Eighteen Wheeler Philosophy
Was it worth it?
By Mel Hanson, The Eighteen Wheeler Philosopher
For some...possibly no? For some...a grateful and thankful yes.
Ever since it was completed in 1982...the Vietnam War Memorial...became the Monument I wanted to see the most if I ever had the opportunity. Last week that opportunity became a reality. It’s a beautiful monument and humbling to see. Definitely a sacred place of honor and sacrifice.
My son, Jacob, and I made our way from the Lincoln Memorial down the pathway to the two stands that hold the books of the names on the memorial panels.
Lilo Elmer Aldous (Sonny), Sept. 15, 1968, is found on panel 44W, line 60
Charles Floyd Kennedy, Oct. 17, 1967, is found on panel 28E, line 26
Charles Floyd Kennedy is from my hometown, Garden City, Ut. He’s the son of Clyde and Ilene Kennedy, brother to Sue Lutz and Gaylene Wamsley. I don’t remember SGT Kennedy ...but his oldest son, Monty Floyd Kennedy, and I are the same age, best friends until he moved from home...we’re still best of friends even though we haven’t seen each other in years. Monty was only 6 yrs old when his Dad died. I can’t imagine what it was like for him to grow up without his father. My parents and brother, Randall, thought highly of SGT Kennedy. He’s laid to rest here at home.
I’ve posted quite a few times about Sonny. He will always be remembered as my big brother! For he truly was!
As Jacob and I neared panel 44W, line 60, a shorter panel as it’s out near to the end of the west wing of the monument, my heart started to beat a little harder and faster, emotions started welling up inside me. When we stood in front of the panel...counted down 6 stars (10 lines in between stars) I saw Sonny’s name close to the bottom of the panel. I stood and looked at it for a few seconds, then knelt down and....touched his name. With my son's big hand on my shoulder... I tried to blink away the tears...and breathe past the huge lump in my throat, had an extremely hard time catching my breath as memories of Sonny ran through my mind. I stayed knelt there for awhile until my son hooked his powerful hand under my arm and helped his ol Dad to his feet...and stood in silence by my side until I could talk.
There was a female park ranger there rubbing names off the Wall onto paper. Jacob asked her for a couple of pieces of paper and a marker so we could do the same. She very politely gave us what we needed and Jacob rubbed off Sonny’s name onto the paper.
Gwenda and my daughters came and we went to panel 28E, line 26 and Memmy rubbed off SGT Kennedy’s name to paper. Again a tear fell from my eye as I thought about my friend Monty losing his father at such an early age for both of them. He’s not seen his Dad for over 51 yrs!!
I was amazed at the number of Vietnamese people there atThe Wall. And the majority of them had a piece of paper and a marker rubbing off the name of a fallen soldier. Most had tears in their eyes as they were doing this.
I couldn’t but help think to myself that since they were here in the USA, that perhaps that particular soldier helped them gain, and died for, their opportunity/freedom to be there remembering and honoring them at The Wall.
Most Americans, the history scholars, and books say, Americans lost the Vietnam War. I’ve never believed that. And I bet you’d have a hard time telling those Vietnamese people, with tears in their eyes, remembering those soldiers whose names they were rubbing off onto paper enjoying the Freedom to do so, the same thing!
As we were leaving the monument I wanted to take another look at Sonny’s name. An older gentleman holding a Vietnam War Vet hat in his hand was standing looking at the panel also, his wife was softly crying and his eyes were tearing as well. I asked him if he’d served in Vietnam. He said yes, and pointed to...then touched...two of his buddies names that he served with, both killed the same day, 17 days from going back home! I shook his hand and thanked him for his service. I told him the nation will never give the Korean and Vietnam Vets their just dues.
With a lump in his throat, his reply was "God will.”

Rich Civic Times

No Smoking In City Parks

Rich Civic Times
Farrin Wiese from the Bear River Health Department came to give a presentation to the City Council concerning a policy prohibiting tobacco and e-cigarette use at the Garden City Park and Heritage Park. He suggested that the City adopt a smoke-free ordinance. The City needs to be sure to include electric cigarettes because they are as harmful as regular cigarettes.
Wiese noted that most of the cities and towns in Box Elder and Cache Valley have such an ordinance in place. Wiese said that he had several sample ordinances the City could use as a pattern. He offered to help get this ordinance in place in any way he could.
The Council asked who would regulate and make sure that this ordinance was followed. Wiese said that the County Sheriff’s office would in charge of making sure the people were following this ordinance.
Mayor Leonhardt said the City would be interested in getting the ordinance in place and asked for some sample ordinances that Wiese had volunteered to share. Wiese said he would get the samples to the Council in a day or two. He also has plenty of signs he would be more than happy to give to the City.
The fines for breaking this ordinance is $25 after the first warning. The City will need to check with the County Law Enforcement Department to gain their support.
The City Board noted that they will move forward on this item as quickly as possible.
New Businesses & Short Term Rentals
Anita Weston, Reporter
Rich Civic Times
GARDEN CITY, Utah. June 13, 2018. Jake’s Place, located at 35 South Bear Lake Blvd., has changed ownership. The new owner is Joe Weeks. With this change in ownership, a new business license needs to be obtained. The motion was made and passed to allow the new license to be granted as soon as a new Utah sales tax number has been given to the City.
The Farm at Bear Lake, L.L.C., requested a business license to conduct a property short-term rental business. Lynzie Eborn, located at 960 South Snow Meadows, will be the manager for this business. The request was approved with the stipulation that the Utah State Sales Tax Number be given to the City.
Randall and Lisa Buchmiller are the owners of a home at 424 West Buttercup Lane. They asked for a short-term rental license. RaShele Cook is the emergency contact person. The motion was made and approved to grant this license.
The home located at 930 Yacht Drive that is owned by Dr. James and Lynne Kelly. They would like to have this house rented as a short-term rental and asked to be given a short-term rental license. The property management company is Bear Lake Condo Rentals. A motion was made and approved to grant this license.
Shane and Stacey Roylance have a home at 621 South Maple Drive and asked the City to give them a short-term rental license for this home. Kerry Wayman is the emergency contact person. A motion was made and approved to grant this license.
There is a condo #112 in Ideal Beach located at 2176 South Bear Lake Blvd. The condo owners have requested a short-term rental license for this condo. The motion was made and approved with the stipulation that the telephone number and the name of a contact person need to be given to the City.
Travis and Lynzie Eborn have a home located at 960 South Snow Meadows. They have asked that they be given a short-term rental license for this home. Jessie Calder is the emergency contact person. The motion was made and approved to give this couple the requested license.
Updated Ordinances
Anita Weston, Reporter
Rich Civic Times
GARDEN CITY, Utah. June 13, 2018. A discussion was held regarding Ordinance, Chapter 12-200, about animal control. The City currently has such an ordinance. The Council discussed whether this ordinance should be moved to the Public Nuisance section of the Ordinances or remain where it is. No action was taken.
Resolution #R18-04 is the fee schedule for infractions of the City Ordinances. This resolution will update the code infraction fee schedule. Currently, short-term rentals have an occupancy number given to them when their home is inspected for a short-term rental license. However, sometimes when a short-term rental home is advertised, a higher occupancy number is used in the advertisement. Also, each short-term rental must have a contact person available within 15 minutes from that location. Many short-term rental owners have failed to provide this contact person. Both infractions will be ticketed, and a fee of $250 will be imposed for either of these items. The motion was made and passed to accept this Resolution.
Resolution #R18-05 is a resolution to update Table 2, which sets the fixture unit calculations. A motion was made and passed to allow for the updating of Table 2.
Resolution #R18-06 is a Public Entity Resolution from the Office of the State Treasurer regarding the PTIF accounts for Garden City. The motion was made and passed to follow this Resolution.
Resolution #R18-07 is a resolution to update water rates for meters or line sizes larger than ¾”. A discussion was held. It was determined that some additional work on this item is needed. Further research will be done, and this item will come back to the Board when completed.
Ordinance #18-10 is an ordinance updating the building permit and certificate of occupancy requirements for short-term rentals. The wording was changed so that instead of using a year date to be followed in building requirements, it was decided to use the phrase, “current international code requirements”. This wording will keep the ordinance updated and clear and doesn’t require an update each time building requirements are changed. The motion was made and passed.
Ordinance #18-14 is an ordinance updating the sign regulation for short-term rentals. After some discussion, it was decided that people can name their home and place this name where they desire. Also, their address would also be appropriate. This would not be considered advertising.
Ordinance #18-15 is an ordinance updating the short-term rental requirements. It was determined that a gravel driveway for the short-term rentals is okay. Occupancy is determined by the amount of square footage in the home less the bathrooms and kitchen. One hundred square feet for each person is the current figure. It has been assumed in the past that parking for the number of people was determined by assuming five people per car. However, since tourists are bringing more trailers, boats, side-by-sides, etc., the suggestion was made that only four people per car will be used. Those who already have the short-term rental business will, of course, be grandfathered in. However, when any properties change ownership, the new requirements will be put in place. This will require a few more parking spots for some of the short-term rental homes. The motion was made and approved to the above changes.
Garden City Council Reports
Anita Weston, Reporter
Rich Civic Times
GARDEN CITY, Utah. June 13, 2018. Darrin Pugmire, Councilman, reported that he has been working on the new road from Buttercup to Kimball Lane. This part of the road is almost all taken care of as far as to where the road will be and who owns the properties and is willing to work with the City. He is also working to get the road from Kimball Lane to the Golf Course. He estimated that the latter road will be useable in about five years. He has also been working on this portion of the road which will need a survey and to be carefully marked.
Pugmire noted that he wants to make sure where the exact road will go. That needs to be done and the required ground deeded to the City so that the City will be able to move forward when they get the money to work on this project.
Howard Pope reported that he had ridden on the local trails with the group to make sure he knew where the trails were and what they were like. He noted that there is a big opportunity to help with safety factors. It would be great if gravel could be placed in some areas to alleviate the mud problem. Most of the roads fall into the Class B category, which means gravel and mud roads. Many areas are just rights-of-way. There is still a lot of private property that people are going over where permission hasn’t been obtained from the owners.
Pope noted that above Bridgerland further up is pretty rough. He noted that people need to be encouraged to stay on the path. Currently, Mitch Poulsen, Bear Lake Regional Commission, is working to get some help from the State Parks and other government agencies to make the trails successful. People also need to be encouraged to respect the land.
Pope also reported that the swimming pool is up and running. The pool was drained, cleaned with acid and well-scrubbed. He was given permission to sign checks for some items needed by the pool. He hoped that next year the pool will be painted.
Ken Hansen reported the project he is working on is getting Third West paved. The State was to begin the work on Monday, the 18th. The Contractor has been given 40 days to complete that section of highway.
The rummage sale sponsored by the library is scheduled for June 29 and 30. The Library Board of Directors is hoping to make enough money to buy a new copy machine.
There were about 350 people who came into the library in May. The board would like to add an additional eight hours to the time that the library is open. That would mean the librarian would put in four more hours and the assistant librarian would also work four more hours a week.
They would like these additional hours during the summer when there are so many more people who do use the library.
Pat Argyle noted that the sprinkling system for Heritage Park is being installed. There are four new trees that were moved from the Fireboard building property to Heritage Park. She said that new flags are needed this year.
Argyle said that she is looking into getting an electronic board that will display 30-second advertisements for each business who will pay $150 to do so. She noted that the locals will get the first opportunity to participate in this advertising opportunity.
The Mayor, Mike Leonhardt, noted that he hoped the carnival would be able to move to a different location. There have been a lot of townspeople who have asked that it be moved.
The State has given Garden City some money to study the crosswalks in town. There currently aren’t any, but the suggestion was made to make one to the post office across Logan Road, by LaBeau’s and another next to Darrin Pugmire’s shop. Someone else suggested that a crosswalk across to Cody’s might also be a good place. The speed limit is Garden City is also under discussion. Currently, the speed limit is 40 MPH. The more foot traffic we have, the better chance the City has to get these items.
There is going to be a legislative retreat here in Garden City just before Raspberry Days. The Mayor is looking forward to that activity and hopes that it will go well.

Pickleville Philosophy
Judging
By Jim Stone, The Pickleville Philosopher
Well, I’ve been working on another book, its name is Success with No Money. Below the headline, it reads "Never Judge a Book by Its Cover."
When my sister Susie and I were just kids, mom would take us to a fun park in the winter to go swimming and play at the natural hot springs, Lava Hot Springs, in south east IIdaho. I still go there every year. There is something about that natural hot water that just heals a lot of things that ail you. It seems to just do you good.
My sister and I were little kids and we watched an older gentleman siting on a bench all alone. Susie and I were swimming and having a blast . We kept going from the hot pool to the cold pool and kept passing by this man. He just looked so sad . Susie and I thought he was like a homeless man. We only had a few dollars between us and we were lucky to have such a wonderful mom that she could afford to take us to Lava for the day.
Anyways we left and went to spend our combined money and got him a bowl of hot soup and some snacks.
When we got back he was still there. We kinda judged him and were just trying to help him with what we had to help with. We introduced ourselves to him and gave him the nice things we had for him. He was such a kind man; he was probably in his mid-80s. I can’t remember his name but I bet my awesome sister does. Anyways me and Susie had kinda judged this man buy how we perceived him.
A few months later we got a big package each in the mail. I opened mine and it was a handmade porcelain chess set it was all hand made even the chess board. My sister opened her box and it was a handmade porcelain doll. So come to find out that old man was a multi- millionaire. I think he was from Germany but had travelled to sit in the hot water at Lava Hot Springs, Idaho. I was so young at that point in my life, but I learned a huge lesson; don’t ever judge a book or a person or pet buy its cover.
To me when you have success with no money it comes back ten times or a hundred times. I’m kinda stoked up to get this story done. If any of you guys have a story about success with not much money send it to me we could do a nice story and put it in the little book.

Fire Station Expanding
Kathie B. Anderson, Reporter
Rich Civic Times
GARDEN CITY, Utah. June 6, 2018. A Lease/Purchase Agreement with Zion’s Bank for a garage addition to the fire station was approved, subject to review by the Fire District’s attorney. With only a few minor corrections, an engineering plan for the additional bay on the existing building was approved by the Board. An invitation for bids for the construction of the addition has been issued. Construction will begin next month.
A Fire Inspection Fee increase was discussed. Because of all the new construction in and around Garden City, the fee may need to be increased. After public notice and a public hearing, the Fire Board will consider a $10.00 fire inspection fee increase from $20.00 to $30.00.
Garden City Fire Chief Mike Wahlberg has made a preliminary walk-thru inspection of the new carnival on Bear Lake Blvd. The vendor has a transit license from Garden City for the next three years.
A motion to create a $3,500 Emergency Equipment Fund, was approved unanimously by the Fire Board. The engine in one of the fire trucks needs to be replaced. All other vehicles and equipment are in good condition.
During Raspberry Days, the Fire Department will host the annual pancake breakfast at the Garden City Park, beginning at 8:00 a.m. The breakfast is a fundraiser for the Fire Department’s boat motors. Any extra money received will go into the Fire Department’s general fund.
Because of all the new construction here, there is a framer shortage. Because of the shortage, Chief Wahlberg asked that he and some of his family members be allowed to work on the fire station addition project. Chief Wahlberg will complete his regular duties as Fire Chief, (40 hours), but will separate his “extra work” as the General Contractor for the building project. He will work on the construction after normal work hours or use his vacation time. He will be compensated for his “extra work” at a base rate. Board Chairman Randall Knight felt it was commendable of Chief Wahlberg to take on this project, as long as Chief Wahlberg is able to do his normal Fire Chief duties. A motion to approve Chief Wahlberg’s proposal was passed unanimously by the Fire Board.
There were two marine responses (1 death), one semi-truck fire, one fire alarm, and 17 fire inspections.

Rich School Board Meeting

RANDOLPH, Utah. June 19, 2018. Superintendent Dale Lamborne announced that Brian Thomson resigned as the assistant boy's basketball coach and that Louie Stewart will be the new assistant boy’s basketball coach, Oliver Peart will be the assistant wrestling coach, and Jordan McKee will be the new assistant football coach.
The School Board held a lengthy discussion regarding employing a School Resource Officer. Several ideas and suggestions were brought up, but nothing has been decided. It was determined that the person or persons hired should be well trained. It was also noted that a qualified individual is needed, who should consistently be utilized by the police and schools. Bryce Huefner suggested that since one resource officer was not enough for the two schools that Sheriff’s deputies take lunch at the schools on a rotating basis and that other officers from DWR and State Parks also get to know the kids in the schools.
The Naylor Wentworth Engineering Firm, and Hughes General Contractors presented the final architectural drafts and building costs for the new North Rich School auxiliary gym addition, which were approved by the School Board.
Weston Taylor reported on a recent Mindfulness Coalition meeting. This program has received a great deal of positive feedback from the community. Taylor emphasized the importance of this grass roots project involving the entire Rich County community. The main objectives of this program are to improve mental and emotional health. Survival (proper behaviors), empathy, self-comparison, and resilience are the main focus of this program. The next scheduled Coalition meeting is scheduled on August 15, 2018. More information will be forthcoming concerning Coalition meetings.
Principal Kip Motta attended a national principal’s meeting. He was proud to announce that the Rich County School District is the only school district in the country that has concurrent and technical education classes. Our students have this valuable resource because of the Bridgerland Technical College and USU.
Superintendent Dale Lambourne discussed a meeting of the Superintendent’s Joint Legislation Committee. Out of one hundred fifty bills that impact education and educators, sixty were passed by the Utah Legislature. The Superintendents strongly believe that, if issues relating to educators are handled at the local school district community level, it should not be necessary for the Legislature to consider a bill for every education issue.
Congratulations were extended to Stacey McKina, Zoe Dean, Emalee Willis, Hannah Coburn, Lindsay Barker, and Taya Petersen, who were the Utah 1-A Girls State Champions in team golf. Nick Jarman was the individual State Champion in boys golf, and Kinnen Clark took first place in two track events, long and high jump.
