National Parks' Need Better Funding As Holiday Crowds Converge WASHINGTON, D.C. The unofficial start of summer is here - and the country's national parks are embracing the Memorial Day crowds - but advocates also are making a plea for better funding so they can retire a huge backlog of maintenance projects. Last year, the parks set a record for visitation - with 330 million people enjoying the natural wonders and cultural heritage sites. But John Garder, director of budget and appropriations for the National Parks Conservation Association, says the parks also are in crisis because the backlog of repairs has now grown to $11.3 billion. "There are trails that are eroding, drinking-water and wastewater systems where those pipes are rotting," he says. "There are roads that have serious structural issues,
as well as bridges and tunnels and visitor centers." The National Park System, which just had its 100th birthday last year, includes more than 400 sites. Garder says Congress clamped down on spending in 2011 with the sequestration, so the budgets have been lean and the deferred maintenance keeps piling up at aging facilities. He says the administration's new budget proposal would make the problems much worse, because it cuts the Department of the Interior by $1.4 billion, which translates to a 13-percent cut for the National Park Service, the biggest cut since World War Two. "The president just proposed to Congress possibly the worst proposal for our national parks ever," he explains. "It's difficult to overstate the level of damage proposed in that budget. For example, more

than 1,200 fewer park rangers." Garder would like to see more money for the parks, not less, and he'd like to see Congress pass a pair of bills in the House and Senate called the National Park Service Legacy Act, which puts about $500 million a year aside to handle the backlog over the next three decades. —National Parks Conservation Association

Enjoy Solitude and Family Fishing This Summer
ryAn Mosley
May and June are great months to catch big lake trout at Flaming Gorge Reservoir.
Oplinger says. “And this is a great month to catch them at the reservoir.” Oplinger says the familyfriendly waters on the list provide opportunities for those who like to fish with bait and those who like to fish with lures. “These waters provide great opportunities for both boat and shore anglers too,” he says. “These family-friendly waters have something for everyone.” The species available to catch also vary greatly among the waters. “Depending on where you go,” he says, “you and your family might catch trout, bass, walleye, bluegill and even tiger muskie.” While some Utahns will be looking for a close-to-home place to take their family, others will be looking to beat the crowds and find solitude while enjoying the early-summer weather in Utah’s backcountry. Oplinger says some of the best, most scenic, least crowded waters in Utah include the following: Lost Creek Reservoir (Northern Utah) Flaming Gorge Reservoir (Northeastern Utah) Joes Valley Reservoir (East-central Utah) Navajo Lake (Southwestern Utah) Lost Creek Reservoir, located near Morgan, is less than 90 minutes from Salt Lake City. It’s not heavily fished, and lots of large cutthroat and rainbow trout are available to catch. Ironically, Flaming Gorge is one of Utah’s most popular reservoirs, but it’s also a place where you can find solitude. “If you have a boat,” Oplinger says, “it’s easy to motor out into the reservoir and get away from everyone else. May and June are great months to catch rainbow trout, lake trout, kokanee salmon and smallmouth bass at Flaming Gorge.” Joes Valley Reservoir is about an hour south of Price. “It’s one of a handful of waters in Utah that have splake, which are a cross between a lake trout and a brook trout,” he says. “Fishing for splake can be great at Joes Valley this time of year.” The final water on the list—Navajo Lake—is about 45 minutes east of Cedar City. “It’s another great place to catch splake,” he says. Oplinger says some of the waters on his list are close to home while others are perfect places for a weekend trip. —Utah Division of Wildlife Resources
SOUTHERN UTAH If you’re like a lot of Utahns, you’re ready to get outside, enjoy some sunny weather and catch some fish. As you make plans for your weekend, biologists with the Division of Wildlife Resources have some “inside information” to share about fishing waters you might want to consider visiting. Randy Oplinger, sport fisheries coordinator for the DWR, says Utah has literally hundreds of fishing waters. “It can be challenging to pick a water that best meets what you’re looking for,” he says. “Fortunately, our biologists know these waters like the backs of their hands. And they’re happy to provide direction.” Oplinger says many anglers are looking for one of two things: a close-to-home water that provides them and their kids with a good chance to catch fish, or a water that provides good fishing in a peaceful and quiet setting. From Memorial Day weekend through the end of June, the following waters should be the very best waters to fish in Utah this year. Oplinger places the waters into two categories: “best family fishing waters” and “places to fish and get away from it all.” “Early summer is the perfect time to get outside and fish with your family,” Oplinger says. “And it doesn’t matter if you’re an experienced angler and members of your family are just getting started. Many lakes in Utah provide fishing opportunities that can be enjoyed equally by anglers with various levels of experience.” Oplinger says many of these waters are near some of Utah’s largest cities. That makes them great places for a quick afternoon trip. “Other waters have campgrounds,” he says, “which makes them a great place for a weekend getaway. Several of the best,
family-friendly waters have nice fishing piers, restrooms and boat ramps.” So, which waters are the best waters to consider taking your family to from Memorial Day weekend and through early summer this year? Here’s Oplinger’s picks, along with some brief information about each one: Mantua, Pineview and Willard Bay reservoirs (Northern Utah) Strawberry Reservoir (North-central Utah) Currant Creek and Starvation reservoirs (Northeastern Utah) Mantua, Pineview and Willard Bay are north of Salt Lake City and within an hour’s drive of the state’s capitol. Oplinger says all three provide great fishing for warmwater fish. “Right now is an ideal time to catch largemouth bass at Mantua and smallmouth bass at Pineview,” he says. “In the next few weeks, bluegill fishing should pick up at Mantua, and fishing for wipers should pick up at Willard Bay. Also, May and June are great months to catch tiger muskie at Pineview.” Strawberry Reservoir is about 90 minutes from Salt Lake City. The reservoir provides some of the best trout fishing in the country. “Strawberry produces a lot of large cutthroat and rainbow trout this time of year,” Oplinger says. “And June is a great time to catch kokanee salmon at the reservoir.” Currant Creek Reservoir is just a short drive beyond Strawberry Reservoir. It’s another great trout fishery. “During surveys last fall,” he says, “our biologists found a lot of large tiger trout in the reservoir. Those tiger trout should be hungry and easy to catch this time of year.” The final family-friendly water—Starvation Reservoir— is just west of Duchesne. “Starvation is one of the best places in Utah to catch walleye,”
SOUTHERN UTAH - If you hike in an area where deer live in Utah, don’t be surprised if you come across a deer fawn, or maybe even an elk calf, in early summer. The answer is simple: leave it right where you found it. Don’t approach it, don’t touch it, and, by all means, don’t pick it up and bring it home. You may not realize it, but if you pick a baby animal up, you’ve just removed it from its mother. And, if you approach a fawn and cause the animal to run, it will be difficult for its mother to find it. Don’t touch or move it If you find a baby animal in the wild, Justin Shannon, big game coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources, says you probably won’t see its mother. Not seeing its mother might lead you to believe that the animal has been abandoned. But that’s rarely the case. “Actually,” Shannon says, “deer fawns are alone and isolated during their first weeks of life. And that’s on purpose. The mother knows leaving the fawn alone is the best way to protect it from predators.” Shannon says newborn big game animals fall into two categories: followers and hiders. Followers include bison calves and bighorn sheep lambs, which follow their mothers shortly after they’re
born. Hiders, such as mule deer fawns and elk calves, do the opposite—they hide, alone, for most of the day. During the day, a doe deer will reunite with its fawn for a short time, to nurse it and care Courtesy dWr for it. Then, to The best place for a fawn is with its mothdraw attention er.

state’s labor force continue to be hired by employers who are adding jobs and expanding their economic footprint.” Eight of the ten private sector industry groups measured in the establishment survey posted net job increases in April as compared to last year, while the Natural Resources and Mining industry decreased by 800 positions and the Information industry shed 300 positions. The largest private sector employment increases were in Trade, Transportation, and Utilities (10,700 jobs); Professional and Business Services (9,200 jobs); and Education and Health Services (7,500 jobs). The fastest employment growth occurred in Professional and Business Services (4.6 percent); Leisure and Hospitality Services
(4.2 percent); and Trade, Transportation, and Utilities (4.0 percent). * Additional analysis and tables http://jobs.utah.gov/wi/ pubs/une/index.html * County unemployment rates for April will be posted on or shortly after May 22, 2017, at http://jobs.utah.gov/ opencms/wi/pubs/une/season. pdf * May employment information will be released at 7:00 a.m. on Friday, June 16, 2017.

On May 16, 2017 our 5th grade state fair was phenomenal and well attended . We all had a state and we had to learn and teach about it. People came and looked at our state boards, state stories, and state slide shows. It was opened up to parents, classes and the community. We learned a lot about the states in America. We learned a lot more than we knew about the states of America. Some of us handed out treats that have to do with their state. Like Jaren who did Hawaii handed out pineapple. Everyone enjoyed learning about our states. Some of the skills we learned from this event was how to do slideshows and work the explore button to come up with fantastic slides and a colorful board display. We also learned how to do a research paper with headings and paraphrase topics like history, state symbols, physical features, important people and other interesting facts. We also learned how to research a lot of information like researching important people of your state. If you missed out on this event, do not worry, come next year and grab your passport at the door and travel the states. Be prepared to be amazed! —Cameron Parkin, Cache Eyre, Rusten Torgersen, Justin Osburn
teachers planned and presented STEM material to the students during the day. The day was organized so that the older students 4th, 5th, and 6th graders taught the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders science concepts such as force, energy, and engineering. The STEM activities included group work, knowledge, and implementation of the scientific process. This includes: 1. Framing Ques-

Wills, Trusts, and More
What is "Intestate Succession"? by JeFFery J. MCkennA
Even if you have never signed a will or trust, you have an estate plan. Some of you may be asking, “How?” The answer is the state has a “default estate plan” for those without their own. This government provided plan is called, “intestate succession.” In almost every state, if you die without an estate plan, the law provides that your entire estate will be distributed to your spouse if he or she is alive unless you have children from a prior marriage. If you do not have a surviving spouse, the estate will be distributed to your children and if a child predeceases you, then to that child's children. If you have no surviving children or grandchildren (commonly called your “issue”), then your estate will be distributed to other relatives. If you have a surviving spouse and children from a prior marriage, a certain amount is distributed to your surviving spouse and then one-half of the balance
of your estate will be distributed to your surviving spouse and one-half to your children. Although the state “default estate plan” attempts to represent what most people would want to do with their estate if they had done their own estate planning, it may not be what you want. There are many concerns about relying on the state’s “default estate plan.” If you rely on the state’s “default estate plan,” your desires may not be met when you have children from a prior marriage. As previously stated, the state’s “default estate plan” provides that onehalf of your estate will go to children from a prior marriage and the other one-half to your surviving spouse. Often, it may be desirable to allow the surviving spouse to have a lifetime interest in all or a part of your estate until his or her death and at that time the estate could be distributed to your children. Additionally, if you marry later in life,
you may desire that all your assets be distributed to your children from a prior marriage because your surviving spouse has sufficient assets of his or her own. Hopefully, you can see that although we may all have an estate plan, it is very beneficial and sometimes crucial that you take the time and effort to develop your own estate plan and not rely on the “default estate plan” established by the state legislature.

O bituaries Jack Soper 1935 - 2017
PANGUITCH – Jack Soper, 81, passed away Monday, May 29, 2017, in Panguitch. Jack was born August 6, 1935, in Salt Lake City, to Elbert “Al” and Ora McInelly Soper. Jack grew up in Richfield, where early on he developed an appetite for agriculture and livestock. He earned both a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Agricultural Education from Utah State University. This led him to pursue a career in teaching, along with working as a county extension agent for Utah State University. He taught shop and vocational agriculture at Panguitch High School for 30 years and was a student favorite, leaving a lasting impression with his commitment to his students and his wellknown “get-along-step.” As an extension agent, he established and implemented programs to assist communities and families with issues relating to agriculture and the environment. He also developed and ran the 4-H program for youth in different communities. Jack received numerous awards and recognition for his efforts and dedication. Growing up, Jack enjoyed being active and gravitated at a young age towards baseball. He played baseball through high school and then at the collegiate level, playing for the College of Southern Utah (CSU). He later coached baseball at Panguitch High School. Aside from his family, Jack’s lifelong passion was spending time in the outdoors - hunting, fishing, riding horses, and camping. He especially enjoyed the time he spent in Alaska, spending numerous summers as a camp host with MarLynn and taking multiple fishing trips with friends and family. Jack met the love of his life, MarLynn Luke, at a class dance while attending CSU. They dated for 5 months and after a 6-month engagement, were married in the Manti LDS Temple on November 24, 1954. Jack and MarLynn built a life and legacy of family together. Jack considered his family to be his greatest accomplishment. He was constantly teaching, building cabinets and shelves, and helping complete projects for his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Jack was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Jack was a perfect example of the adage, “love your neighbor,” serving all in need, with special consideration for widows and widowers. He most recently served as the ward greeter and each week looked forward to welcoming people to church with a hug and a smile. Jack is survived by his wife, MarLynn; 4 children - Kim (Wendy) Soper, Jackie (Russell) Bulkley, Kris (Lisa) Soper, and Korry (Karen) Soper; sister Jean Neilson and sister-in-law Donna Soper; 16 grandchildren; and 36 great-grandchildren. Jack was preceded in death by his parents, brother Jim Soper, and brother-in-law Charles Nielson. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, June 3, 2017 at 12:00 Noon in the Panguitch LDS Stake Center, 550 South 100 West. Viewings will be held Friday, June 2 from 6:00-8:00 pm and Saturday, June 3 from 10:30-11:30 am at the church in Panguitch. Burial will be in the Panguitch Cemetery.

FYI PanguItch
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com This Memorial weekend was a record breaker out at the Park. Between 7,000 and 8,000 tourists were expected to visit on Saturday alone. Many of our motels were full and the restaurants were doing a booming business. We passed the Pines restaurant, out on Highway 12 and there must have been 50 cars parked outside. Most of our RV parks were booked up for the weekend. This weekend signals the start of the unofficial start of summer and signs are good for another great summer for our businesses and a great vacation for the tourists. We got the Flags up out at the cemetery and they looked great blowing in the wind, which never seems to stop. Many thanks to Johnnie and Larry and Franko for their kind help in putting the flags up. We now have over 300 Veteran grave marker flags that have been put up, please call if I missed one of your loved ones. Last year I complained about people using these cross grave markers for flower holders and they doubled this year, I filled two 50 gallon trash bags with these fake flowers and it really adds to the work in this endeavor to honor these Heroes. The Cemetery is really maintained well, however thank you to those families that come out and personally maintain the grave sites of their loved ones. I can’t imagine what it is like to weed whack around 1800 grave sites. I replaced 20 of the crosses that I had glued on and had come off and have ordered 30 more to replace anymore that come loose. Memorial Day is a day that we honor all of our families that have passed on, not just the Veterans and small town Utah really keeps this tradition alive. Coming from California I don’t even know where my Grandparents are buried. Times have really changed on how long folks live, I believe I was 6 or 7 when
my Mother's father died, now people normally live to see their great grandchildren grow up, my youngest granddaughter is 28, oh where did the time go? This next week is the start of the Quilt Walk Festival and leading off this 19th year will be the Chocolate Fest. On Wednesday evening starting at 6:00 Chocolate lovers will be treated to some of the best sweets in the world and there will be some of Panguitch’s finest local talent on display for your entertainment; Cheryl Church and Becky Henrie. The Fest will be at the High School’s old swimming pool area and tickets are 3 for 5 dollars, there are so many good choices, that you probably have to buy extra tickets. Also there will be a Pioneer mercantile where great “stuff” will be for sale. Profits go to the DUP Museum. Thursday the Quilting classes will be starting, some of the classes are already filled up, so you might want to call and reserve room for self. When the Festival started Claudia Crump had 13 attending these classes, now there are over 300 coming and taking part in the learning process of Quilting. There will be over 300 quilts on display in the gym for your enjoyment, even if you don’t quilt the art work and time that goes into these quilts are worth seeing. Then on Thursday night it will be the Quilt Walk play and dinner, under the direction of Elaine Baldwin, the show runs through Saturday night. Elaine and Pat wrote the play and this is Elaine’s 19th year of directing this event. The play has new members each year and many of them really get into their parts (check out Eric Palmer’s mountain man look, he hasn’t shaved for three months.) The Play is a lot of fun and has a historical time in the history of the founding of
Panguitch. Many of the viewers of the play come each year and it has become a tradition. On Friday evening will be the annual tour of Historical Pioneer Homes, of interest. This year there will be a couple of the first homes in town. This year’s funds from the Home Tour and the Chocolate Fest will go to the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers (DUP) for badly needed repairs and expenses for their Museum. Saturday will be very eventful also, leading off with the famous Panguitch Lions Club breakfast at Zion’s Bank. It will serve an all you can eat pancake breakfast featuring the best bacon, sausage and eggs and featuring Greg Payne’s killer pancakes, (kids Greg can make you a Mickey Mouse pancake if you ask him). All for just $6 bucks, kids 6 to 10 $ 4.00, kids 5 and under free. Breakfast will be starting at 7:30 am and run till 10:00. Up next will be the tractor parade, with many antique tractors, showing off their many hours of work that went into making them works of art. Then down at the Triple C Arena there will be a tractor pull, this is where they pull a sled that they keep adding weights to determine which tractors have the most muscles. Events will be going on all day long in the Pioneer Village there will be teaching moments on how to make soap, butter and candles, and a petting zoo for the kiddies. The Quilt Walk was originally started so long ago by the Main Street Committee because the first two weeks in June were the Towns slowest weeks in the summer. Now over the years with great volunteer help it has blossomed into one of the biggest weekend of the summer, many thanks to all of you that have made this event possible. I am really glad to see that they are finally repairing our
All American Highway 12, between Tropic and Escalante. This is one of the roads that I have been complaining about; it is one of the worst roads in the country. It is narrow, rough and a real hazard to the school buses that have to run on it after dark. Ruth Boshell is retiring from teaching at the elementary school for over 20 years. Ruth has been teaching the second graders everything they need to know in life. Ruth has never lost her enthusiasm for teaching these young learners, but it is time for her to turn the page to another chapter in her life. When I deliver fluoride to them each week they are always polite and thank me. Her husband Evan retired last year and they have a lot of catching up with all their grandchildren and Ruth’s parents. Have fun Ruth in your next endeavor, you will be truly missed as an educator. If you would like to get involved in politics at the local level, the filling date for the two four year term City Council seats and the Mayor position opens today June 1st and runs through June 7th. I served on the City Council and it is really the only position in politics that you can make a difference at the local level. It isn’t a popularity contest; we need City Council members that will make Panguitch a progressive town again. This requires a lot of effort and your ideas need to get the voters to see if they are worthwhile. The bulletin board at the post office could use a creative hand of an Eagle Scout needing a project (hint, hint) Dave tells me that the irrigation water will be turned on June 5th. This wind is a killer on our lawns, it seems to dry out soon after you water. Hopefully the wind will die out by the time of the balloon festival at the end of the month. Mack O

The Keys to Outfitting Your First Apartment on a Budget by nAthAniel sillin
Moving into a place of your own for the first time is a huge step. I remember my first post-college apartment move. It was nothing special, but it was mine. It came with a few new challenges and responsibilities and all sorts of opportunities. For the first time, I was able to decide how to decorate an entire living area and turn a blank slate into a home. Here's some advice for finding what you'll need on a budget and a few inexpensive ideas to make otherwise unimaginative rooms come to life. Look for hand-me-down and used furniture. Furniture – tables, chairs, bookshelves etc. – often takes up the most space and can be the biggest drain on your budget. You could start by mapping out your home using online floor plan software and determining what might fit where. When it comes to finding furniture, friends, family members and friends of family members may have something they want to get rid of and simply haven't had the time or energy to do so. Also consider marketplace websites' free sections and the nonprofit Freecycle Network™, which hosts message boards where you can find local people giving away their unwanted belongings. To find used furniture that's for sale, head to consignment stores, garage and buysell-trade social media groups. There are even startups creating online marketplaces specifically for furniture, although they're generally limited to large cities. Get your kitchen in order. Many kitchen essentials, such as silverware, can also be found for cheap at secondhand stores. But if you're looking for something new, you can save money by shopping at discount stores and online clearance sites. Avid cooks who want to invest in a few kitchen appliances might consider waiting
for large seasonal sales. For instance, standing mixers, slow cookers and other small appliances often go on sale every Black Friday. Brighten up the place. While your apartment may have overhead lighting, a few standing lamps can set a much nicer mood. The good news is lamps often stay in the corner and won't necessarily show a lot of wear and tear. In other words, this is another great buy-used opportunity. Don't shop second-hand for everything. There are a few things you don't want to buy used: towels and bedding. Add mattresses to that list as well if you'll be looking for a new one. When it comes to sheets, ultra-high thread counts could be more of a marketing gimmick than an indicator of quality. Try to focus on how the fabric feels, find a weave that you like and you might be pleasantly surprised by the low-cost options at big box retailers. The same test works for towels. Purchasing a new mattress can take a big chunk of your budget. Consider one of the new online mattress retailers that sell high-quality goods for less. Buying a mattress without testing it first may seem weird, but many offer free returns within the first few months. Add a few personal touches. You've got the necessities covered, but how do you turn a generic apartment into a place that feels like home? Think walls, windows and floors. Rather than painting, consider a cheaper (and easier) route by opting for removable wall decals or wallpaper. There are all sorts of shapes, designs, prints and even adhesive chalkboards for under $20. You could also decorate with paper, canvas or metal prints of your favorite photographs. Windows can get a cover-up treatment as well, but rather than spending a lot of money on brand new blinds you can get curtains that add color or a pattern to your room. An area rug can help tie
a room together, but they can also be prohibitively expensive. This is another item that you might not want to buy used unless you know the seller. Luckily, home good stores and some big box retailers usually have at least a few inexpensive options. Congratulations on the move. Outfitting a new apartment doesn't happen overnight. Especially if this is the first time you get to pick what to buy, it can take time to find your style and items to match. However, even with a limited budget, there's a lot you can do to make a space your own. Nathaniel Sillin directs Visa's financial education programs.

Gunnison Valley Hospital Receives the 2016 Women's Choice Award GUNNISON – Gunnison Valley Hospital has received the 2016 Women’s Choice Award® as one of America’s Best Hospitals for Obstetrics. This evidence-based designation is the only award that identifies the country’s best healthcare institutions based on robust criteria such as female patient satisfaction, clinical excellence and what women say they want from a hospital. The list of over 400 award winners, including Gunnison Valley Hospital, represents hospitals that offer exceptional obstetric services that ranked above the national average for patient safety, thereby supporting a woman’s decision when choosing the best for her maternity needs. “The highly skilled doc-
tors and nurses on our labor and delivery team are second to none,” said Mark Dalley, hospital administrator at Gunnison Valley Hospital. He continued, “They are committed to providing the best in personalized care throughout pregnancy and during labor and delivery. It is an honor to accept the Best Hospitals for Obstetrics award on behalf of our amazing team.” CEO and Founder of the Women’s Choice Award, Delia Passi, says, “New moms have many choices when it comes to having their baby, so choosing the best birthing experience is right up there with choosing the best doctor. We’ve made it easy for moms to vet out which hospitals are proven to deliver an outstanding experience.”
The America’s Best Hospitals for Obstetrics scoring process is unique in that it is the only national list that is evidence-based and focuses on female patient satisfaction. Awarded hospitals ranked above the national average for patient recommendations, as indicated by data reported by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) surveys. Additional requirements included having a NICU on-site and low rates of early elective deliveries (between 0-1%), as well as ranking above the national average for patient safety. —Gunnison Valley Hospital
