"Discovery Road" Crosses Atlantic to Connect Past and Present SALT LAKE CITY - In the next series of episodes of Discovery Road, the TV show produced by the Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area (MPHNA) and aired on the Utah Education Network (Channel 9), local channels CentraCom Channel 10, Manti Telecommunications Channel 3, KJZZ TV, and KTTA-8.1, crosses the Atlantic Ocean to build connections from the past into the present.

In four upcoming episodes, co-hosts James Nelson and Maryda Nicole Gallo bring you stories from England and Wales where some of the early Mormon converts came from. In several cases, they also interview people now living n the MPNHA who descended from pioneers who originated in those same English and Welsh communities.

And in addition, they interview people living in England and Wales today who came from the same ancestral families as the Utahns but who are from branches of the families that did not convert to Mormonism.

“If you really want to tell the story, you have to go where the builders of Zion came from,” says Monte Bona, director of the MPNHA and producer of Discovery Road.

“The common thread in these segments is that one family member leaves and all the rest remain—one person making a fateful decision to be-come a Mormon Pioneer."

The first of the four episodes is titled, “The Dreams I Left Behind.” The name comes from a song with the same title written by Clive Romney, founder of an organization called Utah Pioneer

Heritage Arts. The song serves as the theme song for the episode.

The episode tells the story of Richard Graham, a convert who left Yorkshire, England, with his wife in 1867. He ended up settling in Milburn, Sanpete County, a farming and ranching area a few miles north of Fairview.

One of his descendants is Robert Graham, who grew up in the Fairview area, attended Snow College, became an attorney and ultimately became treasurer of the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Foundation, the largest philanthropic foundation in Utah. On May 1, Snow College bestowed an honorary degree on him.

In the late 1990s, more than 100 years after Richard Irit Reed Graham came to America, Last Friday's dramatic weather created a set of double rainbows over the Escalante River canyon.

Capitol Reef National Park Orchards TORREY - Fruit season is upon us. Cherries, apricots, peaches, plums, apples, and pears are typically available for harvest each summer at Capitol Reef National Park.

The prediction for the 2015 fruit season shows that apples, pears and peaches should be in good supply. “We are looking forward to a fun and safe fruit season,” says Superintendent Leah McGinnis.

Up-to-date fruit harvest information and pricing is recorded on the Capitol Reef Fruit Hotline as fruit ripens and specific harvest start dates are determined. The fruit hotline may be reached by calling (435) 425-3791. Once the park number connects, press one for general information and, at the voice prompt for the orchard hotline, press five. Fruit harvest information is also posted on the parks Facebook page and Twitter feed. Information on the Fruita Orchards is available on the parks website at www.nps.gov/care under “plan your visit.”

Climbing fruit trees is not permitted in the park. The Na-

tional Park Service provides special fruit picking ladders.

Use care when picking fruit and carefully read and follow posted instructions on fruit picking and ladder use.

Capitol Reef National Park uses the receipts from fruit sales to defray the cost of maintaining the orchards.

The historic Fruita orchards are among the largest in the National Park System and were established beginning in the 1880s by Mormon pioneer residents of Fruita.

About the National Park Service: More than 20,000 National Park Service employees care for America's 407 national parks and work with communities across the nation to help preserve local history and create close-tohome recreational opportunities.

Lyndee, Nathen, & Dillen Armstrong -- enjoying nature.

Our youth are growing up in a world very different from the world a generation ago. For me, nearly all my growing up years were spent on our farm, or working on other farms. When a day was available for another activity, it was usually spent hiking in the mountains, riding my horse, or going with dad to a stream or river to fish. Even at home, most of the time that was available, was spent outdoors with neighbor friends or visiting relatives.

When alone, being outdoors was a time to think and mediate. My dog was a good friend and rarely interrupted.

Most youngsters today cannot imagine being outdoors alone for an extended time. Even many parents choose not to allow their children, at most any age, to be outdoors totally on their own. They must be with others or the danger is too great! Thus, sports, school, church, or family activities usually provide most of the opportunities to be outdoors. For even those with a job, it generally is done with others present or nearby.

Self-meditation is critically important for healthy mental growth and maintenance. Throughout history, almost all great minds refer to their personal time spent alone to think, plan and reflect on the issues of the day. Even Jesus Christ spent 40 days and nights alone in a wilderness situation, preparing for His ministry. Today, most psychologists now recognize that an individual’s lack of alone time, usually in a natural setting, is a serious contributing factor to the increasing problems of mental health in today’s world. In addition, the increasing health problems attributed to obesity, especially in some of our youth, is largely related to the shrinking physical activity from less and less outdoor experiences. No question, today’s electronic world is very fascinating. However, without some time spent exploring, connecting with, and meditating in the outdoor natural world, other problems often occur.

In Southern Utah, we are extremely fortunate because of our close proximity to large expanses of nature. This became even more clear to me this spring on a trip to Los Angeles, as I wondered how many of those city kids, in that huge metropolis, had possibly never been out of the city. So sad!

What is there to do in the outdoors? Why not hike, take pictures, fish, look at wildlife, learn about plants and animals, both domestic and wild, and always clean up trash. Even working in the yard and planting a garden is so beneficial to the individual and the family.

Parents, grandparents – please turn off the TV and computer as much as possible. Put phones and other devices away for a time. Send your youth out the door! Make rules, and then trust them. When reasonably possible, go with your youngsters to enjoy nature. You also need the relief from stress for a while yourself.

Summer is here, and school’s out. It’s time to go picnicking, camping, hiking, fishing, or whatever, as much as possible.

Enjoy our great outdoors. As a grandparent, my grandchildren are always anxious to come and visit Panguitch, for they know they will spend most of their time outdoors. Also, other of our youth may occasionally need our help. Last week, I had the opportunity to take three young neighbors that I really enjoy and are my friends. Lyndee (11), Nathen(11), and Dillen(10) Armstrong, children of Tracy and Lynn Armstrong, spent the day helping me in the outdoors. They very actively worked to improve the area, and seemed to have a lot of fun doing it. They picked up many, many items of roadside trash along a section of the West Hunt Creek Road. Unfortunately, they were somewhat dismayed to see most of the litter items were beer cans and bottles. Obviously, they were thrown along the road by people driving on the road.

We also planted 500 willow starts to help accelerate the creek’s healing process, since the area burned in 2002. They worked hard and really enjoyed the great outdoors. If you want some good enjoyable days this summer, take some youngsters outdoors!

I would like to thank the Forest Service Wildland Firefighters! I appreciate your dedication and service!

Thank you for your aggressive actions so that when you measured that conditions were optimal you accomplished your goals for the forest. Also great planning so that there were molecules in the air for the water droplets to condense on so, that the rains helped put the fires out in just the 2 days that you had planned, and the air was washed clean and our yards were fertilized naturally.

Thank you for the “Ounce of prevention…” and for doing the Dirty job!

Capitol Reef and Entrada Institute Celebrate 2nd Annual "Arts and the Park, Light on the Reef" June 9-13, 2015 CAPITOL REEF N.P./ TORREY - The 2nd Annual "Arts and the Park” is a new partnership presented by the Entrada Institute, Inc., in partnership with Capitol Reef National Park, Capitol Reef Natural History Association, Gallery 24, Robbers Roost, The Torrey Gallery, Torrey Town, Utah Travel Council, Utah Water Color Society, Utrecht/Blick Art Supplies, Utah Arts and Museums; and youth arts educators Victoria Lyons, Michael Moonbird and Jen Lopez from Bad Dog Arts. Arts and the Park “Light on Reef” is intended to be an experiential plein air event for the whole family; it celebrates first steps into arts education and natural sciences while celebrating life-long learning and the creative spirit of the people and the place that is the Colorado Plateau.

This year the program was extended from three to five days and includes a new free Adult Water-Color Indoctrination workshop for the public on Friday from 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM at Robbers Roost for those interested in learning more about painting with Maura Naughton. “With digital photography embedded in our smartphones we can all take a picture, so why paint?

Well, I’m passionate about painting. The simple exercise of painting what you see with pigment colored water is a form of self-expression we can all do and taking time to really LOOK at what you are painting creates a lifetime of memories for you to share. You will always remember where you sat, what the weather was like, who you were with, bugs, animals and whatever else nature threw at you,” said Naughton.

In addition, after the Friday

night main event, artists will be staying over an extra day to participate in a Saturday workshop with Sherry Meidell, the 1st Annual Arts and the Park grand prize winner. “The artists love it here and wanted to catch an extra retreat day refining their skills. I’m so pleased to have been selected to instruct the workshop, “said Meidell. Her work is featured on this year’s event t-shirts.

Arts and the Park, Light on the Reef program honors the life and work of V. Douglas Snow, for his profound impact in expressing a sense of place through both the abstract landscapes he painted of Utah, the West and Southwest; and for his living legacy as an educator. Gallery stroll will be taking place on Wednesday evening this year from 5:00 – 7:00 pm and will feature artists and happenings at both The Torrey Gallery and Gallery 24. “The Torrey Gallery enthusiastically supports the Arts and the Park programming. We are proud to represent Utah artists who paint plein air. We invite everyone to visit our gallery to see some exceptional Capitol Reef area art,” said Larry and Cathy Bagley.

Gallery 24 is featuring several new artists this year including a ceramicist, and two jewelers. This month’s artist profile is a mono-type show by Nancy Green. “We will all be on hand to participate and support the event again this year. Our own Pat Priebe is supporting the judging, Diane and Bill Barrett are co-directing youth programs, and both Paula Swain and Nina Flow Law will be painting in the plein air. We encourage the community to participate in all the great activities being

Martha Robinson Blackham For the third episode, Discovery Road goes to Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, to probe the story of Moses Jones, who, after converting to Mormonism, came to America alone because his wife refused to join him. He also left six children behind. In fact, in 1884, he had his Welsh wife declared dead.

After reaching Zion, he was assigned to settle in Wales in Sanpete County and become a coal miner. He married a Scandinavian immigrant who was living in Manti , about 20 miles away.

The segment talks about how deeply music runs in the blood of the Welsh people.

Brigham Young was so impressed when he heard Welsh saints singing as they crossed the plains that he ultimately called on converts from Wales to help organize the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

In the Discovery Road episode, host Maryda Gallo interviews Rosalind Hall, a descendant of the children Moses Jones left behind.

Youth exhibition receptions will be held on Saturday afternoon from 4:30 – 5:00pm. “I am so pleased to see the continuing opportunity the event provides for local youth and their entire families to participate in the arts together,” said Susan Snow.

“Capitol Reef National Park is excited to be hosting the youth events as well as the 25 plus plein air artists of the Utah Water Color Society, and several local artists, again this year,” said Leah McGinnis, Superintendent of Capitol Reef National Park and Event Co-Chair. Youth experimental art events will be held at Ripple Rock Nature Center in the Park in two age groups.

Activities include painting, printmaking, earthworks design, and monumental sculptural art inspired by the work of Andy Goldsworth. Those not pre-registered for activities can still join in the following activities with their teens and younger children. Youth registration forms can be found on the Entrada Institute website www.entradainstitute.org.

The main event at Cougar Ridge Lodge is 5:30 – 8:30 pm on Friday. The Capitol

Reefer’s Band will entertain the crowd providing time to see and bid on the watercolor paintings created by participating plein air artists over the previous week as well as other great pieces submitted to the backroom for sale There will also be an opportunity to learn about art history in Capitol Reef National Park, the art and life of V. Douglas Snow and celebrate the judge’s announcements for the 2015 winners of the V. Douglas Snow Awards. Cocktails and h’ors doeuvres will be served. Tickets ($10 per person) are available at www.artsandthepark. org or at the door. “Special thanks to our ongoing patrons, donors, event sponsors and volunteers which make Arts and the Park possible along with so many other seasonal events,” said Marci Milligan, Event Co-Chair.

to Mormon history have already aired in Sanpete and Sevier counties over Channel 10, a cable channel run by CentraCom Interactive.

The Mormon Pioneer Heritage Area (MPNHA) is a federally designated area of central and southern Utah running along the beautiful and historic U.S. Highway 89 — including the All-American Road Utah State Route 12, and Capitol Reef Scenic Byway Utah State Route 24, both of which intersect with U.S. 89 and together form the MPNHA’s Boulder Loop. The area includes the counties of Sanpete, Sevier, Piute, Wayne, Garfield and Kane. The Utah Heritage Highway 89 Alliance is the local coordinating entity of the MPNHA and receives annual funding from the National Park Service. Its purpose is to preserve, tell and interpret the stories, history and heritage of the area, and to promote its culture and value.

USDA Designates 2 Counties in Utah as Primary Natural Disaster Areas WASHINGTON - The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has designated Piute and Sevier counties in Utah as primary natural disaster areas due to damages and losses caused by a recent drought.

“Our hearts go out to those Utah farmers and ranchers affected by recent natural disasters,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. “President Obama and I are committed to ensuring that agriculture remains a bright spot in our nation’s economy by sustaining the successes of America’s farmers, ranchers, and rural communities through these difficult times. We’re also telling Utah producers that USDA stands with you and your communities when severe weather and natural disasters threaten to disrupt your livelihood.”

Farmers and ranchers in Beaver, Emery, Garfield, Millard, Sanpete and Wayne counties in Utah also qualify for natural disaster assistance because their counties are contiguous.

All counties listed above were designated natural disaster areas on June 3, 2015, making all qualified farm operators in the designated areas eligible for low interest emergency

(EM) loans from USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA), provided eligibility requirements are met. Farmers in eligible counties have eight months from the date of the declaration to apply for loans to help cover part of their actual losses. FSA will consider each loan application on its own merits, taking into account the extent of losses, security available and repayment ability. FSA has a variety of programs, in addition to the EM loan program, to help eligible farmers recover from adversity.

Additional programs available to assist farmers and ranchers include the Emergency Conservation Program, The Livestock Forage Disaster Program, the Livestock Indemnity Program, the Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and Farm-Raised Fish Program, and the Tree Assistance Program. Interested farmers may contact their local USDA Service Centers for further information on eligibility requirements and application procedures for these and other programs. Additional information is also available online at http://disaster.fsa.usda.gov.

Schools & Sports Declining Student Enrollment

As the Garfield School District prepares for the 2015-2016 school year, we look very closely at the number of students in each geographical area, and assign the faculty and staff according to the student numbers. When we compare the student numbers from October 1st, 2014 to May 1st, 2015 we noticed a decrease of 48 students across the district. This is a continuing phenomenon.

In 1997 the student enrollment in the District was 1,179 students. We are predicting to have 878 students to begin school in August of 2015.

The Garfield School District has experienced a decrease of 292 students in the past 18 years.

In an attempt to put 292 students into perspective, Bryce Valley High School’s enrollment is 128 and Panguitch High School’s enrollment is 149, so if you add all of the students at BVHS and PHS we have 277 total students. The district has basically experienced a decrease of enrollment equivalent to the two largest high schools in our district. To draw attention to this critical issue, I have drafted a letter and provided it to the Garfield County Commissioners, expressing my concerns with the declining student enrollment. I will present additional student data information to the Commissioners during their June 8th meeting.

Utah Students May Suffer from Summer "Brain Drain"

by Troy Wilde, Utah News Connection SALT LAKE CITY - Parents in Utah and around the nation are encouraged to make sure their children read during summer vacation to avoid what educators call "brain drain."

Dustin Fife, president of the Utah Library Association, says time away from studies can cause serious loss of academic skills.

"It's like any skill if we stop practicing even for a short time, whether it's our reading, our math or anything else," he says.

"We still have this as adults, as we let things languish we tend to have to start over."

Educators say brain drain can affect some students to the point that they won't catch up academically during the next school year. Fife adds that local libraries usually provide summer reading programs that can provide immense value for students.

Katie Willse, chief program officer with the National Summer Learning Association, says research shows children who are interested in what they're reading benefit the most. She adds that frequent reading can turn "brain drain" into "brain gain."

"There's also programs that can show gains, that can show they're not only stemming those losses but they're leading, two, three, four, five months in some cases of reading gains over the summer," she says. "It actually set kids ahead from where they were when they ended the school year."

Willse says research shows that children in low-income families have higher rates of diminished reading skills during the summer, because they lack access to libraries and other sources for books. She adds that groups such as the Urban Libraries Council have programs aimed at providing more resources to all children.

How do I Disinherit a Family Member?

by Jeffery J. McKenna

plains which assets belong to each partner separately. There are rules that may apply when attempting to separate commingled funds, that is, funds of each spouse that have been deposited into a joint account.

Therefore, it is important to consult an attorney to make sure that there is no question or misunderstanding that may cause conflict when you least expect or need it.

Other states give your spouse the right to claim a prescribed portion of your estate, no matter what your will provides, or even if you have a will at all. In these cases, it is impossible to completely disinherit a spouse, unless your spouse is willing to sign a marital agreement waiving his or her right to your estate.

Ex-spouses. Your exspouse has no claim to the assets of your estate, unless he or she has some claim against your estate before you die, such as a court order that has awarded a portion of a retirement benefit or pension. It would depend on how the assets were separated at the time of the divorce. Significantly, insurance policies with an exspouse inadvertently left as beneficiary take precedence

Deciding who gets your assets after you die is difficult enough, but what if you want to make sure someone IS NOT included? Even though the word “disinherit” may conjure up images of family discord, there are many reasons one may wish to do it.

Perhaps one of your children is a wealthy entrepreneur and another has special needs, or perhaps you are in a second marriage and want to provide for your children from a previous marriage – but not your ex-spouse. Disinheriting anyone other than members of your nuclear family is easy – just leave them out of your will. But states have special protections for spouses and children.

Spouses. If you live or have lived in a community property state like Arizona and Nevada, the law assumes that your spouse automatically owns half of everything you both earned during your marriage. There are ways to define money that is yours, separate from the community property, to make sure it goes where you want when you die. However, in order to do that, both spouses must sign a written agreement that ex-

over a will that leaves those same assets to another.

Children. In most cases, you can disinherit a child or grandchild simply by stating so in your will. However, simply omitting to mention a child does not automatically disinherit a child. The omitted child can contest the will if you do not make your wishes clear. Most states have laws that protect against accidental disinheritance; for example, if a child was born after you drafted your will. Again, unless you specifically state that the child is disinherited, the child will be legally entitled to the same share as the other children.

Disinheritance is a personal issue. One who wishes to disinherit a family member may find that there are other effective options, such as putting assets in a trust for that heir, with a trustee making the decisions of what the money can, and can not, be used for.

It is wise to consult an estate planning attorney before making decisions that affect the distribution of your estate and the harmony of your family, once you are gone.

Parents can be very upset when their children don't get into the college of their choice.

As an Admissions Counselor for a state university, I took a call from an irate mother who was demanding to know why her daughter had been turned down.

Avoiding any mention of the transcript full of "D" grades, I explained that her daughter just wasn't as "competitive" as those students who were admitted. "Why doesn't she try another school for a year and then transfer?" I suggested.

"Another school!" exclaimed the mother. "Have you seen her grades?"

The Shredder

A young officer is working late at the Pentagon one evening. As he comes out of his office about 8pm he sees a General standing by the classified document shredder in the hallway, a piece of paper in his hand.

"Do you know how to work this thing?" the General asks. "My secretary's gone home and I don't know how to run it."

"Yes, sir," says the young officer, who turns on the machine, takes the paper from the General, and feeds it in.

(PAUSE) "Now," says the General, "I just need one copy....."

A four-year-old girl had to have an x-ray taken at the medical office where she was taken.

She had been in an accident with her bicycle and the doctor was afraid she may have broken her wrist.

The girl, however, was very concerned about the procedure, and no matter how her mother tried to calm her, she kept putting up quite a fuss as we led her into the x-ray facility.

When she came out a few minutes later, however, she was calm and all smiles. "They just took a picture of my bones," she explained to her mother.

"Yes, dear," her mom replied. "I told you it was easy.

Did everything go well?"

"Yup. It was great!" the child exclaimed. "I didn't even have to take my skin off or anything!"

Men Give Up Far More Than Women

As a professor at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota, I often engage women psychology majors in heated discussions about male-female relationships.

Once, my friend Shelly and I got into a hot debate about whether men or women make the larger sacrifice of their respective gender characteristics when they get married.

To my surprise, Shelly agreed with me that men give up far more than women.

"You're right, Steve," she said. "Men generally give up doing the cleaning, the cooking, their grocery shopping, the laundry...."

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Last night the Quilt Walk Festival was kicked off by the Chocolate Fest at the high school. Many got their fill of so many tasty goodies. The silent auction featured two mounted heads, a moose and deer were donated for this worthy cause, along with other many donations by the generous people of the area, the money goes to Panguitch’s own Sub for Santa fund. Today the Quilt Classes started, with many of the classes filled up. Tonight the dinner and Quilt Walk play will go on for the 17h year. Friday is the Pioneer Home tours. They too were part of the first Quilt Walk festival. The proceeds go to the Sub for Santa project. You can purchase tickets at the social hall, the Quilt Classes registration at the PHS, or the homes.

Saturday is chucked with exciting events, starting with Panguitch Lions Club all you can eat breakfast, at Zions Bank.

At 10am there will be a tractor and antique car parade, down Main Street. At 12 there will be a tractor pull down at the Fair Grounds, some of these tractors really are souped up, creating a lot of horsepower. The Quilt races down Main Street will go on and are real picture taking moment, get your team together and enter the fun. In the afternoon there will be the pioneer village, teaching a lot of skills the Pioneers had to use just to survive during those tough days. It will be closing night for the Quilt Walk play for another year; to finish off another fun filled Festival. The Quilt Walk Festival was started as a Main Street program, back in the 1990s and they picked the second week in June to put it on, because it was the slowest time of the summer. The first year they had only 16 that signed up for the classes, now there are close to 200, learning

the fine techniques of Quilting. The play that first year, was almost a disaster, Teah Caine was the first Lotte and memorized everyone’s part in the play and along with the cue people that were behind the screens prompting the characters it came off. But it showed that a whole lot more practice was needed. The casts have responded and with new cast members each year, the play has been a huge success, telling the story of the founding years of Panguitch. This is one event that requires year long energy.

Thanks to those who love the Quilt Walk festival as much as my family and are willing to put all the energy that is necessary to make it such a well know event.

Next week the BMW Riders will be in town, these are some very bright people, who come here to ride on our great roads and to renew old friendships. The Beemers have great rules that they go by, helmets at all time, don’t ride after dark, never ride side by side, but staggered and they don’t ride and drink.

As I suspected the only ones to sign up for the City Council seats were the incumbents or their relatives. Hopefully some of those that read my last week’s column will have signed up, by Tuesday’s deadline and will bring some competition and new energy to the council, isn’t that what elections are all about? I feel this February notification, probably came from the State Legislature that didn’t want any competition. Speaking of the Legislature they put into effect a big bunch of laws on June 1st, they mostly affect those that put them into office.

However a member of the Legislature who is a UHP Officer on his real job, got a bill

passed that gives the UHP the right to stop you if your seat belt is not fastened. Having seen first hand the good these seat belts do, this is a real good change. So, while you are letting your car warm up, belt up and that goes for your kids too, even if you are only going to the post office or Joes Market.

I made my living, in my other life fighting fires and smoke. These burns that are going on out near Bryce Canyon are absolute necessary.

They are prescribed burns, that burn out the underbrush from near the trees in the area.

When I bus the tourist out at the park, many of them ask about when there was a forest fire and I explain what good this preventive program does. You don’t have to go to Yellowstone, North rim of the Grand Canyon or to California to see what destruction these fires do. Go down to Rainbow Pt. and see what a lighting strike did to that area, miles of burned trees. Those that are whining over the smoke, that is the governments fault, as is everything that they don’t like, get over it, you won’t take the blame when something goes wrong because of your com-

plaining. I love Bryce Canyon and I have probably made five hundred laps around the north end of the Park, in the last 4 years and I never get tired of the beauty and the wild animals. Incidentally today is Prairie Dog day at the Park, come out and the little critters will wave hi to you.

The City has the agriculture water turned on, so you need to check with them when it is your turn. I do know that it will be a west to east system again that has worked so well the last couple weeks.

The NBA finals are underway in Golden State and the first two games have gone into overtime and have been very exciting with Golden State winning the first game and Cleveland the second. It will go back to Cleveland, for the next two games on Tuesday and Thursday. Labron James for Cleveland scored in a losing effort in the first game scored 44 points and 39 in the second game to help in the win.

Main Street sure looks festive! Thanks to those behind the scene volunteers.

Carl and Mary-Miller Boyd were delighted to have a law-school classmate of Carl's visit from Kentucky.

Randy and Meg Shaw spent three days enjoying the beauty of our area. After a tour of Maynard Dixon's home they visited Zion, being lucky enough to see several desert bighorn sheep in the Checkerboard Mesa area. Bryce Canyon, Kodachrome, and Hell's Backbone were all enjoyed plus a good show by the Bar G Wranglers. They were relieved to have a chauffeur over the Hogback. Randy had been to St. George, but was surprised at how varied the beauty of Southern Utah was.

We are sending out condolences to the family of Leda Mae Davis Foster, who passed away June 2nd. They are in our prayers and thoughts as they grieve the loss of their Mother, Grandmother and Great-grandmother.

They held Graveside services at the Widstoe Cemetery on Saturday for Leda Mae. A big shout out to all the Bybee relatives. The names and addresses have been lost (again) and we are unable to send out invitations to the Bybee Reunion on the 18th of July at the Tropic Town Park.

Please help us spread the word. Pot luck dinner 1pm!

Thanks goes out to everyone who showed up to help Val Kelly pack up her belongings in preparation for her move after the fire. We wish her well and hope things go okay for her.

The lightening and thunder are noisy but the rain is most welcome. Hoping it is making a dent in the water situation. It looks like more is expected on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Hyrum and Emily Rose were released as Primary Workers in Cannonville. They have moved to Cedar City to continue their education. We wish them the best. Trevor Pierson was also released as a Primary Worker.

Never Put All Your Eggs into One Basket

by Adus F. Dorsey II JUNE 6, 2015 - Whom ever it was that coined the phrase, “Never put all your eggs into one basket” surely had to be someone’s special Grand Mother, a person possessing copious amounts of wisdom, and if the truth were to be known had a lot of chickens. It is such a simple phrase, one that explains so much about life’s little speed bumps, the ones that always make us slow way down, whether we want to or not. They are like the early morning deep knee bends that everyone over the age of sixty knows they need to do, naked or not. Exercises that “Coach” tried to teach in gym class, the lessons that were somehow symbolic and meant to build mental character, the one’s no one should ever take lightly or be brushed aside like an annoying Notom gnat.

Things happen for a reason, that is why we have to take a course, or two, maybe three times, in statistics before we can advance to the second grade. Statistics does not discriminate, just ask Donald Trump.

Confessing to be a slow learner at sometime or another in one’s life should never be a hurdle that makes someone hesitate to at least try and jump over, or something anyone living should be ashamed to admit. It is like puberty and middle age; everyone is going to get a chance at it, if they are lucky. No body is perfect, that is why there are computer geeks, lawyers and Sunday school teachers, not necessarily in that particular order.

Take the “computer geek” for an example, he / she, is / was, that shy intro-

vert wearing horned rimmed glasses that sat in the far corner of your pre-algebra class.

She / He is the only one that always knew the difficult answers to differential equations of the most important kind, or what phase the moon would be in the night sky on June 6th 2015, while in fifth grade, in 1982, and a constant recipient of locker room pranks. Lets call him Leonard.

For most born in the fifties and early sixties the computer age was something they never saw coming because all they had on their minds at the time were popsicles and “Leave it to Beaver”, throw in an a episode or two of “Patty Duke” and you could almost make your afternoon last until supper.

On the other hand, Leonard’s adoptive parents and the one sister he ever knew could always find him in his dark basement room, fussing over a barely readable slide rule that his dying Grand Daddy McDoogle once gave him. Or the rest of the time leaning in way to close to his so called chemistry set, uncontrollably coughing.

In the back of Leonard’s mind somewhere he had only heard bits and pieces about the bouncy blonde Patty Duke, and figured she was just some fictitious female character in third hour girls gym class that the other boys at school all drooled over.

Life progresses, your parents were really, really happy to see you graduate high school, so much so in December of your senior year they gave you the name of an armed forces recruiter, or low cost hair styling school for

The Poet Life

Christmas, in Kalamazoo.

Somehow Leonard, in the mean time, out of the blue, wins an all expense paid trip on the “Scholar Ship”, a luxury cruise to of all places Massachusetts with a seaport of sorts called MIT, who ever would have thought? All the while all you can think of on your daily drive home from the Tooele toilet paper factory while listening to Dwight Yokum, is another delicious micro waved Swanson’s meat loaf and powdered potato dinner and the semi-cold can of Budweiser beer you just remembered that had rolled under your car seat? And then like one of those epiphanies you saw once on the public TV station you realize it is Thursday night and you are fixing to enjoy a mindless evening of watching Archie Bunker verbally abuse bonehead on “All on the family”, with your 12” black and white TV framed nicely in between your stinky feet.

With little fanfare or much recognition, and after a long and distinguished tenure at the MIT, Leonard finally disembarks from the “Scholar Ship”. You, well, balding / or losing hair quickly and 49, your boss finally dies of boredom and you are finally elevated to supervisor of the super size toilet paper roll division at the squeezably soft Charmin toilet paper factory in downtown Tooele. After ten years of not seeing or hearing from them, your ninetyyear-old parents finally get around to sending you a used Hallmark congratulations card from Sun City, AZ, nine months later.

Fence Lines

by Ray Conrad

Being a cowboy poet is kind of hard at times.

You can't think in common sentences. You have to create in rhymes.

You can't just tell a story, 'though you know lots of those.

You got to get the rhythm right. Who needs cowboy prose?

You see this country geek up here with a 4x Stetson bonnet.

Reading manure poetry, not some Shakespeare sonnet.

If I employed the verbiage the cowboy would normally use, Your earholes would just slam right shut. They'd feel all, like, abused.

I try to keep the cussing down to a minimum sort of a level.

Maybe not purely angelic, but not all full of the devil.

I do all my composing on a Pentium computer.

That old machine's cantankerous. Sometimes I'd like to shoot her.

My program is called Word Perfect, to which I say perfect, hell!

I peck away the best I can, and that stupid machine can't spell.

Eventually stuff lines up right, the verses are rhythmic and straight, As long as I'm in a quiet place, where I can concentrate.

My wife, she interrupted once, and I hollered out, "Gosh damn!" at her.

"You've throwed a monkey wrench into my iambic pentameter."

tinct California garage somewhere Leonard starts his own computer company, something to do with fruit? Fiftytwo pounds over weight and counting and at the insistence of your 95-pound nagging third wife or crawfish looking weight lifting husband, you reluctantly sign up for a beginner’s yoga class at the Tooele YWCA in an attempt to ease your sadistic sciatic nerve pain. Leonard plays a rugged game of handball and gets sweaty with his nerd pals at some swanky facility in Dallas, Texas, then does it again that afternoon in another up scale place in Philadelphia. Sorely after a 10 minute YWCA work out, and thinking seriously about a fourth wife or fifth husband, you slowly limp to the rear of the parking lot to your 79 Buick Electra.

Leonard gets an urgent personal call from an old geezer by the name of Buffet, Leonard thinks it is a prank call from the ”all you can eat place” on the corner of fourth south and ninth east called Golden Corral? Leonard ignores the call and checks his stocks on an early flip phone as he orders a double espresso de-caffe latte deluxe at a bagel bakery on ninth and ninth.

You, you slowly drive the mile long loop at the Flamingo mobile home park in Magna, ten times, while slamming a six pack of semi- warm Bud that you picked up off the floor at the corner Maverik on your way home from your exhaustive ten minute YWCA workout. You, knowing good and well that wife number four or husband number six is silently waiting with the proverbial cast iron frying pan to hit you up side the head when you come through the trailer house door.

Leonard marries some Kardashian type chick, or a Natalie Wood look alike, he is happy, who wouldn’t be happy with a Natalie Wood look a like. Leonard has been in love with her image since he was ten.

Back to the moral of this story, “Never put all your eggs into one basket”.

“No doubt in this day and age of the quadra mega computers, everyone has heard of the adage, back up, back up, “I really mean it” back up your data.” If you haven’t or don’t, all of your photographs past and present, videos and special life memories will, with out constant care, eventually occupy a space about the size of a cast away Campbell tomato soup can at the Long Hollow Wayne County dump, just site outside of downtown Loa. In your underwear watching some Sunday morning talk show there is Leonard strongly stressing the “back up” your data theory as he and his wife Esmeralda DelaMarcos se’ senorita, sip Siamese citrus drinks of sarsaparilla somewhere in Singapore.

“Back up”, means retaining multiple copies of your digital memories that are sometimes haphazardly stored in one bulging file folder on your 80’s computer. Things like your family pictures, bank account information, intimate emails from a secret admirer in rural South Carolina, job résumé’s, your wishful thinking Masters dissertation and in general your digitally recorded life. And never, and Leonard says, “Never put all your eggs into one basket” which in Leonard terms means at a minimum of at least two digital storage type devices, like a dependable external hard drive, or online digital storage service like icloud, or to someone like Ralph, the super size toilet paper roll supervisor, at the toilet paper factory in Tooele, it would be something like ifruitoftheloomunderwear.com. “Don’t delay, back up your computer data today.”

Practical Money Matters

Looking for Work?

Plan a Money-Smart Job Search

by Jason Alderman

A successful job search goes well beyond snagging the title and the paycheck.

From the day you start looking until the day you're hired, there are strategic and financial issues to consider that may be more valuable to you in the long run.

To start, job seekers should always begin with a plan to promote themselves both in person and online, and some aspects of that process may be tax deductible. Keep in mind that if you are already employed, you may want to consider certain timing and legal issues that will define how and when you search. And finally, taking the job requires a close look at benefits.

It makes sense to discuss any potential job search with a qualified financial advisor who can evaluate your current financial circumstances as well as offer tips on how to strengthen your preparations for retirement and other goals.

Start with market research and improving your public profile. A recent Jobvite study notes that Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn profiles are the ranking social media options reaching employers and for industry hiring and pay projections, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' (BLS) Occupational Outlook Handbook (http://www.bls. gov/ooh/) is a wide-ranging and constantly updated online resource for that data.

Check your credit reports. Remember that many employers screen applicants' creditworthiness as part of their candidate review. Go to AnnualCreditReport.com (https://www.annualcreditre-

port.com/index.action) for free access to reports from the three major credit agencies – Experian, TransUnion and Equifax – to check for potential errors or credit negatives you need to repair.

Evaluating search expenses and potential tax savings come next. Here are a few of the current rules listed by the IRS (http://www.irs.gov/ uac/Newsroom/Job-HuntingExpenses). Make note that your current job status will affect how the rules apply to you: • Expenses may qualify as deductions only for a job search in your current line of work. You won't be able to deduct expenses for a job search in a new occupation.

• You can't deduct job search expenses if you're looking for a job for the first time or if there's been what the IRS calls a "long break" between your last job and beginning your search for a new one.

• If you travel to look for a job in a qualified job search, you may be able to deduct the costs of all or part of the trip.

A job search is always a good time to revisit current budgeting and savings goals.

For example, you might want to do more specialized budgeting (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/calculators/ budgetgoals) as you aim for a particular salary offer.

You'll also want to consider the timing of your search to exhaust benefits you've earned at your current employer. You will see many employees schedule a job search after annual bonuses are paid

or after they're able to spend out in tax-advantaged Health or Flexible Spending accounts (HSAs or FSAs) for qualified health care, dependent care or other approved benefits. Also, before you start applying, it might be worthwhile to review confidentiality or non-compete agreements you signed at the time your current employer hired you in case those agreements might restrict any element of your search.

Sometimes job offers distract workers from taking a thorough look at the value of potential benefits (http:// www.practicalmoneyskills. com/employerbenefits). You may not get all the details until your actual starting date, but see whether your future employer's human resources department can share details of the health, retirement or taxadvantaged benefits programs they offer. Above all, find out how soon you'll be eligible to sign up for your new employer's 401(k) retirement plan.

Finally, touch base again with your financial advisor before you accept to make sure you've got all the information you need. You will need to do parallel retirement planning if you are to retire successfully, and qualified advisors can also assist with transferring previous-employer retirement assets and suggestions on ways to use other work-related benefits efficiently.

Bottom line: When searching for a new job, go beyond the paycheck issues to research tax and benefit issues that can make a good job a great one.
