Heaton's Basketball Camps: A Lost Art down the jump shot, cross over, and other fundamentals for eager hoopsters; A tedious task that most coaches don’t want to do, much less the athlete.

“The teaching of fundamentals is a lost art that takes hours and hours,” says Heaton.

“I recently got an email from a fellow who was promoting a camp that attributes the demise of American basketball on an international level to the lack of fundamentals being taught to the youth. We have great athletes in the USA but European and other countries are catching us by using fundamentals to stay with our athleticism. I agree with that.”

You won’t find the hefty A. E. Wong

Coach Ferril Heaton teaching basketball fundementals.

ORDERVILLE - Tucked in the seams of the small town of Orderville, in Southern Utah, is a treasure that only the Basketball Gods and those that have been privy to partake of the treasure through the years will appreciate. It is the Ferril Heaton Basketball Camp and has become somewhat of a lost art in a basketball-camp-world now filled with games, T-shirts, swimming, cafeteria plans, and fun filled days in dorms and motels.

The origins of this 28 year historical treasure began when Coach Ferril Heaton took over a newly formed Girls Athletics Program not long after Title IX was passed, giving women free rein to play sports. Heaton had recently coached in New Mexico, a state that was further ahead in women’s sports, and wanted to introduce the small Long Valley area to women’s sports, so he invited his coaching friend, By Beckstead, from Kirtland, New Mexico to bring over a group of college-bound

female athletes to teach some shooting and dribbling drills to his team and some of the boys in the community. This was 1981, and the emergence of Heaton’s first shooting camps in Southern Utah. He developed the belief from watching some of these female athletes from New Mexico shoot, that girls could shoot the ball as well as a boy, given proper instruction.

Soon, not only was Beckstead giving instruction each summer at Valley High School but he was on a crusade to teach proper shooting form to other small town girls in Southern Utah and elsewhere. Then as the saying goes, “Success breeds Success!” Soon Heaton too was off and running with a few 1A State Titles in his pocket and others around the state wanting to know how he had done it. Ever since, he has become the state Guru of basketball shooting and has been traveling border to border and beyond, on a crusade to break

Escalante Showhouse Re-opens!

Owners Jenifer and Shannon Steed Breathe New Life Into Theater, Beginning with July 4 Opening Party ESCALANTE - It was a balmy and perfect July 4 summer evening, under calm skies and with bright flowers and American flags lining the downtown block of Main Street. Escalante residents couldn’t have asked for a more perfect night for the re-opening of the town’s most iconic building, the old Escalante Showhouse.

The Depression-era structure with the round-roof façade has sat mostly vacant and unused for the past 40 or so years—ever since the last movie was shown there in 1976. At long last, the building has been infused with new energy by local entrepreneurs Jenifer and Shannon Steed.

On re-opening night, under a fresh coat of stucco and with a completely renovated and bright new interior—wood floors and tables polished to a high gloss— it’s fair to say that the place positively gleamed.

Originally built in 1938, the old movie theater served for several generations as the primary source of “something to do” in town, and possibly holds more collective memories for those who grew up and lived out their lives here than any other public structure in Escalante.

As Shannon Steed says, “Just about everybody’s got a story related to this place—and some of them you can’t tell.”

Shannon Steed, of course, has his own personal tale related to the theater, from when he

The rural decline of school enrollments and of school children in Garfield County Back in the 1990s the Government announced that they were building a Visitors Center and Office buildings to house over 50 employees in Escalante. Instead of welcoming 50 plus families to their town, they put a moratorium on their water meters. This moratorium lasted nine years and with it came the loss of many of their population and school age children. These government families relocated to Cannonville and Henrieville, much to the delight of Bryce Valley Schools. The town did not discriminate though, Mr. Brinkerhauf, the current Principal at Bryce Valley (BV), was previously the wood shop teacher at Escalante High School (EHS) for nine years. Of those nine years he applied for water for seven of them and was turned down. He had his choice to stay at EHS or go to BV. He told me on numerous times how much he loved Escalante and the kids, but he was given no choice and moved to BV. The moratorium was lifted when Mayor Taylor took office, however the damage was done.

Mayor Taylor told me that their springs could have handled over 300 additional water meters.

The people of Garfield County have reached out to Escalante time and time again. They voted to build a very badly needed High School there, however an additional 3 million dollars was also spent on an auditorium. The School Board spent $250,000 on renovating the elementary school fixing electrical and classroom repairs. Because of the high water cost for Escalante Schools (40,000/year) the then Principal Angie Alvey, with the help from the then Elementary school Ms. Adams, ran an irrigation line from the elementary school to the high school to water the ball fields. The water bill dropped to $7,000/year.

Unfortunately, shortly after the school board voted to put in $700,000 water well for Escalante Schools. This cost the citizens of Garfield Co. $55,000/year for Escalante Schools alone, almost two teacher’s wages. When Alvey was the Principal at Escalante their pupil census was equal to Bryce Valley. This year there will be less than forty students at EHS 9th thru 12th.

Boulder is in the same boat. Ten years ago they had 24 students and two teachers, this last year they had only six students.

Some people move to areas like Boulder to get away from it all, and much of the decreasing student numbers is secondary to families also choosing to home school their children. I know the state gives a lot of money to keep these small schools running, but when do you say enough is enough and start bussing the kids to a nearby school?

The other side of the coin, if all of the students were in Escalante schools, then Bryce Valley would be hurting for students.

Panguitch on the other hand, like Ruby’s Inn and Bryce Valley has embraced the All American Highway 12 and all that it brings to Garfield County. Panguitch’s student enrollment has grown over the last 10 years, and the tourism and all the city events that go on, have created many new jobs.

To quote the recent article in the 6/24/2015 Salt Lake Tribune, “more than half of the counties in this nation lost population between 2010 and 2014, many are facing a death spiral.

Young adults who grew up in rural area are going to the big cities, taking their families with them, in pursuit of jobs that can sustain a family.” Rural Utah usually pays minimum wage and even when they get good workers, they refuse to increase their pay. It is difficult even with both husband and wife working to raise a family with the low income and little to no benefits. Another area where jobs are dwindling in our communities is on our farms that used to take a big family to run, now only need just a few, since the advent of new farm equipment.

In the Tribune they spoke about “population drops until schools are forced to close…this is true not only in Utah and Nevada where the federal government owns large swaths of land, but in other states such as Arkansas, Nebraska, Kansas and the Dakotas, where the feds control very little territory. In rural Arkansas, a report documented the closure of 53 high schools and 44 elementary schools in their rural areas, over the past 10 years.”

“Rural America is in a decline everywhere. It’s sad. But there is nothing special or especially wrong about what is going in the sparsely populated parts of Utah.” (Salt Lake Tribune) In the Golden Nugget book on pre 1940 history of Garfield County there were 4,500 people living in Garfield in 1907, not much has changed. I grew up in Los Angeles, CA and at my 50th class reunion not a single classmate lived in our old neighborhood.

People have different ideas what they want in life and will go where they can pursue their dreams. Our two daughters moved to Utah from California shortly after they got out of high school and this is one of the reasons we are here. For various reasons people come and go from Garfield County and it should be our goal as a county-community to cultivate an open, safe, and welcoming environment for all.

I appreciate the two letters to the editor in last week’s paper.

They were positive and offered suggestions for ideas on what could be done to help the economy in the eastern part of Garfield County. Thank you-- Karen Munson, from Escalante, and Lisa Varga, from Boulder. I especially liked Ms. Varga’s closing statement, “with a change in attitude and a will to work we can create a prosperous future for ourselves and our children.”

Panguitch City Experiences 3.9 Earthquake PANGUITCH - Just before 10 a.m. on July 4 as Panguitch residents were preparing to watch the annual Children’s Bike Parade there was a loud noise as the ground shook from a 3.9 earthquake located 2 miles south of town. People were startled and the street was filled with concerned murmurs but there was no sense of panic after this occurrence. The parade went on as scheduled. Although many calls were received at the Garfield County Sheriff’s Department no structural damage has been reported.

into my classes, and to share it with the faculty at Mountain Heights and with other STEM teachers in Utah as well.”

Pace said she found out about the opportunity to apply for the Toshiba Academy leadership program because her students had participated in the Toshiba Explore a Vision completion earlier this year. “I thought it sounded like fun,” she said. “Though I thought my odds of being selected were slim to none.”

This August, the winning teachers will join a team of Japanese counterparts in Tokyo to design a disasterresilient, smart community of the future. The teachers will be working on the project alongside eight U.S. students who were also selected to attend. With counsel from Toshiba engineers and a visit to the Toshiba Smart Community building, the teachers and students will work together to develop proposed solutions to problems using learning experiences that are central to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and the engineering design process.

“I hope that in the coming school year Mountain Heights will be able to connect with teachers from Japan to work together on a project,” Pace said. “There is so much to learn about STEM from other cultures, and we have a lot to share about digital learning.”

As a member of the State Textbook Adoption Committee, Pace has worked on state test item writing, in addition to serving on the State Health Occupation Students of America Advisory Board. She has also been involved with the Utah Science Teachers Association for several years, serving three years as regional representative, and one term as president. Pace has received several prestigious awards during her teaching career, including: the Presidential Award for Excellence in Math and Science Teaching, the Governor’s Medal for Science and Technology, and was recently recognized as a PBS Digital Innovator.

Pace graduated from Southern Utah University.

This is her fifth year lending her skills as an award-winning science teacher to Mountain Heights Academy.

Mountain Heights Academy is a tuition-free, online public charter school founded in 2009, available to all Utah students in grades 7 – 12. The academy had a 2015 enrollment of about 500 students throughout Utah. Pace says her winning essay about utilizing online educational environments to personalize each student’s education is at the core of Mountain Heights Academy and her work as a teacher.

“In an online environment,” Pace said “students are able to access the lessons and view them as many times as they want or need. The student can contact their teacher any time via email or using Google Chat whenever they have questions. We’ll see a chat line come through…'can you help me?' One thing this does is take away the fear and stigma of raising their hand in front of classmates. The relationship is just between the student and the teacher and we can spend as much or as little time as they need, and this is great for kids on all parts of the spectrum, from special education students to honor students.”

In response to winning the opportunity to participate in a project at the Toshiba Academy in Japan, Pace said, “I am really excited and honored to represent the state of Utah, and I look forward to what we’re going to do!”

price tag at his camps. It is only $90 for 30 hours of instruction, which translates to $3 per an hour for each athlete of the 30-60 per session. Most of the payment comes in sweat equity that each boy or girl puts into his or her shot or dribbling move. There are children at his camps from 6 all the way up to senior in high school and he has even fixed college and NBA players' shooting form. Funny thing is, he has also done his camp at family reunions.

“It’s a tough camp and very repetitious for the participant” says Heaton of the muscle-memory needed to maintain what he and his staff drill. “It is boring and I have had coaches ask me how I can teach this stuff week after week and be on my feet that long.

Many athletes don’t want to go through the toughness and sore muscles required of the camp so they elect for more fun camps.”

It is this passion that has made his programs and others around the state better as he has quietly walked the hardwoods of this state teaching girls and boys alike how to bring their shot to an “L” or jump hop into a jump shot or keep their dribble on their “x”. He has made the fundamentals of basketball an art or maybe he has brought the science into the game, but nonetheless he is fulfilling a role in the basketball kingdom that is becoming extinct. Or perhaps it is his persistence that has leaked into other successful programs that have been motivated by his persistence preaching of fundamentals as the vitality to success in high school athletics.

These are the fundamentals taught at his camps: Dribbling both hands, cross over, spin reverse, hesitation, “Allen Iverson”, jump stops, shooting, break down jump shot, dribbling into jump shot, guard moves, and post moves. Not to mention all the life lessons taught about perseverance and hard work.

Heaton teaches a camp each June in Orderville but he also provides them at various high schools through out the state each summer.

there are so many good memories of the place,” says Steed.

“My cousin and I were both brought to tears the first time we walked into the show house,” says Sherree Rechsteiner. Sherree and her cousin Peggy Meisenbach’s shared grandfather, Loren Griffin, built the show house and they grew up in and around the goings-on there.

“The Steeds have done such a good job at restoration—we were thrilled,” says Rechsteiner.

A common local desire for decades was that someone would ‘do something” with the theater. Shannon says that for he and Jenifer the idea came up “over a toddy” in the back yard. Former building owner John Dunn had just put up a “for sale” sign and they saw it as an opportunity. After another offer had fallen through during

escrow, Shannon and Jenifer purchased the building in October of 2013. Over time, they applied for and received a Rural Fast Track grant from the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development. Following that, once work began, the renovations went rather swiftly.

“Though actually, even a few days before our targeted opening date, we weren’t really sure if it was going to happen, and then we decided ‘Yes, we can do it!” says Jenifer Steed.

During opening night the Steeds offered a complimentary evening of food and music for more than 200 guests, who were entertained by Boulder musician Raymond Shurtz and band, while enjoying one of the Steed’s signature Dutch ovenstyle buffet dinners.

Shannon and Jenifer say the renovations were a lot of hard work, but one of the fun parts is that there are a lot of

Stargazing Tips

by Linton Rohr

The Summer Milky Way

After the spectacular conjunction of Venus and Jupiter at the end of June, Jupiter has continued to move slowly westward, while Venus climbs even higher… approaching Regulus, at the foot of Leo. Regulus is a first magnitude star, the 21st brightest in all the sky, but it pales compared to the two brightest planets. The three now form a wide triangle, which changes shape nightly. Next Saturday evening, the 18th, a thin, 3-day old crescent moon will appear, creating an exceptionally beautiful grouping. Don’t miss it! And if you’re sharp-eyed, have a low horizon, and time it right (don’t wait until it’s dark - the younger the moon, the closer it follows the sun!), you might spot the even-thinner crescent the night before.

But right now, with the waning moon rising later and later in the night, the dark night sky is once again allowing the Milky Way to show its glory. It’s already rising even as twilight fades, and is visible as soon as the sky is truly dark. And we’re fortunate to have truly dark sky here… most Americans can no longer see the Milky Way from their homes, due to the proliferation of outdoor lighting. The band of galactic starlight grows brighter and more detailed as it gets higher in the sky, since the light passes through far less atmosphere... 50 miles worth straight overhead versus about 3 times that at the horizon. What we’re seeing is actually another, more inward spiral arm of our own galaxy. In the summer, we’re looking inward toward the galactic core, which lies at the southern end, in Sagittarius. (The brighter stars of Sagittarius form a “teapot” shape, or “asterism”, with which you might be familiar.) We can’t see the actual galactic core, due to immense clouds of cosmic dust that are in the way, but it’s quite spectacular nonetheless! I like to visualize the 3D aspect of it all… the spiral arms wrapping around our little spec of a solar system and continuing on around the other side of the Earth… where it’s daylight now. That’s the outer Milky Way… which we see on winter nights… but, more on that later.

Further to the north along the Milky Way, three bright stars form the huge “Summer Triangle”. Vega, the “Queen of the Summer Sky”, is at the top, with Deneb to the lower left and Altair further and lower to the right. It seems aptly named now, but not so much around Thanksgiving, when it’s still lingering in the west!

But that’s a big part of watching the night sky… shifting with the seasons… year after year. Stay tuned…

original elements from the building and from around town integrated into the final design.

“I took the floor joists, and made the table tops out of those,” says Shannon Steed. “And the original flooring is in there--it’s even still got bubble gum stuck to it from McKay Bailey not sweeping it up enough,” he joked.

Shannon added that you can see the marks where the old theater chairs were screwed into the flooring. The stage floor is completely original and the stage ladder came from the old Alvey barn, which was originally built in 1939 but blew down a few years back, which the Steeds got from Tyler Lyman. And the old barn doors that serve as stage doors were built by Hode Alvey.

The Steeds recognize and thank Reed Munson Construction, Lenza Wilson and Mario Plancarte for their work on the building, and Tracy and Jana Hassett who helped with the Escalante Showhouse Web site and with applying for the Rural Fast Track grant. And they thank Bill and Bev Kuhns who helped with the table décor.

The Escalante Showhouse will be featuring musical performances, plays and dinner events, and is available for private parties and meetings. “We’ve got a few plays and concerts lined up, and already we’ve been booked for a family reunion, a wedding reception and a class reunion,” says Jenifer Steed.

The Escalante Showhouse will be available year-round for events, meetings and private parties. To check out their event schedule, go to Escalanteshowhouse.com or call Jenifer at 435826-4849 to inquire about booking options.

Six School Districts Receive Grants CEDAR CITY - Southwest Educational Development Center (SEDC) in conjunction with Southwest Applied Technology College (SWATC), Utah State Office of Education, Utah Education Network, Cache Valley Electric, Mountain West Computers, South Central Communications, CompuNet, and six school districts : Millard, Garfield, Kane, Beaver, Washington and Iron are pleased to be the recipients of a State of Utah Department of Workforce Services, Utah Cluster Acceleration Partnership (UCAP) grant called CyberCorps for the teachers and students in our southwest area high schools.

This grant will facilitate and guide students to receive training and experience through a hands-on authentic learning environment. CyberCorps students will learn how to successfully support Information Technology (IT) for their own schools while developing valuable career skills in an IT field. As they learn more in the areas of IT, students will be able to better determine their interests and aptitude in a high-need IT profession.

This is going to be an amazing opportunity for high school students with an interest in Informational Technology and help give them a jump start into the job market. If you have questions about this program contact your local school district.

Growing Farm to School Programs

by John Crabtree, Center for Rural Affairs

Farm to school programs offer children better, fresher, more nutritious, and more local food choices that empower children and their families learn more about the food on their plates and make better food choices. These programs also help strengthen rural and small town economies by creating economic opportunities for local farmers and ranchers as well as local food processors.

As part of the upcoming

Child Nutrition Act Reauthorization, Congress needs to build on the success of farm to school by strengthening and expanding the program’s scope and by providing additional mandatory funding.

Earlier this year, Representative Jeff Fortenberry (R-NE) and Representative Marcia Fudge (D-OH) took a huge step in that direction when they introduced the Farm to School Act to expand and strengthen the U.S Depart-

ment of Agriculture (USDA) Farm to School Grant programs. Senator Thad Cochran (R-MS) and Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) introduced a companion bill in the Senate.

As Rep. Fortenberry explained at the time, schools throughout the U.S. are eagerly embracing local foods from local farms, with more than 10,000 schools participating in Farm to School programs nationally. The Farm to School Act will also expand existing USDA Farm to School Grant programs to include preschools and summer and after school programs. The Center for Rural Affairs applauds Rep. Fortenberry, Rep. Fudge, Senator Cochran and Senator Leahy for their effort to promote the use of fresh, locally produced food in even more schools and educational programs.

June 23rd was the day local fire-fighting heroes came to the Bookmobile summer reading program! Our favorite story-teller, Paula Pace, started the program out with the GREAT, funny story called “No Dragon’s for Tea: Fire Safety for Kids” by Jean Pendziwol. Fire-Fighter Tracie Fallis and her husband the Torrey Fire Chief, Ed Fallis, were our special guests that a came in a fire truck. Tracie taught the kids a very important message to memorize if faced with the situation of being in a house on fire… “GET OUT, STAY OUT, DON’T GO BACK INSIDE!” The kids had a contest of who could yell it the loudest, boys or girls, and I’d have to say it was probably a tie! I think the children really got the message. They also learned how to get low, UNDER the smoke to crawl out of a burning building. The kids practiced crawling under a grey sheet. They played “Fire Tag” with a fire flame made out of red streamers. When it touched the kids, they would have to STOP, DROP AND ROLL before they could get up and go again. There was a relay race showing the kids how they put fires out the “old-fashioned” way… passing buckets of water down a line of people.

They had a lot of fun with that! The kids had the opportunity to get in the fire truck and see what tools they have available to firemen. The children were also shown a smoke detector and taught how to test it to make sure it works. All of the children went home with a little book on fire safety and prevention, a bookmark and a sticker. Everyone went home with a new appreciation for our local fire-fighter heroes!

Many thanks to Ed and Tracie Fallis, Paula Pace, Addison, Bethany, Jayden, West, Drew and others for volunteering.

The Bookmobile is cooperative agreement between the County and Department of Heritage and Arts / State Library Division.

Wills, Trusts, and More Better Estate Planning

by Jeffery J. McKenna An effective estate plan has many benefits. In the broadest sense, estate planning includes the process of accumulating, managing, and distributing property over the course of a lifetime. Satisfaction comes from knowing your objectives, taking practical approaches to achieve them, and avoiding hazards in the process.

An effective estate plan involves recognizing and coping with four financial challenges: 1. Dying Too Soon. For those with a sense of responsibility to loved ones, one of the greatest concerns is providing for them. Savings plans, retirement accounts, life insurance, and estate plans are just a few of the ways to assure financial security for loved ones.

2. Outliving One’s Resources. As time passes, the possibility of outliving one’s financial resources can be a concern. Many people will reduce what they spend today to ensure that they have ample funds for the later years. It can be a challenge to balance present and future needs.

3. Emergencies. Estate planning may ease the hazards of illness, accidents, and other unforeseen economic hardships. We can accumulate savings in order to be prepared, but insurance assumes greater importance as costs

increase. Medical, automobile, homeowners, and other insurance policies can help lessen the possibility that an emergency will unnecessarily deplete economic resources.

4. Mental and Physical Disability. It is vitally important to plan for adequate income and management of assets, in the event that a mental or physical disability impairs a person’s ability to manage his or her property. A number of financial arrangements, including various types of trusts and powers of attorney, can be created to help deal with the need for assistance in asset management. These trusts can also be set up for disabled family members.

Addressing each of the above concerns is the essence of an effective estate plan. Many people view estate planning, and particularly addressing the above concerns, as an overwhelming task. A good estate planning attorney can help bring order to what may otherwise seem to be too difficult to accomplish on your own.

Your estate planning attorney will take an organized approach to decide what is needed. Your attorney will help you focus on the “essential elements” of estate planning – the people in your life, the property you own, your plans for the future, and the persons who will assist you in

achieving your goals.

Like a building project, with the help of your attorney, you will start with your “blueprint” for setting out a plan.

You will determine the essential elements. In a few short days or weeks, your plan can become a reality.

WITH A SATELLITE OFFICE NOW IN PANGUITCH. Jeffery J. McKenna is a local attorney serving clients in Utah, Nevada, and Arizona.

He is a shareholder at the law firm of Barney McKenna and Olmstead. He is a founding member and former President of the Southern Utah Estate Planning Council. If you have questions regarding this article or if you have a topic you wish to have addressed in this column, you can call 435 6281711 or email jmckenna@ barney-mckenna.com.

An older client who frequented our veterinary clinic owned five poodles. Over the years, she brought her pets to us for routine checkups and procedures. She was devoted to the dogs. As time went on, the dogs aged, and one by one, each of her beloved pets died.

When the last of her dogs passed away, I expected a grieving client. Instead, she said: "Well, that is it then. My friend asked me to marry him five years ago, but he didn't like my dogs, so I declined.

Now that they're gone, I can marry him."

College Education?

As our commanding officer inspected his plane before takeoff, one of my fellow mechanics asked, "Excuse me sir.

Do you need to have a college education before they let you fly one of these?"

"Yes, that's true," said our CO. "So," continued my friend, "does it ever bother you that they let high school dropouts like me fix them?"

Ransom

At the data-entry company where I work, the other operators and I share a coffeepot. One morning I took it into the ladies' room to fill it with water.

Then I began preening in the mirror, brushing my hair and reapplying some makeup. I didn't realize how long I'd been until someone slid a note under the door.

"You win," it read. "Any ransom demand will be met. Just release the coffeepot."

The Tradition of the Navajo Hoop Dance

The hoop dance was originally performed as a part of a sacred healing ceremony and has been practiced by many Native American tribes for a very long time. It emerged in the 1930’s as a dance to celebrate sacred symbols, the environment and particular living creatures all captured by the shape of the hoops used by the dancer. For almost twentyfive years, The World Hoop Dance Competition has been held at the Heard Museum in Phoenix, Arizona and now embraces both men and women contestants. Thad Baldwin, a Utah Navajo, will talk about the dance’s heritage and the meaning of the various shapes made by

the hoops and will then demonstrate its beauty. When not teaching and demonstrating the hoop dance, Thad is an environmental scientist for the State of Utah Department of Environmental Quality.

A flight attendant on a United Air Lines cross-country flight nervously announced about thirty minutes outbound from Los Angeles, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I don't know how this happened, but we have 103 passengers aboard and only 40 dinners."

When the passengers' muttering had died down, she continued, "Anyone who is kind enough to give up his meal so someone else can eat will receive free drinks for the length of the flight."

Her next announcement came an hour later. "If anyone wants to change his mind, we still have twenty-nine dinners available!"

July 9, 2015

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com I love the 4th of July and here in Panguitch we are getting the Spirit big time. I was so tired that I didn’t hear the cannons going off at 6 am in the morning for once. The Panguitch Lions Club breakfast started it all off, with the best you can get anywhere, there will be one more of their breakfasts and that will be at the Fiddlers Festival. The kids parade was a monster, oh so many kids, riding on anything that moved. There was some antique cars and a clown riding in a cute little car and there was a really big crowd. To add to the excitement we had an earthquake at the start of the parade and the center of the quake was down 7 miles and registered 4.0 on the Richter Scale. The point of the quake was 1.3 miles south of the town, near the Catholic Church.

The PHS Seniors are in charge of the 4th and they put on a great burger fest down at the City Park. Jantzen Orton and Mazie Miller, members of the class presidency did a knock out job, putting on a first class 4th July luncheon.

They took care of everything, including thank you notes to the helpers. This year lunch was twice as big as last years and I hope that it will continue to grow with future classes.

One thing that was missing, not one elected official in the County was there supporting the Kids.

With all the clouds at fire works time, really magnified the beauty of the bombs bursting in air. Oh my do the

Fire Fighters put on a show or what? We have almost the perfect spot to watch the display, except for one tree that blocks the grand finale; I don’t suppose the City would cut it down.

To make it a perfect weekend, we were celebrating Pat's birthday and lo and behold our Granddaughter Teah came home for the occasion.

How great is that? Teah starts her 4th year of medical school on Tuesday and she is so much fun to be around, its hard to see her grow up.

This weekend, Friday the 10th and Sat. 11th, the Senior Pro Rodeo will be here at the Triple C Arena and it will start at 5:00 pm. Like Senior Golf this circuit supports the older Rodeo riders and boy do they put on a good show. You have to be 40 years or older to compete in this event. Most rodeo riders are finished up by 25 because a broken body and this gives them a second chance, to compete at something that is in their blood and in a sport that they love. If you can only make it to one Rodeo this is the one.

This Saturday is the Bryce Canyon to Cannonville half marathon. This event has become very popular and have brought as many as 1400 runners in to enjoy the scenery while they run a mostly down hill race. Last year there were a couple of really good runners who came in a head of the field by about 10 minutes. This event again requires a whole lot of volunteers and it is a really well run event.

There is a golf tournament as a fund raiser for the hospital on July 31st at the Richfield golf course. It will be a scramble, with a best ball format. Last year this tournament had 20 teams that signed up and they raised a lot of money for the Hospital.

The cost is $50.00 per person and this includes carts, golf and lunch and all the fun you can have chasing a little ball all over the place. Call Tom Langley at (676-2037 ) or Bob Lowe (735-4405) for registration information.

Next week the Fiddlers will be here on the 16th & 17th. This is always fun entertainment and they are so good and it is free. Come early and get good seats and again it will be at the Social Hall as usual.

It won’t be long before another big holiday, the 24th, so get your floats ready and polish up those street rods and old cars and mortgage your home to buy some taffy, it has really gotten expensive. The theme is “Welcome Home”.

Up at the Lake there is going to be the first annual Fall Festival on Sept. 18 -19.

There will be Live music, Sto-

rytelling and Folklore, Community Dancing, Pioneer and Native American Games, Pioneer Craft Demonstrating, and Family Friendly Entertainment. Panguitch Lake is doing this to extend their summer into Sept.

I have figured out how to miss the pot holes on “89” out to “12”. Drive near the white line on the right side and this will get you out of the truck ruts. However this may be a moot point, they have a lot of orange barrels out along the sides of the road so maybe it will be a badly needed resurfacing job.

Well I am wearing out, however it’s not what you might think. Pat spent the last 5 days pulling weeds at our daughter’s house. In that heat she was there six hours each day and filled up 35-55 gallon bags with weeds and dirt and it took two pickup truck loads to haul all of this mess away. Just watching her is really wearing me down.

Age is only a number, it’s what is in your heart that counts.

BRYCE VALLEY AREA NEWS

Last Monday the Eagar family took all the kids to mom's chemo. They wore their Race for Jace shirts to support their friend, Jace, who recently passed away from cancer.

They were so glad that they did, so many people asked about their shirts and they got the chance to tell them about Jace's fight and all the love for him, his family and our community. (From Max Eagar.)

Basically the info for the Pioneer Day Celebration is that it is scheduled for the 25th of July at the Tropic Town Park. The theme is Unity and is being put on by Henrieville this year. We are to meet at the Pioneer Flag Pole to the east of the Scout House at 9:00 A.M for opening Ceremonies. Following will be a tribute honoring the 90+ year olds in the valley, and then the Pioneer Parade. The parade floats are completely optional, but please dress as a pio-

neer. The games are starting at 10:00 A.M and everything are all centered on our pioneer heritage. Around 10:30 A.M. there will be music and talents on the stage area. At 11:00 A.M. lunch will begin with Hamburgers & drink $5.00, hot dogs & drink $2.50, and Indian Tacos & drink $7.00 on the menu. Lunch will be served until it is all gone. Be sure to bring your family out and enjoy celebrating our Pioneers and their settling of the state of Utah.

July 11th will be the annual 1/2 Marathon and 5K run.

You will check in on Friday at Cannonville Park from 3:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. when you will receive your packets and shirt. There will be shuttles running from Ruby's on Friday and Saturday. Remember the tee shirt is included in your registration fee. It should be a nice day for the run and there are water stations all along the

route for you and restrooms as well (the portable kind).

There will be a runner's spaghetti dinner on Friday evening from 6:00 P.M. until 9:00 P.M. at the Park in Cannonville. Lion Club Breakfast from 7:00 A.M. until 9:30 A.M. on Saturday. Meals are not included in the registration fee.

The 4th of July celebrations held in Henrieville and Tropic were very successful and the rain held off until the evening just in time for the BBQ dinner put on by the Tropic Volunteer Fire Department. In spite of the rain the food was absolutely delicious.

The fireworks that night were spectacular as usual and enjoyed by many. It was a good day all around and a feeling of love of Country and our Service men and women was felt by all. It is great we live in this free land and can do these kinds of celebrations

They held a Pot Luck Dinner and it was a great time getting caught up on each other. Myrna, Ramona Morreale, Alma Fletcher, and Danny Fletcher all brothers and sisters were all in attendance with all their families with them. There were about 40 people in attendance and although sister Donna Christensen has passed away some of her children came to join in the fun.

The Johnsons of Henrieville had a big family reunion and many attended the festivities while here.

Earl and Jacque Slack were delighted to have daughter, Kristine Valcarcel from St. George with her children, come to celebrate the fourth with them.

Congratulations to Ella Johnson, daughter of Carlon and Heather Johnson, on her choice to be baptized by her father. She wanted to wait to be baptized at the same time as her cousin from Ohio, Aiden Breit. His parents are Garret and Rachael Thompson Breit of Ohio. It was a good day for all.

Girl's Camp was marvelous as usual. The girls were spared from the severe storms

that many other places experienced and had some light showers. The mother's of the girls all wrote a letter to their daughters and then surprised them by coming to dinner on Tuesday night. Pres. Klin Chynoweth gave the program with Klay and Shayne Chynoweth also speaking and other guest speakers were Malory Clarke, Chelsea Thompson, and Alexis Tebbs. The guest speaker was Elder Ence of the Area Seventy. There were many great classes held and a big thanks goes out to Amy Syrett and Jennifer Fischer on their organizing and getting together this Girl's Camp. One thing the girls enjoyed was making fleece blankets for the children at Primary Children's Hospital. They also made paper cranes to put into the jar at the Hospital for the children to see. Shantel Manning and Brandi Webster gave the "Especially for Camp" program.

All the girls had a wonderful week.

We send out our wishes for a quick recovery for Rozin Manning, son of Gil and Shantel Manning of Cannonville.

Also to Sandy Boger we hope she has a speedy recovery and we send our thoughts and prayers your way.

Bryce Canyon City is getting ready to finish phase two of the Street Enhancement campaign.

Art and Vicki are excited to see grandson, Joshua Jensen, who is coming home from his Mission to Fukuoka Japan.

He worked with Arthur for a few years and so they have a great relationship. Joshua is the son of David and Debbie Jensen of Central Valley, Utah.

Have a safe week and stay healthy. Please call or email your news to me. Thanks VS.

Many thanks to Cory Jensen and his staff for facilitating the application process for Escalante to be designated a National Historic District in 2013.

This spring, we stared marking homes that are not in the brochure but are older structures. If we can find some of the old UDOT pressure treated 4" x 4" wooden posts that are at least 4' in length, we could continue this project on a request-by-thehomeowner basis. I have already received two new requests!

You can find the "Escalante, Utah, Historic District Guide Homes, Back Houses and Barns" at any local business and at the Visitor Centers.

Tuesday Every 2 weeks

July 14, 28 / Aug 11, 25 Hanksville Elementary 1:30 - 3:00pm HARSHAD P. DESAI as Panguitch City Council member (your public servant) – why ? – (1) Panguitch City Airport – I was there only once in 23 years. It was primarily (a) for political cronies to reach faster to Salt Lake city but we have no state cronies in Panguitch area now. (b) it was for medical helicopters (Garfield hospital to Panguitch Airport in ambulance and Panguitch Airport to SLC or St. George by helicopter). But Garfield Hospital has helicopter pad. (c ) City cronies to play hooky like “I am going to airport. I will be back”.

Panguitch Airport is one of 600 useless / inefficient airports in USA (wastage of money, read FAA audit reports). Bottom line – what do you get out of it ? (2) Panguitch City (CCC Arena) has lost it’s health license for >3 years. Ask any private restaurant owner how long would it take to be in compliance to stay open (compliance). Why is there nothing much on record ? Who is discussing what, with whom, where ? (3) Swimming pool issue is in >50 Panguitch city Council minutes (meaning >25 city council members over >15 years). How pathetic is this ? (4) Panguitch City Economic Development Chairman / Mayor (Mr. Eric Houston) took local monogamous entourage to Colorado (to study tourism) twice (>$10,000 ?). OK. Where is the fruit ? Colorado tourism is up by >300% because of Marijuana legalization (>$15 billion sales in first quarter of 2015). (5) Last weekend of June, 2015 (Rodeo- blichers) at CCC arena, Marianna Inn got 6 cancellations. Reason (per reservists) – “AC / Heating system at CCC arena (>$2 million baby) is not working. Too hot for horses to be in open -----.”

How long does it take if AC / Heater doesn’t work in hiding room of city office cronies ? (6) Public money means service + assets. We bought Alaska from Russia and Louisiana from France. Panguitch maintenance guys are driving 1970s trucks where Garfield County put one year old trucks on sale.

Panguitch assets – CCC arena (>$2 million baby), Air port, Baseball Diamond (>$2 million baby), Fire House (Taj Mahal for <50% requirement), and 1970’s trucks for maintenance guys. (7) State law – City and county employees’ change in compensation (raise, bonus, health plan, dental, 401K, Pension, etc.) must be discussed in open city council / county commission meeting and must have approval / disapproval by majority votes. We have Richard Nixon style – “I am the law”. Folks what we have is a cesspool infested with bacteria and viruses having developed culture of “You scratch our back and we scratch your’s when you get an itch. Hell with laws, transparency, public, etc.”. In Africa there is a unique variety of rats whose saliva contains complex alcohol. The rats eat away flesh of sleeping victim who does not feel pain for hours (until morning). Cesspool cannot be expected to be a swimming pool stocking it with more bacteria & viruses but needs Chlorine. When a cat walks, all rats get alerted. This is good for resident. In Escalante, law enforcement service was of wild animal type, most in Escalante knew it but remained chicken (slept on it) until it blew up. I am not looking for $60 / 2-4 hour meeting job but would be true service to you (public) – Records, public knowledge, transparency, accountability, efficiency, exposure of bad apples in the system, etc. Lack of knowledge is expensive / wasteful (Public elected Richard Nixon, a crook, for his second term with landslide, George W. Bush, a bully, dragged us in Iraq war, etc.). I am not asking for your vote for my personal gain but for your good what you deserve. Panguitch City population – 1500 in 1992 and 1500 in 2015. Where did your kids / grand kids go ?

This public service / volunteerism of high value is paid by HARSHAD P. DESAI.

CFPB Marks Four Years of Helping Consumers

by Troy Wilde, Utah News Connection SALT LAKE CITY - The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which celebrates its fourth anniversary this month, has recovered billions of dollars on behalf of people in Utah and around the country.

Ed Mierzwinski, senior fellow with the U.S. Public Interest Research Group (PIRG), advocated for the creation of the CFPB after the Great Recession.

Unlike the Federal Trade Commission and other government entities, he says, the bureau can investigate businesses before a complaint is filed.

"So, it can say to a payday lender, 'Show me that you're complying with the law,' Mierzwinski explains. "It can say that to a credit bureau or a debt collector. It's got teeth, it's got power, it's got tools to protect consumers."

He says the CFPB regulates and investigates banks, credit unions, payday lenders and pawn shops, as well as credit bureaus and debt collectors. He adds that the bureau has recovered $5 billion and received about 400,000 consumer complaints.

Complaints can be made

GARFIELD MEMORIAL HOSPITAL Has position openings in the following areas: Registered Nurse - Full time with benefits. Requisition # 169645.

Cook - 30 hours per week with benefits. Food handlers permit required. Requisition # 169929.

Housekeeper - Full time with benefits. Requisition #169597.

Apply at www.intermountainhealthcare.jobs

online at consumerfinance.gov.

Consumer complaints are vital for enforcement, says Mierzwinski, because they can demonstrate a pattern or trend of businesses that may be violating the law.

Mierzwinski notes that today's number one complaint topic is debt collectors, replacing mortgage problems as the chief complaint category. He adds the CFPB now houses the biggest government database of consumer complaints.

What To Do If Someone Files A False Tax Return in Your Name

3rd Annual

Classic Car Show

by Jason Alderman

Identity theft is one of the fastest-growing fraud issues at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Online thieves have been capturing Social Security numbers and other tax filing data to file fraudulent returns, principally for the purpose of stealing refunds.

Just this past tax season, TurboTax, the leading tax preparation software company, had to stop transmitting state tax returns and introduce new safeguards after a run of suspicious returns. In March, the U.S. Treasury Department reported slightly over 2.9 million incidents of taxrelated identity theft in 2013, up from 1.8 million in 2012.

As to dollar loss, in January, the General Accounting Office (GAO) said the IRS had prevented an estimated $24.2 billion in fraudulent identity theft tax refunds in 2013, but actually paid $5.8 billion in refunds later determined to be fraudulent.

In terms of damage, tax identity theft is really no different than any other form of identity theft. Thieves illegally obtain your Social Security number through online or other resources and then go to work on your finances and reputation. The first you'll see of it will be on your credit report in the form of unfamiliar (and likely unpaid) accounts or unusual credit inquiries from employers or agencies you've never contacted. The problem may take months or years to straighten out.

Hearing about a false tax return might take time. Many taxpayers find out they've been hacked via a physical letter from the U.S. Postal Service – the IRS never sends (http:// www.irs.gov/uac/ReportPhishing) taxpayer-specific

correspondence via email –indicating that a duplicate return has been filed in the taxpayer's name. That means a significant amount of time might have passed between the hack and the taxpayer learning about the problem. Electronic filers might find out sooner because their return might bounce if a fraudulent one was successfully filed earlier.

Recent reports quote the IRS as saying it tries to settle such cases within 4-6 months, but news reports have indicated wait times might be longer. This is why anyone dealing with identity theft needs to move fast and be actively involved in containing the damage. Regulators can't do it for you and advertised services that say they can handle everything probably won't.

You'll need to investigate and clean up your own records.

If you've been hit, first go to the identity theft action pages on both the Federal Trade Commission (http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0008tax-related-identity-theft) and the IRS (http://www.irs.gov/ Individuals/Identity-Protection) websites for immediate ways to deal with the problem. Start with the following immediate steps: • Order your current credit reports and set a fraud alert on each at the three major consumer credit rating agencies – Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. Follow up to make sure those alerts are active.

• Set up a physical or computer-based file where you can organize, date and file all contacts, communications and paperwork associated with your case and keep track of any fraudulent transactions that occur.

• Create an identity theft report (http://www.consumer. ftc.gov/articles/0277-create-identity-theft-report) with the FTC and your local police department. This will help you document your contacts with regulators and law enforcement if there is an arrest.

• Make a call list for all creditors, banks, investment companies, utilities and your employer to let them know about the breach. If you work with qualified financial and tax experts, inform them too. If you've spotted fraudulent accounts, contact those entities to put a freeze on them and thereby limit potential losses.

If you've never experienced this type of identity theft, don't take your luck for granted. Even if you file your taxes by regular mail, make sure you set up your own personal IRS e-services (http://www.irs.gov/uac/Step1-Create-an-IRS-e-servicesAccount) account, because reports have surfaced that identity thieves are opening false accounts with stolen taxpayer data. Finally, schedule receipt throughout the year of your three credit reports, which you can receive free once a year.

Bottom line: Anywhere your Social Security number goes, identity thieves follow – this tax filing season proved that. Safeguard your data and check your credit reports several times a year for irregularities.
