CommissionPlanningBoulder by Tessa BOULDERBarkan-The Au gust 2022 Boulder Planning Commission (PC) meeting began with the Town Plan ner presenting on housing performance standards. Per formance standards could act basically as contracts between a landowner who wants to subdivide and the town. It could allow a subdi vider to divide an increased number of lots than usu ally allowed, as long as they held to standards designed to support affordable hous ing and open space, such as maintaining consistent resale values that would increase only with inflation and main taining open space on the land. This solution thereby could link two of the town’s goals—to provide affordable housing and to maintain open space—however, it would only work if people in the town are on board. Existing language in the ordinances on cluster housing does not Boulder Planning

CENTRAL / SOUTH ERN UTAH - State Bank of Southern Utah moved into its current Cedar City headquar ters in December 1999. The bank has enjoyed significant growth throughout Central and Southern Utah, adding eight additional locations and growing the bank’s assets to $2.2 billion. The bank recent ly announced a new office to be constructed in Washington Fields in St. George. To accommodate the bank’s rapid growth a second Cedar City office was built in 2016. As the bank continued to expand, staff was relocated, and existing locations were re modeled, but more space was needed to meet the needs of the bank’s growing customers and employees.Workhas begun on a 20,000-square-foot expansion north of the existing corporate office in Cedar City. The new addition will add fifty offices and larger conference rooms for bank and community use. The old KB Oil building west of the bank was purchased to provide additional parking. Eric Schmutz, President of State Bank said, “We are grateful for the continued support of our customers that made this expansion necessary. The mission of the bank to im prove the lives of our custom ers, employees, and the com munities we serve is as true today as it was when the bank was founded 65 years ago.” “We are grateful to our

It is Just a Fact—Trump is a Crook, Liar, Grifter, Con-man, Narcissist It is just a fact—Trump is a crook, liar, grifter, con-man, narcissist. He has lied and cheated people his entire adult life. He has lied about his fi nances. He has exaggerated his income when it is to his advan tage, and he has minimized his income when that has been to his advantage. He has screwed people through his "univer sity" and his "charities" and even his own PACs. He is du plicitous, lacks loyalty, integ rity, empathy. He spews wild lies and accusations and out rageous conspiracy theories to keep his followers agitated and incapable of seeing the truth. It is an old technique to keep himself in the spotlight while diverting attention from his nefarious deeds. His al lies, like Jim Jordan, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Bobert, Mike Lee, Kevin McCarthy and many more are all of the same ilk. Most Americans are aware of this. The real problem for America is the number of citi zens who will not relinquish their idolatry of this false sav iour and hideous cabal of selfserving supporters. Despite the fact that Christopher Wray is a Trump appointee and many of the judges who ruled against the election fraud claims were Trump supporters and none of the Trump supporters have been able to produce any sub stantial evidence supporting Trump's wild claims, lies and allegations the myths persist because too many Ameri cans refuse to see the truth.

GARFIELD COUNTYYou’ll notice in this paper a Notice of Proposed Tax In crease – Garfield County School District, and you might also have received a Notice of Property Valuation and Tax Change from the Gar field County Auditor show ing an increase of taxes from the School District and have questions. Are my taxes going up? The Garfield School District is restructuring its tax rates to gain access to a new funding source from the State that requires we levy a minimum Capital Local Levy Rate. The District raised it’s Capital Levy to this amount and simultaneously reduced our Voted Local and Board 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 double digits; this is due to the method of calculating “Certi fied Tax Rates.” The expla nation of certified tax rates and why it shows this way is too complicated for this FAQ, but if you look at the total of all taxes levied on your notice for 2021 and compare it to the proposed 2022 total taxes, your actual taxes paid for the School District Levies will be approxi mately the same. Take the in cluded 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 districts, like ours. We’re sub mitting a request for funding to help finance our new Elemen tary in Escalante. This would be a huge win for our District and speed up the timeline to address our other capital proj ects. —Garfield County School District Taxing Entity 2021 Taxes 2022 Proposed Taxes Difference School District $374.34 $377.31 $2.97 State School Fund $136.45 $133.99 $-2.46 Total $510.79 $511.30 $0.51 Example of the total of all taxes levied on your Garfield County tax notice for 2021, compared to the proposed 2022 total taxes. Courtesy Garfield County School District provide enough incentive for subdividers to actually clus ter. Education on possibili ties is important to make sure residents understand options and have the ability to give input. There is a lot of flex ibility and creativity in how this could be set up, as long as the town has clear goals. Deed restrictions were then discussed. Incentives, such as increased density, could be allowed if some percentage of the lots are then restricted, for example, to people below 80% of the medium income or to local workers. For example, an employer could live in one unit and have three others on the property, as long as they were rented to people work ing inPerformancetown. standards and deed restrictions are op tions that can be discussed at the upcoming housing forum. The tentative date for the fo rum is November 17. Next on the agenda was discussing the forum. Up dates were provided. Com munity land trusts and solu tions by other towns in the region are being looked into. Communication with the County Planner has occurred, and leaders of various hous ing projects in the area will be reached out to. Topics for the forum were discussed, including successful projects in the county and region; funding including grants; ways to provide new buildings in cluding organizations, such as Community Rebuilds or NeighborWorks; incen tives for renting out existing homes that are empty; and looking at the big picture of the town’s goal for housing and why housing is impor tant. Residents will be asked to participate in working committees on these topics. A pegboard will be sent out to solicit volunteers. It will be important to consider what Utah laws al low and how much afford able housing the town actu ally needs. It was brought up that affordable land and affordable housing for rent ers/employees are two dif ferent things. Providing housing could help fill town positions including teachers, EMTs, and other workers. Information that has already been gathered on the Boul der housing situation will be made available on the website and at the Publicforum.comments were solicited. One commenter en couraged that public opinion be considered and also asked the town to look at what would happen if this issue doesn’t get fixed. Another asked to encourage design standards in terms of aesthetics. A third voiced that, when looking at how much affordable housing is needed, the town must take into account that all renters are vulnerable to changes in their living situation. Another suggested that the PC reach out to businesses to find out how much additional hous ing they need. A PC member stated that a possible solution could be making it easier for employers to have more hous ing on their properties. Next on the agenda was discussing fire hydrants, as re quested by the Town Council (TC). A draft ordinance re garding fire protection in new subdivisions was presented, with items for discussion. The draft requires that all new subdivision lots be within 400 feet of a hydrant meet ing fire requirements (includ ing approved private water systems). This distance could be increased due to sensitive lands or other building restric tions but not due to economic hardship, or waived in sub divisions with no more than one additional lot, where new streets will not be constructed and lots are served by private driveways. A public hearing will occur on this next month. The TC also requested that the PC update the ordi nances to make consistent road width standards.The TC will be asked to come up with a more precise directive. Zoning Administrator (ZA) protocol was discussed. ZA issues were brought up at the last TC meeting, includ ing that the ZA is working re motely and are not here to do inspections in person, and that the response time is slow. Ap plicable sections of the ordi nances were reviewed, and it was stated that the ordinances do not require the ZA to be present in person for any in spections. The County Build ing inspector has the author ity to do on-site inspections. Response time in other juris dictions were considered and, given that the ZA works parttime, it was discussed that two to three days is an appropriate response time for emails, and that at least a week will be required to examine an ap plication. The ZA could come up with a timeframe and pro cedures. As a mostly admin istrative job, it is acceptable to work this job remotely. A number of PC members of fered that if someone is ever needed on the ground, they would be willing to assist the ZA, and the PC as a whole voiced their support for the current ZA remaining in their position.Public comments fol lowed. The PC was thanked for examining the ZA posi tion. Disappointment was voiced that in the last TC meeting, when the PC asked about how to proceed with hydrants, mainly only one TC member was heard from. They would have preferred hearing from each of the TC members.Another commented that, in the hydrant ordinance, lot sizes other than 5 acres should be considered when determining distance require ments, asked why all the cost should be put on the devel oper, and asked why a smaller subdivision shouldn’t require fire protection when larger subdivisions do. They also voiced frustration about com municating with PC members. Responses were given before the close of the meeting that the PC will consider other lot sizes and ask for public com ments on this next month at the hearing, and it should be made clear that members of the public can approach PC members. Procedural changes could also be made to enhance communication. Next month’s agenda will include improv ing communication between residents and the ZA and PC. Upcoming business for next month includes the pos sibility of two subdivision applications if paperwork is received, updates on the community housing forum and working groups, a public hearing on the hydrant ordi nance, and improving com munication. The Boulder PC meets on the second Thursday of each month at 7pm.
Boulder Planning: A presentation from the Boulder Town Planner on housing performance standards, deed restrictions, topics for an upcoming housing forum, fire hydrants, Zoning Administration protocol and email response time, and upcoming business for next month discussed.

Page 4 The Insider August 18, 2022
Marshal Dwight Williams was born on the 12th of April of 1928, ten years after the end of World War I and ten years before World War II started. Born in what was once known as Bullberry—now Teasdale, Utah. Dwight was delivered by his midwife grandmother, Mary C. Williams; Mary C. Williams went on to deliver some 90 babies, of which all the mothers and children lived. Dwight was the young est of six children and raised and still lives in the family home built by his grandfather, Gustavus Williams, in 1882. According to Dwight, growing up in the 1930s, at the height of the Great De pression, life in Teasdale was not much different than any other era, as the people of Teasdale were poor but no body knew Dwight’sit. mother was a hardy woman and raised her family in the Utah tradition. The family grew their own food and raised their own meat. The milk cow was a daily chore that Dwight re members; too young to milk, Dwight’s job was to hold the cow’sRefrigerationtail. was nonexistent in the early days of Teasdale, so community members developed what they called a beef trust that ev eryone shared in. When hogs were slaughtered, the bladder of the hog was blown up and used as a Wheatfootball.was grown and taken to the old Grist Mill down by the Fremont River and ground into flour. On bake day, Dwight’s job was to cut the cedar wood for his mother to use in the stove. Everything that was grown and raised by the Williams family was used, and nothing went to waste. Dwight remembers the first movie and even a circus that came to Teasdale that had elephants and lions; how they got them here, he doesn't re member. As far as transpor tation in Teasdale in the early days, cars in Teasdale were few, but Dwight recalls John Hiskey, a wealthy sheep man, had one of the first, and it was well known that he would tell his workers, “I don’t care how far you go without any gas, but don’t go anywhere with out anyDwightoil!” married Carol Harward and raised their fam ily in the same house he was born in and where he still lives Astoday.about being the Grand Marshal in the Wayne County World's Fair Parade, Dwight said, “It is too bad I don’t have a horse because if I did, I would ride it in the parade."
News from Wayne County The Wayne County World’s Fair by Adus Dorsey
WAYNE COUNTYLittle, if any, documentation exists today about when and where the first Wayne County Fair took place, and any of those hardy Wayne County in dividuals of days of yore that may have had any recollection of this are most likely long sinceBut,passed.that is not to say that Wayne County folks ever need ed a good excuse to celebrate. Records and recollections of special event celebrations abound in the history books and many Wayne County fam ily histories.IfBarbara Ekker were alive today, she could certainly recall many instances where Wayne County residents came together to commemorate spe cial and patriotic events. And in most cases, Allie Brown, of Loa, was always front and cen ter, in one form or another. A good guess would be that the idea of the first Utah county fair came across the plains in the dreams and vi sions of a new life of the first of the Mormon pioneers. Once the Mormons prolifically spread throughout the Utah Territory and began to set county lines, somebody sitting in the back row at a Sunday School meet ing probably raised their hand and called for a vote to cele brate, and as we all know, they did, and we still do. The First County Fair In medieval Europe, a "fair" was usually a religious gathering, but modern fairs are more about farming. It is wide ly believed that the first U.S. county fair, which was held in Pittsfield, Massachusetts in 1807, was basically just a sheep shearing demonstration and contest. It was the brain child of sheep farmer Elkanah Watson, who simply wanted to promote better farming prac tices. Bolstered by its success, Watson began developing ag ricultural fairs that included contests and activities for the whole family. The Evolution Of The County Fair As word spread about the livestock shows and agricultur al contests Watson hosted, oth er counties began to plan their own fairs. By the mid-1800s, county fairs were widespread across the eastern and midwestern states. Food vendors, baking contests, horse races, and games of chance were add ed to the rosters to entertain the hordes, and local merchants set up booths to sell their wares to the gathered crowds. Some of the first Wayne County Fairs patterned them selves after what early set tlers had experienced in other Utah settlements, and as was tradition, Wayne County Fair events reflected everyday ru ral life. Horse races were an all time favorite and domi nated the hearts and minds for months prior to the fair; com petition was fierce, and the horses knew it. The evolution of the Wayne County Fair into the Wayne County World's Fair happened when someone coined the phrase World's Fair early in Wayne County’s histo ry, and it stuck. Today, Wayne County residents and relatives make the annual pilgrimage to their homeland on a yearly ba sis for the fair to enjoy all the festivities.

Even if you have never signed a will or trust, you have an estate plan. Some of you may be asking, “How?” The answer is the state has a “default estate plan” for those without their own. In Utah (as in many states), if you die without an estate plan, the law provides that your entire estate will be distributed to your spouse if he or she is alive unless you have children from a prior marriage. If you do not have a surviving spouse, the es tate will be distributed to your children and if a child predeceases you, then to that child's children. If you have no surviving children or grandchildren (commonly called your “issue”), then your estate will be distributed to other relatives. If you have a surviving spouse and chil dren from a prior marriage, a certain amount is distributed to your surviving spouse and then one-half of the balance of your estate will be distrib uted to your surviving spouse and one-half to your children. Although the state “de fault estate plan” attempts to represent what most people would want to do with their estate if they had done their own estate planning, it may not be what you want. There are many concerns about rely ing on the state’s “default es tate plan.”Ifyou rely on the state’s “default estate plan,” your desires may not be met when you have children from a prior marriage. As previously stat ed, the state’s “default estate plan” provides that one-half of your estate will go to children from a prior marriage and the other one-half to your surviv ing spouse. Often, it may be desirable to allow the surviv ing spouse to have a lifetime interest in all or a part of your estate until his or her death and at that time the estate could be distributed to your children. Additionally, if you marry lat er in life, you may desire that all your assets be distributed to your children from a prior marriage because your surviv ing spouse has sufficient assets of his or her Hopefully,own.you can see that although we may all have an estate plan, it is very benefi cial and sometimes crucial that you take the time and effort to develop your own estate plan and not rely on the “default estate plan” established by the state legislature.

Since my husband and I were in a hurry to get to the movies, I quickly threw on some old jeans and a sweat shirt.As we stood in line for tickets, I passed the time by making fun of the outfits worn by people nearby.

Monsoons say it loud, and it is almost like raining; say it soft, and it is almost like praying. We have been blessed with the monsoons that have been absent for the last four years. The rain is still hit or miss and is coming during the night time, but wherever it is, we will take it. How dry is it? Vegas had a 1/2" of rain, and it caused a lot of flood ing; two people lost their lives. Because of how dry it is there, they have had much flooding and, yet, they have had only 1 and 1/3 inches of rain in total. This week is the ATV Rally, and so far, 250 have signed up for it, but you can go down any day and register for some of the rides. The rain is great for the rally as it keeps down the dust, however, too much will wash out some of the trails. This is a fun event and one that, if you have an ATV, you don’t want to miss. Next up will be the La bor Day weekend. This is my favorite because that is what I have been my whole life. On Saturday, we will be having a car show. Even though we will be gone, my daughters said they will drive Pat’s Z and my two trucks to the ball field. Last year, they had 75 cars that were there, and they do give out a lot of trophies, which is nice. Don’t forget the Iron County Fair. They have a big parade to start the day off. This year it should be bigger, with it being an election year. They have a fair building with tons of stuff to look at. They also have a car show there, which brings in a lot of works of art. I feel bad about not men tioning the Shakespeare sum mer plays that are going on in Cedar City. They do six plays—three of Shakespeare’s and three regular plays. This is a really entertaining eve ning. I have a little problem understanding Shakespeare’s works, but by the third act, I catch on. Too bad they don’t use English in them. Tuacahn, the outdoor theater in Santa Clara, put on some really good entertain ment, with their three different plays. When we went there, we would go to two of the plays and spend the night in order to attend the second one. Saturday night, we went to see Elvis at the Gem The ater, and, boy, was it good. Tom Hanks played Colonel Parker in this, and he does deserve an award for his part. The actor that played Elvis was so good that you might have thought Elvis was in the house. My daughter said she saw him on a talk show and that he has blond hair and couldn’t sing a note, but they liked his eyes and they taught him to sing for his parts. When I was stationed in Memphis, I woke up to country music, and one morning, the DJ said he had a new young man that had a song that he recorded, and it was Elvis singing, “Momma she done told me, that Chick you are fooling with ain’t no good for you.” I have been an Elvis fan ever since. I thought he was black. That was in 1954. In 1956, some friends and I went to see him in one of the casinos. We were the only young people in the crowd, and he didn’t come back to Ve gas for ten years. I have had very few regrets in my life, but he walked by us, and I didn’t take the time to thank him for his music.Thedog days of summer once coincided with the year’s rising of the "Dog Star," Siri us. In ancient Egypt, Sirius appeared just before the Nile River flood season. They used Sirius as a "watchdog" for that event. Traditionally, the dog days are 40 days—beginning on July 3rd and ending Au gust11.Sirius is the brightest star in the sky, and under the right conditions, you can see it in the daylight. It is one of the stars that make up the constel lation Canis Major, meaning "The Greater Dog." The "Dog Star" can be seen early in the morning (Farmers' Almanac).
A lot of great things have happened in the last year and a half, for America and the Americans, that benefit us all, and it came to an end at the end of this week (the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill). The bipartisan infrastructure pro gram at $1 trillion was signed last year. Then this week, two bipartisan bills were signed, the semiconductor measures on Tuesday—we won’t have to get our car computers from China—and the burn pit bill on Wednesday. Friday, the Inflation Reduction Act was signed, amd this is the largest U.S. investment in energy ini tiatives to fight global warm ing. The bill curbs the cost of prescription drugs for older Americans and places a mini mum 15% tax on corporations that have paid little or nothing. These are the first bills signed in twenty years that are for the American people. The only other bill in that time was cuts on the taxes of the wealthy that spend a lot of money to keep their congressmen on the dole.Gas prices are continu ing to fall below $4.00 a gal lon, and the cost of living fell .5% this last month. Unem ployment has fallen to 3.5%, the lowest in history, and with these new bills, more people will be employed. To say that “Our great country is going bad is nonsense and hate is not veryAfterChristian.”theassassina tion of the Kennedy broth ers, President Johnson said that our nation has no place for hate. George Washing ton said, “Be Americans. Let there be no sectionalism, no North, South, East or West. You are all dependent on one another and should be one in union. In one word, be a na tion. Be Americans and be true toMackyourselves."O.
The volleyball season is off to a great start, with three wins over 3A Millard. Starting with the freshman’s games, it was an entertain ing night. Their sets went to five games and went on for two hours, but for a young team, they really looked good in their victory. Because of the length of the first game, the JV only were able to play three games, and the Cats came away as winners also. The Varsity games were re ally something. Millard would get off to a fast start, only to have the Cats catch up. This game also went five sets, and all of them were really close, including the last one. For so early in the season, the Cats looked really good, with many of their serves going for aces. The next game for the Cats will be at Bryce Valley on the 17th, then Valley will be here on the 24th, and they have an other home game on the 30th against Canyon View. Now is a good time to get your sea son tickets because all of our teams will be entertaining. I don’t have anyone to give me some information on the baseball team, but I understand they are really good and won six games this last week. You can see them on the 24th when they play Piute, last year’s champions, and Valley on the 26th. Cross country starts this week with the Richfield In vitational; I believe that most of their meets will be away. One thing that will be differ ent will be the region will be here. For as long as I can re member, the region has been on the golf course in Valley. They always had fried mut ton, which was great. The Lady Cats have three girls that are returning from last year's championship.

Commissioner Pollock said the sheriff would help Forest Ser vice patrol Wehrliit.said north of Blub ber Creek will likely be re opened soon and said most of the closed area is in Kane Coun ty, not Garfield. Commissioner Pollock suggested meeting with Kane County Commission and Forest personnel before the August 23 hunt. Wehrli said barriers are also up in some of the revegetated areas, hoping to prevent trampling as the area gets rehabbed. Public Works, Dave Dodds: Dodds said he, Chris Wehrli, and ATV Rally organiz er Joe Ormond identified areas for the ATV rally and did some trail cleanup. He also men tioned good results on federal funding that can be used toward chipsealing East Fork Road from the highway to Tropic Reservoir, a project that will take a year or so to complete. Dodds noted continued success in trapping prairie dogs off pri vate land and moving them to public land. Finally, Commis sioner Taylor asked Dodds to take a look at the need for a turn lane off Escalante Main Street to the county shed for trucks coming from the west; he’s got ten complaints.MissGarfield County 2022, Hope Peterson, and Miss Garfield Outstanding Teen, McKynlee Cottom, thanked the county for their support and each mentioned their respective social impact projects: develop ing social activities and ben eficial skills for teenagers and identifying ways to reduce ac cidents. Trinity Whitfield, who was Miss Bryce Canyon and a finalist in the the Miss Utah pageant, described the value of the pageant program both to the girls individually, as well as the community value of their social impact projects. Naketa Martel also read a statement supporting more funding, as well as more county publicity on the oppor tunities provided in the com petition. Commissioner Pol lock assured them of continued countyThesupport.Commission appoint ed Mike Stratton to Panguitch Lake Fire Special Service Dis trict Board, and then went into executive session for discussion on litigation.

Garfield County Fair dinner. All the Commissioners agreed to address this in the upcoming budget. They also agreed that the Triple C Arena needs a bet ter Cowboy of the Year display and would investigate costs. Commissioner Jerry Taylor thanked all the county employees and volunteers for their work on this year’s coun ty fair. He also reminded the public of the Garfield Memo rial Hospital fundraiser dinner. Commissioner Pollock announced that a First Re sponder bill is now making its way through Congress. The purpose of the bill is to pro vide funding for “emergency” ATV access throughout the Monument, as well as heli copter landing zones, start ing with Calf Creek. Funding would also go directly to first responders, enabling them to procure emergency equipment and vehicles. Pollock met with new Director of the Utah De partment of Natural Resources, Joel Ferry, in hopes of secur ing funds for the watershed projects. He also cited bea ver problems again, on North Creek outside Escalante. A trapper had been called out, but a forest service employee ap parently stopped him, without having jurisdiction to do so, said Pollock.Onthesubject of the For est Service, Powell District Ranger Chris Wehrli reported at length on current status on the Paunsaugunt, due to the af termath of the Left Fork Fire. The specific area in question is between Blubber Creek and Kanab Creek. He said the fire in that area has been declared “contained,” not “out.” Due to the severity of the burn,Wehrli noted road washouts from mon soon flooding, as well as danger of falling trees. Besides that, the duff layers below ground sur face continue to smolder and are still prone to re-ignition if dry or windy conditions reestablish. “It’s not a huge threat but still a threat,” he said. “It’ll probably take until the snow falls to de clare it out.” He said the Forest Service was planning a salvage sale on about 250 acres in that area, but they first need to figure out access. “It’s not our intent to keep the area closed off, just un til we have assurance it’s safe.” The Commissioners pushed back on Wehrli, citing the upcoming hunting season and people complaining about lack of access. Commissioner Pollock said “this is serious… people get once in a lifetime hunting permits.” Wehrli agreed but said they need to mitigate the risks. They don’t want people in situations where they can get hurt. He said if the roads are open, “we’ll see a lot of side-by-sides and 4-wheelers driving around the burn area.”

The naked-eye plan ets are pretty much where they’ve been all month, but you might look for one “mi nor planet.” More on it mo mentarily.First, Mercury is making a poor appearance in the eve ning sky. You might see it in twilight slightly to the left of where the sun just set. Mer cury is only about 10° high at the moment of sunset, so it’s a very challenging object. On the 28th, the ultra-thin cres cent moon is 9° straight to the right of Mercury, so look that night with binoculars or a telescope. Good luck! Saturn rises in the east as the sun sets in the west, and as the hours pass, it moves to the south, appearing due south and 1/3 of the way up the sky at 2 a.m. At 2 a.m., Jupiter is half way up the southeastern sky, where it outshines every star by at least several times. Ju piter rises roughly two hours before midnight, and it’s in Cetus.Mars follows Jupiter by about three hours, rising shortly after midnight. It too is brighter than any star and it’s distinctly orange, so you can’t miss it in the morning hours. Mars is just above the orange star Aldebaran, the eye of Tau rus, the Bull. Aldebaran is one of the brightest stars, but Mars outshines it by 2½ times. The earth is catching up to Mars as we orbit the sun faster on an inside track, and Mars will be closer and considerably brighter when we catch it in December. Note the difference in brightness between Mars and Aldebaran now, and then note the difference in Decem ber. Venus rises 80 minutes before the sun, but its great brilliance lets you see it in morning twilight, leading the sun as they both rise a bit north of due east. On the morning of the 25th, the thin crescent moon is 6° above Venus, and you can see them together in wide-angle binoculars. In the hours before sunrise, the win ter constellations Orion, Tau rus, Canis Major, Gemini, etc. are all prominent, giving you a preview of the evening sky you’ll see this coming winter. That minor planet al luded to is Vesta, which lies opposite the sun (at “opposi tion”) on the 23rd. Vesta is the third-largest of the thousands of asteroids that orbit between Mars and Jupiter, and it was discovered in 1807. It’s round with a diameter of only 300 miles—a sixth the diameter of our moon—and at a distance of 120 million miles—500 times the distance of the moon —it’s no surprise that you need at least binoculars to see it, and at 6th magnitude, it’s easily visible in any binoculars or telescope. You’ll find it in Aquarius 11° to the left of Sat urn. Heavens-Above.com and other websites can generate a finding chart. Vesta appears point-like (“asteroid” means “starlike”) in any telescope, but the Dawn spacecraft or bited it ten years ago, and we have marvelous photos of it from up close. Google “Vesta” for more information. John Mosley was Program Supervisor of the Griffith Ob servatory in Los Angeles for 27 years and is the author of “Star gazing for Beginners” and “Stargazing with Binoculars and Telescopes.” He and his wife live in St. George, where he continues to stargaze from his retirement home while serv ing on the advisory committee for Stellar Vista Observatory.

The idea of a chamber music benefit for CCAW seemed like a natural fit to Bradish, and members of the board liked the idea. “Chamber music is my passion because it is such an intimate experience with the artist and their instrument. So you can get up close and per sonal and really blend in with the experience which is so dif ferent from a symphony,” said Bradish.The Park City Chamber Music Society was established in 1984 after Leslie Harlow fell in love with Utah and decided to make it her home. Her experience participating in chamber music festivals in spired her to look for a com munity where she could de velop a new chamber music festival, and she founded the Deer Valley Chamber Music Festival.Leslie Harlow says that she and her husband, Russell, are excited about the perfor mance and are familiar with playing in the Capitol Reef area.“We actually made a trip down to Torrey and played at the field station. I teach at UVU, and we drove out to the field station and played for a student group, so when Nancy invited us to come down and play for the animal rescue, I said we’d love to do it,” said Harlow.Harlow says that they are especially delighted with the CCAW benefit idea because they have a history of adopt ing rescue dogs. “We’ve had five,” she said. For the event, the Harlows will be bringing along their current dog, Macie, a stump-tailed red healer. The August 30 event will begin at 6pm, and those 16 and over are invited to attend. Tickets are $20 (available at CCAW, on line and at the door of the event), and refreshments will be served. CCAW is locat ed at 1200 West Highway 24, in Torrey.

The new CCAW facility serves not only as a state-ofthe-art animal shelter but also provides a superb setting for community events to support CCAW’s work of helping lo cal animals.CCAW board member Nancy Bradish, who is orga nizing the event, is a former long-term resident of Park City, having moved to Tor rey within the past couple of years.“The reason I was in spired to bring Leslie and Russell down here is basically because of my love of cham ber music," said Bradish. “I know Leslie and Russell from Park City, and I used to vol unteer for their performances when I lived there and got to know them better and cher ish them as performers and people.”Bradish says that in turn, when she moved to Torrey, she started volunteering with CCAW, “Because my heart is with the animals. Animals are so loving, so non-judgement al, and they need our help.”
