Newly Discovered Dinosaur from Utah Reveals Intriguing Family History Spikey Southwestern Species Evolved from Asian Ancestors SALT LAKE CITY – Fossils of a new genus and species of an ankylosaurid dinosaur—Akainacephalus johnsoni—have been unearthed in the Kaiparowits Formation of Grand StaircaseEscalante National Monument (GSENM), in Kane County, southern Utah, U.S.A., and are revealing new details about the diversity and evolution of this group of armored dinosaurs. Expected to look like other North American Late Cretaceous ankylosaurid dinosaurs with smooth bony armor on the skull, the new research suggests just the opposite and indicates that the defining features of Akainacephalus, specifically the spiky bony armor covering the skull and snout, align more closely with Asian ankylosaurids, who also have more pronounced spikes covering their skulls.

The heavily ornamented skull of the Akainacephalus johnsoni is extremely unique.

Akainacephalus was announced today in the openaccess scientific journal PeerJ and unveiled on exhibit in the Past Worlds Gallery of the Natural History Museum of Utah at the Rio Tinto Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. The genus name is derived from the Greek

words akaina, which means ‘thorn’ or ‘spike,’ and cephalus, meaning ‘head.’ The species epithet johnsoni honors Randy Johnson, a dedicated museum volunteer who skillfully prepared its skull. Other talented volunteers helped to prepare the rest of the specimen.

Episode Four: Shared Responsibilities— The County and You

by Bonnie Mangold

WAYNE COUNTY Wayne County’s Emergency Manager and EMS Manager, both relatively new on the job, have gotten a true “baptism by fire:” first, a significant hazardous materials scare resulting in one death, and then the power outage resulting from the Willow Patch fire. The outage was at first thought to be due to a substation burning. Had that been the case, the outage could have been for weeks, not hours.

Not knowing the duration of

the power failure, emergency personnel quickly went in to action to get generators to the people in the county who are on oxygen and need a steady flow. Fortunately it wasn’t a substation and enough working generators were found to help people in need for the limited time period of the outage. These incidents, as they are referred to, have been somewhat of a wake-up call

So far, the 2018 fire season has produced a handful of big fires in California, Nevada, New Mexico and Colorado; conflagrations in Oklahoma and Kansas; and a fire bust in Alaska, along with garden-variety wildfires from Florida to Oregon. Some of those fires are in rural areas, some are in wildlands, and a few are in exurbs.

Even in a time of new normals, this looks pretty typical. Fire starts are a little below the 10-year running average, and the amount of burned area is running above that average. But no one can predict what may happen in the coming months. California thought it had dodged a bullet in 2017, until a swarm of wildfires in late fall blasted Wildfires

A June 18 fire in the middle of Boulder nearly destroyed at least one home and art studio before it was put out by the Boulder volunteer fire department. All homes and structures were saved and no one was injured.

BOULDER - Boulder dodged a fiery bullet a few weeks ago when a brush fire sparked just below Scotty Mitchell’s house.

Of course, it was breezy that morning, which worsened matters instantly. Scotty says she looked out the west window of her art studio and “just saw a wall of fire.”

However, the Boulder fire department had already been alerted. Between them and a fortuitous wind shift, the fire was put out, leaving a scarred hillside, but houses and humans intact.

With Boulder housing situated as it is—mostly individual homes tucked among trees or set back behind grassy hillocks—firefighting, even in town, is probably more akin to wildland firefighting. Believe me, I’m knocking on wood as I write this, but with water

conditions being what they are and the general crunchiness of vegetation, we have all been incredibly lucky so far this season.

As a token of appreciation, Scotty initiated a fundraiser for the Boulder firefighting volunteers. On the evening of the Talent Show festivities, she raffled off one of her original pastels, along with some prints and cards.

Hells Backbone Grill offered a free dinner. A few thousand dollars was raised and distributed directly to the Boulder volunteers, including, I believe, some of the EMT and Search and Rescue volunteers as well. Scotty told me, “It’s so sad… all across the country [we depend so heavily on these volunteers] and they don’t get paid. They give up their own time, they and their employers give up their time

from work.” I had a hard time prodding Scotty into even responding to my questions because she so firmly didn’t want any credit. She just wanted some small way to thank our volunteer friends and neighbors.

I hope we all appreciate that one doesn’t live happily or safely in a small community without a little army of volunteers in the background.

From trained volunteers to organizations to helpful neighbors, sick people get fed, bikes get fixed, kids get tended, fires get put out. Not only do we benefit on the receiving end, we also get the joy to give where we each can. I’d say that’s a big part of why people love living here.

In Light of Recent Events in Helsinki

I offer this quote from Cicero, in Rome, 42 BCE: "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. For the traitor appears not a traitor—He speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men.

He rots the soul of a nation—he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city—he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared."

A Clarification

Last week the Insider printed an article about an initiative that will appear on Wayne County’s November ballot. The initiative asks “Shall a study committee be appointed to consider and possibly recommend a change in Wayne County’s form of government.” I want to reiterate that the initiative is asking for a STUDY of 4 different forms of government. It does not ask for a change in our government.

consult with top paleontologists – it’s like a dream second career. I couldn’t believe it when they told me they are naming the ankylosaur after me, a once in a lifetime honor,” said Johnson.

Ankylosaurids are a group of four-legged herbivorous armored dinosaurs with imposing bony tail clubs.

Though ankylosaurids originated in Asia between 125 – 100 million years ago, they do not appear in the western North American fossil record until ~77 million years ago.

The new species Akainacephalus lived 76 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous Period and offers the most complete skeleton of an ankylosaurid dinosaur found in the southwestern US. It includes a complete skull, much of the vertebral column, including a complete tail club, several fore and hind limbs elements, and bony body armor that includes two neck rings and spiked armor plates.

The unique arrangement of bony armor in the shape of small cones and pyramids covering the snout and head is the key research finding indicating that Akainacephalus is closely related to the New Mexican ankylosaurid Nodocephalosaurus kirtlandensis.

Surprisingly, Akainacephalus and Nodocephalosaurus are more closely related to Asian ankylosaurids such as Saichania and Tarchia than to other Late Cretaceous North American ankylosaurids, including Ankylosaurus and Euoplocephalus. Both of the latter taxa possess flat skull armor.

“A reasonable hypothesis would be that ankylosaurids from Utah are related to those found elsewhere in western North America, so we were really surprised to discover that Akainacephalus was so closely related to species from Asia,” remarked Randall Irmis, co-author of the study.

as our county is ill-prepared in some ways for a major emergency.

What we have going for us are some very dedicated people, and as Sheriff Taylor pointed out in the July LEPC meeting, we do put differences aside and pull together in emergencies. But we are sorely lacking in terms of funding, other resources, and protocols known to all citizens and businesses. Also there were some communication equipment failures during this incident.

The back-up generator for one repeater station failed to work, making some communications spotty or much delayed. (Ham radio operators please keep current and make yourselves known. You may be the next Wayne County heroes.)

So, what portion of emergency preparedness responsibility falls on our county government, and what part on

they do not appear in the North American fossil record until around 77 million years ago. Akainacephalus once roamed the southern part of Laramidia, a landmass on the western coast of a shallow sea that flooded the central region, splitting the continent of North America in two. This caused isolation along western and eastern portions of the North American continent during the Late Cretaceous Period, between 95-70 million years ago.

Lead author Jelle Wiersma suggests that the geographic distribution of Late Cretaceous ankylosaurids throughout the Western Interior was the result of several geologically brief intervals of lowered sea level that allowed Asian ankylosaurid dinosaurs to immigrate to North America several times during the Late Cretaceous, resulting in the presence of two separate groups of ankylosaurid dinosaurs. This lowering of sea levels exposed the Beringian land bridge, allowing dinosaurs and other animals to move between Asia and North America.

“It is always exciting to name a new fossil taxon, but it is equally exciting if that taxon also provides additional insights into the bigger picture of its life, such as its diet or aspects of its behavior, and the environment it lived in,” said Wiersma. “Such is exactly the case with Akainacephalus johnsoni; not only is this the first described and named Late Cretaceous ankylosaurid dinosaur from Utah, but this unique animal also strengthens the evidence that distinct northern and southern provincialism existed during the late Campanian stage in Laramidia, because to date, we don’t see this type of ankylosaurid dinosaurs in the fossil record of northern Laramidia,” he said.

Wiersma explained that additionally, together with its close relative Nodocephalosaurus from New Mexico, Akainacephalus looks very different compared to other North American ankylosaurids such as Ankylosaurus, but instead,

look much more like Asian ankylosaurids including Saichania and Tarchia. From these observations we can conclude that at least two immigration events took place during Late Cretaceous times when lowered sea levels exposed the Beringian land bridge, connecting Asia with western North America. Ankylosaurid dinosaurs, among many other groups of animals, eventually crossed this land bridge, emigrating from Asia into western North America, resulting into two different types of Late Cretaceous ankylosaurid dinosaurs: ones that evolved flatter skull armor like Ankylosaurus and Euoplocephalus, and ones possessing very spiky skull armor such as Akainacephalus and Nodocephalosaurus.

“It is extremely fascinating and important for the science of paleontology that we can read so much information from the fossil record, allowing us to better understand extinct organisms and the ecosystems they were a part of,” concluded Wiersma.

These new findings are part of a study funded in large part by the Bureau of Land Management, as well as the Geological Society of America, and a University of Utah Department of Geology & Geophysics Graduate Student Grant. The project was led

by University of Utah M.Sc. student Jelle Wiersma, now a Ph.D. student in the Dept. of Geosciences at James Cook University, Queensland, Australia. Wiersma was advised by co-author Dr. Randall Irmis, chief curator and curator of paleontology at the Natural History Museum of Utah, and associate professor in the Dept. of Geology and Geophysics, University of Utah.

individual citizens? Obviously our governmental entities must step in with equipment, money, supplies and personnel when the needed response is beyond what individual citizens can deal with. But as citizens we do have a responsibility: to be as prepared as possible for any emergency so that we are less dependent on first responders and other government assistance. For example, if your water source is a well, in this recent power outage did you have the means to keep the well pumping? If not, consider installing a few solar panels, enough to maintain water and maybe run the freezer or refrigerator. Or, perhaps you need a generator for additional uses, like the concentration of oxygen. If you have a generator, do you have fuel stored, and safely? Whether on a well, or not, how much water do you have stored? The Red Cross recommends one gallon per person per day (3-day supply for evacuation, 2-week supply

for home.) Keep in mind that we are in a serious drought and that town water can run out too, or be disrupted as happened last year in Torrey.

In any disaster response where State or Federal or neighboring county assistance is needed, Wayne County still must pay 25% of the total cost, which can run in to the millions. Volunteer hours and equipment usage are deducted from that debt if well documented—another reason to take the CERT training. Not only will you be helping others, but you will also be helping to defray such a debt. As citizens, by taking our share of responsibility, we can make our county more viable and able to withstand emergencies.

The next episode will investigate what constitutes a reasonable emergency threeday supply. Past episodes of this series can be accessed at https://www.insiderutah.com or on the Wayne Co. EMS & Emergency facebook page.

Ankylosaurid Dinosaurs on the Lost Continent of Southern Laramidia Akainacephalus johnsoni was discovered in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM) which encompasses a large area of high desert terrain in south-

central Utah. This vast and rugged region, part of the National Landscape Conservation System administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), was the last major area in the lower 48 states to be formally mapped by cartographers.

During the Late Cretaceous, GSENM was in the southern portion of Laramidia, which stretched from the Arctic Circle to the Gulf of Mexico. Akainacephalus is part of a growing number of new dinosaur discoveries over the past 15 years demonstrating the incredible diversity of animals and plants living on Laramidia between 80-75 million years ago. One of the most exciting conclusions from this work is that nearly every species of dinosaur discovered in GSENM is new to science, and Akainacephalus is no exception. Other recently discovered species include large and small meateating dinosaurs (e.g., tyrannosaurs), horned dinosaurs, and duck-billed dinosaurs. “A major long-term goal of our work in southern Utah is to try and understand why the species in GSENM differ from relatives of the same geologic age found in other parts of Laramidia,” said Wiersma. Hypotheses for the differences include changes in sea level, climate differences across latitude, and physical barriers to animal movement such as mountains and large rivers.

Fire Restrictions Cont'd from page 1

campfires were eased, allowing campfires in designated areas as well as operating time restrictions on chainsaws and other motorized equipment.

Agencies that govern fire use are citing weather as the primary factor in the decision.

Recent rainfall and expected monsoonal moisture have reduced the threat of wildland fires.

While the risk is lower, officials are urging the public to continue to use caution when using fire. The potential for wildfire is still present and campfires are a major cause.

More than two-thirds of all wildfires statewide have resulted from human activity.

"People like to have campfires, it goes along with camping," says Southwest Area Fire Management Officer, Mike Melton. "People do need to be careful; a little common sense goes a long way when you're dealing with fire in the wildland."

The restrictions have not been eased on lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management in Utah.

Fire restrictions in state parks and incorporated city areas vary by location, check with local officials.

NPS Seeks Input on Draft Livestock Grazing and Trailing Management Plan TORREY - The National Park Service released its Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Capitol Reef National Park Livestock Grazing and Trailing Management Plan for a 30-day public comment period that closes Aug. 17.

"Cattle grazing and trailing have historically been part of the park's landscape and mandated use, which is why it is important that we develop a plan to continue that use while also preserving the park's natural and cultural resources," said Capitol Reef Superintendent Sue Fritzke.

"As part of that process, we will continue to work with our permit holders, stakeholders, the public, and local, state and federal partners to ensure a collaborative final product."

During the public comment period, the NPS will host one in-person meeting where staff will be available to discuss the EA. The meeting will be held from 6 pm to 8 pm on Aug. 1, at the Wayne County Community Center, 605 South 350 East, Bicknell, UT 84715.

The preferred alternative in the EA seeks to minimize impacts to permit holders by keeping current trailing routes open and maintaining the same number of maximum Animal Unit Months in the active grazing allotment.

The preferred alternative also incorporates widely-accepted management techniques, including pasture rotation, fencing, monitoring, and adaptive management to balance grazing and trailing with available forage. These techniques are intended to improve rangeland health and protect park resources, including threatened and endangered species, their habitat, and riparian areas. None of the alternatives included in the draft plan propose eliminating grazing and trailing within the park.

The EA will be available for public review and comment online via the Planning, Environment and Public Comment website at http:// parkplanning.nps.gov/care_ lgtmp_ea. Hardcopies of the EA will also be available at local libraries and a limited number can be requested, as described on the planning website. Comments will also be accepted at the public meeting and via U.S. mail.

The planning process began with meetings, discussions, and scoping with Cooperating Agencies and the public in 2014 and 2015. The comments NPS received were used to help inform and develop alternatives and analysis that are now included in the EA. Similarly, NPS will use comments received on this draft to finalize the plan.

When the NPS began the planning process, there were two active grazing allotments that existed within the park - the Hartnet Allotment in the Cathedral District and the Sandy 3 Allotment in the Waterpocket District. In early 2018, the Hartnet Allotment permit holder willingly sold their permit to a non-profit organization and thereby relinquished their rights to graze within the park, but retain the right to trail cattle.

As a result, the NPS adjusted planning efforts for the livestock grazing and trailing management plan to address long-term management and permitting of grazing on the Sandy 3 Allotment. The EA also analyzes the effects of issuing permits on eight traditional livestock trailing routes that currently cross the park and the effects of issuing two new trailing permits to the former Hartnet Allotment permittee. Under current law, grazing will continue as long as the current generation of permit holders continues to operate. Trailing livestock across the park along traditional routes will continue indefinitely.

For more information on the EA, please visit the planning page listed above or plan to attend the open house meeting.

The Tri-County Bookmobile reading program ended on July 17th with "Music in the Movies." This fun program consisted of reading books, listening to music and trying to name that tune, and the kid's creating their very own flutes.

BICKNELL - Tuesday, July 17th was the last program for summer reading at the library. We ended with a great program “Music in the Movies” presented by Lori Chappell and Hannah Morrill. The crowd arrived with Hannah playing her violin, setting the tone for the fun program to come.

We started it off by Faun Jackson reading “Can You Make a Scary Face?” by Jan Thomas. This book had the kids playing along, doing the chicken dance and making scary faces! “Alan’s Big, Scary Teeth” by Jarvis is a book about an alligator that loved being scary until one day his false teeth were taken… he learned he could use his teeth for nicer things like pruning hedges and cutting hair! The kids really enjoyed both books! Lori had the kids close their eyes while she played some music. She asked the kids what the music made them FEEL

like and what IMAGES came to their minds while listening to it. It was such a fun exercise and it was interesting to hear the kids’ thoughts as they listened. A personal favorite was when the music from “JAWS” played, a little girl said it made her think of trick or treating! Then a scene from “Pirates of the Caribbean” was shown with different accompanying music. It showed how producers intentionally put music in movies to make us feel things. Hannah then split the group into two teams, played a little bit to see if they could NAME THAT MOVIE TOON. They’d get an extra point if they then could keep singing the song after she stopped the music. Popcorn and cookies were handed out and they made their own little flutes! It was a great way to end this year’s theme, “Libraries Rock”! BIG thank you to Lori Chappell, who is an amazing band leader in Wayne Middle School and Wayne

High School! And a huge thank you to Hannah Morrill for all her hard work preparing all the flute kits, creating the fun game, playing for us!

I wish she could have played a bit of all the instruments she plays because she is beyond talented and the sweetest girl you’d ever want to meet.

Thank you, Elva Jackson and Ellen Anderson for always being there for us. You both can never be thanked enough.

These programs would not be successful without amazing people that step up and help AND without the great parents that bring their kids out. Reading throughout the summer is so very important in keeping their reading levels up. It is proven they can lose up to a grade level skill if kids do not read throughout the summer, so keep coming to the library, keep reading to the kids and encouraging kids to read!

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, problems arise when the vari-

ous 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.

Did He Arrive Safe?

One stormy spring morning an obviously anxious mother called theschool office to ask if her son's bus had gotten there safely.

She was asked, "What is your son's name and what grade is he in?"

A giggle followed a pause. "Oh, my son's not a student. He's the bus driver."

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.

Contingency

An indigent client who had been injured in an accident went looking for a lawyer to represent him without cost. One lawyer told him that he would take the case on contingency.

When the client asked what "contingency" meant, the lawyer replied, "If I don't win your lawsuit, I don't get anything. If I do win your lawsuit, you don't get anything."

FYI PanguItch

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com The monsoons got here a little early, but boy are they welcome. It seems like it rains a little bit every day. It is really a hit and miss situation. Three miles north of town there was some flooding, and a quarter of a mile south it is dryer than a bone. Other than the flash flood that took out one of our springs, the rain has been very welcome by all.

Most of the lawns are looking good; even those houses that have been abandoned have green weeds.

Speaking of the flash flood, the City was up and running in record time with the State water people coming here and giving us the green light on Wednesday to start drinking the water. A lot of hard work and many hours went into bringing this quick turnaround in our water system. I always leave out people that helped out in these endeavor, the many volunteers that helped by passing out the information on the problem with the system throughout the town. Nate and Eric Houston passed out over 600 cases of water at their Silver Eagle station on Saturday. On Tuesday I found out that the Senior Citizens Center needed water for the lunches. I gave Nate a call, and he was down at his station in a half hour to give me enough water to help with all three meals. The cooks at the Senior Citizens Center made do with what they had and got out over 100 sack lunches for each of the three days to see that seniors in town didn’t go hungry.

Another one that doesn’t get the credit he deserves is Sherriff Danny Perkins. Years ago when I was an EMT, we would get a call at 3:30 in the morning, as far away as Panguitch Lake. When we got there, Sherriff Perkins was there directing us to where we were going and usually had the situation well in hand. He Wayne Fire District Cont'd from page 1

long–time Farmers Insurance agent, a $200,000 home that is in an area with Public Fire Protection rating of class 5 were to go to a class 9 then insurance could double from about $1200 per year to $2400.

If the area went to a class 10, it’s probable that most insurance companies would not insure it at all and the property could only be insured through a high-risk pool that would be even more expensive.

Wayne County formed

never let up on these responses even after he was elected Sherriff. He is still at it; he was down in the water tanks helping muck out the dirt with buckets, because that’s Danny’s way.

We made it through the 24th with a really big turnout.

Many feasted on the Scouts breakfast in the morning. The Scouts only do these breakfasts once every three years, each ward taking a turn, but with their great leaders it always turns out really good.

The Parade really went well, and for the first time in 15 years my Model A Truck made it all the way. Good to see all of the cars this year, lots of Vets, Camaros and hot rods.

Carl Henrie and Steve Marshall 23T Buckets make you want to droll, even Joe Nay’s 32 Ford Pickup was there.

Kirsten Morrison and Terry Gleaves showed off Kirsten's great sports car; the one that really caught your eye because of the doors that looked like wings. Panguitch’s Parade is a lot of fun, especially with the young ones, with all of the candy that was thrown; some of the young ones got a year’s supply of the sweet stuff.

It was like the old days at the Firefighter’s luncheon, with the Fair Building packed.

And as usual the meat was the best ever and with prices way down, a lot more people are coming with their families.

The Firefighters luncheon has been a long standing tradition.

It is a lot of hard work to put it on, but it is one of the high lights of the 24th Celebration.

When I complained to Pat about the 24th being on Tuesday, she replied that it has been that way for ever and when she was growing up here, it was always on Saturday the closes one to the 24th.

With the 24th on Wednesday next year, I wonder what day it will be on.

We now have a new

Lion’s Club President. He is Dean Sheffer. Dean was the rider in the back of my Pickup in the parade. Dean will make a great President. He really likes to talk. What was impressive at least to me was after the Lion’s Club 4th of July breakfast, three women from France who had been at the National Lion’s Convention in Las Vegas, came up to Dean and they remembered him from the Convention. They were visiting the area and just wanted to stop and say hello.

There were over 10,000 Lions at the Convention. Many thanks to Rick Irish for his two years as Lions Club President. This was Rick’s second time as President. Rick is the only Lion from Panguitch to serve as an officer of the Utah State organization.

Rick’s health has not been good this last couple of years, but he toughed it out and again many thanks Rick. When you see him give him a big roar.

I finished Lamont Olsen’s second book on the Space Train. This book like the first one is hard to put down, it seemed like there was a crisis at the end of every chapter.

Lamont is really clever with this book, he builds you up to a really big crisis. The Train finally after three years, is going to land on a friendly planet. Here is where Lamont gets you, it just ends, so you have to get his next book to find out what happens. He says that his next book will be out shortly; meanwhile he just sits around with that little smile on his face, knowing that he got you hooked.

I forgot a few things on the extended coal mine at Alton. Currently the mine is producing 250,000 tons of coal in a year. The new section will be putting out 2 ½ million tons of the black stuff a year.

This means the trucks will be running 24-7 and they will be doubling the amount of trucks

that will be going through town. (I am so happy we live on Main Street!) Which is interesting to me since they are always advertising for drivers. Remember when they came to town and were going to have all of these jobs for the people from town and your kids would be able to come home because there would be work for them?

Well as of now, we have two people working as drivers from Panguitch. I guess the fact that Delta will have to switch over to Natural gas by 2024, in order to sell electricity to California, maybe thats why the rush to get the coal out.

This item is from the SLC Tribune. U.S. cheese stockpile hits an all-time high. The 1.39 billion pound of cheese surplus is the largest in the 100 years of record keeping. Traditionally cows in the spring produce more milk, longer days and better food. Better genetics means that cows produce more milk.

And people eat less cheese, than when school is in, and festivals are at a low as are sporting events. People are drinking less milk which is a shame at least for children.

Milk is nature’s perfect food; it has 8 mg of protein, calcium 30% for strong bone growth and teeth, Vitamins A 10%, C 4% and D 25%. It is recommended that a child drinks at least 3 cups a day.

Many of these protein drinks that people pay a lot for, don’t have much more protein than what you can get from regular milk. The government is stopping the name of milk on products that are not produce by cows, like Almond Milk and a few other trendy drinks.

It is still a couple of weeks till the County Fair and the ATV Rally starts, so relax and try to catch your second wind.

the new Special Service District #3 (AKA Wayne County Fire District) specifically for the improvement of fire protection. The District has completed interlocal agreements with all Wayne County municipalities to join the District for the purpose of improving funding and operations of the fire departments. Currently the district and the local fire departments have no paid personnel. All firefighters are volunteers.

Unfortunately the increasing demands on departments and individual community fire chiefs for

training, record keeping, fire inspections, reporting, maintenance, equipment testing and emergency response have outstripped the ability of existing volunteer personnel to get the work done.

Although the district has existed on paper for years, it has never assessed a mill levy to pay for fire protection. This has caused a serious funding shortfall that may be remedied next year by imposition of a modest tax on property. If the maximum tax were imposed, a home assessed at $100,000 would pay $80 per year for fire protection. That’s a bargain compared to the huge increase in insurance costs if the District can’t meet its goals.

No mill levy has been determined yet.

The current fire district board, Dennis Blackburn, Josh Brown, and Steve Lutz, along with Wayne County community fire chiefs are working on a plan to address ISO and other concerns. One key element of the plan is to hire a District Chief to manage the District.

Another is to unify response and training so that enough qualified firefighters respond to every fire to assure safe and efficient operations. National standards require a minimum of 4 firefighters on the first alarm, but it will usually take at least twice that many if a structure is actually on fire.

Since several departments are unable to respond with 4 or more, response is now unified so that multiple stations, within the district, are paged out on every structure fire, as one department.

There is some good news to report, The Teasdale engine that failed the annual pump

test, has been replaced with a newer engine that will actually pump it’s rating of 1,250 gallons per minute, thanks to Ivins City, we were able to purchase this newer engine at a very reasonable cost of $2,500, when Ivins replaced it with a new rig that cost almost $300,000. Loa received a brand new Rosenbauer fire engine in February.

Countywide, having enough trained volunteers to respond to every emergency is the most serious obstacle to success. In addition to actual emergency response, which obviously requires some physical strength, excellent health and occasional exposure to potentially serious hazards, departments also need help with everyday non-emergency tasks such as establishing and updating internet communications channels, fire safety inspections, fire prevention and mitigation programs, maintenance, data entry, public safety education, logistical support and other functions.

The Fire District invites all Wayne County residents to visit our information and recruitment booth at the Wayne County Fair dinner on Wednesday August 15, at 6pm. Come learn about, and meet your Wayne County firefighters and how we can work together to make our families and communities safer and save some money in the process.

Bertha Clements Fullmer

BOULDER - Three days after her 100th birthday Bertha Clements Fullmer peacefully left this life to reunite with her Savior, her husband and 11 siblings. She was laid to rest next to her husband in Tetonia, Idaho.

Born in her Grandma Anderson’s home in Rexburg, Idaho on July 2, 1918. She lived through the Great Depression and worked thru WWII. Bertha was taken by the charm of Sidney Keith Fullmer at only 14 years old. It was years later when the rekindled that young infatuation and later married in the Salt Lake Temple in 1943. They expanded on the Fullmer Legacy raising their eight children In a music filled, Gospel centered home. She spent the last 25 years making Boulder, Utah her home.

With Sidney’s support they bought a craft store, added ceramics and with her creative ability and hard work the store helped provide financial support for the family, and helped teach her children and grandchildren to work hard and fuel their creativity. Those experiences taught crucial life lessons, and shaped their lives, their careers, and paths they took.

She was an voracious reader all through her life. She loved the scriptures and loved a good novel and fictional history. In her late 80’s she embraced technology and bought her first I pad which enabled her to continue reading even with macular degeneration which was taking her eyesight.

With the enlarged font she read clear up unto her last year of life. She was as sharp as a tack and had a great sense of humor and was able to make friends and family laugh up until the end.

Bertha survived a quintuple bypass surgery, cancer, and several surgeries. She and Sidney survived raising 8 children in a home with only one bathroom.

Bertha loved adventure and went Skydiving at the age of 86, with a grandson Trent Ripplinger. She passed that along to her family. She will remain one of the strongest individuals any of us have had the privilege of knowing. What else can be said for 100 years of a meaningful life? Her family has been made better by her choices.

She is survived by her children Kay Ripplinger (Larry), Irene Weatherston (Leland), Keith Fullmer (Susan), Joy Hope, Laura DeMay, April Roeser, Nyle Fullmer (Sherrie), Rohn Fullmer, 39 Grandchildren, 87 Great Grandchildren.

Ethel LeFevre

TROPIC - Ethel Clarke LeFevre, age 92, passed away on Tuesday, July 17, 2018, in St. George, Utah. From her birth in Rexburg, Idaho on July 21, 1925, to her death, Ethel nourished and served all those around her.

Born to Bertha Henderson and Lester Lavern Clarke, Sr., she was the middle of eight children, each of which preceded her in death. Ethel was a sunny, joyful child who emulated her mother’s hard work, dedication, and faith. During her final years, Ethel missed her siblings Bill, John, Margene, Lester, Jim, Allen, and Katie Clarke.

Growing up in Cannonville, Utah, Ethel met her husband Lamar LeFevre in high school where she was a star pupil. Lamar was instantly drawn to Ethel’s beautiful hair at the school dance where they met, and he married his sweetheart on December 6, 1944, in Vallejo, California. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Logan Temple on February 27, 1948.

Ethel and Lamar’s lifelong courtship took them to movies, dancing, and across the world as they both served in leadership roles for the Lions Club.

Known for her smile, summer garden, and saltwater taffy stash, Ethel was never one to turn a blind eye to those in need.

She was active in the PTA and made it a goal to feed the homeless as she always had a warm meal waiting to serve. This generosity was the hallmark of her life and spread throughout years of service as a Relief Society President for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). Having served as the president in three different congregations, Ethel’s legacy was one of ongoing faith and courage.

Her sensitivity to the needs of others extended to her family and those who visited Bryce Point, the bed and breakfast she ran with her husband in Tropic, Utah.

The inn became a home away from home to many who enjoyed her mouthwatering 7-Up pancakes, homemade apple cider syrup, and famous peanut brittle. Each visit began and ended with her sweet swaying hug, which lingered with family members as they headed home.

Her lifelong spirit of resilience and good humor modeled a life of service, and she was loved because she was full of love.

She is survived by her beloved husband of nearly 74 years, Lamar; children: Lynn (Karen) LeFevre, Leslie (Dela) LeFevre, Susan (Jon) Moody, and Clark (Stacey) LeFevre; 13 grandchildren; and 29 great-grandchildren.

Funeral services will be held on Monday, July 23, 2018, at 12:00 Noon at the Tropic LDS meetinghouse, 41 N 100 W, Tropic, where family will greet friends from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m.

Joe Mangum 1938 - 2018

IVINS / BICKNELL - Joseph Lee Mangum, age 79, passed away peacefully at home in Ivins on July 16, 2018 after a long, brave fight with cancer. Joe was born at Pine Creek Ranch, Bicknell, Utah on December 7, 1938 to Clifford Lee and Bertha Elizabeth Brown Mangum. He graduated from Wayne High School as valedictorian. He attended Snow College where he met and married Cora Lee Lyman November 1, 1958 in the Manti LDS Temple. He graduated from Utah State University and was employed at Hercules Aerospace for 28 years.

Joe and Cora Lee raised 3 children in West Valley City and later divorced. Joe later married Vikki Miller April 24, 1993 in Erda and lived in Erda and Rush Valley, Utah.

After Joe retired they moved to Ivins, Utah.

Joe loved the outdoors and inspired many young men with that love as he served in a number of capacities in the Boy Scouts of America at the unit and district level. He earned a number of leadership awards including the District Award of Merit, the Silver Beehive and Silver Beaver. He spent his youth on the Boulder and Fish Lake Mountains hauling timber and herding sheep. He loved to hunt and fish and taught countless folks to waterski. While his children were in their teen years he began guiding whitewater rafting trips with them. They became known as Joe's River Rats. They floated many western rivers, including a 2- week trip through the Grand Canyon. Joe and Vikki spent the summer of 2004 touring Alaska in their pickup and fifth wheel.

He is survived by his wife, Vikki of Ivins; children: Ron (Wendy) Mangum of Lakepoint, Utah; Kristine Kimball of West Jordan, Utah; Bardell (Susan) Mangum of East Helena, Montana; and Vikki's children: Michael (Melanie) McClung of Victoria, Texas and Kristi (Marty) Redd of Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin; 18 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren; siblings: Bill (Colleen) Coombs of Orem; Claudia (Newell (deceased)) Perry of Brigham City; Mary (Scott (deceased)) Myers of LaVerkin.

There’s No Free Lunch: Timeshares

by Megan Mustoe In response to a reader’s request, this week we’ll go over the types of timeshares and considerations before buying a timeshare. If you decide to buy a timeshare, take time in the buying process to fully understand the contract, your obligations, and your

ability to resell the product.

A timeshare is not an investment. Timeshare values typically decrease over time. Your resale price will be less than your buying price. Throughout your “ownership,” you’re responsible for periodic maintenance fees. These fees can increase every year. You must also consider your cost to travel to your timeshare for the total investment price.

Deeded Timeshare versus Right to Use. A deeded timeshare is a real property right where you are guaranteed a specific unit for a specific time every year. You can rent, sell, exchange, or bequeath your unit in your estate plan. You collectively own the property with other timeshare owners. Because you “own” the property, you are also responsible for costs of upkeep and potentially the mortgage which should be included in your periodic fees.

Right to Use. You do not own the property and have access to an interval of time to use the property. Your interest in the property is considered personal property and you are not guaranteed a specific unit or specific time to use the property. This type of timeshare may also include a complex point system, alternate years of use, and other clauses affecting your actual ability to use the unit.

Potential scams. Don’t buy a timeshare under pressure or as an impulse, regardless of the incentives offered. The timeshare market is glutted with unsold timeshares so whatever deal today IS NOT A “ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY.” Ask for such incentives to be in writing. Review your contract before signing and make sure to read the cancellation and resale poli-

cies. In the moment, you can’t imagine selling, but your family or yourself might need to in 20 years. Keep a paper trail of transactions and correspondence. Whatever someone tells you in person or on the phone is harder to prove than what’s in writing. Do not agree to anything over the phone or in person unless it is in writing and you’ve reviewed the document. Feeling rushed or isolated before making a big decision is often used by scam artists.

Exchanging your timeshare. Tired of the Florida beach and considering Gulf Coast? Want to change your skiing location? If so, you could exchange your timeshare with another plan owner with an equivalent unit. Read your contract closely to understand the process to transfer. This can take weeks to accomplish and will have additional costs.

Selling your timeshare. Be wary of companies who approach you and offer to resell your timeshare. After you research the company, ask for everything in writing. Do not agree to anything over the phone. Like selling other property, ask about fees, advertising progress reports, and if the company is licensed to sell real estate where your timeshare is located. Expect to sell your timeshare at a lower price than you bought it.

Consider your options. If you are impulsive by nature or not, consider the total costs of a timeshare and its value to your life. For some, they are great opportunities to create annual family memories. For others, they are expensive headaches that take more money to sell than ever expected. Remember, there is no free lunch or a legitimate opportunity that’s too good to be true.

You’ll have to pay in some way. And if you are okay with the costs and understand your risks, enjoy your timeshare and enjoy your vacation.

through Napa and Sonoma counties, followed by the Big One – the Thomas fire, California’s largest on record, in Ventura and Santa Barbara.

Every major fire rekindles another round of commentaries about “America’s wildfire problem.” But the fact is that our nation does not have a fire problem. It has many fire problems, and they require different strategies.

Some problem fires have technical solutions, some demand cultural calls. All are political.

Here’s one idea: It’s time to rethink firefighting in the geekily labeled wildland-urban interface, or WUI – zones where human development intermingles with forests, grasslands and other feral vegetation.

It’s a dumb name because the boundary is not really an interface but an intermix, in which houses and natural vegetation abut and scramble in an ecological omelet. It’s a dumb problem because we know how to keep houses from burning – but we have had to relearn that in WUI zones, hardening houses and landscaping their communities is the best defense. This is a local task, not a federal one, though the federal agencies have a supporting role and can, and do, help build local capacity.

Two fire cultures America is recolonizing rural landscapes everywhere, and fire in the WUI is one outcome. The concept appeared and received its name in Southern California, but has long since spread throughout the West. Some of the worst WUI risks reside in the southeastern United States, though they have mostly remained latent. Then a deadly blaze like the one that blew through Gatlinburg, Tennessee, to the fringes of Dollywood in 2016 reveals the full extent of the risk.

Just as development has stirred together built and natural landscapes, it also has juxtaposed two immiscible cultures of fire. Urban and wildland fire agencies are as different as fire hydrants and drip torches.

The mantra of urban fire control is “Learn not to burn.”

Every fire is an existential threat to life and property, and the core goal of fire codes is protecting lives. Urban firefighters wear turnout coats, helmets and self-contained breathing apparatus. They pummel fires with water and often operate inside structures.

For wildlands, the central code is “Learn to live with fire.” Firefighters wear

hardhats, carry shovels and Pulaskis, and wear bandannas.

They work in woods, prairies and chaparral, spray dirt as often as water, and secure perimeters by setting fires to remove flammable vegetation between the flaming front and their control lines. Their great challenge is to restore good fire to biotas that hunger for it.

The training that each group gets is largely worthless in the other’s setting. There are a few instances of crosstraining, particularly in rural areas, but the prime example of a major agency that tries to cope with both types of threats is the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, known as Cal Fire. Its experience shows what fusing these two purposes can mean.

Mixing the missions Cal Fire began as the California Department of Forestry, a land management agency, albeit one with serious fire responsibilities. In 1974, under the pressures of postwar development, it became the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

In 2007 it collapsed that mission into Cal Fire, which operates like an urban fire service in the woods.

Decades ago, federal fire agencies gave up on suppression as a sole strategy. They recognized that the best way to control fire is to control the landscape, preferably through fire, and that eliminating all fires in places that have grown up with them only creates conditions that make wildfires worse. By contrast, for Cal Fire, the urgency of fires rolling into communities trumps all other tasks. If the last firefight fails, it has to double down for the next one.

Today the WUI is exerting a similar transformation at the national level. It threatens to become a black hole in America’s pyrogeography, drawing federal land agencies – primarily the U.S. Forest Service and the Interior Department’s Bureau of Land Management – away from managing fire as a means of managing land, and transforming them into urban fireservice surrogates and auxiliaries.

These agencies can and do help communities prepare for fires, but they do not have the tools, training or temperament to fight fire on an urban model. Cal Fire’s template is too expensive; moreover, it

sucks resources away from managing fire well on the land, so it is too ineffective to serve nationally.

Turning the U.S. Forest Service into a National Fire Service may bring some relief to the WUI, but this would undermine the other missions in the agency’s charter, and ultimately weaken its ability to manage landscape fire. Already its fire mission is consuming over 50 percent of the Forest Service’s annual budget.

Urban enclaves in the wild Research repeatedly shows that the critical component in the WUI fire environment is the structure itself. Once a fire strikes the urban fringe it may morph into an urban conflagration, spreading from structure to structure, as happened in Santa Rosa, California, last fall. Clearly, the wildland fire community has to improve fire resilience in its lands, which should reduce the intensity of the threat. But the real action is in the built environment.

The fact that so many horrendous fires have started from power lines illustrates how fires mediate between the land and the ways we choose to live on it. Strengthening structures, bolstering urban fire services, treating WUI areas as built environment – this is where we will get the greatest paybacks.

In effect, we need to pick up the other end of the WUI stick. Think of these areas not as wildlands encumbered by houses, but as urban or exurban enclaves with peculiar landscaping. Defining the issue as fundamentally a wildland problem makes fixes difficult. Defining it as an urban problem makes solutions quickly apparent. The goal should be to segregate the two fire cultures and their habitats, and let each do what it does best.

Americans learned long ago how to keep cities from burning. And then, it seems, we forgot.
