Celebrate Pioneer Day at the Bryce Canyon Jackpot Rodeo
Come Celebrate Pioneer Day Weekend in Torrey on July 22
BRYCE CANYON CITYRuby’s Inn invites visitors to take part in a western tradition this Pioneer Day at the annual Bryce Canyon Country Rodeo series. On July 24, participants from all over the nation will compete in one of the four jackpot rodeos held throughout the summer, and one of the largest of the year. The rodeo series operates four nights a week at Ruby’s Inn during the summer months—Wednesday through Saturday— at 7:00 p.m. until August 19. Ruby’s Inn—a historic hotel located just out-
side Bryce Canyon National Park—has hosted the event since the 1980s. “Many local up-andcomers and travelling cowboys compete in the rodeo every summer,” said Brady Syrett, manager of the Ruby’s Inn Bryce Canyon Rodeo. “The rodeo is also an exciting place for young riders to hone their riding skills and get experience.” Participants can try their luck at riding in a real western rodeo, bull riding for the adults and steer and sheep riding for children. There is
no entry fee for participants in the regular summer series. Entry fees for the jackpot rodeo range from $5-$50. All the money placed into a jackpot goes to the top finishers in each event. In addition to the chance at prize money, the jackpot helps add pressure and competition to an already great rodeo. “We put on a show for the tourists that come in, we also help the cowboys improve their skills,” Syrett said. “We Jackpot Rodeo Cont'd on page 2

Boulder Town Park: Becoming Art
Boulder's multi-colored city park space reflects the contributions of many community members. BOULDER - If you have driven through Boulder recently, you probably have noticed changes with the town park pavilion as it has morphed from a large gray structure to a wild green mosaic. If you happened by around the 4th of July, there were flags flying from the south end of the pavilion for a first unveiling. The town park is becoming a beautiful collection of the work of several of Boulder’s artists. The “Paint the
Pavilion” project was managed by the Boulder Arts Council and funded by Boulder Town, a Utah Arts and Museums Random Acts Grant and donations by several Boulder residents. This provided funding to commission local graffiti artist, Sean Treves, to create this interesting and unusual hub in the center of the park. Todd Campbell completed the rock flowerbeds around the pavilion and then directed several residents in the creation of the beautiful rock wall lining the entrance

to the park. While working on the wall, Todd had the idea of flags that would be flown during community events. He provided funding to the Boulder Arts Council to have local artist, Amy Woodbury, turn five of her paintings into large flags. Loch Wade built flag poles to hang the flags. If you missed the flags, they will be on display at the Boulder Community Gallery from July 15th to September 1st. In addition to these artistic additions to the park, Jimmy Catmull made the rock park sign and Dave Hensel built the beautiful wood bridge. The tree committee has planted dozens of trees

and are currently working on a community heritage orchard. The park committee has built and graveled trails from the pavilion to the businesses on the south end of the park, providing safe travels for those wanting to walk from one end of town center to the other. The Boulder Town Park is becoming a work of art and a place inviting residents and visitors to the town to enjoy the beautiful space. Who knows what will come next in Boulder’s artsy park but it will definitely be a reflection of the uniqueness of Boulder artists and residents. —Cheryl Cox, Boulder Arts Council

SALT LAKE CITY - Despite repeated efforts to spread the word, fire managers are continuing to observe activities occurring which are prohibited by active fire restrictions. Land management agencies implement fire restrictions in the interest of public safety and natural resource protection. By engaging in prohibited activities, recreationists are putting these values at risk from wildfire. These risky behaviors have proven to be costly, as they have ignited additional wildfires across the state in recent weeks. With continued hot and dry conditions, fire managers are urging residents and visitors to use sound judgement when outdoors. It is important to be prepared before heading out by knowing the restrictions in the area, inspecting vehicles, and being equipped with a shovel and adequate water in
the event a fire starts. Of significant mention are campfires, debris burning, target shooting, fireworks, and vehicle malfunctions. Some of these activities are either prohibited or restricted on public lands. Land managers are stressing the fact that exploding targets and fireworks, along with other incendiary devices and tracer ammunition are never permitted for use on public lands. Campfires and debris burns are often limited in the summer months due to the high risk of escape. Additionally, vehicle malfunctions become more prevalent during hot summer months, many of which can lead to a wildfire. Visit www.utahfireinfo. gov for more information on current fire restrictions, incident information, and prevention tips. —Wildland Fire Prevention & Education Team
SALT LAKE CITY - The American public will have 30 days to comment on the Trump administration's plan to repeal and replace the 2015 Clean Water Rule, once it's published in the federal register. Jan Goldman-Carter, wetlands and water resources director for the National Wildlife Federation, said the move would remove pollution limits from streams and wetlands that supply a third of the nation's drinking water and which also are home to countless fish and wildlife species. "The American public has
long thought - since the 1972 act - that their water is protected, their wetlands are protected, their streams are protected from pollution," she said. "None of us can really take that for granted anymore." The Clean Water Rule restored protections under the Clean Water Act for headwaters, streams and wetland habitat that had been left uncertain because of convoluted U.S. Supreme Court rulings.

“The House that Cate Built” with a little help from my friends…
Dear Editor: First and foremost, this is a public ’Thank You’ to all of the folks who helped me realize my dream! It’s also the story of how a determined, middle aged woman embarked on a journey to build her ‘dream’ home in the remote, pioneer community of Escalante, Utah, acting as the General Contractor with the help, and sometimes the hindrance, of many. That was over 8 years ago… It’s a modest house, just a little over 1600 square feet, in what I like to call a ‘Southwest, Northern New Mexico Territorial, Prairie Farm House’ style! I had purchased the land nearly 15 years ago, a beautiful, 2-acre parcel with ancient Apricot, Apple, and Black Locust trees on the edge of city limits, along the Escalante River with the most spectacular views of the Canyon and surrounding cliffs. For years it was my escape from the hustle and bustle of my business, a B&B in town. Most evenings I would walk over to feed my critters and ponder the ‘Master Plan’. During that time I worked on the infrastructure, landscaping, fencing and donkey barn… as I had the cash. One day, I received a serious offer to buy the B&B and knew I had to move quickly and start building the house. A local contractor friend was desperate for work during that time, as the real estate and construction market had just tanked and he was willing to take on my project as he had time and I had money. He erected the basic structure in just 10 days. Then it all came to a screeching halt when the B&B deal fell through. Construction stopped and wouldn’t begin again for another 5 years until the B&B finally sold. It’s not been an easy road to build a house in an area with limited contractors and services. It’s proven to be a monumental task and countless hours of my own blood, sweat, and tears…a lot of tears! I’ve had my hand in nearly every aspect of the project from designing and drafting the plans, obtaining the approvals and permits, and enlisting all the subcontractors, tradesmen, craftsmen, and handymen…to working with them side-by-side. I’ve relied on friends and called in favors, cajoling and bribing at times to get the job done! It certainly ‘took a Village’, or in my case, several villages and counties throughout Southern Utah from Loa to Richfield, Ivins to Apple Valley, and Panguitch to Cedar City. I need to thank my neighbors for their tolerance all these years; they’ve put up with all the excavating, drilling, hammering, traffic, dust, loud music, and probably some cussing…mostly without complaint…and some have even pitched a hand to help! There have been over 50 men…and one woman who have contributed their knowledge, skills, equipment, materials, and time to finish this house. Some don’t want the publicity and the rest know who you are and how much I appreciate your friendship and hard work! While it’s not feasible to list all the folks who have helped, there are some I must acknowledge. Special thanks to: Kerry Ence; Reed Munson and his great guys; the Escalante Home Center and Loa Builders team; Lenza Wilson Electric; Blaine, Darrell and Terry from Escalante City; Dave, from South Central Communications...and Doren before him, who is sorely missed by us all…Phil and Paul of Unlimited Plumbing; Cade and Chris at Croft Heating and Air; Merrill at Garkane Power; and Garfield Ready Mix. Last, but certainly not least - to Jared, the Building Inspector, who waited patiently through hits and misses for that final inspection last month and my ‘Certificate of Occupancy’. I thought I’d never see the light at the end of that tunnel!!! Let us all try to be good neighbors and help where we can, settle our differences and issues face-to-face instead of using social media to hurt and humiliate, regardless of race, religion or politics, or when and how someone came to live in our great, little community. There’s enough strife and hatred in the world around us without attacking our own… Cate Vining, Self-professed technophobic ‘Luddite’ of social media…and grateful ‘Outsider’ of 17 years, Escalante

Let's Work for Positive Change in Managing our Forests
Dear Editor: Cut it or Burn it? What do we want to do with our forest. Many see it one way, many another. In 1992 Panguitch City Council asked for a meeting with the Forest Service and Kaibab Sawmill and the City Council. The concern, the Bark Beetle. I will never forget Devon Owens walking into that meeting and saying to the Forest Service, ”We will save your forest for you and it won’t cost the government one dime, all we have to do is cut one small area before the 18th of June as that is the day the Bark Beetle flies to new trees to lay their young.” The offer of course was not accepted because that would not give the Forest Service time to do and Environmental Impact Study. We had good men working for Kaibab who wanted to solve the problem. We had good men working for the Forest Service who wanted to help us solve the problem. We only found regulatory stale mate. Twenty Five years later we have a mountain of dead and burned trees and Kaibab and the jobs they provided are gone. The Forest Service is still not allowed to do anything except try to put out a fire that did not have to be this bad. We need a serious look at government regulations that will not allow good men on the ground to make decisions to benefit the area they are paid to manage. Twenty Five years ago everyone said to develop tourism. We did! Now we see that it too is fragile and can go up in flames just like the trees. What if anything are we going to learn from this history lesson? Yes Panguitch, Panguitch Lake and Brian Head will pick up and go on. We have this beautiful area because we have taken care of it for over a hundred and fifty years. We have preserved our land while making a moderate living off the land and not abusing it. We do not want to change that. We need to work together with our elected officials, private business, and land managers to help make our communities in Garfield County economically sustainable. Let's not let this tragedy go to waste like our timber has, let's use this to work for positive change in management policies that will benefit all concerned. Elaine Baldwin, Panguitch
Applauding an Ethical Public Servant
Dear Editor: Although we were not always on the same side on legal issues, we never doubted LeEllen McCartney’s integrity. She conducted herself professionally and honestly. Her account in the Insider of the disdain showed to her by commissioners is troubling enough but the ethical questions she raises are even more so. According to her letter, Wayne County commissioners only want a lawyer who can bend the rules, not guide them through the rules. We applaud LeEllen for removing herself from an untenable position.

Pruitt has argued that rolling back the measure will provide certainty to farmers and other businesses by returning regulatory authority to states. Carter said western states rely on clean water to fuel their multi-billion-dollar outdoor recreation industries. She pointed to polls that show nearly 80 percent of hunters and anglers favor Clean Water Act protections. Dozens of craft brewers also have come out in support of the 2015 measure. Carter said a majority of the nation's stream miles and wetland acres are at stake. "All of those smaller streams are at significant risk, and then would literally be removed from Clean Water Act protections under the proposal that the administration is headed toward," she said. According to the Environment America Research and Policy Center, the Clean Water Rule, supported by more than 80 percent of small-business owners, was expected to generate more than $400 million annually in economic benefits.

Enjoy a Safe Summer at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area
Courtesy Glen CAnyon nAtIonAl reCreAtIon AreA
A scenic shot of a reflecting puddle in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. SOUTHERN UTAH - The staff of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and Rainbow Bridge National Monument want all visitors to have an enjoyable and safe visit this summer, and especially during this extended holiday weekend. According to William Shott, Superintendent of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and Rainbow Bridge National Monument, “We welcome everyone who visits these spectacular parks, which provide outstanding opportunities for adventure. Please practice safe boating and outdoor recreation in whatever form you enjoy, while respecting each other and preserving the resources for future generations.” Ranger-led programs are offered at several locations. The Carl Hayden Visitor Center has Junior Ranger Programs daily. Enjoy a guided hike at Horseshoe Bend daily (8:30 to 11:00 a.m.). The Hanging Garden Guided Hike is Monday through Thursday, (6:30 to 7:30 p.m.), and an Evening Program is offered at the Wahweap Campground Amphitheater every Friday and Saturday (8 to 9 p.m.) On July 4, U.S. Coast Guard and NPS will be available at the Halls Crossing Marina to offer courtesy vessel inspections for required and recommended safety equipment. Uplake, on July 1 and 2, interpretive rangers will be on-site at the Defiance House giving talks between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. (Defiance House is located three miles up the middle fork of Forgotten Canyon and is one of the best-preserved Ancestral Puebloan dwellings in the park.) On Sunday, July 2 (at 9 p.m.), an astronomy program will be provided at the
Escalante Interagency Visitor Center parking lot. On July 4 there will be fireworks in Bullfrog. All outdoor programs are weather permitting. “Weather permitting” also applies to people during these hot summer months. Extremely hot weather can cause sickness or even death. Follow safety guidelines to avoid dehydration and heat stress. Know and follow other guidelines for safety, including desert safety, lifejackets, and boating safety. Life threatening dangers to avoid include swimming at marinas, flash floods, cliff jumping and carbon monoxide. More information is available here: https://www. nps.gov/glca/planyourvisit/ safety.htm, The summer heat has also added to the need for current fire restrictions. Open fire of any kind is currently prohibited, except campfires and charcoal fires within agency approved fire pits and grills. Campfires are also permitted below the high water mark of the lake in areas devoid of vegetation. Smoking is prohibited, except in an enclosed vehicle or a developed recreation site, or while stopped in an area at least six feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable material down to mineral soil. Fireworks or other pyrotechnic devices are prohibited at all times on all federal public lands. Visitors to Glen Canyon use a variety of watercraft on Lake Powell, including houseboats, powerboats, personal watercraft (“jet skis”), kayaks and paddleboards. Because quagga mussels have been confirmed both above and below the dam, all boaters and fishermen are reminded to clean, drain, and dry their boats and
all equipment after contact with these waters. Utah and Arizona state laws require that boat owners decontaminate their vessels and conveyances prior to transport from infested waters. Specific information on state laws for Utah can be found at www.wildlife.utah. gov/mussels or for Arizona at www.azgfd.gov/ais . Those who enjoy nonmotorized boating will want to check out wakeless zones recently established in three side canyons on Lake Powell: Antelope, Labyrinth and Lost Eden Canyons. Maintaining wakeless speed throughout these narrow canyons increases enjoyment by kayakers, while preventing collisions, swamping or capsizing by other watercraft. For those camping within one quarter-mile of Lake Powell’s shoreline, “Lake Powell Pure” practices include possessing and utilizing a human sanitation device (portable toilet) that does not use plastic bags to contain the waste. Digging a cat hole is not allowed because the area could be covered with water later, resulting in your human waste floating in the lake. A portable toilet must be used and don't dump your tank in the lake. Other illegal activities include vandalism, graffiti, littering, careless operation of a vessel, and boating under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. Under the Powell Watch Program, if you see something, say something. Text reports of violations or concerns to 928-614-0820. (Do not call; text only. This is not an emergency number. In an emergency, call 911 or use Marine Band 16 to hail National Park Service.) —National Park Service

Wills, Trusts, and More
Using a Will or Trust – Which is better? The use of a revocable trust (sometimes referred to as a “living trust” or “family trust”) to plan one’s estate has become very popular. Despite the popularity of the revocable trust, revocable trusts are not without their potential problems. In trying to decide what to use for your estate plan, you should know some basic information about a trust. First, it is important to understand that there is no definitive answer as to whether a trust is necessary. Another estate planner explained that asking whether a revocable trust is good or bad is like asking whether a wrench is good or bad. It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. A trust is just an estate planing tool. Whether it is good or bad depends on your needs and desires. Although there are many factors to consider in determining whether a revocable trust is right for you, here are a few of the more significant factors: 1. Avoiding Probate. It is true that a properly funded trust avoids probate. If the goal of the client is to avoid probate, it is critical that the trust be properly funded. To
by Jeffery J. mCKennA "properly fund" a trust, title to all assets and beneficiary designations for insurance policies and retirement accounts must be reviewed. A properly funded trust avoids probate because the owner of the assets (generally termed the trustor, settlor, grantor or trustmaker in the trust document) conveys ownership from him or herself (in his or her individual capacity) to him or herself as trustee of his or her trust. Probate is avoided because for "probate purposes" the deceased person does not own assets but rather the trustee of the trust owns the assets. It is critical to understand that a revocable trust only avoids probate if the assets have been properly transferred to the trust. 2. Out of State Property. A revocable trust is especially useful if you own real estate in another state. Real estate in another state generally requires a probate proceeding in that state. If you live in one state but own real estate in another state, your beneficiaries may be required to commence multiple probate proceedings. This situation can be avoided through the use of a revocable trust. 3. Avoiding Court Ap-
pointed Conservatorship. A properly drafted trust should provide for the management of trust assets in the event the person contributing the property to the trust becomes incapacitated. This would avoid the need for a court appointed conservator for financial matters. In conclusion, a revocable trust is an important estate planning tool. Depending on your individual situation and desires, you may decide to use a revocable trust as your principal estate planning tool. As in all estate planning decisions, being educated about your choices is key in deciding whether a revocable trust is right for you. WITH A SATELLITE OFFICE NOW IN PANGUITCH. Jeffery J.

A man learned shortly before quitting time that he had to attend a meeting. He tried unsuccessfully to locate his car pool members to let them know that he would not be leaving with them. Hastily he scribbled a message to one fellow and left it on his desk: "I have a last minute meeting. Leave without me. Dave." At 7:00 p.m., he stopped back at his desk and found this note: "Meet us at the bar and grill across the street. You drove, you idiot."
Meeting
Long, unproductive meetings are often the curse of corporate life. My very funny boss at the software company where I worked has come up with what just might be the perfect way to cut a business conferences short before they start rambling out of control. There comes a time when he announces, "All those opposed to my plan say, 'I resign.'" End of meeting.

l A u G h i N g Granted pOiNt!! I work in a school department that is supported by grants. On his first day, my new boss delivered some bad news. He said, "Unfortunately your last boss failed to apply for the grant that supports your work. You will be terminated at the end of this month. Did you know that?" Admittedly, I was unprepared for this, but I was not shocked. Two weeks before the end of my tenure, the new boss came to me again. He said, "Before you go, please submit the lesson plans you would have used for the next three months." I said, "Oh, I'm sorry, those lesson plans were covered in the grant. Didn't you know that?"

My wife never quite got the hang of the 24-hour military clock. One day she called the orderly room to speak with me. The person who answered told her to call me at the extension in the band rehearsal hall. "He can be reached at 4700, Ma'am," the soldier advised. With a sigh of exasperation, my wife responded, "And just what time is that?"

O bituaries Marie Stevens 1943 - 2017
LOA - Lucy Marie Durfey Stevens, 73, of Loa, Utah, suffered a sudden and severe stroke on the evening of July 3, 2017 and passed away on July 5, 2017 in Provo, Utah surrounded by loving family, both near and far. Marie was welcomed into the world by her adoring parents, Orlo Young and Ellen (Allen) Durfey, on October 16, 1943. She graduated from Wayne High School and attended a year of college at Snow College. She married her loving husband, Vorris Neal Stevens, on November 29, 1963 in Bicknell, Utah and they were sealed in March of 1985 in the St. George Utah Temple. They lived a full life together and were rarely apart. Vorris and Marie created and ran their own business named Stevens Furniture and Locker out of their shop in Loa, Utah, which is still family owned by their son and daughter-in-law. Their love and dedication to each other is a great example to all of their family and friends. Vorris and Marie treated each other with love and tenderness the entire span of their marriage on earth, while experiencing both the struggles and successes of life. Joan Stevens Brinkerhoff, their first child, was born on August 27, 1965 and their second child, Kelly Kay Stevens, was stillborn on July 15, 1968. Vorris and Marie's third child, Reed, joined their family on January 30, 1970. Marie loved her children so much and she was very proud of them and the lives they live. She was her children's biggest fan and taught them to love their spouse and to love all those around them. Marie cherished her family wholeheartedly and very much enjoyed being surrounded by her friends and family. She was so very proud of all of her children (including their spouses), grandchildren, and great-grandchildren and was full of life, energy, and a great friend to all. Marie loved watching the Utah Jazz games and was always yelling at the TV, cheering them on and encouraging the Jazz players to play better. She was an incredible friend, sister, mother, wife, and Jazz fan. Marie was very involved in her community and her church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She served selflessly in her callings within different organizations such as: Primary, Young Women, Boy Scouts, and Sunday School. Vorris and Marie also served a historical mission in Kirtland, Ohio from October 2007-April 2008. Marie will be remembered as a lovely person with a colorful personality and she will be greatly missed because of the great positive influence she has had on so many lives. She had her favorites and loved eating raw radishes, onions, and potatoes. She had a loud and vibrant laugh. She was a great cook and holidays at her house will always be cherished memories. Marie also loved spending time at her family reunion every August. She loved to play card games and would tease about always being the winner (and usually cheated). There were always laughs when Marie was around. She was kind, patient, forgiving, and welcoming to all. She was full of love and rarely got upset. She had a great sense of humor and didn’t take life too seriously. Always creating an atmosphere of love, Marie was known to be a peacemaker. There was nothing mean or jealous about her. She celebrated other’s successes as though they were her own. Marie will live on in the example that she set for her family and friends. She will live on through the kind acts of service for others that she so perfectly exemplified. Marie is survived by her dedicated husband, Vorris; her daughter, Joan (David) Brinkerhoff of Bicknell, UT and her son, Reed (Cindy) Stevens of Loa, UT; her grandchildren Weston (Rachel) Brinkerhoff of Thompson’s Station, TN, Melissa (Taylor) Mellor of Fayette, UT, Kellie (Lane) Gardner of Lawrence, UT, Natasha (Devin) Monroe of Cedar City, UT and Logan Stevens of Loa, UT; her great-grandchildren Ivy(3) and Nash(2) Brinkerhoff, Olivia(3) and Tristen(1) Mellor, and Adalynn(2) Gardner. She is also survived by her sister Elaine (Ross) Davis of St. George, UT and her brother Allen (Connie) Durfey of Bicknell, UT. Marie is preceded in death by her parents, Orlo Young and Ellen (Allen) Durfey and her stillborn daughter Kelly Kay Stevens. Funeral services will be held Wednesday, July 12, 2017 at 1:00 P.M. in the Loa LDS Stake Center, where friends may call for viewing Tuesday evening from 6 to 8 P.M. or Wednesdaymorning from 11:00 to 12:30 prior to the services. Burial will be in the Bicknell Cemetery under the care of the Springer Turner Funeral Home of Richfield and Salina, Utah. “And sometimes if you’re lonely, just remember she can see.

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com We are down in San Diego visiting our Granddaughter Téah and having a real fun time. The whole world was down at the beach enjoying the warm weather, exercising, and spending time with family. The temperature is a very mild 82 degrees and no wind, it just doesn’t get any better than that. On our way down it was 114 in St. George, Mesquite 116, Las Vegas 116 and the poor road crewmen were working out in the heat laying asphalt in the Las Vegas and Baker when the weather was 119. I have been traveling through Vegas for over 60 some odd years and the road has always been under construction, but this is the first time that they have been working on the north end of Las Vegas. Is the end of the road work in sight? Many of these workers, their sons and grandsons have had life time jobs given they have been under construction for decades. We have gotten a lot of sightseeing in three days. We took the coast route from San Diego to Oceanside and back, while admiring the ocean views along the way. With Téah we went over to Coranado Island, to walk along the bay and watch all the boats traveling by. Sunday, we went to Mission Beach and walked along ocean front. There are a lot of beautiful homes on the beach front, many of which are vacation rentals, and they aren’t cheap! They range in price from $1,800 to $3,400 a week. The bigger homes sleep 11 guests and down to two bedrooms that sleep just 4. After lunch we went over to Old Town, San Diego. There we walked and listen to the music till we dropped and still only saw half the town. Maybe next time. Talked to our Daughter Shawn and she said that the fire as of Sunday was 80%
InsIder
A view of the smoke from the Brian Head fire. This picture was taken facing east on I-15, at the rest stop about 20 miles north of Cedar City. There were aproximately 20 - 25 cars all parked at the rest stop, just to take pictures and video of the smoke as it billowed up. contained. When we left on Thursday morning the smoke was going straight up and that was a good sign! It is still hopeful that the prediction of the fire will be controlled by the 15th will hold true. These firefighters are really tough; fighting this beast for so long without a break is really something. We took a trip up to the lake last week and I must say the firefighters did a great job of warding off the flames from around the Lake. The fire really killed off much of the business at the Lake affecting Bear Paw, Panguitch Lake Resort, Blue Springs Lodge and all the other business lost thousands of dollars of food, equipment and business! But now they’re OPEN for business so I encourage you to head up and show them your support! I really missed the half marathon last week, it is held on the second Saturday in July, I hope with all the heat and smoke, that all went well. This weekend we have a lot of thing going on! The Fiddlers are coming to town on Thursday and Friday evenings. A few of these enter-
tainers canceled out because of the fire and smoke, but many of the troupers will be there for your enjoyment. Friday night is the Taste of Panguitch and it will be held behind the Zion’s bank. Many of our finest restaurants will have some great food for you to sample. The feast starts at 5:00 and then you can go over to the Social Hall for the Fiddlers concert. Saturday morning it will be the Panguitch Lions Fiddlers all you can eat breakfast. This is the Lion’s Club 4th and last breakfast for the summer and it will feature; Pancakes, Bacon, Sausage and Eggs. The meal starts at 7:30 and runs to 10:00 or until everyone is fed. The Desperado Duo, a road bike race, will be held on Saturday morning- check it out! Next weekend is another biggie, with 24th celebration that will be celebrated on Saturday the 22nd. Get your floats ready and all of your hot rods polished up the parade will start at 10:00 am and will be started at the high school. The Scouts will have a breakfast at Zions bank and a lot of events are planned all
day long. At 12:30 there will be the Firefighter's famous deep pit barbecue, at the Fair Building. The High School rodeo will run during the week, this is one of the biggest rodeos of the season. The Nationals take the best of the two cowboys and cowgirls for each event and Panguitch will feature the 3 to 10 riders and they are really good. Best sign of the weekend: “Our really big procrastinator’s convention that was scheduled for this weekend has been put off.” Mack O.

By way of Boulder by Peg Smith ~ pegenias@gmail.com
Water is life. Water is what makes Boulder the green-pastured, tree-dotted oasis in the desert we know and love. Water is also mystery, at least how it moves, and is moved, throughout Boulder’s fields, ditches, water lines, and ponds. As a person holding only miniscule irrigation shares, I’m not privy to the decision-making and background information that informs Boulder’s irrigation operations. Nevertheless, I’m a beneficiary, as is every resident in and around Boulder. We tend to take for granted that riparian areas still exist within the town. Some of these qualify as wetlands; other areas simply contain a clustering of shade-giving trees, and all of which provides harbor for birds and animals, as well as momentary respite for humans. Boulder would not be the tourist draw it is for the birding community without our irrigation waterways and ponds. We also tend to take for granted the very existence of those green fields and pastures. You don’t need to get very far from an irrigated area to see what all Boulder would look like left to nature’s ways. Or actually, not so much original Nature, but man-made, invasive plant-intensive nature, with wildfire-ready cheat grass and tumbleweed. As owners of hay-consuming livestock, my hus-

Who’s growing what, what’s already spoken for, when the first, second, and hopefully, third cuts come in. What we’ve become painfully aware of is a slow constricting of people growing hay that is available for sale. Just as with wildfires, there is no simplistic, black and white cause: global economics, increase in local cattle numbers, fewer large parcels, small-parcel owners uninterested in the effort of growing hay, equipment issues, watering issues. It’s those watering issues that cause the greatest concern. If there were no animals to feed, there’d be no need to grow hay, so there’d
be no need to invest in, set up, and maintain the pivot lines and hand-/wheel lines that move the water to those fields. Watching my neighbors move hand lines twice a day throughout the summer throws a different perspective on green grass. This is not Iowa. Also, old time ranchers are, well, getting old. I say this lovingly and respectfully to Farlan Behunin, who’s managed for decades to produce one of the most iconic green fields in Boulder. This is Farlan’s last year of moving water and haying, he says. He’s said this before, but this time it sounds like he really means it. His health is not the greatest; it’s harder and harder for him to move around, he says. I drive past Farlan’s field every time
I go to town, so I can visually attest to the time he spends working. But, like most nonfarming Boulderites, I have no direct experience with the actual, physical effort he puts in, day in and out, regardless of weather. I can only greatly respect what he, and the others, do and have done over the past century or so to make and keep Boulder’s fields productive. I’m grateful that we still have open ditches and ponds. I’m grateful that there are still enough people to keep that water flowing into the nooks and crannies of Boulder’s remaining irrigated fields. It would be a sad day, it wouldn’t be Boulder, if no one’s left to move lines. If no one’s left to need green fields.

The Wizard of Oz by Adus f. dorsey II
Charles DeLoy Ellett 1939 - 2017

A Community Comes Together. Jan Brown reported that about noon on Wednesday the 5th of July a micro burst hit DeOna Oyler’s property on Loa’s Main Street, like something out of the Twilight Zone, scattering limbs from huge trees that her Grand Pa had planted. As fate would have it no one was hurt. Family and Friends quickly gathered and came to the rescue and began the clean up process that lasted until well after dark. Brown Brothers provided the equipment and the grand kids provided the manpower. JULY 7, 2017 - If you have driven down Loa’s Main Street, you have undoubtedly driven by DeOna Oyler / Putman’s place. Her house is the real pretty one, been there forever, the one with the manicured lawn and has the pots of purple flowers hanging in baskets on the front fence. DeOna is the little Loa lady with the big personality… On July 5th, 2017, right about lunch, Jan Brown reported that there was a severe Micro Burst of wind on Main Street in Loa, and her Mother DeOna’s house was at the epicenter. It should be no secret that Wayne County is no stranger to the wind, but the Wednesday afternoons wild wind that came out the west without notice was something
straight out of “The Wizard of Oz.” And if the truth were to be known, that kind of wind surely could have sent anyone not securely tied down sailing right off to somewhere in Kansas, whether they wanted to go or not. Luckily, no one was hurt in the Loa microburst or had to request Utah balloon fare back from Kansas. In a Wayne County second, stuff lying on, or near Loa’s Main Street instantly took flight and scattered tree debris from DeOna’s front yard all the way down Royal’s Food Town. Leaves from the trees that Grand Pa Oyler had planted over a hundred years ago could also be found on the pavement near the red diesel pumps down at Brian Farm. It certainly had to be a Wayne
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced the availability of $195 million in a new funding opportunity for community health centers to expand access to mental health and substance abuse services focusing on the treatment, prevention and awareness of opioid abuse in all U.S. states, territories and the District of Columbia. The awards are expected to be made in September of this year. Health centers that receive an award will use the funds to increase the number of personnel dedicated to mental health and substance abuse services and to leverage health information technology and training to support the expansion of mental health and substance abuse services and their integration into primary care. This funding will address two of HHS Secretary Tom Price, M.D.’s highest priorities: to better address serious mental illness and to fight the opioid epidemic. “Addressing serious mental illness across our nation and combating the opioid epidemic are two of the Department’s top priorities,” said Secretary Price. “Integration is key to solving these challenges. This funding will help our nation’s health centers provide that integration for mental health services and opioid addiction treatment.” “Providing behavioral health care in a primary medical care setting reduces costs and leads to improved patient outcomes,” said Dr. George Sigounas, Administrator of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). “This is especially true when it comes to substance abuse, including opioid addiction.” HRSA’s Health Center Program provides funding to
community-based health care providers in underserved areas. Nearly 1,400 community health centers operate at more than 10,400 sites, providing care to over 24 million people across the nation, in every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Basin. Today, health centers employ nearly 190,000 people. With this new funding opportunity, health centers will be able to increase personnel to help expand access to mental health services and substance abuse services. Applications for the Access Increases for Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (AIMS) award are due July 26, 2017. Additionally, the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) is making $3 million available to expand opioidrelated healthcare services in rural communities. The grants will support up to 12 grantees for three years. Applications for the FORHP program are due July 21, 2017. The Trump Administration and Secretary Price have identified the opioid crisis as one of the top priorities for improving the health of the American people. HHS has outlined five specific strategies to combat the ongoing opioid crisis: improving access to treatment and recovery services; targeting availability and distribution of overdose-reversing drugs; strengthening timely public health data and reporting; supporting cutting-edge research; and advancing the practice of pain management.

County wind record for the history books. The amazing thing that made the biggest impression on DeOna Oyler / Putman, after the wild Wayne County wind had settled, was the shear amount of people that began to show up out of the blue to help with her yard clean-up. DeOna said that her heart was full of gratitude seeing all the wonderful and caring people appear out of nowhere to make sure that every limb and every fallen leaf was properly picked up and things on Loa Main Street were put back to normal. “Family and friends arrived to help load limbs, and they didn’t leave until the job was done, which was way after dark. Like always, Brown Brothers was Johnny on the spot provid-
ing equipment and a truck, the Grand Kids could hardly get to the house fast enough with their little wheel barrows and plastic leaf rakes, all to be part of the monumental Loa Main Street cleanup effort. As amazing as it might sound the only damage done was to Grand Pa Oyler’s big trees and the cable television wire feeding the house. We got that television wire fixed in a snap, you gotta be able to watch the news, you know.” DeOna, said. Thanks to all those folks that came to help in the Loa, Main street cleanup. It is in times like these that we have the unique opportunity show how we can help out our neighbors and friends in their time of need.
