2015 Christmas Tree Permits

SALT LAKE CITY Cutting a Christmas tree in a national forest is a family tradition for many residents of Utah. Weather conditions in the mountains are unpredictable, so always be prepared for winter weather. Stay on designated roads and trails.

Be prepared for slick, snowpacked roads and have chains, a 4-wheel drive vehicle, or a snow machine available. Let someone know where you are planning to go and approximate time you will return.

Carry a cell phone; bring additional warm clothing, and gloves, boots, and a container of hot liquid, water, and a lunch or snack. Carry a flashlight, chains, shovel, first-aid kit, matches, a hatchet, ax or handsaw, and rope to secure your tree.

Trees must always be cut close to the ground leaving the stump no higher than 6 inches.

A shovel will come in handy to dig through the snow to reach the base of the tree. Make sure your permit is attached to the tree before leaving the cutting area. TREE TOPPING IS NOT ALLOWED. No cutting is allowed within 200 feet of riparian areas (lakes and streams), roads, campgrounds, picnic areas, administrative sites, summer home areas, or within designated closed areas shown on tree cutting area maps.

Sevier Valley Hospital to Launch Oncology Services for Central Utah RICHFIELD - Cancer patients throughout Central Utah will soon be able to receive their chemotherapy treatments close to home as part of Sevier Valley Hospital’s new oncology services.

Beginning Nov. 9, Sevier Valley Hospital (SVH) will offer oncology services that include onsite chemotherapy treatments, and consultations with Intermountain Southwest Cancer Center’s team of oncologists.

Until now, cancer patients in Sevier, Wayne, Piute, and surrounding counties have had to drive long distances to Salt Lake City, Provo, or Cedar City in order to meet with their oncologists and receive their chemotherapy treatments.

“With the only oncologist-supported chemo program in Central Utah, we will be able to help our patients stay close to home where they are comfortable as they receive their treatments,” said SVH Administrator, Gary Beck. “We are thrilled to have this program in place – it’s the right thing for our communities.”

Completed in 2014, SVH’s out-patient infusion clinic will provide the location for the on-site chemo treatments. And through advanced technology, patients will be able to meet with their oncologists in Southern Utah via the hospital’s telehealth services where their doctor will advise Sevier Hospital Cont'd on page 2

Game Wardens Seek Help in Elk Slaying

NEVADA - Game wardens are seeking information about a bull elk that was poached and left to rot near the Pearson Ranch in Lincoln County in late August. Operation Game Thief (OGT) is offering a $2,000 reward to help catch the shooter.

The Nevada Department of Wildlife has asked the Utah DWR to help distribute the attached news release to reporters in Utah, including reporters in the Cedar City and St. George areas.

There's reason to believe that this poaching case might have a Utah connection.

The landowner where the crime was committed had a trail camera near the crime scene by happenstance, capturing a fleeting glimpse of two perpetrators riding an ATV during the commission of the crime. Because of the trail camera, game wardens know the exact time of the shooting, which took place with a spotlight in the early morning hours of August 29th. With such clear evidence and time of the crime, game wardens hope that someone can help identify who committed the crime.

“We know there’s a witness out there who can tell us who did this,” said Chief Game Warden Tyler Turnipseed with NDOW. “We have some strong evidence and leads, but we need a little more help to piece it all together so we can catch these guys.”

Courtesy NDW In adition to Trail Cam image of suspects. shooting the animal at night, those involved left most of the meat to waste, compounding this senseless crime. Between shooting of the animal and leaving the meat to waste there is at least one felony crime and several misdemeanors.

You can hear the officers talk about the case in detail on a podcast on www.nevadawild.org that will be released on Friday.

Follow Chief Game Warden Tyler Turnipseed on Twitter for updates on the case @Chief_GW_NV. As is often the case, OGT has stepped up to offer a reward in hopes of generating tips to solve the case. Big game poaching in Nevada is a felony. To report wildlife crime, sportsmen and members of the public can call the OGT hotline at (800) 9923030.

“In addition to the ability to provide chemotherapy and the technology necessary to consult with an oncologist remotely, our hospital has the services available to provide everything from PICC-lines and ports, to blood and lab tests that accompany chemotherapy monitoring,” said

registered nurse Drake Mason, who will oversee the new program. “Cancer patients receiving chemo truly don’t have to step out of Richfield with this process.”

Utah Division of Arts & Museums Seeks Artwork for Developmental Center in Alpine SALT LAKE CITY - The Public Art Program of the Utah Division of Arts and Museums, in association with the Division of Facilities and Construction Management and the Utah Department of Human Services Developmental Center, has published a call for letters of interest and qualifications from artists interested in creating public art for the new Developmental Center in Alpine, Utah.

“The Art Selection Committee is hopeful the artist selected for this commission will create an installation that will reflect and honor the Center’s clients and their goal for each client to achieve levels of independence, with behavioral and medical stability and the ability to return back to a community residential setting,” said Utah Public Art Manager Jim Glenn.

The full description and

how to apply is at publicart. utah.gov. The deadline for receipt of material from interested artists is 5 p.m. MST, Nov. 30, 2015. Artists may submit qualifications online at callforentry.org.

The Public Art Program was created by the Utah State Legislature in 1985 with the passage of the Percent-for-ArtAct. This statute allows for 1% of construction costs for new or remodeled State facilities to be added to the project for the commissioning or acquisition of art that is site specific to the facility and community.

To date, over 220 works have been placed in State facilities statewide. For more information visit publicart.utah.gov or contact Jim Glenn at jglenn@ utah.gov or 801-245-7271 or Felicia Baca at fbaca@utah. gov or 801-245-7272.

Local Election Results

Wayne County Clerk Ryan Torgerson said that voters of Wayne County voted against the authorization of the school district voted local levy tax by a vote of 500 to 400, with the votes (pre-canvas) landing literally on the rounded “00” figures.

Wayne School District Superintendent Burke Torgerson said in response to the local levy election result that, “Number one, we want to thank the people in the community for voting, and even though we are disappointed we will do the best we can to provide the best education possible for our students.”

Torgerson added that he felt that the result is possibly, in part, due to timing of the proposal, which follows other recent county-level increases in valuation and sanitation taxes. He said that the school district does have the option to take the proposal to voters again, and it will be up to the district board to determine whether they would like to do that and they will be discussing that in upcoming meetings.

Badger Notebook

by Kailee Blackburn In the past few weeks at Wayne High School, we have had many fun and extremely great opportunities for our student body and faculty. The volleyball team traveled to UVU to play in state. They came out in sixth place, as one of the only two teams to place in state from Region 20. Congratulations to them for working hard this season and placing in state! It was our Red Ribbon Week last week and we had many activities throughout the week. We had the privilege of having Nancy Rees and Luke Peterson come and talk to the student body on saying "NO TO DRUGS." They did an awesome job and we loved listening to them talk. We did a "Don't Drive Stupid" activity where some of the student government came early to school and waited for the faculty and students to come to school. As they drove into the parking lot they were checked to see if they had their seat belts on and “ticketed” if they didn’t.

Seven FFA students traveled to Nashville for a week to attend nationals. This was quite an honor.

We appreciate all who helped out with these activities and are looking forward for more things to come.

PHS Sports Sidelines

by Mack Oetting

PHS Finishes Fall Sports in Grand Style; Wrestling Up Next The Fall season is over and the Bob Cats dominated the state with two Championships out of the four sports.

The Bob Cats Baseball team started it all off with a 3rd place finish, losing to Wayne in the semi finals. Wayne was a team that the Cats had beaten twice in the regular season. Wayne went on to win the Championship.

Next up was the State Cross Country meet and another Championship. Whittni Orton ran away with the girls race, winning by over two minutes and setting a new coarse record. Whitt was the third girls in state history to win the State Cross Country 4 years in a row. With two of the top girl runners injured the Cats pulled off some what of a miracle, with the younger girls really stepping up and coming oh-soclose, coming in second by 2 points. All of the boys ran their best times of their careers and were run away winners and taking the State Cross Country Championship.

At the State Volleyball Championship the Lady Cats, ran rough shod over their competition, winning 12 games and only losing 1. The Cats were a class by themselves and it wasn’t even close. The always tough Rich couldn’t get their serves in, missing their first 5 tries and they went down hill from there, they did win one game though. Monticello the number one team all year wasn’t much competition for the Cats, losing 25-18, 25-16 and 25—14. This was the Lady Cats second straight State Volleyball Championship and the whole team played so very well.

For the last 16 years there has been an ALL Star Volleyball game at the end of the season, this has always been a fun game for the girls. It is a game between the 1A and 2A best players in So. Utah, however connections were never made between the 1A and 2A coaches so the All Star game for the year is off. This game was started because there was an All Star game up in SLC and the play-

ers from So. Utah never got invited. However this year 4 seniors from the PHS volleyball team are invited to take part in this game, Taylor Bennett, Chesney Campbell, Whittni Orton and Marlee Torgensen .

Practice started today for wrestling, and the town’s favorite, Boys and Girls basketball. All of these teams should do really well., the boys basketball team only lost one player from last years team and some of the young players are going to be really good, the girls are coming off two straight Championship and should be a big favorite to repeat. You never know about the wrestlers many are returning from last years team and they are bigger and stronger and have gained a lot of experience from last year.

Many thanks to Makayla Dalton for filling in while we were gone on vacation.

See you next month, get your season tickets and take in all of these fun events.

SALT LAKE CITY Utah Arts & Museums — in conjunction with the generous support of Senate President Wayne Niederhauser, the Utah State Senate, and the Utah Educational Savings Plan — calls Utah students to submit visual art work for a scholarship competition. The due date is November 16, 2015.

All Utah students in grades 9-12 are eligible to participate. The competition is sponsored by President Niederhauser and the Utah Senate in an effort to challenge Utah students to express their creativity. The Utah Senate will reward outstanding students with scholarships to support their college and career goals.

The Utah State Capitol building is the subject from which students will draw inspiration.

The competition is administered by Utah Arts & Museums and welcomes two-dimensional, original visual art images of the exte-

rior of the Utah State Capitol building and/or architectural features of the exterior and interior of the building. The Utah State Capitol will be 100 years old in 2016. Scholarship funds will be deposited into a new or existing Utah Educational Savings Plan account in the name of the student. The scholarship award categories are: 1st place — $5,000; 2nd place — $3,000; 3rd place — $1,000; 4-10th places — $500; and 11-25th places — $300.

“In many ways, Utah is a light to the nation,” said President Niederhauser. “In 2016, our Capitol building, which is 100 years old, reflects that light. It stands as a remarkable monument to the dreams of our founders, as well as the success of our working democratic republic. I want to highlight this great symbol and feature Utah's bright and talented students by encouraging them to portray the Capitol through art."

“We’re delighted to be part of this endeavor to nurture the creativity of Utah students,” said Utah Arts & Museums Assistant Director Kirsten Darrington. “The Utah State Capitol is a beautiful building and a fitting subject for this competition.”

Winners will be announced in January and scholarships awarded during the 2016 legislative session. The top 25 entries will be on exhibition in the Utah State Capitol Building. The first- place entry will become the property of the Senate and be exhibited in the Senate suite. All other work will be returned to students at the end of the 2016 legislative session.

The guidelines can be found here. For more information, please contact Jean Tokuda Irwin at 801.245.7288 or jirwin@utah.gov.

Visual Arts Scholarship Competition for Grades 9-12 Entry Due Date Fast Approaching

November 12, 2015

On Halloween October 31st our Lady Cats fought for the the State title and came out on top. Despite a senior class that has earned state championships in four sports multiple times in the last three years, this year’s Panguitch volleyball team was unsure just how good they would be. For me being on the volleyball team I had an inside to this.

Going into the state tournament we were not picked to win. At the beginning of the season we as a team really struggled. The girls had a hard time adjusting to a new coach, especially the seniors. As quoted in Deseret News Coach Troy Norris said, “We started out really slow, we lost a lot of games.

But we played some really good teams...And eventually, the girls believed in themselves.” In the beginning of the season the girls played teams such as Dixie and

Lady Cats Take the State Title so when the moment comes everything mentioned works and flows perfectly. This is just a small insight to what the coaches and girls had to figure out this season.

Starting on October 30th the Panguitch girls played two teams, Manilla and Monument Valley. The cats won easily in three sets against these teams, every girl on the bench was able to play in these games. They were fun, a chance to be ourselves and not have to worry.

The next day the lady cats first game was against the Rich Reb-

Lady Bobcats with their State Champion Trophy.

Left to Right Top Row: Coach Annmarie Norris, Whitnni Orton, Jordan Bennett, Taylor Bennett, Cheney Campbell, Abbey Blevins, Makayla Dalton, Shantae Miller, Jaylee Torgersen, Coach Troy Norris. Bottom Row: Brittney Henrie, Kapri Orton, Brianne Bremner, Alyssa Fischer, Marlee Torgersen 2A’s second place winners Enterprise. The amount of games they lost this year was more than they had lost in the last two years combined. This discouraged the girls, but it made them work harder at every practice.

They had one goal in mind, and these girls would stop at nothing to get it.

Coaches Troy and Annmarie Norris spent many sleepless nights strategizing, making plays, trying to figure out rotations, switching girls in and out, and trying to find a “click” between the girls that worked for everyone. They pushed the girls at practice continually, making changes as needed and eliminating the girls mistakes. In volleyball it’s never one person's fault that a point is lost. Every player is connected, and everyone has to do their job, even if they don’t touch the ball. Everyone has to be in the exact position, the ball has to be passed to the right spot, the hitters have to be back in the right place to hit, the setters have to set the ball in the perfect position and the hitters have to approach and hit the ball in the precise place for that winning kill. Volleyball is more than skill, it’s instinct; it's training your brain and body over and over to do the right thing

els; this game determined who would play for the state title.

The lady cats had been preparing to play Rich for the last three weeks; they were very nervous about this game. Rich put up a great fight, actually beating the lady cats in one set. The girls had to work very hard in this game. Rich never gave up and they pushed the Bobcats very hard. But in the end the lady cats ended up beating the Rebels, advancing them to play for the State title. The cats never played like they did in that game. Every single girl stepped up and played unbelievably well. The years upon years of practice led up to this game and the girls shined. The six seniors focused the team and clenched down for this win. We played to win!

The next and final game was the State Championship against the Monticello Buckaroos. The girls were so unbelievably excited, and they were ready to defend their last years State Championship. It was hard to go against a team they had never played. they spent their extra time watching the Buckaroo’s play other team’s.

We had many discussions and talked about our defense and the other team’s strengths. We were ready walking onto that floor.

The lady cats played an incredible game. Shantae Miller with 14 assists, Chesney Campbell led the team’s offensive effort with 16 kills, while Whittni Orton added seven kills and Taylor Bennett following with 6 kills.

Monticello’s coach Tony Esplin said, “They just got us on our heels; we just couldn't recover.

They kept coming right at us and building more and more momentum.” In the end the Lady Bobcats came out on top with an amazing game the end scores were 25-18, 25-14 and 25-17 to claim their second straight 1A volleyball championship. The years of hard work and the endless hours of practice paid off.

The girls said their friendship off the court helps them succeed on the court, regardless of the sport.

Coach Troy Norris said, “These seniors deserve a state championship. They’re as good a group of athletes as we’ve ever had at Panguitch High School.” They won cross country three years in a row; they won basketball back to back; they won track three years in a row. And now they can add back to back Volleyball to the list. “What a phenomenal group of girls.” The girls joke and say that they are sisters, they are always together.

The girls also said that they all felt like they contributed more to this State Championship than last year. It took every girl on that court to come together. We could not have asked for a better result. Congratulations to these Lady Bobcats and all of their hard work!

OBITUARIES Elda Ellett 1920 - 2015

FREMONT - Our kind and loving mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother, great-great-grandmother, sister and aunt, Elda Ann Blackburn Ellett, age 95, left her care worn body and was reunited with her eternal companion, November 6, 2015 at her home in Fremont, Utah. She was born February 14, 1920 in Loa, Utah, the 13th out of 14 children, born to Heber Charles and Louisa Taylor Blackburn. The day before Elda's second birthday, her little brother Lewis was born, but tragically about two weeks later, their mother died from complications of childbirth leaving behind her nine living children after having buried five. Elda went to live with her mother's sister Tilda who had lost her baby about the same time Elda's mother died. She lived with Aunt Tilda until her dad remarried Sara Jane Shiner a few years later. Growing up Elda was very competitive in foot racing beating all the boys her age. She was also a great speller and won many spelling bees.

On her 18th birthday, which was also Valentine's Day, she married Carl Maxfield Ellett in the Manti LDS Temple for Time and all Eternity. He passed away May 17, 2004. They enjoyed 66 years together. They lived in Fremont where they raised their family.

Elda loved working in her yards making them absolutely beautiful. She had a green thumb and her flowers were always a showcase. She loved spending time gardening and always grew an abundant one. Elda was also an exceptional cook and was noted for her homemade noodles, rolls, bread and pies. Her burnt sugar cake was fought over at many family reunions. Elda was a great seamstress and could totally remake a dress from an old one. She was always sewing something including quilt blocks. The stitches in the quilts that she made were perfect. She also did a lot of hand embroidering and crocheting. She made many quilts and baby quilts for her children and grandchildren that will be a treasure forever.

Elda had beautiful penmanship and she faithfully kept a journal every day. She served in many capacities in the LDS Church, including Relief Society President. Her greatest joy was serving as ordinance worker in the Manti Temple with Carl for 7 years. She had a testimony and love for our Savior. She was a member of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers and was very grateful of her heritage.

Elda deeply loved her family and always said she had the greatest family in the world. She was always very supportive of them in everything they did. A week before she passed away she made the statement that the pain she endured was worth it because of all the cute great-grandchildren that came trick or treating.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to Sara Rees and Teri Leavitt for their loving and compassionate services to our mother.

Elda is survived by her children: Lamont and Karen Ellett of Loa; Evelyn Albrecht of Pleasant Grove; Ruth Ellett of Boise, ID; Francine and Gary Hallows of Torrey; Carla and Adrian Ruger of Fremont; 38 grandchildren; 81 great-grandchildren; and 24 greatgreat-grandchildren. She also leaves behind her youngest brother Lewis (Donna, deceased) Blackburn of Fremont.

She was preceded in death by her sweetheart Carl Maxfield Ellett; a granddaughter; 2 great grandsons; 12 siblings and in-laws: Leonard and Loren Blackburn (twins), Fidella Blackburn, Alma and Dorthella Blackburn, Luella Blackburn, Oden Blackburn, Hilda Blackburn, Elbert and Nina Blackburn, Wayne and Ione Blackburn, Deward and Ellen Blackburn, Nancy and Worth Sorenson, Madge and Dale Albrecht, Kenneth Taylor and Willis Spafford.

Funeral services will be held Friday, November 13, 2015 at 1:00 pm in the Fremont LDS Ward Chapel. Friends may call for viewing at the Springer Turner Funeral Home in Richfield, Thursday evening from 6 to 8 P.M. or at the Ward Chapel, Friday morning from 11:00 to 12:30 prior to the services.

Last week was a really busy time and a lot of stuff went on.

Out at Ebenezer’s the Hospital Foundation dinner was really well attended and a lot of money was raised, to improve our wonderful hospital facility. The hospital is celebrating its 40th birthday and boy has it come a long way and it is a first rate facility. With the great doctors and nurses, that can handle most situations and with the new helicopter service for those problems that need a specialist, can be here in a matter of minutes, all of your ails can be taking care of quickly and the treatment will be first rate. This is a real asset to the retired folks in our area, to know that they will be taking care of by the best Medical staff in Southern Utah.

PHS Drama club put on the Wizard of Oz, which ran for 4 showings. Cheryl Church and Elaine Baldwin as always got the cast going with their usual zest. With mostly a new cast from last year, they really performed well, With a lot of dialogue, the kids didn’t miss any lines, it was a fun musical.

Saturday night was the Search and Rescue dinner and it was a real good dinner out at Ebenezer’s that was hosted by Sheriff Perkins. The next night there was a need for these Volunteers and many showed up to help out.

Yesterday was Veterans Day and the annual American Legion dinner was also a fun night. We had a lot of local talent that entertained the Veterans and it was a fun evening, many thanks to all that helped out to honor the Veterans from our area. Earlier in the day the Panguitch Elementary honored the many Veterans in our area, with a very fine presentation.

Last week we had a small birthday lunch for me, in Cedar City; while we were ordering in walked my Granddaughter Teah, what a wonderful present. She is doing a rotation in Alaska right now and we had such a good visit. Her cousin in the SLC area had passed away and she was going there for the funeral. It was a nice surprise; it doesn’t hurt to get a little older when you get gifts like that.

Well so much for the past week, things will be hopping through the rest of the year, if

James M. Stewart

PANGUITCH/ESCALANTE - James Moroni "Jim" Stewart, 38, passed from this earthly life into the waiting and loving arms of his father, Kyle, and brother, Jeffrey, on November 8, 2015 in Escalante. Even though it was not expected, we know the reunion was sweet beyond description.

Jim was born in Panguitch, August 21, 1977 to Kyle Ray and Cindy Taylor Stewart, the oldest of six Stewart children. He led the charge into the chaos and family shenanigans.

After graduation from Panguitch High School, Jim served a full time mission to Wellington, New Zealand.

He loved New Zealand, saying it was so green it hurt your eyes. And the Brown Trout were huge, and Jim liked to fish... It was a passion for him, but being a good missionary, he only got to go fishing there once.

He graduated from SUU with a degree in Elementary Education and added a Special Ed endorsement while he was teaching in Ely, NV. Jim is the father of two, Winston and Sage, both named after quality fishing poles. And Jim liked to Fish...

September 21, 2015, Jim married the love of his life, Wendy Kay Woolsey. He loved her "with all of his heart". And then Wendy and Jimmy loved to Fish...

He is loved and will be missed by all who knew him. The banks of the Sevier River will forever be changed with his passing, as we all are. Fond memories and big fish stories will have to suffice until we see him again.

In addition to his wife, Wendy, and children, he is survived by his mother, Cindy Stewart; siblings: Nickolas (Sheena) Stewart, Luke (Elkee) Stewart, Ford (Chelsea) Stewart, Stacee (Justin) Partridge; grandparents, Jim and Sybil Taylor; parents-in-law, Craig and Marilyn Twitchell, all of Panguitch; and many nieces and nephews and aunts and uncles.

He is preceded in death by his father, Kyle and brother Jeffrey.

Funeral services will be held on Friday, November 13, 2015 at 12:00 Noon in the Panguitch 3rd LDS Ward Chapel, 550 South 100 West, where friends may call on Friday morning from 10:00 to 11:30. Burial will be in the Panguitch Cemetery.

And Jim Loved to Fish...

OBITUARIES

Doug Grundy

by Adus F. Dorsey II In the sense of the word I will be the first to say that I am not a real religious person, per se’. To me I find religion to be kind of like visgueen, that thick plastic sheathing that you hang up on a construction site with staples, sometimes if I try real hard I think I can

stories of stand out people that have passed before us. For some of us our bookshelves and cabinets are stuffed with folded obituaries from funerals of loved ones, friends, neighbors or acquaintances that we will always be missed.

Mini biographies of lives once

see through to the other side but in most cases what I see is mostly blurry. What I will honestly say about religion is that I do like living in a place where there are a lot of people that tend to know what it is all about and there is much comfort in knowing that when a church full of people get together or just one lone person bows their head to pray, those prayers will be heard. In a nutshell, this past week was like that for me.

Our local history books and personal memoirs of those that have lived their lives in Wayne County are filled with

lived reduced to a few sentences. I often wonder why we keep them, except maybe as one more reminder of the way things were, not that I think for a minute or believe we would ever let ourselves forget.

I was on a six man crew once in the mid nineteen nineties, in lower Wayne County, when Doug Grundy first started mixing mud. Doug and his young crew showed up on a fairly big job with four, nine yard, spinning cement trucks ready to pour but if the truth were to known the pour only required two.

job thought he was mud ready, but on that semi-snowy Wayne County November morning… everyone else with an intermediate level of construction knowledge and looking at his cement forms could tell he wasn’t. In a fit of funny, Doug Grundy belted out, “If I knew this was going to be a circus, I would have brought the whole family!” We didn’t have the time to laugh and the boss on the job didn’t think Doug was all that funny, but now that I think back on it, it really was.

To Doug’s credit he took the time and made the effort to drive back up Fruita hill with the left over cement and dump it on a spot where it always seemed I needed some. We both were happy as can be to get it off the truck before it set up. With that smile of simple satisfaction on his face of a job well done is how I will forever remember Doug.

Maybe it is just the passing of another good ole friend that reminds me of the times, when on a whim, that when a person really needed that special kind of friend, one would just seem to show up. From a relative new comer's point of view, there was once a day that if you have lived around here very long you knew Wayne County was always famous for that sort of thing. And as if it was meant to be, Doug Grundy seemed to always arrive in his pick up in an instant, when a tense situation needed a different point of view or a good laugh.

I stopped in Royal’s today to pick up a few things I needed for an out of town trip and almost everyone in there was dressed in their Sunday best, Kori Brown was wiping a tear from her eye and talking to Larry Deem. When I saw her I started to choke up when I realized that everyone was in town for Doug’s funeral. Like a fever, I immediately felt a wave of sadness move over me from head to toe. I quietly slipped down the soda isle so no one would see my eyes when they began to water, my heart was aching and I stayed there for a while until I could catch my breath. It was in the parking lot of Royal’s where I ran into Doug last, it wasn’t that long ago, he was with Garaldean, with smiles they both said hello. I remember thinking to myself it had been a while since I had seen them or called their home number by

mistake.

Gruff as crusty old Doug Grundy could sometimes be, he was always a trusted and bib overalled friend, how lucky are we to always have had Garaldean as our Doug Grundy buffer…

Like everyone else in Wayne County and family and friends everywhere, I too had flashes of Doug memories all day long. Doug Grundy knew people and people knew Doug Grundy, and Doug knew how to work with people to get things done, he was just that way.

I know there will never come a day that when I see a spinning Grundy concrete cement truck driving down the highways or back roads of Wayne County that I won’t think of Doug. Today was not a good day to pour cement and I am pretty sure no one did.

And one of these days when I find myself standing aimlessly around some wet cement and no one is looking, I might just write his initials in it.

I know I haven’t come right and said it out loud but life does goes on, at least until some of us have a chance encounter with Donald Woolsey. Then, like me, you might question your mere existence, or in the least have to turn right around on the Teasdale back road and go straight home to change your brand new Costco underwear.

Don’t get me wrong, and let it be widely known that I am one of Brown Brothers Construction crew’s biggest fans. I love seeing those local Wayne County boys at work everywhere I go. What guy, like me, doesn’t nightly have the dream of tilting his favorite KC Royal’s 2015 World Series ball cap back on his balding head and imagining himself sitting at the controls of a piece of equipment the size of a house.

Just a minuscule suggestion for the BBC pit boss, “Hopefully as soon as tomorrow when the BBC supervisor of the day makes his executive decision of which BBC truck to assign to Donald Woolsey.

I ask that it have a comfy seat in it, and please, oh please let it be the pretty pink one outfitted with a pleasant sounding little tinkle bell as its warning device… Instead of the Red Devil one, with the “$#!t your pants” AIR HORN!

Rollo C. Brinkerhoff 1948 - 2015

NEOLA, UTAH - Rollo Charles Brinkerhoff (Hay burner) age 67 of Neola, passed away at his home in Neola, on November 7, 2015 of a massive heart attack. He was born October 24, 1948 in Salina, Utah, a son of Bliss Burr and Nina Bell Peterson Brinkerhoff. He graduated from Wayne High School, Class of 1966. He was called to serve an LDS Mission to Georgia in 1967. After his mission, he married Carol Turner on September 18, 1970 in the Manti LDS Temple.

Rollo and Carol lived in Bicknell for a while and later moved to Roosevelt, where they raised their five children and Rollo started his truck driving career.

He drove truck for 40 plus years, driving over 5 million miles and earning several safety awards along the way. Rollo was an outstanding employee, working many long hours, several days straight, without any complaints.

He was also an outstanding husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend.

There are very few people who would give you the last dollar they had or the shirt off their back, but Rollo was one of those people. He lived through his family. One of his greatest joys was his grandchildren, whom he loved unconditionally. Rollo and Carol loved to take their grandkids on fishing trips any chance they had.

Rollo also loved to go hunting, riding horses, going down below on the desert, but most importantly, taking trips down to Wayne County to see his love, Carol.

Rollo is survived by his wife, Carol; his father, Bliss Brinkerhoff; his children: Denise and Jason Yazzie; Mark Brinkerhoff; Lesa Bolton and Dennis Duncan; Joyce and Patrick Newberry; Judy and Brandon Jarman; grandchildren: Kelsie Jack, Kayla Jack; Jaden Yazzie; Gage Bolton; Kabree Duncan; Kennedy Duncan; Jaxon Duncan; Morgan Newberry; Rylee Newberry; Braxton Newberry; Jake Daniels; Cholton Jarman; Teran Jarman; Treycen Jarman; a great-grandson: Porter Daniels; siblings: David and Coral Brinkerhoff; Neal and Brenda Brinkerhoff; Chad and Pam Brinkerhoff; Dwight and Laura Brinkerhoff; Linda and Rodger Black; and Carol's siblings: Kenneth and Carolyn Turner; Monte and Jeanine Turner; Lila Bowden; Wesley and Victoria Turner; and Michael Turner.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Nina Brinkerhoff; his parents-in-law: Garn D. and Geneve Duncan Turner; a brotherin-law: Greg Bowden; and a granddaughter, Karlee Jack.

Funeral services will be held Saturday, November 14, 2015 at 12 Noon in the Neola 2nd LDS Ward Chapel, 9000 North 2000 West, where friends may call for viewing Friday evening from 6 to 8 P.M. or Saturday morning from 10:30 to 11:30 prior to the services.

Phil McGee

RICHFIELD - Beloved father, husband, son, brother, uncle, nephew and friend, Phillip Ray McGee, passed away on October 31, 2015 due to injuries sustained from a truck accident on Cove Mountain. Phil was 48 years old. He was born in American Fork to Phillip and Delores McGee on September 14, 1967.

Many of his close relatives and friends called Phil by his middle name, Ray. He was an Eagle Scout, after graduating from American Fork High School class of 1985, he served in the U.S. Army. But his most proudest accomplishment was the birth of his children. He created and worked his own business, McGee's Finishing Carpentry for 20 years. He was very community oriented in volunteering with the American Red Cross, the Richfield Food Bank, and coaching his two youngest sons in a little league baseball team.

Phil loved the mountains, hunting, fishing, four-wheeling, skiing and riding snowmobile. He loved his family and was a true friend to everyone he met. He enjoyed playing games, telling campfire stories, having fish fries and barbecues. He taught his children, nieces and nephews how to grow a garden, hunt, bottle and preserve their own food, to survive in the wilderness, to work hard, to get a good education, and to push forward and always do their best.

Phil was a Christian man and was very devoted to his church.

He did all the carpentry work at the New Hope Baptist Church. He was a faithful man and taught the importance of faith and family values.

Phil left behind his wife, Wendy McGee of Richfield, and his six children: Jessica (AJ) Harris, McKaden McGee; Dustin, Chelsea, Braidon and Traiton Beaumount; mother, Delores McGee; sisters: Lyn McGee and Brenda Brinkerhoff; along with his nieces and nephews: Natasha, Cory McGee (Courtney Nowers); Andrew, McKenzie and Zoey Brinkerhoff.

He is preceded in death by his father, Phillip; and two brothers: Dustin and Justin McGee. Cremation services have taken place. A memorial service will be held Saturday, November 14, 2015 at 3:00 p.m. in the New Hope Baptist Church, 392N Highway 118 (across the highway east from the Sevier County Justice Complex in Richfield). Ceremony will begin by honoring his military service by the V.F.W Sevier Post #5050, and the Utah Honor Guard. Following the ceremony there will be a potluck supper.

The Play Set

Estate Planning and Halloween

The Halloween Season came and I had a thought.

What could Halloween and the process of doing a will and trust and other essential documents have in common? Answer - Both can be very scary!

I’ll confess, I hate the idea of going to a haunted house or spooky corn maze. While a teenager growing up in Las Vegas, I’d act brave with my friends and later have to sleep with the lights on.

However, having been an estate planning attorney for 20 years, I’m comfortable planning for one’s demise. I’ve helped thousands of clients take this step. I’ve figuratively held their hand as they contemplated their mortality.

I promise that I do understand how scary the process can be for some. I know many clients have avoided doing planning because of fear.

However, like exiting a spook alley, when it’s over and the estate planning documents are signed, most say, “If I knew it was this easy, I would have done it earlier.”

Why do people fear estate planning? I will share three reasons.

First, as stated above, many don’t want to think about their death. They will procrastinate and ignore some-

by Jeffery J. McKenna thing that is essential. Estate planning, by definition, is the easiest thing there is to procrastinate. This is true because as long as you do it before you take your last breath, you did it in time. Most of us, just don’t know when we will be taking that last breath.

Second, many are scared that their family situation is such a mess that they don’t have the answers to fix it.

I’ve had dozens of clients say something like, “I bet you’ve never seen a situation this messed up.” I can usually smile and say, “Oh, I’ve seen worse.” Addressing what you may consider a “mess” with good estate planning, is always better than ignoring it until you die.

The last reason many are scared of estate planning relates to the many decisions that have to be made. If you have minor children it can be very scary to decide who will raise the children if something happens to you. Decisions relating to terminal medical treatment can also be hard for many to make.

In conclusion, I’ve come to like Halloween. Once my wife and I had children and I realized they were the reason for the Pumpkin Season, I came to appreciate the holi-

A friend's daughter received an adorable airport play set as a gift.

Since some assembly - actually, a lot of assembly - was required, her husband spent much of the day putting together the plane, the control tower, the runway, the little baggage chute, and arranging the pieces into a teeny tiny air hub.

As he finished up, his wife noticed he was frantically digging around in the box, checking all the packing materials.

"You are not going to believe this," he said. "The one piece missing... is the luggage!"

New Baby Sister

I was explaining to our nine-year-old son some of the things he could do to help so he wouldn't feel left out of the activities involving our newly arrived baby daughter. I finished by telling him that when his sister was older, he could even feed her.

"Oh, Mom," he replied ina plaintive voice, "I can’t even remember to feed the dog!"

Answers for this week

Fisherman

For their retirement vacation, my mother and father decided to drive through Alaska.

Dad, who loves to fish but never had the time, was especially looking forward to breaking in all the gear my brother and I had given him, including the graphite pole that came in its own leather case.

After driving for a few days, they found a perfect spot where Mom could read in the shade and Dad could fish. After he had struggled down the bank with all his gear, Mom was surprised to see him lugging it back up a few minutes later. He had just discovered that what he had packed was his leather-encased pool cue.

Just Tell Me

It would be nice if the Food and Drug Administration stopped issuing warnings about toxic substances and just gave me the names of oneor two things still safe to eat.

Lost

A friend of ours from another city was on her way to our house when suddenly she realized she had made a wrong turn.

She stopped and asked a lady for directions. "Go back down this road through a couple of traffic lights," she was instructed, "then stop and ask someone else."

Food I Like

A certain father was a chronic growler. He was sitting with his family in the presence of a guest in the parlor one day when the question of food came up.

One of the children, a little girl, was telling the guest very cleverly what food each member of the family liked best. Finally it came to the father's turn to be described.

"And what do I like, Nancy?" he asked laughingly.

"You," said the little girl slowly, "well, you like most anything we haven't got."

Already dreading what you'll spend this holiday season? It doesn't have to be that way.

Gifts aren't the only budget-busting culprit during the holidays. The weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year's are also a peak time for spending on groceries, travel, events, entertainment, energy, clothes and meals out.

Financial advisors recommend you use no more than 1.5 percent of your annual income on holiday spending (http:// www.practicalmoneyskills. com/holiday), so consider the following suggestions to keep it under control: Start with a list and make a budget. Begin your planning by listing every possible holiday expense you'll face – and don't stop at gifts. Consult the Practical Money Skills for Life comprehensive holiday budget planner (http://www. practicalmoneyskills.com/ yourholidaybudget) to help organize your information and track your spending.

Be open about money trouble. If you are facing financial difficulties during the holiday season, don't spend to hide the problem. Don't be ashamed to make adjustments and tell friends and family members that you'd like to temporarily downsize your spending until conditions improve. They might actually appreciate a spending reprieve, too.

Build a bargain-hunting strike force. Let friends and family know you're looking for particular toys, gifts,

foods or decorating items and volunteer to do the same for them. Save and share coupons. Encourage your group to find resources, check prices and share requests and ideas via social media. Results can come back in a matter of minutes.

Evaluate all transportation costs. Do you really need to run out of one or two items at a time? Designate certain days of the week for particular items, keep an eye out for free delivery and see if friends and family might want to share errands. Those with large vehicles or trucks can help move, deliver and even install appliances or electronics if they have the skills to do so. Smart transportation choices extend to car pools or public transportation for events and entertainment.

Leverage your creativity.

If there's something you make or do really well that people love, consider making such accomplishments into gifts.

From specialty food items your friends enjoy, to clothing or art, anything done well can be a gift. Don't rule out lessons or skilled labor as potential holiday gifts, particularly for relatives who can't afford such services at this time. Smart shopping for ingredients or supplies can make such creative gifts a real money saver.

Build a year-round gift stash. If there are gifts or foodstuffs you can buy on sale and keep for a while, you'll have a ready source of thank-you gifts for hosts, teachers or co-workers year-round. Set

aside a similar area for cards, gift tags and wrapping paper.

Also keep in mind that many retailers put holiday-themed items on sale before the holidays are finished. If you think you'll need these items next year, grab your coupons, take advantage and put those items aside for future gift giving.

Late saving for gifts? Do it anyway. If you don't have a holiday fund set up, don't let that keep you from starting one. Every little bit helps.

Take 5-10 percent of your next paycheck and set it aside, doing it each week throughout the holidays. If you keep it up, your holiday fund can eventually become an emergency fund to be used for other savings goals, including retirement.

Take notes for next holiday season. Create a paper or digital file where you can collect ideas for next year. Check print and online resources like Consumer Reports for items that can be bought at specific times of the year at a discount so you are able to hide them for the holidays – but remember where you hid them.

Bottom line: Keeping holidays affordable isn't a challenge when you're willing to do a little planning, ideasharing and record-keeping.

Make it an activity you can do year-round.
