BOULDER MOUNTAIN - Boulder columnist Peg Smith sent in such a lovely photo to go with her column, we could not relegate it to the middle of the paper. It serves as a reminder to all of us to get out and see the glory of this year's fall colors. Peg's column is on page 7.
Wayne County Economic Development by Adus F. dorsey II, WAyne County eConomIC development dIreCtor WAYNE COUNTY Economic Development, what is it and why do we have it? Economic development can be defined as efforts that seek to improve the economic well being and quality of life for a community by creating and/or retaining jobs and supporting or growing incomes and the tax base. Economic Development means tracking income and employment trends, essentially what works and what doesn’t and why or why not. The state of Utah and
its top elected officials feel Economic Development is very important, so important that they spend a lot of time defining possibilities and educating key individuals to find ways that will help us all make our communities and our personal lives better. As of 2017 Wayne County is showing positive signs in employment growth and has moved out of the red with a 13 job, 1.4 percent year over increase. In Wayne County, joblessness remains high, 8.0 percent in July of 2017, notably higher than
the Utah average of 3.5 percent, which is partially a result of the seasonal nature of the Wayne County economy. New construction permitting in Wayne County indicates a slight increase over 2016 numbers and gross taxable sales are experiencing robust gains. There are 2,466 square miles of total land in Wayne County, 97 percent public lands and 3 percent privately owned. Historically, agriculEcon. Development Cont'd on page 3

Wayne Crawford, Jennifer Coombs, Brad Pace, Governor Herbert, Kim McFarlane, Tim McCreary, Amanda Johns during Governor Herbert's signing ceremony for Physician Assistant Appreciation Week in Utah. SALT LAKE CITY The Utah Academy of Physician Assistants (UAPA) is pleased to announce that Governor Herbert has declared October 6 through 12 Physician Assistant Appreciation Week in Utah. The greater than 1,000 Physician Assistants (PAs) licensed in Utah continue to make a dramatic impact on the health and well being throughout the state. PAs complete a two year medical school with emphasis on primary care and practice medicine in conjunction with doctors and other members of the health care team. PAs practice through out Utah but are perhaps most noticeable in rural communities where they are of-
ten the only source of health care for entire towns. Large multispecialty clinics as well as primary care clinics commonly have PAs providing care to patients as well. It is estimated that 10% of all prescriptions are written by PAs. “I am excited that Governor Herbert has recognized the significant contribution of PAs in Utah. Many medically underserved populations in Utah are dependent on the services of PAs” says Kim Macfarlane, President of the Utah Academy of Physician Assistants. He should know, he is the sole provider in the town of Green River and routinely handles runny noses to major trauma from car accidents on nearby Interstate 70. According to Sheralee
REGIONAL WEATHER FORECAST FOR SOME BUT NOT ALL REGIONS REPRESENTED IN OUR NEWSPAPER COVERAGE AREA
Petersen, a UAPA board member, “Senator Shiozawa sponsored an update to the PA practice act this last legislative session that really updates our practice act into the electronic medical record age. This is especially helpful to PA’s currently pioneering telemedicine in Utah.” As health care continues to evolve PA’s will be at the cutting edge looking out for their patients best interests. It has been 50 years since the first class of Physician’s Assistants graduated from Duke University. The profession was created by Dr. Eugene Stead, M.D. Wayne and Garfield Counties are each served by skilled and dedicated Physician’s Assistants and I would like to recognize the PAs in Wayne and Garfield counties. —Brad Pace

Small is Beautiful!
To The Editor, As a former public school educator (administrator), I tend to pay close attention to issues that arise regarding our public schools, such as tax levies. While shopping at Royal's last week I encountered an acquaintance whose opinions I value. I asked him what he thought of the Wayne County School District’s request for a tax levy this November. His response was, "I don't like tax increases and I do not appreciate the many add-on fees the schools burden us with." Our discussion evolved to a point where I felt a need to explain to my friend why the tax levy request was a necessity for Wayne School District in maintaining quality education for our county's 440 students (approximate). Though we love the benefits of our small cozy schools, the favorable teacher/student ratios where everyone knows everyone, "small" in our current Utah system of funding public schools is a disadvantage. Public schools in Utah are funded by a formula titled the Weighted Pupil Unit (WPU), which is the basic source of funding for public education, including charter and many special needs schools and programs, and this accounts for about half of all school funding. It is paid to districts according to enrollment totals. Utah's WPU is approximately $6,500 per student. The national average is $10,667 per student, which places Utah dead last in education funding in the United States. Even Mississippi, considered a fiscally poor state, spends more to educate a child than Utah does! A comparison within Utah is helpful. Alpine School District, the state's largest, has an enrollment of approximately 76,000 students while Wayne SD had an enrollment of 432 in 2016 (according to the Wayne School District Board of Education). Due to the WPU formula Alpine has the funds to offer students an abundance of outstanding programs, such as Advanced Robotics, AP Calculus, Advanced Placement Art History, etc. Wayne County School District has no funds for such programs and must charge fees for extras. Yes! Small schools are indeed at a fiscal disadvantage; therefore I believe the resolution proposing a Voted Local Levy for our schools is a positive move benefiting our school-age children. Currently Wayne SD has one of the lowest "local tax efforts" in the entire state, but the money generated by the tax levy would result in raising approximately $64,000 and the state would add an additional $166,023 through its guarantee program. This adds up to $230,000 more for our schools. If the November vote supports the levy, it would mean approximately $12.00 additional tax on a $100,000 home. Surely improved educational benefits for our children are worth that increase. We are small; small is beautiful but that doesn't mean we give our kids less. Support the Voted Local Levy in November. I think my friend will. Respectfully yours, Ted Lovato Teasdale
You Are Invited
There are many wonderful people in Wayne County, from all types of backgrounds and with successful livelihoods in vastly different fields, who are very willing to share their experiences. This largely untapped pool of experience and knowledge is too valuable not to share with young people who are considering a direction for their future. Consequently the series of talks described in the following letter to WHS students has been put together. As mentioned at the end of that letter, community members are welcome to attend, as these talks will, I believe, be of interest to all. To Wayne County High School students: What intrigues you? What are you passionate about? What are your interests? And what do you think your options are after graduation from high school? Come listen to a free series of talks (after school first Monday each month) by people who have had a successful career or careers based on what they feel passionate about, in fields as varied as small business creation, marine biology, college teaching, solar energy, ranching, music production, etc. These talks by community members are designed to acquaint you with more job and career possibilities than you may currently envision—expand what you see as your choices for the future. Perhaps you will hear about something that you have never explored before, or get a realistic view of a field you are interested in from someone with experience in the subject. Follow-up mentoring may be available. Many people have more than one career – sometimes three or four in a lifetime—and often people work in a field other than what they study in school. It may be that specializing too early in life is not an advantage. It may be that a general education, preparing you to enter many different fields, is more desirable, or just the opposite: in the case of a professional musician early specialization is a must. Explore these and other viewpoints with people who successfully worked in a field that interested them. These one-hour talks will be in the form of an interview designed to draw out the particular challenges and joys of each speaker’s field and what it took to succeed. Some personal background at the beginning of each interview will give you a sense of the person, and there will be time for questions from you. The introductory talk on Oct. 2nd will be a different format, as I will be speaking to you about the common denominators for success in any field, based on many decades of experience as a professional musician with the Utah Symphony, and now as a writer and teacher. There will be a signup sheet outside the school offices, giving exact time and place for the first talk of the series on Monday, October 2, 2027. All community members are invited as well. Sincerely, Bonnie Mangold

Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Directly Threatened by nICole CroFt
state of Utah is vulnerable to arbitrary political favors and whims,” said Nicole Croft, Executive Director of Grand Staircase Escalante Partners, “what hope can we have for the continued stewardship of our shared public lands?” If the Trump Administration accepts Secretary Zinke’s recommendations, thousands of acres of vulnerable habitat, world-famous paleontological, archaeological and geologic resources could soon be lost to mining, drilling, and logging. Native American sacred sites, natural wonders, and places that are currently open for hunting, fishing, hiking and outdoor recreation are at risk of being permanently lost to energy extraction, mining, and private development. President Trump has the opportunity to halt the wholesale destruction of the crown jewel of America’s National Conservation Lands by rejecting these recommendations in favor of preserving this landscape and its resources for future generations. These recommendations illustrate how deeply out of touch Secretary Zinke is with the communities of the Grand Staircase-Escalante, the American people at large and the law. Local business leaders and conservation organizations like Grand Staircase-Escalante Partners were excluded
from his listening tour in May of this year, and it seems that the economic livelihood of the hundreds of businesses that surround the Grand StaircaseEscalante and depend on the National Monument are being disregarded for special interests. “The small businesses that drive the economic engine of the gateway communities represent the heart and hope of rural America, and we are very concerned for the future of these community leaders and their families,” said Croft. The Administration’s effort to sell out America’s national monuments is deeply unpopular and unAmerican. We will fight to keep every inch of the Grand Staircase-Escalante open to the public and protected for our children and grandchildren. More than 2.8 million public comments poured in during the Department of the Interior’s 60-day comment period- a record-breaking response. More than 98 percent of all comments received expressed support for maintaining or expanding national monuments. Legal scholars are in agreement: the Antiquities Act does not grant the president the authority to eliminate or significantly alter a national park or national monument. See analysis here, here, here and here - including a letter
from 121 law professors expressing deep concern with the very process through which the Trump Administration “reviewed” these national monuments. Conservative commentators (here, here, here, and here) have also noted that the President does not have the constitutional authority to revoke a national monument. Further, the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 affirmed that only Congress has the authority to modify national monuments. Secretary Zinke’s recommendations ignore the spectacular resources that were set aside for protection 21 years ago today. Over these two decades, research has only demonstrated that the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument exceeds the standards outlined in the Antiquities Act and are more than worthy of protection in perpetuity. We implore President Trump to listen to the people, and reject these disastrous and thoughtless recommendations. If they are adopted, Grand Staircase Escalante Partners intends to explore and pursue all legal options to challenge such a short sighted result. Nicole Croft is the Executive Director of the Grand Staircase Escalante Partners. She is a resident of Salt Lake City and Escalante.

The
ESCALANTE – Secretary Zinke Recommends Largest Reduction of Protected Areas in U.S. History. Secret Department of the Interior Report recommends destruction of habitat, cultural heritage sites and economic harm to local business on an unprecedented scale. September 18, 2017 marks the 21st anniversary of the proclamation of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, but instead of celebrations, we stand shocked and appalled by the aggressive and careless recommendations from Secretary Ryan Zinke for its future. In a secret report leaked to the Wall Street Journal late yesterday, Secretary Zinke recommends shrinking the national treasure, Grand Staircase-Escalante and allowing “traditional” uses like mining, logging and drilling in protected areas. It is clear that the Department of the Interior is preparing an unprecedented attack on our nation’s protected lands; never before has the United States eliminated, at such a large scale, permanent protections for national parks, wilderness areas, or national monuments. “If the Grand Staircase-Escalante, with two decades of Congressional support, extraordinary scientific discoveries, and demonstrable economic benefits to the entire

ture has played a leading economic role in Wayne County and due to advances in water conservation and improved irrigation technology producers have seen a significant rise in crop production. Presently government, construction and leisure / hospitality occupy near an equal slice of the employment pie in Wayne County, at 28 – 27 – 21 percent respectively, with education, health and social services and trade and transport, trailing in the single digits in non-farm jobs. In its broadest sense, economic development encompasses three major areas: 1) Policies that government undertakes to meet broad economic objectives such as price stability, high employment, expanded tax base, and sustainable growth. Such efforts include monetary and fiscal policies, regulation of financial institutions, trade, and tax policies. 2) Policies and programs to provide infrastructure and services such as highways, parks, affordable housing, crime prevention, drug treatment, educational programs and community projects. 3) Policies and programs explicitly directed at job creation and retention through specific efforts in business finance, marketing, neighborhood development, small business start-up and development, business retention and expansion, technology transfer, workforce training and real estate development. This third category is a primary focus of economic development in Wayne County. Wayne County’s economic vision is growth in the higher paying job market through investment in higher education, infrastructure projects and increased local product production. To accomplish this goal Wayne County will be working closely with leadership (Federal, State, County and Towns), the Wayne County Economic Development Council, local business re-
lated organizations (Wayne County Business Association) State agencies, GOED, Six County AOG, and the Community Impact Board (CIB) to develop a detailed community profile of assets in existing industries such as agriculture, travel and tourism, light manufacturing, retail and natural resource development. Goals in these areas include protecting existing industries, increasing an educated and skilled workforce, and providing locally sponsored educational programs for independent entrepreneurial opportunities. It was the announcement by Governor Herbert of the 25K Jobs Initiative that has energized rural economic development leaders and ignited a new wave of engagement and optimism in rural communities. At the 2017 Utah Rural Summit in Cedar City, Governor Herbert challenged rural leaders to identify their community problems, the hindrances to getting them solved, and craft a plan of action and in a breadbasket bring it to Salt Lake City for a grand meeting with the Governor to hammer out an "all hands on deck" approach to revitalizing economy in rural Utah. In response to that “all hands on deck” challenge, rural leaders from across the state have been submitting their ideas for a plan of action to create new jobs and strengthen struggling rural economies. The result has been a “Playbook,” conceived by Wes Curtis of Southern Utah University, which is a comprehensive list of priorities, ideas and strategies, a legislative football game plan if you will. The Governors Rural Partnership Board (GRPB) met in Salt Lake on Thursday September 7th at the World Trade Center offices to finalize ideas to be presented to the legislature and Governors office, some of which have been in the works and others are new. The following are some of the issues to be presented. 1. Income Tax Incentives 2. Entrepreneurship and Business Resource Center Support
3. Leadership and Economic Development Training 4. Information Technology Jobs and IT Pathways Training 5. Address Rural Infrastructure Needs Wayne County and the World Trade Center Representatives have reserved the October 3rd date at the Wayne Community Center to further the Governors 25K Rural Jobs initiative in Wayne County. The World Trade Center staff in conjunction with the Governors Office of Economic Development and Wayne County will provide employers with Economic Development resources, and if that isn’t enough of an incentive to show up at the Wayne Community Cent on October 3rd from noon until two there will be a “free lunch” catered by Duke and Jessica Alvey of Hanksville fame. Here's a list of service providers who will be at the October 3rd Wayne County event: • World Trade Center Utah • Department of Workforce Services • Zions Bank • EDCUtah • Governor’s Office of Economic Development • Salt Lake Chamber • USTAR • Utah Department of Agriculture and Food • AccelerantBSP • iMpactUtah • Logistic Specialties • University of Utah MEP Center • Office of Energy Development • Procurement Technical Assistance Centers • Rural Community Consultants • Small Business Development Center • United States Department of Agriculture: Rural Development • Utah Manufacturers Association Please plan to attend this important event.

Wills, Trusts, and More Special Rules Regarding Retirement Accounts
Waiting
by JeFFery J. mCKennA
Retirement accounts such as IRAs, Keoghs, 401(k) s and 403(b)s present special estate planning concerns. Many tax issues must be addressed when planning for the lifetime distribution of retirement accounts to an owner as well as the balances remaining upon an account owner’s death. The IRS has provided many rules and guidelines related to these retirement accounts both during an owner’s life and upon his or her death. Specifically, proceeds from traditional retirement accounts (generally retirement accounts other than Roth IRAs) are subject to income tax the year they are received. Therefore, account owners, and those who may inherit accounts, generally want to keep distributions to a minimum to reduce taxes provided there is not an immediate need for the assets. Many account owners reach retirement and find they do not need the assets in their retirement accounts to supplement their retirement. For many of these individuals, their desire is to defer the distribution of these proceeds and allow the assets to continue to grow tax deferred. Based on the current law, an individual can defer taking
proceeds out of most retirement accounts only up to age 70½ (there is no mandatory withdrawal for Roth IRAs). However, at age 70½, an individual must begin taking his or her required minimum distributions. These required minimum distributions are based on the life expectancy of the owner as well as the named beneficiary. The required minimum distribution rules allow the account owner to combine his or her life expectancy with the named beneficiary’s life expectancy. Often, if an individual is married, the spouse is the best choice for the beneficiary. If a spouse is named as beneficiary, the spouse can convert the retirement account to his or her own IRA. This allows the spouse to continue to defer distribution of the proceeds based on the spouse’s life expectancy. However, in situations of very large estates where the spouse would have sufficient assets without the retirement account, the children or grandchildren may be the best beneficiary choice. Naming the children or grandchildren as beneficiaries of different individual retirement accounts during the life of the account owner can al-
t H e
low for a greater “stretch” of the income tax deferral during the owner’s life and especially upon the owner’s death. This is true even though there are restrictions regarding the use of a child or grandchild’s combined life expectancy. There are many issues related to retirement accounts within an individual’s estate plan. It is very important to review decisions regarding retirement accounts when doing your estate plan.

Finally Pete invited Larry to visit him in his new apartment. "I have a wife and three children and I'd love to have you visit us." "Great. Where do you live?" "Here's the address. And there's plenty of parking behind the apartment. Park and come around to the front door, kick it open with your foot, go to the elevator and press the button with your left elbow, then enter! When you reach the sixth floor, go down the hall until you see my name on the door. Then press the doorbell with your right elbow and I'll let you in." "Good. But tell me ... what is all this business of kicking the front door open, then pressing elevator buttons with my right, then my left elbow?" "Surely, you're not coming empty-handed."

A man sees a job ad posted on a construction site, "Handy man wanted; apply within." So he does and speaks to the foreman. "Can you drive a Bobcat?" the foreman asks. "No." "Can you plaster?" "No." "Have you ever done any carpentry?" "No." "If you don't mind me asking," says the foreman, "what's so handy about you?" "Well, I only live about five minutes down the road..."

FYI PanguItch
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com We just got back from our vacation yesterday and I am still loopy and really don’t know what is going on in town, so I thought I would write about our trip. It turned out to be a really good vacation, we went to a lot of places we hadn’t seen before and there is so much of the world out there that is very fascinating and hiding away. The trip didn’t start out that great, we boarded our plane at 0845 in SLC and after everyone was seated, we were told that there was a storm in Pennsylvania and the control tower in New Jersey was having problems and we had to get off the plane for 2 hours. 3 ½ hours later we boarded the plane again and this time we took off. We got to the Newark, New Jersey airport at 6:30pm and our connecting flight was supposed to leave at 6:00 pm, but they had problems also and we finally left for Europe at 11:30 pm which would put us in Berlin at 4 pm, cutting out one day of the trip in Berlin. They also lost our luggage, which we didn’t get for four days. On the first day of our tour we went on a tour of Berlin and it was amazing how nice the city is, considering that it was wiped out in WWII. We saw the Berlin Wall and the Brandenburg Gate. There is a new memorial of the Holocaust victims, it consisted 2,711 pillars and is a Memorial to the murdered Jews in Europe. It has a list of all of the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. From Berlin we boarded our ship, this was my first cruise and it took me a while to figure out what was going on. The ship had on board
3,800 passengers and 1, 400 crew members. We cruised for 3,400 miles in 14 days. Of the 3,800 passengers only 400 of us were American and everything on the ship was Italian including the really great shows each night. The Cruise line was repositioning this ship from the Baltic seas to the Mediterranean Sea for the winter and they only do this cruise once a year. It was quite reasonable price wise. The food was great and I gained 8# during the trip. It got so we only ate two meals a day because we ate so much for breakfast. The North Sea was quite rough and we spent 44 hour at sea on our third day and I never got my sea legs, but I didn’t get sea sick. I will just tell what ports we put into and not bore you with all of the things to see in each one, you will have to do that on your own. Each place had a lot to see and it would fill up ten pages to write about each one, however except for London, Venice and Rome, we had never been to any of these places. Our first stop was in Sweden to the City of Gothenburg. From there we traveled south to a town where the World War II battle of Normandy was fought. We sailed 600 miles to the port of Vigo and the town of Galicia, it is the farthest north port of Spain. From there we dropped south to the beautiful City of Lisbon, Portugal. Then to Cartagena,
Spain. We visited Gibraltar, which has a lot to see and it is next to Spain, but the English control it. Then another day at sea to visit Shakespeare’s City Verona, Italy. From there to Rome and a tour of the Vatican, I could spend a year in Rome just looking at all of the historical sites. Finally our last stop in Venice and a ride on a gondola. Each one of these stops you could spend a week just looking at the buildings that are 2000 years old. Italy was devastated after the war and they went to the tourist trade and never looked back. Venice has 20 million visitors each
year and Rome about 30 million and with all of the cruise ships in the harbor of Verona they are also doing good. We left Venice at 10 am Friday morning and were home at 1:30 am Saturday morning. I don’t know what was happening at highway 20 and 89, a lot of cars and vans parked there. A little farther down the road we came across some bike racer and their pace cars, that was awful late for a bike race. Once I got into the Cruising mode it was really great. Don’t look back you are not going that way. Mack O.

In 2013 – Garfield School District had board meeting in Tropic (30 miles away from Panguitch). It had public hearing for tax increase. Public audience was <10 (which included system sympathetic like mother of a teacher, etc.). Board voting - Mr. Brimner voted NO. All other voted YES. I (HARSHAD) asked whether the district was in red causing tax increase and where was the details of it ? The response of main cheese was – “We are not in red. I can’t remember when we had a tax increase. I don't think we should wait until we get into red. -------------.” This was pathetic. In 2017, the board had a meeting in Escalante (65 miles away from Panguitch to increase tax rate. It passed with flying colors. This was like only one voting station in Fillmore for all Utahns to drive to Fillmore to vote. This is not about need but is about transparency + motives and abuse of authority. Reminder – Around 2009, a guy was embezzling funds (hundreds of thousands of $) and the board was sleeping at switch. It was TV-5 Who woke them and us up. The board has authority to have the board meeting in Las Vegas or Hawaii and drink at strip club. I am for 70 cents of return for every $. Are we getting a nickel for $ ? How do we know ? Forget HARSHAD (Brown in skin color, Hindu by religion, Immigrant from India, etc.). This is about you are screwed by your own. There is a unique breed of rats in Africa that can eat your flesh to bone (spraying saliva) and you can not feel until you wake up in the morning with unbearable pain. Folks! Wake up. Others are eating our lunch and we are cleaning dishes for them. Paid ($52.20) article by HARSHAD P. DESAI

No Spring Chickens These girls are no spring chickens Though brilliant and fluttery, they twirl and dip like debutantes down a staircase. One, then another, then a giddy little bundle. Rustle and flick of satiny layers, crimson and russet, saffron and daffodil. Floating, dancing to unheard beats. But look: edges, frayed, tinged. Crinkled and browning. A nip. A tuck. No time to lose. Dark sky’s the limit on this season’s dance. Tough girls, who’ve born May rage. Sun sear. Whip winds. Hauling water, managing mystery. The guests are fooled while the spotlight’s on, Set for a show with Canons cocked. And the aspen girls may giggle and shimmy. But they’ve pooled their resources for this one last, great binge. And afterwards lie packed and silent, Humming earth tones and oozing life.
September is a whirlwind, epitomized, as I write, by the 30 mph gusts smacking the house. Amidst the hum and hustle of Arts Festival activities, the community markets, wood cutting forays, and last shorts-weather hikes, there are a few upcoming civic gatherings to pay attention to: First, Boulderites, this very Thursday, Sept 28, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. you get a chance to Meet the Candidates in Boulder Community Center. Your municipal candidates for Boulder Town Mayor and two council positions will address your questions and give you a chance to get to know your candidates’ thoughts about Boulder. Second, on Tuesday, October 3, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Ruby’s Inn, Bryce Valley City, Gov. Herbert’s 25K Jobs tour event for Garfield County. Quoting from their website: “Come meet with Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox, representatives from 20+ state and local business providers, local officials, and local employers. Open
to the public and the perfect resource for anyone looking at starting a business or to find new ways to grow their current business, interested in business or land development within the county, looking for a job or anyone interested to expand their education and employment resources. … Learn about resources available to help your company; incentives, grants and other funding opportunities for your businesses; ideas to diversify and grow your business; companies that are hiring locally.” I believe they also mention a free dinner. Changing notes here: I wrote this poem (No Spring Chickens) in 2012, inspired by an early October Boulder Mountain visitation. Get out there now to enjoy the show! Color fades, leaves drop so soon.)

Marjorie S. Davies 1922 - 2017 LOS ANGELES, CA/PANGUITCH - Marjorie Strickland Davies, age 95, reunited with her loved ones on September 16, 2017 in St. George Utah. She was born on February 11, 1922 in San Jose, California to Earle and Mable Hall Strickland. She met Calvin Davies on a blind date and was later married on May 25, 1957. Cal passed away on November 5, 2009. In Marjorie’s younger years she enjoyed rock hounding, horse races, long rides in the car with Cal and visiting with friends and family. Her greatest passion was helping other people. She always put others needs before her own. Marjorie and Cal volunteered many hours to various organizations helping other people. Marjorie and Cal were both awarded a certificate of commendation for volunteering for 12 years on the council on alcoholism and drug dependency from Los Angeles City, California. Marjorie was a major contributor in the beginning of the Garfield Memorial Hospital Thrift Store in Panguitch, Utah. She and some friends decided to have a community yard sale and donate the proceeds to Garfield Memorial Hospital. Over time there efforts increased and they were able to obtain a building on Main Street in Panguitch, Utah which is now the Thrift Store. This store now brings in 20-30 thousand dollars annually that goes to the Garfield Memorial Healthcare Foundation. Funds from this store help the local community by aiding in the purchase of new medical equipment needed to keep Garfield Memorial Hospital an advanced facility. Marjorie never stopped wanting to help others out, and her compassion for others was her greatest quality. In her later years she enjoyed visiting with family and friends, talking on the phone and listening to her books. Marjorie and Cal never had any children of their own; however, their home was never empty. They cared for family and other children in need. Marjorie was known to most as having a great attitude, as being a lovely woman, as being very generous and never saying an unkind word. Marjorie was preceded in death by her husband Cal, her father and mother Earle and Mable Strickland and her brother and sister-in-law Wilbur and Kathy Strickland. Marjorie was loved by all; she was one of a kind and will be greatly missed. Marjorie had a true love for the Thrift Store and Panguitch, Utah. In lieu of a memorial service and flowers, per Marjorie’s wishes, if you would like to donate in her name to the Garfield Memorial Healthcare Foundation, please send your donations to Garfield Memorial Healthcare Foundation, PO Box 389, Panguitch, Utah 84759
