Group Member Rescued After Becoming Wedged in Slot Canyon

WAYNE COUNTY On Saturday March 23, 2019 at approximately 7:09 pm, Wayne County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue was dispatched to Chambers Flat Canyon in Robbers Roost area. A group was finishing a rappel when one member of the group was on his way out and became wedged in the narrow slot canyon. Wayne County Sheriff's Office and Search and Rescue members responded to the canyon along with Utah Department of Public Safety Aero Bureau. Twelve members of the Search and Rescue team were flown down from the Chambers Flat Canyon trail head to begin setting up their rappel system. At approximately 12:09 am Search and Rescue members began their descent into Rescue Cont'd on page 2

Gila Monster Officially Named Utah State Reptile

Approves Glamping Restrictions, Land Purchase in Panguitch March 25

Utah officially has a state reptile: the Gila monster. SALT LAKE CITY Utah has long had a state flag, a state emblem and even a state cooking pot. (It's the Dutch oven.) Now, with Wednesday's signing of HB144, Utah officially has a

Teasdale Cultural Hall Update: May 6, 2019—Put This Date on Your Calendar by Bonnie Mangold

An empty Teasdale Cultural Hall that, with its purchase and revitalization, represents all of the possible events and social gatherings that could occur in this historic building once again. TEASDALE - Why should May 6 be on your calendar? Because the Teasdale Historical Society has chosen that date, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM, for an informal community open house at the Teasdale Cultural Hall, a.k.a. Amusement Hall or Dance Hall.

If you have an interest in this extraordinary, iconic building recently purchased by our local Teasdale Historical Society, May 6th is the opportunity to stop by, reacquaint yourself with the building in its current state before any repairs and restoration are undertaken, visit with folks who know its history, and meet neighbors. There will be a more formal opening of the

building at a later point, most likely in conjunction with a fund-raising event—possibly near the end of May. The Teasdale Historical Society’s recent board meeting started out like any other boring, “just the facts please” board meeting: getting the minutes approved, the finan-

New Mexico and parts of California. The Gila River in New Mexico is the namesake for the species. Snow Canyon State Park, designated trails in the Red Cliffs Reserve and the BLM Red Cliffs recreation area are the most likely places to see a Gila monster in Utah. People are most likely to see them during the day in April and May, but they may also be seen through June, July and August, especially on warm summer nights. The large, heavy-bodied lizards primarily eat tortoise and bird eggs, as well as baby cottontail rabbits and other small mammals that can't move quickly. Gila monsters can eat up to 33 percent of their body weight in a single meal — and it digests slowly — so they only eat three or four times a year. As a result, they spend 95 percent of their time out of sight in burrows and below ground while their food digests. Gila monsters typically live up to 25 years, and some Gila Monster Cont'd on page 3

GARFIELD COUNTY The Garfield County Commission approved ordinance 2019-2, otherwise known as the “glamping ordinance” at their March 25 public hearing and regular meeting. The only public comment came from Utah State Fire Marshall Coy Porter. It was Kaden Figgins, he said, who introduced him to the term “glamping.” He said over the past year or two, industries have been finding new ways to serve the public— mobile fueling where you pre-register your credit card and someone

shows up at your GPS coordinates to fill your tank, or peer-to-peer storage in which you turn your basement or garage into a storage unit for other people on the app. “Firefighters can’t anticipate that the basement in a private home may be stuffed floor to ceiling with someone else’s mattresses. Current fire code never covers all these things; it tends to react after the fact,” Porter said. After researching glamping options around Utah,

ESCALANTE - After performing together for two and a half years, Jessica Frogley and Carl Dede played a farewell jazz concert together at the 4th West Pub in Escalante on March 22. Frogley's soulful voice filled the room, with Dede masterfully strumming his guitar. To the knowing, though, there was a hint of sadness in the notes and chords, juxtaposed appropriately with the bluesy set list. "It is bittersweet," states Frogley. "It was great that a ton of people came from Boulder and Escalante. We filled the house! But Carl is leaving and it's sad." Dede will soon be moving to Missoula, Montana. —Insider

Fees vs Product

(1) Panguitch City’s ordinance – “Any project of value $1,000 or more must have city approval. The owner is required to get city government’s approval (first from Panguitch City Planning and Zoning Committee then from the city council) . ---------“. Panguitch city government has no qualified person to understand project and project’s values. (2) With Panguitch City government’s approval, the owner or contractor is required to go to Garfield County Building Inspector Department for permit. Garfield County goes by IBC (International Building Code) which requires permit for all commercial properties to have county permit regardless of value of the project. Garfield County Building Permit Department collects permit fees for both – Garfield county and Panguitch City. (3) Confusion – There is no clarity on fees vs. product. Example – Garfield County Building Inspection fees for inspection + compliance of codes. Panguitch City’s fees for what ? (4) Garfield County (vast in area) has one inspector to make sure the construction meets the codes (numerous visit to construction site for code compliance). (5) Code compliance is different than ability / expertise to value the project. One can build something of worth $500,000 but permit is for $100,000. Who is responsible for this ? (6) Who is responsible for one not bothering to have permit at all ? How is enforcement issue addressed ? (7) Bottom Line is – there are people who are not paying what they are required to pay means they are eating your lunch. There is no system in place (enforcement on violators, real values of projects, etc.). (8) Backward Africa, Cuba style – accept pay to play system in local governments. (9) Yes. People building things without any permit or injecting capital with permit of less than 1/5th value. (10) If you see a project (renovation, remodeling, construction, etc.) going on but restrained by distance, time, etc; let HARSHAD P.

est groups," "environmental groups," and "outside activists" he said were organizing a "hostile takeover" of small counties. (Everything in quotation marks is taken from official state audio recordings.) He said these groups were "undermining the will of the people" who were being "manipulated and forced into" changing their government. Garfield Commissioner Leland Pollock also spoke that day. He said the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance had put Prop 19 on the Wayne County ballot in November. He said the bill was necessary because the voters "really didn't even know what they're voting for." Rep. Lyman then said HB0257 was not restrictive, but was intended to protect small, "vulnerable" counties. At both the February 20 hearing and another on February 22, Rep. Lyman was asked by multiple House members which groups were manipulating and pushing the small counties against their will. Lyman gave no specifics, simply saying they were being "pushed by outside groups." Pressed for more specifics, Lyman would only say "environmental groups." At the end of the February 22 hearing he said the "Garfield Commission came to me" about this. On March 11th, Rep. Lyman addressed a Senate com-

Considerations... In rural Utah nothing much seems to change through the years. Our local elected representatives, probably taking their cues from our Congress Critters, are still attempting to support their positions - and denigrate their perceived opposition - with lies, misinformation and innuendo. At some point in time shouldn’t we begin asking ourselves why? If one takes a position on an issue should not that issue be able to stand and be truthfully defended on its own merits? Why, then, does such overwhelming deceit become necessary to convince your con-

stituents of your righteousness and the merits of your issue? Perhaps this is the only form of government they have come to understand and embrace. Perhaps they perceive it as an accepted avenue to reelection. We refuse to accept such untoward behavior from our family and friends. Why then should we condone it when practiced by our elected officials? Consider the value you place on truth when you receive your next election ballot. Dick Teasdale, Torrey

A couple of years ago the Garfield County Board of County Commissioners passed a resolution declaring Garfield County as a economic disaster zone. I've just learned that even among this disaster there is a bright spot. The members of the Garfield County Commmission are doing very well, thank you. We pay them between roughly $80,000 and $100,000/ yr. Adding together their salaries and benefit packages they make approximately 40% more than the commissioners in Wayne,

Kane and San Juan Counties do. Iron County, which has 10 times the population, pays their commissioners close to, but still less than we do. I have been told we also provide each commissioner with a new pickup truck every year. They will of course collect retirement benefits for life upon retiring. The old adage is "we get the government we deserve." I wonder if we are getting what we are paying for. David Hensel, Boulder

"We get the government we deserve"

mittee, repeating his claims about outside groups. Sen. Weiler asked Lyman for "specifics" about which counties and which groups were involved. Lyman again avoided naming any group, but he too pointed to Wayne County. He said the "effort and outreach was funded by a group external to Wayne County." Faulty Information Because the accusations of outside influence formed the primary justification for HB0257, it is important to set the record straight. Two big facts stand out: First, there has been no effort from inside or outside Garfield County to initiate a change in government. Second, the statement that the effort in Wayne County to form a study committee was funded by an outside group is completely false. I was one of the Wayne County citizens who worked to put Prop 19 on the ballot. We thought up the idea ourselves, we gathered signatures ourselves, we published factual information ourselves, we wrote letters to the editor ourselves, and we paid for two public mailings ourselves. Period. There was zero outside involvement in our effort. I do not know Rep. Ly-

man's or Commissioner Pollock's sources. I suppose it's possible they dreamed it up by themselves. More likely someone else provided them with this faulty justification for HB0257. Whatever the origins, the information is wrong and honorable people would retract it. At the least, Rep. Lyman should find a more truthful reason for curtailing voters' rights. There were other good reasons HB0257 failed. Rep. Lyman said outside groups "undermine the will of the people." Ironically, HB0257 did that very thing. The Utah Constitution states, "The Legislature shall…. provide for optional forms of county government." HB0257 would have left the eight smallest counties with no options. It is sad that Rep. Lyman and Commissioner Pollock appear to believe their voters can't think for themselves. It is sad when well meaning citizens exercising their rights under the law is called a "hostile takeover." But the worst thing is that a bill based on fabricated information almost became Utah law. Bill Barrett Torrey, Utah

Letter to the Insider

It was awesome to pull The Insider from my mailbox and see the faces of our Garfield County Sterling Scholars. These students will represent our district at the Region Sterling Scholar competition in Cedar City on April 4th. Some of the kids I know better than others but I know they are all amazing students in being prepared for this competition. I appreciate having The Insider available and provided at no cost to all residents of Garfield and Wayne Counties. I love the stories of our students. I also appreciate having a place to advertise the arts events we provide through the Boulder Arts Council. It has

also been such a service to be able to know what is happening at many of the meetings in our county and communities even if I am unable to attend. The Insider also helps the school district advertise when we are hiring educators. I’m sure other businesses appreciate that opportunity too. Thanks to The Insider I know when someone has died or are getting married. I love sitting in my easy chair and reading the newspaper each week. Thank you for providing this service of keeping our communities informed. Cheryl Cox, Boulder

The

Rep. Phil Lyman introduced HB0257 in the legislature in early February. The final, amended version required the eight smallest Utah counties (Garfield and Wayne included) to operate with three-member commissions only; the other three government options were prohibited. Since all eight counties already have three-member commissions, HB0257 meant it would be pointless to study, let alone change, their forms of government. After two early amendments, HB0257 failed in a House committee. Subsequently it received a small tweak, and was approved in the committee and in the full House. It went to the Senate where it was voted down in committee. Three days later the legislature adjourned with no further action and HB0257 died. So if the bill died, why am I writing this? I do so because it is important to correct the faulty information on which HB0257 was based. False information should not go unchallenged. As the old saying goes: people are entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts. The Justification for HB0257 At the first House Committee hearing on February 20, Rep. Lyman repeatedly referred to "special inter-

A Local Tradition: Honey, Bees, and Beekeeping

The Insider

Page 3

WAYNE COUNTY - Beekeeping has a rich local history. In a 1898 issue of the Deseret News, Franklin Wheeler Young stated that “bees do well here.” Since sugar had to be shipped long distances, it was very expensive for early pioneers to buy. Many settlers brought a “stand of bees” with them to produce honey for their family and to help pollinate crops, orchards, and gardens. Families traded honey for household goods. By 1911, there were 24 colonies of bees in Fruita alone. Cal Pendleton, Leo used By perMission, uintaH County liBrary regional History Center, all rigHts reserved.

in captivity have been recorded to live as long as 38 years. While they are not a federally endangered species, Gila monsters are protected in each of the states where they live, and it is illegal to capture or move a Gila monster found in the wild. The lizards can range in color from yellow with black bands to orange or pink with black bands. Gila monsters can't change their color during their lifetime, but generations of populations have changed color over time to better adapt and camouflage to their environment. Gila monsters are one of two venomous lizard species in North America. However, because they are slow-moving and underground the majority of their life, they aren't a very large threat to people. No human deaths have been reported since the early 1930s when, according to folklore,

an intoxicated pool-hall operator allegedly died after poking his thumb into the mouth of a Gila monster. But, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources officials said the claim was never confirmed. While fatal in large doses, the venom also has some remarkable medicinal properties. Researchers in the 1980s captured a Gila monster and made some amazing discoveries when they extracted its venom. A peptide called exendin-4 was discovered from Gila monster venom samples that originated in southwestern Utah. It has now become a leading new drug for treating Type 2 diabetes. The drug, now known as Exenatide, can be synthesized in a laboratory and it's no longer necessary to extract exendin-4 from Gila monsters. If you do get lucky enough to see a Gila monster in the wild, do not attempt to grab or touch one. They are slow-moving animals and are

harmless when left alone. Bites are very rare and are usually the result of harassing the reptile. If you do happen to be bitten by a Gila monster, here's what to do: • Remain calm. • If necessary, remove the Gila monster using a sturdy lever to pry open the jaws. • Immediately transport the bitten individual to a medical facility. • Remove jewelry, watches and restrictive clothing from the affected limb. Because sightings of the reptiles are so rare, people should report when and where they see Gila monsters to the DWR. People can email photos and descriptions of where they saw a Gila monster to DWR biologist Ann McLuckie at annmcluckie@utah.gov or they can report the sighting by calling 435-879-8694. —Utah Division of Wildlife Resources

Utah Legislature Approves 3-Year Bachelor Degree Program at SUU

Money Tips for Students

Compare Award Letters to Find Best College Deal UTAH - Most high school seniors headed for college will soon be receiving financial aid award letters. Seniors and their parents should read those letters carefully, KHEAA advises. The letter will usually show the total cost of attendance for one year, including tuition, fees, room, meals, books, supplies, transportation and personal expenses. It may also show how much the student’s family is expected to pay toward those costs, the expected family contribution (EFC). The EFC is subtracted from the total cost of attendance to get a student’s financial need. The

by tiM Ballard letter will then list various sources of financial aid offered to pay for the costs not covered by the EFC. Students can accept or reject any or all of those proposed sources. Students can also appeal the awards if their family’s financial circumstances have changed. One consideration is how much of the aid being offered is in federal student loans, which have to be repaid. If the package includes federal loans and isn’t enough to pay all expenses, students may be looking at a private loan. Comparison shopping is a must in that case. But don’t choose a school

based simply on cost. A more expensive college can be a better choice than a less expensive one that isn’t a good fit. Transferring or dropping out can increase the total cost of a college degree. KHEAA is a public, nonprofit 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.

Wills, Trusts, and More

Changing Your Will or Trust

t H e

by Jeffery J. MCkenna The situation is common. A client has a will or trust prepared by legal counsel. Sometime later the client wishes to make changes to the estate plan. The question is, how should those changes be made? First, one should never hand write or type changes to the face of an existing will or trust. The cost of paying for a properly drafted and executed change to an existing estate plan document is far less than the amount that the beneficiaries and estate administrator would pay to separate legal counsel to determine the effect of the handwritten change. Any estate planning attorney could share experiences of negative effects on families caused by handwritten changes to estate planning documents. Although no one wants to create problems between beneficiaries of the estate, even small handwritten changes can create great problems. The question is always what should govern – the handwritten change or the original provision? The question is almost never clear and

can almost always be argued either way. Additionally, there is almost always a question as to whose handwriting it really is. The legal formalities that exist with respect to executing estate planning documents and changes to those documents were developed to prevent the first person that finds the will or trust from changing the terms by penning or typing changes of their own to the document. The necessary formalities are not satisfied when handwritten or typed changes are made to the document. It is important to note that in almost all situations, one can, with proper assistance, effectively change an estate plan. Although some estate tax savings trusts (life insurance trusts, credit shelter trusts, etc.) are not amendable, most estate planning trusts are revocable, amendable trusts. Additionally, wills are almost always revocable and amendable. In conclusion, almost all estate planning instruments are amendable. Although the documents can be changed, it is almost never a good idea to change the documents by

Handwriting or typing on the face of the document will almost certainly lead to questions about the effect or validity of such changes. Such uncertainty will likely result in disputes between beneficiaries. These disputes can be both financially and emotionally draining.

There will be a celebration held in their honor at The Mill Lodge on Thursday April 11, 2019 from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm 1475 South Highway 24, Lyman UT and one at The Farmington Arts Center on Saturday April 13, 2019 from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm, 120 South Main, Farmington UT Vanessa is the daughter of Curtis and Carol Vernon of Farmington, Utah, grandaughter of Thomas Vernon and Verna Vernon of Pittsburgh, and Glenand Blanche Anderson of Boise Idaho. She is a graduate of Davis High School, received her bachelors from Utah State University and is currently earning a masters degree from Gonzaga. She works as an employee benefits advisor in Salt Lake City. Trent is the son of Riley and Joni Taylor of Bicknell Utah, grandson of Grant and Nancy Mecham of Vernal Utah, and of Dunk and Vera Taylor of Bicknell Utah. Trent is a graduate of Wayne High School, Snow College and earned his bachelors and masters degrees from Utah State University. He is currently working as a Civil Engineer in Bountiful Utah. The couple will be making their home in Farmington Utah.

The news this time of the year is March Madness. It is a great event that starts with 64 teams and is over within 3 weeks. Utah State was the only entry from Utah, and they lost out in the second round. By this reading, they will be down to the championship games on Monday and Tuesday of next week. I quite like Duke, but they only won their last two games by a combined 3 points. They do have a player by the name of Zion Williamson who looks like a bigger Labron James and, boy, can he fly. He is a freshman and is expected to be the #1 pick in the NBA Draft. Anyway, they will be down to 4 teams on Friday. The NBA playoffs will be starting in a couple of weeks and this will be the first time since 2004 that Labron won’t be in the playoffs and he has competed in the last 8 championship games. The NBA second season could go clear till June. The best kept secret is that Major League baseball season is underway. The season is 160 games long and goes on and on. Mike Trout, who signed for 400 million dollars over 12 years, is off to a good start with two homeruns so far. We took a nice trip up to the Lake last week. The lake is beautifully frozen all over and has a nice coat of snow covering it. There were quite a few ice fishermen out on their favorite fishing hole. I haven’t heard if anyone is catching anything yet. We kept going on up the road to Mammoth turnoff, (Highway 143 has about 6 feet of snow piled up

going up to Cedar Breaks). The road is really well maintained and the snow is quite high and it makes for a beautiful trip. Last Tuesday, a ban on bump stocks went in to effect. The NRA sued the President for signing the ban, but the Supreme Court refuses to review the case. In Boise, Idaho the largest supplier of bump stocks turned in 60,000 of these devices to be destroyed. Washington State offers a buyback program that proved so popular that it ran out of money. It is estimated that there are a half-million devices believed to be in circulation in the U.S. Anyone in possession of a bump stock from now on can be charged with a federal offense punishable by up to 10 years in prison. The President has filed a law suit against the Affordable Health Insurance, declaring it unconstitutional. This will leave 20 million people without insurance. This the 59th time that the insurance program has been challenged. The States Medicaid program started last Monday, so if you think that you qualify, get signed up. With the high cost of hospital care, it could cost you dearly without it. Our Senator Lee made most of the late night comic shows. His solution for global warming is to go out and get married and have a whole lot of kids. His pictures of what we will be driving in the future were just dumb and an embarrassing scene for Utah.

Teasdale Cultural Hall

able article for The Insider. But when it got down to the types of events and uses that might be suitable, things got interesting…and eventually quite entertaining. Who knew home-brewed root beer could have such interesting consequences? Well, maybe you will hear that story if there is ever a homemade ice cream and root beer social at the hall. My guess is there will be. And, maybe Amusement Hall is the more appropriate name; however the issue of the appropriate name could be up for debate for some time. The brain-storming over what types of events might occur at the revitalized hall included ideas such as a Teasdale Town Reunion, quilt raffles, music events, old films, weddings, memorials, other private events, interpretive programs, garage sales, theater, meetings, and talks by some of our more colorful local residents. The policy committee will have to figure out what fees to charge to cover costs of heating, electricity, maintenance, etc. for private events, and of course many events will be fundraisers to help raise the needed monies for repairs and restoration. (More on that in a bit.) Scheduling will eventually happen online, through a “google calendar” to be housed on the web-site. At this point in the meeting I got a peek into what I believe is really energizing the Teasdale Historical Society. I sensed that these are folks who have known and wish to know again, what real community is. They care. The first news article about the Amusement Hall included the idea that this building promoted a stronger community during its creation and earlier uses. The board members understand that it can serve this function once again, and they also understand the need for such in

our current era. The last 50 years have brought many changes and advances to our society and culture, but at a cost. We have lost things that bring us together in harmony. E-mail, Facebook and Twitter are not an adequate substitute for sharing delicious homemade foods, dancing with someone you didn’t really know before, talking with someone at length, or laughing with others at a silly film. Few projects of worth are about the material things per se—even a wonderful old building—rather they are about what these things facilitate and what they represent. The building itself represents the past effort by an entire town to make something good happen. We have a chance to recreate that. The space itself can accommodate all those types of events for which it is named, renamed, and renamed again. Perhaps the three different names that have been used might actually reflect the changes that have occurred in our culture over these last 100 years. Even though the pioneering families had to work very hard physically to survive, is it possible that they also had more fun during the off-work times? Perhaps they laughed more and enjoyed the company of fellow citizens to a greater degree than we do today. Perhaps Amusement Hall was a very appropriate name for this space. During the lifetimes of many of our current Teasdale residents Dance Hall became the favored name for this Tabernacle-look-a-like building, which still implies good times and good feelings. (This is the name that I believe is closest to the hearts of the board members.) Later it was officially designated the Teasdale Cultural Hall, which doesn’t sound nearly as enjoyable as Amusement Hall. It seems a bit formal, rather

The Board obviously thinks so. The serious side is of course how to raise the needed money. The Utah State grant that was to be used for repairs and restoration has had to be applied to the purchase price, given that the expected donation of the building did not occur. Thanks to Torrey Town the Society has been able to apply for a matching grant available through qualified local government entities, for historic preservation efforts, that would provide for architectural and engineering surveys of the building with rehab specifications. Also covered would be the research and preparation for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. Other grants then become available for historic buildings, including possibilities of Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area funds. However, it will be a long haul and it will take all of us helping in various ways to make this dream a reality. It is a dream we can all share, and that gives it power. Speaking of sharing: • Donations by check can be mailed to the Teasdale Historical Society, PO Box 57, Teasdale, UT 84773. • Online donations are via the web-site: teasdalehistoricalsociety.org through Pay-Pal • If interested in volunteering please e-mail info@ theths.org See you May 6th.

Composting: A Creative Twist on Spring Cleaning Callie Ward, usu extension garfield County This time of year has us thinking about de-cluttering our homes and getting our yards and gardens ready for summer. In the process of all this spring cleaning, we often create a fair amount of trash. Everything from broken housewares to branches and yard trimmings are gathered up for the garbage man to haul away. But does it really go “away” or are there some better alternatives? In 2013, solid waste disposal facilities regulated by the State of Utah collected

more than 4 million tons of non-hazardous waste; this figure doesn’t include all the collection happening at private, city or county facilities across the state. Nationally, the Environmental Protection Agency reports that 251 million tons of trash were collected in 2012. Despite advances in landfill technology, the vast majority of the garbage you want out of sight, out of mind becomes stationary in the landfill — some of it will be stationary forever because it

will never break down into something usable in our soils. What is one thing you can do this spring/summer to make a difference? Consider getting your yard ready for composting! Yard and garden waste and food scraps amount to 28 percent of the total national figures on waste collected. When yard, garden and food waste go to the landfill, the nutrients still present in the material are wasted (no pun intended). In fact, large amounts of organic materials

such as leaves and grass clippings produce adverse gasses as they decompose in the landfill setting. Utah State University Extension has great resources on composting to help you get started. Check out the many ways you can compost below. The benefits will be great: you’ll be saving the landfill of bulk and getting a useable product in return!

When in Doubt, Write it Out I’ve received emails the last few weeks with a myriad of property questions. Keep the questions coming as I learn along with you about property issues and can hopefully help you find solutions to your legal questions. Remember, I prefer to inform rather than advise in this column, so I recommend reading the column with the other side and seeing if you can come to a neighborly resolution with your property disputes. Fencing Ordinances. The state of Utah allows counties to make fencing ordinances and create a general policy within each county for fencing of farms, subdivisions, and other private property. This ordinance defines a lawful fence. I recommend contacting your county planning and zoning office to gain access to the ordinances. For Sevier County, this is Jason Mackelprang at (435) 8930420. In Garfield County, contact Kaden Figgins at (435) 676-1157. Piute Coun-

ty’s planner is Verl Bagley and he can be reached at (435) 577-2505 Ext. 1. Lastly, Wayne County’s planning and zoning contact is Commissioner Blackburn. He can be contacted with the general Wayne County government number, (435) 836-1300. Contribution to a Boundary Fence. When agricultural neighbors in Utah have a fence between their properties, the adjoining landowner can require their neighbor to pay for one half of the cost of the fence if it separates the property, is a reasonable, cost, and customary fence for the area. If the neighbor refuses, the neighbor can be civilly sued for monetary relief due to the damage the unmaintained fence caused to the adjoining landowner. You can find out more by looking at the Utah Code, § 4-26-103. Leasing agricultural land. Agricultural leases are like other commercial lease contracts. And like commercial lease contracts, every-

thing agreed upon should be written within the contract and the intent of the contract must be very clear. If the tenant can “use” the land, does that mean they can grow crops, graze, or hunt it? Do they have access to the water shares? Can She's your local lawyer! they put their equipment on the property? For contract.

TORREY - Arthur Adelmann passed away peacefully at home in Torrey, Utah, on March 18, 2019, at the age of 79. Because of his gift for making deep and lasting friendships, he will be sorely missed by many. Arthur was born on March 2, 1940, to Arthur and Gertrude (Shuman) Adelmann in Newark, New Jersey. Later, the family moved to a farm near Blairstown, New Jersey, and Arthur attended Blair Academy. Arthur graduated cum laude from the University of Miami, Florida, with a Bachelor’s degree in Art, German, and French. He also spent one year (1959-60) at the University of Munich, Germany. In 1965, he completed a Master of Arts degree at the University of California, Berkeley, and went on to earn a Master of Fine Arts degree in art history and painting from the University of Utah in 1975. In 1966, Arthur moved from California to Ogden, Utah, to accept a teaching position in the Art Department at Weber State College. His tenure at Weber lasted 35 years. He retired from Weber State University as a Tenured Professor of Art in 2001. In addition to many exhibitions of his work in Ogden (WSU Stewart Library; Universe City; Eccles Community Art Center), Salt Lake City, and St. George, Utah, Arthur also participated as solo-artist in exhibitions in Trinkkerhalle, Timmendorfer Strand, Germany; Galere Racine, Nice, France; Galerie in der Loft, Zurich-Dietlikon, Switzerland; Korrespondenzen, City Archives, Leipzig, Germany; Crocket Gallery, Las Vegas, Nevada; and Union Court Gallery, San Francisco, California. His work was also featured in many group exhibitions throughout Utah, as well as Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada; Festival pour la Mer, Marseille, France; LeMerite Artistique European France, St Aignan; and The Contemporary Art Invitational, Moulin du Theil, Billy, France. Twenty-four of his works are on permanent display in the Performing Arts building at Weber State University. Arthur’s vision regarding his art is best described in his own words—“As I work, I bring my own meanings and symbols to the paintings. I hope that some of them will find resonance in viewers.” Arthur’s many awards include: The Outstanding Achievement Award in Drawing from The National Congress of Art & Design, Salt Lake City, 1986; The LeMerite Artistique European Frank, Medaille d’Or (Gold Medal), 1995; Mayor’s Award, Municipality of Saint-Cannat (D-Day Celebration), 1997; and The Weber State University John S. Hinkley Fellowship Award for “Outstanding Performance” in teaching, scholarship, and service, 1999. In 1973, Arthur met his partner and soul mate, Steven Wood. They shared 27 years together, until Steven’s death in January of 2000. They traveled often throughout the United States and Europe, and maintained a beautiful, very special, home in Ogden Canyon, where friends and family felt honored to visit. Shortly after Steven’s death, Arthur retired and moved to Torrey, Utah. He continued to paint, exhibit, and travel. As time and nature eased his grief, he created another wonderful home for friends and family visitors, where he loved to tend his lovely houseplants, his terrace vegetable garden, read in several languages, and cook fabulous food. He loved to visit nearby Capitol Reef Park and enjoyed encountering visitors there, on his walks through Grand Wash. He often said he felt privileged and sometimes overwhelmed to live in such a beautiful spot. Arthur was an enormous presence in the lives of all who knew him. Many of whom were his students. He taught them about life first and art second. His joy was in the beauty which he always found around him, and he delighted in showing young people how they could create that beauty—not just on paper, but in their lives. His students were inspired. Arthur loved food and drink, music, literature, but most of all he loved people. Wherever he went, he reached out to people and was able to engage them immediately in ways that endeared him to them. He has many friends in many countries. All will miss jolly, loving, kind, caring, adventurous, sometimes exasperating, and often downright silly Arthur. His death leaves a void that hurts the hearts of many who are so thankful to have had him in their lives and are sadly trying to adjust to life without him. Arthur is survived by his brother William (Edith) Adelmann, several nieces and nephews, and his friends. He was preceded in death by his brother, Ralph Adelmann, and sister, Eleanor A. Ring. Celebrations of Arthur’s life are being planned to take place in Utah, dates to be announced. If you would like to receive information regarding these celebrations, please email your name, address and phone number to arthuradelmannmemorial@comcast.net

Garfield Commission Cont'd from page 1

Porter said his office would like to use the Garfield County ordinance as a model ordinance for other counties and municipalities. He said the proposed ordinance appropriately addresses access roads, turnarounds, detection systems, separation between structures, and vegetation clearances. Of primary concern, he noted, is the potential remoteness from the core of towns. “Seventy-five percent of the fire service in Utah is volunteer,” he said. “Glamping units may or may not have access to fire hydrants, so fire suppression has to be delivered on the truck, usually carrying 250 to 500 gallons. The glamping unit may be only seven minutes away from a fire unit. But that doesn’t mean the volunteers are all that close. In the best case, he said, it still takes time for staff to get to the station and then respond. Another big concern is a fire that starts in a yurt or tent and spreads to public land. Porter said people sometimes have unrealistic expectations of response time when they’re in recreational facilities away from an urban environment. He said his office provided the background information for the ordinance from the current International Building Code. (Current version being 2015 IABC. He said the updated 2018 version that will be available on July 1 doesn’t contain significant changes in this regard.) Following the public comment, Commissioners returned to the regular meeting. Commissioner David Tebbs said the ordinance may not address every scenario, but he’s “comfortable now with what we have.” Commissioner Leland Pollock said even though “Garfield County must be the volunteer capital of the world, it’s hard to get volunteers in some of these areas to go fight these fires. We don’t want tourists camping in the middle of nowhere in a potentially unsafe situation without some sort of ground rules to protect them.” The Commissioners voted unanimously to approve the ordinance. (Commissioner Jerry Taylor was present at the meeting by phone.) Moving to another topic, Panguitch Mayor Kim Soper addressed the Commission with a funding request. Panguitch City has been negotiating purchase of a condemned property in the middle of town with the idea of demolishing the existing structures and putting in a city square and park. He said the bottom line was $160K to buy the property, and the city is requesting assistance with half of that. Commissioner Pollock agreed the condemned area “has been a public nuisance

forever, right in the middle of town and now it can be used for a public purpose.” County Clerk Camille Moore added that this would be a city/ county partnership in the same way as the Triple C Arena and the fairgrounds. The funding could come from the county’s Fire and Rec budget. Tebbs reminded the Commission that Main Street revitalization has been going on and this project complements that effort. The Commission approved spending up to the $80K requested. On another Panguitch matter, Mayor Soper described the ongoing problem of people dumping construction waste and other inappropriate items in the household garbage dumpsters. He said the city got together with Hughes Waste Haulers, a Panguitch business, who brought in three roll-offs next to the regular dumpsters: one for construction, one for mattresses, and one for yard waste. People are using those as intended, to the extent that they need to be emptied twice a week, Soper said. He wanted to talk to the county about sharing some of those costs. He said the city also installed cameras at the dumpsters and have actually been able to go back to individuals and tell them to remove unallowed items or be fined. Commissioner Tebbs said these were good ideas to think about for other communities as well. Commissioner Pollock agreed that the county should try to come up with a model for everyone. Other items mentioned at the meeting: • Commissioner Tebbs— recognition of National Muscular Dystrophy Day; meetings held by the three Prevention Coalition centers in the county; availability of a sandbagging machine from county emergency services; community fire plans underway across the county. • Commissioner Taylor— working with Ticaboo representatives on future plans with their fire station; meeting with Sharlene Wells and NeighborWorks on funding for low/medium income housing; plans to meet with BLM to discuss dinosaur displays at the visitor center. • Commissioner Pollock — Jail funding received only $600K of the $2.3M requested from the legislature; Panguitch City received the NRCS grant money that was needed for repair of their firedamaged watershed; $2M procurement for the Watershed Restoration Initiative (WRI) that will be used on a variety of watershed and forest projects; concern about HB229 and changes it would require by adding a committee to vet BLM land acquisition for local

County Engineer Brian Bremner described the ongoing project saying to be able to de-list prairie dogs in Garfield County from the Endangered Species list the county needs to show five consecutive years of moving at least 1000 prairie dogs. The Commission approved an allocation not to exceed $23K for the seasonal position, assuming the additional funding pledged from Panguitch, Bryce Canyon City, and Hatch. • Economic Development — ED Director Kaden Figgins

presented a resolution for the Commission to approve requesting a temporary wage adjustment to state’s Rural Fast Track program. Garfield County meets the necessary unemployment requirements. Lowering the allowable wage rate expands the availability of the program to more businesses, the results of which mean more potential match funding to cover job creation and capital investments such as new building construction, new or upgraded equipment, and value-added agricultural products. It does not include nonprofit or retail businesses and does not include purchase of non-specialized vehicles, computers, or raw land. Businesses that have been operational and profitable for the past two years and having at least two full-time employees would be eligible to apply for the state program. The Commission approved the Resolution authorizing the adjustment. (Kaden Figgins can provide a copy of the resolution along with

a description of the details of the Rural Fast Track program for businesses.) • Planning: Planner Kaden Figgins said modifications to the Zoning Ordinance Chapters 8 and 9 (Conditional Use Permits and Planned Unit Developments, respectively) will be available for public hearing on April 22. • Commissioners approved a request from Escalante High School track team representatives for $5K

UTAH - The warmer weather means it’s time to start thinking about home improvement projects. Whether you’re getting your home in tip-top shape for your own enjoyment, or getting it ready to put on the market, not all home improvement projects are created equal when it comes to return on investment (ROI). Here are top areas on which to focus: Interiors The kitchen is the heart of the home and it’s one of the best areas to renovate in terms of ROI, according to Remodeling magazine’s annual Cost vs. Value Report, which puts the price tag of the average minor kitchen remodel at $22,507, with 80.5 percent of the cost recouped upon resale. To give the kitchen an updated appearance, replace the flooring, countertops, sink and faucet. A fresh coat of paint in a trendy shade, such as Living Coral, Pantone’s Color of the Year, can add a vibrant pop of color to energize any kitchen. Not looking to go that bold? Consider an accent wall, or stick to a classic palate of gray and white in

terms of cabinets and countertops. White on white is also a popular new style for kitchens and bathrooms. Other features home buyers are paying close attention to are laundry rooms and such energy-saving elements as Energy Star appliances and windows, according to the survey “What Home Buyers Want in 2019” by the National Association of Home Builders. Curb Appeal The popularity of outdoor projects remains strong and it’s for a good reason. According to the Cost vs. Value Report, the biggest bang for your buck in 2019 will come from replacing a garage door. The report says the average price is $3,611, and 97.5 percent of it is recouped when the house is sold. Other outdoor projects with high ROI include adding manufactured stone veneer to the exterior (94.9 percent), adding a wood deck (75.6 percent) and replacing siding (75.6 percent). Looking for a simpler way to make an impact? Sprucing up the landscape by planting flowers or bushes or even just clearing

the yard of debris will make a big statement. No matter what updates you end up making, it’s always a good idea to notify your insurance agent. “Certain upgrades may change the value of a house, so homeowners need to make sure they’re properly covered,” says Bob Buckel, vice president of product management, Erie Insurance. “There are a few things to look for. Ask your agent about guaranteed replacement cost policies that can cover the cost to rebuild a home in today’s dollars following a covered loss.” Some upgrades may also make you eligible for discounts, Buckel adds, especially if they make the home more secure. “For example, Erie Insurance offers certain safety discounts such as for installing smoke alarms or an automatic sprinkler system.” Now you have a checklist of DIY projects to focus on this spring. But before you start, take a moment to assess which ones are worth your time and money. —StatePoint Media

With Spring, come outdoor projects. Renovations can be done to increase your ROI if you are looking to sell or can make you eligible for discounts, such as installing an automatic sprinkler system.
