Labor Department Aids Economic Development in Local Energy Industries CEDAR CITY - A $400,000 appropriation from the U.S. Department of Labor is helping Southwest Applied Technology College and Southern Utah University’s Business Resource Center educate the public while training the workforce and laying the groundwork for regional economic development in renewable energy. “Southern Utah is unique because we have commercialscale solar, wind, geothermal and bio-mass energy resources available,” said Jake Hardman, coordinator of the ATC’s Southwest Utah Renewable Energy Center. “That can create jobs, and jobs create a tax base.”

Resource Center for programs designed to fulfill Congressional directives that accompany the appropriation. Cottam said Southwest ATC has used its portion of the funds to develop the Energy Academy, which he called “the workforce training component that the Department of Labor was so interested in.” The Energy Academy provides courses and certification in wind and solar energy; Southwest ATC is currently training renewable energy professionals.

An important part of Hardman’s role as SUTREC coordinator is overseeing outreach programs. “Jake reaches tons of people,” Cottam said. Hardman said one of his most effective outreach devices is the SUTREC Early Education trailer, a teaching center on wheels he hauls all over the region to teach people about renewable energy. “We can take it anywhere — from Millard County to the Utah-Arizona border, from St. George to Montezuma Creek,” Hardman said. “We’ve gone to festivals at downtown parks, the Utah Summer Games, SUU’s Earthfest, the Chamber of Commerce Business Expo, and the Utah Rural Summit.” One of his biggest audiences is public school students, Hardman said. “We try to expose them to the idea that renewable energy is a smart, safe alternative that takes advantage of our natural resources,” he said. “It’s surprising how much the kids already know and how much they’re able to understand about renewable energy and technology.” Hardman said the trailer has created “an incredible buzz” among people who have seen it in action. “There are only two or three others in the entire country that are similar, but they’re nothing on this scale,” he said. The equipment, design and manufacture of the trailer cost about $50,000, which Hardman said is money wellspent. Cont’d on page 2

Wayne County to Participate in “Local First” Impact Study

WAYNE CO - Most of us can readily get behind the idea of doing our shopping with local businesses for the sake of supporting our friends and neighbors. What is less easy to see is that there may be significantly greater benefits to the local economy of buying locally that go beyond our initial purchases of groceries, cookies, clothing or hardware. Now, thanks to a new initiative in Wayne County, a nationally acclaimed study group will help provide a spotlight on the “multiplier effect” that buying locally has on the local economy. Civic Economics, a Chicago-based economic analysis and strategic planning firm, in conjunction with the National Booksellers Association and Local First Utah, will work with fifteen Wayne County restaurants and retail businesses to evaluate community reinvestment. These independent or “Indie” businesses are scored and compared with chain com-

petitors in a number of “community impact” categories, including profits and wages paid to local workers, procurement of local goods for internal use and for resale, and charitable giving within the community. “Wayne County is not only the first rural community in Utah, but the first rural community nationally to participate in an Indie Impact Study, so this is really exciting,” said Nan Seymour, Executive Director of Local First Utah, which is based in Salt Lake City. Similar Indie Impact Studies have taken place in Austin, Chicago, San Francisco, Phoenix, New Orleans, and, just this past summer, in Salt Lake City. Results of the Salt Lake City study of fifteen retailers and seven restaurants, all independent and locally-owned, showed that the retailers returned a total of 52.0% of all revenue to the local economy while the local restaurateurs returned 78.6%. Compared with four major national chain stores (Barnes

Particpants in the First Annual Pumpkin Launch on November 1 at the Bicknell Comunity Center practiced hurling projectiles (pumpkins) on their new trebuchet, in addition to an array of other “ginormous” sling shots.

Bicknell Gets Medieval

So, Bicknell now has a trebuchet, and they are learning how to use it. You’re wondering: What the heck IS a trebuchet? Here’s a basic definition: treb·u·chet/ˌtrebyəˈSHet/ Noun: A machine used in medieval siege warfare for hurling large stones or other missiles. Or, from Wikipedia: “A trebuchet is a siege engine that was employed in the Middle Ages. It is sometimes called a “counterweight trebuchet” or “counterpoise trebuchet” in order to distinguish it from an earlier weapon that has come to be called the “traction trebuchet”, the original version with pulling men instead of a counterweight. The counterweight trebuchet appeared in both Christian and Muslim lands around the Mediterranean in the twelfth century. It could fling projectiles of up to three hundred and fifty pounds at high speeds into enemy fortifications.” Pay attention, Garfield. It seems like Wayne is up to something. And be on the alert when driving through Bicknell.

Of national restaurant chains (Darden, McDonald’s, and P.F. Chang’s), these restaurants recirculated an average of 30.4% of revenues locally. “I think the idea is, we can grow our economy in a number of different ways, and one of the quickest ways you can have a positive impact on a local community is to support what is already there,” said Marci Milligan, a resident of Grover who is also a board member of Local First Utah. “So, we’d like to take look at how does buying at Royals Foodtown or The Chuckwagon impact or change our local economy compared with driving to Richfield for groceries?” Though, she stressed, “The idea is ‘local first’ not ‘local only,’” added Milligan. Fortunately for Wayne County, the cost of the study, which would normally be about $10,000, will cost only $1,800. The National Booksellers Association picks up a large part of the tab if there is a local, independent bookseller involved as a sponsor. Local sponsors will include Robber’s Roost Bookstore, The Wayne County Business Association, Lotus Community Development, The Entrada Institute and a number of local citizens. Wayne County businesses will be taking part in the study over the next couple of weeks, and the results are expected to be available in early 2013. Meanwhile, as part of their ongoing efforts to highlight local business communities throughout the state, Local First Utah will be exhibiting “The Torrey Story” as part of a photographic exhibition at the Salt Lake City and County Building called “Risk Takers and Place Makers.” The exhibit will be on display throughout November. —Insider Report

Letters

National Park Service Will Waive Entrance Fees

An Appeal for Adaptive Forestry This letter is an appeal for County-wide support for the proposal from the Wayne County Commissioners to the Forest Service of July 20, 2012, to allow and facilitate a salvage program for the fire-killed timber on Boulder Mountain (from the Lost Lake Fire). I believe this proposal is one that we can come together in support of – and it needs our help. The Commissioners acknowledged that much of the area is inventoried as roadless. They made the argument that Wayne County’s unemployment rate is the highest in Utah and there is a need for timber for local mills. It seems there is considerable fire-killed timber that could be harvested from existing roads, reducing potential for future fires; beetle and budworm-killed trees could be harvested from existing roads. They appealed for “innovative ways to involve local operators and their crews as well as local workers to help with other restoration projects. Removal of fire-killed and decadent aspen to improve wildlife habitat would be a beneficial action.” This proposal went to Allen Rowley, Forest Supervisor of the Fishlake National Forest, with copies to our Senators and others, as it must be approved at the National level. Having been into the burn area it seems important that this type of program happen. Clearly, other areas of the forest also need cleaning out to reduce fire threats. There are many existing roads from which this can happen. Rather than extreme policies such as “Get rid of all restrictions on logging” or “No logging on the mountain,” there should be ways to adapt to existing circumstances without opening up the forests to greater destruction. What I hope most people in Wayne County might agree upon (as well as those visiting our

public lands from elsewhere), would be a cleaned-up forest with sustainable logging by locals – no big corporations coming in to clear-cut vast areas and destroy wildlife habitat and pollute water, no biological and chemical weapons to kill vegetation and poison the soil, not chaining but rather thoughtful culling of the forest – the removal of fallen timber, dead and diseased trees, some mature trees, done by small, local businesses using mechanical means, only, on a scale to allow for perpetual harvesting and continual renewal of the forest. Logging guided by forest science, not by maximum profit at the expense of the forest. Such sustainable logging can create jobs and income currently, yet does not destroy the land, its beauty, animal habitat and the future economic potential of tourism and recreation. Why not find solutions and policies that create a win-win situation, instead of the current win-lose framework we seem to be stuck in? America’s “founding fathers” had in mind a knowledgeable and involved citizenry when our government was created. If the Commissioners’ proposal seems appropriate to you, the best support (or opposition if you are so inclined) would probably be letters to Senators Hatch and Lee, requesting immediate action at the National level, with a copy to Allen Rowley, Forest Supervisor of the Fishlake National Forest. Addresses can always be obtained off the Internet. Because this is public land belonging to all of us, all citizens have the right to make their voices heard. Policies that benefit “the whole,” both in the short-term and the longterm - policies that are win/ win, as I believe this proposal to be - need to be encouraged. Bonnie Mangold Teasdale

“We’re educating children about their future, and not only the children, but everyone else, too,” he said. “Renewable energy works, it’s affordable, and in my opinion, it has nothing to do with politics.” During the 2012-13 academic year, Hardman estimates he will make 20 school visits and attend another 15 to 20 events — an average of one visit each week to a school or public event from mid-August to late May. “We definitely have a lot more requests than we’ll be able to satisfy,” he said. With an eye on economic development, SUTREC’s goals fit nicely with those of the Business Resource Center. “One way to make a good living is to use what already exists in your backyard,” Hardman said. “We won’t run out of wind, sun or hot water. These are natural resources that will always be there. It’s not a political or an environ-

ment issues; it’s an economic development issue. It’s about using our natural resources to our advantage.” Cottam said the Business Resource Center portion of the Labor Department appropriation supports the Business Expansion and Retention program. “This money helps the BRC focus on existing renewable energy businesses, as well as businesses that could or already do provide products or services to renewable energy businesses,” he said. He added, “If we can ensure that future renewableenergy businesses can obtain necessary products or services from existing local businesses, therein lies the value. We aim to keep existing renewableenergy commerce local.” BEAR is all about “finding out what products or services we already have available locally and plugging them into local businesses,” Cottam said. —SUU Office of Regional Services

Think “Safety” When Visiting the National Forest

RICHFIELD - Winter in central Utah is a wonderful time to experience your national forest. Whether you enjoy snowmobiling, skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing or just driving into the forest, safety should be first on your list. Being prepared for the cold and planning for the unexpected can make the journey more enjoyable and ensure that you return home safely. First, make sure you tell someone where you’re going, who you’re with and when you plan to be back. Give them an emergency contact number, such as a cell phone number they can call if you’re late. Also, get their number so that you can call if there’s an emergency, or if you think you’ll be late. Pack a survival kit for your car with blankets or sleeping bags, extra warm clothes, food, something to start a warming fire and plenty of drinking water. It’s also good to have a tool kit with jumper cables and a tow rope, as well as a shovel and kitty litter should you get stuck. Dress in layers so that you can adjust to changing weather conditions. Modern synthetic garments and wool are best for keeping you dry and warm. Avoid cotton such as denim. When wet, cotton wicks heat from your body and is slow to dry. Wear a wool hat or cap—up to 75% of our body heat is lost through the top of the head. Finally, before you go know the current and expected weather forecast as well as any avalanche warnings. Visitors should have a copy of the Fishlake Travel Map to help them know where they can travel on the forest. Pick up a free map at any Forest office.

The National Park Service will offer two fee-free weekends this winter to encourage Americans to visit these national treasures. There are 398 national park units located across the country in 49 states, and most Americans live less than a day’s drive from a park. National Park Service sites across the country that charge fees for entry will waive these entrance fees during the weekends of November 10-12, 2012 and January 19-21, 2013. More information on the fees and discounts can be found at http://www.nps.gov/ findapark/feefreeparks.htm. Capitol Reef National Park’s visitor center will be closed on winter federal holidays including: November 12, November 22, December 25, 2012; January 1, January 21, and February 18, 2013. The park itself is open continuously. The National Park Service website provides information to help the public plan their park adventures at www. nps.gov or contact us at 435425-3791 and follow us on www.twitter.com/CapitoIReefNPS and www.facebook. com/CapitoIReefNPS.

National Park Service Issues Mussel Monitoring Update for Lake Powell PAGE, AZ – Recent monitoring samples from Lake Powell have revealed evidence of microscopic Quagga mussel larvae and the National Park Service (NPS) has accelerated laboratory and field efforts to identify the source, reported Glen Canyon National Recreation Area Superintendent Todd Brindle. Quagga mussel larvae and DNA were found in separate water samples collected near Antelope Point and Glen Canyon Dam. “We don’t know yet if there is a population trying to establish in the lake,” said Brindle. “The DNA can last after the organism is dead, so there is a possibility that it could have washed off boats that had been in other infested waters.” NPS aquatic ecologist Mark Anderson provided additional details on the sampling results. “The bodies of four larval mussels were found in four different samples near

the Glen Canyon Dam. The sampling process kills mussel larvae so it is not known if any of them were alive in the lake,” stated Anderson. “One of them had a broken shell, suggesting that it was dead when it was collected.” Anderson explained that testing occurs using two separate methods: DNA and microscopy. The DNA method is more sensitive and potentially detects the presence earlier, but can be less accurate. Detection using microscopes is more accurate but requires an organism or piece of organism that is large enough to be visible in the microscope. Samples are taken using both methods at multiple sites around Lake Powell. Superintendent Brindle remains hopeful that the monitoring results are not evidence of an established population of mussels. If it is an early detection, the mussels may not es-

tablish and grow into adults, said Brindle. “Scientists are not sure why but many western waters have shown similar findings and then never developed a noticeable population, such as at Lake Granby, Lake Pueblo, Electric Lake, Red Fleet, Navajo Lake, Grand, Shadow Mountain, Willow Creek, and even Lake Powell in 2007.” In the meantime, monitoring and testing by the NPS will continue. “It is possible that these results will not be duplicated and a population of Quagga mussels is not developing,” said Anderson. In addition to the water sampling, NPS divers and underwater remote operated vessels will be used to search for adult mussels. “However, if test results continue to show positive for DNA or if there are adult mussels visible, it could indicate that a population is starting,” Anderson said.

If there is a population of mussels, Superintendent Brindle said he is committed to working with all agencies and partners to determine the extent of the population and investigate and implement strategies for control. Depending on the extent of an early population, removing, wrapping or burying the mussel colony might be effective in preventing additional reproduction. “We will continue the boat inspections that are currently in place,” Anderson stated. “Prevention is still the most effective way to fight invasive species. Continue to clean, drain, and dry your boat and equipment after every use.” Additional monitoring information and updates are posted on the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area webpage at www.nps.gov/ glca/.

FAQs: Mussel Monitoring Update for Lake Powell 1. What life stage of Quagga mussel was found? The larval stage was found. The larvae detected in Lake Powell appeared to be about half-way through their development and were about the thickness of a human hair. DNA was also found in Lake Powell, but it is not specific to a life stage. DNA is present in any Quagga mussel tissue from egg to adults. We can only tell DNA was present. 2. Where were microscopic larval mussels found? The bodies of four larval mussels were found in four different samples near the Glen Canyon Dam. The sampling process kills mussel larvae so it is not known if any of them were alive in the lake. One of them had a broken shell, suggesting that it was dead when it was collected. 3. Where was the DNA found? The NPS laboratory found Quagga mussel DNA in a sample near Antelope Point and also in a sample near the Glen Canyon Dam. 4. What is the next stage of development of larval mussels? To reproduce, Quagga mussels eject sperm and eggs into the water where they combine. The larvae continue floating free for about a month, developing the shell and body structures that are typical of

adult mussels. By the time Quagga larvae reach twice the size of those collected, they will be seeking a place to settle and attach with strong threads, which they secrete. Once attached, the mussels can grow to about an inch long. 5. Does Lake Powell have reproducing mussels? We don’t know. The monitoring results are what we would expect to see if an early population was establishing. There are other scenarios where these results could be found. Dead mussels may have been introduced into the lake from boats or contamination may have occurred in the sampling or laboratory. If it is an early detection, the mussels may not establish and grow into adults; scientists are not sure why this happens. Many western waters have shown similar findings and then never developed a noticeable population, including Lake Granby, Lake Pueblo, Electric Lake, Red Fleet, Navajo Lake, Grand, Shadow Mountain, Willow Creek, and even Lake Powell in 2007. 6. How could mussel DNA have gotten into the lake? DNA could wash off boats that have been used in infested waters. DNA will persist after an organism is dead. The DNA could also indicate that mussels are present in the

lake and reproducing. November 1, 2012 7. How will we determine if there are reproducing mussels in Lake Powell? Monitoring will continue. We also might never see these results again. Divers and a remotely operated submarine will be used to search for adult mussels. 8. If the reproducing mussels are in Lake Powell, what are the next steps? If there is a population of mussels, NPS will work with partners to investigate the extent of the population. With an understanding of the population’s location and size, strategies for control can be investigated. If the adult population is small and limited in extent, there may be a chance to eliminate that population. 9. What control strategies exist? Many control strategies exist for Quagga mussels and other aquatic invasive species. More information about a target population would be required to evaluate the applicability of an approach. See the Control Strategy Table. 10. If control strategies are not effective, how soon could Lake Powell start experiencing mussel impacts? Should a mussel population get established and spread, it could be several years before their presence

would be obvious. Spreading lake-wide could take considerably longer. 11. What can the public do to help? Clean, drain, and dry! The spread of mussels and other aquatic invasive species is preventable. Cooperate with prevention program efforts at Lake Powell and other places where people are trying to protect their waters. Always make sure your vessels and equipment are not causing the problem. Spread the message, not the mussels. 12. Are boat inspections still required at Lake Powell? The NPS will continue all of our mussel prevention activities including inspections of boats. Preventing the spread of Quagga mussels and other aquatic invasive species is more important than ever. We have only found evidence of immature quagga mussels floating in the water. 13. Can boats leaving Lake Powell spread mussels to other waters now? Not if boaters practice “Clean, Drain, and Dry” and treat their boats and equipment to prevent spreading aquatic species. 14. What effect will this have on the Colorado River below the dam in Glen and Grand canyons? Cont’d on page 4

Wayne Travel Council Meeting

The “What and Why” of Public Administration by Adus F. Dorsey, II, Mayor of Torrey Town Public Administration is the action part of the government, the means by which the purposes and goals of government is realized; public administration as a field is mainly concerned with the means for implementing political values. The process of public administration consists of the actions involved in effecting the intent or desire of the government. It is thus the continuously active ‘business’ part of the government , concerned with carrying out the law, as made by legislative bodies or from other authoritative agents. Public administration is a cooperative effort in a public setting. In the United States, the federal and state constitutions define the environment of public administration and place unique constraints upon it. Sovereignty is the concept that somewhere in a political community there is an ultimate repository of supreme political power and authority. In the United States, sovereignty resides in the people, as whole, who exercise it through representative government. Public administration and public employment, in particular, are considered to be a “public trust”. Public administrators are engaged in the formulation and implementation of policies that allocate resources, values, and status in a fashion that is binding upon the society as a whole. Although public administration is thought of in terms of providing services to the public, it is also true that public administrators are engaged in regulation of the public. Public service and civil service is not a service at all but rather an authoritarian

regulatory force used to place constraints on the public, one persons service often turns out to be another’s constraint. As an example, welfare programs undeniably provide a service, but at the same time they place constraints upon the behavior of the recipients. The same is true with agencies like the Internal Revenue Service, Consumer protection, etc. etc. Those who define public administration in managerial terms and take a business approach to it tend to minimize the distinctions between public and private administration. In their view, public administration is essentially the same as big business and ought to be run according to the same managerial principles and values. As we have seen in our recent Presidential shoot out it was clear that at least one candidate stressed abilities to “manage” the huge federal bureaucracy to make it more efficient. The roots of the managerial approach to public administration go way back to the 1850’s. It was the nineteenthcentury civil service reformers who first promoted the idea of organizing the public service. The reformers chief complaints were that political patronage appointments to public service at all levels of government led to corruption, inefficiency, and the emergence of a class of politicians “spoilsmen” as they were once referred to. In fact, one wellknown historian of the 1850’s insisted the federal service had become staffed by the nations “refuse”. What civil service reform demanded was that the business part of the government

shall be carried on in a sound businesslike manner. In order for it to become more business like, it had to be non-political. Consequently, appointments were to be made on the basis of “merit” and “fitness” rather political partisanship. Once politics was rejected as the basis for hiring and firing public administrators, the reformers believed that the selection and tenure of public servants could be based on their efficiency and performance. The aspect of the managerial approach was most influentially put forward by Woodrow Wilson, who in the 1880’s, could be counted among the strong supporters of civil service reform. Public administration is complex and problematic. Just about everywhere, public bureaucrats are the butt of complaints, grievances and jokes. They are denounced for their vast power on the one hand and ineffectuality and lackadaisical performance on the other. Virtually everyone has had an unsatisfying and somewhat bizarre encounter with a bureaucrat. But the fact is, as a whole American society is thoroughly dependent upon public administrators for the provision of public services, regulation of economy, and national defense. Improvements in their performance are certainly possible and desirable, but whether we like it or not there is every reason to believe that the “administrative state” is here to stay.

Panguitch City Pool Update My intention with this article is to simply inform the public of the current status of the Panguitch City pool. On October 30th, 2012 the Garfield County School Board met with Panguitch City to discuss the Panguitch City Pool. Panguitch City requested the meeting with School Board; it was held in Tropic at the Heritage Center. The School District held a regular School Board meeting to discuss options associated with the pool. Some of the Panguitch City council members discussed numbers they would consider to sell the pool to the School District. The money to purchase the pool will come out of the District capital account which is not money used to pay for salaries; it is used for buildings and building maintenance. The School Board made a motion to cancel the pool agreement with Panguitch City, purchase the swimming pool and easement for $181,000 and also provide the District with the option to use the wrestling room in the old high school for two years. The motion was seconded; the vote was three in favor of the motion, one apposed and one abstention so the motion passed 3-1-1. Panguitch City did not have formal City Council meeting so they could not make any motion in the meeting. Panguitch City will meet to discuss this proposal on Tuesday November 13th at 6:30 pm. —Ben Dalton

by Maren Stewart, Fifth Grade This week was a blast for all the students. At the carnival there were lots of fun games and tons of candy. All the games were fun and creative. The games had great prizes, the bake sale was awsome! There are tons of great cooks in Tropic. we had fun with friends and even made some new ones! Halloween was so cool! Thanks to all the volunteers who made the Carnival so successful. The PTA put a lot of hard work and time into organizing the events that took place. Thanks to the teachers, students and those who came and supported the Carnival.

by Erin Hayden

Hey everyone! Hope you all had an excellent week and a nice Halloween. There were some great costumes at the high school. After a normal day of school, we had an assembly where there were a few activities for each class. 8th grade and the seniors won the activities. The Halloween Carnival at the Elementary was a success. On Friday November 2nd, Josten’s visited the school for the sophomores, juniors and seniors. Sophomores and juniors were able to buy a school ring and the seniors were able to purchase their caps and gowns along with other senior souvenirs. Also on Friday was the pref dance. It was a success and had delicious snacks. Students had fun and enjoyed the dance. On Friday as well was Upward Bound’s on-campus. Students who attended had a great time. Their college tours are on the 16th and 17th of this month. Basketball practice began on Monday the 5th. Everyone’s excited for the new basketball season. Good luck Mustangs. On Tuesday the 6th, Mr. Suggett is taking his Physics class, which also includes students from Panguitch, to SUU for a day on campus doing different activities.

For Your Health Understanding Migraine Headaches Quagga Mussels Cont’d from page 2

If a large infestation of Quagga mussels existed in Lake Powell, large numbers of mussel larvae might travel through the dam. The larvae that survived would seek to attach in low flow areas. It is not known if they could reach high numbers. The Arizona Canal has not yet developed large populations of mussels despite larvae being delivered from the Lower Colorado River. 15. What has the NPS done to stop mussels at Lake Powell? The NPS has operated a mussel prevention program at Lake Powell since 2000. Over a decade ago, scientists predicted that Lake Powell would be the first lake in the western U.S. to get mussels. The number of high-risk boats coming to the park has increased exponentially in that time. Prior to 2007 and the discovery of mussels in the west, Lake Powell was threatened by about 50 high-risk boats per year from eastern states. In 2011 alone, that number was 17,000. 38 boats with mussels were stopped from launching in 2012, over twice the number in 2011. The increased pressure has required the park to screen boats to determine the highest risks and focus our

limited capability where it was needed most. At busy times, as few as 15% of boats may actually get inspected. 16. How does NPS monitoring at Lake Powell compare to other mussel monitoring programs? No other lake on earth is as intensely monitored for mussels as Lake Powell. The NPS processes hundreds of samples each year. The NPS uses 4 early detection methods, including microscopic analysis, automated particle analysis (FlowCAM), Polymerase Chain Reaction (the DNA test), and deployment of artificial substrates to detect early colonization. Sampling occurs lake-wide at routine sites like marinas and the dam; computers are also used to determine random sampling locations throughout the lake. More samples collected are from areas where there are the most boats. Using both routine and random sampling as well as multiple early detection methodologies is expected to increase the chances of very early detection. Control of any invasive species is easiest when caught early. If these current findings represent a population, the best chances have been created for successful control. —National Park Service

What Is a Migraine? Just about everyone has headaches, but a migraine is not just a bad headache. A migraine headache is a complex condition of the nervous system. It is often described as an intense pulsing or throbbing pain that usually occurs in 1 area of the head. Migraine attacks may cause severe, debilitating pain for hours to days, necessitating the need to retreat to a dark, quiet place. A migraine headache is often accompanied by additional symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. About one-third of affected people can predict the start of a migraine because they experience sensory warning symptoms (also called “aura”). These early-warning symptoms may include flashes of light, blind spots, zig-zag lines, temporary loss of vision, or tingling in the arm or leg. What Causes Migraines? Scientists still do not know for certain what causes migraines. Migraines could involve disturbances in nerve pathways and brain chemicals that affect blood vessels near the brain’s surface. The blood vessels swell, sending pain to the brain stem (an area that processes pain information). A genetic predisposition to migraine may exist, as it often runs in families. Recurring migraine attacks are caused by a number of different triggers. Recognizing and recording individual triggers in a headache diary or calendar may be useful in helping to prevent future attacks. How Can I Treat My Migraine Headache? There is no cure for migraine. There are 2 ways to approach treating migraines with medicine. You can take medicine during migraine attacks to relieve symptoms (acute treatment) or you can take medicine daily to prevent or reduce attacks and lessen the intensity of the pain (preventive treatment). Acute treatment consists of over-the-counter pain relievers (or analgesics) such as acetaminophen, aspirin, and ibuprofen. If these products do not work for you, your doctor may prescribe medication that may include a stronger analgesic and/ or a drug that acts more specifically on the cause of migraines. These migraine-specific treatments may include drugs from the “triptan” class (such as sumatriptan, almotriptan, or zolmitriptan), or “ergot-type” products such as dihydroergotamine nasal spray. If needed, drugs for nausea and vomiting may also be prescribed. The sooner these treatments are administered, the more effective they are. If you have frequent migraine attacks, if your attacks do not respond consistently to migraine-specific treatments, or if acute medications are ineffective or cannot be used because of other medical problems, then preventive treatment may be prescribed. Certain drugs originally developed for epilepsy, depression, or high blood pressure have been shown to be effective in preventing migraine attacks. Botulinum toxin A, which is injected into muscles in the head and neck, has also been shown to be effective in prevention of chronic migraine. What Are Rebound Headaches? Rebound headaches (or medication-overuse headaches) are caused by frequent use of headache medication. They are also the MOST common cause of progression from episodic migraine (where attacks occur occasionally or infrequently) to chronic migraine (where attacks occur more frequently or regularly). If you use acute over-the-counter and prescription drugs too often (more than 2-3 days per week), it can create a headache-worsening pattern that results in more headaches and the need to take more medicine. This pattern is harmful, and while in this cycle, other treatments often don’t work. The only way to break this cycle is to stop the pattern of overuse, which should be done under a doctor’s care. Also, overuse of certain anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen or naproxen sodium, may cause stomach irritation and even ulcers. Excessive use of acetaminophen may increase the risk of liver problems in certain people. Can Migraines Increase the Risk of Stroke? Although the symptoms of severe migraine attacks can cause fear that you are having a stroke, the likelihood of a migraine causing a stroke is small. It is true, however, that in people younger than 40 years (or in someone with long-term, untreated migraine with aura), the most common associated factor for stroke is migraine. Migraine sufferers should avoid other risk factors for stroke, such as smoking, high- cholesterol diets, estrogen use, and untreated high blood pressure. Individuals who experience stroke-like symptoms (numbness or slurred speech) should seek immediate medical attention. Remember, if you have questions, Consult Your Pharmacist

Every1Counts By Cynthia Kimball Below is a recent Facebook response I posted after I uploaded a video on one of our presidential candidates and received negative (and sometimes mean) responses. So, I decided to respond back finding each of my friend’s virtues instead of joining the negative bandwagon. Here is the result. I hope after you read this that if ever you were to be mean or judge someone, that you would find their virtues instead. Happy virtue finding!

tHe lAuGhiNg pOiNt!!

Find Virtues, Pass It On so kind to me back in the F-M days (great Dwight Eisenhower quote by the way); RAT, for baptizing me into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Okinawan Serviceman’s Branch, for also putting family first (most amazing kids ever), for an almost 30-year career serving in our military (thank you for all your sacrifices also in some pretty scary places… thank you especially for your service in Vietnam) and for doing whatever it takes to become more Celestial and Christlike (now that is hot!); If I missed anyone, let me know. And if you would, please pray for my buddy, DeAnna Howe Rice (http://www.deannarice.com/), who is currently battling her fifth cancer and on chemo for the umpteenth time. She’s got a book on Amazon (see my profile pic), Fight Like a Mom. I’m sure she’d appreciate your support (if you can). And again, whatever you can do for our East Coast friends as well. I am grateful for your love and friendship. I appreciate and love you. Stay awesome, keep going, keep doing great things, and God Bless! xo, C PS-Find virtues, pass it on! PPS-Don’t be afraid to be you! (: Cynthia Kimball is a professional speaker and trainer through her company Every1Counts, LLC, and a doctoral student in Workforce Education Leadership. She also writes frequently through Deseret Connect. E-mail: kimball@ every1counts.net

:) Hey you guys PLEASE do not post any more political comments especially with what’s transpired this week with Hurricane Sandy. Let’s instead, if you don’t mind, send prayers (or energy or whatever you do) for relief, answers, peace, and comfort for them. And if you can, invite them for Thanksgiving and other holiday meals, to move in, whatever you can do. They need us. What a great place to focus our prayers, thoughts, time, energy, etc. And from now on, this is as political as I’m going to get, other than voting of course (since I’ve recently come to realize why I’m not in politics)… anyway, today in church, a sister told me about a professor who gave his class an assignment for them to write about the candidate they wouldn’t vote for stating all his virtues (so anyone looking for a class assignment, there you go). Anyway, that being said, I felt prompted to point out each one of your virtues: BB, Sr., for raising the most amazing son ever, BB,

Jr. (who I love and miss immensely), for working a job for 50 years (wow, what an accomplishment) and for always helping those in unfortunate circumstances (PS: I miss Petey); CML, for always including me as part of your family (and so proud of Trevor serving a mission in Salt Lake City), for putting family first (most amazing kids ever) and for being an excellent disciple of Christ (not to leave out telling me about the professor idea above); GLS, for always believing in me, for being an amazing dad (who has the most amazing daughter ever) and for a 22+ year career serving in our military (thank you for all your sacrifices, and still today, and in some pretty scary places); JK, for always being so kind to me at EWS, for taking care of your sister with cerebral palsy and for your noble research career in some pretty dangerous places to provide medicines for patients like me and others; LKP, for being the best roomie ever (even when I didn’t deserve you), for setting an excellent example of our Savior and for enduring and loving people no matter what; MPK, for enduring even when it seemed impossible in unfortunate circumstances, for opening my eyes to other ways of thinking and believing and for putting family first (most amazing kids ever); NB, it’s been a long time, yet, thank you for always being

In most states, animals are allowed to be the beneficiaries of a special trust that is created to take care of them. These are often referred to as “pet trusts”.

Sage Advice From Children, Part I

Santa’s Lap

As a little girl climbed onto Santa’s lap, Santa asked the usual question, “And what would you like for Christmas ?” The child stared at him open mouthed and horrified for a minute, then gasped: “Didn’t you get my E-mail?”

Inner Peace

I think I have found the secret to inner peace. I read an article that said the way to achieve inner peace is to finish things I had started. Today I finished two bags of potato chips, a chocolate pie, a bottle of wine and a small box of candy. I feel better already.

Negative Words

The counselor was giving advice: To gain self-confidence, you must avoid using negative words, such as “can’t” and “not.” Do you think you can do that? The young man responded: Well, I can’t see why not.

Never trust a dog to watch your food. —Patrick, Age 10 When you want something expensive, ask your grandparents. —Matthew,Age12 Never talk back to a teacher whose eyes and ears are twitching. —Andrew, Age 9 Wear a hat when feeding seagulls. —Rocky, Age 9 Sleep in your clothes so you’ll be dressed in the morning. —Stephanie, Age 8 Never try to hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk. — Rosemary, Age 7 Don’t flush the toilet when you’re dad’s in the shower. —Lamar, Age 10 Never ask for anything that costs more than five dollars when your parents are doing taxes. —Carrol, Age 9

Senior Safety

I failed a Health and Safety course at the Senior Center today. One of the questions was: “In the event of a fire, what steps would you take?” Apparently, “Great Big Ones” was the wrong answer.

Salesmanship

During a magazine and newspaper subscription drive, our son Philip, a paperboy, learned about good salesmanship. His supervisor had instructed the kids to maintain a positive attitude, even when turned down. One potential customer told Philip, “I’ve got papers and magazines strewn all over the place -- I don’t need any more.” Philip’s reply? “Well, how about a subscription to Good Housekeeping?”

TORREY News Adus Dorsey As part of his Eagle Scout project Jamen Brindley has been identifying and marking unidentified graves at the Torrey Cemetery under the direction of Councilperson Jen Howe. Jamen’s efforts are part of an over all effort to systematically identify all the graves in the Torrey cemetery with help from GIS expert Brandon Jensen,. Once completed Torrey Town will have a comprehensive map of who is buried where. The cemetery identification plot project has been a highly intense endeavor and will provide detailed remote Internet information and access to Torrey Town’s historical cemetery where some graves date as far back as veterans of the Indian wars. This Torrey Town project will aid future family members searching for ancestors and historians seeking answers. Also part of the Torrey Town cemetery project is the clean up and restoration of the old Torrey Town cemetery. For more information on how you can be part of this important community project, or if you as a Wayne County youth need service hours contact the Torrey Town office for further details. As soon as November 12th Torrey residents can expect to see a major Main Street tree trimming venture take place. Under the direction and efforts of Councilperson Janet Hansen and the Torrey Town Tree Committee, Torrey Town received an $8,000.00 matching grant from the Urban & Community Forestry & Utah Forestry, Fire and State Lands administration, with the help of Acting Deputy Director Meridith McAvoy Perkins.

Torrey Town continues to receive high praises for active efforts at preserving the historical cottonwood trees that line the Torrey Town Main Street and continuing efforts to constantly replace the aging Torrey cottonwood tree icons. Arbor Day comes around every year. Plan to plant a tree and keep Torrey’s Tree USA tradition alive. As redundant as it may be sounding, Torrey Town’s Water System improvements and system wide construction continues. Major headway has been made on the new water storage tank construction above the Sleeping Rainbow Sub Division, sometimes semi- affectionately referred to as Rudyville. A new Torrey Town eight-inch water line that will increase water flow, system capacity and improve fire suppression was successfully bored under Highway 12 near the Torrey Town Cemetery. Jackson Excavation elicited the expert help of C.A. Johnson and his million dollar Vermeer rock trencher to do the rock X (excavation) and complete the Peden Cut excavation to the Cal Boardman property, the John Benson and the Hatch lines. Presently Jackson Excavation crews under the supervision of Kirk Jackson are headed for the notorious Hell’s Hole red rock gap, replacing Air Vac’s and erasing erosion damage due to increased public ATV and weather related activity on U.S. Forest Service trails and Torrey Towns water line mountain leased property. Residents of Sleeping Rainbow Estates and area wide residents that are being affected by the Torrey Town

water project are requested to be patient during this important system wide water system upgrade. Water outages, traveling delays and road crossings are required during this construction process. As a reminder, New Yorkers are suffering from a more devastating fate, your understanding during this construction process is appreciated. As part of the record the Torrey Town Water system upgrade project has surpassed the halfway point, things will get better and will be complete by the spring of 2013. The weather in Torrey and Wayne County has been nothing short of fall fantastic. For the most part all the fall leaves have fallen off of the trees and are on the ground and being raked up into burn piles. Not a good week to hang semi-weekly washed bed sheets on the clothes lines and expect the fresh smell of the outdoors, particularly when local folks are reducing their annual raked up leaves into piles of burnt ashes and smoking up the neighborhood. As nervous and vigilant as some local Wayne County residents have become during the recent summer fire season, it is recommended that anyone putting a match to debris piles larger than a milk bucket contact the Richfield Dispatch office at 1 800 356 8757 to avoid interruption by your local law enforcement and fire authorities at your yearly yard clean up party. If you forgot to retrieve your trash can from the road on trash day / Halloween and it is now missing, it is a good possibility that it became part of semi attempt at construct-

ing a Stonehenge replica on the southwest corner lot in the northeast part of town by late night trick or treators. In what became an early morning delicate operation to deconstruct the trash can menagerie to reclaim one’s rolling refuse container it was quite the sight for neighbors that were cautious enough to hide their trash cans before dark. The best part about the early morning neighborly gathering was seeing who nightly occupies those fashionable PJ’s that residents of the 200 North block only get to see on the clothes line about once a week. It is not who you would think. All in all Halloween 2012 was a big success. Thank goodness for Costco and the huge sacks of goodies that they sell. Things could have been worse if they didn’t. It is always interesting to see what the kids show up as and it makes one wonder if it is any reflection about what they will grow up to be? My favorites are the untrained little ones that just run up to your door and hand you their bag expecting you to fill it up with what ever you have while their parents are running up the side walk chasing after them saying “trick or treat, trick or treat”. I find the polite ones that only take one piece of candy from the bowl to be interesting, especially when their little brothers and sisters are grabbing hands full of sweets. I always keep a special stash for those types, full size Snickers, Milky Ways, and Kit Kat bars. Thanks to all the kids that came by trick or treating, you made my year. Now bring back my trashcan.

Escalante Senior Citizens Menu

by Marlene Haws ~ 826-4859 • marleneh@color-country.net Well, Halloween has passed so now to replace the spooks and goblins we can look forward to Thanksgiving, turkey, pumpkin pie and all the trimmings! There certainly were a lot of spooks and goblins of all sizes running around town. Halloween started the night before Halloween with the party that Jill Phillips has at her house every year. It is a Pumpkin Patch, Pumpkin carving, bonfire and refreshment funfest for both kids and adults. They each bring their own pumpkin, carve them, then there is a judging contest for the best ones and the winners get a prize. 103 contestants showed up this year and they had a great time! The weather was a lot warmer this year than last so the trick or treating lasted a lot longer. There was a “Trunk or Treat” at the school, a couple of spook alleys around town and the kids were able to go through the corn maze across the street from Griffin’s store. Louise Barnes, Marian Casse’ and the girls at the bank provided direction and refreshments for those who ventured through the maze. That was something a little different for them this year. Eve Marsh went to Parowan to tend the grandchildren while Justin and Kari Marsh went to Arizona for the wedding of Kari’s brother. Tom and Marilyn Jackson were caught in the midst of a fly

in, and out, of President Obama in Las Vegas. They were on their way home from San Antonio when the airport in Las Vegas was put in lock down. So their airplane had to wait, along with 22 other airplanes, for Airforce One to leave before they could take off. Richard and Victory Crawford have another new granddaughter. Her name is Ann Elizabeth and her parents are James and Marci Crawford. She was born on Halloween! Congratulations to all of them! Tionna and Jesse Miller’s baby, Clancy, gave his parents and grandparents a scare with a case of RSV. Happily he is doing okay now. Did any of you go to see the summer sun go into it’s winter home last Saturday at the Parowan Gap? We can also see the sun rise in the gap at the Northeast end of Escalante where the creek wends it’s way through the hills there. That probably happens in the Spring or whenever it is that the sun comes up farther to the North. We can see that and only have to go outside our houses to view it! In fact I don’t even have to leave my kitchen. I watched it a number of times in my younger days, but don’t get up that early any more! You early risers may want to watch for that and let the rest of us know when it is going to happen. It is quite spectacular! The moon does that also.

Katie Meisenbach got her deer during the hunt! She shot it right through the heart! Her dad said she got so excited she went from crying to high fiving everybody all in five minutes! Good job, Katie! I got worried about one of my best friends, Jean (Barney) Ikard during the Hurricane Sandy. Jean lives in Roanoke, Virginia. So I called to check on her and she said her part of town was lucky. They had big winds but no damage, but on the other side of town they had a power outage, probably due to the wind blowing trees over on the power lines. Hopefully none of you had friends or family in the middle of that. Such a devastating thing! Quinn Griffin tells me that plans are being formulated for the program on Memorial Day. They want to do stories about the sheep herds in the olden days of Escalante. They also want to keep these stories at the heritage center later on. If you have stories of your grandparents, parents, or if you herded sheep yourself they would like to hear from you. For more information you can e-mail Quinn at quinng@socen.com or call him at 616-4660. Your input will be appreciated. On Veteran’s Day, Monday, November 12, there will be a flag raising ceremony at 9:00 A. M. at the high school. From 10:00 A. M. to 6:00 P. M. Veterans displays at the

Relatives here have received word of the passing of two former residents: Wanda Bailey Houston, 97, passed away October 27, 2012. Her funeral services were held on November 3, at Larkin Sunset Lawn in Salt Lake City. Wanda was a daughter of Charles William Bailey and Mary Alice Shurtz Bailey. She is an aunt of McKay Bailey and Lillian Lyman. She was a home-ec teacher and taught in the Escalante high School for a year or two in the ‘50’s. Joseph W. Bybee, 71, passed away October 28, 2012, at the Utah Valley Medical Center, in Provo. His parents were Walden and Laura Lay Bybee, his grandmother was Bessie Lay. Joseph was born in Escalante but his family moved to Annabella when he was very young. A graveside service was held for him on November 2, 2012 at the cemetery in Annabella. He is a cousin to the Steeds who live here in Escalante. Mary Shumway was from the same Bybee family. If I remember right Joseph’s father, Walden Bybee, was Mary’s oldest brother and they all lived in Tropic.

Elder Heath Payton

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com I would love to stay on day light savings time year around, standard time leaves me tired all the time. By Dec. 23 and the solstice, we will lose another hour and a half of daylight, it will be dark when you go to work and dark when you get home. The deer hunt is over and still no snow, I have even had my car washed and if it doesn’t snow by Friday, we are in for trouble this winter for moisture. Pat and I attended “Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat” and it was beyond my words to describe how good it was. Elaine Baldwin and Cheryl Church have outdone themselves, with this huge cast. When Elaine said she had 60 cast members I thought she would double cast the whole musical, but there were at least 50 cast members that took part in the show. Cheryl told me she had wanted to do this musical for a long time, but this is the first time that she had two boys that could play the parts of Joseph and the Pharaoh. Josiah Sarles was magnificent as Joseph, (what a great voice and such a big part to learn). Slader Matthew as the Pharaoh stole the show with his Elvis singing of the Pharaoh dream. How did they ever get all of those boys to take singing parts and get them to do so well, is beyond me? Everyone that had a part did a wonderful job with their singing and dancing, even the elementary school students. One of the star athletes, who is a senior, told Cheryl that he had so much fun that he wished that he had become involved with drama sooner. This show was so much fun that Pat and I went again on Saturday and it was as good as it was on Friday, I thought it was even better on the second night. A couple that set near us said that they saw the musical last year by professionals and felt that the singing here was every bit as good as there. There will be two more showings tomorrow, Friday the 9th and Saturday the 10th and I imagine that we will go again; I am fascinated by the performance of these young students. There were some girls in the audience from BV I hope they go back and tell their friends.

A lot going on this weekend: Tomorrow morning the Elementary School will be honoring all of the Veterans at the school at 10 am. I hope you as a Veteran will spend the time to come to this program, as a lot of preparation by the kids goes into this program and it is very patriotic. Friday evening at 5:00 will be the 14th annual Lions Club Sponsored 1-A 2-A All Star Volleyball game. The best senior players from So.Utah will take part. This is a very entertaining game and it gives these fine athletes one last game in their high school careers. They get to play with players from other teams that they have competed against over the years and it is really fun for them. Katelyn Parkin is our senior that will take part in the game. All proceeds will go to the Panguitch Volleyball team and help with the expenses of next year. Tickets are adult $5.00 and students $2.00, come and enjoy the fun. After the Volleyball game, you can go and see “Joseph” at 7:00 and listen to Katelyn sing, as one of the Narrators. It will be a really fun evening, which will carry you through the weekend on a high note. Also on Friday night, the Sheriff Dept. will have their annual dinner out at Ebenezer. They will be honoring all Search and Rescue and EMTs with a dinner and it will begin at 6:30. Saturday the 10th will be the Panguitch Holiday Craft Fair and it will once again be back in the County Fair Building. It will open at 10am, come early for the best deals on your early Christmas shopping. There will be drawings, plenty of concession booth and food. Sub for Santa will have there local made candy booth, with plenty of goodies. The Craft Fair is a big draw, don’t get discouraged because of lack of parking, the walk will be worth it. Veterans Day will be celebrated on Monday the 12th, school will be in, but the Banks and Post Office will be closed. The Panguitch American Legion will be hosting a dinner for all Veterans and their wife’s from our area. It will be at the Senior Center

and will start at 6:30. There will be good food, entertainment and a tribute to the Veterans. Please give me a call if you can make it (676-2418) so I can get a count. There will be a signing of a contract between the National Guard, Panguitch City and Garfield Co. supporting the Guard in their endeavors. Down the line will be the annual Thanksgiving dinner and it will also be at the Senior Center and all are welcome. Come and celebrate all that we have and what a wonderful Country we live in, with friends and neighbors. Good news for you that travel up to SLC on a regular basis. Highway 15 is finally completed through the Provo area. President Obama’s Stimulus money that went into this project, brought many jobs to our State, which is the good news, the bad news is that those jobs will be gone. However that giant building that sits in front of Cabellas, is a computer company called Adobe and it will employ around 1200 people. Many of these jobs will be high tech positions. What a huge endeavor this highway project was, that took about 3 years to complete but it should take care of the bottle neck that runs through that area and slows traffic big time. Also on Hw. 15 between Bear Valley and Paragonah has been resurfaced and makes a much smoother ride, clear to St. George. Utah in my opin-

ion has some the finest roads anywhere, I know those of you that don’t drive much in big cities probably don’t believe me, but just drive down to the Los Angeles area and you will see what I mean. The key to driving on any freeway is car pooling, it is amazing how many single driver cars out there. The monster storm that hit the east coast has been really something. Catastrophes can happen anywhere and it’s not the end of the world. This is just another reminder, as many of these incidents there are, that we need to be prepared. The area that Sandy hit had never been confronted with anything like this before. Several people have died because they used generators inside of their homes, from carbon monoxide poisoning. If you would like to help out with this episode you can send money to the Red Cross. There will be a blood drive on the 14th at the Stake Center and it will run from 2:00 till 8:00 in the evening. You can sign up at Church or call Brian and Jennifer Bremner at (6768211) and make a reservation. Last Monday was the start of the winter sports program practice and the kids will be busy, there should be some very good teams coming this year. There are so many fun things going on this weekend. Enjoy yourself! Mack O.

Practical Money Matters

Young Adult: Avoid These Privacy Red Flags by Jason Alderman

Young adults applying for college or preparing to enter the workforce are sometimes shocked to find out that that certain behaviors that were either tolerated or ignored when they were younger now fall under closer scrutiny and could actually hurt their advancement possibilities. Among the biggest culprits are oversharing sensitive personal information in public forums and getting extreme tattoos or body art that may not yet be fully acceptable in certain work environments. Red flags. It should be common knowledge that many employers perform online profile searches of job or internship candidates. They’ll scour public postings on Facebook, Twitter or YouTube looking for inappropriate content like racy photos or videos, racist remarks or evidence of illegal activities that would rule inappropriate candidates. But many people don’t realize that colleges, insurance companies, law enforcement and government agencies sometimes do the same. Thus, an underage student hoping to boost his cool factor by posting photos that show him engaging in drinking games could be disqualified for college admission or even have his scholarship revoked. Privacy settings. According to projections by Consumer Reports, roughly 13 million

Facebook users have never set, or didn’t know about, the site’s privacy tools, and 28 percent share all, or almost all, of their wall posts with more than just their friends. It pays to thoroughly read the privacy policies of all sites where you’ve registered, including social networks, your bank, retailers, blogs and news sites where you’ve made comments, etc. Email is forever. Deleting an email from your computer doesn’t mean it no longer exists. Chances are your email provider – or employer, if sent from work – will retain a record for years to come. Plus, recipients won’t necessarily delete the email and may in fact forward it to others. Haunting photos. Just like emails, photos posted online can live forever. That includes pictures of you that someone else posted and tagged with your name. My rule of thumb: If you wouldn’t want your grandmother to see it, don’t do it, say it or film it. Also, don’t post photos of your kids that might embarrass them or hurt their professional reputation down the road. Resume lies. It can be tempting to embellish the truth on your resume or during a job interview, but as recent headlines about disgraced executives being fired have shown, these lies can come back to haunt you. Employers can easily determine if the degree or

past job titles you’re claiming are legitimate. Another no-brainer: If your resume is posted online on Monster.com or LinkedIn, make sure there aren’t major inconsistencies with the one you submit to prospective employers. Tattoos. One-fifth of adults have at least one tattoo – the percentages are higher among younger adults. A few years ago, job candidates wouldn’t get past the first interview sporting tattoos; today, depending on the industry and type of customer contact involved, many employers will look the other way. However, some employers do enforce strict no-tattoo policies which, if based on sound business reasons, are legal. Fortunately, my own kids aren’t old enough for body art to be a consideration, but when they are, I’ll give them the same advice I’d give any young adult: Think about the long-term consequences of your actions.

Use More Hooks, Bow Fish at Night: Wildlife Board Approves Fishing Changes for 2013 SALT LAKE CITY — Starting Jan. 1, you can have up to three hooks on your fishing line. And if you’d like to bow fish for common carp at night, you can. Plenty of big splake live in Joes Valley Reservoir. Starting in 2013, you can fish at Joes Valley year-round. Those changes are among several fishing changes members of the Utah Wildlife Board approved for 2013. The recommendations Division of Wildlife Resources biologists presented to the board on Nov. 1 were influenced heavily by ideas biologists received from more than 1,300 anglers who took an online survey at the DWR’s website last spring. All of the changes the board approved will be available in the 2013 Utah Fishing Guidebook. The guidebook should be available at wildlife. utah.gov/guidebooks sometime in early December. The following are among the fishing changes in Utah that board members approved for 2013: This year, Joes Valley Reservoir in east-central Utah is closed to fishing from now until 6 a.m. on Dec. 8. However, in 2013, the fall closure will be lifted, and you’ll be allowed to fish at the reservoir year-round. Starting Jan. 1, you can have up to three hooks on your fishing line. Currently, Lake Powell and Flaming Gorge are the only waters in Utah at which you can use up to three hooks. Drew Cushing, warm water sport fisheries coordinator for the DWR, thinks walleye, bass and fly anglers are among those who will be excited about the change. “Some of the more experienced fly anglers are using a rig that consists of a large fly with nymph ‘trailers’ attached to it,” Cushing says. “Allowing them to fish two trailers, instead of one, will give them a better chance to catch fish.” Cushing says bass anglers are starting to use umbrella rigs. An umbrella rig consists of two or more lures that are attached together. As the rig is pulled through the water, it imitates a small school of fish swimming together. “Just like fly anglers,” Cushing says, “allowing bass and walleye anglers to use three hooks will give them a

better chance to catch fish.” Umbrella rigs often include more than three lures. Please remember that only three of the lures in your rig can have hooks on them. “Even with hooks on only three of the lures,” Cushing says, “your rig will still be very effective.” Umbrella rigs and worm harnesses are currently sold in Utah, but they’re not legal to use in the state if they have more than two hooks. “Starting Jan. 1,” Cushing says, “it will be legal to use umbrella rigs and worm harnesses that have up to three hooks.” Starting Jan. 1, you can use a bow and arrow to fish for common carp in shallow water at night. Currently, bow fishing for

common carp in Utah is allowed only during the day. Cushing says anything that can legally be done to remove carp is a good thing. “Carp populations grow quick,” he says, “and they’ll eat anything, so they compete for food with all of the other fish in the water.” Also, carp grow fast — they don’t stay small long enough to provide adequate forage for other fish. “And that isn’t all,” Cushing says. “Carp stir up the mud on the bottom of the waters they’re in. They also feed on and damage aquatic plants. The mud they stir up prevents sunlight from reaching the plants. The damaged plants can’t repair themselves, and new plants can’t grow.”

Cushing says 1,367 anglers responded to a survey that was available on the DWR’s website from mid May to mid June. Because of how the survey was conducted (for example, it was offered online to anyone who wanted to take it), Cushing says the survey isn’t statistically valid, and it doesn’t represent every angler in Utah. But he’s still excited about the number of anglers who responded to the survey and the ideas they shared. “We’re excited to get this kind of response from anglers,” he says. “We’re happy that they have an effective way to share their ideas with us.” —DWR
