Bryce Canyon N.P Initiates Scoping Process for a Multi-Use Path BRYCE CANYON N.P. - The National Park Service is seeking public comment on the proposed construction of a Multi-Use Path connecting Bryce Canyon City to Bryce Canyon National Park. The project is being planned in close coordination with Bryce Canyon City, Garfield County, Utah Department of Transportation and Dixie National Forest. The construction of the path would aid in addressing traffic congestion within the park and the adjacent community of Bryce Canyon City. For those that choose to explore the park by non-motorized means, the path would provide visitors with a safe travel alternative from Bryce Canyon City, through adjacent portions of the Dixie National Forest and throughout the Bryce Amphitheater portion of the park. An environmental assessment will be prepared in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act to provide a decision-making framework that analyzes alternatives to meet objectives, to evaluate impacts to park and national forest resources, and to identify measures to lessen the degree or extent of any impacts. The public is invited to
provide input on the proposed multi-use path. Comments received during the scoping period will be used to help define the issues and concerns to be addressed in the environmental assessment. An open comment period will begin on April 16, 2013. Those wishing to provide comments should submit them in writing as soon as possible, but no later than May 16, 2013 to: http:// parkplanning.nps.gov/brca, to brca_informantion@nps.gov, or to Bryce Canyon National Park, P.O. Box 640201, Bryce, Utah 84764. Respondents should include their name, address and email to be added to the mailing list for more information about this project. Remember that unless requested otherwise, a list of all those that comment during public review periods, including their addresses, is available upon request. A second opportunity for public comments will be available after preliminary alternatives have been developed, and a final public comment period will be available when the Multi-Use Path Environmental Assessment is released. —National Park Service

Many other scouts were also recognized with rank advancements and numerous merit badges. In all, 26 ranks were awarded, along with 101 merit badges. Obviously, Unit 681, sponsored by the Panguitch 3rd Ward, has a very active scouting program. Each adult leader is greatly appreciated for their time and effort in helping these boys advance in the scouting program. Of special note is that four scouts were recognized with 6 Bronze and Gold Palms, including a Bronze Palm to Tyler. Others honored were Ethen Armstrong and Joseph Vasquez with Bronze and Gold Palms, and Uriel Zubis with a Bronze Palm. Each Palm is earned by completing an addition 5 merit badges after the Eagle Rank, along with an additional 3 months of scout activity and service. Drew Fischer also earned his Varsity Scout Letter.

Utah Again Recognized for Lowest Healthcare Costs in Nation Analysis notes low costs of hospital care, doctors’ services
SALT LAKE CITY - Utah once again has been recognized for having the lowest healthcare costs in the nation, according to an analysis by the Wall Street Journal. Utah’s health care spending in 2009 was $5,031 per person, compared to the U.S. average of $6,815. The highest spending state in the country is Massachusetts, at $9,278, the newspaper found. The article, http://on.wsj. com/Xr3v1Z, cited Utah’s young and healthy population and “particularly low spending on hospital care and doctors’ services” to Utah’s continued efficiency in health care spending. “Credit is also due to the many providers working hard every day in Utah to bring patients low cost and high quality healthcare. They understand better than anyone that we need to work on driving down costs while maintaining quality,” wrote David Gessel, UHA vice president of government relations and legal affairs on UHA’s blog. Additionally, Gessel wrote,
“Legislative efforts related to tort reform over the years may also play a role in keeping malpractice rates and claims in check. Our population density along the Wasatch Front also makes it easier to serve a significant portion of the state in a cost-effective manner.” UHA represents 47 acute and specialty hospitals, 10 health systems and 27 affiliated professional services involved in providing healthcare services to the citizens of Utah and neighboring states. The full blog post can be found online at http://blog. utahhospitals.org/2013/04/09/ lowest-healthcare-costs-innation/. UHA is a private, not-forprofit trade association established in 1920 to represent the hospitals and health systems of Utah. The vision of UHA is to be the state’s most influential, trusted and respected leader in healthcare policy and advocacy and a valued resource for information and knowledge. —Utah Hospital Association
Utah Division of Consumer Protection Issues Warning on “Grandparent Scam”
Utah Concealed Firearm permit
SALT LAKE CITY - Francine A. Giani, Executive Director of the Utah Department of Commerce, announced that the Utah Division of Consumer Protection is warning the public that “grandparent scams,” where callers try to trick a senior citizen into believing that their loved one is in trouble in a foreign country and needs money to be sent to them immediately via Western Union, is still targeting Utah families. The Division is alerting the public that this type of scheme can happen to anyone in our community at any time day or night as Francine Giani’s own parents were the target in a recent phone call. Giani hopes by sharing her family’s personal story, citizens will be reminded that scams can truly happen to anyone...even if your daughter spends her career educating the public about avoiding scams for a living. “I applaud my father for not taking the bait and calling me first about this call before heading out to send money to what he thought was his grandson, said Francine A. Giani, “At Commerce, we say these messages often and I know sometimes it sounds like the same old story. I hope my family’s experience will prompt families to share this around the dinner table and remind grandparents to call their families first before acting with their check book.” Consumers are urged to hang up on such callers, contact their families to verify the information, and report any suspicious calls to their local police department as well as the Utah Division of Consumer Protection at 801-530-6601. —Utah Dept. of Commerce

Dixie National Forest to Implement Prescribed Fire in Various Locations CEDAR CITY - In the next couple weeks, if desired weather and fuel conditions exist, the Dixie National Forest may implement the Ahlstrom Hollow, Pretty Tree Bench, Duck Fuels Piles, Edward Springs, and Henrie Knolls Prescribed Fires (prescribed fire = managed ignitions to improve forest conditions). These prescribed fires are designed to improve forest conditions (such as reducing unhealthy fuel densities, encouraging more diverse species, making larger trees more fire resilient, promoting aspen) and to make communities and forest resources less vulnerable (by reducing fuel volume and density near communities) to future large wildfires. Ahlstrom Hollow is located approximately 20 miles southeast of Panguitch on the Paunsagunt Plateau on the Powell Ranger District. Pretty Tree Bench is four miles northwest of Boulder, Utah on the Escalante Range District.
Duck Creek Piles are located in and around the south end of Duck Creek Village, Utah on the Cedar City Ranger District. Edward Springs is located seven miles northeast of Paragonah, Utah on the Cedar City Ranger District. Henrie Knolls is located five miles north of Duck Creek Village, Utah on the Cedar City Ranger District. The projects may remain visible for a week or two as fire continues to clean up surface fuels after the ignitions. Smoke may continue to be visible in the surrounding areas following the prescribed fire ignition phase. Duck Creek Piles will be burned if there is spring snow. Otherwise, those piles will be burned again next fall when snow falls. For more information about these prescribed fires, contact Keith Adams at the Dixie National Forest at (435) 865-3700. —Dixie N.F.
More Utahns 50-Plus Show Entrepreneurial Spirit SALT LAKE CITY - For people who are rethinking their careers at midlife, the Small Business Administration (SBA) and AARP Utah are teaming up to offer workshops this month to help mentor these “Encore Entrepreneurs.” More than one in five people in their 50s have told AARP Utah they would be “very interested” in finding a new job or career, and almost half want to know more about alternatives to traditional retirement - including second careers working for themselves. Alan Ormsby, state director, AARP Utah, said the state’s business climate is encouraging. “One of the trends that we’re seeing is the number of companies that are started by women and the number of companies that are being started by people over the age of 50. It’s part of a national trend, but we’re seeing it in Utah, too,” he said. A full-day seminar coming up on April 17 in Salt Lake offers information about how to start and operate a new business, and shorter workshops
will be held on April 20 in Ogden and April 24 in Salt Lake. The SBA website has details. It is common for people to reexamine their work lives and goals in their 50s, Ormsby said, adding that, with a little help, it doesn’t have to be the stereotypical “midlife crisis.” “A lot of our members and a lot of the people we talk to want to do something big,” he said. “They want to make a change, to do meaningful work. For many of them, that means wanting to start their own business. Their biggest question is, ‘Where do I start, and who can help me?’” About 13 percent of AARP Utah members are selfemployed or own their own business. Three percent said they have just started a business in the past two years. Utah also has 11 Small Business Development Centers (SBDC) around the state that can help. The SBDC locations and event information are available on the SBA Utah District Office website, www.sba.gov. —Chris Thomas, Utah News Connection

We hope to see more and more of our outfitters, lodging property owners and managers, restaurant owners and tourism providers present this year.” “We are most anxious to host all of our tourism partners from around the state,” said Roxie Sherwin, director of the St. George Area Convention and Tourism Office. “We have planned for an enlightening conference, a good time and great weather!”

R Running time: 1 hr. 55 min.
As Garfield School District continues to work on building the new Budget for the 2013-2014 school year, I would like to pass along a comparison between the State funding model for education and Garfield County School District. In the State of Utah, the average student receives $6,452 of this money approximately 86.8 % or $5,600 is spent on salaries. The money spent on supplies for students comes in on the State level at about 7% or $450 of the $6,452. As a comparison, Garfield County School District spends approximately $10,149 per student. Of the $10,149 the District spends on each student, 66% is spent on salaries and benefits which totals $6,698. The money spent on supplies in the District accounts for about 3% of the $10,149, which is about $304 per student. One expense Garfield School District has that is typically larger than other districts in the State is transportation. Transportation accounts for approximately 4% or $405 per student. The remaining percentages are small in comparison which include technology purchases and custodial services to name a few. The increased costs per student in Garfield School District, when compared to the state, are very typical for smaller districts. In order for small districts to fund education, they experience smaller classes and challenges with geographic location. The District currently has three high schools supporting 356 students; it simply costs more money to educate students in Garfield School District when compared to other places in the State. One major advantage for our students is they experience smaller classes when they walk in our doors. A student in the Garfield School District on average will have a class of 16 students to one teacher. An average student in the State of Utah will have a class of 22 students for every teacher. Smaller class sizes mean more individual instructional time with the teacher which in turn will produce better educations for our students. —Superintendent Ben Dalton
HOST A FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENT! Wayne School District has one opening for a foreign exchange student for the 2013-2014 school year. Aspect Foundation is looking for families to host foreign exchange students for the up-
coming school year (August 2013 - May 2014). Students come from 20 different countries and families have the ability to select the student that stays in their home. Students are screened, have good grades and are emotionally mature. They speak English fairly well and will have their own health insurance and spending money. Hosting exchange students has proven to be an overwhelmingly positive experience for a great majority of host families. For more information please contact Ame Lawlor at 801-510-9405 (toll free 1-800-760-4620) or through email at ame.lawlor@aspectfoundation.org.

PHS Notebook by McKenna Finch
And Another One Goes
As I walk into the science classroom at Panguitch High the sound of students talking and burnt material fills the air. Ms. Goldthorpe stands watching over her class supervising the labs going on. “What has been your favorite thing about Panguitch High?” I ask her, to which she replies “The students are definitely...” and as one student tries to burn a pipette she revises that saying “Well, most of the time...” Heather Goldthorpe has spent the last school year teaching at PHS where she has taught math and science classes. She has had to prepare lessons in both subjects instead of just one subject, which she said it was kinda of hard to prepare for, but she learned a lot doing it. She is leaving PHS to find a job closer to Cedar City, Utah where she currently resides. I have not had the opportunity to take any of Ms. Goldthorpe’s classes this year but I have noticed how she always has a willing smile and has even been willing to help other students who have not even been in any of her classes. This makes the count for a science teacher at Panguitch High’s about 5 teachers in 10 years. The longest teacher to stay was Chad Reeder who stayed at PHS for 4 years. Hopefully one day we will be able to find a science teacher who can stick with us, until then we want to wish Heather Goldthorpe the best of luck wherever she goes and thank her for all the time she spent commuting back and forth between Panguitch and Cedar City, and also for the time and effort she put in to help students learn, grow, and flourish! Good Luck Ms. Goldthorpe! McKenna Finch is a senior at Panguitch High School.

dren in the country receive free and reduced price meals during the school year, but when summer rolls around, only about 1 in 10 of those kids (3 million) get free meals through federal summer feeding programs. Clearly, there is a gap that needs filling. Enter USDA’s Summer Food Service Program. Kids are at higher risk of going hungry during the summer months, and we are working to fill that void. USDA alone, however, cannot accomplish the important work of feeding our lowincome kids. You and your organizations have an important role to play. Faith-based, community and private non-profit organizations are pivotal in the lives of needy children. And schools, churches, recreation centers, playgrounds, parks, and camps are all eligible and encouraged to serve summer meals in neighborhoods with a high percentage of low-income families. These locations, by their very nature, offer safe and familiar environments and are places children gather when school is out. But feeding hungry young people requires commitment. Sponsors must provide a capable staff, managerial skills and food service capabilities.
Sponsors may provide their own meals, purchase meals through an agreement with an area school, or contract for meals with a food vendor. There are sponsors in your area who can work with you to feed the children in your community. And don’t forget to register your summer feeding sites for the National Hunger Hotline at 1-866-3-Hungry or 1-877-8-HAMBRE. The most successful summer programs offer activities for kids. Children are much more likely to come out for a meal when there is an activity to keep them there. It can include anything from sports, tutoring and arts and crafts, to other creative activities with community partners. To learn more about the Summer Food Service Program or to participate in one of USDA’s free webinar sessions on opportunities to provide summer meals, please visit www.summerfood.usda.gov. These helpful webinars will highlight the program, offer an understanding of how SFSP works, detail sponsor and site roles and responsibilities, and provide outreach tips and other resources to get started. —Kevin Concannon, USDA Under Secretary for Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services

Every1Counts How to Acquire a Wealthy Heart
tHe lAuGhiNg pOiNt!! Adoption
The couple was delighted when their long wait to adopt a baby came to an end. The adoption center called and told them that there was a wonderful Russian baby boy available. The couple accepted him without hesitation. On the way home from the adoption center, they stopped by the local college so they each could enroll in night courses. After they filled out the forms, the registration clerk inquired, "What ever possessed you to study Russian?" The couple said proudly, "We just adopted a Russian baby. In a year or so, when he begins to talk, we want to be able to understand him."
By Cynthia Kimball I went for a walk with a friend of mine. “I’ve been thinking about what you said last night?” “What’s that?” “That you’re really happy because you’re wealthy in your heart.” “...even though I’m the poorest, according to the world, I’ve ever been!” I laughed. “But, its true, Kev. I’m rich in heart. It’s the coolest feeling ever.” “I really like that.” “Yeah, me, too.” Are you wealthy in heart? Perhaps you don’t have material possessions and or financial riches, but you love to serve and that service brings you so much joy that through that, along with the blessings that come your way, you feel wealthy. In fact, I also had told Kevin, “I’m actually a trillionaire!” “It is the heart that makes a man rich,” said Henry Ward Beecher. “He is rich according to what he is, not according to what he has” (QuoteWorld, 2013). At the Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE) Region V Conference held in Salt Lake City recently, one of the keynote speakers was Stacey Bess. A teacher, whose first job was working with homeless children at “The School With No Name” in inner city Salt Lake. In her book, Nobody Don’t Love Nobody she wrote in the introduction, “When I speak on behalf of homeless children, the last thing I say to the audience is, ‘If you could spend just one day at the school, you would be a better person. You would feel so much more in your lives just by experiencing the strength that has come from all of the tragedies these kids
have lived through’” (p. x). Stacey worked with homeless children who were likely products of homelessness from “.substance abuse, mental illness, lack of education, insufficient housing, and domestic violence, as well as poverty.” (p. ix) to which she wrote, “I will never learn more anywhere about life and love,” (p. viii). A powerful presenter, Stacey speaks around the country telling her story. She has, by all accounts, a wealthy heart. Wealthy heart can mean: You give before you receive. You take in for your needs, but don’t care for wants. You’re bursting with love for mankind. Your priorities are aligned right. You want to serve mankind in whatever capacity. You’re in the world, but not of it. You don’t give up no matter how difficult the situation you’re in. You want to make the world a better place even if just by impacting one person (although, one person is never impacted. Typically, that one person pays it forward and soon-and-so-forth). What do you need to change to have a wealthy heart? Is there someone in your community that needs you? Is someone struggling
with an addiction? Or is someone without parents or a parent? What about the elderly, is someone you know living alone? What about the meanest person in your community? Deep down inside all they need is for you to love them. Think, right now, who in your community needs you? Then love them until you can feel and say, “My heart is rich. My heart is wealthy. I am a trillionaire!” Then keep doing what you’re doing, only step it up a notch, perhaps by even reaching out to some others. Because, as you know, wealthy in heart has nothing to do with money. It has nothing to do with what the world considers rich. It is, rather, about the love of God, your fellow man, that will make you rich. It’s up to you. You have a choice today to learn how to have a wealthy heart. Think, right, now, who can teach that to you. Then pick up the phone and call them. Better yet, visit them. Even if they bite your head off. Love them, love them, love them. It may take years, but it also likely took them years to become how they are.

Birthday Cake
The mother was having difficulty gulping down the birthday cake her young son had made for her as a surprise. When she was finished, he happily exclaimed, “I’m so glad you like it, Mommy. There should have been 32 candles on the cake, but they were all gone when I took it out of the oven.”
Missing Purse
Psychic Phenomena
One Saturday night some friends came to our house to play cards. As they were driving away at the end of the evening, I discovered that one of the women had left her purse in a corner next to the dining-room hutch. I was about to call her house, intending to leave a message on the answering machine, when my son reminded me that they had a cell phone. As I dialed the number, I marveled at the technology that would alert them before they had driven all the way home. A few seconds later the purse began to ring.
We were listening to a lecture on psychic phenomena in our Comparative Religions course. Our instructor told us about a woman who contacted police working on a missingpersons case. “She gave eerily detailed instructions on where to find the body,” the teacher said. “In fact, the detectives did find the body just as she had described. Now what would you call that kind of person?” While the rest of us pondered the question, a sheriff’s officer taking the course raised his hand and replied, “A suspect.”

Wills, Trusts, and More Inheriting Retirement Accounts by Jeffery J. McKenna
Retirement accounts such as IRAs, Keoghs, 401(k)s and 403(b)s present special estate planning concerns. Many tax issues must be addressed when planning for the lifetime distribution of retirement accounts to an owner as well as the balances remaining upon an account owner’s death. The IRS has provided many rules and guidelines related to these retirement accounts both during an owner’s life and upon his or her death. Specifically, proceeds from traditional retirement accounts (generally retirement accounts other than Roth IRAs) are subject to income tax the year they are received. Therefore, account owners, and those who may inherit accounts, generally want to keep distributions to a minimum to reduce taxes provided there is not an immediate need for the assets. Many account owners reach retirement and find they do not need the assets in their retirement accounts to supplement their retirement. For many of these individuals, their desire is to defer the distribution of these proceeds and allow the assets to continue to grow tax deferred. Based on the current law, an individual can defer taking proceeds out of most retirement accounts only up to age 70½ (there is no mandatory withdrawal for Roth IRAs). However, at age 70½, an individual must begin taking his or her required minimum distributions. These required minimum distributions are based on the life expectancy of the owner as
well as the named beneficiary. The required minimum distribution rules allow the account owner to combine his or her life expectancy with the named beneficiary’s life expectancy. Often, if an individual is married, the spouse is the best choice for the beneficiary. If a spouse is named as beneficiary, the spouse can convert the retirement account to his or her own IRA. This allows the spouse to continue to defer distribution of the proceeds based on the spouse’s life expectancy. However, in situations of very large estates where the spouse would have sufficient assets without the retirement account, the children or grandchildren may be the best ben-

eficiary choice. Naming the children or grandchildren as beneficiaries of different individual retirement accounts during the life of the account owner can allow for a greater “stretch” of the income tax deferral during the owner’s life and especially upon the owner’s death. This is true even though there are restrictions regarding the use of a child or grandchild’s combined life expectancy. There are many issues related to retirement accounts within an individual’s estate plan. It is very important to review decisions regarding retirement accounts especially when an individual reaches age 70½. Decisions made at 70½ have significant consequences and canbe irrevocable.

Ice Capades
A mother’s four-year-old daughter was attending her first performance of the Ice Capades. She was so mesmerized that she wouldn’t budge from her seat even during intermission, watching the activity while the ice was cleaned. At the end of the show, she exclaimed, “I know what I want to be when I grow up!” The mother envisioned her on the ice in another 15 years, starring in the Ice Capades. She was brought back to earth when the daughter continued, “I want to be a zamboni driver!”

No man is an Island, entire of it self; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the maine; if a Clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as well as if a Mannor of thy friends or of thine own were; any mans death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee. For Whom the Bell Tolls is part John Donne’s series of meditations and prayers on health, pain, and sickness (written while Donne was convalescing from a nearly fatal illness) that were published as a book in 1624 under the title Devotions upon Emergent Occasions, specifically Meditation XVII. Saturday morning at 8:00 a.m. the 13th of April the bells rang at the Torrey DUP, 64 times, it was Gene Russell’s last request and that final request was honored by DUP Camp Radiare Captain, Jesse Pace. Those that heard the bells ringing on that early Saturday morning knew exactly what they meant and felt compelled to ring a bell of their own, calling friends and neighbors as if together to say farewell to an old and faithful friend. Soren Kierkegaard once said, “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” I wholeheartedly agree. Looking backwards, Gene Russell was the type of guy that in his presence you just felt good. The most excited I ever saw Gene get was when he was doing something for someone else and when he did, he did it good and when he was done it was easy to tell Gene did it. Gene’s spirit and craftsmanship is spread all over Torrey Town and just about every old building and house in town has some of his handiwork in it. Gene could show up and look at a job and then disappear for a few weeks into his

Gene Russell, Torrey. Utah the 60’s and suffered from somewhat of an identity crisis. At that time in history the “Viet-Nam conflict” was still a serious source of worldwide confusion, but somehow in the town of Torrey a semi-sense of the lost western lifestyle and calm still prevailed. It was also during that time that Gene and Lanny Russell, Haircut, Randy Austin, Tim and Mary Moss, Steve Byrd, Lanny Beekman and many others became an important part of a peaceful-minded movement that has defined a continued and prevalent Torrey Town personality. Previously and well defined by the early pioneer settlers that were in search of a new way of life and were implicitly drawn, and continue to migrate to Wayne County seeking the American dream of an oftenuncomplicated way of life. Gene Russell is the universal champion of the uncomplicated way of life. Gene
was un-materialistic and lived a simple way of life. To my knowledge Gene’s life long motto was “Roll your own” and that piece of wisdom fit him to “T”. On Saturday morning April 13th, 2013 at 4:00 a.m. Gene Russell peacefully and silently slipped into the unknown and into the here after. With heavy hearts the Camp Radiare Torrey Town DUP tower bells rang 64 times as a genuine testament to Gene Russell and his final request. Shortly after Gene Russell’s passing the prevailing western spring winds began to violently blow, and they blew hard, almost as if in a quest to clear the Wayne County skies for something special surely to come. Thanks for your always friendship Gene “O”. Rest in peace our devoted and forever Torrey friend.

little shop in the old cabin at the Chuckwagon or down by the Rim Rock and when he would reappear with boards it was art. To try and replicate what Gene Russell could create would be forever fruitless. Gene’s signature was the natural ingredients that God created which made his work all so unique, and it was all in the detail as is present in the altar Gene built for St. Anthony’s Catholic church on Sand Creek Road. Some of Gene’s most visible attention to detail is in downtown Torrey at the Camp Radiare Daughters of the Utah Pioneers building on Torrey’s Main Street. Along with his long time friend “Haircut” and as recently as the summer of 2012, together they meticulously hand sanded, re-chinked, whitewashed the walls and hand rubbed the hardwood oak floors. Of prime importance to Gene while working at the DUP building was the delicate operation of the mechanisms in the bell tower and when he had the bells ringing properly he was as proud as a first time father and he would have gladly handed out cigars if he had any. It was right after the tumultuous years of the 1960’s and just before all the 1970’s New Year Eve’s decorations from the celebration of a new decade finally found their way to the Torrey dump that Gene Russell discovered Torrey Town. As a country in the early 1970’s the United States of America was still reeling from

FYI PANGUITCH
HIGHLINE
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com The Junior Prom – Class of 2014 was a great hit, with over 400 folks in attendance. The girls were beautiful in their gowns and the boys looked real sharp in their tux’s. There sure is a lot of work that goes in to this event, with the students and the parents working over a week on the ball. Ms. Caine, the Class advisor wanted to thank all of those that took part in making this a grand affair. It was fun to see McKayla Heaton at church in her beautiful gown. Pat said that it has been a long standing tradition that both the girls and the boys wear their prom outfits to church. I didn’t see too many with their prom attire, I hope this tradition doesn’t stop because it gives those who don’t attend the prom a chance to see the beautiful young women in their gowns and the handsome young men in their tux’s. The Norris twins were at the Extended Care Branch passing the sacrament wearing their tuxes. According to my source they looked very handsome. The Class of 2013 that graduates this year reminded me that it was only a few short years ago that I graduated, in 1953. Can that be possible? Time flies when you are having a good time. These graduates this year and in all of the years, don’t know
how lucky they are to go to a small school like Panguitch. Your friends now will be your friends forever—ask Pat about her friends from her class. As far as I know there won’t be any class reunion of my class, the only one that I ever knew about was the 50th and it was held on the Queen Mary’s ship in San Pedro, Ca. Everyone was so old looking and I didn’t recognize any of the women and that was ten years ago. Bobbie Bryant, a long time Main St. business owner is calling it a day, Bronco Bobbies will be closed. Bobbie’s coffee shop and boutique has been an anchor store on Main Street for some time and was a very good tourist stop, with her lattes and clothing. Bobbie is not retiring; she is the supplier for the Gift shops at the National Parks and needs a rest from working so many hours. You may be too late but everything in the store is on sale, at 30 to 70% off. Little L’s bakery is moving across the street and into the building and will serve pastries, sandwiches and coffee as well as tourist items. Speaking of gifts at the gift shop at the national parks, we had a family from Mexico visiting so Pat went to the gift store at Bryce Canyon and bought a necklace and bracelet for the mother. Surprise to Pat was,
she learned that Lu made the jewelry. Lu lives across from the post office- by the time I wrote this article it was too late to get more info… I will give more data next week. The LeFevre’s closed their nursery and Panguitch Floral & Gifts as well as Kevin & Melanie Heaton, each will open a nursery to fill the hole left by the LeFevre’s Nursery. Good luck to them. It must be spring because I also heard that the Fire House Antique Store will be opening for the season soon. It sure will be nice to have a busy main street. At the High School; the Drama Club will be competing at State and it will be held in Cedar City this year. It will be a two day affair, starting on Friday with the musical first and then individual completion on Saturday. FCCLA completion begins on Thursday and finishes off on Friday. FCCLA led by Tammy Bennett has been ever so successful, last year they sent 14 students back to Nationals in Florida. All of this competition is so good for the students, it gets them out of the box and out into the real world and they learn to put their best efforts against school of all sizes. And do as well if not better than schools of all sizes. Anna Gas from Circleville has made an honest man
out her husband of many years, Stan. The Pollocks were married (sealed) in the St. George Temple, last month. Anna’s feet have not touched the ground since the ceremony. Danny Fletcher is also going to be sealed to his wife and children, at the St. George Temple shortly. Bryce Canyon is girding itself up for the summer crowd. Many of the locals find work out there for the summer; it is a beautiful place to be. By the thousands, people hike the trails conneting Bryce’s overlooks and the below the rim of the Canyons trail. The crowds are creating problems with parking at Bryce and Sunset Point. Last year there were over 60 closings at these overviews. The shuttle buses that travel the seven mile loop in the north part of the park and stop at all four overlooks is a real good option. The shuttles unlike at Zion are not mandatory; however they did have 395,000 boarding’s last year, out of 1.4 million park visitors. The shuttles run every 10 minutes during the busy hours and you do get some information from the drivers on the park. So if you have visitors this summer that want to take in the sights of the canyon, encourage them to take the shuttle. Stay off of ladders, Mack O.

Aaron Johnson, reports that the surgery went fine but she gave them quite a scare while she was in recovery. We are glad to hear that she is doing okay now and will soon be able to go home from the hospital again. I didn’t get to go to the Junior Prom, but my neighbor, Jaycee Nez, tells me “It was a blast!” The crowd was large, the band was great and it was a total success. Camille Shakespear also said, “It was good. The boys were handsome and the girls were beautiful.” Susan Shurtz says, “It went off with out a hitch.” Congratulations to Jesse and Tionna Miller who recently went to the temple with their small son, Clancy. Accompanying them were: Jessie’s mom Marilee Miller, his father Jeff Miller, Tionna’s parents Link and Donna Chynoweth, Grandparents Ralph and Lael Chynoweth and DeLane Griffin and family members of Stake President Klin Chynoweth. Jessie will be moving his family to Mesa, Arizona where he will be attending school to become an X-ray Technician. Jeanie and Lee Davis and Ted and Laura Engberg also spent the day at the temple last weekend. It was on the birthday of Del Roy Davis, Jeanie’s late husband, The Escalante Second Ward had a change in their Young Women’s Presidency last Sunday. Michelle Lindsay will be the new President, with Jennifer (Justin) Christensen and Kate Godsey, Councilors, and Beth Christensen, Secretary. The outgoing Presidency as follows: President Ashley Chidester, Pres., Leslie Venuti and Lisa Young, Councilors and Kate Godsey, Secretary. Jolene Dodge lost her Casio Digital Camera in the parking lot at the Triple C Arena, in Panguitch, sometime during the State Bantam Wrestling Tournament. She had a lot of pictures in it that were quite important to her, so she sure would like to have it back. If anyone happened to find it her phone number is: 8264570 in Escalante. Marion and Peggy Spencer are the great grandparents of a new baby girl, born April 12th. The parents are Nicole and Colton Coleman and grandparents are Jennifer and Rory Mitchell. Congratulations to all! Marlene Stowe injured her ankle when she was hiking
around in a cave at Easter time. She is still limping around on it. Her granddaughter, Caitlyn Stowe, daughter of Brian and Cristy Stowe, Panguitch, called to tell her that she had hurt her ankle playing basketball. So they have been trying to console one another.

by Marlene Haws ~ 826-4859 • marleneh@color-country.net Mae Vonn Taylor called to tell me that Jimmy and Ethel Taylor and their son, Hayden, were in town for the Easter weekend. Their friends, Ken and Tammy Pollock came with them and they brought a grandson and a niece. They stayed in the house that used to belong to Hode and Ila Avey (Now belonging to Shannon and Jenifer Steed). The Alveys were Ken’s grandparents. He is a son of former residents Danny and Arta Beth Pollock. Hayden stayed with grandma, Mae Vonn. She says he just recently became an Eagle Scout. Another grandson, Jace Taylor, son of Jerry and Monica, got his eagle before he went on his mission so she is proud of both of them. Louie Bernardo is having more chemo treatments. He will be in our thoughts and prayers and we hope this will be the last time before he is all well again. Lisa Nez and her son, Brandon, went through the temple in St. George on Saturday, April, 6, 2013. Their uncle and aunt, Weldon and Marie Porter, accompanied them. Then on Wednesday, April,10, George and Lisa Nez, daughter Jaycee, and son Afton took Brandon to Provo where he entered the MTC. There he will train before going to California to begin his LDS Mission. God speed, Brandon. We’ll see you in two years. Carol and Russell Sorenson, their son Austin, their daughter, Ciara, and her husband, Preston Mitchell, St. George, spent the weekend with Pratt and Arcola Gates. I heard them say something about chasing turkeys! Steve Seymour and family are busily engaged in remodeling the building where the Escalante Implement Store used to be. The store front has been redesigned to match the other stores on Main Street. So another new business will soon be open for the benefit of Escalante and its citizens. Our condolences to ElRay Nixon and family at the passing of their wife and mother, Tillie Nixon. She was in the Garfield Memorial Hospital at the time of her passing. Jenifer Nixon, their daughter, has been here, from Texas, with her mom and dad for quite some time. Michelle Liston Johnson (daughter of Robert and Louise Liston) recently had surgery in Cedar City. Her husband,

Drought Conditions Expected to Intensify in Utah Raising Threat of Wildfire According to the U.S. Seasonal Drought Outlook, drought conditions are expected to linger or intensify in Utah presenting a heightened threat of wildfire. In an effort to help Utah residents reduce their wildfire risk, IBHS offers wildfire preparedness resources found here - http://www.disastersafety.org/ wildfire/ - which is available to home and business owners at no charge. The IBHS has outlined five ways home and business owners can reduce their wildfire risks. The best part, you don’t need a lot of money to do it. Find out what you can do to prepare below, while additional wildfire resources are available at DisterSafety.org. FIVE WAYS TO REDUCE YOUR WILDFIRE RISKS 1. Clean Roof Not only does a clean roof look nice, but it can also reduce your wildfire risks. Embers can travel more than a mile from an actual fire, which can ignite combustible debris on your roof. Be sure to pay attention to areas where the roof meets a vertical surface, such as at a dormer. Also, be safe and never work on your roof if you are uncomfortable. 2. Clean Gutters Have you cleaned your gutters lately? If not, they could be increasing your risk of wildfire damage. Gutters with combustible debris can be easily ignited by wildfire embers. 3. Clean Deck Much like the roof and gutters, a deck full of combustible materials increases the risk of wildfire damage. Remember that patio furniture and lawn ornaments can also be combustible, so store them inside when not using the deck. In addition, removing combustible materials from under the deck is critical. If you do store combustible materials under your deck, enclosing the underside of the deck can be an option. 4. Carefully Position Yard Structures Not only should combustible yard structures be placed away from your home, the area around them should also be maintained using noncombustible materials. 5. Relocate Propane and LP Tanks Relocate propane tanks at least 30 feet from the home. If this is not possible, create a 10-foot noncombustible zone around the tank. IBHS wildfire resources are available at DisasterSafety.org. Specific resources include: IBHS Wildfire Home Assessment & Checklist IBHS Wildfire Brochures: Residential, Farms and Ranches Wildfire Retrofit Guide – Rocky Mountain Edition Also, IBHS conducted the first-ever indoor ember storm in 2011 at the IBHS Research Center in South Carolina. You can watch video of the test here - Wildfire Ember Storm: http:// vimeo.com/22751346. IBHS is a leading national expert with respect to preparing for – and repairing and rebuilding structures after – a catastrophe to make them more disaster-resistant.

Practical Money Matters
Before You Rent, Do Your Homework by Jason Alderman
Maybe you’re a college student looking to rent your first apartment; or a downsizing homeowner reentering the rental market for the first time in decades. Whatever your situation, there are many precautions you should take before renting any property. The last thing you want is to be saddled with a 12-month lease you can’t afford or to be stuck in a neighborhood you’ve come to detest. As one who’s been there, let me share a few tips for renting a home: Before you even start looking, know how much you can afford to spend. Housing is the biggest monthly expense for most people so if you miscalculate what rent is affordable, your budget will suffer from the get-go. Besides rent, don’t forget such additional expenses as a security deposit, utilities, cable/satellite, Internet access, renters insurance, parking and laundry facilities and one-time move-in expenses like window treatments, appliances or rugs. Scope out the neighborhood. Determine how safe you feel walking around, especially if you’ll be parking on the street. Come back to see if the neighborhood’s character changes at night or on the weekend. Also note the proximity to parks, schools, grocery stores, public transportation and busy commuter routes. Thoroughly inspect each potential rental: • Consider total useable space – sometimes a smaller unit with a well-designed floor
plan is more desirable than a larger space with a poor layout. • Use a tape measure to measure each room to determine whether your furniture will fit. Ensure there’s sufficient closet, cupboard and storage space. • Look for safety features like deadbolts and peepholes on exterior doors, well-lit corridors, stairwells and parking structures, smoke detectors, fire extinguishers and bars or other security features on first-floor windows. • In multi-unit buildings, note the condition of common areas – that’s a clue how attentive the owner/manager is regarding upkeep. • Note the condition of appliances, plumbing fixtures, floors/carpeting, electrical outlets and switches, light fixtures, walls and windows. If you spot damaged or worn items, ask whether they’ll be replaced. If not, make sure they’re noted in the rental agreement. • Check the water pressure and hot water quality. • Check seals around doors, windows and vents; if leaky, they can boost utility bills. • Look for evidence of previous water leaks and mold. • Check for soundproofing, especially if there are adjoining apartments. Once you find a suitable place, read the rental agreement carefully. Don’t hesitate to ask a lawyer or more experienced friend to review it. If not spelled out in the lease you may want to ask the landlord:
• How much is the security deposit and what are the requirements for getting a full refund? • How are rent increases determined? • What happens after the lease term ends? Often, it’ll convert to a month-to-month rental agreement where you can leave anytime with proper notice (usually 30 days). • How many tenants are allowed? • What are building policies for things like houseguests, noise curfews, maintenance and repairs, pest control, smoking, lost keys and pets? • Can you sublet the unit before your lease expires? And finally, be aware that many landlords check credit reports of potential tenants. Before you start looking, check your own credit report so there are no surprises. You can order one free report per year from each of the three major credit bureaus – Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. (Order through www.annualcreditreport.com; otherwise you’ll pay a small fee.)

Death and Taxes? This Week, Face Them Both SALT LAKE CITY - If the only certainties in life are death and taxes, this week there’s a chance to deal with them both. Today, of course, is income tax day - but Tuesday is National Healthcare Decision Day. It’s a reminder to let loved ones and doctors know how you might want sudden or end-of-life medical events handled, if you’re unable to make that call. Will Kennedy is a hospice medical director. He said having a living will is a good start, but this is about more than medical details. “What are the things that you as a person value - that is, what is ‘quality of life’ to you? What are different types of circumstances in which you might make different decisions? It’s about helping loved ones understand what you would want,” he explained. Kennedy said it is important to put your wishes in writing in the form of advance directives, and every state has slightly different rules and forms. Whatever your preferences, he said, it’s important that your doctor also has a record of them. The discussion does not have to happen all at once, he added. It can be handled in stages, and documents can be updated over time, with greater detail necessary for a person facing a chronic illness. For those who don’t want to talk about it, he suggested framing the conversation not about failing health but about providing peace of mind for family members and friends. “When these issues are not clarified, they can create a tremendous legacy of grief and distress, because they did not know what to do when someone had some type of dramatic medical event,” he said, “and they’re left with the uncertainty - and sometimes guilt - about making decisions on what they thought that person would have wanted.” The group “Compassion and Choices” points out that Alzheimer’s and related dementias add a complication that should be addressed early. Most advance directives only take effect if a person is terminally ill or unconscious, and people who suffer from dementia may be neither, but still are unable to make medical decisions. Links to state-specific advance-directive forms are available at www.compassionandchoices.org. —Chris Thomas, Utah News Connection

Successfully Run the Rapids in Your Marriage If you had no experience running rapids would you ever consider jumping in a boat with your spouse and launching into the Colorado river? If you answered no, why not? Anyone who has ever been to Lee’s Ferry will tell you the Colorado river looks very mild at that point. The river doesn’t look scary. In fact it is very peaceful And the scenery is stunning. The Grand Canyon, with all it’s beauty, awaits. All you have to do is jump in a raft and start paddling down the river to experience the awesome majesty of floating on the Colorado river through the Grand Canyon. By all accounts floating the Grand Canyon has been described as the trip of a lifetime. So why wouldn’t you want to undertake that adventure with your spouse. Sure there are some rapids but you
have watched movies of people going through rapids and they look like they are having fun. It can’t be that hard. The difference between the people in the movie and you taking off on your own is they are going with experienced guides who know the river and how to best avoid the obstacles that can cost you your life or at the very least make it downright miserable.. The same can be said of marriage. You can go it alone or you can learn from the experiences of those who have gone down the river before you. Learning how to navigate the river of marriage can make all the difference in whether or not the journey is filled with amazing experiences or fraught with peril. And once you add kids to your boat then all of a sudden more lives than just you and your spouse are affected. Even
if you have been going down the river of marriage for 70 years there are still things you can learn to make the experience even better. This month the Wayne County Date Night will be held at the new Broken Spur Restaurant in Torrey starting at 6:00 pm tomorrow night Friday the 19th. We will enjoy an amazing dinner of beef, garlic potatoes, drinks and all the fixins. The cost is only $5.00 per person! Door prizes will be given out so invite lots of people to increase your chances of winning. RSVP by calling Gaelyne Peterson at 435-8361313. After dinner we will hear an entertaining presentation on surviving and thriving in the river of marriage. —GaeLynn Peterson USU Cooperative Extension, Wayne County
