GARFIELD CO.Meeting the day before Veterans Day, Garfield County Commissioners each paid tribute to the sacrifice and service of our veterans, particularly those from Garfield County who served in the armed forces. Commissioner David Tebbs made note of the official process of any funding allocations to fire departments first being discussed at the fire chiefs’ meeting before coming before the county. He announced a new state trapper, Brace Griffin from Escalante, who will be handling predator control issues. Tebbs has been assigned to represent Garfield County on Senator Curtis’s Task Force, joining a group of 10-15 members, including commissioners from Wayne, Grand, San Juan, and Kane counties.

Outdoor Rec Projects:

The Utah Division of Outdoor Recreation (DOR) has awarded $21 million to thirty-eight outdoor recreation projects across the state, marking another major step forward in enhancing Utah’s outdoor access, sustainability and local recreation opportunities.

gram director. “Through the Outdoor Recreation Initiative, we’re empowering communities to build lasting recreation infrastructure and foster stewardship and sustainability at the regional level. The impact of these projects will be felt for generations.”

Supported through legislative appropriations and the Outdoor Adventure Infrastructure Fund, the funding seeks to fill the gaps in the Division of Outdoor Recreation’s grant offerings and supports a diverse mix of projects, including land acquisitions, paved trail networks, large-scale infrastructure projects and restoration projects, environmental and feasibil -

ity studies and long-term recreation planning.

In its third year, the Outdoor Recreation Initiative (ORI) was established by the Utah Legislature and is administered by DOR, providing a collaborative framework for outdoor recreation planning and funding. The initiative’s regional recreation councils bring together local leaders, land managers and outdoor recreation stakeholders to identify priorities, share expertise and recommend investment decisions that best serve their communities. This locally led process is the first of its kind in the nation.

viduals who exhibit remarkable bravery and risk their lives to rescue others in perilous situations. This prestigious honor is automatically granted to firefighters who lose their lives while serving, but it may also be awarded to those who willingly place themselves in harm's way to save another, such as these men did.

On the morning of September 19th, Rushton was driving to work when he spotted that a semitruck on the side of the road was on fire. He stopped to help and checked the cab to see if anyone was inside. Moments later, he saw the driver running from the other side of the truck, engulfed in flames. Rushton took off his own jacket and used it to extinguish the fire on the

driver. When the flames reignited and his coat was too damaged to use again, he removed his hoodie and continued putting out the fire until the man was safe. Rushton stayed with the driver, keeping him alert and relaying information to 911 through another motorist who had stopped to help. Gustavo Banks also happened to be driving by, and he quickly jumped in and helped pat the driver down. He also helped Rushton provide cover when the tank on the semi exploded due to the fire.

Rushton said afterward that his training simply “kicked in,” and he did what he knew needed to be done.

“I am honored to have gentlemen like this on the fire department, that did not hesitate to put themselves in harm's way to help another person they had never met,” said Frand-

sen. “[Rushton's] description of what happened that day is a perfect example of training that allowed him to just take the proper actions. It does my heart good to know that people like these two gentlemen exist in our community and in the world in general today.”

Rushton responded to a Panguitch City Fire Facebook post about receiving his medal by saying, “I just want to say thank you to everyone who’s reached out with kind words and support; it honestly means more than I can say. I definitely wasn’t expecting all the attention, or a medal for it for that matter. I just did what felt right in the moment. I’m really grateful for everyone’s love and for the first responders who took over when they arrived. Moments like that really make you appreciate life and the people around you. Stay safe everyone.”

Utah SNAP Customers Receive Full November Benefits

UTAH - With the reopening of the federal government, Utah will issue full November benefits to all Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) customers.

Deposits will have been made by Nov. 15.

Customers who normally receive their SNAP benefits on the 5th or 11th of each month should have received their deposit beginning Nov. 14. Customers who receive their SNAP benefits on the 15th of the month should

have received their deposit as normally scheduled.

“SNAP is a lifeline for many families and now that federal funding has resumed we can get people the help they need,” said Becky Wickstrom, Workforce Services public information officer. “It is important for customers to protect their benefits from theft by locking spending on their EBT card.”

Customers can lock their card by:

• Downloading the free Connect EBT app from

the Apple or Android app store.

• Creating an account in the app.

• Locking the card when not using it. SNAP is a 100% federally funded program that helps 86,000 households in Utah buy food each month. For more information visit jobs.utah.gov or check myCase (jobs.utah. gov/mycase), the customer portal for managing benefits.

What If I Have a Stroke?

Some people think estate planning is only for when you die. However, proper planning includes many other situations. You can be in a terrible car accident or have a medical condition that renders you unable to make decisions for yourself. Your estate plan should cover these situations.

A Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care Decisions (sometimes called a Special Power of Attorney) and the Durable Power of Attorney for Financial Matters allow you to appoint whomever you want to have the authority to act for you if you become incapacitated. You dictate whatever conditions and limitations you want on the powers you grant the person you appoint to act for you (the "Attorney-in-Fact"). You can keep all control over your affairs unless and until incapacity occurs. These documents are reasonably short. You don't need to transfer title of

your assets. You can revoke them at any time, unless you become incapacitated.

No court review or approval is needed. They don't have to be filed or recorded with any governmental agency.

If you have a Special Power of Attorney and a Durable Power of Attorney for Financial Matters you are well on your way to peace of mind. You will know that you have made provisions for decisions pertaining to your medical and financial affairs.

Additionally, within your Health Care Power of Attorney, you can nominate a guardian for yourself before you become incapacitated. If you become incapacitated, your preferences will be taken into consideration when the decision is made who should care for you until and unless you recover. Within the document,

you can also state who you do not want to care for you if you have strong objections to a specific person. The most important aspect of drafting a “Nomination of Guardian by an Adult” is that your wishes are set forth. The alternative is for the court to nominate a guardian for you should you become incapacitated. You have no guarantee that the court would select the same guardian for you that you would have selected for yourself.

The Power of Attorney for Financial Matters and the Special Power of Attorney for health care matters are valuable tools for making your wishes known in advance of your becoming incapacitated. Your personal wishes come into effect at the time you become incapacitated. You select someone you trust to care for your most important personal needs.

New Data Shows Alarming Impact of Cuts to Wildfire Mitigation

U.S. - A new analysis by Grassroots Wildland Firefighters, an organization made up of current and former federal wildland firefighters, shows that hazardous fuels reduction work on U.S. Forest Service (USFS) land is down 38% since January 2025 compared to recent years.

Hazardous fuels treatments involve thinning overgrown forests, clearing brush, and conducting prescribed burns to decrease the amount of vegetation that feed dangerous wildfires. The new analysis finds that USFS has fallen far behind on its efforts to mitigate the risk of wildfire since the DOGE cuts to staff and resources. The data contradicts public assurances from senior administra-

tion officials that federal land management agencies have the staffing levels and resources necessary to adequately prepare for and respond to wildfires.

“Funding cuts have already led to a steep drop-off in forest mitigation projects across the West. This is basic work that must be done, year after year. Without the prescribed burns, fuel break and fireline construction, and brush clearing that the firefighters rely on, wildfires will be harder to contain, and our firefighters and communities will be at greater risk,” said Bobbie Scopa, a retired firefighter with 45 years of experience and Executive Secretary of the Grassroots Wildland Firefighters.

The data shows that as of the end of September,

hazardous fuels reduction work across USFS lands was down 38% in 2025, compared with the same period over the previous four calendar years. Alarmingly, hazardous fuels reduction work across national forestland this summer (June, July, August) was barely half (57%) of what it was compared with the previous four summers.

Mitigation work is furthest behind in Idaho and Montana, where fewer than 30% of acres have been treated in 2025 compared to recent annual averages. Oregon, Washington, California, and Nevada all fall under 40%.

Arizona and New Mexico have barely surpassed half of the amount of land mitigated in recent years.

Hare Treatment

A man is driving down a highway, and he hits and kills a rabbit. He gets out of the car and walks over to the rabbit. He picks it up and starts crying, thinking he’s a horrible person.

Someone else driving down the highway stops and walks over to him, and asks, “What happened?”

The man replies, “I hit this rabbit with my car and now it’s dead!”

The other person gets a thoughtful look on their face and goes back to their car. They rummage around in the trunk, and eventually walk back over to the man holding a spray bottle.

They spray the rabbit with the bottle, and it comes back to life. It starts hopping away, turning back every few hops to wave at the two people.

The man, astounded, turns to the other person and asks, “What was in that bottle?”

The other person replies, “It’s hare spray.”

Once during an adventure, a farmer named Bryan Clay stumbled into a cave and found a magic lamp.

Upon rubbing the lamp, a Genie appeared and asked him what his wish was.

The farmer told him that he wished he were very rich.

Handyman

A businessman went into the office and found an inexperienced handyman painting the walls.

The handyman was wearing two heavy parkas on a hot summer day.

Thinking this was a little strange, the businessman asked the handyman why he was wearing the parkas on such a hot day.

The handyman showed him the instructions on the can of paint. They read: “For best results, put on two coats.”

It has been a great week, with so many events happening. The American Legion’s dinner honoring all of the veterans went really well, with over eighty veterans and their guests being honored. Everyone seemed to have a good time, and the food was really good. Ralph did a really good job with the food, and he had an extra room that we could all fit into. Ray did the singing, and I could understand the words. Everyone enjoyed time talking to one another. I hope everyone will put next year's dinner on their calendars; see you on November 11, 2026. It was good to see some of the younger veterans; we seem to forget how awful these wars were. We still have veterans dying from or being affected by Agent Orange. That morning, the combined schools—the elementary, middle, and high schools—did their annual assembly honoring all the veterans in our area. It was decided many years ago to have this program honoring the veterans rather than to take the day off, since it would be much more meaningful to them. Ralph Veater was there, and he will be 100 years old next year. It’s always nice to have someone older than myself at these events. A young, beautiful girl gave a note that was very well written, and her name is Stella; thank you. The high schools’ gym is a really good place to hold this event. The sound system is better, and we have an area

where all of the schools can meet.

On Friday night, we went to the high school auditorium to watch The Wizard of Oz. It was a welldirected play. It is always fun to see all the young talent that we have here. All of those that took part knew their parts really well, and the bit players kept moving during their time on the stage. Dorothy, played by Sophie Fawson, was outstanding. She was in the whole play and had so many lines to remember, and she sang well. The play was double cast, and most of the parts on Saturday night were done by other cast members. The sets really looked good and were really well built. We have another new director, and her name is Buffi Flake. I don’t know how you could put such a difficult show together, especially working with kids. You are remarkable; thank you. It is great to put kids in speaking parts of someone else; it will help them in their later life.

Up next will be our annual Panguitch family Thanksgiving dinner, and it will be at the Panguitch Senior Citizens Center on the 27th. Dinner will be at around 12:30. There will be plenty of food, so you don’t have to be there at that time. We have been doing this dinner for almost twenty years, and everyone is invited—singles, small families, large families, old and young people. We don’t make deliveries, but you can take out some for

your shut in families. We will have plenty of help, so just come and enjoy Thanksgiving with your Panguitch family.

December is just as busy as November. It starts off with "Christmas in the Country" and Santa visiting the Panguitch Social Hall at 10 a.m. on Saturday the 6th. Santa will arrive in a big, red fire engine, with the lights and sirens going. Bring your cameras for some great picture moments.

In December, there will also be a lot of Ward Christmas parties, so stay tuned.

On November 20th in Panguitch, there will be a Medicare specialist from Five County AOG at the senior center that will help with enrollment. There will be changes to the plans next year. If you would like to meet her, call the senior center at 676-2281.

The Valley Christian Fellowship church is having a warm clothing drive. They are collecting warm items to give to those in need. Clothing, hats, shoes, gloves, and blankets are appreciated. For questions or to drop off items, call Virginia at 991-2786 or Colleen at 775-910-2294. You can also drop items off at the church on the east side of town, behind the C Stop Pizza.

day with a double header with the boys. Their next game will be on the 25th at Enterprise.

The boys season starts on this Friday on the 21st in a double header with the girls against El Capitan. They will have a home game against Enterprise on the 25th. Both the girls and boys will have a lot of games at the start of the season, with the boys having twleve games before the first of the year and nine games in Jan. and Feb.

The girls season also has eleven games before the start of the New Year and six games till the region playoffs on the 12th and 13th here in Panguitch.

Wrestling starts with a match against Manti on the 2nd of Dec., and the big tournament, the Panguitch Invitational, will be from the 5th - 6th. The wrestling program has a lot of tournaments, and it is a tough season; the Cats will be defending their six consecutive state championship titles. The president’s approval rating is down to 35%. It appears that the Epstein files may be coming out soon. I don’t know what are in those files that he is so worried about, but his character couldn’t be any worse.

Regina Christine Webster Flanagan (Gina)

April 2, 1952 - October 27, 2025

LOA / ST. GEORGE - On October 27, 2025, our beloved mother Regina (Gina) Christine Webster Flanagan, age 73, passed away peacefully at her home in St. George, Utah, surrounded by her loving family.

Gina was born on April 2, 1952, in Juneau, Alaska, to Leland Stanford Webster and Opal Mae Corsby. She was the second of five children and grew up with a deep love of family, faith, and adventure.

Her youth was spent in southern California where she attended a different high school in each grade, ultimately graduating from Santa Ana La Quinta High School. She attended Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah, where her dedication to learning and service first took root.

On September 1, 1973, Gina married the love of her life, James Craig Flanagan. Their marriage was later solemnized in the St. George Temple on January 14, 1984. Together, they built a beautiful life in Loa, Utah, where they lived for over 50 years and raised three sons, who cared for her with the same devotion and love she had always shown them.

Gina served her community with passion and integrity. She was a PTA President, Loa Town Council Member, and Loa Town Clerk. She worked for Brown Brothers Construction from 1984 to 2001 while raising her family, and later became the CEO of Wayne Community Health Center from 2001 to 2017. At the clinic, she expanded vital community services including dental and mental health, emergency medicine, and was instrumental in establishing the Escalante Medical Center with those same services.

A true lover of the outdoors, Gina found joy in nature and movement. She loved camping, horseback riding, pickleball, biking, swimming, and time at Lake Powell. In the 1980s, Brown Brothers Construction sponsored her swim from Bullfrog to Halls Crossing, a 3.2-mile challenge she successfully completed twice. Gina approached life with courage, energy, and a sense of adventure that inspired everyone around her.

Gina is survived by her sons, Micah (Tanya), Jesse (Karleen), Rory and Ashley Flanagan; her beloved grandchildren; Sienna (Seth), Lacee (Steven), Tyrin, Keldon, Teegan, Navy, Kayleigh , Karsten, and Kanzley; sisters, Susan, Mary Ann, and Cindy; her brother, Lee, and step-sister, Melinda.

She is preceded in death by her husband, James Craig Flanagan, and her parents, Leland and Opal Webster and step-brother, Mark.

Gina’s life was a shining example of service, compassion, and perseverance. Her love for her family, her community, and her Savior will be forever remembered.

A combined Memorial Service for Regina and Jim will be held at 11:00 A.M. on Saturday, November 22, 2025 at the Loa Stake Center, 49 West 300 South, in Loa. Services under the care of Springer Turner Funeral Homes of Richfield and Salina Utah.

Public Invited to Jubilee of Trees, November 19-21, to Elevate Cardiovascular Services for Patients at Intermountain St. George Regional Hospital

ST. GEORGE - The community is invited to the 2025 Jubilee of Trees, Nov. 19-21, to launch the holiday season with the spirit of giving and help advance cardiovascular services for patients at Intermountain St. George Regional Hospital.

cy of compassion and innovation that defines our region.”

The Hybrid OR Suite will be in the hospital’s new surgical tower, and will integrate advanced imaging, such as fluoroscopy, CT, or MRI, with a fully equipped operating room. It will enable surgeons to use real-time imaging during procedures to improve efficiency and precision. Patients will be able to access the care they need locally, need fewer procedures, and experi-

Hosted by Intermountain Foundation, the Jubilee of Trees is open to the public Wednesday, Nov. 19, through Friday, Nov. 21, with a Gala Dinner and Auction on Saturday, Nov. 22, at the Dixie Convention Center in St. George. Tickets can be purchased at stgeorgeregional.org/jubileeoftrees.

“Intermountain St. George Regional Hospital is already a leader in innovation and patientcentered care, fueled by our generous community,” said Loriana De Crescenzo, executive director of the Intermountain Foundation. “Philanthropy can save lives and shape the future of heart care in the St. George area for generations to come. We invite the community to join us at the Jubilee of Trees to help advance extraordinary care close to home, and to celebrate the lega-

The suite also will help St. George Regional to attract more experts, participate in clinical trials, and implement innovative treatment protocols for patients.

“The hybrid operating room really enables different types of providers to work together in ways that they traditionally wouldn’t, and that has significant positive impact” on patient care now and in the future, said Dr. Blake Gardner, Intermountain Health senior medical director, enterprise Cardiovascular Clinical Program, Intermountain Heart & Vascular.

Sherri Barone needed the expert cardiovascular expertise offered at St. George Regional. Heart disease runs in her family: Her dad had a heart attack and heart valve replacement, and she was born with a bicuspid valve instead of a tricuspid valve. That valve started to fail about a year and a half ago.

Public Lands Rule Rollback Could Be Detrimental to UT's Protected Lands

by Mark Richardson | Utah News Connection

UTAH - Conservation groups said the Trump administration's efforts to roll back the federal Public Lands Rule could bring development to some of Utah's most sensitive natural areas.

The rule, approved in May 2024, was designed to place conservation and recreation on an equal playing field with extractive activities like mining and grazing.

Vera Smith, director of the national forests and public lands program for Defenders of Wildlife, said Utah's public lands are world-class.

News from Wayne County

Weather You Like It or Not

by Adus F. Dorsey II

WAYNE CO. - Well, there seems to be more leaves on the ground than there ever was on the trees in Wayne County. They are scattered everywhere like, well, leaves from the trees.

Autumn in November is in full force, although, you would never guess it was this late in the year, with daily temperatures hovering around the 66-degree mark during the height of the day.

The talk at Brian Farm, Gordies, and Howies, in a general sense, is about the lack of moisture. For the optimist, precipitation is surely to arrive in one form or another sooner or later; it always does, we hope. For the pessimists, it is anybody’s guess how they are feeling on any given day, and much of it has to do with how much coffee or Postum they drank before the sun came up.

In the store and at the beauty parlors throughout the county, the absorbent price of groceries and essentials is sure to come up during every rotation, more so if someone is getting a perm or their curlers are spun too tight.

This is not so at the gas pump, where gas prices have remained the same at Brian Farm for longer than anyone can remember. Here, there is not much discussion at all. People just fill up and go and be happy that topping off the tank, for most, is less than a crisp one-hundred-dollar bill.

As for Capitol Reef National Park, business is still brisk and tourists still crowd the highway with their motorhomes and campers like they own the place, taking their lives in their own hands as cattle

trucks whiz by, strategically spraying the green stuff on turns and straight aways. Locals know to give those big trucks filled with cows a wide berth and are happy to slow down and give Subarus and Range Rovers from places like Michigan and Tennessee room to pass and share a big wave when BMWs and Teslas from California are eager to pass, especially the white shiny ones that turn green by the time they get to Caineville. Finding any sort of entertainment in life is always a good thing, particularly this time of year when property taxes and irrigation assessments come due.

Of some concern are the areas on the side of the highway where the cops usually try to hide in the early morning and evenings; cruise control is a must because you never know who is in those trucks.

Another precautionary measure to be taken in the wee hours of the morning is to look out for the cement and pumper trucks that look like ancient dinosaurs lurking in the dark, coming and going wherever it is they go at that time of the morning. And just who are the cement finishers that set their alarm clocks to zero dark thirty to be on the job when the rest of the county are still pulling the covers up to their chins and fluffing their pillows in hopes of another half an hour of sleep before they have to get up and tend to cows or get sleepy kids out the door to school, daycare or grandmas?

The morning and evening migration for those going and coming from work and school is about

as predictable as the seasons. In segments of five or ten minutes, one can, just by the headlights, know who is going to be late or early to work. The daily Wayne County commute takes on a life of its own. The same cars go by at the same time every day of the week—some with both headlights, some with only one. They whiz by going up and down county depending on the time of day.

The daily commute is always a good indicator of who likes you or not by who and how they wave at you or not. For the most part, everyone (especially the cowboys) has their own signature wave. It is hard to tell in the dark, but in the light of day, one gets a pretty good idea of the mood someone is in and if they are daydreaming or concentrating on something important. The happy ones wave like they have the next week off and are on their way to Disneyland or the NFR finals in Vegas. By the time you get the gist of what has just taken place, they are long gone. Then there are a few real serious ones (in Bicknell) that find any sort of gesture or acknowledgement of your presence to be annoying. Most people can come up with a one finger wave, but for the most part, you know that is who they are and they mean well and you go on about your business knowing that if they came up on you with a flat tire, they would surely help you out or call someone that would. That is Wayne County in a nutshell. Enjoy the weather because it is going to change.

The Bureau of Land Management oversees almost twenty-three million acres of national forests, national parks, national monuments and other protected areas. The Trump administration seeks to prioritize leasing lands for development over conservation activities. Comments on the plan were accepted through Nov. 10.

Smith pointed out when the Public Lands Rule was in development, more than 90% of public com-

"The public lands in Utah are some of the most spectacular places, not just in the United States, but in the world," Smith contended. "There are amazing outdoor recreational opportunities. The scenery is unparalleled, and those places are struggling."

ments supported the plan. She noted one of its major goals was to modernize the bureau's approach to conservation.

"The repeal of the public lands rule really returns us to an outdated extractionfirst model that doesn't really address the opportunities and challenges of the 21st century," Smith argued.

Opponents of the rule said it overemphasizes conservation over traditional uses and would damage the livelihoods of communities relying on agriculture, energy production, mining and other activities on public lands. BLM officials said a final decision on the rule change will likely be announced early next year.

The Northern Lights and the Devil's Gate

SPACE - Wow! It was a good night for aurora watching on the evening of November 11th, with a geomagnetic storm raging on our home star and sending waves of energy our way to interact with the upper atmosphere of Earth and put on a huge display. This brought the northern lights to much of the U.S. on Tuesday night, painting the sky in vibrant hues of green and pink.

The aurora borealis was spotted in a large swath of states, including Idaho, Iowa, Missouri, New Mexico, Utah, New York, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Washington state. Northern lights were visible as far south as parts of Florida and Alabama, a relatively rare occurrence that highlights the severity of the week's storms.

According to NPR's Shawn Dahl, service coordinator at NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center, “We had a lot of geomagnetic storm activity."

A geomagnetic storm happens when charged particles from the sun's atmosphere interact with the Earth's magnetic field, which creates dazzling displays of color. Tuesday's activity was the result of a phenomenon called coronal mass ejections (CMEs), massive blasts of plasma and magnetic field from the sun's outer atmosphere, that grow in size as they hurtle towards Earth.

Two CMEs arrived on Earth on Tuesday, Dahl said.

Also in the night sky, there is lots to look at, including the seven sisters, or Pleiades, Cassiopea, Perseus, Saturn and Orion.

The northern Taurids meteor shower is also peaking, and the Leonids meteor shower is just kicking in, as well, so these should add to your observing pleasure.

November 11th was also the anniversary of Gemini 12 in 1966 with Jim Lovell and Buzz Aldrin onboard for the last flight of the Gemini program. This was a breakthrough event, with several space walks and procedures for the Apollo program. Astronauts Lovell and Aldrin performed rendezvous and docking with the Agena target vehicle, conducted long duration operations with Extra Vehicular Activities (EVA) for tethered station keeping exercises, tested rendezvous and docking maneuvers with the Agena propulsion system, and demonstrated automatic pinpoint reentry.

As it is one sky, many cultures, in Central Wyoming, somewhat near Muddy Gap Jct, there runs a 370-foot high, 1500-footlong fissure carved millions of years ago, as sediments from eroding mountains and ash from volcanoes filled the basins between the mountains. The Sweetwater River cut through softer sediment and harder rock. It was a major landmark on the Oregon Trail, a day’s travel west of Independence Rock, and it states on the historical sign that it was a pleasant change for weary travelers on the rough dry four day trek

from the North Platte River, which the route followed from the crossing. Travelers called this the Devils Gate. For Native American tribes in the region, Cimineau people, the legend was that a powerful evil spirit in the form of a tremendous beast with enormous tusks gouged the Sweetwater River Valley and prevented them from hunting or camping.

Eventually, the Native Americans became disgusted and decided to kill the beast. From the passes and ravines, the warriors shot the beast with a multitude of arrows. The beast, enraged, tore the cleft in the mountains with his large tusks and escaped. This legend, however, has never been confirmed. But if you’re in Wyoming, stop and enjoy this beautiful spot, where a breeze or wind blows all of the time and spirits climb high.

Keep looking up, look around, and get just a little bit lost in space.

television show back in the 60s and 70s and now lives just outside of Panguitch. His love of music and entertainment has grown this

program into a tradition loved by all who have attended.

Garfield Commission: A six percent increase in Transient Room Tax collection, some history on Garfield Memorial Hospital, Panguitch Lake Dam, re-evaluation of hunting licenses on the Boulder-Kaiparowits hunting unit, the dead animal pit land transfer, and a plea by the Yard family regarding activity on a neighboring property zoned as agricultural discussed.

Commissioner Jerry Taylor said the Travel Council reported a six percent increase in Transient Room Tax collection, despite lower travel numbers. He said the Community Impact Board is now primarily giving low interest loans, not grants, to applicant communities. After acknowledging former Escalante Fire Department volunteer Fred Spencer, who succumbed to injuries sustained in an ultralight accident a few weeks ago, Taylor thanked “all the people that serve in our communities.”

As a member of Utah’s Outdoor Adventure Commission, Taylor said it’s important for Garfield County to start getting its recreational needs “on the list right now” because next year the commission will likely have another $20-21M to distribute. He suggested reviewing 2025 funded projects. Lastly, he said he was asked to follow up on getting a county resolution passed on wolf de-listing and on needing to appoint a new board member in December for the Ticaboo Utility Improvement District board.

Commissioner Leland Pollock first provided some history on Garfield Memorial Hospital’s near demise in 2000. He said Intermountain Healthcare was leaving due to financial difficulties. County Commissioners at that time —Maloy Dodds, Clare Ramsay, and Dell LeFevre —“got involved and were able to keep Intermountain Health in this hospital by way of taking ownership of the facility,” he said. Pollock credited legislation creating a one percent rural healthcare

tax on sales with providing much of the tax revenue supporting the hospital, 80 percent of which, he said, is paid by tourists. “Fast forward to 2025,” said Pollock, “we have no debt on that hospital. None. Zero. We did the $6.3M improvement to that facility with money that we have saved from the healthcare tax.”

Next, he reported on speaking at the Farm Bureau banquet on Garfield County’s commitment to agriculture and the cattle livestock industry, saying “we desperately need to use those [federal] public lands to graze our animals, and we all have fought diligently to protect that.” Next, Pollock said he’d asked Division of Wildlife Resources Director Riley Peck to reevaluate hunting licenses on the Boulder-Kaiparowits hunting unit. Last season’s number of licenses issued had doubled; Peck agreed to return to the previous number of licenses next year.

Regarding Panguitch Lake Dam, Pollock continued, “Unless something catastrophic happens, we could have a safe dam by spring of 2026.” On Forest Service issues, Pollock said he’s had several conversations with various parties in Washington, D.C. lately and said “we do have people out here on the ground working for these agencies that we need, particularly range specialists, range cons, both in Department of Interior and Forest. But we also…found out really quick that, by law, we have to have certain people— timber sale administrators, timber harvest administrators—all of those. So they have assured me that we'll find a way to fill those positions.”

Public Works Director Dave Dodds reported that

paperwork for the dead animal pit land transfer near Tropic was complete. In a discussion about potentially paving the final eight miles on the Burr Trail through Capitol Reef National Park, Dodds posited that a categorical exclusion might be unnecessary but that labor and materials would be costly.

The final discussion was a repeated plea by the Yard family regarding activity on a neighboring property zoned as agricultural. Part of Yard’s request related to nuisance issues: unresolved and unsafe fuel storage and a recent incident of a high volume of cement truck traffic and resultant nighttime lighting for some construction activity. But Yard also expressed concern that the county’s ordinances defining agricultural uses may inadvertently give cover to activities that have nothing to do with agriculture. Commissioner Pollock assured him that this situation is being addressed; agreeing that the new level of activity far exceeds that of a neighbor “baling hay at night.”

With a final acknowledgement of November 19 as the county’s official “James A. Garfield Day” in honor of Garfield’s birthday, Commissioner Pollock adjourned the meeting.

The Garfield County Commission meets on the second and fourth Monday of each month starting at 10 a.m. All meetings are held in the County Courthouse in Panguitch. Electronic participation is not available, but all meeting recordings are uploaded to the Utah Public Meetings Notice board, https:// www.utah.gov/pmn/.
