John Mosley had been interpreting the sky to family, friends, and the public since he got his first telescope in 1956. He said of himself, “I was a passionate amateur astronomer beginning in the first grade!”

While enjoying the night sky in his backyard

Comet, taught astronomy at the college level and to teachers, and conducted weekend astronomy workshops for families on Palomar Mountain and elsewhere. He edited magazines and a professional journal, wrote a bi-weekly column on the sky that appeared in the Los Angeles Times for six years, and recorded a weekly Sky Report that was very popular for 26 years. He coordinated public star parties sponsored by Hansen Planetarium and Griffith Observatory for 35 years.

As a lifetime member of Dark Sky International, John continued to remain active in promoting the preservation of the visibility of the night sky through the wise use of nighttime lighting.

Stellar Vista Observatory is immensely grateful to John Mosley for having composed and freely shared an uninterrupted series of 183 consecutive "Weekly Sky Reports" from April ,2020, through October, 2023. Each "Sky Report" is archived and available to the public on the SVO website at https:// stellarvistaobservatory.org/ category/sky-reports/.

Editor's Note: We at The Insider have been so grateful for and enjoyed John's "Weekly Sky Reports," as we are sure many of our readers have as well.

His voice provided us a window into the great wonders of the night sky, and its absence will be greatly felt. Our thoughts are with his friends and family, and thank you, John, for sharing your passion with us.

So, he approached me and asked if I would coach. I accepted and have really enjoyed it ever since.”

Coach Norris’ dedication, passion, and commitment to his players and his community have not only led to his success as a coach but have also helped shape the lives of countless young athletes over the years. His success this year is the result of a team effort, and he is quick to credit his fellow coaches, supportive parents, and the Panguitch community for their role in the team’s success.

Houston says she enjoys sharing her knowledge and expertise with her peers, and she believes that by working together, they can provide better support and guidance to their students. “My favorite part about being an educator is working with other staff members and the students,” said Houston.

Norris added, “It is always really fun and exciting to coach a team to a state championship, especially when the boys and girls win in track. Very little of the credit for winning is mine. We have fantastic coaches that love the sport, understand it really well, and love the kids.

We have been blessed in Panguitch with really good athletes, and kids that work hard and have great support from their parents and the community.”

Is Estate Planning Needed?

by Jeffery J. McKenna The knowledge that we will eventually die is one of the things that distinguishes humans from other living beings. At the same time, no one likes to dwell on the prospect of his or her own death. But if you postpone planning for your demise until it is too late, you run the risk that your intended beneficiaries— those you love the most— may not receive what you would want them to receive whether due to extra administration costs, unnecessary taxes or squabbling among your heirs.

This is why estate planning is so important. It allows you, while you are still living, to ensure that your property will go to the people you want, in the way you want, and when you want. It permits you to save as much as possible on taxes, court costs and attorneys' fees; and it affords the comfort that your loved ones can mourn your loss without being simultaneously burdened with unnecessary red tape and financial confusion.

If you don’t take the necessary steps to create your own estate plan, the state intestate succession statute will apply. Every

state has a default plan if someone dies without their own estate plan. The state’s default plan may not be what you would have wanted.

All estate plans should include, at minimum, two important estate planning instruments: a durable power of attorney and a will.

The first is for managing your property during your life, in case you are ever unable to do so yourself.

The second is for the management and distribution of your property after death.

In addition, more and more, Americans also are using revocable (or "living") trusts to avoid probate and to manage their estates both during their lives and after they're gone.

Although a revocable trust is just another tool for estate planning, if properly prepared and funded, it can avoid the probate process. It is important to note, a will cannot avoid probate. A will guides the probate process and makes it easier, but a will only becomes effective once a probate proceeding validates it as the decedent’s last will and testament.

I hope you found this information helpful for you or someone you know.

There was an elderly couple who in their old age noticed that they were getting a lot more forgetful, so they decided to go to the doctor. The doctor told them that they should start writing things down so they don't forget.

They went home and the old lady told her husband to get her a bowl of ice cream. "You might want to write it down," she said.

The husband said, "No, I can remember that you want a bowl of ice cream."

She then told her husband she wanted a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream.

"Write it down," she told him, and again he said, "No, no, I can remember: you want a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream." Then the old lady said she wants a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream and a cherry on top. "Write it down," she told her husband and again he said, "No, I got it. You want a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream and a cherry on top."

So he goes to get the ice cream and spends an unusually long time in the kitchen, over 30 minutes.

He comes out to his wife and hands her a plate of eggs and bacon.

The old wife stares at the plate for a moment, then looks at her husband and asks, "Where's the toast?"

Baby on Board

A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The bus driver says, "That's the ugliest baby that I've ever seen. Ugh!" The woman goes to the rear of the bus and sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her, "The driver just insulted me!"

The man says, "You go right up there and tell him off—go ahead, I'll hold your monkey for you."

Pregnancy

A 3 years old boy sits near a pregnant woman.

Boy: Why do you look so fat? Pregnant woman: I have a baby inside me.

Boy: Is it a good baby?

Pregnant woman: Yes, it is a very good baby. Boy: Then why did you eat it?!

Alvin Douglas Bradshaw 1941 - 2023

SPRY / PANGUITCH - Alvin Douglas Bradshaw (Al) passed away on October 31, 2023, at his home in Spry, Utah. He was preceded in death by his parents, Alvin and LaRine Bradshaw.

He is survived by his son Lynn Price, and daughters Lisa Larson and Cindi Barrett. His stepdaughters, Michelle and Becky, and his grandson Eric, who lived with him for many years.

His brothers Wendell Bradshaw (Connie) and Gordon Bradshaw (Jessica).

His sisters, Nadine Lovell (Paul); Gloria McDermott (Richard) and Rosalyn Woolsey (Boyd).

Doug was a free spirit who loved life, who walked the path of the road less traveled. He always found joy in the journey, rather it was hunting, prospecting or spending time with his family and friends. He loved Panguitch and his life there, living on the family ranch and raising cattle.

Doug loved his daily ritual of coffee with his friends, a little time each day to relax and solve the problems of the world.

Our family would like to thank his community of friends who gave of their time and friendship to help Doug in his time of need; we loved him, and he will be truly missed.

Burial will be in the Beaver Cemetery. Online condolences or memories can be sent to www.maglebymortuary.com.

Joseph Ivor Riggs

HATCH - Joseph Ivor Riggs, age 93, passed away peacefully November 8th, in Cedar City, UT surrounded by family.

Ivor was born in Hatch, UT in 1930 in his grandma's southwest bedroom to Joseph Earnest Riggs and Elizabeth Ardell Riggs. He was the only son in a family of 7 children.

He grew up helping on the farm, teasing and looking after his sisters. As a young man, he served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the North Central States.

Right after his mission, he was called to serve as an MP in the Army, stationed in Korea.

When he returned, he met and fell in love with a beautiful, enchanting voiced young woman, Elaine Truman. They married in 1956 and welcomed 4 adorable children into the world. Michelle, Brad, Lesli and Leonard; 5 grandchildren and 2 greatgrandchildren.

While raising his family, he graduated BYU University with a Bachelor of Science. He accepted a job with the State of Utah as the Bookmobile Librarian. As a lifetime reader and favorite of any child in his vicinity, it was the perfect job for him. He was a life-long rancher and farmer.

He served as the bishop of the Hatch ward and in many other capacities in the church.

He always put his family first, he cooked the yummiest food, he told great stories and he was a favorite of everyone that loved him. He was generous, caring and he delighted in his grandkids and great grandkids.

Ivor is survived by his wife, Elaine, and children Michelle Riggs (Renea Stillwell), Brad Riggs, Lesli RiggsArnold (Robert Arnold) and grandchildren Cheri Yazzie (Mat Gunnufson), Jory Riggs, Mischa Riggs Allen (Cory Allen), Robby Witt, Michael Dolce-Riggs and great grandchildren Maceo Gunnufson, Evelyn Dolce-Riggs.

He was preceded in death by his son Leonard Riggs.

A graveside service was scheduled for Monday, November 13th, 2023, at 1:00 p.m., at Hatch City Cemetery on Highway 89, Garfield County, Utah 84735. Hatch Cemetery is a small cemetery, and there is limited parking. Attendees were asked to please consider finding alternate parking and/or carpooling. There is limited seating also so attendees were asked to bring their own chair.

Last week on Halloween, the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) held a very successful dinner on Center Street and fed about 250 folks with some great Navajo Tacos. With all of the trunk or treats that went on up town, we only had three trick-or-treaters that showed up. However, there aren’t many people that live on Main Street, so maybe they went where the fields were greener.

This last weekend was really busy with the Panguitch Craft Fair Thanks to Mandy and Karla. On both days, I was there, and there were tons of people buying goodies and gifts for their loved ones. The Sub for Santa candy booth did really well. Many thanks to all of the candy makers and bakers for all of the great selling items. Many thanks to Tammy Houston and Kim Brinkerhoff for all the work they put in with their volunteer friends in raising money for Sub for Santa. Most of the people I talked to on Saturday said that they did real well with selling their products.

Claudia Crump made a Christmas quilt for a drawing on Saturday, December 2nd, when Santa comes to town to visit the kids. It was on display at the Craft Fair, and it will be at the bank until the drawing. Claudia makes the quilt for the Sub for Santa activity, and the bank sells tickets and shows the quilt off until the drawing at the Panguitch Social Hall.

What a team!

Saturday, the 11th, was Veterans Day, and that eve-

ning, the American Legion put on their annual veterans dinner. The food was great and was done by Ralph Perkins of the Cowboy's Smokehouse Cafe. Their fine cooks and servers—Stefen, his friend, Sarah, and her two sons, Wade and Jack— were the team that cooked, served, and cleaned up. The food was buffet style, and, that way, we could take as much or as little as we wanted. And, boy, was it good! Pat and Shawn spent a lot of time decorating, and Shawn supplied the video of the writing of our national anthem.

Kelly and our granddaughter, Berkley, from Cedar spent all day working at the Craft Fair, as well as the veterans dinner. Everyone seemed to have a good time, and the American Legion is proud to honor all veterans for their time in the military and making our country safe.

On Friday 10th, the elementary school had an assembly honoring the veterans in our area. This well done event is always entertaining and fun to go to and watch the young children sing so many songs.

This Friday kind of caught me by surprise. Basketball season is starting on the 17th, with the boys playing three games. Their season gets earlier each year.

I will have a schedule next week so that I can tell you where the teams are playing.

It is not too late to get your season pass. It is good for all sports—boys and girls basketball, boys wrestling, and girls volleyball.

This weekend is the An-

nual Festival of Trees. On Friday the 17th at 11:00 to 3:00 p.m., the trees will be on display at the fair building, and you can walk among the lights from 6 - 8. There will be hot cocoa and cookies for purchase. Saturday, the 18th, the trees will be on display at 8:00 a.m. From 10:15 to 11:00 a.m., there will be a program, and at 11:00, there will be a live auction for the trees. All of the proceeds will be donated to the Garfield Memorial Hospital and the Garfield County Nursing Home.

I do believe that there is an election on the 21st for a congressional seat in our district. Also, we have three openings on our City Council. We are voting by mail again, so send off your ballet. I thought that Election Day was on the first Tuesday of November, but only 13 states held their elections on that date.

Thanksgiving is coming a little early this year.

November has five Thursdays in it, and it is on the 23rd. We will be serving our 16th annual turkey dinner at the Panguitch Senior Citizens Center at 12:30. All are invited. It is difficult to cook a turkey for a small number, so why do it? The meal is free, and it is all you can eat, so come down and meet with new friends. We have a lot of new homes, and this is a good way to enjoy a meal and get acquainted.

We have a couple of events on the first Saturday in December. The wrestlers will start here in Panguitch on the 1st and finish on Saturday the 2nd. Last year, the

Cats won their own tournament for the first time, and they will be working hard to repeat.

That Saturday the 2nd will be Christmas in the Country, and Santa will make his stop at the Social Hall starting at 10:00 a.m. Santa will be riding in on the big fire engine with the sirens blaring and horn honking. There will be treats for all. Then Santa flies to the care center for the residents there.

And last of the list of things is a car show at the Triple C Arena on December 8 - 9. On Friday evening at 7:00 p.m., there will be a light parade going down Center and on to Main Street. I have been to the light parade in Richfield, and it was made up of all kinds of vehicles with lights on them. It was a big parade, so maybe this will be a start of something for the town. Saturday will be the Car Show at the Triple C Arena and will run from 9:00 to 2:00. There will be fun things to do, with a Pinewood Derby, horseshoes, a climbing wall and a jump house.

On the national front, it seems that Congress went from bad to worse. In his first proposal, the new Speaker, Mike Johnson, proposed sending $14 billion to Israel, but to pay for it, he included cuts to the IRS. He left off any money for Ukraine. Now, our budget is about to run out in a week or so, and the GOP, so far, doesn’t have any plans to extend the budget.

Obituaries Steve Marshall PANGUITCH - Steven Monte Marshall, 78, passed away peacefully in his home in Panguitch, surrounded by his wife and children. Steve was born in Panguitch on January 20, 1945, to Monte D. Marshall and Cleo Tebbs. He lived life to the fullest. Some might even say he lived life to the extreme—never doing anything halfway and always being motivated by deep and passionate interests. His enthusiasm for life influenced everyone around him. He always led by example, worked hard, served others, and instilled those ethics in all of his children and grandchildren.

Steve grew up in Panguitch and was the oldest of five children. In his early years, he enjoyed training and jockeying horses, hunting, fishing, and wrestling.

Steve had a profound and lifelong love of learning. If he wasn’t actively doing something, he could be found reading or studying something—taking notes that could be found with nearly every book or magazine he read. This love of learning carried him through his education. He graduated from Panguitch High School in 1963. He then moved on to graduate from Dixie College and, ultimately, the University of Utah College of Pharmacy.

Steve married his sweetheart, Marilyn Allen, on August 26, 1972, in the St. George Temple. They had seven children: Anne, Sam, McKenzie, Colin, Jocelyn, Shaun, and Skye.

Steve was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

He served an honorable, full-time mission in the Northern States (US and Canada) Mission. Some of his favorite church callings were Scoutmaster, Elders Quorum presidency of the Panguitch Lake Branch, and teaching gospel doctrine to inmates in the Garfield County Jail.

Steve remained a man of many talents, hobbies, and interests. He was a talented musician who played the guitar and sang in community musicals and church choirs. He had a passion for creative writing and wrote many poems. He was a farrier and enjoyed shoeing horses. He loved photography, photographing the outdoors, and documenting his travels with Marilyn, starting with a 5-month honeymoon tour across Europe in a Volkswagen van. They also traveled to many US National Parks, Africa, China, Albania, Peru, Greece, Mexico, the Amazon Rainforest, and Tahiti.

Steve was an intense competitor. He wrestled in high school and college and coached all his sons through many years of wrestling. He loved biking, swimming, running, climbing, hiking, skiing, and competed in many triathlons and full and half marathons until his late 60s. His children and grandchildren were often coerced into healthy athletic competition, being bribed to compete or even paid to engage in a challenge. Steve always knew the value of pushing yourself against strong competition.

In his later years, Steve enjoyed spending time at his cabin at Panguitch Lake, hiking, hunting, and horse riding in the hills. His friends and family hold precious memories of those hikes, hunts, and horse rides.

Steve loved Panguitch and was a valued community member as a business owner and Pharmacist. He was proud of the business he built, and people often commented on how beautiful the Panguitch Drug Store was and how much they loved it. He served on the Panguitch Chamber of Commerce, working hard to improve and maintain Panguitch Main Street and help keep a historical look to the buildings. He served many years on the Board of Trustees at Southern Utah University and The Bryce Canyon Natural History Association.

Steve was a staple in the community. But, much more than that, he was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He was a loyal and trusted friend. He was a man of integrity and honor. He will be sorely missed by all who had the good fortune of knowing him and being known by him.

Funeral services were held in his honor on Tuesday, November 14, 2023, at 12:00 Noon. Friends called Monday for a viewing from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. or Tuesday from 10:30-11:30 a.m. Burial was in the Panguitch Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you donate to the Alzheimer’s Association https://www.alz.org

Jubilee of Trees to Celebrate 40 Years of Helping St. George Residents Live Healthier Lives by Expanding Vital Surgical Services to Meet Growing Need ST. GEORGE - The Jubilee of Trees is celebrating its 40th year of benefitting patients at Intermountain St. George Regional Hospital by expanding and enhancing surgical services to meet a growing regional need.

The annual community holiday event will begin with a Gala Dinner and Auction on Saturday, Nov. 18, and remain open Sunday, Nov. 19, through Tuesday, Nov. 21, at the Dixie Convention Center in St. George. All funds raised will increase the hospital’s capacity to care for the community with worldclass surgical services.

The Jubilee of Trees, which is hosted by the Intermountain Foundation, is a magical holiday experience featuring a winter wonderland of beautifully decorated trees, wreaths, gingerbread houses, and more created by volunteers from Utah, Arizona and Nevada.

It’s brought to life by a dedicated community volunteer board whose members enlist the time and talents of families, organizations, and businesses throughout Utah and neighboring states.

“We are grateful for the community members who responded to our ‘Christmas in July’ call for Jubilee of Trees volunteers, and are generously giving of their time and talent to support this cherished event,” said Loriana De Crescenzo, executive director of Intermountain Foundation at St. George Regional Hospital. “We invite the southern Utah community to be inspired by their work, to believe in the magic of Christmas, and join us Nov. 18-21 to

help expand much-needed surgical services in our community.”

Tickets are available at https://JOT23.eventbrite. com.

The need for surgical services is rapidly growing in the region. St. George is Utah’s third-fastest-growing city—an area with the highest percentage of seniors in the state.

The hospital is adding up to seven new surgeons every year to accommodate the increased demand, but additional space and technology are needed to better meet community needs now and in the future.

Intermountain St. George Regional Hospital is a high-level trauma center. Because of that, it’s critical to maintain 24-hour trauma services and surgical coverage by general and specialty surgeons, including cardiology, orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, anesthesiology, emergency medicine, radiology, and critical care.

That expertise was urgently needed by Brittany Millington, a mother of 4-year-old twins and a nurse at Intermountain St. George Regional Hospital, when she suffered a rare and serious injury on an outing with friends last year.

During a late evening snowstorm in Enterprise, Utah, Brittany slipped and fell while walking back to her friend’s vehicle. Her leg dislocated and was positioned sideways from the knee down. Unable to relocate the leg herself, she realized she’d need to find shelter from the snow quickly. She managed to pull herself to the vehicle before passing out from the pain.

Her friend later found, and stayed, with Brittany until an ambulance arrived.

First responders sedated Brittany with IV medication and put her leg back into place. But they couldn’t detect a pulse on her foot. She had ruptured her femoral artery, torn her ligaments, and had compartment syndrome, which is when the injury puts intense pressure

on the muscle and can lead to permanent damage or death without treatment.

She needed surgery right away to save her leg.

The hospital called in an extra trauma surgeon to take care of her.

Brittany’s next memory is waking up from surgery with two pins in her femur, two more in her tibia, and four rods to hold her leg in alignment.

“They told me I’d almost lost my leg, and if it hadn’t been for the operating room team, I wouldn’t be able to walk normally.

I’m very, very fortunate and grateful for everyone,” she said.

Brittany has required additional surgeries and follow-up care while healing. She is physically active again, and even able jump on the trampoline with her children.

“They were really excited about that one,” she said. “I’m a very hands-on mom. They’re my world.

Now I can run with them and play.”

The Jubilee of Trees will not only help increase access to surgical services in St. George area communities, but help upgrade technology to allow more precise, less invasive surgical procedures that yield better outcomes and shorter healing times.

“With your support, care at our hospital will continue to exceed expectations as this region has become one of the most sought-after destinations to live the healthiest life possible,” said Patrick Carroll, MD, neonatologist and medical director of Intermountain St. George Regional Hospital. “Join us at this year’s Jubilee of Trees, and our efforts to continue to push the boundaries of healthcare and to redefine what’s possible in emergency care delivered locally and beyond.”

Schools and Sports Escalante Prevention Coalition Activities Educate & Encourage Family Bonding

by Nancy Goude

Music Presentation:

Perhaps Adolphe Sax, who invented the saxophone in the 1840s, would have been surprised to learn that his birthday was celebrated in 2023 in Boulder, Utah. Local resident Don Budzinski led a Saxophone Show-and-Tell at Boulder Elementary School on November 6 in his honor.

Deputy Sheriff Durfey stands at the Escalante Prevention Coalition table outside Griffin's Grocery and distributes Scavenger Hunt bags in October as part of the coalition's ongoing efforts to educate and promote healthy lifestyles and family and community bonding.

ESCALANTE - The Escalante Prevention Coalition (EPC) has been hard at work with activities designed to engage community members in prevention efforts to help make our community safer and healthier.

The Coalition hosted a Take Back Drug Day on October 5 at the Kazan Memorial Clinic in coordination with other events held throughout the country by the Drug Enforcement Agency. Across the country, 4,383 law enforcement agencies held community-based events to help people dispose of unneeded medications to help reduce drug addiction, overdose and drug-related crime.

This was the second annual Take Back Drug Day locally. Escalante Prevention Coalition Coordinator Heather Dunton said, “We took in eight pounds of medications this year and that is up from just one pound in our first year.”

The Take Back Drug Day focuses on educating people on the legality and risks of sharing medications with someone other than who it is prescribed to because dosing is personspecific and based on factors like height, weight and other health conditions.

Taking medications that are prescribed to someone else has potentially life-threatening consequences for the person taking the medication and legal consequences for the person for whom the medication is prescribed.

“We educate people on the risks and legality of hoarding and sharing medications. It is important for people to understand that prescriptions are personspecific,” said Dunton.

The Take Back Drug Day is held each October and there is a drop-box at the Kazan Memorial Clinic that is available for medication disposal when the clinic is open, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Following Take Back Drug Day, the Coalition was back at it with a Scavenger Hunt on October 18,

which saw families shopping for items together at Griffin’s Grocery and then preparing a spaghetti dinner together.

“We sponsor activities like the Scavenger Hunt to encourage family attachment. The goals is to get families engaged and collaborating in activities,” said Dunton.

The activities that the Escalante Prevention Coalition host are based on Social Development Strategy’s key components to increase preventative factors for young people and community members.

Those components are: Healthy beliefs and clear standards for behavior, bonding, opportunities, and skills and recognition.

The goal of EPC activities is to help families create healthy behaviors for all children and youth. Research shows that meeting the goal of healthy youth begins with healthy beliefs and clear standards, and by building bonding, attachment and commitment in families, schools, in community and amongst peer groups. By providing opportunities, skills and recognition and nurturing individual characteristics, the EPC organizes activities to support local youth, their families and the community of Escalante.

The EPC relies on the Social Development Strategy, as well as local data gathered every two years to help parents feel empow-

ered, set boundaries, engage in bonding activities and monitor their children.

“Simple conversations build bonds between parents and their children.

We help parents, the youth and community mentors build skills and get people comfortable participating in prevention efforts for addiction and suicide,” said Dunton. “Our activities are centered around bonding, boundaries and monitoring to help keep the kids and community members safe.”

Some of the educational materials and activities provided by the EPC include: having difficult conversations, refusal skills, peer pressure, decision making, communication, conflict management and classes to help parents effectively guide good choices.

Dunton is excited to be offering the first opento-the-public “Question.

Persuade. Refer.” (QPR) suicide prevention training on November 30, 2023. The training is one and a half hours long and takes place at the Community Center at 6 p.m., and all community members are invited to participate.

In addition, EPC’s five-session parenting workshop, Guiding Good Choices feature informational sessions on: Strengthening Family Bonds, Reducing Family Conflict, Family Organization, Family Skill Building, How to Talk to Your Kids about

Drug & Alcohol Prevention and much more. Each parenting session is one and a half hours long. There is a childcare scholarship available for parents wishing to attend the workshops.

The last event the EPC is holding for 2023 is the Gingerbread house building contest. The kits will be distributed around the Thanksgiving break, and the contest will be held in coordination with the elementary school holiday program. Individuals and businesses can contact Dunton at 435-616-4070 or hdunton@sbhcutah.org for more information on QPR training and other prevention resources or to get on the interest lists for the upcoming workshops.

him, the presentation was an opportunity to “spread an awareness of how invigorating and profound music can be—especially trying to make your own.

Music and art are the first to go when budget-cutting at schools is necessary and that is very sad for us as a supposedly civilized society.”

It’s clear that the students at Boulder Elementary receive music education: prior to the presentation, a number of students could be heard playing tambourine in an adjacent room. In addition to bringing in occasional treats such as Budzinski’s presentation, the school has a music program throughout the year and many students also play instruments at home.

These instruments include everything from the guitar, to the piano, to the drums to Carmen Rice’s instrument of choice: a kazoo made from horsetail.

The students were eloquent and creative when describing music.

Throughout the presentation, Budzinski played a number of jazzy tunes and asked for students to describe them. Discussion ensued amongst students about whether pieces were funk jazz or smooth jazz or other types of jazz. Chloe Salstrom articulately described one piece as “bow ties and top hats.”

Budzinski also provided the students with a dose of saxophone history.

“Did you know that music came before language?”

he asked, encouraging them to imagine our early ancestors inspired by bird song. He showed a photograph of a 60,000 year old flute made from bear bone found in Slovenia, and played a primitivestyle flute from Guatemala, describing how the saxophone could not have existed without this slow and steady evolution of instruments.

Building on this history, he described how Etta Morgan was advertised in the 1870s as the only lady saxophone player in the world (and faced discrimination for playing what was considered a “man’s instrument”) at a time before many people knew what a saxophone was. She toured across America, even playing in Salt Lake City.

The saxophone, since Morgan’s time, has had a huge impact throughout the world. “I try to be an advocate for jazz, our country's contribution to world culture,” Budzinski commented.

“It's loved and respected more elsewhere than in the country of its birth and that shouldn't be. The saxophone is the instrument most closely associated with jazz and so by promoting one I promote the other,” he continued.

The show-and-tell ended, appropriately and by request, with a rendition of “Happy Birthday” played by Budzinski and accompanied by the students. If Sax were to be alive today, this would have been his 209th birthday.

had the biggest pile of dead creatures won. As you can imagine, this yearly custom put a heavy strain on birds and bird populations at the time.

Thankfully, what resulted from this gruesome tradition was a push by conservationists, including ornithologist Frank M. Chapman, to tweak the Side Hunt so that participants counted birds instead of outright killing them. And thus, the first Christmas Bird Count took place on Christmas day in the year 1900.

Today, the Bird Count is one of the largest citizen science efforts held anywhere in the world, with over 120 years of data, and over twenty countries participating in the western hemisphere. As an earlywinter bird census, this brings key data about bird population health across time. This is especially critical now, as we learn more about how birds are responding to a rapidly changing climate.

Locally, residents and visitors have participated in the Christmas Bird Count for thirty-one years. Last year, participants counted and identified more than 3,000 birds representing over seventy species inand-around Bryce Canyon, Kanab, Escalante, Utah, and Page, Arizona.

Dates have been set for most CBCs across the country. If you plan to participate, you must contact the appropriate Compiler for route assignments.

Dates and other info are as follows: Escalante CBC Thursday, December 14.

Contact me, Marvin Contreras as Compiler at marvin1725@protonmail.com.

I can email/mail/deliver the requisite forms, and you can return them via those methods. I will also be happy to meet in-person with anyone who has questions or needs more information.

On the day of the count, we will be meeting in-person in the conference room of the Escalante Interagency Visitor Center at 8:00 AM. There will also be an optional gathering after the

count where we can all chat about the adventures and the birds we saw throughout the day.

stalled at the Cemetery after discussing this with the Water Company.

The Halloween TrunkOr-Treat was a very fun event. Betsy Hilton was thanked for organizing it for the last three years.

Tree City is working on assessing street trees.

They have a tree initiative of planting 10,000 trees in the community in ten years.

When anyone in town plants a tree, they should contact Tree City so that they will be counted. They have a number of upcoming workshops that will be advertised.

A candidate for the Zoning Administrator position has been found.

The speed humps at the school will be replaced as soon as possible.

Robert's Rules training was reviewed. Points about public hearings were shared, including limiting each public comment to three minutes.

A public comment period followed. A member of the PC stated that the PC would benefit by getting input from the Town Attorney earlier in their process. A member of the public stated that he is willing to do research and support the town in understanding Robert’s Rules and following procedures.

A public hearing on the Housekeeping Ordinance occurred. The Housekeeping Ordinance is a collection of changes aiming to ensure ordinances match actual policy, including removing various contradictions and irrelevant charts.

A member of the public commented on the section that requires that shared driveways are maintained by landowners pursuant to a Road Agreement, and asked what happens if landowners cannot agree. The section goes on to say that this will be enforceable by the town, and they asked how. A PC member responded that this section will be applicable if

access from a new subdivision goes through a neighbors property. They also stated that the intent of having the town enforcement is to require public safety and fire truck access.

The TC discussed. A member of the TC asked what right the town has to enforce conditions of a private driveway. Discussion with the Town Attorney has occurred. The intention behind the language includes that the TC had adopted international wildland fire code, and this way it is enforceable by the town that all public and private streets be up to standards.

It was asked whether making these housekeeping changes now is worthwhile, since the town is going to have to make changes within the next year anyway to meet state legislation. It was responded that, as there are several subdivision applications in the pipeline that will come to the PC before the changes will have to be made, the changes are important. The TC commended the PC for their hard work on this ordinance.

A proposal by Lisa Varga and other local dog owners was presented to donate and install a Mutt Mitt Station, which holds pet waste bags, at the town pavilion. This would be similar to the one located near the free bin. It would be attached to the restroom building. The TC approved the proposal, and the station will be installed.

A quote from OnSolve was presented, which would support the town’s emergency response plan. If a wildfire or other emergency occurred, the town would be able to send out emergency response messages to everyone who had provided contact information. Someone would have to be chosen to initiate the response, with backup options in case this person isn’t available.

The call list will have to be entered into the system by an administrator. More information will be gathered

over the coming month.

The Boulder Arts Council and Boulder Community Alliance are interested in helping with the town signs. Funding is available from the Travel Council, however, the town would have to apply in December and the groups would like more time. The TC agreed that this shouldn’t be rushed.

Funding can be applied for in a future cycle.

Ordinance changes regarding the PC Clerk/Recording Secretary were discussed. This position will be encompassed within the TC Clerk position, which would leave ordinance language that does not match town practice. Instead of rushing to change the ordinances, the TC discussed adding the titles of PC Clerk and Recording Secretary to the Town Clerk’s title so that the ordinances would remain accurate.

The attorney will look into this.

A work meeting on the pedestrian path project will be held on Tuesday, November 14 at 7 p.m. As it is a work meeting, there will be no public comments or voting. This is an opportunity for TC members to talk through what has been found out. The public is welcome to attend.

Meeting software is available that helps town bodies stay organized by tracking documents, recording actions, providing a transcript, and sorting information. Actions can be recorded throughout a meeting, so the minutes are completed by the end.

It would be connected with the town website so that information would be readily available. This would help the town stay in line with Robert’s Rules, supporting well-informed members of the town and public.

This would also streamline work for the Clerk. This will be kept in mind as members of the TC switch over after the election.

Business for December includes discussing cemetery culverts; the landfill position; voting on Housekeeping Amendments; a public hearing on average lot sizes; and assigning new titles to the Town Clerk as discussed, if approved by the attorney.

The Boulder Town Council meets on the first Thursday of each month at 7 p.m.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT [BLM_UT_FRN_MO4500170231] NOTICE OF REALTY ACTION NONCOMPETITIVE (DIRECT) SALE OF PUBLIC LAND IN GARFIELD COUNTY, UTAH AGENCY : Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION : Notice of realty action.

SUMMARY : The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is proposing a non-competitive (direct) sale of a 5.27acre parcel of public land in Garfield County, Utah, to Millard ‘‘Crockett’’ Dumas. The sale would resolve an inadvertent unauthorized use of public lands. The sale would be subject to the applicable provisions of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), as amended, and the BLM land sale regulations. The sale would be for no less than the appraised fair market value of $5,000.

DATES: Interested parties must submit written comments no later than December 11, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Mail written comments to BLM Kanab Field Office, Field Manager, 669 South Highway 89A, Kanab, UT 84741, or submit them online at https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/project/2020901/510.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brandon Johnson, Realty Specialist, BLM Utah State Office, phone: (435) 819–0016, email: kbjohnso@blm.gov. Individuals in the United States who are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to access telecommunications relay services. Individuals outside the United States should use the relay services offered within their country to make international calls to the point-of-contact in the United States.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 1970s, the adjacent landowner misinterpreted the boundary of their private property and inadvertently built flood retention structures, corrals, and a barn that encroached onto what is now an isolated parcel of public land. Mr. Dumas later purchased the private property and has nominated the public land parcel for direct sale. The parcel is only accessible through Mr. Dumas’ property. The BLM proposes to offer the land for direct sale to resolve the issue.

The following described public land in Garfield County has been examined and found suitable for sale under the authority of Sections 203 and 209 of FLPMA, as amended: Salt Lake Meridian, Utah T. 35 S., R. 3 E., Sec. 5, parcel A. The area described contains 5.27 acres, according to the official plat of survey of the said land, on file with the BLM. The proposed sale conforms with the BLM Kanab Field Office Resource Management Plan, approved in October 2008. There is no known mineral value in the parcel, so the mineral estate would also be conveyed, in accordance with Section 209 of FLPMA. The lands are identified as available for disposal and listed by the legal description in Appendix D on page A5–1. A parcel-specific environmental assessment (EA), document number DOI–BLM–UT– P020–2022–0013–EA, was prepared in connection with this realty action and may be viewed at https://eplanning.blm. gov/eplanning-ui/project/2020901/510.

The land is suitable for direct sale under FLPMA, without competition, consistent with 43 CFR 2711.3–3(a)(4), as direct sales may be used ‘‘when in the opinion of the authorized officer, a competitive sale is not appropriate and the public interest would best be served by a direct sale[,]’’ including when ‘‘the adjoining ownership pattern and access indicate a direct sale is appropriate[.]’’ The parcel is only accessible through Mr. Dumas’ private property, and no other potential bidder currently has legal access to this parcel. It is also suitable for direct sale consistent with 43 CFR 2711.3–3(a)(5) because there is a need to resolve an inadvertent and unauthorized use of public lands, which are encumbered by privately constructed improvements.

Pursuant to the requirements of 43 CFR 2711.1–2(d), publication of this notice in the Federal Register will segregate the land from all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining laws, except for the sale provisions of FLPMA. Until completion of the sale, the BLM will no longer accept land use applications affecting this public land. The segregative effect will terminate upon issuance of a patent, publication in the Federal Register of termination of the segregation, or on October 27, 2025, unless extended by the BLM Utah State Director in accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1–2(d) prior to the termination date.

The conveyance document, if issued, will include the following terms, covenants, conditions, and reservations: 1. A reservation to the United States for ditches and canals constructed by the authority of the United States under the Act of Aug. 30, 1890; 2. Valid existing rights issued prior to conveyance; 3. An appropriate indemnification clause protecting the United States from claims arising out of the purchaser’s use, occupancy, or operations on the conveyed lands; 4. Additional terms and conditions that the authorized officer deems appropriate. The EA, appraisal, maps, mineral potential report, and environmental site assessment are available for review at the location listed in the ADDRESSES section earlier. Interested parties may submit, in writing, any comments concerning the sale, including notifications of any encumbrances or other claims relating to the parcel (see ADDRESSES). The BLM Utah State Director will review adverse comments regarding the parcel and may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action, in whole or in part. In the absence of timely objections, this realty action will become the final determination of the Department of the Interior. In addition to publication in the Federal Register, the BLM will also publish this notice in The Insider newspaper, once a week, for three consecutive weeks. Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in your comments, the BLM will make your entire comment—including your personal identifying information— publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. (Authority: 43 CFR 2711) Gregory Sheehan, Utah State Director.
