Sisters on the Fly Enjoy an Outing at Bryce

Sisters on the Fly is an outdoor adventure group for women. The group—founded in 1999—has grown to over twelve thousand members from around the country who plan trips and activities together. During a recent Sisters on the Fly event during the last week of September, the group started off with a trip to Ebenezer’s Barn and Grill to see the Bryce Canyon Wranglers.

I enjoy painting occasion ally in other media, but my skill with watercolor is my strongest. Mostly, I am a purist using trans parent watercolors in the classic sense. Very few tricks, gimmicks or spe cial effects interest me. I find the beauty of a clear glowing wash simply fas cinating. It is also very hard to do, especially in the dry climates of Idaho and the Mountain West.

BLM Seeks Nominations for Monument Advisory Committee

KANAB - The Bureau of Land Management seeks nominations for the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Advisory Com mittee to fill existing and up coming vacancies. The citi zen-based committee makes recommendations to the BLM that address public land man agement issues, such as the development and implemen tation of resource manage ment plans to help protect, re store and enhance objects and values within the Monument. The advisory committee is formally chartered under the Federal Advisory Commit tee Act and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976.

“Monument Advisory Committees serve an im portant role in the Bureau’s collaborative approach to monument management by providing the BLM with vi tal feedback on current is sues, concerns and proposals and enable us to engage local communities and stakehold ers to improve management of public lands,” said Paria River District Manager Harry Barber. “Our goal is to ensure our committee membership encompasses a wide variety of perspectives and back grounds to guide our work as effectively as possible.”

Individuals may nomi nate themselves or others to serve on the advisory com mittees. Nominees will be reviewed based on their train

ing, education and knowledge of the geographical area. Nom inees should also demonstrate a commitment to building con sensus and to a collaborative decision-making process. All nominations from represented interests or organizations must include a completed applica tion, letters of reference and other information that speak to the nominee’s qualifications.

This year, Grand Stair case-Escalante National Mon ument is seeking nominations for an elected official from Garfield County; an elected official from Kane County; a representative associated with outfitter and guide operations within the Monument; a live stock grazing permittee oper ating within the Monument; and representatives with ex pertise in two of the following scientific disciplines: archae ology; history/social science; botany/wildlife; or systems ecology.

More information about the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Advisory Committee is available on the website. As published in a notice in the Federal Register, the BLM will consider nomi nations submitted for 30 days until Nov. 4, 2022.

L etters to the Editor LaVoy is Correct

When Garkane leadership states that the (PSC) Public Service Commission “ruled” anything, it’s just not true. They can’t. The PSC conclud ed Garkane is CURRENTLY following HB266 (the law they lobbied for that initiated La Voy's concern).

When LaVoy initially in quired to the PSC about the legality of the statute, he asked if “they” were the proper en tity to address his concern. They said yes, but read on...

Multiple ads and letters by Garkane leadership side step LaVoy’s authentic con cern. (THE TRUTH - AD) and also the Board President William Hammons re-iteration in his letter to the editor are examples.

These are an attempt to direct the attention of readers to one point and yet conceal another. They omit something critical of mention.

The PSC only “issued a statement” that Garkane did not violate any law, regu lation, or tariff…OVER WHICH THE Public Service Commission “has jurisdic tion.”

The omission continues

and reads: Unquestionably, the PSC is not vested with authority to review the consti tutionality of legislative acts. (Meaning HB266) The Com plaint is dismissed.

Therefore, the Complaint by LaVoy, that HB266 was dismissed with no “ruling,” and not because Garkane was right about “the real” topic.

In the legislative world, laws occasionally contradict each other. When state and federal laws conflict, the Su preme Court is the place for fi nal legal “ruling.” Such is this case at hand.

Called Pre-Emptive, un der the Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution, which “states” that Federal law takes precedence over state law. Judges are bound by Constitu tional laws.

The UNCLAIMED por tion of capital credits is the is sue. It will need to be resolved in a higher court. Keep going, LaVoy!

YCC Program Works with Recreational Staff to Complete Projects on Richfield Ranger District

RICHFIELD RANGER DISTRICT - The Youth Conserva tion Corps had quite a packed summer on the Richfield Ranger District. They worked with our recreation staff learning to clear and build trails; worked with our range personnel to monitor weed conditions on the range; worked with our wildlife profes sionals to build a guzzler; worked with our timber staff to tag and count trees; and worked with hydrology and aquatics staff.

"Along with fisheries seasonals, Jazzy Brenner and Paul Stafford, the YCC kids assisted us in electrofishing Shingle Creek," said Fisheries Biologist, Jens Swenson. "We did a fish population survey to gain information on how the fish are doing in that stream." The crew shocked, netted, weighed, measured and released the fish. They also assisted in measuring stream habitat and got hands on fisheries experience.

"Since 2010, this is the first year we’ve had a YCC crew on the District," said Richfield District Ranger Jason Kling. "This year, we hired five high school students between the ages of 15 and 18. All five have an interest in natural resources manage ment post high school. The YCC program is a great opportunity to gain exposure and experience in natural resources manage ment. With this experience, they now have a better understand ing and idea of what field of study each student may want to pursue in college."

"The Youth Conservation Corps provides a potential oppor tunity for candidates that would not be 18-years-old by the time they want to work for us in the summer," said Administrative Of ficer Wess Freeborn. "This way they can gain experience while they are still in school."

Frank McEntire, an En

trada Institute board member and the chair of its Writing from the Land Workshop, says, “We’re excited to in troduce Bill Harley to Wayne County audiences. This all-ag es performance will be enter taining and inspiring. It prom ises to be a great kick-off for the workshop.”

country who plan trips and activities together—which still includes fly fishing but has expanded to include many other interests.

Tracy Jarvis, a resident of Santaquin, is a Sisters on the Fly member and orga nized the local event. “In Bryce this past week, we had women from eighteen states, and from as far away as Flori da and West Virginia, Califor nia and Oregon,” said Jarvis. About 65 women joined the trip.

The event started with an evening at Ebenezer’s Barn and Grill to see the Bryce Canyon Wranglers dinner show. “They always love that,” said Jarvis. Over the following two days, women signed up for different activi ties: ATV rides, eBike rides, horseback riding, art classes and craft activities. In the evenings, everyone gathered back together for dinner.

Sisters on the Fly typi cally spend two to four days together during an event. Many arrive in vintage camp ers (kind of a Sisters on the Fly “thing”)—although some have fancier rigs—and others fly in and rent cabins.

Jarvis, who says she has a “weekend property” on Pine Lake, has organized other Sis ters on the Fly events in the area. Last year, she hosted a trail ride at The Pines, with about fifteen ladies, and the year before that, she organized a fly fishing event on Thou sand Lakes.

Jarvis says that Sisters

on the Fly are known for their vintage trailers and for travel ing to events throughout the country, and added that, “an important aspect is a lot of the members are widowed or re tired and it provides them an outlet to travel in safety with others with similar life sto ries.” Membership to Sisters on the Fly is a requirement to attend events, which adds a layer of security for the wom en involved.

“We’re focused on wom en’s empowerment and learn ing new things. Just sister power,” said Jarvis.

PHS Sports Sidelines

by Mack Oetting

The Bobcat Baseball team again made it to the fi nals for the third year in a row. They played Piute for the championship last Sat urday, and once again, the team came up a little short. I believe the score was 7 to 2. The Cats had a great year and had beaten Piute twice before.

Second place against all of the teams in 1A is great. Way to go, Bobcats! We are proud of you.

The Lady Cats had an exceptional tournament, and they were one of only two 1A teams that were there. They finished the first round against 2 and 3A with a three and one record, only losing in five to Emery. Most tournaments are

three games long, but this one was the best three out of five, and they ran behind on the time. Richfield was the only undefeated team, and they played Emery for 1st place.

The Cats played Rich for 5th & 6th place. It most likely was a preview of the 1A State Championships.

The first game was tied at 23, but the Rebels managed to squeak out two points and take the first game. The sec ond game was more of the same, with both teams close all the way, but Rich won 25 to 22. The last game was Rich all the way, but what an exciting tournament with some really great playing.

The Cats got a great look at

the team they will probably meet again before the year is over. The girls have two more games out at Escalante on Wednesday, and mighty Richfield will be here on Thursday for the Cats' last game. It will be their last game, and it will be senior night. If you want great en tertainment, you need to be there.

The cross country sea son is nearly over also, and next week Regionals will be here on October 18th—that is a Tuesday—and the meet will start at 4:00. This will be the biggie, with many of the runners playing other sports; this will have all the teams out in full force.

Money Tips for Students What Students Need to Know About Interest Rates When Borrowing

UTAH - College stu dents who rent an apartment or house, should consider purchasing renters insurance, according to KHEAA. This insurance provides coverage if their belongings get stolen, burned in a fire or destroyed by a natural disaster.

Their parents’ homeown ers insurance may cover any losses experienced by students who live in a dorm, but this won’t be the case for students renting a house or apartment. Students should check with their insurance agent to make sure they know what’s covered and what the deductible is if

by Tim Ballard

they file a claim.

Some colleges offer dorm insurance as part of their en rollment package. Such poli cies often have a low monthly cost and a small deductible, unlike many homeowners policies.

When buying renters insurance, students should consider replacement versus actual cash value. Replace ment means they’ll get a new version of the same item; ac tual cash value will give them an amount based on the item’s used value.

KHEAA a public, nonprofit agency established in

1966 to improve students’ ac cess to college. It provides in formation about financial aid and financial literacy at no cost to students and parents.

KHEAA also helps col leges manage their student loan default rates and verify information submitted on the FAFSA. For more infor mation about those services, visit kheaa.com.

In addition, KHEAA dis burses private Advantage Ed ucation Loans on behalf of its sister agency, KHESLC. For more information, visit ad vantageeducationloan.com.

Wills, Trusts, and More

Second Marriages and Estate Planning

Love knows no bounds. Many couples have experi enced the extent and truth of this common saying.

Often, older couples have to cope with adult chil dren who cannot understand why mom or dad wants to remarry. By updating one’s estate plan, many concerns related to the marriage can be minimized.

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

The best way to ensure that one’s assets are available for a surviving spouse, but ul timately distributed to one’s children from a prior mar riage, is through the use of a trust. The trust can be created within a will (this is called a testamentary trust) or it can be created within a living trust (this is a trust created while one is alive).

Significantly, the trust

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

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

Often, a given state’s law will provide that a surviving spouse can “elect against the will.” This means that a sur viving spouse is entitled to a spousal share as specified by statute despite the fact that the will may provide differently.

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

Its a Small World After All

My two-year cousin scared us one summer by dis appearing during our lakeside vacation. More than a dozen relatives searched the forest and shoreline, and everyone was relieved when we found Matthew playing calmly in the woods.

"Listen to me, Matthew," his mother said sharply. "From now on when you want to go someplace, you tell Mommy first, okay?"

Matthew thought about that for a moment and said, "Okay. Disney World."

Admission

I once admitted a lady in her eighties. In going over her admission health profile, I was asking her questions to clarify the boxes she had checked. I got to the box where she had checked "Emotional Prob lems" and asked her to clarify what she had wrong.

She just sighed and shrugged her shoulders. "I have had seven children. If that isn't enough to make someone nuts, I don't know what is."

I think my grandson best summed up my feelings about abstract art.

Max Sevy

PANGUITCH - Max L Sevy, born January 5, 1938, of Panguitch, UT, passed away peacefully on Octo ber 6, 2022 at the age of 84. He leaves behind an array of fishing lures, very few empty Pepsi bottles,and more Chica go Bears paraphernalia than we can shake a stick at.

He is preceded by many who will welcome him with warmth and love: sis wife Loa; his daughter Becky; his parents, Peter Ray Sevy and Inez Mayal Lister Sevy; his brothers: James, Pat, Ira, Ken, Wil liam, and Lewis; his sisters: Freda, Elva, Bonnie, and Alta; and his son-in-law John Embleton. Those he is survived by and who will sorely miss him include: his brother Ted; his sisters: Peggy and Ruth; his children: Robert Max Sevy, Caroline Sevy Emble ton (John Embleton), Jan Sevy Crowell (Jeff Crowell), Eric Reed Sevy (Bambi), and William Carl Sevy (Alisha); his 12 grand children and eight great-grandchildren–and of course the numer ous individuals who called him and his late wife "Grandpa and Grandma," who were not related by blood but by love.

Max married his sweetie, Loa Smith from Henrieville UT, in Pioche, NV on January 7, 1960. This marriage was solemnized in the Oakland, California Temple on October 28, 1972. She pre ceded him in death on January 4, 2013.

He touched the lives of many others through his work in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Some of his callings within the church include: being a member of the stake Seventies Quorum, a ward mission leader, and a stake High Counselor. He served as counselor to three different bishops and was a bishop himself for eight years. He was also a branch president and tem ple worker. But of all these, he often said his favorite calling was that of the LDS 12-Step Addiction Recovery Counselor. He said his lifestyle before his activity in the church helped him under stand and serve those in the program.

In 1993, Max retired as a cadastral surveyor for the Bureau of Land Management in the US Department of Interior. Max started work for the BLM as a seasonal worker, but through hard work, correspondence courses, and self education, he became an expert in his field. After retiring and vowing never to go back to work, he became a ranch hand. Then a garbage man. Then a hotel concierge at Ruby’s Inn. And, eventually, the general manager of the Bryce Canyon Grand Hotel. It may surprise you, but Max Sevy was never known for sitting still. Max was also a lifelong fisherman, cribbage player, and devoted Chicago Bears fan.

The family would like to thank the staff at Stonehenge Nurs ing and Rehabilitation Center for the loving care they gave Max in his last few months.

Friends and loved ones are welcome to attend the funeral services for Max on Saturday, October 15, 2022 at 12:00 Noon in the Panguitch 2nd Ward Chapel, 178 N 400 E, Panguitch UT, 84759, where visitation will be from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. Follow ing the services, internment will be at Panguitch City Cemetery. Funeral Directors: Magleby Mortuary, Richfield, Salina and Manti. Live streaming of the services and online guestbook can be found at www.maglebymortuary.com below Max’s obituary.

In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made in memoriam to the missionary fund of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which can be found at https://philanthro pies.churchofjesuschrist.org/missionary.

There’s gold in them there hills; our colors are changing very quickly, and it isn’t even cold. Most of the trees are lacking water, so if you want to see the colors this year, don’t put it off too long. Most of us would like to have a long fall, with warm weather, and we could be in for just that. It does look like many of the farmers are getting a third cut on their hay. I don’t know if that has happened before, but that is one benefit from the warm cli mate.

We haven’t had any cases of COVID for over a month now. However, the flu season is just around the corner. With the COVID and all the things that came with it—distancing and masks—the last two flu seasons have also been down.

Australia—coming off their winter—had the worst flu sea son that they have had in the last five years. Australia is a good gauge to what our season will be like.

sets rose by 46,000 last year to a record of 218,200. Mark Zuckerberg's, the owner of Meta (formerly Facebook), net worth has fallen by over $70 billion in the past year. At less than $50 billion, he only ranks 20th among global bil lionaires, which is his lowest since 2014. That just breaks my heart!

You might want to fill up your tanks because OPEC is cutting us back by another two million barrels of oil a day. That, along with the other three million barrels that the last president asked them to bring down, will create more inflation. It really shouldn’t affect Utah because they have plenty of oil here and enough refineries to ship gas out of state, but it will. The gas price in southern Utah on the average is $4.39; however, in Richfield, it is only $4.02 a gallon.

It is time now to go about finding all the damage that Hurricane Ian did to Florida. Over two thousand needed to be rescued and around 120 died; 54 of them drowned. One good note is that a town that was powered by solar systems did not have any loss of power, and the solar panels suffered only minor damage. President Biden went to see all of the damage and was met by the governor. (He didn’t throw any paper towels.) The damage is extensive and is going to take years to bring it back. With all of the losses to the cars in the area, it should be good news for the auto makers. Congress voted to put more than 50 bil lion more into FEMA to help

As you get older, you need to slow down and watch where you are walk ing. For the shingles, you can get a shot to prevent them at the drugstore.

Deaths that have been caused by breast cancer are down 48% from 2000 to 2021. Modern medicine and early detection has brought the prob lems way down. Currently, there are 18 million cancer sur vivors in our country, and that number is expected to go to 44 million by 2040.

It used to be a big deal if you had million dollars in as sets, but not any more. The number of people in the world with at least $50 million in as

With the job market's lat est report and with 290,000 new jobs, 3.50% unemploy ment, and a growing economy, it will keep leading to more in flation. The Feds will increase interest rates again, which will increase inflation even more.

The bad thing about the interest rate hikes is that it is the interest we have to pay on the National Debt. Infla tion is a double edged sword. Pick your poison: inflation or depression. Depression usu ally goes to the lowest people in the workforce. We had the great recession, with nearly 12% of the people out of work in 2008, and 6% were out of work just last year. Eleven million jobs have been created in the last 19 months, and 20 million who had lost their jobs because of COVID are back to work.

You must expect great things of yourself before you can do them.

Cedar City Hospital Annual Fall Health Fair Partners with Health Department for Flu Vaccine, Brings Community Together

CEDAR CITY - Just as the leaves change like clockwork, you can count on Intermountain Cedar City Hospital hosting the annual Health Fair. The community event was held on Saturday, September 22, 2022, at Cedar City Hospital.

The annual Health Fair brings together hospital care givers with the community to offer resources, learn impor tant health information and get vital screenings.

“The health fair was awe some,” says Angie York, first grade teacher at Iron Springs Elementary. “I was able to get many screenings done, like a hearing screening I’ve needed for a while now, and learn about topics I’d wanted to ask about, and also get my flu shot, all in one.” She also says as a schoolteacher, she was grateful for the resources at the Health Fair. “I really worry about what some of our students are exposed to, even innocently, like illegal drugs.

I was able to visit with Jordan at the Intermountain Commu nity Health booth, who gave me a free naloxone kit and taught me how to administer it if it was ever needed. It was extremely helpful. I visited almost every single booth at the health fair, and at each one learned or gained something. I really enjoyed the event.”

The Southwest Health Department conducts their fall Flu Shoot Out at the event and was able to administer over 125 flu vaccines. There were 1,410 booth visits, and for those who obtained health screenings, 153 were referred for followup care. Booths included emergency preparedness, "Ask a Doctor," domestic violence prevention and support, home health services, suicide pre vention, vision screenings, Iron County Prevention Co alition, national Daisy nursing award, federally-qualified low income clinic Family Health care, the Simply Birth suite, information on 3D mammo

grams, Family Support Center, cancer prevention and sup port, the adult independence services through RRCI, hand washing game and informa tion, information on RESEP/ Downwinders, Needs Beyond Medicine, Five County aging services, Intermountain nutri tion services, information on the new Intermountain Diabe tes Clinic opening soon, hear ing screenings, infusion servic es, blood pressure and blood oxygen testing, lung function testing called spirometry, and information about precision genomics and the HerediGene DNA mapping study.

The Utah Food Bank also provided free food bags at the event and indicated that it was one of the most suc cessful southern Utah events they’ve been a part of, as they gave away a bag of food each to over 100 families—which is estimated to feed over 350 people in need, including chil dren.

Starfest

have opened new portals of experience on both the milky way and the cosmos to thou sands of others. And finally, William Briggs was called out for his extraordinary vol unteer work over the past four years in CRNP and surround ing communities, as he has engaged countless visitors to the area in exploring the night skies, most of whom won’t see it again with such clarity after they return home. He is truly inspiring a new genera tion of astronomers through his efforts here with us.

The most exciting mo ment of this year’s activi ties—which took place in CRNP and Torrey, Utah, from September 23 - 24, 2022—revolved around an announcement by Gary Pan kow, co-chair of the Heri tage Starfest and Monitoring Team Lead. Pankow told the crowd during his presentation that, “The trending numbers for light pollution show a

consistent improvement over the previous three years. Edu cational outreach with local citizens has truly made a dif ference on both the residential and commercial sides. Let’s keep it up!”

Barb Walkush was again a master hostess for the final night’s star gazing and moni toring efforts. “Each year, we bring back a crew of experi enced folks who want to en gage others in understanding how the monitoring meters work, why we have selected long term sights to monitor and the reporting requirements which are part of maintaining Torrey Town’s Night Skies designation. This year we had several new people join in,” said Walkush.

“You’ll want to get your family involved next year in our spring and fall events, so watch for future announce ments.

I will be working to create a new youth workshop in 2023 to engage fellow stu dents in,” said Canyon Daley, Heritage Starfest Youth Am bassador.

Marci Milligan, president of the Entrada Institute, closed out the festivities by thank ing CRNP Superintendent Sue Fritzke and Park staff for their partnership, as well as the many other annual Heritage Starfest planning commit tee members, speakers Steve Dudrow and Kate Magargal and volunteers for creating inspiring lectures, bringing telescopes to share each eve ning, and for exploring the night skies with guests in both CRNP and at the Entrada In stitute this year. “Local resi dents and businesses make this Utah’s best night sky area to live and recreate in,” Milligan said.

If you’d like to be part of their future plans or make a donation in support of the 2023 Heritage Starfest, the so lar educational installation in the Teasdale Park and/or the future observatory to be built in Torrey, send them a note at: info@entradainstitute.org or www.entradainstitute.org/ give.

Utah Cutthroat Slam Reaches 1,000

Announces New Medallions

SALT LAKE CITY - The 1,000th completion of the Utah Cutthroat Slam took place on Sept. 12, 2022, marking a huge milestone for the fishing chal lenge that helps fund conserva tion efforts for native cutthroat trout in Utah.

Launched by the Utah Di vision of Wildlife Resources and Trout Unlimited in April 2016, the slam is a fishing chal lenge that requires participants to catch Utah’s four native cut throat trout subspecies in their native ranges. The $20 registra tion fee goes toward conserva tion projects that will benefit the native species.

“There was a time when there were few cutthroat trout populations in the state,” DWR Sportfish Coordinator Randy Oplinger said. “We have done a ton of restoration work to bring cutthroat back, and they are now a true conservation success story in Utah. The Utah Cutthroat Slam helps fund projects that continue our restoration of cutthroat trout.”

As of Sept. 19, here’s a breakdown of noteworthy sta tistics from the program:

• Over $78,000 has been raised for cutthroat trout res toration since the program began.

22 conservation projects

have been completed using the proceeds generated from slam registration fees.

100 anglers completed the slam more than once.

16 is the most times one in dividual has completed the slam.

• Residents from 48 states have registered for the slam.

To celebrate the 1,000 slams that have been complet ed, the DWR and Trout Un limited will be releasing four new cutthroat medallions in the coming years. The medallions are sent along with a certificate after anglers successfully com plete the challenge.

The new medallions, starting with a Colorado River cutthroat trout, will replace the original medallion created when the slam was launched on April 1, 2016, at the Wasatch Fly Fishing and Fly Tying Expo. Medallions representing each of the other three species (Bonneville, Bear River and Yellowstone cutthroat) will be created when other milestones are reached. Utah artist Tim Johnson was selected to pro vide the artwork for all four medallions. A limited number of the original medallions are still available, but they will not be reordered.

“We are thrilled to have

reached this milestone and to have contributed so much to conservation efforts in Utah,” said Brett Prettyman with Utah Trout Unlimited. “But the real magic of the slam is the stories we hear from an glers about spending time with family and friends in pur suit of the fish to complete the slam. The memories they have created are helping fund the cutthroat fishing memories of the coming generations.”

Terrance Cook, of South Jordan, was the 1,000th per son to complete the Utah Cut throat Slam.

“When I was young, my dad took me fly fishing often but I never really became in terested in it until a recent trip with family and friends to try and catch the Yellowstone cutthroat,” Cook said. “I was hooked on the slam after that trip. I’ve learned so much about cutthroat trout identifi cation, habitat conservation and had a lot of fun visiting new places. My thanks to the DWR and Trout Unlimited for creating this program. I’ll be doing it again for sure.”

Jupiter is interesting be cause it changes so quickly, but Saturn is prettier—be cause of the rings. The planet itself is a small ball with only one cloud band visible to even excellent telescopes, but the rings are special. As detailed in a Sky Report two weeks ago, this year, the rings are tilted only 14° to our line-ofsight, but they’re still a strik ing sight.

• The Wellness Center needs some new supplies and equipment, e.g., stor age shelving for the gym. A concrete pad was poured for the new ice rink, and there were some finishing issues. They are currently addressing the issues. The next step is to hook up the chiller, which should ar rive in the coming weeks. The current goal for open ing the rink is mid-No vember.

The next council meet ing will take place on Octo ber 20, 2022.

Bryce Canyon City Town Council meetings take place the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month.

The highlight of this week is a modest meteor shower which peaks on the morning of the 21st. These meteors are debris shed by Comet Halley as the sun heats the frozen dirty iceball that is the comet, thaws it, and lib erates dust particles mixed in with its ice. It’s called the Orionid Shower because the meteors radiate from the di rection of Orion, which rises before midnight but is high est in the predawn hours. The best time to watch is after midnight on the morning of the 21st and the morning be fore and after. Expect to see 10 to 20 meteors per hour. Although they radiate from a point NE of Betelgeuse, they’ll appear all over the sky. Because we meet these particles nearly head-on, they hit our atmosphere at 150,000 miles per hour, which is as fast as meteors can be.

When you do see an Ori onid meteor, you’re seeing a particle that for millennia has traveled with Comet Halley around the sun and across our sky and is now destroyed in its brief fiery passage through our atmosphere.

Comet Halley is present

ly in the constellation Hydra, near the far end of its elongat ed orbit around the sun, over three billion miles from earth, beyond the orbit of Neptune, inbound, and due to return in 2061.

You won’t see Halley’s Comet tonight, but you can see three bright planets in the eve ning sky, and from right (west) to left (east), they are Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars.

Jupiter is the brightest. It’s well up in the southeast as darkness falls, is halfway up the southern sky shortly after midnight, and sets in the west three hours before sunrise. I think Jupiter is the most inter esting planet to observe with a telescope because even a small telescope shows its four moons, which change posi

Mars rises north of north east at around 10:30 and is at its highest at around 5 a.m., when it’s nearly overhead. Mars is so bright that if it were where Jupiter or Saturn is, it would be obvious, since these two planets are in a part of the sky that has no bright stars to compete. But Mars is surrounded by bright stars in the winter Milky Way. It’s the brightest and reddest “star” in Taurus. Mars is a small planet 60 million miles from earth, so even excellent telescopes show very few surface fea tures.

John Mosley was Pro gram Supervisor of the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles for 27 years and is the author of “Stargazing for Beginners” and “Stargazing with Binocu lars and Telescopes.” He and his wife live in St. George, where he continues to star gaze from his retirement home while serving on the advisory committee for Stellar Vista Observatory.

Mail-In Ballots Remain Popular Among Utah Voters

by Mark Richardson, Utah News Connection

UTAH - Election Day is November 8, and Utah elec tions officials say it isn't too early for voters to start making a plan for casting their ballots. For many, voting by mail is a popular way to save time and avoid long lines at the polls.

Utah county clerks will begin sending mail-in ballot packages to all active regis tered voters after October 28, which is the last day to regis ter.

Hayden Loftus—election specialist with the Lieutenant Governor's Office—said in 2020, more than 90% of the votes cast were by mail. He said the system gives Utah voters a lot of options.

"You can vote it in per son at your county clerk's of fice," said Loftus. "You can use any of the drop-box loca tions across the state up until Election Day, November 8, at 8 p.m. Or you can mail your ballot back in, as long as it's postmarked by the day before the election."

Voting by mail was intro

duced in 2013 in Utah—and by 2016, about 25% of vot ers were using the system. By 2020, all 29 Utah counties were participating.

Earlier this year, skeptics of mail-in voting tried to end it, but their initiative failed to garner enough signatures to put it on the ballot.

Loftus said it's especially important for voters to com plete the signature verifica tion on the ballot envelope or face a delay in their vote being counted.

"Voters need to sign that, or their ballot will be chal lenged, and they'll have to come into the office," said Lof

tus. "But as long as they get it signed and the verification process works out, then their ballot will be counted, and everything will go smooth."

Registered voters can track their ballot's progress through the system by sign ing up at 'vote.utah.gov.'

Members of the military and citizens who live abroad can register to vote absentee by filing a Federal Post Card Application with their county clerk.

Support for this report ing was provided by the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
