Jewish Community of Clarion Memorialized in Gunnison

Courtesy Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area

The challenges facing Jewish settlers who came to Clarion in the early 1900s with virtually no farming experience were many, and, to honor their perseverance, a memorial plaque has been installed in Gunnison's Legacy Plaza.

GUNNISON - Residents of Gunnison Valley are pleased to memorialize an almost-forgotten piece of Jewish history in Utah.

The story of the ill-fated Jewish Agricultural and Colonial Association’s agricultural colony in Clarion, five miles southwest of Gunnison, was summarized in a historic marker on Gunnison’s Legacy Plaza. The historic marker was unveiled on Friday, Sept. 25.

“The colonization of Clarion was an important part of the history of Gunnison Valley. The Clarion Legacy Kiosk, placed in Gunnison’s Legacy Plaza, will recognize that contribution and stand as a lasting tribute to the courage and determination of the Jewish people of Clarion,” said Lori Nay, former mayor of Gunnison who helped orchestrate the project.

The ceremony included original music from the Clarion Centennial Pageant of 2011

performed by Clive Romney of Utah Heritage Arts, remarks by dignitaries and refreshments.

Speakers included Gunnison Mayor, Bruce Blackham, Councilman Robert Anderson, Jerry Klinger (Jewish American Society for Historic Preservation), Monte Bona (Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area) and Dr. Robert A. Goldberg, (author of “Back to the Soil: The Jewish Farmers of Clarion, Utah, and Their World”).

In 1911, Benjamin Brown and 11 other Russian Jewish immigrants arrived in Utah as part of a national movement among Jews to return to the soil. Brown and other community leaders had purchased property from the Utah State Board of Land Commissioners after being disappointed by high land prices in New Mexico and Colorado.

At the turn of the century, the Jewish immigrant

population in New York and Philadelphia was looking for a way out of the poverty-filled tenements. Brown and others hoped a return to the land would free Jews from the poverty of the cities and allow them to be self-reliant. The Clarion colony was one of 40 that sprang up across the U.S. around that time.

Brown and association partner Isaac Herbst had purchased a 6,000-acre parcel of land with water rights for $69,000, with 10 percent down and a 10-year balance.

The 5-mile-long-by-3-milewide property was a half mile from the Sevier River and close to the expected route of the future Piute Canal.

They were led to believe that it was “choice, arable land,” but soon discovered that it was instead clay-based and difficult to cultivate. Still they moved forward, planting oats, corn, alfalfa and wheat.

Over the next five years, the colony, which they named Clarion

More immigrants arrived, and the community grew to 200 people. But the colony was doomed from the start.

Just two of the colonists had any farming experience.

The community lacked sufficient water for the crops, even when the promised Piute Canal was brought out to Clarion.

When they built a cistern to store water for livestock it col-

Despite the hardships, many of the colony’s families retained positive memories of their experiences in Clarion that have been passed along to their descendants.

lapsed because it had been improperly constructed.

The first-year crops were so meager that the community could not make its loan payment, but Brown got an extension from the state, a loan from the Gunnison Bank and $5,000 from Utah Colonization Fund bonds purchased by Salt Lake City’s Jewish population, along with $2,000 in donated lumber.

That kept the colony going, but extreme weather conditions took their toll. The colonists, who had been led to believe that the climate in Sanpete County was temperate, were surprised by heavy snowfall the first winter, subsequent heavy summer storms and runoff, and the area’s short growing season.

Neighboring Mormon farmers greeted the colonists with a welcoming dinner, and over the life of Clarion, shared harvesting and threshing chores. They shared the drought years too, but being accustomed to local conditions, the Mormons had an easier time.

In November 1915, the State Land Board foreclosed on the Jewish property and most residents were forced to leave Clarion. Most returned to the East but several remained in Utah as farmers, entrepreneurs, and merchants.

But the memories of Jewish farmers adapting to a new world, learning a new language, taking great risks and earning a new life remain miraculously intact.”

Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area Director Monte Bona said, “The Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area keeps those memories alive by establishing a memorial to the brave Jewish pioneers who gave their all in the pursuit of a Utopian dream. May that dream never die in the hearts of their descendants and all people who honor the courage, faith and hope of those who dare to do great things even when failure looms. Picking up, starting over, learning and moving on to new horizons and new experiences constitute the essence of what it took to colonize the West.”

The historic marker pays tribute to all the colonists, to their courage, strength and determination, and to their lasting impact on Gunnison Valley and Utah.

“We appreciate the hard work and leadership that the states and our federal and local partners have provided in this unprecedented planning effort,” said Nora Rasure, Regional Forester for the Intermountain Region, United States Forest Service. “It will take all of us, working together collectively and collaboratively through this continued conservation effort to achieve success.”

The Forest Service manages approximately 8% of the remaining GRSG habitat. The RODs and associated land management plan amendments are an essential component to the effort to conserve GRSG and its habitat. The Forest Service and the BLM manage nearly two-thirds of the remaining habitat, and together, the agency plans address issues of infrastructure, wildfire, grazing, recreation, commercial uses, energy and mining, among others.

Stargazing Tips

by Linton Rohr

Brilliant Utah Fireball: October 2, 2014, Revisited

I’ve spent a lot of hours outside, on a lot of nights, over many years, looking at the sky at all hours of the night.

Over those years I’ve seen hundreds, if not thousands of meteors. Some were bright and some were dim, but they’re always a joy to see. After I began collecting meteorites and learning more about them, the meteor sightings became even more enjoyable. There’s something fascinating about holding a piece of space in your hand. But as I read stories about fireball sightings, or sometimes watched online videos, I always felt a little envious. I needed to see one myself.

Finally, on October 2 of last year, my time came. It was truly amazing! I shared it with friends at the time, but I wasn’t yet writing this column. So though my words cannot do it justice, I’ll attempt to recount the experience now - on its anniversary - so that you might envision the spectacular event.

I had gotten up at 4:00 and was lying there, about to fall back to sleep, when my wife Karen started shouting “LOOK!” When I opened my eyes, the entire sky out our ample, northeast-facing windows was dazzling white! The pinon and juniper trees were lit up like it was noon. A moment later, a large, white, slow-moving fireball came into view at the top of our windows. I estimated it to be at least half the diameter of the moon and it had a long trail behind it. Karen described the tail as having an “electric blue-green tint”. It may have just looked white to me because my pupils hadn’t adjusted yet. Then it morphed into an orange fireball, with undulating flames trailing out perhaps 3 degrees (six full moon widths) behind it! A few small chunks fell from it, but for the most part, it remained intact until it cooled into dark flight, which means the atmospheric friction had slowed it down enough that it no longer glowed.

The whole show lasted about 5 or 10 magical seconds, which will remain burned into my memory forever.

I usually compare bright meteors to Venus, but this one was more like the sun! It was traveling from N/NW to E/SE and descending at about a 5 to 10 degree angle. It appeared to be right over the northern end of Capitol Reef N.P., but was probably much further away... possibly over toward Moab or even western Colorado. In fact, when I filed my report, I saw that a few people way over in central Colorado had seen it, too. A couple early morning astronomers in Salt Lake City reported seeing it heading our way.

And I did hear from a couple other local residents who also witnessed the spectacle, but would love to know if anyone in Hanksville did. Or Bluff, Blanding, and so on.

One thing that really amazes me is this: the farther away it actually was, the more massive it must have been to appear so large from here! Most ‘shooting stars’ we see are only the size of a grain of sand, or perhaps a pea, and they burn up long before they could ever reach the ground. Not this one!

It took quite a while for us to calm down enough to get back to sleep. Early in the morning, I wrote up the story and posted it to meteorite and astronomy forums. I hoped that some of my meteorite hunting friends would spring into action and start tracking it down. But another fireball in northern Arizona – visible in mid-day – was reported that afternoon, and all the attention turned to it. So somewhere out there, in the southeast corner of Utah by my reckoning, lies one or more rocks from space, waiting to be found.

Bob Cats Baseball Back on a Victory Streak The Bob Cats baseball team got back on the winning track with a couple of real big wins. On Wednesday they traveled over to Bryce Valley and beat the Mustangs 8 to 1.

The Cats on Friday went out to Wayne with a battle with the Badgers. The Cats held on to take a 6 to 5 victory. By beating the Badgers the Cats took sole possession of second place in Region 20. The Cats had one last game last night, here against Valley and if all goes well they will retain their standing. Since there isn’t any league play offs in baseball the top three teams in Region 20 go to the Quarter finals that will be held in Spanish Fork on Oct 6th, which is a Tuesday.

The Cats have 5 seniors on the team and have really done well as a team this year. The season starts early and ends way too early. We have a number of schools that are participating in football (Milford, Parowan, Diamond Ranch and Wayne) and the boys have to play two sports. The State Semi-finals will be on Oct. 9th and State will be the next day on the 10th @ TBA. The play offs will all take place in one week times, weather permitting.

Last week the Lady Cats went out to Escalante for a game and many of the younger players got into the game. Escalante only had 8 girls and a new coach and it wasn’t much of a game. Escalante will not have a girl’s basketball team this year; they just don’t have the players. The girls in Escalante that want to play can go over to BV and play on their team. Last night the Ladies went to Bryce Valley for a game and hopefully another victory. Tomorrow night Oct. 2nd the girls will be over to Piute for a fun game, it will be pink night and it always draws a big crowd. Piute is one of the teams that have as many fans as Panguitch. The Cats have one more road game against Valley on the 7th. Then finally they get a home game against Diamond Ranch the next night

the 8th. On the 9th and 10th the girls go up to the So. Sevier Tour. The Ladies will play 5 or 6 games in a 4 day span getting them ready for Region 20 tournament on Oct 23rd.

On the 14th the Cats will play host to the Wayne Badgers.

The Cross Country team ran at Piute this last week and the team keeps improving with each meet. Porter Schoppe won the middle school by about 4 blocks. Porter is an 8th grader and will get to run with his brother Jonah next year. Whittni again won her race by over 3 minutes, but the team got some real bad news MaKayla Dalton has broken a bone in her foot playing volleyball. She was

the team’s second runner and that really hurts. You are only allowed to run in so many races in the cross country season so Jonah Schoppe had to sit out the Piute meet, but the rest of the runners pick it up and the Cats again finished second to Parowan. The race this week was at Escalante today and next week will be the last race before region and it will be at Bryce Valley on the 8th. Region is at Valley on the 13th and it will be run at the golf course, which is great because it is the only course that you can watch the whole race from one spot. This should be a great race because all of the teams will be there in full force.

WCGYB Goes to Las Vegas Nationals

Pictured: Sam Crane, McKenna Brian and Sierra Blackburn denying the inbound pass against Diamond Swift.

LAS VEGAS - After their championship win, WCGYB had a three week break until they hit the last of their summer season. Knowing their last three tournaments would all be against tough, fast paced teams from around the world, the girls headed back into the gym picking back up their early 6 am practices.

The first tournament of the last three tough tournaments was the Las Vegas Nationals, heading into the tournament the coaching staff was both nervous and excited about the level of play that would be there. The girls started off against the San Fransico Cyclones. The quick California team quickly took the lead as the girls struggled to get their shots to fall and finish strong. Although they could never quite finish and pull ahead and lost the game the coaching staff was impressed with the growth and new potential the young team was showing. Courtney Jackson, a sophomore in this division, led the way with 7 points and 7 rebounds in the loss to the Cyclones. Kassidy Ellett and McKenna Brian each added 5 points and Samantha Crane added a three pointer, 4 steals, 7 rebounds, and a game high 6 blocks. (WCGYB 20 SF Cyclones 47) Even with the loss, the girls recognized their rough start and knew they could stay with these teams and deserved to be here. They went into the next game with confidence and determination. The girls matched up against the much larger Diamond Swift team, with three girls over 6 feet tall.

The girls struggled in the first five minutes to find their pace and match up with the much larger and older team, putting them down by 8. The two captains, Courtney Jackson and Kassidy Ellett, started to figure out how to break down the much larger team leading their team with quick passes, quick outside shots and a full court press. Hannah Morrill, an 8th grader in this division, and Sami Knutson, worked hard boxing out the much larger team allowing the smart, quick Samantha Crane to come in and pick up rebounds. By halftime WCGYB took the lead by 4 and traded the lead with the Swift throughout the entire second half until the last three minutes when their youth showed and they allowed fatigue to set in for a couple minutes while the Pool Cham-

pions, the Swift, took advantage of this pulling ahead by 11. The girls fought hard in the last minute but couldn't make up the gap they had created in those two minutes. Courtney Jackson led the way again with 17 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 steals. Kassidy Ellett followed with 3 three pointers to help give her 11 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds, and 2 steals. Samantha Crane added 2 more three pointers to help give her 8 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 blocks. Sierra Blackburn added 6 more points, and 2 steals. Hannah Morrill and McKenna Brian added 2 more points in the loss. (WCGYB 51 Swift 62) After the close tough loss, the girls went into their next game struggling mentally. As they matched up against the Ladyhogs, Kassidy and Courtney struggled to keep the mentality of the young team up in the first half, allowing the Ladyhogs to take a 17 point lead.

After the half the girls came out with different attitudes, working hard to close the large gap they had allowed. With less than a minute left they had pulled themselves within 4 recognizing this, the smart point guard fouled trying to slow the quick team down and sent them to free throw line for one and one. After a valiant effort the girls lost by 6. Kassidy, a sophomore, led the way with three 3 pointers giving her 11 points, 5 assists, 5 steals, and 3 defensive rebounds. Courtney followed with 10 points, 6 rebounds and 1 steal. Samantha Crane added another three pointer giving her 8 points, 4 defensive rebounds, 2 steals, 2 assists and 2 blocks. McKenna Brian added a three pointer, and Quinsee Ellett and Sami Knutson both added another two points. (WCGYB 38 Ladyhogs 43) After another tough loss, the girls started out their third game struggling, going down by 4 in the first ten minutes.

After a timeout, the girls came out with a new attitude and a full court press. They took advantage of their speed and their chemistry to take it to the Palo Alto team. Pulling ahead and adding to their lead in the second half for the win. Courtney Jackson led the young team with 15 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 steals. Kassidy followed with 3 three pointers giving her 9 points, 4 assists, 5 defensive rebounds, and 3 steals. Hannah Morrill added another 6 points, 5 rebounds,

and 1 block. Sami Knutson, daughter of Kevin and Misty Knutson, added another 6 points, and 2 rebounds. Sam Crane added another 3 pointer, 6 rebounds, and 3 blocks and McKenna Brian added 3 more points and 3 rebounds for the win. (WCGYB 45 Palo Alto 37) The girls headed into their last game taking the lead early against the much larger Prodigy team. Up by 10 points at the half the girls felt confident going into the second half.

As the frustration grew from the older larger Prodigy team, the game started to get rough.

Trying to match up with their strength the girls found themselves in foul trouble early in the second half, with Kassidy, Hannah and Sierra fouling out early in the second half and Courtney having four fouls. Without the depth that the Prodigy had and playing their two seventh graders in this division, Quinsee Ellett and Kortney Knutson, who stepped up immensely, they lost their lead and fell to the Prodigy. Courtney again led the way with 20 points, and 10 rebounds. Kassidy followed with three 3 pointers, 12 points, 6 assists, and 2 steals.

McKenna Brian added another 5 Points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists. Sam added another 3 pointer, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Hannah Morrill added another 2 points, 6 rebounds, and 1 block. Sierra Blackburn led the defensive way with 5 steals and 3 rebounds. (WCGYB 48 Prodigy 68) Although the girls were frustrated with the losses that they knew they should have won, the coaching staff came out proud of the young team and recognizing the new level of play the girls had pushed into. Knowing the last three tournaments would be filled with the best players across the world, the coaching staff knew the girls had shown that they deserved to be here, fighting it out with each team, never making excuses and learning and adjusting according to their strengths. These opportunities to learn and grow and represent this small community would not be possible without the support of our sponsors. Thank you to our sponsor of this tournament:

A-Hiking We Will Go

Last summer, my husband took me camping for the first time. At every opportunity, he passed along outdoorsurvival lore. One day we got lost hiking in the deep woods.

He tried the usual tactics to determine direction -- moss on the trees (there was none), direction of the sun (it was an overcast day), etc., etc.

Just as I was beginning to panic, he spotted a small cabin off in the distance. He pulled out his binoculars, studied the cabin, turned and led us right back to our camp. "That was terrific," I said. "How did you do it?" "Simple," he replied.

"In this part of the country all the TV satellite dishes point south."

Languages

A Swiss man, looking for directions, pulls up at a bus stop where two Americans are waiting.

"Entschuldigung, koennen Sie Deutsch sprechen?" he asks. The two Americans just stare at him.

"Excusez-moi, parlez vous Francais?" he tries. The two continue to stare.

"Parlare Italiano?" No response.

"Hablan ustedes Espanol?" Still nothing.

The Swiss guy drives off, extremely disgusted. The first American turns to the second and says, "Y'know, maybe we should learn a foreign language."

"Why?" says the other.

"That guy knew four languages, and it didn't do him any good."

The sooner you make your reservations, the better your chances will be of getting your preferred dates.

As in the past, the Fruita Group Campsite will open April 1 and close October 20.

It will be closed every Tuesday and Wednesday nights for maintenance.

Beginning with the 2016 camping season, there will be a rate Increase. The per-person rate will be $4.00, with a minimum nightly fee of $75.00.

"This modest Increase In fees will allow us to continue to protect, preserve and share the special places here at Capitol Reef for current visitors and future generations," said Capitol Reef Superintendent Leah McGinnis. "After carefully considering the impact of a fee increase on visitors and com-

munity members, we came to the conclusion that this is the right course of action to improve facilities and services important to visitors. We are thankful to the local community for providing comments and supporting this fee structure. " Only the Fruita Group Campsite will be reserved through www.recreation.gov at this time. Our regular campsites will remain first-come, first-served.

Although we will no longer be making the advanced reservations for the group site, if you have any questions, please feel free to call the fee office at 435-425-4172.

We look forward to continuing to serve your camping needs.

Dangerous Criminal

One night, a lady stumbled into the police station with a black eye. She claimed she heard a noise in her back yard and went to investigate.

The next thing she knew, she was hit in the eye and knocked out cold.

An officer was sent to her house to investigate, and he returned 1-1/2 hours later with a black eye.

"Did you get hit by the same person?" his captain asked.

"No," he replied. "I stepped on the same rake."

KNOCK-OUT Breast Cancer!

October 1, 2015

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com It is Sunday night and we are about to witness a blood moon eclipse. This is not your regular plain old eclipse; it comes with a lot of end of the world pronouncements and religious type claiming that the sky is falling. This eclipse comes with a perigee moon, when the moon’s orbit is closest to the earth, and this happens several times a year. This type of eclipse occurs about every eighteen years. I expect to be here for the next one in 2033, unless the world comes to an end, that is.

I went out of the house at 6:00 pm and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky and when I returned at 7:00 pm there were clouds in the east that blocked the moon coming up when it is at it’s reddist. However when the moon finally broke through the clouds, it was half covered, but what an awesome sight it was when it finally covered over. I don’t believe I have ever seen a full eclipse. As the moon came back into view it was really red and beautiful. At 10:15 pm the moon still has one corner to clear out. I can’t wait for the next one.

The other big news was the visit of Pope Francis to the United States. He spoke to both the whole body of Congress and the United Nations. He spoke of the damage of global warming on the

world, saying that we can’t wait till our children do something about it. Pope Francis is a very humble man and asked all to pray for him. On Sunday morning he was in Philadelphia and presenting Mass for over a million followers.

A 10 member team of search and rescue volunteers from Garfield County, were involved in the search for the young boy down in Hildale.

They were led by Sheriff Danny Perkins and had one of the search dogs and handlers with them. They covered an 8½ mile section of Short Creek. Their dog and handler had found two of the victims the day before. Sheriff Danny said that the silt was as much as eight feet deep, and there were logs and trash piles everywhere. It was a long hot day for the team, but they all made it, they are really to be commended for their efforts.

There was a flu shot day at the Drug Store last Friday and many of the Search and Rescue people were there helping out.

There is a second pneumonia shot that is available now. The first one worked on 28 strains of pneumonia and the new one works on another 13 strains.

It is highly recommended that anyone over the age of 65 get this second vaccine. Medicare will take care of the cost. It is suggested that you wait one year after getting the first shot

for the second one. This is a cost savings to Medicare, with preventive medicine; if you go to the hospital with pneumonia it will cost Medicare around $5,000 a day for your stay.

Melissa Veater has been trying for the last five years to get a Federal Grant for drug education with the students in Garfield County. It finally came and it is a 5 year grant that will help Melissa work with the schools in the district to help end the drug problem in our area. Melissa has been involved with this very worthy cause for many years, till the funding ran out. Drugs and alcohol in our area are a real a problem, even though most of us would like not to believe it, we have a prison in town where most of the inmates that are there are in for drugs or

drug-related crimes.

It is football season again and us coach potatoes are in hog heaven. Utah and BYU are having great seasons. Utah blew out Oregon (last year's runner up national champs) 62 to 13 and BYU who was in 3 heart stoppers, winning two of them in the last second, and losing to UCLA, a top 10 team, in the last minute after leading most of the game. Football is a fun game to root for when you have a favorite team.

Gas prices are continuing to fall nation wide and it is down to $2.28 a gallon, Utah is ranked 46th at $2.70. Calif. is the highest at $3.02 for 87 Octane. In So.Utah, Richfield is still the lowest at $2.59.

Enjoy the warm weather, while it lasts.

GRACE CHRISTIAN CHURCH MAIN STREET TORREY!

If you have a PC that runs Windows, you've probably heard a lot about Windows 10, the newest version of Windows. The most surprising thing about it is that it's free.

Microsoft is giving it away to anyone with a PC, laptop, or tablet that is running a genuine copy of Windows 7, 8, or 8.1.

If you have an Apple computer, an iPad, or an Android tablet, like a Kindle or Chromebook, this doesn't affect you at all.

Why is it free? Apparently, Microsoft is spending so much money supporting all of the different versions of Windows that it's cheaper for them to give away the latest version and encourage everyone to use the same version. From now on, instead of selling a new version of Windows every few years, Microsoft plans to continuously upgrade Windows 10. So, unless you buy a new computer, you might have bought your last copy of Windows.

It sounds like a good deal for consumers, and it probably is. We'll all have the latest and safest features, and because we're using the same version, it will be easier to find solutions to common problems.

But, it's a good deal for Microsoft, too. That's why they're doing it.

Do I have to upgrade?

No! The Windows 10 upgrade is optional. Microsoft has promised to support Windows 7 at least through 2020 and to support Windows 8.1 even later. So, you can keep the version you have for many more years.

Why would I upgrade?

For many people, Windows 10 is much easier to use than Windows 8.1. Windows 10 has a Start menu. It's easier to find your programs and files, and easier shut off and restart than Windows 8.1. And the upgrade to Windows 10 may not remain free forever.

There are also some nice new features, including the Microsoft Edge browser that hides ads, links, videos, and pop-ups so you can read without distraction. But, if you like the version of Windows that you have, you can skip the upgrade, at least for now.

Will the upgrade delete my files, photos, or programs?

No, the upgrade doesn't touch any of your personal data. It just changes Windows. Also, it shouldn't affect any programs that you already use, like your email program, Photoshop, or Adobe Reader. After the up-

Above: the Windows 10 icon that will appear in the lower right hand corner of your computer screen, offering you a free operating system upgrade from Windwos 7 or 8. grade, you'll find your files and programs just where they were when you started.

The upgrade does install a bunch of Windows apps, including apps for mail, sports, weather, stocks, and music.

Many people like these apps, but if you're like us and you find them annoying, you can right-click and uninstall most of them.

What if I upgrade and don't like it? You can uninstall Windows 10 and go back to your original version of Windows. But, you must uninstall within the 30 days after you upgrade. After that, the installation is permanent.

Can I get a free upgrade from Windows XP or Windows Vista? No, the free offer is only for computers running Windows 7, 8, or 8.1. You can buy Windows 10, but before you do, make sure that your computer can run it. Many older computers don't have enough memory or disk space.

How do I upgrade? If your computer is eligible for

an upgrade, a Windows icon will appear in the system tray – the icons in the bottom right corner of your screen.

To reserve a copy of Windows 10, click the icon and then click the "Reserve your free upgrade" button. Windows checks your computer to make sure that it can run Windows 10 and that you're not running any programs that don't work with Windows 10.

If your computer passes the tests, in a few days (or even a few hours) the Windows icon will flash, notifying you that it's has download the upgrade program and it's ready to run.

To start the upgrade, click the Upgrade Now button. It takes about 30 minutes to upgrade.

Enjoy Windows 10. If you have questions about Windows 10 or an earlier version of Windows, or any other general question about computers or technology, send them to us, care of The Insider.

Tabby's Tech Tips

by Ron & June Rogers

Remember that silly song “Pennies from Heaven”? If you do, put it out of your mind. If you don't, even better. Our Heavenly Father wants his children (us) to have the BEST of everything: perfect health, abundant Þnances, loving marriage and family or any other situation.

Not pennies, crumbs or chump change. It is a PROMISE, and God NEVER breaks his promises.!

USDA Commits $2.5 Million to Expand New Farmer Education PHILADELPHIA - Agriculture Deputy Secretary Krysta Harden today announced that $2.5 million in grants is now available for projects to educate new and underserved farmers about more than 20 U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency programs that can provide financial, disaster or technical assistance to the agricultural community.

The grants will be awarded to nonprofits and public higher education institutions that develop proposals to improve farmer education on topics such as financial training, value-added production, recordkeeping, property inheritance, and crop production practices.

“We want to partner with nonprofits, colleges and universities who share USDA’s priority of helping more Americans enter farming as a profession, whether they are new or underserved farmers, returning Service members, minorities, women, and urban producers or those who sell their crops locally,” said Harden.

USDA will conduct four evaluation periods to review applications, with the deadlines of Nov. 20, 2015, Jan. 22, 2015, Mar. 18, 2016, and May 27, 2016. Awards between $20,000 and $100,000 per applicant will be available. To learn more about the funding solicitation

and the related Farm Service Agency programs, details can be found at www.grants.gov with the reference number USDA-FSA-CA-2015-001. For nonprofits and public institutions of higher education that are considering participation, an online informational session will be conducted on Sept. 28, 2015. Additional information is posted on the Web at www. fsa.usda.gov/outreach.

This funding builds on historic investments made in rural America over the past six years and supports programs enacted by the 2014 Farm Bill, which achieved meaningful reform and billions of dollars in savings for the taxpayer. Since enactment, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has progressively implemented each provision of this critical legislation, including providing disaster relief to farmers and ranchers; strengthening risk management tools; expanding access to rural credit; funding critical research; establishing innovative public-private conservation partnerships; developing new markets for ruralmade products; and investing in infrastructure, housing and community facilities to help improve quality of life in rural America.

For Your Health Managing Allergic Rhinitis Allergic rhinitis occurs when the immune system overreacts to something in the environment. This immune response causes symptoms in the nose ( watery discharge, sneezing, itching, post nasal drip), the eyes (itching, redness, swelling and blueness below the eyes), and throat (soreness, itching), and may affect sleep patterns ( frequent awakenings, daytime fatique)

What Causes Allergic Rhinitis (AR)?

AR differs from the common cold or other illnesses in that it is caused by an allergen and not by a virus or infection. Common allergens include dust mites, animal dander, mold, and tree, grass, and weed pollens.

Avoiding Allergens One way to treat symptoms of AR is to avoid what causes them. Ventilation systems and frequent thorough household cleanings may help reduce indoor allergens. For outdoor allergens, try to stay indoors during periods of poor air quality.

OTC Treatments Nasal Irrigation: Rinsing out the nasal passages with saline nasal irrigations or sprays can help clear out allergens and mucus from the nose and reduce drainage to the back of the throat. This is very safe when done correctly and can be performed once or twice daily, as needed.

Intranasal Corticosteroids: These drugs are administered directly into the nose by spray and work to reduce inflammation and discomfort. They are now available OTC as Nasacort Allergy 24HR (triamcinolone) and Flonase Allergy Relief (fluticasone). Symptom improvement can be seen almost immediately, though maximal efficacy can take a few days. Discontinue use and call your doctor if symptoms do not improve within 7 days, or if new symptoms occur. Side effects are minimal and include dry nose and unpleasant smell or taste. Ask your pharmacist about the proper technique to administer intranasal medications.

Antihistamines: These products help reduce the symptoms of runny nose, itchy eyes, and itchy throat, but will not help nasal congestion. They are taken orally either once or twice daily. These products can be taken every day during allergy seasons, or as needed. Use a nondrowsy product like Allegra (fexofenadine), Claritin (loratadine), or Zyrtec (cetirizine). Side effects are mild but may include dry mouth and constipation. Do not take this medication without consulting a doctor or pharmacist if you are over 65 years old, have glaucoma, difficulty urinating, prostate enlargement, thyroid disorders, or other medical conditions.

Decongestants: Nasal and oral decongestants can alleviate congestion or stuffiness associated with AR and may work best when combined with an intranasal corticosteroid or antihistamine.

Nasal decongestants, such as Afrin (oxymetazoline), should not be used for more than 3 days due to the risk of rebound congestion. Oral decongestants, such as Sudafed (pseudoephedrine), can be taken throughout the day. However, side effects include increased heart rate, nervousness, and insomnia, so they are best taken in the morning. These drugs should not be used if you have uncontrolled hypertension, heart disease, closed-angle glaucoma, or hyperthyroidism, or are on certain medications

State History to Explore Utah’s Multicultural Past SALT LAKE CITY West Valley City, Utah is and always has been – a diverse mix of peoples and communities. Join us on Friday, Oct. 2, as State History explores Utah’s multicultural past through nearly 60presentations, documentaries and panels. This free history conference includes lunch, but an RSVP is required. The conference runs from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center (1335 West 3100 South) in West Valley City.

Dr. Pam Perlich, Director of the Demographic Research at the University of Utah’s Policy Institute, will provide the keynote address, “Utah’s Hidden Diversity: Decoding Evidence from the Census.”

“The people and communities of Utah have always been more diverse than has been represented in official government population statistics,” said Perlich. Her address will evaluate the myth that Utah has been and always will

remain predominantly Mormon, white, and young.

“Our conference theme, “Deep Roots, Many Voices: Exploring Utah’s Multicultural Past,” reflects that idea that Utah is – and always has been – a beloved home and landscape for many different peoples and communities,” said Brad Westwood, director of Utah State History.

Examples of conference topics include the Circleville Massacre of Paiutes (sadly, Utah’s largest Indian massacre), immigration in early 20th century Utah, German WWII POWs at Ft. Douglas, Latino voices in early Cache County, Jewish pioneers, Chinese railroad workers, the disability rights movement in Utah, documenting Utah’s JapaneseAmerican internment camp (the Topaz Museum), and much more.

In addition to the conference, tours to Iosepa (a community in Skull Valley founded by Pacific Islander converts to the LDS Church) and the

Topaz Museum (in Delta where over 11,000 JapaneseAmericans were imprisoned between 1942 and 1945) will be conducted on October 3rd and 10th respectively.

Details on registration, conference sessions, and tours can be found at history.utah. gov.

“Utah’s history is enriched by the study of a host of peoples, experiences, and voices,” continued Westwood.

“The histories of ethnicity, gender, work, and family, from the perspective of ordinary people, do more than pepper diversity in Utah history: they fundamentally change and enhance our understanding of the state and its past. These histories are ones of empowerment, creativity, and survival, as well as conquest, dispossession, and prejudice.”

From Strip to Chip: Everything You Need to Know About the New Generation of Payment Cards If you've received a replacement for your credit or debit cards in the mail lately, take a closer look. That little gold chip on the front is going to make it tougher for thieves to steal your data.

By year-end 2015, Visa estimates that 63 percent of cards in American wallets will feature this new technology (www.VisaChip.com) aimed at derailing counterfeit fraud.

The new chip adds a unique, one-time code that changes every time you use your card to make an in-store payment.

That automatic security code change makes your data nearly impossible to use to create a counterfeit card.

Counterfeit or "cloned" cards account for about twothirds of in-store fraud to the tune of $3 billion, according to Boston-based research firm Aite Group. The transition to chip cards is expected to be nearly complete by year-end 2017.

You'll see very slight differences in using these cards.

First, you'll need to insert a chip card into a new slot on built for chip cards and keep it there until your purchase is complete. You won't have to swipe traditional magnetic strip on the back anymore. You will still be able to sign, enter a PIN or just pay-and-go for everyday transactions as before.

Just remember to take your card with you when the transaction is complete.

However, if you are currently using an old but unexpired card or if the business

by Nathaniel Sillin where you're doing a transaction doesn't have the upgraded chip card equipment, don't panic. The strip on the back of your card will continue to work with all card terminals for the foreseeable future.

For merchants – the collective name for the stores, restaurants and other businesses where you use credit and debit cards every day – the transition to chip cards is moving along as well. According to a recent survey by Visa, approximately 90 percent of business owners are aware of chip technology and about 70 percent have already upgraded their equipment or have plans to do so. Current estimates show that 47 percent of U.S. terminals will be able to read chip cards by the end of the year.

There's one more incentive for all businesses to get on board with chip card technology: Starting October 1, liability for some counterfeit fraud may shift from the cardissuing financial institutions to retailers unless they are able to accept and process chip card transactions.

For merchants, processing chip transactions will likely involve a hardware or software upgrade somewhat similar to upgrading a cellphone contract. In many cases, the terminal will be included in the cost of the service. About a third of merchant terminals are already chip card-capable and just need a software update to fully function.

For the smallest business-

es, some low-cost options for upgrading card acceptance terminals can cost $100 or less.

Square https://squareup.com/ contactless-chip-reader, for example, recently announced a new $49 card reader that accepts chip cards as well as mobile payments and they're giving away 250,000 of them to small business customers at no cost.

If you travel overseas regularly, you've probably already seen chip card technology in action. It's based on a global standard called EMV and is already at work in countries moving to cashless options for private and public goods and services.

One final note. While you're waiting for your new chip cards, you'll still be able to use your current strip-based credit cards in new machines under their zero liability fraud protection rules. However, debit card security rules are different, so it is best to check with your bank on their guidelines so you know your funds are secure.

Bottom line: The move from strip to chip cards will create a more secure environment for credit and debit card users. However, consumers will still need to keep their cards safe and confirm the accuracy of all their spending data.
