Wayne County Planning and Zoning Approves and Forwards Teasdale Gravel Pit Proposal to Commission

A Dreamy Night in Paris at the 2016 Wayne County High School Prom

On Saturday, April 23, 2016, Wayne High School Juniors, their dates, and their parents traveled to Paris!

WAYNE COUNTY The Prom committee created an Eiffel Tower, an "outdoor" street cafe, and a lovely Paris scene in the high school gymnasium. The Junior Class of 2016 danced to the Tim McGraw song, "When the Stars

Go Blue," and all students were able to dance with their parents after the floor show.

The royalty was announced as follows: Landon Chappell, King; MaKayla Brian, Queen; Conner Rees, 1st Attendant; Kolbi Clark, 1st

Attendant; Jaylon Jackson, 2nd Attendant, Kailee Blackburn, 2nd Attendant; and BrieAnne Jacobsen, Miss Congeniality.

Special thanks to parents, students, and advisors. ALSO...

We owe the great floor show and the superb dancing skills

Arbor Day Observed: Dixie National Forest Plants 98,633 Trees Restoring Wildfire Areas

Crews planting seedlings on Arbor Day to restore wildfire areas.

CEDAR CITY - Are you planting trees for Arbor Day? The Dixie National Forest has been observing both Arbor Day and Earth Day this April, planting 98,633 ponderosa tree seedlings to restore disturbed areas across the Forest.

The Dixie National Forest planted the ponderosa pine seedlings over the past three weeks on the Cedar City, Powell and Escalante Ranger Districts. The seed-

lings were planted in order to help revitalize areas where the forest is struggling to regrow an adequate number of trees following disturbance such as wildfire. On the Cedar City District, 52,770 ponderosa seedlings were planted within the 2012 Shingle Fire area. On the Powell Ranger District, 6,695 seedlings were planted in Ahlstrom Hollow and 39,168 trees in the Corn Creek area on the Escalante District,

to restore forest stands impacted by insects, disease, and wildfire.

While fire is beneficial to forests by reducing forest fuel build up and restoring nutrients to the soil, sometimes wildfires due to unnaturally high fuel loading and time of the year can burn very hot and very quickly through entire forest stands killing all or most of the trees and sterilizing soils. When this happens the natural spread of seeds and restoration of a healthy forest may take many years.

By planting seedlings, the regeneration process can be jumpstarted.

“Over the past five years, a half million trees have been planted on the Dixie to restore disturbed areas,” said Patrick Moore, Supervisory Forester.

The planting sites were selected due to the need to speed up forest regrowth after disturbance along with the accessibility for planting trees.

Funding for the project comes from a variety of generous

organizations including Utah Partners for Conservation and Development, American Forests, USFS Region 4, and USFS State and Private Forestry – Forest Health Protection.

When planting the seedlings, the contracted tree planters dig a small hole with a hoedad, place the seedling in the hole, bury the root of the seedling, and then compact the dirt to ensure the seedling doesn’t become uprooted.

The reforestation from these tree plantings provides numerous benefits. More than 160 million Americans have healthy, clean drinking water thanks to our life-giving Forests. Our Forests clean our air, absorb carbon dioxide, provide vital habitat for wildlife, and create jobs.

to many of the tribe's ancestors.

"The reason why these areas are so important to us is that it allows us to reconnect to our history," he explains. "Our history is passed orally, and a lot of our prayers and history comes through in certain terms we don't always understand."

The region contains massive red rock canyons, high mesas, and more than 100,000 Native American archaeological and cultural sites.

However, Bowekaty says it remains largely unprotected and is threatened by looting and off-road vehicle damage.

Local Citizen Scientists Monitor Sky Quality

Citizen scientists working on last year's montioring.

The Bears Ears formation peeks over the highway in this sparsely populated part of South Eastern Utah near Blanding and at at the base of the Abajo Mountains.

The coalition's effort took a major step toward its goal this week when Interior Secretary Sally Jewell announced she would visit Bears Ears and confer with tribes and local citizens about its importance.

At 7:10 PM the commission announced the meeting would proceed in closed session to discuss legal issues and pending litigation and the meeting room was immediately cleared of all observers.

The public meeting was reopened at approximately 7:45 PM. A short discussion commenced regarding the Utah Division of Air Quality's use of air quality monitoring sensors, but the discussion soon drifted into general confusion about the validity and use of the data collected and was soon ended.

A motion to approve BBC's application for a zoning variance from Residential/ Agricultural designation to Industrial was seconded and approved, and will be forwarded to the Wayne County Board of Commissioners (BOC).

A short discussion commenced regarding the wording and stipulations contained in the Conditional Use Permit (CUP), but was quickly terminated by an announcement by the P&Z commission chairman that a copy of the CUP would be available at a later unspecified date from the BOC. Attorney McCartney then brought up the existence of an "anonymous" letter con-

Tribal Coalition Seeks Monument Status for Bears Ears Region MONTICELLO - A coalition of Native American tribes is calling on the Obama administration to designate the Bears Ears region of southern Utah as a national monument.

The Bears Ears InterTribal Coalition is seeking to protect the area, which the coalition says has significant cultural and historic meaning.

The coalition includes the Hopi Tribe, Navajo Nation, Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, Pueblo of Zuni and Ute Indian Tribe.

WAYNE COUNTY Wayne County's Planning and Zoning board met on Wednesday, April 27 to discuss a gravel pit application

by Brown Brothers Construction, proposed for location in Teasdale on land administered

by Utah's School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA).

The meeting convened promptly at 7 PM. Commissioner Lisa Crane was absent; all other commissioners were present, as was the commission secretary Colleen Allen and Wayne county attorney LeEllen McCartney. A representative from SITLA was in attendance but did not introduce himself or speak. Six or seven representatives of Brown Brothers Construction (BBC) were in attendance.

Approximately 35 local residents attended; several observed from the adjoining hallway due to a lack of available seating. The commission refused to expand the seating area citing concern for courtroom security.

Attorney McCartney announced the court had denied an application for a temporary restraining order that would have postponed the meeting and that the meeting could proceed.

A motion to approve the minutes of the previous meeting was seconded and approved.

TORREY - You’re invited to help monitor night sky quality in the TeasdaleTorrey-Grover triangle on Saturday May 7. Entrada Institute board members, staff from Capitol Reef National Park, along with community members interested in the night sky will use a variety of fascinating data collection devices to gather data. Every six months, information is recorded from the same five locations and added to a database.

The group will meet around 9:30PM on May 7 at the home of Gary Pankow in Teasdale (S 2nd St E & E Rustler Street; 2 blocks east of the Post Office). At 10:00PM those interested in gathering data will carpool to five locations measuring the brightness of the night sky along with collecting information such as

temperature, wind speed, and barometric pressure.

People of all ages are invited to participate. The monitors are easy to use and we’ll work in small groups.

No skills are needed to join the fun. Come celebrate the National Park Service’s 100th anniversary, support Capitol Reef National Park’s designation as a Gold-Tier International Dark Sky Park, and become part of an exciting local citizen science project.

The equipment for this project was purchased through a grant from The Outdoor Foundation. Although biannual events are held each Spring and Fall, the equipment is available for community projects throughout the year.

An open letter to Brown Brothers Brown Brothers has been a strong company in our community for many years, perhaps by sharing some of your business, the public can make some informed opinions. Most of the information I have been receiving is second or third party, not always accurate.

Some transparency on your part would shed some light on the uproar in your community.

• What will be produced at the site? Sand &

gravel? Crushing? Concrete batch plant? Asphalt?

• How many new jobs / FTEs will be created?

• What is the anticipated length of time this project will be in effect?

• Water, is it readily available?

• Power, is it readily available?

• Will there be lights? We are a Gold Standard Night Sky Region.

• Will there be buildings?

Rest room? Portapotty?

• Will the fuel, oil & hydraulic fluids be stored in an environmentally safe manor?

• Will there be settling basins for runoff so that the water does not go directly into the Fremont River?

• What is planned to combat the constant wind & dust?

• Will an escrow account be set up for land reclamation after the lease is finished?

• Is the Teasdale Bench road able to accommodate the truck traffic? Who will pay for the upkeep?

• Will any of the product go out of the county?

An open dialogue with your neighbors in Teasdale / Torrey will help all of Wayne County.

Thank You, Gary Pankow, Teasdale

In life, there is usually opposition in all things. Everyone has a right to their opinion, and we don't always agree. If everyone respected that people are entitled to their opinions, there wouldn't be so much hate and discontent in this world. However, a lot of the time, people think that they can convince you to change your opinion by speaking more loudly than anyone else, by harassment, bullying, threatening, vandalism, lawsuits, "digging up dirt" on other people and revealing it, using emotional warfare and speculation, spreading rumors, giving misinformation, writing articles that have not been fact checked in the slightest, to name a few. Usually the loudest voices represent the minority or a special interest group, because the majority doesn't want to cause problems and are busy with so many things in their lives that they remain silent. They don't have the time or inclination to dedicate all their time to opposing issues.

If you don't believe that many of these tactics outlined above have been utilized recently in our own community, I wanted to let you know that a threatening letter was sent to Brown Brothers Construction, each member of the Planning and Zoning Committee, and each County Commissioner.

This letter outlined that all these things would be done if the gravel pit was approved. The opposition would say that they think it is terrible and wasn't them. However, it is obvious that this letter was written by someone opposing the gravel pit. I would even bet that many of the opposition actually know who sent the anonymous and cowardly letter. Is this what we have to look forward to in the future, additional litigation, threats, harassment and vandalism against anyone who has a different opinion or cause than the opposition?

There have been many comments and letters written and published by the opposition. They are hoping that because of sheer volume that they

will be the loudest voice. However, there were just as many if not more people who sent in comments in approval of the gravel pit, than there were that opposed. Because their concerns didn't result in a denial of the gravel pit, they say that nobody is listening to their concerns. Your concerns have been noted and listened to; there are just as many concerns on the other side that were duly noted.

They say that the "locals" are causing an unfortunate divide with the "moveins" and that saddens them. That is not the divide happening here. The divide is being caused by the opposition. Because our opinion differs from theirs, we don't have the "spirit of fellowship." They claim that they care about the health, safety, and welfare of the whole community and County.

Then they contradict themselves by saying they only care about their own health, safety, and welfare. How? According to them, a gravel pit will cause irreparable damage to the land, their health, their property values, their safety, their children, etc., but they don't care if a pit gets put somewhere else in the County as long as it isn't in Teasdale and Torrey. This small group of people in opposition, think that they are an island unto themselves that should be treated differently than everyone else. They don't care about how it affects anybody else, just about how it affects them. That is very sad and extremely divisive!

Brown Brothers Construction has tried to stay neutral and professional. They have respected the opinions of others and have withstood the mudslinging and name calling that has been employed by the opposition.

Because they want a gravel pit and you don't, all of sudden they are "un-neighborly". There are only three individuals that have even attempted to talk to them.

The opposition has heard what they have said, but it doesn't fit their agenda, so they misrepresent facts—Citizens in Teasdale have been fed wrong information in order to get signatures in

opposition. When those citizens discovered the truth, they asked for their names to be removed.

Their request was denied. One of the opposition approached a local contractor recently about putting a pit on their land as they would make money off the royalties. The local contractor found that it wasn't a viable source of material for a pit. Now that person is strongly opposing this gravel pit saying it will do irreparable harm. Why would you want a pit on your own land if pits do irreparable harm? Oh, because that fit your agenda of making money. This is hypocrisy at its finest!

Brown Brothers has repeated numerous times that they will not utilize lights or operate at night. Therefore, the Night Skies would not be ruined. Everyone will still be able to enjoy them. That doesn't fit the opposition's agenda though, so articles are written and published claiming that the Night Skies will be ruined by a gravel operation.

Brown Brothers Construction has also told the County and the public that they have considered other locations for a gravel pit. Some private land owners do not want a pit on their property, some private property and SITLA lands don't have viable sources of gravel. Another consideration that goes into choosing gravel pit locations is logistics. Contractors choose pits that are close in proximity to jobsites. This cuts down on costs and allows contractors to be more competitive in their bidding. The opposition thinks that the community is being torn apart by this location choice on Teasdale Bench because they don't want to acknowledge or accept these facts. Because it doesn't fit the opposition's agenda, they want everyone to believe that Brown Brothers chose this location to cause "industrial destruction". Ridiculous!

A recent article in the Salt Lake Tribune was misleading when it was insinuated that Brown Brothers Construction was going to close down their Loa pit and move into the grav-

el pit on Teasdale Bench. This is a fallacy. They do not plan to shut down the Loa pit until it is mined out. This could be 6 months from now, 5 years from now, or 20 years from now. It all depends on demand for resources and jobs nearby. Both pits will remain active. They also have three other active pits in the State of Utah. Those locations were also chosen because they were viable sources of material and were in close proximity to job sites.

I am a farmer and have been for many years and generations. When farmers harrow, it creates dust. Farmers are not held to the same high standards for dust control that Brown Brothers is. Farmers do not have to use water or another means to keep dust down. I am definitely not saying that they should. I simply think it is interesting that members of the opposition who are farmers in the Teasdale Torrey area have no problem with creating dust from harrowing and possibly producing these "toxins" into the air that they accuse Brown Brothers of doing with a crushing operation.

They don't even have a problem with kicking up so much dust that it inhibits visibility of motorists travelling along SR 24 or the Night Skies. Why is it okay for them to justify doing this when it is farming but say that it isn't okay to have a gravel pit?

Again, it is hypocrisy at work!

I have also heard that the opposition thinks that the gravel pit will ruin the Tour of Utah.

That is also false. The route for the Tour of Utah is certainly not on the road to this gravel pit, nor through the gravel pit. Also, traffic is completely stopped for the Tour of Utah. It doesn't matter whether you are driving a truck hauling gravel, a car, or a bicycle not participating in the Tour of Utah, ALL traffic is stopped. Therefore, the Tour of Utah will not be hindered by this gravel pit operation.

I, like many others, have sat back and watched these proceedings. I know that everyone thinks and feels differently. I don't like to rock the boat normally, and I certainly don't want to experience the backlash that comes with expressing an opinion. However, in this matter, I cannot sit idly by anymore. I think that we all need to rise up and let our opinions be heard.

The opposition certainly isn't shy about doing so.

My ancestors would have loved to have a little gravel on their roads back when they settled this area. And yes, Gary and Janeen, we did have a pool hall on Loa Main Street 60 years ago, but it went belly up!

Quit the dishonesty, litigation, threatening, and harassing! We are onto the tactics that you use and have now revealed them. Do as you say, and fight for the rights of the ENTIRE community instead of for your own selfish interests. Stop the divide and insanity! There will be no peace and respect until you do so. I will respect your opinion, please do the same instead of setting out to destroy businesses, infrastructure, progress, and people's personal lives.

Nor would she entertain further discussion of the letter despite numerous requests from various attendees. The issue remains a curiosity. (Despite the fact that the commission had admittedly received in excess of 100 letters from local residents expressing various environmental, health and safety concerns associated with gravel mining and rock crushing operations adjacent to residential communities, none were discussed.)

At 8:00 PM the committee chairman announced the discussion of the proposed zoning change was terminated.

& Sports Thank you, GCSD I would like to begin by publicly thanking the Garfield County School Board for offering me the superintendent position five years ago. The Board has been instrumental in correcting the financial shortfalls, adopting policies, increasing student safety, providing needed resources to teachers, and increasing the overall educational process across the district. Personally, I would like to thank GCSB, teachers, staff, community members, and students for the opportunity I have had the past five years to be the superintendent of the Garfield County School District. My family has also supported me through this superintendency, to which I'm truly grateful. With every person, there is a season, a beginning, and an end. As such, I have chosen to tenure my resignation as superintendent of the GCSD to accept the superintendent position in the Kane County School District beginning July 1, 2016. After careful thought and consideration, Melinda and I believe this change in employment is the best thing for our family at this time. Please do not speculate, place blame, or try to read more into this statement than needs to be. Simply, we believe it is the right decision for our family at this time, nothing more.

I would be ungrateful if I did not thank each of you for your support of my family and me.

Thank you to the teachers and coaches who have taught my children and have been such positive role models in their lives. Thanks to our personal friends who have allowed us into your groups and made us feel part of the community. The community of Panguitch has welcomed my family with open arms, to which I'm forever grateful. I would like to extend a special thanks to those individuals in the district office who have worked side by side with me each day and helped to train me in this difficult position. I may be leaving this position, but plan to take the friendships we have made with us.

Thank you for allowing me the privilege of being the superintendent of the Garfield County School District. It has been a pleasure working with such wonderful individuals as yourselves.

Classroom Grant Opportunity for Teachers SALT LAKE CITY - As recipients of the Utah STEM Action Center’s PreK-12 Classroom Grant, Da Vinci Academy kindergarten students released trout they have raised from eggs into the Ogden River on April 29.

The eggs, originally delivered in January by the environmental education program “Trout in the Classroom,” have been cared for by students of Eleanor Sather, a kindergarten teacher at Da Vinci Academy. The project has included regular trips to the release site throughout the school year for students to make observations about weather and other environmental changes as part of their sciences studies. “‘Trout in the Classroom’ has transformed the way our kindergarten kids think about the river we visit weekly, about how fish grow and behave, and why it's so important to keep our waterways clean,” Sather said. “Conservation isn't an abstract concept to these 40 children; it's highly personal.

These are their fish going into their river. I never imagined the impact raising trout from eggs would have on the kids.

The effect has been profound and moving.”

These projects focus on classroom-level instruction that is unique to the needs of the students.

The Classroom Grant has funded more than 70 projects during the 2015-2016 school year, with $80,000 providing opportunities for nearly 7,000 students across the state.

“We are so excited to see how the classroom grant program is helping teachers implement creative STEM learning opportunities,” said Kellie Yates, program and engagement specialist at the Utah

STEM Action Center. “The grant program was developed to help support these types of experiences, which really help students see how STEM subjects are exciting, relevant and within any student’s reach.”

Wills, Trusts, and More Finding and Keeping an Estate Planning Attorney

Let’s be honest, finding and keeping an estate planning attorney may not be as important a priority to many people as finding a good hair dresser or excellent barber.

For one thing, you will likely see your hair dresser or barber a hundred times more often than your estate planning attorney. However, when it comes to the magnitude of the task, I think most will agree that chopped up hair will grow back, but a mistake in your will or trust could have a negative impact on everything you’ve worked for throughout your life.

So what should you look for in an estate planning attorney? Here are a few key points.

First, we will start with

by JeFFery J. mCKeNNa the obvious, but not always followed criteria. You want someone that knows and is experienced in this specific area of the law. You want someone that has specific experience with the drafting of wills, trusts, and the administration of estates. The attorney should be very experienced in this area, or she should work closely with those in her firm who are experienced.

Second, you want someone that is good at explaining and teaching estate planning concepts. You must feel comfortable asking questions. The attorney must treat you like you are his employer. It is much more difficult to ask questions if you feel like the attorney is looking down on you, as opposed to someone that appreci-

It was the first camping experience for Jed. As soon as he had pitched his tent, he went for a hike in the woods. In about fifteen minutes he rushed back into camp, bleeding and dishevelled.

"What happened?" asked a fellow camper.

"I was chased by a black snake!" cried the frightened Jed. The camper laughed and retorted, "A black snake isn't deadly."

"Listen," groaned Jed, "He is if he can make you jump off a fifty-foot cliff!"

I recently returned to work after a year abroad with the Army Reserve. On my first day back, a visitor from headquarters took me aside.

"How are you?" he asked, looking concerned. "Do you feel all right?"

"I'm fine," I replied, nonplussed.

"Great!" he said. "I heard that you were away from work for a year because you were in a wreck."

It took a minute before it dawned on me what he meant.

"Iraq," I said finally. "I've just come back from Iraq."

Third, once you find the right attorney, how do you keep him or her? Here is a concern difficult to solve. The only thing constant in life is change.

Attorneys retire and relocate.

Hopefully, you selected an attorney that is part of an established firm and others in the firm will be able to take your file and continue to be there to assist you and your family.

Answers for this week

What a Gas

At the gas utility where I work, written orders are issued to change meters when they are old or malfunctioning. On the order sheet is a "remarks" section, where the service representative notes any problems that prevented the job from being completed.

The most succinct explanation to ever come back was: "DOG DOES NOT WANT METER TO BE CHANGED."

Victory!

A new minister was talking to the oldest member of his congregation.

"I am 95 years old, sir, and I haven't an enemy in the world," said the aged one.

"That is a beautiful thought," said the clergyman approvingly.

"Yes sir," was the answer.

"I'm thankful to say that I've outlived them all."

Artful Dodge

A pick pocket was appearing in court for a series of petty crimes.

"Mr. Brewster," the Judge said, "you are hereby found guilty and fined the sum of $150."

After consulting with his client, Mr. Brewster's lawyer stood up and said, "Your Honor, my client is a little short at this time. He has only $125 in his pocket, but if you would allow him a few minutes in the crowd..."

Shool Bus

When he was ready, my grandson could hardly wait for his first day of school.

That morning, he waited anxiously with his mother for the bus to arrive, then started up the stairs as soon as the bus pulled up and the doors opened.

With tears in her eyes, his mother said, "What about a kiss?"

He stopped, retraced a few steps, then promptly kissed the bus driver before he took a seat.

FYI PANGUITCH

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Have you started to grow webs between your toes yet?

Aren’t these April showers wonderful? I have been trying to mow my lawn since we got back off vacation and the rain has giving me great excuses to shine it on. However if it gets too much longer I am going to have to get one of the farmers to come in to cut it down.

Went to the City Council Meeting last Tuesday to hear why they were transferring funds from the water department to the general fund, to change out the lighting system throughout the City. There were quite a few questions on why the City raised the water rates, if there was so much money in the account. The lighting system will save the City considerable amounts of money on their electric bill.

It was suggested from the audience that this should be a loan and that the saving on the lighting should go back into the water deparment till the loan was paid off, I believe that motion was made and that seemed to satisfy the audience.

I stayed to the end of the meeting to complain about the yellow slip from some company wanting the citizens to fill out their survey which had bogus numbers on it. I spent 20 minutes trying to bring it up on the computer and then I gave it to my daughter to see if any of her students could bring up the

survey, because those kids are a lot smarter on the computer than I am, to no avail. I ask the Council why didn’t they send out the survey instead of the yellow slip and I was told that they forgot that there are 10% of the people in town that don’t run their life through their iPhone and it was right there on Facebook, excuse me! I doubt that many of the 40% of the retired folks that live here filled out that survey.

One thing that really disturbed me, was that a month ago at the council meeting a group of people came out in support of Trudy Owens who wants to keep the swimming pool money in its own account and the Council voted to do so on a 4 to 1 vote. Now one month later this money is again being attacked, they want to use the money to buy a backhoe. Again I hope that those folks that attended the last meeting will show up again, there are a couple people on the Council that don’t want a pool, because they wouldn’t use it and maybe their taxes might go up.

Panguitch is having a blood drive on Tuesday May 10 at the Stake center in Panguitch and it will run from 1:30 to 7pm. Call Jennifer Bremner for an appointment @ (435) 690-1050.

Sunday is Mothers Day, so spend the week going out of

your way to treat your Mother or the Mother of your children like the Queen that she is.

There may be a new store owner in town, hopefully in a couple of weeks I will get more information, these are local folks, so keep your fingers crossed.

We are going tripping again next week so unless something comes up in this week there won’t be an FYI column next week. We are going down to Lima Peru to pick our Granddaughter Teah, who has completed her last rotation in Medical School and will graduate from the University of Washington Medical School at the end of May. Teah went to Peru to learn how to deliver babies and she is sure getting a lot of experiences. The first two weeks she delivered 17 babies by C section and now

she is doing normal deliveries.

Shawn, her mother got some great pictures of her delivering a baby, oh the wonders of the iPhones.

Teah has our trip planed out and we are going to Machu Picchu via Cusco. Cusco is the highest City in the world at over 11,000 feet. Hopefully we will be able to get something for altitude sickness at the Panguitch Drug. South America is the only continent that we haven’t been on and I am really looking forward to this trip. Lima is on the coast and it is really beautiful and two million people live there.

It is Fall in Peru so I hope we will be warm enough.

If my mother had stayed in Panguitch she would have turned 114 this year.

KNOCK-OUT

SALT LAKE CITY, USDA is making up to $44 million available to farmers, ranchers and businesses to develop new bio-based products and expand markets through the Value-Added Producer Grant program.

“America’s farmers are no strangers to entrepreneurship,” said Dave Conine, State Director for Rural Development in Utah, “Programs like USDA’s Value-Added Producer Grant are an excellent tool in assisting our local producers gain a competitive edge in the marketplace by reducing the risk involved in innovation and product exploration.”

Value-Added Producer Grants may be used to develop new products and create additional uses for existing ones.

Priority for these grants is given to veterans, members of socially disadvantaged groups, beginning farmers and ranchers, and operators of smalland medium-sized family farms and ranches. Additional priority is given to applicants

who seek funding for projects that will create or increase marketing opportunities for these types of operators.

Since 2009, USDA has awarded 1,126 Value-Added Producer Grants totaling $144.7 million. In 2015, USDA Rural Development awarded one Value-Added Producer Grant in Utah. $250,000 was awarded to Wall Brothers, Inc., intended to help the family-owned business create new products from the apples they produce.

More information on how to apply is on page 20607 of the April 8 Federal Register.

The deadline to submit paper applications is July 1, 2016.

Electronic applications submitted through grants.gov are due June 24, 2016. Interested parties in Utah may contact Barry Christensen with questions or for application information at barry.christensen@ ut.usda.gov or (435) 2838004, ext. 107.

Education Foundation.

According to a 2015 study

by GOBankingrates.com, 62 percent of Americans don’t have enough savings to handle the unexpected bumps of life, such as emergency hospital visits or expensive car repairs.

Luckily, more parents are talking to their kids about savings and finances. Parents can follow these five simple steps to educate children about finances at home: Set Goals. Help your child set short-term and long-term goals so they can learn how to save money they earn through chores, receive as gifts, or get through an allowance.

Start Talking. When your children hear you generally discuss bills, loans, and checking accounts, they can learn the roles money plays in our lives.

Talk to them about your expe-

riences with money — even your mistakes.

Teach the Uses of Money.

Teach your children the four uses of money: spending, saving, giving and investing. Help them allocate their money into those categories.

Keep Track. Children learn visually, so you may want to create a system that will allow them to watch their money grow as they save. Clear glass or plastic jars work well.

Explain Wants and Needs.

Teach children the difference between the things they need and the things they want, and the value of saving and budgeting. There can be real-life consequences when these differences and values are not understood.

Tim Feltner, who teaches high school engineering and is a bishop for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has invented a device that could replace manual treatments for kids with cystic fibrosis, making their lives and their parents' lives easier, he said. Tim is the son of Lamar and Cheri Feltner of Tropic Utah. In the quaint kitchen of his Harrisville home Tim Feltner cooks up sweetness. For 10 years he and his family have been stirring up the same recipe, but now it has a vital purpose, and the secret ingredient is love. Emory Knighton, is Tim and Kris Feltner's granddaughter, and "She was diagnosed at three weeks," said Kaylee Knighton, the Feltner's daughter, and Emory's mother. The toddler has cystic fibrosis, an incurable disorder that damages the lungs and digestive system. Her twicedaily percussive treatments (more when she's sick) break up the mucus and keep her healthy. Soon she'll be old enough for an expensive vest that does the percussive treatment automatically. By selling caramels, the Feltners have

raised enough money to pay for the vest, Emory's monthly prescriptions and then some.

They lost another granddaughter a while back to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, little Kimber Christensen was the reason for the name for the caramels the Feltner's make and sell to get help for children and their families. So if you see "Kimber's Karamel's" where you shop your purchase goes towards helping children everywhere.

Tim is quite an inventor as he is the maker of a piece of equipment called a "Knee Jack" that helps people who have had knee replacement surgery be able to bend and kneel on their knee. Way to go Tim and we are all proud to say we know you and your family. Tim's wife, Kris, is the granddaughter of Helma Haas of Tropic. Great family. His family thinks of him as a superman but he just says they're

my life. When you are handed lemons you make caramels.

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts. ~Washington Irving A mom’s hug lasts long after she lets go.

Secretary Jewell Announces Nearly $95 Million in Funding for all 50 States Through the Land and Water Conservation Fund

WASHINGTON – U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell has announced nearly $95 million will be distributed from the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) to all 50 states, U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia to support conservation and recreation projects in local communities. The funds, which are generated out of a portion of the lease revenue from offshore oil and gas development, support state-identified and community-supported projects that create jobs, contribute to local economies and grow outdoor recreational opportunities in virtually every county across the country.

Jewell made the funding announcement ahead of a major address on conservation at the National Geographic Society where she plans to outline the need for a course correction in order to ensure healthy lands, water and wildlife for the next century of American con-

servation.

“This highly successful national program has set aside local green spaces, built neighborhood baseball fields and boat docks, preserved some of our most hallowed grounds, and provided funding to construct and maintain trails and access points for many of our public lands and waters,” Secretary Jewell said. “While Congress temporarily reauthorized the successful 50-year program, President Obama and his Administration have asked for full, dedicated funding and permanent reauthorization of the Land and Water Conservation Fund, investing a small portion of revenue from oil and gas extraction back into our lands and waters for the benefit and enjoyment of all Americans, now and for future generations.”

A state-by-state list of the fiscal year 2016 stateside funding allocation is available here.

“Since 1965, the Land and Water Conservation Fund has,

through the National Park Service, provided states, territories, and the District of Columbia with more than $4 billion– leveraging more than $8 billion in matching local public and private investment – to fund more than 43,000 projects to create close-to-home parks and expand outdoor recreation facilities and opportunities for public enjoyment,” National Park Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis said. “It’s been our distinct honor to facilitate the LWCF program and we continue that tradition with today’s funding.”

The LWCF was established by Congress in 1965 to ensure access to outdoor recreation resources for present and future generations, and to provide money to federal agencies and state and local governments to purchase land, water, and wetlands for the benefit of all Americans. Funds are awarded through federal matching grants that leverage public and private investment and enable state and

OBITUARIES John Farrell 1945-2016

PANGUITCH - Our beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather and adoptive grandfather passed away, peacefully surrounded by loved ones on Tuesday, April 26, 2016, after a terrible battle with heart failure. He was born September 24, 1945 in New York to Anna Gouldsbury-Farrell and Thomas Farrell.

John was a wonderful man with a kind and giving heart. He was the kind of person who would give you the shirt off his back if he thought you needed it. He served in the U.S. Navy and was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We loved John so very much, and he will be deeply missed.

We loved his New York accent, and easy laugh. He often told his grandkids to “stay smooth” and spoiled them every chance he got. He was the greatest little league fan in Panguitch and rarely missed a game.

Although he would have liked more time here on Earth, he was looking forward to reuniting with his sweet wife Doris who passed away July 28, 2015.

John is survived by: John and Robert Farrell (his sons), Johnny (brother), William (brother), Linda (sister), Carol (sister), Kelly (niece), Anna (niece), Cade and Kim Harland (adoptive kids), and four adopted grandkids (Cole, Kadee, Brooklyn and Bryce).

John was preceded in death by: Doris DePontes-Farrell (wife), Thomas Farrell (brother), Robert Farrell (brother), and Anna (sister).

We love you John!
