Biden Could Face Uphill Battle in Utah Over Clean-Energy Plan

by Mark Richardson, Utah News Connections

Coal mining and coal-fueled electricity generation provides direct employment to about 2,500 Utahns, and millions of dollars in royalties to state and local governments.

SALT LAKE CITY President Joe Biden's $150 billion clean-energy plan aims to rid almost half the power grid of carbon-based fuels by 2035, but conservation groups say his proposal will likely see resistance from Utah and other energyproducing states.

The plan, which went before the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee last week, would reduce the use of coal and natural gas to cut carbon emissions and develop a green-energy economy.

Scott Williams, executive director of environmental watchdog Healthy Environment Alliance (HEAL) of Utah, said losing Utah jobs in coal and gas production

could be a major barrier to implementing the plan's changes. "[In] states where coal mining and oil and gas exploration are a significant part of the economy, like Utah and Wyoming," he said, "there's much less of an appetite to impose regulatory requirements on the power companies."

Biden's program would provide financial incentives to energy suppliers for increasing the amount of clean electricity supplied to customers each year. Most Republicans oppose the plan so far, saying it costs too much.

Williams said he believes Utah regulators and policymakers need to rethink their Clean-Energy Plan Cont'd on page 10

2 DWR Events, Several Other Areas Where You Can See Bright Red Kokanee Salmon in Utah This Fall SALT LAKE CITY Autumn brings a lot of beautiful colors to Utah's landscape, and driving to see the leaves change color is a popular activity for many locals. However, trees aren't the only things that turn a brilliant shade of red in the fall—kokanee salmon do as well.

In September and October, kokanee salmon—which are a shade of silver most of the year—change to a bright red before they travel up rivers and streams to spawn. Their red color makes the fish easy to spot in the waters where they lay their eggs. The males also acquire humped backs, hooked jaws and elongated teeth during their spawning transformation.

While the fish are exciting to see, note that you are not allowed to keep any kokanee salmon caught anywhere in Utah from Sept. 10 to Nov. Kokanee Salmon Cont'd on page 3

SALT LAKE CITY - As one of the driest states in the nation, drought is no stranger to Utah. However, conditions this year are some of the worst on record. The U.S. Drought Monitor comparison visually depicts drought conditions in January 2020 and 2021.

Record dry soils heading into last winter severely impacted the effectiveness of spring runoff, which soaked into the ground rather than refilled reservoirs. Conditions were monitored closely, and water-saving actions were taken across the state.

We appreciate those who implemented water-saving actions, for example: • Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District’s water deliveries were down nearly 31% this August compared to last August.

• Washington County Water Conservancy District’s service area (including district and municipal supplies) saved almost 600 million gallons of water this summer (June, July and August) compared to 2020 use, despite a 3.26% population increase.

• Salt Lake City service area saved about 1.8 billion gallons since July 1, compared to the averaged water use over the same time period for 2018, 2019 and 2020.

• Sandy City saved 962 million gallons over this time last year.

Applications for watersaving rebates have also seen a large uptick.

“As irrigation season winds to a close, we appreciate all who reduced their use.

It has made a difference,” said Utah Department of Natural Resources Executive Director Brian Steed. “With about 60% of our municipal water supply used for outdoor irrigation, cutting back saves that water for later use.”

The following drought impacts from the week of Sept. 13 are compiled by the Utah Divisions of Water Resources, Water Rights, State

Parks, Wildlife Resources, the Department of Environmental Quality and the Department of Agriculture & Food.

At-a-glance changes for the week: • Thirty-two of Utah’s largest 42 reservoirs are below 55% of available capacity (31 last week, with Jordanelle dropping this week). Overall statewide storage is 49% of capacity, slightly less than last week.

• Of the 98 measured streams, 50 flowed below normal this week compared to 44 last week.

• Boat ramp closures remain the same as last week, with 12 closures at 10 state parks, including Jordanelle, Antelope Island, Echo, Hyrum, Millsite, Piute, Rockport, Quail Creek, Willard Bay and Yuba. Caution advisories have been issued for seven additional state park boat ramps. View conditions at stateparks.utah.gov.

• An Emergency Disaster Relief Loan Program was launched this week by the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food to aid farmers and ranchers who’ve experienced loss due to the extreme drought.

This program provides loans of up to $100,000 to eligible producers to assist with financial and other losses experienced due to drought conditions such as crop loss, increased feed costs, loss of livestock, and more. More information and applications can be found at ag.utah.gov.

• Waterfowl hunting season begins soon in Utah, and hunters should be aware that drought conditions have impacted some species, likely resulting in fewer birds in Utah this fall.

Low water levels in some areas will also impact access to some waterfowl management areas. Visit the DWR website for more details.

Kokanee Salmon: Kokanee salmon turn bright red

during spawning season—from September 10 - November 30— and there are many locations across Utah where you can see these temporarily colorful fish.

Kokanee salmon in the fall Kokanee Salmon Cont'd from page 1

30, during the spawning season. Visitors should also not disturb the spawning fish by wading into the water, allowing their dogs to chase the fish or by trying to pick the fish up.

To celebrate the annual spawn, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources is holding two free viewing events at the following locations.

Sheep Creek (Daggett County) This viewing event will be held on Saturday, Sept.

11 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the first bridge in the Sheep Creek Geological Loop, just off Highway 44. Sheep Creek, a tributary to Flaming Gorge Reservoir, is located about six miles south of Manila, Utah.

Participants should watch for the watchable wildlife signs that will be posted along the highway.

You should be able to see the signs, no matter which direction you're traveling on Highway 44.

"We're hoping to see really good numbers of kokanee in their bright red, spawning colors," DWR Northeastern Region Outreach Manager Tonya Kieffer-Selby said.

"Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, wild turkeys, sandhill cranes, red-tailed hawks, songbirds, squirrels and a variety of other wildlife have greeted visitors in the past. We look forward to the kokanee migration, as it's a great symbol of the changing seasons and an indication that autumn is here."

DWR biologists will be available at the event to answer questions about the salmon and their behavior.

It's also a great time of year to enjoy the auto tour along the Sheep Creek Geological Loop, as well as stop by the Red Canyon Visitor Center.

While the event is free, participants are asked to register for it on Eventbrite.

For more information, call the DWR's Vernal office at 435-781-9453.

Strawberry Reservoir (Wasatch County) This event will be held Saturday, Sept. 18 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the U.S. Forest Service visitor center at Strawberry Reservoir. The visitor center is located along U.S. Highway 40, about 20 miles southeast of Heber City.

Though the visitor center will be closed, the restrooms will be open during the event.

Participants will be able to see a few salmon in the Strawberry River next to the visitor center. But, if you walk to the fish trap and eggtaking facility behind the visitor center, you'll see hundreds of the bright red fish. DWR biologists will be at the facility to show you the salmon and talk with you about the peculiar life cycle of the fish.

"Kokanee are easily visible in the river at the visitor center," DWR Central Region Outreach Manager Scott Root said. "Once you arrive at the

Courtesy Utah Division of Wildlife Resources

fish trap, you can ask questions about the salmon. If you want, you can even touch one."

If the visitor center parking lot fills up, overflow parking is available south of the visitor center.

While the event is free, participants are asked to register for it on Eventbrite.

For more information about this free event, call the DWR's Springville office at 801-491-5678.

If you are unable to attend one of the DWR events, you can still see kokanee salmon spawning at those locations until the first week of October.

Here are several other spots around Utah where you can see bright red kokanee as well: Utah viewing locations for red kokanee salmon Central Utah Jordanelle Reservoir and Provo River (Summit County) The kokanee that live in Jordanelle spawn in the Provo River, above the Rock Cliff recreation area. The recreation area is located on the eastern tip of the reservoir, two miles west of Francis. The Rock Cliff area has several trails that lead to the river's edge and a bridge that crosses the river where you can view the salmon. Spawning usually runs through the month of September and peaks about the middle of the month.

Northern Utah Causey Reservoir (Weber County) You must hike or paddle to see kokanee salmon at Causey Reservoir. You'll find viewing opportunities at the left-hand and right-hand forks of the South Fork of the Ogden River, which connects to the reservoir. The left-hand fork is not accessible over land—you must use a stand-up paddleboard, kayak or canoe to get there. The right-hand fork can be accessed by land and requires about a 2.5-mile hike in from the Skullcrack Canyon parking area. Peak spawning time is the middle of September.

Porcupine Reservoir (Cache County) Kokanee salmon run up the east fork of the Little Bear River, which is the main source of water for Porcupine Reservoir. Parking is very limited, though. If you head to Porcupine Reservoir, please park in the small parking lot and avoid parking on the road, if possible. Visiting on weekdays or timing your trips for early or late in the day may be your best option for finding parking. Do not trespass on Cinnamon Creek Campground's land, which is located

just upstream, and is marked with a "no trespassing" sign and locked gate. Peak spawning time is the middle of September.

Smith and Morehouse Reservoir (Summit County) You should be able to see some kokanee salmon during their run in either Smith and Morehouse Creek or in Red Pine Creek. Late September to mid-October is usually the best time to see the fish.

Stateline Reservoir (Summit County) This reservoir on the north slope of the Uinta Mountains—about a half-mile from the Utah-Wyoming state line—offers great kokaneeviewing opportunities. The fish are typically small, but very abundant at this location. Fish run up the east fork of Smith's Fork, which feeds into the north end of the reservoir. Peak spawning time is the middle of September.

Southeastern Utah Electric Lake (Emery County) At the north end of Electric Lake, the main tributary splits into Boulger Creek and Upper Huntington Creek.

Salmon run up both creeks starting in early September, and the spawning season lasts until the end of October. However, the best viewing opportunities at Electric Lake are in the first half of October. Both creeks are highly accessible from the pulloff on the north end of the lake, which runs to the boat ramp. Upper Huntington Creek runs several miles north, right along Highway 96. There are many small pulloff areas, and the creek is very close to the road.

Southern Utah Fish Lake (Sevier County) Kokanee have only been in Fish Lake, located about 40 miles southeast of Richfield, for a few years, but they have done really well. The best place to see them is at Twin Creeks. The new boardwalk provides a great view of the spawning fish. This can also be a great location to take pictures or video clips of the fish because the water is crystal clear. Spawning usually runs from mid-October to early November. A DWR viewing event will also be held then and details will be available as the event gets closer.

If you have the exciting opportunity to view kokanee this fall, use the hashtag #utahsalmon on social media to share your photos and videos with the DWR. —Utah Division of Wildlife Resources

Lady Cats Volleyball takes second at Sophomore Tournament, Cats Baseball State Tournament starts on Oct. 1 - 2, and Region 20 Track Meet will be on Oct. 12 The Lady Cats had another great week in volleyball. On Wednesday, the Cats met Milford and took out a good team in three games. The Cats are operating without one of their starters, Cox, who badly dislocated her ankle in the game at Diamond Ranch. Hopefully, she will be back soon. It is always fun to play against Milford, Piute and Bryce Valley because they have a really good fan following.

At the sophomore tournament, the Cats came in second against the 2A Kanab team.

This means that Coach Norris is going to have good teams for many more years.

On Tuesday, the Cats travel up to Millard for a game, and they will be at home Thursday the 23rd against

Beaver. These games will be early, 4:45 and 6:00, and this should be a fun game. Beaver usually has a good team. Next week up at Piute, the Cats will be there on Wednesday the 29th. The ladies only have two more home games left in the season. Come on out and support them.

The Bobcats baseball team had another good week, but, again, they played Piute for the third time and came up a little short. The Cats played the Thunderbirds on their own field and lost 6-1. The Birds are last year’s champs, and they want to hold on to the title. Valley was here, and the Cats played a really good game, which they won 5-4.

Baseball season is really short, and the Cats only have two

more games. Green River will be here on the 22nd, and their final regular season game will be at Wayne on the 24th. The first round of the State Tournament starts on October 1-2.

The Bobcats Cross Country season is also coming to an end. They have meets at Escalante on the 23rd and Water Canyon on the 30th. Many of the girl runners are on the Volleyball team, but you only have to run two races to qualify for state. On the 7th of October, the Cats final season race will be out at Milford. Keep the 12th on your calendar; that is the Region 20 meet, and this is the best place to watch a meet from. The race starts at 4:00.

Wills, Trusts, and More

The Insider

Some Assets Can Be Handled Outside of Probate Upon Death A number of different kinds of properties may pass outside the provisions of your will. The list includes life insurance, retirement plans, individual retirement accounts and annuities. When you purchased these types of assets and accounts, you would have been asked to fill out a form listing the beneficiaries in case of your death.

These investments will pass to the named beneficiaries regardless of whether you have a will. However, if you don't have a beneficiary named, if the beneficiary named is your "estate," or if all the named beneficiaries are deceased, then those investments will be paid to your estate and pass under your will.

Certain bank and brokerage accounts will also pass outside your will. For instance, payable-on-death accounts (sometimes called "POD" accounts) will be distributed to the named beneficiary. Additionally, accounts set up by one or more persons as joint tenants with rights of survivorship will pass directly to the surviving account

by Jeffery J. McKenna holder or holders.

Not all joint accounts pass to the survivor. When joint accounts are set up as tenants in common, the portion of the account that was owned by the decedent passes under his or her will. Many people have decided to create revocable or irrevocable trusts as part of their estate plan. Virtually all such trusts are designed to pass directly to persons or other trusts named in the document rather than under a will. Remember, however, that for assets to pass according to the terms of your trust, you must transfer the assets into the trust.

You may find that most of your estate consists of nonprobate property. Therefore, it is extremely important to coordinate the beneficiaries of all these properties to make certain your assets will be distributed as you want when you pass away.

An experienced estate planning attorney can be very helpful in these matters. A significant difference exists between an attorney that occasionally helps clients with estate planning and an attorney that does it multiple times a

At the end of the tour, the guide asks her how she enjoyed it.

She admits to being a bit worried about seeing a ghost in some of the dark cobwebby rooms and passages.

Father's Calling

Visiting his parents' retirement village in Florida, my middle-aged friend, Tim, went for a swim in the community pool while his elderly father took a walk.

Tim struck up a conversation with the only other person in the pool, a five-year-old boy.

After a while, Tim's father returned from his walk and called out, "I'm ready to leave."

Tim then turned to his new friend and announced that he had to leave because his father was calling.

Astonished, the wideeyed little boy cried, "You're a kid?"

FYI PanguItch

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Summer has gone, and it is the autumn time of the year. The 1st of autumn and the 1st day of spring have two things in common; Do you know what they are? Those two days are the only ones that have equal times of daylight and darkness. The sun sets at 7:35 and comes up at 7:35 in the morning. We did have that monster storm last Saturday, and it lasted all of five minutes, but we will take it.

The second season is starting kind of slow. There are very few buses coming out to the Park. We still have a moratorium on travel from Europe and most other countries. Most of the travelers are coming by car.

Our granddaughter was here with her fiancé and his mother this last weekend. I have been out to Bryce Canyon at least 100 times (I drove a bus there for 3 or 4 years) and have never been up to Bryce Point. I always go to Sunset Point, where we hike the Navajo loop. I have a new favorite spot. Bryce Point has beautiful rock formations on both sides of the walkway, and the view is spectacular.

Teah is like her grandmother; she has to be busy trying to make the world a better place. When she was at the U, she was a volunteer at the 4th Street Clinic for four years.

During that time, she and her friends found a cure for the cold by collecting over 800 coats for the homeless. Many of those coats were donated right here in Panguitch. Then, they collected money for the

diabetics’ foundation, with one dollar for one cure, and they brought in $13,000. Then as an intern in San Diego, she and another intern friend went down to Guatemala, one of the poorest places in the world, to see what they could do to help out. The next year, she went back and worked with the nurses again. They have no income, and they live on what they can raise. Some of the women live on three thick tortillas a day. They are real small people, and most weigh only 100 lbs and not many have more than a 6th grade education. They do have a clinic there. Teah and ten of her friends did a fundraiser last week. It consisted of an eight mile run, ten mile bike ride and paddle boarding for 1 mile. They raised $5,000.

This will keep the clinic going for two weeks.

When I drove the bus out at Bryce Canyon, I always wondered what new idea Ruby’s Inn was going to come up with to bring in more business.

This year’s idea is to put in a better ice skating rink, taking advantage of more winter sports. Ruby’s has always been my favorite business because I believe that if you don’t progress, you will surely die. When we first moved here, Ruby’s lodge burned down. Instead of moaning about their bad luck, they built their business from a small lodge to three lodges that have 750 rooms and a 180 site campground. They do have great vision, and it really is all about location, location, location.

In California, the recall of Governor Newson really fizzled out. He received 64% no votes, and the problem was that no one knew why he was being recalled. He even had backing in Orange County, a GOP stronghold. There were 48 people running to take his place, and the one with the most votes was a right wing talk show host. So, California will continue to be progressive and to bring more wealth to their economy. The real losers in the farce were the California taxpayers. It cost $200 million to put this on. Of course, the GOP is calling it a stolen election. It is like the one held in Utah, where they send out the ballots, only unlike Utah, their people didn’t win.

Another great flop was the giant parade of friends of the cop killers at the Congress building. The Government, thinking that it was going to be more of the same as 1/6, put up fences around the Capital and the Supreme Court buildings.

They also parked many trucks along the parade route to block the rioters. Many of the Capital police that were there eight months ago haven’t returned to duty yet. But there were plenty there to take their place.

The ex-president complimented them for defending the rioters. Of the 600 of those that have been charged for crimes against the country in trying to overthrow the Government, only twelve are still in jail.

This prevention also cost the taxpayers millions of dollars, and only about 100 protesters showed up.

The COVID-19 cases are escalating from 9,000 cases to 150,000 cases a day in one month, and the deaths have climbed from 300 a day to 2,000. Garfield County cases are now up to 22 for the last two weeks. We have had 537 cases and now 11 deaths.

The president, in his quest to save lives, has put mandates on who should get shots.

However, the governors in many of the red states the very next day said that even though they were doing nothing to stop the spread of the virus, he was making it more difficult. How are you going to feel when you kill your parents, wife, children and friends, because you don’t want to get a shot? All of these deaths are preventable; what are you thinking? It is not about you. It is about all of those that you come in contact with and you will kill or put into the hospital. I know many of you carry a gun for protection, but you can’t use it to murder someone. The same thing with this virus.

What President Biden did is to save lives, and compare that to the last president forcing people to go back into the meat packing plants or lose their unemployment. 40,000 of them contacted the virus and 4,500 died. How many have to die before these politicians are going to get off their party lines (this isn’t a political virus) and do something to urge their party to do what is right. The governor of Mississippi said that the people in his state were Christians, and they weren’t afraid of death.

When questioned about what he planned on doing to stop the spread of the virus, he said that it had peaked and was only half what it was two weeks ago. Their cases went from 100 a day to 3000 in one month, and 500 a day are dying.

If opportunity doesn’t come knocking, try building a door.

Owner: Caineville SSD By: John Jackson Title: President Date: September 22, 2021 Published in the Wayne & Garfield County Insider on SEPTEMBER 23 & 30 and OCTOBER 7, 2021 PROPOSED CHANGES TO RECREATION FEES IDENTIFIED BY THE FISHLAKE NATIONAL FOREST The Fishlake National Forest is proposing to charge new and increased fees at four developed recreation sites.

Many day-use sites, overnight camping sites, and other recreation sites are managed without user fees currently on the forest.

“We recognize how important these sites are to our local communities and those who use the sites. These fee increases will help us maintain the sites to the level and quality people have come to expect as well as make the fees more consistent throughout the state,” said Dan Child, Public Services Staff Officer for the Fishlake National Forest. "During this public input period, we want to hear strategies and other ideas to help cut costs and leverage resources."

Mt. Terrill Guard Station is being proposed for $50 per night for up to 6 people. The cabin has propane lights, cooking stove, fireplace, vault toilet, fire ring outside, and basic kitchen pots and pans. Big Flat Guard Station is being proposed for $75 per night during the summer and $50 per night during the winter with no running water. The cabin holds up to 8 people with electricity, cooking stove, fireplace, flush toilet, running water, shower, fire ring, and basic kitchen pots and pans. Aquarius Guard station is currently $35 and being proposed to increase to $90 per night for up to 4 people. The cabin has propane lights, cooking stove, wood burning cooking stove, running water, vault toilet, and basic kitchen pots and pans. Additional and new funding to these cabin rentals will allow for new flooring, bunk beds, benches and paint in the cabins.

Twin Creeks Amphitheater is being proposed at $60 per day and can accommodate up to 80 people. The group site has drinking water, flush toilet, garbage receptacle, paved roads, and a fire ring.

In 2004, Congress passed the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (REA) which allows the Forest Service to retain funds collected at certain recreation sites and use these funds locally to operate, maintain, and improve these sites.

These additional funds along with ninety-five percent of the revenue from recreation fees remains on the forests to operate, maintain, and improve facilities. So, raising the revenue collected through recreation fees would help the forests improve infrastructure at these rental cabins and group sites, reduce the backlog in deferred maintenance and hire additional recreation staff during the season of operation. The resource derived through collection of fees helps provide quality recreation opportunities that meet the modern expectations of visitors and creates a more financially sustainable developed recreation program for the benefit of future generations.

Under REA, all new fees and any fee changes must be proposed and approved by a citizen’s advisory committee, Utah Bureau of Land Management Resource Advisory Committee.

Committee members represent a broad array of recreation interest groups to help ensure that the Forest Service is proposing reasonable and publicly acceptable new fees and fee changes.

The public is invited to comment on the proposed fee changes to the developed recreation program. The comment period is set to end by close of business on October 1, 2021.

To ensure that your comments are considered, please send your comments no later than the above date to Forest Service, Attention: Daniel Child, 115 East 900 North, Richfield Utah 84701 or daniel.child@usda.gov.

Oral comments must be provided by calling 435-8969233 and indicating you would like to provide comments on the proposed recreation fee changes. For more information on the proposed project, visit our website at https://www.fs.usda. gov/fishlake.

Once public involvement is complete, the proposed fee changes will be reviewed by the Utah Bureau of Land Management Recreation Advisory Committee during their Fall/Winter 2021/2022 meeting, who will submit their recommendation to the Regional Forester for a final decision.

Garfield Commission: Commissioners' reports, Calf

Creek improvements, approval of State of Emergency due to low water in Lake Powell, establishment of a Temporary Land Use Regulation for the Hercules Subdivision, and a presentation by Bryce Valley Elementary 6th graders requesting funds for a field trip to Washington D.C. discussed.

Garfield Commission Cont'd from page 1

towns impacted by mineral extraction on federal lands. It can fund infrastructure, community centers, and apparently golf courses. Pollock urged patience toward county road crews whose staff and equipment are being stretched to the limit in dealing with road washouts around the county.

Five County Association of Governments is planning a restructure. Pollock said each member county is to develop a list of directives they want its director to achieve.

Public Works, Dave Dodds, reported on county maintenance projects. He received county approval on a Memo of Understanding with the BLM/GSENM and Utah State Preservation Office for pursuing Calf Creek improvements, first identifying/mitigating impacts on cultural and historic structures.

Planning, Kaden Figgins: The Commissioners approved Resolution 2021-5, State of Emergency due to low water levels in Lake Powell.

Glen Canyon National Recreation Area Supervisor Bill Shott had requested resolutions from Garfield, Kane, San Juan and Coconino County in Arizona to bolster his request for emergency funding to extend ramps for boat launching. Figgins cited several figures: Colorado River inflow is 31 percent of normal; all established boat ramps are currently closed; the Lake is only

30 percent full, its lowest point yet; if Lake Powell drops 5060 more feet the dam can no longer produce power; and that Lake Powell brings $500+M to communities and tribes and supports over 5000 jobs.

The Commission also approved Ordinance 20219, Establishing a Temporary Land Use Regulation for the Hercules Subdivision. For a six-month period, no land use permits or applications will be approved as the Planning Dept. works on development criteria and standards, similar to Bryce Valley. Figgins cited several issues that led to this action: leaking, inadequate, or nonexistent septic systems potentially contaminating the Sevier River; substandard or lack of culinary water and wastewater infrastructure; unplatted roads being used or roads platted across undevelopable areas; and multiple zoning infractions: 4000-sq ft to ½-acre lots in the six-acre minimum Agriculture Zone. He photographed RVs and shipping containers used as dwellings and mentioned the foiled attempt to move one of those RVs; it getting stuck and now blocking a main access road, and likely leaking effluents.

In public hearing on the ordinance, there were no comments.

Back for commission discussion, Figgins brought up the multiple awards by a variety of organizations and publications naming Highways 12 and 89 for best scenic drives. “Hercules Subdivision occupies one

of the premier locations in the county,” he said, and now presents a picture of blight. More than that, he said the moratorium could potentially be extended if severe contamination of the river and water sources is found.

On an entirely different note, the Commission moved to a presentation by Bryce Valley Elementary 6th graders, who were requesting funding assistance for their December field trip to Washington, D.C. to lay wreaths at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Arlington Cemetery and tour historic sites. The 11 students will need $750/person to cover the flight, motels, meals, and tickets (Parents cover their own expenses.) The students have raised $2,200 from bake sales, donations to their Facebook page, and other contributors.

The Commission approved up to $3K for the students, contingent on the remaining funds they will collect. The wreathlaying invitation was initiated 16 years ago by a Nevada 6th grade and has grown to 20K participants laying 250K wreaths in December each year.

Agency reports: The Forest Service along with the BLM and National Parks would like to restart their quarterly coordination meetings with the county. The Commissioners agreed with this idea and suggested including FCAoG. Returning from their Executive Session, the Commissioners approved a Ticaboo Utility Improvement Board request for a board change, and hired a Travel Council admin assistant and a new Panguitch Senior Center cook.

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.

County-level map showing cases of COVID-19 per 100,000 as of March 1, 2021.

The article, “COVID-19 in Rural America: Impacts of Politics and Disadvantages,” shared information from the study showing that counties with high percentages of Donald Trump voters had higher per-capita cases of COVID-19.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has had severe negative health and economic impacts throughout the country,” said Don Albrecht, executive director of the WRDC and author of the study. “After 18 months, we are still struggling. This article makes it clear that during a pandemic, political views have consequences. This past summer, failure to follow the advice of medical experts has resulted in a surge of people unnecessarily becoming ill, pushing hospitals and their staffs to their breaking point.

COVID-19 cases, measures of disadvantage, such as low levels of education and high levels of poverty, were the best predictors of COVID-19 deaths.

“My goal in conducting this research was to better un-

derstand factors that explain where COVID-19 pandemic impacts were more and less severe,” Albrecht said. “I hope that recognition of the role of political views as well as the continued need to provide adequate medical care will help elected officials make appropriate policies and individuals make better choices.”

BLM Offers More Than 4,800 Acres for Solar Energy Development in Utah CEDAR CITY - The Bureau of Land Management’s Cedar City Field Office began a 60-day bidding period to lease more than 4,800 acres in the Milford Flats South Solar Energy Zone, in Beaver County, Utah, with the potential to generate power for 100,000 homes and create more than 200 jobs.

The efficient deployment of renewable energy from our nation’s public lands is crucial in achieving the Biden Administration’s goal of a carbon pollutionfree power sector by 2035, as well as Congress’ direction in the Energy Act of 2020 (P.L. 116-260) to permit 25 gigawatts of solar, wind, and geothermal production on public lands no later than 2025. The BLM manages vast stretches of public lands that have the potential to make significant contributions to the nation’s renewable energy portfolio.

“The BLM designated the Milford Flats South Solar Energy Zone to maximize the ability for solar energy production, while minimizing conflicts and impacts to resources,” said Color Country District Manager Gloria

Tibbetts. “The BLM has prioritized the responsible development of renewable energy in the Cedar City Field Office, which already manages lands that generate energy in the forms of wind and geothermal power.”

“We started down the path to the development of leasing solar energy zones many years ago, and we are pleased to offer leases to develop renewable energy resources and help Beaver County build upon its reputation as Utah’s renewable energy capital,” said Cedar City Field Manager Paul Briggs.

“We are working closely with our community partners and Tribal governments to ensure that any leased parcels are developed responsibly.”

If the parcels being offered are leased and fully developed, the BLM anticipates that the solar energy facilities would provide approximately 200 construction jobs and 15 operations positions with more than $10 million in total salaries. The area has an estimated potential for projects that could generate over 600 megawatts of electricity, providing power to approximate-

ly 100,000 homes.

Publication of the Notice of Competitive Offer in the Federal Register officially begins the sealed bidding period to lease the three parcels of land, which will close at 10 a.m. MST on Tuesday, Nov. 9, 2021. The BLM will use bids received by 10 a.m. on Nov. 9, 2021, to conduct the lease offer.

An Invitation for Bids and Bidding Instructions for those desiring to submit bids can be found at: https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/ project/97506. Parcel maps and other supplemental information can also be found at the ePlanning website.

Clean-Energy Plan: [In] states where coal mining

and oil and gas exploration are a significant part of the economy, like Utah and Wyoming, there's much less of an appetite to impose regulatory requirements on the power companies.

own incentives for power producers.

"Their primary charge in doing that is to provide power to customers at the lowest possible rate," he said, "although they are also charged to consider other societal benefits."

Sandy Bahr, director of the Sierra Club's Grand Canyon Chapter, said climate change is here now, and waiting around to deal with it is not an option.

"We should be getting more of our electricity from solar," she said. "We definitely need to move rapidly in that direction. What the president is proposing fits in well with

the direction that is needed— not just for the West, but for all of us who live on this side."

Biden's Build Back Better plan also includes funding electric-grid improvements, decarbonizing federal buildings and vehicle fleets, providing rebates for energy-efficient homes and appliances, and subsidizing solar projects in low-income communities.
