Juvenile Charged with Manslaughter in Fremont

Escalante Canyons Art Festival Celebrates Another Great Year of Community and Artistry ESCALANTE - The 12th Escalante Canyons Art Festival-Everett Ruess Days held in Escalante, Utah, on September 18-27 continued once again to expand and adjust the programming. The festival added a junior plein air competition category, partnered with the Escalante River Watershed Project to host a “Paint the River Pack Trip”, included more demonstrations, expanded the speaker series, and adjusted the entertainment lineup with acts from far and near. Lodging in the area was sold out and some restaurants are rumored to have run out of food before closing time during the weekend. Almost 100 artists from 16 states and two outof-US countries participated in the Plein Air Competition and of these almost 50% were

participating for the first time. Art sales to buyers from as far away as Canada, Florida, and New York totaled almost $22K, which is an increase of more than 15% from 2014. The Speaker’s Series featured Hal Cannon and Teresa Jordan sharing an evening of stories and songs as the keynote program on Friday night. Vendors selling hand-made items in a full spectrum of creative forms were busy with customers both Friday and Saturday – some even sold out of their wares and got to go hiking. And the entertainment ranged from local talents – Kenny Hall from Cannonville and Jessica Frogley and Richard Woodbury from Boulder; to those from further afar like Crook and Bluff, Big Wild Wings, and Coolabibus from Salt Lake City; David and Ta-

mara Hauze from Crawford, Colorado; and No Strings from Grand Junction, Colorado. Plein Air artists could begin painting for this year’s competition on September 18 and were also able to enjoy a one-day “Paint the Town” Paint-Out event on September 23 where they were limited to painting within a two-mile radius of the center of Escalante. For the Plein Air Competition, prizes totaling more than $9000 were awarded in two categories, Oil/Acrylic and Watercolor/Mixed Media. (A comprehensive list of winners is included at the end of this article.) This year’s Best of Show winners, who each received a $1500 Purchase Award included Carol Bold from St. George for her oil painting and Manny Mellor from Lehi for his

reduction-process block print piece. The first place winner of the Paint-Out Competition was Brad Holt of Cedar City. Junior Awards were presented for the first time in two categories. The K-6th Grade Junior 1st Place Award for $50 went to Adelheide Johansen of Mt. Pleasant, and the 7th12th Grade Junior 1st Place Award for $50 went to Aspen McKnight of Escalante. During the festival, attendees were encouraged to vote for their favorite work to determine the winner of the People’s Choice Award – Mauriel Morejon of Phoenix, Arizona was the proud recipient of this $250 award. Participating artists vote for their favorite piece and Joshua Baird of Kanab

Fun Stuff, Customer Service and Great Value Define Brook's Country Boutique

Above: Brook of Brook's Country Boutique, and craft wooden pumpkins. Right: Glam heels. You never know what you'll find at Brook's Country Boutique. So it's good to check often. BICKNELL - If you are a guy, and you are about to read this article, here is our disclaimer: Enter at your own risk, because we’re going to be talking about girly stuff. As in, cute skirts and earrings. Adorable baby leggings. Cool handbags. Glam heels. Fun stuff to hang on your walls. And since winter is marching steadily toward us, boots of all kinds, including those that were ‘made for walking’.

Why are we talking about these things? Because all of this and more is available at a chic little store in Bicknell called Brook’s Country Boutique. But the part that you (as a guy) might like is that if the woman or girl in your life— say your wife, girlfriend or daughter--does amble into Brook’s Country Boutique, and she walks out with an entire bag of stuff, it won’t cost

REGIONAL WEATHER FORECAST FOR SOME BUT NOT ALL REGIONS REPRESENTED IN OUR NEWSPAPER COVERAGE AREA

THURS. OCT. 8 - WED. OCT. 14 WE'LL GET OUR SUN BACK this coming week. Partly cloudy Thursday with a high in low 70s, then sunny Friday through Monday with highs in the mid-upper 70s. Cloudy again early in the week but still warm-ish. Lows...still in the 40s. Get that garden harvested.

very much. A trip to Brook’s Country Boutique is a win-win for everybody. Brook Jeffs has been perfecting her craft of retailing clothing and décor in Wayne County for about five years, starting first with a little store in Lyman before moving to her current ‘uptown’ location on Bicknell’s Main Street,

in July of last year. Though the central focus of her store is clothing for women and juniors (girls), children and babies, there are also locallymade crafts and creative other items. Brook says she will focus on anything her customers express an interest in. Recently, she had a number of requests from local moms for boys t-shirts, so she ordered in a bunch of those. “What people don’t realize is I can get anything they want. I can even order a wedding dress, if someone wants to do that,” she said. To be fair, not every guy is put off by all of this fun-girl stuff. On a recent visit to the store, a certain Wayne County resident, who is generally known as Adus D., was found deeply immersed in contributing to the charm that is Brook’s Country Boutique. Hammering and sawing away in the workshop behind the retail clothing store, working like one of Santa’s elves, Adus D. was creating some crafty item out of wood that would eventually find a purposeful place in Brook’s scheme.

Richfield Reaper publisher Chuck Hawley and Insider publisher Erica Walz in the press room at the Richfield Reaper. This week, the Reaper is retiring their 1970s-era press and moving press operations for both newspapers to Ogden.

RICHFIELD - Beginning this week, The Richfield Reaper, which provides press services for The Insider, is retiring their Rockwell web press and moving press operations for The Reaper and other regional community papers to The Ogden StandardExaminer. Reaper publisher Chuck Hawley orchestrated the move to transfer press operations to the Ogden newspaper as a means of improving services for each of the newspapers' customers. "It's the end of an era, for sure," said Hawley, who has been with the Reaper since 1976, and says he has a great affection for the press, which has been in service since 1974. "This is a finely made, precision instrument, " he said. "They just don't make machines like this any more. " Hawley said that almost every week he would spend some time in the press room, watching with a combination of awe and interest as the machine converted rolls of newsprint and ink into the final product. The Reaper will continue every other aspect of their newspaper operations, in fact, building their capacity to generate new kinds of print products. Insider staff look forward to continue working with the Reaper to coordinate our press operations. We also look forward to working with the Ogden Standard-Examiner to conduct our printing. This is the first issue to roll off of their press. —The Insider

Dangerous Means to a Worthy Goal In the September 14 edition of The Insider, Mike Golden of the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) announced the temporary closure of Mammoth Creek while the agency deploys the use of rotenone and other chemicals to achieve the goal of restoring Bonneville Cutthroat Trout. Since 2009 residents of Boulder, UT have been resisting the use of these same chemicals-- rotenone, potassium permanganate and petroleum carriers in East Fork Boulder Creek, the water who flows through our town providing irrigation use, recreation and fishing. While many residents support the restoration of the Colorado River Cutthroat Trout in this creek, we are troubled by the means to achieving this goal. Research collected by the local group, Utah Water Guardians reveals that rotenone is connected to Parkinson’s disease and other detrimental health consequences in humans and has a devastating cascading effect in the ecological food web. Ecologists Don and Nancy Erman from UC Davis in CA (who have been studying the consequences of using rotenone in the Sierras for several decades), believe that many of the endangered or threatened species issues UDWR purports to resolve are actually due to the use of rotenone, neutralizing chemicals and chemical carriers. Utah Water Guardians is advocating for non-chemical alternatives in the reintroduction of native fish species and ultimately would like to change the current paradigm of fisheries management in the US which has relied on the ubiquitous use poisons in lakes, rivers, creeks and springs since the 1950's.

was honored with the Artist’s Choice Award and received a quarter-page ad in Plein Air Magazine. New this year was the Escalante River Award for $200 which honored the painting that best exemplified the restoration work done by the Escalante River Watershed Project along the river – this award went to Dave Treanor of Escalante. Additionally, at the award ceremony, the organizing committee recognized Bonnie Griffith, the 2015 Escalante Canyons Artist-inResidence, for her contribution to the community, public lands, and the festival during her month-long residency. This year’s Speaker Series drew solid crowds and included the following speakers and topics: • Kristina Waggoner (Project Coordinator for Grand Staircase-Escalante Partners) – Working Together for Healthy Watersheds • Alan Titus – (Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Paleontologist) – Probing the Secrets of the Kaiparowits: 15 Years of Discovery in One of North America’s Premier Dinosaur Boneyards • Lisa Louise Adams (Hawaiian Artist and Creative) – The River of Creativity • Britton Mace (Southern Utah University Professor of Experimental Psychology) – Soundscapes of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument • Jack Schmidt (Utah State University Professor of Geomorphology) – The State of the Colorado River – Opportunities and Challenges for Restoration • Teresa Jordan (Utah Writer and Artist) – The Illuminated Idea: The Quirky Marriage of Images and Words • Hal Cannon (Utah Folklorist and Musician) – Homegrown Songs of Utah and the West • Paula McNeill (Valdosta State University Professor of Art) – Featured Escalante Artists, Past and Present Demonstrations by many talented artists were popular this year. Manny Mellor showed attendees how he makes reduction process block prints; Gail Denton shared her budget-wise, DoIt-Yourself wet canvas carrier; Hai-Ou Hou demonstrated how to paint a quick plein air painting; Lisa Louise Adams did hands-on relief printmaking with festival attendees; Susan Thiele showed how she uses minimal layers to get a

painting right with watercolors; Mary Jabens shared the challenges of plein air painting; Marsha Owen showed her techniques for creating plein air watercolor paintings; Bonnie Griffith demonstrated how she uses pastel drawings to inspire her oil paintings; and Doug Braithwaite, Brad Holt and Dennis Farris hosted a three-person demonstration sharing how they each tackle plein air painting. Other treats of this year’s festival included the special exhibits. One was Escalante Resonance 2015, a student art installation by BYU’s Department of Visual Arts. It featured the creativity of student artists inspired by the people and landscapes of the Escalante area. Their artworks were assembled under the shade ramada on the Escalante Interagency Visitor Center patio. And adding a new spin to the annual Featured Artist Exhibit by presenting a large group show in the City Council Chambers highlighting the many and vari-

Brian Brill, new owner of Bicknell’s Wayne Theater, is in full swing on a full-scale interior remodel of the premises. As of this time, he is shooting for a re-opening date of around the beginning of November. The lobby will be open 6 days a week with snacks, ice cream and shakes. They will show first run movies Thurs, Fri and Sat. They will start with live music in the spring each Wednesday. Licensed psychologist Joy Morris will be opening a new private practice in Torrey, called Joy in Motion, and is open for sessions as of October 5. Joy has scheduled a community open house on Saturday, October 10 from 1:00 to 5:00PM at the Torrey Greenhouse, 200 N. 200 E. in Torrey. People are welcome to stop by, visit for a few minutes, or ask any questions you may have. Joy can be reached at 970-5601686 or at joym@scinternet.net. Escalante’s Circle D Eatery hosted their second annual September Chicago Hot Dog Eating contest fund raiser for the Garfield County Ambulance and EMTs raised $534 in support of our local emergency services. Contestant Billy Cox won for the SECOND year in a row, downing 6 hot dogs giant hot within the 12 minute time frame. Circle D Eatery will be open through the first week of November for Escalanteans to get their brisket fix before the end of the season 435826-4297. The Insider doesn’t have a “best of” contest, but every now and then good thing comes up that is worth noting. A couple of Garfield County gals went on a trip to Richfield recently and stopped through Ellett’s Texaco in Loa and decided that this gas station deserves a mention for having the most adorable bathrooms.

The question I’m asked most frequently about running the newspaper is: “Where’s your printing press?” For 20 (or so) years The Insider has been printed out of Richfield, by our friends at The Richfield Reaper. The Reaper has provided this service for many years to several of the smaller community papers in the central part of the state, the Sanpete Messenger, and Gunnison Valley Gazette, to name a couple, and it’s been a great service, especially since they also do the ad insertions and the bagging for the mail outs and deliver it to the post office in Richfield, which is just a block away from Reaper headquarters. So believe it or not, the first time I even see the actual newspaper is when it shows up in my post office box, just like you. But starting this week—and thanks to the organizing efforts of Reaper publisher Chuck Hawley—the Reaper and The Insider are moving north to be published by the Ogden Standard-Examiner. It’s a bittersweet moment because we have enjoyed working with the Reaper’s press room, (and the Reaper's press room has been in continual operation since 1888) but Chuck decided that moving press operations to Ogden will be a win both for the Reaper as well as the other papers because of the quality of service the Standard-Examiner is able to provide. What this means is that we will be able to offer less expensive color advertising to our customers, and generally provide a nicer look and feel to the paper, with color on every page. It also means our deadlines will change a little bit, to mid-day Fridays for most ads and content, as our paper will be going on the press on Monday nights, as opposed to mid-day Tuesdays. Everything else will stay the same. The Reaper will continue to coordinate our printing operations through the Ogden press, and transportation of the paper back to Richfield for processing and mail-out. For our advertisers that do ad inserts, your material will still go to the Reaper in Richfield for handling. I would like to thank Chuck Hawley at The Richfield Reaper for providing us with this opportunity, and also thank Rob and the guys in the press room at the Reaper for having been so great to work with. And to say hello to the folks at the Ogden Standard-Examiner. We look forward to working with you! —E.W.

Rangeland Restoration Projects Planned for Kane and Garfield Counties KANAB - Beginning Oct. 6, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM)-Utah, Color Country District, in conjunction with Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, and Utah Division of Forestry Fire and State Lands will begin two vegetation improvement projects on public and state lands in Kane and Garfield Counties. The project areas include 1,732 acres west of Kanab, along the Hancock Road, and 2,227 acres located west of Hatch. State and federal land managers collaborated on project design, with objectives to improve watershed conditions, increase mule deer and sage grouse habitat, and reduce hazardous fuels for community wildfire protection. Identified areas will be seeded with a mix of native grasses and forbs, followed by removal of encroaching pin-

yon and juniper trees. Projects are scheduled to be completed by March 1, 2016. “These projects are being supported and funded by Utah’s Watershed Restoration Initiative, a variety of private, state, and federal cooperators, including Mule Deer Foundation, Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife, Safari Club International, Utah Forestry Fire and State Lands, and Utah Division of Wildlife Resources,” said BLM Natural Resource Specialist Shawn Peterson. “Coordinating resources helps us treat larger areas and maximizes rangeland health benefits, which may not be realized without our partners.” While the projects are in progress, please adhere to safety signs surrounding the treatment area.

​oday at the beginning T of​63rd annual State History conference, Brad Westwood, director of the Utah Division of State History, announced Utah History's 2016 annual conference theme: "Rural Utah and Western Issues." “The history of rural Utah (beyond the I-15 Corridor) has not been appreciated or addressed in text books, or in most popular histories." Westwood stated. The official Utah state history agency, in making this announcement, is​ asking​local history groups to join in this statewide focus. State History is inviting

history buffs, scholars, students, policymakers, Indian tribes, and organizations to submit proposals for historical papers, sessions, panels, roundtables, or multimedia presentations, all to explore this theme. The conference, set annual around the end of September, will seeks to examine the historical dimensions of these issues, highlighting new, revised, or heretofore unknown histories of rural Utah and western life. More details can be found at history.utah. gov. ​Westwood Continues "Rural Utah grappling with a different set of social, economic and cultural issues, often much dif-

ferent than the Wasatch Front, ranging from health care delivery, dynamics of in-migration, rural gentrification, and the retention of rural and agricultural culture and identity. Land and resource issues—federal/public lands, scarcity of water, and energy development are among them." With this in mind, The Utah Division of State History is both calling for papers for this conference, and​ is inviting all ​Utah's historical agencies, societies, archives and organizations to ​focus​on this theme​ throughout 2016. —Utah Division of State History

PHS Notebook by Makayla Dalton

PHS and PMS Student Body Hold a Unity Activity This past week the PHS and PMS student body had a Unity activity, continuing with our Avengers theme for the year. The student council divided all the students randomly into four separate groups. The students then had to work together to complete their task first. The students had to use teamwork, listening and understanding each other, and they also had to cheer on their teammates.Meanwhile, the clock was ticking and the pressure was on to be the first team done. We as a student council saw improvement through the activity; we saw many leaders come out in our students and saw good promise of where Panguitch High is going in the future. Also here is the sports schedule for the month. For your Lady Bobcats there are only two more home games. Only semifinals and hopefully state are left for the Bobcat Baseball Team. Come out and support your teams before the seasons are over! Volleyball • October. 2 Panguitch @ Piute (Pink Game) • October. 7 Panguitch @ Valley • October.8 Home vs. Diamond Ranch • October. 9-10 Sevier Valley Tournament @ Richfield • October. 14 Home vs. Wayne (Senior Night) • October. 23 Region @ Bryce Valley Baseball • October. 6 Quarter Finals @ Spanish Fork • October. 9-10 State Baseball @ Utah Valley University Cross Country • October. 8 Bryce Valley • October. 13 Region @ Mr.Carmel Golf Course October. 21 State Cross Country @ Sugarhouse Park in SLC Makayla Dalton is a senior at Panguitch High School and serves as high school historian.

as parents, we overlook the importance of communicating with our students’ teachers. However, research conducted by the Southwest Educational Development Laboratory in 2002 found that students with involved parents, no matter what their income or background, were more likely to * Earn higher grades and test scores, and enroll in higher-level programs. * Be promoted, pass their classes and earn credits. * Attend school regularly. * Have better social skills, show improved behavior and adapt well to school. * Graduate and go on to postsecondary education. Source: https://www.sedl.org/ connections/resources/evidence.pdf (p.7) I understand each of us want the best educational experience for our children. The key to providing these opportunities to our students is through open communication with your students’ teacher(s). —Superintendent Ben Dalton

PHS Sports Sidelines by Mack Oetting

Baseball, Volleyball, Cross-Country Last Wednesday the Bob Cats home game was against Valley, the Cats came up on the short end of the score, 107. A few weeks ago they beat the Buffalos soundly 13-0 and may have been over confident for the game. This doesn’t change the final league standing even though the Cats and Wayne ended up with the same record; the Cats beat the Badgers in both of their games. The baseball season ends up this week with the quarter final game up at Spanish Fork and they played Pinnacle, a team they had beaten twice last summer. If things goes as usual it should be the three teams from Region 20, in the semi and finals up at UVU as it has been the case for many years. The semis and finals will be Oct 9th and 10th. The Lady Cats traveled up to Piute for Pink Night volleyball game. Both teams have really improved since their last meeting, but the results were the same, the Cats took all three games. These were real-

ly hard fought games and two of them were really close. As long as I have been following the Volleyball team, this is the first year that I can remember that Piute didn’t have a Gleave playing for them; all of those Gleave sisters were so good. This week the Lady Cats have their hands full, a game down at Valley was last night and a game tonight, finally at home against Diamond Ranch. This weekend 9-10 they go to the South Sevier Tour. They have 3 games on Friday and 3 more on Saturday and then they go the championship round. The Cats will play a minimum 9 games in 4 days. The Bob Cats cross country team went over to Escalante for a meet and they are getting some competition, this year. With many of the runners not able to run because of one reason or another the boys came in 2nd again, with Jonah Schoppe again taking 1st and Stowe taking 2nd, these two have been finishing this way all season long. The girls took

3rd behind Bryce Valley and Wayne. Next week the race will be at Bryce Valley and because with all of the extra races this year, the runners can only race in 8 races, so it will be interesting as to who will show up for this race. Next Tuesday (Oct 13) will be the Region 20 championship down at Valley’s Mt Carmel golf course, this is the best place to see a cross country race any where. The races will begin at 4.pm because the girls and boys races will be separate. Region determines which teams will go to state and each team that qualifies will send 7 runners and the top 5 will be the scorers, unless there is a tie, and then the sixth runner who comes in first, team will win. This happened 5 years ago when the Lady Cats and St. Joseph tied and our 6th place runner determined the race out come. This was the first of the Lady Cats 4 straight championships.

Loa Elementary Named as Reward School by USOE The Utah State Office of Education has identified Title I Priority, Focus, and Reward Schools for the 2015-2016 School Year. These determinations were made in accordance with the accountability provisions under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) Flexibility Waiver approved by the U.S. Department of Education. The Title I accountability system for Utah utilizes results from the State Federal Accountability Reporting System (SFAR) to identify both low-performing and high-performing Title I schools. The two-year averages for the 2014 and 2015 SAGE results were used to make these determinations.

For the 2015-2016 School year, 326 schools in Utah receive Title I funds. Reward Schools Under the approved ESEA Flexibility Waiver, Utah is to identify its Title I Reward Schools. The USOE reviewed the State Federal Accountability Reporting System (SFAR) scores to identify those Title I schools that achieved the highest levels of student proficiency and those that achieved high levels of student growth.

Wills, Trusts, and More Personal Representatives by Jeffery J. McKenna

A personal representative is the person named in a Will to handle the Will-writer's property after death. The personal representative is in charge of winding up the deceased person's financial affairs. That means taking care of property, paying bills and taxes, and seeing that assets are transferred to their new rightful owners. If probate court proceedings are required, as they often are, the personal representative must handle them or hire a lawyer to do so. A personal representative doesn't need special financial or legal knowledge. Common sense, conscientiousness and honesty are the main requirements. A personal representative who needs help can hire lawyers, accountants or other experts and pay them from the assets of the estate. The person you choose should be honest, with good organizational skills and the ability to keep track of details Many people select someone who will inherit a substantial amount of their property. This makes sense because such a person is likely to do a conscientious job

of managing your affairs after your death. He or she may also have knowledge of where your records are kept and an understanding of why you want your property left as you have directed. Whomever you select, make sure the person is willing to do the job. It is a good idea to discuss the position with the person you've chosen, before you make your Will. When it comes time, a personal representative can accept or decline the responsibility. Someone who agrees to serve can resign at any time. For this reason, many Wills name an alternate personal representative, otherwise a court can appoint one. The main reason for serving as a personal representative is to honor the deceased person's request, but the personal representative is also entitled to payment. The exact amount is regulated can be affected by factors such as the value of the deceased person's property and what the probate court decides is reasonable. Often, close relatives and friends (especially those who are inheriting part of the estate) don't charge the estate for their services.

Attorney Jeff McKenna hiking with his son in Zion National Park.

Your personal representative will usually hire an attorney to assist with the legal documents needed for the estate administration. The personal representative should choose a lawyer that is capable of explaining the estate administration process. A lawyer may charge by the hour ($150$200 is common), charge a lump sum, or charge a certain percentage of the gross value of the deceased person's estate. The lawyer’s fee is paid from the assets of the estate. The lawyer should relieve the personal representative of the responsibility of personally handling all the details and should help protect the personal representative from any liabilities associated with serving as personal representative.

tHe lAuGhiNg Old pOiNt!! Apartment

I had just moved from an apartment to a house in the same small town. One day at the grocery store, I used the last of my personalized checks bearing my old address. The cashier examined the document and asked if everything on it was correct. I assured her that it was, and she started to put the check in the cash drawer. But then she inquired again if everything was accurate. "Why do you ask?" I responded. "Because," she replied, "my husband and I moved to this apartment yesterday, and I don't remember seeing you at breakfast."

The Notice

During a recent business trip to Boeing's Everett, Washington, factory, I noticed several 747 and 777 airliners being assembled. Before the engines were installed, huge weights were hung from the wings to keep the planes balanced. The solid-steel weights were bright yellow and marked, "14,000 lbs." But what I found particularly interesting was some stenciling I discovered on the side of each weight. Imprinted there was the warning: "Remove before flight."

The New Cook

The newly-married husband came home from the office to find his young wife in floods of tears. "Darling, whatever is the matter?" he asks. "Sweetheart," she sobs, "the most terrible thing has happened! I cooked my very first Beef Bourguignon for you, and I got it out the oven to season it, and the phone rang. When I came back from answering the phone," she sobbed again, "I found that the cat had eaten it!" "Don't worry, darling," said her husband. "Don't cry. We'll get a new cat in the morning..."

A Paradigm

"I'm the greatest batter in the world," said the proud boy as he tossed the ball into the air and swung his bat. He missed. Undaunted, he threw the ball up again and said, "I'm the greatest batter ever!" He missed again. He looked at his ball then his bat. Once more he tossed the ball up into the air. "I'm the greatest batter who ever lived!" He swung hard and missed. "Wow!" he exclaimed. "And I'm an even better pitcher!"

Pain

This guy goes to the doctor and says, "Doc, I ache all over. Everywhere I touch it hurts." The doctor says, "OK. Touch your elbow." The guy touches his elbow and winces in genuine pain. The doctor, surprised, says "Touch your head." The guy touches his head and jumps in agony. The doctor asks him to touch his knee and the same thing happens. Everywhere the guy touches he hurts like hell. The doctor is stumped and orders a complete examination with Xrays, etc. and tells the guy to come back in two days. Two days later the guy comes back and the doctor says "We've found your problem." "Oh yeah? What is it?" "You've broken your finger!"

OBITUARIES

Sarajane Elizabeth Cebula May 30, 1924 - Sept. 12, 2015

NEHALEM, OR - Sarajane Cebula, 91, died September 12, in her home at Nehalem Bay House, Nehalem, Oregon. Sarajane was born in Detroit, MI to Henry and Jane Rissi. She was the oldest of five children, growing up during the Great Depression. She married Joseph A. Cebula in 1946 and moved to Gardena, California. Although Sarajane worked as a secretary and office manager during and after the war years, her greatest calling was motherhood. She had five children and enjoyed being a full time “mom”. Longtime resident of Fort Bragg, California (1976-2009), Sarajane was an active parishioner at Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic Church, an award winning volunteer with the Sherwood Oaks Auxiliary, and a member of the Mendocino Coast Doll Club. After moving in 2009 to Nehalem, Oregon, she continued to sing with the choir at St. Peter the Fisherman's Catholic Church in Arch Cape. Sarajane enjoyed celebrating holidays and was happiest when she was hosting family and friends in her home. She was an exceptional letter writer who maintained an extensive correspondence with friends and family. She was an avid doll collector who enjoyed playing Scrabble and caring for her talkative Siamese, Sassy Cat. Sarajane was admired for her kindness, generosity, and spiritual faith. She will be missed greatly by her loved ones and those who knew her. Sarajane was preceded in death by her beloved husband and parents. She is survived by her children Carol (Jeff) Kracht of Escalante, UT, Janemarie Singer of Ocean View, HI, Susan Tone (Phil Blanton) of Nehalem, OR, Alison Cebula (Adam Hutchins) of Fort Bragg, CA, Joseph H. Cebula (Jeff Anderson) of Tamworth, NH; siblings Henry, Alice, Isabel, and Robert; grandchildren Lisette, Emily, and Bryan; and great-grandchild Naomi. A private graveside blessing was attended by family on September 19 at Rose Memorial Park in Fort Bragg, CA. A memorial will take place in Fort Bragg at a future date.

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Fall has finally gotten here and the colors are beautiful; however because the weather has been so warm and with so little moisture I don’t believe that autumn is going to last too long. The warm weather is wonderful but it really has its down side. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast Cancer has affected almost everyone in our area, either by a family member or someone you know. This is especially true with women that were born in our area, with the down winder effect. Great strides have come about in finding cancer cells in the body. Using a business card size device and a teaspoon of blood doctors and researchers can now detect a single cancer cell out of a billion normal blood cells. Mammograms can be obtained here at the Hospital thanks to the portable mammogram truck, call the hospital for an appointment. After the age of 50 you should get an mammogram exam once a year. Breast Cancer can hit you at all ages so just because you are in your 70’s or 80’s don’t think you won’t have trouble. Next Thursday the 15th is the 2015 great flu shoot-out, at the Panguitch Fire Station. It will run from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. Flu shots are $20.00 and $25.00 for nasal spray. All of the insurance companies will gladly pay for these shots. While you are there ask about the new pneumo-

Alfonzo Turner

nia shot, it covers 13 strains of the disease. Those of you over 65 Medicare will gladly pay for the shot. A day's stay in any hospital for pneumonia will run you about 5 grand, so the shots no matter the cost are preventive medicine and well worth it. The shuttle buses at Bryce Canyon have been shut down for the winter. It has been a real busy year out at the Bryce Canyon Park, with their attendance up about 40%. Finally some of the people are getting the message and are riding the buses. The rider ship for the buses was up almost 200% and the drivers responded really well to all of the crowds. While driving one of the shuttles all summer, I watched as the bike trail was being built and it is almost complete. I told my granddaughter Teah about it and asked her while she was here that I would like to ride the trail. We started up at Inspiration Point and rode all the way down to the bottom of Red Canyon, all 22 miles of it. There were a few spots in the Canyon where we had to get off the bikes and walk around the detours, but 99% of the trail is finished. The trail inside of the Canyon is unbelievable, you are completely away from the crowds and it is really serene, going through the trees. I believe that we might have been the first to ride all the way down the trail, however on a difficulty scale of 1 to 10, the effort is really

only about a 2, because there was wind, it might not have been that hard. Inside to the park it’s almost all down hill, with only the general store and the entrance having any up hill to it. The only place that required any effort was from the turn off at Highway 12 and the Pines and that may have been because of the wind. From the Pines there is rolling hills that you can pick up speed on to carry you over the next hill. From the top of Red Canyon you only have to peddle once and it will carry you down to the bottom. This a real family ride for riders of all ages and it would be a great scout outing. What you need is two vehicles one to leave at the base of Red Canyon and another to leave up at Inspiration Point and enjoy the ride. However going the other way is a real killer; it is up hill the whole way. Gas prices are finally

Heritage Starfest and Our Dark Sky Park serve have been designated by number on the “Messier list”. Charles Messier was an 18th century French comet hunter. He got annoyed with certain ‘bright’ objects that kept mistaking for potential comets, so he compiled a list of ‘things to NOT look at’. His list ironically became one of things we look at the most! Here are a few amazing examples… Open Clusters – These are groups of stars bound together by gravity, in groups of anywhere from a couple dozen to several hundred. M11 is one of my favorites this time of year. It was dubbed the ‘Wild Duck cluster’ by someone who saw – or imagined – a resemblance to a flying formation. M6 and M7 are visible as a soft glow just to the east of the 2 stars forming the ‘stinger’ on the tail of Scorpius. M6 actually outlines the shape of a butterfly, if you look at it just right. Really! Globular Clusters – If open clusters are neighborhoods - or small towns - of stars, globulars are the big cities. Try to imagine hundreds of thousands of stars gravitationally bound into an enormous ‘snowball’ in space. In really dark skies, like we’re blessed with here, they can appear in the eyepiece as a pile of diamonds dumped out onto black velvet. Celestial jewelry. Stunning. There are several good ones viewable now, but M13 in Hercules rules them all, with nearly a million stars! Nebulae (the proper plural of nebula) – Gigantic clouds of gas and dust, in which new stars are often formed. Some emit their own light, some merely reflect light, and some are

The 6th annual Heritage Starfest is here – in Capitol Reef tomorrow and in Torrey on Saturday. Details were on the front page of last week’s Insider. Earlier this year, Capitol Reef was awarded Dark Sky Park status by the International Dark-Sky Association. So please come out and help us celebrate! Having delved into astronomy during my 30 years of residence in light-polluted southern California, it was a joyful experience discovering the near-pristine skies over Capitol Reef. I used to routinely drive 90 minutes or more to get to reasonably dark skies for a night of observing. Now I can just step outside. The best thing about ‘star parties’ is that they provide an opportunity for anyone interested in the night sky to show up and look through a variety of telescopes. Don’t get me wrong - I love gazing at the starry sky with nothing but my standard-issue eyeballs. You can watch the movement of the moon and planets through the seasons, follow the constellations as they shift slowly westward, and even spot a few ‘deep space objects’ like the neighboring Andromeda galaxy and numerous star clusters. I’ve managed to write this column for several months now, based on just that. But a telescope opens a whole new world – or worlds – of magnificent wonder. And we have plenty of enthusiastic volunteers eager to share their scopes with you. Allow me to whet your appetite a bit. Many of the most popular objects we ob-

coming down in Garfield County. We had the highest priced gas in the country at $2.99 for 85 octane. The cheapest gas in the western part of the county is out at Ruby’s and the Pines $2.79. The cheapest in So Utah is down in St. George at COSTCO at $2.39, it is expected that gas will be down below $2.00 before the end of the year. This last weekend was the 185 semi-annual Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints. It was the first time since 1903 that three Apostles have been named at one conference. Since the Church was founded these three brothers are the 98th, 99th and 100th Apostles. Many good words of wisdom were spoken over the weekend on how to live a better life and in the end it’s the family life that really counts. Enjoy the autumn colors. Mack O.

1917 - 2015

LYMAN - William Alfonzo Turner, age 98, passed away peacefully in his sleep on September 30, 2015 at his home in Lyman. He was born September 23, 1917 in Teasdale, Utah, a son of David Ernest and Hulda Artimisha Allen Turner. He served his country in the US Army during World War II. He married Reeda Smith, August 27, 1946 in Torrey. Their marriage was solemnized in the Manti LDS Temple in December of 1950. Reeda died July 29, 1992. He then married Betty Jean Rees Chappell, April 27, 2001 in Manti, Utah. She preceded him in death on November 18, 2008. Alfonzo was an active member of the LDS Church, serving as Bishop of the Lyman Ward, High Priest Group Leader, Ordinance Worker in the Manti Temple, and served a mission with his wife, Reeda, in the Birmingham Alabama Mission. He was a member of the Farm Bureau, Soil Conservation, American Legion and worked with others to get a War Memorial listing all who served from Lyman; and served on the Lyman Town Water Board. He enjoyed fishing with friends and family, rides to Parker Mountain and Fish Lake; more fishing, riding his horse when gathering cows, and riding on his four-wheeler up in the hills. He loved to go for rides to see the leaves turn in the fall, but most of all, he loved to tease and tickle his grandkids, greatgrandkids and any other kids that happened to be around. He is survived by his children: Carolyn Phipps of West Jordan; Susan and L.D. Walker of Washington City; Mack and Suzanne Turner of Nacogdoches, Texas; step-children: Leon and Connie Chappell of Torrey; Jerry and Dortha Chappell of Lyman; Marsha and Randy Jenson of Bicknell; 15 grandchildren; 4 step-grandchildren; 26 great-grandchildren; 10 step-greatgrandchildren; numerous nieces and nephews.

actually dark and block the light of stars beyond. M8, the ‘Lagoon nebula’ is a bright emission nebula located in what I refer to as the ‘steam cloud’ rising out of the spout of the Sagitarius ‘teapot’. It has a brighter glow in one particular spot, caused by unseen ‘infant stars’ – only a few million years old - in a ‘stellar nursery’. There’s also a small open cluster off to one side, as an added bonus. Up above the Teapot, and off a bit to the left is another bright nebula, M17. It’s also known as the ‘Swan nebula’, and when you see it, you’ll know why. We often use ‘nebula filters’ to enhance the visibility of some nebulae. Not to be confused with the mythical ‘cloud filter’, which we hope we don’t need the next couple nights! Planetary Nebulae – These are shells of gas emitted by dying stars. Depending on our perspective from Earth, they can appear as different shapes. M57, the ‘Ring nebula’, looks just like its name. As if someone blew a giant smoke ring out in space. A friend calls it the ‘cosmic cheerio’. M27 is the ‘Dumbbell nebula’, though it reminds me of an apple core. These appear in space for a relatively short time – ‘only’ 10,000 years or so – so I like to think of them

as flowers blooming. The term planetary is a misnomer, as these have nothing to do with planets. But they were being discovered shortly after the discovery of Neptune and Uranus, and the majority of them look similar to those outer planets. Galaxies – Everything else I’ve discussed is within our own Milky Way galaxy, but we can even see quite a few neighboring galaxies. Andromeda, M31, is the nearest, and therefore biggest and brightest. Its glow is easy to spot if you know where to look, but in a scope it’s really spectacular. The spiral arms and dark lanes are visible, as well as a couple smaller companion g Saturn is the only bright planet left in the evening sky and it’s getting lower and lower in the southwest. But early risers can see Venus, the bright star Regulus, Mars, and Jupiter all lined up in the pre-dawn sky. The waning crescent moon is currently joining them and the elusive Mercury will be right off of Luna’s lower tip on the 11th. A beautiful way to start the day! The Veil nebula didn’t make the Messier list, but I still I have to mention it since it’s one of my favorites. It’s a broken circle of wispy filaments that are all that’s left of a star that exploded as a supernova about 14,000 years ago. That we can still see anything there, completely astonishes me! But that’s the very nature of peering into the universe. Won’t you come and join us? For questions or comments: lintonius@scinternet.net

WEDDINGS

Oliver: Through the eyes of a child…. by Adus F. Dorsey II

world. It is that special light bulb moment that only comes on every once in awhile, and instantly connects a few more of life’s dots. As recently as this past week I was fortunate enough to see my world again as I once knew it, “through the eyes of a child,” dirty diapers, bubble baths and busy little feet. Like manna from heaven I located a long lost piece of my life’s puzzle and was provided with the opportunity to gently fill in a noticeably vacant spot in my life. As fate would have it I was able to actually see, smell and embrace the beauty of this incredible place I powerfully get to call home. Just like it was the first time I encountered it. It was absolutely life changing for me to physically experience a two year old assimilate himself into this new surrounding he found his self plopped into. A place, where with the trusting gesture of an out reached calloused hand, or a stretched out bent index finger, meant, “everything was going to be all right”. For the first time in a very long time, deep inside, I truly felt what it was like to feel that special feeling of newness of place again. The closest sense I can come up with is the smell of rain or just washed cotton bed sheets, fresh from of the backyard clothesline. On one of our first adventures together in paradise, with our hands sticky from pinion pine gum, Oliver and I walked ever so slowly and found ourselves speaking in tongues, a foreign to me language of which I was yet to find myself educated in, all the while walking along the glowing red cliff edges of the

Goose Necks in Capitol Reef. A warm morning canyon breeze was wafting over our faces as we stared down into Earth’s chasms, scars so deep they clearly exposed her inner soul, just for us to see. To me and my new little two year old friend, time moved at the pace of a slow moving desert tortoise and nothing else in the whole wide world, going on around us, seemed to matter more than what we were doing at that very moment. Oliver and I instinctively chose to stop every few steps to try and listen to the sound our hiking shoes made on the ripple rocks or kick a loose stone from our path or smell again and again the pine gum permanently stuck to the palms of our hands. Oliver often felt it necessary to pause long enough to touch the texture of time, on the surface of the twisted cedar trees, and sometimes in unison, together we would bend over to pick up a few of her fallen berries. Earth’s constant spinning seemed to somehow stand still. Hand in hand we watched as big white clouds drifted overhead, we sometimes raced as fast as our feet would carry us to see if we could catch the constantly moving shadows. And we laughed, incessantly, without reason. Before Oliver came to visit me last week my “once upon a time, stagnant life moments, (I am embarrassed to admit,) has been filled with the empty political promises made by false prophets and forever sleepless nights of episode after episode of Law and Order”. The Texas sized egos and lies from our supposed D.C. legislatures were instantaneously replaced with multi colored

Crayola crayons, neatly stored in a Chips Ahoy cookie can and a 50-page Elmo coloring book. And, least we never forget our own childhood days, comfortably wearing our cartoon character pajamas with a sewn in pair of rubber soled shoes…. For those that cotton to this way of thinking, the stage between the ages of two and seven is the transition between purely individualized behavior and the socialized play that follows. The child’s pleasure in this stage is derived from participating in a group, or for those that know the game, the “ Honorable Fraternity”. The child feels a communion with the abstract, at this stage they copy and imitate the play of older playmates, and their play parallels the egocentric stage of language development. A time, when once we choose to change the way we use our words, is the moment when we have chosen to change the way we view our world. For those not doomed to be eternally stranded in this two-year-old egocentric wasteland, soon will be forgotten the days when our distant sun spun in a circle only around “us”, and that special time in childhood when we should begin to realize, we are only human. In Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, the Dodo invents a Caucus Race for the prime purpose of drying all the creatures who had become wet from Alice’s “pool of tears”. In response to Alice’s query about the race, the Dodo replied, “The best way to explain it is to do it”. I think Walt Disney said it best when some silly L.A. Times reporter once posed the stupid question to him in the late 1950’s “if he had ever considered a run for President?” Walt, with his eyes constantly on the prize almost fell over laughing and said, “Why would I ever want to be President, when, and if I really wish hard and long enough on a falling star, I could be the King of Disneyland!” For the studious among us slowly following along from Teasdale, references include “The Essential’s of Piaget and a Piaget Primer to How a Child Thinks”, P. Bovet 1912, the Tao of Poo, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and last but not least the endless life adventures of the red shag rug toy named Elmo, my new favorite resource.

SATURDAY SUNSET SERIES

OCTOBER 4, 2015 - I am a true believer that if we ardently ask long and hard enough we will get what we wish for and more times than not what we deserve, and those wishful wishes will often times be disguised in all shapes and sizes. Most of the moral rules about respect that a child learns, he receives from adults, which means that he receives them after they have been fully elaborated, and often elaborated, not in relation to him as they are needed, but through an uninterrupted succession of earlier adult generations. Bovet (P. Bovet 1912) furnished a more detailed and accurate analysis of this process. According to Bovet, this sentiment is one of respect and consciously consists of affection and fear. “Affection alone cannot suffice to produce obligation, and fear alone provokes only a physical or self-interested submission. Respect involves affection and fear both of which can be associated with the position of the inferior relation to the superior, and therefore suffices to determine the acceptance of orders and consequently the sense of obligation.” As far as child development is concerned I tend to lean toward Jean Piaget’s theory of cognitive development. In Piaget’s thinking the child learns by doing, big surprise. Piaget defines intelligence as an individual’s ability to cope with the changing world through continuous organization and reorganization of experience. Piaget goes on to suggest that the child could be considered a philosopher of sorts, one who perceives the world only as he has experienced it. In life, the child is born into egocentrism, he sees himself as the center of the universe, with everything revolving around him and occurring solely for his pleasure and he expects that everyone around him see things exactly as he does. In Piaget’s mind, adaptation is the most important principle of human functioning. Adaptation is the continuous process of using the environment to learn and learning to adjust to changes in the environment. It is the process of adjustment consisting of two complete complimentary processes, assimilation and accommodation. Assimilation being the procedure of taking new information, something like a key shape of a million piece puzzle and being able to zero right in on where it fits into the puzzle of life. It is often such an important piece of the puzzle that it just happens to fit perfectly, like it was somehow pre-ordained into the preconceived childhood notion about objects or the

Tabby's Tech Tips

by Ron & June Rogers Windows 10, the newest version of Windows, looks a lot like Windows 7 and, except for some technical changes, it really is a lot like Windows 7. But, it has a feature that makes reading articles on the Internet so much easier and more pleasant. The new feature is called Reading View and it's a feature of Microsoft Edge, the new Internet browser in Windows 10. Reading View hides all of the ads, videos, pictures, and links, and other distractions that make it hard to read anything online. It turns an article in the Salt Lake Tribune from this… Courtesy Brook Jeffs

A wide assortment of boots are among the new winter inventory at Brook's Country Boutique in Bicknell. Customers can check postings on the store's Facebook page for recent orders to come in to the store, as well as pricing. Brook's Boutique Cont'd from page 1

To this:

Now, that's a relief! To open Microsoft Edge, in the taskbar at the bottom left corner of your screen, click the Edge icon. It looks like a fancy "e." Or, click the Start menu or Search icon ("Cortana"), type "Edge," and then click Microsoft Edge. Next, in Microsoft Edge, type the name of your favorite news website, like Yahoo News, CNN, or Deseret News.

Open the site and click any article. To use Reading View, you must select an article. It doesn't work on the main page or any page with multiple articles. Then, beside the address of the page, click the Reading View icon. It looks like an open book.

If the Reading View icon isn't black, wait a minute or two for it to turn black. The icon isn't enabled until the page is fully loaded. If a page has many pictures, ads, and videos, it might take a while to load. Done! Now, enjoy your distraction-free reading. Oh, and if you decide that you don't like Microsoft Edge, Windows 10 still includes Internet Explorer. To open it, click the Start menu or Search box and then type "Internet Explorer."

When Adus D. was asked what he was making, he said, “I don’t know. I just do what she tells me.” Adus D. clearly enjoyed what he was doing, but another thing he said he enjoyed about being in the workshop behind Brook’s Country Boutique is simply listening to and watching the way Brook works. “It’s really great to watch her with the customers. She’s just so good at what she does,” he said. In addition to clothing, Brook’s Boutique offers fun crafts made by locals. There is barnwood décor by Don Swaner and barbed wire art by Megan Swaner. Lacie Grundy provides a mixture of adult quilts, minky quilts, baby blankets, hot pads and washcloth. Annette Woolsey makes baby blankets. Durran Brian provides custom made leather goods, such as chaps and phone cases. And, for the upcoming winter, there are handmade wooden sleds--made by Adus D. Right now, Brook says she is focused on fall and winter clothing. “Boots, leggings and stuff like that--baby leggings and headbands to match. Also baby moccasins. Recently I’ve been focusing on babies and infants. And for adults I have been ordering in plus-size clothing,” she said. Brook emphasizes that affordability is an important aspect of her operation. “The other day a lady went home with a whole bag of clothes for something like $95. And that bag was filled and she prob-

ably got five or six outfits for her kids. I try to keep prices reasonable so, at least for toddlers and babies, they can get a several outfits for around 50 bucks or so,” she said. To make things even more interesting, over the winter, Brook offers craft classes on Thursdays, which are starting this coming week. “I even had some guys come in for our craft classes last year and it was really fun,” she said. For around $10 for materials, participants get to come in and make something, and go home with it. “I have everything cut and sanded for you. My goal is for people to finish their project here, so they can do the project from start to finish in an evening.” Brook says that for the next craft class they are making fall wooden blocks. Starting time for craft classes

is 5:30. For fall and Halloween festivities, Brook has craft wood pumpkins, also made by Adus D., and decorated by Brooke and Misty Bown. “I think ‘shop local’ is huge. It’s really big and it helps everybody in the community, so I love having these local crafts and working with people locally as much as possible,” said Brooke. Brook’s Country Boutique, located at 111 W. Main St. in Bicknell is open year round. Store hours are 11am to 5:30pm, “and some Saturdays.” Call for information about craft workshops at 435219-0848.

Candidate Profiles for Local City and Town Elections

Allan Johnson Panguitch City Council, 2 year term

Why are you running for city council? I currently serve on the city council and really enjoy it. Panguitch is a great place to live and the people that live here are great to. I am running because I like to be involved. I think the citizens of Panguitch deserve the best. I feel I have good ideas and want to pursue those to make our community a very enjoyable place to live. What are the issues you would like to address during your term? Panguitch needs more recreation through the summer and other months for the youth that aren't involved in sports. One concern is our kids not knowing how to swim or even having the opportunity to learn how. That is something that every child and adult needs. It’s not going to be easy but I will work my hardest to try and make that possible. We need to create fun and enjoyable things to keep the citizens happy and make it so families want to stay. What do voters need to know about you? I was born and raised in Panguitch and I love it here. I have lived here for most my life except the time I attended college at SUU. I volunteer for the fire department, Ambulance, and other various events. I do these things to give back to the community because they provide such a great place to live and raise your family. I want to be involved in city council to do my part and make sure Panguitch remains great as well as add to the greatness. I am easy to talk to, open minded, motivated, dedicated, and excited for the future.

Charlie Allen Panguitch City Council Candidate, 2 year term Why are you running? I would like to see this city move in a different direction. I would like to have new leadership and create a business atmosphere where the tax base would grow. Panguitch needs to be a destination instead of rest stop, we need to develop our tourism. What will your contribution to your community look like? I am semi-retired and have plenty of time, I will attend all of the meetings and make this my primary job. What do voters need to know about you? I was born and raised in Panguitch. I have owned and operated businesses here and in the last 10 years I have worked in Bryce Canyon with the shuttle bus system. We have about 5 generations here in Panguitch. This is my home.

William Todd Breinholt Panguitch City Council Candidate, 4 year term

I am running for the open four year seat on the Panguitch City Council. As a life time member of Panguitch I am extremely invested in the future of Panguitch City. My wife, Lisa, and I have chosen to raise our four children in this wonderful community because of thestrong family ties we have here. As a strong family man, I would like to see more family oriented recreation, such as a community swimming pool and recreation facility in Panguitch. Encouraging new businesses to come to our community would create jobs which would offer the opportunity for not only my own children, but other young people to raise their families here in the great town of Panguitch. As a young child I watched my mother, Karen Breinholt, serve Panguitch in many capacities. She was Panguitch City Manager and Panguicth City Recorder for many years. In addition to these positions, she volunteered in many other organizations. For those of you that knew my mother you know that she had a great passion and love for Panguitch. I would like to carry on this tradition of passion and love of Panguitch by becoming involved in the decision making process of our city. As a Fiber Network Engineer and a Graduate of Southern Utah University I have been trained to be budget conscious, manipulate funds, and create a quality end product. Making Panguitch a strong community will take some who pays close attention to detail, knows how to listen to both sides of the issues, knows how to budget, and is willing to work with other council members to solve community problems. I have these skills. I am asking for your vote so that I can make Panguitch an even better place to live.

Mike Johnson Panguitch City Council Candidate, 4 year term My name is Mike Johnson and I am running for the Four year seat for Panguitch City Council. I was bornand raised in this great town. Twelve years ago my wife and I decided to move back to start a family so they would be raised in a strong community that has great values. I have been serving the people of Panguitch and Garfield County as a Fire Fighter, EMT, and Search and Rescue member for eleven years now, and I take great pride in offering service to our community members when they are at their darkest hour. I recently decided to run for city council because I would really like to be more involved with our town. I want to see our community thrive and keep progressing to make this an even better community for everyone that lives here. I will stand up for what is right and for what you the community want to see happen in the future of our great town. I hope I will get your vote so I can help serve this wonderful community even more.

FALL 2015 ELECTIONS will officiallly take place on Tuesday, November 3, although in Wayne and Garfield counties, each community that is holding elections will be doing so by mail-in ballot, and ballots are expected to be sent out this week. The four communities in which town council and/or mayoral elections are taking place are: Panguitch, Cannonville, Escalante and Torrey. Sample ballots and additional election information can be found in this week's Legal Notices section on page 10. Each candidate running for a seat on a council or for mayor was invited to send in a

candidate profile and a photo for publication in The Insider. Candidates were invited to respond to these questions or submit a statement. Our questions were: Why are you running? What will your contribution to your community look like? What do voters need to know about you? The following individuals have filed for candidacy for the following city/town elections: Panguitch - 8 Candidates for City Council. 4 year term: William Todd Breinholt, Lloyd Brinkerhoff, Mike Johnson, Rick Miller, Trudi Owens, and Chad Garth Veater.

Trudi Owens Panguitch City Council Candidate, 4 year term For the past two years I have had the opportunity of serving on the Panguitch City Council. It has been a great learning experience for me. I have decided I would like to continue to serve the people of Panguitch City and so I have decided to run for Panguitch City Council again. If I am re-elected I would like to continue to explore options for economic development to try to bring jobs to Panguitch that would allow our children employment opportunities so they can stay in our area. Debt reduction for the city is another area that I would like to work toward. I would like the residents of Panguitch City to know that I am willing to listen to their concerns and ideas. I DON'T believe that only elected officials have the answers to improve our city, there are many citizens that have very good ideas and I feel like they should be able to express those ideas without being criticized. After all Panguitch City belongs to the residents and elected officials should be listening to those we represent. I would like to thank those who supported me in the Primary Election. I would truly appreciate your support in the General Election in November.

Dave Treanor Escalante City Council Candidate, 4 year term My name is Dave Treanor. Eleven years ago my wife Erin, and I moved to Escalante and immediately feltat home. We fell in love with the small town western culture, and the sense of community and family values that existed. We knew that if we were to start a family, Escalante is where we would wish to raise our children. It is because of this love that I wish to be on City Council, so that I can be a help in guiding our town into the future. As a business owner and resident, I understand the desire to meet ever increasing demand placed on our town, while doing everything in our power to keep our identity. My overall goals would be to work hard to keep our power and control over our future in town and in the hands of our people. To do this I believe we need to support existing business, as well asencourage and support new, diverse, locally owned business. Support businesses or industry that is not controlled by large corporations from outside but owned and operated by our own citizens. I also have two children that I want the best education and extracurricular activities available. I will support our schools and look for opportunities to expand programs for our cities children. In doing so, I hope that will add to the allure of potential new families. Those that know me best know that I am not a man controlled by his emotions. I love information and work hard to understand another person’s position on an issue, especially when it differs from my own. I look forward to Escalante’s future, and look forward to being a part of it in whatever capacity that may be.

Kevin Worlton Escalante City Council Candidate, 4 year term I am running for a Escalante City Council 4 year term because I have hope for Escalante's future. During my term, if elected, I will work to improve Escalante while keeping the small town feel we all choose to live in. I am committed to Escalante's Citizens, hope for tomorrow. I have a plan for Escalante's future. I don't view Escalante as a dying town, we are alive and vibrant but we have work to do. As a City Council we need to enhance Escalante's appeal while maintaining our character, improve public safety, prioritize community development, and be fiscally responsible. I was raised in Sandy, Utah but have always yearned to live in a small town. I love Escalante. I own a historic home in town and I plan on spending the rest of my life here. I am a hard working dedicated father and grandfather with strong deep rooted values I learned from my parents. I have hope for Escalante.

Bronson Oyler Torrey Town Council Candidate, 4 year term

My name is Bronson Oyler, I live in Torrey, with my wife and daughter. I graduated from Wayne High School in 2009. I attended Weber State University and Snow College, taking business classes to further my education. I am currently employed with Wayne School District and am a coowner of R&B Top Notch Tree Service. I am running for Torrey Town Council because I want to help make a difference and serve the people. I want to help steer Torrey town in a direction that will benefit the town and also the community as Torrey continues to grow. As the owner of the tree service business I am also concerned about the growth and health of the trees in Tree City USA. There is a shortage of water in Torrey town; I would like to be able to help improve Torrey's water volume by helping develop different sources of water. As a candidate for the town I hope to help make a difference in many more ways than what I have listed. I would appreciate Torrey's vote in the November Election. Thank you, Bronson Oyler.

2 year term: Charlie Allen and Alan Johnson Cannonville - 3 Candidates for City Council: Alma Fletcher, Stewart Ivie, and Melanie Ott (no candidates for the Cannonvilel city election filed statements). Escalante - 6 Candidates for Council: (Drew O. Parkin has dropped out of the race), Greg Allen, Guy Graham, Marlene Stowe, Dave Treanor, Kevin Worlton Torrey - 2 Mayoral Candidates and 3 Candidates for Town Council. Mayoral Election:Scott Chesnut, Darrell Mensel. Town Council: Ty Markham, Bronson Oyler and Doug Robinson.

Darrell Mensel Mayoral Candidate, Torrey, 2 year term I am running for mayor of Torrey because our community faces unprecedented challenges we are not prepared to meet. As the Wasatch Front grows more crowded – and more polluted – the clean air, wonderful vistas, and quiet lifestyle of our community will become increasingly attractive to new businesses and residents alike. It is my opinion that we are ill-equipped to deal with these growth pressures. To face this challenge, I will work to address several major deficiencies. First, Torrey lacks sufficient water to support growth. In fact, we may already have more platted lots and untapped commercial connections than we can serve, putting property values at risk. To combat this, we need a comprehensive assessment of lots and commercial hookups in the water district along with an analysis of our current and future water supply. With that information, we can make informed decisions about the limits of commercial and residential development. We need to protect peoples’ investment in land first, and permit sensible growth where feasible. A second major challenge will be to revise and update our current zoning ordinances. Many of our ordinances were developed years ago and no longer fit our needs; in other cases, we have no codes whatsoever and use county codes as a default. Torrey needs its own ordinances to protect our unique character, our property values and our scenic views. With community support, I will work to develop ordinances that achieve these goals. I am a Utah native with careers in the building industry as well as writing and consulting, especially with respect to water resources. I presently serve as the chairman of Torrey’s planning commission. I came to Wayne County as a hiker in 1979 and began purchasing property ten years ago. I expect Torrey to bemy home for the remainder of my life.

Ty Markham Torrey Town Council Candidate, 4 year term Ty Markham I'm running for town council again because I want to continue representing the concerns & needs of Torrey'sresidents. Their list of top concerns include: 1- protecting & conserving our town's access to quality water; 2- preserving the quaint & quiet rural atmosphere of our town, which involves getting ordinances passed to -protect & foster this deeply held desire that is already part of our "general plan"; and 3- implementing the most effective (& humane) means to enforce our town's current and future policies. The tourism season is wonderful for our local economy, yet also challenging as traffic & noise dramatically escalates. Residents of Torrey need to know that I have been listening and respecting their needs and desires as a whole (and often as individuals) on the town council. I need their vote to continue to do so!

Douglas Robinson Torrey Town Council Candidate, 4 year term Why I am running for Torrey City Council:I have certainly enjoyed serving on Torrey City Council for the past 1 1/2 years, and look forward to continued service. I think it is vital as members of this community to be involved in the decision making to maintain the integrity of Torrey which we all love. Serving on the council affords me this opportunity. I am very interested to listen to and address the ongoing concerns of the community members. What are the issues I would like to address during my term?Securing more culinary water for the city. I have met and continue to meet with the County Commissioners, the Wayne County Water Conservancy Board, and I am currently investigating a variety of options for water sources. I will continue to be vigilant in this effort. We as a council and mayor need to continually be watchful and ensure the master plan of Torrey is maintained. I firmly believe the town ordinances need to be followed to protect the land owners and their individual rights. As I currently have responsibility to oversee the cemetery for the city, I will ensure that the upkeep is maintained and any necessary improvements are made. I would also like to secure fencing and protection for a small pioneer cemetery which is south of Torrey. What do voters need to know about me?First of all the voters need to know I love Torrey. Our family has owned the family homestead and farm in Torrey since the 1920's, and I want to help maintain the warm and friendly community atmosphere which hasexisted for so long. I have become more acquainted with many of the community members as I have participated in the cultural events, and appreciate their love of Torrey as well. I enjoy getting to know my neighbors and maintain good relationships with them. I am a family man and love to have our children and grandchildren come and enjoy this beautiful area. I appreciate the visitors who come to visit and hope they all leave with a desire to return.

Practical Money Matters

Building a Fraud-Free Family by Nathaniel Sillin

A generation ago, most families didn't think about financial fraud. Today, it can come in many forms – over the phone, through the mail and increasingly, online. It's an equal opportunity crime that affects consumers of all ages. For the 15th straight year, the Federal Trade Commission tapped identity theft as the number one source of consumer complaints in its 2014 Consumer Sentinel Network Data Book (https://www.ftc. gov) released in February. The agency also noted a "large increase" in so-called "imposter" scams – phone calls and emails from thieves purporting to represent the government as a way to steal data and money from unsuspecting adults. Young people – particularly students – may be the fastest-growing group of fraud targets. Due to their dependence and sometimes unwitting use of computers and mobile devices, young people may be the greatest potential victims of financial fraud, according to a 2015 study (https://www.javelinstrategy. com) by Javelin Strategy & Research. More than 64 percent of respondents said they were not "very concerned" about identity fraud, but were far more likely to find out they were fraud victims long after the damage occurred, such as through a call from a debt collector or a rejection letter from a lender. Most consumers under the age of 18 shouldn't have

a credit record at all. But as digital thieves become more sophisticated and federal agencies become occasionally vulnerable to hackers, critical privacy data like Social Security numbers – which many parents obtain for their children in infancy to save or invest money or buy insurance on their behalf – could be at risk years before a child ever opens a bank account or applies for a loan. For all of these reasons, it may be time to think about a family fraud plan. Here are some steps to consider. • Check the accuracy of all family credit data. Parents should begin by checking their own credit reports (https://www.annualcreditreport.com/index.action) to make sure creditor data and loan balances are accurate and no inaccuracies or unfamiliar lenders have crept into their information. Once clear, adult children can make sure senior relatives are taking similar steps. As for minors, the three major credit agencies – TransUnion, Equifax and Experian – have their own website guidelines for confirming and evaluating a minor's credit data. • Make sure mailboxes are safe from thieves and any document with an account number or identifying data is destroyed before it is placed in the trash. The same goes for tax returns that are no longer needed.

• Learn how to protect all mobile computer and handheld data and have a plan in place in case any family member loses a smartphone, tablet or laptop/ desktop computer. Tips are available online, from smartphone service providers and device manufacturers. • Online, by phone and in person, be wary of collection demands or requests for Social Security numbers or other specific account data unless the identity of the caller can be verified. Fraudulent calls are called "vishing" scams, similar to "phishing" scams that involve fraudulent emails, texts and websites used to illegally collect personal data. • Install all software security updates immediately on mobile devices and computers and ensure passwords are unique and frequently updated. • Sign up for fraud alerts from banks, credit card issuers or investment companies to receive immediate word of unusual or potentially illegal activity on accounts. Bottom line: Identity thieves and other financial fraudsters watch consumer behavior closely and are equally adept at stealing money and data in person, over the phone and online. Have a plan in place to protect the entire family. Nathaniel Sillin directs Visa's financial education programs. To follow Practical Money Skills on Twitter: www. twitter.com/PracticalMoney.
