RANDOLPH: Monty Weston VS Ralph Johnson

Monty G. Weston –RANDOLPH SCOOL DISTRICT Candidate

 

As your school board member representing Rich School District #3, I feel it very important to keep my constituents informed as to any policy changes that occur within the district. Their input is important to me and they should know about and make comments about any changes before they happen and not after they are ratified. My top priority is to make education a pleasant experience for the students. This can be partly accomplished through a smooth working environment between administration and personnel. We are a diversified district with students who have a variety of interests. We can and should do a better job of providing a variety of extra- curricular activities to our students. Many have expressed their concerns about bringing back the drill/dance team, and organizing an FFA Chapter. I am also aware that many of our qualifying seniors would like the option of taking seminary for 3 trimesters. These and other interests are all things that I would bring to the table for discussion. I will make myself available to my constituents with an open mind to talk about their concerns. Together we can make a “rich” educational experience for the students in the Rich School District.

Ralph B. Johnson RANDOLPH SCHOOL DISTRICT Candidate

Being a part of the Rich County Board of Education for the past twelve years has been a wonderful opportunity and a special privilege.

Since 1974, I have served in education as a teacher, coach, principal and board member.  If re-elected I will continue to provide encouragement and support to our administrators, teachers and staff.  Together we will do everything possible to meet future challenges and foster an environment in which our young people can learn, grow, and ultimately reach their fullest potential

GARDEN CITYTammy Calder VS Bryce Huefner

BRYCE HUEFNER GARDEN CITY DISTRICT
No To Government Interference

My heart beats with a desire to control my own destiny.  The Constitution of the United States of America gives me the ability to work out my own life's story because of its design to limit government and empower individuals.  I love the freedom to become whatever I choose and if I fail a time or two then at least I had the opportunity to try.   

America is the greatest nation on the earth.  There is no doubt we have problems but when any other nation is compared to America, there isn't even a close second. As a people, we are innovative and industrious.  We have wonderful natural resources and infrastructure.  We are kind and generous, but perhaps our greatest assets are our history, limited government and faith in God. 

The founding fathers were men of faith in God.  They believed in and understood the potential in each individual and sought to preserve men's God given natural rights.  Today we are a faithful people, but too much of our faith is focused on climate change, non discrimination, money, power, the human body, government and the list goes on and on.   Faith, according to Merriam-Webster is a "strong belief or trust in someone or something".    We have faith in and worship at the alter of all these gods when we measure mans worth according to these gods' dogma.

What does this have to do with individuals today?  Across all types of people, political parties, educated or not, and rich or poor; people are loosing faith in the God of our founding fathers and hence are loosing faith in ourselves and others.  This is evident when we as a people ask the government to do something for us that we can do ourselves or should do ourselves. If we accomplish difficult things we can regain hope and faith in ourselves, others and God.  It might be difficult, we may have to wait or do without and we might fail a time or two but it strengthens us.

We must stop asking for free money.  It is dangerous to our freedom.  It doesn't matter what the cause is, whether it be the children, the poor, the aged, the fish, the fire department, the city, the environment, the snail, none of these things are worth our individual freedom. When we get money from someone there are always strings attached and often the strings are little but we all know that when enough strings are bound together it becomes a rope and will strangle us.  We ask our government to strengthen and tighten the rope every time we ask for money. Politicians buy our votes with money and like a drug, it's never enough.

I am running for school board in Garden City.  I want it to be clear where I stand. I say no to government interference in our community no matter how much money the combination gives us individually or as a district. I want the state to get the federal government out of our schools.  The state has the power to say no but do we as a people have the will power to make it happen?

I read the letter sent recently to Governor Herbert by Rich Kendall requesting we stay in common core because if we don't then we are stuck with "no child left behind". We shouldn't be stuck at all. The federal money Utah receives is between 6% and 8% of the k12 budget. Let's get tough and get out. In the letter he lists all school board members in the state who want to continue Common Core. All five of our current Rich County School District board members are listed.  We obviously will give anything away to get money, even in conservative, cowboy Rich County.  Historically cowboys are admired throughout the world. Why?  Because they worked hard, took a chance, were independent, strong and took care of their families and communities.   Cowboys could start with nothing and end with wealth and respect.  That is the heritage of Rich County!  It seems many of us have turned away from that heritage. 

We should be an example of how to get it done with out government intrusion, money or corruption.  We don't need to bow to an alter of money.  Please do not renew the NCLB waiver!  Please get us ENTIRELY out of federal programs and money so that we as a state, as schools, as parents can help our children shape their own destiny. 

My heart beats with the desire for freedom, let's get it done.

TAMMY CALDER GARDEN CITY SCHOOL BOARD, Candidate

Hello residents of Rich County.  For those of you who don't know me, my name is Tammy Calder (Tamalyn E. Calder on the ballot) and I am running for school board member in the Garden City precinct.  

I have served on the Rich School Board for 16 years and would love to continue to serve you and your children for another term.  There is a common theme in the political arena at this time that it is "time for change", and I couldn't agree more.  There is ample room for both change and improvement in many of our governing bodies.  With that in mind, I am asking you to re-elect me at this time because of my stability,experience, and desire to offer our children the best education possible in this ever-changing and challenging world.

I believe strongly in keeping a small-town atmosphere and work ethic in our schools, while still preparing our students to compete in a global work force. I bring a "feminine" view point to our current board that includes four male counterparts, which is important in decision making.  

I do not believe in making political promises to sway your vote.  I will tell you that I will do everything in my power to make the best choices possible in educating our children, spending our tax dollars wisely, keeping a balanced budget, and constantly monitoring policies and procedures while making changes when necessary.  I am more than happy to listen to your concerns and discuss alternatives to current methods of instruction.  

I believe our administration and teaching staff is second to none and that they truly have the best interest of educating our children foremost in their minds and in their hearts.  I have lived in 
this community since 1983 and am proud to call it "home".

 I would appreciate your vote of trust and confidence in serving you with another term on the Rich School Board.  Thank you.

Tammy Calder

Cisco No More

By Bryce Nielson

Today there is a lot on my mind. The State has awarded Brian Hirschi the concession contract for the Bear Lake Marina. It is a long story but after eleven years my butt is out of there. Suffice to say I have a lot of stuff to get rid of including the watercraft, building, docks and fuel system. I have until February. This is not the best time of year to sell marina stuff but I have no choice. As soon as I can face it I will compile a list of items and post a link. It breaks my heart to see this phase of my life come crashing to an end. I will miss everyone, especially the Cisco Kids which kept me young. I really appreciate all of you and your support. I won't be running Cisco's but I will still be ME.

The Unmuddled Mathematician

The Unmuddled Mathematician
By Chris Coray

It’s been an interesting week.  We are in Florida, doing our best to render a little service this week to dear life-long friends.  So we have been thinking about things more important than the usual hum of everyday life.  That is not to say that humor isn’t important and at the end of this article there will be one comment.  But for now you get my Bucket List.  The items are not necessarily ordered.

1-      Remain faithful to my God and try to live as He has instructed,

2-      Take care of my companion in all important ways and tell her more frequently that I love her,

3-      Spend as much time as possible with the 3 jewels in our family we call granddaughters and try to lift them up whenever I can.  During all of my life preparing to be a mathematician and throughout that career I never saw coming the great blessing that would be mine as I get to help those girls in their studies because grandpa can actually do mathematics,

4-      Be useful to others,

5-      Avoid all contention.  This is not easy as it seems many seek it,

6-      Try to be as dependable and competent as the “Muddled Male”,

7-      Never become a burden to others, especially my daughters,

8-      Anonymously surprise someone with a gift or help,

9-      Be a bigger support, both emotionally and physically, to my sister who continues a 15 year intensive effort caring for our mother,

10-   Stay close to my friends,

11-   Try to stay fit

As you read this list notice that it doesn’t contain anything about a big fish or some football game.  So much of my time is spent on stuff not worth a spit.  I must do better.

However, there are some small things that cannot be ignored.  The Mano e Mano gauntlet thrown by the engineer last week needs at least some response.  Did any of you notice that in his article about his “improved” version (over my model) of the IPhone 6+ carrier he has designed he included photos.  These photos are “Selfies” of his own fanny, taken by himself.  His wife did not take those pictures.  He is the only guy I know who at age 79 has taken photos of his own rear end, albeit encased in “Man Pants”, and then published them.  A little guy wearing “Man Pants”.  That’s a good one. I want all to know that I have an actual photo, which I am hereby threatening to use, of the ultimate IPhone carrier, namely a fanny itself.  In this photo, which is not a selfie (or a photo of me), the IPhone is actually implanted in the owner’s fanny, from which it sends a radio signal to the owner’s special new hearing aids, and hence onward to the user’s ears or computer glasses for video stuff. This set up is completely waterproof and recharging occurs while sleeping in bed.  Top that one.  The photo may appear in a future article.  One becomes either a left cheek or a right cheek carrier.

And by the way, I would like to catch a bonefish and a wahoo.

School Board Candidate Notice

Garden City Fire Board

Anita Weston, Reporter

Rich Civic Times

GARDEN CITY, Utah.  October 16, 2014.  The Fire board has been unable to get in touch with the recommended attorney to assist with policies and procedures.  The members of the board suggested that perhaps one of the following three would be interested in working with the Board:  Joe Chambers, Tony Martineau, and Herm Olsen.  Perry Wakefield said he would follow up on this matter and report at the next meeting.

Mike Wahlberg, Fire Chief, hand out a draft of some Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that can be used with the fireboat.  He said he thought most of the basics were included and asked that the board look the document over.  He said that things could be added that would improve the use of the boat.  He included a check list of things that should be kept and noted at the end of each usage of the boat.  This would include who the users were, the reason it was used, what equipment was used, what first aid supplies were used, etc. so that a record would be kept of what was done and what would need to be changed or resupplied.  The Board was asked to go over the document and make any suggestions and comments prior to the next meeting.  That way, the document could be accepted at the next meeting.

The bid is out for the storage shed.  The deadline is October 31, so it will soon be known where the best buy will be. Two individuals have already submitted bids for the 12’ x 16’ building on skids.

Chief Wahlberg reported that he had gone to the City and requested that the Fire Department be given the Garden City Public Safety Grant.  He noted that he had gone to the County Ambulance Association and discovered that he needed to talk with the Commissioners.  He will be on their agenda this next month.  Wahlberg said that he thought that 70 percent of the firefighters needed to at least have EMT basics.  He noted that the best fire department has the best trained and equipped firefighters.  Part of that training should be in the medical area.

The ISO audit had been conducted during this past month.  Wahlberg noted that the department was doing well.  Most of the paperwork records were great.  The pump records were not as available from the last three years as was requested by ISO.  There was some difficulty getting water information from some of the subdivisions.  ISO gave the city an extension in time to try and get additional information from some of the water companies in the various subdivisions.  Results of the audit will be available in about six months.  This audit will be conducted again in about 5 of 6 years.  Weak areas can be worked on over that time so that the results of the next audit will probably be higher than this year.

There are currently two individuals who have applied to fill the board vacancy.  The deadline for applications is October 24.

The Christmas Party is coming up.  A discussion was had and several suggestions made.  This party is a time when appreciation can be shown to the fire fighters.  It was decided that a turkey/ham will be given to each fire fighter along with a fire department gift.  It was noted that Laketown firefighters will be invited along with the Commissioners.  The party will be held at the City Office Lakeview room and will be catered.  Thursday, December 4, was the decided date.  There will be a public hearing prior to the party.

Equipment desired is a gate valve and 150 feet of 6” steamer hose.  Both the valve and hose are expense.  This gives a much strong and faster flow of water which can really assist in putting out fires.  They would really like to get a center gate valve as well.  This would then allow for 2 gate values and actually up to 6 lines coming off from one fire hydrant. The Board requested that a cost estimate be drafted and presented to the Board.

Responses this past month included 3 calls, 2 walk-ins needing medical help and 3 medical calls. 

The question was asked if the department had a gas leak source detector.  Chief Wahlberg noted that anything dealing with gas should be handled by the gas company or a gas professional—it’s not something the department should get involved with.

A request has been made to the Commissioners to allow both Laketown and Garden City to us a section of the County dump that has already been buried and grassed over.  They would like to put down a layer of gravel and use that area for training.  They would like to get 4 conic boxes.  These can be used to simulate breaking inside a home, fighting an actual fire inside, using heavy vehicles for practice with the extractors, car fires, etc.  There are quite a few grants available for training facilities that might be obtained.  Having a location will be extremely helpful.  The department can keep adding onto the facilities as time passes and create a great place for training new volunteers.

The attendance report for board members for the year as follows:

Howard Pope missed 1 meeting

Bryan House missed 1 meeting

Randall Knight missed 1 meeting

Perry Wakefield missed 2 meetings

Short the 5^th board member at the present time

Garden City Water Issues

Anita Weston, Reporter

Rich Civic Times

GARDEN CITY, Utah.  October 9, 2014. The other agenda item was a discussion concerning the proposed Revised Impact Fee Ordinance/Impact Fee Enactment and to adopt, enact, or modify; a revised written Impact Fee Analysis and an Impact Fee Enactment for Culinary Water.  This item is contained in Ordinance #14-16.

It was noted that the State of Utah requires each area that has a culinary water system to have a certain percentage of water in storage in case of an emergency—a fire, a break in a main line, and so forth.  Garden City does not meet this requirement in the summer because the water system is maxed out.  It was suggested that a way to solve this lack of stored water was for the City to buy the Shundahi’s million dollar tank.  This would provide additional water to the City during the summer as well as provide the necessary amount of storage water required by the State.  Mr. Norm Mecham indicated that he would be willing to sell the tank on a 30-year payment period.  He is willing to sell the tank for the amount of money that he has spent to install and get the tank connected to the City’s water system.

The location of the tank makes is possible that if the main line is broken coming from Swan Creek, much of the City would still have enough water for a day or two’s consumption.  In other words, the City would not be completely out of water.

Because of the cost of this tank, there will need to be a change in the water impact fees to help in paying for this water storage tank.  This tank will become a great asset for the City and bring the City up to the State’s water requirements.  An additional water source is already planned for 2020—the digging of a new well to add to the current system.  This will also be a very costly item that the City needs to begin preparing for.

The water impact fees were raised last spring to $4,420.  However, with this additional tank, the fees will have to be raised a second time to $5,670.  Impact fees become effective 90 days after adoption.  A MOU with Mr. Mecham will need to be finalized and financial arrangements made. 

Most of the individuals who attended the public hearing were interested in the gun range and had left the meeting.  There was very little input as a result.  The hearing was closed.

Garden City Council Meeting

Anita Weston, Reporter

Rich Civic Times

GARDEN CITY, Utah.  October 9, 2014. Bear Lake Academy of Martial Arts requested to conduct a martial arts education business at 50 South Bear Lake Blvd. (where the Firehouse Pizza is located).  They would be using the basement of this facility.  The license was granted when the fire marshal has finished his inspection.  A short discussion was held concerning parking at this location.  Everything appeared to be fine.

Ordinance 14-17 dealing with business license policies and procedures was discussed.  It was noted that wording should be changed to give the Council more authority to handle unusual situations.  It was suggested that the wording should be changed to include that the Council may impose certain conditions on a business using their discretion based upon the conditions and circumstances of the request.

Season’s Resorts requested that their encumbered lots be unencumbered.  This allows the company to begin to develop this area if they so desire.  This was approved by the Council.

A discussion of a new encumbrance/Covenant to run with the land procedure was approved.  Since the encumbrance/covenant was established for vacant lot fees within the City only, it was noted that it should not be registered with the County.  The City needs to be notified 30 days prior to the request being made to encumber or unencumber adjoining lots.

When sales of different lots are made, the responsibility of letting the City know rests with the seller of the property.  A penalty of a minimum of $120 plus $10 per month will be assessed after the first year of such a sale if notification is not made to the City.

UDOT has proposed to purchase a small piece of land for the US 89 Third West turn lane going south.  The cost of the property is $2,175.  A motion was made and passed to approve the sale of this land.

The City meeting was closed and the public hearing was held concerning the gun range and the water impact fees.

The City Meeting was resumed and the following actions were taken:

The gun range item will be pursued and more information will be obtained.   The new impact fees were discussed by the Council.  It was finally determined that the final agreement with Mr. Mecham will be brought back to the Council to be looked over prior to signing.  The motion was made and approved to impose the new impact fees that were suggested in the public hearing.  All council members voted for this action except Darrin Pugmire.  He voted no and stated that he thought a less expensive solution could have been found.

Mike Wahlberg, Garden City Fire Chief, appeared before the Council.  He was unable to obtain a MOU from the County Ambulance EMT Association.  He noted that this organization is funded by the County. They, apparently, do not have the needed funds to provide a $3,000 grant. Wahlberg, however, requested that the City give their emergency grant to the Fire Department this year so that they could get started training more EMTs.  The City indicated that they didn’t think that grant should go to the Fire Department each year.  It is something that several organizations may apply for and obtain.  The Fire Chief indicated that he would go to the County to see if they would agree to reimburse these funds after the completion of the training of individuals becoming EMTs.  He will report back to the City.

It was decided that the City Employee Christmas Party will be held on January 9, 2015.  The City Community Christmas Party will be held December 6, 2014. 

It was determined that 5 commercial picnic tables will be purchased for Heritage Park.  They cost approximately $1,000 each.

The City Council will contribute the usual $200 towards the Halloween Bash held each year at the KOA.

Bess Huefner reported that the Skating Rink should be set up around the 24^th of November.  She noted that the Christmas lights should be hung soon before it gets to cold and wintery.

Bruce Warner asked what type of impact fee should be assessed for the log cabins that are being built by Mr. Webb just north of Jim Stone’s store in Pickleville.  He was told that Mr. Webb should be charged ¾ of the full fee for each cabin.

Warner and the Mayor have been in touch with Chris Coray concerning annexation of Sweetwater Hill into Garden City.  Additional conversations have been set up to discuss this issue further.

Waarner also reported that he had talked with Mike Madsen.   Madsen had an agreement with the City to build a water line north from Swan Creek to get water to the subdivision that he built.  He has come to the City and would like to be reimbursed for the water line construction costs.  The agreement was for five years and cost $100,000.  The Council said they would think about this matter.

Jim Christensen had problems with his water bill of $23,995.  It was noted that $9,000 was the cost and that $14,000 was overages.  The City said they would look into the matter and make some adjustments if justified.

Chuck Stocking noted that the pool is doing well.  One wall, however, needs to be tiled or recovered with cement board or something that handles steam and humidity.  He is also still working on a place to store the pool chemicals.

There is a possibility that a grant could be obtained for the kiosk.   There is still some money owed for the kiosk.  The suggestion was made that perhaps those businesses advertising there could pay a small monthly fee to keep it current and viable.  The ads need to be put in such an order that the same one isn’t always first.  It was thought that perhaps they could be cycled through so none are given more attention than any others.  It was also suggested also that the type of computer and software that is in the kiosk be made available in different locations within the City.

Garden City Public Works Report

Anita Weston, Reporter

Rich Civic Times

GARDEN CITY, Utah. October 9, 2014.  Riley Argyle reported that concrete is currently being poured at Heritage Park.  The City Park will need some power poles pulled down, some trees need to come down and a fire hydrant needs to be moved before the additional parking can be added there.

The City has signed a lease for a new backhoe.  It is here and is currently being used.  The meters for the individuals living on the east side of Bear Lake Boulevard south of 150 South have not been metered for their water usage.  These meters have not yet been installed but will be as work on 150 South progresses.  The reason meters have not been put in place is there are no maps or knowledge of where any of the various connections are located.  As work progresses in that area, however, the connections will be found. 

KOA has donated a lot of dirt that can be used up at Heritage Park.  This dirt will be used to slope the outside of the fish pond so grass can be planted there.

Riley has been working with Zan Murray who already covered most of the other items that the City is currently working on.

Garden City Engineer Report

Anita Weston, Reporter

Rich Civic Times

GARDEN CITY, October 9, 2014.  Zan Murray, the City Engineer, reported that 75 North and 350 South had all been paved and striped.  The bid for 150 South is ready to go.  The boardwalk from 350 South is being considered.  There is some money left that can be used for that project.  The wetlands have been cleared by Danny White; and if composite materials are used for the boardwalk, it would be quite maintenance free. 

There have been some problems with Heritage Park.  It will not be completed within the bid amount.  The slope of the outside of the pond is much too steep to maintain.  The slope must be changed so that grass can be planted there and kept mowed.

Parking on 150 South is a much larger project and will take quite a bit longer to finish up.  The workers for the Special Service District will need to move one of their stations to the East.  It is currently too close to the road.  Norm Mecham will need to get a water line extension in place before it can be paved.  Two fire hydrants and a Quonset hut will have to be moved.  Electrical conduits will also need to be installed.  It might be a good idea to actually bid out a utility package.  Then, when the trenches settle, more work can be done.  If much is to be done at this location this fall, contractors will need to move quickly.

Parking in the City Park will be handled by UDOT.  It was also noted that the culverts to be put under the road on 300 West should probably also be put out for bids.

The water impact fee will be discussed later in the public hearing and City Meeting because changes are expected there.  There was a water agreement with Norm Mecham concerning the Shundahi water tank. It should be looked over carefully and perhaps given to the attorney to make sure everything is covered.  There will be a meeting held in November concerning the Elk’s Ridge water tank.

A change of use in water rights in Swan Creek through the Swan Creek Irrigation company is moving forward.  The City wells in use are considered points of diversion.  A MOU concerning them will be put in place.  Meters will be placed on the wells so that the City does not use more water than they have rights for.  A new well will be needed by the year 2020 and needs to begin to be considered at the present time.

Three phase power for the Heritage Park will cost about $40,000.  Conduit costs about ten or more a linear foot if the power is to be put underground.  The electrical company will probably connect through the Buttercup area.  This will require an easement or a right-of-way.  Wells are not generally considered as water storage.

Garden City Updates

Anita Weston, Reporter

Rich Civic Times

GARDEN CITY, Utah.  October 9, 2014. Gary Cox, Garden City Administrator reviewed work done on 350 South and 75 North.  He also noted that 150 South will go out to bid in the next couple of weeks.  The culverts for 300 West have gone out to bid.

Elk’s Ridge easements are moving slowly.  The next meeting will be held in November.  Water impact fees and the Shundahai tank are the reasons for the public hearing.  Action will be taken on these items after the Public hearing has ended.

A cage for runaway dogs has been purchased.  Currently the camping ordinance and the sign ordinance are under review. Enforcement is always difficult, especially when the ordinances are not written clearly.

Garden City Park and Boardwalk parking expansion has gone out to bid.  The TRT grant application for the Heritage Park playground has been submitted.  The sidewalk and improvements around the Heritage Park pond are well worth a trip to see how work is progressing there.  The privacy fence for the dumpsters at Heritage Park is nearing completion.

The CIB grant application has been turned in for Beach Improvement and Planning money.  Envirocentric Design has completed the field work for the wetland delineation and Bio-West is completing the mapping of the ditches at this time so all will be ready before winter.

Cox noted that he has been working with local businesses and individuals in the community in order to better promote the advantages of our area when it comes to the benefits of tourism in Garden City.  Currently he is recruiting customers for the Christmas Holiday and during the Sundance Film Festival.  He noted that researching the possible benefits of the shuttle service and how it can benefit the community is moving forward.  Looking into and obtaining grants that can help pay for entertainment at Raspberry Days along with other artistic and performance possibilities are also being checked out.

Joey Stocking is the president of the Chamber of Commerce in the area.  He is writing a grant to help add more information, maps, and so forth to the kiosk as well as getting similar information that is at the kiosk into several of the local businesses.  The grant will require a match from the City.

Garden City Building Inspector Report

Anita Weston, Reporter

Rich Civic Times

GARDEN CITY, Utah.  October 9, 2014.  George Peart, Building Inspector, reported that there is a million dollar grant that can be applied for every year.  It does require a full match.  It allows cities like Garden City to develop a secondary water system.  The culinary water that would be saved by the City in developing a secondary system would make this grant worth looking into.

Peart noted that building is slowing down, especially in the City itself.  There are three homes in Eagle Feather, two being built in Bridgerland, and one in Cheramoya.  There are a couple of other homes being worked on in town as well.

He noted that he had attended the Planning Commission meeting.  He told them there is no zone for trailers.  Something needs to be done to take care of this lack.  He had several problems this past summer with trailers, and the City needs to give some direction to this issue.  He requested that the City be informed when subdivisions change their CC&Rs.  This can create problems when changes have been made and no one outside the subdivision is aware of the changes.
