Get Ready for This Year's "Preparedness" Fair
GARFIELD & WAYNE CO. - The day starts out like any other. The alarm goes off and before long, the whole household is up and going. Perhaps your day includes getting kids off to school, getting a spouse out the door for work before you head out yourself. Maybe you have young children at home with you, perhaps even the neighbor’s children that you are watching for the day. Whatever your day normally includes, take just a moment and imagine this scenario: Mid morning of a typical day, you suddenly start to feel a tremble under your feet. This tremble grows stronger and stronger until soon everything is shaking. You are tossed to and fro while trying to keep an eye out for furniture that is also being thrown about the room. (Are you in an office or a room of your home where you have to worry about things falling from bookcases?) The room seems to bounce things around for what seems like forever before the tremors begin to taper off. Are you hurt? Can you help others or do you need help? What about your children? Do the ones at home with you know what to do? What about the ones at school? If you have children in multiple schools—perhaps you have them in elementary, middle and high schools— where do you go first, if you are even able to go get them? If your spouse left town today for work or shopping, can you
reach them? If phone lines are down or overloaded with calls, do you have a plan in place to turn to? If you can get all of your family members home tonight, will your house be a safe place for you to sleep? Do you have an alternative? Will you have water? Will you be able to cook meals? If this took place in the winter time, do you have adequate heat sources? What about lighting?
Fault lines run through Garfield County and we have heard for years that “it’s not if, but when the Big One hits”. The questions you should be asking right now are “If it happened today, would my family and I be ready?” “Will my neighbors?” Garfield and Piute Counties will have a Preparedness Fair held Saturday Septem-

Pictured left to right are Wes Curtis, Executive Director SUU, Carl Albrecht, and Lt. Governor Spencer Cox. LOA - Rural Utah has produced many outstanding leaders over the years, but few have been able to combine business leadership with community service as well as Carl Albrecht. In fact, when it comes to Carl, it’s hard to tell where his community service ends and business interests begin because one just flows naturally into the other. Whether it’s installing a power line or serving on the City Council, it’s all part of Carl’s lifelong desire to serve rural communities and rural residents in every way he can. Born in Salina, Utah, and raised in Bicknell, Utah, Carl
has been looked to from an early age as a natural leader. He was student body president of Wayne High School and two years later was elected student body president of StevensHenager College. As time progressed, Carl was also elected to serve on the Richfield City Council and on the Sevier District School Board. Carl worked for Garkane Energy for 40 years, serving 22 of those years as Garkane’s Chief Executive Officer. Under his leadership, Garkane Energy has seen the number of customers grow from a few thousand, to 16,000 customers across six Utah counties, and two counties

in Arizona. Through it all, Carl has made sure that Garkane is an engaged and contributing community citizen. One of the company’s core principles is to “work for sustainable development of the Cooperative’s communities.” It’s a principle that Carl has taken to heart. Carl has served with numerous community organizations and on many executive boards, including the Sevier County Jeep Posse, Chair of the Sevier Valley Applied Technology Center Board, the Snow College Board of Trustees, and Chair of the Snow Richfield Advisory Committee. Over 90 percent of Garkane’s service area is comprised of federal lands. Because of this, Carl has developed a particular expertise in public lands issues and in working with numerous stakeholders to solve difficult public lands challenges.

National Park Service Celebrates 98th Birthday
Sweetwater Kitchen at the Boulder Mountain Guest Ranch
Glen Canyon National Recreation Area Will Offer Free Admission on August 25 PAGE, AZ - Glen Canyon National Recreation Area will celebrate the 98th birthday of the National Park Service by waiving its normal entrance fee of $15 and providing a free ranger-led hike to the Hanging Gardens at 6:00 p.m. on Monday, August 25. More information about the hike can be found at www.nps.gov/glca. “We hope that everyone will come out and enjoy the fee-free day to celebrate this birthday ,” said Todd Brindle, Superintendent of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and Rainbow Bridge National Monument. “National parks belong to all Americans and offer something for everyone. So come visit Glen Canyon and Rainbow Bridge to enjoy our diverse recreation opportunities and the stunning resources we protect.” In 1872, Yellowstone National Park was established as the world’s first national park. There were 37 national parks in the United States when President Woodrow Wilson signed legislation to create the National Park Service on Aug. 25, 1916. Today, there are 401 national park units throughout the
country and each one tells an important part of the American story. Some commemorate notable people and achievements, others conserve magnificent landscapes and natural wonders, and all provide a place to have fun and learn. Plan your next visit to a park near you at www.nps.gov. Glen Canyon National Recreation Area was established in 1972 to provide for public enjoyment of landand water-based recreational opportunities and to protect scenic, scientific, natural and cultural resources. Last year, more than 2 million park visitors enjoyed Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and Rainbow Bridge National Monument, adding $118 million to the local economy and supporting 1473 area jobs. The mission of the National Park Service also extends beyond park boundaries. Community partnerships help preserve local history and create close-to-home recreational opportunities.

3621 Hell’s Backbone Rd. 435-335-7480 U.S. Forest Service Announces Deck Sale in Duck Creek Area Capitol Reef National Park Receives 2014 Impact Grant from the National Park Foundation TORREY - Capitol Reef National Park is one of 23 national parks selected to receive a 2014 Impact Grant from the National Park Foundation, the official charity of America’s national parks. Capitol Reef National Park is studying wildlife specifically to learn about bear, mountain lion, and mule deer use of the Historic Fruita area and to share findings and predator-prey relationships and natural history through public and school education programs. Now in its seventh year, the Impact Grants program provides national parks with the critical financial support they need to transform innovative, yet underfunded, ideas into successful in-park programs and initiatives. “Through our Impact Grants, we will help make a profound difference in our national parks by providing much-needed funding for projects that support habitat restoration, wildlife protection, and conservation research,” said Neil Mulholland, President and CEO of the National Park Foundation. Capitol Reef is using the grant funding to study predators in the park and provide public education.

tion intern Hannah Siroky will work as a team to begin a wildlife camera-trapping study, perform deer surveys, and create educational programming and materials for visitors and for local schools through education programs. The project will also fund involvement from students of Wayne High School in Bicknell, UT allowing them to assist with both the science and education components of the project. This project will allow for the purchase of wildlife cameras and equipment, assistance from an SCA intern, and provide travel stipend to support local school students’ participation. “We know mountain lions are in the Fruita area anecdotally, and this study will allow the park to begin to understand their frequency and use patterns,” says Chief of Interpretation Lori Rome. “It will also allow us to share the value and role of predators in an ecosystem with visitors and with local schools.” The 2014 Impact Grants recipients are: • Bryce Canyon National Park (UT) • Capitol Reef National Park (UT) • Congaree National Park (SC) • Coronado National Memorial (AZ) • Crater Lake National Park (OR) • Cumberland Gap National Historical Park (KY,TN,VA) • Dinosaur National Monument (CO,UT) • El Malpais & El Morro National Monuments (NM) • Fire Island National Seashore (NY) • Gateway National Recreation Area (NY, NJ) • George Washington Birthplace National Monument (VA) • Great Egg Harbor National Scenic & Recreational River (NJ) • Great Smoky Mountains National Park (NC,TN) • Guadalupe Mountains National Park (TX) • Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument (ID) • Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park (HI) • Little River Canyon National Preserve (AL) • Mammoth Cave National Park (KY) • Manassas National Battlefield Park (VA) • National Park Service RTCA Florida Field Office (FL) • Rocky Mountain National Park (CO) • Wupatki National Monument (AZ) • Yosemite National Park (CA)

The Dixie National Forest is offering a number of small and moderate size deck sales in an effort to reduce hazardous fuels and provide forest resources to the public. Deck sales are timber sales composed of trees that have been limbed, bucked and stacked. These decks are near roads and may contain a variety of tree species in a variety of sizes and lengths. The most common use of these decks is for commercial firewood purposes. The decked material is a result of the Duck Creek Fuel Reduction Project, where hazardous fuels are being treated to reduce wildfire intensity and severity as well as improve public and firefighter safety. To date, the Duck Creek Fuel Reduction Project has treated over 8,000 acres in the greater Duck Creek area.
Cedar City District Ranger Veronica Magnuson said “This is a great opportunity to provide for economic development as well as reduce hazardous fuels in the Duck Creek area.” The deck sales will be sold by competitive sealed bid where the individual who submits the highest bid will win the sale. The bid period is now open and will run until September 4th at 10:00 am. The sealed bids will be opened on September 4th. These deck sales will have a 2-year term. The bidder is responsible for inspecting the decks prior to bidding. A total of 12 deck sales will be offered with volumes ranging from around 200 cords to over 1300 cords per sale. For more information, contact the Dixie National Forest at 435.865.3200. —U.S. Forest Service

Wayne County's SUPER VOLUNTEER
Wayne County has a SUPER VOLUNTEER who always willingly thinks and acts on projects to benefit this county. She thinks of others and what can be done to make life a little easier and better. When you think of service, DIANE BORGERDING comes to mind. She saw a need to support the music and art department at Wayne High School and single-handedly acquired beautiful works of arts and music to be raffled off to benefit the school. Hopefully, the school will now have enough money to buy music and art supplies. She also volunteers in many other causes in the county such as the Angel Tree and Senior Sub-for-Santa at Christmas time. Torrey Town has benefited from many of her projects. The Senior Citizens always reap benefits of her volunteerism. Next time you see Diane, shake her hand, giver her a pat on the back and tell her THANK YOU! Marsha Chappell, Loa
Thank You Wayne County We are quickly coming to the end of what has been a remarkable summer for Wayne County. In the space of about six weeks Wayne County and our Communities have sponsored or been host to several major events, beginning with Apple Days and concluding with the Demolition Derby. In between were Capitol Reef Classic, Youth and Women's Music Festivals, Tour of Utah, Six County Association of County Governments Congressional Briefing and OHV tour, Utah Symphony and all of the events associated with Wayne County Fair. County and Community resources and personnel were stretched to the limit. We thank them and want them to know we very much appreciate their extra effort. Thanks also to all Wayne County Residents for your patience and understanding. A special thanks to the many volunteers who gave of their time, talents and use of their property. Without you, none of the events would be possible. Volunteer help is something we depend upon and Wayne County residents never fail to respond. Officials and participants from outside Wayne County always express the admiration and appreciation for the number of volunteers and their hospitality. Again, THANK YOU! Wayne County Commissioners

Preparedness Fair Cont'd from page 1
ber 6th at the Panguitch High School, beginning at 9 a.m. Folks from Wayne County are invited to attend as much of this information is relevant to Wayne County, as well. The keynote speaker will be Maralin Hoff, who is also known as the “Earthquake Lady”. Maralin has traveled the State of Utah for 23 years, doing presentations on how an Earthquake will affect the state of Utah. Perhaps you have seen her at the State Fair, with her “house” and simulator that will show what happens to the typical house in a 5.7 magnitude earthquake. Maralin will be bringing her "house" and all of her information that she is gearing specifically for Garfield and Piute counties—for us! Her presentation will be at 10:00 a.m. in the auditorium of the Panguitch High School. The Preparedness Fair begins with an Early Bird Class at 9:00 presented by Yardley Insurance, entitled “What your Insurance Agent wishes you knew.” This will be a great class
to explore what is and isn’t covered by your insurance in certain situations and what options are available. It will also cover what information you need and what you need to do when you need to make a claim. At 10:00 a.m. will be our keynote speaker, Maralin Hoff. Beginning at 11:00 a.m., we will have break out sessions, with three classes running each hour: 11:00, Noon and 1:00 p.m. and ending at 2:00 p.m. Some of these classes include: Garfield County School Superintendant Ben Dalton discussing each of the schools in the Garfield School district and what the policy is in an emergency. This would be not only for an earthquake, but for a lockdown, etc. For instance, do you know that when an emergency arises, the schools do not want parents there until the police and EMS have had time to access the situation and do what they need to do? Come find out how you will be notified and what will happen for each school in an emergency situation. (Note to Piute County: Superintendant Erickson could not
be here this year, but hopefully he will be able to join us and present a similar presentation next year.) We will also have Attorney Jeffery McKenna here (Yes, it’s the same Mr. McKenna who writes wonderful columns in our newspaper each week.) He will actually be doing two presentations. One will be for the general public and the ways that we need to be prepared, whether it is with a will, a trust or any other way that we might legally need to be prepared. The other class will be geared specifically to business owners. What preparations have been made legally for your business? What will happen at your retirement or when you die? What happens if you become disabled or decide to sell? What if you want to make someone (family member or other) a business partner? (Side note: Business owners, we are trying to decide if this class would be better on a Friday night or Saturday during the Fair. If you have a preference, please email smallstreamr@hotmail.com ASAP.)

PANGUITCH - Private businesses, non-profit organizations, volunteers, and various departments from Garfield County worked together to host the Utah Symphony's rare outdoor concert on the rim of Bryce Canyon National Park. Something like this has never happened before and the logistics involved were intense, said Falyn Owens, executive director of the Garfield County Tourism Office. It took everyone working together to make the concert a success. The August 15th concert took place on an exclusive canyon overlook that's part of Ruby's Inn. The hotel worked tirelessly to coordi-
nate the massive undertaking of accommodating the entire 75-piece orchestra and the more than 2,500 audience members. The goal was to provide a very unique experience and take care of the guests and that's just what we did, said Jean Seiler, director of marketing at Ruby's Inn. The concert went off without a hitch. The free performance was part of the symphony's weeklong Mighty 5 Tour of Utah's five national parks. The concert location at Bryce Canyon exceeded expectations with the setting sun lighting up the red-rock landscape and the large clearing that allowed
organizers to add hundreds of extra seats. We showed all of Utah that Bryce Canyon Country knows how to throw a worldclass event, Owens added. We thank the Utah Symphony for making the trip and thank all the organizations and volunteers for their countless hours of work. Those assisting with the venue included Garfield County's sheriff's office, EMS personnel, and volunteer-staffed search and rescue team. Employees of Bryce Canyon National Park, the U.S. Forest Service, Utah Highway Patrol and dozens of volunteers also provided help with directing

We depend on tourism here in Garfield County and it's a top priority that our visitors leave happy.

Julie Johannson will also join us. She too, will be presenting two classes. One will be geared toward first aide, but will not be your typical first aide you learned at scout or girl’s camp. This would be a great class to bring your teens with you. Julie will also be presenting another class that involves essential oils and other alternative medicines. Come and learn options for taking care of yourself and family, especially if traditional medicines are not available in a quarantine or emergency situation. These are just a few of the presentations that will be given. If you have family, friends and neighbors that would be interested, bring them along! We would love to see the whole county at our Fair because you never know when a crisis will happen. And that “Big One” we’ve been hearing about for so long—well, it might not come for a decade or more. However, it could come tomorrow. Are you prepared? —Rachelle Holbrook

By Cynthia Kimball Davis Have you ever worked somewhere and your supervisor or co-worker only found what you did wrong? After a while, many think, at least I did when that happened to me, “Why bother?” Cuz no matter what I did, he still found what I did wrong. I even knew one woman, Brooke*, who had a supervisor who looked through her trash to find what Brooke did wrong. This is hard to fathom. It is just downright mean and sick toxic behavior. And one man I know has a new younger supervisor. His supervisor doesn’t say hello to anyone when he walks into work and when he does “talk” to his people, it’s only to tell them what they’re doing wrong. Yup, just points out everyone’s mistakes and faults. Unfortunately, many no longer want to work there. And while they work to find other jobs, their productivity has suffered because they are demotivated by their new supervisor. No one cares anymore about a workplace that
Tell Them What They're Doing Right Not Wrong
was once fun and family-like. Author Leo Buscaglia said, “Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around,” (Brainy Quote, 2014). If only this new young supervisor knew to try some of Buscaglia’s caring suggestions. If you are a leader and you are finding what people are doing wrong, you need to instead lead from a framework of what people are doing right or you are going to lose employees, respect, business, productivity, and bottom line. Or, are power, ego, and pride more important to you? A church leader, Ezra Taft Benson once said, “Pride is concerned with who is right, humility is concerned with what is right,” (LDS. org, 2014). And author Jim Collins said, “The x-factor of great leadership … is humility,” (Davis, 2012, as cited on Entreprenuer.com).
Someone who “leads” by power, ego, and pride, is not a leader. They simply lead with fear and put others down because they suffer from low self-esteem. The truth is, if you are going to look for what people are doing wrong, you will find it. Conversely, if you are looking for what people are doing right, you will find that too. So make a change today. Surprise your employees, the team you coach, the children or community you lead, or your spouse, and tell them what they are doing right. After all, said author Joyce Meyer, “It’s very inexpensive to give a compliment,” (BrainyQuote.com, 2014). *Name change Cynthia Kimball Davis has a doctorate in curriculum and instruction.

Physical Attributes

Bad Coffee
A co-worker was telling us about her sister who was coming to visit her. Someone asked how old her sister was, at which she paused, thought for a bit, and then answered, "She's half as old as I am, that's how I always remember." So someone else (okay, it was me) said, "That's neat ... so every year that you age, she only ages half a year?" My co-worker thought about that, and then said, "Oh, yeah, I guess it only works on even years."
Late one night I stopped at one of those 24-hour gas station mini-marts to get myself a fresh-brewed cup of coffee. When I picked up the pot, I could not help noticing that the brew was as black as asphalt and just about as thick. "How old is this coffee?" I asked the woman who was standing behind the store counter. She shrugged. "I don't know. I've only been working here two weeks."
College Future
A mother and father were chatting with their eight-yearold son about his future. The youngster said he'd like to attend Cornell, as his parents and other members of the family had. Pleased with his response, they pressed on. "What would you like to take when you attend college?" they asked the little boy. After giving it some thought and glancing around the kitchen, he replied, "The refrigerator, if you can get along without it."

Wills, Trusts, and More How Does a Trust Work?
The use of a revocable trust (sometimes referred to as a “living trust” or “family trust”) to plan one’s estate has become very popular. Despite the popularity of the revocable trust, revocable trusts are not without their potential problems. First, it is important to understand that there is no definitive answer as to whether a trust is necessary. Another estate planner explained that asking whether a revocable trust is good or bad is like asking whether a wrench is good or bad. It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. A trust is just an estate planing tool. Whether it is good or bad depends on your needs and desires. Although there are many factors to consider in determining whether a revocable trust is right for you, here are a few of the more significant factors: 1. Avoiding Probate. It is true that a properly funded trust avoids probate. If the goal of the client is to avoid probate, it is critical that the trust be properly funded. To "properly fund" a trust, title to all assets and beneficiary designations for insurance policies and retirement accounts must be reviewed. A properly funded trust avoids probate because the owner of the assets
by Jeffery J. McKenna (generally termed the trustor, settlor, grantor or trustmaker in the trust document) conveys ownership from him or herself (in his or her individual capacity) to him or herself as trustee of his or her trust. Probate is avoided because for "probate purposes" the deceased person does not own assets but rather the trustee of the trust owns the assets. It is critical to understand that a revocable trust only avoids probate if the assets have been properly transferred to the trust. 2. Out of State Property. A revocable trust is especially useful if you own real estate in another state. Real estate in another state generally requires a probate proceeding in that state. If you live in one state but own real estate in another state, your beneficiaries may be required to commence multiple probate proceedings. This situation can be avoided through the use of a revocable trust. 3. Avoiding Court Appointed Conservatorship. A properly drafted trust should provide for the management of trust assets in the event the person contributing the property to the trust becomes incapacitated. This would avoid the need for a court appointed conservator for financial matters. In conclusion, a revoca-

ble trust is an important estate planning tool. Depending on your individual situation and desires, you may decide to use a revocable trust as your principal estate planning tool. As in all estate planning decisions, being educated about your choices is key in deciding whether a revocable trust is right for you. Jeffery J.

School Notes Attendance Awareness Month The Utah State Office of Education has declared the month of September as “Attendance Awareness Month”. I will site the following references and statistics from USOE’s awareness campaign in an attempt to stress the importance of attending school. As many as 7.5 million U.S. students are chronically absent each year, which means they miss 10% of school or approximately one month of classroom instruction. Whether the absences are school excused, parent excused, unexcused, or for discipline reasons, all absences can add up to academic trouble. One in 10 kindergarten and 1st graders are chronically absent according to national research. As early as pre-k and kindergarten, chronic absence is associated with children being un-
able to read well by the end of 3rd grade according to studies. The studies also concluded chronic absences in 1st grade is a predictor of poor academic performance and higher suspension rates in the 6th grade. Even students who miss just 10 days a year are less likely to graduate and less likely to enroll in college according to a Johns Hopkins University study. In the State of Utah, students who are chronically absent in any year between 8th and 12th grade are 7.4 times more likely to drop out of high school. Students believe they can skip school with no impact to their grades; as one study found 80% of students who skip school once a week believe it is unlikely they will fall behind in class. Many families do not realize that attendance,
starting as early as preschool, matters. Chronic absences is a solvable problem when schools and communities work together to build a habit of attendance and reduce barriers to getting to school. Positive support from parents, student academic success, and mentoring programs in schools has proved successful to help curve student absences. One study showed when students cease to be chronically absent, their grade point averages improved and were more likely to remain in school three years later. I hope we can all work together to help our students become successful by regular attendance at school. —Superintendent Ben Dalton
Hoofbeats News From Bryce Valley High by John Cloud
Well, greetings from Bryce Valley High School! The school year has begun once again, and, among all of the groans and protesting, there is also a fair bit of rejoicing. Sports are in full gear, with Volleyball beginning, and cross country soon to have their first meet, though the students of Bryce Valley are greatly looking forward to when we can actually practice (and have PE) in our own gym. The floor was redone, but with the wrong kind of paint, so it is now being redone (again), and our Volleyball girls have been practicing in the Elementary school for the past couple of weeks. (Which has made martial arts interesting, we have a net to work around. It's been
lots of fun.) Several of the clubs have started up, although not yet all of them, as the school year is still in its infancy. Many of the students are of a mixed opinion about the "Friday Morning Assemblies" which are going to be revived in this next week, in large part because our student body has a tendency not to want to participate, and still get out of class. Some students are looking forward to having something fun happen during a school day, and others want to avoid what they feel is the inevitable boredom of an Assembly. We actually have several classes that have never before been offered as well, Including Debate (taught by the well
loved and well tormented Mrs. Jensen), Commercial Arts (taught by Mrs. Thompson) Business Management / Marketing (taught by Mrs. Neilson) and a Music Class, Beginning Orchestra! This new ensemble will be directed by Mrs. Nancy Guyman, who all of her students have began to call "Ms Nancy", a carry over from her time in Tennessee. All of the old teachers and classes are still there, and, of course, we have a new batch of seventh graders, who are quickly getting the hang of High School Life. In short, the games have begun! John Cloud is a senior at Bryce Valley High School.

Garfield and Wayne County School Districts Receive $235K from State Trust Fund for the School Year SALT LAKE CITY - Elementary, middle, and high schools in the Garfield and Wayne school districts received $253,805 in School LAND Trust funds for the 2014-2015 school year, at no cost to taxpayers. The School LAND Trust Office of the Utah Board of Education distributed each district’s share of a record $39.2 million statewide distribution of annual interest and dividends from the $1.9 billion Permanent School Fund. "School community councils will be receiving about 5 percent more money this year,” said Tim Donaldson, School Children’s Trust Director for the Utah State Board of Education. “This has become a substantial funding source for our schools, and allows parents a way to get involved and have a voice in helping improve the education of our students." Each school in the Garfield and Wayne school districts will use their School

by Ellen Fagergren 6th - We are happy to have started the school year. We hope to have a fun time together in 6th grade. 5th - To start the year we are learning place value and physical change. Together as a class we are reading Bunicula. 3rd - We had an awesome first week of school. We went on a virtual field trip to an African Safari. We are wild about learning this year. 2nd - We have 31 students and I have enjoyed each and every one so far. 1st - The first week of first grade was great! We read books all the time! We remember a lot from kindergarten, we are already ahead! This will be a good year.
The Fund is expected to top $2 billion within the next few months. “SITLA is proud to support teachers, students, and taxpayers through the public school land endowment,” said SITLA Director Kevin Carter. “We’re excited to see annual contributions grow and fill the gap in education needs not met by taxpayer contributions.” SITLA is entirely self-funded with no taxpayer or general fund support. In addition to generating $125 million for public schools, SITLA earned an additional $10 million for state hospitals, universities, and teaching colleges. —Utah Trust Lands Administration
LAND Trust funds on projects determined by its School Community Council. This council, which includes parents, teachers, and the principal, identifies and discusses their school’s needs and administers the funds accordingly. Last year, School Community Councils statewide chose to augment teaching staff by allocating $20 million to hire additional teachers and aides. Councils also spent $5 million to purchase computers and other technology. Other schools supported language, tutorial, special needs, music, and other programs. Annual distributions from the Permanent School Fund have grown tremendously, from just $8.3 million in fiscal year 2004 to $39.2 million this year. This growth is largely due to revenue generated by the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA), which has deposited more than $1 billion into the Permanent School Fund since 2004, and $125 million last year alone. SITLA manages Utah’s 3.3 million acres of school trust lands for the public education system. The Administration generates revenue from a diverse portfolio of oil, gas, mining, real estate development, and other sales, leasing, and permitting activities. Revenue is deposited into the Permanent School Fund, which is now invested by a board of financial and investment professionals led by the state treasurer.
ATTENTION to parents and community members: Anyone interested in being on the Community Council for the schools please contact the school or log onto the schools web sites. This committee is responsible for helping to spend the School Trust Land Monies. Policies and parent/ teacher committees are need to help with input and to keep tract of what is happening in our schools. If you are interested in this please be willing to join the committee.

PHS Sport Sidelines by Mack Oetting
The Boys baseball team played in the tournament here over the weekend and had mixed results. On Friday they played Piute and led 8 to 1 going into the last inning, only to fall apart and lose 14 to 8. In the evening they were much better, beating Breaton (sp) and Green River on Saturday. The Cats are coming along nicely and will be starting league games shortly, check out a schedule from the high school. The Lady Cats Volleyball team played on Thursday night against North Sevier. I don’t know if the Cats are really this good or North Sevier was that bad. But the Ladies looked really good and so early in the season; it wasn’t much of a match. The Cats took out the Wolves in three sets in less than an hour; it would have been over much sooner if the Ladies
hadn’t missed so many serves. The Cats have an excellent team and I can’t believe they are going to lose any games; they look every bit as good as the undefeated last year’s volleyball team. They have two really strong hitters in Chesney Campbell and Dari Frandsen and the rest of the team is outstanding. The Ladies had a game against Kanab last night and this should be a better test for the Cats. The volleyball game drew a very large crowd and a full student body section and they all were treated to the arena's new make-over. New bleachers (the chair back seats will be in place in early September) and a giant Bob Cat painted on the floor. Riggs from Hatch said that he was a Junior at PHS when the gym was built and it never looked better. With all of the State Championship flags hanging from the ceiling it is truly a place in Panguitch to be
proud of. The Chair back seats are all sold out this year, but season tickets are available for the other seats. The Cross Country team ran in a meet over at SUU and had some great results. They ran against 3 A teams. In the girls' race Whittni Orton led the race most of the way only to come in third, in her fastest time of 19:12 and she was followed closely by Catannia Holman in her fastest time of 19:13. Both girls are way ahead of last season in their training. Bremly Veater the only other girl runner placed 24th. There were a lot of boys that ran in the race, Connor Anderson finished in 12th place for the Cats' best finish. Coach Danny Yardley said he has never had a team do so well in this meet. The Cats first meet will be at Bryce Valley today; these races are against all of the teams in region 20.

obituaries Frederick Randolph Anderson
TEASDALE - Frederick Randolph Anderson of Chevy Chase, Maryland, and Teasdale, Utah, died peacefully with his family at his side July 14, 2014, from amiodarone pulmonary toxicity. He was 73. Fred was an attorney, law school dean, founder of one of the first national environmental nonprofits, novelist, and loving husband and father. Fred was an environmental law pioneer, whose ideas and efforts helped define the field of environmental law. He was the founding president of the Environmental Law Institute (ELI), one of the earliest national environmental think tanks, dean of American University’s Washington College of Law (WCL), and professor of law at WCL and the University of Utah. While at ELI and beyond he recruited and mentored many young lawyers and economists who carry on in his spirit a creative and multidisciplinary approach to environmental law. While teaching law at the University of Utah in the 1980s Fred discovered the red rock country of southern Utah. He was drawn to the area’s spectacular landscape, wildlife and history. He purchased historic Fish Creek Ranch near Teasdale, UT, in the late 1980s and spent as much time as possible there. He was an avid birder and hiker and was always discovering new areas to explore. He learned all he could about the region and its people, including the Fremont culture, the American explorers who first mapped it and the pioneer settlers. He eagerly shared his knowledge with visitors and newcomers. Fred authored the first book on the National Environmental Policy Act of 1970 and numerous books, chapters and articles on environmental law, policy, economics and science. He continued to define environmental and energy law as a law partner at both McKenna Long & Aldridge and Cadwalader, Wickersham and Taft. He was a board member of a number of National Academy of Science committees and panels, including on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate and Science, Technology and Law. Fred also wrote fiction. His first novel, Falling Together, was published in 2011. He had recently completed a satirical novel, Washington: A Fantasy. Fred received his J.D. from Harvard Law School, a B.A. in Jurisprudence from Oxford University as a Marshall Scholar and a B.A. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as a Morehead Scholar. Fred graduated from Central High School, Rutherfordton, NC. During his senior year he attended the Lycée Joffre in Montpelier, France, as an AFS exchange student, where he met life-long friends and initiated his love of French culture and language. Fred was born June 28, 1941, in Rutherfordton, NC, the first son of Eugenia (Meeler) and Frederick R. Anderson, Sr. He is survived by Barbara Alison Rose, his wife of 23 years, his daughter Molly Elizabeth Rose Anderson, his brother Richard M. Anderson, and seven nieces and nephews. Fred lived a full and good life, defined by achievement, love of family, and dedication to friends. We will miss his razor-sharp intellect, good judgment, sense of humor and the twinkle in his eye.

FYI Panguitch
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com We made the news last week, we received over 2” inches of rain and as far as I know, there wasn’t any flooding. However Jimmy and Kathleen Cooper came home to catch up on some fishing and when they entered their home, they smelled something funny. Going down in their basement they found that there was an electrical fire in the water heater that melted the solder on their water lines and the basement was flooded. It was domestic water, so there wasn’t the damage that took place at the Barney’s home. Speaking of the Barneys, Vermon and Catherine are back in their home. Many thanks to Maloy Dodds for letting them stay in his place, till their home could be made livable. Speaking of Maloy Dodds, he was married last week to a long time friend, congratulations Maloy! The ATV Rally was another great success; with a number of late entries brought that count up to 235 happy campers. This event is really well run with a ton of guides that led a large number of rides, some as long as 100 miles. One even went up to Yankee Meadows and the Poker run was up at Panguitch Lake. Jerry gave away belt buckles to those who brought in the most trash, it is unbelievable the trash that people throw out on these pristine trails. Joe Orman on his rides in from Hatch will pick up as much as two full bags of trash.
The American Legion and the Lions Club provided the 3 early morning breakfasts this year and there were a lot of different items on the menu. There was a Brats evening, with music, and it was attended by 120 hearty souls that weren’t wore out with their travels during the day. A closing night Dutch oven dinner, provided by Wally Dodds, finished off an exciting three day rally. Many of the riders will be back on their own during the year providing more revenue for the Town. Last week Lewis and Pat Leach celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Pat is Betty Frandsen’s daughter and Betty is my Aunt, I wonder if she would have though she would live long enough to have a nephew as old as me. Congratulations Lewis and Pat and I hope you will have many more years. It breaks my heart to report that the Gem Theater is closed for movies. They still have great ice cream and food. The theater owner John was not able to get a grant to fund the change to convert his projectors to the modern technology. The movie industry has been operating with 35 mm film forever, even back to the silent films. The new technology cost over $50,000 to convert over to digital. It is too bad that he couldn’t get even a small grant to make this necessary change, one to the biggest complaints the tourists have that there isn’t anything to do in the evening or even a swim-
ming pool to exercise in. Now if you want to see a movie, you have to go Cedar, pay a higher price for tickets and twice as much for popcorn and a drink, so sad. Oil prices have dropped 14 dollars a barrel, this last month, but don’t expect the price of gas to go down in our area for at least another two months. However gas in the SLC area is down in the $3.40 range, but with the tourist business you won’t see that in Garfield Co. Five and a half years ago we were in a real bad recession, with over 10% unemployment and the Stock Market at 5600. The Market topped 17,000 this week and unemployment is down to 6.1 %. The sad news is that there is over 41/2 million great paying jobs out there that can’t be filled because they can’t find people that qualify for these
positions. Very little talk about the affordable health insurance, mainly because of its success and you can’t sign up for it till Dec. This weekend is Labor Day, which honors all that labored for a living, which takes in most everyone, so enjoy. It is the last 3 day holiday of the summer, so get out with the family and enjoy your precious time together; kids grow up way too fast. The Iron Co. Fair is also this weekend and that will give you someplace to go to when all else fails. I understand in the near future that the bike trail that starts in Red Canyon will now end at the road into Bryce Canyon. It will pick up again at Ruby’s Campground and into the Park. Life’s a Trip, don’t hold back. Mack O.

Bryce Valley Area News by Vicki D. Syrett 679-8687 or vickidiane36@hotmail.com
I want to congratulate Ellen Fagergren and John Cloud on being so on the ball and getting their news in so quickly. It was a wonderful surprise and one that is very much appreciated. We want to send condolences out to the family of Doyle Neilson who passed away last week. He was a very special man and will be missed very much. His funeral will be held on Friday, August 29th. The viewing will be held 6 - 8 pm Thursday, and 10 - 11:30 am. Friday, with the services at 12:00 noon. All in Henrieville. We would like Doyle's wife, Katherine, children Jim Neilson, Steven Neilson, Kathryn Neilson, Kathy Murphy and, Scott Neilson to know you are in our thoughts and prayers. Today the sky opened up with rain to let a great man in. Heaven is getting a great man he might want to build something as soon as he gets there. RIP Doyle you will be missed by so many. . .A quote by a friend of the family...Eloy Guiterrez. There's a saying.. "everything happens for a reason." I'm not a spiritual person by any means, but it makes me wonder. Almost a month ago, I lost all the reasons to continue staying where I've been. I decided to move to my parents' in Southern Utah. About 2 weeks ago, my Dad got sick. He was put in the hospital in Panguitch, a week later, life flighted to St. George. Since then, he has been on life support for a lung disease that has no cure. I believe that saying is very true. God knew this was going to happen, so he gave me reason to see that Mom will be ok. So, tonight, with his wish to say good bye to his family, I say good bye to the man who made me who I am today. Good byes aren't forever. I love you, Dad. from Scott Neilson. Hey everyone, it's time again to revisit getting back into the gym at the High School with proper insurance and sponsorship. I have had some interest when I first started to put the paperwork together, but then it kind of fell apart due to the Tourism season. That season is coming to a close soon and I wanted to see who was still interested in signing up for insurance for being able to play basketball and volleyball at the gym.
The pricing is going to be $35 per year. That is correct PER YEAR. That includes, hopefully, the deposit fee we have to put in to the school to get the ability to get into the gym. I think it will be a great experience, but we need at least 13+ adults to sign up. That isn't very many. If you want to know more and signup message me or even call me, Kevin Clark. My number is 801-831-4455! Thanks go out to the Boy Scouts who gathered at Ruby's Inn to help with the Rim Run. Around 105 runners participated in this event and it was very successful. Okay Ryan and Tara Feltner Cottam, here is a correction to the name of that darling little boy of yours. His name is offically Declan V. Cottam and is very loved by his siblings. He is so cute and even though the name on facebook was a kind of joke we printed it. Sorry about that but I took your words to heart even though we really wondered about the name. Love you guys and know this will bring some laughs for a while. Grandma Cheri Feltner was just laughing over the comments that she received from people about the name. A reminder to those who are interested. . .Every Thursday at 7:00 P.M. the Addiction Recovery Program (ARP) is still going strong. It is held in the Tropic Church in the Relief Society room and is open to all interested people. It is a 12 step program to help those with addictions of their own or who have someone in their lives with an addiction that is affecting them, to find a recovery. It is not uncommon to suffer from addictions and many find that their addiction is not unique and they gain strength from others who are struggling with similar problems. ARP is an anonymous program and attendance and discussions are strictly confidential. Speakers in Tropic today were Nephi Noyes of Escalante and his daughter, KysTelle Noyes. Luciene Syrett sang a beautiful rendition of a song from Janis Kapp Perry. She has a lovely voice and it was enjoyable. In Cannonville the Elder's Quorum Presidency were the speakers, Pres. Brandon Baugh, Allen Larson, and Klancey Ott. Bailee Baugh
played a violin solo with her grandma, Ethel Rich accompanying her on the piano. In Henrieville the speakers were Elders Ludwig and Boox. Henrieville had a big change in their Primary Organization. Released were Pres. Heather T. Johnson, 1st Counselor Brenda Rose, 2nd Counselor Sarah Rose, and Secretary, Jessyca Jones. Also released were Shauna Mortensen as Primary Pianist, and teachers Lesa Chynoweth and Marie Jaggar. Called to fill these positions were Pres. Shauna Mortensen, 1st Counselor Sandy Johnson, 2nd Counselor Cassie Chynoweth, and Secretary Shirley Barker. Colette Mathews was called at the Primary Pianist. On Wednesday afternoon a few of us gathered to help Catherine Littlefield finish up a quilt for Steven Littlefield, her grandson, who is getting married on September 6th. Helping to make the star quilt was Jacque Slack, Carol Pollock, Sharee Walstad, Vicki Syrett, Mira Loy Ott, Violet Rae Hughes and Catherine Littlefield. It was a beautiful quilt and we are sure Steven and his new bride will love it. One thing about living in a small community you can always count on folks to step up to the plate to help you with things like this. We send out wishes to Leo Chynoweth for a quick recovery after a scare. He is in the Dixie Regional Hospital recovering after some surgery. Hope to see him home soon. The "Friends of Scouting" drive is going on and the Scouts appreciate your support. It cost about $100 a scout for the program each year so this is a worthy project to train these young men to grow into accomplished adults. Just a note to the Tropic Town Council. It is neat to see the beautiful town sign going up outside town but we make
a plea to you to not take down the wonderful sign made by Lenny Pollock a few years ago. It adds a touch of love to the town of Tropic and we would like to see it stay standing. He put a lot of work into erecting and painting this sign. Thanks. P.S. if I got the wrong boy and it was really Lance I apologize. Getting older doesn't always bring clear memories. Ernie and Wynona Henderson just keep that road between Henrieville and Salt Lake well traveled. They were up there again for Ernie's appointments at the VA Hospital. We wish Ernie a quick recovery and hope he is soon feeling well. While up north Wynona went with daughter, Dorsie Denny to the funeral for Ann Tetley Goulding. Ann worked at Bryce for many years as a Dorm Mother. She was married to Calvin Goulding. Wynona said she had a good visit with lots of family. On August 20th they attended the funeral for Zola Clark Lee. Zola is a sister to Steve Clark of Cannonville. The funeral was held at the McDougal Mortuary in Salt Lake. Condolences to Steve and other family members on their loss of Zola. Wynona visited with Mary Carol in an Assisted Living Center. She is Lakay Quilter's sister. She also went to visit with Kevin and Dorsie Denny's son Mike and his wife Holland and baby Michael. They were here visiting from California and it was the first time Wynona got to see the 9 month old adorable little boy. She also got together with Trish Dixon and her daughter, Niki and Lynne Granger all prior to Niki returning to Odessa Texas for college. Please call or email your news to me. I appreciate those who take the time to do just that. Have a safe week and enjoy your Labor Day weekend. VS

Rabbit Valley Report
Over 25 years of professional real estate service to Wayne County.
by Adus F. Dorsey II
Dr. Jon Paul Yerby positive reception to the August concert in Torrey, we will be able to extend artists visits next season for performances in Wayne County.” If last night's concert is any indication of what we might come to expect Wayne County is in for a real musical treat come next summer. Dr. Jon Paul Yerby’s Friday night program included Agustin Barrios (1885-1944) La Catedral / preludio / andante religioso / and allegro solemne. Luigi Legnami (1790 – 1877) Fantasia Op. 19. Issac Albebeniz (1860 – 1909) Granada / Torre Bermeja / Sevilla. And Carlo Domeniconi (b. 1947) Koyunbata. Names and tunes that I find hard enough to pronounce much less ever try and attempt to play during a jam session at the Patio. I can honestly say that what I know about the classical guitar would fit nicely into one of Grand Ma Barbra Pace's sewing thimbles. Yet after what my eyes, ears and total being experienced watching Dr. Jon Paul Yerby perform on his classical guitar last evening at the Torrey DUP was as close to a transcendental and out of body experience
Adus Dorsey
as I have ever had, and being a child of the fifties and sixties that says a lot. What l have learned from Dr. Jon Paul Yerby is that his guitar is a 2006 Stephen Connor Concert guitar with a Spanish Cedar top and Madagascar Rosewood sides and back. “It is by far the best guitar I have ever owned” says Dr. Jon Paul Yerby. Connor guitars are known for their clarity of sound and magnificent projection. “Connor names each of his guitars, of which he builds about 24 per year. My guitar is named “Tequila. She is a wild one!” The history of Bluegrass music and the mandolin I know but you will have to please excuse my limited knowledge of Classical Guitar while I refer to other sources to define Classical Music. Given the extremely broad variety of forms, styles, genres, and historical periods generally perceived as being described by the term "classical music," it is difficult to list characteristics that can be attributed to all works of that type. Vague descriptions are plentiful, such as describing classical music as anything that "lasts a long time," a statement made rather
moot when one considers contemporary composers who are described as classical; or music that has certain instruments like violins, which are also found in other genres. However, there are characteristics that classical music contains that few or no other genres of music contain. On the other hand, instruments such as the classical guitar, gained increasing prominence in classical music in the 19th and 20th centuries. When considering the guitar from a historical perspective, the musical instrument used is just as important as the musical language and style of the particular period. As an example: It is impossible to play a historically informed de Visee or Corbetta (baroque guitarist-composers) on a modern classical guitar. The reason is that the baroque guitar used courses, which are two strings close together (in unison) that are plucked together. This gives baroque guitars an unmistakable sound characteristic and tonal texture that is an integral part of an interpretation. (I realize I probably will be chastised to the point of embarrassment by my use of this description of Classical Music yet I did find the information very interesting, and after Dr. Jon Paul Yerby’s performance last night I found myself yearning to learn more about classical guitar which as he expressed is part of his mission to share the beauty and culture of the classical guitar with a broad Utah audience.) In summation, there was standing room only at Dr. Jon Paul Yerby’s Friday night program at the Torrey DUP, and the concert was absolutely fabulouso. Dr. Jon Paul Yerby squeezed and plucked out more exquisitely played notes on his Steve Connor classical guitar in one song than Jimi Hendrix ever could have in ten of his. To Dr. Jon Paul Yerby’s credit I would have to say that he personally raised the culture bar in and around Torrey by ten fold and in the process exceeded the goal and mission of the Utah Classical Guitar Society to educate the public in the beauty that Classical Guitar performers and their music can provide in our lives.

SATURDAY SUNSET SERIES
With all the culture we have had the opportunity to experience lately in Wayne County, like having the Utah Symphony perform in the Teasdale Park for the Mighty 5 campaign and most recently Dr. Jon Paul Yerby of the Utah Classical Guitar Society at the Torrey Daughters of the Utah Pioneers building (DUP) I almost feel at a loss for words. And after these two back to back performances at the level that I have just seen I think I just might have Joe at Royals Foodtown order me in a case of Greek yogurt and a small can of Western Family caviar with some saltine crackers so I can properly celebrate? That is not to say that I feel that culture in Wayne County only comes from sources like Hee-Haw as I know better, and LaRue Peterson and Jennie Curtis would have my hide if I ever publicly claimed so. Wayne County has long enjoyed a homegrown source of culture and bred some of the finest musicians this side of the Mississippi like members of the Peterson Orchestra of Loa, Buddy Merrel (born as Leslie Merrill Behunin, Jr.) and the “Poverty Bench Boys”. And to date musicians like Will Barclay, Dee Hatch and a hundred or so more that entertain us on a regular basis, but at this point I must digress. According to Dr. Jon Paul Yerby’s extensive Bio he is the president of the Utah Classical Guitar Society located in Salt Lake City where he serves as professor of guitar at Utah Valley University and heads the guitar department at the Gifted Music School. “Part of our mission is to share the beauty and culture of the classical guitar with a broad Utah audience.

Practical Money Matters
Will Your Kids Inherit Your Debt? Many people finally get around to writing a will in order to safeguard their assets for their heirs. But what if you've got the opposite problem: Your nest egg was decimated by the recession, bad investments or simply living longer than expected and now you've got a mountain of bills you can't pay off. Will your kids inherit your debts after you die? The short answer is, not in most cases. But there are situations where someone could be legally responsible for paying off your bills after death. Plus, aggressive creditors have been known to coerce heirs into paying off debts for which they're not responsible, just to be left alone. If you're afraid that your financial legacy will be a heap of unpaid bills, here's what you need to know and prepare for: In general, children aren't responsible for paying off their parents' unsecured debts – things like credit cards, personal loans and medical bills, which aren't collateralized by physical property. If there's not enough money in the estate to pay off those bills, creditors will have to write them off. There are several exceptions, however: • If your child, spouse or other acquaintance is a cosigner on a credit card or loan (e.g., mortgage, car, personal
by Jason Alderman loan), they share equal responsibility for paying it off. This is why you should always think twice before cosigning anyone's loan. • If someone is a joint account holder – that is, their income and credit history were used to help obtain the loan or credit card – they're generally responsible to pay off the balance. • Widows and widowers are responsible for their deceased spouse's debts if they live in a community property state. Note that authorized users on your credit cards aren't liable for repayment since they didn't originally apply for the credit. Chances are they were simply "piggybacking" on your credit record to help build their own. However, to protect authorized users from being bothered by creditors after your death, you may want to remove them from your accounts. If you have outstanding secured debts upon death, such as a mortgage or car loan, your estate must pay them off or the creditor can seize the underlying asset. For example, if you were planning to leave your house to your kids, they'll need to either pay off or continue making payments on any outstanding mortgage, property taxes and insurance, or risk
foreclosure. Depending on your state's laws, there are a few types of assets, like life insurance proceeds and retirement benefits, which you can pass along to beneficiaries that generally won't be subject to probate or taxation and thus may be safe from creditors. Just be aware that if you name your estate as beneficiary for an insurance policy or retirement account, creditors can come after the money to pay off your debts. Thus, it's usually wise to name specific individuals as beneficiaries – and backup beneficiaries, in case they die first. Also, if your beneficiary is a cosigner on any of your debts, creditors can pursue him or her for any balances owed. Check with a probate attorney or legal clinic familiar with your state's inheritance and tax laws. Free or low-cost legal assistance is often available for lower-income people. Bottom line: If you expect to leave unpaid debts after you die, alert your family now, so that together you can plan a course of action. You don't want to blindside your loved ones in the midst of their grief. Jason Alderman directs Visa's financial education programs.
