Rare Jurassic Fossils Discovered Near Lake Powell PAGE - While documenting fossil tracksites along a stretch of Lake Powell, a Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (Glen Canyon NRA) field crew discovered the first tritylodontid bonebed found in the Navajo Sandstone in Utah. These extremely rare fossils are one of the more important fossil vertebrate discoveries in the United States this year.

The discovery included body fossils like bones and teeth, which are rare in the geologic formation known as the Navajo Sandstone within the Glen Canyon Group. This new discovery will shed light on the fossil history exposed on the changing shorelines of Lake Powell.

In March 2023, paleontologists were documenting fossil tracksites when they discovered a rare fossil horizon that was full of the impressions of bones and bone fragments of tritylodontid mammaliaforms, or early Fossil Discovery Cont'd on A6

Escalante's Youth Prevention Coalition. Garfield County has three community-based prevention coalitions—in Escalante, Bryce Valley and Panguitch. These coalitions rely on the Strategic Prevention Framework, which collects local data to identify the needs of the community. The coalition then implements scientifically proven, evidenced-based strategies to address risks and form a stronger community.

ESCALANTE - September marked national Suicide Awareness Month, and the Escalante Prevention Coalition (EPC) turned its focus to suicide prevention efforts by raising awareness, planning

upcoming QPR trainings in the schools and in the community, and by hosting an educational booth at the Escalante Canyons Art Festival, where volunteers handed out a variety of prevention resources.

Garfield Memorial Hospital Achieves Level IV Trauma Designation

Oct. 3, 2023 WAYNE CO. - The October 3, 2023 began with a prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, and the approval of the September 18, 2023, meeting minutes.

The first appointment on the agenda was with Holly Wood of the Langdon Group to discuss the implementation of the Utah Watershed Council Act. This act was passed by the Legislature in 2020, but implementation was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The act directed the Division of Water Resources to create several watershed councils throughout the state to increase communication and collaboration for different water stakeholders in the watershed.

Panguitch Holds First Even Lantern Festival

by Jaynie Connor

Jaynie Connor

PANGUITCH - Saturday, October 7, Panguitch held their first ever Panguitch Lantern Festival. This new event brought a wave of excitement for locals and tourists alike. This was a new event put on by Panguitch City, specifically Karma Albrecht, Panguitch City Event Coordinator. The festival activities started at the city park with horseshoes, corn hole, food trucks, hot dog and s'mores kits, and music. These were great ways to help attendees pass the time before the sun went down. If you wanted to set off a lantern of your own, you could purchase a lantern kit for $20 that came complete with a paper lantern, a lighter, and a sharpie. Attendees were encouraged to write things on their lanterns, such as goals for the future, messages for family members that have passed on, or whatever they wanted to send off into the sky. Once the sun had completely set, festival attendees headed over to the outdoor arena at the Triple C Arena rodeo grounds and set their lanterns off as a group. People of all ages gathered to witness the magical display of colorful lanterns that illuminated the night sky. It was a night filled with warmth, joy, and positivity, and it left a lasting impression on all who attended. To help with littering, the event offered $5 for every lantern found and returned after the event.

Implementation of the Utah Watershed Council Act and nominations for the council; acceptance of a bid from Blackburn Heating for new furnaces in Loa, Bicknell, and Hanksville; and office space for Stepping Stone Family Counseling discussed.

Wayne Commission Cont'd from A1

Wayne County is part of the West Colorado Watershed Council, which includes Carbon, Emory, Sanpete, Sevier, Piute, Garfield, and Kane counties. Wood asked the commission for recommendations of people that might be interested in joining the council. The commission expressed concern with how big the watershed council area is and the amount of work the council would require given the area’s size. The commission asked Wood to provide them with a list of people already nominated so they know who they can recommend.

Next, Kassi Brown reviewed two bids from Blackburn and Sevier Heating for new furnaces in the Loa, Bicknell, and Hanksville equipment sheds. The commissioners accepted the bid from Blackburn for $10,800 since it was both cheaper and from a local contractor.

Commissioner Blackburn

abstained from voting. The new furnace in Hanksville is contingent on creating a county service agreement with Hanksville since the town owns the building.

John Kennedy from Stepping Stone Family Counseling then discussed with the commission the services their organization provides for children and adolescents in Wayne County.

He appealed to the commission for office rental space to set up full-time counseling services. The commission said that no permanent spaces are currently available in the county but brainstormed with him potential private spaces available to pursue.

Lastly, the commission appointed Commissioner Blackburn as a representative to the Utah Counties Indemnity Pool, with Colleen Allen as an alternate, and approved the county’s bills.

The Wayne County Commission meets the first and third Monday of every month at the Wayne County Courthouse in Loa.

Garfield County Commissioners Need to Stay with Utah State Higher Authorities and Make Them Work for Us

Garfield County Commissioners need to stay with Utah State higher authorities and make them work for us [ Governor, AG, legislature ( House of Representative, Senate), US congressmen/women, US senators)]. ------- (1) They love to go to Washington, D.C. How they got there is the biggest secret ( did they travel first class ? Did they stay in Motel 6 or Hilton or TRUMP Motel ? Did they take their grand kids with them ? – All these should be available in open public records in two steps – First step – Accounts payable – Treasurer should report on bi-weekly basis ( in Commission’s meeting). It doesn’t happen. It should be in minutes. It’s not there. If the claim is too large, one has to use a GRAMA request to get copies of all claims / receipts. Bottom line – Garfield County cronies are engaged in cover up / obstruction / opacity. (2) County Commission says – “We are working hard”. OK. Let the people see it.

U.S. president Richard Nixon was sleeping only 4 hours and claimed to work 12 hours / days, 7 days / week. I had subordinates who could take 2 hours for a 30 minute job and output was penny worth. (3) According to the State ( DNR – Oil and Gas Div.), there are 214 wells in Garfield County. >50 wells are abandoned without filling ( Hazardous). Going to Washington, D.C. to talk to the Biden Administration is an idiot thing. (a) Royalty rates are too low (1980’s rate ?). (b) Bond required to fill the well is extremely low ( 5% of actual cost). So the oil drillers run away without filling wells. (c) Royalty is shared 50 / 50 by state and Federal. County gets a PILT from the federal ( > $ 500,000 ?) but how much from the state ? nothing ? (d) unfilled wells are a safety issue. We have > $3 million in surplus. Where is it going ? (4) Kaden Figgins (Economic Development Czar of Garfield County) reported that raw sewage is getting into three waterways ( Panguitch Lake, Sevier River, etc.). Where is the commission on this ? Can we lift the rug ? (5) per budget papers - Property taxes ( < $1 million ). Other > $25 million coming from other sources.

It belongs to who ? (6) Where are we on low income apartments, low income housing, for labor supply, growth, etc. ? Should we go to Washington, D.C. ? (7) There was World 20 ( biggest World Economic summit) in India. How did county / city cronies miss it ? (8) Garfield County Commission retained a survey company which reported > 45% of people in Garfield love to stay in Garfield County. What a joke ! > 65% are in institutional jobs. Let's connect the dots. Unlike New York city, Salt Lake City, people produce 4-6 kids. 5,000 population in 1990 and 5,000 population in 2020. Folks! Wake up. Unplug your nose. We are in a cesspool.

Wayne (County) Company - Daughter of Utah Pioneers Hosts 2023 District Convention

by Wayne Company - Daughter of Utah Pioneers

Courtesy Jessica Gober

On September 25, 2023, the much anticipated District Convention for Piute, Sevier South and Wayne companies of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers (DUP) took place on a beautifully warm fall day at the Historic Loa Tabernacle.

WAYNE CO. - The much anticipated District Convention for Piute, Sevier South and Wayne companies of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers (DUP) took place on a beautifully warm fall day at the Historic Loa Tabernacle.

Close to one-hundred DUP members attended the event on Monday morning, September 25, 2023.

The theme of the convention was “Celebrating Our Pioneer Treasures.” Colorful balloon bouquets filled the room, along with tiny treasure chests filled with gold-wrapped candy for each guest.

Members of Wayne Company had invited

members of their seven Camps to create a display of personal pioneer treasures. They responded with amazing effort and creativeness, seemingly bringing town museums to the event. Long tables arranged around the perimeter of the gymnasium exhibited precious artifacts: quilts, jewelry, doilies, china, clothing, tools, shoes, furniture, books, historical pictures and many other items.

Mauna Loa had the largest collection and Camp Thousand Lake (Lyman) created a poster-size heritage map that traced immigration routes of its member’s ancestors, using various colors of thread. Desert Sunset (Hanksville) showed many

early pictures, books, a washboard and even a potty-training chair. Thurber (Bicknell) displayed artifacts that included one of the first black-powder double-barrel shot guns brought into the area, and Geyser (Fremont) hung a 3,000 piece quilt and showed an assortment of china and tatted doilies.

The officers' meeting was first on the agenda.

During the meeting, Billie Allred, our international representative, gave valuable training and updates.

She expressed her gratitude, and conveyed the same from the International DUP Convention Cont'd on A6

Garfield County Commission October 9, 2023 GARFIELD CO. Summary notes from the Oct. 9 Garfield County Commission meeting: • Commissioners David Tebb, Jerry Taylor, and Leland Pollock all expressed dissatisfaction with the GSENM Resource Management Plan process. They will be hosting a Q&A in Bryce Valley on October 26, starting at 6:30, for residents who still have unanswered questions.

They’re encouraging residents to get involved in the process and submit their comment before the deadline.

• Commissioner Taylor reported a shortfall of $60M funding available to Community Impact Board (CIB) to disperse for capital projects in the state. Funds are used for projects such as community centers, fire trucks, etc,.

• Commissioners and Public Works Director Dave Dodds talked about speeding traffic and cow accidents.

Commissioner Pollock said liability for accidents is usually split between driver and livestock owner in private areas, but on marked “open range,” the market value of the animal is assessed at 100% to the driver.

• Planning Director Kaden Figgins had subdivision and ordinance activity: He and the Commission discussed the contamination problem at Panguitch Lake, saying the state Division of Environmental Quality was not helping matters by not requiring additional permitting in some locations. Figgins said one neighborhood has over 20 households on a single septic system, which the county currently has no regulation over.

• In other Planning ac-

tion, the Commission approved the amendments proposed to the Subdivision Ordinance that generally clarify and reorganize existing requirements. Also, changes to the Glamping ordinance remove its conditional use in Agricultural zones and instead make glamping a permitted use in Commercial and MultiUse zones.

The Commissioner ad-

journed to an executive session.

The Garfield County Commission meets on the second and fourth Monday of each month starting at 10 a.m. All meetings are held in the County Courthouse in Panguitch. There is no set up for electronic participation, but all meeting recordings are uploaded to the Utah Public Meetings Notice board, https://www. utah.gov/pmn/.

Are You Prepared to Live Alone?

by Jeffery J. McKenna Whether you have been together for a short time or a long time, you will most likely go through a period of emotional and financial stress after losing a partner. Trying to take charge of all the responsibilities you have to handle alone, while at the same time making important decisions about your future, can seem overwhelming.

It is important to remember to take care of yourself as you walk the path of healing after such a difficult event. Too many times the remaining partner does not eat enough food or drink enough water to be properly nourished, and does not get enough rest. Try to postpone unnecessary changes and big decisions until you are thinking rationally and clearly. Wait a while —some experts counsel at least a year—before moving to a new house or making a major career (or other) change.

In most relationships, there is a certain amount of separation of duty that takes place: one partner does the cooking while the other does the gardening, one partner takes care of the car while the other partner pays the bills. At the death of a partner, the surviving partner often feels overwhelmed that there are too many tasks for one person to handle

alone. Plus, there is much paperwork to be accomplished, what with survivor’s benefits, insurance issues, or other benefits that the survivor will need to make claim for.

To make the period after the death of a partner less stressful, there are some things that can be done in advance. Be sure that both names are on the safe deposit box, so you may each have access to important papers and documents. Keep a complete list of where your family’s legal and financial records are stored. Keep a summary record for listing the names and telephone numbers of your personal financial advisors, as well as the location of relevant information and documents.

Keep copies of your marriage certificate and your partner’s Social Security card.

Ask yourselves: what would your financial situation be in the event your spouse died. This is a critical question, because once you know the answer, you can take the appropriate steps to strengthen your financial position. Ask yourself these questions now: 1.) What would my income be if my spouse died? 2.)

What would my spouse’s income be if I died? 3.) Is my income affected by the death of someone other than a spouse?

Rushing to get to the movies, my husband and I told the kids we had to leave "right now"—at which point our teenage daughter headed for the bathroom to apply makeup. Her dad yelled for her to get in the car immediately, and headed for the garage grumbling.

On the way to the multiplex my husband glanced in the rearview mirror and caught our teen applying lipstick and blush, which produced the predictable lecture. "Look at your mom," he said. "She didn't put on any makeup just to go sit in a dark movie theater."

From the back I heard, "Yeah, but Mom doesn't need makeup."

My heart swelling with the compliment, I turned back to thank this sweet, wonderful daughter of mine just as she continued, "Nobody looks at her."

Unfinished Repairs

My sister Darlene has the courage—but not always the skills—to tackle any home-repair project. For example, in her garage are pieces of a lawn mower she once tried to fix. So I wasn't surprised the day my other sister, Jesse, and I found Darlene attacking her vacuum cleaner with a screwdriver.

"I can't get this thing to cooperate," she explained. "Why don't you drag it out to the garage and show it the lawn mower?" Jesse suggested.

Peggy Bagnell PANGUITCH - Our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great-grandma, Peggy Lorraine Miller Bagnell, 91, left this life very peacefully on October 8, 2023. She passed away in St. George at the home of her daughter-in-law, who was by her side.

Peggy was born December 4, 1931, in Portland, OR to Rita Mary Lincoln. She spent her young years in Oregon around Eugene. Most of these years, she was with her meme and grandpa.

When Peggy’s mom married Howard Miller, they moved to California where Howard adopted her.

Her family ran some flower fields and green houses, and she remembered weeding many rows of flowers and removing the yellow stamens off the white lilies at Easter time —still not her favorite flower. But, in doing this she always received a nice Easter outfit from a department store.

As a young lady, Peggy married and brought three children into the world. Later divorced. She then married the love of her life, Jake Huffman Bagnell on February 22, 1958, in Las Vegas, NV. The marriage was solemnized on December 4, 1993, in the St. George Temple.

He preceded her in death on September 16, 2014. He was the best dad to her children. She married Glen Bauer on October 3, 2019, in Panguitch. He preceded her in death on June 22, 2023.

Her daughter was born with hydrocephalus and passed at the age of five. She is buried at Point Loma in California. Peg and Jake raised her two boys together while supporting Jake’s son by his first wife.

She was a waitress, cook, and baker at the local school while in California. They moved to Utah in 1978 where she worked at the local Gem Theater, and the Garfield County Newspaper doing subscriptions and ads.

Then Peggy went to work at the hospital as a cook and became dietary manager. She also studied and became a volunteer EMT for 10 years.

After retiring, Peggy worked for the food bank and senior citizens. She traveled to every state in the US except Delaware. Some of them many times. She loved Alaska and Hawaii most.

Peggy had many talents. She learned to decorate cakes in California and made many wedding cakes for local couples in Panguitch. She loved reading, knitting and baking cookies.

She is survived by her daughter-in-law, LouAna Bagnell, St. George; step-son, Jacob (Susan) Bagnell, Alpine, CA; granddaughters: Katrina Bagnell, Washington City; Deborah (Robert) Kirkland, St. George; Aimee Bagnell (financé, Brandon Taylor), Washington City; Melissa (Roman) Gottschalk, Rancho Santa Fe, CA; Jacob (Ashley) Bagnell, Naples, ID; 17 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great-grandchildren.

She is preceded in death by her parents; husbands; daughter, Deborah Robin Gipperich; sons, Jerry (Pam) Bagnell, Robert Dale Bagnell; grandsons: Nate Hacker and Justin Lamoreaux.

Funeral services were held Monday, October 16, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. in the Panguitch Stake Center, where visitation was from 9:30 - 10:30 a.m. Burial was in the Panguitch Cemetery. Funeral Directors: Magleby Mortuary, Richfield, Salina and Manti. Live streaming and online guestbook were found at www.maglebymortuary. com below Peggy’s obituary.

For once, something lived up to its hype; the eclipse was everything it was supposed to be. The "Ring of Fire" was what made the eclipse so great, and we were in the right spot for it. Richfield really planned for it, with an Oktoberfest taking place at the same time. The town’s many motels were sold out, and it tripled the size of the town for one day. Bryce Canyon had thousands of people watching through special glasses. It was a once in a lifetime thing, and that is why people from all over the world go to see one. I plan on sticking around for the next one here in Utah. There will be a total eclipse on April 8, 2024.

October comes from

the Latin word "octo [eight]” because this had been the eighth month of the early Roman calendar.

Most people forgot that last Monday was Columbus Day, and it is rarely celebrated anymore. Those that work like it because it gives them a day off. Maybe it is time to do away with it, which would save the government and private business billions of dollars.

Henrie’s Drive-in has sold and changed hands.

Julie Hatch and her sister, Colleen Simpkins, have called it a day. They have run their father’s business for many years. They are keeping it in the family.

Colleen’s son is buying it.

Henrie’s has been a booming business all of these years with their great food,

but being in business is very stressful, and it is now time to play. They were open this one last time on Friday and Saturday. Thank you, ladies, for all your hard work, friendship, and good food.

Last week in my column, I said that the Stake Conference would be last Sunday. Boy, were we surprised when we showed up and saw the 1st ward services going on at ten. Then, we were told that we were a week early, so please show up at 10:00 a.m. this Sunday.

On Halloween evening, the Panguitch Elementary Parent Teacher Organization is having a fundraiser. It will be at the Social Hall, and they will be serving Navajo Tacos.

They will cost $8.00 and will come with a drink. It will be a great way to start off the evening.

The war that is going on in Israel is taking a heavy toll on lives, and it isn’t getting any better.

Our president is backing Israel with financial aid. However, the GOP still doesn’t have a leader, and our government has ground into a halt. I know that when there is a shutdown, the U.S. Congress still gets paid. Maybe they should put in a temporary leader till they can make up their mind. Anyway, Pat and I had booked a tour to Israel in April that we have been waiting for years to take, but we have cancelled.

Halloween is a fun time, but please watch out for the kids. It is still light till 7:00 p.m., but some of the kids still go out later.

Next Sunday, after Halloween, is my birthday, and I will be getting a terrible birthday present.

Daylight standard time goes into effect on November 5. Our clocks will fall back, and we will have sunsets at 6:00 p.m. The good news is that you will get an hour more of sleep.

On Halloween, "boo" unto others as they should "boo" unto you.

Pat and I will be gone next weekend, so enjoy our wonderful town and keep safe till we return.

News from Wayne County

Solar Eclipse Fanatics Flood So. Utah, While State Baseball Champions Celebrate Their Win

by Adus F. Dorsey II WAYNE CO. - Anticipating limited accommodations, RV spots, camping spaces and everything else solar eclipse related, serious eclipse fanatics began arriving and have remained in Wayne County since Labor Day weekend, and they show no signs of leaving anytime soon. But, as all Wayne County residents are aware, Mother Nature has an agenda all her own.

With temperatures ranging

from 36 degrees in Hanksville to a frosty 25 degrees in Loa on Friday morning (October 13), many RVers and tent campers found themselves either searching for the elusive thermostat or their partner on Thursday (October 12) night.

No doubt nighttime temperatures near the freezing point will soon start to slim out the thin skinned and tender hearted, and if that doesn't do it, the first signs of snow surely will.

Not so surprising are the lines of BMWs, Range Rovers, hippy vans and people staring through store windows that have been arriving way early in front of the Chuckwagon, Wild Rabbit and anywhere else that has coffee, a donut or anything remotely pastry related. For those that enjoy people watching, the hours between 7 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. seem to be ideal on Main Street, Torrey.

You get to see it all. There have been rumors round town that Bob Marley and his dreadlocks are passing through. Of course, it could just as well be a camper with morning hair for as much as any local cowboy is concerned. Either way, the whole annular solar event has made for some interesting encounters in Wayne County in the past week, and that is putting it lightly.

Most notable is the unrestricted and the lack of designated camping that is allowed on places like Beas Lewis Flat (BLM) East of Torrey. To the untrained eye, the once spectacular sweeping views of Capitol Reef look more like

Armageddon has set in.

Although, for the expected eclipse crowds, there are one or two cursory port-apotties strategically placed where no one would dare be seen going into them.

The sheer amount of scattered motor homes, pop-up campers and tents gives the appearance of something certainly gone wrong, and shows a visible lack of foresight on the part of the powers that be and their inability to see what the future holds for open areas appearing on "free camping" websites. Left to some local caring individuals is the management and clean up of these public land areas, filled with a thousand fire rings and miles of new ruts and tire tracks.

A week ago, the Wayne High boys baseball team became State 1A Champions against Altamont.

The life of the parent of a Wayne High player involves hustling everyone into the car to get to practice and games on time, sitting in the bleachers dodging foul balls and cheering when there is a hit or close call. Lonely and sad is the life of the referee on the field that makes a bad call at second while another run scores.

To the observant outsider, it is easy to see that sports in Wayne County is a big deal. It is best just to stay in the background and take your lead from the most vociferous parent on the front row, as they will let you and everyone else know who and what you should be rooting for.

At 8:30 p.m., on the

30th of September, 2023, a long line of lights could be seen snaking their way toward Loa. In Loa, every driveway, side street and parking lot was filled with cars, trucks, four wheelers, bale wagons and anything with wheels, and the word was out that the Wayne Badgers had won the 1A state baseball championship; it was time to celebrate, and celebrate everyone did. It would not have surprised anyone to see someone going car to car selling cotton candy.

At one point, the parade of vehicles and fans stretched from Loa to Bicknell, rivaling any Wayne County Fair parade ever witnessed. In Bicknell, the 1A state baseball champs were loaded onto new bales of hay and driven shouting and celebrating on the back streets of Bicknell, all the way to the high school where they disembarked and sang and shouted some more.

The parade continued into the Wayne High gymnasium, where coaches, parents and fans were congratulated and recognized.

It was truly a night that will go down in the history books as a culmination of hard work, participation, dedication and teamwork, and a hallmark moment of what it is like to live in Wayne County.

Not to be overlooked is the fact that the girls basketball team also won the 1A Championship back in March of 2023, a double bonus for Wayne High and Wayne County.

Go Badgers!

in building open communication between tourism directors and county commissioners throughout the state,” said Randall.

Owens applied for a full-time position with the Garfield County Office of Tourism eighteen years ago and hasn’t looked back. She’s led the GCOT for nine years, and is currently furthering her education at Southern Utah University.

“I became very passionate about the work in the tourism office and I was eager to learn about Utah's visitor economy, and specifically the tourism economy in Garfield County. It is our lifeblood here; many jobs and families depend on tourism. So I stayed in the office, absorbed everything I could, DUP Convention Cont'd from A3

Board, to leaders for their dedicated service. She presented a book of DUP “Museum Memories” to each Camp to pass on to interested potential members. She also gave a second edition DUP lesson book to Wayne Company that spotlights early pioneer stories of Sevier, Sanpete, Piute and Wayne counties.

The general meeting convened next with host Company President Lauralee Williams presiding.

After a prayer by Monte Laing and the pledge-ofallegiance led by Marcie Taylor, the audience sang “The Daughters of the Utah Pioneers,” led by Gaelynn Peterson and accompanied by Becky Pace on piano. Each company presented a summary of their recent activities, as well as convention reports that included treasurer reports and a roll call.

Debbie James, a local historian on the subject, gave an interesting history of the beloved Loa Tabernacle, showing early pictures of the building and telling of the tireless work and challenges undertaken by settlers to construct the large meeting place.

After a rousing song, “In a Bouncy Buggy,” time was turned over to our guest speaker, Billie Allred, who serves as Treasurer on the International Board and assists with the Days of '47 Scholarship Pageant.

Allred gave vital in-

and got promoted to the director's position when my predecessor retired,” said Owens. During her time as director, the board has secured over $2 million in grants and has increased transient room taxes (TRT) by 55%.

Owens explains how the county’s approach to tourism has evolved over time. “When I first started, there was so much focus solely marketing the destination, and now there is increased focus on managing the destination, making sure this is a great place to visit as well as work and live.”

Garfield County is home for Owens and her daughter. She was born and raised in Panguitch, graduated from Panguitch High School, and is the daughter of Mike and Trudy Owens..

“One of my favorite parts about being here is the

people in Garfield County.

We have so many incredible people and stories, I am glad that I get to be a part of sharing those stories.

We are so lucky we get to work with so many incredible partners between each of the communities, event organizers, land agencies and have commissioners that understand and fully embrace the importance of tourism in Garfield County.”

“My favorite thing about living in Garfield County is sharing our incredible landscape and communities with so many people. We often take this area for granted but few things are as satisfying as getting to walk out on the rim of Bryce Canyon or drive on Highway 12 and see the look on someone’s face when they first experience that,” said Owens.

struction with clarification regarding the organization’s recently revised constitution. She told the story of her ancestor’s perilous voyage on the Brooklyn.

This group of early pioneers became the first colony of home-seekers with women and children to sail around Cape Horn, the first group of Anglo settlers to come to California by water, and the first group of colonists to arrive after United States forces took California. Additionally, the Brooklyn arrived in Yerba Buena (later re-named San Francisco) one year prior to Brigham Young and the overland pioneers reaching the Salt Lake Valley, and thus, it was the first city in the American West colonized

by Latter-day Saints. Allred concluded by reminding us that because of our pioneer heritage and their example, we can find strength and courage to face challenges of today.

Mariana Taylor, our Regional Representative, then addressed the group.

She also relayed encouragement and gratitude to all. She told harrowing stories of her great-grandfather, who at the age of fifteen rode for the Pony Express in the Rush Valley area.

After a quick game of “musical balloons” for door prizes, the meeting was adjourned and everyone enjoyed a baked potato/ chili bar and fruit crisp à la mode, served with a smile by wonderful ladies.

There was dancing in the aisles, and some at tables, thanks to delightful

lunchtime musical entertainment provided by talented members of Rough Around the Edges/Moony Washboard Girls and Boys.

At last year’s Wayne Company Jubilee, we wanted to do something fun and special to recognize and remember our wonderful members, so throughout the year, we gathered member handprints from each camp to make a “Heritage Quilt.” From a vision to reality, it literally “came together” thanks to the work of Marsha Chappell, VeeAnn Pace, Diane Taylor and Marcie Taylor.

The completed and colorful quilt, with seventy-one handprint squares, was displayed at the convention.

We celebrate (with some relief) this memorable accomplishment and treasure.

In conclusion, Wayne Company would like to thank Billie Allred and Marianna Taylor, and attendees from all companies, for taking time out of busy schedules and, for many, driving a long distance to make the event. Last, but not least, thank you Wayne Company Camps, sons, husbands, and many others, for your help with this event and stepping in where needed. We couldn’t have done it without you. Happy trails and until next time.

Receiving a Level IV Trauma designation means being able to keep more patients as close to home as possible, which can best help the patient, and support rural healthcare staying strong and robust.

Todd Mooney, MD, family practice physician at Garfield Memorial said, “We have been striving to provide the best trauma care possible with the resources available to us for over 20 years. We are proud to have had these efforts recognized with the Level IV Trauma designation. This designation will

allow us even more support in our efforts to provide for our communities as we move forward.”

DeAnn Brown, Garfield Memorial president, said, “I’ve always had complete confidence in the care provided in our emergency department. This Level IV Trauma designation is a verification of the high quality, comprehensive care provided to the many patients experiencing trauma in our community. I feel privileged to work with a team who cares enough to put in the hard work needed to receive this designation.

Many hours have gone into preparing for the site visit, which looked at how our facility assures our ability to meet high standards of care. We will continue to prepare, plan, and evaluate to ensure that we are continually ready to receive and treat patients with the

best care possible.”

Colin Marshall, DO and chief medical officer at Garfield Memorial, said, “This achievement was a collaboration of numerous individuals in our hospital and EMS staff, led by our nurse administrator Susan Harris. This signifies our commitment to provide the highest quality of care to our community and those visiting the area. The designation underscores our ability to manage a wide range of trauma case from minor trauma to more complex medical conditions and maintain the highest standard of care for our patients. I want to extend my gratitude to the members of our healthcare team for their efforts to make this achievement possible.”

Fossil Discovery: While documenting fossil

tracksites along a stretch of Lake Powell, a Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (Glen Canyon NRA) field crew discovered the first tritylodontid bonebed found in the Navajo Sandstone in Utah. These extremely rare fossils are one of the more important fossil vertebrate discoveries in the United States this year.

A painting depicting an Early Jurassic scene from the Navajo Sandstone desert preserved at Glen Canyon NRA. A small team of paleontologists worked with artist Brian Engh to provide a technically accurate depiction of the rare and enigmatic tritylodonts (close mammal relatives) discovered in March during low water levels of Lake Powell.

Fossil Discovery Cont'd from A1

herbivorous mammal-relatives from the Early Jurassic (approximately 180 million years ago). The site had been submerged by Lake Powell’s fluctuating water levels and was only found because the paleontologists were in the right place at the right time before annual snowmelt filled the lake. Field teams were only able to access the location for a very short window of time (approximately 120 days) to recover the fossils. Additionally, another rare bone bed was discovered nearby in the slightly older Kayenta Formation.

The crew collected several hundred pounds of rocks encasing the fossil bones and skeletons at the site. These will be scanned with X-ray computerized tomography (CT) at the University of Utah South Jordan Health Center, mechanically prepared and studied at St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm (SGDS) by the lab and collections crew volunteers, with help from Petrified Forest National Park and the Smithsonian Institution. The fossils will become part of the Glen Canyon NRA

museum collections to be housed at the Prehistoric Museum in Price, Utah.

Studying these fossils will help paleontologists learn more about how early mammal relatives survived the mass extinction at the end of the Triassic Period and diversified through the Jurassic Period.

Andrew Milner, Site Paleontologist and Curator at SGDS, is the lead author of a manuscript describing a related site to be published either on National Fossil Day or shortly thereafter in the open access journal, Geology of the Intermountain West. This manuscript will be available at the following link: https://doi.org/10.31711/ giw.v10.pp185-222 Glen Canyon NRA thanks Petrified Forest National Park paleontologist Adam Marsh, who is a subject matter expert on this period of paleontologi-

cal history and was able to join the field team.

The towering geologic formations that surround Lake Powell are home to a vast suite of unexplored fossil remains, making Glen Canyon NRA one of the National Park Service’s (NPS) most significant areas for paleontological research. The most famous and abundant fossils known from Glen Canyon NRA are the footprints of meat-eating dinosaurs in the Glen Canyon Group. This series of sedimentary rocks, named after their exposures along the canyon itself, were laid down by rivers, lakes, streams and deserts from the Late Triassic Epoch through the Early Jurassic Epoch. One of the largest mass extinctions in Earth’s history happened during this period.

Moquis Bounce Back with Win Over BV

by Nancy Goude ESCALANTE - The Escalante volleyball team took full advantage of the previous week off to do two different team building activities to help them regroup after back-to-back disappointing losses to Wayne and Wendover.

“We focused on team unity. We went on a teambuilding hike and also did a community service project together by picking apples for local elders.

We also made packets for the marathon. We’ve been doing that for the past few years and the girls are getting really good at it,” said Coach Sabrina Hughes.

Lexi Osburn said “all of these team building activities have helped me and the rest of the team improve so well we never bicker anymore and all we do is laugh!”

The home team got a little extra boost of enthusiasm from an exhibition game between boys from Escalante and Bryce Valley playing a 4 p.m. match before the junior varsity played on October 11.

With boys’ volleyball now a sanctioned sport in Utah, it was a fun match with a lot of energy on

both sides of the net. Members of the varsity team officiated the match and served as line judges.

“We heard that there was a lot of potential interest in having a boys volleyball team. The idea came to Jillian Crystal and I to hold a boys game. We decided to take it a step further by asking Bryce Valley student council if they wanted to form their own boys team.

By the end of the day, we had 17 boys signed up from Escalante HS and a signup sheet was posted in Bryce Valley HS,” said Ryen Treanor.

The extra togetherness time and the adrenaline boost from the boys’ match paid off as Escalante picked up a 25-20, 22-25, 25-21 and 28-26 win over visiting Bryce Valley.

Escalante had a pretty balanced offensive attack with all of the members of the starting lineup putting down kills, which kept the Mustangs off-balance because they didn’t know where the attack would be coming from. Osburn had an outstanding night, offensively, with ten kills and one stuff block, and Ellie Nelson tallied six kills and

twelve service points, including an eight-point run in the final set.

“I thought Ellie hit really well and covered well defensively. Lexi and Kira (Roberts) also ran the net pretty well. We had some let downs of energy a couple times after we got comfortable leads, so we need to work on that,” said Coach Hughes.

“I was really impressed with our hustle.

There were times when we let our energy drop and it showed in how we played, especially in our serves and passes, but we fought very well,” said Treanor, while teammate Osburn added, “It was amazing. More than amazing, in fact! We gave it our all and came out with a win!”

Escalante hosted Beaver Dam on October 17 for the final regional matchup.

Prior to the beginning of the match, the Moquis honored the high school career of Treanor, as the senior marks her final regular season appearance on her home court.

It is likely that the Moquis will host a first round match as part of the state tournament on October 21.

PHS Sports Sidelines

son’s 17:42.5 earned him fourth place.

Kanab’s Austin Church took the bronze medal with a time of 17:26.3.

Powered by the three top four finishers, North Sevier won the meet with 16 points, while Escalante took second with 57 points.

Panguitch finished in third place with 61.

The Moquis were happy to avenge their loss to Panguitch on September 29.

“The meet went very well. We took second to North Sevier with Panguitch right on our heels just four points behind,” said Coach Adam Griffin.

Clara Peterson turned in another solid race with a time of 25:22.2 for 22nd place in the girl’s race. Her time is just seven minutes off pace from the first place finisher from Kanab, Kennidee Glazier.

“It should be an exciting race on Tuesday at Regionals. I know everyone is going to bring their best and it could be anyone’s win. There are a lot of kids throughout the region who are running great,” said Griffin.

The fall sports seasons is really coming to an end.

The Lady Cats played host to Milford, and the town really responded to Senior Night. As usual, the Cats took out Milford in three games, but it was fun watching them play. Last week, I forgot to mention how good the cheerleadering squad is; if there is a cheerleadering championship, they should be a shooin. Next up, on the 27th & 28th, will be State Volleyball Tournament. This year, it will be at Utah Valley University in Provo.

Last Thursday, the cross country team was at Valley, which is a great

place to watch a meet.

The Lady Cats dominated the field. There were a lot of 2A teams there, but it didn’t make any difference. In 2nd was Brooke Albrect at 19:15, 3rd was Tabi Henrie at 20:06, 4th was Annie Yardley at 20:06, and at 7th was Alexa Marshall. The team scores were Panguitch 16, Valley 50, and Kanab with 63.

Also, at the boys meet, there were a lot of 2A teams, which changed the scores. Josh Perez was 8th, Mark Tebbs was 12th, Jacob Marshall was 16th, and Max Woolsey was 26th. The 1A school scores were Escalante 57, and the Bobcats were 62.

Last Tuesday, the 17th, was Region at Escalante.

State will be next Tuesday on the 24th up at the Regional Athletic Complex.

Check with Danny where that is. Danny, you are such an asset to the team.

Keep up the good work.

Prevention Coalition: We want kids and adults to have coping skills. To understand it is okay to be wrong, okay to lose, okay to be disliked and to be resourceful when feelings of discomfort come up.

signs that someone is experiencing increased emotional stress and may be contemplating ending their life. The educational training helps people recognize the warning signs of suicide, provides guidance on how to talk to someone who may be at risk for suicide and the skills to be a support person who can help persuade and refer the person to appropriate resources.

“We focus on prevention and kids. Our next

goal is to open our QPR trainings to the community.

We want to be a link to resources and end the stigma of asking for help,” said Heather Dunton, Escalante Prevention Coalition Coordinator.

The vision of the Escalante Prevention Coalition is “to be a thriving community family that inspires and empowers our youth and adults to live happy and healthy lifestyles free of substance abuse and misuse” and has a mission of “creating a family-centered community that decreases risk factors and increases

protective factors to reduce substance abuse and misuse amongst youth and adults and address mental health issues by creating opportunities for growth through prevention education, family and community engagement and resource development.”

Education is particularly critical in suicide prevention, as eighty percent of people considering suicide exhibit warning signs.

Learning to recognize the warning signs and understand the risk factors provide a layer of much-needed support for those at risk.

Utah’s suicide rate is nearly double the national rate and is the 6th highest in the country. Suicide is the leading cause of death amongst one of Utah’s youngest groups—children and teens aged 10 - 19, according to the University of Utah. Youth suicide rather has more than tripled in the state in the last two decades.

Further compounding the skyrocketing problem is the primarily rural and isolated nature of the state with limited emotional health practitioners and access to resources. Utah ranks last in the country for mental healthcare resources. The public health crisis of suicide attempts and deaths by suicide also heavily impacts adults in the state with 1 in 5 suffering from poor mental health.

In the past three years, the University of Utah has conducted 131 research projects about suicide ex-

ploring links to genetics, veterans, postpartum depression, trauma, sleep, substance abuse, social, family and religious dynamics and more.

Children and women in Utah are most likely to attempt suicide, while white men are most likely to die by suicide. According to Utah State University, the specific risk factors for women in the state are: suicide attempts, eating disorders, hormonal fluctuations, pregnancy, fetal loss, fertility challenges, mental health, sexual abuse, childhood adversities and trauma, lack of economic security, domestic violence and dating issues, religious dissonance, substance abuse and identifying as LGBTQIA. With a year-round agenda full of monthly events, the EPC has deployed a variety of activities that range from parenting classes, educational signage at Griffin’s Grocery, and providing Mental Health First Aid kits to the Garfield County Sheriff’s Department. The Hope Squad—a teen peer-to-peer suicide prevention program—meets twice monthly. Each of these programs is designed to educate and link people to resources for substance abuse, mental health and suicide prevention with a goal of making the community safer and healthier.

The EPC is part of the division of the Southwest Behavioral Health Center, serving Beaver, Garfield, Kane, Iron and Washington counties that focus on skill building for individuals, families, institutions, leaders, schools, businesses, religious organizations, health agencies, police departments, organizations and the general public based on evidencebased practices to engage the community in uniting prevention efforts.

Each communitybased coalition—and Garfield County has three, in

Escalante, Bryce Valley and Panguitch—relies on the Strategic Prevention Framework, which collects local data to identify the needs of the community. The coalition then implements scientifically proven, evidenced-based strategies to address risks and form a stronger community.

Programming for youth, adults and teens educates individuals on risks, builds leadership and problem solving skills, and improves communication skills and empowerment. It also contributes to community and important policy work.

“We want kids and adults to have coping skills. To understand it is okay to be wrong, okay to lose, okay to be disliked and to be resourceful when feelings of discomfort come up,” said Dunton.

She continued, “we provide opportunities for social involvement and family attachment through social norms campaigns that put a positive spin on issues and empower rather than rely on misinformation and fear.”

Dunton said if she could wave a magic wand to support suicide prevention, she would address addiction. “Addiction of all kinds. It destroys everything.”

An upcoming conjunction is between Jupiter and the Moon. Jupiter sits below the moon by a comfortable 2½°, or five moon diameters.

The week begins with a wonderful conjunction —and conjunctions are always fun. As the sky is getting dark, look for the nearly-full moon a third of the way up the southwestern sky. Only 5° straight above the moon is the distant planet Saturn. Saturn is 1-hour 17-minutes distant by light; in contrast, the moon is 1-1/5 light seconds distant. You’ll see both together in standard binoculars.

Both objects are moving toward the horizon as the earth rotates toward the east, while, at the same time, the moon is moving eastward against the distant planets and stars, and as they set, their separation has decreased to 3-1/2°.

The next conjunction is far nicer, and it also happens in the evening. After leaving Saturn, the moon moved through Aquarius and Pisces, catching Jupiter in Aries. This time, Jupiter sits below the moon,

and by a comfortable 2½°, or five moon diameters.

Venus rises a full three hours before the sun, and you can see it long into morning twilight. In fact, you can see it all day if you know where to look. It’s far brighter than any other star or planet.

Jupiter is half-way up the southwest sky as Venus is crossing the eastern horizon.

Jupiter is still high when the sun rises. Just as you can see Venus long after sunrise, so too you can see Jupiter until long into the dawn, especially if you “cheat” and use binoculars.

How late can you see Jupiter with your eyes alone?

With binoculars? This is another challenge for observers of the sky.

Summer is the time for meteor showers, but a few grace the autumn and winter skies. Well-known are the Orionids, lasting from early October through early November, at their peak on October 20 and 21.

The Orionid meteors come from Halley’s Comet. They are debris shed by the comet long ago, following along in the orbit of the comet until a particle hits earth's atmosphere where it can be seen as a meteor.

They “fall” at the speed of 148,000 mph (fast for a comet) and burn up before reaching the ground.

Orionids radiate from a point northeast of the red giant star Betelgeuse (see if you can verify that). You may see 15-20 per hour.

Betelgeuse is in Orion, hence the name “Orionids”.

Pumpkin Power: The Health Value of a Fall Favorite

by Kathy Riggs, Utah State University Extension Professor UTAH - Fall is in full swing, and pumpkins are populating porches everywhere. Not only are pumpkins used for decorating and carving, they can be used in casseroles, soups, sauces, desserts, snacks, and more.

Many people aren’t aware of the great health benefits of pumpkin, which is one more reason to enjoy it. Pumpkin is low in calories and packed with nutrients, such as fiber and beta-carotene. It is also rich in potassium.

Pumpkins are versatile and can be steamed, baked, boiled, microwaved (remember to cut slits in them), and cooked in the pressure cooker.

Once cooked, they can be mashed, pureed, cubed, and stored in the fridge or freezer in air-tight containers. There are many options for mashed or pureed pumpkin (fresh or canned). Some include muffins, biscuits, quick breads, soups, and sauces for mac and cheese or other pasta. Pumpkin can also be added to chili, smoothies, cheese balls, and hummus. Cubed and cooked pumpkin can be used with pasta, risotto, soups, salads, and casseroles.

Consider these tips and guidelines from the National Center for Home Food Preservation at nch-

fp.uga.edu/tips/fall/pumpkins.html to make the most of this year’s pumpkin patch.

Drying Pumpkin Seeds Carefully wash pumpkin seeds to remove the clinging fibrous pumpkin tissue. Pumpkin seeds can be dried in the sun, in an electric dehydrator at 115120 F for one to two hours, or in an oven at a very low, warm temperature for three to four hours.

Stir frequently to avoid scorching. Do not store dried seeds if any moisture is left in them.

Drying Pumpkin and Pumpkin Leather Wash, peel, and remove fibers and seeds from pumpkin (or Hubbard squash) flesh. Cut into small, thin strips no more than 1-inch wide by 1/8-inch thick. Blanch strips over steam for three minutes and dip briefly in cold water to stop the blanching action. There is no need to cool to room temperature before drying.

Drain excess moisture.

Dry the strips in an electric dehydrator until brittle.

Pumpkin also makes excellent dried vegetable leather. Purée cooked pumpkin and strain. Add honey and spices, then dry on a home food dehydrator tray.

Freezing Pumpkin Freezing is the easi-

est way to preserve pumpkins, and it yields the best quality product. Select a full-colored mature pumpkin with fine texture (not stringy or dry). Wash, cut into cooking-size sections and remove seeds. Cook until soft in boiling water, steam, a pressure cooker, or an oven. Remove pulp from rind and mash. To cool, place the pan containing pumpkin in cold water and stir occasionally. Pack into rigid containers leaving headspace, and freeze.

Canning Pumpkin Only pressure canning methods are recommended for canning cubed pumpkin. There are no properly researched directions for canning mashed or pureed pumpkin or winter squash, pumpkin butter, or any other pumpkin preserves (jams, jellies, etc.). All low-acid foods, including pumpkin, must be canned using tested pressure canning processes to be safe.

Older methods, such as boiling water canning for vegetables, oven canning, and open-kettle canning, have been discredited and can be hazardous, so follow specific instructions for canning to be safe.

For information on harvesting pumpkins, see the video "When to Pick a Pumpkin" at youtube.com/ watch?v=n8opVlTBYqc.
