Historic Landmark Restored, Brick by Brick ESCALANTE - The historic Peoples Exchange General Merchandise store in Escalante is being restored to reflect its original design and use. Built between 1899 and 1901 by Morgan Richards, this well-known local landmark served as a mercantile and general store from 1901 until 1958, and today receives nation-wide attention. The Peoples Exchange Corporation that operated the original store was formed
the construction of the larger store before he and his family moved away from Escalante. The store, located at the northwest corner of Center Street and 100 North, is in the heart of the Escalante National Historic District, established in March of this year, and is the only remaining store on what was originally the town’s Main Street. It is number 36 on the Escalante Historic District Walking Tour brochure, which is available at public facili-

by Isaac J. Riddle, Perry M. Liston, Rufus Liston, Robert F. Hall, George Davis, and George B. Wilson. Isaac Riddle continued operating the store until 1930, and Richard and Della Christiansen operated it from 1936 to 1958. The pioneer red brick home that still stands immediately behind the store housed the original Peoples Exchange, which was begun by Victor and Hannah Bean in the 1890s as a home industry. Sundry items were sold, and shoppers could also trade and exchange their local products. Victor Bean apparently was also involved in
ties and businesses throughout town. The style of the Peoples Exchange clearly reflects the architecture of much earlier historic Mormon residences, public buildings, and businesses that were built before 1850 in Nauvoo, Illinois. These brick buildings characteristically have square or rectangular floor plans, steplike pyramid facades, recessed front entries, three equal-size windows in the second story, and a rainbow-like arch in the top center.

Utah Artist Embraces Science, Mystery
Landscape Painter Wayne Geary is Featured as ECAF’s Artist in Residence ESCALANTE - This year’s Artist in Residence, hosted by the Escalante Canyons Art Festival—an event that is decidedly all about the plein air approach to painting—considers himself not so much of a plein air artist but more of a studio artist. Nevertheless, Wayne Geary’s work is so deeply immersed in the landscape of southern Utah and the Colorado Plateau that it hardly seems to matter. As a professional artist and arts educator, he can easily slide into the plein air mode and is currently working on an assortment of pastel, water color and oil works during his two week stay in the Escalante region. Geary is a Utah native, and has specialized in landscapes that have built upon and still currently reflect his earlier work as an abstract painter. Some of his depictions are quite accurate and realistic, while he says others are derived from fantasy, imagination, and even his dreams. It’s the geology of the region, and his blend of attention to both science and the mystery of the landscape that makes his work unique. “I’m interested in geology and the geological history of this country,” says Geary. “I don’t know how you can really

understand the history of this area without knowing the difference between Navajo Sandstone and Wingate Sandstone, because they are so different. But I am not objective about looking at it like a scientist would be. I just find it fascinating here because it is all so laid out, it is so in your face.” Born in Ogden, Mr. Geary’s father was in the U.S. Air Force, and the family
moved around a lot. Mostly they were stationed back east and also for four years in Europe. But Geary says that while he was away he really missed the mountains and western landscapes. He moved back west right after high school, living in numerous places including Seattle, San Francisco and northern New Mexico. He feels his current and long term home of Salt Lake City
is a good choice because it is centrally located among the landscapes he chooses to work with. When asked why he is compelled to paint, he says, “It’s not for practical reasons at all. It’s something in my soul, of vital importance to myself. I have to do art. It’s Utah Artist

Upcoming Conference Geared for Experienced and Budding Writers by Bob Phillips, Contributing Writer
BOULDER - Utah’s first poet laureate and Pulitzer Prize nominee David Lee will highlight the fifth annual Cliff Notes Writers Conference in Boulder in early October, offering a public reading as well as teaching aspiring writers what he knows about the craft— which is plenty, according to past conference participants. Lee will be joined by Boulder writer Dianne Oberhansly and Philadelphia writer Eleanor Wilner. The conference, taking place Oct. 3-5, will include readings by all three writers as well as classes tailored to the different interests of participants. The readings are all free and open to the public, while class sessions cost $25. Lee will give a reading at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 3, at the
Kiva Koffee House midway between Escalante and Boulder; Oberhansly will read from her works at 7 p.m. Friday at the Anasazi State Park conference room; and Wilner will offer a reading at 7 p.m. Saturday at the same location. Lee will present a general writing discussion Friday, Oct. 4, at 9 a.m. at the Boulder Community Center; Wilner will hold poetry workshops Friday from 1-4 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon; and Oberhansly will conduct a food writing workshop Saturday from 1-4 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. noon. Conference organizer Cheryl Cox said that the event at the Kiva was organized in part hoping to draw Escalante residents. Last year’s reading in Boulder by the acclaimed
Utah poet made a deep impression on all who attended, but deserved a much larger audience than the 20 or so who attended, she said. Lee, who is Cox’s own primary writing mentor, is not only a top-flight poet and writer, but also a compelling reader and an “incredible teacher,” she said. While not all great writers are good teachers, Cox noted, Lee is both – and he has also helped conference organizers locate other good teachers, she said. Cox, a Boulder native and a writer herself, has studied under a number of writers. David Lee was her first college writing instructor, and still stands out as the best, she said. “I have had a lot of teachers, but I can unequivocally say, David Lee is the best teacher
I’ve ever had,” she said. Oberhansly also resides in Boulder, and has participated as a student as well as taught at the conference in the past. This year she will offer a bit of a twist by teaching about food writing – although the writing for the class can be of any kind ranging from poetry to fiction to non-fiction as long as it pertains to food, she said. Oberhansly’s two workshops will also discuss tasting techniques and learning to understand – and communicate – aspects such as texture and visual appeal, she said. Writing about food will necessarily entail tasting food, she said, “so we can talk more fully and more completely Writer’s Conference Cont’d on page 3

Starfest Memories
Local Boy Scout Sets New Record PANGUITCH - On September 22, Eagle Scout Tyler Roundy was awarded the coveted Silver Palm Rank. What made this so unique is that Tyler just turned 14 less than 4 months ago. This is a new
record of achievement for the Panguitch area, and perhaps for Southern Utah. Normally, only a small percentage of boy scouts earn the Eagle Rank. An additional 5 merit badges within 3 months is required to earn the Bronze Palm, followed by another 5 merit badges and 3 months for the Gold Palm. Finally, another 3 months and 5 more merit badges are required to achieve the Silver Palm. Of course, the scout is expected to live the Scout Oath and Law as a part of his daily life. Tyler is always a good example of what boy scouting is all about. His father Raymond, and his older brothers Eric and DaLandmark

The current owners of the Peoples Exchange are Howard Hutchison (co-founder of the Escalante Canyons Art Festival), Larry Barnes, and Louise Barnes (Escalante City Council Member). Restoration of the store began in earnest in June 2013, and was essentially completed by September, in time for the Arts Festival, which is being held in Escalante this week. The contractor for most of the restoration work is Sidney Moosman of Escalante, the chimney restoration was done by Jeff Dunn of Escalante, scaffolding was provided courtesy of Mark Austin Designer Builder, electrified Victorian gas lights are by John Pegan, and the overall restoration concept was by the current owners. During the course of restoration 1,178 salmon-colored pioneer bricks were replaced. A mortar mix that is compatible with these bricks (9 parts native sand, 2 parts hydrated white lime, 1 or 2 parts white Portland cement) was used so that the mortar would match the original and perform properly in our severe climate. Modern hard mortar, if used with heritage bricks, can to split and crack during freezing weather. It was decided that sec-
vid, helped set the standard of achievement in earning scout ranks. Congratulations Tyler! Continue to set your standards high. Several other scouts in unit 681 may very well challenge Tyler in rank advancement. In addition to the 12 boy Eagle Scouts still in the unit, 7 Life Scouts are currently working on the final requirements for the Eagle Rank. Chasyn Campbell and Christopher Parkin were awarded the Life Rank at the recent Court of Honor. Many other awards were also earned and presented, including 4 Star Ranks and 79 merit badges. Leading the push for achievement are the adult leaders and the boy scout’s parents. Scoutmaster Scott Campbell accepts nothing but the best from his scouts. He is assisted by Royce Pollock, Raymond Roundy, and Uriel Zubia. Brian Stowe and Brian Bremner coach the Varsity Scout Team. Newly appointed Andy Black is assisted by Ben Dalton as Venturer Crew Leaders. The Panguitch Third Ward Bishopric are all strong supporters of the boy scout program. ALL boys, ages 8 to 18, living in the boundaries of the ward, are strongly encouraged to become involved in the boy scout programs. —Norman McKee ondary modifications to the store, some apparently made during about the 1920s to 1950s, would be removed and replaced by those similar to the building’s original features. The Victorian brass lights, potbelly stove, and circa 1900 golden oak furniture complement two original oak display cases. The sloping roof over the front entry was re-sheathed with decorative Victorian style cedar shingles cut into patterns seen in the gables of other Victorian buildings in town. The exterior paint colors (goldenorange with chocolate brown details, and black window sash) match the surviving original paint on the building. As part of the Escalante Canyons Art Festival, on Friday, 27 September, an exhibit of local hand-made quilts and original art depicting the building will be shown in the Peoples Exchange. The building and its history were also discussed during a talk Wednesday evening, September 25, given by Larry Barnes and Jerry Roundy, that was also part of the Escalante Canyons Art Festival. In the future the owners plan to operate a store at Peoples Exchange in which they may sell general notions, art, crafts, and antiques. —Larry Barnes
Holiday Shopping in Escalante It’s never too early to find the perfect holiday gifts for friends and family and the Escalante Art Festival, September 27 and 28 is the exact venue to find the unique gifts that will make everyone ask, “Where did you find this?� How about a hand-painted silk scarf for Mom and a hand crafted leather knife holder for Dad? A carved wooden box for that special person to hide love letters in? We have one booth this year that will specialize in unique cycled up clothing, fun skirts, dresses, and frilly skirts for girls and women. How about a set of hand thrown pottery mugs or soup bowls for the newlyweds? Not to mention tons of affordable art and jewelry. So come on over to Escalante and spend your holiday money in Garfield County this year. Wouldn’t it be perfect to get a start on your holiday shopping and just need someone to wrap it for you? —Dana Waggoner
Hole in the Rock Area Recreation Study – Last Chance to Participate GRAND STAIRCASE-ESCALANTE NATIONAL MONUMENT – The public is invited once again to join the conversation about recreation management and the places accessed via Hole in the Rock Road that are considered special. This is the last of three rounds of focus groups hosted by Colorado Mesa University’s Natural Resource Center and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. The sessions are slated for September 27 and September 28 in Escalante, to coincide with the Escalante Canyons Art Festival. The study seeks to engage local leaders, business owners, residents, and visitors that either participate in recreational activities in this area of the Monument or have a stake in the quality of the experience of those that do. The idea behind the focus groups is to open dialogue between GSENM and the public on recreation issues, to provide information for future planning efforts and project assessments, and to gather data needed to better understand the public’s desired outcomes for recreation management in the Hole in the Rock Road area. The focus groups will be facilitated by Dr. Tim Casey, Professor of Political Science at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction, Colorado. Dr. Casey is a lead researcher and field coordinator at NRC and has extensive experience working with BLM on similar social science projects on the Colorado Plateau. He has been responsible for facilitation of public meetings and focus groups regarding public lands since 2006. Each focus group session will last approximately 90 minutes and is limited to 25 people. The schedule, times, locations, and target participants are noted below: FRI. Sept. 27 FRI. Sept. 27 SAT.

actually result in a net gain in water quantity. Water is stored in the beaver ponds and in streamside water tables to be released later in the summer. This practice not only benefits downstream water users, but the overall condition of the watershed, including grazing, wildlife, and recreation. The absence of beaver has contributed in many watersheds, especially in southern Utah, to severe erosion and diminished beneficial vegetation. Many streams have headcut 10-2030 feet deep, resulting in loss of the water table which provides habitat for grazing and wildlife. Beaver populations sometimes do have a downside when they invade canals, place dams effecting transportation structures or other manmade structures. However with a proactive approach, the problem individuals can be trapped and successfully relocated to areas that would benefit from their activity. In conclusion, I would like to see a proactive approach toward the control and management of beaver populations by water districts, government agencies, agricultural, and wildlife interests. Beaver can be an effective tool to conserve, protect and even increase water supplies. Let’s face it, with limited water quantities, we all have a vital interest in our water, not only now, but for our posterity.

Utah’s water has been a significant part of my life. For over 30 years, I worked for the State of Utah at the Division of Water Quality, monitoring and evaluating water and watersheds on virtually every stream, river and lake in the State. Many of our watersheds are in relatively good condition. However, increased impacts by municipal, industrial, agricultural, recreation, wildlife, and other uses are a cause for concern both in quantity and quality. Many watersheds are quite fragile and with the increasing demand for water needs, improvement, protection and wise management planning is critical. Currently, I have become aware of the debate over the control and relocation of beaver as their part in Utah’s water issues. After evaluating and assessing hundreds of stream segments across the State for the Division of Water Quality, I have come to the conclusion that beaver can play a vital role in water conservation and protection. Stream evaluation data clearly indicates that watersheds with beaver populations generally have streams with better habitat, thus reducing erosion, increasing the groundwater table, and reducing sedimentation into our lakes and reservoirs. Some may think that beaver impede getting spring runoff waters into the reservoirs. This may be true in the short time, but it has been documented that watersheds with beaver activity (dams) holding back some of the snow pack and runoff

about the process of tasting food, sight, texture, all of the sensory experiences that go with eating.� The food writing classes fit in with a desire to offer something different every year that might attract new participants, Cox said. The conference also allows participants ample time to get outside and write, often guided by creative prompts or other exercises provided by the teachers, she said. The conference, which was begun by Cox five years ago and was inspired in large part by her studies under Lee, has served as a springboard for the development of a local writers group that includes a diversity of individuals, including Cox, Oberhansly, Thompson and numerous others. Oberhansly said she has been impressed by the accessibility of instructors compared with other conferences. The visiting writers make themselves available and remain engaged with students and enthusiastic over their efforts, she said. “So, really, no matter what it is that you’re writing, all the
teachers that are there talk directly to you in ways that help make your writing better,� Oberhansly said. The landscapes of the Escalante have drawn an assortment of writers and other artists to the area, herself included, she said. “I can’t tell you how surprising it is for someone like me to find so many other people who are interested in writing,� she said. “For a town this small we have some really talented writers who live here.� “Even though I don’t write about nature, (the landscape) definitely gives me that open feeling, a nurturing feeling, a feeling of solitude that I as a writer need to write from,� she said. “And I think that’s what a lot of the other creative people who live here share with me.� Cox has local roots in Boulder and Escalante, but she understands the appeal of the area to creative personalities. The ambiance of the landscape mixed with friendly creative residents has drawn visitors back time and again, she said. “Once you bring them they want to come every year after that,� she said. “All they have to do is come one time. It’s never hard to get people to come back.�

not a hobby and I don’t do it for fun. People just have to do whatever they do because they know it. I think it has more power because it is a mystery.” Geary remembers his first painting, which he did when he was nine years old. “The first painting I did was an oil painting—it was atrocious. I still have it. I was so excited because I’d received a set of oils, but I had no idea what I was doing or how to mix paint.” Perhaps due to his initial quandary as a child-painter, Geary, who currently teaches art full time at a middle school
in Sandy, is especially sensitive to value of positive reinforcement for kids who are learning to express themselves in the visual arts. During a workshop last Friday at Escalante Elementary, Geary says he chose to find something good about everybody’s work and in several cases he was legitimately impressed. “They were so excited,” he says. “And personally, I believe everyone can be an artist. A lot of people feel they can’t and they are also told they can’t do it. But if you have even a small amount of intelligence and hand-eye coordination and imagination you can become proficient

as an artist. Cutting students down is mean. I try to be as positive as I can with children.” Geary says he always knew he wanted to paint, and once he took some initial classes the process became a lot clearer. He eventually majored in art history at University of Washington-Seattle, and then got a Masters degree in drawing and painting at the University of Utah. He started coming to southern Utah to paint while he was getting his MA back in the 1970s. At first he came down mostly to Capitol Reef because it was closer. Then he eventually made it over to the Escalante canyons. Geary applied to for this year’s Artist in Residence program because his wife, Louise, who is also a painter, entered in the plein air festival last year told him about it. This is the second year that the festival has offered the Artistin-Residence program. And his paintings— which vary greatly in large part due to the range of media he chooses to work with— each carry an enigmatic quality which is nonetheless anchored by the weight of the rock and landscape he’s drawn to. While inspired by geology, he says the mystery of the landscape cannot be explained by geology alone. “There is more to this place than erosion, differential erosion and uplift, he says. “There is much more to it than that.” During this week’s art festival, Mr. Geary will be giving a presentation on An Artist’s Appreciation of Geology’s Influence on Art. The presentation will take place on Friday at 10 a.m at the Interagency Visitor Center. —Insider Report

Voice Your Opinions About Health Care in Garfield County Health Survey PANGUITCH - Community members in Garfield County will be receiving a survey form in their mailbox. This survey will be sent to a random sample of homes during October which will help Garfield Memorial Hospital identify the health services needed in the community. This information will be used for strategic planning, grant applications, new programs, and by community groups interested in addressing health issues. The National Rural Health Resource Center of Duluth, Minnesota is assisting Garfield Memorial Hospital in the analysis of local community needs, use of local health care services and overall community health. This process was developed to maintain quality health care to serve the continuing and future needs of the community. The community health-
care assessment process promotes health care as a local affair. Most communities face a large number of complex issues in providing high quality healthcare, but fortunately, Garfield County can engage effective problem-solving, which is the most important factor in the survival of rural health services. An accompanying goal of this process is to keep health care dollars within the local community. While the vast majority of health care can be provided locally, rural citizens often drive to large medical centers for care, spending money on health care and non-health care purchases that could be spent locally. It is estimated that within a typical rural community, millions of dollars of revenue is lost in this way. This revenue could
be retained in the local community with stronger communityhealth care provider linkages. Garfield Memorial Hospital Administrator Alberto Vasquez says “Our goal is to provide the best cost-effective primary care to the community we serve. Your support and feedback is generally needed and appreciated.” “We are pleased to be able to bring some of the best community health resources in the country to Garfield Memorial Hospital. The goal of this initiative is to assist forwardthinking rural hospitals and communities in aligning their resources, to address their present and future needs in the best way possible,” said Terry Hill, Executive Director of the National Rural Health Resource Center. —Garfield Memorial Hospital

I have traveled to Bryce Canyon City, Boulder, Henrieville, Tropic, Escalante and Antimony City Councils to present the information and answer any questions the citizens in those communities might have relating to the Voted Local Levy. I was unable to attend Hatch and Cannonville Council meetings because of scheduling conflicts with School Board meeting. I will be attending the County Commission meeting on September 23 and Panguitch City Council on September 24 to present information and answer questions. Just as a reminder, the General Obligation Bonds that were approved by the public to build new buildings over 15 years ago will be paid off in June of 2014 and June
of 2015. At that time, Garfield School District will be debt free. The District would like to continue to be debt free by asking the tax payers to approve the Voted Local Levy this November which would allow the District to keep the tax rates the same and save money for building future elementary schools. If the Local Levy passes, the District would be able to pay cash for a new elementary school in six years and continue to save this money to replace old structures without increasing taxes. By saving the money, the School District would gain interest instead of paying interest each year on the money. If the Voted Local Levy passes, it would also allow the District to receive matching money from the Utah State Office of Education each year. This would guarantee at least $55,000 each year from State tax dollars at no increase to
Garfield County residents. If money is left over in the voted local fund from the Utah Legislature, it is reallocated and distributed to Districts with voted local levies. I would strongly encourage everyone to become informed on the issue so, when you have to opportunity to cast your ballot, you will have the information needed to make best decision possible. All of the ballots will arrive in the mail in October and must be returned to the County by November 5, 2013. If you have not received the information in the mail please visit the Garfield County School District web page at: http://www.garfield.k12.ut.us/ for additional information on the Voted Local Levy. If you have questions, please call me at the District Office or contact your local School Board member. —Superintendent Ben Dalton
PHS Notebook by Donnie Corwin
Midterms? Already? The word “midterm” may be just a four-letter term that signifies the middle of a school quarter, but at Panguitch High, this one word is slowly sending shockwaves through the student body. Both the students and teachers are finding it hard to believe that we are, once again, well on our way into another school year. For the faculty, it means that the nightmares of entering the grades for the first term are just right around the corner. The students, however, share a similar fear, undoubtedly dreading the big tests and exams that are sure to come. But let’s cross those bridges when we come to them, shall we? To begin the week in an exciting and encouraging note, we had a Monday morning assembly, where both the student and teacher of the month were announced. Mrs. Breinholt was placed in charge of selecting the students of the month, and gave the honor to Max Smith for the high school candidate and Branson Marshall for the middle school
candidate for “ Helping others in the class and being good workers themselves.” The student council also got to present an award, selecting Mr. Ryan Houston as the teacher of the month, for welcoming students back to school in style. The awards are part of a goal for PHS, a “chain reaction” to make a positive difference in both the school and community. I’d say everybody walked away satisfied, with the students of the month receiving certificates and a free donut on Thursday, and Mr. Houston presented with a Mountain Dew and a Butterfinger. The assembly also gave a moment of muchdeserved attention to Mrs. Bennett and the members of FCCLA, who announced that they would have their opening social/lunch on Tuesday. Switching over to the focus of extracurricular activities, all of the PHS sports teams had important meets last week and looked to continue with their, so far, impressive seasons. Wednesday was looking especially prom-
ising, as the baseball boys faced the Mustangs in Bryce Valley winning both the Varsity and J.V. games. The Volleyball girls met up with the Milford in a home game where they defeated the Tigers in an exciting Varsity match and sadly lost the Freshman and J.V. games. Not to be outdone, the Panguitch Cross Country team looked to represent Bobcat Blue on their home turf as they hosted this week’s meet and as always represented P.H.S. exceptionally. We will wrap up the week in PHS sports with both volleyball and baseball facing off against Wayne- volleyball in Badger country and baseball here in a much anticipated home game. We also wish the volleyballers luck as they go to the Freshman tournament in Millard on Saturday. (At press time scores were not available, so a recap will be given in next week’s edition.) Donnie Corwin is a Panguitch High School senior and serves as PHS historian.
Attention Wayne School District Students and Parents Students will be dismissed from school at noon on Wednesday, October 2 for teacher professional development! Please plan accordingly. Escalante High School News Here at EHS senioritis is beginning to show. Every senior gets it, itching after four years of school for the big day, and dying to be finally graduated and on our own.

Also EHS volleyball players have been in the middle of their season competing for a winning season. On Wednesday, we will be playing Bryce Valley High Mustangs here in our very own home floor.

By Cynthia Kimball I once taught a lesson on unity. One of the lesson’s main points was how division can thwart it. Possible reasons for fostering division may include one’s gifts/talents, success, popularity, money, family name, education level, skill, looks, status, ego/pride, race, religion, etc. One may divide due to habit, insecurity, peer pressure, or from the practice being passed down from generation to generation. In my lesson, I used a rope as an lesson prop. I had all standing inside the rope. And then I said, “I need one person to step outside the rope.” One person did. “This person represents judgment,” I said. I then asked another to step out. “This person represents gossip.” I next asked one more to step-out. “This person represents someone being ignored.” In fact, any one that stood outside our “unity rope” represented many different divisions that keep unity from taking place. LDS Church leader Jeffrey R. Holland, though, has provided solutions that can help create unity: Think the best of each other, assume the good and doubt the bad. When you think the best of another person you give that person the benefit of the doubt. Unlike my experience at one workplace in which one woman, when asked about an employee said, “Yes, she is nice, but she also had problems in her last department.” In doing so, she negated the good. Plus, neither I, nor anyone else, needed to know this additional information. Stive to think the best of another. You will feel
Seek Unity, Not Division better and they will too. Next, assume the good of others and doubt the bad. Motivational speaker and writer Denis Waitey, said, “You must stick to your conviction, but be ready to abandon your assumptions.” And actor Henry Winkler, from the hit TV show Happy Days said, “Assumptions are the termites of relationships.” Unity is possible. Unity is wonderful.
Unity occurs when divisions disappears. In short, “Where there is unity there is always victory,” said writer Publilius Syrus.

The Funeral
A priest, a rabbi, a doctor and a lawyer are gathered at a mutual friend’s graveside to mourn his passing. The priest says to the others, “I think our good friend would have liked to take something with him to his next life.” He pulls a $100 bill from his wallet and drops it on the casket. The rabbi agrees, “That’s a fine idea,” and drops his own $100 bill on the casket. The doctor, not to be outdone, does the same. The lawyer murmurs, “What a wonderful thought,” as he gazes down at their friend’s casket. Whipping out his pen, he quickly writes a check for $400, drops it into the grave and takes the three $100 bills as change.

The tax adviser had just read the story of Cinderella to his four-year-old daughter for the first time. The little girl was fascinated by the story, especially the part where the pumpkin turns into a golden coach. Suddenly she piped up, “Daddy, when the pumpkin turned into a golden coach, would that be classed as income or a long-term capital gain?”

Wills, Trusts, and More How Do I Disinherit a Family Member? by Jeffery J. McKenna
Deciding who gets your assets after you die is difficult enough, but what if you want to make sure someone IS NOT included? Even though the word “disinherit” may conjure up images of family discord, there are many reasons one may wish to do it. Perhaps one of your children is a wealthy entrepreneur and another has special needs, or perhaps you are in a second marriage and want to provide for your children from a previous marriage – but not your ex-spouse. Disinheriting anyone other than members of your nuclear family is easy – just leave them out of your will. But states have special protections for spouses and children. Spouses. If you live in a community property state like Arizona and Nevada, the law assumes that your spouse automatically owns half of everything you both earned during your marriage. There are ways to define money that is yours, separate from the community property, to make sure it goes where you want when you die. However, in order to do that, both spouses must sign a written agreement that explains which assets belong to each partner separately. There are rules that may apply when attempting to separate commingled funds, that is, funds of each spouse that have been deposited into a joint account. Therefore, it is important to consult an attorney to make sure that there is no question or misunderstanding that may cause conflict when you least expect or need it. Other states give your spouse the right to claim a prescribed portion of your estate, no matter what your will provides, or even if you have
a will at all. In these cases, it is impossible to completely disinherit a spouse, unless your spouse is willing to sign a marital agreement waiving his or her right to your estate. Ex-spouses. Your exspouse has no claim to the assets of your estate, unless he or she has some claim against your estate before you die, such as a court order that has awarded a portion of a retirement benefit or pension. It would depend on how the assets were separated at the time of the divorce. Significantly, insurance policies with an exspouse inadvertently left as beneficiary take precedence over a will that leaves those same assets to another. Children. In most cases, you can disinherit a child or grandchild simply by stating so in your will. However, simply omitting to mention a child does not automatically disinherit a child. The omitted child can contest the will if you do not make your wishes clear. Most states have laws that protect against accidental disinheritance; for example, if a child was born after you drafted your will. Again, unless you specifically state that the child is disinherited, the child will be legally entitled to the same share as the other children. Disinheritance is a personal issue. One who wishes to disinherit a family member
may find that there are other effective options, such as putting assets in a trust for that heir, with a trustee making the decisions of what the money can, and can not, be used for. It is wise to consult an estate planning attorney before making decisions that affect the distribution of your estate and the harmony of your family, once you are gone. Jeffery J. McKenna is a local attorney serving clients in Utah, Arizona and Nevada. He is the former President of the Southern Utah Estate Planning Council and a shareholder at the law firm of Barney, McKenna, and Olmstead with offices in St. George and Mesquite.

Teeing off on the 12th hole at a golf resort, we stopped to buy cold drinks from the young woman driving the beverage cart. As my buddy reached for his wallet, he said to her, “You’re in great shape.

Utah Governor Gary Herbert trys his hand at the flute under the direction of Elaine Morrill at The Flute Shop in Torrey. The Governor and members of his staff made a visit to Wayne County last Wednesday.
Also assisting and attending the Governor on his Wayne County tour was his stealth security staff entourage, so thorough and secretive and intimidatingly big that even the free roaming mule deer in the apple orchards of Capitol Reef National Park were a bit skittish and were required to undergo extensive back ground checks for the Guv’s visit. After a restful night sleep at the “Snuggle Inn” in the Wayne County seat of Loa, Utah Governor Gary Herbert traveled to the famed Sunglow Café (Home of Culla Ekker’s infamous Pickle Pie) in Bicknell and called to order a breakfast meeting that consisted of Wayne County Commissioners DeRae Filmore, Rob Williams, and Newell Harward. Also at the breakfast table at the Sunglow Café were Sheriff Kurt Taylor, Wayne County Economic Director Michelle Coleman and other key Wayne County officials. A lively discussion of pertinent Wayne County issues ensued, which set a wide stage of discussions for Governor Herbert and his staff and an eventful informational eight hours of encounters with American and worldwide visitors experiencing Capitol Reef National Park and Wayne County for the first time. After breakfast at the Sunglow Café the Governors
swers to. Following the classroom tour at Wayne High a school assembly was held in the Governors honor. 2013 Student Class President Veldon Noyes wearing a sling welcomed Governor Gary Herbert to Wayne High and proudly led the audience in the pledge of allegiance. In what will surely go down in the Wayne County history books as a performance to be remembered, Carlie Chappell and her cousin Brindlee Chappell performed an American style rendition of fiddle tunes that would rival anything John Philip Souza could have ever come with. Governor Gary Herbert then took charge of the Wayne High assembly and proceeded to adamantly implore the Wayne High students and the present audience to take full responsibility for their individual future and the growth of Utah’s economy through the pursuit of continued education and innovative entrepreneurial efforts. The Governor also delved into the tough subjects of teen suicide and bullying before taking some rather well thought out questions from the Wayne High students. A visit to Signature Log Furniture in Lyman was the next stop on the Governor’s agenda where he met with the owners Phillip and Holly Clinigo. Through information
perous business for at least two years before assistance from Michelle’s office can help them apply for the RFT grant. Phillip chose to expand his business through building a new building in Lyman. Signature Log Furniture custom builds log furniture on site and provides much needed employment to local artisans. Further down the line in Torrey the Governor visited Vance and Elaine Morrill at the Flute shop. The Governor was quite interested in the flutes and Elaine obliged him by giving him a lesson on how to play the flute. To the Governor’s credit he was a quick study and puffed out a tune that was not to hard on the ears nor did it make the Morrill’s dog howl. After the flute lesson Vance took the Governor to the back room where the flutes are made and where the whole group learned about the art of making flutes and how Vance got started doing it. Upon his departure Elaine gave the Governor a complimentary flute to play in his office when things get slow on the Hill. Aaron Torey and his assistant Dax Woolsey, at the Broken Spur Steak House professionally prepared a delicious lunch for the entourage of twenty attendees that surely rivaled anything ever served at the Capital. After desert
was served Commissioner DeRae thanked the Governor for coming to Wayne County to see how the other half-lives and to get a idea of why so many people from around the world come to visit Wayne County. A quick change into something more casual and the motorcade was whizzing off to Capitol Reef National Park and Panorama Point where the Governor was sporting his new Wayne Badger ball cap. Park Superintendent Leah McGinnis and Head Park Ranger and all around good guy and excellent bongo player Scott Brown provided the Governor with a short geology description that Capitol Reef is so well know for. The petroglyphs panels were the next stop on the park informational tour followed by a short stop at the Capitol Dome where everybody got their picture taken with the Governor, even a rather surprised park visitor from Michigan got in on the act. Then it was onto the Gifford house and the apple orchards where a 6’7” tall member of the Governors staff came in quite handy plucking apples from the upper limbs of the apple trees. Back at the Gifford house everybody treated themselves to pie and ice cream and Mike Mower even got in some grocery shopping. It was very impressive to the Wayne County officials and local folks for Governor Gary Herbert to take time to visit Wayne County. The Governor was approachable and genuinely interested in everyone he met and went the extra mile to listen and learn. During his visit to Capitol Reef National Park Governor Herbert inquired of the visitors he met on the trail where they were from and why they chose to come to Utah. It was an honor for a celebrity of Governor Herbert status to come to rural Utah and Wayne County; it was a wonderful opportunity to see for ourselves all the good that there is in our County through his eyes. Among other things it is the job of Governor of Utah, as well as all civil servants, to find new ways to make things better than they were when they took office. As was well discussed Governor Herbert and his staff are interested in hearing from you on how to do just that. If you have something important enough to say, and from what I personally experienced last Wednesday here in Wayne County, if you call the big house on the hill there is a very good chance you just might get the Governor himself on the other end of the tin can. And as a bonus he just might play you an original Gary Herbert tune on his Made in Torrey Flute.

Marlene Haws we will miss your column so much. It is always fun to read what goes on in Escalante and you do such a great job but I know what it is like to pull it together each week.

It was a great time together and everyone enjoyed catching up on each other. A highlight of the reunion was when Walter Talbot 91 years old, got up and sang the school song. He wrote it a long time ago and so it was delightful to hear him sing it for the group. Walter was also known as a coach at BVHS for many years and later he went on to become the State Superintendent of Schools in Utah. It was a fun reunion and those that were able to come all had a good time. Welcome back to Chalyce Eddy and her children, Garland, Skylee, and Cooper.
They are once again living in Tropic and we are happy to have them back. A belated condolence to the Gray Family who lost their grandfather recently. Heather who works at Clarke’s and her siblings, Belinda and James. We are sorry for your loss and send our love and prayers out to you.

It is easy to find in the office of the Bryce Canyon Motel. Good luck to the new business and they invite you in to try
out their smoothies or a cup of coffee, tea, or pop. The District fourth graders enjoyed two days of learning with guest presenters.

NOTICE A Notice of Intent for the following project submitted in accordance with §R307-401-1, Utah Administrative Code (UAC), has been received for consideration by the Director, Utah Division of Air Quality: Company Name: Ticaboo Utility Improvement District Location: Ticaboo Utility Improvement District: Ticaboo Generation Facility – Highway 276, Mile Marker 27, PO Box 2140, Ticaboo, UT, Garfield County Project Description: On May 7, 2013, Ticaboo Utility Improvement District (TUID) submitted a Notice of Intent (NOI) to correctly identify the electrical generation equipment currently in operation at its existing system; located near the town of Ticaboo in Garfield County, Utah. While the site is currently permitted under existing Approval Order (AO) DAQE-AN0141380003-09 (issued September 17, 2009) and operating under Operating Permit 1700022001 (issued December 30, 2010) due to catastrophic equipment failures and disagreements between TUID and the original site operator, the current equipment located and operating at the site is not as permitted. This action seeks to correct that issue. The site will consist of two diesel-fired, internal combustion, electrical generation engines. The main engine produces approximately 671 hp; while a second larger engine, produces approximately 1,300 hp and will be used as a backup or during periods of unusually high electrical demand. Two small storage tanks will store diesel fuel for the engines. Total expected yearly emissions (potential to emit) in tons/year are as follows: PM10 = 14.1, PM2.5 (a subset of PM10) = 14.1, NOx = 48.2, SO2 = 16.3, CO = 6.1, VOC = 0.1, total HAPs = 0.1, GHG (expressed as CO2e) = 2314.7. This source is no longer a major source nor a major Title V source. The completed engineering evaluation and air quality impact analysis showed that the proposed project meets the requirements of federal air quality regulations and the State air quality rules. The Director intends to issue an AO pending a 30-day public comment period. The project proposal, estimate of the effect on local air quality and draft AO are available for public inspection and comment at the Utah Division of Air Quality, 195 North 1950 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116. Written comments received by the Division at this same address on or before October 26, 2013 will be considered in making the final decision on the approval/disapproval of the proposed project. Email comments will also be accepted at jjenks@utah.gov. If anyone so requests to the Director at the Division in writing within 15 days of publication of this notice, a hearing will be held in accordance with R307-401-7, UAC. Under Section 19-1-301.5, a person who wishes to challenge a Permit Order may only raise an issue or argument during an adjudicatory proceeding that was raised during the public comment period and was supported with sufficient information or documentation to enable the Director to fully consider the substance and significance of the issue.

Practical Money Matters
Seniors: Be Oh High Alert for Scams by Jason Alderman
curity breach. When in doubt, hang up and contact the organization yourself. Other common telemarketing scams include: • You’ve supposedly won a free prize but are asked to pay for handling, postage or taxes. By law, you never have to pay for any legitimate prize. • Get-rich-quick schemes, like those involving Nigerian princes trying to smuggle funds out of their country using your bank account in exchange for a cut of the amount. • The “Grandparent Scam,” where someone pretending to be your grandchild calls in a panic, claiming to have been arrested or injured (often abroad) and asking you to wire them money – and not tell their parents because they’re embarrassed. • Soliciting funds for fake charities, especially after natural disasters. • Companies offering seniors free medical equipment or services. After you provide your Medicare number, they forge a doctor’s signature and bill Medicare for unneeded goods or services you never actually receive. • Some particularly brazen thieves will even offer to help you recover money you’ve lost to other scammers (who are often part of the same operation). Although direct telephone
contact is common, scammers also use mailers, email, texts and advertisements to lure potential victims into contacting them for further information. A few tip-offs these offers – whatever the channel – might be bogus: • The offer sounds too good to be true. • High-pressure sales tactics – they won’t take no for an answer have sensiblesounding answers for your every question or hesitation. • You must make a decision “right now” because the offer will expire soon. • Claims that you are one of just a few people eligible for the offer. • Your credit card number is requested for verification. Never provide credit card or other personal information by phone, letter or email unless you made the initial contact. • You are urged to provide money quickly and not given time to consider the offer. • There is no risk. All investments have some risk, except for U.S. Government obligations. • They refuse to provide detailed written information. • You are asked to trust the telemarketer. Like your mother always said, “Don’t trust strangers.” The Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov) has a
Scam Alert Blog that exposes the latest scams, as well as a site where you can file a complaint if a business doesn’t make good on its promises or cheats you out of your money.

I look forward to the day when we no longer need to warn senior citizens about scams designed to separate them from their hard-earned money. I’m not holding my breath, however. According to the FBI, senior citizens make attractive targets for con artists for a variety of reasons: They’re more likely to have a nest egg, own their home and have good credit. Seniors are less likely to report fraud because they don’t know where to report it, don’t realize they’ve been scammed, or are too ashamed at having been duped – possibly fearing they won’t be trusted to manage their own finances going forward. When elderly victims do report crimes, they often make poor witnesses because of faulty memory. Seniors are more susceptible to products promising increased wealth, cognitive function, virility, physical conditioning, anti-cancer properties and so on. Here’s a roundup of common telemarketing scams targeting seniors and how you can avoid them: Be wary, even if callers appear legitimate. Caller ID “spoofers” pretending to represent your bank, credit card company or government agencies may try to trick you into revealing personal information under the pretext of fixing a se-
