Escalante City Council May 21
City Approves Loan from Sewer Fund to General Fund, New Council Member Sworn In
ESCALANTE - Escalante City’s May 21, 2019 council meeting opened with a public hearing regarding Resolution 2019-02 regarding a proposed loan for $70,000 from the sewer fund to the general fund to pay legal fees incurred by a former employee. City recorder Stephanie Steed explained that the sewer fund has upwards of $922,000, and that the city’s code allows for loans from one fund to another fund. The loan is proposed for 10 years at 3% interest annually and may be paid off early without penalty. Following this hearing, as well as an opening of the city budget to allow for the changes in revenue and expense, the council approved a motion to adopt Resolution 2019-02 to make the loan as of May 21, 2019. During public comment, a city resident asked about the Escalante City boundaries and the potential for annexation to better manage the city’s “sphere of influence.” He expressed concern that a “conglomerate” has purchased the Shooting Star RV Park, and is expanding that business markedly. He expressed concern about preserving the city’s heritage and the feel of the town, and that annexation can help the city with these goals. Council Member Stowe said there was no P&Z meeting this past week, and therefore no P&Z updates. The council heard from two individuals who applied Escalante Council Cont'd on page 2

Chris Wehrli has joined the Dixie National Forest staff as District Ranger for the Powell Ranger District, based out of Panguitch. PANGUITCH - The Powell District of the Dixie National Forest has a new District Ranger. Transferring from the U.S. Forest Service Rocky Mountain Regional Office in Lakewood, Colorado, Powell District Ranger, Chris Wehrli, brings two decades of Forest Service experience to his new post and seems more than comfortable with the
management challenges the Powell District has to offer. Wehrli arrived at the job on President’s Day weekend in February, but as of late April, was still biding most of his time on the job from inside the office, unable to get out on the ground much due to the spring rains and mud. “But,” Wehrli assured, “this district ranger will get out on the

WAYNE COUNTY Warning! There is nothing uplifting about the realities of a Big One in a major population area, so read on at your own risk. Nevertheless, knowledge of what you can expect in various dire circumstances does help you to be prepared and withstand the shock of a disastrous event. If I didn’t believe that, I wouldn’t be writing all these episodes. In any case it is time to discuss the kind of damage a Big One causes in cities like Salt Lake City, where the major fault runs through the heart of the city. Geological evidence indicates a pattern of periodic large quakes along the Wasatch fault and other Utah faults of a magnitude between 6.5 and 7.5; that’s what is meant by a Big One; that is what is being anticipated, and that is what the State is trying to prepare us for. Most of the population of Utah is located within the Intermountain Seismic Belt where this magnitude of quake can occur. When
such quakes occur close to heavily populated areas the damage can be catastrophic. (It appears from the maps that Wayne County is situated just to the east of this seismic belt; the western edge of the Colorado Plateau apparently is the dividing line.) The presentation at the last LEPC meeting focused mainly on what is likely to happen in SLC if the next Big One occurs on that segment of the Wasatch fault. As mentioned last episode the different soil types affect how much shaking would be experienced and of what type. In a Big One, that shaking might go on for up to 30 seconds. In SLC going east from I-15, the soils become stiffer and more shallow as one gets up into the foothills, closer to bedrock. These sandy and gravelly soils over bedrock amplify the high-frequency waves—more vertical waves—the ones that cause Emergency Planning Cont'd on page 9

Council member Barnes indicated that council members will be having a meeting to discuss some points regarding sale of the property—answers for prospective buyers—and a minimum bid. In other reports, council member Dan’l Lindsay said he’d opened the Escalante Facebook page to learn that, relative to a recent conversation with UDOT about the possibility of changing Main Street lane striping, “Some people figured changing Main Street was a done deal.” Council member Lindsay said, “This is not the case. At this point in time I have no intention of changing anything.” He said his first priority is to evaluate the intersection at Highway 12 and the clinic/ hardware store turn off, noting that there is a big safety concern there, and that a turn lane is needed. “After that’s all said and done, we will consider the lane change idea,” said Lindsay. The council finished their meeting by going into a closed session to discuss real estate. —Insider

It is nice to see people who want to serve on the council.” The council deliberated regarding their decision and approved a motion to appoint Lenza Wilson to fill Greg Allen’s vacated seat.

PANGUITCH - May is mental health awareness month. What is mental health? There are different ways of defining mental health. Some definitions emphasize positive psychological well-being; others see it as the absence of mental health problems. Mental disorders are common in the United States, with one in five adults having a mental disorder in any one year. A national survey of Americans found that 18.5 percent health disorders often start in adolescence or early adulthood. A national survey reported that half of all mental disorders begin by age 14 and ¾ by 24. There is stigma associated with mental health problems. Stigma involves negative attitudes and negative behavior. Stigma can lead

PANGUITCH – Often in government meetings, we hear unfamiliar acronyms tossed about in discussion. “CIB” is one of those commonly used in rural Southern Utah. The Permanent Community Impact Fund Board (PCIFB, or as it is more commonly referred to, CIB) was created to distribute funds obtained from federal land and mineral resource development royalties, including fossil fuels, into counties that have been impacted by a reduced property tax base due to excessive federal land acreage.

To reduce that burden, a portion of the federal mineral lease fees are returned to the CIB to distribute to impacted communities. The CIB has three funding cycles each year, ending in June, October and February. Thirty-two and a half percent of the royalties fund CIB projects in Utah’s sparsely populated areas. As indicated in the graph below, during fiscal year 2018, $57.2M was awarded to 61 projects across the state, with transportation projects being the top category at $21.8M followed by

The Sleeping Rainbow School of Music Holds Annual Violin Recital
courtesy cHip Ward
Students from the Sleeping Rainbow School of Music perform for their annual violin recital, accompanied by Becky Pace, on May 20th at the Wayne County Civic Center. Lynsey Shelar teaches music to students ranging in age from 2 to 85. WAYNE COUNTY The Sleeping Rainbow School of Music held its annual violin recital at the Wayne County Civic Center on the evening of May 20th. Featured students were Samuel White, Quinn Bowling, Alora Torrey, Audrey White, Kaydence Brown, Ethan White, Saray White, Brigette Winters, Shayla Barlow, Adam Winters, Ammon Peterson, Kira Peterson, T.J. Peterson, and BreAnna Winters. Their teacher, Lynsey Shelar introduced them and Becky Pace accompanied on piano. Students of the Sleeping Rainbow School of Music range in age from 6 to 62 but Lynsey says she has taught students as young as 2 and as old as 85. She herself started lessons when she was 4. She trained in the Suzuki method and has taken Teacher Training courses at Intermountain
Suzuki String Institute in Salt Lake City. Lynsey’s enthusiasm for her profession is obvious. “Throughout my life music has been a source of joy and I am pleased I can help others to find that reward. But its not just for fun. When you learn to play a musical instrument you not only have a new source of joy that can last a lifetime, you improve your brain. This is especially true for kids and seniors. Whether you are growing a brain or trying to hang on to the one you’ve got, playing music is beneficial.” Numerous scientific studies conclude that children who learn to play an instrument improve their fine motor skills needed to finger an instrument, listening skills, and the processing skills to do multisensory tasks. That translates into higher reading and math scores. Musical training can
enhance those executive function skills like decision making and problem solving. And, of course, learning to play takes discipline. Some studies show you can add to a child’s IQ by teaching him or her to play music. Seniors who learn to play improve memory and many other cognitive skills. If you are interested in learning to play the violin, contact Lynsey Shelar at 435531-3599 or lynseymshelar@ gmail.com. —Chip Ward

Caitlin Gerrity, Utah Library Association's 2019 Librarian of the Year and Assistant Professor of Library Media and the Director of the Library Media Program at Southern Utah University. CEDAR CITY - Pennsylvania born Caitlin Gerrity is thrilled to receive the 2019 Librarian of the Year award from the Utah Library Association (ULA). Gerrity is an Assistant Professor of Library Media and the Director of the Library Media Program at Southern Utah University. Each year, the ULA distributes six different awards. Gerrity’s grant writing skills, creativity in designing instructional modules for Library Aide Basics, and organization of summer boot camps for school librarians are a few of the many reasons why she has earned this accolade. “I am honored and humbled to have my work recognized,” Gerrity said. “I am empowered in my work at SUU and in growing alongside the most collaborative, innovative, and change-making folks in the state.” Gerrity earned her Bachelor’s in English and Communication from Temple University, and her Master’s in Library Science and her K-12 teaching endorsement from Drexel University. Originally, she didn’t consider librarianship as a career. It was after working her first post-graduate job as Research Assistant for the Philadelphia Housing Authority that convinced her otherwise. “I had the opportunity
to organize a small library, comprised of donations, in a new community center at one of the city’s affordable housing complexes,” Gerrity said. “This project was really motivating to me, and so I began to research librarianship as a career. It has turned out to be the perfect melding of my skills and inclinations towards teaching, research, and public service.” Gerrity originally came to work at SUU in 2015 as an Instruction Librarian. During her time at SUU, she has been nothing short of excellent. Gerrity has written many successful grants in collaboration with Associate Dean of the Library Matt Nickerson, which have resulted in several exciting projects. More recently the SUU Library received a grant to create an open online training for school library aides in Utah. For the past two years, Gerrity has also organized and coordinated school librarians across Utah to visit campus for two days of professional learning. SUU has provided many career growth opportunities for Gerrity. This fall 2019 semester, she will serve as an Associate Director for the Center for Teaching and Learning (CETL) on campus. She also recently appeared in a podcast with CETL. “She's been a totally
awesome colleague here at SUU,” said Anne Diekema, department chair and assistant professor of Library Media. “The award couldn't have gone to a better librarian.” Gerrity is passionate about her career and would love to share more information about librarianship with curious students. “Come talk to me!” she said. “I’ll help dispel any of those misconceptions about old curmudgeonly librarians who shush people. This is a dynamic, people-centered career, and I would love to answer any questions and chat about graduate school opportunities.” The Gerald R. Sherratt Library has many librarians and staff willing to help students with any of their needs. For more information about the library and its services, visit the website. The Utah Library Association has been in service for more than 100 years. Their mission “is to serve the professional development and educational needs of its members and to provide leadership and direction in developing and improving library and information services in the state.” —Southern Utah University

How Do I Discuss Estate Planning with My Family and Loved Ones? by Jeffery J. Mckenna Throughout my twenty years as an estate planning attorney, I have experienced the effects of the above question. Too often, the problem has been that estate planning has not been discussed. I always advise my clients to let their family members know that they have done estate planning and where the documents are located. I encourage more discussion; but, at a minimum, family members must know that planning has been done. Estate planning is a very personal and private matter. As a result, many children and grandchildren are not aware of estate issues or the personal wishes of their parents and grandparents until it is too late to plan. Parents and grandparents are often reluctant to discuss such issues. Perhaps the best way to start the discussion with a parent is to ask questions such as, "Have you done any estate planning?" or "Are there any estate decisions that I need to be aware of?" Another alternative would be to ask your parents for advice on your own estate plan. This may lead to a discussion of their own plans. The questions do not have to initially focus on financial issues or on what individual beneficia-
ries will receive. Instead, the questions should focus on understanding the overall wishes of a parent and how you can help. A parent may not want to discuss issues relating to death; however, by waiting, the discussion may never occur. They could die without you knowing whether they have estate planning documents, where they are located, wishes pertaining to their illness, and final services. You should also remember that a discussion of your parents’ estate planning needs may affect your own estate planning, and you may need to consider revising your own strategies. Conversely, if you are the parents, you may be uncomfortable talking about your own death. Or you may feel that your children would be uncomfortable speaking of your death. But by taking the time now to plan your estate, and to make your wishes known to your loved ones, you may experience a sense of security. You will have peace of mind knowing you'll be able to financially provide for your loved ones after you're gone, and you can rest at ease that you were able to discuss your wishes with those who may need to know, but are reluctant to ask.
Now with a Panguitch Office at 46 North Main Street to serve clients in and around Garfield County. Jeffery J. McKenna is a local attorney whose practice has been focused on Estate Planning for over 20 years. He is licensed and serves clients in Utah, Arizona and Nevada. He is a shareholder at the law firm of Barney, McKenna and Olmstead.

10 Questions
Our local paper runs a popular column called "10 Questions" that spotlights people who live in our community. In addition to the usual inquiries about occupation and age, people are asked the questions that give a snapshot look of their personalities. Recently one woman was asked, "What's the 'strangest' thing you ever bought?" She answered, "Dog toothpaste." Next question, "What is the 'most common' thing people say to you?" Her answer: "Where did you get such white teeth?"

filiate will bring much-needed support to those who live in rural and isolated areas,” said McKerracher. “People with mental health conditions will now have a safe connection to others who share similar feelings and experiences.” Receiving support from others who also live with mental health conditions significantly improves an individual’s ability to manage symptoms, feel understood and more hopeful, and resource him/herself. As a result, occurrences of mental health crises can be diminished. “It is really important to have a place where you can go to connect with others about mental health challenges and feel supported,” said Leatham. “Social connections are an essential part of recovery.” A support group member from Northern Utah shared that NAMI Connection has
Love and Marination
One evening, impressed by a meat entree his wife had prepared, the husband asked, "What did you marinate this in?" The wife dropped her fork and went into a long explanation about how much she loved him and how life wouldn't be the same without him. She must have seen the confused look on her husbands face, because she inquired, "What did you ask me?" When he told her what he'd asked, the wife laughed and said, "I thought you asked me if I would marry you again!" Later, as she was cleaning up the kitchen, the husband called out, "Hey, hon, WOULD you marry me again?" Without hesitation she replied, "Vinegar and barbecue sauce."
redirected him from self-harm on several occasions. “I really don't know what I'd do without the support of others in the group,” he said. “When I get to the point where I feel like I can't cope anymore, they come to the rescue in so many ways. I stop thinking that I'm the only one like this, and I find new energy to keep going on.” NAMI Connection groups are: • free and confidential • held for 90 minutes • designed to connect, encourage, and support participants using a structured support group model • led by trained facilitators living in recovery themselves For more information, call or text: Jon (760) 933-8867 Laura (435) 260-0276 Boulder-Escalante Program Facilitators —National Alliance on Mental Illness Connection
Drug Sniffing Dog
As I waited for my luggage at an international airport, I noticed a government agent with a dog sniffing for illegal drugs among the crowd of arriving passengers. A woman next to me also saw the animal at work and noted that it was of mixed breed with long, shaggy fur. "I thought those police dogs were supposed to be German shepherds," she said. Overhearing her comment, the agent replied, "He is, but he's working undercover."

Speed Trap
The fist knocking on the door belonged to a cop. Bracing for the worst, my husband, who was working on a job site, opened up. "Is that yours?" asked the officer, pointing to a company van that was jutting out into the narrow street. "Uhh, yes, it is," said my husband. "Would you mind moving it?" asked the officer. "We've set up a speed trap and the van's causing everyone to slow down."
Toll Booth
Traveling on a state highway, my husband and I saw a toll-booth entrance being ripped up, concrete roadway and all. We asked an attendant if some new convenience was being installed for the workers. "No way, she replied. "They lost a quarter."

FYI PanguItch
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Last week’s big news was the High School graduation, but you probably know that, because I think the whole town was there. Thirty-two students graduated. Twelve were on the High Honor Roll, and five were on the Honor Roll. Six were Sterling Scholars, and Athina Kremidas also received her Associate's Degree. The Class helped bring home seven state Championships: Drama, Drill Team, Debate, Girls Cross Country, Volleyball, Basketball and Track. This class, like so many that we have had, are the future of our country and will make a big difference in our world. Also recognized was long time teacher Julie Chidester, who is retiring after 30 years of teaching. She received a standing ovation. I left out a happening from last week. The Panguitch Stake got the calling to go to the Temple in Cedar City and pull out the tulip bulbs, so spring planting could take place. What a great turnout! There were between 100 and 150, and many families were there with their kids taking part. They were throwing out the bulbs, and anyone who wanted to take them home could. We will tell you next April if they will bloom here in Panguitch. We took home some of them. On Thursday evening, the Panguitch American Legion put out the flags on the Veterans graves. It was really windy and cold, but it is an honor to serve the veterans who served their country with this small token of respect. Thanks to Dean, Franko and Pat for toughing it out. I finally have figured out the one thing that all of this wind is good for; the flags really look good when it is blowing. Saturday was the giant yard sale, and there were a lot of tables out there filled with great bargains. Many thanks to Carlota Johnson, who owns the Old Fire House, for her great donation to the Pan-
guitch American Legion. She had a table set up for sale of items, and the proceeds went to the American Legion. Her Husband, Greg, is a Veteran. I did learn something while I was walking around. Becky Yard says that she and her husband Randy will be opening up another Cowboy Collectable store on Main Street. Good to have them back in town. The Gray Family will also have another store opening soon. In the old Shed store, they will have a consignment store, opening soon. It is great to have all of the stores on Main St. but one, open and doing a great business. It is good to see all the cars, boats and trailers on the move south for vacations. If only the weather would cooperate. It looks like winter just won’t give up. Coming up next is the Quilt Walk Festival, and it will be starting on Wednesday June 5 with the Chocolate Fest. This Festival has really grown over the 22 years. This year’s festival has so far 335 quilters signed up for classes. Twenty-two years ago the State had formed Main Street organizations in small towns around the State. They asked what was the slowest time in the summer, and it was the second week in June. Out of that came the Quilt Walk Festival. Elaine Baldwin and Pat wrote the story and the play, and Claudia Crump started the Quilt classes at the high school. The first year, the classes had all of 16 sign ups. Claudia and Pat retired 6 years ago and Jerrylou Houston has taken over the classes and they just keep growing. Elaine is still holding strong with the play. Each year there are new members, and it is fun watching Elaine weave their parts into the cast before the start of opening night. This year, for the first time, it won’t be at the Social Hall. It will be at the Panguitch Stake Center. For the last many years,

the Chocolate Fest has been a fun activity and a fund activity. Claudia Crump came home from vacation with the idea. Presently Pat chairs the activity. Since she retired from the Quilt Walk Committee, she keeps busy with both the Chocolate Fest and the Pioneer Home Tours. The Quilt Walk Committee supports both activities with the earnings going to the “Sub for Santa” fund. The Chocolate Fest is a success event because most of the donations of chocolate come from the generous folks. By the way, anyone’s donation of a chocolate item is highly welcome. Just bring it to the PHS wrestling gym on Wednesday, June 5th by 5 pm or when you come. It really helps if you bring it ready to sell (in serving sizes). Thank you! Thank You! The Pioneer Home Tours are a very popular fundraiser, also. This year, the homes will be on Friday, June 7th from 3 - 6 pm, $5.00 / person. The proceeds go to the “Sub for Santa” event, also. Many thanks to the generous home owners who have allowed us to enjoy their Pioneer homes. The original owners would be pleased with the care that has been done with these homes. The homes on the tour are: Roxanne Daniels @ 50 West 200 South, Donna Marshall @ 164 North 100 West, Bob & Lavender @ 161 North 100 West, Tom & Sally Bartsch @ 298 East 100 North, and the home North of the Flying M restaurant that is up for sale ( more information will be available soon). Don’t forget the Panguitch Lion's Club Breakfast Saturday morning at the Zions Bank, starting at 7:30. All money that the Club raises goes right back into the town. Seventy-five years ago, on June 6, 1944, the troops of Company E 1st waded ashore “into the Jaws of Death” at Omaha Beach at Normandy, France. It was D-Day and 156,000+ troops from the U.S, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Norway and other Allied nations, invaded 5 beaches along the 50 miles stretch
of the Normandy coast. With code names of Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword. Omaha was the largest and the costliest. The U.S. suffered some 2,400 casualties. There were 6,000 ships and landing crafts, 50,000 vehicles, 11,000 planes. Twelve thousand and four were killed, wounded or missing or captured. U.S. 8,230, United Kingdom 2,700 and Canada 1074. It was the largest amphibious assault in the history of warfare. Allied forces of the United States, Great Britain and Canada plunged themselves onto the European continent to break Hitler’s grip on Nazi-occupied France. Paratroopers were dropped behind enemy lines, to secure inland positions. Then there were gliders that were called flying coffins, because they came apart upon landing, were flown in to outfit the paratrooper’s with supplies such as weapons and jeeps. Brig. General Theodore Roosevelt Jr., who at age 57 led the troops that stormed Utah Beach, is buried in the Normandy Cemetery among the heroes who gave their lives to carve a path to liberation, exposure of the Holocaust and victory in the European theater of World War II. (The American Legion Magazine). Five years later was the forgotten war, Korea. North Korea, along with help from Russia and China, invaded South Korea, and another 37,000 of Americas finest perished. Not long after that was Vietnam War, and the horrors continued, with another 50,000 heros taken way too young. When France left after 20 years in Vietnam, we got involved to stop the domino effect of communism. Vietnam Veterans lived and died from the horrors of this brutal war, and the effects of Agent Orange long after they were discharged. When will we ever learn? Mack O

Stress is a universally experienced phenomenon. Although there are many causes, the methods of managing it are generally the same. Research from varying professionals helps explain how coping strategies work, broken into three categories – physical, mental and social. Here are the Social Staregies: SOCIAL STRATEGIES 1 - Talk to a friend – Knowing that you are not alone facing your stressors can empower you. The Mayo Clinic asserts that people with strong social support networks are healthier and
live longer. This is likely because a social support network increases your sense of belonging, feelings of self-worth and of security. In addition, others often have a different perspective and may suggest changes or coping strategies you had not thought about. 2 - Spend time with a pet – Animals reduce tension, improve mood and can be a nice icebreaker in social interactions. According to health journalist Kathleen Doheny, having a pet yields unconditional love, a diminished sense of being alone, physical contact, a consistent daily routine (often including exercise) and an increased sense of self-esteem from caring for it. However, the benefits of having
a pet are reduced if doing so causes worry, is not affordable or if you aren’t in a position to provide care. Therefore, a pet is not a one-size-fits-all solution for reducing stress. 3 - Learn to say no – The Mayo Clinic proposes that saying no to one thing means you are saying yes to another priority. Doing so can also open up opportunities to try new things and for others to step up to what you are turning down. Being able to say no reflects a healthy level of assertiveness and self-confidence. Always saying yes causes stress, which over time can lead to burnout, resentment and illness. 4 - Meet with a professional – If your stresses become overwhelming and bur-
densome, seek professional help. The Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance notes that a good therapist may help you cope with the stresses or traumatic events you have or are experiencing by helping you Since stress is part of everyday life, it is important that you learn healthy, effective coping skills. Understanding the reasons for common stress management strategies makes them even more empowering. As you apply them, your personal well-being and relationships with others are likely to improve.

Thinking of Starting a Nonprofit? A reader recommended I write about non-profit entities. Nonprofits are organizations whose purpose is to serve a public interest. The Red Cross, religious organizations, and groups like Friends of National Parks organizations are typically nonprofit businesses. They receive state and federal tax exemptions. Nonprofits can have more income than expenditures with the understanding that the profit is spent to fulfill the mission of the organization. Below is information about the different types of nonprofit organizations and where to find out more information. A nonprofit business must be established through federal and state procedures. “501(c)(3)” is a term thrown around and refers to a section of IRS code allowing organizations to be tax exempt and is referenced as nonprofit organizations. Corporations, trusts, LLCs, unincorporated associations, and nonprofit corporations can all be a nonprofit organization. Organizations such as Teach for America, Boy Scouts, and Girl Scouts are nonprofit organizations each with unique business structures. Public charities, private foundations, and private operating foundations are the most common organizations who use nonprofit status. Churches, animal welfare agencies, and conservation organizations are examples of public charities. A public charity must earn a majority of its revenue from the general public or government entities. To continue as a nonprofit, at least 1/3 of its donated revenue must be obtained from public individuals, companies, or public charities. Public charity donors can deduct up to 50% of their income donated as an individual and up to 10% as a corporation. Public charities require a governing body of unrelated individuals and are actively involved in their cause. For instance, the Red Cross is a public charity with a board of directors that depends on donations from
private individuals, organizations, and grants. It provides services to people in need and responses to disasters. Private foundations are also called non-operating foundations and do not have any active programming. Private foundations usually consist of a limited number of donors or single donors. Private foundations do not require a governing board. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is an example of a She's your local lawyer! private foundation with two primary donors and managers, Bill and Melinda policy, and applying for fedGates.

Dixie National Forest map, including the Powell (left) and Escalante Ranger Districts.. New District Manager Cont'd from page 1
Dixie National Forest. On the north side of Highway 12 it is sandwiched between US Highway 89 to the west and Utah Highway 22 to the East (the road that goes from Bryce North to Antimony). Its lower portion to the south of Highway 12 extends to the vicinity of Alton, with a little spur jutting out and tucking itself around Bryce Canyon National Park. Wehrli describes himself as “newish” to the area—to Panguitch and the Powell District itself—but he’s already familiar with the region, having worked on the Fishlake National Forest for six years between 2003 and 2009, prior to working at the Rocky Mountain regional office. Growing up in Salt Lake City, Wehrli attended Weber State, and then University of Utah on a track scholarship. Though he majored in political science, his dream was of an outdoor job. “Even in high school when they’d do aptitude tests I always wanted to work outdoors, in the mountains—that’s where my passion was,” said Wehrli. His first public service opportunity was with the BLM State Office, and then he got his first job with the Forest Service, in 2000. His initial Forest Service work was on the 2001 roadless rule. “I was back and forth between the Washington office and Salt Lake. I was working with the content analysis team, summarizing all the comments on that,” he said. “I grew up in the outdoors, I love hunting, fishing, camping, and hiking to an extent. So recreation is a big passion of mine. As the district ranger, I want to see that balance of multiple use. That doesn’t mean everything is everywhere. Some things have to co-exist with other things—we have to manage mountain bikers and free ranging cattle. I’ve hit a cow on my mountain bike, and that’s not fun. You don’t want someone on their four wheeler out chasing cows. It’s not
good for the landscape and it’s not good for critical habitat,” said Wehrli. Wehrli said a major project on the Powell District right now is travel management planning. This involves identifying and authorizing which roads and motorized trails are open to public use, and which ones are not. “Some people think that any road, even if it was created illegally, should be open, and others think everything should be closed. There’s a balance that needs to be achieved.” Wehrli underscores that he is not the final decisionmaker in this process. “That’s the Forest Supervisor, Angie Bulletts,” he said. “We’re getting ready to publish the draft Environmental Impact Statement which will initiate a 45-day public comment period. We expect to get a lot of interest and a lot of comments and we will have to consider those comments in light of the analysis. We’ll respond to those comments, attach that response and publish a final EIS with a draft record of decision which will initiate an administrative review,” he said. “My whole career, I’ve been involved in the NEPA process from start to finish,” said Wehrli, referring to the 1970 National Environmental Policy Act, which requires that all executive Federal agencies prepare reports that state the potential environmental effects of proposed Federal agency actions. “I worked with folks that developed the Forest Service NEPA training, and I’ve taught the NEPA training.” “We need NEPA nerds like me. I love NEPA. I think it’s a good decision-making process. There’s the black, there’s the white—and NEPA is all of the grey area in between. Currently the Forest Service does have an approach to try and make it more efficient, without jeopardizing its intent. It has its place and fulfills a role. There’s people who think it should be stronger and those who think we don’t need it. I’d say it could be more efficient, but it needs to be there. It keeps the agencies honest.”
Wehrli said that the “hot button” issues in the district are motorized access, public lands grazing and habitat concerns, and fuels reduction. “Most of the timber sales that are taking place into the future on this district are related to reducing the fuel load. A four-foot Ponderosa takes 400 to 500 years to grow. There’s not a lot of big trees in areas that are accessible. Most of that has been cut. We want to grow trees, but our mission also is to protect wildlife and water resources. We have intense fires because they’ve been kept off the landscape. Now we’re trying to mimic the natural fire process, reducing pinion-juniper stands and even treating sage brush encroachment. Fuels work is a high priority—lopping, scattering, piling, burning. Timber is when and where we can get it as part of reducing fuels. There are not a lot of mills around to take small diameter stuff. But when we do have a timber sale, we want to sell the timber.” Wehrli says that if weather and conditions match up, controlled burns on the Powell District will be scheduled in the Ahlstrom area, along with some fuels reduction work in the Deer Springs area in the southern district. The Powell District is also making investments in aspen regeneration on the Paunsaugunt. Wehrli explained that in order to keep aspen clones regenerating, they require some level of disturbance, either by killing the leaves or some of the root system. “When disturbed, aspens send out messages to generate new stems. But if they get eaten entirely off, they quit. So there’s a question of intensity and timing. We’ve learned a lot more about aspen recently. We’ve lost huge chunks of our aspen habitat. In our region, aspen ecosystems are second only to riparian areas in terms of diversity.” Wehrli also noted that local managers have been monitoring Sage Grouse and habitat. “We have quite a bit of habitat on this district. There are birds that are collared that we are monitoring.” He also said they are working with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on Utah Prairie Dog conservation, “We’ve made some great strides in conservation and protection in habitat.” Monitoring is a theme in Wehrli’s approach to his new job. “I’m new enough that I’m not coming in with some idealistic approach that something needs to be changed. I’m going to monitor, I’m going to watch.” Wehrli added, “We have staff here that knows this place much better than I do. I have to rely on their localized knowledge, and their knowledge of the people that live in the area, to understand…are we doing what’s OK? Do we need to change it? Everybody has an opinion but my role is to take that information in and use that as a basis on how to manage the land.” —Insider
Emergency Planning Cont'd from page 1
the vigorous ground vibrations tending to damage one and two story buildings. However, the bulk of Salt Lake Valley (where much of I-15 runs) has soft, clayey soil, which amplifies the low-frequency, more lateral, seismic waves that cause slow, rolling shaking that is damaging to taller buildings and structures like overpasses. The more southern and south-western portions of the metropolitan area have soils slightly less soft than in the heart of the city. It is also possible for tectonic subsidence or tilting to cause flooding by tilting lakebeds or dropping the ground surface below the water table. The Great Salt Lake and Utah Lake could both shift eastward, causing shoreline flooding. Liquefaction occurs when softer soils behave like a liquid, losing the ability to support structures. Low-lying areas with saturated, loose, sandy soils are subject to this phenomenon. Unfortunately, the interchange overpasses of I-80 and I-15 where they intersect (not so affectionately known as the spaghetti bowl), are all built on just such soils. Bob Carey, the Response and Recovery Bureau Chief for the State Department of Public Safety, who gave the LEPC presentation, said in effect that this complex of overpasses would be toast. (My word, not his; however I’ve noticed there is often standing water at the base of the overpass supports, so I take this to be truth.) Think about what that means. All east-west traffic and all north-south traffic would be cut off at that point if the entire interchange complex collapses. The implications for the rest of Utah are serious, and we will come back to that. Within the city, in addition to damaging roads and bridges, liquefaction and the various types of shaking would likely break a good portion of the old water mains, break sewer pipelines resulting in contamination of surface and ground water, cause damage to gas and electrical distribution systems, create sinkholes, cause oil spills, potentially release other hazardous materials from the refineries and chemical storage systems, and then of course there is the likelihood of fires from all this damage and release of volatile materials. Not to mention potential mud or
Page 9 landslides, dam failures, rock falls and flooding. Remember, the vertical or angled slipping movement in a Big One produces a surface rupture or scarp. In prehistoric Utah these were anywhere from 6 to 12 feet high. A photo from the 1934 quake in Hansel Valley (6.6 magnitude) shows an old car straddling such a fracture. Fortunately the scarp produced in that quake was a small one—a foot and a half I believe—but best not to be caught on top of a fault when it fractures! I suspect the driver of that car experienced quite a shock. Carey also pointed out that in the aftermath of a Big One basically none of the hospitals in SLC would be functional, due to the lack of water and sewers. It is estimated that households without water would number over 400,000 on Day 1, and on Day 90 still almost 220,000. Households without electric power would number over 387,000 on Day 1; however electric power generally can be restored more quickly than water. Loss-estimation models indicate that when (not if) this Salt Lake City segment of the fault ruptures, life-threatening injuries and fatalities would number around 9,000; displaced households would number150,000; building losses would be at 42 billion dollars That’s the bad news, and there isn’t much good news, except for the fact that less than 1% of buildings actually collapse, and at the State level much attention is going into preparing us for such an event. Back to the bad news: 87% of the State’s population (2.67 million people) would be affected, and 75% of the economy would be drastically impacted. Where there is ancient lake sediment, seismic waves would be accelerated, assuring damage easily extending into Juab County; in fact twelve counties would likely experience damage from such a quake. And aftershocks can continue for weeks or months after the main quake. Along the Wasatch Front thousands of rock falls and related shallow slides on hillsides could occur near the mountain front and in the canyons. Rock falls can occur up to 175 miles away from the epicenter of a 7.5 earthquake. Deeper-seated landslides are likely to occur on steep slopes, but generally do not occur as far away from an epicenter as do the rock falls. Essentially all traffic in, through and out of SLC would
be cut off. Parley, Provo and other canyons would be impassable. And that spaghetti bowl intersection? Gone! The 240 trucks per hour, carrying food, fuel and other goods, which come into SLC from the east on I-80, would be stopped. The 80 trucks per hour that come in from the west would also be stopped. North-south travel is stopped. Most of the supply chain that the people of Utah rely on would be severed, and this is why I wrote in the last Episode that a Big One in SLC could be worse for Wayne County, and other counties, than a Big One close to home. There was a time when Wayne County was essentially food independent, meaning everything you truly needed for survival was grown or raised within the county. No doubt that was true for fuels and other necessities as well. This is no longer the case, and if most supplies coming from the east, west, or north into SLC before heading south on I-15 towards Wayne County were cut off, Wayne County would suffer, and quickly. (The potential for this and what to do about it deserve a separate discussion at another time.) Another impact is that virtually all our emergency personnel would be needed along the Wasatch Front. Just as other county and state emergency services and personnel would come to our aid, we too must go to the aid of others. There would be an influx of people into the county in need of help: medical attention, shelter, food— all the essentials for life. Possibly more people than live in Wayne County would come here or be sent here as part of emergency responses. This is a scenario that emergency managers everywhere have to take into account in their planning. Big disasters don’t stay local, and it’s a lot easier for a heavily populated area to assist a sparsely populated area than the reverse. Enough for now. As in the previous episode, I have relied heavily on Utah State publications for this information, particularly Putting Down Roots in Earthquake Country. Next episode will examine the response of different building types to earthquakes and some things you can do to stay safe and minimize potential quake damage.

The Entrada Institute celebrates 25 years. 25th Birthday Cont'd from page 1
And when tax-exempt status was granted by the IRS, they looked at each other and asked, “What do we do now?” Don Gomes, vice president of the Entrada Institute, picks up the tale from there. “Well, what I can gather from bits and pieces of early Entrada history, there was a certain amount of trial and error,” he recalls. “Entrada’s Saturday night programs ranged from classical music recitals, to discussions of current events, to readings of new plays, books, and poems.” According to past president and current board member Steve Lutz, “It didn’t take long before the Entrada Institute knew what it was and, equally importantly, what it was not.” The objective early on was heavily focused on arts, humanities, and science. But, beginning in the mid-2000s and increasingly since, Entrada’s mission has expanded to encompass other complementary goals. “We started contributing to preserving this area’s history: its historic buildings, the stories of the Native Americans of the area, the rich archaeological legacy left by their ancestors across the Colorado Plateau, and the
pioneers and how they built their lives here,” Milligan continues. “We could also see how our increased responsibilities as the arts council for Wayne County and Torrey Town, as well as other community involvement such as with Dark Skies and Sparking Humanities, lined up with our goals to celebrate the Capitol Reef area and its peoples.” All of which brings us back to a 25-year history. The Entrada Institute launched the bold “Capital Campaign in Capitol Reef Country” to build a vibrant cultural center, including a state-of-the-art stage, on the property to the south of its current home at Robbers Roost in Torrey. “The Entrada Center will be a legacy for all of us going forward,” reflects Frank McEntire, current board member, past president, and former director of the Utah Arts Council. “The stage will allow for symphony performances, touring plays, community events, and production of new works by some of Utah’s up-and-coming and well-established artists, writers, and musicians.” The Entrada House, originally built by Torrey native Glade Mott as a weekend residence, “will be remodeled to provide lodging for Entrada guests, exhibit space, and a larger yet intimate, year-round indoor venue for symposiums, recitals,
and other smaller gatherings,” continued McEntire. And then there are the grounds, which will feature native plants, a terraced seating area to allow for unobstructed views of the stage, artist pop-up tent pads along the perimeter, an outdoor lecture area to the north, and a contemplation garden to the south. “The grounds at the Entrada Center are going to be a place for the entire Wayne County community, Capitol Reef visitors, and Entrada programming guests to gather and celebrate. Diamond Phillips Architects has done a great job of capturing the spirit of Entrada and the community,” explained Gomes. The Entrada Institute’s 25th Anniversary Celebration runs from mid-May through October 2019 and includes Sunset Series events, plein air painting and workshops (known as Arts and the Park), the Bicknell International Film Festival (BIFF), a Music and Makers weekend, and a special end-of-season friendraiser—and fundraiser—with music by the renowned, Colorado-based bluegrass band Birds of Play.

USDA Forest Service and State of Utah Sign Shared Stewardship Agreement
SALT LAKE CITY - U. S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue joined Utah Governor Gary R. Herbert to sign an agreement between the Forest Service and the State of Utah focused on shared stewardship. As part of this Shared Stewardship Agreement, the State of Utah and the USDA Forest Service are working together to identify and map priority landscapes that will guide activities across jurisdictional boundaries. Utah and the Forest Service will work in partnership to restore these priority landscapes using all tools available, including existing programs such as Utah’s Watershed Restoration Initiative and the Governor’s Catastrophic Wildfire Reduction Strategy. “This agreement is about setting priorities together and combining resources to achieve healthier forests for the people of Utah,” said Secretary Perdue. “We will use every available authority and tool at our disposal to support partnership efforts to improve forest health and target treatments in areas with the highest payoffs. We want to leave America’s forests better than we found them and that means creating meaningful stewardship partnerships that proactively keep
our forests healthy.” This shared stewardship agreement establishes a framework that will allow the State of Utah to work collaboratively with the Forest Service to accomplish mutual goals and effectively respond to the increasing suite of challenges on National Forest System lands within Utah. “Through programs like the Watershed Restoration Initiative, which is responsible for restoring over 1.6 million acres of priority watershed statewide, our state has developed a history of working collaboratively with our federal and local partners,” said Governor Herbert. “This new Shared Stewardship agreement offers us another tool in our toolkit to elevate cooperation with our federal partners. This added collaboration will help us address the most critical needs
impacting the health of Utah forests and watersheds.” Under the agreement, the State of Utah and the USDA Forest Service will focus on landscape-scale forest restoration activities that protect at-risk communities and watersheds. Shared Stewardship responds to the urgent and growing challenges faced by managers and owners of forests in Utah and across the nation, among them catastrophic wildfires, invasive species, drought, and epidemics of forest insects and disease. Of particular concern are longer fire seasons and the increasing size and severity of wildfires, along with the expanding risk to communities, water sources, wildlife habitat, air quality, and the safety of firefighters. —United States Forest Service
