Tourism Success and Challenges to be Discussed in Byway 12 Meeting BOULDER - The Scenic Byway 12 Committee will hold their next bi-monthly meeting in the Boulder Town Hall on August 18, 2015 at 1pm. The public is welcome to join the meeting and are invited to attend. This meeting will include a discussion of the success of tourism in recent years as one of the items for presentation and discussion. While the growth in tourism and the impacts of that growth to the local economy are well documented and measured, the question for consideration will be the impacts of our success on the experience of visiting and living here. Earlier this summer a regional meeting was held in
Richfield where tourism marketing organizations and public land managers from across southern Utah addressed the same subject. That forum was organized by leaders in Grand County in response to overcrowding in Arches National Park. On one hand you find tourism businesses enjoying increased revenues while on the other hand you have public lands managers looking to relieve the stresses that millions of visitors create on the natural and recreational resources visitors come here to enjoy.

Panguitch Returns Yet Another National Little Britches Rodeo Champ PANGUITCH - Fourteen year old McClain Miller, of Panguitch, has returned from the National Little Britches Rodeo finals as the latest individual NLBRA event champion fielded by Panguitch. Miller won the world championship in junior boys bull riding during the event, which took place in Pueblo, Colorado on July 20-25, 2015. Miller won two out of three rounds for the championship, among approximately 30 other competitors. "There was a first go, a second go, and a short go, and I rode in the first go and the short go. To place, you have to
ride for 6 seconds in the junior boys," said McClain Miller. When asked how it felt to win a bull riding championship, Miller said, "It was cool." Miller's mother, Jessica Miller, said McClain started out riding sheep as a toddler, moved up to calves and is now riding bulls. He has ridden in several other rodeos, such as the Little Britches franchise events held in Panguitch, Salina and Hurricane, and at the Bryce Canyon Rodeo, and has made short go at the national Little Britches finals several years in a row. Last year, he made the short go in bull riding ending up 15th in the world standings.

Michael Chapdelaine will perform at the DUP Schoolhouse in Torrey on Friday, August 21 at 7pm. TEASDALE - Legendary American guitarist, Michael Chapdelaine will give a free concert, 7:00PM, Friday, August 21, at the DUP Schoolhouse, Main Street, Torrey. It will be the final concert in Utah Classical Guitar's 2015 Wayne County series. "We're ending the season with a big bang and hope individuals in the community will be inspired to provide financial support for next year's concert series," said Jon Yerby, president of Utah Classical Guitar, the cultural non-profit which supports classical guitar performance and education throughout the state. Among the ways to support the series are memberships in Utah Classical Guitar and donations to the organization, which is registered as a 501(c)(3) non-profit. Chapedelaine is the only guitarist ever to win First Prize in the world's top competitions in both the Classical and Fingerstyle genres: the Guitar Foundation of America International Classical Guitar Competition and the National Fingerstyle Championship at the Walnut Valley Bluegrass Festival in Winfield, Kansas. His performances, played on both steel string and classical guitars, include musical styles ranging from blues to Bach to country to
rhythm 'n' blues. A reviewer for Acoustic Guitar magazine wrote "... Chapdelaine's beautiful tone is the nearest to Segovia's that I can recall." Chapdelaine is Professor of Music and head of guitar studies at the University of New Mexico. He has performed extensively on four continents and given master classes in China, Thailand, Malaysia, Peru, Venezuela, Taiwan, Indonesia, and at major educational institutions throughout the US. The August 21 concert in Torrey is being supported in part by a grant from the Western States Arts Federation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Utah Arts Council.

Washington County Fair Aug. 12-15. The booth will include fun giveaways, photo booth, and a chance to win a Kohl’s gift card for signing a pledge not to drive distracted or let others drive distracted. Kids, teens, and families are encouraged to stop by the booth. Aimed specifically at empowering younger children, Speak Up! allows kids to have a voice in their own safety, and plants seeds that will take effect when the next generation gets behind the wheel. “I have five kids and I’m always running all over the place,” said Haley Warner, the Henson’s daughter. “I understand that it’s a huge temptation to look at a text when you hear that phone ding. But, when I think of everything we do every day as parents to protect our kids and keep them safe, why would I put them in a highspeed car and then close my eyes and turn off my brain?” The average time it takes to look at a cell phone is an estimated 5 seconds, which may seem insignificant, but in a car traveling 55 mph, that is enough time to travel the length of a football field. “What we want everyone to realize is it’s just not worth it! Nothing is that important and those few seconds can change your life forever,” said Warner. Byway 12 Meeting Cont'd from page 1

ments, and forests in Garfield and Wayne Counties have experienced increases in visitation and a challenge managing the seasonal peaks in visitation, our area has not reached the same level of overcrowding seen in Grand County. If growth in visitation continues at the pace seen over the last several years, we could reach the point where visitors and residents feel that their personal experience is diminished. One of the six goals of the Scenic Byway 12 Committee is to, “Balance the impacts of projected usage with the impacts to local communities.” With this goal in mind the Committee invites members of the communities to join the dis-
Seeking to curb the tide of injury and death related to distracted driving, a statewide law went into effect May 2014 making it illegal to manipulate a cell phone while driving. Still the incidence of accidents has continued to increase and the age-group who has the proven most susceptible are drivers under the age of 20. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that younger, tech-savvy drivers make up 27 percent of distracted drivers in fatal crashes, and they also make up the largest portion of distracted drivers. Possibly more alarming is in a poll by the Ad Council 42 percent of this age demographic said they are very/somewhat confident that they can safely text while driving. “We want kids to grow up seeing this as a danger, and so we need to start before they can drive,” said Warner. Ultimately, along with educating the public about the dangers of texting and driving, the Henson family is pushing for Utah legislation to follow suit with the 14 other states who have passed hands-free phone laws while driving. “I understand that we don’t like to be told what to do. I don’t like to be told what to do,” said Henson. “But when our actions take away other’s freedoms, and other’s lives, then it’s the right thing to do.” —Amber Rich cussion at the local level and to weigh-in on the question of how to maintain this important balance. By taking up this discussion now, the Scenic Byway 12 Committee hopes to stimulate ideas and plans in response to the challenges millions of visitors bring when they come to enjoy our extraordinary natural, scenic, and recreational resources. An anticipated outcome from the discussion in the Boulder meeting will be to identify potential impacts related to overcrowding so that positive solutions can be developed and implemented.

Glen Canyon Officials Urge Caution Following Release of Contaminants from Colorado Mine
PAGE, AZ - Contaminated wastewater released from a mine on the Animas River in Colorado is expected to arrive at Lake Powell via the San Juan River sometime early next week. While contaminant levels and impacts anticipated at Lake Powell are not yet understood, as a precautionary measure, the National Park Service at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is encouraging visitors to avoid drinking, swimming or recreating on the San Juan River within Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and on the San Juan River arm of Lake Powell until further notice. Most river sediments will settle out of the water when the river current slows at Lake Powell, as is illustrated by the
sediment deltas at the mouths of all rivers entering the lake. Even if all of the contaminants do not settle out of the water at the San Juan River sediment delta, because of the extremely slow rate of movement down the 40-mile San Juan River arm of Lake Powell, at this time the alert is not being issued for the entire lake. Some impacts to natural resources in the San Juan River and the lake are anticipated as contaminants settle into the sediment. Impacts will be monitored by the park. Those planning to recreate in the area should monitor the situation as more information becomes available. —Glen Canyon National Recreation Area

Tips for a Safe Archery Hunt
Bucks on the Paunsaugunt Archers 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. 15. Kirk Smith, Hunter Education coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources, says every year, he receives reports of archery hunters injuring themselves. He says most of the accidents are caused by archers doing one of two things: not being safe in tree stands or having arrows out of their quiver, before they’re ready to shoot. To help you avoid these accidents, Smith provides the following advice: If you’re going to hunt from a tree stand, make sure the tree is big enough to hold your weight. “Don’t climb the tree unless you’re certain it will hold your weight,” he says. 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). Make sure to secure yourself to the tree as soon as you leave the ground. “Once you reach your stand,” Smith says, “attach your safety harness to your final location. Then, use your haul line to lift your gear to you.” Smith encourages you to not build a “permanent” tree stand. Instead, use a portable stand. “Overtime,” he says, “permanent tree stands can deteriorate and become unsafe. And they clutter the landscape. Also, you can damage or kill trees by hammering nails into them.” 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 that covers the broadheads. Smith says one of the most common accidents he sees is archers jabbing themselves or other hunters while carrying arrows in their hand or nocked on
Greg Sheehan
their bow string. “Until you’re ready to shoot,” he says, “keep your arrows in a quiver.” State law requires that arrows be kept in a case while the arrows are in or on a vehicle. In addition to the safety tips, Smith provides advice on preparing for the hunt, safety items to remember while you’re in the field, and information on how to track animals and care for game meat. • Equipment checks - make sure the laminations on your bow are not flaking or separating. And make sure 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. • 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. • Practice shooting as much as possible. Use the same broadheads you’ll use during the hunt. • Obtain written permission from private landowners before hunting on their property or using their property to access public land. • Know the boundaries of limited-entry units and other restricted areas in the area you’re going to hunt. • 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 range you’re comfortable shooting at. Also, before you release your arrow, make sure of your target and what’s beyond it. After the shot • Watch the animal and determine the direction it took. Then, go to the spot where you last saw the ani-
mal, 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. • 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 blood 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. • 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. Touching one of the eyes with a long stick 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. Temperatures are usually warm during the archery hunt. The warm temperatures can cause the meat to spoil quickly. Smith 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 2015 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. Smith says most Utahns choose not to hunt. But they support hunting as long as hunters are legal, safe and ethical. “When hunters don’t behave that way,” he says, “how people feel about hunting can take a turn for the worse.” Extended archery areas: If you want to hunt the Ogden, Wasatch Front, West Cache 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 is available at www.wildlife. utah.gov/extendedarchery. While hunting in an extended archery area, you must carry two items with you: your 2015 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 801-538-4700. —Utah Division of Wildlife Resources

Utah Division of Arts & Museums Now Accepting Exhibition Proposals for the Rio and Alice Galleries SALT LAKE CITY Utah Arts & Museums’ Rio and Alice galleries are now accepting proposals for visual art exhibitions during January-July of 2016. Proposals are due September 1, 2015. The Rio & Alice Galleries, in Salt Lake City, were created as a service to Utah artists. They provide free venues for emerging and established artists to collaborate on exhibits and engage the community through art making and dialogue. Both galleries participate in the monthly Salt Lake Gallery Stroll and host public receptions on Gallery Stroll evenings. The galleries welcome proposals from artists, arts organizations, and independent curators. These include both solo exhibitions and small group shows of two to eight artists or larger curated/juried exhibits. All mediums are accepted and all work must be original. We are also excited to announce that we recently received a large grant to purchase equipment aiding in the display of new media works including, video and audio. Exhibitions have been a program of the state since 1899. Utah Arts & Museums’ will have exhibited the work of over 125 Utah artists in 2014 as a part of this program. Local artist, Karen Horne states the Rio gallery is “an essential resource for the local arts community in several ways. It offers a flexible, expansive space for Utah Arts & Museums to present the Annual State shows of Utah art. In addition, the size and professional quality of the space makes it attractive to lo-

What is a Voted Board Local Levy?
Wayne School District is proposing a tax increase by asking Wayne County residents to pass a “Voted Board Local Levy.” This levy is one avenue by which local school boards can raise revenue for use in the maintenance and operations of the school district. The maintenance and operations portion of school district budgets supports all instructional aspects of district operations. Unlike a Truth-in-Taxation hearing held by the Board to announce a tax increase in the Capital Board Levy, the Board Voted Local Levy requires the vote of the patrons of the district. This vote must be on the official ballot and voted on in the November general election. Wayne School District has never asked its patrons to pass a voted board local levy before so the revenue requested in this proposal will help with the loss of funds as a result of a steady decline in enrollment over the past five years. This revenue will help fund and replace necessary instructional resources that have been eliminated or reduced over the past few years. By raising revenue through this “Voted Board Local Levy,” the state guarantees a proportional matching dollar amount. For every two dollars raised locally, the state guarantee provides about a dollar in matching funds. Please visit the Wayne School District web site for more information. School district administration and the School Board will be providing further information as preparations are made for the November election. —Superintendent Burke Torgerson
Wayne School District Preschool Enrollment
Date: August 24th, 2015 (Loa Elementary Back to school night) Time: 4:00 to 6:00 Open House Place: Loa Elementary Wayne School District is implementing a researched based preschool curriculum “We Can” I am so excited to being using this new curriculum. It is amazing and I have seen great results from this curriculum. “We Can” was developed to serve all Pre-K children, We Can is a proven, evidenced-based, early learning solution that supports the certified teacher—addressing key foundational skills in the Common Core State Standards and other state standards for kindergarten. The robust, multidisciplinary curriculum provides a clear roadmap for early childhood success. We Can integrates assessment with instruction and offers teachers multiple opportunities to observe children, identify their capabilities and needs, and monitor their progress. “We Can” curriculum includes a skills scope and sequence developed from research and best practices and aligned to all state standards. The content and skills are presented in thematic units that contain daily lessons plans. The content is presented in an ascending order, from easy to difficult, so that learning makes sense to children.

WCGYB Travels to Las Vegas Opening Showdown LAS VEGAS - After a few losses and with a month break from tournaments the Wayne County Girls Youth Basketball went to work utilizing the month incorporating hard 6 am practices which would soon become part of their daily summer rituals. Playing with confidence and strength WCGYB came out strong in their first game against Play it Forward Athletics. Kassidy Ellett, a 5'3" incoming junior led the way with 4 three pointers which helped to give her 21 points, 5 steals, and 4 assists. Courtney Jackson added 14 more as well as Samantha Crane with 10 more, Hannah Morrill with 8, McKenna Brian adding 6 more points and Quinsee Ellett hitting her first three pointer to add to the 48 point lead that gave Wayne their first win in the tournament. The Wayne team was reunited with their strong post player Samantha Knutson, daughter of Kevin and Misty Knutson, and her younger sister Kortney. Samantha came out adjusting quickly to the girls bringing down 6 rebounds and scoring 4 points. (WCGYB 59 PIFA 11) The second game was against the quick Crusaders, again Kassidy Ellett came out strong with 3 steals in the first few minutes of the game to add to her 6 steals in the game and to give her team some quick points. WCGYB quickly took the lead by 12 and with Kassidy having four three pointers again to add to her other points giving her 18 points kept the lead until the second half where they exchanged the lead with the Crusaders. Courntey Jackson added to her aggressiveness with 14 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals. The young Wayne team ended up losing the mental edge in the second half losing by 12 to the tough quick Crusaders. (Crusaders 60- Wayne 48.)

Sierra Blackburn following her lead added 7 steals to try to frustrate the Minnesota team and although valiant in their attempts, it still wasn't enough to ever pull ahead of the strong Minnesota team. (Minnesota Heat 63 WCGYB 40) In their usual fashion the Wayne team came back fighting in their next game, with Sam Crane leading the way with 15 points, 7 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks. Kassidy helped her keep the pace with 3 steals, 2 three pointers, 8 points and 4 assists. Hannah Morrill, daughter of Phyl and Shirley Morrill, added 6 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals to help seal the win against the Las Vegas Hornets. (WCGYB 45 Hornets 37) Leading the girls in their next game Kassidy again came out strong in her best offensive game up to date hitting 6 three pointers and having a total of 24 points. Courtney Jackson followed behind her with 8 points,
and Samantha Crane with 7 points. Sierra Blackburn added 6 and McKenna Brian added 2 in the 1 point loss to the Tucson Rattlers. (Tucson Rattlers 48 WCGYB 47) With their strong wins and tough losses the girls worked hard to come into this tournament hitting new personal and team goals and taking 3rd place in the Varsity division. The girls could see the results of their hard work with not only their strong wins but also as the tournament host commented on Kassidy's ballhandling, Sierra's strong defense, and how quick this team was. These girls work hard but would not be able to showcase their hard work and talent without the support of the community. Thank you to our sponsor of this tournament:

Wills, Trusts, and More
Am I Required To Treat My Children Equally in My Estate Distribution Plan? by Jeffery J. McKenna No. The manner in which you wish to distribute your assets upon your death is very personal in nature. You may choose to have your assets distributed equally among your children or in whatever proportions you may deem appropriate. If you do not take your estate planning into your own hands, the state in which you live will normally have its own distribution scheme, which seldom represents a decedent's wishes. Since every person's situation is different, your estate planning attorney will draft your estate planning documents to comply with your wishes while, at the same time, directing you toward realistic and tax-effective goals. You may want to disinherit a child for several reasons. Your child may have sufficient resources of his or her own; your child may be undeserving of an inheritance; your other children may have greater or special needs; or you may not want to compound a child's own estate tax liability. Most state laws permit you to totally disinherit a child, regardless of reason. However, care must be taken in order to effectively disinherit a child. First, it is important that you have a will or a trust. If you die intestate (without an estate plan), state laws provide that your children are entitled to a share of your estate.
Therefore, if you die intestate, the child you wanted to disinherit will share in your estate against your wishes. If it is your intention to disinherit your child, it is imperative to specifically reference that child by name in your will and/or trust and acknowledge that you are intentionally not providing for that child. Failure to do so could allow that disgruntled child to claim that he or she was unintentionally "omitted" from your estate plan and force a share of your estate, thus thwarting your wishes. Using a trust may provide additional benefits over a will when intentionally disinheriting a child. Because trusts are not automatically subject to the jurisdiction of the probate court, the notification requirements of the probate court do not apply. The trustee of your trust is under no obligation to provide the disinherited child with the details of your estate plan since he or she is not a beneficiary. Additionally, should your disgruntled, disinherited child choose to challenge the validity of your trust, he or she confronts a number of obstacles not present in the probate process. Disinheritance is a personal issue. One who wishes to disinherit a child may find that there are other effective options, such as putting assets in a separate trust for that

child, with a trustee of your choice making the decisions of what the money can, and can not, be used for.

Karl listened from the other room as his wife Holly patiently said to their fiveyear-old, "Please pick up your toys, Maureen." After a few minutes, Holly again reminded their daughter. Finally Holly asked, "Why aren't you picking your things up?" Karl rolled his eyes when he heard Maureen answer, "I'm playing house and I'm the dad, so I don't know where anything goes."
Sidewalks
For years my husband and I had complained bitterly about the lack of sidewalks in our small town, observing often that if only we had sidewalks, we would walk daily and become models of fitness. So we were thrilled when a community sidewalk project was announced, and watched eagerly as paving neared completion. Then wishful thinking and reality collided. "Well, dear," my husband said, "What'll we use as an excuse for not walking now?"
First Day of School
When he was five, my grandson could hardly wait for his first day of school. That morning, he waited anxiously with his mother for the bus to arrive, then started up the steps as soon as the bus pulled up and the doors opened. With tears in her eyes, his mother said, "What about a kiss?" The young man stopped, retraced a few steps, then promptly kissed the bus driver before he took a seat.
Social Skills
Our catering manager lacks certain social skills ... like knowing when to keep her mouth shut. While discussing a baby christening party with a young couple, she told the mother, "You look like you've lost most of your pregnancy weight." "Thanks," came the clenched-teeth reply. "We adopted."
For Your Health Preventing Childhood Poisoning Having a baby is a blessed event, but for new parents, it brings many troubling questions. “How can I keep my baby healthy?” “How can I prevent childhood illness?” “When do I take my baby to the doctor?” Parents should also be concerned about the possibility of their child accidentally ingesting poison.
Answers for this week
What Can a Parent Do to Prevent Poisoning? As soon as your baby is able to move around on its own, you must take swift steps to ensure that the child does not reach poisons. What can you do?
A toxic substance’s original container may be child-resistant, and will probably also have instructions for dealing with poisoning. Therefore, never remove any potential poison from its original container to place it in another. The risk is even greater if you place the chemicals into a bottle that used to contain food or drink. Putting bleach or household cleaner in a soft-drink bottle is asking for trouble. If you are in the middle of working with a potential poison, such as cleaning the house with an open bottle of household chemicals, be aware of where your child is at all times. If you are interrupted by a phone call or the doorbell, close all containers and place them out of reach before answering. It is also a wise idea to take your child with you while you attend to this new business so that he or she does not have a chance to get into a hazardous substance you had not even thought about. Remember the old saying, “Kids act fast, but so do poisons.” After you open anything with a child-resistant cap, remove the medication or substance immediately and replace the cap or closure as tightly and securely as possible. Children imitate adult behaviors. Do not let them see you taking medications, as they may attempt to do the same when they find any medicine. When you need to give your child medication, never refer to it as “candy” in an effort to make it more appealing. This minimizes the hazardous nature of the drug. When you have no further need of any possible poison or hazardous substance, remove it from your home. Take cleaners, paint thinners, paint, gasoline, fingernail polish, solvents, and similar dangerous chemicals to approved disposal facilities. Take medications to pharmacies with return programs so that the drugs can be disposed of through environmentally friendly methods that prevent others from reusing them. Who Do I Call After a Poisoning? If your child accidentally ingests a toxic substance, immediately call 1-800-222-1222. This national toll-free poison control hotline will direct you in the best steps to take. Follow the advice closely.

It was the first day of school after summer vacation and time for me to pick up the children in my school bus and take them home again. After I had made the complete run that afternoon, one little boy remained on the bus. Thinking he had simply missed his stop, I started driving slowly back through the neighborhood and asked him to be sure to let me know if any of the houses or people looked familiar. The boy sat in his seat contentedly and shook his head whenever I asked him if he recognized a person or place. After the second unsuccessful tour of the area, I started back to the school to ask for his address. When we arrived, the child got off the bus and started walking away. "Wait!" I called. "We have to go inside and find out where you live." "I live right there," he said, pointing to a house across the street. "I just always wanted to ride in a school bus."

It is essential to keep the baby away from any poisons. Keep any potential poisons out of the child’s sight and reach. Hazardous substances should be stored far away from food and medications. High cabinets are a better choice for storage than those under the sink, for instance. Locked cabinets are even better, and all hazardous substances and medications should be secured inside.

OBITUARIES
Wendell H. Chappell 1926 - 2015
LYMAN - Our beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Wendell Holden Chappell, age 88, of Lyman, passed away August 5, 2015 in Centerfield, after a long, active life of hard work, love and service. He was the rock and foundation of our family and will be greatly missed. Wendell was born September 9, 1926 in Lyman, Utah, a son of William Lamont and Lenora Belle Cook Chappell. He was the thirteenth child of fourteen children, losing six of his siblings in infancy. His father taught him to be a cowboy and took him riding all over the mountains, bareback of course, and he knew every inch of them. He especially loved Thousand Lake Mountain. He grew up learning the great value of hard work, along with his love for fishing, hunting and playing basketball. Wendell graduated from Wayne High school, Class of 1944, and went on to Snow College in Ephraim, but was drafted into the army in March of 1945. He was first row of the occupation troops to enter Tokyo, Japan, after the war. Wendell's kind and loving soul was heart sick with the destruction and starvation he saw. Wendell says of his time in the service, "We honored our flag twice everyday and learned to appreciate our great country. I don't claim to have done anything. I just put in my time and this great country is welcome to my time." Wendell loved his home and never wanted to leave Lyman after he returned from the war. He married Burla Shurtz on February 22, 1949 in the Manti LDS Temple and they made their home in Lyman. Together, they raised four children. Wendell loved his farm and worked hard to take care of it and his family. He served valiantly in the LDS Church and in the community. He enjoyed being a lifetime member of the American Legion, where he served as Chaplain for many years; Wayne County Commissioner and Wayne County Sheriff, a position he held with honor as his father and grandfather were also sheriff of Wayne County. Wendell served, alongside his wife, Burla, a work mission in Alberta Canada, but his most rewarding and enjoyable times were spent working in the Manti Temple for 8 years, being an assistant supervisor and then supervisor. His pride and joy was his children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. He loved his family get togethers and never left without singing, "Hail, hail, the gang's all here". Wendell is survived by his beloved wife, Burla of Lyman; children: Beth and Kirtley Jensen, Alice and Bruce Christenson, all of Gunnison; Douglas Chappell of High Level, Alberta, Canada; Jeanette and Dan Taylor of Bicknell; 16 grandchildren; 30 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by a son-in-law: Joe L Christensen; his parents; 9 brothers and 4 sisters: William LaVon Chappell, Nora Lefollen Chappell, Geneva Belle Chappell, Wanda LaVell Chappell, David Grant Chappell, Lloyd Bybee Chappell, Woodrow Chappell, Farrell Lamont Chappell, Austin Whitney Chappell, Olive Beth Chappell, Kennard Dean Chappell, Merrill Joshua Chappell, and George Newell Chappell. Funeral services will be held Tuesday, August 11, 2015 at 1:00 P.M. in the Lyman LDS Ward Chapel, where friends may call for viewing Monday evening from 6 to 8 P.M. or Tuesday 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 Lyman Cemetery under the care of the Springer Turner Funeral Home of Richfield and Salina, Utah.

Carol Taylor Chabot 1934 - 2015 FREMONT - Carole Dean Taylor Chabot was born June 29, 1934, in Fremont, Utah. She is the twelfth and youngest child of William Gross Taylor and Emily Bell Duncan Taylor. She passed from this life on July 30, 2015 at the home of a daughter in Idaho. Carole was a member of the Wayne High School graduating class of 1952 in Bicknell, Utah. That fall she moved to Salt Lake City to study business and play softball. In 1956 she moved to Northern California. While spending her leisure time water skiing in the lagoon and throwing a fifteen-pound bowing ball down the lane, she met the love of her life, Glenn Chabot. They were married on July 1, 1960 and had four daughters. In Eureka, California, Carole worked over 20 years for Lazio’s Fish Company. There she started her career as a bookkeeper and eventually became the office manager. After years of working in the fishing industry, she changed professions and became a Realtor. She truly enjoyed finding families the perfect place to live. Never to sit around, she continued to work until just a year before her passing. Her greatest joy was her family and she loved spending time with them. An avid sports fan, she took every opportunity to cheer on her grandchildren while they participated in football, basketball, baseball, soccer, volleyball, and track. Carole is survived by her husband, daughters, sons-in-law, her eight grandchildren, and her sisters Ora and Sherma. Carole is proceeded in death by her parents William Gross and Emily Bell, her brothers Chap, Van, and Dunk, and her sisters Verna, Clay, Lela, Cheril, Baur Dee, and Wilma Ann. Carole was admired for her fun loving nature and her ability to live life to its fullest. She is deeply loved and will be dearly missed. Funeral services will be Thursday, August 13, 2015 at 1:00 P.M. in the Fremont LDS Chapel where friends may visit with the family Thursday morning from 11:30 to 12:30 prior to the services. Burial will be in the Fremont Cemetery under the care of the Springer Turner Funeral Home of Richfield and Salina, Utah. On line guest book at: www.springerturner.com

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com The big news for the LDS readers was the ground breaking ceremony in Cedar City for the new Temple. When completed it will cut off two hours travel time for those that are Temple workers that live in our area, that have been going down to the St. George Temple. Many of those in our area were able to watch this event on the TV screen at one of the Churches. There were a number of references about Pioneer Heritage in So. Utah and referred to Panguitch and their Quilt Walk. Panguitch’s own Pam Yardley gave the closing prayer. The LDS Church’s goal, as I see it, is to have a Temple close enough to all of their Church members so that traveling won’t be a hardship. The County Fair starts this week and last week's Insider had a very good flyer in it with all of the schedules for all of the events. Hopefully you got your exhibits and handicraft entered, for all to see. Don’t forget the County Commissioners' free barbecue at the pavilion down at the park. Events are going on for two days all day long, high lighted by the talent show on Saturday. The following week is the ATV Rally, which just keeps getting bigger each year; last year there were about 210 riders that had registered. This year, with two weeks to go, over 200 have signed up to participate already. Joe Orman is the man behind the success of the ATV Rally; he was there from the start and loves riding our many trails, in his Side by Side ATV. He has made this a really fun event with all kinds of different trail rides, which are set for each one's riding ability. Our area has probably the best ATV trails in the world (about 2500 miles of them, you can ride to Canada or Mexico) and all it took to bring people here was someone like Joe and his love for the outdoors. Pat and I went up to the Bear Paw Lodge for dinner Saturday night for their Prime Rib special that is served on Saturday and Sunday and it was really good. Sam, Joe and Tommy grew up at the Lake
and went to school with our Granddaughter Teah. They were best of friends; the Adams boys grew up without TV and were great readers and Sam always read twice as many books as any of the other kids in the class, at the elementary school, when they had book reading contests. It is good to have them back home and believe me they will be successful. We have another of our youth coming home, Frank and Jerilu Houston's daughter Sloan and her husband have purchased her grandfathers Vaughn Heaton business, H&R Hardware stores here and in Parowan. Sloan has a daughter who is a junior over in Cedar City and they won’t move here for two years. Sloan’s family lives on the next block from my Granddaughter Jodi Bulloch in Cedar, she was our great grandchildren's baby sitter and had a hand in making them very good students. As Glenn Adams referred to the loss of the brightest of the youth leaving small communities, Panguitch has been really blessed in the last few years by getting many of our outstanding youth to come home. Steve and Marilyn Marshall’s two sons, Sam has purchased the Panguitch Drug and is keeping it in the family for another generation. Dr. Colin Marshall, one of their other sons is one of our really top notch medical doctors. Kenny and Randy Miller’s son Dr. Mitch Miller is also one of the great medical staff and his sister Marnie Blevins is an excellent nurse at the Hospital. John and Diane Houston’s son Nate is back and has joined up with his brother Eric and have purchased the Silver Eagle / Subway gas stations. Vee and Janis Henrie’s two daughters are teachers at PHS, Tammy Bennett and Lisa Breinholt. Grant and Gloria Houston’s son Ryan is also a teacher at PHS. These are just a few of those that have chosen to come home and make Panguitch their family home. The Garfield Memorial Hospital’s extended care center is nearing completions and there will be an open house
coming up shortly. This expansion has made it much more comfortable for the seniors that live there. A lot of people go about the job with very little notice; one of those is the head of the hospital Alberto Vasquez. Look at what he has achieved in his tenure, a completely remodeled hospital, moving the ER from the back to the front and changing almost every room in the hospital for the better, making it one of the best small facilities in the state. Now the extended care has gotten a new look. Alberto and his wife Meri and their family are truly very valuable to our community. From the Associated Press: Power-plant emissions have hit a 27 year low. This is due to the switch from dirty coal to much cleaner and cheaper natural gas. Carbon dioxide from the burning of coal, oil and gas is the main greenhouse gas responsible for human made global warming. Electric power plants spewed 141 million tons of carbon dioxide in April, the lowest amount since 1988. April’s emission peaked at 192 tons in 2008 and has dropped 26% in the last 7 years. The price of natural gas has dropped 39% in the last year and has much to do with the Power plant switching over. Fracking for natural gas has done more to do away with coal in the last two years than in the last twenty of the environmentalists’ efforts. 215,000 jobs were created in the month of July for the 64th month in a row of growth,
the longest in the country's history, however the unemployment still stands a 5.3%. The average wage in the country is at $25.00. With the economy doing so well, housing sale is booming. I think with all of this new wealth in the country, everyone is coming to the National Parks. Zion's buses, which run every 10 minutes, are standing room only. Bryce’s attendance is up 30% and even though the busses are jammed, the majority of the tourists are still taking their cars into the park. The shuttle service has gone from 2,500 patrons over the last 3 years to 4,000 rides this year. Last Saturday the Park again had to shut down for cars and the shuttle service added two more buses and still had trouble keeping up. All of this tourism at the Park is great for the Town with many of the Motels with “no vacancy” signs out. The wholesale price for oil has dropped down to $43 a barrel, gas prices are falling down an average of $2.63 a gallon, nation wide. If it wasn’t for California, New York and Utah it would be much lower. It is expected that gas will be down to below $2.00 by October. Gas in Cedar City is at $2.85, but the lowest prices in our area are at Richfield at $2.68. Can you believe it! Summer is half over and the days are getting shorter, oh where did it all go? Hope you mailed off your ballot, last Tuesday was Election Day. Mack O.

Jeannene Pollock was called to be a Relief Society teacher in Tropic. Lyssa Lumgair spoke along with John Cloud before leaving on their respective mission calls. Lyssa is going to Seattle Washington and John is going to Argentina. The Young Men of the ward sang "Called to Serve" for the missionaries. Congratulations to Matt, Sydney and Deegan Lamas on being sealed together in the St. George Temple. What a wonderful day for the family and all who attended. Wishing our new college freshman a wonderful year at school. It is one of the largest freshmen classes in years. A special Mother - Daughter party for Lizzie Platt, Ashlee Chynoweth, and Marilee Platt to send them off to school. Erin Hayden also attended and joined in the fun as she also is returning to school. Lizzie and Marilee are the daughters of Nathan and Lori Platt. Ashlee is the daughter of Shawn and Lisa Chynoweth of Henrieville. Ashlee Adkins has gotten a counseling job in Cedar City so we want to wish her the best. We know she will do well and will be missed. She is the daughter of Loreli Adkins and the late Rob Adkins of Henrieville. Schools are starting August 26th and teachers are starting to get their classrooms ready. It is a busy time even though they got to start school a bit later than usual. A saying was posted on facebook and I share it with you now: "Every school in America has teachers working for free on a daily basis. Go by any school parking lot early in the morning,
late in the afternoon, or even at night or on the weekends and you will see them in their classrooms. No overtime, bonuses, or promotions on the line - - just doing it for their students! Teachers are using their free time, and often investing their own money, for children's literacy, prosperity, and and future." This is so true and teachers are often taken for granted and accused of being paid for 12 months when in reality they are paid for 9 months and they just spread it out over 12 months. They are also one of the few careers where they have to keep going to school throughout their time teaching. They are criticized, blamed for student failure, and paid very little for all the work and education they have invested in their jobs. Teachers for the most part are dedicated to their students and love them as well. If you see a teacher thank them for their hard work and maybe offer to help out in some way. Volunteer to go on a field trip as a chaperon, attend your child's teacherparent conferences, help your child with their homework assignments (help and don't do), be supportive of the students and teachers in your school. Thank you teachers of Garfield County. We love you and appreciate your dedication to our children. Ashley Chidester from Escalante will be delivering Alison's Pantry products to the Tropic area.

ESSENTIALLY ESCALANTE
OBITUARIES
by Jean Bramble A fifteen-minute city council meeting was held on July 21st. Meetings are often less packed with topics in the summer, but this one was remarkably short! There was no public comment nor were there any items from Planning and Zoning. Among scheduled items, Councilwoman Torgerson reported speaking with a representative from the Utah Conservation Corps (UCC). The UCC occupied Mohr Christensen Park last summer from August 7th to November 13th. Members of the Corps took shifts using the park while others were working on the Russian olive removal project designed as part of restoration efforts of the Escalante River Watershed Partnership. After discussion of the need to prompt the Corps to tidy-up a few habits relative to hygiene, and how much the city might expect for rent, Council gave approval for UCC to occupy the park again this year. Stephanie Steed reported that Garfield County officials have certified annexation of land at the eastern end of town. Written letters of protest or support may be sent to the city recorder by August 24th, 2015. A final decision regarding annexation will be made at a public hearing that will be part of a regularly scheduled city council meeting on October 6, 2015. Council discussed use of the city splash pad dur-
ing the Pioneer Day celebration. The subject of promoting Larry Barnes from regular observer of Planning & Zoning meetings to the role of an ‘alternate,’ such that a quorum might always be available was raised. Elaine Lott, former chair of the committee asked if it might be better to open this position to the public. Ms. Lott expressed a sense of dismay because open positions have, historically, been advertised to the public. After a mildly heated interaction between the Mayor and Ms. Lott, Councilman Allen suggested that a remaining vacant P&Z alternate position be advertised to the public. And so it happened that Larry, who has extensive knowledge of historic buildings, is now an alternate and doubtlessly expanding the vision of the committee. The city has advertised a position as a zoning administrator for one month. No applications were submitted. On August 4th the city council meeting was cancelled. On August 4th, Superintendant Ben Dalton and the Garfield County School District Board held a meeting entitled “What Counts” at the Escalante High School. All community members were invited. Initially, Mr. Dalton presented statistics showing how students are currently faring when compared to the previous year and to Utah aver-

The air field played an important role during the early part of the war. At first to launch attacks on the Japanese ships, and later as a staging area to bring in medical supplies from Australia and evacuate military personnel. This led to many attacks on the airfield by Japanese planes.

ages. Overall, our small rural schools perform pretty well, mostly better than average and with significant improvement over the past. For example, in the previous school year 18% of the students were able to gain college credits during high school. During the 20142015 school year, 50% of the graduates accrued college credits with an average grade of B-. Darn good for high school students competing against college students. Following Mr. Dalton’s presentation breakout sessions were held. The audience formed randomly organized groups of 8-10. They engaged in structured discussions of why they valued education and what they thought characterizes an ideal school. Data were gathered from the small discussions and will be available to attendees at a future date. We will keep an eye on the progress of our schools. The August primary election has generated a lot of at-
tention and energy as we vote to reduce the number of candidates for city council from seven to six in anticipation of the November election. Reportedly, Escalante has never had a primary election nor has there ever been a ‘mailin only’ election. Registered voters have (mostly) received their pretty blue envelopes with (mostly) correct ballots. Camille Moore, Garfield County Clerk, has graciously responded to multiple questions and concerns. Similarly, citizens have contacted the Utah Attorney General’s office and the Lieutenant Governor’s office with questions about protocol, transparency and voter privacy. Discussions have occurred all around town as well as via social media and telephone conversations. Escalante may seem a quiet little town, but underneath its citizens are very passionate about things that matter.

Practical Money Matters
Over 50? Supersize Your Retirement Savings by Nathaniel Sillin
If you're over age 50 and not sure whether you're going to be able to retire, it's time to focus, get advice and build a realistic plan. You're not alone. The U.S. Government Accountability Office recently reported that most households approaching retirement have low savings, adding that nearly half of households led by individuals or couples aged 55 and older having no retirement savings accounts at all. The first step is to define where you really stand financially. Consider speaking with a qualified financial and tax advisor to define your present financial circumstances. Such a conversation should take into account your household income, tax situation, debt and retirement assets in any form. Reviewing these factors can help shape your decisions about supersizing your retirement plan for maximum safe returns. While a customized plan is generally the best way to approach shortfalls, here
are some general approaches. Take time to reevaluate your budget (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/budgeting). To accelerate retirement saving and investing, you need to find the money first. Non-mortgage debt is a major retirement savings obstacle. Better budgeting can help you find the money to pay off debt quicker. Adjust your spending across the board so you can accomplish this while adding more money to savings over time. Know that you're going to need to accelerate your savings. Estimates vary, but generally, after age 50, it's best to direct at least 10 percent of your gross income in savings and investments to cover living expenses when you stop working. If you are employed, review your contribution and income limits for the most popular self-directed and taxadvantaged retirement savings vehicles. Those include: 401(k), 403(b) and most 457 plans, which will have a maxi-
mum annual contribution limit of $18,000 in 2015. Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) – both Traditional and Roth – which will have maximum "catch-up" contribution limits of $6,500 (the regular $5,500 limit plus $1,000 for taxpayers aged 50 or over by yearend 2015) If after all this effort you're still not able to find enough money to put away, consider making a greater effort on the income side. Many individuals boost their savings through a second job or freelancing from home. Consult qualified financial and tax professionals to make sure you're handling this extra income correctly from a tax perspective and putting it in investments that make sense for you. Downsizing to a smaller home or an apartment in a lower cost-of-living destination or deciding to move in with friends or family at minimal costs may also provide additional savings for retirement. But first, consider what
you might get for your home. If you are able to sell a primary residence at a significant profit over your purchase price – above $250,000 for a single taxpayer and above $500,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly –speak to a tax professional about ways to avert a significant tax liability. Finally, put proper financial safety nets in place. Make
sure you have an emergency fund (http://www.practicalmoneyskills.com/emergencycalc) set up so you won't be forced to dip into savings to cover unexpected expenses. And don't forget insurance – having the right amount of property and casualty, health and disability insurance can protect your retirement nest egg from significant risk.
Bottom line: Building a retirement fund after age 50 is challenging, but not impossible. Get solid tax and financial advice, start downsizing immediately and don't forget critical financial safety nets. Nathaniel Sillin directs Visa's financial education programs.
