BRYCE CANYON Spectacular fireworks, a setting full moon, and the shot of the starting gun greeted 1,140 early morning runners as the eleventh annual Bryce Canyon Half Marathon got underway last Saturday July 12th. Commencing in Bryce Canyon City, runners enjoyed sunrise views of Bryce Canyon National Park as they made their way down the course along twisting Scenic Byway 12 and past Bryce Valley farms then over hill and dell to the finish at the Cannonville Town Park. Eight water stations staffed with local volunteers offered water and Gatorade to runners along the 13.1 mile course. This year’s top finishers earning cash prizes were Maura Lemon, the women’s overall winner, with a time of 1:21:12 and John Coyles and Bret Hales of Utah splitting the prize money for men’s overall
winning time of 1:07:30. HalfMarathoners shot off the start line at 6 am sharp in cool temperatures. This year’s runners vied not only for cash prizes but also for a non-lottery entry into the St. George Marathon. The coveted race entry was won by Chase Hardman of Murray, Utah. The 5K starting in Cannonville had 210 runners bolting out 1.5 miles towards Kodachrome State Park and back to Cannonville where the
Lion’s Club served breakfast at the park. 5K top finishers were Kamryn Watt of Hurricane with a time of 21:23 and Davis Johnson of North Salt Lake in 18:39. The Color-Me-Fun-Run delighted participants who were showered with color through the streets of Cannonville Friday night to benefit the Bryce Valley Music Camp. Two days of events wrapped up with the Western Jubilee Saturday evening featuring western folk music and cowboy (and cow-
girl) poetry at the Cannonville Park Saturday night. Western Music headliner Brenn Hill of Hooper, Utah and local artists Ken Hall and Mark Nelson of Cannonville entertained the audience as sunset brought a light rain shower and a double rainbow to the skies over Cannonville.

Boulder Heritage Festival: A Weekend of Inspiration and Renewal
BOULDER - Matt and Vikki Thorne were among the long, stellar lineup of musicians to play at the Boulder Heritage Festival last Friday and Saturday. Great musical performances and inspiring presentations fulfilling the festival theme, "Stitches, Slings and Medicine Bags" left festival-goers feeling renewed and contributed to a blurring of the lines between Wayne and Garfield counties. Adus Dorsey's Torrey Newz column (which is mostly about Boulder this week and somewhat less about Torrey, and that is OK), provides a personal account of the event. —Insider
ESCALANTE - For the past 47 years, Griffin Grocery has been a part of the Escalante Community and has been owned and operated by the Gene and Thais Roe Griffin family. The history is as follows. Gene served in the Korean Conflict and after returning home he decided to attend barber and beauty school in Salt Lake City. He and Thais had married and had three little
boys, Mark, Gary, and Brent. Gene’s barber and beauty shop was located on Main Street next to the CR Griffin grocery store, which was run by Claron and Ruby Griffin. At that time, barbering wages were pretty slim and Gene had thought about turning his barber shop back into a store which had been previously owned by Billy Davis. After hearing that Gene was interested in getting into the store business, Claron

What’s in a Name?
On a regular basis I am questioned about my choice for the title of my column Torrey Newz? Some people find it troubling when in fact there are times there isn’t or very little about Torrey in it. My response is, I live in Torrey and what I write is Newz to me no matter where it comes from. Much to the delight of some I couldn’t bring to myself to just write about Torrey anyway and then there are some folks that prefer it that way or that I even write anything at all. In fact they would just as soon have me move to some wonderful place like Henriville as spend my time searching through their Torrey laundry looking for something to write about on a weekly basis. I say these things because I get called a lot of different names and sometimes I deserve it but there are a lot times I don’t. My big thing is to not write anything I will get thrown in jail for. I for one know that in many cases the truth hurts, especially when it shows up in print. In public positions and in reality anything we say and do is held wide open for scrutiny, which begs the question why would anyone choose to do anything that they would find offensive when it shows up on the front page of life? If you are afraid of what I might write, don’t read it. It is like going to the post office, if you don’t have the time to deal with what’s in your box, don’t open it. Asis Adus, Torrey

years until the store was paid for. Gene and Thais enjoyed their personal and business associations with Claren and Ruby very much. It was May of 1967 when they took over. It was the race meet weekend and they thought it would be a good time to open as there were many people in town for the event. The first few years proved to be difficult as too much credit was extended and it became difficult to maintain cash flow. But gradually as bills were collected, they begin to get ahead. The Griffin family continued to grow when 2 daughters, Melanie and Stephanie, joined the family. The store provided an excellent way to help the family learn work ethics. Many memorable and often comical family experiences have happened at the store. The store operations have changed dramatically since the early days. Gene drove to Salt Lake every 3 weeks to pick up the groceries from Associated Foods where he then hand-loaded the truck. Going up it took about 5 hours, but coming home, fully loaded could take 6 to 7 hours. The next day, the truck was unloaded by hand and the process of putting away the groceries began.

Ancient Indian Irrigation Ditches Unearthed Near Lower Bowns BOULDER MTN. - The Fremont Indian people were first identified by archaeologist Noel Morss in 1928. In “The Ancient Culture of the Fremont River in Utah” (1931, 7), Morss stated that “several intelligent persons bore witness to the existence of an ancient irrigation ditch which could be traced several miles and which had served to bring water from the head of Pleasant Creek onto the flats.” Steven Simms, Professor of Anthropology-Archaeology at Utah State University was intrigued with the idea of finding this irrigation ditch and determining how and when it was used. In 2010, Dr. Simms was able to locate these ancient Indian irrigation ditches in the area now known as Jorgenson Flat near Lower Bowns Reservoir in Garfield County. He first brought a university team to excavate the area in 2012. Since then, he and his team have located five ditches that likely span several centuries. Thought to be Fremont, these irrigation ditches are dating to the 9th through 14th centuries using optical dating methods. Although research is an important aspect of this projthe paperwork and bookkeeping. Thais did all the ordering by marking the order book. This job took the better share of 2 weeks and required many hours. She also worked hard to keep the store clean and could always be seen with a broom because she enjoyed sweeping. Both Gene and Thais clerked and greatly enjoyed visiting with the customers. As the years went by, their children and grandchildren all became part of the store operations.The merchandise included groceries, paint, fabric, clothing and a hardware section. In 1990 their son Brent, his wife Kathie, and their new baby, Kaden moved home to Escalante to help manage the business as Gene & Thais were getting ready to retire. They spent the next 21 years going to Mesa, AZ during the winters and loved the weather and various activities they were involved in. A special highlight was when Gene won the gold medal in Billiards at the Senior Olympics held in Phoenix, AZ around 1997. After Brent moved home many changes occurred. A new produce section was added to the store and tourism was increasing. For a while Brent kept to the same three week freight schedule. Then it became necessary to go every two weeks for freight. At the present time, the store

Between June 30 and July 5, his eightperson team including both undergraduate and graduate students used remote sensing equipment, group penetrating radar, a magnetometer, and other technologies at the site. In addition to modern technology, the team is also using primitive tools made of Mountain Mahogany to approximate the tools likely used by ancient peoples to construct the irrigation ditches. Known as
experimental archaeology, this approach attempts to address questions about how the ditches may have been constructed and used. Dr. Simms speculates that these Fremont farms may have been much larger and sophisticated than previously thought. Dr. Simms and his team are planning to return to the area for further research this August. Their project is being sponsored by the Committee for Research and Exploration of the National Geographic Society. —Annette Lamb, The Entrada Institute
receives 2 shipments of freight per week. One of the greatest moments was the first time the Associated Semi Truck pulled into Escalante for the first time, marking the end of years of grueling freight trips to Salt Lake. Because the old store did not have a loading dock, the semi would meet Brent in the church parking lot where the groceries where transferred by pallet jack to the smaller freight truck and then hand unloaded at the back door of the store. In 2001, Gene bought the Munson Grocery Store from Bob & Mavis Munson. It was located just across the street, had been remodeled and had more space. For a while both stores remained in operation but in time it became too difficult and both stores consolidated into one. The old Griffin store is now used for storage and is the “Man Cave” for Gene and his pool-playing buddies. In 2003, Brent & Kathie purchased the family business and have enjoyed the people very much through the years. By now three more children, Kevin, Kai, and Bobbie, had joined the family and are a big part of the day to day operations. The Griffin family feels extremely blessed to have had many wonderful people work for them through the years and appreciate all of their efforts to keep the business operating.
Recently a make-over has occurred at the store. A new European produce table has been installed along with an updated look in the produce cooler which allows more produce to be stocked. Decorworxs, a subdivision of Rainbow Sign and Banner from Cedar City, has recently repainted the store and installed several new signs including the outside of the building which has been a great face lift. The store is approximately 100 years old and is several buildings combined into one. The Griffin family would like to invite the public to celebrate this anniversary with them and would like to thank everyone for all of their support through the years. The schedule of events is as follows: Thursday, July 17. The sale ad begins and winners of the photo contest will be announced at 6:00. Friday, July 18. The sale ad continues and a 25 cent hot dog and cotton candy sale will be held from 11:00 to 4:00. Proceeds will be donated to the EHS athletic program. Saturday, July 19. The sale ad, and hot dog and cotton candy sale continues. At 5:00 prize winners will be announced. There will be prize drawings, a treasure hunt for the kids, food, fun and a great time for all! —Kathie Griffin

Certified Nurse Midwives – How Do They Differ From a “Midwife?”
Foster Grandparent Volunteers Being Sought to Assist in Classrooms
by DeAnn Brown Nursing Administrator & Certified Nurse Midwife, Garfield Memorial Hospital Some people hear the word “midwife” and automatically assume that means a non-medical home birth. But it may interest you to know that the word “midwife” actually means “with woman,” and, most importantly, there is a distinct difference between what is typically called a “midwife” and a “certified nurse midwife.” Working as a certified nurse midwife for over 15 years now, I have found that many people seem to believe the myth that because the word “midwife” is in the title of “certified nurse midwife” that no formal education was obtained. The powerful fact is that all certified nurse midwives (CNMs) have a bachelor’s of science degree in nursing, are registered nurses, and most times have their master’s degree, even their doctorate degree in nursing. Also all CNMs must pass a stringent national certification exam through the American Midwifery Certification Board (you can see more at midwifery.org) and must maintain that education through continuing education. Also, it’s a myth that a Certified Nurse Midwife,or CNM, only deal in childbirth; the actual truth is we also provide comprehensive gynecology care. Some of the services

By Cynthia Kimball Davis I ran into a young adult. One who’s 18. And since honesty is a topic that we all should be concerned about, I posed some questions to him about it. After all, according to LDS.org (2014), “Dishonesty harms you and harms others as well. If you lie, steal, shoplift, or cheat, you damage your spirit and your relationships with others.” Yet, unfortunately, people are dishonest from the moment they awake to the moment they end their day in sleep. However, one LDS church leader, David B. Haight (1987), said, “Honesty is not only the best policy, it is the only policy!” He also uttered an anonymous quote, “We have committed the Golden Rule to memory. May we now commit it to life.” Haight continued, “The Savior’s teaching, ‘Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them” (Matthew 7:12) should be the basis for all human relationships.” Thus, “Be honest with yourself, others, and God at all times. Being honest means choosing not to lie, steal, cheat, or deceive in any way. When you are honest, you build strength of character that will allow you to be of great service to God and others. You will be blessed with peace of mind and self-respect.” Additionally, “Being honest will enhance your future opportunities and your ability to be guided by the Holy Ghost. Be honest at school; choose not to cheat in any way. Be honest in your job, giving a full amount of work for your pay. Do not rationalize that being dishonest is acceptable, even though others may think it does not matter,” (LDS.org, 2014). What a perfect time to segue into my interview with this young adult to hear his thoughts and views on honesty. CYNTHIA KIMBALL DAVIS (CKD): So how would you describe honesty? YOUNG ADULT (YA):
Interview with a Young Adult: Be Honest
Always telling the truth. CKD: Why is this important to you? YA: Just because I like people to be straight forward with me. If you lie, I’m not going to believe you. Trust is hard to gain back once it’s lost. CKD: So has anyone ever been dishonest to you? YA: Yeah, a lot of people. That’s why it might be hard for me to trust people that aren’t honest. CKD: Could you ever give anyone a second chance? YA: Everyone deserves a second chance, but you have to show that you deserve it. CKD: How do you show honesty? YA: I was just always pretty straight forward to people. I don’t lie. What do you have to lie about? Just always try to show it in your actions CKD: Who was or is the most honest person you know? YA: Probably one of my friends just because he knows what it is like to be lied to. He is very straight forward. CKD: Anyone else? YA: I guess Heavenly Father and Jesus just because they have never lied. They’re perfect.
CKD: Why would you say a boss needs to be honest and how could he show it? YA: You need to be honest because you are working with someone who is trying to make a living. They can show it by giving them honest wages and giving them their worth for what they produce. CKD: Why is honesty important in any relationship? YA: Because without honesty there is no trust and when there is no trust there is nothing. CKD: So if someone came to you, who had been very dishonest with everyone, but he wanted to change, what advice would you give him? YA: I would say own up to your mistakes and apologize and then show that you are willing to change. CKD: Any last words on honesty? YA: Be honest in your words, actions and deeds.

A fourth-grader came into the school office and told the secretary that she had missed her bus, Bus 6. After checking schedules with the teacher on bus duty, the secretary confirmed that the girl did indeed miss her bus. "But don't worry," she told the child. "We'll call your mother." "No, you won't," the girl calmly replied. "She's driving Bus 6."
Rescue Effort
The counselor was helping the kids put their stuff away on the first day of summer camp. He was surprised to see that one of the youngsters had an umbrella. The counselor asked him, "Why did you bring an umbrella to camp?" The kid answered, "Didn't you ever have a mother?"
The crew of a fast frigate was practicing the man overboard drill by "rescuing" a bright orange fluorescent dummy they named "Oscar." The captain watched as a young lieutenant nervously stopped the ship, turned it and maneuvered into place. Unfortunately, he ran right over Oscar. Surveying the remains of Oscar scattered around the ship, the captain told the lieutenant, "Son, do me a favor. If I ever fall overboard, just drop anchor and I'll swim to you."

family member. With a revocable trust, you can simply modify one document and it will take care of all of the accounts that are owned by the trust or has the trust named as a designated beneficiary. Sometimes it is difficult or impossible to make changes to beneficiary designation documents when a spouse becomes incapacitated, but a revocable trust can be drafted so that the healthy spouse has authority to amend documents without the signature of the incapacitated spouse. It is important to remember, however, that a revocable trust must be completely funded with the assets that would otherwise require probate in order to be effective. What are “assets that would otherwise require probate?” These include anything titled in your sole name, without any other owners or any payable on death designation. It also includes assets you own with another as a tenant in common that have not been funded into the trust. It doesn't include life insurance and retirement accounts, including IRAs, 401(k)s and annuities, as long as at least one designated beneficiary of the insurance policy or retirement

Defense Contractor
My job is in the Aerospace Industry, and it's always been a challenge to explain what kind of work I do. At one gathering, I tried several unsuccessful attempted explanations before deciding to be as generic as possible. When the subject came up while I was talking with a group of guys, I replied simply, "Defense Contractor." The men nodded, and as the conversation went on, I silently declared victory to myself. Then, one of them turned to me and asked, "So, what do you put up mainly? Chainlink?"

Wills, Trusts, and More All sorts of helpful folks, including customer service people, account managers, and other employees of financial institutions give customers advice about how to title accounts and name beneficiaries. However, seemingly harmless advice can cause many problems with estate plans in an effort to avoid probate. Most new account forms at financial institutions ask you to name a beneficiary. Often when filling out beneficiary designations people do not understand how a share of the assets will be treated if that designated person predeceases them. Will the share of the deceased beneficiary go to their own descendants or to other named beneficiaries? Is that what you intended? Other problems occur when there are future children born who were not contemplated at the time the account was created. Filling out beneficiary designations properly is critical. Avoiding probate can be accomplished through accurate beneficiary designations, or use of a revocable trust. Often a revocable trust can simplify the need to change designations in the event of changes in your life such as a divorce, marriage, or birth or death of a

Yesterday Cowboy I heard a lecture the other night by an old timey cowboy here. His thesis was about how they done it, back in the yesteryear. He spoke about their equipment, saddles and spurs and stuff, 'Cause they had to pack all what they needed. Them old boys must have been tough. They had 'em a way to carry some eggs, as through the sage they rambled. I've rode a horse, so I'm gonna bet them eggs come out mostly scrambled. If you forgot some item, you'd just have to do without. As you can guess, back in the day, there wasn't no Walmart about. A couple of things kind of perked up my ears, In that tale about cattle farmin', That old boy failed to mention if he took a few rolls of Charmin. He never did state if they took clean socks, or replacement underwear. If you didn't do that when you're camping for weeks, I don't think I'd want to be there.

School Notes Summer Interventions With summer in full swing, parents may be looking for resources to help their students retain academic skills during the long summer days. Many valuable resources exist online at the parents finger tips such as Math Fact Café http://www.mathfactcafe.com/ which contains basic math worksheets for 1st through 4th grade curriculum. Math Fact Café, has the ability to generate worksheets for add, subtract, multiplication, time and money concepts. In Garfield School District, we use “Go Math” by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt to teach the kindergarten thought 6th grade math curriculum. Parents and students can access the “Go Math” resources without setting up an account by selecting https://www.k6.thinkcentral.com/content/hsp/math/hspmath/fl/common/intervention_9780547274409_/launch.html In the “Go Math” program, students have access to, “Learn the Math”, “Do the Math”, “Independent Practice”, and the “Quiz”. Each math lesson is organized by grade level and chapter topics. If your student enjoys having books read to them, I would suggest the following web page for elementary age children. http://www.readtomelv.com/current-books/ I hope you will take time each day during the summer to incorporate some type of academic instruction to improve your student’s academic interests. —Superintendent Ben Dalton
High Elevation Waters Offer Great Summer Fishing You can beat the heat, have fun and enjoy breathtaking scenery by grabbing your fishing pole and heading to Utah’s mountains. Paul Birdsey, cold water sport fisheries coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources, says high-elevation waters in Utah provide some of the state’s best summer fishing. Those waters include lakes in the Uinta Mountains in northern Utah and the Boulder Mountains down south. Birdsey says trout feed actively when the water temperature is between 55 and 65 degrees. “Fifty five to 65 degrees is the ideal water temperature for trout,” he says. “And, fortunately, that’s the temperature high-elevation lakes in Utah stay at throughout the summer. That’s the main reason they’re such great places to fish.” While high-elevation waters throughout Utah provide quality fishing in the summer, the Uinta Mountains and the Boulder Mountains should top your list of places to visit. Uinta Mountains, Boulder Mountains A wide variety of opportunities are waiting for you in the Uinta Mountains in northern and northeastern Utah. The opportunities range from lakes next to state Route 150 (the Mirror Lake Highway) that are stocked with fish weekly to backcountry lakes that you have to hike or ride a horse to reach. “The lakes next to Route 150 are great places to take your family fishing,” Birdsey says. If you’re willing to “travel off the beaten path,” a unique experience is waiting for you. In 2012, the DWR started stocking golden trout in the Uintas. “These fish, native to California, are some of the most colorful of all trout,” Birdsey says. “Starting in 2012, they were reintroduced to several lakes in the Uintas.” While you won’t catch a fish that’s trophy-sized, you will have a chance to catch one of the most unique fish in the state. You can see where golden trout have been stocked by visiting the DWR’s online stocking report at https:// dwrapps.utah.gov/fishstocking/Fish. Look at the 2012, 2013 and 2014 stocking reports to see which lakes received the fish. The lakes on the Boulder Mountains in southern Utah are usually harder to reach than those on the Uintas. But the lakes on the Boulders also produce bigger fish. “Some of the lakes on the Boulder Mountains provide really, really nice fish,” Birdsey says. Catching fish Birdsey provides the following tips to help you catch fish and have a great experience: Fish early in the morning or later in the day Birdsey says trout rely mostly on their eyes to find
Utah Division of Wildlife Resources
Brook trout are among the fish you can catch in the Boulder and Uinta Mountains. their prey. That fact directly affects when you should fish for them. “Trout feed most actively when they can see their prey clearly,” Birdsey says, “but too much sunlight exposes them to predators.” For that reason, Birdsey says early morning and before the sun goes down at night are the perfect times to fish. “There’s enough light for the trout to see their prey but not enough light to make the trout highly visible to predators,” he says. Flies, lures and baits Birdsey says fly fishing with a pattern that imitates a leech is one of the best ways to catch trout on the Uintas and the Boulders. Leech patterns in brown, black or olive drab usually work best. Paying attention to the type of insects that are hatching, and then “matching the hatch” by using a fly that imitates the insects, is another effective fly fishing technique. If you’d rather fish with spinning gear, spinners are great lures to try. Birdsey recommends a Mepps, Panther Martin or Blue Fox spinner in sizes #0 or #1. Use spinners that are gold, black or silver in color. Birdsey says brook, cutthroat and tiger trout are the trout you’ll usually find on the Uintas and the Boulders. “All of these species are more aggressive than the rainbow trout most anglers are used to catching,” he says. “A lure that flashes quickly through the water—like a spinner—is something brooks, cutthroats and tigers will go after.” If you enjoy fishing with bait, Birdsey says nightcrawlers are usually the best bait to use. You can cast the nightcrawler, and then let it sink to the bottom of the water you’re fishing. Or, you can cast it and a bobber, and let the nightcrawler dangle two or three feet under the bobber. “Whichever way you fish it,” he says, “don’t let the nightcrawler just sit there. Cast it out, and then slowly reel it in.” No matter which tactic you use, if you haven’t gotten a bite within 20 minutes, change what you’re doing. Try a different fly, lure or bait, switch how quick or slow you’re reeling your bait or lure in, or move to a different location. Be prepared
Birdsey says you should bring the following with you: - An emergency kit that includes water, extra food and a survival blanket. - Bug spray. - Sunscreen and a good hat. - Also, remember that bears live in these areas. Free bear safety information is available at www.wildlife.utah.gov/ dwr/learn-more/bear-safety. html and www.wildawareutah. org/utah-wildlife-information/ bears. “In July and August,” he says, “it almost always rains in the Uintas for an hour or two. The rain usually starts between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. The rainstorms don’t usually last long, but the rain can come down quick.” Pack it in, pack it out Some of the high-elevation waters, especially those close to Route 150, attract a lot of anglers. Unfortunately, they also attract a lot of trash. Birdsey encourages you to leave the area better than you found it. “In addition to picking up your own trash, including fishing line and fishing tackle,” he says, “bring along an extra garbage bag, and pick up the trash others have left behind.” More information Maps of both the Uintas and the Boulders are another good information source. You can buy them at the DNR Map & Bookstore and U.S. Forest Service offices. The best topographical maps to buy are 7.5 minute quad maps. You can also learn more about fishing the Uintas and the Boulders, and stay current on fishing conditions and success, by reading the DWR’s weekly fishing reports. The reports are available at www. wildlife.utah.gov/hotspots. Online fishing forums, such as bigfishtackle.com and utahwildlife.net, are also good places to get information. Sporting goods stores are also good places to contact. If you have questions about fishing lakes in the Uintas, call the DWR office in Ogden at 801-476-2740 or the DWR office in Vernal at 435781-9453. If you have questions about fishing lakes on the Boulders, call the DWR office in Cedar City at 435-865-6100. — Utah Division of Wildlife Resources
This Week's Theme: Adaptation! July 1st was the last story hour program. Holly Mills and Sophie Westacott came from Capitol Reef National Park to do a program on adaptation. The children were asked to think of an animal in their mind while they were asked questions about habitat and if their animal would survive changes in their environment. The ones that could not survive then came up front showing they had become extinct. A few of those animals were covered up with sand and preserved as fossils! The children had fun learning about how a big horn sheep and a mountain lion had adapted to live in their environment. Paula Pace read the story “I Love My White Shoes” by Eric Litwin, while the children with the white, red, blue, and brown shoes danced. The children went home with glow bracelets, cookies and otter pops! We wish to thank Holly and Sophie for a great program, Charlotte Williams for being the best volunteer and of course our favorite story teller, Paula Pace! The summer reading program isn’t over just because the programming part ended… keep your kids reading! Prizes will be handed out a few more weeks and don’t forget the FOUR top readers will have their very own READ poster made of them with their favorite book! The Bookmobile is a cooperative agreement between the County and Department of Heritage and Arts / State Library Division. —Faun Jackson

Gaylen Jones Matheson CEDAR CITY - At 84 years old, Gaylen J Matheson passed away July 8, 2014, three days after walking the fence and filling the cow trough one last time at his old dairy farm on Midvalley Road. He had always wanted to go while working hard and with his boots on. Gaylen was born September 5, 1929 to Owen Evans and Verda Jones Matheson. As the oldest of 4 boys and two girls, he grew up in Midvalley and Enoch where he ran a team of horses and other farm implements to help farm a square mile of land his Grandfather had purchased in 1910 under the Homestead Act. The occupation he loved most was dairy farming. He enjoyed working with his father and uncles, LaMar and Ivan, at the Matheson Dairy, and he later established his own dairy to produce fresh milk and cream. Gaylen served two years in the Central States Mission from 1949-1951 where he had great spiritual experiences in the back country areas of Tennessee. He was proud to be one of the last missionaries to serve without purse or script. He married his sweetheart Alice Gay Johnson of Tropic, Utah on June 25, 1952 in the Salt Lake Temple, then departed by ship 5 days later to serve in U.S. Army during the Korean War. He served in Germany as a medic, an ambulance and jeep driver and a reel to reel motion picture technician for American troops. Gaylen and Alice Gay raised 7 daughters and 2 sons and taught each of them to work hard and serve well. When cash was hard to come by, dairy milk was exchanged with neighbors for dancing lessons, piano lessons, medical and dental work and many other services. Gaylen served over 20 years with the Iron County School District as a custodian for the South Elementary School. After retirement in 1992, he loved running into former students of the schools who shared their memories with him. He later served 4 missions with his wife Alice Gay, to Chile, Guatemala, Ecuador and Washington DC. In his last years he served 10 hour days 3 days a week in the St. George Temple where he did the work for thousands of people. Preceded in death by his parents Evan and Verda and his brother Cleon, Gaylen is survived by his brothers Floyd and Vernile, his sisters Karen and Avey, his wife Alice Gay, and his children Marie Holyoak (Joe), Evan Matheson (Peggy), Carol Sevy (Kent), Elaine Esplin (Lawrence), Janet Torgersen (Stan), Sharon Giles (Neil), Gaylen John Matheson (Amy), Mary Sue Dalton (Dan), and Alice Gaye Christiansen (Rich). He leaves a great legacy of 9 children, 52 grandchildren and 79 great grandchildren with 5 more on the way including one set of triplets. Funeral services will be held at the Midvalley /Three Peaks LDS Chapel, 40 East Midvalley Road in Enoch, on Tuesday July 15 at 11:00 am. A viewing will precede the services from 9:30 to 10:30 am. A viewing at Southern Utah Mortuary in Cedar City will also be held on Monday July 14 from 6 to 8 pm. Interment will be in the Cedar City Cemetery under the direction of Southern Utah Mortuary.

TORREY NEWZ It was the Boulder Heritage Festival weekend, a super summertime event that show cased some of Wayne County’s finest talents and presenters like the Adaptor’s, Mark and Mark Baysinger, and half of Garfield County’s and nationwide talent, 17 hours of music and medical history all made possible by sponsors and volunteers. The 2014 Boulder Heritage Festival theme this year was “Stitches, Slings and Medicine Bags” and featured the challenges of and quality of care in remote places like Boulder and remote counties like Wayne. I can’t recall all the songs that I have heard that refer to Boulder, Utah as that special place to go to when a person needs a much needed opportunity to just step back and get a new perspective on life. The Boulder Heritage Festival is what I like to envision as a mind and neck relaxing Caroline Gaudy session in her massage chair, or a something like what Aunt Ann Reynolds shared about what a trip to see Doc Wilson the Obstetrician / Chiropractor would be like, surely an adjustment in attitude and body depending on your need. Stress seems to have a mind of its own, and in the same breath stress has a way of making its presence known that always gets your attention. Take your pick and name your own symptom, they are vast and they are many. While in Boulder at a conference room discussion one of the presenters was a Navajo medicine woman, Lillian Tsoie – Jensen although she prefers to be referred to by her Navajo calling. Much of what she said and how she presented it made me self-conscious and like a horse after a long, hot and hard ride over the hogs back it made me physically shiver. At a critical juncture during Lillian’s presentation she challenged the audience to try and find our center point on our own medicine wheel, the place where we feel at balance in our individual circle of life. Personally I felt somewhat ashamed and I found I couldn't do it, all because my circle and unity seems to be flat on

all sides at this time in my life. The important part of the session was that I felt she seemed to be talking just to me, and I am sure I wasn't the only one in the room that felt that way but it did make me nervous and uncomfortable. In an interesting sort of way when she came around the room to offer a Navajo prayer of healing she stood before me with her smoking sage wafting it with an Eagle feather and speaking in Navajo, it was then that I felt a calm come over me. One of the more powerful moments for me in Lillian’s presentation was when she brought to light that in reality, we ourselves are our only real possession and we can only possess the present moment in which we are living. Although history provides us with much needed guidance, and faith provides us with hope for the future, it is the present in which we live, and we must live in the moment and use the understanding of our past and our faith in the future to fruitfully venture forward. After soulfully experiencing Lillian Tsoie – Jensen’s afternoon presentation I found myself extremely sorry I ultimately decided to spend my morning lounging around in room eleven at the Pole’s Place Motel on my computer and missing Tom Jerome and Lauren Hatchell’s Body, Mind and Spirit “White Man’s” version of living your life in balance. Facts of life and recollections that Lillian Tsoie – Jensen so often eloquently referred to throughout her presentation. Hopefully Tom will forgive me for my untimely choice of actions and absence and someday provide me with some muchneeded life balancing and living pointers. The Boulder Heritage Festival under the expert and stalwart direction of founders Cheryl Cox and a wanton anonymous Boulder cousin has fielded and incorporated participation between Wayne and Garfield County to the point that the Wayne and Garfield county line on the Highway 12 is so blurred that some folks can no longer make the distinction or care that much from whence they came.

Through the eyes of a child The world can be a better place. Samantha Rain Kirby Hitt. Escalante or anywhere else, everyone in Boulder are like a gluten free, straight from the hen house and a chemical free garden Cob Salad mixed together and served up in the finest restaurants and they are all welcomed and in many cases considered to be family. Something at the Boulder Heritage Festival that makes it so special that should never go without mention is the Friday afternoon Horseback Mail Delivery, a rough and rocky ride over the original mail trail from Escalante, a re-creation of the last place to receive mail via horse back. A Wild West spectacle of such emotional proportions that even today the hand addressed letters will be keepsakes for generations to come. A full two day and night schedule of the Boulder Heritage Festival did feature some of the finest southern Utah, Arizona and Texas musical acts, the likes of Michael Hummel of Phoenix, the Salt Gulch All Stars with the infamous guitar wizard Eric Scott, and his friends Robert Owens and Grant Johnson. Also performing on stage were Raymond Shurtz and his Jail House buddies all of which are “Out on Bail”, then Dante Hitt, Bob Phillips, The Family Band Otter Creek, from Austin Texas the sweet voice of Charlie Faye, and also from the hinter land and local favorites from Salt Gulch Matt and Vikki Thorne, and then to finish out Saturday evening the all to infrequent Patrick Briggs and his Fargo, North Dakota reggae / polka band.
In the conference room presenters provided historical milestones in the areas medical history, complete with home remedies of natural ingredients found as near as your back yard. What would any festival be like without food and treats? The Boulder Mesa crew were Barbecuing and serving up Dinosaur-sized turkey drum sticks with all the fixings, Buffalo spare ribs the size that the Flintstones baby Bam-Bam or only a family of four could finish, and full sized cooked to perfection chickens that even Farland had a hard time cleaning his plate and was calling for some help. Katie and Kelton Ballard had so many drinks and sugary treats on sale that there wasn’t a sour puss in the crowd all weekend. The Boulder Heritage foundation book sales and silent auction items did generate some much-needed cash for future events. On the home front the Capitol Reef Classic Bike Race (CRC), under the direction of Dr. Scott Andersen of Bicknell and company will be cycling throughout Wayne County over the weekend. Locals and spectators are encouraged to join in on the mid-July big event. In Torrey Town, daytime temperatures are expected to remain in the 90’s and the humidity low for the next week with some afternoon showers expected. In general the wellmanicured lawns around town and those individuals seeking the much sought after “Yard of the Week” designation might be lacking a little color and experiencing prevalent brown spots in areas that lawn sprinklers struggle to reach. Local area business should be brisk at establishments specializing in ice-cold beverages, bags of ice, ice cream, hamburgers and other specialty food items at places like Randy’s Chuckwagon general store and Deli, Slackers Burger Joint and Red Cliffs Restaurant, all located right on Main Street in the middle of downtown Torrey. In an attempt to encourage the local economy and keep costs affordable, tourists and locals are highly encouraged to buy local.

FYI Panguitch
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Don’t you love these monsoons, water for your lawn and it isn’t even your water day, how good is that? Also they cool down everything, today’s temperature was 92, till the rain came and cooled it down to the seventies, my kind of temperature. Last week we went down to St. George and with the monsoons it only got to 82 degrees, I don’t do well with the heat, you can only take off so many clothes and not be arrested. They had record numbers for the run from Bryce to Cannonville; almost 1700 runners for both races. This race is bringing runners to Panguitch. I drive one of the buses to Ruby’s for the start of the race at 4:45 in the a.m. I usually have less than 50 hardy souls. This time I had over 80 jammed on the bus. It was a good thing that Wally Dodds was there. He took about 10 of the runners in his van, other wise they would have had to ride on the roof. We made it though and the runners were eager to get with the race. I went back to the Subway and picked up the stragglers, (they shut down the road at 5:30 a.m.) and again it was standing room only, another 80 folks. Last year I only had 12 stragglers, but we made it to the starting line with two minutes to spare. I loaded up about 30 5K runners and we
headed off to Cannonville, for the 6:30 a.m. start of the race. While at the beginning of the half marathon I saw this guy warming up and I couldn’t believe his speed or his stride, it was about 10 ft. Boy was he fast and I thought tif he could keep that up for 13 miles he was going to blow away the competition. I was told in Cannonville that there were two of these runners and they were going to run together. At 7:08 here came those runners together, boy were they flying. I think they beat the next runner by 12 minutes. They ran the race at a 5 minute mile pace. I wish I had gotten their names. Hopefully the race officials will put them in the paper. On the home trip there were a lot of happy and proud people on the bus and they all were complementary on how well the race had been run. I have never had so many “thank yous” before. A lot of Panguitch women ran in this race and the ones that I saw did real well. I never saw WallyDodds but I bet he was there some how. This race gets bigger every year and with a help of a lot of volunteers it is run really well. Dave Etter, the Panguitch Lake Fire Chief called to say the barbecue up at the fire station, on July 5th, was really successful, over 600 showed up for hamburgers and hot dogs.

The drawing did really well and the folks went home with thousands in prizes. Dave also said that the grant that he wrote came in. It is really big and it is going to buy SCBA’s for all of the departments in the county. These are Self Contained Breathing Apparatus and boy are they expensive. When I started fire fighting 50 years ago, the only thing we had were canister masks. There wasn’t any air and after they had lost a number of personnel, they switched to SCBA and no one liked them because they weighed so much ( the bottle alone weighed 30 pounds) and they only held about 1800# of air for about 30 minutes of use. The new ones weigh less than 10 lbs and hold 4500# of air. These masks will come with built in PASS alarms, if you quit moving for 15 seconds this alarm goes off. Good going Chief, these will be really welcome. Tonight the Fiddlers Festival will be here, many are already in town and really look forward to coming to Panguitch to perform. They will be here tonight and Friday at the Social Hall and have 36 different numbers that they perform and boy are they good. My favorite is the Wabash cannonball, how does that guy do the train whistle with his throat? Their concerts are free and sometimes the locals join in. If you haven’t seen them get there and join in the fun. Friday night will be the “Taste of Panguitch”, with many of the local bistros having their tastiest dishes for your pleasure. So take the family out for dinner and the show. Saturday morning the Lions Club will be putting on the Fiddlers breakfast at Zions Bank. This is the last Lions breakfast for the summer, so come on and get your breakfast fix the summer. The ATV Rally sign ups are running about 20 ahead of last year and over 80 have already registered for this event.
Last year over 200 registered and it looks like this will be exceeded. The first year there was only 40 here, but they keep coming back year after year and it is really building. Tony Beckstead who has a hand in running the rally is ending his career at the Triple C Arena, August 1. Tony’s carpet business is taking off and all of the time that goes into running the arena was taking its toll on him. Thanks Tony for all of your efforts at the Arena. Carol Englestead called and said that there is a need for players for the Rhythm Band on the 24th. Contrary to popular belief you don’t have to be old to be in the band, just want to have fun. This band has been around forever, they tried to figure out what everyone could play and came up with the kitchen band. They played washboards, kazoos, pans and a thing that made noise and above all had fun. The 24th will be here before you know it. As a matter of fact it is next Thursday, only one week away. Get your float under way as quick as you can, so you aren’t up all night long putting ribbons on your trailer. Sunday morning we had an incident on Main St. A car ran into the front door of the Shed Sporting Store and took out the front glass door. Fortunately no one was hurt. In front of our house the other day the ambulance was there. The police had a lot of calls of an individual driving erratic, the EMTs were called and the person was sent to the hospital where he was life flighted,. Those that called in may have saved a life. Thanks ! Rick Irish attended his 50th high school reunion and like most of us that has done that, wondered how everyone got so old. The 24th is way so close. Get your seats for the best candy grabbing. Mack O.

For Your Health Prevent Ingrown Toenails With Proper Foot Care Most people do not realize that they may needlessly put themselves at risk for ingrown toenails. A few simple measure can be taken to prevent the occurrence of this condition. What Is Ingrown Toenail? An ingrown toenail occurs when the nail on a toe grows downward, penetrating the skin of the toe. The condition is most often seen in the big toe, but can occur in any of the toes. Most often you will observe red, inflamed, swollen, or infected skin around the nail. What Are the Risk Factors for Ingrown Toenails? The most common causes of ingrown toenails are: 1) wearing improperly fitting shoes; 2) trimming toenails incorrectly; and 3) sustaining sports injuries to the toes. Diabetic patients are also at high risk and must maintain constant foot care to ensure prevention. Proper Foot Care When buying shoes, it is very important that they not be too tight or too loose. Poorly fitting shoes or high heels put pressure on the toes, which can force the nail into the skin. This can lead to inflammation and infection. Furthermore, toenails should be trimmed straight across and kept at a decent length that is not too long or too short. These simple precautions could prevent you from developing an ingrown toenail and thus save you from excruciating pain and a trip to the doctor’s office. Treatment of Ingrown Toenails Finding a safe and effective treatment for ingrown toenails can be difficult. Much misinformation can be found on the Internet, but a commonsense approach using the following steps can alleviate the problem. First, you must evaluate your situation to see if you are eligible for self-treatment. If you have any type of nerve damage, have circulation issues in the foot, suspect an infection in the nail, or are diabetic, you must be seen by a physician. Do not try to self-treat in these circumstances. If you do not need to seek physician care for those issues, you may try the following. First, soak the foot in water up to 3 to 4 times a day. This can help with the pain as well as assist with the next steps of treatment. Remember to keep the toe dry between soakings. Next, place floss, antiseptic-treated cotton, or a bandage under the nail to help it grow away from the skin naturally. Never try to cut the toenail out on your own, as this will usually worsen the problem. When trimming the nail, do not round the edges. Try to trim straight across. If none of these steps work for the problem, a visit to the doctor is warranted, as it may be necessary to have part of the nail removed. Ignore Myths and Old Wives' Tales Although it may be tempting to search the Internet for other treatments, it is ultimately better to follow the treatments and advice offered above. Home remedies such as tying a lemon to the toe, soaking the toe in turpentine, or using electric sanding devices to thin the toenail have never been proven safe or effective in the treatment of ingrown toenail and could actually make the problem much worse. Remember, if you have questions, Consult Your Pharmacist Sam Marshall, Shaunna Rechsteiner —Pharmacists 95 East Center St. l PHONE (435) 676-2212

Practical Money Matters
Divorcing? Protect Your Finances, Personal Data No doubt you've seen many warnings against sharing personal or financial information with strangers, but what about your spouse – or ex-spouse? A recent study by McAfee uncovered some unsettling results: • Although 96 percent of adults surveyed trust their significant other with passwords, intimate photos and other personal content, only 32 percent have asked their ex to delete the information when ending the relationship. • One in five people said they're likely to log into their spouse's Facebook account at least once a month. • Some 30 percent admitted they'd "cyber-stalked" their significant other's ex on social media. Given the high rate of divorce and how frequently marriages end acrimoniously, it's not a big leap to think that a scorned lover could severely damage your credit and reputation. If you're getting divorced, here are some important legal, financial and privacy considerations: If you and your spouse are in complete agreement on how you wish to divide assets and settle debts, you may be able get by with a do-it-yourself divorce kit. It's still wise to have
by Jason Alderman a divorce attorney review the forms to make sure you haven't overlooked anything. If your separation is more complicated but relatively amicable, you may also want to try collaborative divorce, mediation or arbitration: • Collaborative divorce. Both parties retain a lawyer and the four of you hash out an agreement outside the courtroom. You each control the final agreement instead of having to abide by a judge's decision. • Mediation. You each have lawyers but hire a third-party mediator to work through differences on critical issues. Mediators don't have the legal authority to impose final decisions. • Arbitration. Like mediation, except that the arbiter hands down a binding agreement by which you each must abide. If you can't settle out of court, be prepared to possibly pay many thousands of dollars in attorney and court fees. Ask around for referrals to lawyers who specialize in divorce. You may also want to consult a financial planning professional for advice on how to fairly divide property, calculate child support and ensure you're sufficiently insured, as well as explain Social Security

and retirement plan implications. To protect your credit status, close joint bank and credit card accounts and open new ones in your own name; otherwise, an economically struggling or vindictive ex-spouse could amass debt in your name and ruin your credit. If your ex retains the house or car, make sure your name is taken off the loan so you're not responsible if they flake on payments. Be sure all closed accounts are paid off, even if you must transfer balances to your new account and pay them off yourself. That's because late or unmade payments by either party on a joint account – open or closed – will damage both of your credit scores. Check your credit reports before, during and after the divorce to make sure you're aware of all outstanding debts and to ensure that all joint accounts were properly closed. The three major credit bureaus, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, don't always list the same accounts, so to be safe, order credit reports from each. Change all passwords, PINs, and other information your ex could use to access your electronic devices and financial, email and social media accounts. Also, don't email or post malicious or revealing information that could be damaging if presented in court. Bottom line: Divorce can be a painful experience to live through. Don't make it worse by not protecting your own financial interests. Jason Alderman directs Visa's financial education programs. To Follow Jason Alderman on Twitter: www.twitter.com/PracticalMoney.
