BLM-Utah Releases Final Report on Little Valley Wash Oil Spill
Inaugural Arts and the Park, Light on the Reef Event a Sweet Success
Increased monitoring program to protect Monument lands
KANAB - The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) today released the final report on an oil spill in Little Valley Wash. The report found no immediate threats to wildlife, vegetation and water and recommended increased monitoring and additional staff training to protect this location within the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM). The report is available on the Monument website at: www. ut.blm.gov/monument. Little Valley Wash—and intermittent drainage southwest of Escalante, Utah—is downstream from the producing Upper Valley Unit oil field, which is located both on Forest Service and BLM-managed lands. Working in coordination with the Dixie National Forest, which manages the majority of these lands, and with representatives from the current field operator—Citation Oil & Gas Corporation—the BLM conducted field inspections with petroleum engineering technicians, natural resource specialists, geologists, botanists, biologists, and other experts in resource management to determine the extent and impacts of the spill. According to the final report, at least three separate events—one recent leak and two decades-old spills—deposited substantial oil residues in the wash. The two older spills are estimated to have left a deposit of some 550 barrels of oil. The most recent leak, a small pipeline spill in December 2013 that was first reported by hikers on March 22, 2014, was probably less than 10 barrels of a mixture of mostly saline water with some oil. The report concluded that the oily deposits, which are 54 stream-miles from the Escalante River, appear to be relatively stable and, if undisturbed, pose no immediate threat to wildlife, vegetation and water in the wash. An analysis of fresh water seeping over the older deposits in Little Valley Wash indicates that State of Utah surface water quality standards are met and the water poses no threat to wildlife. “We will continue to mon-
itor natural resource conditions in Little Valley Wash, paying particular attention to the quality of water flowing from seeps and the health of the native vegetation to determine if there is any long-term damage to natural resources,” said acting Monument manager Cynthia Staszak. On April 1, 2014, the BLMUtah issued a written order to Citation requiring the company to report any release or spill of any volume to BLM within 24 hours of the event, to be followed by a written report within 15 days. Prior to this order, Citation was not required to make oral or written reports for liquid spills of less than 10 barrels; Citation logged the December, 2013 pipeline leak and repair, meeting these requirements. “We recognize the age of the field and the potential for future infrastructure failures. We will be working with Citation to conduct a thorough assessment of the Upper Valley oil field infrastructure—including pipelines and monitoring equipment—that could fail and lead to another spill event,” said Juan Palma, BLM-Utah State Director. The BLM will also be asking Citation to prepare and implement a new surface use plan for the field. The new plan will be developed in consultation with the Dixie National Forest and BLM. The BLM and Citation will continue monitoring conditions in the Little Valley Wash, particularly water quality, native vegetation health and the stability of the oil deposits, and will be developing a contingency plan should the oil become remobilized or threaten Monument resources. Cleaning up the Little Valley Wash spills without causing more extensive damage to resources in the narrow, boulder-choked wash presents a challenge. At present, the best option with the least impact to resources is to leave the deposits undisturbed and to rely on natural biodegradation. Additional information and the final report can be found on the Monument’s website at www.ut.blm.gov/monument. —Bureau of Land Management

TORREY/CAPITOL REEF .N. P. - The first annual Arts and the Park, Light on the Reef event, co-sponsored by the Entrada Institute and Capitol Reef National Park, attracted professional and budding artists and a crowd of art appreciators during the June 6 and 7 event held in Capitol Reef National Park and in Torrey. Thirty-four painters registered for the plein air program, which focused on water color media, and almost 40 teens and youth participated in the event. A teen division included a combined photography and water color project, and the youth division consisted of a kite making competition. Above, works from the two day plein air event were displayed to an appreciative audience prior to auction. At right, Christopher McNey, from Teasdale, received the Blue Ribbon in the kite-making category. We'll have a full report next week on the artists and the results of the plein air competition. —Insider
Investigations Made Into Hatchtown Dam Break Salt Lake Tribune Stories, Cont'd
Flood'S Crest Imperils Otter Creek Dam Salt Lake Tribune, May 27, 1914 To Investigate Cause of Break, Says Governor Executive Adds That the State Has a Moral Obligation at Stake in the Matter. Attorney General Of Same Opinion Records of Former State Engineer Tanner of Little Value as to Work on Project. That a most rigid investigation of the causes for the breaking of the Hatchtown dam will be made by the state was the statement made by Governor William Spry last night. He said: The state engineer, W.D. Beers, is now on the ground and has been ordered by telegraph to ascertain as nearly as possible the causes which led up to the break. I have had a conference with the attorney general and the secretary of state in regard to the matter, and we are of a mind that the whole matter should be sifted to the bottom. Governor Spry also said that the dam would be immediately reconstructed and that every effort would be made to care for the losses
by the farmers. He added: The state has a moral obligation at stake. It is necessary that we supply water to those people in accordance with the contracts they have for purchase from the state. In addition, there is a moral obligation to care for the losses that have been sustained. It is probable that there will be an appropriation by the next legislature to take care of the matter. Awaiting Information. I am not informed whether the state is liable for damages that may have accrued to people not owning lands in the project or whether the state could be Hatchtown Dam Cont’d on page 3
Last week, we continued the story in our second installment of the May 25, 1914 Hatchtown Dam failure and flood on the Sevier River. Even as the flood was threatening both the Otter Creek and Piute Reservoir impoundments, investigations were already underway into the cause of the dam break. Utah's Governor Spry said he would "sift to the bottom" of the causes related to the dam failure, and he also stated that the dam would be "immediately reconstructed." (This obviously did not happen.) However, a probe into the records of the state engineer's office showed that records related to the acceptance of the dam's engineering, which should have been submitted by contractor D.B. Brinton of Holladay, were either never submitted, lost or removed from the engineer's office. Official correspondence letters related to the project were shown to have been torn from the engineer's letter-copy books. We have an additional short Tribune story from a few days after the flood that describes how Mr. and Mrs. Warren Taylor, of Loa, escaped the flood. This is our third installment of stories from the Salt Lake Tribune from May, 1914.

GCNRA Receives 2014 America’s Best Idea Grant from the National Park Foundation PAGE, AZ - Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is one of 39 national park units selected to receive a 2014 America’s Best Idea grant from the National Park Foundation, the official charity of America’s national parks. Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Grand Canyon Youth, and the Page High School UNITY Club will use this grant to connect Native American youth to their national parks by introducing youth to the ecology, geology, and recreational opportunities of the Colorado Plateau. Project participants will embark on an 8-day, 58-mile journey down the San Juan River and contribute to restoration of native plant species, desert bighorn sheep research, and learn about the area’s geology. Project participants will experience the park’s outdoor recreation opportunities by rafting flat and whitewater rivers, hiking up cliffs and canyons, and backcountry camping along the beautiful San Juan River. “It is an honor and a privilege to be selected to receive this grant. This is a great opportunity to inspire the next generation of land stewards and scientists, and prepare the National Park Service for a second century of public service,” said Todd Brindle, Superintendent of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Inspired by Ken Burns’ critically acclaimed documentary “The National Parks: America’s Best Idea,” this program builds partnerships between national parks and community, state, and other public organizations, and engages diverse audiences in meaningful and relevant ways with national parks and inspires participants to become stewards of our National Park System. “The America’s Best Idea program connects people – particularly youth – to America’s national parks, often for the

first time,” said Neil Mulholland, President and CEO of the National Park Foundation. “Through meaningful and memorable in-park experiences that highlight the natural, cultural, and historical treasures in our National Park System, we are able to inspire the next generation of park-goers.” “We want everyone to find themselves in a national park,” said Jonathan B. Jarvis, Director of the National Park Service. “These National Park Foundation grants will help people acquire a better understanding of their national parks and, hopefully, of themselves, through place-based learning and recreational activities. Native Americans who will visit traditional homelands, budding scientists who will study environmental impacts, and students from Gallaudet University who will examine aspects of the Americans with Disabilities Act are among the many groups which will benefit from the grants.” The National Park Foundation wishes to thank The Ahmanson Foundation, Chapman Hanson Foundation, the Fernandez Pave the Way Foundation, and Subaru for their generous support of the America’s Best Idea program.

Wayne County Farmers & Ranchers: Nominate and Vote in Upcoming Local FSA Election
WAYNE CO. - The Wayne County Farm Service Agency (FSA) is conducting a County Committee Election for Local Administrative Area (LAA) #3. LAA #3 includes farmers and ranchers in Teasdale, Torrey, Grover, Notom, Caineville, and Hanksville, and the surrounding farms. Only voters who live or own farmland in this area are eligible to vote. The election of responsible agricultural producers to FSA County Committees is important to ALL farmers and ranchers with large or small operations. It is crucial that every eligible producer take part in this election because County Committees are a direct link between the farm community and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Committee Members are a critical component of the day-to-day operations of FSA. They help deliver FSA farm programs at the local level. Farmers who serve on committees help decide the kind of programs their counties will offer. They work to make FSA agricultural programs serve the needs of local producers. FSA Counts on YOU: Nominate and Vote! Farm owners, operators, tenants, and sharecroppers of
legal voting age can vote if they are eligible to take part in any FSA program. Almost anyone who is eligible to take part in a county FSA program may be a candidate for the Committee. We have women and beginning farmers who are well-qualified to be a Committee Member. Please consider nominating one of them. FSA encourages all eligible producers to nominate themselves, or another eligible producer, to run for office. Nomination forms (FSA-669A’s) are available at http://www.fsa.usda.gov/elections, scroll down to the links under “Election Materials” and CLICK “2014 Nomination Form”. Also, nomination forms can be picked up at the Wayne County FSA Office in Loa, Utah, or by calling (435) 836-2711 and requesting FSA669A be sent to you. The form includes a statement that the candidate agrees to serve if elected. Nominations end on August 1, 2014. If you have any questions, please call Paul Pace or Sheila Torgerson at (435) 836-2711.

held for damages to the town of Circleville. That is a matter that must be later determined. At the present time I am of the opinion that I shall await a complete report from Mr. Beers. However, if the situation seems to get more serious, it is possible that I will go to the ground myself. The opinion of Governor Spry coincided with that of Attorney General A.R. Barnes, as expressed last night. The Hatchtown project was begun and completed under the regime of Caleb Tanner, as state engineer. The plans and specifications for the work were drawn under his supervision and the contract for the construction of the dam was entered into by the state with D.B. Brinton of Holladay, on the approval of the former state engineer. The contract with Briton [sic] was signed on July 18, 1907. A copy of the specifications for the work and of the contract is entered in the letter book of Tanner. The records of the office do not officially show that the work was ever completed or accepted by Tanner, but the record in the office of the state land board shows that the project was completed early in 1909 and was accepted and lands under it offered for sale on October 1, 1909. Covers 7000 Acres. While the project covered approximately 7000 acres, only about 5800 acres have actually been sold so far, at a price ranging in the neighborhood of $35 an acre. The investment of the state in the reservoir site, dam and other properties, is estimated to be approximately $170,000, but the loss to the state at the reservoir alone, will aggregate $100,000, the amount which it is believed will be necessary to reconstruct the dam. The contract for the reconstruction of the dam, as shown by Tanner's books, provided that Brinton should construct the work in accordance with Tanner's specifications. It was obligatory on the state engineer to place on the work an engineer to see that the provisions of the contract and the specifications were carried out. Joseph Jensen, formerly of Logan, now a resident of
Springville, was the man sent to the work by Tanner. Mr. Jensen is still in the employ of the state engineer's office, being in charge of the work on the Piute project. Tanner resigned his place after the reelection of Governor Spry, and the governor appointed W.D. Beers to the post. Working on Records. Ever since he assumed office Mr. Beers has been endeavoring to get the records of the office straightened out. Impressions of outgoing correspondence were kept in lettercopy books. Incoming correspondence was kept in other files. Estimates on the Hatchtown project were also copied in letter-copy books. Yesterday, when a search was being made for some record of the formal acceptance of the dam by the state engineer's office, it was discovered that pages had been torn from both the letter-copy books for correspondence and also those containing estimates for the payment of work done on the project. In the file of incoming correspondence, only one letter could be found from Contractor Brinton, that one being dated May 1, 1909, and containing a complaint on alleged statements he had heard concerning his work. Brinton also said in the letter that the engineer's office had been tardy in passing on his estimates of work. He sought to get money which he said was due him and added that if it was not paid he intended bringing suit. The suit, he said in the letter, would be for $20,000. Answer Not Found. Whether the letter was ever acknowledged by the engineer or transmitted to the state land board was not shown by the letter books in the search made yesterday afternoon. Owing to a controversy between the land board and Brinton, the contractor, the affairs incident to the construction of the dam were not settled until about a year ago, after Brinton had begun suit against the state to recover money alleged to be due him on the contract. Attorney General Barnes said last night that he had not yet had an opportunity of examining the contract between the state and Brinton, but that he had the impression that the
entire loss on the dam would have to be borne by the state. Farmers who own land in the project cannot file suit for damages against the state, unless they have the consent of the state to file such suit. However, it is expected that an appropriation will be made by the next legislature to reimburse the settlers for their losses. Complaint Investigated. On March 11, 1909, Engineer Jensen made a report to Tanner on a complaint that had been previously filed by M.M. Steel of Panguitch. The exact nature of Mr. Steel's complaint could not be learned because the letter did not seem to be in the state engineer's files. Mr. Tanner transmitted Engineer Jensen's report to the state land board on March 12, 1909. Mr. Jensen in his letter said that a thaw had caused a landslide and then continued: It appears necessary that a reef of heavy rocks should be placed at the rear of the dam and a layer of select dirt laid up the slope of the crest. This will give the necessary additional width required to raise the crest of the dam to its original level. I strongly recommend that the crest be raised two feet higher than the original design to insure against the waves topping the dam. The local conditions certainly warrant extra precautions against wave action. Mr. Jensen in his letter had underscored the word "extra" in the last sentence quoted in the foregoing. Tanner Interviewed. Mr. Tanner was in Provo last night and said that he had no direct knowledge of conditions at the Hatchtown reservoir. He said that his information was only that contained in the news reports from the affected section. Mr. Tanner added, however, that in his opinion the Hatchtown dam had never had a very satisfactory foundation. He said that the dam had leaked after it was first constructed, but for the last year or two the leaks had stopped and that those connected with the project had come to the conclusion that the dam was satisfactory. Mr. Tanner refused to give an opinion as to the cause of the break.

Dr. Franz Goller
How and Why Birds Sing
Dr. Franz Goller is a professor of Biology at the University of Utah. Growing up in Austria, he developed an interest in birds at an early age. Goller will explain how birds can be vocal gymnasts. For example, songbirds have two independently controlled sound generators, which allows them to make two independent tones simultaneously. This dual sound source and other specializations (such as extremely fast muscles) enable birds to make highly complex sounds. Goller will then relate these insights into how sounds are
produced to why birds sing such complex songs and discuss what birds may tell each other with song.

Tell Story of Their Escape From Flood Salt Lake Tribune, May 30, 1914 Mr. and Mrs. Warren Taylor Warned When Horse Tries to Run Away Special to The Tribune. JUNCTION, Utah, May 29.--Word reached here today that the man and woman reported to have been caught and drowned in the Hatchtown flood had escaped death in a remarkable manner. They were Warren Taylor and Mrs. Taylor of Loa. They were eating their breakfast near the mouth of Circleville canyon when one of the horses bolted, giving the alarm. Taylor managed to get them hitched to the rig and was just trying to escape when the flood struck them. Both Taylor and his wife got out of the buggy and managed to escape by reaching high ground. The horses broke their harness and got up the sides of the canyon. The water carried the buggy, blankets and clothing down the stream. The horses were recovered. Neither had been broke to ride, but Mr. Taylor managed to ride one and lead the other, which bore Mrs. Taylor. The flood situation is very much improved today. Word from the Otter Creek reservoir is that efforts are being made to cut down the supply of water reaching the reservoir and to release some that it now has. The dam is still leaking badly and is still in danger, but the engineers who visited the reservoir yesterday believe that it will probably not break. Temporary roads and bridges are being built and it is believed that within a few days roads will again be open between here and Panguitch. Arrangements have already been begun to supply the farmers on the Hatchtown project with water. A canal will be cut to supply the farmers from the direct flow of the river and a temporary reservoir will be built to store enough water to last during the summer season.

By Cynthia Kimball “They really want to learn,” I thought. Third graders. In a charter school. Like 30 of them. Eager. Every hand raised. Questions. Comments. Contribution. Jumping out of their seats. Engaged. Enthusiastically smiling and wanting to share their dreams. “Teach me, teach me, teach me,” they beamed. “Who are these children?” I wondered. “And why are they this way?” “These children are the cream of the crop,” I thought. Who were selected to be in this school. Given the opportunity of a private school that they might otherwise not have. I was only supposed to present to them for 30 minutes, but I ended up staying over an hour, yet, I could have stayed all day. In fact, I said, “How about we stay and learn all summer long and just order food in?” To which, they laughed, chucked, smiled, and said , “YEAAAAAH!” Really? Third graders responding like this? “They are teachable,” I thought. Really, really, really teachable. But what does it mean to be teachable? Humility. When you are humble, you can be taught. What is humility? The opposite of pride. What is pride? Cocky, boastful, ego, “look at me, what I’ve done and what I have” attitude. Are you prideful or humble? Do you feel like you know everything or that you can be taught? The world teaches that “old dogs can’t learn new tricks.”
Be Teachable
I disagree. “Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change,” said psychologist and self-help guru, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer. I believe when you stop learning that should be a huge red flag to you. A time to re-evaluate. One place to start is the Bible. There you learn how to be teachable. In fact, in Proverbs 12:1, you learn, “Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge:” (LDS.org, 2014). In Job 6:24, you are taught, “Teach me, and I will hold my tongue:” (LDS. org, 2014). And, in Matthew 5:6, “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst:” (LDS. org, 2014). Do you love, hunger and thirst for light, truth, knowledge, and instruction? People have saved lives, fulfilled dreams and changed the world by loving, hungering and thirsting for these things. Do you realize that if you are teachable you can learn to hold your tongue? Can you think of all the heart-ache, abuse, anger, etc., which could be prevented just by learning new ways to communicate? Church leader, Robert R. Steuer (2002), suggests three ways you can become teachable: 1. start with a willingness to be instructed.
2. put [y]ourselves into a proper frame of mind and heart. 3. be obedient to the instruction [you] receive. (LDS.org, 2014) “Becoming teachable is a process of learning line upon line. In this process we convert thoughts and feelings into actions,” (Steuer, 2002). In other words, it doesn’t happen overnight; thus, be patient. As you do, work to become like a child who soaks up knowledge and instruction like a sponge. Actually, quest for it. And even if you already know what is being taught, say, “Thank you for that information,” instead of, “I already knew that,” or even, “everyone knows that already.” Humble yourself like a child. Even become like the third graders I taught. Who wanted to be instructed in the classroom all summer long. And thought it a great idea. Albeit with food.

Soccer Coach
One of the youth league soccer coaches didn't care much for my refereeing and had no problem letting me know it. Fed up, I threatened him with a penalty if he didn't stop. He calmed down, but an older woman took up where he'd left off. "You'd better control your sideline," I warned the coach. The coach turned to the woman and barked, "Knock it off, Mom!"
Locksmith Revenge
My friend's father is a locksmith in a resort town. Once he saw a group of beach goers park near his shop and dump trash from their car on his property. As soon as they were out of sight, and walking towards the beach, the locksmith picked the lock on their car door, put the garbage back inside and relocked the car.

Attorney Jeff McKenna hiking with his son in Zion National Park
to make the will, a lawyer will make inquiries to determine and document his or her client’s capacity if there is any indication that the client might not have capacity. Sometimes a lawyer will make a video tape of the client responding to certain questions.

or other mentally debilitating diseases, to make a valid will. There have been many cases where the will of a person with some sort of mental disability has been challenged and found to be valid, often because that person’s attorney had taken special care to document and verify the client’s capacity to make the will. Of course, if the Alzheimer’s disease or mental disability has progressed to the point where the sufferer does not recognize family members, or does not know his or her own assets, he or she would be found not to have the capacity to make a valid will. When someone asks a lawyer to draw a will, it is the lawyer’s duty to take appropriate steps to determine that his or her client has the mental capacity to do so. In most cases, a lawyer does this by asking the client appropriate questions about such things as the client’s family, assets, and reasons for including or not including specific beneficiaries in the will. Because a disappointed family member might later question the client’s capacity
Harry walked over to the minister after services, "You know Reverend, I am really stuck in a quandary. I would like to attend church next week but I just can't miss the big game next Sunday. It's just out of the question." "Oh Harry," said the minister, "don't you know that's what DVR's are for." Harry's face lit up. "You mean I could record your sermon?"
I was talking to my doctor about a weight loss-patch I had seen advertised. Supposedly, you stick it on and pounds melt away. "Does it work?" I asked. "Sure" he said, "if you put it over your mouth."
Wills, Trusts, and More We all know that a person must be of sound mind to make a valid will. But, what does this mean? Can someone with a mental disability make a valid will? How about someone in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease? To determine whether someone has capacity to make a will, courts generally apply four criteria of capacity that must be satisfied for a will to be valid: 1. The maker of the will must understand that he or she is making a will, and disposing of his or her assets at death. 2. He or she must understand the nature and extent of his or her assets. 3. He or she must understand and recall those persons who have a claim to his or her assets. 4. He or she must not be under any insane delusions that affect his or her judgment in making the will. If these criteria are met, the maker of the will has the required mental capacity, even if he or she has a mental disability. Accordingly, it is possible for someone in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease,
Absent from Church
There's an old dead tree by the pasture fence, A skeletal, leafless old snag. If green young pines are like lovely young girls, Well, this one's a spiky old hag. But two big hawks have been hanging out there, Redtails, if I have it right, Perched wing to wing on the topmost branch, Alert for what prey comes in sight. They knew that I watched in my telescope. They didn't seem miffed, or offended, But the last couple of days they have not come around. The relationship seems to have ended. Their hearing is keen. They have heard us talk, Of flying to Albuquerque, To do pie, and the stuffing and turque. If I was those hawks I would hit the road, too, If I had just got the word, That my neighbor and friend was licking his chops, About dining upon a large bird.

School Notes Summer Reading As students begin their summer vacations, many parents wonder what they can do during the summer to help increase their student’s success in their upcoming class. May I suggest one simple item that is proven in study after study to help your students reach academic success? Please read with your students or have them read to you at least 20 minutes each day to prevent a regression in reading levels. This student reading regression is commonly referred to as the “summer slide”. Most research indicates students experience summer reading loss equivalent to four to six weeks of school time. If you take a moment to consider students who don’t read during the summer could lose two months of reading instruction, this should be a motivation for everyone to be reading with their children. Students, who take the time to read during the summer, experience up to one month of growth in reading levels. According to a study done by the University of Tennessee, the summer reading setback is the primary reason for the reading achievement gap between children. To read more about the study, please select the following link: h t t p : / / t n t o d a y. u t k . edu/2010/07/21/ut-expertssummer-reading/ This research found that
summer reading is just as effective, if not more so, as summer school. Similar studies also show students must have continual access to reading books. I would suggest enrolling your students in the public library summer reading programs, visit the bookmobile, or if you are a high school student, download eBooks from Garfield School District’s web page located under the “Parent & Student” tab then select SEDC overdrive eBooks. Students should have a login
to access the eBooks, if they do not, they can contact Chris at the SEDC office at 435586-2865 to gain access to thousands of eBooks. Pioneer library also provides students with access to eBooks and audio books. The best thing you can do as parents to assure students are prepared to start school this fall is to make sure they read grade level books this summer. —Superintendent Ben Dalton

Summer Reading Science Program Sparks Off with Mr. T The first story hour program came off with a FIZZ, BOOM, READ! One-hundred, twenty-two people attended our story hour program on June 3rd. Superintendent Torgerson, or Mr. T as the children affectionately know him, was our science guest. He exudes an infectious excitement about science… so much that you can’t help but love to learn! The children were taught about molecules, solids, liquids, and gas with hands-on experiments that truly had the kids eager to want more! Paula Pace read some books and is always a favorite! We are grateful to have Joe Hiskey of Royal's Market to help with treats for the kids each week. Charlotte Williams is such an amazing volunteer; always willing to help make this program a success. This program wouldn’t happen without great volunteers and we appreciate everyone that participates in any way. Eighty-seven children have signed up for the summer reading program so far and hope to have many more join the fun and excitement of reading and learning about science! Amy Pace and Amberly Pace will be our scientist guests on June 10th. The USU Extension/4-H will be doing some fun science with the children on June 17th and 24th. Be sure and join the fun!

There is a building boom happening in Torrey by golly. Somebody actually bought and paid for an in-town water hook up and are building a house right in town. Not just any house but a home, built with real wood framing, a shingled roof, a driveway with a basket ball hoop and all the enmities. Hopefully who ever they are, they are in good graces and can finish their dream project before someone has the inclination from afar to whistle in the locally hungry and freely roaming Wayne County Law Dog. Under the radar and the very thought of having new property tax paying neighbors in Torrey has caused so much needed excitement that there has been talk at the post office and the Chuckwagon about hiring our favorite home town band The Adaptors, and like in the old days having a dance at the Big Apple to celebrate the big event. A kick up your heels kind of wing-ding that everybody and their kids can come to and celebrate some local down home pride. Maybe we can even try and convince our neighbors and friends in the Teasdale Fire Department to grease up their Dutch Ovens and stir us up some of their famous Mutton and Tators. An event that would have ole Dunk Taylor licking his lips just thinking about it. It hasn’t gone without notice that the only residential construction to take place in the Torrey Town limits in the last decade has been as visibly scarce as daylight sightings of the recently sued and shamed Mayor of the town. But certainly not as scarce as hard sought after mountain spring tap water is gonna be in Torrey Town if the selling of water connections outside of town continues at the present rate. If the truth were to be known Torrey Town water connection sales outside of Torrey Town as opposed to the sale of in town water connections take place at the approximate ratio of about 5 to 1. And we all know who the big winners in that scenario are, and presently it is not Torrey Town of which will exponentially be forced into a unbearable fiscal situation by the constant cost of maintaining and serving an ever demanding and aging water system that only benefits the pockets of out of town business owners and real-estate agents. Lest we ever forget the hardest of water related lessons learned by the old timers in the late1800’s in Wayne County in what is now known as Torrey Town. Not to be

Teasdale LDS Ward House undergoing demolition. forgotten were early bedtime stories told long ago that were so intense that pioneer era kids dared not wet their straw stuffed beds for fear of wasting water. Water so precious that life itself in Torrey depended on it. Not like in Loa where underground water seems to flow as freely and as abundantly as springtime honey. Without water Torrey Town would be just another coral pink sand dune with shifting four wheeler tracks as far as one could see. Although Austin’s Chuckwagon General Store and Deli would continue be an oasis in the desert with the best Ruben sandwiches from here to San Diego, and Randy’s iconic yellow blinking lights would continue to lure in the wariest of travelers all the way from Hanksville and Salina like dizzy night time moths searching for flame. But that is not the case yet and presently Torrey Town enjoys a state of the art water system thanks to the forwardminded thinking, along with a unified community vision by folks like Walt Smith, Jay Chesnut and many others. Hopefully hard fought for endeavors not ever to be let taken for granted by money mongers, the self-righteous and the greedy. On a rather somber note, the oldest burial site in Torrey, located on the old dump road south of Torrey town, containing the remains of early area settlers went without a single flower or flag on Memorial Day 2014. Although there was once past efforts to clean up, re-fence, locally pay for and maintain the resting place of those hardy pioneering Torrey individuals, those best laid plans were individually thwarted and forced into insignificance. A sad chapter in Torrey Town’s yet to be

written history book that will forever be a noticeable stain smack dab in the middle Torrey’s living room. A never to be removed carpet like stain so big that no IKEA rug can ever cover it up, hopefully a serious wrong that will someday be righted. One of the hardest things there is to write about is the passing of an era in Wayne County history; I hope I can do this sensitive subject justice. Summing up a thousand Sunday’s and a million weeknights spent spiritually growing up with family and friends in the Teasdale Ward house by an outsider, one that never knew the joy of what it was like to be the chosen one to physically place my hands on the rope that would ring the church house bell that would ultimately bring a community together for meetings, is going to be tough. Having only ever attended one or two meetings and a fire department training in the Teasdale LDS church does not or ever will make me expert on what it must have felt like to my Teasdale friends like the colorful George Coombs, Dwight and Carol Williams, Grand Ma Barbra Pace and a hundred others that weekly humbly bowed their heads in private prayer and raise their heavenly voices and sang hymns on Sunday. If you don’t already know, let it be known that on Friday the 6th of June the Teasdale LDS Church house, with all the respect that the community built building deserved from its 67 years of celestial service to the Teasdale Community was solemnly
dismantled by a noticeably humble Brown Brother’s Construction crew from Loa. Also on hand to witness the historical reverent event were visibly shaken Teasdale natives and curious onlookers. Although there was a grass roots effort to try and save the well-known and locally loved Teasdale structure by a group of concerned citizens, it was too little, too late. Certainly there will be always be the conspiracy theorist that will cry foul, but without naming names the ultimate decision to pull the plug on the once beating heart of Teasdale was not made without a lot thought, local input, and prayer, or was it done in vain. Like any loved one that ever has been committed to the grave, it is our personal responsibly to maintain their memory in our hearts and do all we can to continue to share their story. What once was shall forever significantly occupy a unique and comforting place in our hearts and minds if we truly want it to, what will be has yet to be written or can be personally understood. Breaking News; Andy Taft from Bicknell seems to be taking up a new craze, Dare Devil Driving on Bicknell Main Street. But from local reports practice runs are not going so good. Probably a wise thing he wasn’t using his wife’s car for his first run. According to an anonymous source, not willing to identify himself, aside from stained shorts “The Evel Knievil of Bicknell Bottoms” has given up on his newest pursuits and is back to tending sheep.

Pat and Elaine put the original play together with the facts that they knew about the 7 quilt walkers. Elaine has since added a lot of music to the play. There were a lot of doubters in town, whether they could actually have walked on the quilts. A couple of years ago the cast went to Alton and filmed the Quilt walking part of the play. When we knelt on the quilts in pray, lo and behold we didn’t sink in, not only that, when one of the men carried a fifty pound bag he didn’t sink in either. Friday is another big day. It is the day of the pioneer home tours. They start at 3 and end at 6pm in time for the play. It is getting harder and harder to find pioneer homes to show. Most of those who support the home tours come yearly and want to see different homes each year. Panguitch only has so many old homes, so the home tours and getting harder to sponsor. It is so great to see the architecture of the old homes, the creativity of the early builders and the present home owners. The home tours proceeds go to the Sub for Santa fund so please support this event if you can. Also this year you get a free ice cream cone at the Gem Theater if you purchase a home tour ticket. Our many thanks to the home owners for their generous use of their wonderful homes and time it takes to prepare them for show.

Yes they have still have delicious pancakes, but much more. There are a lot of events going on Saturday, starting with 5 k fun run. A tractor parade and tractor pull down at the Fair grounds. The streets will be shut down for the quilt walk races. There will be pioneer village and a petting zoo for the little ones. There is something for everyone during the four days come and participate and support all the volunteers who have worked all year to make these 4 days possible. A lot of work and effort goes into these events and it brings in a lot of tourist to the town. Big efforts go into decorating the town with quilts, cleaning up the Quilt Walk Park, setting up and taking down of the props at the play. Serving the food and cleaning up takes a lot volunteer labor, many thanks to all that have taking time to help out in this endeavor. This last week Pat and I went to St. George for a Torrance Firefighter reunion. It is always great to see your old friends. Fire Fighting is an exciting job and never a dull moment. There were sixty in attendance, in the 23 years I have been retired; over 60 of the brotherhood have died. In the early years we didn’t have equipment that would have made the job a lot safer. Many of the deaths were job connected and the life expectancy was 58 years. Forty of us went down to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon for lunch and some sightseeing and then down to Zions, where we had to cruise the Canyon, because of time. Many of them came back the next day to take the shuttle up the Canyon. I have always heard of big horn sheep in the Canyon and never seen one,
obituaries Bill Overall
ESCALANTE - Delmas J. "Bill" Overall, 71, passed away June 5, 2014 in Panguitch, following an motorcycle accident, doing what he loved. He was born March 30, 1943 in Burnsville, West Virginia to Clarence and Macel Blake Overall. He married Linda Norman, June 28, 1966 in Escalante. Bill loved the outdoors: fishing, hunting, camping, 4-wheelers, boating and Harley riding. Family was the most important thing to Bill. He was the one everyone would go to for help. He could be counted on to do whatever he could to help: fix your car, loan you money, or lend a helping hand. He was still a kid at heart and loved to go play, whether it be with grandkids on 4-wheelers and razors, or friends on Harleys, he was ready. Lets Go! He will be missed. He is survived by his wife, Linda, of Escalante; children: Barbara Ann (David) Reid, Salina; Allen Thomas Overall, Salina; grandchildren: Kisha, Kandice (Denver), Kaden, Laci, Justin; great-grandchildren: Ryker, Shaylee, Kayli; sisters: Norma (Bruce) Nagy, Little Rock, AR; Mary Garrison, New Castle, CO. Preceded in death by parents; brother, Charles Overall.

FYI Panguitch
It’s June and it must be Quilt Walk Time. This is the Festivals 16th year, three young ladies, who were part of the Main St. Committee, came up with the idea to bring people into town during the two slowest weeks in the summer. Elaine Baldwin, Claudia Crump and Pat Oetting, all brought their expertise to the table and the rest is history. The first year’s play, the main character, who did not want to practice because he knew his part, had to have Lotte give him his words, along with a couple of prompters standing behind the curtain. The Quilt classes only had 18 people signed up the first year; my how things have grown, with more than 200 signed for the classes, this year. I hope that you made it to the Chocolate Fest last night. It was wonderful as usual, decadent candy to die for and great entertainment, provided by Clive Romney with his singing and story telling. What a great way to start the festival off. Today starts the Quilt classes and it should be a great learning experience, with some high profile quilting instructors that are being brought in from all over the country. It should be a real fun time for the next three days. Jerilu Houston and Diane Fullmer have taken over the Quilting classes and they are continuing to grow each year. Jerilu and Diane are really fun and make the process something that brings people back year after year. The Play also starts tonight and Elaine keeps updating the play to keep it fresh from year to year. I think that the cast has as much fun putting on

however this time we came across a herd of about 20 of them crossing the highway, several with giant horns, they are magnificent animals. Pat and I went over to Snow Canyon, all the years that we have been going we had never gone there. It is well worth your time to go through there, there are plenty of hiking trails if you like to hike. There is a charge of $6.00 for the State Park, its well worth your time to go up there. The road is the same as that goes up to Toucan, only you go straight. St George is really impressive, it growing like crazy and the City is spending 80 million on improvements. The reunion was great and many of the attendees went on to see more of the scenery we have in So Utah. Up next is the Balloon Fest and there is much work to do there. They are looking for volunteers for the Utah Great Bike Race, like 40, so here is your chance to join in the fun. It is time to get signed up for PCM health insurance, check out the number at the Post Office. PCM is designed to give low income workers health insurance, if their employer doesn’t provide them health care. I believe the cost is $50 for the year. Those of you that feel that you will never get sick, sorry, because that isn’t going to happen. A four day stay at the hospital for pneumonia will run you 20 grand, thats a lot of money. I am watching the NBA finals and I wish they would never end. In my opinion the NBA is the only game in town. Tonight’s game between the Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs, had 16 lead changes and 12 ties and Miami ended up winning by two points and Labron James had 35 points. Baseball is fun to play but boring to watch, I don’t watch even one game a year. Football is so predictable that it is also boring. Oh well it is only four months till the start of a new season. I think this year’s finals have been the best ever, with many of the first games ending up in upsets. However our kids provide us with the best sports ever! Life is short, live it every minute like it’s your last and enjoy it. Mack O.

Utah Conservationists Applaud EPA's New Carbon Pollution Standards SALT LAKE CITY Conservationists in Utah and around the nation are applauding new standards that significantly reduce carbon pollution from existing coal-fired power plants. Last week, the Environmental Protection Agency released its Clean Power Plan, which calls for a 30 percent reduction in carbon emissions from the power plants by 2030. Dr. Brian Moench, president of Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment, says the new standards are important because electric utilities account for more than a third of all carbon pollution in the U.S. "We anticipate some short-term and immediate health benefits from this regulatory change," he says. "And we obviously think that there will be some long-term benefit." Moench says the several coal-fire power plants in Utah will have to figure out how to comply with the new carbon standards.
The EPA says less carbon in the air also will benefit public health by avoiding more than 6,000 premature deaths, up to 150,000 asthma attacks in children and nearly a 500,000 missed work or school days. Moench says the EPA may be underestimating the health benefit of cutting carbon emissions. He says the government numbers do not consider air pollution's link to cancer, pregnancy complications and other health problems. "The calculations that the EPA made in terms of the expected health benefits are not taking into account some of these well-established health outcomes due to air pollution," he points out. "So we think that those figures are actually an underestimation." Moench says having less carbon in the air should help to slow climate change, which is caused in large part by carbon in the air. —Troy Wilde, Utah News Connection

Snow Welcomes Juilliard’s Carl Allen as New Artistic Consultant of Jazz Studies
EPHRAIM - “Education has always been part of my mission,” says Carl Allen the new Artistic Consultant of Jazz Studies for Snow College. “Music is a gift for all of us to share with one another. What jazz music invokes in the human spirit is very powerful.” With over 30 years in the industry and 200 recordings to his credit, Allen has become a distinguished member of the Jazz community as the gifted Milwaukee-born, New Yorkbased drummer, sideman, bandleader, entrepreneur, and
educator. Allen served as the Artistic Director of Jazz Studies at The Juilliard School in New York City, and has worked with jazz greats such as Art Blakey, Freddie Hubbard, Herbie Hancock, Jackie MeLean, Michael Brecker, Elvin Jones, Hank Jones, and Benny Golson. Carl Allen’s passion however is in his students and his ability to share and give back through the art of Jazz. “Every generation needs someone to help them get to the next level and this is what I
am hoping to do.” In May of 2012, Allen received an honorary doctorate from Snow College in Ephraim, Utah in Humane Letters. Allen’s multifaceted career provides the perfect template for what a modern musician should be. As Sid Gribetz of Jazz Times wrote, “more than just another fine drummer, Carl Allen has it all together becoming a force in today’s jazz world.” As Artistic Consultant of Jazz Studies, Allen will oversee the direction and curricu-
lar development of the jazz area at Snow College. He will assist the school in bringing world-class jazz artists and educators to campus as part of the Horne School of Music's faculty in residence program. He will focus on extending Snow's recruitment reach beyond the state of Utah. Allen is excited to get busy with the Snow College Jazz program and “be part of the great team of people that make Snow College the place to be to pursue one’s dreams in music.” —Snow College

Job Search Tips for New Grads by Jason Alderman
To the roughly 1.6 million college graduates in the class of 2014: You have my heartiest congratulations – and my sympathies. I graduated during the early 1990s recession when finding a decent job was very difficult, so I have an inkling of the challenges many of you now face. Although the job-search technology available has changed considerably since then, as someone who is now on the other side of screening candidates, I can tell you many of the underlying principles for waging a successful search remain the same. Let me share a few: Stand out from the crowd. You'll probably be competing with dozens, if not hundreds, of applicants for most jobs, so: • Tailor your resume and cover letter to highlight education, skills and experience relevant to the position – check out Monster.com's Resume Center for writing tips. • If your work history is brief, play up education highlights, volunteer or internship positions, awards, organizational memberships, etc. • Have strong references – and make sure they're willing to speak or write a letter of recommendation on your behalf. Before applying, research the company to make sure it's a good fit. If you do get called for an interview, kick it up a notch: • Make sure you understand the company's products, services and customer base. • Examine their business structure and how your potential department fits in. • Research competitors so you understand the business environment in which they operate. • Investigate their social media presence for clues on how they interact with customers. Employers are forced to do more with fewer resources, so they seek employees who are focused, polished and willing to work hard. I've spoken to numerous hiring managers who say many candidates they see
don't convey those qualities. A few tips: • Google yourself. Review your social media footprint and remove photos or other materials that portray you unprofessionally. • Show up – on time – for interviews dressed appropriately, with copies of your resume, work samples and any requested materials. • Be prepared to answer a barrage of questions about yourself and how you'd react in different situations. (Monster has a great list of potential interview questions.) Register with job search engines where you can apply for jobs and make yourself visible to potential employers and recruiters. Popular sites include Monster.com, Careerbuilder. com. LinkedIn, AfterCollege. com and LinkUp.com. Landing a good job can take months or even years, so be persistent and tap all available resources. For example: • Contact your school's career office to see which services are still available to you as a recent graduate. Many will help by reviewing your resume, conducting practice interviews and connecting you with alumni volunteers willing to meet for informational interviews. • Build and maintain a profile on LinkedIn. Many employers and recruiters go there first when looking for suitable candidates. Also, join LinkedIn groups for your field of interest and partake in their discussions. Bottom line: You worked hard to earn your degree. Unfortunately, you may have to work equally hard to get your career going, so take advantage of the available tools – and good luck.
