ORLANDO, FL - Breonna Hammon, spokesperson for the national Youth Leadership Council (YLC) and a student at Mohave Community College in Colorado City, Arizona, today addressed more than 8,500 electric cooperative leaders from across the country at the 2015 Annual Meeting of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA). In 2014, Hammon, a member of Garkane Energy Cooperative, Inc., was chosen by Utah’s Youth Tour participants to serve as a delegate to the Youth Leadership Council. At the YLC Leadership Conference, her fellow delegates selected her to serve as national spokesperson for the 42-member council. Standing before the co-
op leaders, Hammon offered the following reflection on her Youth Tour experience in Washington, D.C.: … [S]ome of my favorite moments happened sitting on the bus, traveling from point A to point B. Conversing with young adults so much like me, and yet so different. Challenging each other’s statistics, exchanging our favorite presidents. And it was in moments such as these that suddenly it did not matter what the girl to the right of me was wearing, it did not matter that the boy to the left of me had just told me he has never had a bed of his own. All of which were things that could have very easily classified us, labeled us, made Youth Leadership Cont'd on page 2
Winter Finally Arrives at Bryce Canyon National Park; Perfect Conditions for Cross-Country Skiing at Ruby’s Inn
Garkane Energy linemen and due to snow. LOA - Garkane Energy has received many inquiries as to why power goes out in some snowstorms and not all. Some snow is very dense and has a lot of moisture content and in the right temperature can cause heavy build-ups on the power lines. Snow in freezing temperatures doesn’t build up on the line as much as snow in warmer temperatures. Once snow builds up on the lines, the weight can break crossarms, causing faults in the lines. As snow builds up on trees, it can cause branches to fall into the lines, and as the electricity grounds, it causes power to blink on and off. After this occurs a few times, a built-in safety precaution will automatically shut the power off. Our tree-trimming effort helps prevent a lot of this from occurring frequently. There were outages throughout Gar-

Garkane would like to thank its members for your patience this week as crews worked long, hard, hours dayand-night in the cold to restore power. The delays in restoring power is because access to some of these rural lines is only accessible by hiking, ATV’s, snowmobile, or via Sno-cats. Garkane feels very fortunate to have understanding
members who respond via Facebook to say thank you, and offer messages of hope for our lineman’s safety as they work quickly to restore power. We do our very best to communicate updates and restoration efforts through Facebook so members can plan around these unfortunate long outages caused by the weather.

BRYCE CANYON CITY - Historic Ruby’s Inn is celebrating the best crosscountry skiing conditions the resort has seen in recent memory. “We’ve got the groomers working overtime to get the trails ready for guests,” said Jean Seiler, director of marketing for Ruby’s Inn. “We hope visitors get to enjoy these prime conditions before they’re gone.” Recent winter storms dropped more than two feet of snow along the network of
trails accessible from Ruby’s Inn, which provides the closest available lodging to Bryce Canyon National Park. The 15 km of groomed trails navigate through the resort’s expansive property and then into Dixie National Forest. Skiers experience the variety of winding through groves of Ponderosa pines and then into open areas with incredible scenic overlooks. “Getting out on the trails—either on skis or snowshoes—is one of the best ways to experience Bryce Canyon,”
Seiler said. “And best of all, there’s no charge to access our trail system.” Seiler added that conditions are also perfect for snowmobiling or just taking in the rare sight of thousands of crimson rock formations, called hoodoos, covered with white snow. Cross-country skis and snowshoes are available for rent at Ruby’s Inn. For more information on winter activities, visit: www.rubysinn.com or call 435-834-5341. —Ruby's Inn

Thank You
Dear Neighbors of Escalante, Ed and I want to thank everyone in town for demonstrating so much support, love and care after my brain surgery. After a week’s stay at the University of Utah hospital, my second Mom, Ricki took us in and fed my sweet husband for my first three days back in Escalante. Upon waking-up my first day home I was greeted with a bouquet of flowers from Garth’s garden. The week before, Wanda brought me my favorite fruit which kept my nervousness at bay. The day we left, I carried a gift bag from Marian with warm fuzzy socks and lollipops: I’m sure her super-power is thoughtfulness. Because of Karen Munson, her sister Marilyn got up super early to keep Ed, a perfect stranger, company during my eight hour surgery: We are both so grateful for her generosity of kindness. Unexpectedly, Mark, Page, Steve and Alex just happened to be at the hospital upon our arrival and I felt relieved to know such good, friendly people were there to comfort Ed: We thank you. Harriet sent me a sweet box of smiles while I was still in my hospital bed. Cherished friends, anonymous neighbors and the Escalante Home Center helped us make ends meet so Ed could care for me. While home recuperating, thankfully people brought Ed food to eat or he may not have survive my recovery! Truth be told, we were convinced to move to Escalante because of the warm welcome we received from Mayor Jerry Taylor and Monica, and years later their warmth, kindness and integrity remain steadfast: We thank you for your generosity of friendship. Town churches sent me loving cards signed by the congregations that made me cry and I was given a comfort quilt that represents a community that walks the talk and loves their neighbors. We can’t imagine going through this challenge anywhere else in the world. The town’s generosity is overwhelming and deeply touches our hearts. We thank you Escalante, you have all become family to us and we will strive to be your good neighbor. Michelle & Ed O’Kane, Escalante
Utah Prairie Dog Plan Approved
Plan will increase prairie dog numbers while helping private landowners SALT LAKE CITY- If you own land where Utah prairie dogs live in southwestern Utah, action taken on March 5 might affect you. That day, members of the Utah Wildlife Board approved the Utah Prairie Dog Management Plan for Non-federal Lands. The plan makes it easier to remove prairie dogs from private property and place those prairie dogs on public land. Placing the prairie dogs on public land should speed their recovery and give them a better chance of being removed from the federal Endangered Species list. You can review a draft copy of the plan, which is now final, at www.wildlife. utah.gov/public_meetings/ rac/2015-03_rac_packet.pdf. Everyone wins Found only in southwestern Utah, Utah prairie dogs were placed on the federal Endangered Species list in 1973. Until late 2014, all Utah prairie dogs in the state were managed by the federal government. Then, last November, a ruling in federal court returned management authority—for Utah prairie dogs that are not found on federal land—back to the state of Utah. Kevin Bunnell, regional supervisor for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR), says the plan removes federal restrictions that have created difficulties for those living in residential areas. “Through the plan,” he says, “we’re hoping to give private landowners some relief while still allowing Utah prairie dogs to recover. In fact, we
think the plan will speed the recovery of the species.” In the course of compiling the plan, DWR biologists met with 20 entities. The entities included locally elected officials in southwestern Utah, federal land managers, government representatives at both the state and federal levels, and the Utah Farm Bureau, which represents thousands of landowners in the state. Bunnell says the plan has widespread support in southern Utah. “I think the reason why is simple,” he says. “We met with key stakeholders, many of whom represent those who live with prairie dogs every day. We listened to what they had to say. We did our best to address their concerns.” The following are some highlights from the plan: · Some Utah prairie dogs live in residential areas that aren’t critical to the recovery of the species. Under the new plan, it will now be easier to move prairie dogs from those areas to public land that has the habitat and the room needed for the prairie dogs to thrive. · In the past, restrictions have been placed on private property that doesn’t have prairie dogs on it but might in the future. Those restrictions have been lifted. · Landowners who have 50 or more prairie dogs on their property can now be compensated for crop losses and damage caused by Utah prairie dogs. —Utah Division of Wildlife Resources

SB296: LDS apostles and LGBT leaders endorse religious liberty and non-discrimination bill by Aaron Hastings, Capital West News SALT LAKE CITY — Two LDS Church apostles and members of Utah’s LGBT community, along with key lawmakers, announced what some are calling a “historic” compromise to balance religious liberty rights with nondiscrimination protection for lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender individuals. Elders L. Tom Perry and D. Todd Christofferson, both members of the LDS Church Council of the Twelve, and Sister Neill F. Marriott spoke at the March 4 news conference in the Capitol’s ornate Gold Room. Troy Williams of Equality Utah, Sen. Jim Debakis, D-Salt Lake City and bill sponsors Sen. Stephen Urquhart, R-St. George; Sen. J. Stuart Adams, R-Layton; and Rep. Brad L. Dee, R-Ogden, also addressed the media. All endorsed SB296 and its protection of rights for all Utahns. The bill will get its first hearing Thursday, March 5, at 8 a.m. in Room 250 of the Capitol Complex’s Senate Building. The bill only has a week to make it through the Legislature, which closes on March 12. “It is better that both sides get most of what is desired than to have a winner-takeall approach where one side loses,” Christofferson said. “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is pleased today to support SB296, antidiscrimination and religious freedom amendments.” The bill’s joint Senate

sponsors, Urquhart and Adams, both spoke on the importance of the bill as a bridge between the LGBT community and people of faith. “This issue between religious liberties and anti-discrimination can be, in fact at times, controversial or divisive,” Adams said. “We found a way to bring those issues together, have respect for one another, have respect for all, freedom for all, and actually try to make sure that we respect the rights of some, but do not infringe on the rights of others.” The bill specifically deals with issues of employment and housing, trying to balance the controversial issues regarding rights of employers and employees, regardless of an employee’s religious beliefs or sexual orientation. “Faith can move mountains,” Urquhart said. “Today we announce to the people of Utah, the nation and the world, that we commit to move a mountain.” Speakers regarded SB296 as a historic step. “I think it’s monumental that we’ve been able to do that today,” Adams said. “If Utah can do this, it can be done anywhere else in the nation.” Dabakis, co-founder of Equality Utah, also spoke at the news conference, emphasizing his gratitude at the unity of all parties, and the strides taken in holding civil discussions about important and sensitive issues. “This is our message to the world, that we can take tough issues, one of the great social issues of our time, and we can be reasonable, we can be respectful, we can be civil, we can find common ground, and we can make Utah an even greater state,” Dabakis said. Troy Williams, executive director at Equality Utah, said that the bill reflects unity within the community. “The legislation that we pass this session will provide hope for thousands of LGBT youth living in Utah.” said Williams, “We will send a message to them that you belong in Utah. This is your home.”

It was startling enough to learn that Rep. Mike Noel doesn't appreciate that our scenic 'All-American Road' (Hwy 12, located within his own district) attracted tourists from all over the world and generated over $12 million last year alone for Garfield County. But I couldn't have imagined a more bold attempt to usurp local control by a tea party stalwart like Noel than what he has done with HB 407. That is, until it became obvious whom he is working for. The current law—HB 407—allows for protection of Utah's designated scenic byways that draw tourism to our state and assures federal dollars to help UDOT to maintain them. This law also protects quality of life and property values for owners along these scenic routes, and guarantees tourism dollars for businesses near them, as well. But Noel seeks to change all that. In this 2015 session he has amended HB 407 (http://le.utah.gov/~2015/bills/static/HB0407. html) to eliminate those protections altogether by exploiting the notion of 'property rights" in such a way as to obfuscate and distort what is truly at stake. And even more shockingly, his amendment was passed on to the full House for a vote, which will come up soon. Based on Noel's amendment of HB 407, 'property right' doesn't mean the right to protect your quality of life or your property values. His version refers the right to do anything without thought about how it might affect anyone or anything else, even the state of the state. In his amended bill, it means to be able to profit from leasing space to the billboard industry on a scenic byway parcel, whether or not it destroys the views & property values of other owners, diminishes tourism, and stifles business in the area Perhaps Noel hopes his colleagues in the House & Senate won't notice or won't care that the one and only safeguard has been removed from the bill. A safeguard that allowed local municipalities to review & determine whether a billboard on a parcel along the stretch through their domain would threaten local property values, ruin scenic vistas, and harm their local tourism economy—the major employer and economic driver in many Utah rural counties. The banished safeguard once required that applicants wanting to "segment" off their property from scenicbyway designation would go through a local municipal review which included an option to appeal. Noel's startling amendment nixed that process by stating that permits "shall" (not "may") be granted (immediately and without review) to any applicant with owner's consent. That's it. Under his amendment, Reagan Billboards will be able, with 'rancher Joe's consent, to apply for the permit, get automatic approval, and let Joe cash in while the billboard goes up. It's frighteningly that simple. With Noel's reworking of the bill, there's no review, no delay. Just apply, and neighboring property owners, towns, counties, local businesses and anyone who values scenic beauty can just be damned. Ty Markham, PsyD, is a member of the Torrey City Council.

School District Change
by Mack Oetting
With the cancelation of school last week in the Bryce Valley and Panguitch schools, we are required to make-up the instructional day to be compliant with the 180 day requirement set by the State School Board. For this reason, we are unable to simply extend the instructional time on a Friday because it is already counted as one of the 180 days of instruction. In order for the District to be compliant with 180 day statute, we must add an additional day of instruction to the school calendar to make-up the school cancelation. Boulder Elementary, Bryce Valley Elementary, Bryce Valley High School, Panguitch Elementary, Panguitch Middle and Panguitch High School will attend a regular full day of school on Wednesday April 1st and a half day of school on April 2nd. Please know, we understand families may have plans for Spring Break and if the change in the school schedule has interfered with those plans, we apologize for any inconvenience. I would also like to make you aware of two social networking platforms Garfield School District is using to more effectively communicate with parents and the communities. Follow the District on these social networking webpages: https://www.facebook.com/GarfieldSchools or on Twitter @ GarfieldSchools. The District will use the social networking communication to provide you with instant messages from the District. Please take time to follow Garfield School District so we can communicate more effectively with you. —Superintendent Ben Dalton
The Badger Bulletin by Sage Blackburn
Students at Wayne High School got the chance to give back in a big way. On Wednesday, American Red Cross showed up at 8:00 a.m. at the high school for students to participate in giving blood. All day, students and walk-in donors provided muchneeded blood to the Red Cross as a way to give back to the community. "There are a lot of accidents in the winter," a student said. "People need blood." Members of HOSA registered donors and provided water and snacks to donors all day in the lieu of classes. When asking a nurse the importance of blood donation, she said, “I think it’s important for the students to do this, to give back to their community. For the students who are donating, not only are they giving back to their community this way, they are saving lives. That’s a huge impact that I think for them to realize that at this age that they can impact others even if it is as simple as donating blood.” Sage Blackburn is a senior at Wayne High School

scoring column. Bryce Valley and Diamond Ranch also won their play in games, and Region 20 had all 6 teams in the play offs. Bryce Valley and Piute supplied the most exciting game of the tournament. Bryce Valley down by 6 points with 30 seconds to go, came back to win the game by 1 point. A Mustang player came down and sank a 3 pointer, when Piute came back down they lost the ball and the mustangs called time out with 5 seconds left and being down by 3. When BV in bounded the ball, a Thunderbird wrapped up the Mustang in a bear hug and got called for an intentional foul, giving BV two free throws, which they made and the ball back with 4.5 seconds left, the Mustang player took the ball to the hoop for the game winner. In the first round the Cats had an easy time with St. Joseph with a lopsided victory, 56 to 29. This time it was Dason Houston turn to lead the Cats with a big 25 points, Trey kick in 18 points and the Cats were on a roll. As has been the Cats problem with games that they lost, they got off to a real slow start only scoring 4 points in the first quarter. The Cats trailed the Pirates at half time15 to 23. The Cats sucked it up and came out and cut into the Pirates lead down to 6 in the 4th quarter. The Bob Cats got their first lead with 30 seconds to go in the game and seemed to have the upper hand. Green River came down the court and took a shot that came up short, but their star TS Hughes, got two rebounds and on the third attempt put up the go ahead bucket. The Cats had time to get the ball down court, but the player got trapped and it led to a quick shot that went wide. Danson was the leading scorer with 15 and Trey ended up with 12 and 8 rebounds. The Cats had their hands full with Tabiona but won a close game 55 to 51. The Cats advanced in the tournament, behind the massive game by Trey Barney who scored 23 points and grabbed 15 rebounds. The Tigers led by 20 to 17 in the 1st quarter, but the Cats shut them down in the 2nd for only 4 points and took it to half time with a 31 to 24.

Mycrae Tebbs had 9 points and Freshman Jace Eyre added 8. In the 5th place game the Cats played the Tintic Miners and came away with a 12 point victory, 58 to 46. Again Trey had a monster night with 24 pts and 8 rebounds Dason also had another big game with 20 pts. The game was close at half time with the Cat leading 24 to 21, but the Miners coach didn’t put their high scoring big man (13 pts in the first half) back in the game in the second half, just for a few minutes and this allowed the Cats to pull away to a 12 pt. victory. The Bob Cats played 5 games in 5 nights and only had one loss and that was by one point. These guys played hard in every game and with a little luck who knows. The Cats only lose one senior and have some good looking freshmen players and the future is coming up with a very bright outlook. Trey Barney a 10th grader, had an MVP year, he finished the year with 497 points for an 18.4 average, 226 rebounds and 59 steals. I didn’t see anyone else in the tournament that was any better than Trey. Rich Rebels won its first Basketball Championship, downing the Green River Pirates 65 to 45. Region 20 was well represented, with Bryce Valley in 4th PHS 5th and Valley in 6th. Back to the girls, on some of the things I left off. Darri Frandsen and Catania Holman were named to the All-Academic State Team. In the 1A All-tournament Team: Darri Frandsen was named MVP and Chesney Campbell and Catania Holman are on the team. This Saturday there will be an All Star Game in Monroe, sponsored by their Lions Club. Darri and Catania will be playing in the game that starts at 5.00 pm and will be between the 1A and 2A teams. It has been a wonderful basketball season with both of Bob Cat teams playing some really fun games, thanks kids you are the best. Up next is track season and both of the Cats are big favorites to repeat as champs.

Garn D. Turner 1920 - 2015
LOA - Our wonderful, kind and loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, Garn Daniel Turner, age 94, passed away peacefully at the home of his daughter Lila, in Cedar City on March 3, 2015. He was born October 9, 1920 in Loa, Utah, a son of Ray Emmannuel and Lila Avelia Brian Turner. He graduated from Wayne High School, Class of 1938. He married his sweetheart, Geneve Duncan, March 12, 1945 in Bicknell, Utah. Their marriage was solemnized in the Manti LDS Temple, March 18, 1972. Geneve died November 17, 2014. He was married to his sweetheart for 69 years. He missed her immensely and followed her in death only three months later. After high school graduation, Garn attended Utah State University. He lost his hearing at this time and was unable to continue his education. He learned to live life, dealing with this handicap, with the help of his sweetheart, Geneve. In his early years, Garn herded sheep, farmed for Arthur Brian, worked at Nelson Ricks Creamer with Blaine Chappell in Loa, making cheese; raised potatoes, and then was employed by Utah Department of Transportation in the Soils Lab, building highways. He was indeed proud of his contribution in the construction of the road to Lake Powell. He retired from UDOT in 1986. Garn was a good neighbor, wonderful husband, father and grandpa. He was a member of the LDS Church and served in various positions over the years. He was an avid sports fan and a great fisherman, spending many hours fishing for Mack at Fish Lake, or trolling at Otter Creek, Forsyth and Mill Meadow Reservoirs. He refereed high school basketball for many years with Vearl Taylor. He is survived by his children: Kenneth and Carolyn Turner of Helper; Monte and Jeanine Turner of Richfield; Lila Bowden of Cedar City; Carol and Rollo Brinkerhoff of Neola; Wesley and Victoria Turner and Michael Turner, all of Salt Lake City; 17 grandchildren; 34 great-grandchildren; a sister-in-law: Thelma Paulson of Salt Lake City. He is preceded in death by his parents; his beloved wife; and his siblings: Kirk and Fern Turner; Beth and Arnold Downard; Brian and Louise Turner; a great-granddaughter, Karlee Jack; and a son-in-law, Greg Bowden. Funeral services will be held Monday, March 9, 2015 at 12 Noon in the Loa LDS Stake Center, where friends may call for viewing Monday morning from 10:00 to 11:30 prior to the services.

March 12, 2015
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com That was some storm that we had last week, I believe it was the most snow that we have had at one time in the twenty two years that we have lived here. The snow was up to the top of our fences about 2 feet and was badly needed. John Orton thought it was the most snow in 60 years and the ranchers who did a lot of calving in good weather in January and February are having a lot of fun pulling the calves out of the snow. That’s a whole lot of work, wading through waist high snow to carry out those little critters. If the warm weather comes back, we will be up to our neck in mud. With the power off for six hours on Monday morning, it was hard to find out the extent of the area the storm had hit. Going up to SLC on Wednesday it didn’t seem that it snowed that much north of Highway 70. By Sunday Brian Head had 40” of the white stuff, plus Monday's storm to give the skiers some great powders to plow through. Dave Etter thought that they had 4’ up at the Lake where it is really badly needed. With the passing of Kendell Brinkerhoff, it brings to a close the dialysis trips over to Cedar City. These trips have been going on for over five years and the families would like to thank all of the drivers who made this very badly needed service possible over this time. This made it possible for these patients to extend their time with their families for some time. I understand that the Red Canyon Indian Store has been sold, to the corporation, Forever Resorts. The store has been owned by the Arthur Tebbs family for many years. I have been told it will be kept the same, with the sale of In-
dian jewelry and clothing and camp ground, but they will add a restaurant. The store was closed last summer due to ill health and is a land mark in our area. If the snow goes away, we could see the opening, a little early, of Henries Drive in. So you might want to get in line for those great burgers. The job market took a big jump in February as the unemployment rate dropped to 5.5 percent. This is the lowest rate in 7 years and down from 11% 6 years ago during the big recession. U.S. employers added a solid 295,000 jobs, a level that is considered a healthy job market. This is the 12 straight monthly gains of over 200,000 jobs. This is the longest such stretch since 1994-1995. However wages are remaining sluggish due to the ruling powers refusing to raise the minimum wages. The big scare! that the businesses having to pay for health insurance or pay big fines, would be cutting jobs, is proving not to be true. I read an article that I found interesting. When I grew up, there was the scare of being a Typhoid Mary. When anyone got sick you didn’t get near them because of that title. Mary was an actual real person, her name was Mary Mallon and she worked as a cook. In 1907 when Mary was 37, she was approach by a man that wanted a little bit of her blood, urine and feces. She chased him away with a big fork. The man was a sanitary engineer investigational a typhoid outbreak at a house in Oyster Bay, Long Island, where Mary worked as a cook. She was a healthy carrier of the typhoid disease and when she tested positive for the disease she was moved
by the Dept. of Health to the North Bother Island, which had quarantine housing. It was felt that Mary had infected as many as 47 that led to 3 deaths. She was released in 1910, with the promise that she wouldn’t work again as a cook. However she was caught, after 5 years, cooking at a hospital that was undergoing a typhoid outbreak. This marks the 100th anniversary since Mary was arrested the second time and this time she was quarantined for the rest of her life, or 27 years, on the North Brother Island. In the legislature, our Mike Noel has a bill HB407. This bill addresses the protection from blight along the state’s scenic by ways, particularly along the Scenic Highway 12, between Capitol Reef and Bryce Canyon. This highway generates 12 million in visitor’s dollars for Garfield Co. The law currently allows for agreements between property owners in the scenic byway areas to put up billboards up on those privately held properties as long as they are in non-scenic areas. The current law also respects local control and provides for the local cities, town
and country governments to review the agreements between the landowners and billboard companies to veto such agreements if the local authorities believe it would compromise the scenic vistas so important to southern Utah’s tourist industry. Noel amended it to take out the section giving local government’s review and veto power. There weren’t any representatives either from the Utah League of Towns, The Scenic Byway 12 Committee nor from the tourism industry. The room was filled with billboards company lobbyists. (From an article from the SLC Tribune) I hate billboards, when you enter our town from the north, what do you see? An ugly billboard, hopefully the trees will continue to grow and cover it up. Leaving town the same thing, an ugly billboard and is that what you remember of our town? A good example of what’s to come, when you turn onto Highway12 those billboard signs really take away the beautiful scenery of Red Canyon. Isn’t that extra daylight wonderful. Mack O.

The Tropic Relief Society Birthday Party will be held on March 18th at 6:00 P.M. for ladies only. Dinner will be provided so come and bring your friends and neighbors with you. Casual dress. Hope to see you there. Katie Stewart wants to thank all the ladies who came out to the "Dress a Girl Around the World" project evening. Also thank you to those who made dresses at home or donated material to help with this FCCLA Project of Katie's. Thirty dresses were finished and this was a great turnout for making this project successful. Thirty people came to make the dresses. These dresses will go to countries around the world. Usually in Africa, but other countries benefit at well. Labels are sewn on the outside of the dresses so it is visible and this protects the girls receiving the dresses by showing that they are under an organizations care. Way to go ladies and Katie thanks for getting everyone together to do this worthwhile project. Wade Barney from Es-
calante spoke in Cannonville today. Kinzy Twitchell was baptized by her father, Cole, today. She is the daughter of Cole and Janice Twitchell and the granddaughter of Lamonte and Rita Twitchell of Cannonville and the Redd's of Blanding Utah. There was a good attendance supporting the family on this eventful day. Henrieville held a Ward Family Home Evening and everyone had a great time. The next one will be held on April 15th. Greg Christensen just released as the High Councilman spoke and the so did the new High Councilman, John Meisenbach. Samantha Chynoweth,and Isaac Johnson were the youth speakers Ken and Artoise Platt had a lot of family company this past weekend. Kept them busy and happy to see them all. In Tropic Sam Cloud gave his Homecoming talk and Travis Shakespear also spoke. Echelle Pollock was released as a Primary Teacher and is now working with the Young Women.
We have had a busy last couple of weeks. What with the basketball tournaments, snow storms, power outages, and just plain life we have kept busy. Some of us stayed home and watched the Boys 1A basketball tournament on TV and rooted just as loud as those in the arena for our Bryce Valley boys. Good job boys and we are very proud of you and your good sportsmanship. Congratulations on taking the 4th place in the tournament. We also want the announcers to know that we appreciate their announcing the games and telling us little bits of news here and there. Mike Ahl-
strom and David Tebbs along with John Yardley and others it made it easier for us to follow the games. We were delighted when they started posting the teams in the blue box so that we could tell who was who. Green uniforms looked black and so did blue and that was confusing to us. But most of all thanks to our team for their show in the tournament for being such great young men and to their coaches for their good support of the players. Small news column this week but hope you all have a good week and stay safe. Please call or email your news to me. Thanks VS

Wills, Trusts, and More Can I Do My Own Estate Plan?
sands of years. However, is there less likelihood of having serious problems if someone with more training and experience is involved in the process? Again, I believe most would agree that the answer is yes. Like most undertakings, the more training and experience one has planning an estate the greater likelihood that serious complications can be avoided. In deciding whether to do your own estate planning without professional assistance, I believe the question to be asked is how much time are you willing to devote to understanding the process and how much risk are you comfortable taking regarding the disposition of your estate. In writing this article as a professional involved in estate planning, it is not my desire to “create” work for estate planners. Improper estate planning resulting in complications generates much more work and legal fees than proper estate planning and a subsequent, smooth estate administration. It may be that estate planning can be compared to

In this article I would like to talk a little about doing your own estate planning. When people ask me if they can do their own estate planning, my simple answer is “yes.” There are many wills probated that were prepared by the decedent without professional assistance. Many of these wills are submitted to the court and the estate is administered without problem. Additionally, there are many trusts prepared without professional assistance. Although the degree of error is often higher with the use of a trust, these can also be prepared and administered without professional assistance and without problems. However, there is also a large portion of these documents (both wills and trusts prepared without professional assistance) that do have problems. Often, when there are problems, the problems are significant. I like to compare estate planning to having a baby. Can someone deliver a baby without a trained and experienced professional? The answer is yes. It was done that way for hundreds and thou-

We had made some changes in our lives. My husband had lost 50 pounds and after eight years of being a housewife, I had taken a job in a restaurant. When I returned home after my first day at work, I gave my husband a big hug. He seemed to cling to me longer than usual. "Did you really miss me that much today, dear?" I asked. "No," came the reply. "But you smell so much like pancakes that I hate to let you go."
Private Bath
My husband and I found a charming bed-and-breakfast nestled in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Though enchanted, I nonetheless had some questions about the accommodations. "Does the room have its own bath?" I asked. Nodding, the proprietor answered, "If no one else shows up, it does."
Dirt Road
The paving of a main dirt road had finally been completed. Only days later an elderly man pulled out of a side street into the path of an oncoming truck traveling on the newly paved road. No one was hurt, but the vehicles were damaged beyond repair. A witness to the accident asked the elderly man why he had pulled out in front of the truck. "Didn't you see it coming?" "I slowed down and looked both ways," he explained, "but I didn't see any dust."
Unusual Name
Since I was a new patient, I had to fill out an information form for the doctor's files. The nurse reading it over noticed my unusual name. "How do you pronounce it?" she asked. "Na-le-Y-ko," I said, proud of my Ukrainian heritage. "That sounds real nice," she said, smiling. "Yes, it is melodious," I agreed. "So," she asked sweetly, "what part of Melodia is your family from?"
Rose Chiropractic
A woman of our acquaintanceI was headed to the dentist's early one morning, but when I pulled up to a parking meter, I realized I didn't have any change. As I got out of my car, I saw a parking officer heading my way. I called out to him that I was going to get some change for the meter and asked him not to give me a ticket. He said that if the meter wasn't set by the time he got to it, I would get a ticket. Quickly running into a nearby coffee shop, I ordered a coffee. The waitress, seeing the bill in my hand, asked if I had anything smaller. "No", I said, "I'm sorry, I don't." "It's your lucky day, then" she said, handing me the coffee. "We don't have any change, so your coffee is on the house!"

For Your Health How to Fight High Cholesterol It is now common knowledge that there is a firm link between high cholesterol and heart disease. It is hard to know if you have high cholesterol, since it seldom causes any symptoms.
Answers for this week
If you are worried about your risk for heart disease and wish to explore the possibility of high cholesterol, there are some actions you can take.
Ask Your Physician for a Blood Test
The first step is to ask your physician for a blood test to determine your blood cholesterol. The exam is known as a lipoprotein profile, and its purpose is to measure four markers: 1) total cholesterol, which should be below 200 mg/dl; 2) LDL or “bad” cholesterol, which should be less than 100 mg/dL; 3) HDL or “good” cholesterol), which should be 40 mg/dL or above; and 4) triglycerides, which should be less than 150 mg/dL. If your values are out of the normal range, your physician can create a treatment plan for you Begin a Healthy Diet One of the primary risk factors for high cholesterol is a poor diet that results in obesity. Eating healthier foods has been proven to lower cholesterol. It is critical to avoid saturated fats, trans fats, and dietary cholesterol. Saturated fats are found in the following foods (which should be minimized as much as possible or avoided completely): high-fat cheese, high-fat meat cuts, whole milk, cream, butter, ice cream, palm oil, and coconut oil. To minimize trans fats, avoid fatty meat and dairy products (as above), and also hydrogenated oils. Dietary cholesterol is found in meat, poultry, egg yolks, and whole milk. The best advice for all of these issues is to switch to a low-fat diet and ingest only fat-free dairy products. Eating foods high in fiber can lower cholesterol as well.. Healthy Lifestyle Tips There are several other lifestyle tips to keep cholesterol down and increase your chances of living a long, healthy life. Avoiding alcohol is important, as this can also keep triglycerides down. If you smoke, it is critical that you quit immediately. Smoking is damaging to your blood vessels, speeding the process of hardening of the arteries. If you stop smoking, you lower your risk of heart disease and stroke. A sedentary lifestyle is a major risk factor for high cholesterol. To combat this problem, begin an exercise program. Start slowly, with advice from your physician. In addition, if you also have diabetes or high blood pressure, follow your physician’s advice to control these conditions. Common Cholesterol-Lowering Medications You cannot self-treat high cholesterol by taking nonprescription products, no matter what the advertisements promise. In fact, no herbal supplement or vitamin is safe or effective for this use. However, there are several medications that your physician can prescribe. The most common is the group known as the statins. They include atorvastatin (Lipitor), lovastatin (Mevacor), pravastatin (Pravachol), rosuvastatin (Crestor), and simvastatin (Zocor). Statins block one of the chemicals your body needs to make cholesterol. These drugs are generally safe, and your pharmacist or physician can explain the risks of their use.

Sunday Coffee
Fence Lines
by Ray Conrad
On a Sunday morning I grab my coffee cup. Sleep still seeping from my eyes, I fondly fill it up. Freshly ground and roasted beans! Now, I can't speak for you, But Sunday morning coffee seems a righteous thing to do. Breakfast will come later. Most likely I'll adore it. For the non it's coffee time, and I am happy for it. Some claim coffee's icky. Logically, that don't follow. Something bad can't taste so good As that first Sunday morning swallow.

by Troy Wilde, Utah News Connection SALT LAKE CITY Utah ranks 27th in the U.S. in the most recent National Solar Jobs Census. Andrea Luecke, executive director with The Solar Foundation, which produces the annual report, says 2014 was a year of growth for Utah's solar sector. "It went from having 910 solar jobs, to about 1,500 solar jobs and it moved from 30th place up to 27th place," Luecke says. "So, good things happening in Utah." Luecke says the cost of residential solar products has dropped by two-thirds in recent years, which is driving demand and job growth. She also points to the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan as the type of
policy that will likely grow the solar sector. The Clean Power Plan calls on states to reduce carbon emissions from power plants by 30 percent by 2030, compared with 2005 levels. Luecke says Utah and other states dealing with the ongoing drought, may also use more solar in coming years, because it uses less water. "Coal uses a lot of water, and solar PV uses very, very little water," she says. "In those states as well, water is a big issue especially as populations increase." Nationwide, she says the solar industry now employs more than 173,000 workers, with the top sectors being installation, sales and distribution, and manufacturing.
