Doctor thanks patients, still gives good advice Being able to “retire” has allowed me to spend more time with my family and do some things that I would like to do. My oldest son has been accepted to dental school and is here working for the forest service. Being “retired” has allowed me to spend time with him before he leaves for school, which has been fun. Also being off has given me time to enjoy just simple things like working in my yard, working on old cars, playing golf (new for me), and building stuff. This COVID outbreak has not allowed me to say goodbye and thank you to so many who have become my friends. It has also restricted some activities that I would have enjoyed otherwise. This has been
COVID-19 update
Insulin savings program sees early implementation
MT. PLEASANT — Central Utah Public Health Department (CUPHD) reported 32 cases of COVID-19 in the Six County area of Juab, Millard, Piute, Sanpete, Sevier and Wayne counties. This week, CUPHD reported 10 cases, up two new cases, in Juab, with eight recovered; Millard, six cases, one was hospitalized, now recovering at home, five recovered; Piute, one case; Sanpete, seven cases, five recovered, one was hospitalized, now recovering at home; and Sevier with eight cases, seven recovered. Wayne County has no reported cases. There were four cases in the 15-24 age group; eight in the 25-44 age group; 14 in the 45-64 age group; five in the 65-84 age group and only one case in the 85+ age group. There are no cases in the less than one or one-14 age groups. As of press time, there have been 2,764 people tested in the Six County area.
SALT LAKE CITY – HB 207 Insulin Access Amendments, sponsored by Representative Norm Thurston (R-Provo), includes a first-of-its-kind provision for the state to create and provide access to a bulk purchasing program for insulin. The bill instructs the Public Employees Health Plan (PEHP) to allow any Utah resident to take advantage of PEHP’s negotiated discounted rates for insulin products. These discounts result in an approximately 60 percent discount from the prices that many people are currently paying. The bill instructed PEHP to make this happen by Jan. 1, 2021. However, PEHP has been able to accelerate implementation, and access to the program will open on June 1, seven months ahead of schedule. A significant percentage of diabetics report rationing or using less insulin than they need. This behavior is dangerous and can lead to blind-
a source of sorrow as there are so many great folks around who I really love! I cannot say thank you enough for allowing me into so many of your lives. I have often been amazed and humbled by the trust placed in me to provide care, but I feel that it is so much more than that. I have been there to laugh with you, cry with you and smile with you. You have let me into your families and private life. I have thoroughly enjoyed the practice of medicine here in our county and love it here! We live in a great place! There are so many kind and gracious people! The practice of medicine has allowed me to see that we all struggle with something. For most if not all, their
struggles are not readily apparent, so a bit of patience is in order from us all. We all just need to be more kind and considerate of each other. Some struggle with pain, depression, physical disorders, and still much more, but we all have differences and challenges that we need to work on, so smile, laughter really is the best medicine. We will continue to live in our home in Ephraim, because we love it here and have many friends and family around. Thanks again for so many great years of practice. If you see me around (which I will be) say hi, I am happy to talk. Your friend, Dr. Gary Cole, Ephraim
Dear Editor: To all my friends: I thought I had better take a moment to thank so many of you who have been so kind me, not only recently as a result of my cancer, but also those over the years whom I have had the privilege to care for. Some may want some details. I am doing pretty darn well, I am continuing with chemotherapy and am following doctor’s orders. The treatment has caused a neuropathy in my hands and feet, but I am working through that. I plan on living for a long time, but if not, my faith gives me peace to know that there is much to look forward to after this life. Not that I am anxious to go, but it does bring me comfort.
As of June 1, Utah residents who use insulin may purchase the medicine at discounted prices, since HB 207 was passed in the House of Representatives. ness, kidney failure or death. The primary factor leading to rationing is the high cost of insulin. By providing access to this program, any individual needing insulin in the state will be able to purchase it at a discounted price regardless of whether they are uninsured or what their insurance plan makes available to them. This is part of a larger effort to ensure that nobody in Utah resorts to rationing or leaves a
pharmacy without the insulin they need. “Our goal is to ensure that nobody ever takes less insulin than they should be taking due to cost or administrative issues. This provision is a key step in making sure that it never happens in our state,” says Representative Thurston. “I am very appreciative of PEHP’s willingness to get this done so quickly and hope that many Utahns will get some needed relief.”

A Twinkie renaissance I am announcing to the world that I am currently in the midst of a “Twinkie Renaissance. Yes, it’s the Hostess Twinkie snack cakes that I’m talking about. After years of not eating what is officially described as “golden sponge cake with creamy filling,” I am now “back on the wagon” or maybe “back off the wagon” – depending on how you look at it. I need to define my terms here. The first definition of the word Renaissance has to do with the revival of art, architecture, and literature, etc. during the 14th through the 16th centuries. This is when the world came out of the “dark ages” and started producing and appreciating the finer things in life. The cultural aspects of society advanced. The second definition of the word Renaissance has to be with a revival of or a renewed interest in something. That’s what I’m talking about in regards to Twinkies in my world. I broke my “Twinkie fast” last October when our family gathered at a rented beach house in Oceanside, California. The previous week’s tenants, who were part of our general circle of friends and acquaintances, left food in the pantry to be used by whomever came along next. We followed the pattern when we departed. However, because of me, we did not leave any Twinkies. When I first saw the Twinkies in the pantry, not long after our arrival, I was faced with a dilemma. To eat or not to eat? That was the question. It wasn’t as if I had to decide whether to buy them or not. They were right there. It seemed like a little devil was right there on my shoulder saying, “Here you go Merrill. You know you love these high fructose corn syrup goodies. Go ahead, have one!” But, wait a second. The little angel with a halo, on my other shoulder, whispered, “If you eat one, you know what will happen. It will be just like the story of the little Dutch boy who put his finger in the dike to stop the leak in order to save Holland. If you eat a Twinkie it would be like removing your finger. The dam will break and it will be a Twinkie flood that will take an emergency order for action from FEMA, and the International Red Cross combined to achieve recovery. It could be the end of the world, as we now know it!”’ Looking at the partial box of Twinkies, I pondered. I looked into the past. I looked into the future. I looked at my “not ready for beach time waistline.” I wondered. I weighed the pros and cons. I ate a Twinkie. And, I didn’t feel badly about it. In fact, when we went to the store, I bought more Twinkies. In the months since, I have bought and shared with others the following Hostess snack cakes: Twinkies, Sno-Balls,
Zingers, Cupcakes – and perhaps Ho Hos and Ding Dongs. I have a hard time remembering. I have to say that I like them all. I’m trying not to overdo it with the snack cakes. I’m doing pretty well at proving the little angel wrong. Believe it or not, at an extended family, Memorial Day picnic last Monday, I ate only one of the chocolate cake Twinkies out of the box that I brought. After eating my single Twinkie, I walked around to various kids and said, “I have a feeling that you’d like one of these.” Nobody turned me down. What powerful intuitive feelings I’ve been blessed with! There’s so much more to be said about Twinkies. I’ve found that the history, facts and popular culture surrounding Twinkies is huge. It’s fluffy with information, creamy with cultural references, and delicious in its popularity. I do have to say that the urban legend that a Twinkie will last forever just isn’t true. Originally, the Twinkie was meant to last about 26 days. As of 2012, stronger preservatives were added and it is now a 45day shelf life product. This makes it the perfect “ship by mail” birthday present. By the way, I learned in March that Utah Senator Mitt Romney is a fan of Twinkies. He was given a birthday cake made of Twinkies by his staff. This was long after my Twinkie Renaissance began. I believe that he heard of my Twinkie revival and copied me. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. I’m suspecting that my wife will be making a small Twinkie birthday cake for me on my next birthday. It might be homemade. I saw that there is a “secret recipe” for homemade Twinkies on the Internet. I’m thinking that I need to be open-minded about having more revivals in my life. I believe we all could have some renewals of interest for good things in our lives. They don’t all have to be sugary, empty calorie snack revivals. They can be personal character attributes or acts of service. My wife recently had a renewal of interest in sending hand-written letters and notes to people through the mail. Recipients of those personal mailings have sincerely appreciated getting that kind of “old fashioned” communication. Letters have been sent back. I don’t think this will replace email, but it’s an ongoing demonstration of personal effort and connection. I believe that this may be a time when many are re-discovering a Renaissance of Kindness, Tolerance, Love, Reading, Meditation, Walking, Friendship, Cheering Others Up, Interest in the Lives of Others, Serving, Assisting, and on and on. I could be wrong, but I think this is a time for each of us to experience something bigger and better than the re-discovery of Twinkies.

Articles are re-written just as they appeared in the paper. No spelling or punctuation has been altered or corrected. Following are some of the stories from archived newspapers: Jan. 12, 1912 UTAH STATE NEWS Frank Sweeney, thought to have been one of the most, trustworthy convicts at the state prison, escaped from the prison farm Thursday. The receipts of the office of secretary of state for the quarter ending December 31 amounted to $17,310.50, ac-
cording to a report made last week. Kenneth Lyon, 11 years old, and Ralph Lyon, 6 years, sons of Matthew Lyon of Salt Lake, were painfully injured in a coasting accident last week. The Cole Banking company of Tremonton has been reorganized under the name of the State Dank of Tremonton, with an increased capital stock of $30,000. Fire broke out Thursday night in a barn belonging to Henry Pett, Jr. at Brigham City, and destroyed everything in the barn and burned two horses valued at $300. The fees collected by the state Insurance department during the year 1911 totaled $60,222.53, as against $54,493.11 in 1910 and a corresponding increase is looked for in 1912. Daniel Baird Kane, aged 50 years, for thirty-five years a resident of Salt Lake, and well
known in the west as a mining expert, died at Callao, Peru, as the result of a paralytic stroke. Reciprocal relations concerning the granting of medical licenses between the Utah and Idaho state boards of medical examiners have been entered into by the officers of each board. The approximate value of the hay, grain, potatoes, alfalfa seed and sugar beets produced by the farms of Utah for the year 1911 is $25,000,000, an increase of $5,000,000 over the year 1910.

Fill your gardens with beautiful plants that produce an abundance of seeds the birds will love. You’ll enjoy the flowers as well as the birds that visit to dine on the seeds. Best of all, there is no feeder to refill or clean. Sunflowers are likely the first seed-producing plant that comes to mind. Their dark brown centers turn to seeds that attract a wide variety of birds and of course squirrels to your yard. Add a unique flare to your sunflower collection with the All-America Selections (AAS) winner Sunflower Ring of Fire. Its chocolate brown center is surrounded by a ring of red petals tipped in gold. The 4- to 5-feet-tall plants reach their peak late in the season, adding a fresh look to any flowerbed. AAS Winner Purple Majesty Millet is another bird magnet. Tolerant of heat and drought it grows 3 to 5 feet tall and its green leaves turn purple in the sunlight. Twelve-inch-long flower spikes top the plant, making it the perfect thriller in container gardens, backdrop in flowerbeds or addition to garden bouquets. But you’ll want to leave most of the flowers on the plants to produce seeds that bring in the birds.
Another group of AAS Winners, the Salvia Summer Jewel™ series, bloom earlier and more prolifically than other similar varieties on the market. You can choose from white, pink, red and lavender flowers that attract butterflies and hummingbirds. And as their flowers turn to seeds, you will find colorful goldfinches flocking to the plants. Coneflowers are well known for their bird appeal. Our native purple and pale purple coneflowers are always a good choice, but a few relatively new hardy varieties increase the color options for gardeners. The 2020 AAS Winner Sombrero® Baja Burgundy was trialed for three years, survived brutal winter and summer conditions and continued to produce deep-violet-red flowers midsummer to frost. Cheyenne Spirit Echinacea produces a mix of purple, pink, red and orange flowers while PowWow Wild Berry’s compact plants are topped with deep rose-purple flowers. Start these two from seed in early spring and be rewarded with colorful flowers the first summer. A popular companion of coneflowers, black-eyed Susans, are sure to add a bright spot of color to
any garden. And as the flowers fade, they provide an abundance of seed for birds to enjoy fall through winter. The 2020 AAS Winner American Gold Rush provides all the beauty plus a resistance to Septoria leaf spot disease. Longtime favorite flowers like cosmos, coreopsis, marigolds and zinnias also help bring in the seed-eating birds. Select single flowered varieties for maximum seed production. Radiance and Cosmic Orange cosmos, Sahara Starlight and the Profusion series of zinnias are a few outstanding performers to consider. Look for other award-winning varieties that attract seed-eating birds, hummingbirds and other pollinators to your garden on the AAS website (all-americaselections.org). AAS is a non-profit trialing organization with test gardens and volunteer judges across the United States and Canada. Winners are selected for their outstanding performance in home gardens and containers. Increase your garden’s beauty, decrease maintenance and bring in the birds with a few of these winning flower varieties. About Melinda Myers Melinda Myers has written more

Want some local elk or deer meat? Apply for antlerless hunts, starting May 28 SALT LAKE CITY — If putting locally sourced, nutritious meat on the table while enjoying Utah’s beautiful outdoors sounds good to you, take note that the application period for Utah’s 2020 antlerless hunts opens soon. Depending on the age, a cow elk can provide between 120 to nearly 200 pounds of boneless meat. That meat can then be eaten in a variety of ways, including hamburger, roasts, steaks, stews, stir-fry or in fajitas. A doe deer will provide approximately 40 pounds of boneless meat. Beginning Thursday, May 28 at 8 a.m., you can apply for a permit to hunt cow elk, cow moose, doe deer, doe pronghorn and, for the first time, ewe bighorn sheep, in Utah. (Although you cannot apply for both a cow moose permit and a ewe bighorn sheep permit in the same year — you must pick one or the other.) You must submit your applica-
Beginning at 8 a.m., Thursday, May 28, until Thursday, June 18, the Division of Wildlife Resources is accepting applications for anterless cow elk, cow moose, doe deer or pronghorn and ewe bighorn sheep. Some restrictions apply so check the Utah Hunt Planner or the nearest DWR office. (Photo courtesy of Jim Shuler, DWR) tion no later than 11 p.m., Thursday, June 18 to be included in the drawing for hunting permits. Before you can apply for a 2020 antlerless permit, bonus point or preference point, you must have a valid Utah hunting or combination license. You can buy a license on the Utah Division of
Wildlife Resources website, by calling 1-800-221-0659 or by visiting a license agent. Applications for antlerless permits can be submitted through the DWR website. Details about the different units, including boundary descriptions, biologist notes, and popula-
tion and harvest statistics can be found on the Utah Hunt Planner. “The antlerless big game hunts are a great opportunity to not only harvest meat and make some great memories outdoors, but also to help manage wildlife populations and maintain healthy herds and landscapes,” DWR Big Game Coordinator Covy Jones said. In December 2019, the Utah Wildlife Board approved several amendments to the hunt drawing process, several of which apply to the antlerless permits. If a hunter surrenders their permit(s) at least 30 days before the season opens, their previously acquired bonus/preference points will be reinstated and the waiting period will be waived, if applicable. However, if they surrender the permit(s) less than 30 days before the season opens, they will lose their bonus/preference points. Previously, it was difficult to reallo-
cate those permits when there was less than 30 days’ notice, so this change will help prevent lost hunting opportunities. Another change to be aware of is that if a hunter obtains a general-season antlerless permit over the counter (after the antlerless drawing) or a private-lands-only permit, they will lose any preference points they’ve previously accrued for that specific antlerless hunt. If they purchase an antlerless elk control permit, they will not lose their preference points. If you have questions about applying for an antlerless permit, call 1-800-221-0659 or your nearest DWR office. The drawing results will be available on or before July 9. If any antlerless permits are available after the drawing, you can purchase them beginning July 22. Check the 2020 Utah Antlerless Application Guidebook for details.

Boat inspections and decontaminations at Lake Powell have be re-instated as of May 8. Some boat ramps are only available for day-use. Boaters are advised to check with the National Park Service at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area before planning a trip. ers at risk of COVID-19. Other agency staff will also be performing the modified inspections and decontaminations at Lake Powell. “Boaters should be aware that these modified protocols will take longer than a normal inspection or decontamination because they have been developed to minimize interaction between individuals,” DWR Aquatic Invasive Species Coordinator Nathan Owens said. “As a result, boaters will likely have longer wait times while exiting Lake Powell and also while launching at other Utah waterbodies. We ask for your patience during this time, as protecting the health of our staff and the public, and preventing the spread of quagga mussels are both very important.” Boaters will be asked not to approach staff performing the inspections and decontaminations, so social distancing recommendations can be maintained and neither individual is put at risk.
In addition to receiving an inspection when leaving Lake Powell, boaters can also help prevent the spread of quagga mussels by doing the following: • Clean: Boaters should wipe all water, mud, plant materials and other debris from their boats. In particular, make sure to inspect the anchor and sea strainer. • Drain: Boaters are required to pull all drain plugs and leave them out during transport and storage after boating on Lake Powell. All water should be completely drained from ballast tanks, bilges and live wells. Boaters with outboard or inboard/outboard engines should drop the lower unit to drain those areas, as well. Also, inspect the cooling intake or water system on the boat. • Dry: All boats with ballast tanks, inboard engines or inboard/outboard engines retain water at all times, and therefore, will need to meet a 30-day dry time if not professionally decontaminated.

Public comment process sees changes for legislature electronic meetings Salt Lake City – Due to COVID-19 health concerns, the Utah State Legislature will temporarily hold committee meetings electronically, therefore, public comments will be taken remotely. Individuals wishing to participate in committee meetings may either email legislators directly or submit a request to provide public comment. As usual, legislative proceedings will be livestreamed, recorded and shared publicly on le.utah.gov. The following procedures apply to those who wish to provide on the record comments during a committee
meeting: • At least 12 hours before the committee meeting is scheduled to begin, submit a request form on the committee’s webpage and identify one or more agenda items to address. • After a request is accepted, participating individuals will receive an email 30 minutes prior to the committee meeting with a link to enter a virtual waiting room. • Those in the virtual waiting room will not be able to hear the meeting and are advised to open the committee meeting’s live stream in a separate browser tab. • Individuals will, in turn,
be admitted to the live virtual committee meeting to provide public comment. Those who are registered to speak to multiple agenda items will be transferred back to the virtual waiting room between comments. Those registered to speak about one agenda item will be transferred out of the committee meeting after presenting comments. The Office of Legislative Research and General Counsel can assist with questions regarding the public comment process.

OBITUARIES New Utah Geologic Hazards Portal allows
A5
Clark E. Bronson public to search, find geologic hazards
1939~2020 FAIRVIEW — Clark Everice Bronson, 81, born March 10, 1939 in Kamas, UT, passed away at his home in Fairview, UT May 21, 2020. His parents, Guy Everice Bronson and Lerean Fitzgerald Bronson preceded him in death. He married Pauline Joyce Turnbow Sept. 18, 1958, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. Clark studied art at Art Instruction Schools and the University of Utah. Arnold Friberg was his finest teacher. Clark was a member of the National Sculpture Society, Society of Animal Artists, Northwest Rendezvous Group, Cowboy Hall of Fame and National Academy of Western Art. During his career, Clark received many recognitions and awards. His watercolor, oil and charcoal illustrations appeared on advertisements, magazine covers, Christmas cards, calendars, etc. In addition, he illustrated three books for Rand McNally, but perhaps Clark is bestknown for his bronze sculptures of birds and animals. For many years they have been purchased by numerous collectors throughout the United States. Clark was a gentleman. He will be remembered for his wisdom, integrity, kindness, faith, and his love of family, animals and
beautiful places. He and Pauline filmed wildlife while living on their boat, the Sea Runner, in Alaska for about 30 summers. Clark made several videos from the footage they took. He will be missed by his wife of nearly 62 years, Pauline, and his three children, Jeffrey (Brooke) Bronson, Heidi (Leon Dorscher) Bronson, and Perry (Leslie) Bronson. Two sisters, Dixie Gibbons and Peggy (Don) Butcher survive him, as well as seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. A graveside service will be held at 11 a.m., Friday, May 29 in the Fairview City Cemetery in Fairview, UT. We thank family members and Hospice workers for their outstanding service in caring for Clark. Online condolences at rasmussenmortuary.com.
SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Geological Survey (UGS) recently released the Utah Geologic Hazards Portal, an online mapping application that provides information on the type, location, and relative susceptibility of geologic hazards. Users of the new app can zoom in to their location or search by address to find geologically active faults, landslides, and a host of other geologic hazards in selected areas. The app also includes a report generator designed to provide a summary of information for specific sites. “Information is power, and this hazards app is full of good information. It’s a simple, but powerful tool that can be used in conjunction with UGS geologic hazard investigation guidelines to help protect Utahns from death, injury, and economic and financial loss,” said UGS Hazards Geologist Jessica Castleton. The app contains post-2008 UGS geologic hazard map data and data from other sources for parts of Utah. Available mapping is at a scale large enough for users to see details such as individual buildings and lots. The app does not eliminate the need for detailed geologic hazard investigations by Utah-licensed professionals, which further define hazards at specific sites and provide recommendations to miti-
gate them to safe, acceptable levels. “While we recommend site-specific hazard investigations prior to building, it’s up to local agencies to regulate development in areas with geologic hazards,” said UGS Hazards Geologist Greg McDonald. The Utah Geologic Hazards Portal includes recently released detailed mapping of ground surface rupturing faults capable of causing significant damage along the Wasatch Front. The app also delineates special study zones, where site-specific fault investigations are recommended, around the
mapped traces of the Wasatch and associated faults. This mapping provides crucial information for reducing earthquake risk in the state’s most densely populated and rapidly developing areas. Information on geologically active faults, earthquake ground shaking, and landslides are available statewide. Comprehensive geologic hazards data, including multiple hazards related to earthquakes, floods, landslides, and problem soils and rocks, are currently available for the west side of the Salt Lake Valley, St. George, Cedar City (in final review), Moab, the State Route 9 corridor, and the heavily visited areas of Zion National Park and the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Areas shown with completed detailed mapping were prioritized by availability of funding and need, with rapidly developing areas
with multiple previously unmapped hazards completed first. It takes an incredible amount of resources to conduct a thorough investigation and map the suite of geologic hazards that threaten various parts of Utah. Additional mapping is ongoing and currently prioritized for and underway in northern Utah County and Bryce Canyon National Park. Mapping will continue to be added to the app as it is completed. The Utah Geologic Hazards Portal can be accessed from the UGS website at https:// geology.utah.gov/apps/hazards/. The report generator was developed in conjunction with the Utah Automated Geographic Reference Center. The Utah Geological Survey, a division of the Utah Department of Natural Resources, provides timely scientific information about Utah’s geologic environment, resources, and hazards.
