What To Do When the Cold Hits
Thursday, October 30, 2014 • Issue # 1072
Old Tree Finds New Home
How Did You Spend Last Week’s 168 Hours?
Part of a series by the Escalante Preparedness Committee GARFIELD & WAYNE COUNTIES - The current Farmer’s Almanac predicts an exceptionally cold winter for 2014/15 with other extreme weather related forecasts. In 2011, Governor Herbert designated the first week of November as Winter Weather Preparedness Week in Utah. Therefore, this month’s preparedness focus is on dealing with the cold. Many homes built over the past 50-60 years have been designed without a fireplace or wood stove for heat. Many fireplaces are for aesthetics rather than function. So what preparations are necessary if the grid goes down or your furnace malfunctions during a cold period? Or in another likely scenario in Utah, you are stuck in your car during cold weather. First, consider why we need to stay warm. Other than for comfort, staying at a certain temperature is vital to our health. Hypothermia is when our bodily functions slow down as the body’s core temperature drops. Mental function is most affected initially. There is a direct relationship in the decrease of brain function and the decrease in body temperature; the colder the body, the less the brain function. The fastest way to become hypothermic is a combination of cold temperatures with wind and rain. Wind will suck the heat out of your body 25x faster than just cold temperatures. The warning signs of hypothermia, low body temperature, are uncontrollable shivering, memory loss, disorientation, incoherence, slurred speech, drowsiness, and apparent exhaustion. If these systems are observed, take the person's temperature. If it is below 95F (35C), seek medical care immediately! If medical care is not available, begin warming the person
slowly to raise their core body temperature. You can do this by rubbing the skin, giving warm drinks, layering with blankets, and placing your body next to theirs to share your body heat. Prolonged exposure to the cold can result in damage done to skin tissue in the form of frostbite. When the cold causes your core temperature to drop, your body will kick into survival mode by cutting off circulation to the outer extremities such as lips, nose, toes, ears, fingers. When warming a person, focus on the core temperature, not the extremities. Hypothermia and frostbite are results of our weather. Winter storms are considered deceptive killers because most deaths are indirectly related to the storm. Fatalities occur in traffic accidents on icy roads, from heart attacks while shoveling snow, and from hypothermia due to prolonged exposure to cold. Of fatalities related to ice and snow: • About 70% occur in automobiles • About 25% are people caught out in the storm • Majority are males over 40 years old • Of deaths related to exposure to cold: • 50% are people over 60 years old • Over 75% are males • About 20% occur inside the home Let’s lower these statistics through thoughtful planning. Before traveling, prepare your vehicle for inclement weather. Fill the tank, check your tire treads, and have chains and/ or kitty litter to prevent getting stuck. If things become extreme, think igloo. Snow is What to Do

Kendall Farnsworth, Park Manager at Escalante Petrified Forest State Park, sits with the 150 million year old tree that is now on exhibit at the state park. Farnsworth says that locals who would like to come out to the park and check out the tree can enter the park free-of-charge. ESCALANTE - It’s true: trees are not normally known to move. But a particular tree of a certain age and beauty last Tuesday found itself trekking a few short miles from where it has lain in the sand for the past 150 million (or so) years to a new concrete pedestal at Escalante Petrified Forest State Park. The 50-foot tree, one of the largest known specimens of petrified wood in our area, was unearthed and removed from a BLM-managed area southwest of Escalante known locally as “Little Desert.” Kendall Farnsworth, Park Manager at the Escalante Petrified Forest State Park spearheaded the project, obtaining permission and permits from BLM to remove the tree for a new display at the state park. Having already naturally fractured into 10 or 11 pieces, the tree was carefully hoisted piece by piece by crane and trucked to the state park where it will serve as a dramatic example of a petrified tree for park visitors. The two-day project was conducted by Utah State Parks. Thirty-five feet of the tree had been lying out in the open, but top 15 feet had been buried and needed to be excavated prior to the move. The root ball, which is five and a half feet in diameter and weighs 2 tons, was the toughest part of the move.

According to Farnsworth, the project fulfills several purposes. One is to protect the tree itself, which had been vandalized in several places, and the root ball was beginning to erode away from the rest of the tree. Farnsworth stated that, “The park has the facility to display, protect and interpret the rock for visitors.

PANGUITCH - Have you ever thought about how you spent last week’s 168 hours? Add it up: How many hours sleeping, eating, working, exercise, TV, Social media’s Facebook, twitter, instagram, family time? Where are you spending most of your time? If you add it up, most find they spend very little time with their family and kids. Spending time with our kids is a very important part of their lives. According to research the more time we spend with our kids the less likely they will participate in substance abuse and anti-social behaviors. One of the best’s ways to get in the quality family time is eating dinner together. This is becoming something so important that September was named as National Eat Dinner Together Month. Panguitch Prevention Coalition sponsored an event in May to encourage this. At the annual Community Family night a free BBQ Burger dinner was offered to those attending, music was provided by some classes from the elementary school. There were bouncy toys for the children and an entertaining, educational presentation by Liz Edmonds, a very enthusiastic “Food Nanny”. Citing research that shows teens who regular eat as a family around the dinner table 5-7 times a week are 33% less likely to use alcohol. Liz said families should eat dinner together at least 3times a week. A scrumptious meal and pleasant conversation will help main tin physical and mental health. The Foo d Nanny then showed how to create a two-week meal plan for cooking dinner 5 nights a week. Making and using such a plan insures a meaningful dinner time the entire family, and can reduce the grocery bill by 50%. The Panguitch Preven168 Hours

SALT LAKE CITY - On behalf of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) commitment to strengthening rural economies, USDA Rural Development State Director for Utah Dave Conine announced new data highlighting USDA investments in rural Utah. This data summarizes specific USDA investments in rural Utah’s businesses, manufacturing, energy, water and other infrastructure development. It also outlines how USDA is helping rural Utah attract businesses and families by investing in housing and broadband. This information is part of USDA’s national "Made in Rural America" report illustrating the impact of USDA investments in rural America. The report for Utah may be found at http:// www.usda.gov/documents/ UtahRuralMade.pdf. "Supporting our ru-

ral communities benefits all Utahns" said Conine. "USDA has made dedicated investments in manufacturing, energy and small businesses in rural Utah. At the same time, we are bringing reliable services like water, housing and broadband to make these same communities attract and retain a talented workforce. This data shows that the entrepreneurial spirit is strong in rural Utah." In Utah, USDA has made investments to help 99 rural businesses thrive and grow, including $24 million investment in rural manufacturing alone. Rural manufacturing supports 6,033 jobs in Utah. In addition, USDA has helped 15,143 families purchase or repair homes and has invested $66.4 million to support efficient water support, treatment and storage facilities, and wastewater treatment systems. This investment
has improved the health of thousands of rural Utahns who now have access to clean water and reliable sanitation. More information is available at www.usda.gov/opportunity. The “Made in Rural America” report reflects USDA’s efforts to strengthen the "four pillars" of a new economy in rural America by developing a robust bio-based economy; promoting exports and production agriculture fueled by increased productivity and research; encouraging conservation including land management, stewardship and outdoor recreational opportunities; and building a strong local and regional food system to harness entrepreneurial innovation and help small and medium-sized family farms succeed in rural America. ―USDA Rural Development Agency

without a heat source, it is important to insulate the body. Most of a body’s heat is lost through the head and neck so hats and scarves are a quick solution. Additionally, gloves, thermals, wool socks, and layers of lightweight loose clothing will keep you from feeling the cold outdoors, and indoors when the house loses its ambient heat. (Costco has merino wool socks 4/$12. Best buy I’ve found so far.) Being prepared in the home includes having plenty of dry wood stacked near the home or space heaters such as the Little Buddy propane heater which is safe indoors. Kerosene/oil heaters are also beneficial. Simply burning candles will increase the room’s heat. If the heat source is limited in your home, preserve what you have by sealing off a room or smaller area by hanging a quilt over windows and doorways. Cover windows with plastic to minimize drafts. Sleep in heavy sleeping bags which retain heat better than just blankets. Use bivvy sacks over the sleeping bags for additional warmth. Pitching a tent adds a fun element for children and helps trap body heat into a small space. Hand and foot warmers beat the chill. You can also heat large rocks in an outside fire pit, transfer them to a dutch oven for transporting indoors, and place in the room to be heated. The stones will safely emit heat for several hours. Living in Utah is a grand adventure with its diverse scenery and changing seasons. Being prepared for what the winter season will bring will enable us to enjoy this experience, rather than be threatened by it. Be safe; be happy. http://www.readynutrition.com ―Karen Munson, Escalante Preparedness Committee

UM Creek Access Management Project Scoping Notice The Fremont River Ranger District (the District) of the Fishlake National Forest is proposing an access management project that improves the condition of upper UM Creek watershed. The proposed project area is located approximately 7 miles northeast of Fish Lake in T24S, R3E, and Sections 17, 20, 29, 32 and 33 SLB&M. Elevations of the project area fall between 9,400 feet and 10,400 feet. It is in Forest Plan Management Area 6B, where management emphasis is on livestock grazing. Portions of the proposal fall within the UM Plateau – Mt. Terrill Roadless Area #08-308 and the Mt. Terrill Undeveloped Area (Fishlake Undeveloped Area Evaluation 32 DRAFT 12/06/2004). Two motorized routes exist within the proposed project area. Forest Road 043 (FR043) is designated “road, not maintained for passenger car” and Sawmill Creek-Black Flat ATV Trail 2043 (trail 2043) is designated “trail open to vehicles 50 inches or less in width.” FR043 is part of the nationally recognized Great Western motorized trail. Trail 2043 is part of the Gooseberry motorized trail system. From 1996 to 2000 Colorado River cutthroat trout were reintroduced into the UM Creek drainage. Colorado River cutthroat trout are a Forest Service designated sensitive species in the Intermountain Region. At the time of introduction, the Left Fork of UM Creek was whirling disease positive while the Right Fork of UM Creek was whirling disease negative. Whirling disease is caused by a parasite that is damaging to trout populations. Whirling disease can be transferred to previously uninfected waterways via unclean equipment, transfer of water, and movement of infected fish. Sedimentation is known to exacerbate whirling disease. In 2000, bridges were built on trail 2043 to prevent motorized vehicles from picking up infected mud and water in Left Fork of UM Creek and spreading whirling disease to the Right Fork of UM Creek. The bridges were not effective due to the high water table and dynamic stream locations. By 2006, the Right Fork of UM Creek was infected by whirling disease and it was apparent that FR043 and trail 2043 were affecting watershed conditions. Field surveys in 2011 found a potential location to reroute trail 2043 and the crossing of FR043 at Black Flat. Purpose and Need The purpose of this project is to improve UM Creek watershed conditions while preserving motorized access and trail connectivity. There is a need to reduce impacts from trail 2043 and FR043 located in the Potholes riparian area and reduce sedimentation into the Right Fork of UM Creek. Proposed Action The proposal is to relocate trail 2043 out of the riparian area to a more sustainable location. The following actions describe in detail the proposed action. 1. Decommission 0.4 miles of FR043 (including spur road 043B) beginning at the ford of the Right Fork UM Creek at Black Flat 2. Install vehicle barriers where FR043 crosses the Right Fork of UM Creek 3. Construct 1.3 miles of new motorized trail open to vehicles 50 inches or less in width. 1.2 miles of the proposed trail is located within the UM Plateau – Mt. Terrill Inventoried Roadless Area. Install two bridges (less than 20 feet in length) and one culvert. 4. Construct a bridge approximately 40 feet long across the Right Fork of UM Creek north of the existing crossing to accommodate vehicles 50 inches or less in width. 5. Decommission 0.83 miles of trail 2043 (including spur trail 2288) through The Potholes riparian area. 6. Convert 0.6 miles of trail 2043 from ‘trail open to vehicles 50 inches or less in width’ to non-motorized trail. 7. Convert 3.3 miles of FR043 (including spur roads
043C and 043D) from ‘road, not maintained for passenger car’ to ‘trail open to vehicles 50 inches or less in width’ changing the designation from a Forest Service classified road to a motorized trail. Public Involvement This proposed project is listed on the Fishlake National Forest Schedule of Proposed Actions (SOPA). More information regarding this project is found at www.fs.usda.gov/ goto/fishlake/projects Comment Process The Forest Service is requesting your comments on this proposed action, along with supporting reasons that the responsible official should consider in reaching a decision. Your comments will help the District prepare an Environmental Assessment. This scoping period provides those interested in or affected by this proposal an opportunity to make their concerns known prior to a decision being made by the Responsible Official. Comments will aid in the identification of any issues and subsequent development of alternatives under the process outlined in the National Environment Policy Act. The project implements land management plans and is not authorized under the Healthy Forest Restoration Act and is subject to 36 CFR 218.7 parts (a) and (b). There will be an objection process before the final decision is made and after the final environmental analysis document and draft decision are prepared (reference 36 CFR 218). In order to be eligible to file an objection, specific written comments related to the project must be submitted during scoping or any other periods, public comment is specifically requested on this EA (218.5). Individual members of organizations must
have submitted their own comments to meet the requirements of eligibility as an individual. Objections received on behalf of an organization are considered as those of the organization only. Names and addresses of those who comment and/or file objections will become part of the public record. Electronic comments may be submitted by email in word (.doc), rich text format (.rtf), text (.txt), or portable document format (.pdf) to comments-intermtn-fishlake-loa@fs.fed.us. Submit written comments to Fremont River Ranger District, Attn: Pam Jewkes, Acting District Ranger, 138 South Main, Loa, Utah, 84747. If submitting comments via FAX, send to 435-836-2366. Comments may also be hand delivered weekdays 8:00 am – 4:30 pm at the Freemont River Ranger District office. For more information, please contact Cody Clark by phone 435-836-1023. To be most helpful, comments should be submitted by November 29, 2014 Additional information regarding this project can be located on our website at: www.fs.usda.gov/projects/fishlake/landmanagement/ projects . Implementation A Notice and Comment document is expected to be ready for public review during fall 2014. The Environmental Assessment, Finding of No Significant Impact, and Draft Decision Notice are expected to be ready for public review during winter 2014. Following the objection process, a final decision is expected during spring 2015. Implementation could begin in summer 2015. —Cody Clark, Recreation Program Manager Fremont Ranger District, Fishlake National Forest

Wayne County Commissioners Extend an Invitation to All Wayne County Residents How We Grow Matters, Let’s Decide How Wayne County has partnered with the Western Rural Development Center at Utah State University and Southern Utah University to implement ASAP (Area Sector Analysis Program). ASAP utilizes a steering committee of local residents to determine the county’s economic development goals, understand community assets and determine obstacles or liabilities. The ASAP program then has access to the results of hundreds of surveys of a wide range of businesses and industries. These surveys provide understanding of what businesses look for and require when moving or expanding. The ASAP model then matches and provides an opportunity for the county to efficiently target businesses and industries that meet community goals and assets. The governor’s office will be employed in making contact with targeted businesses and industries. To be most effective, the steering committee should represent a cross section of Wayne County residents. Steering committee members commit to attend the 8 ASAP modules. Each module will last about 2 hours. The first meeting will begin on November 19, 2014. Do you want to be one of the 25 county residents that would like to participate in Wayne County’s future, please contact me to sign up and for more details by November 10, 2014.

Page 3 Lands Bill Summary Slogans, ordinances or resolutions won’t get the job done. It’s time for action. Here is a summary of what is included in Wayne County Lands Bill, why we should do it and what it would accomplish:
1. Transfer ownership of 11,500 acres of BLM lands to Wayne County or communities within Wayne County. We often complain that Wayne County is only three percent private lands. Here is an opportunity to improve the situation. Benefits are obvious. Wayne County or its communities will have ownership and control of these lands. Some of the areas we are looking at are the Hanksville Diversion Dam and a source of rip-rap for when it floods, land for a business park, recreation development in the Big Rocks and Lion Head areas and community expansion in Bicknell and Hanksville areas. 2. Direct the exchange of 22,500 acres of BLM land for 22,500 acres of State land within Wayne County. State lands are not subject to federal regulations and are therefore easier to develop. By exchanging ownership, projects such as a dam to store Fremont River water, irrigation of lands in the Hanksville area and development of renewable energy resources are more likely to occur. I believe this action will prove to be much more effective than putting up a campaign sign proclaiming we will “develop and protect our water rights.” 3. Direct the exchange of 6,700 acres of State lands within Wayne County for 6,700 acres of BLM lands with potential for oil or gas development outside of Wayne County. Because State lands are easier to develop, oil and gas production is more likely to occur. Even though Wayne County is not the producing county, we would be entitled to royalty payments which have the potential to greatly improve funding for our schools. 4. Remove wilderness study and roadless area designation for 251,100 acres of BLM and Forest Service land. Forest Service and BLM would have more options for management of resources such as timber harvest, recreation and range and wildlife habitat improvement. We could put up a sign saying we are going to “fight for multiple-use” and wait and see what happens, or we could take this action which will actually result in 251,000 acres of public lands being available for a full range of resource activities. 5. Designate 109,400 acres of BLM wilderness study areas and 140,000 acres of Capitol Reef National Park as wilderness. Some lands would be preserved in their natural state. Somehow a number of 800,000 acres of wilderness is making the rounds. That number is wildly exaggerated and incorrect. And yes horses are allowed in wilderness as is hunting, fishing, hiking and livestock grazing. Some of these actions are controversial. It would be easier to paste a “Take Back Our Lands” sticker on our bumpers then set back and complain when that doesn’t happen and grumble when the feds don’t or can’t do what we want. In addition to the obvious benefits, what makes a lands bill attractive to me is Wayne County will be in charge of charting the course. We won’t be able to blame the feds if things don’t work out. We will be responsible for the result. I also understand why some would want to avoid taking on that level of responsibility. I look forward to the challenge. Some worry that counties are dropping out and others choose not to participate. My reply to that is we don’t always have to be followers. What’s wrong with Wayne County being a leader? We are 97% public lands. We should be leading we have the most to gain. We need to do this now. Otherwise, 30 years from now, we will still be in the same situation or the subject will be moot because much of the area in question will be part of a Greater Canyonlands National Monument. At present what we have is a draft that’s subject to change. There will be public meetings and opportunities to make your views known. In the meantime, if this is something you are interested in please take the opportunity to become informed. It’s a comprehensive proposal. I’ve barely scratched the surface here. I have a long history and background with public lands and have sat on both sides of the table; on one side as a Forest Service employee, on the other as a grazing permittee. It’s my opinion this is an opportunity to do something positive for Wayne County that will not come along again in most of our lifetimes. It’s a major reason I decided to run for re-election. If you re-elect me, I’ll do my best to bring it to reality. In order to be successful, we will all need to work together. No one will get everything they want, everyone will have to give and compromise. We will be successful if everyone agrees to put the well being of Wayne County ahead of individual interests. This is my last article before the election. They are my way of explaining what I have been doing, and plan to do if re-elected. I’m not much for slogans. I believe voters deserve to know where I stand on issues and what I would like to accomplish in a second term. That information won’t fit on a bumper sticker or roadside campaign sign. Evidently some folks find the articles entertaining. I’m flattered. I ask for your support with your vote. I have been honored to serve as a Commissioner for the past 4 years, and hope to serve you for another 4 years. Thank you! Paid for by The Committee to Re-elect Rob Williams

Schools & Sports Property Tax and School Districts
With the month of November approaching, local property owners are preparing to pay their property taxes to the County. When you pay your taxes, you might ask, where does my tax money go? I would like to address this question as it relates to the Garfield School District. Property taxes are an important source of revenue for public education in Garfield County. Property taxes also go toward libraries, cities and county government, but the lions share will go to the school districts. The Constitution of the State of Utah provides the basic frame work for taxation and tax laws are made by the legislature. The County Assessor does not raise or lower the taxes; instead, the taxing bodies such as schools, cities,
October 30, 2014
towns, and service districts levy the tax dollars. Each year the Utah State Tax Commission calculates the Certified Tax Rate. It is the basis of the value of property located in the County. The Tax Commission sets the rate that generates the same amount of property tax revenue each year for a particular taxing entity. If you compare the tax levied for school districts in the State of Utah, Garfield County School District is 15th from the bottom out of 41 districts. The Garfield County School District tax rate is lower than 26 other districts and higher than 14 other districts in the State. According to the State Tax Commission web page available to school districts, Garfield School District will
assess a levy of .001910 in Board Local, .001910 in Capital Local, .001772 in Voted Local, 0 in General Obligation Bonds, and .001419 in Basic School set by the State. For a total tax rate of .006383 which will generate approximately $3,625,428. The State of Utah provides revenue in various line items of $7,124,801 and $351,390 in Federal Revenues. Citizens in Garfield County will see their tax notifications indicated a decrease in the amount of taxes collected this year when compared to last years. The reason for the decrease is because the County had an increase in their assessed evaluation which allows taxes rates to decrease. The reverse is also true; if the County decreases in the assessed evaluations, the tax rates will increase to ensure entities like the School District will receive the same amount of revenues as the previous year. Fortunately, the County has increased in assessed evaluations so many people will see a decrease in the taxes collected by the schools. Please know, the District will continue to be transparent and accountable to the public in all of its dealings. —Superintendent Ben Dalton

PHS Sports Sidelines by Mack Oetting
Lady Cats Win at State Repeat, Repeat, Repeat, and Repeat after me the Lady Cats just can’t be beat, with their fourth straight Cross Country Championship. The Girls just overwhelmed the rest of the field, with 4 runners in the top 10 runners and a score of 26 to Duchesne’s 70. Led by Whittni Orton for the third straight year in 1st place with a personal best time of 18.53, just seconds off the coarse record. She was followed closely by Catania Holman in 2nd, also with a personal best of 19.17. How good are these two? The 3rd place girl was a minute and a half behind them. Darri Frandsen ran the race of her life, came in 4th, last year she was in 15th place. MaKayla Dalton was outstanding with her 10th place, last year she was 29th what a great improvement and in 14th Caitlyn Brinkerhoff was the Cat's 5th scorer. The other two runners were Marlee Palmer and Breiann Birch and will be part of the next year's championship team. All of the girl runners improved on their last year's state times. Congratulation to Darri Frandsen, Catania Holman and Brenna Mooney on their selection to the All State Academic Team,
Hoofbeats News From Bryce Valley High by John Cloud
Greetings from Bryce Valley! Things are for the most part going well! Our girls have survived Region, and we are exited to see them progress! Cross country is also officially over, with state taking place this past week, on the 22nd, and Region the week before. Sadly, we did not place well in region as a team,so we did not get to state as a team. However, Luke Brannon and Ashlee Chynoweth did place in the top ten runners at Region, and so earned the right to run at
TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DAY!!
Wayne High cheer leaders keep the crowd pumped.
the team had a 3.91 GPA. The Bob Cats runners all improved on last year's times also and came home with the second place trophy. The Bob Cats were led by Sophomore runner Jonah Schoppe who was in 4th place, with a time of 17:27; he just keeps getting better with each race. Connor Anderson was 8th at 17:46 time, he was really flying. Trenton Stowe was 3rd for the Cats at 18:40, Trenton is also a Sophomore. In 4th for the Cats was Janzen Orton who barely made the team and was hoping to run under 21 minutes finished with a time of 18:48, boy did he do well. Bosten Englestead a freshman was the Cats fifth runner with a time of 18:58. Monticello won again for the 3rd time, however their first 4 runners are seniors and that leaves the door open next year with Cats only having one senior on the team. Monticello had a score of 51 followed by the Cats at 78 and a head of St. Joe at 103. Congratulations to Josiah Sarles on being awarded to the Academic All State Team. The Lady Cats are on a roll, taking first place at the Region 20 Volleyball tournament championships. The
state! They did well too, Ashlee took 24th, and Luke took 15th. Many students are prepping for the start of the Basketball and the Wrestling seasons. There is very little buzz regarding Halloween, although the Orchestra class is fairly certain that they will be participating in the Music Presentation that Mrs. Nancy Guyman will be putting on with the students of all of her music class on November 6th, shortly afterwards. Little else has as of this point transpired. The student body gave our English Teacher a fake birthday, so that we could have an excuse to sing "Happy Birthday" to her, although many students will wonder for the next several months if it was in fact her birthday. She will of course deny all such claims. :) The Psychology 1010 class is experiencing a mass wave of dropouts however, as many of the involved students withdraw from the class at the deadline for doing so . It is a very close call for the said students, and there will be few left behind from the rush. The next weeks are expected be as crazy as ever! John Cloud is a senior at Bryce Valley High School.
Cats have continued on with their undefeated season. The Cats played Piute for the Championship and as usual the Thunderbirds gave them a great game. The Cats won the first game, but the Birds came back and took the second one. The Ladies came back with two strong games, but they were close to take the title, 3 to 1. The Thunderbirds gave the crowd an exciting game of it. As good as Piute is I would expect to see another rematch at State. The tournament was played here and there were huge crowds for all of the games, even the title game. Milford was 3rd, Valley 4th and Wayne took 5th. Again Darri Frandsen, Brenna Mooney and Catania Holman were on the All Academic Region Team. Taylor Bennett, Chesney Campbell, Darri Frandsen and Catania Holman made the Region Twenty All Star Team. Starting tomorrow, Friday the 31st, the State Volleyball tournament starts at UVU. The Ladies are going for their second championship in two weeks...wouldn’t it be great if the Ladies take all 4 championships? I don’t believe this has ever happened in the State before.

Wayne High Football Loses to Duchesne, Spooky but Defeats Rich in the Final Game of Science Fun Their Inaugural Season Wayne v. Duchesne. Wayne High Football played the two last games of their season. The Badgers met the Duchesne Eagles at home on October 14, 2014. Wayne played excellent football, but the Eagles took home a win with a final score of 36-22. Wayne scored early in the first quarter, when Jaxon Jenson recovered a Duchesne fumble in the Wayne end zone. Jensen then kicked the extra point to make the score 7-0 in Wayne’s favor. Duchesne scored on the next series, and made two points on the extra point attempt, putting Duchesne up by one. Wayne was unable to make a first down on the next series, however Jenson’s 54yard punt set Duchesne back on their 27-yard line. The Badgers were able to capitalize on a Duchesne fumble when they recovered the fumble on Duchesne’s 22-yard line. Wayne’s quarterback, Connor Rees ran the ball for 20 yards, setting up a 2-yard touchdown run by Preston Stephenson. The Badgers converted a 2-point attempt to put Wayne ahead with a score of 15-8 at the end of the first half. Duchesne scored three times in the third quarter. Two of the touchdowns came off of Badger fumbles. Going into the forth quarter the score was Duchesne 20, Wayne 15. The Badgers lost the ball again early in the fourth quarter, and Duchesne was able to recover and five plays later scored a touchdown. After a successful kick for an extra point the score was 35-15 in favor of the Eagles. The Badgers had a final touchdown late in the fourth quarter, much to the delight of the home crowd. Ryan Lee ran the ball 46 yards to score the final touchdown in the game. Jensen’s extra point kick was successful. The final score in the game was Duchesne 36, Wayne 22. There were several outstanding players in this game. Ryan Lee and Preston Stephenson both contributed offensively, each having over 60 yards rushing. Jaxon Jenson had a 51-yard kickoff return which
got the crowd going. Connor Rees completed 3 passes for 20 yards. Defensively, Kalvin Hickman and Stephenson had outstanding games. Hickman had 12 unassisted tackles and assisted in 6 additional tackles. Stephenson followed closely with 11 unassisted tackles and 3 assists. Jensen also racked up 9 tackles and an assist. Connor Rees had several tackles, deflected a pass and recovered 2 fumbles. Dean Mathews and Braden Erickson contributed 4 tackles each and several assists. Devon Barlow also had 3 tackles and 3 assists. Despite the loss, it was obvious to anyone who watched the game that the Wayne Badgers continue to improve each time they step on the field. As Coach McCartney said about the game, “they played like a football team today.” Wayne v. Rich. Wayne High Badgers closed out their inaugural season by defeating the Rich Rebels with a score of 18-12. Wayne scored first, moving the ball 75 yards in 6 plays. The series included several runs by Wayne’s Preston Stephenson and a 37-yard pass from Connor Rees to Jaxon Jensen. Jenson ran the final 10 yards for a touchdown to make the score 6-0. The extra point attempt failed. Wayne’s defense kicked into high gear and was able to hold the Rebels scoreless until the final minutes of the half, when Rich scored on a 6-yard run to tie the score. Their two-point attempt failed, and the teams went into half time with the score tied at 6-6. Neither team scored in the third quarter, as the game settled into a defensive battle. However, Wayne’s Jensen scored on the first play of the fourth quarter, running the ball 59-yards for a touchdown. The extra point attempt again failed, leaving the score at 12-6 in Wayne’s favor. After the kick, Rich fired back with a 63-yard run to Wayne’s 5-yard line. Wayne’s Ethan Lee ran down the Rich player in an outstanding defensive play to prevent the touchdown. However, Rich was able to score the next play
to tie the game at 12-12. Rich’s extra point attempt was no good. With the score tied, both teams pulled out all the stops, however the Badgers were able to put together an 8 play series, taking the ball 50-yards for a touchdown. Jensen scored on a 10 yard run, behind an outstanding block by Wayne’s Brandon Oyler. The extra point attempt failed, and the score was left at 18-12. Wayne’s defense was able to hold onto the lead, despite a valiant Rich attempt to score and the Wayne High Football team closed out their first season of football with a big win. Wayne’s offense had a total of 329 yards. Preston Stephenson had 108 yards in 20 rushes and Jaxon Jenson contributed 140 yards in 15 runs. Quarterback Connor Rees had 13 yards rushing and completed 2 of 5 passes for 68 yards. Jenson received one pass for 37 yards, and Devin Barlow received the other pass for 27 yards. Wayne’s defense limited the Rich Rebels to only 223 yards rushing and 61 yards passing. Besides his touchdown-saving tackle, Wayne’s Ethan Lee broke up several Rich passing attempts, and had 4 tackles. Wayne’s defense shared the defensive burden with several Wayne players making tackles. Stephenson and Ryan Lee had 11 tackles each. Kalvin Hickman contributed 10 tackles and a huge quarterback sack that stopped Rich’s final drive of the game. Jaxon Jenson had 9 tackles. Daniel Evans had 8 tackles. Braden Erickson and Tava’e Pei each contributed 6 tackles, and Dean Mathews had 4 tackles. Colby Taylor and Devin Barlow were constantly in the Rich backfield, pressuring the quarterback. On both sides of the ball, the Wayne Badgers played well. The home crowd of over 300 people certainly supported their Badgers, particularly when the Seniors joined hands on the field right before the final play of the game and walked off…as they started this journey….together. —Badger Fan
Youth from throughout Wayne County participated in 4-H spooky science activities sponsored by the Entrada Institute. Many of the science experiments revolved around water, air, soap, and dry ice. The children were amazed by the mist and bubbles they produced. The young scientists enjoyed making snacks including home made root beer, deadman finger sandwiches, tombstone cookies, edible eyeballs, and spider web cotton candy. Thanks to GaeLynn Peterson and Mary Sorenson. Also thanks to the 4-H adult and teen leaders who made the activities a success. —Annette Lamb

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Being gone for a couple of weeks, like your mail, the news and up coming events really pile up. Tomorrow is Halloween and the goblins are out and running around, so drive carefully, at least we are still on daylight savings time so it doesn’t get dark till 7:00. Saturday night is the start of the LDS Stake Conference and it will begin at 7:00pm. At Saturday's meeting the Panguitch Quilt Walkers will be doing a couple of songs, commemorating Panguitch’s 150th birthday. On Sunday morning, at 10:00 am, Stake Conference will begin and there will be a new Stake Presidency and everyone will be guessing who it will be. Many thanks to President Dalton and all of the hard work he and his Counselors have put forth on our behalf over the years. Go to your bill drawer and get out your ballots and vote for the best candidates. Utah is among a number of other states that do not require you to have an excuse to cast an absentee ballot, and you can ask to be put on a permanent absentee ballot list and you can vote by mail at each election. The problem is that you don’t need any voter ID to do this, however the election board will check your signature with the one that you signed when you registered. Election day is Nov. 4th this year so get your ballot in the mail before then. Starting on Wednesday Nov. 5th, PHS Drama Club will be putting on the musical “Grease”. Elaine Baldwin and Cheryl Church have some great student talent for this musical and they say that this is the high school-approved
version of the play. The musical will run for 4 nights and many of the parts will be double cast. Show time will be at 7:00, so plan on seeing it two nights so you can see both casts. On Friday evening the 7th will be the 16th annual PHS Invitational All Star Volleyball game. This pits the best seniors from 1A against 2A teams. It will feature PHS’s Darri Frandsen, Catania Homan and Brenna Mooney in their last high school volleyball game. This is a real fun game for the girls and they get to play with girls that they have played against their whole career. Game time will be at 5:00 and the tickets are $5.00 for adults. All proceeds will go to the Girls volleyball team. This year's game will be sponsored by the American Legion. You can come see these fine athletics and take in the Play, for a great evening. The 1-A teams had dominated these games, but the last couple of years the 2-A teams have showed up with some really big girls and the tide changed, however with the PHS seniors this year, things will get back to normal. The following week will be Veterans Day on Tuesday 11-11. All Veterans and their wives and widows of Veterans, are invited for dinner and a program. It will be held at the Senior Center and will start at 6:30. Please give me a call so I can get some kind of number count (676-2418). The American Legion sponsors this event and it is free. The next day Nov.11-12 will be the Blood Drive and it will be held at the Stake
Center. There is never enough blood to go around and the People from Panguitch have been one of the biggest donors in the State. For an appointment call Jennifer Bremner at (676-8211). Our congratulation to Commissioner Leland Pollock for his award from UAC Council as the 2014 County Commissioner Council Member of the Year. This is a very much deserved award, Commissioner Pollock is always on the go, all over the Country, looking out for the best interest of all of the citizens of Garfield Co. The tourists will have something else to look at in the near future. The State park managers have decided to move a 50 foot, 150 million year old petrified tree about a mile and a half, from BLM land to the Escalante Petrified Forrest State Park. The tree will be placed near the entrance to the Park and the visitor center. Escalante’s Petrified Forest has one of the best collections of petrified
wood in a natural setting in the Country and the tree from the Morrison Formation (time period) will only add to this huge attraction. The tree was being vandalized in its past location and this will be in an area that it can be protected. When we came home I saw an article that the City was going to have a meeting to discuses an ordinance providing for the establishment of a capital project fund- swimming pool. At an election 3 or 4 years ago a poll was conducted to see if there was an interest for a swimming pool in Panguitch. The poll was almost 4 to 1 interested in at least looking into having a pool here in town. I hope others also saw this notice and made their points heard. The meeting was held last Tuesdaynight. Pat and My trip was great and we saw a lot of things for the first time. I will bore you with it on a little slower news day. Mack O.

Wills, Trusts, and More Trust Maintenance
If you don’t maintain your car, it will break down and fail to perform. Like a car, if you fail to maintain your trust, it will not achieve the desired purpose when needed. Many people choose a revocable living trust instead of relying on a will or joint ownership in their estate plan. They like the cost and time savings, plus the added control over assets that a living trust can provide. When properly prepared, a living trust avoids the public and often costly, court processes at death (probate) and incapacity (conservatorship or guardianship). It can let you provide for your spouse without disinheriting your children, which can be important in second marriages. It can save estate taxes. And it can protect inheritances for children and grandchildren from the courts, creditors, spouses, and irresponsible spending. However, many people make a major mistake in that they do not properly maintain their trust by keeping it properly funded. Funding your trust is the process of transferring your assets from you to your trust. To do this, you physically change the titles of your assets from your individual name (or joint names, if married) to the trustee of your trust. You also will change beneficiary (or contingent beneficiary) designations to your trustee. The trustee you name for your living trust controls the assets in your trust. Most likely, you have named yourself as trustee, so you will still have complete control. Remember, one of the great features of a revocable living trust is that you can continue to buy and
by Jeffery J. McKenna sell assets just as you do now. You can also remove assets from your living trust should you ever decide to do so. If you have signed your living trust document but haven’t changed titles and beneficiary designations, your trust will likely not achieve the desired results. You may have a great trust, but until you fund it (transfer your assets to it), it doesn’t control anything. Your revocable trust can only control the assets you put into it. If the goal of your living trust is to avoid probate at death and court intervention at incapacity, then you must fund it now, while you are able to do so. If you have a trust, your attorney should have prepared a “pour over will” that acts as a safety net. When you die, the will “catches” your assets and “sends” them into your trust. If you have forgotten to transfer an asset or two into your trust, the asset will probably have to go through probate first, but then it can be distributed according to the instructions in the will, to your trust. You are the one ultimately responsible for maintaining your trust. Most attorneys will transfer real estate into the trust, and will provide forms and instructions for your other assets. Often they will include sample letters or blank forms for you to use. The funding
Attorney Jeff McKenna hiking with his son in Zion National Park
process is not difficult. Because revocable living trusts are now so widely used, you should meet with little or no resistance when transferring your assets into your trust. Like maintenance on a car, funding your trust and keeping your assets properly titled in the trust brings peace of mind because you know, that just like a well tuned car, your trust will perform properly when needed.

tHe lAuGhiNg Live to 100? Translation pOiNt!!
When my grandmother was in her eighties, she decided to move to Israel. As part of the preparations, she went to see her doctor and get all her charts. The doctor asked her how she was doing, so she gave him the litany of complaints -- this hurts, that's stiff, I'm more tired and I'm slower, etc., etc., etc. He responded with, "Mrs. Weiss, you have to expect things to start deteriorating. After all, who wants to live to 100?" My grandmother looked him straight in the eye and replied, "Anyone who's 99."
Generation Gap
A company was doing an English-language movie where, at one point, an exhausted messenger was supposed to dash in, collapse, and gasp out a vital message in Swahili. They even found someone who knew the language, and the scene worked beautifully in the movie -until it played in an African town where Swahili was wellknown. A moment of high drama nose-dived into comedy as the panting messenger gasped out: "I don't think I am being paid enough for this part!"
My five-year-old son and I were discussing some of the differences between his childhood and mine. I pointed out that when I was young, we didn't have things such as Nintendo, cellphones, computers or digital cameras. I realized just how huge the generation gap was when he asked me: "Did you have fruit?"
Warranty
A man came back to the dealer from whom he bought a new car. "I believe you gave me a guarantee with my car," he said. "That's right, sir," the salesman answered. "During the warranty period we will replace anything that breaks." "Fine, I need a new garage door."

I just bought a new laptop. I tried to load in a new browser but instead I loaded in a bunch of junk, EG: the usual "We're here to help you" programs. My son yelled at me,"You do not need all that stuff, it'll just slow down your computer." He rectified the situation and loaded in the correct browser for me. After he was through, and the computer was up and running a box on the screen appeared, "WARNING YOUR COMPUTER MAY BE AT RISK". My son remarked,"Every time Dad pushes the ON button."
Loaner Car
Saving for a new car on a teacher's salary takes a while. So while I was saving, a mechanic friend loaned me an old junker to use. It was so beat up, even its dents had dents. I came out of school one day to find a police officer and a woman examining it. "What's going on?" I asked. "I saw this lady hit your car," the cop explained. "But I can't figure out where."

Report Finds Utah K-12 Funding Cuts Among Nation's Highest SALT LAKE CITY - A new study from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities shows education funding cuts in Utah rank among the nation's highest. Sharon Gallagher-Fishbaugh, president of the Utah Education Association, says research shows Utah's perpupil spending remains well below pre-recession levels. "Public education funding has never been a priority," she says. "And now we're seeing a negative return on our lack of investment in public education." G a l l a g h e r- F i s h b a u g h says when adjusted for inflation, the study shows Utah has cut investments in K-12 schools by 14 percent since 2008. The report ranks Utah eighth, while Oklahoma, Alabama, and Arizona lead the nation with the deepest cuts. As the November 4th general election approaches,
Gallagher-Fishbaugh says the governor and state Legislature should make the education of Utah's future workforce a top fiscal priority. —Troy Wilde, Utah News Connection

Practical Money Matters
Are Extended Warranties Worth the Cost ? Are these costly add-ons worth the expense or simply a sucker bet intended to boost the seller's bottom line? It depends on whom you ask. According to consumer watchdog organizations like the Federal Trade Commission and Consumer Reports, extended warranties and service contracts often don't make strong financial sense. However, some people find extended warranties reassuring, especially for large purchases with electronic components that can go awry and are expensive to repair or are easily broken. Before you buy an extended warranty, do your research and consider these points: • Does it overlap with the manufacturer's warranty? Don't pay twice for duplicate coverage. • Many credit cards automatically extend the manufacturer's warranty for up to a year on purchases – for free. • Before purchasing, check the company's track record with your state's Department of Insurance, the Better Business Bureau and independent reviewers like Angie's List. • Service contracts might not cover specific product parts or repairs. If the terms don't list a part or function as specifically covered, assume it's not. • Carefully review the contract for deductibles, limits on the number of allowable service calls, exclusions and clauses that allow the company to deny coverage
by Jason Alderman – for example, if you don't follow their instructions for routine maintenance. • Ask whether the retailer handles repairs itself. You may be required to mail the product to a repair center, so factor in shipping costs if they're not included. New cars typically come with a basic factory warranty that covers most components for at least 3 years or 36,000 miles (sometimes more), as well as separate warranties for items like the powertrain, corrosion and roadside assistance. Before purchasing an extended car warranty from the dealer or a third-party vendor, consider: • If you plan to sell the car before the basic warranty expires, an extended warranty probably doesn't make sense; however, if you'll likely keep the car for many years, it may. • Don't feel compelled to buy an extended warranty immediately. Policies can usually be purchased months or years later – although the cost will increase as the car ages. • If buying an extended warranty through the dealer, find out whether it's backed by the manufacturer (which means you can go to any dealership throughout the country) or by a third party, which could limit your repair options considerably. • Most carriers sell a variety of plans at varying costs, duration and mileage limits – everything from basic
Social Security Announces 1.7 Percent Benefit Increase for 2015 SALT LAKE CITY Monthly Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits for nearly 64 million Americans will increase 1.7 percent in 2015, the Social Security Administration announced today. The 1.7 percent cost-ofliving adjustment (COLA) will begin with benefits that more than 58 million Social Security beneficiaries receive in January 2015. Increased payments to more than 8 million SSI beneficiaries will begin on December 31, 2014. The Social Security Act ties the annual COLA to the increase in the Consumer Price Index as determined by the Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. Some other changes that take effect in January of each year are based on the increase in average wages. Based on that increase, the maximum amount of earnings subject to the Social Security tax (taxable maximum) will increase to $118,500 from $117,000. Of the estimated 168 million workers who will pay Social Security taxes in 2015, about 10 million will pay higher taxes because of the increase in the taxable maximum. Information about Medicare changes for 2015 is available at www.Medicare.gov. The Social Security Act provides for how the COLA is calculated. To read more,

powertrain-only policies to comprehensive bumper-tobumper coverage. • Ask whether the warranty can be transferred to a new owner – that'll boost resale value. • Extended warranties are also available for used cars. They're more risky to buy than new cars and thus may be better candidates. However, the older the car, the more expensive – and limited – the coverage likely will be. As an alternative, consider putting the same amount into a savings account. That way, if the product breaks, you'll have enough money on hand to replace it. If not, you'll have a nice chunk of change. Bottom line: If it will make you sleep more soundly, consider extended warranties for your major purchases. Just do your homework first and realize that peace of mind may cost much more than any repair bills you ultimately need. Jason Alderman directs Visa's financial education programs.
