Bryce Canyon National Park’s Annual Pass: A Great Deal for Local Residents and Repeat Visitors BRYCE CANYON NATIONAL PARK - Like many national parks across the country, Bryce Canyon participates in the America the Beautiful National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass program which offers a variety of passes that provide access to national parks, forests, and wildlife refuges across the country. What many visitors to Bryce Canyon don’t realize, however, is that the park also offers a park-specific Annual Pass that waives entrance fees to Bryce Canyon National Park for 12 months from the date of purchase. At $35, the Bryce Canyon Annual Pass is a bargain for local residents and others who visit Bryce Canyon several times a year. The National Park Service recently raised its entrance and amenity fees at many parks throughout the country. Bryce Canyon’s new entrance fees are: $30 per single, private, non-commercial vehicle; $25 per motorcycle; and $15 per bicyclist or pedestrian. Each of these entrance permits is valid for seven days’ admission to Bryce Canyon National Park. “Bryce Canyon’s entrance fees support a wide range of projects that improve the park and visitor experiences,” says Bryce Canyon National Park Superintendent, Lisa Eckert. “Funds have been used to rehabilitate trails, de-
velop and install new exhibits in our visitor center, and operate the park’s shuttle system, to name but a few. As we prepare to celebrate the National Park Service’s centennial in 2016, entrance fees will continue to provide funding for infrastructure improvements so that visitors can enjoy the beauty and history that lives in our national parks.” The Bryce Canyon Annual Pass is one of many passes available for purchase (or in some cases, at no cost) through the America the Beautiful National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass program: • Bryce Canyon Annual Pass: $35 annual pass. Available to everyone. Waives entrance fees at Bryce Canyon National Park. • Interagency Annual Pass: $80 annual pass. Available to everyone. Waives entrance fees at all federal fee areas. • Interagency Military Annual Pass: Free annual pass. Available to U.S. military members and dependents in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard, and also Reserve and National Guard members. Waives entrance fees at all federal fee areas. • Interagency Senior Pass: Annual Park Pass Cont'd on page 2

Bryce Canyon Airport Hosts Pilots, Historic Warplanes and Community Open House for 2nd Annual Fly-In
PANGUITCH - Bryce Canyon’s picturesque airport will open its doors this Saturday, August 29, for a day of history, learning and fun at the second annual Fly-In and Airport Appreciation Day. A new attraction this year will be the addition of three restored warplanes that will join other aircraft landing at the airport. The public is invited to view the planes and talk with the pilots of a Beech T-34 Mentor, Chinese Nanchang CJ-6A, and North American T-6 Texan. “My aircraft has been restored and is painted in honor of No. 133 Eagle Squadron based at Biggin Hill in 1942,” Pilot Todd McCutchan of Scottsdale, Ariz., said of his Beech T-34. “The T-34 served with the U.S. Military as a primary trainer for more than 60 years.” The celebrated warplanes will complement the Bryce Canyon Airport’s own unique history. Built in 1934, the hangar’s rustic ponderosa pine logs and gabled roof have made it an iconic fixture of the area’s landscape and earned the airport a spot on the National Register of Historic Places. “It’s exciting to welcome new visitors and local residents to our landmark airport,”
said Airport Assistant Manager Tye Ramsay. “From warplanes and classic cars to the free lunch and prizes, we’ve planned a day full of fun for families to enjoy.” The fly-in portion of the event invites pilots to land their planes at the airport for free and then take a shuttle to visit the famous scenery of Bryce Canyon National Park. “One of the great things about our airport is its proximity to the national park,” said Falyn Owens, executive director of the Garfield County
Tourism Office. “Once pilots land, they are just a few minutes away from experiencing the red rock hoodoos of Bryce Canyon.” Another new addition this year will be a free barbecue lunch of hamburgers and hot dogs as part of the Airport Appreciation Day Open House. From 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday, the public is invited to enjoy the lunch and explore and learn more about the airport. Activities also include prize drawings, giveaways, and an antique car show with
awards given to the best car from three divisions (classic to 1960, 1961 to 1990, and 1991 to modern). Local boy scouts will also be able to earn their aviation merit badge from the airport’s ground-school pilot. Pilots interested in attending the fly-in can register by calling the Bryce Canyon Airport at 435-834-5239. The event is open to all aircraft. Pre-registered aircraft will receive a 30-cent, per-gallon fuel discount. —Garfield County Tourism Office

Final Concert of Guitar Series Draws Overflow Crowd
Insider
Classical guitarist Michael Chapdelaine performed Friday, August 21 at the DUP Schoolhouse in Torrey.
The ability to delude yourself may be an important survival tool. —Jane Wagner
TORREY - Last Friday's performance by Michael Chapdelaine, the final concert in this summer's four-part series sponsored by Utah Classical Guitar, was a standing room only event with audience members spilling out the door and onto the lawn of the DUP Schoolhouse in Torrey. As the performance began, Chapdelaine situated himself before the crowd, tuning his guitar and reviewing his set list. He quipped with a smile to those sitting closest, "Don't be reading my notes, it's just a list of possibilities." After that, he proved that he can do just about anything with a guitar, weaving between works from other classical guitar composers to his own compositions, drawn largely from his recent album, "Land of Enchantment," which is inspired by his life and the landscape of his home in New Mexico.
Chapdelaine interspersed the evening with a number of well known rock-and-roll numbers, including Otis Redding's "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay," the Beatles' "Come Together" and the Mamas and the Papas' "California Dreamin." Chapdelaine clearly pleased the crowd, fulfilling his intention to convey that classical guitar is, "So much more than music by dead white guys in northern Europe," he said. Now in its 34th year, Utah Classical Guitar is a non profit organization based in Salt Lake City, whose purpose is to improve the lives of Utah's community through classical guitar music performance, education, and outreach. Plans are already underway for a 2016 classical guitar concert series in Torrey, building on the success of this year's events. —Insider

USDA Announces Incentives to Establish Biomass Crops WASHINGTON - U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) Administrator Val Dolcini announced that enrollment begins today for farmers and forest landowners seeking financial assistance for growing new sources of biomass for energy or biobased products within designated projects areas. The funds are available from the Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP), which was reauthorized by the 2014 Farm Bill. Biomass energy facilities or groups of producers may submit proposals for new BCAP project areas. Proposals will be accepted on www. grants.gov through Nov. 6, 2015. USDA will also allocate $7.7 million towards four existing BCAP project areas in New York, North Carolina, Ohio/Pennsylvania and Kansas/Oklahoma, targeting the establishment of an additional 10,500 acres of shrub willow, giant miscanthus, and switchgrass for energy. Project area sponsors include Chemtex International, Aloterra Energy LLC, Abengoa Biomass LLC and ReEnergy Holdings LLC. Farmers and forest landowners may enroll for biomass establishment and maintenance payments for these four sites through Sept. 25, 2015. In June, USDA began accepting applications from foresters and farmers seeking financial assistance for removing biomass residues from fields or national forests for delivery to energy generation facilities; the deadline for those applications is Sept. 4, 2015. The retrieval payments are provided at a cost-share match of $1 for $1 up to $20 per dry ton with eligible crops
including corn residue, diseased or insect infested wood materials, or orchard waste. The energy facility must first be approved by USDA to accept the biomass crop, and deliveries to the facilities can continue until Dec. 11, 2015. The 2014 Farm Bill authorizes funding each year for the program to assist with the establishment and delivery of biomass for energy or biobased products. To date, BCAP has provided incentives for producers across more than 48,000 acres in 71 counties and 11 different project areas. For more information on the program or to enroll in updates, visit www.fsa.usda.gov/ bcap or contact your local FSA county office. To find your nearest FSA county office, visit http://offices.usda.gov. The 2014 Farm Bill builds on historic economic gains in rural America over the past six years, while achieving meaningful reform and billions of dollars in savings for taxpayers. Since enactment, USDA has made significant progress to implement each provision of this critical legislation, including providing disaster relief to farmers and ranchers; strengthening risk management tools; expanding access to rural credit; funding critical research; establishing innovative public-private conservation partnerships; developing new markets for ruralmade products; and investing in infrastructure, housing, and community facilities to help improve quality of life in rural America.

Magnolia's Street Food, a terrific new four-wheel eatery at Anasazi State Park Museum. New Taste in Boulder Cont'd from page 1
off he went to Montana, serving up well-tuned hearty fare at a dude ranch in Yellowstone. Then he found Boulder, initially as a seasonal cook at Hell's Backbone Grill. He alternated between there and the venerable Sawtooth Hotel in Stanley, Idaho (pop: 63). A few year's ago, he abandoned the commute and chose Boulder, where Hell's Backbone became his employer of choice. But if you've seen the recent film, Chef, you'll understand that for some in the kitchen, there's a passion to do it on your own terms. The movie tells the story of a talented cook who abandons the establishment, renovates an old food truck, and finds himself in a way that is both delicious and gratifying. I can't speak for Garin's motivations, but I can for his menu. The Carnitas Tacos are outstanding: crispy tender pork accompanied with homemade pickled onions, fresh

cabbage, cilantro, lime and a variety of freshly made salsas. I haven't tried the burritos or gorditas yet, but others tell me they're sumptuous. I washed my meal down with limeade of Haylee's creation. It was a perfect accompaniment for the tacos and that particularly hot afternoon. If you just want to cool off, stop by for one of their artisanal Mexican paletas (popsicles). Think of a coconut creme peach paleta as a swamp-cooler for the mouth. Like other Boulder restaurants, Magnolia's Street Food sources what they can
locally and are selective about what goes from their kitchen into your belly. Prices are affordable.

WASHINGTON - Farm Service Agency Administrator Val Dolcini today encouraged producers to examine the available U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) crop risk protection options, including federal crop insurance and Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) coverage, before the sales deadline for fall crops. “Deadlines are quickly approaching to purchase coverage for fall-seeded crops,” said Dolcini. "We remind producers that crops not covered by insurance may be eligible for the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program. The 2014 Farm Bill expanded NAP to include higher levels of protection. Beginning, underserved and limited resource farmers are now eligible for free catastrophic level coverage, as well as discounted premiums for additional levels of protection." Federal crop insurance covers crop losses from natural adversities such as drought, hail and excessive moisture. NAP covers losses from natural disasters on crops for which no permanent federal crop insurance program is available, including forage and grazing crops, fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, floriculture, ornamental nursery, aquaculture, turf grass, ginseng, honey, syrup, bioenergy, and industrial crops. USDA has partnered with Michigan State University and the University of Illinois to create an online tool at www.fsa.usda.gov/nap that allows producers to determine whether their crops are eligible for federal crop insurance or NAP and to explore the best level of protection for their operation. NAP basic coverage is available at 55 percent of the average market price for crop losses that exceed 50
percent of expected production, with higher levels of coverage, up to 65 percent of their expected production at 100 percent of the average market price, including coverage for organics and crops marketed directly to consumers. Deadlines for coverage vary by state and crop. To learn more about NAP visit www.fsa.usda.gov/nap or contact your local USDA Service Center. To find your local USDA Service Centers go to http://offices.usda.gov. Federal crop insurance coverage is sold and delivered solely through private insurance agents. Agent lists are available at all USDA Service Centers or at USDA’s online Agent Locator: http://prodwebnlb.rma.usda.gov/apps/ AgentLocator/#. Producers can use the USDA Cost Estimator, https://ewebapp.rma. usda.gov/apps/costestimator/ Default.aspx, to predict insurance premium costs. NAP was reauthorized by the 2014 Farm Bill. The Farm Bill builds on historic economic gains in rural America over the past six years, while achieving meaningful reform and billions of dollars in savings for taxpayers. Since enactment, USDA has made significant progress to implement each provision of this critical legislation, including providing disaster relief to farmers and ranchers; strengthening risk management tools; expanding access to rural credit; funding critical research; establishing innovative publicprivate conservation partnerships; developing new markets for rural-made products; and investing in infrastructure, housing and community facilities to help improve quality of life in rural America.

Bill Muse grew up in Mt. Olympus Hills, Utah, when it was still “country”. At eight years old, in partnership with his nine year old cousin, he bought his first horse. They paid $60 for a mare named “Bess”. As a horse-crazy little boy, he read every book in the “Black Stallion” series by Walter Farley, checking them out of the school library as soon as they became available. He noticed from the library card in the back of each book that a girl named Adalee was doing the same thing. Eventually they met, and by the time they were sixteen, they were married. At first, both worked at the Midway Racetrack as gallop girl and gallop boy, but their ambition was to breed, raise, train and race their own horses, and by 1973 they were able to incorporate Muse Farms as a business. They would buy long yearlings or take in colts from clients, conditioning them and training them out of the gate. When ready to race, these young horses would be sent to California to the sales or to the Centennial track in Denver. Bill and Adalee worked with both thoroughbreds and quarter horses, but predominantly thoroughbreds. Bill said they also sent horses to Turf Paradise in Phoenix, where a lot of Utah horses raced and on to the California tracks “if you had the horse”. Two that went to Santa Anita in California stand out because they were ridden by the famous jockey, Willie Shoemaker. A horse Bill called “Abbie” moved their career into the next phase. A granddaughter of Count Fleet and Native Dancer, Bill saw her the day she was born. He approached the owner, Tom Dyke, and said “I just have to have her.” Tom looked at Bill and said “O-o-o-h Billy. I have to teach you the art of negotiation.” So
Abbie, registered “Countess Obedient” became the foundation mare for Muse Farms. All the black horses that still graze Bill & Adalee's pastures are descendents of that special horse. She was the first horse of their own that went to Centennial. She'd won two races in Utah then won second in the Utah Futurity, and then it was on to Denver where she won again. Bill and Adalee were 21 years old. “We wanted to win the Kentucky Derby. Still do, but damn......” They kept Abbie her whole life, until she died at the fairly young age of just 19. Operating on a shoestring, they sold most of Abbie's colts, but they kept one, the big black horse called “Valley Count” who became their primary breeding stud. He was the result of a breeding to a son of Native Dancer from a European line. Bill laughed when he said that with Valley Count he had his dream “Black Stallion” just like in all the books he'd read as a kid. He was a thoroughbred Bill could do anything with. He won his first race at 50-1 odds and was scheduled to race in Phoenix, but after Bill had loaded him into the trailer and the driver started down the road, Bill got all choked up, changed his mind, chased the trailer down, unloaded Valley and brought him home to stay. He said, “I rode him everywhere, I'd ride him down and swim in the lake, and one day we raced the 'Heber Creeper', the train, and won. I've never had anything like him.” In 1974, Bill had broken his back and was having to take it easy for a year. Adalee had fallen in love with Boulder on a camping trip she'd taken with the kids to Calf Creek. When she brought Bill down, they parked up on the hogback and she pointed down into the valley and said “I want to live there.” Twenty years later they

but nothing like the speeds a horse could manage on a track. Bill's training methods, much like the Ray Hunt-type work that is fairly common today among clinicians, were somewhat unusual when he was first employing them. He refers to his round pen work as a “Medicine Circle” and taught his horses to perform three speeds at every gait at liberty. The advantage, of course, is communication and control, both of which can give an edge in a race or any other performance work. Now the Muse herd is greatly reduced. He has a paint thoroughbred stud and a dozen or so very nice mares. Bill gets around in his 4-wheel “mule” and still trains a bit, doing ground work but not riding anymore. Horses have always been in his life and it was horses that gave him the life he has loved.

Welcome Back I would personally like to welcome all of the students in Garfield County School District to a new school year. I know the teachers are ready to welcome students into their new classrooms. I have confidence in the teachers in our District to provide a caring environment where students feel safe, valued and receive a high level of academic instruction. The District has hired nine highly qualified new teachers for the 2015-2016 school year. The teachers have participated in GCSD Core Academy where they have developed scope and sequence in the new Reading Wonders program. I appreciate the time and effort the teachers have dedicated to understanding the new reading curriculum. Parents of elementary students will see the new Reading Wonders program coming home with students this year. Many employees have spent numerous hours during the summer to prepare for the first day of school. I appreciate the custodians and classified personnel in the District who work during summer to assure the facilities, school lunch, and transportation are ready to begin the year. For elementary students, please write your students names on backpack, lunchboxes, or items your students may leave behind. Please review the materials sent home by the schools and your child’s teacher at the beginning of the year to help them understand the procedures and expectations in the classroom. If you have any questions, please contact your child’s teacher for additional clarifications or the building administrator. Students, welcome to the beginning of another successful year! —Superintendent Ben Dalton

Orton Takes First at SUU Cross Country Meet The big news for the high school this last weekend was Whittni Orton, she won the cross country meet at SUU. This was a huge race with all of the teams in Southern Utah participating. Whittni led the whole race and pulled away at the finish. Whittni, a 3 time 1A champion, was competing against 3A runners and she showed them who was best in Southern Utah. The Cross Country officially starts on Aug. 27 against Parowan and that meet will be run up at Brian Head. Parowan’s school has been lowered to 1A status and they were noted for their cross country teams in 2A. Then out to Milford on Sept.3,
the race there is run on the golf coarse and you can watch the whole race. The Lady Cats Volleyball team has gotten off to a slow start with a pair of losses against Kanab and Dixie. The Cats played both teams tough and were really close in each of the games. Two of the starters are injured and I believe this may make a big difference and the Lady Cats quest for another State Championship, but with any good team others step up to fill the gap. Last night Hurricane came calling and hopefully the Cats will be at full strength. On August 28 and 29 the Cats will be down to the Dixie Tournament (JV).
Last Friday and Saturday the Bob Cats hosted the Grand Slam tournament and came away with two wins against one loss. Losing to Valley and beating two northern teams quite handily. The Cats' seasons got off to a start last night when they went up to Piute for an away game. Next week the Bob Cats travel out to Escalante on Sept 2 and Bryce Valley will be here on the 4th. This should be a fun season for all of the PHS Bob Cats teams, now is the time to get your season tickets, the earlier you get your tickets the more bang you get for your buck.
WCGYB go to the Summer Games in Cedar City CEDAR CITY - Wayne County Girls Youth Basketball traveled to Cedar City, Utah next for the Utah Summer Games. Due to conflicts the young team walked into their first challenging situation with 8 players set to play 10 games over the two day tournament. In their usual fashion the girls, stepped up ready for the challenge. They started out on Friday playing Canyon View's Junior Varsity team. WCGYB came out strong, with everybody contributing in the twenty point win. Courtney Jackson, daughter of Jared and Charity Jackson of Hanksville, led the way with 19 points, 6 rebounds and 4 steals. Kassidy Ellett followed her lead with 4 three pointers contributing to her 18 points, 5 assists, and 2 steals. Sam Crane added another 3 pointer to help add another 5 points, with Hannah Morrill and Brynnli Nelson also contributing 4 points each. (WCGYB 50 Canyon View 30) The girls then went into their next game against Snow Canyon's Varsity team. Relying on their quickness and their hard work they worked hard to stay with the strong Snow Canyon team until the last few minutes where the young team got in foul trouble and lost by 6 points. The coach came up to the coaching staff after the game asking the girls ages amazed at how this young team was so quick and impressed with their shooting ability, noting that they had 10 three pointers this game. Kassidy Ellett led the way with 5 three pointers, Sam Crane added 3, and Courtney Jackson added 2 more to give the girls their 10 for the game. (WCGYB 46 Snow Canyon 52) After a tough close game with Snow Canyon the girls headed into their third game of the day, mental and physical exhaustion started to show as they battled it out against Beaver's Varsity. Beaver took the lead early and maintained it throughout the game as the girls struggled to find an offensive pace to help them score. Hannah Morrill, an incoming freshman worked hard in the post bringing down 5 defensive rebounds, 3 offensive rebounds, and having 2 steals and 1 block. She was joined by Sami Knutson, who had 6 rebounds, and 2 blocks. Although aggressive, and even with Kassidy's 3 three pointers and Courtney's 2 three pointers it still wasn't enough to pull ahead of the strong Beaver team. (WCGYB 28 Beaver 38) As the day came to an end the girls struggled in their last two games to fight past their mental and physical exhaustion taking two tough losses to Lincoln Co and Richfield. (WCGYB 35 Lincoln Co 54) (WCGYB 30 Richfield 60)
Hannah Morrill finishing strong during the Cedar City Summer Games. After taking in their losses and now joined with Sierra Blackburn, the next morning WCGYB came back stronger as they battled the Las Vegas Gamers Varsity team. Defense went into overdrive with Sierra Blackburn and Brynnli Nelson, both known for their defensive toughness, WCGYB had 15 steals for the win. Courtney Jackson again led her team with 21 points, while Kassidy Ellett added another 14 points and 6 steals. Samantha Crane also contributed 8 points in the win. (WCGYB 48 Las Vegas Gamers 35) The second game of the day started out quick as Kassidy, Brynnli and Sierra set the defensive tone with a combined 12 steals to take the lead by 8 in the first half. With Kassidy, Brynnli, and Courtney in foul trouble, Samantha Crane had to once again step up handling the ball. Hannah and Sam had to step in leadership roles and did well helping as the two young incoming 8th graders Quinsee Ellett and Kortney Knutson played. Sam led the way with 14 points, 4 assists, 3 steals, and 5 rebounds. Hannah followed her lead with 5 points, 3 steals, and 7 rebounds. Although they worked hard WCGYB lost their lead in the final minute of play and lost the game by 2 points to White Pine's JV team. (WCGYB 32 White Pine 32) Going into the third game of the day, WCGYB came out
with a lead learning from their mistakes the prior day they sat their starters exchanging them for minutes at a time while the younger girls played. Sami Knutson stepped into the leadership role with 3 steals, 2 assists, and 5 rebounds. Quinsee Ellett, following her older sisters example, led the team with 2 three pointers for 8 points and 4 steals. Kortney Knutson, daughter of Kevin and Misty Knutson added 2 steals and 2 defensive rebounds to give them the win over Enterprise's JV team. (WCGYB 24 Enterprise 23) The fourth game of the day was against White Pine's Varsity team. The girls started out slow allowing White Pine to quickly take a 17 point lead early in the game. Recognizing mistakes from the prior day the girls changed their attitude and Kassidy made two great passes to Hannah Morrill who finished strong changing the momentum at the end of the first half. The girls battled back against the 17 point deficit with Kassidy finding Hannah and Courtney which gave Courtney her 19 points in the game. Kassidy followed her 4 three pointers and 6 assists. Hannah Morrill added 7 points and 4 rebounds and Brynnli Nelson, another incoming freshman, added 4 steals to see WCGYB go into overtime where they defensive lost their momentum losing by 6. (WCGYB 49 White Pine 55)
Heading into the last game and with the girls fatigued, they took on Canyon View. Kassidy and Courtney kept their young team together for the win. Kassidy having 4 three pointers and Courtney followed with 11 points. Sierra Blackburn, an incoming sophomore, led the defensive way with 7 steals and 1 three pointer to contribute to the win over Canyon View. (WCGYB 31 Canyon View 24) Although hit with new obstacle, the girls rose to the challenge, adapting and learning as they went. They could see their hard work pay off as people commented and cheered over their work ethic and abilities. Some following them from game to game to watch. It was exciting to hear people talk about the girls and wonder where they were from knowing they were representing Wayne so well. It was neat to watch the girls confidence grow as they realized their potential. These opportunities for these girls to showcase their hard work and for them to grow would not be possible without our sponsors. Thank you to the Sponsor of this tournament.

Wills, Trusts, and More Estate Planning For Children by Jeffery J. McKenna
Potentially, the worst thing you can do is to leave your property to your minor children outright. If you do, the probate court would actually control this money until your children are adults. Leaving property directly to adult children can also have pitfalls, depending on the responsibility and maturity levels of each child. The best way to plan for minor children is by providing for them through a Common Trust. This can be created as a part of your will or trust. The trustee of the Common Trust can provide your children with as much income and principal of the trust as each child requires for his or her individual health, maintenance, support, and educational needs. The trustee can make sure that the children with the most needs are properly cared for. The Common Trust can ensure that your youngest child's basic needs are met before the assets are divided among all your children. A typical Common Trust remains in existence until your youngest child reaches a specific age. When the Common Trust terminates, you can then leave each child's share in his or her own Separate Trust, if desired, or allow outright distribution. Separate Trusts can call for distributions of the trust principal over time. For instance, the terms of a child's trust could provide that a child is to receive one-third of the trust share upon reaching the age of 30, one-third at age 35, and the balance at age 40. The trustee of the child's Separate Trust can be given the discretion to distribute principal and income for your child’s basic needs, as well as special needs of buying a house, or purchasing a business. If your child dies before the complete distri-
bution of his or her trust share, you can control where the assets will then pass. Leaving property to your children in trust as opposed to outright can protect your children from their own youth or inexperience with handling money. Many young people are overwhelmed by immediate and uncontrolled wealth, and their inheritance can prove to be a source of destruction rather than a blessing. Your child may no longer see a need to continue getting an education, to maintain good grades, or to remain employed. With older children, their newfound wealth may provide them with too much unproductive time and independence. They may spend too much, quickly and unproductively. This, in turn, can put a strain on their family life. Leaving property in trust for your children can provide them with protection from their creditors, from an unsuccessful marriage, or from constant requests for loans from relatives or friends. It can provide them with crucial asset management and investment assistance to help preserve the inheritance. The factors which need to be considered to best determine the amount of money to leave a child and in which manner are the following: His or her age, the individual’s maturity and financial savvy, and the amount of the child's own

estate. Also to be considered are the child's relationship with his or her spouse and family, the standing with creditors, and individual needs. They key to proper planning for children is not simply to leave money, but to leave money intelligently. WITH A SATELLITE OFFICE NOW IN PANGUITCH. Jeffery J.

tHe lAuGhiNg pOiNt!! Gift Card A Bad Day
As he paid for our meal with a gift card, my husband noticed the bill was more than the card was worth, so he handed our waiter his debit card to cover the balance. "Wow, some people might have skipped out and stuck me with the difference," the waiter said. "Thank you for being so honest." Then, as he took the card, he asked, "Could I see some ID?"
It was one of the worst days of my life: The washing machine broke down, the telephone kept ringing, my head ached, and the mailman brought a bill I had no money to pay. Almost to the breaking point, I lifted my one-year-old into his high chair, leaned my head against the tray, and began to cry. Without a word, my son took his pacifier out of his mouth and stuck it in mine.
Pain Scale
When a patient was wheeled into the emergency room, the nurse on duty asked her, "On a scale of zero to ten with zero representing no pain and ten representing excruciating pain, what would you say your pain level is now?" The patient shook her head. "Oh, I don't know. I'm not good with math."

Evening Treasures by Winnie Washburn
Last rows of hay wait bailer's sweep The flocks of sheep lie down to sleep While crows swing south in homing flight As evening closes into night. Late clump of sparrows crowd to feed Last bites of sun-rip flower seeds, Near meadow face away from sight As evening closes into night. The distant mountain shadows flow Up red rock cliffs, last rosy glow Far Cedar Breaks still shines with light As evening closes into night. New moon swings low where glow takes flight As evening closes into night. From Escalante's poetry workshop, June 2015
Kitchen Help
A husband came home to an empty house one day and decided he would start dinner. First, he would make the salad. He searched high and low for the big bowl for making the salad and finally found it in the refrigerator, half full of Kool Aid. "Who on earth put Kool Aid in a bowl?" He looked around and found some empty pop bottles, rinsed them out and using a funnel, transferred the Kool Aid to the soda bottles and returned them to the fridge. He then made the salad and was starting the rest of the dinner when his wife came home. She had been to the store and was putting some things in the fridge, when suddenly she asked her husband, "Who on earth put my Jello in soda bottles?"

Again the big news for the week was the ATV Rally. This year's Rally had 285 registered riders and from what I hear everyone had a great time and will be back next year. Saturday’s rides were all completed prior to the rain! This Rally has grown by leaps and bounds and may eventually be the biggest event in the summer. The first year there were only 25 signed up and last year they had just over 200 riders enjoying our country sides. Many thanks to all of those that had a hand in making this event such a success, especially Joe Orman and Carla Farnsworth for all of the work that they have put into this event from the start. The ATV Rally is the last event of the summer and if you look back at the start of the season with the Quilt Walk, there has only been a couple of weekends all summer that something wasn’t going on. On Labor Day weekend over in Parowan they will be having their County Fair and Parade. So if you are looking for something to do on the holiday check out this event. With this being an election year, look for the parade that is really long (two hours) to be even longer. They also have a really good car show that is always free. School started yesterday and that means that our entertainment will be the high
school activities. There are a couple of events in November. A Veterans Day Dinner that all Veterans are invited to on November 11 will be at the Senior Citizens Center. We will again have our 6th annual Thanksgiving dinner that all are invited to which is also held at the Senior Citizens Center (however, ALL AGES are welcome)! Speaking of Veterans, those that belong to the American Legion, your annual dues need to be paid. There are 22 members in our Chapter and only 5 have paid their dues. The dues are due on August 1st and run $30.00 a year. We are always looking for new members to help us with the military funerals. The Honor Guard has a new look; we will be in military fatigues, which makes us look more professional. I apologize for not informing you about the agriculture water being turned off, I learned about it after I had put out my hoses on Wednesday, and there wasn’t any water and I called and sure enough it was shut off on the 16th. This was the earliest that I can remember the water being shut off, but with getting hardly any snow last winter it’s no wonder we are out of water this early. Yesterday's big rain storm really saved the day for
the lawns in town and hopefully there will be more of the same. I am thrilled that we finally have a City election and we have some interest in these positions. With the new annexation in town it gave a number of young people the opportunity to run for office that may bring some positive change to the town. Oil has dropped down to $40.00 a barrel, the lowest level in 10 years. Gas prices are falling all over the country with a national average $2.64 and Utah at $2.76 ranks in 35th place. Richfield still is the lowest $2.65, what is really weird is their diesel is $2.58 a gallon. COSTCO in St. George 87 octane is at $2.68. At this time last year the cost of gas was $3.44, I don’t remember ever
in the summer time when gas prices ever went down. What goes up doesn’t come down anymore, air fares skyrocketed when fuel prices went through the roof they just had to be raised to off set fuel costs. However, with the fuel cost going down, the air companies decided to keep prices up to make bigger profits. Many of people have quit flying because of the high costs and in August their business has fallen by the largest amount in 20 years, which may lead to higher fares to make up for the loss of passengers. Same thing with asphalt—it went up with the high cost of oil and now it is cheaper to use concrete than asphalt. If you have any thing exciting give me a call. Mack O.

Carl and Mary-Miller enjoyed a visit by two of their grandsons. Lake Carter was able to fly out with CarlThomas Carter for his first summer visit to Tropic. He had a fun get-together with new friends, had friends over for play days, and hiked in Kodachrome. Carl-Thomas was delighted to see a large number of his friends from past years. He helped the Boyds with odd jobs when he wasn't driving the truck around the countryside. Mary-Miller missed part of Carl-Thomas's visit when she got an unexpected call to baby sit their one year old Aussie granddaughter, Harper Naylor, while Mom Emily attended job training back in Kentucky. Paula Henrie is so very proud of her daughter! Chantel rocked her ICC scholarship presentation and scored a $1,000 dollar scholarship!!! Way to go young lady. We are all so proud of your accomplishment. Marion and Catherine Littlefield had a great family get together on Saturday. They celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary and had ALL of their family in attendance along with so many friends and family members. Marion says "Thanks" for all the people who came and wished a happy 50th'! And for all the Facebook friends that sent their best regards. You just can't imagine how much that means to Catherine and Marion. They say they can't begin to thank enough Lynette L. and Wally Orton, Tracy Littlefield and Brett Chynoweth, Austin and Mitch Littlefield and Sharlene Littlefield for all the work they did to make the party so wonderful. Marion and Catherine we love you both and wish you many more years together being happy and loving each other. We send out our thoughts and prayers to Lula Moore who is in the Garfield Memorial Hospital with congestive heart problems. We all love this wonderful lady and wish her the very best. She's doing a lot better. She might get to go home tomorrow. She said that she will walk home if she has to. Can't keep a stubborn women down if her mind is made up. Stay safe Lula and get well. Today is my last Sunday here :( and I would love to
keep up with this wonderful ward and you wonderful people. Here's my mission email and address: lyssa.lumgair@ myldsmail.net. Sister Lyssa Jean Lumgair, Washington Seattle Mission, 10675 NE 20th St., Bellevue WA 98004 USA I'll love and miss you guys, and I hope to be back again summer of 2017. Hi Everyone!!! Lexi's (LeFevre) companion gave her her new address wrong :(. The correct address is: Sister Lexi Rae LeFevre, 28 Llanfair Rd. Apt 4B, Ardmore, PA 19003. We send our thoughts and prayers to Clint Mecham as he goes for tests on his leg where they are treating Melanoma. We will keep you in our prayers. Since Jill Nowers has retired from the flower business (and we sure miss her), many of us have wondered where to order flowers. I have the name of Brook Boger at 435-5904561. She lives in Panguitch and is doing the work on flowers. Congratulations to Kathy Mecham on being called to be the Escalante Stake Family History Stake Director. Good luck Kathy on this new calling. In Tropic today we heard from Katie Stewart, Clay Mortensen, and Max Stewart. Jay Evans of the "Bar G Wranglers played his guitar and sang a beautiful rendition of "I Need Thee Every Hour." In Cannonville the Relief Society Presidency were the speakers, Stephanie Brinkerhoff, Shantel Manning, and Katie Beesley. On August 29th the D.U.P. will be holding their annual DUP Jubilee at the Heritage Center in Tropic.All Officers need to be in attendance and anyone else interested in joining this event can attend. It starts at 10:00 A.M. and lunch will be served. It is Pot Luck and the Pahreah Camp has been assigned the salads, green jello, macaroni or such. Hope to see you Daughters of Utah Pioneer members there. We want Delpha Rose to know that we are thinking about her and will keep her in our prayers as she recovers from a leg infection. Nathan and Lori Platt took their little son, David, up to the Primary Children's Hospital to have his tonsils out. He is doing well and would like to come home.
In Henrieville the Relief Society Presidency spoke, Gayle Moore, Marie Jagger, Lisa Chynoweth, and Cindy Johnson. The Primary Children sang some special songs for the congregation. School started on Wednesday, August 26th. Most of the kids were looking forward to seeing friends and keeping busy with school work. Teachers are prepared to meet parents on Back To School Night on Tuesday the 25th. Hope you all have a great year. The smoke from all the fires along the west coast has been terrible. It felt like you were in a mystery place because there were actually spots were you could not see the mountains around us and on the freeway there was a lot of smoke so you could not see very far down the road. The news says there is hope they have a hold on some of the fires in Oregon. Spoke to some lady on the phone who lives in Washington and she was saying the fire was a mile from their ranch. They had to move their livestock out for safety but she feels like they will be able to save the buildings. How scary that would be. Thanks to a lot of moisture here lately we don't seem to be having the same problem as far as big fires go. We wish it would stay that way. Many of our locals are fighting those fires out on the coast and we
sure hope they stay safe and the fires die down and they can come home soon to their families. Safely. We owe a lot to these wonderful fire fighters who put their lives on the line to keep us all safe. In some cases they have called out some National Guard to help fight the fires and in one place in either Washington or Oregon they have asked for civilian volunteers to help fight the fires before they come into their towns. George and Judy Buckingham live in Oregon and we hope they are safe from the fires. George was a range in BCNP and Judy taught 1st grade at BVE for many years. Senior Citizens a reminder that the bus will be traveling to St. George on August 28th. Also on Tuesdays they hold their "Walk With Ease" exercise class at 12:30 every Tuesday. Drawing of the "Mystery Box" is held on the last Wednesday each month for prizes. You must be there to win. Also on Wednesdays they will play Bingo the 2nd Wednesday and the Health Nurse will be at the Senior Center every month. Hearing Specialist will be in the county once a month and you must call for the date she will be at the Center. Hope you all had a great week and you will stay safe and healthy this coming week.

Dorsey II AUGUST 23, 2015 Pearl Harbor was a silent, sitting duck in the passive Pacific Ocean, while the Second World War was still being waged against the Germans in Europe, a time when Charles Kelly first came to Wayne County, in 1941 to visit his good friend “Doc” Inglesby. Charles Kelly was a printer by trade but was better known as a history buff and writer. The story goes that Kelly’s dream was to acquire an established fruit orchard, but later complained he was unable to make such a purchase because of the exorbitant price of property that went “sky high” at the outset of World War II. Some sources say Kelly became acting custodian of the newly formed Capitol Reef monument in 1942, but records show that it was apparently May of 1943 when the Superintendent of Zion allowed Kelly and his wife Harriet to occupy the newly acquired Alma Chesnut’s homestead in exchange for care taker services. 1941 was a troubled time for Brother Chesnut, and after the devastating flood of 1938 that took out most of his peach trees, it was then that Alma Chesnut began to lose his faith for a productive life in Fruita, it was also at a time when Alma Chesnut came to the conclusion that it was an opportune time to sell his “Peach Pit” property to the United States Government, late in the year of 1941. There is a line in one of James McMurtry’s songs “Painting by numbers” that sort of sums up Kelly’s first few years’ of employment by the government at Capitol Reef. “You take out the garbage and hope someday if pays off.” A lyrical line that still rings true today, kinda, but visibly apparent these days it is more beneficial if you are somehow related. In the years from 1941 to 1961, no other Fruita property owners sold their prized Fruita property to the park service. In what was considered to be a godsend the Roosevelt administration's Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) arrived in Wayne County and at once employed local individuals to assist in the construction of a few park facilities that included flood control structures and a red rock ranger station, ending what Kelly quipped as a “truly pioneer existence”. Wartime funding hindered much of the needed infrastructure progress in Capitol Reef; much desired electric service didn’t arrive to Fruita until
1948. Dee Hatch remembers that the Ranger station was the first time that Garkane Power had ever run an underground service. “We ran a steel pipe with some #6 wire in it from a pole to a meter socket on the outside of the Ranger Station, all the other services we ever installed up to that time were done over head,” Dee declared as he tilted back his coveted Garkane ball cap. Another one of Kelly’s primary beefs was the lack of management of Fruita’s irrigation system and at one point he tried to organize a “ditch company,” his misguided proposal was not well received and one of the local men “threatened to throw me in the river for suggesting such an idea,” Kelly, in his advancing age, once recollected. The threat of being physically picked up and thrown bodily in the river or irrigation ditch was a favorite form of intimidation often used by the biggest bully on the ditch in those days, and more times than not it worked. Not so surprising and still secret today are the details on how some irrigation water is often managed. In the case of Fruita in the early days, water disputes were often settled through the inspirational assistance of the Torrey Bishop, not so much or at all in present day. There is little doubt or has anyone ever refuted the idea that moonshining took place in and around Fruita and Torrey, particularly due to the yearly bounteous crop of fruit and grain available in Wayne County during the time of prohibition. George Davidson once confirmed a still site at “Whiskey Springs” and stated that although sheep shearers reputedly bought most of the distilled product, much of it was consumed locally and more times than not “the moonshiner himself was his own best customer”. Max Robinson tells a story about when he and his brother Clay were kids that they came across a “still” in close proximity to the old Sulphur (Sand) Creek road about a hundred or so yards from the old Cass Mulford ranch, the mischievous Robinson brothers dismantled the still and hid the various “still” parts in the desert brush. One day when the “still” owner went to check on his “copper creation” and saw it was missing he got real nervous thinking the “government revenuers” were on his trail and at once made the instant decision to go visit a rumored distant cousin in St. George. 95-year-old Max al-
ways chuckles in that throaty laugh of his when he tells that story. Kelly’s complaint about “drinking” slaps the very face of hypocrisy; it appears too, that through local testimony that Kelly himself was a problem drinker. It was widely known that one of the reasons Kelly came to Fruita was to grow grapes, “He was a more or less a drunkard, a wino” recalls an early anonymous Fruita resident. As some local records suggest most local people were reticent about criticizing Kelly either pointedly or directly, or did they ever suggest he did not try his darn-dest to get along with the people of Fruita. “Charles Kelly was a fine fellow to work for and would steer his best Sunday buggy in a wide arc around any conversations about religious matters, mostly because privately he was locally known as a “Mormon-Eater”. Another campaign Kelly undertook, which annoyed the local community was his opposition to mining in the park. In 1904 a claim was filed on a uranium mine in Grand Wash. At one time Tine Oyler of Fruita owned the claim and the ore was sold for medicinal purposes. Actually, the monument was open to uranium mining in February of 1952; by 1955 Kelly had succeeded in persuading the Park service to stop issuing mining permits. This obvious and intentional act was thought of as another type of government intervention instigated by Charles Kelly. One that overly distressed the residents of Fruita who were at the time enjoying the monetary benefits from the sale of homemade meals, country style lodging and a variety of well-known medicinal fruit beverages to the miners. In 1957 the road from Torrey to Fruita became a 10-mile ribbon of freshly laid asphalt, and like a slithering desert snake and an illusion, it often disappeared over a hump in the highway. In 1958, then President Dwight Eisenhower issued a proclamation enlarging the monument by almost 1,500 acres. In 1959 plans began to extend State Road 24 along the Fremont River, short cutting the previous route through Capitol Wash (Gorge). This action by the government required a rightof-way through many of the orchards on the north side of Sand (Sulphur) creek. It was then that the National Park Service decided to acquire “by hook or crook” private properties. Three Fruita property
owners sold out in 1961, but it was locally known that the Fruita orchard owners were not uniformly accepting of the property sale deal. The park began removing private structures related to tourism in the 1960’s. Dewey Gifford was one of the last to own property in Fruita and voluntarily sold his “little piece of Fruita paradise” in 1969, Dewey then took up a residence in Torrey in 1970. Claire Bird “a rather cantankerous fellow, and adamant park denouncer” involuntarily relinquished his ownership of the Capitol Reef Lodge in 1978, ending a long drawn out bitter battle with the “gubment,” the historical event became known as the last of the hand made square cut nails to be driven into the “fruit wood coffin” of the Mormon settlement known as Fruita. Despite the influx of “newcomers,” Fruita remained intact when Charles Kelly finally retired in 1959, and in the style of Claire Bird, Charles Kelly reluctantly, and with much personal trepidation handed over the well-worn Capitol Reef Park, “work horse reigns” to the infamous and much despised “Kaiser Kreuger”, (William Kreuger)… Kelly once grumbled in an interview at his retirement home somewhere in Salt Lake City. For some mystical reason, Charles Kelly’s 17 year, ever growing grip at the helm of the USS ship Capitol Reef somehow reminds me of “Oh, The Places You'll Go!” by Dr. Seuss, "Simple it's not, I'm afraid you will find, for a mind maker-upper to make up his mind." For our friendly fact checkers out there, references and quotes for this article of local interest include but are not limited to; one of my all time favorites, Anne Snow’s original edition and the beloved Red book “Rainbow Views.” Cathy A. Gilbert and Kathleen L. McCoy’s detailed report on the Cultural Landscape of Fruita, David R.M. White‘s book “By their fruits ye shall be known, a must read for fruit lovers and wannabe bootleggers. And last but not least occasional visits with the likes of Dee Hatch and Max Robinson and anyone else that can clearly remember the infinite challenges of the formative years of Capitol Reef National Park during the nineteen forties and fifties, and the encyclopedia memory of Maxwell Michael Ray.

OBITUARIES Calvin Lars Nelson 1926 - 2015 LOA - Our beloved husband, father, grandfather, greatgrandfather and great-great-grandfather, Calvin Lars Nelson, age 89, passed away peacefully at his home on August 19, 2015, surrounded by his family. Lars was born April 26, 1926, in Fremont, a son of Lewis Peter and Della Amelia Taylor Nelson. He was the seventh of eight children. He graduated from Wayne High School, Class of 1944 and was drafted into the US Army in December of 1944. He proudly served in WWII and developed a great love and respect for his country. When he returned from the military and looked over the valley of Wayne County, he said, "I hope I never leave this valley again." Except for a mission and a few short vacations, he never did. He was always grateful for the day he married his eternal sweetheart, the banker's beautiful daughter, Anita Brian, on January 30, 1948, in the Manti LDS Temple. Together they were blessed with five children and lived a happy life. Lars was a member of the LDS Church and served in many capacities, including Bishop of the Fremont Ward. He and Anita served an LDS Mission in Corpus Christi, Texas, and spent many rewarding years as ordinance workers in the Manti Temple. He had a strong testimony and eagerly shared it with others. Anita passed away on February 9, 2000. He married Rhea Jane Huntsman Jackson, July 22, 2002. He was active in the community, serving on the Fremont Culinary Water Works Board and as President of the Wayne County Farm Bureau. He also was an active member of the Harold Brown American Legion Post #92 and proudly served throughout his life. Lars loved his farm and worked hard to take care of it. He learned the art of welding and was one of the best repairmen around. Whenever one of his neighbors needed help, he would stop whatever he was doing to assist them. The things he loved most were spending time with his grandchildren, playing his harmonica, going to the Temple, and shearing and tending his sheep. He was the best Dad and Grandpa ever and he, with his cheerful attitude, will truly be missed. Lars is survived by his wife, Rhea of Loa; his children: Sandra (Deceased) and Gaylen and Nancy Rees of Grover; C. Leon and Becky Nelson of Highland; Diane and Raymond Potter of Torrey; Natalie and Bill Overton of Gallup, New Mexico; Stacie and Deven Gass of Circleville; 37 grandchildren; 44 greatgrandchildren; 1 great-great-grandchild; a sister, Berneal and Dee Hatch of Loa; and a brother-in-law: Monte and Elaine Ellett of Bicknell. His surviving step-children are: Therral and Judy Jackson, Elaine and Dale Young, Tom and Marilyn Jackson, Kevin and Berniece Jackson, Lynn and Pamela Jackson, Jane and Doug McPherson, Verla and Jeff Mehoves. He is preceded in death by his wife, Anita; a daughter, Sandra Lynn Nelson Rees; his parents; brothers and sisters: Ione and Wayne Blackburn, Vern Nelson, Twila and Fremon Sorensen, Kirk and Etta Nelson, Ellen and Deward Blackburn, Willis Spafford and Dorothy Ellett. Funeral services will be held Tuesday, August 25, 2015, at 1:00 PM in the Loa LDS Stake Center, where friends may call for viewing Monday evening from 6 to 8 PM 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 Fremont Cemetery under the care of the Springer Turner Funeral Home of Richfield and Salina, Utah.
