TORREY - The Torrey Planning and Zoning Commission plans to submit monthly articles to The Insider in order to keep residents and property owners of Torrey Town updated on its work. Commission members are appointed by the Torrey Town Council. They are Mary Bedingfieldsmith, Amanda Brown, Don Gomes, Aaron Jensen, Richard Jensen, Tracy Potter, and Carrie Torrey. Pearl Thorndal-Stewart serves as the Torrey Town Council liaison to the commission.

Torrey Town Council, following recommendations from Torrey’s 2019 General Plan, tasked the commission with examining the current zoning ordinance and recommending amendments to the Torrey Town Council.

CCAW’s New Animal Care Facility is Underway

Courtesy sArAh tAl

The first wall at the new Color Country Animal Welfare facility in Torrey is up, with hopes to have a finished facility by the spring of 2021.

Local residents will receive a discount for services. This project has been years in the making with an estimated cost of $1.1 million (including the 12 gorgeous acres bordering the Fremont River). Believe it or not, we’re only $38,000 away from reaching that goal, and 90% of donations have been from individuals right here in Wayne County.

Please consider helping us whittle down the final dollars we need to open our doors next year. We are crowdfunding this last bit at ioby. org/project/give-me-shelter.

Check us out there to make a donation or visit our website at ColorCountryAnimalWelfare.org. We’re so close, and we can’t wait to see you next year!

WAYNE COUNTY - The Wayne County Commission Meeting on November 2, 2020 was short and sweet. Commissioners Blackburn, Brian, and Wood were present, as well as County Attorney Mike Olsen and County Clerk Ryan Torgerson. After a prayer for those struggling with COVID and other challenges and the Pledge of Allegiance, the minutes from the last meeting were approved.

The first item of business was a minor subdivision proposal. Jennifer Hunt was requesting permission to divide one acre from her plot for her son to build a house. All necessary documentation was provided including proof of water and a feasibility statement. This request was approved by the commissioners.

Next, the renewal of the Color County Animal Welfare conditional use permit was discussed. The agreement was changed to include language

regarding a compaction test needed given the location’s past use as a gravel pit, perimeter fence requirements, and language recognizing the center’s desire to comply with International Dark-Sky Association lighting, although they are not required to do so. The commissioners approved the permit, which will be reviewed again in four years.

An additional item was added to the agenda related to a letter being submitted to the Utah Department of Transporation requesting funding for a turn lane on the Fish Lake Cut-Off Road. “We definitely need it with all this traffic around here,” noted Commissioner Blackburn regarding the turn lane.

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

Utah Governor Issues Statewide Mask Mandate Four-Point Plan Issued to Address “Alarming” Rise in COVID-19 Cases

TORREY Color Country Animal Welfare’s (CCAW) mission is to reduce the number of stray cats and dogs in Wayne County and advocate for the welfare of all animals. CCAW was founded in 2009 by Dottie Weaver, and since then, we’ve grown a lot—like a Great Pyrenees!

Not only does CCAW help with fixing cats and dogs, we also provide foster care for homeless animals and find them forever homes. But we’ve outgrown our foster families, so we’re building the first and only animal shelter in Wayne County.

Construction on the facility just west of Torrey began in September, and we plan to finish up in the spring.

The facility will provide shelter and adoption for homeless animals, with the added bonus of serving double-duty as pet boarding and doggie daycare.

Wayne County Commission November 2

SALT LAKE CITY - On Sunday evening, Utah Governor Gary Herbert issued an emergency order calling for a statewide mask mandate and several other “critical changes” to the state’s response to COVID-19.

The Governor’s office sent out a statewide emergency alert that was issued to cell phones around 9pm, followed by a televised address which aired at 9:30pm.

In his address, Governor Herbert stated that the new guidelines “are not shutting down our economy, but are absolutely necessary to save lives and hospital capacity.”

“The number of infections in our state is growing at an alarming rate…medical professionals are exhausted and spread too thin. Our doctors and nurses are pleading for our help. The stakes are high.”

Utah is currently experiencing record COVID-19 case numbers, averaging over 2,000 new infections per day.

Active COVID hospitalizations statewide were 424 on Sunday, up from 299 two weeks ago, with hospitals reaching their capacity. Governor Herbert said the state of emergency and new measures are necessary to address hospital overcrowding.

Clark's Nutcraker—a Christmas Bird Count regular.

ESCALANTE / BOULDER - With so many events cancelled or postponed this year, I was surprised and delighted when Audubon announced it would not cancel this year’s Christmas Bird Count. Instead, they left it up to individual compilers to decide whether to run their CBCs or not, but there are rules which must be followed.

Counts must be run in a safe and socially-distanced manner: 1) No group gatherings, which means no morning orientation and no evening potluck to revel in the day (my favorite part!); 2) No carpooling,

Do not allow setbacks to set you back.

except within already-isolating “pods.” If you bird with someone outside your pod, take separate vehicles and adhere to safe practices when outside them.

The CBC is one of my favorite activities, and I did not want to skip this year’s. The count regulars I talked with and the Boulder CBC compiler felt the same way. So, we are going to do it! Even if we have fewer participants than usual, we can come up with a good list if we cover the birdiest areas. If you would like to participate, here are some things you need to know:

When is the Count?

The Escalante count will be on Monday, 14 December.

The Boulder count will be on Wednesday, 16 December.

Counts run from midnight to midnight. You can count during any or all of that period.

Boulder Town Council November

BOULDER - The November Boulder Town Council meeting was held over Zoom.

Mayor Steve Cox began by recognizing that two members of the community, Dell LeFevre and Bob Brems, have recently passed, both of whom served their country and then returned to serve their community here in Boulder.

More money is available to Boulder through the CARES Act grant, which can be used for COVIDrelated costs. Boulder has about $40,000 that they must allocate by November 30, and spend by December 30. Ideas include paying for the Zoom account and other internet costs; upgrading computer equipment for the Boulder Town Clerks; and purchasing an air sanitizing system for the Boulder Community Center. An estimate of $4,200 has been received for getting an air system, which would include three units. The upkeep cost would be $450 per unit every two years. This system would help mitigate not only COVID risk, but also other bacteria and mold in the air.

Discussion followed. More information will be gathered about whether it will be possible to turn the system off when not in use for long periods of time. It was brought up that there are more uses

Cox reported that he met with BLM representatives for a final meeting to turn over the park property lease to the town. The paperwork should be completed within the next few months.

UDOT was contacted about the lack of mowing that has occurred this year on the sides of the highway.

They stated that they had not mowed because of the fire hazard. Once moisture comes, they will hopefully mow the roadsides.

It was recognized that the Halloween Stroll went off incredibly well, and would be a good option for future Halloweens.

Public comments followed. The recent article in The Insider [Commissioner David Tebbs was misquoted in the October 26 Garfield County Commission meeting report as saying that the ban would end at the end of February. According to the Bureau of Land Management wesbite, "Utah’s closure on open burning on private unincorporated land has been extended until Nov. 30."] that stated that the fire ban in Garfield County will go until February is incorrect; it will actually go until the end of November.

The Boulder Town Council meets on the first Thursday of every month at 7pm.

Mask Mandate: There is no legislation or executive order that can mandate

civility, respect, and basic consideration for others. This is about so much more than just mandates. This is about personal responsibility. I implore you to do everything in your power to stop the spread of this disease. We must work together to keep infections low, until a vaccine is available.—Governor Gary Herbert Cont'd from page 1

In his announcement, Herbert issued a four-point plan, which included a mask mandate for an indefinite period of time, plus mandates to curtail social gatherings and postponement of school sports activities until November 23, as well as a statewide plan for COVID testing.

“Because scientists and medical experts overwhelmingly recommend masks as an effective way to limit the spread of COVID-19, I am placing the entire state under a mask mandate, until further notice,” said Herbert. “We cannot afford to debate this issue any longer.”

Under the mandate, masks must be worn in public spaces except when a person is eating or drinking, exercising while social distancing, or when performing before an audience.

Noting that the incubation period of COVID-19 is approximately two weeks, Herbert placed specific restrictions on social gatherings and school sports from November 9 until November 23.

During this time, Utahns may not participate in or host casual social gatherings with individuals other than those in their immediate household.

“We will not tolerate organizers of public gatherings that do not exercise the required precautions of social distancing and mask wear-

ing. State and local authorities will prosecute and hold accountable those who organize such events and gatherings.

Organizers will be subject to fines of up to $10,000 per occurrence.”

The requirement extends until just before Thanksgiving, and Herbert said that the Governor’s office will share holiday recommendations and directives “in the coming days.”

During this two-week period, high school sports and all other after school activities will be postponed, with the exception of high school playoff and championship games, and also intercollegiate sports.

“The postponement will give us an opportunity to put in place testing of student athletes,” said Herbert.

“Students should not gather in social groups outside of school hours during the next two weeks. And must be very careful thereafter,” he said.

Herbert said that data show that individuals aged 15-24 “have not been careful,” and represent the age group with the highest rates of spread, although they may be asymptomatic.

Lastly, Herbert said that state public health teams will significantly expand testing operations, testing more people who have symptoms and also launch a targeted testing program for those who don’t have symptoms. This will include weekly testing for university students and expand to include testing for high school

students who participate in extracurricular activities, people in the workplace under 35, and high school teachers.

Herbert added that the state will expand the role of the Utah National Guard in testing and contact tracing.

The Governor emphasized that, “this is not a shutdown of our economy or of Utah’s businesses. Utah is open for business. You can shop, dine in, carry out, exercise, worship and recreate. We are simply saying stay within your household group whenever possible, particularly for the next two weeks.”

“Let’s find the means to help each other through

this difficult time,” Herbert stressed.

In addition, he emphasized, “Get your flu shot,” and “If your needs are immediate and critical, please call 211.”

In closing, Herbert said, “There is no legislation or executive order that can mandate civility, respect, and basic consideration for others. This is about so much more than just mandates. This is about personal responsibility. I implore you to do everything in your power to stop the spread of this disease. We must work together to keep infections low, until a vaccine is available.”

Tasking of the Torrey P & Z Commission with examining the current zoning ordinance and recommending amendments to the Torrey Town Council discussed, including postcard invitation to property owners to assist in a Citizens’ Research Group.

Torrey P & Z

card invited all Torrey property owners to participate in a Citizens’ Research Group to assist the planning commission in the creation of an amended zoning ordinance for Torrey Town. Those who responded and volunteered formed into a group chaired

by Carrie Torrey. Group members put in over 720 hours of work. They studied Torrey’s current zoning ordinance, its General Plan, and zoning ordinances in other similar small western towns.

They researched many zoning issues including setbacks, compatibility, buffering, and various kinds of land uses such as commercial, residential, mixed-use, and agriculture.

On October 28, The Citizens’ Research Group presented recommendations to the Torrey Planning and Zoning Commission. Part of

the discussion included ways to keep the ordinance simple and user-friendly while, at the same time, as precise as possible. Following recommendations from the 2019 General Plan, a long-term goal of the Torrey Planning and Zoning Commission is to support the Torrey Town Council in the development of local businesses, while protecting the quality of life of Torrey residents and property owners and preserving the unique qualities and beauty of Torrey.

Before the Torrey Planning and Zoning Commission makes its recommendations to the Torrey Town Council, Bruce Parker of Planning Development Services will review the current draft of the zoning ordinance. Mr. Parker is a planner with over thirty years of experience helping many Utah towns—Ivins, Leeds, Beaver, Fillmore, Richfield, and more—with their zoning ordinances. Bruce is highly regarded in his field. His job will

be to read the draft in detail, looking for omissions, contradictions, and weaknesses in language and for alignment with the Torrey General Plan.

The Torrey Planning and Zoning Commission hopes to forward the recommended ordinance the Torrey Town Council by the end of 2020.

The Torrey Town Council plans to have the new ordinance adopted by February of 2021. There will be several opportunities for the public to give input at scheduled meetings, including a public hearing, before the ordinance is finalized. Dates and times for those meetings will be announced. The planning commission can be contacted with questions or recommendations at pandz@torreyutah.gov or by calling 435.425.3600.

Torrey Town Council meetings are held on the 2nd Thursday of every month at 7:00 p.m. June - Oct. and 6:30 p.m Nov. - May—unless otherwise noted.

Does Pinterest know?

Debunking Food Preservation and Storage Advice If you have jumped onto a blog or Pinterest lately, some people have been advocating some very potentially hazardous food preservation and storage practices on foods meant for room temperature storage like homecanned butter, Vaseline covered eggs, and wax covered cheeses All of these foods may potentially lead to botulism or other foodborne illnesses if they are stored at room temperature.

Canning Butter - While there are several canned but-

ter products that can be purchased in the grocery store, methods to can butter at home have not been developed. Furthermore, salt is the key to preventing botulism growth in commercially canned butter, and some of the circulating methods make no mention of salt or using salted butter.

Vaseline covered eggs Covering eggs in Vaseline for room temperature storage is simply dangerous. There is no sound principle of food preservation being applied here what-so-ever. This is quite the opposite—conditions are being created to favor foodborne illness microorganisms.

Wax covered cheese The wax covering on cheese is used to prevent mold growth.

Refrigeration is required to slow and prevent bacterial growth (including bacteria that can cause foodborne illness). Placing wax covered cheese at room temperature will encourage rapid bacterial growth and become a dangerous hazard for foodborne illness.

When in doubt, always call your cooperative extension office about questionable food preservation and storage practices. You can also consult the USU Food Safety Program website at https://extension. usu.edu/foodsafety/programs.

Wayne Middle School 1st Quarter Honor Roll

Fun during Halloween weekend, Bryce Valley Elementary is spotlighting veterans for Veteran's Day, and Sharlize Singleton wins 1st quarter faculty award

Fun was had by all over the Halloween weekend. The seniors did a "spook-alley" and sold tamales. There was an outdoor craft fair, followed by kids games, spike ball and corn hole tournaments, and a to-go dinner by the juniors.

A special thanks goes to the community council, Bryce

Valley Prevention Coalition, and the Bryce Valley PTA for a wonderfully safe weekend for everyone.

Bryce Valley Elementary is spotlighting veterans in the halls of the elementary. They encourage families to fill out the paper that was sent home. They are also having a COVID-safe program on Wednesday, November 11th to honor our local veterans.

The Bryce Valley Principal, Mr. Peterson, gives an award each quarter to the faculty. Sharlize Singleton won the award for 1st quarter.

Congratulations to her for her hard work and dedication to her job.

Mrs. Overson and Mrs. Peterson are encouraging the

students at Bryce Valley High School to read more. J.K. Rowling said, “If you don’t like to read, you haven’t found the right book.” They have a Bingo game they are doing with prizes donated by the Bryce Valley Prevention Coalition. We hope everyone can participate and win some great prizes!

Bryce Valley’s local FBLA, FCCLA, FFA and Debate chapters/teams have started planning for this year’s competitions. These programs are an asset to our school and can be very helpful to those participating.

Each student learns skills, completes projects, presents ideas, and interviews to judges. All these can be helpful in their future. If anyone is interested, talk to the advisors and ask about joining.

Survivor’s Checklist and Legal Procedures at Death One of the greatest challenges in this life is the loss of a loved one. Unfortunately, in addition to the terrible, emotional strain associated with this loss, there are many legal issues that must be addressed.

This article attempts to provide a brief checklist of some of the legal issues that should be addressed upon the passing of a loved one.

Legal Documents: Determine whether the deceased left a will, trust or other documents to take effect upon death. Whether there is a will or trust will effect how the estate administration should proceed. If there is no will or trust, state laws will govern the administration process.

It should be noted that powers of attorney that may have been used while the decedent was alive terminate upon death.

Individuals Cared for by the Deceased: Minor children or incapacitated adults that were being cared for by the deceased must have someone else appointed to take care of their needs.

Usually, a court will appoint a guardian and/or conservator for the minor or incapacitated adult. This person can be designated in the deceased’s will.

by JeFFery J. MCkennA Inventory of Assets: It is very important to locate all of the deceased’s assets and ensure that they are protected and sufficiently insured. Secure and inventory family heirlooms, antiques and other personal property items of value. If the deceased lived alone, it may be wise to promptly change the locks on the home. In doing an inventory of the assets, it is helpful to take photos or videos.

Payment of Creditors: Determine that there are sufficient assets in the estate to cover funeral expenses and other debts before paying any bills. If some creditors are paid and it is later determined that there are insufficient assets to pay others, there can be problems.

Social Security: Contact the social security office to determine what benefit, if any, may be available for the surviving spouse and/or minor children.

Tax Returns: Often, state and federal tax returns including the deceased’s final 1040 income tax return, the estate or trust’s 1041 income tax return.

The preceding is a brief list of some of the items that should be considered upon a loved one’s death. Although

She had promised their two boys, Grant and Cole, an ice cream cone after supper for their super behavior at the dentist earlier that day.

They were rushing around that evening, and she asked the boys if they could just have ice cream in a bowl that night. Grant, 4, quickly replied with his mother's own words, "That is nice asking, Mom, but no. We want our ice cream cone."

FYI PanguItch

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Winter is finally here! The weatherman said it would snow at 9 a.m., and it did. Then, he said it would snow again at 3 p.m., and it did. I wish it didn’t get windy when these storms hit. I think we would get a lot more of the white stuff if it didn’t. We are supposed to get some more on Wednesday, hopefully.

Last year, we got our biggest storms in November. We sure can use all we can get.

November is from the Latin word novem—meaning "nine”—because this had been the ninth month on the early Roman calendar.

I sure had a great birthday. I woke up on Saturday morning, and there was a party going on all over the world.

It didn’t take me too long to figure out that it wasn’t for me. We have a new presidentelect, Joe Biden. Joe won the Democratic vote by over 6 million votes. Unless something happens, he also won the Electoral College by 310 to 224 votes. This was by far the most votes ever cast. The president also broke the record for the most votes ever, but Joe Biden surpassed that number

by about six million votes. In 2016, Garfield County had the highest percentage of votes in the state at 80%, and I would expect that to be even better this year. Way to go. Every vote counts, and every vote needs to be counted.

Well, some of my friends who are followers of the president feel that the virus is a hoax and will go away after the election. Well, they were right [in a way]. The only thing on the news for five straight days was vote counting, and, boy, was it in slow motion. However, when we got back to what else was happening in the news, the virus had got tenout of control. In three days, they had cases over 100,000 and peaked at 124,000 and we have now over 10 million cases and 245,000 have died. Utah is getting a lot of news because we have the highest percentage of any state in the country.

Last week, we had a day with over 3,100 cases. St. George had one day last week of 31 cases, and they are running out of rooms to put them into.

Utah's Governor Herbert refuses to mandate wearing masks in the state [As of

November 8—after the writing of this article—Governor Herbert has issued a statewide mask mandate for Utah]. He doesn’t want to upset the president. He says that it is up to the mayors and the county commissioners to do this.

There are only a few counties that can go without masks, and one is Kane County.

When you see pictures of hundreds of kids at a Halloween party, without masks, having the police move in to break up the party, you wonder what they are thinking about. Politicians are celebrating their elections, shaking hands with their friends, without masks on. Then, they turn around and close businesses because they have too many patrons.

Yesterday was Veteran's Day, and it is a day that we should all pause to give thanks to all of those that served their country in order to keep us all safe from harm. Many have paid the ultimate price with their life. I have given our Veteran's Dinner a lot of thought, and, instead of cancelling it, we are going to postpone it until sometime in the spring.

We did that with the Easter Egg Hunt, and it went well on

July 4th. So, veterans, I owe you a nice evening out, and you can hold me to it.

No sports for a while.

The boys basketball team's season starts with a game at Millard on November 20.

They play four more road games before they have a home game on December 19 against Piute. The Lady Cats also start on the road with a game on November 20 vs. Rich at SVC, but they do have a home game against Enterprise on November 24.

Wrestling starts here at the Panguitch Invitational on December 4 - 5. The wrestlers have most of last year’s State Championship team and should rule the mats. The boys basketball team have all of their team back from last year except one and should be really good this year.

I was watching Fox News last week, when they asked a man what he thought of the election. He said it was like waking up from a four year nightmare, and the whole world has come alive.

Amen.

Mask up, Panguitch!

O bituaries Florence Frandsen

PANGUITCH - Our mother, Florence Kaye Henrie Frandsen was born in Panguitch Utah on June 17, 1942. She was the only daughter of George and Neucile Henrie. Her older brothers were Jerald and Carl and a younger brother Wally. Mom graduated from Panguitch High in 1960, where she met Dan Frandsen during her senior year. They dated for six weeks previous to his mission to Denmark. While waiting for Dan to return in 1962, she graduated from Ex-Cel-Cis Beauty Salon and School. She received a ring from Dan while he was still on his mission, then, upon his return, they were married two weeks later in the St. George Temple on May 12, 1963. Our mother was reunited with her eternal companion, and the love of her life, on November 6, 2020.

Mom loved children and family. As a young couple, Mom and Dad had two children, LaCida and Dan, then 27 different foster children. One child was so wonderful that they couldn't let her go, and Tina joined our family. Later, David and Jared were born, bringing the total to 5.

While living in Duchesne, Utah, they desperately wanted to move back home to Panguitch to raise their family. In 1979, they moved back to Panguitch and opened Panguitch Floral and Gift. Everyone who knew Mom felt loved. Everyone was her friend, and she never had enough friends.

Mom was a woman of many talents. She drew, painted, crocheted, and more—if she wanted to create it, she could. But it was as a florist for 24 years that her talents blessed all in her community. Mom loved running the floral shop. She loved the flowers and creating beauty, but her favorite part was all the people she met and all the friends she made. Mom was a great example of honesty, as we watched her as she always strived to be honest and giving in her work. If she learned that someone was unhappy, she went out of her way to make it right. Mom had a huge heart. There were years where Mom felt bad on Memorial Day that some graves didn't have any flowers on them, so she decided that every grave should have something on it. Mom would use her talents and resources to place flowers on every grave that didn’t have any so no one would be left out.

Because of Mom and what we called "Henrie Humor," our home has always been full of laughter. Game night and laughter was a common event growing up. Many nights, we would leave Mom's home with our cheeks hurting from a night of laughter. With Mom you never knew what to expect; it might be a gummy worm sandwich in your lunch, or using a flirtatious pick up line on Dad while in the supermarket. She loved life, and made life fun for everyone around her.

Mom and Dad planned a mission after their retirement, but on Dad’s passing in 2006, Mom made it her mission to do temple work. She submitted literally thousands of names for temple work and made many lifelong friends while working in the temple.

One thing we will always treasure is that she was always there to support her children and grandchildren in all they did.

Whether she enjoyed it or not, if her family enjoyed it, then she was all in. We always knew if we were out late that Mom would be up waiting before she could sleep.

We love her and will miss her greatly, and we are so grateful for all the amazing gifts she gave us because she was our mother.

Survived by her 5 children: LaCinda (Dean) Higley, Danny (Teresa), Tina, David (Cherri) and Jared (Melissa); 17 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren, and many more to come; brothers, Carl (Judy) Henrie, Chris Henrie; sister-in-law, Sherril England.

Florence was preceded in death by her husband Daniel Frandsen; parents; brothers: Jerald and Wally.

Funeral services will be held Thursday [today], November 12, 2020 at 1:00 p.m. in the Panguitch 2nd LDS Ward Chapel.

Due to COVID-19, attendees will be required to wear a mask and there will be a restriction of 99 attendees for the funeral services. No public viewing will be held. Burial will be in the Panguitch Cemetery. Funeral Directors: Magleby Mortuary, Richfield, Salina and Manti Online guestbook at www.maglebymortuary.com

November 16 - November 22

by John Mosley The Sky Report is presented as a public service by the Stellar Vista Observatory, a nonprofit organization based in Kanab, Utah, which provides opportunities for people to observe, appreciate, and comprehend our starry night sky. Additional information is at www.stellarvistaobservatory.org. Send questions and comments to John@StargazingAdventures.org.

For months, Jupiter and Saturn have been near each other in the evening sky, and they’re still there—now a quarter of the way up the southwest sky as darkness falls. Jupiter is brilliant and fainter. Saturn is just 4° to the upper left of Jupiter. They’re a nice pair that are growing closer week by week, and they’ll be at their closest— much closer than now—in one month. They comfortably fit in the field of view of binoculars—a rare chance to see two planets simultaneously in binoculars. Hold them steady, and you might spot Jupiter’s four largest moons, but Saturn’s rings need about 30 power to become barely visible.

Mars is not quite as bright as Jupiter, but it’s still far brighter than any star— and oranger too—and you’ll see it almost halfway up the southeast sky as the night begins. It’s at its highest at 10

p.m., and it sets at 4 a.m. Until Venus rises 90 minutes later, there are no bright planets in the sky. Mars is 52 million miles away—not as close as it was six weeks ago but still closer and brighter than it will be for the next two years. Mars is in Pisces, a large constellation with no bright stars.

Venus and Mercury are in the morning sky. Venus remains brilliant, and you can’t miss it. You can easily miss much fainter Mercury, which is about 14° below Venus at the 7 o’clock position. You’ll need a dead-flat horizon to see Mercury. Both Venus and Mercury are on the far side of the sun. The bright star to the right of Venus is Spica in Virgo.

You’ll read a lot about the Leonid Meteor Shower— which peaks on the morning of the 17th—but it’s all hype.

Don’t believe it. You’ll be lucky to see a few meteors an hour. So, unless you special-

ize in meteor showers, give it a miss. Wait for the Geminids next month, which are worth watching if you can brave the cold.

If you have a small telescope, point it to Comet ATLAS C/2020 M3 now visible in Orion. Google the comet’s full name for maps and details.

Meanwhile Comet Erasmus C/2020 S3 is brightening and is also within reach of small telescopes just before sunrise for the next few weeks only. It’s roughly 20° to the right of Venus.

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.

News from Wayne County Ass-fault

by Adus F. dorsey ii If you haven’t had the opportunity to travel on the new apron of asphalt from Bicknell to Torrey, well, let me tell you that it is superb.

Depending on the conditions of your tires and how loudly you like to play your car stereo, the ride is as smooth as something you might expect to find on—lets just say—the Autobahn, (The official German term is Bundesautobahn, abbreviated BAB) which translates as "federal motorway." The literal meaning of the word Bundesautobahn is "Federal Auto(mobile) Track." Having never been to Germany, I really don’t know for sure what that means or how the Autobahn might feel. For someone with an active imagination, the term Autobahn conjures up something Wayne County needs between Torrey and Bicknell.

Time, tickets and insurance claims might tell a different story, but who is keeping track.

A big shout out to the Chapman and Brown Brothers Construction companies for keeping things interesting on the highway, especially our good buddy “Whitey” for moving traffic at and up to Mach speeds between the dreaded streetlights.

For those of us that reside and hideout down here in the banana belt—and in the land of over regulation—wacky

ordinances, Trump flags and bulletin board monitors, life continues to be about what one would expect, which is a bit unsettled and on edge.

Word on the street is that the Wayne County militia has been monitoring certain kinds of covert activity on the outskirts of Torrey.(?) Like the term Bundesautobahn, I really don’t exactly know what that means. Being a Boy Scouts alumni, and before there is a major run on all things building Adus dorsey materials at Loa Builders, I have used part of November 9 marked the 99th my home equity loan birthday of Barbara Pace. funds to purchase a few "Now there is a woman that has sheets of double strength seen it all and lived to tell and sew plywood for my win- about it."—Adus Dorsey dows, just in case.

Although, politics seem to have been on everyone’s mind lately, (some a lot more than others) life does go on.

Just ask Grandma Barbara Pace. November 9th marks her 99th birthday. Now, there is a woman that has seen it all and lived to tell and sew about it. In her treasure chest of life, Grandma Pace claims that family and friends are what we should and need to value the most. She says, “If you don’t believe so, try to live without them, and see how it makes you feel?”

Happy Birthday, Grandma Pace. We love you.

BICKNELL - It is with sorrow, we announce the passing of our beloved Baby Kate. Kathryn Sage Jeffs, age 13, passed away peacefully at Primary Children’s Hospital on November 6, 2020. Baby Kate was born in Reno, Nevada on December 18, 2006. Shortly after her birth, her family moved back to Utah. She spent the majority of her life in Bicknell, Utah.

Baby Kate fought a courageous lifelong battle from day one. Even the best medical minds were unable to determine the cause of her ailments, and she was often referred to as a puzzle. At age 9, with advancements made in the medical field, she was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder known as Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation (CDG). There is still not much known of this disease that she fought with resilience and fortitude.

Although she may have been a puzzle in some ways, she was well-known and loved by all. Even with her condition, she lived a generally healthy and very happy life.

With the help of some of the best assistants, she was able to attend school on a daily basis. With the help of loving family and many loving friends, she was able to go for rides in her wagon, lay in the grass or on the trampoline while outside with the family, snuggle with the dog, enjoy soft blankets, and go camping. Most people who knew Baby Kate will likely remember her big blue eyes, and eye lashes long enough to make any girl jealous.

Baby Kate will be forever remembered by mother, Brooke Pierro; father and stepmother Myron and Felicia Jeffs; sister, Callee (Shaidyn) Killpack; niece Reignlee Killpack; brothers: Colton and Ike Jeffs; brothers Kash and Kade Nielson; grandparents: Steve and Denise Pierro, Lee and Pam Jeffs, and Jay (deceased) and Lorraine Frandsen; great-grandparents: Dennis and Kathy Patterson, and Von (deceased) and Betty Frandsen; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and caretakers.

Funeral services will be conducted by Magleby Mortuary. A celebration of her life will be held on Thursday [today], November 12, 2020 in Bicknell, Utah at the Thurber Chapel. Due to COVID-19, attendees will be required to wear a mask, and there will be a restriction of 99 attendees. A viewing will take place from 9:00 - 10:30 a.m. for all those wishing to visit; a private family service will follow. Burial will be at the cemetery in Castle Dale, Utah that afternoon.

Halloween Stroll: I loved being able to be with my

friends. I liked how from some people you grabbed candy and others you had to say 'trunk-or-treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat.' —Magnolia Apperson, first grader Halloween Stroll

Cont'd from page 1

and needed to make sure that enough children would participate to make it fun.” Other parents, including Ana Sanders, Alex Fuller, Jill Trombley, and Rachel McFadden, were enthusiastic about the idea and joined with Hilton to plan it.

This communication between parents made another aspect of Halloween clearer as well: beyond the complications of Halloween in the time of COVID, Halloween in Boulder has always posed special challenges, given the spread out nature of houses throughout town. Centralizing a Halloween event could not only give community members a chance to celebrate this year, but could be the perfect

solution for future years as well.

The parents had the idea to close down the street stretching from the Boulder Town Hall, past the school, to the intersection of 200 S, and have residents provide candy from the backs of their cars, or from tables or tarps. The event followed CDC protocols, including requiring masks, social distancing, and having those offering candy put them in a designated place for children to take, rather than handing the candy out directly.

Those in attendance were also asked to stay in family groups of less than ten people. Donations were taken on behalf of BES, with funds raised to be used for teacher development programs.

Planning the event took countless hours on Hilton’s end. Hilton, who grew up in Boulder but has moved to Colorado, has been back in Boulder this year and currently has two children enrolled in the school. “People have jokingly asked me to just go ahead and make the calls next year from Denver,” she said. “The great thing about it is, nobody will need to make those calls next year. The people that I had to

talk into coming this year had a great time! They’ll come again because they really want to,” she continued.

The community agrees with Hilton on this. The Halloween Stroll celebration was well-attended, with most of the town’s children present to show off their costumes and enjoy the enchanting, still-warm October evening.

Witches, ghouls, and cats; sea creatures, ballerinas, and circus members; superheroes, birds and bats strolled between well-decorated cars, featuring haunted canoes and spooky games. “I loved being able to be with my friends,” said first grader Magnolia Apperson. She continued, “I liked how from some people you grabbed candy and others you had to say 'trunk-ortreat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat.'”

The Halloween Stroll was a sparkling reminder in a difficult time of how important it is to find ways to adapt, ensuring health and safety while also enjoying time together as a community.
