Historic Wagons in Panguitch to be Purchased and Preserved

Panguitch Main Street is seeking contributions to the "Historic Wagons Funds" to purchase four wagons as historical markers on Main Street. Above is one of the wagons intended for inclusion in the purchase. PANGUITCH - The Main Street Organization is currently in need of donations for our “Historic Wagons Fund.” We are asking the local businesses here in Panguitch to donate funds that will help our organization purchase the four historical wagons that have

graced our city Main Street for many years. You may recall the stagecoach on the corner of Joe’s Market, the water wagon in front of the Social Hall, and the two delivery wagons placed on each end of town. A private citizen who currently owns the wagons wishes

to sell the four wagons for a total of $4500.00. Our goal is to raise the funds for the purchase of the wagons and for future maintenance and storage. We know we can meet our goal with the help of local businesses and the local public. This will ensure the wagons stay in

HANKSVILLE - In May of 2015, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) law enforcement received information that dinosaur bones may have been illegally excavated and taken from the Hanksville area near the Burpee quarry, which is located on public lands managed by the BLM and the School and Institutional Trust Lands (SITLA). During the investigation, BLM law enforcement determined that a college group from Texas on a geology field trip had been in the area and visited the Hanskville-Burpee Dinosaur Quarry during the time period. The five individuals involved included students and instructors from McLennan Community College. Special Agents from the BLM traveled to Texas and interviewed the suspects who had been identified during the course of the investigation. The interviews were critical in determining each individual's involvement in the illegal excavation of dinosaur bones from the

Burpee Dinosaur Quarry area. “The preservation and protection of Utah's vast paleontological resources is a top priority for BLM law enforcement and our State and local law enforcement partners,” stated Dan Love, BLM Special Agent- InCharge, Nevada/Utah.” BLM-Utah Law Enforcement worked closely with State investigators, the U.S. Attorney Office in Texas and Utah, the Utah Attorney General’s office, and McClennan Community College who were all instrumental in bringing forth the current criminal charges. BLM Special agents recovered approximately 60 pounds of dinosaur bones, which were seized as evidence and returned to Utah. “The prehistoric bones that were damaged, removed and stolen, and the lands on which they were found, are held in trust for Utah’s public education system,” stated Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands (SITLA) Director David Ure. “Trespass and theft will not be

tolerated. Misuse devalues trust lands and their resources, which are managed exclusively for Utah’s K-12 public school system.” “On behalf of our public school beneficiaries, SITLA appreciates the diligent work of the BLM for leading this theft and trespass investigation,” said Director Ure. Under state law, prosecutions for trespass on state trust lands are initiated by the local county attorney. In this instance, criminal trespass charges have been filed by the Wayne County Attorney in the 6th Judicial District Court against the five individuals believed to have been involved with the theft. The BLM land near Hanksville, Utah is part of the Morrison Formation. Contained in this formation is HanskvilleBurpee Dinosaur Quarry. The Hanksville-Burpee Dinosaur Quarry is located about 10 miles northwest of Hanksville. — Bureau of Land Management

BLM Announces Investigation into Dinosaur Bone Theft in Wayne County

GSENM - The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) to evaluate the environmental effects of the BLM proposal to make improvements to the White House Campground and Trailhead. The White House Campground and Trailhead are located approximately 43 miles east of Kanab, Utah, on lands administered by the Grand StaircaseEscalante National Monument (GSENM). The proposed improvements include constructing up to seven car camping units with shade shelters and up

Letters Regarding Proposed Gravel Pit in Wayne County Better location for gravel pit?

Open letter to the good people of Wayne County: Our family has had a home in Torrey for the past 25 years.....we feel we are a part of this community as much as anyone. We are happy to shop locally, we pay taxes, we pick up garbage on the highway, we help serve lunch to the community each month, so we don't know what else it takes to belong to the community. We don't want to cause a division in our community because we oppose building a gravel pit in a neighborhood instead of a more remote location, and we certainly don't want anyone to lose the source of their income. We are just trying to look at the longterm consequences of what a gravel pit would mean to people trying to raise families nearby....safety and health issues; older citizens who have worked hard all their lives and can now live out their retirement years in an area so beautiful most people only see in magazines; local businesses trying to do well while the tourist season is upon them. Health issues, economic issues, environmental issues....they are all important and mean a lot to us. We understand the need for a gravel pit...yes, we want to drive on safe roads, we need gravel for driveways, septic systems, etc. but we don't want the gravel pit located in a neighborhood or near the Capitol Reef gateway towns of Torrey and Teasdale. We have over a million visitors a year visiting our area...they come because we have a unique and pristine landscape unlike anything they have seen or know about. This is what we need to preserve.....the landscape, the dark skies we have become nationally known for and the warm and friendly people who live here. We are hoping the family that runs the construction company and in need of a gravel pit, asphalt production and a rock crushing operation will reallize how many families will be negatively affected by the decision to locate it in Teasdale, and find another, more suitable location that would not adversely affect and upset peoples' lives. Thank you for your consideration, Robert and Barbara Czapla, Torrey

How does proposal make local businessses more "competitive"?

This would be incomprehensible except for the fact that we live in Utah. In the 21st century. Where politics and cronyism trump good sense, vision and fair play everywhere. Even rural Wayne County, population around 2600. Where County Commissioners are today seriously considering allowing their favored local businessmen to establish a 120 acre gravel pit and rock crushing operation in a pristine area of the county known for its sustained winds. The proposed location is currently zoned residential/agricultural, and situated within a mile or so of two of its more picturesque local communities. Hundreds of local residents have voiced and written strenuous protests citing numerous issues, most being obvious to even to the most casual observer who has ever witnessed a gravel pit in operation. The most egregious being the numerous poisons which will be released upon the local populous and flora and fauna during the many years the pit is proposed to be operational. The compelling justification for this new pit is to allow the local business to become more "competitive" in the future. New jobs? None. Expansion? Not so much. Just more "competitive". Hard to blame this one on Obama. Richard W. Teasdale, Torrey

Can we find another spot?

Honest to Betsy — as my mother used to say — we all want the same things. Whether we’re up county or down county, new here or five generations in Wayne County, blond, brunette, redheaded or bald: we all want a nice place to live that is safe for us and our kids. We all want gravel: for roads, for driveways, for jobs. I don’t want to get in your way and you don’t want to get in mine. Nobody wants cancer, not for herself or for others. Nobody wants to cause trouble. Couldn’t we please all find another spot for that gravel pit that won’t inconvenience anybody? Instead of paying for lawyers and court fees, why don’t we put our time, energy and money into finding someplace that’s good for Brown Brothers, good for Wayne County, good for you and good for me. We’re all pretty smart, but I’m thinking that it’s pretty dumb of us to be pulled apart as a community over something as easy as finding another place. Let’s all get our feet out of cement and stop thinking about how we’re not going to let “the others” dictate to us. We are all “the others” to somebody. Let’s just be “us” and get this done in the spirit of fellowship. Barry Morgenstern, Torrey

Find another location with few neighbors and less downwind impact

We have a home and a meditation retreat center on West Main Street, in Torrey. We have held meditation retreats there in a large tent for almost ten years. This year, we expect to generate more than 650 visitor days in Torrey and Wayne County from our community members' attendance at retreats. The attendees come from as far away as Europe and South American to settle themselves in the amazing red rock country surrounding Torrey. We are committed to remain here, and are presently constructing a lovely new building that will replace the tent and bring additional practitioners to Wayne County, and income to local businesses, for years to come. We only recently heard of the proposal to permit SITLA to lease land for a gravel pit upwind from our location and close to Teasdale. We strongly object to this proposal. We appreciate that Wayne County's infrastructure may need sand and gravel for construction. However, there are many SITLA and other lands within the county that could provide needed sand and gravel that are not close to and upwind from one of the county's few towns, and the gateway to Capitol Reef National Park, lands where a pit will not represent a use entirely inconsistent with the nearby residences and businesses. The well-known wind tunnel that is created by the Fremont River gap will carry dust and pollutants from the pit to our location, to all of Torrey and surrounding ranches and residences, and to the pristine skies of Capitol Reef. The serious resultant health impact is addressed by the physicians' letter in opposition to the proposal sent to the County. The long term economic impact on property owners and residents from reduced property values and the deterrence of visitors and events which might consider coming to the Torrey/Teasdale/Grover area is hard to quantify, but certainly will be very significant. And the truck traffic and the dangers and noise it represents is a further threat to all those nearby. The justification offered for siting a pit in this location, where it will have immense environmental, scenic, and traffic impact, is that it will cut slightly the cost to the pit owner of transportation of sand and gravel to one hoped-for road project. This cost saving hardly justifies the economic, environmental and traffic impact of the pit on Torrey, Teasdale, and the adjacent area. And that cost savings to the pit operator entirely disappears when one considers that the pit is proposed to be open for years. In those years, the pit owner will have to haul product to many far more distant locations in the county to make money from the operation. A few dollars saved on a bid on one road project cannot begin to justify the costs imposed on the adjacent land owners, businesses, and communities over the years of the pit's operation. We strongly urge the County to reject the proposal. Find another location with few neighbors and less downwind impact. The direct economic return to the county and its residents from the proposal is minimal. The cost imposed on those of us nearby is great. In the bargain, Wayne County will be seen as shortsighted in its use of an irreplaceable economic resource--its clean air, quiet, and stunning scenery. Michael Zimmerman and Diane Hamilton, Torrey

SITLA lands east of Park are a better location

To the Insider, the P & Z members, Commissioners of Wayne County, and the County Attorney, My wife and I have no objection to BBC developing a Gravel and Sand Pit in Wayne County, but we are adamantly opposed to the current proposed location. SITLA has many plots for lease that are east of Capitol Reef National Park, which are much more appropriate locations for this sort of operation. My wife and I have lived in Teasdale since 1999. We moved here for the beauty and serenity of the area. My wife has been on long term disability for the past 17 years, and a significant aspect of that disability relates to her respiratory problems. Would the P&Z Committee/County Commissioners seriously consider putting a strip club/beer hall on main street in Loa? Of course not. Why then would you consider putting an industrial zoned operation at the gateway to the Park, and in the middle of a residential/agriculture area? This is offensive on many levels for the residents who live here, and for the many visitors who come to our county. Find an alternative, appropriate location. You can be certain that this proposed location in Teasdale will be met with a protracted law suit should this process go forward. Gary Bamossy & Janeen Costa, Teasdale

The

Gravel pit decision has world-wide consequences

Many Utahans want to take back federal lands. They say they know the best way to use those lands. Wayne County Planning and Zoning members and County Commissioners have the chance to show the world how rural decisions are made. Perceptions are that these "up-county" P&Z members and Commissioners "have already made up their minds" to allow the Gravel Pit in the Teasdale location because of family relationships or close friendships with Brown Brothers Construction, or because of long-standing animosities between "up-county" vs. "down-county" ways of doing things. Utah is known for sending missionaries out into the world proclaiming "all that is of good report and praiseworthy," and through that missionary work and extensive tourism advertising, Utah "invites the world to its doorstep." Will the Gravel Pit decision exemplify logical reasoning, careful consideration of the concerns of citizens living close to the pit location, and correct stewardship of the Wonders of Wayne County?! I believe the location of a Gravel Pit at this Teasdale location is so wrong for so many reasons. I pray for cooperation between all parties to find a better location.

P&Z has demonstrated little interest in concerns

Dear Wayne County Commissioners, Planning & Zoning Board & Wayne County Folk, I am writing this public letter to express my dismay and concern for the proposed gravel pit in Teasdale. I live in one of the early homes built here (more than 100 years old), the Coleman house on the corner of what is now Center and Main. From the moment I saw Teasdale I wanted to live here. And though I grew up in Pennsylvania, I knew within a year of living in Wayne County that I’d found home. We’ve been fortunate enough to live here full-time for more than 20 years. I love Wayne County. I love the people here. I have strong heart connections to some of the LDS folk I worked with at Aspen programs for so many years. So I want to be clear this is not an attack against anyone. I just don’t want a gravel pit in our backyard, for so many reasons (health, dust, the view, the noise, the light, the heavy truck traffic, etc.) I know more than 100 people from the Teasdale/Torrey area have sent in letters, and more than 100 signed a joint letter, with only 2 days to gather signatures, yet my understanding is that the Planning & Zoning (P&Z) board are uninterested, except 1 member, in our concerns. I would hope the Planning and Zoning board works to be fair and impartial and consider the ramifications of such a project on ALL its constituents. So, here are my questions: 1) I would like to know if BBC has explored all other options for expanding their gravel pit locations - particularly to places that will have less of an impact on locals, while meeting their needs for proximity to jobs they are bidding on. 2) I would like to know why the P&Z demonstrates little interest in considering the concerns of the hundreds in Teasdale and Torrey folks against this proposal that will impact our beautiful views, health, etc. People attending the last meeting (4/20) said that only one member appeared to have read all the letters, most demonstrated little interest in the varied concerns and that several of the board members had not been out to visit the proposed site. 3) I would like to know who will be responsible and who will pay for making sure BBC follows the use conditions (I hear other ordinances are not enforced due to money/manpower shortages). Will the cost of responsible oversight for road damage, speeding, noise and dust reports, etc. be included in the granting of the permit? 4) I would like to know if the Wayne County governing bodies have made a factual study of the impacts on dust, tourism, noise level, view, road damage, county oversight, property value decreases of this proposed gravel pit. Have they explored comparable situations - putting a gravel pit in a heavy tourist area? Thank you for listening. Pam Parsons Dupuy, Teasdale

This is a quiet, residential neighborhood

Dear Editor, I am writing as a resident of Teasdale, UT who is extremely concerned about the proposed gravel pit development between Torrey and Teasdale. The issue is entirely about location, not the use of natural resources or the company who has requested the lease. A gravel pit in the location, just south of SR24, impacts not only the remarkable scenery lying virtually at the entrance to the Capitol Reef National Park area, but to the considerable impacts to residents and businesses directly adjacent to and in the vicinity of the pit. These concerns include reduced property values, health effects of fugitive dust, noise, increased heavy truck traffic, and potential impacts to cultural sites. This is a quiet rural, residential neighborhood, and no place for such an industrial facility. I urge Brown Brothers Construction and SITLA to go back to the drawing boards and find a more suitable location. Rest assured that the neighboring communities are not going to back down in our opposition to the use of this location. Sincerely, Veronica Egan, Teasdale

Urge planning commission to deny request

Dear Insider We are property owners, tax payers and devout admirers of the people, culture and landscape of Wayne County. Teasdale is where we own property, and is one of the most beautiful, peaceful places on earth. Located only a few miles from Capital Reef National Park, Teasdale welcomes guests from around the world to this peaceful, idealic location. Capital Reef National Park is one of only 31 areas in the world designated as an International Dark Sky Park. This unique area requires protection for the ages. Allowing a gravel pit off the Teasdale Bench Road will ruin the atmosphere of the entire area. Torrey/Teasdale will no longer be the pleasant and beautiful, agricultural/residential area it is now. It will be the site of gravel trucks, noise, dust, and destruction. This is unthinkable. For $1,200 per year, (wiplus a few cents per ton and no new jobs) Teasdale will be sold to the lowest bidder for industrial destruction. We urge the Planning Commission in the strongest manner possible to deny this request. Sam and Nancy Rushforth, Teasdale

& Sports Concurrent Enrollment Changes With recent legislative changes, Math III (11th grade) is now required for students to enroll in any concurrent enrollment math course. The Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) adopted rules effective in August of 2016. One of the changes is if a student completes Math I, II, and III with an average grade of “C,” they can enroll in Math 1010 without an 18 on the ACT. However, students may still use the ACT or Accuplacer scores to place them in concurrent enrollment courses. Students who want to enroll in Math 1030 (Intro to Quantities Reasoning), Math 1040 (Intro to Statistics), or Math 1050 (College Algebra) must have both a “C” average in Math I, II, III and meet the ACT requirements set by the universities, which has been a 23 on the ACT in the past. Please also note, if a student completes Math 1010 with a “C” or higher, they are also eligible to enroll in Math 1030, 1040, or 1050. Depending on the student’s career path, they need to select the correct math course. To help facilitate this process, I suggest for students and parents to visit with their high school counselor. Please be aware of the new changes by USHE as a student’s 9th grade math class may impact the future opportunities of concurrent enrollment courses. If you have question or if I can be of assistance, please contact me at the district office. —Ben Dalton, Superintendent, Garfield School District

WHS Scholarship of Excellence

$3.5 Million Available for Aligning Education with Utah’s Economic Needs SALT LAKE CITY - On April 12 the Utah Cluster Acceleration Partnership announced $3.5 million in grants for Utah educators and industries to educate and prepare students for high-demand jobs. At a presentation for education and industry leaders, Utah Department of Workforce Services (DWS) Executive Director Jon Pierpont highlighted the importance of aligning educational opportunities with economic needs. “In Utah, we enjoy a healthy economy and a strong public education system, but it takes a collaborative effort to ensure that they line up with each other,” said Pierpont. “These grants help students prepare for employment and meet the workforce needs of industries in the state.”

Grant recipients included the Natural History Museum of Utah, Utah Aerospace Pathways, Machine Utah and the Cyber Corps. The Natural History Museum of Utah created an online program called ResearchQuest that allows students to collaborate to solve realworld research problems, like identifying dinosaur fossils. Utah Aerospace Pathways created an educational pipeline to allow students to certify in aerospace manufacturing while still in high school, through concurrent enrollment. Machine Utah promotes machinist apprenticeships that lead to good-paying jobs using high-tech equipment to create parts for aerospace, medical, defense and transportation industries. The CyberCorps program trains rural Utah high school students to work as IT support in their own school, providing them both education and real-world experience for an in-demand field. —Utah Dept. of Workforce Services

Wills, Trusts, and More What is the Best Way to Receive Your Inheritance? by Jeffery J. McKenna

Getting an inheritance in any format is great! However, getting an inheritance in trust may be even better. Let me explain. Most clients want all or at least part of their estate to go to an individual such as a spouse, child, close family member or friend. Usually, the clients have no special concerns about how the named beneficiary will manage the inheritance. In such a situation, the client may say, “I just want the inheritance to go outright to the beneficiary, with no restrictions.” However, is that really the “best” format? What if a few restrictions could yield significant protection for the inherited assets? An option to strongly consider is having the inheritance go to the beneficiary in an Inherited Subtrust. During the beneficiary’s lifetime, the subtrust holds the assets for the benefit of the beneficiary, with distribution as needed to pay for the beneficiary’s health, education, maintenance and support expenses. Although the named beneficiary can manage the trust as the trustee of the subtrust, and receives trust assets as

needed, the beneficiary does not own the assets when they are held by the subtrust, which provides significant protection from creditors. The fact that the beneficiary of the subtrust is not the owner, and has never been the owner of the assets, is the key. While a creditor or divorcing spouse can attach (and take) what someone owns, it is much harder for a creditor to take the assets that are owned and managed in an inherited subtrust. This method of leaving assets in a subtrust for beneficiaries can be a great way to leave an inheritance. The assets remain available to the beneficiary for their health, education, maintenance and support. The beneficiary can serve as their own trustee and, with certain limitations, can control the use and distribution of the assets. Also, the beneficiary can have the power to appoint the trust assets to the people or institutions the recipient wants to benefit upon the recipient’s death. Finally, and perhaps most significantly, as noted above, leaving inherited assets in a subtrust can help protect the assets from creditors. The subtrust format has

two principal inconveniences for the recipient. First, after the grantor dies, but only after the grantor dies, the assets received must always be titled in the name of the subtrust. Second, the subtrust must file its own separate income tax return. Again, the extra tax return is only filed after the death of the original person creating the general trust. In conclusion, before just “giving the inheritance outright” to those you love, consider including a subtrust in your general trust. This relatively simple modification can make a huge difference and better protect the assets you are leaving for loved ones.

tHe lAuGhiNg pOiNt!! Goals

Running late for a job interview at a large men's fashion company, I grabbed a white dress shirt that I didn't have time to iron. The interview went well -- until the end. "Just a word of advice," said my interviewer. "You might want to iron your shirt before your next job interview." I held up the back of my shirt collar, revealing the tag. On it was the name of that very clothing company and the words "wrinkle-free" ... I didn't get the job.

Today's Thought

I like to party, and by "party" I mean take naps.

Packaging

My brother and I were discussing our mutual weight problem one evening, when I challenged him to a contest. If I lost the most weight in the next month, I wouldn't have to pay the $25 that I owed him. If he lost the most weight, I would have to pay up. Anything for an incentive! "All right," said he happily. "But let's wait two weeks before we start. There are some things I have to eat first."

Answers for this week

Just that sort of day

I was asked to participate in a video for work, so I brought in a couple of outfits and played thespian for a day. At the end of the shoot, the receptionist eyed me suspiciously as I walked around in outfit number two. "Have you changed clothes?" she asked. "Or did I forget to go home?"

Hear, Here

During my first meeting with my physically challenged students, I assured them that most people are handicapped in some way. "Look at me," I said. "My eyes are so bad, I need to wear glasses. Because I can barely hear, I need a hearing aid. And look at my ears ... they're much bigger than they should be." From the back, a boy added, "And your nose, too."

Sofa Love

Marines are known for storming the beaches, not for romance. I witnessed this firsthand. One of the enlisted men complimented the receptionist's flowered jacket. "It's very pretty," he said shyly. "Thank you," she replied coyly. "Yeah," he went on. "It looks just like my mother's sofa."

Danger!

Our supply clerk at the factory was in a dither. A box had been left on the loading dock with this warning printed on it: "Danger! Do Not Touch!" Management was called, and we were told to stay clear of the box until it could be analyzed. When the foreman arrived, she donned safety goggles and gloves, and then she carefully opened the box. Inside were 25 signs that read: Danger! Do Not Touch!

Winifred Elizabeth Young Washburn November 11, 1917 - April, 23 2016 ESCALANTE - Winnie went to be with her Lord surrounded by her children and visited by many friends in the few days after she “lost her soup” … Winnie was known by all for her unconditional love and support of their own growth and spiritual path. Winnie, daughter of George Demming and Olivia Rudolph Young, was raised on a dairy farm in the Oakland hills where her parents homesteaded and raised 6 children. They learned self sufficiency early on and during the Depression she and her sister delivered milk for Young Dairy. A voracious reader, Winnie graduated from High School at age 15 and earned two Bachelor’s degrees in June of 1941 in Church Music and Christian Education from the University of Pacific, Stockton, California. Her love of the Lord Jesus Christ and her desire to serve Him were the foundation of Winnie’s marriage to Reverend Charles Harrison Washburn in 1941 and their life of Ministry and service in St. Anthony and Rexburg, Idaho; Effingham, Illinois; Edinburgh, Scotland; Idaho Falls, Idaho; Sheridan, Wyoming; San Francisco, California and the greater San Francisco Bay area during the 62 years of their marriage. In 1960, Winnie began her career in Special Education which spanned the next 25 years and included a Masters in Special Education from San Francisco State College, and writing a major teaching manual on Mainstreaming Special needs kids back into the class room which is still in use to this day worldwide. After Harry retired from full time ministry they were called into ministry to convalescent homes and Winnie acted as the administrator of two different sets of outreach in the Bay Area that involved many volunteers to a large number of rest homes. This experience encouraged Winnie to get her Master’s degree in Gerontology from San Francisco State University. She wrote her thesis on the spiritual needs in the aging process. Later on, Winnie pursued a Masters degree in Theology from San Francisco Theological Seminary and was always deeply involved in expanding her Biblical knowledge and faith. Both Harry and Winnie enjoyed the fellowship of numerous Jewish friends which led her to write a book: “To the Jew first and then to the Gentile,” a study guide to a book about the “Study on the Book of Acts” written by Dr Arno Froese. Her last book was accepted in March 2016 for publication. It is about how Jesus Christ fulfilled all the Old Testament Prophesies and was indeed the long expected Jewish Messiah. Winnie was also an accomplished poet and published numbers works including republishing her mother’s manual on how to write poetry, “Rhyme, Rhythm, and Diction” by Olivia Young. She and Harry traveled widely around the world and always wanted to explore new places. This March Harriet took her a “completion of life journey” to see family and friends in California and Nevada. The stress of the trip took a toll on her 98 year “Young” body and the “Energizer Bunny Batteries” finally ran down. She was a survivor to the end and an inspiration to all who met her. Winnie was predeceased by Brothers, George D. Young Junior, William Morehead Young, and Sister, Jean Lucille Greenshields. Winnie is survived by her younger brother Robert (Chris) Young, Temecula, CA, and younger sister, Marion Young, Ashland, OR, daughter, Harriet Young Priska, sons, John (Marjie) Washburn, Fresno, CA, and George (Marcia) Washburn, Des Moines, WA, and five grand children and eight great grand Children and many nieces and nephews. A celebration of her life will be held at the Escalante Baptist Church at 10 AM on Saturday, April 30th followed by a finger food potluck. In Lieu of Flowers, the family asks for donations to the: “Winnie Washburn Memorial for a Flag Pole honoring Veterans.” The flag pole will be erected in front of our new clinic here in town which was just completed last year.

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Pat and I just got back from our vacation to Southern California last night, so we have been out of the loop for a week, but here goes. The weather on our trip couldn’t have been better, with a high on Sunday of 88; kind of set the stage for the rest of the week, the low was 65, but that was at 12:30 in the morning and at the beach. We went down to rest up, but putting in 16 hour days doesn’t give much time for rest. One day we took the train from San Juan Capistrano to Santa Barbara, a 10 hour ride round trip, but it is relaxing watching the world go by. The train drops you off in Santa Barbara, between the pier and downtown. This time we went out on the pier first and it has a lot of history there, with the original pier being built in 1885. It is really a long pier and strong enough for motor vehicles to travel on. Unlike most of the piers that we have been on they only allow fishing out on the very end. There are a number of sea food restaurants there and a great candy store,that had some awesome licorice. I really like walking out on these piers it is like being out in the ocean and you are not getting wet. To go downtown we took the electric bus at a cost of 25

Stepping On Comes to Panguitch PANGUITCH - Stepping On, an evidence-based program proven to decrease the incidence of falls in senior citizens, has just finished its first Garfield County series in Escalante. Now the program is coming to senior citizens in Panguitch. Escalante participants were enthusiastic about the program, saying, "I've found how important strength and balance exercises are." "I've gained information about keeping my home safer, often by small changes." "I enjoy the exercises." And, "I understand how vision can influence getting around safely." The Panguitch program will be offered by the Panguitch Senior Center. Stepping On will help participants will learn to improve strength and balance, how to eliminate or avoid hazards, how to use products to improve safety and how to move about with greater confidence. All of us value our independence and Stepping On may help us keep it! This popular program was first developed in Australia and quickly moved to the United States and elsewhere in the world. Support for the program comes from private and public sources including the Utah Department of Health, the Center for Disease Control, and Five County Association of Governments. Open and FREE to those over 60, Stepping On has proven to be very effective in helping adults prevent falls. Participants should be living at home, be fearful of falling or have fallen in the last year, and not have dementia. The program runs for two hours once a week for seven weeks and includes some follow up. Stepping on is limited to 14 students. Classes begin at 1:00 p.m. On Wednesday, May 4th. Registration can be made by contacting the Panguitch Senior Center at 435676-1140, 87 North 40th West. Feel welcome to call with questions: 435-616-4891 or 435826-4498. —Panguitch Senior Center

cents and got a tip on the best fish and chips that I have ever eaten, even better than in London. The trip back down the coast was when the sun was setting, oh what a sight! It is nice to come into LA at night, that way you don’t see all of the graffiti all over the walls. We did go to Disneyland, however many of the sissy rides that we take were closed such as the train, Amazon ride, Indiana Jones and many of the others. They are building a new Star Wars area and these places are replacing some of the older events. However they haven’t lowered the cost, $95.00. We did stay for the light show and because this is Disney’s 60th year, they spent 6 million on making this the Parade of Lights on Steroids. The light show was worth the price of admission. We went down to San Diego to see where our Granddaughter Teah will be spending her next 3 years. The apartment she will be staying at is really something, 3 swimming pools, half mile running track and a 10,000 sq. foot weight room. We did meet up with some of our friends from our other life and also my niece who we haven’t seen in a few years. I see that a judge has ruled against the GOP on signature gathering to get your name on

the ballot, besides the caucuses method that is in place now. The GOP wants the courts to pay their legal fees for their law suit, because they say that the judge was biased against them, huh! We do a whole lot of driving and are real happy with the low gas prices, this last year, it has been a real blessing to fill up for under $30 bucks. For every blessing there is a down side and this down side far exceeded any saving that we got from cheap gas. Gas is figured in on the cost of living and those of us that are retired, lost any cost of living raises on Social Security. From my State Retirement which has a 2% cost of living annual raise it is also gone. For 24 years I have received the 2% raise and

it comes into effect as long as the cost of living stays above 1%, this year it was at .15% almost at break even. So be careful what you wish for, it might just bite you. On Saturday May 7th, at the Extended Care, residents are celebrating Mother’s Day with their families and friends. It will be held in the Long Term Care Day Room and start at 11:am. There will be a light lunch and a program. There is nothing that these residents like better than to have some one to stop by and say hello to them. They will be looking forward to seeing you.

Stargazing Tips by Linton Rohr

Interplanetary Dust… Illuminated The vast majority of Americans these days have never seen the Milky Way. Sad, but true. The proliferation of urban lighting over the last few decades – poorly designed, in many or most cases - has denigrated their night skies so badly that they can only see the brightest of the thousands of stars we see, let alone the diffuse glow of millions of unseen ones. We’re quite fortunate to live in one of the few regions of the country that is still essentially dark at night. So we’re used to seeing the Milky Way and most folks probably give it little thought. With that in mind, you might be surprised to learn that there’s a rare night sky phenomenon that’s even fainter and harder to see. That is, until you know what to look for. The months of spring are ideal for spotting the “zodiacal light”. I’ll bet a few of you have actually glimpsed it already, but didn’t realize what it was. It’s easily mistaken for twilight, but is quite different. Allow me to explain. If you’ll recall, the ecliptic is the imaginary line across the sky, on which the moon and planets appear to follow. It correlates to the plane of our solar system, on which the orbits of the planets lie. There are also asteroids, large and small, and even… dust. That’s right. Dust… from comets, asteroid collisions, and maybe even the wind from Wayne County. And the sunlight shining on the dust is scattered in all directions. After twilight fades into darkness, the reflected sunlight becomes visible for a while. It appears as a slender triangular glow (my wife likens the shape to a witches hat) pointing upward from the western horizon, on the same angle Photo by Yuri Beletsky at the Las Campanas as the ecliptic. The 12 zodiac constellations Observatory in Chile also lie on the ecliptic but, except for lending the name, they’re irrelevant. As the warm colors of sunset fade, the sky overhead and towards the east begins to turn dark. But the sky above the western horizon slowly fades to deeper shades of lingering blue. About 90 minutes after sunset, more or less, it will finally become apparent that twilight is actually gone. But right there where the sun earlier set, an ethereal glow remains. That surprisingly tall, lingering celestial glow is zodiacal light. As you continue looking, wondering if you’re really seeing the right thing, the sky all around continues getting darker, but the glow remains. It will remain for at least an hour, though it gradually fades as it sinks below the horizon. The same thing is visible in the autumn months, but it’s in the east, before sunrise. Its deceptive appearance has earned it the nickname “false dawn”. Come to think of it, that’s how I first noticed it. I was in the White Mountains on the California Nevada border, enjoying the Perseid meteor shower with a group of friends. On the way to my tent to retire for the night, I turned to take one last look at the beautiful sky. I noticed an ethereal glow in the east and - for a moment - thought I’d accidentally stayed up all night. It’s been known to happen. But a quick check showed that dawn was almost 2 hours away and I suddenly realized that I was finally seeing that which I’d only read about. Of course, you can’t just walk out of your brightly lit house and expect to see it. Your eyes need some time to adjust to the darkness. A moonless sky is also a prerequisite, although a thin crescent won’t interfere too much, once you know what you’re looking for. I’ve heard that in the very darkest of skies, the glow can reach all the way across to the eastern horizon… an entire zodiacal band. It sounds good in theory, but I’ve never seen it. Perhaps out in the middle of Australia, far from any lighting. A related phenomenon – the “gegenschein” (German for counter-glow) – is a large round glow, visible high in the midnight sky, directly opposite the sun. It’s more difficult to spot, and is easiest in winter months, so I’ll save that for a future article. The moon is waning now and rising much later, so the evening sky is dark for the next week or so. I hope you’re able to get out and see this eerie, somewhat magical occurrence. Yet another wonder to watch for, as the seasons change in the sky. For questions or comments: lintonius@scinternet.net

ever else comes along. We also welcomed greatgrandchild number eight, little Ruby Rae Frahm. She is the beautiful little daughter of Nick and Tommy Frahm. Stake Conference was very good this last weekend. In the general meeting all six bishops of the Escalante Stake spoke along with the Stake Presidency. At the Saturday meeting in Cannonville the speakers were Gary and Sandy Johnson and Brother and Sister Burgess who are on site missionaries at the Cedar City Temple. They are there to watch over the progress of the building of the Temple. During conference the Stake's Primary Children provided the music and they sounded fantastic. Curtis and Pauline Hansen are excited to welcome home their son, Tyler Hansen, who has been on a mission in Mexico. He will be home on the 28th and his Homecoming talk will be on the 15th of May in the Cannonville ward. His grandparents in Cannonville are Alma and Anita Fletcher. Glenna Fletcher and Anita Fletcher went to St. George to attend the Graveside Service for their uncle Elmer Cox. It was nice to see family and visit with them at this time. Afterwards Anita and Glenna visited with Bonnie Willis at the "Meadows" Assisted Living community. She is doing well and enjoys the environment at The Meadows. She would love to have visitors if you are ever in St. George with a minute or two to spare. Have a safe week and please call or email your news to me. Thanks VS

OBITUARIES James O. Henrie

LEHI - On April 21, 2016 James Orald Henrie, 89, passed away peacefully in Cedar Hills, Utah. The son of Nathaniel Orald and Ruth Heywood Henrie, Jim was born on August 4, 1926, in Panguitch, Utah. He loved Panguitch, where he had close family and friends who knew him as "Jimmy O". His life was abundantly blessed by five sisters. After serving honorably as a Navy Radioman during World War II, he fell in love and married a sweet redhead, Evelyn Joy Hamel, on June 19, 1947. Together they raised seven children: Diana Joy (Davis) Gardner, James Russell (Cynthia) Henrie, Bradley Kirk (Christine) Henrie, Gregory Orald (Sally) Henrie, Jenine (Brooke) Snarr, Laura (Paul) Wheelwright, and Ruth (Roger) Kaspar. He treasured them and the 31 grandchildren and 42 great-grandchildren they gave to him. After 61 years together, Evelyn passed away in 2008. On August 5, 2009, Jim married another vivacious redhead, Joan Redmond Kaylor, and she has been at his side ever since. Jim was a steadfast member of the LDS Church, and served in many capacities including bishop of the Canoga Park CA 2nd Ward and counselor in the presidencies of the Canoga Park CA and Richland WA Stakes. The most exciting church calling for Jim and Evelyn was to serve together as the first LDS missionaries on the island of Cyprus (January 1989 - August 1990). He received an MS in Civil Engineering from Utah State University in 1951, then moved to Southern California to work for North American Aviation, and subsequently was licensed as a Professional Nuclear Engineer. He was awarded several patents, including five related to hydrogen control systems. His hydrogenoxygen recombiners were used after the 3 Mile Island nuclear accident to remove the hydrogen "bubble" from the reactor containment vessel, thus eliminating the risk of explosion and spread of radioactivity. Jim loved to build, repair, and invent. He worked hard, played hard, and was thrifty and self-reliant, yet generous to his family and friends. He was also an avid hunter, fisherman, beekeeper, and vegetable gardener. He valued education and made sure that his progeny could obtain college degrees. The cabin Jim built at Panguitch Lake has been a hub of family activities for more than two decades and maintains a vital ancestral connection to Southern Utah. Jim is survived by his compassionate wife; his children and grandchildren; and beloved sisters: Kathryn Ipson and Irene Tebbs. He is preceded in death by his parents; Evelyn; and sisters: Louise Englestead, Jean Gottfredson, and Carol Dodds. Funeral services will be held April 30, 2016 at 11:00 am in the Panguitch 2nd Ward LDS Chapel, where friends may call from 9:00 - 10:30 a.m. Burial will be in the Panguitch Cemetery, with military rites by the Panguitch American Legion Post #25 and Utah Honor Guard. Funeral Directors: Magleby Mortuary, Richfield, Salina and Manti. Online guestbook at www.maglebymortuary.com

Working Out on a Budget? by Nathaniel Sillin

It's true–good health really does save money. A Towers Watson survey (https://www.towerswatson. com/en-US/Press/2012/11/ research-shows-preventionis-key-to-reducing-healthcare-costs-for-all-employees) noted that employee wellness programs saved employers an average of $100 in health care costs per worker. So if you're going to get healthy, do it the smart way and make wellresearched spending decisions throughout the year. Here are a few tips at the starting line. Do a little heavy lifting with your budget first. Whatever your goals, check your overall finances to see what bad health behaviors might be costing you now in terms of immediate everyday costs or long-term impact on medical bills. You might find that a successful fitness plan can return hundreds of dollars–and possibly thousands–to your budget. Pick a workout you like. If you loved swimming or jogging as a kid, such sports might be a good place to restart your fitness regimen. Restart your fitness habits modestly but consistently with activities you like. If they require a facility, test it out for a few days to comparison-shop. If they're offering specials, read the fine print carefully and try to stay away from long-term membership commitments if you can. Don't overlook your community. Check out taxpayersupported facilities and activities you're already paying for in your community to see what they offer. Community centers are great resources for inexpensive or free classes. You might be surprised how many free public tennis courts, swimming facilities and other recreational spaces are avail-

able in your city or town. Also take advantage of any regional, state or national parks that are near you. There's no greater motivation to stay active than getting outside. Find buddies. You've seen them when walking or driving past a park or other locations around town–people who run together, walk together or dance together. Joining a fitness group doesn't have to cost any money at all; you might make new friends and you'll hopefully challenge and keep each other motivated. You don't need all the latest gear. Unless you need specific clothes or equipment for protection or safety, raid your closet to save on your fitness plan. Keep it cheap and focus on improving your health. Consider setting workout milestones and reward yourself with a new purchase after hitting your goals. Adjust your commute. If you have access to public transportation, take the bus or train more often–you'll automatically walk more to and from your destinations. If you do drive, park at the farthest

end of the lot to add a short, cost-free workout into your daily schedule. Prepare your own meals. Working out is important to getting healthy, but eating properly can help you achieve results faster. One of the most effective ways to improve a diet–and save money while doing it–is resolving to prepare more meals at home (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/calculators/ lunch/). Also, commit to selecting more healthful options whether you are at home or dining out. There are almost limitless resources in libraries and online to learn about quick, healthy food preparation and smart food shopping. Bottom line: Working out on a budget doesn't always require added expenses. There are many inexpensive or free options to meet both health and financial goals in your neighborhood, at work and many other places. Nathaniel Sillin directs Visa's financial education programs.
