Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area Assists 30 Projects in the Past Year SALT LAKE CITY - The Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area is making significant strides.

During the recently completed annual reporting period, the MPNHA granted $235,000 for 30 projects, including the restoration of the Casino Star Theatre in Gunnison ($25,000); the first phase of restoration of a Civilian Conservation Corps and World War II POW camp in Salina ($25,000); rehabilitation work on Miss Mary’s Historic School in Salina ($10,000); and restoration of Pierce Hall at Wasatch Academy ($15,000).

During the year, the MPNHA worked with partners from both the public and private sectors including the Utah Division of State History, the Casino Star Theatre Foundation, the Miss Mary’s Museum Committee, Salina City and Wasatch Academy supporters.

Along with these projects, the MPNHA published “Legends, Lore and True Tales in Mormon Country,” a collection of stories about the lives

and experiences of people who settled Sanpete C o u n t y.

The volume has b e e n placed in libraries and book stores both in the heritage area and along the Wasatch Front.

Work continued on MPNHA’s “Discovery Road” TV series with release of new episodes titled, “Wales and Outlaw Ways” and “Snow College Story.”

In 2016, the MPNHA will help fund restoration of the historic Mt. Pleasant City Hall and Armory ($5,000) along with providing continued funds ($10,000) for the restoration of the historic administration building on the Wasatch Academy campus.

It will also provide funding for architectural work for the third phase of the Es-

calante Hole-in-the-Rock Heritage Center ($5,000), for phase four of the Mt. Pleasant Equestrian Center ($5,000) and to help develop a biking trail at the Jacob Hamblin Park in Kanab ($5,000).

Additionally, work is already in progress on an episode of “Discovery Road” to celebrate the National Park Service’s 100th anniversary.

Are Healthcare and Education “Rights”?

With renewed political rhetoric characterizing healthcare and college education as “rights”, it’s important to examine the implications of this idea. At a fundamental level, agreement or disagreement with this concept involves a choice between human liberty and self-ownership, or ownership by others or by the state. This choice is inescapable because healthcare and education services are provided through the labor of others.

If there is liberty, self-determination and self-ownership, those who provide services are free to choose what, when, how, where and to whom their services are provided. Service is provided on the condition that there is consensual agreement to the terms of service by both the provider and the recipient.

In contrast, by claiming the services of others as a “right”, the claimant presumes prior ownership of the labor of those who provide such services, and by extension, ownership of those persons themselves. The claimant presumes that the consent of the service provider is unnecessary, that a right exists to force the provider to perform the service, which, to put it bluntly, is presuming a right to enslave others. Government facilitates and partially conceals this coercion by putting a third party between service providers and recipients, paying providers on behalf of recipients with the forcibly confiscated product of the labor of anonymous third persons, which it claims to own. As government policy, this is socialism—state ownership of the means of production—at its most brutal level. Ownership of human labor is ownership of the basic means of production, and so this issue of rights to services provided through the labor of others comes down to the essential question of whether the state or others own us, our labor and the product of our labor, or whether we own ourselves.

So-called free services provided by or through government are a myth and a political deception. These services come with a price, and the price of the “right” to healthcare and education services is acceptance of and participation in tyranny. Our nation already has traveled far down that road as politicians insist it’s the path to solving the problems they themselves created. The politicians’ bait of “free“ stuff, with promises of more to come, has lured many onto the gravy train, creating in the process massive debts, both economic and moral, which history demonstrates must be repaid at the end of the ride. Prudence requires looking carefully at what that repayment will entail when the road and the ride inevitably come to an end.

Wayne Mein, Grover

All-in for Bernie

People wonder if Bernie supporters will support Hillary if Bernie doesn't win the nomination. For myself, I have to say thus: "Until the very last delegate vote has been cast at the Democratic Convention this summer, I will relentlessly support ONLY the most moral, trustworthy, progressive, and most-likely-to-win democrat in this race. As of this moment, that person is Bernie Sanders (see the polls). If by some chance this amazing grassroots campaign for TRUTH and FOR THE PEOPLE, upon whose backs this nation is built, FAILS to break through the HUGE barriers set up by the big-money political establishment (controlled by the Financial Industry, the War machine, Big Oil, Wall Street, The Kochs, and the political families they have bought off--e.g Bushes & Clintons), ONLY THEN will I settle for the inferior candidate who has parroted all of Bernie's hard-fought causes & well-worn ideals in a language so carefully-crafted as to allow for the hedging of bets after the dust has settled."

Wayne Community Health Center After-hours Changes

by Jeff CHappell, M.d., MediCal direCtor wayne CoMMunity HealtH Center & kazan MeMorial CliniC We’re finding it increasingly difficult to have the available staff for full 24 hour coverage 7 days a week and also adequate resources to pay for this service. To help with funding, we have increased the after-hours call in fee to $50 for established patients and $250 for new patients. This must be paid at the time of service and is in addition to any copays and medications that must also be paid at time of service. We recognize this may be a hardship, but we also want to emphasize the after-hours service is meant for medical emergencies that cannot wait until the clinic is open.

To help with staffing, we have employed an after-hours nurse call in service that will be fielding telephone calls when the clinic is closed. While there will still be a medical provider on call for the clinic, the nursing service will direct the caller toward appropriate care. They may contact the provider on call, but they may also direct you to call the clinic for an appointment during regular office hours, travel quickly to the ER, or call 911 for an ambulance! While we do train and prepare for medical emergencies, we lack the staffing, x-ray capabilities and laboratory services found in a true emergency department. As such, many medical conditions such as abdominal pain, chest pain, dehydration, joint dislocations, serious broken bones, head injuries, trauma, and other serious medical illnesses are better treated at a hospital.

We as a clinic are committed to providing the best possible care for our patients. We are committed to providing exceptional primary care. Recognizing our remote location, we will also do the best we can to provide appropriate emergency care services.

We thank you for your confidence and support.

The

Sunshine Week — when people who care about government advocate to make it more transparent — has arrived at a moment in 2016 when Utah's congressional delegation can help make the federal government provide citizens more information about its work.

The House has passed a bill that will improve the Freedom of Information Act. The Senate is pondering its own bill. It's the weaker of the pair, but would still give citizens better access to federal records than what they currently enjoy.

The Utah Headliners Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists asks Utah's congressional delegation to seize this opportunity and improve the federal government's records law.

You should encourage delegation to pass one of the bills, too. Here's why.

First, the Freedom of Information Act, known as "FOIA," is the law which requires the federal government to disclose certain records. If you've never filed an FOIA request, you probably side with someone who has. One of the most active requesters is the conservative organization Judicial Watch. Environmental groups request records, too. Academics use FOIA to write a better draft of history.

Journalists in Utah have used the law, too. We’ve obtained reports from federal land agencies, documents about fraud against the government and how bikini models got to photograph a calendar on a Utah National Guard base.

There are some limits that protect individual privacy, safety and security. Often, federal agencies exceed those limits and redact documents or deny requests altogether rather than fulfill the spirit of the law, if not its letter.

In one example, the U.S. Marshals Service has refused to provide journalists a single sheet of paper about, or a snippet of video from, the April 21, 2014, shooting that killed defendant Siale Angilau. That's despite how the marshal shot Angilau in an open courtroom during a public trial and Angilau's family and supporters have raised questions about what happened.

Both the House and Senate bills would limit redactions or denials to when an agency "reasonably foresees" that the records would cause "harm" to an interest such as privacy, safety or security. The current law gives the agencies more discretion to withhold records, which leads to secrecy when it isn't warranted.

The House version also mandates that the federal government pay the attorney fees of anyone who successfully sues the federal government over an FOIA denial. Utah has a similar requirement under the state's record laws, and it has provided an incentive for local government to comply with the law early and removed a barrier for requesters seeking redress.

Neither bill should have an impact on records the average American wouldn't want public, like war plans, passwords and individual medical information. But if made law, these reforms would make it more difficult for federal agencies to withhold records like they have in the Angilau shooting.

The House of Representatives passed its bill at the urging of House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, RUtah, and the ranking Democrat on the committee. Utah Rep. Rob Bishop was a co-sponsor. The Senate version has sponsors from both parties, too.

Conditions appear optimal for reform, and for Utah's congressional delegation. They can lead both parties in both chambers in spreading more sunshine on the federal government.

The Society of Professional Journalists is dedicated to the perpetuation of a free press as the cornerstone of our nation and our liberty. The Utah Headliners Chapter represents journalists across the state. Learn more at www.spj.org.

Help Glen Canyon Look its Birthday Best in 2016 and Beyond PAGE, AZ – The National Park Service invites you to help Keep Glen Canyon Clean and looking its birthday best for the National Park Service Centennial in 2016. A community and partner collaboration to improve resource conditions at Lake Powell will be underway throughout 2016.

Breathtaking scenery and spectacular recreation are what Lake Powell is all about.

However, park neighbors, including local photographer and author Gary Ladd, have noted that the Lake Powell experience is all too often marred by litter, human waste, graffiti, fireworks, serious injury and even death. Enough is enough! With 1 ¼ million acres and 2 ½ million annual visitors, park rangers at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area are asking for your help.

Please mark your calendar for the first annual Love Your Lake Community Cleanup on Friday, March 18, 2016.

Participants will meet at the Wahweap picnic area starting at 9 a.m. Those on foot will be assigned to beaches, and those with boats can access locations throughout the lake. All participants will receive free park admission and launch for the day and a free pass to return and enjoy the park on another day. The event will feature a raffle at 1:30 p.m. with prizes donated by local businesses including Colorado River Discovery, Pepper’s Restaurant, RD’s Drive-In, and Boston’s True Value, with the grand prize being a framed photograph of Lake Powell by Gary Ladd.

Snacks will be provided by the Glen Canyon Natural History Association. Please wear closed-toed shoes, and come

prepared to get dirty and have fun! Volunteer signup for children and youth groups participating with chaperones other than a parent should be prearranged by calling 928-6086356, as parental signature is required.

The Know Before You Go public outreach campaign focusing on unsafe and illegal activities is launching for the 2016 boating season. Information will be shared with boaters at all Lake Powell marinas.

The new Powell Watch asks visitors to keep a watchful eye on park resources.

Tips from the public are key to detecting and prosecuting damage to the park’s vast and often remote resources. If you see something, say something!

If you happen to be in a remote area with poor cell phone reception for phone calls, a new messaging service will allow you to text non-emergency tips to park dispatch at 928-6140820. Calling 9-1-1 or hailing via VHF radio are other emergency communication options on Lake Powell. Pick up your Powell Watch wristband with contact numbers at the Love Your Lake Community Cleanup or at launch ramps throughout the year.

Local tour and service providers have signed up to Adopt a Canyon on Lake Powell, including: McNabb Fishing Guide Service, Hidden

Canyon Kayak, Lake Powell Paddleboards, Four Corners Adventures, National Outdoor Leadership School, the Wildland Trekking Company, Aspiro, Far Out Expedition, and Zion Adventure Company. As canyon stewards, these companies will remove trash from their canyons throughout 2016.

After a two-year hiatus, the True GRIT (Graffiti Removal and Intervention Team) will be back in action. Teams of volunteers will be on the lake removing unsightly graffiti from canyon walls. True GRIT is a partnership with the Glen Canyon Natural History Association.

The Trash Tracker program will be back for a 27th season in 2016. Teams of volunteers will be on the lake picking up trash and educating visitors. The Trash Tracker program is a partnership with Lake Powell Resorts and Marinas.

A Canyon Hosts program slated for later in the summer will expand the National Park Service presence on the lake.

Volunteers on houseboats throughout the lake will fly a National Park Service flag, and provide information and assistance, similar to campground hosts.

“Happy Centennial and thanks for doing your part to keep Glen Canyon looking its birthday best,” said Acting Glen Canyon National Recreation Area Superintendent Billy Shott. “I hope to see you out at the Love Your Lake Community Cleanup Day, and please help us keep an eye on park resources by participating in Powell Watch.”

For Your Health Self-Care Options for Insomnia Insomnia is a type of sleep disorder that affects up to 20% of adults. Non prescription sleep aids are available that can help treat insomnia, but these products should not be used on a long term basis

People with insomnia have trouble falling or staying asleep and may wake up earlier than desired. They do not feel rested no matter how much they slept, and they sometimes feel tired, groggy, anxious, or irritable throughout the day. This lack of sleep can also increase the risk of other health problems, such as high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, depression, heart attack, and stroke.

Sleep Hygiene

The best way to improve insomnia is to practice good “sleep hygiene,” which describes habits and practices that lead to sleeping well on a regular basis. Many people can greatly improve the quality of their sleep just by using sleep hygiene techniques. Some examples of these techniques include: Following a regular sleep schedule Avoiding afternoon naps and the use of electronics prior to bed Avoiding coffee after 12 pm and heavy meals close to bedtime Not smoking Exercising at least 5 hours before bedtime Keeping a peaceful sleeping environment

OTC Treatments

Nonprescription sleep aids are often used to help manage symptoms of insomnia. The active ingredient in these products is an antihistamine, such as diphenhydramine or doxylamine. Antihistamines can help the symptoms of insomnia by promoting sedation and decreasing the time to sleep onset. They can be helpful if taken approximately 30 minutes before desired bedtime.

However, continued use of these medications is strongly discouraged. They carry many side effects and have not been shown safe or effective when used long term. They also should not be used in patients who are aged >65 years or have glaucoma, difficulty urinating, prostate enlargement, or thyroid disorders.

Lastly, since insomnia may be a symptom of another medical condition, it is important to speak with your doctor or pharmacist before trying one of these products.

Have your cake and eat it too!

SCC's super-fast Internet speeds and FREE Amazon Prime Membership take the cake.

Dietary and Herbal Supplements

Dietary and herbal supplements, such as melatonin and valerian, are sometimes used to help manage insomnia. However, they are not regulated by the FDA and have not been widely studied for safety or efficacy. Melatonin is a natural hormone produced in the body that plays a role in the sleep-wake cycle. It may be useful for people with altered sleep schedules or jet lag.

Melatonin has been shown to reduce time to sleep, increase overall sleep time, and improve sleep quality. Valerian is an herbal product that has been used for over 2,000 years for the treatment of nervous unrest, stress, and sleep disorders. With continued use over at least 2 weeks, valerian may promote better sleep. It is generally safe, but has been shown to cause stomach upset and headache. Valerian can be taken as a tablet or drunk as a tea. Before taking these products, ask your doctor if they are right for you.

2016 Utah Legislative Session During the 2016 Utah legislative session, 465 bills were passed by our legislators. If you would like to view the bills, you can access them at http:// le.utah.gov/asp/passedbills/ passedbills.asp. During the session, there were approximately 124 bills relating to education and of those 66 passed into law.

A few of the highlights include a 3% increase in the Weighted Pupil Unit (WPU) for all public schools in the state. This equates to approximately $78 million. Also for those districts that are experiencing student growth, an additional $94 million is allocated to the new stu-

dent enrollments.

A few key bills to be aware of include SB78S3, which outlines the election process for State School Board members which allows for nonpartisan primary elections for the 2016 election year and then changing to partisan elections for the 2018 election year. Essentially, this bill requires potential State School Board candidates to identify a political party or collect 2,000 signatures to be considered for the ballot. For the 2016 State School Board elections all candidates shall be placed on the primary ballot and narrowed down to two can-

didates for the general election.

The second bill to be aware of is SB38S4, which creates a levy on your county tax notices for charter school funding. The changes to the tax payers are expected to be revenue neutral to the school districts and charter schools. These changes to the local tax notices will begin in FY18. You might think Garfield County School District does not have charter schools within its geographical area; however, this belief is not correct. If a student lives in GCSD but does not attend a school in our district and enrolls in online charter school, the charter school receives local tax payers funding. Also, if the parents of student claim their primary residence in Garfield County and send their student to attend a charter school outside of the district, the charter school receives local tax payer funding.

Last year GCSD paid approximately $10,000 from local tax collections to charter school as required by state law. Changes from SB38S4 will reduce the board local levy for GCSD by approximately $10,000 and add a charter school levy of approximately $10,000 to the tax notices to show a more transparent representation to the tax payers.

All Star Games Close Out Basketball Season; Track is up Next!

The Lions Club in Monroe had their annual basketball all star game last Saturday. Panguitch was well represented with Taylor Bennett, Chesney Campbell and Whittni Orton playing on the 1A girl’s team. Dason Houston was on the boys team. The girl’s game was exciting going down to the wire with the 2A girls winning in the last second 71 to 70. These are fun games for the girls and the

LaMont and Karen Ellett Awarded the Utah High School Activities Association Super Fan Award

LOA - LaMont and Karen Ellett, surrounded by family members, were awarded the Utah High School Activities Association Super Fan Award at the 1A boys state basketball game at the Sevier Valley Center on March 4, 2016.

LaMont and Karen began as fans for Wayne High School where they both participated in sports and are graduates of Wayne High School. They have 5 children and 22 grandchildren that have participated in high school sports including baseball, wrestling, track, golf, cross country, volleyball, football, basketball and cheerleading.

When their son Gordon entered high school in 1975 they watched him in wrestling where they have attended every wrestling match including region and state for 40 years.

They spent their 50th wedding anniversary at the region wrestles!!!

Their sons Gordon, Scott and Kent all wrestled for Wayne High School and were state champions along with 9 grandsons that have also wrestled. Gordon is the present wrestling coach at Wayne High School. Karen made a purple and gold pillow for every

PHS girls all were high scorers for the 1A team and Chesney finished with 19 points.

In the boys game Dason started and played really well, as did the first team. However Layton Christian is now a 2A school and brought a couple of players that were really something. When we left half way through the 4th quarter one of the Layton players had 32 points with 6 -3 pointers.

These are always fun games and we try to take them in, because there are always Panguitch players there.

It is March madness month and Utah has two team

in the championship; Utah and Weber State, good luck to both. I love basketball and wish it could be played year around.

Track is up next and both of our teams should be heavily favored this year. There won’t be a meet here again this year, we do not have a timer that is required for these meets. The timer cost $5,000 and to use them only one time a year is pretty costly.

Makayla Dalton who is a member on the track team will be doing the coverage of the meets. She has done this before and is really good at it.

CALL FOR PICTURES! Wayne School District is seeking grant money through the NRCS to help with flood control and mitigation on and around the track/football field complex. We need to provide pictures of flooding in this area to help support our efforts.

Please, if you might possibly have pictures of flooding in and around Bicknell, and especially in and around the WHS track, please consider sharing them with the School District.

We are particularly interested in the flooding incident of September 2014. Your help would be greatly appreciated!

LaMont and Karen Ellett, surrounded by family members, were awarded the Utah High School Activities Association Super Fan Award. wrestler, coach and bus driver to take to the state wrestles last year.

With 3 sons and 11 grandsons playing baseball for Wayne High School they have spent many years on the baseball field. Their son Scott is the baseball coach for Wayne High School. For over 10 years Karen made a lunch for all the players and coaches to eat between the varsity and junior varsity games. The players all call her “Granny” and love her homemade Oreo cookies. She still supplies the barbequed sandwiches for the concession

stand at each home game.

Karen made each cheerleader a purple and gold pillow to take on bus trips this year. They have attended all the home football games this year where they have a great grandson that plays and a grandson that coaches. They hold a season pass to all Wayne High events where they support all programs. They are also very supportive and attend all musicals, drama and extra-curricula events.

They commented, “High school activities prepares students for a successful future.

They learn discipline, hard work, working with others, getting up and trying again, how to set goals and how to be a leader.” They also stated, “What is important to our children and grandchildren is important to us and sports are an important part of their lives.

We want to do what we can to help and support them. We have enjoyed the journey!”

LaMont and Karen have supported all Wayne High School sports for many years and we hope to see them cheering for many years to come.

Wills, Trusts, and More

What is a Personal Representative?

by Jeffery J. MCkenna A personal representative is the person named in a Will to handle the Will-writer's property after death. It is the name of the person often referred to as an Executor or Administrator. 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 represen-

tative will usually hire an attorney to assist with the legal documents needed for the estate 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.

Bird

Watching

Birdwatching is a passion of mine, and my wife has always been impressed by my ability to identify each species solely by its song.

To help her learn a little bit about birds, I bought a novelty kitchen clock that sounds a different bird call for each hour.

We were relaxing in our yard when a cardinal started singing.

"What's that?!" I challenged.

She listened closely. "It's three o'clock."

Computers

Experts agree that the best type of computer for your individual needs is the one that comes on the market about two days after you actually purchase some other computer.

Today's Thought

In America, anyone can be president. That's one of the risks you take.

Snacks

After my husband asked me to help him shed some unwanted pounds, I stopped serving fattening TV snacks and substituted crisp celery.

While he was unenthusiastically munching on a stalk one night, a commercial caught his attention. As he watched longingly, a woman spread gooey chocolate frosting over a freshly baked cake.

When it was over, my husband turned to me. "Did you ever notice," he asked, "that they never advertise celery on TV?"

Nurse: That seems easy enough.

Patient: I determine which animals are too vicious to be petted.

Irritating Employee

Dave irritated everyone in our office. Whether it was the tone of his voice or his condescending attitude, we all steered clear.

He must have suspected he was annoying because he asked a co-worker, "Why does everybody take an instant dislike to me?"

The co-worker responded, "It saves time."

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com I was kinda caught by surprise with the day light savings this weekend. However I should know by now, that when I start waking up an hour early, that day is coming shortly. Being a slow starter I do love these longer daylight hours in the evening, I get a lot more done. I learned a trick a few years ago that works for me, when I get up on Saturday morning I turn all of the clocks forward and when evening comes we go to bed at the 11 o’clock that is shown on our clock. I do wish that we would stay on day light saving time all year around. It would save on utility bills, children hit by cars at 5 o’clock because It’s dark out. Also it would cut down on the depression caused by the long dark nights and the suicide rate would go down.

I had the privilege of taking some of the students up to Layton for the FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) competition. It was a combination group of B.V. and PHS students. There were about 1,500 students competing at this event and most of our students felt real well about their performances.

This event is like most things in life, it is how much effort you put in determines your success.

Because there are so many competitors it will be a while before the results are known.

Kaylynn Nielson and Shawn Caine are the coaches for these two teams and work hard with the students and create the opportunity for them to succeed in this competition.

Then on Thursday and Friday it was up to Piute for the Forensics (Debate) Regional competition. Ryan Houston really had his students ready for this competition and they took their 21st straight region championship. The Bob Cats took 6 of the 7 categories and swept four of them. They are headed next week to the State Championship and as bright as these kids are, look for another State Championship.

Debate is such a great learning tool, but it takes dedicated teachers like Mr. Houston to keep them going. At Regions the competition was down to only 3 teams: Piute, Bryce Valley and Panguitch and this in a region with 9 schools. All of these competitions: Debate, FBLA, FCCLA and Drama, are tools at the top of the list for helping the students to go out in the real world. The Panguitch

Audery Ellen Smith Clements 1925-2016

March 17, 2016

GLENDALE, OH - Our mother, Audery Ellen Smith Clements, 90, of Glendale, OH died peacefully on March 6, 2016 following a long, adventuresome life.

Audery was born in Duchesne, UT on June 2, 1925 to Orrin Draper Smith and Sarah Jeannie (Stott) Smith, the youngest of three children. By age three, her mother passed away and her father deserted the family. Audery and her siblings were raised by her grandparents, Lester Alger and Ellen Stewart Stott. Her childhood was spent in Duchesne and Pleasant Grove, UT. In 1943, she moved to Tacoma, WA where she worked in the shipyards as a welder, supporting the World War II effort. While there, she met and married Randy Seaton. They were later divorced. Two children (Randy and Deana) were born to this union. In 1946, Audery moved back to Utah where, in 1947, she met and married the love of her life, Kenneth Culmer Clements.

Audery and Ken had one daughter (Murna). Ken adopted Audery’s other children and loved and cared for them.

For 25 years, Ken worked for the Utah Highway Patrol. Audery and Ken lived in several places, including, American Fork, Delta, Panguitch, and Nephi, UT due to.

Together they built four beautiful homes. Upon retirement, they moved to Kanab, UT. When they sold their last home, they purchased an AirStream trailer and became snowbirds, spending many winters in the Arizona desert near Quartzite where they rode four-wheelers and enjoyed new friends and life on the road. In 2000, they settled in Alamogordo, NM, close to their son. In 2012, in declining health, Audery and Ken moved to Westminster, CO close to their daughter. In August 2012, Audery and Ken celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. In October 2012, Ken passed away. When Audrey’s daughter moved to Ohio in 2015, Audery moved to Ohio too.

Audery was a wonderful homemaker, great cook, and beautiful seamstress. She was a member of the Avon President’s Club. She loved to travel anywhere with Ken, especially the desert and on their dream trips to Europe and Alaska. Audery always called herself “Ken’s co-pilot.” She began wood carving in 1994 making intricate spoons and wood reliefs. She loved to play games, especially Skip-bo and bingo and always enjoyed good food. She was proud of her husband and her family.

Audery was preceded in death by her husband Ken, (2012) and her daughter, Deana (2004) and her two siblings, Brent Smith and Margie Galea. Surviving Audery are her son, Randy (Bonnie) Clements, LaVerkin, UT; daughter, Murna Clements (David) Besel, Liberty Twp, OH; 10 grandchildren, 35 great grandchildren, and 8 great-great grandchildren.

No memorial service will be held at this time. Her cremated remains will be taken to Denver, Colorado in the spring to be laid to rest with her husband at Ft. Logan National Cemetery.

Students are so blessed to have teachers like Tammy Bennett, Shawn Caine, Elaine Baldwin, Cheryl Church and Ryan Houston who offer the students the chance to do anything that their imagination will let them.

I have lived a long time and I can’t ever remember where I had to know what A+B = C was.

But oh would I give anything to have the ability to express my self like these students do in front of a group of my peers.

So when you see a teacher, tell them how much you appreciate their efforts. These teachers do get a stipend for their work and it works out to about 50 cents an hour.

For all of you Irish men out there happy St. Patrick’s Day. It is today the 17th, SLC had a parade last Saturday. In the East, especially the Boston area their parades will be today.

Don’t forget to wear green so you won’t get punched.

Coming up next Sunday at the LDS Stake Center will be the dedication of the Provo Center Temple. I believe there will be 3 sessions, at 9:00 am, 12:00 pm and 3:00 pm. This is a unique Temple, it suffered a traumatic fire that was so hot that nothing in there was savable, even the hinges were melted; only the walls remained. They jacked up the walls, 20 feet and built a basement parking lot underneath. The workmanship on the inside is perfect, from the painted fresco on the walls to the magnificent wood work; the detail is so fine from the floors to the ceiling. There are many stained glass windows, which reflect sunlight into the rooms.

Those of you that made the trip up to Provo to view the Temple understand what a great piece of art it is.

Put this on your calendar, next Wednesday the 23rd will be the Easter Egg Hunt.

It will take place at the City Park at 1:00 pm. This is the students' spring break and by having it on Wednesday it lets the families go places for four days. Each year this event gets bigger and this year won’t be an exception, much candy, money and tons of Easter Bunnies. Even if you don’t have any kids this is a really fun event, so bring your camera and record this mad scramble.

Remember it starts promptly at 1:00, ever year there are those that show up 5 minutes late and everything is gone.

Also on the 23rd, I do believe will be the first day of

spring, we have been enjoying spring like weather for the last 6 weeks and we won’t see much of a change.

Today we will be flying to Seattle Washington to meet up with our Granddaughter Teah. She will be graduating from Medical School in May and they have an event called “match” that determines where she will spend her next three years in Residency. Teah spent a month exploring medical facilities all over the west, from Chicago to San Diego.

She interviewed at each facility, 15 in all. She listed them in order of where she would like to go and the match company checks the facilities to see where they have her listed and a match is made. This is kinda like when your child gets their mission call. This is going to be a fast run; we leave on Thursday and will be back on Saturday. Teah will be flying with us to Las Vegas,and then flying on to Mexico the next day, after a week's visit to her Mexican family (she spent 6 months with them learning the language and culture and taught English as a second language—it was a great win win situation. The family has become great friends). She is then off to Peru, for her last stop on her rotations. The hospital where she is going in Peru, delivers over 300 babies a month. She really likes that.

The Legislature has adjourned and did nothing as usual on the Medicaid expansion.

They do have a Utah plan, it will cover maybe 16,000 souls that fall in a special category, homeless, those that are leaving prison, and those with serious mental health problems or have substance abuse problems. The legislature, who gets full paid health insurance, is passing up more than 500 million Federal assisted dollars,

that would expand Obamacare to 130,000 uninsured Utahans.

That is a half billion dollars that would flow into Utah, with real health care expansion.

With the additional health care dollars it would go to the Doctors and hospitals, their employees, then to all the people they do business improving the states economy over and over again, benefiting all that live here; even increasing the state tax income. The legislature's excuse is that they don’t want to increase the Country's national debt anymore, however those many states that are using Obama care with much success will be happy to share Utah’s returned dollars. So it is back to putting out donation bottles when a tragedy befalls us.

However the legislature did give 53 million to California to build a deep water port near Oakland. This port will be used to ship our coal to China where they don’t have all the restrictions that the USA has. Because coal is a dying fuel there isn’t much of a market for it in our country. This money instead of going to California could have been used much more effective in retraining our out of work coal miners, in my opinion.

I believe there is a bill on the governor’s desk that will do away with the death penalty. The legislature says that the death penalty is too costly to use. Since there hasn’t been any execution in the last 5 or so years that is probably true.

A judge has decided to throw out the “My Vote Counts” agreement and no one knows what is going to happen. More that 20 people running for office state wide have met the signatures signing for their office. If you want to sign up for a non partisan office, you only have until tomorrow to file.

Stargazing Tips

by Linton Rohr

The Beehive Star Cluster

Hard to believe it, but Utah has its very own star cluster. Generally referred to as M-44, the lovely group of gravitationally bound stars reside in the relatively dim constellation Cancer. Cancer doesn’t exactly jump out at you, so I always remember to look about halfway between Leo and the Gemini twins. (If you need a little help navigating the constellations, refer to skymaps.com.)

The ancient Greeks and Romans saw it as a manger, giving it the Latin name Praesepe.

But somewhere along the line, it picked up its more popular nickname, the Beehive cluster. I can’t really claim to see a manger or a beehive shape there… a swarm of bees, perhaps! But I’ve always fondly called it “The Beehive”, even before adopting the Beehive State as our home.

But M-44 refers to it being 44th on the list compiled by 18th century French astronomer Charles Messier. Messier was a comet hunter and - out of frustration with repeatedly striking out on the same objects - compiled a list of deep space objects to NOT look at.

Even without any optical aid, one can spot it as a faint glow, against the otherwise dark sky. Of course, that’s BoB franke after you’ve allowed your eyes enough time to adjust to the darkness. Our pupils take 5 to 10 minutes to dilate, which allows us see much better in the dark. That’s assuming you don’t have a streetlight or overly lit business shining in your eyes.

Once you know where to look, a pair of good binoculars will allow you to see a couple dozen of the brightest stars in the cluster. A modest telescope might reveal a hundred or two. Low power eyepieces are preferred though, to fit it all into the field of view. The cluster spans a degree and a half of the sky, which about three full-moon widths. It’s one of the first star clusters I viewed through my first telescope and - though it may not be the most impressive - remains one of my favorites to this day.

The beautiful Beehive is “only” 600 light-years away, which is not far at all in galactic terms. It’s comprised of about 1,000 stars and spans a width of about 15 light-years. The stars are “young” as far as stars go… a mere 600 million years old, as opposed to our own star – Sol – which is 4.6 billion.

The cluster lies along the “ecliptic” which, if you recall, is the imaginary line across the sky that the sun, moon, and planets appear to follow. Consequently, it’s occasionally visited by the planets, and once every month by the moon. This month, for example, Luna will be just below the Beehive on the 18th. And then below Jupiter on the 21st.

Elsewhere in the night sky, Mercury has vacated the pre-dawn sky, and Venus is heading that way soon. Mars and Saturn are still rising after midnight, in Scorpius. Jupiter remains the ‘star’ of the evening sky, and I hope my last column has enhanced your enjoyment of it.

The moon is full on the morning of the 23rd, and will actually be eclipsed in the pre-dawn hours. But it will only be the more subtle “penumbral” part of Earth’s shadow. So I wouldn’t intentionally lose any sleep over it.

For questions or comments: lintonius@scinternet.net CORRECTION: In the Jupiter article the spelling of Jupiter’s moon was incorrectly spelled as Lo. The correct spelling is Io. Apologies from The Insider.

Not much news this week. Seems like basketball took all the other news away for a couple of weeks but we are glad they did so well and we are all proud of our teams, the boys and the girls. Congratulations on a good year.

Tourists are already coming to town. Seems like the motels are beginning to rent out rooms again and we see new faces around town. That means the traffic is going to become heavier on the main street in Tropic, Cannonville, and Henrieville as well as elsewhere. Hope they drive safely and enjoy their stay in our beautiful, scenic area.

If you have any news you would like in the paper just call or email it to me and we will take care of it. The column is yours but I need to hear from you to be able to write it.

Thanks to those who take time to help with that.

Can you believe that 2 1/2 months are gone already.

Time is going too fast and I wish we could slow it down a bit. Seems like everyone is so busy these days and hardly has time to stop and say hello to each other. The world is spinning around us and we are moving with it. Take time to enjoy the things around you, especially your family and friends so they remember the good times.

Please have a safe week.

Send in your news or call.

Thanks VS.

OBITUARIES

Mona Lundgreen Black 1925 - 2016

ANTIMONY - Our beloved mother and grandmother Mona Lundgreen Black, age 90, passed away on March 12, 2016, in Mapleton, Utah. She was born July 24, 1925, in a little log house in Monroe, Utah, to Eli and Manilla Brown Lundgreen, the third of six children. She graduated from South Sevier High School and attended BYU. Mona met her future husband, Burns K Black, at a roller skating rink in Marysvale the summer before her senior year in high school. They were later married in the Manti Temple on January 5, 1944, and made their home in Antimony, Utah, where they raised eight children on the family farm and enjoyed 68 wonderful years together.

If there was one word that would be associated with Mona, that word would be "service." Her life personified service from the moment she awoke each day until the moment she lay down at night. She was grounded in the knowledge that happiness does not come through the accumulation of things but only through family and selfless service. Others needs always came first. While rearing her family, she sewed clothes for all of her children and was an exceptional cook. Mona was an avid gardener, growing beautiful flowers and abundant vegetables. Her children’s birthday and Halloween parties were the hit of the town. In later years she started the Rockin’ R Ranch’s annual Easter Egg Hunt.

Music was an important part of Mona’s life. As a baby, she sang or hummed the music of songs before she could even talk.

In high school, she played cello in the orchestra and sang in a trio that performed in many programs. As she raised her family, she not only sang beautiful alto harmony with Burns’ tenor voice, she taught and encouraged her children to sing and perform in a variety of activities.

Mona worked tirelessly by Burns’ side to build up the Rockin’ R Guest Ranch and ensure its success. For many years she cooked, cleaned rooms, assisted with the day-to-day operations, and helped guests feel at home.

Mona was always an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many callings. She especially loved the 12 years she and Burns served in the St. George Temple. Mona had a strong testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ and willingly shared it with others, including many guests at the Ranch. She lived the gospel with exactness.

Mona is survived by her children: Rod (Carol) Black, Washington, Utah; Greg (Cindy) Black, Provo; Connie (Dan) Finlayson, Payson; Shauna (Val) Christensen, Eagle River, Alaska; Camille (Garr) Ovard, Sandy; Creston (Becki) Black, Antimony; and Lance (Michelle) Black, Mapleton; foster son Roger (Heidi) Clauson, Salina; son-in-law Glen (Margaret) Weeks; 52 grandchildren; 95 great-grandchildren; brothers Hartley and Burns Lundgreen and sister Janet Carlston. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, daughter Dianne Weeks, granddaughter Annika Crump, and sisters Dorothy Mauss and Cleo Nay. Funeral services will be held Saturday, March 19, 2016, at 11:00 a.m. in the Antimony Ward Chapel. Family and friends may call Friday evening from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Magleby Mortuary, 50 S 100 W, Richfield, and at the ward chapel in Antimony on Saturday from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. Burial will be in the Antimony Cemetery.

Everyone Welcome

CANNONVILLE - On March 13, 2016, LaVera Dunham Moss passed away peacefully in her sleep at the age of 84 in Cedar City, Utah. She was reunited with her parents and siblings, her husband Zennel, her sons: Zane, Anthon, Joseph, and Chad, other family and lifelong friends, and her Heavenly Father.

LaVera was born to Joseph Smith Dunham and Alice Henderson Dunham on September 23, 1931. She married Zennel Tracy Moss on July 14, 1952. She is survived by 6 of her 10 children: Lisa Moore, Kay Neathery, Aaron Moss, Tyson Rohdes, Hank Moss, and Janet Moss.

While on earth, LaVera loved experiencing the beauty of nature. She was an avid quilter and knitter, and she appreciated pioneer and Western art and culture. She enjoyed John Wayne movies, Louis L’Amour novels, and the music of Johnny Cash, the Oak Ridge Boys, Hank Williams, and Crystal Gayle.

LaVera was active in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints and her local chapter of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers. She loved to attend the temple and enjoyed singing hymns.

Of all the things she loved in life, family was the most important to LaVera. She was proud to be the mother of 10 children, and she found joy visiting with her 29 grandchildren and 28 greatgrandchildren.

Funeral services will be held on Friday, March 18, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. at the Cannonville Ward Chapel, where friends may call from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Burial will be in the Cannonville Cemetery.

5 Tips for Planning a Property-Sharing Vacation by natHaniel sillin

If you've thought about renting property on vacation, keep in mind that it's become a lot easier – and in some ways, harder.

Much of the vacation rental process has moved online, making the process simpler and more accessible.

Also, the so-called "sharing economy" has allowed more people in the lodging business renting rooms and dwellings. In fact, a 2015 study by consulting firm EY notes that in one year alone, the world's dominant online room-sharing company – less than 10 years old – added more listings to its inventory than the largest global hotel companies added rooms during the same period.

So vacation rentals are easier than ever, right? Possibly, but you still need to protect your money against disappointing choices and possible fraud. Before committing to any kind of property rental or property-sharing vacation, do your homework. Here are five tips to get started: 1. Evaluate your destination fully. The busiest tourist destinations generally have the broadest range of lodging options – from luxury hotels to hostels. Vacation rentals are usually a happy medium, located in desirable neighborhoods with a homey feel and kitchen availability that can make a stay a lot cheaper.

However, every destination has certain ways of handling vacation rentals. While the newer generation of propertysharing companies might be

active here, evaluate traditional options like vacation property brokers and listing services to compare prices and offerings.

Also, search the name and address of the vacation property you're considering with the words "vacation rental scam" to see if any indication of fraud, crime or other trouble turns up.

2. Check local short-term rental laws. While it's generally easier to do this domestically than abroad, make sure the kind of vacation rental you're considering is legal. Check recent news clips or contact a local tourism bureau or chamber of commerce to see whether your target municipality doesn't have legal or zoning restrictions on your chosen rental.

3. Verify the renter personally and with local experts and agencies. If your renter is reputable, he or she should be more than willing to have a detailed conversation about the property, costs, financial arrangements and onsite rules – including deadbolt locks you can control if you are renting rooms within their residence.

Make time to call the local tourism bureau, chamber of commerce, or the local chapter of the Better Business Bureau (http://www.bbb.org) 4. for any details about the renter or the property. Ask the renter for referrals from previous renters, if possible, and consider the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) Scam Watch travel page (https:// www.consumer.ftc.gov/taxonomy/term/877 ) for extensive updated advice on renting out-

of-town property.

5. Ask for all completed agreements and liability insurance documentation before paying. Before you reserve, ask to see all contract information with pricing and scheduling information filled in as well as proof of insurance on the rental property. You should understand all payment and property rules affecting your stay and what might happen if there is accidental damage to the property while you're there.

Share these documents with your home or rental insurer for input before you sign. If a renter hesitates to share this information, you might want to consider other options. Also, review your personal health, property and liability coverage to make sure you're protected during the trip.

6. Weigh all spending risks of the rental transaction.

If you're planning to rent vacation property, take the extra step of calling your credit card and travel insurance companies to determine whether they offer any particular protections in case something goes wrong with the rental. It's a good way to review the full range of protection available to you on any out-of-town trip. And if a vacation landlord asks for advance cash payment – particularly wired money – be very cautious. Many travel scams begin with wired cash.

Bottom line: Planning an upcoming vacation? Before you commit to a vacation rental, vet the owner and the property thoroughly.
