Ruby's Inn will host hundreds of participants during their 31st annual Bryce Canyon Winter Festival, taking place February 13-15.

ESCALANTE - Friday's packed game was a heart breaker for the Moquis. This tense game went into double overtime with many hotly contested calls. Ray Jay Knight was a quick footed, ball stealing madman on the court and almost brought the place down when he fouled out. The Moquis fought hard and played well, but in the end the Valley Buffaloes took the game. It was a very exciting homecoming game and the crowd was with the Moquis through all the ups and downs.

BRYCE CANYON CITY - Historic Ruby’s Inn is getting ready to welcome hundreds of visitors this February for a weekend of adventure, learning and sightseeing at the 31st annual Bryce Canyon Winter Festival.

“This time of year is really spectacular at Bryce Canyon,” said Falyn Owens, executive director of the tourism office for Bryce Canyon Country.

“Winter visitors have so many options from cross-country skiing, to snowshoeing, to horsedrawn sleigh rides.”

The winter tradition takes place over President's Day weekend, Feb. 13-15, and allows participants the rare op-

portunity of visiting a snowcapped Bryce Canyon. The towering red rock spires and contrasting white snow combine to create stunning scenery in the giant natural amphitheater.

“The Winter Festival has always been one of our most popular events,” said Jean Seiler, director of marketing for Ruby’s Inn. “This year is extra exciting because it coincides with our centennial celebrations.”

In addition to familyowned Ruby’s Inn marking its 100th anniversary, the National Park Service is also celebrating its cen-

tennial throughout the year.

The Winter Festival will serve as a kick off to the many special events being planned at Winter Festival Cont'd on page 3

The Zika Virus: What You Should Know What is Zika?

• Zika is a virus related to dengue, yellow fever, and West Nile virus.

How is it spread?

• Zika is spread to humans primarily by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. This species is rarely, if ever, found in most of the United States, including Utah.

What are the symptoms and how dangerous is it?

• Only about 20% of those infected will develop symptoms, which include fever, rash, joint pain, and red eyes. These symptoms usually last from 2-7 days. Zika illness is usually mild and rarely results in hospitalization or death.

• There is suspicion that Zika may cause microcephaly (a birth defect causing an abnormally small head) in infants due to their mothers being infected while pregnant. While this has not been definitively proven and the risk to pregnant women and their unborn children is unknown, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a Global Emergency in order Zika

Finished tapered beeswax candles cool down on their racks while Billy Raen clips off the lower tips for the final finish.

BOULDER – It was a breeze-free winter afternoon with thick blankets of fresh white snow on the ground, and the skies were blue and sunny.

In a small shed, just a few furlongs past the main part of Boulder town and to the left, Mr. Billy Raen, also known as “Boulder Billy” had set up operations for a day of beeswax candle making. He’d called ahead to make sure I was still coming. Since it takes a few hours to get the wax melted, Billy wanted to make sure the plan will still in play.

On a small porch by the small shed nestled into the P-J was a welcoming big block of beeswax. Inside were Billy and the day’s dipping assistant, Allie Anderson, already working on a set of candles.

“Allie is my best dipper of

all time,” said Billy.

The honeyed smell of hot wax and cooling candles was supplemented by happy little red faces and hands, half bundled for the snow, half-unbundled for the warm afternoon sun and the further warmth of the wood stove inside. A group of toddlers (Madison, Leona, Logan, Violet, Kaela and Leilani) and some moms had been invited to participate in candle-making. Though for the toddlers this mostly meant wandering around googly-eyed beneath the dangling drying candles and, as might be expected, digging a small fingernail or two into the warm wax.

Not surprising but still pleasurable is being reminded what a relaxing activity candle making is. It is helpful that Billy has thoughtfully engineered

a system, with candle racks crafted from plans he found on the internet, and a string strung diagonally across the room with loops on it for holding the cooling racks following each dip in the wax pot on the wood stove. Billy makes three sizes of dipped candles, and for each round of candles produced in the small room it is a just a slow gentle swing to collect a rack from the string, dip it into to the wax pot and re-hang it on a loop. Yet there is a skill to creating a good taper—one can’t dip for too long, or the wax you’ve already put on the wick from previous rounds will fall off, and the dip should be smooth and complete from top to bottom for an even finish.

love learning new things and discovering new winter sports to play,” said Lance Syrett, Ruby’s Inn General Manager.

“There are fun opportunities for everyone, no matter what their interests are.”

An addition for 2016 is the free Family Dance held at Ebenezer’s Barn and Grill Saturday night. Syrett anticipates that the dance will be a fun opportunity for winter festival participants to gather together and celebrate the end of the first day of festivities.

Ruby’s Inn is located just outside the gates of Bryce Canyon National Park and provides the closest available lodging. In fact, the winter festival is just one example of the outstanding partnership that exists between the national park and Ruby’s Inn. “The winter festival al-

lows us to welcome guests during this unique time of year for a more personal experience inside the national park,” said Kathleen Gonder, Chief of Interpretation and Visitor Services at Bryce Canyon National Park. “We’ve arranged for our rangers to provide geology talks, guided snowshoe hikes and interactive scientific demonstrations.”

Besides the winter festival competitions, Ruby’s Inn also provides a variety of other adventures that are available to guests all winter season, including an outdoor ice skating rink, horse-drawn sleigh rides, horseback riding and crosscountry skiing.

• Mosquito control efforts in areas where Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are found.

Where is Zika occurring?

• Since the first known Zika outbreak in Micronesia (2007), locally-acquired Zika infections were first detected in the Americas in May 2015. Local infections have now been reported in over 20 countries or territories in the region. Brazil remains the epicenter of the current outbreak. There have been no local mosquito-acquired cases reported in the United States.

How will the United States be affected?

• With Zika outbreaks in other countries, cases among U.S. travelers will likely increase for a period of time.

However, it is unlikely that any large Zika outbreaks will occur in the United States. All current U.S. cases were infected during

travel overseas, except one who was infected in Texas through sexual transmission by a partner who had traveled to South America.

Is there a Zika vaccine?

• No, however there are cooperative efforts being started to develop a vaccine, which may take from several years.

• While the WHO has not recommended any travel restrictions at this time, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has advised pregnant women to postpone travel to affected areas. Women who are trying to become pregnant should consult with their doctor before such travel and should follow strict mosquito bite prevention methods.

How is Zika prevented?

• If you travel to a country where Zika is active, you can prevent mosquito bites by using insect repellent , wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants, and removing standing water where mosquitoes live and breed.

Review of School Closures Procedures In light of the surrounding districts decision to close schools because of weather conditions, I felt it would be beneficial to review with the patrons, Garfield County School District procedures and expectations regarding this process. In GCSD, schools will be open on all regularly scheduled school days unless circumstances create health or safety issues.

We fully expect our schools to be open and functioning normally throughout the winter, but weather conditions can vary greatly in different communities. We encourage parents to make attendance decisions for their children based on their specific ability to get to school safely.

Additionally, if your contact information has recently changed, please contact your local school with the current information. This will enable the school and/or the district to notify you in the event of a late start, early release, or closure through our parent link.

Again, we fully expect

our schools to be open, but we will notify parents if that changes. If you don’t hear anything, you can safely assume your school is open. If you are concerned about your child’s ability to safely travel to school, please exercise your parental discretion to make the decision that is best for your family.

If severe weather conditions or other events force a school closure, delayed start, or early release, the following procedures will be implemented.

• Announcements: We will notify parents via the news media, the district website, district social media through Facebook at facebook.com/GarfieldSchools and Twitter @GarfieldSchools., Parent Link (phone call) and possibly email, and text in the event of a delayed start, early release, or closure.

Also if decision is made to close schools we will contact 100.5 FM and request for them to broadcast the information. If you hear nothing,

you can assume your school is open. Parents and employees should listen to news media outlets for information. Authorization will come from the superintendent or his/her designee.

• Length: All school closures, delayed starts, or early releases are for one day only.

• Normal Operation: No announcement means schools are open and regular schedules will be followed.

• Emergency Plan: Parents are encouraged to create an emergency plan for their students. Parents should plan with their students where to go or what to do if a parent is not home and schools are closed, delayed, or dismissed early. In the event of an early release, elementary and middle school students will be held at school until parents or guardians are notified and arrangements are made to keep the students safe.

Garfield County School District Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Child Find Notification

In accordance with Part B requirements of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act 04 and with the Utah State Board of Education Special Education Rules, Garfield County School District offers free assessments and evaluation for children, aged birth through 21 whose parents, teachers, or others suspect of having an identifiable disability.

Garfield School District is committed to ensuring that those students are identified, located, and evaluated, regardless of the severity of the disability, to identify if the student is in need of special education and related services. This child find requirement and practice also applies to those students enrolled in private schools.

Big Wins for Ladies and Cats The Boys and Girls basketball teams have been flirting with that 100 point mark all season and the Bob Cats finally reach it, against the Water Canyon Team out of Colorado City. This game did not count in the standings, so it wasn’t put in the Dessert News so I could not get the box scores. At the end of the 3rd quarter the Cats had scored 70 points and Coach Barney put in the subs, to keep the score down. But everything that they threw went into the basket, three pointers, inside shots, just anything and everything went in. Everyone on the team ended up in the score book and the Cats ran off 103 points. I ask Frank if he could remember a team ever scoring that many points and he said “No”. Someone said that back in 1974 it was done, a little before my time, so you will have to check it out.

The Cats went over to Parowan on Friday night and it was Jace Eyre’s and Trey Barney’s night. Between the two of them they scored 43 of the Cats 49 points. Jace had 24 and Trey got hot in the second half and came away with 19. The Cats showed the Rams what it was like to play in 1A sports taking the game 49 to 31.

The Cats had a tough game last Tuesday night against Piute, Piute took it to Bryce Valley and beat them by 2 points. This put PHS and BV in a tie for first place. The following week they meet up with Valley on the 16th here

and then over to Wayne on the 18th for their final game.

On Thursday night the Lady Cats went over to meet up with the Bryce Valley Mustang’s. It was senior night and the Mustang’s came to play, the Mustang’s are ranked second in state and they played a real tough defense on the Cats inside game, forcing the girls to shoot outside and nothing would go in. The game was tied at half time at 19. The Mustang’s outscored the Ladies 12 to 4 in the 3rd quarter and at the last 6 minutes the Cats trailed by 13. But they put on a full court press and really hounded the Mustangs, cutting the score down to 3 points at the 2 minute mark.

But alas one of the BV girls sunk a 3 pointer and that ended the rally. The Cats fell to the Mustangs 49 to 38. This was the first loss by the Lady

Cats to a 1A team in almost three years, quite a record.

The Region tournament starts tonight and I believe the game starts at 7:00 and it will be at the new Richfield high school Gym. If all goes well they will play on Friday night at 7:30.

The Tough guy wrestlers took 3rd at region at Juab High. They had some really great performances: Jonah Shoppe @ 106 and Kelton Cropper @195 took 1st place, Zack Julander @ 120, Colton Owens @ 126, Kaden Beckstead @ 113, Kellen Mooney @160, and Tyler Bagely @ 132 Took 2nd.

Some Trust Disputes Cost More Than Probate

by JeFFery J. MCKenna

Many people use trusts to achieve specific estate planning goals. Such trusts are designed to save money by avoiding probate fees and delays, and by deferring or reducing estate taxes. For example, a revocable "living trust" can avoid the cost and delays associated with probate. A will or living trust may also create a separate trust when one spouse dies, in order to shield up a significant portion of the estate from later estate taxes.

Such trusts are designed to save money by avoiding probate fees and delays, and by deferring or reducing estate taxes.

But if there are disputes about the management of the trust, litigation can be very expensive. Trust litigation may also take longer than probate to uncover mismanagement or theft, thus reducing the odds of recovering lost property.

Normally, a trustee (the person administering the trust) is not subject to court supervision. However, a trustee or beneficiary may initiate a court action. The court can compel the trustee to account for the trust's assets and income, or to change investment and distribution policies to conform to the trust's instructions. In some circumstances, a court can replace the trustee, dissolve the trust, or make other changes to resolve problems.

Trust disputes can have different causes. A trustee may decide to pay himself a high fee, or may distribute trust property in a way that conflicts with the trust instructions. A beneficiary may want more money distributed, or may

object that the trustee's investment strategy is too risky (or too conservative). Or a trustee may conceal information, so beneficiaries worry about possible mismanagement or theft.

There are many problems that can arise from trust administration. Adult children are often concerned about the management of a "living trust" by a step-parent after a parent has died. The children are concerned, yet they are uncomfortable insisting that the stepparent provide information, especially if the step-parent is entitled to all income during his or her lifetime. The result may be resentment, alienation, and a loss of family harmony.

Many problems can be avoided by making sure all family members understand their rights and receive adequate information about the trust's management. Ideally, information should be shared before either parent dies.

If the beneficiaries are well-informed, they can more easily express any concerns about the trust's administration to the trustee, who can then act quickly to address those concerns properly without the need for lawsuits.

There are ways to set up trusts and trustee provisions to minimize future problems and conflicts, and to prevent family disharmony. Much can be done to set up estate plans to ensure that trust assets will be managed wisely and fairly. An experienced estate planning attorney can suggest innovative solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems.

I work in a nursing home, and one morning I was helping a gentleman who was particularly hard to wake get ready for breakfast. As I coaxed him to sit up, he fixed his twinkling blue eyes on my face and said, "My, you're pretty! Have I asked you to marry me yet?"

"No you haven't," I replied.

"Good," he said, "because I could not put up with this every morning!"

Cheese Burger

A horse walked into a restaurant and ordered a welldone cheeseburger with onions, pickle, relish, ketchup, and mustard.

The waiter brought the food to the horse, who finished it off with great pleasure.

Noticing a cowboy staring at him as he ate, the horse said, "I suppose you think it's strange that a horse should come into a restaurant and order a well-done cheeseburger with onions, pickle, relish, ketchup, and mustard."

"Not at all," the cowboy said. "I like it that way myself."

Speeding?

A man was driving when a traffic camera flashed. He thought his picture was taken for exceeding the speed limit, even though he knew he was not speeding.

Just to be sure, he went around the block and passed the same spot, driving even more slowly, but again the camera flashed. He thought this was quite funny, so he slowed down even further as he drove past the area, but the traffic camera flashed yet again. He tried a fourth time with the same result.

The fifth time he was laughing when the camera flashed as he rolled past at a snail's pace..

A week later, he got five traffic fine letters in the mail for driving without a seat belt.

FYI PANGUITCH

OBITUARIES Ferriland Ruesch

TROPIC - Our dear mother, Ferriland Hatch Ruesch, 90, passed away on February 5, 2016 at her home in Tropic, Utah.

We know she is reunited with her loving husband, John Orlan Ruesch. Together they had six children: Geri (Dave) Munford, Peggy Tebbs, Layne Ruesch (deceased), John (Janice) Ruesch, Renon (Rick) Bybee, and Kim (Chris) Hansen. She had 30 grandchildren, 31 greatgrandchildren and 15 great-great-grandchildren.

Mom was a spunky, vivacious woman who loved her family and life in general. She enjoyed all types of crafts. The joy of creating kept her mind sharp and youthful.

Her favorite pastime was traveling. Mom, Dad and their traveling companions, Uncle Dorr and Aunt Norma Hatch, traveled all over the western United States. If they found a dirt road along the way they would explore that as well. Mom and Dad worked in the tourist business for most of their lives and they always felt it a treat to be a tourist themselves. They lived in four different states until finally making Tropic their home again. They had a strong testimony of the LDS Church and attended the temple often in their later years until their health made it too difficult.

Mom was born May 13, 1925 in Tropic, to John Henry Jr. and Ethel Reynolds Hatch, the 11th child in a family of 13. She was also preceded in death by her parents; Peggy’s husbands: Frank Pitts and Blaine Tebbs; grandson, Kim Munford; and all of her siblings, except her younger sister, Beverly Wright. Coming from such a large family gave her spunk and a teasing sense of humor. We will miss her dearly and our April Fool’s Days will not be near as fun.

Funeral services will be held Friday, February 12, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. in the Tropic LDS Ward Chapel where friends may call from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Burial will be in the Tropic Cemetery.

February 11, 2016

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Last Monday’s storm was a real old time Utah snow storm. I’ve heard there was between 14” and 18”of the white stuff. The problem was that the wind was blowing and as quick as you got the snow shoveled, the wind covered it up. We had to go down to St. George for a doctors appointment and on the way back going over 20 the snow was on the road and we were wondering where the plows were. However we caught up with the plow down a couple of miles and as fast as he was cleaning the wind blew it back on the road. Our snow plowing crews are the best anywhere, on our way down the road (still on 20) to Saint George it was clear all of the way to the top, but on the other side the snow was so deep that we drove down the hill at about 20 miles an hour. The winter seems to be over and none too soon for those that have to work out in it. The temperature in Saint George today is around 70 degree and here it is supposed to be 57, so watch out for all the melted snow, cause it is still going to freeze at night.

Last month the job growth was down a little to 189,000 new jobs created and the unemployment has dropped down below 5%, for the first time since 2001. Since 2010, 14 million new jobs have been created. With the low

employment figures the job market has to pay more out in wages to retain their employees. Wall Mart has lost so many workers that this February they raised up their new hires wages to $10.50 an hour.

They gave their other workers a 2 ½$ raise. After training an employee and you don’t pay them, they will move on for more money.

We have two really great teachers that are calling an end to remarkable careers.

Marilyn Marshall has been with the elementary school for 25 years. She worked wonders with the small kids and prepared them in the skills to be successful all through their school years. Frank (the motivator) Houston has decided to call it a day after 29 years as a teacher. Frank was involved with the kids long before he started teaching, in all he has spent 43 years working with the wrestlers and athletics.

Frank has won many awards over the years and still works out with the team. Teachers like Marilyn and Frank can’t be replaced with all of their experience and teaching abilities. Good luck to both of you, you are a real asset to the youth in our community, thank you both.

My granddaughter graduated in the class of 2006 and only three teachers remain from that time, her mother Shawn Caine, Ryan Hous-

ton and Ms Chid. Her teachers were: Janis Henrie, Ms Eastwood, Marilyn Marshall, Marilyn Buckley and Craig Barney at the Elementary school. At Middle School it was Sheryl Henrie, Frank Houston, Shawn Caine, and Ms Chid. The teachers at the High School were Debbie Pollock, John Gillett, Ryan Houston and many Science teachers. All of these teachers prepared many of the students in the class of 2006 (as well as the years before and after), to go on to higher education.

Mrs. Rember and Janis Hatch gave the teachers the tools to make Panguitch the #1 Educational school two years in a row. Good teachers are hard to find and the schools in Panguitch have had and still have awesome teachers that raise the bar in education.

From the SLC Tribune: A lie can travel half way around the world, before the truth can get its shoes on. This comment is from the 1800s, so you can imagine how fast it can get around at this time. These lies are so brazenly told, so as the truth cowers, covering the little voice telling us that the evidence and the facts don’t matter.

Mine and my wife’s social life sure rotates around the sports programs at our schools. So to all those coaches and support people that give our kids the confidence, skills and the desire to participate in all the activities our many thanks to you. You are the cream of the crop!

Love thy neighbor as thy self.

Teresa Larson of Cannonville is looking for someone to help her learn how to work out and to be able to cook in a healthier way. She says it is so easy to keep going to the old recipes and would love to learn some new and healthier ways to prepare food for her family. It can be a struggle at the grocery store looking for these healthier foods that are tasteful for her family. If you can or know anyone who would like to help then please message me on Facebook and she will be willing to pay for your time.

Bet there are others out there that would enjoy learning the same things.

Spend Presidents Day weekend in Bryce Canyon country as historic Ruby’s Inn hosts the “Bryce Canyon Winter Festival,” Feb. 13-15, featuring running and kayaking clinics, crafts, dancing, horsedrawn sleigh rides and more.

Now in its 31st year, the festival has evolved from its early years into the signature event that it is today. Lance Syrett, the resort level hotel general manager for Ruby’s Inn, said that, not only does the festival celebrate the season, but the Inn itself, which marks its centennial this year. While the event is highlighted by popular winter activities such as snowshoeing, cross-country ski and biathlon races and snow sculptures, Syrett said it isn’t entirely about snow. Other activities include yoga classes, leather journal binding, pottery clinics,

photography clinics, cookie decorating and archery. Learn how to fatbike — also known as “snow biking” —and attend a presentation about birds all in one fun-filled weekend.

The majority of the festival is free, although some activities and vendors may vary in price.

Guests must register in-person for each activity they wish to participate in. A full schedule of events can be found online, and more information is available by calling 866-866-6616.

Go away for a few days and come home to a snow storm we have all been waiting for. Yes even me, the person who thinks 5 flakes of snow is

a blizzard. It was unbelievable to see so much snow and now a few days later the darn white stuff is melting away. Could not believe the cars off the road coming down I-15. One truck we saw was completely smashed. I think the semi trucks were going way too fast because as they passed the cars on the freeway they covered us in slush and mud. It was terrible and unbelievable. I am so glad we made it to Richfield safely. I hope all of you out there were safe and warm in this storm. You can look on facebook and see all kinds of pictures of the snow left behind on, in and over things everywhere. It was a lot of snow.

This was posted earlier but I am sending it in anyway.

February 11, 2016 Candles

Cont'd from page 1

The task requires attention, but not a lot of thought, so there’s room for conversation.

“So the biggest thing about the bee story that we need to put in is that a bee must visit at least 10 flowers to gather one drop of nectar,” said Billy. “That is a lot of visits because there’s only so much nectar in the flowers. It takes 10 drops of nectar to make one drop of honey. And it takes 10 drops of honey to make one drop of beeswax. That is why honey is so medicinal because it has gathered so much of the pollens and nectars from these flowers—it’s a lot of work for those little bees.”

Since my previous job involved agricultural research I wanted to know just how much a drop was—is that an actual measurement? Billy gave me a screwed up look, so I decided to just go with it.

From there, Billy waxed poetic about candles.

“So when you think about Valentine’s Day and wanting to give someone some ‘love energy,’ you can’t get any more grand than a beeswax candle. That is a huge beautiful part of what we’re doing here and these candles we’re dipping right now I’m going to bring to the Valentine’s show at the Escalante Showhouse.

We’ll have 100 beeswax candles burning. It’s a candlelight dinner in celebration of ‘the love.’”

He continued. “Right now we’re working on menorah-sized candles. The menorahs are my favorites. Because they burn just the right amount of time for one beautiful night.

Say you are going to make a romantic dinner. You burn this much during prepping, this much during eating, this much during cleanup, and then…this much for something else.”

At this point Allie and I rolled our eyes at each other.

I had to ask, since beeswax candles are more expensive than paraffin candles-which are literally a fraction of the cost—what’s the point in using them?

Billy described how paraffin candles are made from a byproduct of the petroleum industry, and fill the air in your house with toxic sooty crud when burned and are even worse for you than secondhand smoke. (I found plenty of corroboration for this argument when digging a little deeper.) He said that pure beeswax candles burn cleanly and actually emit negative ions into the air--negative ions have been shown to cleanse pollutants from the air and are known to promote feelings of well-being.

“Plus,” he added, “it’s good to burn your beeswax candles because we live in such a mechanized and powerBV News

A block of beeswax. driven world. You can just shut everything down a little bit and burn a candle. It’s peaceful.”

Billy’s connection to bees, honey and wax began while working in California, in Nevada City, about eight years ago, for a place called Honey in the Heart Farm. They had 750 hives, largely working in and around almond orchards. “I was all about beekeeping and honey and I thought the whole bee world was really awesome, and lo and behold when you get into bees you start to get into flowers. What flowers are blooming, and where is the nectar flowing. So many different flowers--almonds, starthistle, alfalfa—which makes great honey. Prior to that time I thought flowers were for girls and I was ‘Billy’ and I was not a girl. So it opened my eyes up to flowers. It’s another story of our land that became important to me because you needed to know where the bees needed to be. Bees are healthier if they have access not just to pollen but to nectar,” he said.

Moving towards the present, Billy says his current wax supply was obtained on a trade for a musical gig. Billy plays numerous instruments and was trained at the New England Conservatory in Boston, studying violin. He’d been invited to Wyoming to play for a company Christmas party, and half of his payment was in beeswax. “They gave me 200 pounds, and that was a smokin’ deal and that kind of got me started again,” he said.

Billy says that for him, making candles is a nice sign that the seasons have changed.

New Animal Control Ordinances are set to benefit the community. Many calls have been received regarding dogs running loose in town, wandering onto peoples properties, chasing sheep, chickens, tipping over garbage cans, chasing children on bikes and following after people as they walk. Your own dog may be harmless, but many residents and visitors to the area do not know that and are leery when approached. Help from you is needed to keep your dog(s) fenced or housed within your property. Another thing is to purchase a license for your animal. Spayed or Neutered is $10; Non spayed or neutered is $35. Licensing not only identifies your dog and assist in returning your pet to you. If you would like you can get a copy of this ordinance at the Tropic Town Office or on the Town's

website: townoftropicut.gov for your review.

There have also been increases in the water and sewer services charges. Residential Monthly Base Rate is water $24 and sewer $24 with a $2 Road/Drainage Fee which is a full total of $50. Commercial Monthly Base Rate is water $48 and sewer $48 with a $2 Road/Drainage fee for a total of $98. You can also find out more on this ordinance at the Town office or onlline.

The Veteran's Memorial is being removed from it's existing place and being relocated on the grounds of the Heritage Center with flags representing the five branches of the Armed Forces along with names of those who served from our community will be displayed.

The well known and often used Tropic Scout House was

built in 1936. The structure is deteriorating and becoming a safety hazard. The future of this structure is up for discussion and the Council is asking for the public's input for solutions. A public meeting will be held.

Lastly but absolutely not least the Council is asking you to PLEASE SLOW DOWN in town but especially around the school zones. The "School Zone" is from BV Elementary School on 500 West and Bryce Way and Past the High School to 50 South. Law Enforcement is patrolling and will issue tickets for violating the law.

These above items on Tropic Town Council were also sent out by the Council to the town's citizens but are willing to answer any questions you may have at the Town Office.

Hope you all have a safe and healthy week. Please call or email your news to me now that I am back in town. Thanks VS

See Bald Eagles in Southern Utah

sCott root, dwr

You can see bald eagles at several viewing sites. Bald Eagle Day is Feb. 13.

CEDAR CITY - If you’ve ever seen a bald eagle in the wild, you know it’s an experience that can take your breath away.

On Feb. 13, you’ll have a chance not only to see bald eagles, but to learn more about them. The Division of Wildlife Resources will hold its annual Utah Bald Eagle Day that day.

Bald Eagle Day is free.

You can see eagles at five locations across the state. Viewing times vary depending on the viewing site you visit: Southern Utah Rush Lake Ranch, located on the Minersville highway (SR-130) about 12 miles north of Cedar City.

Viewing will take place from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m.

Bob Walters, Watchable Wildlife coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources, says spotting scopes will be available at each viewing

site so you can get a good look at the eagles. “Biologists and volunteers will also be on hand to help you spot the eagles and answer your questions,” he says.

You can also pick up a Bald Eagle Day button. Handouts and information about bald eagles, wildlife watching and birding opportunities in Utah will also be available.

The button and information are free.

The best time to see eagles on Feb. 13 depends on what’s most important to you: staying as warm as possible or seeing more eagles!

If staying warm is most important, attend late in the morning or early in the afternoon. Walters says the warmer temperatures during this time of the day are especially important if you bring young children with you.

afternoon is also the best time to get a clear view of the eagles.

If you want to see the greatest number of eagles— with fairly good light conditions and reasonably warm temperatures—attend between 2 and 4 p.m.

After 4 p.m., eagles at many of the viewing locations will start flying to trees to roost for the night.

“If you want to see the greatest number of eagles,” Walters says, “mid to late afternoon, before the eagles fly to their roost sites, is usually the best time to attend.” f you attend Bald Eagle Day, dress in warm clothes and bring waterproof boots.

Also, if you want to take photos of the eagles, bring a telephoto lens.

“The eagles will be a fair distance from the viewing areas,” Walters says.

Walters started Bald Eagle Day to introduce people to Utah’s wildlife. “I started Bald Eagle Day because I wanted to make people aware of the wildlife around them,” he says. “I wanted to whet their appetite to see more.”

Since it began, Bald Eagle Day has become Utah’s most well attended, and one of its most enjoyed, wildlifeviewing events.

“I think the event is still accomplishing its purpose,” he says.

For more information about Bald Eagle Day, call Walters at 801-209- 5326, or Division of Wildlife Resources offices in Ogden, Springville, Vernal or Cedar City.

Utah Gets Mixed Grades on Tobacco-Control Programs SALT LAKE CITY - The American Lung Association says Utah does a good job of protecting its citizens from secondhand smoke, but rates poorly in other areas of tobacco control. In a recent report, Utah received an "F" in both smoking prevention and programs to help smokers quit, and a "D" for how it taxes tobacco. JoAnna Strother, director of public policy for the American Lung Association of the Southwest, says Utah gets an "A" for keeping the air smoke-free. "They're doing really great on the smoke-free air," says Strother. (contd.) Podcast and entire story available: http://www.newsservice.org/index.php —Utah News Connection

Sharing Money Problems with Kids by nathanIel sIllIn

Kids are surprisingly resilient in the face of a crisis.

But even so, serious family money troubles can potentially affect a young person's home life, education and outlook on money management down the road.

While my wife and I don't have kids, children under the age of 10 who are particularly mature – and particularly observant – often can immediately pick up on a parent's stress over money or other issues.

How can you be honest about your finances with a child under the age of 18 without spreading confusion or stress? The American Psychological Association points out (http://www.apa.org/helpcenter/children-economy.aspx) that kids can often deal with a crisis fairly well but most aren't yet keenly aware of tension in the household. When sharing money problems with your kids, here are a few ideas from the APA and other resources you can use: • Tell the truth, but watch how you tell it. You want to spare your child from hardship and worry, but it's important not to say things are great when they're clearly not. Try to explain in brief but truthful detail about what's happening and leave time for questions.

Any child, no matter how sophisticated, can become worried if his or her parents reveal extreme fear about money concerns. Keep in mind there's a great opportunity in these conversations to understand your child's thoughts and attitudes. Make it a kind, un-

derstanding conversation, and listen for clues.

Keep the discussion ageappropriate. Teens may be more aware of general financial circumstances because they can spot different behavior at home or because their friends' parents might be going through similar circumstances. However, younger kids generally have less knowledge and experience to process what's going on.

Tell kids what they need to know, but don't overload them with information.

Set an example. It may be difficult, but demonstrate grace under pressure. Be calm and reasoned. If you are looking for work, discuss that with your children and even share what that process is like. Remember, kids learn by example. If they see their parents dealing sensibly with adversity no matter how long it takes to right the ship, that's a very important lesson.

Communicate behaviors that they will need to learn if they're going to successfully deal with money problems as adults.

Introduce or reinforce money lessons. Whatever the problem, reinforce smart spending and savings behavior no matter what the child's age. However old they are, (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/EducateKids/) kids should get regular lessons in the relationship between money and the things in their life.

Make it educational. Communicate behaviors that

kids will need to successfully manage money in the future. Whatever the problem, reinforce smart spending and saving behavior no matter what the child's age. Teaching kids about money can be fun by introducing educational games.

The Practical Money Skills website offers a collection of games (http://www. practicalmoneyskills.com/ games/) kids can play to learn how to save money.

Talk to them about important financial concepts such as budgeting – and bring them to life using real-life examples like planning an affordable family vacation or outing.

• Introduce the emergency fund. One of the essential building blocks of personal finance, the emergency fund exists to protect savings and keep borrowing to a minimum. Older children might embrace the value of an emergency fund as a way to offset the financial loss of a lost bike or smartphone or some other personal item. For adults, the general rule of thumb on emergency funds is to have

at least three to six months of savings on hand in case of a lost job or expensive repair. The key is to talk with the teen about the parallel financial risks in their lives that might benefit from the existence of emergency savings.

• Focus on things more important than… things. Parents can use a tough financial stretch to focus on the positive, such as time spent enjoying family, friends and pets, which doesn't cost much at all. Good health and healthy behaviors are essential elements of correcting problems, overcoming tough times and living a full life. In short, use this moment in time to help your child put money in the proper perspective.

Bottom line: A money crisis can truly test the strength of a family. Should you find yourself in a financial bind, use it to teach your kids some very important money lessons.
