Community Invited to Bryce Canyon Airport For Fly-in and Open House

BRYCE - Bryce Canyon is preparing to welcome extra pilots and community members to its historic airport with the first-ever Bryce Canyon Fly-in and Airport Appreciation Day happening this Friday and Saturday, Oct. 10th and 11th.

“Our airport is a historic treasure and a tribute to the ingenuity and hard work of the residents of Garfield County,” said airport assistant manager Tye Ramsay. “We welcome new pilots and the public to experience this piece of history.”

Built in 1934, the Bryce Canyon Airport is a celebrated landmark and has been placed

on the National Register of Historic Places. The hangar’s unique barn-like design, rustic ponderosa pine logs, and gabled roof have made it an iconic fixture of the area’s legendary landscape.

As part of the inaugural Bryce Canyon Fly-In, pilots are invited to land their planes at the airport for free and then take a shuttle to visit the redrock vistas of Bryce Canyon National Park. Pilots will also be treated Friday evening to an opening reception and welcome dinner.

“Besides being a part of history, the airport is also Airport Cont'd on page 2

Lions Club and Panguitch Community Deliver on New Ballpark Playground

PANGUITCH - The Panguitch/Hatch Lion's Club is frequently asked for donations to help with anything from eyeglasses to scholarships. In 2012, Paula Palmer came to the Lion's Club, asking for a donation to her playground fund. She got a lot more than that. The club gave her two separate donations and then the Lion's Club members assembled the playground equipment at the ballpark, saving the $7,000 charge the company wanted to set up the equipment.

Paula Palmer moved to Panguitch 10 years ago, and says the first spring she and her family were here her children were involved in t-ball, coach pitch, and girl’s softball. She had approached Panguitch City Manager Allen Henrie and commented on how nice the baseball complex was, but that it needed a playground to make it even better.

"He told me that if I wanted to start doing some fundraising the Panguitch City would support me in the effort," said Palmer. "He gave me a contact name of a person who worked with Great Western Playground.

I contacted them and found out that they have a 50% match grant program for playground equipment that they do in the

fall each year. If we purchased a playground that was over $50,000, they would pay for half of it. I also found out that the shipping for the playground equipment would be approximately $5,000."

Palmer determined that they would need to raise approximately $30,000 to get a playground. She began her fundraising with a 3-on-3 basketball tournament. Her kids helped her put the basketball tournament and concessions together.

"It was a big success," she said.

Other fundraising activities included bake sales, Little Caesar’s Pizza Kits, a Southwest Regional Tournament dinner, raffles at tournaments (coolers and treats), a beef raffle, team pictures for the t-ball, coach pitch, softball and little league teams. Other donations came in from Garfield County, the Panguitch/Hatch Lion’s Club, and the Ross Family.

"I appreciate the guys from the Panguitch City and the Panguitch/Hatch Lion’s Club who worked for many hours to put it together. I know it wasn’t easy, but it saved a substantial amount of money. I also was told that K&D donated the wood chips, Dodds and Talbot Construction installed the curbing, and Bryce

WAYNE CO. - The Wayne County Business Association has partnered with the Utah Microenterprise Loan Fund (UMLF) to provide small business loans of up to $25,000 to new and existing businesses in Wayne County.

The program helps entrepreneurs who are otherwise not able to access traditional sources of funding.

“We are very excited about providing additional funding sources in rural Utah”, says Kathy Ricci, CEO of the Microenterprise Loan Fund.

“There is an unmet need in rural Utah for microloans and it takes the insight and energy of partners such as the Wayne County Business Association, Wayne County Economic Development, the Entrada Institute, Lotus Community Development, Local First and other community leaders to make it happen.”

Leaders and members of the The Wayne County Business Association have long recognized that our rural and remote location has made it very difficult for most small businesses to access funds to attain, retain or expand their existing business. The availability of these funds will not only assist these businesses financially but possibly will Microenterprise Loans Cont'd on page 2

What a Politician Should Be

We live in a country where we have the right, and the peaceful means, of sharing opinions, provided of course that we don’t engage in libel or slander others. I am taking advantage of that right as I feel there is important information that needs to be made available to all Wayne County residents.

Wayne County Commissioner Rob Williams is not noted for ‘tooting his own horn,’ which is unfortunate as voters need to know of his behind-the-scenes actions and achievements.

He, alone, has made the effort to work with residents across all political lines and with Congressman Bishop’s staff to achieve something positive for Wayne County relative to the Bishop Initiative on public lands. Governor Herbert has acknowledged him in writing for that. But Mr. Williams does not broadcast his achievements and commendations. It seems he is not a ‘politician.’ He takes action instead.

He has quietly worked with the Forest Service and government bodies in an attempt to allow local salvage of burned timber on the North Slope of Boulder Mountain. He has been the liaison between the County and a collaborative citizen group formed here in Wayne County working with public lands agencies in an effort to give balanced public input to those agencies.

He understands issues from both the viewpoint of a rancher (being one himself) and the viewpoint of those who consider that the future, economically, is dependent on growth in other areas, such as tourism. He knows the County’s actual economic figures and deals with this reality, not in wishful thinking or denial.

He looks for avenues to benefit all the residents of Wayne County. He is easy to talk with, listens carefully, and then quietly goes into action. I have immense respect for this unassuming public servant – he truly is that – and hope my fellow residents will make the effort to get to know him and return him to office in the up-coming election. He is what a politician should be.

Wayne County Economic Development Director Michelle Coleman, expressing her enthusiasm for the new program, stated, "I am looking forward to seeing the MicroLending Program come to Wayne County and the Central Region of Utah. I visit with quite a few small business venture entrepreneurs with great business ideas, but they don't have enough capitol to really jump into a business venture. With this new MicroLending Program coming to Wayne County, this will help give the edge to those men and women who have the entrepreneurial spirit to get started, or expand their business into great things for our area.!"

The Utah Microenterprise Loan Fund is a nonprofit corporation which offers small business loans of up to $25,000 to applicants who are unable to access traditional forms of financing. Businesses must be located in Salt Lake, Utah, Tooele, Summit, Morgan, Box Elder, Wasatch, Davis, Morgan, Cache, Rich or Wayne Counties.

Be sure to attend the next meeting of the WCBA and learn more about the program and how it might benefit your business. A training workshop will be offered that morning for local technical assistance providers, followed by an informational presentation to the WCBA members. Their fall quarterly meeting will take place on Wednesday, October 15, at 11:00 AM, at the Bicknell Community Center.

F

all is a great time to go for a walk. It’s amazing to notice how the trees are changing colors around town. I especially love walking past the beautiful red and green colors on my neighbor’s corner vine and tree.

How many steps do you walk in a day? You might be surprised to find that it is probably more than you think. The average American walks about 5,000 steps per day in normal daily activity, which can vary widely from about 1,000 to 7,000 steps per day. Unfortunately, 5,000 steps a day is not enough to be considered healthy. Although 5,000 steps is equivalent to approximately 2.5 miles of walking, this level of activity is actually considered to be sedentary! Between 5,000 and 7,499 steps could be classified as “low active,” 7,500 to 9,999 steps are considered “somewhat active,” and above 10,000 steps per day are considered “active.”

Taking more than 12,500 steps would be categorized “highly active.” Therefore, the goal for a healthy, active lifestyle for adults is 10,000 steps per day.

Although 10,000 steps per day seems like a lot, a person can start by adding increments of 1,000 steps per week. One mile is approximately 2,000 – 2,500 steps, depending on the length of your stride. By merely walking around the block in most Utah towns, a person is walking approximately a half-mile or about 1,000 steps, which only takes about 10 minutes.

Youth should be taking more than 12,000 steps a day. Older adults and persons with physical limitations can also benefit from increased physical activity, although they may modify the 10,000-step goal.

Walking is a low cost, fun and practical way to improve health and change a sedentary life style. Some things you can do to increase steps is take a walk with your spouse, child, friend or dog. Park farther from the store or office, or walk to the store or work. Take physical breaks during the day such as a walk during lunch or break time. If you have a meeting, make it a walking meeting or visit. Stand up and walk while talking on the phone. If you spend many hours sitting, such as working at a computer or watching TV, take a break at least hourly to do some exercise.

According to the Physical Guidelines for Americans,

although a person may not lose a lot of weight by simply walking, there are a variety of health benefits including increasing cardiovascular health, strength, mobility, mood, sleep and decreasing risk of type 2 diabetes. A person will also tone up by increasing lean muscle and losing fat. If you are interested in weight loss, you can simply decrease your calories or portion size by 25 percent.

Intensity is also important. A leisurely stroll is not as beneficial as a brisk walk.

To meet current guidelines, individuals are encouraged to walk a minimum of 3,000 steps in 30 minutes for five days per week. Three sessions of 1,000 steps in 10 minutes per day can also be used to meet the recommended goal.

A pedometer can measure your steps so you know how many steps you have taken. Pedometers are relatively inexpensive and can be purchased at a variety of stores. Be careful to do your homework before buying one, however, as there are some on the market that don’t work properly.

Of course walking isn’t the only exercise you can do, but it is a good foundation to which you can add or substitute other exercises. As with any exercise program, you should always check with your doctor before beginning or if you have any concerns.

If you’re interested in increasing your physical activity or improving your health, both Garfield County and Wayne County Extension are offering wellness challenges. The program is geared for women over 18 years of age in creating a personalized wellness program. To participate, contact SuzAnne Jorgensen at 435-676-1114 or suzannej@ ext.usu.edu. (or Gaelynn at the Wayne County Extension Office). The programs are free and begin in October.

If you are not participating in the coaching program, take the Step into Fall Challenge, so you too can say, “No, my car isn’t in the shop. I’m just taking advantage of walking more!”

SuzAnne Jorgensen works with adult and youth groups and individuals to educate them in the areas of canning, food safety, nutrition, finances, small business and many other topics related to home, family and business in Garfield County.

A Salute to Wayne County EMS Team Members

WAYNE CO. - As director of Wayne County Emergency Services, I would like to salute those dedicated individuals who give their time and energy providing Emergency Medical Service to the residents and visitors of Wayne County. The sacrifices they make to provide 24-hour ambulance service to our communities are known well to their families and friends, but perhaps not so well to others.

Wayne County Ambulance is staffed with volunteers who realize little monetary compensation and in some cases actually incur a loss if they must leave their “day job” in order to respond on the ambulance. Their families and co-workers are all too familiar with the urgent “drop-everything-and-run” pager tone imploring them to answer a call. They schedule their lives around a pager so that an ambulance is available at any time (including holidays & weekends).

Four county-owned ambulances are equipped and ready roll from Loa, Bicknell and Hanksville. Three people are needed to make a full crew.

Three more people are needed to cover “back-up” whenever an ambulance is out. Over forty people are trained as EMT’s and Drivers ready throughout the county, to serve when called upon.

Garfield Counties, and additional restaurants in Beaver and Cedar City will also be participating in the Go Out for Shelter event.

CCWCC Board Members, Staff, and Volunteers will serve as dining Hosts, welcoming patrons at each participating restaurant. There will be information about shelter services, family support and other programs, highlighting all that the shelter provides. There will also be an iPad raffle and other great door prizes offered as incentive for patrons who make personal tax-deductible contributions toward helping support Sojourner's "29" Cont'd from page 1

place-titled novel, 29, follows Nell Walker, a washed-up L.A. executive who boards a bus bound for Twentynine Palms, California, as the emptiness of her jam-packed life threatens to ruin her. Nell finds a true home in Twentynine, spearheading a campaign to protect the fragile Mojave Desert’s sacred lands from solar and wind power farms.

Caring about wild places is critical for Sojourner, inspiring both her activism and her writing. She points out that “this novel looks at how the increasing human lack of connection with ‘place’ is not only wounding each of us, but the planet itself. My storyline, my characters, my resolutions (and non-resolutions) spring from my connection with the earth—and my service to the ground under my feet.”

Starred reviews from Booklist and Publishers Weekly highlight Sojourner’s talent for writing her passion into story: “Ever-ascending Sojourner cooks up wrenching sorrow and hilarious banter, environmental and moral conundrums, magnetizing characters, and a place of transcendent beauty in this intoxicating, provocative, and gloriously told desert tale of wildness and community, unexpected bonds and deep legacies, trauma and healing.”— Donna Seaman, BOOKLIST (starred review).

“This standout ecological novel from Arizona author Sojourner features picturesque prose, a vivid western setting, and sharply drawn characters.”—PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review).

The environmental issues explored in the novel ring true to life: in February, the largest

If you are a family member, friend, employer or co-worker of an EMS volunteer, Thank you for standing by and supporting our EMT’s.

These amazing people are your friends, your family and your neighbors. Without them, we have no ambulance service in Wayne County. Take a moment, the next time you see them, to recognize their dedication with a simple “thank you.”

CCWCC. The CCWCC, founded in 1996, provides free confidential help for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and victims of crime.

Under the direction of Cindy Baldwin, the Center recently expanded several of its client programs to provide a holistic approach that allows stability and security for those accessing services. Aside from the service of providing temporary emergency shelter for women and children in domestic crisis, the organization provides an additional Transitional Housing Program, Healthy Relationship Education Program and a Mobile Crisis Response Team, each accessible

through visiting the Outreach Center located upstairs from Bulloch Drug on Main Street.

While expanding services and adding these much needed programs, the CCWCC is currently working hard to meet growing financial needs in sustaining programs with the hope of strengthening and supporting victims of abuse and their families. Funds raised during this event will support violence prevention programs, provide legal advocacy for survivors while also funding support groups for women, children and teens affected by abuse.

These funds will also ensure that there is a mobile crisis response to victims of violence, maintain telephone crisis lines,

support the transitional housing program and enable the emergency shelter to continue to house women and children fleeing domestic violence.

Please plan on taking yourself, your family and your friends to C-Stop Pizza on October 9th, and Go Out for Shelter. The community’s support in these fundraising efforts will serve to maintain and ensure growth in successful programs that can bring hope in the freedom from this kind of violence.

C-Stop Pizza is located at 561 E. Center Street in Panguitch. ―Lindsey Bremner, Canyon Creek Women’s Crisis Center

solar energy plant in the world, covering approximately five square miles of land, opened in the Mojave, which was recently named one of the 100 most scenic places on earth by National Geographic. For Sojourner, connection to the area goes deeper than stunning scenery. “I lived in Twentynine Palms and a few miles northwest on Luna Mesa in the Mojave. Inspiration came from walking the desert every day for a year, watch-

ing twelve full moon rises and meeting my neighbors who were some of the kindest people I’ve ever met.”

A long-time writing teacher and coach, Sojourner has been writing about the West—its landscape and its passionate people—for three decades. From a fiction debut in 1989 (Sisters of the Dream) to essay and short story collections (Bonelight and Delicate), to fiercely honest and compas-

sionate memoir (Solace: Rituals of Loss and Desire and She Bets Her Life: A True Story of Gambling Addiction), along with contributing to NPR commentary and columns in the likes of High Country News. Her forthcoming novel delves deeper than any news story—29, says Sojourner, “uses story and human grace and folly to teach the importance of where we live.

Schools & Sports October is "Bully Prevention" Month The month of October is “Bully Prevention” month across the United States.

In Garfield School District we want to make sure students feel comfortable and safe when they arrive at school. Students must know they are safe at school in order to allow the learning process to take place. The District has approved and has policies in place; including a zero tolerance to bullying at school or during school sponsored activities. When the schools are made aware of bullying situations, law requires principals to contact the parents of the student who was bullied and also the parents of the student who bullied the other student.

Even with policies in place, I realize bullying still takes place on our campuses.

Bullying statistics in the United States show one in four stu-

dents are bullied on a regular basis with the most common type of bullying being verbal, which accounts for about 77% of all students who are bullied.

As the number of students who have access to electronic devices increases, we see an increase in cyber-bullying with approximately 80% of students nationwide encountering some form of bullying by use of an electronic device.

When bullying takes place, students should talk to their teacher or building administrator and let them know what happened. When parents become aware of their students being bullied at school, they should immediately contact the school principal.

When students and parents have these discussions with teachers or administrators, please use the word “bully” because many times students

1st- The First graders have just finished up their science unit on animals. They all made an information book on their favorite animals. They have also finished the math chapter on subtraction. We are already excited for Halloween.

2nd- We are learning about the moon. Keep filling out your daily observation chart. Art was fun, we drew fall pumpkins and colored them with oil pastels.

3rd- The third graders are working hard at collecting data and making different graphs. They are all amazing mathematicians.

4th- We are studying weather and the water cycle, looking at clouds, and measuring rain. In math we're multiplying 3 digit numbers by 1 digit numbers. We think math rocks!

6th- We are reading Spirit Animals together as a class. We have finished the mid-chapter test on fractions. We are also studying the moon and learning the phases.

Other Notes- The entire school loved Ballet West. They performed The Nutcracker and showed us some of their technique.

We hope they come back. They taught us some of the dance exercises and performed part of the Nutcracker such as Clara and the Nutcracker dance, the Sugar Plum Fairies and the dolls. It was so good.:) Paint Contest Cont'd from page 1

After seeing how Dennis had painted his scene of choice, the students worked with him, their teachers, and on their own, on subjects of their choice. The students were supplied with watercolor kits, brushes, and watercolor paper by GCNHA in support of GSENM's outreach and education programming. The art supplies were provided to more than 100 students and were valued at more $500 dollars. Each student got to keep their own watercolor set so they could continue to work on art projects well after the festival.

One painting per student

was entered into the student competition and exhibited during the arts festival. Dennis judged the exhibit and three awards were given in five grade classes. The award winners include the following students: 1st – 2nd Grades: Tyler Leavitt 3rd-4th Grades: Kinley Noyes Korben Young Mazee Dunton.

PHS Sports Sidelines

by Mack Oetting

What a Ride the Cats Have Had All good things have to come to an end. The Bobcats baseball team needed a victory up at Piute in order to play them again to see who goes to the quarter finals. The Cats came up three runs short in their endeavor, losing to the Thunderbirds 3 to 0. What a ride the Cats had, starting four years ago with a second place finish at State. Then three straight State Championships, in that three year stretch they only lost one game and won 53 games in a row. With the great coaching we have here look for the Cats to bounce right back next year.

Hang your heads high Cats you had a great run and you are still the Champions for another week.

The Lady Cats continued on with their fine season with another couple of wins.

Wednesday night Wayne came with a young team and the Cats had an easy time with them taking all three sets fairly easily. Friday night up at Piute it was Pink Night and boy do the TBirds put on a grand evening. They give out flowers to all cancer survivors and there

were many in the audience.

With both teams wearing pink, it was a fun game. The Ladies brought their A game this night and unlike their last meeting with the TBirds weren’t near as close this time.

The Bobcats took all three sets and the most Piute could muster was 18 points. I really think this is by far the best volleyball team that PHS has every produced. In high school volleyball teams are only as good as their weakest player.

The Cats don’t have any glaring weaknesses, with three 6 footers on the front line and Whittni Orton coming in with some timely kills, they are solid up front. The setter is really setting short so the other teams can’t have much success with trying to block the hits. The back row has some real strong defensive players that are making great passes, that makes the setter job easier.

Zero weaknesses even with the subs, Coach Frandsen has the girls really dialed in. Last night South Sevier came here and hopefully they gave the girls some competition. The

South Sevier tournament will be held on this Friday and Saturday and the Lady Cats will again meet up with some 2 & 3 A teams. Escalante will be here next week on the 15th and then Region starts and it will be held here in Panguitch on Oct. 24th.

The seasons are way too short.

The Bobcats went down to Valley and the boys got back on their winning ways. Scoring a low 37 points, way a head of second place So. Sevier with 62 points. Again, Jonah Shoppe continues to improve with each meet. This time he finished 2nd, behind Milford’s top runner and ahead of Milford’s 2nd runner and the runner from Escalante who has been winning many races. Jonah was followed

by Connor Anderson, Josiah Sarles, Trenton Stowe, Garret Finch and Janzen Orton in 18th place. All of the girls are really putting the work in the morning workouts and with the volleyball games they will again run in force at Valley for Region on Oct. 14th and that race will start at 4:00. The girls are heavily favorited to win their fourth straight championship.

Thank You from WCGYB

Wayne County Girls Youth Basketball would like to say "thank you" to all the businesses who sponsored them and community members who have supported in all our fundraisers. We have enjoyed a very successful summer being able to participate in competitive tournaments. The girls have worked to represent this small community and have been complimented by refs, coaches, scorekeepers, program directors, and fans for their work ethic, persistence, and sportsmanship. The best way to sum up these compliments was given by an opposing coach who the girls played and won, when she came over after the games and said, "My girls came in and said look how small they are they should be easy to beat, and I told them, I know people from Wayne County and don't underestimate these girls, they come from a community who values hard work. They will be fighters and surprise you and you guys did. This team represents what small farm towns are based off from very well."

That compliment has stayed with me as I have watched these girls the rest of the summer. This community has given them the opportunity to play and they have worked hard to grow and learn from this opportunity. Thank you to everyone involved in making this happen.

A Great Week for Badger Sports Badgers on top, pitcher Brenden Robins, saw only 3 buffalo batters in the sixth, striking all three out. Valley regrouped and the inning ended scoreless.

It was up to the Badger’s now, if they could hold the visiting team they would be region champs. The first two batters quickly returned to the pine with three strikes each.

The next batter walked and the next hit a long fly to right field. Senior Jace Christensen dove for the ball just missing but quickly recovered and rocketed it to short stop, Jaden Ellett who got the runner out at second.

The Badgers ended the regular season with a spectacular win and a region championship trophy! Senior, Jake Stevens was chosen by his coaches as the athlete of the week with a triple, double and single and 5 RBI’s, he is also ranks 4th in 1A for doubles hit this season.

Junior pitcher Brenden Robins ended his regular season with a pitching record of 7-0, top in the state for 1A. Senior Braden Brian is the 1A top home run hitter with 4, and senior Regan Brian finished second in 1A for triples hit. The JV team also won. Congratulations to the players and coaches! Let’s take state.

The week ended with the volleyball team hosting Bryce Valley in a PINK game. The Badger and mustang players, coaches, and cheerleaders all donned pink along with many of those in the packed gymnasium. The coaches worked hard gathering donations and selling raffle tickets, all of the proceeds from the night were donated to help cover expenses of local cancer sufferers. The

varsity game started off with the recognition of all those in the crowd who have had or currently are fighting cancer. The Wayne high cheerleaders gave each a carnation, care givers were also given flowers. Then coaches Lori Woolsey and Tacey Wood each dedicated their game to a parent; Lori to her mother and Tacey her father, while players from each team introduced themselves and dedicate their game to someone they knew who has suffered from cancer. The game started with an exciting first match. Both teams played well and the score bounced back and forth. The Badgers came out the victors with a score of 27 to 25! The second match began where the first left off. The cheerleaders on both sides kept the fans hyped and the see-saw battle continued. Senior Morgan Jeffery did a great job at the service line and the Jackson sisters and Haylee Snedeger kept the mustangs on their toes with powerful hits and blocks at the net. The Badgers won the second match by just a few points. In the third match the Badgers took over and dominated. The final match was easily won with a score of 25-14. The JV team also won 4 matches to 1, and the freshman team won in three, the Badger’s volleyball future looks bright indeed. Congratulations and great job to the coaches and players! The evening was entertaining and heartfelt.

Region 20 Champs, Wayne Badgers baseball team rallied in the 4th and 5th innings to come back from a 5 run deficit to take the region championship over the Valley Buffalos.

Preston Stephenson had a great game against North Summit this past week. The Badgers played an amazing fourth quarter, but came up short as time ran out, losing to the Braves.

Photos and captions by Lisa Stevens

The past week has been exciting for Badger fans! It all started on Monday September 29th with a football game against North Summit (and we will have a full report on this NEXT week!).

Then on Wednesday October 1st, the baseball team faced the Valley Buffalos in “a winner takes all” match up.

Valley ruined the Badger’s undefeated season earlier in the year and the team was looking for redemption. The Badger’s offense was first to score a run, closing out the first inning with a 1 run lead. Valley knocked in a run during the second, tying the score. The buffalos got in a groove at the top of the third and added three runs.

The Badger’s struggled with a few errors and were unable to answer offensively ending the inning Valley 4, Wayne 1. The beginning of the fourth looked like it was going to be another all Buffalo show. Valley scored 2 more runs and had the Badger fans worried that the region championship had slipped through their fingers. The Badger’s however had other plans. With two outs leadoff batter Brigg Blackburn was up to bat. He hit a nice single to get on base, followed by Jaden Ellett and Braden Brian to load the bases. With three of the fastest Badgers on base, Jake Stevens hit a long double to score all three runners. Landon Chappell was the next batter and he hit a single that brought Jake around. The fourth inning ended with a score of Wayne 5 Valley 6, but the momentum had been regained by the home team. The fifth inning held Valley scoreless and Wayne scored 2 more runs. With the

Wayne School District Celebrates Healthy School Lunches and Lifestyles National School Lunch Week Aims to Get Kids Excited About Healthy Foods and Physical Exercise

WAYNE CO. - Wayne School District schools will recognize National School Lunch Week from October 13-17, 2014. The theme, IIGet in the Game with School Lunch" is promoting the importance of balancing healthy eating with physical activity and exercise.

National School Lunch Week will emphasize the healthy foods that are offered daily at our schools. Kids will be planning menus that can be served later in the year and eating lunch with sports team members from Wayne High or Wayne Middle Schools.

The federally-funded National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides nutritionally balanced, healthy meals to students everyday. The program, which has been serving the nation's children for over 60 years, requires school meals to meet federal nutrition standards like offering fruits and vegetables every day, serving whole-grain rich foods, and limiting fat, calories, and sodium.

The "Get in the Game with School Lunch" campaign is sponsored by the non-profit School Nutrition Association and Chobani Greek Yogurt.

October 9, 2014

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com While driving the shuttles out at the Park I try to tell the tourists about all that we have available in our area to see. I always tell those that are leaving the Park of Highway 12 and all that there is to see along the way and it is the only All American Highway in Utah. I tell them that it is one of the finest by-ways in the Country, however I have changed my mind, it is one of the finest in the world. Last year Pat and I rode out to Torrey, in the middle of October and most of the leaves were gone, this year we got a head start and it was really something to see. All scenery out to Boulder is spectacular as usually, but once we were on top the whole world came alive with gold. It is hard for me to describe this beauty, it is incredible and it lasted for 30 miles.

With many over looks along the way this can be an all day ride. As you come down off the mountain, you are treated to the glaring red rocks of the town of Torrey. Torrey has to have the best back drop of any place we have ever been. Torrey has many new motels in the area and is really growing, looks like a great place to retire. At the end of the road is a service station and Subway shop and Pastor Dave Payne is still working there and has his church just down the street. I was telling a couple from Iowa about Hwy. 12, when another couple said they had just made that trip, when I ask him what he though of it, he said that he had never seen anything like it before.

One of the overlooks is dedicated to Clem Church, who was Val Church's younger brother. Clem was over the Highways in Utah and was instrumental in having the road

paved from Boulder to Torrey, in 1977. Mary Ann, Clem’s wife, lived across the street from us for years and now lives in the SLC because of health reasons.

Things are slowing down at the Park and the Shuttle system will cease, on this Sunday. There is a new manager Chris Sassman and assistant manager Kelly Anderson and things ran real smooth this year, including the Mighty 5 Park Symphony, with over 1,000 patrons. LaMont Olsen and Wayne Ross kept things moving with some real old buses. It was a record year in the Park and because it is an election year, Congress didn’t shut down the National Parks.

Tomorrow night is the annual Fall Fundraiser for the Garfield County Hospital. It’s out at Ebenezer’s Barn and Grill at Ruby’s. The festivities starts at 6:00, be there or be square.

Speaking of elections we have one coming up on Nov. 4th and it is a mid term vote.

Even though Congress only has a 14 per cent approval rating, they just keep getting reelected, especially in Utah. If you can get elected you will get a life time job, with free medical insurance, pay raises that you vote on, and tons of vacations, a real dream job.

Congress took off August for vacation, worked two weeks and then came home to campaign, to do it all over again.

Good news for the economy, unemployment has dipped below 6 percent to 5.9 for the first time since July 2008. In the last 5 years the rate has dropped down from 10 percent and the inflation rate is remaining low at 1.7 percent in the past year. A falling unemployment signals higher wages,

the reason is that employers eventually have to pay more to attract the workers they need.

The average national hourly wage is at $24.53. Wholesale oil prices have fallen to $89 a barrel, down from $108 three months ago and gas prices are falling. If you want cheaper gas you will have to go north, in the SLC area gas is down to $3.03 a gallon. The cheapest gas in So. Utah is down in St, George at $3.41 and COSTCO at $3.36. Even Kanab has gas at $3.45.

Bad news for Panguitch the Gem Theater is closed for now. John was not able to get any money to switch over to digital movies and it is the town’s loss. The Gem theater has been a real tourist attraction, it has kept many tourists in town during the evenings. which has been good for business all around.

From the SLC Tribune.

Actor Tracy Morgan and others ridding in a limo, were hit from behind by a Wal-Mart truck and Tracy Morgan spent a couple of weeks in the hospital with rib and leg injuries and his friend was killed. WalMart is claiming that those in the limo weren’t wearing seat belts and that their injuries

were caused by their failure to properly wear available seat belts, which it said constitutes unreasonable conduct.

The Major league baseball playoffs have started and it looks like the wild card teams are leading their series so far.

Pro Basketball starts at the end of the month and I can’t wait to see LaBron’s new team. I stayed up watching Utah State. take out number 18 BYU, rather easily. The Y lost the great quarterback early and it really hurt them. Two touchdown underdog Utah really took it to UCLA. The Utes really dominated the game, leading most of the game by 10 or more points. However late in the game the Bruins came from behind to take a one point lead.

The Utes, at the start of the game after the first three series replaced their starting quarterback with the second stringer and was he good. He led Utah down to field goal position and the kick was good, with only 35 sec. left. The Bruins took the ball back down the field to where they tried a field goal that missed, but the kicker did a flop and they gave him another chance but it also failed, pretty exciting.

I made some really great friends that I am sure I will have for the rest of my life. Although I did not make it to the final ten I feel that I represented Garfield County well! My opening statement in introducing myself and my county can sum it up in just a few words on how I feel about our great county "THE ROCKS OF BRYCE CANYON ARE LIKE THE STRONG COMMUNITY THAT I LIVE IN, BEAUTIFUL, SOLID, and ALWAYS THERE!! Thank You Garfield County!!

Revised Rules for Horseback Riding Take Effect February, 1 2015 at Bryce Canyon National Park BRYCE CANYON N.P. Bryce Canyon National Park initiated a public comment period for 30 days beginning March 26, 2014 regarding proposed changes for users of privately-owned stock on designated horse trails within the park. Changes are intended to ensure the safety of all visitors and to protect park resources.

Trails open to horseback riding are steep and narrow given the terrain below the Canyon rim and offer limited space for stock groups to pass. It is the intent of the park, the trail ride concessioner and private equestrian users to promote, and be proactive in, equestrian safety and safe trail use. The new rules below take effect February 1, 2015. Details and specific requirements can be found at: http://www.nps.gov/ brca/planyourvisit/trailrides. htm Park Superintendent Jeff Bradybaugh thanked the many people that responded during the public comment period: “Approximately 400 individuals or organizational representatives responded and provided comments via mail, phone, and principally by e-mail. With expert assistance from the park’s trail ride concessioner and officers from Backcountry Horsemen of Utah, the park has analyzed the issues and public comments and has devised solutions. Bryce Canyon National Park appreciates the many constructive comments and suggestions provided and we have utilized them in finalizing rules for private equestrian use at the park.” An analysis of issues, comments and solutions can be found at the website listed above.

Required Use of Guides The park initially proposed that all private equestrians would be required to hire a guide to maximize safety and reduce trail conflicts. Respondents universally felt a guide was unneeded. The new rules will not require private equestrians to hire a guide. Park Rangers will discuss safety procedures, Leave No Trace and trail etiquette during private equestrian groups checkin, similar to long-established procedures at the park, but will provide greater emphasis on trail directional routing (oneway only), areas of steep or narrow trails, and the area with two-way horse traffic. Eliminating the guiding requirement places responsibility on all equestrian users to carefully adhere to trip scheduling and directional routing on the park horse trails to maximize safety.

Scheduling Scheduling for private

riding parties was recommended by most respondents and will be used as a technique to avoid potential crowding, encounters with concession rides and to help alleviate associated safety concerns. Park staff, concessioner and officers from Backcountry Horsemen of Utah examined scheduling options at different times of day.

Departure times for private equestrian groups from the concession day corral will be: 7:30am; 12:30pm; 4:30pm and every half hour thereafter up to 1 hour before sunset. Private equestrians will be required to schedule their ride for one of these times at least 72 hours in advance by contacting the Park via e-mail: BRCA_Information@nps.gov Trail Routing and Wayfinding Trail routing will remain the same as it is currently. Additional signage will be added to assist equestrians in route finding where trails intersect and to provide users with directions for safe flow. Scheduling of both private equestrian rides and concession trail rides will be used to minimize 2-way encounters of horse ride groups moving in opposite directions on the portion of the trail between the Rim and the head of Binkie Hollow (Falling Rock) and to maintain safe separation of groups on one-way sections, particularly on the west side of the Peek-a-Boo Loop where the trail is exceptionally steep and narrow.

Equestrian Group Size A number of respondents commented that specifying group size may assist in managing equestrian safety and use. Most private equestrians visiting the park consist of groups of less than 8 riders and horses. For safety reasons, the park trail ride concession must maintain a guide to guest ratio of 1 guide per 10 riders or less.

The park has established a limit of 10 riders and their mounts per private equestrian group.

Equine Health and Testing for Equine Infectious Anemia (Coggins Testing) Equine Infectious Anemia is an infectious disease of horses for which there is no vaccine, treatment or cure.

Utah law requires that all stock entering from outside of Utah must have a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection and the certificate must show a negative Equine Infectious Anemia (Coggins) test within the past 12 months. This applies to stock domiciled in Utah that leave Utah and subsequently return to the State. Equines domiciled in the State that do not leave Utah are not required to

have a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection nor documentation of a negative Equine Infectious Anemia (Coggins) test. Park staff, concessioner and officers from Backcountry Horsemen of Utah discussed these requirements and Park staff consulted with the State Veterinarian’s Office, Utah Department of Agriculture and Food, in order to develop a practical rule in compliance with state law and protective of equine health.

The following requirements will be in place for the park and apply to concession, privately-owned or NPSowned or contracted horses and mules: a) All stock brought to the park that originate from outside of Utah must have a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (valid for 30 days) and the certificate must show a negative Equine Infectious Anemia (Coggins - AGID or ELISA) test within the past 12 months. b) Utah equestrians must certify that their animals have not left the State in the past 6 months; otherwise the requirements for Certificate of Veterinary Inspection and a negative Coggins test will apply. c) Utah law requires that owners of any horses being transported within Utah, whether originating in Utah or from another State must carry proof of ownership. Approved forms of proof of ownership are found at the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food website: http://ag.utah.gov/animal/animal-identification/36animals/238-livestock-movement.html Proof of ownership will also be used to verify the requirement for a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection and Coggins testing, for out-of-state horses. d) Rangers will check the documentation described above prior to stock being allowed in the park and equestrians will be required to provide proper documentation and certify that their stock meet these requirements.

Bryce Canyon National Park greatly appreciates the many constructive comments and suggestions provided by the public. We encourage equestrians to visit the website listed above to find detailed information on horseback riding and to help them plan and enjoy their equestrian experience in Bryce Canyon National Park.

Attention to Detail

At the U.S. Navy Flight School in Pensacola, Florida, we had "attention to detail" hammered into our heads. One instructor in particular preached this virtue. As we walked out to check an airplane, he told me my reputation as an aviator would depend on my "attention to detail."

First he showed me how to identify our plane; then he conducted a meticulous preflight scrutiny, inspecting every nook and cranny.

Just as he finished and we were strapping in, another instructor with a student in tow walked up to us. "Fellas," he said, "that was very nice of you to preflight our aircraft. Your plane is in the next flight line."

Monthly Senior Dinner -The monthly dinner is held the second Monday of each month. The next dinner will be on Oct. 13th at 1:00 pm at the Senior Center (Community Center) in Bicknell.

The menu will be: Chicken Pot Pie, Jell-O Salad, Rolls and Ice-cream. Entertainment will be provided

by Janet Hansen, Carolyn Moosman, and Becky Pace. Door prizes will be given out. A donation is suggested for each monthly dinner ($5 for seniors under 60, $3 for seniors 60 and up). Call Jim at 836-3070 for a ride.

Flu Shots- The Wayne County Public Nurse will be at our October luncheon from 12:30 to 1:30 to provide pneumonia and flu shots. There are two types of flu shots, a high dose recommended for people over 65 and regular dose. Without insurance, high dose $45, regular dose $25, pneumonia $150. Please bring your Medicare or other insurance card.

Thank You! - We would like to thank the Moody Gulch Band for entertaining us at our September luncheon.

Volunteers Needed - We need volunteer representatives on the Senior Citizens Board for Lyman and Bicknell. The commitment is generally one specific day a month for just a few hours. We fix and serve a hot lunch for our seniors, with a short board meeting just prior. If you’re interested, give the Senior Center a call at 425-2089, or come to our board meeting just prior to our monthly luncheons.

Newsletter Information - Do you have information you would like to share in our Wayne County Senior Citizens Newsletter? Call Joan at 425-3077.

Math Review

A Mom was helping her son review his math while her daughter was in the kitchen.

"You have seven dollars and seven friends," she said.

"You give a dollar to two of them but none to the others.

What do you have left?"

From the kitchen her daughter called, "Two friends."

The doctor was making her rounds and walked into the semiprivate room in the hospital to examine old Mrs. Williams.

After the exam, in her best professional voice, she said smoothly, "You are coughing much more easily this morning."

"I should," snapped the patient, "I've been practicing all night."

Monosyllabic

My 15-year-old son asked me to drive him to his friend's house. Once we were in the car and several minutes had passed in silence, I attempted to open the lines of communication.

"Did you have a nice day at school?"

"Yep." "Any homework to do?"

"Nope."

"You got your hair cut" "Yep." "This is a monosyllabic conversation isn't it?"

"Yep." "You do know what monosyllabic means?"

"Yep." "Well, tell me." Aha, I thought, now he has to give me a dictionary explanation.

With a mischievous grin and a sly look at me, he replied, "One."

Vote ÒYESÓ LeEllen McCartney for County Attorney

ORGANIZATIONS, MEETINGS, ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS There are several organizations that help, or want to help Wayne County such as Six County Association of Governments, Utah Association of Counties, Western Association of Counties and National Association of Counties. In addition, there are other organizations who want to help us, such as the American Lands council, who want to help take back the public lands.

We need a strong, responsible, and experienced County Attorney. One who lives in Wayne County and has the interests of Wayne County at heart. I am that person.

Although IÕm running unopposed, I still need a majority of voters to vote for me as your County Attorney.

Vote ÒYESÓ on November 4th!

I’m presently Chairman of the Board of Directors for Six County (Wayne, Sevier, Millard, Sanpete Juab and Piute) Association of Governments. The board consists of county commissioners and a mayor representing each county. Gil Hunt - Mayor of Bicknell - represents Wayne County Mayors. This is the organization that supplies services such as heat assistance, meals-on-wheels, housing assistance and other vital programs directly to counties. Utah Association of Counties also provides needed training and direct assistance to counties.

The other organizations are more involved with lobbying government for programs that benefit counties. All hold meetings, training sessions, conventions, etc. I’m not likely to attend unless I can see a direct connection to Wayne County. Schedule a meeting dealing with grazing and sage-grouse, or invite me to a Town Council meeting and I’ll be there if at all possible.

• Multiple use and sustained yields are compromised on public lands • Access to public lands • Develop and protect our water rights and access to them • Wilderness stifles economic development, which we so desperately need. It discriminates against the handicapped.

I don’t have much patience for passing ordinances, resolutions, or laws designed to “send a message” to the federal government or let them know who is in charge. If there is something I want someone to know, I’ll go talk to them. I have good working relations with all federal and state agencies. It’s based upon mutual trust and respect and much more effective than passing resolutions or ordinances.

Flexible Spending Accounts, Commuter Benefits Cut Your Taxes

by Jason Alderman

For millions of Americans, 2015 open enrollment for employer-provided benefits is right around the corner. While it may be tempting to simply opt for the same coverage you have this year, doing so could cost you hundreds – or thousands – of dollars in tax savings. Have I captured your attention?

Find out if your employer offers flexible spending accounts (FSAs). They let you pay for eligible out-of-pocket healthcare and/or dependent care expenses on a pre-tax basis – that is, before federal, state, local and Social Security taxes have been deducted from your paycheck.

Also look for a commuter benefit plan, where you can pay for certain workplace mass transit and parking expenses with pretax dollars. By contributing to an FSA or commuter plan to cover expenses you would have paid for anyway, you reduce your taxable income by that amount, which in turn lowers your tax bill.

Here's how it can add up: Say you're married, jointly earn $90,000 a year and contribute 5 percent to a 401(k). If you contribute $2,000 to a healthcare FSA and $4,000 for dependent care, your resulting net income, after taxes, would be roughly $1,700 more than if you had paid for those expenses on an after-tax basis. Use the FSA calculator at www.dinkytown.net to evaluate your own situation.

And, with a commuter plan, you can use pretax dollars to pay for up to $130 a month in transit expenses (bus, train, vanpool, etc.) and $250 a month in qualified parking expenses and reap the same kind of tax benefit.

You can use a healthcare FSA to pay for any IRS-allowed medical expenses not covered by your medical, dental or vision plans. This includes deductibles, copayments, orthodontia, glasses, prescription drugs, chiropractic, smoking cessation programs and many more. Note: Over-the-counter medications, except for insulin,

require a doctor's prescription to be eligible. (See IRS Publication 502.)

Eligible expenses include: • Fees for licensed daycare and adult care facilities.

• Amounts paid for services provided in or outside your home so that you and your spouse can work, look for work, or attend school fulltime.

• Before- and after-school programs for dependents under age 13.

• Babysitting by relatives over age 19 who aren't your dependent.

For some lower-income families, the federal income tax dependent care tax credit is more advantageous than an FSA so crunch the numbers or ask a tax expert which alternative is best. Note: You cannot claim the same expenses under both tax breaks. Keep in mind these FSA restrictions: • The IRS limits employee contributions to healthcare FSAs to $2,500 a year.

• The dependent care FSA contribution limit is $5,000 if you're single or married filing jointly.

• Outside of open enrollment, you can only make mid-year FSA changes after a major life or family status change.

• You must re-enroll in FSAs each year.

You'll also need to estimate planned healthcare FSA expenses carefully or risk having to forfeit your unused account balance. Employers may choose to either: offer a grace period of up to 2 ½ months after the plan year's end to incur expenses; or allow you to carry over up to $500 to use in the following year.

With commuter plans you can change contribution amounts throughout the year whenever your needs change; you can also carry over unused funds from month to month.
