Legacy of Freedom Conference Draws Packed Crowds for Workshop Tracks

Escalante Canyons Marathon and 10 Miler

Marathon produces 4th time winner; Races yield excellent finishes by local runners

by kaNdee deGraw, Staff writer CEDAR CITY - Property is necessary for liberty. We are not trusted to govern ourselves. It is our duty to defend our Godgiven, unalienable rights. The constitution is no longer the law of the land. These were the overarching themes of theLegacy of Freedom Conference, held in conjunction with Western Freedom Festival. This one day event in Cedar City, Utah on October 23rd had more attendees than the festival organizers expected, prompting them to open additional rooms to seat the 40 -50 attendees in each lecture. There were 2 tracks of speeches and slideshows, with topics ranging from, “Is There a Proper Role of Government, If so, What is it?” to “The Power of

the Individual.” The more indepth, constitutionally-focused lectures were, in summation, focused on the federal government’s continued management of lands within specific Western states, which is beyond what the conference organizers believe are the original intentions of the pacts and ordinances used to create these various federal lands—BLM lands, most notably. David J. Miller, a Commissioner from Iron County, acting as one of the central organizers for the event, summarized the origins of the Freedom Festival. Freedom Conference Cont'd on page 2

BLM Hosts Public “Steppe Forward” Learning Sessions on Greater Sage-Grouse CEDAR CITY - The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Color Country District Office and Grand StaircaseEscalante National Monument is hosting several public learning sessions to provide information about the final greater sage-grouse conservation plan for Utah public lands. After an unprecedented, collaborative and sciencebased conservation effort, the BLM and U.S. Forest Service recently finalized Utah landuse plan amendments that will address threats to the greater sage-grouse by: minimizing surface disturbance; improving sagebrush habitat; and reducing the threat of rangeland fire. Unlike other states, Utah’s sage-grouse habitat is highly fragmented, so the Utah plan proposes management based on actual greater sagegrouse populations rather than just habitat. “Steppe Forward” learning session attendees can learn more about this management strategy and many others in a public, open house format. Meetings are open to the public and will be held as follows: November 4, 2015, Wednesday, 4-7 p.m. Hunter Conference Center Southern

Utah University Cedar City, Utah November 5, 2015, Thursday, 4-7 p.m. Quality Inn Conference Room 540 S. Main Street Richfield, Utah “These learning sessions give our local communities an opportunity to sit down with BLM staff and talk about the greater sage-grouse conservation plan, the management strategy, and how it will be implemented,” said Heather Whitman, Color Country District manager. For additional information regarding the “Steppe Forward” public learning sessions, please contact Elizabeth Burghard at 435-865-3006 in Cedar City; or in Richfield, call Wayne Wetzel at 435-8961501.

Marathon frontrunners. Gary Krugger and Andrew Knapik, the two top finishers in the marathon. Gary was first at 2:55:06 and Andrew second at 2:57:11. ESCALANTE - A clear fall day dawned on Escalante Canyons Marathon day, October 20. The bright skies and warm temperatures created challenging weather conditions – on top of the already challenging hills. Still, this race day brought some of the best competition and race times we’ve seen since the event began in 2012. Fifty marathoners converged at the start line near Hills & Hollows in Boulder and began their 26.2-mile run over Route 12 to Escalante City Park. The race got off to a fast start at daybreak, with two front runners, Gary Krugger and Andrew Knapik, entering into a hearty competition. This contest was particularly interesting, as Gary had won all three previous marathons. Waiting for their own race start farther down the course, at the Head of the Rocks overlook, were 55 10-Mile racers. We

doubt there’s a more beautiful and inspiring race start anywhere. At 9 a.m., the 10-Mile start gun sounded. The lead 10-Milers were the first to cross the finish line. Zachary Gertsch was the first men’s division finisher at 1:01:47, followed by Rich Webb and Christopher Crowly. The women’s division winners were not far behind. Winner Jennifer McLemore finished at 1:19:37, followed closely by Kensie Munson and Kate Wolpert. Jennifer and Kensie have close family ties to Escalante, and their families were justifiably proud of their fine performances! Other 10-Milers with Escalante-Boulder connections included Chris Hansen, physician’s assistant at Escalante’s Kazan Clinic, finishing fifth in the men’s division, Paul Habib, who with spouse Coco Kishi is restoring a home in Escalante, finishing sixth in the men’s divi-

sion, and, in the women’s division, Jordan Cottam and Nola Otterstrom. Jordan’s husband Chad ran the marathon and several other family members made important contributions as volunteers. Nola had previously won the women’s division of the marathon but could not compete for that title this year due to an injury. But being a dedicated runner she still ran the 10-Miler. Her husband Paul finished seventh in the men’s marathon. While the 10-mile frontrunners were finishing their race, Gary Krugger and Andrew Knapik were pulling away from the rest of the marathon runners and soon passed many of the 10-Milers. The lead changed several times. At mile 20 Andrew was in the lead when Gary summoned his inner strength and pulled away for the last time. Gary crossed the finish line at 2:55:06, setting a course

record and beating his old record by 2 minutes. Andrew finished in 2:57:11, and Skyler VanDerwerken finished third at a very respectable 3:18:35. The first woman finisher was Lara Rheinemann at 3:24:27. Second place in the marathon women’s division went to Natalya Melichar. Natalya recently moved to Escalante, where she owns and manages the Canyon’s Bed & Breakfast. Other marathon runners with local connections included Paul Otterstrom, Chad Cottam, and brother and sister team Tim Hughes and Ellie Anderson. New features for this year’s race included electronic chip timing, new start lines, and moving the finish line to Escalante City Park. We also had a video crew film the course and the race; after filming, the crew told us that this was the best race they’d ever been part of, including the Boston Marathon! A brand new feature was a drone doing the filming. At each start line, the drone hovered just in front of the start line and filmed the waving runners. The drone also captured an amazing view of runners on the Hog’s Back. When editing is completed we’ll be posting the video on our website to showcase the race, the extraordinary course, and the spirit of our community. This year we also had a drawing for a GoPro camera. The winner was marathoner Chet Butterfield. As always, our aid station volunteers were the best. Each year runners have commented that, while they had been attracted to the race by the area’s reputation for beautiful scenery and challenging terrain, what impressed them the most was the enthusiasm and friendliness

The Scariest Scarecrow

Marathon

Cont'd on back page

Local education and eradication efforts diminish the threat of invasive species CAPITOL REEF NATIONAL PARK - Its head is made of horehound; its legs are Russian olive. Thorny Russian thistle forms a heartless chest, while bony tamarisk fingers reach for any inch of bare ground. Chukars pecking at its feet ward off crows and other birds. A hat perched on its head gives it a deceivingly friendly appearance. Capitol Reef National Park’s scarecrow may just be the scariest in Wayne County. Russian olive, Russian thistle, horehound and tamarisk (also known as salt cedar) are all non-native, invasive plants: species brought by humans from other parts of the world to this region, where an aggressive nature allows them to push out native plants and rearrange the local ecology. Their dominance often creates a litany of problems for the humans who live beside them. To better understand how a few small weeds can inflict such damage, I took a walk around the Capitol Reef visitor center with Jennie Barclay, a biological aide at the park who has worked on nonnative plant control for several seasons. We didn’t have to go far. Not thirty feet from the building we discovered our first invasive, a small but mean-looking

plant known as puncturevine or goathead (Tribulus terrestris). Its seed is a four-pointed bur that does indeed look something like a goat’s horned head. The spines are sharp and sturdy enough to puncture bicycle tires, as well as dog pads and the feet of anyone walking around shoeless, and it’s toxic to sheep if eaten in large enough quantities.

“The mayor of Escalante, Jerry Taylor, and the commissioner for Garfield County, Leland Pollock, had a connection with Darrel Worley and they really got the ball rolling. More and more counties realized that they had the same questions and concerns and we thought we needed to get everyone together and get working on some solutions. Our intent is to create an annual event. The hope is to help bring awareness of our individual responsibility with citizenship. This nation is built on individual responsibility. We aren’t here to rile people up or air grievances. We can develop as a nation but we have to have the proper architecture. That architecture is outlined in the constitution and in our state constitutions. ” Several organizers of the event noted that neither Mayor Taylor nor Garfield County Commissioner Leland Pollock appeared to attend any of the Legacy of Freedom lecture tracks. The majority of the lectures were filled to capacity. Half of the lectures focused on Constitutional components of the federal control of lands in the West. Lectures covered the origins of federal lands to the evolution of the current uses and public input process. They delved into 250 year old ordinances that were instrumental in framing the structure we have now. In one of the more stirring lectures, “The Power of the Individual,” Bryan Hyde implored the audience to learn more about issues they cared about before engaging in conversations with people. He warned people of the dangers of trying too hard to be right, when it is better to ‘change minds slowly’. John Pratt, in his workshop “Proper Role of Government” quoted extensively from the Jefferson Bible, during his lecture, with illustrations regarding the

separation of church and state and the various ways Jefferson’s quotes have been pulled from context in regards to his religious beliefs. He spoke emotionally of the need to include Jesus’ teaching in all dealings, especially those of governance. He also gave the history of several of the fascist symbols used in various government buildings and documents, which he believes ties the current government to fascist ideologies. Bill Howell, in his workshop on the "Origin of the Federal Trust Duty" gave a very detailed and in-depth overview of his research on his belief that there is no constitutional authority that the federal government has to retain public lands. “We are being betrayed. If we want to become a state entire, we are only a fractional state right now, with 67% of our lands being under federal jurisdictional territory. We have been denied statehood, be have been denied equality with the other states. We are not going to be given equality unless we demand it. Fredrick Douglas says, “Power never yields, but to a demand.” He urged his audience to learn more and to support candidates that understood the constitution. The event received some criticism pre-show when it was revealed that taxes were being used to fund the event, in part. David Miller clarified, “Let’s look at the money we are using, we are using transient room taxes. Which is money specifically for promoting tourism, cultures, and to promote the culture of the area, as well as recreation and various other activities. We addressed all of these things in our program today.” All in all the Western Freedom Festival educational conference’s was low on strategic planning content and had few dissenting voices. It was heavy on discussions regarding perceptions of constitutional law, patriotism and rhetoric.

What Attendees had to say about the Western Freedom Festival Legacy of Freedom Conference Our educational system is dumbing us down, they don’t want us to know our rights. They don’t want us to know the power we have as a people and if they keep us that way we are in trouble. We will be governed. —Derrel Spencer When you are speaking with someone with whom you disagree you must speak to them from a place of love. You will not change their minds about anything if you don’t. Think of it as planting a seed. You plant and walk away and let it grow. —Radio personality Bryan Hyde, "The Power of the Individual – What can I do?" How things are supposed to work in this government, is something we were never taught. I am happy to have the opportunity to learn the correct way. It makes me a more responsible citizen. —Ben Lewis, Sweetwater Ranch Courage is born of knowledge. Rights we don’t know we have are no better than rights we don’t have. Rights we don’t exercise are no better than rights we don’t have. There is a very important election next year that we need to hire people that have courage born of knowledge to, as President Kennedy says, ‘… protect the liberties of the individual. —Rep. Ken Ivory, West Jordan Republican The constitution has become a document that people feel is outdated and not in touch with our current times. And they don’t take the constitution in consideration when they are imposing legislation or rules or in this bureaucracy. It seems that people have forgotten about this core document that has governed us so well for so long. This festival was worth my time. —Lee Bracken, Mayor of Enterprise Utah

Diagnosis of Attention Deficit Disorder with or without hyperactivity can be challenging, as other issues can appear the same as ADD. Knowing the actual cause or causes of the negative behavior is important, as treating an anxious child with the usual stimulants used for ADD will actually make that child more upset and inattentive. How is the diagnosis of ADD/ADHD or another condition made? There are a few specifics that help to point to Attention Deficit: • The child has to show the behaviors in two different settings: home & school • The behaviors started presenting themselves before age 12 years old • Behaviors are inappropriate for age: it is normal for a 3 y.o. to have a tantrum but not a 13 y.o. • There have to be multiple different signs of ADD/ ADHD, not just one or two If your child does not have ADHD, or the behaviors are not well controlled on ADHD medications, then what else might be going on? Recent research has shown the following enlightening statistics: • 33% of kids with ADHD also have anxiety issues — symptoms always present, they avoid certain situations, there are obvious triggers • 50% of kids with ADHD also have Oppositional Defiance Disorder—persistent in all settings, defiance of authority, frequent back talk, spiteful, aggressive • 20% of kids with ADHD also have a substance abuse problem—started after age 12 y.o., intermittent signs of behaviors, abilities decline, social withdrawal Often by the time a diagnosis of Attention Deficit is made, the child has been struggling and developed some negative behaviors in response to these struggles. So it becomes necessary to deal with all issues involves. If there are drugs, then the child has to be in a situation where they are not available. If the child is anxious, this needs to be addressed in therapy, likely family and individual, and possibly medications started to help bring this in line. If there is Oppositional Defiant Disorder then this will need addressed. Just addressing the ADD/ADHD will not resolve the other issues. Once we are treating the Attention Deficit, this is again done on a layered approach. There are skills the child can learn to help control their own behaviors and make it easier for them to concentrate. Many times, however, medication is

required so that the student can be successful and function in society. There are a few different types of medications used for treating the ADD/ADHD. The non-stimulant most often used is Strattera, which increases levels of norepinephrine in the brain. There are some old medications which have been found to help with ADD, Intuniv or Tenex which decreases anxiety and excitability, thus hyperactivity, and Amantidine which also increases levels of norepinephrine. Then there are the stimulants, which work by increasing the function of dopamine in the brain. There are long-acting stimulants like Vyvanse and Adderall XR which last for 8-12 hours, and there are short-acting stimulants which work immediately and last 4-6 hours. All of these medications have the potential to help, but every child is different, not only in their type of ADD but also in their physical response to medications. Often it takes a few weeks for the drugs to build up enough chemical change to make a difference. The stimulants are the fastest acting and with pure ADD/ ADHD there is often improvement in the matter of a couple of days. And when the stimulants do not show any effect within a couple of weeks, then it is time to question what other diagnosis there might be. The medications also all have potential side effects. Stimulants can cause anxiety and weight loss, they are easily abused by non-ADHD kids. Strattera can cause stomach upset. Intuniv can cause tiredness and low blood pressure. So every medication has to be monitored for effect and side effects. Often there is a balance judgment that has to be made as to whether the benefits out way the risks. Ultimately, helping a child with ADD/ADHD is a multilayered task. These are some books which may help in tackling the complicated issue of a child with Attention Deficit Disorder: • The Tough Kid Tool Box • Smart but Scattered • Late, Lost and Unprepared

BV Elementary Goes for Gold During the month of September, Bryce Valley schools participated in “Going Gold in September”, which was spearheaded by Shayne Chynoweth. September is the month to raise awareness for childhood cancer, and gold is the color that represents it. The students participated in a “Change War” by bringing their loose change to school during the month of September. The 4th Grade won the war at Bryce Valley Elementary and the 7th Grade won at Bryce Valley High School with Mr. Layne LeFevre and Janece Pollock, Bryce Valley Elementary Principal and Secretary, matching the winning total of the 4th Grade. Together, PreK through 12th grade, including faculty, were able to raise over $3,500.00 for childhood cancer. This money was donated to childhood cancer patients and for research to find cures for childhood cancer. On September 25, Bryce Valley Elementary also participated in a “Pajama Day”

Wayne School District “Restricted Funds”

School budgets and budgeting are a complicated process. An important aspect of school funding are categories of “Restricted Funding.” These are funds that may only be used for specific purposes. Special Education funds may only be spent to serve students who have been placed on an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) based on very specific qualifying criteria. Title I funds are a source of Federal funds based on the percentage of free and reduced school lunch participation. These funds must be used specifically to support reading and math instruction in the elementary schools. K-3 reading funds must be used specifically in those grades to support the reading goal of all students reading on grade level by third grade. One important criteria of these funds, is that they must support the instructional programs and not supplant funds from the general school budget. Through the course of the discussions held related to the District tax increase proposals, many questions have been raised related to these programs. Some examples include: “Why do you hire so many paraprofessionals?” “Why not use the money paid to paraprofessionals to fill the teacher positions that have been eliminated?” Often it may appear to the public that funds are being used inappropriately, or spent on what may appear as wasteful and unnecessary. As noted above, these funds are “restricted” and not intended to replace funds from the general M & O budget. They are restricted to certain schools or programs, and must be spent as per specific guidelines. They are an important and critical element of school funding, and allow the District to hire paraprofessionals to work closely with teachers and students in the classroom, along with other important instructional efforts. The School Board and Administration encourage you to be informed with accurate and truthful information. Please call, come in, or request information from the School District office personnel on these or other programs, budgets, or school funding issues. — Superintendent BurkeTorgerson, Wayne County School District

Wayne Baseball Takes the 1A State Championship Title!

in honor of those children who have to spend days, even months in the hospital for treatment, usually in their pajamas. Each class made cards for patients at Primary Children’s Hospital and let off gold balloons to show their love and support to the children and families who have been affected by and will continue to be affected by childhood cancer. Along with these events at the Elementary, Bryce Valley High School Volleyball team participated in a “Go Gold” game to raise awareness. Every day, approximately 250 children around the world die from cancer, and 91,250 children lose their life to cancer every year. Yet childhood cancer is greatly underfunded. Bryce Valley wanted to make

a difference by dedicating the month of September to the children and their families who have been affected by childhood cancer, as well as their own heroes, Hayden Adkins who is a Junior at Bryce Valley High School and Lonnie Jace “Jace Bud” Chynoweth, who would have started Kindergarten at Bryce Valley Elementary this year. —Samie Ott, BVES Fifth Grade Teacher

What a great end to an exciting season! That is how the Wayne baseball team could describe 2015. Wayne is the 2015 1A state baseball champions. Region 20 was very competitive this season with many close games. With five closely-matched teams and only three teams advancing to the state tournament, each region game was very important. Piute, Panguitch, and Wayne advanced to the State tournament. Wayne and Panguitch played in one semi-final game while Piute and Tabiona played in the other semi-final game. Wayne and Tabiona advanced to the finals with Wayne taking the title with a 16-4 victory. The Wayne team was met with lights flashing and sirens blasting as they were escorted into the County. — Coach Scott Ellett

WHS Anti-Bullying Ambassadors Reach Out to Loa Elementary

On Wednesday, October 21, the Wayne School District Anti-Bullying Ambassadors (Tegan New, Ashtynn Stringham, Ethan Lee, and Tyler Chappell) went to Loa Elementary School to present information about bullying and how to be a good friend. courteSy aShtyNN StriNGhaM We visited all grades, K-5. The Tyler Chappell, Ashtynn Stringham, Ethan Lee, and Tegan 4th and 5th graders watched New with Mrs. Laura Brinkerhoff's 1st grade class. a power point about being a good friend and answered questions about the differences between bullying and teasing and how to be a good friend to everyone. Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders listened to the Ambassadors read the book The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin by Joe Troiano. After the Ambassadors read the book, they asked questions concerning bullying and being a friend. Everyone who answered questions received a sticker or a friendship bracelet. It was a success! We are going to try and go back once per quarter to give more information. The Ambassadors really had fun, and we felt like the elementary students appreciated us spending time with them. — Ashtynn Stringham

Front Row: Joe Vasquez, Trenton Stowe, Bosten Englestead, Ian Anderson, Jonah Shoppe, Garrett Finch and Conner Anderson Last Wednesday the Bobcat Cross Country Team went to the State at Sugarhouse Park in Salt Lake City. The boys team led by the three seniors: Conner Anderson, Ian Anderson and Garrett Finch finished the grueling long and hard course and came out on top with a State Championship sweeping the competition. Conner and Ian were both quoted many times in The Deseret News. These two brothers really pulled it out this year for themselves and their team. The Andersons were tired of watching the girls win state the last three years and then settling for the second place. I was astonished at their leadership and dedication to their team this year, and you saw that all of their hard work paid off for them and the entire team at the State meet. Jonah Shopee placed 3rd with an astonishing time of 17:05; he was then followed by Trenton Stowe in 4th. They were then followed by Conner Anderson in 10th place. This is the first year the Panguitch boys have had three runners in the top ten. Ian Anderson took a strong 16th place, Garrett Finch then took 22nd, Bosten Englestead in 23rd, and then finally Joe Vasquez in 30th. Like I said the Panguitch Boys made a sweeping win with 47 points, the Parowan Rams finished with a score of 70. Congratulations to the boys, and a huge thank you to Danny Yardley for leading, supporting and running with the team all year! He is an inspiration to the entire team. Also Panguitch had 3 Seniors qualify for Academic All State; the Senior Boys who qualified for this Award are Drew Fischer, Garrett Finch and Makoy Dodds. Great job boys! Next up is the lady cats. Whittni Orton finished her Senior season with winning the State Title four consecutive years; she also set a new course record of 18:29. Whittni has had so much dedication and persistence the last four years; she never missed a practice and always ran extra miles after every practice. She is quite an amazing athlete, and she has a heart of gold to go with it. Congratulations to her and all of her accomplishments. The lady cats put their hearts and souls into this final race but came up only two points short of a State Championship. The runners for the girls team were: in 11th place Brittney Henrie, followed by Kapri Ortion in 12th and Corynn Anderson in 16th. These three freshmen girls did the impossible this year. They pulled through after the lady cats two top runners Cat Howell and Makayla Dalton had to

stop their training due to their injuries. Corynn was then followed by Makayla Dalton in 21st; she was followed by Brenley Veater in 31st and Cat Howell in 36th. After winning the state championship four years in a row the girls were heartbroken to lose by only two points. The lady cats put everything they had into this race and you could see it when they all gathered at the finish line to welcome their last runner in. The girls faces were streamed with tears as they received their second place trophy, but they have no reason to hang their heads because they all ran the race of their lives.I myself know how very proud of them everyone is. The girls coach Genny Houston was very pleased with the girls performance. She said that, “All I wanted was for them to do their best, and they did that today. That is all I could ever ask for.” Congratulations to these amazing young ladies! Also this week the The Bobcat Volleyball team had Region in Bryce Valley. The girl’s first and second games were against Escalante and Wayne.They easily won in

three sets. The girls played for the region title agents the Milford Tigers. The girls were a little nervous at first because earlier in the season the girls barely beat the Tigers in five close sets, but thanks to all the great coaching and dedication from Troy and Annemarie Norris the lady cats were able to pull through to win in four sets for the region title. Be sure to come watch these girls at State on the 30th and 31st of October. The girls will play their first game at 10am at Utah Valley University, Good Luck Girls! Also Panguitch High had five of their six seniors qualify for Academic All Region, these ladies have shown dedication in the classroom and also on the volleyball court these Senior Girls are:Taylor Bennett, Whittni Orton, Makayla Dalton, Marlee Torgersen and Brianne Bremner. Panguitch had more girls qualify for this award than any other school in region 20. Taylor Bennett, Whittni Orton, and Chestney Campbell were chosen to represent PHS on the All-Region team. Congratulations to these young ladies for representing our beloved Panguitch High School.

On October 9th and 10th the lady bobcats J.V. team made a clean sweep winning all of their games at the Sevier Valley tournament. On Friday they started out strong by beating Millard, Richfield, and Emery. Saturday they started the day off with a win against Kanab, Grand, and North Sampete which placed them into the gold bracket. There they took on Enterprise and ended up with the win placing them in the championship game against Rich. The girls all played their hardest and came together as a team for their last win, resulting in first place overall. The tournament created many memories that will last a lifetime and will never be forgotten. —Kodee Fullmer

OBITUARIES

Hanksville and Bloated Bovines by aduS f. dorSey ii OCTOBER 24, 2015 When it comes to living anywhere, life often times has its rewards and its challenges, let’s take Hanksville for an example… For those that are unfamiliar with life where people see the morning sun before anyone else in Wayne County does, that far away place beyond the reef that no one seems to know or talk much about. Well there are some incredible people and happenings that take place down there, you know the one, the town that transects the junction of highway 24 and 95, a place where you can get gas and a Mountain Dew and pay for it in a hole in the rock. Who would have ever thought? Putting my life on the line I would be willing to bet a nickel that 95% of up county folk know little of what happens in Hanksville. And putting as much as 10 cents on the table I am near positive that 99% of the people in Hanksville could care less what the up county folks think. I mean Kevin Hatch comes up from there every day and is as tight lipped about it as you can get about happenings in Hanksville. I think you have to take some kind of blood oath if you live down there. It doesn’t take a whole lot of mental effort to realize that the folks in Hanksville march in any parade to a different kind of drummer. In fact Hanksvillians have been known to hold a parade of their own with out as much as an invitation to the Wayne County highlanders to attend. “Rightly so,” the famous Barbra Ekker once announced as she pranced around her yard in pair of pedal pushers rolled up to her knees. If you knew Barbra or know Jason Ekker you know what I am talking about. George

The down county junction that marches to a different kind of drummer. Coombs knows about Hanksville too, and he ain’t to shy to tell you that if there is any kind of competition in Hanksville there is gonna be a Ekker in it, and one of them is sure to win a prize, “That is just the way it is in Hanksville!” says my ole friend George. I can honestly say that I am no real expert on Hanksville, by no means, but what I have seen happen down there in the east desert over the past few years I can attest to, and it is now my belief that there is life in the here after. And as part of my testament, and I hope Ernie won’t arrest me next time I have to pass through Hanksville in my Subaru for openly saying so, things are happening in Hanksville, and life is good. Just stop in for a sandwich at the Slickrock Grill sometime and just try and say it ain’t so. And what about that unlucky black dead cow on the side of the road near the boys ranch on highway 24, damn, I hope no one got hurt when they

hit her. Surely the investigating officer on that accident had to be scratching his head while filling out the police report? A dumb deer, or a blind raccoon maybe, but a wayward black cow on that section of highway where there is never none, it boggles the mind of every cowboy in Loa, Lyman, Bicknell and Fremont. I wonder how the Wayne County public information officer Kassidee Brown explained that one to the Salt Lake Tribune and how the new guy on the state road crew is going to pick it up without it popping? Makes my nose quiver and my body shiver at the very thought of it. And all the scarecrows that are displayed through out Wayne County, I don’t dare look at them for fear I will dream about all those creepy characters in my attempt at a good nights sleep. I have trouble enough catching some shut eye these days worrying about all the potential Bambi poachers in my front yard and now there are low life thieves lurking around under the cover of darkness. Really, and I mean really, do we have really have to start putting a lock on our stuff so the stupid among us won’t steal it? Don’t the stealers know people in Wayne County have guns by their bedside with big ass bullets that go in them? If you are a stealer and haven’t figured out yet that you are going to get caught sooner or later, well it is best that you just go ahead and turn yourself into the Sheriff for just being stupid because more than likely someone you know is going to do it for you. That is why they call it a reward and people deserve it. My advice is that you take that stuff back to its rightful owner right now before you end up at the point of the mountain with a bar of soap hanging around your neck on a piece of rope and you wishing you had eyes in the back of your head. Speaking of stupid things people can do…

There is a lot of talk about the tax increase for the schools in Wayne County and like everybody else I know it is a hot button subject. But it has to and it is going to happen and if you have ever spent anytime in our schools like I have, lord knows they need it. Our kids are worth what ever it takes to educate them in the ways of the world. If you are wavering even a little bit about what to do go volunteer at the elementary school sometime and see for your self how far just a little bit of help can go. You can’t put a price tag on a contributing citizen, sit in on a county court session sometime and see how much it is costing you to send an idiot to jail. With out question I am voting for it because I too know how important education is, I mean I am still taking classes to try and figure out what it is I want to be when I grow up. Ring that morning school bell, Colton Jeffs and I are always ready.

ESCALANTE - Thelma Wilcock Marsh, 94, passed away peacefully at her home in Escalante on October 25, 2015, surrounded by her loving family. She was born June 13, 1921 in Escalante to William Daniel and Ruth Cottam Wilcock. She married Dale Marsh, September 6, 1938 in Brigham City. The marriage was solemnized in the Manti Temple, June 27, 1949. He preceded her in death December 12, 1981. As a faithful member of the LDS Church, she served in many Church callings. She was an avid supporter of her husband as he served in the community, church and political affairs. She served as secretary for the Steed Sawmill for a number of years. Thelma was a good homemaker, a skilled seamstress and she produced many beautiful quilts and doilies. Also, she took pride in her gardens and was a hard worker. She is survived by her two children: Sharon Dale (Eve) Marsh; Kathleen (Warren) Woolsey; 8 grandchildren; 29 great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her husband; parents; daughterin-law, Shirley Marsh; grandchildren, Brian and Karen Marsh; sisters, Virginia Bauer and Retha Shurtz.

ond set of seeds—fine and papery—that is viable for up to ten years. These characteristics give the invasives a leg up, but they may not provide the same sort of nutrient load for wildlife as natives do. Additionally, many invasives are annual species with shallow root systems that provide less protection against erosion; the native plants they replace, such as galleta grass and alkali sacaton, are better at stabilizing soils. Capitol Reef’s efforts to counteract the spread of invasive plants go back many years. The Lake Mead Exotic Plant Management Team, a National Park Service task force, has returned each year for over a decade, battling tamarisk and Russian olive with chainsaws and herbicides (the “hack and squirt” method). Having taken on different parts of the park each year, they’re now going back and treating resprouting trees. “I can definitely

see results,” says Duane Coleman, their squad leader. Gary Lenhart, a biological technician at the park from 2000 until 2014, was vigilant in preventing tamarisk and other non-native species, including those classified by Utah State as “noxious weeds”, from gaining a foothold in the park. In 2012, when the park’s Scenic Drive was resurfaced, nearly 8,000 native plants grown in a nursery in Colorado from seed collected in the park were planted in the disturbed areas along the road’s margins. Jennie and other park employees and volunteers keep up a constant fight to keep non-native plants from invading these newly planted areas, plucking them before they can establish themselves. And this month, two members of the Utah Conservation Corps are working with Jennie to revegetate areas disturbed by construction projects with native seeds collected in the park. To an outside visitor, this region can look like a barren

expanse of rock and dirt. Those familiar with the landscape, however, find it teeming with life. One of the most devastating consequences of invasive species is the loss of diversity and beauty, and the disappearance of old friends like the shadscale, just beginning to turn rosy in the fall weather. What can those who wish to protect their home from invaders do against such a formidable foe? Plenty, says Jennie. We can familiarize ourselves with these plants, training our eyes to discern native from non-native plants, and working to eliminate the latter. We can walk carefully so our footprints don’t disturb the fragile soil crust which, once broken, is an opening for invasive seed. We can check shoes, laces, and pant legs for clinging burs trying to hitch a ride, and burn or bag and throw in the garbage any we find and so they don’t succeed. Invasive species are not a new threat to southern Utah, but their onslaught never lets up; those defending against them must continually be on their guard. In Capitol Reef and throughout Wayne and Garfield Counties, people are taking a stand against these outsiders. The scarecrow outside Capitol Reef’s visitor center may not be able to scare away any crows, but by educating visitors it may be able to scare away some invasive species, preserving and protecting the diversity of native plants for generations to come. —Sophie Westacott, Park Guide, Capitol Reef National Park

tHe lAuGhiNg New Boat pOiNt!! Move It

Busy in the yard one afternoon, my father paused to admire our neighbor's new boat. "She sure is a beauty, Charles," Dad said. Knowing that Charles's wife was conservative when it came to spending money, my father asked, "Was it expensive?" "The boat itself wasn't so bad," Charles replied. "But the extras really hurt." "You mean things like water skis, life jackets and trailer?" my father asked. "No," our neighbor said with a sigh. "I mean the new carpet, the kitchen cabinets and the living-room furniture."

Good Question

I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges.

Body Parts

A pediatrician in town always plays a game with some of his young patients to put them at ease and test their knowledge of body parts. One day, while pointing to a little boy's ear, the doctor asked him, "Is this your nose?" Immediately the little boy turned to his mother and said, "Mom, I think we'd better find a new doctor!"

I love the self-checkout aisle at my super market. The only problem comes when I leave an item on the scanner too long and the robo-voice scolds, "Please move your whole milk (or whatever) to the bagging area." Ordinarily, I just ignore it. But on my last shopping trip, I moved fast when the voice began shouting, "Please move your pork butt."

CD's

After I bought my mother a compact-disc player and some CD's, she was excited to discover she no longer needed to rewind or fast- forward tapes or move the needle on her record player. Knowing she was not that technically astute, I called her a few days later to see how she was managing. "Fine. I listened to Shania Twain this morning," she said. "The whole CD?" I asked. "No," she replied, "just one side."

No Tuition

After being retired for a couple of years and completing all the jobs my wife had lined up for me, I began to feel somewhat useless and decided to enroll in a couple of courses at the local adult-education school. I noted, upon registration, that there was no tuition fee for a person over 60. As I handed my tediously-filled-out papers to the clerk, I announced, "I'm 63." Then, pulling out my wallet, I asked if she wanted to see my driver's license. She replied, "No, that's okay." A little surprised, I asked, "Oh, do I look honest?" "No," she answered. "You look 63."

Speed Limits

Sign on the outskirts of a small town: "Our speed limit is twenty-five with a fine of three dollars per mile for faster driving. Pick out a speed you can afford."

of the volunteers. The finish line was one of the true highlights of the race. Three young beauty queens wearing their crowns and sashes presented medals to each finisher. Medal presenters included Tayler Duthie, Miss Garfield County, Brenley Veater, Miss Garfield County Outstanding Teen, and McKynlee Cottam, Little Miss Garfield County. We noted several runners coming back for a picture with these young ladies! Tayler will represent Garfield County in the Miss Utah Pageant and we are certain that every runner who crossed the finish line will be rooting for her! An undeniable high point of the marathon was the last place finisher, Pauline Howes, who finished in 7 hours and 14 minutes. Pauline and her husband Bill, who hail from Birmingham, England, had only last week run the St. George

Marathon. Pauline slipped on the first turn in the race, badly scraping her knee. Nonetheless, with help from our able EMT crew, and encouragement from her husband Bill and Sue Bassett, who walked with her for the last portion of the race, she finished the race, her 375th marathon! While recovering after the race, she was overheard to say that “of the 375 races I have run this was the hardest.” The night before the race, runners and community members were treated to a delicious pre-race dinner at the Escalante City Park Pavilion. The dinner was prepared by Louise Barnes, aided by Marian Casse, Coco Kishi and Paul Habib, with Paul doing double duty as runner and dinner server! This year’s dinner was particularly well attended and received rave reviews not only for the pasta entrees but for the homemade pies. We truly appreciate Louise’s willingness to share her culinary talents with the community. We extend our congratu-

TORREY - If the big bad wolf came huffing and puffing into Torrey, his first stop might be a greenhouse made of straw under construction in town. Despite his previous success with certain pigs of note, this straw structure would be impervious to his attempts at blowhard demolition. His efforts would be in vain. Not so the efforts of the folks building that greenhouse. They were learning the principles of building with straw bales and earthen plaster at a recent four-day workshop sponsored by the Entrada Institute. Hosted at the home of Scott Smith and Mary Bedingfieldsmith, eight workshop

participants learned about building with bales from Bill and Athena Steen, leading experts in strawbale construction and natural plasters from Canelo, Arizona. The Steens drew from decades of experience to teach about this alternative building technique—from foundation and framing, wiring and plumbing, to stacking bale walls and finishing with plaster made from local earth. Beginning with a presentation on the history of and possible designs for strawbale structures, and a tour of Scott and Mary’s strawbale home, the group then got hands-on experience by stacking 56

bales of barley straw within a previously constructed post and beam frame to create walls for the greenhouse. Bamboo poles and baling twine were used to stabilize the entire affair. Workshop participants spent the last days making plaster from clay, straw and sand, and then applying it as an inch-thick coat to the interior and exterior walls. While the final coats of plaster and finish work must still be completed, the builders left Torrey feeling successful, informed and maybe even inspired to raise strawbale structures of their own someday—all bigbad-wolf-proof. —Mary Bedingfieldsmith
