More than 200 riders participated in this year's Capitol Reef Classic cycling event.

Capitol Reef Classic Burns Some Rubber in Wayne County WAYNE CO. - A lot of people think things happens for a reason and I for one happen to agree. On Saturday, July 19th in Loa, Utah, Scott and Tina Andersen’s Capitol Reef Classic made a much anticipated and triumphant 2014 return to Wayne County. Preparations began to take shape many months ago when a key list of organizers were called together in Dr. Andersen’s Dental Office in Bicknell for a root canal sized event. Plans were laid out on the table, jobs were assigned and after a quick shot to numb the senses things were off and running and there was no looking back. Along with local volunteers, elite racers from everywhere began to descend on Wayne County Friday night to receive last minute instructions and to register for the race. A race of that would consist of varying sizes, lengths and racer abilities. On Saturday morning Turner Park and the Veterans Memorial with all the new flags flying were buzzing with the excitement of a carnival come to town. Racing bikes and shoes surely costing in the thousands were being prepped and fine-tuned. Also costing well into the thousands was a gang of Harley Davidson motorcycles riders and local volunteers that would ultimately lead the pack around almost ever inch of upper Wayne County as Race Officials. Just as important as all the registered racers in their welldecorated and sponsored spandex uniforms were the local sponsors and especially all the local volunteers that lined the highways, intersections and feed stations through out the 94 mile race route. Things do happen for a reason and it takes a lot of people to make them happen. Thanks to all the volunteers and racers for making the 2014 Capitol Reef Classic special! —Adus Dorsey

ESCALANTE - Members of different organizations in Escalante have formed an Emergency Preparedness Committee. They are following guidelines with three steps: 1) identify possible and likely emergencies including natural and man- made disasters; 2) survey all members of the community to identify needs and resources; and 3) implement a plan of action to respond to an emergency. The City of Escalante has long had an emergency plan. The committee’s goal is to make use of that plan through
communicating to all citizens. Emergencies the committee has identified include forest fires, flooding, and earthquakes. Furthermore, traffic on Highway 12 has been stopped on different occasions when there was a rock slide and also when the Henrieville bridge washed out. In the 1950’s the town’s culinary water system froze leaving residents with either their personal supply or stream water to drink until the pipe was thawed out several days later.

Tourism to Bryce Canyon Creates $105.7 Million in Economic Benefit Report shows visitor spending supports 1,442 jobs in local economy BRYCE CANYON N.P. - A new National Park Service (NPS) report shows that 1,311,875 visitors to Bryce Canyon National Park in 2013 spent $105,745,800 in communities near the park. That spending supported 1,442 jobs in the local area. “Bryce Canyon welcomes visitors from across America and around the world,” said Superintendent Jeff Bradybaugh. “Our park staff and partners are delighted to share the stunning scenery, natural beauty and human history of the area and to provide exemplary outdoor experiences for visitors. We are pleased to help introduce visitors to Bryce Canyon Country and Scenic Byway 12 and all that this part of the
country has to offer. National park tourism is a significant driver in the national economy - returning $10 for every $1 invested in the National Park Service - and it’s a huge factor in our local economy as well. We appreciate the partnerships and support of our public land neighbors and local businesses, and are glad to be able help sustain local communities.” The 2013 economic benefit figures differ somewhat from the 2012 results, which were reported earlier this year. At Bryce Canyon National Park 1,385,352 visitors in 2012 spent $108,946,200 in communities near the park, supporting 1,501 jobs in the Tourism

PANGUITCH LAKE – All ten of Garfield County’s fire departments will be obtaining equipment upgrades thanks to funding obtained by Panguitch Lake Fire Chief Dave Etter, who recently applied for and received a major grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to provide each department with new self-contained breathing apparatuses. Mr. Etter says the grant took him almost two years to put together, and after being turned down by FEMA on a dozen other proposals he decided to expand his request beyond his own department to a county-wide benefit, which turned out to be successful. FEMA awarded a grant for $700,106 for a total of 99 selfcontained breathing apparatuses that will be purchased and distributed among the departments. “When firemen are in-

Credit Where it's Due
Randy Yard's letter to the editor thanked everyone for their efforts in putting on the Balloon Festival in Panguitch. This event, as well as many others that are held in Panguitch are AMAZING for a small town and Randy is right in reminding everyone that there is a lot of work that goes into them. What Randy forgot to mention is that he and his wife, Becky Yard, are part of that behind the scenes crew for not only this event, but many others. They work tirelessly as volunteers on everything that Panguitch Main Street does. They are the driving force behind the "bank robbery and shootout" held Memorial Day weekend--and Randy is one of the main actors in it! They put in lots of hours on every event that comes to Panguitch. I'm sure there are many others that help with everything that we don't know--but another couple that deserves many, many thanks from everyone in Panguitch is Mack and Pat Oetting. These two wonderful people can always be seen behind every event--putting flags on the cemetary at Memorial Day, Sub for Santa, Care and Share, Lion's Club breakfasts, Quilt Walk plays-the list goes on and on. These people, and many others, are some of the reasons Panguitch is such a great little town! A round of applause goes to these hard-working people that are first to thank others when they, themselves, should be told THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Kevin and Becky Whitney, Panguitch

even been two small tornadoes in our town despite the surrounding mountains. Drought and having the dam break are also on the list, among others. Man-made emergencies include a toxic waste spill on the highway, a busload of tourists in a wreck that would strain existing resources, or a foreign virus transported on Highway 12. The response to many of these challenges would be similar while others would require specific attention calling for specialized skills. These needs and skills are identified in the survey. Many of the identified emergencies would result in a power outage that could greatly impact specific individuals more than others. The purpose of the survey is to identify those whose needs may not be met in the likelihood of a power outage. The survey also asks what resources and training an individual has to be able to help in the time of need. Training in CERT, first aid, survival, and other certifications are identified so those individuals could be contacted. The largest category and area that almost anyone could perform is to be a block captain. This person would be responsible for contacting
8-10 households in their immediate neighborhood to inform them of a disaster and assess any needs they have. Our town needs approximately 100 block captains. Please consider doing this when you fill out the survey. Completed surveys can be turned in at the Escalante Home Center. Surveys have been distributed through email and specific employment and social groups. They are also available at the Escalante Home Center and LDS church. Our goal is to have everyone contacted and a corresponding survey filled out for each home by the end of September. Those who have not been contacted through their employment or by email may be contacted by members of the Utah Conservation Corps, a group of young men and women working on the desert to restore and preserve our area. They are willing to volunteer their time toward service hours to help the emergency preparedness committee contact every household. For anyone interested in giving input or learning more at their meetings, you may attend on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays in the Escalante Firehouse conference room on the west side of the building. —Karen Munson

local area. The peer-reviewed visitor spending analysis was conducted by U.S. Geological Survey economists Catherine Cullinane Thomas and Christopher Huber, and Lynne Koontz for the National Park Service. The authors of the report said the federal government shutdown in October 2013 accounted for most of the national decline in park visitation. The economists also cited inflation adjustments for differences between visitation and visitor spending, jobs supported and overall effect on the U.S. economy. Nationally, the report shows $14.6 billion of direct spending by 273.6 million park visitors in communities within 60 miles of a national park. This spending supported more than 237,000 jobs nationally, with more than 197,000 jobs found in these gateway communities, and had a cumulative benefit to the U.S. economy of $26.5 billion. According to the 2013
economic analysis, most visitor spending was for lodging (30.3 percent) followed by food and beverages (27.3 percent), gas and oil (12.1 percent), admissions and fees (10.3 percent) and souvenirs and other expenses (10 percent). The largest jobs categories supported by visitor spending were food and beverage establishments (50,000 jobs) and lodging (38,000 jobs).

Fire Equipment Grant Cont'd from page 1
Not only will the equipment be new, but Etter also emphasized the importance of having compatible equipment across each local department. “We have to be compatible because we help each other out,” he says. He added that the specifications for compliance of equipment by the National Fire Protection Association change every three to four years, and the breathing apparatus they are selecting will be compliant with a 2013 NFPA standard. “We had fire departments in the county that had bottles compliant to a 1980 standard. They had iron bottles, they looked like Jacques Cousteau. They were ancient,” says Etter. Etter says they will get the latest computerized equipment and they will also be
The Wayne & Garfield County INSIDER getting additional face masks. He is currently obtaining bids from several vendors to get the best price in the hope that they can also use the funding to obtain air compressors that are used to fill them up. “These are 4,500 psi bottles, and most departments currently have compressors that only go to 2,400 psi.” Etter says that several departments currently have 6,000 psi compressors that are compatible with the modern breathing systems, but that they hope to have sufficient funding to obtain several more. “I put in for a high amount [in the grant]. And I think the vendors will be competitive, so I hope I can have enough within the package to buy five $30,000 compressors for a total of $150,000. The Panguitch Lake Fire Department is just four years old but under Etter’s leadership and through community support they have already ac-
quired a substantial amount of equipment. Etter noted that while Panguitch Lake only has 29 permanent year-round residents, that in summer months the population goes up to over 1,000, and can rise to 3,000 with visitors over major holidays, contributing to a need for local responders. “Four years ago we two military pickups and that was it,” says Etter. “Now we have two major engines, a brush truck, an ambulance, a snowplow. We can get to any location up here 20 minutes before another department, our EMTs can manage a situation or help get people stabilized before other support arrives.” In addition to the FEMA grant, Etter has also recently obtained an additional $60,000 grant from USDA's Rural Development Agency to outfit their trucks. —Insider

Organizers selected the location because of its stunning views of the rock formations and its capacity to accommodate 2,000 guests. “Iconic music deserves an iconic location,” said Lance Syrett, general manager of Ruby’s Inn. “It will definitely be a cultural experience to hear the music while watching the sun set on Powell Point and the Escalante Mountains.”

Feds Plan for Climate Change Impact at Zion, All Nat'l. Parks
SALT LAKE CITY - The U.S. National Park Service says it's making plans to prepare and react to the effects of climate change at Zion National Park, and in all national parks. Nicholas Fisichelli, an ecologist for the National Park Service, co-authored a recent study that shows that Zion, and the majority of national parks, are getting warmer. "Two-hundred-35 out of 289 parks have recent temperatures that are warmer than 95 percent of the range of average temperatures experienced since 1901," he points out. Fisichelli says research
shows that human-caused pollution is a main cause of climate change, and cites the federal government's National Climate Assessment released earlier this year. It concludes that as temperatures continue to rise, droughts in the West will be longer, prompting drier conditions that will cause more major wildfires. Fisichelli says the National Park Service can't change the reality of climate change, but it can do its best to prepare for the changes that park visitors and wildlife will face.
"Climate change is likely to increase the risk of more major wildfires at Zion and Canyonlands, and other national parks in Utah," he points out. "It also may invite more invasive species and means greater struggles for existing wildlife." As an example, Fisichelli says warmer summer temperatures may mean an earlier visitor season at some parks, or a later season, if the summers become too hot to attract people at times when being outdoors is uncomfortable. —Troy Wilde, Utah News Connection

By Cynthia Kimball Davis So I had an opportunity to interview a man who, I believe, has earned a Ph.D. in life. Some call a Ph.D., “Piled higher and deeper.” Yet, in the academic world, according to Education Portal (2014), “Ph.D. stands for Doctor of Philosophy. A Ph.D. is the terminal degree for many subjects in the United States… Ph.D. programs are offered in many different subjects areas, such as history, English, engineering, philosophy and economics… Most students earn their Ph.D. because they'd like to dedicate themselves not just to the lifelong study of a subject, but because they'd like to teach others this subject as well.” This is the kind of Ph.D. I have earned, a doctorate in education actually. Yet, I am a doctor of education, not philosophy. It can be confusing. Just know, though, that I believe it is more important to earn a Ph.D. in life experience. To me, earning an academic Ph.D., is a human being having a spiritual experience route. And there is nothing wrong with it. Many choose this route as a profession, even like I have. Yet, there are many of you, just like this one man I interviewed, who has a high school education, yet through his life experiences, he has earned a Ph.D. To me, and knowing this person, he is a spiritual being with a human perspective and thus has earned Ph.D. in Life credentials. Thus, I wanted to pick his brain to share the wisdom he has learned along the way. He actually embodies the Ralph Waldo Emerson quote, “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail,” (BrainyQuotes, 2014). So, here goes. Take notes. CYNTHIA KIMBALL DAVIS (CKD): So tell me about advice you wished you’d known that could have helped you make better choices and that may very well help our readership with choices they may make. Ph.D. in Life Experience (Ph.D.): I have observed that even the most professional people in every occupation or leadership continually make mistakes and learn as they go.
An Interview with a Ph.D. in Life Experience: His Wisdom
CKD: So what advice would you give them? Ph.D.: Keep going because your experiences are what make you better at what you do. CKD: So what got you through tough times? Ph.D.: Recognizing that in order for me to become all that I can I’ve learned that making mistakes is just part of life and if I learn from those mistakes I’m a better person. CKD: Anything else that got you through tough times? Ph.D.: A lot of sincere heartfelt prayer. CKD: I understand that you are a very creative person. How did you first know that you were creative and then once you did know, how did you nourish that creativity? Ph.D.: I actually became interested by admiring the talents of others and wanting to be like them. I wasn’t afraid to try because I already recognized that at times I might fail, but I would keep trying anyway. I learned through experience that I generally would become good enough (for myself) at everything I tried. Eventually other people helped me recognize I had talents that many people enjoyed. CKD: What was your selftalk like during those times? Can you give an example? Ph.D.: Yeah, I can. The things I became very good at were not only very fulfilling for me, but I recognized that I was having an effect on other people in positive ways and that became a motivating factor for me. Doing something I enjoy and helping others is a win-win situation. CKD: That is great. I am already inspired by you just from this interview so far. What, though, might have been a line or word you would say to yourself to keep going? Ph.D.: I read a book once
called, Failing Forward, which was very similar to Thomas Edison’s quote, “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” So if I were to say anything I would say, “Keep failing forward, the right answer is just around the corner.” CKD: That’s great. Thank you. What about your purpose in life, what would you say it is? Ph.D.: My purpose in this life is to influence others for good, to teach integrity and loyalty and to live my life in such a way that when this life is over, I will have been true to improving myself and loving people unconditionally. CKD: That’s nice. Thank you. One last question, since loyalty is typically associated with “company loyalty” or “man’s best friend kind-of loyalty,” why is it important to you? Ph.D.: In a nutshell, for the bible person, Matthew 6:24 comes to mind, “No man can serve two masters for he will either hate the one and love the other or else he will hold to the one and despise the other.” For the life learners, an Aaron Tippin song comes to mind, “You’ve got to stand for something or you will fall for anything.” CKD: Very good. Anything else? Ph.D.: For me, I have been blessed with many failures. They have taught me that I am loved by my family, my friends, and some who I did not know were my friends, but most importantly, I have found that there is a more calming and reassuring peace from a man who has felt more hurt, pain and failure than I can ever imagine and that I am never alone.

When I go to casinos, the most ridiculous sign I see is the one that says: "If you have a gambling problem, call 1-800-GAMBLER." I thought about it for a moment and dialed the number. When they answered I said, "I have an ace and a six. The dealer has a seven. What do I do?"
We took the family to one of those restaurants where the walls are plastered with movie memorabilia. I went off to see the hostess about reserving a table. When I returned, I found my 10-year-old granddaughter staring at a poster of Superman standing in a phone booth. She looked puzzled. "She doesn't know who Superman is?" I asked my husband. "Worse," he replied. "She doesn't know what a phone booth is."

My daughter and I went through the McDonald's takeout window and I gave the clerk a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her a quarter. She said, "You gave me too much money." I said, "Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar bill back." She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request. I did so, and he handed me back the quarter, and said "We're sorry but they could not do that kind of thing." The clerk then proceeded to give me back $1 and 75 cents in change. Do not confuse the clerks at Mickie-D's. Or do. Who knows, you might get lucky.
I was shopping in a pet store when I overheard a woman singing the praises of a particular water bowl to her husband. "Look, it even has a water filter!" she concluded, holding the doggie dish out for her husband's inspection. He had a slightly different take on things: "Dear, he drinks out of the toilet."

distribute your share of the assets to your own children or to other beneficiaries you have selected. Blended family estate planning does require extra planning and more thought and effort. However, when accomplished the completed estate plan provides peace of mind, knowing that you have provided for both your spouse or companion as well as the children you love. Jeffery J.

Estate Planning for Blended Families changes the ownership of her bank accounts to be jointly owned with H2. Then she dies. The house and bank accounts suddenly belong to H2. W’s children likely get nothing. The same result can happen if people in second marriages prepare estate planning documents that leave all to their new spouse with no provision for the children. If the new spouse inherits everything, the deceased spouse’s children often never inherit the assets. Careful estate planning can provide peace of mind and valid solutions for blended families. Sometimes it is wise to accompany estate planning documents with a carefully-drafted marital agreement, which makes it more difficult for your spouse to contest corresponding provisions that you set forth in your will or trust. Here are some common characteristics of good estate plans that can resolve estate issues and protect your intended beneficiaries: Use of Well-Prepared Trusts. A trust allows you to have significant flexibility and control over the disposition of your assets when you die or become incapacitated. Good estate planning can allow your spouse or partner to be cared for until his or her death, with assets (including your half interest in your personal residence) retained in a sub-trust for the benefit of your spouse (with your spouse having as little or as much control over the assets as you desire), then upon your spouse’s death, having your trustee

When a patient was wheeled into our emergency room, I was the nurse on duty. "On a scale of zero to ten," I asked her, "with zero representing no pain and ten representing excruciating pain, what would you say your pain level is now?" She shook her head. "Oh, I don't know. I'm not good with math."
Wills, Trusts, and More
In a "traditional" estate plan, each spouse provides for his or her assets to pass to the surviving spouse, with the understanding that the assets will go to the children at the surviving spouse's death. This may work well when the spouses have only been married to each other, but it can spell disaster if your family is one of the many blended families of today. For couples with children from prior marriages, a better approach is to sort out what's "yours, mine, and ours" and plan accordingly so neither your spouse nor your children are unintentionally disinherited. Most people want to take care of their spouse or life partner. This means that if you die first, you want your spouse to be able to continue living in the house, to continue driving the car and continue to have access to the bank accounts. But the majority of people also want their own children or other loved ones to inherit something. Many people do not realize how easy it is to accidentally disinherit loved ones. Children can be inadvertently disinherited by the use of joint tenancy deeds on real estate (or joint ownership of bank accounts). Here is a common example: Husband ("H") and Wife ("W") have two children. H dies. W remarries Second Husband ("H2"). W wants to show her love and commitment to H2, so she retitles the house into her and H2's name as joint tenants with right of survivorship. She also

obituaries Georgia Joan "Jo" Johnson Smith
KANAB - Georgia Joan “Jo” Johnson Smith passed away peacefully on July 15 after a brief illness. She is survived by daughters Michele Ann Smith-Davis and her husband Willie; Denise Jo “Tye” Smith, and son Eric Deveroux Smith and his wife Karin. She was preceded in death by her dear husband Thayne Clark Smith and son Kurtis Fredric Smith. Jo was welcomed into this life on June 2, 1927 in Flagstaff Arizona to Fredrick Johnson, a National Park Ranger from Kanab, Utah and Georgia Johanna Ott, a Dallas Belle. At two she lost her father to an accident in the line of duty in the Grand Canyon. She remained an only-child. Her mother raised her in both Kanab and Dallas, Texas. At 6 she settled in Kanab, Utah after Dellos “Del” Averett married her mother. She attended socials and dances throughout the remaining school years and played the saxophone in the school band. Her early employment included waiting tables for movie stars in Kanab, there to film westerns in the surrounding colorful country. Her mother opened a café with relatives where she, at 11, met her future husband. Thayne washed dishes there at 14 for 10 cents an hour. The war years were difficult for her. She graduated from high school in 1945. She watched as most of her male classmates were drafted into service. After graduation, she attended the University of Utah for two years. She and Thayne eloped on April 4, 1947 to marry in Elko, Nevada. They were together ever after. Their close marriage became eternal when they were sealed for time and all eternity in the Frankfurt Germany Temple in 1997. After leaving Salt Lake City, the two taught school in a one-room-school house in Hatch, Utah and later moved to Price. They moved to Los Angeles in 1952. Jo was a full-time mother and mixed in some Avon calling. Later, she worked at the school cafeteria and for Federal Census Bureau. She concluded her working life in Kanab with Zions Bank. In 1975, they moved to Kanab to care for aging relatives. We will remember her most for her politeness, kindness and friendliness. She manifested these traits with her service to others; first to her own children and aged mother and aunts, years as girl scout and cub scout leader, and thousands of hours working with the Women’s Club, the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers, the Library Council, the Heritage Council and the American Legion Auxiliary. She was always modest but her efforts have contributed much to Kanab. She was so grateful for the success she had in protecting the old Kanab library building from demolition. She was also proud of her instrumental contribution to the avenue of American flags at the Kanab City Cemetery. In spite of a her fear of flying, she and Thayne visited nearly 80 countries on 6 continents. She loved to see other cultures and learn to appreciate people from everywhere. She communicated with everyone everywhere. Her demeanor was disarming, inviting and warming. Language was not a barrier. She found a way to connect with people. Jo was a proud mother and grandmother and facilitated annual family gatherings. She kept us reminded of the Golden Rule, clearly in word, but overwhelmingly in deed. She and Thayne were inseparable in life and now once again they are together. We would have liked to have had her with us longer, but for her, Thayne was always the most fun. She said that is why she married him. We are glad you are with him now and be able to get to know your own Father. You have waited long enough. We love you. We will say good bye, for now, to her at the LDS Chapel at 550 S 100 East in Kanab, Utah at 2 PM on July 19. Before the service, there will be a viewing from 12:30 to 1:45 at the same chapel.

Old Lady Softball In the dwindling evening sunlight the well-manicured baseball diamond and outfield were so finely clipped you could swear it had just won a much coveted gift certificate from Sheri’s Hair Design in Torrey. It is in this special spot in Wayne County that something very serious takes place every Thursday night from late May until the last week in July. A place where husbands, children, neighbors and friends come to learn respect for the hard charging Wayne County women we are so grateful to have in our lives. For three hours, give or take an hour, it is a Woman’s World. It is a place where sitting in a neat line of Cabela's canvas chairs, guys like Donald Woolsey and the rest of us males know to maintain a strict regimen of silence and often share a roll of duct tape in case someone even thinks to get out of line. A place so sacrosanct that if you are any sort of man you know better than to offer any sideline coaching advice, because to do so might make you a steer, if you know what I mean. It isn’t a field of dreams in some cornfield in Iowa where old baseball heroes are reincarnated and nightly jog out of rows of corn to come out to play a little ball under the light of a full moon. And according to Dicky Pace it was once Tidy Tolliver’s home place in Lyman, now a true Wayne County jewel and a much appreciated, well maintained and county wide used town park. As a July Wayne County sun sinks in the western sky with the sound of John Deere, New Holland tractors and Mac Don swathers busy working in the background, slowly the Lady ball players from through out Wayne County, with heavy equipment bags slung over their shoulders looking like soldiers boarding a ship with their duffle bags make their way from their shiny Jorgenson Ford cars and dirty Dodge pickup trucks with their kids and husbands in tow. With a thud like a sack of potatoes hitting the ground, heavy-duty zippers slide open Nike bags exposing hand-medown leather gloves and bats with deep battle scars from a thousand wars. Scratches and
scrapes so intense that individually they all possess a unique baseball story all their own, gashes and dents so large that Johnson & Johnson doesn’t make a band-aid big enough to repair the damage or provide much comfort. Soon balls are flying back and forth like yellow grapefruits as the women of Wayne County start their pre-game warm up session, a ball whizzes by my head as I try to take a picture with my camera, making me and my State Farm insurance agent wish I had thought to bring along my motorcycle helmet for protection. Another swift throw of a ball strikes me square in the shin and I finally get the point that the girls would really rather practice in private. In an attempt to escape any further bodily injury for a Wayne County fair photo, limping and dragging my left leg like a log, I scampered back over to where Donald is sitting in his canvas Cabela's chair in the relative safety zone. Wincing, I then struck up a conversation with Layne Jones about fencing materials and crooked property lines as I frantically searched my camera bag for a bottle of Ibuprophen that I keep in there for just such award-winning photo attempts. Not like any boys baseball game I have ever been to, but as the girls began to take to the dugout I caught a distinctive whiff of imported French perfume and locally available Scentsy products, an angel like scent that didn’t match the devilish and determined look on any of the lady 'Diamond

Divas', or any of the other lady baseball player's faces. The Thursday night Women’s event reminds me how special my lady friends are, ladies like Marsha Jensen, Tanya Taylor, Monica Brian, Paula Pace, Sheri Clark and Nycole Durfey of whom always have a knack to make me feel good and melt my heart by just smiling at me in a way that no one else does. Well that is not totally true either as I can go to see Mary at the Bicknell Post Office, the girls at the Bank in Loa, the always smiling girls at Royals Foodtown, Nadallee and the wonderful Cafeteria Staff at Wayne High, the employees at District office, Jenipher Batty at the Wayne Middle school, Faun at the library, Helen and Tasha at Harry’s, Berneal Hatch, Coral Brinkerhoff, Tawny Nelson, Colleen Allen and Michelle Williams or just about everyone that works at the court house etc. etc. and get that same “you are special” Wayne County feeling. Not something that I feel that is exclusively saved for the likes of me, but a feeling that is generally shared among the good and deserving Wayne County folks that make living where we do so special. As a recap of the “Old Ladies Baseball” Thursday night game, (a discreet title that I only dare repeat or utter underneath my breath from a ultra secret location somewhere in the remote mountains of central Utah between Sigurd, and Hanksville), the Thursday night girls baseball game between the Diamond
Divas and the upper County Wild Roses went something like this. In a scoring frenzy not seen since Porter Ellett of Loa played baseball for Wayne High, or even before the Lyman field lights decided it was dark enough to hum and turn on, the cunning up county Wild Roses posted an intimidating 9 to 0 first inning score to start off the game. It wasn’t until the third inning that the huddled and determined down county Diamond Divas decided it was time to turn their hats inside out and put on their rally caps, a remarkable and magnificent move made by their Captain. With an emergency infusion of Powerade from Harry’s in Loa and hand made chocolates from Castle Rock candies in Torrey that resulted in an exciting third inning run, a scoring bonanza that had me and Donald Woolsey wishing that between us we had brought a spare pair of ultra exorbitant Depends to the game. By the time the battle between the up county Wild Roses and the down county Diamond Divas was over the score was 17 to 14 in favor of the Wayne County Wild Flowers from up county. But in the style of the finest Women around, there were hugs and heart felt apologies for beating the pants off their opponents, a show of sportsmanship that as citizens of Wayne County we can all learn from, much like the life lessons that Kerry Anderson taught many of us all during his long tenure as “THE” wrestling coach at Wayne High.

FYI Panguitch
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com If you didn’t get involved this last weekend with all that went on, you probably reside out at the cemetery. What a fun weekend with so much going on! Starting with the Fiddlers on Thursday night to a big crowd they were back at full force and so great with their music. Many of the Fiddlers spend the week here and really enjoy their friendship with each other. Friday night a Taste of Panguitch was such a success that they ran out of food by 6:15. The Fiddlers entertained after the dinner for another two hours and I got in for the last hour and I so enjoy their music. The highlight was Cheryl Church singing Rocky Top and Sonny Boy. The grand finale Orange Blossom Special had every one of the players taking part and they got everyone on their feet rocking with the music and giving them a standing ovation. This being Panguitch's Sesquicentennial birthday, Pat gave the entertainers one of the "150 Years" pins as a souvenir and a thank you for the joy they bring to Panguitch. Friday night’s crowd was by far the biggest that I have seen in the 16 years that they have been coming here. Some folks left, but in the last half hour more came in and the Social Hall was filled. Saturday morning the Lions Club breakfast got off to a slow start but got all those who slept in and ended up feeding a lot of folks, including over thirty of the Fiddlers. This will be the last of the Lions breakfasts for the summer. We had some bike riders stop by for breakfast, they started their ride from Virginia and
had traveled 2200 miles to get here. Their goal is to go to San Francisco another two weeks away. There are 23 of these riders and they all were in good health. They rode 60 to 80 miles every day and really had a great time riding and enjoying the scenery in our area. They had a van that rides on ahead to locate camping and prepare the dinner. They said that the Lions Breakfast was the best food they had since the start of their ride. They asked if we could follow along, it would make their trip a lot better. However the Lions have been asked to serve breakfast at the Tour of Utah road race in early August (I believe it is the 3rd) and the breakfast will be open to all. Shawn Caine interviewed the bikers also and this is her take on them and their activity. At the Fiddle’s Lions Club breakfast last week, we had some bikers (Bike the US for MS) stop by for breakfast. Edward Osna, Christopher Huffman, and Jessica Harwood, shared stories and experiences about their journey and explained they were riding to bring awareness to multiple sclerosis. They started their trek in Yorktown, Virginia, rode through Panguitch, and on their way to San Francisco, California. This was a 2 month cross country bike trip, averaging 70 miles per day. The ride was 3,785 miles. All riders are volunteers (24 on this ride) that bring awareness for multiple sclerosis research & volunteers for patients. These tours follow America's most traveled cross-country routes and combine an important cause with an incredible ex-

One event that slipped through unnoticed was the Desperado Duo bike ride (it is not a race). The ride leaves Panguitch at 7:00 and there seemed to be at least two riders that started the ride. It consists of two loops of eighty miles. They go out highway 12 and turn at the Bryce Canyon junction and go north to Antimony and back to “89” and Panguitch for lunch. Then for the hardy souls it’s off up 143 to Cedar Breaks and around to Todds Junction and back “89” to Panguitch. I saw a group of 8 riders at about 4:00 heading back to the fair grounds and they still had a lot of steam and were moving right along. This is a really big event and has been going on for more than ten years and not many in town know that it is going on, they need more publicity. Tammi Bennett’s FCCLA gang came back with all kinds of awards from Nationals in San AntonioTexas. They competed against over 5500 other student from all over the country and came away with 1 Gold Medal, 8 Silver Medals and 1 Bronze. I believe with all of these medals the FCCLA world knows were Panguitch is. Tammi will have a full article and pictures in next week’s paper. Today is Pioneer Day and there is a lot of excitement in town. As usual it is the biggest event of the year in Panguitch, hopefully you got your float done and didn’t have to stay up all night working on it. Hopefully I’ll have my truck ready to go to get rid of a lot of candy. This fun day starts off with the Scouts Breakfast at the Bank, followed by the Parade and the Fire Fighters deep pit barbecue at the Fair Grounds. This year the Main Street Committee is going to have some fun events at the Social Hall, Bingo, Karaoke and a movie, so put it on
your schedule and join in the fun, it starts at 6:00. A highlight of the day at 2:00 pm at the city park is a sesquicentennial event. Since Panguitch is well known for its historic brick homes, Lori Talbot, City manager, has been working on a Panguitch brick memento—they are free and you can make your own or get one already made. Bob Burton made to mold. Along with the Birthday Bricks that will be sesquicentennial t-shirts and pins for sale. The supply is limited. The Lions will also have hats and ball caps on sale there also. Know matter what the people of Utah think, Pioneer Day is not a National Holiday, so the post office is open, come and get your copy of The Insider. Last week I went up to the dump or green bins to get rid of some trash, I was appalled by what I saw. Litter all the way up pigweed hill and the green bin was strewn with junk, there was junk also all over the ground, mattresses, junk hanging over the sides of the bins, a washing machine and just out and out filth. Folks, Panguitch has a dump that in summer is opened for the big items, (call the City @ 676-8585 for times). People have nice homes on the hill and to have trash all over the place isn’t fair to them, put a lid on your container, use a little consideration. It is wonderful to see so many of the motels with No Vacancy signs up and the businesses doing so well, thanks to those who make these events possible they are great for the economy of the Town. The County Fair and the Demolition Derby is up next. The Fair has all kinds of events and the Commissioners free burger cook out, hosted by the Panguitch Lions Club is part of the fun. At the end of August is the ATV Rally, last year's Rally had over 200 signed up and this year they have over 30 riders signed up than they had last year. This rally is so good that I would think once you get them here they will come back year after year. See you at the Parade! Mack Oetting

Hope Dalton Robertson ST. GEORGE - Hope Evans Dalton Robertson, age 90, passed away peacefully on July 19, 2014 in St. George, Utah with her family by her side. She was born on February 18, 1924 in Hatch, Utah to David Hyrum “Hy” and Mayall Henry Evans, the baby of their 12 children. Her mother named her Hope because she hoped she was the last one! She married Grant Dalton on September 1, 1939 in Hatch, Utah, and was later sealed to him in the St. George LDS Temple. Grant preceded her in death on October 13, 1987. She later married Gerald Robertson. He preceded her in death on August 19, 2013. Hope met Grant when he was in the CCC camp in Bryce Canyon, Utah. He was the love of her life, and she married him at the age of 15. They were married in a double wedding with her sister Gai, whom she was always close to her whole life. Hope was an active member of the LDS Church, and her family was her greatest treasure. She always had an open door to anyone and everyone, and said her house wasn’t just a house, it was a home. She loved to talk and visit with people regardless of who they were or where they were from, and never met a stranger. She was very outgoing and friendly. Hope enjoyed giving to others. She would find out what family and friends liked, then go to swap meets and stores and if she saw something for them she would buy it. She loved Christmas time, with the many family visiting and being able to give the treasures she had found to friends and others. She enjoyed taking extended family into her home to stay during the summer months, and her home was always full at deer-hunting time. Hope spent her life serving her family and others. She taught her children to be open and honest, to be friendly with others, and to love life. She will be greatly missed. Survivors include her children Fawn (Pete) Childers of Apache Junction, Utah, Shan (Gilbert) Clark of Kanab, Utah, G. Bruce (Bonnie) Dalton of Panguitch, Utah, Dennis Jay (Barbara) Dalton of Hatch, and Pam (Wayne) Stubbs of Parowan, Utah; sister Gai (Ed) Moore of St. George, Utah; and numerous grand- and great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, two husbands, and 10 brothers and sisters. Funeral services will be held Friday, July 25, 2014 at 1:00 PM in the Hatch Utah LDS Church, with viewing from 11:0012:30 PM. Burial will be in the Hatch Cemetery. Services were arranged with Mosdell Mortuary of Kanab. The family wish to thank the many caregivers who took care of mom in her last years, including the Meadows Assisted Living center in St. George; Tracy and Vance at Applegate Home Health; Pauline, Derek and staff at Dixie Hospice Care; and especially Dr. Tyler Haberle, who went far beyond his paid duties to show love and care to our mother in her passing. Thank you all so much for everything!

by Vicki D. Syrett 679-8687 or vickidiane36@hotmail.com Angela Steele says: We want to do a huge shout-out to all who came and supported our Fun Run! We are so excited that we raised enough money that we will be able to offer 20+ scholarships to our local kids to attend the enrichment classes offered at the music camp, along with helping with scholarships to those attending the camp as a music student! Our goal this year is to help bring the amazing Music Camp to our local kids, not just those doing violin or cello. The camp offers a wide range of classes that are not normally an option in our area. Next Spring we will be letting you know how your kids can apply for the enrichment scholarships. The arts are vital! Keep on running and playing-we will see you next year. The farewell for Jordan Johnson was packed with friends and family who came out to support her. Her grandfather, Dennis Johnson was one of the speakers along with Jordan herself and an aunt from Las Vegas, Anne. It was a very nice meeting and Jordan will enter the MTC in Mexico City and from their will go to her mission in Houston South Texas. Jordan is the daughter of Carlon and Heather Johnson of Henrieville. Brennan Stewart spoke today in Tropic prior to entering the MTC on Wednesday to prepare for his mission in Macon Georgia. Speaking with him were Daniel Fagergren and his wife Amy. The Young Men and Young Women sang a
beautiful melody of songs for the meeting. Girls Camp was a huge success and on Tuesday they were all surprised with Elaine S. Dalton came to speak to them at camp. The Young Men were also brought up to attend this meeting. The girls say it didn't rain them out this week and they were kept busy running here and there doing all kinds of projects. A huge thank you goes out to Escalante Stake Pres. Klin Chynoweth and the Bishoprics of each ward in the Stake. Also to the Stake Presidency for Young Women, Crystal Mortensen-President, Merrilee Mecham, Shantel Manning and Cassie Chynoweth and their Stake Camp Directors Teresa Thompson, Amy Syrett, and Jennifer Christensen. You all did a superb job and all the other people who worked to make this a success. Also to the cooks of the wonderful meals: Donna Chynoweth, Jill Phillips, and Cherrie Tebbs. What a wonderful week it was for all the girls and thanks so much for all of your hard work putting this together. Released as Primary Instructors were Sierra Syrett, Brady Syrett and Brittney Henrie. T.W. Carr was released as Asst. Scout Master as he has moved to Cedar City. Called to fill these positions were Sara Syrett, Jennifer Bybee, Steve and Wendi Hill as Primary Instructors. As new Gospel Doctrine Teachers were Kay Shakespear and
Shauna Talbot. Joey Shakespeare was called to work with the 11 year old scouts and Brady Syrett is the new Assistant Scout Master. Congratulations to everyone. Elisabeth Ahlsstrom, daughter of Mike and Lesa Ahlstrom has earned her Young Woman Recognition Award. This award is equivalent to the boys Eagle Scout award. Great job Elisabeth on reaching this goal. Ron Nez, son of Ron and Christine Nez has graduated from Primary and is now a Deacon in the Tropic Ward. Congratulations to Travis and Erica Shakespear on the birth of their adorable little boy, Brig Oli. He was born on the 14th of July and weighed in at 7 lbs. 7 ozs. He was 21 inches tall. Grandparents are Lyllian Le Fevre of Henrieville and Eric and Sherrie Woolsey of Escalante. Lyllian Le Fevre, Greg and Paula Shakespear, Lesa Lyman, Steve & Vicki Koons and their families all went down to HOT St. George to attend the Homecoming of Shayna Henrie who returned from serving a mission in Buenos Aries Argentina.

They always have such a good visit when they get together. Ernie and Wynona Henderson went up to Salt Lake to the Veteran's Hospital for Ernie's appointment. On the second visit they found a few things wrong with him and he was in the hospital for three days. They have done some tests and they will find out in a few days just what is wrong with Ernie. We wish him well and hope it is nothing serious. While they are up there they are staying with daughter, Dorsie Denny. A trip further north brought them to the home of Doyle and Joan Jackson in Harrisville. They visited with them for awhile. It was a big birthday bash during this visit. It was Ernie's 79th birthday and also the birthday of Dorsie Denney and Lynn Granger, two of the Henderson's daughters. The party was hosted by Trisha Dixon and they had a wonderful dinner and enjoyed the celebration. Zoe and Ernest Maes who are serving a mission in Guatemala called and wished Ernie a Happy Birthday. It was a very nice surprise for him. Congratulations to Steve and Sheila Neilson on their marriage this last Saturday. We wish them a very happy
life together. Sheila is the daughter of Kathy Goulding and the late Steve Goulding and Steve is the son of the Doyle Neilsons. The 26th of July will be the big celebration for Pioneer Day.

On Saturday evening the Fiddler's held their Annual Fest of great music and fun times with a Dutch Oven dinner held before. It was a very successful evening.
Attention Bryce Valley Class of 1964. Your class reunion is slated to be held on 25 July. Do you ever look in the mirror and wonder who the heck that is looking back at you? Who is that old person and what happened to the younger one of her? Well it does happen and you just have to laugh about it or you will cry. Getting old is definitely not my favorite pastime but it beats the alternative. However it was still a good day on Friday. Ruth Baugh, Baugh family Renunion, and Kay Shakespears travels will all come next week. It was too late to call when I finally remembered I had to call. A reminder of the Addiction Recovery Program (arp) that is held on each Thursday evening at 7:00 P.M. in the Tropic Ward Relief Society Room. It is a twelve step program designed to help you with any addiction you might have and attendance and discussions are strictly confidential. You may find that you are not the only one suffering from some addiction and can be helped along the way. You can gain some strength from others who are struggling with the same kind of addiction. Have a great week and hope to see you out to the celebration on Saturday at the town park in Tropic. Thanks for your news. VS

Practical Money Matters
Don't Let Back to School Tasks Sneak up on You Parents, if this is your first time at the back-to-school rodeo, let me share a few lessons my wife and I have learned the hard way. Chances are you'll be spending the next few weeks filling out piles of pre-enrollment paperwork, lining up carpools and, of course, taking the dreaded shopping excursions for clothes and school supplies. If you're a first-timer or simply need a back-to-school refresher course, here are a few suggestions that can help you save time, money and sanity: Get organized. Maintain a correspondence file from your kid's school for things like registration requirements, report cards, permission slips, required vaccinations, school policies, teacher and parent contact information, etc. Ask whether the school has a website, online calendar or email list you can join. Also, create a family master calendar. Back-to-school shopping. Between new clothes, classroom supplies and extracurricular activity fees and equipment, many parents end up spending hundreds of dollars per child. Ideally, you've been setting money aside all year. If not, you'll need to determine what you can afford to spend without blowing your overall budget. Here are a few organizational and money-saving tips: • Before you shop, make a comprehensive list for each child. Use previous years'

by Jason Alderman expenses as a guide and compare notes with other parents and school officials. Engage your kids in the budgeting process. Share how much money is available to spend and get them involved in prioritizing expenses between "needs" and "wants." Go through your kids' closets and have them try on everything. Make an inventory of items that fit and are in good shape, and take it when shopping so you don't accidentally buy duplicates. (While you're at it, share, sell or donate unneeded items.) Spread clothing purchases throughout the year so your kids don't outgrow everything at once. Many stores hold fall clearance sales to make room for holiday merchandise. Review the school's dress code so you don't waste money on inappropriate clothing. Although shopping online can save money, time and gas, don't forget to factor in shipping and return costs, which could undo any net savings. If your kids are old enough, put them in charge of online comparison shopping and coupon clipping. Ask which school supplies you're expected to buy. Go in with other families to take advantage of volume discounts and sales. Find out how much extracurricular activities (athlet-

ics, music, art, etc.) cost. Account for uniforms, membership dues, private lessons, field trips, snacks, etc. • Rent or buy used sporting equipment or musical instruments until you're sure they'll stick with an activity. • Know when to spend more for higher quality. Cheaper notebook paper shouldn't matter, but don't buy poorly made shoes that might hamper proper physical development. • Before buying new clothing or accessories, look for "gently used" items in the closets of your older kids and friends, at garage sales, thrift and consignment stores and online. • Clip newspaper and online coupons. Many stores will match competitors' prices even if their own items aren't on sale. Plus, many consolidation websites post downloadable coupons and sale codes for online retailers, including: CouponCabin.com, CouponCode.com, CouponCraze. com, DealHunting.com and Dealnews.com. • Mobile shopping apps let in-store smartphone and mobile browser users scan product barcodes and make on-the-spot price comparisons, read reviews, download coupons, buy products and more. • Follow your favorite retailers on Facebook and Twitter, where many post special savings for their followers. Bottom line: If you get organized before setting out on back-to-school shopping, you can save money, time and aggravation. Jason Alderman directs Visa's financial education programs.
