8th Annual Women's RedRock Music Festival Ready to Rock Wayne County TORREY - As summer progresses and the desert monsoons wind their migration through Torrey, so does another annual event: the Women's RedRock Musical Festival. Hosted on the grounds of Robber’s Roost Bookstore, the outdoor festival expects upwards of 600 attendees. In its eighth year, the festival has a remarkable track record of introducing to its audiences incredible music by independent women musicians. The festival is committed to being inclusive in every aspect of its operation. The directors make sure that each decision made—from performers to vendors—demonstrates their dedication to creating a festival that is welcoming to everyone. This year’s lineup offers impressive diversity on so many levels. The countries of origin of the headliners is just one of those levels. Friday’s headliner offer festival goers a chance to hear a truly international sensation. Three sisters from Sweden make up the band Baskery: Greta on the six-string banjo and customized drums, Stella on upright bass, and Sunniva on guitar. They started out

With three released albums, they describe their music as Killbilly, mudcountry and banjo punk (think Dixie Chicks or The Roches). Although they’ve been offered record deals with major labels, the sisters say they’ve turned them down. One label wanted them to change who they are. Another wanted them to stay exactly the same, never making any changes. "We fol8th Annual WRMF Cont'd on page 2

TORREY - The first annual “Take the Stage" youth music workshops and concerts event was an amazing experience for youth, their parents, and the community. The event kicked off with a Friday noon picnic and concert by a group of talented young musicians from the Wasatch Music Coaching Academy. Next, workshop participants ages 18 and younger divided into small groups including vocals, strings, keyboard, drums, and
flute. Youth spent the afternoon learning new techniques and practicing with skilled music coaches from Wasatch Music Coaching Academy along with local violin instructor Lynsey Shelar and Wayne County’s new music school teacher Taylor Malmrose. Saturday was spent with group rehearsals. Local youth were teamed with young people from the SLC area as well as young musicians from California and Colorado. Many
participants commented that teaming with other youth was a highlight of the experience. In the evening, the workshop participants along with the Wasatch youth presented a concert featuring a wide range of musical styles. The enthusiastic crowd cheered for all the young musicians. After introducing all of the youth, the concert concluded with a performance by the Wasatch Music Coaching Academy youth. Thanks to the Entrada
Institute and Wasatch Music Coaching Academy for cosponsoring the event. Special thanks to the Torrey/Teasdale LDS church for providing workshop practice rooms. Finally, thanks to all the youth, parents, and volunteers who made the weekend such as success. We look forward to making this youth music experience an annual event. —Annette Lamb

LOA - On June 12th, of this year, 1,644 high school students from across the country descended on the nation’s capital as part of the Rural Electric Cooperative Youth Tour for a weeklong educational and learning experience. Each year, Garkane Energy selects and sponsors one student from twelve Utah & Arizona high schools within their service district to attend the Washington D.C. Youth Tour. Garkane selected Bre Hammon to attend this year’s youth tour and she represented the Cooperative in an exceptional manner. From the group of 1,644 students, one representative from each state is selected to be on the Youth Leadership Council (YLC) and to represent their respective states at the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association’s (NRECA) annual meeting in Orlando, Fl. Neal Brown of Garkane Energy said, “Bre’s natural leadership ability is apparent and one of the main reasons she was chosen to serve as the Utah delegate on the Youth Leadership Council.” The YLC delegates re-
turned to Washington D.C. in July for a leadership workshop to enhance the delegate’s knowledge of the energy industry, while testing the student’s public speaking skills. The 43 Youth Council delegates were given the opportunity to give a 5-7 minute speech on what inspired them during their Youth Tour experience. A panel of judges then selected one standout student based on the individual’s speech to be the National Spokesperson at the NRECA annual meeting in Orlando, FL. Bre’s excellent public speaking skills, coupled with her superb writing talent won her the coveted spot as the National Youth Spokesperson out of the 1,644 brightest young minds who attended the youth tour in Washington DC. Bre Hammon stated,“Garkane is doing more than providing power to our homes, they are providing empowerment to our youth. I'm glad I could bring this honor home to the Cooperative in return for the amazing experience given to me by Garkane Energy.” —Garkane Energy

I enjoy serving others and making a difference in their lives. Thank you for welcoming me into your community!” —Garfield Memorial Hospital

Most of their songs are created during jam sessions, they say. The international flavor continues with Saturday’s headliner, Belgian Sarah Bettens. As a solo performer and in the band K’s Choice, Sarah has played in front of crowds of 30,000 at some of Europe's biggest festivals. But this summer she’s focusing on the writing and recording of the band’s new album and limiting her summer shows to only four: two festivals in Belgium and two in the US—in Georgia and at the Women’s Redrock Music Festival. Sarah played WRMF a few years ago; she loved the red rocks and the crowds and wanted to come back. Her closing out the festival in 2009 will be remembered as a WRMF highlight.

Wayne High School Celebrates 100 Years (Part II) WAYNE CO. - Wayne High School began its first classes in the fall of 1913. In 1919 the Board of Education authorized the building of a shop for blacksmithing and farm mechanics. This was completed and the following year J. Will Ivie of Loa was hired to teach blacksmithing to boys at Wayne High School. School officials realized that attendance at high school would greatly increase if transportation could be arranged for students. In 1919 the Board decided to buy one truck which was fixed up for hauling pupils from the upper towns. Students were charged fees for riding to school, Mr. Ivie being the first driver of this truck. About the same time Walter E. Hanks drove a touring car to haul pupils from Teasdale. Although free transportation for students was talked of and urged by citizens, it was not until 1925 that it was provided for the five upper towns. These early conveyances were rather crude, but by 1929 two regular school busses were in operation. Attendance at high school continued to increase
nership brings together a diverse group of state and federal agencies, local governments, non-profit organizations, businesses, local landowners, and citizens to achieve restoration goals for the Escalante River and its watershed. Public Land Corps programs are found in all 50 states. There are approximately 150 organizations involved in the Public Lands Service Coalition, including the three Corps involved in the ERWP project: Utah Conservation Corps (UCC) at USU; Canyon County Youth Corps (CCYC) in Monticello; and Arizona Conservation Corps (AZCC) in Flagstaff.

so that by 1936, three busses were needed. Athletic programs, especially the formation of a basketball team in 191-1915 helped to keep the boys in school. Since the school continued to increase in numbers, the need for a larger building became very urgent. The project known as No. 9, was approved, and work began in February 1934. John H. Jackson of Loa supervised the project and the building was finished in 1937. Teachers, students and activities are important in establishing a good education system and Wayne High School has had many good teachers and students. Over 3000 students have graduated from Wayne High School and maintain that “Badger Pride”. Plan on attending the Wayne County Fair from August 11 – August 16 to support Wayne High School and reacquaint with Badger alumni. Hope to see you there.

The Escalante Emergency Preparedness Committee focus for August is Water chlorine bleach according to the following guidelines. Water Purification Small containers: Disinfect 1 gallon water with 8-16 drops of regular household bleach or 1/4 tsp. - double that for cloudy water. Shake and let stand 30 minutes. One teaspoon will disinfect 5 gallons. Immediately after treating, water must initially have a slight smell of chlorine. If it does not - repeat the process. Household bleach is relatively harmless. The smell of chlorine is not bad: it indicates that water is treated and germ free. Once treated and disinfected, the chlorine smell will go away in a few days. Large containers: Regularly used water from large tanks may be treated once or twice a month with 1 Oz. bleach per 200 gallons or 5 Oz. bleach per 1000 gallons. Long-standing water in tanks will be disinfected w/ 1 pint household bleach per 1000 gallons. (2500 gal tanks are fine with 3 pints.) Bleach effectively kills bacteria and viruses, stops smells and then breaks down. Its effective germ killing alkaline property is completely neutralized very quickly. It does not stay chemically active in tanks for more than a few days. Most germs require sunlight to grow. Store water in the dark. So now you have enough water for drinking and cooking, What about sanitation and hygiene? Emergency Sanitation If sewer lines break in an earthquake, where do you go to the bathroom? That can be a scary thought. Making a few preparations can save a lot of grief during disruptions! Here are supplies you can have on hand if the toilet isn’t
working: • Medium-sized plastic bucket with a tight lid. • Household chlorine bleach. • Toilet paper. • Plastic garbage bags and ties (heavy duty). • Soap, liquid detergent. • Towelettes. • Shovel. If sewer lines are broken and your toilet bowl is usable, place a garbage bag inside the bowl. Or build a makeshift toilet: • Line a medium-sized bucket with a garbage bag. • Make a toilet seat out of two boards placed parallel to each other across the bucket or use an old toilet seat. • After each use, pour a disinfectant, such as bleach, into the container. • Cover the container tightly when not in use. • Waste disposal: • Bury garbage and human waste to avoid the spread of disease by rats and insects. • Dig a pit 2-to-3 feet deep and at least 50 feet downhill or away from any well, spring or water supply. Your water heater can be a critical source of water in an emergency, but only if it’s still standing. Go to your home improvement store of choice and buy the metal straps to secure the water heater to nearby studs. A falling water heater can break gas lines and water lines or spill your precious water. Being prepared for emergencies can get overwhelming. Just pick one area to focus on and do that one thing. You will feel more secure and be in a better position to help those who can’t help themselves. —Karen Munson

More than 3.4 million people die each year from water, sanitation, and hygiene-related causes. Lack of access to clean water and sanitation kills children at a rate equivalent of a jumbo jet crashing every four hours, according to UNICEF. These dire statistics in developing countries illustrate the vital need for clean water. If we were to experience an emergency, it could quickly alter our access to clean water. While we have it, let’s use it wisely and store it for future needs. In the phone directory and on Utah’s own preparedness website: http//www.utah. gov/beready/index.html, the following guidelines are listed. Water Storage • One gallon of water per person per day, for drinking and sanitation. • Children, nursing mothers, and sick people may need more water. • If you live in a warm weather climate more water may be necessary. • Store water tightly in clean plastic containers such as soft drink bottles. • Keep at least a three-day supply of water per person with a goal of building to a two-week supply or more. Another idea is to fill empty canning jars after they are used before putting them back in storage. That way you have water stored and when you are ready to use the jar, the water can be used in the canning process. Water can also be stored in empty milk jugs, collapsible plastic containers, 5 gallons plastic jugs similar to gas containers, or 55 gallon drums. If you can get the drums used for drink syrup, you may get a good price. For all containers, simply wash thoroughly and add

By Cynthia Kimball Davis I met a woman at a bridal shower. I first noticed her amazing blue eyes from across the room. They were huge and memorizing. And then she smiled. And it was gorgeous. I was eventually introduced. Right off the bat, I could feel this woman’s beautiful strong spirit. Then she spoke and complimented me. Interesting, though, even before I met her, I knew she was good. After all, “… by their fruits ye shall know them,” Matthew 7:20 simply states. When people meet, think, see, hear, and watch you, what fruits come to mind? Are they prideful or humble ones’? Self-centered or self-less? Worldly or God-like?
How to be Good Fruit
Bully or inclusion ones’? Unfair or fair? Real or fake? Judgmental or non-judgmental? Evil or good? These are just some questions to get you thinking of what kind of a person others may perceive you to be. In fact, in public, one woman I know speaks of loving all mankind, yet, in private, is one of the worst backstabbers I have ever known. Actually, when she has a crowd, she will advocate for fairness and to be non-judgmental; yet, when she is within her inner circle of family and friends, she backstabs to the hilt. Why the inconsistency? I doubt this is the percep-

tion (and reputation) she wants to be known for. According to Dr. Stephen M. R. Covey, author of The Speed of Trust, “What separates the great leaders from the good ones? What makes a manager a manager of choice by her reports, peers, and boss? What makes an individual credible with customers, suppliers, distributors, investors, and other stakeholders? While there are many dimensions to these questions, there is one common thread throughout: being an individual who can be trusted.” (Additionally, Covey recommends to, “Give credit to others. Speak about people as if they were present. Represent others who aren’t there to speak for themselves. Don’t badmouth others behind their backs. Don’t disclose others’ private information.” Similarly, Covey’s father, Dr. Stephen R. Covey taught, in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, "One of the most important ways to manifest integrity is to be loyal to those who are not present. In doing so, we build the trust of those who are present. When you defend those who are absent, you retain the trust of those present.” So how can you become good fruit? For starters, be loyal. To the present and absent. Whatever it takes. No matter what. Cynthia Kimball Davis has a doctorate in curriculum and instruction. She is a speaker and trainer through her company Every1Counts, LLC.

One of the burdens of office of the small town mayor was his brother-in-law, a fellow who liked to throw his or, rather, his in-law's political weight around. The mayor had instructed his policemen and other city officials to treat him just like they would any other taxpayer. The brother-in-law got a ticket for overtime parking. He immediately descended in a fury on police headquarters, waving the ticket and sputtering, "Hey, do you know who I am?" The desk sergeant surveyed him calmly, picked up his telephone and dialed the mayor's office. "Tell the mayor," he said to the secretary, "that his brother-in-law is down here and can't remember his name."

If I was a sheep I’d want to stay there ‘til I’d et ‘em all. Fence Lines There’s water when they’re thirsty, and they live in the great outdoor, by Ray Conrad And it has been a long while since I seen a predator. One little thing I notice, when I walk out by the fence, The air around them fellers don’t smell much like incense. They seem to scatter sewage here and there upon the range. The odor gets all pungenty. It’s their style of climate change. Whatever! They all act mellow, though there’s no lady sheep nearby. Eating and drinking must be enough when you’re just an old buck sheep guy.
Wills, Trusts, and More Digital Assets and Estate Planning by Jeffery J. McKenna
Because we spend a lot of time online – banking, shopping, social networking, etc., a new category of personal property seems to have emerged known to estate planners as “digital assets.” Digital assets include any work or possessions stored on computers, hard drives and the internet. They include photos, videos, e-mails and playlists. People also store medical records and tax documents. More and more financial institutions encourage account holders to sign up for paperless statements. The list – and potential value – continues to grow. To complicate matters, each of the assets may even require different user names and passwords. When a person dies without a will (known as dying “intestate”), the state decides how that person’s assets are distributed. But digital assets such as e-mail and social networking accounts are so recent that most courts have not yet developed rules for how to distribute them when there are no instructions by the owner. Even when there are instructions, there are other legal
hurdles. Just because you have a user name and password with the user’s consent, you could still violate laws by accessing the other person’s account because many social media websites have contracts that protect the privacy of users. Many people have arrangements to pay bills online or have assets online that are tied to PayPal, eBay or Amazon.com, etc. Business owners are also likely to store important information on computers, or have a domain name or a blog that can only be accessed by password or email. For now, until there is legislation enacted that makes it permissible to access online accounts with the consent of account owners, it is probably wise to carefully consider all accounts that are accessed online, including photo-storing sites, PayPal accounts, social media sites, etc. and communicate details to permit access to your personal representative or the trustee of your estate lest important information be inaccessible and lost. In conclusion, it would be wise to include with your estate

School Notes Welcome Back to School As we turn the calendar to the month of August, it usually prompts the idea of returning to school for parents and students. The 2014-2015 school year will begin on August 19th for students in the Garfield School District. Many parents have told me, it will be nice to start school because we need to be back on a schedule. Regardless of how you look at it, school does provide us with structure and schedule during the school year. Some students may say they don’t want school to begin, but most parents welcome the beginning of a new school year. I would like to pass along a few suggestions to help your students prepare for the first day of school. First, try to have your students on a schedule reflecting the time for bedtimes and mornings similar to school
start times. Student’s sleeping patterns can be a major factor in determining your student’s ability to concentrate and be successful in the classroom. If your student is worried about their new teacher or classes, please take them to the school to visit with their teacher before the start of school. Introduce them to their teacher and show them around to alleviate their fears such as where their desk will be located, restrooms, lunch rooms etc. Teachers will be in their classrooms on August 18th which will help facilitate in this process. By taking a few simple steps, parents can ease some of the concerns and anxiety associated with the first days of school for students. Please take time to write your students’ names on personal belongings such as jackets,
Panguitch Middle School 7th Grade Orientation Meeting
An orientation meeting for incoming 7th grade Middle School students and their parents will be held on Thursday, August 14 at 6:00 pm at the High School Auditorium. Students will meet teachers and learn class expectations and curriculum. School forms can be filled out, fees paid, immunization records updated, and lockers chosen, which will lessen the confusion on the first day of school. Remember that all incoming 7th grade students need a Tdap booster, and must have had a varicella shot or had the chickenpox (parent must sign the verification statement). Bring your updated shot records. Students must have the shot before the first day of school. Please plan to attend this meeting. It will help calm some of the first-day-of-school butterflies! If you have any questions, or need to enroll a new student, please call the Middle School at 676-8225.
backpacks, and lunch boxes. Please also visit with the school secretary or log into the student’s SIS account to check for up-to-date contact numbers and emergency contact information in your student’s file. It is also helpful for parents to enter their personal email accounts into the SIS system, thus allowing teachers to convey valuable information to parents. The Garfield School District and teachers have worked very hard this summer to ensure a positive learning environment for all of the students in the District. We welcome you to the beginning of a wonderful school year. —Superintendent Ben Dalton
Report Ranks Utah 11th for Child Well-Being
SALT LAKE CITY - Utah ranks eleventh in the nation for the overall well-being of its children and financial health of their families, according to the latest Kids Count Data Book rankings from the Annie E. Casey Foundation, released this week. The research considers multiple indicators of a child's economic stability, health and education, as well as family and community, and it includes some areas of concern for Utah. Terry Haven, deputy director of Voices for Utah Children, says what alarms her most is that nearly two-thirds of young children in the state are not enrolled in preschool. "We know that children who come to school, come to kindergarten ready to learn, ready to head off on their educational path, are going to do a lot better than those children who don't," says Haven. Haven says Utah ranks 29th in the nation for enrollment of three- and four-year-old children in preschool programs. She says a significant amount of research shows that a high-quality early education can play a major role in a child's long-term educational and lifetime success. Haven adds that Utah's ability to compete in a growing global economy is at stake. Haven notes that Utah's preschool attendance may increase because of a new state law providing more funding for early education. Massachusetts ranks number one in the Kids Count Data Book, while Mississippi is ranked last. —Troy Wilde, Utah News Connection

FYI Panguitch
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Another big event down, the Tour of Utah Race is really something. Hopefully you got out to see the start of the second leg here in Panguitch. I didn’t get the information this year like last year and I really blew the first day of the race. Last year the riders came down Hwy 143 through town and back up to 14, this year they are going down through Parowan and back to Cedar. Boy so much preparation goes into events this big that it blows your mind and these events really bring in a lot of money to the town. As you saw these elite athletics are extremely thin, they feel that every pound of body weight, you have to work that much harder. They work as a team of eight, with changing of positions every 30 sec. to break the wind for the other riders in the pack. It is scary how close they ride together, no better than 6” apart, one blink and it’s over. One of the team members is the leader, with the others breaking the wind for him, so he can go all out, when they get close to the finish line. Many thanks to those that volunteered to help make our end of the race so special. Hopefully this will be an annual event here in town, Panguitch gets a lot of good publicity from the race. The Inmates from up on the hill really did an excellent job sprucing up the town, they love helping out and work really hard when they get the chance. The monsoons are back and don’t you just love it? This is the fifth year that we have been blessed with this moisture. From the Desert News article, we are in a 14 year drought and we are really using up our ground water at an alarming rate. From 2004 to 2013 we have depleted our ground water by 53 million acre feet. This is nearly double the volume of Lake Mead the largest reservoir in the country. That water has been taken from the Colorado River Basin, which includes Utah and
6 other western states. This shortage has led to a moratorium on any additional withdrawals because the aquifers are not at a “safe yield” meaning that depletion has eclipsed how fast the aquifers can refill. We need to recognize that our water supplies –both groundwater and surface water are precious in a desert, said Alan Matheson, senior adviser to Governor Herbert. Talk about sticker shock, have you checked meat prices lately, they are skyrocketing. From hamburger to steaks they are at an all time high. I though it was a local thing, so I checked out Costco and Wall Mart and it was the same thing. Rib Eye steak at Costco was $9.99 but you had to take out a loan, because they only had twenty pound packages. Even salmon was 4 lbs. for $32.00. We may have to change to eating more veggies, probably better for you anyway. I hear that the ranchers in our area love it, usually they have been getting the short end of the stick when it come to the meat business. A lot of this is due to the drought mainly in Texas where they are really hurting for water and feeding their stock with hay that has gotten way too costly and have had to sell their herds and get out of the business. A real disaster hit the Vermon and Catherine Barney home on the west side of town. At 3:30 am on Friday morning they heard a window crash in their basement, when they went to see what had happened, they found their basement was flooded with about 4 feet of water. An agriculture line had broken and the force was so strong that it broke the downstairs window and flooded the basement. Pat gave me a call to go over to see if I could be of any help. When I got there, at least 40 kids were there helping out. The boys were hauling the ruined furniture and bedding from down stairs and the girls were on the lawn drying out all of
the Barney’s pictures and papers, by waving them and laying them on the lawn to dry. I didn’t recognize anyone, (kids or adults.) It seems that a LDS Youth group, from Santa Clara was here for a youth conference. They heard about the Barney’s problem and made it into a service project. President Yardley who spoke to the group that evening, talked about service among other topics. The Barney’s are both safe and are at Malloy Dodds home, temporally. Because the water was agriculture the basement was a total loss, including furniture, bedding, walls, floor and ceiling. Isn’t it wonderful that the youth of Utah are so eager to lend a hand when needed? Many thanks Santa Clara, your youth are special and you should be really proud of them. There is still a lot going on in town the rest of the summer. The County Fair is coming up next week and the schedule was in last weeks Insider. Looks like a lot of fun events for everyone and a lot of new events are also included. Get your art work, animals and anything you want to enter at the Fair, for prizes and ribbons. The Commission luncheon will begin at noon on Saturday and will be hosted by the Lions, who will put on the Demolition Derby in the evening to end up the Fair on high note. The next week will be the
ATV Rally. It will run Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day will have guided tours for all ranges of riders, from beginners to experts. There will also be a second ATV that will be raffled off, as well as the one that will be given away to those that register for the Rally. Talking to many of the business owners, this has been a bumper year. So far they are heading for a record year, with all of the events that have been going on. Times have changed. Those that come here for the baseball tournaments, far out number those from the cowboy set, with their shopping. At long last the Thunder Horse Mercantile has sold. It has been up for sale for many years. I believe it will be a shop and restaurant combination or bar and restaurant and that should spruce up the downtown area. In my opinion, the brown paper on the windows is really ugly. The boy’s baseball season got underway yesterday with a game against Tinnic. Coach Barney feels PHS has another strong team, their success will depend on how well the pitching goes. In high school 80% of the team’s strength is their pitching. Oh where did the summer go? School supplies are on sale and there is a big push to start school shopping. Already!!! Mack O.

Bryce Valley Area News by Vicki D. Syrett 679-8687 or vickidiane36@hotmail.com Daniel Cloud said it was a great week with the scouts at Camp TIFIE. Congratulations to them on winning first place in the 'duck tape - cardboard' boat race! Nice job putting it all together. One of MY Heros - from Logann Eagar. About 3 years ago, Hayden C. Adkins (then 12 years old), and I, were both diagnosed with cancer. After major surgeries, treatments, follow-up's, and more, things have been 'looking up' for Hayden. He and I have shared some special things, and some special moments together , even having one of the same surgeons at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. There is something though, that Hayden and I never again wanted to do together! Yep... Hayden's cancer is back. Please, any way at all that you can help, he needs it. His family needs it. Monetary donations can be made under Hayden's name, at any State Bank Of Southern Utah. (PM me if you want to help, but are not near a State Bank.) Thank you, thank you. PS - I LOVE YOU HAYDEN!!! We wish both of these very kind and loving folks a lot of good health in their future. Logann is always so cheerful and loving of those around her even though she is struggling. Young Hayden we wish you the very best. You are both in our prayers and hearts while you are going though this trying time. We honor your for your courage and endurance. We all love you both. The Young Men of the Bryce Valley Area and some very special others are staging an Benefit Rodeo to help Hayden Adkins with his fight against this rare cancer that
has come back to attack him. It will be held on August 8th and all are welcome to take part. There will be plenty of events for you to participate in and many prizes to win. You can also purchase a Hayden the Hero T-Shirt. We want him to know that "No One Fights Alone." Thanks to Trevan Harris for contacting us by email and face book to know about this Rodeo event. Come out and support the event if you can. You can also donate at any State Bank of Utah if that is easier. Watch for the flyers and posters up around the area announcing this. There will also be a bake sale so goodies are accepted. On July 26, 2014 Helen Willis (Grandma Willis or GW) celebrated her 84th birthday with all of her family who enjoyed a family reunion which they had not all been together for over 6 years. JoAnn & Kevin Leiby from Sparks, NV- Peggy & Craig Oberhansli from Fernley, NV - Marie & Larry Head from Boise, ID - and Carla & Martin Ramsay from Tropic. Helen's brother and sister Raymond Blondin from Hawthorne and Ruth Gaw from Reno Nevada came and took GW to lunch and enjoyed the afternoon with her on Friday. Friday Night we all partied with Navajo tacos and a movie on the lawn. Saturday everyone started with a hike and lots of good food , water balloon fights, games , prizes and lots of visiting and getting acquainted with all of the cousins. We had a birthday party for GW with cake and all the trimmings and we went to the church and had a talent show with singing, dancing, red neck poetry and piano so-
los. There were about 50 in all attending and it was lots of fun for everyone. Family came from Cedar City, Salem, Panguitch and St. George, Utah and Fernely, Hawthorne, Reno, and Sparks, Nevada, and Boise, Idaho. Shelly Pollock shared this comment on facebook about her Dad. I took the liberty of sharing it with you. . ."Early this morning my dad joined his sweetheart and eternal companion to be together for time and all eternity. I know Mom is dancing with joy and he is following along. We are happy they are together again but we will miss you Dad. We sure love you tons." We send our condolences out to the family of Devar Pollock who passed away on July 28th. They held his funeral on Saturday August 2nd and we want the family to know you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time of your loss. A Family Reunion of the Joe and Violet Rae Hughes family was held this past weekend. They camped above Pine Lake and had a glorious time in spite of getting rained on a lot. Attending were Violet Rae Hughes, Catherine Littlefield, Charlotte Mathews and Maxine Veater and their families. They camped in tents and trailers and enjoyed the visiting, eating together and just plain relaxing. Congratulations to Joseph and Jessica Harman on the birth of their adorable little twin girls. Born early at 26 weeks they weighed in at 2 lbs. 8 oz. and have already gained another pound. One weighs 3 lbs. 4 oz. and the other 3 lbs. 3 ozs. They join
older sister 2 year old Eliana. Born on June 30th in Salt Lake City and still staying in the hospital until they get a bit bigger are Finley and Tatum Harman. Proud grandparents in Tropic are Robert and Yarlta Harman who just smile very wide while they are talking about the little girls. The Henrieville Scouts had the Scout Camp up at Pine Lake.

Starting at about 5:45 p.m. on Thursday night the 31st of July, cars, trucks and mini vans were headed for Lyman, Utah on highway 24 and on every back dirt road in Wayne County. From outer space or high atop Boulder Mountain somewhere the sight probably resembled something like you might see in some “B” rated science fiction that James and Nan Anderson used to show at the Wayne Theater once a year. The closer you got to Lyman it was clear where all those outfits were headed, and that would be the Lyman baseball field because “Women’s Softball Tournament Thursday” was about ready to get started, and like Hot Rod always said “you gotta love it baby.” It was also one of those electric Wayne County nights where if lightning had struck twice in the same spot no one would have been surprised and if the truth were to be known before hand the girls that were gathered were ready to make some lightning strike all over the Lyman baseball field. Before the game, I had passed Jeremy Birmingham while he was walking on the back street in Lyman headed for the ball filed. I can’t say for sure but I think if I had stopped to say hello I might have interrupted him in prayer. Jeremy is the type of guy I think the folks from Disney probably based the character Shrek on, big heart with a soft soul. As Jeremy lumbered toward the baseball diamond in Lyman I could see he was in deep thought and rightly so, as he was about to enter into the lioness den as live bait, wearing nothing more than a tee shirt, shorts and tennis shoes. Just the type of guy the girls know to respect to make the right call, but like the Pillsbury doughboy soft enough to poke in the belly when they don’t get the call they thought they deserved. To all the Wayne County husbands, boy friends, and potential mates lingering on the sidelines at the Lyman sports park Jeremy Birmingham is a legend and a local hero. The type of man that the men of Wayne County proudly point to when they want their sons to see for them selves the type of guy that has replaced the Marlboro Man of our time, without the tobacco. With the promptness of a railroad conductor, Jeremy the Pillsbury doughboy umpire set the 2014 Women’s Softball Tournament in motion… and there was no turning that train back. ***As part of an editorial and this writers personal warning, the only paper I had available to take notes on at the “Girls Softball Tournament” also contained my grocery list, which at times conspicuously seemed to correspond with the action taking place on the baseball field with names like Candy, legs like lettuce, yams,

So here’s how it went… Almost just as soon as the snug fitting baseball cleats and sports shoes from places like Dicks Sporting Goods and Foot Locker were being retrieved from smelly sports bags and after passing around a Costco size bottle of baby powder in the dug out it was time for the 2014 Women’s Softball Tournament to begin. In a show of force and with dogged determination the Diamond Divas and the Posse hit the field. There were so many hits in the first game of the evening that Jeremy looked more like New York City traffic cop rather than a Wayne County softball umpire. Balls were flying all over the place and girls were running, diving, catching and sliding into bases like they were butter. There were so many close calls that if Jeremy had any more hair he would have been pulling it out. The score switched hands so many times that there had to be two score keepers, I even lost track half a dozen times in between my Frosted Flakes and pork chops. I have watched a lot of baseball my day but I have to say there was so much action in the first round game that if it was up to me I would have said both teams won just on principle. But nobody asked me, and when the scores were tallied the Posse had more apples than the Diamond Divas did oranges. The second game of the night was between the Wild Roses and the Strikers. My head was still spinning from the first game and it took a while for me to focus my attention but when I did I could see both teams were playing their hearts out. Lucky for Jeremy it was at a somewhat slower pace, yet there was just
as much intensity. There were some fine infield plays as well as some throws from the outfield right on the mark. There were ladies standing their ground at the bases so well that they surely could have been in the running for a coveted position as a Buckingham Palace Guard at the Queens Palace in England or a ticket taker at Disney land. At one point there was a crash at home plate so violent that I was sure somebody had lost a tooth, but when the dust died down both girls wore full smiles and the Wild Roses walked away the winners. Like fireworks after the Derby it was the finale’ between the Wild Roses and the Posse girls that turned out to be the most exciting. By that time of the night my grocery list was so full of notes that I was positive my cat was going to have to go without cat food for another day. The two teams score was up and down so much that you would have thought they were on a playground teeter totter. And it was tied so many times that even some fifth grader good at common core math would have had a hard time knowing who was on top. Toward the end of the game Jeremy was depending heavily on Mike Clark to keep track of the time left in the game while Mike was busy using the flashlight on his phone to help Sheri keep track of the plays. The Posse girls were one up on the Wild Roses in the bottom of the 7th inning and it was a Las Vegas jugging act-taking place behind the backstop watching Mike and Sheri Clark try and keep track of the score in the dark. The game was scheduled to end at 9:20 p.m. but at 9:19 there was still not a clear game winner. The bases were near loaded when Magon Bowling stepped up to home plate and the only sound you could hear was a few kids way off to the side playing football with a

water bottle. I can’t say for sure what the count was, but it was do or die. Then like the scene in the movie “The Natural” when Robert Redford hit the ball into the lights and sparks showered down on the field, everything went into slow motion and cheers sounded muffled to the ear until Magon rounded third base headed for home. It was then that the crowd exploded into a loud frenzy. When all was said and done the score was 14 -11 in favor of the Wild Roses. Tournament bracketing; Wild Roses 1st place, Diamond Divas 2nd place, Posse 3rd place, Strikers 4th place. 6:30 game; Diamond Divas vs Posse. Posse won 11-6. 7:30 game; Wild Roses vs Strikers. Roses won 16-2. Championship game 8:30; Wild Roses vs Posse. Roses won 14-11. There was still lightning flashing far off in the night sky while the crowd at the Lyman ballpark began to dispersed. It was late and time for the Ladies of Wayne County to go back to being Wives, Mothers and best friends. Thanks Ladies… There is such a thing as a weekly attitude index in Wayne County. What I found to be somewhat surprising after a very informational and pleasant road trip down county to Caineville and Hanksville to hang 2014 Tour Of Utah pole banners with Wayne County’s Tourism Director Nycole Durfey is the dramatically and noticeable recent shift in administrative and personnel attitude in the middle portion of the county. Then together we traveled all the way back up county to do the same with friends and volunteers Kim and Jerry Burd from Havasu, Arizona that graciously took the time out of their retirement day to provide time, fuel, and tools and precariously climb poles in Bicknell, Lyman and Loa to help ensure the word got out that the Tour of Utah had once again chosen to showcase Wayne County to the world. A Wayne County economic opportunity and local boon that some seem to twist their noses up at but actually provides tourism advertisement dollars in the millions to an area that can surely benefit from. After a highly professional conversation with businessman Duke Alvey, a lunch at the Slick Rock Grill in Hanksville and a sweet as can be roadside discussion with Nadine Brown while she was pulling weeds in preparation of the Wayne County Fair in Loa, it became quite apparent that high levels of happiness and low levels of stress and community pride are more skewed toward the ends of Wayne County than in the middle these days. But like old Meeks Morrell once told me, its nothing that someone with a little backbone and a Bull Whip can’t fix. Bring on Wayne County Fair Week!
LOA - After experiencing 93 wonderful years on this earth, the Patriarch of our family peacefully stepped into the loving arms of our Savior and waiting family members on August 3, 2014 at his home in Loa. Ernest Oyler, beloved and honored husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, was born July 26, 1921 in Loa, Utah, a son of Ammon Oyler Jr. and Annie Elizabeth Ernstsen Oyler. He was the ninth of thirteen children born to the couple. He married his eternal companion, Mary Leta Coleman, October 27, 1951 in Loa, Utah. Their marriage was solemnized in the Manti LDS Temple, September 18, 1975. Together, they raised seven children. Growing up, he learned from his parents, the value of honesty and hard work. He taught these values to his children, who have in turn, taught their children and so his influence and example will continue on. How grateful we are for life-long lessons taught by him. When he was ten years old, his father passed away and he went to live with an aunt and uncle, attending school in the historic school house in Fruita. Ernest served four years in the US Army as a Private First Class in the 343rd Infantry Regiment. He participated in the American Theater of Operations, Asiatic Pacific Theater and the Philippine Liberation. He earned a Bronze Star, Good Conduct and Victory Medals. He received an honorable discharge on February 4, 1946. He loved to hunt and fish with his sons and brothers and looked forward to joining them for their annual campouts and hunting adventures. Ernest was a High Priest and a member of the LDS Church. He and his wife served as Temple Workers in the Manti Temple, as assignment they thoroughly enjoyed. He was a faithful Home Teacher, but his favorite calling was that of a Primary Teacher. He had a great love for little children. He was a farmer, all around handyman and heavy equipment operator for the Wayne County Road Department. He retired in 1986 after 28 years with the department. Family was his most prized possession. He loved them deeply and prayed nightly for each one of them. Ernest is survived by his loving wife of 63 years, Leta Oyler of Loa; children: Eunice (Johnny Beard) Oyler of Santa Fe, Texas; Ramona (Don) Peterson of Richfield; Dwight (Wanda) Oyler, Douglas (Merlyn) Oyler, Rick (Melanie) Oyler, Mericha Ann Oyler, all of Loa; Roger (Luana) Oyler of Torrey; 20 grandchildren; 8 great-grandchildren; sister, LaRue (Clint, deceased) Peterson and sister-in-law: DeOna (Jack) Putnam, all of Loa; and Bonni Oyler of California. He was preceded in death by his parents; a daughter, Leisa Oyler; and his siblings: Hans (Cleo) Oyler; Melvin (Wilma) Oyler; Victor (Mary) Oyler; Lila Taylor; Zina (Chester) New; Blanche (Earl) Pendleton; Layton (Lela) Oyler, Delia (Clyde) Peterson, Joy Oyler; Leland Oyler and Lester J. Oyler. Funeral services will be held Friday, August 8, 2014 at 1:00 P.M. in the Fremont LDS Ward Chapel, where friends may call for viewing Friday morning from 11:00 to 12:30 prior to the services. Burial with military honors accorded by the Harold Brown American Legion Post #92 and the Utah Honor Guard will be in the Loa Cemetery under the care of the Springer Turner Funeral Home of Richfield and Salina, Utah.

Sevier Valley Medical Center’s Governing Board Sees Changes in Chair RICHFIELD - After five years of dedicated service as chairman of Sevier Valley Medical Center’s Governing Board, Gene Beck has completed his leadership term. The board has acknowledged that Ken May will now serve in the role of board chairman, effective July 1, 2014 through June 2019. Sevier Valley Medical Center welcomed Beck to the Governing Board as a trustee in May of 2005. He then served as board chairman from July 2009 through June 2014. Though his time as chairman is complete, Beck will continue to give his time to the hospital and the community, serving on the board as a trustee thru the remainder of his term. A retired healthcare executive, Beck has served in senior leadership positions at
both hospital and corporate settings in California, Utah, and Texas prior to settling in Richfield. In addition to his time on SVMC’s Governing Board, Beck has served on numerous healthcare and advisory boards. He and his wife, JoAnn, are the parents of three daughters, and the grandparents of five grandchildren and seven greatgrandchildren. “As a long-time resident, past healthcare executive, and community leader, Gene has helped to ensure that the healthcare needs of our communities have been met during his years as chairman of the board,” Sevier Valley Medical Center administrator, Gary Beck explains. “We truly appreciate the dedication he has shown to both our hospital and to our community.”
New chairman, Ken May, joined the SVMC Governing Board as a trustee in 1994. Many in the community know May from his current position as general manager of SUFCO Mine near Salina. His years of leadership experience, in addition to his military background, will serve him well as he steps into his new leadership role with the Governing Board. “With over 20 years of experience as a board trustee, Ken has a solid understanding of how the Governing Board operates; his transition into the role of chairman will be seamless,” said Gary Beck. “We truly appreciate Ken’s willingness to serve in this leadership role, as the board continues to assist our hospital in serving the members of our communities.” —Sevier Valley Medical Center

Practical Money Matters
Consumer Reporting Agencies Follow Your Moves By now, you've probably heard about the Big Three credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion), which monitor your financial history and issue credit reports and credit scores to potential lenders. But did you know that there are dozens of other specialty consumer reporting agencies that track your history for activities that may not appear on your regular credit reports – things like bounced checks, late utility payments, insurance claims and prescription orders? Most people never hear about these companies until they're suddenly turned down for an apartment, checking account, insurance policy or even a job or promotion. But you need to know that potential landlords, banks, insurance companies and employers are very likely ordering specialty reports to help them assess the risk of doing business with you. That's fine if you've got a squeaky-clean track record. But what if their files contain mistakes; or worse, what if someone has hijacked your identity and is poisoning your record with their own bad behavior? Fortunately, you do have recourse. Under federal law, you can request a copy of your report once a year from each agency, generally for free. You're also entitled to a free copy whenever an "adverse action" is taken against you because of something in the report. (For example, if you're turned down for a checking account.) Unfortunately, there's no central clearinghouse for these specialty agencies so you need to contact each individually. However, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has taken some of the legwork out by compiling a list of the
by Jason Alderman most commonly used agencies, along with instructions and contact information for ordering your reports. (Search "Specialty Consumer Agencies" at www.cfpb.gov.) Another great resource is the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse's fact sheet on specialty reports at www.privacyrights.org. Specialty consumer reporting agencies collect information about you from various sources and share it with creditors and other businesses, including: • Public records of criminal and civil cases • Credit history • Bankruptcy filings • Companies with which you have an existing or prior relationship • Medical information • Driving records Typical inquiries might include: • Check-writing history – for banks, credit unions and businesses that accept payments by check. They'll look for things like bounced or returned checks and fraud. • Medical conditions and prescription drug history – if you're applying for an individual life, long-term care or disability insurance policy. (Note: Health insurers can't deny coverage or charge higher premiums because of preexisting conditions.) • Residential – landlords checking your tenant history, credit, criminal background, etc. • Auto or homeowner/renter's insurance – insurers will screen your records for things like traffic violations, claims and property losses. • Payday lending – creditors investigating people who don't use traditional
financial services (banking, credit cards, etc.) might evaluate payday loans, check-cashing services, prepaid cards, etc. • Utilities – If you're trying to open a new utility, phone, cable or Internet account. • Employment background – By law, employers must obtain your permission to run a background check. Unfortunately, they're generally not required to identify which company they're using unless they decide not to hire you – it doesn't hurt to ask ahead of time, though. Note that when you dispute information in your reports, agencies are legally obligated to investigate and correct any inaccurate or outdated information. Also, they must give you an update on the status of your request to view your report. However, there is no time limit on when your request must be processed. Bottom line: You might not realize there's false or potentially damaging information being reported about you, so get in the habit of ordering specialty consumer reports along with your credit reports.
