National Park Service Ramps up to Centennial Celebration in 2016 CEDAR CITY - 2016 marks the Centennial of the National Parks Service (NPS) and throughout the year, NPS will engage in a broad public campaign called “Find Your Park” to reintroduce national parks, monuments, recreation areas and historical sites to a new generation of Americans.

Parks100 is a newly founded committee of over 25 organizations in what is known as the “Grand Circle” region of Arizona, Nevada and Utah.

Parks100 has joined forces to celebrate the National Park Service’s centennial in a new way. The committee has created a community, locally and online, to help visitors explore further into the Grand Circle area and find all types of parks, as well as local centennial events, suggested itineraries, educational resources, visitor centers and hidden gems.

Realizing the potential of a Grand Circle partnership with the Centennial celebration, Maria Twitchell, Cedar City/Brian Head Tourism Bureau executive director and chair of the centennial committee, established the group as a way to raise awareness on the unique and beautiful location of the region. Committee members consist of representatives from national and state parks, county and city tourism bureaus, the Bureau of Land Management, Dixie National Forest, and Southern Utah University.

“With the theme of “Find Your Park”, the Centennial is all about making connections with outdoor places and celebrating the unique bond communities have with the special places preserved within the national park system,” said Twitchell. “Nowhere else in the world is there an area surrounded by so many

Utah, gateway to America's most colorful National Parks. outstanding, national parks, monuments, state parks and recreation areas than here in the Grand Circle region. The Centennial presented us with a unique opportunity to collaborate as an area, to inspire visitors to explore more parks and celebrate our hidden gems.”

Cedar City’s connection to the national parks goes back to the beginning, as the gateway to Bryce and Zion National Parks and Cedar Breaks National Monument. According to Ryan Paul, museum curator for the Frontier Homestead State Park Museum, the

Utah Parks Company originally brought tourists to Cedar City to visit the national parks of southwestern Utah and northern Arizona. Cedar City marketed itself as the “Gateway to the National Parks” and became the jumping off point for the tour groups.

The national parks in our area continue to draw millions of visitors from around the world each year; the surreal scenery and extraordinary events are unforgettable. In the shadow of these parks are hidden treasures, amazing opportunities for adventure and a

completely new world to explore.

Parks 100 will help travelers in the “Grand Circle” area of Arizona, Nevada and Utah to not only experience the national parks, but to venture out of the well-traveled zone and Explore Five More® parks and outdoor recreation areas.

Of the People, by the People, for the People To the Editor, There is much to discuss and critique about Mr. Mein's op-ed letter (November 19 issue) regarding the failed Wayne School District tax levy. In the interest of brevity, I'll focus on a few important points.

Mr. Mein has an unusual take on government. He seems to believe it is an alien entity that fell out of the sky with the sole purpose of punishing all of us. But government is not a whole-cloth invention; it is us. It was created by ordinary citizens to bring some order and, yes, some benefit to society. It is run by the people we elected because their views aligned with ours. It is our representatives who wrote the laws Mr. Mein feels are so oppressive. Remember "of the people, by the people, for the people?" I'm surprised anyone has to be reminded.

Mr. Mein rails about extortion, theft, and aggression by the government. Clearly he does not accept that we are - and for our own good must be - "a nation of laws." The violence and seizures he dislikes are not arbitrarily inflicted by "the government." They are consequences people can avoid. They come only after someone has broken the law, laws we all wrote and that we have all agreed to abide by in this country.

Instead of looking up "tax" and "extort" in the dictionary, Mr. Mein would do well to look up "democracy" instead. We live in a civil and democratic society by our mutual agreement and contributions. If we don't like the laws the government has written on our behalf, we can work hard to change them and our representatives. Or else we can live somewhere else.

And if Mr. Mein feels the school's money may not be needed or spent well, he should run for the school board, help determine the use of school tax income, and see what it's like to be a part of government rather than an opponent.

Are there flaws in our system? Of course. Are there dishonest and corrupt people in government? Naturally. We all must work to correct those weaknesses. But it's still the best governing system in the world. And I do not fear it.

The Pattern Not Worth Repeating

by daNIel Clark, PHarm d CaNdIdate 2016 WayNe CommuNIty HealtH CeNter & kazaN memorIal ClINIC It is said that those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, diabetes is rising at an ‘alarming’ rate from 26 million in 2010 to over 29 million in 2014. Even more alarming is that currently 86 million individuals are classified as having pre-diabetes; a condition which if left unchecked may develop into diabetes. That’s nearly 30% of the United States population who has either diabetes or prediabetes. Further still, it is shown that 25 % of diabetic patients and up to 90% of pre-diabetic patients are unaware they even have the condition. Compounding the matter is that the risk of death is 50% higher in adults with diabetes, confirming its place as the 7th leading cause of death in the US. If history then repeats its self and this pattern continues, a large portion of the US population in the near future will have diabetes and will be at risk for very serious health complications.

Affecting more than just the health of the population, is the profound impact this has on the financial aspect of the healthcare system, currently totaling more than $245 billion in medical costs and lost work and wages.

What can be done to neutralize this threat or even reverse this growing trend? First, the disorder must be understood. After which, it can be addressed either on the basis of prevention or proper treatment of the condition.

Diabetes is a disease in which the body is not able to properly manage the sugar levels in the blood. It is further divided into two types. Type 1 diabetes is a condition in which the pancreas no longer makes insulin. Insulin is the key hormone that enables sugar to be utilized by the body. Currently there is no known way to prevent type 1 diabetes which accounts for approximately 5% of diabetic adults. It is thought to occur in genetically predisposed patients. In type 2 diabetes the body is unable to properly utilize insulin to regulate the levels of sugar in the body. Type 2 diabetes is considered preventable in most cases. There are various risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes including being overweight, inactive, having a family history of the disease, smoking, and older age.

The risk of diabetic complications such as blindness, kidney failure, heart disease, stroke and amputations can be decreased with early detection and treatment. Signs and symptoms of diabetes may include frequent urination, extreme fatigue, blurry vision, excessive thirst or hunger, the slow healing of bruises or wounds, and possible numbness and pain in the hands and feet.

Type 1 diabetes is usually managed with the administration of both short acting and long acting insulins. This must be done with precision to avoid diabetic complications of high or low blood sugar which can become very serious leading to a diabetic coma or even death.

Various options can be utilized to help manage type 2 diabetes including diet, exercise and medications. According to a recent study conducted by the National Institutes of Health, one can delay or prevent type 2 diabetes by losing 5-7% of their total body weight through increased exercise and healthy eating. The recommendation for exercise is a minimum of 30 minutes per day, at least 5 days per week. Healthier eating habits include having a reduced fat, lower calorie diet while increasing intake of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and fiber. Various medications may also be indicated depending on the progression of the disease and need of the patient.

Through understanding the seriousness of diabetes, one is empowered to take action to both prevent the disease and/or manage the health risks thereby preventing the high cost of the complications associated with it.

Team Penning We were watching the 4H kids show their cattle one afternoon in September of 1992 when one of the guys from the ranch walked up into the stands and told us about a really interesting event going on over in one of the horse arenas. He said they were calling it “team penning” and we ought to go take a look. So we all got up and strolled over to see what this was about.

It was a wild and crazy spectacle that presented itself to us and it took a while

like in most other equine speed events. It started when the riders crossed a line in the arena and ended when the third steer ran into the pen and the rider threw up his arm.

What was fascinating to us was the degree of what looked like pure pandemonium going on down there. Hats were flying off, riders were falling off, horses were racing into the herd of cattle scattering them in all directions, everyone was yelling at the cows and each other and it's true,

And the jacket to prove it....the author sports her team penning reserve champion jacket from the New Mexico State Fair. to figure out what was going on. There were thirty head of cattle all wearing numbers from one to ten milling around at the far end of the arena and on the near side there was a small three-sided corral placed between the middle of the arena and the fence. The opening faced away from where the cattle were. Three riders would enter the arena and at the whistle they would all take off in the direction of the cattle and at the same time the announcer would say a number.

The idea was to gather up just those three cattle wearing that number and get them into the pen as quickly as possible without bringing any other cattle with them nor even having any cattle on that side of the line. Time was kept just

some were getting penned, but it was a sight to behold. I saw several riders charge into the herd and have their horse, obviously more attuned to the situation than his rider, turn quickly to follow the steer and lose the rider right then.

One went flying clear over the fence out of the arena when his horse switched directions.

So we're sitting in the stands and start talking about this amazing show and agreed that not only did we have better horses, we were probably better riders and could read cattle better too. It was decided that when we got back to the ranch, we were going to practice this new sport and just see what we could do.

And that's just what we did. We took a bunch of the guys' roping steers, painted numbers on their sides, put a little three-sided panel corral into our arena and went to work figuring out how team penning was supposed to work. We came up with a number of different tactics for penning depending on how the cattle moved around and whether or not they were settled or spooky on any given day. Sometimes it worked well for just one rider to cut out the designated steer and have the others pen it while he cut another. Other times we'd all three just go in and grab our own steer and pen it ourselves.

out that it didn't seem to matter who was working with who.

We'd worked together so long on the ranch that we were all pretty much in tune with whoever we partnered with.

We all rode real cow-y ranch horses so cutting and penning was right up their alley. The only real difference was the speed at which this was done. Never had any of them been asked to run a cow at full tilt straight into a little pen as if all the devils in hell were after her. And that, actually, was one of the things all of us human competitors found the most satisfying. On the ranch we'd never handle cattle so rough, but this sport gave us permission, encouraged us in fact, to race around and take after the cattle in a way we'd never try with the boss's good Herefords. It was therapeutic in its own weird way.....

We practiced on and off all that Winter and by Spring of '93 we were ready to take

our show on the road. There were team pennings in numerous places within driving range so we'd try to finish up work on a Friday, load up our horses and gear and drive to some little town in Colorado or New Mexico, spend the night, compete on Saturday and drive home late that night.

We'd been wrong to think that what we saw in Albuquerque the previous Fall was typical of the sport. We ran into teams that were so fast and so good it'd just make your head spin.

Winning times were always well under 60 seconds. Even so, we were usually in the money so although we weren't getting rich, our heads were getting bigger.

The only downside to all this was that it seriously cut into our ranch work. The time on the road and staying in motels and eating out was all fun, but it was turning into an expensive hobby. By Fall we had decided to compete in the New Mexico State Fair and then no matter what happened, to quit.

Once again, we hauled the kids and their show steers to Albuquerque, but this time we also had a trailer full of our horses. Competitions were held for several days, but basically it was a constant run-off to narrow the competitors. If you won or placed in a competition, you'd go on to the next, and so on until the Saturday afternoon when the championship events were to take place.

On this occasion, the team I was in consisted of one of the ranch hands, Roy, the boss's brother, Lee, and myself. I had two horses that I competed on, my little cutting-bred stud, Reed, and an older Quarter Horse gelding named Cody.

I was riding Cody on the last day of the eliminations. At each turn, we came in in the top three and got to move to the next round, and on the final round, we got lucky and took second place to be New Mexico State Reserve Champions.

All these years later, about the only thing I remember about that last round was riding out of the arena and having several people run up and ask if I'd sell Cody.

Bryce Valley Elementary News by kym rouNdy and trINIty WHItfIeld

We had an eventful week at Bryce Valley Elementary. We had three different assemblies in the elementary. The first assembly was the red ribbon assembly put on by the Garfield County Sheriff's office. They came and talked to us about drugs and brought Sir Lance A Lot, Deputy Pierson's drug dog. It is always a great time when he joins us. The next assembly was the Veterans Day Assembly. Three of the classes performed songs and did a great job. Dale Pollock was the guest speaker and we learned a lot from him and appreciate his service. The last assembly was the first quarter rewards assembly. Students are able to earn yellow and green cards during the quarter for a variety of things, such as good behavior, no missing work, 100% home reading, or 100% on homework. The big prize was a Kindle Fire!! Milo Atwood, a sixth grader, won it!

We were all surprised when he won it. We all had an amazing week and hope you all did too!

Also coming up on the 30th & 31st of November and the 1st & 2nd of December will be the Book Fair. It will be held in the Bryce Valley Elementary Library from 7:45 A.M. until 11:30 A.M. Come support the library and see all the wonderful books that will be available for you to purchase for Christmas reading.

PHS Sports Sidelines by maCk oettING

Winter Sports!

The Lady Cats got things off and running up at the arena in Richfield, in a pair of run away games against Monticello (the team that the Cats beat in the Championship Volleyball game) it was more of the same. The Ladies got off to a really slow start, only leading after the 1st quarter 8 to 6 and at the half it was 15 to 12, leaving some fans from other schools saying that they weren’t going to have to worry about Panguitch this year. The Cats came out running on all 5 cylinders, making these nay sayers eat their words, as bad as the Cats looked in the first half, they looked like world beaters in the second, out scoring Monticello 47 to 19.

Taylor Bennett and Chesney Campbell really put on a clinic, Chesney had 9 steals to go with her 15 points and Taylor who last year mostly shot 3 pointers was hitting baskets from all over the court for 21 points. The Cats just blew Monticello out of the water, 62 to 31. Against Tintic, the Cats rolled from the start of the game and it was even close and it ended up a wipe out 69 to 21. Chesney had game high 23 points and Taylor had 16.

The game was televised on

channel 63.

I came across the 2014 Lady Cats Championship program and they won 25 straight games that year and last year it was more of the same with I think, the girls won 27 games, so this makes them with 54 straight wins. As good as the Ladies looked this early I predict that they won’t lose any

games this year, how good is that?

Last Sunday Whittni Orton family hosted the coach from BYU for dinner, he was here to recruit Whitt for their Track program. Whittni signed a letter of intent and will be spending her college years running for the Cougars. Good for you Miss Orton!

WHS “PAWS” for Kindness by asHtyNN strINGHam

During the months of November and December, the Wayne High School Anti-Bullying Coalition Ambassadors are sponsoring a “PAWS” for Kindness activity. All homeroom classes are able to participate. The only thing students and teachers have to do is catch someone being kind, put the kind student’s name, the name of the student who caught the act of kindness being performed, and the homeroom teacher’s name on a “PAWS” paper, return the “PAWS” paper to Mrs. Stringham, and ‘ta-da,’ kindness is recognized! The home room class with the most “PAWS” papers in the hallway at the end of the activity will receive a home room party!

On November 10, 2015, in the WHS auditorium, WHS Anti-Bullying Ambassadors,

Ashtynn Stringham, Tegan New, Ethan Lee, and Tyler Chappell shared a short assembly with the student body explaining the term “empathy.”

The Ambassadors have decided that the actual act of bullying might not be the problem at Wayne High School, but the lack of empathy, or the ability to understand and share the feelings of another, is where the bullying issues at WHS are coming into play. WHS is a small community. We all know each other, but sometimes we either don’t or can’t recognize the problems that our fellow citizens (students and teachers) are having. The assembly was focused on “walking a mile in my shoes.” Ethan, Tyler, Ashtynn, and Tegan all had a shoe with a story. The thought they shared was that no mat-

ter what you think you know about someone, you never really know what that person is going through or has to deal with daily. The Ambassadors really want to have the student body recognize that empathy is the way to deal with others.

Empathy is…seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another.

The Anti-Bullying Ambassadors have a lot of really great things planned for the rest of the school year.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the antibullying programs, or the information being presented by the Ambassadors, please contact Mrs. Nikki Stringham at Wayne High School.

Pain Free Charitable Giving

by Jeffery J. mCkeNNa

Doing certain things in life makes you feel good.

Giving to a charity or worthy cause not only makes you feel good, it “fills one’s soul.”

As an estate planning attorney, I have enjoyed helping clients create charitable bequests and even legacies.

Although there are more complex ways to leverage your charitable bequests, you may be surprised how simply you can create a charitable legacy.

With permission from the client and Dixie State College, I would like to share a specific example. This particular client loves music. At age 80, she continues to take personal piano lessons and enjoys attending symphony productions. She talked to me about doing something special for the Dixie State Symphony Orchestra.

Please know the client’s estate is very “normal” in size.

It consists of a comfortable home, a bank account and a modest retirement account.

This wonderful individual is not in the “rich and famous” club. She is an ordinary person doing something extraordinary.

As part of her estate plan, she established a “legacy bequest” to the Dixie State Symphony Orchestra. To create the “legacy bequest” we simply established that upon her

death a trust would be created benefiting the Orchestra. The charitable bequest can be all or a small percentage of one’s overall estate. Even a small percentage of one’s estate can be a “legacy bequest” if structured correctly.

It is a “legacy bequest” because it will go on forever.

In this case, 90% of the net income generated from the trust will be distributed to the Orchestra. The other 10% of net income will be retained in the trust to help it grow.

In 100 years from now, the Dixie State Symphony Orchestra will still be benefiting from this client’s charitable bequest.

In fact, with the 10% added to principal each year, in 100 years from now the annual bequests of 90% of net income will be significantly greater. As the years turn into decades, this client’s simple act of charity will be benefiting the lives of more and more orchestra members through partial scholarships, as well as the Dixie State Orchestra in general.

“Legacy bequests” benefit charities for generations to come. With a simple amendment to an existing estate plan or a small addition to a plan being created, you can leave a charitable bequest that will benefit the lives of musi-

temperament, the instructor noted that a test for a canine's disposition was for an owner to fall down and act hurt. A dog with poor temperament would try to bite the person, whereas a good dog would lick his owner's face or show concern.

Once, while eating pizza in the living room, I decided to try out this theory on my two dogs. I stood up, clutched my heart, let out a scream and collapsed on the floor.

The dogs looked at me, glanced at each other and raced to the coffee table for my pizza.

Costly Eggs

I went to a restaurant where three eggs cost $8.95.

The waitress said, "Would you like them scrambled?"

I said, "No. At $3 an egg I want to count them."

old to take his dirty clothes and put them into the hamper. He looked puzzled, and I explained. "You know; it's the place where we put our dirty clothes before they're washed."

My son picked up his things, trotted into my bedroom, and dropped his clothes on the floor ... on his father's side of the bed.

Doctor's Orders

My doctor told me to start my exercise program very gradually so today I drove past a store that sells sweat pants.

A man riding out in the woods fell from his horse and broke his leg.

He was a long way out, so the situation looked pretty grim. Then the horse grabbed the man's belt in his teeth and dragged him to the shade of a nearby tree. He made the man as comfortable as he could and then galloped off to get help.

The man was discussing the incident a few weeks later.

His friend was very impressed and said, "That is one intelligent horse!"

"Naah, he's not so smart.

He came back with a vet."

Communication

A husband and wife were at a party chatting with some friends when the subject of marriage counseling came up.

"Oh, we'll never need that. My husband and I have a great relationship," the wife explained.

"He was a communications major in college, and I majored in theater arts. He communicates really well, and I just act as if I'm listening."

She blessed her parents, Dr. Vay Leslie and Shirly Elaine Tussing Peterson, with her birth on March 30th, 1944 in Los Angeles, California. She graduated from San Marino High School and then attended Pasadena City College.

She married Guy Benton Morrison on May 27th, 1966. They had two daughters.

After raising her children, she returned to college and earned her teaching certificate. She taught preschool for many years and later worked as a teacher’s assistant. She loved teaching so much, that in her spare time she taught Sunday school.

Sally’s children and grandchildren were her life. She loved each one unconditionally and gave the most thoughtful gifts. She will be missed by her daughters: Heather Dawn and Kirsten Danita; five grandchildren: Sierra, Harleigh, Samuel, Kenzie, and Jenifer; and one great-granddaughter, Chloe Rae, whom she called Truly Scrumptious.

Sally had a kind heart and much advice to give. She appreciated good food and old movies. She had a great sense of humor and told the best stories.

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com I hope you had a bountiful and a happy Thanksgiving.

The future weather report had a really ugly looking weather front that was supposed to hit Utah on Wednesday or Thursday. If you were traveling I hope you were safe and if you stayed home I pray that you were warm. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, because of all that we have to be thankful for, living in a small town where people really care about you and the best scenery in the world as well as air to breath that you can’t see and the best water to drink anywhere.

If you like the outdoors Panguitch is your place, fishing, hunting, snow activities and all the ATV trails, that would take you a life time to ride them all. We also are blessed with a great medical facility and tons of volunteers to aid you in a crisis. Yes we all have a lot of things to be thankful for!

I got a call from my Granddaughter Teah who is doing a rotation in Anchorage Alaska. She just had dinner with her friend from Hatch, McKenzie Humphreys (I don’t know her married name). McKenzie is in the Air Force and is a Dental Hygienist and her husband is a civilian diesel mechanic for the Air Force. Teah says McKenzie is really happy and she also has two children and she loves Alaska. Teah also said it was 8:30 there and the temperature was a toasty -7 degrees. By the time of this issue she will be back home for a month.

The Gem Theater has had some really good movies lately and we saw the Bridges of

Spies the other night. It starred Tom Hanks and it took place in 1957 the year that Pat and I were married, talk about bring back memories. The movie was about a Russian spy that we traded for Francis Powell a U2 spy plane pilot. Powell was one of the pilots that flew these aircrafts at 70,000 feet and took pictures of the terrain below. The movie was really good, but what I remember most about it was, that was the year that the Russians were finishing up the Berlin wall.

The wall separated East and West Berlin and stood for over 30 years and claimed many lives from those that tried to escape. Now a politician wants to build another Berlin wall along our borders to keep people out.

December is coming up real quick; these are some of the dates that are just around the corner. Laura Adams is holding a class from Utah State on how to build a healthy future for your teens.

Ideas and strategies will be discussed on how to promote positive emotional health in teens. There is no cost for this class and dinner will be served. The class will be held on Tuesday December 1st at 5:00 and it will be at the New Frontiers for Families building at 609 N. Main. Saturday the 5th at the Social Hall, it will be Christmas in the Country. Santa will be arriving at 10:00am in his giant red fire truck and he will have Christmas treats for all. Also Santa will be making a run over to the Extended Care to bring gifts to those that are there. At 1:00 it will be the Merchants drawing for prizes, you can get tickets for the drawing by spending $10.00 at our local merchants. Saturday, the day after Black Friday, will be shop at your small Merchants businesses. In the evening at 5:00 – 8:00pm Santa will be having her annual Christmas home tours, all decorated for the season. Before this paper is out the advertisement for the home tours will be out with names and addresses of the Christmas Home Tours.

Santa says that if you need or know someone that might need some help this Christmas for gifts for the kids give her

a call at (676-2418). This is the 20th annual Sub for Santa and Santa and her elves have helped out over 2,000 kids, during that time. All funds and gifts that are donated stay in our area.

LDS news, on Sunday the 6th, Apostle Oaks will address the Saints in our area at the Stake Center, at a special Stake Conference meeting.

The meeting will start at 9:00 am and with only 3 speakers the meeting should be over by 10:30. The Panguitch 1st Ward’s Christmas party will be on December 8th and it will begin at 6:00pm. The next night, on the 9th, it will be a 4 Ward girls night out with the Relief Society annual Christmas party.

I have a slight problem that many of you might be in the same situation. I am getting swamped with requests for money from everywhere. I do donate to groups that I feel can use the money, but now I am receiving from 2 to 5 requests every day. Last Monday I got one from an outfit that wanted money to stop the killing of horses for their meat.

Also I got one to stop the large companies from using fertilizers that kill honey bees that

same day. The next day I got one from the Catholic Society, I have received about 15 calendars, hundreds of return address stickers and plenty of Christmas cards, all unsolicited. I get requests from the GOP group that wants me to fill out a survey and send them $25.00 to help them process the survey. I now throw them all in the bins at the Post Office.

If you are interested in getting health insurance, Wal Mart has a table in the front of the store that has information for a lot of companies that are offering insurance at low prices. If nothing else it would pay you to take out insurance with a high deductible, any problem health wise that you have will surely eat up that deductible.

Utah ranks 34 in the Country in those that are covered with some kinds of health coverage, with 12% of Utahans not covered. That survey was done before they closed down Arches insurance that had 33,000 covered and before the Governor shut down Planned Parenthood that provides coverage for the poorest of the women in the state.

Stay warm my friend.

Think Twice About Spending That Bonus

by NatHaNIel sIllIN

When is a bonus not a bonus? When you fail to think about what that extra income will mean to your overall finances.

I don't mean to spoil the fun. Bonuses, particularly if they recognize your great performance during the year, are rewarding in a number of ways beyond money. It means your work is being noticed and you might rise higher in the organization – always a good thing.

However, in many organizations, bonus compensation has developed and transformed to a new entity, very different from how it was a generation ago. So before you book your dream trip to an exotic beachfront resort, take a closer look.

According to human resources and management consulting firm Aon Hewitt, (http://www.aon.com/humancapital-consulting/), some 90 percent of employers have either implemented or are considering something called "variable pay systems" that mean a greater reliance on "incentives, bonuses and cash awards," to reward high-performing employees.

Employers are signing on because it helps them slow the growth of overall payroll, which is the biggest fixed cost in any business. It also offers a way to boost performance among workers at all levels.

What do one-time bonuses or a conversion to a variable-pay system mean for you? Potentially, this could result in changes to your tax situation, the overall value

of your employer- and government-based benefits and therefore, your long-term financial picture. Here are some questions to ask: What kind of bonus is it? Make sure you understand whether a bonus is a one-time award or a shift to an ongoing bonus system. This is a money and a career question.

If you are going to be evaluated under new benchmarks and measurements for work you've done every day, you should fully understand these new guidelines and how you can maximize them in your best interest.

Get qualified advice. A one-time bonus or a long-term change in the way you're being compensated is an important financial event. Consider speaking with a qualified financial planner or tax expert about any bonus news you receive and see how they think you should handle the money.

Keep in mind that the Internal Revenue Service generally considers bonuses as supplemental wages that can be taxed at a higher rate. Check IRS Publication 15 for more detail. Keep in mind that your salary level – not extra money you get from bonuses or other incentives – provides the basis for calculating your employee benefits and what a lender might offer for mortgages or other credit. In some cases, it might be better to save or invest that bonus than to spend it outright.

Ask questions. Read any paperwork that accompanies your bonus information, write down questions and take them

to your employer's designated human resource representative or manager directly.

Be practical, but don't forget the fun. Consider treating your bonus like your paycheck – evaluate what essential needs should to be addressed first and figure out what you can spend for fun.

Make a change if you need to. As more employers adopt variable pay and performance grading systems, consider issues beyond the money. For example, if you are doing work you love, will meeting new performance targets change how you feel about your job? Are you ready to take on the challenges of a workplace where you're graded and evaluated in a different way than you are used to? In some environments, new employee compensation methods can be liberating and financially rewarding; in others, it can make it tougher to stay. See where you stand, and if changing jobs might be worthwhile, consider looking for a better opportunity (http://www. practicalmoneyskills.com/personalfinance/lifeevents/work/ landingjob.php).

Bottom line: The way workers are being paid is changing. It's important to understand how one-time or annual bonuses might affect your long-term finances.
