Garden City Library - Gone to the Birds!
A fun Saturday morning at the Garden City Library was enjoyed by 23 kids painting bird houses and having Subway sandwiches for lunch! Ken Hansen had made the bird houses. Thanks Ken.
Commissioner's Corner- By Bill Cox
72% of Rich County is Public Lands, controlled by the State and Federal Government, which means the majority of our county land is used for multiple purposes at once (multiple use), including transportation (public access), timber management, watershed restoration, fire protection, grazing, wildlife habitat, mineral leases, and recreation. The use of public lands is under attack, and is a huge issue in our county. This crucial topic must be addressed, balanced, protected, and defended! I was appointed by Deb Haaland, the US Secretary of the Department of Interior, to represent all the counties of Utah on the Bureau of Land Management Resource Advisory Committee. The committee reviews all Utah’s multiple use Resource Management Plans for all our public lands. This gives me the unique opportunity to advocate for the use of public lands within Rich County as well as the rest of the state.
I am also involved in other important public land issues, such as maintaining and keeping roads open to the public, grazing management (i.e. the Three Creeks Allotment Consolidation Project), mineral leasing, timber harvesting, and water rights. There is still much work to be done and I am looking forward to seeing these plans implemented, which will provide our future generations with opportunities to use and enjoy our public lands for years to come.
I will continue to fight for our rights to access and use public land. I would appreciate your support in the Republican Primary Election on June 28th. Please feel free to contact me at 435-757-8248.
2022 Rich High Girls Golf Team 1A Champions
Coach Cody Lundgren for the girls and Coach Kam Jarman for the boys. The boys took 6th place and Noah Parry was in the top 10 scorers!
Lately, championship trophies have become a familiar sight for
the Rich Rebels.
After winning its first title in 2018, Rich went on to add two
more state championship trophies to its cabinet in 2019 and 2021 (no tournament
in 2020 due to COVID-19).
On Wednesday afternoon at Glendale Golf Course, the Rebels added
a fourth.
With a team score of 400 (+112), Rich took home the 1A state
championship once again, becoming just the third girls golf team in state
history to win at least four consecutive state tournaments. The score of 400
was 10 strokes lower than runner-up Monticello and 11 strokes lower than third
place Manila.
Lundgren said he and the team knew how fast the greens could get
at Glendale, so he and the coaches recommended that the girls go a club less
from the fairway — a strategy that seemed to pay off as the team finished with
only 18 bogeys in the round, tied for first as a team.
The Rebels were steady on all phases of the course, shooting a
tournament-best 61 over par on the front nine and 51 over par on the back nine,
good for second best.
Lundgren had plenty to say about his senior class players, who
got to finish off their careers with yet another piece of hardware, saying that
“they were just mentally tough, didn’t let anything shake them and shot what
they needed to.”
Rich senior Natalee Parry shot a team-high 94 for her round,
finishing in fourth place overall in the tournament, while her senior
classmate, Ambria Lutz, finished in sixth place with a score of 97.
Senior Brittney Lamborn shot a personal best 107 in what would
be her final round of high school golf for the Rebels.
“If COVID wasn’t a thing, we’d have five in a row (as a
school),” Lundgren said. “But we’ve got four in a row now and I’m really proud
of these girls for what they’ve accomplished.”

Obituary-Dawson Pugmire
Our precious Dawson
Dean Pugmire was unexpectedly called home early to his Father in Heaven on
Sunday, May 15, 2022.
Dawson was born on
August 11, 2011 to Nate and Jamie Pugmire. He is the youngest of four boys.
Dawson had a special light and was always happy. He had beautiful brown eyes
and the best smile and could make a friend out of anyone. He was always
concerned for others. Dawson was rarely found without a ball in his hand. He
was so active and had such a love for sports, basketball, soccer and football.
He had the best three point shot.
He loved spending time
with his family camping, hiking, fishing or at the lake. He looked up to his
older brothers and followed their love for “sick” sports cars. He loved
spending time with his friends. Dawson is love, and shared it with anyone he
came in contact with. Since he passed, his contagious love has spread through
out this valley and beyond.
Dawson is survived by
his parents, Nate and Jamie, and his older brothers, Hunter, Haden and Easton;
grandparents, Kelvin and Annette Pugmire (Laketown) and Kevin and Debbie
Hirschi (Brigham City); great-grandparents, Ralph and Loretta Wyatt (Mantua);
Aunts and Uncles, Kyle (Lauren) Pugmire, Blake (Cindy) Pugmire, Heather Adams,
Lindsey (Andrew) Haslam, Stacie (McKade) Ashliman, McKell (Jacob) Hardy.
He was preceded in
death by great grandparents, Dean and Noma Lee Pugmire, Ivan and Kae Weston,
and Boyd and Connie Hirschi.
Funeral services were held
on Saturday, May 21, 2022 at 11:00 am at the Wellsville Utah Stake Center, 30 S
Center in Wellsville.
Interment was at the
Wellsville Cemetery.
Condolences and
memories may be shared with the family at White
Pine Funeral Home.
Garden City Town Council Meeting held Thursday, May 19th
The minutes were approved. Quarterly reports were given by
Quinn Dance about the new well timeline. It should be done by the end of
August. The General plan, Parks & trails Plan, master plan and water rights
plan all need more work.
Public works – Riley Argyle reported that the sides of roads
had dust retardant applied. Working on a valve replacement at the water
treatment plant and the continuation of the road on 150 So.
Mark Smoot reported on the Chamber changes. He will be the
new Executive Director as Rose Noorda steps down.
Bear Lake State Park Report by Aaron Roskelly. Seasonal
workers are hard to find. There is an environmental study being done for the
extra arm at the Marina. The new East side park is for day use only until they
get a well drilled.
Public Comments-Bess thanked the City for the dust
retardant. Brand Davis spoke about his experiences with PIDs.
#5 on the agenda were the encumbrances at Buttercup to allow
the property owners the common area land behind their to become their property.
This was passed.
#6. Conditional Use Permit for a duplex to be built on Lot 1
in Bear Lake Meadows. Approved.
#7. Final Plat or buttercup Acres. Approved. The developer
will pipe the lower canal at their property.
#8. Public Hearing.
a.
Discussion on the Planned Infrastructure
District (PID) for Waters edge. Many questions. This idea was recently enacted
by the State Legislature. It grants a developer the right to levy a charge to a
homeowner for their property. This stays on the property. It does have to be
shown on the plat for future buyers that there is a levy from the development.
b.
Ordinance #22-10 updating Management of the
Garden City water system. No comments.
c.
Tentative Budget Review-none of the audience had
read the tentative budget.
#9. PUD Discussion
a.
Final
approval for Phase 5, Waterdance. Approved
b.
Final
plat Approval for phases 1,5, & 6 of Water’s Edge. Approved on condition.
#10 PID Discussion
a.
Water’s
Edge would like to implement a PID for their development. After much discussion and information the
City decided that an ordinance was needed so that when this question for
another PID comes to the City, they will be better prepared with answers.
(Your Editor’s take on PID’s: I think that they are basically an HOA
charge to maintain the facility. The
problem is that a mil levy could be anywhere from 1.5 mils to 15 mils in
perpetuity-correct me someone if you know something else about a PID).
b.
Bear Lake Vista Development was also interested
in having a PID.
