Show The Park Record Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues, May 20-23, 2017 Obituary A-7 Dr. Kenneth A. Wilde 1929-2017 He was, quite literally, a rocket scientist. Raised in Coalville, he was his high school’s salutatorian before earning his Ph.D in Physical Chemistry from the University of Utah; then he worked at Rohm and Haas in Huntsville, Alabama, developing rocket fuel for the nascent space program. Later he was employed at Radian Corporation and the IRS in Austin, Texas. We loved him. We learned from him. He enjoyed reading The Skeptical Inquirer, was an expert hand at bridge, and I’m not sure what else to say. He is survived by three daughters: Joy Lynette Pounds, Dr. Kenneth A. Wilde Lisa Studdard and Alison Urban (Karl Urban – spouse). Wilde is predeceased by his wife, Helen Wilde. He also is survived by seven grandchildren: Amy, Jennifer Hutchinson, Austin Harris, Brooke Studdard, Lindsay Urban Killeen, Curtis Urban, and Danielle Urban. He didn’t want a service; we will gather at the graveside at Austin Memorial Cemetery in Texas to memorialize him at 2 p.m. on May 27. Anyone who wishes may attend. Donate to your favorite charity if you wish. The end. Please join us in remembering Kenneth by visiting our memorial at www.cookwaldenchapelofthehills.com. Through this site, we invite you to share your thoughts and fond memories with our family. POWER TOMORROW. SAVE TODAY. Hate crimes measure among the plans for 2018 legislation By HALLIE GOLDEN Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah measure that ramps up punishment for those found guilty of hate crimes is one of a handful of bills lawmakers plan to run again in the 2018 legislative session, reviving their efforts after one, two or even three failed attempts during previous sessions. May 9 was the first day legislators could start filing their planned legislation for next year. On Monday, lawmakers had already posted plans for dozens of new and previously considered measures. Here are some key bills that lawmakers plan to run again: Hate crimes A Utah lawmaker says he plans to run a measure that would give heavier punishments to defendants who are found guilty of committing a crime to terrorize groups of people based on factors like race, gender and religion. Republican Daniel Thatcher said Friday that he introduced a similar bill during the recently competed legislative session, but it was never given a public hearing because of strong opposition from some lawmakers. Thatcher says he expects the measure to be similar to the one he ran in 2017, but he may slightly tone down the enhanced punishments for some crimes. He says he expects this change to increase support for the measure and is confident it will pass. E-cigarettes Republican Rep. Paul Ray says that he plans to revisit a measure that would tax electronic cigarettes in a similar fashion to tobacco cigarettes. He says he hopes boosting the price will help to curb young people’s use of the product, saying the product is very unhealthy. “We know that if we price these at the right price points, kids won’t use them because they can’t afford them,” he said Friday. The measure is expected to add about an 86 percent tax to e-cigarettes. E-cigarettes are batterypowered electronic vaporizers that heat liquid nicotine into an inhalable mist. They began to appear in the U.S. in late 2006 and marketing has increased exponentially in recent years. Right to die For the fourth year in a row, Democratic Rep. Rebecca Chavez-Houck is planning to run a bill that would allow terminally ill adults who are expected to live six months or less to choose to end their lives. She said Friday that she plans to revisit the measure because some patients want to have the option and constituents throughout the state are pushing for the legislation. The proposal will likely be similar to the one she introduced during the 2017 session and include such safeguards as requiring that the patient is mentally competent and having two physicians sign off on the prognosis.
