learn in this process will enrich and change you. The workshop will be held from 9am to 4pm with a break for lunch.

David Lee, Former Utah Poet Laureate, to Read at Robber’s Roost Books TORREY - On Saturday, May 10, Robber’s Roost Books and the Entrada Institute are proud to present a special preseason reading by the legendary poet and educator David Lee, Utah’s first Poet Laureate. Lee will read from and sign copies of his new book, Last Call. The 7:00 p.m. reading, to be held at Robber’s Roost Books and Beverages, 185 W. Main in Torrey, is free and open to the public. Donations to the nonprofit Entrada Institute are welcome. Lee’s publisher, Wings Press, had this to say about his work: “Few poets of Western America fill the ‘organic intellectual’ role better than David Lee. His poetry is the real deal when it comes to recording hilariously insightful (and linguistically accurate) observations of rural culture—and America at large—while using a host of astute literary allusions and techniques. Imagine Robert Frost simultaneously channeling Will Rogers and Ezra Pound.” Kent Haruf, author of the acclaimed novels Plainsong, Eventide, and Benediction, described Last Call as a “transcendent book” that is characterized by “miracles, visions, visitations, hard lessons, riffs of talk, fabulous instances of word play and righteous scorn set alongside rips of great good humor, tall stories, sad stories, and moments of deep affection.” The first poet laureate of

Members of the Utah Conservation Corps work on many service projects throughout Utah such as fence building and removal of invasive plant species. Seasonal UCC crews will now have a home base linked with a new field office in Escalante. ESCALANTE - The Utah Conservation Corps is beginning a new chapter in its 13-year history with the opening of a new field office in Escalante. Adam Stoldal, Southern Utah Crew Coordinator, will be heading up the office, which will serve as the base for crews working on public lands throughout the southern part of the state over the next five years. Until now, all UCC crews were based in Logan, which meant eight to ten hours of driving for crews working in the southern Utah. Not only was this costly in terms of gas
and maintenance on vehicles, but it also took time away from the crews’ work week. “Escalante serves as a great jumping-off point for our projects in places like Capitol Reef and Zion,” said Stoldal. “We’ll save money on gas, project sponsors will get more work out of us, and the crews will be more rested and ready to work.” The Utah Conservation Corps is a non-profit that provides crews of four or eight people to public lands managers, such as National Parks, State Parks and the Bureau of Land Management, at a low

Children are less likely to drink when there parents are involved in their lives, and
when children and parents feel close to each other. Research shows teens who regularly eat as a family five to seven times per week are 33% less likely to use alcohol. Stay close to your kids in other ways by spending time with them. Try to spend at least 15 minutes a day of oneon-one time. The more you spend time with them, the closer your relationship will be. Do fun things together on a regular basis. Play catch, go camping, do a craft or project, and have a weekly game night. Listen and be supportive when you talk. Take time to talk about your kids interests and activities. Ask about their lives, hopes, fears and concerns. Encourage them to do well in school. Be kind and respectful of each other. Remind your kids often that you love them. Hope to see you at Family night May 12th! —Panguitch Prevention Coalition

Panguitch Elementary Celebrates Camp Read-A-Lot With Special Guests the Utah Jazz Bear and Dr. Cleo, Molina Healthcare’s Cat Doctor Mascot PANGUITCH - Panguitch Elementary students earned the chance to attend Camp Read-A-Lot by completing a reading challenge within 3 months. With over 260 students completing the required reading, plus extra miler reading, there were over 3900 books read! Most importantly, their minds were expanded and a love for reading was increased. The day started off with a bunch of fun-filled activities. Students were also treated to an outdoor lunch sponsored by our own lovely school lunch ladies and South Central Communications. The highlight was a visit from the UTAH JAZZ BEAR, and Dr. Cleo, Molina Healthcare’s cat doctor, as they partnered up in an assembly at Panguitch Elementary School to teach kids about making healthy choices. “We are thrilled to partner with Jazz to present health education to youth across Utah in a way that will be informative yet entertaining,” says Adam Grimaldo, manager of community outreach for Molina Healthcare of Utah. “Both mascots, Dr. Cleo and Bear, are kid-friendly and bring a memorable element to the assemblies.” The students laughed and cheered as they were enterUCC Field Office Cont’d from page 1
to collect seeds. The park cannot afford to hire enough seasonal employees for this gargantuan task, so Black’s been utilizing UCC crews to work at killing weeds and gathering seeds for the past ten years. “It’s been a good experience,” he said. “They’re responsible and hard working. They’re ready to get out there and make a difference.” This summer the UCC will have three crews, twelve people total, based out of Escalante. One crew will be working on fuels reduction projects in the southeastern part of the state, another crew will be working on fuels reduction projects around Moab as well as working on trails in the High Uintas, and a third crew will be working for the Escalante River Watershed Partnership removing Russian olive in the Dixie National Forest. The crews will be arriving May 17th and Escalante City has entered into an agreement with UCC to allow crews to set up camp at the Mohr Christensen City Park during their off time. “This is hugely important for us,” said Kristina Waggoner, project coordinator for the Escalante River Watershed Partnership. Having crews drive down from Logan every week just didn’t make sense, she explained. “Now they’ll be here, they’ll be local, and we can get more done.”
Just a reminder that for nearly 100 years, we have offered a tradition of

Stoldal said he’s excited to have a field office based in Escalante because he sees an opportunity to make a difference in a small town. “Our potential impact here is stronger than it is for our other field offices in Moab or Salt Lake City or Logan,” he said. “We have crew members coming back in their off time and returning to the same businesses here in town, spending money and adding to the conversation. And we’re trying to employ more locals.” Also, Stoldal said he wants to “instill a sense of responsibility” in corps members. “We’re forming stewards for the next generation,” he said. “Escalante is a good place for this.” The UCC is made up of all different types of people, said Stoldal. Some have completed college with degrees in forestry or natural resources and are looking to gain experience in their field before applying for jobs with the National Park Service or the Forest Service. Some members have degrees or are working toward degrees in fields entirely unrelated to the outdoors and are looking for a fulfilling way to spend a summer. Other members are seeking to build skills for wildfire crew work. Most crew members find it a unique opportunity to spend time doing something they love – living and working outdoors. One thing most UCCers have in common is their
willingness to work hard and receive next to nothing for it. Crew members receive $1,100 per month for 40 hour work weeks filled with strenuous physical labor ranging from digging out irrigation ditches in Capitol Reef National Park, to stringing miles of fence across BLM lands around Moab, to carrying chainsaws throughout the canyons of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument while working on Russian olive removal. In addition to his or her work week, each crew member is required to complete 10 hours of community service every month. Service projects in Escalante will include working with the city landscaping on Main Street and volunteering at the Escalante Canyons Arts Festival. “By the end of the season,” said Stoldal, ”I think a lot of these folks learn the value of hard work and serving the community.” He reflected on the similarity of today’s conservation corps workers with the Civilian Conservation Corps of the 1930s, whose members worked on projects throughout southern Utah that remain valuable to this day. Monuments to their work can be seen dotted throughout the counties and many old-timers remember the camps and the workers of that era. “The same principles are there,” said Stoldal. “The tools and techniques are the same, but it’s a different generation.”

By Cynthia Kimball Loyalty is a Labrador retriever. It is having eyes only for your companion. It is meaning what you say and saying what you mean. It is dedication. It is honesty. It is defending truth, knowledge, righteousness, name, and reputation. It is being there (present). It is time. According to Wikipedia, “Loyalty is faithfulness or a devotion to a person, country, group, or cause.” LDS church leader Gordon B. Hinckley said, “I think of loyalty in terms of being true to ourselves.”. Are you true to yourself or do you wear a being cool and popular mask? Do you act one
Conservation Confusion: Do You Know How to Save Water? SALT LAKE CITY - There appears to be some confusion when it comes to water conservation. A new survey finds many people underestimate how much water they use in their daily activities. Study author Shahzeen Attari, an assistant professor at Indiana University-Bloomington's School of Public and Environmental Affairs, says most people believe curtailing use is the best strategy to save water, but efficiency measures are actually more effective. Particularly in a state like Utah, she says water is an essential but neglected resource, and people need a better understanding of how to save it. According to the survey, a large percentage of people cited taking shorter showers, which Attari says does save water but may not be the most effective action. Very few participants cited
How to Be Loyal
way to your friends, but an entirely another way to your family and God? Hinckley also said, “I think of it in terms of being absolutely faithful to our chosen companions.” I know a man who is loyal. He does not have a wandering eye. He is consistent with his words and behavior. And you feel secure in his presence (and actually absence too). What do you need to do to be loyal? You need to take action. First, observe a Labrador retriever. Write down your observations about how fiercely loyal he is to his owner. Next, observe someone
you know who is loyal. What do they say and do that makes them loyal? Write those observations down as well. Now take off the worldly masks you are wearing. Doing so you will find out who you really are. A divinely orchestrated son or daughter of God. Who was destined to be loyal.

Sunlight on the Cockscomb May 1, 2014 My favorite bedroom window is the one in my western wall. It neatly frames the Cockscomb ridge. Massive and rugged and tall. Early on each clear morning, regular as you please, The sun climbs up and goes to work, over the eastern trees. The first light hits on the top of that ridge while I lie on my bed and watch. The shine and the shadows outline each crag, each tree, each outcrop and notch. The palette of colors that ridge can display, and the artwork the sun can create, Can often cause me to lie there and watch, and start my day a bit late. I kind of figure that if I am offered an hour of glory and beauty, I’ll take it, by golly! There’s lots of time later to attend to doing my duty.
replacing toilets or flushing less, even though toilets use the greatest daily indoor water volume. The survey found men and older people, and those who have a good understanding of numerical concepts, were more likely to have an accurate perception of water use.
Attari stresses the goal of the survey was to correct perceptions and encourage people to adopt more effective efficiency measures to save water at home. The research appears in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. —Troy Wilde, Utah News Connection
Cross Country Move
When we moved across the country, my wife and I decided to drive both of our cars. Nathan, our eight-year-old, worriedly asked, "How will we keep from getting separated?" "We'll drive slowly so that one car can follow the other," I reassured him. "Yeah, but what if we DO get separated?" he persisted. "Well, then I guess we'll never see each other again," I quipped. "Okay," he said. "I'm riding with Mom."
Neighbors
Every time the man next door headed toward Robinson's house, Robinson knew he was coming to borrow something. "He won't get away with it this time," muttered Robinson to his wife. "Watch this." "Er, I wonder if you'd be using your power-saw this morning," the neighbor began. "Gee, I'm awfully sorry," said Robinson with a smug look, "but the fact of the matter is, I'll be using it all day." "In that case," said the neighbor, "you won't be using your golf clubs, mind if I borrow them?"
tHe lAuGhiNg pOiNt!! Shopping Emergency
My mother and my wife, both nurses, were shopping together when a woman in a nearby dressing room fell unconscious. Mom discovered that the woman wasn't breathing, so she and my wife started CPR and revived the shopper just as paramedics arrived. They loaded the woman onto a gurney and were rolling her out of the store when she yelled, "Stop!" My mother and my wife thought maybe she wanted to thank them, but instead she said, "I still want to buy those dresses."
Quick Thinking
As I approached my husband-to-be at the front of the church, I noticed tears in his eyes. I knew he was about to break down. To lighten the moment I made some outrageous faces at him. It worked! The ceremony proceeded smoothly and I was proud of my quick thinking ... until I saw the video.

Wills, Trusts, and More Will and Trust Contests
Ever since the ancient laws of primogeniture (the eldest son gets it all) were swept away by the right to make a will, heirs have objected to even the best made wills and trusts. Conflicts can arise before or during the administration of an estate or a trust. Here are a few common examples of how a Will or Trust could be challenged. Validity: Everybody has the right to dispose of his or her property as they wish, without consideration for the wishes or opinions of family, friends or anyone else. It IS possible, however, to set aside a will or trust. A person contesting the estate plan must prove that at the time it was signed, the deceased lacked mental capacity, or that the will or trust was procured as the result of undue influence, fraud, or duress. Also, some wills or trusts are invalid because they were not properly executed. For example, if the witnesses to the will signed the will after the fact, and did not actually see the decedent sign the will, then the will may be invalidated. Breach of Fiduciary Duty: A fiduciary duty consists of a duty of good faith and fair dealing, and a duty of competency. A fiduciary must always consider the best interests of the trust or estate before his or her own interests. When a personal
by Jeffery J. McKenna representative or trustee profits from his or her position, or fails to safeguard assets, they may have breached their fiduciary duty. The beneficiaries damaged as a result can file a lawsuit against the personal representative or trustee. Contract to Make a Will: Sometimes people make promises they don’t keep. Some of these promises relate to wills and trusts. Here's a common one, "Someday, son, all this will be yours." So what does the son do when dad dies without fulfilling his promise? Sometimes, it is possible to enforce what the courts call a "Contract to Make a Will." If the “contract” was not in writing, it still may be enforceable if the person to whom the promise was made changed his or her position in reliance upon the promise, and suffered a detriment as result. For example, Mom promises to one of her daughters that if she moves in and cares for mom at home for the rest of her life, then that daughter would inherit the home. Then, the daughter gives up her job, sells her home, and takes care of mom around the clock for two years. But after mom's death, the dutiful daughter discovers that mom's will divides mom's entire estate, including the home, between all six children. The daughter may have a valid claim against mom's estate for a breach of contract.

If you are in the process of doing your estate planning, you should consider the issues set forth above in making your estate plan. Your goal should be to create an estate plan that would be as free as possible from any grounds for a will or trust contest. If you are a beneficiary that has been disinherited because of actions taken by other individuals, this article can provide some information related to your situation. In an ideal world, there would be no will or trust disputes. Unfortunately, it is unrealistic to think there would be no will or trust contests. In doing your estate planning, you and your attorney should be mindful of how to create an estate plan that minimizes the possibility of it being contested. Jeffery J.

Old Dryer
With five of her eight children still living at home, my mom is constantly doing laundry. Much to her dismay, her 21-year-old dryer finally gave up the ghost. She bought a new one at the local appliance store, and with the service that comes in small towns, it was delivered the same afternoon. The owner of the store, even hauled the old dryer away. The next morning he called Mom and asked if she wanted the load of wet clothes she had left in the old dryer.
Nail Biting
Most of us have a bad habit we are constantly trying to break. For me, it's biting my fingernails. One day I told my husband about my latest solution: press-on nails. "Great idea, Honey," he smiled. "You can eat them straight out of the box."

School Notes Garfield School District Staffing Changes As the District plans for the upcoming 2014-2015 school year, the necessity arises to make changes in staffing assignments to align with student populations and teacher endorsements. Each year, the District evaluates the class offerings needed for graduation, the number of students in each grade and the teacher’s certifications to determine if changes in staffing would benefit the students academically. I want to make you aware of the latest staffing changes for the 2014-2015 school year in Garfield School District. We have had a difficult time attracting a science teacher to Panguitch High School. We are in need of developing schedules in our high schools so we must solidify class schedules for next year as soon as possible. The transfers and changes are as follows: 1- Mr. Fred Beesley (BVHS Science Teacher) will teach science one day at BVHS and one day at PHS.
The District will continue to advertise for a science teacher at PHS, if we can find a science teacher for PHS before school starts, Mr. Beesley will not need to be transferred and will remain at BHVS as a fulltime science teacher. 2- Mr. Layne LeFevre will be transferred from Escalante High School as a shop teacher back to Bryce Valley High School. Mr. LeFevre will teach shop at BVHS and continue his administrative responsibilities as principal of Bryce Valley Elementary. 3- Mr. Ryan Fisher (Social Studies teacher at EHS) will continue to teach social studies one day and shop classes the following day at EHS. Mr. Fisher will stream a criminal justice class across the District to the students in the other two high schools. Mr. Fischer has experience in automotive, metals and woods. Marcy Certonio has accepted the math teaching posi-
tion at PHS and will begin in August. Also please be aware, the District has applied for Beverly Taylor Sorenson grant money for music teachers in our elementary schools. If the District receives money from the BTS grant we would provide two hours of music at PES and BVES. The teacher would also provide two hours of music at BVHS and PHS. Escalante Elementary would also receive two hours of music instruction. We will not know if we received the BTS funding until the end of May. I would like to thank those individuals who are involved in the District transfers. I appreciate their willingness to accept the changes in their teaching assignments. If you have any questions regarding the staffing changes, please contact me at the District office. —Superintendent Ben Dalton

State Bantam Wrestling Champs PANGUITCH - Local Panguitch youth wrestlers celebrated their 1st place team victory at an ice cream party sponsored by Paul’s Auto. After a long season, the team battled it out at the 2014 little league state tournament held on April 5th in Panguitch. Thirty nine teams participated with over 556 youth entered into the season ending event. Panguitch entered 40 youth ages pre-school to 8th grade. Several local Panguitch youth placed first in their weight class, including Cael Houston, and Porter Schoppe. A big congratulation to these state champions. In addition, 1st place team trophies were awarded to 2A – North Sevier, and 3A – Canyon View. The wrestling tournament is sponsored by much of the local community and proceeds go to support Panguitch wrestling. A big thanks to all who helped sponsor or help put on this event. If not for the services of local volunteers great programs like this wouldn’t exist. Panguitch city can’t be thanked enough for their support. Most of the local wrestling programs are all supported by volunteer coaches who generously donate their time to keep the programs going. Thanks to all our local wrestling coaches and help. You guys know who you are – GOOD JOB guys! Parents, take the time to thank these coaches (they’ve earned it). Congratulations to all our youth and all who continue to support this sport. —Jake Schoppe

She was born to Harvey George Morris, and Etter Ann Pickelsimer Morris, both of whom preceded her in death. Janet worked in Las Vegas in the casino industry from 1964 until her retirement in 2000. She loved to tell stories of when she worked at the Stardust during its infamous historical times and how she loved, in her words, “working for the mob.” Janet’s most enjoyable times in life were when she was traveling by car. She has visited every state in the union, with the exceptions of Maine and Hawaii. Later in life, she and her husband Bill enjoyed building their dream cabin together in southern Utah, a place they shared every summer throughout their marriage. Janet also loved sports, specifically NFL football, and she was proud to be a shareholder in her favorite team, the Green Bay Packers. She was also an avid NASCAR fan.

Loy Earline Pfeiler
KANAB - Loy Earline Pfeiler, 83, died Sunday, April 27th, in Aguila, Arizona. She was born December 15th, 1930 in the tiny town of Roosevelt, Oklahoma to Louis and Gertrude McCarthy. Loy is survived by three children; Randal, Derek (deceased) and Jason. She is also survived by four grandchildren and three great grandchildren. Loy lived a long and eventful life, to describe it in detail would require volumes. Her parents operated a restaurant where even as a small child she had responsibilities, worked hard, and established a life-long work ethic. At the start of World War II the family moved to California where her father was employed in the defense industry. They moved several times from California to Washington State as his skills were needed after the war ended. Gertrude and the girls moved to Las Vegas, Nevada where Gertrude bought and operated a boarding house while her and her sister Peggy went to school. When her father Louis moved back to Sentinel, Oklahoma to operate a restaurant, Loy left Las Vegas to live with him and graduated from Sentinel High School, Class of 1948. After a year of Business School in Wichita Falls, TX she returned to Las Vegas and took a job at the Round-up Drive-in Restaurant where she met and married Louis Holt, the father of her 3 children. She was active in the LDS Church in Boulder City, Nevada where they lived and operated the Ranch Market. After Loy and Louis divorced, she and her future husband Carroll McCall moved to southern Utah to pursue Loy’s dream of living on a ranch in the county with a garden and animals. After a short time at the Old Smith Hotel in Orderville, Utah she moved to Kanab, Utah. Here she bought a home, leased, remodeled and operated the Parrys Lodge Restaurant. Eventually they moved to Springville, Utah to operate the Pioneer Inn Restaurant. In 1975 Loy and Carol divorced and she returned to Kanab where her sister Peggy had previously moved. In the spring of 1976 Loy married Phil Pfeiler who operated the Air Charter Service at the Kanab Airport. She remained married to Phil for the remainder of her life. During the following 38 years the two of them lived on the Sanford Creek Ranch in Panguitch, Utah where they ranched and did Aircraft Maintenance. In 1982 they acquired and re-built a Cessna T210 Airplane which they used for the next 30 years to fly to many interesting places throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Loy was an excellent cook and host to the many friends who visited the ranch. During this time she and Phil learned Square Dancing and later Ballroom-style round dancing and traveled the continent pursuing their passion. She was an avid outdoor person and loved River Running with their friends. Together they built businesses in California, Oregon, Colorado, Utah, Arizona and Nevada. They spent many winters living in the Caribbean where at 65 Loy earned her Open-Water Scuba Diving Certification. She had a winter home in Aguila, Arizona and eventually built a summer home in Crested Butte, Colorado. Her life was filled with excitement, adventure and fun. Her constant enthusiasm, interest and curiosity about life allowed her to live it to the fullest. Funeral services are planned for Saturday, May 3, 2014 at 11:00 AM at Mosdell Mortuary. Viewing will be held from 10:00-10:45 AM at the mortuary. Burial will be in the Kanab Cemetery. Arrangements were made with Mosdell Mortuary.

It is tough times if you are privileged, a celebrity, a politician or a self-serving Nevada rancher and a racist, especially if you have been anywhere around or near anyone with an audio recording device that has a chip on their shoulder. And just when we thought the NSA were the only ones willing and able to spy on us and then laugh among themselves about the stupid things they hear people say in supposed private conversations. Personally I think a vast majority of us might find ourselves front-page news if some of the inadvertent things we sometimes say (often times when we were under the influence) were to find their way into the mainstream media. Yet I also find it to be a sad commentary when the media thinks a society that is economically and politically struggling with important daily issues is at all interested in the Kardashians, the Donald Sterlings and the Cliven Bundys. Who are the Kardashians anyway and why should we care what kind of underwear they wear or if they wear any at all? Yet here I sit writing about them because I struggle to find anything of relevance anywhere in the news. Embarrassed looking naked sheep and little lambs are running everywhere in Wayne County, there is hardly a field in between Torrey and Loa that doesn’t have at least a hundred just sheared sheep and baby lambs in constantly moving flocks. From afar or for someone that needs glasses and haven’t gotten them yet, the large sheep flocks make the ground look as if it is moving.
Approaching a flock on the highway can also be somewhat entertaining especially when you throw in a few foreigners and city slickers into the mix. The anal ones that have just washed their car for the third time that day are particularly comical to watch as they try to perilously avoid all the poop piles on the road. For the most part most of the fields are filled with smiling farmers and have or are being plowed in preparation for spring planting. Fences on the mountain are being repaired and cows and cowboys are getting itchy and anxious to head to the high country for the summer months. Traffic through out Wayne County is reaching a feverish pitch and it is not uncommon to have to wait for a long line of cars until you can get out onto the highway and become on of them. For the walk in Post Office public having to cross the highway is becoming precarious and a life threatening prospect, as a safety measure many locals have taken to wearing hunter orange when going to the post office to retrieve their mail. Johnny Appleseed Ann Torrance of Torrey with the assistance of her friends has just finished planting 300 plus apple trees on her property, and amazing feat in its own right. Soon Torrey will be teaming with organic apples and apple cider up the ying yang. Speaking of planting things, fertilizer and garden tools are flying off the shelves at Harry’s IFA, and gardeners are highly anticipating Mother’s Day so they can put their plants outside. Many a front
room is filled with teenage vegetable organisms ready for the ground. But the old timers roaming the isles at Royals Foodtown warn against getting too anxious and claim Mother’s Day is a safe bet for planting in Wayne County so that you will have greens come summer time. It is that fun time of year when it is acceptable to be seen in muddy shoes and have dirty fingernails and have your butt in air when folks stop by for a visit. Soon you won’t be able to go anywhere without having to stop for an hour or so to complement your neighbor on his/ her garden in hopes they will share the fruits of their labor come harvest time. It is also that time of year when everybody cleans out their basements and garages and have multi family yard sales in hopes of getting rid of all the stuff they bought at yard sales last year and never used. It is amazing how some of those things seem to keep showing in different parts of town year after year, like exercise equipment, initialed bowling balls, one eyed stuffed animals, taxidermy deer carcasses and WWII first aid kits with only four miniature sized band aids in them. Gas prices are as erratic as the spring weather and seem to rise faster than the temperature. Probably a good thing the pioneers came here in handcarts when they did because they sure wouldn’t be able to afford the trip with the gas prices today. Like rising gas prices and as visitors increase to Wayne County EMS services are more and more heavily taxed with all
sorts of tactical and emergency situations, ranging from high angle canyon rescues, to middle of the night falls, strokes, heart attacks and other medical and life threatening emergencies. The behind the scenes Wayne County EMS individuals need to be constantly commended for their unwavering dedication to serving the needs of the local and traveling public. Hug an EMT today; it just might be “you” that may need their skills tomorrow. Jim and Sandy’s annual Cinco de Mayo party down at the park was a big hit. The Independence Day celebration of our friends south of the border filled the dinner table and kitchen with all kinds of delicious dishes. I can’t remember a time when I have seen that many tortilla’s consumed in such a short amount of time as I did Saturday night. It was a real feeding frenzy. Rachel’s cornbread creation was absolutely scrumptious, so much so I had to have more than my share. The hanging Piñata was rather entertaining. A few of the guests got in some pretty good swipes but it wasn’t until Annette Lamb stepped up to the plate with the bubble wrap club, and started swinging like a second grader playing Tee ball did the paper mache bull explode sending candy and mini bottles of tequila into the crowd. As with any party that Jim and Sandy host, music is always the main event. Good food, good friends and good music is what a good time is all about.
FYI Panguitch
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Wasn’t Saturday a great day, no wind and it was warm, it just doesn’t get any better. However it’s spring and it will probably snow sometime this week. Are you used to the daylight saving yet? Isn’t it grand? The bad thing is that we only have two months where the days get longer. June 23rd, the Summer Solstice will mark the day when the time will shorten by 2 minutes a day till Dec. So enjoy the maximum daylight while you can. Most of the happenings are again with the schools. Kathleen Cooper’s, “Camp Read a Lot” rewards day was a huge success. The school met 100% reading with all of the students, they have to read so many books by their grade and ability. The students got a hamburger feast for lunch, cooked by some local volunteers, who really cooked up a storm. When you are cooking for 260 kids it is quite a feat. The hit of the day was the Jazz Bear who came to congratulate the students. The event was sponsored by a very large food company and they and the Bear combined to teach the kids proper eating habits. No the Bear didn’t jump off any tall buildings, but he was a lot of fun and the kids loved him. Kathleen Cooper has been the librarian at the Elementary school for 9 years and really makes reading fun. Her husband Jimmy, after being a line driver forever is taking a driving job in Roosevelt. He will be home every night and has benefits. Kathleen and Jimmy will be moving to Roosevelt at the end of the school year. Both have lived their lives here in Panguitch and it will be a big change for them. Jimmy sings at many of the funerals and at church function, over the years and if you are lucky, you might have one of his records. The Coopers are not selling their home and plan on coming back after Jimmy retires, so don’t die for 5 or so years. Kathleen told me that the reason Jimmy doesn’t look like most line drivers, over weight and out of shape, he really works at it. When he stops he walks around the truck, to keep the circulation going in his legs. Fast food is also out, Jimmy
cooks his own meals. Wyatt Moore Son of Kevin and Deanna Roe Moore, is attending the Art Institute of SLC. He is earning his degree in Graphic Design. This last quarter Wyatt was awarded the “Presidential Award” for having a 4.0 GPA. He set his goal to receive this award. He had received the “Deans Award” with a 3.8 GPA in the other quarters. Wyatt enjoys the classes he has been taking and has learned to draw portraits and scenery. His other classes have been photography and computers, with all of the generals that are required. In September he will finish his required classes and will receive his Associates in Graphic Design in 2015. Congratulations to Wyatt! Bet Grandma LaVenda is very proud. The First Ward Young Women will be hosting a fund raiser spaghetti dinner next Wednesday May 14. The cost will be $5.00 single and $25.00 for the family. This is open for the whole town. It will be good food and good company and a great price. The money will be used to fund camp this year! This week the 2nd ward young women are also having a spaghetti dinner. I have seen the flyers around town. It is this Friday so spaghetti two weeks on Fridays isn’t too bad and it is for a good cause. Double check, it may be the 3rd ward girls , which ever, it is worth your attendance Tuesday May 13, will be the blood drive, at the Stake Center and will run from 1:30 to 8:00. This will be an Eagle Project for Jace Eyre’s. Walkins are always welcome or you can make an appointment by calling 676-2453. If you are on a diet, this is a good way to lose a # in 15 minutes. Even Utah had a surge in the affordable health insurance, more than double in the last month, than in all of the previous months combined. 84,601 Utahans have signed up, this out paced the 57,000 person goal set for the state by the Congressional Budget Office. Also 10,384 more Utahans signed up for Medicaid and CHIPS via the exchange than would have been typical prior to its launch. Maybe next year
Utah will get behind the Affordable Insurance and many more will have coverage. We have been losing way too many men, that had one thing in common that they were in the service of their Country in the Military in Vietnam War between 1962 and the 1970’s. It is presumed they were exposed to Agent Orange, a herbicide the U.S. used to remove jungle that gave the enemy coverage. The VA presumes the following diseases to be service-connected to exposed Veterans: AL amyloidosis, chloracne, or other acneform disease. Porhyria cutanea tarda, soft-tissue sarcoma, Hodgkin’s disease, multiple myeloma, respiratory
cancers (lung, bronchus, larynx trachea), non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, prostate cancer, acute and subacute perifheral neuropathy, diabetes mellitus (type 2) all chronic B-cell leukemia’s, Parkinson’s disease and ischemic heart disease. Information on this mater is available through VA’s special helpline at 1-800 749-8387. I have purchased a number of the benefit for Veterans books. They are free if you belong to the American Legion or $5.00, my cost. Slow down, it’s not how fast you get there, but what you see along the way. Mack O.

All are worth the time it takes to stop in for a bite. And Bowdie and Eschelle have their smoothies and coffee shop for your pleasure as well. Well today was one of those exquisite miseries we all experience when it comes time to say goodbye to a child who has grown up and is off to a new adventure in life. Be it a mission, college, marriage or whatever it still makes you proud while at the same time your heart is giving you problems. In this case it was our granddaughter Cambry Jensen as she departs on Tuesday to the Peru MTC for eighteen months of a mission. We wish her well and know she will do well but we will miss her. T. J. & Sheila Johnson's son, Kaden, just received his mission call to Bahia Blanca Argentina. Congratulations to him. Grandparents in Bryce Canyon City are Rod and Kathern Syrett. Tanner Barton also received his mission call to Mexico Caracas(?) mission. I was unable to get the correct pronunciation of the missions name so I hope I came close. He will enter the Provo MTC on August 20th. He is the son of Scott and Marie Barton of Tropic and the grandson of Berdell and Carma Barton of Tropic, and the late Mendenhall's of Cedar City. Congratulations to you Tanner. John and Ramona Morreale went to Salt Lake to attend the graduation of son,Raphael Morreale from University of Utah with a degree in Health and Nutrition. He will be able to help people plan a healthy life style and even lose weight. Traveling from Cedar City to attend his brother's graduation was Jacob Moss, sister Tamara and from the Salt Lake area those attending were Jeremy and Sarah Moss, Christine Labrum and Gloria? Sorry I missed the last name. We congratulate you Raphael and wish you luck with your future plans. The Escalante Stake Boy Scout Campout will take place this Friday and Saturday in the

USDA Announces Funding to Spur Local and Regional Economic Growth in America's Rural Communities SALT LAKE CITY - Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced on May 2nd the availability of funding to promote long-term economic growth and community vitality in rural areas. With the announcement, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) invites applications for funding through three community and economic development programs administered by USDA Rural Development. “USDA is committed to helping rural communities access the resources they need to implement strategies that will invigorate the economy, reduce poverty and enhance the quality of life in our small towns and rural areas for years to come,” Vilsack said. The announcement includes $30.6 million in zerointerest loans and $9.2 million in grants to establish revolving loan funds that finance business and economic development activities in rural areas. Applications for these funds will be accepted through the Rural Economic Development Loan and Grant (REDLG) Program. Rural utilities that are eligible for USDA financing under the Rural Electrification Act and have the capacity to serve as intermediary lenders may apply to USDA Rural Development to administer the funds locally for the benefit of specifically identified projects. These intermediaries re-lend REDLG funds at zero percent to assist with business startup and expansion, business technical assistance and job training, and community facilities projects that support economic development. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis through USDA Rural Development State Offices and are evaluated for funding consideration monthly. Through the Rural Business Opportunity Grant (RBOG) Program, USDA Rural Development is accepting competitive grant applications to improve economic conditions in designated Rural Economic Area Partnership Zones and for members of Native American tribes in rural areas. Government entities, nonprof-
it corporations, institutions of higher education, rural cooperatives and Native American tribes may apply for grants of up to $100,000. Funding may be used to support business incubators, feasibility studies and business plans, long-term strategic business planning, leadership and entrepreneurial training, and other related efforts. Just over $1.3 million is reserved for projects benefiting Native American communities. Another $919,820 is reserved for projects with Rural Economic Area Partnerships. In addition, USDA announces the availability of two grants from funds appropriated for the Rural Business Enterprise Grant (RBEG) program: a $500,000 grant for rural transportation projects and a $250,000 grant for Federally Recognized Native American Tribes. Funds may be used to provide technical assistance and training to help rural communities improve passenger transportation services or facilities. These USDA programs provide key support needed to create rural jobs and promote local and regional economic growth. Recently in Utah both Morgan and Price cities received loan funds through the Rural Economic Development Loan Program to build hotels which will create competitive jobs in the rural communities. Application deadlines and details for all three programs are availableas of May 2 in the Federal Register. President Obama’s plan for rural America has brought about historic investment and resulted in stronger rural communities. Under the President’s leadership, these investments in housing, community facilities, businesses and infrastructure have empowered rural America to continue leading the way – strengthening America’s economy, small towns and rural communities. USDA’s investments in rural communities support the rural way of life that stands as the backbone of our American values.\ —USDA Rural Development Agency
