Three Grand Tour Winners Part of 128 Riders Announced for Tour of Utah 26 Countries Represented among All-Star Roster of Athletes August 4-10 SALT LAKE CITY - A stellar cast of 128 professional cyclists representing 26 countries will race 753 miles across Utah and Wyoming for the 2014 Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah. As the first internationally-sanctioned cycling competition in North America after July’s Tour de France, organizers for the 2014 Tour of Utah released the preliminary rosters for all 16 professional teams for the seven-day stage race, August 4-10. Teams are confirmed to bring 25 riders with racing experience from the three most recent Grand Tours of Europe (Tour de France, Giro d’Italia, Vuelta a España). Eight of these riders are currently competing at this month’s Tour de France. For the first time in Utah, the peloton will showcase three Grand Tour champions. American Chris Horner of the Italian-based Lampre-Merida squad returns to the Tour of Utah as the reigning Vuelta a España champion. Following his second place finish at the Tour of Utah last year, Horner

Wayne High School Celebrates 100 Year Anniversary WAYNE CO. - About the year 1910 the people of Wayne County began to consider seriously the possibility of establishing a high school. The State High School Inspector said a high school might be organized with fifty students, but that it would not be economical to maintain one for less than eighty. A survey of the communities indicated that the requirement for students could be met. The next question was the location of the school. People were divided on this issue. Those in the lower part of the county favored Thurber as a central location, while the people of Loa thought the school should be located there because the town was larger. In June 1913 the proposition of whether a high school should be established and where was submitted to a vote
of the people. The result of the voting showed that a majority of the people favored the establishing of a school in Thurber. Thurber school precinct had recently finished the construction of a rock building and offered this for use of the high school. It had two large rooms and one small one on the ground floor and an amusement hall on the upper floor with a stage along the south side. Anne Snow, Superintendent of Wayne District, went to Salt Lake City and hired two teachers. They were Horace H. Higgs and Bess L. Montgomery. School opened in the fall of 1913 with about thirty students. It did not receive support from all of the towns in the county as was expected. There was no free transportation at this time, so if students attendWayne High School Cont'd on page 2

GSENM to Host Forum on Soil Crust KANAB - What is biological soil crust and why is it important to the southern Utah/ northern Arizona rangelands? This is just one of many questions that will be posed to a panel of scientists from around the country during the Biological Soil Crust Forum being held at the Kanab City Library August 6, 2014 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The forum is being co-sponsored by the Bureau of Land Management’s Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and the National Park Service’s Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The public is invited to participate in this free event. Biological soil crust is a complex mosaic of living organisms—algae, cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), bacteria, lichens, mosses, liverworts, and fungi—that grow on or just below the soil surface. Crusts are common worldwide in arid and semi-arid shrub lands, grasslands and woodlands. “During our public scoping process and comment period for the Livestock Grazing Plan Amendment to the Monument Management Plan,
we heard that biological soil crust is a concern,” said Cindy Staszak, GSENM manager. “We knew we needed to get a better understanding of biological soil crusts and their

We are looking to this panel of experts to help us, our cooperating agencies, which include Kane and Garfield Counties, the State of Utah, and the other federal agencies, to learn more about biological soil crusts so we are able to make the best possible decisions about managing livestock grazing.” The forum will begin promptly at 9 a.m. on August 6 with a welcome from Staszak and introductions of the panel Soil Crust

From Toddler "Gangster" to Cover Girl Local Resident Looks Back on Career in Film, Modeling by Mariella Minton, Contributing Writer
ESCALANTE - Remember the Our Gang comedy series from the 1920s, later known as The Little Rascals? It may surprise you to know there is one last Our Gang member alive today, and she lives right here in Escalante. Her name is Ricki VanDusen—though in those days she was known by her birth name, Mildred Kornman. Being a Hollywood star as a toddler in one of the 20th century’s most successful and beloved short film/TV series would be remarkable enough as a claim to fame, but VanDusen may be even better known for her role as a superstar fashion model of the 1950s and ‘60s. Ms. VanDusen was born in 1925 to Gene Kornman, a famous Hollywood photographer who did all of the still photography for Twentieth Century Fox--including the photograph of Marilyn Monroe that Andy Warhol later used for his iconic print. Gene worked closely with Hal Roach, who produced the Our Gang comedy series. They were such good friends that Gene named his second daughter after Hal's wife, Mildred. A huge, chubby baby with rosy cheeks and a big smile, Ms. VanDusen was a perfect candidate for a role in Our Gang. She began her acting career at nine months old, and worked with the Gang until she was five. Her sister Mary, ten years her senior, played the original blonde in Our Gang. The money the two sisters made went to the family to help put food on the table. When VanDusen grew too old for a child’s role in Our Gang she took a few years off and lived the rough and tumble life of a southern California tom-boy, climbing trees and roller skating, which eventually lead to a broken arm. When she got a little older she worked as an extra on the

Hollywood sets. She brushed shoulders with some of the movie studios’ biggest stars-Bing Crosby, Stu Erwin, Paulette Goddard, Charlie Chaplin and many others. But more importantly, she made $5 per day and got a free lunch out of the deal. Sometimes, she said, she would even bring home food for her mother, who was Cover Girl

Subjects offered during the first two years were: English, German, algebra, history, physical geography, art, cooking, sewing, and animal husbandry. There was much enthusiasm at first. However, as the first year of school passed, many students dropped out for one cause or another so that by the time school closed, there were only thirteen girls left. For the first few years the condition was much the same. In the year 1915-16 Conrad Frischnecht was principal, followed the next year by Jesse J. Weight. Then Joseph Hickman, a resident of Wayne

Since Mr. Hickman understood conditions in the county and knew most of the people, he was able to stir up enthusiasm for the school and give it a boost. In April 1918, the first three high school students graduated from Wayne High School. They were Alfred R. Torgerson, Blanche Smith, and Nell Williams.

USFS Prohibits Use of Exploding Targets OGDEN - Regional Forester Nora Rasure today announced restrictions on the use of explosives and exploding targets on National Forests and Grasslands within the Intermountain Region of the Forest Service. “This closure order is necessary to protect the health and safety of users of the National Forest and Grasslands within the Intermountain Region,” said Regional Forester Rasure. Explosives and exploding targets are designed to explode when shot with a rifle; the resulting explosions have been known to cause wildfires when
conditions are right. The closure order includes National Forest System lands in the states of Utah, Nevada, Idaho, and Wyoming administered within the Intermountain Region as National Forests (NF), including: Ashley NF, Dixie NF, Fishlake NF, Manti-La Sal NF, UintaWasatch-Cache NF, Boise, NF, Caribou-Targhee NF, Payette NF, Salmon-Challis NF, Sawtooth NF, Bridger-Teton NF, and Humboldt-Toiyabe NF.

Tourism to Capitol Reef Creates $45 million in Economic Benefit
Report shows visitor spending supports 555 jobs in local economy TORREY - A new National Park Service (NPS) report shows that 663,670 recreational visitors to Capitol Reef National Park in 2013 spent $45,086,000 in communities near the park. That spending supported 555 jobs in the local area. “Capitol Reef National Park is proud to welcome visitors from across the country and around the world,” said superintendent Leah McGinnis. “We are delighted to share the story of this place and the experiences it provides and to use the park as a way to introduce our visitors to this part of the country and all that it offers. 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 big factor in our local economy as well. We appreciate the partnership and support of our neighbors and are glad to be able to give back by helping to sustain local communities.” 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 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 restaurants and bars (50,000 jobs) and lodging (38,000 jobs). To download the report visit http://www.nature.nps. gov/socialscience/economics. cfm The report includes information for visitor spending at individual parks and by state.

raising the girls on her own. When VanDusen was 17 she signed a contract with Fox and appeared in the films Dolly Sisters and Diamond Horseshoe, though she didn't have many lines. Then the war started and at age 20 she married a lieutenant and had two children. For many young women of the era marriage and children might have ended professional aspirations, but for VanDusen, her career was just about to take off. VanDusen had always been slender, and after having her first child, Stephen, she lost 35 pounds and moved to New York City to begin a modeling career under the name of Ricki VanDusen. She lived with her husband and her new baby in a small house on Long Island and made the trek into Manhattan on a regular basis. In 1948, when she was 22 years old, VanDusen got a call for a Vogue cover shoot with famed photographer Irving Penn. Penn had originally wanted someone else, VanDusen recalled. Knowing this didn't help her nerves any, but she said Penn was very kind and calming. The two of them worked together and the shoot came out well, resulting in VanDusen's first cover shot. From that instant her modeling career was launched.
She went on to do more covers for Vogue, getting paid $12.50 per hour. "It wasn't much money that's for sure," she said. A typical day, she said, started off with waking up early to get the kids ready, then taking the train into Manhattan, catching a cab or a bus from the station and having to find the studio, all while running around in high heels. "There were no limos, no hair and make-up crews ready and waiting for you once you got there," she remembered. "We did everything ourselves." "Moving to New York was the best thing that ever happened," she said. "The city was alive and exciting." She remembers sneaking off to Broadway whenever she could. "I saw My Fair Lady three times!" she said. "I wasn't a woman of the world," she explained, "I was a young, naive girl from Hollywood." Still, she was in high demand. She was on the cover of Glamour magazine. She
did international make-up ads for Revlon. She appeared on the covers of various Vogue publications, like Vogue Pattern Book and Vogue Knitting Book. She worked with famous photographers like Horst P. Horst and Diane Arbus. She even worked on a set choreographed by Salvador Dhali. "He was there with his mustache," she said casually. "Very eccentric, and very into the shoot." The photo was a surreal depiction, of course, with VanDusen appearing to be suspended in mid air, an optical illusion achieved with the help of clear lucite blocks. VanDusen looks back on her New York days fondly but admits, "The whole time I just wanted to be home with my children." The family moved back to California and Ms. VanDusen would periodically go to New York for six weeks at a time to do photo shoots. "Everyone was so nice and helpful and polite," she said. "They were like aunts
and uncles, they made me feel so comfortable, especially when I was young and starting out." VanDusen's modeling career was at its height in the 50s, a very different time she said. "It seems more, intense, now. Everything's more exposed." Ms. VanDusen moved to Escalante in 2006 to live with her son Stephen Hinsey, who works at Escalante Outfitters. She made the move because she was getting older, and it has turned out to be a peaceful place for her to end up after a life full of moving around. Also, she feels that moving to a small-town in Utah is a bit of a coincidence, as her mother was born and raised in Lehi. You’d never know it to look at her, but Ms. VanDusen just celebrated her 89th birthday, still tall and slender as ever, and still with stunningly bright blue eyes. “Sometimes I look at my old photographs and think, ‘Who is that?’”
Ricki VanDusen has an entire gallery of portrait photography from her days as a fashion model, including two Vogue covers, at right. Shown below is a recent photo of Ricki with her son, Steve Hinsey.

Wills, Trusts, and More Selecting a Fiduciary by Jeffery J. McKenna
When creating an estate plan, one of the first issues that you will need to consider is who will serve as the fiduciary (that is the trustee of a trust or personal representative of a will) of your estate once you are no longer willing or able to manage your estate on your own. This article discusses some of the key concerns that should be addressed when you select your fiduciary. For most people, the choice comes down to either a professional fiduciary or a trusted family member who is also a beneficiary of the estate. While a family member may be the best in many situations, consider the following questions to see if you really are comfortable with a family member as your fiduciary: • Does the family member have the expertise to handle the sometimes complex estates that must be administered for the benefit of all the beneficiaries? • How will selecting a family member affect that family member’s relationship with the other beneficiaries? • Will the family member be able to ignore the temptation to look out for their own interests at the expense of the interests of the other beneficiaries? The role of a fiduciary can be extremely daunting for an untrained person and often decisions will be made which may not be in the interest of the beneficiaries. For example, a family member who serves as a fiduciary is often entitled to compensation for his or her efforts. Paying this family member for his or her services, while not giving equal funds to another beneficiary, may lead
to feelings of unfair treatment because the selected family member will end up receiving more than his or her share of the estate. On the other hand, if the family member you select opts not to receive any compensation, this family member may begin to resent serving as the fiduciary because of the uncompensated time and effort the family member is giving. In either of these scenarios, relationships between the family member fiduciary and the other beneficiaries may be unnecessarily strained. In addition, the decisions that a fiduciary must make are often difficult decisions. For instance, a fiduciary often needs to decide when assets should be sold and for how much the assets should be sold. The factors to be considered can be very technical and a family member trustee who is also handling other responsibilities such as another full-time job may not be able to focus the attention or time necessary to make a good decision. Finally, a fiduciary has a duty to ensure that the estate is handled appropriately, including a duty to account for all assets, and can be liable to the beneficiaries if mistakes are made. Mistakes by a nonprofessional can be more costly than hiring a professional in the first place. A professional fiduciary can relieve family members from the stress and liability associated with serving as a fiduciary. Any number of individuals, such as a trust officer at a bank, a CPA, or an attorney can serve as your fiduciary. These individuals should be familiar with fiduciary relationships and the work necessary to meet
Attorney Jeff McKenna hiking with his son in Zion National Park
those fiduciary obligations. In addition, a professional fiduciary should be trained and experienced in the policies and procedures that are necessary to ensure that the estate is administered according to your wishes and according to the law. In sum, there will come a time when you will not be able to manage your estate. An experienced, professional fiduciary offers a variety of solutions, has received specific training, is objective in dealing with your beneficiaries and is duty bound to follow your wishes as closely as possible. Managing an estate is often a full-time job. A professional fiduciary can give your estate the attention it needs. Jeffery J.

New Waitress
A new and inexperienced waitress tells another waitress she is concerned about being able to carry the heavy trays and serve from them. The other waitress explains that tray stands are placed throughout the restaurant. The nervous beginner serves all her lunches successfully, and afterwards asks an elderly couple if everything has been all right. "It was fine, dear," replies the man, "but my wife and I have to leave now. Could she please have her walker back?"
Dog Baseball
My nephew trained his three weimaraners to play baseball. While visiting us, the family started playing a baseball game. The dogs were positioned at left, center and right fields. Whenever a batter hit the ball, one of the dogs would retrieve it, bring it to the pitcher and then return to the outfield. When it was my brother's turn at bat, he tried to swing hard but hit the ball only about 40 feet. Next time he approached home plate, all three dogs came into the infield and waited.

School Notes Decreased Fees for GCSD Students Parents, when you enroll your high school students for the 2014-2015 school year, you will notice substantial decreases in fees collected by the schools. This is due to changes the Garfield School Board made to fee schedules adopted in the June Board meeting. The fee schedules will be the same in all three high schools with substantial decreases in
several areas. The “sports participation” or more commonly known as the “play to play” was reduced from $50 per sport with no maximum to $25 per sport with a $75 per student maximum. The “cheerleading participation” fee was also decreased from $50 to $25. The School Board also removed the $25 “ednet fee” charged to enroll students in concurrent enrollment college classes. Students may still be
required to pay some costs to universities, but there will be no charges collected by the Garfield School District. I would like to thank the Board for reducing the fee schedules to allow more students to participate in extracurricular activities and allow more students to enroll in concurrent enrollment classes. The approved fee schedules for the 2014-2015 school year will be as follows:
Student Body ( Activity Card ) $ 30.00 Textbook Deposit ( 7th Grade or New Students Only ) $ 25.00 Locker $ 1.50 PE Locker ( 7th - 9th Grade Only ) $ 1.50 Shop Class $ 10.00 Art Class $ 10.00 Foods Class $ 10.00 Driver Ed. Enrolled Student $ 150.00 Driver Ed. Non Enrolled Student $ 250.00 Yearbook ( Optional ) $ 40.00 Sports Participation Fee ( Maximum $75.00 per Student) $ 25.00 Cheerleading Participation Fee $ 25.00 Class Change Fee $ 20.00 (For class changes made 2 weeks after the beginning of the quarter) AP Test Fee $ 40.00 Foreign Exchange Student Fee $3,200.00 Please also be aware, students may be eligible for fee waivers. If you are interested in inquiring about fee waivers, please visit with your local high school principal to see if your student qualifies. Elementary schools do not collect or assess any fees. In the future, I would like to continue to reduce the high school fees until the District collects no fees. —Superintendent Ben Dalton

Health Officials Recommend Avoiding Contact With Wild Animals ST. GEORGE - The Southwest Utah Public Health Department (SWUPHD) is reminding residents to use caution around wild or stray animals; especially if they appear sick, aggressive, or are easily approached. "If a wild animal is passive enough to let you get close, it's probably a good idea to back off and keep your distance," says Dr. David Blodgett, SWUPHD Health Officer. "Some animal species in our area can carry diseases such as rabies, tularemia, or plague. Human cases are rare, but the risk increases with close contact." Diseases found in local wild animal populations include the following: Rabies: a virus most often transmitted through the bite of an infected wild animal;
including bats, raccoons, foxes, and skunks. Medical care should not be delayed if there are any wound resulting from an animal attack. Plague: a bacterial disease infamous for killing million during the Middle Ages, potentially spread to humans from infected rodents (such as prairie dogs and squirrels) through fleas or by handling an infected animal. Prompt treatment with antibiotics is effective. Tularemia: a potentially serious illness from a bacteria found in rodents and rabbits; spread by handling infected carcasses, ingesting contaminated food or water, or bites from infected deer flies and other insects. Treated with antibiotics. Hantavirus: spread through contact with infected
rodents (especially the deer mouse in southern Utah) or their urine and droppings. Prevented by rodent control and safe clean-up practices. West Nile virus has also been detected in area mosquito populations. While most humans who are infected experience no symptoms, serious illness can result in some cases. Prevent mosquito bites by wearing repellent and longsleeved clothing, avoiding being outdoors during dusk and dawn hours, and emptying standing water on your property.

DeVar Pollock TROPIC - Raymond DeVar Pollock, 86, of Tropic Utah, peacefully passed away July 28, 2014, in Orem, with his family by his side. He was born May 25, 1928 in Tropic to William and Cecy Bybee Pollock. He graduated from Tropic High School in 1946. DeVar married the love of his life, Kathleen Clarke on May 26, 1949 in Las Vegas. They were sealed in the St. George Temple on April 11, 1969. They had three daughters: Shelley Pollock, of Provo; Kristine and Donald Henderson, of Las Vegas; and Linda, deceased, and Ron Sims, of Phoenix. He was a beloved grandpa to their eight grandchildren. After Kathleen’s death, he married Faye Palmer Ott on February 25, 1989. He was welcomed into the family by Faye’s four children: Marty and Ilene Ott, of Kanab; Gary and Carmen Ott, of Salt Lake; Kris and Dan Williams, of Beaver; and Kathy and Brent Chamberlin, of Kanab. Their 11 grandchildren and many great-grandchildren all who enjoyed the time they spent with him. DeVar had a love for work. In his youth he did odd jobs such as taking cows to pasture, herding sheep, and working in the timber. As he grew older he moved to Salt Lake City and worked construction. Finally he found work that allowed him to stretch and grow his talents choosing a career with the National Park Service where he spent 35 years working his way up the ladder to Chief of Maintenance. He served as Chief of Maintenance at Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks.

He treasured his relationships with his extended family and friends. DeVar was never one to brag on his accomplishments, however, one of the things he felt proud of was his part in the reconstruction of the Tropic cemetery where he spent many pleasant hours of work. DeVar was an avid outdoors man, loving to fish and hunt. His grandchildren know him as the best fisherman ever with a magic fishing pole. He is also survived by his sister, Vertis (Lester) Clarke, sisters-in-law, Ethel (LaMar) LeFevre, and Erma Clarke. The family would like to thank the owner and staff of Bel Aire Assisted Living in Orem for the kind loving care they provided him the last 15 months of his life.

FYI Panguitch
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Another busy week in Paradise. I was surprised at the really big turn out for the 24th parade, because it was Thursday and wasn’t it grand? So many floats and my favorite is the horses and so many of them. Good to see Carl Henrie and his wife Judy in their 23 T Bucket hot rod, I love that car! How about the float with all of our favorites: Prairie dogs, they really love Panguitch, much to our dismay! The always popular soaking by the Fire Fighters is really a hit by the kids. Over the years a band has been missing from the parade. This year the Blue Pine Motel came up with a marching band – that was fun and really classy! Finishing off the parade with a little excitement was Bob Orton’s big trucks, antique tractors, the fire department and the EMTs. The coaches were the Grand Marshals this year; next year we might include the teachers. There were lots of reunions and reunion floats that added great pleasure to the spectators. Glad to see all of those young women playing in the rhythm band, you are a treasure! I hope there will be many years of your entertaining the crowd. Many thanks to the float entries that helped make the 24th celebration a Sesquicentennial celebration as well. The Scouts started the day with their pancake breakfast and had so many folks that they ran out of some of the food items. After the parade was the DUP Program followed by the traditional Fire Fighters lunch down at the Fair building. Chief Dodds said that there was a good turn out and the deep pit meat was great as usually, this meal is a lot of work, but the town really appreciates it. Over at the pavilion there were a lot of races. Brick making was headed up by the City Manager Lori Talbot and boy were they popular and made great souvenirs of the Sesquicentennial celebration - birthday party that is go-
ing on all year long. Last week was also the Western States Little League championships. These teams come from all over the west, Hawaii, California, as well as Arizona, Nevada and Panguitch were there also. The City got the week started with a hamburger dinner for all of the teams. With the help of the Lions Club and the City Workers they were able to feed over 400 hunger ball players. Boy did the teams enjoy Panguitch. They were everywhere taking pictures, at the Gem Theater the teams were getting their pictures taking with the ice cream cones. Saturday when we left town they were there taking a picture with the Entrance signs. They really liked marching in the parade, one little player said that it was his first parade and he was really excited. The championship game was against two California teams, Elk Grove and Laguna. Both teams are from the Sacramento area and are cross town rivals. Elk Grove ended up the winner 15 to 5. This is the 9 year old World Series. Many thanks to Greg Excell and the City workers for making this event so successful. Next week is the start of the Tour of Utah and it starts on Monday in Cedar with a run down Highway 143 through Panguitch and back up 14 and back to Cedar. Tuesday is Panguitch’s big day and the start of the second leg, where they go out Highway 12 to the town of Torrie. This leg has a lot of climbing in it and is considered the toughest of all the legs in the race. The race has added another day and will be going into Wyoming. Check when the racers are coming through town on Monday, it is hard to believe you can go that fast ridding a bike. If you would like to volunteer for this fun event, call the Travel Bureau at the County Building. The Panguitch Lions have been
7 runners. With Mazie Miller and Melanie Dalton making great strides last years the girls are going to be solid for at least two more years. Last but not least the Volleyball season also starts soon and this could be the Lady Cats year, with almost all of the team coming back, they only lost one senior. The County Fair is coming up also in a couple of weeks, so get your exhibits ready. There will be many events going on and the Fair will finish off the week with the Lions Club Demolition Derby, get your cars ready guys. Fairs are a lot of fun and this one takes in the whole County including those out in the East side. Summer is a third over, take the kids out and enjoy the good weather while you can. The day light is getting shorter by an hour each month and there are still people out there that want to do away with day light saving time. If anything, keep it on year around, there would be a whole lot less depression because of the darkness. We don’t need to be just like Arizona, they don’t use day light saving there because it is so hot and they don’t have to use there air conditioners as much. Life is about having joy. Mack O.

asked to put on a breakfast on Tuesday morning and it will run from 7:30 to 9:30 and will be held next to the Snow Cone shack and KB’s gas station. Out at Ruby’s Inn two weeks ago they finished off the road that runs through Bryce Canyon City and Garfield County now it has it's first signal. So if your kids haven’t seen a signal, bring them on out and check it out. Curtis Barney and Tammi Bennett took some girls down to San Diego to play in a tournament and to see the sights. Both the JV and Varsity teams came in second, losing by only a few points. I believe this is an AAU team made up other players in the area. Boy do those girls make us proud and well thought of throughout the country. Can you believe that the ball season will be starting up in a couple of weeks? Starting with the three time champion baseball team. The team has lost ten All State players in the last two years, including two MVPs, but with Coach Clint Barney at the helm; don’t count the Cats out yet. Cross Country also starts up soon and the boys have lost the Norris twins and they will be hard to replace. The girls, the three time State Champs get back all but one of their top

Practical Money Matters
The Ins and Outs of 529 College SavingsPlans by Jason Alderman
For many people, their biggest expenses in life are funding retirement, buying a home and paying for their children's college education – or a portion of it, anyway. Setting aside money for these and other financial goals is difficult, especially when you're trying to save for them all simultaneously and from a young age. One of the more popular college savings vehicles is the 529 College Savings Plan. Every state and Washington, D.C. offers at least one 529 plan option, although most offer several. Key features include: • You make contributions using after-tax dollars; their investment earnings grow tax-free. • Withdrawals aren't taxed if they're used to pay for qualified higher-education expenses (e.g., tuition, room and board, fees, books, supplies and equipment). • If you withdraw the money for non-qualified expenses, you'll have to pay income tax and a 10 percent penalty tax on the earnings portion of the withdrawal – plus possible state penalties, depending on where you live. • Many states that have a state income tax give accountholders a full or partial tax deduction for contributions made to their own state's plan. Three states (Indiana, Utah and Vermont) also offer tax credits for contributions.
• Contributions to other state's plans generally are not tax-deductible in your home state; however, five states do offer tax breaks for investing in any state's plan (Arizona, Kansas, Maine, Missouri and Pennsylvania). • Each state's plan offers different investment options, both in investment style (age-based, risk-based, principal protection, managed or indexed funds, etc.) and in actual investment performance. • You can choose anyone as beneficiary – your child, other relative or friend. • If the original beneficiary decides not to attend college or gets a scholarship, you can reallocate the account to another of his or her family members at any time. • You can rollover funds to a different 529 plan or change investment strategies once a year. If you want to do more than one rollover within a 12-month period, you'll need to change the beneficiary in order to avoid taxes and penalties. (You can always change it back later.) • Contributions up to $14,000 a year, per recipient, are exempt from gift taxes ($28,000 for married couples). • You can also make a lumpsum contribution of up to $70,000 ($140,000/married couples) per beneficiary and

then average the contribution over a five-year period without triggering the gift tax – provided you make no other gifts to that beneficiary for the next five years. • These plans are treated as an asset of the account owner (vs. the student) when calculating the expected family contribution toward college costs, so they have a comparatively low impact on financial aid eligibility. Most financial experts recommend looking first at your own state's plan to see what tax advantages, if any, are offered to residents. They may be significant enough to offset lower fees or better fund performance in other states' plans. Carefully examine the fee structure. Common fees include those for opening an account, annual maintenance, administration costs, and most importantly, sales commissions if you're buying from a brokerage – which could be up to 5.75 percent of your contribution. Buying directly from the plan eliminates sales fees but puts the onus on you to research the best option for your needs. And finally, examine the investment performance of the funds, both when you enroll and periodically thereafter. Morningstar (www.morningstar.com), College Savings Plans Network (www.collegesavings.org) and FinAid (www.finaid.org) all have helpful comparison tools. Bottom line: The sooner you can start saving for college, the less your kids will have to rely on expensive loans. Jason Alderman directs Visa's financial education programs.
