It was not a surprise to run into Judy and Sherri out of town looking for cabinets, counter tops, window treatments, carpets, tile, paint and the best price possible to make the clinic the most pleasant place possible when it was completed. She has been a cleaning lady making sure the clinic was clean before the day started and clean when she left the building at night. Over

TALLASSEE, TN - A report released this week by the U.S. Dept. of the Interior’s National Park Service provides nationwide data regarding the economic benefits of the nation’s 401 national parks, compiled for the year 2012. The report, which focuses on spending effects in local communities, shows that overall, the National Park System received over 282 million recreation visits in 2012, which in turn translated to $14.7 billion
in spending in local gateway regions, which are defined as communities within 60 miles of a national park. The report states that the contribution of this spending to the national economy was 243 thousand jobs. Interior Department Secretary Sally Jewell talked about the report during a conference call with reporters from Ten-

A Special Thank You to Judy Brooks ESCALANTE - Judy retired from Kazan Clinic (Intermountain Healthcare) on January 31, 2013 after fortyfive years of dedicated service to the people of Escalante. She started out as a receptionist and aid with Dr. Ivan Kazan shortly after the clinic first started in the basement building on the North East corner going toward what we called the Spring in Escalante. While working there, she also took X-rays when needed and always took the book home with her to make appointments for the doctors’ next day’s work in Escalante. The clinic was later moved to the building where it now stands and she worked there until it caught fire and burned. This didn’t stop her and others to start making plans to rebuild. While in the process of this Escalante City made room inside the City building to set up a temporary clinic. She and Sherri Woolsey worked countless hours cleaning up what they could from the fire to start business as usual. As progress was being made for the present new

the years she has worked for twenty-one different doctors and a number of nurses. Judy has been a dedicated employee and citizen to the people in Escalante. It was not unusual to see her delivering prescriptions after hours to those who could not pick them up themselves. She is always pleasant with a smile on her face and treating everyone the same. She has been a number one supporter in every event in Escalante and has always gone the extra mile in everything she has done. Judy, you will be missed and please know that your service and dedication did not go unnoticed you were and still are deeply appreciated. We wish you well in all you do and hope you enjoy your retirement, you deserve it. We know that your service to others will not stop because that is the kind of person you are.

Capitol Reef National Park Hickman Bridge Trailhead Temporary Closure CAPITOL REEF N.P. -Trail crew teams from Canyonlands National Park and Rocky Mountain National Park are working with park staff to repair a damaged rock wall at the Hickman Bridge Trailhead. Due to safety concerns, the trailhead will be closed while crews are working. The dates of closure will be February 25 through March 4 and March 12 through March 18. Extended closures may occur and dates are subject to change as work progresses. A significant rock fall occurred at the Hickman Bridge Trailhead on March 23, 2013. The trailhead was officially closed upon discovery of the rock fall. Due to the size of the rock fall, additional precautions were taken before the trailhead could be reopened. The trailhead has been delineated and the trail has been realigned around the debris pile. A portion of a retaining wall just beyond the rock fall was washed out during this seasons flooding in September and the work in now underway to repair it. Caution is advised while hiking and visiting all locations in canyon country. Inherent dangers exist including rock fall hazard, flash floods, loose footing, and lightning. Stay alert, be aware of hazardous conditions and check with the visitor center staff for additional updates or weather conditions.

nessee’s Great Smoky Mountains National Park—the most highly visited park in the nation. “The most fun part of being Secretary of the Interior is overseeing over 400 national parks,” said Secretary Jewell. “Our parks represent, unimaginable beauty, majesty, places that convey our history and our heritage.” On the previous day, she and other Park Service officials had gone for a hike to an area called Chimney Top, and they also met with the descendants of landowners and members of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee who had helped make that park a reality. During her discussion about the 2012 economic data, Secretary Jewell emphasized the role of parks as economic engines for local communities. “Our country has the finest system of national parks in the world, and they attract visitors from around the country and around globe,” said Jewell. “Our data show that the parks produce more than $10 in local economic activity for every visitor dollar spent.” She added that 200,000 jobs are created in the communities around the national parks. In Utah, the report showed that national parks located in our state attracted 9.5 million visitors in 2012, and that those visitors spent a total of $617 million dollars, directly supporting 9,416 jobs. A supplemental report, also issued this week, tabulated the effect of lost income to communities due to the closure of the national parks due to the October 2013 government shutdown. “It was a striking reminder of the impact of parks on local economies,” said Jewell. “It became really evident when the parks shut down for 16 days. Shutting down the parks was a real challenge for local
communities who depend on those park visitors,” she said. A 7.9 million decline in overall October visitation resulted in a loss of $414 million in NPS visitor spending within gateway communities across the country. The National Park Service has been conducting economic analyses on park visitation for 20 years. The 2012 analysis marks a major revision to the NPS visitor spending effects analyses, with the development of a new visitor spending effects model (VSE model) that replaces the former Money Generation Model (MGM2). Secretary Jewell noted that the new system will allow the NPS to complete an economic report for 2013 much more quickly, and she expects their 2013 park visitation economic analysis to be out sometime in the summer of 2014. She also noted that while showing considerable economic value, that federal funding for the national parks has been on a decline due to budget cuts, resulting in an $11 billion dollar maintenance backlog. Secretary Jewell emphasized the importance of community leaders and citizens sharing with their legislators the importance of the parks to their communities. Jewell said that the Park Service will be celebrating their National Park Centennial in 2016 which will include a campaign during 2014-16 to generate new public awareness to get people out to see their parks and contribute to the economy.

Additional Adult Quagga Mussels Found in Lake Powell PAGE AZ - The National Park Service and Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) have recently detected additional adult quagga mussels in Lake Powell. Since this time last year, the water levels at Lake Powell have dropped which has exposed shorelines that were previously underwater. Thousands of adult quagga mussels have been found in various locations, such as canyon walls, Glen Canyon Dam, boats, and other underwater structures. The majority of mussels found are isolated adults, with additional groupings of small clusters. One adult mussel was found on the south canyon wall of Bullfrog Bay. Boat inspections and decontamination of high risk boats are still required for incoming vessels at Glen Canyon. Continued mussel education and prevention activities, including boat inspections, will minimize the chances that mussels will colonize other areas of the lake. It may also prevent the introduction of other aquatic invasive species. It is crucial to keep the mussels from moving from Lake Powell to other lakes and rivers. When leaving Lake Powell, all watercraft are required by Utah and Arizona state law to be decontaminated (Clean, Drain, and Dry) before being moved to another water body. Regulations vary depending on the state, so all boaters should review the regulations of any states they will enter with their watercraft
after being at Lake Powell, including Arizona and Utah. To help stop the spread of mussels: • You must clean and drain your boat before you leave the vicinity of the lake. • You must dry your boat the required amount of time before moving it to another body of water. • OR you can have your boat professionally decontaminated. “Park staff, partners, and the public have worked hard to keep Lake Powell mussel free for the last ten years,” said Superintendent Todd Brindle. “It’s very disappointing that mussels are in the lake, but most visitors will not notice them. The important thing now is to keep them from being transported to other lakes and rivers.” A planning effort is currently underway to develop a Quagga/Zebra Mussel Management Plan (QZMP) to help the National Park Service decide what tools are appropriate to support the ongoing management of invasive mussels in Glen Canyon now that quagga mussels are present in Lake Powell. The QZMP will consider changes to the existing prevention and monitoring efforts, and will include analysis of potential control, containment, and other park management actions.

OP-ED
Seat Belts Save Lives By Sgt. Benjamin Cox Utah Highway Patrol
Statistics for 2012 reveal that 40% of all traffic-related fatalities were a result of someone not wearing a seat belt. ALL traffic-related fatalities in Garfield County during 2012 and 2013 were a result of someone not wearing a seat belt. These deaths occurred because of someone “choosing” not to buckle up! In addition to the fatalities, seat belt use in rural Utah is statistically low as compared to urban areas of the state. The Utah Highway Patrol (UHP) has always felt strongly about seat belt use and in recent years (and again in 2014) it is one of the department’s goals and initiatives. The UHP encourages voluntarily seat belt use in conformance with the law, however, because of the low usage and high fatality rate, Section 10 UHP (Garfield, Piute, Sevier, Sanpete, and Wayne Counties) will be increasing efforts in enforcing Utah’s seat belt laws. This will include issuance of citations to those in violation of the seat belt laws. Utah’s Safety Belt Use
Law states that drivers and passengers must wear an appropriate safety restraint. The law provides for primary enforcement for individuals up to 19 years of age, which means officers can stop the vehicle if they observe an unrestrained occupant under the age of 19. In addition, children up to age eight must be properly restrained in an approved car safety seat or booster seat and children ages eight through 18 must be restrained in a safety restraint/booster seat or seat belt. For a person age 19 or older, enforcement by an officer can be only as a secondary action when the person has been detained for another offense, such as speeding. You can help the UHP achieve their goal of reducing deaths in our area. Please remember to buckle up every time. The majority of fatal crashes occur close to home so seat belts are just as important when you’re traveling in town. It only takes two seconds, but those two seconds could mean the difference between life and death.

School Notes High School Math Requirements If you have students who are currently in a high school mathematics class or if you will have a student enrolling in 9th grade next year, I would like to make you aware of the high school mathematic requirements that are set by the Utah State Board of Education. The Utah State Board of Education requires three credits in mathematics for all 9-12 grade students. You may have heard discussions in the last few years either for or against the Common Core in mathematics. According to State Board Rule R 277-7006 the Utah Board of Education establishes the core standards and core curriculum for students in grades 9-12. The curriculum standards are not set by the local Garfield County School Board instead they are approved at the State level. The Utah State Board of Education adopted the Common Core standards in math and language arts in 2010. For more information on the Utah Common Core or the implementation you can select the following web page http:// www.utahpublicschools.org/
In order for a student to graduate from high school in the State of Utah, they must have Math I as a freshman, Math II as a sophomore and Math III as a junior or senior. Students are basically locked into the Math I and Math II courses. However, there is the option to “opt out” of Math III if it is requested by the parents. Parents can sign an “opt out” form requesting for their students to take an alternative course such as accounting, computer programing, modern math, etc. For a complete list, please visit with your high school counselor. An additional option to Math III is Math 1010. Math 1010 is a concurrent enrollment course which means students receive both high school and college credit for the course. For a student to enroll in Math 1010 they must have an 18 on the ACT. Which means if a student will be a junior next year and would like to opt out of Math III, to take math 1010 they must take the ACT before school starts in August. If a student is going to take the ACT they can go
to the practice website http:// w w w. s h m o o p . c o m / u t a h / . Contact your counselor for the log in password. If a student receives a C grade or better in Math 1010, they can enroll in Math 1050. If a student does not take Math 1010 they must have a 23 on the ACT to enroll in Math 1050. Please note, if a student would like to apply for the Regents Scholarship they must enroll in Math III. Students can also take Math 1010 and Math 1050 as a senior if they have the required ACT scores. If you have questions concerning the options for high school students in mathematics, please contact your local high school Principal. I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to complete the parent survey on the District web page. The results from the surveys will be distributed to the School Board, administrators, and teachers. If you have not completed the survey, it is open until March 7. —Superintendent Ben Dalton

Region Basketball; Track Season Begins! Another week at PHS brings, in total, the beginning of the region boys basketball tournament, an exciting assembly, the end of a month, and the start of a new sporting season. We kicked off the week in celebratory fashion on Monday with an awesome assembly after lunch. The assembly started off by celebrating the recent region and state championships won by our girls basketball team. As a member of PHS, you couldn’t help but be impressed as Mrs. Bennett began listing off the impressive achievements the girls have won this year along with the trophies. The assembly was also an opportunity to recognize our newest students and teacher of the month. Jace Eyre received the middle school award, while Vince Hannah would capture the high school honors. Mrs. Natalie Perkins was also recognized in the assembly, being
named Teacher of the month. But awards and honors were not to be the only subject matter for Monday’s assembly. The students at PHS were given the great opportunity to have a guest speaker present. Johnny Cobey, a well-known speaker and presenter, gave an awesome and attentive seminar for the students. The presentation included dancing, speaking, and an overall message to be “in your heart” and happy in life. Wednesday was both an awaited and dreaded day for the students at PHS, as it was time for the girls and non-basketball associated members of the track team to lace up their shoes once again. Welcomed by the warmer whether Panguitch residents have been enjoying as of late, the spring runners and throwers of PHS hope to kick off a great season. The defending state champions (boys and girls) will be made a complete team in a few
weeks, when the boys basketball track members join them. Speaking of the boys basketball team- they had an important date to meet this week, and boy did they ever come through! In an exciting and anticipated home game (the very last home meet for our boys this year) our bobcats would go on to best the Escalante Moquis. Despite a very game opposition, the boys won the game by more than 20 points! Along with giving our home crowd a great game to watch, the team started their region tournament with a bang. We wish them all the best of luck as they continue their tournament in canyon view this weekend. With the way they have been playing, we may very well see another new region trophy in the halls of Panguitch on Monday. Donnie Corwin is a senior at Panguitch High School and serves as high school historian.

Students Celebrate Dr. Suess Dr. Seuss’ birthday was Sunday and the students at LES have celebrated his birthday in conjunction with spirit week. Mrs. Trena Barlow created a ‘seussish’ poster to remind kids what to wear each day, “Monday: For a sleepover, slumber party, or going to bed, come to school in your pajamas instead! *Pajama Day and Read-a-thon*. Tuesday: A sombrero, baseball cap or even beret...it is wear any kind of hat today! *Hat Day*. Wednesday: Multicolored socks, one red sock and one blue, any funky socks will do! *Crazy Sock Day*.
Thursday: Daisy Head Maizy said to wear your hair crazy! *Crazy Hair Day*. Friday: The Cat in the Hat has three favorite colors, so get it in your head to wear black, white and red! *Black, White and Red Day*”. Students also enjoyed a few fun activities this week as well.

To start off the unit Ms. Davis had a question and answer session with her students. “They have some pretty good questions” said Ms. Davis, “I can tell we are going to have a great time learning about the night sky!!!” She was kind enough to share a few of the questions with us; How many stars are in the sky? Can you build a house on the moon? Are there Aliens? How many people have been to the moon? Is the gravity on the moon deadly?

Thank you parents and community for all your support. Paleontology Assembly - Dr. Titus of Grand Staircase National Monument came to present a new species of fossil that was found on the monument. It was discovered close to the town of Big Water. The name of this early T-Rex species is “Lythronax”. That means King of Gore. After the main discussion the assembly broke into smaller groups for a deeper understanding of the
cleaning and taking care of the fossil. They brought a skull of the new fossil and another fossil called Diabloceratops. A devil like fossil with two horns sticking straight up like a dev-
ils. It was a very interesting assembly for the elementary and the high school students. Only four schools were given this special assembly so it was very special.

1 String All-Star Most Valuable Player: Is That You? st
By Cynthia Kimball
pan.
Years ago, I lived in Ja-
And I heard the gospel of Jesus Christ there. “You had to come to Japan to get it,” this Army Chaplain friend told me. “Wow, really, you think?” It doesn’t really matter though where I got it as long as I got it. To date, it’s the best decision I have ever made. It is my shield. Protection. Direction. Life. It’s my compass, rudder, guide, and my roadmap. It’s directs my everything. And I’m on-fire with it. And when I’m doing what I’m supposed to, being obedient, and having faith, I have incredible power. Where I feel I can do anything. It’s pretty cool actually. I feel clean, pure, beautiful. I also feel like I’m a 1ststring all-star most valuable player on God’s Army. Not 2nd string. Not 3rd. Not on the bench. Not an alternate. But playing. Really playing. With purpose and mission. And as long as I’m doing what I’m supposed to, blessings will poor out to me. Church leader Jeffrey R. Holland (1999) said, “Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don’t come until heaven; but for those who embrace the gospel
of Jesus Christ, they come,” (LDS.org, 2014). Did you read that? “They come.” Holland also said, “The FUTURE of this world has long been DECLARED; the final outcome between GOOD and evil is already KNOWN. There is absolutely no question as to who WINS because the VICTORY has already been posted on the SCOREBOARD. The only really strange thing is all of this is that we are still down here on the FIELD trying to decide which TEAM’S JERSEY we want to wear!” (Goodreads, Inc, 2014). Are you 1st string, 3rd, on the bench, or perhaps an alternate? What would you have to change to be on His 1st string all-star team? What would you have to change to step it up a notch and be a most valuable player? What’s preventing you? Perhaps what others think of you? Pride? Those are reasons of the world. But God forgives no matter what. And He’s merciful. He also needs YOU. Don’t give power to the adversary. I mean, you can rationalize and justify all you want, but God doesn’t use those
words. They’re actually not in His vocabulary. Yet, they’re in the adversary’s. Always remember that you are a son or daughter of God. And that your body’s a temple. And that it’s sacred. “God is anxiously waiting for the chance to answer your prayers and fulfill your dreams, just as He always has. But He can’t if you don’t pray, and He can’t if you don’t dream. In short, He can’t if you don’t believe,” said Holland. (Goodreads Inc., 2014). But you’re a 1st string all-star most valuable player on God’s Army, remember? “Don’t you quit. You keep walking, you keep trying, there is help and happiness ahead. Some blessings come soon. Some come late. Some don’t come until heaven. But for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come. It will be alright in the end. “Trust God and believe in Good Things to Come,” said Holland (Goodreads Inc., 2014).

At the DMV
After standing in line at the DMV (Dept of Motor Vehicles) for what felt like eons, my brother finally got to the counter. As the clerk typed his name and information into the computer, she said, “That’s odd.” “What’s wrong?” James asked. “My computer says you’re deceased,” Surveying his surroundings, James muttered, “Great. I died and went to hell.”
Stakeout
I’m a police officer and occasionally park my cruiser in residential areas to watch for speeders. One Sunday morning I was staked out in a driveway, when I saw a large dog trot up to my car. He stopped and sat just out of arm’s reach. No matter how much I tried to coax him to come for a pat on the head, he refused to budge. After a while I decided to move to another location. I pulled out of the driveway, looked back and learned the reason for the dog’s stubbornness. He quickly picked up the newspaper I had been parked on and dutifully ran back to his master.

tHe lAuGhiNg pOiNt!! Doctor Treatment
Suffering with a herniated disk in his back, my husband told his cousin that a well-respected doctor was treating him. His cousin asked the name of the doctor, and on hearing it, he replied, “I never heard of him, that’s a good sign.” (The cousin is a medicalmalpractice attorney.)
Speeding Pilot
A sky-diver and the pilot of his plane were driving to a jump zone when they were pulled over by a police officer for speeding. The officer approached the car and jokingly asked for a pilot’s license and flight plan. These were promptly passed over to him. His face expressed amazement, then amusement. “I always knew one day I’d get caught with that line,” and he let them go with a warning.

Wills, Trusts, and More Personal Representatives by Jeffery J. McKenna A personal representative is the person named in a Will to handle the Will-writer’s property after death. The personal representative is in charge of winding up the deceased person’s financial affairs. That means taking care of property, paying bills and taxes, and seeing that assets are transferred to their new rightful owners. If probate court proceedings are required, as they often are, the personal representative must handle them or hire a lawyer to do so. A personal representative doesn’t need special financial or legal knowledge. Common sense, conscientiousness and honesty are the main requirements. A personal representative who needs help can hire lawyers, accountants or other experts and pay them from the assets of the estate. The person you choose should be honest, with good organizational skills and the ability to keep track of details Many people select someone who will inherit a substantial amount of their property. This makes sense because such a person is likely to do a conscientious job of managing your affairs after your death. He or she may also have knowledge of where
your records are kept and an understanding of why you want your property left as you have directed. Whomever you select, make sure the person is willing to do the job. It is a good idea to discuss the position with the person you’ve chosen, before you make your Will. When it comes time, a personal representative can accept or decline the responsibility. Someone who agrees to serve can resign at any time. For this reason, many Wills name an alternate personal representative, otherwise a court can appoint one. The main reason for serving as a personal representative is to honor the deceased person’s request, but the personal representative is also entitled to payment. The exact amount is regulated can be affected by factors such as the value of the deceased person’s property and what the probate court decides is reasonable. Often, close relatives and friends (especially those who are inheriting part of the estate) don’t charge the estate for their services. Your personal representative will usually hire an attorney to assist with the legal documents needed for the es-

tate administration. The personal representative should choose a lawyer that is capable of explaining the estate administration process. A lawyer may charge by the hour, charge a lump sum, or charge a certain percentage of the gross value of the deceased person’s estate. The lawyer’s fee is paid from the assets of the estate. The lawyer should relieve the personal representative of the responsibility of personally handling all the details and should help protect the personal representative from any liabilities associated with serving as personal representative. Jeffery J. McKenna is a local attorney serving clients in Utah, Arizona and Nevada. He is a shareholder at the law firm of Barney, McKenna, and Olmstead with offices in St. George and Mesquite. He is a past President of the Southern Utah Estate Planning Council.

Buying A CD
I walked into the music store to buy a CD of Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto. I found the Hiphop, R&B, Country and Jazz sections, but no area where I might look for Rachmaninoff. “Excuse me,” I said to a young store clerk. “Do you have a classical section?” After a brief hesitation, he asked, “You mean...like Elvis?”

PHS Sports Sidelines by Mack Oetting
The Bob Cats Win the Region 20 Tournament with a Busser Beater by Keldon Norris Over the Piute Thunderbirds What an exciting game for the final, it was a repeat of the girls basketball game last week.. Two weeks earlier the Lady Cats were in the same situation with Piute, coming from behind and scoring the winning bucket at the buzzer. The Thunder Birds brought their A team and ga e the Cats everything they had. The Birds led 26 to 22 at half time and Tyce Barney had 16 of those 22 points, the Birds defense just shut everyone else down. After the half, the rest of the team really picked it up and tied the scored at 28, the game see sawed back and forth and was tied at 38 at the end of the third quarter. The fourth quarter was one for the ages, with both teams answering the others scoring, Piute was quick in side and JJ Ramos seemed like he nailed ever three pointer he threw up, it was only three of them, but they came at the right time. The Cats were behind by 4 with only a minute to go, when Trey Barney was fouled and made both (Trey is a freshman who plays like a senior) and with a steal and a basket the score was tied at 49. The Cats got the ball back with 30 seconds to go and
went for the last shot and when a player went in for a shot the ball got hit out of his hand only to go out to Keldon in three point land and his shot seemed like it took forever to get there, with nothing but net, for a three point victory, 52 to 49. Tyce, (who was really sick before the game) ended up with 31 badly needed points. On Thursday night Escalante came to PHS to start off the Tournament and really had a good turnout from their fans. The Cats came away with a 79 to 48 win. Chance Campbell continued his barrage on 3 pointers with 4, (he must be over 50 3’s by now). Freshman Trey Barney ended up high point with 24. Even with having to pay for this game, there was a real big crowd. The Cats met Valley at Canyon View, in the semis and Valley played well, but trailed 26-14 at half. The Buffalos got in some scoring in the 4th quarter against the JV’s and the final score was 51 to 40, but it wasn’t that close. Again Tyce was high point with 21 in 3 quarters, followed by his brother Trey with 16. The Cats first game at

Congratulations to Tyce Barney, Kyler and Keldon Norris for making Region 20 All Academic team. The team had a 3.92 GPA. Tryce Barney and Chance Campbell both were on the Region 20 All Star Team. Tyce Barney was last weeks Deseret News Prep of the Week. Tyce is closing in on some pretty elite company. Spurred on by a career-high 41 points in a win over Escalante, a couple of weeks ago and with the points from the Region 20 Tournament he is at 1912 points total in his career. With 4 games left he has a great chance to break into the 2000 pt. club, with only 5 other players in Utah history. Tyce has been named to Deseret New, first team All-State for the last two years. The Cats are taking a 20 and 1 record in to the State tournament.

Melva King On Wednesday, February 26, the spirit of Melva Davis King departed from this life. She was 94 years old. The Davis family, though of little means, valued education highly. She excelled in school and church assignments. As a senior in high school she was the student body secretary. The next year she enrolled at Utah State University. In her third year at USU, she met Ted King, a rancher’s son from Teasdale, Utah. They fell in love and were married on August 8th, 1941, in the Logan, Utah temple. They made plans for further education but the demands of the war required Ted to join the Army. By war’s end, they had daughter Teddy Louise and a second due, Kathleen. Ted’s father asked Ted to take over the family ranching business, including the ranch on the Fremont River at the foot of towering red ledges and permits on Boulder Mountain. Melva and Ted moved to the ranch in 1946 and by 1954 had added to their family another girl, Janice, and two sons, Forrest and Emmett. Their young married life was terribly hard work for this couple. While Ted raised livestock, tended fields, fixed machinery, diverted water, etc., Melva heated water and cooked on a coal stove, canned food from her garden, baked bread, sewed clothes, and hung laundry while raising five children. They were active in Teasdale’s church and civic matters and loved the other families in Teasdale. Melva was concerned about the education of her children and Ted had interests in the wider world, so they made the decision to move the family to Salt Lake City in 1957. Melva was both Primary President and Relief Society President in following years, including such duties as presiding over cupcake sales and bazaars. Because she loved her Salt Lake home, she was quite reluctant when her husband wanted to move to Hawaii. Ever the supportive wife, Melva agreed to move her family to Hawaii “for two years.” The Hawaii chapter of Melva’s life was challenging at first. She decided to finish her bachelor’s degree, so she enrolled in the University of Hawaii and went on to earn a high school teaching credential. She began her fulfilling teaching career in 1965 and taught school for 22 years. In 1966, Ted made another career change and move, this time to Los Angeles, California. Ted and Melva bought a home in west Los Angeles. Here they lived until their retirement when they moved to LaHabra, California. As time passed, they began to travel both on land and by sea. They went around the world and on many trips. It is noteworthy to say they went through the Panama Canal six times (or was it seven?). Through this time, both sons served missions and all children married and began having children, eventually reaching a total of 23 grandchildren. Their children were spread from Hawaii to the east coast, but they had get-togethers in Teasdale. Melva absolutely adored her grandchildren. She was so proud of any and all accomplishments and might have been a tad on the overbearing side when extolling their limitless virtues and strengths. Ted and Melva’s final years in LaHabra were happy ones. She became an unstoppable quilter, stitching for family, charity and friends. She loved serving others and often thought up reasons to take food to others or ways to cheer people up. Her love of learning lasted a lifetime and even when she was confined to bed, she read and listened to inspiring talks and books. She is survived by all her children: Teddy Louise Jackson (Andrew) of Pleasanton, California; Kathleen Hallstrom (James) of Kailua, Hawaii; Janice Schiefelbine (Daniel) of San Clemente, California; Forrest D. King (Marsha) of Gilbert, Arizona; and Emmett J. King (Brenda) of Snellville, Georgia. Her 23 grandchildren are scattered all over the U. S. Interment will be in the Teasdale, Utah Cemetery on Saturday, March 8th, with a graveside service at 11 am. In lieu of flowers the family ask that donations be made to the Perpetual Education Fund of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com I wasn’t too impressed with our big storm, but will take what we can get. I usually check what is happening in Southern California weather to see what will happen in our area. Everything pointed to the storm that drowned California would head here, the south winds and 4” to 6” of rain. We did not get the expected rain much to our disappointment. There were many mud slides in water short California, the ground was so hard the water just ran off, or down their drainage ditches and out to the ocean. Even with all of the rain they received it didn’t even dent the drought conditions. We are only at 40% of normal even after this storm, as has been the case for the last 4 years, or since the repair on the gate on the dam. The fasting and praying for the crops in our area will help. Next Sunday the 9th is the end of standard time till next November and we will be on day light savings time again. I don’t like it when it gets dark at 5:30 pm, dark is now up to 6:30 pm after two
months and dark will go to 7:30pm. Sunset will increase to 9:30 pm in late June, when it will reverse and the day light will shorten by 2 minutes each day. Remember to spring ahead, so you won’t be late for Church on Sunday. What we do is change the clocks on Friday night and then we go to sleep an hour early and the shock isn’t so bad getting up an hour earlier. I wish they would leave it on day light savings year around; it would save a lot on heating and electric bills. It’s March and Panguitch’s 150th birthday party is only a couple short weeks away, on the 22nd. No more ballgames so put the date on your calendar, there will be plenty of history, entertainment and cake, Next week I will include the Sesquicentennial events that are going to take place over the next few months. You may not believe it but is an election year, and the Caucus meetings will be held in March. A deal was struck with Count My Vote Initia-
tive that would create an alternative way for candidates to qualify for a primary election ballot. Next week we will know more. All of the County positions are up for vote this year except the Commissionaires. The Governor is trying to work out a deal to use Federal funds for the affordable health care that would help cover 110,000 folks that earn less than $15,000 a year. This insurance isn’t free; it will run between $400 and $500 a year. The hold up is with the
legislators, who are the only ones in the State on Socialize Medicine, for serving 6 weeks a year; they receive the best health care that the tax payers can buy, for free. Not only that if they can fool the public in to electing them for 10 years, they get free health insurance for life. It must be so nice to makeup your own laws, that only benefit you. Get involved in the electoral process and elect those that will care about the folks that put them in that position. Mack O.

Bryce Valley Area News by Vicki D. Syrett 679-8687 or vickidiane36@hotmail.com
On Saturday March 1st several students from Bryce Valley participated in the Southern Utah String Festival held in Cedar City at Canyon View High School. Entrants played two memorized pieces in front of 3 judges. First time entrants on cello Ellen Fagergren and Soleil Grimshaw both received superior ratings. Second year entrants on violin Brooklyn Steele and Blake Syrett also received superior ratings. Third year violin entrants Sabrina Grimshaw, Jacob Grimshaw, Skyler Ott, and Kage Ott all received superior ratings. This is the third year in a row they have received a superior rating and were awarded 3rd year gold cups. We are glad to hear that Brayson Williams is home and recuperating after a stay in the hospital. His parents are Shawn and Jana Williams of Tropic. It is always a scare when we have to put one of our own in the hospital so we are happy Brayson is home with his brothers and sisters and parents. The Senior Citizen Bus has a full schedule of activities coming up. If you are interested in any of them please give Doug or VIcki Ahlstrom a call on 679-8921 or 679-8666. The would love to have you join in the fun times shared by those who go on these trips. On March 14th they will be going to Cedar City and St. George. On April 14th they will be traveling to Richfield to attend the “Five Browns” in concert at the Sevier Center. If you would like to go to this concert the tickets cost $19 for balcony seats and $23 for floor seats. Call and let Vicki know you are going and get your money to her ASAP so she can pay for the tickets before they are all gone. Last Friday the Senior Bus went to Richfield and Manti. Traveling on this trip were Doug & Vicki , Jerry & Carol Pollock, Catherine Littlefield, Marcia Evans, Glenna Fletcher, Ramona Morreale, Lance & Marie Jagger, and Karin Barker. Come on out and join them on the next trip. Anita Fletcher and daughter, Erica went down to Mesa, Arizona for five days to visit with Jon and Stephanie Scott and family and while they were there they also visited with Robert and Shelley Fletcher and their four kids. It was a good trip Anita said but she got sick and came home to be laid up for a few days. Kind of ruins the trip doesn’t it. They reported that the weather was very nice and even in spite of sickness enjoyed the time with family. We want Jim and Sheree Walsted to know we keep them in our thoughts and prayers at
this time. We love you guys and want you to know that we hope things will get better for you so you can enjoy the summer coming up. The Tropic Relief Society Presidency would like you to gather your favorite 3, 4 or 5 ingredient recipe for a coming up cook book. They would love to include your recipe in their book. Called to serve as Assistant Compassionate Leader was Kathy Greening and Collette Mathews was called as the Assistant Organist in the Henrieville Ward. Oh-oh time springs ahead on Sunday, March 9th. We lose that hour of sleep. Darn it. Women’s Basketball: We are planning a fun game for Bryce Valley women to play against the Varsity girls of the BVHS Baskeball team. It is planned to be held on April 12th as a fund raiser for Logann Eagar to help the family get the rest of the money they need to have their “Memory Making” trip together. If you would like to practice we are going to start having some scrimmage games in the gym of the Tropic Church--not the best but we can get in shape--Saturdays at 8:00-10:00 AM. This is not required for the whole practice just to accommodate everyone. Can’t wait to see you there!! (Mindy Grimshaw) If the people in the Bryce Valley area haven’t heard, we
have a chance to get a splash pad in our area for 1/3 the retail cost. A company has offered to put it in on their off season with a huge discount. We have several donations but are short the full amount. We are searching for donations from some businesses that would be willing to donate so we can offer this attraction for our children, grandchildren and any tourists traveling through. These splash pads recycle the water through a filter so there is little impact on resources. Please comment or contact Angela Steele if you
would like to donate. We don’t need the money up front but we do need to know we can cover the costs. This would be going into Tropic Town Park. Congratulations to Carter Mortensen and Chandlyr Tebbs on obtaining the rank of Eagle Scout. Way to go gentlemen. Please have a safe week and pray for more rain. What we had was great but we are still short of the water needed for this summer. Also call in your news or email it to me. Thanks VS.

WEDDINGS
TORREY NEWZ by Adus F. Dorsey II
adjustment, the chair hums on command into a more comfortable position and he tells me, “leadership is not a title that you can buy, it is a role we all have the opportunity to play through out our lives starting in childhood, like respect it is something learned and earned through hard work and determination. Our most important leaders are those that know all to well their own strengths and the strengths of others, and they constantly encourage them”. Then Meeks raises his index finger on his right hand, waving it at the air above his Lazy Boy recliner as if to make to make it behave and says, “the all or nothing individuals never make it, they are only emotional amateurs, it is a type of faulty thinking often includes the inability to see the alternatives in a situation or solutions to a problem.” Barely making a move I use the moment to take a sip of water and swallow as silently as possible. With out conflict there would be no change, get used to it, often times things will get worse before they can get better, don’t focus on the flaws, focus on the cause. “What is your cause, is it to be only half as good or find a way to do half the job you did yesterday?” I shifted uncomfortable in my chair hopeful Meeks did not see me as one that would lie and answer no. He didn’t and he said so, Meeks challenged me to commit myself to be a better person everyday and to never look back and never give up. Advice I personally believe and continue to live by to this day. Stand up and take your take your lumps and learn from them, to walk away is to deny yourself the opportunity to master your mistakes. It is the challenges / obstacles in life that are the road we all will have to walk to become a better person than we were yesterday. Rip off the BandAid quickly and get stung for a bit? Or slowly peel it off so

Meeks Morrell you don’t really notice? Like Grasshopper in the TV series Kung Fu; I was all ears while Meeks spoke. By this time in mine and Meeks conversation I was sure it was nearing midnight or the witching hour and I had surely worn out my welcome, but to my surprise it was only seven thirty and I had only been at Meeks for about forty five minutes. Having been in Meeks presence I am always a better person, the same feeling I get when I am the company of all the great ones in Wayne County, like Jack King, Dunc Taylor, Bliss Brinkerhoff, Boyd Black, Dee and Berneal Hatch, Guy and Barbra Pace, Remola Woolsey and a long list of others. Signs of spring are in the air even though the weather forecast on my iphone says wintry conditions can be expected in 87 minutes, I doubt it even though it is supposed to be a smart phone. The canal on Main-Street has been burned and the smoke has cleared making way for the water and beavers that that will surely come. There are signs of life at some of the businesses that closed for the winter and the ones like Red Cliffs and the Rim Rock Patio that stayed open seem to be enjoying brisk attendance. In compliance with the Division of Drinking Water continuing education unit (CEU) requirements Torrey
Town attended the Utah Rural Water Association (URWA) conference in St. George where Wayne County was well represented by Scott Woolsey, John Jackson, Cody Clark and others. There were over seventeen hundred participants and hundreds of exhibitors that attended classes and seminars, or pitched their products and services. The URWA mission statement is to provide professional training, services, and representation for water and wastewater members to help enhance the quality of services to their customers. Torrey Town as well as all communities in Wayne County and statewide rely heavily on the expertise that the URWA provides. Torrey Town has two certified water system operators to ensure that the water provided to our customers is constant and safe, and we take that responsibility serious. Torrey Town proudly and professionally services an area the size of Texas compared to the town itself with approximately 500 connections in and out of town. In conjunction with the Wayne County Office of Tourism Torrey Town is in high gear to welcome back the Tour of Utah on August 5th 2014.

It is not that often that I find myself in the vicinity of St. George, but when I do, I make it a high priority to go visit with Bicknell’s own Meeks Morrell, my friend, my mentor. Although Meeks lives in St. George, Meeks continues to keep a warm-hearted finger on the pulse of Wayne County. And I would be wiling to say he knows more about what goes on in Wayne County than many of the folks that live here and he always knows the right words to say. A visit with Meeks Morrell is sort of like an experience from the book “Tuesdays with Morrie” by author Mitch Albom, only with a Wayne County twist. Personally I like Meeks version of the world we live in a lot better than Morries because Meeks lived a long life in Wayne County, and is always willing to share a positive and productive reflection of the way life was, is and ought to be. To paraphrase, and in the infinite wisdom and the words of Meeks Morrell “The only thing in Wayne County that has really changed in the last hundred years is the players, to deal with what needs to take place in the community you can either step up or stand back, your choice, and there will always those that stand back the furthest that have the most to say”. Meeks is the Dad that I never took the time to get to know and I can’t seem to learn enough about him, and what makes it so special is that the feeling is mutual. Maybe it is just me, but I doubt it, Meeks makes me feel what I am doing is important, and Meeks will tell you straight up there is no “trying”, it is either Do or Do not because there is no in between. “Why would you even consider an attempt to apply for, or ask anyone to hire/elect you to do a job if all you were willing to do was just try.” Pressing a button on his remote control to his Lazy Boy recliner Meeks makes a minor

UT Leg. Recognizes “Atrocities” Against Native Americans SALT LAKE CITY Lawmakers in Utah have passed a resolution that recognizes “atrocities” committed against Native Americans and calls on Congress to build a national museum that also would recognize the atrocities. Rep. Jack Draxler is the House sponsor of Senate Joint Resolution 1 (SJR 1). He saID the “Joint Resolution on Museum Recognizing Atrocities Against American Indians” is the State of Utah acknowledging the suffering that early Native Americans endured at the hands of nonNatives. “It is simply an acknowledgement that some terrible things happened in our past that have affected our Native American brothers and sisters for generations. We’re simply saying it’s time to acknowledge those,” Draxler said. The resolution points out that the Native American population was reduced to just 237,000 people by 1900. It also states that the “Immense population reduction was caused by disease or intentionally, and was intensified by forced migration, deprivation of nutrition and neglect after relocation to unfamiliar, barren lands.” Draxler, who sits on the House Native American Legislative Liaison Committee, hopes the resolution helps to heal centuries-old emotional wounds among Native Americans. He said a new national museum should honor those who lost their lives, and also celebrate the contributions of Native Americans to America. “We’ve under-recognized their contribution in terms of their religion, their arts, their culture and their individual members who have achieved great things,” he said. Copies of SJR 1 are being sent to President Obama and Congress. The resolution is available at http://le.utah.gov. —Troy Wilde, Utah News Connection

Practical Money Matters
Money Saving Tips for Seniors by Jason Alderman
We all love a good bargain, no matter what our age. But if you’re a senior citizen on a fixed income, finding discounted goods and services can mean the difference between making ends meet and going without. The good news is that tons of senior discounts are available – often for people as young as 50. One caveat right up front: Although many senior discounts are substantial, you sometimes can find better bargains – especially on travelrelated expenses like airfare, hotels and rental cars. So always do your research first before requesting the senior rate. Here’s a roundup of some of the best senior discounts I’ve found: An AARP membership costs only $16 a year for anyone over age 50, including free membership for spouses or partners (www.aarp.org). AARP’s discounts website features discounts on dozens of products and services including rental cars, hotels, restaurants, clothing and department store chains. AARP also offers an inexpensive driver safety course for drivers over 50 (members and nonmembers alike) that can lower auto insurance premiums by up to 10 percent or more. Popular AARP discounts include: • 20 percent discount on installation or upgrades to ADT home security systems. • 45 percent off membership to Angie’s List. • 20 percent off purchases from 1-800-FLOWERS. com. • Up to 25 percent off car rentals from Avis and Budget. • Up to 20 percent discount at many hotel chains including Hyatt, Hilton, Wyndham, Best Western, Days Inn and Ramada, among others. • 10 to 20 percent off at many
restaurant chains, including Claim Jumper, Denny’s and Outback Steakhouse. • 15 percent off many Geek Squad services from Best Buy. • A free 45-minute consultation with an Allstate Legal Services Network attorney, as well as 20 percent off member attorneys’ fees. A quick Google search will uncover numerous other senior discount resources. One popular site is SeniorDiscounts.com, an online directory of more than 220,000 U.S. business locations that offer discounts to people over 50. Registration is free, although they also offer a $12.95/year premium that offers membersonly discounts and other perks. Other good sites include Brad’s Deals, Sciddy.com and Savvy Senior. Other commonly available senior discounts include: • A 15 percent discount on the lowest available rail fare on most Amtrak trains for travelers over age 62. • Greyhound offers a 5 percent discount on unrestricted fares (over 62). • Southwest Airlines offers senior fares (over 65). Although not necessarily their lowest available rates, Southwest’s senior fares are fully refundable. • The U.S. Geologic Survey senior pass (over 62) provides free lifetime access to more than 2,000 government-managed recreational
Jeni - 435-425-2217
sites (including national parks), as well as discounts on camping and other amenities. Senior passes cost $10 in person or $20 by mail (http://store.usgs.gov/pass/ senior.html). • Verizon Wireless offers discounted mobile phone service for subscribers over 65. • Both Walgreens and Rite Aid offer monthly senior discount days for members of their rewards programs when most non-prescription items are 15 to 20 percent off. Ask your neighborhood pharmacy if they offer similar programs. In addition, many restaurants, department stores, movie theaters, museums, theme parks, banks, credit card issuers, utilities (including gas and electric, water, garbage, telephone and cable) and other businesses offer special discounts or promotions for seniors. Always ask before your purchase is rung up. Bottom line: Abundant resources are available to help seniors save money on purchases large and small. You just have to do a little research – and ask whether senior discounts are available. Remember, 10 percent here and 20 percent there can really add up.
