Escalante Earns Designation on National Register of Historic Places

ESCALANTE - What is it that makes a Utah town look different from other towns in the West? Compared to, say, a town of similar age and size in Colorado, or in Nevada, or in Arizona?

Simply put: its history.

As virtually all of us—and even first-time visitors—are likely to know, the towns in our region were settled by the

Mormon Pioneers. There are notable characteristics to these pioneer settlements: the wide streets, the large-size town lots that still often include a large garden and orchard, cows and horses and sheep in the mix, “backhouses” and old wood barns, and a blend of Colonial, Victorian, Arts and Crafts, Federal Style and other eclectic architectural styles among the

early-settlement homes, many of which include charming finish brick work and exterior wood work.

While many towns still have at least a handful of these pioneer gems, in some towns, a good number of historic homes, barns, and back houses National Register cont’d on page 2

Escalante Heritage Festival to Celebrate Pioneer History

by Jerry Roundy

ESCALANTE - On May 25 the annual Escalante Heritage Festival will held in Escalante. The day’s events will begin at the Escalante-Boulder Veterans’ Memorial at 8:00 a.m. for a re-enactment of the first Fourth of July celebration by the pioneers after they entered the Valley in March of 1876. Wanting a flag to fly over their festivities, an American Flag couldn’t be found, but a Union Jack was offered by one of the pioneers who had migrated from England.

Since it was the Centennial anniversary of the Declaration of Independence from England, no one wanted an English flag flying over their celebration.

Finally an Indian Blanket with the colors red, black and grey was run up the pole and served as the flag for the day. By the time they celebrated the 24th of July, a flag had been made

by Mary Ann Schow. This reenactment is an annual event.

There will also be a program by the Escalante American Legion Post 114 to honor three indi-

BICKNELL - Have you always dreamed of a small business producing and selling your fantastic secret family recipe, but don’t know how to get started? Or do you have a plan, but need access to a commercial kitchen to realize your dreams?

All of you great home chefs have a unique opportunity on May 31 to get a jump start toward your food-based business by attending the FOOD Workshop offered by the USU Extension Service. And Wayne County residents can find out at this workshop how to use the Bicknell Community Center kitchen, made available as part of a business incubator program.

Home production of “cottage” food items is possible under special health and food regulations. Only safe-to-prepare recipes gain approval and must be produced in an approved home kitchen. Additional products can be approved if produced in a certified commercial kitchen.

Karin Allen, head of the USU Extension Service cottage kitchen program, will bring a full-day workshop to the Bicknell Community Center on May 31. The program covers how to get recipes approved, food safety, packaging,

regulations, insurance, marketing and business basics. The cost is $40 and includes lunch.

Michelle Coleman, County Economic Development Officer, will be on hand to discuss how to gain access to the incubator kitchen and the process for getting a new business license as a cottage food producer.

Coleman was instrumental in getting the Bicknell Community Center set up as an incubator kitchen after attending a Utah’s Own conference session on cottage food production.

“Utah’s Own was talking how people get their start in developing and selling a product that they love and believe they could sell. Immediately I thought about my neighbor that makes a great spaghetti sauce and had encouraged her about getting her sauce on the market through Utah’s Own,which is also associated with Associated Foods of which our own Royal’s FoodTown Market is associated with. This means, that if done correctly, the producer could distribute their goods through our very own market by going through Utah’s Own. “How was this going to happen?” Coleman continued, “if a person didn’t have a large enough kitchen and also be State Certified to see if their

product was even going to be able to get off of the ground?

My cogs started to cranking and lead me to visiting with our County Commissioners, who gave their blessing to use our new beautiful State Certified kitchen at the Wayne Community Center in Bicknell as an incubator in 2009.”

Lorelei Anderson, representing the Wayne County Farmers’ Market, will also be on hand to provide information on how to become a participating vendor.

More information about the cottage food programs are on the USU website at http:// extension.usu.edu/foodbiz/.

From the Publisher's Desk School is out this week and for this year’s crop of high school seniors this also means the real-life fulfillment of that fantastic word: graduation. Even those of us who are old can recall that giddy, pinch-yourself feeling of what it is like to finally graduate from high school. Congratulations to all of you Wayne County High, Panguitch High, Escalante High and Bryce Valley High seniors who are now making your way into the world on your own terms. If I can give all of you one bit of unasked-for advice (since 18-year olds are almost never in search of advice), my two cents to you is: go forth, boldly. There are definitely things in this world that you are perfectly cut out to do, and now is the time to explore and open yourself to as much life-experience as you possibly can, because there will be few times in your life where you will have so much opportunity before you.

So whether it is through continuing your education, training, service, or travel, and even (if not especially) when you’re unsure of yourself, take a big step, and then another one. You’ll be glad you did.

I’d like to thank all of our student columnists of this past year, particularly Lauren Jackson, who diligently covered Wayne Sports for the newspaper every week for the entire year; and also McKenna Finch who arrived with a column in the latter part of this semester to fill us in on Panguitch High news. Also, to Erin Hayden at Bryce Valley High, Crystal Mortensen on BV sports, and Maren Stewart at Bryce Valley Elementary who have made regular contributions to the paper. Student voices are important in our community and I hope we have a new crop of enthusiastic writers next year—students, if you think you might want to run a column, and teachers if you think there’s a bright person in your class who might benefit from expressing themselves on paper, there is space available here for you.

I’d also like to especially thank Lisa Stevens for her great Loa Elementary Snippets column and fantastic sports pictures.

I am crossing my fingers, Lisa, that you will have the energy for more next school year. And also thanks to Mack Oetting for his enthusiastic coverage of Panguitch High sports. And finally, thanks are also due to the heart of our paper, our regular town columnists, once again Mack (who does double duty on sports and Panguitch News), and Adus Dorsey, Marlene Haws and Vicki Syrett for covering each of their communities in their own unique way. It is humbling every week as each of their columns pops into the newspaper’s in-box, often in the middle of a Sunday night, and often under the duress of other events happening in their lives. These are folks who care about the people in their communities and we are lucky to have them. If there are any other budding columnists who feel you might like to serve as a hub of news and public relations for your town, it would be great to hear new voices from Hatch, Antimony, Boulder, Hanksville, Bicknell, Loa… or any of the places in between. The door is open.

As of this week I will have been publishing this newspaper for a full year—52 weeks of weekly deadlines. Sometimes I’m not sure how Ryan did this for 17 years. But it is an honor to pick up the mantle and serve the community in this way. I hope we can grow it over time and make it better for everyone.

house.” Noted historian, Edward A. Geary, says backhouses are not unique to Escalante, but Escalante probably has more backhouses than any other town in Utah. At one time barns were on nearly every lot in town and are an intregal part of he history of Escalante.

At 11:00 a.m. there will be a power point by Gary Long on the Handcarts that crossed the plains in 1856. Garry Long is from Cheyenne, Wyoming. and has done extensive research on the Willie-Martin Handcart Company. He published a book on the Willie Company in 2011.

At 1:00 p.m. there will be a power-point presentation by Larry Barnes on Escalante architecture. Larry is an authority on architecture and has done an extensive study on the early forms of architecture found in other early Mormon settlements. Much of it mirrors historic Nauvoo that was founded

by Mormons.

At 3:00 p.m. Cheryl Roundy Cox will do a powerpoint presentation on “Old Roads that joined Escalante and Boulder.” Today, when we

drive beautiful Highway 12 through Calf Creek to Boulder we don’t think how difficult it would have been to cut a wagon road or trail through the rough sandrock. Come and see pictures of some of the old roads.

The evening show at 7:00 p.m. this year will be a little different than the plays that have previously been presented. This year it will be entitled, “The Family Album”, and is and original production comprised of personal stories of early settlers from Escalante, Boulder and Panguitch, compiled by Quinn Griffin, Clive Romney, Jerry Roundy, and LaRue Lyman Wentworth.

The production is directed

by Quinn Griffin and is performed by community members, with special guest Clive Romney, musician/songwriter.

A $5.00 donation is requested for this production. It can be paid at the door.

The Escalante Heritage Center Cabin/Visitor Center will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.. A video about the Hole-in-the-Rock Expedition may be viewed upon request.

Local residents who haven’t seen the Center are especially encouraged to visit.

Avoid Drowsy Driving

ST. GEORGE, UT - High school graduation is right around the corner, and while many teenagers are anticipating the end of school with excitement, one family is reminded of a tragic accident which struck this time last year .

During the morning hours of May 23rd, 2012, Donald Padilla was on his way to work in Washington City. Traveling the other direction were two high school seniors on their way home from celebrating the end of school at an all-night activity. The teen driver fell asleep at the wheel, crossed over four lanes of traffic and hit Donald head-on. After being flown to the University Medical Center in Las Vegas, Donald passed away that evening from the injuries sustained in the accident.

His wife Becky shared this story to warn people of the dangers of drowsy driving.

Each year around 1,000 crashes are caused by drowsy driving in Utah, resulting in 23 deaths. According to the Utah Highway Safety Office (UHSO), being awake for 24 hours is equivalent to a blood alcohol level of .10, which is considered legally drunk. The highest number of drowsy driving crashes occur during the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. Many latenight celebrations and events are held this time of year, and it is Becky Padilla’s desire to warn teens and adults to be aware of the signs of drowsy driving and to get off the road before an accident happens.

Signs of Drowsy Driving according to the UHSO: ● Difficulty focusing, frequent blinking or heavy eyelids ● Daydreaming or wandering thoughts

●Trouble remembering the last few miles driven ● Yawning repeatedly or rubbing your eyes ● Trouble keeping your head up ● Drifting from your lane, tailgating, or hitting a shoulder rumble-strip ● Feeling restless and irritable What you can do if you are experiencing these signs: ● Pull over and take a nap ● Pull over and call someone to pick you up ● Stop and get out and move around ● Stop and switch drivers if others are in the car “While losing my husband was heartbreaking, I am fortunate to say that in my life with Donald, I had no regrets, other than he was taken from us too soon,” says Becky. “Now I’m asking for help in spreading the word against drowsy driving. I hope teens, parents, and schools will take action to avoid what my family experienced.”

The Southwest Utah Public Health Department is offering the new Drivers Ed Parent Program to all area high schools (Washington, Iron, Beaver, Kane, & Garfield counties).

This powerful presentation helps teens and their parents understand the realities and responsibilities that come with driving. Dangerous behaviors such as impaired, aggressive, distracted, and drowsy driving are discussed as well as the importance of buckling up. To find out more about getting the Drivers Ed Parent Program into your local high school for summer or fall drivers ed classes, contact Cambree Johnson at cjohnson@ swuhealth.org or 435-865-5151.

have been relatively well preserved. Recently, some observant residents in Escalante took note of the town’s many stillstanding examples of pioneer and early-settlement structures.

Following a few years of survey work, careful documentation and a lengthy application process, the town of Escalante earned designation on the National Register of Historic Places on March 27th.

Escalante resident Harriet Priska says the process started in 2009, when she was updating the town’s Historic Homes Guide on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce. “It was just a superficial survey at first, with Lillian Lyman telling me how long buildings had been there,” she says. Priska was aware that Panguitch had recently applied for and received an Historic District designation. If around 50% of the structures are more than 50 years old, that’s a baseline for historic designation. “It looked like close to 50% of our whole town was in this category, which is really amazing in this day and age,” she says.

Of the 289 structural “resources” in the district, 124, or 43 percent, contribute to the historic designation.

“A historic district has to verify itself. It has to show, ‘I am what I say I am’,” says Priska.

Cory Jensen, architectural survey coordinator for the Utah State Historic Preservation Office in Salt Lake City, helped complete and process the application. Jensen points to a number of unique aspects of Escalante’s historic district designation. “There are about 50 historic districts in the state of Utah, but there are only four or five where most of the city limits are included,” he says.

In the case of Escalante, the entire main section of town, running from 3rd North to 3rd South, and 3rd East to 3rd West, met the criteria and received Historic District status.

Jensen notes that Escalante has more “backhouses” than any other town in Utah, and Escalante’s unique architectural development was highlighted in the nomination as the focus of the district’s significance.

Early structures, while quite representative of the prevailing types of the period in general, were about a decade “behind the times,” reflecting the town’s remoteness.

Escalante was settled in phases, with the first permanent settlers arriving in 1876, and the architecture of the district

clearly displays the various periods of local development.

Initial dwellings were literally dugouts, but even during the first year of settlement lumber was being produced by local sawmills and wood houses became the norm, which is not typical of other Utah settlements of that period. Later, during a construction boom from 1890-1920, locally fired brick and stone were commonly used, and were used to build homes generally reflected the Federal Style, Colonial Revival, Victorian and Queen Anne styles popular during that period.

A listing on the National Register is intended to encourage preservation as well as provide recognition of the area’s significance. Both Jensen and Priska are quick to point out that designation puts no restrictions on what owners can do with their property. “You can paint your house with purple polka dots or tear it down or turn it upside down—there are no stipulations,” says Priska.

Jensen adds that all that would happen is that if the historic nature of a number of the properties changes significantly, that the district would be re-evaluated, and the town’s designation could change.

Jensen says that most towns use historic district status as a means for economic redevelopment. “Some towns do provide guidelines for characteristics in historic districts, and use this as a way to encourage an appreciation of history, and to take care of it,” he says.

But the biggest financial incentive is that owners of buildings that are considered as “contributing” to the historic designation may apply for tax credits for working on the building.

Also, historic markers can be placed to educate people about the history, as a way of taking pride in the community.

“Now, Escalante has not just the natural landscape but the historic landscape that is officially designated. The city can really use this as an opportunity to promote themselves, and to promote their history,” says Jensen.

At this Saturday’s Escalante Heritage Festival, the Utah Humanities Council is sponsoring a presentation given by Escalante resident Larry Barnes on Escalante Architecture, (at 1:00pm), and local historian Jerry Roundy will give a talk on the Barns and Backhouses of Escalante (at 10:00am). Talks will take place at Escalante High School.

BLM Richfield Prepares the Normal Year Fire Stabilization and Rehabilitation Plan for the Next Decade

Hole in the Rock Area Recreation Study, Round Two

Hole-in-the-Rock Road, looking south.

GRAND STAIRCASEESCALANTE NATIONAL MONUMENT - The public is invited once again to join the conversation about recreation management and the places accessed via Hole in the Rock Road that are considered special during the second of three rounds of focus groups hosted

by Colorado Mesa University’s Natural Resource Center and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument May 31 and June 1 in Escalante and Boulder.

The sessions are the first phase of the GSENM Recreation Experience Baseline Study being conducted by CMU to help the BLM better respond to the public’s desires and expectations for how recreation on the Monument is managed. The study seeks to engage local leaders, business owners, residents, and visitors that either participate in recreational activities in this area of the Monument or have a stake in the quality of the experience of those that do.

The idea behind the focus groups is to open dialogue be-

tween GSENM and the public on recreation issues, to provide information for future planning efforts and project assessments, and to gather data needed to better understand the public’s desired outcomes for recreation management in the Hole in the Rock Road area.

The focus groups will be facilitated by Dr. Tim Casey, Professor of Political Science at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction, Colorado.

Dr. Casey is a lead researcher and field coordinator at NRC and has extensive experience working with BLM on similar social science projects on the Colorado Plateau. He has been responsible for facilitation of public meetings and focus groups regarding public lands since 2006.

Each focus group session will last approximately 90 minutes and is limited to 25 people. The schedule, times, locations, and target participants are noted below: Should these dates not be convenient for those interested in participating, other options

are available. The last round of locally hosted focus group sessions are slated for late September to coincide with the Escalante Canyons Art Festival. And, facilitated webbased sessions will also be utilized as part of the study. In these web sessions, slated for July and August, participants from far and wide can join the conversation from the comfort of their homes using a phone and computer.

This first phase of the study has been funded by a National Landscape Conservation System Science Grant and Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act fees. If funding allows, additional areas of the Monument will be studied in subsequent years.

For more information about this project and to RSVP to guarantee a spot in one of the sessions, please contact Allysia Angus, GSENM Landscape Architect/Land Use Planner at 435-826-5615 or aangus@blm.gov.

RICHFIELD - The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Fire Management Division for the Richfield Field Office and Henry Mountain Field Station, announces public scoping for the update of the Normal Year Fire Stabilization and Rehabilitation Plan (NYFSRP). The plan summarizes potential post-fire management actions on BLMmanaged lands throughout the Field Office area. The purpose of the public scoping process is to determine relevant issues that will influence the environmental analysis.

During a “normal fire year” an average of 28 wildfires occurs within the 2.1 million acres of public land managed by the Field Office, resulting in 6,000 to 8,000 acres each year of disturbed and potentially damaged land.

Having an NYFSRP in place when fires occur can streamline the Emergency Stabilization and Rehabilitation (ESR) process and enable timely onthe-ground treatments consistent with the urgent nature of post-fire stabilization and rehabilitation.

The NYFSRP is developed for landscape level treatments and authorizes ESR actions that may be implemented after a wildland fire.

The current Richfield Field Office NYFSRP has been invaluable and used to implement several individual ESR treatments following wildland fires. However, it has been determined that an update to the NYFSRP is needed to address recent changes in national, state, and local guidelines and policy.

Leah McGinnis Named New Capitol Reef N.P. Superintendent DENVER – Leah McGinnis, a 23-year veteran of the National Park Service (NPS), has been named superintendent of Capitol Reef National Park in Utah. McGinnis is currently the chief of staff at Grand Canyon National Park. She reports for duty at Capitol Reef on June 16, replacing Al Hendricks, who retired in 2012.

“Leah has the ability to formulate and execute effective strategies that will help guide Capitol Reef into the next century,” said John Wessels, Intermountain Region Director for the NPS. “Her diverse background in partnership building, employee safety, workforce management, and leadership makes her the ideal person for this position.”

McGinnis recently served as the interim deputy superintendent at Grand Canyon for a four-month period. She is currently serving as the interim superintendent at the Flagstaff, AZ area national monuments, which includes Sunset Crater Volcano, Walnut Canyon and Wupatki National Monuments. McGinnis also served as interim superintendent at Tonto National Monument in Arizona, and as interim deputy superintendent at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in Arizona and Utah.

McGinnis arrived at Grand Canyon in 2000 as the fee program manager, and rapidly advanced to other leadership positions in the park including management assistant to the superintendent, chief of partnerships and employee programs. Her role in these positions accommodated a myriad of responsibilities including public affairs, partnership building, employee safety, workforce diversity, leadership development, and the park’s Piano Guys

cont’d from page 1

ano Guys last year, just before they really began to gain more widespread recognition on national television talk shows, and before they did their PBS special. “The Piano Guys” make their videos in wonderful scenic locations but had always footed the production costs themselves,” says Wade. “We approached them with an offer to assist with location scouting and productions costs, with the caveat that they tag the end of their video in a way that would encourage people to learn more about the location, and it has worked wonderfully.”

Bruce Fullmer, director of the Garfield County Tourism Office, coordinated the effort to acquire film permits from the Dixie National Forest and Bryce Canyon National Park.

Location production of the video began long before sunrise on a crisp October morning in 2012. The Piano Guys rolled a grand piano on a four-wheel dolly, along a narrow pathway, to the edge of a long precipice on the rim of Bryce Canyon.

Cell phones were used to illuminate the pathway, which had a drop-off on the right side of approximately 200 feet. Legs

volunteer program. In 2012, McGinnis was appointed as the park’s chief of staff, overseeing a multitude of critical challenges facing Grand Canyon.

McGinnis joined the NPS in 1988 at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, where she worked in the communications center. In 1993, McGinnis accepted a position at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area as the dispatch supervisor.

She later initiated the park’s fee collection procedures, pursuant with the NPS’s Fee Demonstration Program.

“Capitol Reef National Park is an amazing resource with a rare beauty and I am honored to have been selected as Superintendent,” said McGinnis. “I am excited about the opportunity to work with park staff and collaborate with local communities, park partners, and state and federal entities on the many challenges we all face.”

McGinnis is a native of Montana. She graduated from Montana State University in 1993, where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in business management. She is married to Mike McGinnis who currently serves as the deputy chief ranger at Grand Canyon National Park. They have one adult son, Justin.

—N.P.S were installed on the piano and it was used for multiple performance runs in the early morning and late evening. By necessity, during mid-day, the grand piano was left sitting alone on the canyon rim while another piano was used for other locations in the forest.

Fullmer says park rangers received many concerned calls about a piano sitting on the edge of a cliff that, they claimed, was about ready to fall off. Other reports came in from visitors who said they could hear beautiful music all across the main amphitheater and wondering where the music was coming from.

“Bryce Canyon National Park and Dixie National Forest officials were extremely pleased with the project,” says Fullmer.

“The music style of the Piano Guys fits perfectly with the natural scenery of the region, and the sounds seemed to enhance the experience for those who were lucky enough to watch production on location.”

The soundtrack for the video is a combination of David Guetta’s ‘Titanium’ with a mix of Gabriel Faure’s ‘Pavane’.

The actual music video, along with a behind-the-scenes video are both found at BryceCanyonCountry.com.

103 94 62 ½ 57 56

The Boys victory was because of a brilliant coaching job by Coach Norris. He placed each boy in an event that he could score in. They only had one first place and one second place finish. That was in the high jump by Dalan Bennett and Tyce Barney.

This was a truly team effort, as the team scored in all but two events.

The Girls team has some real super runners and jumpers on the team that took many first places. With only 2 seniors on the team the Lady Cats are going to set the bar that much higher for the rest of the teams in the State for years to come.

Results: 1600 M. Girls: Whittni Orton 1st, Catania Holman 2nd Mckayla Heaton 4th.

Conclusion of th 2013 Year: Girl’s Track and Field Brings Home Second Place Trophy The 2012-2013 year of athletics has officially come to an end as of last Friday and Saturday (17th-18th) at the conclusion of the Utah state track and field event. It was the final moment for athletes to accomplish goals and state titles, break records, and show the time and effort they have put into their sport. I’m pleased to announce that the Wayne girl’s track and field team are the recipients of the second place state trophy for girl’s 1A this year. Congratulations to all athletes, individually and as a team, who excelled in their events and have proved their athleticism. Also, I’d like to congratulate Panguitch High for taking first and acknowledge their impressive abilities and talents as well.

It has truly been a remarkable year in all of 1A athletics and sports, and I feel honored to have covered them over the course of the year.

I’m impressed by the talent in our community and anticipate the great things to come from the youth that live here. Below are the individual results of the Badger athletes. It is quite an

accomplishment to medal at state, so congratulations once again, Badgers!

Also, I’d like to take a moment to thank the coaches this year that made it possible for the Badgers to take home the second place trophy. A special thanks to coach Sherry Ellett for stepping up to the plate and being an excellent coach this year. I speak for my team when I say that she did a phenomenal job at improving our abilities and helping us accomplish our goals. We love you Sherry! Also, thanks to Jordan Crane for taking splits and times and being there to motivate us through our “game plan.” Another special thanks to Sarah Ellett who coached the long-distance runners and Monique Golding who got up early ever morning to train the sprinters. They were with us every step of the way and we owe them so much! And finally thanks to Cathy Brian for helping out the throwers and also Candence Peterson for helping out the high jumpers. We couldn’t have done it without you.

Bryce Valley High School Track Meet

The Wayne High School Girl’s Track Team.

Wayne High Senior Athlete Profile: Lauren Jacksn Chances are, if you have attended a play, been to a cross-country race, track meet, or a number of other events at Wayne High School, you have seen a girl named Lauren Jackson.

Besides being a member of several Wayne High clubs and teams, Lauren is also the student body president. Her grades aren’t shabby either (she was the English/Language Arts Sterling Scholar this year).

Lauren is quick to admit she enjoys the opportunity to be involved in so many things. Rather than feeling overwhelmed, she says it has “helped make [her] a well-rounded individual.”

Whether Lauren is performing an original monologue on the stage or running laps around the track, she strives for excellence. Lauren says, “Since the time I was in elementary, a spirit of competitiveness was born in my soul.” This competitive element is apparent in everything Lauren does. Just recently, Lauren placed first in two of her four races at the Region 20 track meet and was second in the other two.

Between races, rehearsals, and her student government duties, Lauren (still) finds time to write the weekly “Wayne Sports” column for The Insider. This experience in journalism has further solidified Lauren’s love of literature and writing. As a result, she plans on studying journalism when she attends Brigham Young University this fall.

We will miss hearing from Lauren every week and seeing her at the many high school activities, but as C.S. Lewis says, in one of Lauren’s favorite quotes, “There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.”

If that is the case, Lauren has incredible things awaiting her.

Hey everyone! This school year is coming to a close, which I am very excited about. I want to thank everyone who has read my articles or given me any encouragement for them. I appreciate it. It is weird to say that this is my last article. Thanks for all your support and for reading.

This year has been a good one. This year we had a new teacher, Mr. Perkins, join the staff.

What a funny man. He’s been teaching animal science. I didn’t have him as a teacher, but he’s a really cool guy. But the staff will be changing this year. I want to say farewell to Coach. He has been teaching since I was in kindergarten. He will definitely be missed, but good luck in Duschesne, Coach! And farewell to a teacher who has forever changed the lives of his students. Thanks Mr. Suggett for all that you have done. You were an amazing teacher and you made science fun, which was always hard for me. He never gave up on his students, he had faith in everyone. Thank you so much. Your students will always stand behind you. Thanks for being a great teacher and a great influence on each and every one of us. Thanks to all the teachers as well.

State track has taken place. I do not know all the outcomes, but I heard that everyone did well. I do know that Jordan Johnson was awarded Academic Allstate. So congrats Jordan! And good job to all who participated.

Graduation is on the 22nd. I hope everyone will come. I’m excited, of course I’m graduating so obviously I’m excited. haha.

Thanks for reading and thanks for your encouragement. Goodbye! :)

BIRTHDAYS

Donna Harward to Celebrate 100th on June 1st

LOA - Donna Harward will celebrate her 100th Birthday on June 1, 2013. Donna was born June 1, 1913 in Koosharem, Utah to Edward C. and Pauline Martinsen Bagley. She grew up on the family farm with six siblings and a cousin and aunt who had been taken in to their home. She raised doggie lambs and rode horses. She attended school in Koosharem until age fifteen and then boarded with families in Richfield so she could attend high school. She graduated from Richfield High School where she was a top student. She attended Snow College where she met her future husband, Royal T Harward of Aurora, Utah.

Donna and Royal were married in 1934 and lived in Aurora for three years. Royal was a trained cheese maker and in 1937 they were sent by the Nelson Ricks Creamery Company to start the first Wayne County Cheese Plant. The plant was located in the old rock grain mill which still stands on what is now the Brink Potter Farm. They lived in a three room apartment with a single tap of cold water on the top floor of the plant. They moved into Loa town in 1942 where they later purchased and managed the business which is now known as Royal’s Market.

In the early 1950’s they purchased a farm and dairy located in the Bicknell Bottoms. They upgraded what was known as Circle Cliff Dairy where they produced and delivered Grade A milk to homes, schools, and businesses. They also produced ice cream and cottage cheese.

Donna is a gifted writer and teacher. She is a fine seamstress and quilt maker. She is an active member of the LDS Church in which she has served many leadership and teaching positions; including stake and ward Relief Society President. As a widow at age 70, she filled a full time proselyting mission to the Portland Oregon Mission. Her mission experiences are a treasure to her.

TORREY NewZ Adus Dorsey

Men of the Woods. Jerry Woolsey was a true man of the woods and to know him it was easy to see, he had a heart as big around as a tree. The first time I met Jerry Woolsey I smelled him before I saw him, it was the sweet smell of fresh saw dust and chain saw oil that wafted in the Bicknell breeze that caught my senses and made me look around. Jerry made a comment about my big beard while we both pumped gas at Howard’s, and as a newcomer one thing I knew was that if I was going to make it in this new place called Wayne County Jerry Woolsey was someone I needed to know, for sure.

Just to be in Jerry’s presence was to know and truly experience what real confidence was all about and all the while hope and pray some of it would rub off when he grabbed your hand to shake it with the driving force of a jack hammer.

It was early in the second half of the Nineteen Eighties that I first heard of the Woolsey’s. A long, honored and respected Wayne County logging name that was only spoken in hushed under the breath tones at Ellett’s and Loa Builder’s and only used in the highest of reverence like the name Abraham or Moses.

Jerry Woolsey was the type of bigger than life man every city kid east of the Rockies wanted to grow up to be like, even though they had never even heard of him. In the eyes of nearly all Wayne County first graders and a newcomer like myself Jerry Woolsey was Wayne County’s Paul Bunyan and John Jones might as well been his best friend, Babe the Blue Ox. As the story goes Paul Bunyan’s birth was somewhat unusual, as are the births of many mythic heroes, as it took five storks to carry the infant (ordinarily, one stork could carry several babies and drop them off at their parents’ homes).

When he was old enough to clap and laugh, the vibration broke every window in the house. When he was seven months old, he sawed the legs off his parents’ bed in the middle of the night. Paul and his companion Babe the Blue Ox dug the Grand Canyon when he dragged his axe behind him.

He created Mount Hood by piling rocks on top of his campfire to put it out. Babe the Blue

Adus Dorsey

Ox, Bunyan’s companion, was a massive creature with exceptional strength which fits Jerry Woolsey and John Jones friendship description to a “T”.

The overcast Bicknell day of Jerry Woolsey’s funeral was windy and blustery, not a good day to be wearing any kind of a hat. The Thurber Ward house was full to overflowing, so much so that extra seating was needed to accompany the large and grieving crowd.

As part of the funeral Prelude Amy Gleave expertly played piano tunes for about an hour. Once the flower covered wooden casket was slowly wheeled into the Thurber Ward chapel and placed directly in front of the pulpit the Woolsey family, relatives and close friends took their places in the Thurber Ward Pews and the rest of the crowd reverently stood in silence as Bishop Paul Jacobs greeted everyone as he made a motion for everyone to be seated.

With a heavy heart Daughter in-law Heidi Woolsey, wife of Scott Woolsey gave the invocation while everyone bowed their heads.

In fine fashion Jerry’s Son Wade paid tribute to his Dad with a long list of his father’s accomplishments and treasured favorite life memories that would have made Paul Bunyan and Babe the Big Blue Ox cry water falls of tears or belly laugh.

In the pure and innocence of a grandchild and as a dedication to Grand Pa Jerry, Whitney, Waylon and Sierra Woolsey, Jerry’s Grand Children proudly

performed a tug at your heart strings version of the Poem of “The Tale of the Three Trees”, http://www.inver.org/ceantar/ Learning_Circle/folkflorida. htm that immediately brought out the Kleenex and had John Torgerson consciously guarding his Jerry Woolsey funeral handkerchief.

As part of a piano solo and with the finesse and finger like perfection of Liberace Amy Gleave then played Jessica’s theme.

Jerry’s Son Scott Woolsey read a Poem by his Mother Kathy Woolsey that imaginarily took the funeral crowd on a typical Jerry Woolsey supposedly “Six Mile” horse ride on the Henry’s that in actuality was closer to an adventurous and memorable twenty.

President Paul W. Pace then rose to offer condolences to the Woolsey family and shared his own memories of Jerry Woolsey which also provided a personal insight into the life of Jerry Woolsey. President Pace through his testimony then made a solemn promise to the family that they will all be together again.

Jerry’s Daughter in-law Valerie Woolsey then offered the final Benediction.

Pallbearers Scott Woolsey, Jeremy Gagon, Ronnie Reese, Jesse Flannigan, Wade R. Woolsey, Heath Spencer, Kevin Hatch and Jerry’s good friend John Jones then loaded Jerry’s casket onto a flatbed trailer behind a Ford tractor and proceeded through Bicknell to the Cemetery in front of a long

line of cars that surely stretched a country mile.

At the historic Bicknell Cemetery the pallbearers delicately placed the wooden casket in what would be Jerry Woolsey’s final resting place and Myron Jeffs, head bowed and arm crossed dedicated the gravesite as a cool May Wayne County wind blew and everyone present silently shivered.

Like a pleasant early life memory the sweet smell of saw dust and chain saw oil often times brings back the mental images of the early days in Wayne County, the magical productive days when log trucks stacked John Jones high were a common and daily sight passing through Wayne County. The wonderful and casual winter days when you could drive from Torrey to Loa and constantly hear the sound of swiftly whirling four foot diameter saw mill blades, spiting out saw dust as happy as could be, delightfully and systematically slicing through Boulder Mountain harvested timber into useable custom ordered lumber. And the high mountain Southern Utah cool and early summer Friday nights at the Sportsman Bar that southern Utah lumber jacks the likes of Jerry Woolsey and local men of the woods and a working timber crews would sit and tell tall tales of their long sunny days and starry nights on the mountain that even today would make any western timber man slobber, the likes of stories that make petty local issues seem as insignificant as a grub worm.

Bryce Valley Area News

by Vicki D. Syrett 679-8687 or vickidiane36@hotmail.com

Well this has been a busy month. I can’t believe all the things that have been crammed into May to make it so busy. It is good to stay busy they say but I would like to be busy all in one city instead of all over the state.

How about you? Graduations, proms, track meets, Temple excursions, missionary farewells, etc., etc. Whew.

Congratulations to all the Garfield County Seniors who are graduating this week. You have done a great job and now you move onto the next phase of your life. We wish you a happy graduation and a wonderful life. The seniors from Bryce Valley are Anna Bybee, Connor Chynoweth, Chesilyn Clark, Brittney Frost, Tyler Hansen, Erin Hayden, Dawson Johnson, Jordan Johnson, Billee Jones, Lexi Le Fevre, Logan LeFevre, Tasha Leonard, Hunter Mecham, Susan Mitchell, Christa Pearson, Emily Pierson, Marilee Platt, Jacob Pollock, Makelle Pollock, Joshua Spencer, Ashlynn Syrett, Braxton Syrett, Whitni Syrett, and Zoelynn Worthington. Well done seniors!!

Marion and Catherine Littlefield have had a busy week. They had a birthday and Mother’s Day party and now it seems like it was also a “Going Away” party as well. Wally and Lynette Orton, she is the Littlefield’s daughter, are pulling up stakes and moving to Diamond Valley. We wish them good luck in their new home. It was Marion’s 70th birthday and we send our love and best wishes to him. They had all but 3 of their children and their families in attendance for this big celebration. Lynette had son Steven and his family, Austin

and Sharly Littlefield had their 2 boys there, Mitchell Littlefield brought 3 of his boys, and Brett, Tracy and Zack Chynoweth came and brought grandson Nixon. Daughter Sharlene and her daughter Britnee, Joe and Rae Hughes, (Catherine’s parents), and of course Marion and Catherine had a very special day. Congratulations to everyone.

Our granddaughter, Cambry Jensen, was part of the Canyon View Orchestra that took high rankings at the State Orchestra competition. They were awarded two 1’s and a -1. Good job Canyon View Orchestra.

On Saturday Orderville became a busy place as the women that belonged to Daughters of Utah Pioneers from Kanab and Grafield Counties came together to have their yearly convention.

It was well attended with good food and excellent talks. The Kanab unit presented a skit on the “Kanab All Women Town Council of 1912. It was based on real facts and taken from journals and diaries of past members. We congratulation Lana Christian of Escalante on being awarded a Special Recognition award for her hard work with the D.U.P. and in the town of Escalante. A 93 year old lady from Willow Camp in Kanab was awarded a Special Recognition for her efforts and longevity in the D.U.P. Traveling from Bryce Valley area was Iris Burr, Ramona Morreale, Florence Syrett, Glenna Fletcher, Janet Pollock, and myself. It was a beautiful day for being on the road. Lots of cars out and moving also.

We are so excited to see

Tanya Brothwell up and around and looking so healthy. She is a busy lady and does a lot for our area working with the school and the kids. Tanya we are so glad to see you doing so well.

Mark you calendars for the following coming events in Tropic....Aug. 6th will be the Mother-Daughter party. First Tuesday each month will see a gathering of women learning how to crochet and helping each other to work on their projects.

Welcome home to Sam Eddy who was serving his mission in the Tucson Arizona mission. He looks great and did a great job of telling us about his mission.

The young men and young women did a great job of cleaning up the highways and making our area look good for the tourists and those of us who drive by it each day. Thanks to them for keeping us cleaned up.

Congratulations to Oakley Pollock who graduated from Primary and into Young Women. Good job.

We are going to miss Eric and Tammi Jessen who are moving to Duchesne to take new jobs. Both of them have already gotten jobs, Eric as a Counselor in the High School and Tammi has a teaching position. We will really miss you and your family but we wish you well in your new town.

We also send out our prayers to Luana Riddle and her family and Jenny Le Fevre and her family.

Sandy Johnson and Janice Twitchell put together a fun evening for the 1 to 101 year old women in the Cannonville - Henrieville Wards. They held a pajama party with lots of fun.

They all wore their PJ’S and ate popcorn while watching “Johnny Lingo” and playing games. It was a blast so I was told and thanks to Sandy and Janice for putting it together.

Released as a Sunday School teacher after over fifty years of service was Lael Chynoweth. Wow Lael what a neat thing to be remembered for. Good job. Chris Mathews was released as 1st Counselor in the Henrieville Young Men and Kevin Clark was called to fill that position. Cassie Chynoweth was called as a substitute teacher in the Primary.

I send a great big thank you out to Maren Stewart and Erin Hayden for doing the school news for me this year.

You have both been awesome and I appreciate your help.

Good luck in the future Erin and Maren maybe you could help me next year. Thanks also to the teachers, coaches, and citizens that have helped me with the news. Without you we wouldn;t have a column.

Welcome “Home” to the many who come for Memorial Day and to spend time with old friend and family.

FYI Panguitch

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com The crab apple blossoms were beautiful while they lasted. That wind sure takes its toll on the blossoms in the spring and the leaves on the Aspens in the fall, cutting their seasons so short. I wonder if the Cherry Blossoms in Washington, DC last very long, I know that they have a festival celebrating the event.

A lot of events coming up in the near future, starting with the High School Graduation that will be held tomorrow night, Friday the 24th. Graduations always draw large crowds and it’s exciting to see these students that are so focused on what they are going to do with their future. The first graduation that we went to had a class of 57 and all but 7 were going into the work force out at Ruby’s. Now each student has eyes set on furthering education, whether it be college, missions or service time.

They have been prepared well for their future.

This month dates really have me messed up, this Monday is Memorial Day, and it is only the 27th. The American Legion and the Auxiliary will be again placing flags on the Veterans graves, if your loved ones need a cross for a flag please call me (I always miss someone) at 676-2418. The flags going along the cemetery road are purchased by the Cemetery committee.

Because June 1st falls on Saturday, the Quilt Walk Festival will also get an early start on the Wednesday the 5th. It

will start off with the Sub for Santa, Chocolate Festival at the old high school and will be at 6:00 to 8:00. There will be home made chocolates, fruit to dip, music, a silent auction and a lot of fun. Thursday starts the Quilt Classes and the Quilt Walk dinner theater, (starring myself), and will be at the Social Hall. Saturday starts off with the Lions Club all you can eat breakfast at Zions Bank. This will be followed by an old tractor and auto parade. There again will be a tractor pull down at the rodeo grounds; they hook up their tractors to this weighted machine that gets heavier as you pull. There will be a pioneer area where you can learn how to make candles, soap and pet animals at the petting zoo. This will be the 15th annual Quilt Walk and it keeps getting bigger each year. New this year, instead of hay bales along Main Street there will be brick standards that will be permanent that the Quilts will hang on, or you can tie up your horse if you wish. This year the Lions Club has purchased American Flags that will go along Main St. on both sides for holidays.

The Scout leaders from the 1st Ward took seven Scouts out to Escalante, to hike the slot canyons there.

They finished up with the canyons that they had scheduled early and decided to go over and go through another canyon. There was about 5 minutes of rain that was followed

with clear skies, when they went down. There was a very loud noise that one of the leaders heard and thought it was a plane. One of the leaders got everyone to high ground just in time, they got hit by a flash flood, with a wave about 7 feet high that went by. They still got wet up to their waist, they did a lot of praying and it was a very spiritual experience that they will all remember the rest of their lives. All were safe and they learned that hiking slot canyons can be very dangerous, prayers are answered and miracles still happen.

Pat and I went up to the State Track Meet on Saturday and sat next to Virginia and Dean Englestead. They said their son Chase was the Head Track Coach at Riverton. Riverton was doing real well at the meet, I don’t know how they came out. They said that Chase was still running and had won the last 5K races he ran in. Chase went to UVU on a track scholarship and became their top distance runner.

Speaking of UVU they are projected to have the largest student enrollment in the State by 2022, passing up the U of U. Their projected enrollment will be 32,000 to the U’s 30,000.

I received a letter from the State Highway Dept. stating that they are going to redo our main street from 5th N Main to 5th E Center Street. I am assuming that because we live on Main that we received the letter, they will come out to our house and check it over, to see that the vibration from the machinery doesn’t do any damage to the home. So this sounds like a big time paving job. They did the highway about 15 years ago and it took

all summer long, I am hoping it won’t tie up the business like it did that summer.

The tourist visits out at Bryce are up again this year, as it has been since 2004, around a 3 to 4% increase each year.

On one of my rounds, I spotted a port a potty on one of the construction jobs and it was called a Party Pooper and it is a big hit with the tourists.

Utah will have another great Celestial happing on May 26. Mercury, Venus and Jupiter are moving toward aligning into a tight triangle.

For a short time near sunset, Jupiter, Venus and Mercury will align with the sun in the west, quickly sliding beneath the horizon as the evening progress. For best viewing use a telescope or binoculars.

The Panguitch Business Women reported a very successful Graduation Tea for students and parents. Frecia Houston and Katelyn Parkin each were awarded $200.00 scholarships by the business women. Pat and Howard Foy were the guest speakers. Students furnished the music and the audience learned a little more about each student as childhood experiences of each student were shared. The evening was toped off with delicious refreshments and good company as the students hurried off to Seminary graduation.

Seminary Graduation was also a great successful spiritual event. Congratulations to the new Seminary Graduates and many thanks to Mr. Kelly Holman their dedicated teacher and mentor.

GRANDMA’S QUILTS Old Grandma spent a lifetime with a needle in her hand, Makin’ quilts for offsprings and grandkids.

There’s now three generations in her little clan, So stitchin’ quilts, well, that’s what Grandma did.

In every scrap of fabric that passed through Grandma’s hands, Was something she could use, some shape or hue.

Nothing much got wasted, ‘cause Grandma’d find a place, Where that partic’lar piece of goods would do.

She’d cut the stuff with her old scissors, neat and straight and clean, Then make up lovely stars and rings and flowers, Mount it on her quilting frame, which filled the whole spare room, Then set and create beauty there for hours.

She wou;dn’t let folks help her, unless she knew their work.

I’d say that Grandma’s standards were quite high.

“This here is for my kids,” she’d say. IIt has to be just right.”

She’d never let a sloppy stitch slip by.

She’d tell us kids old stories while that bright needle flew, Stitch by stitch, quick as sparkling light, And I would say that we all learned, a settin’ in that room, To do things that you like, and do ‘em right.

I guess she looked at quilting the way she looked at life.

She’d find some good in every little thing.

She’d save stuff from her scrapbag that didn’t look like much, An make up something fit to warm a king.

Yeah, Grandma spent a lifetime with a needle in her hand, Makin’ quilts for each and every kid, And teachin’ us that we could all make good things happen, too.

Just love and care and work, like Grandma did.

Every1Counts Learn to Trust When God’s

By Cynthia Kimball Driving A friend of mine was worried about a project she was working on. “Do you think I’m good enough? Do you think she’ll like it? Do you think I’ll ever get published?

“She was in full fear mode and, at the time, thoughts of faith were nowhere to be found.

“Of course you’re good enough,” I told her. “And I know she’ll like your manuscript. And yes, you will be published. I mean, you’ve got this incredible talent to write. There’s no mistaking it,” I reminded her. “And you’re disciplined. You can just sit down and pound it out. You set a schedule. You make-up your mind what you want to write and then go accomplish that. You just get it done. That’s huge that you can do that. And besides, God paved the way for you two to meet. I mean, come on, she’s the brother of one of your former home teacher’s and she’s also one of your good friend’s friend even though she lives a few states a way? And, she happens to be an actress, in the movie making business and connected in the publishing world? Just look at how God designed that. There’s no way that could ever be by chance.”

“You’re right,” she said. I just want this to work so much.

“It will. And you know, this situation kind of reminds me of when God does provide us with a talent; as He has done with you and writing.

Where you’re in charge with

that talent, like you’re driving this car, for a leg of the journey, and He’s in the backseat, and then when you’ve finished that leg or project, say in your case, where you’ve created a book, where you’ve done all you could, and prayed for guidance along the way, you then hand it back over to Him, to drive the car, to pave a way for it to unfold, for it to be published, especially if it’s good and right and you have faith (3 Nephi 18:20, LDS Scriptures, 2013). And because you do, and you’re doing all you can to be as Christ like as you can, it’s just a matter of time. Yet, now, since you’re not driving the car, that the product of your talent’s not in your hands anymore, you have this fear.

Yeah, it’s because you’re not in control, but God is. He’s now driving the car and you’re in the backseat. But this is how it must be. You have to learn to trust Him. “That’s true. That’s exactly what I’m doing. That makes so much sense. That analogy really clarifies to me what’s happening right now. I can totally see it.”

“Yeah, it’s like you’re in the backseat asking, ‘Are we almost there yet?’ And He’s telling you, ‘I got this. I got you. Trust me on this one.

And just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.’ Essentially, He’s giving you an opportunity to exercise that faith of yours.

And remember, ‘Faith precedes the miracle.’ It’s even been written, ‘.faith is things

which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith’” (Ether 12:6, LDS Scriptures.com).

A. Theodore Tuttle (1986) said, “We need to learn that. We can’t have just faith.

We cannot have the miracle until after the exercise of faith.” (LDS.org, 2013).

“So remember, after you’ve driven your leg of the journey on a specific project -where you’ve nourished your talent to the best of your ability-then it’s time to turn it over to God, when you’ve done all you can do, and have faith that it will come to fruition. Then watch how it does due to your faith. And while you do, be sure to be using that talent of yours on the next project.

Because if you’re doing well with the talent God’s bestowed on you, it will be a cycle you will be repeating for a very long time. The great news?

You’ll know what it feels like to turn over the wheel to God when it’s His turn to drive and likely not be asking anymore, ‘Are we there yet? but saying instead, ‘I think I’ll take a nap,’ since this is how comfortable you will feel with His driving.”

Ranch Loan

Dresses

A woman was shopping for outfits for her 50th highschool reunion when a group of teenage girls came in the same shop to try on prom dresses.

“This dress makes me look forty years old,” one girl remarked.

The woman called out, “May I have it? That’s just what I’m looking for.”

Sharp Knives

A man’s newly married daughter complained that she didn’t have any sharp knives.

He bought her some and phoned later and asked how she liked them.

“They’re terrific!” she replied enthusiastically. “I’ve already cut myself five times!”

My father’s method of accounting for the hundreds of cattle on his ranch was very unique.

Every spring, he would move the herd down a long ramp, through a wooden gate and into a holding pen for inspection. As each animal entered the pen, he marked the count on the gate.

One summer, he went to the bank to apply for a loan, using his cattle for collateral.

The bank officer asked to see his records.

“No problem,” replied Dad. He went back to the ranch, took the gate off its hinges and brought it to the bank. He got the loan.

12-Hour Shifts

A nurse had been doing twelve-hour shifts on a medical/surgical unit. One evening she finally got to enjoy an action movie with her husband.

As they were sitting in the theater holding hands. During the exciting chase scene, he turned to her and said. “Look, if you wanna hold hands, fine.

But quit taking my pulse, okay?”

Choosing An Estate Planning Attorney

by Jeffery J. McKenna

a difficult and time-consuming task, it is critical that you understand your estate plan. If you do not understand your estate plan, you will not be able to properly implement it.

Individuals who purchase “estate plans” at seminars are rarely properly served. The attorney is usually not available after the seminar to properly address questions or concerns the client may have. Seminars should be attended for educational purposes and not for the purchasing of an “estate plan.”

Third, you must select an attorney who is capable of handling your specific situation at a fee that is acceptable to you.

One of the best ways to know if an attorney is capable of handling your specific situation is to talk to other professionals involved in estate planning. Accountants, financial planners, insurance agents, and bankers are all excellent sources to consult for estate planning attorney referrals. Additionally, other professionals should be familiar with what range of fees the different attorneys charge.

Attorney Jeff McKenna hiking with his son in Zion National Park

Although I do not believe the fee for estate planning should be the main factor in selecting an estate planning attorney, it is, of course, a primary concern. Significantly, the fee charged does not always represent the quality of the estate plan. Many experienced and capable estate planning attorneys actually charge less for their services than less experienced and less qualified planners.

In conclusion, there are several factors that should be considered in the selection of an estate planning attorney.

After considering the items discussed in this article and after meeting with the attorney, the most important factor may just be how does the estate planning attorney make you feel when you are with him or her. You should feel comfortable and not intimidated.

Most importantly, the estate planning attorney you select should make you feel that he or she is there to serve your and your family’s needs and should never act like your needs are a burden.

Jeffery J. McKenna is a local attorney serving clients in Utah, Arizona and Nevada.

He is a shareholder at the law firm of Barney, McKenna, Olmstead and Pack with offices in St. George and Mesquite.

He is a past President of the Southern Utah Estate Planning Council. If you have questions you would like addressed in these articles, you can contact him at 435 628-1711 or jmckenna@barney-mckenna.com.

A little boy was listening to a long and excessively boring sermon in church. Suddenly the red sanctuary lamp caught his eye.

Tugging his father’s sleeve, he said, “When the light turns green, can we go?”

Dormitory

At a girl’s college dormitory, dates were permitted only on Saturday night. One young man showed up on a Tuesday evening, explaining to an older woman in the lobby of the dorm that it was imperative he see a certain young lady immediately.

“I want to surprise her.

You see, I’m her brother.”

“Oh, she’ll be surprised all right,” said the woman.

“But think of how surprised I am! I’m her mother!”

Wills, Trusts, and More

Choosing an estate planning attorney can be as complex as choosing any other professional.

If you are not somewhat educated about estate planning, it can be very difficult to know if the attorney is qualified.

Even if you have spent time learning about estate planning, it can still be difficult to know which attorney will be best for you and your family.

The following are suggestions in selecting an estate planning attorney who will meet the needs of your estate: First, you must select an attorney who is qualified. Regardless of the size of your estate or your family's circumstances, you should strongly consider using an attorney who specializes in estate planning.

Even in a small community, there are a number of attorneys who dedicate their practices to estate planning.

Utilization of an attorney who has committed his practice to estate planning should assure you of better service at a lower price. Because much of an attorney's fee is based on the time it will take to complete a task, an attorney who focuses exclusively on estate planning will be more capable of completing your estate planning needs more efficiently than an attorney who only occasionally addresses estate planning issues.

Additionally, an attorney who has dedicated his practice to one area of the law is likely to be more enthusiastic about that area. This enthusiasm will benefit you as a client because the attorney will be more willing to take the time to research a new issue unique to your family and more willing to take time to educate you about your estate plan.

Second, in addition to picking an attorney who limits his or her practice to estate planning, you should use an attorney who is willing and capable of explaining your estate plan in a manner that you can understand. Although it can be

Attention Wayne County Pool Lovers

We are excited to start another fun summer at the pool. We are getting new plaster and tile in the pool this month. We’re not sure how long it will take but we hope to be up and running as soon as it’s finished, hopefully by the 8th or so of June. We will let you know as soon as we can.

There will be a lifeguarding class given sometime in July.

We’ll let you know the dates for that later.

We will also be giving a Water Safety Instructor (W.S.I.) course to teach swimming this summer. We’ll let you know the dates on that. There won’t be a lot of openings to lifeguard this summer but some hours—you’ll be ready for next summer though and we’ll be needing some part time lifeguards. Call and let me know if you’re interested. 435-425-3275 (pool) 435-8362787 (my home).

I’ll be posting lession sessions in the pool windows as soon as the pool plastering is completed.

You may come in to sign up your children for swimming lessons the first week in June. We are hoping to have three 2-week sessions of lessons so you should be able to get your children in sometime.

The Wayne & Garfield County INSIDER Practical Money Matters

The last few years have been tough economically for many people. Unemployment fears combined with plunging home, stock and retirement account values caused many to forgo big vacations – even though stressful times are when we most need to recharge our batteries.

But with the economy turning around, many families are cautiously dipping their toes in the travel pool once again. Hotel occupancy rates have risen in many areas and airports are as crowded as ever.

Airlines and hotels are notorious for tacking extra charges onto their bills. Here are a few to watch out for: • A few airlines allow one free checked bag (Southwest still allows two), but most charge up to $25 for the first checked bag each way, and even more for additional pieces. Plus, most now tack on hefty fees for overweight and over-sized checked and carry-on luggage, so measure and weigh your luggage carefully.

• Expect to pay extra for things like changing flights, extra leg room, priority boarding, unaccompanied minors, pets, Wi-Fi access and food. Some airlines even charge extra to speak to a live person or to buy your ticket at the airport counter or by phone.

• A i r f a r e w a t c h d o g . c o m , Travelnerd.com and Kayak offer great fee comparison

•

•

•

by Jason Alderman charts for various airlines; but always double-check the airline’s own posted rules before booking your flight.

Some hotels charge extra if you check in before a certain time. Ask whether they’ll store your luggage for free until check-in so you can begin sightseeing unencumbered.

Many hotels charge a hefty penalty if you don’t cancel a reservation 24 to 72 hours beforehand and some also charge an early-departure fee – sometimes the equivalent of one night’s lodging.

Read the hotel’s cancellation policy before booking, especially if you’re looking at a discounted, non-refundable rate.

Minibars often have electronic sensors that trigger a charge if you simply move the contents. Also, water or snacks sitting on the dresser may appear to be complimentary, but double-check before consuming.

Hotel parking in major cities can cost up to $50 a day, and many have mandatory valet parking, which means adding a tip on top of that.

Research nearby municipal parking lots beforehand, or check the city’s tourism bureau for hotels offering parking promotions. Sometimes using public transportation and taxis is cheaper overall than paying for parking.

Some hotels and resorts au-

tomatically add housekeeping or spa gratuities to your bill, so ask first before leaving your own tip – unless of course the service was terrific.

• Most hotels charge exorbitant amounts for local and long-distance calls made from room phones, so use your cellphone.

• Resorts often charge extra for services they offer – such as gym access or daily newspaper delivery – even if you don’t use them. Find out the policy ahead of time and scrutinize your bill for unused services.

• Ask to see your bill the night before you check out, so you can review it carefully for overcharges.

If you’re traveling abroad, be aware that using your cellphone can be mighty expensive. Research your carrier’s international calling plan and ask whether your phone is compatible with foreign networks. You may need to rent an international cellphone, or buy or rent an unlocked phone and international SIM card.

If your budget’s in good shape and you’re getting wanderlust, maybe it’s time to venture out into the world again.

Just be cautious about how hidden expenses can add up.
