Exhibit Highlights Historic Utah Artists BOULDER - The Boulder Arts Council presents, Early Utah Masterpieces, a Utah Arts Council’s Traveling Exhibition highlighting a selection of important and historically significant works in the Utah State Fine Art Collection. Composed of 26 giclee prints of the valuable works, the travelling collection allows communities throughout the state view and learn about Utah’s artistic history. Early Utah Masterpieces will be exhibited at the Boulder Community Center from March 5 through May 1. Early Utah Masterpieces celebrates the extraordinary and rich history of the visual arts in Utah. At the first meeting of the Art Institute in 1899, money was appropriated to purchase its first painting, Black Rock, 1898, by J.T. Harwood. It is an impressive landscape of familiar sight in the Great Salt Lake. Beginning with that significant first purchase, the State Fine Art Collection has grown annually through purchases and donations.

The pieces displayed in this exhibit are giclee (a French word that means a spray of liquid) reproductions of the original oil paintings. Giclee prints are generated from highresolution digital scans and printed onto canvas using professional color ink-jet printers. The giclee process provides better color accuracy than other means of reproduction and can be adjusted to any size. Early Utah Masterpieces will be exhibited at Boulder Community Gallery at 351 N. 100 E. in Boulder. Please check the Boulder Arts Council Website at boulderartscouncil.com on the community calendar for times and days in which the library is open. Early Utah Masterpieces :“Alice Art Collection,” was created through American Masterpieces program. American Masterpieces: Three Centuries of Artistic Genius is a special initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts, and presents Americans with the best of their artistic and

cultural legacy, reaching large and small communities in all fifty states. Project supported was provided by the Utah Arts Council, the Utah State Legislature, the Western States Arts Federation, and the National Endowment for the Arts. The Utah Arts Council’s Traveling Exhibition Program is a statewide outreach program that provides schools, museums, libraries, and community galleries with the opportunity to bring curated exhibitions to their community. For more information on participating in the program, please contact Laura Durham, TEP Coordinator, at 801.533.3582. Members of the media, please call Lydia Durand, Communications Manager, at 801.236.7548. This program is supported in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts Washington D.C. and program funds from the Utah Arts Council. —Boulder Heritage Foundation

a Tribal Elder traveled to the park and spent the day enjoying a Ranger guided snowshoe hike and model rocket building. Everyone enjoyed their first time on snowshoes as well as the mountain lion winter survival activity conducted by Park Ranger Kevin Poe. During lunch, Tribal Elder Vala Parashont spoke about her memories of her grandparents and traveling around southern Utah with them. She also talked with the youth about respect for the land and Southern Paiute cultural traditions. Due to a mid-afternoon snow storm, the students were unable to launch their rockets but didn’t let that dampen their enthusiasm. “I had a blast on Saturday. I was very impressed with our kids who were very well behaved and listened to instruction. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to attend,” said Julie Smith, Education Specialist with the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah and one of the chaperones. Many thanks go to Dorena Martineau, Cultural Specialist for the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah, the Bryce Canyon Natural History Association, park staff and volunteers who worked so hard on this event. This project was made possible by a grant from the National Park Foundation through the generous support of DISNEY. —Bryce Canyon N.P.

The Old Spanish Trail on the Fishlake Listed on National Register

FISHLAKE N.F. - The Old Spanish Trail (1829-1848) has been called the “longest, crookedest, toughest pack trail in North America”. It was a trading trail that meandered from Santa Fe, NM to southern California. Each fall a pack train of up to 200 mules would leave New Mexico for California crossing the arid country of Utah and the Mojave Desert when temperatures were still tolerable. The pack trains carried mostly woolen goods woven in New Mexico by Mexican and Navajo weavers from the wool of the Churro sheep. The Churro had been brought to the New World by Spanish settlers in the 17th Century. In exchange for woolen goods, Spanish and Mexican Californians traded horses and mules whose numbers were so excessive, that they were sometimes killed by vaqueros trying to preserve the ranges for cattle. Spanish mules were large, strong and in demand in the States. Arriving in New Mexico in the fall, they were driven up the Santa Fe Trail by the thousands to the Midwest where, even now, the famous Missouri mule has liters

of Spanish blood in its veins. Mules were twice the cost of horses because of their ability to carry heavy loads, their need for far less forage and water, and their extremely tough hooves which were suited for the rocky terrain of the trail. The trail had more exciting and darker chapters than just trade for wool and livestock. Fur trappers, in and out of Utah, had periodic scrapes with the natives. Behind the Johnson Reservoir Dam, an “express” going to New Mexico discovered the remains of 7 people with arrows sticking in the trees and musket balls lying on the ground. And sadly, the trade was not limited to blankets and stock. Many excursions over the Old Spanish Trail were intended to capture slaves from the Native American tribes of the Great Basin. Of the 1,200 miles comprising the trail, Utah has 450 of them. Of that number, 35 miles are found on the Fishlake National Forest. The Old Spanish Trail dips from I-70 into Red Creek south of Castle Valley. The trail crosses the head of a large hollow and

then heads west over Emigrant Pass towards the Sevier River Valley. At the southernmost point of the dip, the Fish Lake Cut-off forks from the main trail and heads south to Fish Lake, Grass Valley, Kingston Canyon and then rejoins the Old Spanish Trail at Junction. Some sections of these trail corridors still have traces and swales marking the passage of Manuel Metas (1805), Jedediah Smith (1826), William Wolkskill and George Yount (1831), Kit Carson (1848) and Captain John Gunnison (1853). Overall, the “trail” which is up to a quarter mile wide saw the passage of 30,000 horses and mules. If you are out in the Red Creek country, signs have been placed to remind people to stay on designated roads and trails in order to preserve these fragile vestiges of the history of the American West. On February 14, 2013, the Fishlake National Forest sections of the Old Spanish Trail and the Fish Lake Cutoff were listed on the National Register of Historic Places. —Fishlake N.F.

Spring Equinox at Petroglyph Site: Mountain Holds the Sinking Sun PAROWAN - Each year many solar and lunar events are commemorated and observed as rocks and shadows line up at the Parowan Gap. As spring draws near, the Spring Equinox will be observed with interpreted guided tour of the ancient petroglyph site. An interpretive tour of Parowan Gap followed by watching the sun set from the Equinox Carins will be held at the Parowan Gap, Saturday, March 23rd beginning at 6:00 P.M. The evening event will start with a guided interpretive walk through the narrow Gap opening, which will include how the Gap was formed and interpretation of several solar and lunar calendar petroglyphs. At 7 P.M. the group will walk fourtenths of a mile along the paved road to the trail to the Equinox Carins (a rock pile monument). From there the group will hike two-tenths of mile up to the Equinox Carins and watch the sun from a different angle.

“Again, the sun sets down the middle of the Gap, but at a different angle than the Summer Solstice, as the Gap opening is slightly smaller, said Nancy Dalton, interpretive guide and secretary for the Parowan Heritage Foundation which hosts the event. Bonnie Char Hallman, Public Relations Specialist for the Cedar City ~ Brian Head Tourism Bureau notes, “As you watch the sun go down at the ‘Gap’, the mountain ranges in the distance seem to hold the sinking sun gently and then tuck it nicely to sleep. To watch the process take place with a guide to help understand nature of this remarkable place is truly astounding. We are fortunate to have Nancy share her passion and education about this area.” “Even though it’s a few days after the official Spring Equinox, people can still watch the sun set down the center of the Gap opening,” said Dalton. Those attending the event

Congrats to PHS Debate Team Dear editors, This past weekend, my speech and debate team at the Oakley School competed in the 1-A state championship tournament at Bingham High School against a strong group of young people from Panguitch. As the coach of the second-place team, I would like to commend Panguitch’s excellent young speakers, its dedicated coach Ryan Houston, and all of the people in Garfield County for producing such terrific young thinkers and speakers. Speech and debate is an activity that develops essential skills in our future leaders. In his class, Ryan teaches not only content, but confidence, articulation, critical thinking and analysis. Studies show that participation in speech and debate provides stronger preparation for success in college than almost any other high-school activity, Students often spend more time preparing cases in such events as Public Forum and Lincoln Douglas debate than they do writing research papers in school, and the skills they develop in these areas necessarily helps them in all other subject areas. Finally, such events as Congressional Debate will help model political and civic participation, and give students confidence to prepare for a future that will desperately need their leadership. Due to budgetary constraints, we in northern Utah do not see enough of Ryan Houston and his stellar group of debaters, but the smiles on their faces as they accepted their first place trophy reminds us all of why we love the activity of Speech and Debate so much. We look forward to many years of future contests and many years of helping young people reach their potential through the support of this academically-oriented competition. Congratulations again, Craig Jacobs, The Second Place Coach Oakley School, Oakley, Utah

National Symposium on Child Abuse: New Research, More Teamwork

SALT LAKE CITY - Professionals in child abuse investigation and treatment are meeting this week in Huntsville, Ala., including some from Utah. At the National Symposium on Child Abuse, they will get the latest research on topics such as trauma-focused therapy, sex trafficking and online exploitation. Many youngsters are now seen at Children’s Advocacy Centers (CACs), where they are interviewed by specially trained investigators and receive medical treatment and counseling. Chris Newlin, executive director of the National Children’s Advocacy Center, the conference sponsor, said it is less stressful for kids and families to receive these services if they are provided in a single place. “Child abuse - especially child sexual abuse - is not just a criminal justice issue, not just a Child Protective Services issue,” he said. “It’s that plus a mental health issue, a medical issue - and only by having these professionals work together will we be able to be effective in our response.” Newlin said professionals are seeing a troubling trend: an increase in child neglect across the country. Fourteen Children’s Advocacy Centers in Utah coordinated about 6,000 cases last year, most of them involving sexual abuse. There are 850 CACs nationwide. They also provide child abuse prevention training to more than 500,000 people a year. According to Newlin, the child-friendly setting and team strategy has paid off for county and state budgets, as well as for individual families. “Using the CAC approach, we have better outcomes, and we save more than $1,000 per case,” he noted. “Just by using this model that’s more effective, we saved our nation a combined $270 million.”

ADVERTISE IN THE

To the Editor: Here in Henrieville from December 2012 to today more than 10 dogs have been poisoned in their own yards or disappeared. Dogs sometimes do escape while following their instincts to mate or just to play. Many of us respect these natural instincts and make some small allowance for dogs not knowing how to read the law. We understand others do not share this knowledge and wantonly kill animals out of other motives, some good, and some bad. We respect a rancher’s right to protect a flock or livestock, yet to end a family pet’s life simply because you see it on the street is, far from right as a good neighbor. We are admonished in history to be honorable. If our animal hurts you or yours make it right. Of course each situation is different. Will a Pompeian kill sheep no so why would someone kill it just because it got out? Would not it be better to help thy neighbor fix the fence? Join us in supporting The Sheriffs Office in their investigation of these poisonings and shootings in Henrieville. Please notify Mayor Dave Roberts at the Henrieville Town Offices at 435-679-8581 with any information. Sincerely, Concerned Citizens of Henrieville

Dixie Regional to Host Heart Health Education Seminar on March 27

Dr. Alberto Brizolara, an invasive cardiologist, presented at Dixie Regional’s 2012 heart health seminar. ST. GEORGE - While working at Target, Robert Shepherd began to feel fatigued and unexpectedly lost consciousness. A young coworker immediately called 9-1-1 and began CPR. The physicians were able to bring Shepherd back after he had gone 27 minutes without a heartbeat. Now, six months since his heart attack, Shepherd is doing well. “I feel very fortunate,” he said. Dixie Regional Medical Center will host a heart health seminar on Mar. 27 from 10 a.m. until noon in the SelectHealth Auditorium

at 1424 E. Foremaster Drive (across the street south of the hospital’s River Road campus). The seminar is for patients like Shepherd to learn how to maintain heart health after recovering from an incident and for those who have never had heart problems. “Our hope is to educate people while they are healthy,” said Kendra Smith, cardiovascular program specialist at Dixie. “If we can teach people how to prevent problems, we save not only lives, but improve quality of life as well.” Dr. Michael Khoury will speak on vascular health at

the seminar. Dr. Alec Eror will speak about valve surgery, and Travis Brinkerhoff, a nurse practitioner, will speak on heart disease prevention. There is no charge to attend. Space is limited, however, so to reserve a seat please call (435) 251-2222 by March 25. “The best part about the forum is it gives attendees an opportunity to ask the cardiologists any question,” said Smith. “It’s the perfect atmosphere where individuals can get questions and concerns addressed.” —Dixie Regional Medical Center

Doing More With Less

PG-13 Running time: 1 hr. 55 min.

As the District is working to prepare the new budget for fiscal year 2014, I think it is important for us to be accountable to the tax payers and report where those tax revenues are spent. In the 2011 tax year, there were 27 school districts in the State of Utah that had tax levies higher than Garfield County. There were 14 districts that were lower than Garfield County. In fiscal year 2012, the expenditures per pupil for the fall enrollment was $10,149. What this means is that the District spent $10,149 on each student in the District in one year. This is an average across the District that includes transportation, food service, teachers, and all expenses. Only 10 districts in the State of Utah spent more money per student with 30 districts spending less. Because of financial restraints in 2011, the District had to reduce personnel and incorporate staffing changes to balance the budget. As a result of these changes, Garfield School District has experienced a 7.10% decrease in per pupil spending from school year 2011 to 2012. With the 7.10% decrease, Garfield School District had the largest decrease in expenditures in one year in the State of Utah. The next closest district to experience such a large financial cut was Logan School District with a cut of 6.15%. Logan School District has also been experiencing financial difficulty. What this means to the tax payers is that we are doing more with less money. The District has brought staffing ratios and program expenditures in line with the revenue resources available from the tax payer. —Superintendent Ben Dalton

Daniels Fund Announces Boundless Opportunity Scholarships for Non-traditional students in Utah DENVER - Non-traditional students in Utah at risk of not being able to afford a college education will benefit from $76,000 in Boundless Opportunity Scholarships announced today by the Daniels Fund. Colleges and universities in Utah receiving Boundless Opportunity Scholarship awards include: Salt Lake Community College, Southern Utah University, and the University of Utah. Funding is awarded in two-year cycles, so Boundless Opportunity Scholarships are also available at colleges and universities that received awards last year. A complete list of schools offering the scholarship can be found on the Daniels Fund website, www.DanielsFund.org. “Students who dream

of bettering their lives with a college education are often least able to afford one,” explained Linda Childears, president and CEO of the Daniels Fund. “Boundless Opportunity Scholarships are intended to give a boost to non-traditional students seeking the economic and social benefits of a college education.” The Boundless Opportunity Scholarship is available at select two- and four-year colleges and universities in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming and is intended for highly-motivated students seeking the next level of achievement in their lives, regardless of their life path. Candidates for the scholarship must demonstrate financial need, and each college or university may focus on particular populations from a list

of categories established for the program. The categories include adult learners; GED recipients; foster care youth; juvenile justice youth; returning military; and individuals pursuing EMT/paramedic training. Since 2004, the Daniels Fund has provided more than $1.4 million in Boundless Opportunity Scholarships (formerly known as Daniels Opportunity Scholarships) to more than 354 non-traditional students in Utah. The program received its name through a quote from Bill Daniels, founder of the Daniels Fund and former owner of the ABA Utah Stars, who stated, “America remains the greatest nation on earth, where boundless opportunities still exist for each and every one of us.” —The Daniels Fund

Loa Elementary Snippets by Lisa Stevens

It Was All About Utah, and They Sang Great “On Friday, March 8, our class got to see the 4th grade play. I could tell they worked very hard on their play. It was all about Utah. It was about how Utah was discovered and all the people who discovered it. It was also about the great things that happened in Utah, like the railroad and the Olympics, and other things. We learned a lot about Utah from them. They sang very well, too. The costumes were cool! The fourth grade did a great job! It was fantastic.” Review by Sydney Knudson, 3rd grade.

work hard not to get pulverized by these younger kids. We have an amazing coach, Ryan Houston, who inspires every debater that passes through his door to, not only excel in speech and debate, but also in life in general. He truly cares about his debaters and where they end up. The debate team would like to thank the community for all their support and the school board for not cutting the class, which would have crippled our team. Thank you!

God First

New Boat

By Cynthia Kimball One night I met with a friend who works in the construction trades. He’s extremely good at what he does and he’s in demand as an employee at the international company he’s worked at for almost 20 years. He usually works six days a week and is gone from home at least 12 hours a day. “Are you happy?” I asked him. “Yes” he said quietly. “Do you believe in God?” “Yes.” “Do you believe He has a plan for you?” “Yes.” “Do you ever talk to Him?” “Yes.” “You should come to church with me.” And that’s when I found out why he was a little apprehensive with my questioning. “I’m just afraid it will get in the way of my life style.” “What lifestyle?” Hesitating, and seeming embarrassed, he said, “Well, sometimes I like to drink a little beer and wine.” “You should come anyway.”

And to my surprise, that’s actually what he did even though he told me beforehand, “I’m not sure I can always go due to my work schedule.” Are you like my friend who is afraid that church and God will get in the way of your lifestyle? Oaks (2001) said, “Our priorities determine what we seek in life.” Similarly, Gandhi said, “Action expresses priorities” (BrainyQuote, 2013). For example, one person I know spent his own money and took a trip to Uganda to help build an orphanage there. Another friend plans to fly to Germany to pick out a BMW, drive it for 2 weeks while vacationing there and then have it delivered to him in the United States. He also plans to travel throughout Israel and Turkey. His entire trip, minus the cost of the BMW, will likely cost $7,000. One’s priority is serving mankind. The other is serving himself. “When we put God first, all other things fall into their proper place or drop out of our lives. Our love of the Lord

will govern the claims for our affection, the demands on our time, the interests we pursue, and the order of our priorities,” (Benson, 1988). Yet, until we do, life will get in the way. I pray my construction friend will not continue to let life get in the way of God instead of the other way around. And when he does, I also pray that he will heed the counsel found in Matthew 6:24, “No man can observe two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and emammon” (LDS.org, 2013). Otherwise, it could destroy him. What’s getting in the way of God being first in your life?

Buckling Up Best for Moms-To-Be SALT LAKE CITY - Expectant mothers worry that having a seat belt buckled could damage their unborn child in a crash, but a new study finds that not wearing a seat belt actually increases a woman’s chances of losing a pregnancy from those if she is restrained. The best way to protect an unborn child is to protect the mom-to-be, said Brandi Thompson, a spokeswoman for Safe Kids USA, although she noted that there are right and wrong ways to put on a seat belt when pregnant. “Actually, the lap portion of the belt needs to be placed securely underneath the baby,

underneath the belly,” she said. “So, crossing on that pregnant woman’s hard hip bones, the seat belt actually should not be interfering with the baby.” The study found that overly cautious first-time mothers are more likely to drive unrestrained, and women with other children are typically prompted to put on their own seat belt by being in the habit of putting their other children in child safety seats. Mothers-to-be worry that impact with an air bag could cause injury to an unborn child, Thompson said, but the research indicates that fear also is unfounded. It would help, she said, to keep as much

space as possible between mom and the air bag. “Move that driver’s seat or front passenger seat, whichever, back away from where that air bag is going to deploy,” she said, “trying to keep a 10-inch distance between the center of their chest and the steering wheel or dashboard.” Duke University Medical Center did the research, looking at more than 120 car crashes that involved pregnant women. The study, published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, is online at ajog.org. —Chris Thomas, Utah News Connection

Who Are You?

I recently moved from a large city to a small town. I went to retrieve some boxes that I had sent to myself in care of the local bus depot. And that first time I walked into the bus depot, I found out what small towns were like. “Your boxes are over there,” the clerk said. “How do you know who I am?” I asked. “We all know who you are,” he replied.

Medical Student

Due to his hectic schedule, I had seen little of the medical student who had moved next door to me two years earlier. I learned that he had graduated, and one day when I spotted him in his driveway, I went over and congratulated him. “Well,” I said, “Now if I break my arm, you’ll be able to fix it.” He replied, “I’ve been able to fix your arm for some time. The important thing is that now I can bill for it.”

Las Vegas

A young couple honeymooning in Las Vegas had been doing very badly in the casinos. The groom told the bride, “I have a hunch that I can turn our luck around if I go down to the casino alone.” Once in the casino, he put a dollar into each of two slot machines. He hit the jackpot on both of them and walked away with $10,000. He then played blackjack for a couple of hours until he had $50,000 in chips. Next, he played poker and upped his winnings to $100,000. He was about to cash in his chips when he got a hunch that his luck hadn’t run out. So he took all his money and placed it on Black at the roulette table, hoping to double his money. The ball landed on Double Zero. He returned to his room. His bride asked, “How did you do?” The groom shrugged and said, “I lost two dollars.”

Plaster Man

As a foreman for a construction company, my friend John was interviewing an applicant. He asked the plasterer to bring his tools in so he could see what he could do. The fellow returned with tools slung over his shoulder and hanging from his pockets, and in one hand he was holding an unidentifiable object covered in plaster. John asked what it was. “My radio,” the chap answered. “All right,” said John, “you can start tomorrow.” The applicant looked surprised. “That’s it? You don’t want to see what I can do?” “Any plaster man who has a radio looking like that one,” John said, “must have put in at least three years of work.”

Wills, Trusts, and More Estate Planning for Life by Jeffery J. McKenna

In doing estate planning, it is essential to plan not only for death -- but for life. Lifetime planning involves preparing for the care and management of assets in the event you become incapacitated. There are two main objectives of lifetime planning. First, it is important to plan for the effective administration of your estate upon incapacity. Second, it is important to preserve the estate if your incapacity requires professional long-term care. Effective administration of your estate during incapacity. In planning for the administration of your estate during incapacity, it is critical that certain documents be executed. All individuals engaging in estate planning should strongly consider executing a durable power of attorney. A durable power of attorney will enable someone else to manage your assets should you become unable to manage your own assets for any reason. If the power of attorney is not “durable” (which means it specifically states that it will be effective in the event of your incapacity), it will not be effective if you become incapacitated. Significantly, many powers of attorney are not durable powers of attorney. Preservation of your Estate During Incapacity. In addition to concerns related to how your estate will be administered during your incapacity, you must also consider ex-

penses related to an extended period of incapacity. In a previous article, I explained that Medicare and private insurance do not cover long-term care (care for the basic functions of life such as eating, dressing, bathing) for extended periods. Medicaid is the government program that covers extended long-term care. Because Medicaid is a welfare program for the poor, an individual will only qualify after income and assets have been depleted. In doing lifetime planning to preserve your estate during incapacity, it is usually not advisable to deplete your

estate in order to qualify for Medicaid. A more effective approach for planning for incapacity would be the purchase of long-term care insurance. Long-term care insurance greatly eases the burden of paying for long-term care. In working with families that have long-term care insurance within their estate, I have found a much greater degree of comfort and security. The children are relieved and grateful that their parents have considered and provided the means to assist with the burden of long-term care. Often, the long-term care insurance is used to provide assistance that enables a parent to stay in the home of a child. Jeffery J. McKenna is a local attorney serving clients in Utah, Arizona and Nevada. He is a shareholder at the law firm of Barney, McKenna, Olmstead and Pack with offices in St. George and Mesquite.

Busy in the yard one afternoon, my father paused to admire our neighbor’s new boat. “She sure is a beauty, Charlie,” Dad said. Knowing that Charlie’s wife was conservative when it came to spending money, my father asked, “Was it expensive?” “The boat itself wasn’t so bad,” Charlie replied. “But the extras really hurt.” “You mean things like water skis, life jackets and trailer?” my father asked. “No,” our neighbor said with a sigh. “I mean the new carpet, the kitchen cabinets and the living-room furniture.”

The Luck “O” the Irish flourishes in Torrey Town and there was enough Corn Beef and Cabbage being slowly cooked all over Torrey that you could walk down any street in town and get your fill at just about any house you stopped at. It did not take a whole lot of encouragement for me to be drawn into Boyd Blacks house by Heidi, nor did I dare refuse the overflowing plate of Corn Beef with all the makings she dished up faster than a little green leprechaun. After we all finished our Irish holiday meal and gently pushed our plates to the middle of the table, Boyd asked for his customary cup of coffee and then began to serve up a big dish of Billy Hays stories, the legendary Irishman from Hanksville. Aside from Barbra Ekker I don’t know anybody else that can tell a better Billy Hays story than Boyd Black. I can’t and don’t claim to know all there is about Billy Hays the Hanksville Irishman, but what I do know is that sooner or later the Irishman Billy Hays stories will come up in just about any conversation you may have with anyone in Wayne County over the age of 70. Billy Hays’ most famous request was to be buried in a Mormon Cemetery because in his own words “That’s the last place the Devil would come looking for an Irishman”. Another last request from Billy Hays was that he be buried in a new pair of socks, and that is just what the good folks of Hanksville did. The story as I have heard it is that when Billy Hays died the folks of Hanksville dispatched a rider to the Town of Green River and he/ she came back with the most colorful pair of socks they could find. As Boyd vividly told it, while he slowly sipped at his steaming cup of coffee, Billy Hays considered the Colorado River his personal bank and would spend just enough time down on the sand bars of

thus far by the organizers of Tour of Utah. Under the direct supervision of Steve Miller, Medalist Sports, the Torrey Town Mayor, Dr. Scott Anderson local cyclist extraordinaire of Bicknell, as well as cyclist Stuart Tally, Manager at the Red River Lodge. Wayne County can expect to provide a spectacular international stage for cyclists from around the globe and put Wayne County cycling on the world - wide map through live and International TV coverage. In the March 14th meeting of the Torrey Town Council Nay Sayers and some seminervous Torrey Town Council Board members vocally expressed their concerned about the obligation of Torrey Town and Wayne Countys commitment to bring the much International publicized “Tour of Utah” to Wayne County. In a stern and red-faced statement by the Torrey Town Mayor it was adamantly stated that he would personally and financially ensure that the Tour of Utah’s cycling event success coming to Wayne County and Torrey Town will be his personal commitment in his final months of public office. As an excellent suggestion by the Torrey Town Treasurer Colleen Duddleston, Torrey Town is now soliciting individual hotel room sponsorship ($75 each) to meet Torrey Towns requirement of providing 105 rooms for the Tour of Utah event. Please contact Torrey Town at 425-3600 if you are willing to be a participant in this monumental and historical Wayne County and Torrey Town event, your patronage is needed and very much appreciated. Other volunteer event options should be directed to Torrey Town Council person Janet Hansen. In other local news George Coombs of Teadsale, the closely and intimately related sister city of Torrey Town (or vice-versa) reports that field gophers are on the immediate decline at his place by 80 this past week due to constant and consistent monitorization and systematic eradication which will ultimately result in a significant rise in crop production. Statistics show that thanks to advanced technology, one farmer can currently feed 129 people. Hug your local farmers and ranchers.

sea Stewart and Mike Savage provided the entertainment. Kelly Anderson, Kevin Barnhurst, and Claudia Crump took charge of the dessert with Linda Olsen providing the double dipped chocolate cookies and Little “L’s” Bakery stepping up with cupcakes to die for! The “ I Love Panguitch” tshirts were from the Shed (call Pat at 676-2418 if you are interested in the purchase of one, call within the next two weeks). The Mayors provided us with information about their tenure in office. The whole theme behind the party was that if our early settlers did not have strong, ambitious and visionary people who came after them, we would all be living in the old fort. It was the mayors down through the years that provided the incentives for growth. Thanks to them, Panguitch is still here, even better and we love it here! When the sirens start to sound and the horns began to blow, in Panguitch you know something important in the lives of our youth has taken place.

by Marlene Haws ~ 826-4859 • marleneh@color-country.net I am writing this early because I will be out of town on the weekend. I am going to Salina to watch my granddaughter, Devyn Sorensen, compete in the “Miss North Sevier” Pageant. This should give you time to send me a lot of news for next week. The Junior Class at the Escalante High School is looking forward to providing a musical night of fun on April 12, 2013. It will be a concert/ dance combination with Mike Griffin’s band, “Most Wanted.” They will be setting up tables and chairs so families and couples can come and dance, visit and enjoy the music. Everyone is invited. Work has begun again on the Little League baseball field at the high school. There is never enough help, so it would probably be greatly appreciated if any of you who can spare a few hours wanted to volunteer. Monetary donations are being accepted too. The road just West of the cemetery leads North to the field. It is a beautiful spot and

our kids are really going to enjoy it once it is completed. Mark Griffin had surgery last Wednesday. He is recovering and did well during the procedure. Tina says his real journey begins now in the healing process. They are still praying for the time when they can take him back home to St. George. Right now he has to heal and be able to breathe on his own and get his lungs clear. So they ask that you keep him in your prayers too and they thank you for all you do. Businesses, who have been closed all winter are beginning to open up or are preparing to. Cowboy Blues is open now from 5 to 9 P. M., except on Mondays. Cottams will be reopening Canyon Country Gas and Goodies soon. A new business or two will be opening before the summer is over. Twenty six seventh and eighth graders went to Salt Lake recently and visited the Zoo. No special report from them but I’ll bet that was an

exciting trip. Janis Gledhill had a five bypass surgery on her heart last week. The last report on her today is that she is doing okay. Get well soon, Janis! Grena McInelly Searle has been here from St. George cleaning up around her mom’s house and yards. She had a garden here last summer so maybe that is the plan for this summer. Rick and Helen Pruitt, Richfield, visited in town with Helen’s mom, Florence Alvey. Drew, Mary and John

Parkin are home from their Mediterranean Cruise. They were joined by other family members and said it was a wonderful experience. The weather was good and they covered a lot of territory. Now they have to get back to work as they are remodeling their house. Have you called Megan Carlisle yet to see what you can do to help with the Easter Egg Hunt? Remember it is on Saturday, March 30, 2013. Call me. I’ll be back by the time you read this.

Chance and Jessica Stewart went with Lance and Sara Syrett and baby Raymee to watch the Jazz game last night. Cary and Teresa Deccio and Holly and Jared Lemke and new baby along with Kami and her kids, Taylyr, Dakota, Sadie, and Ashton Stevens and Shaine Anderson were all there also enjoying the game. What a game it was. Kristopher Nez became a Deacon. Carl and Kay Shakespear are the new Webelos Den Leaders and Dan and Amy Fagergren were released with a vote of thanks. Sam Cloud had his farewell today and he is going to Brazil on his mission. he enters the MTC on the 20th of March. Hazer Manning became a Deacon in Cannonville. Delane Griffin and his son, Quinn Griffin spoke in Church. Hunter Mathews was the youth speaker. The new church is coming along and now has the shingles on the roof and it is looking great. Planning for the new church to be finished in July. Glenna Fletcher had her family come to celebrate her birthday at the town park with her on Saturday. It was a lot of fun with everyone enjoying the nice day. Coming up for the Scouts in our area are the Pow Wow Merit badge meetings at 5:00 P.M. in Cannonville. The Scouting food drive is on March 23rd. Congratulations to Alexis Tebbs on her mission call to Mississippi Jackson Mission. She enters the MTC on June 19th. Alexis is the daughter of David and Cherrie Tebbs of Bryce Canyon City. Everyone had her convinced she was going to Temple Square to be a Missionary in SLC. We are glad that Doug Ahlstrom is home and doing well after spending 9 days in the Panguitch and Utah Valley Hospitals. He is recovering so he can go on the 27th to have his new knee put in. He was happy and so was Vicki to have son Kortney and his wife Christie and children her for a few days visit. Since Mike and Lesa and family live here the only one missing was Julie who stayed in St. George to baby sit a nephew so his parents could come visit. I am really late on this one but I want Karen Ott and all her family to know we have them in our hearts and prayers over Doyle’s passing. He has had a long struggle and is now with his sweetheart again, Thelma who went on before

and is in Heaven. We send our condolences to Joe Hughes on the passing of his baby sister, Ida Jane Tait of Fredonia, Arizona. Joe is now the only living sibling left in his family of 14 kids. They grew up on the Sanforn Ranch outside of Panguitch. His daughter Catherine Littlefield, Wally and Lynette Orton all attended the funeral in Fredonia.

The boys who played from our BVHS team were Braxton Syrett, Hunter Mecham and Logan LeFevre. They lost their game by a few points but in the three point shot contest Braxton shot in 9 out of 10 shots. One observer said he just did it one right after another like it was easy and we know it is not. Whtini Syrett was chosen MVP for the state girls team. Congratulations to all our players who played in the 1A - 2A games. Whitni is the daughter of Brady and Shawnee Syrett. Brittney is the daughter of Shane and Judy Frost. Braxton is the son of Bryce and Cherish Syrett. Logan is the son of Layne and April LeFevre and Hunter is the son of McClain and Merrilee Mecham. Great job to all involved.

Practical Money Matters

Weathering the Storms of Life: Snow Offers Real-Life Metaphor for Date Night

Maximize Your Disabled Child’s Government Aid Parents of special needs children have enough on their plates just tending to the health, educational and emotional needs of their kids – not to mention often having to cope with drastically lowered income because of reduced work hours or having to pay someone else for childcare. So it’s not surprising that many of these parents haven’t had time to hatch a long-term financial plan in case their kids need care after they’re not around. Fortunately, many government programs and community resources are available to help relieve the financial burden of parenting special needs children. But eligibility criteria are complicated and the application process time-consuming. Plus, if you’re not careful, you or well-meaning relatives could inadvertently disqualify your kids for future benefits by not structuring their inheritances correctly. Here’s a brief overview of key government assistance programs: The Social Security Administration provides two types of disability coverage: Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Income (SSDI). Rules and eligibility requirements differ between the two programs – and benefits differ for children and adults. In a nutshell, SSI is a needs-based, cash-assistance

by Jason Alderman program for disabled people of any age in low-income families with limited resources. Children qualify for SSI benefits if they meet certain strict criteria outlined in SSA Publication 05-11000 (www.ssa.gov/ pubs/11000.html). SSDI is a separate program funded by payroll deductions (part of FICA). Although children sometimes receive SSDI payments if their parents are disabled, their eligibility is based on their parents’ disability status, not on their own. However, after turning 22, already disabled children may qualify for SSDI on their own if at least one parent qualifies for Social Security benefits. Eligibility rules and definitions for SSI and SSDI are complex. To see if your child qualifies, call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213, or search the Disability and SSI tabs at www.ssa.gov. One particularly helpful resource is “Benefits for Children with Disabilities,” SSA Publication No. 05-10026. Many families inadvertently jeopardize their disabled child’s eligibility for government-provided benefits by opening accounts in the child’s name or designating them as beneficiaries. Unfortunately, federal law dictates that recipients of SSI, Medicaid and many state assistance programs will be disqualified if they have resources worth over $2,000. So, if Uncle Jerry leaves your

LOA - Couples from all over Wayne County braved the recent snow storm to gather together at Toscanos for the Monthly Wayne County Date Night. After enjoying delicious pizza, salad and smoothies they spent a few minutes listening to a moving presentation on surviving the storms of life. The timing of the snow storm couldn’t have been better to illustrate that the storms of life are inevitable. No amount of money could have forced the storm to move and no one in the room could run fast enough to escape it. The reality is that the storms in life that hit our marriages are much the same. These storms come in the form of a job loss, issues with in-laws, problems with teenagers, mental and physical health problems, the death of a child, etc. But just as our recent snow storm eventually passed so to do the storms in life. While storms are known to destroy many things, your marriage shouldn’t be one of them.

daughter $10,000 in his will, she could lose her benefits. One good alternative is to create a special needs trust, whose assets can be used by its trustee to manage the finances and personal effects of a disabled person. Trusts are governed by state laws and should only be drafted by an attorney familiar with this area of law. Some parents name the trust as beneficiary of life insurance policies to ensure a source of funding if they die before their child. (Stay current on your premiums.) Other possible funding sources include cash, stocks and other investments, retirement plan death benefits, home sale proceeds and inheritances from other relatives and friends. Just make sure that the trust –not the child – is named beneficiary. Preparing a special needs trust can be expensive – possibly several thousand dollars, depending on your situation. But weigh that against the prospect of your child losing out on a lifetime of governmentprovided benefits because of an accidental inheritance – speaking of which, be sure to let any well-meaning relatives or friends know about the trust.

To protect your marriage from these storms there are a number of things you can do. 1. Strengthen your marital foundation before the storm hits. If you have take the time to build a strong foundation then you will be able to withstand the storms of life that will inevitably come. 2. Learn from the penguins of Antarctica and get closer to your spouse during the storm rather than trying to brave it on your own. 3. If your spouse gets cranky and wants some space then give it. However don’t take it personally and don’t give them so much space that when the storm is over your boats are so far apart that it seems hopeless you will ever be able to connect again. 4. Don’t self medicate with things that dull the emotional and physical pain but then create even bigger storms and more pain. Examples include drugs, alcohol, shopping, overeating, pornography, etc. 5. Do self medicate with
