Tanya Mckinnon Bartlett 1974 - 2017
Tanya Lynn Mckinnon Bartlett, 42, of Mountain Green, Utah. Passed On September 13, 2017, after battling a rare form of cancer, Tanya Lynn McKinnon Bartlett passed away peacefully, surrounded by family and in the arms of her beloved husband Matthew Bartlett.Tanya was born on September 18, 1974 in Logan, Utah to Ross and Debra (Dickerson) McKinnon of Randolph, Utah. Tanya married her eternal companion, Matthew Bartlett, in the Salt Lake Temple on June 8, 2002. The couple welcomed their son, Bridger, into their home on July 21, 2012.
Tanya's vibrant spirit and keen intellect allowed her to achieve anything she put her mind to. In 1993, Tanya graduated as valedictorian from Rich High School. While attending Utah State University in 1995, Tanya was crowned Miss Rodeo Utah and later won the 1996 Miss Rodeo America Pageant in Las Vegas, Nevada. She spent the next year traveling the country representing the sport of rodeo.
She graduated Cum Laude from Utah State University in 1998 with a degree in Bio-Veterinary Medicine. In 2002, Tanya received her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Colorado State University. She returned home to practice veterinary medicine and in 2005 she opened her own practice, Equine Edge. Despite everything else she had achieved, Tanya frequently expressed her opinion that all of her other accomplishments were dwarfed by the honor of being Bridger's "momma."
Tanya is survived by her husband, Matthew; her son, Bridger; her parents, Ross and Debra (Dickerson) McKinnon; and numerous cousins, aunts and uncles with whom she was close.
Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. at the LDS Stake Center, 4270 Cottonwood Canyon Road, Mountain Green, Utah.

Garden City Panning Commision
Anita Weston, Reporter
Rich Civic Times
GARDEN CITY, Utah. September 6, 2017. Ryan Blake requested that his tiny home be allowed to remain on the lot that he had purchased in Buttercup. At the time Blake brought this small RV (170 Square Feet of living space) into Buttercup, there were no ordinances dealing with this type of structure. The main problem in allowing this small home to be occupied is that it requires an inspection by the residential building inspector. Because this RV was built away from the area without being inspected as it was being built makes it almost impossible to be inspected now that it is finished.
Most small homes are built by a business that does all of the inspections throughout the building procedure. A stamp of approval and a certificate is given to people who buy such homes showing that all standards have been followed. Blake, however, built this RV on his own without any inspection work being done. Now, there is no way to inspect the plumbing, the electrical work, structural standards, foundation requirements, and so forth, without tearing out several areas of the RV. The home has to meet state and national requirements prior to be inhabited.
Blake has requested an application for a building permit. He will need to get whatever inspections are required prior to getting his permit. The permit issues will need to be taken to the City instead of the Planning Commission for resolution of this problem.
There is a new subdivision, Bear Lake Resort, to be built by Mark Smoot and Lance Anderson. It will be located along 200 North in Garden City. Smoot has made several changes to the original plan that he explained to the Commission giving them the reasons for the changes that had been made.
Smoot would like to get final plat approval for an Adventure Center, an employee housing building, and a steel storage shed. The Adventure Center will be just north of Merlin’s Drive Inn.
The employee housing and storage shed will be built up behind Smoot’s Maintenance and Repair Station on 200 North. The storage shed will be of steel along with a steel roof. It will be close to the Maintenance and Repair Building. The employee housing will be located on the west property line with access on Berry Blossom Road. This building will have 10 dorm rooms—five going down each side. There will also be two queen suits. Each dorm room will house two people, and there will be couples in the queen suits making a total of 24 people who can be housed in this facility. The siding will be vinyl, and the height of the building is about 17 feet.
The public hearing was closed and the regular Planning Commission Meeting was called to order.
Since Smoot and Anderson were already at the table, the Bear Lake Resort project was introduced first. Smooth was asked to determine where the utilities on Berry Blossom Road are currently located. The Commission wanted to make sure there would be no utility issues during the construction of the new facilities
The motion was made and passed that final approval of phase one for the Bear Lake Resort be allowed to be built with the condition that the plat be updated to show where the above discussed utilities are shown on the plat.
A motion was made and also passed that the 20’ road would be approved since the road would be one-way only.
Ordinance changes were introduced. Ordinance #17-09 updating the definition for dwelling was accepted and passed.
Ordinances #17-10 through 17-15 each made the following change dealing with Side Setbacks: All structures shall have a minimum side set back of 20 feet on the street side of a corner lot. A motion was made, and the Commission accepted the above changes.
A discussion of storage sheds being put on multiple properties was discussed. Tonya Petersen noted that storage sheds are needed in the area. She thought building some sheds along Third West would help with the shed shortage. The Commission noted that Third West is zoned for commercial businesses such as restaurants, souvenir shops, clothing stores, and so forth. However, storage sheds did not fit in that zone. Tonya asked where storage sheds should be built. After a short discussion, it was decided that Tonya would work with the members of the Commission and show them some of the areas that she thought would be good to use for storage sheds. The decision concerning this issue will be placed on next month’s agenda.
A discussion about the possibility of changing setbacks within the Thornberg Subdivision was held. Rusty and Julie Hart have a home in that area and would like to be able to build a garage. According to the City’s current requirements, the lots in that area are too small to allow garages to be built. However, many individuals who live there have built them by obtaining a variance. Harts asked for a variance and were turned down. They came to the Commission to see what could be done to be fair to everyone.
The Harts had gone to the work of getting signatures from everyone who has property in that subdivision for their permission to build a garage. All were in favor of allowing this to be done.
After a brief discussion, it was decided that each of the Commission Members go down to the Subdivision and look it over so that they will be informed as to the current situation. This item is to be placed on next month’s agenda.
George Peart requested that the Commission make a decision about the tiny house issue. Currently, this is a popular item and needs to be addressed before more issues arise in the City.
The motion was made and passed that a tiny home in Garden City would require that no side of the dwelling be less than 12’ in length and must have access to sewer/septic, and water.
It was also noted that when people have a tiny home, they require larger garages and storage areas. The request was made that a size requirement for garages and storage areas be determined so that outside buildings will be kept within a reasonable size. This issue will be on next month’s agenda.
Gene Cook wants to build a dwelling behind his drive-in. It was noted that he would need to get a lot split before he could build such a building.

Good Stuff
I Can't Fix Everything
By John Brown, The Man
What’s your typical response when someone shares a frustration, problem, or issue with you? Or when they state an opinion or desire you disagree with?
Sometimes we get impatient, exasperated, or annoyed with them and simply don’t want to hear it.
Sometimes we get mad. Or defensive. And want to line them out.
Sometimes, however, we want to help.
And wouldn’t you know it, but we sometimes cause as many problems with that last reaction as the first two.
How can this be?
Your teenage daughter comes home and expresses disappointment about something that happened at school, and you want to help. How in the world could that be wrong?
Your coworker expresses annoyance with a program management is trying to implement, and you know exactly what will fix the problem and want to share it. This is going to cause problems?
In their fabulous book, I Don’t Have to Make Everything All Better: Six Practical Principles that Empower Others to Solve Their Own Problems While Enriching Your Relationships, Gary and Joy Lundberg show two different ways of acting on the desire to help others that have dramatically different results. If we try to help using the first method, we actually create more issues. We will make the person less willing to talk to us, introduce strain into the relationship, and create a lot of stress for ourselves. On the other hand, if we try to help using the second method, we’ll find the person more willing to talk. There will be more friendliness in the relationship. And our own stress will go way down. Furthermore, we’ll end up helping the person far more than we ever could with the first method.
Gary is a licensed marriage and family therapist. The six principles shared in the book for using the second method all revolve around accepting this one statement: “I do not have the power to make anything all better for anyone else. I can offer my help, but I cannot make it all better.”
Accepting this view has a dramatic impact on how we approach helping others.
So when the teenage daughter comes in and expresses disappointment, instead of trying to get her to buck up or tell her she just needs to do xyz with her friends, we listen, validate her emotions, leave the responsibility for the problem where it belongs—with her!—and then, when it’s all out, offer to help in a way that empowers her, not have us take over.
When the spouse shares frustration, it’s the same. When the coworker expresses annoyance, the same. When someone comes in to complain to us, it’s the same.
What the Lungbergs do in this book is show exactly what this looks like, with tons of examples. They even have a whole chapter (a short one) which gives a list of validating phrases and questions. The first six chapters of the book explain the principles. The last eight each apply them to a different group: young children, teenagers, adult children, spouses, parents and parents-in-law, friends, and coworkers.
Folks, this book is a gem. It’s loaded with wisdom and insight. Every time I practice what’s in here, my interactions go better. This stuff produces immediate results. I just wished I’d studied and practiced it more. But it’s never too late. And that’s why I’m rereading it now.

Short Term Rentals Along Lake Disturb Neighbors
Bobbie Bicknell Coray, Reporter
Rich Civic Times
RANDOLPH, Utah. September 6, 2017. Richard Gallacher, long time beach front resident, told commissioners that short-term rentals were ruining his and his neighbors experience at the lake. He asked commissioners to reconsider the ordinance which allows short term rentals which were taking away the quiet enjoyment they have enjoyed. He showed examples of parking violations and traffic and loud, late night noise. Gallacher said his neighbors are upset about the short term rentals.
“Is Rich County going to become a recreation place for hotels only and not private property owners?” Gallacher asked.
Commissioner Cox asked who was managing the rental. Gallacher said that Chuck Stocking, Bear Lake Rentals, was managing the property. Cox said that they usually did a good job of policing their rentals.
Gallacher said that the county sheriff was called too for noise and parking, but was told that they are too busy to work on those problems. He has dealt with this for two years.
“Consider that you have changed residential zoning to a hotel zone. If we are going to have nightly rentals then they should be in a commercial area. These “hotels” are popping up all along the beach and it ruins our quality of life for several months,” said Gallacher.
Gallacher said that St. George has zoned against short term rentals. Cox said he has talked to the county commissioners in St. George and they are wrestling with short term rentals in residential areas too. He said that the county is not ready to rescind short term rentals because it actually gives the county more control over the rentals.

New Concessions & Bowery For Randolph
Bobbie Bicknell Coray, Reporter
Rich Civic Times
RANDOLPH, Utah. September 6, 2017. Sim Bell, Randolph Town Board and Tyler Pugmire,
Rich County Fair Board suggested to the Rich County Commission that the concession
stands need updating and there is a need for a larger bowery.
Bell and Pugmire said that the City of Randolph and the Fair
Board could work together on the bowery and concession stands. Commissioner Bill Cox said that they should make
a plan and put a dollar amount to it.
Pugmire asked if the commission wanted an inside concession
with bathrooms and tables. He said the
bowery in Laketown is 16’x 30’ and he would recommend a concession/bowery of 25’x
60’ with two ends having concessions and open in the middle with some storage. Cox
said that there are enough bathrooms in the park but the concession stands need
sinks and hot water. Cox suggested to
Bell and Pugmire that the concession stands be grouped together to save on
plumbing.
Bell asked if transient room
tax could be used. He and Pugmire were told to get bids and then make a
proposal for transient room tax.
County To Reimburse Pipeline Over $100,000
Bobbie Bicknell Coray, Reporter
Rich Civic Times
RANDOLPH, Utah. September 6, 2017. Utah has central assessment of pipelines ,utilities
and large commercial entities. Usually
those entities ask for permission to use county lands and they promise large
tax returns for the county. However, in
practice, these entities often sue for a reduction in taxes later on. In the past, The Utah Association of Counties
defended the counties in these cases but now has stopped defending these
decisions.
The Salt Lake Pipeline runs 8.8% of the line under Rich
County, and the company has challenged the assessment for the last three years. The case is set for trial, but the attorney
representing four counties has suggested a settlement. The agreement approved by the four counties, Rich,
Davis, Morgan and Summit is 12½ % reduction,
which for Rich County is $100,735, which must be refunded to the pipeline
company.
“This happens with utilities all the time,” said Commissioner Bill Cox . They are appealing the tax for the years 2010 -2017. The county gets about $100,000 per year in
revenue from the pipeline.
Rich County will join the other counties in
doing the reductions and repayment; the negotiations on the payment are still
ongoing.
Criminal Prosecution Deputy Agreement

RANDOLPH, Utah. September 6, 2017. In order to contract legal services with Cache County, Ben Willoughby, Rich County Attorney, asked county commissioners to approve and sign an interlocal agreement.
Rich Civic Times
RANDOLPH, Utah. September 6, 2017. In order to contract legal services with Cache County, Ben Willoughby, Rich County Attorney, asked county commissioners to approve and sign an interlocal agreement.
This is an arrangement to contract with the Cache County
Attorney James Swink to use his office for criminal prosecution. This allows Rich County to use lawyers most
familiar with certain types of criminal prosecution without having to hire a
team. At some future time it may be
reasonable to do a prosecution district but now the Cache County Council is
more comfortable with a contract rather than a multi-county district.

Eighteen Wheeler Philosophy
Problem solved!!....
Mel Hansen, Eighteen Wheeler Philosopher
We don't need a wall on the borders! All we have to do is move all Tyson Food Plants to the border and by $&@ nobody will get in!
I didn't even get the brakes set before someone was at my door asking to see my driver's license! He escorted me to drivers check in...where I had to show my license again!...plus fill out an inch worth of paperwork declaring that it was indeed my license! (I was sweating profusely because I was sure they were going to ask me for my birth certificate and immunization records! These I didn't have to produce on the spot but had to sign another inch thick worth of paper saying I promised to have them faxed by the time I was ready to leave!)
I was assigned a loading dock door...I was escorted back to my truck, backed the trailer into a building where I had to unhook trailer...pulled truck out...big door closed to hide and seal trailer inside of building... and assigned a spot to park until they came and told me I was loaded!
Now before I arrived there my bladder was three times it normal size due to the over consumption of GatorAid...and I was in great distress and discomfort! Them scaring the $&@$ out of me didn't help matters either!
I asked if there was a drivers lounge with bathroom facilities I could use? He told me there was a drivers lounge but no bathroom facilities but I could use the employees bathroom. I said..."Let's hurry please before I embarrass myself!" He escorted me to the entrance....swiped his ID card to get us in...took me to two nice looking ladies behind bulletproof proof glass where guess what? I had to pull out my license again!...they made a photocopy of it! Sign and date my time in to use the bathroom! (Felt like just whizzing right there but I'm sure I'd been on the 10:00 news with footage of me with my pants down while being arrested by Tyson Food Security!)
Just barely made it to the bathroom!!....but I was so nervous and scared that I was being videotaped that I stood there for quite awhile!
As I went to leave I had to again sign and date my time of departure from the bathroom! (I'm really biting my tongue by now from expressing my innermost thoughts! They weren't pretty! Certainly not appropriate for this column) and I was escorted back to my truck!
They came and told me I was loaded and ready to roll. The big door was opened, I backed in and hooked up, all under strict supervision! When I exited the building the man supervising me immediately closed the two doors and was about to seal them when I yelled out "Hold the Hell on a second! I'm responsible for this load and I need to make sure it's secured the way I want it! And to make sure it's even loaded!" He backed off...I looked inside...I was indeed loaded and my load locks the way I wanted them! Doors were closed and sealed!
I was again escorted to delivery and shipping where once again I had to produce my license...they too made a photocopy of it...I was handed my BOL and was escorted back to my truck where I was more than happy to....GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE!
If everyone was vetted to enter/vote in the USA the way I was to pick up a frozen load of....MEATBALLS! Maybe there wouldn't be so many...Meatheads!
The only thing I exaggerated on was having to provide birth certificate and immunization records! If you don't believe me!....go pickup a load of anything from a Tyson Food plant!....but use the bathroom before you do!

If everyone was vetted to enter/vote in the USA the way I was to pick up a frozen load of....MEATBALLS! Maybe there wouldn't be so many...Meatheads!
The only thing I exaggerated on was having to provide birth certificate and immunization records! If you don't believe me!....go pickup a load of anything from a Tyson Food plant!....but use the bathroom before you do!
School Messenger Calling System Reminder
In 2012, Rich School District purchased a school messaging system that interfaces with our Student Information System (Aspire). The system is called School Messenger and it allows the school to contact parents by phone, text message, or e-mail.
School Messenger allows us to contact you in case of school closure, delayed bus routes, changes in activity schedules, snow days, etc. At 9:00 A.M. each day, the system will also automatically contact you if your student is absent from school. This is a safety feature we feel will be of value to you and your student(s). Any time you do not contact the office to excuse your student(s), they will be marked as unexcused and the School Messenger System will automatically contact you. Once you have received this information, the onus is on you to call the school to ensure your student(s) is to be excused.
If you wish to receive a text message instead of a call, or both: Simply text any of the following words to the number 68453: subscribe, option, yes. You will know you were successful if you receive the following reply: You are registered to receive approx. 3 msgs/mo. Text STOP to quit, HELP for help.
You will want to repeat this opt-in process for any wireless number that you wish to include. If you are uncertain as to whether or not you have already opted in, simply repeat the opt-in process. There is no harm in sending the opt-in message more than once.
In addition to performing the opt-in process, you will want to insure your wireless number(s) and all contact information is up to date in Aspire.
Please note, although the district does not charge for this service, it does not pay for text message charges that may be incurred by you for sending or receiving text messages. Please check with your wireless provider for information regarding possible charges.
If you have any questions, please contact the district office or your school's office.
