Obituary-Arlo Briscoe Price

 Our beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great-grandfather passed away on September 11, 2024, at his home in Logan, Utah completing his exemplary earthly life of ninety years.

Arlo Briscoe Price was born on March 1, 1934, in Paris, Idaho to Clifford and Clea Price. He didn’t waste any time getting to work. As a young boy, he spent his summers working on the family dry farm. By the time he was eight years old, he was driving the truck and at ten, he was driving a diesel cat. If there was work to be done, he got it done. He knew the value of hard work. His tireless work ethic was a blessing to his family.

Arlo graduated from Fielding High School in the spring of 1952 and shortly after, married Mattie Valoy Hildt on August 13, 1952, in the Idaho Falls Temple. They moved to Moscow, Idaho for him to pursue a degree in engineering. Two years later, Arlo accepted an invitation to work with his father-in-law in the raspberry fields of Bear Lake. Arlo and Mattie returned to the beautiful Bear Lake valley where they raised their two sons.

Over the next forty years, Arlo worked and served in the Bear Lake community. He served on the Garden City Town Council. He served on the Rich County School Board for twenty years. He made hundreds of trips up the T.V. hill to maintain the television translators for Garden City, Laketown, and Star Valley.

Arlo was genuine and down to earth. He had a cheerful sense of humor and loved to joke and tease. He just made life fun. The billy goat song, the wide mouthed frog, and thistle hair will be remembered for generations. He approached every day with optimism. He judged no one and served everyone.

Arlo loved his family fiercely. He was not a man of many words. His love for his family was demonstrated through his actions. He built shelves for newlyweds, bought seashells, and shared his last piece of candy. He fixed cars and cleared driveways. To him, love is action. This was most apparent in the way he loved and served his wife Mattie. For 72 years, he cared for and provided for her. He was there for whatever she needed and wanted to the smallest detail.

Arlo was a man of great faith. He was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints and served faithfully in many callings. He loved and sustained the prophet. Arlo had a strong testimony of our Heavenly Father’s Plan of Salvation. His faith in Jesus Christ and trust in the promise of eternal families is a comfort to those he leaves behind. He is survived by his beloved wife Mattie; two sons, Ed (Tina) and Mark; six grandchildren; 27 great-grandchildren; and 12 great-great-grandchildren.

We can only imagine the reunion he will have with his parents; seven siblings; in-laws Lavoy and Jennie Hildt; and his daughter-in-law Debbie.

We look forward to seeing his genuine, loving smile again.

There will be a private family funeral on Wednesday, September 18, 2024. Interment will be at the Garden City Cemetery.

Just Notes

The hills are showing their  beautiful reds and the lake is Caribbean blue. What a beautiful place to live!

 I called the Utah Parks to find out some information about the Marina Expansion. YES, the money is still there. BUT, there have been problems in getting all of the approvals to work on the lake bottom. The start dates will now depend on the weather. Perhaps by spring we will see the work started.

Garden City Library Bookclub

 I made a mistake last month in describing a different book than the one the group was reading. It was, "The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper", a delightful book. The next book is, "The Alice Network". The Book Club will review it next Wed. the 18th.

I just finished "The Book Woman's Daughter". This book tells the story of a family from Kentucky with a blood problem that turns their body parts blue. Though a novel, this book had historical information that I found fascinating. I hope you will try it.

Rich County Commission Meeting Sept. 4, 2024

 Marlow Stevens, owner of Bluewater Charters, requested a business license. The commissioners approved his request.

Brian Willmore, sheriff's deputy, discussed the possibility of having a School Resource Officer being certified to serve the County Sheriff's Dept. during the summer months. The State of UT passed a bill requiring all school districts to formulate a plan for resource officers. They will be funded for one year on a trial basis. He also compared the salaries from several departments around the State of UT. Rich County was one of the lowest in pay. The commissioners were willing to study the need to increase the pay for our officers and to consider a resource officer/deputy. (For the complete bill look for it at the end of the newsletter).

Mitch Poulson from the Bear Lake Regional Commission represented the Planning and Zoning department for Rich County for a plat amendment on  SWH. The owner had the plat surveyed and found that his home was partially on another person's land so he needed to buy the amount of land needed and have the amendment recorded. The commissioners approved the request. 

Mitch also said that Rocky Mountain Power has requested a utility survey be done on all properties that are sold and for that identification to be on all plats. The commissioners approved this request.

The Alternative Energy Ordinance has been updated for wind farms, towers and solar farms to include conditional use permits with the application form. There are more requirements to do with parking, wildlife protection areas, access roads, and fire prevention corridors. The commissioners approved the changes.

The Commissioners were invited to breakfast to celebrate the 9/11 PROJECT sponsored by the Taylor Foundation in honor Mayor Brent Taylor who was killed in Afghanistan on his 4th mission. The project includes pictures of 9/11 and people's stories and will be held September 11th - 14th at the Hansen Family Sports Complex 220 E 2850 N, North Logan, UT 84341

Free and open to the public from 9am - 9pm.
