Escalante Medical Center and Pharmacy Moved to New Building ESCALANTE - In November 2013 Wayne Community Health Center was awarded a New Access Point grant in Escalante, Utah. In the past year Kazan Medical Center and Escalante Dental has seen 748 patients with over 2,000 visits offering medical, dental, and pharmacy services to this isolated, underserved area. If you struggle with the cost of medical, dental, and pharmacy care this is the place to come.

The center has a reduced cost for all of these services tied to income guidelines provided by the federal government. High deductible insurance plans, no insurance, high cost medications you can’t afford, we can help.

During the past year Escalante City has worked hard to complete a new medical and pharmacy building to house all of the new services offered.

The new medical facility has x-ray capacity so that community members and visitors no longer have to drive long distances to determine the extent of their injuries and can be taken care of locally. On February 20, 2015 the medical and pharmacy team moved into the new facility from the old medical building. There is a ribbon cutting ceremony on April 8, 2015 at 1.30 PM. Open house from 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM and also again from 5 PM to 6 PM for those folks that have to work. Please come join us!

The old medical facility is now totally dental. We have a new dentist moving into the community this summer and will expand our dental hours and services. We are in the process of remodeling some of the dental office to meet the needs of the practice and hire a part time hygienist. This is an exciting time for Garfield County. We hope to see you at our open house. If you have questions about our services you can call: Medical 435-826-4374 (M-F) Dental 435-826-4333 W-TH (Dental M-T- F 435-425-1118) —Wayne Community Health Center

Partners Receive National Award

LAS CRUCES, NM The Grand Staircase Escalante Partners (Partners) was honored by being presented a “Friends Conservation Leadership Award” at the recent annual Rendezvous held in Las Cruces, New Mexico. On behalf of the Partners Board of Directors and staff; President Mike Putiak, from Boulder, and Executive Director Noel Poe, from Kanab received the award that was presented by the Conservation Lands Foundation (CLF). Included with the plaque was a $5,000 check.

This award is given to the BLM Friends Group that has shown outstanding leadership in the last year to advance the protection of their associated National Conservation Lands unit through visionary, innovative and strategic projects. When announcing the award, CLF Director Betsy Buffington stated that the GSE Partners was selected because they had undertaken projects that have a meaningful impact on the ground. The projects include restoration, constituency building, education and helping to protect nationally significant resources.

Poe stated that the Partners has four major projects and several minor projects.

The largest project of the four is the Restoration of the Escalante River by removing the non-native invasive Russian olive. In 2014 Partners spent $1,410,000 to combat the Russian olive on public lands within the Escalante Watershed. Over $933,000 (66%) were raised from private foundations grants and the Utah Partners for Conservation and Development. This project was recognized by the CLF as the largest restoration project underway on any of the 874 Partners

Love Utah, Give Utah Success

TORREY - The March 26th Love Utah Give Utah campaign was a huge success with over a million dollars donated to various Utah nonprofits. When looking at the largest number of donors for the 229 small nonprofits (those with proceeds under $250,000), Wayne County’s Entrada ranked 14th and ColorCountry Animal, Welfare (CCAW) ranked 18th. This is particularly impressive since both organizations are 100% volunteer run. Over half of these organizations’ donations came from individuals with an 847xx zip. Way to “give where you live” Wayne County!

Entrada Institute president, Carol Gnade said, “Each year the quality of our programming improves and reaches more people thanks to the generosity of local volunteers and donors. We understand as a community that the value of the arts, humanities and natural sciences improves our lives and has both a positive impact on visitors to the area and the local economy."

CCAW’s president, Sarah Tal, attributed her organization’s success to the tremendous love and respect for founder Dottie Weaver who died in February and all the individuals in our community who care about the welfare of our cats and dogs.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to these local organizations.

Governor Herbert Signs Right To Try Bill Into Law

SALT LAKE CITY - On March 24 Governor Gary Herbert signed HB 0094—the Utah Right To Try Act—into law. This makes Utah the tenth state to adopt Right To Try. Right To Try allows terminally ill Americans to try medicines that have passed Phase 1 of the FDA approval process but are not yet on pharmacy shelves.

Right To Try expands access to potentially life-saving treatments years before patients would normally be able to access them.

USDA Seeks Applications to Support Rural Utah Businesses and Create Jobs

More than $28 Million Expected Under New Rural Business Development Grant Program Created Under the 2014 Farm Bill SALT LAKE CITY USDA Rural Development State Director Dave Conine today announced that USDA is seeking applications for grants to support rural businesses and help create jobs.

“This funding is an excellent resource for rural business,” Conine said. “Rural areas need job opportunities to participate in the nation’s economic recovery and grant programs like this help provide targeted access to capital and funding for rural communities to have successful, healthy businesses.

More than $28 million is expected to be available under the Rural Business Development Grant (RBDG) program.

Eligible applicants include

If there is a God, his plan is very similar to someone not having a plan.

—Eddie Izzard

public bodies, government entities, Indian tribes and nonprofit organizations.

Congress established the RBDG program under the 2014 Farm Bill by combining USDA’s Rural Business Enterprise Grant (RBEG) and Rural Business Opportunity Grant (RBOG) programs. The new program, like its predecessors, is designed to assist the startup or expansion of small and emerging private businesses and/or non-profits in rural communities.

RBDG grants can be used to acquire or develop land, buildings, plants and equipment; build or improve access roads, parking areas, utility extensions, and water and waste disposal facilities; provide

technical assistance; establish revolving loan funds; and to support rural distance learning programs that provide educational or job training. There are no substantive programmatic or operational changes to the RBEG and RBOG programs as a result of this consolidation.

Grants made before the implementation of the RBDG program will continue to be governed by the terms of the applicable RBOG and RBEG regulations in effect at the time the grants were made.

For additional information on how to apply, contact your Rural Development state office or see Page 15665 of the March 25 Federal Register.

Information Letter to Wayne County Residents

For those of you who have seen increased disposal fees at the Long Hollow and Hanksville Landfills we would like to explain the increase in disposal fees and the reason why we will no longer accept any used (waste) tires from individuals or business entities.

Over the past years we have accepted waste tires at both Long Hollow and the Hanksville landfills; however, under Utah State Regulations we have been doing so in violation of those regulations and the terms of our Solid Waste Permits for Class II and Class IVb Landfills. We estimate that we have stockpiled approximately 100,000 waste tires at the Long Hollow facility alone which could result in significant fees and penalties to the County and thus an expense to each of us.

State Regulations allow only waste tire recyclers who are licensed with the State of Utah and governed by strict rules and regulations, to accept and stockpile waste tires. There are currently five (5) permitted waste tire recyclers in the State of Utah and only three operate facilities that actually recycle waste tires; the other two are cement plants that use treated waste tires in the production of cement and do not actually treat waste tires.

The three waste tire recyclers in the State of Utah charge between $1.50 to $10.00 per tire to accept used tires depending on the size and condition of the tires; auto tires are at the low end and pick-up, truck and tractor tires are at the high end, large construction equipment tires can be over $25.00 per tire.

Because they can no longer dispose of waste tires at our landfills retail tire businesses in the County are exploring ways to dispose of the used tires they generate from the sale of new tires to consumers. They currently pay a fee to the State of Utah of $1.00 per tire when they sell a tire; that fee goes to the State to operate the department that oversees waste tire recyclers and to help mitigate the cost of disposal of existing legal and illegal disposal sites which includes our landfills. The State will pay no more than 40% of the remediation cost and the owner of the stockpile is required to pay the difference. Our landfills are working our way to the top of the State’s list for remediation but the County will have to pay 60% of all costs to remediate our stockpile.

Based on this unfunded liability and the increased cost of operating our two landfills within current State Regulations and in compliance with the terms of our landfill permits we have reluctantly increased disposal fees to help offset current and future cost.

Our landfills are necessary to the health and welfare of our community and to maintain the visible condition of our County regardless of any recycling efforts that may reduce the waste flow into our landfills. Recycling efforts may extend the life of the landfills but cannot replace or mitigate their existence.

Enjoyed Article on Teasdale Church Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed the article about the old Teasdale Church that appeared in last Thursday’s Insider newspaper. It was interesting to read about its history and what the future plans are. Thanks [to Annette Lamb] for writing it!

Public Comment Period Open for Review of Wahweap Roads Plan PAGE, AZ - Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is seeking public comment on a newly released environmental assessment (EA) for the proposed rehabilitation of Lakeshore Drive and Wahweap Boulevard within Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The EA was prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act. “Maintaining public access to the park, including lake access at Wahweap, is a high priority for us,” commented Superintendent Todd Brindle. “The proposed road rehabilitation would result in some traffic delays and detours during construction, but public access would remain available.”

Fr. Rafael Murello Everyone Welcome Potluck meal to follow Bring a dish to share

The EA describes the anticipated effects to park resources and visitor experience associated with the proposed rehabilitation of the primary Wahweap area access roads, road drainage systems, and select roadside pull-outs. These actions are needed to maintain safe vehicular access. The EA describes and evaluates two management alternatives. One alternative is to move forward with completing the proposed road rehabilitation activities, the other is a “no action” alternative whereby the park would not take these actions.

Glen Canyon National Recreation Area welcomes public review and comments during the public comment period from March 27 through April 27, 2015. The Lakeshore Drive / Wahweap Boulevard Road Rehabilitation EA is available in electronic format at http:// parkplanning.nps.gov/glcawahweaproads.

Five Things You Can Do to Add More Joy or Happiness to Your Life

Cafe Diablo will be opening for the season on April 3rd.

Open from 11am to 10pm.

by SuzAnne Jorgensen Family & Consumer Sciences Educator/4-H - Garfield County Try these simple tips to help you find more joy and happiness in your life.

1. Pay attention to things you like or enjoy. Whether it is the color of spring green grass, the taste of your favorite food or the smell of cookies baking, say in your mind or even out loud something that reflects what you are enjoying. Try something like “I just love the color of the brilliant blue sky when there are no clouds!

2. Feel gratitude for the things you appreciate. Whether you are grateful that you have a job, thankful that you have working indoor plumbing or glad that you have a computer or a printer say something positive about what you are thankful for.

You could say something like “I’m so happy that I have a car that works!”

3. Find the good in situations that are less than favorable.

When something goes contrary to what you were hoping, find the good in the situation. When you have to go to the dentist you can say “I’m so glad I live in a time when dentists can fix teeth rather than having to pull them without painkillers!” As the popular song says, “When the dog bites, when the bee stings or when I’m feeling sad. . . I simply remember my favorite things, and then I don’t feel so bad!”

4. When somethings goes bad, remember how it was when it was good. When you’re sick, say “I’m so thankful for my health!”, when your car (or appliance) breaks down, you could say “I’m so grateful my refrigerator usually works” or when you have to go to the dentist you can say “I’m so glad when my teeth are fixed!”.

5. Imagine how it would be if it was the way you wanted it. You can say things like: “Wouldn’t it be fabulous if I had enough money to pay all my bills on time!”, “Wouldn’t it be great if we could go on a cruise to the Bahamas?”, “What if we could to afford to buy a new car?” “Imagine if you had your dream job.”

Whatever we focus on tends to expand. By appreciating the simple things in life, the bigger things can seem a lot less stressful!

Fishlake National Forest Supervisor Moving to Washington RICHFIELD - After nearly 7 years at the helm of the Fishlake National Forest, Allen Rowley has accepted a position in the Forest Service’s Washington Office as the National Director for Range Management and Vegetation Ecology. He is scheduled to report to his new position in April.

During his time as the Fishlake National Forest Supervisor, Allen lead the Fishlake in implementing projects in a variety of program areas including range management, fire and fuels, recreation and energy development. Exam-

losing someone we love to a terminal illness,” said Darcy Olsen, the president of the Goldwater Institute, the group leading the national, bipartisan Right To Try effort. “If you know there’s a treatment that is helping people survive, who is anyone to say ‘No; you don’t have the right to try to save your own life or to save your child’s life’? Of course you do. Of course people should have the right to try promising medicines when they are fighting for their lives.”

Right To Try laws are already in place in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, South Dakota, and Wyoming. Twenty-five additional states are considering the law this year. Lawmakers in Mississippi, Montana, and Virginia have sent similar bills to their governors for approval.

The FDA has a process that allows individual patients to ask permission to access investigational medicines, but fewer than 1,000 people a year receive help. Others die while waiting on their approval. The FDA recently announced plans to shorten the

ples include the completion of a review of the existing Travel Management Plan to improve motorized travel experiences on the Fishlake, the implementation of the Sigurd to Red Butte Transmission Line project where it crosses the Forest, and the completion of the Fishlake Oil and Gas Leasing Analysis.

From March 2012 to October 2014 Rowley served a duel role as the Forest Supervisor for the Fishlake as well as the Acting Forest Supervisor for the Manti-La Sal National Forest headquarter in Price, Utah.

“I value my time here and will miss working with the great people of the Fishlake, the high performing team we have here, and the beautiful landscapes of this area. At the same time, I look forward to the opportunities my new job presents,” Rowley said.

As the Intermountain Region searches for a new Forest Supervisor for the Fishlake, Kurt Robins will be serving in an acting role as the Forest Supervisor. Kurt is currently the District Ranger on the Fremont River Ranger District of the Fishlake.

but important projects, include the Oral History Project that records stories and information from local and regional residents that live and work in this area prior to the establishment of the Monument. Also the storing of all the research that has been done in the Monument since the early 1990s into a publically-assessed database at Southern Utah University and the rehabilitation of Corral Springs with assistance from the Kaibab Piute elders and youth.

To do this work that assists in meeting the goals and mission of the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument management, the Partners hires 10 employees and dozens of volunteers. A 10-member volunteer Board of Directors from communities adjacent to the National Monument gov-

Conservation Lands Foundation is an umbrella non-profit foundation that manages the Friends Grassroots Network. This Network consists of 59 Friends Groups around the western United States. Each of these community-based Friends Group work with their BLM office to help with projects within that specific National Monument, National Conservation Area, National Trail, Wilderness Area, or National River Unit.

There are 874 such speciallydesigned Nationally Conservation Lands units managed by the BLM in the western United States.

application form. “A simpler form is lipstick on a pig, window dressing for an inhumane system that prevents the vast majority of Americans with terminal illnesses from accessing promising investigational treatments.

Compassionate use should be the rule for everyone, not the exception,” said Olsen.

The New York Times and Wall Street Journal have both editorialized that the Right To Try movement is prompting long overdue change at the FDA. Utah State Representative Gage Froerer sponsored the Right To Try legislation.

Jonathan Johnson, chairman of Utah-based Overstock.com, recently announced plans to establish a foundation that will help people afford investigational medications not covered by health insurance.

Right To Try is limited to patients with a terminal disease that have exhausted all conventional treatment options and cannot enroll in a clinical trial. All medications available under the law must have successfully completed basic safety testing and be part of the FDA’s on-going approval process.

Schools & Sports GCSD Student-ParentTeacher Survey

I would like to make everyone aware of an upcoming District survey. The survey will be available for a short time beginning on April 1, 2015 through Friday, April 17, 2015. The purpose of the survey is to gather valuable information from the stakeholders in our District. Parents and guardians who have students in 3rd through 12th grade will be encouraged to participate in the survey. Please know, the responses are anonymous and no personal information will be collected.

The result of the survey will be shared with the School Board, District Administration, and classroom teachers. The survey is short and will take less than 10 minutes to complete. Each year, the survey provides the District with valuable information and the opportunity to recognize areas of success and address areas of concern. You can access the survey by logging onto the District web page at http://www.garfield.k12.ut.us/ or typing http://tinyurl.com/GarfieldParentSurvey in a web browser. Three surveys will be available for the students, parents, and teachers. If you have questions regarding the survey, or if we can help in any way, please contact us at the District office at 435-676-8821. I would personally like to thank you in advance for your participation.

WE OUR LOCAL CUSTOMERS - and we heard your request Watch for TAQUITOS & BURRITOS on the menu next week!

Wayne High School is interested in purchasing a retractable U.S. flag to place in our gym.

The flag represents our pride in America, and we want to have your institution’s name attached to this very patriotic symbol.

Morgan Rolling Flags is a company located in the western United States that creates retractable flags for public schools, city and county government buildings, and other businesses needing motorized flags.

The flags include banners and a flag box that make excellent advertising for donors.

Because the motorized flags are very expensive the school is trying to acquire donations and sponsors to help acquire the flag.

We are really excited to have a flag like this in our gym.

We recently received a $1000 anonymous donation to begin our purchasing process.

Please let us know if you are interested in donating for this cause.

Remember, your donation includes the attachment of your logo/design on the flag box.

We will be ordering the flag and flag box in May, 2015.

If we could have your response by this date, we would truly appreciate it!

Special Rules Regarding Retirement Accounts

ciary, the spouse can convert the retirement account to his or her own IRA. This allows the spouse to continue to defer distribution of the proceeds based on the spouse’s life expectancy.

However, in situations of very large estates where the spouse would have sufficient assets without the retirement account, the children or grandchildren may be the best beneficiary choice.

Naming the children or grandchildren as beneficiaries of different individual retirement accounts during the life of the account owner can allow for a greater “stretch” of the income tax deferral during the owner’s life and especially upon the owner’s death. This is true even though there are restrictions regarding the use of a child or grandchild’s combined life expectancy.

There are many issues related to retirement accounts within an individual’s estate plan. It is very important to review decisions regarding retirement accounts especially

by Jeffery J. McKenna

Retirement accounts such as IRAs, Keoghs, 401(k) s and 403(b)s present special estate planning concerns.

Many tax issues must be addressed when planning for the lifetime distribution of retirement accounts to an owner as well as the balances remaining upon an account owner’s death. The IRS has provided many rules and guidelines related to these retirement accounts both during an owner’s life and upon his or her death.

Specifically, proceeds from traditional retirement accounts (generally retirement accounts other than Roth IRAs) are subject to income tax the year they are received.

Therefore, account owners, and those who may inherit accounts, generally want to keep distributions to a minimum to reduce taxes provided there is not an immediate need for the assets.

Many account owners reach retirement and find they do not need the assets in their retirement accounts to supplement their retirement. For many of these individuals, their desire is to defer the distribution of these proceeds and allow the assets to continue to grow tax deferred.

Based on the current law, an individual can defer taking proceeds out of most retirement accounts only up to age 70½ (there is no mandatory withdrawal for Roth IRAs).

However, at age 70½, an individual must begin taking his or her required minimum distributions.

These required minimum distributions are based on the life expectancy of the owner as well as the named beneficiary. The required minimum distribution rules allow the account owner to combine his or her life expectancy with the named beneficiary’s life expectancy.

Often, if an individual is married, the spouse is the best choice for the beneficiary. If a spouse is named as benefi-

We recently bought a new car.

I can remember the days when we would get in and take a deep breath and enjoy the new car smell. Wishing it came in a spray mist so you could enjoy it forever.

But a little knowledge takes the joy out of even that, now all we could think of was the offgasing coming from the various plastics, upholstery, and glues holding it together.

I guess awareness is progress, but it sure does ruin the mood.

Popping Ears

Aboard a flight from Los Angeles to New York, an elderly lady was taking her very first flight.

They had only been aloft a few minutes when she complained to the flight attendant that her ears were popping.

The attendant smiled and gave the older woman some chewing gum, assuring her that many people experienced the same discomfort.

When they landed in New York, Grandma thanked the flight attendant.

"The chewing gum worked fine," she said, "but tell me, how do I get it out of my ears?"

Signs

Over the years, my husband and I have usually managed to decode the cute but confusing gender signs sometimes put on restaurant restroom doors (Buoys and Gulls, Laddies and Lassies, etc.), but every so often we get stumped.

Recently my husband wandered off in search of the men's room and found himself confronted by two marked doors.

One was labeled "Bronco," and the other was designated "Cactus."

Completely baffled, he stopped a restaurant employee passing by. "Excuse me. I need to use the restroom," he said.

Gesturing toward the doors, he asked, "Which one should I use?"

"Actually, we would prefer you to go there," the employee said, pointing to a door down the hall marked "Men." "Bronco and Cactus are private dining rooms."

Loose Tooth

I was leaving for a twoday conference, and my sevenyear-old daughter was becoming overly clinging and teary.

I was mystified at her emotional reaction until I heard her say to my husband, "Daddy, I have a loose tooth.

If it falls out while Mommy is gone, do you know how to handle this tooth fairy thing?"

Speeding Judges

Two judges, both from small counties, got arrested for speeding on the same day.

Rather than call the state Supreme Court for a visiting judge, each agreed to hear the other's case.

The first judge took the bench while the second stood at the defendant's table, and admitted his guilt. The sentencing judge immediately suspended both the fine and costs.

They switched places.

The second judge admitted that he was speeding, too.

Thereupon the first judge immediately fined him $250 and ordered him to pay court costs.

The second judge was furious. "I suspended your fine and costs, but you threw the book at me!" he fumed. The first judge looked at him and replied, "This is the second such case we've had in here today. Someone has to get tough about all this speeding!"

OBITUARIES

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com

Darrell Worthen

ST. GEORGE - While it is with great sorrow we face the loss of a beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and brother, it is with great joy he is welcomed home into the arms of loved ones in his Father's house on March 22, 2015, at the age of 89.

Darrell Farran Worthen was born to Dora Bunnell Allred and Darrell Franklin Worthen in Spring City, Utah on August 20, 1925, and was raised in Panguitch, Utah. He is one of four children. Darrell married the love of his life, Ardenia Martin, for time and all eternity in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Temple in Salt Lake City, Utah on October 28, 1946. They were blessed with three children, Sharon Manookin (Dave) of Salt Lake City, Utah; Debbie Spivey (Ken) of Chesterfield, Virginia; and Kevin Worthen (Liese) of Rochester, New York, who in turn have blessed them with 11 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his parents, sisters, Norreen Ball and Donnetta Cassidy, and is survived by his loving wife and family, and one brother, John Worthen (Jeanie) of Salt Lake City, Utah. He was a United States Army veteran, having honorably served during World War II, was a master carpenter and craftsman owning his own cabinet making business, and retired as a building trades teacher with the Henrico County School system. All who have come to know and love Darrell have in some way been blessed by his desire to minister, love, counsel and bring brightness and cheer to others. He has shared his commitment to the gospel and love for the Savior through his many years of service in the bishopric and as bishop of the former Colonial Heights Ward in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. One of the hardest workers you’ll meet, he enjoyed his association with the Colonial Heights American Legion Post #284, as a member and chairman of the Building and Grounds Committee, the Forty & Eight Voiture #1530, the VFW #2239, a twice past president of the Colonial Heights Senior Citizen Club, and chairman of the Colonial Heights Senior Citizen Advisory Committee.

A visitation will be held from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 26, 2015, at the Colonial Heights Chapel of the E. Alvin Small Funeral Homes & Crematory, 2033 Boulevard, Colonial Heights, Virginia 23834. A brief American Legion service will be held at 6:00 p.m. at the beginning of the visitation.

The Funeral Service will be held at 12:00 noon on Friday, March 27, 2015, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Swift Creek Ward Building, 501 Compton Road, Colonial Heights, Virginia 23834. Interment will follow at Southlawn Memorial Park, 1911 Birdsong Road, Petersburg, Virginia 23805 located in Prince George, Virginia.

This is Easter week, the Holiest of days in the Christian World. It is a time of hope for all of us. The Easter egg hunt is this afternoon @ 1:00, I hope you made it to the City Park, with your kids, grandkids and your camera, it is a fun time.

Pat and I just got back in from Calif. I do love the ocean. The weather was wonderful (75 degrees and no coastal fog).

We started off by going over to San Juan Capistrano and they were celebrating the Swallows returning. A party at every restaurant and everyone was having a lot of fun. When they rebuilt the bell tower at the Mission at Capistrano, 20 years ago, it scared the Swallows away and they haven’t been back since, but that didn’t stop the partying.

Monday we took the Amtrack up to Santa Barbara, from San Juan, it is about a 4 hour ride, but oh so relaxing.

The ride into LA isn’t much, but then the train goes back to the coast and it was spectacular. You could see the islands as clear as day and they are at least 20 miles away. We spent 3 hours wandering down State Street in Santa Barbara, going through the shops. You can go the other way and go out on their pier. Santa Barbara is a fun place, but very expensive.

We were so glad that we were riding the train coming home and leaving all of the traffic behind. Usually we take the train down to San Diego and visit the attractions there, both way are very restful.

On Wednesday we hit Disney land, (Pats favorite place) it was a long day. We did a lot of people watching and going on a few rides. The Indiana Jones ride was a little hair rais-

ing and it is a good thing they belt you in, because that’s the only thing that keeps you from being catapulted from the car.

I ate a turkey leg while Pat and our friend rode the It’s a Small World ride, which served as my lunch and dinner. How do they grow turkeys with that big of legs? Our friend told us that Wednesday was the best day to go, because there were less people there. I would hate to see it on a busy day, there were thousands of kids there, why weren’t they in school? I notice nobody had on the same shirt and the tattoo artists were doing a thriving business. It was a fun day and we stayed till 9, to watch the water show and the fireworks.

Time for a little bragging about our daughter Shawn Caine, the Computer teacher at PHS. Last December, my daughter Shawn, represented Brian Head at the Pacesetters Nastar Races in Aspen, Colo.

She won a bronze medal, in the slalom race. She continued racing throughout the season and earned 2nd place in the State, in slalom racing.

Because of her ranking in the state, she qualified for the Nastar National Championship ski races, in Snowmass, Colo.

This past Saturday, her last race of the season, she won the gold medal, in the 1st Annual Georg Hartlmaier Classic Races.

We have some more openings of restaurants in town for the summer, the Smoke house with their barbecue-to-perfection meats, ribs steaks and chickens. The Gem Theater is again serving soups and sandwiches while you wait on the movie. The Zubia’s have moved their Mexican food restaurant down

It won’t be long till summer is here and the motels will be filling up with costumers.

Well the fun time of the year has come to an end, the Legislature has adjourned.

They passed over three hundred bills, many of them on the last days of the session.

Maybe when the politicians wake up and find many of these bills were changed at the last minute. They slipped in a sales tax and a property tax increase, to help pay for the State prison relocation. Like most of the states in the country anyone can now get married and they can’t discriminate against you in housing, your job or restaurant where you want to eat. They gave Utah State University a million and a half dollars to help them recruit football players. ½ million to stop the stampede of the wild wolfs from coming in to the state. However they did give the teachers a 4 per cent raise keeping them as the lowest paid teachers in the country. The flogging will continue till morale gets better as far as teachers go. This is the first raise the teachers

have received since Governor Huntsman was in office. Of course with all of the money coming in from the health industries, they didn’t pass any health plans for those who don’t make enough money to pay for insurance and too much to qualify for Medicaid.

I wonder when someone dies because they don’t have the money to go to a doctor, do these politicians feel bad or do they just drop money in a jar to pay for the funeral.

Keep the 14th of April open, at the City Council meeting, Kim Soper will be presenting, his annexing plan to the Council. Kim has poured hundred of hours of time into this project and the people of Panguitch need to thank him.

Since we have lived here they have talked about annexing piece meal locations into the City, finally someone is doing something about it. There will be an open period where you can comment on the annexing. Many of our young volunteers, fire fighters, EMTs live in these areas and should have a say in the working of Panguitch.

Well Acquainted with Rural Life: Tropic Town's June Shakespear Stories from the Southern Utah Oral History Project

Opening April 3rd

by Mariella Minton, Contributing Writer a bunch of us and we rented a little house.”

After high school, June went on to study at the University of Wyoming in Laramie. After a couple years there she took a job working in the county treasurer’s office in Basin. She planned on the working there for a short time to earn some money to use for tuition, but she ended up staying with the job rather than returning to school.

“It was a lot of checking land description against the tax notices and accepting tax payment, so on a d so forth,” she said. But she learned a lot about land descriptions, she said, and it was, “quite interesting,” so she stuck with it,

In July 1998, The Southern Utah Oral History Project began with an interest in preserving the cultural history of small towns in southern Utah bordering Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM). The Utah Division of State History and the Bureau of Land Management worked together on the project to achieve the following goals: to interview long time residents in order to collect information about the people and land use during the late twentieth century; to transcribe the interviews and make copies of the transcripts available to the public; to build a relationship between state and federal agencies and local communities; and to provide a medium for communities near Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument to preserve and communicate their local history and culture to others.

Many of these interview subjects have since passed away, as is the case with this week’s profile, Mrs. June Shakespear.

June Shakespear of Tropic was born in Wyoming on August 1, 1919. Born June Winters, she and her seven siblings were raised in a log house on farm a few miles outside the town of Otto. June’s father raised Great Northern beans, bees for honey, and cattle.

As children, June spent summers helping her father and siblings with chores like milking the cows and leading them to and from pasture, or weeding the bean crops, or harvesting the bee hives for honey — even though, “the thing about that was, I was allergic to bee stings,” she said years later in a 1998 interview with Suzi Montgomery.

June went on to admit she’d been stung a “couple” times over the years. “Well, when you start swelling up and it gets hard to breath and you break out in hives all over, then…. Sometimes they just put me in a tub of warm water and a little soda and like that, it would generally pass.”

On summer nights, one of her brothers would play guitar while June and her sisters sang songs like “Shine on Harvest Moon,” and “Neapolitan Nights,” or “Drifting and Dreaming.”

Once the school year rolled around though, it meant business. June’s mother, born in Summitt, Utah, was a schoolteacher before she had children, and she placed a high value on education, even if it meant sending them to school on the “bus.” The bus, June explained, was nothing more than a flat bed truck covered in canvas with an exhaust pipe running down the middle to keep the children warm on the winter morning rides to school.

The first year of high school, June’s classes were June Shakespear. held twelve miles away in Basin, Wyoming and there was no bus, so which ended up coming in June and some other students handy in her future role as seclived in Basin. “I don’t know retary of the irrigation comhow the parents trusted us,” pany in Tropic. she said, “but there would be June was on vacation in

Placenames: Loseeville/Clifton LOSEEVILLE/CLIFTON, situated three miles east of what is now the town of Tropic, was the first town in the upper Paria River Drainage. Ebenezer Bryce settled in 1876 followed by Daniel

Goulding in 1878. They built a ditch to bring water to the valley from Pine Creek, but within five years both men grew frustrated by the lack of water and moved. Shortly thereafter, in 1886 the first

One of thirteen internments at the Loseeville Cemetery east of Tropic Town.

Birdseed

permanent settlers arrived.

There was already another Clifton in the state, so the name of the town was changed to Loseeville in honor of early settler, Isaac H. Losee. A church and school were built and services began for the 20 or so families who had settled.

In 1891 the families organized an irrigation company to regulate the use of Pine Creek and Henderson Canyon water. Try as they might to control the water, within ten years the cycle of drought and flood forced the families to abandon Loseeville.

Today visitors to Loseeville will find the historic Loseeville cemetery with thirteen internments. Seven of these are identified, the earliest dated in 1889. These seven are: Isadora Allen, Elizabeth Richards, Thomas Elwin Smith, Isaac Huff Losee, Sarah Gilbert Losee, Eliza Jane Losee Cox, John G. Losee.

GETTING THERE: From Tropic, follow Center Street three miles to the east.

The pavement will turn to a dirt road. After three miles look for the Loseeville historic marker, a large rock monument on the north side of the road. Private land surrounds the old town site and cemetery, please respect the ‘no trespassing’ signs.

I feed the little songbirds that come to our back yard.

Some nyjer socks, a feeder stand, it really isn't hard.

There's lots of little finches, and juncos by the galore, And pinon jays to guzzle feed until there ain't no more.

We even had some wild turkeys. They messed the place up nice.

But goodness me, that seed and thistle sure had a fancy price.

The gummint must be subsidizing seed for ethanol.

Pretty soon we won't afford to feed them birds at all.

A wayward junco smacked a window just the other day.

It rang his bell. It took three hours 'til he could fly away.

I wished I'd had some little bitty birdy aspirin.

On the other hand he ain't that dum to smack that glass again.

Tropic visiting her sister who had married a local man, Vernal Shakespeare. They got June to write to Vernal’s brother, Obie Shakespeare who was overseas serving in the military in Australia. When he returned June moved to Tropic and the two were married in December of 1945.

Even for June, who was very familiar with rural life in the early 20th century, Tropic in the 1940s “seemed kind of isolated,” she said.

“There was just one phone in town, and there weren’t all that many cars,” June remembers from 1945. “And people didn’t run to the store to get things. Only when they absolutely had to. You just raised your gardens, you bottled fruits and vegetables, you stored your vegetables in the cellars and if the cow went dry, why, you went without milk unless you could borrow some from the neighbors.”

But she soon grew to love it. “I wouldn’t think of living anywhere else now,” she said.

Over the years, June became more and more interested in the history of Tropic. She began collecting information about the early settlement of the town and of Bryce Valley as a whole, including the town of Loseeville, which preceded Tropic but was located in nearly the same place.

“Why, I decided the town did need someone to compile a history and since I probably was the one who was the most informed at that time, why I decided maybe I’d better just proceed and try and do it on my own, so I’ve been kind of working at it ever since.”

June gave history talks at the church, and when the Daughters of Utah Pioneers had a convention in Tropic, they asked June to attend and give a history of the area. Then, in 1992 when Tropic held their centennial celebration, they asked June to speak about the history.

June and Obie ended up having ten children together.

While raising the four boys and six girls, June also served as secretary for the Relief Society with the LDS church for eighteen years and followed her husband as secretary of the irrigation company for 15 years, building on the skills she had learned working in the county treasurer’s office back in Wyoming. She was always collecting pieces of local history, and, as if she didn’t have enough on her plate, June kept a “notorious” vegetable garden and fruit orchard.

June Shakespear passed away January 26, 2005.

Practical Money Matters

Debt and the Deceased How Should Spouses and Heirs Proceed?

If your loved one died leaving significant debt behind, would you know what to do?

It's a worrisome question for everyone. Young or old, based on particular debt circumstances or geographic location, death with debt can provide significant problems for surviving family members.

Depending on state law and the specific credit relationships involved, they might be shocked to learn that they could be legally liable for a deceased relative's outstanding debt – anything from unpaid mortgage balances and medical debt to unpaid credit card balances.

Spouses (http://www. practicalmoneyskills.com/ unexpecteddeath) who may share any kind of debt jointly, particularly credit cards in dual name, could face greater challenges. It also may spell problems for co-signers of any kind of loan.

As with all financial planning, the best time to act is before an issue arises. Watching any family deal with extensive debt problems after a spouse or relative passes on illustrates the need for financial transparency while all parties are alive. No matter how difficult a family member's credit circumstances are, spouses and adult children should face those circumstances while options are available to deal with any problems.

Spouses can begin by requesting and sharing their three free annual credit reports (https://www.annualcreditreport.com/index.action) from TransUnion, Experian and Equifax to confirm debt status. Once that information is out in the open, it's time for the couple or family members

by Jason Alderman to deal with specific circumstances related to that debt.

For example, a young couple may have different debt issues than an older, retired couple, but both should consider how they would handle the debts of a spouse or legal partner after death. It can be helpful to meet with a qualified financial or estate expert about ways to extinguish or manage debt issues as part of current financial and estate planning.

It is particularly important for borrowers and their executors to know what categories of the deceased's debts will likely need to be repaid after their death and other debts that might be canceled or forgiven. Generally, certain forms of unsecured debt held in the deceased's name alone – like credit cards or federal student loans – may likely be discharged, but check with qualified experts first.

Any kind of debt held in joint name should be evaluated. Spouses, legal partners and family members who have co-signed loans or joint credit accounts of any kind risk payoff responsibility for that debt if their co-borrower dies. Experts can advise how to deal with individual situations.

Experts also may suggest that co-borrowers without credit in their own names apply for a credit card in separate names while their spouse

is still alive. A separate credit account, if responsibly managed, can help the survivor qualify for additional credit in their name after a spouse or legal partner dies.

Keep in mind that all debt situations are unique to the individual. For example, a senior who qualifies for nursing home care under Medicaid (public aid) may have family members who will need to sell the senior's home to address certain expenses after he or she has died. It is best to prepare relatives for that possibility in advance. Separately, a healthy senior relative may leave a home to heirs still under mortgage, or there could be a significant tax debt.

Airing and reviewing these issues in advance can either prepare relatives for certain realities or enable them to solve problems while the relative is still alive.

Bottom line: Dealing with a deceased relative's debt can add stress at a particularly worrisome time for spouses and relatives. The best option is transparency while relatives are alive so debt issues can be addressed as part of overall estate planning.
