BACKCOUNTRY HORSEMEN UTAH FIRST GROUP RIDE
The new Canyon Country Chapter of the Back Country Horsemen of Utah held our first group ride on the evening of Saturday, May 5. With 16 mounted riders we left from the Escalante Fairgrounds at 6:15 p.m. and rode up onto “little desert” where we had a weinerroast and watched the full moon come up. Riders left at various times, but the last came riding back into town under a very bright moon, at 1 a.m. Everyone had a great time and all look forward to our next excursion. Back Country Horsemen of Utah is a chapter of Back Country Horsemen of America, primarily a service organization dedicated
to the common sense use and enjoyment of horses in America’s back country and wilderness areas. They work to insure that public lands remain open to recreational stock use by assisting various government and private agencies in maintenance and management of resources and by educating the public and encouraging wise use of the back country. The Canyon Country Chapter is proud to be a part of this nation-wide organization. We are planning several volunteer activities this Spring and Summer assisting the BLM, Park and Forest Services doing trail clearing, maintenance and packing out trash from vari-

The 800-foot damaged section of the road is located mid-way between Hwy 89 and Cannonville and according to Richard Madril, Resources Chief for GSENM, was caused when water diverted from an adjacent riparian area onto the road bed. ELLETTS “Essentially, you have a healthy riparian area filled with Cottonwoods and willows that DISTRIBUTING captured and slowed the runoff, collecting silt and eventually filling in until the riparian area actually became higher than the road…and water flows from a high point to a lower point – the road,” said Madril. Kane County officials and local GSENM managers and staff, including engineers from BLM’s Richfield and Salt Lake State Offices, met several times both on site and in Kanab to devise a repair plan that would provide an immediate fix for the road as well as long term measures to help prevent the problem from happening in the future. The initial repair work to get the road open and safe for travel is expected to take oneto-two weeks and involves taking material from the edge of the roadway for several miles that has built up over time from grading operations, the scree that eroded from the rock MAY 9-14TH cliffs alongside the road, and using that material to raise the roadbed higher than the riparian area. PRIZES & MORE “The longer term preventative measures will require additional funding. We, Kane County and the BLM, are looking to partner with other state and federal agencies to acSTOP BY quire the necessary funds,” said GSENM manager Rene Berkhoudt.

Southern System includes: Garfield County, Kane County, and Northern Arizona Area Loa, Utah, – Garkane Energy is working with WAPA (The Western Area Power Administration) on two pre-arranged power outages. The first pre-arranged outage tookplace on Sunday, April 15th. The 2nd pre-arranged outage is scheduled to occur on Sunday May 20th and will affect Garkane’s Southern System (the Southern System includes all of Kane County, most of Garfield County, and our Northern Arizona consumer/members – except as specified below). The May 20th outage will be from 12:00 a.m. Saturday night (Midnight) until approximately 6:00 a.m Sunday Morning. This outage is necessary for the Western Area Power Administration (WAPA), at Glen Canyon to do the necessary work to install abackup transformer to feed Garkane’s transmission line out of the dam. After the work has been completed, in association with these two outages, Garkane will have much better reliability out of Glen Canyon in case of a transformer malfunction or failure. This installation will provide Garkane a redundant transformer for backup at Glen Canyon. All of Kane and Garfield counties (except Antimony and Panguitch), and NorthernArizona, (except Colorado City and Hildale) will be affected. We urge all law enforcement, hospitals, telephone entities, and Churches to be aware, as this outage will run from midnight, Saturday Night (12:00 a.m.) to approximately 6:00 a.m Sunday Morning (6 hours total) May 20th. During this outage Garkane crews will be outworking on various projects throughout the system, that need to be accomplished, which can only be done when the power is out. We thank all of our consumer/members for their patience and understanding during these two critical outages. Garkane reminds its members to be prepared for power outages by choosing an easily accessible closet or cupboard for an emergency supply of flashlights, batteries, and other needed items.

WHAT COUNTS “FOLLOW UP” A few weeks ago I talked about the “What Counts” meeting that was held in Tropic with community representatives from Panguitch, Hatch, Bryce City, Antimony, Tropic, Cannonville, Henrieville, Escalante, Boulder and Salt Gulch. The purpose of the meeting was to listen to the communities suggestions on the educational process in the District. The first question the public addressed was, “What are the promises we must keep regarding education to parents and the community?” The responses were ranked by public and the prioritized list is as follows: • To involve parents and the community in the educational process. • To have high expectations of all students based on individual interests and abilities. • To provide quality teachers. • To provide students with strong academics in the core/basic areas. • To provide opportunities for students to become critical thinkers. • To provide students with choices and options beyond the core. • To prepare students for college and careers. • To provide a safe and enriching learning environment The second question addressed was, “What are the characteristics of a qual-
ity school?” The public responses are as follows: • Parent/Community partnership • Accommodating individual student needs and interests • Quality teachers • Academic Excellence – basic/core • Independent and critical thinking skills • Learning options and opportunities beyond the core • College and career readiness Now that the Garfield County School Board has this valuable information, what is next? The School Board will take this information to set an educational vision for the District which can align future decisions to correlate with the commu-
nity expectations. I also wanted to pass along some important dates to remember on upcoming events. The following dates and locations will hold public meetings to discuss the “ten period” block schedule in the High Schools: May 14th at 5:00PM at Bryce Valley High School, May 15th at 5:00PM at Panguitch High School, May 16th at 6:00PM at Escalante High School. High School Graduation dates will be as follows: Escalante High School May 23rd at 8:00 pm, Panguitch High School May 24th at 7:00PM, and Bryce Valley High School May 25th at 8:00PM.

tHe lAuGhiNg pOiNt!!
Every1Counts Everyday Athlete By Cynthia Kimball Foundation: Athleticism, Attitude, Spirit, Faith I grew up in a totally athletic family. My dad was a race car driver. My mom? A baton twirler. My parents were softball coaches to my four sisters and me. Between the five of us, we swam, sailed, did gymnastics, skied, ran in 5 & 10K races, and played four sports in high school. One earned a 4-year sports scholarship to a university. Two were state all-stars. One a Junior Olympian. My parents laid a strong and solid foundation for their girls not only in physical activity where we were every day athletes, but in attitude, spirit and of course faith, including how to persevere, no matter what, which especially aided not only me, but my four sisters, on a medical odyssey and a freakish statistical reality --1 in 1,000-- that not one of us could have predicted. Probably Not Cancer May 1994. Okinawa, Japan. Here I was teaching English. Writing for a military newspaper. Newly married. Exercising and in the best shape of my life. Eating Sushi. Thirty-one years old. And, breast cancer? I had three doctors tell me the pea sized lump in my left breast was, “Probably not cancer.” I called my parents in the states. I couldn’t talk. I hyperventilated. Then doctors found more cancer. But, by this time, I thought, “I can win this!” One surgeon said he didn’t want to leave one cell in me. “They swim,” he said. I wondered, backstroke, sidestroke, doggy-paddle? Doctors decided to medivac me to the states to receive treatment. At each base we landed, I worked out in military gyms. My final destination was Pope Air Force Base in Fayetteville, North Carolina, near my parents and my new temporary home, and the hospital I would be treated at. “Breast” Friend & Olympics Walking through my parents front door that first day home was quite adventuresome. I remember being tackled by their Chocolate Labrador Retriever named, yes; you guessed it, “Chocolate”. I didn’t know at the time, but Chocolate would become one of my “breast” friends. She would also become my coach because I was in the Olympics. No, no not “The” Olympics. Cancer Olympics. Everyone knows someone who’s competed in them. Now it was my, Cynthia Kimball’s, opportunity. “You can do this!” Chocolate’s eyes seemed to say as she’d licked me profusely. It was like she had been waiting for me. She had a plan. A training plan, that is. Already I was feeling better. Training Camp “I can do this!” was a
phrase I told Chocolate daily. Chocolate was to me what a therapist is to a patient. Nothing can measure up to the bond between dog and man. And, in my case, woman. Little did I know that a dog, my “breast” friend, through exercise and unconditional love, was to play a significant role in my recovery and survival, emotionally and physically. Still healing from my surgeries, we took up brisk walking until I could work back up to my daily two to five miles of running and nautilus machine circuit training. We also did laps in the pool. And biked around the coastal waterways. Chocolate was game. Her enthusiasm was not only contagious, but amazingly healing. We were every day athletes training for Cancer Olympics. Every day, that is, when I wasn’t getting chemotherapy or radiation or dealing with its aftermath. We were a team and on a mission. We also talked (yes, dogs do talk), hugged, strategized, recited affirmations, laughed, played, napped, visualized, took water breaks, and prayed. Training with Chocolate brought me peace. She made me smile She didn’t care if I was bald. And, she still loved me if I occasionally smelt like puke. Linda Blair said, “People always joke that “dog” spells “god” backwards. They should consider that it might be the higher power coming down to see just how well they do, what kind of people they are...” I know that’s why Chocolate was sent to me. 4 More “Breast” Friends Since my diagnosis, two of my sisters were also diagnosed with breast cancer in their 30s. And, all five of us tested positive for one of the breast and ovarian cancer genes, BRCA1. We got this gene from dad, but we don’t blame him. We thank him. After all, we each got to go to Cancer Olympics. And, actually, we’re still in them since we are high risk and under six month surveillance.
To date, we’ve had four double mastectomy reconstructive surgeries, four total hysterectomies, 1 lumpectomy, 3 chemotherapy regimes, 1 radiation regime, and 1 Tamoxifen regime. We are “breast” friends. We pray together. We heal together. We laugh together. We are every day athletes. And yes, Chocolate helped take each one of my sisters to Cancer Olympics, too. Cancer: A Good Thing The best part about breast cancer? It can make you a better person. I am who I am today because of it. It gets better. I did win a gold medal. And, I’m still winning them! Windows and doors have opened for me in the Cancer Olympian world to become a national speaker and writer, a co-founder of a family cancer foundation, positions on cancer committees, participating in cancer relays, appearing in ‘People’ magazine and on CNN, to name a few of those windows and doors. All because of a cancer diagnosis. Cancer is opportunity. Today, I walk, hike, ride horses, swim, bike, and lift weights. I’m an everyday athlete. Just like my parents taught me to be. Cancer taught me that with a foundation of physical activity, positive attitude, spirit, and faith, along with sibling and dog “breast” friends; you can do, be and overcome anything. Dr. Wayne Dyer says, “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” That’s what I did with cancer. And Chocolate? According to Martin Luther, “Be comforted, little dog, thou too in the Resurrection shall have a tail of gold.” Cynthia Kimball is a professional speaker and trainer through her company Every1Counts, LLC, and a doctoral student in Workforce Education Leadership. She also writes frequently through Deseret Connect. E-mail: kimball@every1counts.net
AUDIO BOOK
After an enthusiastic recommendation from my wife, I began listening to the audio-book version of a novel. “I love it, but his writing style is so disjointed,” I complained. “He refers to characters I don’t know and introduces them a half hour later.” My wife was as confused as I was, but I soldiered on, disoriented by the jumpy story line. It wasn’t until the end of the book that my dilemma was explained: I had my iPod set on “Shuffle.”
EXPENSIVE OPERATION
A woman was having a medical problem - her husband’s snoring. So she called the doctor one morning and asked him if there was anything he could do to relieve her “suffering.” “Well, there is one operation I can perform that will cure your husband, but it is really rather expensive. It will cost $1000 down and payments of $450 for 24 months, plus payments for extras.” “My goodness!” the woman exclaimed, “it sounds like leasing a new sports car!” “Hmmm,” the doctor murmured, “too obvious, huh?”
HELPFUL MECHANIC
Taking my car to the mechanic, I was fearful that any needed repair might be too expensive. I was relieved when he told me all I needed was blinker fluid.
EGGPLANTS
A grocer put up a sign that read “Eggplants, 25 cents each -- three for a dollar.” All day long, customers came in exclaiming: “Don’t be ridiculous! I should get four for a dollar!” Meekly the grocer capitulated and packaged four eggplants. The tailor next door had been watching these antics and finally asked the grocer, “Aren’t you going to fix the mistake on your sign?”
LUGGAGE CHECK IN
Busily checking in luggage for the large airline where I work, I have to ask every traveler, “Is this your suitcase?” At the peak of the afternoon rush one day, a man hesitated after my inquiry and then replied, “No, it’s my brother-in-law’s ... but he said I could use it.”

BRYCE VALLEY AREA NEWS by Vicki D. Syrett 679-8687 or vickidiane36@hotmail.com Tropic Town Council held a contest for kids to design an entrance sign for the town. It was the “Tropic Town Entrance Sign Contest” They had good participation and the winners were: 1st Place $100.00 Katie Stewart, daughter of Sean and Kim Stewart. 2nd place went to Maren Stewart for $75.00 and she is the daughter of Chance and Jessica Stewart and 3rd place went to Hallie Le Fevre for $50.00, who is the daughter of Barbie Le Fevre and Mark Le Fevre.. They all did a wonderful job and we hope to use them in making a sign for the entrances to Tropic at each end of town. The contest was brought together in hopes of spurring some interest in the community, getting the children involved, and to get ideas for signs to be made. The art work was judged by a committee of volunteers. The paving of the parking area and the laying of the sidewalks at the Heritage Center will begin very soon. The contract was awarded to the Larry Rose Construction Company. The sidewalks will run down the north side of the building. This will make it easier to keep the center clean in muddy weather and easier for people to park their cars. Way to go town council. We have a few folks in the hospital at this time and we want to send our love and prayers to them for a quick recovery. Agnes Littlefield is in the Garfield Memorial Care Center and we wish her well.

Mrs. Moore’s 4th grade elementary class went on a field trip to Fremont Indian State Park, near Richfield. When they got to the museum they wrote about Indian things in their field journals they learned about, like the open pit house, beads they made, and pottery. After the museum they went into a pit house, and each got a turn looking into the grainary, where they used to store grain. Then they went on a short hike and saw rock paintings,called pictographs, and carvings in the rocks called petroglyphs. Next they went and got their packs and went on a 1/2 mile hike to hundreds hands cave. There were hand prints everywhere! On the way home they stopped by cove fort and got to see all the pioneer things and the original fort. They got to tour through all the rooms and bunk houses and see the original blacksmith tools.

Being gone all week I would say the biggest news, was the auction at the Bob Schermerhorn Residents. This event started at 10:00 in the morning and when I went to the post office at 7:00 am it was still going strong. I understand that he had a wonderful gun collection and it made for a lot of happy gun collectors. It’s surprising what one can collect over 85 years and the auctioneer spent 3 days bringing it out of the house to put it up for bid. Bob’s Daughter is Tina Minor who lives north of town. We had a whirl wind week, going down to California for fours day and then back up to SLC for our granddaughter Teah’s graduation from the U. We went to Disney Land one day and it’s still a lot of fun, but very tiring. I keep thinking that they will price them self out of business, its $105 for (ten and older) a hopper fare for both parks: California Adventure and Disney Land. There are a lot of new adventures coming to the parks and they are supposed to be up and running by summer time. The night time parade was the best I have seen, it’s full of life with all the dancers and floats. Disney Land has been open for 55 years now and we have been there many times and Pat really loves it and we usually take it in when we are down there. I talk to a woman cashier at Wall

ESCALANTE ELEMENTARY PIONEER TREK
Escalante Elementary Fourth and Fifth Graders crossed the Mississippi, traversed the Rocky Mountains, and endured heat and thirst as they pulled their handcarts to “Roundy Flat”. Whenever the sand got too deep or the hill too steep, students worked together as they pushed and pulled to reach their destination. After a safe arrival of all students, they were served Dutch oven stew and cornbread. Although past Pioneer Treks have experienced ankle-deep mud, snow, and even attacks by Indians, this group arrived safely and some even had the energy after lunch to play games and run threelegged races.
Mart, who told me, with her family of nine she wrote a check for a thousand dollars to get them into the Park. The only thing that I miss in California is the coast, just something about it, maybe all the good times I had body surfing or playing volleyball in the sand, in my other life. We came home on Wednesday and were off on Thursday morning for Teah’s graduation. The U has 14 separate departments that have their own Convocation where they present the Graduates and Teah’s was on Thursday evening. Friday morning was the whole Commencement program. Some stats: Total number of Graduates; 7,659, Bachelors Degrees 5,513, Master’s 1,976, Doctorates 600, Jurist Doctors 131, Doctors of Medicine 131, Doctors of Pharmacy 46. Honors Students Graduating 416, of which Teah was one of the 416. What a grand experience it was for our family to be at this event. Art Cooper went up to BYU for his son’s Stevens, wife Christi receive her Diploma. Art said the Y had 5,992 graduates. Jennifer Perkins the daughter of Danny and Michelle Perkins received her Master Degree, in Occupational Therapy. She got her degree from the College of Saint Mary’s in Nebraska. Jennifer parlayed her sweet 3 point shot into a Master Degree, on basketball scholarships. Jennifer has always been a hard worker, starting out at her grandfather Foster’s Restaurant when she was really young and never stopped throughout her college career. At Teah’s party a number of her friends were there from through out Garfield Co. Skye Marshall (Steve and Marilyn Marshall son) said he is in his second year of his Master degree in Exercise and Sport Science and is getting married this next July.

If you have lived in Wayne County very long you know better than to store away “all” of your winter clothing and quilts just yet, even though the lilacs are blooming for the first time in Torrey in a long time and the smell of spring and barking backyard dogs are drifting through your open windows at night. Nighttime lows hovered just above the freezing point while the “Super Moon” made its way across the night sky over the weekend. The shivering search for one of grand ma’s homemade quilts stored in the closet surely took place Saturday night in more homes than not. Many community improvement projects continue to take place in Torrey. To the seasoned observer driving down Torrey Town’s Main-Street one should notice many newly planted and caged young trees where recently removed trees once stood. This continued community effort is all part of a dedicated Torrey Town tree committees attempt to maintain the beauty of Torrey town, their constant tree efforts need to be applauded, hug a tree committee member next time you see one. Other community events include the Wayne County Building Department visit to Torrey Town that have completed inspections for a new block wall that is being constructed as a wind block at the park for a new barbeque area, the new rock wall entrance at the Torrey Cemetery was also inspected by the Wayne County building inspector Eric Torgerson. For those that continue to think that it is funny and legal to continue racing four wheelers through the back streets of Torrey town, beware. Can you say “ATV speed restrictions and excess speeds of 15 mph in town limits are a class C misdemeanor”, it is a Torrey town ordinance (2002-10/10/02) and it will be enforced, slow down, or suffer the consequences. Much to delight of the Torrey Town Maintenance Department and maybe in light of the increased recycle price of aluminum cans being at a all time high, Keystone Light beer can littering is on the decline in and around Torrey Town. The cost of littering takes away from important town services like the ability to monitor, maintain and provide safe drinking water on a monthly basis. Torrey Town prefers spending our monies and efforts on improving our community and providing safe drinking water. Picking up other
folk’s trash cost us all. At a Cinco de Mayo party that had a rather Cajun fling to it was held by some “Parkies” at Capitol Reef National Park on Saturday night May 5th. Dave Worthington alias “Poncho tequila” mixed up some mean apricot margaritas that really got the party started. Dava and Carl dropped in with some delicious avocado dip that finished off all the tortilla chips in a hurry. Inside there was a table filled with so many Mexican dishes that any outsider would have thought there was a Mexican wedding fixing to happen. And then there was Sandy’s “Green Chili Verde”, once the word got out about how good it was it disappeared faster than a speeding bullet and was more powerful than a locomotive. The chicken enchiladas, posole and margarita muffins were also big hit. As part of the celebration Mark and Mary Stokestad were honored for their volunteer efforts and professional assistance at the park. As a side note Scott Brown, Chief Ranger and acting Superintendent of Capitol Reef National Park, was just honored as the Intermountain Region’s Ranger of the Year by the NPS. At the Cinco de Mayo party Mark Stokestad on electric guitar and Scott Brown on the bongo drums pounded out some nice tunes well into the night of the Super Moon. The Wayne County Bike / Pedestrian Path committee in concert with Wayne County, Psomas / Lochner, the National Park Service as well as the Bureau of Land Management, Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), the U.S. Forest Service and local community representatives held a Public open house at the Wayne County Community Center on the 3rd of May. The event was held to provide an open forum to gather ideas and direction for the proposed bicycle and pedestrian pathway along highways 12 and 24. The open house was well attended and considered to be a success. A special thanks needs to go out to the present Wayne County Commissioners, Tom Jefferies, De Rae Filmore and Rob Williams as well as our Wayne County Economic Director Michelle Coleman and Wayne County GIS professional Brandon Jensen for their hard work on this important Wayne County community wide project. On the political side of things the Wayne County
Commissioner candidates are making the rounds at about every event I have been to lately. As concerned county citizens we all need to take advantage of these unique opportunities to learn about their county vision and let the candidates know what our concerns are. In a recent conversation with one of the commissioner candidates I was very much impressed with his idea that although the towns and un-incorporated areas of Wayne County are independent “we need to work harder to share resources, consolidate our ideas and in general work as one voice”. I do not count myself as a Republican or Democrat but I liked the sounds of that comment, and if he will promise and make a concerted effort to make that sort of thing happen here in Wayne County he has my full support. It is always a sad day when someone passes, particularly when it is someone you know. When I received the news of Rusty Hanscom’s passing I was about as far away from Wayne County as I like to get in the springtime. From that far away place I was able to genuinely reflect on how fortunate I am to live in a place that I love. Like Rusty, I know I am not universally accepted in some circles in Wayne County, but also like Rusty I know I have a place and will try to do my best to make life around me the best that I can. Rusty had a drive about him that I respected, especially when it came to music. Being a mild mannered mandolin picker I hardly fit in with the hard driving beat of the “Rock n Roll” music Rusty like to play, but from time to time Rusty would invite me to sit in and with ear plugs stuffed snuggly in my ears I would, and it was just that kind of polite invitation to be part of something that always makes me feel good. Lucy Ann’s passing also affected me deeply. As hard as I have tried I can’t remember the first time I met Lucy or how we became friends nor did it ever seem to matter much. Not that we were the closest of friends but when I saw her around Wayne County she made me feel like we were. I personally feel she, as well the rest of her family (my friends Danny and Helen and their children included) have always had that kind of effect on people. Her smile and gentle caring will always be a source of comfort for me, it is the Wayne County way, and I am always proud when I have the privilege to tell someone I live and I am from Wayne County.
