ECAF's 2015 Artist-in-Residence Creates Works that "Lead you in"

ESCALANTE - Bonnie Zahn Griffith's passion for presenting a landscape on a canvas can be summarized by how she expresses her basic approach to painting. "From the ground up, look to the landscape and really see it; embrace the colors, the terrain, the magnitude of our physical earth. Let me help you experience it," says Griffith.

As the Escalante Canyons Art Festival's 2015 Artist-inResidence, Griffith is well into the process of making beautiful art for this year's event. The Montana native's contributions to the art world have been in several types of media throughout the years, but for plein air work she likes to use pastels. “It is an easy medium to work with in the outdoors and you have such a broad range of pigment to work with. It is dry so you

can work pretty fast. You do have to take a pretty broad spectrum with you because you can't combine them to create colors like you do with oils.

Out here you have so many colors it is hard to carry them all with you.”

Griffith makes a bow to the artistic process as she describes a painting snafu that occurred while she was working out along HighKandee DeGraw way 12. One of her ECAF Artist-in-Residence Bonnie sketches got caught a Griffith. gust of wind and flew off day except one to paint outside. into the desert. “It just flitted Here, you could just stand in away.

This place is just so “I’ve gone out just about every beyond and so diverse.” Her muted yet evocative pastels often include paths, trails or washes, which abound in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. These are also featured in most of the paintings Griffith has created during her month-long residency. “It is a lead-in to have a trail. I am always trying to set the viewer up so they can make that painting their own. I try to lead them in and they can write their own story in each picture and trails do that; they lead you in, pull you into the painting,” says Griffith.

“My love of the landscape prompts me to paint it. I look for a story to tell when I look at the sagebrush hills, the lush river lands, the wheat fields, the intense greens of spring in rich Escalante Canyons Art Festival Artist-in-Residence Bonnie mountain valleys and the ever Griffith likes to create works that use paths and washes to changing colors of the desert. draw the viewer in.

Visiting Rock Art Sites: Reasons to be Careful

ESCALANTE CANYONS - I can still remember the disappointment I felt when I first saw the rock art at Calf Creek. We had driven more than 5 hours with 3 children in the van, and were looking forward to seeing rock art that was pretty famous. Seemed like everyone had pictures of the great panels at the confluence of Calf Creek and the Escalante River. My attention was drawn not to the petroglyphs, but the vandalism at the site. It seemed sad to me that one of the most well known sites in the Escalante area was also the most heavily abused.

by Nina Bowen Artist, writer and URARA member Janet Lever wrote about ethics while at rock art sites. Part of what she wrote bears repeating: “Here is a brief introduction to how I approach a rock art site. From a map, I get oriented in the landscape. I focus on a particular landform and accompanying drainages.

I look out for other cultural

marks, such as Moqui steps. I investigate patinated surfaces and follow directional pointers in the landscape. I come in close and wait for the light to reveal the drawings, glyphs, or paint. Part of my conversation with these sites now includes an offering (in the form of a prayer) to quiet the mind.

Re-thinking the Fremont Irrigation Piping Project

Wireless Emergency Alerts Can Help Save Lives during Flash Floods

by Brian McInerney

Hydrologist, National Weather Service Imagine driving and your new phone suddenly makes this odd ping noise. You’re not sure the origin of the sound, and pass the phone to your passenger. She glances at the screen and finds a message alerting you of a flash flood crossing the very same road you’re now driving on.

In fact, the alert is saying the flood is just down the road.

You slow down and then see the flash flood. Did the message just save you from a very bad time? It did. Is this sometime in the future? It is not. It is present day and if you own a modern cell phone with a common carrier you have this capability.

The ability to receive flash flood warnings for your area is a result of a partnership with the National Weather Service and America’s wireless industry. The end result is called Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA), which will warn you of weather alerts in the area that you’re currently located.

So, what are WEA messages? Well, they are emergency messages sent by the National Weather Service, local, state, and public safety agencies, FEMA, the FCC, and the Department of Homeland Security. These alerts can save you from an emergency via your mobile device. The Emergency Alerts Cont'd on page 7

A flowing section of sream that will no longer be managed by the Fremont Irrigation Company with a proposed piping project.

I’d like to express concerns about the Fremont Irrigation Company's plan to pipe the Fremont River from Mill Meadow Reservoir dam to a location near the closed Leavitt dairy—a distance of approximately four to five miles if existing water ways are followed. Once the pipe is installed the natural Fremont River bed, a portion of the high line canal and the Loa ditch would be abandoned by the Fremont Irrigation Company. Unfortunately, abandoning these areas would cause considerable problems.

From my perspective the major problems would be as follows: Flood Control. The natural Fremont River bed and the Loa Ditch both serve as flood control drainages. I am aware the intent of the Fremont Irrigation Company is not to serve as a flood control service but to deliver irrigation water. However, they have for many years been the primary resource in maintaining these drainage water ways. These water ways run for approximately six months each year, providing a natural clearing of debris to locations where it is removed by the irrigation company. Each spring, the irrigation company brings in equipment to clear sediment,

debris and obstructing vegetation. Our summer monsoons deposit major debris that obstructs the water flow in these critical drainages. When this happens, the Fremont Irrigation Company hires large equipment companies to bring in track hoe equipment to remove the debris and restore water flows. Over many years of this practice, homes have been built that are now protected by these drainages.

Below the Mill Meadow Reservoir dam is a major drainage that comes off Thousand Lake Mountain, called Red Canyon Gulch. It dumps into the Fremont River bed upstream of homes along the Fremont River. The drainage is a major risk factor for flooding in the Fremont area.

Flood waters that come down Red Canyon Gulch can substantially increase the flow in the Fremont River. In the last five years we have experienced major flows at least four times. The last was on August 2, 2015. At the location of my home along the Fremont River, the flood waters that came down Red Canyon Gulch increased the normal depth of the Fremont River from approximately eighteen inches to near sixty inches. No major Fremont Irrigation

Kenny says, "I was blessed with the ability to make things. I was never blessed with money so if I wanted something, I had to make it. So that's how I started making saddles." He had been working with leather for some time, tooling belts and creating pictures of PRCA events in leather. Then with a small inheritance from his dad about fifteen years ago, he bought a leather-stitching sewing machine and that's what enabled him to get into bigger projects.

First he repaired a few saddles and figured out the basics. With a couple friends who are saddlemakers to give him tips and a book or two, he essentially self-taught himself the art of saddle-making.

The very first one he did was claimed by his daughter for a wedding present for her husband. Since then he mostly makes saddles for working cowboys: well-built and rugged with sturdy trees, these saddles, each of which is a work of art, are designed to be used, to fit right and to last a lifetime. Making, on average, three saddles a year, each one is made with top-quality leather and trees, and each is tooled to the individual's

The daughter of two artistic parents, growing up in the remote backwoods of Montana gave Griffith many afternoons and evenings filled with drawing, writing and playing with sketches. Her mother was an illustrator and worked with oils.

Her great uncle was in advertising, in the late 20s through the early 40s. Her father was a musician, and his entire side of the family was musically oriented.

They all played by ear and were all very accomplished.

Surrounded by what she calls the "artistic umbrella" she was never discouraged from getting into her mother's paints and just playing around. Her mother encouraged realism, but Griffith eventually brought her mother around to see her own less rigid representations as beautiful, as well.

Griffith has been trying to get to the Escalante Canyons Art Festival for three years just as a participant. She finally decided to apply for the Artistin-Residence position after she had quit her job. “I just thought, 'what a dream'. It would be incredible to come down and just paint for whole month and now here I am and it has been incredible.” She jokes, “With the size of the Grand Staircase, you need a month.” She raved about the festival itself, “Even though this festival is fairly young, they are so organized.

Such great communicators and they know what they want and I am just delighted to be a part of that.”

Prior to applying, Griffith says she was searching around

specifications so every saddle is unique. Prices start at $3000 for one with little or no tooling and go up from there. Considering that the average working cowboy doesn't exactly get rich off his wages, it is notable how many will save up and order one of these beautiful saddles.

Kenny is also a musician and cowboy poet, entertaining at a number of venues all over the west. He is an accomplished singer, songwriter and guitarist, recognized nationally for his song writing abilities in the annual American Songwriters Competition. He

is a member of the National Western Music Association, the Academy of Western Artists and the Cowboy Poets of Utah. He's been a regular at the Elko National Cowboy Poetry Gathering, the Heber Cowboy Music and Poetry Gathering, the North Rim Western Arts Days (where he not only entertained, but did leather demos as well) as well as too-numerous-to-name local church, social and other gatherings.

Kenny will be performing at the Escalante Canyons Art Festival Friday, September 25, from 4 in the afternoon until around 5:30.

URARA, which stands for the Utah Rock Art Research Association, also has their own site visitation etiquette that you can view from the website. Our main points of behavior when visiting rock art sites include not touching the images (oils from your fingers could damage them), not attempting to remove graffiti that is already there, not removing soil from the base of images (there are new ways to date images that include dating the buildup of soil), building campfires far from sites, watching your children so they don’t inadvertently damage the images, and speaking out when you see others exhibiting bad behavior around rock art sites.

sites literally lies in our hands.

These places are the ones that people long ago decided were special. Most have a sacredness that you can feel, if you let yourself. Escalante happens to be one of those special places that is known all over the country for spectacular scenery and hiking. The rock art is the bonus you get on the hikes. The Escalante area has the largest concentration of Glen Canyon Style V rock art, which is to say some of the oldest and best rock art to be found. It is in our best interest to protect it, for ourselves and for generations to come.

URARA will be holding our annual symposium in Escalante this year. It will be at the High School on October 3rd and 4th, and anyone with an interest in rock art is encouraged to come by and listen to presentations from researchers of all aspects of rock art. There will be a small admission fee, and those who wish to join us on our field trips must become members (insurance). We would be glad to see you there!

Have a Healthcare Plan We have all been told to plan for the future. This could be for your career, a disaster or an emergency. However, most often it is the small things that can be over looked. As I have recently had loved ones go in and out of the healthcare system for various reasons it became very apparent to me that a current medication list should be one of those items included in our disaster plan.

Unfortunately, health issues seem to creep into our lives at what seems to be the most inopportune time. Having a plan for a medical emergency is just as important as any natural disaster and probably more likely to occur. These could be as serious as a heart attack or as simple as a sore throat. Pharmacists, physicians, dentists and other healthcare professionals all find that the best place to start when treating a patient is to obtain a good health history.

Part of this health history includes a current and up to date medication list.

A current medication list is not only a list of medications that you obtain from your physician, but any herbal, overthe-counter, or substances be-

ing used on a regular basis. All of these products can make a big difference in determining the correct diagnosis and treatment options that is best tailored for you. Additionally, it can help prevent any potential complications such as drugdrug and drug-disease interactions. Creating a medication list can be done on a business card, note card or a piece of paper that you can keep with you at all times. When creating your personal medication list the following items should be contained: Patient name, medication name, strength of medication, directions for use, reason for use (if available) and prescribing clinician name.

An up to date and current medication list can save time in an emergency, and allow your healthcare provider to treat your needs better. I would encourage all to have a healthcare emergency plan.

Include as part of this a medication list for each of your loved ones adults and children alike. Keep it up to date and utilize it for all of your doctor or pharmacy visits.

Fremont Irrigation Cont'd from page 1

damage was done but there was sufficient debris flow and accumulation that again, the Fremont Irrigation Company had to bring in a track hoe to clear debris and restore water flow.

Please do not misunderstand—I am not proposing a vegetation stripped canal to control flood waters. Several years ago the irrigation company hired a large dozer to clear a one half mile section of the river just below Mill Meadow dam. The bull dozing went far beyond the river bed, and a stripped canal type river was the end result. Beaver dams, trees and much of the surrounding vegetation were pushed into piles and eventually burned. In my opinion, one of the most beautiful parts of the Fremont River was turned into an ugly mess.

To the north of Fremont is an area referred to as the “ledges”. Again, the main problems come with the monsoon rains. This area is quite steep and very rocky with some deep canyons leading directly to farm lands and residential sites. The Loa ditch is the primary salvation for these homes and farms. Typically, this area receives several rain storms each year that are sufficient to bring flood waters out of the canyons. The waters flow into the Loa ditch and are removed from the critical areas. Most of the time damage to homes and farm lands are avoided.

Vegetation and Environment. There will most likely be some minor amounts of water that will continue to flow below the dam. This water is the result of seepage at the dam and some small springs. This minimal flow was discussed at a Fremont Irrigation Company shareholder meeting. I am sure the irrigation company would like to stop the dam seepage if possible. If the dam seepage and spring flows continue only the deepest rooted trees would benefit. The water would generally follow the center of the river bed which is also three to five feet below ground level.

This minimal flow, which we experience annually when the irrigation season is over and water flow from the dam is shut off, is typically consumed by evaporation and seepage back into the ground. How far it flows before it disappears is variable depending on several factors. In a typical year, it may flow approximately two to two and one half miles from the dam.

From the Mill Meadow Reservoir dam to the head gate at the diversion of the Fremont River into the high line canal, a distance of approximately three miles, the Fremont River is lined by lush vegetation. Cottonwood trees, river birch, willows and many other trees and shrubs provide

a stark contrast to our arid climate. This green belt is not only beautiful but is also home to a lot of wildlife. Birds of all sizes and colors from sage grouse, eagles and turkeys to canaries depend on this green belt. Many animals, especially deer, can be seen along this stretch of the river. It is a primary source for food and shelter. It is hard for me to imagine what we are thinking of as we plan to destroy it. Picture in your mind what it will look like when ninety percent of that vegetation is dead.

Now that you have that mental picture of the dead vegetation think back to my first concern – flood control.

In years to come, when the monsoon seasons approach, think of the likelihood for all that dead debris to log jam and flood worse than we have ever seen. There would be a high probability of huge piles of dead trees and brush and resulting floods. It is entirely probable that the river would encroach upon adjacent lands and cut new paths. Will each individual property owner be expected to bear the cost of clean up and repairs or possibly just accept the damage?

Will there be no liability on the part of the irrigation company that abandoned those water ways? Or, at the very least, is there no ethical responsibility to the people left with the problems? I believe this situation could become a cause of major disputes between the Fremont Irrigation Company and local residents who experience damage and costs from flooding.

Page 3 Unknown Effects. It has been stated that the primary reason for the piping project is to provide more irrigation water. It has also been stated that no new cultivated land will be developed. The result is that each shareholder will have more water to irrigate the same ground. As I travel around the agricultural areas of Wayne County I do not see fields where crops are failing due to the lack of water. I have also heard resident farmers say that more water will not necessarily produce more crops.

This brings up the question of why we are even pursuing this project.

I think we are smart enough to know that we are not “creating” more water.

We are just removing it from existing locations and putting it in a pipe where we can better control it for what we think is a better use. The primary place we are taking the water from is the aquifers that flow underground. We do not have factual knowledge as to what the effects will be on existing farms, pastures, meadows and wells that have ground waters feed by the section of water ways that will be aban-

doned. A decision to restrict water flows from existing water ways could have significant impacts on the lives of people sometime in the future.

These unknowns coupled with a questionable need for more irrigation water would make a reasonable person ask why are we pursuing this piping project? Maybe the irrigation company should address the deterioration and safety of Mill Meadow Reservoir Dam or the poor condition of many of the main supply lines, valves and pressure regulators rather than spending twelve million dollars on the piping project. The dam is considerably more critical to our irrigation users.

If there are other people in the valley that can stand on their property or near their home and imagine potential damages to their property because these water ways will not be maintained in the future, I suggest that it is time you let the officers of the Fremont Irrigation Company hear your concerns.

The Cats and Parowan’s Rams tied at 22 points and the Rams 6th place runner was one place ahead of ours and won on the tie breaker.

The Lady Cats had a run away winner; Whittni Orton (3 times State Champion) led that event by over 2 minutes, ahead of second place finisher. The girls were easily the winners in this race.

The Cross Country races are really going to be interesting come region time, with the addition of Parowan to the field. Our boy’s team didn’t have the Anderson twins with the team and Parowan’s girls team only brought 3 runners, the other 5 were playing in

Decorative Rock Sand Gravel Driveways Culverts

a soccer game. Last years girl’s team won state by over 50 pts and it will be good to have some competitions. This week’s meet will be up at Piute this afternoon, the 24th.

The Lady Cats easily beat their main competition the Piute Thunderbirds in 3 games.

The Birds did make a game of it, in the second game losing 25-23, however the Cats buckled down in the third game and blew the Birds away 25 to 11.

The Ladies hit the road for the next 4 games, last night they were at Escalante and the following week it will be BV on the 30th and then up to Piute, this is always a fun game, its Pink Night and Cancer awareness. The Cats have one more away game down in Valley, the only two home games left is against Diamond Ranch on Oct 8 and Wayne on Oct 14.

The Piute Thunderbirds seemed to have the Bob Cats' baseball team's number. The Birds have handed the Cats their only two losses. Piute got off to a fast start, leading the Cats 6 to 0, but like last time the Cats came roaring back with 4 runs but couldn’t quite pull it off, losing 6 to 4.

Piute knocked the Cats out of first place and into a tie with Wayne for second, Valley in 4th. Three teams in region 20, go to state, since there aren't any play offs, so each game from now on is vital. The Cats on Friday really took it to Escalante winning 27 to 1. The Cats only have three must win games left, two on the road, BV on the 23rd and Wayne on the 25th. The Cats last home game will be against Valley on the 30th.

With the addition of Parowan to region 20, there will be three PHS teams.

It's Cool 2 B Kind!

by Ashtynn Stringham 2015-2016 WHS Anti-Bullying Coalition Ambassador Kindness matters at Wayne High! Mrs. Nichol Stringham and the WHS Anti-Bullying Ambassadors are working together with the Stand4Kind movement, the Utah Anti-Bullying Coalition, GaeLynn Peterson and Larene Reynolds, and Sharon Lopez (prevention specialist with Central Utah Counseling Center) to spread the word about kindness, not being a bully, and just having good character. WHS Ambassadors this year are: Ashtynn Stringham, Tegan New, Ethan Lee, and Tyler Chappell. The Ambassadors are looking for help in spreading kindness around the district. They have many fun activities and assemblies planned for the school year for the high school, middle school, and elementary school.

The high school had an opening luau where students were able to dance, have treats, and hang out with their peers.

Throughout the month of September, the Ambassadors have been encouraging students at

the high school to add links to the "kindness chain." Home room teachers gave links of colored paper to all students, then students were asked to write down acts of kindness performed by others, then turn the links in to Mrs. Stringham.

Bubblegum was the prize for turning in links, and a grand prize winner of the best act of kindness from the "kindness chain" will be announced the last day of September!

On September 10, International Suicide Awareness day, the entire high school participated in #chalkoutthebadstuff. Each homeroom was designated a section of school sidewalk to cover with inspirational #messages to encourage kindness and good thoughts.

GaeLynn Peterson and Larene Reynolds were judges for the competition, and the three best, most creative, and most inspirational designs were rewarded with a donut party!

The Ambassadors have information posted in the hallway about Wrinkled Walter and

how saying unkind things makes wrinkles in a person's character. No one wants wrinkles! There is a trophy case at the high school set up by the Ambassadors that highlights the activities sponsored by the Ambassadors.

Have you seen anyone do something kind? Something good? Something to help someone else? If you have (and you are age 14-18, enrolled in one of the schools in Wayne School District), go to stand4kind.org, register with the school you attend, and nominate that person! Every time you nominate someone for performing an Act of Kindness, your name and the name of your nominee are entered in a drawing sponsored by the Stand4Kind group. There are fabulous prizes available.

Follow us on Twitter: @ WHSstand4kind If you have any questions about this program, please contact Nichol Stringham at Wayne High School: (435) 425-3411.

Wills, Trusts, and More 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

by Jeffery J. McKenna surviving account 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.

Cabin I'm Free!

Assignment

As I was assigning cabins for church camp this morning the following conversation took place between myself and a sponsor from one of the churches: Sponsor: You need to do something about our cabin assignment, we have 27 girls and we only have 23 beds.

Me: No, ma'am, you have 46 beds.

Sponsor: No, the girls counted and we have 27 girls and only 23 beds.

Me: They're bunk beds

Hijacked Bus

A crook tried to hijack a bus full of Japanese tourists.

Fortunately the police had 5000 photographs of the suspect.

A man, upon his release from prison, runs out the gates screaming, "I'M FREE! I'M FREE!" A little girl standing nearby, looks at him and says, "I'm four."

Labor Pains

When I was a mother's helper, the mom of the family I worked for sat with her three oldest children and watched a PBS special showing the birth of a baby. The mom thought it would be a good starting point for answering questions about the facts of life.

As her five-year-old studied the baby coming out of the birth canal, he asked, "Mom, does that hurt?"

"Oh, yes, it does," she said, remembering her difficult deliveries.

"Wow," he continued in awe, "does it hurt the mother too?"

In the Park

A little girl asked her mother for a dollar to give to an old lady in the park. Her mother was touched by the child's kindness, and gave her the dollar.

"There you are, my dear," said the mother. "But, tell me, isn't the lady able to work any more?"

"Oh yes," came the reply.

"She sells candy."

High Definition TV

The salesman at the electronics store was pitching a high-definition television to a customer.

A fellow shopper, overhearing the spiel, mentioned that he'd upgraded his regular TV to high-def.

"How did you do that?" my husband asked.

"I dusted the screen."

"Certainly, sir," replied the clerk. "You're in the lobby."

September 24, 2015

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com The big news again was the weather and what a dangerous area we live in. A flash flood that spilled over the banks of Short Creek Wash, which cuts through Hildale and Colorado City, took with it 2 cars containing 3 women and 10 children. Josephine and Naomi Jessop (sisters) were driving a 15 passenger van with 8 of their children when they were swept away, one boy did escape. Della Johnson who had 5 of her children with her, was also caught up in the flood, two of her boys also escaped. One boy is still missing and the search for him is still going on. Members of the Task Force 1 search team and their dogs, along with members of the National Guard Unit 222 have been searching a 7 mile stretch for the body of the boy. Joseph Jessop, the father of the 8 children killed in the van, had fallen out of favor of the FDLS Church and hadn’t seen his family in over two years.

From the same storm seven hikers in Zion Park also perished. They were experienced hikers from California and Nevada, in their 40s and

50s. Despite warnings from rangers that flash flooding was probable, the group of four men and three women, decided to use their permit to explore Keyhole Canyon anyway. Keyhole Canyon is a slot canyon on the park’s east side. When a flash flood warning was issued at 2.20 pm, the rangers closed the Canyon, but it was too late for the group that was already in Keyhole by then. In the past there have been a number of close calls with groups of Scouts and their leaders in these slot canyons, the floods can happen even with clear skies and the storms that are miles away.

The number one rule is always check with rangers about the weather before you decide to hike in the slot canyons.

I thought that I had cut my lawn for the last time, because of the lack of irrigation water. However that storm that was so devastating in the southern part of the state was a blessing for our town. My grass seemed to grow right before my eyes and really greened things up.

The number of people without health insurance is

dropping in Utah and the U.S. Utah rate still remains much higher than the rest of the country, it is at 12.5 percent. The National average is 10.4 percent. Still nearly 36 million people in the country still are uninsured and about 365,000 of those live in Utah.

Many people have died because of a lack of health care because they can’t afford it.

Gas prices are falling all over the country, with over 70 percent of the stations selling gas under $2.50 a gallon. Utah ranks in 45th place with a state wide average at $2.77. Still the lowest price is in Richfield at

$2.64, followed by Cedar at $2. 74.

Park attendance has once again picked up, with many of the motels in the regions with “No Vacancies” signs out. Many people like to visit the Parks this time of the year, because there aren’t any kids.

The bike trail is nearing completion and should be finished within a month. You will be able to ride from Inspiration Point down to Red Canyon and only peddle once or twice maybe.

Looking for something of interest in these slow months.

The WEA messages look like a text alert and will convey the type and time of the alert and the agency issuing the alert. The message will be no more than 90 characters, sent via radio, and are of no charge to you or your carrier.

The alert which looks like a text, but is not, will come across with a special tone and vibration and repeat twice.

If you have a WEA capable phone and your wireless carrier participates in the program, you can receive messages outside of the area where you live. So if your on vacation and there is an alert issued, you’ll receive the message for the event in that area and you won’t be charged for the message.

And no, the WEA messages are not tracking you as it uses radio technology to broadcast the message from a cell tower. As such, WEA doesn’t know who is tuned in, it just broadcasts the message.

Also, if you are on the phone or texting, the WEA message will wait until the call or text is finished.

You may receive frequent WEA messages during an emergency. The frequency of messages depends on the amount of threats in your area at any time.

Also, as this service is already on your phone and ready to go. To stop the WEA messages, you can opt out by contacting your wireless carrier or visit http://www.ctia.org/wea for more information.

Although some cell phones allow the users to optin and opt-out directly on their devices. These devices differentiate the imminent threat alerts into two categories “Extreme alerts” and “Severe alerts”. The Extreme alerts from the National Weather

Service include warnings for Tsunamis, tornadoes, extreme winds, hurricanes and typhoons. The Severe alerts from the National Weather Service include warnings for flash floods and dust storms.

For example, by keeping Severe alert selected and deselecting Extreme alert, the user would still be capable of receiving Severe alerts, but would not receive Extreme alerts on their cell phone.

Sometimes you may receive an alert for events not in your area. This is due to the messages originating from cell towers and may extend beyond the warned area. These types of messages are infrequent but occur more in rural areas such as Southern Utah, as opposed to the more urbanized areas.

So, for those of us who live in flash flood country, it’s probably not a bad idea to familiarize yourself with the process and maintain the capability on your phone. It’s always a good idea to assist any children or seniors with cell phones who may be new to this type of technology on the technology and what the alerts mean.

For additional questions on the program, feel free to contact Brian McInerney, Hydrologist with the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, Utah at 801.971.2033.

Be safe.

Understand Your Flood Warnings!

We are reminded, with the recent flash flooding and loss of life in Hildale, Utah and in Zion National Park, how important good information about flood warnings are to avoid dangerous and potentially life-threatening situations.

Here are flash flood warning terms, and what they mean, from the National Weather Service:

Flash Flood Warning:

Take Action! A Flash Flood Warning is issued when a flash flood is imminent or occurring. If you are in a flood prone area move immediately to high ground. A flash flood is a sudden violent flood that can take from minutes to hours to develop. It is even possible to experience a flash flood in areas not immediately receiving rain.

Flash Flood Watch:

Issued generally when there is the possibility of flash flooding or urban flooding over an area within the next 36 hours.

Flood Advisory:

Issued when flooding is imminent or occurring, generally within the next 1 to 3 hours, but is not expected to substantially threaten life and property.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that over half of all flood-related drownings occur when a vehicle is driven into hazardous flood water. The next highest percentage of flood-related deaths is due to walking into or near flood waters. People underestimate the force and power of water. Many of the deaths occur in automobiles as they are swept downstream. Of these drownings, many are preventable, but too many people continue to drive around the barriers that warn you the road is flooded. A mere 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult. It takes just 12 inches of rushing water to carry away a small car, while 2 feet of rushing water can carry away most vehicles. It is NEVER safe to drive or walk into flood waters Websites for more information http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/slc/flashflood/ You can help teach kids about flash floods and other severe weather emergencies in this online game. http://youngmeteorologist.org

munity. Bonding is a feeling of being loved by, connected to and valued by others. Family conflict and lack of bonding increase the risk of drinking.

Doing fun activities together on a regular basis and Eat dinner together are 2 great ways to bond with each other.

Other ways to bond with your children is to make sure you have daily positive interaction with them. Take time daily to talk with your children about their interests and activities. Get to know your kids by asking about their lives, hopes, fears and concerns. Stay involved with their education.

Kids who make an effort to get good grades and are involved in school activities are far less likely to drink. Notice and compliment the good in your child.

Try to maintain at least a 4-to-1 ratio of positive comments to negative ones. In correcting behavior or giving consequences, make sure your child knows that he or she is still loved.

Help your children become competent and involved in worthwhile activities.8 Encourage them to cultivate a positive, optimistic attitude. Take time to listen with empathy to your kids’ concerns. Try to spend at least 15 minutes a day of one-on-one time.9 Repeating a phrase or two back to a child as they talk lets them know they were heard.

Stargazing Tips

by Linton Rohr

Lunar Eclipse in Prime Time!

First of all, I hope everyone has the correct date marked on their calendars. In my last column, I carelessly mentioned the 28th, which would be correct only in Europe. Here in the U.S., the full moon—and hence the eclipse - occurs on Sunday, the 27th. My apologies. My hope is that everyone is able to get out and enjoy this.

The last two or three lunar eclipses have required either staying up really late, or waking up in the middle of the night. The one coming up on Sunday night takes place right after sunset/moonrise, so it’ll be convenient for almost everyone to see. It also happens to be what’s referred to as the harvest moon.

This is the last in a series of four, referred to as a “tetrad”, so don’t miss this opportunity. The next one visible in Utah—or anywhere—will be January 31, 2018.

The sun will have just set, even as the moon is rising.

The full eclipse will last about 3 ½ hours, but the partial phase of the eclipse will already be in progress. “Totality” will begin at 8:11, when Luna enters the darkest part of Earth’s shadow—the “umbra”—and last 72 minutes. Then the lighter “penumbra” takes another hour or so to pass over and beyond the lunar surface. I like to try to visualize what’s actually taking place, as if somehow observing it from a few hundred miles above the North Pole. That just makes it all that much more amazing – and enjoyable!

The Earth is always casting its shadow out into space.

In fact, you can see it as a band of blue-gray above the eastern horizon in the twilight after sunset. Every month the full moon almost crosses through it. But variations in its erratic orbit cause it to pass either above or below the shadow.

The timing and positioning have to be just right.

Speaking of orbital variations, Luna’s closest approach, or “perigee”, of 2015 happens to be just 59 minutes before mid-eclipse. So this will quite likely be the largest eclipsed moon we ever see!

An astronaut standing on the moon (remember when we used to send them there?) would be seeing a solar eclipse! They’d see the dark side of Earth move in front of the sun. The reddish colors of all the Earth’s sunrises and sunsets would encircle the globe. And that’s what illuminates the moon with the coppery red color that we see from here. The longer red wavelengths of sunlight pass our atmosphere more easily than the shorter blue bandwidths.

The blue bandwidths scatter more easily, which is why the sky normally appears blue. A little blue does manage to get through though sometimes, creating subtle purple shades.

Very cool.

Aside from the eclipse, Venus is now gracing the pre-dawn sky, having passed between Earth and the old Sol ‘recently’. It’s amazingly high already and shining very brightly. I recently noticed Jupiter is also a “morning star” now too, though much lower. Mars is about half way in between them, near the bright star Regulus, which is ‘the front foot of Leo’.

Autumn began yesterday. Day and night are of equal length and the sun rose exactly east and set exactly west.

And the sky continues to shift, along with the seasons.

The Heritage Starfest is coming up quickly… October 9 & 10 in Capitol Reef and Torrey. More on that next time.

Van Dyke, Attorney for Petitioner Published in The Wayne and Garfield County Insider on SEPTEMBER 10, 17 & 24, 2015 LEGAL NOTICE OF INTENT TO APPROVE STATE OF UTAH A Notice of Intent for the following project submitted in accordance with R307-401-1, Utah Administrative Code (UAC), has been received for consideration by the Director, Utah Division of Air Quality: Company Name: Ticaboo Utility Improvement District Location: Ticaboo Utility Improvement District – Daryl P. Winters Power Plant, 135 West Mesa Way, Ticaboo, UT, Garfield County Project Description: On May 19, 2015, Ticaboo Utility Improvement District (TUID) submitted a NOI requesting changes in the electrical generation equipment at its existing power plant located near the town of Ticaboo in Garfield County, Utah. Garfield County is an attainment area for all pollutants. The NOI was supplemented on June 9, 2015 with additional information on VOC emissions and clarification of the equipment list. In addition, TUID requested an update to the listed name and source location of the power plant, although the physical and mailing addresses of the home office will remain unchanged. While the power plant is not being physically moved, its listed location for legal purposes and given name have both changed and are reflected in this permitting action.

The source consists of four diesel-fired, internal combustion, electrical generation engines. All engines are Tier III or Tier IVi rated with significant emission reductions over the previously installed equipment. The existing two storage tanks will remain on site to store diesel fuel for the engines. As a result of this project, TUID anticipates the following tons per year change in emissions: PM10 = -13.88, PM2.5 (a subset of PM10) = -13.88, NOx = -40.77, SO2 = -15.67, CO = -4.62, VOC = N/A, total HAPs = -0.01, GHG (expressed as CO2e) = -1753.1. Total expected yearly emissions (potential to emit) following these reductions are as follows (all values still in tons per year): PM10 = 0.22, PM2.5 = 0.22, NOx = 7.43, SO2 = 0.63, CO = 1.48, VOC = 0.36, total HAPs = 0.1, GHG (expressed as CO2e) = 561.6. (** VOC emissions were incorrectly calculated in the previous AO, PTE information on VOC emissions could not be obtained from the original equipment manufacturer) The completed engineering evaluation and air quality impact analysis showed that the proposed project meets the requirements of federal air quality regulations and the State air quality rules. The Director intends to issue an Approval Order pending a 30-day public comment period. The project proposal, estimate of the effect on local air quality and draft Approval Order are available for public inspection and comment at the Utah Division of Air Quality, 195 North 1950 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116.

Written comments received by the Division at this same address on or before October 24, 2015 will be considered in making the final decision on the approval/disapproval of the proposed project. Email comments will also be accepted at jjenks@utah.gov.

If anyone so requests to the Director in writing within 15 days of publication of this notice, a hearing will be held in accordance with R307-401-7, UAC. Under Section 19-1-301.5, a person who wishes to challenge a Permit Order may only raise an issue or argument during an adjudicatory proceeding that was raised during the public comment period and was supported with sufficient information or documentation to enable the Director to fully consider the substance and significance of the issue. If you have any questions contact Jeanell Collings, who may be reached at (801) 5364050.
