Steve Hendershott, Tracy Johnson and Jane Lewis pose after receiving their award. PANGUITCH - New Frontiers for Families is pleased to announce that Jane Lewis and Steve Hendershott were recently the recipients of the “Excellence in Community Action - Volunteer Service Award” from the Community Action Partnership of Utah In connection with the Depart-
ment of Health and Human Services. A luncheon was held on April 29th up at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center in West Valley. The Keynote Speaker that morning was Max Roth of Fox 13 News and the Master of Ceremonies for the awards was Ben Winslow of Fox 13 News. Three New
Frontiers employees were able to be at the ceremony to give their congratulations, Tracy Johnson Executive Director, Bevin Owens Administrative Assistant and Laura Adams Program Director. Steve and Jane were both nominated by New Frontiers for Families, a non-profit located in Panguitch. Both Steve and Jane have been supporters and volunteers for New Frontiers over the past ten years. Jane is the Board Chair for New Frontiers giving generously of her time and her money, going so far as to personally sponsoring a recent teen trip to the state Capitol. Steve has worked part time for New Frontiers but has always given so much more time and energy to the programs of New Frontiers especially the Healthy Happy U Afterschool Program. All non-profits rely on volunteers to make the programs truly successful, and New Frontiers for Families is no different. We were pleased with the partnership of CAP to be able to acknowledge these two exceptional individuals. —New Frontiers for Families
Local Youth Solos on Viola with the Utah Symphony TROPIC - Last summer Miriam Wagstaff was pleasantly surprised when she learned she had been selected as a finalist in the annual "Salute to Youth" competition sponsored by the Utah Symphony. At the time, Miriam was attending Meadowmount School of Music located in Westport New York—a summer chamber music camp for young musicians. After asking to be excused from classes for a couple of days, an airline ticket was purchased for a quick trip to the live auditions in Salt Lake City. Auditions were "blind" which means the judges were seated behind a screen so they could only hear—but not see—the finalists perform. During a layover on the return trip to New York Miriam learned that not only was she among the competition winners, but she was the soloist selected to perform her
entire concerto at the All Star Evening concert with the Utah Symphony. The Utah Symphony's All Star Evening: Dávid's Viola Concerto was held at Abravanel Hall in Salt Lake City May 17, 2016 at 7:30 pm. Miriam played the Gyula Dávid Viola Concerto in the first half of the program. Composed by Hungarian composer Dávid in 1951 the concerto is divided into 3 movements and is about 30 minutes long. In the second half of the program selected young musicians from around the state joined the Utah Symphony on stage and experienced playing orchestral works side by side with professional musicians. The viola is a close cousin of the violin and is very similar in appearance but is a little larger than the violin. Viola strings are a fifth lower than violin strings. So the "voice" of the violin can be compared to a soprano, while the viola is

Two 70’ x 50’ tracking solar generators and a 5-mile long Shared Use Path are Bryce Canyon National Park’s newest additions. BRYCE - Lisa Eckert, Superintendent of Bryce Canyon National Park, proudly extends an invitation to see the new solar array, and hike, bike or stroll along the Shared Use Path. These projects are completed in time for the larger National Park Service’s (NPS) 100th Anniversary celebration. To commemorate these two improvements the park, Bryce Canyon City and U.S. Forest Service/Powell Ranger District, will host a dual ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday, May 19, 2016. This Centennial Event will begin at
11:00 a.m. at the Bryce Canyon Shuttle Station in Bryce Canyon City, and then will move to the Visitor Center for the Solar Array Ribbon Cutting. The event is open to the public, and all are invited to attend. “Transportation and energy underscore the challenges of balancing visitor enjoyment with preservation,” explains Kevin Poe, Bryce Green Team Coordinator. “Just as we realize we need to maximize access, we also need electricity to function. Bryce Canyon predicts
that the Concentrating Solar Photovoltaic (CPV) will generate nearly 400,000 kilowatt hours of electricity each year. This is enough to power more than 40 homes. Superintendent Eckert also points out that “We will be reducing our annual carbon dioxide emissions by 320 tons, which is the equivalent of taking 65 cars off the roads—that’s twice our number of staff vehicles!” Painting the larger picture, Eckert elaborates that “The

A County Divided
I read with interest the front page story in the paper this week about the success of the anti-bullying campaign in the schools. What a fine cause to highlight. The article pointed out being aware of others via the key elements of “empathy” and “walking in someone else’s shoes”…both of which seem to be the underpinnings of the Golden Rule. The next page had letters to the editor regarding the controversial gravel pit. That got me thinking about my history in this community. I will admit right off that I am a move-in. I was lucky to buy property near Teasdale when it was a bargain, relative to now. Local families were selling off land, as agriculture was an increasingly tough way to make a living. In the early part of the new millennium the Torrey area was the sleepy outpost of old hippies and government workers. At that time the County didn’t want to be bothered with promoting tourism. I got involved with some people to breathe new life into the old travel council by forming a non-profit. We signed a five year contract with the commissioners to promote tourism. Our original budget was around $80,000 a year. We hired in a very good director and it took off. What money we made was reinvested in promotion. At the end of our fifth year our budget was around $325,000. Tom Jeffrey, Stan Wood and I believe Clenn Okerlund were running things then. That is when they decided not to renew our contract. They had other uses for that money and they could give that director’s job to a local. It seemed a shame to just disband our dedicated and experienced board who wanted to do something positive for our community. So we transformed our non-profit into the Wayne County Business Association. Our intention was to give a voice to the businesses from Hanksville to Loa. While this was happening, tourism was starting to thrive. The Entrada Institute was expanding its programs. Events like the bike race and concerts were contributing to our restaurants, hotels, auto shops and stores. Many of those visitors bought property and had homes built, stimulating the construction business. When starting the Business Association we came up with lists of short term and long range goals. My long term cause was a badly needed pedestrian/bike path linking the whole County. What could be better than providing a safe way to send the kids to the pool or library, or to bike up to Loa from Torrey. It was going great with over a hundred backers, such as the Scenic Byway folks, The Mormon Heritage Association, the Wayne County Clinic and Capitol Reef National Park. I went to a meeting one day at the courthouse and was informed by Tom Jeffrey and Stan Wood that the County was taking over the project as we were deemed “unqualified” to complete it. That was seven years ago. (Rumor has it a quarter mile is eventually coming). Several years ago Newell Harward was elected County Commissioner. His very first act was to remove the Planning and Zoning Committee, including the thoughtful and even-handed chairman of 14 years. The Committee was replaced with members more to his liking. So here we are today with the upper County people controlling the politics. Their friend, neighbor and/or relatives want to make a profit from siting an industrial facility on the doorstep of the thriving tourist and retirement economy that we have worked for years to build. All at the expense of the health, welfare, and property values of well over a hundred people against the scheme. Does that sound like The Golden Rule to you? Brian Swanson, Teasdale

Wayne County Commission votes for resubmission of gravel pit application P&Z to hold new meeting at Community Center in Bicknell on May 23 at 7pm
The Wayne County Commissioners, in a meeting Monday evening, May 9th, voted unanimously to require the re-submission of an application for a zoning change to establish a rock and gravel mining, processing and distribution operation on 120 acres of SITLA-owned residential/agricultural property close by the towns of Teasdale and Torrey, citing possible procedural errors during the application process. The zoning change, requested by Brown Brothers Construction Co., located in Loa, Utah, was strongly contested by local residents with homes and businesses located close to the proposed site, citing medical, safety and environmental concerns. Wayne County Planning & Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing at 7:00pm on May 23, 2016 at the Wayne County Community Center in Bicknell, Utah, to consider an Application for Land Use Amendment and an Application for a Conditional Use Permit submitted by Brown Brothers Construction.

Special Escalante Elementary students to be showcased on KSL News
Escalante Elementary students will be showcased on KSL News this week not just because of one special student, but because of the support of all of his classmates. Carston Byrd is a 3rd grader with special needs in Beth Christensen's class. Carston requires a wheel chair and other forms of support from adults and from other kids to get through his day, and his classmates go the extra mile to make sure Carston is included in all of their activities. But to help his classmates understand what Carston goes through each day, Ms. Christensen initiated a "Walk a Mile in my Shoes" project, in which kids got to spend time in Carston's wheelchair. The kids learned how it feels to be confined in that chair, not being able to get up and do what they normally Carston Byrd. do. "Really, it's all about acceptance and sharing this with kids at other schools who see kids in the same predicament. They see the compassion that these kids are showing," said Laura Lisonbee, a family friend. "We want to thank all the staff and kids at the elementary school for being so supportive of our little man," said his mother, Callie Byrd. KSL sent a crew to interview the students last week, and the segment is scheduled to air late this week on the 10pm news. Check KSL listings online to catch the story. —Insider
From the Publisher's Desk
I am sad to share the news that Linton Rohr, our wonderful contributor of the “Stargazing Tips” column in The Insider, has passed away, from ALS. Linton began writing occasionally for the newspaper a few years ago, beginning with articles about Heritage Starfest at Capitol Reef National Park. Then last June he proposed to do a stargazing column, and has contributed regularly ever since with articles that help connect us with what is going on in our night skies. He was a graceful and engaging writer, always helpful with astronomical terms and concepts so what we could more easily step outside at night and see the story as he was telling it. Earlier this month Linton told us that while he was having a difficult week he was nevertheless working on an article and planned to submit it for publication this week (May 19). He did not have the opportunity to do that. But we are sharing one of his previous columns from last July. It is on page 7. Linton’s contribution to the paper and to our community will be missed. We’d like to express our sincere condolences to his family. —E.W.

Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area Salutes Senator Robert Bennett 1933-2016 SALT LAKE CITY - The Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area has lost a hero in the passing of former Sen. Robert Bennett who sponsored the National Mormon Pioneer Heritage Act, which brought the MPNHA into being. Bennett, 82, died May 4 of complications related to a recent stroke. He also had pancreatic cancer. Bennett had a long and distinguished political career, serving three terms as a U.S. senator. He introduced his bill to create the Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area during the 107th Congress (January 2001-2003). In his introduction, the senator spoke passionately about the need to preserve the rich pioneer heritage of the MPNHA. “The story of the Mormon pioneers is one of the most compelling and captivating in our nation’s history… The Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area will

Bennett had a long and disti nguished political career, serving three terms as a U.S. senator.
serve as special recognition to the people and places that have contributed greatly to our nation’s development,” he said. The senator fought tirelessly to ensure passage of the bill. After it passed the Senate, it received the support of the House of Representatives on July 24, 2006. The act was signed into law by President George W. Bush on Oct. 12, 2006.
Bennett’s love for the area grew out of the many trips he took through the state campaigning for his father, U.S. Sen. Wallace Foster Bennett . In a Discovery Road episode “Discovery Road – ANHA Tour” he spoke of those experiences: http:// www.mormonpioneerheritage.org/discovery-road-videos/ “With the development of the Interstate…it had the effect of leaving [Highway] 89 behind,” he said. “It meant it left a lot of history behind… It’s important that history not be lost.” “The MPNHA and its people owe so much to the vision of Sen. Bennett and his commitment to preserving the rich history of the area,” said MPNHA Director Monte Bona. “We mourn the loss of a true friend and offer our condolences to Sen. Bennett’s family and loved ones.” —Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area

& Sports Sage Testing & Common Core Changes Proposed On May 13th, Governor Herbert discussed his proposed changes to the SAGE assessments and the Utah Common Core. Governor Herbert recently presented the Utah State School Board with a formal request to repeal SAGE testing in the secondary schools and develop new curriculum standards which represent Utah. A motion was made by Utah State School Board member Dave Thomas to begin the process of rulemaking to remove SAGE testing from 9th-12th grades and replace it with the ACT test contingent upon legislative approval to change the current statutes. The motion passed with only 4 voting in opposition. We will now wait to see if Utah Legislature will approve the recommendation by the Utah State Office of Education. Please understand, the SAGE testing will remain in place for the 3rd- 8th grade students unless statutes are changed at the legislative level. A second motion was also made by Dave Thomas to have the USOE begin a comprehensive revision of the K-5 English language arts, 6-12 English language arts, K-5 mathematics (which was just revised in 2016), 6th-8th grade math, and all high school mathematics teaching standards pending a one-time supplemental budget approbation from Utah Legislature for the review. The motion passed with only two no votes. Please know, I have paraphrased the two motions and voting totals. SAGE was originally created to track student’s growth in the classroom and has since been connected to school letter grades, performance based pay, and other school accountability models. SAGE tracks students growth very well and when used for its intended purpose is beneficial to provide feedback to parents on the student’s academic progress. The problems arise when the SAGE test is used for unintended purposes that it was not designed to do. Additionally, the last number I heard tied to the development of SAGE was approximately $20 million dollars of state taxpayer’s money and to just remove it from the secondary testing options available to districts is problematic. If parents do not want their students tested, they can choose to opt-out of the testing but we lose the ability to follow the student’s academic growth in the educational system. I respect the parent’s decision to opt-out of SAGE but removing the testing platform from all of the secondary grades and replacing it with the ACT may not produce a better alternative. —Ben Dalton, Superintendent, Garfield School District

SPOTLIGHT Wayne High School Senior 2016
Larissa Wells My name is Larissa Wells. I live in Hanksville, and my parents are Lance and Lisa Wells. I am planning on attending Southern Utah University in Cedar City. I am still unsure of my future after that, but I hope to find a career I enjoy and I want to have a family of my own. My parents have definitely been the most supportive to me during my high school years, and they always encouraged me to do my best and comforted me when I felt overloaded with responsibilities. I love them unconditionally and thank them for loving me enough to challenge me but never pushing me farther than I could handle.
This weekly student spotlight is brought to you by Wayne High School and the Entrada Institute Scholarship committee. These spotlights are not only to inform the people of Wayne County about these fine seniors, but to encourage contributions to the “Scholarship of Excellence” program for students at WHS.

Improper Estate Planning Can Spell Disaster for Children
Few tasks we attempt during our lives have a greater impact on our family than creating an estate plan. Proper planning can ensure the future of our children, whereas little or poor planning can have devastating effects on their lives. Potentially, the worst thing you can do is to leave your property to your minor children outright. If you do, the probate court would actually control this money until your children are adults. Leaving property directly to adult children can also have pitfalls, depending on the responsibility and maturity levels of each child. The best way to plan for minor children is by providing for them through a Common Trust. This can be created as a part of your will or trust. The trustee of the Common Trust can provide your children with as much income and principal of the trust as each child requires for his or her individual health, maintenance, support, and educational needs. The trustee can make sure that the children with the most needs are properly cared for. The Common Trust can ensure that your youngest child's basic needs are met before the assets are divided among all your children. A typical Common Trust remains in existence until your youngest child reaches a specific age. When the Common Trust
by Jeffery J. MCkenna terminates, you can then leave each child's share in his or her own Separate Trust, if desired, or allow outright distribution. Separate Trusts can call for distributions of the trust principal over time. For instance, the terms of a child's trust could provide that a child is to receive one-third of the trust share upon reaching the age of 30, one-third at age 35, and the balance at age 40. The trustee of the child's Separate Trust can be given the discretion to distribute principal and income for your child’s basic needs, as well as special needs of buying a house, or purchasing a business. If your child dies before the complete distribution of his or her trust share, you can control where the assets will then pass. Leaving property to your children in trust as opposed to outright can protect your children from their own youth or inexperience with handling money. Many young people are overwhelmed by immediate and uncontrolled wealth, and their inheritance can prove to be a source of destruction rather than a blessing. Your child may no longer see a need to continue getting an education, to maintain good grades, or to remain employed. With older children, their newfound wealth may provide them with too much unproductive time and independence. They may spend too much,
quickly and unproductively. This, in turn, can put a strain on their family life. Leaving property in trust for your children can provide them with protection from their creditors, from an unsuccessful marriage, or from constant requests for loans from relatives or friends. It can provide them with crucial asset management and investment assistance to help preserve the inheritance. The factors which need to be considered to best determine the amount of money to leave a child and in which manner are the following: His or her age, the individual’s maturity and financial savvy, and the amount of the child's own estate. Also to be considered are the child's relationship with his or her spouse and family, the standing with creditors, and individual needs. They key to proper planning for children is not simply to leave money, but to leave money intelligently. WITH A SATELLITE OFFICE NOW IN PANGUITCH. Jeffery J.

The farmer's son was returning from the market with the crate of chickens his father had entrusted to him, when all of a sudden the box fell and broke open. Chickens scurried off in different directions, but the determined boy walked all over the neighborhood scooping up the wayward birds and returning them to the repaired crate. Hoping he had found them all, the boy reluctantly returned home, expecting the worst. "Pa, the chickens got loose," the boy confessed sadly, "but I managed to find all twelve of them." "Well, you did real good, son," the farmer beamed. "You left with seven."

Peace
Feeling tired, I flopped on the living-room sofa. Within seconds music from my daughter's radio blared from the kitchen, disturbing my much-needed peace. As calmly as I could, I called, "Please turn that racket off! It's driving me crazy!" "Okay, Mom," my loving daughter yelled back. Then she turned off the dishwasher.
Your Way
At a family gathering, a husband began teasing his wife about how she always get her way. "Honey," she said to her husband, "when I get my way, that's a compromise." "What is it when I get my way?" he was quick to ask. She replied, "That's a miracle."
So Bright
I believe my little daughter wants a pair of glasses. I don't know why she does. Perhaps glasses are now "cool" to have in school? But though she sees just fine, she still says she needs glasses. I took her to the eye doctor just to check it out though. She was asked to read the bottom row of letters on the eye chart. She said, "All right, I can see the O and the P and the T, but not the N and the Z."

FYI PANGUITCH
May 19, 2016
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Well it’s been a busy couple of weeks for us with our tripping down to Peru and all, but I will try to catch up on the happenings. I am really sad about losing our School Superintendent Ben Dalton, what a loss to Garfield School District. People like Mr. Dalton don’t come along very often and when that happens every effort should be made to keep them. Ben is very intelligent and very kind with the employees in the District and he took over a District that was bankrupt and got the finances in order, which is a miracle in itself. The Dalton family has been very active in the community and have two very charming daughters. The Dalton’s will be going down to Kanab to take over that district and I hope Kanab will realize what a jewel they are getting. Good luck to the Daltons and thank you for saving Garfield County School District. A couple of weeks ago the Drama team went up to Richfield to compete in State Drama. They placed 4th in the Play competition against 18 teams. Ten of the students came away with Gold Awards, this is really a fun event and the kids can be in an event that allows them to be a character that is not themselves. Connie Orton’s son George Orton has come for a visit and is fixing up her home. George has been nominated to “The Skateboarding Hall of Fame”. A few years ago George rode a long board from the Lake to Panguitch while lying down. The Governor’s State of Sports Award to honor 44 of
Utah’s coaches and athletes for Excellence performances in 2015 were held last week. Gov. Gary Herbert said that it was great to honor the Top Athletes, Teams and Coaches in our State and I salute each nominee for their contributions to sports in Utah. Whittni Orton was honored as the outstanding Female High School Athlete. What an athlete Whittni has been, winning 4 gold medals in cross country, countless Gold medals at the State track meets, an All State Player both on the two time champion Volleyball team and three time champion Basketball team, where she was Defensive Player of the Year and MVP the next. Panguitch High School Championship Girls Basketball Team was selected as the Team of the Year for 2015. The Lady Cats were undefeated for two years and this award beat out all the teams in the State including the college teams. A lot of things going on in town this month, most of them deal with the High School. The Business Women’s High School Graduation Tea will be held the 22nd. The Seminary Graduation will be held also on that date at Circleville. The High School Graduation will be held on Friday the 27th. This is also Memorial Weekend, it starts on the 27th and finishes on Monday the 30th. Please remove your flowers from the grave sites, so the caretakers can spruce up the cemetery. This is a brief outline of our trip to Peru, what doesn’t show up is the time we spent
touring, many of the mornings we got up at 4:30 in the morning and got back home at 10:00 at night. This enables us to put a two week vacation into 5 days. Put Peru on your bucket list, it is a fascinating Country with so much to see and do. One warning though, don’t rent a car, Uber drivers and taxi are cheap and half the vehicles belong to them. You will get the thrill of a lifetime driving in that traffic, we have been to a lot of places, but none that has traffic like Peru. Also go with a tour or someone that speaks Spanish, because I didn’t hear a word of English spoken anywhere. Our Granddaughter Teah wrote the outline and if she gets tired of the Doctor bit, she would make a heck of a tour guide. Peru 2016 May 7th Arrival to Lima Visited the Center of Lima, the Cathedral w/ the beautiful wedding, saw the guardsmen outside of the National Building where the president resides, and visited the Catacombs in the small church across the street. Ate Lomo saltado & hot Rocoto (red-spicey bell pepper) May 8th : Visited Museo Larco where we saw all of the pottery and history of Peru, different from North to South. Ate ceviche (fish cooked in lime juice) for the first time, fried shrimp, and more fish. Tried chicha morada, purple drink made of purple corn flour. Visted Barranco and the Puente de los Supsiros (Overlook of the Spirits), where we looked out over the ocean, saw
the yellow Barranco catholic church w/ the vultures. We went shopping at the souvenir market in Mira Flores and went shoe shopping. May 9th : Flew to Cusco, Peru, it is at 11,000 feet.Took a tour around the outside of the city where we saw the different ruins that were previously destroyed by the Spaniards and then reconstructed. Toured the Temple, that had many little temples inside, made by the Andean & Inca peoples and destroyed by the Spaniards, and reconstructed. Saw the little ladies in their beautiful outfits w/ the llamas. Ate alpaca steak, llama steak, and Guinea Pig and loved it!(ha ha) May 10th : Taxied to Poroy for the 6:10 Train to Aguas Calientes Bus to Macchu Picchu. Saw Macchu Picchu, Returned to Cusco exhausted May 10: Visited the town market where towns people go to buy all of their meats, veggies, cheeses, clothing, etc. Many souvenirs sold here as well. Had our last fresh strawberry drink. Bought many alpaca scarfs. Taxied to the Airport to go back to Lima, bought more souvenirs there. Ate dinner on the cliff overlooking the water, a restaurant owned by the most famous Peruvian chef. We met Teah’s friend who is a girl from Spain who works in exportation of Peruvian organic grains. Taxi, airport, caught the red eye at midnight and was in Las Vegas at 11:30 am and home. Mack Oetting .. get ready for the Quilt Walk Festival!

Loa Elementary Pre-School Graduation
OBITUARIES
by adus f. dorsey ii
Olivia Ellet gets her diploma in her cap and gown.
MAY 11, 2016 - For some of us May has already been a very emotional and mentally challenging month in Wayne County. Kids in their graduation purple caps and gowns are headed off into a world overflowing with new and exciting things to learn; in September when school starts again they will find themselves in a magical and wonderful place called Kindergarten. Gone is the season in life that was once filled with table toys, Dennis Hiskey little wooden corrals, colors, shapes, numbers, letter sounds and sticky buns at snack time? Those are things of the past and will be pleasant memories to think about on an educational journey through time. Now is the moment to embrace the future, look forward and prepare to use all the life tools Ms. Jan taught about, oh so well, in Pre-School. In the mind of a PreSchooler there are no limits, no here and there and no prejudices, it is all about the present. Being three foot tall you get to look up at the world from a perspective you only have once in your lifetime. You get to look at it through wide-open eyes and it is an exciting and animated new place that you will get to grow into. Ask any teacher and they will gladly tell you that early childhood education is one of the best investments our country can make in our youth. Documented research shows that providing a high quality education for children before they turn five has significant long-term benefits that will last a lifetime. Certainly strengthening socialization skills is a plus for Pre–Schoolers, not to mention things like how to compromise, be respectful of others, and the biggy, how to problem-solve. Preschool provides a place where a child can gain a sense of self, explore, play with her peers, and build self-confidence. I have personally seen it and kids in preschool discover that they are capable and can do things for themselves, simple things from small tasks like being
respectful, to pouring their own juice (even if they make a mess from time to time) and being the snack time helper or the ultimate job of being line leader. Oh, oh and my favorite: clean up time…. These and other Pre School activities provide excellent learning opportunities. Quality teachers and preschools help children find answers through exploration, experimentation and in depth conversation that enhance communication and people skills. Life for a Loa Pre– Schooler in Ms. Jan Brown’s class is like springtime, standing down wind of a blooming lilac bush. It is fresh, it smells good and something you can’t help but reach out and pick and wantonly take a hand full of flowers home to your mother or give a bouquet to Kevin the bus driver, just because.

The possibilities are endless and just the thought of finally making it into Kindergarten next year, and a full day of school with a real hot school lunch in the middle of the day with all your friends will be all you can talk about all summer, a fact your tired mommy will be sooo happy to see you go to when summer is finally over. It should be no secret that children often mimic what they see, often repeating something they have heard or what someone important in their life says or does, another prime reason why early socialization is so important. Pre – school is a safe and exploratory environment where children often have the supervised freedom to expand their ways of thinking, and even though I know it must exists I have never in my grown life seen a better example of it than in Ms
In Memoriam Linton Rohr 7/8/56 - 5/8/16 Linton Rohr left this planet for his beloved heavens and Parts Unknown early on May 8. Linton was always an explorer and seeker of knowledge. Born and raised in Newton, Illinois with a passion for music and the great outdoors, Linton left at a young age to play vigorous drums in a pop-rock band in Carbondale, Ill. They had some success, so the band moved to Hollywood. The music career didn't fluorish, but Linton met his future wife Karen at the local health food store. Linton pursued a successful career as an accomplished finish carpenter and project manager on high-end projects in Los Angeles. Linton excelled in high mileage backpacking in the Sierra Mountain range. As one of his friends said: "He was a stallion." Linton and Karen had their happiest adventures traveling and photographing the world together, visiting Europe, Asia, the South Pacific, Australia and New Zealand. They also crossed the United States several times. Linton loved studying US history and the Constitution. Linton took up astronomy and night sky viewing as a serious hobby which he wanted to share with everyone. The dark sky/red rock paradise of Torrey, Utah proved to be the perfect location for Linton and Karen to design and build their dream home. Even with an advancing case of ALS, Linton was instrumental in helping Capitol Reef National Park attain International Dark Sky Gold Tier status. So please, everyone, in Linton's memory, keep the lights toned down so we can all see the stars above!
Jan Brown’s Loa Elementary Pre–School class. Quality education ultimately takes place in the home, whether it is around the dinner table after the dishes are done or daily as part of the family as a unit. There is a saying that it takes a village to raise a child, regardless of its origin, the phrase “It takes a village to raise a child” is not only relevant, it is true. We all have to take extra effort in our communities to be responsible adults and be good examples to our youth, they are constantly watching, and they will some day grow up to be what they see in all of us. Having spent quite a few wintry mornings at Loa Elementary with Ms. Jan Brown’s Pre-School class, not to mention having to come home to take early afternoon naps, for me the Pre-School experience was personally and emotionally rewarding. In an enlightening and special sort of way I feel a special kind of kinship, a fellow comrade if you will, with my fellow graduates of Ms. Jan Brown’s Loa Elementary Pre-School graduating class of 2016…. You never stop learning and experiencing in life, promise yourself to make the most of it.

Stargazing Tips by Linton Rohr
A star has fallen...
We at The Insider heard the sad news that Linton Rohr passed away last week. We have loved his thoughtful and inspiring column. We will look up and think of him tonight and appreciate the gift he has given us. This article is from last July, but it captures Linton's style and hopefully when you see the Milky Way you are a little wiser for having read his words. Goodbye Linton, goodbye you happy stargazer, thank you so much.
The Summer Milky Way
After the spectacular conjunction of Venus and Jupiter at the end of June, Jupiter has continued to move slowly westward, while Venus climbs even higher… approaching Regulus, at the foot of Leo. Regulus is a first magnitude star, the 21st brightest in all the sky, but it pales compared to the two brightest planets. The three now form a wide triangle, which changes shape nightly. Next Saturday evening, the 18th, a thin, 3-day old crescent moon will appear, creating an exceptionally beautiful grouping. Don’t miss it! And if you’re sharp-eyed, have a low horizon, and time it right (don’t wait until it’s dark - the younger the moon, the closer it follows the sun!), you might spot the even-thinner crescent the night before. But right now, with the waning moon rising later and later in the night, the dark night sky is once again allowing the Milky Way to show its glory. It’s already rising even as twilight fades, and is visible as soon as the sky is truly dark. And we’re fortunate to have truly dark sky here… most Americans can no longer see the Milky Way from their homes, due to the proliferation of outdoor lighting. The band of galactic starlight grows brighter and more detailed as it gets higher in the sky, since the light passes through far less atmosphere... 50 miles worth straight overhead versus about 3 times that at the horizon. What we’re seeing is actually another, more inward spiral arm of our own galaxy. In the summer, we’re looking inward toward the galactic core, which lies at the southern end, in Sagittarius. (The brighter stars of Sagittarius form a “teapot” shape, or “asterism”, with which you might be familiar.) We can’t see the actual galactic core, due to immense clouds of cosmic dust that are in the way, but it’s quite spectacular nonetheless! I like to visualize the 3D aspect of it all… the spiral arms wrapping around our little spec of a solar system and continuing on around the other side of the Earth… where it’s daylight now. That’s the outer Milky Way… which we see on winter nights… but, more on that later. Further to the north along the Milky Way, three bright stars form the huge “Summer Triangle”. Vega, the “Queen of the Summer Sky”, is at the top, with Deneb to the lower left and Altair further and lower to the right. It seems aptly named now, but not so much around Thanksgiving, when it’s still lingering in the west! But that’s a big part of watching the night sky… shifting with the seasons… year after year. Stay tuned…

Planning a Summer Road Trip? Pack These Tips
Summer is the perfect time to say goodbye to airport lines and hello to the great American road trip.These tips can help you save money and reduce stress while traveling America’s highways and country roads. Travel Off-Peak Visit attractions on unpopular days of the week to avoid long lines and annoying surcharges. Many attractions and hotels charge extra fees on popular travel weekends, like holidays. Save on Fuel Whether you’re driving a motor cycle or minivan, tuning up your vehicle before hitting the road can be a smart way to ensure optimal performance and fuel efficiency. Make it Fun Bust boredom with games like “20 Questions” and “Name that Tune.” Don’t be shy about making small detours to see onthe-way points of interest -- it’ll break up the journey and be easier on the driver and passengers alike. If you bring the right attitude, the old adage “getting there is half the fun,” will be true of your summer road trip. With a few tips and tricks, you can hit the road headachefree this summer. —Statepoint
