Election Officials Contest Wayne County Election WAYNE COUNTY/ SALT LAKE CITY - The office of Spencer Cox, Lieutenant Governor of the State of Utah, who is in charge of overseeing elections within the state, announced on Friday, July 15, 2016 that allegations of misconduct were “recently raised related to the county commission primary race in Wayne County.” The announcement stated that if proven to be accurate, the allegations may have impacted the final outcome of the election. In response to the allegations, Lt. Gov. Spencer J. Cox, in conjunction with the Attorney General’s Office, the Wayne County Attorney’s Office and the Wayne County Clerk/Auditor’s Office, have filed in 6th Judicial District Court the necessary legal petition to contest the Wayne County commission primary election. This court filing is necessary at this time because the deadline to file an election contest was July 15. “We moved faster than probably we wanted to, but had to because we had until [last] Friday to contest the elections. It is an ongoing investigation, and we would have liked to have more time to know where

we stand, but needed to act by Friday, July 15,” said Mark Thomas, who is Director of Elections within the Lieutenant Governor’s office. Utah state statute says that to contest an election you have to file within 10 days of the election canvass. The legal petition filed on July 15 states, “The challenge to the election is based, primarily, on the conduct of the candidate, Respondent David Brinkerhoff's, wife, Respondent Coral Brinkerhoff, who is an employee of Wayne County and who improperly and wrongfully used her official position to improperly change voter affiliations to allow voters to vote in as a Republican in the 2016 primary election, as well as improperly and wrongfully using her official position to access voter databases to determine who had, or had not, voted by mail and then used that information to call voters and urge them to vote for Respondent David Brinkerhoff.” The petition continues, “Respondent Coral BrinkerElection Results Cont'd on page 2

Trained when to shoot and when not to shoot... Letter to Citizens of Garfield County, I have served my country in the U.S. Army, and I have been in Law Enforcement for 40 years in Garfield County. Looking at events that happened in Dallas, Texas has left me sickened. The officers were doing their job protecting a peaceful event of Black Lives Matter. I guess I do not understand the thought. I was taught that all lives matter. If you look at the true facts there are more blacks killed by blacks, more whites killed by whites, more Hispanics killed by Hispanics, I could go on about the facts. There are more whites killed by Law Enforcement than any other race. It is a fact that our Law Enforcement in some cases are not following the training they have received. I know that through my training as a Law Enforcement Officer, I was trained to shoot and not shoot. I have had to pass background checks on every position that I have held. This was to make sure that I had been trained properly in rules and procedures of the job. One of the trainings was to know when to shoot and not to shoot. On all of my Law Enforcement training it was required that I pass before I was qualified to serve. I have seen this is not so in so many departments. The biggest problem that I see is they are not trained to handle the adrenalin rush. Every Officer is faced with this and need to be trained on how it affects the decisions that they make. When I was in Law Enforcement I had to continue to attend training every year several times to keep my certification. I feel that it is important that all officers need to keep their certifications up as we all know how quick changes in equipment, laws and personnel are made. There should be written policies and procedures done for every Department to insure that Officers are following them. They should also be reviewed by the Department Attorney’s and Department Heads to insure they cover any and all changes made. I respect and support all law enforcement officers and departments who follow written procedures and policies. I have a very hard time understanding how anyone could take a life no matter what their belief is. When a person who thinks killing a fellow human being is correct no matter what his or her race may be is wrong. I pray that the world wakes up before it is too late. GOD Bless America. Thank you for your time! Don Mosier, Escalante

Garfield County Set to Chip Seal Salt Gulch Road

P& Z Hearing Raises Questions About Zoning Changes and “Spot” Zoning

HWY 12/NEAR BOULDER - Confirming a recent rumor, Garfield County Engineer Brian Bremner has said that Garfield County does plan to chip seal Salt Gulch road, starting at Highway 12 and up to the end of the private properties, about 5.5 miles. Bremner says it was "always part of the plan" to get the road chip sealed. Bremner said that the county has been placing magnesum chloride on the road as a stabilizing agent every four or five years, at a cost of about $25,000 per application. He said it will cost roughly $360,000 to do the chip seal project. The county plans to initiate the project sometime in August. —Insider

ESCALANTE - Escalante City’s Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on July 12 regarding a request for a proposed zone change at 235 North 400 West and 520 West 200 North. The requested zoning change was from Single-Family Residential District (RR-1-20) to a Residential/ Commercial District (RC). The request was filed by Ben Venuti for a proposed multi-unit cabin type of development, as guest accommodations. The hearing took place to a room full of citizens, many of whom spoke both in favor of and in opposition to the zoning change and project. Those in favor, including some—mostly already commercial--neighbors of the proposed project, cited Venuti’s track record of tasteful development and that the proposal will replace a current eyesore. Several opposed, including neighbors—mostly residential-- of the proposed project said they did not like that a commercial project will change the character of the neighborhood as residential, with others citing that “spot” zoning is a “slippery slope” and one requested, “Let’s look at the zoning for the city because people are buying property based on what the zoning is not on what it might be in the future.” Several residents in opposition said that they are seeking legal counsel. Others indicated that they couldn’t really be for or against the project because they did not know what the proposal is due to lack of information. At the end of the public hearing the Escalante P&Z Commission voted to table the proposed zoning change until they could review the situation and proposal further, and explore other options such as Planned Unit Development without a zone change, and proposed a work meeting to facilitate this process. —Insider

Election Results

Cont'd from page 1

hoff's conduct is not only imputed to Respondent David Brinkerhoff, but Respondent David Brinkerhoff also actively used the improperly gained information to contact voters and seek votes. Their activities caused great concern amongst the voters of Wayne County, some of whom declined to vote due to a fear that the Respondents would be able to see how the voter cast their ballot. The Respondent's activities have undermined the integrity of, and confidence in, the election process and changed the result of the election. The only recourse is to set aside and annul the 2016 Wayne County primary election results.” Brinkerhoff had access to

the Voter Information and State Tracking Application (VISTA) database through her role as Deputy County Clerk. Elections Director Thomas said, “The first time I heard about it was through our state IT (Information Technology) managers. That’s when I became aware that there might be a problem.” He said that it was not until the primary election day that his office became aware that the Deputy Clerk had “pulled some reports inappropriately.” In Lieutenant Governor Cox’s statement, he said, “As election officials the voters entrust us to ensure our elections are administered with the utmost integrity,”“Election misconduct will not be tolerated and will be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.” David Brinkerhoff won the 2016 Republican primary to become the nominee for Wayne County Commissioner on the general election ballot by 55 votes. Thomas says that the last time that the state elections office charged anyone with voter registration fraud was in 2006, in Daggett County. “This is pretty rare,” said Thomas. “It’s not something that I have ever seen where you have someone who has access to a lot of information and someone who is in charge of overseeing an election in charge of registering people, changing people’s information.” “Obviously we try to hold our election officials to a high standard. This has kept me up at night I know that. But the only way to move forward is to be as open and transparent as we can be,” Thomas added. As a result of the petition, the Sixth Judicial Court of Wayne County has annulled and set aside the 2016 Wayne County Primary results and will permit the Republican party to name a candidate County Commissioner to be placed on the 2016 general election ballot. The Lieutenant Governor’s office stated that a criminal investigation into the matter is currently being conducted by several law enforcement agencies. —Insider

Fishing Report BAKER RESERVOIR: (July 15) Access to Baker Reservoir and Pine Valley Reservoir is open again. BARKER RESERVOIRS (NORTH CREEK LAKES): (July 15) Catchable-sized rainbow trout have been stocked in Barker and Lower Barker. Fishing is fair to good at most lakes. If you find slow fishing at one lake, don't hesitate to move to another. BOULDER MOUNTAIN: (July 15) You'll find fair to good fishing across the mountain. For better fishing, try getting away from the most popular lakes. Also, don't hesitate to move to a new lake if you find slow fishing. Spin anglers should try marabou jigs, tube jigs, Gulp minnows, spinners, Jake's and Kastmasters. Bait anglers should focus on natural baits like nightcrawlers or cut bait (this is especially effective for large tigers). Fly anglers should bring an assortment of streamers, terrestrials, bead head nymphs and your favorite dry patterns. Most Boulder lakes are full of freshwater shrimp, so scuds are a must in your fly box. Mid-summer is an ideal time to target grayling and cutthroat trout. These fish can often be caught on dry flies or nymphs. The Quiet Fly Fisher fly shop reports that callibaetis mayflies are hatching in many lakes — be prepared with nymphs, emergers, duns and spinners to match the particular stage of the hatch. They have also done well lately with leech patterns and scuds. Check out our Boulder Mountain fishing guide for a look at the different fish (and their sizes) in the many lakes found on the mountain. CLEAR CREEK: (July 15) The restoration of Bonneville cutthroat trout is complete in the Clear Creek drainage and anglers are now reaping the benefits. Look for catchable-sized fish throughout the entire stream this year. Some of the tributaries — including Mill, Fish and Shingle creeks — will also provide good fishing opportunities. Anglers report good to excellent fishing. CORN CREEK: (July 15) Catchable-sized rainbow trout have been stocked near campgrounds in Corn, Chalk and Oak creeks. Tiger trout have also been stocked in Chalk and Oak. You can find lots of wild brown trout in Corn, wild rainbows in Chalk, and Bonneville cutthroat trout in Oak. DUCK CREEK POND / ASPEN MIRROR LAKE: (July 15) Catchable-sized rainbow trout have been stocked in both lakes. Duck Creek Pond also received some catchablesized tiger trout. FISH LAKE: (July 15) Fishing has been good to excellent lately in the morning and evening. Afternoon winds are blowing most boats off the lake. Trollers are finding good success with pop gear and worms. Lots of recently stocked rainbows are being caught in shallow water. Trolling deeper (below 20 feet) has produced bigger rainbows and splake, as well as an occasional pup lake trout and brown. One angler even reports catching a fat, ten-inch kokanee. Some larger splake have been caught by jigging off the slide areas on the east shore. Anglers have also picked up a few lake trout jigging tube jigs tipped with cut bait in deep water. Perch action can be fast while jigging just outside the weedline. There are still a few prizes left over from the perch tournament for lucky anglers who catch tagged perch. Be sure to check in at the Lakeside General Store before you go fishing to be eligible for prizes. Call the Fish Lake Lodge at 435-638-1000 or Bowery Haven Resort at 435-638-1040 to check conditions before you go. FORSYTH RESERVOIR: (July 15) A recent netting survey found that most of the larger fish went downstream when the reservoir was drained last year. The tiger trout stocked last summer stayed in the creek, however, so there are plenty of ten-inch fish to catch, as well as a handful of bigger fish. Call the Quiet Fly Fisher fly shop at 435-616-2319 for up-to-date conditions and fishing reports. FREMONT RIVER: (July 15) Johnson Reservoir is full and spilling, so flows have come up and the fishing has slowed down a little. Fish are still feeding, though, and you can catch them. The Quiet Fly Fisher fly shop recommends throwing large, attractor-style

dry flies, caddis and terrestrials. Call the shop at 435-616-2319 for up-to-date conditions and fishing reports. JOHNSON RESERVOIR: (July 15) There haven't been any recent reports on fishing success, but the best time to target tiger muskies is usually when the water clears up in June and early July. Call the Quiet Fly Fisher fly shop at 435-616-2319 for up-to-date conditions and fishing reports. KOOSHAREM RESERVOIR: (July 15) There haven't been any recent fishing reports. Catchable-sized rainbow trout have been stocked. The southwest shoreline was posted closed to trespassing by the landowner, but public access remains available through BLM land near the restroom. LOWER BOWNS RESERVOIR: (July 15) Access is good and fishing is reported as good. Call the Quiet Fly Fisher fly shop at 435-616-2319 for up-to-date conditions and fishing reports. MILL MEADOW RESERVOIR: (July 15) A recent netting survey found lots of small to medium-sized brown trout, as well as a handful of nice tigers and splake that washed down from Forsyth last summer. Catchable-sized rainbows have also been stocked. You should find fair to good fishing for rainbows and browns. Call the Quiet Fly Fisher fly shop at 435-6162319 for up-to-date conditions and fishing reports. NAVAJO LAKE: (July 15) The road into Navajo Lake is being paved this summer. Construction runs Monday–Friday

from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. You can expect 30-minute delays during these times. No construction is scheduled on weekends or federal holidays. Catchablesized rainbow trout have been stocked and should provide fair to good fishing. Splake fishing has been slow this year because chubs are abundant and splake are not very hungry. PANGUITCH LAKE: (July 15) Fishing is fair until the wind picks up, which has been happening at about 10 a.m. each day. Trolling pop gear and a worm, or shore fishing on steeper shorelines, has produced best. PINE LAKE: (July 15) Catchable-sized rainbow trout have been stocked, so fishing should be fair to good. TROPIC RESERVOIR: (July 15) Catchable-sized rainbow trout have been stocked and should provide fair to good fishing. A recent netting survey found a handful of nice brown trout that weighed up to five pounds. WIDE HOLLOW RESERVOIR: (July 15) The state park reports water temperature in the 60s and active bass and bluegill. YANKEE MEADOW RESERVOIR: (July 15) Catchable-sized rainbow trout have been stocked. Pressure is high on the weekend. Fishing from boats generally produces better than shore fishing, though one group recently found success with corn-flavored PowerBait. One angler also reports fast action on dry flies near sunset. —Utah Division of Wildlife Resources

Message from GCSD's New Superintendent Hello Garfield County! I would like to take today to introduce myself, what I represent, and what my goals are for the students of Garfield County School District. I replaced Mr. Ben Dalton as of July 1, 2016. Mr. Dalton made several major changes in Garfield’s education practices. I hope to finish up some of his projects and modernize several other areas. My parents are from Minersville and I was raised in Beaver. In 31 years, I have taught 6th grade for one year, Science and Math for 12 years at Beaver High School, and have been involved in school administration for 18 years. I am a proponent of student success. I have a philosophy that all students can learn if given the proper environment. At the same time, I realize all students do not progress at the same rate. As a result, our schools must continually change instruction to meet all student needs at their individual levels. We have been hit in the past with “No Child Left Behind” and slogans such as “Every Students Succeeds.” To achieve individual student success at all levels is not a formula or a program we follow step by step. It is the product when individual teachers help all students’ progress based on the student’s desire and ability. I wish success for GCSD, and I will strive to help each teacher expand the educational potential of your children. With success for all as our goal, I can’t wait to see the achievement of our next generation. —Tracy Davis, Garfield County School District, Superintendent

Snow College Receives USDA Grant to Continue Distance Learning Education SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July 15, 2016 – USDA Rural Development State Director Dave Conine today announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will fund a Distance Learning and Telemedicine (DLT) project to Snow College to help connect rural Utah communities with educational experts in other parts of the state, increasing access to advanced educational opportunities. “Students in Utah’s rural communities deserve the same educational opportunities as students in urban areas,” Conine said, “USDA’s

Distance Learning and Telemedicine Program, with local educational institutions, helps bridge the gap that distance creates, ensuring rural students achieve their goals of higher education.” USDA is awarding $304,132 to Snow College to purchase updated interactive video conferencing equipment for three high schools and three charter schools in rural areas. This project makes it possible for Snow College to continue their distance learning and concurrent enrollment programs. These courses, offered to students at small high

schools, afford opportunities that such students may otherwise never have. USDA Rural Development has provided $213 million for 634 DLT projects in rural areas nationwide since 2009. USDA’s Rural Utilities Service, which administers the DLT program, also offers infrastructure programs that bring broadband, safe drinking water and improved wastewater treatment facilities to rural communities. —USDA Rural Development

What To Do Upon the Death of a Loved One by Jeffery J. mCKenna

One of the greatest challenges in this life is the loss of a loved one. Unfortunately, in addition to the terrible, emotional strain associated with this loss, there are many legal issues that must be addressed. This article attempts to provide a brief checklist of some of the legal issues that should be addressed upon the passing of a loved one. Legal Documents: Determine whether the deceased left a will, trust or other documents to take effect upon death. Whether there is a will or trust will effect how the estate administration should proceed. If there is no will or trust, state laws will govern the administration process. It should be noted that powers of attorney that may have been used while the decedent was alive terminate upon death. Individuals Cared for by the Deceased: Minor children or incapacitated adults that were being cared for by the deceased must have someone else appointed to take care of their needs. Usually, a court will appoint a guardian and/or conservator for the minor or incapacitated adult. This person can be designated in the

deceased’s will. Inventory of Assets: It is very important to locate all of the deceased’s assets and ensure that they are protected and sufficiently insured. Secure and inventory family heirlooms, antiques and other personal property items of value. If the deceased lived alone, it may be wise to promptly change the locks on the home. In doing an inventory of the assets, it is helpful to take photos or videos. Payment of Creditors: Determine that there are sufficient assets in the estate to cover funeral expenses and other debts before paying any bills. If some creditors are paid and it is later determined that there are insufficient assets to pay others, there can be problems. Social Security: Contact the social security office to determine what benefit, if any, may be available for the surviving spouse and/or minor children. Tax Returns: Often, state and federal tax returns including the deceased’s final 1040 income tax return, the estate or trust’s 1041 income tax return, and possibly an estate tax re-

turn must be prepared. The preceding is a brief list of some of the items that should be considered upon a loved one’s death. Although proper estate planning can do much to minimize and help simplify procedures at death, there are legal issues that must be addressed when a loved one dies. An estate plan that addresses and minimizes these legal issues is truly a wonderful gift for those that are left behind. WITH A SATELLITE OFFICE NOW IN PANGUITCH. Jeffery J.

Today's Thought

Don't worry about what people think. They don't do it very often.

2 Questions

When eighty-four-yearold William fell in love with his eighty-three-year-old neighbor Phyllis, he thought his heart would burst with joy. However, little did he know that it was another part of his body that would give way first. Getting down on his knees to propose to Phyllis, he told her that he wanted to ask her two questions. Firstly, would she marry him? "Oh yes," she replied. "But what's your second question" "Will you help me up?"

Suspicion

As a busy working parent, I try to pack in as many errands on my lunch break as possible. One noontime I raced to get a chest X-ray at the hospital, then went to the cleaners and finally, the supermarket. When I returned to the office, I noticed strange looks from my co-workers. Eventually one of them inquired what I did during lunch and after explaining the hectic hour, I asked, "Why do you want to know?" "Well," he said, "your shirt is inside out."

l A u G h i N g pOiNt!! S'all Good

Driving through New Jersey on Interstate 80 en route from Pennsylvania to New York, I came upon a group of cars that were abnormally traveling exactly at the 55 MPH speed limit. In the middle of the group was a state police cruiser that everyone was reluctant to pass. After several minutes the officer's voice rang out over her roof-mounted loudspeaker. "For heaven's sake, move!" she commanded. "I am a Pennsylvania trooper."

Wait...

Recently, I called to make reservations on a small charter plane that departs from a small airport in New Jersey. I knew that I would be flying in a very small plane, so I was not surprised when the clerk said, "The plane is very full with baggage and passengers." Then she asked, "How much do you weigh, sir?" Not thinking clearly I answered, "With or without clothes?" "Well," said the clerk, "how do you intend to travel?"

Truth

Having a family breakfast at a local restaurant, my very active seven-year-old nephew was given a blank paper placemat and crayons to keep him entertained. He busily created pictures including all the family members. When finished, he turned to me and said,"Look, Uncle Wayne, I made a picture of you." I looked at it and said,"Hey, that's great! You made me look so tall and slim." He replied, "Yeah, I know, but I was running out of paper."

Kid's Meal

We had been travelling by plane a lot, and as usual I had ordered children's meals ahead of time for my three kids. When six-year-old Jerome received his, he opened the container, took one look at it and incredulously said, "Mom, they call this a children's meal?" I glanced at the standard fare of chicken and fries and asked, "What do you mean, Jerome?" "Look!" he exclaimed. "Broccoli!"

FYI PanguItch

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Oh weren’t the Fiddlers great? We were in St. George and only caught the last half of Friday’s concert; it is hard to come up with words that describe how good they are. They finished up the evening with the Orange Blossom Special and got a standing ovation for their work. It is good to see some young people playing so well and knowing that their music will carry on. The Fiddlers love playing at the Social Hall and in Panguitch, (they always feel welcome here) they have been coming here for 18 years now and judging from Friday night's large crowd, they will be back for many years to come. Saturday’s 24th parade, celebrating Pioneer Days, will be the last of our big events for the summer. Our parade just keeps getting bigger each year and is always a lot of fun, with more floats than any parade around. The Iron County parade is two hours long but only has a few floats. These floats are a tradition and many of the Wards in Town spend countless hours decorating them. As usual the kids will have enough candy to fill up many bags. The Scouts will have their breakfast at the Zions Bank and is a great way to start the day. The parade starts at 10:00 am and it will be followed by the Fire Fighters' famous deep pit roast beef luncheon and this will start at 12:30 at the Fair Building. There are always a lot of family reunions on the 24th and they are a good time to check up on your relatives and see what they are up to. If they are doing well financially maybe you can get them to adopt you.

I did lie, there is one other event for the summer and that’s the Garfield County Fair. The Fair usually comes on the 2nd week in August, and there are tons to fun things to do there. My favorite is the fish grab for the little kids, there is the horse shoe tossing contest, ping pong drop, many rides for the youth. The Commissioners free luncheon is always a big hit. There are contests for the 4H kids, showing off their various animals. Many fine displays of art and craft works from the locals will be at the Fair Building. Then in the afternoon it is the talent show and oh my there is so much talent here it is really hard to pick out the best one. If you become bored, you must not know that we live in the entertainment capital of Utah. Not only do we live in some of the most scenic country in the world, but it is only a hop skip and a jump over to Cedar City for their world class Shakespeare Festival. This is the Festival’s 55th year and they have a new outdoor Engelstad Shakespeare Theater; it will be replacing the former Adams Theater. The new theater still allows you to see Shakespeare under the stars. The old Adams Theater was a real fun place to watch the plays , the new Theater doesn’t lose any of this charm. As always there are 6 plays offered, four of them are Shakespeare’s. This year’s offering are Much Ado About Nothing, Henry the V, Julius Caesar, The Three Musketeers, most of these plays run until the second week in Sept. The Coconuts and Mary Poppins are the other two. Two more

will be run in the fall, Murder for Two and The Odd Couple. They bring in world class cast members and Artists. Please call Cedar City for dates and ticket prices. Just a few miles south of Cedar City, near St. George, is the Tuacahn Amphitheatre and one the greatest settings for a theater in the world. This year they are featuring three interesting plays, Disney’s Tarzan, Peter Pan and The Hunchback. The special effects at Tuacahn are something to behold, they can flood the stage with water, fly people through the air and feature full life animals on the stages, horses, camels etc. It is a little hot right now for an outdoor theater, but in late August and early September it is ideal. If you get seats near the top they do spray a fine mist on you to keep you cooled down. You can also purchase a Dutch oven dinner before the show if you would like. The number to call is (800)746-9882 for show time and reservations. NASA spacecraft after a five year trip has reached the Planet Jupiter. The spacecraft was named after one of Jupiter moons, Juno. The solar

powered spacecraft made the 1.8 billion mile trip at 165,000 miles per hour in 5 years. Last Monday as Juno approached Jupiter it fired its main rocket engine to slow it down and it slipped in to orbit around the planet. Juno carries nine instruments to map Jupiter’s interior and study its turbulent atmosphere and send close up pictures of the planet home, as it circles for a year. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. After a year the spacecraft will be deliberately crashed into Jupiter’s atmosphere and burned up. This will happen in the year 2018, it is done so that it won’t run into one of Jupiter many moons. Not all went well on this mission, the scientists miscalculated Juno’s arrival time by one second. The weather map says that maybe the monsoons are coming this week, with the whole state under a red fire danger it sure will be a welcomed. However sometimes these storms bring lighting, instead of moisture and we surely don’t need that. Mack O.

Mayor Dave Roberts (released 7/8/16) The first weeks of July have been busy with activity camps for the young men and women of the Escalante Stake. Amy Syrett and Sydney Lamas put together a great week for the Young Women with many spiritual and uplifting activities taking place. The theme was: "League of Our Own". Following last week was the 1st Annual "Heleman's Camp", also held at Tropic Reservoir. There were about 60 young men from the Escalante Stake in attendance. Shawn Chynoweth, Rozin Manning, and Alan Torgerson were in charge of the camp events and everyone had a great time. It also was a very uplifting week for all involved. Thanks to all the leaders for both weeks for an uplifting week for the young men and women. It was well worth the time spent! Speakers in Henrieville were Brooke and Heidi Shakespeare and their twin children, Sam and Shianne. The twins spoke about Helaman's and Young Women's Camps. In Cannonville the speakers were Ray Gardiner and Chris Chappell. In Tropic the speakers were Chandlyr Tebbs who just returned from his mission and his brother,

Daxtyn Tebbs who begins his mission. First time in three years the whole family was all together at once. Jon and Stephanie Scott had their adopted daughter, Ellen Scott, sealed to them on July 20th. This is a great event for the family. Grandparents are Alma and Anita Fletcher of Cannonville.

Invitations will be coming out soon and the day will start at 10:00 A.M. The July Birthday group met for lunch at Mary-Miller Boyd's home and enjoyed some delicious food and each others company. This group has been meeting since July 16, 2001 and have had many come and go as the years have passed. It has been a fun adventure and we look forward to it each year. If you are a July Birthday lady let us know, we would love to have you join us. Attending on 14 July were Sandy Johnson, Gayle Moore, Brenda Rose, Mary-Miller Boyd, LaNae Cloud, and Vicki Syrett.

Boulder Heritage Festival 2016 by adus f. dorsey ii

J

U L Y 17, 2016 There are some things in life that you just have to do every year and the Boulder Heritage Festival is one of them. The festival organizers start getting real itchy in March, and by May, everybody is so tuned up that Camille can tell you what room you are going to be in at Pole’s Place and what your job is come festival weekend. After twelve years running, the Boulder Heritage Festival Pictured: Cousin Camille and Doug, "Picture Perfect." has become a welloiled machine. For festival weekend, Phoenix, Arizona one patron in the Dutch oven and Viki wowed the crowd is left musician-less, as all dinner line call it, “Skeletons and from where I was sitting the good ones are all in or on in the Closet”. I think Patrick Briggs and his their way to Boulder at “The As always, there was no band of mis-fits may have just Tropic Crooner” Raymond’s lack of music at the festival, out done themselves…maybe, request. the musician line up looked probably. The 2016 Boulder Heri- something like the who’s The Saturday stage kicked tage Festival theme was who of Boulder. On Friday off with an open mic, some peo“Picture Perfect”. This years the 15th, Bob was there; Juan ple in attendance were kind of Heritage Festival was held in Holladay made an appearance, wishing some of the politicians conjunction with the “History Unknown Quantity whipped in the crowd might have got up in Your Attic” project, or as out some good tunes.

Elaine Chesnut

adus dorsey

Never once did Elaine Chesnut ever mince words with me, everything she said was matter of fact. During nearly every conversation I ever had with her, she would make me squirm but it always made me listen. Without going into a lot of ancient history, Elaine and I go way back, for me anyways, back to the 80’s. As far as I know nothing has ever happened in Torrey with out Elaine knowing about it. And that historical fact has been taking place since way before I was born. If you ever wanted to know something / anything Torrey, you went to Elaine, so I often did. On one such pivotal occasion I went to see Elaine about a crazy idea that came to me after a rather contentious Torrey Town Council Meeting, in 09’. Without any hesitation and right there on her front porch, Elaine said to me, “Never be afraid to speak up or do the right thing.” Right then and there I made a personal promise to her that I always would. —Adus

obituaries

even more controversial. The band Otter Creek did not disappoint, and what can’t you say about Mary Kaye and the Kay sisters, they were nothing short of stellar. Jimmy Pines and Washboard Jere really had me going.. Jimmy sang a song about the inheritance he received from his Mom. When he got the money, Jimmy decided adus dorsey he would buy a gun and a guitar. And on the guitar he wrote a song about the gun. I liked that. I tried the same thing when I got a cat but it didn’t sound near as good. Barefoot and Pregnant an almost all Girl Band from the parched-land made their appearance at 8:00 p.m., I was sort of surprised someone from Planned Parenthood wasn’t on hand to hand out promotional material? Junction 10, also from Phoenix, hit the stage right after nine. All I can say is there had to be some real sad Saturday night women in Phoenix over the July 16th weekend. “All dressed up and no where to go!” Robert Perez and his Honkey Tonk band slid on stage and didn’t stop until Mason the soundman was physically forced to pull the plug. The Giant Perez stretched it out to the limit on the 2016 Boulder Heritage Festival Stage. Everything that happened after Junction 10 hardly deserves much of a mention….

Elaine O. Chesnut 1932 - 2016

TORREY - Our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and sister, Elaine Okerlund Curtis Chesnut, age 83, passed away peacefully on July 15, 2016 at her home in Torrey.

She then attended Snow College for two years. Elaine married McLloyd Curtis March 1, 1958 in Las Vegas, Nevada and they had one son together. McLloyd died April 15, 1959. She then married Max Jay Chesnut, a widower with four children, August 23, 1963 in Las Vegas. Together they had two more children and blended a yours, mine and ours family. Jay died March 16, 1999. Elaine was a member of the LDS Church, serving in many callings throughout her lifetime. She served as Torrey Town Secretary for 19 years and was a member of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers, Camp Radair. Elaine loved gardening and being out in the yard. She loved to cook, and worked as a cook for the school lunch program for the Wayne School District for 28 years. She loved to take afternoon rides to get a cold Coke. She enjoyed genealogy. Elaine loved to visit with anyone, especially if they would join her on her front porch. She never minced words and you always knew right where you stood with Elaine. She enjoyed hot sun shiny days in the summer and the only thing she liked about winter was a big fire in the fireplace, all winter long. Elaine loved her grandkids and great-grandkids. She often said that they were the reason she went on living. She will be greatly missed. Elaine is survived by her children: Maxine White of North Platte, Nebraska; Judy and Rick Iams of Ogden; Buttons and Marion Chappell of Lyman; Mack Curtis of Torrey; Noreen and Bruce Johnson of Bicknell; Scott and Tracy Chesnut of Torrey; 17 grandchildren; 28 grandchildren and 5 great-great-grandchildren; a brother, Clenn and Evelyn Okerlund of Lyman.

Quagga Compliance Improves, but Officers Still Concerned July 24 holiday weekend is nearing ST. GEORGE - The upcoming Pioneer Day weekend should be a busy one at boating and fishing waters in Utah. As the weekend nears, Division of Wildlife Resources officers are both happy— and concerned—about what they’re seeing at quagga mussel inspection stations in the state. Since the boating season began, the number of boaters stopping at the mandatory stations has improved. However, too many boaters are still ‘blowing past’ the stations and risking a ticket. Officers are especially concerned about the station at the St. George port of entry. The port of entry is off Interstate 15, just south of St. George. Watercraft traveling north on I-15 must stop at it. From April 14 through July 10, a total of 2,330 watercraft stopped at the port. About 514 didn’t stop. “Many of the boats that are traveling north on I-15 are coming from Lake Mead and other waters in Nevada,” says DWR Lieutenant Scott Dalebout. “These waters are heavily infested with mussels.”

DWR officers pull over and ticket as many boaters as they can. But there aren’t enough officers to watch the port of entry all the time. “The key to keeping quagga mussels out of Utah, and keeping mussels that are in Lake Powell from spreading to other waters,” Dalebout says, “is complete and total support from the public. Please stop at the mandatory stations. Please do the right thing.” If quagga mussels get into Utah’s waters, every person in the state could be affected. “Our biggest concern is the water infrastructure in the state,” Dalebout says. “Everything from drinking water to irrigation water to water treatment facilities would be affected. We absolutely must do everything we can to keep these mussels from getting into and spreading in Utah.” You can learn more about how you can help—by properly cleaning, draining and drying your boat—at www. stdofthesea.com. Still not good enough Mandatory quagga mussel inspection stations are found at four locations in

Utah. Since the boating season began, compliance rates have improved at all of them. But, the rates—especially at the station south of St. George— still aren’t good enough: · The Interstate 15 port of entry near St. George. All watercraft traveling north on I-15 must stop. Compliance rate is 80 percent. · Two stations at Lake Powell, one at the Wahweap marina and one at the Bullfrog marina. All watercraft exiting the marinas must stop. Compliance rate is approximately 85 percent. · The Daniels Canyon port of entry on U.S. Highway 40, just southeast of Heber City. Watercraft traveling southeast, out of Heber City and Provo, must stop. Compliance rate is 90 percent. · Two inspection stations near Bear Lake, one in Garden City and one in Laketown. All watercraft traveling to Bear Lake must stop. Compliance rate is 95 percent. Why the concern? There are many reasons

why the DWR and its partners want to keep quagga mussels, and their cousins, zebra mussels, out of Utah: - Mussels can plug water lines, even lines that are large in diameter. If mussels get into water pipes in Utah, it will cost millions of dollars to try to remove them. If you live in Utah, you’ll likely pay higher utility bill costs to pay for the removal attempts. - Mussels can get into your boat’s engine cooling system. Once they do, they’ll foul the system and damage the engine. - Mussels remove plankton from the water, the same plankton that supports fish in Utah. Mussels could devastate the state’s fisheries. - When mussels die in large numbers, they stink. And their sharp shells can cut your feet as you walk along the beaches where the mussels died. —Utah Division of Wildlife Resources

Practical Money Matters

Six Basics to Consider Before Investing with a Robo Advisor by nathaniel sillin

You're looking to grow your money, but you're not quite sure how to get started. Should you go robo? Robo advisor, that is. A robo advisor is a digital investment management service that allows you to input your funds, financial data and investment preferences online and designs algorithm-based recommendations based on your responses. While a human advisor may charge one percent or more of your invested assets to help you manage your money, robo advisors typically charge only a fraction of that amount in management fees. Some allow you to open an account with only a few dollars, and others don't even require a minimum deposit to open an account. Major investment firms have entered the growing robo advisor market with their own computerized services. As new advisor options emerge and evolve quickly, it's a good idea to consider all options carefully. Examine the services industry experts (http://www. investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/011916/5-bestroboadvisors-investors-2016. asp) provide to know what you should look for in an advisor. Here are some considerations to factor into your research on robo advisors as you evaluate whether they are right for your needs. 1. Reasonable management fees and small initial investments. Robo funds often have preset investment choices based on client questionnaires about risk tolerance and investment goals, and they typically charge lower fees than human advisors. Human advisors may

charge upwards of one percent of all the money you have in your account, while robo advisor pricing options are typically a fraction of that. 2. The best robo advisor sites are streamlined and simple. Good robo advisor sites provide clearly organized, straightforward advice. For example, one of the leading robo advisor sites makes sure you have an emergency fund in place before you start selecting investments. That's the kind of good financial practice you should look for in an advisor, robo or not. 3. Federal regulators are still evaluating robo advisors. The Securities and Exchange Commission has its own recommendations for investing with robo advisors, but the most important unanswered question is whether robo advisors (and the companies that own them) really exercise fiduciary responsibility by truly putting the needs of the investor first. It's essential to understand the risks involved with entrusting your investments to the robo advisor market, where restrictions and consequences are still not completely clear. 4. As major investment firms and even banks enter the market, it's likely that more diverse options in advisory services and pricing will emerge. As big investment names are starting to offer their own robo advisor options for small investors, different robo advisor providers will likely start to differentiate their marketing, services, and fees. It's always smart to shop around for the best deals and fit for you. 5. Robo advisors are no

substitute for a basic personal finance education. It's easy to sign up for a robo fund or even find a fee-only financial planner, but it's still important to cultivate your own financial knowledge. Consider public resources on basic financial topics, the range of money management resources offered on Practical Money Skills for Life, or workshops at your community college or public library. Self-education is the most powerful tool for any endeavor, but it's especially essential to handling your finances. 6. Robo advisors aren't capable of providing truly personalized investment advice. An algorithm can't ask countless questions about your longtime financial goals and values or answer all of your queries during a major market change. Though robo advisors provide a low-cost way to get started in investing, you won't have someone who can give you personal advice when unexpected situations arise. Before you sign up, take some time to consider how much personal assistance you think you'll need. Bottom line: Like most computerized services, automated financial advise and investment planning will probably get more sophisticated with time. But while robo advisor services allow lower initial investments and fees, it's important to study the pros and cons first. Nathaniel Sillin directs Visa's financial education programs.
