Correction
In the post about Mike Williamson's sentencing, we reported that the County Attorney had agreed with his attorneys that he be sentenced to 211 days in the Rich County Jail. He had not, his statement was that he recommended an appropriate sentence from the judge. The judge sentenced Williamson to 1-15 years in the Utah State Prison. - The Editor

Cisco Sonar
Black Invaders
By Bryce Nielson, The Cisco Kid
I have lived in the Bear Lake Valley for 43 years. It amazes me how much bird populations have
changed during that period. I spend a
lot of time casually watching birds at my feeders and on and around Bear
Lake. I have observed a number of
significant changes this year.
The first, this spring was the lack of gulls around the
lake. The herring gull usually shows up
when the first fish truck arrives. One
squawk and the word is out and gulls arrive for everywhere. The pavement would be white on the outside
edge of the marina. When you are out on the lake, you could throw one potato
chip overboard and in less than five minutes you had a flock begging for
more. You would see them and franklin
gulls (black head) feeding in the fields by Woodruff. This year I have seen very few gulls, hardly
any while DWR was stocking fish. I have
heard of this phenomena in other inland western areas. Maybe climate change, which is now the
standard answer when something weird happens.
The other bird is the American crow. They were extremely rare here 40 years
ago. I don’t know about you, but it
seems they are everywhere now. They are
usually disliked, a relative of a magpie, but an interesting bird. They range throughout the U.S. and
Canada. They are similar to ravens but
smaller with a blunt tail. Their flight
pattern is unique with patient, methodical flapping broken up with few
glides. Crows don’t breed until they are
at least four years old. They nest in
mature evergreens, which are common now in urban areas and residents/cabins
where humans leave a lot of food. What I
found interesting is that they form family groups up to 15 birds. The young from previous years stay with the
parents and help raise the new chicks.
The only leave when they are old enough to breed. In the winter they accumulate in roosting
areas, sometimes up to 2,000,000 birds, which cause obvious problems.
They are extremely smart, mischievous, thieves, can use
tools and generally a pain in the butt.
They eat anything from night crawlers to your dog’s food. You will see them by roadkill, but they can’t
tear anything apart with their blunt, bills so they have to wait until
something else rips it open or it rots.
They follow other birds to their nest where they can eat the chicks. They wait for migrating, exhausted, songbirds
and then eat them. They will gang up on
hawks flying with food and make them drop it.
They are also the most susceptible bird to west Nile virus.
Love them, hate them, ignore them, they are here to stay. At least as long as the seagull did.

Paris, Idaho - Architectural Treasure
In 1978, the Idaho Historical Society cataloged over 80 architecturally significant historic houses and commercial buildings in Paris, Idaho. In this and future columns we will highlight one or two. The Paris Museum has information about this and other homes.
13. SITE NAME : Hotel Paris SITE 76
13. SITE NAME : Hotel Paris SITE 76
7 Main Street, Paris, Idaho
An outset porch is centered on each street side; the porches have
flat roofs, supported on short, block battered wood piers on tall
concrete-capped brick bases. The
entrance on Main is evidently the primary one, with front as well as side
walls, and an extra set of brick pillars flanking the concrete steps. On the
basement and first stories, up to a continuous concrete sill running under the
windows, the brick is rough-textured. From
the sill to the crested and parapet roofline, it is smooth. Windows are of various types--fixed,
casement, sash; hence some re-glazing has apparently occurred. The concrete
sills and transom lights of the downstairs windows are undisturbed, along with
the truncated pilasters, capped with small "hip-roofed" wood and
metal ornaments, which separate them.
The main decorative elements on the upper story are simple geometric
patterns formed by header and inset courses of the brick, and the broad, flat,
Prairie style metal cornice suspended midway between the window heads and the
roofline.
Hotel Paris is architecturally significant as one of Paris' more
pretentious buildings, and as the first non-religious structure to occupy the
Tabernacle block. This long-awaited project was brought about through the same
backing and designers as the Browning Block. In
fact, this building and the business block were being built simultaneously in
1917. Shreeve and Madsen of Ogden were
the architects and the contractor was Louis Sorenson of Rigby who brought in
not only his own workers but materials as well. Construction began in 1916
after the lot had been purchased from the church.
In its finished form, the hotel had twenty-two rooms and was
"elegantly furnished throughout. With
its bungalow and Prairie appearance, the hotel would have been, even more than
the Browning Block, a truly "modern” addition to Main Street.
Some of its horizontal character is found in the Public
School further north on Main Street, but the hotel design has no colleague in
Paris. (14 Paris Post, 8 March 1918)
Mike Williamson Sentenced
Twenty years ago retired Rich District teacher, Mike
Williamson who was then 40 years old, had a four year sexual relationship with
a 13 year girl, a minor, a student of his at Rich Middle School and Rich High
School. She was also a friend of one of
his daughters. In an emotional
statement, Williamson asked for forgiveness and gave a talk about the atonement
of Christ.
He cited his “mistake” which
caused Judge Tom Wilmore to verbally jump all over him saying it was not
“mistake” it was a crime. Wilmore also
chastised friends and family members who wrote glowing letters about
Williamson’s value to the community and the schools in spite of his one
“mistake”.
The victim was allowed to respond and in a hushed and choked
voice began to detail the serious offenses and the fear and betrayal that she
felt when a beloved teacher began to molest her over and over for four years and
threaten her with her family’s future and his family’s future happiness if she
told anyone. She said “you used me for
four years and tossed me away. And then you sentenced me to a life sentence of
fear, self-loathing, confusion and trauma.”
Her husband, with barely concealed rage, gave his testimony about
the phone call to Williamson that they recorded as the victim confronted
Williamson. He said that Williamson said
that their relationship had helped him be a better father and husband and that
he thought she would be a better wife and mother because of it. “How can that be when we both now live in
fear when our three kids go for a school or church activity. How can it be when
our marriage had this secret that only came out two years ago that my beloved
wife had held hurting in her heart? You
have had your life for 20 years, you have been allowed to retire and to enjoy
your grandchildren…this is still happening to my wife every day.” At this point, one of the victim’s sisters
began to sob and the judge ordered her to leave the court.
The County Attorney and Williamson’s attorneys plead that
because he has stage 4 prostate cancer he should be sentenced to 210 days in
the Rich County Jail so that he could get medical attention. They said because of the type of cancer, he
was not a danger to anyone else and that he had done a lot of good in the
community.
The judge said that he had been wrestling with this for a
long time. He said however, this was a
heinous crime against the noble profession of teaching and a crime against the
community as well as a crime against a little girl, a child, a minor by someone who, as a teacher, he was responsible to protect.
Judge Wilmore said
that he wanted to send a clear message and create a deterrence, so Mike
Williamson having plead guilty of sexual misconduct with a minor was sentenced
to 1-15 years for the first count and 0 to 5 for the second count to run
concurrently at the Utah State Prison.
Williamson was handcuffed and led out of the courtroom to the sobs of
both families.
Tammy Weston Nelson 1961-2016
Tamara Weston Nelson 55, passed away peacefully in her home
July 29, 2016 in the arms of her loved ones- her husband, children and
grandchildren.
Tamara was born in Montpelier, ID on June 21, 1961 to Joseph
and Arlene Weston. June 21st is very fitting for her birth as it is
the summer equinox- the longest day of the year and mom lived every day to the
fullest. She married her sweetheart, Brad Nelson, December 18, 1980 and they
were blessed with 5 children.
Tamara loved spending time outdoors hiking, running, and camping,
and her favorite memories were those with her husband and children. Everyone
who knew Tamara, knew of her strength and perseverance which shined through as
she faithfully endured stage IV colon cancer for 7 years. She ran a good race,
fought a good fight, and amid all of this, she was always looking for ways to
serve and bless the lives of others.
Tamara is survived by her loving husband Brad Lester Nelson,
3 sons and 2 daughters, Tyler & Ashley Nelson of Layton, Utah, BJ &
Shandee Nelson of Iowa City, Iowa, Trevor & Katie Nelson of Iowa City,
Iowa, Talina & Derek Labrum of Pocatello, Idaho, and Brookayla Nelson of
Nibley, Utah, as well as her soon to be 10 grandchildren.
Surviving Parents, Joseph & Renate Weston, and 3
surviving brothers, Ted & Raegene Weston, Max & Shirlynn Weston, and
Hal & Pam Weston.
Tamara was preceded in death by her mother, Arlene Beck
Weston, Grandpa Maurice Beck, Grandma Virgina Beck, Grandpa Lorin Weston, and
Grandma Hazel Weston.
A viewing will be held at the Nelson residence 4865 S.
Hollow Road in Nibley, Utah on Wednesday, August 3 from 6pm- 8pm.
Funeral services to honor and celebrate Tamara’s life will
be held on Thursday, August 4, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. at the LDS Church 3650 S 450
W Nibley, UT (viewing from 9:30-10:30 a.m.). Burial services will immediately
follow the funeral in Fish Haven, ID.
July Fire Board Report
Chris S. Coray, reporter
Rich Civic Times
The Garden City Fire District governing board held its
monthly meeting on July 21 in the fire station.
All board members were present.
Tiffany Wahlberg presented a financial document covering the
operation of the fire department for and through the year ended Dec 31,
2015. The department is in sound
financial condition and complies with all required state financial procedures.
In its continuing efforts to remain connected to the
community the department held a barbecue for all citizens on the 23rd
of July at the city park. The department
also helped with the flag raising ceremony on July 23rd.
While there are many areas in the district, e.g., Sweetwater
Hill, where fireworks are forbidden at all times, there are a few places inside
the town of Garden City during the period 21-27 July where they are allowed, under
the direction of the fire department.
Outside of that 6 day period fireworks are prohibited in all places.
In other items, the department will again host the annual
Raspberry Days pancake breakfast. Some
of the proceeds will be transmitted to the Rich High School drill team as girls
from that team will be providing much of the help needed to operate the
breakfast.
Chief Wahlberg has located and obtained a new 5,000 gallon
tender/trailer for water to replace the 50 year old one which has deteriorated
(due to age) to the point of being non-operational.
Brush truck 42 has almost reached the end of its functional
work life and will be replaced over time.
There were 61 incidents in the past month; 4 fires (the
biggest being the north lake fire across the lake), 17 medical assists, 13 fire
alarms, 3 carbon monoxide alarms, 3 propane leaks, 2 rescue boat call outs, and
19 fireworks violations (compared to 43 last year). The chief did note that so far this year
there had not been a single reported fireworks violation on the Sweetwater Hill
but that the widespread effort to educate people in the district appears to be
producing results district wide.

Humanitarian Groups Represented at Bear Lake Crafters - Raspberry Days
Sandi Gunderson Warner, contributor
Rich Civic Times
Animals Need Help of Bear Lake (ANH)
ANH Bear Lake is an all volunteer, no-kill rescue organization located in Montpelier Idaho whose mission is to rescue and rehome abused, neglected and homeless pets. Volunteers work hard to ensure these animals are socialized and healthy before placing them in a forever home. (8+ years ago we got our beautiful Sam from them).
The ANH motto is “We are their hope, you are their future” and they are guided by the principle: SAVING ONE PET WON'T CHANGE THE WORLD BUT SURELY THE WORLD WILL CHANGE FOR THAT ONE PET.
To raise funds for their community spay-neuter program they will be selling shirts, hats, jackets and other items with their logo plus some items handmade by local crafters who truly believe in and support their mission.
Garden City Humanitarian Quilters
Marie Weston started the Humanitarian Quilting group at the Garden City LDS Church in 1993 and was its organizer for 14 years. When Garden City purchased the property on 300 West and built the City Office Complex, they included a closet specifically for quilting supplies and Humanitarian Quilters have been housed there ever since. They get-together every Tuesday afternoon in the Mountain View room above the library to quilt and socialize and laugh and truly enjoy what they do to give back.
Over the years they have made and donated approximately 12,000 to 13,000 quilts, the majority of which are sent to the Humanitarian Center in SLC who provide the fabric. They have also donated several quilts for families in need, the Road Home in SLC, the Women's Shelter in Logan, to hospitals and some to a couple of schools that had students in need.
To raise funds for batting they will be selling some of the quilts made with fabric donated from their own and other's quilting supplies.
So please stop by the Bear Lake Valley Craft Fair in the Lake View Bldg on 300 West during Raspberry Days and support 2 of our most active and beloved non-profit organizations.

City Rec Center Public Hearing
"Anyone who has interest in the subject of the proposed Rec Center or wants the Power Point or PDF regarding the costs, details etc. call the city office at 435.946.2901 or email myself johns@gardencityut.us or Bob Peterson robertp@gardencityut.us The rec. Center is decided by the public not by the council. You can also go to www.gardencityut.us for information on the layout and what is being proposed." John Spuhler
Bobbie Bicknell Coray, reporter
Rich Civic Times
GARDEN CITY, Utah. July 26, 2016. Garden City Recreation Center public hearings were held. The City hired JUB for a preliminary design to decide what the project would cost. GKB Investment Bankers provided expertise about bonding. Bob Peterson, City Administrator worked with other communities of similar size to see what they had done to build their community rec centers. National trends seem to be for multipurpose centers for all ages and abilities.
Amenities include indoor walking/running track, climbing walls, and therapeutic pools. Seniors are the fasted growing segment of health club memberships and they have 70% of disposable income. Top sports include group exercise, walking, swimming and running.
Youth are discouraged from taking drugs if they are active in sports. Half of teens said that they would not use their screens as much if they had a place to play and do sports. Plus it combats youth obesity.
The Garden City Master Plan suggests developing a facility, park and trail system or family recreational activities. Pickleball, volleyball or basketball courts were suggested.
So far 100% of people polled in Garden City in a non-scientific poll used the parks and recreation facilities, most used is the bike trail. Over 75% of respondents were second home owners.
Residents would like more recreational opportunities especially in the form of trails and access to public lands. Residents would like to see improvements continue at Heritage Park and fish pond. However, several individuals felt there were enough amenities.
Over 70% of residents indicated that grants were their preferred source for funding additional services and facilities. The majority of respondents were opposed to increasing property tax.
The City Pool has over 4,600 people using it yearly. This number did not include adult spectators. January and August had the most visitors. The pool is being used year round.
The rec center is proposed to be 32000 square feet, with 2 basketball courts 4 volleyball, 6 pickleball, batting cage, golf driving range and rock wall. Also proposed are activity rooms, workout room, and an elevated jogging track. It will be open 24 hours a week during off season and 90 hours during peak season.
The City believes it will cost $6.14 million for the entire project. The average home $244,580 in city, with a primary resident 45% deduction it is taxed at $134,00 177.61 so there would be $14.81 extra a month. Membership costs family for residents would be $360 a year which included the pool. Nonresident passes would be $660.00 a year for a family. Single senior non- resident pass would be $240 . It will be handicapped accessible.
The Council needs to pass a resolution to start the process. On Aug 11 they will vote on authorization to put the bond on the November ballot will be voted upon.
.
The city expects revenue of $215,000 expenses $190,000 but under a worst case analysis there would be a $46,000 loss in the first few years. PAL taxes would have to make up the differences.
The City anticipates 150 residents buying passes and 50 non residents. 10,000 would buy day passes.
Scott Tollentino asked, "How about saving for it and planning for the future? It's a great idea but the timing is bad. For example $280,00 was just spent for non contiguous land to the park and that money could be spent for saving for the park."
Peterson said, "the city is growing and services need to be made for that growth. Cities control parks and rec.
Chris Coray asked what fraction of property is owned by non registered voters. Councilman Bruce Warner said that 80% are second homes and they pay 100% of the property value. "The fact that they cannot vote on this is a problem we face on every issue."
The city is proposing a General Obligation Bond at 2.81% interest over 20 years. ($410,000 annual debt service.)
Lake Elevations
Bear Lake elevation update
July 25, 2016
- Bear Lake on July 25th was at 5,913.25 - That is down 1.19 ft from the high elevation approximately one month ago.
- The flow at Rainbow Canal is only 70 cfs. Ten days ago it was around 320 cfs. That drop in natural flow has resulted in an increase in pumping from the lake. Ten days ago the rate was 1000 cfs. Yesterday it was up to 1500 cfs.
- The twice weekly conference calls continue to reflect all water users' conservation efforts. To date they have used about 58,000 acre feet or about 8 inches of Bear Lake water.That means the other 6 inches have been lost due to evaporation! It's a natural byproduct of our recent hot and windy weather.
Does anyone see any monsoonal rain in the forecast?
