Local Teen to Give Garfield County Recital Tour TROPIC - Miriam Wagstaff, 15, of Tropic has been accepted as a viola student at Meadowmount this summer. Located in the Adirondack mountains of New York near the Canadian border, this intensive seven week chamber music camp admits approximately 200 U.S. and international advanced string & piano students into their pro-
Miriam Wagstaff. gram each summer. A mix of violin, viola, cello and piano students are accepted through a video audition process. Miriam will be taking private lessons from acclaimed violist Patricia McCarty as well as playing in two quartets and a trio, each coached by internationally recognized faculty. The school expects students to spend 5 hours daily in private practice as well as attend private lessons, chamber coachings, rehearsals and the 3x weekly school concerts. It will be a busy summer and Miriam is looking forward to the opportunity to progress in her music and also spend time with good friends from Chicago, and a fellow violist friend from Utah, who will also be students at Meadowmount. Megan Cottam started Miriam on this musical path when at age six Miriam began violin lessons. After five years
with Megan, Miriam began studying both violin and viola with Denise Willey of Pleasant Grove, UT. Currently Miriam studies viola with Dr. David Dalton, retired BYU Professor, and violin with Monte Belknap of BYU. She enjoys playing with the Lyceum Philharmonic youth orchestra in American Fork during the school year, and has had the opportunity to
Courtesy of Rebecca Wagstaff
perform as a soloist with several Utah orchestras during the past four years. Also a fiddler, Miriam is the current Utah state Open Fiddle champ and has fiddled with Russell and Lyndsey Wulfenstein at the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival and the live radio show “Under the Horseshoe.” Although she has been awarded a full-tuition scholarship by the school there remain significant expenses including travel, lodging, sheet music, strings, instrument maintenance and insurance, etc. In an effort to raise funds for Meadowmount, last December Miriam made her first CD, titled Eclectic, which is available for a donation of $20. Eclectic is available in several locations around Garfield County (Panguitch Drug, Ruby's Inn, Clarke's Market, SBSU in Tropic, Cannonville Grand Staircase Store, Es-
calante Home Center, and the Boulder Mountain Lodge) in a self-serve countertop CD display, with slot for donation. Samples can be heard on YouTube by searching “Miriam Wagstaff” and “viola, violin or fiddle.” As a “thank you” to the many residents of Garfield County who have donated for a copy of Eclectic, and also as final preparation for Meadowmount, Miriam will put on a recital tour June 5th and 6th. Everyone is invited to attend and there is no charge. CDs will also be available at the recitals. Recital Schedule: • Friday 5 June @ 7 pm Tropic Heritage Center • Saturday 6 June @ 11:30 am “Meet & Greet” Escalante Home Center [catered bbq lunch will be available for purchase at Home Center during this event] • Saturday 6 June @ 3 pm Escalante Town Park • Saturday 6 June @ 7 pm Boulder Town Hall Classical viola and violin works as well as lively fiddle tunes will be performed. Miriam will be accompanied by pianist Larry Gee. Larry has a Master of Music in piano performance from Indiana University. Among other accomplishments he has been an assistant conductor at the New York City Opera. Now residing in Salt Lake City, Gee has been a keyboardist with the Utah Symphony, Ballet West, and Utah Opera and is in constant demand as an accompanist for recitals in the Salt Lake area. Teaching voice as well as piano, he can be heard with his voice student George Dyer on the Shadow Mountain label. Miriam is the daughter of Clay & Rebecca Wagstaff and the granddaughter of Matt & Virginia Wetzel of Henrieville, Fred & Dyan Wagstaff (formerly of Cannonville) and Dave & Meridee Evers of Anaheim CA. —Rebecca Wagstaff

Garfield Memorial Hospital Names Timothy Marshall as a 2015 Outstanding Nurse in Southern Utah PANGUITCH - Timothy Marshall, RN, with Medical and Surgical Nursing at Garfield Memorial Hospital was just named as a 2015 Outstanding Nurse in southern Utah by Intermountain Healthcare. This award is given to only three nurses a year in southern Utah, and candidates are nominated by their peers. Garfield Memorial Hospital Nurse Administrator DeAnn Brown says, “Tim is a great representative of the Intermountain values. He has both excellent interpersonal and clinical skills that assist us in providing the best of care to our patients. He has served as a mentor to many new nurses and to students and they all appreciate his ability to help them hone their nursing skills. Tim is currently pursuing a degree to become a Nurse Practitioner, and we are excited that he’ll continue to provide excellent care to patients in that new role. Our hospital and community is blessed to Courtesy Garfield memorial Hospital have someone of his caliber providing nursing Timothy Marshall, RN care.” DeAnn cites a recent example of how Tim truly cares about his patients and the extraordinary care he gives. “Tim was caring for a 14-year-old boy who was traveling through our area with his family. The young man had some potentially serious symptoms and was quite concerned about it and what it all meant. He was also not able to return home as planned and was missing school, which was a big deal to him. Luckily, Tim was able to make a connection with this young man using his great sense of humor, which really put the patient and his family at ease. The boy’s mother, who is an RN, was very impressed by Tim’s technical skills, combined with his ability to help the young man keep perspective and reduce his level of stress. We are so happy to have Tim Marshall as a representative of nursing excellence at Garfield Memorial Hospital.” —Garfield Memorial Hospital

HENRIEVILLE - The Henrieville Town Council met on Thursday, May 14 and covered a wide range of topics. Everything from spring cleanup to the health and safety of residents was discussed during the one hour session. For many, spring cleaning continues and Henrieville residents will be pleased to know that they should have ample dumpster space to deposit their unwanted items and garbage. Although no date has been set, dumpsters should be arriving soon for general use in the town. Those who have stuck to their New Year's resolution and have been regularly going to the gym will also be pleased. The broken down treadmill in the gym will be replaced as the town council approved a measure to replace it at a cost of up to $2000. No date has been determined for when the new treadmill will arrive as options are still being explored. Visitors to the park will have a new bench to sit on shortly. The town has acquired two new benches and one will be installed in the short term.
Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive. —Sir Walter Scott

TORREY - Starting on June 1, 2015, Capitol Reef National Park will increase entrance fees for visitors in order to fund important maintenance and improvement projects within the park. Capitol Reef National Park’s new fee structure will be implemented starting Monday June 1, 2015 and includes the following: • 7-day single vehicle entrance fee (for Scenic Drive) from $5.00 to $10.00. Per person rate from $3.00 to $7.00. The park only charges an entrance fee for travel on the Scenic Drive past the campground. • Per motorcycle from $5.00 to $10.00. • Nightly campsite at Fruita Campground from $10.00 to $20.00. • Capitol Reef specific annual pass will be $30.00. This new pass allows entrance for a single, private, noncommercial vehicle or individual for a year from the date of purchase. “This modest increase in fees will allow us to continue to protect, preserve and share the special places here at Capitol Reef with current visitors and future generations,” said Capitol Reef Superintendent Leah McGinnis. “After carefully considering the impact of a fee increase on visitors
and community members, we came to the conclusion that this is the right course of action to improve facilities and services important to visitors. We are thankful to the local community for providing comments and supporting this fee structure.” Entrance fees have supported a wide range of projects that improve the park and visitor experiences, including rehabilitating trails and trailhead signs, developing and installing exhibits in visitor centers, improving park water systems, providing ranger-led programs, and improving ADA accessibility. In the fall of 2014, the National Park Service conducted a nationwide review of entrance fees. To solicit public input, Capitol Reef launched a civic engagement campaign in December 2014. More than 20,000 National Park Service employees care for America's 407 national parks and work with communities across the nation to help preserve local history and create close-to-home recreational opportunities.

Twin Peaks Prescribed Fire Project The Fishlake National Forest, Richfield Ranger District is planning another installment of prescribed fire within the Twin Peaks project area. Twin Peaks is located on the south end of Monroe Mountain, in Piute County. Fire and fuels personnel plan to burn up to 1,700 acres of mixed conifer and Pinyon Juniper fuel types, utilizing both hand and aerial ignition techniques, over a 3-5 day period. If fuel conditions and forecast weather are favorable, the tentative plan is to ignite a test fire as early as Wednesday, May 13, 2015. If the test fire meets expectations, personnel will continue with aerial ignition resources. A compliment of local engines/resources will also aid in accomplishing the prescribed fire operation. Following ignitions, the project area will be seeded, moni-
tored, and patrolled. Previous entries have been made into the project area, in June of 2014 and some this spring in the lower elevations with success. Written objectives of the Twin Peaks Mixed Conifer and Pinyon Juniper Prescribed Fire project include reducing hazardous fuels, reducing risk to life property and natural resources and aspen regeneration. For additional information on the Twin Peaks prescribed fire project, please refer to the attached information sheet. Remember to follow us on Twitter @UtahWildfire, or visit www.utahfireinfo.gov, for updates and other fire related information.

To Share, or Not to Share? To share or not to share. In the play Hamlet by Shakespeare, Hamlet states something very similar to this. “To be or not to be.” A simple passage with a tremendous amount of meaning and implication. We may find ourselves with this same type of dilemma in regards to medications. To share or not to share. Whether it be over the counter, prescription or illicit drugs. At some time in our life we will have to ask ourselves whether the medication that you have is right for another individual. Before we make this decision light heartedly we really should delve into what goes on when a medication is selected for a patient. Physicians, pharmacists and nurses will all confirm there is truly no one mold for the selection of a medication for an individual. There are many different facets that must be looked at. Some of these indicators are very apparent like a child’s dose vs. an adult dose or male vs. female. Yet there are some indicators that are not so easy to see. These can include metabolism and excretion of the drug, drug/disease interactions, drug/drug interactions or even drug/genetic contraindications to name a few. When your doctor selects a medication, all of the characteristics of the patient are weighed. Each small piece of information adds to the whole puzzle of treatment options available to the patient. Your prescription has been carefully chosen and
weighed in regards to the potential benefits and risks associated with the medication. The medication that has been carefully selected for you may be the best fit for you. However, for your friend or loved one, the risks associated with this treatment may outweigh any benefit leading long term issues. With controlled substances, these medications add a whole different dimension to the potentials for problems. In addition to the legal issues surrounding the distribution of controlled substances, you could inadvertently be introducing a potential life threating situation or new addiction. Protect yourself, family, friends, and kids. Teach them about the potentials for harm when medications are shared. Keep your medications out of the reach of those that should not be taking them. Do not advertise that you have or that you take controlled substances medications. Remember the easiest place for your kids to find and procure controlled substances is within your own medicine cabinet. A wise man once told me, “We lock up our guns to protect our kids. Yet medications kill more kids. Why do we NOT lock up our medications in our homes?” Ask yourself this same question and hopefully you will come up with the same answer I did. NOT to share. —Donavan Smith, Pharmacist at Wayne Community Health Center

Newborn Screening Program Receives Governor’s Award SALT LAKE CITY Within the first few days of their lives, the Utah Department of Health’s (UDOH) Newborn Screening Program tests all babies born in the state for 38 different disorders. Newborn screening saves lives, and is critically dependent on timeliness. Today, Governor Gary R. Herbert honored the newborn screening team with the Governor’s Award for Excellence for their efforts in improving timeliness and other operational improvements. Hospitals collect blood samples from each newborn within a day or two of their birth and deliver the samples to the Utah Public Health Laboratory (UPHL) for testing. The Newborn Screening Program reports results back to the hospital within five days of a baby’s life. Some of the disorders, if not discovered within the first several days of a baby’s life, are fatal. A 2014 evaluation of the program, lead by Newborn Screening Laboratory Director Dr. Andy Rohrwasser, discovered some samples weren’t being shipped to the lab in a timely
enough manner to allow results to be reported back to hospitals within five days. “The evaluation highlighted areas where we could make significant improvements in sample transport and laboratory efficiency,” Rohrwasser said. “It wasn’t rocket science to see that we could do much better.” The program entered into a partnership with FedEx and the Utah Hospital Association to ensure all samples, especially from small and rural from hospitals, would be received within three days – and at no cost to the hospital. “Newborn screening is truly life-saving for babies born with certain disorders,” said UPHL Director Dr. Robyn Atkinson. “It shouldn’t matter where in Utah a baby is born, or at what hospital, all babies should be screened as quickly as possible so they can receive the treatment they need.” The improvement has already resulted in at least one success story: Within several days of the program’s implementation a baby born in a rural hospital was identified as
having a life-threatening metabolic disorder. Through prompt screening, the disorder was treated and the baby is thriving. Without the timely screening, the baby most likely would not have survived. Data from the program tell a similar story. Prior to the FedEx partnership, nearly 34% of newborn screening samples were being received within 4-7 days of birth. Following implementation of the program, that rate has dropped nearly in half to 19% and the overall average transport time has improved to less than 1.5 days. In addition to the FedEx partnership, the Newborn Screening Program has also moved to a 7-day operations schedule to further accelerate the screening of newborns. This major task was accomplished through reallocation of resources and without the need for additional funding. The program now receives samples and releases results on Saturdays, and also tests samples on Sundays. —Utah Department of Health

Schools & Sports “It takes a village…”
At the conclusion of another successful school year, I would like to thank all of those who have helped the students in the Garfield School District achieve academic success. It takes all of us to provide a quality education to our students. It starts with parents who make sure their students are ready for the school day. Bus drivers pick up students in the early hours of the morning. Custodians assure a warm building and clean environment for our students. Secretaries greet our students, answer phone calls, and collect lunch money. Food service workers prepare breakfast and lunch to satisfy the student’s most basic needs. Teachers arrive early and stay late to assure they are ready to provide academic instruction. Paraeducators work with students under the teacher’s direction to provide individualized intervention and instruction. Principals oversee and resolve issues on a daily basis to assure students are safe and protected in our schools. Coaches work with student athletes after school to help them achieve their greatest potential. District office staff provides the technology, student information support, implements the Utah State Office of Education directives, and oversees payroll for the employees. The School Board approves the financial purchases and policies governing our District. Parents, grandparents, and volunteers work with our students to complete homework assignments and provide support to our students. I believe the African proverb is correct that states, “It takes a village to raise a child.” Garfield School District is a wonderful place to work because of the students we teach, the communities in which we live, and our association with the wonderful people in our communities. —Superintendent Ben Dalton

Hoofbeats News From Bryce Valley High by John Cloud
Well, hello again everyone! Sadly, this will be my last article with the high school, but it's been quite the year! certainly a good many things have taken place, and It's been a blast. Most recently, the seniors have begun their graduation practice, and I can say that we're beginning to get it down, although the concept of "marching" is being somewhat difficult for some members of the class. The song that we have planned is coming along nicely as well, and we think that we are going to survive this last week-if with some scrapes and bruises. :D Classes have come to an end in almost all cases, and those few classes that are not yet finished will have ended their final projects long before this article is published. All sports at the high school level have closed for the year, and the younger kid's baseball teams will be ending their games and practices this week. The school is for the most part looking forward to the end of year activities, as we approach the Pride point trip and BV day, where the stu-
dents perform several service projects, including cleaning of the roads and some basic maintenance elements around the school and community. So, with a fond farewell from the class of 2015, HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!

It has been a long time since the Cats have had a sprinter, but Josiah surely killed that drought, 3rd in the 100M, 1st in the 200M, 1st in the 400Ms (Josiah was only 2 seconds slower than the 5A runner) and 2nd in the 800 M. Josiah who was running
cross country for four years, only found out how much of a sprinter he is this year. Whittni Orton had another outstanding meet, taking 2nd in the 400M, 1st in the 800M, 1600M and 3200M. Darri won the Discus, 2nd in the 800M and ran in two of the relays. Chesney 2nd in the high jump, 100 M hurdles, 5th in shot put. Catania 2nd in the 1600M, 3200M, 5th 300M hurdles and 1 of the relay team. Brianne also took 1st in the shot put to cap off a great career, no judges in track and field. Again coach Troy Norris did a great job of handicapping the boys team, who actually won by a larger margin this year than in past. This was a team effort with many of the boys chipping in with points. With a really big crop of runners in the freshman class, the Bob Cats should be tough for many years to come. What can you say about the Lady Cats team they rule 1A sports. This years score was greater than the next 4 teams combined. In the last two years the Lady Cats have won seven of the eight championships. Two in Cross Country, Two in Basketball, two in field and track and one in Volleyball. These just weren’t wins they killed their oppositions, going undefeated for two years in basketball and one season in volleyball. With the talent pool left don’t expect them to give up any of their titles any time soon.

Choosing a Guardian for Your Children by Jeffery J. McKenna
If you have young children, you've probably thought about who would raise them if both you and your spouse were to die. It's not an easy thing to consider. However, you can make plans now that will put your fears to rest, knowing that your children will be nurtured and cared for. You can use your will to name the person you want to be the guardian of your children. The judge will appoint the person you nominated in your will as guardian, unless it is not in the best interests of the children for some reason. If you do not name a guardian in your will, anyone who is interested can request to be appointed. The judge then must decide, without your opinion. Legally, you may name co-guardians, but keep in mind that co-guardians could later go separate ways. Here are some factors to consider when selecting a guardian or co-guardians: • Is the prospective guardian old enough? He or she must be an adult, 18 years or older. • Does your choice have a genuine concern for your children's welfare? • Is your choice physically able to handle the rigors of child rearing? • Does he or she have the time? The resources? • Does he or she have children close in age to that of your children? Is this a benefit?
Does the guardian share your moral beliefs? • Would your children have to move away from other family members? If you're having a hard time selecting a guardian, talk with the people you're considering. They may not be willing or able to accept the responsibility. Their feelings about acting as guardian may help you decide. When you and your child's other parent make your wills, you should name the same person as guardian. Otherwise, in the event of both your deaths, the court would be faced with wishes that conflict, and would have to make the choice. If you don't agree on one person, candid discussions with your potential guardians may help you reach an agreement. Most people want their children to stay together. However, you may have good reasons for naming different guardians for different children. In all cases, you should keep the best interests of your children at heart. In most cases a judge would grant custody to a non-parent only if the surviving parent had abandoned the child or was found to be an unfit parent for some reason. Most people have strong feelings about how they want their children to be raised. Your concerns may cover anything from keeping the children together to religious teachings. All of these wishes can be expressed in your will.

The decisions are difficult. In all cases, the best interests of the children come first. Selecting guardianship for your children is, in itself, a good reason to make a will. Nothing gives greater peace of mind than knowing your children will be cared for if something were to happen to you. WITH A SATELLITE OFFICE NOW IN PANGUITCH. Jeffery J.

Actions speak louder than words. The pen is mightier than the sword. Look before you leap. He who hesitates is lost. Many hands make light work. Too many cooks spoil the broth.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Better safe than sorry. The bigger, the better. The best things come in small packages. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Out of sight, out of mind. What will be, will be. Life is what you make it. Cross your bridges when you come to them. Forewarned is forearmed. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. One man's meat is another man's poison. The more, the merrier. Two's company; three's a crowd It's no wonder we're all confused.
My Grandpa, the Blacksmith!
My grandfather worked in a blacksmith shop when he was a boy, and he used to tell me, when I was a little boy myself, how he had toughened himself up so he could stand the rigors of blacksmithing. One story was how he had developed his arm and shoulder muscles. He said he would stand outside behind the house and, with a 5 pound potato sack in each hand, extend his arms straight out from his sides and hold them there as long as he could. After awhile he tried 10 pound potato sacks, then 50 pound potato sacks and finally he got to where he could lift a 100 pound potato sack in each hand and hold his arms straight out for more than a full minute! Next, he started putting potatoes in the sacks.

“Here Come the Horses” An original play & music by Quinn Griffin
In an old cow-town like Escalante, with its numerous saddle ponies, horse racing was a natural form of recreation. Several of the longer more level streets served at various times as racetracks. All holidays, including Christmas time in dry years were occasions for finding out which cowboys had the fastest horse.

Car Repairs
My wife asked me to help one of our neighbors, a young mother whose sailor husband was at sea. Her car had to have a freeze plug replaced; a job that took two days. Then I discovered the battery was dead and the starter was shot, so I fixed those too. Days later I proudly handed the woman her keys saying. "Now your car is good for many more miles." "Thanks," she said. "All I care is that it runs long enough to make it to the dealer. I'm trading it in tomorrow."
The Talk
Before my daughter went on her first date, I gave her "the talk." "Sometimes, it's easy to get carried away when you are with a boy," I said. "Remember, a short moment of indiscretion could ruin your life." "Don't worry, Daddy" she said. "I don't plan on ruining my life until I get married."

OBITUARIES Kay Willis
MANTI/HENRIVILLE - Kay Marvin Willis, beloved husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend, passed away quietly at his home on Sunday. He was 86. Kay was born March 10, 1929 in Henrieville, Utah to Sears Merrill and Julia Fern McBride Willis. He graduated from Bryce Valley High School in 1948. Kay married Maggie Dutton on Jan. 19, 1949 in the St. George Temple. Together they raised seven children. Maggie died on Feb. 9, 2001. Kay married Cathy Collyer on Dec. 11, 2003 in Richfield. Their marriage was solemnized in the Manti Temple in February 2007. Throughout his life Kay was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where he served as stake young men president, counselor in three bishoprics, elders quorum president, high priests group leader, and ordinance worker in the St. George Temple. He and Cathy especially loved serving together as ordinance workers in the Manti Temple. Kay enjoyed the outdoors—hiking, hunting, and fishing. He was a great storyteller with a penchant for writing poetry and taking pictures. He loved to laugh at funny movies. He collected many things and valued the impressions he received while studying his scriptures. He will be remembered as one who loved spending time with his family and grandchildren. Kay is survived by his wife, Cathy, Manti; children: Linda (Dale) Larson, Cannonville, Utah; Merrill (Karen) Willis, Chubbuck, Idaho; Russell (Sandra), Chubbuck; Loren (Peggy) Willis, Las Vegas, Nev.; Julie (Clark) Spendlove, Las Vegas; Beverly Syrett (Jay) Marshall, Price; Mechel Page, Panguitch; Jim (Marcy) Savage, Lynnwood, Wa.; Shauna (Michael) O’Connor, Bothell, Wa.; 37 grandchildren; and 80 great-grandchildren.

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Who needs April showers when May is giving the moisture that we badly need. How about those snow flakes that we had on Friday, it was too bad it was so warm that it all melted in a short period of time. Hopefully the showers will continue for some time, we can surely use it. Those hardy souls that went up to the State track meet in Provo got drowned, with the rain going on all day long. Most of the storm was in the north of the State. The City has come by and read the water meters, but with the showers that we are getting there isn’t a real need to water your lawn. When the City turns in the ditch water I will let you know, in the mean time make sure your water valves are closed. Tonight is the PHS Graduation; this is a very bright class 2015. For the first time since we have been here there will be 3 Valedictorians, Darri Frandsen, Cantania Holman and Brenna Mooney. These girls are also Athletic Scholars, making 11 Academic All State teams between them. Darri and Cantania and Breanna were on the Cross Country team, Volleyball team, State Track and Darri and Cantania on the Basketball team. Many in this class were in the drama club and really entertained us for four years, with many of the leads that were done by the dynamic duo Slatter Mathews and Josiah Sarles. Who will ever forget Satter’s Elvis impression as a freshman? Memorial Day is Monday and it is really early this year. It is a day that we honor all that have come before us. We have been able to put up 90 new crosses on the veterans graves so far this year. If I have missed any please give me a call at (676-2418) and I will get one out quickly, it will really help if you can give the location. The new crosses are designed
to go on the concert base of the head stone. This has been done so that those cutting the lawn will have a clear path to trim around the head stone. The crosses serve two purposes, one to honor the Veteran who bravely served our country and to make the placing of the flags on Memorial Day easier. When I joined the American Legion, the members would go out with maps of the Veterans graves and place the flag on them. It took about ten men and women six or seven hours to find all of them. With the crosses it takes 4 or 5 volunteers less than an hour to place them. One thing that more and more people are doing is putting flowers in the crosses, this makes it hard to locate them and then the flowers have to be disposed of, making for a lot of extra work. Go to H&R, I am sure that they will have flowers that you can buy. I am replacing the crosses thirty at a time and it will take some time before they all will be done. The problem is that with some of the really old grave sites, the concrete bases have deteriorated and won’t hold the new crosses and the old ones will have to remain. This Saturday is the Giant Garage Sale on Main Street. Get out your valuable stuff that has been sitting in the closet for five years and sell it to some person that would love to have them. Come early to get the real good stuff. Last week the Panguitch Lions Club and the PHS FCCLA club did their semi annual highway trash clean up. They always do a splendid
job on these clean ups, it is a shame that people don’t have a better regard for our roadways. It is not only people passing through, the locals are just as guilty. If you have any doubts about that go down the river lane and see all of the trash along the way, lots of beer cans. Joe Orman from the Lions Club, rides his four wheeler from Hatch on a back road, to deliver meals on wheels at the Senior Center and most often will pickup a big bag of beer cans along the way. Foys Country Kitchen is open again and it is now the Kenny Rae Restaurant. The Millers had a grand opening last Friday and they had a real big turn out. Good food and service were the comments from those that were there. Monday’s crowd was so big that they ran out of food. On opening night Dr. Mitch Miller was there to greet the customers and thank them for coming. The Miller’s, Mitch and his wife Ashlee and son Jaron
put a ton of long hours redecorating the building and it came out beautiful. Any of these construction companies in town, Ashlee is an unbelievable strong worker, she picked up those 50# floor tiles like they are feather pillows. In two weeks it will be Quilt Walk Festival time. It is the start of the summer around here and many, many volunteers take part in this annual ritual. This year as usual the Chocolate Fest will start off the action on Wednesday night, however it won’t be held at the old high school this year, but will be at the old high swimming pool area room. Santa is urging all you expert chocolate makers to get busy; she can sure use your help. Chocolate lovers get ready for the best candy treat anywhere. The power went out last night and I have to go to work so this is it for the week When life stinks, open a window. Mack O.

Frankie, Gayle, Ryan, and Wade Moore also went up to Payson to go through the Temple Open House before it is dedicated. Gary and Sandy Johnson, Dale and Janece Pollock and family, also went on the tour another day and enjoyed it. The Henrieville Scout Troop are doing a Memorial Day Flag Ceremony at the Cemetery at 7:00 A.M. Afterwards they will be cooking a breakfast for all the town folk at 8:00 to 9:00 A.M. to help them earn some money for Scout Camp. Everyone is welcome. I still think the seasons are trying to change places. After all it has been cold the last few days with rain and even snow in some areas. While back a couple of months we had temperatures in the 70's and 80's. The rain has been good for our water situation but does it have to be cold at the same time. Well I guess we will take what we can get to keep our water levels up. Have a safe week and please call or email your news. Thanks VS

Gary George was born and raised in Ferron, Utah where his family farmed and ranched. He got his first horse at the age of 8 when he was allowed to pick a mustang yearling out of a bunch that had been caught in the area called “The Cinders”---the black rock area north of Milford. He picked a little blue roan filly that he rode and kept until she was almost 40 years
tinued to work other jobs in the off-season, Gary often returning to Ferron and the Cattlemen's Association and Pat working in and around Torrey, but ending up by 1986 as a dental hygienist in Bicknell at the Tooth Ranch. Pat says they were good to work for and “it was a good balance. It kept me sane.” By 1996 the river running business was becoming in-

Gary, Pat & John Judd, a saddlemaker from Castledale, Utah. old. He said she was little, but could out-walk any horse in the country. Pat Kearney was born in Connecticut but moved around a lot growing up. She had a love of horses, always wanted one, and took every opportunity to ride other people's horses, but never had one of her own. Pat & Gary met at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City in the early '70's. After graduating from college and getting married, they moved back to Ferron where, besides Gary's family connections, they had a friend who owned an outfit called Castle Country Expeditions. In 1975, the friend was wanting to sell out, so with just four horses, Pat and Gary bought him out, incorporated under the name of “Hondoo Rivers and Trails” and started the business that would become one of the premier outfitters of the Colorado Plateau. “Hondoo” is the Anglicized spelling for the Spanish word for the little loop at the end of a lariat. “The Hondoo Country” is also what a very remote area at the south end of the San Rafael Swell is called. Gary said they “wanted a nononsense name, but also one that would make people wonder.” Much of their early business was in river rafting. They ran trips on the Colorado, the San Juan and the Green Rivers and they had plenty of friends who could help out with guiding. But still, things were pretty hard-scrabble. With a contract to pay off, both Pat and Gary worked at other jobs sometimes during, and always after, the tourist season. Gary hired out as “herder” for the Ferron Cattlemen's Association, going up in the mountains the first part of June and not coming back 'til the cows were brought down in the Fall. He would then put his entire paycheck toward paying off their contract. In the Winter of 1977 they were offered the job of caretakers for the Rim Rock Motel in Torrey so they moved down and started guiding tourists around the area. At first they were taking hikers into the back country with pack stock, but that eventually transitioned into having the guests ride. From the very beginning they had permits from the BLM, the Forrest Service and the National Park Service so they could range far and wide around Wayne & Garfield Counties. Ken Sleight of Moab hired them to run trips down in Coyote Gulch and Dark Canyon as well as over on the Bear's Ears and around Natural Bridges. One year Ken offered them his mules in lieu of actual pay. They accepted and their herd and their business kept growing. To keep afloat, both con-
creasingly cut-and-dry as more people got into it and regulations moved to handle the influx. So they sold their river permits to Outward Bound and concentrated on land tours. Some years before this, Lurt Knee of the Sleeping Rainbow Ranch had retired, enabling them to acquire his original jeep tour permits, adding those to their growing repertoire of available services. From early on, their focus has been on package trips. Thirty and forty years ago

They no longer use pack animals to carry in supplies for their guests. Everything is hauled to campsites via 4-wheel drive truck. “The American public demands a certain level of comfort and luxury now. They want comfortable tents and cots, tables, chairs, lanterns and showers, not to mention really good food and drink.” The truck also carries in feed for the horses, and last but not least is the safety factor. Since Hondoo always keeps a vehicle close by, they are prepared to evacuate someone should an emergency arise. Asked about memorable trips, Pat immediately said “The Trip From Hell.” It was a charter trip in the San Rafael Swell with a group who claimed to be good riders and horsemen. They were friends from youth who were then in their fifties and whose early connection had been the Belmont Race Track in Maryland. All professional people now, they stayed drunk for five days and “just busted our chops at every turn.” They liked to get together every couple years or so and once out on the trip, bragged about how many outfitters had black-balled them. They were verbally abusive and inconsiderate to both horses and Pat's people, so needless to say, they are blackballed in Torrey now too. Discretion prevents the naming

Year designation from Outdoor Utah and in 2010 were named by True West Magazine as “Best of the West” for “Best Horse Trail Ride Out West.” Their service has been especially praised for its educational value and professionalism by some of the very best in the business. These days Gary stays mostly in Ferron, growing hay on his family land and raising colts for the business. Due to injuries, he doesn't ride any more, but sometimes when he's in Torrey he drives the camp truck or takes tourists out on Jeep tours. Pat continues to go on every horse trip, doing all the wrangling herself because, she says “I'm a control freak.” She no longer does the heavy lifting herself, however, but hires some strong younger person for that, as well as a camp cook. Asked what her favorite ride, if she had one, was, Pat said the San Rafael Wild Horse Ride that they do first thing in the Spring and last thing in the Fall. She says “I love the country. The rides are always different and because they were some of my very first riding experiences when we were helping Emery County people

Pat and a bunch of her horses. there weren't enough tourists to make little day-trip horseback rides sufficiently profitable, so they concentrated on creating complete packages. Pat says “Our trips are destination trips. This is their vacation.” They will occasionally take out half-day riders, if the horses and guide are available, but Pat is adamant about not doing the type of hour-long ride that is common in other areas. “I wouldn't do that to my horses, and anyway we really never wanted to do that kind of thing.” Gary wanted to show people some of the fantastic and remote parts of the country and educate them about the geologic history revealed in the canyons that he was so familiar with. The horses they employ on the rides are mostly Quarter Horses and Quarter-Thoroughbred crosses and they are also, for the most part, horses that Pat and Gary have raised and trained themselves. They've used different studs on their mares with varying results in the colts. Some of the Thoroughbreds have made babies that are too “hot” for a dude string, but the idea has been to breed up for size to accommodate the increasing size of the riders. They are seeing other outfitters starting to cross with Draft-type horses for the same reason. The horses that end up on the string are at least five years old before they're allowed to carry a dude. Sometimes one of the guides will ride it when it's younger, but Pat feels it's important for the horse to have a level of mental and physical maturity before someone less knowledgeable rides it.

of these folks and fortunately very few horse people are as sorry as these. On a far more positive note, Hondoo has outfitted PBS' “Time Team America” and been featured on “Equitrekking, Utah” part of the Emmy Award-winning PBS Equitrekking series. They have had excellent reviews and features in nationally recognized venues such as the New York Times, National Geographic Explorer, Sunset and Time Magazines and Western Horseman. They have received a Guide of the
gather cattle out there.” So for a woman who grew up always wanting a horse, saving her baby-sitting money so she could rent a horse for an hour, to one who has been riding now for 40 years for a living and for the pure pleasure of it, hers is quite an extraordinary story. She gives credit to Gary for getting her to do things she never thought she could do and showing her country she could only have dreamed of. In the end, she said “We stayed in it through thick and thin because it's a labor of love.”

Page 10 Practical Money Matters
A First-Year Money Management Guide for the New College Grad by Jason Alderman
A young adult's first months out of college are about personal freedom and finding one's path as an adult. Building solid money habits is a big part of that. Most grads are managing money alone for the first time – finding work, places to live and if they're in the majority, figuring out how to pay off college loans. For many, these are daunting challenges. If you are a young adult – or know one – here are some of the best routines to adopt from the start: Budgeting (http://www. practicalmoneyskills.com/ budgeting/) is the first important step in financial planning because it is difficult to make effective financial decisions without knowing where every dollar is actually going. It's a three-part exercise – tracking spending, analyzing where that money has gone and finding ways to direct that spending more effectively toward saving, investing and extinguishing debt. Even if a new grad is looking for work or waiting to find a job, budgeting is a lifetime process that should start immediately. A graduate's first savings goal should be an emergency fund to cover everyday expenses such as the loss of a job or a major repair. The ultimate purpose of an emergency fund (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/emergencycalc) is to avoid additional debt or draining savings or investments. Emergency funds should cover at least four to seven months of living expenses. Retirement may seem a distant spot on the horizon after graduation, but success depends on saving and investing as soon as possible. New
grads can benefit from the IRS's Withholding Calculator (http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/IRS-Withholding-Calculator) to determine the right amount of tax is being withheld from weekly paychecks. From there, he or she can evaluate personal retirement savings options and employer's plans as well – both will be necessary to retire effectively. Signing up for automatic deposits into retirement accounts and personal savings allows money to grow without the temptation of spending it first. Insurance is crucial. Renter's insurance is important not only to cover personal belongings that are lost, stolen or damaged, but most policies cover living expenses in an emergency and offer liability and medical coverage if someone gets hurt at one's apartment. Auto insurance is the law in many states, and even though disability coverage may be available at work, it is important to determine whether additional individual coverage should be purchased. Finally, the Affordable Care Act has made health coverage a must for young adults. New graduates may stay on a parent's plan until the age of 26 even if they have the option for health coverage at work. After age 26, health insurance can be bought privately or through federal and state
exchanges. Young adults should get into the habit of tracking their credit reports from the beginning. By law, everyone has the right to receive all three of their credit reports for free (https://www.annualcreditreport.com) each year, and it is important to stagger requests from the three credit bureaus – Experian, Equifax and TransUnion – to better check for inaccuracies and potential identity theft. Finally, for those still having trouble making ends meet, moving home for a limited time period could be an option. New grads should negotiate an affordable rent on a fixed timetable and use those savings to create investment accounts that can pay for major goals like a home, a wedding or graduate school. If you're working with a financial advisor already, ask them to weigh in with additional ideas. Bottom line: The first year out of college, young adults encounter a range of financial challenges that will shape their money behavior for a lifetime. Embracing budgeting, saving and investing is crucial even with the smallest of amount of resources. Jason Alderman directs Visa's financial education programs.
