Volunteers of all ages spent the morning picking up litter along the roads and highways, laying mulch and picking weeds at the park, as well as removing unwanted items from their own yards. The dumpster was filled up twice. (Thank you, Scott Chesnut.)

Huge thanks goes out to all of the enthusiastic folks that raked, pruned, collected trash, attached new flags to poles, and helped prepare the Park

The Zoning Administrator introduced the application. A 5.92 acre lot would be subdivided from a current 38 acre lot. The access road is a town road, 100 N, that has not been completely finished, but this could be a condition added to the application.

The applicants have a letter from the health department about septic, and the fire department has signed off. The water will be from a well. No public comments were made.

Discussion within the PC commenced. A member of the PC stated that the water right amount is sufficient. A PC member recommended that they forgo the condition of finishing the road, because it is a town road which puts the road’s condition under the jurisdiction of

RFK Jr. for Your Consideration Last month, Robert Kennedy Jr. announced that he would seek the Democratic presidential nomination and challenge Biden in the Democratic primary election. Kennedy hails from what is perhaps America’s bestknown political family, has had a successful legal career, and truly reflects many of the values of the Democratic Party that I remember growing up. His platform includes bridging political divides, protecting civil liberties, ending our proxy war in Ukraine, cleaning up the federal agencies, and government transparency. While I am a life-long conservative Republican, I appreciated many of the values embraced by the Democratic Party of my early 20s. The party I remember staunchly defended civil liberties, was suspicious of the surveillance state, and was reluctant to commit American forces to open-ended foreign wars. Freedom of Speech, as enshrined in the 1st Amendment, was a staple of the progressive platform, and using the levers of government to go after political dissidents or undercut civil liberties would’ve been unthinkable. I’ve watched the party evolve into something [that I believe to be] very dark and authoritarian.

While I’ve never cared for the Kennedy family or their brand of politics, RFK Jr’s approach to

issues has been refreshing and he brings a certain authenticity that is sorely lacking in contemporary American politics. He is reviled in leftist circles for his outspoken criticism of COVID policies, his skepticism of COVID vaccinations, and his opposition to forced inoculation. It’s difficult [for me] to understand how taking a stand on these issues would preclude a candidate from participating in a debate.

Today’s Democratic Party has been molded into an extreme leftist party that I don’t even think his late uncle Ted would recognize.

There are many Democratic voters that will quietly admit Biden has been a disaster and that his cognitive health is a concern.

It stands to reason that providing an alternative to the status-quo will give primary voters a chance to change course and get back to many of the principles that Democrats once stood for. Kennedy seems like the obvious choice for those who [believe] that the Biden Presidency has been abysmal, but may also be unwilling to support either Trump or Desantis. To those participating in the Democratic primary, I would submit to you that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is worth your consideration.

News from Wayne County Graduation 2023

The Insider

by Adus F. Dorsey

Adus Dorsey

It is graduation week in Wayne County. Pictured is Haylie Durfey, a 2023 Wayne High School graduate.

WAYNE CO. - It is graduation week in Wayne County, a time when parents look at their kids differently, as if they are actually grown-ups. For weeks, mothers and fathers have been combing through cardboard boxes filled with ancient photos of their sons and daughters throughout the years, shedding tears of joy and anxiety at the thought that their progeny will soon be flying the coop. (An idea that they have often prayed for on many a night, but now that the time is nye, they are having second thoughts.)

For many a graduating senior in high school, there are no more Scooby Doo pajamas and bedtime stories or being tucked in at night; gone will be the days of the curfew or having to sneak out of the house at night under the cover of darkness.

For nights to come, long will be the drawn-out discussions around the dinner table about fiscal responsibility, hygiene, and dirty laundry. For some graduating seniors, and since spring break, care packages filled with all the essentials have been sitting near the front door near stuffed suitcases packed with everything they own, along with a card with a twenty-dollar bill in it that says, “Good Luck.”

You could hardly go

anywhere in Wayne County on Wednesday afternoon that there were not balloons on the side of the road announcing that a "Wayne County Graduate Lives Here!" Driveways were filled with cars of relatives and friends, and garages and shops were lined with Dutch ovens filled with honey lamb, potatoes of all kinds and so many salads and desserts that little kids could hardly choose from the assortment because there were so many.

High school graduation is one of those light bulb moments in life, a major milestone that is remembered for a lifetime.

Soon all the ribbons, glitter and balloons will go to the roadside, high school memories will occupy dreams at night for about a month, or until more pressing issues like college, trade school or life, reality and bills begin to seep in.

Congratulations to all the graduating Wayne High School seniors; your fam-

ily and friends are proud of you. Never mind the pickup parked at the back door waiting to load all your stuff and move you out of the house or that your little brothers and sisters have been playing the lottery betting on which one of them will end up with your bedroom.

A new beginning awaits you; make the most of it, go forth and do great things, be somebody, and remember happiness is like a bank account, you can only withdraw from it what you put into it.

All the best from your parents, family, and friends.

tHe lAuGhiNg Am I Required To Treat My Children Equally pOiNt!! in My Estate Distribution Plan?

by Jeffery J. McKenna No. The manner in which you wish to distribute your assets upon your death is very personal in nature. You may choose to have your assets distributed equally among your children or in whatever proportions you may deem appropriate.

If you do not take your estate planning into your own hands, the state in which you live will normally have its own distribution scheme, which often does not represent a decedent's wishes. Since every person's situation is different, your estate planning attorney will draft your estate planning documents to comply with your wishes while, at the same time, directing you toward realistic and taxeffective goals.

You may want to disinherit a child for several reasons. Your child may have sufficient resources of his or her own; your child may be undeserving of an inheritance; your other children may have greater or special needs; or you may not want to compound a child's own estate tax liability. Most state laws permit you to totally disinherit a child, regardless of reason.

However, care must be taken in order to effectively disinherit a child.

First, it is important that you have a will or a trust. If you die intestate (without an estate plan), state laws provide that

your children are entitled to a share of your estate.

Therefore, if you die intestate, the child you wanted to disinherit will share in your estate against your wishes. If it is your intention to disinherit your child, it is imperative to specifically reference that child by name in your will and/or trust and acknowledge that you are intentionally not providing for that child. Failure to do so could allow that disgruntled child to claim that he or she was unintentionally "omitted" from your estate plan and force a share of your estate, thus thwarting your wishes.

Using a trust may provide additional benefits over a will when intentionally disinheriting a child.

Because trusts are not automatically subject to the jurisdiction of the probate court, the notification requirements of the probate court do not apply. The trustee of your trust is under no obligation to provide the disinherited child with the details of your estate plan since he or she is not a beneficiary. Additionally, should your disgruntled, disinherited child choose to challenge the validity of your trust, he or she confronts a number of obstacles not present in the probate process.

Disinheritance is a personal issue. One who wishes to disinherit a child may find that there are other effective options, such as

It may be wise to consult an estate planning attorney to become informed of all your options before making decisions that affect the distribution of your estate, and possibly the harmony of your family, once you are gone.

A man was driving down the road when a policeman stopped him. The officer looked in the back of the man’s truck and said, “Why are these penguins in your truck?”

The man replied, “These are my penguins.

They belong to me.”

“You need to take them to the zoo,” the policeman said.

The next day, the officer saw the same guy driving down the road. He pulled him over again. He saw the penguins were still in the truck, but they were wearing sunglasses this time.

“I thought I told you to take these penguins to the zoo!”, the officer said.

“I did,” the man replied. “And today I’m taking them to the beach."

A boy read a restaurant sign that advertised fat-free French fries.

“Sounds great,” said the health-conscious boy.

He ordered some. He watched as the cook pulled a basket of fries from the fryer. The potatoes were dripping with oil when the cook put them into the container.

“Wait a minute,” the boy said. “Those don’t look fat-free.”

“Sure they are,” the cook said. “We charge only for the potatoes.”

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com What a wonderful time of the year; there is so much color in the town. For the first time in the thirty-some years we have lived here, the lilacs are blooming everywhere; even our bushes are in bloom, and we have some white ones also. In the old days, when people didn’t have much money, lilacs were the flower of choice to decorate the headstones with. The weather has held, with just enough wind to make the flags out at the cemetery stand out. Many thanks to the Olsens and our daughter Kelly and her son Stefen for all of their helping hands for Pat and me putting up the flags for the veterans.

We have about 250 veterans with markers by their graves.

Many thanks to Rick Sawyer for the very fine grave markers that he made, and we used every one of them.

June is named for the Roman goddess Juno, patroness of marriage and the well-being of women. That is maybe one of the reasons why so many weddings are held this month. Another reason was that the Romans were big on baths, using the Roman baths as many as three times a day. When the people broke away from the Romans, the people went away from any tradition that the Romans had. They bathed once a year and that was in June. In illustrations of those days, the people had flowers on their wrists, so those that kissed their hands smelled the flowers instead of the bad smell of being unclean.

With the Panguitch Quilt Festival only a week away, it is time to gear up for it. It will start next Wednesday, June the 7th, with the Chocolate Fest, and it will be held at Panguitch Middle School. After 25 years, Pat has found a friend, April Hookham, that will be taking her place. April ran it last year and did a great job.

So all of you candy makers, get out the sugar and spoil all of us with the best candy anywhere. All money goes to the Sub for Santa fund.

There will also be live music to entertain you while you indulge.

Thursday morning starts the quilt classes that people come from all over the country to learn from.

That night is the Quilt Walk play, starring me; I am the only one left from the original cast. We have some new very talented players in this year’s cast. All three nights will be a dinner show, with great food to go along with an outstanding cast. On all three days, there will be a lot of quilts on display in the high school gym. There is a lot of talent and workmanship that goes into these works of art. Speaking of great art, Friday is the home tour event also. Don’t miss these this year. Tera Conner and her daughter, Jaynie, are taking charge of the home tours this year. Thanks to the homeowners and those who are putting the home show together. Again, the proceeds go to Sub for Santa.

Saturday morning will be the annual Lions Club breakfast, and it will be at the Zions Bank. All the food is freshly cooked, and everything is included in the price—pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage and juice, coffee or tea. At 10 o’clock, there will be a motorcycle ride down Main and Center streets.

There will be demonstrations on how to make candles or soap and other fun things.

June used to have a lot of things going on; the BMW drivers had a weeklong rally and the fiddlers came for a couple nights.

Both groups did this to entertain us, but like a lot of us, they got old. However, the really big event for the summer will be in the last week in June and that will be the Panguitch Valley Balloon Rally. It is like homecoming,

with 4,000 people coming for the day and the balloon glow. There are things for the kids, people selling stuff and plenty of vendors selling food and plenty of entertainment in the evening, with bands spread all over town.

It looks like there will be a settlement on the debt ceiling after all. The GOP wanted to cut the veterans' benefits and those of the seniors. But that was only

a smoke screen. The only thing I really wanted was new taxes on the 1%ers.

The last president dropped taxes on the wealthy and corporations, and it cost the national debt $500 billion a year just for starters and that is for eight more years.

America, America, may God mend thy every flaw. God bless our veterans and all of our military.

Garfield Commission: Approval of three

subdivisions, expansion of water storage capacities by local water companies, Triple C Arena signage, the Panguitch dog pound, and further funds for the horse shoe pits discussed.

Garfield Commission Cont'd from A1

Upper Sevier conservation districts. Local irrigation companies within the districts are trying to expand their water storage capacities. The Commission approved serving as a sponsor for the presented projects. They further stated their support for any resultant litigation in case GSENM or BLM opposed the water projects.

Pine Creek Irrigation company in Escalante plans to install a new diversion on private land, with pipeline running along county road right of way, into a 400-acrefoot reservoir on BLM land.

Henrieville Irrigation Company needs to replace old pipelines and refurbish damaged reservoirs.

Their longer-range plan is to relocate their ponds to also serve an envisioned hydroelectric plant. If the full Henrieville plan is approved, it will serve as a pilot project for a subsequent hydro plant coming out of Panguitch Lake.

Governor's Honors

Academy, Cache Eyre: The Commission approved $500 toward the $1800 expense for Eyre to attend a nine-day scholarship camp.

Triple C Arena signage and Panguitch Dog Pound: The Commission approved Panguitch City’s request to pay 50 percent of the $42,760 cost for updating the arena’s digital sign. In another request, the Commission was asked if the county would share the $50K expense for expanding Panguitch City’s dog pound, which serves the entire county. The Commissioners decided to bring this topic to the next mayors’ meeting to see if all the towns in the county would contribute. The pound is not a rescue; it keeps the dogs for one week, at which point they are generally euthanized.

Horse Shoe Pits, Benj Reins: According to Reins, tournaments bring in hundreds of participants to Panguitch. Reins has already obtained $3K from Garfield County Office of Tourism for 2023. To improve aesthetics, Reins requested another $15K for concrete

and electric work and turf.

Excluding the tourism department, the county has previously donated $25K to the horseshoe pits. The Commissioners wanted to look at the designated area and also wanted to hear what Panguitch City will be contributing. The subject will be decided at the June 12 meeting.

In other action, two Bristlecone Water District Board vacancies will be advertised; business licenses for Aquarius Mountain Pottery and a short-term rental on Mammoth Creek were approved. The Commission went into closed session to discuss personnel, real estate, and litigation.

The Garfield County Commission meets on the second and fourth Monday of each month starting at 10 a.m. All meetings are held in the County Courthouse in Panguitch. There is no set up for electronic participation, but all meeting recordings are uploaded to the Utah Public Meetings Notice board, https:// www.utah.gov/pmn/.

Boulder Planning: At this special meeting of the

Boulder Planning Commission, the preliminary application of the Smalley/Rice subdivision and the upcoming Attainable Housing Forum discussed.

the town. The applicants and the town have already made agreements about finishing the road. The applicants were thanked for a well thought out application that meets the requirements. The PC voted to send this preliminary application to the Town Council (TC) with a recommendation for approval.

Discussion on the June 15, 2023, Update to the Attainable Housing Forum followed. The forum will be held at 6 p.m.

The town must decide if there is willingness within the community to provide incentives to developers to support open space and attainable housing. Desire to hear more public feedback was voiced. The reports from the three attainable housing working groups will be available online before the meeting. Findings from the reports can contribute to practical ideas that could be implemented. There is already some direction that has come

out of committees, for example, positive feedback about allowing employee housing on commercial properties. Each committee could come up with a summary, as well as a detailed report.

A draft of incentive ideas created by a PC member was discussed, and how these incentive ideas could be presented at the meeting.

The ideas include allowing two small lots for every five acres preserved in agricultural space and allowing smaller lot sizes for developers willing to preserve a certain percentage of lots as attainable using covenants.

The Town Planner had presented about bonus density and transfer development rights at a previous meeting. This could be presented to the public, with visuals to help make the concepts clear.

It was noted that when Moab started this process, it took them over a year to finalize their ordinance.

The details are difficult, and the town needs to focus on the question of whether the public wants to consider these incentives at all.

The housing providers

questionnaire can be sent out to the community as a whole. This questionnaire asks questions about what incentives would motivate landowners to divide in a way that supports open space and attainable housing. So far, feedback has been elicited from large landowners, but it was brought up that smaller subdivisions should also be considered. There are other attainable housing situations that could benefit from incentives as well, such as a group of people going in on a ten acre parcel of land together and being able to split it.

The housing needs survey results showed that there is interest in town about collaborative housing and community land trusts, so these topics should be presented at the forum.

It was stated that all options, even if they are controversial, should be put on the table so that the PC can get as much public feedback as possible.

The Boulder Planning Commission meets on the second Thursday of each month at 7 p.m.

A bright meteor can fall at any time.

The closest and brightest supernova—exploding star—in years burst forth in a nearby galaxy on May 19, 2023. Although close and bright, you’ll need a telescope at least 6-inches in diameter to see it. It’s wonderfully placed nearly overhead in the early evening near the end star in the handle of the Big Dipper, in the bright galaxy M101.

Google “supernova m101” for all the information you could want.

You don’t need a telescope to see the moon and planets. Mars and Venus form a pretty pair in the evening sky. You’ll see Venus 1/4 of the way up the western sky as darkness falls, and Mars is to the upper left of Venus. On the 5th, they’re 9° apart, and on the 11th, they’re 7° apart (the width of your fist held at arm’s length is 10°). Mars is only 1/150th as bright as Venus. Note the color contrast; Venus is the same color as the sun, while Mars is slightly orange.

Venus has been moving eastward against the background of stars for months, approaching Mars, which has been moving eastward too but much

slower. Watch Venus continue to close the gap—for a few more weeks only.

Both planets are in Cancer, a constellation with no bright stars. The only reason you’ve heard of Cancer is because the ecliptic—the path of the sun, moon, and planets —passes through it, and so do they. One noteworthy object in Cancer is the Beehive Star Cluster; Mars passed in front of it on the 1st and 2nd, and Venus will pass close to it next week.

The Beehive is best seen with binoculars or a wideangle spotting telescope.

Saturn and Jupiter are in the morning sky. An hour before sunrise, Jupiter is due east but only about 15° high. Its great brightness let you see it in morning twilight.

Saturn is fainter but higher so may be easier to see. At the same time, it’s 1/3 of the way up the southeast sky. The moon is right of Saturn on the 9th and left of Saturn on the 10th.

Summer is the best time to see meteors since two major meteor showers are active (the Delta Aquariids in late July and the Perseids in August), but you can see meteors

any night of the year. On a typical night, you’ll see roughly six meteors per hour. Some are dust shed by comets and thus are the same particles that fall in a meteor shower, but others have a quite different origin—they are particles knocked off asteroids, and these come from random directions at random speeds. Some that are large enough survive their fall to land as meteorites.

The Grand Canyon Star Party is held on both rims from June 10-17, when visitors can look through a slew of telescopes, some amazingly large, at a variety of objects under a very dark sky —for free. I participated one year, and it was fun.

Learn more with Google.

John Mosley was Program Supervisor of the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles for 27 years and is the author of “Stargazing for Beginners” and “Stargazing with Binoculars and Telescopes.” He and his wife live in St. George, where he continues to stargaze from his retirement home while serving on the advisory committee for Stellar Vista Observatory.

Garfield County School District Teacher Highlight

Frecia Houston Frandsen has been a resident of Garfield County her entire life and teaches 3rd grade at Panguitch Elementary School. The tech tool for her classroom is MILO, the Land Rover, created by LEGO.

The tech tool for Frecia Houston Frandsen's 3rd grade classroom at Panguitch Elementary School is MILO, the Land Rover (above), created by LEGO. GARFIELD CO. Frecia Houston Frandsen has been a resident of Garfield County her entire life.

She grew up loving the area in which she lived.

“Garfield County and the people in it truly have helped mold and shape me into who I am today. I am

a wife and a mom to some amazing little people and enjoy those “titles” outside of being ‘Mrs. Frandsen.’ I enjoy being outdoors, traveling, finding new ways to teach concepts in my classroom, and making memories with my sweet family,” says Frandsen.

The tech tool for Frandsen’s 3rd grade classroom at Panguitch Elementary School is called MILO, the Land Rover, created by LEGO. “My students loved watching MILO grow and develop as the computer science lessons progressed.

We learned how to build, code, and relate our knowledge and skill set to our state standards,” explained Frandsen. “My students really enjoyed exploring the deeper meaning of how computer science is the foundation of most of our discoveries in the scientific field. They were amazed at how someone could code a few buttons to make a robot do and discover rare plant life in various biomes/ecosystems,” said Frandsen.

She believes that Computer Science is a foundational piece of our

future. “Looking around, I can relate all things to an algorithm, which is the root to the coding process and the development of new discoveries and ideas,” she explained.

“I have no doubt that…computer science will, in fact, be a leading root in our job fields in the United States. My hope as an educator is that my students find the why behind computer science and see the value and its endless opportunities…First to build the excitement and then help them discover real-world applications.”

Panguitch High Student Wins Zions Bank Scholarship

Panguitch High School student Makenzie Roundy won the regional drawing for a $500 scholarship savings account from Zions Bank’s Pays for A’s program, which was presented to her by Zions Bank Panguitch manager Marc Henrie.

PANGUITCH - Getting good grades means money in the bank for Panguitch High School student Makenzie Roundy. She won the regional drawing for a $500 scholarship savings account from Zions Bank’s Pays for A’s program. Roundy received the surprise news about the scholarship from Zions Bank Panguitch manager Marc Henrie at a presentation at the bank

B1

branch.

Pays for A’s rewards local students for scholastic success. Roundy was entered into the drawing by bringing her report card to Zions Bank and was paid for every “A” she received.

“Working hard in school pays off in so many ways, and we’re pleased to recognize Makenzie for her efforts through the Pays for A’s program,” Henrie said.

Over the past 20 years,

Pays for A’s has rewarded thousands of students across Utah and Idaho for working hard in school.

Middle school, junior high, and high school students, ages 12 to 18, can participate by bringing their most current term-end report card into any Zions Bank location.

They’ll receive $1 per “A” deposited into their savings account, or 50 cents per “A” if they opt for

cash. Students do not need a Zions Bank account to participate.

For each “A” on their report cards, students are also entered into a drawing to win one of 18 twiceyearly regional scholarships, each worth $500, and one grand prize drawing in each state.

PHS Sports Sidelines

by Kelly Holman Panguitch Bobcat softball season comes to an end after another tough year playing in the 2A classification. There were a lot of positives throughout the season, and the girls continued to battle each week, playing three games per week most of the season because of the many weather related cancellations early on.

Special thanks goes out to the three seniors—DJ Henrie, Chanlee Owens and Siena Sawyer—for their four years of hard work and dedication and for being such great examples of determination and leadership.

DJ led the team in hits with 30, Chanlee had 26, Kadee Harland had 22 and Lillee Torgersen had 21. DJ also led the team with 20 stolen bases, Kadee had 18, Lillee and Siena both had 13.

Lillee led the team in RBIs with 15, Kenli Hatch had 13, DJ with 12 and Chanlee and Siena had 11 each.

Sisters Kenli and Katie Hatch took good care of the pitching duties throughout the season and endured multiple innings per week with little or no rest between games.

Top batting averages were Kadee .564, Lillee .548, DJ .526, Chanlee .458, Katie .391. Jocelyn Certonio's bat came alive the last part of the season, as did Kenli's and Janessa Heaton's.

Siena was solid as catcher for most of the season until she broke her finger, and Lillee Torgersen

stepped in and did a great job to finish off the season. Center fielder Janessa Heaton directed the field and even played the last four games with a broken finger, as did Siena. Other varsity starters included DJ at third base, Kadee at shortstop, Chanlee at 2nd base, Jocelyn and Hailee Yardley split duties at first base and left or right field, and Katie was in the field or relieved Kenli in the pitching circle. Olivia Jessop was always ready to come in as a courtesy base runner when needed.

To round out the team, there were solid JV performances by Makenzie Roundy, Alexa Ordaz, Olivia Jessop, Sadie Pollock, Brooklee Mosdell, Berkli Black and MaKenna Owens, who all showed great improvements in batting and working in the field positions.

Thanks to Kim Harland and Jayli Leach who are amazing coaches and are so supportive of the youth and high school softball programs. Special thanks also to Marci Certonio for being our scorekeeper and in charge of fundraising. We love these girls and appreciate their hard work and commitment to Panguitch High softball.

The Bobcats had another great year, winning five more state championships: girls cross country, wrestling, boys basketball and boys and girls state track. They also had two second place trophies in baseball and volleyball.

Cache Canning: The shop fills a missing element in town by supporting Clean-up Day: The 2023

local artists and providing opportunities for them to share their work.

—Devaki Murch, Cache Canning customer and Boulder resident

Teasdale Town and Park Clean-up Day, held Saturday, May 20, 2023, was a success. Volunteers of all ages spent the morning picking up litter along the roads and highways, laying mulch and picking weeds at the park, as well as removing unwanted items from their own yards.

Cache Canning now has a storefront—adjacent to Hills & Hollows Market and Wild Indigo Café—in Boulder, Utah. The store’s inviting facade and array of inspired wares is bringing in both locals and tourists alike.

could support them moving more product.

Collett moved her business to Escalante about two years ago, where her kitchen is still located. Her desire to support local farms continues, including pickling produce from Half Acres Farm in Escalante and Salty Dog Farm in Boulder. The demand for her pickles is large enough that she has to source produce from elsewhere. “I can take more produce!” she said, “and bring me your fruit when it comes on; I’ll buy it from you!”

Collett is also the new Boulder Farmers Market Manager. With a background in both attending and organizing farmers markets, she will be a huge asset in promoting the market and the local farmers and artisans who sell there.

Already, you can see fliers all over town advertising the market, which will start on Saturday, May 20, 2023, from 9 a.m. - noon, and will continue on Saturdays throughout the season.

Though clearly passionate about markets, Collett has wanted a storefront for some time. “As a small business owner, retail sales help a lot instead of doing

all wholesale. And without going to huge markets anymore, I missed interacting with customers and getting to know who was buying from me, especially here where there are tourists from all over the world.”

She’d always noticed the wooden building next to Hills & Hollows Market in Boulder that has, in the past, been used for office space, and thought it would be a great location for a storefront. When the space became available this winter, she jumped on it. “It was spur of the moment,” she said, “I committed without knowing exactly what I would do, but I knew it would work out.”

The community showed up to help make it work.

“A lot of people donated items, like the rug and the shelves. I couldn’t have filled the space without the things they brought.”

For shoppers, Cache Canning and Crafts is located at 842 UT-12 in Boulder, Utah and is open Thursdays - Sundays from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. And if you’re a vendor looking for a place to sell your locally made items, there is still space for more. “There’s a second room that I’ll open once I have more to sell,” she said. Her hope is to make it a gallery. “It’s a small space, but we’ll fit all that we can!” she said.

ceremony, led by Julia Sati of Two Arrows Zen. Sati spoke about the importance of family and reflected upon the different messages engraved on plaques beneath the sponsored trees.

If you would like to sponsor a tree, you can email the Teasdale Park Committee at teasdalepark@gmail. com.

Gary Pankow also said a few words about the Utah Outdoor Recreation Grant that was applied for over the winter and awarded to the Teasdale Community Park earlier this month. The grant will help fund a paved ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) walking path

with historical and cultural interpretive signs, in addition to a solar kiosk obelisk. Also, you can now visit teasdalecommunitypark.org for updates on upcoming events, projects or to support the park with your donations.

Teasdale is a unique, multi-generational community with a strong spirit of cooperation, camaraderie and pride. The Teasdale Park Committee, consisting of Gary Pankow, Barb Walkush, KaLene Albrecht, Nancy Saign, Lowell Saign, and Derek Daley, thanks everyone for their volunteer efforts and donations.

Published in The Wayne and Garfield County Insider on MAY 25 and JUNE 1, 2023 NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING WAYNE COUNTY MONDAY, JUNE 12, 2023, AT 10:00 AM WAYNE COUNTY COURTHOUSE COMMISSION CHAMBERS Notice is hereby given that the Wayne County Commission will hold a Public Hearing to discuss Community Impact Board Application as follows: Wayne County is currently seeking to obtain permanent easements on its Class D roads, as well as a small number of Class B roads, across Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA) property.

Of the approximately 104 miles of Class D roads across SITLA property, 8 miles will be acknowledged by SITLA without compensation. Those 8 miles of roads were established before SITLA acquired the underlying properties and are considered valid, existing rights. The remaining 96 miles of roads were established after SITLA acquired the underlying properties, which necessitates compensation to SITLA for corresponding permanent easements SITLA has agreed to work with the County to execute easements on these outstanding roads. SITLA will prepare a perpetual easement agreement for execution by both parties and recordation in the County. The legal descriptions of the roads will be prepared by a Professional Land Surveyor chosen by the County. The required compensation is the cost of the permanent easement per SITLA’s established easement price schedule.

Wayne County intends this application to align with similar road easement applications.
