Utah Launches The Mighty Five™ Spring/Summer Advertising Campaign
Think Spring!
Spots Promoting National Parks to Appear on Regional TV Stations SALT LAKE CITY The Utah Office of Tourism launched a $3.1 million spring/summer regional television advertising campaign at the Capitol today to promote Utah’s five national parks known as The Mighty Five™. The campaign will include TV commercials in Los Angeles, Denver, Phoenix, Portland, San Francisco, and Seattle, as well as digital outdoor, wallscapes, online, and social media. “Utah’s five stunning national parks contribute to Utah’s economy in a meaningful way by creating muchneeded jobs and impacting local economies in gateway communities and surrounding areas,” said Utah Governor Gary R. Herbert. “We are really excited to launch The Mighty Five™ to promote our iconic national parks that are becoming more popular, especially with international visitors who come to experience the red rock of the Desert Southwest,” said Vicki Varela, managing director of the Utah Office of Tourism,
Film, and Global Branding, an agency of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development. “Whether you’re looking for memorable family fun, an adrenaline rush, or the solace of nature, you’re sure to discover an unforgettable experience that can only be found in Utah.” Visitation has continued to increase at Utah’s national parks, even in a down economy. In 2012, 6.5 million recreation visits were made to Utah’s five national parks. Another 5.1 million recreation visits occurred at Utah’s seven national monuments, two national recreation areas, and one national historic site. Spots for the television campaign can be viewed on the Office of Tourism’s YouTube Channel at http://www. youtube.com/user/utahtourism. The commercials feature all of Utah’s five national parks: Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, and Zion. “Utah is the most amazing place in the world,” said Robb Baumann whose wife
and two children are featured in the TV commercials. Baumann, a graduate of the University of Utah, was familiar with The Greatest Snow on Earth® of Utah’s slopes, but business would eventually lead him to a successful job with an aerospace company in Florida. On a flight, he ran across a Utah Life Elevated® ad that he put in his desk drawer as a constant 18-month reminder that he and his wife wanted to move their family back to Utah. “It’s not hard to imagine why people would visit here and then want to live here.” Three, five, and sevenday itineraries to visit The Mighty Five™ parks can be found online at http://www. visitutah.com/parks-monuments/mighty5/. The National Park Service reports no Utah parks will be closed, but services may be impacted due to the Sequestration. —Utah Office of Tourism, Governor’s Office of Economic Development

NPS Issues Mussel Update for Lake Powell PAGE, AZ – The National Park Service (NPS) has identified 14 adult quagga mussels attached to moored vessels and dock structures at the Wahweap Marina in Lake Powell over the last week. None of the adult mussels were close enough together to mate for successful reproduction. All of the mussels were physically removed from the lake. The first four mussels were found when a local marine service business noticed the small shells on a boat that had been pulled for maintenance and then notified the NPS. “We really appreciate the report of this finding since it will help in the removal of the adult mussels before they can reproduce,” said Mark Anderson, Glen Canyon Ecologist. “It’s likely that the mussels were introduced via ballast or bilge water from a boat(s) that was not cleaned, drained, or dried.” Boats, docks, and cables in Wahweap Bay will continue to be assessed by the NPS dive team. The Antelope Point area
was inspected beginning in December of 2012 with no mussels discovered. Superintendent Brindle remains hopeful that the monitoring results are not evidence of an established population of mussels. “If it is an early detection, the mussels may not establish and reproduce”, said Brindle. “It is important to note that we have not found a reproducing population,” Anderson stated. “Prevention is still the most effective way to fight invasive species, so we will continue the boat inspections that are currently in place. Everyone needs to take this as a warning to continue to clean, drain, and dry your boat and equipment after every use.” Additional monitoring information and updates are posted on the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area webpage at www.nps.gov/glca/. —National Park Service Glen Canyon N.R.A.
Boats Must be Decontaminated Before Leaving Lake Powell Mussel find prompts order
If your weekend plans include boating on Lake Powell, you’ll have to decontaminate your boat before you leave the lake. An order requiring you to decontaminate your boat was signed recently by Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Director Greg Sheehan. The recent discovery of 14 adult mussels at Lake Powell prompted the order. Utah wildlife and state park officials say the order should lessen the chance that mussels are transported from Lake Powell to other bodies of water in Utah. “We’re doing everything we can to keep quagga and zebra mussels out of Utah,” says Larry Dalton, aquatic invasive species coordinator for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. “If mussels ever establish themselves here, they could do millions of dollars in damage to water delivery systems. They could also affect the state’s recreation areas and fishing, and damage boats.” Dalton says you can decontaminate your boat on your own, or you can have it professionally decontaminated. Whichever way you choose, make sure you complete a decontamination certification form. The form is available at www.wildlife.utah.gov/ dwr/invasive-mussels/454formoptions.html. You must display the form in your launch vehicle before launching your boat on any water in Utah. Instructions on how to decontaminate your boat are available at www.wildlife. utah.gov/dwr/decontaminate. html. Dalton says the decontamination order isn’t just for this weekend. “The order will stay in place as long as there are mussels in Lake Powell,” he says. Clean, drain and dry Quagga and zebra mussels move from water to water by attaching themselves to boats and other equipment that comes in contact with the water. Cleaning, draining and drying your boat and any recreational equipment that comes in contact with the water is the key to eliminating the mussels. “You can do this yourself,” Dalton says, “and it won’t cost you a thing.” Follow these three steps to clean, drain and dry your boat: (1) Remove all of the plants, mud or animals (attached mussels or fish) from your boat’s exterior and inte-
rior by wiping the exterior and interior clean. (2) Drain all the water from places in your boat where it may have accumulated. This includes the ballast tanks, the bilge, live wells and the motor. Even coolers that contain water from the lake should be drained. The first two steps should be done immediately after pulling your boat out of the water and up the launch ramp. “Doing these steps should become as routine as securing your boat to its trailer,” Dalton says. “Make sure you do them every time.” (3) Finally, dry your boat and all the equipment that got wet (water toys, anchor or tie ropes and the anchor chest) at home or where you store it for the following length of time: • March, April and May: 18 days • June, July and August: 7 days • September, October and November: 18 days • December, January and February: 30 days Temperatures that drop below 32 degrees Fahrenheit for three straight days will also kill the mussels. If you want to get your boat on the water before the drying times allow, you’ll have to get it professionally decontaminated. “Decontamination equipment is available at most of Utah’s popular boating waters,” Dalton says, “and the service is typically free.” When you get your boat decontaminated, a certified operator will wash it inside and out with scalding hot water (140 degrees Fahrenheit). He or she will also use the

OP-ED
Utah Prairie Dog Conservation Requires Collaboration, Not Conflict by Noreen Walsh Regional Director for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Mountain-Prairie Region A recent editorial authored by Iron County Commissioner Dave Miller expressed concern that protection of the federally listed Utah prairie dog infringes on private property rights. Commissioner Miller also expressed concern that the conservation partners involved in Utah prairie dog recovery are spending too much time in planning processes, and not enough effort in recovery implementation. I am writing to you to provide information that clearly shows that the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (Service) and our conservation partners are actively working to recover the federally threatened Utah prairie dog (Cynomys parvidens), through a wide array of ongoing on-the-ground conservation actions. In addition, we continue to work with the local communities to minimize the impacts associated with the presence of Utah prairie dogs on private lands. Management flexibility to landowners Utah prairie dogs prefer the same types of habitats that humans want to cultivate and develop -- approximately 75% of Utah prairie dogs occur on private or other non-federal lands. As such, conflicts arise when humans want to use their private lands but may unintentionally kill or harm Utah prairie dogs. We have provided mechanisms that allow flexibility in management of listed species so that the impacts to private property owners are minimized. As an example, we published revisions to a special rule, called a 4(d) rule, that allows landowners to “take”, i.e., translocate or kill up to 10 percent of the rangewide population annually. This rule, which allows lethal take on agricultural lands throughout the species range, has been in place since 1984. After hearing how Utah prairie dogs damaged local airports and cemeteries, our 2012 4(d) rule revision now allows lethal take in areas where Utah prairie dogs create human safety issues (e.g., airports) or disturb the sanctity of human burial or cultural sites. We also
provided substantial funding, labor, and equipment to fence the Parowan airport and Paragonah cemeteries, allowing lethal take at these sites under our revised 4(d) rule. Recovery Efforts for Utah prairie dogs In 2012, we revised the Utah Prairie Dog Recovery Plan. The revised Recovery Plan recommends a twopronged approach to facilitate recovery of the Utah prairie dog—continuing conservation efforts on federal lands, and expanding conservation efforts on private or other nonfederal lands. Because 75% of the species’ populations occur on private or other non-federal lands, recovery of the species will occur more rapidly if we are able to protect some of these key populations. We continue to work with our partners to protect some of these habitats. For example, in 2010, we completed a programmatic consultation with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for impacts to Utah prairie dogs at the Cedar City, Parowan, and Loa airports. As part of this consultation, the FAA committed to fund the purchase of important Utah prairie dog habitat. With the permission of the School & Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA), we will purchase approximately 800 acres of Utah prairie dog habitat in Garfield County, Utah, this spring. Protection of the SITLA parcel, using the FAA funds, will go a long ways toward meeting our recovery goals of 5,000 acres of protected habitat in each Recovery Unit. Conservation and management of the Utah prairie dog is an ongoing challenge and remains a priority for us and our partners. The actions of the Service and its partners have accomplished much toward the goal we share with people across the range of the Utah prairie dog: recovery of the species. Progress is being made, and could be made at an even more accelerated pace through the cooperative efforts of the existing Utah Prairie Dog Recovery Implementation Program.

USDA Invites Applications for Renewable Energy System and Energy Efficiency Improvement Projects SALT LAKE CITY – Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced that USDA is seeking applications to provide assistance to agricultural producers and rural small businesses for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. Funding is available from USDA’s Rural Energy for America Program (REAP). The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) remains focused on carrying out its mission, despite a time of significant budget uncertainty. Today’s announcement is one part of the Department’s efforts to strengthen the rural economy. “The Obama Administration continues its commitment to help our nation become more energy independent by partnering with agricultural producers and rural small businesses as they build renewable energy systems and reduce energy usage,” said Vilsack. “These investments will not only help our farmers and rural small businesses reduce energy costs, but also provide a new potential revenue source and stabilize their operations’ bottom lines.” REAP, authorized by the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008, (Farm Bill) is designed to help agricultural producers and rural small businesses reduce energy costs and consumption and help meet the Nation’s critical energy needs. USDA is accepting the follow-
ing applications: * Renewable energy system and energy efficiency improvement grant applications and combination grant and guaranteed loan applications until April 30, 2013; * Renewable energy system and energy efficiency improvement guaranteed loan only applications until July 15, 2013; * Renewable energy system feasibility study grant applications through April 30, 2013. More information on how to apply for funding is available in the March 29, 2013 Federal Register, pages 1918319190. The energy coordinator for USDA Rural Development in Utah is Lori Silva lori. silva@ut.usda.gov (801) 5244323. Since the passage of the 2008 Farm Bill and through the end of Fiscal Year 2012, REAP has funded nationwide over 6,800 renewable energy and energy efficiency projects, feasibility studies, energy audits, and renewable energy development assistance projects. This funding is an example of the many ways that USDA is helping revitalize rural economies to create opportunities for growth and prosperity, support innovative technologies, identify new markets for agricultural producers, and better utilization of our nation’s natural resources. The Obama Administration is working to promote do-

mestic production of renewable energy to create jobs, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, combat global warming, and build a stronger rural economy. The President’s plan for rural America has brought about historic investment and resulted in stronger rural communities. Under the President’s leadership, these investments in housing, community facilities, businesses and infrastructure have empowered rural America to continue leading the way – strengthening America’s economy, small towns, and rural communities. USDA’s investments in rural communities support the rural way of life that stands as the backbone of our American values. President Obama and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack are committed to a smarter use of Federal resources to foster sustainable economic prosperity and ensure the government is a strong partner for businesses, entrepreneurs and working families in rural communities. USDA has made a concerted effort to deliver results for the American people, even as USDA implements sequestration – the across-the-board budget reductions mandated under terms of the Budget Control Act. USDA has already undertaken historic efforts since 2009 to save more than $700 million in taxpayer funds through targeted, commonsense budget reductions. These reductions have put USDA in a better position to carry out its mission, while implementing sequester budget reductions in a fair manner that causes as little disruption as possible. —USDA Rural Development Agency

Spring Operational Hours for Glen Canyon National Recreation Area
PAGE, AZ - Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and its concessioners are expanding operational hours and opening facilities parkwide for the spring season. With the closure of Hwy 89, Colorado River Discovery has adapted the types and number of tours available on the Colorado River below the dam. Half-day and full-day tours will
begin at the base of the dam. An additional tour will begin at Lees Ferry for a half-day run to the petroglyph panel and return to the Lees Ferry launch ramp. Glen Canyon asks visitors to play it safe while in the park. Bring water, snacks, hats, sunglasses and sunscreen – and use them. Visitors on the water should wear life jackets. Cliff jumping is not recommended
and illegal at 15’ or greater. Boating after dark is discouraged due to sub-surface water hazards. Boaters are reminded that all vessels launching on Lake Powell are required to be certified zebra mussel free prior to launching. Violators face mandatory court appearance and up to a $5000.00 fine or six months in jail.
New Personal Watercraft Regulation in Effect on Lake Powell PAGE, AZ - A new Personal Watercraft (PWC) regulation went into effect on January 1, 2013 which requires PWC operating on Lake Powell to meet 2006 emission standards established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The NPS delayed implementation of this regulation for ten years to minimize impacts to PWC owners and provide time for people to plan for this new requirement. “We are actively reaching out to the boating public about this change and will take the opportunity next summer to continue to educate park visitors on Lake Powell,” said Superintendent Todd Brindle. In recognition of the need to protect park resources while supporting the recreational interests of visitors, the National Park Service (NPS) signed a Record of Decision on June 27, 2003 allowing PWC use to continue under a special regulation with additional management requirements. One of the requirements, codified in 36 CFR § 7.70(e)(3) states: After December 31, 2012, no one may operate a PWC that does not meet the

School Notes The Students’ “Say” by McKenna Finch
PHS Update This past week the student of PHS have been very excited for a much needed break, which we are sure to enjoy. It’s finally starting to warm up a bit and everybody is really enjoying this fantastic weather. On Thursday the students were also able to participate in a rally for Debbie Pollock where they were able to go to the outdoor classroom of Little Dam and release balloons and also listen to a guest speaker. It was a great experience to see all the changes that have happened from their hard work at Little Dam last year and to help support a beloved teacher. With this change of season and absolutely gorgeous weather, also comes the service projects for Panguitch High. The students will soon be participating in the Red Canyon Clean-Up and also the highway clean up. These are some really great ways for the students to get involved and help maintain the gorgeous area we live in! As mentioned before we were also able to help restore Marilyn Bulkley’s outdoor classroom. The students cleaned up old washed out trails and even make and widened other trails. Little Dam is such a beautiful little area and is enjoyed by not only the students who have gone there to learn, but also by families around the area who picnic there. All of the clean-ups we participate in are a great way to make memories and become better acquainted with different people. So roll up your sleeves and dig in guys, ‘cause it’s time to clean-up again! McKenna Finch is a senior at Panguitch High School.

Broadview University to Reduce Tuition 14% for Full-time Students Tuition decrease is one of several steps the school is taking to reduce expenses for students and speed graduation SALT LAKE CITY - Broadview University, the area’s family-managed career college, announced today that it is reducing tuition by up to 14 percent for full-time students at campuses in Utah and Idaho. The tuition decrease goes into effect April 2013 with the school’s spring quarter. According to the school’s chief communications officer, Jeff Myhre, “We know that full-time students are twice as likely to graduate, borrow less money and start their careers sooner. That’s why our tuition decrease encourages students to enroll full-time.” The tuition reduction is one of several initiatives the school is introducing to continue to make college more affordable for everyone. Myhre is leading a bold initiative to reduce the cost of books and lab fees on a per class basis to $100 or less. To achieve that goal the school is piloting e-books and digital class materials that will replace paper equivalents. “Broadview University has always led in the distribution of generous scholarships, which defray the cost of school for many of our students. Last year alone in Utah and Idaho we awarded $1.7 million to our students in the form of scholarships,” said Myhre. On average, students receive $11,000 in scholarships, grants and other forms of aid over the course of their degree programs. To help students graduate more quickly Broadview University understands learning happens everywhere. Previous educational and life experiences will be considered for credit towards college courses. This will help reduce overall college costs and student debt load. Both of these costreducing features can save students several thousand dollars. Campuses affected by the tuition decrease include the cities of Salt Lake City, Layton, West Jordan and Orem in Utah, and Boise, Idaho. Students at Broadview Entertainment Arts University (BEAU) in Salt Lake City are also eligible for the tuition decreases.

Civilian Clothes
Native Tongue
A few years ago, I decided to visit my brother who was stationed in Germany. I assumed that most Germans would speak English. But I found that many people spoke only their native tongue - including the ticket inspector on the train. He punched my ticket, then chatted cordially for a bit, making gestures like a windmill. I simply nodded from time to time to show him that I was interested. When he had gone, an American woman soldier in the compartment leaned forward and asked if I spoke German. “No,” I confessed. “Then that explains,” she said, “why you didn’t bat an eyelid when he told you that you were on the wrong train.”
My friend received a package from the Navy containing the civilian clothes her son was wearing when he left for boot camp. Not wanting to open the box, she put it away. This amused her husband, who accused her of being a sentimental old fool. “I’m not sentimental,” she shot back. “I’m realistic. His shoes, socks and underwear have been inside that box for two weeks, and I’m not going to be the one to open it!”
Crux of the Matter
As a young lawyer working on my first big case, I was sitting in Federal District Court watching a prominent attorney question a witness. The attorney was trying, unsuccessfully, to elicit certain information. Finally the judge turned to the witness and asked a question that prompted the appropriate response. “Thank you, your honor,” the attorney said. “How is it that you were able to get to the crux of the matter with one question after I had tried three times?” “Easy,” replied the judge. “I’m not paid by the hour.”
No Power
A co-worker at my office called Tech Support with an improbable story: She said she dropped her mouse and her PC shut down. The tech made the trip to her desk. No question, her computer is off. And when he punches the PC’s power switch to restart it, nothing happens. He asked her where she dropped her mouse. She replied, “Behind the desk.” Sure enough, she had managed to hit the on/off switch on the power strip. The tech told her, “Good shot.”

Wills, Trusts, and More Drafting Your Own Will or Trust
In this article I would like to talk a little about doing your own estate planning. When people ask me if they can do their own estate planning, my simple answer is “yes.” There are many wills probated that were prepared by the decedent without professional assistance. Many of these wills are submitted to the court and the estate is administered without problem. Additionally, there are many trusts prepared without professional assistance. Although the degree of error is often higher with the use of a trust, these can also be prepared and administered without professional assistance and without problems. However, there is also a large portion of these documents (both wills and trusts prepared without professional assistance) that do have problems. Often, when there are problems, the problems are significant. I like to compare estate planning to having a baby. Can someone deliver a baby without a trained and experienced professional? The answer is yes. It was done that way for hundreds and thousands of years. However, is there less likelihood of having serious problems if someone with more training and experience is involved in the process? Again, I believe most would agree that the answer is yes. Like most undertakings,
by Jeffery J. McKenna the more training and experience one has planning an estate the greater likelihood that serious complications can be avoided. In deciding whether to do your own estate planning without professional assistance, I believe the question to be asked is how much time are you willing to devote to understanding the process and how much risk are you comfortable taking regarding the disposition of your estate. In writing this article as a
Attorney Jeff McKenna hiking with his son in Zion National Park
professional involved in estate planning, it is not my desire to “create” work for estate planners. Improper estate planning resulting in complications generates much more work and legal fees than proper estate planning and a subsequent, smooth estate administration. It may be that estate planning can be compared to preventive mechanics. You can pay for the tune ups and oil changes now or you can pay more for the repairs later. However, a significant difference is that it is not you but rather your heirs that pay. 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.

One man was talking to another at the store. He asked, “So where is that boy of yours?” “Josh is in college,” the second man replied. “What’s he taking?” The second man grimaced, “Every cent I have.”
Purchase
One evening a teenage daughter and her mother were out shopping when they stopped to make a purchase. The young girl greeted the cashier with only a “Hi,” then proceeded to dig nervously in her wallet. She was having obvious trouble counting out the correct bills and change. But rather than help, the cashier simply stood and watched while she fumbled and mumbled her way to the correct amount. Finally, the transaction was completed. As they were walking to the car, the teenager turned to her mother and said, “That was my math tutor.”

Easter has come and gone and, as far as I know, there wasn’t even any wind to blow dirt into the potato salad. Of course I wasn’t on the desert but it was nice here in town! Quite a change, but maybe because it came a little early this year! Everyone has been excited about how the Easter Egg Hunt turned out on Saturday. The kids were all excited to have the Fire Engine deliver the Easter Bunny to the city park. A good time was had by all and it was a big success. Good job everybody and thanks to Megan Carlisle and Lori Spencer Porter for spearheading it! Tim and Michelle Marsh Given, daughter of Sharon Dale Marsh, and their family are finally moved into their new home in Herriman, Utah. Last year, in June, they had to cut their vacation short because their home burned down while they were gone. They have had so many problems trying to get their home rebuilt that we are all really happy for them now that they have a house again! Melanie Johnston and girls came from Las Vegas to spend the Easter weekend with Melanie’s parents, Gene and Thais Griffin. The whole family was supposed to be here, but the plans changed and they all went to Salt Lake to see Mark and Tina at the hospital. It was Gene’s and Thais’s 60th wedding anniversary on Sunday, March 31, 2013. Congratulations to them! It was nice that they could include Mark and Tina in the celebration and have the whole family there. Melanie and her
girls were also able to attend the women’s conference while they were in Salt Lake. Tom and Marilyn Jackson were here, from Idaho, last week. From here they went to Las Vegas to celebrate Easter with their daughter Janae and family. They had visited with their son Wayne and his family on the way down here and were popping their buttons they were so proud of him. He has recently been promoted to Shop Supervisor at UDOT’s (Utah Department of Transportation) Central Office over equipment operations. Congratulations, Wayne. Carlyle Shurtz tells of his hiking trip down at the Spring. East of town. He ran into a Robert Davies there who said that was his great grandfather, Don Carlos Shurtz’s home. Carlyle told him that was his great grandfather Shurtz’s home too! It turns out that Robert is a son of Barbara Chestnut Davies, who was a sister to Maralda Porter, who is Marvin Porter’s mother! Trisha Coughlin and her three boys, Las Vegas, spent the weekend here with Trisha’s parents, Pat and Bobbi Coughlin. It was good to see them. Trisha doesn’t make it up here very often. Clint and Shana Porter and family, Cedar City, spent Easter with Carolyn and Vergean Porter. Clint says, “What would Easter be if you couldn’t hike Spooky Gulch and Peekaboo down on the Escalante Desert?” My daughter, Jillyn, her husband Jon and daughter Shaylynn Sorensen, Salina, were here and Jon and Shaylynn also hiked on the desert
but they went to Zebra and the tunnel canyons. The other two kids, Alan and Devyn, went to “Little Sahara Sand Dunes” to ride their dune buggy. (This is one of the answers to the question, “Why do Grandma’s go gray?”) Julie Ford has had her grandson’s here. Sons of her daughter Treeca. They can hardly wait for school to let out in the spring to get to grandma’s house. Ken Steed is home again after quite a long sick spell. Stay well now Ken. The Spring work is rearing it’s green head again! Brent Cottam and Larry Withers are both recovering from surgery. Nancy Porter has also had a turn in the hospital, but is home now. Escalante certainly does it’s share to keep the hospitals running! How thankful we are to have good care. Theresa Banister is recovering from hip surgery. She got in the way of a feisty mare and it knocked her over breaking her hip. Crockett Dumas (after being on the go day and night) went to Cedar City to bring her home after the surgery and coming through Bear Valley he went to sleep, went off the road and totaled their truck and trailer. They were so lucky that they were not injured seriously. They were taken into Panguitch and Ramona Sorensen brought them on home a little later. But, undaunted, Theresa says she will be back to work in 5 weeks! That’s pushing it a little but she is a pretty ambitious little lady. They want to thank everyone for all their help, food and friendship. Crockett says
he hasn’t had to cook one meal! Gary Liles has been here visiting his mom and dad, Jeris and Bonnie Liles. I received a phone call from Ilene Alvey Coffman, Spanish Fork, this past week. She is a daughter of Hode and Ila Alvey. They used to live in the little house belonging to Shannon and Jenifer Steed. She seems to be doing well and is driving into Provo once a week to work a shift in the temple there. She will be helping her sisters and Elna Cottam Creek host the Escalante Ladies Reunion in Richfield this summer and wants to encourage all the younger ladies to make an effort to come this year. Along with the ones who already come every year. I don’t think they have set a definite date yet but they will let us know when they do. The next time you go to church be sure to check out the display of past Stake Presidents. It’s near the Stake President’s Office in the hallway. Vergean and Carolyn Porter have been working on that for a while and it is really nice. If you need help with hearing aids or other medical needs, check in at the senior citizen center on Thursday, April 4th. That’s today! Inquire about the birthday dinner on April 10th while you are there. Their next shopping trip will be to Cedar City on the 12th so you may want to sign up for that too! We would still like to know who your Easter company was, so give me a call. PLEASE!?

FYI PANGUITCH
BIRTHDAYS
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com I hope you had as good an Easter vacation as we did. The Easter Egg hunt on Thursday went really well, with over 300 kids and parents in attendance. Hopefully everyone got their baskets filled with candy and prizes. The Easter Bunny wanted to thank all those that helped to make this annual event, oh so special! The Bunny caught up on her sleep that night with a 12 hour nap. On Saturday we did our annual trek down to the Hurricane car show, they will have to get a bigger place or start limiting the number of cars. There wasn’t room for one more car anywhere, the cars are a real works of art and I just drool over them the whole time. The Dr. Mooney’s passed us on our way through Zions Canyon. After they left the tunnel, they must have a favorite spot to stop for lunch, about a quarter mile west of tunnel they pulled off in a spot that had a full view of the Canyon. In another life time ago, you used to be able to pull off at one of the tunnel windows and eat your lunch there. The travelers that came in the west entrance to the park really had a long wait, the line was about 40 cars backed up, it was a long ways.
Next Friday, April 11th is the Junior Prom. It is always fun to see all the work that goes into decorating the gym, the Students, Parents and Advisors spend the whole week putting this together. It has come a long ways since they used the old parachute for a ceiling. Every year it is totally different and so well done. The Promenade is always special with the entire Junior class in their finest gowns and tuxes. When you come, bring your camera, there will be plenty of Kodak moments. Ms Shawn Caine took her photography class over to the Gem Theater, to do some picture taking of the Museum upstairs. None of the students had ever been in that area, because you have to be sixteen to sit in the lounge area. Ms. Caine wanted to thank the owner who gave them a tour of the theater, very earlier in the morning. It looks like that Western Town is again open for the tourist trade. It will be a motel and a restaurant. I remember when the original owner came to town and announced that he was putting an Inn out there and it would be ready by May, and that was in February. Lo and behold he did it, these where prefab units and they
went together in a real hurry. The buildings have been motels on several occasions and it was last used as a troubled youth school. They are doing it right by putting out lighted signs, that identifies the Inn and restaurant, good luck to them. It could mean some jobs in the future. The new store that is coming to Town will be a Family Dollar store. The gentleman that is putting in this facility owns 5 other Family Dollar stores in Southern Utah. It will be a nice addition to the Town. Good luck to the owners. The College basketball season is coming to an end and it was really March madness this year, with all of the upsets. I doubt that anyone will win anything with their picks. I know that ESPN with all of their millions of entries, after the first two days of the tournament announced that they did not have one entry that was correct. BYU is still alive in the MIT tournament and will be in the semis in New York. One season finished and there is another to take its place, baseball season is underway and it’s the longest season of all, with 165 games and won’t be finished till October.
You need to be thinking about the election in November, for the three empty Council seats. I believe that the applications will be available, June 3rd. If there are more than six applicants there will be a primary. You have a couple of months to think about it, get involved in local policy making. Local government is the only place that you have to have your voice heard. The Regents have raised the tuition on the Colleges and the Universities throughout the state, 5%. UVU and SLCC because of declining enrollment were raised 6%. This makes Snow College even more attractive. The University of Utah tuition runs $6,511 on down to Dixie State at $3,642. Snow is the lowest at $2,830. You can get your first two years of your higher education at Snow, along with a room for a fraction of what you pay at the big schools. Pat is putting in an order for “I Love(heart) Panguitch” T shirts. If she has not called you by Monday call her at 676-2418 if you are interested. Shirts will cost $7.00. Easter is the Holiest of days in the Christian World, for the Promise it brings. Mack O.

Well Best Friends will be around tomorrow and the next day taking care of some of the cats in the Tropic Area. We are glad to see they will be fixed up nicely so that we don’t have so many of them running around homeless. There are many of us in the area that feed the homeless cats and are happy to see they will be healthier now. Best Friends say they will be around a few times in the next few weeks to help us with the over abundance of cats we have. They will also work with pet cats if you contact them. Dee and Janie Pollock want to express their gratitude to everyone who has asked or been concerned about Dee’s daughter, Megan Pollock. She was critically injured in a car accident in Nor. Carolina and Dee flew back to try to spend some time with her before it became worse. She is his youngest daughter and he would appreciate prayers for a Miracle for Megan. The doctors don’t hold out much hope for her and he is hoping for just that. Megan has been attending school at the U. of Arizona Online and was almost finished. Dee our prayers and thoughts are with you and Megan at this time. Gary and Sand Johnson want to express appreciation to Ruby’s Inn for hosting their 16th annual family reunion for the Lifferth family. 150 people were in attendance! Sandy enjoyed eight of her siblings, along with their families. Also in attendance were all of the Johnson daughters and their families: Hunter & Rachel Sheedy, Jed & Rebecca Albrecht, Brady & Ruth Carter, Brady & Sarah Bradshaw and Nathan & Esther Rigby. There were plenty of activities to keep everyone busy, swimming, games, hiking, the Newlywed Game , talent show, family history hour, and a plethora of food! On Sunday the attendance at the Henrieville Ward was increased dramatically when most of the family members attended church there. The Lifferths and Johnson appreciate the kind hospitality of the Henrieville Ward members for letting us invade their meetings. Congratulations to the Kelton Neilson’s on having their beautiful little boy blessed today. The name they gave him is Riggen Zeke Neil-
son and he is so cute. There was a large circle around this little boy as his father blessed him and gave him a name. Grandparents are Zeke and KayeLynn Neilson with great grandparents in Henrieville being Doyle and Mary Lou Neilson. There were a lot of visitors in all the churches today as we celebrated Easter. Some I noticed in Tropic were Jim and Mikki Shakespear, Brian and Shelly Clement, Kay Lynn Shakespear, Birch and Kelly Moore, Chad and Marci Nell and Leslie Feltner and they all brought their families with them. I am sure there were others but I just did not see everyone. Welcome home anytime because we love to see you all again. The Family History Director, Shauna Talbot, announced today that they will be starting a new training class on some of the new things out their to help you find your ancestors including the “Fan”. Everyone is welcome to come to the Library and work on your research for your ancestors. Everyone. The new classes will be on Wednesday evenings from 6:00 to 8:00 P.M. Come and join in the fun. Congratulations to Jordan Shakespeare who was advanced to a Priest. He is the son of the late Gaylynn Shakespeare and the grandson of Tom and Gay Shakespeare of Cannonville. Larry and Alma Fletcher and President Klin Chynoweth were the speakers in Cannonville today. Berkley and Susan Thompson spoke in Tropic. The choir sang two beautiful Easter songs. Alma and Anita Fletcher had granddaughters Nisha and Tonya Fletcher here for a three day visit over their spring break from school. They are the daughters of Michael and Rimi Feltner of Parowan. Michael came over and spent some time also. They all went hDavid, Debbie and Joshua Jensen visited with Arthur and me over the Easter weekend. We had a great time and hated to see them leave and go home. SOME MORE TROPIC TOWN NEWS...The Town Burn Pit is there for your use. Please remember that it is only for AGRICULTURE debris.

Teens Rescued in Joint Operation PAGE, AZ – On the evening of March 19, 2013 a group of local juveniles went on a hike in the Wahweap Creek Area. While attempting to traverse a slot canyon, a 16-year old female and a 17year old male fell an unknown distance into a 200 foot deep slot canyon. Other members of the hiking party left and called for assistance. Kane County Sheriff’s Office, Kane County Search and Rescue, Big Water Fire Department, Big Water Marshal and the National Park Service responded. A technical extrication was performed under a Unified Command System during the early morning hours of March 20, 2013. The rescue was a great example of collaboration between all agencies involved. Numerous anchors were placed in the sandstone and rescuers were lowered by rope into the bottom of the canyon to raise the two hikers to safety. The female hiker sustained minor injuries and the male hiker was uninjured. Remember to always be prepared and have the appropriate equipment while hiking in the canyons of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. —National Park Service Glen Canyon N.R.A

Utah Adds Back All Jobs Lost From Recession SALT LAKE CITY Utah's encouraging economic indicators continue to be some of the best in the nation. With the release of February's employment data, Utah's job growth surged upward to 4%, more than 2.5 times higher than the national rate of 1.5%. Utah's unemployment rate also dropped to 5.2% from its previous 5.4%. Governor Gary R. Herbert issued the following statement: Utah has added back all the jobs lost during the recession, and our economy is growing faster than historical norms. Though we still face some real challenges, especially on the national scene, we can definitely say Utah is no longer in a state of recovery-we are firmly on the road to prosperity. Juliette Tennert, Chief Economist for Governor Herbert, said Utah has effectively recovered from the recession. "Based on the job count, Utah has recovered from the recession, and we are still making strides in the unemployment situation," Tennert said. —Utah.gov

Practical Money Matters
Are Yor Parents Spending Your Inheritance? Most people who grew up during the Great Depression and World War II learned to scrimp and save as a matter of necessity. Many also gained financial security during subsequent decades when pension plans were more common, homeownership became the norm and government programs like Social Security and Medicare expanded. For a time, it seemed their Baby Boomer children stood to inherit amounts unheard of for previous generations. However, many economic factors have taken their toll on seniors’ nest eggs in recent years. Thus, if you were counting on a sizeable inheritance to help finance your own retirement, you may want to rethink that strategy. Here are several reasons why many seniors are revising their estate distribution plans: Most people who invested heavily in the stock market during the Great Recession watched helplessly as their accounts lost significant value. Although the market has mostly recovered, many people – especially those in or approaching retirement – stashed their remaining balances in safer investments earning very low interest, worried the market might plunge further. Many likely will have to draw on their account principal to make ends meet, thereby depleting their savings (and estates) much more rapidly than planned.
by Jason Alderman Many seniors expected their home’s equity would help fund retirement. But after the housing market crashed, they instead found its value drastically reduced. Fortunately, the housing market has begun to recover. But many tapped-out seniors have turned to reverse mortgages and home equity loans to draw on their home’s equity to cover living expenses, thereby lessening their estate’s future value. As average life spans increase, so does the period we’ll need to survive on our retirement savings. A 65-yearold man today will live until 83 on average; for women it jumps to 85. Many people never imagined their savings would have to last that long and didn’t plan accordingly. Even if they buy Medicare prescription drug and Medigap coverage, seniors, like everyone else, spend an ever-increasing percentage of their income on medical care. Such costs usually far outpace benefit cost-of-living increases and interest earned on investments. Baby Boomers have begun tapping Social Security and Medicare benefits; and far fewer younger workers now fund those programs, so it’s possible that benefits will decrease, premiums will rise or taxes will increase – or a combination of all three; all options would strain fixed incomes. When the market was
booming, many people retired early, assuming they could afford to bridge the gap before receiving Social Security and Medicare. But plummeting home equity and reduced 401(k) balances have forced many retirees to aggressively withdraw from savings, trim expenses or even return to work. Many seniors help their children and grandchildren pay for high-ticket expenses like home down payments and college. Although such gifts reduce the eventual value of their estate, there are certain tax advantages (lower estate taxes, state tax deductions for 529 Plan contributions, etc.). If you’re the recipient, don’t take such assistance as license to take on additional debt. Unless they’ve purchased comprehensive long-term care insurance, your parents will likely burn through most of their savings should they ever require assisted living. And keep in mind that Medicaid will only pay for a nursing home once they’ve exhausted most of their assets. Bottom line: With seniors facing increasing financial challenges, don’t depend on an inheritance to provide your financial security. Jason Alderman directs Visa’s financial education programs.

“Mélange” Opens in Alice Merrill Horne Gallery SALT LAKE CITY Utah Arts & Museums announces the opening of the exhibition “Mélange” in the Alice Merrill Horne Gallery, located inside the Glendinning Mansion. The show runs from April 5 to June 14, 2013, and gallery hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. The Glendinning Mansion is located at 617 E. South Temple in Salt Lake City. “This is an exhibition that presents a snapshot of work from the State of Utah Fine Art Collection,” noted Utah Arts & Museums Acting Director Lynnette Hiskey. “It explores the curious, the legendary, the unknown, and the stories
Images from the “Melange” exhibition. Above: Francis L. Horspool, “Wells Fargo State Station, River Bed, Utah,” oil on panel, 1938 Right: Nancy Hawkes, “Groceries,” textile, ca. 1980s
behind an eclectic variety of works from our collection.” When brought together, the range of paintings, prints, sculptures, and mixed media works, and their wide focus of subject — goblins, political figures, artistic strife, the everyday, metaphorical monsters, and curious reproductions — expose the varied and thorough assortment and conglomeration (the mélange) of works included in the 114 years of the Fine Art Collection’s history. Featured artists include Francis L Horspool, Frank McEntire, Carole Doubek, Roscoe A. Grover, Boyd Reese, and Rose Howard Salisbury, among others.
Utah’s state-owned art collection began in 1899 under the leadership of Alice Merrill Horne, who ran for office on a platform of support for the arts. Once elected to the House of Representatives, she sponsored a bill to create a state arts organization and to establish a state collection of artwork. Thanks to the efforts of the Collection Acquisition Committee and generous donations from patrons and artists, the Utah State Fine Art Collection purchases and acquires new artwork by Utah artists every year. —Utah Arts & Museums
