FREMONT - Steve Taylor’s local history class enjoyed a fall field trip exploring Wayne, Sevier, and Piute counties while tracing key locations on the Old Spanish Trail as well as other historic locations. The field trip began in Fremont. The group headed north on Highway 72 with stops to discuss the locations of early trails. After a stop at the Old Spanish Trail interpretive area at Red Creek Canyon, the group took the interstate to Central Valley where they picked up the Old Spanish Trail as it headed south. After lunch north of Marysville at Hoover’s, the group traveled through Kingston Canyon and Grass Valley to another location on the Fishlake cutoff of the Old Spanish Trail. Thanks to Steve Taylor for organizing the informative trip. —Annette Lamb

Shop "Small Business Saturday" on November 29 WAYNE & GARFIELD COUNTIES - Forget Black Friday with all the pushing, shoving, crowded parking lots, and long lines. This year consider the national movement to support local small business, Shop Small Businesses Saturday, Nov. 29, 2014. There are many welldocumented benefits of shopping in local, independently owned businesses. We realize it is not always possible to buy what you need locally but consider these 5 facts before you gas up the car and head out of town. 1. When you buy from an independent, locally owned business, rather than a nationally owned business, significantly more of your money goes back into your community strengthening the economic base. 2. Local businesses are the first place we go when looking for a donation, when you need help with a commu-

nity project or assisting a local family in their time of need. Local businesses owners serve on boards and volunteer for community activities. Support these businesses so they can continue to support their communities. 3. Where we shop, where we eat and have fun -- all of it makes our community home. Our one-of-a-kind businesses are an integral part of the distinctive character of small towns. 4. S m a l l local businesses are the largest employer nationally and in our communities, provide the most jobs to residents. 5. L o c a l businesses often hire people with a better understanding of the products they are selling and take
more time to get to know customers. One trip to your local hardware store and you will find a neighbor who understands products and solutions that are unique to where we live.

The Bryce Valley Elementary ART Night on November 6th welcomed Beverly Taylor Sorensen officials, Carrie Trenholm from Southern Utah University; Lisa Cluff, Friends of Beverly Taylor Sorensen Chair, Salt Lake City; along with local BTSAP mentor Janice Hatch to enjoy an evening of instrumental and vocal performance at the Bryce Valley High School Auditorium. Elementary students K-6 sang and performed on instruments for a large gathering of parents and community. Students created Fall themed visual art and a decorative display including two gardens of festive "gourds". Parents were invited to experience the dovetailing of integrated curriculum with art. The 7th grade Music Class created ambience by their costuming choice, "Jazz musical era" attire inviting audience guests
to be seated and ushering parents through art displays. The Bryce Valley High School Orchestra performed four selections ending with "Harvest Reel", a perfect conclusion to an evening celebrating music and visual art. Music Specialist, Nancy Guymon has been delighted with the enthusiasm of students, parents and administration in this first year implementing the Beverly Taylor Sorensen Art Program Grant in the two schools where she teaches. Music making creates a superb opportunity to engage the students' learning abilities by accessing different parts of the brain and body in developing creative processes along with learning core curriculum. Both schools anticipate the arrival of the Holiday Season and the approach of Christmas Programs now being rehearsed.

Brian Head Resort Debuts New High-Speed Quad and Millions in Renovations for 2014-15 Season BRIAN HEAD - This year's season opener at Brian Head Resort promises to be one of excitement and discovery with the addition of a highspeed quad chairlift, millions of dollars of facility upgrades and a state-of-the-art Terrain Based Learning center. “It’s a whole new Resort,” said Burke Wilkerson, general manager at Brian Head Resort. “Families are going to love the speed and convenience of the new quad, along with the new look of our lodges and restaurants.” The 2014-2015 season also marks the 50th anniversary for Brian Head Resort. As part of the anniversary celebration, the Resort is focusing on its roots as a premier destination for families looking for affordable and accessible winter sports activities. “We’ve lowered midweek lift ticket prices even though we’ve spent upwards of $6 million to improve the
experience,” Wilkerson said. “We’ve come a long way from our first chairlift in 1964, and today we provide guests with a better ski environment than resorts charging three times as much.” Installation of the new Giant Steps Express high-speed quad chairlift took place over the summer and replaces the previous Giant Steps lift. The new lift will zoom skiers and snowboarders to the top of the mountain in half the time it took on the old lift. In addition to moving more people more quickly, the quad will also save time by limiting stoppages. The detachable chairs will slow to a crawl during loading and unloading, so that the four passengers can easily get situated before the chair reattaches to the highspeed cable. “We’ve always been
known for giving people more time on the slopes, and the highspeed quad takes us to the next level,” said John Grissinger, president of Brian Head Resort. “At Brian Head Resort, you don’t waste time on a chairlift or in a long line.” The golden anniversary celebration at Brian Head Resort also brings a new philosophy to the slopes to help both the young and old learn how to ski and snowboard. The Terrain Based Learning program uses sculpted snow to make the beginner experience more fun and natural. “Terrain Based Learning results in faster learning and more confidence,” Grissinger said. “Bringing this revolutionary program to Brian Head Resort shows our commitment to providing first-time guests with an over-the-top experience.” Other recent improve-
ments include updated public spaces, shops and restaurants, a new tubing park, additional lighting for night skiing, and more amenities at the advanced terrain park. The BlackFoot Lift No. 3 will open Friday, Nov. 21, at 10:00 a.m. Pricing will be discounted to $25 for adults and $18 for children/seniors until adequate snow coverage allows additional terrain/lifts to open. Night skiing will also be available. To check conditions and operating lifts/runs, visit: www.brianhead.com. Opening weekend festivities include a Rail Jam on Saturday, Nov. 22, with prizes for both competitors and those in the crowd. The Last Chair Saloon will feature live music, $5 dinner specials and hourly prize drawings on Friday and Saturday from 4 to 7 p.m. —Brian Head Resort
USDA Awards Grant to U of U to Boost Rural Education SALT LAKE CITY USDA Rural Development State Director Dave Conine today announced that USDA has awarded a grant of $469,300 to the University of Utah for the Utah Education Network to improve access to new state funded concurrent enrollment offerings for Utah’s rural high schools and college credit classes to communities. “Utah’s rural schools face significant challenges in education versus schools in nonrural areas. They have greater difficulty hiring teachers and offering specialty programs,” said Conine. “This Distance Learning and Telemedicine grant will serve thousands of rural students across Utah, providing them with the opportunity to get a head start on
advancing their education.” USDA Rural Development’s Distance Learning and Telemedicine (DLT) Grant Program is specifically designed to assist rural communities in acquiring distance learning and telemedical technologies so that local teachers and medical service providers who serve rural residents can establish interactive video conferencing links to teachers, medical professionals, and other needed expertise located at distances too far to access otherwise. Through this grant, the Utah Education Network anticipates approximately 15,875 Utah students in 46 rural schools and communities will be served. In addition, dis-
tance learning services will be established for the first time to the Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Indians. Funding for the recipient is contingent upon their meeting the terms of the grant agreement. President Obama's historic investments in rural America have made our rural communities stronger. Under his leadership, these investments in housing, community facilities, businesses and infrastructure have empowered rural America to continue leading the way strengthening America's economy, small towns and rural communities. —USDA Rural Development Agency

Schools & Sports Happy Thanksgiving
With the Thanksgiving holiday upon us, I would like to express my thankfulness to all of the employees in the Garfield School District. They work diligently each day to help the students in our District achieve their greatest academic potential. In order for a school district to function effectively, it takes everyone working in harmony to achieve the common goal of high-quality academic instruction.
It starts with the bus driver picking up students and delivering them safely to school each day. Teachers prepare curriculum and plan for the students and when enter the classroom they are greeted by a teacher who knows them by name and genuinely cares about each student. Para educators provide additional resources to students in reading, writing, mathematics, libraries, and computer labs. Custodians work to make sure the

facilities are clean and safe for our students. Secretaries handle calls, receipt lunch money, and oversee records and reports for the school. Lunch workers prepare lunch and breakfast for the students to ensure their nutritional needs are met. School principals manage the daily operations of the schools with a genuine concern for the students in their buildings. Coaches spend time with our student athletes to teach teamwork, character building, and sportsmanship. The District office handles all of the payroll, testing, finance, state reporting, maintenance and technology needs for the students in the District. The School Board approves the policies, budgets, curriculum, and expenditures. I appreciate the parents and grandparents who help students with homework or listen to students read. It takes all of us to impact student achievement. I am truly thankful for all of the employees in the Garfield School District who help students in our schools in all aspects. This District is a wonderful place to work because of the many great people who make their careers and dedicate their time to helping the students in our District achieve their academic potential. Thank you for allowing me to be the Superintendent of the Garfield School. I consider it an honor and a privilege to work in this profession with such wonderful individuals and students. —Superintendent Ben Dalton

WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
by John Cloud Hello again all! Things are going well at BV, as our girls recently won some of their first games! they did quite well, leading one game by roughly thirty, and we are excited to see where they go next. The other sports are still going strong, with basketball practices still going around three hours long. The orchestra class is getting ready for a Christmas performance sometime in late December, and are beginning to pick up a few Christmas songs to play at this event. Some of us are looking forward to it a good deal, and can't wait to learn more, while others are somewhat more hesitant. That said, everyone is advancing nicely. The shop students are getting good enough they're starting to do more complicated welds, and the Pro-Start class is still driving most of the school nuts by cooking food that smells really good before lunch of course. More to come! John Cloud is a senior at Bryce Valley High School.

The Winter Sports Season Begins The Lady Cats got their season off to a flying start in basketball, with very dominating games at the SVC early season tournament. They Cats beat up on Duchene 59 to 31 on Friday morning, with Darri Frandsen chipping in 18 in the effort. In the Saturday afternoon game against Wendover it was more of the same, with the Cats leading 30 to 4 at half time. The starters played less than a half of the game, all of team got into this game and finished the game with a 60 to 21 victory. The Ladies had one more game at SVC last Tuesday, but as good as they looked I doubt that anyone is going to touch them, again this year. The Lady Cats have two home games coming up, with Pine View (a 2A team) will be here Dec. 10th and Valley on the 12th. The Ladies will hit the road and won’t have another home game till Jan. 6th when Escalante comes calling. Like in Volleyball it looks like the competition will come from Piute and they will be fun games. The Bobcats started their

After last night's game the Cats don’t have another home game till Jan. 2 when Milford will be here. The Cats have an away game against Parowan on Dec. 3rd. They have games at SVC on the 12th and 13th against Duchesne and Altamont. Then out to Enterprise on the 17th and finally a close game on the 19th at Piute. A lot of great games early on, for both teams you are just going to have to travel to see them.
The Wrestling season started here with the Panguitch Invitational on Dec. 5th and 6th. This is a really big tournament with as many as 30 teams will be here. The tough guys take part in 14 matches throughout the year; all of them are on the road. Wrestling has a big following, so come on out while they are here on the 5th & 6. We have a new sign on the front of the gymnasium, many thanks to Bob Burton for his wonderful artistic talent, in creating this awesome work of art. Check out the detail on Bob’s work it is really something.
The Badger Bulletin It's been a busy, but productive school year thus far for Wayne High School staff and students: Parents In Education (PIE) Night was held Thursday, November 13th at the high school. We had approximately 60 parents and community members who attended the event and had a variety of classes to choose from. These classes informed and educated parents about student and family issues. Classes ranged from Suicide/ Mental Health by the Central Utah Counseling Center, to Internet Safety/Cyberbullying taught by guest speaker Jason Strate. (CUES Director) Statistics: • Many who attempt
by Sage Blackburn suicide never seek professional care • 1 in 65,000 children ages 10-14 die by suicide each year • For young people 1524 years old, suicide is the second leading cause of death Incentives such as extra credit and/or Cool 2 Care cards were given to students whose parents came to the event. Thank you to the parents who attended the second annual PIE Night! Wayne High School has implemented the anti-bully program called "Cool 2 Care." Through this program, students learn what it takes to have Badger PRIDE, an acronym that Cool 2 Care Ambassadors created which stands
for: Personal Responsibility, Respect, Integrity, Discipline, and Extraordinary. Teachers and Cool 2 Care Ambassadors strive to recognize the students who exemplify what it means to have Badger PRIDE by giving Cool 2 Cards to those who symbolize a compassionate individual. Those who receive cards have a chance to win various prizes in the weekly drawing, if their card is chosen. Our goal is to ensure that every student at Wayne High School feels safe, welcomed, and challenged to be and do their very best. Sage Blackburn is a senior at Wayne High School.

Standing in line at the clothing store's counter, I watched as the woman ahead of me handed the clerk her credit card. The customer waited for a long time while the saleswoman went to verify the account. When she finally returned, the clerk said, "I'm sorry, but this card is in your husband's name, and we can't accept it because the records show that he is deceased." With that, the woman turned to her husband, who was standing next to her and asked, "Does this mean I don't have to fix lunch for you today?"
Long Eyelashes
Frequently complimented on what a pretty girl she was, five-year-old Maria had become fairly used to relatives' and friends' comments. One evening my friend Eleanor came to visit just as Maria was being tucked into bed, so she came to say good night. "My," Eleanor said, "you have really long eyelashes!" "Yes," said Maria. "They should be long. I've been growing them for five years," she paused, "and I never cut them once."

Smart Financial Moves for Transitioning Vets
Dive Crew
As a commercial diver in the offshore oil fields of the Gulf of Mexico, I was assigned to a job on board a derrick barge. After my dive I spent the required time in the decompression chamber, and went to bed. Later I walked into the TV room, where I was surprised to see the entire dive crew sitting around. I asked one colleague, dressed in his wet suit, why work had stopped. Without looking up at me, he replied, "It's raining."
New Tattoo
Being a teenager and getting a tattoo seem to go hand and hand these days. I wasn't surprised when one of my daughter's friends showed me a delicate little Japanese symbol on her hip. "Please don't tell my parents," she begged. "I won't," I promised. "By the way, what does that stand for?" "Honesty," she said.

The latest generations of veterans face a particularly complicated financial picture, attributed to multiple deployments, a tough civilian economy, predatory lending threats at home and disability and health issues. That's why the Veterans Financial Coalition (http://www. veteransfinancialcoalition.org) was formed in June 2014 by a diverse group of organizations including Visa's Practical Money Skills for Life, Association for Financial Counseling and Planning Education (AFCPE), Consumer Action, and the Consumer Federation of America. The coalition welcomed three new members in November – Call For Action, the National Consumers League (NCL) and the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC). The organization aims to meet the needs of veterans reentering civilian life by executing three goals: • Educate veterans and the community organizations that serve them. • Research consumer protections for veterans. • Raise awareness for veterans' financial needs. Aside from the Veterans Financial Coalition, returning veterans and reservists can also use the following suggestions and resources to build their post-military financial and career path: Get personalized advice: Throughout the military career
lifecycle, active military, reservists and retired military personnel have access to specific savings, investing and spending resources. But nothing takes the place of personalized financial/tax advice and lifetime personal finance education. Veterans can view and download resources such as budgeting tips, tax break information and educational games from the Veterans Financial Coalition. As part of the Coalition's free resources, the AFCPE also provides an online database to locate a certified professional financial counselor to help with savings, spending, investing and tax issues. On the credit front, Wells Fargo has partnered with the National Foundation for Credit Counseling and its Sharpen Your Financial Focus initiative to deliver Wells Fargo's Hands on Banking (http://www.handsonbanking. org/financial-education/handson-banking-for-military/) education program specifically for servicemembers. Take advantage of all transition assistance programs. The Transition Assistance Program (TAP) offered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is a first-step clearinghouse for information on VA career, educational, financial and vocational rehabilitation assistance. Workshop and video guides are available on the site in addition to links to the Veterans Opportunity to Work (VOW) program and other VA
training and career success programs. Avoid scams. Sadly, active and returning military personnel are often targets for a diverse range of financial fraud. Veterans Financial Coalition member Consumer Action offers an Economic Survival Guide for Servicemembers and Veterans. Get tax help. The Internal Revenue Service website provides a variety of tax resources for active military and veterans. It is also worthwhile to work with a licensed tax professional with expertise in military transition issues. You can also contact your state CPA (Certified Public Accountant) society to gather names of professionals in your area. Always remember to interview professionals before you hire them. Go deeper on education breaks. Check the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs website for its education benefits. The Post-9/11 GI Bill, for example, may cover the full cost of in-state tuition and fees for a public college for up to 36 months (four years) after release from active duty. Bottom line: If you're a veteran or know one, take advantage of the full range of financial, career and training resources to secure a bright, post-military future.

Today’s edition of the paper came out on Thanksgiving Day and I hope that you had a good turkey dinner with family and friends. We enjoyed your company at the Senior Center, the food and the company of friends is hard to beat. Thanksgiving is a time to contemplate all the wonderful things that comes from living in Panguitch. Thanks to all of those that made this dinner possible. The following was about why we are so thankful. I am Thankful for the wife who says it's hot dogs tonight, because she is home with me. I am Thankful for the husband who is a couch potato because he is home with me. I am Thankful for the teenager who is complaining about doing the dishes because it means that she is not on the street. I am Thankful for the taxes I pay because it means I have a good retirement income. I am Thankful for my shadow that watches me work because it means that I am out in the sunshine.

Christmas in the Country is next on your list of things to do. Santa will be at the Social Hall on Dec. 6th at 10:00 AM. He will have lots of gifts for the kiddies and there will be treats for all. Bring your children and camera, these are Kodak moments. In the afternoon is the merchant drawing at 1:00 followed by the Christmas home tour, come on out and see some great Christmas decorated homes. Many of the businesses are closed for the winter, but most of the businesses reported records sales, or bookings in the motels. Many of the motels have gone into the computer age, with many of the reservations done on line. However with the internet you can also get comments about the conditions of the rooms,
how the customers were treated and prices of the rooms. If you are looking for Christmas gifts some of the stores are still open, The Shed has all kinds of sporting goods, if you want to decorate your home with outdoor stuff, and they have a lot of antlers. The Cowboy Collectables are open with many wonderful gifts. I haven’t been in the Thrift shop lately but it has never looked so good. They have many really good, like-new clothing items and it is a fun place to come in and shop. The volunteers do a bang up job taking care of the store; some of the volunteers have been there since it opened. Do your Christmas shopping at home, you will keep the money in Town. If someone needs help with Christmas gifts this year contact Pat Oetting at 6762418, she has forms to fill out and will help where she can. This Sub for Santa project has been around for quite some time. In addition to toys, clothing, shoes and coats are a possibility. Please don’t ask “Toys for Tots” to give you toys if Sub for Santa has your “toy” list. The Country has come a long ways in the last 5 ½ years. We were in two wars, unemployment was at 11% and the Stock Market was at
5,600. The Market is closing in on 18,000 and this week unemployment has fallen to 5.9%. There are 4 ½ million job openings that are calling. In our area Barney Trucking still needs drivers; UPS is also looking for all kinds of seasonal positions, from line drivers to dock loaders. UPS is Union and you can expect top wages. From 2000 to 2008 we saw the illegal immigrants rise from 8 million to 12 million, the last 5 years 2 million have been deported. The President has earned the title of deporter in chief. Also our dollar is the strongest it has been in 12 years. If you or someone that you know can use some help in paying your utility bill, now is the time to apply for some relief from H.E.A.T Applications are being accepted and appointments will be made for Garfield Co. from Nov. 2014 to April 2015.

Cowgirls of Panguitch ing and Pole Bending are her favorite events and the ones in which she racks up the most points, although she'll slow down enough to compete in a Trail Course too. The Trail Course combines the skills of both horse and rider in negotiating obstacles in the shortest time possible. The standard Senior Girls course calls on the horseback contestant to cross a bridge; open, ride through and close a gate; ride up to and place mail in a mailbox; back up between two barrels and negotiate a jump. It is a timed event so although they're not going at break-neck speed, they are still on the clock. Kailey's goals are to make it to the High School Finals and later

Following in her sister Noelle's footsteps (Noelle was the National Little Britches Rodeo Queen for 2013), Lindsie's goal is to become Miss Rodeo America someday. For the uninitiated, this is not a fluff competition. Contestants must demonstrate excellent horsemanship, not only racking up points in rodeo events, but taking a horse---not their own--and putting it through a series of challenges. Added to this, of course, are such things as modeling, speech, appearance and personality. Well on her way to her goal, Lindsie was a Little Britches National Princess in 2012 and is currently rated #186 nationally in the All- Around Senior Girls Division.

The cowgirls of Panguitch are an awesome bunch of young women. Riding every day, after school during the week and at competitions on week-ends, they work incredibly hard to perfect their skills and keep their horses in top condition. All are members of the National Little Britches Rodeo Association (NLBRA) and compete state-wide for points to qualify for the National Little Britches Finals, which are held every July in Pueblo, Colorado. The girls that are in high school also compete in high school rodeo competitions. Cherish Moore, at 17, has been riding since she was three years old. On her grulla gelding, Wilford, she has qualified twice to go to the Finals, once to compete in Barrel Racing and Trail, and once in Breakaway and Pole Bending. Cherish's favorite competition is Breakaway Roping and Breakaway Roping is not for sissies. It is the fastest event in rodeo and has the stats to prove it. Depending on the arena, top breakaway ropers routinely record times under the threesecond mark. The roper starts in the right-hand box behind a barrier that is designed to give the calf a head start. Leaving the box too soon adds ten seconds to the contestant’s time. When the roper calls for the calf, he or she chases it down the arena and attempts to rope it around the neck with a rope that is attached to the saddle horn with a thin piece of string. Once the catch is made, the contestant simply turns loose of the rope and stops the horse. Time is taken when the calf pulls the rope loose from the saddle horn. From over 500 Senior Girls in Little Britches, Cherish is currently rated #161 in the nation for Senior Girls All-Around points, the majority of which come from Breakaway Roping. Lindsie Perkins, at 15, says she's been riding since she could walk. She currently rides

Allie Beckstead, at 11, is a member of the Junior Girls Division of the Little Britches Rodeo Association. Riding since she was two years old, she currently rides a big black 19 year old gelding named Bear. Before she started riding him, however, she had another horse that took her to the Finals in 2011 and at eight years old, she placed 4th in the World! In 2013 she again made it to the Finals and placed in the top 15 in her Division. Allie has concentrated on running barrels in the past but is now working on adding Pole-bending to her repertoire. She said her goal is to be a Champion Barrel Racer and it looks like she's already well on her way to making that dream a reality. One of the most impressive things about meeting and talking with these five young women is the total commitment they have to their sport. Riding every day, year-round, in order to be competitive takes serious work and dedication. It is also a tribute to their parents in the support they give every day of the year to over-see that the girls, their horses and equipment are all in top condition and ready to go. All of the girls acknowledged their parents as their primary horse trainers and lesson-givers. In addition to that, and their own jobs, these dedicated parents haul the horses and girls to the Triple C Arena every afternoon after school and haul them to competitions all over the state on week-ends. Sonni Beckstead, Allie's and Bailee's mother, said there wasn't anything better for her kids' mental and physical health than having them outside working and playing hard every day, and in the process, learning to take responsibility for themselves and their horses.
