Fuel Tanker Roll Over On Hwy 24 WAYNE CO. - At approximately 8:15am on Sunday, May 3rd, 2015, a semi truck hauling 10,000 gallons of diesel fuel to Wayne County wrecked on Hwy 24, mile marker #43. The tank was actively leaking fuel onto and around the highway. According to the driver of the semi he said he was coming down the hill, when he slightly went off the road way, he did correct himself but his rear tank trailer fish tailed causing his semi truck to roll over, blocking the entire highway. The Highway was closed at this time, and traffic was detoured over the old Fishlake Dirt Road and Highway 25 at the The Fishlake turn junction. Wayne County Sheriff's Office was called to assist with detouring traffic around the accident. Sevier County's Fire
GARFIELD CO. - Fire is an important component of a healthy ecosystem and this spring the Dixie National Forest is planning to implement some prescribed burns to return fire to the landscape. In order to manage some of the impacts prescribed burning has on local communities the Dixie National Forest will be using a helicopter to assist in igniting the Dave’s Hollow and Stump Springs areas. The use of a helicopter and aerial ignition provides project managers the ability to ignite larger areas under defined fuel and weather parameters also known as the prescription. Thus reducing the time needed to implement and complete a project as well as reducing the amount of smoke in the air. “The Forest Service wants to do everything we can
to minimize the impacts our actions have on local communities. By using aerial ignition as part of our prescribed burning program, we should be able to reduce the overall duration of residual smoke and meet our mission of trying to sustain the health, diversity and productivity of the Dixie National Forest, “said Paul Hancock, District Ranger. Local residents can expect similar prescribed fire operations as they have observed in previous years, only more of the project area will be treated in the same time period. Ignition may take 2 to 5 days over a 1 to 3 week time frame. For additional information contact the Escalante Prescribed Burning Cont'd on page 7
Local Citizen Scientists Monitor Sky Quality

Local citizen scientists hold Sky Quality Meters in the air to check night sky brightness. TORREY - A group of night sky enthusiasts gathered the evening of April 17th to discuss a biannual Sky Quality Monitoring project. It was too rainy and cloudy to collect data, so they reconvened the night of April 19th. Nearly a dozen citizen scientists traveled to five locations in the Torrey-Grover-Teasdale triangle measuring the brightness of the night sky along with collecting information such as temperature, wind speed, and barometric pressure. Entrada Institute board members, staff from Capi-
tol Reef National Park, along with community members interested in the night sky used a variety of fascinating data collection devices to gather baseline data. Every six months, information will be recorded from the same locations and added to a database. Sandwiched between International Dark Sky Week (April 13-19) and Earth Day (April 22), the event was an excellent opportunity to discuss the importance of studySky Quality

Gunnison Valley Hospital Receives Five-Star Rating GUNNISON- Gunnison Valley Hospital received a five star with Medicare’s new “star ratings� system that was launched this month – one of only three hospitals in the state to receive this rating. According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the ratings – in which facilities receive anywhere from zero to five stars – are to help prospective patients understand how hospitals perform and “make informed decisions about health care� based on patient reviews on more than 3,500 hospitals across the country. “Residents in Sanpete Valley should be pleased that they are able to receive highquality healthcare right in their own community,� said Mark Dalley, hospital administrator at Gunnison Valley Hospital. “Our hospital remains committed to building and maintaining trusted relationships with our patients through our personalized and high-quality care, as we’ve done for more than 80 years.� The ratings are based on data from the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems Survey (HCAPS). That survey, started in 2006, measures patients’ experiences in 11 ar-
eas including: • How well nurses and doctors communicate with patients. • How responsive hospital staff members are to patient needs. • How clean and quiet hospital environments are. • How well patients are prepared for post-hospital settings. Medicare is already using a star system to rate nursing homes, dialysis centers and private Medicare Advantage insurance plans. This is the first time the system has been used with hospitals. About Gunnison Valley Hospital Gunnison Valley Hospital is a critical access hospital that provides personalized care and cutting-edge technology, while preserving its roots in the community. The hospital offers a variety of medical services, including acute inpatient care, surgery, ambulance and emergency medicine, respiratory therapy, laboratory, labor and delivery, physical therapy, advanced diagnostic imaging, home health and hospice care and visiting specialists.

Free Skin Cancer Screenings
WCHC Offering Claudia Austin Medical Scholarship
ST. GEORGE - More individuals have been diagnosed with skin cancer than all other cancers combined. Detection is key and on May 12 from 4:30-6:30 p.m. individuals can receive a free skin cancer screening by calling (435) 688-5299 for an appointment. The screening will be held at the Dixie Regional Medical Center 400 East Campus inside the 2nd floor Cancer Services Entrance, at approximately 600 S. 350 East. Nevada’s Jo Lyn Fogliani expresses her passion about having an annual exam, as a checkup saved her life. “I can’t even explain how important it is to me,� said Fogliani. “To me it was life and death. It’s as important as having a mammogram or colonoscopy. You have to take care of yourself. You’re the only one that can!� Growing up in Pioche, Nevada, with a lot of outdoor time, skin cancer was certainly a possibility. After noticing an unusual mark on her hand, Fogliani was counseled to see Dr. April Larson at Intermountain Southern Utah Plastic Surgery & Dermatology. “I was very impressed by how concise she was. She took great pains for an examination. And it was the first time in my life that had ever happened. I really appreciated that. “ Fogliani’s growth tested positive for melanoma; however, due to early detection, Dr. Larson and her team were able to remove the cancer with no further follow-up treatment needed. “They took very good care of me. I’d never hesitate to have them give me care of any kind because this turned out so well. It could have been bad. They turned it into a positive thing.� Space is limited and patients will be seen by appointment only. Appointments can be scheduled by calling (435) 688-5299. —Intermountain Healthcare

Bicycles on Scenic Byway 12
The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is working with a number of agencies and entities on the details and recommendations for the Utah route segments of a designated National Bike Route System - the USBRS. While north/south and east/west routes across Utah are being considered the east/west route of interest to residents and businesses on Scenic Byway 12 include segments of SR24 and all of Scenic Byway 12. The USBRS segments 70 and 79 in Utah, together labeled the Red Rock Highway, is a popular route for cross-country bicyclists. More information on the USBRS will be provided by UDOT to local governments soon including requests to provide a letter of support for the designation. When I think of all the conversations I have been part of over the years regarding bicycles on Scenic Byway 12, one consistent message has surfaced in each conversation. The concern has always been safety. Scenic Byway 12 has some serious challenges to motorist and rider safety when it comes to combining non-motorized and motorized vehicles in the traffic lanes. This is particularly true where the road narrows, has no shoulder or, as a resident of Henrieville recently pointed out to me, has a shoulder that is littered with loose gravel. I will be supporting the route designation and the economic boost bicycle tourism brings our rural economy. I plan to communicate my support with an equal measure of concern for travelers' safety. I will urge UDOT and their bike industry partners to make sure that they recognize the safety concerns expressed by many Garfield and Wayne County residents over the years. I will also ask them to commit future resources to making the road safer for travelers. We welcome bicyclists and all travelers to Scenic Byway 12 and will do what we can to foster facilities and programs to make the road safer for travelers.

It Takes More Than Just a Mayor I heard this comment the other day, “Torrey has gone to hell since Scott became mayor” and I feel compelled to make a public comment. Where were you when our former Mayor and Council member voluntarily left their positions, did you step up to fill their shoes? Do you regularly attend town council meetings or volunteer your time in support of Apple Days, Arbor Day, or The Christmas Hoe Down. It seems like those who complain the loudest do the least. Do you know that Mayor Chesnut comes from a family of public servants? From the time he was a young boy his Father and Mother have both served the Torrey Community and their contributions remain clear and present to this day and they have obviously impressed on him the need to serve. I find this admirable and personally feel he is more than qualified to fill the position of Mayor. He is well-schooled on our town’s water system and actively engaged with what’s going on in Torrey; from town sponsored activities to connecting on a personal level with the people of Torrey. It takes more than just a Mayor to keep our town from going to hades. It takes a 5 member council, 2 office workers, 1 maintenance man and a seasonal summer worker, as well as a community who care and recognize that what makes a place special is all of us. We truly appreciate those who do come out to help and attend meetings and keep themselves updated on what’s going on and volunteer some of their time for no other reason than “because they care” and personally I want to give a big shout out to those council members and Mayor for stepping up to the plate and educating themselves to serve this community to the best of their ability. Unless a person attends town council meetings how can one know what is going on in the town of Torrey. Do people not understand that when they make a derogatory statement about where they live they are making that statement about themselves and it affects how others feel about our town? If you want to make Torrey better, please by all means do so with positive statements, upbeat ideas and perhaps getting involved and volunteering some of your time. Colleen Dudleston Torrey Citizen

A Guide to Travel Insurance
Mother's Day Special
by Jason Alderman
A sudden storm, a missed connection or a family emergency can turn a hard-earned vacation or important business trip into a big disappointment. Travel insurance can save the day, but picking the right coverage requires research, cost comparison and above all, reading the fine print. A quick online search can make it easy to identify and price highly rated travel insurance carriers. But personal circumstances and coverage should be examined thoroughly before any trip reservations are made. First, travelers should evaluate their own life, home, auto and health insurance coverage. It is wise to call personal insurance agents to discuss the future trip and its accommodations and activities. The idea is to see where personal coverage ends and where additional travel insurance might be beneficial. Some travelers, for example, might be surprised to know that their homeowners' policy actually offers liability coverage for out-of-state or foreign trips and their health insurance might offer full or partial evacuation insurance. Credit card companies may offer additional protection. List specific risks and circumstances surrounding the trip to discuss with insurers to determine whether additional travel coverage might be necessary. For business trips, employees should repeat this process with their benefits or human resources departments. Employers that regularly do business in risky areas where crime, geopolitical conflict or rough weather are common may have specific systems in place for these issues. But it is important to know how extensive an employer's protections might be to determine whether you'll need additional coverage. Travel insurance covers these main risks: trip cancellation and/or trip interruption, baggage loss, medical and/or dental, pre-existing (medical) conditions and evacuation (medical or otherwise). It is difficult to cite average premiums for trips because every trip and traveler is different. Coverage for short domestic trips with basic coverage for cancellation or lost baggage might cost some money; comprehensive coverage for a major world excursion may go well into the hundreds. Travel companies like airlines and cruise lines sell various forms of trip insurance, but it might be wise to buy directly from an actual insurance company in the travel insurance business, better known as a "third-party" carrier. While travel insurance sold by travel companies might be adequate, they generally cannot match the quality of coverage or customer service that a full-time insurance provider can. Before you buy travel coverage, it is particularly important to know what the policy's exclusion clause says. That section of the travel insurance policy indicates particular activities or circumstances that will prevent the

payment of a claim. Insurance companies respond to claims when customers file documents properly. Travelers who need to make a claim should have copies of receipts, ticketing and paperwork relevant to losses such as flight delays, lost luggage or any other potential loss indicated in the policy. If the claim is the result of a criminal act, policyholders should make sure they obtain and file copies of police, hotel or other relevant documentation safely. Finally, it never hurts to visualize potential risks on an upcoming trip. Quick online searches make it easy for travelers to check on weather and potential conflicts at their destination. The U.S. State Department features its own global travel alert and warnings webpage (http://travel. state.gov/content/passports/ english/alertswarnings.html) to prepare travelers for local crime, terrorist attacks or geopolitical conflict. The U.S. National Weather Service also features sites for long-term storm and hurricane prediction, though travel insurers will generally not issue coverage after a particular storm system is named. Bottom line: Travel insurance can be a financial lifesaver. However, it's important to thoroughly evaluate such coverage in light of personal and business coverage you already have and, most of all, to read the fine print.

Schools & Sports New Reading Program in GCSD
The Garfield County School Board approved the purchase of a new Language Arts reading program during the April 30th Board meeting. A committee comprised of parents, teachers, and administrators reviewed and recommended the new curriculum. The new program is published by McGraw Hill Education and is titled “Wonders”. The new literacy program will be taught in Pre K (preschool) through 6th grade and will available to the students at the beginning of the 20152016 school year. The cost for the program is $136,536 for the all of the elementary schools in the District. The associated costs will provide students the resources needed for the next six years. The District will be providing professional development opportunities for teachers this summer to plan and utilize the new reading resources. I would like to thank those individuals who reviewed the various curriculums and provided the recommendation to the School Board for their adoption and approval. I would also like to thank the tax payers who provide the funding to purchase the resources our students need for their education. We are excited about the new reading program and the instructional opportunities it will provide to our students. —Superintendent Ben Dalton

The Badger Bulletin
by Sage Blackburn Students at Wayne High School have participated in many activities in their advisory classes these past few months. Activities have revolved around interviewing for a job, building a resume, and learning proper etiquette skills at the dinner table. These activities educate students on team building, social skills, and what to except after graduating. Advisory is a twenty-minute period held after seventh hour. Advisory was created in order for each student at Wayne High to have a teacher advocate they could go to when help was needed. Classes have played educational games, learned tips on surviving college, and have discussed current events in the world today. Currently, advisory classes are discussing their career plans and have taken quizzes on O*NET Interest Profiler, an online quiz that can help you find out what your interests are and how they relate to the world of work. The O*NET Interest Profiler helps you decide what kinds of careers you might want to explore in the future. Sage Blackburtn is a senior at Wayne High School.

Wills, Trusts, and More How Do I Discuss Estate Planning With My Family and Loved Ones?
Throughout my twenty years as an estate planning attorney, I have experienced the effects of the above question. Too often, the problem has been that estate planning has not been discussed. I always advise my clients to let their family members know that they have done estate planning and where the documents are located. I encourage more discussion; but, at a minimum, family members must know that planning has been done. Estate planning is a very personal and private matter. As a result, many children and grandchildren are not aware of estate issues or the personal wishes of their parents and grandparents until it is too late to plan. Parents and grandparents are often reluctant to discuss such issues. Perhaps the best way to start the discussion with a parent is to ask questions such as, "Have you done any estate planning?" or "Are there any estate decisions that I need to be aware of?" Another alternative would be to ask your parents for advice on your own estate plan. This may lead to a discussion of their own plans. The questions do not have to initially focus on financial is-
by Jeffery J. McKenna sues or on what individual beneficiaries will receive. Instead, the questions should focus on understanding the overall wishes of a parent and how you can help. A parent may not want to discuss issues relating to death; however, by waiting, the discussion may never occur. They could die without you knowing whether they have estate planning documents, where they are located, wishes pertaining to their illness, and final services. You should also remember that a discussion of your parents’ estate planning needs may affect your own estate planning, and you may need to consider revising your own strategies. Conversely, if you are the parents, you may be uncomfortable talking about your own death. Or you may feel that your children would be uncomfortable speaking of your death. But by taking the time now to plan your estate, and to make your wishes known to your loved ones, you may experience a sense of security. You will have peace of mind knowing you'll be able to financially provide for your loved ones after you're gone, and you can rest at ease that

tHe lAuGhiNg pOiNt!! Medieval History
My friend, an American History professor at Mount Union College in Ohio, was asked to teach a Medieval History class. Not an expert on the Middle Ages, he was concerned about what he'd be able to offer the students. But his fears were soon laid to rest. During the first class, he asked the students, "Why are you taking this medieval history course?" A freshman piped up, "Because I really like the 1800's."
Diet Scale
"Darn!" the man said to his friend while weighing himself at the local drug store scale. "I started on a new diet but the scale says I'm heavier than I was before." Turning to his friend, he said, "Here, hold my jacket." The scale still indicated that he had not lost any weight. "OK," he said to his friend. "Hold my Twinkies."
Mother's Day Gift
The young mother loved the picture frame her five-year-old son bought her for Mother's Day. She found a photograph of him and replaced the cat photo that came with the frame. He became upset: "Why are you putting a picture of me in there when I bought you a picture of a cat?"

Addiction: Am I at Risk? In a recent article I identified conditions in which narcotics are good and useful. But what are the risks of becoming addicted if they are used? While there are some drugs that can create addiction with only one exposure – crack for example – most addictions develop from repeated exposure to a drug or activity that makes the individual feel better and in which the pleasure centers of the brain interpret it all to be a good thing. As such, it is rare for an individual to become addicted to pain pills if they are used for only a short amount of time. This is why narcotics for chronic pain are so risky. There also appears to be a genetic predisposition. If you’ve had personal trouble with addiction, narcotics are not for you. Also, if addiction runs in your family – alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, gambling, drugs, etc, you may be at risk. Much of addiction is a reaction to emotional stress. As such, having been sexually abused as a child, a personal history of PTSD (posttraumatic stress disorder) and/ or anxiety and depression all make you at risk for addiction. If you’re struggling emotion-
ally be extra careful. Narcotics may make you “feel more normal” but the last thing you need when life is not going well is to add to your problems a drug addiction! Another predictor of addiction is the age at which you first use a drug. While prescribed pain medication for a child after having their tonsils out would not be a risk, a teenager taking his grandmother’s pain pills for recreation would. This increased lifetime risk
for addiction not only applies to pain pills but to alcohol and other recreational drugs. The risk of addiction increases significantly the younger a child is when a drug is first used. This fact highlights the importance of keeping controlled medications away from our children and grandchildren – a topic for another day. Thanks for your confidence and support. Jeff Chappell, M.D.

Fascinating Dinosaurs
Dinosaurs are fascinating. My four-year-old is obsessed with them. Recently, we were riding on a bus and he asked another passenger for her name. "My name is Deena," she said. "Can you say Deena?" "Deena," said my son. "Can you say pachycephalosaurus?"
Lunch Order
It was a busy lunch hour, made longer by one of my customers who couldn't make up his mind about what to order. After loudly polling everyone at his table, he asked me, "What do you think I should have?" Before I could answer, an irritated man at the next table offered a suggestion: "How about a picnic?"

WELCOME, WELCOME! City Councilman Kim Soper said, after just two days the Lieutenant Governor signed the annexation bill, and you are now officially citizens of Panguitch City, congratulation. I don’t think those of you that were born here will be classified as move-ins. I though of another advantage of paying city taxes, instead of the higher water bills, property taxes are an item that you can write off on your income taxes. Kim would like to thank all of those at the County building that helped him in this endeavor. Thank you again Kim you did good. For those new people in Town there is an election coming up and it will be for four City Council seats. Three will be for four year terms and one for a two year term. At the last election I though that the Mayor's position was for two years, however after the election, it was pointed out that it was for a four year term. Since Mayor Houston was the only candidate, he got a surprise with another two years added to his term. Next week I will let you know when there will be a filing date. If there are more than two fillers per position there will be a primary. As the school year winds down, it is a hard time for many of the teachers. After putting in a 10 to 12 hour day for eight months, they begin to wear down. They teach because it is in their blood, it certainly isn’t for the money. Panguitch has the best of the best when it comes to educators, Algebra is taught in the 3rd grade, geometry in 4th grade. The other day when in the 1st grade class the teacher was asking how many sides did a trapezoid have, I thought it was a dinosaur. I kind of feel like I ought to start my education over again. When you see one of these teachers, give them a hug and tell them how much you appreciate their efforts and the love they give the kids in Panguitch and Hatch.
I started driving out at the Park last week and they are having record crowds so far. The Shuttles are running two weeks early this year and it is a good thing. A couple of things that I have noticed on my trips out there, Highway 89 between town and Hatch is in really bad shape. Not only are the truck ruts getting deeper making for hydroplaning when it rains, there are tire killer pot holes on both sides of the road. The other thing is the road base for the extension of the bike trail is done clear up to Ruby’s Inn. When it warms up they will put on an asphalt top coating and it will be ready for your bike riding pleasure. This is also a great safety factor getting the bikers off the highway. In the past, every year there were bikers injured in Red Canyon. You can get on the trail just west of Red Canyon and ride clear up to Ruby’s, I believe it's about 14 miles. If you are really smart you will go to Ruby’s and ride to Red Canyon, it’s mostly downhill. The trail is being extended from Ruby’s into the Park and up to Inspiration Point. The trail crews have already cut down the trees for the trail. Always conscious of the wildlife in the Park they cut the trees early to prevent the birds from nesting in them and that way their nests won’t be destroyed. When money becomes available there are plans to further extend the trails. Speaking of bikers I found out the Great Utah Bike Race won’t become to Southern Utah. It was here two years and was really exciting. The racers rode on the most beautiful roads in the World. Highway 14 down to Cedar and Highway 12 from Panguitch to Torrey. It was a fun and exciting event, I hope that you got to see some of these races; it is hard to believe how fast those riders were. The Blood bank will be here next Tuesday the 12th. Lists have been passed around
the different Wards in Town. The Blood Bank will be the Stake Center and will run from 1pm. to 7pm. If you would like to donate and would like a certain time, call Jennifer Bremner at (676-8211). We have some very note worthy folks that are retiring this May. Jon and Mavis Torgerson are calling it a day. Mavis has been working at Zions Bank for the last 21 years. It is nice to do business with a company that has employees like Mavis, she really knows banking and is always pleasant. It won’t seem like the same Bank with her gone. Jon has spent 27 years working at the Garfield Hospital. At the Hospital Jon wore many hats and is big help in the running of one of best hospitals in Southern Utah. Jon was very active in the City serving as Mayor in two different terms. I had the privilege of serving with him in his second term. He was a great compromiser, when there was a dispute he always made each side feel like they had came out on top. He always backed the Council members in their projects and many things came about in those 4 years. Some of the items that came about in that period: Fire Station, Sewer System, Natural Gas, Replaced the old iron leaded water lines, Baseball complex, running track at the High School, Triple C Arena, Prison, redoing the downtown Main street and Center street. The start of the Quilt Walk and the Balloon Festival, the repairing of the outside of the Social Hall and switching from a local police dept. to the Sheriff dept. In his church work Jon served in the Stake Presidency for seven years. The Torgerson’s have left their mark in Panguitch, always going way beyond what ever endeavor they take part in. Enjoy a long retirement, there are tons of things to see out in the world. Denise Dastrup is also retiring from the EMS service after 16 years. Denise was truly
a dedicated volunteer, she rarely missed a run in all of those years, whether asleep or up at the prison she was usually the first one there. In the many years that I worked in the emergency service, Denise was in a class by herself. Her skills were every bit as good as any professional paramedic that I worked with in California Panguitch is very lucky to have volunteers like Denise that give professional care to all in our area. A couple of stories that came out of Foy’s Country Kitchen. One of their customers asked Vee Foy how his wife Mary was doing; he had heard that she had broken her hip. Vee told the customer to go out in the kitchen and ask her himself, there was Mary cooking, with a crutch under her arm. With the fire station, Russell Bulkley told me that he and David Dodds had spent 10 years drawing up the plans for the fire station sitting in Foy’s having their breakfast. If you look over at the Smoke House, you will see where they got their idea for the front of the station. Russell and David’s plans were almost the same as the engineer that the City had to hire to get the grant money that paid for most of the station. Memorial Day comes really early this year, as it falls on the last Monday in May. Main Street Committee will be having their annual garage sale on Main Street. So round up all of the stuff that you don’t have a need for anymore and rent a table and pass it on to someone else. There is an outstanding movie playing at the Gem Theater. The name of it is Macfarland USA and it deals with a small farm town in California This is a real motivator film, that you need to take your kids too, bring along a least two hankies one for the tears and one for the cheers as the team competes in cross country. Enjoy the spring it will be winter before you know it. Mack O.

It is good to see all the college students home for the summer. There were many who also graduated from SUU and other schools around the State. Two that I have gotten notice of are Tyson Torgerson and Jade Harris Roundy. Tyson graduated in Chemistry and was Magna Cum Laud. He is married to the former Kaitlynn Pollock. Jade is married to Kameron Roundy. She graduated Magna Cum Laud in the Physical Education and Human Performance major. Congratulations to both of the graduates and any others that I may have missed. Good job. It is fun watching the Bike Path from Red Canyon to the Bryce Point in Bryce Canyon grow longer each day. It is amazing how fast things can change. They will soon be paving it and the bike riders can go biking all the way to Bryce. At the same time the parking area at Ruby's is getting a face lift and starting to look good. So many changes going on. Congratulations to Kambri Whitney and Tason Glazier on their engagement and upcoming marriage on June 6th. Their reception will be held in Kanab. Kambri is the daughter of Shannon and Melanie Whitney Muir of Cannonville. Allen and Teresa Larson have been called to be workers in the Cannonville Primary.

This week has been Teacher Appreciation Week at the Schools. Students have been writing "Thank You" notes for their teachers. They are thankful for the "wings and roots" the teacher give them to use in life.
We should always be thankful for teachers who are willing to teach our children and put a lot of their own time and money into what they share in the classrooms to help further the education of children. There is a lot of care, love and devotion in the teachers in Garfield Schools and we are thankful for their time and skills. The rain this weekend, while it did not last long, was very nice to help our grass grow greener. We sure could use some more of that beautiful smelling moisture. It seems to freshen the air around us. We have so much to be thankful for and the rain just made it even better. Mother's Day is this coming Sunday and time for us to let our Mothers know just how much we appreciate them and the love and care they give to us and those around them. Mothers have a never ending job when it comes to their families. They don't stop caring or worrying when the child grows and leaves home. In fact that goes on to involve grandchildren as well. The love is very strong down through the generations. We are thankful for Mothers and on the other hand as Mothers we are thankful for our families that we love so much. Have a Happy Mother's Day!! Be safe this week and please call or email your news to me. Thanks VS.

LOA - The 5th Grade classes of Trena Barlow and Shanda Johnson from Loa Elementary School, in Loa, occupied nearly every parking lot and business entrance on April 29, 2015 for a coordinated, playground improvement project fundraiser. Mrs. Barlow said, “Since our students are the oldest, we thought it would be a good idea to have them come up with some sort of fundraiser to help earn some money to improve our school grounds. We love our school and we love the community, but our school is getting older, and it is hard to always ask businesses for donations. We discussed the area of the school we would like to improve. The front entrance is where they decided to focus their efforts. The entrance to the gym is surrounded by dirt and gets full of weeds. There isn't any
water plumbed over there, so we discussed the idea of putting some nice rocks in. The students were so excited about the idea of a fundraiser and immediately began listing some ideas of things they could do. We each talked to our classes individually. Her class came up with the idea to make and sell lemonade, and my class decided to make a dessert recipe book. Each class did the math and figured the cost to manufacture their product and how much to sell their product for. (fifth grade math is big in fractions and decimals, so it fit right in with our core).” And go to work the kids did, says Mrs. Barlow “Mrs. Johnson contacted the local businesses to see if we could set up "shop". My class brought samples of their recipes the previous week, so they would be able to tell the cus-
tomers about all the delicious recipes in the cookbook because they had sampled them. The kids made posters and talked about how they should conduct themselves when they were selling. At the day's end, they counted up the money they made and were extremely excited!! From beginning to end, it was a fun learning experience for the 5th graders. So, the plans are to use the money to fix up the area by the entrance to the gym." For those businesses and individuals that were un-able to participate in this community improvement project fund raiser for the Loa Elementary school, you are encouraged to contact Mrs. Barlow, Mrs. Johnson or any Loa Elementary 5th Grader to get in on this project. Continued donations are very much appreciated.

Screenings in Utah, Nation, Centered on Skin Cancer Prevention SALT LAKE CITY - It's Melanoma Monday in Utah and across the nation, a day centered on the early detection and prevention of a disease that kills thousands of Americans each year. Kimberly Dinsdale, media relations manager for the American Cancer Society, says melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, affects many people. "The estimated number throughout the country is about 73,000 cases will be diagnosed this year, and in Utah, about 800 new cases will be diagnosed of some form of melanoma of the
skin," she points out. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in a recent year, more than 9,000 Americans died from melanoma, with about twothirds being male and the rest female. The CDC estimates that about 100 people in Utah die from Melanoma each year. Melanoma Monday kicks off the broader campaign of May being Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month, which encourages regular medical checkups and self-examination. Dinsdale says another criti-

You probably didn’t know that when Ryan Hirschi is not maintaining power lines, he also enjoys being a Journeyman Electrician on the side. Lineman are electricians who work primarly outside of the home, working on transmission and distribution lines to supply power to your home or business. Electricians are tradesmen who are responsible for all electrical work inside the building. Even though Lineman and Electricians share some similarities, they are both very distinct and different because of the different phases of power. Ryan grew up in Las Vegas and moved to Kanab in 2005, where he worked for Clark Electric and Energy Fuels. Both companies helped him receive his Journeyman Electrician license, which he is grateful for. Now as an employee for Garkane, he is working towards his Journeyman certificate as a lineman. When he finishes his Journeyman Lineman certificate, you could say he will be a dual threat, which is rare in the industry. Ryan has been quoted saying “it’s good to shed light upon the world.”......Get to know the People Behind the Power!
