Hwy 12 Route from Panguitch to Torrey Confirmed for Tour of Utah Stage 2 on Tuesday, August 5 Six Teams Confirmed for 10th Edition of “America’s Toughest Stage RaceTM”
Last year’s Tour of Utah drew excited crowds at the starting gate in Panguitch and at Torrey’s finish line (shown above) and at towns and viewpoints all along U.S. Highway 12. SALT LAKE CITY – Along with the expansion to seven full days of racing this August, the Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah professional cycling event will broaden its geographical footprint to 12 host cities and venues across two western states. At a press conference last week on the campus of University of Utah, organizers of the Tour of Utah announced three first-time venues for the 10th anniversary of the event, including an inaugural expansion beyond the borders of Utah. This year’s weeklong sporting event will extend from the red rock spires of Cedar City in southern Utah to the peaks of the Uinta Mountains outside Evanston, Wyoming. The 2014 Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah will take place August 4-10, sanctioned by both USA Cycling and the UCI (Union Cycliste Interna-
tionale). Known as “America’s Toughest Stage RaceTM”, the Tour of Utah annually features more than 600 miles of racing and 38,000 feet of climbing. The Tour of Utah continues to be sanctioned by the UCI as one of the top professional cycling events in North America, a 2.1-rated UCI American Tour stage race. Six of the 16 professional cycling teams have already accepted invitations to race this summer. Five of these are ProTeams, which traditionally race at the prestigious Tour de France: Belkin-Pro Cycling Team (The Netherlands), BMC Racing Team (USA), Team Garmin-Sharp (USA), ORICA GreenEDGE (Australia), Trek Factory Racing (USA). An additional early confirmation comes from Jelly Belly presented by Maxxis (USA), a UCI Continental team which
includes the reigning four-time men’s U.S. National Road Cycling Champion, Fred Rodriguez. “Each year the Tour of Utah has the opportunity to break new ground by showcasing the sport to different parts of the state, and our selection of host cities and venues in 2014 is no exception. The addition of a seventh day of racing allows us to expand to new territories like Powder Mountain and Evanston, Wyoming, as well as build upon the tremendous racing we experienced in southern Utah last year and our traditional finish in Park City. We are genuinely excited to bring the Tour of Utah to these communities and thank them for supporting the race,” said Steve Miller, president of Tour of Utah Cont’d on page 2
Summer Sun Comes Out of Its Winter Home at Parowan Gap PAROWAN GAP – Before ground hogs and modernday calendars, ancient people used the movement of the Sun through uniquely aligned rock formations to tell them of the changing seasons. One such observation at the Parowan Gap is that of the Summer Sun coming out of its Winter home during the first part of March. During the winter, as the morning sun rises and crosses the sky, it passes behind the rock outcropping profile of the Overseer and the mountain. But, then in February, the Overseer suddenly spits the sun out of his mouth and into the Gap opening. Thus signaling his people that the Summer Sun has come out of its Winter home, and that warm weather will soon be coming. The public is invited to watch this phenomenon on Saturday morning, February 8th at the Parowan Gap. An interpretive tour inside the Gap will be given for those
who come at 7:30 a.m. The sun rises at 7:30 a.m. and it takes about 30 minutes for the sun to move behind the rock outcropping. The observation will start around 8:00 a.m. with the Overseer spitting out the sun shortly thereafter. It takes about 10 minutes for the process to complete, said Nancy Dalton, Parowan Gap interpreter and Parowan Heritage Foundation Board Member. The narrow passage through the Parowan Gap was formed over millions of years ago by the shifting of earth plates. The rock formations along the Gap faces were carved by wind, sand and water, and naturally align with the rotation of the earth around the sun, as well as the rotations of the moon and other planets around the earth. The Gap was discovered by ancient people as a natural calendar system to observe solar, lunar and other astrological
events. These observations were etched into the walls of the Gap as petroglyphic symbols to guide current and future people. Those attending the observation event are encouraged to bundle up and dress warm as early morning temperatures are forecasted to be 32 degrees or colder. This site is a primitive site with no water or restroom facilities available. The Parowan Gap is located about 13 miles northwest of Parowan or 19 miles north of Enoch on public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The observation event is co-hosted by Parowan Heritage Foundation and Cedar City-Brian Head Tourism Bureau. For more information, contact Dalton at 435.463.3735. —Cedar City/Brian Head Tourism Bureau

Wayne County Jeep Posse/Search and Rescue Honors Sherwood Albrecht by Ashlee Lyman
Sherwood Albrecht “at the ready” in his Jeep, which includes a Wayne County Jeep Posse insignia on the side. BICKNELL - On January 25, members of the Search and Rescue of Wayne County presented Sherwood Albrecht with a plaque honoring him for his years of service. Sherwood is the last living life member--and an original founder--of Wayne County’s Jeep Posse, which is today known as the Wayne County Search and Rescue. Jeep Posses sprang up around the country, particularly in the western United States, during the post-World War II years, making use of the surplus WWII Jeeps that became available after the war. Wayne County’s Jeep Posse began in 1963 and received their charters from the Utah State and National Jeep Posses in later years. It was a volunteer organization dedicated to serving the needs of citizens in the Wayne County and surrounding areas. Sherwood Albrecht served in the Wayne County Jeep Posse as Commander for seven years, also serving as First Lieutenant, Second Lieutenant, and Secretary in other years. During the first years of the organization all members donated their own materials, such as medical supplies, radios, trucks, gas, and above all, time. Each volunteer painted their truck—or Jeep--red in order to represent
membership of the Jeep Posse. There was no meeting hall in the beginning years of the Jeep Posse, so members would meet at each other’s homes, on occasion at the court house, and a few times at the Brimhall house located in Capitol Reef National Park. Over time, the Jeep Posse members decided to erect a building in Bicknell in 1970. The active members went out on Boulder Mountain and cut logs, sawed them at Charlie Torgerson’s sawmill, and began their project. Property was donated by the Wyllie family, and materials such as cinderblocks were purchased with money earned from sponsoring dances and holding fundraisers. After the building was constructed the Jeep Posse needed to raise more funds to help with daily building costs, materials, and rescues. Capitol Reef National Park donated the apple harvest for the Jeep Posse to sell to raise money for their infrastructure and operations. For the whole year, Alvin and Norma Brinkerhoff, Elmer and Elda Johnson, and Sherwood and Renee Albrecht, as well as a few other volunteers picked apples and sold them out of the new building. “We picked apples every time we had a chance.”

Naked people have little or no influence on society. —Mark Twain (1835 - 1910) THE WAYNE & GARFIELD COUNTY INSIDER is owned and operated by Snapshot Multimedia, LLC and is distributed weekly to all of Wayne and Garfield Counties, Utah.

Sherwood recalls, “It seemed there were millions of apples.” Sherwood and Renee Albrecht used their home as the main radio command post for many years. Even after the Jeep Posse meeting hall was built in 1970, the command post remained at the Albrecht home because it needed to be monitored through the night. Following the events of September 11, 2001, Search and Rescue started getting a budget and grants to operate on. Until then, everything was donated or earned through membership fundraisers. Today the Search and Rescue continues to be operated by a team of volunteer men and women who are highly trained in radio use, GPS, map reading, cross country backpacking, high angle rescue, first aid and CPR, SUV backcountry driving, flying and more. They volunteer their time to rescue people each year who get lost, breakdown or get stuck in rugged backcountry terrain in and around the Colorado Plateau. The Search and Rescue meets monthly and continues to hold training sessions in the original Bicknell facility. The Wayne County Search and Rescue members would like to thank Sherwood Albrecht for his lifetime of service. Phone: 435-826-4400 Fax 1-888-370-8546 PO BOX 105 Escalante, Utah 84726 snapshot@live.com

Local Small Business Recognized at State Capitol
It’s Tax Time
EPHRAIM - On January 31, interested citizens from throughout rural Utah gathered at the Utah State Capitol to participate in the annual Rural Legislative Day. The day’s events included messages from Governor Gary Herbert, Lieutenant Governor Spencer Cox and Spencer Eccles, the executive director of Utah’s Governor’s Office of Economic Development. On the Senate floor, Senator Ralph Okerlund (R) paid special tribute to several small businesses that have utilized the services of their local Small Business Development Center (SBDC) office and are making a positive impact on Utah’s economy. Senator Okerlund is the Majority Leader (District 24) and represents constituents from more than one third of Utah’s rural counties: Beaver, Garfield, Juab, Kane, Millard, Piute, Sanpete, Sevier, Wayne counties, as well as Utah County. Afternoon activities focused on a special small business awards ceremony held in the capitol’s Gold Room. Nine small businesses from Ogden to St. George were recognized for their success in starting or growing a small business. Their ventures range from the only full scale reptile food
manufacturer west of the Mississippi (which is a one-man operation of Jeramiah Tangreen in Tooele) to Duke and Jessica Alvey’s cluster of food and hospitality businesses in Hanskville which employ fifty people, fully one-fourth of the population of that community. The inspiring stories of these businesses are found in the Utah SBDC’s “2013 Business Recognition” publication and online at the Utah SBDC website (www.UtahSBDC.org). Alan Christensen, director of the Utah SBDC at Snow College, interviewed most of the small businesses featured and noted two common themes running through nearly all of their stories: First, hard work, and second, the value of pivotal guidance gained from professional business counselors of the Utah SBDC. “It was a pleasure to participate and have a company from our region recognized at this year’s event,” said Christensen. “Duke and Jessica Alvey and all of their employees work hard to make their businesses successful and find great satisfaction in using the success of their ventures as a support for their community’s well-being. For rural communities, that makes a big difference.”
Perhaps the Alvey’s most legendary business venture is “Stan’s Burger Shak” started in 1984 by Duke’s father, Stan Alvey. This is a favorite stop for thousands of travelers each year as they head to Lake Powell. The Alveys have added several other businesses including the town’s Chevron station, Whispering Sands Motel, and Duke’s Slickrock Grill, Campground and RV park. Today, they employ 51 people in a community of 200. They’ve benefitted from a business growth class taught by the SBDC’s Keith Church, as well as other SBDC services such as counseling and “economic gardening” – a specialized program for helping companies capitalize on strategic growth opportunities. When asked about their secret to success, Jessica responded, “When we stopped worrying about saving money and about how well we would do, and instead started focusing on how well our customers, employees and the community would do – that’s when we began to grow.” Small businesses play an important role in both rural and urban settings. Of the nine small businesses recognized three were from more urban parts of Utah. Histori-
cally, small businesses have generated 65% of net new jobs in the U.S. and represent 99 percent of all employers. At the awards ceremony, Sherm Wilkinson, the Utah SBDC state director, pointed out that these nine businesses are representative of many other small businesses the SBDC assists throughout Utah every day. About half of the clients served by the Utah SBDC are individuals with an idea for starting a business, while the other half are existing businesses seeking improvement or growth. In 2013, the Utah SBDC network counseled 2,345 small business clients who started 154 companies. By starting a new business or growing an existing business, clients of the SBDC created 631 jobs in Utah last year. The SBDC is a federal program that allows the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) to partner with the state of Utah and higher education institutions to provide counseling, training and other resources to emerging and existing small businesses.

Tour of Utah
as well as pre-race festivities on the weekend, such as the Team Presentation Event. Stage Two will return for a second consecutive year to the communities that sit adjacent to the majestic red-rock landscapes known as the National Historic District of Utah. Panguitch, the county seat of Garfield County located just northwest of the entrance to Bryce Canyon National Park, will host the day’s start. Torrey, 10 miles west from Capitol Reef National Park, will host the finish. Both communities hosted the Tour of Utah in 2013. Stage Three will lead the race into central Utah, from the high desert of the Utah Valley to the western slopes of the Oquirrh Mountains. The stage start returns to northern Utah County and the Lehi area for a sixth time. This will be a flashback to the early days of the Tour, where the event started in 2004 as the three-day Thanksgiving Point Stage Race and Cycling Festival. The stage finish will be held at Miller Motorsports Park, a state-of-the-art road racing facility in Tooele. This is the sixth year that the Tour has stopped at Miller Motorsports Park, the last visit was in 2012 for a Team Time Trial. Stage Four provides a return to Ogden and Weber County. The start on Thursday will be in downtown Ogden, known world-wide for its high adventure recreation year round.
Ogden will host the Tour for a sixth year; it last hosted two stages in 2012. A new mountain-top finish will be featured at Powder Mountain that day. This is North America’s largest ski area with 7,000 acres of skiable terrain, and is located 19 miles northeast of Ogden in Eden, Utah. Stage Five boasts two new host communities, and the first time the Tour of Utah has traveled to a neighboring state. Picturesque Evanston is located 25 miles from the Utah border, and the race will navigate through the Uinta Mountains along Mirror Lake Scenic Highway to reach Kamas. The community of Kamas has seen the Tour pass through the valley in Summit County for the past seven years, several times designated as an official sprint line. The finish for Stage Five will be in Kamas for the first time. Salt Lake City and Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort both return in 2014 to host Stage Six, the seventh consecutive year both venues have hosted the Tour. It is the first time that the two locations will be used together for this epic day of cycling, known as the “Queen Stage.” This is traditionally the day with the most climbing for a single day, close to 10,000 feet of elevation gain, as the Tour heads across the Wasatch Mountains to finish at Snowbird Ski and Summer
Resort. Salt Lake City looks to hold the start on the campus of University of Utah. Saturday’s affair will also serve as the route for The Ultimate Challenge presented by University of Utah Health Care, the official non-competitive, endurance bicycle ride for amateurs held the same day as Stage Six of the Tour of Utah. Last year more than 700 amateur cyclists took part in The Ultimate Challenge. Stage Seven will return to Park City on Sunday, August 10, the third consecutive year for the Stage Start and Overall Finish in this year-round resort town. This is the sixth time Park City has served as a host city for the Tour. Home to three year-round resorts, Park City expects to offer a challenging conclusion to the week-long Tour of Utah, with a final epic climb over Empire Pass. Expect huge crowds to pack Historic Main Street and see the champion crowned for the 2014 Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah for the grand finale. The Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah continues to be free to all spectators, making professional cycling one of the most unique professional sports in the world today.

Miller Sports Properties, which operates the Tour of Utah. Utah is home to five National Parks and seven National Monuments, and is famous worldwide for a vast number of ski resorts with the “Greatest Snow on Earth”. This year’s host cities will allow the Tour of Utah to pass seven ski resorts, four national parks and monuments and several national forests. Details regarding each stage route (race mileage, elevation gain, start/finish times) and spectator festivities will be announced in the coming months. “The Utah Sports Commission has been proud to be involved with the Tour of Utah for 10 years, and see it grow to become a major international cycling event generating significant economic impact and tremendous exposure for Utah,” said Jeff Robbins, president and CEO of the Utah Sports Commission. HOST CITIES/VENUES The Overall Start on Monday, August 4 returns to southern Utah. Cedar City, known as “Festival City, USA,” hosted the finish line for Stage One last year. This summer Cedar City, home to Southern Utah University and the Utah Shakespeare Festival, will host the start and finish for Stage One,
Panguitch Team Wins Garfield TARs Constitution Bowl Three Years in a Row PANGUITCH - A Panguitch High School Team consisting of Conor Anderson, Ian Anderson, Drew Fischer, Jansen Orton, and McKoy Dodds had their third win at the Garfield TARs Constitution Bowl. Bryce Valley eighth grade team took second place, winning over five other teams. Minersville 1 took third place with Minersville 2 taking fourth. This year’s Constitution Bowl consisted of teams from Panguitch High School, Panguitch Middle School, Bryce Valley Middle School, and Minersville Middle School. The day began with opening ceremonies including the pledge of allegiance and the state of Utah pledge. TARs officers conducted and introduced the judges and speaker. Our speaker was Tom Hatch former State Senator from our area. Mr. Hatch spoke to the student body on the Constitution and Natural Law. After he spoke the students began competing. Each team could have five individuals. They were given the questions ahead
of time and asked to study them. The rounds lasted 20 minutes and the team that was ahead at the end of the round was the winner. Each student had the opportunity to answer one question and then toss up questions were given with the student who hit the buzzer first trying to answer the question. Bonus questions were given if the questions were answered correctly. The contest provides
and opportunity for students throughout the area to test their skills and learn a little more about our Constitution. The winning team receives a traveling trophy and $300 cash. Garfield County TARs would like to thank Tom Hatch for speaking to us. They also appreciated Micah Evans and Eric Houston for judging the contest along with the Panguitch High School Sterling Scholars. —Elaine Baldwin

School Notes 2014 Legislative Session With the 2014 Utah Legislature in session, education bills continue to be at the forefront in the number of new proposed bills. As of February 7th, there are 87 education related bills working their way through the Legislature. The bills affecting education have a broad range of impacts and differences. For example, HB 87 titled “Gender Amendments” would require a school district to provide reasonable bathroom accommodations to students consistently asserting gender identity and require local school boards to establish a policy in accordance with this intent. HB 73 “Living Wage Amendments”, would require an increase in the minimum
wage to $10.25 per hour. As we continue to monitor the progress of each of the 87 bills and the impact they may have on Garfield School District, I would like to draw your attention to one bill in particular that could have a very positive impact on the students in Garfield School District. The bill is S.B. 38 sponsored by Senator Ralph Okerlund. This bill basically designates $1.3 million from the State Education Fund to Snow College to establish and administer the Concurrent Enrollment program. If this bill is approved, Snow College would provide all of the classes needed for a student to receive their Associate degree during their high school career. If a student re-
ceives their Associate degree before they graduate, they can receive the “Century Scholarship” which allows the student to receive approximately $20,000 to use toward their Bachelor degree. Garfield School District has the technology in place in each of the three high schools that would allow students to receive the classes from Snow College. I would encourage each of you to become involved in the Legislative process by sending emails or placing phone calls to the Senators and Representative that are sponsoring the bills that may affect you and your students. —Superintendent Ben Dalton

PHS Awards Assembly - Good Luck at Region Wrestles! As we near the upcoming and unexpectedly soon midterm for the third quarter, we find the halls of PHS filled with anticipation, and all of the students and faculty keeping busy for the arrival of warmer weather and hardier schedules. Panguitch sports have yet to slow down, as we began the weekly athletics with an exciting girls game on Tuesday. In what would be their last home game of the season, the girls did not disappoint. After a back and forth game of fast-paced action, and after being down at halftime, our girls rallied back to make everyone in the home crowd proud. On Wednesday, it was the boys turn to take the home court, defending Bobcat territory from the hungry and competitive visiting Diamond-
Backs. Another fast- paced home game brought a roar of approval from an appreciative home crowd, and reminded Panguitch Alumni why our boys are a favorite in this year’s upcoming state tournament. On Thursday, the girls returned to affirmative action, this time loading up the bus and traveling to a riveting and exciting region match. This time, we saw the Valley Buffalos on the opposite side of our girls. It did not seem to make a difference of the opponent, as the girls brought yet another exciting game and showed dominance away from home. The boys basketball team spent their Friday in Escalante. We wish them luck in what is sure to be another exciting exhibition and another point of pride for Bobcat fans everywhere.

Aside from sports, we also had other things to celebrate on Friday, as the Teachers at PHS were able to present and award their most accomplished students for their work in the second quarter. In a 4th hour awards assembly, many certificates (and candy bars) were given to students who had truly done great work. As is tradition with the awards assembly, names were also drawn out at random for other awesome prizes, such as PHS shirts, Arby’s gift cards, and even cash! Our weekend warriors this week include the Boys Basketball team and the Wrestlers, who both have important showdowns on Saturday. For the ballers, they will head to an anticipated matchup against the Valley Buffalos, and look to continue their impressive winning ways. The Wrestlers will look to bring their A game on Saturday, as they make the journey to Wayne for their Region competition. After weeks of preparing, it all comes down to this, the last tournament before state.. - Go get them guys! Donnie Corwin is a senior at Panguitch High School and serves as high school historian.

Penguins Have Taken Over If you haven’t been inside Loa Elementary in the past few weeks you need to go! Second grade students have been studying penguins; each student was assigned a type of penguin to write a report on and create a life size replica! The penguins are on display and look AMAZING, great job students and teachers! In fourth grade news, Mrs. Stacie Ekker’s class has been learning about rocks and minerals. “They are gearing up for an awesome presentation from Ranger Cindy.” said Mrs. Ekker. Students have also been learning how to divide; using the saying “Does McDonald’s Sell Cheese Burgers Down Town” to help them remember the division algorithm: divide, multiply, subtract, check, bring down.

By Cynthia Kimball There’s this Las Vegas Nevada Mission president’s wife. Her name’s Sister Neider. I love her. I met her last year when I heard a story of how she asked her husband, President Neider, for her birthday, to take her to the mall so she could share the gospel. Yeah, you read that right. Save souls, in a mall, on your birthday? Personally, I’m thinking that’s pretty hot. I saw Sister Neider again Saturday night at the Henderson Nevada Anthem Stake Conference and practically sprinted to her (even though I’d recently seen her in our ward for a Member Missionary Conference). “Sister Neider, its Sister Kimball!” We hugged. “Someday a man of God will take me to the mall on my birthday so that I can preach the gospel just like you!” We laughed. “You know, I’m 50, so I’m thinking 45-55 range, what do you think?” “45,” she smiled with a wink. In her Saturday evening talk she alluded to Elder Neil A. Anderson’s talk, “It’s a Miracle,” most specifically when he said, “If you’re not a full-time missionary with a missionary badge pinned on your coat, now is the time to paint one on your heart-painted, as Paul said, ‘not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God.’” (LDS.org, 2014). Do you have the spirit? Are you on fire? Can people feel something when they’re around you? Do they want to know what it is that makes you tick? Do you feel the power of
Save Yourself by Living the Gospel 100% in Word & Action
the spirit from the light, truth and knowledge that comes from living the gospel? Does it bring you happiness? If not, why not? What do you need to be doing better or differently? And then President Neider, alluding to his wife, when talking about missionary work, said, “Be brave, be friendly. Sister Neider teaches me all the time. Invite and let them respond.” I watched the love and respect President Neider had for his wife when he was not only speaking about her, but when he was watching her speak. He was smiling as he was listening to her. Frequently, he would turn and look at her. Similarly, Sister Neider did the former and latter toward him. “Wow, they are a team,” I thought. They inspire, love and help each other. “Not only that, they’re so on fire in the gospel that they’re contagious to one another.” Later, church leader, Christoffel Golden, of South Africa, said things like, “We want every soul on this earth to hear the gospel and we’re unapologetic about it . People are dying out there spiritually . When we serve Him, He pours out His blessings. The church
is a hospital for the spiritually sick .” “‘Those who live only for themselves eventually shrivel up and figuratively lose their lives, while those who lose themselves in service to others grow and flourish-and in effect save their lives,’” said church leader, Thomas S. Monson (LDS.org, 2014). Do you want to save your life? Then live the gospel. 100%. And not just in words, but actions, too. Doing so will bless you. It will bless the lives of others. Family like your spouse, children and extended members. Friends. Strangers. Do it now. Even on your birthday. Even in a mall. Just watch out for Sister Neider, your competition. As she’ll likely be there, too. Cynthia Kimball is a speaker and trainer through her company Every1Counts, LLC, and a doctoral student in Curriculum and Instruction.

Toy Computer
tHe lAuGhiNg pOiNt!!
I was recently attending a birthday party for my motherin-law, when my three-year-old grandson came to me with a Strawberry Shortcake toy computer that can help with spelling and some other things. He wanted me to turn it on for him. I opened it up, looked around for an on/off switch, and slid a couple of switches left and right, but it wouldn’t come on. I gave it back to him saying that I couldn’t help him. He took the computer and gave it to the mother of the little girl it belonged to. She opened it up and pushed a button, it came on, and she gave it back to him. I asked her what she had pushed to get it to come on. She replied, “On/Off.” When I said I couldn’t figure it out and I work on computers for a living, she replied, “I wouldn’t tell that to anyone.”
New Bed?
February 13, 2014
Cottage
We were staying at a country resort and became friendly with the handyman. “My neighbor has a nice little cottage for sale, case you’re interested,” he told us. Despite its run-down appearance, we fell in love with the place and bought it “as is.” The day we moved in, our new friend dropped by. “You got a good buy, “ he admitted. “Cottage needs some work though. Roof leaks, plumbing’s shot and the well runs dry in the summer.” Dismayed, I retorted, “Why didn’t you tell us that before we bought it?” “Weren’t neighbors then,” he replied.
The doctor suggested that my husband, because of his back problems, not sleep on our waterbed. When we discussed what type of bed should replace it, he said that he wanted a firm mattress on a queen-size bed. I preferred a softer mattress in a double size, and as our discussion grew more heated, it became obvious we would have difficulty reaching agreement. Then our young son, who had overheard our conversation, suggested, “Why don’t you just get bunk beds?”
Lady in the Park
A little girl asked her mother for a dollar to give to an old lady in the park. Her mother was touched by the child’s kindness, and gave her the dollar. “There you are, my dear,” said the mother. “But, tell me, isn’t the lady able to work any more?” “Oh yes,” came the reply. “She sells candy.”

Holographic Wills by Jeffery J. McKenna and any other wills that have not been revoked will be looked at together to determine who inherits your estate. As you may expect, problems arise when the various documents conflict. Be sure to identify each bequest clearly and to give away all of your property. A frequent problem with handwritten wills is that they list some accounts and properties, but then leave out others. Property that you don’t mention in your will passes to your heirs as determined by the courts. Your heirs may not be the same persons named in your will, and may not be the ones you would have chosen to receive the assets. Also, going to court and figuring out who your heirs are can be an expensive and time-consuming matter. In addition, courts will require two witnesses who are familiar with your handwriting to testify that the will was, in fact, written by you. It’s often the case that handwritten wills don’t name a personal representative. Failure to name a personal representative could result in an administration of your estate that is fully court-supervised, expensive, and lengthy. Another important provi-

sion that is often left out of a holographic will is a waiver of bond. When you don’t request a waiver, the judge can require that your personal representative post a bond. Sometimes, it’s not possible to even get a bond, and if your personal representative can get one, it is generally expensive. There are a number of other provisions that should be included in wills that the average person would almost certainly leave out of a holographic will. Handwritten wills are valid if they are properly drafted. However, they are almost always more difficult to probate than typed wills. Jeffery J.

An eight-year-old boy was waiting in line at an ice cream stand and hanging on to the hand of his three-year-old cousin, who kept yelling impatiently, “I want vanilla!” The stand was out of vanilla, but the older boy handled the situation with all the skill of a child psychologist. He bought two strawberry cones and handed one to his cousin, saying, “Here you are - pink vanilla!”
Whole World
I packed the car and gathered our daughters for a visit to my sister’s house . On my way out the door, my husband, who wasn’t going, said: “Be very careful ... my whole world is in that car!” Later, during lunch, I repeated the words of my sentimental and loving husband to my sister, and my oldest daughter cracked, “Yeah, Dad’s golf clubs are in the trunk!”
AG MARKET NEWS
Wills, Trusts, and More A holographic will is a will that is written entirely in your own handwriting. No witnesses are required, and no portion of the will may be typed. If you type some or all of the words, or you incorporate other markings or other documents into the text, you could inadvertently invalidate the will. The idea behind holographic wills is that since the entire document is in a person’s handwriting, there is no need for witnesses to sign it to establish its validity. Holographic wills don’t need to be notarized either, but they do need to be signed. Most lawyers would tell you it’s a bad idea to write your own will because you can easily create ambiguities and other defects that can lead to litigation following your death. This is especially true in second marriage situations when one or both spouses have children from prior marriages or relationships. If you decide to write your own will, you should be sure to say in the introductory sentence that it is your will, and that you are revoking all prior wills. If you don’t revoke all prior wills, your handwritten will

PHS Sports Sidelines by Mack Oetting
Lady and Bob Cats are Shooting Great Games; Wrestlers Head to State The Cats keep on rolling with 4 more sweeps this last week and the Bob Cats tough guys finished third at Region. Last Tuesday the Piute Thunderbirds came to town and it was quite a show. The Lady Cats got the evening off right giving all of the Senior fans cookies, the Seniors have really supported the Cats this season and have been rewarded with some great games. I got there a little late (I am not old enough to be a senior) and the score was 16 to 15, by the time I got some popcorn and a Dr. Pepper the Birds were ahead 22 to 16, was this to be an upset? At half time the Cats had cut the score to 24 to 22. I don’t know what Coach Barney told the girls, but he let the Cats loose on Piute, they ran, and ran and ran and ran some more. The Cats out scored the Birds 43 to 23 in the second half. The hard fought game ended 66 to 47. Piute is the second rated team in 1A and they are really good. The Cats were led by Chesney with 21 points and 12 boards, followed by Taylor’s 16 and Whitini continues picking the other team’s pockets, with 4 more steals, Whittni almost always converts these steals into points, she finished with 13. The crowd for this game seemed to be the largest of the year and the student section was filled and we were all
treated to a great game by the Lady Cats. The Ladies on the Thursday traveled down to Valley and the Buffalos gave them fits. The Cats led at half 28 to 23, but in the 3rd quarter the buffalos closed the gap down to 3 points and trailed 35 to 32, after a time out, Catania (aka Jonee) sank two straight 3 pointers, followed by another one by Taylor and the team opened up an 11 point lead and never looked back with a 57 to 39 win. Chesney, Catania and Whittnia all ended up with 11 points and Whittnia added 6 more teals. Darri was high point with 17 and added 9 more rebounds. Region starts for the Cats tonight Thurs. the 13th at 7:00, against either Milford or Valley. The game will be played in Cedar City. The Bob Cats really got tested on Wednesday by Diamond Ranch. They are better suited to play football and the best you can hope for is no one gets hurt. Diamond Ranch has some good athletes but they play out of control and get in foul trouble real early. Chance Campbell continues his barrage on the 3 point basket shooting with another 6 shot night, they need to call that corner of the court “Chance’s spot” he finished with 18 points all 3 pointers. Tyce finished with another big night with 21 pts and
18 rebounds, Keldon Norris with 13 and 10 assists. Diamond Ranch brought their cheering section, and I kept thinking they were yelling beat LA, thinking they don’t get out much, but it was DRA, but they seemed to be having a good time. Friday night the Cats went out to Escalante and it was Tyce Barney’s night, he finished with 41 points and 11 rebounds and 9 steals, just missing a triple double by one steal. That led to another win for the Cats 88 to 59. Kelton had another good night with 8 more assists and 6 steals. The team shot 59% this night and their next game was last Tuesday against Valley here and BV on the following week on the 18th and one final game here on the 20th Piute. The Wrestlers went over to Wayne and came up with third place finishing behind Monticello and Wayne. Monticello is really good and won by quite a large margin. Rowdy Miller took first and Mooney and Owens, both took 2nd and there were a number of third places taken by the Cats. State is this weekend on the 14-15 and will be at the Maverick Center. Good luck at State Cats, most of you are young and this will be a great experience for you.

The family was grateful he was able to spend the last few months there working on his dream home and that he had come home. Ron spent most of his working years working as a preservation packer at the Defense Depot in Ogden. He retired from the government when DDO closed and worked for the contractor until he retired from them in October of 2012. Ron’s hobbies were his grandson Christian, fishing with his children and hunting lions with his dog Mike, and Stan Mecham whom he loved like a father. He served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. He is survived by his wife of 33 years Peggy; children: Crystal McGee and Joe McGee; grandson Christian McGee; a brother Mike; sisters: Helen and Dorothy.

Bryce Valley Area News by Vicki D. Syrett 679-8687 or vickidiane36@hotmail.com Condolences go out to the family of Ron McGee who passed away last week. His funeral will be held on February 18th in Tropic. There is a Relief Society Activity on Wednesday, February 26 at 6:00. We will be making cute pillowcases for the Women’s Crisis Center in Cedar City. We have some fabric that has been donated, but if you would like to bring some of your own, it takes 1 1/8 yard for each pillowcase. We are also needing some donations of new standard sized pillows. If your not busy with the Cub Scouts that night, please join us! In Tropic Ward today the speakers paid honors to the Scouting Program. It has been in existence for 104 years. The Scouting program helps young men to learn about many things in life and to grow into strong, healthy young men. Speakers today were all in the Scouts and they were Sam Jensen, Zennon Hutchings, and Carter Mortensen who all did terrific jobs of talking about the Scouts. Skyler Syrett also spoke as a representative who works with the Scouts. It was a very informative and interesting meeting. In Cannonville the Westoff
Family were the speakers. The parents has just returned from serving a mission in Farmington, New Mexico and their son, who spoke with them, just got back from Vera Cruz, Mexico. In Henrieville they had the full time Missionaries speak. Ruth Baugh tells us Mate is home from the hospital and recovering after heart surgery. He is doing well and seems ready to get up and move all around. After spending a few days in Valley View Medical Center, Charlie Francisco is home and taking care of himself so he doesn’t have another return of the pneumonia. This was his second bout in the last few weeks and like all of us he would rather be home with his family than in the hospital. However, we are all grateful for the hard work our hospital staff does to help us recover so we can come home. Charlie you listen to what is said so you don;t have to go back again. The Henrieville Relief Society will be having a Visiting Teacher conference on the 16th at 5:00 P.M. The fourth graders will be doing their annual “Good Manners and Respect” activity this week.

Cancer Society: CVS Tobacco-Sale Stoppage May Help Smokers Quit SALT LAKE CITY Utahns who smoke may have an easier time quitting now that CVS Caremark plans on ending all tobacco sales, according to Shane Ferraro, media relations manager, American Cancer Society of Utah. He said CVS customers struggling to kick the habit will have less tobacco temptation when at the store. “That’s one of the reasons why CVS has decided to do this,” Ferraro said. “They’re a health-focused organization and while they were doing things to help people get better, there were those products that are causing people health problems.” CVS Caremark plans to cease all tobacco sales by October 1 at all 7,600 stores. The company reportedly said selling cigarettes is no longer compatible with its expansion
of in-store health care services. President Obama applauded CVS, calling the move a powerful example that helps in the battle to reduce the deaths and illnesses linked to smoking. Ferraro said it may also put pressure on CVS’ major competitors, such as Walgreens, to follow suit and kick the habit of selling tobacco products. “We definitely think so and we would like to applaud CVS Caremark. They’re showing leadership in the industry and we would encourage others to follow suit,” Ferraro said. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 40 million Americans smoke and more than 400,000 die from a smoking-related illness each year. —Troy Wilde, Utah News Connection

You Already Know That. Just a reminder that for nearly 100 years, we have offered a tradition of Someone is missing from the picture.
Caring
Was it aunt Betty? ... cousin Ruthie ... or perhaps it was Grandma Janis. With all that a person has learned in this world ... who is really prepared to deal with the loss of a family member? And ... the task of planning a funeral may sometimes be overwhelming. At Southern Utah Mortuary, we understand this. As a family profession for nearly 100 years, you can count on us and our family to honor your wishes in making the proper arrangements for your loved one. But ... there is one service we offer that is not for sale ... CARING. It was always there. It is what compelled us in the beginning, and it is, to this day, the very essence of what we do.

We had a guest to dinner once, a classy foreign dude, Visiting Wayne County, to sample the local food. He said he wasn’t fussy, any old thing would do. Of course the bloke was British, so what did he think he knew? We broiled up some chicken, on the outdoor barbecue. We had a loaf of home-baked bread, and garden veggies, too. The spuds we had were special, with garlic and cream cheese. And the woman served Jello salad, a dish always sure to please. It had some different fruit in it, and cottage cheese, I think, Smooshed up in red flavored Jello, sort of whitish, but kind of pink. Our guest, he wasn’t shy at all. He took a healthy plate, But when he seen that salad bowl, he seemed to hesitate. He asked us, quite politely, what that container contains, “I don’t recall having seen such stuff, although I rack my brains.” The woman said, “That there’s Jello, with cottage cheese, you see, A treat at any funeral or Relief Society.” Our English guest took a teeny taste, an infinitesimal sip, Then pushed the bowl a ways away, and napkined off his lip. He ate the spuds and chicken, ‘til all of it was gone, But that nice pink set salad just didn’t turn him on. I asked about it later. Just curious, you know. Why he abjured a local favorite dish that we love so. He rolled his eyes and answered, in voice all firm and steady, “I just don’t fancy food that looks like it’s been et already!” “Jello Salad” 2004. from Fence Lines, by Ray Conrad, published by Avalanche Creek Productions, 2009.

FYI Panguitch
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Last week it was the Super Bowl and tonight it is the Winter Olympics. I hope that you were able to watch the opening ceremonies, they were magnificent. These games cost a ton of money and if the opening ceremonies were any indication of what is to come they are going to be exciting, the Russians have out done themselves. The opening ceremonies and closing ceremonies are being held in a building that cost millions and seats 43,000 and these are the only events staged there. The commentators from the US are trying to outdo themselves, in finding even the smallest problem, to put the Russians down. When you travel to a foreign country, you don’t drink the water, in China we stayed at 5 star hotels and there was always bottle water, with a sign to use the water to brush your teeth and to drink, big deal! When we go to California we always drink bottled water, because of the taste of the domestic water and all the years we lived there we always had bottle water. We are spoiled with Panguitch water now. The Olympic Games go back 3,000 years and were organized in Olympia in Greece. The first mention of the games was in 776 BC and the games were held in the same place every 4 years. The modern Olympic were held in Athens, Greece in 1896 and over 3,000 athletes from 44 nations competed, included 100 women. The winter Olympics were also started in 1896. It wasn’t until 1992 that they separated the summer and winter games, separating the games by two years. They have made the winter Olympics really exciting
with all of the new events including 12 new medal events. Women’s Ski jumping, ski and snowboard slope style and ski half pipe, to name a few of the new events. The events include 17 sports, 15 disciplines, 17 competition days, 2,900 athletes and there are 98 medal events (49 men and 43 women’s). Sochi, Russia is a resort town that is located in southern Russia and is on the Black Sea. It has a population of 350,000 and is where the Russians vacation. Danny Yardley met up with Marilyn Veater there while they were on their Mission. The City runs along the coast for about 90 miles and the temperature there now is about 50 degrees. However the ski slopes are only about an hours drive, The Russian weren’t taking any chances, they had 500 snow guns as well of 187,000 gallons of snow from last year that they have in storage. Watching the downhill is amazing; how do you get the nerve to go 85 miles down, such a steep downhill? They water down the race course so it is icy the whole way making it really fast. With all of the new events, in my opinion, I like the winter games better than the summer ones, even though I do love track and field. Forget the commentators and enjoy the games, they only come along every 4 years. CVS a giant drug store business has stopped tobacco sales, as it is counter productive to their selling good health. This will cost them 2 billion in sales each year. The Panguitch Drug has never sold tobacco and probably will never make the news. There are still 18 % of the people still smoking and 400,000 people
dying each year from smoke related illnesses. My sister who was a nurse and a smoker (who quit 10 years before she died) always said that the best a smoker can hope for is to get lung cancer, it kills you in about 3 months. It rained this morning and that with the warm weather sure melted a lot of the snow. Most of the weather is up north, but we are getting a lot of snow on the mountain, with Shawn reporting that Brian Head got a lot of powder and the skiing is great. Updating you on Panguitch’s sesquicentennial, March 22 is the day set aside for the Birthday party. A program is planned, Birthday cake is on the agenda and it is hoped that each of you will join the celebration. William Proctor, author and ties to Panguitch will be at the March celebration. He has written Panguitch’s history from 1864-2000. His book should be ready for purchase. Both Art Cooper and Elaine Baldwin are in constant contact with him and they have had a preview of the book and
are very excited that finally someone has written about this great community. There are still a few banners to put up but Pat is a fair weather worker and is waiting for a sunny day to get them up. Banners for the light poles have been ordered and are expected to be up for the March celebration. Several technology students have added their designer touch to the banners; our many thanks to Ms.Caine’s students for sharing their skills and talent. Sesquicentennial pins are available at the county and city buildings. Tee shirts are also on the agenda. Panguitch’s citizens have experienced many accidents due to the icy weather. Others are plagued with pneumonia and the rest of us are in a constant state of worrying what else or who else will be ill before this winter season gets over with. Keep safe everyone. Continue to pray for moisture, it is going to take a lot of it to bring our water level up to normal. Mack O.

Escalante Essentials by Jean Bramble
City Council Meeting: 2/4/2014 Following a U.R.M.A. (Utah Risk Management Mutual Association) training session for both Planning & Zoning and the City Council, the council began its third meeting of the year. Many citizens were present at the meeting. There were no personal comments nor were there updates from P&Z. However, it was detrmined that Dave Torgerson, who was previously designated as an alternate to the P&Z Committee, is not authorized for that position as he resides outside city limits. Anyone who is interested in taking the alternate position may contact city offices (826-4644) and leave his or her name. City council then acted on the following: an application to build a barn from Frank Levine that was tabled pending a drawing of the project; a proposed fence at 100 South 300 East by James Clery was approved. Among the scheduled items was the establishment of a resort tax advisory board. The tax, approved late last year, provides monies directly to the city. At a previous meeting, city council agreed to establish an advisory board consisting of three members of the Chamber of Commerce and two at-large members. Escalante City Recorder Vickie Schulkoski will post announcements in town asking that interested persons contact the city and put their names forward for a position on the board. Unlike P & Z, those with interest in the advisory committee need not live within city limits. Ordinance 2014-01 (aka the dog ordinance) was revised and presented for approval. The new ordinance changes the consequences for dog noise (incessant barking) from a misdemeanor to an infraction. Thus, for example, if a dog is causing a ruckus and disturbing neighbors’ sleep, the owner will receive a penalty similar to that for a moving traffic violation.
For clarification, a dog that barks continuously for 15 or more minutes or intermittently for 30 minutes with less than one minute between barking bouts and two or more citizens then file a complaint, the dog’s owner may be held liable. The owner will need to pay a substantial fine. Just like traffic violations, the dog owner may have his or her day in court, but will be responsible for attorney fees. City council adopted the new version of the ordinance into city law. It also approved the annual wastewater report completed by Ms. Schulkoski and Mr. Blaine Porter. Among council and administrative reports was the announcement that the position for a new police officer will remain open until the third of March in order to enable potential candidates who may now be completing their training to take the certification test. Mayor Taylor reported that the health clinic is now up and running under new management. To cheers, Councilman Guy Graham reported that the repair and final inspection of the city water line has been done. Councilwoman Barnes described progress on the pothole project. She also reported progress in learning about necessary baseline studies of air and water quality should fossil fuel development proceed in our area. She indicated that the cost of such studies may run in the vicinity of $30,000 but that the investment would be important in resolving potential
mitigation issues. There may be grants available to assist with this type of study. Mrs. Barnes reminded citizens that the Escalante City right-ofways are to be kept clear of unregistered vehicles, longterm trailer parking, building materials and other unsightly items. It is legal to park registered vehicles. Storm and Water Problems: Round Two This coming Saturday, February 15th at 9:00 a.m., the New Escalante Irrigation District is holding its annual shareholders’ meeting. A new board member will be elected and a discussion will be held that is probably the most important in many years. The newly rebuilt Wide Hollow Reservoir, completed only 3 years ago, is at serious risk of being prematurely degraded by sediment deposition. If not for the heroic efforts of the Water-masters, Pat Coughlin and Mark Lisonbee, the northern end of the reservoir would already be buried under sediments from the Wide Hollow catchment area above it. A recent publication by the Utah Division of Water Resources, “Managing Sediment in Utah’s Reservoirs”, describes long-term data and identifies Wide Hollow Reservoir as the most sediment prone water impoundment in our state. A link to the report can be found by entering the title into your web browser. Unless immediate steps are taken to solve the problems at Wide Hol-

low, the future of residential and commercial agricultural production in Escalante is in jeopardy. The economic loss to Garfield County from the sediment driven reduction of storage capacity in the old reservoir is estimated to have been over $700,000 per year just prior to building the new dam. The February 15 meeting will provide an opportunity to learn and discuss what has been happening at Wide Hollow Reservoir and what options might be pursued to protect it from further damage. Please attend this important meeting.

obituaries Evelyn B. Bagley
Koosharem - Evelyn Brown Bagley, 81, devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend, peacefully returned to her heavenly home on February 4, 2014, in Mapleton, surrounded by members of her family. Evelyn was born September 12, 1932, in Bicknell, to Alburn and Ellen Brown. She graduated from Duchesne High School, and later, while home for the holidays, met her eternal sweetheart, Garth Bagley, at a Christmas evening dance where Evelyn’s father played in the band. She and Garth were married on May 1, 1953, in the Manti Temple, and one of the genuine, fairy-tale, theylived-happilyever-after marriages blissfully commenced. He preceded her in death December 27, 2001. If there was one word that would be associated with Evelyn, that word would be “service.” Her life personified service from the moment she awoke each day until the moment she lay down at night. Evelyn and Garth raised 10 children on the family farm, and with homemade meals to cook each day, mountains of laundry to wash, fold, and iron, and the numerous demands that a child has, her life was dedicated to seeing that her family had everything they needed. Long after everyone retired for the evening, Evelyn would be washing one more load of clothes, ironing one more shirt, baking one more loaf of bread. And if that wasn’t enough, Evelyn would make various baked goods and deliver them to the folks of Grass Valley whom she felt needed a little love. It was miraculous the love she could bake into one of her famous sugar cookies. Her husband made the comment on several occasions that it would take several big trucks to haul all of the baked goods Evelyn delivered in the valley through the years. Her life truly fit the principle that “the noblest aim in life is to strive to make other lives better and happier.” Evelyn loved being with her family, watching their happiness, their growth, and their accomplishments. She was happy when her children were happy. She also cherished the hours she and Garth would bale hay at night in the farm’s first cabbed tractor (she called those nights “date nights”), growing gardens the size of Rhode Island, and dancing with her sweetheart on Christmas Day, showing the children what real dancing looked like. Evelyn was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in numerous capacities in the Koosharem Ward. She devoted her selfless love and compassion to the Relief Society, the Primary, and the Young Women’s programs serving as president, counselor, and teacher. She is survived by her 10 children: David (Jennifer) Bagley, Murray; Gary (Julie) Bagley, Orem; Mark (Nelcy) Bagley, Pleasant Grove; Scott (Melissa) Bagley, Koosharem; Camille (Tom) Swartzmiller, Kingston; Greg (Marja) Bagley, Logan; Stephanie (Eric) Pedersen, St. George; Michelle (Lance) Black, Mapleton; Michael (Mandy) Bagley, Denver; and Lori (Marvin) John, Kaysville; 43 grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren; sisters: Adona, Lew, Beverly; brothers: Cleon, Vanor, and Valoy. She was also preceded in death by her parents; brother, Deon; and sisters, Maxine and Darlene. Funeral services will be held Saturday, February 8, 2014, at 12:00 Noon in the Koosharem Ward Chapel. Family and friends may call Friday evening from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. at the Magleby Mortuary, 50 S. 100 W., Richfield, and at the ward chapel in Koosharem Saturday from 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. Burial will be in the Koosharem Cemetery.

Should You Buy Pet Insurance? by Jason Alderman
One topic I’ve learned to avoid with new acquaintances until I know them better (along with politics and religion) is where they stand on the treatment of pets. Some people, when their dog gets sick or badly injured, say, “It’s an animal – that’s just part of the circle of life.” Others consider Rover a close family member and would take out a second mortgage to save his life. Pet owners from both camps probably see the barrage of ads for pet insurance and wonder whether it’s worth the expense, which might be several thousand dollars over the life of your pet. I did some research and the best answer I can come up with is, it depends. First, ask yourself: Do you regard pet insurance as a financial investment, where you expect to get back more in benefits than you paid out in premiums over the pet’s life? Or, is it more like auto or homeowner’s insurance, where you hope nothing ever goes seriously wrong, but you want coverage in case there’s a catastrophe? Either way, here are some basic facts about pet insurance that may help you decide whether it’s right for you: Pet insurance shares many features with human health insurance: Policies typically have annual deductibles, copayments and exclusions, and some limit which veterinarians, clinics and hospitals you can use. But there are numerous differences as well.Among the many restrictions you should watch for when comparing plans are: • Premiums vary greatly depending on where you live and may increase based on your pet’s age, breed, veterinary cost inflation and other factors. • Typically you must pay the vet or hospital bill out of pocket and get reimbursed
later. • Many plans deny or restrict coverage for congenital or hereditary conditions (like hip dysplasia in dogs or kidney failure in cats) and preventable conditions like periodontal disease. • Along with annual and lifetime maximums on benefits paid out, there may be a limit on how much it will pay for treatment of an individual illness or accident. • If your pet suffers a particular disorder one year, don’t be surprised if that condition is excluded at renewal – or if you’re required to pay an additional fee for future coverage. • Pets over certain age limits frequently are denied coverage. • Certain breeds are often excluded or only eligible for restricted coverage. • Some carriers let you augment your accident and illness policy with optional “wellness care” coverage for things like spaying and neutering, annual physicals, vaccines and routine tests. Make sure the additional premium is worth the extra cost. You can go directly to their websites for plan details and to request a quote, or use an independent comparison website to pull quotes from multiple carriers. I’d recommend creating a spreadsheet to compare benefits and costs side by side, just as you would when shopping for auto insurance. Bottom line: If you decide pet insurance isn’t right for you, at least be sure you’re setting money aside to cover expected – and unexpected expenses.
