"Joel's Wish" Fundraiser to Travel Through Panguitch, Escalante and Hanksville

Cyclist Kyle Williams and supporters of Joel's Wish USA at the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. The U.S. leg of Joel's Wish will begin in Eureka, Nevada on Tuesday, April 28, and will arrive in Panguitch on Saturday, May 2. On Sunday, May 3 Kyle will cycle to Escalante, and on Monday May 4 he will depart Escalante for Hanksville. For more information about Joel's Wish and the travel itinerary, visit www.joelswish.org. ESCALANTE - Starting on April 28, Kyle Williams will be cycling 4,000 miles across America for Joel's Wish, USA. Joel’s Wish provides relief and assistance for 19-30 year olds with a life-limiting cancer diagnosis. It was founded in 2010 after Joel Lawrence, of Ludlow, in the United Kingdom, tragically passed away from stomach cancer at the age of just nineteen. A cancer diagnosis, especially a terminal one, is difficult at any age. Just imagine how devastating it is for a young person and the immediate family, when financial and time constraints make it very hard to cope with the need to

travel 60 miles each way for treatment. Joel’s illness and death highlighted a serious lack of support available to him and his family during this extremely difficult time. It was Joel’s dying wish for funds to be raised for young cancer sufferers and the Severn Hospice in Shrewsbury, UK, whose Hospice at Home looked after him during his final days and provided his main support. Joel’s Wish (a charity registered in 2014) helps with grants for travel and accommodation which can be found nowhere else within the UK. Joel’s friends and family have been involved in numerous fundraising events over

the past four years. Joel’s friend, Kyle Williams has already cycled to the south of France and Joel’s parents have run marathons in memory of their son to raise funds and awareness. Now, Kyle Williams is preparing a US fundraising leg on behalf of Joel's Wish. Kyle is preparing to cycle across America to make the trip that Joel always dreamed of. He will be supported by three other young men (driving a support vehicle and cycling part of the 4,000 mile trip with him). They will use Joel’s story to inspire other communities into a global network, ensuring everybody receives the support they rightly deserve, during

PAGE, AZ – A new National Park Service (NPS) report shows that over 2.4 million people visited Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and Rainbow Bridge National Monument in 2014, a 15% increase over 2013. Visitors spent over $155 million in communities near the park. That spending supported 2,218 jobs in the local area and had a cumulative benefit to the local economy of over $175 million. “The upswing in visitation affirms the significant role that the NPS plays in drawing tourism which drives the local economy, said Superintendent Todd Brindle. “We are delighted to introduce visitors from around the world to the Colorado Plateau and all that it offers. We appreciate the partnership and support of our neighbors and are glad to be able to give back by helping to sustain local communities.� National park tourism is also a significant driver in the national economy, returning $10 for every $1 invested in the National Park Service. The peer-reviewed visitor spending analysis was conducted by U.S. Geological Survey economists Catherine Cullinane Thomas and Christopher Huber and National

Park Service economist Lynne Koontz. The report shows $15.7 billion of direct spending by 292.8 million park visitors in communities within 60 miles of a national park. This spending supported 277,000 jobs nationally; 235,600 of those jobs are found in these gateway communities. The cumulative benefit to the U.S. economy was $29.7 billion. According to the 2014 report, most park visitor spending was for lodging (30.6 percent) followed by food and beverages (20.3 percent), gas and oil (11.9 percent), admissions and fees (10.2 percent) and souvenirs and other expenses (9.9 percent).

That spending supported 4,983 jobs in the local area and had a cumulative benefit to the local economy of $433.8 Million. “For 2014, Zion saw another record year in visitation with almost 3.2 million visitors and for the first quarter of this year, visitation continues on a pace to exceed last year’s annual attendance,� said Superintendent Jeff Bradybaugh. “Our busy season now starts March 1st and lasts through mid-November which during peak periods provides capacity challenges for the park. With the help of area businesses, park partners and local governments we work together to meet these challenges and to provide a safe and enjoyable visit to Zion National Park.� “Bryce Canyon National Park’s visitation was 9.4% higher in 2014 compared to 2013,� added Superintendent Lisa Eckert. “The State of Utah’s Mighty Five Campaign has been extremely successful at marketing the parks nationally and internationally.

National park tourism is a significant driver in the national economy, returning $10 for every $1 invested in the National Park Service, and specifically, a big factor in our local economy. In 2014, visitors to Pipe Spring spent approximately $3 million in the local communities of the Reservation, Fredonia, Arizona, and Kanab, Utah.

Utah's Hunger Issues Persist, Despite Economic Recovery PROVO - Despite the economic recovery, one in seven people - or 15 percent of Utahns - live with hunger on an ongoing basis, according to a new report from the Food Research and Action Center. Myla Dutton is executive director of he Community Action Services and Food Bank in Provo. She says many of the organization's clients are families in which one or both parents are working multiple low-wage, part-time jobs, and still can't get by. "More people with two or three part-time jobs, more of that than in the last seven or eight years," she points out. "Families with a couple of children - it's really tough." The report determines food hardship as people not having enough money at some point in the year to buy food for themselves or their families. Utah ranks 36th among states in the report, which says Mississippi, Louisiana, and West Virginia have the nation's highest rates of food hardship. —Troy Wilde, Utah News Connection

Capitol Reef International Dark Sky Park Congratulations to the Capitol Reef staff for earning the Dark Sky Park designation from the International Dark-Sky Association! The Colorado Plateau is one of only a few regions in the entire nation that have not been impacted by excessive and/or poorly designed outdoor lighting. Sadly, the majority of Americans have never even seen the Milky Way. I’ve personally witnessed many people at public star parties pointing out the “approaching clouds”, when it’s actually the Milky Way rising. They are stunned when I tell them that it’s another spiral arm of our own galaxy! Having lived under the bright lights of L.A. for 30 years, I routinely drove an hour or two with my telescope, just to get to reasonably dark skies for a night of observing. Both amateur astronomers and casual stargazers along the Wasatch Front are quite familiar with that situation. I’m thrilled to be able to step outside now, here in Torrey, and look up at the brilliant sky in all it’s glory. The Milky Way and other features are easily visible. The starry night sky is one of the most amazing aspects of creation, whether gazed at with the naked eye or studied through a telescope. I hope that Wayne and Garfield County residents and businesses will join the park’s effort to protect and preserve our precious heritage. Linton Rohr, Torrey

Some Good Points

In his letter to the editor Mr. Van Dyke made some good points and was quite correct about the importance of giving credit, where due, to the source of one’s words. However on Mr. Dorsey’s behalf, everyone who knows him, and that’s probably everyone in several counties, surely understood that Mr. Dorsey was not intending to pass himself off as a psychologist or author of these ideas, but was simply passing on information he thought would be of interest and value to folks. Like Mr. Van Dyke I certainly did not assume that this information was Mr. Dorsey’s original work (Adus’ style is not nearly so dry), but I did find the information to be ‘food for thought.’ I enjoy his humor and would not wish him to be discouraged from his writing hobby. I think it is always important to look at the intention behind another’s actions, and in this case I think Mr. Dorsey’s intent was to inform, making it easier to forgive him his oversights, though no doubt he will be more careful in the future. No writer wants to run the risk of a lawsuit; however not writing, out of fear, is not a good outcome either. In any case Mr. Dorsey is quite creative on his own and has no need “to steal or purloin and pass off (the ideas, or words, artistic productions, etc., of another) as one’s own.” (Webster’s New International Dictionary, Second Edition, Copyright 1954) As I am in the process of writing a book I appreciate having the reminders from Mr. Van Dyke’s letter at hand. My big, comprehensive 1954 dictionary has print much too small for my 2015 eyes. Carry on Adus---carefully of course! (Just kidding, but the world does need all the humor we can find.)

Your Credit Score: Updates You Should Know

Mother's Day Special

by Jason Alderman

Credit scoring has evolved over the last three decades and this fall, FICO made one more important change. Borrowers who have struggled with medical debt and those with a limited credit history might see better FICO numbers in the future. Even if these situations don't apply to you, understanding how credit scoring is changing can help you better manage your credit over time. FICO Score 9, rolled out last fall, is described as a more "nuanced" version of the original FICO Score that the leading credit scoring company introduced in 1989. It is offered by three major credit bureaus – Equifax (www.equifax.com), Experian (http://www.experian. com) and TransUnion. (http:// www.transunion.com). It now bypasses collection agency accounts and weighs medical debt differently than non-medical debt on a person's credit record. Borrowers with a median score of 711 whose only negative credit data comes from medical collections will see their credit score go up 25 points under the new system. As for consumers with limited credit histories – what the industry calls "thin files" – FICO says the new system will better determine the ability of someone in that situation to repay a debt. What doesn't FICO 9 address? At this point, the latest credit-scoring model really doesn't loosen or change requirements for mortgage and refinancing opportunities. Even so, there are many things ordinary borrowers can do to improve their credit scores and overall financial health over time. The first step is for borrowers to review each of their credit reports once a year. Credit reports and credit scores are two different things. Consider credit scores are a three-digit summary of creditworthiness; credit reports are the detailed record of a borrower's credit history. Consumers can view each of their credit reports from Equifax, Experian and TransUnion once a year for free (www.annualcreditreport.com). Stagger receipt of each agency's credit reports throughout the year to weed out any inconsistencies, inaccuracies, or worse, indica-

tions of fraudulent credit applications or identity theft. Borrowers are seeing something else that's new – some lenders are making the credit scores they apply to existing borrowers available for free. A few major lenders have taken part in the industry-only FICO Score Open Access Program, which lets current customers see the exact credit scoring data applied to them at no charge. FICO's site doesn't offer the names of participating lenders, but a customer should ask their lender if they are offering free scores through that program. Consumers should know how credit scores are compiled. FICO uses five key ingredients: • Payment history (35 percent) • Amounts owed (30 percent) • Length of credit history (15 percent) • New credit (10 percent) • Types of credit used (10 percent). Visit www.myfico.com for a list of tips for borrowers to improve their scores. Base FICO scores have a 300 to 850 score range, and though FICO doesn't release what it considers good or bad scores, borrowers with excellent credit typically have scores in the mid-700s and up. There are ways to preserve and raise existing credit scores. It might be wise for borrowers to ask if they can increase the credit limit on individual accounts while paying down existing balances on those accounts. Smart borrowers generally keep their outstanding balances at 30 percent or less of their available credit limit. Bottom line: Smart credit management starts with an understanding of one's credit reports and credit scores. Jason Alderman directs Visa's financial education programs.

Report: Huge Companies Avoid Paying Billions in U.S. Taxes

SALT LAKE CITY Congressional hearings in the past few years made headlines exposing how Apple and Microsoft moved money overseas to avoid paying U.S. taxes. But as a new report from Citizens for Tax Justice shows, these name-brand companies aren't alone. Matt Gardner, executive director with the Institute on Taxation and Public Policy, says companies known to use offshore tax havens include Nike, Safeway, American Express, Bank of America, Wells Fargo and the pharmaceutical giant Amgen. He says the impact on the U.S. Treasury is significant. "If these companies paid the U.S. taxes that they ought to be paying on this income, we'd be talking about $600 billion," says Gardner. At the end of 2014, 304 Fortune 500 companies collectively held more than $2 trillion in Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, the Bahamas and other tax havens, places Gardner points out provide very little in the way of real business opportunities for American corporations such as Qualcomm, Safeway and Microsoft. Gardner adds many corporations that fail to disclose whether their offshore holdings are tax havens are the same ones lobbying Congress to enact a temporary tax holiday, or a permanent exemption, for offshore income. —Troy Wilde, Utah News Connection

The Badger Bulletin by Sage Blackburn

Wayne High School had the opportunity to hear from motivational speaker, Mike Schlappi. His story is a moving and powerful example of the importance of safety. His message included humor and motivation as he told his personal story — a story that began with a tragic accident has evolved into a lifetime of lessons and victories. At the age of 15 Mike was shot in the chest, by a friend, at point blank range; paralyzing 2/3 of his body. Mike faces challenges daily because of the decision that was made in regards to the lack of safety. Despite the diagnosis, Schlappi dedicated himself to athletics, and became one of the world's premiere wheelchair basketball stars. Mike is the only wheelchair basketball player in US history to appear in four consecutive summer Paralympic games. He is a four-time medalist, a two-time world champion, and an inductee into the Wheelchair Basketball Hall of Fame. Mike Schlappi’s motivating and entertaining story educated Wayne High’s students on the importance of safety and taking personal responsibility for successes and failures. Sage Blackburn is a senior at Wayne High School.

CDC: Ecigarette Use Among Young People Tops Regular Cigarettes SALT LAKE CITY - Ecigarette use among young people in Utah and across the U.S. is topping regular cigarettes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that for the first time in the history of its National Youth Tobacco Survey, e-cigarette use is higher than all other forms of tobacco, including cigarettes. CDC director Tom Frieden says the increased popularity of the product is working against other progress made in the fight against cigarette smoking. "Big picture here is, we're seeing a striking increase," says Frieden. "It's very concerning. It more than counterbalances the decrease in cigarette smoking, which we've seen occurring in the last few years. " The CDC estimates that last year there were 2.4 million e-cigarette youth users and an estimated 1.6 million youth who used hookahs, the large pipes used to smoke flavored tobacco. Those numbers tripled since 2011. Brian King, deputy director for research translation with the CDC's Office on Smoking and Health, says the various flavors offered with ecigarettes and hookah tobacco make them an interesting option to young people. "Hookah, like e-cigarettes, are not regulated, although they have proposed to be regulated, and they're still available in flavors, particularly kid-friendly flavors that can increase appeal and access," says King. —Troy Wilde, Utah News Connection

Reality Town Comes to Wayne Middle School

Wayne Middle School students experience Reality Town. BICKNELL - Wayne Middle School seventh and eighth grade students participated in a Reality Town activity this month. Before entering Reality Town, students received a student handbook and paystub which contained information about their Reality Town family; their spouse, or lack thereof, and the ages and gender of their children. In the Reality Town simulation, students made financial decisions regarding their Reality Town family and their monthly expenditures as they visited different businesses that were set up around the gym including groceries, child care, housing, medical office, bank, etc. These businesses

were staffed by local professionals, community volunteers, and parents. The Reality Town experience provided an excellent opportunity to teach students about fiscal responsibility. As students tried to work within their income and experienced the challenge of paying one month’s worth of bills on that income, they gained a greater appreciation for what they will experience as an adult. The activity was a success thanks to many community volunteers. A huge thank you to the following volunteers and businesses:Neal Brown; Garkane Energy, Joe Hiskey; Royal’s Market, Gina Flanagan; WCHC, Blake Keller;

Wills, Trusts, and More Did Your Refinance 'Undo' Your Living Trust? by Jeffery J. McKenna

Revocable "living trusts" have become increasingly popular in the past decade. They allow heirs to avoid probate court proceedings. But unlike a will, a living trust cannot be simply signed and filed away. If an asset is never transferred to the trust, or is unintentionally removed from the trust, it will be subject to probate. Over the past few years, as interest rates plunged, many homeowners refinanced their homes to reduce payments. Unfortunately, many lenders won't make loans on property held in a living trust. They insist that the home be transferred back to the owners' individual names before a loan is made. After the new loan is made and the new deed of trust is recorded, the homeowners are free to transfer the home back into the living trust but lenders rarely assist homeowners with this final step. (Some homeowners don't even know their home was removed from the trust, since they signed many documents at once.) The end result is that homeowners who properly transferred their homes into liv-

ing trusts to avoid probate, may face probate anyway because their work was undone. It is sometimes possible to obtain court approval to confirm trust ownership of a home that was never formally transferred to the trust. However, it can be costly for a court to make such determination and defeats the purpose of the trust. Anyone who implemented a "living trust" and subsequently refinanced their property should review the documents to make sure that the home is currently held in the living trust. If not, the owner should have a new deed prepared. The new deed should return the property into the trust. If you are concerned that your living trust may not be properly funded, or if you have other questions about your trust, review your existing documents. You should then make a list of questions and concerns to discuss with an attorney. Delaying addressing these issues could be costly. Many times all that is needed is a deed prepared and recorded or a simple amendment to modify small portions of a trust in order to

tHe lAuGhiNg Routine Things Your pOiNt!!

Physical

A woman goes to a doctor for a physical checkup. The nurse starts with certain basic items. "How much do you weigh?" she asks. "One-fifty." she says. The nurse puts her on the scale. It turns out that her weight is 173. The nurse asks, "Your height?" "Five-ten." she says. The nurse checks and sees that she's only 5' 7 1/2". She then takes her blood pressure, and it's very high. The woman explains, "Of course it's high. When I came in here, I was tall and wiry. Now, I'm short and fat!"

Mom Would Never Say to You

"How on earth can you see the TV sitting so far back?" "Yeah, I used to skip school a lot, too" "Just leave all the lights on ... it makes the house look more cheery" "Let me smell that shirt -- Yeah, it's good for another week" "Go ahead and keep that stray dog, honey. I'll be glad to feed and walk him every day" "Well, if Timmy's mom says it's OK, that's good enough for me." "Don't bother wearing a jacket - the wind-chill is bound to improve"

Ants

As my husband and I moved some patio stones in the backyard, we unearthed a nest of ants. Our youngest son was fascinated with the thousands of ants scurrying madly around. After watching for a few minutes, he glanced up. "It looks just like recess."

Department of Lowered Expectations

During a road trip I stopped in a small town to grab a bite to eat. I walked into a local pizza place and the first thing I noticed was a sign on the wall advising: "Price. Quality. Service. Pick Any Two."

Getting Old

Amy and Jamie are old friends. They have both been married to their husbands for a long time. One day Amy was upset because she thought her husband didn't find her attractive anymore. "As I get older he doesn't bother to look at me!" Amy cried. "I'm so sorry for you, as I get older my husband says I get more beautiful every day." replied Jamie. "Yes," answered Amy, "but your husband's an antique dealer!"

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com April is sure doing it’s thing with the showers and it should bring May flowers. Things are opening up out at the park and I noticed some of our motels are filling up; it’s a good sign this early in the year. The Tulip festival is still going on up at the point of the mountain gardens. The Payson Temple is having an open house, so there are a lot of things to do out there before it’s summer time and lawns to mow. I learned that there is a real good chance around the first of May that prices at the National Parks will be going up. The Feds have cut back on their moneys so these rates will offset some of the costs. Motorcyles will go from $12 to $24, car rates will raise from $25 to $35. Season tickets will remain at $80. One thing that I didn’t know is that there is a one park pass, for a year at $30 and that will go up to $35. Also the camp sites will be going up, for RVs it will be $35 per night and tent camp-

ESSENTIALLY ESCALANTE by Jean Bramble ART in the CITY. The Boulder Arts Council, Escalante Canyons Art Festival, Utah Division of Arts and Museums, The National Endowment for the Arts and the Garfield School District provided support to the Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company who were active in Boulder and Escalante this past weekend. RirieWoodbury is an internationally known modern dance ensemble that emerged during the ‘60s from the collaboration of Joan Woodbury and Shirley Ririe in Salt Lake City. Members of the company spent two days in Escalante providing dance and music education and experience to students as well as a public performance in Escalante High School on Friday. School assemblies that began with students observing and ended with students and teachers participating were held on Thursday and Friday. Except for members of the audience who could not sit still in their seats, the public performance on Friday night did not invite the public to dance. However few could fail to be impressed by the sheer physicality of the artists. The performance was exquisite. Many thanks to the dancers, the company and the many who helped provide an exciting and inspirational evening. April City Council. This paragraph covers city council highlights from the meetings on the 7th and 21st of April. On the 7th, a public hearing was held prior to the regular meeting. City council voted to revise the minimum required width of potentially subdivided lots in the Planning and Zoning Ordinances. They also raised city water rates. Specific information regarding these new actions may be obtained from the city offices and will eventually be available on the city website ( 826- 4644 or http://escalantecity-utah. com). New real estate actions approved by the city include a new house, an established trailer-toholiday-home transition, and an addition to a home. In his yearly meeting with the council, Alberto Vasquez reviewed the recent accolades awarded to Garfield Memorial Hospital. Garfield

Memorial is doing extremely well. Marty Henrie queried the council about insurance for the Holiday Festival (which will be explored) and obtained permission to pursue an estimate for a handicapped lift at the Community Center. An individual from Salt Lake will be invited to present a bid. Marty also asked about wall space in the Senior Citizens Center for Escalante Art Festival Hangings. Councilwoman Torgerson took charge of investigating this possibility. A representative from the Escalante Chamber of Commerce clarified the invitation it had extended to have a representative attend the bi-annual chamber general meetings. Council appeared to be positive about this invitation. The mayor asked that citizens be required to fill out a written request forming order to have items listed on city council agendas. “Other cities do this,” he said. His request was approved. On April 21st, Deon Alvey, who has “for the past 30 years …kept the idea alive of …having our own medical center in Escalante” (M. Haws 4/23/2015), thanked the council and mayor for their support at the opening of the new clinic and went on to remind them of Clinic Planning Committee members who went unmentioned during the opening. She added that Del Lefevre was also responsible for bringing about the availability of significant funding and should be recognized. Armstrong Consultants sent Ryan Pritchett to remind us that it’s time for an updated master plan for the airport. Sue Fearon, representing the Escalante River Watershed Partnership, asked if the city would approve the ERWP in removing Russian olive and tamarisk, from identified city property while they remove trees from approved adjacent private property. The mayor said that the city attorney must be consulted. That attorney was sitting with the council, looked at the agreement presented for signature and stated that it looked adequate. ERWP will be removing the pesky trees in late summer. Terry Tontlewicz (Desert Doctor) approached the city

with a request to improve the appearance of the old city sign, a.k.a. the ‘moqui sign.’ Doc stated that he would straighten the sign and redo the panels and the lights as well as paint the sign. After much discussion and some audience input, one councilman suggested that the city should have the sign evaluated by someone in antique restoration and consider bidding out the project. This statement seemed to end the discussion. Moving on, city council voted to discontinue Escalante City Court due to the expense to the city. Winding up, council discussed wastewater reports, problems with large equipment repair, and replacement of the treacherous patches of sidewalk along Main Street. Did You Know? In a recent publication, Kiplinger, a long-time financial magazine, designated Utah as the 9th worst state for retirement, 2015. Our state has the lowest percent of adults over 65 in the US other than Alaska. (Presumably, elderly people may be more isolated and have less political clout. Meantime, the magazine fails to understand our birth rate or well connected families.) The median home value for our 65+ resident is 23.7% above the US median. It is also one of the few states that taxes Social Security benefits. On the plus side, they liked St. George due to low living costs, scenery and outdoor lifestyle. They must have missed Escalante.

There will be a blood drive at the Stake Center on May 12th and the time will be running from 1:30 to 7:00. There will be a list for you to sign up on at church. You may call Jennifer Bremner at 676 8211 for a reservation. Panguitch has always been a great place for the Red Cross to get donations. Don’t forget to pull off your flowers and pot hangers from out at the cemetery before May 1. The military crosses will remain. The American Legion is moving the crosses to sit on the concrete foundation that are under the monuments. This is a slow process; the crosses have to be modified, so bear with us please. This change will help the maintenance crew to mow the lawn without the interference of the crosses. I came across a couple articles from the SLC Tribune and the American Legion Magazine. First from the Tribune an old coal power plant has been closed, that is near Helper. It closed a day before the new stricter federal mercury pollution rules went into effect. 45 employees will remain and the other 74 will be hired by other power plants in the area. The power plant was a real work horse, with a high reliability in excess of 90 percent. Since 2010, 188 coal fired

power plants have been closed. The gas-fired 545 mega watt Lake Side Power Station in Vineyard is both replacing and handling growth in demand, from the Carbon plant. The Carbon Plant burned 650,000 tons a year of locally mined coal. The industry is switching over to natural gas to replace these coal fired plants. Coal emits twice as much carbon dioxide as natural gas. Utah is drowning in natural gas, that if piped to these plants it will be a huge boom to the economy. With oil back up to $57 a barrel it won’t be long before they are back up in full force in North Dakota. Oil is still down over $50 a barrel from last year, but that doesn’t stop the oil companies from raising gas prices. With Memorial Day coming at the end of the month, I found an interesting article in this month American Legion Magazine. We have had so many more wars than I ever thought. There were the Seven Year war, the Hundred years War and a hundred hour war and the six-day war, cold wars and phony wars, great wars and splendid little wars. These wars include US Military deaths and cost. Revolutionary War, 1775 to 1783, deaths 4,435 and cost $101, million. Barbary Wars, 1801 to 1805 against pirates, 35 deaths. War of 1812 1812-1815, deaths 2,260, cost $90 million. Indian wars 1813 to 1838, 1000 deaths. Mexican war, 18461848. Deaths 13,283 cost $71 million.

For his Eagle Project he went up on the "T" Hill and restored the original "T" that was up there. He whitewashed and diverted the water that was running of the "T" so that is faded the paint. John is the son of Daniel and LaNae Cloud of Tropic and is also our BVHS Reporter.

Right down the street from their old house (where the boys built a fire in the field) Saturday was a very busy day for wedding receptions. Shawn Syrett and Kara Stewart held their reception at Ruby's Inn on Saturday evening at 6-8 PM. It was very nice and then next week on the May 1st they will get married in the St. George Temple. Also on Saturday Carrie Platt and Daniel Medina held their reception in Henrieville at 7 8:30 PM. They were married on April 10th and had a reception in Hurricane then.
