Show The Garfield County Insider EXPLORE ESCACANTE jana@exploreescalante.com Escalante High School Wrestlers have done it. Three of our four wrestlers will advance from regions to the State Tournament next weekend. Ryan Brooks @119 placed 2nd in regions; Brett Brooks @112 placed 3rd in regions; and Ryan Owens @125 placed 3rd in region. Gus Torgerson placed 6th and will accompany the team to state. Congrats to all. The team placed 6th with only 4 wrestlers. Good Job!!! EHS Homecoming — February 18th. The fun starts with a parade down Main Street at 1 PM then a rally at the High School. All Alumni and community members are welcome. We lost one of our best Highway barns in the "big storm". I'll miss seeing it, but it wasn't the fire station. Henrieville lost their fire station and both fire trucks with the weight of the snow collapsing the roof. Ours goes up and theirs comes down. Speaking of snow — as of press time there was 25" at Donkey Reservoir, 42" at Widstoe and 48" at Clayton Springs. Maybe we could postpone draining Wide Hollow and have storage this year then start the project in late September. Just a thought. Uncle Bebops Escalante LLC is seeking a Business License from Planning and Zoning for a mobile coffee cart. Robert Morgan and Sarah Edmunds have reserved the name with the state, but not registered the DBA or indicated their NA- ICS status as of press time. 8 citizens submitted a letter of interest to be appointed to the vacant seat on the Escalante City Council. Garth Noyes, Don Mosier, Lenza Wilson, Emilee Woolsey, August Bernardo, Greg Hughes, Linda Mansell and Marlene Stowe. The City Recorder, City Treasurer, Councilman Allen, and Citizen Algair interviewed all 8 with a set of questions. Their recommendation to the council of Greg Hughes was accepted and her was sworn in to serve the balance of Jerry Taylor's Council seat. Escalante has it's own Igloo. Constructed by Justine and son Rowan, Chris Riekena was the engineer. Stop by the corner of 300 North and 100 East to see it for yourself. UDOT gave a report to the Transportation, Environmental Quality, National Guard & Veterans' Affairs Appropriations Subcommittee last week at the Capitol. The financial information provided listed the 7 regions of which Garfield County is in the Richfield Maintenance District. Our funding is the lowest of all the regions with 3.9% of the $26,120,400 million being spent in fiscal year 2011. Our region includes Garfield, Kane, Piute, Sanpete, Sevier and Wayne Counties. They went on to report the Department's four strategic goals — 1) Take care of what we have, 2) Make the system work better; 3) improve safety; and 4) increase capacity.

The NRCS in Utah is announcing an EQIP signup for salinity control practices in areas outside of established salinity control areas within the Upper Colorado River Basin. Farmers and ranchers with irrigated lands outside the currently established salinity control areas are welcome to apply for funding. Applicants with irrigation improvement plans that result in cost effective salinity control will likely be selected for cost share funding at 65 percent of the applied practice cost. Applicants must meet USDA program eligibility criteria, which includes a documented irrigation history on their land for two of the last five years. Applicants may signup for this funding at their local NRCS Office located in a USDA Service Center. For more information, contact your local NRCS office or visit the Utah NRCS Web site at www.ut.nrcs.usda.gov. An NRCS representative will be available at the FSA/Forest Service Building 150 S. Main Loa, Utah on February 16th, 23rd, and March 2nd from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. |
