Remembering World War I

ESCALANTE - Escalante, in co-operation with American Legion Post 114, raised the Official World War I Centennial Commission flag on Labor Day Monday September 7th. The $114.00 proceeds for this flag (and a second one for replacement as needed) came from the donations from several Post members and other concerned folks in the community. The commission, by resolution, has the American Legion’s support. Most proceeds from the flags will go towards the creation of a longawaited National World War I Memorial at Pershing Park in Washington, D.C.. Plans call for starting construction this winter, and a dedication sometime after Nov. 11, 2018.

There’s also 100 Cities/100 Memorials a project of the commission and the Pritzker Military Museum and Library to encourage restoration and maintenance of Work War I monuments nationwide.

The men and women who went to war 100 years ago founded the American Legion even before they left Europe. They wrote in their charter: “The sacred purpose

of the American Legion is to preserve the memories and incidents of their associations in the Great War.” There are no survivors of that war, the last veteran died 2011 at 110 years old.

He’d probably wanted us all to realize why his war was not popular in the American consciousness.

Indeed, remembrance was overshadowed by aviation advances, gangsters, prohibition, the roaring twenties, the Great Depression and of course, World War II, a mere twenty years later. It was seldom bolstered by television nor Hollywood and world movies as was the Second World War and the Vietnam War for example. Therefore, just as with all great human struggles, sacrifices and achievements, it is up to us, the sentient ancestors, to continually pass down recognition and knowledge of important events. Whether these be noble, foolhardy, with failed or successful conclusions, we may all be touched in a profound way. Perhaps in doing so, we learn/question WWI

Wayne County Racers Represent at the LoToJa Road Bike Race in Wyoming WAYNE COUNTY Magon Bowling, Clarissa Johnson, Tina Andersen, and Pam Peterson successfully represented Wayne County as Team CRC in the 35th annual LOTOJA road bike race on Saturday, September 9th.

LOTOJA was started in 1983 by cyclists David Bern and Jeff Keller, who wanted a race that resembled a one-day European classic. The race’s first year featured seven cyclists and ran from Logan to a finish line in Jackson’s Town Square. Since then, it’s grown into one of the nation’s premier amateur cycling events and attracts thousands of riders from the United States and beyond. To win or even place

in a LOTOJA category is a prestigious achievement.

This epic event consisting of about 1,000 participants started in Logan, Utah and raced through Preston, Montpelier, Afton, and Alpine, to finish at the Teton Village outside of Jackson, Wyoming for a total of 202 miles. The elevation of the event started out at 4500 feet and topped out at climbs of over 7500 feet.

Magon started the relay team off at 6:03am and raced the

first leg of 32 miles to Preston, Idaho. Clarissa took over and shattered two category 5 climbs, a grueling category 2, and a category 3 into Montpelier for a total of 46 miles. Tina raced the third leg of 47 miles which included category 5, 4, and 2 climbs. Tina passed off in Afton to Pam. Pam fought a strong headwind for 33 miles through Star Valley to Alpine.

Magon finished off the race to end back in Teton Village with another strong 47 miles.

Team CRC excelled with the pristine weather conditions and challenging route. They would like to thank their support through the event from Shane Bowling, Ted, TJ, and Hudson Peterson, and Scott Andersen. The relay team finished with a time of 10 hours 24 minutes and placed 8th out of 37 teams.

Wayne County is a great place for all of our athletes to grow and train.

ESCALANTE - For about three weeks South Central Communications has been working on the second phase of the city's fiber optic installation, which involves dropping new lines directly to homes and businesses. Last week drop crew members Porter Bowman (Kanab), Shane Howell (Panguitch) and Bret Hansen (Kanab) were working their way down 100 North cutting lines in to homes. Residents will receive a door hanger shortly before crews arrive, and the proposed drop route from the street to the home will be marked in white lines. The door hanger includes a phone number to call if you have concerns about the proposed route. Crews also say that you can catch them directly. "If you see us let us know if you have a buried line so we don't break it." South Central's crews have been very good about working around parked cars, but note that it does make it easier for them if you move vehicles away from areas where they are working.

Honesty is the fastest way to prevent a mistake from turning into a failure.

Another Tax Hike

Two years ago the Wayne County School District imposed a tax increase of more than 30% and asked voters to approve an additional levy that would have doubled that increase. The additional tax was voted down. Not willing to accept that decision, the District is requiring another vote on the failed tax hike.

The School Board wrote in the August 31st issue of this paper that more money is needed for academic programs and teachers’ salaries, at the same time praising the District for “providing a high-quality education,” which suggests current funding is adequate for the job. Adding to the seeming contradiction is the curious fact that the District was advertising in April of this year to hire a dance instructor. Presumably a dance program would not be funded if money for higher priority academics was insufficient.

According to the Board, student enrollment has declined by nearly 24% since 2009, resulting in a decrease in state funding for the District. A reasonable response to these changes would be to downsize, consolidate and reduce expenses, particularly as both demographics and high quality online home schooling programs are likely to continue reducing public school enrollment. The easy availability of information made possible through the internet also should be improving the schools’ academic programs while reducing their cost.

The Board is promising to offset much of the large increase of the voted levy by reducing the equally large increase it unilaterally imposed two years ago. Once the voted levy is approved and permanently locked in, will the Board again raise the tax it can impose without voter approval, thus achieving the more than 60% increase it wanted two years ago?

The Board argues that the proposed small “net” tax increase for county taxpayers will serve as leverage to obtain a substantially bigger cut of the take from taxpayers outside the county. To this open appeal to capitalize on the opportunity to exploit taxpayers statewide, which appears to be considered a selling point, the Board pointedly adds that “Wayne School District has one of the lowest ‘local tax efforts’ in the state,” implying that an inadequate effort is being made to increase taxes, and that since other districts are taxed at higher rates, ours should be too. Perhaps the Board is unaware that instead of addressing real need, these arguments express greed and envy. Please pardon my bluntness but I don’t know a more delicate way to approach the ethics involved in this matter.

Taxation is an unethical act of aggressive violence, being the forcible taking of private property. Regardless of rationalizations that the taking is for the greater good, taxation remains at its core a criminal act of extortion, and this nature persists even when the opportunity is granted to vote on a proposed tax increase. Whether a tax is imposed with or without the support of a majority of voters, there is always an unwilling segment of the population subjected to confiscation of their property under threat of harm.

Widespread embrace of this unethical practice has enabled it to grow steadily into a crushing economic burden. The government’s own Bureau of Labor Statistics admits that in 2016 federal, state and local income taxes took more of Americans’ income than they spent on food and clothing combined, and income taxes are just the easily visible tip of the taxation iceberg. Today up to 70% of the price of goods and services is attributable to taxes, fees, licensing, regulatory costs and other mandates imposed by government at each step of the production and delivery process and ultimately passed along to consumers, and this is before taxes are paid at the point of final sale, from income that has been reduced by payroll and property taxes. Evidence is abundant that we are nearing the proverbial straw that will break the camel’s back, as consumption by government is close to or has already exceeded the capacity of the productive private economy to support it. Each “small” tax increase adds to the cumulative burden. I wonder if advocates for higher taxes consider how many taxpayers are struggling to afford basic necessities because their income has been confiscated to provide others with luxuries like dance instruction.

The trend toward ever-increasing government domination of an economy always leads to collapse and chaos. A vote against any tax is a vote to return instead to a sustainable economy built on voluntary cooperation and individual freedom to choose how best to use the product of one’s own labor. A vote against the School District’s tax increase is a vote to let each person decide whether to give additional money to the public schools. Supporters can still contribute as much of their own resources as they wish and can afford, but they will avoid both enabling the further growth of a flawed economic system and being complicit in the very real crime of seizing their neighbors’ property.

A vote against this tax is a vote to put meaning back into the words “liberty and justice for all” recited in the schools in the Pledge of Allegiance; liberty and justice are incompatible with coercive taxation. Sadly, the Republic to which allegiance is pledged hasn’t existed for more than a century. That was a republic created not to impose the will of some on everyone else, but to defend the life, liberty and property of each individual against any, regardless of their numerical or political strength, who would steal them.

something about our individual selves and/or our country’s decisions. Consider, for example, that understanding the flawed Armistice of the Great War has living repercussions extending forward to all of today’s conflicts.

The U.S. suffered more casualties in the “Great War, to end all wars” than Korea and Vietnam combined. It took the Vietnam Conflict eight years to produce the fatalities of six months in the

First World War. The U.S. suffered 375,000 casualties, including 116,516 deaths.

Utahans sent some 21,000 of their sons and daughters to this carnage, with 10,000 volunteering and 11,000 drafted.

655 Utahans lost their lives, including 219 from battlefield wounds, 32 from accidents, and 414 from disease and other health-related issues, and another 864 were wounded.

Forty-three Utah servicemen received the Distinguished Service Cross of the Navy cross, the second highest military decoration for valor. Al-

most 5% of Utah’s 1917 population served!

This was at a time when some questioned the patriotism and loyalty of Utahans to the United States of America.

Utah’s contribution on the battlefield and on the home front was substantial, with almost $81 million in war bonds and donations to the American Red Cross recorded, averaging approximately $190 for every man, women and child living in Utah at the time. Utahans viewed their participation and support of the war effort as a means to help end the horrors

of war once and for all, and to demonstrate their fidelity and loyalty to the United States.

This article is presented in the spirit of State Resolution H.C.R. 2. Recognizing the United States and Utah’s participation in World War I. If you wish to learn much more about the War, DoughboyMIA’s, the centennial period and/or the official memorial being constructed in Washington, D.C.

SALT LAKE CITY A document obtained by a watchdog group suggests that the U.S. Department of the Interior could be taking orders from the oil and gas industry.

Jayson O'Neill, deputy director of the Western Values Project, says his group has filed a Freedom of Information Act request for correspondence between energy industry representatives and staff who worked on Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke's sage-grouse review.

O'Neill says a memo from the Western Energy Alliance bears a striking resemblance to the federal agency's plan of action.

"Secretary Zinke and the

review team took the recommendations of the oil and gas industry, pretty much universally, over other users - which include the hunting community, ranching community, our agricultural communities," O'Neill states.

The leaked memo maintains the current Greater SageGrouse Management Plan costs jobs and stunts economic growth.

But O'Neill says removing protections developed by states, federal agencies, scientists and private landowners could put the iconic bird at risk of being listed under the Endangered Species Act. He says that would cause even greater economic disruptions.

The Interior Department did not respond to a request for comment before deadline.

O'Neill says Zinke also has been adding oil-and-gas insiders to key Interior Department positions.

According to his group's profiles of 63 political appointees, most are former lobbyists or have industry connections, and he says only four have experience in conservation.

"And when we're put in a situation where our federal government and our largest land managing agency is con-

trolled by private industry, we lose the opportunity to have input in how our lands - as public land owners - are managed," O'Neill stresses.

He points to a side-byside comparison of the leaked memo and the Interior Department's recommendations, which O'Neill contends confirms the agency ignored the pleas of several western governors and other stakeholders to maintain the current sagegrouse plan.

Groups to Oppose BLM Leases Near Dinosaur National Monument

Courtesy nationaL Park serviCe

Oil and gas production on one parcel of public land opened by the BLM for drilling would be visible from the visitor center at Dinosaur National Monument.

SALT LAKE CITY Conservation groups say they'll challenge the Bureau of Land Management's plan to offer 75 leases for oil and gas development on some 100,000 acres of publicly owned land near Dinosaur National Monument and in the San Rafael Swell.

Nada Culver, senior director for agency policy for The Wilderness Society, said the decision continues what her group sees as a disturbing trend of turning over public lands to the fossil-fuel industry without considering the effects on landscapes she called "irreplaceable."

"Everyone - from the National Park Service, local residents, the governor of Utah, conservation groups like The Wilderness Society all raised concerns that many of these lands are not appropriate for leasing," she said.

Opening these areas to air and water pollution also threatens the local outdoor recreation economy, Culver said.

The BLM move makes good on the Trump administration's promises to remove restrictions believed to slow energy production and cost jobs. However, Culver said, oil and gas companies are only producing on 40 percent of nearly 3 million acres of public lands in Utah already under lease.

Landon Newell, staff attorney for the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, said oil wells on one parcel that could be opened for drilling would be visible from the Dinosaur Quarry visitor center. He said he believes the BLM's decision to open up the San Rafael Swell in central Utah dismisses the region's unique values, "which is an area of rich cultural density, and archeological and cultural value.

"There's a lot of rock art, there's structures, there's evidence of thousands of years

of habitation in this area," he said, "and that has all been put at risk."

Newell said his group and others will file an administrative protest with the BLM's Utah director before

the agency's competitive oil and gas lease sale. The sale currently is scheduled for the week of Dec. 11.

Your first conversation with an attorney. Attorneys are people too and can, with a little prodding, have a kind and friendly conversation at the neighborhood party.

However, when they have a conversation with a potential client or client, the tone can change from a friendly conversation about your garden to asking direct, possibly uncomfortable questions about the problem at hand.

Whether the conversation is in the office, your home, or at the county jail, here are a few things to consider: Your attorney advocates for you, but only if you tell them the whole story.

Attorneys ask prodding, sometimes awkward questions, in an effort to understand the complete situation their client is experiencing.

The attorney can do their job and advocate better for you if they know about your prior run-ins with the law, your financial situation, or sensitive issues about the problem being discussed.

You also need to be honest with your attorney so they can strategize in your best interest. This is only possible if the attorney understands what the other side of the case may use against you.

Client-attorney relationships are two-way streets where the attorney can only do the best they can with

Page 3

by Megan Mustoe the information available.

And you, the client, are one of their best resources for information.

Attorneys have zipped lips. Attorneys cannot share any identifying information about your case to other people. This means that what you say to your attorney is not shared with anyone outside of the attorney’s office.

Only you, the client, can break this confidentiality standard by telling other people about your attorneyclient conversations. However, every attorney will recommend you do not share their conversations as it might ruin your case strategy.

Even if the attorney does not decide to represent you, they keep your conversations confidential.

The attorney may decide to not represent you.

During or after your first conversation with your potential attorney, you may decide you would like to consult another attorney before agreeing to representation.

Likewise, the attorney may decide they would not like to represent you due a variety of factors: conflicts

of interest, personality, or specialty.

If an attorney has represented the opposing party with a similar or the same matter, the attorney most likely cannot represent you.

Like your doctor, hairdresser, or other service provider, you and your attorney need to have a compatible, working relationship. The attorney may not have “clicked” with you and decline your case. Just like picking a dentist, there is an attorney and client for every client and attorney.

Lastly, the attorney may not have the special skills required for your issue and thinks another attorney in the region or state could better serve you. Attorneys work and interact with each other all of the time and have an extensive network of legal friends. These legal friends have a spectrum of specialties and will most likely be able to help with you.

Volleyball, Crosscountry and Baseball!

The Panguitch Volleyball team had a great week. They had their first away game last week on the 6th against the Valley Buffaloes. Even though the Buffaloes gave them a hard game, the ladies were able to win the first three sets, giving them the win. The scores for the sets were 25-13, 25-21, and 25-19. The Bobcats were on fire with their hitting in that game. With a kill percent of 43.2%, they ranked up 38 kills. Taylia Norris had a total of 11 kills while Karlee Eyre and Jordan Bennett both had 9 total kills. The teams serving was also pretty good with a serving percent at 83.6%.

With a total of 12 aces, McCall Tebbs and Taylia Norris both had 3 aces a piece. This week, the girls have a home game against the Water Canyon Wildcats on Wednesday the 13th. They then travel to Piute on Friday the 15th to go head to head once again against the

T-Birds. They played Piute on the 30th of August on home turf and was able to take the win. We will have to see how this game goes.

On the 2nd of September, the Cross Country team traveled to the Utah County Invite.

With only 3 girls and 3 boys competing at that meet, they did pretty well. Taylia Norris took 2nd of 200 runners and Porter Schoppe was 17th out of 275 runners. Last week the team only had one meet and it was right here in Panguitch on Thursday the 7th. The total amount of kids that ran was 73. We had 16 boys and 21 girls from Panguitch run. Both teams did extremely well.

"It's necessary to have strong standards in place in order to protect the leadership position of the United States," she states. "It's not going to be able to compete in this new world if it's falling behind on fuel efficiency and new technologies."

President Donald Trump has said the changes would support jobs in the auto industry.

Advocates point out that 288,000 Americans are currently employed building technologies that reduce pollution from cars and trucks - and estimate that as many as 50,000 could lose those jobs by 2030 if standards are rolled back.

More than 300,000 people already have weighed in on the proposed rollbacks, in support of the standards. —Eric Galatas, Utah News Connection

t H e Can'tdidate

It was shortly before the election. Reporters seemed to be having trouble getting one candidate to give straight answers to questions. Finally they cornered him and demanded a straight response to any question, not necessarily even a political question.

One reporter asked, "What is your favorite color? You can give us a straight answer to that, can't you?"

The candidate said, "Certainly. My favorite color is plaid!"

Safety

Sal, a pilot for a major airline, carries his running clothes in a backpack, freeing his hands for his luggage. On one trip, he told me, he noticed people grinning at him in the terminal. Sal smiled back.

Maybe some of them were on my last flight, he thought.

His ego was brimming until he got to the cockpit and stowed his bags.

That's when he saw the "Parachute" sign his co-workers had stuck to his backpack.

Struggling to manage parenthood and a full-time job, my wife finally reached her breaking point, "Sweetie," I consoled her, "you're a great mom, a great wife and a great teacher. You can't expect to be great at all three, all the time." I was proud of how understanding I'd been, until she replied, "Okay, I won't be a great wife."

Because my tenth grade math class had difficulty solving an algebra problem, I went to the blackboard to demonstrate how it was done. The solution required many steps, but finally we arrived at the answer: X = 0.

My partner and I pulled our police cruiser up behind a car stopped on the shoulder of the highway. We got out and asked the driver if we could help.

No, he replied, there was no trouble; he had just stopped to look at a map.

When we turned back, we noticed that his German shepherd had jumped in the open passenger-side front window of our car.

"You may think there's no trouble," I smiled, "but your dog obviously thinks he's done something wrong. He's in our patrol car."

He laughed. "He probably thinks you've come to take him to work," he replied. "He's a retired police dog."

O bituaries Charles Smith Francisco

TROPIC - Charles Smith Francisco, 92, passed away on September 8th, 2017 in Panguitch, Utah, peacefully in his sleep.

Charles was born on January 29th, 1925 to Charles Edward and Elizabeth Viola Smith Francisco.

He married his sweetheart, EvaDean Reeves on December 23rd, 1948 in Fredonia, AZ. Their marriage was later solemnized in the St. George, Utah Temple on March 26, 1960.

Charles, known as Charlie to most, lived his entire life in Garfield County, Utah. He was born and raised in Henrieville and Pahreah, Utah with 3 brothers and 5 sisters. He loved living near so many cousins and enjoyed spending time with them.

Charlie was a hard working man his entire life. As young man, he worked in road construction, the timber fields, and sheep shearing. Later, he moved his family to Tropic, where he ran a dairy and farm while also working for the Utah Department of Transportation. Charlie worked for UDOT until retirement, but retirement did not slow him down. He continued to do the things he loved, which included driving a tour bus, being a tour guide, and being a trail ride wrangler throughout Bryce Canyon National Park. Later in life, Charlie and EvaDean also ran a Bed and Breakfast, which allowed them to meet people from all around the world. He was a great and talented storyteller and he would entertain guests with his quick wit and lively stories as he showed off the land that he loved. They say you can’t teach old dogs new tricks, but Charlie proved that to be wrong. While running the Bed and Breakfast, Charlie learned to be 5 star maid making beds and cleaning rooms.

Charlie was a true outdoorsman and loved fishing, riding horses, and hunting with his dogs. He loved these activities even more when he was able to bring his grandchildren along and teach them the ropes of being a cowboy. Charlie was a dedicated member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He served in many callings, but the calling he loved the most was being a Scout Master. Charlie was also a dedicated temple worker and loved going to the St. George Temple with his sweetheart. Charlie loved his children. His three daughters were the light of his life.

He taught them how to work hard, how to stand up for themselves, and how give back.

He is survived by his eternal companion of 68 years, EvaDean Francisco and two daughters, Helena (Lloyd) Mortensen and Sandrea Francisco, son in law Sharon Griffin, sister Berthene Griffin, sister in laws Lillis Francisco, Sharon Francisco, Fae Wiser, Phyllis Webster, brother in law Golden (Cynthia) Reeves, and grandchildren; John (Lynn) Mortensen, Donald (Suzanne) Mortensen, Charles (Jené) Mortensen, William Mortensen, Shad (Melissa) Griffin, Sheri Ann (Justin) Springer, Shane Griffin, 11 great grandchildren, and 15 great great grandchildren.

He is preceded in death by two of his children, son Charles Kay Francisco and daughter Robyn Ann Griffin, parents, and siblings; Varis Thompson, George Dell Francisco, Roma Clark, Lola Gibson, LaDean Alvey, Dexter Francisco, and Bill Francisco.

Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, September 12th at 12:00 noon at the Tropic Utah LDS Church. Viewing will be from 9-11:30 AM with services following. Interment will take place in the Henrieville, Utah Cemetery.

The family would like to thank the many people that provided great care and support to Charlie including the Garfield County EMS, Garfield Memorial Hospital staff, nurses, and doctors, and Home Health Care staff.

Arrangements are under the care of Hughes Mortuary of St. George and Cedar City, Utah. (435)674-5000. Please visit www.hughesmortuary.com for complete obituary listings and to leave condolences.

Cindy Judd

September 14, 2017

By Way of Boulder

by Peg Smith ~ pegenias@gmail.com

1952 - 2017 PANGUITCH/GUNNISSON - Our beloved mother, wife, grandmother, and sister, Lucinda Ruth Tebbs Judd, passed peacefully at her home in Gunnison, UT surrounded by her family on September 8, 2017. Lucinda "Cindy" was the youngest daughter of Daniel Asay Tebbs and Nedra Henrie of Panguitch, Utah. She was born on June 27, 1952. Cindy married her sweetheart, Robert Vaughn Judd of Kanab, Utah in the St. George LDS Temple on June 18, 1971 after a brief courtship where he was able to successfully sweep her off her feet.

Cindy was an angel of love and was loved deeply by all who knew her. She had the ability to show loving kindness for all those who were fortunate enough to cross her path. As a mother, her patience and support knew no bounds. As a grandmother, her individualized care, love of games and crafts, and sincere connection with each child made her irreplaceable. As a wife, her dedication, tenderness, and perseverance never ceased.

As a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Cindy served in many roles including her cherished missionary calling to the Philippines and as a Manti Temple worker. Her favorite callings were in the Primary. No matter who the audience was, Cindy would spend time to make each person feel heard and understood. She preached the gospel with passion and was committed to the idea that we are all holding on to some part of the same elephant. Cindy would say, "Preach the gospel at all times, and sometimes use words." Cindy cherished the relationships of everyone she met. She helped love abound in every place she visited.

Cindy was a talented seamstress and had a creative mindset.

Her art was functional and very impressive. Wedding dresses, baptism dresses, blessing dresses, ornaments and more adorn all her family’s homes as evidence of her loving talent that she readily shared with everyone. She was an avid learner and continued to educate herself on a wide variety of topics throughout her life.

She survived breast cancer more than twice as long as the doctors predicted; a testament to her determined, fighter’s spirit. If Cindy was to leave us with anything, it might be the words from a song she wrote: "Give of yourself and you will live, a life that’s full then you will know love, joy, and happiness will follow. The test is not just how we live, but also comes in how we give."

Cindy is survived by her husband, Robert; her children: Cristy (Brian) Rowley, David (Tiffani) Judd, Jed (Jennifer) Judd, Malynda (Lee) Bjerregaard, Bradley (Alicia) Judd, Andrea (Jonathan) Nuckles, and Samuel (Kaela) Judd; her 26.5 grandchildren; sisters: Veda Hale, Janice (Michael) Gottfredson, and Joyce (Kent) Miller; brothers: Daniel (Karen) Tebbs and V. Louis (Laura) Tebbs, Preceded in death by her parents. She will be deeply missed.

Funeral services will be held on Friday, September 15, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. in the Gunnison, Utah Stake Center. Friends may call At the stake center in Gunnison Thursday from 6:008:00 p.m. and Friday from 8:30-9:30 a.m. Internment will be in the Panguitch, Utah Cemetery at 3:00 p.m. Funeral Directors: Magleby Mortuary, Richfield, Salina and Manti.

Long exposure night shot of Ibex Well by Meg Nielson of Salt Lake City.

The politics of Light and Dark. No, I’m not going there.

This is really about lighting. It’s an odd subject to draw so much emotion, but it does. In a rural area, even a few lights stand out. These standouts have their admirers and their detractors and few in between. Some lights are familiar beacons assuring one’s safe arrival home from travels.

Those same lights might glare a half-mile away straight into a bedroom, and create nightly crankiness and indigestion.

Living as we do on the fringe of the (still) Monument, most of us prize our worldclass, “dark sky” nights. A recent study within the Monument found its interior to be “as dark as it’s possible to measure.” For urban visitors, or those of urban past, the nearly nightly display of the Milky Way, the newfound interest in nameable constellations, the plethora of unnamed stars, the shooting stars and strange moving objects --- these are sights otherwise unknown and unseen. Interest isn’t all in the sky, either. Most days of the month, natural ambient night lighting is something to which your eyes acclimate. Full moon hikes or even jaunts to the garden reveal a wonderworld of silvery leaves and ostentatious Datura and shadows, Moonshadows! One of the images burned happily into my memory is a full moon meander across slickrock, for miles. An unwelcome, unnecessary flash of a human light

would have blinded me.

In the everyday world of most of us, though, when we venture out at night, it’s often to complete a discrete task, whether it’s to tend an animal, to find the water shutoff, to simply get from here to there.

Our eyes don’t adjust; we need a light. We may not need an entire yard light. But we need something additional, just at that moment.

Lights make us feel safe.

Strange, because that little beam from a headlamp or glow from a porch also tends to highlight all the dark space that’s outside the light. Any movie watcher knows that it’s the guy who lights his cigarette or flicks on his cellphone that gets shot at night by the bad guys. And we’ve all experienced bright, glaring lights that effectively blind us momentarily, or constrict our night vision entirely. (Those hyper bright car headlights should be illegal. Blinding the oncoming driver doesn’t seem like an effective safety enhancement.)

Boulder does not have a lighting ordinance, as such.

But it has long included a section within its Zoning Ordinance that requires site lighting on new construction to have shields or shrouds directing light downward and to minimize light trespass beyond the owner’s property. It’s a simple and common-sense accommodation to providing desired lighting for one’s property and maintaining an increasingly precious resource: our beautiful, starry nights.

NOTE: Boulder Town is currently welcoming (taxdeductible) contributions towards a Boulder/Garkane program to replace Boulder landowners’ aging and noncompliant outdoor lighting with shielded, LED lighting.

This is a voluntary and optional program. It will also achieve a uniformity of lighting and fixtures, as discussed for several months in town meetings. For more information, please contact town clerk, Judi Davis.

Bryce Valley area NeWs

by Vicki D. Syrett 679-8687 orvickidiane36@hotmail.com Garrett Brown, the son of Craig &Tina Brown continues to make them proud.

He was inducted in to the National Honor Society. He has some big goals and works so hard to reach them. Between early morning drivers ed, his classes throughout the school day, and sports practices after school, he is gone from the house from 5:45am to after 6:00pm every day.

Sometimes they sure miss him! But, are happy that he works hard to get where he wants to be. Garrett worked this summer helping clean cabins with his grandmother in Tropic, Toni Foster, and learned many things while enjoying the experience. The family lives in Cedar City.

Randel and Dianna Leslie are so excited to give the news that their very first grandchild has arrived. Remi Collete Leslie was welcomed into the world by her parents Trenton and Codi Leslie. She is adorable and her other grandparents Tawn & Cami Mangum are so happy to have the baby girl arrive safely. Great Grandpa Raymond was delighted to be able to hold the new little girl and see how cute she was. Great Grandparents in Tropic are Raymond & Ronnie Brinkerhoff, and Pete & Keela Mangum.

We send our deepest sympathies to the family of Charlie Francisco. What a fun and knowledgeable man he was. He will be missed so much. Charlie was such a great person and he loved everyone. He could tell you such wonderful stories and always had a smile for you.

Charlie and Art were Home Teaching Companions for years and Arthur just loved him. Eva Dean and Sandrea we want you to know your are in our hearts and prayers at this time. What special folks you are. He is now able to share his stories with those in Heaven and they will love hearing them. Charlie is now feeling good and can move around again. We love you Charlie Francisco and thank you for your friendship and brotherhood.

Watching the news on television about the hurricanes Harvey and Irma is very unsettling. Those people are really getting a lot of rain and wind damage. The newscasters say that it will be days and weeks before the electricity and water are back to working condition.

Many are displaced from their homes permanently because they were damaged so badly. It is amazing to see the people who have come from all over the USA to help out in both cases and are doing it so willingly. With all the troubles going on in the world it is a wonderful thing to see the people who are giving of their time, money, and whatever it takes to complete the tasks at hand. You can't help but think of the missionaries from our very own Bryce Valley Area who are in these locations. We have two young men in the Florida area at Ft. Lauderdale and Tampa. In Georgia we have two young ladies in Macon Georgia and in Mexico where the big earthquake of 8.2 took place we have one young lady missionary. Not to mention some of us have relatives in these locations.

My brother and his wife live in Titusville Florida and are

being affected by the weather.

I have been unable to contact them so I am choosing to think they are safe. Their daughter and her family live in Cocoa Beach. If you have someone you are worried about we send our prayers out to them and wish for a safe result. Another hurricane is right behind Irma and we hope it spins out before it hits land. The earthquake has taken so many lives in Mexico. 90 at the last news report today. Our prayers and thoughts go out to the people affected in all places and hope for the best. On top of this now we have N. Korea on our minds. The terrible dictator there has lost his mind, if he had one, so we hope things will go well there because we are reachable by him.

Hope you have a safe week and we wish you all a very happy September. Please send in your news to me or call if you need. I am going to retire from doing this column come the first of the year so if you know of someone who can take over the news for the three towns and BCC please let me know. Thanks for your support and comments. VS

tion through the collection of films chosen by art festival organizers and volunteers.

This event will be free to the community through sponsorships by Glen Canyon NHA, the Boulder Arts Council, Grand Staircase-Escalante Partners, and the Escalante High School. This event provides a welcome stage for collaboration between organizations supporting the arts and those who support public lands. For partnering organizations, this opportunity provides the perfect balance between education, awareness and appreciation of public lands through art and storytelling.

The Wild & Scenic Film Festival was started in 2003 by the South Yuba River Citizens League (SYRCL), a nonprofit river conservation organization located in Nevada City, CA in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The organization was formed in 1983 when a small group of concerned citizens banded together to fight against several pro-

September 14, 2017 posed dams. The festival’s namesake is in celebration of achieving Wild & Scenic status on 39 miles of the South Yuba River in 1999. The flagship festival kicks off each January in Nevada City, CA with 100+ films, art, music, activist workshops, and more. Once the curtain closes in Nevada City, SYRCL shares their success with other organizations by taking the film festival On Tour to

150+ communities worldwide. The tour is building a grassroots network of organizations connected by a common goal of using film to inspire activism.
