Panguitch Lake Fall Festival Provides Weekend of Live Music, Dancing, Food and Folklore

PANGUITCH LAKE After a hiatus of more than 100 years, the Panguitch Lake Fall Festival returns to Garfield County this weekend and promises two days of pioneer music, storytelling and family friendly activities.

“We’ve waited a long time to see this festival return,” said Clive Romney, executive director of Utah Pioneer Heritage Arts. “It’s exciting to be able to revive this tradition and help residents of Garfield County preserve and celebrate the area’s rich history.”

The festival’s inaugural event can be traced back to 1892 when crowds gathered for horse racing and a nightly fish fry, Romney explained.

The event flourished for a brief period—occurring only four times before it was discontinued due to horse racing being banned when Utah was granted statehood in 1896.

“During that time, Panguitch Lake was the most happening place between Salt Lake City and Los Angeles,” Romney said. “Native Americans were heavily involved in the festivities, and traveling

a huge success, said to have legitimate potential of evolving into the premier annual race in Utah. Beginning as an idea of Race Director Lisa Crane in early 2014, and having no event previously in Wayne

County, Lisa began researching while applying her perseverance and passion for running to see this idea become reality.

With over 100 registrations for the Half Marathon, a gathering of athletes began in

their Saturday morning early, wrapped in the crisp fall air, at Robbers Roost in Torrey while waiting to catch a shuttle to the start line. Campfires and hot beverages welcomed them as they found their start at the entry to Single Tree Campground on the Dixie National Forest. The gun sounded at 7:10am and they were off, on a charted course ahead unmatched in beauty. Traveling along the northeast section of the internationally acclaimed Scenic Highway 12 of Utah, this magnificent stage of offered varied landscapes unique to any other in the world, as the runners passed through stunning backdrops, such as: the white slides of Lion Mountain; the inviting pastures and greeters of Grover; the captivating formation of the Cockscomb; the towering red rock ledges; and the Fremont River valley.

streams. If you travel, you need water, and it wasn’t easy back then to strap a ceramic canteen on and carry it with you. So you would follow the water. That is why there is rock art in the Escalante area.

Natives would stop along the way, and sometimes there was a need to leave a message behind for those who would follow, or a warning to those who might want to harm them, or maybe at night there was time for a story or lesson for the younger travelers that would be made more interesting by images on the canyon walls.

We don’t know exactly why the Old Ones left rock art here, but we can imagine

a good story about what we think might have been a reason. We know that there are few places in the area that could support continuous occupation, and as the game was all hunted or the crops didn’t grow well because of drought or nutrients in the soil being used up, they would have to leave for a while. Maybe the glyphs were messages about why they left or where they went.

Maybe they tried to get along with their neighbors but couldn’t, and had to leave. Just in case some of their friends Rock Art

Ranchers Should be Concerned

by Norman McKee

Norman McKee

Cattle grazing on the Paunsaugunt Plateau of the Dixie National Forest.

The federal public lands in Utah are a blessing in several ways to nearly everyone.

They are not the curse that some state and local politicians would have us believe.

Let’s look at just one item in the big picture.

Ranchers need to pay attention and think about it!

The current cost for grazing an animal unit each month on federal lands is $1.69. Grazing costs on Utah State lands varies, depending on what can be charged. In many areas, it is in the five dollar per month range. Grazing on most US Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management lands is usually within a multiple-use area where grazing is generally guaranteed on a longterm basis. State lands are often used in various ways, such as being sold and privatized, leased or developed for other purposes.

Several months ago, state legislator Ken Ivory (R.

West Jordan), author of the bill to transfer federal lands in Utah to state ownership, was on a Cedar City radio station speaking of his efforts. Listeners were invited to call in questions. I had two questions for him. “Mr. Ivory, I grew up on a farm-ranch operation and worked with ranchers my whole career. How would family ranches stay in business if grazing fees increased 3 to 4 times? Also, it seems that if some land were to be privatized, it would probably be the most productive grazing lands along mountain valleys, streams and lakes. Would you please comment?” He answered. “Yes, grazing fees would increase, but ranchers would be better off in state control. With regards to sales, no lands would be sold, not one acre. You can quote me on that!” OK, I did!

An interpretive sign at the Hole-in-the-Rock wayside has recently been shot through with several large caliber bullets.

SCENIC BYWAY 12 - In a case of blatant vandalism, a byway interpretive sign located in the Scenic Byway 12 wayside just west of the Hole-in-the-Rock Road turnoff (near SR12 milepost 64) was recently destroyed by vandals who fired several large caliber rounds at close range. This is a destructive and unfortunate crime taking place during the busy tourist season when so many visitors on the road find it enjoyable to stop and read the sign to learn about the historic Hole-inthe-Rock expedition. According to Scenic Byway 12 Coordinator, John Holland, replacing the sign and the structure it is mounted on will cost the non-profit Scenic Byway 12 Committee at least $500.

A reward of $500 has been offered to any person who will share information leading to the person or persons responsible for the vandalism. Anyone with information to share regarding the destruction of the sign should contact the Garfield County Sherriff’s Office at 435-676-2678 or send a text message to 274637. (Start your text message with, “TIPUS” followed by your anonymous message.) You can also submit information online at www.gcutsheriff.com/submit-a-tip.

Submitting specific information leading to an arrest and conviction of the guilty party qualifies one individual to receive a $500 reward from the Scenic Byway 12 Committee. For information about the award please contact John Holland at 435-679-8987.

His comments seemed very strange, considering that on several occasions he has said that Utah has way too much public lands. He has said that we should be more like Eastern states, where the land is nearly all privately owned. He used the states of Texas, Kansas, and Indiana as examples of places we should be more like. My thought is, why would Mr. Ivory want to live in Utah if other states are so much more attractive?

Several times this summer I have observed the cattle of local ranching families grazing on the meadows of the Paunsaugunt Plateau, along the East Fork of the Sevier River, south of Tropic Reservoir in Kane and Garfield Counties. What a beautiful and perfect area for development and building of summer cabins and homes! There are lush meadows along a scenic stream, with gently sloping hillsides, and a nice graveled road the entire length of the plateau that could easily be paved if necessary. Nearby is a year-around airport. And of course, Bryce Canyon National Park is adjacent to the area, one of America’s most popular national parks. Not far away are Zion and other

September 17, 2015 national and state parks and monuments. Wow! The Southwestern US is growing in population and people want a place out of the cities to relax and recreate. Southern Utah is getting a lot of attention by city folks from all over the Southwest.

Not if but when, we are confronted by large wildfires, a catastrophic earthquake, or much needed funds for schools or highways, etc., additional taxes will be needed. Utah has over 60% of its land in federal ownership. Surely, selling 5 or 10% of it is not unreasonable.

So let’s sell the Paunsaugunt!

Yes, most monies of an initial sale returns back to the feds. However, the state would need good tax revenue on the new private lands. Wait a minute! Local ranchers currently graze cattle on the area.

Sorry, the state needs taxes.

Even if the sale were to be to the rancher, it would not suffice. The state taxes on agriculture land are fairly low. We want much more annual tax revenue! Sorry Mr. Rancher, it has to be developed in order to raise the tax revenue needed by the state and counties.

Develop it! Oh yes, and who would most likely purchase the lands? Could local family ranchers even compete with developers, land speculators,

or wealthy land barons? Even today, most land sales in our rural counties are currently being purchased by non-resident people or out of state corporations.

In reality, family ranching as we have always known it is in big trouble. It would definitely be largely gone in many of the most productive areas if these multiple-use federal lands were to become under state ownership and management. The transfer of these lands may, at first, sound intriguing, but look at the big picture, then think about it!

If we are to keep some semblance of our pioneer heritage, the transfer of these lands could seriously jeopardize the most accessible and productive of these public lands.

Hopefully, our elected officials will spend more of their time and energy in working out sensible management solutions to these lands which we ALL own and have a vested interest in. Most of us were not fortunate enough to inherit lands or can afford our own acreages.

The freedom to access, use, and enjoy our public lands is a right we don’t want to lose.

came looking for them, they left a message saying what happened.

The teaching idea seems to be the most interesting.

Since they didn’t have pencil and paper to write with, they used the canyon walls to tell stories that would last for generations. Their religion was probably very important to

them, and they would have wanted the stories to be remembered.

The groups of people living back in 1200 probably had what we now call clans.

A clan nowadays is a group of people who share special ceremonies and knowledge. One way of claiming that they had used the area or been there was to leave their clan symbol on the rock walls.

These are some of the reasons there is rock art in the

Escalante area. There are probably many more.

The Utah Rock Art Research Association will be discussing the "whys" of rock art and related subjects during its 35th annual Symposium in Escalante on October 2-5. The public is invited to attend our symposium on Saturday the 3rd (8m-5pm) or Sunday the 4th (8am-noon) of October, at Escalante High School.

crossed the finish line in Torrey, crowds cheered for each runner. Participants, from beginner to advanced athletes, raved about the diversity of the course and the physical, mental and emotional test that this race route had presented them.

The 5K event began just after 7:40am, as an out and back race up Sand Creek road, set under the splendor of the red rock backdrop. Complete with 64 registered contestants, varying in age from 10 – 79, this race was challenging and rewarding for every participant and an overall huge hit.

Runners were met at the finish line with the crowd of family, friends and strangers, cheering them on for their great accomplishment.

Contestants came from as far away as the UK, a strong showing throughout the United States, and was well supported by individuals throughout the state of Utah. Even more exciting was to see so many participants from Wayne County showing up with their passion to run.

As the Race Director, Lisa would like to extend her gratitude for support of the Wayne County Commissioners and financial support of Wayne County Travel Council and several local businesses. Also a sincere ‘Thank You’ to the many volunteers, both individuals and local high school clubs and teams, for their time and service on the day of the event including; shuttle drivers, helpers at aid stations throughout both events, those at the finish line helping out with logistics and awards presentation.

by Kevin Heaton Utah State University Extension, Garfield County Grazing on public lands is very common in Utah. In Garfield County, we have more cows than people and see them routinely grazing on public and private lands throughout the county. Many “environmental” groups have agendas to remove cattle entirely from public lands or the restrict management of livestock grazing such that the ranchers would simply be out of business. What effect would reduced livestock grazing or elimination of all livestock grazing have on Garfield County?

In an attempt to understand the answer to the “no grazing question”, USU Extension in cooperation with Kane and Garfield counties surveyed livestock grazing permit holders on the Grand Staircase National Monument to document the effects of livestock grazing to our area. Approximately 40% of the permit holders returned their surveys and just recently the results were published on the USU Extension website. The tittles of the fact sheets are: Livestock Grazing on the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument: the historical and cultural importance to the region and Livestock Grazing on the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument: its importance to the local economy.

Livestock grazing is important to the local economy.

Livestock grazing on the GSENM would generate directly approximately $12 million dollars to the local economy and provide jobs to 111 people. The total effect of grazing on the GSENM is over $23 million dollars and 208 jobs assuming all the active animal unit months (AUMs) were being utilized.

If the suspended AUMs were made available the direct economic benefit would be $16.5 million and 154 jobs and the total economic benefit would be $32 million with 288 jobs.

Some people may argue that these numbers are insignificant or not important compared to the tourism industry.

One thing for certain is that for rural Utah is that a strong rural economy is a diverse one. Just as putting all your eggs in one basket is not a good idea, neither is building an economy on one industry.

Another reason graz-

ing is important to our area is because of its impact on our history and culture. History and culture are hard to describe economically, but we can describe them in terms of people and families. Ranchers who graze livestock on the GSENM depend upon this renewable resource. The monument provides approximately 36% of the forage needed for surveyed ranching operations.

One hundred percent of permit holders said there is no cost effective way to replace their GSENM AUMs or forage. If GSENM grazing was eliminated almost 80% said they could not reduce their ranching operation to their private property and survive. In fact, 72% stated that they would be out of the ranching business.

Local ranches and ranchers affect the local culture. If grazing is eliminated so will our culture be reduced or eliminated. One interesting point learned from the survey is that almost 45% of the ranching operations have been ranching on the GSENM for 100 years or more. Fifth and sixth generation families have had ranching operations long before there was a BLM, Forest Service or monument. Nineteen percent of ranches have been grazing the monument over 50 years. Approximately 1/3 have ranched on the monument less than 50 years.

The above data makes a fairly good case that any negative changes in the levels of livestock grazing on the monument would adversely affect the economy, the history and the culture of the region. However, I have a few reasons that I would like to see livestock grazing continue be it on the monument, BLM, Forest Service or private lands. My reasons include: I like ranchers. They are real people. I appreciate the fact that they earn their livings the hard way. They work with Mother Nature and depend upon moisture, grass growth, wells and stock ponds and hundreds of other things beyond their control and yet somehow they muster enough resiliency to do it every year.

I like beef. It tastes good and knowing that it was produced from a sustainable resource in my area makes it even better.

Petition on the "State of Emergency"

I am distributing the following letter throughout Garfield County as a petition for all residents who agree that declaring a “state of emergency” for the County is not a good idea. It reads: “We, as residents of Garfield County, Utah, request the Garfield County Commissioners rescind Resolution 2015-3, State of Emergency for Garfield County.

A state of emergency is defined as "a situation of national danger or disaster in which a government suspends normal constitutional procedures in order to regain control". A government can declare a state of emergency during a time of natural or human-made disaster, during a period of civil unrest, or following a declaration of war or situation of international/internal armed conflict. It can also be used as a rationale (or pretext) for suspending rights and freedoms guaranteed under by constitution or basic law.

Although we appreciate the Commissioners attention to declining school enrollments and the need for economic development in our county, we don't feel this constitutes a "State of Emergency." Further, we question the Commissioners’ sole conclusion as to the cause of the current “problem” as well as their proposed solution.

If this situation is as dire as the Commission sets forth, it clearly needs more time and attention by a variety of interests within the County. The resolution as worded is likely to create---or already has created-- unintended consequences including, but not limited to: 1. Creating a negative impression of Garfield County.

2. Undermining the willingness of lenders and granting agencies to invest in existing or new businesses or mortgages in Garfield County.

3. Damaging our burgeoning tourist economy.

4. Decreasing our property values.

5. Encouraging a Boom and Bust economy.

6. Confusing the residents of Garfield County as to the intentions of their leaders.

7. Ignoring the creative, solution-oriented, collaborative community spirit of the residents of Garfield County in solving our own problems.

We stand available to assist the Commission in identifying all possible causes and potential solutions to problems of job growth and school enrollment without the uncertainties created by a declared ‘State of Emergency’."

The petition is available online at http://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/rescind-state-of-emergency and at various physical locations throughout the County, including Escalante Outfitters, Boulder Exchange, Hills and Hollows, and others to come.

The intent is to produce a “show of hands” to the County Commission, Governor Herbert, and various media outlets that as residents of Garfield County we believe we can creatively and collaboratively address our own challenges without resorting to a state of emergency declaration. Please sign this petition if you agree.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of concerned residents who helped draft this letter, Margaret (Peg) Smith, Boulder, UT

Lunar Eclipse – Correction

In my Stargazing column last week, I made a careless error in my brief mention of the upcoming lunar eclipse. It will only be on the 28th if you’re in England or points east. For those of us in the U.S., it will be the 27th. My apologies. I’ll feel terrible if anyone misses it because of that. My hope is that everyone within reach of The Insider is able to see it!

Appropriate Behavior?

Dear Editor, I'm SO happy that the Garfield County Commissioners have let us know what is appropriate to post on social media.How would we ever know how to act without their regal edicts? I believe these are elected public servants (except when they sneak a new one in the back door) and NOT our Daddies! Perhaps they could do something useful for us in Escalante instead of putting all their efforts into the "Great Utah Land Grab"and issuing empty statements of support for the senior center.

Recent changes in recommendations for pneumonia vaccine has created a great deal of confusion. I’ll try to make this a bit clearer.

The name “pneumonia shot” is really a misnomer.

It’s actually a vaccine against a specific strain of bacteria, Streptococcus pneumoniae, that is a common cause of pneumonia. Other bacteria and viruses can cause pneumonia so the shot is no guarantee you won’t get pneumonia, but it will protect you against this more serious type. Unfortunately, there are many strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae and while we’ve had a vaccine against this bacteria for years (Pneumovax) , it did not cover all the possible strains that could make us sick. In recent years, another pneumonia vaccine (Prevnar) came out that covered other strains not covered by Pneumovax. We now want everyone for whom the vaccine is indicated (except for the children under age 6 who get the pneumonia shot as part of their routine childhood vaccines) to have both shots.

The vaccine is indicated for the following groups: 1. All healthy children under age 6. They receive the vaccine as part of their routine childhood immunizations and only need the newer vaccine, Prevar.

2. Everyone, regardless of health, over age 65. They should receive both shots given one year apart. If you’re over age 65 and have only had one pneumonia shot, a second shot is now indicated.

3. Everyone ages 6 to 65 who have any of the following conditions: diabetes, chronic kidney disease, congestive heart failure or other chronic heart conditions, chronic lung disease (including asthma), smokers, compromised immune system, those who’ve had their spleen removed, and those currently suffering from or being treated for cancer. These individuals should receive both vaccines on a schedule recommended by your doctor.

Please note there are some exceptions to these rules. If you have a child between the ages of 2 and 6 who has a chronic health condition, your child may need both vaccines. Also, if you receive one or both vaccines before age 65, you will need the shots again once over 65. If you, or a family member, are in either of these groups, please talk to your doctor about when and in what order the shots should be given. Winter and spring are the seasons in which pneumonia is most common so don’t delay. Stay healthy!

Bobcats Baseball is Back — All the Way Back I failed to say last week with the Bobcats winning the Deseret Sports 1A team of the year, they had 5 Championships, and no other 1A school had more than 1 championship.

Well they're back, after taking last year off the Bobcats Baseball team is all the way back. Last week they came away with two decisive victories over the Wayne Badgers and the Valley Buffaloes.

The Badgers were here and the Cats came away with a big home victory 10 to 0 and then they traveled down to Valley and they really got revenge against the Buffaloes from an early season loss big time with a 13 to 0 victory. Dyson Houston had a grand slam in that game, to go along with his pitching two shut outs.

The Cats lead region 20, with a 5 and 1 record. Last night the only team with a win over the Cats, the Piute Thunderbirds, were here and it should have been another good game. I hope you got out to see them.

Tomorrow night Escalante will be here, the Cats beat them there 20 to 0 a couple of weeks ago. The Cats go out to Wayne next Wednesday,

where the Badgers are always tough. The baseball season is way too short, the play offs start on Oct. 6.

The Lady Cats had another mixed week. Against the Parowan Rams the Cats really looked good, taking out the Rams easily in 3 games.

Against South Sevier it wasn’t that easy. South Sevier played the Cats tough and came away with 3 to 1 win. The games were all close at 27 to 25 and 25 to 23 in a couple of the games. Last night was the biggie against Piute and should be a test on how the Ladies should do in this year’s season. There will be a freshman tournament @ Millard; I think the freshman team is undefeated so far this year. The Cats next 4 games will be on the road first at Escalante, Bryce Valley, Piute and Valley games will all be away.

The Bobcats cross country team traveled out to Wayne and the boys ran away with the meet, taking 9 of the first 13 places. There was a volleyball game that night and the girl team wasn’t there. Today will

be your only chance to see the Cats in action, the race will be here and all of the volleyball team will be running, as will the boys. The Middle School race will be at 5:00 followed by the High School race. Will the Ladies take their 5th Championship in a row? And will the Bobcats finally get that elusive Championship; they have been second for so many years.

How good is Cross Country for you? Well ask a couple of last year's runners. Catania Holman has made the SUU team and because their coach saw that she has a lot of potential has put her with the 5 fastest runners. They went up to Idaho for a meet and Catania came in first place among the SUU runners and 5th overall, making her coach pretty perceptive.

Darri Frandsen also on last year's CC team, is playing on the Basketball team at SUU and the team had a two mile race and Darri lapped the team. Darri is at SUU to beat her mother’s scoring record and it looks like she has a real good start.

BVE Schools are Going Gold in the Month of September for Childhood Cancer Awareness Bryce Valley Elementary School is hosting a pajama day as part of the movement to “Go Gold in September for Childhood Cancer Awareness.” In conjunction with this project we will be having a “change war”! Each class will have a container out in front of the office with their class name on it. They are encouraged to put loose change that they have in the buckets to be donated to the “Cure Starts Now.” The last day to donate change will be on Thursday, September 24, 2015. The class with the most money will earn a prize!

As you can imagine, cancer treatment is not a quick or easy process. It is particularly difficult for children with cancer and for their families. Children with cancer can spend from weeks to months at a time in the hospital, and they endure treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, and more. While they are in the hospital, and most of the time they are at home during their treatment, these kids are usually in their pajamas.

By "PJammin" and wearing pajamas and participating in the “change war”, we are showing our support while also raising funds to help children with cancer. Let us give back to those who have fought and will fight childhood cancer by raising awareness!

Please share this information with your family and members in the community so they can also participate in the “Change War for Childhood Cancer.” The PJammin day will be held on Friday, September 25, 2015.

Thank you for your support!

WCGYB takes first at the Big Mountain Jam After a week off Wayne County Girls Youth Basketball headed to Salt Lake for the biggest summer basketball tournament in Utah, The Big Mountain Jam. The girls started out the three day tournament in pool play to seat them in the bracket. They matched up first against the Broncos, they started out struggling to find their pace against the very quick and defensively strong Broncos. They ended up down by 20 at the half. Going into the second half, their usual fight returned and led by their two captains, Kassidy Ellett and Courtney Jackson, they stepped up their momentum picking up weaknesses on the opposing team's defense and using their own speed to capitalize on offense. Kassidy controlled the pace of the game with 7 steals, two three pointers, and 6 assists. She pulled the young team within 3 with a 1:21 left on the clock when she fouled out. The girls fought hard without her but couldn't quite pull ahead in time losing their first game by 1. Courtney Jackson led the scoring with 26 points, followed by Samantha Crane with two three pointers and 8 points. Hannah Morrill also added 4 points and 5 rebounds in the 1 point loss.

(WCGYB 45 Broncos 46) Even with the tight game and tough loss the girls went into the next game with determination. They started out the game strong with Kassidy and Sam hitting three 3 pointers to give them a 14 point lead going into the half. They worked hard using their speed to match up against the larger Bear River team. They maintained their lead through the second half as everyone worked hard contributing to the win. Courtney again led the scoring with 26 points, Kassidy followed behind her with 13 points and 5 steals, Sam added 3 points,7 rebounds and 2 steals. Sami Knutson, Sierra Blackburn, and Hannah Morrill all added another 2 points each. (WCGYB 48 Bear River 34) Going into their third game of the day, mental and physical fatigue started to play into the young girls' game.

Never picking up their momentum the girls lost their third game to the Tigers. Hannah Morrill, daughter of Phyl and Shirley Morrill from Bicknell, Utah, fought hard to keep the young team in the game with 11 points, 5 offensive rebounds and 3 defensive rebounds. (WCGYB 32 Tigers 47) As the day of pool play to seat the teams ended, the girls went in their last game that night. With a black eye, bruises, infected teeth, migraines, the tired team had ev-

ery justification for a normal team or person to quit, but not these girls. As usual the inspiring young team picked themselves up and came out with determination to win the last game of the day. WCGYB's point guard came out and set the pace, pulling up and hitting several threes in the first half to set the momentum.

Followed by her co-captain, Courtney they came out giving the young team a 1 point lead going into the half. They worked hard with Samantha Knutson and Hannah Morrill battling it out in the inside against the tough Utah Xpress team to pull down the needed rebounds to keep their lead.

While Sam Crane and Sierra Blackburn, hustled on the guard line to set the defensive pace. The young team worked together fighting and talking to ensure the win. Kassidy led the way with 5 three pointers to give her 21 points, 3 steals, and 4 assists. Courtney followed her with 17 points, and 6 rebounds. Hannah added 6 more points and 5 defensive rebounds, while Sam Crane added 4 more points and 4 steals. Sami Knutson added another point and 6 rebounds.

Sierra Blackburn led defense with 5 steals and 4 rebounds.

(WCGYB 50 Utah XPress 45) After a good night's rest the girls woke up determined and confident as they took their seat in the tournament bracket. Determined to take the trophy they first matched up against Pinedale. The determined point guard, Kassidy, quickly set the pace with 3 three pointers to help with her 15 points and 3 steals in the first half to give WCGYB an 11 point lead ending the first half. The opposing team's coaches quickly placed a faceguard on Kassidy in the second half. Recognizing this and having confidence in her young team, the extremely smart point guard quickly ran over to the coaching staff making suggestions on how to pull herself out, allowing her young team to do it without her while punishing and tiring her defender. As the coaching staff allowed her to take the reins she coached her and directed her young team and watched as they stepped into new offensive roles, still pulling ahead. Sam Crane, Hannah Morrill, and Courtney Jackson led the young team offensively in the second half. With Sierra Blackburn, Sami Knutson and Kassidy Ellett leading the defense. WCGYB took the lead as new challenges were presented to the girls and they approached them learning and growing along the way, leaning on each other to give them a win putting them in the Semi

Final Game later that day.

Kassidy Ellett led the team with 18 points, 6 steals, and 4 assists. Courtney followed behind her with 13 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 steals. Sam Crane added 8 points, 5 steals, and 4 rebounds. Hannah Morrill had 5 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks. Sami Knutson added 3 more points, 9 rebounds, and 2 steals. Sierra Blackburn again led the defense with 8 steals for the 24 point win. (WCGYB 49 Pinedale 25) The Semi Final game was later that evening and as the girls started out they quickly hit roadblocks, as their two leaders and captains were pulled out of their usual roles, Courtney feeling ill from a massive toothache, struggling to think on defense and Kassidy getting into foul trouble early in the game and sidelining her for most of the second half. The semi final game quickly fell upon the younger girls' shoulders, Sami Knutson, Sierra Blackburn, Hannah Morrill and Sam Crane stepped into new roles.

on the sideline by Kassidy they knew that in order to win this game against the quick South Jordan Beatdiggers team they had to rely on fundamentals and each other. As Court joined them struggling through her illness, the other four girls stepped up for her, working together in what has been the most inspiring game of the summer season. They talked to each other, helping Courtney, and worked hard to keep the lead and build upon it.

Sam Crane being coached by Kassidy on the bench, stepped into the point guard role beautifully, while Sami and Hannah took care of the inside not allowing any extra shots to go in. Sierra Blackburn worked hard on defense to keep the Beetdiggers frustrated. As the game came to the end, the pride in the coaching staff over what these young girls just accomplished despite the odds was overwhelming. They not only played together stepping up for each other, doing more than what was asked, they understood the need to rely on their fundamentals to achieve the win showing more maturity than was expected from a team their age. Sam Crane stepped up with 12 points, 4 assists, 3 steals, and 5 defensive rebounds. Hannah Morrill followed behind her with 8 points, 6 offensive rebounds, and 1 steal. Sami Knutson added 2 points and 7 rebounds and Sierra Blackburn added 6 steals and 5 rebounds. Courtney and Kassidy combined with another 21 points, 5 steals, and 6 rebounds.

underdogs constantly playing older, bigger, stronger, teams with more depth. They have been told over and over that they are too small, too young, and that they couldn't do this.

Throughout all of the obstacles, doubters, and failures, they have picked themselves up, and worked harder relying on one another to get through each challenge. The majority of the time they don't just fight and work hard for themselves but for each other, always supporting and encouraging each other along the way. As a coaching staff we have constantly put them in situations that demands sometimes more of them then what they think they are capable of but they have stepped up in the most inspiring ways possible. Every time they step on the floor they represent where they are from to the very best of their abilities. They are not only fun to watch, constantly picking up fans at every tournament, but they also inspire those around them. These opportunities for them to learn success through perseverance and hard work would not be possible if it wasn't for the support of our sponsors. Thank you.

The next day the girls prepared for their Championship game, that afternoon.

Their bodies bruised, battered and fatigued they stepped onto the court. They knew what it would take to win a championship: defense. They matched up again against one of their pool plays, Utah Xpress, who had made it to the tournament beating Lehi and another strong team to get here.

Each team came out prepared, matching their players up according to speed and skills.

Utah Xpress learning from their past mistake quickly pulled a faceguard on Kassidy. The smart, confident team captain quickly went to work coaching her team and relying on Sam and Courtney to take the offensive lead. WCGYB pulled out ahead, all of them working together and talking constantly on defense. They understood they could win this no matter the situation if they relied on fundamentals and hard work. They fought hard and pulled ahead, constantly frustrating the Xpress team with their defense. Despite their extremely strong defensive post player Hannah getting hurt and Courtney fouling out with a couple minutes left the girls still worked together for the 14 point championship win. (WCGYB 43 Utah Xpress 29) These girls hit obstacle after obstacle this tournament, they played through blood, black eyes, pulled muscles, sickness, and pain, making that championship trophy all the sweeter.

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Do you ever think that big business is trying to speed up your life? In the middle of August we went down to St. George to COSTCO to shop and there in many of the aisles were Halloween items. Skeletons, goblins, witches and a lot of scary things two months a head of the holiday. Last week half of the Halloween stuff was replaced by Christmas toys. Time goes by so fast that I don’t need any help with their speeding it up.

Next week the start of fall starts and it has been a different spring and summer at least weather wise. After a winter with very little moisture, we had one of the wettest Mays in history. The last 4 or 5 years we have been hampered or hammered with winds from the end of April to early July, this year none of that. Because of the little moisture in the winter our ditch water was shut off in early August, the earliest I can remember. However we received some real good rain on several occasions that kept our lawns somewhat green. But for the same 4 or 5 years we have been blessed with Monsoons and plenty of

rain in August and September, not this year. There may be some relief to our water shortage in the future; there is the Godzilla of all El Ninos off the coast of Calif. The water temperatures in Southern California never goes above 60 degrees, it is now at 73 degrees and they are catching fish up in Santa Barbara that are out of Mexico. The last time we had El Ninos was in the 1990s and it provided the western states with plenty of moisture that filled up the reservoirs and provided snow for the slopes.

October is vaccination month and in Panguitch on Thursday, Oct. 15 will be the great flu shoot out at the Fire Station. It will be from 11am to 3pm, just roll up your sleeve and roll down your window and leave the rest to the hospital staff. Flu shots cost $20 (nasal spray $25) they take cash, checks or credit cards.

The shots are free if you have health insurance: Altius, Arches, CHIP, DMBA, Medicaid, Medicare, PEHP, Select Health, Tall Tree, and United Healthcare. Be sure if you are older that you check with your pharmacist on the Shingle

shot, Medicare will pay for this. Shingles are extremely painful and if you had chicken pox as a kid, you still have the virus in your system.

127,000 Utahans picked up health care plans from websites by the end of March.

About 66 percent of those that signed up are receiving tax credits to off set the cost of the insurance. You can again start to sign up for 2016 coverage starting Nov. 1st. If the legislature follows through on their idea to raise the low income pay up to 139 percent to qualify for Medicaid help in

the cost of the insurance, then almost all of Garfield County will be able to get the Affordable Health Care Insurance.

Maybe it will be an end to the jars in the gas station.

At Panguitch Elementary the 5th and 6th grade teachers will be each teaching one of the core classes to all of the students. English, math, science and history will be covered by one teacher, instead of all four. What a great idea, just like middle school.

The best is yet to come.

We have had a rash of sickness, hospitalization and even a passing of a dear friend this past week or so. We would like to send condolences out to the family of Betty Jo Hepworth who passed away this last week. She was such a special and friendly lady and will be missed by so many. In the Tropic area she was the daughter of our wonderful Dixie Shakespear. We want the family to know that we send our thoughts and prayers their way and wish them peace in their hearts at this time.

In the Garfield Memorial Hospital with severe pneumonia was Kathryn Pollock. We are glad to hear that she is home and getting better. Her doctors told her to look at a few weeks to fully recover.

Her son Kenny Pollock and his wife had one of their sons hit by a car that resulted in a broken femur and a crushed ankle. We wish him a speedy recovery. Ouch that must hurt alot. Get well Kenny we are all thinking of you.

Dee Pollock was rushed to the hospital after being hit by a falling tree. I don't have all the details but was told he may have had a concussion and is improving and hopefully got to come home this week. Duncan we are sure glad you were not hurt any worse. You are in our prayers and thoughts.

Congratulations to Dennis and Linda Johnson White who just celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary. Linda grew up in Henrieville and still comes over often to visit and attend family functions.

She also happens to be my daughter-in-law's Mother.

They are very special people and we hope they had a great Anniversary.

Going out to fight a fire and having to come home because you broke your foot.

Wow what a choice is that.

Chance Stewart you get well and we don't care if you have to go fight anymore fires. You get that foot healed. We all like you alive and home with your cute family. Hope those darn fires soon end anyways.

Of course I didn't want to get left out so I went to the hospital, twice in 5 days and had to have surgery both times. Feeling better now and want to thank the many folks who called, came or shared. I especially thank my daughterin-law, Debbie Jensen for taking time off work to spend with us and help us get on our feet.

Krisette Thompson (Roberts) had to get her husband David back into the hospital to have his recent surgery on his knee redone. It had gotten an infection and they had to remove it and scrape it out and replace the knee with a new one. David you get back on your feet and we hope you are getting better and able to walk around now without pain.

The 21st of September will be the first meeting of the D.U.P. at 3:00 P.M. in the Heritage Center. It is the Pot Luck meeting and there will be a lesson and then a history given. Hope to see you there.

Sister Lexi LeFevre is serving with a companion by the name of Sister Karlee Nielson in Pennsylvania. She is a sweet, wonderful, & dedicated missionary who doesn't get much support from home. Her mom died when she was 16 & her dad doesn't give her much support. She does hear from her Grandma once in a while. She has told Lexi that she's okay, & doesn't need anything, but Lexi knows she would LOVE anything! As a missionary mom I know how much love, support, & encouragement these missionaries need! Letters or even if you want to put together a fun package for her as a family. This would be a wonderful FHE or Sabbath activity to serve with our families. My heart just breaks for this sweet young woman who is serving so valiantly. Maybe together we can make her smile & give her some encouragement & love. Thankyou!!! Below are ways to contact her: Email - this never changes: karlee.nielson@myldsmail.net Current Address: Sister Karlee Nielson 28 Llanfair Rd.

It will be a good winter's reward to taste this great stuff you grew with your own hands. Yummy.

The Bryce Valley School PTA is looking for someone willing to be the treasurer.

OBITUARIES

"Law Dogs"

by Adus F. Dorsey II SEPTEMBER 11, 2015 In my imagination the “Law Dog” job in Wayne County, in the early twentieth century, was most likely filled by a hard of hearing Fremont farmer or anyone in Rabbit Valley large enough to cast a lengthy shadow, one that might scare off a potential criminal. The part-time law enforcement position probably came with a ten-cent silver star that someone in the county clerk’s office stamped “Wayne County” on…. And as the newly sworn in sheriff, you were responsible to provide your own safety pin. If you were fool enough to take the “Wyatt Earp” oath, the County Commissioners, at the time, reached down into the bottom drawer of a courtroom desk and handed you a rusty looking six-shooter that surely hadn’t seen a bullet in its chamber since the Civil War and then they said “Good Luck, see you next September, maybe?”

Early Wayne County lawbreakers most likely consisted of chicken and egg stealers, which in most cases turned out to be a “sly, hen-house fox,” or some local Wayne County

high schoolers naively planning a secret “Chickeree,” on or about every other Friday summer night in some secret moonlit location. In either or both cases, the sleepy eyed Fremont Sheriff often came to the conclusion that there was never enough left over evidence to prove any sort of crime had been committed.

Maybe it is just me but, I would think that the toughest part of the “Law Dog” job in Wayne County, (like in the hard working days of 20s and 30s) would be having to arrest someone. Because in most cases you were gonna have to handcuff someone you knew.

“Uhhh, Brother Robert, you are under arrest for, well uhhh I am not real sure what you are under arrest for but it must be something bad. And in the event I might have you mixed up with some other Robert, livin' at 555 Lyman Lane, well… I am sure we can sort all that out over some strong courthouse coffee first thing in the morning with Judge Judy….” “Ok Bill,” mumbled Bob, “but please don’t put those hand hobbles of yours on me too tight?”

“Ok Brother Bob,” said sad Sheriff Bill, “but you will have to promise me you won’t try runnin' off again like you did last time when I didn’t tie your hands behind your back tight enough. My old heart about give out on me while I was chasing you through the Jeffery place on foot last March,” burped Sheriff Bill… “If you try and run on me this time, I won’t hesitate one minute to shoot you in the butt, Bob.” Ok Sherriff Bill, said bad Bob. As per some ancient “Richfield Reaper,” newspaper accounts, “crime” per se’ in Wayne County in the “19 teens” wasn’t something the majority of “weekly church going” folks in Wayne County were all that worried about. “It was considered a crime if you had the time to commit a crime in those days.” Says fictitious Wayne County Sherriff Bill Taylor.

Over the course of many local Wayne County conversations, I always ask my dependable 90 + years old Wayne County informants about everything I can think of that happened in the “early days.” The more I do, the more curious-er and curious-er I get about some of the “stand outs” of the time, you know the type, the ones that had that funny look in their eye Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, then again on Friday. The scary looking ones that had never dared put any kind of scrub brush to their decaying teeth and the thought of a bubble bath on the back porch just made them grin and toothlessly chuckle.

Stuffing his stub of an index finger into his hairy right ear, to scratch a itch, my old Wayne County friend slowly nods, “No, no one like that, that I can remember right off the top of my bald head, but I am sure those types were always a hanging around, and everybody knows one or two of ‘em. And just in case you are wondering what I am really thinking, my advice would be to steer clear of ‘em, mark my word, you will be better off if you do.”

In the book “Stories From the Lives of Amasa Lyman and Fannie Mae Stewart” there is a detailed account of when, in the 1920’s, Amasa Lyman of Teasdale was deputized to dismantle some of the more unscrupulous whiskey stills in the Torrey and Fruita area. The bad-dest of the bootleggers were selling to anyone that could produce two bits. “It made no difference to whom those dirty low-down buggars sold booze to, a kid or the town drunk, that sort of thing went against my grain.”

Page 7

snarled Amasa Lyman.

Amasa Lyman was widely known to be better with a gun than anybody in Wayne County was with a rope; “He could shoot the head off a sage hen at 100 yards with that World War I German Luger of his.” In fact there was hardly a kid in Teasdale in the mid 30s that didn’t have a prized Buffalo nickel without an Amasa Lyman bullet hole in it.

Amasa Lyman Jr. was a sure fit for the Wayne County Deputy Sheriff position in the early 1920’s. Amasa Lyman, with the memory of an African elephant, he remembers his Wayne County deputy days like they were yesterday, “I served as Wayne County Deputy sheriff fer about 8 years, and during that time I had to do most of the work of sheriff too.” Amasa recalls, “Charles leaned a little bit too far to the timid side to be a good Law Enforcement Officer, especially when it came to carrying a gun with actual bullets in it. Charles never had spine enough to enforce the law on anyone over the age of ten.“ Bless his big Amasa Lyman, Teasdale, heart; in his memoirs, Amasa, with a chest full of pumping pride said, “With my Wayne County Deputy pay I bought my sweetheart Fannie Mae (Stewart) a new “Water-Witch” gas powered clothes washer. Boy, was she one proud girl, and busy… she was so busy washing everything we owned that she spent all her egg money to buy one hundred new wooden clothes pins, and with that irresistible smile of hers she smoothly talked me into stretching out two of my favorite lariats for her to hang our most personal and private possessions on. In that big brimmed straw hat she always wore, Fannie would invite everyone in Teasdale walking by and see how clean she got my home sewn skivvies. It was about six months before everyone at Sunday School or Sacrament meetings quit snickering when they saw me. But for that little while, sweet Fannie, with her new gas powered “Water-Witch” was the envy of ever female in Teasdale.”

In the early days of Wayne County, many months, sometimes years would often pass with out the need to intentionally have to pull out the old Civil war era pistol or point its bullet-less barrel at anyone in any attempt to maintain the law.

Not that I really know for sure, but I might surmise that the Civil war era rusty six-shooter, that once was single handedly credited with maintaining law and order in Wayne County, in the early days, has been long forgotten and is probably resting in peace in some dusty desk drawer that the janitor now rests is feet on while having his/her lunch.

Law enforcement techniques of the 1920s has been long ago replaced by electronic tazers and a lightening fast internet connection, so fast that it has been known to intermittently set off the blinking speed limit signs near Serenity Springs in Loa. Often times resulting in the slowing down of traffic coming from Jerry’s dairy barn, on the Fremont cut off road, all the way back to Phyllis’s house in Lyman.

In Memory of all those that choose to “Serve and Protect!”

Some names have been changed to protect relatives of the guilty.

Shirley T. Oldroyd 1924 - 2015

LOA - Our beloved family matriarch, sister, aunt, neighbor, and friend, Shirley Oldroyd, age, 91, of Loa, passed away September 8, 2015, at the Monroe Canyon Assisted Living Home in Monroe, Utah.

Shirley was born February 26, 1924, in Fremont, Utah. She was the seventh of twelve children (eleven girls) born to Myrtle Elizabeth and Robert Allen Taylor. Shirley enjoyed growing up in Fremont, and had wonderful memories of her happy childhood. She came from a closeknit family and had a strong bond with her sisters that lasted her whole life. She learned at an early age to work hard; milking cows, helping on the farm, and helping care for younger siblings.

Shirley married George Kay Oldroyd, April 3, 1944, in the Manti, LDS Temple. They lived for a short time in Idaho, but “came home to roost” and lived the rest of their lives in Loa, Utah. She was a farmer’s wife, and she embraced the role wholeheartedly. She worked hard every day making her house a home and helping on the farm. The air of her home was often filled with the wonderful scent of baking bread, rolls, or cookies. The whirr of a sewing machine could often be heard as she sewed and mended clothing for her family. She spent long hours in the kitchen cooking delicious meals for hay hauling crews, sheep sheering crews, but mostly for her family.

George Kay and Shirley were blessed with five children: Robert Edwin Oldroyd, married to Fran Lester, who now reside in Central Valley, Utah. McNeil T. Oldroyd (deceased); Lynnette Oldroyd, married to Michael Lee Milne, living in Henderson, Nevada; Mary Elizabeth Oldroyd, married to Jan Ellett, living in Loa, Utah; and Kristine Kay Oldroyd, married to Jay Booth, of Boulder City, Nevada. Shirley loved her family and was totally dedicated to being a wonderful wife and mother.

She and George Kay provided their children with the things that matter most; love, peace, security, the necessities of life, and a knowledge of who they are. They taught their children to work hard, believe in God, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life.

As an employee of the U.S. Postal Service, Shirley served as a mail carrier for over 48 years. Fondly known as “The Mail Lady,” Shirley delivered mail to all the mailboxes on a rural route that covered the road from Loa to Fremont, all the homes of Fremont, and back to Loa. In true “Shirley Oldroyd” fashion she delivered more than just mail, often putting her own messages of cheer in mailboxes on the mail route, adding stamps on people’s mail when needed, lending a helping hand if she saw a need, slipping homemade bread in the mailboxes of sick folks, hand-knit booties to homes with new babies, and heart-felt messages of congratulations, or sympathy, or whatever the occasion called for.

Shirley was a Latter-day Saint in the truest sense of the word. She loved her Heavenly Father and served Him faithfully all the days of her life. She supported her husband as he served as a bishop’s counselor and bishop for many years. She served in many callings in the church, including three missions to: Carthage, Illinois; Cove Fort, and Salt Lake City. She loved going to the temple and made weekly trips to the temple for years. She was dedicated to righteous living, and brought her children up in light and truth.

Shirley enjoyed gardening, canning, and raising beautiful flowers. She loved traveling to other countries and sites of interest. She was a talented seamstress and gifted at knitting and rug braiding. She blessed many people’s lives with special handmade gifts. She taught herself to type, and sent numerous typed letters and e-mails to loved ones.

Shirley’s life was centered in loving, caring, and giving of herself. She lived a life of service to her God and fellowman. All within her circle of influence felt of her love and were touched by her example. She will be greatly missed.

She was preceded in death by her husband, George Kay Oldroyd; a son, McNeil T. Oldroyd; her parents, Myrtle and Robert Taylor; her sisters: Thora Kammeyer, Alta Albrecht, Myrtle Elizabeth Taylor, Marjorie Ainsworth, Anna Taylor, Louisa Ruth Taylor, Rula Turner, NaDean Hatch; and a brother, Allen Taylor.

She is survived by her sisters, Betty Anderson of Salt Lake City; and Roberta Hooper of Richfield; a sister-in-law, Louise Taylor, of West Valley City. She is also survived by her four children, their spouses, 17 grandchildren, 32 great grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren.Funeral services will be held, Thursday, September 17, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. in the Loa LDS Stake Center. Friends may call for viewing at the Springer Turner Funeral Home in Richfield, Wednesday evening from 6 to 8 P.M. or at the stake center in Loa, Thursday morning from 11:00 to 12:30 prior to the services.

Burial will be in the Loa Cemetery under the care of the Springer Turner Funeral Home of Richfield and Salina, Utah.

Wills, Trusts, and More Holographic Wills Be sure to identify each bequest clearly and to give away all of your property. A frequent problem with handwritten wills is that they list some accounts and properties, but then leave out others. Property that you don't mention in your will passes to your heirs as determined by the courts.

Your heirs may not be the same persons named in your will, and may not be the ones you would have chosen to receive the assets. Also, going to court and figuring out who your heirs are can be an expensive and time-consuming matter. In addition, courts will require two witnesses who are familiar with your handwriting to testify that the will was, in fact, written by you.

It's often the case that handwritten wills don't name a personal representative. Failure to name a personal representative could result in an administration of your estate that is fully court-supervised, expensive, and lengthy.

Another important provision that is often left out of a holographic will is a waiver of bond. When you don't request a waiver, the judge can require that your personal representative post a bond. Sometimes, it's not possible to even get a bond, and if your personal representative can get one, it is generally expensive.

There are a number of other provisions that should be included in wills that the

The Stolen Truck

tHe lAuGhiNg Egg Broke pOiNt!!

One morning my sister woke up to see her two-yearold son standing beside her bed. He said "Egg broke." She promptly scolded him. "How many times have I told you not to touch the eggs?"

His immediate reply was "One, two, three..." as he pointed to a finger with each number.

Of course, the scolding was immediately over as she tried to stifle the laughter!

by Jeffery J. McKenna A holographic will is a will that is written entirely in your own handwriting. No witnesses are required, and no portion of the will may be typed. If you type some or all of the words, or you incorporate other markings or other documents into the text, you could inadvertently invalidate the will.

The idea behind holographic wills is that since the entire document is in a person's handwriting, there is no need for witnesses to sign it to establish its validity. Holographic wills don't need to be notarized either, but they do need to be signed.

Most lawyers would tell you it's a bad idea to write your own will because you can easily create ambiguities and other defects that can lead to litigation following your death. This is especially true in second marriage situations when one or both spouses have children from prior marriages or relationships.

If you decide to write your own will, you should be sure to say in the introductory sentence that it is your will, and that you are revoking all prior wills. If you don't revoke all prior wills, your handwritten will and any other wills that have not been revoked will be looked at together to determine who inherits your estate. As you may expect, problems arise when the various documents conflict.

NYC Directions

I found New York City immense and confusing on my first trip there.

One evening during the rush hour, I stopped at a newsstand in the heart of Times Square and asked the vendor which direction was north.

"Look, buddy," he replied in a loud and annoyed voice. "We got uptown, we got downtown, and we got crosstown. We don't got north."

Keeping Your Money Safe

Dad is from the old school, where you keep your money under the mattress -only he kept his in the underwear drawer. One day I bought my dad an unusual personal safe, a can of spray paint with a false bottom, so he could keep his money in the workshop.

Later I asked Mom if he was using it.

"Oh, yes," she replied, "he put his money in it the same day."

"No burglar would think to look on the work shelf!" I gloated.

"They won't have to," my mom replied. "He keeps the paint can in his underwear drawer."

Daddy had a pickup truck. An old white GMC. It was Daddy's favorite toy. His baby, don't you see.

Daddy gave that Jimmy lots of tender loving care.

You wouldn't mess with Daddy's wheels, even on a dare.

One night Daddy had a task at work he had to do.

He drove that truck. It would take just a minute. Maybe two.

Daddy let the engine run, the Jimmy out of gear, In the door and do the chore. The truck will be right here.

But hey, when Daddy come back out the Jimmy's not in sight.

It wasn't in the parking lot. It vanished in the night.

Daddy right away guessed it was stolen by some person.

Just the thought got poor old Daddy yellin' and a-cursin'.

Daddy got his son-in-law and they searched through the town.

Thing of it is, there wasn't any Jimmy to be found.

The cops investigated, for clues and this and that, And ultimately concluded, hey, that parking lot ain't flat.

They calculated slopes and bumps, trajectories, and sich, And found the truck across they highway, wrecked up in the ditch.

The unattended vehicle had rolled out, voluntary.

Do you think Daddy was all pleased with that result? Not very!

Daddy felt like hiding out, way up on a shelf, Known' he'd owned a vehicle that went and stole itself.

Tell Me

A businessman had a tiring day on the road. He checked into the local hotel and, because he was concerned the dining room might close soon, left his luggage at the front desk while he went immediately to eat.

After a leisurely dinner, he returned to the desk to retrieve his luggage and realized he had forgotten to pick up his key. He also had forgotten his room number.

So he said to the clerk on duty, "Hello, I'm Henry Davis.

Can you tell me what room I'm in?"

"Certainly, sir," replied the clerk. "You're in the lobby."

Practical Money Matters

Back-to-School Planning for Returning Students

by Nathaniel Sillin

extensive due diligence before returning to college or any other training program. That's doubly true if you can't afford tuition out-of-pocket.

Here are considerations to make before making a midor late-career return to the classroom: A degree doesn't mean a job. That may seem obvious given the recent hiring fortunes of younger, first-time college grads. However, even though some job indicators are looking up for older workers, it doesn't mean past experience and a high-quality degree or certificate program will immediately lead to employment or better pay or for how long.

Start with a thorough examination of working conditions and hiring forecasts (http://www. bls.gov/oes/) in your chosen field. If it's a complete career change, add face-to-face networking and observation of the job in action, if possible.

Most of all, it's important to know whether employers in that specific field really are interested in hiring older workers and have a record of doing so.

Fully evaluate your fi-

nances. As risky as student debt levels are now – the average student is borrowing around $30,000 – spending money on school when you're older is a much riskier proposition than when you're young. Consider that late-life tuition is money that won't go to retirement, a child's tuition, an older relative's needs, consumer debt or financial emergencies. In other words, it's an investment that really has to pay off. Also keep in mind that student debt cannot be discharged in bankruptcy. This is why it is important to seek qualified financial and tax advice before committing to spending savings or taking out student loans to return to school.

Determine how long you really plan to work. A 2013 Gallup poll indicated that three in four U.S. workers plan to work past the conventional retirement age of 65, but no one really knows how long they'll be able to work given health and other factors. Will you be able to recoup the cost of training based on the number of years you hope to work?

Find the most affordable training possible. If a field is

friendly to new workers your age, what will you have to invest in training to get the right job? Will it require a masterslevel degree or a training certificate that makes you a specialist in a specific skill? Will some employers accept free or low-cost online courses being offered by known colleges and universities? The American Association of Community Colleges' Plus 50 Initiative is a useful resource for lower-cost training options at community colleges throughout the country. Also check with your chosen industry's leading trade associations to see what certificate training is most popular within the field and what it costs.

Bottom line: Education is beneficial at any age, but midto-late career workers should evaluate their finances and thoroughly investigate degree programs before going back to school.

Could a mid- to latecareer return to college make sense for you?

It's essential to evaluate whether this is a financially risky move. In recent years, older Americans have been heading back to school parttime and during evenings in greater numbers than students of typical college age. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, enrollees 25 years of age and older account for 40 percent of all undergraduate and graduate students – by 2020, that number will rise to 43 percent.

Statistics proliferate on how much more valuable undergraduate college degrees are than high school diplomas alone – a recent Pew Research Analysis study reported that college graduates aged 25-32 and working full-time earn about $17,500 more a year than employed adults in that age group with only a high school diploma. It's an indication why college is a fairly clear sell for younger people.

However, for people over 40, there are no similarly clear-cut rewards. That's why it's particularly important to do

Bonneville Cutthroat Trout Restoration Temporary Closure of Mammoth Creek IRON COUNTY - The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources will conduct a native Bonneville cutthroat trout restoration project using the piscicide rotenone within the Mammoth Creek drainage on the Dixie National Forest, beginning September 9, 2015.

The project is consistent with the conservation strategy for the species, which is designed to prevent the fish from being listed under the Endangered Species Act. The rotenone treatment is aimed to rid all species of fish in targeted streams, ponds, lakes and tributaries in order to restore the native Bonneville cutthroat trout to a portion of the Mammoth Creek

drainage.

A temporary closure of these areas during the piscicide application will be necessary to allow ground crews to safely work in and around the lakes and streams without harm or injury to the public. All use of the water (wading, fishing, swimming, etc.) within the project area will be prohibited during piscicide application and neutralization.

Mammoth Creek is one of the primary tributaries of the Sevier River. In 2012, genetic testing confirmed that upper Mammoth Creek has a remnant population of native Bonneville cutthroat trout, the only known remnant population in the entire

Courtesy USFS

Upper Sevier River drainage.

“Finding this native population is significant because despite the competition with the non-native fish, the Bonneville cutthroat have continued to survive,” said Angelita Bulletts, Forest Supervisor.

“Restoring Bonneville cutthroat trout in Mammoth Creek will help to improve the status of the species, the ecology of the stream and the quality of recreational fishing,” said Mike Golden, Dixie National Forest Fish Biologist.

oxygen uptake from the water at the cellular level. After the rotenone has been applied, potassium permanganate, an oxidizing agent, will be applied to treated waters below the target area to neutralize the rotenone in those areas. Although liquid rotenone (product names: Prenfish and CFT Legumine) is relatively benign to humans, fish treated with the chemical have not been cleared by the Food and Drug Administration for human consumption. For that reason, fish that die during the project cannot be salvaged.

The 2015 area closures are Pursuant to Title 36 Code of Federal Regulations 261.50 (a) and (b), the following areas will be closed during the treatments for protection of public health and safety: Within 100 feet of Castle Creek and its tributaries from the confluence of Castle Creek with Mammoth Creek upstream through all Castle Creek drainage headwaters and the Deer Creek ditch conveyance (T36S, R8W, Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 14, 15, 16, 17, 21 22, 23, 26 and 27, Salt Lake City Baseline and Meridian).

Within 100 feet of Lowder Creek (including Lowder Pond) and its tributaries from the confluence of Lowder Creek with Mammoth Creek upstream through all Lowder Creek drainage headwaters (T36S, R8W, Section 18, 19, 20, 28, 29, Salt Lake City Baseline and Meridian).

The temporary closure order is anticipated to be cancelled September 11, 2015 for Castle Creek and September 25, 2015 for the Lowder Creek project area.

You live in color Advertise in color Starting October 1st The Wayne & Garfield County Insider will be available in Full Color on EVERY Page!

Thanks to modern technology we can now offer you full color, all the time, everywhere and for less!

A fourth grade class with their "Every Kid in a Park" national park passes.

BRYCE CANYON Bryce Canyon National Park is proud to participate in the “Every Kid in a Park” program as part of President Obama’s commitment to protect our nation’s unique outdoor spaces and ensure that more Americans have the opportunity to visit and enjoy them.

Fourth graders should visit the “Get Your Pass” section of the Every Kid in a Park website (www.everykidinapark.gov) and complete a fun educational activity in order to obtain and print their pass. If they desire, students can exchange their paper pass for a more durable “keepsake” Fourth Grade Annual Pass at Bryce Canyon National Park and many other participating federal sties nationwide.

The Fourth Grade Annual Pass provides free access to more than 2,000 federallymanaged lands and waters – including national parks, forests and wildlife refuges. The

pass is valid throughout the 2015-2016 school year (September 1, 2015 – August 31, 2016) and grants free entry for all occupants of the vehicle in which the fourth grader is riding (the fourth grader must be present for pass to be valid).

Teachers are encouraged to visit the www.everykidinapark.gov website to access educational activities, field trip options, and the ability to print passes for their classrooms.

Parents visiting the website can find additional links for more information on planning trips to visit their public lands.

Bryce Canyon Superintendent Lisa Eckert says, “We’re excited to welcome fourth graders and their families to Bryce Canyon National Park throughout the school year. We hope that our young visitors have fun in the great outdoors and develop a lifelong connection to our nation’s lands, waters, and wildlife.”

Leading up to the 100th

birthday of the National Park Service in 2016, President Obama launched the Every Kid in a Park iniative earlier this year as a call to action to get all children to experience America’s unparalleled outdoors. This iniative is a crucial component of a multi-pronged approach to inspire the next generation to discover all that our nation’s public lands and waters have to offer, including opportunities to be active, spend time with friends and family, and serve as living classrooms to build critical skills.

The Every Kid in a Park program is administered in partnership with the Department of the Interiro, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Education, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
