Stage 2 Tour of Utah Ends with Spectular Chase and Finish
TORREY - BMC Racing Team’s Michael Schär of Switzerland survived in the original breakaway of Stage 2 to win the second stage of the Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah. Covering the 130.7-mile course from Panguitch to Torrey in five hours and three minutes, Schär held off both leg cramps and a furious chase group of 34 riders to win the stage. Jure Kocjan (Slovenia) of Team Smartstop finished second, just two seconds behind Schär. With a time bonus, this vaulted the Slovenian into the overall leader’s yellow jersey. JellyBelly rider Serghei Tvetcov (Russia) finished third
on the stage. “It was a really tough day for me today. I knew I had come out good (from) the Tour de France. I had a good climb and I had good legs, and normally I do better the higher we go,” said Schär, who finished 7th on General Classification (G.C.) at the 2013 Tour of Utah, calling today’s Stage 2 the hardest of his career. “All of a sudden I had (leg) cramps…I had the worst cramps in my life and in the end I could hardly pedal. Moments like that, it's more about the mind and not about the body, you really have to suffer through that.”
Utah Classical Guitar Society Begins Summer Series in Wayne County
John Paul Yerby will be giving a classical guitar performance at the DUP Building in Torrey on Friday, August 22. TEASDALE - The Utah Classical Guitar Society is starting a series of summer classical guitar concerts in Wayne County. The free inaugural concert, featuring guitarist Jon Paul Yerby, who heads both the organization and the Utah Valley University classical guitar department, will take place 7:00PM Friday, August 22 in the DUP Schoolhouse, Main Street, Torrey. Yerby, who performs throughout North America, was trained by several lead-
ing names in classical guitar, including the great American classical guitar virtuoso Eliot Fisk. He calls Yerby "A fine guitarist of taste and refinement who possesses one of the world's most beautiful natural guitar sounds."

REGIONAL WEATHER FORECAST FOR SOME BUT NOT ALL REGIONS REPRESENTED IN OUR NEWSPAPER COVERAGE AREA
THURS. AUG. 14 - WED. AUG. 20 FORTUNATELY we got a little more rain than was forecast for last week, and if we're lucky we'll also get the showers that are predicted for this Thursday and Friday. Otherwise, sunny to partly cloudy (and maybe some isolated T-storms on Monday) for the week with nice daytime temps in the low 80s. Nighttime temps in the 50s.
For a second day in a row, Kocjan finished on the second step of the podium, but secured the G.C. lead and pulled on the Utah Sports Commission Sprint jersey. “I was very motivated for today's stage. I knew that last year on the same stage 60 riders came to the sprint, so I knew that if I could make the climb with the first group probably I would be the fastest man,” Kocjan said. The 121-rider peloton faced blue skies and crosswinds as it rolled out of Panguitch and passed Bryce Canyon National Park, Grand Staircase-Escalante National
Monument and Capitol Reef National Park. The unrelenting course challenged riders with 10,162 feet of elevation gain punctuated by a rugged climb to the Hogsback Summit east of Escalante. Utah’s red rock canyons gave way to thick growth of aspen, pine and pinion & juniper trees as the field ventured into the Dixie National Forest before the finish in Torrey. The Tour of Utah was completed on Sunday in Park City. The overall crown for the Stage 2 TOU Cont'd on page 3
PANGUITCH - Author Robert Proctor, who published The History of Panguitch earlier this year, is embarking on a new Garfield County history project about World War II veterans from the county who served in the war. As an effort to further his research he is seeking information from relatives of Garfield County WWII vets, and is inviting anyone who had a relative serving in WWII to stop by his booth on Saturday during the Garfield County Fair to share information that will help him piece together this story. “When I was writing The History of Panguitch and I got to researching the years of 1940 through 1946, I came across a series of Garfield County News articles about what people in the county were doing in the war,” says Proctor. The pieces of information that Proctor found piqued his curiosity and he decided he’d like to learn more. Initially working with lists and information from the Golden Nuggets of Pioneer Days, The Escalante Story, and newspaper articles, Proctor ended up with a list of about 800 men and women from Garfield County who served in WWII. Since then he’s been taking that list and working to expand the information about who served to what they actually did during the war. “For about 25% of these individuals I have nothing on other than a name. Most of the ones that I just have a name for came from the eastern
part of the county—Tropic, Henrieville, Cannonville, and Escalante. So I am hoping to find some contacts of people that can assist me in tracking down these men and women so their story can be preserved for posterity,” he said. He added, “For me this is all the more important because around 1971 there was a fire at the Military Records Branch of the National Archives in St. Louis, Missouri. This fire destroyed about 80% of the records of people who served in the Army and the Army Air Force. So this is not a source of information any more.” Proctor says that where he has information from contemporary resources such as the newspaper or from family members, or in instances where he can get discharge paper work, he is able to use this to compile further information about where men and women served and what they did. He says he hopes to put together a new book that is based on what he finds. “But my real ‘pipe dream,’ says Proctor, “depending on what information I get, is to develop a World War II museum representing the point of view of the men and women who served, told from the perspective of the service men and women who came from Garfield County.” Proctor invites those attending the county fair to come around to his booth— WWII Vets

Local Youths Show their Stuff at Southern Utah Junior Livestock Show
RICHFIELD - The 76th annual Southern Utah Junior Livestock Show took place last week at the Sevier County Fairgrounds, and gave regional youths an opportunity to show their skill at raising and showing prize lambs, hogs and steers. The Utah 4-H Livestock Program is designed for those youth with interest in livestock and livestock events. The focus is to provide experiences that help these youth develop leadership, citizenship, self-esteem, social skills and to become contributing members of society, as well as becoming better livestock men and women. The 4-H Livestock show is an educational, activity-oriented and fun program for those who become involved. The 4-H Livestock Program is for youth in grades 3-12, but not younger than 8 years old. This program is one of only a few 4-H Programs that does not include mini-4-H enrollment (younger than third grade) in order to provide for the safety and best interests of the participants. Enthusiastic 4-H Volunteers with expertise and interests in livestock and working with youth help to deliver and manage the program and its objectives. The 4-H Livestock Program includes programs for those youth who own/have access to livestock and those who do not, but still want to learn about the science of livestock selection, care, and management. Activities can include everything from educational and fun club meetings, livestock shows and County Fairs, service projects, judging contests, and

Color-Country Animal Welfare to Offer Community Cat TNR Program on September 23 WAYNE CO. - I recently spent a week at Best Friends Animal Society’s 3700-acre sanctuary in Kanab, Utah. The sanctuary is home to about 1700 animals, mostly cats and dogs. Thirty years after its humble inception, Best Friends now has a $70 million per year fund-raising goal. Almost all of its animals on-site are adoptable, although approximately half have special needs. Best Friends took in the Michael Vick pit bulls and helped rescue 6000 animals following Hurricane Katrina. Best Friends’ mission is to eliminate homeless pets, four million of which are euthanized in U.S. shelters each year. It does this through adoptions and spaying and neutering programs. Best Friends teams up with its network partners – other rescue organizations throughout the country – to help tackle animal problems at a local level. One significant success has been the TNR (trap-neuter-return) program for feral, or community, cats. There are approximately 70 million free-roaming cats in the U.S. Their lives can be short and brutal; half the kittens do not survive without human intervention. Cats can begin reproducing at 4 months, and females can have 2 to 4 litters per year, with an average of 3 to 5 kittens per litter. Cats make up about 70 percent of the animals euthanized in shelters, and 80 percent of those are community cats. The good news is that TNR programs, coupled with community caregivers dedicated to providing food, water and shelter, can be a successful and humane way of controlling feral cat populations. At
least three cities have shown a 50 percent drop in cat euthanasia to shelters within just a year or two of concerted TNR efforts. Color Country Animal Welfare (CCAW) is dedicated to the reduction of homeless cats in Wayne County. In just the first half of 2014, CCAW has fixed 150 community cats at the request of landowners who recognize the problem of unchecked cats but who are willing to allow those present to live out their lives with basic care. CCAW works with individuals to conduct group trappings; we provide the cages and transport the cats to and from the vet, returning them to their original locations. While under anesthesia, a cat’s left ear is clipped (“tipped”), making it easy to identify the fixed cats in a community. Community cats also serve as effective pest control in and around houses and barns. CCAW can also help to recommend deterrents to keep community cats out of your yard. CCAW also provides low-cost spay and neuter vouchers, and we encourage you to also spay and neuter your pets. Cats and dogs can be fixed as soon as they reach 2 pounds. CCAW and Best Friends will be working jointly to conduct a TNR event for feral/community cats in Wayne County on September 23. Please contact us if you would like to be involved in the event or if you have questions.

Stay Safe in Bear Country RICHFIELD - Many people enjoy recreating on the Fishlake National Forest and as the summer progresses bear sightings and activity may increase across the forest. Be aware of bears and follow these safety recommendations. There are several things you can do to lessen the chance that a bear picks your camp site or cabin area as a place to wander into: • Store food, drinks and scented items securely (in your vehicle, a bear-safe container or a tree — never in your tent) • Dispose of trash in bearproof dumpsters, if available • Wipe down picnic tables • Burn food off stoves or grills • Pitch tents away from trails in the backcountry • Always sleep inside your tent • Never approach or feed a bear • Report bear sightings to your campground host When hiking, here are some tips on how to stay safe in bear country: • Stay alert at dawn and dusk, when bears are more active • Go with a group, if possible • Make noise as you travel through dense cover
• Stay away from animal carcasses • Store food, trash and scented items (such as sunscreen) in airtight plastic bags • Keep kids in the center of the group If you see a bear in a campground or you encounter an aggressive bear, please tell the campground host, notify the local Forest Service District Office, or contact the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources immediately… • Cedar City, 435-865-6100 • Price, 435-613-3700 …or call 911 and local law enforcement will be notified.

Women’s Redrock Music Festival Rocks Torrey TORREY - Talented musicians from around the world descended on Wayne County for the eighth annual Women's Redrock Music Festival August 8-9. The Robber’s Roost Bookstore grounds in Torrey were bursting with over 600 enthusiastic music fans. Co-sponsored by the Entrada Institute, the two-day event kicked off Friday afternoon with entertainer Julie Wheeler and solo artist Vicci Martinez. The featured act for the evening was a trio of sisters from Sweden known as Baskery. Breaking the rules of traditional music, their group made unique use of a double bass, a six string banjo and an acoustic guitar to produce a range of music including blues, country, punk, and Americana combined with their global perspective. During the day Saturday, the crowd continued to grow. The duo Erin & the Project took the stage first. Following them was the recently formed Utah band, Dear Liza. They got the audience dancing with their mix of classics and pop tunes. Vocalist Alicia Faith and singer-songwriter Eliza Gilkyson provided some laid-

From the Publisher's Desk The Tour of Utah breezed through our towns last week down Highways 89 and 12 from Panguitch to Torrey, though the term “breeze” suggests that it was leisurely, and instead it was more like a microburst. Averaging speeds of 25 miles per hour— which means in many places they were going much faster—from most locations one had only a 30 second glimpse of the action and then in moments the cyclists and their entourage were gone. They were so fast it was a hard choice to decide whether to just watch closely with one’s bare eyeballs to really see it, or to get the camera out and try to get a good shot or two: a few coming, a few going and that’s about all the photos there was time for. It would have been great if the riders could have made a right turn on Center Street in each of our towns, then headed down a few blocks and circled back through, or maybe even stopped to say hello and sign a few autographs, just to make it all last a little longer, but then it wouldn’t be a race would it? For a lot of us, keeping track of the Tour of Utah as it is happening is kind of hard, it’s almost a full time job over the course of 7 days if one is to really watch it, but the good news is there is lots of great footage of the key parts on the Internet. So, while I was fortunate to have been on the scene in both Escalante and Torrey when the cyclists came through, it wasn’t until I watched later on YouTube that I really got a sense of the intensity of the action during Stage 2, where Swiss rider Michael Schär (whom I now like to think of as “our hero”) with the BMC racing team, pulled off a Herculean effort to stay ahead of the peloton that snapped mercilessly at his heels and with incredible will and fortitude and with a spent and aching body he maintained his edge and nailed the finish line for the Stage 2 win. (After which he and his bike promptly collapsed into a heap.) There is a good video online of Schär, who while watching footage of the final minutes of the race himself, gives a blow-by-blow commentary of how he was feeling and what he was thinking as he approached the finish line. He said during the post-finish press conference held at the DUP building in Torrey (even moments after the race finished all of the cyclists at least appeared amazingly composed and refreshed) that it was the most difficult thing he has ever done. At 130 miles and over 10,000 feet in elevation gain Stage 2 is the longest stage of the Tour of Utah and presents immense difficulty to the racers. After already going about 90 miles, the bikers then have to climb Boulder Mountain, and several said that by the time they reached the base of Boulder this just seemed like a physical impossibility—until they did it. Some have wondered what all the TOU fuss is about for what seems to be a nanosecond of action, and which due to road closures and restrictions limits our daily activity on race day. I decided especially after taking the opportunity to watch the event more closely that it is an honor to have our home ground as the setting for a show of such incredible athleticism and the extraordinary will of the human spirit. —E.W.

The band Xperience Freedom along with the duo God Des and She kept the audience singing and dancing through the late afternoon. Between the personal pizzas made by the Sweetwater Gypsies and the gourmet burgers and salads by Cafe Diablo, the crowd was well-fed and ready for more great music
and entertainment that continued into the evening. Toshi Reagon provided a classic R&B performance with some genre-bending twists. Finally, international alternative rock star Sarah Bettens concluded the two days of outstanding women’s music. Many festival goers continued their fun at The Rim Rock Patio with late night performances by Sister Wives and The Saddlery with music by Afterburn.
The Robber’s Roost Bookstore grounds were at capacity for the festival. The Entrada Institute recently purchased property adjacent to the current Torrey location and seek to expand the venue over the next several years. It’s hoped that the new stage and grounds will be ready for the 10th annual Women’s Redrock Music Festival in a couple years. —Annette Lamb

Two members of the Escalante Chapter of Back Country Horsemen of Utah rode their horses and carried American flags to greet and salute the awesome Tour of Utah 2014 bike racers. Carol Kracht on her gelding, Tux, and Gwendolyn Zeta on her mare, Lucy, wore their Bike Tour tee shirts and loped alongside the peloton when they crossed Big Flat just east of Escalante. It would be hard to say what the bike riders think of horses and flag-waving riders, but the many honking horns and waving hands from the support vehicles lead one to believe the horsewomens' enthusiasm was appreciated. And, of course, it was just great fun. —Gwendolyn Zeta

seven-day stage race went to American Tom Danielson of Team Garmin-Sharp, who successfully defended his 2013 hold of the Larry H. Miller Dealerships Overall Leader’s jersey. Danielson completed the seven stages of “America’s Toughest Stage Race” in 30 hours, 18 minutes and four seconds. With a strong finish on Stage 7, USA rider Chris Horner repeated with a second-place finish in the G.C., the same result as 2013, this year 52 seconds behind Danielson. BMC’s Michael Schär, who took the Stage 2 win in Torrey, finished 28th overall. According to both the Wayne County and the Garfield County tourism offices, the Tour of Utah’s second year on Highways 89 and 12 saw an increase in momentum in terms of both local interest
and spectators. “I spoke with several business owners that said the Tour of Utah was bigger than last year, all around it was a better event,” said Nycole Durfey, Director of the Wayne County Office of Tourism. “It seemed that people were more receptive this year, more informed and more serious about it.” Falyn Owens, director of Garfield County’s Office of Tourism, agreed that the event went well at the Stage 2 starting line in Panguitch. “Everyone got out, they were excited. We stuck to the same plan as last year and everything went really smoothly. It's a lot of work for a really fast start but it showcases all of Highway 12 which is awesome. All the people that get to see it on TV get to see we are an awesome biking destination, too,” she said. “I didn't think they [TOU] would come back to us this
soon. And this is an outstanding,” Owens added. Owens noted that Wayne and Garfield county officials won’t know whether the Tour of Utah will come back to Highway 12 until tour planners approach them in the fall. Both Durfey and Owens noted that their city and county officials are very supportive of the event. “It's just a very well put together event and an extraordinary event for our little community, said Durfey.” In terms of marketing, I couldn't possibly do what Tour of Utah does on our behalf in a million years. It’s like a rolling postcard for our area, seen all over the world. It helps us little by little.” “Of course Falyn and I want to thank everyone that came down and supported it and want to hear some commentary about how they felt about it,” said Durfey. People who want to leave
comments about the Tour of Utah for the county tourism offices can do so on the Capitol Reef Country and Bryce Canyon Country Facebook pages. This was the Tour of Utah’s 10th Anniversary. “It was a great week of racing,” said Steve Miller, president of Miller Sports Properties, who announced at the post-race press conference in Park City that the 2015 edition will be held from August 3-9. “I think it's safe that we will visit some parts of Utah that we haven't visited before. Our goal is to have it be a tour of Utah. Our goal is to continue to elevate the level of competition. This year was at an all-time high in terms of competitiveness, but I hope we haven't hit our ceiling yet in terms of the quality of the field we can bring to Utah.” —Insider

By Cynthia Kimball Davis One woman offered to help in a situation, stating an exact amount she would contribute. Yet later, when asked for that amount, she stated another amount, and a lesser one, but told the person seeking clarification that they were wrong (and essentially a liar) after they repeated the first amount she had stated. Why the incongruency? Why say one thing and do another? It used to be that a handshake was a man’s word. So too does businessman and humanitarian, Jon Huntsman, Senior. Apparently, years ago, he engaged in a business deal with a gentleman. This business deal did not happen right away, yet what Huntsman was selling appreciated in the million dollar category. When the buyer pointed this out to Huntsman, he would not change his asking price even though he could have made millions more. His handshake and original asking price stood. That was his word. What would you have done if you were in Huntsman’s shoes? I believe congruency is when your thoughts, actions, words, and motives match. Similarly, so too does ac-
How to be Congruent
tor Gael Garcia Bernal, “Every decision that you make you have to be incredible econgruent …,” (BrainyQuote.com) Yet, if someone verbally announces, “I despise pornography,” yet secretly looks at it, they are not congruent. Or if a woman tells her husband that she honors her marriage and will be loyal no matter what or where, yet goes on a business trip and flirts with the men there; she is not congruent in her thoughts, actions, words, or motives. In a talk about spiritual gifts, LDS church leader, David A. Bednar said, when alluding to “central characters” in the scriptures, “As we read about and study [their] lives … we discover things we should and should not do, and we realize more completely the kinds of people we should and should not become,” (Speeches.BYU.edu, 2014). God knows whether or not you are congruent. And so do you. After all, the spirit tells you. The good news is that if you are not congruent, you can change. Motivational speaker and author, Anthony Robbins, said, “Your life changes the moment you make a new,
congruent, and committed decision,” (ThinkExisit.com, 2014). Thus, every thought, action, word, and motive, just needs to be consistent. For example, if you do not oogle every man or woman that walks by, then do not oogle them in your thoughts, words, or motives either. If you say you will be somewhere, then followthrough. If you do not believe in stealing then stop stealing hotel towels, glasses, and the hairdryer. How to be congruent? The answer is simple. Just make your thoughts, actions, words, and motives match. And that Huntsman story? The buyer and Huntsman became good friends. And when that man died? His family asked Huntsman to speak at his funeral.

Deer Crossing
A crew of highway maintenance workers was sent to repair some road signs that vandals had knocked down in a forested area. The first one they put back up was a symbol warning of a deer crossing. As they moved down the road to repair the next sign, one crew member looked back and spotted a deer running across the highway. Turning to a co-worker he said, "I wonder how long he's been waiting to cross?"

Wills, Trusts, and More What is "Intestate Succession"? by Jeffery J. McKenna
Even if you have never signed a will or trust, you have an estate plan. Some of you may be asking, “How?” The answer is the state has a “default estate plan” for those without their own. This government provided plan is called, “intestate succession.” In almost every state, if you die without an estate plan, the law provides that your entire estate will be distributed to your spouse if he or she is alive unless you have children from a prior marriage. If you do not have a surviving spouse, the estate will be distributed to your children and if a child predeceases you, then to that child's children. If you have no surviving children or grandchildren (commonly called your “issue”), then your estate will be distributed to other relatives. If you have a surviving spouse and children from a prior marriage, a certain amount is distributed to your surviving spouse and then one-half of the balance of your estate will be distributed to your surviving spouse and one-half to your children. Although the state “default estate plan” attempts to represent
what most people would want to do with their estate if they had done their own estate planning, it may not be what you want. There are many concerns about relying on the state’s “default estate plan.” If you rely on the state’s “default estate plan,” your desires may not be met when you have children from a prior marriage. As previously stated, the state’s “default estate plan” provides that one-half of your estate will go to children from a prior marriage and the other one-half to your surviving spouse. Often, it may be desirable to allow the surviving spouse to have a lifetime interest in all or a part of your estate until his or her death and at that time the estate could be distributed to your children. Additionally, if you marry later in life, you may desire that all your assets be distributed to your children from a prior marriage because your surviving spouse has sufficient assets of his or her own. Hopefully, you can see that although we may all have an estate plan, it is very beneficial and sometimes crucial that you take

A man goes into a bar very thirsty. He sits down waiting for the bartender to see him. The man next to him calls for the bartender saying, "I'll have another Waterloo." The bartender gives him a tall ice cold drink, then asks the newcomer what he would like to drink. Wanting to try this new drink he says, "I'll have a Waterloo, too." The bartender gives him a tall ice-cold drink. He takes a big drink and says, "HEY! This isn't any good. It tastes just like water!" The man next to him looks at the bartender and says, "Well, it is water ... right, Lou?"
Compensation
My brother was on a plane that had taken off and was approaching cruising altitude, when one of the flight attendants came on the public-address system. She announced that she was sorry, but the plane's restroom was out of order. The flight attendant went on to apologize to the passengers for any inconvenience. But then she finished cheerily with: "So, as compensation, free drinks will be served."

The Cocktail
SALT LAKE CITY From Logan to St. George, the variety of fresh foods for consumers and millions of dollars annually for Utah farmers are being promoted this week in Utah during National Farmers Market Week. Larry Lewis with the state Department of Agriculture says Utahns spent nearly $16 million in 2012 in direct sales at more than 1,800 farms and ranches around the state, including farmers markets, that sell directly to consumers. "Farmers say they like the markets because they can cut out the middle men," says Lewis. "It helps them with their profit margin. They sell directly to their customers. They make more of a profit, and of course profit is what helps keep farming sustainable and keeps our economy growing." Lewis notes sales at Utah's
farmers' markets increased nearly 60 percent from 2007 to 2012. He says the rapidly-growing popularity of high quality fruits, vegetables, meats and grains offered at farmers markets appears to be fueled by consumers wanting to know more about how their food is grown. "They want to know the farmer," says Lewis. "They can ask him if they're organic. They want to know how that food is grown. So the consumer can really get to know their farmer, understand how farming works, and how food is raised." Lewis says the U.S. Department of Agriculture reports the number of farmers markets across the nation nearly doubled, from 4,600 in 2008 to nearly 8,200 in 2013. —Troy Wilde, Utah News Connection

new mathematics teacher at Panguitch High School. Ms. Certonio has several years of teaching experience in Washington School District. Mr. Chad Reeder will be returning to Panguitch High School as the science teacher. Mr. Reeder has seven years of teaching science, five of which were in the Garfield School District.

I am confident in their abilities to provide high quality academic instruction to our students. If you see these individuals in your communities, please take some time to welcome them to the area. Many times it is difficult for new teachers to relocate their families to a new area; if employees feel welcome in the new communities they will have an increased desire to invest their careers in our schools. —Superintendent Ben Dalton

All Fire Restrictions Lifted in Southwest Utah and Northwest Arizona, Effective Immediately
Richard Anderson, MD (General Surgeon) 435-250-6134
RICHFIELD - Due to recent rainfall and lower fire danger conditions, Color Country Fire Managers are lifting all fire restrictions on tribal, federal, state administered, and unincorporated private land in Southwest Utah and Northwest Arizona (Mojave, Washington, Iron, Beaver, Garfield, and Kane Counties). Effective Immediately. Fire managers also want to thank the public for being aware of wildfire potential throughout fire restrictions as human caused fires have been minimal for most of 2014. Throughout the months of August-October, fire danger will remain a threat to southern Utah communities and should be viewed as such until winter moisture is received. Therefore debris burning is not permitted. —US Forest Service

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com That short storm was sure welcome today. It seems that the City’s agriculture water was down for the week. Most of the lawns in town sure are looking good, but it does mean a lot more mowing. School starts shortly and the summer is almost gone, but we still have two big events for your pleasure. This week is the Garfield County Fair and hopefully you got your exhibits entered at the Fair Building yesterday. However you can enter your fruits, vegetable and flowers, today at the Fair Building. Friday is a big day. Come and enjoy the livestock show and exhibits that are available for your pleasure found in the arts and crafts area. At noon carnival type rides, Laser tag, inflatables, water ball, and horse fun day. In addition there will be bingo at the Fair building with great prizes. There will be a
Dutch oven cook off, come get some great food. Then in the afternoon Mud Volleyball and a greased pig contest (what are you going to do with it if your kid catches one?), a ping ball drop with all kinds of prizes and a beautiful baby contest. Sounds like your day is well planned. Saturday it starts all over again with the Rabbit show, Horse shoe contest and the high light of the fair is the Fish Grab, with a bunch of kids out to get their limit, so bring your camera. The Fair Exhibits will be open for one last show, and a livestock auction which is a good time to pick up some beef at a good price. More rides/ games and laser tag and a pet show at the arena and a pet look alike contest. At noon is the annual Commissioners, free BBQ at the City Park. The Talent show will be at the Fair Building and last but not least is the

NOTE: PLEASE BE COURTEOUS AND CALL AHEAD. The kitchen staff work diligently to prepare a good dinner, and a head count helps them prepare enough for everyone.
Demolition Derby, to close out the Fair. The Fair gets better each year and there is something for everyone. The last event of the summer is the ATV Rally, it will be 3 days of non-stop rides around the greatest scenery in the world. So far there has been over 150 signed up for the rally, way ahead of last years rides. No telling how big this event will become, but Richfield has about 1500 to their rally and we have so much more to see. They have a large variety of rides both in difficulty and distance with a whole lot of great guides, so sign up and pick out a route and enjoy. This Friday night (the 15th) is the Utah Symphony night out at Bryce Canyon. The music starts at 8:00 and a really big crowd is expected, (over 2,000.) Your best bet is to come early and bring a lawn chair and stop at the shuttle stop at Ruby’s for a ride out there. Also wear warm clothing and maybe an umbrella. I love all kinds of music, so this is right up my alley. The Tour of Utah has come and gone and it really provided a lot of excitement for the area and some great PR for Panguitch and the State with the whole race recorded and played in the evening on TV. Horses raced the bikers out at the Pines and the scenery from the helicopter was really something. Little third grader (Jeramy and Sheryl Henrie’s son) really belted out the National Anthem and even the pro bike
riders stopped what they were doing to listen. This kid is so good and he will be performing at the talent show on Saturday, I will have his name tattooed on my arm so I can remember it. The Boys Baseball teams winning streak came to an end on Saturday with a squeaker loss to Valley. They had won 4 games during the week and pushed their record to 55 victories in a row. When you play that many games in a row as they did last week it is really hard keeping up the effort. This was the second loss in 4 years for the Bobcats not too shabby. It is time to start a new streak Cats. The Bryce Canyon Park is really getting busy, with Ruby’s filling up almost every night and the shuttle buses running with standing room only. There are still many that don’t get the word and still drive their cars out to the overlooks and have to wait for a parking place. Labor Day comes early this year with it falling on the 1st. It is Iron Co. Fair time. Expect the parade to be really big, it is an election year and all the politicians will be out in their convertibles. Actually I think our 24th parade is a lot better with many more floats. With the car show, Fair exhibits and the good food, it is worth while to go over there for the day. Plenty to do for the next little bit. Enjoy. Mack O.

RABBIT VALLEY REPORT by Adus F. Dorsey II
Cow Wash, Riley Cook
Adus Dorsey
If you think that only serious primping and prepping happens before the Junior Prom you have never been to the Southern Utah Junior Livestock Show. I never knew there were so many beauty related products for animals, nor did I realize a rooster would stand so long in front of a fulllength mirror examining him self so intently. From August 5th through the 8th the 2014 Southern Utah Junior Livestock Show filled every inch of the new and improved Sevier County Livestock facility in Richfield with 4H members and prized animals from as far away as places most folks from the Wasatch Front don’t even know exist, or have ever been to in our Great State of Utah. On any given day in between early morning Wayne County chores in March and school homework being handed by Wayne High English teacher Shannon Robertson, and summer evening irrigation sprinkler changing, 4H and FFA students can be found coaxing soon-to-be-champion sheep and steers up and down every dirt back road in Wayne County. And like in the classic Norman Jewison movie “Fiddler on the Roof” it is called “tradition.” A little known Southern
Utah fact is that under the radar anonymous forces too shy and too many to mention are constantly at work to ensure localized 4H and Livestock events like the Southern Utah Junior Livestock Show get funded and annually appear on everyone’s kitchen birthday calendar. A worthwhile taxdeductible opportunity that benefits the youth of Wayne County through community building, continued education and personal enrichment. The Southern Utah Junior Livestock Show is the place you get to see gregariously pampered Wayne County farm animals like a prized Loa pig moments before an approaching competition. An animal that is so well fed that you would think it gets unexpectedly and is prestigiously invited to the family supper table to copiously consume massive amounts of left over table scraps in an attempt to gain any sort a competition judging advantage. Since I am dwelling on the subject of food and my mouth is salivating like one of Pavlov’s dogs, while at the Southern Utah Junior Livestock Show I had the fortunate opportunity to lunch with the Wayne County Blackburn’s and the rest of the FFA Wayne County contingency group. I
can see now why all their animals were filled out so well. Another one of those delicious barbeque sandwiches and a second helping of the bowtie pasta salad, any Wayne County 4H kid could have sprayed my hooves, put a halter on me, led me out into the arena and scratched my belly with a stick and I would have done anything he / she wanted me too do. I might have even been good for some sort of a ribbon if I could have kept my eyes from rolling back in my head and refrained from letting my tongue hang out. All in all the Southern Utah Junior Livestock Show was filled with all the thrills and spills and excitement you could imagine. There were tears and cheers of joy and just about every kind of emotion in between. The kids, parents and instructors did a wonderful job. It was a true testament of teamwork and something that Wayne County can be very proud of. Some how Fair week seems to be a summer milestone, a reminder that before you know it the boys from Howard's will be roaming the streets filling propane tanks and leaving bills on your front door. Parents and school age kids will be burning up the highways north and south to
spend all their hard earned money on new school clothes and other educational items they just have to have in order to start classes. The class of 2014 will soon be part of a mass exodus to places like the U., BYU, Dixie, Snow, SUU, USU and a bunch of other U’s too many to mention, while the rest of us stand on our porches and wave good bye hoping that some of them might return to cure what ails us or run the family farm with new and improved Ag related ideas. Then there will others that we will read about in The New York Times or Stanford Gazette with so many letters behind their names that we will have to look them up in order to know what they all mean. Not that you can ever have too much firewood but the mountains and backyards will soon be filled with the sound of chain saws and wood splitters, a sure signal that it won’t be long before the night time temperatures will begin to drop. Farm equipment will soon be making their last rounds in the hay fields and the color orange will once again be all the rage and straw hats will be replaced by felt ones. Hey wait just a minute, I have almost talked myself right into winter when in fact it is still August, so let me regress as I am not ready for the white stuff. I haven’t heard yet but I am sure Nadine Brown has returned from the Pow Wow in Gallup, N.M. with treasure and stories of adventure. I guess I better beat feet to Loa and find out. I also had a nice Ag conversation with Dick Pace Saturday night before I went down to the overflowing Rim Rock Patio to see the Sister Wives. I am glad I recorded the conversation because it contained some really good stuff, which is true just about every time I set out to visit with someone from Wayne County about history. If you don’t already know it or have been part of it, this is Fair Week, which means sit down lunches in parking lots up and down the county, sitting next to somebody you didn’t already know but hopefully you can get acquainted while you do. Next weekend should be filled more fun than sometimes is had all year long, so enjoy.

Practical Money Matters
Here's Credit 101 for Your College Freshman
ATTENTION DOWNWINDERS!!
Have you or a family member been diagnosed with cancer?
by Jason Alderman
To parents with a freshman entering college this fall: You're probably expecting to shell out major bucks for tuition, room and board and a million other necessities over the next few years. But before you send your kid off, make sure you share one gift likely to steer him or her along the road to financial security – a sound understanding of how credit works. You probably learned the hard way yourself that young adults encounter many unfamiliar expenses – and temptations – upon entering college or the workforce. So it's important to help your kids avoid early financial missteps that could damage their credit for years to come. The first step in managing personal finances is mastering the basic checking account and debit card. A few tips you can pass along: • Look for a bank or credit union that charges no monthly usage fee, requires no minimum balance and has conveniently located ATMs so you don't rack up foreign ATM charges. • Enter all transactions in a check register or in a budgeting tool like Mint.com and review your account online at least weekly to verify when deposits, checks, purchases and automatic payments have cleared. • Avoid writing checks or making debit card transactions unless your current
balance will cover them – such transactions often clear instantly. A good way to build sound credit is to demonstrate responsible credit card use. But people under age 21 must have a parent or other responsible adult cosign credit card accounts unless they can prove sufficient income to repay the debt. So how can parents help their kids begin building a credit history if they can't open their own account? A couple of alternatives: • Make them an authorized user on one of your accounts. They'll get their own card and you can usually restrict the amount they're able to charge. Authorized users are not legally responsible to pay balances owed – that's your responsibility, so tread carefully. • You can add them as a joint account holder to a new or existing account – preferably, one with a small credit limit. Joint account holders are equally liable to pay off the account. • Just remember, any account activity, good or bad, goes on both your credit reports, so careful account monitoring is critical. If your kids haven't yet demonstrated financial maturity they may not be ready for an unsecured credit card or loan. Other alternatives include: • A secured credit card, where users can charge up to the amount deposited to

open the account. Purchases are charged against the account's revolving credit limit. As they pay off the balance the available credit rises, just like a regular credit card. After a period of on-time payments, ask the lender to convert it to an unsecured card, or to at least add an unsecured amount to the account. • A prepaid debit card, where you load the card with money in advance and they use the card for purchases or ATM withdrawals. You monitor account activity online or by phone. • With each, fees and restrictions may apply so shop around for the best terms. If you need help educating your kids about personal financial management, a good resource is What's My Score (www.whatsmyscore.org), a financial literacy program for young adults run by Visa Inc. It features a comprehensive workbook called Money 101: A Crash Course in Better Money Management, which can be downloaded for free. Bottom line: Getting your kids off on the right foot, credit-wise, can make all the difference to their future financial health. Jason Alderman directs Visa's financial education programs.
