2022 GSENM Artist-in-Residence Forges a Connection Between Art, Advocacy, and Education

Sept. 12, 2022 GARFIELD COUNTY At their September 12 meeting, all the Garfield County Commissioners congratulated Garfield Memorial Hospital Foundation on their recent fundraising dinner.

Commissioner David Tebbs reported a call regarding Antimony being “overrun” by ATVs over the holiday, with riders with no helmets, etc. Tebbs said this problem isn’t isolated to Antimony and Sheriff Danny Perkins concurred. Perkins said he’s approached the state for resources, but the state parks themselves are struggling to manage the same issues in the parks. He said the legislature is looking at mandatory licensing on ATVs, which would at least enable identification of problem riders. Perkins said there are thousands of ATVs every weekend, throughout the county, and that most people are respectful riders, except for those few. Regarding the

extending culverts, and placing new guardrail east of Torrey and into Capitol Reef National Park.

Paving activities will be occurring in sections of Capitol Reef National Park through this week. Multiple delays of up to 15 minutes are possible through this section of the project. Please note that there may be parking restrictions on the shoulders near Hickman Bridge and Grand Wash trailheads as crews work in those areas.

Paving of the highway leading east into Hanksville and to the Hanksville Airport is now complete, however, workers are installing guardrail and new highway signs.

No delays are anticipated.

What to Expect • Schedule: Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.

• Traffic: As you travel the SR-24 project corridor from Torrey through Capitol Reef National Park you may encounter multiple alternating one-way traffic with pilot cars and/or flagging operations. There are a variety of construction activities spread throughout the areas. Due to the

narrow shoulders and large construction equipment, work space is limited.

• Multiple delays of up to 15 minutes are expected from Torrey through Capitol Reef National Park.

• Access: Please use extreme caution when entering the roadway from side roads to verify traffic is moving in your desired direction.

Nearby residents may notice an increase in construction related noise, vibration, and dust.

Project Background The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is rehabilitating pavement and improving shoulders in several areas on SR-24 between Torrey and Hanksville. New guardrail and drainage features are also included in the project. In total, the project will involve improvements to approximately 23 miles of roadway.

GSENM Artist-in-Residence Exhibit Will be on Display at Escalante Interagency Visitor Center Until Sept. 25

Courtesy Bureau of Land Management

Ten years of plein air paintings created by the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument's Artists-inResidence will be on display at the Escalante Interagency Visitor Center from September 12 - 25, 2022.

ESCALANTE - Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM) visitors are encouraged to stop by the Escalante Interagency Visitor Center to see ten years of plein air paintings created by the Monument's Artists-in-Residence (AiR) throughout the past decade. The exhibit will be on display from Sept. 12 through Sept. 25, 2022, at 755 West Main St., Escalante, Utah.

“The Monument was one of the first Conservation Lands units to develop an Artist-in-Residence program,” said GSENM Artist-in-Residence Coordinator Allysia Angus. “It is hard to believe that it has been 10 years now that we have been hosting artists to come and paint the incredible landscapes here. It is always a pleasure and treat to see how the artists interpret this special place and share their passion for art and public lands with others.”

The program is a partnership-based model because the residency is co-sponsored with the local Escalante Canyons Art Festival and with Glen Canyon Conservancy, the non-profit that supports the monument in a host of ways, including running visitor center bookstores. Together, sponsors select one artist resident annually to live and work in and around Escalante, Utah, while serving as an ambassador for GSENM. “The majesty of rocky formations and fragile foliage highlighted by the azure horizon turned my AiR at Grand StaircaseEscalante National Monument into an earthly gift from heaven,” said 2019 Artist-in-Residence and Mt. Pleasant, Utah, resident Carol Johansen.

[Insider addition:] On Aug. 30, 2022, the Bureau of Land Management announced the arrival of this year’s Artist-in-Residence, Claire Giordano, who will end her 4-week residency on Sept. 25 to coincide with the last weekend of the Escalante Canyons Art Festival.

“We loved that our two dogs had very comfortable accommodations inside the building but could easily go outside as well. The staff was very friendly towards us and the dogs!”

“My newly adopted dog escaped and was lost for six weeks in the Torrey area. After she was caught, I placed her at CCAW to help her decompress. The clean and friendly

environment helped her feel safe with humans and interact with happy dogs and cats. I highly recommend folks board their dogs at CCAW.” It’s not always easy leaving your cat or dog to be cared for by someone else, but sometimes there just isn’t another option. CCAW makes sure that cats and dogs left in our care will be given kind and attentive care while at the facility. Dogs will be given opportunities to play outside in a fenced area or go for walks on the facility grounds.

Food for Thought: We’re lucky in Boulder to have a

local food scene. The harvest fest really promotes this. Local food security, in my opinion, is really at the heart of a healthy community.

Food grown locally is more fresh, more nutritious, and strengthens our community’s local economy and resilience.

—Elena Hughes, Boulder Skills Foundation member and owner of Five Forks Farm Food for Thought

Cont'd from page 1

Wayne counties, our local food culture remains strong; we’re lucky (even though we might not call it luck sometimes!) that the old joke of sneaking extra zucchinis onto your neighbor’s porch is still alive and well here.

So what do you do when you receive ten zucchini from your neighbor when you already have fifteen in the fridge and another ten coming on tomorrow? Will you freeze them? Feed them to the chickens until the chickens are tired of them too? Or maybe you want to can zucchini pickles but can’t quite remember how? This year’s Harvest Fest will feature a Canning Intro and Refresher, taught by Paige Collette of Cache Canning, great for newbies and seasoned canners alike. The class will be hands-on, giving you more confidence to can your garden surplus safely and enjoy it year-round.

And in how many places are people still able to buy beef, pork, chicken, eggs, turkey, duck and lamb raised within just a few miles? If you want to take it a step further, consider taking the three-day Animal Processing Workshop with Jeff Sanders of Desert DAWN. Connect to your food sources and learn about the age-old ways of processing animals in a holistic and sustainable manner.

Participants will learn to humanely slaughter, skin, eviscerate, butcher and cook a sheep, as well as learn how to process sinew, bones, hooves and hide into usable items.

News from Wayne County It's Practically Fall in Wayne County

PHS Sports Sidelines

Cats Volleyball win against Kanab Cowboys at Sophomore Tournament and Baseball playoffs begin Sept. 30

Are the Cats on fire or what? All three sports teams had another great week, starting with the Lady Cats volleyball team. The Cats hosted Diamond Ranch, and it wasn’t much of a contest.

The Ranch didn’t score even ten points in any of their three games, as the Cats pretty well crushed them.

The real excitement came on Saturday with the Sophomore Tournament. The Cats swept their way into the finals by not losing a game.

They were playing against the Kanab Cowboys—who have a freshman who is really tall—and they looked unbeatable. The first game, the Cowboys were playing well; we missed six serves and lost eighteen to twentyfive. However, not to hang their heads, the Cats took it to the Cowboys, 25 to 19, in the second game. In the third game, the ladies got off to a great start, leading 5-0; the Cowboys rallied but could not get any closer than

two points at any time. There were some controversial calls in the games that went against the Cats, but that only made them stronger. In the last game, the Cats' serving was really something and so was their passing. They were clearly the better team, and they won the Championship with a last game victory, 15 to 11. This tournament was made up of 1-2-3A teams, so the competition was first rate.

The volleyball team goes out to Milford for a game on the 21st, and the next night, they will be hosting these same Kanab Cowboys; it should be a really good game.

Come on out and watch some really good team sports.

Next week, they will host another 2A team, South Sevier, in Panguitch on the 27th and a home game against the mighty Piute T-Birds on October 5th. Richfield will be the Cats' final home game, and it will be on October 13.

The Bobcats Baseball team ran into a bump in the

road last week with a loss to Bryce Valley, but they came back and redeemed themselves with a win over last year's champs, Piute. The Cats last home game will be against Green River on the 23rd. I told you last week the baseball season was coming to an end; well, the first round of the playoffs will be held at Spanish Fork on the 30th. The quarter finals will also be held at Spanish Fork on October 4th, and the finals will be held down at Dixie on October 7th and 8. This was way too short of a season.

The cross country season is going along real well, with the girls winning the meet in Milford last week and the boys taking 2nd. A number of the runners went up to a meet at BYU and did really well. It was a 1A-6A meet, and there were two hundred runners in each heat. There wasn’t any team scoring, but many of the girls did well.

Next week, they will be running at Wayne on the 22nd.

WAYNE COUNTY - Currently, Wayne County has been experiencing a wide swing in weather conditions.

the day. For the other half, it's close down the hut, pack some shorts and tennis shoes, call the travel agent, and “hasta la vista, baby.”

As anyone who has to travel east and west on Highway 24 intimately knows, construction is still in constant motion. Local and state crews have become so familiar that conversations at road blocks have taken on a personal flavor: “How are the wife and kids. I heard you are expecting. Oh, you didn’t know; sorry!” Good news is that someday the road will be finished, and for the most part, it will be smooth sailing from Bicknell to Hanksville, much to the appreciation of the kids that have to rise at "zero dark thirty" to catch the Hanksville bus.

Added to the highway road construction equation is the new bridge in Caineville near Forest Simms Sleepy Hollow campground. There hasn’t been that much excitement in Caineville since Brother Brigham instructed Ehriam Hanks to plant roots there in the late 1800s—except for the occasional spring and fall flings at the Luna Mesa Café.

Beas Lewis Flats outside of Torrey is experiencing a revival of sorts, having found notoriety on “free camping” websites. From Highway 24, hundred thou$and dollar motorhomes and clicky new style campers can be seen scattered in the bushes and tucked underneath pinion trees. After dark, campfires twinkle in the twilight, a sight that keeps local volunteer firefighters awake at night.

A favored family activity this time of year in Wayne County is firewood gathering; tune up the old chainsaw, pack a picnic, load up the kids and grandma and head for the hills. There is nothing more satisfying than a pickup load of firewood and dirtyfaced kids coming down off the mountain. Soon firewood piles will be stacked high and ready for winter.

It's practically fall in Wayne County; get out and enjoy a ball game and make the most of it.

Estate Planning When Relocating to a New State

by Jeffery J. McKenna

Relocating to a new state often creates issues affecting estate planning. Many people wonder if they need a new will or trust when they move from one state to another. Although a will or trust validly executed in one state should be valid in a different state, it is a good idea to have the estate planning documents reviewed. By addressing issues related to the relocation, an individual can avoid certain problems and maximize possible benefits.

One problem that can be avoided relates to references to another state's laws. Often, estate planning documents reference a particular state's law as the governing law. Many times specific state statutes are referenced. If someone dies in a "new" state, the references in the estate planning documents to the “old” state's laws can be problematic. By executing an amendment to the trust or codicil to the will that changes the state law references to the "new" state's law, one can avoid possible problems.

Another concern that should be addressed pertains to special health care documents. In a complete estate plan, one should have legal documents pertaining to medical treatment decisions. These documents usually consist of what is commonly referred to as a "living will" (more formally titled “Directive to Physicians”) and a durable power

of attorney for medical matters.

These documents are very useful if an individual becomes incapacitated and unable to make his or her own decisions.

The documents allow one to specify what medical treatment he or she desires. Additionally, the living will directs the treating doctor or health care facility to allow the termination of life support if the individual is determined to be in a vegetative state without possibility of recovery.

Significantly, these documents are created by state law.

Many states have special provisions related to these medical treatment documents. Although a living will or power of attorney validly executed in one state should be valid in another, the doctors or health care facilities will probably be most familiar with the documents used in their state Another issue related to relocating to another state that should be addressed in order to maximize potential tax benefits pertains to community property. There are ten community property states (Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Idaho, Texas, Washington, Louisiana, Wisconsin, and Alaska—with Alaska recently adopting a form of community property ownership). Many married couples have relocated to Southern Utah from community property states. If a married couple has moved from a community property state or is

"This is disgusting!" he exclaimed. "What kind of pie do you call this?!"

The lunch lady calmly put down her ladle, looked him in the eye and snarled, "And just what does it taste like?"

"It tastes like cardboard and rubber cement!" the student cried.

O bituaries Catherine Jane Holt

CEDAR CITY - Catherine Jane Holt peacefully passed away on September 5, 2022. She was 83 years old. Her family who had held vigil by her bedside for several days surrounded her. Our family would like to extend our thanks for Cedar Health and Rehabilitation. They went above and beyond in making sure she was comfortable. In addition, Zion’s Way Health and Hospice provided our mother with the highest level of care.

Our mother lived an extraordinary life.

She was born in Denver, Colorado in 1939 to Frank and Effie Patterson. Her father was a career army man and as a result, our mother was able to see the world as a young woman. She travelled throughout Europe and went to high school in Germany and Austria.

Salzburg held a special place in her heart.

Our mother was generous, kind, loyal, intelligent and loved a good laugh.

These traits helped her in every aspect of her life. Our mother was married a few times, but she was always successful when she was not married. She did everything to insure that our family was okay. This was a variety of jobs including cleaning restrooms in the morning every week. She was a teacher’s aide, and employment counselor helping others find employment.

However, her calling came when she became a dispatcher for Garfield County Sheriff’s Department. She held additional positions as well including civil defense director and victims witness advocate. One of her biggest successes was reuniting a family when one parent took a child and was on the run. Her quick actions insured that the family was brought back together. She then worked at the Iron County Correctional Facility for several years. Her face was the first one you saw when you arrived. Mom was kind and non-judgmental to everybody in the facility. She received awards for this. After she retired, she concentrated her time on her family. We would have yearly Christmas parties where everyone would travel for fun, presents and food. She adored her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. As she got older, she received a great deal of daily help from Sage Holt and Sky Lynn Christensen.

They would help her clean and run errands for her. These are the children from her youngest son, Jeff Holt. She adored little Daniel Jay Holt as well.

It is difficult to put into words everything positive about our mom. She raised all good children who today are working, raising families, etc. This all begins with my mom. She taught us these things. She seemed to make an impact on people wherever she went.

Her parents Frank and Effie Patterson and her sisters (Gladys and Patsy (Lee) precede her in death. Her beloved companion “Rocket “also precedes her. This was her Chihuahua. Rocket was more than a pet. Rocket was her world.

Her children Matthew Hughett, Roger Hanne, Frank Holt, Raymond Holt, Robin Holt and Jeffrey Holt survive her. She also leaves behind her ex-daughter-in-law whom she adored through thick and thin. Her grandchildren include Zeke Hughett, Heather Hughett, Sam Hughett, Jordan Hanne, Tyler Hanne, Patrick Hanne, Mason Becker, Sharlene Rosas, Marc Holt, James Holt, Sarah Holt, and Catherine (Catie) Ann Horton. Her great grandchildren include Carlos Rosas, Ethan Rosas, Sky Lynn Christensen, Sage Janie Holt, and Daniel Jay Holt We are all better because of her.

Memorial services were held on Saturday, September 17, 2022, at 1:00 pm at Southern Utah Mortuary, 190 N 300 W, Cedar City, UT 84720. Live Streaming of the Memorial was available on Catherine’s obituary page. Arrangements are under the direction of Southern Utah Mortuary. Online condolences can be made at mortuary.org.

FYI PanguItch

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Most of the news this week has been about Queen Elizabeth II. She was the queen of the United Kingdom for seventy years. She went to Ireland, North Ireland and Scotland this past week and was laid in state at Westminster Hall. The people of her country really loved her, and the lines of those waiting to pay tribute to her have been miles long. It has been an almost 24hour wait to see the queen's coffin. There are expected to have more than 2 million people pay their respects to their beloved Queen. There has been no cutting in line and all are treated the same. President Biden and his wife, Jill, got an invite and attended the state funeral at Westminster Abbey.

It has been another good week for the president; his people spent 20 hours with the railroad workers (100,000) that were expected to go on strike last Friday. The president was on hand for the handshakes that settled the issues.

Can you imagine what would have happened to our country if there was a strike? The railroads transport much of our inland merchandise.

He also used his executive privilege to (like JFK) do a moon shot to wipe out cancer, with a billion dollars towards wiping out the terrible disease that took the life of his war veteran son at the age of 46.

He also signed into law the bill that gives medical care to those veterans that saw duty in Iraq and Afghanistan and were subject to the smoke next to their base. Of course, our senators were among the 11 who voted against the bill.

But they vote against everything that doesn’t involve the 1% tax cuts.

The month of August saw

another banner month with more than 300,000 jobs being added to the market; this is over 10 million that has been added in the last 18 months.

The annual inflation rate of the U.S. is 8.3 percent—down from 8.5 in July—and it looks like there won’t be a depression any time soon.

Ukraine is getting an upper hand over Russia and has regained 6,000 square kilometers of their country. They have run out of room in their prisons for all of the Russians who have surrendered. All of the NATO allies, including the United States of America, have given them $13 billion in war supplies, which is helping this mighty country that has refused to give up. This made the Russians look like fools, however, they didn’t learn anything from their invasion of Afghanistan, where they spent seven years trying to control the Taliban and went home with their tails between their legs.

I guess that Pat and I got out of France just in time; their traffic controllers have gone out on strike, and their air service has been cut by 50%.

One mistake I made while I was in Finland is that I didn’t buy more licorice. Theirs is the best, and it only ran 3.5 euros for a pound, and here it runs $9.00 a pound.

I attended a meeting at the Gem Theater last week. Two men came down from Salt Lake City to see what the state could do about the drought we are going through. Unfortunately, it turned into a political situation that had nothing to do with why they were here.

Some wanted proof that we were in a mega drought. It was so sad that the men called off the meeting. I told them I was sorry that there wasn’t any in-

put from the town.

These are some of the facts about the lack of water in the Colorado River. In 1922, the law of the river was negotiated, and it became the Colorado River compact. A delegation of leaders, water managers and real estate developers from Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona and California sat down to draft the compact in 1922. They came up with a figure of 18 million acre feet of water annually flowing down the river. That volume was to be divided with states from New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Wyoming and the lower basin Nevada, Arizona and California. The junior State of Arizona is being affected the most, having their allotment being cut by 22%. 75% of their Colorado water goes to agriculture. A Saudi Arabian firm has leased 3,500 acres to grow its crops and uses 18,000 gallons of water, enough water to supply 54,000 homes, and all of their crops are shipped back to their country. The water flow at Lees Ferry declined from around twelve million in the early 1900s to six million in 2022. Both Lake Mead and Lake Powell dropped to their lowest levels in history. In April, Lake Mead fell below the level of the reservoir's water intakes, which sends water to pipelines feeding Las Vegas and other communities in southern Nevada.

It isn’t a secret that the cause of the lack of water is the drought and the huge surge in population in many of the cities in the west and the vast fields of agriculture that use large amounts of water. Many places are filtering out their sewer water to water their golf courses and their lawns.

We could use a filtering sys-

tem here so that we could use our lake water in our daily use. The town of Widtsoe was the largest town in Garfield County at one time, but they ran out of water and had to abandon it. Many of our springs up on the mountain have dried up. We have the best water from our springs, but will it last forever?

This is the time for the second tourist season that really helps out the economy in our county. The adults come and spend more money and don’t spend time in tents. One problem is that in the last 20 months, our dollar has grown from 90 cents to one dollar against the euro, and Europeans don’t get as much for their money as before.

Can you believe that September is almost over and fall starts today? We don’t have a lot of tourist things in town this time of the year.

Those of us who live here and have students take in the high school sports events. All of the sports teams are doing really well. The temple in Cedar City will be closed for a couple of weeks for their cleaning. The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints will be having their semi - annual conference next weekend on the 1st and 2nd of October. The words that come from the leaders are true words of wisdom.

October 5th will be the start of Yom Kipper. On the 10th, which will be a three day holiday, is Columbus Day, and then at the end of October is Halloween, and all the goblins will be out in force.

In November, take a note! On the 8th, it will be FYI Panguitch Cont'd on page 8

O bituaries Dorotha C. Taylor 1939 - 2022

ROOSEVELT - Dorotha Chidester Taylor, age 83, passed away from this life and into the love of her heavenly Father, her Savior, her parents and brothers on September 12, 2022.

She was surrounded by her loving husband, Darryl B. Taylor, her sister Lora and all of her children. Her final wish was to have her family together at that time.

Dorotha was born into a home filled with love on August 12, 1939 in Bicknell, Utah to Clyde Dastrup & Hannah White Chidester. In 1957, she graduated from Wayne High School in Bicknell, Utah. It was there that she fell in love with the man she shared 63 years of marriage with. They married in Bountiful, Utah on May 15, 1959. They were later sealed together for time and eternity in the Salt Lake City Temple on June 14, 1962. Together they raised six children. Dorotha created a home filled with love, service, direction, teaching, faith, purpose, hard work, forgiveness, excitement, laughter, music dance and always enough food for anyone who walked in the door. She was always the last to go to bed at the end of the day, making certain that everyone was accounted for and taken care of. Her touch left an unforgettable mark everywhere she went. Her permanence will remain on this earth forever as her good works continue to flow to those she has touched, and it will continue to flow for many generations to come. Her physical presence leaves a void we can tangibly feel, but her sprit will remain for eternity.

Dorotha spent her life in the service of the Lord. She had the pure love of Christ, and she endured to the end of each day giving of herself to her family & friends. She made friends with everyone she came into contact with. She was always engaged in finding a way to benefit and bless others lives through her acceptance and kindness. She was never found in judgement of others. She gave her accepting and open heart to every son and daughter of God. Just imagine how loving and forgiving it had to feel growing up in her home. Her husband and children have a special understanding of the strength she carried, knowing that at times she carried us all through our own valleys of trouble and strife. She is the reason her family has survived all the trials given them. She learned at the very young age of 12 when she lost her father to a mining accident, the importance of showing up for others in need. She could dance anyone’s pants off. Keeping up with her pace wasn’t easy on the dance floor.

She had perfect rhythm and beat, having played the drums in the Chidester Orchestra. Even when she couldn’t get up to dance toward her final days, she would still tap her toe to the music in the room.

Dorotha was her husbands business partner for over 41 years, helping in the building of a trucking company, and livestock operation. They lived the first years of their lives in Bountiful, Utah, then Boston, Massachusetts. The later years they lived in Neola and Roosevelt, Utah. She served in many capacities in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; many positions in the Primary, a Young Woman’s Leader, every position in the Relief Society including Relief Society President of the Ward and Stake. Most nights she would fix dinner for her own family and another family in need. She and Darryl served as Ordinance Workers in the Vernal, Utah Temple for over 20 years. In the year 2000, they sold their business and to serve a full-time mission for the Church and were called to the Philippines Manila Mission, touching the lives of hundreds of university students living in the Manila area.

Dorotha is survived by: Her husband, Darryl B Taylor of Roosevelt, Utah. Her children, JoAnn and Jon Wheeler of Bountiful, Utah; Troy and Sandy Taylor of Roosevelt, Utah; Scott and Heidi Taylor of Roosevelt, Utah; Kristine Hall of Neola, Utah; Perry and Natalie Taylor of The Woodlands, Texas; and Samuel Taylor of Cisco, Texas; 24 grandchildren; 28 great-grandchildren; her sister, Lora Chidester Rees of Sandy, Utah; her Sister-in-laws: Donna Taylor Cook of Torrey, Utah and Eileen Jackson Taylor of Roosevelt, Utah; 25 nieces and nephews, and so many friends, they can not be counted.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Clyde Dastrup Chidester and Hannah White Chidester. Two brothers, Richard White Chidester and Phillip Clyde Chidester. Her father and mother in-law, Charles Ephriam and Mildred Brinkerhoff Taylor. Brotherin-laws; Lawrence Rees, Charles Sheldon Taylor, and Don Lamont Cook.

Funeral services were held Saturday, September 17, 2022 at the Roosevelt 11 LDS Ward Chapel, located at 250 West 200 North, Roosevelt, where friends called for viewing Saturday morning from 10:00 to 12:30 prior to the services.

She was laid to rest on Monday, September 19, 2022 at the Bicknell Utah Cemetery where there was a graveside service beginning at 11:00 A.M. under the care of the Springer Turner Funeral Home of Richfield and Salina, Utah.

In lieu of flowers please send your donations to the Huntsman Cancer Research Center for Aplastic Anemia and Pancreatic Cancer.

Thanks and gratitude go to the many friends, family, ward members, the Relief Society of the Roosevelt 11 Ward, the many doctors and nurses at the Huntsman Cancer Institute and Good Shepard Hospice Care for their attention, love and kindness shown during the last months of Dorotha’s life. She lit up every time a friend or family member walked through the door. For years she gave care to so many and at the end she was supported and loved many times over.

September 26 - October 2

Jupiter and its four large moons at 9 p.m. MDT on September 29, 2022.

For a while last spring there were no planets in the evening sky. Now, we have three: two that are out from sunset, while a third rises before midnight.

As the sky is growing dark, notice Saturn—almost 1/3 of the way up the southeastern sky. Saturn is in Capricornus, in a section of the sky with no bright stars, so you can’t miss it. Notice its soft pale-yellow color. Saturn doesn’t set until about 3 a.m.

Brilliant Jupiter lies precisely opposite the sun on the 26th, so it rises in the east as the sun sets in the west. This is the date when Jupiter is closest to the earth at 367 million miles, although, its distance doesn’t change enough through the year to matter.

On the 29th, the spacecraft Juno, which has been in orbit around Jupiter since 2016, passes only 220 miles above the surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa, the closest a spacecraft has come to this fascinating moon in 22 years.

Look for new photos of it in the days that follow. You will definitely not see Juno, but you can see Europa—and Jupiter’s other three large moons—

any night with any telescope and even 10x tripod-mounted binoculars (unless a moon is behind or in front of Jupiter).

Why not look at Europa on the 29th at the same time Juno is looking at it? And then look at the moons on following nights and enjoy their eternal dance.

Be sure to look early on the 29th because Europa is moving fast enough to watch it move, and at 9:50 MDT, it moves behind Jupiter and is “occulted” by the planet. It’s behind Jupiter until it pops back into view at 12:34 a.m.

You can know which moon is which with one of many astronomy apps (my favorite and the one I use for diagrams that accompany my "Sky Reports" is SkySafari, but others will do the job) or, as a second choice, a website like https://shallowsky.com/galilean/. Europa is so interesting a moon that there are plans in two years to launch the Europa Clipper spacecraft to orbit it.

Google can tell you about Europa and the other fascinating moons; each is unique in its own way.

The third and final planet out tonight is Mars, which rises before midnight, in Tau-

rus, where there are many bright stars in its vicinity. It’s brighter than them all except Sirius, which rises toward 3 a.m. Mars’ orange color makes it unmistakable, although, Aldebaran and Betelgeuse nearby attempt to compete. Mars is growing closer and brighter by the week.

Juno is the spacecraft in orbit around Jupiter, but another Juno is the third asteroid discovered, and it’s roughly midway between Jupiter and Saturn. At 8th magnitude you can barely see it in binoculars.

A finding chart is at www.heavens-above.com.

Our moon is only 3° from the bright red star Antares in Scorpius on the evening of the 30th, and you can see both together in binoculars.

Garfield Commission

Pollock repeated his frustration with the continued closure of the Kanab Creek road. He said he’s tried to engage the Kane County commissioners in working with Forest Service to open the road, which is in Kane County, but to no avail.

Chris Wehrli, the Powell District Ranger in attendance, said he’s working on that issue with Forest Service but that they have a responsibility to ensure safety. Pollock acknowledged the road crews working across the county to clean up washouts and flood damage from the recent rains. Next, he commented on the nonprofit groups that solicit their constituencies to comment on GSENM planning. He said Sierra Club, SUWA, Earth First, Partners… “are not the elected officials. We are the voice of the public. If people don’t like that, they can get their new elected officials.” Finally, he said the hospital upgrades on the pharmacy and operating rooms should be able to start soon with assistance from Intermountain Health to find a contractor who’ll “be fair with us,” citing high bids previously received.

Sheriff Perkins reported on the number of summer events, as well as the search and rescue activities—dozens of people have been airlifted from remote areas this season.

Both Dave Dodds (Public Works) and Kaden Figgens (Planning/Econ Dev) were out of town.

Chris Wehrli, Powell District Ranger repeated that he needs to assess treefall threats and road damage

in the burn areas. He said it’s likely Right Fork will stay closed due through the end of the season due to the severity of the fire there. He also said the Rocky Ford Trail near Circleville will likely be abandoned due to excessively high cost to repair and little usage.

A different trail will probably be created.

Business licenses were approved for Context TSP, LLC in Tropic (books, art, digital audio/visual products) and Bryce Glamp and Camp, LLC, in Cannonville.

The last item was a discussion about bonding/insurance requirements for special service districts. A member of Panguitch Lake Fire Board had received a state notice and wondered if the county handles this obligation. The Commissioners and Clerk will contact their insurance provider (UCIP) to find out.

This would likely affect all special service districts in the county. The Commission also approved Richard West as the recommended board replacement on the Mammoth Creek Fire District Board.

The Commissioners then went into executive session to discuss litigation and personnel.

The Garfield County Commission meets on the second and fourth Monday of each month starting at 10 a.m.

All meetings are held in the County Courthouse in Panguitch. There is no set up for electronic participation, but all meetings are recorded.

Zion National Park Cooperating Agency meetings, Tebbs said the Park cited overcrowding and reported a plan that would limit visitation by approximately 25 percent.

Tebbs wants the Park to identify its measurement metrics and wants the affected communities to be able to provide input to the decision. Tebbs wants county residents to continue submitting comments on the GSENM management plan scoping, which remains open online until September 27. Finally, Tebbs noted the successful events that happened this summer, including the Centennial celebration for the Park System, Canyon2Canyon ride, and others.

Commissioner Jerry Taylor hiked Calf Creek with the BLM state director, Rep. Stewart staff member, and Sheriff Perkins to assess helicopter landing zones for Search and Rescue. He met with state personnel to discuss dredging of North Creek reservoir. He also noted ATV riding groups who have donated time to communities to clean up trail areas and garbage they encounter and suggested grant funding toward advertising respectful riding. Taylor said the Rural Online Initiative will be opening Escalante office space for remote workers. He also mentioned the September 26 open house for the four-plex affordable housing units in Escalante.

Giordano: We can choose to look at paintings as a window into someone else’s

As a plein air artist, 2022 GSENM Artist-in-Residence for the Escalante Canyons Art Festival Claire Giordano hikes with her paint kit—sometimes for miles and sometimes not far from where she parked—until she finds a spot to paint when she feels a connection.

ardship arises—when we feel something deeply enough to be spurred into action.”

Giordano, the 2022

GSENM Artist-in-Residence for the Escalante Canyons Art Festival (ECAF), considers herself an environmental artist, writer and educator.

Through the Adventure Art Academy, which she founded in 2021, she’s combined her interests and her talents to work as what she calls an "interdisciplinary creative."

Through the Academy, she offers virtual watercolor classes.

“I film the entire class outside and onsite somewhere while immersed in a beautiful landscape,” said Giordano, and participants get to follow step by step. “I find the view that I want, I think about how I want to teach about this landscape and the colors I’ll be using. And part of the magic is it’s always something different. I walk students through what I’m experiencing. I want to create this visual space where people can connect with place. If stewardship begins with a personal connection with place, there is no stronger way to forge that connection than through a creative practice. That was a philosophy from the beginning.”

Giordano says she was initially inspired to connect art with stewardship about ten years ago, when she "met" and painted, a dying glacier.

“In the lines of my painting, climate change became incredibly personal,” she says in a statement on her Web site.

Her idea for the Adventure Arts Academy came during the second year of the pandemic. She’d been working a number of what she calls "corporate" jobs. She’d had a job with REI, and also worked for Tesla.

Election Day, so do your civic duty and vote. On 11/11 is Veterans Day, and all veterans from our area are invited to a dinner that will be hosted by the American legion, and there will be entertainment, food and fun.

And on the 24th, we will again be hosting our 14th an-

“I was a showroom girl for four months. It’s not what you think—you have to be very educated and speak about complex processes,” said Giordano. Yet with this and the other jobs she discovered that she’d get bored within a few months, and they were not terribly well paying. “I figured if I was going to make $15 an hour I could work for myself,” she said. So in 2018, she started to do freelance work.

Giordano isn’t formally trained as an artist, and she didn’t go to art school. At Seattle University she majored in environmental studies and environmental ethics. But she’d loved sketching ever since she was a child. When venturing into self-employment, she started out with as many freelance revenue streams as possible—paintings commissions, selling prints from those works, writing, and doing hand drawn maps. “The freelance hustle is very real.

Some months I would make enough money to support myself, and others, I wouldn’t.”

And then the pandemic happened. “And every revenue stream dried up, pretty much,” she said.

So, she went online and taught a watercolor class—the first one as a free demo.

“Fifty-five people signed up!” said Giordano. “Something clicked and for the first time I was using so many of my different capabilities.”

Giordano feels that a regular classroom setting wouldn’t work as well for her, describing herself as “pretty introverted.”

“So online worked for nual Thanksgiving Dinner, and it will be at the senior center. Come and enjoy dinner with your friends and neighbors. Thanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays, for we have much to give thanks for.

A body of men, holding themselves accountable to nobody, ought not to be trusted by anybody.

me. I got to hold people’s attention with what was happening with my voice and my hands. And I could reach so many people.”

ECAF is Giordano’s fourth artist residency of just this year. Her previous 2022 residencies were at Crater Lake, Petrified Forest and North Cascades national parks. During each residency, she experienced what she describes as the increasing effects of changes in climate— a six foot record-breaking May snow at Crater Lake (which occurred on the heels of a dismal 33% snowpack); an “insanely hot” and windy session at Petrified Forest (in Arizona) that “was like being inside a blow dryer on high,” and also extreme weather at North Cascades that made her briefly abandon her trip.

“And then I came here [to Escalante] and we had unusually hot weather for the first week. It's been a year of climactic extremes for me,” said Giordano.

When on a location, Giordano makes a point of talking to people she meets about what they see in the way of changes in the landscape, and in their community. Everywhere she goes, she says people describe shifts in weather, changes in the winter and summer seasons, in rain patterns, and drought. “I’ve encountered people who have argued with me with about whether this is ‘climate change.’ They may not agree with the word, but they are still observing these changes. As an artist, I want to bring those stories of change to life. And part of that is being understanding of the diversity of perspectives and beliefs and ways of seeing the world.”

Her work—and her way of working—are popular.

Giordano has over 15,000 followers on Instagram, and she says that she posts daily, with 800 to 1,000 people following along every single day. She describes the ECAF residency as unique because she has been able to talk to a lot of different people. “I’ve talked to maybe fifty people so far painting at Head-ofthe-Rocks,” she said.

“It has been wonderful, here. Everyone has been so welcoming,” said Giordano.

And in these discussions, she does not shy away from sharing what she sees.

“Landscapes are mortal.

We are understanding that for the first time, it is my hope that when I create stories with my artwork about our changing our world, those pieces are an invitation to others to be curious, to inspire them to look around and see what is happening in their own landscapes. We can choose to look at paintings as a window into someone else’s perspective. We can be changed by that creative space.”
