Obituary-Alan Lou Pugmire

 Alan Lou Pugmire, 73, of St. Charles, Idaho, peacefully returned to his Heavenly Father on April 4, 2024, following a brief struggle with stomach cancer, surrounded by his loving family at home. 

Born on December 3, 1950, in Montpelier, Idaho, Alan was the third of four children to Louis and Josephine Pugmire.  He was raised in St. Charles and moved to Soda Springs as a freshman.  Alan was very active in sports, including basketball, football, and track.   

On August 3, 1973, he married his sweetheart, Peggy Hopkins, in the Ogden, Utah Temple, and together they raised their five children in St. Charles.  As a devoted father, he instilled values of integrity and hard work in his children, leaving an indelible mark on their lives. 

For nearly 50 years, Alan worked at the mines in Soda Springs forging lifelong friendships.  He loved to hunt, fish, be outdoors, work on the farm, and cherished time with his family.  A devout member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Alan faithfully served in various callings, the latest being a temple worker with his Peggy Sue.  He possessed a strong testimony of Jesus Christ and left a profound impact despite his quiet demeanor. 

Alan is survived by his wife, Peggy Pugmire of St. Charles ID;  children, Justin (Marisa) Pugmire of Ucon, ID; Amber (Brad) Henderson of Pendleton, OR; Travis (Kristen) Pugmire of Carlsbad, CA; Wendy (available) Pugmire  of Costa Mesa, CA; Tyler (Bridget) Pugmire of Randolph, UT; 19 grandchildren; 1 great grandchild; siblings, Rexine (Jim) Mattson; RaeLynne Taylor; Kim (JaLayne) Pugmire; and father-in-law, Loyal Hopkins.    

Alan was preceded in death by his parents Louis and Josephine Pugmire, mother-in-law Barbara Hopkins, and grandson Braydon Pugmire.

Funeral services will be held Friday, April 12 at 11:00 am.  A viewing on Thursday, April 11 from 7– 8:30 pm and Friday, April 12 from 9:30-10:45 am.  All services will be held at the St. Charles LDS church; 75 North Main St.  Burial will be in the St. Charles cemetery.

Alan’s presence will be deeply missed, but his spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

DWR confirms beavers killed by disease; urges public to report any dead beavers

 SALT LAKE CITY — Nine beavers were found dead over the last few weeks in Summit, Wasatch and Utah counties. Three were tested and found to be positive for a disease called tularemia, which can also affect humans. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources is asking the public to take caution by not touching the animals and to report any dead beavers to DWR officials.

The beavers were found in the following locations:

• Five dead beavers were discovered near the Swaner Preserve & EcoCenter by preserve staff between March 23 and April 2. All five beavers shared one beaver lodge at the preserve. 
• Another dead beaver was found near Midway on April 5 by a DWR fisheries crew. 
• Two additional beavers and a vole were found dead near the Jordanelle Dam on April 8.
• Another dead beaver was discovered in the Birdseye area of Utah County on April 10.

The carcasses of two beavers discovered at the Swaner Preserve & EcoCenter, the beaver discovered at Midway, and the beaver found near Birdseye were all submitted for disease testing to the Utah Veterinary Diagnostic Lab and the Utah Public Health Lab. All three tested positive for tularemia. 

“The bacteria that causes this infection is known to be in the environment in many parts of Utah; however, it is unusual to see this many animals die from it at once,” DWR Veterinarian Ginger Stout said. 

Tularemia — also known as rabbit fever, hare plague and deerfly fever — is caused by a bacteria and is an acute, fatal infectious disease of rabbits, hares and other rodents, including beavers. The disease is present throughout North America and is transmitted:

• Through the bite of a tick or deerfly 
• By direct contact with blood or tissue from infected animals
• By ingestion of contaminated water or undercooked rabbit or hare meat from an infected animal

Humans are susceptible to tularemia, and human cases typically result from the bite of a tick or deerfly in the summer or when someone handles infected animals harvested during hunting or trapping seasons. The disease can be life-threatening for people if not treated quickly, but most infections can be treated successfully with antibiotics, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 

“There is a concern about the possibility of tick-borne or fly-borne diseases, so it’s advised to take the necessary precautions by wearing protective clothing, using appropriate insect repellent and checking for ticks after being in brushy areas,” Stout said. 

Anyone who sees dead rabbits, beavers or other rodents should not touch the carcasses and should report them to their nearest DWR office . 

The last confirmed case of tularemia killing wildlife in Utah was in 2017 with a cottontail rabbit in the Kanab area. 

Find more information about tularemia on the Utah Department of Health & Human Services website.

Rich County Commission notes

 

10:00 Travis Hobbs - Fire Warden Approval of the Rich County Community Wildfire Protection Plan. Travis had many things to report. He talked about trying to get each HOA to work with him and with Bryce Nielson, our County emergency Manager to plan for dangerous conditions. He has been contacting equipment operators who might have equipment that would be available on call outs and pay them with State rates. And much more. Go to you tube and find Rich County Commission. The plan was approved.

10:15 Lyndon Larsen & Jeff Whiteley - Excellence in the Community Proposed Concert as Part of Excellence Concert Series in Utah a non-profit organization. This program would like to bring concerts to the rural areas in Utah and would like to have sponsors.
