Pit Stop Wanderlust Cowgirl Coffee —Worth Pulling Over For
GARFIELD COUNTYWithin the last few years, Garfield County has had the Brian Head fire, Panguitch City has recently had problems with the culinary water, and Escalante has had some problems with runaway juveniles in their area. The Garfield County Sheriff is striving to make sure people are notified about these kind of issues throughout our cities in Garfield County. Within the last year, Alerts

PANGUITCH - For Panguitch out-of-towners, it’s easy to miss on a trip through Garfield’s county seat—one blink and you’re past it. Next time, look again, and if you’re ready to stop, be prepared for a treat. Wanderlust Cowgirl Coffee, the little drive-up food trailer that serves smoothies, coffees, teas, and home-made pastries, is now located at the Silver Eagle gas station on Center Street. Last year, their first year of business, the establishment was located around the corner on the other leg of town, on Highway 89.
The move has been a good thing, according to owner Stacie Van Tassell. On a Wednesday afternoon, close to closing time, a steady stream of cars—and a few arriving on their own two legs—made their way up to the window. “We sold out of everything and had to do a second bake today,” said Van Tassell. Business was brisk. Van Tassell joins the list of local entrepreneurs offering unique products, and in “Wanderlust’s” case, Van Tassell has created her own distinctive coffee drinks and frappes in a variety of flavors, such

More Than $4 Billion in USDA Rural Infrastructure Loans Available: Water You Waiting For? by Randy N. Parker Utah State Director USDA Rural Development
UTAH - Not long ago, the United States was a world leader in infrastructure investments. Public and private funding helped even the most remote communities obtain electricity, running water, and economic opportunity through telecommunications. However, recent years have not followed the same trend, and too many rural communities have been left behind. The need for improvement is great, especially for rural water and wastewater systems. To put this in perspective, the American Water Works Association estimates that more than $600 billion is
needed over the next 20 years to upgrade our nation’s water and wastewater systems. Unfortunately, many small and rural water systems lack access to affordable financing. For generations, through funding provided by Congress, USDA’s water initiatives have made great advancements in the standard of living in rural Utah and across the U.S. These rural water infrastructure investments have been the engine for economic opportunity and agriculture advancements across the rural landscape. In the second most arid state in the nation, water Op-ed

OGDEN - On August 1, 2018, the Forest Service extended the public comment on a Supplemental Notice of Intent (NOI) in the Federal Register to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement which would amend the Forest Service land management plans regarding greater sagegrouse. The comment period is extended by 14 days and will now end August 15, 2018. The extension is in response to requests for additional time from various state agencies and partners because of an overlap of the Forest Service comment period with the
comment period for the Bureau of Land Management’s Draft Environmental Impact Statements on sage-grouse management. The Forest Service is proposing to amend, with ongoing input and collaboration from affected states, the land management plans that were amended in 2015 regarding greater sagegrouse conservation in the states of Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming, and Utah. There is no proposal to alter plans in Montana. The purpose of proposed changes EIS

Boulder Town Council August 2 by Tessa Barkan
BOULDER - The August Boulder Town Council meeting began with a report from the Park Committee. The Committee asked for approval for a number of improvements to the shed in the park, including fixing the doors, and adding means of better organization including shelving and a tool rack. Additionally, they would like to add signage for the gate off of the highway. People often walk by this entrance and do not realize it is an entrance to the park because it is unmarked. The Council responded that money has already been appropriated for improvements and approved the Committee’s plans. Next, the Park Committee members were recognized for their service to the town. Those present to accept certificates were Tina Karlsson, Sam Stout, Randy Catmull, and Ana Saunders. Community members who have volunteered but are not part of the Committee were also thanked for their service. Next, Pam Furches from the Boulder Community AlliTown Council Cont'd on page 2

Should Wayne County Analyze Its Form of Government?
Many Wayne County residents are now aware of an initiative that will be on the county's ballot in November 2018. It asks: "Shall a study committee be appointed to consider and possibly recommend a change in Wayne County's form of government?" This is not a vote to change county government. It simply proposes a citizen committee to analyze all the options and recommend - or not recommend - a possible change. Speculation about the possible effects or costs of a change is getting way ahead of ourselves. Unless the study committee recommends a change, there is no change on the ballot. Maps and data about other counties, such as those that have appeared recently, can be helpful during the study committee's work to determine which experiences from other counties are relevant in Wayne County. This is also not a vote about who currently holds public office. The study committee will discuss what offices might or might not be good for the county, without regard for who is or will be in them. The November question is simply whether citizens think the county is diverse enough and growing enough to make a study of county government worthwhile. If the study committee is approved, its duty is to determine whether "government in the county could be strengthened, made more clearly responsive or accountable to the people, or significantly improved in the interest of economy and efficiency?" (Utah Code 17-52a) The study committee can take up to a year to complete its work. All its meetings must be open to the public. The five sponsors of the ballot initiative are permitted to appoint the study committee. However, they are constrained by law to appoint a committee that is "broadly representative" of the county. As the fall approaches, we will ask county residents for nominations for possible members of the study committee. The goal is for a fair and balanced analysis, as required by law and common sense. The Wayne County Taxpayers Association has put a number of informative documents on its web site - www.wcta.biz. You can access them by clicking on "Government Study" in the menu bar. This is a long and complex process. We hope all citizens in Wayne County will give it careful, serious consideration. And we want to emphasize that if the study committee recommends a government change, you'll have a chance to vote on that question in a future election. We should all educate ourselves about the forms of county government. There is no risk in doing this, for we'll surely learn something. We may come up with something better, or we may leave things as they are. But if we don't ask, we'll never know. Board of Directors, Wayne County Taxpayers Association
"Garkane Giveaways" Response
Regarding Lavoy Tolbert’s letter in last week’s paper titled Garkane Giveaways, we would like to provide a short response. Last April, Mr. Tolbert was invited and attended our Garkane Board meeting. In the meeting, he presented his concerns and the Board and Staff attempted to answer his questions. We welcomed his input and heard his concerns and we provided him well over an hour of meeting time for presentation and answers. We are disappointed that Mr. Tolbert continues to be frustrated with what we believe to be an open and transparent process. We believe Mr. Tolbert’s main concern is… “why does Garkane actively participate in community and charitable giving when that money could be better used to reduce costs and electric rates.” In our recent Garkane quarterly newsletter, we explained why this concern is not valid and on the contrary, our highly supported scholarship program is in fact, not funded by money that if reapplied, would reduce electric rates. The reason is, the funding for these charitable giving efforts comes from an account which is called “unclaimed capital credits.” Utah law H.B. 255 states that if unclaimed capital credits are not used locally for financial assistance to a school, non-profit organization, or community organization, it must be sent back to the state of Utah. In answer to Mr. Tolbert’s question, prior to 2016 scholarships were still funded by unclaimed capital credits, but the passing of H.B 266 only expanded the scope of how unclaimed capital credits could be spent to include donations to non-profit organizations and community organizations. Management and the Board of Directors of Garkane Energy feel that these funds are better used in our local communities. Over the years, we have seen hundreds of our members and their youth take advantage of this fund. By law, this money cannot be applied to reduce Garkane’s operating costs. The capital credit allocation and retirement process is a federal law that allows cooperatives to operate as a non-profit organization. Mr. Tolbert points out some discrepancies in our reporting, namely that we awarded $46,000 in scholarships between 2017 and 2018, but only funded $29,799 from unclaimed capital credits. While all scholarship funding does come from unclaimed capital credits, not all scholarships that are awarded actually get claimed. A lot of students go on Church missions and defer their scholarship, and some don’t end up claiming their scholarship for unknown reasons. So, at the time of reporting, most 2018 scholarships hadn’t yet been claimed, but will most likely be claimed within the next 2 to 3 years. Presumably, Mr. Tolbert is of the opinion the discrepancy was because scholarships are being funded from operating sources, but this is not the case. As a Cooperative owned by the members we serve, we take great pride in being open, honest and transparent. Garkane’s yearly independent financial audits are available upon request. We welcome any of our members to take a look… and to attend one of our Board meetings. We understand that not all our members will agree with every practice or policy Garkane administers, but we are in agreement that we will always listen and seriously consider new and better ideas to better serve our members. To this end, we are supportive that Mr. Tolbert is engaged and concerned about the cooperative’s operations. Sincerely, Dan McClendon/CEO, Garkane Energy Cooperative

ance presented a framed copy of the Boulder Town photo taken in May 2017, which was modeled after a town photo taken in the early 1900s. The BCA gifted the 2017 photo to the town of Boulder to hang in the community center. Next, plans for the General Plan update were discussed. The current proposal was to bring in a professional planner, Lee Nellis, to facilitate a planning workshop entitled “We Just Want to be Boulder,” which would be held on a Saturday in September. The workshop will be open to the public with the aim of taking ideas from the winter Planning Commission Community Work Groups and opening them up to further discussion. The workshop process would create consensus about issues pertinent to the General Plan, which will then be brought to the Town Council with the ultimate goal of updating the Plan and then creating new ordinances. The town aims for as many people as possible to be included. More information will be sent out through pegboard and fliers will be put up. The planner’s fee to be paid by the town would be $2,500. A discussion with public input ensued, and it was asked that alternative solutions be looked into to save the town money, such as turning to the Rural Planning Group, League of Cities and
Towns, or other planners. It was also desired that someone be found who is more familiar with the town. Others stated that these other services that were mentioned are no longer available or would not be sufficient, and that a third party facilitator is necessary to bring together people’s voices and transform these ideas into a legal document. Having this facilitator would also make the process easier down the line, as there will be less work needed to transform ideas into information to give to the town attorney. It was also mentioned that, while a budget of approximately $10,000 had been set aside for General Plan updates, little to no money has actually been spent on the project thus far, as the Rural Planning Group did the initial work for free and the follow up groups this past winter were made entirely of community volunteers. A motion was proposed for the planning committee to be able to go ahead and choose a facilitator to help them continue this process, based on their research into who would be best for the job. This motion was approved. Next came an update on the Wildfire Preparedness Plan. The town’s goal is to create a Wildfire Committee and subsequently a Wildfire Plan. There will be a meeting held on 8/13 at 6pm at the Community Center to provide educational information and form the Wildfire Committee. A call will go out to the public through Pegboard asking
for volunteers who would be interested in joining this Committee. The sooner a plan can be put together, the more grant money would be available. The aim of the Committee will be to work with community members to decrease fire dangers and identify ways to create defensible space on private and public property. A conversation about the new construction site roll-off ordinance then ensued. A proposed ordinance has been drafted by the town attorney. Most towns in the county, as well as the county itself, have ordinances which require building, demolition, and some remodeling sites to have roll-offs of their own and haul off construction materials to the county dump. As the Boulder construction pit has been filling up, this ordinance would help save space. In terms of enforcement, it was suggested that the roll-off requirement must be included in receiving a building permit, and that there must be someone present whenever the dump is open to inspect incoming loads and make sure they are in compliance. The proposed ordinance will be posted soon, and public comments will be accepted. A vote on the ordinance will occur at the September Town Council meeting. The Boulder Town Council meets the first Thursday of each month at 7pm at the Community Center.

At this year's Bryce Canyon Half Marathon, 800 runners gathered to participate in the 13.1 mile race that goes through Bryce Canyon National Park and ends at Cannonville Town Park. Three thousand dollars in cash prizes were awarded to the top five female and male runners. BRYCE - Commencing in Bryce Canyon City, runners enjoyed a stunning sunrise show with the western sky lit pink. Temperatures in the mid-fifties made the July 14th start perfect for the 800 runners. The newly “certified” course for distance and elevation enables runners to certify their times and qualify for other events like Boston Marathon Races and New York Marathon Races. From Bryce Canyon City the 13.1 mile course goes through Bryce Canyon National Park, along Scenic Byway 12, past Bryce Valley farms, then over hill and dell to the finish at the Cannonville Town Park. Eight water stations staffed with local volunteers offered water and Gatorade to runners along the 13.1 mile course and during the 5k race. Three thousand dollars in cash prizes were awarded to the top 5 Female and Male runners- that’s some good money for coming out to run in a beautiful place.
The fastest runner was Bashash Walio, Gunnison, with a time of 1:05:39 - Yes that is one hour, five minutes for 13.1 miles. The top female runner was Diana Mitchell, Cedar City, with a time of 1:23:49. Local runners Barlow Pace of Loa was first in his division, 1:25:55. Rawley Burningham, Panguitch, with a time of 1:34:53. And Emily Screpf of Kanab with 1:39:44. Congratulations to all the Half Marathon runners. The 5k hosted 150 runners starting from Cannonville Park, out and back - Nate Hainswork of Lindon took top honors with a 20:37, and Anna Powell with 25:08.

have a pre-packed Grab and Go Bag ready for quick evacuations? The recommendation is: one bag for each person, light enough to be able to run with it (could be a carryon suitcase with wheels), and stored somewhere convenient to grab on your way out the door. Things to include: • Bottled water and iodine tablets for purifying water that is not from a safe, public supply source. • At least 7 days worth of prescription medications • Personal needs like extra eyeglasses, quality firstaid kit, necessary toiletries, TP, hand-wipes, a whistle, N95 masks, matches/cigarette lighter, scissors, absorbent towel • Energy bars, nuts, seeds, granola—small but filling foods • Cash for a few days—small bills and a roll of quarters • Zip-lock baggie with important photocopied documents: driver’s license, social security and medical insurance cards, will, power of attorney, marriage and other certificates, deeds, credit card info, medication lists, important medical info, emergency contact phone numbers, etc. • Cell phone charger or portable battery pack for the
cell phone you will probably grab • LED flashlight and handcranked or battery operated radio with extra batteries • Multipurpose tool that includes a knife and can opener • At least one change of clothing, items for warmth, rain gear and boots. • Keep in mind that you may well have to carry this bag, so it is useless if too heavy for you, however important supplemental items include: • Hygiene gloves, soap, duct tape, ziplock bags, pad of paper and pens, a baggie of baking soda, lightweight space blanket, extra house and car keys, and don’t forget baby or pet supplies. Water is the heaviest item, also the most essential. You need at least a half gallon of water per person per day. Most people can manage without much food for a fairly long time. If you can carry more, add things like dried meat or fruits, cans of soup or meat, a small stove and fuel, mess kit, plastic sheeting, plastic heavy-duty trash bags, work gloves, small tools, a tube tent, map of the area, maybe a pack of cards or other game— especially for children. Get clever about how to package things in the smallest amount of space. Ideally you would have a grab and go bag at work and in your car as well
as at home. A means of purifying water is essential. To be effective, both iodine tablets and unscented household liquid bleach (often suggested) require 5.25 to 6% of sodium hypochlorite as their only active ingredient. Boiling of water is probably the safest means of purification, or using a combination of methods. With bleach the suggestion is 1/8th teaspoon per gallon of water, stir and let stand for 30 minutes. Repeat if it doesn’t retain a slight bleach order. Bleach loses potency over time, especially if the bottle has been opened. Grab and Go kits are available online, but you still need to add all personalized items. Probably you can put together a kit that suits your needs, from local sources, for less money than you would spend to purchase a kit. However if you go to http://www. waynecountyutah.org/services/emergency-services / and click on Emergency Preparedness you will find links to sites offering both advice and kits for sale. Opening night of the Fair (Aug. 15th), at the Loa Park from 5 to 7 PM, there will be a Code Red sign-up and CERT recruitment booth, as well as Red Cross, EMS, and Clinic booths.

Do-It-Yourself Legal Forms
t H e
by Jeffery J. McKenna Having been an estate planning attorney for over twenty years, I have had many people ask, “Can I do my own estate planning documents?” I don’t hesitate with my answer. “Yes, definitely.” And then I add, “You can also deliver your own babies, many people do, or build your own house or repair your own cars.” My point is that we generally go to others who are much more trained and experienced than us to perform certain services. An avalanche of do-ityourself legal forms has descended upon us lately, spun out by people anxious to make money “helping” you. The fact is that such forms can be extremely risky to use. The most popular forms are "endof-life documents" -- wills, estate planning forms, living wills, or "delegation documents," giving certain tasks to another person when you're incapacitated or otherwise unavailable. These include powers of attorney (medical and financial) and naming a guardian for minor children. There are some advantages to using do-it-yourself forms. You can save legal fees and can sometimes handle a matter faster than a lawyer would. Forms are usually in plain English rather than "legalese." They can be customized by striking out irrelevant informa-
tion or adding extra clauses. However, there are many more disadvantages. The biggest pitfall is a false sense of security. It looks so simple -just pick a form, gather information and fill in the blanks. But few forms come with enough explanation to assure the user that he or she is using the instrument in the right way. And many "legal forms" are contracts, with power to bind you to a commitment you may not want. Sometimes it is just plain foolhardy to use do-it-yourself Estate Planning kits. It could cost far more to unravel the problems they can cause than it would to hire a good Estate Planning attorney in the first place. One size does not fit all, particularly in regard to Estate Planning. Another reason to look beyond the “do-it-yourself” forms is if you own enough assets to have estate or income tax issues. Few middle class clients know whether they need tax planning or not because they don't know what property is counted or how to value it. Examine tax issues in detail, or consult an Estate Planning attorney who can look at your individual situation and let you know your individual issues. Legal forms should make your life easier, not harder. Use them appropriately, and don't let your quest to avoid

Rushing to work, I was driving too fast and as a result was pulled over by the highway patrol. The state trooper noticed that my shirt had the name of a local high school on it. "I teach math there," I explained. The trooper smiled, and said, "Okay, here's a problem. A teacher is speeding down the highway at 16 mph over the limit. At $12 for every mile, plus $40 court costs, plus the rise in her insurance, what's her total cost?" I replied, "Taking that total, subtracting the low salary I receive, multiplying by the number of kids who hate math, then adding to that the fact that none of us would be anywhere without teachers, I'd say zero."

So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?
Ailments
Two young boys were discussing their ailments together in the children's ward. "Are you medical or surgical?" asked the first, who had been in the ward for a week." "I don't know what you mean," replied the second. "It's simple," said the first. "Were you sick when you came in here? Or did they make you sick after you got here?"

Three old men went into the pro shop after playing 18 holes of golf. The pro asked, "Did you guys have a good game today?" The first old guy said, " I had the most riders ever. I had five." The second old guy said, "I had 7 riders, the same as last time." The last old man said, "I beat my old record. I had 12 riders today." After they went into the locker room, another golfer who had heard the old guys talking about their game went to the pro and said, "I've been playing golf for a long time and thought I knew all the terminology of the game, but what's a rider?" The pro said, "A rider is when you hit the ball far enough toactually get in the golf cart and ride to it."

FYI PanguItch
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com It looks like the monsoon season may be over. It sure was great while it lasted. It is supposed to warm up this next week, which is just what we don’t need. The days are still long, even though we have lost an hour of daylight since the end of June. The monsoons came a little early this year, and it looks like they will be over somewhat early. I hope you enjoyed the little rest last week because August is loaded with a lot of events that will be going on. Tomorrow is the start of the Heritage Arts Festival up at Panguitch Lake. Tomorrow there will be a music and storytelling workshops that will start at 4:00 pm at the LDS Chapel. At 6:00, a Dutch oven dinner and at 7:00 the square dancing will begin. On Saturday Aug. 11 it will be an all-day affair, starting at 10am and it will run till 7pm in the evening: Pioneer Games, Arts and Crafts Demos, live entertainment, and all day long food venders will be there. The entertainment will feature Clive Romney, Lyndsey and Russell Wulfenstein, and Adam and Deborah Crimshaw. It should be a fun time, and you can get away from some of the heat, up at the Lake. Bring your pole. On a sad note, on Monday the 13th over in Tropic, there will be a fund raiser for Geni Senary and there will be a Fajita dinner. Geni learned a
few weeks after delivering her fourth child, a beautiful boy, that she was diagnosed with a very rare liver disorder called Budd Chiari. Geni will need a liver transplant, and the fund raiser is to offset some of the medical expenses. There will also be a couple of auctions going on during dinner. If you can’t make it to the dinner, donations can be made at any State Bank of Southern Utah, in Geni’s name. Attention all school bus drivers! You have a mandatory meeting at BV high school on Tuesday the 14th. You will have to take the physical fitness test before or after the meeting. The meeting starts at 6:30. Curtis is springing for pizza, so come early if you are hungry. Then on the 15th it will be welcome back to school night at the Elementary School. It is sponsored by the Drug Coalition and will start at 5:00 pm. There will be burgers and hot dogs and games to play. The Panguitch Lions club possibly will have sight testing machines there to test the kid’s eye sight. Can you believe it? School starts next Monday on the 20th, oh where did the summer go? Also on Wednesday, the County Fair starts, and I hope you received a program because I don’t have enough time to list all of the great events that are taking place. Saturday is the biggie, with
events starting at 9:00am and running to 7pm with a dance at the Panguitch Drug Store’s parking lot, if you have any energy left. The next week it will be the Bryce ATV Rally starting on Wednesday the 22nd and running for four days. You still have time to sign up for these great rides, to see some of the country that you didn’t even know was there. Check with the City office for more information on the rides. And for the last, but not least, it will be the annual Garfield Memorial Health Care Foundation Annual Fundraising Dinner. It will be held on Thursday the 30th, and it will again be held at Ebenezer’s Barn and Grill, out a Ruby’s. It will start at 6:00 pm and dress is casual and a buffet dinner will be served. As usual, there will be a live auction, silent auction, and door prizes. It is a fun evening with a lot of great items for sale. For some reason the pies are the number one prize that really gets the bidding up. For more information for the dinner and where to purchase tickets, call Amber Mathew @ 676-1262. If that isn’t enough to keep you busy, the PHS sport programs will be underway with baseball, volleyball, and cross country starting up. The Baseball team got underway this last weekend down at Valley. The Bobcats won their opener against Tinic, 9-0, in
a second game against host Valley. The Cats came up on the short end, 6-2, giving up 6 unearned runs. On Saturday, they lost a close one to last year’s champs Piute by one run. A sign of the times, out at Widtsoe where the Frandsen’s and Hatches have their cabins, there is a no trespassing sign. For many years some of the property in that area was owned by the Frandsen’s since the 1920s. In almost 100 years, this is the first fence we have seen; hopefully it will be the last. From the SLC Tribune; Some Democrats are demanding that Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke explain how a Canadian mining Co. has snatched up a dozen mining claims in the Grand Staircase Monument. Such actions aren’t permitted, they argue because the President didn’t have the authority to shrink the monument in the first place, an assertion at the heart of an ongoing court battle. The President carved out 2 million acres from the Grand Staircase and the Bears Ears Monuments, spawning instant law suits from environment and wildlife groups, stating the President doesn’t have the power to override the 112 year old Antiquities Act.

I’m glad Congressman Stewart came out to enjoy first-hand the beauty we soak in around us every day. I’m inclined to agree that the whole area is a “park,” at least in terms of its utter and literal awesomeness. I’m glad he made the effort to hike out to Lower Calf Creek Falls and talk to more people. I wish he could have spent more time immersing himself in the whole area he wants to designate as a new National Park. If he really thinks promoting a new “Mighty 6” will be so much better than the mere Mighty 5, he really ought to start out by driving it. The driver has a different experience of a trip than any of the passengers, who are half paying attention, digging through coolers for drinks, looking at their screens. Rep. Stewart ought to sneak back and drive himself from Panguitch to Torrey, and take a few side excursions down Burr Trail and Hells Backbone Road. On the return trip, he should set a timer. Boulder to Panguitch in two hours. Boulderites know you can get to Panguitch in two hours or under if a)the highway is clear and you can drive at or slightly over the speed limit the entire way, or b) the highway has traffic, and you are able to pass them and hit the gas in between RV caravans and slower drivers who WILL NOT pull over in passing lanes or pullouts. As such, winter trips to Panguitch, barring the occasional bad weather, are easier and faster. During “the season,” you really need to allot an additional 15-30 minutes if you have an appointment you’re trying to make. Observing tourists on the road, a third of them drive too fast to actually see and enjoy the experience. The other twothirds are moseying along the highway 10-30 mph below the speed limit. This is actually great for tourists, taking their time. But it doesn’t help those of us who live here and are trying to get to work, get to the dentist, or just get home from an all-day shopping trip in time to fix dinner for the family.
If Rep. Stewart ever had the same experience of stopping in the parking lot that is Highway 12 between Hogsback and the Kiva Koffeehouse during a holiday weekend or Spring Break, he would maybe think “we need to expand the roads.” Brilliant, but not what you really want in a scenic canyon area. Stewart’s only concept of tourism is industrial tourism. Just open it all up and bring in the hordes. Our county commissioners seem OK with that, as long as they can add a little industry (mineral extraction) to the mix. I’m wondering if they’ve considered our highway situation then, with fastmoving, double-trailer, min-
eral-hauling behemoths—yes, the ones that crack our windshields— with the slow-moving and RV-driving tourists down our very nice, but narrow and twisty Highway 12? I can’t speak for Escalante, nor for Henrieville, Tropic, or Cannonville. Certainly not for Panguitch. But I will speak for Boulder: We do NOT want to become Moab or Springdale. Adding another 1-3 million vehicles down Highway 12, speeding through our town, is NOT going to enhance our way of life. Those who actually depend on the tourism business here have found their niche in appealing to low-impact, quiet-use travelers who come, look, spend plenty of
money, and then leave without too much trace. Stewart wants to turn our area into a Disneyland of volume tourism. In so doing, he turns our towns and our only travel corridor into something neither were built to accommodate. Creating “Escalante Canyons National Park” may be Stewart’s dream, but it’ll be our nightmare. I hope this doesn’t become one of those “if they’re for it, then I must be against it” arguments. Please. This is not a Republican idea or a Democrat idea, or a good ol’boy idea or a newcomer idea. This is just a bad idea. For all of us.

Challenging Your Traffic Ticket by Megan Mustoe When being charged with a traffic ticket, always remember to respect the police officer in your words and actions: do not make any unpredictable movements and express your frustration after the police officer leaves the scene. Once you have the citation, read it closely to determine if you need to call the court or follow any other instructions. If you choose to contest the traffic ticket, consider the following approaches or consult your local attorney. If you don’t contest your traffic ticket, you can face increased car insurance premiums, points on your license leading to a revoked license, and even jail time if your traffic violation is linked to more severe crimes. Why were you pulled over? Under Utah law, officers may stop any person in a public space if the officer has a reasonable, articulable suspicion to believe the person has committed, is in the act of committing, or is attempting to commit a crime. Avoiding where a known police officer is located or having out-of-state plates is not considered a reasonable, articulable suspicion. Challenge the officer’s subjective conclusion. Subjective conclusions are based on personal feelings or opinions. “Driving too fast for conditions” is a subjective opinion whereas “driving 95 mph in a 65 mph zone” could be more objective. Interestingly, in Utah, you can challenge a speeding ticket if you were reasonable and prudent under existing conditions while you sped. This leaves even more room to challenge the officer’s subjective conclusion. Challenge the officer’s observations. Whose version of the facts are correct? Yours or the officer’s? Are there witnesses? You can increase doubt to the officer’s opinion by creating a diagram of the scene including your location and the officer’s location, provide pictures of the intersection, traffic signal, key objects, or

the other vehicle. Mistake of fact. If you make an honest and reasonable error, the judge may consider the circumstances were beyond your control. For example, if a temporary speed limit sign was removed or fell over or a stop sign is hidden due to a fallen branch or the pedestrian crosswalk markers are extremely faded, you could have your case dismissed. Legally justified. If you offer an additional fact to justify your otherwise unlawful action, you may successfully dismiss your case. If you are driving too slow in the left-passing lane, you could argue you were preparing to make a left turn and there was not a turning lane. Driving slow in the left lane, alone, is unlawful. Making a left turn without a turning lane is within the law. There is no other way to make a left turn in that location without being in the left lane. These types of defenses can be very successful because you are adding information to the case rather than contradicting the officer. Necessary to avoid harm. To claim this defense, you must explain why you were forced to violate a traffic law in order to avoid a serious or immediate danger to yourself or others. Your own inattention or personal needs are not valid reasons to use this defense. For example, missing a stop sign because you are talking on your cell phone is not a valid reason to violate the traffic law. Swerving out of your lane to avoid being hit by a tailgating car, deer, person, bovine, or other unexpected obstacle could meet this standard. Try to follow all traffic laws and posted signs. But if you are unlucky, consider these options when contesting your ticket. Disclaimer. As always, my column is not legal advice, instead merely insight into the law and legal profession.

Patty Ann Morgan
PANGUITCH - Patty Ann Owens Morgan, 62 of Panguitch, passed away July 31, 2018 after many years of fighting a courageous battle with Cerebellar Ataxia. She was born September 17, 1955 in Panguitch to Boyd S and Renee Porter Owens. She married Dempsey Morgan, August 11, 1979 in Las Vegas, NV. She was raised in both Escalante and Phoenix. She graduated from Camelback High School in Phoenix. After she and Dempsey were married, the family moved to Panguitch where their six children were raised. Patty worked at area convenience stores and had a great love for her customers. She had a genuine way of letting everyone she came into contact with feel they were special. When her health deteriorated, it was very difficult for her to quit her job and not have regular contact with her customers. Her family will remember her most for her smile, her love of Mexican food, her chili rellenos and salsa, her garden and making sure that no one left her house hungry. She enjoyed crocheting, crossword puzzles and a good gossip magazine. The family learned early on that mom had her own "strategy" when it came to rummy, she showed no mercy, no matter the age. But what she loved most was when her kids were all under the same roof. A special thank you to our amazing dad who faithfully took care of Mom and did everything that he could to make her smile, even on the hardest days. She is survived by her husband, Dempsey of Panguitch; children: Brandi (Randy) Dickinson, Panguitch; Michelle (Cade) Crofts, Panguitch; Matthew (Corynn) Morgan, Star, ID; Julianne (Mark) Pillow, Draper; Charles Morgan, Panguitch; Savannah (Nephi) Carlisle, Hyrum; 17 grandchildren; siblings: Karen (Kenny) Hoppes, Hurricane; Tonya (Rex) Johnson, Washington City; Brian Owens, Panguitch; Steve (Lela) King, Richfield. Cremation services have taken place. The family will hold a Celebration of Life on Saturday, August 4, 2018 in Panguitch. Funeral Directors: Magleby Mortuary, Richfield, Salina and Manti.

Wanderlust Cowgirl Coffee owner Stacie Van Tassell and her kids Zoson and Amalia, who also occasionally help out at the store. Wanderlust
Cont'd from page 1
-slightly sweet, buttery, like a Danish dough.” Van Tassell has a friend who owns a Czech bakery in Midway, and that’s where she got the idea for offering something a little different. Wanderlust offers both traditional fruit-filled Kolaches, and a “Texan style” with pulled pork, or breakfast style with sausage, egg and cheese, and occasionally other specials like ham and cheese. The fruit varieties have the filling on top, and the savory versions are cute little puffy things with the filling stuffed inside. Van Tassel and her family moved to Panguitch from Lehi a couple of years ago. The daughter of Kenny Hall of Cannonville (the locally famous songster and saddle maker) Van Tassell said she’d been visiting the area for 20 years, and she and her husband finally decided to make the move here. “We didn’t want to raise our kids [Zoson and Amalia] in Lehi,” said Van Tassell. Stacie and her husband Alonzo—who runs a trucking company—pur-
chased a few acres north of town and the family has just moved into a new home they built there. A business name like “Wanderlust Cowgirl Coffee,” must have a story behind it. “A girlfriend of mine calls me her ‘Wanderlust,’” said Van Tassell, “Meaning a seeker of adventures, not of things. It’s a German word, and Germans often see the sign and stop and ask me if I am German. It translates well.” As for the cowgirl part, Van Tassell says, “I’m also
a horse person, I’ve rodeoed all my life—barrel racing and roping.” Currently the Van Tassells have four horses and a mini donkey, named Louise. “Donkeys are hilarious, they’re a good alarm system,” said Van Tassell. As for the coffee part, Van Tassell has a serious coffee ethic and education. She’s had several barrista training courses—one, coincidentally, in Germany. She was initially in Germany for a tile roofing training, and the barrista course turned up as an opportunity, so she did that too.

So, to ask a real barrista, what does it take to make a good cup of coffee? “The difference is in the beans,” said Van Tassell. Wanderlust receives shipments of freshly roasted coffee every two days from Mill Creek Roasting Company in Salt Lake City. “We went up there and we did a couple ‘cuppings,’ and ended up with Ethiopian and Guatemalan coffees in a blend,” said Van Tassell. These are offered in light, medium or dark roast. Wanderlust offers a variety of black, herbal and other hip varieties of teas such as Matcha for those with that preference. Van Tassell has taken to her new business and venue with enthusiasm. “I love it, I meet some of the neatest people—it’s a privilege to meet some of the people I’ve been able to meet.” Wanderlust Cowgirl Coffee is located at 575 E. Center Street in Panguitch. Open daily: Mon-Wed 6am-2pm. Thurs-Sat. 6am-5pm and on Sunday 7:30am–2pm. Custom orders, catering, and delivery available. Phone 801-5922252. —Insider

investments are the foundation for rural prosperity, public health, and the environment. This year, USDA Rural Development has more than $4 billion in direct loans available now to help rural communities build or upgrade water infrastructure. This is a substantial increase from last year. In 2017, USDA helped more than 2.5 million rural residents get access to upgraded water and wastewater systems. I am excited to see how many more people we can help can help here in Utah to add to that number. Over the past two years USDA has invested more than $27 million in water/wastewater infrastructure for several small communities throughout Utah. For example, last year we provided the Spanish Valley Water and Sewer Improvement District with a loan and grant combination totaling $4,780,000 to make critical improvements to the drinking water systems in the towns they serve. By making these developments, which include construction of a new water tank and replacing water distribution lines, they can meet the needs of growing rural communities and, more importantly, ensure the water in our desert towns runs cleanly and reliably. USDA Rural Development’s water loans and grants help rural communities overcome economic disadvantages to provide safe and affordable drinking water and sanitation. The funds are available for construction and expansion of drinking water and wastewater infrastructure through grants and loans with reasonable rates and terms. Water districts and rural communities can apply for USDA loans electronically using the interactive RDApply tool on the USDA Rural Development website (rd.usda. gov). Also, our state and field offices are great resources to use during the application process. We have eight offices throughout the state to serve you and you may find contact information on our website: www.rd.usda.gov/ut. USDA is eager to partner with you in this effort to improve and modernize water infrastructure in Utah’s rural communities.
