Hallows Named Utah Technology Teacher of the Year
BICKNELL - Nominated by Wayne School District Superintendent Burke Torgerson and Technology Coordinator Jordan Crane, Wayne Middle School Teacher Mrs. Flora Hallows received the Utah Technology Teacher of The Year award on March 8, 2013 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Mrs. Hallows has been instrumental in bringing the latest technologies into Wayne School District and the classroom for students of Wayne Middle School. Spending hours of extra time and always looking for the best way to advance technology in the classroom, Mrs. Hallows has also been instrumental in the 1 to 1 initiative to provide an iPad for every student. She has implemented the Canvas program for students and teachers. This program works by putting all homework assignments on the iPad Canvas program. Students access the program, complete their assignments and then submit them on their iPad back to their teacher. Mrs. Hallows has been a member of the Utah Wayne Middle School Teacher Flora Mentor Academy this year, has applied for several Hallows. grants, and she has provided one on one technology training for our teachers. Employed by Wayne School District since 1999, Mrs.Hallows taught at the Hanksville Elementary school and then transfered to the Wayne Middle School. Mrs. Hallows is married to Gil Hallows, has 5 children and 7 grandchildren and resides in Loa, Utah. Congratulations to Mrs. Hallows from the Wayne Middle School and Wayne School District. —Mary Bray
Senator Hatch's Staff Tour Kazan Clinic
Intermountain Health Care’s Bill Barnes & Suzie Draper, Kazan Clinic’s Sheri Woolsey, Senator Hatch Staff Kimberly Brandt and Hayden Rhudy, and Kazan Clinic’s Judy Brooks ESCALANTE - Hayden Rhudy, Senior Health Policy Advisor to Utah Senator Orrin Hatch, and Kimberly Brandt, Chief Oversight Council Minority Staff for the Senate Finance Committee of which Senator Hatch is a ranking member, were in Escalante March 29th to tour its Kazan Medical Clinic. Their visit was part of a state-wide rural healthcare tour led by Intermountain Healthcare Primary Children’s Hospital Director of Government Relations Bill Barnes, to show how rural health clinics function and the
importance of federal funding of critical rural health services. Kazan Clinic’s Jolene Pollock, Sheri Woolsey and Judith Brooks were also on hand to help facilitate the tour. Barnes says the Kazan Clinic is a great example of what can be accomplished with a tremendous amount of commitment and hard work: “It was wonderful for Senator Hatch’s staff to see in action the dedication that rural clinics like Kazan have to the health and well-being of the communities they serve. As I work with the Hatch office

Loa Builders Delivers LOA – When it comes to a building or remodel project, here’s one scenario of how it happens: You’re the owner of your first home in Garfield or Wayne county, and inevitably, your first home improvement project crops up. You are not a contractor but you have an idea of what it is you need, though you are not exactly certain the folks at the store will understand what it is you need. You have your list, perhaps with instructions from a friend or spouse to put in a call to Loa Builders to acquire the needed materials for your project. A small pit of dread rises up in your stomach, as you look at the list and try to figure out what to order. You wonder, “What if they don’t have the eight inch or six inch bolts,” or anything else on your list. You make the call, and after two or three rings, “Hi, this is VeeAnn,” says the voice on the other end of the phone. “Building materials” is not your language, and you’re pretty sure you’re going to sound like an idiot. She continues, “May I help you?” You begin your list and she confirms that yes they have 8” hex headed bolts in sufficient supply to fill your order. You feel relief. The next item is another fastener and she is unfamiliar with your description and you do not have a catalog number to give to her. You
panic! You ask yourself, “Will I have to drive to Cedar City or Richfield, after all? Oh no!” VeeAnn is fast on your order, but she is also patient. She fires off a couple of questions that are over your head, and then, through a deft process of providing options which lead to eliminations and finally choices, she quickly transforms your ignorance into knowledge. Before you know it your order is placed, and it actually turned out to be a pleasant experience. “Wow,” you think to yourself, “That lady on the phone knows what she’s doing.” Two days later, you discover your items in a neat pile at the end of your driveway. Contrary to all other evidence related to your current remodel job, here’s evidence that there might just be order in the universe. Mitchell and VeeAnn Pace were a young family when they bought Loa Builders in 1984. Mitchell had worked in construction for a dozen or so years, which VeeAnn says took him away from the family a lot--he was often gone 6 days a week. When the previous owner, Carl Hutchings, put Loa Builders up for sale—which was small but already something of a local institution--they saw it as an opportunity. In the intervening 29 years, they have raised their three boys, Greg, Travis and Michael, in the business, and it is a full-on, professionally run, family-owned operation. “It’s definitely a family thing,” says VeeAnn. “Everybody has the things they’re strong at, their fortes. Greg is on the phone all the time, learning about new products and materials.” “I bring lunch and treats,” she says. Sure enough, as if on queue, Mitchell returns from a delivery to Escalante, and she points him towards his lunch. When asked to explain how she developed her customer service skills, VeeAnn explains, “Well of course Mitchell was already in construction, but a big plus was right before we bought this business we built our own home. So we had a little more ‘hands on’ of

what a homeowner or builder is going through. And each of our kids has built their own homes. One of the big plusses is they’ve all had a lot of hands-on experience. And also, we are very family oriented-- I think those are our strengths. That, and when you tell people you’re going to do something you’ve got to follow through.” Loa Builders grew from a small space across from where they are now on Loa’s Main Street. Ten years ago, they moved to their current location, providing a full service hardware store, lumber yard, building materials and construction deliveries. Early on, even prior to moving to their expanded location, they recognized the need to provide full-service hardware and supplies to customers and signed on with a larger distributor, DoItBest. “As a small independent store your biggest challenge is buying power,” says VeeAnn. “And also, if we don’t have what the people want and need here they will go somewhere else.” VeeAnn says when they first signed on with DoItBest, their rep was concerned about their minimum when he saw their little store. “But we eased their minds when we met our minimum right away.” Loa Builders has grown to nine employees, including the five family members, and their business actively engages in the community, in particular with sports sponsorships and coaching, as well as being members of the fire department and EMTs. “It’s fun to see little kids running around with little Loa Builders shirts on,” says VeeAnn. For eleven years, Loa Builders has also offered an annual vocational scholarship to graduates of Wayne High School who want to further their education in the trades. The Pace family is planning for expansion, most immediately with their plan to move their tool and equipment rental business across the street to their old location. “Businesses are either expanding or going down and we want to

How is Southern Utah’s Wildlife Doing?
As a sportsman from Garfield County, I am always impressed with Norman Mckee’s articles about wildlife in Utah. I commend him for his years of dedication to this cause. However, after reading last month’s article about the annual meeting of the Wildlife Society, lots of questions were left unanswered. Primarily, what is the status of our wildlife? What has GPS tracking revealed? Consensus among fellow sportsmen indicate the numbers of deer and elk are way down, and the mountain lion, bear, coyote and predator populations are way up! It is wonderful that the meeting was held in Garfield County. Hopefully, the article was not editorialized; but, was seeing an extensive photo display, and being awe-struck at the museum the highlights of the conference? Tell us about the technical sessions. What topics were covered? How does the County benefit from being in the Great Western Flyway? Are GMOs (Genetically modified organisms) out there? Anyone developing a way to stop chipmunks and rats from carrying bubonic plague, so our kids are safer at Bryce Canyon? Is there agency coLoa Builders

be on the expansion side, says VeeAnn. “I think people are really starting to realize what an asset the local businesses are, that the money stays in the community.” Aside from the homeowner’s scenario, the other side of the coin is how professional builders and contractors view Loa Builders. Their words are as follows: Kevin New Construction: “They are great to work with as they meet the community needs and they have extremely fair prices.” Paul Brown Construction: “Loa Builders offers great service. They are like a family to the community. If a product is made and you need it they can get it. Also, their prices are very competitive.” Tyler Torgerson Construction: “They are very reliable, knowledgeable and helpful. We are very lucky to have them in our community.” Mark Austin Designer Builder: “Escalante and Boul-
operation to provide troughs? Seeding more edible species like clover, crested wheat, edible huckleberries, would benefit hikers, too. How did the experiment to transplant 9,000 beavers to Boulder Mountain go? Any new technology for keeping bears and cougars out of campgrounds and towns? (Thankfully, there haven’t been 30 episodes as were reported in Escalante and Boulder in April 1996). What effects on wildlife management resulted from raising fees for fishing and hunting licenses and closing Wayne County and Mammoth Creek fish hatcheries? Panguitch Lake was poisoned to improve catchable fish; are the numbers back up? I’m looking forward to seeing the results of the satellite GPS tracking sage grouse, as well—hopefully, they won’t end up in some coyotes’ stomach! “The wealth of this detailed information on animal movements and use of available habits is a critical component in effective wildlife management,” How do wildlife experts feel about the lack of timber harvesting in our area? Any new innovative ways to control bark beetle? In 1990, Garfield County
listed 14 endangered animals and seven endangered plant species, how many are there now? Did Utah get it straightened out that the Mexican Spotted Owl was found in Mexico, the Colorado Squaw Fish in Colorado, etc? Of course, we do not want an endangered Utah Sage Grouse! Which wildlife species are affected by the little Gierisch mallow that Washington County is seeking comments on? Did anyone discuss predator management after 8 new species of dinosaurs were found in Garfield County in 2010? How is the bounty on coyotes working out? Any figures about the growth and impact on the Woundfin minnow from flushing the Glen Canyon Dam? Perhaps, more interesting topics were covered. So the question remains, “How was Southern Utah Wildlife improved? And since, “most of the sessions were devoted to technical reports” I’m looking forward to more articles and more answers. You are right, “The wildlife resource of Utah is critical to our lifestyle, culture and economy...” The newspaper is an effective way to inform us. Tom Jackson, Escalante
der are lucky to have Loa Builders deliver on this side of the mountain. Consider driving to pick up materials or paying delivery prices from Cedar City. Personally, I would rather not spend a dollar to save a dime. The math is simple, they are giving us an incredibly a good deal.” Reed Munson Construction: It’s been great working with Mitch and VeeAnn during the past 20 years. They’ve been responsive to my needs and requests and have been honest in all their dealings. We appreciate having them partner with us in getting our projects done in a timely manner with quality products. It has been exciting to watch them grow as they’ve found new ways to meet the needs of the surrounding communities.” Customers in Wayne County, and Boulder and Escalante in Garfield County, can either call Loa Builders directly to place orders, or browse the DoItBest site online to look for materials. Delivery of construction materials to Wayne
County is free, and is only $10 to Boulder and the outskirts of Boulder, and $15 to Escalante. Which is considerably less than the gas it costs to drive to either Cedar City or Richfield. Loa Builders is located at 138 N. Main St., Loa, Tel. 8362751. —Insider Report

Color Country Fire Managers Announce 2013 Schedule of Prescribed Burns ST. GEORGE – Color Country interagency fire managers have announced plans to ignite several prescribed burns in southwestern Utah and northwestern Arizona this year. These burns will be managed by various federal and state agencies including the Bureau of Land Management, the US Forest Service, the National Park Service and the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands. The following prescribed burns are planned for this year but will only occur if forecasted weather conditions are favorable and adequate resources are available. Portions of some of these burns may have already been completed or are multi-year projects.

Prescribed fire projects are conducted in a manner consistent with land and resource management plans, public health considerations (smoke issues) and approved prescribed fire plans. Color Country Interagency Fire Management is an organization of fire management officials in southwestern Utah and northwestern Arizona (the Arizona Strip) who promote safe and effective fire management through interagency cooperation. Since many wildfires and prescribed fires are of a multi-jurisdictional nature, interagency cooperation provides an ideal background for cohesive ecological, social, political and economical considerations for land management. It is also time to begin spring cleaning projects to reduce wildfire risks to your property.

February 15, 2015
Dear County Commissioner:
I am writing to formally inform you of my intention to develop federal legislation to tackle many of the issues that have plagued public land management in Utah for decades. Any county in Utah that is interested in participating in this process is welcome. Likewise, I will respect any county that does not wish to not participate in the process. I assure you that my legislation will involve your county only with your blessing and only on terms with which you are comfortable. I fully understand efforts like this have been attempted before, and I realize why many of you may feel skeptical about federal lands legislation. A number of my predecessors in Congress have, in good-faith, started down this same path. Most of those efforts failed and so may this. Since many of these previous efforts did not succeed, I am not going to follow the same pattern of previous attempts. In order for this effort to work, we need to think differently, and approach these issues in a way that hasn’t been attempted before. After observing and participating in the public lands debate for many years, I believe we are on the cusp of a paradigm shift. We are entering a new era of public lands management. There is a growing consensus that a more reasonable, balanced use of the public lands can be achieved in Utah. For over a century, Utahn’s have sought realignment in the federal/state management of Utah’s public lands. While virtually everyone agrees that Utah’s public lands are valuable and a distinguishing feature of our great state, unsettled land-use designations have fueled decades of distrust and acrimony. Parties on both sides of the debate recognize that all would benefit if some of these issues could, once and for all, be resolved. Because of this, I believe we have a unique window of opportunity to end the gridlock and bring resolution to some of the most challenging land disputes in the state. The time has come for a sensible reassessment of land management and ownership patterns in Utah. The key difference between today’s effort and those of the past is that I believe that there is a growing consensus that comprehensive land bills can be a powerful vehicle to get other things done. In other words, wilderness, or other land designations, can act as a currency. If wilderness is designated in your county, you should receive some specific, tangible, benefit for it. This benefit could be the upgrade and control over one or many roads, designation of zones for energy, timber and other resource development, lands transferred to county control for a new park or airport, or a new dedicated revenue stream to the county generated by swapping school trust lands in your county into more energy rich lands in other counties. In order for this new approach to work, you will also have to think differently. If we merely go back to the same proposals, the same lands as have been offered before, we will meet the same result. Conservation advocates will not achieve what they want, but county priorities will also remain unfulfilled. If I am correct and wilderness really can be conceived of as a currency, the more land we’re willing to designate as wilderness, the more we’re able to purchase with that currency. I realize that this decades-long fight has ingrained in many local officials an inherent skepticism, even hostility towards restrictive federal land designations. I share that skepticism. But if we want to bring greater certainty to your county, if we want to end the debate, if we want to change the paradigm of management within your county, we will need to approach wilderness differently. Instead of instinctively pushing for as little wilderness as possible, I would hope you would approach it this time with a different mindset. The more we’re willing to designate, the more we can expect on the other side of the ledger. We will have to give to get. If we give little, we will get little. Much can be gained if we’re willing to look hard and make serious concessions. To reach consensus on public lands issues, all stakeholders must be at the table. Likewise, everyone must be willing to give something up. There is no other way to reach a deal. If you choose to participate in this process, I ask that your county consider sharing with my office your thoughts and ideas about what public land designations, including but not limited to wilderness, you believe best suit your county. Your recommendations should not be limited to land designations: additional legislative proposals or priorities you would like to see addressed in the prospective bill may also be included. Given the significant scope of this process, it would be helpful if each individual recommendation that is submitted, whether it is wilderness or some other designation, had a unique overall ranking to help my office understand your priorities. I must also add, that all initial submissions and rankings will remain confidential. My goal in all this is threefold: 1) to bring greater land management certainty to the counties who seek it 2) to provide counties with tangible benefits in exchange for a willingness to designate lands within their border as wilderness, and 3) to resolve land designations where a consensus can be reached. Let me repeat: This will be a local, bottom-up, stakeholder driven process. I will do my utmost best to represent your interests in Washington, and to not represent Washington’s interests to you. If you wish to be a part of this effort, please let me know. Once we’ve completed this process and have worked out a worthy land proposal, and that proposal has broad support by affected Utahns, then I’ll do what I can to push this plan through Congress. I look forward to working with you as we tackle this critically important endeavor. If you choose to participate, I ask that you please provide your input and suggestions for this process via email to Fred Ferguson in my Washington, D.C. office (Fred.Ferguson@mail.house.gov) no later than March 15, 2013. Sincerely,
Rob Bishop Member of Congress

Wrestling & Track Meets
Garfield Memorial Hospital
Saturday the young wrestlers came to the Triple C Arena for a youth tournament. There were 559 contestants taking part. Panguitch’s youth had a banner day, with 59 signed up and 34 of them placing. Panguitch score of 499 was 300 ahead of Milford’s 197. The tournament was for 1-A – 3-A and the Cats finished third over all to Canyon View and Cedar City and ahead of all the 2- A schools. The Bob Cats wrestling program is looking good for some years to come. Coaches Matt Houston and Cory Owens and their helpers are making this a fun sport for these kids. This week’s track meet was held out in Delta and the Cats had some really good times posted. They qualified many individuals for state. Those placing in the top 4 were: Whittni Orton 1st in the 3200 m and 1600 m, breaking the school 1600 m record at 5:22. Darri Frandsen 4th Discus Chesney Campbell 4th high jump Kelden Norris 4th 300 M hurdles Tyce Barney 3rd discus, 3rd Javelin, and 4th high jump. Girls Medley Relay 2nd McKayla Heaton, Whittni Orton, Chesney Campbell, Dari Frandsen. We finally have our first 1-A meet this Saturday in Milford, however with the Junior Prom the night before, it’s not known how many will show up. Next Wednesday the meet will be here and we should be up to full force team on that day. The field events will start at 3:00 and the races will be held at 4:00. The date will be the 17th and Coach Norris can use plenty of help with the judging, so set that date aside and join the fun.

The Students’ “Say” by McKenna Finch
Changes at Panguitch High School
As many of you know there have been many new changes for not only Panguitch High School, but also the whole district this year. One of the biggest changes has been the different scheduling at Panguitch High. This year instead of continuing with our traditional seven period class days, we switch to having five classes on “A” days and five different classes on “B” days. This new scheduling has allowed the students to take many more classes that they normally wouldn’t be able to take. Most students have really enjoyed taking classes that they normally wouldn’t be able to fit into their schedules. However, this system also has teachers trying to cover all their curriculum in just two or three 70 minute class periods, a week. I think that this system has created greater opportunities for students and greater stress for teachers. There have also been many classes broadcast throughout Garfield County School District. Broadcast classes are classes that are offered at one high school in the district but not another, so they have these teachers teach to not only their own class but also to classes in BVHS, PHS, and EHS. The teachers of these classes must send any documents through the inter-school mail system we have set up, or become highly proficient in putting all of their assignments online and making themselves available at odd hours! I think that these teachers have to put up with double, and sometimes even triple, questions, comments and that every single teacher who has done or is doing a broadcast class should be applauded. The Ednet program at Panguitch High School is also one of my favorite! Students are able to graduate with many college credits which makes it much easier (and not to mention cheaper) when they go to college. There have also been many other changes at PHS and there will also be more changes in the coming year. Thanks to all the teachers who have gone out of their way to ensure that the broadcasted classes and new scheduling was a success. McKenna Finch is a senior a Panguitch High School.

Wayne High FFA Presents ‘Ag in the Classroom’ Spring Break over, but it is not quite business as usual at Loa Elementary. Mrs. Libby Torgerson’s 3rd grade class as well as the entire school enjoyed a visit from the Mrs. Jessica Grundy and the WHS FFA on Wednesday, April 3. In the morning the FFA students had set up a petting zoo; students were able to go and learn about the different farm animals and pet them. “Even this ‘city girl’ learned a lot about the animals!” stated Mrs. Torgerson. After lunch the third graders learned about dairy cows and were given the opportunity to turn cream into butter which they ate on crackers. “They sure loved that! We really enjoyed the lessons we learned from the FFA.” said Mrs. Torgerson. Time for the Spring Festival is steadily creeping upon us, Mrs. Torgerson’s and Mrs. Stephanie William’s 3rd grade classes are working really hard to learn their songs and dance. “They have really fun music,” said Mrs. Torgerson, “the students are getting excited!” An email has been sent to parents regarding each students costume assignments, but just in case here is what your students need to wear… • Kindergarten- Sunday best

Every1Counts You’re Worth it No Matter What By Cynthia Kimball A friend called upset after she had to suddenly put her dog down. She was in shock now just realizing that he followed her everywhere. “We were with each other almost 24/7,” she wept. Another one’s trying to reclaim her life’s savings after a man she was engaged to marry, after five years, and who she thought truly loved her, looking back, really was merely working to keep her drunk while she signed away her life savings to him. One more’s wondering why a man can’t be loyal to one woman, stop playing games and not let his children rule his life. Wondering that until they respect him, they will never respect her or anyone he loves. Another one’s wondering why a relative won’t pay her the money he owes her. One more is struggling with her weight. She feels she has the exercise part down pat, but not the eating just yet. One’s daughter has gone from striper to escort to a meth addiction. One friend wants to learn how to read scriptures, but says, “I just need a desire.” One more feels she worries too much what others thinks of her; thus, it impacts her self-esteem. And another’s suffering from depression saying, “I don’t have the faith, I really don’t have the faith, you see what I’ve kind of, I’m not angry at God, I’m just, I really, my faith is in the toilet, you
know, I’ll tell you that, that’s the truth, but, I’ve got to somehow realize that that gift was a gift from God, too, you telling me you are worth it.” And that’s the point of today’s column: You’re worth it. No matter what. I heard church leader, Richard G. Scott recently say, “Recognize the good in others, not their stains.” And I believe that’s true, but I also believe that we need to, “Recognize the good in ourselves and not our stains.” Point blank, recognize your good, not your stains. And do you really even have any stains? If you asked me, I would tell you, “Absolutely not.” To me, no one has stains. We only have them because some else likely told us we did. So, forget them and focus on all the things that you do good and right. Mother Teresa said, “People are often unreasonable and selfcentered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway” (Goodreads Inc, 2013).
To each of my friends I say, “Keep doing. Keep enduring. Keep trying and going forward. Keep telling yourself that you deserve the best. Don’t settle for average or fine. Tell yourself that you and your situation are going to be more than okay. Focus on what you’re doing right. Focus on the gifts and talents you have even if you find just one. Celebrate every time you do something right. Have faith not fear. Be an ultimate forgiver. Spread positive gossip. Don’t be afraid to be you. Realize that mistakes make you. Forgive yourself. Love regardless. Be unique. Notice people. Become divine. Be your own coach saying, especially anytime you have doubt, “You can do this, you are doing this, you will do this.” And, “You’re beautiful. You were created to do great things. Walk tall.” And as Dale Carnegie has said, “Act enthusiastic and you’ll be enthusiastic” (replace enthusiastic with as many positive words as you can think of and recite over and over and over again). Have a skip in your gate. Focus on finishing. Be bold. Listen to the conductor who is God. Listen to Him more than you listen to man (including yourself). After all, He will always tell you, “You’re worth it no matter what.” Cynthia Kimball is a speaker and trainer through her company Every1Counts, LLC, and a doctoral student in Workforce Education Leadership.

tHe lAuGhiNg pOiNt!! Diet Tips
Traffic Court
Recently in Traffic Court, a man who received an expensive parking ticket, testified that a uniformed Policeman had given his OK for the man to park there. The Judge asked the man if he would recognize the Officer if he ever saw him again, and the man replied that he would. The Judge then said, “Good. When you see the Officer again, tell him he owes you 257 dollars. Next...”
Accuracy!
There was a knock at the door. It was a small boy, about six years old. Something of his had found its way into my garage, he said, and he wanted it back. Upon opening the garage door, I noticed two additions: a baseball and a broken window sporting a baseball-sized hole. “How do you suppose this ball got in here?” I asked the boy. Taking one look at the ball, one look at the window, and one look at me, the boy exclaimed, “Wow! I must have thrown it right through that hole!”
My sisters and I have weight problems and are always sharing diet tips. One day my oldest sister was showing us a low-fat cookbook and pointed out a chicken dish she had tried the night before. Reading the ingredients, I commented, “It looks like it would taste really bland.” “It did,” she replied, “until I added cheese and sour cream.”
Tickets
A police officer friend of ours had stopped at the local cafe for coffee and was getting ready to leave when I spotted him. “Go out and get’em!” I said. “I suppose everyone gets a ticket today?” “I don’t really give out many tickets,” he said seriously. “Oh come on,” I teased, “you’d give your own mother a ticket.” “No, my mother never drove a car,” he said, still serious. Then a grin spread over his face. “I did catch her jaywalking once.” he said, “and I issued her a warning. But that’s all.”
Need to Relax
DJill wanted to convince Susan, a continually harried friend, that she needed to find ways to relax. She invited her to dinner and, while she was busy cooking, Susan agreed to watch her old videotape on stress management and relaxation techniques. Fifteen minutes later, she came into the kitchen and handed Jill the tape. “It was good,” she said, “but I don’t need it.” “But it’s a 70-minute video,” Jill replied. “You couldn’t have watched the whole thing.” “Yes, I did,” Susan assured her. “I put it on fast-forward.”

Wills, Trusts, and More
Death Can Complicate Title to Assets You or someone you know may own unmarketable assets as a result of the death of a previous owner. The asset may be real estate, stock in a corporation or some other asset. The title is unmarketable because the property is in the name of the deceased individual. Many times when someone dies owning property in his or her name, the surviving family members do not take the necessary steps to clear title to the property. Although this is common, it can create future problems. If a parent, grandparent or some other ancestor died with real estate, stock or other assets in just his or her name and no probate proceeding was commenced, the assets are likely still in that person’s name and presently unmarketable. The assets cannot be sold or transferred because title is in the name of the deceased. If someone dies with a will, the will states who is to serve as personal representative of the deceased. If there is no will, the intestate statute of the state where the property is located specifies the priority for who is to serve as personal representative. Once someone is appointed personal representative, the person appointed has authority to sell or transfer assets of the deceased. However, in Utah, if the probate proceeding is not commenced within three years
by Jeffery J. McKenna after someone’s death, a personal representative cannot be appointed. In these situations, a legal action to determine the heirs of the deceased must be commenced. Although a determination of heirs is usually a more involved process then a probate proceeding, it is an effective way to clear title to otherwise unmarketable assets. Many families know of assets within their family that were owned by a family member that died more than three years ago.
Attorney Jeff McKenna hiking with his son in Zion National Park
Often, the family does not know what to do about the assets. In some situations, the assets may have significantly increased in value. Family members are often relieved to know there is a process to clear title. Determining the heirs of a deceased individual usually involves several steps. Although the process can be involved, it rarely gets easier with the passage of time. Fortunately, with a little effort and sometimes a brief genealogical review to determine the heirs of a deceased property owner, property that is presently unmarketable can once again be sold or transferred. 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.

A-Hiking We Will Go
Last summer, my husband, took me camping for the first time. At every opportunity, he passed along outdoor-survival lore. One day we got lost hiking in the deep woods. He tried the usual tactics to determine direction -- moss on the trees (there was none), direction of the sun (it was an overcast day), etc., etc. Just as I was beginning to panic, he spotted a small cabin off in the distance. He pulled out his binoculars, studied the cabin, turned and led us right back to our camp. “That was terrific,” I said. “How did you do it?” “Simple,” he replied. “In this part of the country all the TV satellite dishes point south.”

The water is back in the Torrey canal and all is good in the world. In what has been a yearly event since the dawn of time Jed Pace and his crew in waste high rubber boots, adequately armed with rakes and shovels, raced to clear the ditch of debris ahead of the free flowing elixir of life diverted from the Fremont river near the Boys Ranch and Bicknell Bottoms. Below the Boys ranch some of the Fremont river trout that did not get the yearly water diversion memo were left floundering in inches of water, and search and rescue operations had to be immediately implemented. Almost as devastating as the fish rescue operation was just as many if not more Fremont river trout were left unexpectedly exposed and homeless and searching for new hideouts from the spring anglers with their new and improved Cabela’s fishing gear they received at Christmas. In retrospect Torrey Town is still recuperating and reeling from Easter weekend. Not to be insensitive about the celestial subject of Easter, but talk about a resurrection from the dead. After a long and silent winter in Torrey, Easter weekend was like a well-advertised Christmas sale at Wal-Mart and there were so many camping outfits hauling new ATV’s that you would have thought Jorgenson’s Honda in Richfield had been recently robbed. Also Easter weekend at Caineville’s Swing Arm City looked like something from a futuristic Mel Gibson movie, if you weren’t wearing a painted helmet with flames on it and full body protective gear you were out of place and a prime target. Just as important as the returning water in the Torrey Canal are all the migrating birds that have returned to Torrey that like to sing as loud
as they can early in the morning. And like the homeless Fremont river fish having to search for new hideouts from anglers, Torrey area residents are having to find new parking spots for their outfits to avoid being a bird target, and it is very easy to see who in town has the most trees. Response to fire related calls have been a regular occurrence in the past week. Loa, Lyman and Bicknell Fire Departments have been recently dispatched to deal with “out of control” ditch cleaning efforts. Fire is unpredictable and there is a lot to be said about the statement that a situation “can spread like a wild fire.” Every community in Wayne County has welltrained and certified individuals that as a community service volunteer their valuable time to combat fires. As a community courtesy before putting a match to a pile of brush, or propane torch to a weed infested ditch, alert your local fire department. If you don’t someone else will; act responsibly. Wayne County has various levels of Emergency response training constantly available, contact Wayne County Emergency Services Director Jeri Johnson P.O. Box 157 Loa UT 84747 jeri3287@gmail. com Office 435-836-1319 / Cell 435-691-0436 for more information on how “you” can get involved. The present Torrey Town Administration is encouraging Torrey Town residents to take a critical look at their properties, as a concerted town clean up effort is constantly place. A Torrey Town Clean Lot Ordinance is in place and residents are encouraged and responsible to maintain their property in a manner that does not inflict undue aggravation and property devaluation on their neighbors. Torrey Town residents are requested, encouraged and
required to maintain resident and street front properties in a manner that is in line with the Torrey Town Clean lot ordinance. Torrey Town is not Hollywood California, but as Torrey Town citizens we do have a unique identity of our own that needs to be proudly maintained. Negligence is no excuse and will be dealt with legally and accordingly. To make an effort is to be a good neighbor. Right on queue and as always just after the orchard grass started to turn green the leaves on the crab apple trees have made their magical appearance and just as exciting, and soon to follow will be the purple plum spring buds. Surprisingly enough the perennial flowers began to sprout about two weeks ago before the front porch flowerbeds could be cleared. Now the delicate process of removing last year’s blanket of frost protecting leaves has commenced in yards all around Torrey and it is not uncommon to see everyone at the Torrey post office with dirt underneath their finger nails. Wayne County was well represented this past week at the Six County Association of Governments (Six County AOG) 2013 Leadership Conference. In attendance were the Wayne County Commissioners, the Wayne County Economic Development office Director Michelle Coleman, the Wayne County Mayor’s representative and Garkane Energy CEO Carl Albrecht. The Governors Office of Economic Development, led by Director Beverly Evans and Development specialist Les Prall, provided a lively discussion and insight into what can and should be expected from rural counties, communities and their locally elect-

ed representatives. Of prime importance and key to rural communities is our continued and prominent presence of the majority, and locally made decisions being made and properly presented by our elected representatives at the state and national level of our government. If we as local communities do not express to our elected officials what we as a majority desire, how can they honestly and openly represent what the majority needs? Democracy is primarily based on the premise that all eligible citizens have an equal say in the decisions that affect their lives. Democracy allows eligible citizens to participate equally—either directly or through elected representatives. Choose your local representatives wisely. Congressman Chris Stewart was the keynote speaker at the Six County Association of Governments (Six County AOG) annual 2013 Leadership Summit at Snow College, State Senator Ralph Okerlund, Representative Kay McKiff, Representative Spencer Cox and Representative Mike Noel were also present and made remarks and responded to questions from the audience. In a tableside discussion over lunch with Utah State Representative Mike Noel it was apparent that the out spoken Mike Noel felt Torrey Town has an apparent misunderstanding of his representative state side intentions and has promised to do a local Town Hall Style Meeting to answer and confront any such questions and misconceptions the voting public may have. As soon as a date can be confirmed, plan to set your DVR to record your weekly favorite show so you can attend this major State Representative Mike Noel event.

Sure wish the weather would make up its mind. You freeze one day and the next it is warm enough to not wear a coat. No wonder we are all getting colds. Tourist season in in full swing. The cars have multiplied on the highway outside my house and the cabins are filling up down here in Tropic. Not to mention up at the Motels on top. Now is the time you have to be careful of their driving habits because some of them think nothing of stopping in the middle of the road to take pictures or walking into your yard to photograph something that has caught their interest. What's so funny about it all is that when we go on vacation we don't think of ourselves as tourists and by darn we are. Camera's and all. Best Friends brought the cats back and they seem to be doing very well. Hopefully we won't get a big batch of babies soon like every other year. It is sad to see them out in the elements but there are WAY too many to take into your home. So you just feed and water them and they pay you back by scaring off the mice and other little critters. As long as the coyotes or dogs don't get to them. It breaks your heart to see them just alone. Hope all is well in your world and that you will see fit to share some news with us by emailing or calling before Saturday evening. If not you are in danger of me putting in something I find interesting and we would rather read your news. Anyone is welcome to put some news in the column. Thanks, VS

FYI PANGUITCH
HIGHLINE
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Tomorrow night the 12th is the Junior Prom at the high school; it is one of the highlights of spring. The junior class and the parents will spend the week sprucing up the gym and it is always interesting to see what they will come up with. The theme of the Prom this year is TONIGHT IS A FAIRY TALE. The promenade will begin at 8:00 and you may purchase tickets at the door. Come early so you can check out the scenery and stay late to dance with your favorite student. Another sign of spring, at the end of April, the 27th, there will a Craft Fair at the Social Hall and it will start at 10:00 am. The semi-annual LDS Conference ended today and in Saturday session they announced that there will be a Temple built in Cedar City, in the near future. Along those same lines Tom and Kay Hatch will be returning from their Mission call, in Africa shortly, we should be treated to some wonderful tales of their experiences. As a warning of our low water levels this year, that was
reported in the City’s news letter. Here is some information from the SL Trib., the States water level is at 64% of normal, So. Utah levels are at 34%. The last few years of drought we have been blessed by monsoons, coming up from Mexico in July and August, but you can’t count on that to keep happening. If you keep your lawns between 2 and 3 inches long it will look a lot greener and will require a lot less water. Water at night or in the morning, that way you won’t lose moisture from the sun. The Panguitch Lions club is again collecting your old used glasses. The groups that repair and check the vision on them and take the glasses to third world countries said that there is more demand for the glasses than what they bring with them. It is a delight to bring sight to those less fortunate, who can’t afford them. The glass boxes will be at the City Hall, Zions Bank and the Eye Doctors. At the Lions meeting, Paula Palmer reported on her success this last year in raising money to put play-
ground equipment down at the baseball complex. Her goal is to raise about $25,000 and she is about ¼ of the way there. Paula puts on bake sales and has received pledges from various organizations in our area. Lion Cindy Steward offered two of her cattle, to be raffled off later in the year. Call Paula if you want to donate to the playground equipment. I was talking to Commissioner Pollock, who serves on the prison board, and says that there is a movement throughout the state concerning the building of the new prison, to replace the one at the point of the mountain. I know that Sheriff Perkins is also involved in this and that would be to let each County take the lesser criminals. The State has 3,200 prisoners at the Point of the Mountain and the Counties have 1,600. The State pays $89.00 a day for each prisoner and the counties get only $48.00 a day for them. The cost of the new prison is going to run 400 million to build. What the Counties are proposing is that the State give them an additional 1,600 prisoners and this would be a
saving to the state of 16 million a year in prisoner per day cost and they could build a much smaller prison to house the really bad guys. This would bring more jobs to the small counties and save the tax payers a lot. I am sure that most of you know by now, that they have caught the very allusive Mountain Man. Troy Knapp was finally captured after a six years of isolation, allegedly at the expense of cabin owners in the southern Utah’s wilderness. The Mountain Man was finally captured by Ferron Reservoir in Sanpete County. Knapp spent a number of years breaking into cabins in Iron and Garfield Counties and charges will be brought against him for all of the items that he stole. He was armed and dangerous, but gave up without a fight. Knapp start his criminal life as an 18 year old and was convicted in California in 2000 for burglary and spent 2 years in jail. Catching the Mountain Man should put a lot of cabin owners on the mountain at ease. Looking for stuff. Mack Oetting
ESCALANTE News
by Marlene Haws ~ 826-4859 • marleneh@color-country.net Easter is over but there are still a lot of people traveling the desert road! I guess it will be like that all summer though, it seems to be a favorite spot! Arnold and Deon Alvey spent the Easter weekend with their kids, Dave and Raylene Whitefield, in Las Vegas, but had to make it a short one ‘cause Arnold had a doctor appointment in St. George early in the week. Harriet Priska has gone to Pasadena, California again to help her mom, Winnie Washburn. Winnie, 95, will be moving back into her home after a long convalescence. She took a fall in February and broke her left arm near her shoulder. It has healed so she is now able to walk with a walker. She thanks all who have expressed concern for her during this time. Harriet will stay with her until she is sure the transition is complete, then will drive Winnie’s van back to Escalante. Philip has promised to be good this time and not take any more ambulance rides while Harriet is gone. Turnabout had a retirement party this past week for Pratt Gates. They will miss one of their best cowboys. But, welcome to the ranks of the retired, Pratt. Some of Sharon Dale Marsh’s family got together for Easter. Sons, Justin and Ryan and families were still here on Tuesday. Justin lives in Cedar City and is our part time dentist. Ryan and Joy were showing their new baby girl off. They now have 5 daughters. They live in Spanish Fork where Ryan is a bank manager. Ben and Renee Porter came last weekend and got settled in, then they had to go back to Provo for Ben’s monthly shot. McKynlee Cottam got to go to the Jazz game in Salt Lake last Monday, April 1, for her birthday. She even got to have her picture taken with Jerry Sloan and the Bear. The evening of her birthday, Friday 5, she was baptized and confirmed by her dad, Ryan Cottam. By the time all the Cottams, Feltners and other relatives congregated for that the chapel at the church was half full. Three of the Feltner brothers and a sister of Tari Cottam’s, and their families, stayed over and they, along with Ryan and Tari’s family and parents, Cherie and LaMar Feltner, Tropic, spent a fun day down on the desert. They visited the Lichtenhaun Caves, rode four wheelers, took lots of pictures and enjoyed being together.

Practical Money Matters
Social Security Challenges You to a Word Game
How Financially Literate Are You? I’m not sure whether it was intentional or merely a coincidence that several years ago Congress proclaimed April to be Financial Literacy Month. April is also the month when millions of Americans grimly write a check to the IRS and resolve to do a better job managing their money; and when millions of others squander their tax refund without realizing why receiving overly large refunds isn’t sound financial management. In recognition of 2013’s Financial Literacy Month, the National Foundation of Credit Counseling just released the results of its seventh annual Consumer Financial Literacy Survey, which tracks Americans’ attitudes and behaviors related to personal finance. NFCC spokesperson Gail Cunningham said, “On a positive note, by certain measures a large percentage of Americans do feel they’re getting a better handle on controlling their finances,” she said. “On the downside, however, many people give themselves poor grades on their knowledge of personal finance, and worry that they’re not saving enough for a rainy day – or for retirement.” Here are some of the survey’s key findings: • 40 percent of adults have a budget and closely track their spending. In other words, 60 percent don’t use a budget.

by Jason Alderman Only 32 percent of those polled spend less on living expenses now than they did last year – a steady decline since 2009’s 59 percent level. At the same time, 27 percent said they now spend more than they did a year ago. About 71 percent pay all bills on time and have no debts in collection – a 7 percent improvement from 2012. Similarly, the percentage of adults who do not pay all bills on time has decreased, from 33 percent in 2012 to 26 percent in 2013. 37 percent carry credit card debt from month to month – a 7 percent decrease since the question was first asked in 2009. Insufficient savings tops the list of financial worries, with 43 percent most worried that they don’t have enough emergency savings, and 38 percent worried they’ll retire with inadequate savings. In fact, a whopping 31 percent say they currently save nothing for retirement. When asked where they learned the most about personal finance, the largest number (33 percent) said from their parents; yet 78 percent agree that they could benefit from advice and answers to everyday financial questions from a professional. To me, perhaps the most
telling statistic is that 40 percent of adults give themselves only a grade of C, D or F on their knowledge of personal finance. Should we be worried because that many people with a poor-to-middling understanding of money management are likely to be the major influence on their children’s financial habits? I think so. “Fortunately, many financial education tools are available for people of all ages,” noted Cunningham. “The challenge is making people aware of them and encouraging them to seek help when they need it.” Helpful financial education sites include: • MyMoney.gov (www.mymoney.gov), the government’s website dedicated to teaching Americans the basics about financial education. • The NFCC (www.nfcc.org), featuring information on obtaining free or low-cost help from trained, certified credit counselors. • Practical Money Skills for Life (www.pmsfl.com), a free personal financial management program run by Visa Inc., that includes saving and budgeting tips, and interactive video games like Financial Football that engage students while teaching them money-management skills. Don’t let another April pass without taking steps to improve your financial literacy – and that of your kids. Jason Alderman directs Visa’s financial education programs.
