Utah Governor Gary Herbert recently toured the completed project and posed for a photograph in front of the new traffic signal alongside officials from Bryce Canyon City, Garfield County and the National Park Service. “It’s incredible to think that Garfield County has five thousand square miles and only one stop light,” said Bryce Canyon City Mayor David Tebbs. “We are proud of how our new Main Street adds modern conveniences while keeping the feel of the historic destination.” For comparison, Garfield

All of the award winners of the Escalante Canyons Art Festival plein air competition pose for a final photo following the awards ceremony on Saturday night. ESCALANTE - The 11th Escalante Canyons Art Festival-Everett Ruess Days held in Escalante, Utah, on September 26-27 saw increases in participation across the board. Approximately 90 artists from near and as far away as Hawaii participated in the Plein Air Competition and of these, approximately a third were participating for the first time. The Speaker’s Series featured David Leland Hyde, son of renowned American wilderness photographer, Philip Hyde (1921-2006), as the keynote on Friday night. His talk, Nature
Photographer Philip Hyde and His Family Ramble the Southwest, included a few of Philip Hyde’s early photos of Escalante and Canyonlands. Vendors selling art, photography, fabric goods, ceramics, wood crafts, and food were busy with customers both Friday and Saturday. And the entertainment ranged from local talents – Brent Griffin & Ted Engberg; Bob Phillips, Eric Scott Bresselsmith, Unknown Quantity and Out on Bail with Raymond Shurtz from Boulder, UT; to those from further afar like Shiloh Rising from Salt Lake

County’s total land area of 5,208 square miles is roughly the same size as the entire state of Connecticut (5,543 square miles). “We’re still as rural as you can get,” said Mayor Tebbs, “but now pedestrians headed to Bryce Canyon can safely cross the highway at the intersection’s crosswalk.” Bryce Canyon National Park receives approximately 1.3 million visitors every year. The only way to enter the park is through Bryce Canyon City—which is why the improvements to Main Street were vital to pedestrian safety. In addition to the traffic light, the enhancements to Main Street include new sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and street lighting. The street’s new configuration will better
accommodate tour busses and shuttles and will also provide connections for regional bike and walking trail systems. “Visitors from all over the world visit Bryce Canyon,” said Garfield County Commissioner Leland Pollock. “The new Main Street affords visitors a better, safer experience as they enter one of the nation’s most beautiful national parks.” Limiting light pollution was a high priority for the project. The new light poles and fixtures along Main Street were engineered to comply with recommendations from the National Park Service. “Bryce Canyon has been classified as having one of Stoplight

G A R F I E L D / WAY N E COUNTIES - The electricity is out indefinitely and your family is hungry. What to do? What to fix? It is overcast so the solar sun isn’t an option. It has begun to rain cats and dogs – everything but food – so the fire pit is out. Too hot for a fire in the wood burning stove. Grill on the BBQ? Perfect! As long as you remembered to put propane in the bottles after all the summer family reunions. Ah, you even bought one of those nifty ovens that Camp Chef has to go on top of the burner so you can bake some rolls or pizza. Nice work. Most of us use electricity every day in meal preparation, many times without a second thought: microwave, toaster, stove top, oven, and a myriad of other appliances. What about when they aren’t an option? Years ago I read an article about an attorney whose wife and two young daughters ate wheat grass for an entire year. The fact that he is an attorney seemed significant to me since a degreed person might possess some critical thinking skills and forethought before taking on such a task. After the year they were physically fit and healthy. They decided to ease into a more traditional diet after the year for variety in food groups and flavor and texture. Critics could say they are crazy but that is a much healthier option than straight fast food that makes you sick after a few weeks as Morgan Spurlock found out in super Size Me. Besides we can’t eat at McDonald’s when the power is out anyway. So think of options.

Meet the Dixie National Forest’s New District Ranger for the Powell Ranger District
PANGUITCH - There is a new Ranger in town and his name is Paul Hancock. Paul and his wife Tabatha have recently moved with their three kids to Panguitch, UT where Paul is now the new District Ranger for the Powell Ranger District of the Dixie National Forest. Having both been raised in military families they are used to assimilating quickly to new places but are looking forward to being in southern Utah for a while. Paul and Tabatha have been married since 2008 after having met while in college. They are the proud parents of two girls and a boy, and are expecting their fourth child in January. Having lived in various places throughout the western United States, Paul grew up recreating on public lands and gained an appreciation for having access to the opportunities they afford. He has an appreciation for all outdoor activities, but is especially fond of winter sports like skiing and snowboarding and is looking forward to teaching his kids someday soon. Tabatha is fulfilling her dream to be a stay-at-home mom. The couple’s oldest daughter started kindergarten this year and has led the Hancock family to think about looking for a little bit of stabil-

Arts festival or Wilderness-fest? Working at the phone company allowed me to watch all the hard work that was put into the arts festival. Many hours were donated by a lot of people for the event. I can really appreciate all those folk's efforts. However, within the environment community here in Escalante, there are those who use the arts festival as an excuse to promote wilderness and environmental agendas--yet give the locals a guilt trip for not getting more involved. Many locals want to support the art festival but are dismayed at the blatant push towards wilderness & environmental acceptance. While these two factions will always be at odds here in Escalante, I do not believe that the Arts Festival should be anything but an arts festival, a celebration of the land we all love and an opportunity for everyone to promote Escalante. However, this year's program revived contention for a lot of the locals with the ghosts of John Muir and Aldo Leopold, both wilderness advocates, haunting the streets of Escalante--a place that does not agree with anymore Wilderness designations. Garfield county spends thousands of dollars fighting against wilderness designation! Yes there was a cowboy speaker and a cowboy singer. To me that's just a smoke screen. "Is the festival truly meant to celebrate the beautiful landscape of Escalante and promote economic growth...or ...is it a political promotion of wilderness values disguised as an arts festival?"

Look Up to the Eagles by Norman McKee
“On my honor I will do my best, to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.” Every registered Boy Scout is encouraged to learn and live the Scout Oath and Scout Law. The Oath and Law are the basis for scouting. The twelve points of the Law are: “A scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.” Most every parent or family would be thrilled to see their young sons embrace these principles in their everyday lives. As a Boy Scout progresses through the ranks of Tenderfoot, 2nd Class, 1st Class, Star, Life, and Eagle, these guiding principles are meant to become an entrenched part of their present and future lives. Attaining the Eagle Rank is the ultimate goal of nearly every active scout. It shows that he can “stick to it” and reach lofty goals in his life. Hopefully, the things he has learned and practiced in working for the Eagle Rank will become a part of his entire life. Besides the requirements to earn the previous ranks, an Eagle candidate must complete at least 21 merit badges, of which 13 on specific subjects are required. These include first aid, citizenship, personal fitness, communications, emergency preparedness, personal management, camping environmental science, swimming, cooking, hiking, and family life. The other 8 merit badges can be chosen from the remaining 120 subject areas. Merit badges are meant to connect a scout with a knowledgeable adult counselor in a subject area that is important to a successful life, a possible future employment goal, or an interesting hobby. An Eagle candidate must also serve at least 6 months in a leadership position while a Life Scout. The final requirement is to plan and give the necessary leadership for completion of an Eagle Project. The project must be something significant that is of service to others, such as a public agency, or organization. It can involve a wide variation of ideas, but must characterize genuine leadership by the Eagle Candidate. And lastly, he must attain a letter of recommendation from his ecclesiastical leader to show that he is genuine in his service to God. The Englishman Lord Baden-Powell, originally organized the scouting program in 1899, as he could see the need for more of life’s training for
his soldiers during their youth. Scouting was introduced to the United Sates in 1910. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints adopted boy scouting as the activity program for their young men’s program in 1913. It is now the largest sponsor of scouting in the U.S. Most all units in our area are sponsored by LDS Wards. However, every boy is invited and encouraged to join in the local unit and participate, regardless of religious affiliation. In our area, the Varsity Scout Team (14-15 year olds), sponsored by the Panguitch 3rd Ward, has nine boys. Eight of the boys are Eagles, and a recent new team member is currently working on his Eagle Project. Very soon, all members of this group will be Eagle Scouts. This may be unrepeated anywhere in the U.S. Thanks to the awesome scout leaders, parents and family, and especially the boys who worked so hard to reach this very unique goal! They have certainly set a high standard for many other Boy Scouts in our community and scout district. Keep it going! Robert Gates, past U.S. Defense Secretary, is the new President of the Boy Scouts of America. Many past and present leaders of our country are Eagle Scouts. Baylor University recently conducted a study that indicated Eagle Scouts are generally much more likely to be successful in life’s challenges of leadership, employment, family, and service, than those men who never had the opportunity to participate in scouting. Hopefully, every family with boys ages 8 through 18, will recognize the benefits their boys can gain by active, consistent participation in an enthusiastic scout pack, troop, team, or crew. Every boy is worth the effort! Oh yes, and look up to the Eagles as an example for living the principles of the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Norman McKee is a retired wildlife biologist with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and is a resident of Panguitch.

Italian Tourists' Car Plunges into Paria River After Bridge Collapses from Severe Flood Waters CANNONVILLE - Sussana Dursi (47 years old) and Roberto Bellocci (62 years old) from Italy were returning to their campsite at Kodachrome Basin State Park at approximately 9 p.m. on the night of Saturday, September 27. They crossed the bridge that spans the Paria River. After crossing the bridge where it meets the road the ground beneath it suddenly gave way plunging their car into the river. The ground under the black top had been eroded away due to heavy flooding. Their car was tossed and pummeled approximately 150 yards down stream where it finally came to a stop upside down in the middle of the river. They were able to escape soaking wet and covered in mud through the broken back window and climb on top of the upturned car. Shortly after another vehicle driven by Garfield County Deputy Pearson’s daughter travelling out of the same area passed over the road around the gaping hole and reported it to her father not knowing that a car had fallen into the river. Deputy Pearson quickly came to investigate and assess the
damage. As he existed his vehicle he heard faint cries for help over the noise of the rushing water. With his spotlight he was able to locate the position of the couple in the darkness. The Garfield County Search and Rescue Swift Water Team was deployed and by using a swift water craft were able to navigate to the car and rescue the couple. Both individuals suffered extreme hypothermia and were transported to Garfield Memorial Hospital where they are expected to make a full recovery. Kane County Sheriff, Lamount Smith and Garfield County Sheriff, Danny Perkins would like to thank the Garfield County Search and Rescue, the Garfield and Kane County Deputies and the Garfield and Kane County Road Crews. ―Garfield County Sheriff's Office

solar oven. They simply put it in at 10, adjusted the angle a few times during the day to optimize the solar rays and ate a tasty meal around 3. I also read about a woman who was making spaghetti sauce and didn’t want to stand at the stove stirring for an hour, heating up her kitchen. She put the pot in her solar oven and used the time to run errands. When she came back home the sauce was all simmered and ready to eat. While baking some zucchini bread in our solar oven I counted five alternate ways our family could fix food without electricity. Since then several more have come to mind, all mentioned here in this article. Nothing wrong with good ol’ tuna or peanut butter sandwiches. Stock up on some vital and easy access protein during the case lot sales or next time you have room in your grocery cart and bank account. The BeReadyUtah website recommends a three day storage of foods that do not require any preparation or electricity. This would take care of a family until the utilities are restored or in preparation for longer outages where alternative sources of heat become necessary for cooking. • Store at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food. • Select foods that require no refrigeration, preparation or cooking and little or no water. • Pack a manual can opener and eating utensils. • Avoid salty foods, as they will make you thirsty. • Choose foods your family will eat. o Ready-to-eat canned meats, fruits and vegetables o Protein or fruit bars o Dry cereal or granola o Peanut butter o Dried fruit o Nuts o Crackers o Canned juices o Non-perishable pasteurized milk o High energy foods o Vitamins o Food for infants o Comfort/stress foods Now that you’ve eaten your fill of foods that don’t require preparation, you’ve decided to start cooking without electricity. Chances are the food you want to cook is in the refrigerator or freezer. How do you know if it is safe to eat? From the USDA comes an excellent guide of what to do with those refrigerated and frozen foods until the power is restored. Always keep meat, poultry, fish, and eggs refrigerated at or below 40 ºF and frozen food at or below 0 ºF. This may be difficult when the power is out. Keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible to maintain the cold temperature. The refrigerator will keep food safely cold for about 4 hours if it is unopened. A full freezer will
Page 3 hold the temperature for approximately 48 hours (24 hours if it is half full) if the door remains closed. Obtain dry or block ice to keep your refrigerator as cold as possible if the power is going to be out for a prolonged period of time. Fifty pounds of dry ice should hold an 18-cubic foot full freezer for 2 days. Plan ahead and know where dry ice and block ice can be purchased. When your freezer is not full, keep items close togetherthis helps the food stay cold longer. Digital, dial, or instant-read food thermometers and appliance thermometers will help you know if the food is at safe temperatures. Keep appliance thermometers in the refrigerator and freezer at all times. When the power is out, an appliance thermometer will always indicate the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer no matter how long the power has been out. The refrigerator temperature should be 40 ºF or below; the freezer, 0 ºF or lower. If you’re not sure a particular food is cold enough, take its temperature with a food thermometer. Next you need something to cook the food on. Last week I bought a portable stove that fit in a 4” square box, good for 6 hours of heat with the magic heat canister included. The range of cooking options runs from this small source to the larger and very efficient volcano stove. Camping, emergency, and hardware stores offer a range to choose from. Now think of the fuels for cooking. The following recommendations are for a one month supply for three meals a day. • Wood – 150-300 lbs. depending upon type and how you are using it • Propane – 2 standard BBQ tanks, 35-40 # • Coal/Charcoal – Approximately 120 lbs. of coal • Insta-fire – About 5 gallons ( 1 cup per meal.) • Butane- About 15 8 oz. cans • Ready Fuel Gel – 120 fuel packets will boil 30 gallons of water Use caution with fuels. Follow guidelines for safety in storing and usage. (This information is from FoodStorageMadeEasy.NET) Here in Southern Utah we are able to get and store wood so that lends itself readily as a viable option. After that, personal circumstances and preferences will indicate additional alternatives. The purpose of these articles is to increase awareness, get you thinking and acting on what you need. Look at what you have, decide what resources you want for meal preparation when the power goes out, (both short term and longer), make a plan, and act on it. Next month we’ll discuss ways to keep warm when the electricity goes out. When we are prepared we can sleep when the wind blows. ―Karen Munson, Escalante Preparedness Committee

Hoofbeats News From Bryce Valley High by John Cloud
Well, it has been another week! The first sports season of the year is winding up to it's finish, as the Baseball team has recently had it's last home game, and as the Volleyball and Cross Country teams set their eyes on getting to state. Both teams have a long way to go, but no one has given up yet. The cross country team went to Escalante this week, with several of our runners moving up a place, or getting faster times, and it is expected that there will be more improvement as the team continues running. Academically, Bryce Valley is proceeding pretty much as it normally does. The Shop classes are beginning to make projects, now that the safety exams have been cleared, with welding programs being integrated into both of the shop hours, rather than just one. Our ed-net students are still pushing forward, managing to find time for their college
classes and their normal activities. One interesting element that has been accidentally introduced into the school from debate has been causing quite a stir. A public forum debate has rapidly spread to all classes, causing many (and not just the teachers either) to roll their eyes and contemplate banging their heads on a desk. Two apparently highly inflammatory topics were introduced in the debate classroom: and now select students in the school are persistently debating as too whether or not a pickle is indeed the same thing as a cucumber, and, that waffles are better than pancakes. Many students wonder how to ease the situation, but are glad that the "Can-YouDrown-a-Fish" debate has not yet resurfaced. Seniors are beginning to look for scholarships, and there are several career days planned for the Junior and senior classes. At some of these events, multiple schools will be pres-
ent for students to investigate, and get an idea of what they are looking for in a college. School is expected to get crazier, and it will be interesting to see what happens next. John Cloud is a senior at Bryce Valley High School.
Cats Have Another Great Week The Lady Cats keeps on rolling with easy wins over Milford and Valley. The Cats took out the Milford Tigers in 3 straight games in their house and the Buffalos here in Panguitch, with the same results, three straight. Last night Wayne came in to Town and I hope you were there, the Badgers always come to play and it should have been a good game. The biggie is tomorrow night up in Thunderbird territory. If it is anything like last weeks game, it will be a game you will want to see. The Panguitch fans and the Student Body students have out number the local crowds at every
away game and are lending great support for the Lady Cats. The Bobcat baseball team ran into a couple of tough games this last week. The Cats lost to the Wayne Badgers in a slug fest, 18 to 12. Down in Valley on Friday the lost to the Valley Buffaloes 7 to 4, dropped the Cats into 4th place in region 20 with 4 losses and last nights game against Piute will determine if the Cats are going to the quarter finals @ Spanish Fork. The Cats went out to Escalante for the cross country meet and had some great
performances. Catania Holman won the race quite easily, Makayla Dalton, in her second race took a strong 3rd and Brenley Veater ended up 7th. With the boys Noah Shoppe continues to improve taking a hard fought 4th place. A number of the Cats weren’t able to compete in this meet and the girls with so many of them on the volleyball team they probably won’t compete again till the region 20 meet in Valley. Both the Boys and Girls placed second, with Piute winning the Boys event and Wayne girls taking first place.

FOREST PRODUCTS Four years ago, I promised to work with the Forest Service to see if we could begin to move more dead and dying timber from the forest. Following the Lost Lake Fire, the emphasis was shifted to salvaging fire-killed timber. Unfortunately, most of the fire occurred in an inventoried roadless area and options are limited. I have taken several groups, including congressional staff from all of Utah’s delegation, to the burned area to discuss possible ways to get around restrictions tied to roadless area designation. In addition, a local working group has been formed to work on a salvage program as well as fuel reduction designed to reduce the possibility of destructive wildfire. Everyone’s efforts are paying off. Thanks to some innovative thinking and actions by the Forest Service, a timber sale area was identified, trees marked and sold. It’s the first timber sale on the North Slope of Boulder Mountain in recent memory. It’s much smaller than everyone would like due to restrictions associated with roadless areas. More needs to be done. I plan to continue working with our congressional delegation, Forest Service and local working group to continue and expand the program. Progress will be limited until the roadless area situation is resolved. I’m convinced the only way for that to occur is by congressional action and the only practical vehicle to make that happen is for a Wayne County Lands Bill to be enacted by Congress. If re-elected, it will be a priority of mine. I will outline details in future articles. In the meantime, if you have questions or would like to know more, let me know. I would be happy to talk to you.

Karmen Smith
BRYCE VALLEY - Karmen Lael Holley Smith (born September 6, 1952) passed away on September 22 from metastatic breast cancer. She was a spontaneous traveler and adventurer who made friends everywhere she went. She will be missed by many. As her wild garden attests, Karmen was a true hippie. Her lifelong love of nature began in Bryce Valley, where she grew up exploring the red rocks and canyons. She obtained a master’s degree in geography and directed BYU’s International Cinema program, which was her passion. Karmen loved film, music, gardening, traveling, and hiking. Her favorite places ranged from Zion National Park to the beaches and rainforests at La Push, Washington. She is survived by her mother, Laurie Holley Coon (Theron); her four children, Michael (Heidi), Jennifer (Shelly), Jonathan (Kylie), and Tiffany; and her three grandchildren, Marcus, Ian, and Zoë.

FYI Panguitch
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Do you feel like you have webs growing between your toes with all of this rain? We got over two inches the two days that it came down and a little bit more Sunday of badly needed water. The real good news with the freeze is that your lawn won’t grow anymore. On Friday I was out mowing our lawn when the rain hit, thinking it would drizzle for a while, I got drown, boy did it come down. Many areas throughout the State had flooding, both in the south and north. Things are still going strong out at the Bryce Canyon Park and many of our motels are putting up their no vacancy signs. Sunday is a big day for the tour buses with many of the overlooks at the canyon jammed to capacity with traffic. The temperature has also dropped out there to the thirties, really chilly, but the tourists don’t seem to mind. All will stop as usually around the 15th of October. September is the holiday season for much of Europe and do they bring big money to our area. The last day for the shuttle bus will be October 12 and the Lodge will be closing shortly after that. Many thanks to Cheryl Church and her decoration along Main St. giving the Town that Fall feeling! It is good to see so many tourists out taking pictures of our town and many
of the homes here. Prices at the gas pumps are falling below $3 in much of the U.S. Much of the north of UT is in the $3.30 range and I found the cheapest gas in the south was at COSTCO in St. George and it was $3.36 for 87 octanes. The lowest price in Garfield Co. is out at Ruby’s at $3.59. The national average is at $3.35, and with high – priced state like California, New York and Utah it would be a lot lower. Lower gas prices help the economy in many ways. It makes goods cheaper and for our area it makes traveling more affordable. It gives people more money to spend in a lot better ways. Coming up, don’t forget the big event of the fall, the annual Memorial Health Care Foundation fund raiser event on Friday, October 10 at Ebenezer’s Barn and Grill. The Bar G Wranglers will be doing the entertainment, along with a live auction, with Auctioneer Brad Silcox. Tickets are $25.00 and you have the choice of steak, salmon and chicken on the menu. The excitement starts at 6: p.m. You can get more information from Sue Barney @ 735-4103 or Lynne Neilson at 676-1262. They can make reservation for you; last year was a sell out, so call early. The Panguitch Addiction Recovery Program is held ev-
Due to heavy rains in our area a couple from Italy had to be rescued out of the Paria River when the water rose from 7csf to 7000 csf and their car drove into a hole in the bridge over the river. Their car turned on its top and the people got out and onto the bottom of their car and waited for rescue. Luckily they got rescued and are now safe although somewhat shaken up. Thank goodness for the people trained to help them and for Sheriff Deputy Clint Pierson who came to look at the bridge after a call for help. He heard the couple and spotted them with his flashlight and called the people trained to help in water rescue. We appreciate all their hard work for us in the County. For more details go to fox13now.com and search for the story. It is very scary to think anyone could have been killed during this flooding. On Saturday, October 11th, Miriam Wagstaff will be in Concert at SCERA Center for the Arts in Orem Utah. The address is 745 S. State Street in Orem. Everyone is welcome and bring your family and friends. Park in the rear and enter through the garden gate, to the south door of Gallery bldg. 101.

They raised him along with their own children and many around are very fond of him and would like to help this family out with their struggle and huge medical bills. Carl and Mary-Miller Boyd were pleased to have their former neighbors and good friends from Henderson, Kentucky, Allen and Linda Barnett and their
daughter Vallerie visit for several days. They enjoyed visits to Escalante and Kodachrome . A tour of Bryce Canyon was followed by a really good Bar G Wranglers program and dinner at Ebenezer's.

We saw Little Mermaid and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

I still like the SUU production of Joseph a few years back as my favorite but this was a close second. The scenery in Little Mermaid was exquisite and the familiar songs were just great. It is a good evening out and worth the time it takes. Our son David and his wife Debbie went with us and we really had a great time of it. Can you believe the coldness in the air today? It went clear down to 42 degrees as we came home and was raining as well. Brrr. I want the sun back and even the heat. You could see a lot of snow on some of the distant mountains and it makes us think that winter this year is going to be heavy. Oh dear. Well, we will take what we get because we are blessed to have the moisture. A spelling correction to my article last week. Iris Burr had some visitors and for some reason my fingers typed a strange name for the city they came from. Here is the correct
spelling...Robert, Joanne, and Emily Reeves of Woodland Hills, California were visiting with Arnell and Iris Burr. I guess I must have been sleeping through that or something. Sorry Iris hope this is better. A reminder to those who are interested...Every Thursday at 7:00 P.M. the Addiction Recovery Program (ARP) is still going strong. It is held in the Tropic Church in the Relief Society room and is open to all interested people. It is a 12 step program to help those with addictions of their own or who have someone in their lives with and addiction that is affecting them to find a recovery. It is not uncommon to suffer from addictions and many find that their addiction is not unique and they gain strength from others who are struggling with similar problems. ARP is an anonymous program and attendance and discussions are strictly confidential. Short article this week. Have a safe week, stay warm, and send or call your news in to me. Thanks VS.

Wills, Trusts, and More Planning for Incapacity by Jeffery J. McKenna
In doing estate planning, it is essential to plan not only for death -- but for life. Lifetime planning involves preparing for the care and management of assets in the event you become incapacitated. There are two main objectives of lifetime planning. First, it is important to plan for the effective administration of your estate upon incapacity. Second, it is important to preserve the estate if your incapacity requires professional longterm care. Effective administration of your estate during incapacity. In planning for the administration of your estate during incapacity, it is critical that certain documents be executed. All individuals engaging in estate planning should strongly consider executing a durable power of attorney. A durable power of attorney will enable someone else to manage your assets should you become unable to manage your own assets for any reason. If the power of attorney is not “durable” (which means it specifically states that it will be effective in the event of
your incapacity), it will not be effective if you become incapacitated. Preservation of your Estate During Incapacity. In addition to concerns related to how your estate will be administered during your incapacity, you must also consider expenses related to an extended period of incapacity. Medicare and private insurance do not cover longterm care (care for the basic functions of life such as eating, dressing, bathing) for extended periods. Medicaid is the government program that covers extended long-term care. Because Medicaid is a welfare program for the poor, an individual will only qualify after income and assets have been depleted. In doing lifetime planning to preserve your estate during incapacity, it is usually not advisable to deplete your estate in order to qualify for Medicaid. A more effective approach for planning for incapacity would be the purchase of long-term care insurance. Long-term care insurance greatly eases the burden of

paying for long-term care. In working with families that have long-term care insurance within their estate, I have found a much greater degree of comfort and security. 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.

tHe lAuGhiNg Duplicate Kindergar- pOiNt!! Gift
One week before Christmas, my wife and I discovered we'd each bought the same gift for each other: The Beatles' Number One CD. My wife suggested I return mine, but I suggested whoever paid the most for theirs should be the one to deal with the return. After she told me that she had paid $18.99, I said, "Well I paid only $16.99 so I guess you'll have to return yours." "How could you get me such a cheap gift?" she asked indignantly.
Carrots
At dinnertime, our threeyear-old daughter was refusing to eat her carrots. She looked at her daddy strangely when he told her that carrots make you see better in the dark. She picked up a carrot and started to press it. "No, they don't," she said. "That's what a flashlight is for. See, this doesn't light up."
ten Teacher
Grace, a five-year-old, returned from her first day in kindergarten. She waxed eloquent about her teacher. Grace's mother asked, "How old is your teacher?" Grace said, "I'm not sure. She's either an early lady or a late teenager!"
Power Failure
The minister was holding an evening service and shortly after he began his sermon, the electricity in the church failed. The ushers found candles and placed them around the sanctuary. Then the minister reentered the pulpit, shuffled his notes, and muttered, "Now, where was I?" A young boy's voice called out from the back, "Right near the end!"

The Patio
Neighbors of ours had a terrible disagreement over a patio they wanted for their backyard. The wife had rather grand ideas, while the husband wanted costs kept to a minimum. The wife won out, and the construction bill climbed higher and higher. I dropped by one day, when the patio was near completion, and was surprised to find the husband smiling from ear to ear as the workmen smoothed over the surface. I remarked how nice it was to see a grin replace the frown he had been wearing lately. "You see where they're smoothing that cement?" he replied. "I just threw my wife's credit cards in there."

SALT LAKE CITY - Kids often want to act like grownups, but experts say having children ride in cars the way mom and dad do is something that should be put off as long as possible. A new study from Safe Kids Worldwide found that the majority of parents are moving their children to seat belts before they are big enough. Kate Carr, Safe Kids president and chief executive, said that's troubling because booster seats can reduce injuries by 45 percent over seat belt use alone. "If there were to be a crash and they weren't in a booster seat but just in a regular seat belt," she said, "they could likely suffer internal abdominal injuries or face or neck injuries caused by the belt tightening during the impact of the crash." One in five parents surveyed said he or she bends the rules, particularly when carpooling, and allows children to ride without seat belts or an appropriate child safety seat. A child should be at least 4-foot-9 to ride with just a seat belt, and Carr suggested that parents make a habit out of measuring their children as they grow. "Know how tall your child is," she said, "and encourage them from an early age that, 'You'll move out of the booster seat when you hit 4 feet 9 inches tall.' And when they're 4 feet 9 inches tall, make sure they're buckled up every ride, every time - and that includes parents, too." Carr added that proper carseat installation also is critical for maximum safety. ―Troy Wilde, Utah News Connection

New Hope for Rural Areas Short on Doctors
SALT LAKE CITY - A new plan to allow multi-state licensing for physicians could help fill the gap in areas of Utah without enough healthcare services. If at least seven state legislatures agree to what's known as a multi-state compact, a licensed doctor could easily get permission to practice medicine in any of the compact states. Kevin Bohnenblust, executive director of the Wyoming State Board of Medicine, helped design the multi-state system and said the compact would be especially useful for bringing specialists from a big city to a rural area with a small number of patients. "They might only have three or four patients, but their services would be critical," he said. "What we're hoping is that, where there are underserved areas, it will give added flexibility." Details of the compact were unveiled this month, and Bohnenblust said it's already receiving interest from across the nation. Under the compact, a doctor could pay a fee and go through a fairly simple pro-
cess to get an additional license. Bohnenblust said that's much simpler than getting separate licenses to practice in multiple states, although he said doctors still would have that option. If a license under the compact was suspended in one state, he said, it would be suspended in all of them. Bohnenblust said the compact is designed to make things such as telemedicine easier to do. "We're all getting more comfortable with doing things
p et C ar
like Skyping and FaceTime," he said. "As patients become more comfortable with it, and as physicians and other healthcare professionals become more comfortable, you'll see more and more care driven that way." Experts say the shortage of doctors could grow as more people get health coverage under the Affordable Care Act. ―Troy Wilde, Utah News Connection

For Your Health Urinary Tract and Kidney Warnings on Nonprescription Products If you are one of the many Americans with urinary tract issues related to the prostate or kidneys, you may need assistance when choosing a nonprescription product, as many products carry warnings against unsupervised use in certain circumstances. Prostate Problems The prostate is a male organ that circles the urinary outflow channel leading from the bladder. As men age, a large percentage of them develop a condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia, or enlargement of the prostate. An enlarged prostate slowly restricts bladder outflow, making it difficult to urinate. Some nonprescription products can make it even harder to urinate, and the patient who takes them without reading and following the label may need to visit an emergency room to be catheterized so the bladder can be emptied. These patients should first speak to their physician so the doctor can judge whether they might be able to use such a product in their particular situation. Products of concern include nasal decongestants (e.g., pseudoephedrine, phenylephrine, naphazoline), as found in such dosage forms as tablets, oral liquids, nasal sprays, and nasal drops. Nasal decongestants are also popular ingredients in combination products for the common cold, allergic rhinitis, sinus problems, and flu symptoms. Some antihistamines are also hard on the prostate. They are found in products for the common cold and allergic rhinitis, motion sickness products, sleep aids, and some eye drops. Ingredients of concern include doxylamine, clemastine, cyclizine, meclizine, chlorpheniramine, diphenhydramine, dimenhydrinate, and pheniramine. If you do not have a physician who can be consulted, you should ask your pharmacist. Pharmacists can often suggest therapeutic alternatives that would be risk-free for those with prostate enlargement. Kidney Disease Some nonprescription products are eliminated from your body via your urine. They include some antacids (products containing magnesium and/or potassium), other stomach medications (some products containing ranitidine or famotidine), some laxatives (those containing magnesium), and certain antihistamines (loratadine, cetirizine, and fexofenadine). If your body’s ability to eliminate these medications is compromised by kidney disease, the drug levels in your blood can endanger your health. Your physician should be consulted to make a decision about possibly lowering the dose on the label so you will be safe. Once again, your pharmacist can help you with therapeutic alternatives that do not present problems with kidney disease, when they are available. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a type of pain medication that can cause kidney damage, especially if you already have kidney disease. Examples include aspirin, magnesium salicylate, ibuprofen, naproxen, and ketoprofen. It is best to avoid NSAIDs completely and speak to your physician or pharmacist about safer alternatives. Kidney Stones If you have kidney stones, you should avoid taking the OTC weight-loss product alli (due to an increase in fat malabsorption). You should also not use Oxytrol for Women, a patch product for overactive bladder in women, because it might possibly cause urinary retention. Limited Fluid Intake Due to Renal Disease Some patients have kidney damage that forces them to limit their fluid intake to prevent fluid overload. If you have this problem, you should avoid nonprescription products that must be taken with a lot of fluid so you can get them down. This includes bowel regulation products containing psyllium and methylcellulose.

Practical Money Matters
How to Pay Less for a New Car by Jason Alderman
Late last year, my wife and I were in the unenviable position of needing to shop for a new car, since the used car lease I'd assumed was about to expire. I knew it would probably have to last until my kids were well into college, so I spent a long time investigating how to get the best deal on a reliable car I would love driving. Because December – and great year-end deals – will be here before you know it, I want to share some of the strategies I learned in case you're planning to buy a new car in the next few months: The end of the year is a great time to buy. Dealerships are scrambling to meet annual sales goals that could boost manufacturer incentives and lower taxes on remaining inventory. Plus, salespeople trying to meet year-end sales quotas that trigger bigger bonuses are more likely negotiate in your favor. I did tons of research and narrowed my selection to two models – Ford Fusion and Honda Accord. I did the requisite test drives and also convinced two dealerships to let me drive cars home so I could experience their handling during a real commute. I knew that the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) or "sticker price" you
see in the showroom bears little relation to what the dealer's true costs are. A more accurate starting figure for negotiations is the dealer's invoice price. You can research invoice prices at sites like Edmunds, CarsDirect and Kelley Blue Book. Just be aware that it's generally higher than what the dealer actually pays, thanks to various manufacturer discounts and incentives that don't appear on the invoice. It also doesn't reflect consumer rebates, tax, title, license, advertising or registration fees. Next I sent a comprehensive (albeit cut-and-paste) email to local Honda and Ford dealers, explaining exactly which features I wanted and asking them to send me a price. Once I got the lowest offer, I emailed all dealers and said, "Can you beat this?" Probably the biggest challenge was getting dealers to negotiate by email rather than by phone or in person. I wanted to avoid hard sales pitches and, more importantly, I wanted written proof of their offers to present when I finally did go into the dealership. Several dealers dropped out immediately, while others came back with counter-offers on similar vehicles they had in stock. I also contacted an online car brokerage to solicit their best deal. Turns out they
couldn't beat the price I'd already negotiated; but if you don't have the time or patience for such exhaustive legwork, a broker might be worth the cost. Make sure you're being quoted the "out-the-door price." That's the purchase price minus any incentives and adding in all fees – tax, license and title can add thousands of dollars, depending on where you live. Also, pore over the sales contract carefully to make sure you're not being charged for extras you don't want. In the end, I chose the Fusion. Ford was offering several year-end customer incentives that knocked $2,000 off the invoice price, plus 0 percent financing for 60 months. (Start watching now for such factory and dealer incentives.) Ultimately, I heard from a dealership an hour away that offered me the car I wanted for an additional $1,000 less. Bottom line: Not everyone is willing to spend numerous hours researching and negotiating the best deal; but if you are, you can save thousands of dollars on a new car.
