Local Entrepreneur Finds New Success Promoting Southern Utah Wine Culture

INsIder

Hatch resident Tony Dinges, Operations Manager and Vice President for Sales and Marketing at Cedar City's IG Winery, with some award-winning wines in the winery's tasting room.

CEDAR CITY – Tony Dinges may very well have the rarest job in Southern Utah.

Each work day—5 days a week in summer, 3 days in winter—he commutes over Hwy 14 from his home town of Hatch to Cedar City. Just a couple blocks off the main drag, he’ll pull into the driveway alongside the Iron Gate Inn, where, tucked in the back in what looks like a stately gate house, is southwestern Utah’s only commercial winery—IG Winery.

“My official title is vicepresident of sales and marketing,” said Dinges. I’m the

tasting room manager, but I do everything from making sure employees provide a great experience for our guests to loading trucks with wine going out.”

On a Tuesday afternoon in late May, Dinges was actively trying to track down a driver who seemed to have lost his way between two stops in Napa, California, while picking up juice from other wineries. This piece of information, along with the numerous awards on the walls, suggests right off the bat that IG wines appeal to both wine connoisseurs as well those simply interested in a unique experience

“We source juice from all up and down the west coast,” said Dinges. Juice is brought back to Cedar City for barreling from premium wine regions, such as Horse Heaven Hills, in Washington, Rogue Valley in Oregon, Napa, Sonoma, Paso Robles, and all over the Sierra foothills— Madera and Lodi, in California.

Perhaps it’s the California connection that has helped Dinges move easily into wine culture.

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day

SOUTHERN UTAH Every year an estimated 5 million older Americans are victims of elder abuse, neglect, or exploitation. And that’s only part of the picture: Experts believe that for every case of elder abuse or neglect reported, as many as 23 cases go unreported.

With such a complex issue, there is only one way we can address it: United together.

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) was launched on June 15, 2006 by the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse and the World Health Organization at the United Nations.

The purpose of WEAAD is to provide an opportunity for communities around the world to promote a better understanding of abuse and neglect of older persons by raising awareness of the cultural, social, economic and demographic processes affecting elder abuse and neglect.

In addition, WEAAD is in support of the United Nations International Plan of Action acknowledging the significance of elder abuse as a public health and human rights issue. WEAAD serves as a Elder Abuse Cont'd on page 9

Thank you, Royal's Foodtown

Hello to Tammie and everyone in the produce department at Royal's Foodtown!

We can't thank you all enough for your patience in listening to our wishes for more "organic produce" selections in the market.

And you have surely delivered!!

On my last visit this week, I found organic potatoes, cauliflower, beets, asparagus and of course strawberies--just to name a few.

I was excited and inspired to head for the kitchen right away.

We realize that with the small population of customers you have, it is a big, big deal for you to take a chance with these more costly items. Organic shoppers, please head for Royal's so that we can all continue to enjoy delicious, pesticide-free produce right here in Wayne County!!

Many thanks again, Diane Barrett, Torrey

Letters in my head to litterers...

Dear Norm McKee, (Re: Op Ed: "Respect America," June 9, 2016) I couldn’t agree with you more. I have often written letters in my head to people who litter, while picking up their trash on my own (county) dirt road. Unfortunately, I have to say that they were not nearly as nice or encouraging as yours. You said it much better. Residents rightly think of this area as their own, but I would ask, would you drop trash on your mother’s or grandmother’s living room floor? Would you drop trash in your church? In your office? Well, this beautiful land ultimately belongs to God, or Heavenly Father, or whoever your personal supreme being is. You are walking in God’s living room. So, could littering be more disrespectful? I think not.

Lynda Marcks, Panguitch

Our right to voice our opinion

To say Mr. Tolbert's letter in the June 9th Insider is disingenuous is to be overly kind.

Judi and I have lived in Wayne county for over twenty years and have listened to this same tired argument since we arrived: "You city-folk are always trying to ruin our way of life here." No, Mr. Tolbert, we are not. What we are doing is buying the properties you are selling so that you can buy that new pick-up, purchase more livestock, remodel your home, or put your child through school. We are substantially increasing the property tax base in our county so that your cost of educating your children is reduced.

And we are patronizing the local merchants, lumber mills and construction companies so that these businesses can continue to thrive and provide the local employment so important in keeping families together.

We have not come here to take your jobs or change your culture. We have not come here to restrict your ranching or your farming; we have come here because of it. We have come here to live out our lives quietly in the peace and serenity of a truly magnificent rural environment. We have come here because we liked what we saw and the people we met. We have no wish whatsoever to change any of it. Why on earth would we?

What we do insist upon, however, is our right to voice our opinion, individually and collectively, when we perceive our county officials and others may be acting to establish a known health hazard in our midst, an undertaking that will most certainly substantially reduce the quality, and likely the length, of life for hundreds of local residents. Needlessly.

How, Mr. Tolbert, is this in any way intrusive of your right to enjoy your chosen lifestyle or to alter the culture you so value?

Richard W. Teasdale, Torrey

Because we love it here...

Mr. Tolbert bases his June 9 letter on some specious assumptions. He thinks the "newcomers" are protesting the Teasdale gravel pit because they don't like living here. The exact opposite is the case; we are protesting it because we love it here. We are protesting the disruption and despoilment of all the reasons we moved here in the first place.

Furthermore, we don't want to change you or your way of life. We understand times and communities change; we just don't want change that harms or disrupts our lives this much. We are not ignorant of where this gravel pit is located; I can see it clearly from my dining room window.

Finally, we do not believe, as he suggests, that Brown Brothers is the cause of division in the county. We have always supported their right to pursue business opportunities and we don't hold this situation against them. Rather, we blame the county and SITLA for imposing an incompatible industrial use on a growing residential community in the county, which SITLA acknowledged in its 2006 report to Wayne County.

Clearly there are changes occurring in rural communities, as old patterns shift under new market pressures. But this evolution is caused by country-wide and global forces, not by a couple hundred Wayne County newcomers. The sooner "old-timers"understand these realities, the sooner they can drop resentment and start looking towards the future. As the old saying goes, every problem is an opportunity. Or, as a recent novelist wrote, "If we want things to stay as they are, things will have to change."

Bill Barrett, Torrey

Dismayed about perception

Mr. Tolbert, First, I want to thank Erica Walz, editor of the Insider, for her excellent reporting on what has become an unnecessarily contentious issue in Wayne County; the Teasdale gravel pit. Second, I am dismayed that a perception exists that we "move-ins" (those not actually born in Wayne County) are hostile toward the "locals." This has certainly not been my experience throughout this process. No one I know harbors any hostility toward anyone else's heritage, livelihood, the mining or use of gravel, the Brown Brothers company, the Planning and Zoning folks, or the County Commissioners. My neighbors' and my concern is about location of the pit. Period. Please do not imagine that this concern arises from any other sentiment.

Veronica Egan, Teasdale

Strange and perplexing

Dear Editor: It doesn't matter whether you like or don't like the idea of a gravel pit when you find out that your county commissioners just set a very disturbing precedent by waiving their right to decide zoning issues on SITLA properties within your county.

Although not required to do so by law, SITLA has committed to respect the zoning ordinances of counties and towns in whose jurisdiction its properties lie. It has a long history of deferring to local authorities on zoning issues before deciding to grant leases on its parcels. But our Wayne County commissioners, apparently at the behest of The Utah State Association of Counties, decided to relinquish their right to weigh in on zoning matters where SITLA property is concerned.

This seems very strange and perplexing. Why would a county NOT want to hold onto its power to make those kinds of critical decisions that are meant to be protect the well-being of its citizens? I can not think of any good reason. Can you?

Wayne County Bike Path Underway

The Wayne County Bike / Pedestrian path steering committee Nycole Durfey, Wayne County Travel Director and Adus F. Dorsey II Wayne County Economic Development Director with the blessing of the Wayne County Commissioners, Newell Harward, Stan Wood, Dennis Blackburn and Michelle Williams, past Wayne County Economic Development Director are proud to announce that the five plus years Wayne County Pedestrian / Bike path project, from the junction of scenic Highway 12 through to 300 East (the dump road) in Torrey is positively on schedule.

Wayne County has (over a five year plus period of time) diligently procured all planning, engineering and long sought after state and federal funding for this exciting and much needed project. A tentative completion date for the first phase from the junction of Highway 12 through to 300 East (the old dump road) in Torrey is anticipated by September 2016, complete with a trail ribbon cutting ceremony that will hopefully include Michelle Williams and National Park Service Rivers and Trails funding guru Marcy Demillion.

Garfield County Selects Engineering Firm for Hole-in-the-Rock Road Rehab

Garfield County has selected JViation (formerly Creamer and Noble) out of four engineering firms that submitted bids on a project to rehab 16 miles of Hole-in-the-Rock Road, from Hwy 12 down to the Kane County line. Brian Bremner, Garfield County Engineer, says the project goal is to resolve drainage issues, as well as road elevation problems from years of blading.

“In my view it’s going to look a lot nicer,” said Bremner. “Right now, it’s like a luge run. This will take it out of its ‘canal’ condition and make it more level with the surrounding landscape.”

Bremner says that in recent years that with increased traffic on the road, the county is now blading the road up to 17 times a year. A decade or so ago it only needed blading four or five times per year.

The county has received grants of $340,000 over two fiscal years to do the engineering work, and another $1.7 million for construction during 2020. Construction is to include new culverts, taking down roadside berms and evening out the road elevation. The project will also evaluate various materials for road stabilization.

Bremner says that over the course of the next six months JViation will develop a preliminary design, and the county will sit down with BLM and determine what environmental process is appropriate for the design.

Arts in the Park is a Huge Success

TORREY - Once again, the Entrada Institute, Utah Watercolor Society, and Capitol Reef National Park have partnered to connect people with the arts and share the beauty of the natural world with others. They also share a passion for preserving the past including the many historic structures the watercolorists painted during the 2016 Arts and the Park event.

This year Plein art watercolorists were encouraged to explore and create art based on historic buildings found throughout Wayne County.

They were each given a booklet containing 22 buildings from Fremont to Hanksville.

To download this booklet, go to http://goo.gl/Yid0z9. Becky Pace of Teasdale purchased a watercolor of the Old Bicknell Relief Society Building painted by Kent R. Baker of Logan.

Becky noted that her grandmother Dora Meeks Morrell was active at this building that is now known as the Bicknell DUP. Paintings of the Nielson grist mill, Torrey DUP, and Fruita schoolhouse were also popular at the art auction.

Some artists noted that the beauty of Wayne County extends from the day into the night. Capitol Reef National Park and the Entrada Institute are partnering on night sky initiatives that help make the public aware of the heritage of our dark skies and ways to preserve them for future generations. As part of promoting Capitol Reef National Park’s status as a Gold Tier International Dark Sky Park, they are working to extend art, outdoor recreation, and education into the night.

According to Capitol Reef National Park Superintendent Leah McGinnis, art has special meaning for the National Park Service. In her talk at the Arts and the Park

"The Toughest”

by Caib Brian

People often talk about Who's the toughest of the bunch They think that cause they're muscled And can throw the hardest punch That they can beat anyone And throw them in the dirt But strong and tough are different Tough's how well you handle hurt As they think that they are strong The just assume that they are tough But just let me tell you now This is all a bunch of guff I've seen big ol’ muscled men Who's gotten a little pinch And they almost always tend To have more than just a flinch

event on Saturday June 4, 2016, she stated that “in the 1800’s when early settlers traveled to the west after having seen some incredible landscapes, they tried to describe the indescribable through stories, but the grandeur of what they were seeing was lost in these descriptions. Then, in 1871, Thomas Moran was invited, along with photographer William Henry Jackson to join a 40 day survey expedition. For the first time, Americans and Europeans got their first look at some spectacular sites. Moran’s paintings and watercolors were able to capture the diversity and extravagant colors of the western landscapes in a way that captured the imagination of the nation. Through Moran’s paintings and Jackson’s photos, their combined creative vision transformed barely believable stories into visions

of beauty worth protecting.

Their work is often credited with persuading Congress and President Ulysses Grant to establish Yellowstone as the 1st National Park in 1872. Without art would we have had a Yellowstone, a Grand Canyon, a Zion or a Yosemite?”

McGinnis also noted that since the late 19th century artists have continued to influence the protection of these treasured lands. Artist such as George Catlin, Karl Bodmer, Thomas Hill and others have contributed to our understanding of these special places.

Today, artists continue to visit the 411 NPS sites.

On Saturday June 4, art enthusiasts participated in the third annual Arts and the Park silent auction. Proceeds from the sales were divided among the artists, the Entrada Institute, and the Capitol Reef Natural History Association.

Hell, they will just holler out And let all the world know That they have just barely Stubbed their poor little toe I've also seen little men That can barley lift a twig And they will loose half their hand But they'll say it's nothin big As a cowboy you are taught To just deal with the pain No matter how bad it feels The hurt you've got to contain This is the way that I have been raised I'd like to think I'm pretty tough And I could probably handle If the goin’ gets pretty rough As far as being toughest That title I can not take If I would take that title Then that title would be fake No cowboy could take that title If he thinks at all like me Cause here in my thoughts I think The toughest in the bunch would be The cowgirl cause she's been raised And she also has been taught In the same way as the cowboy With the lesson that ain't forgot She's got to be the toughest This much I will say is true Cause along with what she has been taught She puts up with the cowboy too

Snow College Program Receives National Science Foundation Mentor-Connect Initiative Funding EPHRAIM - The Snow College Agricultural Department has been awarded funding from the National Science Foundation Advanced Technological Education program funding, allowing the college to create a new Agricultural Mechanics Program.

The program will offer two certificates and a oneyear Associate of Applied Science Degree. New courses will be created focusing on installation, maintenance, repair and integration of agricultural equipment in addition to courses on water conservation, and applying the use of drones and GPS use in agricultural productivity. The program will also focus community relationships with local farmers and mechanics.

“The local dealers and shops are really supportive of this new program,” said Jay Olsen, Director of the Farm and Ranch Management Program. “Many of these shop owners and mechanics are going to sit on our advisory board and help us create a program and will prepare these students to be skilled and successful.”

There will also be a significant focus on a high school to college to career pathway through the program, including concurrent enrollment classes offered to high school students. Thirty-eight schools in Utah participate in the Career and Technical Education system for Utah schools, allowing high-school age students with an interest in Ag Mechanics to begin working

towards their degree.

Mentor-Connect partnered with Snow College in pursuing the grant funds through the National Science Foundation's Advanced Technological Education program, formed out of Florence-Darlington Technical College’s South Carolina Advanced Technological Education Center of Excellence (SC ATE).

Founded in 1996, SC ATE is dedicated to expanding excellence in technician education and increasing the quantity, quality, and diversity of Engineering Technology graduates to support business and industry and to encourage continued economic development.

Mesa Boy Scouts Clean Up National Park PAGE - More than 50 Boy Scouts and Scout Leaders converged on Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, June 2, 2016, to tackle one of the parks biggest preservation challenges – graffiti.

Troop 154, Miramar Ward, Citrus Heights Stake, based in Mesa, AZ, volunteered to remove graffiti carved into the red rocks of Glen Canyon as part of a week-long scouting adventure. Scouts were able to explore some of the most scenic country in Northern Arizona, while learning about the natural history of the area, and making a difference through service.

“Scouting is so based on adventure in the outdoors,” Graham Johnson, Scout Leader, and father of two of Troop 154s scouts, said, “it marries perfectly with getting to work outdoors in the national park and get to serve others. That’s what we really want these boys to learn, the value of serving.”

Cooper Brown, who is working on becoming an Eagle Scout and will be a senior this year at Mountain View High School, said he thinks a lot of people don’t know that carving on the rocks in a national park is wrong.

“I don’t think people do this because they’re bad you know,” Cooper said, “I think they think it’s not a big deal, but they don’t realize carving their name on a rock that’s 190 million years old, and it’s permanent. It ruins what nature gave us.”

Troop 154 removed graffiti from a popular scenic overlook where visitors can see Glen Canyon Dam and the Colorado River below.

“It was really fun being able to work with my friends in such a cool,” Mason Adams, 16-year-old Eagle Scout, and junior at Mountain View High School, said. “It’s a really cool spot where you can see the dam and everything.

Why would you want to ruin this? If you want to paint something, get a canvas.”

Cindy Stafford, the Interpretive Ranger who coordinated the graffiti cleanup, said projects like this help clean existing graffiti, but also help prevent future instances through education.

“The interesting thing is that young males are typically the ones carving the most graffiti in Glen Canyon, but here you have a nice group of energetic, hardworking boys really glad to help out even though it’s a hot day,” Stafford said. “I think they understand now how hard it is, how much work it takes, and how many people it takes, to remove deeply entrenched graffiti.”

Graffiti in national parks is any carving or painting on a surface in the park, whether it is man-made or natural, and it is illegal. In Glen Canyon graffiti tends to be carvings on the rocks. The problem is so bad, in some areas whole canyons are covered in graffiti. Park officials are currently surveying Glen Canyon National Recreation Area for graffiti and estimate there are tens of thousands of square feet in the park that have been vandalized by graffiti.

“We appreciate the educational nature of this project and the things we learned about the park,” Tom Tipton, Troop Leader said. “It was wonderful to work with Park Service to help preserve the

natural resources that belong to all of us.”

Glen Canyon National Recreation Area recently received a grant to bolster its Graffiti Removal Intervention Team, or G.R.I.T., which will seek to remove more than 16,000 square feet of graffiti in the next three years. The GRIT program is part of a community and partner collaboration to beautify and protect resources at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area during the National Park Service Centennial.

Girls take a turn during an exciting game of tug-o-war, as part of the Summer Reading Program.

WAYNE COUNTY - The Tri-County Bookmobile Library held the first Summer Reading programming on Tuesday, June 6th. We divided the children up into three groups. Our amazing story teller, Paula Pace, read some darling books… “I don’t want to be a Frog” by Dev Petty and Mike Boldt and “Stretch”

by Doreen Cronin and more!

Wayne County is blessed to have a talented children's certified yoga instructor, Olivia Clark, who came and taught a little yoga class to the children.

It was a hit with both the kids and the parents! Cody Clark joined us to make the third station where the kids played all kinds of games that they

absolutely loved! We wish to give a big thanks to Charlotte Williams, Alexis DeBoer, Elva Jackson, Heather Okerlund, Jaden Blackburn, CJ Torgerson and all the parents that came with their kids. Let the reading begin, the prizes be won and above all, exercise your mind!!! On your MARK, get SET... READ!

No Will, No Trust...What Happens?

by JeFFery J. mCkeNNa

Even if you have never signed a will or trust, you have an estate plan. Some of you may be asking, “How?” The answer is the state has a “default estate plan” for those without their own.

In Utah (as in many states), if you die without an estate plan, the law provides that your entire estate will be distributed to your spouse if he or she is alive unless you have children from a prior marriage. If you do not have a surviving spouse, the estate will be distributed to your children and if a child predeceases you, then to that child's children. If you have no surviving children or grandchildren (commonly called your “issue”), then your estate will be distributed to other relatives. If you have a surviving spouse and children

from a prior marriage, a certain amount is distributed to your surviving spouse and then one-half of the balance of your estate will be distributed to your surviving spouse and one-half to your children.

Although the state “default estate plan” attempts to represent what most people would want to do with their estate if they had done their own estate planning, it may not be what you want. There are many concerns about relying on the state’s “default estate plan.”

If you rely on the state’s “default estate plan,” your desires may not be met when you have children from a prior marriage. As previously stated, the state’s “default estate plan” provides that one-half of your estate will go to children from a prior marriage and the

other one-half to your surviving spouse. Often, it may be desirable to allow the surviving spouse to have a lifetime interest in all or a part of your estate until his or her death and at that time the estate could be distributed to your children.

Additionally, if you marry later in life, you may desire that all your assets be distributed to your children from a prior marriage because your surviving spouse has sufficient assets of his or her own.

Hopefully, you can see that although we may all have an estate plan, it is very beneficial and sometimes crucial that you take the time and effort to develop your own estate plan and not rely on the “default estate plan” established by the state legislature.

One day at the long-term care facility where I work, we had a party for one of the residents to celebrate her one-hundredth birthday. The resident was quite somber as the party began, so I reminded her that this was her birthday party. I then asked if she knew how old she was.

She said, "No, how old am I?" When I told her that she was one hundred years old, she quickly replied, "Well, no wonder I'm so tired."

Some neighbors of my parents gave them a apple pie as a house- warming gift. As lovely as the gesture was, it was clear from the first bite that the pie tasted bad. It was so inedible that my mother had to throw it away. Ever gracious and tactful, she still felt obliged to send the neighbors a note.

It read, "Thank you very much for the apple pie. Something like that doesn't last very long in our house."

What's in a Name?

My wife and I were at my high school reunion. As I looked around, I noticed the other men in their expensive suits ... and their bulging stomachs.

Proud of the fact that I weighed just five pounds more than I did when I was in high school, the result of trying to beat a living out of a rocky hillside farm, I said to my wife, "I'm the only guy here who can still wear the suit he wore when he graduated."

She glanced at the prosperous crowd, then back at me and said, "You're the only one who HAS to."

My husband, Daniel, had been promoted to a newly created position. He was eager to find out what his official title was, so when his business cards finally arrived, I was surprised that he seemed reluctant to show me. After some persuasion, Daniel gave me a card, naming him director of product efficiency.

"Wow" I responded, "That sounds impressive.

"Not really," Daniel replied as he removed my thumb from the acronym underneath.

It read DOPE.

Today's Thought

You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar, assuming you want to catch flies.

Blushing?

I was working in the sun all day, putting finishing touches on a new deck outside my house. My sister pulled into the driveway, greeted me, and looked over my work.

"Wow," she gushed, "you're an expert."

Feeling complimented and satisfied, but...trying not to seem egotistical, I responded, "Once you get going, it's pretty easy!" She looked puzzled and, wondering if I'd misunderstood I asked her, "What did you just say?"

She replied, "I said, your neck's burnt!"

Here Kitty!

One night while I was cat-sitting my daughter's indoor feline, it escaped outside.

When it failed to return the following morning, I found the beast clinging to a branch about 30 feet up in a spindly tree. Unable to lure it down, I called the fire department.

"We don't do that anymore," the woman dispatcher said. When I persisted, she was polite but firm. "The cat will come down when it gets hungry enough."

"How do you know that?" I asked. "Have you ever seen a cat skeleton in a tree?" she said. Two hours later the cat was back, looking for breakfast.

OBITUARIES Deanna C. Maxfield 1942 - 2016

BICKNELL - Deanna Chappell Maxfield passed from us suddenly and peacefully on Memorial Day, May 30, 2016 with many family members by her side in Bicknell, Utah.

Deanna was born Sept. 10, 1942 in Loa, Utah, a daughter of Blain Mansfield and Katie Fearl Webster Chappell. After graduating from Wayne High School, she immediately immersed herself in formal beautician training in Salt Lake City. While attending classes at BYU, and working in the Mademoiselle Salon in Provo, she met and married her husband, Frank LaMar Maxfield, in the Manti Temple on Nov. 25, 1964. Subsequently, she owned and operated her popular salon “Deanna’s Curls ’n Things” in La Mesa, California, which continues to bear her name.

Noted for her lifetime love of hairdressing and dedication to her craft, she finally retired after 57 years in the profession and held simultaneous beauty licenses in four states.

An active member of the LDS Church, she held various positions as Cub Scout and Valiant Miss leader, librarian, Primary president and Relief Society counselor. But above all, it was the love she showed her family that was most remarkable and special, and she will always be adored by her husband and two children.

Deanna will always be remembered by family and friends for her sincere warmth, good humor, kindness and generosity (always supporting others’ needs before her own). By her life’s example, she leaves a long legacy and moral compass for her children and grandchildren to follow. No one remained a stranger for long and she would immediately reach out and engage in uplifting conversations with all those she came in contact with.

Her extended network of acquaintances could always expect cards and notes of inspiration no matter the occasion.

Before returning to her beloved Utah roots in October 2015, she lived in Pennsylvania. While there, she followed her passion for photography and undertook the challenge of photo-documenting the 205 remaining covered bridges in the state, from which she became an expert on the subject and, alongside her husband, provided exhibits and pictorial presentations to various civic organizations.

She is survived by her beloved husband, Frank LaMar; her two children, Mark LaMar and Anna Christine; her two grandchildren, Corinne Leigh and Dan LaMar; her mother, Katie; her sister, Hildred Cobia; and three brothers, Bill, Mathew and Charles.

She is preceded in death by her father, Blain Mansfield Chappell and sister, Sue Chappell Olcott Barnson.

Funeral services were held Saturday, June 11, 2016 at 1:00 P.M. in the Loa LDS Stake Center. She will be placed to rest in the Lyman, Utah Cemetery under the care of the Springer Turner Funeral Home of Richfield and Salina, Utah.

FYI PANGUITCH

June 16, 2016

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Nineteen years ago the State started the Main Street Program here in Panguitch and fifteen of the locals signed up to be a part of the program.

When asked “When was the slowest time of the summer for business”, all agreed that it was the first and second week in June, school wasn’t out in California yet. The committee needed something to draw the tourists to Panguitch during that time. Pat told them the story of the Quilt Walk, that fellow teacher at Fullerton College by the name of Larry Louder had told her and he was very surprised that she had not heard it. The few on the committee had not heard the history of the first settlement of Panguitch and it was decided that an event could be built around the Panguitch history. Claudia Crump, who was an avid Quilter and had been to Sisters, Oregon to their Quilt Festival, talked about doing something along the lines of the Sisters Festival. Pat worked with Elaine Baldwin on creating the play and the Quilt Festival was born.

Who would have ever thought that this humble Festival would have grown into the fun event that it is now?

Claudia brought in instructors from all over the Country and they brought in quilters from all over the world. Elaine has taken over the play and added many new numbers that have people coming back each year.

Many items were part of the original Festival, the Heritage Fair, Quilt show, craft fair, Trunk show, Pioneer home tours, Quilt races on Main St., Lions Club breakfast, Chocolate Fest and lately the Tractor parade. The parade had 27 vehicles entered this year and many of the tractors looked brand new, even though they are 30 to 40 years old. Wally Veater started the parade a few years ago and now his wife Mary Beth is carrying on the tradition.

The Quilt Walk Festival this season started off with the Chocolate Fest and it had record numbers feasting on the best home made candy anywhere. All of the proceeds from the evening went to the Sub for Santa fund. Brent Leach entertained the folks for two hours of great country music. Pat would like to thank

all of those great candy and chocolate makers making this event such a fun night. The next morning was the Quilt display in the gym and over 80 spectacular Quilts were on display. Diane Fullmer and Jerilu Houston have taken over the Quilting section from Claudia and their quilting classes started in the morning to a record 309 students. The Trunk show is always fun and Diane and Jerilu have a great time conducting the show.

Thursday and Friday’s Quilt Walk Plays were sold out and the new cast members really dazzled the crowds.

Many of the regular attendees thought this was the best show yet. Also the young kids all seemed to know the words to the songs and the music was wonderful. Much of the credit for how well the show does goes to Elaine Baldwin, she has great patience with these young kids and brings out the best in them. A number of the cast have been there for the last eighteen years and are still a great tradition for the play. The food was furnished

by Kenny Ray’s restaurant and was really good. Friday afternoon was the pioneer home tour and there were 5 wonderful homes on display and the crowds were really non stop for all three hours.

The next morning started off with a little rain and it slowed up the Lions Club breakfast a little, the Lions put on a great spread with a great all-you-can-eat breakfast. The tractor parade formed up at our house this year and I got to look at these beauties up close and what works of art! After the parade they were off to the Fair Grounds for their big Tractor Pull event. This was followed by the quilt races down Main St. and the Heritage Fair.

Many of the Motels were filled with Quilters and the restaurants did real good during this event. Talking to the Quilt vendors they all had record years and will be back next year. The Quilt Walk Festival is bringing people from all over the world here and they are very helpful in making the start of summer a great success and has put Panguitch on the map.

Many thanks to all the volunteers (it takes 100s to make this event work. Some of our volunteers work all year on the festival…other work 16 hours a day for several weeks before the event just to make it the success it is. If you did not help this year why not? Volunteer next year, we can’t have too many volunteers making these events possible, you are the best! Also many thanks to the City Workers they do a masterful job setting things up through out this event.

One of the missions of the festival in addition to making

Panguitch a “destination city, was to teach our children the history of Panguitch, to learn about their ancestors and the great sacrifices they made so that their posterity could enjoy the freedoms we enjoy today.

I have talked before about the advantage of advertising out at the Parks in Utah. However I think they might have created a monster. Bryce Canyon coming off a record year is up 41% this year and they are closing the entrance at 10 am and using buses only. Last year's Memorial weekend had 6,000 riders on Saturday. This year on Saturday and Sunday they had over 17,000 riders and they had to do away with the schedule routes and go to as soon as you load up head out.

The Garfield School District has a new Superintendant from the Beaver School District and he has been a long time employee there and his name is Tracy Davis. Gentle Ben Dalton will be starting down shortly to Kanab as their Superintendant.

Our new High School Principal is one of our own and it is Russell Torgersen, who teaches at the Elementary School. Mr. Torgersen has a number of children that are going to school here and he is well liked by his peers and the kids. Rod Quarnberg will be taking over Brent Judd’s position as the part time Career and Technical Education (CTE) director for Garfield and Kane County.

This week the BMW riders will hit the town and many of their events will take place down at the Fair Building.

These guys are really interesting and come from all walks of life. They were brought here

by Janet Oldham 16 years ago and they keep coming back to ride our great roads. They keep their friendships that they have made over the years and many of the riders spend their vacations going from one event to another. Many come from long distances, Alaska, Maine and Florida.

It breaks my heart to see

the Bryce Museum closing.

This is a world class museum and will be a big loss to Garfield County. Over twenty years ago when I was going to the City Council meetings to bug them for a new fire station, an item was on the agenda for the City to buy the old High School for a $1.00.

The Council decided to turn the building in to the (BIC) center (business incubation center). Ray Barnes and I were the only two at the meeting and they asked Ray if he would work on changing the rooms in the school so they could be turned into business.

They asked me if I would help Ray, (I think they though they would get rid of me that way).

We spent the winter tearing out the old gym and then wall boarding the walls, making it into a very large room. This was to be where the anchor business was to go. Along came Robert Driedonks who had a vision to build this area into a museum and with the help of some of his friends turned the room into a great wild life museum. It was nice to bring the elementary school kids down to look at animals that they had never seen before.

Robert was a dreamer and he kept accumulating animals and he always wanted a museum of his own. He purchased some land out on Highway 12 and built a large building where he turned his great museum into a world class one. Robert has work so hard to make his dream come true, I hope something good comes out of this. He will be renting ATVs and Bikes and there are some really great trails that lead away from his property.

The irrigation water started last week and the first turn will start again this year in the north end of town. The wind has really dried out the grass this year, you might want to cut your lawn at about 3” this will use less water and your grass will look greener.

It is good to be home!

Mormon Miracle Pageant Celebrates 50 Seasons

Courtesy mPNha

Tens of thousands of visitors pour in to Manti mid-June to see Mor-mon Miracle Pageant, this year celebrati ng its 50th year.

MANTI - As the community of Manti is busy with preparations for this year’s Mormon Miracle Pageant, the Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area offers its congratulations on the pageant’s 50th year.

“We congratulate the thousands of people who have contributed so faithfully to

telling the story of their Mormon heritage over 50 years of dedicated pageant service,” MPNHA Director Monte Bona said.

Just as the pageant is celebrating a significant anniversary, so too is the Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area which was signed into being

by President George W. Bush

on Oct. 12, 2006 —10 years ago.

Both the pageant and the MPNHA grew out of the desire of local people to tell the history of the Mormon pio-neers of Central Utah, of the faith that led them to cross the American continent to forge new communities in a barren landscape.

In multiple projects over the past 10 years, the MPNHA

ANNIVERSARIES

Marv & Sherma Turner 50th

has sought to preserve the heritage of those settlements, which became the towns of today’s Central Utah, and to share it with the world.

In that spirit, the MPNHA granted $240,000 toward development of the 2.25-acre Mormon Pioneer Heritage Gardens which were opened in 2012 across the highway from the Manti temple grounds where the Mormon Miracle Pageant is staged.

“The Mormon Pioneer Heritage Gardens stand as a striking example of why we received national designation as a heritage area,” MPNHA Director Monte Bona said.

“They represent what the late Sen. Robert F. Bennett said when he introduced the Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Act: ‘The story of the Mormon pioneers is one of the most compelling and captivating in our nation’s history.’ The monumental Manti Temple overlooking the gardens bears witness to the cooperation, industry, ingenuity and true grit of the Mormon pioneers. We are proud to call it the Mormon pioneer miracle on Temple Hill.”

As the pageant continues to flourish, it will do so with the support of the MPNHA which recognizes it as a unique portrayal of those early settlers and the faith that fueled their courageous colonization of central Utah.

Dinges moved to Hatch when he was 15, from Escondido, California, and went to High School in Panguitch, graduating in 1992. When asked if the transition from California to small-town Utah was a hard transition as a teenager, he shrugs off the idea. “I liked Hatch because my great uncle was a partner in the Warner Ranch--it’s by the fish hatchery.” He’d spent a lot of time there with family growing up, so he says it felt natural.

But the path to working at a winery was circuitous. Following high school, Dinges went to Westminster College, majoring in aviation management. His interest in aviation also led him to become a private pilot, but he chose as a vocation to come back to Hatch, where he bought the old “Grandma Grunts” gas station . (“A grandma grunt is another word for a slowpoke,” he noted) on the west side of the highway. He owned and operated the gas station for about 14 years, at which point he sold it. After selling the station he says that he and his wife Nikki (who currently works for Garkane Energy) “did a little travelling, and goofing off.” And for a while he worked at Panguitch High School as a paraprofessional.

Somewhere along the way, he met Doug McCombs, the owner and winemaker at IG Winery, and they began forging a path together.

“I met Doug here at the winery—he’d had it open about a year and a half, and was looking for a manager.

We started talking and he found out about my business background—that I’d had my own successful business.

I was a wine novice…not a wine expert but I enjoyed it.

He said he could teach me basic knowledge of wine,” said Dinges.

He said he was initially reluctant because of the 50 mile commute each way between Hatch and Cedar City.

“But he [Doug] also needed me not just here but in Salt Lake City and St. George pitching restaurants, and this all seemed really interesting,” said Dinges.

IG Winery opened its doors in Cedar City four years ago, in June 2012, and winemaker Doug McCombs is both humble and passionate about his craft. In a self-penned bio on the winery’s website, he says that while working as a career gaming executive in Las Vegas and knowing virtually nothing about wine, his path to winemaking started simply, with a wine tasting class followed by a weekend wine-tasting trip to Napa Val-

ley with a friend. He caught the wine bug—bad—and began going back to Napa as frequently as he could to taste wine and talk with winemakers to learn everything they would tell him. “…Until one day, something snapped, it was the day I lost my mind and proclaimed I wanted to be a winemaker,” McCombs writes.

Though hands-on with the winemaking as well as the business, McCombs still did not quit his “day job,” which at this point is working as an HR executive for the Hard Rock Café in Las Vegas. Hence the need for a savvy manager at the helm of the day-to-day operations. “It’s awesome that he has placed that trust in me,” says Dinges. “And Doug is bringing me more into the production side now…doing barreling, racking and bottling.”

One of McCombs approaches to winemaking is to

June 16, 2016 Film Festival, where they have been the only winery selected to represent Utah wines.

But visiting the winery in Cedar City is a treat, and the tasting room gets a steady stream of tourists, in particular during the Shakespeare Festival, who come for an experience that is unique for southern Utah. “‘Shakespeare’ is very much our clientele,” said Dinges. “Once people come in here and do a tasting they realize we are making premium wine,” said Dinges. “The ‘local’ movement is hot right now, and people will pick up the bottle because it says ‘Cedar City’, and then they learn that we are sourcing grapes from some good wineries, and we’re winning awards. And they come back.”

It would seem, too, that Dinges’ marketing skills are paying off. “When I started

we were selling 400 cases per year, and this year we are on track to sell about 2000 cases,” said Dinges. The winery’s growth trajectory includes a plan to move from the Iron Gate Inn’s back yard to a new location on Center Street next year, joining the row of chic eateries that includes Centro Woodfired Pizzeria and the French Spot.

For Dinges, IG Winery appers to be a pretty good fit.

“The job is a lot of fun, I meet a lot of really cool people,” said Dinges.

IG Winery is located at 102 N. 200 West, in Cedar City, behind the Iron Gate Inn. The tasting room is open Tuesday through Saturday during June, and Monday through Saturday in July & August. Hours are from 11:30am to 8:00pm.

June 16, 2016 Elder Abuse

Cont'd from page 1

call-to-action for individuals, organizations, and communities to raise awareness about elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation.

Why Should I Care About Elder Abuse? The older population in America is continuing to grow and will burgeon between the years 2010 and 2030, when the baby boomer generation reaches age 65: • By 2030, there will be about 72.1 million older people, comprising almost 20 percent of the total population-nearly twice as many as in 2007.

• The 85-plus population is projected to increase to 6.6 million in 2020, a 15 percent increase from 2010, Seniors are living longer, but not necessarily better. Potential declines in cognitive and physical functions could make them more vulnerable to victimization. Elders who experience abuse, neglect, or self-neglect face a considerably higher risk of premature

death than elders who have not been mistreated. It is estimated that elders throughout the United States lose a minimum of $2.9 billion annually due to elder financial abuse and exploitation. Elder abuse can happen to anyone-a loved one, a neighbor, and when we are old enough, it can even happen to us.

What Can People Do to Prevent Elder Abuse? Report suspected mistreatment to your local adult protective services agency or law enforcement. Although a situation may have already been investigated, if you believe circumstances are getting worse, continue to speak out.

If you believe that an elder is in a life-threatening situation, contact 911 or the local police or sheriff's department. Learn more about the issue. Visit the National Center on Elder Abuse website at www.ncea. aoa.gov.

Help raise awareness by: • Talking about the issue • Challenging injustice and ageist stereotypes • Writing let-

ters to the editor Be a friend: • Keep in contact and talk with your older friends, neighbors, and relatives frequently • Be aware and alert for the possibility of abuse • Look around and take note of what may be happening with your older neighbors and acquaintances • Ask questions and listen The baby boomers have been a generation of activists, with a demonstrated ability to create social change. The time is right to get involved by promoting community involvement and social engagement.

New Horizon’s Crisis Center has enhanced services to assist older people who have been affected by Abuse in Later Life. We have advocates in Sevier, Sanpete, Millard.

Wayne & Piute Counties who specialized with Elder Abuse.

Cleanup and Restoration of Campgrounds Near Marysvale Underway MARYSVALE - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in cooperation with the Town of Marysvale, Utah Department of Environmental Quality (UDEQ), and Crown Mines LLC, expects to complete the removal of contaminated soil and installation of protective caps at two campgrounds located near Marysvale, Utah this week as part of a cleanup effort that began the week of May 16, 2016. The two campgrounds, Bully Boy Camping Area and Fireman’s Park Campground, are located in Bullion Canyon, a former mining area that was the location of several historic mills.

“The leadership of Mayor Fautin and Crown Mines has been critical to getting this

work done,” said Martin McComb, EPA on-scene coordinator. “This effort is a great example of local interests working together to protect public health and the environment.”

Previous sampling conducted by EPA and UDEQ identified elevated levels of lead at the Bully Boy Camping Area, a property owned

by Crown Mines, LLC, and of lead and mercury in part of the Fireman’s Park Campground, a property owned by the Town of Marysvale. Crown Mines and the Town of Marysvale agreed to coordinate with EPA and perform the necessary cleanup work at the Bullion Canyon site through an agreement entered into under the federal Comprehensive Envi-

ronmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act. Crown Mines, LLC and the Town of Marysvale are working to restore the impacted areas at the Fireman’s Park Campground, and establish proper drainage and erosion control features, including revegetation, at both properties.

Restoration activities should be completed by September 2016 and the impacted section of Fireman’s Park Campground is expected to reopen for use in the spring of 2017.

The section of Fireman’s Park that was not impacted by the remediation effort remains open to the public.

Telehealth Medical Visits Now Available to the Public

SOUTH WESTERN UTAH - Parents are all familiar with the situation of being awakened in the middle of the night with a sick child. The emotion of feeling helpless with not being able to see a doctor immediately has now changed with the launch of Intermountain Connect Care®, the newest telehealth service that connects patients with Intermountain Healthcare providers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, through video and audio conferencing on the web and using the Connect Care app on mobile devices.

“This means that for many minor medical problems, patients can receive treatment from an Intermountain provider from their home or office without the need to come to an urgent care or doctor’s office,” said William Daines, MD, Intermountain Connect Care’s medical director.

Daines explained that providers can diagnose and treat a variety of conditions, such as coughs, colds, sinus pain, ear pain, allergies, pain-

ful urination, minor rashes or skin conditions, flu-like illnesses, minor musculoskeletal complaints, and gastrointestinal issues.

The cost of the visit is $49 regardless of insurance coverage. Some insurances will cover part of the fees and the service is available to use for all Utah and Idaho residents. Connect Care providers can prescribe medications and send them to local pharmacies.

If the providers see the need for the patient to visit a doctor face-to-face or needs immediate attention, they will refer the user to the nearest clinics.

“Not all medical conditions are appropriate for telehealth evaluation and treatment,” said Daines. “If the provider feels that an inperson evaluation is needed immediately, the provider will refer you to a local in-person clinic and we won’t charge you for the visit.”

One of the many advantages of Intermountain’s new telehealth service is the service is tied to the patient’s Intermountain electronic medical

record. Intermountain providers will be able to instantly access the patient’s medical history and medications during the Connect Care visit. Clinicians who meet with patients in person in the future will also have the details of the online visit available to them. That vital information helps providers track reoccurring complications and symptoms, and also access to record of allergies and note current medications to avoid dangerous drug interactions.

Connect Care also brings healthcare access to the entire state, including rural areas who have limited clinic options.

“Patients in rural areas typically have to cover long distances to see healthcare providers, so the ability to connect with a provider instantly over a video link will save patients time and money,” said Daines. Connect Care can be accessed at www. intermountainconnectcare.org or by downloading the app for Apple or Android.

Whatever it is, if someone else had to step in to help you in an emergency situation, it's important to have a plan in place so they know what to do.

A financial emergency kit is a crucial component in financial planning. In short, a financial emergency kit involves identifying and planning for potential financial emergencies that could affect you and your loved ones.

Building a successful one goes beyond sorting paperwork – it involves looking at a variety of potential situations in your life and then asking, "What's the worst that could happen?"

You will want to create a kit – a set of physical or digital documents and instructions – that can help you or someone else you trust manage in a crisis. Here are some items you'll likely want to include: 1. Estate documents.

Estate planning is really the highest form of financial emergency planning, because it addresses the ultimate personal financial emergencies – medical incapacitation or death. Would your family have easy access to this material if something happened to you? In your family financial emergency kit, estate documents would include copies of current wills (for you and your spouse or partner), your advanced directives (which instruct doctors on end-of-

life or other stages in medical care), health/financial powers of attorney (which designate specific individuals to step in to manage your money or healthcare if you cannot do so) as well as other documents that provide additional guidance for operating businesses and managing and distributing other assets you have. Make sure these documents are always current and that contact information is included for all the qualified experts you used to prepare them – estate or business attorneys, tax professionals and financial planners.

2. Insurance policies.

Being able to find home and auto policies in a natural disaster is a no-brainer, but it's important to think a little more broadly. File as much policy and contact detail as you can for any health, disability, business, life and accident coverage you have – and remember that it's particularly important to note or file documentation on this coverage at work, too.

Sometimes we sign up rather blindly for work-based benefits only to realize how important they may be in a financial emergency.

3. Tax materials. If a family member dies or becomes incapacitated, tax matters still need to be attended to. If you work with a tax professional, make sure their contact information is in the digital or physical kit (see indexes, contacts and guides, below), but it's also important to keep past returns and relevant supporting data based on your individual tax situation.

4. Investment, savings and retirement documents. If

you work with a qualified financial planner or tax expert, you may have access to a particular system that lists and track this information in an organized way that many of us don't have at home. However you plan and track your investments, it should be included in your kit.

5. Indexes, contact sheets and guides. Some people need a little guidance, others need a lot. A family financial emergency kit needs to be usable by all designated family members. Put yourself in the role of a friend or family member who's been called in to help you in a crisis. If you had to step in to settle an estate, healthcare or disaster emergency for a friend or family member and they weren't around to advise you, what information would you need to get started? In any category of information you include in a financial emergency kit, include a separate file or digital instruction that details people to call, account numbers if necessary, relevant online and physical addresses and other key data to advise that person about what's in front of them and what they should do. If you work with qualified financial experts, make sure their contact information is included.

6. Easy access to essentials under lock and key.

If you're away from home when damage occurs or if family members need to access vehicles or other spaces, make sure you have keys and access codes locked safely in your emergency kit. You will also want to ensure that your emergency contacts have the necessary access to your emergency kit in order to retrieve these materials. You or loved ones might also need access to funds, particularly cash in an emergency. If you don't have a bank account established strictly for emergencies that allows specific family members to write checks or make cash withdrawals, you should consider it.

Bottom line: Building a financial emergency kit requires some thinking, but it can help you avoid major losses and speed up decision making in a crisis. Work with people you trust to make it accessible and useful to your family and trusted individuals.
