Escalante Breaks Ground for New Home Center

Statewide Study Shows Community Benefits of Local Businesses

ESCALANTE - It’s official. After several months of excited buzz about town, Escalante residents can now say with certainty that they’ll be getting a new hardware and building supply store of their own.

With Escalante City as a backdrop and a group of approximately eighty supportive citizens in attendance, Escalante resident Reed Munson led a ground breaking ceremony last Friday morning for the new Escalante Home Center.

The new store will be a partnership between Munson and the Pace family, owners of Loa Builders Supply.

As a result of increased sales and deliveries to Es-

Wayne County Study Contributed Essential Data SALT LAKE CITY - Local First Utah has released a new analysis of a statewide study series by Civic Economics detailing the amount of revenue returned to the local economy by locally owned, independent businesses. Recently, an economic study was completed in Wayne County adding an essential rural component to the data captured by the 2012 SLC and Ogden Indie Impact Studies.

The Wayne County data demonstrates that locally owned retailers in the county return 65.9% of their revenue to the Utah economy compared to only 13.6% returned on average by national retailers.

Wayne County restaurateurs return 75.7% versus the 30.4% returned to the local economy by national chains. The Wayne County Study was sponsored

by Local First Utah, the Wayne County Business Association, Lotus Community Development, Entrada Institute, the Castle Rock Candy Company, Stan’s Chevron of Hanksville, and Robber’s Roost.

Collectively, studies implemented in Salt Lake City, Ogden, and Wayne County

show that locally owned retailers return 55.3% of their revenue to the local economy.

That means every dollar spent at a locally owned, independent business returns more than four times more to the local economy than a dollar spent at a national chain retailer.

The study also compiled data from restaurants. Utahowned eateries collectively return 69.1% of their revenue to the local economy. National chain restaurants return just 30.4%, meaning a dollar spent enjoying a meal at a locally owned restaurant more than doubles the return to the local economy when compared to a dollar spent at a chain restaurant.

The study concluded that shifting just 10% of purchases from national chains to locally owned retailers and restaurants would keep $1.3 billion in the Utah economy – money that currently leaves the state quietly in nightly deposits to be spent elsewhere.

PANGUITCH weather

LOA weather

calante, Mitchell Pace of Loa Builders says he has been considering an Escalante location off and on over the past five years. His two main concerns were where to build it and who would run it. When Reed Munson approached the Paces last fall about starting an Escalante store, it didn’t take long for their ideas to blend into a partnership.

“Every good project requires at least three trips to the hardware store,” said Loa Builders’ VeeAnn Pace. “The Home Center’s goal is to shave a few hundred miles off future Escalante projects.”

Up, Up and Away Balloon Rally Wows Crowds

PANGUITCH - The weather was perfect last weekend as 35 hot air balloons ascended above the town and fields of Panguitch, delighting residents and visitors with their display of gorgeous colors and quiet flight.

And, as the fourteenth annual Panguitch Valley Balloon Rally stretched over three days, crowds of people descended on the town to enjoy the balloons and related activities.

“The sheriffs department estimated about 4,000 people came out for the event. We literally tripled our population in Panguitch over last weekend,” says Cheryl Church, Panguitch Main Street Director and event coordinator for the balloon rally. “Our small town works really well for this event because it’s not spread out all over the place. We’re all together…it’s

a great, fun party.”

The invitation-only ballooning event attracted the maximum capacity of 35 pilots, with more on a waiting list. Balloon pilots came from Utah, Wyoming, Nevada, Colorado, California, Wyoming, New Mexico, and Arizona. In some years, one particular pilot comes all the way from England to participate.

“It is such a fun event and such a great place to fly, we have no trouble attracting pilots to come,” adds Church.

“It’s an event that the town just loves and people have family reunions, school reunions. We just need to get people here once, and then they keep coming back. A friend of my husband’s said, ‘I’m coming back Balloon Rally

Seeking Common Courtesy Dear Editor, Looking out my window today, I spotted two men with shovels and survey equipment walking through my property.

There was no notification or prior permission. Upon questioning them I found out they worked for Les Barker of Garfield County.

These men had no uniforms,were in a private vehicle,and had nothing to identify them as “government employees.” Upon calling Mr. Barker’s office, I was informed by his secretary that “no one like that works for Mr Barker”!!! Through further investigation with the help of the sheriff’s dept., I was informed that they did, indeed, work for Garfield County and were “legit.”

It might behoove Garfield County to have the common courtesy to notify their citizens ahead of time when un-uniformed employees of theirs, in a private vehicle, will be traipsing across private property!

Thanks for your attention.

Local Businesses

cont’d from page 1

“The extra dollars in the local economy produce more jobs for residents, extra tax revenues for local governments, more investment in commercial and residential districts, and enhanced support for local nonprofits. In short, local businesses create better places.” said Daniel Houston, Partner at Civic Economics.

The release of the compiled statewide study coincides with ‘Independents Week,” July 1-7, a celebration of the value and vitality of independent businesses throughout Utah. Mayors across the state are issuing official proclamations acknowledging the contributions of locally owned businesses to their communities. Also in celebration of the week, more than 50 businesses statewide are giving away free bumper stickers for locally committed shoppers with the declaration “I Buy Local First.”

“The money that local businesses return at four times the rate of chains is just one of many reasons to celebrate Utah’s independent business

owners and operators – Wayne County is a stunning example of a uniquely beautiful place made even better by its local business community,” said Nan Seymour, Executive Director of Local First Utah.

“We can all do more to support the success of our neighbors’ brave endeavors, remembering that dollars spent at independent businesses are reinvested locally.”

To download a PDF of the compiled study results, visit www.LocalFirst.org/impactstudy.pdf.

The Civic Economics analysis looked at detailed financial reports from 27 retailers and 17 restaurateurs from across the state. Although similar studies have been conducted in Austin, Chicago, San Francisco, Phoenix, Grand Rapids, and New Orleans, this is the first statewide compilation representing the economic impact of both urban and rural locally owned businesses.

Utah Lt. Governor Greg Bell, Angie Bulletts-Dixie National Forest Supervisor, and Carl Albrecht-General Manager Garkane Energy break ground for the new Tropic to Hatch transmission line.

TROPIC - Recently, Lieutenant Governor Greg Bell spoke at Garkane Energy’s groundbreaking ceremony for the new Tropic to Hatch 138 kV Transmission Line. Also speaking was Angie Bulletts, Dixie National Forest Supervisor; Juan Palma, Utah BLM State Director; Jeff Davis of Transcon Environmental Consultants; Don Torgersen, Garkane Board President, Bryant Shakespear, Project Engineer for Garkane, and Carl Albrecht, Garkane General Manager. The ceremony took place on Monday June 17th at Dave’s Hollow Ranger Station.

Representatives from the Dixie National Forest Service, BLM, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, and county governments came together to celebrate the groundbreaking ceremony.

“It took over seven years to complete the necessary environmental studies with the federal agencies, so we are pleased to start construction.

There is a fine balance of safe-

guarding federal lands while supplying the energy demand to the area.” Carl Albrecht, General Manager of Garkane Energy stated.

The transmission line will help serve future growth in the outlying communities of South Central Utah, in Garfield and Kane Counties.

Lead Project Engineer Bryant Shakespeare of Garkane Energy said, “We were very pleased Lt. Governor Greg Bell was able to attend.

It took a lot of hard work and collaboration across many government entities to ensure compliance with all Federal guidelines.”

Garkane Energy is approaching 75 years of serving Central and Southern Utah and Northern Arizona. This transmission line will be a key component to the infrastructure to help serve the growing demand in the area.

The Pace family brings more than 25 years’ experience in the building supply chain to the partnership, while Munson brings his extensive experience in the construction trades as one of the principal building contractors in the area. In addition, the store will provide local access to the Do it Best line of products as an independent dealer. Do it Best is a member-owned, fully integrated hardware and building materials buying cooperative, offering its dealers a wide array of products.

At the ground breaking, Munson introduced Escalante Mayor Jerry Taylor, Zion’s Bank Manager Scott Campbell, Do it Best Territorial Sales Representative Kevin Tindall and Loa Builders’ Greg Pace, thanking each of them for their shared vision and support. Munson also mentioned how this venture would not be possible without the sacrifices and foundation laid by Escalante’s forefathers. After their individual remarks, the five participants each turned over the symbolic spade of dirt with their gold painted shovels.

Munson and his crew plan to start construction this week with an anticipated opening sometime in September.

Balloon Rally cont’d from page 1

and I’m bringing people with me.’”

The balloon rally started in 2000 when a local business owner, Brian Hill of Bryce Canyon Motel, looked at the calendar and said, ‘What is our slowest weekend over the summer?’ This turned out to be the last week of June. Also a balloon pilot, Hill thought it would be fun to start a small balloon rally, and invited five friends to come to Panguitch for a day of flying. About 50 people showed up to watch.

Now, the rally has grown to a three day event that includes a wide variety of activities including a 5K race and a biker rodeo.

But the core of the event is the balloon flights. Balloonists fly three mornings, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday as long as the weather permits.

Probably the most popular event, after the flights themselves, is the “glow” on Saturday night. Eighteen balloons line up on Main and Center Streets, and by radio signal to each of the balloonists, a caller says, ‘OK, everybody, full burn,’ or ‘Everybody, twinkle.’

“It’s really spectacular.

You’ve just got to see it,” says Church.

Hill serves as the rally’s “Balloonmeister” (an official term), basically serving as the event’s lead pilot. He invites the pilots and makes sure everything is in order for safe flying.

“The event requires a tremendous amount of coordina-

tion,” says Hill. “I would like to say that we especially appreciate the cooperation of the farmers and property owners in the valley who let us set up and land on their land. They’re very considerate and it’s generous that they’ve given us the latitude to keep this event going.”

“It’s a great economic weekend for the city and the county, and that’s really important,” adds Hill.

Hill also gave kudos to Panguitch Main Street, including Cheryl Church and the many, many volunteers that do a great job of putting all the logistics together.

Church wanted to recognize the Panguitch Valley Balloon Rally committee members and volunteers: Randy Yard, Michelle Crofts, Shelley Yardley, Cindy Barney, Carla Farnsworth, Art Cooper, Barbara Leach, Dave Mitchley, Lloyd Brinkerhoff, Deanna Moore, Stephanie Frazier, Dianne Sheridan; Lori Talbot, City Manager and the Panguitch City maintenance crew; and in addition the many people that jump in and do a piece of something to make it all happen.

Hill and Church both say that the event is kind of at a “sweet spot” and they currently don’t have big changes planned for its future, just “tweaks” to improve it. They say they are looking forward to 2014.

And they want to remind everyone…the Panguitch Valley Balloon Rally is always during the last weekend in June.

Garfield County School District recently adopted the FY 14 Budget. During this process, it became clear of the importance of the State Legislatures allocating funds for public education. All districts in the State of Utah received a 2% increase in the Weighted Pupil Unit (WPU), which accounts for an increase of about $132,802 in multiple line items in the Garfield School District Budget. Garfield School District has eight schools that qualify as Necessary Existing Small Schools (NESS). Thanks to the Legislatures efforts, the District received an increase of approximately $340,000 in NESS funding. As a result, the District was able to offer the following new classes to students. These classes were previously not offered, but because of the increase in NESS funding students had more class options than ever before.

With the increase in NESS funding for the 2013-2014 school year, the Garfield School District will hire one additional science teacher and one additional elementary Teacher. The District will also cover the cost of increases in Insurance and Utah Retirement System.

I would personally like thank several key legislators for helping rural Districts like Garfield provide additional educational opportunities to students.

Senator Ralph Okerlund, Senator Evan Vickers, Senator Hinkins, Senator Urquhart, Representative Kay McKiff, Representative Brad Last, Representative John Westwood, Representative Mike Noel, Representative Don Ipson, Representative Merril Nelson, Representative Lowery Snow, and Representative Jon Stanard.

On the National Level, I would personally like to thank US Senator Orrin Hatch for all of his work in securing Secure Rural School (SRS) Federal funding in FY 13. U.S. Congressman Rob Bishop has also been instrumental in helping with Federal Land management issues in an attempt to secure revenue for SRS funding.

Gopher It! “Burrow into a good BOOK… just GOPHER it!” was the theme for June 25, Utah State Library – Tri-County Bookmobile summer reading program. A big (burrowing) badger greeted the children as they arrived, taking photos and giving high-fives! Emily McNey, Christopher McNey, Tessie Kezos with Vince McNey narrating performed the skit “Brer Rabbit”. Their skit delighted the children and adults alike with truly Oscar performances! Joanne Stenton, wildlife biologist from the Fremont River Ranger District, along with two co-workers came. They read a book about prairie dogs and then played a game with part of the children as prairie dogs and the others half coyotes. The kids had a blast and learned a bit about predators along the way! Paula Pace read a book about a dog that digs and digs and digs. We ended the hour singing and playing with the badger. Around 90 people were in attendance.

Next week will be our last program for this year’s summer reading program. However, that doesn’t mean that we are through with reading and prizes. Keep your children reading and coming regularly to the library through the remaining summer months.

Mark your calendar for next Tuesday, July 2nd at 1:00. We are having an end-of-thesummer-reading party and finishing up in a BIG way! Jackson Excavation is bringing some of their BIG equipment. We will have books, games, prizes, goodies, and photo opportunities with some dirt moving equipment. You won’t want to miss out on this fun event!

By Cynthia Kimball The world will try and tempt you. It will pressure you. Maybe scare and frighten you. But do not despair. Do not have fear. Because you have another choice.

And that is to have faith.

Faith is believing for things you cannot see. It is believing in things that, often times, do not exist (at the present moment anyway). It is like driving at night when you cannot see but you know your destination is ahead. It has been compared to walking blindfold on the plank of a ship. Actually, every day you get up, you are either walking in fear or faith.

You cannot do them simultaneously. It just doesn’t work.

However, if you try to, you will be in a tug of war. Like sitting on top-of a fence. You may even feel a great amount of despair and confusion. The good news is that you can choose faith. Thus, believe.

Hope. Pray for what you want. Especially if it’s good and right. Then visualize it unfolding and coming to fruition.

Faith has even been compared to a seed. “The Savior

Travelogue

Every Moment Choices

said, “If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, . nothing shall be impossible unto you” (Matthew 17:20). A mustard seed is very small, but it grows into a large tree.

Isn’t that great, “Nothing shall be impossible unto you.”

Yet, if you have fear, at times, everything can seem impossible.

Point blank, having faith, over fear, is a no-brainer decision.

All day long there are opportunities to make faith and fear choices. Actually, even momentarily. From thoughts to actions to words and even to motives.

But choosing faith is not for the lazy. “[LDS Church president] Spencer W. Kimball explained: ‘There must be works with faith.

How foolish it would be to ask the Lord to give us knowledge, but how wise to ask the Lord’s help to acquire knowledge, to study constructively, to think clearly, and to retain things that we have learned’ (Faith Precedes the Miracle, p. 205, LDS. org, 2013).

So faith requires action.

It requires work. It is that simple.

“Faith involves doing all we can to bring about the things we hope and pray for. .Kimball [also] said: ‘In faith we plant the seed, and soon we see the miracle of the blossoming. Men have often misunderstood and have reversed the process.’”(Faith Precedes the Miracle, p. 4, LDS.org, 2013) .

So, today, choose faith.

And believe and hope for what you want. Pray for what is good and right. Visualize it and see it unfold. Then take whatever action you need.

Yes, you do have to put forth effort and work. But why not when, “Nothing shall be impossible until you?”

Legal Description

Employment Form

I am a prosecuting attorney in a small Mississippi town and will admit to having a few extra pounds on me. Not long ago, I was questioning a witness in an armed robbery case.

I asked, “Would you describe the person you saw?”

The witness replied, “He was kind of short and stout.”

“You mean short and stout like me?” I asked.

“Oh, no,” the witness said. “He wasn’t that fat.” bad temper and was generally hard to deal with, but the pastor called him anyway.

The mayor did not disappoint. He immediately began to rant & rave at the pastor and finally said, “Why did you call me any way? Isn’t it your job to bury the dead?”

The pastor paused for a brief prayer and asked the Lord to direct his response. He was led to say, “Yes, Mayor, it is my job to bury the dead, but I always like to notify the next of kin first!”

My sense of humor always gets me into trouble, but I just can’t help it.

Applying for a job one time, the employment form clearly said: “Age of Father, if living” and the same query for my Mother.

I put down the figures 119 and 117 in the spaces provided, and the interviewer asked if my parents were truly that old.

I replied, “No, but they would be if they were still living.”

Setting Goals

During the last session of our teaching workshop, participants were asked to state their personal goals for the immediate future.

One teacher vowed to update photo albums, another to lose weight. The goal that got the most response, however, was given by a slightly out-ofshape kindergarten teacher.

“I resolve to exercise until I can complete a 20-minute workout in less than an hour,” she said.

It’s Time

Even though he could not tell time, my three-year-old grandson was wearing a watch when I visited. Later, when I was putting on my coat to leave, I asked him what time it was. He looked at his watch blankly, then brightened. “It’s time for you to go,” he answered triumphantly.

by Ray Conrad

I went to California, to San Francisco town.

What a hilly bugger. It’s all straight up and down.

I went out there to visit friends, and dig the urban bounty.

San Francisco’s got some stuff you won’t see in Wayne County.

Mostly it was varied folks of different types and hues.

Also joints where people sold, unhidden, drinks of booze.

There was autos, cabs and cable cars, busses and bikes and BARTs, And billions of people, bored where they were, heading for different parts.

Some of my brand new friends there were housed in alternative ways.

Little houses built on stilts, and houseboats on the bays.

I went to fine museums. Some of their stuff was the neatest.

Just the thing to please the heart of a Teasdale town elitist.

The California Zephyr conveyed me forth and back, Resting in the coach car, thundering down Amtrak.

It was a long but scenic trip, at least in major sections, And the miracle part, the train was on time, going in both directions.

Death Can Complicate Title to Assets

Answers for this week

by Jeffery J. McKenna

You or someone you know may own unmarketable assets as a result of the death of a previous owner.

The asset may be real estate, stock in a corporation or some other asset. The title is unmarketable because the property is in the name of the deceased individual.

Many times when someone dies owning property in his or her name, the surviving family members do not take the necessary steps to clear title to the property. Although this is common, it can create future problems.

If a parent, grandparent or some other ancestor died with real estate, stock or other assets in just his or her name and no probate proceeding was commenced, the assets are likely still in that person’s name and presently unmarketable.

The assets cannot be sold or transferred because title is in the name of the deceased.

If someone dies with a will, the will states who is to serve as personal representative of the deceased.

If there is no will, the intestate statute of the state where the property is located specifies the priority for

who is to serve as personal representative.

Many families know of assets within their family that were owned by a family member that died.

Often, the family does not know what to do about the assets. In some situations, the assets may have significantly increased in value.

Family members are often relieved to know there is a

process to clear title.

Determining the heirs of a deceased individual usually involves several steps. Although the process can be involved, it rarely gets easier with the passage of time. Fortunately, with a little effort and sometimes a brief genealogical review to determine the heirs of a deceased property owner, property that is presently unmarketable can once again be sold or transferred.

Spelling Words

My husband and I often spell words so that our small children won’t understand what we’re saying. I didn’t realize what a habit this had become until one day when my husband and I were in the grocery store at the soup aisle.

An aggressive young woman banged into our cart, then nudged me over, blocking my access to the soup.

Annoyed, I looked at my husband and said, “Boy, is she r-u-d-e!”

“Yeah,” he replied, “and I’ll bet she can s-p-e-l-l.”

Ramsay Family Honored on July 4th GLENDALE - The small town of Glendale will pay tribute on Thursday July 4th in honor of the Grant and Bertha Ramsay family. The Ramsay family was raised in the Valley, nestled beneath the clay hills, orchards and green fields. Widowed mother, Bertha worked extremely hard to provide for a large family, after losing her husband, Grant.

Being a very Patriotic family, they were willing to serve their country. Six of the nine children were honorable servents of the military. Four of those who chose to live the military life were involved in combat.

Besides being honorable members of the military, the Ramsay’s were also a family who were very accomplished.

Some of their titles include dentist, teachers, business men and women, homemakers, mothers career men and women, as well as community supporters and good will advocates who have served their communities and their country with dignity and honor. They rose from the small town of Glendale to make the community proud and bring honor to Grant and Bertha Ramsay, whos family heritage is passed on to future generations.

The men in the family were big, strapping handsome young men who met the world head on and sought for excellence in accomplishment. The girls were pretty and were taught many skills, they learned from the hands of their mother, who insisted on the pursuit of excellence in whatever tasks were preformed. Bertha made many beautiful patchwork quilts with stitches to prove a piece of art in her handiwork. Other handmade items were sewn with extreme care and neatness.

When Bertha’s daughters talked about the laundry, they did so with a smile in the remembrance of their mom’s insistance that only a brilliant, white laundry was worthy to hang on the clothes line. First, Bertha would boil the clothes in a tub on the old wood stove,

then she would put the clothes through a scrubbing and rinsing, until the clothes sparkled under the glow of the early morning sun.

So, on Glendale’s day of remembrance, tribute will be paid to an awesome family who brings pride to any community in America. This family, are true Americans who deserve the honor rendered to them on the Birthday of this great country. Thank you, Ramsay family. You make Glendale proud!

A Family of Patriots

by Myrna Cox

Honorably they carry on In conflicts great and small Thank God for family patriots Who served and gave their All.

SALT LAKE CITY More blood donors are needed to ensure the American Red Cross maintains an adequate supply of blood for patients in local hospitals. To encourage more donations, all presenting donors at all participating Red Cross blood drives from now until July 21 will automatically be entered in a daily drawing for a $25 Apple gift card and a weekly drawing for an iPad 3.

According to Madeline McDonald, donor recruitment manager for the Red Cross in Utah, “Summer is a challenging time to collect enough blood and platelet donations to meet patient needs. If at least two more donors give blood at every Red Cross blood drive this summer – above what’s expected – it will help ensure a sufficient blood supply is available.”

During the summer months of June, July and August, on average, about two fewer donors give blood at each Red Cross blood drive than what patients need. Summer activities and vacations conflict with blood donation appointments for many regular donors.

Blood donations at high school and college blood drives account for as much as 20 percent of donations during the school year, but donations at these drives drop by more than 80 percent when school is out for the summer.

Call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org today to schedule your life-saving appointment.

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Is Panguitch a great place to live or what? While the world around us is on fire with record heat, (Las Vegas and Phoenix at 119 and St. George at 115 there is little old Panguitch with a cloud cover and 85 degrees temperatures, oh how sweet it is! Last Sunday the 23rd was the summer Solstice (the start of summer) and boy is it heating up.

We need to move the Balloon Rally Fest to May, less wind I think. We all have had enough of this wind, when we do get moisture the wind dries out everything in nothing flat. This is the 15th Balloon Rally and only one failed to come through for the Glow, that’s a pretty good record. It seemed the balloon rally gets bigger each year, but this year the balloons were up earlier and stayed up much longer, for the glow, it was a grand sight indeed. On Friday morning on my way to work there was one balloon clear down to Hwy. 12 and still going. Someone said they went to Salina’s Balloon Festival last week and the balloons did not participate in the glow because the winds were too dangerous.

There were three events going on at the same time last weekend in Panguitch, a little league tournament, a horse event at the Triple C Arena and the Balloon Fest. The city workers were spread a little thin but they always come through, they seem to have mastered the art of multitasking. The Lions Club breakfast set a record for meals served.

Again these events take a lot of planning and the Balloon Rally coordinator Cheryl Church and her Main Street Crew survived another year of going all out for a long such a long period. This year Cheryl said that instead of going on a long trip, she is going to hold her first Grand Child for two weeks relax.

The Fund raiser for Debbie Pollock at the Oetting’s place went well and all the hours of pulling weeds and cleaning house paid off in the money that was raised. Her favorite statement is now “One person’s weeds are another persons ground cover”. Pat says “Thank You” to all those who made and donated chocolate items. Several school teachers and staff as well as the usual volunteers came forward as

usual. I think that we had the best music in the town, Brent Leach is a very good singer and you can understand the word of his songs and your ear drums don’t burst. Someone thought that he should have been down on Main Street where more people were but we got him first! I expect Cheryl Church will line him up for next year.

Lucky us we got to enjoy his music first. Brent if you are reading this you are outstanding… Thank you so much for donating your talent to make the Fund raiser for Debbie Pollock a step above!

I hope you had a safe and sane 4th, with everything so dry I hope you didn’t waste a lot of money on fire works that go up in smoke. Hopefully the Fire Fighters got off their exciting fire work show.

Did you get some more of that killer bacon at the Lions Club breakfast? Or as Art Cooper says it best “ Did you get your cholesterol fix? The Lions will have one more breakfast this summer and that will be for the Fiddler’s Festival later in July.

Next Saturday the 13th is the Bryce Canyon half mara-

thon, a lot of people take part in this race and I get one of their shirts each year by driving the bus from Panguitch out to the Canyon.

Steve and Marilyn Marshall have another son coming home. Ben is buying the Panguitch Drug from his Father Steve. Ben will be the 4th generation Marshall to own this business. Steve brought the Panguitch Drug Store into the 21st Century when he moved it from Main St. to its current place next to the Social Hall on Center St. Besides Ben Marshall moving here, we have two new retired couples that just moved here. The Coopers have purchased Santa’s home on 2nd North and the Honey’s from Kanab have moved into the Mary Ann Church’s home.

Bert Honey has retired from Utah Power and his wife Susie is the daughter of Sybil Taylor and the sister of Cindy Stewart and the mother of Josh Soper (a little genealogy--- I hope I got it right!).

Well it is late and I am worn out, till next week.

The Valley View 10th Ward youth conference participants, youth 14 – 18 years old descended on Torrey Town with the voraciousness of a flash mob to perform a public service project that consisted of spit shining the Torrey Fire Truck for the up-coming Torrey Town Fourth of July celebration. There were so many kids washing and scrubbing on Big Red that it was best to just stay out of their way or possibly get whipped with a towel and never know who did it.

The community service project was part of the Valley View 10th Ward youth conference held in Wayne County this year. Based at Uncle Earl’s cabins in Grover, the Valley View 10th Ward youth filled the canyons in around Capitol Reef with good humor, laughter and good will.

The Torrey Town Fire Department wishes to thank all the members and leaders from the Valley View 10th Ward for their participation in preparing Big Red for his yearly debut in the |Apple Days Parade on Saturday the 6th July.

It should be no secret that the Torrey Apple Days celebration will be taking place on Torrey’s Main Street and at the Town Park this Saturday the 6th of July. The Apple Days committee headed up by Leslie Oyler with the constant help of Colleen Dudleston, Paula Pace, Bob Palin for his assistance in setting up and organizing the swap meet location and vendors, Larry Johnson, Ted and JaNae Winder, Kyle and Amber Lee Bray, Jenni Scholes, Gordon Ellett, Lisa Hinton, Janet Hansen, April Torgerson, Wayne Wrestlers, Wayne Cheerleaders and Wayne FFA. The 2013 Apple Days celebration should be the best ever after all the work that has been put into it. Everyone is invited to bring swim suits as there will slip and slides and water games through out the park.

For those of us that our bodies haven’t seen the sun since fourth grade are reminded to wear plenty of sun screen and a Spiderman face mask if you prefer not to be recognized or forever go down in history in family photographs.

There is only one thing as difficult as unscrambling an egg and that is un-spreading a rumor. Rumor is something that comes out of ones mouth faster than it went in their ears like a bucket of water that has a thousand holes in it.

“Torrey Town or the battle tested Torrey Town Mayor is not wasting precious water resources” from the mountain springs in an attempt to cause hate and discontent among connected culinary water users or Sand Creek water share owners.

The fact is that the Torrey

Valley View 10th Ward youth conference Community Service Project in Torrey.

Town Water Department under the expert direction of Certified Water Supervisor Chad Williams has increased the spring water capture coming to town, reduced water waste by acting immediately to any report of leakage, calculated and reduced Town water consumption in the Torrey town Park and cemetery to the very minimum.

With the newly installed water monitoring system that consists of new customer water meters, mountain spring flow meters and main water system usage meters the Torrey Town Water Department is able to monitor water usage and detect system leakage in an instant. As does every Community Water System in the State of Utah the Torrey Town water department consistently meets the tough standards and requirements of the Utah State Health Department by monthly lab testing. All testing and water system monitoring results by the Torrey Town Water Department are publicly available for viewing at the Torrey Town Hall during regular office hours.

As part of their Saturday night summer series the Entrada Institute in Torrey introduced long time Boulder resident and theatrical genius writer and performer Raymond King Shurtz into their weekly series and line up. On Saturday night the 29th June with a back drop of books and specialty acoustic instruments the Entrada Institute, in conjunction with Robbers Roost Bookstore; Raymond King Shurtz performed his much anticipated “Lounge” act in front of an intimate crowd that filled to capacity the newly renovated Robbers Roost Bookstore.

Playwright, poet, performer, musician, director, designer, and teacher, Raymond is a fourth generation pioneer from Garfield County, his mother born and raised in Boulder, Utah, and father Escalante. Raymond’s work includes thirty-three plays, scores of songs, and twentyfive years of performing much of his own work. Published works include two plays with

Dramatic Publishing, one with Samuel French Inc. and his book, BOHEMIAN COWBOY, POEMS AND SONGS is scheduled for publication later this fall with SILVER BIRCH PRESS, LA. Directing credits include the 2012 production of Pulitzer Prize winning playwright, Nilo Cruz’s, LORCA IN A GREEN DRESS. Raymond currently makes much of his living singing in lounges, in honky-tonks and playing private performances in motel rooms all around the Southwest as a singer/songwriter.

Finding any sort of Lounge act in rural Utah is as challenging as finding a vacant room in Torrey on the Fourth of July Weekend. Raymond’s Saturday Night Entrada “Lounge” act provided a unique insight into what a musician / performer will do to make a buck, green backs being placed in a cast away vase from a local second hand store and under the counter cash from watered downed “Lounge” drinks. Raymond’s 50 minute “Lounge” performance is a personal stage perception and point of view of how “under the influence” love and often defeat plays itself out with the slow swirl of a swizzle stick in an ice filled bar room Bourbon glass.

Raymond King Shurtz’s the “Lounge” proved to be an excellent reminder to the avid “Lounge Lizard” to request the most remote table in the darkest corner of the “Lounge” as to avoid “under the influence” observation from the stage talent and find yourself and your front row actions to be a future subject in a one act play being performed in a “Lounge” act somewhere around the world or as nightly entertainment on a stranded Cruise Ship in the open waters of Caribbean.

Raymond King Shurtz’s “The Lounge” was well associated with by the World Wide traveling and non-Mormon over forty crowd at the Robber’s Roost Bookstore Saturday night. As for those in attendance at the Entrada Institute Saturday night series that have never have been in a “Lounge” or imbibed in the forbidden

fruit, Raymond’s Lounge” rendition just might increase over the counter sarsaparilla sales.

On a rather sour note and not as any sort of an attempt to regain any public credibility or sympathy, I as Mayor of Torrey Town find it personally necessary to issue a public and open apology to JaNae Winder and the presiding Planning and Zoning Committee for my recent inappropriate and un-professional remarks and insensitivity to the acting volunteers on the present Planning and Zoning Committee. A volunteer committee that graciously serves and volunteers their time to Torrey Town to evaluate Torrey Town Policies, make suggestions and update changes to Torrey Town ordinances, review newly applied for water connections, business license applicants and Building permits, among other appointed duties.

After much daily and late night anxiety and contemplation, along with much continued public email recoil, I have personally come to the conclusion that my inappropriate written remarks and rude committee behavior is my personal chastisement and an emblem of embarrassment that I as Mayor of Torrey Town will have to deservedly bear forever and live with alone.

A much sought after leadership quality that is publicly sought after in a desired community leader, particularly in a time of progressive growth in an area as beautiful and important as Torrey, Utah. JaNae Winder, please accept my sincere and personal apology for not previously recognizing my misguided insensitivity and unprofessional shortcomings, and for using a public forum to misrepresent your dedication and continued commitment to the betterment of Torrey Town.

It is my personal desire to use this recent unfortunate and misguided personal experience as a learning opportunity to be a more understanding and be a better person and community servant, and to keep my aging cottonwood trees from being Tee Peed in Charmin toilet paper.

An open invitation to the public is to please plan to join in on all the Torrey Apple Days festivities and Red, White and Blue celebrations on the 6th of July in Torrey Town to commemorate our National and Local Heritage and hard sought after freedoms that we continue to enjoy in rural Utah communities.

The Torrey 4th of July parade is Wayne County’s semi yearly patriotic attempt to graciously show local national pride and a community wide opportunity for Wayne County to display her unwavering and constant public service and pride in the American way of life.

Bryce Valley Area News

by Vicki D. Syrett 679-8687 or vickidiane36@hotmail.com

Congratulations to the Wes Syretts. Saturday night at 10:21, William Douglas Syrett was brought into this world at seven pounds and 19 inches. Wes and Olea Syrett feel really blessed to have this new little person in their lives. He is so cute and this is their first baby. Grandpa is Bret Syrett of Bryce Canyon City.

Ernie and Wynona Henderson attended the blessing of grandson, Drayden Krew Henderson by his father, Mitch, in St. George. Parents are Mitch and Pam Henderson. They also attended the Mission Farewell of Pam Henderson’s sister, Kimberly Rogers while they were there. They then went on up to Salt Lake to meet up with granddaughter, Nikki Disera, who has been in China the last six months teaching English.

She is now back home in Salt Lake. To keep the car moving north they went to Snow Basin to attend the wedding of Brooke Stimson who is the daughter of Kim Mays and the granddaughter of Doyle and Joan Jackson.

Afterwards they went to Harrisville to visit for a time with Doyle and Joan who live in a Care Center there.

We are excited for Jade Harris and Kam Roundy who just became engaged. They will be getting married on August 9th and have a reception on August 10th at Ruby’s Inn. They are pretty excited too. Jade is the daughter of Ron and Susan Harris and the granddaughter of Mondel and Florence Syrett of Tropic. Kam is the son of Karl Roundy of Henrieville. Congratulations to the happy couple and we wish you the very best future ever.

Speaking of Ron Harris we congratulate him on the fine article about the EMT’s and the Garfield Memorial Hospital. I always knew Garfield County had the best EMT’s in the world but this just supports that thought. We also have an awesome Hospital with great people that take care of us there.

Don’t forget the 1/2 Marathon coming up on the 13th of July. Also watch for the Mystery Market and be sure to take advantage of the items you can find at the market. It is open during daylight hours. You can sell or you can buy. It is your choice.

On July 11th will be the blood drive and they need volunteers to give a pint of blood. You

can call Annette Chynoweth or Vicki Syrett about the blood drive for more information. Appointments start at 1:00 P.M. and go until 6:00 P.M. Do not forget to get your tickets for the drawing on July 4th. There are some wonderful prizes including a 51” TV, a BBQ grill, and GPS. You can get your tickets at the store, the bank, and the town office for $5.00 each. The drawing will be held on July 4th at 12:30 and you need not be present to win. All proceeds go to the Safe Sidewalk fund so be generous.

Layne and April LeFevre and son Logan traveled to Layne’s mission in Rochester, New York. They were able to visit some of the folks Layne taught when he was out there.

They also visited Church Sites, Niagara Falls, and went to the Palmyra Temple. They had a very nice trip and came home to get Logan ready to leave on his mission. He had his Farewell on Sunday and goes into the MTC on the 10th of July.

The “Survivor” run was well attended and people were able to stand the heat and complete the run. They met at the park and visited and enjoyed the day. It was for Tanya Brothwell and she was so grateful for the people who came to participate.

If you would like to donate you can at SBSU in Tropic into her account. There were about 10 kids that ran and about 20 adults that braved the heat to give the support to one of our favorite citizens.

Boulder Mountain was the scene of a “man trip” for Marion Littlefield and his sons and grandsons. Austin Littlefield and his son Easton came and Mitch Littlefield and three of his boys also were there. Others joined them later. This is an annual happening for the Littlefields.

Hagen Palmer was advanced to a Priest in Henrieville Ward. Congratulations Hagen.

Congratulations to Chris Mathews who is engaged to Kayla Lesicka. They will be getting married on August 3rd in Pioche Nevada and have an Open House on 17 August in Henrieville. The couple met while Chris was getting physical thereapy in St. George. Kayla is a nurse at the hospital. They met and fell in love and are very happy to be getting married. We wish them a happy life full of

adventure and goodness.

Lula Moore and family held their annual Family Reunion at Pine Lake and Tropic Reservoior on the 21st and 22nd of June. Doyle and Kathryn Neilson had their children here from Panguitch and Davis County. It was a lot of fun for everyone and Lula just loves to have her family around her.

In November she will be turning 94 years old but she is still active and loves going to these gatherings. Frankie and Gayle Moore and many others were in attendance also.

The Henrieville youth did baptisms for the dead in St. George on Saturday.

Brett Chynoweth is the recipient of a letter and certificate from Governor Herbert. Brett was named to the State Water Board. He has spent countless hours training in water and waste water management.

He recently spent a lot of time working with Larry Rose to get the Henrieville water clean and drinkable. It was greatly appreciated. The Tropic citizens are treated to his expertise all the time and we appreciate him.

Congratulations to Mike and Kathryn Riffel who just celebrated 50 years of marriage. What a wonderful event that is. There were over seventy members of their family here to celebrate with them. Way to go folks. We wish you many more happy years together.

Gary and Gail Tanner had their beautiful baby boy, Truman, on Friday the 28th. He entered the world weighing 7 lbs.

4 oz. and was 20 1/2” long. This is their first child and they are so happy to welcome him to their life. Grandparents are Larry and Glenna Fletcher of Cannonville.

Congratulations to you folks.

This year was the Max L. Stewart reunion. It was held in John’s Valley. All 5 families were there. They did a morning hike from Sunset Point to Tropic, played in Pine Lake to escape the heat, watched the balloon launch in Panguitch and went for a beautiful drive up east and west hunt on the Dutton. It was cloudy most of the time so the weather was pretty nice. All the grand kids had a great time together and they celebrated Maren’s birthday at the reunion too. The adults enjoyed watching the kids and visiting.

Released from Primary as teachers were Berdell and Car-

ma Barton. Called to work in the Primary was Evan and Jacque Scott. Speaking in Tropic was Logan Le Fevre, Dan Fagergren and Laren Le Fevre. The Young Men sang a beautiful rendition of “Called to Serve”. In Henrieville it was Marc McLemore and his son, Logan who spoke and Kalena Kilfoyle sang a beautiful song. She was here for her Riffel’s 50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration.

The BVES Reading Program for the summer begins on July 1st and runs through August 7th. They will meet each Monday and Wednesday at the elementary library from 10”30 - 12:00. Teachers are Samie Ott and Kim Stewart.

The Henrieville 4th of July celebration starts at 8:00 A.M. and lunch will be at 11:30 A.M. at the town park.

Happy to see Leo Chynoweth home for awhile between his treatments for cancer. Mary Lou Neilson is back in Garfield Memorial Hospital getting treatments so she can get her strength back again. Hope both of you are soon feeling chipper and making good progress with your health.

Congratulations to Tyson and Rochelle Platt on the birth of their cute little boy. Grandparents are Mechele Page of Tropic and Ken and Artoise Platt of Henrieville.

The Henrieville and Cannonville ladies were treated to guest speaker, Sheena Clark and her co-worker as they talked about Abuse and how to recognize it and the warning signs. The ladies work at the Canyon Creek Crisis Center in Cedar City and came to help everyone understand how serious abuse can be.

Catherine Littlefield and Vicki Syrett spent a fun day attending a Shakespeare Play and going out to dinner. We saw “Anything Goes” and it was wonderful and so funny. It was in celebration of Catherine’s birthday.

It is so sad to hear of the 19 firefighters in Arizona who lost their lives fighting a ferocious fire. It touched the lives of many in our little valley who had at one time or another fought in a fire with them. We send our prayers and thoughts to the families.

Have a great week and don’t melt under this heat. Whew.

Please call or email your news to me. Thanks VS.

ESCALANTE News

by Marlene Haws ~ 826-4859 • marleneh@color-country.net Oh, to be on the mountain, now that summer is here! But at least the wind has slowed down a bit, we have had a few clouds, a little thunder and a flash or two of lightning. So keep on praying folks, the rain will come!

There is a fire restriction on both state and federal lands right now. Open fires are restricted and our fire chief, Don Porter, has asked that everyone remove dry weeds from their property and please do not burn weeds or trash. Our water supply is dwindling and the last thing we need is a fire.

Former residents, Hubert and Cheryl Munson, St. George, were overnight guests at the home of Ben and Renee Porter last week. All were students at the EHS at the same time, so they probably had a good visit with lots of reminiscing.

Renee also spent a day in Tropic with her sister Ruth Baugh.

My son, Robert, and I went to Salina on Saturday of last week. We got in on part of their Balloon FestivaI, then I stayed there to visit with my daughter, Jillyn Sorensen, and her family and Robert went on to Price to visit with some of his friends there. I also got to visit with the family of Brandon and Sarina Haws and see their new month old baby boy, along with their other four children.

The “Top of Zion Race and Relay” runners passed through Escalante last Friday. It was hotter than Hades that day and I heard one father say to his son, “Do you have a gun?” The son replied, “No, why?” and

the father said, “I was just going to say, if you did I’d shoot you for getting me into this.” Then they both laughed, of course. I can only imagine what it would have been like by the time they reached Zion Canyon!

While participating in a bake sale at the city park that same day, as Tari Cottam bent over to pick something up off the ground something gave way in her lower back and put her right down. Ryan got her home and with some assistance from Lex Allen, who is just ready to begin his medical career as a doctor, they were able to make her comfortable and she is now trying to recover from a slipped disc, a pinched nerve or whatever the diagnosis was.

Lex Allen is a son of Greg and Debbie Allen. Another son, Lance, is also a doctor and now practices in Richfield. And apparently still another son, Luke, and his wife are both going into the same field of medicine.

Quite a record for one family.

I’m sure Greg and Debbie are very proud and rightfully so!

Stanley and Marlene Stowe rode their motorcycles into Colorado with a group of cyclists last week. This week they will attend their annual Griffin family reunion campout on Boulder Mountain, hosted this year by the family of Vaunie Richins.

The family of DeLane Griffin will help him celebrate his 90th birthday on Sunday, July 8th. His actual birthdate is the 7th. Happy Birthday, DeLane.

Both Lana Jordon and Arvonne Whittaker have recently visited here in town at the home

of their late parents, Edson and Iona Alvey.

Neuman and Lucinda Duncan, Cedar City, came to visit Lucinda’s mom, Florence Alvey, last week. They helped her get some weeds out of the garden and did some other odd jobs while they were here.

Thais Griffin took a fall at the senior citizen center. (Sorry, Thais, I don’t know how else to word it!) She had to go in to have X-Rays but luckily there were no broken ribs, as it was first thought, just badly bruised.

She felt so bad because they had planned to go up North to see their son, Mark, the next day. But because of her determination she had a bed built for her in the back seat of the car, with plenty of pillows, and she and Gene went ahead with their plan. They stayed 3 days with their son and daughter-in-law, Gary and his wife Sheila, in Woodland Hills (Salem, Utah) and visited with Mark and his wife Tina before returning home.

Lee and Cindy Davis went to the temple in Manti and also attended the pageant.

The Escalante Stake Presidency, Klin Chynoweth, Kerry Alvey and Quinn Griffin were the speakers in the second ward on Sunday. Will and Katie Godsey and Brace Griffin were the speakers in the First Ward.

The family of Yoland and the late Dave McInelly hosted the McInelly reunion in Escalante last weekend from Friday night until Sunday. Those in attendance were: Kent and Phyllis McInelly and their daughter, Cindy. Mary and Sherrill Davis and 3 of their family. Chan McI-

nelly and 4 of his family. Myrna and Scott Watts and 5 of their family. Yoland had her daughters, Andrea and 4 of her family. Amy and 5 of her family.

And from Escalante: Jody and Kay Brooks, Krystal and Chad Porter and family plus daughter Bailey and Levi Costigan and their new baby girl.

Lynn and Judy Griffiin had Jill and two children, Kelly and four children (Her husband and son were at the Barker on a scout campout) Dawn and Jason Spencer and family.

Their daughter, Judilyn, and husband Gary Christensen were hosting the Christensen Reunion on Boulder Mountain. Judilyn reported later that they had a good turn out and a good time.

Grena and Mike Searle had daughters Heidi and kids, Misty and her husband, Tammy (a granddaughter?) (4 of her kids ran in the top of Zion run on Saturday and took third place!)

Vern and Kathy McInelly attended the reunion on Saturday.

None of Wells and Emma Lou McInelly’s family were able to come.

They had lots of good food, did a lot of visiting and said the new playground at the park was wonderful for the kids.

There will be lots of Family reunions this month so PLEASE won’t you share your news with us? It is always fun to hear who has been HOME and that you are still doing well, even if we don’t always get to see you we think about when you used to live here and how much fun we used to have.

Good times!

Now in its fifth year, the Active Trails program supports hands-on projects that encourage the public to lead healthy lives by actively engaging in trail work, special events and community activities that help restore, protect and/or create land and water trails across the country.

Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Rethink Diné Power, and the San Juan Watershed Woody-Invasives Initiative will use the 2013 America’s Best Idea grant to engage Diné (Navajo) youth

in natural and cultural stewardship activities along their beloved San Juan River. Diné youth will develop natural resource management skills through engaging in invasive plant management and native plant restoration activities, and by assisting researchers with a desert bighorn sheep study.

Diné youth will restore cultural connections by participating in traditional ceremonies, learning about Diné ethnobotany, preparing traditional Diné foods, and by exploring their relationship with Mesa Verde National Park.

“It is an honor and a privilege to be selected to receive this grant. This is a great opportunity to work with local partners and community members to showcase our parks and improve overall community wellness,” said Superintendent

Todd Brindle.

Since 2008, the National Park Foundation has granted nearly $1.7 million through its Active Trails program. To date, Active Trails has engaged more than 4,700 volunteers and 131 project partners who combined have contributed more than 21,000 hours to help promote, refurbish or build national park trails that were ultimately enjoyed by 304,000 visitors (and counting!).

This project was made possible in part by a grant from the National Park Foundation through the generous support of Coca-Cola and the Coca-Cola Foundation. A listing of parks and their Active Trails project descriptions can be found on the National Park Foundation website.

Don’t Get ‘Spoofed’ by Rogue Callers

Mondays in the Park Concerts Begin on July 8

by Jason Alderman

Summer concert series in Liberty Park features music, crafts

The Tablado Flamenco Dance Troupe.

SALT LAKE CITY - It’s summertime, and for many this means a few extra trips up to the city for shopping, appointments and visits with friends and family. If your’re there on a Monday night, one option is to enjoy an evening outdoors and catch a dance or music performance in Liberty Park.

Utah Arts & Museums has just announced the schedule for their 2013 Mondays in the Park summer concert series. Featuring Utah artists and presented by Excellence in the Community and Utah Arts & Museums, these events feature music and dance performances rooted in the traditions of Utah’s ethnic communities.

“Mondays in the Park concerts are a wonderful summer tradition,” said Utah Arts & Museums Director Lynnette Hiskey. “We have an excellent lineup of performing artists this year, featuring blues, flamenco, Polynesian, East Indian, Vietnamese, Latino, American Indian and Brazilian music and dance. We encourage everyone to bring lawn chairs, friends and family to join us for outdoor evenings celebrating Utah’s rich cultural heritage. This year we’ve also invited a selection of local craft artists to participate and display their work.”

Mondays in the Park concerts are held selected Mondays in July and August at 7:00 p.m. on the front porch of the Chase Home Museum of Utah Folk Arts, located in the center of Salt Lake City’s Liberty Park. Attendees can enter the park from 900 South or 1300 South at about 600 East. The series begins July 8 and runs through August 19, 2013.

July 8 - Harry Lee and the Back Alley Blues Band Harry Lee and his band formed 18 years ago under the moniker “The Part Timers” to host a Sunday blues jam at The Old Bottling House. The Back Alley Blues Band was born when Harry struck out from the jam to entertain under his own flag. Harry has been entertaining in Utah and all over the West his entire adult life and recently finished a European tour.

July 15 - Tablado Flamenco Dance Troupe Tablado was founded in 2001 by Solange Gomes and Jim Moreno. The company combines the vigor and passion of traditional flamenco with the vitality of the modern style through unique arrangements

made by this authentic cuadro flamenco. Tablado’s concerts blend aesthetics, meld genres and connect with audiences.

July 22 - Island Time II Island Time II plays songs from a wide variety of musical traditions, but always adds an authentic Polynesian vibe.

Combining music and dance, Island Time II brings the sense of aloha to every performance.

The band started in Gardena and Carson, California, and has performed throughout the United States and Canada, including regular involvement in Hawaii with the Polynesian Cultural Center, International Market Place, Duke Kahanamoku’s and Don the Beachcomber’s.

July 29 – Sudha’s Indian Classical Dance Group and Lac Viet Band Bharatha Natyam is one of the oldest dances from the southern part of India. This 2,000-year-old art form has been an effective means of connecting people and has survived centuries of social and political upheaval. Sudha received a fellowship award in 2006 and was a master teacher for the Idaho Commission on the Arts. The Lac Viet Band was formed by Lan Nguyen, formerly a principal dan tranh player for the Saigon Opera. She was the first Vietnamese dan tranh player to learn Western music notation and apply it to the transcription of Vietnamese folk songs.

She studied both in Vietnam’s National Music School and in Japan, and then taught other young Vietnamese immigrants to play the instruments she had learned.

August 5 – Mariachi Sol de Jalisco and Ballet Folklorico de las Americas Mariachi Sol de Jalisco plays traditional tunes and songs made popular by famous Mexican singers; Ballet Folklorico de las Americas is one of Utah’s oldest Latin American folk dancing groups. Mariachi Sol de Jalisco began more than 20 years ago in Jalisco when Jose Orozco Martinez taught his six small children to play the violin, guitar, vihuela and other instruments. Ballet Folklorico was formed in 1979 and represents the cultural heritage of Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean.

August 12 – Nino Reyos and the Twoshields Dance Troupe Nino Reyos is a member of the Northern Ute and Laguna Pueblo Indian Nations.

He has performed throughout

July 4, 2013

the United States, including at the Indian summer gathering in Milwaukee, WI. Nino was one of five flute players selected to be part of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games Opening Ceremonies. His third CD was released in the spring of 2004 and won an International Telly award and received a Native American Music Award nomination.

August 19 – Evening in Brazil Join musicians Mike Christiansen, Eric Nelson, Christopher Neale, Linda Linford, Lars Yorgason, Don Keipp and Jason Nicholson for Brazilian music from the Bossa Nova movement. This show includes the classics of Antonio Carlos Jobim (1927-1994), a Grammy Award-winning Brazilian songwriter, composer, arranger, singer and guitarist.

Music from other contemporary Brazilian composers will showcase the diverse regional rhythms of Brazil.

When caller ID first arrived on the scene it seemed like a godsend to many people: Now you could easily identify who was on the line and ignore unwanted calls, whether from telemarketers, an ex-boyfriend or an unfriendly collection agency.

But as often happens, unscrupulous individuals soon began manipulating the technology to defraud people by pretending to be someone else.

Their scheme is called “caller ID spoofing” and disturbingly, it’s perfectly legal in many cases.

Here’s how caller ID spoofing works and what precautions you should take to avoid being victimized: For a very low cost, businesses and individuals can use widely available caller ID spoofing software to generate calls that alter the telephone number and/or name which appear on the recipient’s caller ID screen.

Police, private investigators and collection agencies have used legal spoofing services for many years. Others who might have a legitimate reason to hide their identity when making a call include domestic violence victims and doctors returning patient calls who don’t wish to release their private telephone numbers.

Beyond that, the lines of legality begin to blur. The Truth in Caller ID Act of 2009 prohibits anyone from transmitting misleading or inaccurate caller ID information with the intent to defraud, cause harm or wrongfully obtain anything of value. Violators can be penalized up to $10,000 for each infraction. Unfortunately, such penalties haven’t dissuaded many scammers.

One common scam involves spoofers pretending to represent a bank, government agency, insurer, credit card company or other organization with which you do business. They count on you being reassured after recognizing the company’s name on your screen.

Under the pretext of warning about an urgent situation (breached account, late payment, pending insurance claim, missed jury duty summons, etc.), the spoofer will try to coax you into revealing personal or account information, supposedly to verify their records.

Often these are robocalls, where a recorded voice asks you to stay on the line to speak to a representative or call another number for more information. Do not. If you suspect the call might possibly be genuine, contact the company yourself at the toll-free number found on your card, account statement or the company’s website.

You should never reveal your full Social Security number, mother’s maiden name, credit card number, passwords or other private information over the phone unless you initiated the call yourself. Someone possessing such information

could use it to gain access to your existing accounts to withdraw or transfer money, raise credit limits or snoop around your recent activity, among other intrusions.

ID thieves also can use your personal information to open new credit accounts (e.g., credit cards, mortgage or car loan), create a new identity or even obtain a job fraudulently.

Often, you won’t even realize something’s wrong until a collection agency – or the IRS – starts hounding you for unpaid bills or taxes.

Another common caller ID spoof involves hacking into someone’s voice mail account.

Many cellphone users never bother to set up passwords on their voice mailboxes. And, since many voicemail systems grant access to callers phoning from their own number, a hacker could easily spoof your number and gain access to your messages.

Bottom line: You wouldn’t give your personal information to a stranger on the street. Take the same level of precaution with strangers on the phone – or online.
