The program is a special Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Walks and Talks Lecture Series presentation to be held at the Escalante Interagency Visitor Center located at 755 West Main, in Escalante, Utah. Beginning at 7:00 p.m. Dr. Eric Roberts will paint a picture of what the environment looked like 75 million years ago by revealing what he has unearthed in one of the best preserved continental vertebrate bearing successions in the world, the Kaiparowits Formation. Along with the Kaiparowits, Dr. Roberts has primarily focused his research on reconstructing the sedimentary and tectonic histories of late Mesozoic and early Tertiary continental basins, including those of the Lufeng Basin in China and a suite of sedimentary basins in Gondwana.

Michael Brown, Ellis Brown, and Albert Brown of Brown Brothers Construction.

Brown Brothers Construction Named Among Top Twelve Contractors in the U.S. LOA - Brown Brothers Construction, a Loa, Utahbased road construction and excavation company, is among twelve U.S. construction companies who were recently honored by Equipment World Magazine as part of the publication’s 2013 Contractor of the Year event, also sponsored in part by Caterpillar. According to the construction industry trade magazine, the annual event recognizes those companies who exemplify the highest standards of construction professionals: business acumen, equipment management expertise, attention to safety, and community involvement. Brown Brothers Construction company is owned

by, Albert, Ellis, and Michael Brown. The company started in 1963 with one backhoe, installing water lines and excavating basements. It soon graduated to drilling road site preparation and building reservoirs, parking lots and the segment of Utah Highway 24 that runs through Loa, Utah. Brown Brothers continues performing a variety of road construction and excavation projects state wide working for various government agencies and private entities. The brothers appreciate the good work ethic that seems to be inherent in the rural area surrounding the firm. And fourth generation family involvement includes four sons,

one daughter and a son-in-law. The companies named among the top twelve contractors for 2013 were chosen from over 80,000 construction companies nationwide. Brown Brothers Construction is the first Utah company ever to be honored among the companies who have been selected as part of the Equipment World Magazine Contractor of the Year. Representatives from each of the twelve companies were flown to Las Vegas in March, all expenses paid, for a weekend of events including industry roundtables, an awards banquet and a trip to a NASCAR race. —Brown Brothers Conctruction

LOA - Two of Garkane Energy’s most veteran employees have been recognized for their many years of outstanding service to the company and to our communities. Currently leaving the company for retirement is Chief Financial Officer Stan Chappell, who has worked with Garkane Energy for 37 years. Also being reconized for service is Sherolyn Langston, who served as Executive Assistant to the Chief Executive Officer. Ms. Langston retired recently after working with the company for 33 years, from December 1979 through December 2012. Stan Chappell graduated from Wayne High School in 1969 and attended Dixie Junior College, Brigham Young University, and received a BS degree in accounting from Utah State University in 1974. He has been married to Becky Peacock for 39 years. They have 4 children, three daughters, one son, and eight grandchildren. They reside in Richfield. Stan likes to hunt, fish, and play lots of golf. After retiring he plans to travel, visit and enjoy family & grandchildren, and golf. Garkane’s CEO Carl Albrecht said, “Stan came to work in 1976. He was working at Bullfrog on Lake Powell for

the concessionaire at the time we hired him. He has been a very dedicated loyal employee and has been a great caretaker of Garkane’s finances through out his career. He has always looked out for the company’s best interests and through the years has saved Garkane a lot of money through his conservative nature and shrewd dealings.” Marcus Lewis will replace Stan as the new CFO. Mr. Chapell stated, “After 37 years, I can still recall the feelings of excitement of a new job, meeting new friends, facing new challenges, and the anticipation of opportunities that lay ahead with the chance of working for Garkane Energy. What is most amazing after those 37 years with Garkane is that I still find the job exciting, challenging, and the opportunities never stop. New friends have now become life-long friends. I attribute these things to the cooperative principle and the way Garkane conducts its business, and the way it treats its customers & employees. Garkane has been great to my family, and I will be forever grateful. I’m proud to be part of her success the past 37 years, and I wish only the best for the cooperative in the future.” —Garkane Energy

Faster Than a Mule BOULDER MAIL TRAIL - On April 28, four ambitious runners from Escalante ran the Boulder Mail Trail in the “up” direction, starting behind Escalante High School and ending at the Boulder air strip. Runners were Mark Aliprandini, who beat the pack, making it point to point in 4 hours and 42 minutes, Kendall Farnsworth and Sarah Edmunds, each of whom clocked in at 4 hours and 50 minutes (sounds like somebody was right on somebody’s heels, or maybe somebody got a piggy-back ride), and Sandy Brown, who came in at exactly 6 hours. Sandy had predicted her time in advance, and left an hour earlier than others. Word too is that a few individuals did get some poison ivy along the way. —Insider Report

Utah, There is No Better Place

U.S. Chamber of Commerce ranks Utah as the top performer in the nation Salt Lake City - The U.S. Chamber of Commerce in this year’s Enterprising States report has named Utah a “boom state.” The authors declared that Utah was the only state in the nation that had successfully ranked as a “Top 10” state in all six areas they assessed. Those categories are: economic performance, exports, business climate, talent pipeline, infrastructure and innovation & entrepreneurship. “I am very pleased with the rankings given by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce report because they reflect our State’s determination to lead the nation in economic performance,” Governor Gary R. Herbert said. “As the Wall Street Journal noted, Utah truly is the ‘brightest shining star’ on the nation’s flag.” A few of the major reasons cited by the U.S. Chamber report for Utah’s outstanding performance are the state’s focus on high-tech business, STEM education and exporting. In the last few months Utah has been recognized for having the lowest healthcare costs in the nation, 30 Best Cities for Young Entrepreneurs, a strong and growing financial business sector, and the “Best State for Business and Careers.” “Utah leads the charge as the nation comes back from the economic recession. We can say with confidence that Utah’s future as the emerging ‘Wall Street west’ looks brighter than ever,” Spencer Eccles, Executive Director of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development said. It is a pleasure to see that “Utah is leading the nation as the best performing economy and is being recognized as a premier global business destination.” The report acknowledged that Utah is one of the nation’s top exporters in electronic memory circuits, aircraft engines and parts, vehicle airbag systems, and X-ray equipment. It also recognized Utah’s highly developed partnerships among government, higher education and the private sector when it cited the development of the Ogden Business Center, “Startup Ogden,” as only one example of the state’s support of small business development. Utah ranked 3rd in “Business Birthrate” and 7th in “Growth of Self Employed Workers.” The Utah legislature is also recognized by the report for its many partnerships and support of the state’s economic development efforts. One program it recognized is the Utah Science, Technology and Research (USTAR) initiative which has built two cutting edge high-tech facilities at Utah State University and at the University of Utah. The Enterprising States report underscores that, in Utah, whether a business is large or small or if the technology is new or mature a growing business can find a supportive environment in Utah. —Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development

A Monumental Error About Monuments by Dennis Willis

originally published in the Carbon County SUN ADVOCATE

When I read Carbon County Commissioner John Jones’ testimony to Congress on the Antiquities Act, I was stunned by his statement; the people of rural Utah, “live in fear,” of the presidential power to create National Monuments. Further in his testimony, Commissioner Jones described how the designation of the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, “devastated the economies of Kane and Garfield Counties and the lifestyles of the people who live there.” In the devastating twelve years after the designation their population rose by 8%, jobs rose by 38% and per capita income increased by 30%. By comparison Carbon County should be in the chips since the 1996 monument designation. Along with not being encumbered by a monument, Carbon enjoyed a net loss of federal land within the county. Several thousand acres of mineral rich BLM lands in Carbon County were transferred to the State of Utah. Since the designation, Carbon has seen the

development of four coalbed methane fields, a conventional gas field, some limited oil drilling. The Lila Canyon Coal Mine opened just across the line in Emery County. The nearest population center, coal shipping facility and mine service companies are all in Carbon County. While the monument is closed to oil and gas development, 78% of the public lands in Carbon and Emery Counties are available for leasing. While the population around the GSENM was growing, Carbon County population declined and has just recovered to the 1996 level. Jobs grew by about 3%. Per capita income grew by just 11%. In 1996 both Kane and Garfield counties had lower per capita income than did Carbon. The reverse is now true despite all the extractive industry development in Carbon. Compounding our economic woes, Carbon County is rated as the least healthy county in the state. Our access to medical facilities and providers is ranked 9th out of 29 counties yet we rank last for overall

health. Good access to health care does not overcome our behavioral and socio-economic risk factors. Carbon County has been home for over half of my 60 years. I have a passion for this place and appreciation for the folks who live here. I turned down very nice offers to work and live elsewhere. The point of this essay is not to run down Carbon County. This community does not live in fear of monuments or monsters under the bed. We do not benefit by feeling sorry for counties that have fared better than us. We would be best served by working to make our community more livable, our people healthier. If we have a collective fault it is clinging to the gambler’s dream, hoping the next coal mine or gas play somehow assures prosperity. Instead of waiting for our futures to be decided in far away corporate board rooms, we should be creating it for ourselves. Dennis Willis is a resident of Price, Utah.

The BYU Invitational took place last weekend, the 3rd and 4th of May in Provo. It was an extraordinary event with new records set and a remarkable atmosphere that brought athletes together to show their hard year’s work and training. The BYU Invitational includes athletes 1A-5A from all across the state and even some schools from neighboring states. It is truly the biggest and most inspirational track and field event of the year. This meet is separated into two separate sections with 1A and 2A competing against each other and 3A, 4A, and 5A in another category. This year, six athletes from Wayne High school stood among the top finishers amidst hundreds of athletes. The girl’s 4X1 team was pegged to do very well at this competition. The two pairs of sisters, Maggie Ellett, Hannah Ellett, Clarissa Johnson, and Catrina Johnson, have perfected their hand-offs and have such a great team unity that they placed second with a time of 51.51 seconds behind Emery High School, a 2A team, and beat out the other fourteen teams that competed. This means they are currently ranked first in the 1A division and have an incredible standing for state. Congratulations, girls, and we can’t wait to see how you do in the next couple of weeks! The Badgers also had three other top finishers who shined in their individual events. Kaitlyn McCoy, a mere freshman, is quite the high-jumper. Kaitlyn has had a bad injury in her knee this year, but despite that, she managed to place 8th in the high jump with a height of 4’9”. Also, Hannah Ellett, a sophomore, ran in the finals for the girls 300 meter hurdle race and finished 7th with a time of 49.18 seconds. Lauren Jackson also finished 7th in the girl’s 800 meter dash with a time of 2:28. Other considerable mentions would be Clarissa who was included in the top ten for the 100 meter, 200 meter, and 400 meter and 11th in the long jump and Lauren who took 9th in the 1600 meter race. Great job to all the athletes and we anticipate how region and state will turn out. Region took place yesterday in Bryce Valley and the results will be posted in the next issue.

School Notes

more difficult question until the student tops out of their cognitive ability. If a student misses a question, the next question will be easier. The SAGE test will not be limited to multiple choice questions like the CRT test. SAGE will have the ability to provide questions that are interactive, ask for demonstration of an idea by highlighting, and drag and drop sentences from reading passages. These types of assessments allow student to demonstrate what they know and not just guess by selecting A,B,C, or D. This type of testing is commonly referred to as “adaptive assessments.” The SAGE adaptive assessment will allow students to be tested in fall, winter and spring. With the assessments at the beginning of the year, it will be much easier to track a student’s growth or progress in that particular class. SAGE will also allow formal assessments which is a term used for

informal exercises. With formal assessments, teachers will be able to assess students more frequently allowing the teacher to change their instruction to meet the student’s needs. Personally, I am looking forward to the changes in the assessment. I think SAGE will allow the teachers to track the students progress more frequently which will allow feedback to occur throughout the year instead of a one shot test at the end of the of the school year. My only concern with the new system is the cost associated with the new SAGE testing program. The State of Utah has committed to pay $39 million for the new testing program. I understand the importance of testing to demonstrate competence and accountability but I sometimes wonder if $39 million could be spent in different areas to improve a student’s success. —Superintendent Ben Dalton

CRT and SAGE You might have heard your students talking about taking the Core Test in their classes over the past few weeks. School Districts in the State of Utah are required to administer CRT (Criterion Referenced Test) in math, language arts and science. The CRT tests are administered to 3rd through 12th grades. The CRT tests have been multiple choice assessments taken by the students on a computer. With the changes at the Utah State Office of Education this will be the last year the students will take the traditional CRT test. Next year, students will be tested on a new system with different types of assessments. The new system is called SAGE (Student Assessment of Growth and Excellence). The new SAGE test will adapt questions to accommodate the student’s strengths and weaknesses. For example, if a student selects the correct answer the test will then ask a

Loa Elementary Snippets by Lisa Stevens

Students Gear Up for Field Day Fun Only 2 more weeks of school remain and the calendar of upcoming events is overflowing! Tomorrow students and teachers from the Mountain Heights Academy have volunteered to set up an obstacle course for the Fun Run fundraiser. Students will be given 45 minutes tomorrow to complete as many laps of the course as they can, make sure to wear good running gear and bring a water bottle. Students were given pledge forms last week and for safety reasons have been asked to collect pledges from family and close family friends only; however, if anyone would like to donate money to this event can do so by taking a donation to the school office; it will be greatly appreciated. Parents remind your students to turn in their pledge money in the morning; donations will be used for fieldtrips, assemblies, supplies and more. Mrs. Jan Brown would like to announce this year’s preschool graduation ceremonies. Students who attend the Monday/Wednesday session will graduate on Monday May 13 at 9:00 a.m. in the elementary school gymnasium; students who attend the Tuesday/ Thursday session will graduate on Tuesday May 14 at

9:00 a.m., also in the gymnasium. Everyone is welcome to come, this year’s theme will be “Look at me Now” “It has been a great year!” said Mrs. Brown, “Thank you to all of the wonderful parents for the opportunity that I have had to work with your child. This year has been a great, fun year.” Mrs. Brown would also like to thank the preschool paraprofessionals for all of their hard work and creativity this year. The Kindergarten students have just finished learning about living and non-living things; they will end the year studying a little bit about the moon and plants. The students are now able to add and subtract, and can reading short stories! Like all of the students the Kindergarten classes are also in the middle of the end of level testing, “Our students are doing well and showing a lot of improvement.” Stated Mrs. Nichole Blackburn, “Re-

member to read during the summer, students will regress if they don’t practice.” Mrs. Blackburn would also like to thank all of her parent volunteers this year, “Thank you for coming in and helping. It makes a huge difference in our students.” The community council would like to thank board member Nichole Brown; Nichole volunteered to provide a luncheon for the teachers during SEP conferences on Wednesday May 1. We wanted to show the faculty and staff of Loa Elementary how much we love and appreciate them. We extend a heartfelt thank you to Nichole, Marie Jensen, and any others who took the time to prepare, plan and provide that dinner.

Bryce Valley Fourth Grade Visits Fremont and Cove Fort

We had a glorious day of visiting places that became real to us as we studied them in the classroom. We went to Fremont State Indian Park and Cove Fort. One told us about the Native Americans of Utah and the other told us about the Pioneers who came to Utah. We study these as part of the core curriculum for fourth grade. We were excited to have one of our favorite bus drivers take us this day, Herb Baugh. He is always fun when he drives the bus for us. We also had Kassidi Floyd, Stacey Mathews, and Ashley Nelson come along to act as chaperones for us. At Fremont the students did research in the museum about the Fremont Indians, we discovered the rock art petroglyphs along the Parade of Art trail, the students hunted with an atlatl and experienced what it was like to live in a pit house. Then we hiked to 100 Hand Cave. At Cove Fort we watched a movie on the history of Cove Fort in the Ira Hinckley cabin, We toured the fort and had fun activities in the outer buildings: the blacksmith shop, the bunkhouse and the big barn. On the bus ride home we played pioneer with toys of the era. We had a memorable day of learning! —Vicki Syrett

and mothers day next – we are so excited to be learning about so many things! 2nd grade: Our class did a goods and services store. Everything was 50 cents or less. We sold things like gak, paper air planes, cookies, cup cakes and did face paints , finger nails. We got a lot of money! J My brother chose to make gak. It’s a rubber kind of play dough. We found a recipe on line, 1 bottle of Elmer’s glue, and the same amount of liquid starch, plus a few drops of food coloring. The first batch we made turned out perfect. The next 2 batches didn’t work! They were all stringy and separated and so we were going to give up on it and try to make something else. Then Dad had the idea to heat it up in the microwave! It worked and it kind of melted together. We got 16 baggies of blob of gak and my brother sold them all! 3rd grade: No News for this class. 4th We went to Cove Fort and Fremont Indian State Park. It was a fun adventure and we really learned a lot about the Pioneers and Native Americans of Utah. 5th grade has been learning how to subtract and add integers and are getting good

at it. We also did some fun experiments; number1, 2 T. corn starch, 1T water, stir and add a little more corn starch when stirring. When you squeeze it in your hand or put pressure on it, it goes hard. But when you take the pressure off it it goes back in to a liquid and looks like its melting! Number 2, put 4 t. sugar and 20 t. of water in a glass. Put it a sunny spot and watch the crystals grow! The last 2 weeks we have been core testing, which is the big test at the end of the year to see if you are doing as well as the State requires. It has been going really well. We answer questions on Math, Science, Language Arts, and Social Studies. The first day of testing is exciting and nerve racking! We were all prepared and nervous then the computers would not accept the password so we had to begin the next day. A big thanks and a Mustang cheer to Mr. LeFevre for being an awesome, cool, fun principal! He’s definitely our “Pal”! He keeps our school in shape and fun. We like how he always is in a good mood and had fun joking and saying “Hi”. You’re the best!! 6th grade: No news today.

Hair stylist and Beauty Salons have been doing a brisk business as Spring in the Rockies makes its yearly appearance TheTorrey wind has been blowing so hard this past week that there isn’t enough Brylcreem or TRESemmé hairspray products at Royals market in Loa to keep everybody’s hair neatly in place. In fact axle grease probably wouldn’t have help much to keep things in place against the 40 mph wind blowing through town that displaced trash cans, lawn furniture, small children on bicycles and free roaming pets. The word at the Chuckwagon is that a visitor from Vermont has offered a reward for his wayward French handmade and real hair hairpiece. The Torrey area hikers group, the dedicated Capitol Reef National Park Rangers, Deputy Ernie, Kevin Hatch and all the Wayne County High School students that ride the Hanskville school bus have been on the look out hoping to cash in on the Vermont visitors real hair hairpiece reward money. As we all know the bad often comes with good and the welcome and much needed rain on Monday was about as much as a good church going Wayne County farmer could ask for. The Weather in Wayne County has and probably always will be a primary source of in-depth conversation where ever you go, or in places where more than two people gather in town, which is usually at the local post office or the toilet paper isle at Royals. Heavily laden pollen carrying bees have also made their spring reappearance. Like

something from a ridiculously bad “B” Hollywood movie, all the while they buzzingly and prominently probe with their pointed noses, extracting pollen and yellow nectar from the overly heavily buds of the annual fruit orchard blossom. that are out on some of the fruit trees, not to mention the perennial flowers that at this time of year are constantly struggling and searching like the rest of us grasping for any warmth from the spring sunshine. It is also that time of year that when like at a funeral of a friend it becomes real that you soulfully learn that you have lost one of your oldest friends and that one of your life long nurtured fruit trees in your orchard “didn’t quite make it through the winter”. That sad moment of final realization when you have to accept the fact that “old man” winter, without any compassion took his final death toll and all that is left of your old friend is blank and vacant branches, with maybe a depraved bird nest that has the appearance of a New Jersey projects abandoned apartment complex. Your old friend, the long life fruit baring tree destined to be chopped into small pieces and become fruit wood chips, smoked and cremated in Duane’s Sall’s backyard barbeque. Fruit tree funerals and the fact that up county apricot trees above the Capitol Reef National Park elevation may not bare fruit in 2013 and there is a hopeful possibility that the hardiest of Lilac bushes in Torrey will be turning bright purple and producing a fine

crop of the sweet smelling flowers. And that they will soon be appearing on supper and bedside tables throughout Wayne Count and should be no surprise that the sweet smell of the Lilac’s blooming and Mother’s Day is upon us. Not to go without mention is the fresh, old wood fence lined succulent Wayne County Asparagus harvest. Asparagus likes to grow in a variety of places, depending on the species. Asparagus likes water, but not waterlogged areas. It grows in well draining soil, near ditches or riverbeds and alluvial plains, where there is plenty of moisture nearby. It usually likes full sun, though some varieties also tolerate heavier soil and semi-shaded areas. Although asparagus has a very distinctive appearance, it can be hard to spot. Once the Torrey Town ditch (canal) water began to flow in April, avid and well armed Asparagus hunters like the infamous long time Asparagus stalker and eagle eyed Asparagus spotter Scott Chesnut, locally known as the “Nut” were on the Asparagus prowl, no young sumptuous Asparagus sprout is safe from the “Nut”. For any aspiring amateur Asparagus hunter/connoisseur, the local Torrey area Asparagus is a well-known delicacy and is best safely acquired by flashlight and after dark, while the “Nut” is eloquently and nightly reading his three young kids their bedtime stories. Ditch maintenance is also a constant town concern; if you remove trash from the ditch it is your personal responsibility

to remove and deal with the debris. Torrey Town has in an effect a Town Ordinance that addresses ditch/ canal debris violations and is being presently and aggressively enforced. If you feel compelled to challenge the Torrey Town ditch ordinance or any other Torrey Town Ordinances contact Richard Chamberlain Torrey Town Attorney at Law 225 N 100 E Richfield, UT 84701 Tel: (435) 896-4461 Fax: (435) 896-5441 All legal inquires are at your own expense! Also of prime and ever lasting importance to low and moderately income Wayne County and future wannabe Torrey families is a Torrey Town Self Help and home building /ownership program. In a coordinated effort and in conjunction with the Six County Association of Governments and through sweat equity for low income and qualified individuals, affordable local housing is being resourcefully investigated by the present Torrey Town Administration, the State of Utah and in conjunction with the ever resourceful efforts of the Six County Association of Governments affordable housing staff.

I spent last weekend with my two daughters. Patrice Cottam and I picked Jillyn Sorensen up in Salina and went to Provo for the funeral of Aloha Porter. It was sad, but nice at the same time, to be with the Porter family again. We also got to see a lot of former residents and friends from Escalante. Like Kenneth Griffin, (Kenneth will be 95 in July. He said that day if he had known he was going to live so long he would have taken better care of himself!), DeLoa Thompson, Jean (Lewis) Griffin, all of Provo, Vernon and Peggy Roundy, Monroe, Jim and Jolyn Spencer, Orem, to name a few. DeLane Griffin and three of his daughters, Ann, Marlene and Marilee were there, from Escalante, as were Ben and Renee Porter. Reunions are much more fun when there is not a funeral involved. Renee Porter spent last Friday in Tropic with her sister, Ruth Baugh. They went out to lunch and enjoyed just visiting and getting caught up on all the family news. There will be a Sarah Smith Griffin Reunion in Escalante on Saturday, May 25th, at the Stake Center. This also includes the Porter family. The first day of Spring was supposed to be in March, but we just keep having it over and over again. Some of our residents got a little over zealous and planted their gardens. Hope they didn’t have many live plants out or they may be frozen now. The irrigation water is back in the pipes but you have to be careful when you turn it on and make sure which direction the wind is blowing or you may be watering your neighbors yards instead of your own! The schools are beginning to wind down for the summer. Tari Cottam has already had her Spring Dance Recital with her little “Makin’ Moves” dance group. She has 21 of the cutest little girls you would ever see anywhere and they all

act like they love to dance! Natalie King and Melisa Chynoweth held graduation exercises for their little preschoolers last Thursday evening at the city pavilion. It was so cute. They showed us the little books they have worked on all winter (they like glitter!), entertained us with cute little songs and served refreshments afterward. The high school athletes are still in the midst of the Spring track meets, but they are not very free with their information. However, they seem to be having a good time and that is the main thing! Derlynne Brooks will get out of school just in time to work with the girls again this summer! She has a new calling in the Escalante Second ward. That of girls camp director. She will be great and she already knows the girls so she will be off to a running start! Congratulations, Derlynne. Hailey Mclemore spoke in the First Ward last week and will be going into the MTC in Provo on May 10th, preparatory to serving a LDS mission in the New Zealand, Auckland mission. Alex Christensen, son of Chris and Jenifer Christensen, will be leaving later this month for his mission to the Campaula, Uganda mission. Sharon Dale and Eve Marsh spent the weekend, first in Spanish Fork for the baptism of son Ryan’s daughter, Josie, on the 4th, and the blessing of the new baby, Adalyn, on the 5th, then back to Cedar City on the 6th for the birth of another grandbaby, belonging to Justin and his wife. (Sorry wives. I don’t have your names!) Audra and Ryan McKnight are the proud parents of a new little baby boy. His name is Blake Ryan. Grandparents are Blaine and Nancy Porter and great grandma is Cecil Dawn Porter. He was born on his great grandpa Que Porter’s birthday April 30th. Jay and Laura Hales are

building a new home in Riverton. They have been taking turns bringing some of their bigger outside articles (their boat for one) to store at the home of Jay’s mom, Sandra Porter. Laura and three of the kids took a turn this past weekend and stayed overnight. The First and Second Wards held their Sacrament meeting together last Sunday. We all had the privilege there of listening to Elder Dallon H. Oakes of the LDS Council of the Twelve Apostles and his wife. It was Fast and Testimony meeting and many others had the opportunity to bear their testimonies also. Elder Oakes and Jerry Roundy became acquainted in California when Jerry was a mission president there and the Oakes’ were invited to stay with Jerry and Sherree while they were here. They and some of our ward and stake leaders made a trip to the Hole in the Rock on Saturday. Congratulations to Karen Munson who just received her Masters degree at the graduation exercises at SUU last Friday. She says it has taken her 7 years but is well worth it. Jo Ette Rex is also home from school but says she hasn’t got a degree yet. She can’t decide what kind of a degree she wants that fits what she is doing with music. But she will find something soon. She is very talented in the writing, composing and piano playing field. My brother, Ron and Linda Mecham, had two grandchildren graduate last week. Rachel Coplin, daughter of Chris and Stephanie Coplin, graduated from SUU in Cedar City. Kris Leavitt, son of Delbert and Machelle Leavitt graduated from The Indiana School of Law. Wade and Shelly Barney went to Cedar City last weekend to attend the baptism of their grandson, Taylor. His father, Lynn (mom is Sara) Barney, baptized him. Wade and Shelly were really proud and

excited for both of them and their family. Myron and Sannette Cottam attended the temple with their daughter, Stephanie, last weekend. Stephanie has a wedding coming up this month and went to get her own endowments. DeLane Griffin and El Ray Nixon have both been in the hospital again. Hopefully they will both be back home by the time you read this. Patsy Cottam was in town on the weekend. Her youngest son, Tracy, his wife, Bonnie and two young children, brought her down from Payson. They visited with Karl Spencer, who is her brother, and his wife Ann. I didn’t get to visit with her but it was good just to see her in church. Lynn and Judy Griffin have been busy lately just trying to keep up with doctor appointments and their family events. They went to Cedar City to watch a granddaughter perform in “The Wizard of Oz.” They took their daughter, Dawn and Jason Spencer, to Salt Lake for a Jazz game, visited with Mark Griffin in the hospital, went to church in the old Hotel Utah, where M. Russell Ballard was a speaker. Then back to Cedar City where a grandson was getting his Eagle Scout award. To Bluff to take some of Lynn’s prints to the new heritage center there. All over Southern Utah trying to keep up with grandkids baseball, basketball and dance recitals (you can’t show partiality you know) then back home to broken irrigation pipes! Some of you may have told me your news on Sunday that I don’t remember. If so please call me and we will get it in next week. My memory is still good. It’s just short! Graveside services were held at the Escalante cemetery last Monday at 1:00 for Artoise Griffin. She was the wife of Thell Griffin (deceased) who is a brother of Yukon Norman.

It is was fun that these two kids with grandparents in Cannonville were in the same program in Logan. Kwin, his wife, Megan, and their son, Kenter, are moving to Rawlins, Wyoming where he has a job there. Kwin said Cecile was looking in the St. George area for work. Congratulations to both of these graduates. When you read this next week know that our granddaughter, Joanna Jensen will be in Tokyo Japan and starting to serve her mission there. We are excited for her and she wanted me to say “Hi” to all of her friends here in the Bryce Valley area. So “Hi” friends. Arthur and I have been traveling everywhere lately watching track meets, tennis tournaments, and seeing plays. One of our favorites was seeing the Honor Class at Canyon View Middle School present a version of “Romeo and Juliet”. Those young people were amazing and they did a beautiful job. It was held on the campus of SUU in the Hunter Hayes building. The fact that our grandson Makay Jensen was one of the players didn’t have anything with our being there of course. He he!! Great job kids and kudos to Mrs. Dodds their teacher. Hope you all have a great week and to all the Mother’s out there Happy Mother’s Day. You all deserve a big hand and a huge thankyou.

FYI PANGUITCH

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com HAPPY Cinco De Mayo. The weather outside is frightful, but not bad enough to snow. The City will be reading the water meters on the 15th and if you use the culinary water on your lawns it will run you $1.00 per thousand gallons if you use over 12,000 gallon. The irrigation water will be coming around the first of June and the schedule will be the same as last year. This Saturday May 11 will be the Running for Debbie, run or walk 5K run. The race will begin at 8:00 am at the PHS track and will go out to Debbie’s house and back. Come join in the fun. The Students and the School Staff, are joining together to help Debbie’s battle with cancer. You can register on line at http/phs.garfk12 or get a registration form at the high school, from Lisa Johnson or call her at 590-6400. Debbie Pollock will be retiring at the end of this semester, after 30 years of service, teaching English. I first heard of Mrs. Pollock when I was on the City Council. We were interviewing 22 men for a maintenance position, when in walked this young man in a suit, of coarse the suit helped get him the job, appearance was part of the grading. Some time latter I asked him why he wore a suit to the interview, he said that Mrs. Pollock told the students, regardless of the job you need to dress in your best clothing. Mrs. Pollock is an excellent English teacher, when I looked at some of the papers my Granddaughter turned in at the U and how well they were written, I would ask her where she developed such great writing skills, and it was always the same, Mrs. Pollock. While I

was on the School Board Debbie was the teachers advocate and she was a real bulldog, she didn’t back down to any of the board members who got out of line. Had the Board been a little more receptive to her wisdom, the District wouldn’t be in so much trouble. Six years ago, Debbie, along with John Gillett, Ryan Houston and the Science teacher at that time, spent the summer learning how to teach the Advanced Placement classes. These classes counted for both college and high school credits. These classes prepared the students for college and since Panguitch was the only 1A School teaching these classes they became the highest rated 1A school in the State, two years in a row. Debbie has been fighting stage 4 breast cancer for over 15 years and rarely ever took a day off. She will start treatment again as soon as school is over. Teachers like Mrs. Pollock can never be replaced, the students love her and she was the “outstanding teacher” many, many years, elected by the students. Sunday is Mothers Day, so be kind to your Mother or the Mother of your children. Every day should be Mother’s day, but we need a day in May to remind us, of where we came from. Monday the 13th is Community Family Night at Panguitch High School. The events start at 5:30 with a free hamburger and hot dog dinner. At 6:00 the elementary kids will sing and at 6:15 there will kids games and activities ages (3-10). The first speaker for the Adults and Teenagers will be Bobbi Anderson who will discuss underage drinking that took the life of her son. A

second speaker will be Craig Povey, Prevention Admin. State of Utah will talk about Substance Abuse and Mental Health and what parents can do to help protect their children from drinking alcohol and other dangerous drugs. The dinner will be held at the Middle School and be cooked by the Panguitch Lions Club. May 14th Tuesday will be the blood drive and it will be at the Stake Center from 1:30 to 7:00. Walk ins are always welcome, however if you would like a time, please call Jennifer Bremner at (676-8211). Come on down and lose a lb of weight, most of the donors are women, so come on down and man up it doesn’t hurt that much. The Panguitch Lions completed their semi annual highway cleanup last Wednesday and with the help of Tammy Bennett’s FCCLA club it was completed in record time. You would think that cleaning up this area twice a year that there would not be that much trash, however the Lions usually fill about 20 - 50 gallon bags. When we went to Seattle last August, upon entering Washington there were signs stating that if you litter and get caught the fine is $5,600 and you guessed it, there was not a spot of trash anywhere. Jacee Gillett the daughter of John and Jennifer Gillett, received her Mission call and she will be going to the Anaheim (English speaking) Mission. When we lived in Mission Viejo, we were in the Anaheim Mission District. We called it the Disneyland Mission. The LDS Church has dropped the age for the women serving mission to 19 from 21. We now

have 5 young women from our area serving missions. The U.S. News and World Report has selected Panguitch High School as one of the top 10 Schools in the state. Panguitch finished 6th and the highest ranking in Southern Utah. Followed by Desert Hills, Canyon View and Cedar high. The U.S. News reviewed 151 schools in Utah and 21,035 high schools across the nation. The top ten lists were based on criteria that included: student’s college and career readiness, number of students enrolled in AP classes and test scores in core subjects such as Math and English. Again Panguitch was the only 1A School to make the list. Since the cut down on fat food craze began some 30 years ago, the obesity rate in America has more than doubled. What many people don’t know is that fat free products often contain added sugar, flour and calories. So choose low-fat over no-fat when possible. Mona Marshall has been moved down to a hospital in St. George till her baby comes. She would like to thank all of those that brought meals to her family. If you would like to help out the Marshall’s, I believe that an account has been set up at Zions Bank in her name. Donation jars have been placed around town to help with Randy Hall’s funeral expenses. Randy is the daughter of Regina Barney who cooks at the Senior Citizens Center. Your donations would really be appreciated. Hope all’s well with you and your family. Mack O.

Choices: You Create Your By Cynthia Kimball Life Track

Choices are important. Really important. As you make them, you’re creating your own running track so to speak. Thus, would you want someone to run on that same track? Choices impact you and they can impact others (one’s you know and one’s you don’t). Think, “Each day when I awake I know I have one more day to make a difference in someone’s life,” (Mann, values.com, 2013). Someone once said to me, “You don’t realize your influence.” Think about that statement. It could go either way. Work, though, to make your choices be positive so that you’re impacting people for good to where someone will actually say to you, “You don’t realize your influence.” Choices can make you better, but they might also lead you astray. They can bring blessings, but sometimes they bring consequences (even long-lasting and painful ones). Yet, John Maxell said, “Life is 10% of what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it,” (Values.com, 2013). And Thomas S. Monson said, “I can’t stress too strongly that decisions determine destiny. You can’t make eternal decisions without eternal consequences,” (LDS. org, 2013).

Choices can make you feel good and sometimes, for some, lousy. However, “Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way,” said Deepak Chopra, “ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future,” (Values. com, 2013). This is true for one friend of mine who was sexually abused by her father when she was a child. She has since forgiven him choosing to be “a pioneer of the future” instead of “a prisoner of the past.” When you make choices, make sure your motives are pure, good and right. Mark Twain, though, said it best, “Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest,” (Values. com, 2013). With every decision, you’re adding to your life track and teaching people (even if you’re the only one in the room). “May I provide a

simple formula by which you can measure the choices which confront you” Monson offered. “It’s easy to remember, sometimes difficult to apply: You can’t be right by doing wrong; you can’t be wrong by doing right. Your personal conscience always warns you as a friend before it punishes you as a judge,” (LDS.org, 2013). So today, decide how you’re going to run on your track of life. And as you do, use Monson’s simple formula also knowing that, “Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around,” (Crowe, Values.com, 2013).

Labor Pains

One of my co-workers got When I was a mother’s helper, the mom of the family I worked for sat with her three oldest children and watched a PBS special showing the birth of a baby. The mom thought it would be a good starting point for answering questions about the facts of life. As her five-year-old studied the baby coming out of the birth canal, he asked, “Mom, does that hurt?” “Oh, yes, it does,” she said, remembering her difficult deliveries. “Wow,” he continued in awe, “does it hurt the mother too?”

I heard recently about a stay-at-home Mom. One evening she went to a PTA meeting and her husband and her oldest daughter got together and decided they would clean up the kitchen for her. They put away all the food, wiped all the counters, washed all the pots and put them away, put the dishes in the dishwasher and ran it. They swept and mopped the floors and then sat down, awaiting her arrival. Two hours later she returned from the meeting, took off her coat, hung it up, walked through the kitchen into the den, grabbed the remote control, and began watching television. They followed her over to her chair and stood by her side. Finally she felt them looking over her shoulder and looked up at them and said, “What?” Her husband said, “The kitchen.” “The kitchen. What?” “The kitchen. We cleaned up the kitchen. Didn’t you notice? It’s sparkling clean. We cleaned it for you.” The woman replied, “Yes, I noticed. Thankless job, isn’t it?”

Spring is getting closer. It’s tryin’ every day, But every day, when the sun goes down, old winter tries to stay. There’s been a time or two some days that a t-shirt felt all right, But, dang it, I’ve had three quilts on most every doggone night. Some of the wild creatures are thinking of getting mated, But I guess the mood must fade at dusk when they get refrigerated. There’s lots of talk about climate change. I’d go for some of that. I’d love to store my winter boots, and stash my winter hat. Yup, spring is edging closer. I notice it some each day, But then at night the wind comes up and blows poor spring away.

Wills, Trusts, and More Legal Issues Related to Funeral Planning

When you die, who will decide what happens to your body? Who will decide your burial location and the funeral arrangements? If a daughter from an earlier marriage wants her father buried near her mother in Los Angeles but the daughter’s stepmother wants her husband buried in Southern Utah or Nevada, whose desire will prevail? If a person wants to be cremated but never told those close to her, will she be cremated? Answers to the above questions depend on you. You must make the decisions in writing regarding your funeral and burial before you die. Part of your estate planning should entail addressing these issues. State law provides that the person named in your will (an “executor,” or now more commonly referred to as “personal representative”) shall have authority prior to appointment by the court to carry out written instructions of the decedent relating to his body, funeral, and burial arrangements. This means two things. First, you should have a will naming someone as executor or personal representative. Second, you should provide written instructions to your personal representative regarding your burial and funeral arrangements. Both of these steps are vitally important. If you have not left a will naming an executor or personal representative and writ-

by Jeffery J. McKenna ten directions (whether in your will or some other document), the law is unclear as to who has authority to make those decisions. This uncertainty can and has lead to terrible disagreements between family members which is something everyone probably wants to avoid. On occasion, family members have discussed with me and others in our office their desire to change, or their fear that another family member will want to change, the location of burial of a loved one. Significantly, the courts have stated that it is a sound and

well-established policy of law that a person, once buried, should not be exhumed except for the most compelling of reasons. Because burial decisions have to be made very quickly after death and are almost impossible to change once made, you should set forth your desires regarding your funeral and burial when doing your estate planning. Meeting with a funeral planner at the mortuary of your choice and having your desires set forth in a prearranged plan can be very helpful to all involved. Jeffery J. McKenna is a local attorney serving clients in Utah, Arizona and Nevada. He is a shareholder at the law firm of Barney, McKenna, Olmstead and Pack with offices in St. George and Mesquite.

Suspicious Delivery

There was an unexpected knock on my door, and like I always do I first opened the peephole and asked, “Who’s there?” “Parcel Post, ma’am. I have a package that needs a signature.” “Where’s the package?” I asked suspiciously. The deliveryman held it up. “Could I see some ID?” I said, still not convinced. “Lady,” he replied wearily, “if I wanted to break into your house, I’d probably just use these.” And he pulled out the keys I had left in the door.

Missing Work

“Armstrong,” the boss said, “I happen to know that the reason you didn’t come to work yesterday was that you were out playing golf.” “That’s a rotten lie!” Armstrong protested. “And I have the fish to prove it!”

Decline in SIDS Deaths Plateaus; Safe Sleep Habits Urged SALT LAKE CITY - After dropping for years, the rate of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) in the United States has stayed somewhat level for some time. So, experts are again reminding parents and child care providers about the importance of safe sleep habits. Child-care educator Cory Woosley said babies always should sleep on a firm mattress with a fitted sheet - and on their back. “If you think about their head and not being able to pick it up, and their face being into the mattress - particularly if

you don’t have a firm mattress and the baby’s face is down in there and they can’t lift their neck,” she said. “That would probably be our number one concern: suffocation.” Woosley also advised that everything be out of the crib except the baby - no pillows, blankets, toys or crib bumpers. However, she said, it is acceptable for the baby to use a pacifier. “Pacifiers are okay. A lot of providers, a lot of parents think the baby could suffocate with a pacifier. A pacifier actually keeps the baby’s little mouth moving and can be a

preventative toward SIDS,” Woosley explained. Parents should also schedule regular checks on sleeping babies, she said, and babies should nap in cribs - not in a car-seat, on a couch or in an adult bed. Since 1990, the SIDS rate in the U.S. has declined by more than 50 percent, but it is still the leading cause of death for babies one year and younger, with about 2,500 SIDS victims each year. More information is available at www.sidscenter.org. —Chris Thomas, Utah News Connection

Practical Money Matters

Trim Your Wedding Costs by Jason Alderman

Weddings have always been big business, but I was shocked to see how expensive they’ve become in the 17 years since my wife and I got married. According to the annual Real Weddings Study, the average wedding in the U.S. now costs $28,427, and that doesn’t even count the honeymoon. Wait, it gets worse. Among the more than 17,500 surveyed brides who got married in 2012, the average amount paid for a wedding dress was $1,211. On average they also spent $204 per wedding guest and dropped $12,905 for the reception venue. There are many ways to rein in wedding-related costs while still having a memorable event. Here are a few suggestions: Create a budget. Unless you’re a professional wedding planner, you’ll probably be floored by how many expenses weddings can amass, including: wedding and engagement rings, invitations, postage, marriage license, clergy and location fees, flowers, bridal gown and groom’s tuxedo, rehearsal dinner and reception, photography, catering, DJ or band, limousine, parking attendants, tips, gifts for wedding participants and honeymoon expenses. Shop around. Bridal expos are a good way to meet a lot of vendors and gather ideas. Just don’t get caught up in the

excitement and commit to anything before you’ve done follow-up research. Some tips: • Bring along someone from the wedding party as well as a trustworthy friend who isn’t emotionally and financially connected to the wedding. • You may feel pressured by vendors to sign contracts or put down deposits, but it’s probably wiser to take their contact information and research them first. • Create a separate email account for wedding vendor communications. Once you sign up for one offer or contest, believe me, your inbox will be swamped. After you’ve settled on vendors, get signed contracts that specify dates, products, prices, deposit and payment terms, cancellation policies, liability insurance and whether tax and gratuities are included. Here are a few suggestions for trimming costs: • Date flexibility. You’ll get more bang for your buck offseason – a June wedding might cost 20 to 30 percent more than one in April or October. • Have your florist use inseason flowers. • Daytime weddings are often cheaper than evening events. • Instead of a hotel, consider less-costly alternative reception venues like community centers, museums,

city park clubhouses or other public facilities looking to earn extra income. Ask whether they have their own tables, chairs, sound and lighting systems; if not, add equipment rental costs into the equation. • A buffet dinner reception could save you $15 or more per guest compared to a plated dinner, because you’re not paying for table service. Save even more by hosting an afternoon reception and serving lunch or hors d’oeuvres. • If you’re hosting a large reception, have a smaller display cake for the cutting ceremony, with a sheet cake stored in the kitchen. • Serve wine, beer and one signature cocktail, instead of offering a full bar. • Consider renting or buying a second-hand wedding dress from a consignment shop, or an online specialty site. The same goes for grooms wear. • Hiring a disc jockey instead of a live band will save hundreds of dollars; plus you get a broader selection of music and a built-in emcee to move things along. One last budgeting tip: Limit the number of guests to ensure you can have a meaningful interaction with each. Remember, spending just one minute apiece with 300 guests would take five hours.
