Wayne Co. Residents Push for Data Center Ban While Officials Consider Regulations by Amiee Maxwell

by Kathryn Chamberlain

Nov. 2, 2026 WAYNE CO. - The Wayne County Commission approved the use of a $171,000 Rural Health Transformation Program grant during its Nov. 2 meeting, allowing Wayne County EMS to purchase equipment and improve emergency medical services. EMS Director Tiffany Martineau said the first-year funding will help purchase a fourwheel-drive quick-response truck, communication equipment, training technology and medical supplies. The new truck will allow an emergency medical provider to reach patients and begin treatment before an ambulance arrives. Martineau explained that the vehicle Wayne Commission Cont'd on A5

On November 4, Wayne County Planning and Zoning Commission members—(from left to right at table) Richard Jensen, Julie Howard, Travis VanOrden and (right near door) Marion Chappell—hold a work meeting to address potential data center development. WAYNE CO. - As Wayne County officials consider how to address potential data center development, residents are making their opposition clear. A county moratorium

on data center applications expires in early January, and officials are weighing whether to ban the facilities, regulate them, or leave the door open for future development.

Intermountain Health Opens New Specialized Pregnancy After Loss Clinic to Support Utah Families MURRAY - For many families, becoming pregnant again after a miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant death can bring a mix of hope, grief, anxiety, and uncertainty. Now, Intermountain Health is marking the opening of a rare, specialized clinic dedicated to supporting women and families who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss and are pursuing their hopes of growing their family in the future. The Intermountain Pregnancy After Loss Clinic at Intermountain Medical Center in Murray is one of only nine designated clinics in the nation to receive certification from the United States Pregnancy After Loss Support (USPAL) program. The new Intermountain clinic uses trauma-informed practices to provide comprehensive, compassionate care for women navigating the unique emotional and medical needs after pregnancy after loss. The Intermountain Health Pregnancy After Loss Clinic was created to address those unique emotional and medical needs by bringing enhanced support, coordinated care, and specialized expertise together in one setting. "There are so many questions and anxieties that happen for families when going through another pregnancy after experiencing a loss," said Jessica Page, MD, an OB-GYN

physician at the Intermountain Health Pregnancy After Loss Clinic at Intermountain Medical Center. "Our Pregnancy After Loss Clinic helps women and their families feel supported throughout their pregnancy journey by bringing compassionate support, coordinated care, and enhanced communication together in one convenient clinical setting. We also offer consultation services to support families and providers across a broader geographic region and plan to extend many of our resources to additional clinics in Intermountain Health." Pregnancy loss is more common than many people realize. More than 20,000 pregnancies end in stillbirth each year in the United States, and approximately one in four women will experience pregnancy loss during their lifetime. A cornerstone of the new Intermountain clinic's care model is recognizing the lasting emotional impact pregnancy and infant loss can have on parents and families. "A major part of our care model in the Pregnancy After Loss Clinic is recognizing the mental health aspect of care after pregnancy loss and ensuring it's top of mind in every interaction with our patients," said Liz Hernandez, senior practice manager for the clinic. "We know not everyone has access to the same family or peer support, so we work to ensure patients feel that

support with every caregiver they encounter." For Hernandez, the mission of the clinic is deeply personal. After experiencing the loss of one of her twins to Sudden Unexplained Infant Death (SUID) following a complicated twin pregnancy, she later navigated pregnancy after loss herself. Those experiences as both a patient and a mother have shaped her understanding of the fears and emotions families often carry into future pregnancies. As part of the USPAL certification process, clinics are required to involve a parent who has personally experienced pregnancy or infant loss. Hernandez brings that perspective into caregiver training and patient care, helping ensure compassion remains at the center of every family experience. All caregivers at the Intermountain Health Pregnancy After Loss Clinic complete specialized trauma-informed training designed to help them better understand and respond to the needs of patients who have experienced loss. Care plans are tailored to each family and include a strong emphasis on emotional wellbeing, mental health support, and connections with peers who have faced similar experiences. “Our goal is to create a consistent standard of compassionate care while improving outcomes for patients and families,” said

Hernandez. “Our caregivers use the latest research and evidence-based practices to guide care and help families feel informed and supported throughout their pregnancy journey.” In addition to caring for patients, the clinic will participate in research efforts focused on pregnancy and infant loss, helping advance understanding of why losses occur and how maternity care can continue to improve. "There are still so many unknowns about why pregnancy loss occurs," said Dr. Page. "Thanks to ongoing research, we've started to get some answers, which has given us the tools to better care for patients and support them through future pregnancies. We have a lot more to learn, and USPAL Network is working together to better understand how best care for patients who have experience prior loss." “The Intermountain Pregnancy After Loss Clinic reflects Intermountain Health's commitment to whole-person care by addressing both the physical and emotional needs of families during one of life's most vulnerable experiences,” added Dr. Page.

Section 3 of the moratorium states it is “intended solely to allow Wayne County adequate time to study, prepare, and adopt updated land use regulations governing data centers, data center power plants, and associated infrastructure….” Apparently, way back in June, the County P&Z had already determined that regulating data centers was the only choice. The “study” part was to study how to amend the zoning ordinance to

permit data centers. This strikes me as a flawed decision. It skips over the information and analysis needed to decide if data centers are good— or harmful—for the county, and jumps to the conclusion that data centers must be approved so they can be regulated. The possibility that a viable option would be to prohibit data centers appears not to have been on the table. At the recent County P&Z meeting on Novem-

ber 4, considerable hesitation was evident among the P&Z members about permitting data centers. They seemed willing to step back and give greater thought to whether data centers were a good thing for the county. This is heartening. It suggests P&Z may be returning to the point it should have started with—to carefully study this issue and determine whether to allow data centers in Wayne County. Bill Barrett, Torrey

Last week, while mulling over the hot topic of data centers in Wayne County, I realized I had never read the actual moratorium that was approved in early July. Like many others, I had always operated under the assumption the moratorium simply paused any action on data centers while the subject could be thoroughly studied and an acceptable path forward could be reached. I was wrong!

Work Meeting: We wanted to get ahead of this so

that we had a choice. At least this way we have an opportunity to have a conversation and say, ‘Hey, we want it, or we don’t,’ but where we're at right now, if somebody applies, they get it. —Michael Winn, Wayne County Attorney

Work Meeting Cont'd from A1

ceiving any applications. Residents have raised concerns about the demands data centers could place on local water and power resources, their environmental impacts, noise, infrastructure needs, and what their arrival would mean for the county’s future. Many question whether Wayne County should open its doors to large-scale technology development instead of prioritizing agriculture, natural resources, and other industries historically important to the county. At the October 21, 2026 Planning and Zoning Board work session, members outlined three options: ban data centers on private property within the county’s land-use jurisdiction, create an ordinance to regulate them, or take no action and address the issue only if an application is received after the moratorium expires. Wayne County Attorney Michael Winn said the county has the legal authority to adopt a ban. County Treasurer Colleen Allen noted, however, that county land-use regulations apply to private property within its jurisdiction, not state or federal lands. If a data center were proposed on state or federal property, she said, “we don't have any way to regulate it.” Winn warned that waiting until an application arrives could limit the county’s options. Without clear rules in place, a developer could seek approval under the existing ordinance. The moratorium, he said, was meant to give the county time to decide what it wants before facing a specific proposal. “We wanted to get ahead of this so that we had a choice,” Winn said. “At least this way we

have an opportunity to have a conversation and say, ‘Hey, we want it, or we don’t,’ but where we're at right now, if somebody applies, they get it.” Residents who have weighed in with county officials have largely called for an outright ban. They argue that the county lacks the water, power, and infrastructure to support them and that the potential impacts outweigh any economic benefits. Several Wayne County residents took it upon themselves to survey the community about potential data center development. The “Wayne County Resident Survey on Data Centers” was created using Google Forms and shared through multiple Facebook pages and email. A total of 177 community members responded. More than 57% identified as full-time Wayne County residents, and more than 60% have lived in the county for over 20 years. More than 90% of respondents said they were opposed to data center development. Seven percent were neutral or felt like they needed more information before forming an opinion, while 3% described themselves as somewhat supportive. Although the survey cannot be considered representative of the county as a whole, its results reflect strong opposition among the residents who chose to participate. Committee members acknowledged hearing the community's desire for a ban. “My phone has not quit ringing for at least two days, but before then it was a few phone calls a day. And so I realize that nobody wants a data center. I realize that. I do, but I can't vote for a ban,” said committee chair Travis VanOrden. Despite the opposition, the committee is moving toward drafting regulations rather than pursuing a

ban. Some residents worry that creating an ordinance to regulate data centers might put the county on the radar for data center developers. Regulatory ordinance discussions have included potential requirements for setbacks, independent water and power infrastructure, noise and light mitigation, environmental protections, and compliance oversight, among others. During the October 21 work session, Committee member Marion Chappell moved to ban data centers altogether in Wayne County, but the motion did not pass. The commission ultimately voted 3-1 to move forward with drafting a data center ordinance. The vote did not represent a final decision by the county to allow them; the Wayne County Commission will have the final say. Committee members discussed meeting weekly, with a goal of having a draft ordinance ready by November 11, 2026. The commission also aims to hold a public hearing as early as December 2, 2026, followed by potential consideration by the County Commission later in December. These dates are tentative and depend on the ordinance draft completion and the required public notice process. For residents seeking greater transparency and wanting to weigh in, the public hearing will be an opportunity to do so. The county has yet to receive a data center development application, and officials have not made a final decision on whether they will allow such development. With the moratorium deadline approaching. Wayne County still needs to decide whether data centers belong here at all. For residents calling for a ban, the question is whether their concerns will carry any weight.

Wills, Trusts, and More Giving Assets While You’re Still Living by Jeffery J. McKenna

"It is better to give than to receive." The sage who coined this phrase was speaking in terms of the good we can do by making gifts. Following this advice can lead to taxsavings as well. However, it is important to "look before we leap." Careful examination of both personal and tax considerations should be made before embarking on a course of lifetime gift giving. Gifting is a strategy that is often suggested by estate and financial planners to those with the largest estates. Perhaps the most significant advantage is that federal estate taxes and probate costs will be reduced because the gifted property is no longer part of your estate. In addition, income tax savings are also possible through the use of lifetime gifts. Although certain provisions of the tax law restrict your options, you can still achieve income tax savings by giving income-producing property to those in lower tax brackets. For instance, if dividends from your stocks are taxed to you at 35 percent, you can pocket 25 percent more by giving the stock to a family member who is in the 10 percent tax bracket. Making lifetime gifts

allows you to see how the recipient manages the property or money. This may help you decide whether later gifts should be made outright or in trust. Also, lifetime gifts need not become part of the public record like gifts made under a will or trust. Last, but not least, are the advantageous rules that make certain gifts nontaxable. The basic rule is that anyone can give up to $18,000 (as of Jan. 1, 2024) in money or other property each year, to any number of parties, with no gift tax. This $18,000 per year, per recipient, rule is known as the “annual gift tax exclusion.” Gifts between spouses, regardless of amount, are also nontaxable. So, too, are certain tuition and medical expenses that you may make on behalf of another. While gifting obviously has its advantages, it has its disadvantages as well. Initially, in order to achieve the advantages of gifting, you must relinquish all controls over the gifted property. Gifts must be made with no strings attached. Gifting can also have an impact on your eligibility for nursing home medical assistance. Perhaps the most significant tax disadvantage

of gifting is the loss of the so-called "stepped-up" basis. This can be best explained by an example. Let's say you purchased unimproved land for $10,000 but the land is now worth $100,000. If you sell the land, you would realize a $90,000 taxable gain. If you were to make a lifetime gift of this property, the recipient would stand in your shoes and would also realize a $90,000 taxable gain if he or she were to sell the property. If, however, you were to bequeath the property in your will or revocable trust, your beneficiary would receive it as if he or she paid $100,000 for it. As such, they could, in turn, sell it for $100,000 and realize no taxable gain. Because of this “stepped-up basis” that a decedent's beneficiaries receive, it is suggested that a donor refrain from gifting appreciated property. The decision to make significant gifts involves consideration of many factors. If you have the inclination or the need to institute a gifting program, you should speak with your financial advisor or estate planning attorney to determine whether it is truly better to give than to receive.

Man, that sentence was way too long.

Gun Powder

A tough old cowboy from Texas counseled his granddaughter that if she wanted to live a long life, the secret was to sprinkle a pinch of gun powder on her oatmeal every morning. The granddaughter did this religiously until the age of 103, when she died. She left behind 14 children, 30 grandchildren, 45 greatgrandchildren, 25 greatgreat-grandchildren, and a 40-foot hole where the crematorium used to be.

Obituaries David Eyre TORREY - David J. Eyre passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, in his home in Torrey, Utah, from parathyroid cancer. Born on January 24, 1961, in Logan, Utah, to Harmon and Julie Sears Eyre, David was an avid skier and outdoor adventurer who spent most of his life living along the Wasatch Front. He adored his children, Hannah and William, whom he shared with their mother, Cathleen McNamara. He treasured every Bear Lake trip with William and found joy visiting Hannah in her adopted home of New York City. He was always deeply proud to be their father. David was fortunate to find his life partner, Gena Edvalson. Together, they camped their way through Covid in an old Springbar tent and traveled the world making friends from Thailand to Mexico. They would take off to chase wildflowers only to find themselves hiking to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. They both knew that love was the only true adventure. His professional life started early in his family’s flower shops. He would pick up a broom to clean when needed but could also make anything from prom corsages to elaborate arrangements. His innovation began there when, as a young man, he taught seasoned florists new techniques at a floral convention. He also enjoyed a simultaneous stint as a McDonalds fry cook, never afraid of hard work. As a scholar, he was a lifetime learner, obtaining his BS in chemistry (1985), MS in applied mathematics (1990), and PhD in mathematics (1992), all from the University of Utah. After completing a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Minnesota, he rejoined the Department of Mathematics at the University of Utah in 1995 as faculty. His brilliance as a mathematician was celebrated for his work on the Cahn-Hilliard equation (originally known as Eyre’s Theorem), a central equation governing how solid materials flow. As a fourth-order nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation, it is extremely difficult to solve. David pioneered a time-marching method that led to unconditionally stable solutions, a breakthrough that transformed an entire field. He spoke on this and other advanced topics at seminars worldwide. In 2001, he transitioned to industry, becoming the Director of Biomathematics and Software Engineering for Idaho Technologies, Inc., which would later become BioFire Diagnostics, Inc. Much like his father, his work at Idaho Technologies and the evolution of the company had a fingerprint on world health. Their innovations drastically reduced time to treatment and lowered patient mortality with their PCR technology. David ultimately served as CIO. A truly epic career journey that took him from fry cook to professor to biotech executive. After a long period of corporate expansion, David retired from BioFire in 2020 and moved to Torrey, Utah. From the mountains to the water is where David found his passion and where he was able to think through the complex problems he solved at work. He was a raft guide, a sailor, and a camper (in his beloved VW Bus). Adventurous enough to ride his bike from Salt Lake City to Yellowstone National Park and back in the early 80’s. But he will always be remembered as an avid backcountry skier in the core Wasatch, and, later, on the Wasatch Plateau. David had his skiing buddies, lifelong friends who skied together from the early 80s until his last season, when he took his last turns. His love of the outdoors brought him to Torrey, which offered a desert home whose scenery and people rival none. David quickly became an active member of the local science and technology expat community, a regular attendee of the seminar meetings of the Royal Society of Torrey. There were also weekly dinner parties and cocktails with friends, and a community that rallied together through his illness to make it possible to fulfill his wish to stay home until the end. David is survived by his wife, Gena; his children, Hannah (Lux) and William; his mother, Julie; his brother, Richard (Delphine); and his nephews, Logan and Miles. He was preceded in death by his father, Harmon; his brother, Brian; and his sister, Suzanne. Beyond his family, he leaves a community of friends around the world, including Karl, his childhood friend and brother at heart; Robert, his “science brother,” with whom he shared a love of science and intellectual curiosity; and Scott, Gordon and Randy, his ski bros and partners in mountain adventures. We all raise a glass of tequila (on the rocks with a squeeze of lime) to the man who enriched our lives in ways only this quintessential Utah man could have. All of us will always remember his laugh.

If you know any veterans that didn’t get the message, please tell them. This Friday is the start of the annual craft fair, and it is being held at the Garfield County Fairgrounds. Expect large crowds and great deals on everything from candy and clothing, to artwork and zebras. Towards the end of the month is our 20th annual Thanksgiving dinner at the Panguitch Senior Center. All are invited, especially those that get meals on wheels, young families with children and those that don’t have families, or just anyone that likes turkey. Why work so hard making a big meal for just a few of yourselves? Like always, it is free and will

start at about 12:30; I am rarely on time. Bring a big appetite. The date is always on the 4th Thursday of November, which will be the 26th. I sure don’t care for standard time. I am writing this in the dark, with the heaters going. Unless you don’t have a TV, you probably know about the election. It is Sunday as I write this, and some of the states are still counting ballots. With a complete turnaround in the Congress and Senate, only the president and a few states don’t get the message. Most of the country will see changes come January. However, those in Utah won’t see much change. The president put a $100 surcharge on all visitors from out of the country going into select U.S. national parks. This was one of the smallest years for tourists that anyone can remember. Also, with the aid of our

congresswoman, he downsized our national monument by 90%. So with the power companies spending big bucks to see that there weren’t any changes, don’t expect to see your power bill go down. For Utah, nothing will change for at least two more years, or maybe never. Musk and many other billionaires spent hundreds of millions on their candidates, only to see their hate lose out to hope. Speaking of Musk, he has stopped production on his ugly Cybertrucks due to lack of orders. The last big order that was placed for a hundred of them for his SpaceX program was done with your tax money. The really big event took place yesterday at the U of U stadium. It was the 105th annual game against BYU. The U of U was ranked third in the college standings, and BYU was eighth. This is the

first time that they were both ranked in the top ten. What a game it was. Utah scored two times in the first five minutes of the game and led 14-0. After their scores, it was all BYU, and they took a 20 -14 lead into halftime. However, the second half belonged to the Utes and their defense. Utah got a 28 -20 lead, and shut down the Cougars' offense when it had many chances to score, including in the last seconds of the game when the Utes intercepted a goal line pass. This is the first time in four years that the Utes won. It was exciting the whole game, in a game that there weren’t any losers. Yesterday is history; today was a gift. That is why they call it "present." I have received hundreds of thousands of gifts in my 91 years, for which I am forever thankful. Mack O.

SALT LAKE CITY The Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Wildland Fire Service will begin prescribed fire operations throughout Utah as weather, fuel, and air quality become favorable. Operations will continue throughout the fall and winter. These treatments are carefully planned to reduce hazardous fuels, protect nearby communities, and restore native ecosystems. Information about specific upcoming and active burns in Utah is available online. Techniques range from

broadcast burning, which is the application of fire to an entire area, to hand and machine pile ignitions. These burns focus on increasing safety in the wildland-urban interface and restoring ecological function to the landscape. Targeting built-up fuels and residual materials from previous thinning operations decreases the load of dead trees, branches, and underbrush that pose significant wildfire risks. What the public should know • During prescribed burns, smoke may settle in low-

lying areas overnight. • Residents are encouraged to close windows at night to avoid smoke impacts. • When driving in smoky areas, drivers should slow down and turn on headlights. • People with heart or lung disease, asthma, or other chronic conditions should ask their doctors about protecting themselves from smoke and should monitor their local air quality map. All burns are carried out when weather, fuel con-

ditions, and air quality are within specific parameters. Firefighters use a combination of natural features and constructed control lines to keep the fire contained, with protocols in place to minimize smoke impacts on nearby communities. For more information, contact the BLM District Office or the U.S. Wildland Fire Service Geographic Area associated with the burn. —Bureau of Land Management | U.S. Wildland Fire Service

Martineau said the service will be tested to see whether it improves connectivity in remote areas, allowing crews to communicate with

medical providers and hospitals when needed. Other purchases include virtual reality training equipment that will allow the medical director to assist remotely, oxygen regulators to reduce waste, improved EKG equipment for checking heart activity and a system to track controlled medications. Martineau said the state will reimburse the county for approved purchases. She plans to clarify

the spending deadline after finding a difference between what she was told by the state and the date listed in the grant paperwork. Commissioners also ratified an agreement with the Utah Indigent Defense Commission, following earlier discussions about the county's public defense contracts. The agreement relates to providing courtappointed legal representation for defendants who cannot afford an attorney.

Later, commissioners entered a closed session to discuss litigation. After returning to open session, they voted to pursue an opportunity to negotiate a settlement. No details about the litigation were provided during the public portion of the meeting. The Wayne County Commission meets the first and third Monday of every month at the Wayne County Courthouse in Loa.

The Bryce Valley boys cross country team hold their 1st place trophy and pose with the girls team holding their 2nd place trophy at the state championship at Sugar House Park in Salt Lake City on Wednesday, October 28. PANGUITCH / BRYCE - The Panguitch girls cross country team secured their 7th consecutive 1A state championship title. The Bryce Valley boys team claimed the state title. The race was held on a beautiful sunny day at Sugar House Park in Salt Lake City on Wednesday, October 28. The Panguitch girls team achieved an impressive score of 40, placing them just one point ahead of the second-place Bryce Valley.

Lyda Taylor from Rich High School secured the individual state championship title for the girls, marking her second consecutive win with a time of 19:14.32. She surpassed Wayne’s Ava Snedegar, who finished with a time of 20:39.98, and Bryce Valley’s Gen Syrett, who clocked in at 20:45.02. Junior Halle Albrecht was the top finisher for Panguitch, taking 4th place, closely followed by Annie Yardley in 5th. Additionally, Panguitch Girls Coach Megan Al-

brecht was awarded the 1A Coach of the Year award. Panguitch Head Coach Danny Yardley is so proud of both his teams, stating, “This is a team that genuinely cares for one another. They love being together, they work hard together, and have a lot of fun together.” He continued that the seniors—Max Woolsey, Curtis Henrie, Lincoln Henrie, Annie Yardley, Grace Tebbs, and Lexi Marshall—have left a culture and legacy of in-

The girls raced their way to a championship by the narrowest of margins, and the boys had their best meet of the year at State.” On the boys' side, Bryce Valley secured both the team and individual championships. The team scored a total of 26 points, with Monticello following at 52 points and Panguitch close behind at 53. This marks the school’s second boys' championship, the previous one being in 2021. Four Bryce Valley runners finished in the top 15 with Bryce Valley’s senior, Taj Morse, claiming first place with a time of 16:08.86, followed closely by Monticello junior Eli Carling at 16:36.82, and in third place, Panguitch’s senior Lincoln Henrie, who clocked in at 16:57.12. Bryce Valley Coach Tyrell Post stated, “One of our boys team mottos this year was '2 Points.' That's how much they were behind a championship last year when they took second. This year we wanted to leave no doubt that we would be first by

the time our top five runners finished the race.” Their objective was to secure four positions in the top ten, and they ultimately achieved four in the top fourteen. The 5th to 7th runners concentrated on outperforming as many other teams' 4th runners as they could. Post continued, “We focused on 'Race your race' and 'Leave it all on the course every race.' As coaches, we are all extremely proud of our runners; they all pushed themselves and achieved PRs throughout the season, which helped them see their growth and push their teammates to go fast also. We are thankful for the amazing support we got from our Bryce Valley community all season for our boys and girls teams and are excited to see them continue to push and grow in the seasons to come. As we lose some outstanding seniors, we have high hopes for those who will join us in future seasons.” Bryce Valley High School Principal Samie Ott stated how proud she is of the team, saying,

"At the beginning of the season, our boys set a goal to win state after falling just two points short last year. Taj also set a goal to become an individual state champion, and they all made it happen. I couldn't be prouder of these athletes and the hard work they put in. One thing that makes our small 1A schools special is that so many of our students are multi-sport athletes who also balance jobs, academics, and other responsibilities. These kids know what hard work and commitment look like. I'm incredibly proud of not only what they've accomplished, but the young people they are becoming. They represent the very best of Bryce Valley.” Class 1A Girls State Championship Team Scores: 1. Panguitch, 40 2. Bryce Valley, 41 3.

SPACE - The sky has been spectacular, with mild temps and with it being cool at night. Mars and Jupiter keep getting closer for a near conjunction coming up soon on November 16, so keep watching as you ride your bike to work early before the sun comes up. On the other side of the day, after dark, spot the "W" of Cassiopeia high in the northeast. It's standing on end. The third segment of the "W," counting down from the top, points almost straight down. Extend that segment twice as far down as its own length, and you're at the Double Cluster in Perseus, which is a sparkly, double oblong that looks like Marge Simpson's head and hairdo. This is the time of year when the Big Dipper lies down horizontally low in the north-northwest after dark. Mars, Jupiter, and Regulus stay lined up before and during early dawn. The line of three lights in the southeast before dawn continues to shorten. Way out in the solar system, the spacecraft I have been following since before its launch in 2023, Psyche, is putting on a show out past Mars. With that successful Mars gravity assist in its rearview mirror, NASA’s Psyche spacecraft fired up its thrusters and is accelerating to the metal-rich asteroid of the same name. During the first leg of its journey, following an October 2023 launch, the mission used its electric propulsion system intermittently to maneuver to the right place for harnessing Mars’ gravity for a propellant-saving speed boost and a slight trajectory change. The xenon propelled Psyche spacecraft’s solarpowered propulsion system uses electromagnetic fields to steadily deliver up to 250 milli-newtons of force The blue light the thrusters put out is generated by xenon ions being accelerated through an electromagnetic field, which gives the spacecraft a gentle but steady acceleration. Each of the four thrusters operates one at a time. Though the thrust is tiny, it builds up over the course of the journey, enabling the spacecraft to gain speed as it travels through interplanetary space. At its maximum speed during cruise,

the Psyche spacecraft will be traveling more than 100,000 mph. Another consideration for mission designers is that despite how gentle the Hall-effect thrusters are, using them requires consistent management throughout cruise. As the thrusters expel xenon ions, the magnetic field generated causes the ions to swirl. These swirling ions can create a slight torque, or twisting force, that if left unchecked would interfere with the spacecraft’s pointing. To compensate for the torque and absorb the excess angular momentum it generates, the Psyche spacecraft relies on reaction wheels to change their spin rate. After several hours, engineers command the spacecraft to turn off its thruster, rotate, and then run a different thruster at low power in a different direction for several minutes to remove the momentum that built up in the reaction

wheels. As it is Halloween season, it’s a good time to enjoy the moon the stars and the stories we all have to offer to each other, so enjoy the change of season as the Garifuna in the Amazon just down the hill from the Andes do.

‘Blue Tsunami’ Hits Utah: House Republicans New Book: Ramsay sisters on Pace to Lose 17 Seats, Breaking Supermajority and co-authors, Jeannene Pollock

If preliminary results hold, Utah House Democrats will pick up 15 seats and unaffiliated candidates will take 2. And another powerful Senate Republican leader is slated to lose. Here’s how that could shake up the GOP-controlled Utah Legislature by Katie McKellar | Utah News Dispatch UTAH - By the time Utah’s election night results were posted at 9 p.m. Tuesday, November 3, it was already clear that Democrats were sweeping the nation in a scathing rebuke to President Donald Trump and the Republican Party. Though margins indicated Democrats here were performing far better than they usually do, Utah’s congressional races largely came down as expected. Rep. Ben McAdams overwhelmingly won the state’s new Democratic-leaning congressional district that turned blue after an antigerrymandering lawsuit resulted in new, courtordered boundaries. And Utah’s other three red districts were unsurprisingly won by GOP incumbents, Reps. Blake Moore, Celeste Maloy and Mike Kennedy. But what wasn’t expected in mostly Republican-controlled Utah came down the ballot. Eric Biggart—a longtime Democratic strategist in Salt Lake County who is a member of the Utah Democratic Party’s executive committee and chair of LDS Democrats—said disbelief initially washed over him as he scrolled down, down, down through the state legislative race results. There weren’t just a handful of Democratic candidates beating Republican incumbents and in the lead to flip open seats previously held by the GOP supermajority, as Utah Democrats had hoped for in a best-case scenario. They were leading in far more. “There was never a world where we were looking at double-digit (wins) being on the table this year,” Biggart told Utah News Dispatch Wednesday, Nov. 4. He said they had hoped for maybe four to seven seats—but in the teens? That was unthinkable. Yet as of Wednesday morning, unofficial election results showed Democrats are in the lead to pick up fifteen seats in the Utah House, and unaffiliated candidates are slated to take two. Republicans are on track to lose seventeen seats. In the Senate, Republicans are poised to lose two seats to Democrats. Election results are preliminary, with thousands more still needing to be tallied. But to political pundits, aside from a couple of races with razor-thin margins, the results are likely to hold. That puts Republicans on pace to lose their two-thirds, veto-proof supermajority in the House. They’re projected to still have a simple majority, forty-four of the House’s seventy-five seats. And the Senate will still be controlled by a GOP supermajority, with twenty seats to Democrats’ eight.

But for a state that hasn’t seen a House chamber without a GOP supermajority since 1993— and no recent memory of Democrats sweeping that many seats in a single election year—it’s extraordinary. Biggart said he and other Utah Democratic strategists have spent years trying to carve a path toward breaking the supermajority, but they expected it to take eight or ten years—not all in one election. The “blue tsunami” washing over the nation made landfall in Utah, Utah Democratic Party Chair Brian King said Tuesday night. Political pundit Taylor Morgan agreed, but he said he hadn’t expected the way it seeped down into local legislative races. “I was absolutely shocked. I was flabbergasted, blown away,” Morgan, a political consultant with the lobbying and public affairs firm Morgan & May, told Utah News Dispatch on Wednesday. He said he expected Democrats to do well in Salt Lake County—but what he didn’t expect was that phenomenon to be so widespread in counties up and down the Wasatch Front, the Wasatch Back and beyond. “Goodness gracious,” he said. “Look at Davis County. Look at Weber County. They’re both blue. Utah County results are blue in so many ways.” And Morgan said he didn’t expect so many voters who weren’t Democrats “to turn out to vote and intentionally vote for the Democratic candidates down ballot to punish the Republican party.” “This is the first time in my lifetime that a national election wave has also taken over the Utah ballot like this,” Morgan said. “It is frankly unprecedented.” Morgan’s firm built a website to track the results and their impact on the balance of power in the Utah Legislature. He told Utah News Dispatch he expects most Democrats to keep their leads as vote tallies are finalized in coming weeks. What happened? To both Biggart (a Democrat) and Morgan (a Republican), it wasn’t just Utahns fed up with Trump and an energized Democratic base. It was also Utahns of other political stripes— even some Republicans— having yearslong, mounting frustration with how the Republican-controlled Utah Legislature has handled redistricting, ballot initiatives, unions and other issues, along with an ongoing wave of outcry over data centers and development. “That combined with a general repudiation of the Republican Party, because of Donald Trump, I think that caught up with Utah legislative Republicans,” Morgan said.

To Biggart, the blue wave was fueled “50-50” by Trump and a frustration with Utah Republican legislators. “Data centers and gerrymandering and Amendment B and Amendment D before that, all these tricks and power grabs, have weighed on people,” Biggart said. “We’ve reached a point where Democrats are organized. And we’ve knocked literally hundreds of thousands of doors and sent hundreds of thousands of texts to a degree we’ve never done before.” Democrats, Biggart said, “ran a professional, world-class campaign for these candidates in these targeted races. And it worked.” And he said the results show Utah independents and even some Republicans “have just had it.” “The Trump effect,” he said, was “a nice kicker at the end.” Another powerful Senate Republican on track to lose his seat When one of Utah’s most powerful Republicans, Senate President Stuart Adams, lost his primary election to GOP challenger Stephanie Hollist, apparently that was just the beginning. Now Adams’ No. 2, Senate Majority Leader Kirk Cullimore, was trailing his Democratic challenger, Shana Anderson, by nearly fourteen percentage points as of Wednesday. It was an upset in Sandy, Draper, Alta, Highland and Alpine areas making up Senate District 19 that perhaps only Anderson herself saw coming. “I keep hearing people say how surprised they are, but I actually was not surprised at all,” Anderson, a U.S. Army veteran and stay-at-home mom who lives in Sandy, told Utah News Dispatch Wednesday. “I’ve been out there talking to voters, and I knew where everybody was at.” She’s not claiming victory yet, noting there are still votes to be tallied. But she said she was happy to see “voters coming out and letting their voices be heard.” Cullimore did not return a request for comment Wednesday. Anderson said she hasn’t heard from him, and he hadn’t called her to concede. Anderson’s experience on the campaign trail reflected Biggart and Morgan’s takeaways. She said she heard from a lot of people “upset with the Trump administration,” but also many who were directly frustrated with Cullimore’s track record, especially when it came to supporting school voucher programs or anti-public union legislation. “I had volunteers coming out of the woodwork from all different angles because of what he’s been doing,” Anderson said. “And I honestly think he had no idea that people were paying atten-

tion. And people would try to reach out to him, but he would not listen or respond to them.” Largely, Anderson said the perception she heard from her district’s voters was that Cullimore “has not been doing the job” representing their interests. “He’s been working for people in power, people with money, and special interests. And he’s not been working for the people in his district,” she said. “It wasn’t even a heavy lift, to be honest.” How will this shake up the Legislature? To Morgan, Cullimore’s likely loss and Democrats’ gains in the House will send reverberations through the halls of the Utah Capitol. Before the election, Cullimore and Sen. Evan Vickers, R-Cedar City, were in a tight race to replace Adams as the next Senate president. Now that race—which will be decided in a closed caucus meeting Friday night—has a new, giant question mark over it. Will Vickers take it? Or will a different candidate swoop in to run in Cullimore’s place? “That election has been shaken up completely,” Morgan said. And because the House is slated to lose so many Republicans and get so many new Democratic faces, Morgan expects even House Speaker Mike Schultz might be in for a shakeup. “Speaker Mike Schultz has lost fifteen members of his caucus, some of whom will be really devoted to Speaker Schultz,” Morgan said. “Will now Speaker Schultz face a challenger within his caucus for the speakership because of what happened?” Additionally, Morgan wondered if House Democratic leadership might see some changes due to all the new members. Committee assignments, chair positions and policy priorities are all influenced by who is in House and Senate leadership, so the implications run deep, Morgan said. To Biggart, the political aftershock of this year’s elections will energize Democrats in Utah like never before—and he expects more candidates willing to run now that they’ve seen what’s possible in traditionally red Utah. Now that it appears the House supermajority has been cracked, Biggart said that will open the floodgates. “It’s at that point where people really start to believe, where people start to donate, start to knock on doors, start to make those text messages to their friends and family,” Biggart said. “Because when it’s on the margins and it feels real, all of a sudden it becomes a lot easier to do.” This article was originally published on utahnewsdispatch.com on November 4, 2026.

Advocates Bring New Food Security Network to Rural Utah Communities by Alixel Cabrera | Utah News Dispatch

UTAH - West of the Great Salt Lake and the Bonneville Salt Flats, in Wendover, a small city at Utah’s border with Nevada, high schoolers spent their morning packing and giving away food boxes to people facing food insecurity. It was the first event of a new “communitybased food security network” launched on Thursday, Nov. 5, by Chicanos por la Causa, a community development nonprofit, and Senate Minority Leader Luz Escamilla, D-Salt Lake City, as the number of people facing food insecurity in the state grows. According to data collected by Chicanos por la Causa, food security is one of the top needs among Utahns—alongside housing and healthcare, said Leo Gonzalez, program manager at the organization. “We knew that we needed to do something,” Gonzalez said. “We came together, and the plan now is to be able to take food to every single county in the state of Utah. It’s a huge undertaking, of course, but it’s also a huge gap that we understand that needs to be taken care of.” The number of people experiencing food insecurity in the state rose by nearly 100,000 people in a year, reaching 445,000 Utahns in January of this year, according to the Utah Food Bank. That includes one in five children. After changes implemented in Congress’ spending package known as the “Big, Beautiful

bill,” over five million people throughout the country have lost access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, including almost 29,000 Utahns, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. Wendover, which has a population of about 1,130 people, is the type of community the new resource is targeting, organizers said, since it is an area that can be difficult to reach through traditional food assistance programs. “Many times Wendover gets left behind,” Gonzalez said. “And we wanted to make sure that that wasn’t the case with our food network.” Other areas organizers will prioritize include areas like the west side of Salt Lake, as well as rural areas in Tooele, Summit, Carbon and Sanpete counties, where they have identified the biggest gaps in resources. During the launch on Thursday, students at Wendover High School packed ninety boxes containing meats, fruits and vegetables, among other food items, Gonzalez said. The initiative is being funded by the private sector, with donors like the Larry H. Miller Foundation, Mountain America Credit Union, Marathon Petroleum and the Brent and Kathryn Wood Foundation. Local producers, including Utah Natural Meat, International Rescue Committee New Roots, OakDell Egg Farms and Utah Refugee Goats are providing the food for the network, organizers said in a news release, and other organizations are helping

out with distribution. Escamilla, who has sponsored food security legislation for several years, has been keeping tabs on the needs through data the nonprofit has collected. “What we do know is children are going hungry to bed. I mean, in Utah, one out of five, and those numbers continue to grow,” Escamilla said during the launch. “And as we are prepping for more cuts into the programs that are providing a safety net to our children in our community, we know that number is going to increase.” Now that Democrats are projected to flip some seats in the Utah Legislature, Escamilla is more hopeful about the odds of passing her future bills tackling the issue, she said. Apart from a request for appropriations to better support the state’s Food Security Council, housed at Utah State University, Escamilla is also looking to make statute modifications to allow the body to take direct action to connect people with services. And, for the third year in a row, Escamilla is expected to propose a bill to provide free lunch to more K-12 students in the state. “This is going to be a little bit different,” she said. “But we’re trying to work with children under 200% of poverty level. It’s the first group that we will guarantee the free lunch.” More information on the program can be found at Chicanos por la Causa’s Utah website.
