Live Music to Take Over Torrey This Weekend TORREY - As summer progresses and the desert monsoons continue their migration through Torrey, so does another annual event: the RedRock Women’s Musical Festival. Hosted at Robber’s Roost Bookstore, the festival is expected to host upwards of 600 attendees. Now in it’s seventh year, the festival will offer a powerful line-up that includes returning favorites as well as first timers to the venue.

Friday’s line-up gets started with Erika Luckett and Lisa Ferraro. Together, these two artists (dubbed “The Ambassadors of Kindness”) have ignited and uplifted audiences around the globe. Call it “Sonic Nourishment” or “New Music for a New Millennium,” their music transcends genre.

Next, Toby Beard takes the stage solo for her third appearance at the festival. After spending the year touring Europe and Canada, as well as her homeland of Australia, Toby is looking forward to the welcoming, supportive Redrock crowds. Next comes God Des & She, out of Austin Texas, an American hip-hop/pop/ soul duo from the Midwest, composed of Alicia Smith (God-des) and Tina Gassen (She). Since they appeared on the Showtime hit series The L Word in 2006, they have sold more than 30,000 albums and toured the world.

Closing out Friday night is Antigone Rising known for its soaring three-part harmonies and a driving and vivacious live show. The band stormed into 2013 with a new single and a founding band member on the cover of Time magazine. The New York

based, alt-country female rockers’ philosophy is, “Play better than the boys and make sure the fans feel like part of the family.”

The festival begins again Saturday morning at 11 am —an earlier start time than in years past to accomodate the number of performers. The day starts with indie-popacoustic singer, guitarist and

Australian songstress Toby Beard will solo on Friday and perform with her full band as the RedRock Women’s Music Festival headliner on Saturday night.

piano jammer Jess Furman.

Now out of Los Angeles, Jess says she “Grew up breaking guitar strings.” The rest of the day features another Los Angeles-based musician, Julian Moon; Portuguese-Canadian, multi-instrumentalist Awna Teixeira; Utah’s own 13-yearold guitarist and songwriter Sophia Dion; folk musician Ellis (back for her second visit with a warm-up for the Moab

New York based alt-country band Antigone Rising will perform at the festival on both Friday and Saturday nights.

Antigone Rising will take the stage one more time to make sure the crowd’s ready for the night’s closer: the feisty and awe-inspiring Toby—this time with her full band.

The Women’s Redrock Music Festival, created in 2007, is a program of the nonprofit Entrada Institute, and is organized by Carol Gnade, Founding Director, along with Laurie Wood, Jeri Tafoya, and Lu Prickett. As stated in its mission statement, the festival promises “Music by Women, for Everyone.” With an endeavor to empower and support independent women musicians from around the world, the festival each year brings the benefits of donations, scholarships, and loyal followers, which are cultural and economical gifts to Torrey and the surrounding communities and small business owners.

For tickets and more information go to www.redrockwomensfest.com.

And if that’s not enough music, there’s free post-festival dancing at The Saddlery both Friday and Saturday at 9:30 with live music by The Vision, featuring China Mae, Secily Saunders, Carol Dalrymple, Joel Dyer, and Trevor Dimon Andersen. The band has an eclectic mix of sounds and songs that call to listeners’ souls in an irresistible way.

Dancing is inevitable and loving every minute of it is just as inescapable. Lead vocals China Mae (aka Chandra Marie Whitaker) has a strong, glowing presence and a beautiful, powerful voice.

Of course the music doesn’t stop once the stage lights dim.

Come listen to Julian Moon, Mary Tebbs and Monique Lanier after the festival Friday night at The Patio at 9:30. You can get a preview of Julian Moon, who will perform on the festival stage on Saturday at 12:10.

Monique Lanier is known for her “pretty-to-jarring piano stylings and rich Rickie Lee Jones-influenced vocal.” And Mary Tebbs performances are “about laughter, reality, getting lost in love and moving on.”

The live music at The Patio will be a wonderful way to end the first night of the Festival.

Southern Paiute Children’s Book to be Released at Special Presentation CAPITOL REEF N.P. - Please join Capitol Reef National Park on Saturday, August 10, 2013 for special events to celebrate the release of a new children’s book Why the Moon Paints Her Face Black. The book was created as a result of a partnership between the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah, linguistics student Chloe Brent, Capitol Reef Natural History Association, Capitol Reef National Park and the National Park Service Colorado Ecosystems Study Unit (CESU).

The Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah has a rich history and cultural ties to Capitol Reef National Park. Southern Paiute is not a written language. Linguistics student Chloe Brent works to document and preserve endangered languages and conceived a project to record a traditional Southern Paiute cosmological story in both English and Southern Paiute in cooperation with the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah. The CESU provided funding to Utah State University for a Chloe to complete her language translation project. Capitol Reef Natural History Association and Capitol Reef National Park funded the design and production of the children’s book which is now available in bookstores throughout the region. The book includes an audio recording of the story and brings to life a language known and spoken by few.

Events for Saturday, August 10, 2013 will include a book signing at the visitor center from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm and a special bilingual presentation of the book by Southern Paiute Indian Tribal Elder – Cedar Band - Eleanor Tom and linguistics student Chloe Brent at the amphitheater at 8:45 pm.

Capitol Reef National Park preserves many cultural and natural resources. More information about the park can be found on the website at www.nps.gov, and at www.facebook.com/CapitolReefNPS, www.twitter.com/CapitolReefNPS and by phone at (435) 425-3791.

Local Workshop with Global Reach Focuses on Future of Agriculture

by Bob Phillips Contributing Writer BOULDER - When it comes to feeding an ever-burgeoning world population and the problems associated with modern agricultural methods, many people grow resigned and gloomy, acknowledges local farmer Eden Gal of Boulder.

Given the state of corporate-dominated agriculture, fossil fuel-based farming methods and what appear to be diminishing or degraded resources at every turn, that attitude is quite understandable, said Gal, a native of Israel and one of the creators of True Nature Farms in Salt Gulch. Gal recently conducted a two-week course on sustainable agriculture methods at the Boulder Mountain Guest Ranch, and discussed his observations in an interview.

All those truisms about the impossibility of feeding the world are false, Gal said. In reality, the world wastes a tremendous amount of food daily and is fully capable of feeding everyone on the planet in a way that does not depend on finite and decreasing resources such as oil, or costly and dangerous chemical inputs of fertilizers,

pesticides and herbicides, he said.

Gal emphasized that focusing on solutions, rather than on what appear to be intractable problems, is the only way forward. That is much of the thrust of the permaculture design course he coordinated near Boulder in July, and also the thrust of permaculture in general, he said.

Nevertheless, students who attended the two-week course discussed the many problems associated with a system that uses 10 calories worth of energy for every calorie of food produced – a system that is clearly not sustainable over the long haul.

“I think they all realize that the current way of doing things is just not working,” Gal said. “Our society is currently consuming more resources than there are available on the planet. And our choice is either to close our eyes or to do something about it. All these people at the permaculture course want to do something about it.”

The 45 attendees came from as far away as the Philippines and Columbia and from

as nearby as within Utah, such as a couple of participants from Wasatch Gardens in Salt Lake City. Their interests ranged from effective and sustainable methods of growing rice to improved grazing methods for cattle ranching in the Midwest.

The term “permaculture” was coined by two Australian agricultural researchers, Bill Mollison and David Holmgren, back in the 1970s to describe interwoven agricultural, social and economic systems that mimic nature and utilize natural systems to grow food in an integrated fashion, Gal explained. Fundamental to such systems are soil and water conservation, natural methods of building soil biota and fertility, and organic methods that don’t rely on the use of fossil fuels and chemical inputs.

“It’s not a system, it’s not a set of techniques,” he said.

“It’s a framework for design of a sustainable living environment, based on natural principles—working with nature, not against it.”

Special Presentation Takes a Closer Look at Tamarisk Leaf Beetle ESCALANTE - On Tuesday, August 13, 2013, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will host “Western Riparian Ecosystems: Focusing on the Tamarisk Leaf Beetle and Its Effects”. The program is a special Grand StaircaseEscalante National Monument Walks and Talks Lecture Series presentation to be held at the Escalante Interagency Visitor Center located at 755 West Main, in Escalante, Utah.

Beginning at 7:00 p.m., Ben Bloodworth from the Tamarisk Coalition will provide an overview of the health of western riparian ecosystems, effects of invasive plant species, and restoration outcomes. The presentation will discuss the tamarisk leaf beetle, including a brief history of its study and release, range expansion, population monitoring, and the effects (both direct and indirect) of these beetles on riparian areas and endangered species, such as the southwestern willow flycatcher. As part of the program, Bloodworth will offer possible restoration tech-

niques for riparian ecosystems and the need for partnerships and collaboration in riparian rehabilitation and restoration.

Ben Bloodworth obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Furman University in Greenville, SC, and an Master of Science in Environmental Science from Alaska Pacific University in Anchorage. He worked for the states of Alaska, Mississippi, and Utah in wetland mitigation and restoration, wetland ecology, invasive species management, community wildfire planning, fuels reduction, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Ben started with the Tamarisk Coalition in June and is the Program Coordinator for the Tamarisk Leaf Beetle Monitoring program, actively working with partners in eight states to track beetle populations across the west.

The presentation will last about an hour and is free. Call 435-826-5499 for more information.

Congress has now disagreed with him, although according to Denise Edwards, senior government affairs officer for the National Children’s Alliance, the federal dollars are still not a sure thing.

“The next step is for each of these bills in the House and Senate to go to their respective floors,” she said. “At each level, there is the potential that the money could be stripped out, because until a bill is ‘gaveled’ and signed into law,

Funding Spared to Help Victims of Child Abuse SALT LAKE CITY People who run the dozen Children’s Advocacy Centers (CACs) in Utah celebrated this month - but only briefly - as both the U.S. House and Senate appropriations committees kept their federal funding in the budget. It’s one step in a longer process.

The centers coordinate child abuse investigation and treatment, and they piece together funding from a variety of sources. They were stunned when, for the second year, President Obama did not in-

you honestly can’t take anything for granted.”

Utah’s 14 Children’s Advocacy Centers handled about 6,000 cases last year. They provide a safe place for children who have been abused to get medical and mental health care, and to talk with specially trained forensic interviewers without having to recount their stories at multiple steps in the legal process.

The National Children’s Alliance is the membership and accrediting organization for more than 850 Children’s

Advocacy Centers around the nation. Edwards said she has been on Capitol Hill a lot in recent weeks, stressing the fact that handling child abuse cases through a CAC saves communities about $1000 per case by coordinating services.

“Sometimes, I think it’s one of the best-kept secrets out there, that they exist,” Edwards said. “But they’re doing wonderful things to not only treat and look out for the welfare of the child, but then they’re able to save money in the process for the community, as they combine resources and kind of work with each other, together.”

The federal funding proposed for the Victims of Child Abuse Act is $19 million, the same as in the previous budget year. CACs also receive some state funding and private donations.

SALT LAKE CITY - At this week’s Outdoor Retailer Summer Market in Salt Lake City, the hottest new recreation trend has been stand-up paddleboarding - and it fits right in with a campaign also launched at the show.

“Stand Up for the Colorado River” is the slogan, as conservation groups urged people to contact Interior Secretary Sally Jewell on Twitter and ask for her support for river protection - with some standup paddleboards as prizes.

Craig Mackey, co-director of the group Protect the Flows, says there’s a serious side to all the fun - as the Colorado River system supports 250,000 recreation-related jobs, including many in Utah.

“If we take care of those jobs, ensure that Americans have places to get outside and play, those jobs can’t be exported, they can’t be sent overseas,” he says. “And we can even attract international tourism, and bring more jobs and more money right back here to America.”

Mackey describes Protect the Flows as a coalition of almost 900 businesses that say they depend on the Colorado

River system.

As an industry, outdoor recreation brings an estimated $12 billion a year to Utah some of it in conjunction with the twice-annual Outdoor Retailer trade shows that bring more than 25,000 vendors and buyers to the Salt Palace Convention Center.

It was during an Outdoor Retailer Winter Market that Gov. Gary Herbert announced his Outdoor Recreation Vision for Utah. Mackey says since then, he feels as if Utah has turned a corner - and sees the importance of supporting the recreation economy.

“There’s a lot of facets to the outdoor industry,” he adds.

“And I think the governor and I think a lot of the policymakers in Utah have come around to recognize that it’s about recreation, it’s about quality of life, it’s about industry - it’s about all of those.”

The Stand Up campaign is co-sponsored by Save the Colorado and American Rivers.

Hiring Process in Garfield County School District

I would like to inform the public of the new employees in Garfield County School District.

The following teachers have been or will be recommended by the hiring committees for School Board approval.

Scott Henrie - BVHS Counselor/Teacher Ann Marie Norris - PES 1st Grade Teacher

Regina Wood - EHS SpEd Teacher Lacey Jensen - BVHS Language Arts Teacher Fred Beesley - BVHS Science Teacher

David Dawson - PHS/PMS Science Teacher Eric Palmer - PHS Math Teacher Andrea Brinkerhoff - BVE Pre-school Teacher

I have also made the following changes in administrative assignments in the District. Mr. Reynolds will return as the full-time Principal of Panguitch Elementary. Mr. Quarnberg has been assigned the administrative duties at Panguitch Middle School as well as his previous duties in Panguitch High School.

I have been asked how the hiring is conducted in the District. The process starts by the building administrator completing a “Request to Hire” form and submitting to the District for approval.

When the District has verified the funding for the position, the District approves the administrator to move forward with advertising the positions. This is typically done on the School District web page, in the local paper, and notices in various places in the community. Teaching positions are also advertised on the “Teachers-Teachers” web page to increase the candidate pools. When the applications have been received by the building administrator they are screened by the screening committee who are typically the same individuals as the hiring committee. When the committee has selected the candidates they would like to interview based on their credentials, years of experience, and letters of recommendation, interviews are scheduled. The interview committee typically consists of the building principal, teachers, community council members (parents) or anyone who has been asked by the principal to sit on the committee.

The School Board has been very adamant about including parents on all hiring committees.

The administrators have been complying with this expectation. The hiring committee interviews the candidates and scores each candidate based on a rubric provided to the hiring committee. The hiring committee makes a recommendation to the School Board for approval. The School Board has the authority to accept or reject the recommendation of the hiring committee for approval. In the past two years, I have not seen the School Board reject the recommendation of the hiring committee.

It is critical that parents be part of the hiring process for the District. Community Council elections will be held by your local schools. If you would like serve on the Community Councils, please contact your local principal for further information. I would personally like to thank everyone who donated their time to serve on hiring committees in the District to select the new employees in Garfield County School District.

Group Provides Recognition and Support for Wayne Athletes TEASDALE - You may or may not have heard of WAI. Perhaps you have noticed the Athlete of the Week pictures in the paper, but didn’t really know what WAI is?

WAI or Wayne Athletics, Inc. is a non-profit organization based in Teasdale Utah.

WAI started in February of 2011 with the purpose of helping the athletic programs and athletes of Wayne County, as well as businesses. Three of the original five board members are still working to make WAI a household name in Wayne County; Magon Bowling, chairwoman, Kenra Stephenson, treasurer and Lisa Stevens, secretary. “We have been around for two and a half years and people still don’t really know who we are or what we do,” said Lisa Stevens, “We want to change that; even though we are small we want everyone in Wayne County to know that we are here to help in anyway we can.”

In the past year WAI has recognized 230 athletes. The organization has given financial assistance to a group of young wrestlers in Hanksville enabling them to cover tournament expenses; the organization also sponsored a young lady as she traveled to Australia and participated in

the Down Under Sports Tournament. WAI donated over $600.00 to the Wayne High wrestling team to help with travel expenses and $1,000.00 to help the Wayne High track team pay for new uniforms.

“We are small and right now we are building our organization, we can help a little bit at a time now and hopefully in a few years we will be big enough to help in really significant ways.“ stated Kenra Stephenson. The board members would not have been able to help these programs without the help of the Wayne County Special Service District as well as their sponsors from last year’s fundraising program. “The following businesses helped us more than we can say; Hondoo River and Trails in Torrey, Jackson Excavation, Inc. in Bicknell, and Bullhead Sand and Gravel Inc., Garkane Energy and Loa Builders Supply all in Loa, and our platinum donor Stan’s Burger Shak/Chevron is Hanksville.”

Currently WAI is working with Wayne Middle School and applying for a grant to buy much needed sporting equipment, and planning a few small events before the end of the year. “Our main focus is to help build commu-

nity spirit. In small towns like this, most of the entertainment revolves around the youth sports; we want to bring the community together and show our youth that we are proud of them and that we support them.” said Magon Bowling.

The board members also wanted to thank the Wayne County Commissioners past and present for the opportunity to host a fundraising dinner during the Wayne County fair for the last three years. The county purchases all of the supplies and allows WAI to charge per plate. In years past they have asked an athletic team to help them; in return for the help the team is given half of what was made at the dinner. This year WAI offered the opportunity to the Wayne High track team. This will help the team with it’s continuing fundraising efforts. They hope lots of people will come and support the dinner; especially now that they know all of the earnings will go to a good cause, and half will go directly to the track team. The dinner will be held Tuesday August 13 at 5:00 p.m. at the Loa Turner Park; Navajo tacos, brownies and homemade root beer will be served for $2 per plate.

Every1Counts Unforeseen Service Opportunities

By Cynthia Kimball One time, when I was going through airport security, I got pulled aside for my hands to be checked for anything suspicious on them. Well, apparently there was something on them and I was thus pulled into a room where the door was closed behind me along with two TSA women staff.

After they explained what they were going to do, they completely patted down my entire body. And everything that I carried on, that was in my purse and other carry on, was pulled out and screened.

It was the strangest feeling. I felt totally invaded. I guess, though, they had to assume the worst, and that I was a possible terrorist perhaps, until their screening proved otherwise.

It was weird being treated that way. And so I thought, “What could have been on my hands?”

“What could I have possibly touched and where?” “Perhaps this is a mistake or a test?” All these thoughts were racing through my mind. I was even wondering, “Should I communicate with these women?”; “Can I ask questions?” I really wasn’t sure how to behave or react.

“Are you on medication?” one of them finally asked.

“Yes, I am. I have a heart condition.”

“Oh, it’s the nitro,” she says as she holds up my prescription.

“Nitroglycerine, really?”

I am dumbfounded at the findings.

“Yup, there are certain medications that set things off.”

“Oh, wow.” And thank goodness, I thought.

After they finished screening me in that room, they took all my stuff, still spread out in bins, back out to the “regular” screening area where my items were scanned once more. After I eventually got the green light that I was “good to go”, I realized I could have been more service oriented during that whole episode. I even thought that perhaps the only reason I was in that room with those two women was just to be kind to them since, likely, many who do get pulled into additional screening may not be very happy or nice about it.

Perhaps even God placed me in that situation to not only connect with those women, but to see how I would react.

Many times we think of service as visiting, cooking, cleaning, etc., for another.

Yet, we can also serve even in somewhere like a TSA screening room. My experience that day in the airport got me thinking about how creative God is regarding where he needs us to serve. That service is not always “planned”. So, now, regarding future unforeseen experiences, I will work to serve and be kind no matter what the circumstances.

tHe lAuGhiNg pOiNt!!

Night Out

My friend’s wife returned from a tour of duty in the Middle East. To celebrate, he decided to take her out for a night on the town. Proud of her service record, he suggested she wear her uniform.

Not only did a patriotic taxi driver refuse to accept money from them, but an appreciative citizen paid for her meal at the restaurant, and the theater manager upgraded their balcony seats to the orchestra.

At the end of the evening, my friend turned to his wife. “I still get credit for taking you out, right?”

Just Like Mommy

A two and a half year old walked into the bathroom while her mother was putting on make-up. “I’m going to look just like you mommy!” she announced.

“Maybe, when you grow up,” her mother told her.

“No mommy, tomorrow.

I just put on that Oil of Old Lady you always use.”

Picture Frame

The young mother loved the picture frame her five-year-old son bought her for Mother’s Day. She found a photograph of him and replaced the cat photo that came with the frame.

He became upset: “Why are you putting a picture of me in there when I bought you a picture of a cat?”

Hearing Aids

During a medical assessment before moving into a retirement home, a nurse asked my grandparents, “Do you need hearing aids?”

“Yes,” my grandmother answered. “But he doesn’t like his, never wears it and leaves it at home.”

Then she added, “I always carry mine in my purse.”

Wills, Trusts, and More Recordkeeping

by Jeffery J. McKenna

Your estate plan is only as effective as the people you choose to help you carry it out.

Choose wisely and organize your financial information in ways that make carrying out your plans as easy as possible.

Think about it. You maintain a massive amount of information about your life in your head, in your desk, in your file cabinet, and in the box in the attic, etc. Now suppose that you were unable to tell people where everything was kept. Would they be able to find information quickly about your life, homeowners, or health insurance? Your mutual funds? Your pension?

Your credit cards? Your estate planning documents?

We have prepared a tool, to help you keep track of all of your assets, liabilities, and other important information.

This tool is an estate planning binder. By you updating the binder regularly, you will make a dramatic difference in helping others settle your affairs if you become incapacitated or if you were to suddenly die. The binder will also help you when you need this information -- whether you are filing a tax return, making an insurance claim, or even sending out change-of-address notices after a move.

Documents that are difficult or impossible to replace should be stored where the danger of destruction by fire or other accidental means is minimal. A fireproof safe

might be a worthwhile investment, keeping in mind that there may be a delay in gaining access to a safe-deposit box.

Some items on the list, such as your will, should be kept in more than one location. For example, the original might be kept in your safe-deposit box, and a copy with a loved one.

Recordkeeping can simplify so many things for your loved ones, should they need to assist you in organizing your affairs should you become ill, or take over your affairs should you die. It is a valuable tool in keeping track

Answers for this week

Fence Lines

by Ray Conrad

Horse Sense Let’s assume a horse possesses some degree of sense.

I wonder what they think about, standin’ by the fence.

I’m sure they ponder food a lot. They all know how to eat.

They seem to savvy shade and water in the summer heat.

In the cold of winter they grow thick, protective hair.

That’s prob’ly not a brain thing, but, hey, let’s just be fair.

The ones that ain’t been neutered prob’ly dwell on sex a bit, But if some human don’t open a gate, dwellin’ is all they git.

They’re sociable enough to like a buddy horse beside them, But dumb enough to sweat and puff if a human wants to ride them.

I question if their intellect is something I should trust, When I observe their bath technique; rollin’ in the dust.

I’ve never seen one read a book. How boring can that be, But on the other hand they ain’t afflicted with teevee.

Some folks think a horse’s brain is underweight and small, But you don’t see no ponies watchin’ Monday night football.

“Horse Sense”(2003). From Fence Lines, by Ray Conrad, published by Avalanche Creek Productions, 2009.

Sczyelski, my last name, is a mouthful, so I was thrilled when my three-year-old niece learned to spell it.

That is until my cousin said, “You can spell it any way you like; who’ll know if it’s wrong?”

Patient - “Doctor, you’ve got to help me, some mornings I wake up and think I’m Donald Duck, other mornings I think I’m Mickey Mouse.”

The Wayne & Garfield County INSIDER

Eden Gal of Boulder with a few friends. Gal, a native of Israel, believes that fundamental changes in the way humans connect and interact with nature hold the key to a sustainable future.

Local Workshop cont’d from page 1

Permaculture systems frequently utilize animals —cows, and chickens, among others — working in a naturally functioning system to do the work that machines and chemicals generally perform in modern agriculture, Gal explained. Chemical inputs, farm machinery and fuel constitute by far the biggest expenses most farmers and ranchers face, he added.

While emphasizing that solutions are the goal rather than continued focus on the severe challenges facing a growing, hungry world, Gal said that understanding the gravity of the problems such as virtually unrestrained modification of natural genetic strains remains critical.

Regarding genetically modified foods and related genetic research, Gal said, “The consequences or acting like God, and creating entirely new creatures … without us having a full understanding of what we’re doing, is very dangerous.”

Gal grew up in a kibbutz called Eilot in southern Israel, and learned early on in life about sustainable agricultural systems—in one of the dri-

est deserts on Earth. In spite of the extreme heat and scant rainfall that averaged a half inch a year, the community of families there utilized a superefficient drip irrigation system and limited aquifer water to grow everything from mangos to grapes as well as numerous other food crops. Israel has invested extensively in such advanced desert agricultural systems for decades, Gal added.

Melons, mangos, tomatoes, cucumbers, grapes, peppers, dates and a dozen other crops were cultivated, mostly going to markets in Europe, Gal said. The kibbutz contained about 100 acres, a community of about 70 adults and 150 children.

Israeli irrigation and agriculture systems are among the most efficient in the world, he said, and are based both on very old methods – such as water conservation and other agricultural techniques developed by the native Nabatian peoples of the region hundreds of years ago – and cutting-edge technology such as super-efficient drip irrigation and other systems that waste virtually no water but still produce bountiful and diverse

crops in a desert setting.

At the Boulder Mountain Guest Ranch, attendees not only took the core 72-hour Permaculture Design Certification Course developed by Mollison, which includes details on the problems with modern agriculture, but also spent ample time outdoors working to improve garden soils with various biota and vegetation, monitor vegetation growth, develop model grazing plans and create modifications to the ground to hold and conserve water, he said.

The building of human relationships and cooperative endeavor stands out to Gal as one of the most significant aspects of this year’s course and of permaculture in general—humans are integral and vital parts of the agricultural and natural systems with which they seek to work.

The participants “jelled together as a community in two weeks,” he said. “They got very close to each other, working together. And that’s a big part of permaculture, working together. And so creating that mini community over such a short period of time was really exciting.”

Gal has lived in Boulder for more than three years, drawn here by the opportunity to establish True Nature Farm and share his vision of humans living with nature, rather than in conflict with it, finding ways of living sustainably and perhaps more harmoniously on their native planet.

“That was a lifelong dream I had, to create a hands on school that teaches sustainable living and wilderness skills,” he said.

Gal believes that human culture, which arose because of agriculture, and humans living with an intimate connection to nature through agriculture—is fundamental to the whole philosophy behind permaculture.

“It’s permanent culture, not just permanent agriculture,” he said. “We are made up of ecology, we are part of ecology. As long as we think we are separate from nature and outside of nature, nature is going to leave us outside.”

Sorry for the short article but we have been out of town and did not get all the news.

The latest issue of the Boy Scout magazine, Boys Life, has a front page picture and article about the grandson of George and Judy Buckingham, and his troop climbing 14,000’ peaks in Colorado.

For one of his badges Colton, their grandson, wrote to Boys Life about their yearly hike and they got in touch with Alan(their son) to make arrangements to hike up with them the following year with a cameraman. Alan and Colton are in the cover picture and in several other pictures as well as being quoted several times in the article. Thought some of the people who knew Alan and especially David Pollock, who was Alan’s scout master and who presided over his Eagle Ceremony, might be interested. Too bad Jack & Mae Chynoweth are no longer with

The couple is registered at Target and Bed, Bath, and Beyond.

They plan to reside in Logan.

us. They would be so proud.

They loved Alan and were very instrumental in his love for scouting. And Alan has passed on his love of the out of doors to his son. On the front cover Alan Buckingham is the second from the left and Colton, his son, is the second from the right. Colton is seen taping the foot of a fellow scout and Alan and he are both in the picture with everyone. What an adventure this must have been for the scouts, parents, and the magazine folks who went along. Thought the folks who remember George and Judy might be interested.

Most everyone can remember Judy at the first grade teacher at Bryce Valley Elementary for many years and George as a ranger in BCNP. They live in Oregon now and are doing well. Thanks Judy for sharing this information with us.

We had a good visit, then he always brings his big fancy electric keyboard with him, he gave a concert for a couple of hours. That keyboard has more sounds of more musical instruments, bells and whistles than anything I’ve seen in a long time and can he ever play it!

It’s a whole band in itself! Very enjoyable.

I called my good friend, and cousin, Doris Young Gagon, in St. George one day last week, just to talk. Right in the middle of our conversation she said, “Marlene did you know Howard died?” That’s her husband! He died on the 6th of May and I had not heard.

For Your Health Nonprescription Products for Asthma Asthma is a chronic disease of the airways that has no cure. There are several bits of commonsense advice that you should follow to maximize your quality of life and also ensure that your asthma does not get out of control, which could endanger your health.

Do You Have Asthma?

The first question to answer is whether you really have asthma. The symptoms of asthma are wheezing, coughing that is worse in the morning or at night, tightness of the chest, and shortness of breath. However, it is more complicated than this. Some people with asthma will not have all of these symptoms. Further, there are other medical conditions that cause symptoms that mimic asthma’s, such as a sinus infection or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). You cannot decide whether you have asthma and treat it yourself.

Rather, you must make an appointment with a physician. Your physician will perform an examination, order the appropriate tests, and determine whether you have asthma or not.

Can You Treat Asthma on Your Own? Suppose your physician has diagnosed asthma. Can you control asthma on your own without heeding the input from your physician? Absolutely not. Proper control of asthma is extremely complicated. Your physician can help you meet the following goals to maximize your health: 1. Prevent the symptoms of asthma before they occur, including shortness of breath and chronic cough.

2. Make sure you do not need to use inhalers for quick relief from symptoms very often.

3. Keep your lungs functioning as well as they can.

4. Allow you to carry out your normal daily activities and also to sleep all night without problems.

5. Prevent asthma attacks of such severity that you are forced to go to the emergency room and/or be hospitalized for care.

What About Nonprescription Products?

From the above discussion, it should be apparent that the best medical advice for asthma treatment is to use only those drugs that are prescribed by your physician. However, you have probably seen advertisements for nonprescription asthma medications such as Primatene, Bronkaid, and Asthmanefrin. What is their role?

Those caring for asthma patients can consult a well-accepted set of guidelines for asthma treatment written by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). The expert panel that created these guidelines recommends safer and more effective prescription products for asthma and does not believe that nonprescription products have any role in asthma treatment.

If you are using your prescription asthma medications as recommended, you should never add OTC products to the regimen without checking with your physician first. This will prevent unwanted side effects and will also ensure that the more effective prescription medications work as directed.

If you decline to get your prescriptions filled and elect to use the nonprescription products instead, you have made a risky decision. They do not work as well, so your asthma may not be controlled. They are less safe to use, and may cause unwanted side effects. Overall, it is far better to follow your physician’s advice and use your prescribed medications as directed.

The Wayne & Garfield County INSIDER

WEDDINGS

TORREY NewZ Adus Dorsey

Excitement has been at extreme levels this week in Torrey, tension has been building to the point of near spontaneous combustion as Tour of Utah organizers enter into the final stretch in their preparations for what has been billed as the “Crown Jewel” in Utah Racing. Tour Director Todd Hagman was in town on Saturday to discuss duties, answer questions, give an overview of the race and fire up the volunteers that have signed up to man stations all around Torrey town.

Although by the time this report hits newsstands and post office boxes the race will be old news, but during this writing the goose bumps are a plenty and there is one person in particular that deserves all the credit and that would be Nycole Durfey, Wayne County’s Director of Tourism.

Nycole has worked tirelessly to make this event as successful as can be and should be congratulated for her efforts, in my eyes she is royalty and if I knew how to curtsy I would.

Other folks like Bart Brian of South Central Communications also deserve a lot of credit. Because of Bart and the South Central boys the world will be brought to Wayne County’s doorstep via the Internet and top-notch telecommunications graciously provided and sponsored by South Central Communications.

Also to be congratulated are the Wayne County Commissioners for their continued interest and support for this project and the businesses that have supported this large undertaking, and the volunteers, without them this could not have happened.

On Thursday lightning lighted up the skies above Thousand Lake Mountain, north of Torrey Town. Then came the deluge that raised the blood pressure of Torrey Town officials to dangerous levels, levels that would have made Brett blush.

Floodwater damage sustained in the Sand Creek

Adus Dorsey

Jackson Excavation at work on the Sand Creek drainage to repair the Torrey Town water system after Thursday’s deluge.

drainage was substantial, so much so that Jackson Excavation personnel and heavy equipment had to be immediately mobilized.

Torrey Town’s water Supervisor Chad Williams leaped into action with the speed of a Jackrabbit being chased by a pack of Polaris four wheelers, turning off valves, diverting mountain spring water, climbing in and out of barrel enclosures faster than Superman.

Unbeknownst to the folks connected to the Torrey Town water system there was no water coming into the tanks all day on Friday. With the recent new addition of the Rainbow water storage tank and Super Chad’s quick action water usage was uninterrupted.

Once the full flow of Sand Creek was diverted around the area of water line damage and in a hole the size and deep as Wayne County’s swimming pool new pipe and parts were gathered and installed. After sanitation measures were undertaken and a system flush-

implemented water began to flow into the tanks again about 7 p.m. and all was well again in Chad’s world so to speak.

At this time the Fremont River Ranger District, Fish Lake National Forest is seeking comment on the yet to be installed Torrey chlorination system. A system that when installed will be used intermittently to safely and scientifically sanitize Torrey’s water system in the event of high water flows or system disturbance when some contamination does enter into the water system, like the major event that took place on Friday. Had the chlorination system been in service during the system disturbance on Friday, calculated and immediate sanitization of Torrey Town’s water system would have taken place and the archaic method of dosing the system by guesswork would have been unnecessary.

Nonetheless system repairs were expertly made, lines flushed and checked, and the water system was put

Page 7

back in service before anyone even knew something had happened thanks to Superman and all around good guy Chad Williams, and the guys of Jackson Excavation.

As part of Entrada’s Saturday night series local legend Larry Estridge took to the stage and mesmerized a crowd of plenty with his personality and wildly popular guitar skills. Larry, a rather unassuming sort of guy that can be often seen leading horses down the back streets of Torrey and is as good at pounding out art as he is pounding out guitar tunes and song lyrics.

For any unsuspecting observer that may have stumbled upon Larry’s Entrada Saturday evening performance surely was caught off guard by a plethora of guitar talent in small town USA, other wise known as Torrey Town or as locals call it, home.

Larry’s music style is reminiscent of what you might hear walking down a crowded Bourbon Street late at night in New Orleans, or delicately drifting from a back alley blues pub in Chicago where the late great Satchmo might have once played.

Larry is the type of easygoing guy that immediately puts you at ease in his presence, delivers to your door homemade Apple Cider at Christmas and always seems to be wearing an infectious smile.

A Larry Estridge concert is a place you want to take your guitar to in hopes that she will learn some good habits and hopefully teach you some too, in return Larry dedicated his Saturday night performance to his good friend Terry Brogan that recently passed away and is now surely making his unique presence known in the here after. RIP Terry, my guess is heaven has a new harp player, jam on brother.

Last Saturday we attended a volunteer meeting for those that were helping out with the Tour of Utah bike race. There was a fairly large group and each has a job to make the race successful. This is an exciting event and I hope you got to take it in, either on Tuesday or Wednesday. This will show off our area to the world, they will be following the race in a helicopter recording the event along Highway 12 and it will be aired in our Country, as well as Europe, where bike racing is King.

There are 34 countries represented, with130 riders and 18 teams. 7 of the Teams were at the Tour de France.

On Wednesday morning there were over 1,000 support team people and about 80 of them will have stayed in Panguitch. They kept changing the time on Tuesday, when the race would come through Panguitch and it went from 11:30 to after 1:00, which is great for me, I get off work at 12:30 out at the Bryce Canyon Park, so I will get to see most of the race from my car. The people putting on this event have fallen in love with our All American Roadway and want to come back again, however it won’t before 2015. Many thanks to all of those that stepped up to

help with this event.

Tour of Utah starts at Brian Head on Tuesday, comes down highway 143 through Panguitch on their way to Hwy. 14 and on down to Cedar City, where they will spend the night. The racers were transported to Panguitch, where they raced to Torrey. From Torrey they will be transported to Richfield for another leg of the race. It is not a continuous race like the ones in Europe.

This weekend the 9th and 10th there is a high school rodeo, at the Triple C, it is the first state rodeo of the year and it gets the high school rodeo season off to a great start.

It’s hard to believe but the County Fair is only one week away, there is a ton of fun things going on. Get out your animals and groom them up, along with your arts and crafts. The County Fair has it all to keep you entertained.

Saturday’s lunch will be on the County Commissioners and it will be hosted by the Panguitch Lions Club, at the Park Pavilion.

Saturday evening it will be the 8th annual Lions Club Demolition Derby. The Lions will be giving away $5,000 in prize money this year. New this year will be a pickup truck event and it will be during the intermission. Tickets are on sale at the City Hall and the County building,. The tickets are.$7.00 pre race sale and $10.00 at the gate.

August has a lot of events going on and finishes off the month with the ATV rally.

This rally gets bigger and bet-

ter each year. They are offering 14 different rides, all over our ATV paradise. Some are 100 miles long, but they come in all different lengths and ability. Cost includes a chance to win a new ATV, these trails are well thought out and it should make for a fun weekend.

Our new Dollar Store opens today, get on down and check it out for the good bargains that are being offered.

This is a fine addition to our town and to the County.

We went to see the Lone Ranger on Friday evening.

The reviews on the movie were terrible, but we were told it was a fun movie, so we went. It is a really good movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I have not heard one person that didn’t think it was really worth seeing.

Tonight may be the last night for the Lone Ranger, so don’t miss it. Talked to the owner of the Gem Theater, about the changes that are coming to the theaters, they are changing out the 70mm films, (that have been used forever), to digital and this is expected to run the movie houses over $100,000. He said that he has all ready ordered the change over. He plans on keeping the movie house open throughout the winter. The Gem Theater is really a gem for Panguitch, with TV programming so bad, this is a fun night out. The Gem shows first run movies and it is a whole lot cheaper than going over to Cedar City.

Rick and Robbie Irish’s, daughter Kristy from Pilot Point, Texas, brought her

family, Johnny, Irwin, Jaden, Kassy, Dillin, Ganna to visit the family. Their son Jadin was going to Cedar City to attend E.F.Y. for the week.

Warren Evans a cousin from Mountain View, Texas, also was here for E.F.Y. We are losing a couple of long time Panguitch residents.

Sal Luca and his Bride Josephine have sold their home and will be honeymooning in a 5th wheeler. There are a lot of places in the country that they haven’t seen and they are out to see the world. The Luca’s still have a home in Vegas that they will stay at when they need a break.

Bret and Lisa Taylor are moving to St. George, with their family. Lisa has a teaching job in St. George. Bret has been working in St. George for some time so he won’t be making that trip everyday. The Luca’s and the Taylor’s are bright spots in Panguitch and will be truly missed.

I helped take a bus over to Denver for the Bryce Canyon transit last week. If Hwy. 12 is an All American Roadway, I 70 has got to be an All American Interstate. It’s been some time since I made that drive, but from Salina to Denver is one beautiful drive. I haven’t been anywhere in the U.S. that compares.

School starts soon, so get your kids registered. The preschool is filling up fast and can only take so many students.

They have a class for 3 and 4 years, with Head Start closing these classes are in demand.

The Outsider

by Bob Phillips

Backroads Travels Out On the Edge The old silver Subaru was whining a little more loudly now it seemed, as it relentlessly sought to shift into a high gear that no longer existed.

From the still snowy mountains of western Montana to this distant point at the base of the Vermillion Cliffs near Lee’s Ferry, Arizona, the ’89 Subaru coupe had carried me in spite of an ill-advised towing of the otherwise road-worthy vehicle a month earlier, a foolish stunt which had blown out both high gear and reverse.

I had maybe 20 bucks left in my pocket by the time I arrived at Lee’s Ferry Lodge in June 2006, but I successfully made the desperate trip of some 1,100 miles to a new job in new surroundings. The Subie wouldn’t go faster than about 45 miles per hour the entire trip, although I may have pushed it to 50 in my impatience a few times. But I made it, never got pulled over, and subsequently drove that little car all over the region, from the Circle Cliffs to rough little roads on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

No reverse. No high

gear. Otherwise in excellent running condition. Well, Bob Dylan once said, “When you ain’t got nothing, you got nothing to lose.” That crippled car helped me to really start discovering this area in spite of limitations that I’m sure would have stopped people of sounder mind in their tracks.

My taste for risk and adventure back then was high. It was a time of thin funds, great uncertainty, and even greater discovery out exploring the spectacular secrets of the broken, ancient Colorado Plateau.

It was a time for fresh eyes, fresh thinking, fresh beginnings, and fresh realizations about where I was and where I’d been, if not so much where I might be going.

My native state of Montana is also a very spectacular place. It, too, holds many secrets in its wild, rugged, powerful landscape. Yet those who grow up in special places sometimes lose their freshness of vision, that state of mind and sensitivity to beauty shaped by the profundity of the land around them. I know because I did.

I’ll always love Montana, and I’ll always consider it my home. But life allots us only so many years upon this wondrous planet – at some point, sometimes, you just can’t find what you’re looking for amidst all too familiar surroundings.

When I was at Lee’s Ferry I used to drive the old Subie up House Rock Road to US 89 and then to the wild Cottonwood Canyon Road, up to Highway 12 and out at last to the Circle Cliffs. I did this on many occasions.

And I camped beneath the stars, without a whole lot of money but with a whole starry universe to ponder. I played my old guitar under the full moon while coyotes sang along. I hiked mesas and canyons and studied maps and just sat in the shade looking at the incredible sandstone formations. Then I headed home the same way, many miles in the darkness back to the lodge and a lowpaying job that nonetheless provided me a trailer to stay in and one meal per shift to keep me going.

But I kept coming back to the Circle Cliffs, and driving the backroads of the Monument.

Montana still has big beautiful mountains, and troutfilled rivers, and wilderness, and lakes and a whole lifetime of memories that include family, friends, jobs, successes, failures, struggles and ecstatic

moments of wonder in some of the most wild and beautiful places on Earth. It also has too many cloudy days, and winters that just hang on way too long into spring. But when I return to my native state, my eyes are a lot fresher than they used to be, and my appreciation deeper for that special place where I grew up.

Just because a person lives amid stunning natural splendor doesn’t mean they always really see it, or appreciate it. That’s sometimes true for natives of this place, as well as “transplants,” and it’s certainly true for many visitors who find themselves unable to slow down long enough, and detach from their haste well enough, to begin to open up to the power of the land they’ve come so far to visit.

Vacations are too short, I suppose, and so is life for that matter. I admit that I don’t always succeed in looking out upon the wonders of this place with fresh eyes and a grateful heart. But it’s worth the effort, every day.

Perhaps you need to be a little closer to the edge to get the best view. Maybe you need to travel with no reverse, looking in the rear view mirror only often enough so you don’t forget where you’ve been.

Bob Phillips, a writer who resides in Boulder, is a native of Montana and a veteran of the backroads, both there and here.

Tips for a Safe Archery Hunt If you’re an archery hunter, you can stay safe during this year’s archery hunts by following a few, simple rules.

Utah’s general archery buck deer and elk hunts kick off Aug. 17.

“Every year, we receive reports of archery hunters injuring themselves,” says Gary Cook, Wildlife Recreation Program coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources.

Two practices lead to most of the accidents: not being safe in tree stands or having arrows out of your quiver when you shouldn’t.

Cook provides the following advice to help you avoid these accidents: • If you’re going to hunt from a tree stand, make sure it’s large enough to hold your weight before you start climbing the tree.

To lessen the chance that you’ll fall while climbing the tree, leave your bow, arrows and other equipment on the ground, and attach a haul line to them. Also, be sure to use an approved safety harness (also called a fall arrest system), and always secure yourself to the tree as soon as you leave the ground.

“Once you reach your stand and have attached your safety harness to your final location,” Cook says, “then use your haul line to lift your gear to you.”

Cook also recommends using a portable tree stand, rather than building a “permanent” one. “Permanent tree stands can deteriorate and become unsafe,” he says. “Also, they clutter the landscape. And you can damage or kill the tree by hammering nails into it.”

If you’re hunting on a national forest or on land managed by the Bureau of Land Management in Utah, you’ll have to use a portable tree stand—permanent tree stands are illegal.

• Until you’re ready to shoot, keep your arrows in a quiver that has a hood on it that covers the broadheads. “One of the most common accidents we see is archers jabbing themselves or other hunters while carrying arrows in their hand or nocked on their bow,” Cook says. “Keep your arrows in a quiver until you’re ready to shoot.”

State law requires that arrows be kept in a case while the arrows are in or on a vehicle. When you’re outside your vehicle, it’s up to you to protect yourself.

More tips In addition to the safety tips, Cook provides advice on getting prepared for the sea-

son, safety items to remember while you’re in the field and information on tracking animals and preserving their meat.

• Preparation o Equipment checks – make sure the laminations on your bow are not flaking or separating and that the strings on your bow are not fraying.

If you have a compound bow, make sure the pulleys and cables are in good shape. Also, make sure your arrow’s spline (the stiffness of the arrow’s shaft) matches your bow’s draw weight. If your bow’s draw weight produces more force than your arrow can handle, your arrow will probably fly off target when you shoot. o Broadhead sharpening – when you sharpen your broadheads, take your time and be careful. Your broadheads need to be razor sharp. But make sure you don’t cut yourself while sharpening them. o Practice shooting as much as possible. o Obtain written permission from private landowners before hunting on their property or using their property to access public land. o Know the boundaries of limited-entry units and other restricted areas in the area you’re going to hunt. o Take the DWR’s Bowhunter Education class.

You can learn more about the class, and sign up to take it, at www.wildlife.utah.gov/huntereducation.

• Never take a shot at a deer or an elk that is beyond the maximum, effective range you’re comfortable shooting at. Also, before releasing your arrow, make sure of your target and what’s beyond it.

• After the shot o Watch the animal and determine the direction it took.

Then, go to the spot where you last saw the animal and find your arrow. If there’s blood on it, and if you have a compass, take a bearing on the direction the animal went. Then wait 30 minutes before tracking it. If you track the animal too soon, you can spook it into running.

If you wait at least 30 minutes before tracking it, most of the deer and elk you shoot will be found dead within a reasonable distance of your starting point. o When you track an animal, look for blood not only on the ground but on the brush too.

If you begin to lose the animal’s trail, tie a piece of biodegradable paper near the last blood spot. Then, search for the animal’s trail by walking a circular pattern out from the paper. The paper will serve as a marker that will let you know where you started.

Also, tying paper at the locations of the last three or four spots you see, and then standing away from the paper and looking at the paper trail, can help you visualize the direction the animal took. o Once you’ve found the animal, check to see if its eyes are open. If they’re not, the animal probably isn’t dead. If its eyes are open, touch one of the eyes with a long stick. Doing so will keep you out of harm’s way if the animal is still alive.

Once the animal is dead, field dress and cool its meat immediately. It’s usually warm during the archery hunt. The warm temperatures can cause the meat to spoil quickly.

Cook also provides tips for reducing conflicts with landowners and those who don’t hunt: • Find access points to your hunting area well in advance of the season.

• If access requires crossing private land, you must obtain written permission from the landowner. If you can’t obtain written permission, find another access point.

• Before you start hunting, make sure you’re well beyond the minimum distances you must maintain from roads and dwellings. If you’re going to hunt in Salt Lake County, please remember that the county’s hunting restrictions are more restrictive than the rest of Utah. Read the 2013 Utah Big Game Field Regulations Guidebook closely for more information. The free guidebook is available at www.wildlife. utah.gov/guidebooks.

• Avoid hunting in areas that a lot of people use. Also, whenever possible, avoid hunting near heavily used trails.

Cook says most Utahns choose not to hunt. “But they support hunting as long as hunters are legal, safe and ethical,” he says. “When hunters don’t behave that way, how people feel about hunting can take a turn for the worse.”

Extended archery areas If you want to hunt the Wasatch Front, Ogden or Uintah Basin extended archery areas, please remember the following: • Before hunting any of these areas, you must complete the DWR’s Archery Ethics Course. The free course will be available online at www. wildlife.utah.gov/huntereducation/extended_archery.

• While hunting in an extended archery area, you must carry two items with you: Your 2013 general archery buck deer permit and your Archery Ethics Course certificate. If you’re a member of the Dedicated

Hunter program, you must also carry your Dedicated Hunter certificate of registration.

For more information, call the nearest Division of Wildlife Resources office or the DWR’s Salt Lake City office at 801538-4700.

Coping with Expensive Kids Extracurricular Activities

Red Steagall

by Jason Alderman

When budgeting for back-to-school expenses, parents generally include routine fare like clothes, school supplies and maybe a new backpack. But if your kids participate in extracurricular activities, whether it’s sports, music lessons or art classes, you could be on the hook for hundreds – or even thousands – of dollars in additional expenses throughout the year if you’re not careful.

As parents, we hesitate to stifle our children’s athletic and creative urges, especially when it can be so difficult to drag them away from their iPods and Xboxes. But sometimes you’ve just got to step back, weigh the different options available and decide what you can afford without upsetting your other financial goals and responsibilities.

You’ll face tough questions like, “Is it better for my child’s future to spend $500 on a soccer day camp he’ll really enjoy or to invest the money in a 529 College Savings Plan?”

My wife and I commonly wrestle with these types of questions. For example, last fall our son had outgrown his baseball equipment and was begging us for a new bat that cost $125. A year later, it sits on the sidelines because he prefers to use a friend’s bat.

(We’re not complete pushovers, however: When he recently obsessed over a $200 pair of high-tech gym shoes, we said no.)

Among the best advice I’ve received from other parents is, when your kids are exploring new activities, don’t overcommit your time or money until you know whether they’ll stick with it

or quickly move on to the next thing.

For example, before you sink a small fortune into private swimming lessons, start small with a summer class at your local Y or recreation center. If your kid shows a genuine aptitude and doesn’t balk at long hours of practice, then you can explore more costly alternatives. Just remember who’ll be driving to practice and out-of-town swim meets; in other words, make sure you can honor the time commitment before signing on.

Here are a few tips for prioritizing extracurricular events and keeping your costs down: • Focus on one sport or activity per kid, per season, especially if they involve multiple practice sessions or games per week.

• Form carpools with other parents. You’ll save gas money and time, especially if your kids are practicing at different locations.

• Learn how much equipment and instruction the sport requires. Some, like soccer and basketball can be relatively inexpensive; while others, like horseback riding, golf and ice skating involve expensive equipment or facility rental time.

• Rent or buy used sport-

ing equipment (or musical instruments) until you’re sure they’ll stick with the activity. Visit Play It Again Sports stores, online ad sites like Craigslist and yard sales.

• Seek out or form a sports equipment exchange in your community where families can donate outgrown or cast-off equipment and uniforms for others to use.

• It’s probably better to invest in new safety gear, like helmets and masks, than to buy it used – and potentially damaged. The same goes for items like shoes or baseball gloves that become molded to a child’s body – unless they were hardly used.

Sometimes the cost of an elective program is worth making sacrifices elsewhere in your budget. Our daughter loves theater arts, so we decided it was worth shaving our vacation budget to send her to theater camp. She’ll make new friends and hone her dramatic and social skills in an environment that public school just can’t duplicate.
