Lake Powell Fishing Report LAKE POWELL - The lake is still busy, but not quite as overwhelming as it was at the end of June. On my weekly fishing trip, we got out early and found a few slurps with very small stripers chasing tiny shad. Casting to the slurps only caused the small stripers to dive into deeper water. Since that was not working, we tried trolling shallow running rattletraps. We got the first hit where the slurping stripers had riffled the surface and caught the first striper. It was a nice 2.5-pound adult striper. We trolled more and caught a couple of tiny smallmouth bass, but that was it. No more stripers. We then ventured uplake trolling in Padre Bay, West Canyon, Dove Canyon and the main channel with no takers. Next, we tried Last Chance by trolling, casting and spooning in a few of the canyons near the back. After an hour of trolling, we caught a smallmouth bass and a 12” walleye. In summary—fishing is still slow. The stomachs of the Fishing Report Cont'd on page 4

Five Aquatic Species You May Not Know Live in Utah
CourTesy uTah dIvIsIon of WIldlIfe resourCes
Great Basin Spadefoot Toad. SALT LAKE CITY Utah is home to a lot of unique wildlife species, many of which you may have seen while out hiking or camping. Last year, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources highlighted five mammals and birds that Utahns may not have realized call the Beehive State home. Here are five aquatic species that you may not know also live in Utah. Spadefoot frogs If you happen to be in one of Utah’s desert areas during a rainstorm, then you may get lucky enough to see one of Utah’s most rarely encountered amphibians: spadefoot frogs (also often called spadefoot toads). These are small frogs that have a round, squat body and are often confused for toads. However, they have relatively smooth skin that is less like a toad and more similar to a frog. There are three species of spadefoots known to live in Utah: the plains spadefoot,

the Mexican Spadefoot and the Great Basin spadefoot. Both the Plains spadefoot and the Mexican spadefoot are considered Species of Greatest Conservation Need in Utah. However, this is largely due to the challenge of observing these species, due to the fact that they spend most of their lives underground, only coming out to eat or breed during rain events. The plains spadefoot is probably the least well-known of this species in Utah and is only known to be found in the extreme southeastern portion of the state in arid grasslands. It is most commonly observed crossing roads during rare rain events in these areas and in temporary pools and puddles that form after heavy rainfall. The Mexican spadefoot is also not commonly seen and has primarily been documented in the extreme southeastern portion of Utah. Utah is the northern limit for the range of this species, which Aquatic Species Cont'd on page 3

It’s Not Too Late to Take the 2020 Census SALT LAKE CITY - It’s not too late for Utahns to be counted by taking the 2020 Census. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, response deadlines have been extended. Prior to the outbreak, all selfresponses were due by July, but in order to provide more opportunities to respond in these unprecedented times, the deadline has been extended to October 31. Utah’s current response rate is at 66.1%, nearly matching the state’s 2010 rate of 68.6%. However, many areas continue to have concerningly low responses, particularly in rural counties and multicultural communities. Visit https://2020census.gov/ en/response-rates.html for a breakdown of city and county response rates. Complete Count Committee members and partners across the state continue to work together through creative means during the pandemic in order to reach hardto-count communities where events and other plans have been canceled. The critical importance of an accurate count has been highlighted by COVID-19 and Utah’s earthquake as public safety uses census data to guide decisions about service areas, fire stations and hospitals. The outcome of the census can also determine political representation down to the local level, including school boards and city councils. Infrastructure decisions like road repairs and public transit development rely on Census

You Can Support Your Country or You Can Support Trump, but Not Both
Although, we lucky ones live in a beautiful and peaceful area, the discontent in many parts of the country does not go unnoticed here. What the country needs is "empathetic and moral leadership, but unfortunately, we have Donald Trump." (quoted from Steve Colbert because I couldn't think of any better way to say this) Many of us despise Trump "...because he is...a corrupting force that is undermining America's moral leadership around the world and sowing hatred and fear among his own citizens...And during this COVID crisis, the president has totally abdicated his responsibility of leading the people to understand the need to do the right thing for
themselves and each other. And yet, the large majority of Americans have done the right thing anyway. And my hope is that the American people will do the same thing now, because ultimately, they have to. Rather than seeking to calm the national unrest caused by police brutality and acts of unhinged white supremacy, he throws fuel on the flames by praising racists and advocating stronger military and police retaliation to squelch peaceful demonstrations. “It’s time to ask ourselves,...what kind of nation do we want to live in? That answer requires moral leadership." I think most people, whether liberal or conserva-
tive, would agree with that and so, in our little corner of the world, we must live according to the kind of world we want to live in, not the divided, paranoid and hate-filled world of Mr. Trump. So to paraphrase Leonard Pitts, in the end, it doesn't matter much whether he is a moral monster or an utter ignoramus. Or both. What he undeniably is is a man who has spent a lifetime oozing his way out of accountability. From his bone spurs to his broken marriages to his bankrupt casinos to his fraudulent university to his crooked charity to his failed meat company to his unpaid bills to the manifold debacles of his presidency, when has Trump ever had to stand up and take responsibility? The
answer is: Never. And now we have this latest episode where Trump first denies ever being briefed about the Russians bribing Taliban troops to kill American soldiers, then he claims it wasn't credible anyway, then he calls it a hoax and fake news—his denials and name-calling escalating as the evidence of this incident and his knowledge of it continue to mount—So, one can only wonder if this may finally be a bridge too far for his supporters? One hopes they finally understand the bottom line here. You can support your country or you can support Trump, but not both. Gwendolyn Zeta, Escalante
In 2009, a friend and I were hiking along East Fork Boulder Creek and came across hundreds of dead Brook Trout floating in the creek. Upon calling the Department of Natural Resources, I learned that the water was poisoned with the piscicide Rotenone. The purpose of this “treatment” was to sterilize the creek in order to clear the water of the
unwanted fish species and to then reintroduce the Colorado River Cutthroat Trout, and that DNR intended to repeat this poisoning protocol for two more years. It only takes actually seeing the results of this practice to recognize that poisoning water for any reason is insane. Yet despite Boulder Town successfully preventing the future poisoning of East Fork
Boulder Creek, the ubiquitous practice of using Rotenone and other chemicals continues as standard fish management in lakes and creeks all over Boulder Mountain and the entire United States. As stated in The Insider article on June 25, 2020, Blue Lake was recently poisoned by DNR and USFS to meet the objective to “improve the quality and uniqueness of
Boulder, Mountain Lakes”. Don’t buy the PR. Research links Rotenone to Parkinson’s disease in humans and causes a detrimental cascading effect in the ecology. Go to: www.utwaterguardians.org for more information and to take a stand for the wild waters on Boulder Mountain. Constance Lynn, Boulder
Don’t Believe the PR from DNR
Public Comment Should be Allowed During Garfield Commission Meetings The Garfield County Commissioners have continued to object to a public comment period during the bimonthly Commissioner meetings, especially Commissioner Pollock. While Commissioner Pollock always welcomes and voices appreciation when residents attend meetings, the public are only allowed to speak if they have formally filled out the required paperwork in advance of the meeting. One must be listed as an “agenda item” in order to comment, ask questions or otherwise speak at the meeting. Yet, a year ago Commissioner Pollock presented a statement to the Committee on Natural Resources, a Congressional committee of the United States House of Representatives, at the “Forgotten Voices” oversight hearing. Commissioner Pollock passionately proclaimed “More
light, more public involvement, more scrutiny, and greater input from the American public and its duly elected officials has been realized by President Trump’s actions (regarding the GSENM) than was ever desired or considered by President Clinton in 1996.” As a consequence of those comments, my hope is that our Commissioners will emulate the lauded actions of President Trump by giving the public a voice here. As others have done, I request that a “public comments” item be added to the County Commissioner meeting agenda. I propose that a few minutes be set aside to allow county residents, in a spontaneous manner, to respectfully comment, to ask questions, voice their views and/or concerns, during regular Garfield County Commissioner meetings.

volunteers, and partners continues to be paramount. At Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, our operational approach is to examine each facility function and service provided to ensure those operations comply with current public health guidance, and will be regularly monitored. We continue to work closely
with the NPS Office of Public Health using CDC guidance to ensure public and workspaces are safe and clean for visitors, employees, partners, and volunteers. While these areas are accessible for visitors to enjoy, a return to full operations will continue to be phased and services may be limited. When recreating, the public should follow local area health orders, practice Leave No Trace
principles, avoid crowding and avoid high-risk outdoor activities. The CDC has offered guidance to help people recreating in parks and open spaces prevent the spread of infectious diseases. We will continue to monitor all park functions to ensure that visitors adhere to CDC guidance for mitigating risks associated with the transmission of COVID-19 and take any addi-
tional steps necessary to protect public health. Details and updates on park operations will continue to be posted on our website https://www.nps.gov/glca/ planyourvisit/conditions.htm and social media channels.

occurs southward from Utah deep into central Mexico, hence its name. The plains spadefoot looks very similar to the Mexican spadefoot; the biggest difference is that the plains spadefoot has a raised bump between its eyes on the top of its head. The Great Basin spadefoot is by far the most common spadefoot in Utah, with hundreds of documented observations across central, western and southwestern Utah. Great Basin spadefoots can be found in a variety of habitats like sagebrush, juniper woodlands and even at relatively high elevations. Spadefoots will eat almost any insect, but termites are an important part of their diet. They can consume more than 50% of their body weight in a single night of feeding, and can eat enough in one evening to hold them over for more than a year while they wait underground for the rains to come again. All three of these species can wait years beneath the ground before emerging during a rainstorm to breed. They are known as “explosive breeders” because all the individuals in a local population will emerge on the same night to breed. It is possible to see and hear hundreds of spadefoots calling from a desert pool on one night, and then they will seemingly have vanished the next night. “Along with being rarely seen, spadefoot frogs also have a few unique features,” DWR Native Aquatics Coordinator Drew Dittmer said. “Plains and Mexican spadefoots have been documented to have skin secretions that irritate humans. At the very least, they can make you sneeze, at the worst, they can irritate any wounds or scratches that you may have on your skin. For most people, it is probably best not to touch them if you happen to see one, but it is OK to get really close for a good picture to document the sighting. Some researchers have documented that Great Basin spadefoots smell like peanuts.” If you happen to be in southeastern Utah when it's raining, please keep an eye out for these species and snap a picture if you do see one. Then you can upload these photos to iNaturalist, an app that logs the locations and species identification information of a variety of wildlife species, including amphib-
ians. The DWR monitors the reptile and amphibian species observations that are added to iNaturalist, and the information is used to inform management and conservation efforts for the species. Western pearlshell The Western pearlshell is a native freshwater mussel species that was historically found in only a few rivers and streams in northern Utah, but today, these mussels are only found in one stream in Summit County. Western pearlshells can be found in many western states, but their numbers have been declining in recent decades. They eat a diet of tiny plants (phytoplankton) and animals (zooplankton) that they filter from the water. Western pearlshells are a long-lived species and have been known to live for 60-70 years! “One interesting fact is that most freshwater mussels require a host fish to complete their life cycle,” DWR Native Aquatics Biologist Kate Holcomb said. “Larval mussels are released from the female mussel’s gills, and they must attach to the gills of a specific host fish in order to transform into a juvenile mussel. Once the transformation is complete, the juvenile mussels fall off the fish and begin their life burrowed among the rocks in the river. Western pearlshells typically use several species of trout and Chinook salmon as their hosts.” Springsnails Springsnails are native snails found in springs—hence the name—located along the Wasatch Front and in the western part of Utah. There are 18 species of springsnails in Utah, and they are believed to have a lifespan of about one year. They eat algae and other bacteria and microbe organisms that attach to rocks and plants in the springs. “Many of Utah’s springsnail species are only found in one spring and nowhere else in the world,” Holcomb said. “They can be hard to find because they tend to be very tiny—less than 5 millimeters in size as adults.” Mountain whitefish
As their name indicates, this native fish species can be found in mountain streams throughout Utah. It is technically in the same family as trout, and as such, can grow to similar sizes as trout, reaching roughly 18-20 inches in length. They primarily eat insects and can live up to 17 years, with an average life span of 6-8 years. “These fish can be ten times more abundant than trout, yet many people don't know they are there and don't fish for them,” DWR Sportfish Coordinator Randy Oplinger said. “They are particularly active in the winter, so they can be a great species to fly fish for during the winter months.” Mottled sculpin This native fish species is most notable because of its unique appearance. It has large, flaring frontal fins close to its head that give it the appearance of having a mane. Like the mountain whitefish, it can also be found in mountain streams throughout the state. Historically, there were three other native species of sculpin in Utah: Bear Lake sculpin, Paiute sculpin (which look very similar to mottled sculpin) and Utah Lake sculpin. The Utah Lake sculpin is now extinct. “Mottled sculpin are also extremely abundant, but many Utahns don’t know they are in our state because they are quite small—usually just a few inches long—and they camouflage well so they can be hard to find. They change color to match their surroundings in order to hide from predators,” Oplinger said. These fish typically have a life span of six years and primarily eat insects. —Utah Division of Wildlife Resources

Boeing Dreamlifter Transports 500,000 Protective Face Masks for Utah Students and Teachers
July 9, 2020
Utah Tenants Behind on Rent Could Soon Face Evictions
Atlas Air, H.M. Cole, Cotopaxi, Flexport and UPS partner to deliver face masks to school districts with the greatest need SALT LAKE CITY Boeing [NYSE: BA] completed its 12th COVID-19 transport mission, using a Boeing Dreamlifter to bring personal protective equipment (PPE) to the United States. Working in partnership with the state of Utah, Atlas Air Worldwide, H.M. Cole, Cotopaxi, Flexport and UPS, the company transported 500,000 protective face masks bound for students and teachers across Utah returning to classrooms this fall. As part of its “A Mask for Every Utahn” initiative, the state of Utah will distribute the face masks free of charge to school districts across the state with the greatest need. “As students return to school this fall, it will be important that they have masks available,” said Utah Gov. Gary R. Herbert. “We thank Boeing and these partners for everything they’ve done to support our ‘A Mask for Every Utahn’ initiative and make it possible for our students to have these masks and help keep Utahns safe.” As part of this mission, H.M. Cole, a custom clothing store, donated 250,000 masks, with 100,000 of those masks sized for children. Cotopaxi, an outdoor gear brand based in Salt Lake City, donated an additional 250,000 masks and converted one of its jacket manufacturers for temporary face mask production. Boeing donated the cost of the mission transport into Utah, with Atlas Air operating the flight on behalf of Boeing. Flexport and UPS helped coordinate customs assistance for the PPE shipment. “As a Benefit Corporation, we’re believers that businesses have a duty to utilize their influence and resources to impact the world positively,” said Davis Smith, Cotopaxi Founder & CEO. “We are proud to partner with the state of Utah and Boeing to help our hometown community as we fight this pandemic. Face masks are one of the key
tools the public has to slow the spread of the coronavirus, and we’re thrilled that our efforts can help teachers and students safely get back in the classroom.” Like previous airlift missions facilitated by Boeing, the Dreamlifter—a converted Boeing 747-400 Large Cargo Freighter—flew the mission with the face masks stored in the lower lobe of the airplane. Following the July 1, 2020, delivery in Salt Lake City, the Dreamlifter will return to its home base in North Charleston, South Carolina, for a 787 components delivery in support of the global aerospace supply chain. “Boeing is proud to continue to use our resources to help stop the spread of COVID-19,” said David Calhoun, Boeing president and CEO. “Today’s [July 1, 2020] delivery, our 12th COVID-19 response airlift mission, expands our support of essential workers to include teachers and their students across the state of Utah, so they have the protective tools they need to safely and confidently return to their classrooms.” To date, Boeing has helped transport more than four million PPE units—including the in-house production of more than 39,000 3D-printed face shields—to frontline health care professionals and communities in need. —Utah Governor's Office of Economic Development

Groups advocating on behalf of Utah tenants say those who've fallen behind on their rent due to the COVID-19 crisis could soon run out of options. SALT LAKE CITY Groups working for affordable housing in Utah say the next two weeks could be "crunch time" for people trying to catch up on their unpaid rent. Thousands of Utahns either lost their jobs or had their hours cut—part of the staggering economic impact of the COVID-19 crisis. Until now, most have been able to stay in their homes, thanks to an eviction moratorium and assistance programs put in place by the state. But Tara Rollins, director of the Utah Housing Coalition, says tenants could soon run out of options. "The first wave is going to be in the next couple of weeks," says Rollins. "And then the next wave will be when the other moratoriums are lifted, as well as when we no longer will be receiving unemployment and that extra $600." The financial website "Self" finds that, statewide, a Utah household has to work 46 hours a week to afford the average monthly rent of just over $1,000 for a two-bedroom apartment. The Salt Lake City metro average rent is $1,176 dollars a month. The national average is $1,200. Rollins says Utah lawmakers recently moved the
starting date for a rental assistance program to July 1st that could help some renters and homeowners, but it could take days or weeks to get the program started. In the meantime, she says, the number of novel coronavirus cases is rising and that could stall Utah's economic recovery. "Our numbers are going up," says Rollins. "So, we're kind of holding our breath to see if they're going to shut things down again. I know they don't want to do that, but people aren't wearing their masks." Rollins says her group has worked with the Utah Legislature to use state and federal money to help people stay in their homes as long as possible. "Our legislators are watching, they're hearing, they're listening on this," says Rollins. "And housing is very important to making sure our economy gets going again." She says the Utah Housing Coalition has teamed up with Utah Community Action to offer an online version of "The Tenant Toolkit," which covers renters' rights and other information. She says more resources are available through the Utah 211 help line. —Mark Richardson, Utah News Connection

Wills, Trusts, and More
The Insider
Can I Write My Own Will? A holographic will is a will that is written entirely in your own handwriting. No witnesses are required, and no portion of the will may be typed. If you type some or all of the words, or you incorporate other markings or other documents into the text, you could inadvertently invalidate the will. The idea behind holographic wills is that since the entire document is in a person's handwriting, there is no need for witnesses to sign it to establish its validity. Holographic wills don't need to be notarized either, but they do need to be signed. Most lawyers would tell you it's a bad idea to write your own will because you can easily create ambiguities and other defects that can lead to litigation following your death. This is especially true in second marriage situations when one or both spouses have children from prior marriages or relationships. If you decide to write your own will, you should be sure to say in the introductory sentence that it is your will, and that you are revoking all prior wills. If you don't revoke all prior wills, your handwritten will, and any other wills that have not been revoked, will be looked at together to determine who inherits your estate. As you may expect,
by Jeffery J. MCkenna problems arise when the various documents conflict. Be sure to identify each bequest clearly and to give away all of your property. A frequent problem with handwritten wills is that they list some accounts and properties, but then leave out others. Property that you don't mention in your will passes to your heirs as determined by the courts. Your heirs may not be the same persons named in your will, and may not be the ones you would have chosen to receive the assets. Also, going to court and figuring out who your heirs are can be an expensive and time-consuming matter. In addition, courts will require two witnesses who are familiar with your handwriting to testify that the will was, in fact, written by you. It's often the case that handwritten wills don't name a personal representative. Failure to name a personal representative could result in an administration of your estate that is fully court-supervised, expensive, and lengthy. Another important provision that is often left out of a holographic will is a waiver of bond. When you don't request a waiver, the judge can require that your personal representative post a bond. Sometimes, it's not possible to even get a bond, and if your personal

representative can get one, it is generally expensive. There are a number of other provisions that should be included in wills that the average person would almost certainly leave out of a holographic will. Handwritten wills are valid if they are properly drafted. However, they are almost always more difficult to probate than typed wills.

Celebrating Your Golden Anniversary!
Hal and Roma (Talbot) Wilcock
of Panguitch are celebrating their Golden Anniversary on July 10, 2020. Their love story started 50 years ago as a blind date after Hal returned from a mission in England. They were engaged on Christmas and were married in the St. George temple on a weekend pass while Hal was stationed in with the military at Fort Sam in Houston, Texas. From there, employment took them to Powell, Wyoming, Price, Utah, Cedar City and now back to Panguitch and living in the home where Roma was raised. Each move has contributed to a lifetime of memories and unforgettable friends. Hal and Roma are blessed to have three children Jim, Jeremy and Janalee along with eight wonderful grandchildren. Congratulations mom and dad!! We love you!

FYI PanguItch
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com July was named to honor Roman dictator Julius Caesar (100 BC – 44 BC). Caesar, along with the help of Sosigenes, developed the Julian calendar, the precursor to the Gregorian calendar that we use today. What is the longest word in the English language? (Answer will be at end of this newsletter) On July 4th, we celebrated our independence as a nation. The Declaration of Independence is America’s revolutionary Charter of Freedom and the document upon which the nation’s founding principles were established. An excerpt from the Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to affect their Safety and Happiness." It took until summertime to finally rain, and boy, did it come down on last Friday evening. Pat and I had just finished putting up the flags at Zions Bank for the Big Fish Egg Hunt when it started to come down. We went to dinner, and you could see the rain coming down through the window. It wasn't until we went outside that we saw how much had fallen. Of course, I had left my window down on my truck, and my seat was wet. But, oh, how good the rain felt. July is supposed to be one of the driest months of the year. It would have been great if it was the start of the monsoon season, but, no! July 4th this year was more like it should be. Usually, it is the Lion's Club breakfast, the kid's parade and then the fireworks. Not this year! The kid’s parade was the biggest we have seen in a long time. Sheriff Perkins and his deputies led the kids on their bikes. How cute were the littlest ones (maybe two or three years old) riding bikes without pedals? Sheriff Perkins and his deputies got a round of justified applause. I think that most of us feel very safe in our town with him in charge. They were followed by a large number of horse riders. Speaking of horse riders, they are holding a two day concert, fundraiser down at the Triple C Arena to raise funds for the youth riding club this weekend. Come on out to show your support. They were followed by the Mathew's Car Club. Nick hand builds these cars, and I am sure that he can build one for you. Instead of sitting around
all day, like most on the 4th of July, Pat finally got to put on the Easter Egg Hunt, aka the Panguitch Big Fish Egg Hunt. With a lot of help from the youth and their parents, everything was set up by the 1 o’clock starting time. It takes a long time to put on this event, and the kids really make short work of the candy and eggs with the prizes in them. It was a really fun event, and it was great to see some of those little kid come up to claim their prizes. The giant bears were twice their size, and boy, did their eyes light up with their winnings. Hopefully, every kid received a prize, even if they did not win one. If your kid missed out on a prize, please stop by the house. We do have a few more of the bunnies left. Many thanks to all of the parents that helped clean up all of the decorations. At 2 o’clock, there was the kid races, and Steven Lee, who put on the event, said that there were a whole lot of kids that were there running. I think that a lot of people, like Pat and I, were wore out and went home for a nap. That evening, there was a rodeo at the Triple C Arena, and that led up to the grand finale and the best fireworks show anywhere. Fire Chief Dave Dodds always handles this show, and it has always gone on without anyone getting hurt. A lot of work goes into setting up the launching tubes and taking them down. But nowhere in southern Utah is there such a great show of beauty. Each year, there are some new displays, and the grand finale was just super. Pat, Shawn and I just sat out on our patio. We had a clear view of the show and spent time deciding which explosion was our favorite. All in all, it was a great day. Even the weather was great. It was warm, with not a lot of wind. Watching the future weather report, the wind is going to come back. Because Nevada has been shut
down, a lot of them came up here for the Fourth of July. Many of our motels were filled. Randy at the Hitch-nPost RV Park put in a bunch of new hookups, and most of them looked full. I think this is the year of the RVs. I am sad to report that the fiddlers won’t be here this year. Four of their members have contracted the virus, and they don’t want to take a chance of more of them contracting the disease. There is some kind of motorcycle rally this weekend, but I don’t have any information about it. The next big event will be the 24th celebration. It is on a Friday, and there should be big crowds here for the three-day holiday. Make plans for your floats, and tune up your old cars for a fun parade. I have nothing but praise for the company that is putting down our new road north of town. This week, they put down ten miles of three inches of asphalt on the west side of the road. This job was supposed to last until October, but, instead, it will be completed in another two weeks. The flagman has been really kind to Pat and I with our Meals on Wheels deliveries. We have six stops north of town. Well, the year is half over, and, so far, it is a year one wants to forget. The Coronavirus hit the country in January and has grown to epidemic portions. The Federal Government did nothing to quell the virus and left it up to each state to decide what to do. Because of lack of funds due to 40 million people out of work, many states have opened up the job market. The daily cases from June 1 has risen from 20,000 to four days of over 50,000. Florida, one of the first states to reopen, has had a week of over 10,000 cases. The governor refuses to do anything and is leaving it up to the counties to take charge, and many are closing their beaches. Texas, another state hit hard, is clos-
ing down their bars. Most of their hospitals and intensive care rooms are full, and they are converting other rooms to handle the situation. Arizona hospitals are 94% full of patients with the virus. I have heard that a group from Ruby’s went down to Phoenix to a wedding, and 14 of them tested positive and have to be quarantined. Many of the cities are requiring their people to wear masks in enclosed areas. Of course, the president went on the campaign trail to Mt. Rushmore to preach to his base. Instead of uniting the country on this great holiday, he bad-mouthed every one of the peaceful demonstrators, calling them names that I haven’t heard since the McCarthy age during the 50s. We do have an election in our state for governor, and it boils down to two candidates. Right now, Cox is leading Huntsman by 2%. I really like Huntsman. When I was on the school board, he gave the teachers a 23% raise. That raised the teachers from dead last in the country to where they were competitive with the surrounding states. Either one will do a good job. Lamont G. Olsen’s book five of the Space Train Series is finally out in print. He is now working on the sixth and last book of the series. I have read all five books, and I can’t seem to put them down. They are exciting from start to finish. Each one of his books ends with a situation that makes it so you can’t wait until the next copy comes out. Lamont has some imagination.You do have to start with his first book, though, to know what is going on. I think you can get them on Amazon. (Answer to the question at the beginning of the article) Smiles, because there is a mile between the first and last letters. Mack O.
UTAH - If you’ve been spending a lot of time indoors lately, you may be ready to get outside for some fresh air. Here’s how to make your backyard the center of family fun. • Set up an outdoor theater: There’s no need to spend the day indoors, even if your family wants to binge watch favorite shows.
Whether you’re viewing a movie, video chatting with friends or looking at a slideshow of old family photos, a portable projector can quickly transform the backyard into a home theater. Those from Casio are particularly versatile, offering speedy set-up and the ability to transition from daytime to nighttime view-
ing. • Be sure to get comfy: Your home theater will get more use if it offers the same amenities as the living room. Luckily, these days, it’s easy to find weatherresistant furniture as comfortable as your favorite couch. • Make music: Host a socially distanced block party with your neighbors and offer to provide the music. All you need is a portable keyboard to set the tone. Not only do Casio keyboards have the ability to hook up to a laptop or tablet so you can play any song from your library, if you put the keyboard on Dance Music Mode, you can add beats, sounds or filters to anything you want. • Get ready, get set, go: Keep everyone busy and active with a decathlon. Feature all-age friendly events like a potato sack race, Frisbee toss, long jump and more. Whether you keep score or play just for the fun of the game, you can make a day of it—and add a little gravitas—by including opening and closing ceremonies. With the right tools and ideas, the backyard can become your go-to destination for relaxation, entertainment, competition and fun. —StatePoint Media
