Fire Destroys Torrey Home TORREY – A house fire that occurred mid-day on Tuesday, June 30, at 285 N. 100 E. in Torrey completely engulfed a single wide trailer owned by Debbie and Rick Holt, resulting in a total loss of their home and possessions. Debbie Holt says she learned of the fire when she and her husband were out running errands along with their dog “Pony,” who fortunately was along with them. No people or animals were injured as a result of the fire. “We really don’t know what happened,” says Holt. “We were out and about and I was at the Wayne Health Clinic getting a prescription filled. I was standing there when my husband came in and said he got a call from his mother that our house was on fire. He was white as a sheet, and he was really in shock. So of course we dropped everything and came back. It was 12:30 maybe. When we came back there was already a sheriff’s car, an ambulance and two fire trucks at our house. They had already started on working on the fire, but the whole struc-

ture was pretty much already destroyed.” The Holt’s house trailer was located on a property that is owned by the Holt’s extended family. Debbie says that her husband Rick’s family goes back to the original founders of Torrey, and that his father, DeVon Holt was born and raised there. “It is the same property that my father-in-law’s grandfather had clear ‘back in the day’ so it’s got the old house on it from the turn of the century and between us and a cousin we have five acres from the original plot,” says Holt. Rick and Debbie moved their mobile home onto the property in 2001, using it as a vacation home and for family getaways while they lived in Midvale. It was just last August that they fulfilled their dream of living in Torrey, and moved their full time. “Well…at least we were without a mortgage for one year,” says Holt. Holt says that she and her Torrey Fire

Running in Beauty BRYCE VALLEY - Fireworks lit up the early morning sky near Ruby’s Inn and wowed over one thousand runners at the start of the 12th running of the Bryce Canyon Half Marathon. Winding its way for 13.1 miles by the stunning hoodoo views of Bryce and the verdant farmlands of the Bryce Valley, a thirty minute rain shower failed to dampen spirts as both 5 K runners and half marathon runners crossed the finish line in Cannonville on Saturday July 11th.

CEDAR CITY - The Utah Farm Bureau Federation (UFBF) will be holding its annual Midyear Conference July 16-17 at Southern Utah University in Cedar City. The conference theme is Farm Bureau Proud. Conference topics will focus on pertinent production agriculture and rural issues. “Midyear Conference provides a venue for Farm Bureau members to come together and discuss issues directly impacting production agriculture,” said Sterling Brown, UFBF Vice President of Public Policy. “Farm Bureau’s grassroots policy development process is what makes this organization strong and proud.” Members will have an opportunity to participate in a Legislative panel discussion with Sen. Ralph Okerlund, Sen. Evan Vickers, and Rep. John Westwood.

Helicopter Crashes West of Escalante

MAIN CANYON - A Robinson R22 helicopter crashed 9 miles up Main Canyon west of Escalante at approximately 1 p.m. on Sunday, July 12. The pilot, Duane Fielding and his 14 year old son, both of St. George, were sightseeing when they began experiencing some trouble. Mr. Fielding attempted to turn the helicopter around and it was hit by a gust of wind causing the tail to hit the ground and crash. The pilot was transported to Garfield Memorial Hospital and was later sent by life flight to Dixie Regional Hospital in St. George. The passenger was also treated for some injuries. —Garfield County Sheriff's Office

Enjoying Articles I look forward to reading The Insider while I am residing in southern Utah during the summer. I especially like to read the interesting and informative articles written by Jeffery J. McKenna. He offers information that is not readily available to the general public. I often pass on his columns to friends and relatives who are not always aware of the legal problems that can arise in today's changing world. Every week his articles offer something new and valuable. Thank you for your work. Heather Scheidegger

Beaver Valley and GMH to Discontinue Hospice Services

In early June Intermounain Health Care announced their provision of home health and hospice services to Garfield County. In the article, implication is made that these services have not been previously available to our communities. To clarify, hospice care has been provided for 10 years or more to Garfield and Piute Counties through Beaver Valley and Garfield Memorial Hospice. Home health care has been in place for many years through another entity. I would like to take the opportunity to thank those involved in the Beaver/Garfield service for their hard work, dedication, and compassion in providing comfort to those at the end of life. It is difficult and stressful work. Our staff members have been: Sheri Woolsey, RN, Jennifer Christensen, RN, Ramona Sorenson, RN, Melinda Peterson, RN, Chyleen Macky, RN, Susan Harris, RN, Marni Blevins, RN, Melanie Draper, RN, Jane Wiley, RN, Mary Ady, RN, Lisa Nez, CNA, Bree Shakespear, CNA, Tracy Ferguson, CNA, and Tad Draper, Social Worker. As Intermountain has established services the partnership of Beaver Valley and Garfield Memorial Hospise will be ending. We wish Intermountain well in their new endeavor to serve the needs of the terminally ill. Respectfully, Becky S. Roberts, APRN

SALT LAKE U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) State Executive Director, Mark Gibbons, reminds agricultural producers that FSA provides a receipt to customers who request or receive assistance or information on FSA programs. “If you visit our office, you’ll receive documentation of services requested and provided,” said Gibbons. “It’s part of our mission to provide enhanced customer service for producers. From December through June, FSA issued more than 327,000 electronic receipts.” The 2014 Farm Bill requires a receipt to be issued for any agricultural program assistance requested from FSA, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and Rural Development (RD). Receipts include the date, summary of the visit and any agricultural information, program and/or loan assistance provided to an individual or entity. In some cases, a form or document – such as a completed and signed program enrollment form –serve as the customer receipt instead of a

printed or electronic receipt. A service is any information, program or loan assistance provided whether through a visit, email, fax or letter. Today's announcement was made possible through the 2014 Farm Bill. The Farm Bill builds on historic economic gains in rural America over the past six years, while achieving meaningful reform and billions of dollars in savings for the taxpayer. Since enactment, USDA has made significant progress to implement each provision of this critical legislation, including providing disaster relief to farmers and ranchers; strengthening risk management tools; expanding access to rural credit; funding critical research; establishing innovative public-private conservation partnerships; developing new markets for ruralmade products; and investing in infrastructure, housing and community facilities to help improve quality of life in rural America.

tested method for empowering local farmers and ranchers in their communities to solve problems facing their families and businesses,” said Leland Hogan, President of the Utah Farm Bureau Federation. “This Midyear Conference allows us to discuss ideas that have been gathered throughout the countryside, and focus on solutions to be debated and voted on at our annual meeting in November. We invite all farmers and ranchers to attend.” Farm Bureau is an independent, non-governmental, voluntary organization of farm and ranch families united for the purposes of addressing their problems and formulating action to achieve educational improvement, economic opportunity and social advancement throughout Utah. Farm Bureau is local, county, state, national and international in its scope and influence, and is non-partisan in character. Farm Bureau is the voice of agriculture at all levels. For an agenda or for more information on the conference, please contact Matt Hargreaves, Utah Farm Bureau Vice President of Communications, at 801-233-3003 (office), 801-455-4320 (cell) or matt.hargreaves@fbfs. com.

discussion will take place concerning laws governing public access to private roads in Utah. Rep. Kay McIff and Garfield County Sheriff Danny Perkins will lead this discussion with questions and answers to follow. Discussion points will include; what constitutes public access, what is a private barricade, and what rights do private landowners have? Informational breakout sessions will also be included in the conference. These sessions give farmers and ranchers opportunities to learn about issues and topics they deal with every day. Topics include the authority of county government; holding effective County Farm Bureau meetings, a discussion on principle-based policy development, and developments surrounding new food safety guidelines, known as Good Agricultural Practices (GAP). Midyear Conference is fundamental to grassroots policy development for the Utah Farm Bureau. The conference provides members a place to voice their concerns and bring attention to issues impacting the sustainability of farmers and ranchers. Participating in policy development gives Farm Bureau members the opportunity to create Farm Bureau policy, which then guides the organization in its advocacy and outreach efforts for the coming year. “Farm Bureau’s grassroots policy process is a time-

husband are “holding up” in the wake of the fire, and have had an opportunity to move into Rick’s cousin’s house, which is located on the same property, for the time being. She added that emergency workers and neighbors have been incredibly kind and generous in looking after their needs both during and after the fire. “The volunteer firefighters--they were just great,” says Holt. “Even while they were working on the fire, they kept checking in on us, they made sure we were OK. There were some places in the ceiling that were really hot. They were watching for hot spots, and they were there most of the afternoon. We were told that a neighbor behind us saw the fire, came over and jumped the fence and turned off the propane, and our neighbor Barb called dispatch,” she said. “I think it is maybe a different experience than if you were in a city,” she added. “I talked to her today she was standing out looking at it, and it’s just so sad for them,” says friend and neighbor Janet Hansen. The Holts are planning to rebuild on the site, and right now are working to get bids for debris removal and reconstruction. “Yes, we’re definitely planning on staying and rebuilding, says Holt. “This is our ‘forever plan’, and that’s not going to change. If we’re lucky, we’re hoping to be in something by this winter.” Holt says that the things that are the hardest about losing are the things you can’t replace, such as wedding photos and quilts that her mother had made. “For now we have clothes, and food and shelter and we’ll figure out the rest as we go forward here,” says Holt. “You just have to take it a step at a time,” she says. —Insider

Summer Fishing Report DWR Southern Region BAKER RESERVOIR: (July 08) Catchable-sized rainbow trout were stocked in early spring. BARKER RESERVOIRS (NORTH CREEK LAKES): (July 08) Catchable-sized rainbow trout were stocked in Barker and Lower Barker. Fishing is fair to good in most lakes. If fishing is slow at one lake, pick up and move to another. Dougherty Basin Lake will open to fishing on Saturday, July 11. BEAVER MOUNTAIN LAKES: (July 08) Access is good and rainbow trout have been stocked in all the usual lakes. Indian Creek Reservoir will not be stocked this year because the water level is low and road conditions are unsafe. BEAVER RIVER, LOWER: (July 08) Fishing success usually improves during irrigation flows. Recent surveys found some nice-sized brown and rainbow trout. Catchablesized rainbow trout were recently stocked. BEAVER RIVER, UPPER: (July 08) Fishing is fair to good for small browns and rainbows. Small spinners and hopper-dropper combinations work great in the summer. BOULDER MOUNTAIN: (July 08) All areas of the mountain are accessible, including the Boulder Top. Fishing is good to excellent in numerous lakes across the mountain. Anglers have caught some very large tigers this year. When you're targeting these large fish, remember that they are predators and adjust your techniques accordingly. CLEAR CREEK: (July 08) Removal of nonnative trout in the Clear Creek drainage is now complete and stocking of Bonneville cutthroat trout is in full swing. Your best chance to find catchable-sized fish will be above the Narrows. Fingerling cutthroat stocked in fall 2014 in the rest of Clear Creek will be six to eight inches long by summer. CORN CREEK: (July 08) Catchable-sized rainbow trout have been stocked in Corn, Chalk and Oak creeks. Corn and Chalk also have good populations of wild trout. DUCK CREEK POND / ASPEN MIRROR LAKE: (July 08) Catchable-sized rainbow trout have been stocked. Brood brook trout were also stocked in April. Fishing has been good to excellent this year. Angling pressure is high on the weekends. EAST FORK SEVIER RIVER IN KINGSTON CANYON: (July 08) Irrigation flows from Otter Creek Reservoir are up to 160 cubic feet per second. Fishing is a little difficult at this level, but you can target some of the slow-moving runs with large streamers, deep-diving lures or nightcrawlers. Call the Circle Valley Anglers fly shop at 435-577-2168 for up-to-date conditions and fishing reports. EAST FORK SEVIER RIVER, BLACK CANYON: (July 08) Fishing should be good to excellent on dry flies and terrestrials. Call the Circle Valley Anglers fly shop at 435577-2168 for up-to-date conditions and fishing reports. EAST FORK SEVIER RIVER, UPPER: (July 08) Small rainbow, brown and brook trout are abundant in the Upper East Fork Sevier and most of its tributaries. ENTERPRISE RESERVOIR, UPPER: (July 08) The

trout limit at both Upper and Lower Enterprise Reservoir has been increased to eight fish for the remainder of 2015. Because of very poor snowpack, the lower reservoir will be drained for irrigation needs. All of the upper reservoir will be drained, except for the small, state-owned conservation pool. FISH LAKE: (July 08) It's been raining a lot lately, but fishing has been good to excellent during the calm periods in between storms. Early morning and late evening have produced the best fishing. Trolling, jigging and bait fishing are producing well for rainbow trout, with a few splake in the mix. Jigging near the bottom outside the weeds is providing fast fishing for perch. Tip your jigs with nightcrawler or perch meat for best success. Remember, there is no limit on perch in Fish Lake and you are encouraged to harvest as many as you can. Lake trout fishing is slow. Call the Fish Lake Lodge at 435-638-1000 or Bowery Haven Resort at 435-638-1040 to check current conditions before you head out. FORSYTH RESERVOIR: (July 08) The reservoir is still full. Trolling and fly fishing from float tubes is producing good fishing. Small woolly buggers and size 14 Zug Bugs are working best. Call the Quiet Fly Fisher fly shop at 435-6162319 for up-to-date conditions and fishing reports. FREMONT RIVER: (July 08) Irrigation releases have raised the flow in the upper Fremont, but the river is still clear. Fishing has been fast with bushy dry flies. Fishing is also good to excellent in the lower Fremont near Torrey with various dries: caddis, PMD, yellow sally and trico. Dry fly fishing has also been excellent in other nearby streams like UM and Sevenmile. Call the Quiet Fly Fisher fly shop at 435-6162319 for up-to-date conditions and fishing reports. GUNLOCK RESERVOIR: (July 08) Water temperatures are in the low 80s. Because of an increasing population of illegally introduced smallmouth bass — which pose a serious threat to native fish in the Virgin and Santa Clara rivers — Gunlock Reservoir will be treated with rotenone this fall. For the remainder of the year, the limits have been increased. The limit is now 12 for largemouth bass (with no size restriction) and 16 for channel catfish. There is no limit on crappie, bluegill or black bullhead. There is also no limit on smallmouth bass. You must keep all of the fish you catch. Largemouth bass, bluegill and crappie will be restocked in 2016. GUNNISON BEND RESERVOIR: (July 08) Fishing is picking up because of the warming water in Gunnison Bend, DMAD and the river and canals. IRON COUNTY COMMUNITY FISHERIES: (July 08) Catchable-sized rainbow trout have been stocked in Leigh Hill Reservoir (Lake at the Hills), Woods Ranch, Parowan Pond, Forebay Pond and Brian Head Pond. Catfish have been stocked in Leigh Hill and Parowan Pond. Fishing is fair to good at all locations. JOHNSON RESERVOIR: (July 08) Anglers have caught a few nice-sized tiger muskies. The water conditions

are still very favorable for fishing. One group recently had best luck with spinner baits in fire tiger color. Remember that fair fishing for tiger muskies often means only two or three hookups. Call the Quiet Fly Fisher fly shop at 435-6162319 for up-to-date conditions and fishing reports. KOLOB RESERVOIR: (July 08) Kolob Reservoir is open to bait fishing until September 12. Angling pressure is high on the weekends. Fishing has slowed down, but is still fair with bait. A few more fish in the slot have been caught recently. Major road construction will be taking place on the Kolob Terrace road from now through October and will limit access to the reservoir. Visit the National Park website for closure schedules. Access has been good on weekends. KOOSHAREM RESERVOIR: (July 08) A recent population survey found cutthroat trout up to six pounds and rainbow trout up to three pounds. Try trolling near the dam with chub-imitating lures. Ten-inch rainbow trout have been stocked. LOWER BOWNS RESERVOIR: (July 08) Fishing is fast with size 12 woolly buggers. Also try using flashy spinners and lures, or natural baits like nightcrawlers. Call the Quiet Fly Fisher fly shop at 435-616-2319 for up-to-date conditions and fishing reports. MAMMOTH CREEK: (July 08) Flows are generally low and clear in Mammoth Creek, Asay Creek and the upper Sevier River, except after rain storms. Recent surveys found good numbers of brown trout, rainbow trout and whitefish in the upper Sevier River (in Hatch) and Asay Creek (along Hwy 89). Call the Circle Valley Anglers fly shop at 435577-2168 for up-to-date conditions and fishing reports. MILL MEADOW RESERVOIR: (July 08) The water level has dropped a lot. Pressure has been low. You'll find good fishing sight casting to cruising browns near shore with an assortment of small nymphs. Call the Quiet Fly Fisher fly shop at 435-616-2319 for up-to-date conditions and fishing reports. MINERSVILLE RESERVOIR: (July 08) Trout fishing is fair to good. Bass and wiper fishing is also picking up. MONROE MOUNTAIN LAKES: (July 08) Catchablesized rainbow trout have been stocked in the Box Creek reservoirs and north end lakes. Manning Meadow Reservoir will open to fishing on Saturday, July 11. NAVAJO LAKE: (July 08) Splake fishing has slowed down with the warmer weather. Catchable-sized rainbows have been stocked and should provide fair to good fishing. NEWCASTLE RESERVOIR: (July 08) Wiper fishing is picking up. Last weekend, boat anglers found success using nightcrawlers near the dam. Bass fishing is fair to good. OTTER CREEK RESERVOIR & STATE PARK: (July 08) The reservoir is 57-percent full. There haven't been problems launching boats. Anglers report good to excellent fishing for rainbows, from a boat (trolling) and from shore (PowerBait).

& Summer Programs

School Trust Land Funding for Education Prior to 1896 when Utah became a state, the US Congress set conditions under which Utah could gain statehood. In order to gain statehood, Utah agreed to many provisions. One of which was to ensure Utah citizens would receive access to an education. To help ensure funding for education in Utah, Congress granted land to the state in a trust to support public schools. Oneninth of the land was granted in trust. At that time, four onemile square sections in each township became school trust lands. Today the school trust includes approximately 3.3 million acres. When the state trust lands were designated, Utah became the trustee and the

schools in the state became the beneficiaries. In 1983 the trust land funds were composed of $18 million dollars, which were derived from land use and revenues from land sales (such as the trust land sale that took place last month in Garfield County). Money from the interest on the endowment flows directly to each individual school and is spent under the School Community Council’s direction. In 1989 people began to question if the trust lands were being utilized to their maximum capacity. Studies and legislative reviews took place until 1999. HB 350 created the School Land Trust program, which had grown to $333 million and required the monies to be distributed to school on

a per pupil formula. Individuals are again questioning if the funding is being utilized to the maximum potential. In 2015 the estimated trust land funds have grown to $2 billion thus making roughly $45 million available to public school next year. The Utah Board of Education recently adopted a resolution asking for legislators to modernize the funds distribution formula, which would allow access to where the $2 billion dollars may be used. Schools in the Garfield County School District will receive approximately $139,000 next year. The District will continue to give input to the State School Board and legislators regarding this issue. —Superintendent Ben Dalton

Wayne District Track & Football Field Flood Control Project Invitation to Attend a Pre-Bid Information Meeting Wayne School District is seeking pre-bid information from licensed and approved contractors for extensive excavation, flood control, site leveling and flood water containment, at the Wayne High School track/football complex. This project will require extensive relocation of fill material in order to alleviate floodwater damage to the existing track and football complex. Due to the complexity of this project, Wayne School District is issuing this “request for Information.” This is a nonbinding process for the purpose of requesting information to obtain comments, suggestions, or further information from potential bidders, before

issuing an invitation to bid. This request will be to generate interest in an invitation to bid, to request information that is unfamiliar or complex, determine best practices, industry standards, soil removal and compaction specifications, try to identify complications, and gather other possible information related to this project. District Personnel have scheduled an on-site visit and review at the Wayne High School track/football complex on Friday, July 31, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. for interested contractors. This request for information will provide an opportunity to obtain specifics regarding the project and allow a closer inspection. Interested

contractors are strongly encouraged to attend this meeting. There are presently no Plans and/or specifications for this project, due to the numerous options possible to accomplish the desired outcomes. Therefore, we are urging interested contractors to attend this pre-bid meeting to help establish criteria and gather professional information regarding best possible solutions. Questions or further information may be obtained by contacting Supt. Burke Torgerson at the Wayne School District Office at 435-425-3813 0r cell # 435691-3000. —Superintendent Burke Torgerson

WCGYB Summer Season of Basketball Begins with Draper Tournament

Brynnli Nelson goes for a layup. DRAPER - Wayne County Girls Youth Basketball started out their summer season this year by heading to Draper where they played Timpview, Sunset, and Utah Flash. The Timpview game started out fast with the Wayne girls playing a full court trap defense which quickly gave them the quick turnovers they needed to take the lead. Aggressive defense was key to the 12 point

win over Timpview with the team having 13 steals. Brynnli Nelson led the Wayne girls with 14pts and 2 steals. Kassidy Ellett brought in 4 steals, Samantha Crane added 3 more while Jenna Brian had 2 to all add to the win (Wayne 42-Timpview 30). The second game they played that night was against Sunset, Courtney Jackson led Wayne with 22 points in a 3 point loss to the tough Sunset

The girls ended the night against Utah Flash where Hannah Morrill had 10 points, 7 offensive rebounds, 5 defensive rebounds, and 1 steal in the 1 point loss against Utah Flash (Utah Flash 31-Wayne 30). The girls worked hard and made an impression with the program director who approached the coaching staff after the game to comment on how several coaches, refs, bookkeepers had asked where these girls were from and noted their incredible work ethic, talent and sportsmanship. She ended by saying she had never met a group of such "classy players." Thank you to our tournament sponsors who allow the girls to be able to compete with these teams. Sponsors of this tournament:

WAYNE COUNTY - The June 30th Bookmobile summer reading program welcomed another local hero, a military HERO this time… Arden Sellers. A great little book was read by our favorite story-teller, Paula Pace. First off Sergeant Sellers told us why joined the army, what he had to do to become a soldier, what soldiers carry, and basically what jobs soldiers carry out. One of the most impressive things the children saw was the backpack that Sergeant Sellers wears when he jumps out of airplanes, sometimes in harm’s way. It weighed around 100 pounds! He took out each item, showed it and told why he would need that item. The MRE packets were a crowd pleaser as Sergeant Sellers squeezed out the mashed po-

tatoes! The bullet-proof vest he wears weighs 30 pounds and has a secret compartment for a first aid kit among other things. It was pretty amazing how they can carry so many items. He showed them his weaponry and brought a replica of a M240 B medium machine gun! Sergeant Sellers showed the children a launcher that was a replica Cal Gustav recoils rifle that fires foam rickets. The real ones can fire a wide range of ammunition from high explosive to armor piercing. They later shot plastic pellets out of the Cal Gustav. The children learned that soldiers not only have the job to protect us but that they perform many kind acts of serve for the people in the countries they are deployed to. Sergeant Sellers created a great obstacle course, they did some target

shooting and some ended up doing push-ups alongside their hero! It was such a wonderful event and we cannot thank Sergeant Sellers enough for coming and sharing his love of country with us. We have a great understanding that our freedom doesn’t come free… we have brave men and women fighting for us and we will forever be grateful for their sacrifices. This truly was a day to honor these heroes. Many thanks to our volunteers Paula Pace, Evan Sellers, Jordan Lamb, Jaden Blackburn, CJ Torgerson, Addison Grundy and Bethany Peyton for volunteering.

Wills, Trusts, and More Preventing Problems and Mistakes in Estate Planning by Jeffery J. McKenna When you make a will or trust, you are not obligated to leave property to anyone. In order to discourage disappointed heirs from disputing your estate plan, you can include a "no-contest" provision that automatically cancels an heir's inheritance if he or she challenges the distribution of your assets in any way. The original reasoning for the nocontest provision was to intimidate any heir who may consider contesting a will or trust, thereby securing his or her cooperation. “No-contest" clauses can be broad or narrow, and may even disinherit people who challenge transfers made outside your will (through a trust or beneficiary designation). Of course, you cannot make a bequest of property you don't own, but you can often provide in a will that a beneficiary will only receive your bequest if they abandon their rights in some other property. In a recent case, a court was asked to decide whether a refusal to abandon such rights would constitute a "will contest" that would void other gifts. When a testator died, he left a complex estate plan that included a will, a trust, and beneficiary designations for his retirement account. The testator’s wife legally owned part of his retirement account and other "community property." The testator’s will and trust required his wife to aban-

don her "community property" rights in order to receive benefits worth $2.65 million from her husband’s trust. The wife filed a special petition with the court, asking whether she would be viewed as "contesting" the estate plan if she sought to enforce her community property rights. The wife claimed that her husband had mistakenly transferred some community assets to his own trust, and she was merely trying to correct the mistake. On appeal, the Court ruled that the wife’s challenges would constitute a "contest." Therefore, she had to decide whether to assert her "community property" rights (and thus receive only her share of community property, and nothing from her husband’s trust) or simply accept the provisions of the trust and will (thus sacrificing her "community property" rights). This case illustrates an important issue. If you make a mistake in your estate plan, a "no-contest" clause in a will or trust may prevent your heirs from correcting the mistake. On the other hand, if you don't include a "no-contest" clause, an heir might contest your estate plan, thus delaying the distribution of your assets, and frustrating your goals. There are many such issues with Estate Planning that require careful planning and expertise to avoid. In most cases, a “no-con-

test” clause does make sense. However, as the example in this article illustrates, you want do to careful when doing your estate plan in order to avoid unnecessary problems for your heirs.

Golf Clubs

A golfer, known for his bad temper, walked into the Pro Shop one day and plunked down big bucks for a new set of clubs. The staff all watched to see what would happen after he used them for the first time ... more than half expecting he'd come in and demand his money back. But the next time he came in, he was all smiles. "They're the best clubs I've ever had," he said. "In fact, I've discovered I can throw them at least 40 yards farther than I could my last ones."

Adventurous

As my 50th birthday approached, I decided I'd do something adventurous, like sky diving. I was parking at the library and noticed a bumper sticker on the car next to mine. It read, "I'd rather be sky diving." I started to leave a note on the windshield, asking the owner to call me. However, I then noticed, hanging from the rearview mirror, a temporary permit for handicapped parking. Then I thought, "Maybe I'll try white-water rafting."

Dressed Alike

I come from a large family, five sisters and three brothers. My sisters and I were looking through the family photo album one day. Picture after picture, we were all dressed in matching clothes. I asked my mother why she dressed us all alike, right down to the baby. She explained, "When we had just four children, I dressed you alike so we wouldn't lose any of you. Then," she added, looking at the pictures in the album, "When the other four came along, I started dressing you alike so we won't pick up any that don't belong to us."

This is a game played by two teams, one out the other in. The one that's in, sends players out one at a time, to see if they can get in before they get out. If they get out before they get in, they come in, but it doesn't count. If they get in before they get out it does count. When the ones out get three outs from the ones in before they get in without being out, the team that's out comes in and the team in goes out to get those going in out before they get in without being out. When both teams have been in and out nine times the game is over. The team with the most in without being out before coming in wins unless the ones in are equal. In which case, the last ones in go out to get the ones in out before they get in without being out. The game will end when each team has the same number of ins out but one team has more in without being out before coming in.

When buying an old second-hand car always insist on getting one with a heated rear window. That way, in winter, you can warm your hands while you're pushing it.

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Well it was an exciting weekend. The Senior Cowboy Circuit was here and according to Art Cooper it looked like the bulls won the contest, he also said that there weren’t many at the arena to watch, but they really put on a good show. The race from Bryce Canyon to Cannonville was a real big success and there were a whole lot of runners at the starting line. Usually there are between 1200 and 1400 runners competing, but it seemed like a lot more this year. This race brings a lot of runners from all over and is a real financial boom for Garfield Co. Two buses in Panguitch picked up over 100 runners and I didn’t recognize too many of them so the motels did real well off this race. The 5 K race in Cannonville drew about 200 runners and walkers and baby buggy pushers. All of the runners get a gold medal for finishing, nice touch. What was also better this year, when I left Cannonville with runners on board, we came across the last of the runners that were coming in at around 9am, in the last few years it was closer to 10 am Many, many volunteers were there helping out and this event really needs them. The Search and Rescue teams from Hatch and Panguitch Lake were there holding up traffic in Tropic. Hopefully the results will be posted in this week's Insider. The big winners were the runners that got to run in some of the great scenery and the town of Cannonville is one of the most beautiful places in the world to live. That ought to be a great retirement area. The Frandsen and Hatch families had their annual reunion out at Widtose and many that were there came from a long way away. The food was great and so were the games and it was a fun time. Larry and Orva built a little bit

of Paradise out there and it is really a great place to relax. Tonight the Fiddlers will be here, oh how they entertain us with their music. This show is free and is it good fun. The Fiddlers have been coming here for about 18 years and I never get tired of their music, my favorite is the Wabash Cannonball and the gentleman that uses his throat to make the train whistle. Cheryl Church sometimes sings and she is worth going to hear. They will be here two nights Thurs. and Friday and the Panguitch Lions will have their famous breakfast on Saturday morning. This will be the Lions' last breakfast of the summer, so come on over and get your cholesterol to last you all summer. Next week it’s the big one, the 24th its never too early to get out your floats, horses, cars and fire engines and join in one of the biggest parades in So. Utah. The Scouts from the 1st Ward will start off the day with a breakfast at Zions Bank. And it will be followed by the parade and there will be many events during the day and Pat’s Class of 55 along with many more classes will have floats to celebrate their reunion. The big news is the State is paving the road out to at least Highway 12. No more truck ruts or pot holes and boy are they fast, all the way to 12 and back in just one week. I am not sure if they are done or not, but it is a great improvement over what was there. Also they are laying down asphalt instead of chip sealing the road that seems to only last about two weeks. I’m seeing something that I have never seen in Utah since we have lived here, gas prices are going down during

the tourist season. Crude oil has been stuck at about $60.00 a barrel for a couple of months now, but we are buying a million barrels of oil a day more than we are using. This week however the price of crude has dropped to $52.00 a barrel and will probably continue downward, which is not good news for those working with the fracking crews in North Dakota. Gas in Cedar is down to $2.90 and Richfield is down to $2.75. This year is Social Security's 80th year of improving lives and the 50th year for Medicare. Where would we be without them, in the poor house? From this month's AARP paper: there was much fighting over SS from the left and the right. Liberals objected to withholding taxes from current wages to fund pension payments during the depression the plan reduced employees take home pay by pouring millions of dollars into a fund that you couldn’t touch till you retired. The Conservatives were even more vocal. Industry leaders objected to a major expansion of the federal government and forecast financial collapse and the inevitable abandonment of private

capitalism. The Republicans in the House foresaw the enslavement of the workers. The lash of the dictator will be felt. Sound familiar about the Affordable Care Act. Over the years there have been proposals to privatize the program and they have fallen by the way side. As FDR predicted that no politician is in a position to take it away. During President Nixon's presidency, Social Security benefits increased by 50 percent, reforms by subsequent presidents, such as Lyndon Johnson’s 1965 Medicare bill, was to save older American from financial ruin from hospital bills. You can retire at age 62 at a reduced rate, the age for maximum benefits is 66. If you were born after 1960 its 67, Medicare starts at 65. What if you’re divorced? You can claim spousal benefits if you were married for 10 years, and haven’t remarried. If your spouse dies? If you are collecting their benefits, you can do much better filing for survivor’s benefits. For more information on Soc. Sec. you can call (800) 772-1213 FREE. Isn’t summer grand? Mack O.

GRACE CHRISTIAN CHURCH MAIN STREET TORREY

For Your Health Safe Self-Treatment of Headaches Almost everyone has had a headache. Headache is the most common type of pain that people suffer. Headache causes many lost days from work and school, and is one of the prime reasons that patients visit physicians.

Which Types of Headache Can I Treat Myself? There are several types of headache that are not due to any serious underlying cause, and you may treat them yourself. They include migraine (diagnosed by a doctor), tension headache, and cluster headache. If you have not yet obtained a formal diagnosis, your pharmacist can assist you in deciding whether your headache might belong to one of these categories. Furthermore, consult your pharmacist for assistance in choosing a specific OTC product for your headache. Treatment choices include acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol), ibuprofen (e.g., Advil, Motrin IB), and naproxen (e.g., Aleve). Be sure to carefully read all directions and precautions on the label of these products, including age restrictions. What Is Considered a Dangerous Cause of Headache? While you can safely self-treat some headaches, there are times you should see a physician instead. If a blow to the head preceded the headache, it is mandatory to see a doctor to make sure you do not have a concussion. If you think your headache might stem from a sinus infection, an antibiotic prescribed by a physician is the best course of action. If a temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ or “clicking jaw”) might be causing the headache, you may need surgical intervention to correct the situation. If you have a persistent, nagging headache at the time of year when you just turned on the heating in your house or apartment, you should consider carbon monoxide as a cause. Faulty heating systems allow this deadly odorless gas to enter your living spaces, causing headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, fatigue, weakness, confusion, fainting, disorientation, visual problems, and seizures. You must leave the dwelling immediately and call 911 for transport to an emergency room if you suspect carbon monoxide exposure. Alarming Signs There are other times when you should be sufficiently alarmed about headache to seek immediate medical care. Is it the first headache you have ever had? This could mean you have a neurologic problem. If the headache was brought about by exertion or exercise, it may be due to an aneurysm (ruptured blood vessel). If you became less aware of your surroundings or your mental function has changed, a stroke may have occurred. If the headache is the worst one you have ever had or is unusually severe, you must seek care for diagnosis of the cause. If your headache occurred like a “bolt from the blue,” this might indicate that you have suffered a hemorrhage inside the skull, which demands immediate attention. If your headache occurred along with stiff neck, sensitivity to light, nausea, vomiting, and/or loss of consciousness, you may have meningitis, and this must be medically treated. Headache with pain around the eye(s) may be due to glaucoma. If left untreated, glaucoma may cause irreversible loss of vision, so you must seek immediate care.

Remember, if you have questions, Consult Your Pharmacist

This is a PROMISE from your Heavenly Father. Period. In a time when false doctrines and teachings are deceiving the world, it’s more important than ever that we remain true to the Word of God.

Record Number of Farmers and Ranchers Certified Under 2014 Farm Bill Conservation Compliance Overwhelming Number of Farmers and Ranchers Certify to Follow Conservation Compliance Guidelines, Building on Long-Standing Participation through Other USDA Programs WASHINGTON, July 10, 2015 – The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced that over 98.2 percent of producers have met the 2014 Farm Bill requirement to certify conservation compliance to qualify for crop insurance premium support payments. Implementing the 2014 Farm Bill provisions for conservation compliance is expected to extend conservation provisions for an additional 1.5 million acres of highly erodible lands and 1.1 million acres of wetlands, which will reduce soil erosion, enhance water quality, and create wildlife habitat. “This overwhelming response is a product of USDA’s extensive outreach and the commitment of America’s farmers to be stewards of the land,” said Agriculture Secre-

tary Tom Vilsack. “By investing in both American farmers and the health of our productive lands, we are ensuring future generations have access to fertile soil, healthy food supplies, and a strong rural economy.” USDA has gone to extraordinary lengths to ensure that every impacted producer knew of the June 1, 2015 deadline to certify their conservation compliance. For example, all 2015 crop insurance contracts included conservation compliance notifications. USDA has sent out more than 50,000 reminder letters and postcards to individual producers, made over 25,000 phone calls, conducted informational meetings and training sessions for nearly 6,000 stakeholders across the country, including in major specialty crop producing

Do You Qualify for a Free Mammogram? ST. GEORGE - If you are a woman age 40 or older, you should have a mammogram on an annual basis. Early detection of breast cancer with screening mammography means that treatment can be started earlier in the course of the disease, possibly before it has spread. The Dixie Regional Medical Center Foundation has some funding available for mammograms to be given at no charge to women who are age 40 or older, uninsured or unable to bear the cost of a mammogram, not currently enrolled in a federal- or state-funded program (Medicaid or Medicare), and who are legal residents of Washington or Iron county. If you believe you meet this criteria, please call (435) 688-6499 to schedule a mammogram if you live near Dixie Regional and (435) 8685300 if you live near Valley View. Funding for these mammograms was provided by Susan G. Komen, with matching funds to cover the cost for radiologist readings by the foundations for Dixie Regional and Valley View medical centers. —Dixie Regional Medical Center

states with affected commodity groups, and more. Since December 2014, USDA collaborated with crop insurers to ensure they had updated lists for agents to continue contacting producers to also remind them of the filing deadline. Of the small number of producers who have not certified their conservation compliance, USDA records suggest the majority are no longer farming or may have filed forms with discrepancies that can still be reconciled. The Farm Service Agency is proactively reaching back out to all of these producers before their sales closing date and working with individuals facing extenuating circumstances who have not filed the form in order to assist them with certifying compliance. “I’ve asked the agencies to contact the producers again before their sales closing date,” said Vilsack. “I want to

ensure that every producer that turned in an AD-1026 by June 1, 2015, knows they can still make corrections and remain eligible for premium support.” USDA is providing additional flexibility to help the newly insured producers to certify their conservation compliance. For example, producers, who began farming or ranching after June 1, or producers who have not participated in USDA programs prior to June 1, can file an exemption to the conservation compliance certification for reinsurance year 2016 and still be eligible for the crop insurance premium support. The Highly Erodible Land Conservation and Wetland Conservation Certification form (AD-1026) is available at local USDA Service Centers or online at www.fsa. usda.gov/AD1026form. —USDA Farm Service Agency

end points and state park, as trout vacate the shallow shorelines during the summer due to warm water and chubs. PANGUITCH LAKE: (July 08) Fishing is fair from the shore and boats. A recent population survey found that 11- to 12-inch rainbows are abundant and growing fast. We also saw more rainbows in the 17- to 18-inch range than we have in recent years. As always, nice cutthroat and tiger trout are also plentiful. PARAGONAH RESERVOIR: (July 08) Bait fishing is slow. Remember that the rainbow trout here are wild and don't take bait as well as lures and flies. PINE LAKE: (July 08) Rainbow trout have been

stocked. PIUTE RESERVOIR: (July 08) The reservoir is down to 28-percent full. Anglers report catching a few 12- to 13inch rainbows. Because of the poor snowpack, much of the water in Piute Reservoir will be drained for irrigation this summer. The trout limit has been increased to eight fish for the remainder of 2015. QUAIL LAKE: (July 08) The water temperature is in the low 80s and bass fishing is fair to good. Try fishing early or late to avoid the heat and boat traffic. Visit the Quail Creek State Park website for the current boat ramp schedule. SAND HOLLOW RESERVOIR: (July 08) The water temperature is in the low 80s and bass fishing is good to excellent. Top water is producing well in the early morning. Drop shots and swim baits are a good bet when the fish head deeper as the water heats up. Try fishing early or late to avoid the heat and boat traffic. SEVIER RIVER IN MARYSVALE CANYON: (July 08) Flows are over 400 cubic feet per second, which is making fishing difficult. THOUSAND LAKE MOUNTAIN: (July 08) The fish have moved to deeper water at most lakes, so a float tube is very helpful. There are still plenty of damsel flies out. Try both damsel dries and nymphs. Call the Quiet Fly Fisher fly shop at 435-616-2319 for upto-date conditions and fishing reports. TROPIC RESERVOIR: (July 08) Catchable-sized rainbow trout have been stocked. WASHINGTON COUNTY COMMUNITY FISHERIES: (July 08) Largemouth bass and bluegill are present is most ponds and provide fair to good fishing during the summer. WIDE HOLLOW RESERVOIR: (July 08) Catchablesized rainbow trout have been stocked. The state park reports good fishing for bass by casting plastics in the brushy areas. YANKEE MEADOW RESERVOIR: (July 08) Catchable-sized rainbow trout have been stocked and fishing is fair to good. —Utah Division of Wildlife Resources

Dave Treanor Farrier

435-616-3045 davetreanor14@yahoo.com HARSHAD P. DESAI as your Panguitch City Council Member. Why ? (1) Garfield County Government values properties and collect taxes for different entities (county, City, cemetery, school district, etc.). Panguitch City Council has burden, jurisdiction, and authority to summon county assessor to explain numerous problems in valuing the properties (because Panguitch City tax is involved). Example – Purple Sage Motel was listed to sell for $569,000 (around 2007 ?). But it is valued <$250,000 (in 2015). This means Panguitch City is losing thousands of $ in it’s tax revenues. Folks this is part of “Pay to Play” scam. Fact: Garfield County has no one with license to appraise commercial properties. This is like janitors in judge chairs. (2) State Law – Community is allowed to contract law enforcement services with county sheriff department. However, it must not be done for financial purposes. One of mandatory service for any city government is law enforcement. Panguitch City has zero cost for law enforcement (even make money). This bounty should be enjoyed by residents. But this is going in inefficient city entourage employment, raises, bonuses, other perks. (3) Panguitch City Court punish people with fines and community work [example – a guy convicted of wrong doing, fined (based on who is who) 3 days in jail, $500 in fine, and 500 hours (500 Hours X $ 8 per hour = $4,000 ) community work ]. This is legal. The city has to spend $4,000 for something which is done for free. This bounty should be enjoyed by all of us (residents / tax payers). It’s going in general fund which is spent for inefficient employment, raises, bonuses, and other perks. How the city judge punish (statistical data based on segment of the community – low economic class, insider vs. outsider, etc. ) is other opacity. (4) State law – Panguitch City is not required to have city court. Panguitch City government is not going to have city court if it is costing. If it is money maker, where does the bounty go ? General fund (for inefficient employment, raises, bonuses, and other perks). (5) Enoch (> 5,000 population) didn’t have city manager (was booted out). Parowan (>3,000 population) had no city manager. He was rotting in prison. Do your homework – find out how Tropic, Escalante doing (in employment and salaries). (6) Economic Development of Panguitch City – What a blunder ! Some filling their resume, some filling their pockets, Where is anything to look at ? Panguitch – 1500 in 1990 and 1500 in 2015. (7) Panguitch City Government system is a host loaded with leaches and parasites which needs to be removed for health of the host. HARSHAD donated 4,000 square feet commercial land (>$100,000 in value) to city. Is there any Panguitchian out there who donated an inch in generations ? Worse – The city was in violation of agreement to maintain it. (8) Panguitch City receives mega funds from State of UTAH (UDOT) as “B” funds to maintain city roads. But city does only 1/4th roads of the city. Where does this unspent fund goes ? Other hole is – Panguitch City claims Main Street and Center Street as city roads to get funds but are maintained by state as US Highway 89. How does this bounty funneled to residents / tax payers ? It stays in general fund which feeds entourage (raises, bonus, 401K, pension, other perks). (9) Clean Air and Water Act is federal and state law. Water consumer must be informed about water test results on regular basis. Folks! You or your grand kids may be drinking water with high toxicity. When you or your grand kids develop cancer, current city cronies will be gone and records nowhere to be found. Think of opacity today and possible problem in 2040. Folks! We have cesspool in need of sanitization (needs drop of chlorine in council body). We have culture of “You scratch my back and we scratch your’s when you get an itch. Hell with dumb public. They (the public) need smile” How long should we continue to swim in cesspool ? Vote for HARSHAD not for HARSHAD but for you. This public service / volunteerism of high value is paid by HARSHAD P.

Report Looks at Dollars-and-Cents of Closing Utah's "Coverage Gap" SALT LAKE CITY - Providing health insurance for the tens of thousands of Utahans in the so-called "coverage gap" can also provide a huge economic benefit to the state, according to a new report. Danny Harris, associate state director of advocacy with AARP Utah, commissioned the report in partnership with Voices for Utah Children and the Utah Health Policy Project. He says the research compares the Healthy Utah and Utah Cares plans, both of which were considered during this year's legislative session. "Healthy Utah shows there is a $911 million benefit to our state by bringing those dollars back and providing comprehensive coverage to people," says Harris. "Utah Cares, on the other hand, brings back $344 million." Utah has not expanded Medicaid, an option under the Affordable Care Act that the federal government would fully fund for the first three years. The coverage gap consists of more than 50,000 people in Utah who don't earn enough to receive federal subsidies for insurance and don't qualify for traditional Medicaid. Following years of Governor Gary Herbert and others in the Legislature considering ways to fill the coverage gap without expanding Medicaid, Harris says there seems to be a political consensus that something needs to be done. "We're getting to a point now where we have the House and Senate working together," he says.

Practical Money Matters

Building a Back-to-School Budget by Nathaniel Sillin

Back-to-school spending isn't just about clothes and markers anymore. In 2014, Forbes reported that Accenture estimated (http://newsroom.accenture. com/images/20020/Graphic. pdf) that nearly half of respondents reported they would spend $500 or more on backto-school expenses, including not only clothes and desk supplies, but electronics as well. Yet there's one more aspect of back-to-school spending that's growing and can add hundreds – and sometimes thousands – to a family's overall K-12 education budget. Since the 2008 economic crisis, many public school systems have tried to make up for funding shortfalls by adding first-time or expanded fees for sports, extracurricular activities and specialized academics. This means that backto-school budgeting, even for families with kids in public school, now requires a more holistic, year-round approach to all back-to-school expenses. Given their potential dollar amounts, parents should examine school fees first. Public education has never been completely free of charge beyond local taxes – parents have traditionally paid extra money to support their kids' participation in sports, music or other extracurricular activities. However, many school systems are adding fees for a broader range of offerings including after-school activities, top-level courses, lab-based instruction and even Advanced Placement (AP) classes. So before you start spending money on clothes and supplies that can be bought off-season, on sale or possibly used, get a handle on how applicable instruction and activity fees might affect your budget. (http://www. practicalmoneyskills.com/ budgeting/). Parents in financial need may qualify for pub-

lic aid or grants to cover such fees; if not, choices will need to be made. Consider turning backto-school shopping into a money lesson. Most kids like to have certain kinds of clothes, shoes or supplies. Those "wants" can be turned into a discussion about spending priorities, value, choice and comparison shopping. Using the Back to School Budget (http://practicalmoneyskills.com/calculators/calculate/backToSchoolBudget. php?calcCategory=family) calculator with your kids can help them learn how create a budget before shopping for essentials. As kids get older, the discussion can expand to cover bigger-ticket purchases like smartphones, computers and fees for special courses and activities they want to pursue. Some of these issues might evolve into a discussion about earning money through chores or a part-time job. Once priorities are decided, every expense should be tracked, including a child's round trip school transportation, meals, tutoring fees or immunization and healthcare expenses not covered by insurance. And once that budget is set, it means a constant search for smart ways to cut. Some ideas may include: • Car pooling (track your costs to make sure you're not adding significantly to your overall transportation budget) • Packing lunches at home • Working with school administrators to raise outside donations or grant funding to cover parents' out-ofpocket costs • Organizing school supplies in one place to avoid purchasing duplicates • Renting equipment, supplies or instruments used until a child's interests are established

• Scouting garage sales, thrift shops and online marketplaces for used, requirededition textbooks, instruments, electronics, sports equipment, clothes and other supplies you'd otherwise buy new; online resources shouldn't charge shipping or return fees • Reviewing school and classroom supply lists before buying essentials • Bulk- and group-buying supplies and services with other parents to get volume prices • Consolidating back-toschool shopping during tax-free days (if your state offers them) • Swapping used supplies and equipment with other parents • Checking retail memberships for any back-toschool savings they offer • Watching for print and online coupons or special discount offers through your school • Listening to your kids – they might spot moneysaving ideas faster than you can One final secret budget item – rewards. Saving money on back-to-school expenses can help parents meet a number of financial goals, but kids' academic or activity success deserves recognition. Consider setting aside a little of those savings for a reward they can enjoy. Bottom line: When setting your back-to-school budget this year, think beyond the supplies. Consider every possible fee and expense associated with your child's school year and plan accordingly. Nathaniel Sillin directs Visa's financial education programs.

SUMMIT COUNTY - Ospreys are large fishing-eating birds Ospreys are unique birds. They build huge nests that look like chimneys. Watching them plummet out of the sky—to snatch fish that are swimming under the surface of the water— can take your breath away. You can see these large birds, and learn more about them, during a free field trip on July 23. The Division of Wildlife Resources will host the trip in Summit County. With their five-foot wing span, the ospreys will be easy to see. And if you attend the field trip, you might even see some turkey vultures and great blue herons, says Bob Walters, Watchable Wildlife coordinator for the DWR. To participate in the field trip, meet at 6 p.m. at the pull out by the dam at Rockport Reservoir. To reach Rockport, travel

on Interstate 80 to Wanship. Then, exit the freeway and travel south on state Route 32 to the dam. From the dam, you’ll follow Walters in your vehicle to viewing sites in and near Rockport and Echo reservoirs. If you have questions about the field trip, call Walters at 801-209-5326. Walters will have some binoculars and spotting scopes available, but if you have your own, he encourages you to bring them. During the trip, you’ll see adult osprey and their young. Walters says each pair of adults had one to three young, called eyases, this spring. While there’s a chance you’ll see the ospreys fly, it’s more likely you’ll watch them on their nests, feeding and exercising their wings. Sometimes three feet or taller in height, the nests themselves are some-

thing to see. Walters says after awhile, the nests start to look like chimneys. “Sometimes, I think they’d rather build nests than fish,” he says. “The nests are incredible.” During the trip, Walters will also point out waters you can visit on a different day to witness the spectacular feetfirst ‘plunge dive’ of the osprey. Ospreys make these out-of-theair dives to snatch fish that are swimming under the surface of the water. Walters says ospreys have special features that allow them to capture fish. Their outer toe is reversible. And the lower part of their talons are covered with sharp hooks that allow them to grasp slippery fish in the water. Walters calls the ospreys’ plunge dive “one of the true spectacles of nature.” —Mark Hadley, Utah Division of Wildlife Rexources
