays, Mondays, and Thursdays. They plan to stay open at least one evening a week throughout the winter months to give locals another option when many local businesses are closed.

Wayne Commission:

Defender data funding, contracts, a proposed Halloween festival, a presentation by Wayne Youth Sports, Wayne School Board and the proposed tax increase and new buildings, weekend pay for EMTs, and the resignation of County Emergency Manager Jeanie Webster (Webster accepted another position with Utah Division of Emergency Management) discussed.

Wayne Commission Cont'd from page 1

the last contract was to retain Michael Winn as the Juvenile Court attorney, which was renewed and signed.

Tracey Kostinuk presented a proposal to hold a Halloween festival, which she would like to hold at the Wayne County Fair Grounds on October 31. A special event application through the county needs to filled.

Kostinuk would like to give back to the people of Wayne County. The event will be an old-fashioned event, featuring a cake walk, a haunted house, vendors and a special performance of the Wolfshager Hexenbrut. For more information, contact Tracy Kostinuk at Gypsy@gypsyentertainment.com.

Wayne Youth Sports was presented by Kari Denison and Tacey Wood. Wayne Youth Sports is a non-profit and is helping on the new baseball field, which is being constructed at the fair grounds. They would like to support the efforts and works towards having the same goals as the commissioners. Commissioner Brian would like to see an open communication between all parties concerned. All volunteers working on the project need to be approved by the commissioners. “We need to get to a point in this project where we know that this ball field is going to be ready,” Michael Olsen stated. Denison is going to gather pricing for a backstop, lighting, a score board and bleachers.

The County will work on obtaining a General Contractor for the project.

Wayne School Board was present to discuss the proposed tax increase and the new buildings. Superinten-

dent Randy Shelly is “striving to be completely transparent.”

There will be a public meeting held at Wayne High School on August 10th at 6pm at the Wayne High School, and everyone is encouraged to attend.

The grant, which the State of Utah would provide, requires that taxes be increased 28.8% for the school funds. Schools in Wayne County were built in the 1950s and do not meet State or Federal standards. All buildings are under-reinforced and need to be brought up to code.

Other Items of business: • Disclosure notices and tax increases presented by Ryan Torgerson, who presented a line by line outline of the tax notices that went out earlier in July.

• Weekend pay for EMTs was presented by Kassidee Brown. A new program has been implemented, where if an EMT is on call for a Saturday or Sunday, they will receive $100.00 as a bonus.

This was accepted and approved.

• Commissioner Wood asked Kassidee Brown if she would fill the position of County Emergency Manager Position until a new qualified candidate is found. This was accepted and approved.

• Vouchers were accepted and approved.

• Resignation of Jeanie Webster as the County Emergency Manager: Commissioner Brian thanked Webster for her four years of service to the County. Webster has accepted a new position with the Utah Division of Emergency Management as a trainer.

The Wayne County Commission meets the first and third Monday of every month at the Wayne County Courthouse in Loa.

CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION FROM ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW BICKNELL TOWN As required by the guidelines for the preparation of environmental impact statements (EIS), a preliminary evaluation has been performed on the proposed State of Utah, Drinking Water Board project identified below to determine if an environmental assessment or EIS is warranted. The State of Utah has elected to “Categorically Exclude from further environmental review” the proposed drinking water project.

Project: Bicknell Town 300,000 Gallon Water Storage Tank Water System No: UTAH 28001 Office Location: PO Box 96, Bicknell, UT 84715 Project Number: 3F1786 Total Estimated Cost: $2,278,000 Funding: Drinking Water Loan (30 years, 1%) - $1,308,000 Drinking Water Grant (Principal Forgiveness) - $870,000 Local Contribution - $100,000 The proposed project is located immediately north of Bicknell, Utah on public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Bicknell Town is proposing to construct a new 300,000-gallon concrete water storage tank on the northwest side of the town’s existing water storage tank. The new tank will be 62-feet in diameter and 16-feet deep and after construction it will be buried and connected to the existing culinary distribution system serving Bicknell. Existing facility fencing will be increased to accommodate the new tank and a small parking area. The project is not anticipated to affect any wetlands, endangered or threatened species, or any cultural or historical properties, and will be constructed within the existing BLM right-of-way grant footprint. The project is needed in order for Bicknell to meet current and future demand for drinking water.

The review process indicated that there are no extraordinary circumstances related to the proposed project that may result in a significant individual or cumulative environmental effect. Consequently, a decision has been made to not prepare an EIS. The State of Utah has elected to “Categorically Exclude from further environmental review” the proposed drinking water project based upon review of the following document: Categorial Exclusion DOI-BLM-UT-C020-2022-0012CX, prepared by the Richfield Field Office, Bureau of Land Management, May 13, 2022.

All contractors and sub-contractors will be required to comply with all relative federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and executive orders, such as Utah State air quality regulations R307-309.

If any cultural resources are uncovered or otherwise discovered during construction of the water system improvements, Bicknell Town will be required to stop construction and notify the Division of Drinking Water (the Division), BLM, and the State Historic Preservation Officer for consultation. If it appears that construction work may be causing an adverse environmental impact, Bicknell Town will be required to stop construction and notify the Division. The Division will investigate any such discoveries.

A Categorical Exclusion (Cat Ex) from environmental review does not require a public hearing or a formal public comment period prior to the Cat Ex becoming effective. Therefore, this Cat Ex will become effective on the day it is published in a local newspaper, which is expected to occur on or about August 11, 2022. Questions or comments may be directed to Skye Sieber at 385-515-0038 or sasieber@utah.gov.
