Road Respect Car/Bike Safety Program Coming to Hwy 12 ESCALANTE - As part of a statewide effort to raise awareness regarding car and bike safety and promote bicycling in Utah, “The 2014 Road Respect Tour” will ride Scenic Byway 12 with a stop in Escalante, at the City Park Pavilion at noon on Friday, May 30th. The Road Respect Tour is the centerpiece of a multiagency program that addresses bicycle safety issues on the road by promoting adherence to the law and respect between bicyclists and drivers. Once a year bicyclists representing the Utah Department of Public Safety, Utah Department of Transportation, Utah Highway Patrol and Bike Utah travel to cities and towns across the state acting as a moving billboard and holding community rides and events.
Road Respect activities in Escalante will include a gathering at the City Park Pavilion with local officials and bike safety riders and visitors. The Road Respect visit will mark Escalante & Garfield County’s introduction to the Road Respect Community Program. “Road Respect Community” was created as an off-shoot of the Road Respect campaign to encourage Utah municipalities to coordinate their bicycle planning efforts with an emphasis on road safety by identifying and integrating elements that build a strong bicycle initiative. The program improves communication and awareness regarding bicycle needs and issues, and encourages collaboration statewide. Road Respect is a part of the Zero Fatalities program,
and was developed by the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) and the Utah Department of Public Safety (DPS) in response to concerns from bicyclists and drivers about safety and the behaviors of each group on the road. To learn more about the Road Respect program, or to find out how you can join in a Road Respect Ride or event in Escalante, contact Mayor Jerry Taylor, or visit the Road Respect website at RoadRespect. utah.gov. 7:00 a.m. - Riders gather at Ruby’s Inn and ride east along Scenic Byway 12 Noon - Riders gather with locals at Escalante City Park Pavilion for lunch 5:30 p.m. - Riders arrive in Torrey after tour along Scenic Byway 12 —Road Respect Tour
Mammoth Creek Fish Hatchery to Remain Open DWR Director announces facility will return to stocking operations in the fall

Mammoth Creek Fish Hatchery, targeted for closure in 2012 yet given a reprieve by serving as a brood rearing station these past two years, will resume service stocking regional waters in November 2014. HATCH - Greg Sheehan, Utah’s Department of Natural Resources Director of Wildlife Resources, announced last Tuesday at a meeting in Duck Creek Village that the Mammoth Creek Fish Hatchery will remain open and resume regional fish stocking operations this fall. Mr. Sheehan unveiled the news to a room full of more than 60 concerned citizens who have fought to keep the hatchery open for the past two years. Located just south of Hatch off of U.S. Hwy 89, the Mammoth Creek Fish Hatchery has supplied regional waters with fish stock since 1923 when it opened as one of the state’s fist three hatcheries. Since then it has been an ongoing leader in Utah hatcheries, becoming the first of the state’s ten hatcheries to install a UV water filtration system as part of a $2 million renovation in 2002, which followed the discovery of Whirling disease at the facility. Community members were upset when they found out the state was considering closing Mammoth Creek Hatchery in 2012 based on in-
formation from a widely discredited audit performed not by the DNR but by the state’s Office of the Legislative Auditor General. “Why invest all that money just to close the hatchery a few years later,” wondered Laurel Byrd, one of the founding members of The Friends of Mammoth Creek Fish Hatchery, a group of people who organized to fight the possible closure. However, following the 2012 audit, rather than close Mammoth Creek Hatchery, the DWR switched the facility’s responsibilities from stocking-raising small fish to full size and then releasing them into the state’s rivers and lakes, to brood rearing–-the process of breeding fish and raising the fertilized eggs to fry. At the time, the DWR’s decision was couched as a temporary measure to keep the hatchery in play within the system, yet its future still remained unclear. Meanwhile, the hatchery has been raising fry, and is currently raising small fish that will be dropped into the High Unitas and the lakes on Boulder Mountain this summer.

Thurs. MAy 28 - wed. JUNE 4 REMEMBER THE 70s? Well, if you don't, don't worry, because they're coming back, and you can experience them all over again. Highs in the mid- to upper-70s all week, lows in the 40s. Windy and some chance of rain Thursday through Sunday, but low probability. Sunny Monday through Wednesday.
“Switching to brood operations has been a fun challenge,” said Gordon Nelson, the 29-year superintendent at the hatchery. “If we fail the entire system fails.” Nonetheless, Nelson said he’s excited to get back to raising full-size fish that will be stocking the waters around him. Mammoth Creek will resume stocking operations in November 2014 after the Loa hatchery is closed due to a New Zealand mudsnail infestation. The issue now, though, say locals, is how to bring back the anglers that once flooded the area’s streams and local businesses. Considering that 92% of the DWR’s funding comes from self-generated funds, such as hunting and fishing licenses, this is a goal not only for local residents but for the wildlife division as well. According to DWR figures, Garfield, Wayne, Iron, Kane and Washington counties, which account for 7% of Utah’s population, have consistently accounted for Mammoth Creek Cont'd on page 2

Fremont Wood Artisan Unites the Rustic and the Refined
FREMONT - It’s always a bit of a thrill venturing into a skilled craftsman’s workshop, where raw material, imagination and skill intersect to create objects that are both beautiful and useful. Troy Anderson’s tidy woodworking shop in Fremont conjures up these feelings of expectancy, with dozens of bar clamps arranged neatly along the walls and clipboards with current work orders hanging from a shop door. Anderson specializes in decorative boxes, furniture and cabinetry, though he says he’s willing to make “just about anything made out of wood.” A special touch, however, is hand-tooled leather inlaid on many of his pieces, and he also does leather artwork independent from his wood projects. Utilizing virtually any kind of wood from reclaimed wood, “chocolate” Ponderosa, juniper,
elm, walnut or even pistachio, Anderson’s pieces may be rustic or refined or a combination of both, with items falling into a variety of budgets. The prices on Anderson’s decorative boxes, for example, range from $75 to $1,000. Loreli and Troy Anderson moved to Fremont in July 2007 from Maricopa, Arizona after their kids were grown, seeking a cooler climate and a reconnection to Loreli’s Utah roots. Her grandparents were from Elsinore and she grew up in Mapleton. The Anderson’s seem not only unfazed but delighted by the out-of-the way location for their business. “I can do this from just about anywhere,” said Troy. Troy has a degree in furniture design and cabinetry from Northern Arizona University. While he attends regional shows to drum up a portion of his work, the majority of his busi-
ness is word of mouth, he says. “I get orders from all over as a result of the shows, but I also just did two bathroom vanities in Fish Creek Cove,” he said. The Anderson’s are active in their local community, serving on committees including the Wayne County Business Association board, and on the Wayne County Travel Council. Troy and his work can be found at many local events including the Wayne County Farmer’s Market, Escalante Canyons Art Festival, Torrey Apple Days and the Wayne County Fair. Anderson’s Cabinets and Furniture is located at 471 N. SR72 in Fremont, and examples of his work can be found on their Web site at www.andersonscandf.com. Tel.435-826-2372 or 836-2317.

100th Anniversary of Hatchtown Dam Failure Commemorated by Safety Officials Historic Salt Lake Tribune Articles Follow Story Blow-by-Blow
HATCH - One hundred years ago this week, Utah experienced one of the state’s most significant dam failures ever, right here in our back yard. Yet, despite the scale of the disaster, remarkably, no one was killed as a result of the massive flooding event from the break of Hatchtown Dam, which occurred on May 25, 1914, and affected communities as far as 50 miles north of Hatch along the Sevier River. This is a testament to early discovery of a leak in the dam, as well as communication with those downstream, according to the National Association of Dam Safety Officials, based in Lexington, Kentucky, who issued a press release commemorating the Hatchtown (as it was known then) dam failure. The association, made up of dam safety engineers, has a Dam Failures and Incidents Committee, according to Executive Director Lori Spragens, “Which seeks to learn what we can about historical Dam Safety

HANKSVILLE - The Department of the Interior Secretary Sally Jewell recently announced an ambitious youth initiative to inspire millions of young adults and veterans to play, learn, serve and work in America’s great outdoors. With the support of public agencies and partners in the business world, the Secretary launched a new program: the 21CSC: Developing the Next Generation of Conservationists. In the coming years, hundreds of young people from diverse backgrounds will get paid to complete conservation projects on public lands nationwide. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is committed to developing the next generation of public land stewards and leaders through work and training opportunities. Thanks to Myron Jeffs, an Outdoor Recreation Planner at BLM-Utah’s Henry Mountain Field Station in Hanksville, youth from Utah are trailblazing this national effort. On Thursday, Secretary Jewell announced seven winning projects that were selected for 2014 program funding, and
Jeffs was among the recipients. This summer, Jeffs will put a 21st Century youth conservation crew to work tackling various projects in BLM-Utah’s Color Country District. Tasks will include improving recreation sites and facilities, repairing fences, and restoring wildlife habitat. These outdoor, boots-on-the-ground activities will introduce youth to natural resources career options, stewardship principles, and personal pride which comes with achieving a strong work ethic. "This program is hugely beneficial to all involved" Jeffs stated. "The BLM will benefit from receiving assistance to accomplish much-needed projects, the public lands will benefit from the work performed, and most of all, the youth will benefit from being actively involved in the outdoors." For more information about how to get involved with your public lands, please contact Jeanette Shackelford, BLM-Utah state youth coordinator at 801-539-4232, or visit your local BLM office. —Bureau of Land Management
NPS Sets Quagga Mussel Containment Strategy PAGE, AZ – The National Park Service (NPS) has developed a response strategy in accordance with the NPS Quagga/ Zebra Mussel Infestation Prevention and Response Planning Guide (2007) to help reduce the spread of quagga mussels from Lake Powell to other lakes and rivers. The Glen Canyon National Recreation Area quagga mussel program has shifted from prevention (trying to keep the mussels out) to containment (trying to keep the mussels from spreading to other bodies of water). As a result, ramp hours will no longer be restricted and green mussel free certificates no longer required. NPS staff
will focus on checking for evidence of attached mussels on boats entering and leaving the lake. Rangers on the ramps, at the marinas, and along beaches will educate visitors on how to stop the spread of mussels with Clean, Drain, and Dry techniques. Utah and Arizona state laws require that boat owners decontaminate their vessels and conveyances to avoid the transport of quagga mussels to uninfested waters. Specific information on state laws for Utah can be found at www.wildlife.utah. gov/mussels or for Arizona at www.azgfd.gov/ais. “Now that the quagga mussels are in Lake Powell, we need to focus our efforts on containing them,” said Superintendent Todd Brindle. “We all put up a good fight for 14 years to keep Lake Powell mussel free, but now we need to work just as hard to protect other lakes and rivers.” For additional information, visit our website at http://www. nps.gov/glca/naturescience/ mussel-update.htm —National Park Service

As the 2013-14 School Year Closes As the 2013-14 school year comes to a close I would like to take a few minutes and let the community know how much I have enjoyed my opportunity to be the administrator of Escalante High School and Elementary School. We have made great strides in improving our school community. Last year Governor Gary Herbert challenged high schools across the state to help students be career and college ready when they leave our buildings. I can report with great satisfaction that Escalante High School has a 100% graduation rate and 35% of the entire student body finished the school year with a 3.5 GPA or higher. It is also impressive to note that Escalante High Schools ACT scores have improved: in English by 1.75, Math by 1.78, in Reading by 2.69, and in Science by 3.36 with a total composite increase of 2.53 points. When faced with what has seemed to be overwhelming challenges this past year, students, faculty, and administration have overcome these odds as the numbers prove. I would like to congratulate all of those who have played a role in helping the students of EHS to sharpen their academic performance. Escalante Elementary School was the number one performing public school in the state of Utah last year. The staff at the school has continued throughout this year to encourage the students to take an active role in their education. While the SAGE scores will not be out until September I have no doubt that the students of EES will have exceeded expectations. I would like to thank all of the parents who have helped the elementary school increase attendance. I recognize that it takes a great deal of effort to have your students up, fed, and out the door in the mornings all while many of you are trying to get yourselves out the door to work. I would also like to thank the parents who have supported their students in their scholastic endeavors. Improving school function is a three legged chair involving students, staff, and parents. Without all three groups positively contributing to the educational effort the process is futile. Eugene L. King, Principal EES/EHS

about 6%, or $733,000, of the state’s revenues from sales of fishing licenses and hunting/ fishing combination licenses. This figure does not include sales generated by non-resident visitors, who Hatch area residents say once were a vital part of their economy. Area residents claim that ever since the Mammoth Creek Hatchery was closed in 2002 for renovation, the quality of the fishing in the area has decreased, causing fewer and fewer people to come back and fish the waters. They say the dramatic decrease in fishing tourism has had a major impact on the local economy. For example, Vince Salvato owned a flyfishing shop in Panguitch for years until he had to sell it in 2006 after several years of slow business. Salvato said he had people coming in from all over the country to fish the Sevier River. “They were just blown away by the quality of the fish they were getting,” he said, “They thought the Sevier was the best kept secret they’d ever found.” But now, Salvato said, the fish are smaller and less abundant, making them harder to catch and therefore less appealing to the average angler. Richard Hepworth, the DWR’s Southern Region Aquatics Manager, says this
is a result of different stocking strategies. Hepworth and his team of biologists noticed many of the larger 10 inch fish were not surviving the winters in the Sevier River so they started stocking the river with twice the amount of fish, but using a smaller, 7 inch trout instead. Whether or not this change in fish size and quantity is the reason for the area’s decline in tourism remains an open question, but, Hepworth said, “maybe we need to change some things around.” Residents are also concerned that some towns, like Hatch, don’t have anywhere for people passing through to purchase a fishing license. Sheehan told the group that anyone can call DWR at 1-800-221-0659 and purchase a license instantaneously. The phone line is staffed 24 hours per day, seven days per week and the code given at the time of purchase will serve as valid proof of a license if you are questioned in the field. With the busy season in full swing, there are still some questions that need answering as the region works to rebuild its fishing industry. During last week’s meeting, Director Sheehan appeared to be allying himself with this cause, admitting, “It looks like we have a lot of information we need to learn how to share better.” —Insider

Many people live in fear. They wake up with fear. Their thoughts are fear. Someone living this way might say, “I cannot take it anymore. I hate my life. My life’s just okay and I’m just fine. Why am I so unhappy?” or, “Another crappy day, great.” Fearbased people may feel despair, depressed and feel there is no way out. They tend to see the glass half empty no matter what. Hope-based people, on the other hand, feel peace, love, harmony, joy, and happiness Someone thinking with hope might say, “I can do this. I’m so excited for today. I can handle anything. And that there are no coincidences.” They may say, “Excellent,” when asked how they are. They may say, “Bring trials,” because they know trials make them. They may seem like they are “on-fire”; they are this confident. They see the glass as half full no matter what. Fear-based love says, “It is none of your business.” There are secrets, lies, distrust, rationalizations, excuses, inconsistencies, grudges, and justifications. The receiver in a fear-based relationship may never feel they know what is going on or where they stand in a relationship. Essentially they are kept in the dark and feel insecure. Fear-based love is, “I’ll communicate with you when I feel like it.” Actually, fear-based love tends to be intermittent and “pretends” to care. It may even say, “I told you once I loved you, isn’t that good enough?” Fear-based tends to see hope-based as bad. They may even make hope-based be the bad guy. They might even give them labels such as, “You’re so insecure, distrusting or jealous.” Fear-based tends to point blame on everyone else, especially hopebased individuals. Hope-based love, though,
Hope-based Versus Fear-based Love
is healthy, honest and there is two-way communication. For example, “You can ask me any question. Let’s work things out. Let’s talk about this.” Hope-based people give you time and they are present. They are consistent. They speak your love languages before their own. There is security and trust in hope-based love. There is forgiveness and “I’m sorry. I will work not to do that again.” When two people are hope-based anything is possible and you can do all things. Additionally, hope-based love asks, “What can I do better or differently?” If you are a hope-based person in a fear-based relationship, and if it is toxic (and chances it is), you, too, may become toxic. If you are a fear-based person, though, you can choose to become hope-based. But hope-based is thinking, doing, being, speaking positivity and having optimism, and yes, no matter what. It
is seeing hard times as times for growth. It is asking, when your car breaks down for example, “What is the lesson in this?” And, “Who am I supposed to meet and impact?” Fear-based love can kill your spirit and heart. Hope-based love can jump start your spirit and heart. Choose today to be a hope-based person and give hope-based love. The first step is choice. Next is action. Third, repeat over, and over, and over again. Until you find hope. And you are happy. And you are hope-based. And give-hope-based love.

During my uncle's physical exam, his doctor mentioned that he was slightly overweight. "Do you get any exercise?" the physician asked.

"I had to store it in the basement," my uncle confessed, "because it got in the way of my snack trays."
Grandma's Accident
I was lying in my hospital bed on the third day after an accident when my eight-yearold granddaughter arrived with her mom. She looked in awe at the wrist-to-shoulder cast on left arm, then asked to see the rest of the damage. I showed her my broken right ankle, which wasn't in a cast yet; my left leg, bruised knee to thigh; and, pushing back my bangs a raw bump the size of an egg above my eyebrow. Her blue eyes wide, she asked earnestly, "Grandma, can I take you to school tomorrow for show and tell?"
Birthday Present
On his birthday, the husband was stuck driving their six rambunctious children around. As usual, they were yelling, punching, and annoying one another. Finally the father had enough. "Kids," he said over the din, "if you would behave and be kind to each other, that would be a very nice birthday present for me." The six-year-old shot back: "Too late, I already got you another present."

Why Probate if a Will Exists by Jeffery J. McKenna (4) the Will was not properly "executed", or (5) the so-called Will is actually a forgery, or (6) for some other reason (such as a pre-existing contract) the Will is not fully valid, or (7) there are other claims against the deceased's estate that impact what the beneficiaries under the Will would receive. For example, if the deceased owned real estate in his own name, no knowledgeable outside person would accept title to the property, and no bank would lend a new buyer mortgage money on it, unless the estate went through probate so "clear title" could be given to the new buyer. (Title CAN be cleared on such property, even in difficult and seemingly complex situations. For advice on how to handle property that needs the title cleared, call your attorney.)

Wills, Trusts, and More Do we have to go through probate if there is a Will? Why can't we just distribute the assets as the Will says? Generally, it is necessary to go through probate or, in the case of smaller estates, a less formal procedure that is still under the general supervision of the probate court, before the deceased's property can be legally distributed. Even if a person dies with A Will, (which is known as dying "testate"), a court generally has to have an opportunity to allow others to object to the Will, and if there are any objections, to determine if the Will is valid, because it is always possible that (1) there was a later Will (which, if valid, would replace the older Will), or (2) the Will was made at a time the deceased was not mentally competent to make a Will, or (3) the Will was the result of fraud, mistake or "undue influence" or

School Notes Summer Capital Projects As the schools finish another year, we are planning several capital project improvements throughout the District. First, we will be replacing the bleachers at the high school gyms in Escalante and Panguitch. The estimated cost for both projects will be $150,580 with a completion date of August 30th, 2014. Second, the District will be resurfacing the tracks at Bryce Valley and Escalante High Schools. We are estimating the cost to resurface the two tracks at approximately $130,000.
Third, we will be sanding down the high school gym floors in Panguitch, Bryce Valley and Escalante. The gym floors will be repainted with a clear coat of water based finish which should maintain the finish without fading or yellow discolorations on the floor. The estimated cost to resurface the gym floors in all three areas will be approximately $98,489. We are currently waiting on bids to complete sidewalks and a parking lot at Escalante Elementary to address safety concerns when students are dropped off and picked up at school. The District has been
working extensively on the FY15 Budget during the past two months. The Budget will be available to the public on the District web page May 29, 2014. The School Board will be closing the FY14 Budget and adopting the FY15 Budget during their regular Board meeting on June 12,2014 at Boulder Elementary. If you have any questions relating to the capital projects or budgets, please contact me in the District office or the Board will accept public comments during the budget adoption hearing during the Board meeting on June 12th. —Superintendent Ben Dalton

Panguitch Bobcats Strike Gold at State - Winning Both the Boys and Girls State Track Championships
The Bobcats took State by really lopsided scores, the boys won by over 40 points, Panguitch 120: to Duchesne’s 78 and Rich 67. They did this for the second year with a total team effort; Tyce Barney was the only Cat who took first place. Tyce Barney Discus 1st, High Jump 4th, Javelin 2nd Josiah Sarles 200 M 3rd, 400 M 3rd Kelden Norris 800 M 2nd, 1600 M 3rd, 110 Hurdles 2nd, 300 M hurdles 4th Kyler Norris 2nd 3200 M, 4th 1600 M, 8th 300 Hurdles Connor Anderson 8th 3200 Uriel Zubbia 3rd Discus Chance Campbell 2nd long jump Dason Houston 7th Javelin 4x100 relay Panguitch 5th 4x400 relay Panguitch 2nd Sprint Medley relay 5th. It was more of the same, with Lady Cats beating the second place Wayne by over 70 points. The Cats 151,
Wayne 80, Rich 63, Bryce Valley 7th. This is a three peat for the girls and almost the whole team will be back next year, they have the creation of a dynasty with a lot of young runners coming up. Whittni Orton 1st800 M, 1st 3200, 1st 1600 M, 6th 400 M.

Note from Coach Norris;
I guess the thing that I would like to point out was that the team titles for the boys and girls were a total team effort. Yes we had great individual performances, But Friday and Saturday was all about winning as a team. Every person that performed did so well. We had zero let downs, that just doesn’t happen at state track meets. Almost everything the kids did was a personal best for them. The boys were expected to be in a real dog fight with Duchesne for the title and ended winning by 42 points. The girls lost to Wayne a week ago at region by 30 plus points and then at state ended up winning the team title by 71 points, and unheard amount. What a fun state track meet with all of the kids having their hard work pay off for them. Thank to all of you that worked so hard to bring these championshipsback to PHS.
Another year in the books and the Bob Cats ruled 1 A sports. Winning 6 Championships over the year, many schools would like to have that many in all of their history. The winning season starting with the Baseball team and the teams 53 game winning streak and undefeated season. Chance Campbell was the MVP with a 12-0 season. Not to be out done the Ladies ran away with the Cross Country Championship, for a 3 peat and with most of the team returning, it could be a dynasty. The boys weren’t too shabby either taking 2nd place. The Volleyball team came in third losing once to St. Joe the Champions and many of that team are returning. Basketball was up next and again the Ladies shined, going undefeated winning all 23 games and the Championship and again this team had
no seniors. Darri Frandsen was the MVP and Whittni Orton was defensive MVP, 4 of the starter were on the All State team. It was the boys turn and they up set the number 1 team on their way to the Championship game. The Cats were so close losing a squeaker by 3 pointers. Tyce Barney was the MVP and ended up with 1987 points for his career. The Debate Team was next up for a Championship; it was their third Championship in five years. Then the Cats finished up the year with run away Track and Field Championships. Both teams won by a huge amount, the Boys by 50 points and the Ladies ran away to a 70 point win. In track and field the boys placed 4 runners on the All Academic team, Tyce Barney, Rowdy Miller, Kyler and Keldon Norris. McKayla Heaton was the lone girl to achieve
this high award. We are losing a long time Coach Matt Houston. Matt took over the wrestling program when it was really in bad shape with only 8 wrestlers and build it into a 32 wrestler team this year. Matt along with Kory Owens started a youth program that has produce many really good Champions over the years. Escalante is losing a couple of Coaches, Greg Allen and Mrs. Hughes. Greg coached many of the sports program and winning 3 State Basketball Championships. Mrs. Hughes took over a decimated volleyball team and built it into a competitive team, making it to state on several occasions. With the Escalante student body continuing to get smaller each year, it is getting harder getting players to make up a team.

The elementary students had Natural Resources day at the Triple C Arena in Panguitch. It is an annual event and is always a lot of fun. They had hamburgers and hot dogs cooked in the dutch oven. Sixth grade Graduation was held Friday the 23rd. Principal Layne LeFevre was the guest speaker. The decorations were wonderfully done by one of the mothers, Moira Florez. (I apologize for the spelling) An awards ceremony was held to honor the handwriting skills of the students at Byrce Valley Elementary. It was sponsored by the PTA. Had a green card drawing for prizes for students who excelled in both academics and citizenship during the year. This was the final drawing of the school year. It was impressive to see the big box that was filled with cards listing their activities. Where they excelled. The prizes were games, balls, telescope, ITune cards, IPad Shuffles, and the big prize was a motorized scooter. This was won by Ben Jensen who was thrilled. The school library will be open for summer reading, on Mondays in June from 1:30 to 3:00 for your use. — Gayle Moore

One Volunteer host family needed for an international exchange student to attend Wayne High School. Wonderful opportunity! Please contact Laura Christensen 435558-9464. xchange students are ages 15-18 and are from Europe, Asia, and South America. They come for one school year to realize their dream of being part of American school and family life. They have their own health insurance and spending money. Students must maintain good grades and follow guidelines of their program, Aspect Foundation, while they are here. Host families would provide them a bed, meals, and a way to get to school. Families
with young children, teens, or older couples make great host families. Hosts must pass a background check and must not be receiving federal welfare. Families choose the student they would like to host from available applicants with the help of a local coordinator (me!) I also plan activities and optional fieldtrips for the students throughout the year. Last year we had an awesome group of exchange students from Norway, Brazil, Germany, Finland, and Spain. Our group of exchange students toured the State Capitol, had a bowling party, were interviewed on the radio, and spent a few days in California! This is a wonderful pro-
gram developed by the US State department in 1961 to create foster international relationships. It continues strong today with many life-long friendships over that time. Aspect Foundation is the nonprofit organization that coordinates students with host families and provides the support and activities through a local coordinator. Utah encourages and welcomes these students by providing funding to the school districts for each student they host. Wayne county is eligible to host one student this year. What a great place to have an American experience! A list of students is available on aspectfoundation.org —Laura Christensen

dam failures, about the technical aspects of dam failures, and also do some public education,” said Spragens. The committee focuses on five "historical dam failures" each year for public attention and this year Hatchtown Dam is among those so noted. Hatchtown Dam, which had only been in operation for four years, was not the first dam located near Hatch to fail, and was in fact the third. The first failed in 1900 followed by another in 1902. By then, Hatch residents had already moved their town from the lower floodplain area to higher ground. On the evening of May 25, 1914, the contents of Hatchtown dam was discharged almost completely within about three hours, delivering approximately 12,000 acre feet
Hatchtown Dam Cont’d from page 1
protected by the dam, containing approximately 14,000 acre feet of water. In area the reservoir, which is situated on the Sevier river in Sevier canyon, is one and one-half miles in length. The water at some places reaches a depth of forty to fifty feet. The reservoir was fed from Mammoth and Asay creeks, tributaries to the Sevier river. At a late hour last night the water was running thirty feet deep between the reservoir and Panguitch, eighteen miles distant. It was reported at midnight that the water had reached the vicinity of Panguitch, but as the town is forty feet higher than the crest of the flood, no damage is expected in that city. Damage Will Be Heavy. Owing to the fact that the break was quickly discovered and that the dam went out gradually no lives are believed to have been lost, but the property damage will be heavy. As soon as the break was discovered couriers were sent out and telephones brought into requisition, with the result that all persons in the pathway of the flood were notified in time to make their escape to high ground and save their lives, although it is believed that many will be homeless as a result of the break. As soon as the dam went out and the great flood of imprisoned water was set free the Sevier overflowed its banks and for a considerable distance on each side the water averaged a depth of thirty feet. Between Panguitch and the dam, there are between fifteen and twenty homes, which are presumed to have been washed away. The total of the inhabitants is estimated at between seventy-five and one hundred. It is also understood that the damage will be heavy from Panguitch down to the Piute reservoir, but it was said last night that the danger would doubtless cease when the Piute reservoir is reached, as that reservoir can take care of a large amount of the water. Phone Line Is Down. The poles of the United States Telephone & Telegraph company were washed out by early evening, but messages were gotten through from Panguitch by private wires. The opinion was expressed last night that the breaking of the dam will result in damages that will mount into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, as, in addition to the loss of homes and other buildings, big areas of farm lands will be flooded to such an extent that it will be impossible to raise crops upon them this year. The Hatchtown project is a state institution and work upon the system was begun early in 1907. The work on the system, which includes the big dam which went out

The Wayne & Garfield County INSIDER in a 10 to 30 foot wall of water downstream and wiping out houses and farmland along the way clear to Circleville, which, though 40 miles away, was completely inundated. The event represented a complete economic disaster for the region. Steve Marshall, retired pharmacist at Panguitch Drug, recalled in an interview last December that his Grandpa Earl left for southern California and eventually landed himself in pharmacy school, at least in part as a result of the Hatchtown Dam flood. Many others, he said, moved up to Idaho. It certainly affected the course of many lives. And to this day, though it's been a topic of discussion both pro and con over the years, a new reservoir has not been built near Hatch Town at the head of the Sevier River. Rather, the farmers of Hatch and that part of the Se-
vier Valley receive their irrigation water from a pond up on Mammoth Creek, according to current Hatch Town Mayor Lucinda Josie. The Salt Lake Tribune and other daily papers provided gripping coverage of events following of the Hatchtown Dam break. The larger story is rife with anecdotes about careless design, shoddy contractors, failed safety inspections, missing records from the state engineer’s office, and a failure to heed a variety of warnings—many by locals— regarding the dam’s location and engineering. This week we are sharing the initial story about the Hatchtown Dam flood published in the Salt Lake Tribune on May 26, 1914, the day following the event, and we’ll have more excerpts for you next week. —Insider
yesterday, the diversion dam, two miles south of Panguitch, and the canal constructed by the state, cost approximately $175,000. The system was practically finished about a year ago, although it is understood that some work was still to be done. The water stored in the reservoir, which was protected until yesterday by the big dam, was sufficient for the irrigation of 7000 acres of land, about 5000 of which has been contracted for. The dam that went out yesterday is approximately sixty to sixty-five feet high and 300 feet long, and is of earthwork with a riprap face. It was estimated last night that the water in the reservoir would cover about seventy-five city blocks of Salt Lake to a depth of twenty to twenty-five feet. Hatchtown Dam Is Washed Away The dam was completed in 1908 by D.H. Brinton, of Holladay, who had the contract or the work. Mr. Brinton said last night that the contract called for $65,000, but that the work cost about $100,000 before it was finally accepted by Caleb Tanner, who was the state engineer at that time. Mr. Brinton added that the dam was constructed under the general supervision of David Jensen, who formerly lived in Logan, but who is now supposed to be living in Springville. The break in the dam, coming at this season of the year, will probably do an irreparable damage, so far as the crops of this year are concerned. It was estimated last night that the break in the dam is such that it would be practically impossible to repair it this year in time to furnish water for the farms.
The Agricultural college has an experiment station, or farm, comprising 160 acres of land, three miles from Panguitch and across the Sevier river, but persons acquainted with the location of the station said last night that they did not believe it would be affected by the flood. __

Early this morning communication was established between Richfield and Circleville. The operator at Circleville reported last night that the residents had moved from their homes. Circleville is forty miles from the Hatchtown reservoir. The first warning Circleville residents had was when water began to surround a dance hall where most of the residents were celebrating a wedding. Within a few moments the first word of the breaking of the Hatchtown reservoir reached the dance hall. The people rushed to their homes and began to move their belongings to the hillsides. At 3 o'clock this morning the water was two feet deep in the hall and it was expected that the main wave would reach that city about 5 o'clock. While it is believed that the Piute reservoir, north of Circleville, will care for the water, there are fears entertained at Richfield that this reservoir dam may not withstand the added strain. Those who are familiar with the situation hesitate to estimate what might happen should the Piute dam go out. That the entire section of the country would be inundated with a possible damage of millions, is not believed impossible in the latter event. No loss of life has been reported, although many horses and cattle have been drowned.

TORREY NEWZ by Adus F. Dorsey II
Millie A. Pace 1929 - 2014
LOA - Our dear loving wife, mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother, sister and friend, Millie Albrecht Pace, age 84, returned home to her Heavenly Father, May 23, 2014, surrounded by her family, at her home in Loa. She was born December 2, 1929 in Fremont, Utah, a daughter of Owen and Nola Ellett Albrecht. Millie was raised in Fremont. Her fondest memories were of picnics and fishing with her family. She married Barlow W. Pace, June 24, 1948 in Las Vegas, Nevada; later solemnized in the St. George LDS Temple in 1955. Their marriage was a true partnership full of love for each other. They enjoyed 65 wonderful years together. Millie's greatest treasures were her eternal partner and their children. She exemplified the true virtues of a mother and wife. Her life was full of service, taking care of those she loved. Mom enjoyed participating in club, acting as DUP President of Camp Mauna Loa, and supporting Dad in his many endeavors. She took pleasure in her church callings, including Ward and Stake Primary President, Ward and Stake Relief Society Presidencies; Temple Ordinance Worker and many more. We all fondly remember her delicious meals, cinnamon rolls, raisin-filled cookies and apple pie. She always had a well kept home and a jar full of fresh baked cookies. The quilts she spent hours making are enjoyed by many. She shared her talents lovingly with her posterity. Millie will be remember for her compassion for others, her strong testimony and her love for her family. She "blessed all our hearts". She is survived by her husband, Barlow; children: Beth and Terry Hunt, Mitchel and VeeAnn Pace, Ben and Neva Pace, Patty Krause, all of Loa; Gay and Darwin Brown of Richfield; 13 grandchildren; 40 great-grandchildren; a brother, Newell and Carol Albrecht of Clarkston, Utah. She was preceded in death by her parents, Owen Albrecht, Nola and Vern Ernstsen; two sons: Owen W. Pace and Seth Barlow Pace; a grandson, Jason Wayne Hunt; and two brothers: Buddie S. Albrecht and Owen Lanaie Albrecht. Funeral services will be held Thursday, May 29, 2014 at 1:00 P.M. in the Loa LDS Stake Center, where friends may call for viewing Wednesday evening from 6 to 8 P.M. or Thursday morning from 11:00 to 12:30 prior to the services. Burial will be in the Loa Cemetery under the care of the Springer Turner Funeral Home of Richfield and Salina, Utah. On line guest book at: www.srpingerturner.com
The big push was on Friday morning, May 23, 2014, ahead of the Memorial Day Weekend rush in an attempt to remove all children, animals, manure spreaders and slow moving seniors from the roadways, and anything else that might hinder the flow of holiday traffic headed full force into Wayne County. If you were a local and didn’t already have all the groceries you needed by noon on Thursday for your fun filled weekend, you might have been out of luck as the newly illuminated Royals Foodtown sign was attracting customers and visitors like ants to a family picnic. The parking at Royal’s lot was so over flowing that rigs were clogging traffic on Main Street in Loa to the point that they should have employed a rent-a-cop to direct the traffic to reduce congestion. Lucky that Royal's has such a well trained dedicated super staff as the checkout lines could have been as chaotic as the ticket counter at a Selena Gomez concert, or a Kardashian sisters garage sale at Brooke Jeff’s Boutique in Lyman. As of this report there has been no indication or call for the assistance of local law enforcement officers or county extrication equipment to remove anyone from the frozen food freezers or outside dumpster like there regularly has been at the Richfield Wal-Mart. If Memorial Day weekend in Wayne County isn’t a good enough reason for the laws to wear your seat belts and against putting on make-up, reading the newspaper, not texting on your cell phone while you are driving, and statewide safety inspections, I don’t know what it is. There is nothing scarier than seeing a jacked up Chevy four-by-four, pulling a fifth wheel trailer as long as a B&W railroad car, hauling five four wheelers and a ski boat coming at you at full speed in the

Steve Taylor, Notom. rear view mirror of your rusted 1988 Subaru station wagon, especially when you are following a Wayne County farmer in a overloaded manure spreader at fifteen miles an hour. A very good reason why they make and sell those dash board Jesus statues in Santaquin and across the border in Mexico and in San Diego. As is usual, with the increase in the summer time motorized traveling public taking to the Utah highways, gas prices in Torrey have taken on a localized and inconsistent life of their own resulting in a 20 to 30 cent per gallon difference in the matter of a short seven-mile drive depending on the direction you are driving. To date the summer gas prices are set in Torrey at 3.99 a gallon at Taft’s Travel Plaza, 3.69 in Bicknell at Blackburn’s and 3.53 at Harry’s in Loa, all of which is subject to change daily during the tourist season. The green sheen of spring is beginning to show color in the freshly plowed and planted fields in the up-county villages of Teasdale, Bicknell, Lyman, Loa and Fremont. Below the Reef, farmers and ranchers in Caineville and Hanksville have long since seen their fields turn green and been able to enjoy their evenings ordering dinner to go at Duke’s and watching full and uninterrupted episodes of “Dancing With the Stars” before the real summer work begins. For those of us that depend heavily on our connection to the Worldwide Web and were late with our service payments, we went into a frantic panic when the Internet went down on Thursday. I don’t know about anybody else but when my aging computer hesitated then refused to connect me to the Internet I couldn’t get into my car fast enough. With the long holiday weekend staring me in the face and the thought of not being able to surf the web for three days, I would have been willing to hock my wife (if I had one) to pay the late fees and reconcile my Internet account. When I arrived at Don’s IWEBCONN office in Lyman he was wearing a big grin. Master computer and Internet whiz Don Foutz knew immediately why I was there, as I wasn’t the first, he then told me the Internet problem in the system was somewhere up north, up there where folks have disdain (and backhoes and aren’t
afraid to use them) for those of us live in the sunny south, but he was grateful that the untimely outage had brought me to my senses and I was moved to come in and make my late Internet payment. A disregarded Garkane, ATT cell phone and Bicknell Town Water late payment can often have the same frantic effect. Sometimes going without public notice are the persistent and daily efforts of the Wayne County employees like Economic Development Director Michelle Williams and Wayne County Tourism Director Nycole Durfey. Nycole Durfey is responsible for spreading the word that Wayne County is the ultimate destination for the worldwide traveling public in search of the authentic Wild West American adventure. In conjunction with the efforts of Wayne County elected officials, Michelle Williams, the Wayne County Economic Development Director, has the ability and know-how to offer local and worldwide incentives, and employment opportunities for business start ups to expanded and re-locate to Wayne County. As recently as the week of May 19th through the 22nd Michelle Williams, with assistance from Wayne County GIS guy Brandon Jensen singlehandedly organized a Wayne County Heritage Bicycle Tour for some very influential Wasatch Front movers and shakers. The Heritage Bicycle Tour was so complete that worldrenowned local Wayne County historian Steve Taylor, wearing his trademark well washed Dickey bib overalls was contracted to ride along and point out and talk about key historical Wayne County sites of interest. On Tuesday May 21st, the touring bicycle group made the rounds in Wayne County that included sites in Bicknell, Lyman, Fremont and Loa. Historian Steve Taylor gave a detailed history of the areas at every stop. Wednesday’s tour included Capitol Reef National Park historical Fruita area, and a road trip to Notom where the group had the opportunity to marvel at Golden Durfey’s Iron Horse tractor. On Thursday the riders made the scenic loop from Torrey to Teasdale where Carol Williams open her home and shared a little local flavor that she is so well known for. A short stop at the Teasdale

Cultural Hall and Teasdale Daughters of the Utah Pioneers (DUP) building offered the ability to discuss the need to preserve historical structures for generations to come. The troop of history enthusiasts then proceeded toward Fish Creek Cove enjoying the many geological features along the way like the Cockscomb and story rock quarry. At the junction of highway 12 and the back Teasdale road, a group decision was made to proceed north onto Vance Morrill’s one of kind Flute Shop, where in fine Vance Morrill fashion he expertly played a couple of tunes and showed off his handcrafted and prize winning flutes. The Heritage Bicycle Tour headed up by tour Director Brad Smith was considered a huge success and the first of many to come. In an attempt to spread the love around, the Broken Spur, Red Cliffs Restaurant, Cougar Ridge, Teri and Clark Taylor and Lesa Hilton provided local hospitality and catered dinner and lunches. In addition, much appreciation goes out to Steve Taylor and Ann Torrence for sharing their expertise. Not that I was in attendance at church services on Sunday but I am positive those local individuals that faithfully pack beepers and EMS radios must have been bleary, red eyed, and prone to nodding off during opening and closing prayer in Ward houses through out Wayne County this weekend. From Friday on, hardly an hour passed by that the Wayne County EMT’s, Fire Department extrication services and on call Wayne Clinic personnel were given more than a moment or two to enjoy Grand Ma’s Memorial weekend famous recipe of potato and coleslaw salad, grilled sausages and hot dogs, and one inch thick grass fed beef hamburgers. All the while sitting shoulder-to-shoulder on a stout picnic table filled with extended and visiting families, in between infrequent calls to action in emergency situations. Believe you me, and as a past and present recipient of the professional Wayne County emergency services, I for one am certainly thankful for every one of the on-call EMS and the Wayne County Clinic individuals. Because of “them” I am alive and a proud owner of a continuously functioning heart, a left thumb and reconstructed dislocated foot. Not to go unnoticed on this Memorial Day weekend is Loa’s new Veteran's Memorial Park on Main Street. It was a very proud moment to drive by and see all the Armed Forces and American flag flying this Memorial Day weekend and a true testament to all the advocates like Pace Ellett and Jeff Olson, and the many supporters and county wide volunteers that have helped make this local Wayne County Veteran's Memorial dream become a reality.

The Wayne & Garfield County INSIDER
FYI Panguitch
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Memorial weekend was a big hit, with so many things going on. The weather could have been better on Friday while flags were going up, however the flags really look good when the wind is blowing. The war movies at the Gem Theater did well, with people showing up for each showing. Randy Swanson did a video on some of the Veterans in the area and it played between shows and went over real well. Randy also came up with the idea of showing the war movies over the weekend. The Giant garage sale attracted a lot of looky loos and some really good buys were there, one woman told us that she made over $300.00, enough for a new stove. The pancake breakfast was also a success, they pre sold a lot of tickets as it was a fund raiser for girls camp. A big surprise was that the Bar G Wranglers were here, I wish that there would have been a little notice on the fun group, but we had other commitments. Many thanks to those of you that gave us names of Veterans that had been overlooked, so that we could put
crosses on their graves. Many thanks to Pat and Shawn for putting out over 300 flags on the Veterans graves and to the Millers, Rick and Linda for their badly needed help on putting up the flags on the road into the cemetery. A big cheer for LaMont Olsen for putting together the ceremony at the cemetery on Memorial Day morning. What a great job Melanie Heaton did on taking on the enormous task of new gardener at the cemetery. It looked great! Can you believe that the 16th annual Quilt Walk play will be starting in two weeks? The Quilters have a real big name teacher that will be here and I believe her classes are sold out and she is attracting many Quilters to our area. The show will kick off with the Chocolate Fest at the old high school, mumm so good with home made goodies to munch on. If you didn’t sell some of your goods on Main St. and you would like to donate your goods for the silent auction at the chocolate fest, contact Pat at (676-2418) all money raised at the Fest will go to the Sub for Santa fund.
This year with your $5.00 ticket to the Home Show, you will get a scoop of ice cream from the Gem Theater. Sunday out at Bryce Canyon, they were hammered; they had to close the park to autos for a while. They had to ride the shuttle and the buses were really loaded, they kept two drivers on over to handle some of the overload. Last years Park visits hit an all time high with 1.4 million visitors, they were hoping to make it to 1.5 million but the government shut down killed that. It
is nice to see so many no vacancy signs around town, we could use a few more holidays and rain. It looks like we won’t be getting agriculture water till the 16th of June and with the little amount of water in the Lake it looks like it will only be for 72 days. With all of the wind the lawns are really dry, so spend a little money on water to keep your lawn from dying. Also keeping your grass at about 3” high it won’t use so much water.

That would include substance abuse, alcohol, pornography, eating disorder, etc. It can also help you if someone else's addiction is affecting your life. Many who attend find that their addiction is not unique and can gain strength from others who struggle with the same or similar problems. ARP is an anonymous program and attendance and discussions are strictly confidential.
Thank you to John Cloud, Ellen Fogergren and Kezli Floyd for their articles for the newspaper each week. They were dedicated and did a beautiful job. Also thanks to Crystal Mortesen for taking care of the Track news for the paper. It was a big help to have her do that column and to all the ladies and men who help me with the news each week.

They keep them beautiful and clean. We appreciate their efforts on our behalf. Have a great week and please call or email your news. Thanks to those who take the time to do it. VS
Bryce Valley High School Graduation
Excitement and nerves were floating around the auditorium at Bryce Valley High School on May 22nd as 19 young people prepared to receive their diplomas and move onto the next chapter in their lives. There were 22 students in the graduation class of 2014 and the Graduation Ceremony was well done. Valedictorian was Taylor Talbot and Salutatorian was Codi Mangum. Taylor chose to compose a song and sing it to the graduates and Codi did an excellent job of talking about what it all meant. Guest Speaker was Gayle Pollock who touched the students by remembering their two class members who were gone from their midst. Levi Holm and Jesse Jessen. He gave them a very relateable and meaningful talk about their futures and what they can look forward to. He commended them for a job well done and for their courage. Other students talked about thanking their parents for their support and
encouragement and still others thanked the teachers down through the years for their support and teachings. The scholarships that each recieved were talked about during the graduation and one was as high as $38,000. Their was a slide show of each student showing them then and now and they also heard someone predict their future. It was very funny. At the end of the slide show was a special tribute to
Levi and Jesse and the parents were presented with items from the Trophy case that belonged to the boys. Principal Jeff Brinkerhoff passed the students to the school board for graduation and they were accepted and given their diplomas. The names of the 2014 graduating class students were: Tanner Barton, Edith Garcia, Kaden Hall, Troy Henderson, Trenton Leslie, Codi
Mangum, Bailey Mathews, Alondra Medina-cruz, Carter Mortensen, LeTonya Nez, Adam Platt, Janette Pollock, Andrea Quijada, Joshua Rose, Brennan Stewart, Taryn Syrett, Taylor Talbot, Chandlyr Tebbs, Tamya Whiterock, Ginger Elmer, Matt Cox, and Hayden Roberts.

"If you're worrying about calling in sick all of the time, or you've got a bad bout of pneumonia, and you're uninsured, you're likely to miss more

Practical Money Matters
Don't Fall Prey to Medical Identity Theft By now, most people know about the perils of identity theft, where someone steals your personal or financial account information and makes fraudulent charges or opens bogus accounts in your name. Lately, a not-so-new twist has been getting a lot of attention – medical identity theft. That's where someone gains access to your health insurance or Medicare account information and uses it to submit phony insurance claims, obtain prescription drugs or medical devices, or get medical treatment in your name. Besides its high cost, medical ID theft also can have deadly consequences: Suppose someone poses as you and gets an appendectomy; if you later entered the hospital with abdominal pain, your medical file would show that your appendix was already removed and you could be tragically misdiagnosed. Here are a few tips for avoiding medical ID fraud and steps to take if it happens: Your medical files are often full of information ID thieves crave: account numbers for Social Security, health insurance, Medicare or Medicaid, contact information, email address, etc. All it takes is one stolen employee laptop or an intercepted piece of mail or email to leave you vulnerable. Sophisticated thieves will also hack computer networks of insurance companies, pharmacies, medical equipment suppliers and others who have access to your medical records. And unfortunately, the black market for stolen information is so tempting that employees have been known to steal data. Common signs of medical identity theft include: • Provider bills or insurance Explanation of Benefits
by Jason Alderman (EOB) forms that reference medical services you didn't receive. (Verify all dates, providers and treatments and look for duplicate billing.) • Calls from debt collectors about unfamiliar bills. • Medical collection notices on your credit report. Just as you shouldn't hesitate to ask your doctor or nurse whether they washed their hands, so you should feel free to ask what security precautions their business office takes to protect your information. Here are a few preventive measures to take: • Never reveal personal or account information during unsolicited calls or emails. • Be suspicious if someone offers you free medical equipment or services and then requests your Medicare number. • Never let people borrow your Medicare or insurance card to obtain services for themselves. Not only is this illegal, but it could be disastrous if your medical histories become intermingled (think about differing allergies, blood types, etc.) • Regularly check your credit reports for unpaid bills for unfamiliar medical services or equipment. This could indicate someone has opened a new insurance policy us-
ing your identity and is running up charges. If you suspect or know your information has been compromised, ask for copies of your medical records from each doctor, hospital, pharmacy, lab or health plan where a thief may have used your information. Also request a copy of their "Accounting of Disclosures" form, which lists everyone who got copies of your medical records. Next, write them all by certified mail explaining which information is inaccurate, along with copies of documents supporting your position. Ask them to correct or delete all errors and to inform everyone they may have sent records to (labs, other doctors, hospitals, etc.) Keep copies of all correspondence and logs of all phone calls or other related activities. You can also file a police report and contact the fraud units at the three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. You may want to place a fraud alert or freeze on your accounts. Visit the Federal Trade Commission's Identity Theft site for more information (www.consumer.ftc.gov). Jason Alderman directs Visa's financial education programs.
