PHS Cross Country Team Wins 1A State Girls' team takes second against Parowan

Public Lands Transfer Group Loses Forty-five Percent of County Members in 2016

Panguitch boys' cross country team poses with their trophy at 1A State competition in Salt Lake City's Sugar House Park. PANGUITCH - The PHS Cross Country team (or PHX as we like to call ourselves) recently competed in the 1A state cross country championships at Sugar House Park in Salt Lake City. Our boys' team brought home the championship trophy for the second year in a row with the girls finishing second to Parowan High School. Jonah Schoppe, a senior, was the state champion, finishing the race in 16:39. He was followed by Trenton Stowe in 3rd place, Bosten Englestead in 10th place, Kaden Beckstead in 12th, Luke Reeder in 13th, Joe Vasquez in 14th and Zack Julander in 25th. "Any time we have 3 runners finish in the top ten and our top five runners finish in the top fifteen, we are going to be a tough team to beat," said long time coach Danny Yardley, who keeps track of all the teams times year after year. He said this is the very fastest Bobcat team ever to run at PHS. The girls' team had their work cut out for them because Parowan also had a very solid team this year. Taylia Norris, a freshman, was 2nd overall, fol-

lowed by Jordan Bennett, Corryn Anderson, Brittney Henrie, Karlee Eyre, Brieann Birch and Brenley Veater. They came up just 12 points short of a win this year, but all the girls ran their fastest times on the course. Panguitch residents may have noticed these kids running all over town, many of them began training in June for the grueling 3 mile race at

Sugar House Park. The state cross country course is really just a series of hills. The kids prepare themselves by putting in a lot of hard miles which include running every hill in town many times! If you live on Dickenson Hill, the Roller Mill hill, the sawmill road, or the Panguitch Lake hill, you have seen cross country team members run your hills many

times. Some days they run in temperatures near 90 degrees and some morning runs were closer to 30 degrees. These are truly dedicated athletes. The PHX team is coached by Danny Yardley, Annie Anderson and Troy Norris. Frank Houston and Kylie Frandsen also pitched in much support this season. —Annie Anderson

SALT LAKE CITY County memberships in the American Lands Council, a national group working to transfer publicly owned lands to states, have dropped by as much as 45 percent, according to an investigation by the Western Values Project. Chris Saeger, Western Values Project director, suspects the drop in membership reflects the ALC's declining influence in Western states. "Things are not looking good for folks like the American Lands Council and the Bundy folks, and others who are advocating for the transfer of federal public lands to states," Saeger said. Saeger referenced the group recently on trial for occupying the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon. He pointed to a recent report by the Conference of Western Attorneys General, which concluded that lawsuits petitioning the transfer of federal lands to states are unlikely to succeed. According to its website, the ALC recently met at an undisclosed location

in Salt Lake City to discuss strategies going forward. The group did not respond to requests for comment. The battle over who controls federal lands is far from over, Saeger said, adding that out-of-state funders may still be able to keep the ALC's doors open. He said keeping national lands open and accessible for all Americans to hunt, fish, hike and camp drives a multi-billiondollar recreation economy. "If you lose that because those lands are ultimately sold off to powerful special interests," Saeger warned, "then you lose a very significant chunk of the outdoor economy and, more importantly, our way of life." Last year, the ALC removed from its website a list of counties that pay annual dues to the organization. The Western Values Project filed formal information requests to the 53 counties formerly listed, and found almost half are no longer members. —Eric Galatas Utah New Connection

UDOT Installs Signs Extending National Bike Route CEDAR CITY - The description of Utah as the "Crossroads of the West" takes on new meaning with a project recently contracted through the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT). But rather than the gold associated with the meeting of the rails, adventure seekers are now looking for green to be found along a national system of designated bike routes intended to connect the Atlantic to the Pacific. U.S. Bicycle Routes 70 & 79 now officially span Southern Utah winding through seven counties from Colorado to Nevada as a UDOT contractor finishes new sign installations. The two routes designated with the new green signs converge in Iron County while rural communities along the stretch are hoping their local economies can pick up some steam from the movement.

The staff from Sevier Valley Hospital pose with awards which were presented Oct. 13, 2016 at the Utah Hospital Association’s Annual Awards Dinner in Park City. RICHFIELD - Residents of Sevier County and surrounding communities can be confident in the care provided at Sevier Valley Hospital, according to a Utah healthcare improvement organization. The hospital has been presented with the 2016 HealthInsight Quality Award for

demonstrating high-quality patient care and a commitment to improving health care. The award is presented by HealthInsight, a nonprofit, community-based organization working to improve health and healthcare for patients and providers. The 2016 HealthInsight

Quality Award recognizes hospitals for demonstrating high-quality healthcare and excellence in performance on a combination of publicly reported Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services inpatient and outpatient process of care measures, patients’ perception of care measures and 30-day

hospital-wide readmissions. “Our staff is dedicated to providing the very best in patient care.

USDA Seeks Applications for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Projects in Utah SALT LAKE CITY USDA Rural Development State Director Dave Conine is encouraging Utah’s rural and small businesses and agricultural producers to apply for loans and grants to support renewable energy and energy efficiency projects. “Investments in energy efficiency and renewable energy adoption help our local residents by allowing rural businesses and agricultural producers to cut their utility costs while promoting environmental responsibility,” Conine said. “The benefits of these projects are long-term

and we encourage all eligible applicants to take advantage of this opportunity.” USDA is accepting Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) applications for: 1) energy audit and renewable energy development assistance grants, and 2) renewable energy system and energy efficiency guaranteed loans and grants. In Utah during Fiscal Year 2016, 14 projects were funded with loans and grants to implement renewable energy and energy efficiency improvements in rural areas throughout the state. Funded projects include lighting upgrades and solar ar-

ray system installations. The application deadline for energy audit and renewable energy development assistance grants is Jan. 31, 2017. Applications for renewable energy system and energy efficiency grants of $20,000 or less are due by Oct. 31, 2016, for the first funding cycle and March 31, 2017, for the second funding cycle. Applications for renewable energy system and energy efficiency grants of greater than $20,000 and all combination grants and guaranteed loans are due by March 31, 2017. USDA will set aside 20 percent of the funds for

grants of $20,000 or less. Applications for renewable energy system and energy efficiency grants or for loan/ grant combinations that are received after March 31, 2017, will be considered in Fiscal Year 2018, which starts Oct. 1, 2017. Guaranteed loan applications will be reviewed and processed when received, with periodic competitions.

WASHINGTON D.C. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced that many of the 1.7 million farms that enrolled in either the Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) or Price Loss Coverage (PLC) programs will receive safety-net payments due to market downturns during the 2015 crop year. “This fall, USDA will be making more than $7 billion in payments under the ARCCounty and PLC programs to assist participating producers, which will account for over 10 percent of USDA’s projected 2016 net farm income. These payments will help provide reassurance to America’s farm families, who are standing

strong against low commodity prices compounded by unfavorable growing conditions in many parts of the country,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. “At USDA, we are standing strong behind them, tapping in to every resource that we have to help. So far in 2016, this has included creating a one-time cost share program for cotton ginning, purchasing about $800 million in excess commodities to be redirected to food banks and those in need, making $11 million in payments to America’s dairy farmers through the Dairy Margin Protection Program, and reprogramming Farm Service Agency funds to expand credit options for farmers and ranchers in need of extra

capital. As always, we continue to watch market conditions and will explore opportunities for further assistance in the coming months. For producers challenged by weather, disease and falling prices, we will continue to ensure the availability of a strong safety net to keep them farming or ranching.” Unlike the old direct payment program, which issued payments during both weak and strong market conditions, the 2014 Farm Bill authorized the ARC-PLC safety net to trigger and provide financial assistance only when decreases in revenues or crop prices, respectively, occur. The ARC and PLC programs primarily allow producers to continue to produce for

the market by making payments on a percentage of historical base production, limiting the impact on production decisions. Nationwide, producers enrolled 96 percent of soybean base acres, 91 percent of corn base acres and 66 percent of wheat base acres in the ARCCounty coverage option. Producers enrolled 99 percent of long grain rice and peanut base acres and 94 percent of medium grain rice base acres in the PLC option. Overall, 76 percent of participating farm base acres are enrolled in ARC-County, 23 percent in PLC and one percent in ARC-Individual. For other program information including frequently asked questions, visit www.fsa.usda.gov/arc-plc. Payments are made to producers who enrolled base acres of barley, corn, grain sorghum, lentils, oats, peanuts, dry peas, soybeans, wheat and canola. In the upcoming months, payments will be announced after marketing year average prices are published by USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service for the remaining covered commodities. These include long and medium grain rice (except for temperate Japonica rice), which will be announced in November, remaining oilseeds and chickpeas, which will be announced in December, and temperate Japonica rice, which will be announced in early February 2017. Upland cotton is no longer a covered commodity. The Budget Control Act of 2011, passed by Congress, requires USDA to reduce 2015 ARC and PLC payments by 6.8 percent. For more information, producers are encouraged to visit their local Farm Service Agency (FSA) office. To find a local FSA office, visit http://offices.usda.gov. —United States Dept. of Agriculture

Schools & Sports District Enrollment Decreasing While researching data for a meeting the other day, I came across some disturbing facts concerning the enrollment of school aged children in Garfield County. While much of the country is experiencing growth in their schools, our dwindling rate is approaching historic lows. As a result, state funding is on the decrease. The enrollment number for the year 2001 was recorded for the district at 1049 students in the various district schools. Fifteen years later, 2016 figures show a total of 904 students or a net decrease of about 150 students. This decrease alone is worth about a half a million dollars in decreased funding towards the cost of educating our youth. If you take a look at the individual school populations, there are two schools that have consistently remained above average for student growth. Both Panguitch Elementary and Panguitch High show an increase of 2 and 6 students respectively. PMS is down about a student. Both Bryce Valley schools are about one student down. The two schools in Escalante have shown average decreases of 8 students at the elementary and 29 at the high school. Our small schools at Antimony and Boulder have a combined decrease of 9 students of this same period of time. While smaller families may contribute to this decrease in student numbers, the lack of a sustainable winter economy has also caused a decrease in school aged children. State statistics show Garfield County down 60 jobs in the last year. How many children do these 60 jobs represent? Utah’s population has doubled from 1980 to about 3 million today. Department of Workforce Services states Garfield County is one of five Utah Counties to experience a shrinking population. Additionally, Garfield County shows a 9% decline in gross taxable sales. Please wake up those entrepreneurial skills inside of you. Our schools need more children to generate more income for better programs and offerings. Until we work together to develop a winter economy our prospects of more students looks bleak. —Tracy Davis, Superintendent, Garfield County School District

Bryce Valley High School News This past weekend the Bryce Valley girls Volleyball Team played in State at UVU. Friday they lost their first game against ICS in three sets and won their second game in three sets against Green River. Saturday morning they beat Wayne in four sets and then played in the Consolation Championship against Tabiona. It was a tight game that went five sets, but unfortunately Tabiona won, However, the Mustangs fought very hard. They ended up taking eighth in State overall. This is the first time Bryce Valley has placed in State in almost 26 years. We are very proud of our team and how far they came!

Lady Cats Roar, Thanks Coaches! The Lady Cats had a real run at the State Volleyball Championship. After two Championship years in a row and seeing the fabulous 5 graduate and six of last years starters graduating, this was to be a rebuilding year. However Coaches Troy and Annemarie Norris had other thoughts. Boy did this young team fool everyone, only one loss all year and they steam rolled their way to the Championship game, by winning all of their Region 20 and the first three games at state in 3 sets. Oh what a great game the Championship was and the Cats were so close. Leading the 1st set 24 to 22, the Cats just couldn’t quite get over the hump losing to the Rebels 27 to 25, all they needed was a lucky bounce here or there and the set would have been theirs. The 2nd set was more of the same, with Cats blocking many of Rich’s kills only to see them go outside, and Rich took the 2nd set 25 to 22. The Ladies got their second wind and really took control in the third set; they looked like their old selves winning rather handily 25 to 19. In the 4th set the Cats was ahead most of the game, but again their great shot blocking turned against them and the Rich Rebels took the Championship. Like in all sports the best team doesn’t always win, but the Panguitch team and it was really a team made up of a lot of players, instead of just six, was one of the best teams that Panguitch has turned out. With only 3 players graduating this year, this team is going to be tough to beat for years to come. The hard work and dedication that Coaches Troy and his wife Annemarie put in is unbelievable, starting with these girls in the 4th grade and the many hours of practice that goes into making them Champions. Lady Cats you were awesome! You are the best in the state in our opinion! Next up is the winter sports, boys and girls basketball and wrestling. If you don’t have your season tickets it’s not too late, go to the principal’s office and see Lisa.

An international team of astronomers has discovered a giant extrasolar planet orbiting a young star called CVSO 30. CVSO 30, also known as 2MASS J05250755+0134243 and PTFO 8-8695, is a young T Tauri star of spectral type M3. It is located in the constellation Orion, approximately 1,200 light-years from us, and is a member of a cluster of almost 200 lowmass stars collectively known as the 25 Orionis association. A highly variable, fast rotating star, CVSO 30 has a mass of 0.39 solar masses and a temperature of about 5,800 degrees Fahrenheit (3,200 degrees Celsius). CVSO 30 is also very young, with an estimated age between 2 and 3 million years, making it one of the youngest objects within the 25 Orionis group. The discovery was reported in the Sept. 26, 2016 issue of the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.

Writing Your Own Will?

In the Bank!

by Jeffery J. MCkennA

A holographic will is a will that is written entirely in your own handwriting. No witnesses are required, and no portion of the will may be typed. If you type some or all of the words, or you incorporate other markings or other documents into the text, you could inadvertently invalidate the will. The idea behind holographic wills is that since the entire document is in a person's handwriting, there is no need for witnesses to sign it to establish its validity. Holographic wills don't need to be notarized either, but they do need to be signed. Most lawyers would tell you it's a bad idea to write your own will because you can easily create ambiguities and other defects that can lead to litigation following your death. This is especially true in second marriage situations when one or both spouses have children from prior marriages or relationships. If you decide to write your own will, you should be sure to say in the introductory sentence that it is your will, and that you are revoking all prior wills. If you don't revoke all prior wills,

your handwritten will and any other wills that have not been revoked will be looked at together to determine who inherits your estate. As you may expect, problems arise when the various documents conflict. Be sure to identify each bequest clearly and to give away all of your property. A frequent problem with handwritten wills is that they list some accounts and properties, but then leave out others. Property that you don't mention in your will passes to your heirs as determined by the courts. Your heirs may not be the same persons named in your will, and may not be the ones you would have chosen to receive the assets. Also, going to court and figuring out who your heirs are can be an expensive and time-consuming matter. In addition, courts will require two witnesses who are familiar with your handwriting to testify that the will was, in fact, written by you. It's often the case that handwritten wills don't name a personal representative. Failure to name a personal representative could result in an administration of your estate that is fully court-supervised, expensive,

and lengthy. Another important provision that is often left out of a holographic will is a waiver of bond. When you don't request a waiver, the judge can require that your personal representative post a bond. Sometimes, it's not possible to even get a bond, and if your personal representative can get one, it is generally expensive. There are a number of other provisions that should be included in wills that the average person would almost certainly leave out of a holographic will. Handwritten wills are valid if they are properly drafted. However, they are almost always more difficult to probate than typed wills. WITH A SATELLITE OFFICE NOW IN PANGUITCH. Jeffery J.

After years of scrimping and saving, a wife told her husband the good news: "Honey, we've finally saved enough money to buy what we started saving for way back in 2000." "You mean a brand-new Mercedes?" he asked eagerly. "No," she replied, "a 2000 Mercedes."

A customer in the Italian restaurant was so pleased with his meal that he asked to speak to the chef. The owner proudly led him into the kitchen and introduced him to the chef. "Your veal parmigiana was superb," the customer said. "I just spent a month in Italy, and yours is better than any I ever had over there." "Naturally," the chef said. "Over there, they use domestic cheese. Ours is imported!"

Two newlyweds quickly realized their marriage wasn't working and filed for divorce. The judge asked them what the problem was. The wife replied, "In the five weeks that we've been together we haven't been able to agree on a single thing." The judge asked the husband, "Have you anything to say?" "It's been SIX weeks, your Honor."

My real name is Wilton, but everyone at the plastics factory calls me Dub. And that's where the confusion began. A woman from the front office came by with a form to fill out.

Romola A. Jones 1934 - 2016

But the best thing at Grampa’s house by a whole bunch, plus a little bit is Gramma Mola…but then, that’s another story, isn’t it? BICKNELL - How fortunate we are to tell the story of Romola Jones, a truly unique woman. Grandma left us with much insight, some of which included “Wake up Jacob, Johnny shot a bear!” and “It’s like trying to milk a rubber duck.” Romola Allred Jones passed away in Roosevelt, Utah on October 24, 2016. Romola was born on March 30, 1934. She was raised by John F. Allred and Izetta Morrell Allred in Loa, Utah. Her four siblings preceded her in death. Romola married Ted Baker Jones, January 25, 1950 in Loa, Utah. They made their home in Bicknell, Utah except for a brief stint in Las Vegas. This only lasted a short amount of time until Ted came home from work one evening and loaded everything in a truck (dirty dishes, clothes, etc.), and back to Bicknell they went. They were married for 56 years before Ted passed away on March 14, 2006. The last 16 years can be referred to the “Huh?” years. Romola had few jobs, but the occupation of which she was the most proud, was a librarian at the local middle school. She took a lot of joy in this and was always excited to recommend a good book. She loved and took great pride in having this position. As most grandmothers are, she was also an amazing cook. (Anyone who has had her peas-n-taters, can testify). She taught many lessons in the kitchen and not all of them had to do with cooking. She taught that anything worth doing, was worth doing well and that the best things take time. This was her approach with her relationships with family and friends. She was selfless in her care toward others and she always had time to visit with everyone. Whether they stopped by or she saw them at the post office, she always took time to visit and make people feel important. Romola was an amazing person. Romola is remembered by her children, Ken and Debbie Allen; John and Dawna Jones; and Doug Jones. By her many grandchildren, her many, many great-grandchildren, and by her friends; too numerous to mention. The family would like to extend a special thanks to Parkside Manor and their staff in Roosevelt for their love and tender care they took of our dear Mom. Funeral services were held Saturday, October 29, 2016 at 1:00 P.M. in the Thurber LDS Ward Chapel, where friends were invited for the viewing Saturday morning, prior to the services. Burial will be in the Bicknell Cemetery under the care of the Springer Turner Funeral Home of Richfield and Salina, Utah. On line guest book at: www.springerturner.com

Janice T. Hatch 1939 - 2016

PANGUITCH - On October 27, 2016, Janice Talbot Hatch, 77, was reunited with her eternal companion. She was born April 3, 1939 in Panguitch to Laurance J and Remona Elizabeth Beebe Talbot. She married James Houston “Tink” Hatch, November 15, 1957 in Pioche, Nevada. The marriage was solemnized November 15, 1958 in the St. George Temple. He preceded her in death August 10, 1997. She was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her faith and love for the Church was an inspiration to us all. She fulfilled many different callings, but her favorite was teaching Sunday School to the 16-17 year olds. She was a loving wife, mother, sister, aunt and friend. She worked in the Special Education Department in the Panguitch School System. She had a special love for her shared children and grandchildren who brightened her life everyday. Janice always looked for the positive in every situation, she will always be remembered for never having negative thoughts or comments towards anyone. Even at her worst she was “good” and was concerned with how you were doing. She will truly be missed and thought of often by those of us who love her. We are grateful to know she is in a better place where she has been reunited with her loved ones and will suffer no more from the afflictions of her mortal body. Surviving her are her daughters: Christine and Elizabeth “Bitsy”; siblings Larry J (Crystal) Talbot, Tom (Stephanie) Talbot, Linda (Tony) Wright; In-Laws: Caryl Englestead, Elaine Hatch, Dave (Vera) Hatch, Janet (Larry) Leatham. She is also preceded in death by her parents; sons, Steven and Tony Hatch; brothers, Dan (Hatch) Talbot and Roger Talbot Funeral services will be held in the Panguitch 2nd LDS Ward Chapel, 200 North 400 East on Wednesday, November 2, 2016 at 12:00 Noon. Friends and family may call at the church on Tuesday evening from 6 to 8 or on Wednesday from 10:00 to 11:30. Burial will be in the Panguitch Cemetery.

FYI PanguItch

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com We have a really, really big week coming up, so I am putting it up first. Tomorrow, Friday the 4th, is the annual Search and Rescue dinner and it again will be held at Ebenezer’s in Bryce Canyon City and it will be at 6:00. Give Matt Vaulk a call at 6909045. This is a fun evening and it is hosted by Sheriff Perkins as a thank you to all of those that volunteer in helping out the County. Tuesday the 8th is Election Day. If you haven’t received your ballot in the mail by now, go to the Clerk’s office and pick up one. The voter's pamphlet that was put out a couple of weeks ago said that you could go to the Clerk’s office and vote, I put that in last week’s article and evidently this is not true for Garfield County. There are no voting machines available to use. These machines are very expensive to rent and the mailing of ballots is a much better and cheaper way to go. You do have to have your ballot in the mail by the 7th or it won’t count. Don’t forget to sign it. Wednesday the 9th is the Red Cross blood drive. It will be at the Stake Center from 1:00 to 7:00 pm. The blood demand is really high at this time and the Red Cross is reporting a real shortage. The Panguitch area is one of the Red Cross best collection areas, we out donate many of the big Cities like St. George. Give Jenifer Bremner a call at (676-8211) for reservations. You can also just come, but you might have to wait if you do. Bring a picture ID with you. ATTENTION ALL VETERANS! The American Legion

will be hosting their annual Veterans Day dinner. All Veterans and their Spouses and Widows of Veterans from the Hatch and Panguitch area are invited. The dinner will be held at the Senior Center and will start at 6:30. Please give me a call at (6762418) so we can get a count. The dinner is free and will be prepared by chefs at the senior center, there will be entertainment also. All Veterans are encourage to attend the Panguitch Elementary School’s annual salute to Veterans, on Friday morning, (I think it will be at 10:00 am). This is a fun event and the students put on a nice program. Last but not least is the annual Craft Fair and it is on Saturday the-12th at the Fair Building. It starts at 10:00 am and there are usually big crowds, come early for the best deals. Santa will have her Chocolate booth with all the best candy in southern Utah for sale to raise money for Sub for Santa to bring Christmas Joy to many of the children in our area. Well if that’s not enough you can throw my birthday in there somewhere. No good deed should go unnoticed! A letter from Eddie and Bobbie Allison. “ Yesterday I met the four most awesome boys. Eddie and I came home and discovered some boys with large rakes, huge black trash bags filled with leaves, 23 in all were in one area. ‘Eddie said who and how much do we owe for doing all this work?’ The boys announced there were no charges, they just wanted to get the leaves all raked up for us. We had never seen or met these boys

before! Their names are Tucker, Justice, Skyler and Owen. They continued to work until almost dark and said they would be back in a week to finish off the job, they though the rest of the leaves would have fallen by then. Such a kind project they did for us, no pay, didn’t have to be asked, they just wanted to help us out. Thank so much Owen, Tucker, Skyler and Justice. Eddie and Bobbie Allison.” From the SLC Tribune, Conservation nonprofit says the American Land Council’s (ALC) fight to take over federal lands is fizzling as Utah’s county governments are fleeing. 24 of the 53 counties once listed as ALC members including 6 from Utah have quit paying dues. These 6 includes Garfield Co. have asked to be dropped from the ALC’s rolls. The dues range from $1,000 to $25,000, Washington County does pay $25,000 annually. ALC took in $330,000 from dues, former ALC Pres. Rep. Ken Ivory is a Republican from West Jordan received $135,000 and

his wife $18,000 in wages. This last summer a group of attorney generals from 15 western states approved an analysis that cast doubt on Utah’s chances of successfully suing for control of federal lands. Their report cautions that the U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly found that the Property Clause of the Constitution gives the U.S. government the right to own public lands. Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes abstained from the 11-1 vote to approve the analysis. To continue this litigation will cost the tax payers from Utah $14, million, for out of state lawyers. You might want to check your property tax this year; the Tribune is reporting that 52 local governments are raising property taxes this year. I checked mine and it really went up and I will be at the Court House this week to see what is going on. I will be glad that the election is finally here, two years of politicking wears one out.

USDA Announces Streamlined Guaranteed Loans and Additional Lender Category for Small-Scale Operators WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced the availability of a streamlined version of USDA guaranteed loans, which are tailored for smaller scale farms and urban producers. The program, called EZ Guarantee Loans, uses a simplified application process to help beginning, small, underserved and family farmers and ranchers apply for loans of up to $100,000 from USDA-approved lenders to purchase farmland or finance agricultural operations. “Over the past seven years, we have been transforming our loan programs at USDA so that they can be attainable and useful to all kinds and sizes of producers,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. “These EZ Guarantee Loans will help beginning and underserved farmers obtain the capital they need to get their operations off the ground, and they can also be helpful to those

who have been farming for some time but need extra help to expand or modernize their operations. USDA’s Farm Service Agency has offices in nearly every county in the country, and we encourage all farmers, including those in urban areas, to stop in and inquire about this program.” USDA today also unveiled a new category of lenders that will join traditional lenders, such as banks and credit unions, in offering USDA EZ Guarantee Loans. Microlenders, which include Community Development Financial Institutions and Rural Rehabilitation Corporations, will be able to offer their customers up to $50,000 of EZ Guaranteed Loans, helping to reach urban areas and underserved producers. Banks, credit unions and other traditional USDA-approved leaners, can offer customers up to $100,000 to help with agricultural operation costs. According to the 2012 Census of Agriculture, 75

percent of all farm operations gross less than $50,000 per year. EZ Guarantee Loans offer low interest rates and terms up to seven years for financing operating expenses and 40 years for financing the purchase of farm real estate. USDA-approved lenders can issue these loans with the Farm Service Agency (FSA) guaranteeing the loan up to 95 percent. USDA is providing a 90-day period for the public to review and comment on program improvements. To review program details, visit www.regulations.gov, reference RIN 0560-AI34 and follow the instructions to submit comments. More than half of all FSA loans go to new farmers and more than a quarter to underserved borrowers. FSA also offers loans of up to $5,000 to young farmers and ranchers though the Youth Loan Program. Loans are made to eligible youth to finance agricultural projects, with almost

USDA Awards Grants for New Product Innovation in Salem and Torrey, Utah SALT LAKE CITY Value-Added Producer Grant (VAPG) funds to explore product innovation and new marketing opportunities. “These business owners are utilizing one of the most sought-after funding sources offered by USDA,” Conine said. “Value-Added Producer Grants allow agricultural producers and small businesses some flexibility to innovate with less risk which advances their potential.” Today’s announcement in Utah is part of a larger,

nationwide announcement of 325 projects awarded to rural agricultural producers and small business owners throughout the country. VAPG grants can be used to develop new product lines from raw agricultural products or promote additional uses for established products. Grants awarded through this program are a key element of USDA’s Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food initiative, which coordinates the Department’s work on local and regional food systems, which

are a key component of rural economic development. Cornaby’s Farm in Salem, Utah, is receiving a grant of $250,000 to support the market introduction of a new product, developed from their farm-grown local raspberries. Stray Arrow Ranch, LLC in Torrey, Utah, is receiving a grant of $12,500 to produce a market feasibility study with the goal of creating a cidery plan for Utah’s first artisanal hard cider orchard. —USDA Rural Development

More Than 10,000 Pheasants Will be Released in Utah Utah’s General Pheasant Hunt Opens Nov. 5 SOUTHERN UTAH - If it’s been years since you hunted pheasants, it’s time to grab your gun and head afield. More than 10,000 pheasants will be released on 56 public hunting areas during Utah’s upcoming pheasant hunt. The hunt opens on Nov. 5. But you don’t have to hunt that day to get in on the action— pheasants will be released before each weekend of the hunt. The one exception is the week of Thanksgiving. That week, birds will be released early in the week so plenty of pheasants will be available to pursue over the Thanksgiving holiday. The Division of Wildlife Resources and Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife bought the birds from two private bird growers. The birds will be released in areas that have good pheasant habitat and good access for public hunters. “Birds will be placed on wildlife management areas, waterfowl management areas and Walk-In Access areas,” says Jason Robinson, upland game coordinator for the DWR. You can see where the birds will be released, and how to get to those areas, by looking at an interactive, online map. The map is available in the Upland game releases section at www.wildlife.utah.gov/uplandgame. On at least 13 of the areas—12 waterfowl management areas and the Utah Lake Wetland Preserve—you must use nontoxic shot (for example, steel shot) when hunting. Lead shot may not be used. More information about Utah’s Walk-in Access areas is available at www.wildlife.utah. gov/walkinaccess. — Division of Wildlife Resources

Ryan Franz Shakespear 1974 - 2016

TROPIC - Ryan Franz Shakespear, age 42, died Tuesday, October 25, 2016, in the backcountry of the Wahweap, south of his beloved home town of Tropic, Utah. Born June 1, 1974 in Panguitch, Utah, to Franz and Margaret Shakespear, their first child, becoming part of a large, close knit and loving family. The family’s closeness brought them together at every opportunity, hunting, family reunions, births, baptisms, ordinations and funerals. These experiences initiated Ryan’s love and commitment to family and family gatherings. He grew up and spent his youth helping his father Franz with the family farm, surrounded by the beauty of Bryce Valley and the canyons, trails and hills of Southern Utah. This started what would be a life-long love of the outdoors; especially of Utah’s outdoors. He attended elementary and high school in Tropic’s Bryce Valley Schools, played basketball and earned his Eagle Scout Award. After graduation served an LDS mission in Perth, Australia. While being away from Southern Utah for two years was extremely hard, he loved the people of Australia and his opportunity to serve there. After returning from his mission, he attended college at Southern Utah University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science. He met his beloved Erin Fagergren in 1995 and used his recent purchase of a new white Toyota pickup to ask her if she would like to take a ride. Over Ryan’s Dutch Oven dinners, feeding cows and driving the backroads of Bryce Valley they fell in love. They were married in the St. George Temple on September 12, 1997. Six loved children, three sons, then two daughters, and finally another son, came along. They recently celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary. Ryan’s greatest priority was always Erin and his family. All who knew him, especially his family, loved his laughter, sense of humor and his easy smile. Everyone was impressed with his ability to nap on the spot at any given moment and his willingness to dress up for Halloween and for silly themed family dinners. He was constantly helping everyone around him and often arrived late for dates with Erin because he was helping others with broken down or stuck cars. Ryan’s great love of the outdoors proved a perfect match for his employment. He began his federal career with the US Forest Service in Escalante, Utah. After graduation, he worked for the US Bureau of Land Management in Fillmore. His last position as Prescribed Fire Specialist with the US Bureau of Land Management in Cedar City, gave him the opportunity and responsibility to visit and know so much of the public lands from Fillmore Utah to the southwestern corner of Utah. He was proud of the vegetation restoration and resource improvement projects for which he was responsible. During his service, he was deployed on wild and prescribed fires throughout Utah, and the states of Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona, and Idaho. Through the years, he received many special achievement award for his outstanding work and accomplishments. He was also part of a team that was recognized by the Bureau of Land Management and sister agencies for their excellent resource management work. Ryan was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and served in many positions. He was ordained a High Priest at a young age, served in the Elder’s Quorum Presidency, Scoutmaster, as Young Men’s President and with Erin as Nursery Leaders. He loved working with the youth, especially because he was scoutmaster and youth leader to his own sons.

ESCALANTE - Grand Staircase Escalante Partners is happy to announce that Nicole Croft will begin as our new Executive Director this month. As a sixth-generation Utahan, Nicole grew up exploring the beauty of public lands in Utah and the West. Southern Utah had a particularly strong pull for her, and in 2007, she and her family moved to Escalante, Utah. In her time here she has been involved in communitydriven efforts as a volunteer for the Escalante Canyons Arts

Festival and the launch of the Escalante Farmers Market in 2008. Working as an educator and administrator in the non-profit sector since 2007, she completed a Master’s Degree in Community Leadership from Westminster College in Salt Lake City in 2015 where her focus was on rural sustainability and understanding the perspectives of stakeholders living around the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. She loves exploring the canyons with her husband,

Jacob, spending time with her two grown children, and nurturing gardens. Nicole will continue to reside in Escalante and travel frequently to Kanab and the other communities that surround Grand StaircaseEscalante National Monument. Visit www.gsenm.org to learn more about the work Partners does to preserve and protect the Monument for the use and enjoyment of current and future generations. — Grand Staircase Escalante Partners

High Flow Experiment at Glen Canyon Dam PAGE, AZ – The Bureau of Reclamation will increase water releases from Glen Canyon Dam beginning on Monday, November 7, 2016 to support a high flow experiment (HFE) in partnership with the National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and U.S. Geological Survey. This high flow experiment will include a peak magnitude release of approximately 36,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) for 96 hours to move accumulated sediment downstream to help rebuild beaches and backwa-

ter habitats. The decision to conduct this HFE was made following substantial consultation with Colorado River Basin states, American Indian tribes and involved federal and state agencies. Reclamation and National Park Service officials remind recreational users to use caution along the Colorado River through Glen and Grand Canyons during the entire week of November 7. Flow level information will be posted at multiple locations in both Glen Canyon National Recreation Area

and Grand Canyon National Park. Note that it will take several hours following the beginning and end of the HFE for high flow waters to reach and then recede at downstream locations in the canyons. High flow experiments benefit the Colorado River ecosystem through Glen and Grand Canyons by moving sand in the river channel and re-depositing it in downstream reaches as sandbars and beaches. Those sandbars provide habitat for wildlife, serve as camping beaches for recreationists and

supply sand needed to protect archaeological sites. High flows may also create backwater areas used by young native fishes, particularly the endangered humpback chub. The HFE will not change the total annual amount of water released from Lake Powell to Lake Mead. Releases later in the water year will be adjusted to compensate for the high volume released during this high flow experiment. —Glen Canyon National Recreation Area

Nationally, more than $100 million was awarded to 1,304 health centers in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and seven territories for quality improvement efforts. Nearly 1,400 health centers operating over 9,800 sites pro-

United States Department of Health and Human Services Awards $980,963 to Improve Utah's Health Center Quality SALT LAKE CITY - Utah is receiving 13 awards totaling $980,963 to invest in health center quality improvement efforts, and to provide high quality comprehensive care. Health centers in Utah will use these funds to expand current quality improvement systems and infrastructure and to improve primary care service delivery in the communities they serve. “Millions of Americans rely on health centers to provide them with quality health care,” said Dr. Mary Wakefield, HHS Acting Deputy Secretary. “These quality improvement awards will support health centers to continue to deliver superior health care that engages patients, improves care coordination and bridges overall access to care.” Health centers are receiving these FY 16 funds based upon high levels of performance in one or more of the following categories: Improving Quality of Care, Advancing Health Equity, Maintaining Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) Recognition, Enhancing Access to Care, and Delivering Value. This funding comes from the Affordable Care Act’s Community Health Center (CHC) Fund, which was extended with bipartisan support in the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) of 2015. “Health centers are evaluated on a set of performance measures emphasizing health outcomes and the value of care delivered,” said Health Resourc-

sudoku Answers for this week From Page 5

What This Election is Really About This election is about a change in direction for America. It is about ideology. It is about three to five new Supreme Court Justices. It is about the military. It is about cleaning up the corruption of the IRS, the Justice Department, the FBI, the State Department, The Iran Deal, Obama Care, the environment extremists running the west and all lands, and it is about the corruption of Congress and possibly many Republicans, to name a few. The Clinton Machine and the media would have us believe that it is about any and/ or all other things, but it is not! It is about the ideology and the promise to make America great again! Stay the course. Vote for a better future. Vote for the preservation of The West. Vote for cleaning up our American government. Give Trump a chance. We’ve got everything to gain and nothing to lose! Here’s our chance to take back The West from the radical environmentalists! Met Johnson, Former member of the Utah House of Representatives
