Award Winner Amberlee Brill Donates Painting to Wayne High School

Amberlee Brill and her painting of the badger that she is donating to Wayne High School. BICKNELL - The Badger is the school mascot for Wayne High and last week young artist Amberlee Brill presented her painting of the Badger to the school where it will hang in the foyer. Painting for Amberlee is a passion and she was this years award winner for the Utah All State High School Art Show in Springville. This June seventeen year old Amberlee, the daughter of Brian and Kalynn Brill of Bicknell, Utah

will travel with her mother to Washington DC to be recognized at the Congressional District Award Ceremony. Her award painting, “Tiger in Snow” will then hang for a year in Washinton, DC Federal Building. Amberlee comes by her talent naturally as both her parents are artists themselves, her mother in art, her father in music. No stranger to receiving awards for her art, Amberlee has been given the

blue ribbon for her work at the Wayne County Fair for each of the past four years. Her favorite subjects are wildlife. Amberlee says “Living in beautiful Wayne County inspires my work.” An excellent student, as well as an artist, Amberlee is looking forward to pursuing her art career, and from her accomplishments it looks very promising. —Sandy Dietlein

Noah and Emma Top Social Security’s List of Most Popular Baby Names for 2014 Emma and Noah are America’s most popular baby names for 2014. Emma returns to the top spot she held in 2008 and hangs out in first place with Noah. There are a few new names in the top 10 this year—James (a former #1 from the ‘40s and ‘50s) on the blue side and Charlotte on the pink side, her first time ever in the top 10. Makes you wonder if the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge got a sneak peak at the list, since naming their baby girl Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte (which lands at #10) Elizabeth (which fell from the top 10 to #14)

Thank You!

With much love I would just like to thank ALL the wonderful people who helped me when I was hurt. The doctors, nurses, Sarah Rees, Teri Leavitt, Matt Barney, the wonderful people who brought me food and spent time with me, and my wonderful family. I love you all very much. I live in a very blessed place. Love to you all. Camiel Brian Pace, Torrey

piling the baby name list in 1997, with names dating to back to 1880. At the time of a child’s birth, parents supply the name to the agency when applying for a child’s Social Security card, thus making Social Security America’s source for the most popular baby names. Each year, the list reveals the effect of pop-culture on naming trends. This year’s winners for biggest jump in popularity in the Top 1,000 are Aranza and Bode. Aranza jumped an amazing 3,625 spots on the girls’ side to number 607, from number 4,232 in 2013. The Latin soap opera “Siempre Mi Amore” was aired on Univision from 2013 to 2015. The show featured a young lead character named Aranza, and obviously had its effect on naming trends last year. Bode raced ahead 645 spots, from number 1,428 in 2013 to number 783 in 2014. This might have had something to do with the Winter Olympics in early 2014, where Bode Miller continued his outstanding alpine skiing career by collecting his sixth Olympic medal. Not only is he the most successful male American alpine skier of all time, he is considered by many to be an American hero. The second fastest riser for boys was Axl, a nod to both rock legend Axl Rose of Guns N’ Roses and Axl Jack Duhamel, son of Stacy Ann “Fergie” Ferguson and Josh Duhamel. For girls, Montserrat, the lead character in a very popular Latin soap opera, was number two, joined by another Monserrat (spelled just one letter differently) at number three.

SANDY, UTAH - Sand County Foundation, in partnership with the Utah Farm Bureau Federation, Western AgCredit and the Utah Cattlemen’s Association, is accepting applications for the 2015 Leopold Conservation Award in Utah. The award, which is comprised of $10,000 and an Aldo Leopold crystal, recognizes Utah farmers and ranchers who demonstrate outstanding stewardship and sustainable management of natural resources. Given in honor of renowned conservationist Aldo Leopold, the Leopold Conservation Award inspires other landowners by example and provides a visible forum where farmers, ranchers and other private landowners are recognized as conservation leaders. In his influential 1949 book, A Sand County Almanac, Leopold called for an ethical relationship between people and the land they own and manage, which he called “an evolutionary possibility and an ecological necessity.” “Leopold Conservation Award recipients represent the tremendous conservation work of ranching and farming families across Utah,” said Brent Haglund, Sand County Foundation President. “We look forward to recognizing more outstanding landowners who are committed to conservation in this great state.” The 2015 award recipient was the Johnson Mountain Ranch of Sevier County. The Leopold Conservation Award will be presented at the Utah Farm Bureau’s Convention in November in Layton. “As the original environmentalists, farmers and ranch-

Will You Help Guide Utah’s Future Archaeology and Historic Preservation Efforts? SALT LAKE CITY - Humans have called the area of modern Utah home for over 10,000 ​years. To help guide Utah’s future archaeology and​ historic ​ preservation efforts, the Utah Division of State History wants to hear from you. “We invite families to go to history.utah.gov to complete a brief six-question survey as part of a statewide preservation plan,” said Brad Westwood, Director of the Utah Division of State History. “We hope Utahns of all ages, from all regions, communities and interest, and all who appreciate the awe-inspiring history around us, will take part in this simple survey." Each state is tasked with carrying out a historic preservation planning process that captures the current state of historic preservation efforts, and to plan together how history should be appreciated and preserved. This information assists in planning and decision-making by all those who have a responsibility for – or use – these resources. Responsibility for completing this plan falls to the Utah SHPO (State Historic

Preservation Office) housed within the Utah Division of State History. As described in the draft State Historic Preservation Plan, the Utah SHPO will engage in four broad goals: · Increase awareness and appreciation for Utah’s diverse heritage · Increase the understanding and use of accepted preservation standards and techniques · Strengthen existing partnerships and build new ones · Advance preservation as economic development Natural and cultural interactions in Utah during the last 10-plus millennia yielded a truly unique and unrivaled landscape. It is this highly diverse, historically rich, and naturally wondrous heritage that shapes the modern Utah experience. “How we, as Utahns today, conserve, memorialize, reflect, analyze, and continue to create this heritage will in part dictate how we are remembered over the next thousand years,” added Dr. Christopher Merritt, a Deputy

From

SHPO (State Historic Preservation Officer) and principal author of the plan. To engage with as many Utahns as possible, over 500 public and private entities have been contacted to help develop the plan’s goals, strategies and objectives towards our collective historic preservation goals. This document’s recommendations will dovetail with Governor Herbert’s statewide economic, energy development, job creation, and selfdetermination planning efforts. Utah’s history, archaeology and cultural resources are big business. Over seven million people tour Utah’s historic sites annually, resulting in $717 million in direct and indirect spending and over 7,300 jobs. “We want to preserve what is best about Utah today for our children and grandchildren while we prepare for the future,” Westwood said.

Garden Planting Tips for Improved Plant Production by Kevin Heaton Utah State University Extension Faculty

Vegetable gardening is challenging in high elevation, short season locations. However, some vegetable crops tolerate cool temperatures, even freezing temperatures. Planting seeds according to their frost tolerance will result in improved production. Remember these dates are guidelines and depending upon the weather patterns, may be adjusted to individual mirco-climates. Vegetable seeds are relatively inexpensive. Thus, an effective gardening strategy is to plant early and if a frost kills the young seedlings, simply replant. The below tables provide historical dates for the last spring frost, the first fall frost and the number of frost free days (consecutive growing days) in a season.

Anglers Can Help Endangered Fish sponse to expanding populations of prized nonnative sport fish, particularly walleye and northern pike,” he says. Unfortunately, with fishing pressure higher than ever, sport fish aren’t the only fish anglers are catching—they’re also catching threatened and endangered fish that live in the river. The rules for the threatened and endangered fish are the exact opposite of the rules for burbot, pike, bass and walleye in the river—you may not keep threatened and endangered fish. They must be released into the river immediately. Breen says four fish listed as endangered on the federal Endangered Species list—bonytail, Colorado pikeminnow, humpback chub and razorback sucker—live in the river. In addition, three species the state of Utah considers threatened—bluehead sucker, flannelmouth sucker and roundtail chub—live in the river too. Before you fish the river, it’s important to know the difference between the nonnative sport fish and the native endangered and threatened fish. Breen says the easiest way to tell the difference is to look in the fish’s mouth and at its fins: native fish do not have any teeth in their mouth or spines on their fins. The nonnative predators, on the other hand, have both. —Utah Division of Wildlife Resources

A NEW NON-DENOMINATIONAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH 66 W. MAIN STREET TORREY

VERNAL - Anglers can help endangered fish in the Green River by obeying some new fishing rules. The rules affect the Green River and its tributaries, from Flaming Gorge Dam to the river’s confluence with the Colorado River. On this stretch, you must keep and immediately kill any burbot, northern pike, smallmouth bass or walleye you catch. You may not release any of these fish back to the river alive. Also, there’s no limit on the number of burbot, northern pike, smallmouth bass or walleye you can keep along this stretch. "Harvest of these four nonnative predators: burbot, northern pike, smallmouth bass, and walleye; is mandatory, not optional,” says Matt Breen, a native aquatic species project leader with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR). “They cannot be released alive,” he says. “You must kill them immediately." The new rules are available on pages 29 and 30 of the 2015 Utah Fishing Guidebook. The free guidebook is available at www.wildlife. utah.gov/guidebooks. Breen says fishing activity on the Green River has increased substantially in the past few years, especially near Jensen. "Much of this increased activity is in re-

Gardeners should plant cool season or “very hardy” varieties of plants six weeks prior to the last spring frost. Very hardy vegetables germinate when soil temperatures range from 35-40°F and survive 20 °F. Examples of very hardy cool season vegetables include: Peas, cabbage, broccoli, onion, lettuce, radish, turnips and spinach. For instance, Panguitch gardeners could start planting very hardy varieties this weekend, because May 10th is six weeks prior to Panguitch’s last spring frost. The next class of plants, “semi-hardy”, cool season, include: beet, carrot, cauliflower, parsley, potatoes and Swiss chard. Semi-hardy cool season seeds germinate at 40-45 °F and survive temperatures of 25 °F. Gardeners should plant these varieties four weeks prior to the last frost which for Panguitch gardeners would be May 21. Warm season tender plants germinate at temperatures of 50-55 °F and survive 28-32 °F. These varieties include: beans, celery, corn, cucumbers and summer squash. These varieties should be planted two weeks prior to the last spring frost which for Panguitch gardeners would be June 7. The last group of plants is the warm season “very tender” group and include: pepper, pumpkin, winter squash, and tomato. The warm season “very tender” group likes very warm soil and germinates when soil temperatures reach 60 °F. Plant these on the average last spring frost which for Panguitch gardeners would be June 21. Most Panguitch gardeners know that this late planting will not yield much production due to the short season. Warm season plants grow without protection in high mountain valleys, but rarely do they flourish and almost always they require protection such as a green house, wall-o-water, row cover or black plastic mulch in order to produce a usable crop. Gardeners can adapt their plantings to their own location and climate. The important thing to remember is that cool season plants can survive freezing temperatures and they grow better during the cool parts of the year. Warm season plants love warm temperatures and do not tolerate freezing temperatures.

Teenage Republicans Win Southern Utah Constitutional Bowl

PHS Sports Sidelines by Mack Oetting Panguitch boys and girls had a great region track meet in Wayne County setting them up for the state meet that will be this Friday and Saturday at BYU. The biggest highlight of the meet was just the number of athletes that Panguitch was able to qualify for the state meet. 20 girls and 15 boys qualified for state. The only team in the state that will have more athletes compete at state is Davis High. The girls won region by more than 100 points and the boys narrowly beat Diamond Ranch and Milford. Panguitch girls took 1st - 5th place in the discus, Makayla Dalton was a double winner in the 800 and 1600, Brenna Mooney won the shot put and Darri Frandsen the discus. Panguitch also won all three relays. For the boys winners were Trenton Stowe 300 hurdles, Trey Barney javelin, and Josiah Sarles 400m.

Bryce Valley Track by Crystal Mortensen

Left to Right: Drew Fischer, Connor Anderson, Ian Anderson, Jantzen Orton, McKoy Dodds. GARFIELD COUNTY Garfield County TARs has sponsored a Constitution Bowl for the last seven years. Teams from the area schools have competed with each other to see who can learn the most about the Constitution of the United States. This year the Panguitch High School Team, who has won Garfield County TARS Constitutional Bowl for four years in a row, went to Dixie State University to compete in the Southern Utah Constitution Bowl sponsored by Washington County TARs. Panguitch High School was victorious, bringing home the

trophy and cash scholarships of $75.00 for each member of the team. Claiming the honors were Jantzen Orton, Drew Fischer, McKoy Dodds, Connor and Ian Anderson. Jantzen Orton was also recognized as the MCP(Most Constitutional Player). He received $50.00 for stating the essence of the Bill of Rights, or in other words paraphrasing the first ten amendments. He was also offered a scholarship to attend Dixie State University to study Constitutional Law. Each year teams of five individuals study predetermined questions and compete

against other teams to see who can answer questions about the fastest and most accurate. They answer individual questions as well as compete to see who can buzz in the fastest to answer Toss Up Questions. If correct they are then given Bonus Questions that are extremely difficult. This team has distinguished themselves in the past and did so again this week, scoring five times the number of points of their nearest competitor. The boys were grateful to all of those who have helped them to achieve this goal. —Elaine Baldwin

Ten Youth Attend 4-H Mock Legislature WAYNE COUNTY - Ten youth from Wayne County with chaperones, David Chappell, Ashley Peterson, Mary Sorenson, and GaeLynn Peterson, loaded into vehicles to head for Salt Lake City to visit and donate clothing to the homeless shelter prior to participating in 4-H Mock Legislature. This is an amazing opportunity for 4-H youth across the state to be able to sit in the seats of the House of Representatives and actually discuss and vote on bills that were presented in this year’s legislative session. Landon Chappell and Drew Faddis were each invited to introduce a bill to committee where the bills were introduced, discussed, voted on, and approved for the House floor. Ruger Torgerson commented “It was a really good experience and I’m excited to go again next year and hope others will get to come with us. It was a very humbling experience to see the homless shelter”. Other youth that participated were Tyler Chappell, Ashley Brittan, Rachel White, Rebecah White, Brittan Taylor, Lucas Smith and Kristen Stevenson. —GaeLynn Peterson, Wayne County USU Extension

Wills, Trusts, and More Estate Planning for Children with Disabilities by Jeffery J. McKenna

Making an estate plan is not something that anyone looks forward to doing. It is difficult to make difficult decisions about what we want to happen to our property after we die. Parents of children with disabilities have additional apprehensions about making estate plans. These parents are anxious about their disabled child's future. Parents worry about who will care for their disabled child, where their child will live, what services their child will need, and what can be done to protect their child's eligibility for needed services. Parents may believe that when they die, other family members will take care of their child with a disability, despite the fact that they have never discussed this with any other family members. The size of your estate is irrelevant. What is important is that you make plans about how your resources will be used after you die. Lack of planning could have serious negative consequences for a child with a disability – whether it be a young child or an adult child. When you meet with your estate planning attorney, you should explain the nature and severity of your child's disability to the attorney. You should be sure that the attorney understands what your child can do with respect to making decisions about medical care, money, where to live, and other activities which he or she will have to carry on after you die. Trusts are often very good mechanisms for parents of a child with a disability to use in planning for their child's financial future. A well-drafted trust can enhance the quality of life of an individual with a disability. Your trustee is legally obligated to follow your instructions. Some parents are intimi-

dated by the thought of having a trust because they think it is too complicated. Parents sometimes avoid discussing the possibility of establishing a trust because they plan to leave money to their other children whom they believe will use the money to care for the child with a disability. Leaving the money outright to the other children is risky. The other children have no legal obligation to use that money for their sibling with a disability. If the other children die before the child with a disability, or get a divorce, or suffer a bankruptcy, the funds may not be used as intended. A trust can serve various purposes such as paying bills, paying for services that are provided to the child with a disability, and providing goods and services that the government will not supply. A trust can meet changing needs and circumstances. There are different ways to create a legal trust. A popular trust for people with disabilities is referred to as a “supplemental needs” trust. It is wise to discuss your options with an attorney and make your choices based on what will best serve your needs and the needs of your disabled child. There may

Either/Or

The folks around these parts have a peculiarity that drives me nutty. You ask them an "either/ or" question, and their answer is -- "That'll be fine!" The other day, a lady was coming through my register. I asked, "Ma'am, would you like your milk in a bag or not?" "That'll be fine," was her reply. I looked quizzically at her, and asked, "Does that mean 'yes' or 'no'?" "I said that that'll be fine," was her answer. Since I was holding the milk up in my hand, out of a bag, I decided to assume that "that" in this case meant "that naked jug of milk that you're holding in your hand, not in a bag." This feeling was further reinforced by a slight nod of the head towards the jug just as she said the word "that'll." I set the jug in the cart without putting it in a sack. "I SAID I wanted it in a bag," she complained. "You want me to shout it or write it down for you?" "That'll be fine!" I replied.

Trash Can

One day, over the phone, I was helping a customer install a product on his iMac computer. The procedure required him to delete an old file. On the iMac there is an icon of a trash can that is used to collect items to be permanently deleted. I told the customer to click on the old file and drag it to the trash. Then I had him perform a few other steps. As a reminder, I said, "Don't forget to empty the trash." Obediently he replied, "Yes, Dear."

How Often?

When I go to a local discount store to get oil and filters for my car, I buy my wife a bouquet of flowers on display near the checkout counter. During one trip, some women in line behind me were oohing and aahing about a husband getting flowers for his wife. "How often do you do that?" one asked. Before I could answer, the cashier, more than familiar with my routine, said, "Every three months or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first."

Date Night is Back! What is your communication style? Are you a chameleon, a rebel, an executive, or a critique? Couples enjoyed Bruce Chappell’s delicious pulled pork with all the fixings as Mike Petree discussed how to recognize various communication styles and how to put your best energy into understanding what your spouse has to say before trying to have your spouse understand what you have to say. This discussion will continue at the next date night so watch for it…… you won’t want to miss it! —GaeLynn Peterson, Wayne County USU Extension

Empty Seat

The plane was only halffull. When an attractive young woman asked if the seat next to mine was free, my male ego soared. Soon we were chatting pleasantly, and she told me it was her first flight. "Mom said to sit next to someone I thought I could trust," she confessed nervously, "and you look just like my dad."

I hope all of you Mothers had a great Mother’s Day. In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation designating the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day. Every day should be Mothers day; for all that they do for the family. We went up again to Twin Falls to visit our Granddaughter Teah, this weekend. Twin Falls is a real boom town; it is driven by the dairy business. Everyday 350,000 cows are milked and they produce 13 million tons of dairy products annually. The Twin Falls area is now called Magic Valley and most of all the farm land as far as you can see is planted in alfalfa and very little land goes into potatoes. The BASE jumpers were out in force and we saw at least 10 of them jump off the bridge. They jump over the Snake River, with the hope if anything goes wrong they will land in the water. However the bridge is 480’ high and last week a jumper’s chute didn’t open and the water was like hitting cement. The jumper was from California and an experienced BASE jumper, he was 73 years old, which goes to show you that you’re never too old to do dumb things. Hardly any of the jumpers are from the Twin Falls area, they come from all over the world to test

their nerve here. They spend hours packing their chutes and the jump only lasts about a minute. I can’t figure out how you can get into this sport it scares me just watching them. Twin Falls is about 3 miles off the freeway and we had passed it by many times wondering what was there, it is a sprawling City with 20,000 people living there. There is a lot of scenery along with plenty of things to do. Our Granddaughter is completing her third year of medical school and the third and fourth years you spend time doing rotations (dealing with the different facets of the medical field) usually these rotation last 6 weeks. Teah was able to spend 5 months learning family medicine in Twin Falls. Next she will be dealing with internal medicine and then off to California, Alaska and Peru in South America. She sure leads an exciting life. Miss Caine’s photography class went up to Alpine to visit Adobe, (the big building off the freeway, that is in front of Cabella’s.) Adobe is the place that makes the soft ware that is used in their class and they were able to see how this process comes about. Adobe employs over 800 and that area has become little Silicon Valley, because of the fast growing computer businesses

that are moving there. Memorial Day is coming early this year and so is the PHS Graduation, as usually this is a very bright class and they will make their parents very proud of them in the future. Out at the cemetery all of the extra items that were put on the graves will be held at the white shed on the north side for two weeks and then will be taken to the dump if not claimed. This year is the 50th anniversary of the eighth wonder of the World, the Houston Astrodome. The dome housed the football team, Oilers and the Colt 45s baseball team. When the dome opened, the baseball team had a name change to the

Houston Astros. It was twice as large as any single enclosure ever built before. It is a half mile around the Flying Saucer roof. The greenhouse ceiling had the baseball outfielders losing fly balls from the glare. The transparent ceiling had to be painted over; this caused the grass to die because of the lack of sunlight. This led to the invention of Astro Turf grass. (I subscribe to the Smithsonian Magazine and from time to time when the news is slow I will put in an article that I find interesting). The past is history, the future is unknown, so live for the moment it a gift, that why it is called the Present. Mack O.

BRYCE VALLEY AREA NEWS by Vicki D. Syrett 679-8687 or vickidiane36@hotmail.com

Well Mother's Day has come and gone and many Moms were happy to hear from their families. Especially the ones with family on Missions somewhere in the world. Skype and phones were the method of saying Happy Mother's Day for many of the Missionaries and Military people and it was fun to hear and see their sons and daughters. Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day and are now content and happy tonight. Let's not forget the many men who are raising families without a Mother at home and wish them a Happy Mother's Day at as well. Cajun Syrett, son of Bryce and Cherish Syrett, was a star in the Play at Dixie College recently and had a great time doing it. The Play was "Raging Red" and was a musical. He said he really enjoyed doing the part. Attending the performance from here were Bryce and Cherish Syrett, Rod and Kathern Syrett, Wyatt and Chyenne Mecham, and from Panguitch Mike and Margaret Tebbs. They all had their families with them and enjoyed the play. Some more names graduating from SUU were Cache and Kylie Mortesen, and Ryan Moore. Cache majored in Physical Education & Human Performance, Kylie was majored in Family Life & Human Development, Ryan was Cuma Sum Laude and his major was Electrical Engineering Technology. Parents of Cache are Shawn and Crystal Mortensen of Tropic with grandparents, Pete and Keela Mangum also of Tropic. Kylie's parents are the Tyce Palmer's of Panguitch and grandparents are Bart & Peggy Palmer of Tropic. Ryan's parents are Frankie & Gayle Moore of Henrieville with grandmother Lula Moore also of Henrieville. Congratulations to the graduates. We wish them lots of good luck in the future. The Eldon J. "Dutch" and Ora Brinkerhoff Reunion was held on Saturday, May 9th at Bryce Valley High School. They had planned on holding it outside but the rain changed their plans quickly. There were over 100 people in attendance and all had a great time. Some of the activities included auctioning off some prizes. Gwen Brinkerhoff and daughter Natalie Torgerson took some old family pictures along

with newer ones and made a book showing the whole family up thru the present time. Everyone loved the book and have given orders to get a copy for themselves. In the evening events the book was won by Donna Chynoweth and will be a treasure to her. Some old quilt blocks cut by Ora herself were found and daughter, Orietta sewed them togther and quilted them to make a wonderful quilt which all really liked. It was won by Gwen and Ferrill Brinkerhoff. Attending with their families were the children of "Dutch" and Ora. Donna & Link Chynoweth, Rose and Jeff Hunt, Oretta & Doug Malmetal, Ferrill & Gwen Brinkerhoff, Raymond Brinkerhoff, and Louise & Jim England. What a wonderful time everyone had. Speakers in Cannonville were Klancey Ott and children Skyler, & Kage. Also Speaking was Shan Thompson and the Primary sang some Mother's Day songs. The Mother's were given flowers for Mother's Day. In Henrieville youth speakers were Keni Floyd, Kezli Floyd, Tanner Neilson, Isaac Johnson, Hayden Adkins, and Brittney Shakespear. Talking along with them were Ken Platt and Frankie Moore. The Primary sang some Mother's Day songs for the program. Shauna Mortensen was released as Activity Days Leader and Rex and Kathy Rushton were called to fill that spot. The Mother's received a CD of Janice Kapp Perry's music. The District Track Meet for 4th through 8th grades will be held this Thursday at BVHS Track. Hope it is a nice day for it to take place. People are wondering and asking about the Emilee's Beauty Boutique Salon. It's a little crazy right now with school still in and sports going on. They are trying to get a schedule set up, but this month will be hit and miss. There will not be set hours, but they will try to have walk-in days and post when those are. If you would like to set up an appointment please give Emilee, Lonee, or Samantha a call/ text. We will also be welcoming Erica in June to take on appointments for Men's haircuts! They will do their best to accommodate you as they are trying to get into the swing of

things. There will be a Baby Shower held on May 25th at 2:00 P.M. in the Cannonville Church Building for Tamra Moss Lee.

Thurber

by Adus F. Dorsey II

Bliss Brinkerhoff. MAY 10, 2015 - When you are driving east from Bicknell at mile post 62 on S.R. 24 in Wayne County, if you were to look south over Andy Taft’s freshly plowed fields, and in your minds eye, you just might can see the old town site of Thurber. If you get to the dead raccoon on the side of the road you have gone too far. On page 225 of the book “Rainbow Views”, Dora M. Morrell writes that Thurber was once a thriving community settled by A.K. Thurber in 1875, in what is now known as the “Bicknell Bottoms”. A.K. brought into the valley about 600 head of Church Cows and Beason Lewis came a little later with about four or five hundred more. These fine fellas took up land at the mouth of Government Creek. Lewis built a four-room log house and moved his family into it. Soon others like Levi Brinkerhoff, Jeremiah and George Stringham, George and Willard Brinkerhoff and Jorgen Jorgensen followed suit. Driving south near Sandy lane, about a quarter of mile past Carl and Margaret Taft’s old place and on your left is a log cabin, the last remnants of the town of Thurber. In its hey day it was a happy place where Bliss Brinkerhoff grew to about 8 / 10 years old before his family moved up to present day Bicknell Town. To hear Bliss Brinkerhoff tell stories of his youth in the old log cabin kind of makes one long for a simpler life. With the voice of a true patriarch Bliss says, “The cabin was built by my Grand Father Willard and his brother George Brinkerhoff, down about a half a mile from where it sits now, near Dee Brink’s old place. It was used as a cheese factory where they ran dairy cows and would make cheese and butter; eventually the cabin was moved over to where it sits now.” Back in those days they moved houses like sheepherders today move their sheep camp. Bliss goes on to say, “Five people lived in the three room house lit only with a coal oil lamp in the evenings, it had a cellar off to the west end where we would keep our

The Bean

fruit. That house had a fulllength porch on the North side where my brother and I would sleep; my sisters and folks had the rooms on inside. For all the time we as family stayed down there my brother Rollo and I had our little bed out on the porch and Rollo would make me sleep on the out side. Being a little kid and out side in the dark, with the wind whistling a lit bit; I was always leery because I always thought I could hear a tin man walking around. Then I would dig way deep down in them covers and try and get Rollo to let me sleep against the house side, but he was the biggest and he didn’t.” Bliss remembers a time when he was young that there was a (silent) movie playing in town that he really wanted to go see with his friends Carl and Cula (Ekker) Taft. (Movies only came to town about three times a years so it was a really big deal) His Mother Myrtle told him it would be all right but he would have to walk the mile and half to town to watch the show. “So these three young kids go to see this show about these sharp scientists that wanted to make a man and they made him six or seven feet tall and he had big bones and a square head. We went to see that show and being at that age it was quite a time. Them scientists got to building that old grizzly fellar and they got him all built but they had forgot about a brain so they scratched their heads and looked around then said there is a place down the street that has some criminal brains, lets go get one of them and put it in him. So they goes and gets this criminal brain and puts in him and sews his head up. There we were these 8 / 10 year old kids there a looking at all this a going on with big eyes, and then they goose him with some electricity of some kind and he started to shake and blinking his eyes and looking over to these fellars. It is a picture show still as clear in my mind as the day we three went to see it,” said Bliss. “When he got a little life in him the first thing he done was reach over and tries and grab one of them guys that

built him and he comes up off the table and starts in a chasing them around the room. I don’t remember how the movie ended. But there was three little kids a mile and half from home and it was at ten o’clock at night and it was not a full moon, it was dark and we had a mile and half to get home, down a dark lane with tall rabbit brush on both sides of the road for most of the way. And there was a slight breeze a blowing that was wiggling those brush and there we were, three wide eyed kids a going back home in the dark.” “We would go down through there a lookin and see a big bush and it would be a moving “Hey that fellar might be in there what are we gonna do?” We would round up and have a conversation, the only thing we kin do is see if we could out run him. And we would get set and say “go” and take off and run past that bush and get to where it was a little bit open and look around to see if he was a coming, but he didn’t. That is the way we went for about three fourths of way down through there on the lane until we got down to the old town of Thurber. It was there Carl and Cula was to take another little old road that slaunched off to the east to their house and I had about… half a mile left to go it alone. Oh boy!” Bliss leans back in his chair and belly laughs, remembering watching for old Frankenstein in the rabbit brush just like it was yesterday. “So anyway I would go on down through there, and finally I decided, well if he is gonna get me, he is gonna have to get me a runnin. So I took off a runnin just as fast as I could run for about a half a mile and I didn’t even stop to turn the knob on the door on the old farmhouse.” Bliss leans back again in his favorite chair with a smile on his weathered face and says, “it is times like those that just stick in yer mind, and make life worth it.” For the most part Thurber only lives on these days in the hearts, minds and great stories from folks like Bliss, that once lived there.

Let's hear it for the lowly bean, ubiquitous legume. It's served in ritzy bistro and rural greasy spoon. It feeds the hungry of the world, from Hanksville clear to China. The red, the white, the pinto bean, the kidney and the lima.

To eat the bean you soak it first. It ain't all that much trouble. Then boil it. Use a big old pot, 'cause it will cook up double. From there there's lots of recipes for preparation. Try 'em. They're often baked, with pork and stuff. The Mexicans re-fry 'em. The bean creates mild air pollution when it's been digested. It is a gassy little fruit, and pungent when ingested. They serve bean soup in Washington, for legislator's lunches. Could that be why they blow hot air in such enormous bunches? I wonder if the Vatican, the haven of the holies, Occasionally serves the Pope a pot of hot frijoles.

For Your Health Advising Patients About Cold Sores Fever blisters, known as herpes simplex labialis or more commonly as cold sores, are a painful, disfiguring medical condition that may be preventable with the use of the appropriate product.

What Causes Fever Blisters? Fever blisters or cold sores are caused by a virus known as herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). It is similar to the herpes simplex type 2 virus that causes genital herpes. They are so similar that both are capable of infecting the oral or genital tissues. Recognizing Fever Blisters Many people know when a fever blister will erupt because they feel a tingling or burning sensation on the area where one has previously appeared—usually the lips or other area surrounding the mouth. This sensation is known as the prodrome. Within a short period, small blisters filled with a clear, yellow fluid appear. The first ones may be sparse, but additional blisters usually continue to appear, creating one large lesion that is disfiguring. During this time, normal oral activities such as talking, singing, and eating are painful. After about 2 days, the blisters begin to break open. The yellowish fluid that leaks from them is highly infectious. Eventually, the blisters begin to heal, and new skin appears. How Does a Person Get Infected? A person who is infected with HSV-1 continues to shed the virus. He or she may drink from a cup or straw during an active viral outbreak and transfer the virus to that object. Anyone who uses the cup after this individual can catch the virus. The infected person may also touch the fever blister and get the virus on his or her hands. Anything a patient touches (like doorknobs or school desks) will have active virus that can also be spread to others. Kissing someone during a period of active disease is another way to pass the infection. Treating Fever Blisters Some products for fever blisters only provide a certain degree of skin protection and pain relief. They contain such ingredients as protectants (e.g., petrolatum, zinc oxide, allantoin) or anesthetics (e.g., benzocaine, pramoxine, benzyl alcohol). However, such products do not shorten the duration of the lesions. The only nonprescription ingredient that can accomplish this is docosanol, as found in Abreva Cream. Those aged 12 years and above should apply Abreva to the face or lips when they first feel the tingling sensation of the prodrome stage. If applied promptly, docosanol cream can shorten the duration of the outbreak and speed healing. It should be applied five times daily until the fever blisters are fully healed. Preventing Recurrences Once you have contracted fever blisters, they cannot be cured. However, you can take some steps to prevent them from coming back. A major trigger of recurrences is body temperature. For some reason, a rise in temperature reactivates the virus. Therefore, you should avoid overexposure to the sun, such as when tanning. Even overwarming yourself by wearing too many layers of clothes in the winter can be enough to cause an outbreak, especially when you are also exercising, as when skiing.

Practical Money Matters

Improving Millennials' Financial Literacy with Mobile Technology by Jason Alderman

The 2015 Financial Literacy Summit 2015, (http:// www.practicalmoneyskills. com/summit2015/) held April 15 in Chicago and co-hosted by Visa Inc. and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, focused on how mobile technology might improve millennials' learning, savings and investing behavior in the future. A recent FICO study said millennials, the demographic born between 1980 and 2000, not only represent the largest group of individuals using mobile banking applications, but also the biggest cohort partaking in Internet browsing, emailing, searching, social networking and news consumption on a smartphone or tablet, bypassing desktop machines entirely. By comparison, only 5 percent of 3554 year-olds and 3 percent of those 55 years and older are using mobile devices exclusively. The Summit audience heard particularly eye-opening insights from a panel on how early education and mobile technology applications can help build future generations' financial literacy. While online gaming (http://practicalmoneyskills.com/games/) is showing particular success in training grade- and high-

school age students in financial fundamentals, panelists suggested that the broader solution will depend on national educational policy and a broader understanding about young adults and their financial needs. Amando M. Tetangco, Jr., governor of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, the central bank of the Philippines, told the audience that young Filipino adults are "struggling more than their older counterpart groups with regard to budgeting" and retirement planning, but he said he is still optimistic: "I believe there are certain characteristics of millenials that provide opportunities to build [their financial capabilities]. They have a desire for change." Such change, he said, should be driven by data and policy should be made personal and tied to technology solutions embraced by younger citizens. Panelist Jason Young, CEO and Co-Founder of MindBlown Labs, an Oakland, California-based software developer behind the Thrive 'n' Shine personal finance game app for teens and young adults, said mobile technology will bridge the gap between financial literacy and a lifetime of successful financial decision making. "Eighty to 90 per-

cent of U.S. teens have smart devices. That's huge, but the important thing to understand is that these aren't just things they use. They're a way of life." Developing a stronger connection between financial literacy education and mobile technology could be beneficial for global educators and policymakers trying to improve spending, saving and investing knowledge for future generations. In January, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) released a first-time global financial literacy study (http://www.oecd.org/pisa/ keyfindings/pisa-2012-resultsvolume-vi.htm) that revealed that U.S. students ranked between eighth and twelfth place among all 18 participating countries in overall literacy skills. Bottom line: Focusing on the way under-35 consumers use smartphones and tablets might provide a way for educators, financial services companies and policymakers to narrow the financial literacy gap.
