Carol Robinson and Annie Holt set out to clean their section of Highway 24.
Adopt-a-Highway Volunteers Help Keep Capitol Reef Country Beautiful WAYNE COUNTY - The Adopt-a-Highway worldwide campaign encourages volunteers to keep a section of highway free from litter. In Utah, the program is offered by the Utah Department of Transportation. To participate, the individual or organization must conduct a minimum of three cleanups per year on a two mile stretch of highway or state road. Some sections contain a sign to recognize the group’s effort. Organizations such as USU Extension/4-H have participated in the program for many years. Others, are just getting started. Recently K-Wayne Radio, Wayne County Taxpayers Association, Circle Cliff Ranch Alpacas, and Color Country Animal Welfare have all adopted sections of Highway 24. On Saturday May 7, 2016, nearly a dozen Entrada Institute volunteers cleaned up their highway section that runs through Torrey from Saddlery to just past SkyRidge Inn. Keep in mind that individuals don’t need to be part of a group to help keep Wayne County clean. Many individuals have informally adopted county roads and back-county byways. Or, simply carry a trash bag in their car or ATV for occasional cleanups. Remember that road-side litter cleanup can be dangerous. Be sure to stay off the roadway, wear an orange vest, and walk on the side facing traffic. Consider purchasing a grabber such as the PikStik Pro to reduce back strain. Thanks to all the individuals and groups who support road-side, town, and park cleanups to keep Wayne County beautiful. If you or organization would like to participate in the Adopt-a-Highway program, contact Deborah Pilling at dpilling@utah.gov. —Annette Lamb, The Entrada Institute

Capitol Reef National Park rangers chose to work with this Loa Elementary class since they were second graders, providing classroom presentations during the spring and fall of each school year. Students visited the park each year on their annual May field trip. School administration and teachers have been very supportive of this partnership, which has deeper understanding of park resources and goals, and a stronger sense of stewardship. —National Park Service

A Successful Year for the Wayne High School Anti-Bullying Team WAYNE COUNTY - The year is rolling to an end, but the Wayne High Anti-Bullying Team is pushing through, being kind, and working on helping everyone JUST BE NICE! We’ve had some great events this year, and we believe we’ve helped to inspire kids to BE KIND! Some of the best activities for the year included a concert at the beginning of the year sponsored by the Utah Anti-bullying Coalition and the Allstar Nation Tour, featuring Drew Ryniewicz (X-Factor), My Only Escape (The Voice), and Lauren Carnahan. These performers really rocked the house, and got everyone participating! Each performer shared his/her story of overcoming bullies, and told students how important speaking up and speaking out really is when dealing with problems kids face. The next really special happenings came about through donations from the Utah Anti-Bullying Coalition. The Wayne High AntiBullying Team got to select students who were behaving in “non-bully” or “super kind” ways toward other students on campus. The acts of kindness were reported through the “Paws for Kindness” program (high school) , registered, and names selected on high school, middle school, and elementary school campuses.
Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again. —Og Mandino

Tegan New, Tyler Chappell, Ashtynn Stringham, and Ethan Lee teach students about how to handle bullying. Some of the really great prizes included: yearbooks (high school), t-shirts (high school), gift cards, candy, pencils, puzzles, purple and gold book bags (high school), and gift certificates. Students had to be chosen by other students, and their acts of kindness had to be true acts of kindness. There was great participation in the drawings at all the schools. WE have GREAT and KIND students everywhere! The high school also participated in Suicide Prevention Week by “Chalking Out the Bad Stuff” and writing good messages on the sidewalks around the high school. The student government, the AntiBullying Team, teachers, and parents were invited to participate in QRI training presented by Sharon Lopez from
the Central Utah Counseling Center. Finally, the Wayne High anti-Bullying Team was able to present a few really great assemblies at the schools in our district. The team members, Ashtynn Stringham, Tegan New, Ethan Lee, and Tyler Chappell, with their advisor, Mrs. Stringham, created assemblies that would work in our small district. While deciding what the biggest issue with bullying in Wayne was, the Team came to the consensus that physical violence was less of a concern than namecalling, put downs, and making fun of people are. The Team focused the high school assembly on “empathy” and

Reply to Blackburn Letter
So... After reading Mr. Blackburn's recent letter in support of The Teasdale Gravel Pit Proposal in the Insider I thought perhaps I might attempt to write something of a rebuttal. My dilemma was where to start. Rarely have I read a human outpouring more misinformed, disingenuous and self serving. It serves only to inflame its readers' passions, no matter their individual positions, and I see nothing to be gained by endowing it with a false aura of legitimacy. Therefore, no rebuttal. We are all, of course, free to support or oppose The Pit based on its relative merits or its faults. But do our positions then permit us to lay aside our basic moral obligations? Gravel mining has been studied and restudied, monitored and re-monitored in Utah and elsewhere. Results have shown that, without question, this operation IS highly polluting and highly toxic. To site such and endeavor so close to human habitation is to seriously endanger the health, well being and, in some cases, the very lives of all residents living nearby or within range of its particulate fallout. Knowing this, do we have any sense of a moral obligation here? Or do we simply ignore such obligation for the sake of "making money" or "taking sides"? Is this the course any of our ancestors would have chosen for us? Richard Teasdale, Citizen of Wayne County
Looking for a Level Playing Field
Wayne County commissioners who are part of the ranching community do not hesitate to defend grazing on public lands. They feel no need to apologize for the strong stands they take against anything that they believe hurts the local ranching businesses. It should not come as a surprise, then, that citizens who live in gateway communities dependent on tourism, recreation, and retirement, do not hesitate to defend their economic interests and needs as vigorously as ranchers defend theirs. If the shoe were on the other foot and all three commission posts were held by residents of Torrey and if those commissioners decided to create a wilderness zone somewhere between Loa and Fremont, the residents of those communities who depend on agriculture would be understandably furious and would resist in ways similar to those of us who depend on tourism have resisted an industrial operation right in the middle of our communities. It is unfair and misleading of Jerry Blackburn to attribute the resistance of people in Torrey, Teasdale, and Grover to a gravel pit in the windiest place in the county to hypocrisy and a lack of “fellowship.” The County Commission’s failure to acknowledge the interests of stakeholders in Torrey, Teasdale, and Grover, their failure to give them adequate notice or timely access to the decision-making process, and their rush to push through an unpopular zoning change on our doorsteps without our consent has had a predictable response. People in a mixed economy as free as ours is in America are bound to have conflicting interests. Fortunately, we are blessed with a political system, laws, and traditions that allow us to resolve those differences but only if we are given a fair playing field. When the legitimate interests of three communities are ignored for the benefit of a single business in another community, of course there will be resistance. And it is not helpful, Mr. Blackburn, when you describe those who do not share your interests and opinions as disagreeing with you because they lack character, because they are selfish, because they are misinformed, because they are disingenuous, and because their ancestors are different from your own. Finally, it is unfortunate that someone wrote a letter that Jerry Blackburn has interpreted as threatening, though I believe his interpretation is mistaken. Regardless of whether his interpretation is accurate or simply a paranoid projection, it is reckless and wrong to then paint everyone else who disagrees with him with that brush. So called “move-ins” have also endured threats and insults. We would all do well to focus on the issues at hand and look towards a resolution rather than demonizing those who disagree with us. Chip Ward, Torrey
Goings on.... Adus Dorsey has been hired by Wayne County as the new Wayne County Economic Development Director. Dorsey has been at the post since the first part of April, and says he’s viewing the job as an educational opportunity as well as a chance to help people around the county. In particular he says he is learning about the strength of local agriculture and has an eye on resources—from USDA, the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development, as well as other sources—to help build upon the county’s agricultural strengths. "FFA [Future Farmers of America] is going gangbusters over here—there's a lot of enthusiasm among the kids for agricultural opportunities. And...I while I knew it was important, I was really surprised to find out just what a huge part of the economy farming is for Wayne County," said Dorsey. “When I got the Economic Development Director job, the first thing I did was go out and buy me a new pair of irrigator boots and I am ready to get 'em dirty!” said Dorsey. But, he said, “‘Economic development’ covers a wide swath.” Dorsey says he’ll be seeking to support local businesses in a variety of ways. “What I put in for in my first annual budget was business visits, business development, training, and scholarships for educational opportunities. And trying to seek out and support those ‘lone eagles’ who are creating small businesses. If we can create one permanent job in Wayne County it’s like creating 28 in Salt Lake City.” One of his first plans is redesigning the economic development portion of the Wayne County Web site, to serve as a central information resource. And, to continue learning all he can about county businesses and available resources. “I’ve still got the training wheels on this bike. But everybody’s bent over backwards at the county courthouse to help me,” he said.

Scout Troop continues funding push for Veterans Memorial
Bryce Valley’s Boy Scout Troop 679 continues to work on their fundraising goal for creation of a Veterans Memorial at the Tropic Heritage Center on Hwy 12. It will be a four community memorial for Henrieville, Cannonville, Tropic and Bryce Valley City, and include both past veterans as well as room to include future vets. According to Phoebe Wiseman, who is coordinating donations, the overall cost of the project will be $27,000. Currently the Boy Scout Troop is “selling” engraved bricks for the pathway throughout the park for $100 each, and so far 39 bricks have been sold. To order a brick you may stop in at the State Bank of Southern Utah Tropic Branch or mail in a donation to: Troop 679 Veterans’ Memorial Fund, c/o SBSU, P.O. Box B Tropic, UT 84776.
In Garfield County, no local offices to vote on in June primary
One candidate in Garfield County’s race for County Commissioner has dropped out, meaning there will be no primary for local offices in the county. Quinn Griffin of Escalante has dropped off of the republican ticket in the Garfield County Commission race, and so that leaves one candidate per party running for the open Garfield County Commission seat in the November election: Steve Cox, running as a democrat, and Jerry Taylor, running as a republican. Garfield County Clerk/Recorder Camille Moore says there will still be a primary for state and federal offices, however (so you still get to vote). There will be a primary for the republican party for the governor and lieutenant governor seats, and a democratic primary for the U.S. Senate seat. Moore says that this week their office plans to send letters to voters who are unaffiliated with a party to explain how to vote in the primary races, if they choose to do so. —Insider

Tourism to Glen Canyon and Rainbow Bridge in 2015 Created 2440 Jobs and $195 Million in Economic Benefits PAGE, AZ – A new National Park Service (NPS) report shows that nearly 2.5 million people visited Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and Rainbow Bridge National Monument in 2015. Those visitors spent over $171 million in communities near the park and supported 2440 jobs in the local area, with a cumulative benefit to the local economy of $195 million. “International tourism to Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and Rainbow Bridge National Monument has increased in recent years, bringing significant economic benefits to our gateway communities,” said Acting Superintendent Billy Shott. “Our gateway communities are key planning partners for managing resources to ensure that these special places remain world class destinations for generations to come.” A planning effort with the City of Page to improve the increasingly popular Horseshoe Bend Overlook is an example
of innovative community collaboration underway. The report confirms that national park tourism is a significant driver in the national economy, returning $10 for every $1 invested in the National Park Service. The report also illustrates ways that national parks help sustain local communities. The peer-reviewed visitor spending analysis was conducted by economists Catherine Cullinane Thomas of the U.S. Geological Survey and Lynne Koontz of the National Park Service. The report shows $16.9 billion of direct spending by 307.2 million park visitors in communities within 60 miles of a national park. This spending supported 295,000 jobs nationally; 252,000 of those jobs are found in gateway communities. The cumulative benefit to the U.S. economy was $32 billion. According to the 2015 report, most park visitor spending was for lodging (31.1%)
followed by food and beverages (20.2%), gas and oil (11.8%), admissions and fees (10.2%) and souvenirs and other expenses (9.8%). Report authors this year produced an interactive tool. Users can explore current year visitor spending, jobs, labor income, value added, and output effects by sector for national, state, and local economies. Users can also view year-by-year trend data. The interactive tool and report are available at the NPS Social Science Program webpage: go.nps.gov/vse. The report also includes information for visitor spending at individual parks and by state.

& Sports Teacher Appreciation Week At the conclusion of teacher appreciation week, I would like to personally thank all of the teachers in our district who work diligently to provide our students with such a quality of educational opportunities that will in turn allow our students to become productive members of society. Teachers have a very challenging occupation in meeting testing standards, designing curriculum, and providing feedback to students and parents. With that said, the emphasis the teacher places on the humanistic interaction between students makes them feel valued, intelligent, and instills a belief in our students that they can reach their dreams. Great teachers see a student’s potential when they enter their classroom, and take their students on an educational journey where a love for learning becomes evident in their conversations and actions. You can ask almost anyone, who was your favorite teacher? Most people respond with the teacher’s name, the grade or subject they taught, and an explanation for their selection. Most of the time, teachers are remember for how they made the student feel in their classroom and express an appreciation for the additional knowledge they received under the stewardship. Personally, I’m grateful for my 1st grade teacher Mrs. Long, who made feel intelligent and taught me how to read. I have had the privilege of being a student in many wonderful teacher’s classrooms over the years and as such received life skills that I use every day. Please take a few minutes to thank the teachers in our district who help our students achieve academic greatness by showing that they love and care about kids. —Ben Dalton, Superintendent, Garfield School District
21st Century Conservation Service Corps Set to Receive More Than $3 Million to Put Young People to Work on Public Lands WASHINGTON, D.C. – As the summer outdoor recreation season is about to kick off, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell, USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack and National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) Executive Director and CEO Jeff Trandahl have partnered to announce that the 21st Century Conservation Service Corps (21CSC) is set to receive $3.16 million in grants to support conservation employment and mentoring opportunities for youth at 60 projects on public lands nationwide this summer. The 21CSC is part of an ambitious youth initiative to inspire millions of young adults and veterans to play, learn, serve and work in the great outdoors. This year’s funding announcement includes projects in 20 states. Secretary Jewell announced funding to engage youth in service projects on Montana’s public lands yesterday at a summer recreation
outdoor season kickoff event at Devil’s Elbow Recreation Area near Helena, where she was joined by U.S. Senator Jon Tester, conservation corps members and business and community leaders. “Providing youth and veterans opportunities to engage in hands-on service to public lands and waters across the nation provides valuable workforce skills while fostering life-long connections to nature,” said Secretary Jewell. “The work these volunteers will help accomplish – to repair trails, remove invasive species, rehabilitate historic structures and more – not only helps take care of our important natural and cultural resources, but enriches the lives of young people and the communities they serve.” Through the 21CSC, thousands of young adults and veterans will have the opportunity to work on projects across America’s public lands, including maintaining
campgrounds, preserving historic sites, monitoring water quality, building trails and more. From Denali to the Everglades, youth conservation corps members are gaining work experience, helping improve the visitor experience and mobilizing entire communities in the stewardship of our parks, refuges, waters and heritage. The 21CSC is built through strong public-private partnerships with companies like REI, American Express, Thule, Backwoods, American Eagle Outfitters, CamelBak, The North Face, Coca-Cola, The Campion Foundation and Youth Outdoor Legacy Fund. “Connecting the passion and skills of our young people and veterans to our nation’s natural resources fosters a new generation of stewards to carry on our country’s proud conservation legacy,” said Secretary Vilsack. “Over the past two years, USDA has supported over 20,000 youth and veteran work opportunities on Forest Service land through the 21st Century Conservation Service Corps. This ongoing collaboration supports President Obama's goal of reconnecting Americans to the great outdoors and it also furthers, in a cost-effective way, crucial projects that improve forest health, watershed restoration and recreational opportunities.” This summer’s 60 projects nationwide, including those in Montana, are being funded through the America’s Great Outdoors: Developing the Next Generation of Conservationists, a competitive grant matching program launched in December 2011 in conjunction with NFWF. Of the more than $3 million in funding, more than $2 million is from federal sources, and more than $1 million is a result of private fundraising efforts. “Long-term conservation
efforts can only be successful if new generations share our commitment to sustain, restore and enhance our nation’s wildlife and habitats,” said Jeff Trandahl, executive director and CEO of NFWF. “Young people growing up today often don’t get the chance to connect with nature, especially when they live in urban areas. Programs such as the 21st Century Conservation Service Corps can bridge that divide and get these young people outside, where they can develop a deep appreciation of the natural world.” Agencies participating in the NFWF Next Generation program include Interior’s Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S Geological Survey, Bureau of Indian Affairs, National Park Service and the Department of Agriculture’s U.S. Forest Service. This year’s projects support diverse work experiences and locations, maintaining and improving resources ranging from a national park in South
Dakota to a national forest in Alaska, to New York City beaches damaged by Hurricane Sandy, to a California wildlife refuge where volunteers will conduct bird surveys and sample water quality. Urban projects include building rain gardens at Jean Lafitte National Historic Park and Preserve and local schools in New Orleans and designing and implementing archeology curriculum in partnership with the National Park Service and the nonprofit Groundwork Lawrence in Massachusetts. These grants are the latest in the Obama Administration’s efforts to advance the 21CSC, working toward the goal of providing employment opportunities to 100,000 young adults and returning veterans, and engaging more than one million volunteers on public lands by 2017. This work is part an overall strategy by the Obama Administration to connect young people who reflect the rich diversity of the country to the outdoors. Other efforts include Interior’s leadership of First
Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! Outside initiative to get millions of young people outside. In March 2015, Secretary Jewell announced this partnership with the American Express Foundation and kicked-off the first cities across the country to be a part of this movement. Twentysix cities were announced in 2015, and the remaining cities will be announced throughout 2016. For more information about the initiative, visit: http://www.doi.gov/youth. In addition, the “Every Kid in A Park” program to provide all fourth grade students and their families with free admission to national parks and other public lands and waters for a full year is in full swing. Current third graders can start receiving their Every Kid in a Park pass in September. These efforts complement the National Park Service’s Find Your Park campaign, celebrating this year’s centennial of the National Park System. —Conservation Service Corps

How Can Taxes be Saved Upon Death? by Jeffery J. mCkeNNa
"Cost basis" is the term used to describe the original cost of an asset. It is used to determine the taxable gain on the sale of that asset. For instance, if you purchased a parcel of vacant real estate in 1980 for $50,000, your cost basis in the property is $50,000. If you sell the unimproved parcel of land for $150,000 (its fair market value), your taxable gain would be $100,000; the sale price less the cost basis ($150,000 - $50,000 = $100,000). You would therefore be subject to capital gain tax on $100,000. In situations where property is used for business purposes, the cost basis must be reduced by the depreciation taken against the property during the period of business use. When you give an asset away during life, the recipient of the gift assumes your original cost basis. For example, if a father gave his son the real estate we discussed above, the son's cost basis would also be $50,000. If the son likewise sold the property for $150,000, he, too,
would have a taxable gain of $100,000. However, when you leave an asset to someone upon your death, the recipient receives what is referred to as a step-up in basis. The step-up in basis is the fair market value of the asset on the date of the decedent's death (or on the date 6 months after death if the alternative valuation date is used). Using the previous example, if the father died and left the property to his son upon his death, the son would receive a step-up in basis in the property, which would be the $150,000 fair market value. If the son subsequently sold the property he inherited from his father for its fair market value of $150,000, the son would have no taxable gain. Although it makes sense at times to give away assets during life, one must consider the possible income tax ramifications to the recipient of the gift on the subsequent sale of that asset. In many cases it is preferable to leave an asset upon your death rather than to give it away dur-

ing life to take advantage of the step-up in basis rule. Many people give away assets to children during their life to avoid the delays and expenses of probate upon their death. In doing so, they lose advantage of the step-up in basis rule. A better alternative may be to create and fully fund a Living Trust during the parents' lifetime and leave the assets to children upon their death. The assets in the Living Trust would pass to the children free of probate, and they will receive a full step-up in basis. WITH A SATELLITE OFFICE NOW IN PANGUITCH. Jeffery J.

A fellow was walking along a country road and came upon a farmer working in his field. The man called out to the farmer and asked how long it would take him to get to the next town. The farmer didn't answer. So, after waiting a bit, the fellow started walking again. After the man had gone about 100 yards, the farmer yelled to him and said, "About 20 minutes." Confused, the man turned back toward the farmer and inquired, "Why didn't you tell me that when I asked you?" "Well," said the farmer, "I didn't know how fast you could walk."

My daughter's 5th-grade class had been studying astronomy. One morning at breakfast she announced, "On Friday we're having a quiz on the moon." That's when her little brother piped up, saying, "Are you gonna let her go, Mom?"

Rural Juror
As a potential juror in an assault-and-battery case, I was sitting in a courtroom, answering questions from both sides. The prosecutor asked such questions as: Had I ever been mugged? Did I know the victim or the defendant? The defense attorney took a different approach, however. "I see you are a teacher," she said. "What do you teach?" "English and theater," I responded. "Then I guess I better watch my grammar," the defense attorney quipped. "No" I shot back. "You better watch your acting." When the laughter in the courtroom died down, I was excused from the case.

I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone I know the entire day. What a waste.

More Deer Hunting Permits, New Elk Hunting Permits
SALT LAKE CITY - Depending on which unit you applied for, you might have a better chance at drawing a permit to hunt buck deer in Utah this fall. And, if you obtain written permission to hunt on private property, a new cow elk hunting experience is waiting for you this year. Approving more permits and the new hunt were among several actions members of the Utah Wildlife Board took at their meeting on April 28. The board is comprised of seven citizens appointed by Gov. Gary R. Herbert. All of the big game hunting rules the board approved will available in the 2016 Utah Big Game Field Regulations Guidebook. The free guidebook should be available at www.wildlife.utah.gov/guidebooks by May 16. 90,675 buck deer hunting permits The total number of deer in Utah has increased for the fourth straight year. And the number of bucks, compared to the number of does, is the best it’s been in decades. For those reasons, Division of Wildlife Resources biologists recommended a total of 90,950 general buck deer hunting permits for this fall’s hunts. In 2015, a total of 86,550 permits were offered. After hearing recommendations from the biologists and input from representatives from Utah’s five public Regional Advisory Councils, the board settled on a final total of 90,675 general buck deer permits. Starting the week of May 1, you can see if the unit you applied for has more permits by visiting the DWR’s Hunt Maps web page at www.wildlife.utah.gov/maps. Once you arrive at the page, click on the ‘Buck deer’ choice under the ‘Hunt tables’ heading. Justin Shannon, big game coordinator for the DWR, says 2016 is an exciting time to be a deer hunter in Utah. “The total number of deer in the state is the highest it’s been since the 1980s,” he says. “And a good percentage of those deer are bucks. The average buck-
to-doe ratio across Utah—on general season units that are made up mostly of public land—is 23 bucks per 100 does.” A multitude of reasons, including mild winters and precipitation received at just the right time, intense work to make habitat better for mule deer, and efforts to reduce the number of deer hit and killed by vehicles are among the factors that are helping mule deer thrive in Utah. Based on surveys conducted after last fall’s hunts, DWR biologists estimate the state’s deer population at more than 384,000 animals. Private lands only elk permits Elk populations are also thriving in Utah, with an estimated 79,230 elk in the state. One challenge hunters and landowners in certain areas face, though, are elk moving from public land to private land when the hunts start. “When elk are not evenly distributed on a unit,” Shannon says, “it can frustrate both hunters and private landowners. The elk leave the public land, and not many hunters have access to them. We need to ‘retrain’ elk to stay on public land by limiting the refuge areas they have on private property. Providing private landowners with additional tools, to help control elk on their property, is the key to making that happen.” The state’s recently approved statewide elk plan allows for some “out of the box” ideas regarding cow elk hunting in Utah. Offering 12,010 private lands only permits, on 15 units in 2016, is the idea DWR biologists brought to the board. Board members liked the idea and approved it. The new private lands only permits are valid only on private property. July 21 is the first day you can buy one. The Wasatch unit in north-central Utah is one of the 15 units that will have private lands only permits this year. “On the Wasatch unit,” Shannon says, “we want to increase harvest on private lands and decrease hunting pressure on public lands. Over time, the increased hunting pressure on private land should push the elk to public land, giving hunters more access to them in the future.”
Biologists are relying on draw permits and the new private lands only permits to manage elk on the unit. Antlerless elk control permits are no longer available for the Wasatch unit. Before buying a private lands only permit, please remember one critical thing: before hunting on private property, you must have written permission from the person who owns the land. “Before you buy one of these permits,” says Judi Tutorow, wildlife licensing coordinator for the DWR, “obtain written permission to hunt on the private property you want to hunt. You don’t want to end up with a permit you can’t use.” Cow moose permits For the first time since 2011, hunters will be hunting cow moose in Utah. A total of 20 cow moose hunting permits will be available for the East Canyon and Ogden units in northern Utah. “Moose are doing really well on both units,” Shannon says. You can apply for one of the cow moose permits in the antlerless big game drawing. Applications for the drawing
will be accepted starting May 26. The following are the total number of permits the board approved for Utah’s 2016 big game hunts: • General buck deer: 90,675 • Premium limited entry deer: 184 • Management buck deer: 55 • Limited entry deer: 1,166 • Doe deer 755 • General any bull elk: 15,000 • Youth any bull elk: 500 • General spike bull elk: 15,000 • Limited entry bull elk: 2,752 • Cow elk, public draw: 13,680 • Cow elk, private lands only: 12,010 • Buck pronghorn: 771 • Doe pronghorn: 630 • Bull moose: 68 • Cow moose: 20 • Bison: 96 • Desert bighorn sheep: 42 • Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep: 38 • Mountain goat: 102 —Utah Division of Wildlife Resources

OBITUARIES
By Way of Boulder by peg smith, pegenias@gmail.com
We’re all trying to get Spring into action despite the weird weather. The Town’s Arbor Day tree planting celebration was delayed last month, but will now occur on Thursday, May 12, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Volunteers will be planting mostly fruit trees, along with other trees and shrubs throughout the tract park. Please come, and bring your work gloves and shovels. Magnolia’s lunch is, unfortunately, off the table, as Haylee, Garin, and Magnolia will be otherwise occupied with their new or soon-to-be delivered family addition. Community Market, at the corner of the Burr Trail and Hwy 12, will open Saturday, May 14 and continue every Saturday until October. Along with live music, they are planning a diversity of vendors offering prepared food, fresh garden veggies, baked goods, herbal remedies, essential oils, Boulder Seed Collective, and more. Hours are 9 a.m. to 1 a.m. On May 21, a plant sale of veggie starts and perennials will be the highlight. Look for upcoming announcements as the season progresses. Demonstrations of various interests will be occurring all season. It was a fairly quiet Town Council meeting last Thursday: • The Council set the date for its public hearing on amending the Zoning Ordinance to allow Accessory Dwelling Units: its next meeting, June 2, at 6:30 p.m. • A vacancy on the Planning Commission needs to be filled. Caroline Gaudy submitted her resignation last month, another casualty of Boulder’s housing dominoes. Caroline has been an active, energetic, and engaged presence on the Planning Commission for the past four plus years. Her participation will be sorely missed. Thank you, Caroline, for your years of volunteer service to Boulder. Good luck in SLC.
• Boulder Recycles! is reconsidering a lease arrangement with the Town. Collection of materials for recycling is mostly at a standstill. Metal prices are a fraction of last year’s; cardboard can be baled, but has to be stored and there’s no facility locally for storage; glass and plastics can’t be economically gathered and transported. One possible bright spot may be an upcoming area in the tract park for composting/shredding yard waste and branches. President Tina Karlsson, and the rest of the group will continue to investigate county-wide options and for-profit resources to see if there’s a way to meet residents’ as well as tourists’ expectations for recycling. It seems too that Boulder residents themselves will need to think about how they perceive and value recycling as a practice for handling the waste we all generate. • 4th of July activities have been divvied up. Boulder Town will celebrate the holiday on Saturday, July 2, hosting the afternoon Parade. This year, Boulder Community Alliance will host Children’s Activities preceding the Parade, as well as the evening program, a dinner, and nighttime dance. Boulder Mountain Lodge and Hell’s Backbone Grill will celebrate 4th of July on Monday, July 4, with their Ice Cream Social and the Talent Show following. Finally, if you’ve never tried quilt-tying before, here’s your chance. The Boulder LDS Relief Society is inviting all women in the community to join them. They’ll be showing how to set up the frames, put on a quilt, and then tying. Barbara Gardner, Carrie Ryan, and Jill Trombley joined presidency officers Chyleen Mackey, Laura Demay, and Elaine Roundy at the first session on May 3. Come and watch or join in, for as much or as little as you wish for the final two Tuesdays, May 17 and May 24, starting at 1 p.m., going until 3 pm.

Drowning Victim Recovered Near Lone Rock
PAGE, AZ - A multi-agency search for 51 year-old Allen Robert Delay of Lewistown, Montana concluded on May 6 when his body was located near Lone Rock in the Kane County portion of Wahweap Bay in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Utah Department of Public Safety Dive team located his body at 4:35 p.m. MST using side-scan sonar. The Glen Canyon National Recreation Area Underwater Recovery Unit successfully retrieved his body at 6:51 p.m. MST using a submerged Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) from a depth of 74 feet. The body was turned over to Kane County Sheriff’s Office Medical Investigator, and was transported to the Utah State Medical Examiner’s Office in Salt Lake City, Utah. On May 5, 2016, Delay was camping with his wife on Lone Rock Beach and took an inflatable kayak out for a paddle. As winds increased he ended up overboard. Delay was not wearing a life jacket. Pleas for help were heard by other campers and National Park Service staff from Lone Rock Beach. At 1:49 p.m. MST.

Practical Money Matters
Getting Your Finances Ready for Adoption by NathaNiel silliN
The decision to start a family is a joyful event. However, parents considering adoption should consider advance planning for a range of financial issues unique to the process and the child they hope to bring into their home. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the costs of adopting (https://www.childwelfare. gov) may be a few hundred dollars or can easily exceed $40,000 based on the form of adoption you choose. So how do you get your finances ready for adoption? By doing your homework and making sure the price and processing work of adoption – all adoption resources, rules and requirements differ locally – won’t eclipse other essential financial goals like retirement, saving for your future child’s education and of course, the higher daily living expenses common to all new families. Start with these tips: Evaluate your own finances first. It’s generally a good idea to work with qualified financial or tax experts to evaluate whether you can manage adoption costs from savings or grants you don’t have to pay back. Starting a family is a major overall financial commitment no matter what path you take to build yours.
Know the tax benefits of adoption. The federal government offers tax breaks for adoption, but you need to study and follow the rules. According to the IRS, tax benefits for adoption include both a tax credit for qualified adoption expenses paid to adopt an eligible child and an exclusion from income for employerprovided adoption assistance. The credit is nonrefundable, meaning that it is limited to one’s tax liability for the year. Any credit in excess of tax liability may be carried for up to five years. Adoptions of special needs children may qualify for special treatment. Visit IRS.gov for more details. Check your workplace benefits. A 2013 Aon Hewitt study said only 12 percent of U.S. employers offered a financial adoption benefit in 1990 rising to 52 percent. Check with your employer to see whether they offer adoption benefits, and factor those benefits into your overall financial plan. Know your legal costs. Adoption is a legal process, and depending on the kind of adoption process you pursue, it is wise to work with an attorney to make sure your application is in order and your rights are being protected. Think about insurance.
Life and health insurance options need to be reviewed for cost and thoroughness of coverage before you begin the adoption process. Life insurance may come up as part of the estate-planning process, but health insurance in particular requires special consideration in case the child you plan to adopt has medical or developmental needs. Evaluate available adoption grants. Various community groups, religious organizations and nonprofit organizations and foundations may be a resource of grant funding for the adoption process. Work with trusted advisors to find out if these resources are reliable and could help you afford your adoption. Network and learn. Many communities and organizations sponsor support and planning groups for parents of adopted kids and those planning to adopt. Depending on the adoption avenue you’re considering, make it a point to get to know parents who have already gone through the process to understand all sides of what their lives as adoptive parents are like – make your learning process about more than the money. Bottom line: Adoption is one of life’s most rewarding events. The amount of financial planning you can do to support your adoption process will help give your new family the best possible start..
