Utah Business, Agricultural Producers Receive Grants for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Projects Teasdale Business Among Grant Recipients SALT LAKE CITY – Dave Conine, USDA Rural Development State Director, announced last week that USDA is investing $43,021 in three renewable energy and energy efficiency projects in Utah. “Renewable energy is a crucial component to growth in Utah’s rural communities.” Conine said. “These grants will help Utah producers and a business owner make improvements to ensure their work contributes to the economic vibrancy of our state well into the future.”
The funding is provided through the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP), created by the 2002 Farm Bill and reauthorized by the 2014 Farm Bill. REAP funding has helped farmers expand renewable energy use in recent years. The new Census of Agriculture shows the number of farms utilizing renewable energy production has doubled in the last five years. The grant recipients in Utah include: • Chad Mortensen of Marion’s Variety in Roosevelt received a grant of $17,296

544 renewable energy and energy efficiency projects is being invested nationwide. Since 2009, USDA has awarded $545 million to support more than 8,800 REAP projects throughout the country. This includes $361 million in grants and loans for almost 2,900 renewable energy systems. For the remaining 5,900 projects, USDA provided $184 million to help rural small businesses and agricultural producers make energy efficiency improvements such as lighting; heating, ventilation and cooling; irrigation; insulation and motor replacements. When fully operational, these projects are estimated to generate and save 7.3 billion kilowatt hours of electricity annually – enough to power more than 660,000 homes for a year.

Utah Cities Consider Resolutions Urging County Officials to Move Forward on Transportation Funding SALT LAKE CITY Cities and towns throughout Utah will consider resolutions this June urging county officials to put an optional sales tax for transportation on the ballot this November. Earlier this year, the state legislature authorized the voter-approved local option in H.B. 362. Once approved, the 0.25% general sales tax for transportation would fund critical local transportation needs, including more walking and biking trails, road improvements, and public transit service expansion. This is the equivalent to one cent for every four dollars spent. County legislative bodies must vote to put the question to voters on a ballot in a municipal or regular general election. The referendum and imposition apply to the entire 0.25%, but the bill states how those revenues will be allocated. • In areas without transit service, the funds would be allocated as follows: - 0.10% to cities, towns and unincorporated county areas - 0.15% to the county • In areas with transit service, the funds would be allocated as follows: - 0.10% to the transit provider - 0.10% to cities, towns and unincorporated county areas - 0.05% to the county A Utah Foundation study released in January shows that 82 percent of cities and 92 percent of counties believe that current transportation funding is insufficient to meet their communities’ needs. According to the Utah Transportation Coalition, Utah League of Cities of Towns and Utah Association
of Counties, Utah cities and counties have only one-third to one-half the transportation funds they need. The Coalition is a group of business and civic leaders working together to protect Utah's environment, improve the economy and preserve quality of life through enhanced transportation investment. “Transportation is the backbone of our economy. By enhancing and preserving our local roads, active transportation and transit system, we’ll help to keep Utah one of the best places to work, to live and to play.,” said David Golden, chairman of the Utah Transportation Coalition and executive vice president of Wells Fargo’s Commercial Banking Group. H.B. 362 is Utah’s most comprehensive transportation legislation in state history. The law provides the opportunity to local governments to invest in the projects that are most needed in their communities through the voter-approved local option. For example, communities may invest in pedestrian safety, bike facilities, road improvements and maintenance, and increased transit service. At the end of June, city leaders plan to deliver the resolutions to their respective County Councils/Commissions in person. More information on this effort will be provided as it becomes available. Several of the cities who are considering the resolution or have considered it to-date are listed below. The listing also includes media contacts and descriptions of community-specific transportation needs. —Utah Transportation Coalition

Letter to the Editor, Deciding whether or not to conduct a planned prescribed burn is not an easy decision, and it all comes down to risk management. Should the Forest Service conduct burning operations to reduce current and future wildfire risks? Should the Forest Service conduct burning operations at less than ideal conditions, or should we do nothing at all and hope that it is sufficient management? Wildfire knows no boundaries. The Forest Service evaluates the risk with a broad perspective for both planned and unplanned ignitions while considering the people we serve and the landscapes we protect. We will not take unnecessary risk, nor do we want to transfer that risk to our neighbors, partners or to future generations. As the Forest Supervisor, I have both professional and personal connections to this Forest. I grew up here exploring and utilizing the abundant resources the Dixie National Forest offers, sustaining my livelihood, similar to many people in the communities near the Forest. What is at risk? The lives and livelihoods of these communities and the health of the forest they depend upon. Historically, fire on forested landscapes was a part of the ecological process, particularly for Ponderosa pine vegetation. In conducting prescribed fire treatments, the Forest is striving to meet resource objectives by reintroducing fire into some areas. These objectives are evaluated through a public process and are grounded in science. The challenge is not typically in the science, but rather, it is in the human element. How does the Courtesy Dixie National Forest Forest Service best balance and manage risk to people, while managing for forest health? Smoke is one of the greatest impacts we have on people, communities and businesses when we ignite a prescribed burn. No one wants to breathe smoke let alone sleep, work, or vacation in it. In order to manage the duration of the smoke impacts that prescribed burns have on local communities, the Forest decided to utilize a helicopter to ignite portions of prescribed burn units which reduced the time to burn the area. By using a helicopter, fire and fuels management personnel were able to treat approximately 2,000 acres with prescribed fire in one day in the Dave’s Hollow area near Bryce Canyon City. Under similar conditions, if completed by ground crews this could have taken 10 days. This significantly reduced the duration of smoke impacts to the communities. Smoke generated from the Dave’s Hollow prescribed burning operation was particularly heavy, especially through the evening of June 3rd and into the morning of June 4th. The local residences, vacationing public and businesses in Bryce Canyon City and the Bryce Valley communities took the brunt of the smoke impacts. I want to thank the communities, local elected officials, businesses and Bryce Canyon National Park for your patience and support in the ignition of the Dave’s Hollow prescribed fire. Thank you for dealing with the effects of the smoke so that Forest employees and partners could work toward reducing wildfire risk, improving forest health and taking significant steps toward providing protection for an area economically important to the region. As the Dixie National Forest Supervisor, I will continue to strive to build stronger working relationships with the communities. This sentiment is also reflected in the outstanding and hardworking employees that are dedicated to supporting wildland fire management and to improving the health of the Forest. I am encouraged and committed to the continuous improvements we are making across the landscape. These improvements will provide long lasting value to the people we serve. I will continue to make proactive decisions for the Dixie National Forest, while working together with our neighbors to sustain for the forest health, diversity and productivity that establish resilient landscapes and fire adapted communities. Sincerely, Angelita S. Bulletts Dixie National Forest Supervisor

The Malodorous Summer Blues by K H evin
eaton
Utah State University Extension, Garfield County Summer is filled with fun filled activities: swimming, fishing, camping, hiking, and vacations. These activities are happy times for everyone until something malodorous happens. Webster defines “malodorous” as “having a bad smell”. I’m sure malodorous includes the following: a skunk under the camp trailer, the camp cook forgot about the spaghetti sauce simmering on the hot stove filling the living room with black billowing smoke, the favorite pet tinkled on the couch, uncle Leroy smoking in the back bedroom, the baby spilled its milk bottle in the back seat of the car or the kids left a fish behind the lazy boy. At these
critical moments, most people deal with the smell as best they can and try double, triple and even quadruple cleaning, most often to no avail. Rather than concede to the odor, drop the price to half value and hang up a “for sale” sign, there is one final option. If your summer fun is interrupted by an unfortunate “malodorous” event, let me introduce you to a little known secret offered by your local USU Extension Office: Neutorleum Alpha. Neutroleum Alpha is a perfume deodorant compound formulated to mask difficult malodor problems. It is used for a variety of applications including: smoking areas, animal odor control,
garbage containers, gyms/ weight rooms, locker rooms and hotels/motels. Some users reportedly use it to deodorize carpets and laundry. Neutroleum Alpha comes concentrated in an 8 oz bottle and costs $26.00. Neutroleum Alpha should be diluted. Two ounces of Neutroleum Alpha per gallon of warm water can be used as a spray or direct cleaning solution, one ounce of Neutroleum Alpha per gallon is recommended for deodorizing carpets and laundry. I remember a few years ago, the phone rang and the caller asked, “My dog got sprayed by a skunk and I can hardly stand to be around her. How do I get skunk odor off of my dog?” I responded with a beautiful sales pitch for Neutroleum Alpha adding that it shouldn’t be used for pets, according to its label. The person appeared in the office shortly and I could smell them coming. To this day, I still wonder if they used the stuff on their dog, on their self or both? For a bottle of Neutroleum Alpha, contact the Garfield County Extension Office, 435-676-1113. May your summer skip the unfortunate “malodorous summer blues”.
USDA Celebrates National Homeownership Month SALT LAKE CITY – Nationwide, USDA is celebrating National Homeownership Month in June, highlighting USDA’s ongoing role to help residents of America’s small towns and cities purchase homes in rural areas. “This year’s celebration is special because we are marking the 50th anniversary of USDA’s Mutual Self-Help Housing program and the 50,000th home built through it,” said Dave Conine, USDA Rural Development Utah State Director. “In 2014, USDA provided 124 loans to families participating in the Mutual Self-Help program. It’s a popular program here because of our state’s strong sense of community.” The Mutual Self-Help program provides grants to help organizations carry out housing construction projects in rural areas. These organizations supervise groups of very-low- and low-income individuals and families as they construct their own homes. The group members provide most of the construction labor on each other’s homes and get technical assistance from the organization overseeing the project. By working with trusted local organizations, this program helps people get affordable, clean and safe homes of their own. Homeownership provides a strong foundation to help build household wealth, start a business or fund education through home equity. Since the creation of USDA’s single-family housing programs in 1949, USDA has helped more than 3 million rural residents access the American dream of homeownership.

Throughout June, USDA employees and communities will celebrate National Homeownership Month across the state with events that demonstrate USDA’s commitment to provide access to affordable housing for low-and moderate-income rural residents. Since 2009, USDA invested more than $117 billion to support rural homeownership. In 2014 alone, USDA invested more than $19.9 billion to help nearly 140,000 rural families buy and maintain homes. Listed below are Rural Development programs that support rural homeownership: • Direct home loans for lowand very-low-income applicants. Payment assistance is provided that can lower the loan interest rate to as low as one percent. • Loan guarantees for moderate-income families. The agency works with privatesector lenders to back the lenders’ loans. • Home repair loans and grants to help rural home-
owners make improvements or repairs. Examples include making homes accessible for people with disabilities or removing health and safety hazards such as poor wiring or plumbing. To learn more about USDA’s observance of National Homeownership Month and the handful of local events planned, please contact Utah’s Rural Development State Office or one of our field offices located throughout the state.

Discussions Regarding Student Enrollment The Garfield County Commissioners held their regularly scheduled meeting on June 8, 2015. The school district was invited to present information on declining student enrollment. The county commissioners will consider declaring a state of emergency to address this issue. The next County Commission Meeting will be held June 22nd in Panguitch at the courthouse. The purpose of the County Commission meeting on June 8th was to draw attention to declining student enrollment and decreasing economic opportunity in the County. Garfield County School District officials were in attendance to provide current enrollment information and population projections to the County Commissioners. The Garfield County School District would like to issue the following clarifying statements: 1- The Garfield County School District is providing the appropriate data to help the Garfield County Commission understand current and projected student enrollment. 2- The Garfield County School District is not planning to close schools. In fact, we are doing everything we can to keep them open. 3- The Garfield School District would like to take part in a round table discussion with key congressional leaders, state senators, state representatives, and community members to discuss options for economic development in Garfield County. We encourage citizens to become informed by reviewing the student enrollment presentation found on the Garfield School District webpage at http://www.garfield.k12.ut.us/ —Superintendent Ben Dalton

Community Property by Jeffery J. McKenna
The term “community property” is a form of property ownership between husband and wife - recognized in Nevada, Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, New Mexico, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin. The other states are “common law” states. The defining feature of community property is this: Irrespective of the name(s) on title documents, ownership of (almost) ALL property - including income from wages and self-employment - acquired during marriage by either spouse is automatically split, so that each spouse owns a separate, undivided one-half interest. (An “undivided” interest is one in which each spouse has half ownership of the whole, rather than full ownership of only a specific half.) In community property states, property acquired by a spouse separately and brought into the marriage remains separate. In these states, too, property acquired by gift or inheritance, or in exchange for separate property or money, also remains separate. Commingling of assets can obscure separate property ownership, until it finally becomes community property. This often happens with checking and other financial accounts. Since the two equal in-
terests of the spouses in community property are separate, each spouse is free to dispose of his/her half of community property in a Will. It does not automatically pass to the survivor, as it would if owned jointly, with right of survivorship. The subject of community property deserves the attention of three groups of readers: Spouses who now live in a community property jurisdiction, those who now live in a common law state, but who acquired money or property while living in a community property state previously, and those who now live in a community property state, but who acquired money or property while living in a common law state previously. It is possible in some community property states for the spouses to change their respective ownership rights in an asset, from community property to separate property and vice-versa, simply by written agreement between them. In a community property state, a spouse’s actual contribution to the marriage, and to the couple’s marital property, is largely irrelevant. A spouse is, by law, entitled to half. This is true even if one spouse has worked throughout the marriage, and the other has not worked at all.

State laws vary, and these issues can be complex, so be aware that special attention needs to be given to the issue of community property, if you are affected by it. If so, it is important to see a lawyer for guidance in understanding the extent of each spouse's property rights - before attempting to give it away by gift, in a Will or in Trust. Jeffery J. McKenna is a local attorney serving clients in Utah, Arizona and Nevada. He is a shareholder at the law firm of Barney, McKenna, and Olmstead with offices in St. George and Mesquite.

As I sat in my doctor's reception area, a woman rolled an elderly man in a wheelchair into the room. As she went to the receptionist's desk, the man sat there, alone and silent. Just as I was thinking I should make small talk with him, a little boy slipped off his mother's lap and walked over to the wheelchair. Placing his hand on the man's, he said, "I know how you feel. My Mom makes me ride in the stroller too."
Whispering
One day a young man went up to the teller window at the bank and whispered, "Please deposit this hundred dollars in my savings account." The teller handled the transaction and whispered back, "Have a good day." The young man started to leave but turned back. "I'm sorry we have to whisper," he said, "but if my car knows I've deposited money, it'll break down again." With his finger to his lips he tiptoed out.
New Car Features
We were driving in my friend's new car. I asked him about its features. He listed the usual, then added, "It tells me to slow down as I approach the speed limit. It warns me when I have to stop. It points out solid nopassing lines." I expressed my amazement. "But," he explained, "these features only work when my wife is in the car."
Pizza Special?

Celery
After my husband asked me to help him shed some unwanted pounds, I stopped serving fattening TV snacks and substituted crisp celery. While he was unenthusiastically munching on a stalk one night, a commercial caught his attention. As he watched longingly, a woman spread gooey chocolate frosting over a freshly baked cake. When it was over, my husband turned to me. "Did you ever notice," he asked, "that they never advertise celery on TV?"

June 18, 2015
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Another successful Quilt Walk Festival has come and gone. Starting with the Chocolate Fest in a new venue, at the High School, had so many folks take part they ran very low on Chocolate. Brent Leach was the musical entertainment and boy was he good! Home town boy. Santa would like to thank all of those that helped out in this event and all of those that donated items to the silent auction and all the Quilters who started off their fun stay with a bite of something sweet. I am always amazed at how Santa can keep going 16 hours, there is no way that I can keep up with her or even try. Jerilu Houston reported that they had 260 enrolled in the Quilting classes and she had to add an additional 15 classes to handle the crowd. That is a long way from the 16 that enrolled in the first Quilt Walk classes. These quilters are really something not only with their art work, but with their willingness to learn new techniques. On Saturday afternoon they had to chase some of them out of the school, they were so caught up in their work that they didn’t want to quit. The Quilt Walk Play, just keeps getting better each year, with new cast members and kids that really shined this year. Elaine Baldwin had the cast peaked for opening night and things just kept getting better. Becky Henrie and Cheryl Church duet was worth the admission price. Slater Mathew and Josiah Sorles, two of our graduating seniors added a lot of fun to the play. Eric and Suzanne Palmer were new in the play and did a super job with their parts and singing. The food got a lot of compliments and it came from the Kenny Rae Restaurant. Randy Miller, Lee Mullenaux and I are the only ones left from the original cast. This is a fun event for all of those that take part. The tractor parade also is growing in numbers, with the addition of some old cars and street rods, there were 23 entries. Some of those old tractor’s motors sounded so
quiet and the workmanship on some of the really old ones was beautiful. The Heritage Village had some new activities; brick making was new and a hit, young quilters got their own quilting square to introduce them to the art, tin punch was also part of the pioneer skills. Lorena Decker had her petting zoo there and what fun that is for the kids in town, many of the kid’s rode in the handcart around the bank area. One of the Quilts racing team even had uniform shirts; they took second in the race. I understand that a group from Nevada 4-H or Church group planned to see the parks and stayed for the Quilt Walk festival instead. They were the ones in the green shirts. There were many, many Quilts on display in the high school gym. There is so much talent and time that goes into these works of art. Everyone got the Quilt Walk Festival fever, Main and Center streets looked all decked out, the pioneer vehicles around for decoration added so much to the excitement that is part of the event. Elaine Baldwin has really pushed herself this year and thanks to the merchants that added quilts to their displays to show support for this event. Cheryl Church has the down town looking really good with all of the plants. Cheryl not only puts out the pots, she also tends them, riding around on her father bike with a water tank on it. It is too bad that we have people in town that think that if something is on Main St. that they can help them self to it. Someone stole one of these pots the first day they were out there. The American flags that are put on Main St. and Center for the last four years, two of them have been stolen in the last year. I realize that these are misdemeanor crimes, if you are caught we will press charges against you and your name will show up in this column. In the background was Nick Matthews –guard and inmates from the prison working to put up the tents, quilts, stages, etc… etc. They along with the city workers are non stop making each event a show
place. Thank you for your support. The volunteers are too many to count but if Panguitch has 1500 people living here 1499 contribute in one way or another. Panguitch the Service City…How pleased we are to be part of it! The BMWs will be back in town this weekend and they will be treated to a great Lions Club Breakfast and the Panguitch Fighters deep pit beef dinner. This is another good deal for the businesses in town and these bikers are the good guys and haven’t caused any trouble in the 17 years that they have been coming here. A real family event started last night out at Bryce Canyon. It is the Astronomy Festival and no where in the world will you find such a great light show as you can out at Bryce. The Park Rangers put on a very good slide show at the amphitheater at the North Camp Ground, explaining many of the questions that you will have about outer space. Down at the visitor center, there will be a lot of computerized telescopes that can see galaxies millions of light years away. What is really incredible is all of the stars that you can see in that darkness. I hope that it will be a clear night, people come from all over for this starry, starry night show. It’s free! I am thrilled that a number of really good candidates stepped forward, for the City Council vacated seats. There are eight for the four year term, which means that there will be a primary election in August,
because there are 3 openings and you can only have two candidates for each position, so the primary will reduce the election down to six for the November election. The candidates for the 4 year seat are, Todd Breinholt, Harshad Desai, Mike Johnson, Mack Oetting and Chad Veater. All of the incumbents are also seeking reelection, Lloyd Brinkerhoff, Rick Miller and Trudi Owens. For the two year term it is Charlie Allen and the incumbent AJ Johnson and there won’t be a run off for this seat. Good luck to all of the candidates, remember this is the only part of government you have any control over. Next week is the big one, it’s the Balloon Festival! This really brings a lot of people to town to view the glow. There are events going on all weekend long; with balloon flights on Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings. Saturday morning is the famous Lions Club Breakfast and it will start at 7 am and it is all you can eat. There will be a motorcycle parade at ten in the morning and events going on all day long. There will be food venders, and tents with a lot of fun items. Bring a chair and you can have a ring side seat at our house, a lot of the time we have been lucky to have music on our corner. This is a busy time of the year for the volunteers, none of the events could ever happen without them. Many thanks to all of you, you go way out of your way to make Panguitch a happy place to live.

Thelma Bybee's Family held a Birthday party for her. She turned 84 and Sharon, Kaylynn and Paul, Kevan and Kasi, Karen and her 3 daughters, Aaron and Julie, Rosie Quicero and her granddaughter, Renon and Rick and daughters Bree and Brittney and their kids were there. The hospital allowed them to use the conference room and everyone enjoyed Thelma's birthday cake with her. We also shared the cake with the Long Term Staff. Th Family is very grateful for their loving care. It was a wonderful day. Happy Belated Birthday Thelma Bybee. Renon also said her Mom, Ferriland Ruesch, enjoyed her 90th Birthday Party and is still healthy and they try to go shopping, or do some activity every week to keep active. Congratulations to Lance Foster and Jessica Clark on their recent marriage. The happy couple will settle in Tropic and live in the old home of Earl Jolley. We wish the a very Happy marriage and a wonderful life. Lance is the son of Alfred and Toni Foster of Tropic. Congratulations to Josh Spencer who returned from his mission to Ft. Worth Texas. He spoke in Tropic today about his mission and some of his experiences in the mission field. He is the son of Boyd and Nanette Spencer of Orderville. They lived in Tropic when Josh left on his mission but moved away during. Also
speaking with Josh was Lynn Griffin of Escalante and the YM/YW sang a beautiful song. Miriam Wagstaff played a violin solo and it was wonderful. She is so talented. The Senior Citizen bus made a trip to St. George this last Saturday. There were 10 people on board who had a great trip. The temperature in St. George was at 104 when we left and at the top of Red Canyon it was 71 degrees. Thankfully. We ran into Ashley Chynoweth and Lizzie Platt who had been at the St. George Temple doing Baptisms for the Dead. Traveling on the bus was Doug Ahlstrom our faithful driver, Vicki Ahlstrom, Glenna Fletcher, Anita Fletcher, Jeff Carter, Vicki Syrett, Catherine Littlefield, Kathy Shakespeare, Louise Patterson, and Marcia Evans. The next trip will be held on the 27th of June. Contact Doug or Vicki at 679-8921 if you are interested in a shopping and/or temple trip in St. George. A successful day of making and selling Indian Tacos was done by the Young Women and their leaders in Cannonville. Going on at the same time was a "Red, White, and Blue" Motorcycle ride from Torrey to Kodachrome State Park. There was also a bunch of bicycle riders on the road at this same time. Lots of American flags out along the road they were riding on but could not find out any information on who it was doing the riding. Also the "Top of Zion" run was
going on. A very busy day for all concerned. The burn is over and people are breathing normal again. To those who told us to quit "whining" please know that those in the path of the thick smoke had a right to "whine". It was hard to breath and the smoke smell stays for a long time in your home. Unless you woke up in the night and found your house full of smoke or found that the oxygen you were breathing was not working so well in spite of the hose you were connected to that was helping you breathe, you cannot know the difficulty this caused for them. We all realize a burn is necessary to cut out dead wood but then again why can't folks gather that wood and use it to burn in their stoves in the winter. It seems like the same spot is burned each year and we appreciate the folks that keep their eyes on it so it doesn't get out of control but the smoke is damaging to people's health, especially someone with lung problems or such. We are thankful for the people watching out to keep us from forest fires and when you live in the close proximity to a forest you are bound to feel the effects of Prescribed Burning even if you are prepared for it. When the smoke gets as thick as it was for this last burn that is difficult to live with. The new Kindergarten Teacher is Andrea Brinkerhoff. She has been a won-
derful Preschool Teacher for the last few years and will be missed there and now the Kindergarteners will have the benefit of her expertise. Welcome to the Elementary at Bryce Valley, Andrea. Speakers in Henrieville today were Alex Christensen of Escalante 1st Ward who just returned from a mission to Uganda and Ethiopia and he gave a great talk. Also speaking with him was Eric Syrett. It is time to try out the summer time drive up restaurants. Kevin's BBQ in Cannonville is open and happy to serve you. It has been rumored that one of the favorites is the Nacho's with your choice of meat.

OBITUARIES
Beason Lewis 1836 - 1902 by Adus F. Dorsey II JUNE 15, 2015 - Driving east on highway 24, about a minute before mile marker 70, right where the highway makes a slow sweeping turn to the north, there is a trail of a road going straight east that has the appearance of being ancient. It is curious looking and something about it makes you want to pull off of the highway and see if someday you might try and find the end of it. At first and if it is late afternoon with the sun to your back, looking out across the Beas Lewis Flats it is as if the ground is littered with diamonds. Upon closer investigation you realize it is only green glass in an area just outside of town that was once used as a local dump. Only now most of the skinny Prince Albert tobacco containers and cowboy can artifacts have been gathered up by the traveling curious and are only rusty western reminders and trinket-like treasures from the 1930’s, stoically stored on someone’s Hainesport fireplace mantle or a guest bedroom windowsill in Williamsburg.
Local lore has it that long about 1875, Beason Lewis, along with A.K. Thurber, were the earliest known cowboys to run church cattle in the area. Chronologically some historical publications seem to connect A.K. and Beason at the hip. But Beason Lewis actually didn’t show up in Rabbit Valley with five hundred head of church cattle until a year or so after A.K. Thurber had already found a nice patch of ground in the middle of Rabbit Valley and fondly called it Thurber because it had a good ring to it. A.K. Thurber was the first to build his house south of the river in Thurber and when Beason arrived, Beason immediately began to build a four-room cabin on ground at the head of Government Creek. According to LDS Stake records Beason also built some “Old Order Houses.” Beason didn’t last all that long in Thurber and resettled his family in what is now known as Fish Creek, and continued on into the middle 1880’s herding about 600 – 800 head of church cows.

How the deep rutted canyon country east of highway 24 finally became known as Beas Lewis Flats surely had to be on a long list of controversial subjects that in the early days crusty old men discussed in depth, over many cups of coffee, while sitting on well-worn wooden benches in front of the Wayne Umpire. But these days it would be surprising if the subject ever gets as much as a mention by anyone delicately sipping double duty latte’s, straddling $5,000.00 pedal bikes at UG’s mini mall. Beason Lewis was born on Feb. 19, 1836 in Carlinville Macoupin County Illinois, the product of Tarlton and Malinda (Gimlin) Lewis. Tralton was the first Bishop of Salt Lake City and every other town he ever lived in and was an acquaintance of A.K. Thurber. The Lewis’ were all of sturdy pioneer stock and excellent coopers, they were known all around for their quality handmade barrels and wooden buckets, and were purveyors of fine stock animals. They were better suited than most for the treacherous trek across the plains in 1847 after having had survived the Huans Mill massacre on October 30, 1838 when Beason was only two years old. When Beason was 32 years old he married Adeline Rhodes in Minersville in 1868. They were married five years and had three children when Beason was left a widower. His wife died in Joseph, Sevier County, Utah, 14 February 1873. On the 20th day of May of the same year Beason Lewis married his second wife Mary Magdeline Nazer. Their marriage was solemnized in the Endowment House, Salt Lake City, 9 August 1875. He was first Counselor to the Bishop in Joseph, Utah. It was during this time that Beason Lewis acquired the contract to run church cattle and through his father’s exploits with A.K. Thurber, Beason had heard rumor of good grazing in Rabbit Valley, grass stirrup high. So in an instant Beason saddled up his horse gathered up the Mormon Church bovines and a similar number of Monroe Cooperative Cattle Company cows and… his own and without as much as a moments hesitation rode over Fish Lake Mountain to what would be eventually, in 1896, Wayne County. In the fall of 1880 the growing Lewis family moved to what was then Piute County and after a short stint in Thurber relocated to a ranchette called "Fish Creek", eight miles

east of Teasdale, Utah. Eventually the church sold their cattle but Beason Lewis retained his along with some shaggy sheep, and as always faithful to the church raised his happy little Lewis family at Fish Creek. In 1882 Elias Hicks Blackburn, a member of the Utah legislature applied for and was granted $1,000.00 for a road survey from Loa to the Colorado River in what was then still Piute County. It would have been a monumental task in any era had the survey team ever reached the free flowing Colorado River. The survey team consisted of prominent citizens of the time, Volney King, James H. Wright, George S. Rust and Franklin W. Young, they set their sites east on March 29th 1882. The party soon split up with Blackburn, Wright and Young camping near the junction of Sand Creek where at once King and Rust proceeded south to the Beason Lewis ranch to collect Lewis. Beason Lewis being one known to have intimate and detailed knowledge of the rugged and lightly explored canyon country to the east of Rabbit Valley. On April 1st the men ventured into Capitol Wash, which King described as 6 miles in length with walls of rock on either side hundreds of feet high and some places with only enough room for a wagon to pass. Everywhere they looked, the narrow canyon bore visible signs of battle scars from great floods! In addition to scouting possible routes for roads, the men reported on feasible locations for farming. Along the way they noted over 6,000 acres of potential farming acreage. They also gave the landmark Factory Butte its first name, Provo Factory, after Utah’s first large industrial plant, the Provo Woolen Mill. Elias Blackburn was particularly enthusiastic about these eastern lands noting the warmer climate and the likelihood of being able to grow a wider variety of crops there than in the Fremont Valley. The party did not continue on to the Colorado River, but instead… with half empty packs and semi-satisfied that they had adequately performed the prescribed task, moseyed on back to Loa on April 6th. Although short of their lofty goal the exploratory trek did however established the route through Capitol Wash that would eventually link upper and lower Wayne County, until highway 24 was routed through the Fremont River Canyon in the 1960’s. In the spring of 1886 the Lewis’ moved to Teasdale, Utah to send the older children to school. While living there their oldest son died and in less than a year their youngest son passed away, then in 1890 while on a visit to Teasdale, Beason Lewis’s father Tarlton died and all three are buried there. Losing his boys and Grand Pa Lewis in a relatively short time came as a great shock to Beason. The family then decided to move again and Beason bought land in Aurora and started to build a home. On April 18, 1892 with all that they owned loaded in a wagon the Lewis family moved to Sevier County, Utah. Through out his life Beason Lewis continued to help build roads, reservoirs and canals. He was one of the first board members of the Otter Creek Reservoir and also the Vermillion Extension Canal. He was very liberal in helping to build Churches and Temples.

For Your Health How to Fight High Cholesterol It is now common knowledge that there is a firm link between high cholesterol and heart disease. It is hard to know if you have high cholesterol, since it seldom causes any symptoms.
If you are worried about your risk for heart disease and wish to explore the possibility of high cholesterol, there are some actions you can take. Ask Your Physician for a Blood Test The first step is to ask your physician for a blood test to determine your blood cholesterol. The exam is known as a lipoprotein profile, and its purpose is to measure four markers: 1) total cholesterol, which should be below 200 mg/dl; 2) LDL or “bad” cholesterol, which should be less than 100 mg/dL; 3) HDL or “good” cholesterol), which should be 40 mg/dL or above; and 4) triglycerides, which should be less than 150 mg/dL. If your values are out of the normal range, your physician can create a treatment plan for you. Begin a Healthy Diet One of the primary risk factors for high cholesterol is a poor diet that results in obesity. Eating healthier foods has been proven to lower cholesterol. It is critical to avoid saturated fats, trans fats, and dietary cholesterol. Saturated fats are found in the following foods (which should be minimized as much as possible or avoided completely): high-fat cheese, high-fat meat cuts, whole milk, cream, butter, ice cream, palm oil, and coconut oil. To minimize trans fats, avoid fatty meat and dairy products (as above), and also hydrogenated oils. Dietary cholesterol is found in meat, poultry, egg yolks, and whole milk. The best advice for all of these issues is to switch to a low-fat diet and ingest only fat-free dairy products. Eating foods high in fiber can lower cholesterol as well. Healthy Lifestyle Tips There are several other lifestyle tips to keep cholesterol down and increase your chances of living a long, healthy life. Avoiding alcohol is important, as this can also keep triglycerides down. If you smoke, it is critical that you quit immediately. Smoking is damaging to your blood vessels, speeding the process of hardening of the arteries. If you stop smoking, you lower your risk of heart disease and stroke. A sedentary lifestyle is a major risk factor for high cholesterol. To combat this problem, begin an exercise program. Start slowly, with advice from your physician. In addition, if you also have diabetes or high blood pressure, follow your physician’s advice to control these conditions. Common Cholesterol-Lowering Medications You cannot self-treat high cholesterol by taking nonprescription products, no matter what the advertisements promise. In fact, no herbal supplement or vitamin is safe or effective for this use. However, there are several medications that your physician can prescribe. The most common is the group known as the statins. They include atorvastatin (Lipitor), lovastatin (Mevacor), pravastatin (Pravachol), rosuvastatin (Crestor), and simvastatin (Zocor). Statins block one of the chemicals your body needs to make cholesterol. These drugs are generally safe, and your pharmacist or physician can explain the risks of their use.
Remember, if you have questions, Consult Your Pharmacist —Sam Marshall, Pharmacist

"I don't know if the predators are curious or if they've learned that humans can lead them to food. But if you've just gotten close to a fawn, you'll lead the predator right to it." If you see a fawn or a calf, it's best to stop quite a distance from it. "Then continue past the animal in a loop so the predator follows you around and away from the fawn or calf," he says. Finding and petting newly born animals is another problem. "The animal's survival depends on it staying scentless," Stewart says. "If you touch the animal, you've placed your scent on it. That will make it easier for a predator to find it." You can get more tips about living with wildlife at the Wild Aware Utah website. —Utah Division of Wildlife Resources

Practical Money Matters
Your Midyear Financial Checkup Setting a few hours aside for a midyear financial checkup in June or July can help you review how you're doing with savings, investing, spending and debt. It can give you the opportunity to spot irregularities and adjust your budget well in advance of year-end. If you already work with a qualified financial or tax advisor, consider discussing this review process with them so they can guide you to any specific money issues you should be tracking. Start by requesting at least one of your three credit reports. The idea is to make sure your credit balances are accurate and to check closely for any irregularities that might signal identity theft. Federal law requires that each of the major credit agencies – Experian, Equifax and TransUnion – give you your most recent credit reports for free (https://www.annualcreditreport.com/index.action) once a year. If you discover unusual charges or accounts you didn't open, alert your advisors, take any steps they recommend and otherwise follow the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's step-by-step identity theft guide (http://www.consumer. ftc.gov/features/feature-0014identity-theft) to help you take action. Remember to stagger receipt of each of your credit reports throughout the year so you have the opportunity to catch potential irregularities every few months. Next, turn to your budget or start one if you've never made one before. The midyear review should focus on whether adjustments can be made to save or invest more or pay off more debt if more money is coming in from a raise or other resources. If spending is up by midyear, it's always important to know why and whether funds can be reallocated to better purpose.
by Jason Alderman Review your retirement and whether you're maximizing your contributions at work or in your own personal retirement accounts. Those who reach age 50 by the end of the calendar year will be able to take advantage of additional catch-up contribution allowances to beef up their balances as they approach retirement. Midyear is also a good time to check the adequacy of one's emergency fund (http:// www.practicalmoneyskills. com/calculators/emergency). Emergency funds help keep you from tapping your credit or savings balances in a sudden cash emergency. The amount of money you keep in your emergency fund should fit your needs, but consider a balance of four to seven months of everyday expenses in case there's a short-term job loss or an emergency repair. Consider keeping a year-round list of potential home, car or personal expenses and decide whether your emergency fund is adequate or you might need to set up other savings accounts to address bigger needs. Make sure your tax withholding levels are correct. This is particularly important if your income has changed during the first six months of the year and you might be closing in on a higher or lower tax bracket. Consult your tax advisor for assistance, and the IRS features its own withholding calculator (http://www.irs.gov/ Individuals/IRS-WithholdingCalculator) to help you decide. Finally, make sure all your recordkeeping is up to date. Midyear is a good time to look over all your spending, saving and investment records to make sure all the numbers add up and underlying paperwork is in order. Also consider online banking, investing and bill payment as a way to save more time and money.

by Troy Wilde, Utah News Connection WEST JORDAN, Utah Utah-based CHOICE Humanitarian is helping to rebuild schools in Nepal following the massive earthquake and strong aftershock earlier this spring that killed more than 8,000 people. The magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck April 25 destroyed an estimated 4,500 schools, said Christopher Johnson, program manager for CHOICE Humanitarian - just in the areas where his organization works. He said efforts now are centered on building temporary but strong school structures out of bamboo and tarps. "They have, for $150 or $200, a schoolroom in place that will last for the next year or two while they're trying to stabilize and really be able to rebuild with earthquake-proof buildings," he said. It will take several years and a huge chunk of Nepal's economic resources to rebuild the country's devastated infrastructure, Johnson said. The earthquake is also blamed for obliterating about 800,000 homes. Johnson said CHOICE Humanitarian was in a good position to help Nepal rebuild because it has been working in the country since 1999. Whether building schools, accessing clean water or economic development, Johnson said his organization's mission is helping people in impoverished communities become self-reliant. "And really the biggest progress that is going to happen is where local people are solving their own problems," he said, "and not sitting there waiting for the international community - or even their fed-
eral government - to come and solve it for them." Johnson said CHOICE Humanitarian does similar work in Kenya, Mexico and Central and South America. More information on CHOICE Humanitarian is online at choicehumanitarian. org.
