Design by PHS Student Elise Sarles Chosen in GCSD Christmas Card Contest

by Tessa Barkan

Dec. 2021 BOULDER - The December 2021 Boulder Planning Commission (PC) meeting began with a staff report given by PC Secretary Peg Smith, starting with the budget. The total PC budget for the fiscal year is $10,000.

They have spent just under $7,000 so far. The PC budget accounts for staff salaries and wages, employee benefits, and other expenditures. An election will occur at the next PC meeting to determine the next chair and vice-chair.

Discussion on the hydrology study followed. The next step would be for the PC to write up a proposal. Much of the groundwork and discussion was done at the previous PC meeting. They are considering a phase study, beginning with gathering available information and possibly starting to more closely monitor a few wells in town. If the cost for consultation work from Cascade Water Resources is over $1,000, they will need to solicit bids.

Capitol Reef National Park celebrates 50 years as a national park on December 18, 2021.

TORREY - Capitol Reef National Park will celebrate its 50th year as a national park on December 18, 2021, with the celebration continuing throughout 2022.

Over the next year, the park will share stories, historic events, visitor experiences, and visions of the future through social media posts, community events, and ranger-led programs. Special 50th anniversary items are for sale in the Capitol Reef Natural History Association store located in the park visitor center.

Today, over 1.2 million people visit the park annually. For 50 years, Capitol Reef National Park visitors have been learning, recreating, and forming connections with nature, the past, and each other. Use the hashtag #CapitolReef50 to share personal

stories and memories of your time visiting the park.

After years of local advocacy by Ephraim Pectol and Joseph Hickman, among others, Capitol Reef was established as a national monument by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1937. An Act of Congress designated Capitol Reef National Park in 1971 to preserve the striking geologic landscape including the Waterpocket Fold, Cathedral Valley and their associated ecosystems, as well as magnificent scenery, rich human history, scientific value, and wilderness character.

Utah Hits $100 Million in Pandemic Rental Assistance Distributed SALT LAKE CITY Utah marked a milestone of the Emergency Rental Assistance Program with the distribution of $100 million in assistance to help renters stay in their homes since March 2021. Utah received $215 million in federal funds for the program, as a partnership of five entities: the Utah Department of Workforce Services, Salt Lake City and Salt Lake, Davis and Utah counties. Including administrative costs, the state has spent more than 50% of its allocated funds.

The program in Utah has paid more than 21,000 applications. Most applications cover more than one month of rent and other costs.

“We are pleased that we have been able to help so many Utahns, but of equal importance is that there is still assistance available!” said Christina Oliver, director Rental Assistance Cont'd on page 2

with a $100 Amazon gift card to reward her efforts.

On behalf of the district staff and patrons, we would like to congratulate Elise for her efforts this holiday season.

SALT LAKE CITY Utah's Watershed Restoration Initiative works to improve and restore high-priority watersheds and habitats throughout the state, and a record number of acres were proactively treated during this past fiscal year—between July 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021.

Created in 2006, this Utah Department of Natural

Resources partnership-based program focuses on improving watershed health and biological diversity, increasing water quality and yield, and improving opportunities for sustainable uses of natural resources.

Between 2020–21, 147,215 acres were restored and improved, the most in a single fiscal year since the program began 15 years ago. Another

74,910 acres were rehabilitated after wildfires, for a total of 222,125 acres restored in that same timeframe. Over 1.3 million pounds of seed were mixed and spread on various landscapes (including those burned by fires) across Utah.

Crews completed 174 habitat restoration projects, Restoration Projects Cont'd on page 3

I noticed in the Dec. 8 report on the Wayne County Commission meeting, a reference to a citizen asserting that a person who must live in a voting precinct must reside for 180 consecutive days in order to vote in that precinct.

That information is incorrect. The controlling Utah statute is U.C.A 20A-2-101 [see Insider note]. Under Utah law, The only "length of time" residence requirement for voter registration and voting is residence in the state of Utah for 30 days immediately preceding the election.

Scott Berry, Salt Lake City/Torrey/Boulder Insider Note: Following is the Utah statute regarding eligibility for voter registration: Utah Code 20A-2-101. Eligibility for registration. Effective 5/14/2019: (1) Except as provided in Subsection (2), an individual may register to vote in an election who: (a) is a citizen of the United States; (b) has been a resident of Utah for at least the 30 days immediately before the election; (c) will be: (i) at least 18 years of age on the day of the election; or (ii) if the election is a regular primary election, a municipal primary election, or a presidential primary election: (A) 17 years of age on or before the day of the regular primary election, municipal primary election, or presidential primary election; and (B) 18 years of age on or before the day of the general election that immediately follows the regular primary election, municipal primary election, or presidential primary election; and (d) currently resides within the voting district or precinct in which the individual applies to register to vote.

(2)(a)(i) An individual who is involuntarily confined or incarcerated in a jail, prison, or other facility within a voting precinct is not a resident of that voting precinct and may not register to vote in that voting precinct unless the individual was a resident of that voting precinct before the confinement or incarceration. (ii) An individual who is involuntarily confined or incarcerated in a jail or prison is a resident of the voting precinct in which the individual resided before the confinement or incarceration.

Rental Assistance: Emergency

Rental Assistance has been an important program over the past year to help renters stay in their homes during a difficult time.

Both on the Wasatch Front and in rural Utah, I’ve watched how hard government and community partners are working to assist those in need, and I encourage anyone who is having trouble paying rent to apply.

—Tara Rollins, executive director of the Utah Housing Coalition Rental Assistance

Cont'd from page 1

of the Housing and Community Development Division of Workforce Services. “We encourage anyone who is having trouble paying their rent to visit the website, learn more about eligibility and apply.”

Assistance is available for renters who have a household income of 80% or below of area median income and have been directly or indirectly financially impacted by the pandemic. Examples of such impacts could be reduced hours or job loss, medical impacts, or caring for a family member. Rental assistance can cover current, past and three months of prospective rent, eligible fees, security deposit, utilities, internet and home energy costs.

Landlords can also apply on behalf of their tenants.

“Emergency Rental Assistance has been an important program over the past year to help renters stay in

their homes during a difficult time,” said Tara Rollins, executive director of the Utah Housing Coalition. “Both on the Wasatch Front and in rural Utah, I’ve watched how hard government and community partners are working to assist those in need, and I encourage anyone who is having trouble paying rent to apply.”

Each of the five partner entities received funds from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, but at the outset of the program, they determined to move forward as a single partnership to eliminate any potential confusion from those who need assistance.

People in any city or county in the state can apply via one application found at rentrelief.utah.gov. Regardless of whether the funds technically come from a city, county or the state, the experience for the applicant is the same.

More information and the application can be found at rentrelief.utah.gov.

Santa was a big hit with the kids at the 2021 Wayne County Holiday Boutique.

I’d like to say that the Holiday Boutique went of without a hitch. But a week before Thanksgiving I found myself in the hospital due to respiratory complications with COVID. I could not have pulled it off if not for the wonderful volunteers. Thank you, Sherrie Anderson, Susan Chappell and Jakelle Pace. The boutique would not have happened with out your love and support.

I’d like to also thank all the wonderful businesses who generously donated to help: Bruce and Ramona Brown, Ramona and Kesha Larsen, Brian Farm Service, Dwight & Catherine Milke, Loa Builders, The Bicknell Theatre, Marina’s Café, Outlaw Roost, Ellets Service, Jackson Excavation, Broken Spur, Karen Ellet, Don & LaRane Bone, Mascaro Realty, Marsha Chappell, Kerry & Sherrie Anderson, Gary & Monte Laing, Steve & Sharon Gurr, Colleen Bagley, Kimber Wood, Bill & Susan Chappell, Tips & Toes Salon, Royal's Food Town, H & R Construction, Christina Brown Design, Richard & Frannie Lloyd, Mary Sorenson, Allie Brown, Milly Edwards, Lisa Jeppson, Thomas Taylor, Circle Cliff Ranch and Linda’s Floral and Gifts.

He told me that all the children he saw that day were on the nice list this year.

I want to thank all the wonderful people of Wayne County and beyond who came out and supported us and Bruce & Ramona Brown. The money we raised will help them with medical costs. Bruce was in Utah Valley Hospital for 67 days; he underwent open heart surgery, developed COVID and pneumonia and was on dialysis. He’s now in a rehabilitation center and getting a bit better with each day. Ramona also had COVID and was in the hospital with respiratory problems; she’s also on the mend.

We’re going to do again next year. I hope it will grow and be bigger and better with each passing year and that we can help families in Wayne County who are in need of our support. Thank you again, you wonderful people of Wayne Count. You’re all so wonderful!

resulting in 223 miles of stream improvements. Over $43 million of total funding was invested by various partners to pay for the different restoration projects.

Part of the funding for these projects comes from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Habitat Council.

In 1995, the Utah Legislature created the Wildlife Habitat Account (Habitat Council), which is funded by a portion of revenue from the fees customers pay for licenses, permits, stamps and certificates of registration. Money deposited into this account can be used for the enhancement, preservation, management, acquisition and protection of fish and wildlife habitat and for improving access for hunting and fishing. Between 2020–21, the Habitat Coun-

cil contributed $3.2 million to restoration projects, land/ water acquisitions and maintenance of Utah's wildlife and waterfowl management areas.

Habitat work through this program includes: • Aerial seeding after a wildfire.

• Removing encroaching trees for sagebrush preservation and rangeland fire management.

• Prescribed fires to reduce fire fuels in an area (which reduces the risk of a catastrophic wildfire) and to enhance the aspen habitat utilized by many wildlife species.

• Stream restoration through various techniques, including an innovative method of building artificial beaver dams. This unique dammimicking technique was conceptualized in Utah and decreases erosion, raises river levels and even im-

proves water quality.

• Planting shrubs and sagebrush to provide feed and shelter for mule deer, sagegrouse and other wildlife species.

"Because of Utah's desert climate, these proactive projects to improve wildlife habitat and watershed health throughout the state are crucial," WRI Program Director Tyler Thompson said. "We are especially grateful to the many funding partners who make this restoration work possible."

Since 2006, this program has improved over 2.25 million acres of Utah's landscapes through 2,460 restoration projects and has created an estimated 5,500 jobs. Visit the WRI website to see where these projects have taken place across the state.

Boulder Planning: The Planning Commission budget,

the hydrology study, the amendments to the subdivision ordinance, and the pros and cons of various road options discussed.

Boulder Planning Cont'd from page 1

tinued discussing the amendments to the subdivision ordinance. The initial intention of creating amendments was to allow ten acre lots to be split into two five acre lots. This is not allowed in the existing ordinances, as currently the acreage of access roads gets taken out of the acreage for the lot, so that the lots end up being less than five acres each and, therefore, do not meet the five acre minimum rule. The way the amendments were written, however, would prohibit private roads by requiring that all driveways for future lots come off of a public/ dedicated road. Town Planner Lee Nellis had suggested this, as he has found that private roads ultimately cause too many issues between the parties sharing them.

It was stated that the PC should discuss the pros and cons and various options.

Pros of requiring public roads to access private lots include that public roads have easier access for emergency services and are maintained. Cons include that the town must be willing to take on these roads and budget for their maintenance. An additional possible con is that the requirements for new public roads, as written in the ordinance, requires a 22 foot width, which is not the standard that has been done in Boulder, and, therefore, may not fit in with town character and could also be cost prohibitive.

Requiring public roads may also complicate the ability to create subdivisions or even to break off a single lot where there is no existing access to a public road, though,

there are a few possible options. First, subdivisions may be created with private streets that are owned and maintained by a homeowners association. Second, Boulder could change the ordinances to start allowing flag lots. Flag lots are shaped like flags, with a long thin access road as part of the lot (which looks like the flagpole), leading to a more standard rectangular lot (which looks like the flag). A lot that is divided this way can have access to a public road directly from their own property, though, they would otherwise be landlocked. These lots are not currently allowed in the ordinances due to the specifications on the length vs. width of a lot, however, this could be changed. A third option is to continue to allow small subdivisions of less than four lots to have private roads and only require public access for larger subdivisions. Three commissioners agreed that they would like to see private streets allowed for small subdivisions.

It was also brought up that with the current subdivision ordinance, all large subdivision proposals must go through a rigorous process, including ensuring that all infrastructure is already in place, before lots can be sold. This provides some protection to the town in that large subdivi-

sion proposals, which could both alter the town’s character and put a strain on town resources, would take time to accomplish.

Judi Drain, who will be the new mayor next month, was asked to chime in on whether she thought the Town Council would be open to taking on dedicated roads. She stated that she thinks the town would like to keep things rural and the existing roads need to be kept up with and some of them possibly widened. She stated that she is personally in favor of private roads but believes that when private roads are made, parties should be writing things up to make sure everything is clear between them. This is currently being exemplified in a case in town where there is a private road where nothing is platted except for a 60 foot right of way for the town, which is causing difficulties.

Next month’s meeting may include one or two CUP applications, continued discussion on the hydrologic study and the subdivision amendments, and, likely, the open meetings training for PC members that is given annually.

The Boulder Planning Commission meets on the second Thursday of each month at 6 p.m.

Bobcats have a great week playing against the Parowan Rams and Wendover, the Lady Cats win against Wayne Badgers, and Panguitch wrestling heading to Manti Tournament on 17 & 18 The Bobcats had another great week.

I was fortunate enough to have attended the boys playing the Parowan Rams.

Watching the Rams warm up, they had a really tall kid, #44, who looked like an NBA player. He did 360 dunks, dunks with either hand, shot three-pointers with ease and was really something. I have never seen any high school player play as well as Kyler Bennett played that night.

He refused to let #44 get the ball, and by knocking the ball away, he ran off a 19 to 4 first quarter. In the first half, #44 only had four points, and two of them were free throws.

The Cats led by as many as 30 points at one time, and with two minutes left in the game, with the Rams losing by over 20 points, #44 did his thing, and the Rams outscored the Cats by ten points. #44 had three dunks in those two minutes, and wowed the Ram fans. Klyn Fullmer was high pointer with 21, Paxten

Wolfey had 18 and Kyler Bennett, even with his hard working defense, still scored 17. The Ram player #44 only had seventeen, with six of those coming in the last two minutes.

The Cats had two more one-sided games at Richfield.

Wendover had 35 to the Cats 75. Klyn had 15, Shae Miller had 14—with four threepointers—and Kyler also had 14. At Saturday’s game, the Cats played Tabiona and had another easy time winning, 50 to 34. Kyler had 19, and Tucker Chappell had 12. The Cats have two more games before the Christmas break; they go out to Wayne on the 16 and play a doubleheader with the girls team against Tintic on Saturday.

The Lady Cats had a good week, losing to a much bigger Kanab team, 47 to 32.

Kanab is a 2A team and is ranked high in that division.

But at the valley tournament, they got to play a couple of region 20 teams. In a dou-

ble overtime game against Wayne, they really turned it on in the last overtime period, out scoring the Badgers by 15 and winning the game, 55 to 43. Abbee Holman and Kyan Orton finished with 17.

The Cats finished the tournament against the host Buffaloes, and the Cats took it to them, 56 to 42. Tabbie Henrie had 17, and Kyan Orton 14 in their victory. The Lady Cats have two more games, and on Wednesday, they host Wayne, which should be a good game. Then, they play in the double header against Tintic on Saturday.

The tough guy wrestlers had so many tournaments that it is too hard to keep up with them, however, talking to some of them, they are wiping out the competition.

They are in three tournaments this week; they compete against North Sevier on the 14, Beaver on the 16th, and the Manti Tournament on the 17-18. In six weeks, the Cats have 17 tournaments.

Money Tips for Students

Avoid These Common Student Financial Aid Mistakes Many students spend more for college than necessary by making some common mistakes when seeking financial aid. Follow these tips from KHEAA to make sure you get the financial support you need.

Even if you don’t believe you’ll qualify for financial aid, you should still file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, commonly called the FAFSA, each school year. You may find out that you qualify

Announcing ESCALANTE BRANCH New Extended Hours!

Monday through Friday 10am-4pm

by Tim Ballard for federal and state student aid programs. Plus, some schools may require the FAFSA for students to be considered for merit-based scholarships.

Another common mistake is waiting until the last minute to apply for financial aid.

Some programs have deadlines, while others have limited funds.

Colleges send each student who has applied for student aid a financial aid

package. Students and their families should review these carefully, comparing offers from schools to see which is the best deal. Of course, cost is only a part of the highereducation decision. Students should also consider other factors, such as whether a school offers the academic program they want to pursue or if it meets other expectations they have.

KHEAA is a public, non-profit agency established in 1966 to improve students’ access to college. It provides information about financial aid and financial literacy at no cost to students and parents.

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

Understanding the Probate Process

by Jeffery J. McKenna It is common to hear the statement, “I want to avoid probate” or “I don’t want my family to go through the horrors of probate.” Many do not have an answer when you ask these same individuals, “What is probate?”

Probate is one of the least understood of court processes.

However, it is a procedure that can affect the family and heirs of every mature adult following his or her death.

Simply stated, probate is a special state court legal process for settling the debts of someone who has died, and distributing the remaining property to rightful heirs.

In a probate, the person who is authorized by the probate court to administer the estate of a deceased person is called a personal representative (or executor or administrator in some states).

A primary purpose of the probate process is to have a personal representative appointed for the deceased individual. The personal representative must be appointed in order to “sign” the decedent’s name after death.

During life, a person signs a deed or bill of sale to transfer property. When a person dies, it is still necessary to have some document to show a transfer of title. In other words, a “signature” of the decedent is necessary. The probate process provides one method of doing this. By appointing a personal representative, the court authorizes

that person or persons to sign for the deceased individual.

As was explained in an earlier article in this column, a revocable living trust provides another method. The revocable living trust provides for a successor trustee upon the death of the person who originally created the trust. In so doing, the court appointed personal representative is not necessary if assets have been properly transferred into the name of the trust.

Many people believe that if they have a will, there will be no probate. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Whether you have a will or do not have a will, your estate must go through a probate proceeding if the assets are in your sole name.

The only difference between dying with a will and dying without a will is that if you die with a will, you tell the probate court how you would like to have your property distributed after your death. If you die without a will, the state legislature tells the probate court how to distribute your estate.

In either case, probate will take place.

When considering whether to “avoid probate” or not, it is important to understand what is being avoided. Although it is true that in most cases the use of a revocable living trust will require less overall expense than the administration of an estate through the probate court, you may not want to spend more money while you

My husband Ed and I were out fishing in our canoe.

As it was an extremely windy day, we were using an anchor to keep the canoe from drifting. The weather was taking a turn for the worse, so we decided to start paddling back to camp.

"My," I said, "The headwind sure is strong; we're not moving very fast."

All of a sudden, it was less of an effort to paddle and I said,"Oh, did you decide to paddle?"

"No," Ed said, "I decided it would be easier if I brought the anchor in."

"What happened?" she asked.

"I was driving and fell asleep," said her mother, irritated.

"And, of course, your father wasn't paying attention!"

Well, Well...

A country doctor was making a house call at a farm.

He spotted a well at the side of the house and walked over to it. He leaned over to see how deep the well was, but, unfortunately, he leaned too far and plunged to the bottom.

It took rescuers hours to pull him to safety. When the ordeal was over the farmer remarked to the doctor, "I hope you've learned your lesson."

"What lesson is that?" "A doctor should tend to the sick and leave the well alone."

FYI PanguItch

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Finally, we got some snow! Friday, the 10th, was the majestic day. There was not much more than 2”, maybe 3” at most, but as cold as it was, it looked like that it might stay. Saturday and Sunday, though, it warmed up to 40 degrees, and most of it is gone. The weatherman says we are in for more snow, so keep your fingers crossed.

That storm that hit us really did a number on the eastern part of our country. Thirty tornadoes wiped out a number of towns. The number of dead I last heard of was 75, but that was early. By the look of things, that number will really go way up. One tornado, that started in Arkansas, traveled 245 miles, destroying everything in its path. There has never been tornadoes in December of this size before.

The country was set up for this storm by having freezing cold from our storm and 80 degree weather in the south, and when these collided, tornadoes were formed. The governor from Kentucky was really happy that the infrastructure bill had passed so that he can use the money to rebuild all the areas that the tornadoes destroyed.

Nobody in his state voted for the bill, but it will really come in handy.

The "day that will live in infamy," Dec. 7th, has come and gone without too many people honoring this day. Senator Dole passed away. He was one of the last senators that put America ahead of his party. In a letter he wrote a year ago, he said that we should honor all veterans, not just the ones of his time. He was a decorated war hero. In a battle, Dole left his bunker to pull one of his men to safety who was badly wounded. There was an explosion, and he was wounded in the back and his right shoulder. He lay mortally wounded in the bunker for ten hours and spent three months in the hospital recovering. The Senator never regained use of his right arm, but that didn’t stop him from building up America, first as a congressman and

then as a senator. The Senator was 98 years old.

Two years ago, when we killed an Iranian general, Iran retaliated with bombing an airport where many of our troops were stationed. Our president, at that time, said that we didn’t suffer any deaths or only a few injuries. When asked why there were so many medevacs seen leaving the scene, the president said that he didn’t know. When the wounded tried to get Purple Hearts, they were told that it was too political. On the day after 12/7, thirty nine of them were given their much deserved medals.

A Purple Heart gives a veteran the use of the V.A. hospitals.

I received an email from Bill Sanders, and he pointed out my awful coverage of the World Series. I am sorry; I am not much of a baseball fan.

This is what really happened; it was the Atlanta Brave who won the series in six games.

They beat the Houston Astros, who beat Boston in ALCS. I keep thinking that the Astros are still in the National League. Thank you for your email.

While I am at it, I also messed up NASA's launch to nudge an asteroid. It is 300 million miles away, not 6 million. The craft will crash into an asteroid next September at about 15,000 miles an hour.

The asteroid is about the size of the Egyptian’s Great Pyramids, and they plan on just knocking the asteroid just a fraction off its course. What is really cool is that ten days before the collision, DART will release a tiny spacecraft that will photograph and monitor its final progress. This event will leave the science world much more prepared for an asteroid threat in the future.

Well COVID is still hanging around Garfield County, with 16 new cases in the last two weeks. The virus is really hitting the east coast states, with many of their hospital beds tied up. At least seven doctors who attended an antivaccine conference in Florida in November fell ill from CO-

VID soon after. This included a Cardiologist from Key West who boasted to hundreds of attendees that he and his wife had been taking the dewormer ivermectin for 16 months and never felt healthier in his life.

Ninety two percent of federal employees and military personnel had received at least one dose of the vaccine by November 22, which is the deadline for vaccination of federal workers set by the president.

Nearly 5% have asked for exemptions on religious or medical grounds.

With Christmas just around the corner and the year coming to an end, I thought of a few more blessings to be thankful for. We were able to return to church, even if only for sacrament. We had to wear masks and sit in every other pew. The stock market has gone up 10,000 points in 11 months. We took advantage of the market and tripled our money by investing in TESLA and Ford.

We have had an election for Panguitch City Council with Paul Dastrup and Dave Dodds, and nobody claimed the race was fixed. Mayor Soper ran unopposed and got another four-year term. The first Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints received a new bishop, Kevin Heaton, and counselors, Brian Frandsen and Matt Houston. So far, the Church hasn’t burned down ( joke!).

The boys won the basketball championship, and the girls won the State track meet.

They also won the cross country championship.

The water at Panguitch Lake got so warm that a red algae formed, and even though the fish are biting, they taste awful. Our motels returned to somewhat business as usual, and the Park had many visitors this year, and the buses were really busy.

If you find yourself a little short this Christmas, it is not too late to get a form from Sub for Santa. Santa would like to thank the whole town for their generous donations that

help make all of the children in Panguitch have a joyous Christmas.

The Christmas home tours were wonderful this year and really contributed to the Christmas season. The money earned went into Santa’s pocket to help with the purchase of toys and clothing for those who needed a little help. Thank you homeowners for allowing us to see your lovely decorated homes. “Thank you” to those who loved the home tours and continue to support this event. Mandy Soper makes this event happen. Thank you, Mandy! Those who want to participate next year, let her know. Yes, Mandy thinks about homes for next year all ready.

Thanks to those who also lended a helping hand to the Blevins' fundraiser.

Next up is the Panguitch New Year’s Party; it will be held at the Triple C Arena.

With the help of the State and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the cost for dinner and all the fun is still $5.00. Usually, this party is over at about 9:00. Debbie Henrie will be hosting a "Bring in the New Year" Party at the Panguitch Social Hall. She promises to teach those that want to know how to swing dance. I won’t be there, so she won’t have to start off with a dud dancer.

Many thanks to Panguitch for bringing in a Christmas tree at the Quilt Walk Park and lighting it up.

We have been lighting up the trees for the last ten years, some are getting really big, but the park looks so much better with that big tree.

The Oettings will be gone next week, and we want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas. We are truly blessed to live in Panguitch and appreciate all of you.

Oh, where did the year go? Time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years.

Children's Advocates: Build Back Better 'Crucial' for UT Kids' Health SALT LAKE CITY Health-care reform advocates in Utah are pressing the U.S. Senate to approve the Build Back Better Act. They say it would improve Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). The bill has already passed in the House.

It would offer 12 months of continuous coverage to children who qualify for Medicaid. It also would require states to extend Medicaid postpartum coverage from 60 days to 12 months for new mothers.

"These gaps in coverage were more common for Latino children and Black children, and 50% of children who had a gap in coverage did not see a doctor for the entire year that we looked at," Alker reported.

As of May 2021, Utah had enrolled a total of 415,000 individuals in Medicaid and CHIP, a net increase of 41% since 2013.

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.

NASA/JPL-Caltech.

Spend a few minutes to understand why the night side of the earth faces different constellations at different times of the year. In one month the earth moves 1/12 of the way around the sun, so in that same month, the stars move 30° (1/12 of 360) eastward (counterclockwise) around the sun, and at night, the night side of the earth faces the next constellation to the east. Consequently, the constellations shift 30° westward. The stars are fixed in space, and the earth returns to face the same constellations after one year. In that year, Jupiter moves roughly 30° eastward (counterclockwise) and Saturn 12° eastward against the background of stars. Jupiter moves to the next constellation to the east each year, while Saturn takes 2½ years to move to the next constellation, and Jupiter quickly leaves Saturn behind.

Venus continues its rapid descent out of the evening sky, setting three minutes earlier each night as it moves between the earth and sun. This was explained in detail in earlier Sky Reports, which are archived at https://stellarvistaobservatory. org/category/sky-reports/. Say good-bye to the Evening Star.

Jupiter and Saturn are low in the west, to the left of Venus, and they too set earlier each night, but for a different reason. We’re not seeing their motion around the sun, but the consequence of the earth’s motion. As we orbit the sun, the night side of the earth faces a slightly different direction in space each day. In a month, we’ve moved 1/12 of the way around the sun, and the part of the universe we face has shifted 1/12 to the left. In that time, Jupiter, Saturn, and the stars beyond move 1/12 of the way around the sky to the right and set 1/12 of a day, or 2 hours,

earlier. We’ll lose Saturn next month and Jupiter in February —and then the evening sky will be devoid of bright planets and will look quite bare.

Uranus and Neptune are in the evening sky too, and if you have binoculars, you can see Uranus, and any small telescope will show Neptune, but the trick is to know where to look. In olden days, one would get their coordinates from an almanac and plot their positions on a star chart. Nowadays, one uses an app like SkySafari (my favorite), which does everything except point your telescope. If you have a computerized telescope, it will even do that. Neptune is as far to the left of Jupiter as Saturn is to Jupiter’s right, in Aquarius, and Uranus is much farther to the left, in Aries.

December 21 marks the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year (in the northern hemisphere!), and the day

when the sun rises and sets as far south as it will during the year and its noontime elevation is at its lowest. For stargazers, it’s the longest night! The precise time of the solstice is 8:58 a.m. MST, and that’s the first day of winter. Seasons happen because the earth is tilted on its axis; Google “winter solstice” for a complete explanation.

The Ursid Meteor Shower also peaks on the night of the 21st. This is a minor shower of interest only to specialists; don’t bother.

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.

Making sure everyone is aware of what USU has to offer and resources to help make education accessible are some of her biggest priorities.

“Here in the southwest, there are options for everyone,” she said.

“People can take several classes close to home, or just a few classes, that works with the structure of their lives. They can build up their degree to improve their way of life without needing to jump in and spend thousands of dollars.”

Guerrero’s knowledge of southwest region and its

communities is a huge benefit for the area, said Nancy Glomb, the associate vice president for the southwest region.

“We are really excited to welcome Alondra to the team,” Glomb said. “She understands the southwest, and she has this incredible energy that is really important for this position and the ability to connect with people.”

In addition to her recruitment duties, Guerrero will also serve as the region’s exploratory advisor and oversee students on the Earned Admission path before their first semester in school.

Guerrero added others in the statewide system—from Logan to Uintah Basin—have been a huge help as she begins her role.

“I feel so supported,” she said. “Even though we’re all spread out and USU is very big and covers a lot of territory, it’s a very tight-knit community. And I’m a community person.”

LAS VEGAS, NV / HENRIEVILLE - Patty Jo Thompson Lutes, 71, of Las Vegas, Nevada, passed away on December 7, 2021 after a fall. She is survived by her children: Joseph Bryce (Eniko) Taukinukufili, and Barbara (Robert) Larsen; her grandchildren: Joseph Bryce Taukinukifili Jr., Vaughn Taukinukifili, Joscelyne Larsen, Sierra (TJ) Teikauea, Cheyenne Taukinukufili, Camden Larsen, Lincon Larsen, True Larsen; her great-granddaughter, Ailana Teikauea; and her siblings Ann (Tom) Reece, Guy (Beverly) Thompson, Micki Sue (Arnold) DeWalt, Joe (Trish) Thompson, Rachel (Riley) Peeples, Nellie (Nick) Hadley, George (Teresa) Thompson. She is preceded in death by her mother, Ada Smith Thompson, and her father, George Wallace Thompson.

Patty was a devout member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and an amazing example of Jesus Christ. Always wanting to be ready for whatever would come, Patty would always make sure the people around her knew of her love for them and her faith in the gospel. She was an accomplished organist, singer, piano teacher, and served many people in any way that she could. Education was important to Patty. She earned her degree from BYU Idaho, through the pathways program. She taught all the children that she helped to raise—her kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, and any other child she came in contact with—to learn from the world around them. Patty cared deeply about the health and well being of all of Heavenly Father's creations. She devoted countless hours to caring for, and supporting people, and animals including goats, dogs, cats, and chickens. She also loved gardening and found joy in bringing in a harvest from the impossible Las Vegas desert. Her passing has left a deep hole in our hearts, but we know that we will be together again.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, December, 18, 2021 at 11:00 in the Cannonville, Ward Chapel. There will be no public visitation. Burial will be in the Henrieville Cemetery.

Funeral Directors: Magleby Mortuary, Richfield, Salina and Manti. Online guestbook at www. maglebymortuary.com Special thanks to: the staff of Sunrise Hospital, Las Vegas; the staff of Nathin Adelson Hospice, Las Vegas; the Summit Peak Ward Relief Society; and the Cannonville Ward Relief Society.

Robert Eugene Price

ESCALANTE - Robert Eugene Price passed away peacefully on Saturday, November 27, 2021, with his family by his side at the age of 77. Bob, or Bobby, as his family and friends knew him, was a loving and devoted husband, father, brother, uncle, and good friend. He was generous to a fault, always kept his word, and was a true gentleman and kind to all.

Bobby, son of Wade Hardeman Price and Ethel Olivia Larson, was born in Victoria, Texas on March 13, 1944.

Growing up, Bob had an early talent for mechanics. At the young age of 13, he famously took apart the engine of the family car just to see how it worked. His father, a heavy equipment operator, didn’t panic when he discovered the situation, just told Bobby to have the car back together by the time he came home from work, which of course it was.

Bobby knew how to work hard; his first job was working on drill rigs in the Texas oil fields. That led to working as an oil rig firefighter, both on land and offshore, in the Gulf of Mexico. His passion for cars and mechanics later led him to North Carolina, where he worked on cars for Richard Petty and even got behind the wheel in the 60s, racing early NASCAR, drag racing, and funny car racing across the southwest and into Mexico. He returned to Texas and specialized in restoring Volkswagens, many of which won awards at regional and state car shows. He was a VW mechanic for over 45 years and was known for being able to fix anything with an engine, even fabricating his own parts in a pinch.

Bobby enjoyed the quieter life.

For him a good day's work was a day well spent. He was a kind soul with a big heart. He loved those closest to him deeply, and he was never shy to tell them so every chance he could.

Bobby is preceded in death by his parents, Wade and Ethel Price, his sister Patsy Melton, brother-in-law Rev. Buck Melton, and his niece Tammy Melton.

He is survived by his wife of 32 years, Kathy Price, his sister Sharon (Mike) Shilling, his brother Tommy (Fay) Price, and his children, Jeff (Annette) Price, David Karr, and Caitlin (James) Clery, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He loved his grandchildren, Ashton, Kelsey & Wesley Price and Henry Clery, and his greatgrandchildren, Aaron, Zach, Zoey, Averie, Keegan & Charlotte.

In lieu of a wake or funeral service, we will be holding a celebration of his life in the Spring of 2022.

We think about you always we talk about you still – You have never been forgotten and you never will.

We hold you close within our hearts and there you will remain – To walk and guide us through our lives until we meet again.

Rest in Peace, Bobby; we love you dearly.

If the value of the non-Federal land exceeds the value of the Federal land, the values will be equalized by removing non-Federal land from the exchange or through a cash equalization payment made to the State. If the value of the Federal land exceeds the value of the non-Federal land, the values will be equalized by the State conveying certain state trust lands located within wilderness areas or national conservation areas in Washington County, Utah to the United States. If any lands are eliminated based on further analysis, a revised map showing the final exchange parcels will be available for inspection at least 30 days prior to title closing. Subject to valid existing rights, the above-described Federal lands were segregated on the Master Title Plats from mineral location, entry, and patent under the mining laws effective March 12, 2019.

The Federal and non-Federal lands and interests would be conveyed subject to valid and existing rights and encumbrances of record. Subject to limitations prescribed by law and regulation, a holder of any right-of-way on the Federal lands may be given the opportunity to amend the right-of-way for conversion to a new term, including perpetuity, if applicable, or to an easement prior to the issuance of a Federal patent or quit claim deed.

In accordance with Section 2(a)(2)(ii) of Executive Order 11988, notice is hereby given that portions of the Federal lands may be located within floodplains or to contain wetlands. The effects of conveyance of these parcels, including the potential need for restrictions of future uses under Federal, State, or local regulations, will be evaluated in the environmental analysis for the exchange.

The exchange parcels are depicted on the map titled “Overview of Utah Proposals—S.47, Natural Resource Management Act’, dated February 28, 2019. This map and additional information concerning the exchange are available on the Utah BLM website (https://www.blm.gov/programs/lands-realty-and-cadastral-survey/state-lands-and-realty) or may be obtained by contacting the following BLM Offices: BLM Utah State Office, 440 West 200 South, Suite 500, Salt Lake City, UT 84101 Christina Price, 801-539-4294, cjprice@blm.gov BLM Green River District Office, 170 South 500 East., Vernal, UT 84078 Lance Porter, District Manager, 435-781-4401, l50porte@blm.gov BLM West Desert District Office, 2370 South Decker Lake Blvd. West Valley, UT 84119 Mike Gates, District Manager, 435-743-3163, mgates@blm.gov BLM Color Country District Office, 176 East DL Sargent Drive, Cedar City, UT 84721 Gloria Tibbetts, District Manager, 435-865-3201, gtibbetts@blm.gov BLM Canyon Country District Office, 82 East Dogwood, Moab, UT 84532 Gary Torres, District Manager, 435-259-2154, gtorres@blm.gov BLM Paria River District Office, 669 S.

PUBLIC NOTICE GARKANE ENERGY COOPERATIVE Garkane Energy Cooperative held a public hearing on Monday, October 25th, 2021 to discuss a proposed rate adjustment brought upon by wholesale power increases by Deseret Power, Garkane’s power supplier.

The Board of Directors received and reviewed comments from nearly 500 members and weighed them very heavily when deciding how to proceed with the proposed rate adjustment. After much discussion, the proposal to socialize the Twin Cities $370,000 facilities charge among all Garkane members was not accepted. Instead, a proposal was voted on and approved for all residential Utah consumers to receive an increase of 5.5%, which was a few percentage points lower than what it would have been under the Twin Cities parity proposal. Other rate classes also saw minor increases. Although the Board decided not to lower the Twin Cities rates at this time, they also voted not to increase residential rates to the Twin Cities either, keeping their rates flat, while the rest of the membership saw a slight bump.

The rate adjustments will take effect on January 1, 2022, and Garkane consumers will see the adjustments show up on their February billing statement. A list of all approved rate changes can be found under the "Rates" tab of the www.garkaneenergy.com website.
