Serving East Juab County - A Nice Place To Live! Volume 110, No. 7 • www.nephitimesnews.com February 15, 2012 Single Copy Price 75¢ Nephi City’s demographics show growth in population, low cost of living By Myrna Trauntvein Times-News Correspondent The demographics which govern city planning are important because the planning done to make a community viable needs to be done on behalf of the people who live there. Nephi’s General Plan update was adopted by the city council on September20, 2011. Randy McKnight, city administrator, was asked by Mayor Mark Jones to continue to provide on-going education for the council on just what is included in the plan. Tuesday evening at council meeting, McKnight discussed Chapter 3 of the plan which provides a demographic profile of the community. A demographic provides enough information about a typical member of a group to create a mental picture of a hypothetical aggregate. Researchers typically have as a goal to create a clear and complete picture of the characteristics of a typical member of each segment of the community. Those wishing to review the recently adopted Nephi City General Plan should go to www. nephi.utah.gov/ and click on the General Plan typed in blue located below the photo of the 2011 Christmas Parade. “According to Census 2010 data, Nephi City had a median age of 30.2 compared to 27.5 in 2000,” said McKnight, “which indicates an aging population.” Juab County’s median age also increased from 26.5 in 2000 to 29.3 in 2010, and the Utah median age increased from 27.1 in 2000 to 29.2 years in 2010. Nephi City’s median age is slightly higher than both the Juab County and Utah’s median age, but significantly lower than the national median age of 37.2. Juab County has a slightly larger percent of its population under the age of 29, while Nephi City has a slightly larger percent of its population over the age of 29. “Nephi City has a unique demographic, as its population under the age of 17 and over the age of 60 makes up a larger percent of its population when compared to the State,” said McKnight. “Both Nephi City and Juab County have a smaller percentage of population between the ages of 18 and 29 years, suggesting an out-migration of these individuals to attend college or find entry-level employment opportunities outside of the community.” Utah is unique because of its young median age and its large household sizes. The national average household size is 2.58 persons, while Utah’s average household size is 3.10.2 According to Census 2010 data, Nephi City’s average household size is 3.13, just slightly higher than the State’s average. Juab County’s average household size in 2010 is 3.27. In addition to the general plan, several other detailed master plans are being created by the city and are resources that can be consulted for more information. The resources available are: Storm Water Drainage Master Plan; Airport Master Plan; Electric Substation and Transmission Master Plan; See Demographics on page 2 FIVE INCHES OF VERY HEAVY, WET SNOW • Nephi residents were treated to 5 inches of very heavy, wet snow from a storm that dumped 1.31 inches of water on Sunday as Mother Nature tried to catch up.

New communications tower will benefit residents By Myrna Trauntvein Times-News Correspondent A new communications tower in Dog Valley would benefit all of the residents of the area. A group of law enforcement officials met with Juab County Commissioners to present the plan. Present were: Omar Issa, Field Technician, State of Utah, Department of Technology Services; Alden Orme, Juab County Sheriff; Brent Pulver, Lieutenant at Juab County Sheriff ’s Office; and Brett Ostler, Juab County Fire Marshal. “We anticipate that the project should be fully funded by grants,” said Orme. “The only expense to the county might be a long-term lease payment to the Garrett Family for the property where the tower would be built.” All agencies that utilize the two-way radio system in the county would benefit from the communications tower and the new equipment which would be housed in a building on the site. A two-way radio is a radio that can both transmit and receive. The term refers to a personal radio transceiver that allows the operator to have a two-way conversation with other similar radios operating on the same radio frequency (channel). “I talked to you (commissioners) about the Title III money which is available,” said Ostler. “If we don’t use that money we will lose it.” That would mean that $90,000 could be placed toward the installation of the system which would serve all agencies and would add spots to the system that are now “dead.” As for the Garrett Family lease, said Val Jones, commissioner, the county has a lease for a nearby piece of property where the television tower is located. That lease agreement could just be amended to include the new location and it would not take as much time to implement. That could be done as long as the family agreed to the addition. A preliminary and unofficial contact with the Garretts had been favorable to allowing the new communications tower to be built near the television tower. “You cannot afford to be without the system,” said Issa. One other item which would be needed at the site, and which would be installed in a small building to be built there, was a power generator that would make the system operable even if there was a power outage. The building proposed is small, said Issa. It would be approximately 12-feet by 24-feet by 9-feet and would have two compartments. One of those would be home to the generator. “The building would cost approximately $45,000 and would be ready to move into,” said Issa. The tower would need a concrete base and would be 100-feet tall. The estimated cost would be approximately $20,000. However, said Orme, it is anticipated that space on the tower would be leased to others who would want to be partners in the system. For example, Utah Communications Agency Network (UCAN), has demonstrated an interest and would bring their own equipment. “That would make the county money,” Orme said. “There would be plenty of room for county needs and for leased space.” It may be wise to build a road from the east to service the two towers—the communications tower and the television tower, said Chad Winn, commission chairman. That would eliminate some of the problems on the west. The tower would not interfere with air space and, if it did, the county would simply need to install a warning light to let aircraft know that it was there. Pulver said that applications had been made and that Bob Garrett, road supervisor, had talked about adding a repeater. There are dead air spaces in the current system, said Pulver. The new communications tower would make it so that Salt Creek Canyon would be covered. There are many accidents there and, currently, communications is dif- ficult. “The new communications system would allow fire departments, EMTs, law enforcement and the county road department to have improved communications,” said Orme. “It will become the primary communication site for the county,” said Pulver. Orme said that Fred Smally, from his department, and Ostler, had been working on ways to fund the new system without cost to the county. “Basically, we are getting the system for free,” said Orme. By the time all costs are added together, he said, the entire system with construction and installation could be in the neighborhood of $100,000. Pulver said that there would be a separate tactical frequency for law enforcement. In addition, he said, the BLM and Forest Service would also likely be interested in being in- See Tower on page 4 Electricity transmission line coming down Salt Creek Canyon is being proposed By Myrna Trauntvein Times-News Correspondent A proposed project will likely bring additional large electricity transmission lines down Salt Creek Canyon and across Juab Valley. “The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for Rocky Mountain Power’s (PacifiCorp) right-ofway application for the Energy Gateway South Transmission Project,” said Randy McKnight, city administrator. McKnight was asked to review information regarding the environmental impact statement being prepared by BLM for Nephi City Council members at council meeting on Tuesday. The project being proposed is a 500-kilovolt alternating current transmission line originating near Medicine Bow in south-central Wyoming and terminating near Mona in central Utah, and is proposed by PacifiCorp, doing business as Rocky Mountain Power. “The BLM held 12 open houses,” said McKnight. “One of those was in Nephi. BLM said that 231 people attended.” During the scoping period in May and early June, BLM hosted the 12 open houses throughout the project area: Baggs, Rock Springs, and Rawlins in Wyoming; Craig, Rangely, and Grand Junction in Colorado; and Roosevelt, Fort Duchesne, Subscribe today • Call 623-0525 to start your paper! Nephi, Price, Mount Pleasant, and Green River in Utah. Comments were submitted to the BLM in comment forms, letters, and emails from diverse interests, including federal, state, and local agencies, local governments, elected and appointed officials, as well as landowners and other citizens. BLM received 168 comment submittals resulting in 522 comments The transmission line will transport power from both renewable and thermal energy sources. The issues derived from the comments that need to be addressed, said McKnight, in the See Line on page 4 The Times-News February 15, 2012 Page 2 Demographics /From page 1 Plan; Waste Water System Master Plan. “Nephi is a community that values its rural-town character and lifestyle and desires to continue a quality rural environment as it plans for growth and fosters economic vitality in the future,” he said. Nephi makes up 53 percent of the population of Juab County. Based on Census 2010 data, Nephi City has a population of 5,389 people compared to 4,733 people ten years prior. “Household size in Nephi City has decreased slightly over the past ten years from 3.24 in the 2000 Census to 3.13 in 2010 Census,” he said. Nephi City grew at an average annual rate of 1.3 percent over the past ten years compared to an annual growth rate of 2.2 percent for Juab County. Both Nephi City and Juab County have lower growth rates than bordering Utah County, which has an average annual growth rate of 3.4 percent. However, Utah County has one of the most rapid growth rates in the nation, and both Juab County and Nephi City are still experiencing higher-than-average growth rates compared to the national average growth rate over the past ten years of 0.93 percent. Millard County (located immediately south of Juab County) grew at an average annual rate of only .08 percent from 2000 to 2010, while the State of Utah also experienced rapid growth, averaging a growth rate of 2.15 percent from 2000 to 2010. Juab County Population Growth 2000-2010: Juab County 8,238 to 10,246; Eureka City 766 to 669; Levan Town 688 to 841; Mona City 850 to 1,547; Nephi City 4,733 to 5,389; Rocky Ridge 403 to 733; Santaquin City 0 to 8 (The majority of Santaquin is in Utah County.); Balance of Juab County 798 to 1,059. Because of the recent market downturn, projecting future growth in Nephi City becomes somewhat uncertain. Nephi City is projected by the GOPB (Governor’s Office of Planning and Budget) to reach a population of 21,489 in Area Weather Forcast!

Nephi would then include 56 percent of the County’s population. According to American Community Survey (ACS) data, (5-year estimate in 2009 inflation-adjusted dollars) households in Nephi City had a median household income of $47,389. In comparison, the Juab County median household income was $50,360, and Utah’s median household income was $55,642. “This data suggests that on average, incomes in Juab County are approximately 85 percent of incomes statewide,” he said. However, the cost of living (especially evident in median home prices) is less in Juab County, thereby mitigating some of the impacts of the lower incomes. From a regional perspective, Juab County is considered to be part of the Provo-Orem Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). Nephi City has a higher percentage of households with incomes below $25,000 and a lower percentage of households with incomes above $50,000 when compared to the state.

A Toshiba 3560 copy machine, a 2001 Crane Carrier garbage truck and a John Deere tractor model 830 were all added to the list of items to be auctioned. “These and other items previously designated, may now be sold through the online auction service recently reviewed by the council,” said Randy McKnight, city administrator. McKnight said the city staff had been reviewing EIS include: the project purpose and need; alternative transmission line routes; air quality and noise; water resources; vegetation and wildlife; wildland fire ecology and management; geology and soils; cultural resources; tribal concerns; visual resources; paleontological resources; land use and recreation resources. “The BLM will address the issues which came from the comments made in response to the scoping meetings,” he said. Alternative routes affect 17 counties in Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. “Almost all of the alternate routes proposed come down Salt Creek,” said McKnight. The project begins in south central Wyoming near Medicine Bow and traverses from northeast to southwest across northwestern Colorado to the planned Clover Substation near Mona, Utah. Through planning studies analyzing the electrical power system, Rocky Mountain Power determined its existing system, last upgraded about 25 years ago, needs to be upgraded to ensure sufficient capacity and reliable power is available for its customers. The project would increase capacity and service reliability for its customers in the region. When completed, the line would transmit up to 1,500 megawatts of electricity. The EIS will disclose the effects of implementing the proposed project and the measures to reduce those effects. Also, if the proposed project does not comply with existing agency landuse plans, plans may need to be amended. In addition to leading the preparation of the EIS and plan amendments, the BLM will lead consultations such as a governmentto-government tribal consultation (letters were sent to 33 tribes on April 1, 2011 informing them of the project and inviting them to participate). As proposed, there would be a 500 kV alternating current overhead transmission line, a 250 foot right-of-way width, 400+ miles long. The typical self-supporting steel lattice tower structures would be 140-190 feet in height and average spans would be 1,000 to 1,500 feet apart with four to five structures per mile. “BLM is analyzing the majority of the alternative routes presented during scoping,” said McKnight. Some segments were eliminated from further consideration because they were ineffective, technically or economically infeasible, inconsistent with management objectives for the area, remote or speculative, substantially similar in design to an alternative that is analyzed in detail. The BLM will collect data for each of the resources and resource uses potentially affected in the project area. Then, in coordination with the cooperating agencies, the BLM will assess the impacts the project may have on each of the resources and apply measures to mitigate the impacts. “The alternative routes will be compared, impacts reported and documented, and the findings disclosed in the Draft EIS and any plan amendments, which will be released for a 90-day public review and comment period,” said McKnight. Comments received will be analyzed and responses will be included in a Final EIS and proposed plan amendments. A minimum 30-day comment period will conclude with the issuance of a Record of Decision. The BLM would issue a rightof-way grant and the USFS would issue a special-use permit if the decision is made to approve the project. The Scoping Report is now available on the BLM Project website at www. blm.gov/wy/st/en/info/ NEPA/documents/hdd/gateway_south/scoping. html. Also, once the Draft EIS has been released for public review, the BLM will hold open houses throughout the Project area to receive comments on the Draft EIS. items owned by the city but were no longer needed or in use. Some items had been replaced by new models. Those items were then listed for auction. In prior meetings, he said, the council had reviewed other items that would be considered surplus but the three items being added had been missed. “The city had a presentation from the auction service which is called Public Surplus.” The home-grown business has expanded to other states and now provides a wide base for sales. The city council, however, would like local residents to know that they are welcome to bid online on any item listed by the city. The only catch is that those bidding must first register at the site. Help is available through the web site, by e-mail, or by using the site’s live chat button. “Parties interested in bidding will need to register and provide a telephone number and an e-mail address,” McKnight said. There are actually about 24 items up for bid. Some items of a minor nature will not need to be reviewed by the council before being posted by the staff and, therefore, a few items could still be added to the list. “This is our first try with the auction service,” said McKnight. However, many other government entities use the service to dispose of their surplus items. Visitors to the site are asked to please read carefully and understand the terms and conditions as well as the details within each auction. The purchase is a contract. When a bid is submitted, the bidder is entering into a legally binding contract to purchase the item. Those interested in bidding on any of the city items will need to go to: www.publicsurplus.com. Levan council members discuss the possibility of requiring kennel licenses within town limits By Rebecca Dopp Times-News Correspondent How many dogs on one’s property is too many and should be considered a kennel? And, should the town make an ordinance requiring a kennel license? These are a few questions that Levan Town council members discussed at their February meeting. Heather Taylor, Levan Town clerk, informed the council that when they had updated the dog licensing ordinance, they had taken the part about kennel licensing out of it and she wondered if the council felt like there was a need to put it back in. She said that there had been complaints from residents who felt there should be a kennel license required for those who had multiple dogs on their property. Sandra Mangelson, council member, said that a resident had previously complained about the town’s dog kennel for animal control being located in the center of town. The town moved the location of the kennel out by the park to accommodate the neighbors. This same resident said she thought it wasn’t right that the town allowed kennels in town limits. The town does not currently license any kennels. Brian Huntsman, town animal control officer, said the dog owners he had talked with said they wouldn’t mind paying for a kennel license if the town would allow several tags for each dog with one number on them per kennel. “Some of them don’t keep their dogs for six months, they get rid of it,” he said. “They don’t want to keep getting a license for every new dog.” Mangelson asked if these people were raising these dogs as a business. Mayor Russ Mangelson said most of the dog owners were raising them for hunting purposes and if a dog didn’t work out, then they gave it away or sold them and replaced the dog. She asked if there was a limit for each kennel. Huntsman said he didn’t remember what the old ordinance said, but he thought it was around 5-6 dogs per kennel license. Taylor said the council could set the limit in the ordinance. Huntsman said these hunting dogs were not licensed at all currently because they were always penned up. “You can’t make them license their dogs,” he said. “As long as they stay on their property, you can’t make them.” S. Mangelson said she thought every dog had to be licensed. Huntsman said they should, in case they get out they can be returned, but that he cannot go onto someone’s property and write them a ticket if their dogs are not running loose. S. Mangelson said she felt that in a residential area, six dogs should be the limit for a kennel. She said the town should consider other residents’ rights to enjoy being outside without having to hear the barking and smell the smell. “In the summertime, you want to be able to have your windows open and enjoy the breezes,” she said. Jilean Ercanbrack, council member, asked what would be the benefit for the town to have a kennel licensing ordinance. Huntsman said it would bring in some revenue, which the town is not getting right now from those choosing to not license their dogs. She was skeptical that the dog owners would license their dogs if they are not being forced to do so currently. Huntsman said that the people he had talked to said they would be willing to get a kennel license, but weren’t going to do anything until it was an ordinance. Ercanbrack said that a kennel license would put a limit on the number of dogs that someone could own within town limits. R. Mangelson asked if a kennel license covered cats, as well. Huntsman said some towns limited the number to two cats and two dogs per household without a kennel license. The council recognized other problems associated with multiple dogs, including barking and wondered about a nuisance ordinance. Ercanbrack said that needed to be considered in the ordinance as well. Ercanbrack felt the council should look at other town’s ordinances and see what they were doing before making a final decision. R. Mangelson asked the council to think about the issue and they would table it for another time. Levan Town assigns duties to new council members By Rebecca Dopp Times-News Correspondent With two new council members on the Levan Town Council, the duties of each member needed to be addressed and assigned accordingly. The council met in January to discuss who would oversee each department. The duties are as follows: Mayor Russell Mangelson will oversee employees, the electric department, the gas department, the garbage department, and safety. Larry Durffee will oversee the cemetery, beautification, the junk yard and serve as Mayor Pro-Tem. Sandra Mangelson will oversee beautification, planning and zoning and safety. Jilean Ercanbrack will oversee the activities committee, fire, the cable department, and the park. Brent Taylor will oversee the ambulance department, streets, water department and animal control. Council members were satisfied with their assignments and are looking forward to serving the community. Subscribe Today! Call 623-0525 to start your newspaper! Recreation Facility Master Plan; Water System Master Line /From page 1 The Times-News February 15, 2012 Page 3 Transmission line from substation in Mona to Tooele County is currently being constructed By Myrna Trauntvein Times-News Correspondent Currently being constructed is a 500-kilovolt transmission line from the existing Clover substation near Mona in Juab County to the future Limber substation in Tooele County. Known as Segment C— Mona to Oquirrh—the new transmission project is planned to help meet the area’s growing need for electricity and will begin in Mona and will end at the Oquirrh substation. A 345-kv double-circuit transmission line will lead from the location of the Limber substation to the existing Oquirrh substation in West Jordan, in Salt Lake County. “The project, when completed, will be approximately 100 miles long and is part of the company’s overall Energy Gateway transmission expansion project,” states PacifiCorp in the fact sheet the company has produced. Within the company’s service area, Northern Utah represents the fastest growing area in Utah and one of the major growth areas within the region. New transmission lines and substations are necessary to provide additional capacity to serve the growing electrical demand of customers and to improve reliability and operational flexibility of the electrical system. These additional transmission facilities are also needed to prepare for future generation resources. On February 4, 2011, Bureau of Land Management signed the Record of Decision and the easement for the right of way across federal lands and on February 10, 2011, notification was published in the Federal Register. The project is to be completed by the summer of 2013 when the line is scheduled to be in service to customers. The project contractor is EC Source. Announced in October 2007, the construction is needed to meet the growing needs of customers. “The new transmission facilities are needed to: provide additional capacity to serve growing electrical demand; to improve reliability and flexibility of the electrical system; to prepare to deliver electricity to customers from new generation resources,” states the newsletter. The current transmission system is operating at or near capacity at various times because individual consumers today use 26 percent more electricity than they did 20 years ago. “Rocky Mountain Power, as part of PacifiCorp, is committed to providing safe, reliable and efficient electrical power to customers,” it said. More than 450 miles of possible routes were studied to determine the final line route. During the permitting process, more than 90 meetings were held with the public, stakeholders and interested groups to discuss the project and the line route. Project materials and newsletters were sent to nearly 10,000 landowners and interested parties during the course of the project development.

About a Boy Mona Lisa Smile A League of Their Own Seven Pounds Between Heaven and Earth PacifiCorp proposed the project to establish a new high-voltage transmission line and two new substations in Utah in order to meet the increasing needs for power in the north part of the state. The project originates at the Clover substation to be built near Mona in Juab County. A single-circuit 500/345-kilovolt line will run north to the site of the future Limber substation in Tooele County. From the Limber substation, the voltage will be stepped down and a double circuit 345-kilovolt line will be built connecting to the existing Oquirrh substation in West Jordan. Planned and permitted as part of this project but for future 2/1 Animal Control Police were notified of a dog lying in the middle of the street not moving (545 North 600 East). When the police arrived at the location given to by dispatch, there were no signs of a dog, or animal lying in the middle of the road. Drug Incident An upset mother has kicked her 19-year old daughter and her boyfriend out of her house for not helping with rent and food. It was learned that the 19year old daughter and her boyfriend were using drugs in the mother’s home. Animal Problem Picked up and disposed of a dog hit by car (122 North Main). Motorist Assist Police called to a Motorist assist at Tesoro gas station. Motorist assist was a vehicle lockout at the gas pumps. Complaint Individual stated he recently purchased a home from the bank on a foreclosure. He stated that the prior owner needed to get some personal belongings out of a shed located on the property. The individual was requesting the police be present when this person gets the belongings. Animal Problem Picked up and disposed of a dead cat (960 E. 100 North). Medical Assist Police responded to a medical emergency, to assist East Juab Ambulance. The elderly victim was complaining of severe abdominal pain and was transported by ambulance to CVMC emergency room. 2/3 YW AWARD • Dayna Blair Kay was presented with her Young Womanhood Recognition Award of January 1, 2012 by Bishop Craig Weight of the Mona 3rd Ward.

Sift the flour into a large bowl, add the sugar, vanilla extract, lemon zest, egg yolks and butter. Mix with an electric food mixer or a wooden spoon until it comes together as a dough. Remove from the bowl and flatten with a rolling pin or the palm of your hand to about 3/4-in. thick. Wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. Remove the dough from the fridge and place on a lightly floured work surface. Roll the dough out to about 1/4-in thick. Using a biscuit cutter, cut the dough into discs. Take half the discs, and using either a plain or flower-shaped 1 1/4-in. cutter, cut holes from the center. Bring the scraps together and roll out to make more discs, and cut holes in the center of these. You should end up with about 35 whole discs and 35 discs with the centers cut out. Place the discs on baking trays and bake for 8-10 minutes until pale golden. Allow to stand for a few minutes, then remove from the trays and transfer to wire racks to cool. When the discs are cool, spread 1/2-1 teaspoon of jam on the whole discs and top with the discs with the centers cut out. Dust with icing sugar and serve. Irish Lamb or Beef Stew Servings: 4-6 2 lbs boned lamb (Lamb is traditional) or 2 lbs boned beef , sliced, 1/4inch slices 2 lbs peeled potatoes, thinly sliced 3 large onions, thinly sliced salt and pepper to taste 2 tablespoons fresh parsley 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 13 ounces water Trim the meat, leaving a little of the fat and slice. Season the meat and veggies with salt, pepper, 2 teaspoons of parsley and the thyme. Layer the potatoes, meat and onions in a large casserole, starting and finishing with a layer of potatoes. Add the water and cover tightly. Cook in a preheated oven at 275 degrees for 2 1/2 hours, shake occasionally to prevent sticking, and check liquid now and then. Do not add unless absolutely necessary. The potatoes will thicken the finished stew so it should not be too runny. Just before serving, remove lid and brown the top under a hot broiler and sprinkle with remaining parsley. The potatoes on top should be nice and brown and crisp.

Call 623-0525 to start your paper As part of Snow College’s expanding initiatives in economic development across the college’s six-county service region, Mr. Doug Johnson was recently hired to serve as the Coordinator of the Office of Continuing Education and Economic Development (CEED). Although not directly connected, the creation of the CEED office followed the completion of a one year grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development Program in which Snow College’s office of the Utah Small Business Development Center (SBDC) participated in the Rural Business Outreach Program, which concluded in the fall of 2011. “Although the Rural Business Outreach Program grant period is over, I believe the impact of those efforts will continue,” said Alan Christensen, director of the SBDC at Snow College, who made it clear that the SBDC continues to operate as usual. Through The Rural Business Outreach Program several resources were shared with the Juab County Economic Development Office and dozens of business media resources were donated to the Nephi Public Library. Additionally, development was completed on the RuralUtahBusiness.com website in connection with a toll-free number to route calls directly to local business assistance resources. Part of Johnson’s role as the CEED Coordinator involves helping the college connect better with the communities of central Utah, particularly with regard to community and entrepreneurial assistance and training. An example of this coordinating effort is his recent help in facilitating training events supported by the Juab County Extension office, SBDC and Snow College’s Farm and Ranch Management Program, Continuing Education and Custom Fit Training program. This effort has resulted in training events being offered and promoted locally including the following programs in Nephi: Farm Estate Planning seminar on February 16, Beginning Quickbooks class starting February 23, and an offering of FranklinCovey’s “7 Habits for Small Business Managers” workshop which begins on March 22. Those interested in providing feedback and ideas to enhance the continuing education and economic development efforts of Snow College are encouraged to contact Johnson at (435) 283-7320. Additional information regarding the upcoming training programs may also be found by contacting Johnson at that number or by visiting the Events section of www. RuralUtahBusiness.com for business related events or www.snow.edu/coned for other continuing education classes. Small Business Development Centers (SBDC) are funded in part through a Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration. The SBDC at Snow College is also supported by funding from the State of Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development and Snow College. The SBDC provides professional business counseling services free of charge as well as training and business service network facilitation. Kristy Carter named Utah Art Teacher of the Year By Myrna Trauntvein Times-News Correspondent Kristy Carter, Juab High School Art instructor has been selected for a teaching award. “We just received word that Juab High School’s very own Kristy Carter has been named the Utah Art Teacher of the Year by the BYU David O. McKay Center,” said Rick Robins, principal of Juab High School. There will be a ceremony to recognize Carter for this prestigious achievement. The ceremony will be held at the Springville Museum of Art on March 10 at 11 a.m. “A sincere congratulations to Kristy for all she does for our students at JHS,” said Robins. “This award is well deserved.” Carter is being recognized by her peers across the state as the Utah Art Teacher of the Year. Not only is Carter an asset to the art department at Juab High, she is also an artist herself. “Art plays an important part in learning creativity and problem solving skills. Numerous studies have proven that participating in art will help student achievement in every subject,” said Carter in her art policy disclosure statement. “It is also an exciting and fun way to learn.” Kristy Carter Tower /From page 1 cluded. When the wildland fire had occurred on Mount Nebo several years ago, the Forest Service had indicated they needed improved communications, said Ostler. “The Forest Service has already indicated an interest in being part of the new communications tower,” said Ostler. The system would be part of the Homeland Security communications system, said Orme. Therefore, funds from that source could also be used to pay for the communications system. “The Utah Highway Patrol would also like to be included on the communications tower,” said Orme. “They would do the annual maintenance so the county would not have that cost.” Congress directed the Department of Homeland Security to develop the first National Emergency Communications Plan (NECP). The purpose of the NECP is to promote the ability of emergency response providers and relevant government officials to continue to communicate in the event of natural disasters, acts of terrorism, and other manmade disasters and to ensure, accelerate, and attain interoperable emergency communications nationwide. Ostler was assigned to get the coordinates for the tower by GPS and get them to Craig Sperry, county recorder. It will be necessary, as well, for the Garrett Family to agree to a lease before the project can be pursued. “The grants are time-sensitive,” said Orme.

Watch the sky turn white, see as many as 20,000 snow geese It’s a sight you have to see to believe: thousands of pure white snow and Ross’ geese lifting off Gunnison Bend Reservoir amid honks and the beating of wings. You can see this spectacle yourself on Feb. 24, 25 and 26 at the annual Utah Snow Goose Festival. The festival will be held at and near Gunnison Bend Reservoir, just west of Delta. Admission is free. As many as 20,000 light geese—mostly snow geese—have been at the reservoir during past fes- tivals. Except for the black tips on their wings, snow geese are pure white. “We’ll provide spotting scopes so you can get a close look at the geese,” says Bob Walters, Watchable Wildlife coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources. “We’ll FESTIVAL • Snow and Ross’ geese are the stars of the Snow Goose Festival.

Walters says if you arrive early in the morning, you can watch the geese feeding in fields that surround the reservoir. Then, at about 10:30 a.m., the geese take off and fly back to the reservoir. “That’s an exciting time to see and hear the geese,” he says. After landing on the reservoir, the geese usually spend the next few hours there. “Then, anywhere from 4 to 6 p.m., they take off again and fly back to the fields,” Walters says. “It’s thrilling to be there when the geese take off.” DWR biologists will watch which fields the geese fly to. If you arrive after the geese have left the reservoir, the biologists will direct you to the fields where the geese are feeding. •Viewing tips *Use binoculars or a spotting scope to view the geese.

As your checkbook can attest, this has been an expensive year and it’s not over yet. You’re probably still facing senior prom, graduation gifts and many other expenses. For those whose children are juniors, start planning and budgeting now for next year. Here are some expenses you can anticipate: Senior prom can be one of the year’s biggest expenditures. According to a recent national survey conducted by Visa Inc., families expect to spend an average of $807 on prom-related expenses this year. These might include: •New prom dresses often cost $100 to $500 or more. •Another couple hundred for shoes, accessories, flowers and professionally styled hair, nails and makeup. •New tuxedos cost several hundred dollars, not to mention formal shirt, tie, studs and shoes. Even renting them could run over $150. •Figure at least $100 an hour plus tip to rent a limousine for a minimum of four hours. •Prom tickets typically cost $50 to $150 per person, depending on venue, entertainment, meals, etc. •Budget at least $40 for a nice meal. •After-parties can run anywhere from a few bucks at the bowling alley to hundreds for group hotel suites. Prom is only one component of the senior-year experience. Talk to recent graduates and their parents about expenses they faced and their lessons learned. Decide early on the geese, you could scare them away. *If you pull off the road to view the geese, pull as far off the road as you can. And watch for cars. *The weather could be cold and wet. Bring the proper clothes so you can stay warm and dry. For more information about the 2012 Snow Goose Festival, call the Delta Area Chamber of Commerce at (435) 864-4316. See lots of deer, DWR provides winter viewing tips Winter is a great time to see mule deer—and lots of them. Herds that number more than 100 deer are often seen near major roads in Utah. While it’s exciting to see deer in the winter, please remember that winter is also the toughest time of the year for deer. •The best time to see deer During the day, deer spend most of their time relaxing near trees that keep them hidden from view. But as the sun starts to set in the early evening, the deer leave the cover of the trees and move onto the open flats where their food is found. Driven by hunger, the deer usually approach the unprotected areas timidly. Finally, a few brave individuals move in to feed, followed by the entire herd. The food that’s available to deer in the winter doesn’t provide much nutrition. Combine the limited nutritional value with the fact that deer can’t store much fat on their bodies, and you 96 South Main, Nephi, Utah &DOOWRGD\ See DEER on page 10 which expenses are essential and which ones you can do without. For example, if your child is college bound, entrance exams, study guides and tutoring are important, but can quickly add up: •The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) costs $47 each time it’s taken, plus an additional $10 to $21 per individual subject test. •American College Testing (ACT) costs $33, plus another $15 for the writing test. •A comprehensive online SAT review course from the Princeton Review will set you back $599. •Personalized individual and small group tutoring sessions can cost thousands of dollars. Other common senior year expenses include: •College application fees—often $40 to $80 per institution. •For site visits at schools outside the area, costs can vary widely. Don’t forget airfare, gas, lodging, meals, local transportation, etc. •Senior portraits and prints often cost hundreds of dollars. •Graduation announcements, thank-you notes and postag—could be $100-plus. •Senior class dues. •Yearbooks can run $35 to $85, plus additional fees if you take out a congratulatory ad. •Class rings—different styles often run $100 to $500 or more. •Cap and gown—usually $25 to $50. •Graduation gift and party—it’s up to you to manage expectations. You want to ensure your child has a memorable senior year, but not at the expense of your overall budget. Before the school year begins, create a senior-year budget and get your kid involved in the tough decisions, prioritizing expenses from vital to non-essential. Learning the importance of setting and sticking to a budget is a valuable life lesson for your kids. SENIOR SPOTLIGHT • Clifton Taylor is the son of Alan and Mary-Ann Taylor of Nephi.

The Times-News February 15, 2012 Page 7 BLM Utah announces Jenna Whitlock as Associate State Director Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Utah State Director Juan Palma today announced the selection of Jenna Whitlock as the new Associate Director of the BLM Utah.

Whitlock will report to her new position in May. “I am proud to announce Jenna Whitlock will serve as BLM Utah Associate State Director position.

If they aren’t careful, hunters might lose their chance to hunt snow geese in and near Delta in the spring. During past hunts, landowners in the Delta area have had some difficult encounters with spring snow goose hunters. Some of these encounters have even resulted in damage to personal property. It appears that at least some of these hunters aren’t clear about Utah’s trespass laws. • Must have written permission If you’re planning to hunt snow geese in the Delta area during the hunt that runs March 1-10, please remember that almost all of the ground that attracts geese to the area is privately owned and cultivated. You must have written permission before you can access these properties, even if the properties aren’t Blast from the past… posted. And the time to get that permission isn’t the day of the hunt—it’s now. Lynn Chamberlain, a regional conservation outreach manager for the Division of Wildlife Resources, says the snow goose hunt in Delta can be a fun event if you plan ahead and obtain permission from landowners to hunt their property. “Don’t expect to show up the day of the hunt and get permission,” Chamberlain says. “You need to prepare in advance to legally hunt in Delta or any area in Utah that has private land.” •Cultivated property Utah’s law is very clear—cultivated property is off limits to hunters who don’t have written permission to be there, even if the land isn’t posted. Utah’s trespass law reads as follows: “While taking wildlife or engaging in wildlife-related activities, you may not do any of the following activi- Times-News Crossword Puzzle Puzzle Answers on page 5 BLAST FROM THE PAST • The 1948 ProVita at Juab High. Courtesy of John Ingram. ties: *Enter upon privately owned land that is cultivated OR properly posted without the permission of the owner or the person in charge of the land *Refuse to immediately leave the private land if requested to do so by the owner or person in charge *Obstruct any entrance or exit to private property “Cultivated land” is land that is readily identifiable as land whose soil is loosened or broken up for the raising of crops, land used for the raising of crops, or a pasture that is artificially irrigated. “Permission” means written authorization from the owner or person in charge to enter upon private land that is cultivated or properly posted. Permission must include all of the following details: *The signature of the owner or person in charge *The name of the person being given permission *The appropriate dates *A general description of the land” In the sentence “Enter upon privately owned land that is cultivated OR properly posted without the permission of the owner or the person in charge of the land,” the word “or” makes the statement before it and after it stand alone. In other words, cultivated land does not need to be posted to prevent trespass. Violation of this law is a Class B misdemeanor that could result in fines and the loss of your hunting privileges. If you intend to hunt geese in the Delta area, you must contact land owners and secure written permission before you can hunt on their land. Permission cards are available for free at http:// go.usa.gov/cEf. •Why hunt geese in the spring? Each spring, thousands of snow geese flock to the fields and reservoirs around Delta as they make their way north to their nesting grounds. When they finally arrive above the Arctic Circle, the geese find they’re not alone. Hundreds of thousands of additional snow geese are also there, sharing the vast tundra that serves as a nesting area and as rearing grounds for the young geese that will hatch. Because snow geese are very successful nesters, they have a tendency to over-populate the area on which they congregate to nest. In fact, there are so many snow geese in some areas that the geese are damaging the habitat the birds rely on for survival. To try to decrease the damage, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has initiated a spring hunt for snow geese. Biologists hope the hunt will help thin the birds out as they fly north in the early spring. For more information about hunting snow geese in the Delta area, call the DWR’s Southern Region office at (435) 865-6100. Times-News Kids Corner The Times-News February 15, 2012 Page 8 Message From Margie By Margie Memmott • Extension Agent Earn it, keep it, save it! The ‘Earn it Keep it Save it’ campaign is Utah’s statewide initiative to strengthen family financial stability through the utilization of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), the Child Tax Credit (CTC), Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA), and asset formation programs for low and median income families. Utah State University Extension offices throughout the state co-host and partner with United Ways of Utah, Utah Community Action Partnership and dozens of other community partners to provide outreach education and assistance to help Utahans (including those living in rural areas) keep the money they have earned, receive earned income tax credits, have their taxes done for free, and learn ways to use their refunds to invest in their family’s future. Do You Qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit? With this year’s tax season underway, the Internal Revenue Service encourages taxpayers to look into whether they qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). “Don’t overlook this valuable credit that’s been in existence for more than thirty years,” said Bill Brunson, an IRS spokesman. “It can put money in your pocket even if you didn’t have any income tax withheld.” The EITC provided $59.7 billion to more than 27 million Americans last year. The IRS believes up to one in four eligible taxpayers fail to claim the credit, which can be as much as $5,751 this year. The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a refundable credit for people who work but do not make a lot of money. Created in 1975, the EITC helps offset Social Security taxes and provides an incentive for people to work. It is the federal government’s largest benefits program for working families. The EITC is a refundable credit which can increase a refund or reduce the amount of taxes due or cause a refund even if there was no federal income tax withheld. Unfortunately twenty to twenty-five percent of individuals, who the IRS believes would qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit, fail to claim it. One reason for this could be an awareness issue. Some workers’ income may be so low they have no tax filing requirement. They may not be aware that if they did file a tax return, they might qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit. Did you work in 2011? You may be eligible for the Earned Income Credit-even if you don’t owe income tax. If you worked in 2011: • Did you have one child living with you? Did you earn less than $36,052*? You can get an EIC up to $5,112. • Did you have 2 children living with you? Did you earn less than $40,964*?

By Julene Reese, and Doug Nielson, psychotherapist and speaker Our closest relationships can bring both joy and challenges. In fact, most relationships have approximately 12 things both parties disagree on at any given time. But what is more important than the struggles is what the couple does to build the relationship and reconnect. When we focus on the things that are going right in our relationships, we can more easily conquer the struggles we may face as a team. Consider these tips to reconnect and build a stronger marital relationship. •Listen to your partner every day. Sometimes we think we are being good listeners, but in reality, we are more rejecting than receiving. Listening is often about seeking connection with someone rather than giving advice or solving problems. Even if we ask for advice, we are often just seeking to be understood and validated. So, the next time your partner is sharing his or her thoughts with you, listen carefully to what is being said, not just to the words but to what is important to him or her and why. •Laugh with your partner. When we were kids, we laughed 200 to 300 times a day, but the average adult laughs only12 to 14 times per day. When we lose humor in our relationship, we may get too wound up and JUAB COUNTY SEALED PROPOSAL TO LEASE PROPERTY PROPOSAL OPENING: fundraising, community programs, volunteerism, journalism, or other activities.

It is important to see humor in one another and in challenging moments. For good mental health, we are told to have five belly laughs a day. It’s not only good for our health, but it also strengthens relationships. •Look at your partner. You see the ones you love almost every day but when was the last time you looked at them deep in their eyes and really connected? Look in your partner’s eyes for about 30 seconds, be in the moment and pay close attention to his or her facial expressions. Look at the person as a whole, for who they really are, and not for what frustrates or hurts you. When you really connect with someone, you feel it deep inside and it also literally stimulates the brain, not to mention it helps you feel closer. •Touch daily. Physical touch is good for your health. Shoot for five hugs a day. Many of these will probably be from your partner, but they can also be from kids or others who are close. Touch could also be in the form of holding your partner’s hand while watching TV, giving them a kiss hello or goodbye or touching them on the shoulder or hair while walking by to acknowledge them. When we touch someone, we let them know they are important to us and it builds our relationship. By practicing these simple tips on a daily basis, we exercise our relationship muscles so that we continue to grow together rather than letting our relationship atrophy. Reconnecting doesn’t have to take a lot of time or money, but making investments every day can make a huge difference in the marital relationship and also in general happiness and satisfaction in life.

DEER /From page 6 can see why it’s important that deer are allowed to feed relaxed and undisturbed in the winter. •Viewing tips The Division of Wildlife Resources encourages you to get out this winter and see Utah’s mule deer. By following the guidelines below, you can help ensure your viewing experience is a good one for both you and the deer: *Stay in your vehicle. Deer are used to seeing cars and trucks, so vehicles don’t alarm them much. If you get out of your vehicle and move around, how- ever, you’ll frighten the deer. That will cause them to burn precious energy reserves as they run away from you. *Never allow dogs to run free around deer. Many dogs will be tempted to chase the deer. And that will cause the deer to waste important energy reserves running away from your dog. If you plan on viewing deer, you should probably leave your dog at home. *Bring a spotting scope, binoculars or a good telephoto lens for your camera. The more powerful your optics, the better. *If you move to secondary or frontage roads, you can often get closer to deer without alarming them. *Deer tend to move a lot when they eat. With a little observation, you can often determine the direction the deer are moving. If you select a position that’s in the direction the deer are moving, the deer might move closer to you. If you’re taking photos just before sunset-which is the time of day that provides the best light-you can come away with some spectacular photographs.
