Ice Pushingby Bryce Neilson

| Bryce Neilson |
It is a beautiful spring day outside at Bear Lake. Everyone knows that spring begins next week
and everyone can't wait for the snow to leave and the green to appear. This will begin everywhere around us but not
in the Bear Lake Valley. We have, as close
as I can estimate, (for the Muddled
Male's benefit) 24,393,600 tons of ice to melt.
We are an icebox and it is going to take some time to turn the ice into
water. This is especially true
considering the lake is covered with new snow that reflects heat and in fact it
is still making ice.
If you travel along the shoreline you will see ice being
pushed up on shore. This is not due to
the wind or changing lake elevations but expansion. This action is actually very important to the
littoral zone of the lake. After years
of low water, dead trees and phragmities in addition to sandbars and rocks are
now encased in ice which is now moving.
With that much mass nothing can resist it. So when it melts some time, I hope, in April things will look different, This stirs up and revitalizes the
shoreline. I personally be happy to see
the old dead snags gone. When breakup
get closer I will talk about what happens then.
(Editor's note: I'm just waiting for my first hamburger at Cisco's on the Marina!)

Musings of a Muddled Male
By Bob Stevens
The Muddled Male
Chaotic
Mind of an Engineering Insomniac
It
actually started with Ann, my wife. It
was 11:30
PM and I was tired from a long day.
So as soon as Ann started watching a chick flick on the Hallmark channel
I slipped off to bed to get some sleep to prepare for the next long day. One blink and I was snoring....and then it
was 2:20
AM and the TV was blaring from the Den where Ann had fallen asleep
before her show had ended. And so, like
a dutiful and loving husband, I slipped quietly into the den, turned off the
TV, covered Ann so she wouldn't be cold, and went back to bed where I now lay
wide awake, staring into the dark; thinking.
2:45 AM- I was thinking about water rights and
how the maximum flow rate that was allowed by the water right affected the
maximum quantity of water that could be pumped during the year without
violating the volume portion of the water right. Let's see now, I need to convert cubic feet
per second to gallons per minute and then multiply that times the number of
minutes in an hour, the number of hours in a day, and the number of days in a
year. I knew that the last step was to
divide the answer by the number of gallons in an acre-foot of water, but it was
more than I could juggle in my already tired mind. I know that my friend the math professor has
never met a number he didn't like, and can do complicated math problems in his
head, but I needed sleep. Besides, I
think better in spreadsheets.
3:15 AM- I was in the middle of designing a mental
spreadsheet that would get me the number of acre-feet for various flow rates so
that I could create a graphic that would give me a visual of the acre-feet at
different flow rates and for different hours of pumping each day. What I really wanted to do was to go to my
computer and just do it, but that is where Ann was sleeping and I didn't want
to disturb her, so I just continued designing in my mind.
4:00 AM- I had my spreadsheet firmly in mind
and was now totally exhausted. So I
rolled over on my left side, pulled my legs up into a semi-fetal position, and
prepared to drift off into the sleep I so badly wanted. Have you ever noticed that if you are awake
and trying to sleep on your side with one leg directly on top of the other that
the knee and ankle bones of the leg on top press uncomfortably down on the knee
and ankle bones of the leg on the bottom?
The same thing happens in reverse if you roll over and sleep on your
right side.
4:15 AM- I tried sleeping on my back with even
worse results. I couldn't lie with my
feet pointing straight up because the blankets pressing down hurt my toes. And I couldn't turn my feet inward or outward
onto their sides while sleeping on my back, because it distorted my hips. I finally settled on the Egyptian-walking,
Hieroglyphic position. You know, the one
where you lie on your side with one leg slightly ahead of the other and both slightly
bent at the knee so that in profile you look like you are walking. That way nothing is pressing down on
anything, and now I was certain that I could go to sleep.
4:30 AM- while I was laying there trying to
sleep I noticed that the heat vent in the ceiling right over our pillows would
blow warm air down onto my face when the furnace went on in the middle of the
night, and that is probably what had been drying out my mouth while I was
sleeping.
4:45 AM- by now my dry mouth was giving me
heart burn so I got up to sneak a couple of the Tums Ann uses to provide
calcium, and while I was up I decided to see if it had snowed, which it hadn't.
5:00
AM- While I was
laying there in the Hieroglyphic position I began to think that this whole
thing was the making of a Muddled Male column, but I would never be able to
remember all the things that had been tumbling through my sleepless mind if I
didn’t get up and make some notes. So I
got up and went to the Den, got a pen and a note pad, and stood at the bathroom
counter in the cold in my underwear and scribbled.
5:20 AM- Finally, I told myself, I can go to
sleep....and then I began to fret over the fact that tomorrow would begin Daylight
Savings and I was going to lose another hour of sleep that I would never
recover and now, because I was worrying, I couldn’t go to sleep.
And that was why you may have caught
me snoozing in Church. And how was your
night?
March Garden City Council Meeting Report
Kathie B. Anderson, Reporter
Rich County Times
GARDEN CITY, Utah- March 2013. Zan Murray, Garden
City Town Engineer, reported that the meter project in Harbor Village and Cisco
Landing is well below budget. It was suggested that Garden City purchase city
meters, which would also be cost efficient.
Riley Argyle, of the Garden City Public Works Department,
reported that the Heritage Park Pond will need more bendinite since at least 10
feet was lost during the winter. Zan
Murray will conduct an evaporation test on the pond. Home water meters and landscaping will be put
on hold until the thaw begins. Two rebuild kits will be required to get the
pumps going again. In about two weeks, the City will need to purchase parts. At
the present time, equipment is down to the “bare bones”. Replacement parts will
cost $11,000. This work needs to be done before the warranty expires. There
have been several spring time leaks that must be repaired. Travis Argyle and
Travis Hobbs attended the State Safety Conference. A seasonal person to help beautify the town,
clean the canals, etc. will likely be hired in April.
George Peart, Rich County Building Inspector, attended the
March Planning and Zoning Meeting and acknowledged that the committee had
several legitimate concerns such as the sign ordinance, ingress and egress in
Lochwood Subdivision, rental space in the Texaco gas station for Subway, and
parking requirements. The kiosk public works project will allow city employees
to build the kiosk without a contractor. Peart asked Garden City if any
“transfer of rights transaction” has ever occurred. The answer was “no”.
Andy Stokes, Code Enforcement Officer, reported that
temporary signs will be allowed for businesses, thereby encouraging more
businesses to stay open during the winter. Temporary directional signs will
also be allowed for temporary events. The signage can be set up five days
before the event, but must be taken down within five days after the event. A
form on the city website must be filed out before a sign will be allowed.
Danny White, Garden City Administrator, reported on the
decorative signs and solar lights. Weather permitting; installation of the
solar lights will begin in April. The garden City banners for the lights have
been designed and manufactured. The banner for Raspberry Days has been designed
and Raspberry Days lettering is being made darker.
The master plan for Heritage Park and the possibility of
running irrigation lines and planting some turf this year are being looked
into. Creating a designated parking area with compact road base is also under
consideration. The kiosk is now in the final phase of design. A structural
engineer at JUB Engineers is reviewing the kiosk plans to make sure the design
is sufficient to support the loads to which it will be subjected. Mr. White is
working with JUB to revise the city’s master plan to predict how many new
buildings will be built by 2050, determine how many buildings could be built
based on current zoning, and create a GIS layer for the Garden City Zoning Map.
Data is being collected on existing parks and trails which will be analyzed to
determine Garden City’s future needs.
The Traveland RV Park located at 145 North 300 West is under
the new ownership of Steve Knap.
A business license was discussed and approved by the Garden
City Council.
Ordinance #13-03 is an update of REQUIREMENTS FOR A SIGN
PERMIT
Ordinance #13-04 is an update of SIGN DEFINITIONS
Both of these Ordinances were discussed and approved. These
new updates will be listed under the Garden City Website.
Elections by mail were unanimously approved by the City
Council.
The Garden City Town Council proclaimed April, 2013 to be CHILD
ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH,which will be implemented by
actively promoting and improving public awareness; encouraging responsible
intervention; and supporting the collaborative mission of Strengthening
Families and Protecting Children.

HB333 Boat Launch Permitting

Director

Bear Lake Watch, Inc.
801-243-8980
Here is an update on the HB333
as passed. When this bill went the Senate, Senator Hillyard proposed a
substitute bill with language that clarifies and requires State Lands to issue a
permit for launching from adjacent private property and to make the rules for
the permits to be administered.
I think this cleared up the
most controversial portion of this bill. There are a few other things to keep in
mind regarding this legislative action:
- This portion of the law does not apply to any private property (aka: above the highwater line).
- It might help clear up other questions by seeing how these pieces of the code all fit together. ("Sub-section 3" contains the changes at issue. Sub-sections 1 & 2 were amended in 2012)
- Another important thing to remember is that Utah law also required The Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands to administer Bear Lake through a "Comprehensive Management Plan" (CMP) which requires public process.
- The CMP will need to be amended to accommodate these new changes - this will be your opportunity to give input and have further impact on how the beaches will be administered. Be watching for notices of this action! We will get it out to you as soon as we know.
Farmer's Market On Track
Melissa Spuhler
Special to the Rich Civic Times
We had a productive meeting yesterday brainstorming
ideas for our farmer's market this summer. Here are some of the decisions that
were made.
1. It will still take place on Fridays from 5pm-8pm, starting day is June 7th running through August.
2. Our location will be in the same parking lot, but further west next to the new bathroom structures that have been built. We are going to rope off our area early Friday mornings with colorful flag rope that catches peoples eye during the day. Two new (BIG) banners will be made that go out each Friday morning, one on Highway 30 and one on Highway 89.
3. Vendors that pay for the whole year will get the "choice" spots that are near the grass and shade. Vendors will have assigned spots this year, so there isn't confusion in setting up. For those that pay weekly, they will be in an area designated for them. These won't be decided until our April meeting.
4. Cost of $50 for craft and art vendors per year, and $25 for produce or baked goods per year. Even if people show up to sell one time, they will pay a $10 weekly fee for crafts, and $5 for produce or baked goods. Maybe a set table for families and children that bring home grown produce so they don't have to pay anything.
5. Advertising- We are still looking for our logo and artwork for our postcards and posters. (Sue Knapp's daughter and Wendy are working on this, but feel free to help!) We plan on advertising in Logan and Montpelier and the local radio stations besides putting out postcards and posters everywhere. Sandi Warner and Bobbie Coray will be working on this together, but can also use help. Melinda Hislop is helping with putting this in as many areas as she can, the Bear Lake Tourism website, and the Bear River Heritage Area brochures, etc.
6. We want to have music/ entertainment each week located around a focal point near the bathrooms with haybales. We would be willing to pay $75 if they have to travel and $50 to local people, but they need to play for the whole 3 hours, with a short break. They can sell their CD's and can put out a case or jar for donations. If another person or band wants to come, that is great, but they will not be paid anything once the schedule is made and the "main entertainment" has been told they will be paid. We cannot pay more than $75 PER WEEK to any person or group.
PLEASE help us get the word out there that we are looking for people to do this. Local people would be the best! (Richard Willis is going to call a place in Logan that has performers and- Joan Willis and Carrie Hislop are going to help Melissa organize this - get a calendar of people set up for the summer) Rick Rose needs to be contacted to see if he would be willing to participate, helping with speakers, etc- Would anyone like to do this while I am out of town?
We came up with some great ideas. Please keep thinking and MOST OF ALL talking to everyone you know and inviting them to participate! We need as many vendors as possible!!!
Our next meeting will be April 19th at 4pm at the parking lot where we will hold the farmer's market. I will have applications at that meeting and you will be able to pay for and select your space that day. See you all there,

Rich High Does It Again!
Rich High's production of South Pacific was wonderful with great local talent, costumes, and scenery. Every year tops the one before, which seems impossible with such a small school, but the productions are first rate and the teachers and directors should all be proud of the extra work and effort that goes into these productions. The students learn discipline, and performance skills that will help them as they enter universities and careers.
These pictures were taken by Tammy Calder of Calderberry Photos.

Logan Film Festival
DOCUMENTARY TELLS STORY OF LAST HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS
Logan Film Festival to Screen “REFUGE: Stories of the Selfhelp Home”--March 23
CHICAGO— Logan Film Festival will present “REFUGE: Stories of the Selfhelp Home,” which tells the stories of
some of the last Holocaust survivors, as an official selection March 23.
The film will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Caine Lyric Theatre,
28 West Center Street, Logan, Utah. Director Ethan Bensinger will present the
film.
Since its premiere at the Illinois
Holocaust Museum in June, REFUGE has
been accepted to 18 film festivals. It won the top award for excellence at the
recent Beloit Film International Festival, as well as "Best
Documentary" and "Best in Fest" awards at the Sycamore Film
Festival in Sycamore, Illinois. The film has been broadcast on PBS, and shown
widely at schools, libraries and synagogues. Recently it was featured in a
project by Germany’s national broadcaster, Deutsche Welle. Upcoming screenings
include Holocaust museums in Milwaukee, Kansas City, Cincinnati, St. Louis and
Miami, as well as at the Chicago History Museum.
REFUGE interweaves deeply personal interviews and expert commentary by
well-known historians to explore the lives of six Chicagoans against the
context of the Nazi cataclysm and how a small group of them came together to
care for their own The film illuminates the lost world of Central European
Jewry prior to World War II--middle class, educated, cultured--and the
remarkable courage, resilience and character of its final generation at
Selfhelp in Chicago.
These refugees and survivors, now in their late 80s and above, speak
vividly of loss of family and of place and of decisions that meant the
difference between life and death. Several of the elderly survivors personally
witnessed Kristallnacht (known as “Night of the Broken Glass”), the coordinated
series of attacks by the Nazis against Jewish communities throughout Germany
and Austria in 1938. Others speak of finding refuge in England through the
Kindertransport, escaping to the United States and Shanghai, hiding on estates
and in castles in France, and deportation to the Theresienstadt and Auschwitz
concentration camps.
“Each one saw his or her
role in history and realized that they were the last eyewitnesses to these
events and their stories had to be told,” REFUGE
Director Ethan Bensinger said. Bensinger, who lives in Chicago and Bonita
Springs, himself comes from a German-Jewish family who fled Nazi Germany in the
1930s and eventually settled in Chicago in 1955. The documentary grew out of a
project by Bensinger to interview the last remaining survivors and refugees at
the Selfhelp Home. Many of the stories are heartbreaking. They speak of loss of family, of
place, of separation. But they also tell of renewal, of resilience, of finding
love and creating new families, of starting again in a new land.”
“These eyewitnesses teach us and future generations that strength in the
face of adversity often comes from a sense of community built upon shared
experience,” said Rick Hirschhaut, Executive Director of the Illinois Holocaust
Museum.
Selfhelp was founded in the late 1930s by a handful of young Jewish
refugees who fled Nazi Germany to the safety of Chicago. Through prescience,
pooled resources and a strong spirit of volunteerism, Selfhelp provided
housing, food, English classes and job placement services to other displaced
Jewish émigrés and later, after the war, to Holocaust survivors. They put
people up in their own homes and reached deep in their pockets to give those
who came with nothing the basics of what they needed to start new lives in a
new country.
In 1950, Selfhelp opened up a residential home for the oldest refugees
and survivors, whose atmosphere reproduced some of the home life and cultural
experiences that they had lost. To date, more than 1,000 refugees and survivors
have spent their last years at the Selfhelp homes in Chicago’s Hyde Park and
Edgewater communities.
Three of the original founders, now in their late 80s and 90s, still sit
on the board and participated in the making of the film. In the documentary,
they express their concern for the home’s future, when the last survivors and
refugees, who give Selfhelp its unique mission and meaning, will be gone.
“Our film explores a community that will not exist
for much longer,” Bensinger said. “Within 10 years or so, there will be no
Jewish victims of Nazi persecution living at Selfhelp. Out of the 30 refugees
and survivors I originally interviewed, less than a dozen are still alive
today. As a filmmaker, I feel obligated to give a voice to these last
eyewitnesses to life as it was before, during and after the war, so that future
generations understand the consequences of intolerance, injustice and
unmitigated hatred. “

Spitfire Grill
Sat, March 16, 7:30pm – 9:30pm
Heritage Theatre / 2505 South Highway 89 / Perry, Utah (map)
The Spitfire Grill is a wonderful musical Directed by Melanie Day with LaNan Donovan Music Director.
Percy Talbot (played by Michele McGarry) has just been released from a five year prison sentence for manslaughter. She is trying to find a place for a fresh start, and based on a page from an old travel book, travels to a small town in, Wisconsin. The local sheriff, Joe Sutter, (played by Bryce Day) finds her a job at Hannah’s Spitfire Grill, the only eatery in this struggling town. The Spitfire Grill is for sale. But with no interested buyers, Hannah (played by Pam Higginson) decides to raffle it off. Entry fees are one hundred dollars and the best essay on why you want the grill wins.
