View the August 21 Solar Eclipse at Capitol Reef National Park

Bryce Canyon City invites all families to enjoy a free biking experience in beautiful southern Utah

BRYCE CANYON CITY - Visitors can enjoy a fun-filled family weekend at Bryce Canyon City’s first ever Canyon 2 Canyon bike ride from August 25 to the 26. The event starts Friday, August 25, with a free outdoor movie.

The free bike ride, between Red Canyon and Bryce Canyon, begins Saturday morning and includes beautiful scenery, vendors, games and more.

Riders can leave at any time, but the first shuttle will leave for the starting point at 8:30 a.m. and will run every 30 minutes. The last shuttle and pick up will be at 2:30 p.m. Ruby’s Inn will provide a trailer to transport bikes.

The participants train for ten days on riparian ecology, archeology and geology, plant identification, backcountry camping and living, and other safety and technical skills. Once their training is complete, crews pack in and camp along the river for up to eight days at a time. The rigorous work involves the use of chainsaws and other small hand tools to treat Russian olive trees, a highly invasive species that has changed the channel morphology and chemistry of the Escalante River.

The Escalante River Watershed Partnership (ERWP) was created in 2009 to help restore the Escalante River and works closely with the Con-

ESCALANTE - Thanks to the upcoming solar event on August 21, business at Seymour Solar is booming.

Seymour Solar, a familyrun business based in Escalante—located on Main Street right next to High Adventure Gas & Goodies—manufactures and sells high quality solar filters for looking directly at the sun.

Business owner Steve Seymour says, “We had the eclipse in 2012 and it was pretty big, but this is much bigger because it’s going across the whole U.S. and it is a total and not an annular eclipse.”

An annular solar eclipse happens when the moon covers the sun's center, leaving the sun's visible outer edges to form a “ring of fire,” or annulus, around the moon. During a total eclipse, the new moon comes between the sun and the Earth and casts the darkest

part of its shadow, called the umbra, on Earth.

During a full solar eclipse, known as “totality,” it is almost as dark as night.

Seymour says their company sells solar filters for a variety of solarviewing applications and instruments.

BOULDER - Boulderites of course already know about Magnolia's Street Food but other countians may not have yet gotten the word. Located in the parking lot at the Anasazi State Park, their food is super fresh and the setting is super cute and you can eat out under the lovely trees at the park if you so choose. It's the height of summer, so if you haven't been there yet, try them out on the way through Boulder, or make it a destination as a special trip.

A Take on the Immigration Issue from an Immigrant

Immigration issue from Immigrant: President Trump has gang of opportunists (not serving Trump or nation), Republican party is hiding / clueless. We (350 million Americans) are taken for a ride. (1) 350 million Americans in USA vs. 6,000 millions in rest of the world. Mr. Trump’s law – Immigrant must speak English, must earn enough to live in USA, etc. Mr. Trump is republican + US house of representative (republican majority) + US Senate (republican majority) need to dismantle the Immigration Preference # 2 (sponsoring father, mother, etc.) and Immigration preference # 5 ( sponsoring siblings – brother, sister, etc.). Mr/Mrs can file for 4 parents of 90+ age who never been out in their own country – wait is 2 to 4 years. (2) Dismantle amendment 14 – anyone can come in this country deliver a baby, get birth certificate and go home. The kid can come back any time in USA as US citizen by birth.

Change of amendment needs passage in US congress and US Senate, then ratified by 2/3rd states by 2/3 majority. All these can be done as republicans are all over. There are about million born in USA are in middle East and Asia. In USA, there are hospitals and agencies in this business (yes. Our own people). (3) Look at world report. USA has lowest immigration problem than true world picture. Biggest migration is from Africa to Western Europe. China’s one kid only policy is creating problems in labor market. It is opening it’s doors to all south Asian countries. Without Malaysia, Singapore will be stinky. Middle East has most immigrants for decades. Australia has open immigration policy. New Zealand needs people to work as milk vendor and in McDonald. If you want to pay only $1 for two heads of lettuce (bend over job) or gallon of milk under $3 (wake up at 3 AM), Hispanic (Mexicans) are the one we need. Are we kidding ourself ? Unemployment under 5% means zero unemployment. 5 out of 100 do not work no matter what country it is. (4) Best immigration policy – Saudi Arabian style – For labor market - Provide white card for 18 months. After 18 months he/she must go back and he/she can return for next 18 months. After 5 years, with credit report, provide Green Card and after 5 more years provide eligibility for citizenship. For high tech industry, immigrant must be paid as much as Americans. This will provide no incentive to high tech industry (Apple, Microsoft, 500 others, etc.) to go to China, India to get cheap engineers. (5) Forget border on south. More illegals entering thru our airports. A French or German or English girl land at New York Airport as a visitor and disappear in crowd in San Francisco or Chicago. We like that. On the other hand browny born in USA (better off than most of us) is still perceived as illegal. (6) In China, there are agencies making money selling Green cards for transferring $ 500,000 in USA. This is most pathetic program we have. In Asia, there are more than 500 million millionaires ready to dump their idiot kids in USA. Am I smarter than our federal cronies ? No. They simply don’t want to do required job. Drinking water and milk may be making their brain dull. May be brain booster like Marijuana shot should be ok for political cronies (to get our required service). Yes. I am immigrant from India who definitely paid more in taxes and in labor market than average Americans who born in this country.

Folks! Wake up and do your part. Let our cronies know that we know all these.

Un-American

To our community, regarding the white supremacist hate groups that are responsible for the violence in Charlottesville: My heart is broken. I am ashamed to be human. I am so sorry if any of you have suffered because of their cruel displays of hatred and intolerance. Please know that most white Americans are appalled, sickened and outraged by the statements and actions of the white supremacist hate groups. And, yes, we need to call them what they are. These hate groups are profoundly unamerican, unchristian, inhumane, amoral, unkind and disgusting. If there is anyone in our community who feels threatened or alienated by their hate, if there is anyone who is african american, muslim, jewish, asian, hispanic, native american, LGBTQ, disabled, if there is anyone who feels rejected, afraid, offended, hurt, insulted, simply because of who you are, please know that we are your brothers and sisters.

Please know that you can come to us for refuge and safety. Please know that we do not share their monstrous hatred. Please know that we are deeply sorry for any pain that you suffered because of their revolting message of hate. Please know that we are committed to loving one another, all of us, in the spirit of kindness and our shared humanity. Please know that we take the following words to heart: Love thy neighbor as thyself. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

WASHINGTON, D.C. Critics charge that the Obamacare marketplaces are imploding, but federal data says otherwise.

One measure shows that current premiums are bringing in well more than enough to pay for claims, on average.

Another, which looks at the mix of healthy to sick customers in the insurance exchanges, shows stability for 2016 and early 2017.

Andy Slavitt is the former acting administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. He said if the White House were not trying to undermine the Affordable Care Act, most exchanges would be fine.

"Given that this is a profitable market, absent this action by the Trump administration, you would be seeing insurers expand," Slavitt said.

Critics of the ACA say costs are spiking and choices are disappearing. But Slavitt said after some turbulence in 2014 and 2015, the markets' fundamentals are "healthy and profitable."

One central argument for repealing Obamacare is that some exchanges offer only one insurance plan, or have none to offer at all. Mario Molina, the

former CEO of Molina Healthcare, said only 0.1 percent of counties - with a total of about 10,000 residents - have no plan.

And he said that is a problem.

But, Molina said, attempts to repeal the ACA are causing confusion and instability.

He said that's what's driving some insurers away.

"It's the policies and the debate that are scaring off the insurance companies," Molina said. "We've seen a number of large insurers withdraw simply because it's not a big part of their business, and they're not willing to put up with the instability around this."

According to Slavitt, many of those counties are rural, with a lot of health care problems that predate the ACA. "In many rural parts of this country, it's not just that there are very few health plans, there's very few hospital systems and very few physician offices," Slavitt said. "There's just too few people that live there."

Since the failure of repeal bills in the Senate, debate on health care in Congress has quieted considerably. A bipartisan group in the House is pushing for more moderate reform.

New Commercial Opportunity Available at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area

Courtesy national Park serviCe

Busy boat ramp at Lake Powell. Glen Canyon announces a new business opportunity for a Commercial Use Authorization to deliver and pickup boats and personal watercraft.

GLEN CANYON NATIONAL RECREATION AREA – A new business opportunity is available to provide launch and retrieval services of rental boats and personal watercraft to Lake Powell. Interested businesses are invited to apply for a Commercial Use Authorization (CUA), which will permit them to deliver and/or pick up boats (less than 26 feet long) and personal watercrafts (Jet Ski, Sea-Doo, etc.).

Locations at which this service may take place are limited to the following: the public boat ramps at Stateline, Antelope Point, Bullfrog,

Halls Crossing or Hite. Prior to this new CUA, customers had to deliver rented vessels themselves to the lake, but will now be able to contract with an approved CUA holder to provide launch and retrieval services.

According to Superintendent William Shott, “We are pleased to provide this new business opportunity, which will improve safety and customer service. Professionals will be available to drive the rental boats on trailers and drop them in the water.

Hands-on safety briefings will also be provided to their clientele prior to taking possession

of their rental vessels.”

The CUA permit program authorizes businesses to provide certain commercial services under two-year permits with specific requirements for certifications and insurance.

Anyone can apply, there is a non-refundable $100 application fee, and there is no deadline. The first step in obtaining a CUA is the submission of a CUA application request form (pdf file). For more information, please contact the Commercial Services Office at 928-608-6320.

It is the start of a new season for the Bobcats and it should be a fun one. The baseball team should be solid this year, but in High School ball, it always depends on who shows up as the pitcher, that is about 75% of the game. The Volleyball team should do well again this year, they came off second place in state last year and only lost two players from that team. The Lady’s first five of six games are home games and then they hit the road, so come early if you want to see them in action.

The Cross Country team that has been a powerhouse for the last 6 years will continue again this year. Parowan High has again moved back to 2A and they just squeaked out 2 point victories over the Lady Cats these last two years and that should make it easier for the Lady’s.

The Fall season is really short, but long on entertainment, come out and support the Bobcats.

Gearing Up for Fall Sports Whatever your outdoor athletic passions are, the fall season is an ideal time of year to get out and enjoy them.

However, the pleasant weather and fresh air may have you pushing new boundaries and venturing farther than ever.

Whether you are hiking a trail or training for a fall marathon, this great gear can help you before, during and after your next big activity.

You are likely well-versed in the need for sunscreen and bug spray to prevent burns and itch. But there is one more essential skin care item that all endurance athletes should have and apply before their next long run or hike: chafing and blister prevention products. While there are many name brand glides and gels on the market, a thin layer of petroleum jelly applied to areas prone to this irritation often works just as well.

Jjust because you’re off the beaten path doesn’t mean you want to be off the grid.

Stay connected wherever your journey takes you. A timepiece is often the best choice for active outdoor adventures, since it keeps one’s hands free.

Consider the WSD-F20 Protek smart outdoor watch from Casio, which features low power consumption GPS and location memory that can help you map your course and stay on

track even when you’re offline. Its rugged build and water resistance makes it a good choice for the outdoors, while its functions like altimeter, barometer, thermometer and compass can help keep you informed.

The benefits of a foam roller are numerous, and no fall athlete should be without this simple tool. After a long workout, hike or training session, use a foam roller to help

reduce muscle tightness and recover faster, so you can get back to your favorite activities sooner. While there are a range of varieties available in sporting goods stores, most foam rollers are affordable and durable, making them a great investment for athletes of all levels.

This fall, get geared up properly to make the most of all your athletic endeavors.

Wills, Trusts, and More Second Marriages Later in Life

by Jeffery J. mCkenna

is through the use of a trust.

The trust can be created within a will (this is called a testamentary trust) or it can be created within a living trust (this is a trust created while one is alive).

Significantly, the trust maker would set forth the terms of the trust according to his or her wishes, and would select the trustee (or trustees) to manage the trust. Upon the death of the trust maker, the trustee would then manage the trust assets subject to those specified wishes of the trust maker.

For couples in a second marriage, it is often important to sign a marital agreement that states each spouse can dispose of his or her estate as desired. If such a document is not signed, a surviving spouse could legally attempt to “override” the estate plan of the deceased spouse.

Often, a given state’s law

will provide that a surviving spouse can “elect against the will.” This means that a surviving spouse is entitled to a spousal share as specified by statute despite the fact that the will may provide differently.

Proper estate planning in these circumstances can be a great blessing. It can relieve significant concerns of adult children when a parent remarries later in life, and it can bring peace of mind to the parent, knowing that he or she has succeeded in protecting the financial legacy of the children.

WITH A SATELLITE OFFICE NOW IN PANGUITCH. Jeffery J. McKenna is a local attorney serving clients in Utah, Nevada, and Arizona.

He is a shareholder at the law firm of Barney McKenna and Olmstead. He is a founding member and former President of the Southern Utah Estate Planning Council.

Who?

The soldier, serving overseas, was annoyed and upset when his girlfriend sent him a "Dear John" letter, breaking off their engagement and asking for her photograph back.

The serviceman went out and collected from his friends all the unwanted photographs of women that he could find. Then he bundled them all together and sent them back to the girl with a note saying: "Regret cannot remember which one is you - please keep your photo and return the others."

Ring It Up

I was checking out at the busy Super Market, and the cashier was having problems.

The register ran out of paper, the scanner malfunctioned, and finally the cashier spilled a handful of coins. When she totaled my order, it came to exactly $22. Trying to soothe her nerves, I said, "That's a nice round figure." Still frazzled, she glared at me and said, "You're no bean pole yourself."

Today's Thought

If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

l A u G h i N g Feets pOiNt!!

One day I asked my two-year-old daughter, Catherine, where her slippers were."Downstairs in the kitchen," she told me. "What are they doing there?" I asked.

"Nothing," she replied.

"They can't walk because they don't have feets in them right now."

Truth

When my son was about 4 years old, we were driving down the road. I took a drink of my coffee, and the lid came off and spilled all over me. I mumbled a little bit, and pulled over to wipe up the mess, at which time my son rolled his eyes, shook his finger at me, and said, "That is exactly why you are NOT supposed to drink and drive!"

Hush

I was watching a new workout video to prepare myself for an exercise session the next morning. My husband stuck his head in the room, looked around and said, "That would probably work a lot better if you actually did the exercises."

Patience

After impatiently following a slow-moving pickup truck for several miles on a hilly twolane road, we decided to stop in the next town for lunch and let the truck get far ahead. We had a leisurely meal, and then pulled back onto the road. Just ahead of us was another vehicle pulling out from a different restaurant. It was the same truck.

Compliment

Shelby, 15, was visiting grandma for five days and helping around the house and yard to earn some money.

They also played board games, went swimming, and went out for dinner. Shelby's comment after it all was: "You're sure old, Grandma, but you're really fun!"

Second marriages later in life can be wonderful experiences and often should be encouraged, but they are not without some special considerations.

Often, older couples have to cope with adult children who cannot understand why mom or dad wants to remarry.

By updating one’s estate plan, many concerns related to the marriage can be minimized.

In second marriages later in life, there is often a desire to allow the estate of the first spouse to die to be available for a surviving spouse during his or her life. However, the deceased spouse often wants the estate to ultimately be distributed to his or her children upon the surviving spouse’s death.

The best way to ensure that one’s assets are available for a surviving spouse but ultimately distributed to one’s children from a prior marriage

This week has been really something! So many things to do and so little time to do them in. Last Tuesday was the welcome back to school night at the Elementary School and the Bobcat Baseball team hosted Piute in a game here.

Wednesday was the start of the Garfield County Fair, with registration and also the End of Summer Bash, sponsored by the Panguitch Prevention Coalition held at the high school track in the evening.

Also on Wednesday the Lady Bobcats Volleyball team hosted Canyon View team and that game was here. Thursday at the Fair will be judging of the exhibits and in the afternoon weighting of livestock. The baseball team will be hosting the Valley Buffalos here, so come out and cheer them on.

Friday is a really big day with lots going on at the Fair.

The day starts at 9am with the livestock show at the Triple C. Arena. 10am are the fair exhibits, open to the public for the rest of the day. Noon Inflatables and Water walkers and they are free. Horse fun day, at the outdoor arena will start at 1:30. @ 2pm it will be bingo at the Fair Building with great prizes. Also it will be the Dutch Oven cook off, at the pavilion also at 2pm.

You can eat the Dutch Oven food at the Pavilion at 6pm don’t come late, this is a very popular food contest and the cuisine really goes fast. At 4pm it is the cutest baby contest and it will start with the youngest to the oldest, I wonder if I show up in a diaper I would qualify as the oldest cry baby! There will be a Lego contest at the Triple C at 5pm and they do have age categories for this event. And last but not the least there will be

a rodeo at the outdoor arena at @ 5pm.

Saturday is the fun day at the Fair! Starting off at 9am with the Horse shoe tournament, (you must sign up between 8 and 8:30 for this event. Also at 9am the Ping Pong drop will take place east of the Fair Building, lots of good prize here. Then the kids go directly to my favorite event the Fish Grab and it will be held at the Fair grounds at 9:30am. From 10am to 2pm it will be the Fair Exhibits.

Lots of things start at 10am: Judging of the small animals, Livestock Auction at Triple C and the inflatables and Water Walkers and games will be starting at that time. At 10am is the Pet show and that will be followed by the Pet looka-like contest. At 11am it will be another day at the exciting Bingo tables with many prizes up for grabs. At noon it will be the Livestock Award Ceremony and at the Pavilion it will be the free County Commissioners BBQ. At 2pm it will be the Garfield Co. Talent Show, with some of the best talent anywhere. After the show you can pick up your exhibits and prizes. To finish off the Fair it will be the Lawn Mower Race, with my speedy 5 mph mower I think I will pass on this event. The Fair gets bigger and better every year and with Lance Miller over the events and all of the great volunteers, it is just going to be the fun event for the summer.

The Lady Cats will be hosting Tabiona in the morning on Saturday with games at 10:00am and 11:30am.

Next week pretty well raps up the summer events and then it is into fall sports at the High School. The ATV

Rally starts on Wednesday the 23rd and runs through Saturday. This the 8th annual Rally and it just keeps getting bigger each year. 8 years ago when the Rally first started there were less than 50 riders involved and last year there was close to 300 registered.

This year, because of the fire the registration slowed up a bit, but as two weeks ago there were more than 200 signed up. If you would like to go on one of these rides, on North Main there are ATV’s for rent and that way you can see if you want to own one of these machines. How times changed, when the rally started most everyone rode 4 wheelers, now it is almost all of them are riding side by sides. We live in an ATV paradise; you can go from here to Canada or down to Mexico. For a shorter trip you can go on trails over to Escalante and at the Rally last year there were 18 different rides that you could go on locally.

This year because of the fire, I am sure some of these rides will be cut short. This Rally brings a lot of people to town from all over the County and they do spend the big bucks.

My Granddaughter Teah was in town and looking for something to do, so we went out to Calf Creek Falls. It had been 8 or 9 years since we had been there and they moved the falls back some. It used to be a 5 mile hike, now it is 6 miles long. I don’t know what is going on there but the area is growing in beautiful, with the trees and the underbrush growing wild it is a great hike. This truly is one of the best hikes in our area, it is a bit long and with much of the trail being sand, it does make it worthwhile when you reach

the Falls. They never seem to change with the water staying the same all summer long. On the many trips I have made to the Falls, I have never seen a fisherman there, even though you can see that the stream is loaded with trout. All of the fish seem to be in the 10 to 12 inch range, but there must be larger one there somewhere.

One thing that I do miss is the Petroglyphs at marker 13.

These magnificent art objects are blocked out by the growth of the trees. These giant drawings are really high on the canyon wall and how they got there is a real mystery to me. If you are old like me just go slow and enjoy the scenery and bring lots of water.

I attended the City Council meeting last Tuesday along with two others. The Council has decided to use the swimming pool money for other recreation projects. One is a lot of fun for the kids, it is one of those showers that come up through the ground and the kids really love running through them in the summer time. The other is a pickle ball court for the adults, it is a game like tennis, but played on a much smaller court. I hear that this game has a lot of people playing in the surrounding area.

The other thing that I learned was that we were only on well water for three days and we again are back on spring water.

Mayor Houston is making sure that the water is being tested a lot more for purity than in the past. The city management is encouraging the residents to NOT use the culinary water to water lawns.

I didn’t know that old age would get here so fast.

UTAH - Did you know that, on average, elementary school children get eight to 12 colds or cases of the flu each school year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention? This school year, follow some healthy habits to avoid the back-to-school plague.

First, wash hands and other items that you touch, like cell phones or desks, frequently. Cell phones carry 10 times more bacteria than most toilet seats; and school desks have been found to hold 400 times more bacteria than toilets.

Next, pick up school supplies that help fight germs, such as Easy Liner brand shelf liner with Clorox antimicrobial protection. The shelf liner features an antimicrobial additive to prevent the growth of odorcausing mold and mildew on the liner. Plus, it can be tossed in the wash for easy cleaning.

Place it in areas of your home or classroom where school items are stored like floors, counters, desks and shelves.

Keep your child home if they are sick. Help the other families out by caring for

your young one who are ill at home. Teachers are often to busy to provide the care that a sick child needs and that child could infect an entire class.

Teach your children proper handwashing techniques.

Show them how to cover their mouths when they cough or sneeze. Show them how to throw away used tissues.

Ask them to clean the tops of their desk regularly with soap and water. Teach them to keep their pencils and other items that can carry germs to themselves.

Send them to school with a water bottle and remind them not to share it. Drinking fountains are one place germs are commonly shared in schools.

Help stave off colds and flu all school year with great germ-fighting habits.

Make sure children get enough rest. School-age children should get get 10 to 11 hours of sleep every night, according to the CDC. Sleep deprivation lowers the immune system's ability to fight off infection.

In the middle of some downpours on Saturday Dirk and Whitni Chynoweth were able to have their Wedding Reception at the Red Rock Ranch House. It was beautiful and everyone looked so happy. It was so good of the rain to wait a while before coming down again so they could be outside.

Coming up on August 26th will be the Wedding Reception for Chris Mathews and his fiancee' Sasha Haycock. The reception will go from 6:00 to 8:00 P.M. It will be held in Escalante at the Escalante Show House. Parents of Chris are Cliff and Collette Mathews of Henrieville and Sasha's parents are Warren Haycock and Linda Imlay of Escalante.

We wish both couples a very Happy Future and lots of love.

The rain caused so much mud and a few flooded basements. From Bryce Canyon City to Henrieville the effects were felt. Down by Raymond Brinkerhoff's farm the water just poured across the road and was impassable for some time.

Rod and Kathern Syrett were cleaning out their basement for some time not to mention they decided to have a BBQ and the BBQ blew up. It was a rough day for them. Jentre' Leishman is down from up north with her children visiting for a few days with her parents and witnessed this distressing time.

I am sure there were many instances of distress in the area and even though we welcome the moisture with happy hearts we could do without the mud and floods. Many streets were very muddy. And even worse the hay that is down and needing to be baled but is now soaked. Ouch.

Welcome back to Henrieville the Carson and Beth Johnson Family. Carson has been selected to be the new Maintenance and Grounds person at Bryce Valley Elementary so they were able to come back home. They are very happy and their children, Dallie, Arena, and Ketch are glad to be here. They are presently living in the Iris Bushnell home. We are glad to have them back.

Speakers in Tropic today were, Tyra Tebbs, Janette Pollock, Chandlyr Tebbs and Logan LeFevre. It is always great to hear from the Young Adults when they are home from school. Logan is living in Kanab with his brother Levi and working out on fires.

In Cannonville they had Ken and Linda Whitney, parents of Melanie Muir, speaking on their recent mission in Peru.

In Henrieville the Max and Liz Eagar family were the speakers. Three of their sons talked and the younger girls sang.

The boys were Calvin, Watts, and Thomas.

Where will you be for the 2017 total eclipse?

For some, August 21 will be just another day—start of another week, maybe getting ready for the first day of school. For many Boulderites, however, the eclipse is worthy of a several-hundred mile trek northward to be somewhere within its “path of totality.”

This is an almost oncein-a-lifetime experience, speaking for myself. The last total solar eclipse in the U.S. occurred February 26, 1979.

Its path of totality--- the band in which you can see the full eclipse, with blocked out sun and the corona--- swept in a curve across the northwestern states. I missed that, but it was memorable even to view the partial event from a loading dock in Salt Lake City, with the surreal hush and muted

midday sky. What must the full experience be like?

Whether you are staying here or traveling for it, please heed the cautions against direct, unprotected viewing. Even those halfsecond, sneaky glances at the eclipsing sun are damaging to your eyes. Anasazi Museum in Boulder started out with 250 pairs of eclipse viewers for sale. As of Friday Aug 11, only 14 were left! If you haven’t picked up a pair of eclipse viewers by now, it may be difficult to procure them.

Your remaining option may be to use the indirect pinhole viewers that let you track the shadow as it is moving.

However many Boulderites are heading north, we’ll be joining thousands, maybe millions converging toward the same general desti-

nations. This time, the path itself gives much wider latitude (literally) in which to view the total eclipse. Some people are heading to Oregon, some to Idaho, others to Wyoming or Nebraska. All this for an experience that will last just shy of two minutes, just one-seventh of the time it takes a missile to

strike Guam from North Korea.

Here’s hoping for great weather and clear skies. Some clear thinking will be welcome too, so we all get the chance to remember back to where we were in 2017 for the total eclipse.

Orders for Seymour Solar products fill the Escalante Post Office.

Seymour Solar Cont'd from page 1

Seymour Solar’s products are used on telescopes, spotting scopes, binoculars and cameras--any optical device to block the sun’s rays so that you can look directly at the sun. With people across the U.S. preparing for the total eclipse, orders are surging for products to look safely at the sun.

“What you ideally want in a solar viewing filter is a filter that is considered ‘ND5,’ which refers to Neutral Density 5,” says Seymour. In technical terms, this is ten to the minus five percent, which means that you are only allowing .001% of light through the filter. Or, looking at it the other way, you are blocking out 99.999% of the light the

whole spectrum, from ultraviolet through infrared.

Seymour notes that if you are buying filters you want to buy them from a reputable company. The American Astronomical Society provides a list of companies on their Web site, as does NASA. And Seymour Solar is among those listed on these sites.

“We sell filters throughout the world,” says Seymour.

He says there are at least two solar eclipses somewhere in the world each year, so their business is steady. Seymour Solar is among fewer than twenty companies that manufacture white light solar filters in the United States, and they are the only one in the state of Utah. The company has sev-

eral international vendors and even markets their products through Amazon.com.

But you could say that for the August 21 event, Seymour Solar’s orders have totally eclipsed previous sales.

“We’ve had about three hundred orders a day in the last month. We’ve shipped out almost two thousand packages in one week,” says Seymour.

Orders have been shipped out through the U.S. Postal Service, which for several weeks has kept everyone at the Escalante Post Office extremely busy.

The next eclipse in North America will be an annular eclipse in 2024.

Garkane Breaks Ground On Community Solar Amphitheater Project

Left to right – Garkane Energy Advisor James Clegg, Garkane CEO Dan McClendon, Kanab City Mayor Robert Houston, and Garkane Board of Director Andy Gant stand on the site of their first community solar project in Kanab.

KANAB - With the goal of making solar energy more accessible for all of its members and in a joint effort with Kanab City, Garkane broke ground on Friday, August 11 on the area’s first community solar project. Garkane worked closely with Kanab City to find a location that would benefit all of the community, and not just a select few.

The 33kW solar energy system will be constructed as the roof of a new amphitheater being built next to the skate park. The amphitheater nestled beneath Kanab’s red hills will serve as a beautiful backdrop for outdoor concerts, dance recitals, and other live performances.

With the help of an energy efficient rebate from its wholesale power supplier and from the newly created

SHINE program, Garkane is able to fully fund the project without using additional membership capital. The SHINE program is a way for members to pay an additional amount on their monthly bill to help fund local renewable energy projects. Currently, Garkane has 123 accounts participating in the program, purchasing over 202,000 kWh energy blocks.

If Garkane consumers are interested in participating in the program, they can purchase a 100 kWh block of energy for an additional $1.95, which is added to their monthly bill. Garkane Energy Advisor James Clegg stated “we’ve seen an outstanding response to this SHINE program as energy conscious members step up to financially support renewable energy projects in our communities.

We are looking for more participants, as it sort of acts as a crowd-funding way for consumers to bring solar projects to their communities.

The Kanab solar project is the first of three projects planned, and what’s nice about this business model, the co-op takes care of the hard parts – the construction, maintenance and upkeep – and all members benefit because we are reducing our carbon footprint.”

The solar amphitheater is expected to be completed in October, and will include bathrooms, an LED monitor displaying the solar panels output at any given moment, and will serve as a great addition to the ever growing Jacob Hamblin complex.
