Special Stage Presentations Bring Historic Events to Life
GRAND STAIRCASEESCALANTE - N.M. - The Bureau of Land Management and US Forest Service invite you to two special stage presentations in honor of the 50th Anniversary of the Wilderness Act. On Saturday September 20, 2014, join us for “The Tramp and the Roughrider”, a delightful illumination of an historic conversation between Theodore Roosevelt and John Muir in May 1903, when President Roosevelt invited the naturalist Muir on a four-day
camping trip in the Yosemite Wilderness. Speaking as John Muir, Lee Stetson matches wits and wit with Alan Sutterfield as President Teddy Roosevelt. At the time of this historic meeting, the federal government had only established five national parks, one small wildlife preserve, and the western forests had little or no oversight. Both characters were feisty and opinionated, with sharp disagreements on issues like hunting, animal rights, and forest management. Both

Muir and Roosevelt were skillful storytellers, determined to top each other by relating their many adventures in America’s wilderness. Around the campfire, shifting through their histories and hopes, these two very different men discovered how they had been shaped by the wilderness they loved, opening the possibilities of “doing some forest good”.

ESCALANTE - Landscape painter Dennis Farris knew from an early age that he wanted to be an artist, and as this year’s Escalante Canyons Art Festival artist-in-residence, festival-goers will be in for a treat if they visit the exhibit of what he’s been working on during his stay in the area. Farris’ life-long dedication to perfecting his craft is palpable in his work, whether it is a small “a la prima” piece, as he calls it, where he quickly captures the form, tone and color of a landscape, or a more detailed
production that is the result of multiple trips to a particular location, involving longer-term study of the site. Either way, for the viewer, the response is likely to be a delighted “Ooooooh.” Though of an apparently modest temperament, Farris seems to enjoy his own work as well, and as he pulled a few recently-painted items out of his travel trailer to look at, he noted his current favorite, a painting of the big notch in the Escalante monocline that can be seen from the top of town.
Farris is staying at the Canyons of Escalante RV Park in the middle of town on Main Street and finds that he doesn’t have to go far, if anywhere at all, to find something that captures his attention. He gestured toward the monocline. “I like just sitting here and watching the way the light rolls off that rock over there, the way the sun hits it.” With that alone, he says, he has plenty to work with. “Today I was painting the clouds above it,” he said.

Escalante Canyons Art Festival Joins Celebration of 50th Anniversary of Wilderness Act
ESCALANTE - Escalante Canyons Art Festival-Everett Ruess Days celebrates the wild beauty of Escalante this year in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act. Named for the spirit of poet, artist, and adventurer, Everett Ruess, who disappeared into the remote
slickrock canyons of the Escalante 80 years ago, the festival draws plein air artists, musicians, and speakers from across the nation. The art exhibit and auction, along with music and crafts, go into full swing on Friday, September 26th, and carry through to the final

Sid Goodloe of Carrizo Valley Ranch, New Mexico with herd on rangeland. Goodloe will speak both Wednesday evening and Friday morning during the Escalante Canyons Art Festival.
In 1956, Sid Goodloe, a young West Texan, purchased the 3,450-acre Carrizo Valley Ranch, near Capitan, New Mexico. Although the purchase price was reasonable, the land was in poor condition. There were only two viable options that Sid considered, “improve the ranch or starve.” Sid began his long, trial-by-error journey to restore the Carrizo Valley Ranch back to its pre-settlement condition. Unbeknownst to Sid Goodloe, his restoration efforts embody the spirit and vision of Aldo Leopold, who was the famous conservation author of Sand County Almanac.

brunch on Sunday, September 28th, but a full week of festivities leads up to the finale weekend. Artists spread throughout the lonely canyons and perch on high vistas of the Escalante desert landscape to begin painting a week prior to the art exhibit. The plein air competition welcomes artists of any age, experience, and ability. Cash prizes totaling more than $8,000 are awarded. A highlight of this year’s festival includes a “walk and talk” around the art exhibit at 9 a.m. on Saturday, when the plein air judges will discuss judging criteria and the selection process. “Green Fire,” a fulllength film about early environmentalist Aldo Leopold, kicks off a week of activity on Monday, September 22nd. The speaker series begins on Tuesday with a special tribute to the Wilderness Act through Lee Stetson’s one-person show based on the life of naturalist, John Muir, followed on Wednesday by lifetime rancher Sid Goodloe, who will share his journey to restore his 3,450-acre New Mexico ranch back to health through conservation-based ranching. This year’s paint out, an exciting one-day painting competition held on Wednesday, September 24th, will take place along the magnificent Hell’s Backbone Loop that travels from Escalante through Art Festival

Tebbs Republican for Garfield County Commissioner "B" Meets With Escalante Citizens
On September 1, 2014, David Tebbs, the Republican candidate for Garfield County Commissioner Seat B met with a group of citizens in Escalante. My name is Jerry Taylor, and I feel David is the most qualified candidate for Garfield County Commissioner Seat B. I have worked with him closely as a fellow Mayor, and he shows great leadership and vision. He has a Finance Degree from Southern Utah University; he has 22 years of experience in management and budgeting; he has been the Mayor/Treasurer of Bryce Canyon City for seven years; he has a great understanding of public finance and government; he has been an advocate for economic development; and he has a proven, long-term commitment to the well being of Garfield County. During our meeting, the candidate was asked many questions ranging from tourism, grazing, economic development, health care, access to public lands, and county-wide representation from County Commissioners. When asked about his position on tourism, he talked about his 22 years of experience working in tourism, and that he would be an advocate for tourism across ALL of Garfield County. David was very complimentary of Falyn Owens and the Garfield County Tourism office's initiative "Take Your Time." He is committed to this strategy, open to new promotional ideas, and he will work diligently to promote ALL of Garfield County. When asked about his position on grazing, he talked about how he grew up in Panguitch, helping his family work the family ranch near Panguitch Lake. His family grazes on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) allotments south of Panguitch, and their winter range is another BLM allotment West of Milford. He understands the issues that ranchers face grazing on public lands. David pointed out that there is a liberal, environmental agenda that is prevalent in all Federal Agencies, with a goal to eradicate grazing on public lands. You will have an avid advocate with any issues related to preserving grazing on public lands. When asked about economic development, David recognized the current efforts of Garfield County to promote economic development. He will continue to support initiatives that explore ways to bring new business to Garfield County and help current businesses learn how to operate more efficiently. David would support the idea of reclaiming Native American artifacts, fossils and dinosaurs, to bring them HOME to Escalante. If we could construct a museum to house these rare treasures, we
would have a world-class museum that could draw scientists and students from around the world. He has been a supporter of the Alton Coal Development, and recognizes that natural resources can be extracted in a responsible manner, reclaiming the land, and provide jobs for families in Garfield County. David pointed out, that if in the name of science, universities and other institutions can extract dinosaurs, fossils, or Native American artifacts, we should be able to extract other natural resources that will create jobs and promote economic development. David touched on the idea that with the Internet, many of today's professional services can be provided remotely. He pointed out that we need to figure out how to attract these types of businesses, and incentive them to operate in Garfield County. He also talked about how important an efficient, quality health care system across all of Garfield County is crucial to all ages of our population. David mentioned that he would not pursue any initiative that could adversely impacts the health care system and services in Garfield County. He talked about the Rural Hospital Tax and how it allows us to continue to operate the hospitals and clinics county wide. He affirmed that the County can playa vital role in providing these types of services across the County. David mentioned that as we partner with healthcare providers, we need to continue to be competitive in our pricing for a wide range of services, and continue to efficient, quality care. Another issue that he talked about was making sure we have access to our public lands. The Federal Agencies in Garfield County continue to close roads and limit access to public lands. David recognizes the importance of keeping these roads open for access for fuel/wood, emergency services, grazing, tourism, spiritual enlightenment, and to preserve our heritage. He supports the County initiatives to keep these roads open. He pointed out that if we are going to promote tourism and encourage people to come and hike, ride, ATV, bike and "Take Their Time", they need to be able to access ALL of Garfield County.
During our meeting, many of the citizens brought up a concern about having a County Commissioner representative from the East, Center, and West sides of Garfield County, to guarantee that ALL of Garfield County's issues have representation. Currently Tebbs' challenger is from the West side of Garfield County, Panguitch, and he is running in the Center section of Garfield County, where traditionally the Commissioner B seat has been someone from the Bryce Valley! Antimony area. Many of us see this as a big concern, because the County would not be fully represented, and the voting authority would be consolidated into one community. The question was asked, "What if a representative from the West side runs in Escalante, the East side, and all three County Commissioners are from the West?" Everyone in attendance agreed that the other sections of Garfield County would not have a voice. We need to get out and vote during the election that will start, by mail in ballot, around October 15. We need to make sure that the representation continues to be county-wide. David commented that there is no law stating that his contender cannot run for Seat B. Tebbs agreed that we need countywide representation, and that people need to understand the ramifications of consolidating the voting authority in one section, or community, in Garfield County. He mentioned that Garfield County is in a great position financially, and there is a feeling of unity, because of the county-wide representation. David gave us his commitment that he will be a Commissioner for ALL of Garfield County, not just the area represented by Seat B. He recognizes that many of the challenges we are facing are the same, but many challenges differ from one area of the County to the other, and that it is crucial that we have dispersed representation throughout the County. I feel that he is the most qualified candidate for County Commissioner. He is a wellrounded individual, who is motivated to make Garfield County a great place to work, to raise a family, and to live. Jerry Taylor, Mayor, City of Escalante

Backcountry Horsemen Hold Statewide Board Meeting in Escalante ESCALANTE - On Saturday, September 13, the Canyon Country Chapter of Back Country Horsemen of Utah hosted the quarterly Board of Directors' Meeting of BCHU at the Interagency Office in Escalante. Representatives of eight chapters from around the state were in attendance, as well as several people who are also on the board of the national Back Country Horsemen of America. The most important item on the agenda that affects local residents was the overwhelming success of Back Country Horsemen in recent negotiations with Bryce Canyon National Park and the mutual respect and cooperation that have resulted. Several months ago, as was reported in this paper, Bryce Canyon NP announced changes to the rules regarding the recreational use of private horses within the Park. Statewide and nationally, Back Country Horsemen responded with numerous let-
ters and phone calls protesting the changes and offering possible solutions to avoid the large fees and concessionaireprovided guides that were being proposed. In addition to letters and phone calls, our State Chairman, Terry Morrison of Kamas, Utah, & Wayne Ludlington, a National BCHA Delegate from Price, Utah visited Jeff Bradybaugh, Superintendent of Bryce Canyon NP, in person to discuss the issue and offer options more amenable to private horse owners. BCHU volunteered to help maintain existing stock trails and also to do work projects for the Park to open and develop other trails suitable for horses. The Park agreed to drop the Coggins test requirement for Utah residents and to drop the concessionaire-provided guide requirement. Essentially, the Park agreed to all our suggestions and is looking forward to working with us in the future: a complete win/win for everyone involved.
If you want to ride in Bryce Canyon, the Park will continue to request a minimum 72-hour advance notice so that a ranger can meet you to tell you about the trail and the times you can leave so as to be between the concessionaire's rides. The only fee will be the entrance fee required of all vehicles at the gate. The Board Meeting had many other agenda items to discuss, including a very interesting presentation by Fred Leslie, the BCHU State Education Chairman, on the Leave No Trace program. A terrific pizza lunch was provided by Escalante Outfitters after which, the meeting adjourned about 2:30. Most of the representatives left to return home, but Noel Poe of Kanab stayed over to ride the Escalante River with local BCHU members Sunday morning. ―Gwendolyn Zeta

issue. Although he is realistic about his chances of winning a Congressional seat, he believes this is the best way he can bring important issues to the attention of the Utah voting public. Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree that climate change will have serious consequences for all life, including humans, before the end of this century and perhaps sooner. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a body established by the United Nations and consisting of hundreds of scientists who review the state of climate science, have issued reports stating that global temperatures have risen 1.6 degrees Celsius since the beginning of the 20th Century, with human activity being responsible for a major portion of this rise. They have predicted dire consequences, such as sea level rise, food shortages and extreme weather events if action is not taken now to alter this trend. Bill Barron is doing more than just sounding an alarm. His platform proposes a solution to reduce human-caused carbon emissions consisting of carbon fee and dividend legislation.

This year’s featured artist, Arlene Braithwaite, will offer mixed media demonstrations throughout both days of the final weekend during her art exhibit and sale. Artists Doug Braithwaite, Brad Holt, and Valerie Orlemann will also offer painting demonstrations. Painting workshops will be led by 2012 artist-in-residence Nancy Lewis and 2013 artistin-residence Wayne Geary. A full line-up of musicians from near and far will provide folk, rock, country, bluegrass, fiddle, jazz, and everything in between throughout the final weekend. Highlights include CORRECTION: In reading your article on Wayne's first football game [Wayne High School Football Game Goes Into "Nail Biting" Overtime, September 4, 2014] you list Jaxon as making the first touchdown which is not correct. Ryan Lee made the first touch down, in the first high school football game at Wayne High. Jaxon scored the second touchdown. Preston scored the extra point and Ryan scored the third touchdown to put the score at 20. Will you please make the correction. This was a history making game and want to make sure it's accurate.

One piece of information that we did not have last week at press time was that the Circle D Eatery's Hot Dog Eating Contest to benefit Garfield County Search and Rescue and EMTs raised $855. Great job, Ken and everyone who participated. Every amount helps and $10, $20 and $100 donations add up quickly. This coming week is the Escalante Canyons Art Festival and festival organizers this year have put together some amazing programming, and also have done a good job of flooding the newspaper with their information—which is my reminder to those of you who organize events that we're here to help you get the word out. Check the back page this week and next for the full festival schedule. For those of you in neighboring towns and counties this might be an especially good year to come on over and check out the festival—events are happening all week. Our Wayne and Garfield County/USU Extension staff will be making regular monthly contributions to the newspaper under the "USU and You" banner. Having some background in agriculture I have a particular fondness for Extension agents and what they have to offer in the way of farming, consumer and lifestyle information and services and we are lucky to have excellent Extension staff engaged in our communities. Thanks Kevin and GaeLynn! I am going to put out a continual call to our smaller, outlying communities: Antimony, Hatch, Fremont, Hanksville; or even closer in: Escalante, Loa, Lyman (etc), we would love to have a columnist from your town giving us the scoop on what's happening in your area.

During his first two weeks in Escalante, Farris has ventured to a number of other sites, though, including the Burr Trail, and Spencer Flats, as well as a trek all the way down Hole in the Rock road to the “hole,” and these forays have resulted in a number of new pieces. Farris considers himself mostly a studio artist. Based out of Fort Worth, Texas, he makes trips to places like Big Bend, the Texas Hill Country and the Grand Canyon, and from photographs, he creates works in his studio of realistic, Western landscapes. But he says he’s enjoying the festival’s residency, which he says is challenging him to perfect his plein air work. “It’s awesome. I like to get to know a place, I like to park myself and find my favorite little spots and get to know where I’m at,” he said. Farris’ has had similar, previous experiences with “parking himself.” In 2010, he was selected as the artist-

Farris is not only easily inspired by his surroundings but can whip up a small work in as little as an hour, so for his final exhibit at the Escalante Canyons Art Festival he’s liable to have plenty of work to choose from. “The white rock and the clouds and the blue sky…that’s what trips my trigger,” he said. In its third year, the Escalante Canyons four-week Artist-in-Residence program promotes awareness through art of the exceptional natural and cultural treasures preserved and protected by GSENM, and seeks to firmly establish the Escalante Canyons region in Southern Utah as a destination for artists and those who love art.

Notes from USU Extension Garfield County Edition
Is Aspen a Vanishing Resource? by Kevin Heaton, Utah State University Extension One of my favorite things to do in the fall is to drive through the mountains and forests viewing the changing leaf colors. Most spectacular are the aspen trees with their brilliant yellow, gold and red colors. Not only are aspen aesthetically pleasing, but they also contribute to the ecology, watershed health, timber industry and the wildlife habitat of southern Utah. However, aspen stands are declining throughout the west and specifically southern Utah. Utah once had over 2 million acres of aspen, but now has less than 800,000 acres according to Dr. Charles Kay, a Utah State University wildlife ecologist and leading aspen researcher. Dr. Kay was a guest presenter on the 15th Annual Upper Sevier Watershed Tour held on September 9, 2014. Tour participants traveled along the East Fork of the Sevier River to investigate aspen ecology and regeneration on the Paunsaugunt plateau. Despite the rainy weather, thirtyfive concerned citizens, private landowners, and public land management agency personnel participated in the event. The Upper Sever River Watershed Information and Education Committee and the Upper Sevier River Conservation District sponsored the event which also had Keith Gustafson, Forester on the Dixie NFS, Linda Chappell, Fire Ecologist on the Fish Lake NFS and Margie Brown from the Southern Rockies Fire Science Network who added to the information presented during the tour. What is causing the aspen die off or the lack of aspen regeneration? First understand that aspen rarely generate from seed in our climatic conditions, thus their only means of reproduction is by suckering. Suckering occurs in mature stands of trees, but suckering is most prolific in burned or clear cut forests. Another thing to keep in mind is that if you have four legs and a rumen you love to eat young, nutritious aspen shoots. Deer, elk, moose, sheep and cattle all readily eat aspen. Ungulate browsing is a common cause of aspen die off, but determining the culprit of which species is doing the grazing is controversial and challenging to do. In 2008, a prescribed fire called Puma burned approximately 4,000 on the Dixie National Forest and Bryce Canyon National Park on the Paunsaugunt plateau. In 2009, Dr. Kay wanted to determine the effects of herbivores on as-
pen regeneration. Four 16’ by 16’ by 8’ high enclosures were installed on Bryce NPS lands (two enclosures) and Dixie NFS lands (two enclosures). Dr. Kay developed transects and measured the number of aspen suckers and their height each year from 2010-2013. Today aspen suckers inside the enclosures are over six feet high growing like weeds, while outside the enclosure aspen are struggling to survive. This research project and data collected from over 70 aspen enclosures measured by Dr. Kay show that aspen have been killed out by repeated wildlife use, and in some cases improper cattle grazing. Keith Gustafson, Dixie National Forest Forester, showed areas where aspen had successfully regenerated without help from man and showed areas where the Forest Service is actively managing timber resources for successful aspen recruitment. The Dixie NF’s plan is to treat several small areas, approximately 100 acres in size, then monitor the treatments to see if high fencing will be required for aspen to survive until it is large enough to withstand grazing pressure (5-6 feet tall). Gustafson also noted that aspen regeneration was excellent throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s. This was mostly due to no elk in the area, low mule deer numbers, and the timber harvest practices during that time period. Aspen regeneration is very site specific. In some areas, treatments of several thousand acres are effective, while in other areas small acres can successfully regenerate aspen. One factor that cannot be ignored is the number of four legged ruminants that love to eat aspen compared to the area of the treatment. This fall as you drive through the mountains in search of beautiful fall colors, don’t just look at the beautiful golden aspen leaves, but look for young aspen suckers which will ensure the future existence of aspen in southern Utah. If aspen regeneration is lacking, it’s a sign that there may be future die offs of aspen and there may be a direct cause. Please note: the author does not encourage planting aspen trees for landscape purposes, unless the landscaper is planning on managing them as a grove of 3-10 trees. Aspen are a relatively short-lived trees and naturally sucker which is undesirable in most cases.

Hoofbeats News From Bryce Valley High by John Cloud
Well, this week hasn't been quite as crazy as some that Bryce Valley has seen to date. We had several good games this week, with volleyball and baseball still working hard and playing well, and cross country managed to move up a place in our team rankings, finally in second, rather than third! In-school activities are still grinding on, although several students (especially upperclassmen) are groaning quite audibly as the novelty of the school year begins to wear off. FCCLA has kicked off, with a few of our students joining at the last second, and our Constitution bowl is com-
plaining about the fact that the bowl seems to move forward a month or two every year, formerly at the end of the year, and now taking place at the beginning. It has also been wondered in what ways the Panguitch teams will bend (or even break) the rules this year, potentially through their judges. Part of this line of conversation may come from the fact that the Bryce valley team is for the most part unprepared, and relates the moving of the event to the stress levels of a college final, due to the high level of cramming taking place. Our music program is
moving along as well. Our fledgling orchestra is beginning to get the hang of working together in a rhythm, and beginning to understand where their notes are on their instruments (thankfully) and our Chorus members, though few in number, are enjoying themselves a good bit. It is expected that both programs will improve, and the Chorus class is expected to perform on Veterans Day, while the Orchestra class is planning on holding a performance in late October. Thus the week has passed! More from Bryce Valley soon! John Cloud is a senior at Bryce Valley High School.

Cheer for the Cats
The Bob Cats Baseball team got a split this week in a couple of home games. Against Valley on Wednesday they came away with a big win, taking down the Buffalo’s 7-4. On Friday the Cats came up against the very good Piute team and lost 8-3. Baseball season is really short. The Cats had a game against Escalante there last night and they only have two more home games left. Bryce Valley will be here on the 19th and the always tough Wayne
Bryce Valley Track Team by Nathan Platt
On Thursday, September 9, there was a cross country meet hosted by Wayne High School. The course was different this year and consisted of runs in the canyon and along dirt roads as well as on pavement. The runners and coaches all had positive things to say about the course. It was just the right mix of challenging terrain and places for spectators to view the finish. The Bryce Valley teams and individual runners all made improvements in their forms and performances. The following 7th and 8th grade runners medaled: Trayten Tebbs, 1st; Jacob Brinkerhoff, 10th; and Morgan Platt, 3rd. For the Varsity Luke Brannon placed 5th; Gerald Nez, 7th; Ashlee Chynoweth, 4th; Danielle Brinkerhoff, 6th; Sierra Leech, 7th; and Danica Rose, 8th. It is fun to see so much improvement and clustering of Bryce Valley runners at the front of the pack. We are looking forward with excitement for a great season.
will be here on the 24th. Get out and cheer for the Cats, they are a fun team to watch. They do have two more away games @ Valley on the 26th and Piute on Oct. 1st. The quarter finals will be held in Spanish Fork on Oct. 7th. The Lady Cats Volleyball Team came away with three more wins. With pretty easy wins against Valley, taking all three games. In the second Brenna Mooney served 19 straight points and the Cats won 25 -5. Milford was here Friday night and it was more of the same, with the Cats again winning in three sets. The girls finally got a good match down in Kanab. This is their second meeting with the same results. The scores were 25-17, 21-25, 25-20 and 25-19. Kanab gave some very badly needed competition for the Ladies. Last night the Lady Cats met up with the Piute Thunderbirds, in their toughest match up in Region 20. Piute also beat Kanab and
hopefully you made it to the game. On Sept. 20 the Freshmen Tournament will be held in Milford. Go on over and see the future of volleyball here in Panguitch. Hey, we got our new seats in the gym. There are 100 of them and they are all sold out for the year. The Boys were victorious at the Wayne cross country meet, with eight of them finishing in the top 15. Jonah Shoppe is really developing into a very good runner. He took 2nd , Connor Andersen recovered from the cramps at Piute to place 4th, Garrett Finch 8th, Bosten Englestead 11th, Trenton Stowe 12, Josiah Sarles 13th, Eon Andersen 14th and Janzen Orton 15th. Today the cross country meet will be here at PHS. Each school only gets to host one of these meets. The race will start at 5 p.m., with the middle school leading off. Both the girls and boys from the Middle school have been winning every week, and are fun to watch.

Concurrent enrollment allows students to receive credit in both college and high school classes at the same time. Over the past three years, Garfield School District has invested in providing additional academic opportunities for students who would like to pursue college credits while they attend high school. This has been achieved by increasing the connectivity capability in all three high schools, providing support staff, classroom computers, and increased wireless access. We have worked with legislators such as Senator Okerlund to help ensure funding to Snow College to provide additional concurrent enrollment classes for students. With the increased emphasis in college enrollments, the number of students enrolled in concurrent enrollment classes continues to increase in the District. • 2010-2011 33 Credits Awarded • 2011-2012 233 Credits Awarded • 2012-2013 455 Credits Awarded For the 2014-2015 school year, we are anticipating 513 credits in just the first semester. If the numbers hold true for the second semester, students will receive over 1000 college credits in one year. Students are required to pay for the college text and approximately $15.00 for each 3 credit course. To place a dollar figure on 1000 college credits, if the student enrolled as an adult at USU and paid $163 for each credit, it would be equivalent to $163,000. Basically, the students this year will earn approximately $163,000 worth of college credit in one school year. Student interest and enrollments in the concurrent enrollment program are 110 at Panguitch High, 31 at Bryce Valley High, and 30 at Escalante High for this semester. The District will continue to provide the resources students need to invest in their post-secondary schooling. ―Superintendent Ben Dalton

A discussion was held about some possible unintentional consequences of Concurrent enrollment. Some WHS
Page 5

Torgerson reminded the Board that SAGE Assessment results would be made public in October, but lower scores are expected. USBA 2015 legislative priorities were briefly discussed, with mention of the importance of the legislature funding growth, even for districts that may not experience growth in enrollment. It was noted that the USBA had voted on a resolution regarding the protection of School Trustlands in the proposed Utah Canyonlands study area. Board members approved. Business items: April Torgerson was elected Board Vice President Discussion was held on the revised Extra Curricular stipend schedule. Various ideas were
presented to try to clarify misunderstandings. The Supt. will revise the schedule based on feedback and bring it back to the Board.

Is that...Lady Godiva? Why no, it's Goathead Waters, sporting this year's latest fashion: a goathead veil (and a beverage). For some reason, Escalante's annual "Goathead Roundup" continues to thrive, if only for the sheer joy of loving to hate goatheads. This year's roundup winner was Goathead Wolverton, (below left) who took 1st place, bringing in 70lbs (Wolverton is recognized locally as a professional goathead herder). Goathead Waters had the most seeds on a plant (did somebody actually count?) and Marian Casse (not shown) took 1st place for the longest plant at 147 inches long! Goathead Hutchison, lower right, did not win any prizes, but proudly shows off his haul. In all, 300lbs of goat heads were collected. No doubt, there will be more "goathead joy" next year, as goatheads are a gift that keeps on giving. Photos and goathead data provided by Marian Louise Barnes, Escalante City Councilwoman

Nelson. The young tired Varsity team was down by 22 points in the first half of their last game against AIMhigh Elite Athletes. Brynnli came in and revived the team with her aggressive defense and 7 steals to help pull the WCGYB team ahead by 1 with 6 seconds left. WCGYB lost with a foul on the shot with .6 seconds left as the AIMHigh Elite Athletes made both their free throws. Brynnli is a tremendous defensive player leading the team in steals. These girls worked hard and was constantly complimented in this tournament on their work ethic, determination, and sportsmanship. This tournament was sponsored by:

FYI Panguitch
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com The big news last week was the weather. We had a great rain here, about an inch and a half. The big front of the storm hit Mesquite and south to Vegas. Also the gorge south of St. George was flooded and the road was closed for a couple of days. However the road south of Mesquite was torn up for about 4 miles and the traffic had to be detoured through Cedar City to State Road 56. The highway became part of a 200 mile detour around the flooded areas by meeting up with U.S. 93 near Caliente, Nevada and finally working your way back to 15 just north of Vegas. It became one giant parking lot, with cars backed up to get on the road for 24 miles. This heavy traffic has taking its toll on SR 56, the road was not maintained and the Semis have ruined the road. Last Friday they opened one way traffic in both directions from Vegas and St. George. The power was also off in Mesquite for three days. Think of all the money it saved the hotels in that time. The good news, the local businesses did well due to the tourists who could not get home and so stayed in and around this area. While out selling Lions Club Calendar Advertisements, I learned some things. Mary Beth Veater told us that JW Disposal Company has been sold to a company out of Delta. They service two other communities, Delta and
Milford and our service will continue, Amen. The problem that JWD was having was that Wally was a great mechanic and could keep the equipment running. Without him the repairs were very costly. Mary Beth kept things going for the last 6 months some how. When I saw her she was celebrating the sale by treating herself to some ice cream at the Gem Theater. Tug Nay has purchased his father's business, Nay Custom Meat and his grandmother's home next door. Boy was I the only one in town that did not know this bit of information? It is good to see the business continue in the family. Tug's Grandfather started the business and he is the third generation owner. I understand that Tug got a 6 point elk in the bow hunt. I know where he can get it cut up. Nate and his brother Eric Houston have bought both of the Silver Eagle and Subway businesses. It is good to have Nate and his family back home. This is really late news. Even Pat knew this! The Thunder Horse Mercantile business sale has fallen through and the store will remain closed. Last but not least my wife told me a couple of months ago that it looked like Russell Buckley was getting serious. He was holding Jackie Soper’s hand. Well, Russell said it got past the serious part
and he married the beautiful Jackie last June. Congratulation Buckley’s, even if it is a little late. Things are really picking up at the Bryce Canyon Park. This morning (Sunday) there were 14 tour buses parked at Sunset Point and really had things jammed up. Ruby’s Inn removed their Texaco station last week, just in time. Many of these buses were parked in that space, when I finished work. At this Sunday's LDS Services, there will be the televised dedication of the Ogden Temple. You need a Temple Recommendation to attend. You are asked to bring a white handkerchief with you and also 8 years old and up with recommends are also invited to attend. Another also, the times are 10, 1 and 4 p.m.
at the stake center. Arrive ½ hour early. The Panguitch Addiction Recovery Program is held every Wednesday at 7:30 at the Stake Center. Enter through the far East door on the North side of the building (in the high council room). This is an anonymous 12 step program open to all those who need help with addictions of any kind. Many who struggle with addictions find the support of others help them overcome and cope with their difficulties. Meetings are confidential.

Later in the day all of the Syrett Family and friends were at a dinner and received a big surprise when Cajun's brother, Taryn Syrett announced he had been called to serve in Billings Montana Mission. He had kept it as a big surprise for his family. His mother knew because she had to help him complete some of the steps but all others were very surprised and happy for Taryn. He goes into the MTC in December. He is the son of Bryce and Cherish Syrett and the grandson of Rod and Kathern Syrett of Bryce Canyon City and Mike and Margaret Tebbs of
Panguitch. Congratulations to you Taryn. Henrieville families enjoyed the "Harvest Dinner" that is held annually at the Henrieville Park. They had a great turn-out. Kids chased and played and the adults visited. Many ladies enjoyed the "Follow Your Yellow Brick Road" held in Escalante. It was an uplifting evening with talks and a special musical number by Lizzie Platt, Shelby Mathews and Colette Mathews who played the piano for them. Chris Mathews became a

SAGE-GROUSE AND LIVESTOCK GRAZING Four years ago, I said I believed livestock and sagegrouse could coexist on Parker Mountain. I still believe that, however, it could become more complicated. Fish and Wildlife Service are under a court order to determine by, September 2015, whether sage-grouse should be listed as threatened. BLM and Forest Service have published a draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) that considers alternatives for management.
Here is how I have been involved: - Drafted the letter from Wayne County to the BLM requesting we be recognized as a cooperating agency. Request was granted. - Drafted Wayne County’s comments in reply to BLM’s and Forest Service request for a statement of issues and concerns. - Organized and facilitated a meeting where BLM met with cooperating agencies to explain the most effective way to respond to the DEIS. - Reviewed DEIS and drafted County’s response. Wayne County members of Parker Mountain Adaptive Management Collaborative Working Group (PARM) did the heavy lifting. If you graze livestock on Parker Mountain, be sure to thank Andy Taft, Jim Lamb, Dave Christensen, Dave Chappell and Paul Pace for their efforts on your behalf. If Fish and Wildlife Service determine sage-grouse should be listed, they will prepare a recovery plan. I will be involved. Wayne County’s position is that Parker Mountain sage-grouse are in good shape, numbers are increasing, and limited hunting is allowed. What permittees and PARM are doing is working and should be allowed to continue whether sage-grouse are listed or not. If you have grazing permit on Parker Mountain, when you vote ask yourself this question: which candidate will most effectively represent my interests?

Wills, Trusts, and More State to State Estate Planning by Jeffery J. McKenna
Relocating to a new state often creates issues affecting estate planning. Many people wonder if they need a new will or trust when they move from one state to another. Although a will or trust validly executed in one state should be valid in a different state, it is a good idea to have the estate planning documents reviewed. By addressing issues related to the relocation, an individual can avoid certain problems and maximize possible benefits. One problem that can be avoided relates to references to another state's laws. Often, estate planning documents reference a particular state's law as the governing law. Many times specific state statutes are referenced. If someone dies in a "new" state, the references in the estate planning documents to the “old” state's laws can be problematic. By executing an amendment to the trust or codicil to the will that changes the state law references to the "new" state's law, one can avoid possible problems. Another concern that should be addressed pertains to special health care documents. In a complete estate plan, one should have legal documents pertaining to medical treatment decisions. These documents usually consist of what is commonly referred to as a "living will" (more formally titled “Directive to Physicians”) and a durable power of attorney for medical matters. These documents are very useful if an individual becomes incapacitated and unable to make his or her own decisions. The documents allow one to specify what medical treatment he or she desires. Additionally, the living will directs the treating doctor or health care facility to allow the termination of life support if the individual is determined to be in a vegetative state without possibility of recovery. Significantly, these documents are created by state law. Many states have special provisions related to these medical treatment documents. Although a living will or power of attorney validly executed in one state should be valid in another, the doctors or health care facilities will probably be most familiar with the documents used in their state. Another issue related to relocating to another state that should be addressed in order to maximize potential tax benefits pertains to community property. There are ten community property states
(Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Idaho, Texas, Washington, Louisiana, Wisconsin, and Alaska – with Alaska recently adopting a form of community property ownership). Many married couples relocate to or from community property states. If a married couple has moved from a community property state or is planning to move to a community property state, they should have their estate plan reviewed. For married couples, maintaining or establishing the characterization of property as community property can be beneficial. If property is community property, when one spouse dies the surviving spouse can sell appreciated assets (at or shortly after the time of the spouse's death) without having to pay capital gains tax. This is not the case for property owned jointly by a husband and wife that is not community property. For property owned by a husband and wife that is not community property, a surviving spouse will have to pay a capital gains tax on one-half the appreciation of assets sold at or shortly after the time of the first spouse's death. Depending on how long the asset has been owned and the amount of appreciation and

potential capital gains tax, the tax savings of maintaining or establishing the characterization of property as community property can be significant. The preceding issues are just a few of the estate planning items that should be considered when relocating from one state to another. Jeffery J. McKenna is a local attorney serving clients in Utah, Arizona and Nevada.

Flight School
I was taking a ground school class for private pilots. During the session on weather, the instructor wanted to discuss the concept of sublimation, the act of going from a gas to a solid skipping the intermediate liquid stage. He gave as an example water vapor in the air condensing on a plane's windshield to form ice. Wanting to see if the class had understood the concept, the instructor asked if anyone could provide an example of something that went straight from a solid to a gas. He was expecting "dry ice" as the answer. One of the students blurted out, "Burritos."

I'm a counselor who helps coordinate support groups for visually-impaired adults. Many participants have a condition known as macular degeneration, which makes it difficult for them to distinguish facial features. I had just been assigned to a new group and was introducing myself. Knowing that many in the group would not be able to see me well, I jokingly said, "For those of you who can't see me, I've been told that I look like a cross between Paul Newman and Robert Redford." Immediately, one woman called out, "We're not THAT blind!"
Special Communication
Couples who have lived together for a long time have developed their own method of communication. One day I heard my mother yell upstairs to my father, "What are you looking for in that closet?" My father yelled down, "Nothing!" My mother thought a moment, then replied, "Well, it's not in there. Look under the bed!"

A married couple was vacationing in Yosemite. The wife expressed her concern about camping because of bears and said she would feel more comfortable in the hotel. The husband said that he'd like to camp. To calm her concerns, he suggested they talk to the park ranger to see what the likelihood of a bear encounter would be. The ranger told them, "Well, we haven't seen any grizzlies in this area so far this year, or black bears, for that matter. "The wife shrieked, "There are TWO types of bears out here? How can you tell the difference? Which one is more dangerous?" The ranger replied, "Well, that's easy -- see, if the bear chases you up a tree and it comes up after you, it's a Black Bear. If it shakes the tree until you fall out, it's a Grizzly." The hotel room was quite nice.

Bryce Canyon National Park to Issue Firewood Permits Bryce Canyon National Park will be accepting public requests for those interested in receiving a spring 2014 firewood collection permit. Excess firewood periodically becomes available in the park for a variety of reasons including reducing the amount of wildland fire fuel, forest restoration, trees downed by high winds, construction projects or hazard tree removal. The wood is primarily pre-cut cured ponderosa pine. Firewood permits cost $25/cord and allow up to two cords to be collected at one time. There is no guarantee that there will be two cords available for each permittee. Specific site guidelines and regulations, including hours and dates of collection, will be explained at the time the permit is issued. Those interested in applying for a permit are asked to phone (435) 834-4755 between midnight Tuesday September 23, 2014 until midnight Friday September 26, 2014 and to leave their name and daytime telephone number. Names left before Tuesday September 23rd will not be accepted. Once compiled, permits will be issued on a lottery basis. Applicants will be contacted by park staff to schedule pick up times, payment, and discuss other requirements.
