Canyon 2 Canyon Bike Ride Returns August 22 BRYCE - Families and avid bikers alike are tuning up their bicycles as the annual Canyon 2 Canyon Bike Ride draws near. The fourth annual bike ride, sponsored by Ruby’s Inn near the entrance of Bryce Canyon National Park, is needed now more than ever, as people are looking for a sense of normalcy, freedom and an excuse to get outdoors. The Canyon 2 Canyon Bike Ride came to fruition as a 17-mile, ADA-approved, paved bike trail was built, connecting two iconic landmarks in Utah. Starting at Inspiration Point in Bryce Canyon National Park, this scenic trail winds its way through beautiful, rich red rock with fragrant Ponderosa pines outlining the pathway as users make their way to Red Canyon. “The Canyon 2 Canyon Bike Ride is a family-favorite,” said Lance Syrett, hotel general manager of Ruby’s Inn. “My daughter has been doing it since she was seven and loves it. It’s a great family-friendly ride that people of all ages can enjoy.” The annual bike ride is on August 22, 2020, and guests can register online at rubysinn.com/canyon2-canyon-bike-ride/.

Upcoming Fruit Harvest at Capitol Reef Reduced Due to Spring Freeze CAPITOL REEF N.P. While August usually represents the beginning of the peach, apple, and pear harvest in Capitol Reef National Park, there is a very limited crop of fruit available for picking this year. The reduced harvest is primarily due to a cold snap in the middle of April that caused fruit blossoms in the park to freeze. Nighttime temperatures in Fruita dropped below 32 degrees Fahrenheit for several days on two separate occasions in April. These cold snaps coincided with the orchard bloom, and as a result, many blossoms were terminated before developing into fruit. Wildlife activity and a break in the irrigation line have also contributed to stress on the trees and the limited harvest. The Fruita orchards are maintained by the National Park Service using historic fruit production methods in keeping with the preservation of the historic district, and Fruit Harvest Cont'd on page 7

Letters to the Editor
To Governor Gary Herbert and Dr. Angela Dunn, State Epidemiologist, I am aware of your stand on mandated masks for Utahns. Generally, I agree that most people will do the right thing and mandates don’t guarantee compliance. However, during a pandemic that is spreading quite quickly, there ought to be exceptions to voluntary use of masks. One exception should be made for workers who work in only one-of-akind town stores providing essential (like food) services within 50 mile radius. Panguitch, in Garfield County, offers a good example. (Garfield County is zoned “green” for COVID-19). The town has a population of 1700 people. Joe’s Main Street Market, the town’s only grocery store— complete with fresh produce and butcher shop—is the place where most local and nearby residents buy their food. This store, located at “the” stop light on US 89, also serves hundreds of tourists traveling to the parks and other recreational areas. Typically, tourists come from “non green” zoned places. Joe’s Market, being the only game in town, is the
perfect place for spread of contagion, especially, when neither customers nor employees, observe CDC mask guidelines very well. I was tersely told by an employee, that they "CHOSE NOT TO" wear masks. My immediate comeback was, "Well, then, I choose not to come to this store again." I am well aware, though, that not everyone is willing or able to do that, and that is my point. We should not feel like there is no recourse when trying to feed our families. We should not have to "put up" with negative attitudes when all we want is to shop safely. Joe’s Main Street Market has a sign up in front that reads, "HEROES WORK HERE." I am not so sure that "heroes" is the right word. I would like to suggest to you, Governor Herbert, and State Epidemiologist Dunn, that this matter, which must be replaying in several rural areas, be examined for the sake of its communities’ health. When towns have only one store providing essential services within 50 miles, employees must wear masks — until the virus is under control. Sincerely yours, Maria L. Peterson, Hatch
An Informed and Engaged Citizenship is at the Core of a Healthy Democracy
After reading The Insider as an outsider for many years now, I’d like to congratulate the publishers for covering the local county and planning commission meetings. An informed and engaged citizenship is at the core of a healthy democracy. The Insider provides a vital public service by making these public proceedings accessible to the community. After years of reading about what can only be called the arrogance displayed by members of the Garfield County Commission, I can no longer remain silent on the topics of public comment and public lands. For the commission to disallow public comment at meetings unless a member of the public has made the effort to place their item on the agenda undermines participatory democracy. It places unnecessary obstacles before citizens who wish to publicly address the commission. What is the Garfield County Commission afraid of? My guess is that A. they don’t value citizen input and B. they think that listening to the public is a waste of time. Hmmm, I wonder who pays their salaries? But what chaps my hide even more is the state of Utah’s arrogant attitude that public lands in their state should belong to the state and not the country. I am a taxpaying U.S. citizen. My taxes subsidize grazing in Garfield County. My taxes pay for the resources to conserve the unique landscapes in Utah that belong to everyone in the United States. What claim do residents of Utah have to these lands except that they live in the same state? Here in California we’re certainly not trying to steal public lands. If anyone has a legitimate claim to these lands, it is the Native peoples who
have lived there since Jesus’ time. For state and local governments to attempt to privatize these lands is a dereliction of their duty to help protect these lands for the benefit of all. Commissioner Pollock’s behavior stands out as arrogant, condescending and disrespectful. “I don’t want to hear Vicki Tyler [acting monument manager] nagging about overreaching,” he said. Is that the statement of a professional? He complains about the Bryce Canyon Park Supervisor, he complained to Gov. Herbert. When is Commissioner Pollock not complaining? Commissioner Pollock places a lot of faith in the state’s Constitutional Defense Council and is quoted as saying that this questionable state body “helps with public lands issues such as trying to close roads, take away multiple use and make a single use wilderness, whatever.” This is an important issue that warrants more than a “whatever” from an elected commissioner. The movement to transfer federal lands to states is widely regarded as a losing issue because there is no legal basis for it. Look it up! But that doesn’t stop Garfield County Commissioners or the state of Utah from trying to steal public lands from “we the people” and wasting taxpayers’ time and money on their lost cause. You should know, Garfield County Commissioners, people are watching and paying attention to what goes on in your little communities. Thank you, Insider, for your role in protecting participatory democracy and bringing light to proceedings that perhaps elected officials would prefer remain in the dark. Kind regards, Jane Sooby, Santa Cruz, CA
Sad, So Sad: Tail Wags Dog in Boulder, Utah
Some years ago, a beautiful part of Boulder history was set apart and preserved in a conservation trust. Formerly known as The Red Wing Ranch, it was renamed The Boulder Creek Canyon Ranch, Limited Liability Corporation. You know, that ranch in Boulder with the big red barn, that artists and photographers come to paint and photograph every year. A Boulder icon! The pastoral scene...green fields and slickrock...cows and horses peacefully grazing...and art imitating real life. A working ranch with hay fields, cows, horses, and cowboys to work everything. Fast-forward to today. The historic, working ranch loses its way. The cows are sold-off and gone, the horses sold-off and gone, the cowboys let-go...bye!...bye! And what is left? All the pointless farming that money can buy. A fancy, expensive, and sterile
home with a multi-thousand dollar astro-turf croquetcourt...and a proposed million dollar art center with 50 parking spaces next to the big red barn where the corrals used to be. All this in a town of 250 residents, not all full time, and might include the snake and lizards. Some local urban implants have called this art center a gift. So was the Trojan Horse! The Trojan Horse being as close to ranching as these people will ever get and do they not understand the difference between urban and rural? Goodbye, Redwing Ranch. Goodbye, Boulder. Rest in pieces! I have finally seen "a tail wagging the dog," and a historic part of the Boulder story losing its way and chasing its tale! Mark Nelson The Nelson Family Boulder, Utah

The Effects of Light Pollution on Wildlife by mary BedIngFIeLd-smIth, torrey dark skIes
Courtesy mary BedIngFIeLd-smIth
Artificial lighting can effect birds and other wildlife that use moon and starlight as navigational tools in the dark. The International Dark Sky Association suggests turning lights off when not in use and using night sky friendly light fixtures that point down, instead of up, in order to prevent adversely effecting animals at night. TORREY - It happened three nights in a row last summer. A house finch fluttered at our windows in the deepest, dark of night. The little creature appeared to see something in the glass. But what? There were no insects and no other birds in sight. We turned off our indoor lights, leaving them off for an hour or so, and hoped that would stop the confused bird-at-thewindow shenanigans. It did. We thought it was an aberration. But then, last week, it happened again. We have no idea if it was the same bird, but it certainly was the same behavior. Turning off the indoor lights had the same affect as last summer, but it left us wondering, “What’s the deal with birds and artificial light?” A Google search revealed several articles, which explained that artificial light at night messes with bird behavior and bird brains. That little house finch at our window was a songbird, and most songbirds have evolved to use moonlight and starlight to navigate their way through the world. They migrate at night when predators retire and winds die down. Artificial lights can cause them to wander off course toward danger. Light on a building, including light emanating from windows, disorients birds during migration.
That light can attract birds in the same way porch lights attract moths, which can result in fatal collisions. Every year, millions of birds die colliding with needlessly illuminated buildings and towers. But it’s not just collisions that harm birds at night. Sometimes birds just flutter around illuminated windows until they become exhausted and fall to the ground where they become easy prey. The International Dark Sky Association offers solutions we can all employ to help feathered (and furred) creatures of our world. • Use only fully shielded, night sky friendly fixtures for all outdoor lighting so that lights shine down, not up. • Use only the right amount of light needed. Too much light wastes money and energy and harms wildlife. • Install timers and dimmer
switches, and turn off lights when not in use. If security lighting is required, use motion sensors. • Turn off lights when they are not in use. • Use only lighting with a color temperature of 3000K and below. This means there is less blue (cool) light that is more harmful to many species. The mornings following our finch at the window, we found no evidence of the bird’s demise—no little body and no pile of feathers. Nothing. Maybe we got lucky— the birds and us. Perhaps the bird survived and we weren’t responsible for any avian deaths. Our shielded outdoor lights are an effort to keep it that way. Mary Bedingfield-Smith is a member of the Torrey Dark Skies.

NY to Utah: We are excited to welcome our New York colleagues
from Northwell Health. This is a great example of two premier health systems and amazing and dedicated caregivers helping each other in times of need to support and care for our patients and communities. —Heather Brace, Intermountain’s senior vice president and chief people officer. NY to Utah

and amazing and dedicated caregivers helping each other in times of need to support and care for our patients and communities.” “During the height of the pandemic here in New York, we were grateful for the extraordinary support provided by the Intermountain Healthcare system,” said Michael Dowling, president and CEO of Northwell Health. “We are now delighted to be able to
reciprocate by sending staff to assist them in their current battle against this disease.” Northwell Health has treated more than 70,000 COVID-19 patients during the height of the pandemic in New York, more than any other health system in the nation. During a news conference, the visiting Northwell nurses shared their thoughts about why they wanted to come to Utah to assist Intermountain caregivers. "When Intermountain came (to NY) we were at one
to four. One nurse for every four patients. When the Intermountain group came, they gave us a relief. A big part of nursing is helping one another,” said Northwell Health nurse Shereyah Barbera, RN. “I was very grateful for my own team and the Intermountain team became a part of my team. Now, being in Utah after getting our numbers in control, now I can come back and help this team again.” "Why am I doing this? Why am I coming back? Honestly, it's a simple answer. I feel like I need to give back,” said Adara Abrahamsen, RN, from Northwell Health. “Nurses band together. If any of you are struggling, we are here to help you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for having me." During an announcement of the deployment of New York caregivers to Utah, New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo thanked Intermountain Healthcare and the people of Utah for their support during the height of the outbreak in New York. “On behalf of New Yorkers, we won’t forget, and we will do for them what they did for us, because that’s the American way,” said Gov. Cuomo. “"We're taking new steps in New York State's continuing effort to repay the gratitude that we've been shown by people all across
the country. Utah and Intermountain were very generous to New York when we needed help." Although Intermountain isn’t currently experiencing a significant surge of COVID-19 hospitalizations, clinical leaders are continually monitoring, preparing, learning, and adjusting treatment protocols to provide the best care for patients and the communities. “This is a true representation of teamwork, working together across the country to support each other,” said Paul Krakovitz, MD, Intermountain Healthcare’s chief medical officer for specialty-based care, who helped organize the Intermountain COVID-10 Response Team that traveled to New York. “This sharing of best practices between health systems will greatly benefit patients in Utah and New York.” “The experience and knowledge that our 100 caregivers gained in New York during the peak of the pandemic there was invaluable for our preparation here in Utah,” Dr. Krakovitz added. “We hope the caregivers from Northwell will also benefit from their time with us here in Utah.” —Intermountain Healthcare

Why Plan Your Estate by JeFFery J. mCkenna The knowledge that we will eventually die is one of the things that distinguishes humans from other living beings. At the same time, no one likes to dwell on the prospect of his or her own death. But if you postpone planning for your demise until it is too late, you run the risk that your intended beneficiaries—those you love the most—may not receive what you would want them to receive whether due to extra administration costs, unnecessary taxes or squabbling among your heirs. This is why estate planning is so important. It allows you, while you are still living, to ensure that your property will go to the people you want, in the way you want, and when you want. It permits you to save as much as possible on taxes, court costs and attorneys' fees; and it affords the comfort that your loved ones can mourn your loss without being simultaneously burdened with unnecessary red tape and financial confusion. If you don’t take the necessary steps to create your own estate plan, the state intestate succession statute will apply. Every state has a default plan if
someone dies without their own estate plan. The state’s default plan may not be what you would have wanted. All estate plans should include, at minimum, two important estate planning instruments: a durable power of attorney and a will. The first is for managing your property during your life, in case you are ever unable to do so yourself. The second is for the management and distribution of your property after death. In addition, more and more, Americans also are using revocable (or "living") trusts to avoid probate and to manage their estates both during their lives and after they're gone. Although a revocable trust is just another tool for estate planning, if properly prepared and funded, it can avoid the probate process. It is important to note, a will cannot avoid probate. A will guides the probate process and makes it easier, but a will only becomes effective once a probate proceeding validates it as the decedent’s last will and testament. I hope you found this information helpful for you or someone you know.

My husband David's colleague at a package-processing center was trapped in a small rest room by a faulty lock. When he was finally discovered, David and another worker were able to open the door with some difficulty. The lock was still jammed, so they blocked the door open while a maintenance worker was called. A bit later, David noticed the door was closed again. He jiggled the doorknob and a voice from inside called, "Get me out!" "Don't worry," David replied, "maintenance should be sending somebody." "They did," said the voice.
Newspaper
To make sure the newspaper got out in time, the management made sure that the folks working the overnight shift were fed. After all, at the time, there weren't any all night diners open in the town. To get around this, the company provided trays of sandwich fixings and snacks for the city desk reporters and staff. One morning, as he was just getting ready to start on his last article, a hungry editor turned to a reporter and asked if there was any food left. "Yeah, I think there's a piece of cake left, but it's not for you." "Why not?" asked the editor. "Because you can't have your cake and edit, too!"

O bituaries Jack Chappell
LYMAN - Jack Rulon Chappell of Lyman, Utah passed away peacefully at home, August 5, 2020, just six days after the passing of his sweetheart, Owena. He was 99 years old. Jack was born August 19, 1920 to Lee Ron and Ardeen Chappell and grew up in Lyman. As a young man, he was a great horseman and a crack shot with a gun. He loved his time working as a sheepherder on Parker Mountain and working on the Horse Valley Ranch. He also loved playing baseball and was his team's secret weapon—the best pitcher for miles. He was drafted into the Army on October 6, 1942 and was trained as a Medical Tech and served in that position throughout WWII. He served time in North Africa taking care of Air Force patients in a 1200 tent convalescent center. He then served in Italy at a hospital near the front lines. After the war he arrived home on September 4, 1945. He met Owena Johansen of Loa, Utah while working at the Lark Mine. After a short courtship, they married on April 1, 1948 in the Manti Temple. They recently celebrated their 72nd anniversary. They made their home initially in Lyman then Jack moved his little family to Orem, Utah and after many years, moved his family back to his beloved Lyman in 1967. Jack worked as a carpenter, building homes in Utah County. He also attended school to learn the trade of draftsman. He drew dozens of house plans, from which he helped build many homes in the Provo/Orem area. In his latter years he loved working in his wood shop building all kinds of items. His beautiful wooden bowls were given to friends and family and sold to many people. Jack was a lifelong, faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many positions. He and Owena served a one year temple mission to Atlanta, Georgia. They loved their time there, the many people they met and the lifelong friendships they made. Jack was a father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He loved his grandkids, and they loved him. His penny magic trick delighted them as much as it did him. Jack is survived by his children: Paul J. Chappell, Charmaine (Ross) Childs, Kirk E. (Jean) Chappell, Clark K. (Kathy) Chappell, and Faun (Skip) Jackson, 13 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sisters: Bessie Taylor and Ruth (Calvin) Mills. Jack is preceded in death by his sweet wife, Owena; his parents; and his brothers: Van, Albert, George, Angus, and Thomas Chappell; and a granddaughter, Holly Chappell. We want to thank from the bottom of our hearts, the Gunnison Valley Health Care personnel, Teri, Charlene, Connie, Carl, Julie and Josie for the wonderful care of our father and mother.

FYI PanguItch
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com The warm weather is still continuing on, with daytime temperatures in the 90s. The good news is that the evenings are really cooling down nicely, to about the 40s. This is especially good for those of us that live in two story homes with no air conditioner. Throughout the state, heat records are being broken, which makes you so glad that you live in Panguitch. We have been in drought conditions for the last twenty years. For 18 of those years, we have had monsoon rains. They start in late July and run all of August. However, in the last two years, they have disappeared. Last year was the wettest year we have had in a long time, and it filled up our lake for the first time in ten years. The lake was drained about that time to repair and replace the dam, and it never filled up again. This resulted in short watering periods in the summer. Last year, the monsoons didn’t come. That was allright because the lake was full. Again this year, the lake is again full, and we can do without the monsoons for another year. I just hope that we haven’t seen the last of this much needed moisture. This week’s excitement is the Garfield County Fair, and it will be going on all week long. Check your handout to see when the events are taking place. Saturday is the main day with events going on all day long. Wear your masks, and stay apart for safety sake. With the Panguitch ATV Rally cancelled, there isn’t much else going on. However, there will be a car show on September 12 at the baseball field. Check my sports section. I understand that all of the high school sports are on, so that will give you something to do with your time. Also, I understand that there is some great fishing up at the lake, with a number of big cutthroats being caught. With
myself, I have gotten into jig saw puzzles, and I completed my ninth puzzle yesterday. I have found these puzzles are made by an artist from the Logan area. The first four of them were 500 pieces, but on Father’s Day, my daughters gave me one that had 1,000 pieces in it. I finally finished that one yesterday. It does give me something to do at night. Pat, on the other hand, got hooked on Lamont Olsen’s books dealing with the Space Train. She finished books two through five in about three weeks. Like me, she couldn’t put them down. However, she read them at night after putting in six to eight hours of working in the yard or delivering Meals on Wheels. Lamont has finished the final and sixth book, and it should be out in about a month. I can’t wait. The tragic news on the world front was the explosion in Beirut, Lebanon. During the 90s, right wing terrorist Timothy McVeigh blew up a Federal school in Oklahoma City killing 180 children and adults. He used a truck rental filled with two tons of ammonia nitrate and blew the building apart. In Beirut, a stranded Russian ship six years ago unloaded 2,700 tons of ammonia nitrate in a warehouse. The warehouse, located in their port, caught fire and caused an explosion that looked like an atomic bomb. So far, 160 are dead and 6,000 injured. The explosion damaged 6,200 buildings and did 15 billion dollars worth of damage and 300,000 people have been displaced. Years ago, Beirut was considered the Paris of the Middle East. But with a corrupt government, it has fallen on bad times, with half of the country considered low income. Now, there are riots in the streets calling for the resignation of their leaders for not doing something with the ammonia nitrate when they
were warned. They have been at odds with their neighbors Turkey and Israel, and that caused our president to ask which one of them dropped the bomb. However, Turkey is letting them use their port for unloading supplies, and Israel is helping out with economic aid. In the old days, the U.S. would have been heading up relief for the country and bringing supplies. We are sending three planes with first aid supplies. The coronavirus is still spiking. Because the labs that test the virus are being overwhelmed, the testing has slowed down. The deaths are still climbing at over 1,000 people dying a day from the virus. The U.S. is surpassing 170,000 victims, with over five million cases reported. Garfield County is now up to 49 cases of the virus. They seem to add four or five cases each week, so it is now 1% of our population of the county. The scientists say that we are fighting two battles, one against the virus and the other against stupidity. The NBA and the National Hockey Leagues are both operating under a bubble, and neither league has had any player with the virus. Baseball is another story. They are letting their players do whatever they want, and teams have had to cancel games because their players have tested positive for the virus. They go out to bars and restaurants or other gathering places. This should make the Federal Government see what good could come from a six week shut down. France and Italy both had zero cases of the virus two days in a row. Congress and the Senate couldn’t come to an agreement on the extension of the bailout bill. The Senate wants to spend one trillion for two months. Congress' plan, which was done in late May, involves spending three trillion
until the first of the year. The Senate bill has two billion for the wall and other things that don’t need to be done now. Congress' bill, again, gives people who are out of work $600 and saves renters from being evicted. It also helps out the states that shut down during the pandemic with bailout money. The Senate didn’t have any trouble passing the tax reform for the top 1%ers and the corporations. So, the president took it on his own to come up with a bill that would give the workers $400 a week. However, only $300 would come from the Feds and the other $100 would have to come from the states. The states have to agree to the $100 before the Feds will fork over the $300. This could take a long time, with the states having to meet to vote on whether they had the money to pay the unemployment insurance and the $100. I don’t get it. The money comes out of the Federal deficit. The other thing he has is doing away with the Federal tax that comes out of your salary each payday. Both the Republicans and Democrats are against the bill. With the president being in business, this means that they don’t have to pay into Social Security or Medicare. However, you as a worker have to pay your taxes at the end of the year. He did say that if you vote for him, he will forgive your taxes next year. This will be an end to Social Security and Medicare. Stay tuned. Things change daily. Mask up. The virus is here in Garfield County. Don’t be one of those people that say you have to die of something. Stupidity shouldn’t be one of those th ings. Mack O.
Boulder Town Council August 6 by tessa Barkan
The August Boulder Town Council meeting began with a hearing regarding the standing of appellant Mark Nelson, who filed an appeal of the planning commission’s approval of Jacqui Smalley’s Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application for the Boulder Arts Center. Nelson’s appeal cited eleven points of contestation. This hearing was not intended
to evaluate these points, but rather to evaluate whether he had standing to make the appeal. If it was found by the council that he had standing, a subsequent meeting would take place to consider these points before the case could be appealed to district court. In addition to the town council members, present were Smalley’s lawyer John Andrews, the town attorney Mark McIff, and Nelson representing himself. Andrews began by stating that Nelson does not have standing to make an appeal, citing Utah Code Section 109a-703, that states “The land use applicant, a board or officer of the municipality, or an adversely affected party may, within the applicable time period, appeal that decision to the appeal authority,” where adversely affected party is defined as a person who “owns real property adjoining the property that is the subject of a land use application or land use decision; or will suffer a damage different in kind than, or an injury distinct from, that of the general community as a result of the land use decision.” Andrews stated that Nelson’s appeal was based on disliking the art center and the process of the planning commission (PC), which is not enough to grant him standing. Nelson then stated that he does have standing based on a number of factors including
that the burden of proof under state law only requires that a party alleges an affect. He cited two cases to support this statement. He also stated that if the proceedings and ethics of the PC are damaged, as he cites in his appeal, then damage to himself has occurred. He read parts of his appeal letter, which mentioned his many contributions to the town over the last 35 years, including serving on town government, and acting as a current member of the Board of Adjustments. He disagreed with Andrew’s statement that the appeal is based on disliking the art center, but rather that from the materials he provided, it is clear that the issue is what happened at that meeting, including that members of the PC had conditions that went unheard, and that opportunities to state conflicts were not provided. “The public process was not observed or satisfied,” Nelson stated, continuing that this gives him standing. Andrews then responded by saying that “Smalley profoundly disagrees with these fairly scurrilous claims of lack of ethics,” and that the allegations in the appeal are beyond what exists in the public record of the meeting. He reiterated that in order to have standing, there needs to be proof that personal damage occurred beyond these general community concerns. He next
stated that the cases that Nelson cited about standing are not relevant to this case. Town council members then asked questions. These included whether the council was supposed to be making a decision based on if the PC protocol was in compliance, or whether Nelson has standing to make this appeal. They asked whether they can consider Nelson’s opinion that he has been injured by the PC’s incorrect procedure to be tangible evidence that he has been wronged. McIff responded that while he believes Nelson’s case does not satisfy the requirement for standing, that is the choice that the town council has to vote on. This choice, Mayor Steve Cox added, must be based on whether Nelson has suffered a damage different from that of the general community. Another question asked was had this issue had been brought forth by the community, rather than Nelson, if the process would have been different. They also brought up the point from Nelson’s appeal letter, that certain members should have recused themselves. They asked if, on other occasions, members of the planning commission have been asked to recuse themselves. Cox responded Boulder Council Cont'd on page 10

LegaL Notices NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING AND BONDS TO BE ISSUED PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on August 4, 2020, the Mayor and Town Council of Tropic Town (the "Issuer"), adopted a resolution (the “Resolution”) declaring its intention to issue its Parity Water Revenue Bonds (the “Bonds”), pursuant to the Utah Local Government Bonding Act, Title 11, Chapter 14, Utah Code Annotated 1953, as amended and to call a public hearing to receive input from the public with respect to the issuance of the Bonds. TIME, PLACE AND LOCATION OF PUBLIC HEARING The Issuer shall hold a public hearing on September 10, 2020, at the hour of 6:00 p.m. The location of the public hearing is in the Town Hall, 20 North Main, Tropic, Utah.

All members of the public are invited to attend and participate. PURPOSE FOR ISSUING BONDS The Issuer intends to issue the Bonds for the purpose of (i) financing all or a portion of the cost to construct culinary water system improvements, including development of Spring Creek, replacement and installation of collection lines, together with related improvements to the culinary water system; and (ii) paying costs of issuing the Bonds.

ESTIMATED TOTAL COST OF THE BONDS Although the Issuer has authorized the issuance of Bonds in the total amount of not to exceed $500,000, the Issuer anticipates the Bonds will actually be issued in the principal amount of $393,000. If that were the case, the estimated total cost to the Issuer for the proposed Bonds is $563,625, including an estimated cost of interest of $170,625. PARAMETERS OF THE BONDS The Issuer intends to issue the Bonds in the principal amount of not to exceed $500,000 to bear interest at a rate not to exceed 3.0% per annum, to mature in not to more than 35 years from their date or dates, and to be sold at a price not less than 100% of the total principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the date of delivery. The Bonds will specify that any installment of principal on the Bonds which shall not be paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of 18% per annum from the due date thereof until paid. NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that a period of 30 days from and after the last date of publication of this Notice is provided by law during which any person in interest shall have the right to contest the legality of the Resolution or the Bonds, or any provision made for the security and payment of the Bonds, and that after such time, no one shall have any cause of action to contest the regularity, formality or legality thereof for any cause whatsoever.

Boulder Council: A hearing regarding the standing of
appellant Mark Nelson, who filed an appeal of the planning commission’s approval of Jacqui Smalley’s Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application for the Boulder Arts Center, department reports, fire council plans on holding a demonstration, and Economic Development Board application for funds discussed. Boulder Council Cont'd from page 6
that, yes, in the past others have recused themselves. Cox stated that a number of other people could have appealed this, including adjacent neighbors or elected officials, and these appellants would have standing. Cox then asked, if Nelson is granted standing, whether Smalley would have an opportunity to appeal the standing in front of a district court before the town held a hearing on Nelson’s appeal. McIff answered that this would be up to a judge, but likely not. Cox made a motion to dismiss the appeal based on the lack of evidence provided that Nelson will suffer damage distinct from the general community. Gladys LeFevre and Elizabeth Julian voted in favor of dismissing the appeal. Conrad Jepson voted against dismissing the appeal. The appeal was thereby dismissed. Department reports followed. EMTs have had several calls this month. The radio communication remains inadequate, but they have been able to respond through relays. The two new EMTs have yet to take the national exam. The fire council plans on holding a demonstration on creating defensible space on August 28 from 10am-12pm. They will also provide information on acquiring equipment. Elena LeFevre has been appointed to the Cemetery Board to determine how to map and plot the cemetery, especially as people have recently been requesting to reserve plots. Cox asked for a follow up on identifying veterans so that they can get flags in place by Veteran's Day. The next PC meeting will include a public hearing on a change in the ordinance
regarding wireless communications, and Tom Hoyt’s conceptual plan for a new subdivision. The meeting will occur at 7pm on August 13, and will be preceded by a work meeting with Lee Nellis at 6pm. The Economic Development Board is working on an application that will be available for people to apply for funds. They will hopefully have $95,000 to distribute. Public comments followed. Two members of the public expressed concerns that the issues Nelson brought up in his appeal have still not been addressed. One stated
concerns over the lack of open communication occuring in the town over the last few months, and how this can lead to distrust. Another commenter stated that they agreed with the points made in Nelson’s appeal, and believed that he should have been granted standing based on a number of factors, including that Nelson owns land and business in Boulder which are affected by land use decisions and that procedural errors were made in the PC process. The Boulder Town Council meets on the first Thursday of each month at 7pm.
