Fire Restrictions Rescinded in Central Utah
CENTRAL UTAH - Due to recent precipitation and improved wildfire danger conditions, Central Utah Interagency Fire Managers removed all fire restrictions beginning Friday, August 27, 2021, at 00:01 a.m. on all federally administered public lands, state lands, and unincorporated private lands in Juab, Millard, Beaver, Sanpete, Sevier, Piute, Wayne, and Garfield counties. Important Reminders: Fire managers continue to urge caution as wildfire danger constantly changes. This time of year produces cooler nights and very warm, dry, and windy days. Please be responsible while enjoying your outdoor activities, as the potential for human-caused wildfires still exist. Fire managers also advise you to make “fire sense” decisions and refrain from campfires on dry and windy days. And remember that it is always illegal to leave a campFire Restrictions Cont'd on page 2

BOULDER - The September 2021 Planning Commission meeting began with Town Planner Lee Nellis discussing residential growth. As commercial development has recently been addressed in a series of amendments, the next step is to look more closely about residential growth, he stated. Nellis estimated the number of additional residential lots that could exist in Boulder, based on the five-acre lot minimum, as well as pre-existing subdivisions that haven’t been developed, and existing non-conforming lots. The estimate yields a potential of 450 new residential lots. He also found that about 90% of these would be on parcels that are at least partially irrigated. This would have a very large impact on the agricultural character of the town. No geological studies have yet been conducted to assess available groundwater. Nellis ended his review by suggesting that an analysis be conducted to determine available groundwater and septic capacity. Planning commissioners were asked to weigh in on what they thought of a Boulder with 450 new homes. A first commissioner stat-

Appeal of Art: Artists put a little bit of their spirits into
each of the pieces they do, and that’s what people respond to. The beauty of art and the appeal of it is that it involves the viewer. —Gunther Haidenthaller

at the same time. Born in Austria, his family moved to Sandy, Utah when he was six years old, after his mother had converted to the LDS church. Austria was still recovering from World War II, and one of the missionaries had convinced his parents that life would be better in the U.S. “Dad had a sense of adventure which he passed on to me. With a couple of suitcases, he left everything behind.” Whether inherited or due to his own nature, Haidenthaller indeed has a sense of adventure. Besides painting, favorite activities include sky diving, rock and ice climbing, mountaineering and motorcycles. For years, he worked as a professional Major League Soccer referee. “I guess you could say adrenalin is my drug of choice,” said Haidenthaller. Is there adrenalin involved in painting? “Yes. Oh, yes. Maybe not adrenalin, but it’s a rush when it’s coming together. It feels good,” said Haidenthaller. Remarkably, and related to his taste for adrenalin, Haidenthaller is recovering from a motorcycle accident that happened just this summer on July 19. A car collided with his 1995 Honda 750 Nighthawk, resulting in a broken right wrist—his drawing wrist—which now has a steel plate in it. His natural artistic talent led to his professional career in advertising design, illustration and marketing, leading
to the eventual portfolio pored over by his wife. “Working as a designer, I got to do illustrations. But I was kind of a hack. I kind of had that impression of myself as an artist, yet I found it was very satisfying.” His self-effacement as an artist belies an innate ability he’s had since he was very young. “Always I’ve scribbled and sketched. It got me in trouble. In math class I would end up drawing all over my math assignments.” Describing his evolution as an artist, Haidenthaller says, “I don’t know if I’ve gotten any better. But…the ability to visualize, draw it, draft it out makes all the difference. I’m painting values, lights and darks and how they fit together.” “The goal for me is communicating. If I don’t make that mark right, I can’t communicate. It’s a constant process, you’re always learning. The day I feel like I know everything, that's when it’s time to hang it up.” At one point, while still working in ink, he starts to scribble. “It’s time to scribble. I’m getting too tight. When I’m scribbling here, I’m not supposed to forget what color goes
where.” Haidenthaller says that the whole time he’s working in pen, he’s thinking about color. Eventually, working his way into the crayons, he said, “There’s one little rule of thumb that it’s good to remember especially when you’re establishing the values. As things get farther away, the darks get lighter and the lights get darker, so the values tend to be less and less contrasty. The closer you are, the more the reds and the yellows come through, and those make it look closer,” said Haidenthaller. He goes on to describe the qualities of atmosphere, nitrogen and oxygen (blues). Star clouds in the universe and aspects of hydrogen (reds). All the while drawing and filling in color. “Look, there’s another sky hole,” he said, describing how the sky in the spaces between leaves appear darker. “Artists put a little bit of their spirits into each of the pieces they do, and that’s what people respond to. The beauty of art and the appeal of it is that it involves the viewer,” said Haidenthaller. —Insider

24 years old, became mayor in 1974. “I was so grateful for Judi; she definitely trained me,” he continued. All of the mayors present, Steve Cox, Julie Lyman, and Bill Muse, as well as John Meisenbach, spoke about how Judi had trained them and how much they had depended on her. Gladys LeFevre, who has been a Town Council member for decades herself, stated that “Judi has always been the constant. Town Council members and mayors have come and gone, but Judi has always been there.” The program continued with a presentation of gifts. Town Clerk Michala Alldredge, who works along-
side Judi, presented her with a plaque. Boulder Tree City offered Judi their services, to plant a tree or shrub of her choice at the Davis’ house. The Boulder Arts Council gifted her a bouquet and spoke of their gratitude for all she has done to make events in Boulder possible over the years. Judi’s husband, Larry Davis, rose and spoke of his pride for his wife and joked about how nice it is when he actually gets some time with her. “There’s times when she shows up, and I say, okay there she is, it’s been awhile,” he said, making light of her huge time commitment and care for the town and those who live here. And, lastly, Judi herself rose. “We were all in this together,” she began. “I may
have fooled you, but I didn’t know any more than you did.” She spoke about what it was like when she first took the position as clerk, just out of college, relatively new to town, with a baby, and knowing little about government. “I’ve loved it,” she said, “I’ve loved working with all of you, and that’s the reason I’ve done it.” Cake was then cut, and those in attendance were able to thank her directly, as well as to sign a book for her, recording their memories and their thanks. Noted again and again throughout the celebration were Judi’s integrity and dedication, her openness and honesty, and her availability to those who have needed her help, exponentially above and beyond what could be expected.

Lady Cats Volleyball win against North Sevier, Bobcats baseball win against Diamond Ranch, and three Panguitch girls are in top ten at cross country meet
The Bobcats had another very good week, and the Lady Cats started off the week with an exciting game against North Sevier that went five games. The first game, the Cats easily won, 25 to 13, and the Cats missed five serves. However, the ladies continued their poor serving, and North Sevier kept getting closer, with the second game being 26 to 24. However, North Sevier won the next two games because of the Cats poor serving. In the fifth game, the ladies remembered who they were and won the game, 15 to 9, and all the fans were able to breathe a little easier. This team is one of the best we have had. They don’t have any height, but they have 3 or 4 that can kill the ball. What makes them so good is that their passing is great, and
that is where all points start. The Cats had little problems with Diamond Ranch, taking them out in three games. This week, the Cats had two home games on the 14th against Canyon View, and the games were early by a half hour. Then the next day, Milford was here, and, as usual, they were loaded. The following week, on the 23rd, Beaver will be here, and it should be a really good game. The Bobcats baseball team is continuing to roll with easy wins over Diamond Ranch, and then, Bryce Valley was here. I hear that the new score board is up and working. On the 15th, the Cats travel up to Piute for a game. The Thunderbirds are the Cats' main competition, so if you have the time, go up
for the game. On the 17th, Valley will be here, and that should be a good game. The cross country meet was here, and there was a record number of boys running in their event. The middle school meet was first, and I think that both of our teams came in first. In the Varsity races, I believe, that both the boys and girls races were won by Bryce Valley. The Lady Cats were only one point behind the Mustangs, and our girls are getting better with each meet. We had three of our girls in the top ten. Adelaide Englestead took 1st, Tabitha Henrie took 2nd and DJ Henrie took 9th. Carter Yardley took 3rd in the boy’s event. The Cats will have a meet on the 16th up at Piute.
Madison Bentley of Lyman, Utah Earned the Achievement of Academic Excellence from Weber State University
OGDEN - Madison Bentley of Lyman, Utah earned the honor of Academic Excellence from Weber State University. More than 800 students received the honor of Academic Excellence in the summer, signifying they maintained a GPA of at least 3.5. Of those 800, approximately 280 students earned the distinction of High Academic Excellence for maintaining a 4.0 GPA. The achievement of earning Academic Excellence is difficult under normal circumstances but was made especially challenging with the added pressure of handling the mental and emotional impact of a global pandemic, political unrest and an unusual
learning environment. Less face-to-face instruction and interaction, as well as limited engagement with peers, meant students had to demonstrate their grit and determination to maintain their high academic standards. Additionally, many students maintained exceptional
academic standards while also managing jobs, extracurricular activities, families and household responsibilities. Visit weber.edu/wsutoday for more news about Weber State University. —Weber State University

Wills, Trusts, and More
The Insider
Holographic Wills A holographic will is a will that is written entirely in your own handwriting. No witnesses are required, and no portion of the will may be typed. If you type some or all of the words, or you incorporate other markings or other documents into the text, you could inadvertently invalidate the will. The idea behind holographic wills is that since the entire document is in a person's handwriting, there is no need for witnesses to sign it to establish its validity. Holographic wills don't need to be notarized either, but they do need to be signed. Most lawyers would tell you it's a bad idea to write your own will because you can easily create ambiguities and other defects that can lead to litigation following your death. This is especially true in second marriage situations when one or both spouses have children from prior marriages or relationships. If you decide to write your own will, you should be sure to say in the introductory sentence that it is your will, and that you are revoking all prior wills. If you don't revoke all prior wills, your handwrit-
by Jeffery J. McKenna ten will, and any other wills that have not been revoked, will be looked at together to determine who inherits your estate. As you may expect, problems arise when the various documents conflict. Be sure to identify each bequest clearly and to give away all of your property. A frequent problem with handwritten wills is that they list some accounts and properties, but then leave out others. Property that you don't mention in your will passes to your heirs as determined by the courts. Your heirs may not be the same persons named in your will, and may not be the ones you would have chosen to receive the assets. Also, going to court and figuring out who your heirs are can be an expensive and time-consuming matter. In addition, courts will require two witnesses who are familiar with your handwriting to testify that the will was, in fact, written by you. It's often the case that handwritten wills don't name a personal representative. Failure to name a personal representative could result in an administration of your estate that is fully court-supervised, expensive, and lengthy. Another important provi-

When you don't request a waiver, the judge can require that your personal representative post a bond. Sometimes, it's not possible to even get a bond, and if your personal representative can get one, it is generally expensive. There are a number of other provisions that should be included in wills that the average person would almost certainly leave out of a holographic will. As a final thought, a judge once stated, “Homemade apple pie is almost always better than one purchased. But, this is rarely the case with a homemade will.” Good estate planning is expensive. However, it is often much less expensive in the long run, than trying to create your own documents.
t H e Everyone is a Critic
At a recent family gathering, we borrowed a karaoke machine, and my daughter asked her 90-year-old grandmother what song she'd like to hear. Her choice was “Unforgettable” by Nat “King” Cole. Three of us decided to give it a try. Afterwards, my daughter wrapped her arms around her grandmother and said sweetly said, “We sang that because we love you.” “And I listened because I love you!” was her grandmother's wry reply.
Last Will
The other day I went to see my attorney and told him, "I would like to make a will, and I need your assistance because I'm not quite sure how to go about it." He replied, "That's okay, Mr. Mariotti. Leave everything to me." I was confused and said, "I shall be happy to pay your fees, but I was actually thinking of leaving everything to my wife." I think I heard him muttering "moron" under his breath, and decided to change lawyer. This one is greedy and offensive.

Fred and Jeannette Laird are delighted to announce the marriage of their daughter
Angie Rae to
Riley J. Cook
Son of Kerry and Paige Cook Please Join Them for a Celebration
Friday, Sept. 17, 2021
6:30 - 8:30 p.m. Wayne County Community Center 605 South 350 East Bicknell, Utah If you did not receive an invitation, it was an oversight. Please, consider yourself invited. Angie graduated from Beaver High School in 2018. She attended Snow College in Ephraim and then SunRock Dental Careers, graduating with a certificate in Dental Assisting. The bride is currently working at the Wayne Community Health Center in the Dental Office. She is the granddaughter of Fred and Thelma Laird of Alamo, NV and the late Theras Jenkins and Lucille Jenkins of Star Valley, WY. Riley graduated from Wayne High School in 2016. He served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from August 2016 to July 2018 in the Pennsylvania Pittsburgh Mission. The groom attended Snow College in Ephraim and is currently working on the family farm. He is the grandson of Jerry and Esther Blackburn of Loa, UT and the late Don Cook and Donna Cook of Torrey, UT. The couple will reside in Fremont, UT.
Over 70 cars were on display at this year's Cruisin' Old Car Show in Panguitch, which took place on September 10 -11. Another great week in paradise! Pat and I deliver meals to a home up on the Lake road, and as you leave to come back to town, you have this great view of our valley. The rain has really greened things up, and there are pretty yellow flowers that really add to the beauty of this peaceful land. Many of the farms have their hay baled, up and that adds to the view. The dedication of the Sanford Fort went really well, with the speaker from the Sons of the Utah Pioneers giving some history of the fort. Also speaking was the President of the State Organization of the DUP. There were quite a few folks in attendance, and all of the seats filled up. It was a grand event, and if you weren’t there, stop someday when you are heading north and check both of the markers. Saturday was the car show, and there were over seventy cars on display. Like everything that goes on in
Panguitch, it was a first class event. I have been to a lot of car shows, but I like ours the best because they have things going on all day long, from pickle eating and root beer guzzling contests, to great live music. There were a lot of prizes for the cars that were entered. I won one for my Model A pickup, and Pats 350 Z took 2nd. Many thanks to all of you that voted my Model A as their favorite. With so many great cars there, I am a little bit embarrassed by this award, but thank you anyway. I will cherish it. One car that really caught my attention is owned by Paul Dodge from Escalante. It is a 27 Model T. It is beautifully restored, inside and out. The Dodges drove their car from Escalante, at 30 miles an hour, to the show. With these old cars, I wonder how many of them are still around, especially with having to run on dirt roads in their day. Many thanks to Rick and
Linda Miller and their committee for putting on such a fun event. I hope to have at least one more truck for next year’s event. Alsom thanks to the many sponsors that are really needed for an event like this. My neighbors also have some real great cars that need to be in the show. I will bug them to have them there. Saturday was 9/11, and there were memorial tributes all over the country for the 20th anniversary of this terrible event. President George Bush spoke in Pennsylvania and warned the country of the terrorists that are here that are even worse than the Taliban. To make things even worse, there was the attack on the Congress building on 1-6-21 in an attempt to overthrow our government. These same terrorists are holding a protest parade in Washington D.C. to protest the arrests of over six hundred of their people. We all have a right to peaceful protest, but the government is not taking any chances. They are thinking about putting the steel fence back up, and they have cancelled all leaves of the police force in the area. What ever happened to the party of Abraham Lincoln and the moral majority? I haven’t heard that saying in over four years. The COVID-19 cases of the Delta variant have increased so fast that the president has had to step in. The cases a month ago were around 10,000 a day, and now, they are up to 150,000, with 1,500 deaths per day. Mostly, those that have not been vaccinated are the ones going to the hospital and dying. How
fast is this virus spreading? Well, in South Dakota, they have seen a 456 percent increase in COVID cases in the three weeks since the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. The state reported 3,656 active cases on Aug. 25. The governor said that this is the price the state had to pay to bring so much money into their state. An unvaccinated elementary school teacher in Marin County, Calif. infected half the students in her class of 24 after she briefly took her mask off to read them a story. Most of the students that were infected were in the first two rows, and many of them spread the virus to their family members. Every two days, more people die from the virus than the military did in Afghanistan in twenty years. In two days, more people died from the virus than died in the Twin Towers. Worldwide, there are 220,201,831 confirmed cases of the virus. There have been 4,560,045 confirmed deaths worldwide. In the U.S., there have been over 40 million confirmed cases of the virus and 650,000 deaths. All of these are needless. How bad is it going: the ex-president, at one of his rallies, told those that were there that they needed to get their shots, and he was booed. In Florida, they have rented fourteen portable morgues. T hey had 1,700 deaths last week, and the local funeral homes can’t keep up. Florida Gov. DeSantis has banned mask usage in the FYI Panguitch Cont'd on page 7
Boulder Planning: Commissioner and public input on residential growth, including a possibility of 450 new homes in Boulder, and a CUP application regarding a burger wagon on the property of Hills and Hollows discussed. Both were scrutinized and public concerns regarding septic issues were brought forth for both items. Boulder Planning Cont'd from page 1
ed that because the water supply will determine the capacity for residential lots, this information must be gathered. Another asked if Nellis had spoken to Boulder Farmstead Water, which he had not. He added that right now under Utah law, there are minimal restrictions on drilling wells, and no one is required to hook onto the Farmstead Water company and can opt to instead dig a well. Another commissioner brought up concerns around septic systems and how they could impact groundwater. Nellis stated that the state will usually help with funding an analysis. He asked what commissioners think should be done before an analysis can be conducted. The Town could, for ex-
ample, decide to put a moratorium on subdividing lots or could change the zoning density until a groundwater assessment can be made. Changing the zoning density could include increasing the 5-acre minimum lot size for irrigated land, while allowing more flexibility for non-irrigated parcels. This could help protect agriculture, though owners of those lots would likely have mixed reactions. There could be allowances for transfer of building rights to non-irrigated lands, which could help those owners. Mayor Steve Cox then stated that he has already been in touch with Jones and DeMille, an engineering company, to conduct a septic and hydraulic study. The estimated cost is $30,000, and there also may be grants available. The commissioners were asked to come up with questions, and then Jones and Demille engineers could be tasked to focus on finding answers. A concern was voiced by a member of the Town Council about limiting property development on agricultural lands. They also asked for more flexibility in regards to housing in general, as well as guest ranches and RV parks, in part to help supplement agricultural income. Discussion on possible amendments to the Subdivision Ordinance followed. The definitions, as currently written, deduct a lot’s easement from the total lot acreage size, which, Nellis stated, is uncommon. Nellis rewrote the definition, which would make it so that easements do not take away from total acreage. A public hearing will be held on this next month. A public hearing was then held for a CUP application for a burger wagon on the same
property as Hills and Hollows. Shawn Owen was present to respond and answer questions. Town Clerk Michala Alldredge stated that the application is complete, and the floor was opened to the public for any questions. A neighbor of the property voiced concerns about the vicinity of the septic system to his well, which, according to the Utah Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), cannot be within a 200 foot radius. The public hearing followed. A different neighbor commented that the north driveway access shown on the CUP application map is actually on their property, and there currently is no official easement. Though he has allowed that road to be used, he wants the official lack of an easement to be noted. They also asked that the parking spots on their property be removed from the map. Owen agreed and thanked them for bringing these issues up. Concerns about the septic system were brought up by multiple parties. The existing systems were never officially approved. The attached letter from the Health Department stated that the system has not been overloaded so far, but refused to take responsibility for any issues because they had not done an original inspection. A comment was made that several repairs have been done over the years on the septic system, but according to code, any repairs are supposed to be engineered, permitted and inspected. They stated that neither the Health Department or DEQ are willing to uphold these regulations, and asked that the town instead uphold them. Additions to the property, including restrooms, showers and an apartment were
cited. Owen stated that there are two septic systems currently in use on the property, and there is a plan in place for a third if needed. He stated that he has weighed out the possibilities for upgrading the septic. If they did add another, he would ensure that it would be up to code. He also stated that the septic systems are out of range of the neighbor’s well. A commissioner stated that nothing is being added on the property, they are just asking for a CUP for the food truck. The public hearing was closed. It was clarified that the food truck is a separate entity from Hills and Hollows, and would be a business under the guise of Balancing Rock LLC. Commissioner Haylee Apperson recused herself from voting, as there is a possibility that Magnolia’s would be running the food truck were it to go through. A motion was made to approve the food truck CUP. No one seconded. Another commissioner made a motion to approve the CUP, with conditions set about the septic system. This motion was passed. At the final public comment period, one member of the public stated that they want to support businesses but also asked that there be consistency on nonconforming structures and septic systems. They stated that the town should have a system in place when confronting legacy infrastructure that was never approved. Another member of the public commented on Nellis’ estimated residential growth of 450 houses, and asked how the town, when making decisions about growth limitation factors, could incorporate potential development outside of town lines, as development in these nearby areas would also impact groundwater levels and septic tank capacity even though they are not under the town’s jurisdiction. The Boulder Planning Commission meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month at 7 p.m.

schools, and 20,000 Florida kids under 12 tested positive for COVID last week. 75% of the country has had at least one shot and 53% have had both shots. The 20% who refuse to get the shots are really complaining about the president's mandate on the vaccine, and the politicians jump to defend them to keep their jobs. The last president did nothing other than call it the flu, and said it would be over by April when it warmed up. Meanwhile, 400,000 people died needlessly. Can you imagine if now was the time in history when we would be fighting, polio, chicken pox, whooping cough, smallpox or many of the diseases that have plagued the world, and these hate groups and anti-vaxxers
were around? Two commercial planes flew out of Kabul’s airport last week, with Americans and Europeans on them. Shortly, there will be regular flights out of there, and any American that wants to can get out safely. Summer is coming to an end, and it has been a strange one, weather-wise, with record heat and wind and, thankfully, the monsoons came back. But, we live in a paradise, where there is plenty to do, if you will take the time to take part. This week, I got a card saying that my license plate fees were due. I don’t think that the DMV made a very wise choice in not sending out the cards. I don’t think that the police were going to do their job for them. Mack O.

In September, the moon rises each night only 25 minutes later than the night before. Autumn begins on Wednesday, September 22nd, precisely at 1:20 p.m. MDT. That’s the moment when the sun, in it’s apparent annual motion around the sky (the reflection of the earth’s motion around the sun), crosses the sky’s celestial equator. The celestial equator is the projection of the earth’s equator into space; during the summer, the sun is north of it and during the winter, south, and when it crosses the equator is the equinox. “Equinox” comes from Latin for “equal night” because on the equinox the nights are equal in length to the days. Following the autumn equinox, the nights are longer than the days, as we well know, until the spring equinox. The cause of our seasons is the earth’s axial tilt of 23½°; if the earth weren’t tilted, the sun’s path across the sky would be the same each day, and we’d have no
seasons. The seasons are reversed in the Southern Hemisphere. As the sun becomes lower in our northern sky, it becomes higher in theirs, as you would expect. The equinox is also when the rate of change of the time of sunset (and sunrise) from one day to the next is at its greatest. The full moon closest to the equinox is the Harvest Moon, and this year, that falls on September 20th. Because the path the moon takes around the earth intersects the horizon at a shallow angle in the fall, the full moon rises at a similar time for several nights in a row, rather than much later each succeeding night, and its bright light helps farmers work their fields later in the evening; hence, its name. An understandable explanation of seasons and the Harvest Moon is in the Old
Farmer’s Almanac (Google it). Every planet has seasons, and their lengths depends on their distance from the sun and the time it takes them to complete one orbit (their year). Neptune is tilted 28°, and its seasons each last over 40 years. In contrast, Mercury is tilted only 2° and has no meaningful seasons. The planets are pretty much where they were last week. Brilliant Venus is low in the west for the hour and a half after sunset. Jupiter and Saturn are in the south; Jupiter is the brighter of the two, and Saturn is to the right of Jupiter. Mercury and Mars are too close to the sun to see. John Mosley was Program Supervisor of the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles for 27 years and is the author of “Stargazing 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 serving on the advisory committee for Stellar Vista Observatory.
