October 20, 2021 www.DesertMessenger.com 19 Decal required for nonresidents to ride in Arizona, purchased only through AZGFD Out-of-state residents wishing to legally ride their off-highway vehicle and support OHV trail maintenance, education and law enforcement ef- forts in Arizona can purchase a non- resident OHV decal. The decal was supported and pushed by the OHV riding community during the 2019 legislative session and was signed into law by Gov. Doug Ducey. The law requires nonresident OHV owners to purchase a decal to operate the ma- chines within the state. All OHVs designed by the manufac- turer primarily for use over unimproved terrain and that weigh 2,500 pounds or less are required by law to display a valid OHV decal to operate on public and state trust lands. This includes "street legal" OHVs that meet these two requirements. Non-resident OHV decal requirements KATHYRN (KAT) SCHREINER Kathyrn (Kat) Schreiner, 70, Quartzsite, Arizona resident went peacefully in her sleep from heart failure in Parker, Arizona, September 21st, 2021. Kathyrn was born in Cheyenne, Wyoming, February 3, 1951, to Al- yce Wiejeck and Sherman Woodruff. She spent her younger years in Mar- ion, Oregon, with her three younger brothers David, Ted, and Lee and her step father Dean Milstead. Kathyrn spent her teenage years in Soap Lake, Washington, where she would meet her high school sweetheart, Larry Schreiner. Before long, they went their separate ways. Kathyrn mar- ried Rick Shipley in August of 1972. In 1974, their daughter Tawnya was born, while Kathyrn and Rick were living in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Kathyrn moved back to Soap Lake, Wash- ington, in 1975. Kathyrn and Larry would inevitably reconnect. In 1979 Kathyrn, Tawnya, and Lar- ry made their new permanent home in Rochester, Washington. That is where Kathyrn met her dearest clos- est friend Kandy Elbert. Their friend- DONALD "KING" KAYSER Donald "King" Kayser peacefully de- parted this world for the next on September 23, 2021. He was born during a triple- digit heatwave in his mother's bed- room in Orland, California on June 30, 1932. After a successful career as an insur- ance agent and entrepreneur in Chi- co, CA, Don moved to Bonners Ferry, ID in 1978 and made it his home. He built a log cabin from logs he cut and skidded out of the wooded part of his property with a 1950's CAT. He liked to share how he peeled the fi rst ten logs with his pocketknife, before he found an easier way after getting advice from a local old-timer and be- gan using "spud peelers" and a draw- knife. After his house was built, and after working at a local lumberyard, he founded his own insurance agency— Kayser Insurance, which is still in business today under different man- agement, in Bonners Ferry. He served the community through being active in the local Kiwana's club and Chamber of Commerce. He loved to make cotton candy at the Kiwana's yearly Kootenai River Days booth. He also ran for county commissioner, and was only narrowly defeated. When Don retired, he divided his time between his home in Bonners Ferry and his home in Quartzite, AZ, where he loved exploring the desert and serving his neighbors in whatever way he could. He had a smile for ev- eryone and was known for his cowboy hat, which he wore anytime he went outside—rain or shine. He is preceded in death by his fa- ther, Henry Kayser, his mother Ame- lia (Brunemeier) Kayser, his brother Stanley Kayser, and his sister, Darlene (Kayser) Forbes, and his sons David Lee Kayser and Terry Neal Kayser. Don is survived by his sons Mark Kayser (spouse, Sue) of Heron, MT and Warren Kayser (spouse, Susan) of Cottonwood, AZ; his daughters Donna Huddleston (spouse, Marty) of Bonners Ferry and Leslie Nafus (spouse, Didier) of Verdi, NV; and his 16 grandchildren and 23 great grand- children. The family is receiving no donations, fl owers or cards at this time and a pri- vate, family-only service will be held. In Memoriam ship blossomed and grew as Kandy lived across the street; and became a very important part of the family. In 1980 Kathyrn and Larry opened up a family owned business called Copper Penny Coins in downtown Centralia, Washington. This was the beginning of many years of swap meets, festi- vals, events, and adventures that led this small family all over Washington and Oregon. In 1995 her fi rst grandson was born. She was very excited to be in the room when he was born. In 1999 and 2000, two more grandsons joined the clan. She loved her grandsons very much and talked about them often. She loved to travel to warm destina- tions. One of her favorite family trips was to visit Baja, California, to vaca- tion with her Auntie and Uncle on the beautiful sandy beach of the Sea of Cortez. She made this trip again a year later. Kathyrn belonged to the Precep- tor Gamma Gamma Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi, where she made many friends and community connections. This is where she met another dear friend, Michelle Allen. She also em- braced her Native American Heritage as could be seen as you walked into her home or spoke with her. After moving to Quartzsite, Arizona in 2006, Kathyrn met her best friend Shelly Cast. The two of them went to Cher and Reba concerts. These two were inseparable! They made many grand memories together. Kathyrn loved the heat of Arizona and felt at home. She enjoyed collecting rocks, Kachina dolls, Native American arti- facts and anything cat.

She had many nephews and nieces, as well as great nephews and nieces she cared deeply about, spread throughout Washington, Oregon, and California.

Before the law was passed, non- resident OHV owners could ride their machines within the state for up to 30 days only if their state had a simi- lar in-state resident decal program. There is no longer a grace period no longer a grace period al- lowing nonresidents to operate with- out an Arizona decal and owners are now required to purchase a decal be- fore operating their machines within the state. Those caught riding without a current decal can be fi ned. Both resident and nonresident OHV de- cals cost $25 (plus a processing fee) and are good for one year from the purchase date. While the resident OHV decal can be purchased at any Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division offi ce or at www.servicearizona.com, the nonresident OHV decal can only be pur- chased online through an Arizona Game and Fish Department portal account, which can be created at www.azgfd.gov by clicking "My Account."
