BOULDER - At the February 2022 Boulder Planning Commission meeting, Town Planner Lee Nellis led discussion on ordinance amendments. Certain updates to Boulder’s ordinances are necessary to conform with recent changes in the State Legislature. There are many changes that will need to be made, and Nellis will be presenting a few at a time. Presenting them in this manner will allow for more focused discussion within the Planning Commission and more focused public hearings. In assessing necessary changes, Nellis came across a number of inconsistencies and lacking items in the ordinances, including that there are three different definitions of subdivisions. It was also brought up that there is a definition of “billboard” in the subdivision ordinance, rather than in the sign ordinance. This definition will either be moved to the sign ordinance or possibly removed altogether. Nellis stated that the subdivision ordinance in general will need a lot of work to

BLM Will Hold Geothermal Lease Sale in SW Utah
SALT LAKE CITY The Bureau of Land Management will offer 11 geothermal lease sale parcels, totaling approximately 32,527 acres, at a geothermal lease sale on April 12, 2022. These parcels are located in Beaver and Millard counties on public lands managed by the BLM’s Cedar City and Fillmore field offices. The Notice of Competitive Lease Sale, maps of the parcels, attached stipulations from the respective BLM resource management plans, and the Determination of National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Adequacy on the NEPA Register will be available starting the week of Feb. 21, 2022, on the ePlanning website at https://bit. ly/34eBov6. This geothermal sale supports President Biden’s goal of creating a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035, and to permit at least 25 gigawatts of solar, wind, and geothermal production on public lands by 2025. The BLM works in coordination with experts to expand development of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and geothermal where appropriate on public lands. Additionally, the Bureau’s goal is to ensure that its energy portfolio serves the public interest and helps restore balance on America’s public lands for the benefit of current and future generations. The BLM manages vast stretches of public lands that have the potential to make significant contributions to the nation’s renewable energy portfolio. To promote our clean energy goals, the BLM provides sites for environmentally sound development of renewable energy on public lands and new transmission routes to connect into the grid. These efforts to deploy renewable energy from our nation’s public lands support the Biden-Harris administration’s goal of a carbon pollution-free power sector
by 2035, as well as Congress’ direction in the Energy Act of 2020 to permit 25 gigawatts of solar, wind, and geothermal production on public lands no later than 2025. Background Geothermal was the first renewable energy that the BLM approved for production on public lands, with the first geothermal project approved in 1978 and with current geothermal electricity generated here in Utah at several locations. Replenished by heat sources deep in the Earth, geothermal energy is a renewable resource that generates electricity with minimal carbon emissions up to 24 hours per day. It is an abundant resource, especially in the West, where the BLM has authority to manage geothermal leasing on approximately 245 million acres of public lands (including 104 million acres of USDA Forest Service lands). Today there are 48 operating power plants developing geothermal energy from BLM-managed lands, with a combined total of more than 2.5 gigawatts of generation capacity. The BLM issues geothermal leases for a 10-year period. For each parcel, the bid, rental receipts, and subsequent royalties are disbursed with 50 percent of the funds distributed to the respective state, an additional 25% disbursed to the respective county, and 25 percent that remains in the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The BLM manages public lands for many uses, including sustainable energy development. In addition, each issued lease contains standard stipulations to protect endangered species and cultural resources and ensures that development is safe and environmentally responsible. After parcels are leased, lessees must submit site-specific proposals for additional in-depth analysis before energy development can begin. —Bureau of Land Management

Bryce Canyon Announces Shuttle Bus Contract Award to Red Canyon Transit, L.L.C.
The Utah-based company will continue to provide shuttle service to the park’s most popular area
Courtesy National Park Service
Bryce Canyon Announces Shuttle Bus Contract Award to Red Canyon Transit, L.L.C. BRYCE - Bryce Canyon National Park announces the award of the contract for the park’s shuttle bus operation to Red Canyon Transit, L.L.C. The contract is in effect from March 25, 2022 through March 24, 2027 with five additional option years. Under the new contract, Red Canyon Transit will continue to operate Bryce Canyon’s shuttle bus system and maintain a fleet of eight transit buses. The shuttle bus system provides a convenient and predictable way for visitors to access viewpoints, amenities and trails in the iconic Bryce Amphitheater area of the park, as well as hotels and campsites in nearby Bryce Canyon City. Buses are designed with both accessibility and recreation in mind and include wheelchair lifts, as well as two-capacity bicycle
racks in front. Shuttle bus service is funded with park entrance fees and remains free for visitor use with park admission. Shuttle service will continue to run from April through October each year. The 2022 season will run from April 1st through October 23rd. The guided Rainbow Point shuttle tour will not be offered this year, however, local companies continue to provide commercial interpretive and recreational shuttle services throughout the park. Bryce Canyon’s shuttle system has been in operation since 2000. Ridership on the system has grown considerably in the last decade, which has reduced the park’s carbon footprint and vehicle congestion at popular viewpoints and the Visitor Center. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, there
were approximately 750,000 passenger trips annually, with a peak of 822,000 in 2018. Red Canyon Transit, L.L.C. is based in Utah and specializes in fixed route public transportation. From 2015 to 2020, the company held the contract for the park’s shuttle bus operation and agreed to a one-year extension to provide service through 2021. Its founding members previously operated Lewis Bros. Stages, which historically provided bus service to Bryce Canyon National Park and destinations across the country. Founded in 1914, Lewis Bros. Stages held the park’s first shuttle contract from 2000 to 2009.

PHS Sports Sidelines by Mack Oetting
Panguitch Bobcat Wrestlers are three-time state champions, Boys and Girls Basketball both close out the season with wins and will participate in the Region 20 Tournament In this corner is the three time state champion tough guys, the Panguitch Bobcat wrestlers. The meet was so one-sided that the Cats had won the championship by Friday, with 150 points, and remained in control from the beginning until the end. The Cats had 236 points to Altamont's 123. Nineteen of the team scored points in all of the weight classes. Coach Collin Marshall and all of his assistants have put together a team that will win many more championships. Cail Houston, who took gold in the 157# Division, was named the outstanding wrestler of the tournament. He pinned his opponent in the first round. Result from the tournament: 106#: 2nd Randy Marshall, and 3rd Tanner Marshall. 113#: 2nd Shad Partridge. 120#: 1st Braxton Atkin, and 4th Hunter Dickinson. 126#: 3rd Cameron Atkin, and 4th Ronan Mooney. 132#: Jacob Marshall, and 4th Bryson Henrie. 138#: 3rd Thomas Marshall. 144#: Korban Osburn. 150#: 2nd Theron Evans. 157#: 1st Cael Houston. 165#: 2nd Nash Jensen. 175#: 3rd Bronson Wehrli, and 4th
Koda Bridges. 190#: 3rd Gage Julander. 215#: 3rd Cole Harland. 285#: Arik Blevins. One of wrestling's institutions in Utah, Frank Houston, was honored Saturday night with the Golden Whistle Award. It was for his 50 years of involvement with high school wrestling as a coach and an official. Coach Marshall said he hopes to keep him around for another 50 years. He is in the room every day along with our other coaches, and he really helps complete our team. Pat and I went to the finals, and, boy, are the wrestling fans the best or what? I think I got the last parking spot there. We couldn’t find a place to sit anywhere, but I spotted some empty seats on the end with a bunch of blue shirts, and it turned out we were in the Rich section. The sportsmanship in wrestling is second to none. After each match, the opponents shake hands with each other and with the coaches. The Cats Basketball also had a good week, with both of the teams closing out their season with wins. On Wednesday, it was senior night for the
boys in a game against Diamond Ranch. The Cats won the game, beating Diamond Ranch, 68 to 52. All four seniors got in the scoring column. Paxton Wolfley had 16, Kyler Bennett had 13, Cody Hatch had 8 and Jaron Miller had 7. This was a team game, and the Cats played real well. This Friday and Saturday, it will be the Region 20 tournament, and it will be here in Panguitch. Check the schedule for when the teams play. The Cats finished the season 19 and 1. The Lady Cats also had a very good closing to their season with a win over Milford, 47 to 33. The ladies are also losing 4 seniors—Kyan Orton, Hailee Eyre, Abbee Holman and Kambree Howell. They will be really missed next season. The ladies had a great season with only losing four games. They do have a freshmen team that didn’t lose a game and played mostly 2A schools. The ladies did have a play-in game against Bryce Valley last night and will be playing in the Region 20 tournament on Friday and Saturday.

Estate Planning for Blended Families by Jeffery J. McKenna Getting married and blending families is tough. Doing proper estate planning for a “yours, mine and ours” family presents many special challenges. This article sets forth problems and provides solutions for what spouses can do when addressing concerns related to blended families. In a "traditional" estate plan, each spouse provides for his or her assets to pass to the surviving spouse, with the understanding that the assets will go to the children at the surviving spouse's death. This may work well when the spouses have only been married to each other, but it can spell disaster if your family is a blended family. Most people want to take care of their spouse or life partner. This means that if you die first, you want your spouse to have access to all of your assets. But the majority of people also want their own children or other loved ones to inherit something. Many people do not realize how easy it is to accidentally disinherit loved ones. Children can be inadvertently disinherited by the use of joint tenancy deeds on real
estate (or joint ownership of bank accounts). Here is a common example: Husband ("H") and Wife ("W") have two children. H dies. W remarries Second Husband ("H2"). W wants to show her love and commitment to H2, so she retitles the house into her and H2's name as joint tenants with right of survivorship. She also changes the ownership of her bank accounts to be jointly owned with H2. Then she dies. The house and bank accounts suddenly belong to H2. W’s children likely get nothing. Using a well prepared trust, allows you to have significant flexibility and control over the disposition of your assets when you die or become incapacitated. Good estate planning can allow your spouse or partner to be cared for until his or her death, with assets retained in a sub-trust for the benefit of your spouse, then upon your spouse’s death, having your trustee distribute your share of the assets to your own children or to other beneficiaries you have selected. Estate planning for a blended family does require extra planning and more thought and effort. However, when accomplished, the com-

"Did you have a nice day at school?" "Yep." "Any homework to do?" "Nope." "You got your hair cut" "Yep." "This is a monosyllabic conversation isn't it?" "Yep." "You do know what monosyllabic means?" "Yep." "Well, tell me." Aha, I thought, now he has to give me a dictionary explanation. With a mischievous grin and a sly look at me, he replied, "One."

O bituaries Colleen Miller
PANGUITCH - Our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and good friend Colleen Miller, age 72, returned to our heavenly father Monday, February 7th, 2022, surrounded by her loving family. Colleen suffered from an illness in which she could not recover. Colleen was born February 10th, 1949 in Cedar City, Utah to LaNard and Nan Johnson. She was the youngest of one brother, LaNard E. Johnson and one sister Verda Salter. She grew up in Orderville and graduated from Valley High School in 1967. She married Kirk Covington July of 1967 and later divorced. They had one daughter Nanette Matthew. Colleen later married Wayne Miller on October 6th, 1973 at Wallace and Billie’s cabin at Panguitch Lake. They have been married for 48 years. They had two daughters, Jolene Owens and Melissa Mosdell. In their early years, Wayne, Colleen, and the girls spent many nights out at the Bryce Canyon Rodeos where Colleen ran the clock and Wayne performed various duties. Wayne and Colleen were also involved with the Panguitch High School Invitational Rodeo. The family looked forward to the deer hunts and going to the cabin where the whole Miller family would gather. Colleen worked for Howard Construction, Security Title, and Garfield County Courthouse in the Assessor’s office where she worked for over 30 years. She also spent countless hours volunteering at the H&R True Value store, where she enjoyed visiting with people and volunteering at Nan’s Daycare where she loved holding the babies. Colleen and Wayne enjoyed rides to Panguitch Lake and around town. Colleen enjoyed quilting, crocheting, reading books, and talking on the phone. She is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her favorite calling was being a visiting teacher. Colleen is survived by her husband Wayne, children: Nanette (Tony) Matthew, Jolene (Kory) Owens, and Melissa (Jody) Mosdell; 9 Grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren with one on the way; her sister Verda and brother LaNard E; Inlaws Robert (Lynese) Miller, Arthur Miller, Liz Barney, Alleen (Kim) Sherwood, and Melanie (Ren) Holman. She is preceded in death by her parents; father and mother-in-law Allen and JoAnn Miller; brother-in-law Bruce Barney, and sister-in-law Sheri Miller. Funeral services were held on Saturday, February 12th, 2022, at 1:00 PM in the Panguitch 2nd Ward Chapel in Panguitch. There was a viewing from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM. Burial took place in Panguitch Cemetery under the care of Mosdell Mortuary.

FYI PanguItch
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com The Greeks really knew what they were doing back in 1900 BC, bringing peace to all the countries that took part in the original Olympics. The Olympics were again started up in 1896 and have continued over the ages, with the exceptions of WWII. I am glued to the TV watching these athletes competing at such a high degree. How do you ever learn to do these things without killing yourself? In my opinion, the Winter Olympics are far more interesting than the Summer Olympics. How many times can you watch a giant of a man push a 16 lb. ball? These athletes come from all over the world, 92 nations, to take part in peaceful competition. And the world seems to come to a halt for two weeks. The U.S. has won quite a few medals, but some of these small countries from the Baltic area are also winning the Gold. At this printing, games will be two-thirds of the way gone, and other than some cold temps, you wouldn’t even know it was here. This last week of temps in the 50s felt more like spring. March is just around the corner, and I think that there will be 27 days till we go back to daylight saving
time and will have an extra hour of sunlight at night. On the 23rd, we will have picked up two hours of daylight since winter started. The Garfield County Fair Board is looking for students in which to give the Board's scholarships. You must be 16 and in the 11 or 12th grades. You must be a resident of Garfield County and willing to help out with the County Fair. Mail applications to The Garfiled County Fair, PO Box 77 Panguitch, 84759 or email callieward@usu.edu by March 1st. The Panguitch Senior Center will be closed another week while it is undergoing renovation, and the drivers will be glad to bring you your lunch at home. It isn’t as friendly as eating in the center, but the food is the same. I have read that it is not nice to make fun of people that die from the COVID, but here are a couple of incidents that aren’t too hard to smile over. Meatloaf (entertainer) said he would rather die than get a shot that stops the virus. Well, he got his wish last week and is dead. A Washington State trooper quit his job rather than to comply with the governor's
mandate, telling him he could kiss his ---. (I think that since he was 50, he probably retired). Robert LaMay became the darling of Fox News, saying he had awakened a sleeping giant. He has since died of the COVID and leaves behind a wife and four children. Garfield County still had 32 new cases this last week. The cases in the St. George area have gotten so bad that Governor Cox has sent the National Guard down there to help out at the hospitals. Australia, New Zealand and China have had great success with keeping out the virus by isolating people and not letting in visitors without their shots. New York City has been on a lock down for two months and is lifting it this week because their cases are down 92%. Tonga, the South Pacific nation, had its first COVID outbreak of five people infected. Tonga was hit hard by a tsunami after a recent volcanic eruption. They have cause to be concerned as they had to have foreign rescue workers which might bring the coronavirus. The Family History Center is open on Wednesday’s from 1-3 p.m. It is at the
Seminary Building on Center Street next to the old high school. As interest increases, the available days will increase also. Well, the NFL season is finally over with the Super Bowl game. Both the LA Rams' and the Cincinnati Bengals' defense kept the scoring low. The halftime show was so bad that we turned the channel to a dog show. The Rams came out the winner by three points with a touchdown in the last minute of the game. We do have another week of the Olympics, and it is almost March Madness time with basketball. The main reason I like February so much dates back more than 65 years ago. The Lord answered my prayers when I met Pat who was on a date with a friend of mine; it was love at first sight. We were married in February, and she has been my best friend and lover ever since. She has spent her life taking care of me and working 24 hours a day thinking of ways to help others. Yes, she wakes up in the morning with ideas. Nothing is ever done by those that are afraid of failing. Mack O.
Don't Feed Deer or Other Wildlife Due to Public Safety Concerns, Health of Animals
Courtesy Utah Division of Wildlife Resources
A buck deer staring out in a field at the Nash Wash WMA. Utah Division of Wildlife Resources officials are reminding the public not to feed deer or other wildlife. SALT LAKE CITY Utah Division of Wildlife Resources officials are reminding the public not to feed deer or other wildlife. While it is not illegal to feed wildlife—except for in certain cities that have enacted no feeding ordinances—there are several reasons that it is highly discouraged, including public safety concerns, the spread of chronic wasting disease among deer, elk and moose, and potential harm to wildlife
from introducing foods not in their diets, particularly during winter months. Public safety concerns Whenever someone feeds wildlife, those animals will frequently return to that area in search of food. These areas are often near highways and towns—and sometimes even within neighborhoods. Concentrating deer and other wildlife near inhabited areas can sometimes result in increased traffic accidents and other human/wildlife conflicts. Attracting deer to your property through feeding can also attract predators, like cougars, that follow deer herds. And while deer are not predators, they are still wild animals and can be aggressive. "Help yourself and the wildlife by allowing them to remain wild, and avoid conflicts by not feeding them," DWR Big Game Coordinator Covy Jones said. Chronic wasting disease concerns Chronic wasting disease is a relatively rare, but fatal transmissible disease that affects the nervous systems of deer, elk and moose. The disease is caused by a protein particle, called a prion, that attaches to the brain and spinal cord. It is caused by the same type of particle as "mad cow disease" in cows. Infected animals develop brain lesions, become emaciated, appear listless and have droopy ears. They may also salivate excessively and eventually die. Infected animals may shed prions in their urine, feces and saliva. Transmission may occur directly through contact with an infected animal or indirectly through environmental contamination. (A dead carcass can contaminate the soil.) Prions are extremely resilient in the environment and can stay infectious for years. Because the prions are shed in saliva, urine and feces, and they can persist in the
environment for a long time, chronic wasting disease is easily transmitted in areas where a large number of deer congregate. Feeding deer can cause large groups of them to crowd together in one area, increasing the chance of the disease spreading from one animal to the next. "Because the disease is so contagious, it is essential that residents do not feed deer or put out food that will attract them," DWR Veterinarian Ginger Stout said. "This includes putting out corn, hay, dog food or birdseed that deer might easily access. Although it may seem like a beneficial thing to do during the winter months, feeding deer actually accelerates the spread of chronic wasting disease because it causes the deer to congregate." Fortunately, the disease is not widespread throughout Utah, and is primarily found in a few counties in central, northeastern and southeastern Utah. The DWR takes CWD very seriously and conducts extensive monitoring each year to stay on top of the disease and its prevalence in the state. The recently updated and approved Mule Deer Management Plan includes a section on CWD that addresses ways to slow the spread of the disease in Utah. "We want to remain as proactive as possible to slow and prevent the spread of this disease," Stout said. "This is why it is essential that Utahns help us in fighting the spread of this disease by not feeding wildlife or causing them to congregate." While the Centers for Disease Control says the risk of transmission from animals to humans is considered extremely low, they recommend not consuming meat from animals infected with chronic wasting disease. Any deer that looks sick (i.e., has trouble walking, drools, has drooping ears or looks emaciated) should be reported to the nearest DWR office. Learn more about CWD in Utah on the DWR website. Other biological harm to wildlife Introducing the wrong type of food to wildlife can also harm them, especially during the winter. Deer are ruminants—mammals that acquire nutrients from plantbased food by fermenting it in a specialized stomach before digestion. Deer have four-part stomachs, and each stomach chamber progressively breaks down
woody, leafy and grassy foods into smaller particles. These stomach chambers contain microbes that are essential to digesting food. The type of microbes in a deer's digestive system gradually change throughout the year and are very specific to the food that is available. During the winter, deer primarily feed on sagebrush and other woody plants. Suddenly changing a deer's diet can easily lead to the deer eating food that it cannot readily digest. In these situations, deer often die from starvation with full stomachs. When deer congregate to feed, it's every deer for itself. The larger deer often push the smaller deer— the fawns— aside, and they often end up receiving less food than they would have received if people had left them alone. "This is why feeding deer and other wildlife is usually not a good idea," Jones said. "Although it sounds like an act of kindness and may sometimes help some animals get through the cold months, it can often create major problems." The DWR does occasionally feed deer in specific emergency situations when supplemental feeding is beneficial. For example, deer herds in critical wintering areas that are caught in unusually deep and long-lasting snow might benefit from winter feeding. When the DWR considers supplemental feeding, biologists carefully analyze whether the benefits will outweigh the disadvantages. If the agency decides to proceed, wildlife managers will allocate the necessary resources, determine special food mixtures and ensure the feeding takes place in an organized, targeted and strategic way that maximizes the benefits to the deer while minimizing the possible adverse consequences. The DWR sometimes feeds elk during the winter at the Hardware Wildlife Management Area to help prevent local agricultural damage from the large elk herds. However, the elk are routinely monitored and tested for disease, and the feed is specialized so as not to harm the animals.

February 21 - February 27 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. There are no bright planets in the evening sky (just Uranus, which is barely visible in binoculars), but Venus is brilliant in the morning sky and Mars is nearby. It’s still winter, and the sun still rises late, so it’s not hard to spot them before breakfast. Venus is the brilliant “Morning Star” that rises 2½ hours before the sun and is ¼ of the way up the eastern sky in late morning twilight. It remains in roughly the same position with respect to the sun until mid-summer, when it begins to move back closer to the sun, so we have several months to enjoy it in morning twilight. During those months, it’ll be close, in turn, to Mars and Saturn and very close to Jupiter, so if you’re up early and have a clear eastern horizon, there will be plenty to watch for. This week, Mars is 5° to the lower right of Venus, at the 5 o’clock position, and
you can see both together in most binoculars. Mars is only 100th as bright as Venus because Mars is four times farther away, has ¼ the surface area, and is half as reflective. Still, Mars is almost as bright as the brighter stars. Mars is presently on the far side of the sun, but it will be brighter than any star when it’s closest to earth in December. The waning crescent moon joins Venus and Mars on the mornings of the 26th and 27th; on the 26th, it’s to their right, and on the 27th, it’s directly below Mars (and very close to the horizon). On the morning of the 24th, the bright red star 4½° to the right of the moon is Antares, the “Rival of Mars” for its color, the brightest star in Scorpius and a star that is slightly brighter than Mars. You can see both together in binoculars—which every stargazer must have. If your sky is dark, notice
that Venus and Mars bracket the Milky Way, which runs diagonally between them. This part of the Milky Way is the brightest and widest part because we’re looking in the direction of the Milky Way’s center. Contrast with the Milky Way you see in the evening sky, near Orion, when we’re looking away from its center and which consequently is both fainter and narrower. On these long winter nights you can see and compare both sides. 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.
Boulder Planning: Additions or updates to language on
boundary adjustments, plat amendments, and vested rights to align with state legislation; public vs. private roads and amendments to the subdivision ordinance; and Action Items for 2022 discussed. Boulder Planning Cont'd from page 1
make it consistent and userfriendly. To align with state legislation and assist with overall clarity, language on boundary adjustments, plat amendments, and vested rights will be added and/or updated. Boundary adjustments and plat amendments involve the moving of property lines without the creation of any new properties. A vested right is relevant when an application for a project is approved and subsequently the town makes changes to the ordinances. The project is still subject to the ordinances at the time of its approval, rather than the changes made after its approval. Discussion ensued. Nellis explained that, following state legislation, in a platted subdivision, homes fall under the building code applicable at the time of their approval for ten years, regardless of what building code changes occur. This ten year period is a special circumstance that only applies to platted subdivisions. Discussion on time frames for building projects occurred. The amendment currently reads that a building project must commence within 180 days after the issuance of a building permit, and that the owner/builder then has 18 months to complete the building project, with the ability to apply for time extensions through the Zoning Administrator. Planning Commissioners discussed and considered at length whether it would be better to have it read that a builder does not have a specific time cap to finish the project, but instead must be able to show ongoing progress. Homes in Boulder often take longer than 18 months to be built. Points brought up included that it could be too much work to track ongoing progress, and that as long as an extension is easy to apply for, having a cap would be the simpler option. They decided that they would like to hear input from the public about this issue, and they will discuss more after the public hearing next month. Currently, changes that occur during the building process must be approved with the building inspector rather than with the town.
The amendment changes this so that in certain situations the builder/owner must seek approval from the town, via the Zoning Administrator. Nellis stated that the reason for this is so that what the town approves is what actually happens on the ground; for example, once a subdivision is approved, the contractor wouldn’t then be able to decide to move the location of a road without getting town approval. It was argued, however, that Boulder doesn’t have the resources to approve these types of changes and that they should remain at the discretion of the building inspector. More discussion will occur on this topic. Following this, the Planning Commission continued the discussion on public vs. private roads and amendments to the subdivision ordinance. An amendment has been written that applies specifically to minor lot subdivisions. Under this amendment, small subdivisions could be streamlined for approval as long as they meet a number of conditions. Discussion ensued about what constitutes a minor lot subdivision and what conditions should be in place. It was discussed that subdivisions of four or less lots should be considered minor lot subdivisions. Allowable uses within minor lot subdivisions were discussed, and language will be added to make it clear that agricultural activities are allowed. It was discussed whether the town should have discretion in 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). Currently, these types of lots are not allowed because of the width vs. length requirements in the ordinances, however, flag lots have certain advantages in terms of accessing a property, and, if an applicant
has solid reasons for wanting a flag lot, the town could decide to allow them. Water supply requirements were discussed. The amendment had stated that a lot in a minor subdivision must be connected to a water supply regulated by the state, however, this was changed to reflect that they just have to prove that they will be able to get water, either through the water company or by drilling a well. Another stipulation of minor lot subdivisions that they discussed was that building envelopes, when other sites are available, should not include irrigated lands. Building on irrigated lands could be an invitation to get moisture into the housing foundations, and could change town character by disrupting green space. The discretionary language in this part of the amendment was discussed; it was brought up that, in the past, the town hasn’t always successfully used discretionary clauses and that perhaps the wording should be kept more precise. At the last Town Council meeting, they decided to direct the Planning Commission to table the hydrologic study for the time being. Information is being gathered by the water company and will be shared once compiled. Action items for 2022 were discussed. The Town Council wants the Planning Commission to continue going through the ordinances, and also for them to look at roads, transportation, and possibly traffic. They may also consider affordable housing options. They will ask the Town Council if they would like them to pursue a sensitive lands study, as one has not been conducted in this area. The Boulder Town Planning Commission meets on the second Thursday of each month at 6pm. Next month’s meeting will include public hearings on the amendments discussed at this meeting.

A Contest to Change Glen Canyon Dam, 'Re-Wild' Colorado River by Mark Richardson, Utah News Connection
shuvro ghose / Adobe Stock
Glen Canyon Dam is 710 feet tall and impounds the Colorado River to form the 26-million-acre-foot Lake Powell reservoir. PAGE - A contest to "ReWild the Colorado River" is seeking engineering alternatives from the public for the future of Glen Canyon Dam. Conservation groups have maintained for years that Glen Canyon Dam is no longer useful and should be re-engineered to allow the Colorado River to flow freely again along the ArizonaUtah border. Daniel Beard, a former commissioner of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation,
said the massive structure has outlived its usefulness. "Because of climate change, the nature and distribution of precipitation in the Colorado River Basin has changed," he said. "Water is distributed from Lake Mead for a purpose—for drinking water supply, meeting international commitments and so forth. But Glen Canyon doesn't have a purpose like that." The dam was completed in the 1960s for water stor-
age and power generation. Over time, water levels have dropped, and the river's ecology has been degraded. However, powerful interests, including seven states and the federal government, want the multimillion-dollar structure to stay right where it is. In addition to restoring proper river flows, Beard said, bypassing Glen Canyon Dam could begin refilling Lake Mead, which is at the lowest level in its history.
"Dams are not permanent features on the landscape," he said. "They change, they deteriorate with age, they silt up—and they outlive their usefulness. And in the case of Glen Canyon Dam, it has no purpose in today's world." Gary Wockner, executive director of Save the Colorado, also a contest sponsor, said he hopes the competition can draw sharp minds that will produce an elegant solution. "Ideally," he said, "engineering students across the United States embrace the idea of putting in a proposal to either tear down Glen Canyon Dam or tunnel through Glen Canyon Dam, or tunnel around Glen Canyon Dam— some way to get the river flowing more freely." Along with Beard and Wockner, contest sponsors include Clark County, Nev., Commissioner Tick Segerblom and groups such as the Great Basin Water Network and Living Rivers. Organizers have said they're also looking for donations to increase the prize fund by the time the contest closes in November.
Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson Says ‘We’ve Lost Our Republic’ if Faith in Elections Erodes Utah’s lieutenant governor fielded questions about election security during a Spanish Fork town hall
SALT LAKE CITY Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson says as a conservative who believes in limited government, she doesn’t think the state should make unnecessary rules—especially when it comes to voting. She made the comment Thursday evening, February 10, at a Spanish Fork town hall, responding to an audience question about why requiring in-person voting with a form of photo identification is “akin to Jim Crow laws.” Henderson said that comparison isn’t accurate on its face. But she said she is concerned about making it harder to exercise the constitutional right to vote, such as by forcing people to cast a ballot only in person, on paper and with a pen or pencil. “Arbitrarily restricting access to the ballot is a violation of people’s constitutional right,” she said. “And I don’t think it’s the proper role of government to arbitrarily make things difficult for people.” “It’s worked for a hundred years,” one woman interjected from the audience. “We used to also ride horses everywhere, but now we drive cars,” Henderson said. “It’s very fair to be concerned. But it’s also fair, I think, to look at what actually is happening and to look at ways we can improve.” Part of Henderson’s responsibility as lieutenant governor is to oversee the state’s elections system, and she said she takes seriously her duty of safeguarding its security and promoting voter confidence. That’s one reason she decided to hold Thursday night’s meeting in the first place, she said. The future of democracy is at stake, she continued. “If we can’t rely on being able to go to the ballot box and voice our displeasure or our satisfaction through our vote, then we’ve lost our republic,” she said. “And that, to me, is incredibly frightening.” Gov. Spencer Cox and Henderson have both been defending Utah’s election system against attempts to cast doubt on it. In his State of the State address last month, Cox expressed concern that “unsub-

A 2019 audit conducted by the Legislature, she noted, concluded that the state’s election precautions prevented people from voting multiple times and were robust enough to prevent fraud. Utah also compares signatures on ballot envelopes with what the state has on file for the voter to verify the person’s identity, she said. Why is a forensic audit not allowed in Utah? “First of all, the term forensic audit when it comes to elections is something that’s fairly new,” Henderson responded. “I don’t know if anyone had heard of that in conjunction with an election before the 2020 election.” For that reason, it’s not entirely clear what people mean when they ask for this type of review, she said. However, Utah does audit its elections, she said. Cowley later explained that following an election, officials check a random sampling of ballots to make sure that the machines were tabulating them correctly. After vote totals are officially certified, federal law requires officials to seal election returns for 22 months and then to destroy them without opening them. “I have to follow the law, and the law says that those re-
information when so many voters believe in fake facts? Henderson said the best way of battling falsehoods is by studying up on correct information. For example, Utahns can take a tour of their county clerk’s offices and ask questions about the election processes in place for their area, she said. “You may not like the process. You may not like mail-in voting, and that’s OK,” she said. “But we want to make sure people understand that that process is secure and votes are counted accurately.” This article was originally published on the Salt Lake Tribune on February 11, 2022.
