New Crop of Eagle Scouts Earn Scouting’s Highest Honor Another Great Eagle Scout Court of Honor
PANGUITCH - Four Panguitch Boy Scouts celebrated the Thanksgiving Holiday last Saturday evening by thanking their scout leaders, parents, other family members, and friends for helping them earn Boy Scouts of America’s highest youth award, the coveted Eagle Scout Rank. Ethen Armstrong, Trey Barney, Hunter Hughes, and Trenton Stowe now join with four other scouts in unit 681, sponsored by the Panguitch 3rd Ward, to earn the Eagle Rank this year. Uriel Zubia and Joseph Vasquez previously were awarded their pins. Jory Owens and Tyler Roundy have earned the rank, but are yet to receive their awards. Konner Hughes and Jaren Frandsen also received the Life Rank, and Chasyn Campbell and Christopher Parkin earned the Star Rank. Several scouts were presented a bunch of merit badges. Ethen, Trey and Trenton are all new 14 year olds in the 8th grade at Panguitch Middle School. Hunter just turned 16 and is in the 9th grade. Ethen is the son of Tracy and Lynn Armstrong. For his Eagle Project he made a bunch of birdhouses to be place by the USFS. Trey is the son of Clint and Melissa Barney. His Eagle project was placing signs at the Panguitch Cemetery to help locate gravesites. Hunter placed signs at the Panguitch Gun Range for his Eagle Project. His parents are Dane Hughes and Shannon Hatch. Trenton’s Eagle Project involved helping organize and equip youth for a bike rodeo. He is the son of Brain and Cristy Stowe. Brian Bremner challenged each boy with the Eagle Charge to now live their lives as explained in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Each scout was then presented the Eagle Rank by his father, assisted by his mother. These young men are great examples for all in our community. As they continue to live the ideals of scouting, their futures look bright. —Norm McKee

SALT LAKE CITY Utah Gov. Gary Herbert and the Utah Department of Natural Resources are pleased to announce the selection of Greg Sheehan as the new director of the Division of Wildlife Resources. Sheehan, a department employee with 20 years’ experience, has been the DWR’s Administrative Services chief since 2002. He has served in key advisory and administrative roles for some of the agency’s most notable successes: * Enhancing more than 1 million acres of important wildlife habitat through the Watershed Restoration Initiative. * Boosting fish hatchery production to more than 1.1 million pounds per year by rebuilding and improving hatcheries. * Expanding access for Utah’s sportsmen and women through new community fisheries, the Walk-in Access program and an access agreement with Utah’s School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA). A new perspective Sheehan has served as a leader within the DWR for the past decade. He was selected after a nationwide search and an extensive interview process. “Greg brings a business background to the position,” says Mike Styler, executive director of the Utah Department of Natural Resources. “But he’s much more than an MBA. I’ve been in the field with him, and he’s truly committed to a bright future for Utah’s wildlife. Greg will bring a new and different

New Lake Powell Personal Watercraft Regulations to Take Effect
PAGE, AZ – A new Personal Watercraft (PWC) regulation will go into effect on January 1, 2013 which requires PWC operating on Lake Powell to meet 2006 emission standards established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The NPS delayed implementation of this regulation for ten years to minimize impacts to PWC owners and provide time for people to plan for this new requirement. “We are actively reaching out to the boating pub-
lic about this change and will take the opportunity next summer to continue to educate park visitors on Lake Powell,” said Superintendent Todd Brindle. In recognition of the need to protect park resources while supporting the recreational interests of visitors, the National Park Service (NPS) signed a Record of Decision on June 27, 2003 allowing PWC use to continue under a special regulation with additional management requirements. One of the requirements, codified in 36 CFR

Local First!

Remember, some of the BEST holiday shopping opportunities are available nearby. Last Thursday, a long line of Escalante shoppers camped out overnight to catch the unprecedented bargains offered during the Black Friday sale at Skyhoopi Thrift Store. (At least, they claimed that they did). Be sure to check local stores for quality holiday gift items and bargains in your area.
After December 31, 2012, no one may operate a PWC that does not meet the 2006 emission standards set by EPA for the manufacturing of two-stroke engines. A person operating a PWC that meets the EPA 2006 emission standards through the use of direct injection two-stroke or four-stroke engines, or the equivalent thereof, is not subject to this prohibition and will be allowed to operate as described in this section.
36 CFR § 3.9(a) allows PWC use only in national park areas where authorized by special regulation. Glen Canyon began a planning effort in 2002 to determine whether PWC was an appropriate use. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was prepared to evaluate whether to allow, restrict or discontinue PWC use. The EIS examined three management alternatives and included an analysis of how each alternative affected visitor safety, visitor experience, water quality, air quality, soundscapes, wildlife, park resources and park operations. Several opportunities for public involvement were provided during the planning process, with over 30,000 comments received.

Kane County’s Heaton Family Receives 2012 Leopold Conservation Award SANDY – Sand County Foundation, the Utah Farm Bureau Federation, the Utah Cattlemen’s Association, Trout Unlimited and Western AgCredit are pleased to name the Heaton Ranch as the recipient of the 2012 Leopold Conservation Award. “The Heatons have made conservation a family tradition,” said Brent Haglund, Sand County Foundation President. “Through adaptive management techniques, innovation and outreach, the Heaton family are going a long way to ensure that the agricultural operation and its natural resources will, not only endure, but thrive for future generations.” The Leopold Conservation Award, named in honor of world-renowned conservationist Aldo Leopold, is comprised of $10,000 and a Leopold crystal. The award is presented annually in eight states to private landowners who practice responsible land stewardship and management. The other 2012 finalists, listed were Junior Goring of Box Elder County and H.A. Farms (Dennis Stowell family) of Iron County. The Heaton Ranch, located in Alton, Utah, is family owned and operated by Karl and Raymond Heaton – first cousins. The ranch’s 140,000+ private and federal acres sup-
port abundant wildlife populations – including sage grouse and a premier trophy mule deer herd – and 1,250 head of cattle. Each fall, the ranchers trail cattle 100 miles to the south and graze on winter forage on the Arizona Strip – the area of land north of the Colorado River and Grand Canyon in Arizona. “These cattle pay for all the conservation work we do. Conservation is a top priority for us, and we recognize that’s what’s kept us in business today,” said Karl Heaton. “They’d like to put summer homes out here, but we’re maintaining open spaces. We’re an agriculture ranch and that’s how we want to keep it.” Beef production is the mainstay of the Heaton ranch, and sustainability is critical. The Heatons proactively implement restoration activities on their private ranch land and federal grazing allotments, including such projects as irrigation and livestock water development, fencing, grazing management, pinion/juniper and shrub removal, reseeding and more. The family also operates an outfitting business and takes “Dudes” along with them on their cattle drives, to give those unfamiliar with agriculture a taste of what it takes to raise cattle as well as the care
the animals receive. The cattle drive was recently featured on an episode of the PBS show America’s Heartland, which can be seen at http://www. americasheartland.org/episodes/episode_611/index.htm. The Heatons were presented the Leopold Conservation Award at the Utah Farm Bureau Convention in Layton, last Friday. “We are very excited to present this award on behalf of the farmers and ranchers of Utah,” Leland Hogan said. “This award, however, is great for all of Utah because the recognition and funding helps to preserve and enhance our open space. Utah’s farmers and ranchers have a long history of land preservation and a deep commitment to preserving Utah’s natural resources. As stewards of the land we want to ensure that history continues well into the future.” The Leopold Conservation Award in Utah is made possible through the generous support of Western AgCredit, Utah Farm Bureau Federation, the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Trout Unlimited, Utah Association of Conservation Districts (UACD) and Ag Credit. —Utah Farm Bureau
New Fallen Officer Memorial Placed on Hwy 89
WGCI photo
GARFIELD CO. - A new memorial to officers Ray Lynn Pierson and Monte Luke has been placed on Hwy 89 at the junction of Hwy 20, just across the road from its previous location. Chad McWilliams of the The Utah Highway Patrol Association, the group that placed the memorial, said that the new memorial was installed on November 3, and is among 15 memorials throughout Utah that they are working to replace following a court ruling that called for their removal from state lands. Private lands have been secured for each of the new memorial sites, and so far nine replacements have been made, all through the support of private donations. —Insider Report
Secretary Salazar Joins U.S. and Mexico Delegations for Historic Colorado River Water Agreement Ceremony SAN DIEGO, Calif. – Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar joined U.S. and Mexico delegations in San Diego, California, on November 20 at an official signing ceremony of Minute 319 to the 1944 Treaty with Mexico – an historic binational agreement to guide future management of the Colorado River through 2017. The agreement was developed and facilitated by the U.S. and Mexico Sections of the International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC). “The Colorado River is the lifeblood of local communities from the peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park to the mouth at the Sea of Cortez, supplying water for millions of Americans, irrigating our farms, and helping to power our cities and towns,” said Salazar. “The Department of the Interior recognizes the many challenges facing the Colorado River, and this binational agreement demonstrates our shared commitment to cooperation and partnership to protect and promote its future.” As part of the ongoing dialogue on Colorado River issues, delegations from the United States and Mexico have been working over the past three years to reach an agreement on a set of cooperative measures for management for the next five years. Salazar joined principals to the agreement from the seven Colorado River Basin states, representatives from the U.S. Depart-
ment of State and the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. IBWC Commissioner Edward Drusina, Mexico IBWC Commissioner Roberto F. Salmon, and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation Commissioner Michael L. Connor to commemorate the effort. “After years of discussions, Minute 319 demonstrates our common commitment and the potential opportunities for future cooperation between the United States and Mexico on water conservation, system operations, environmental restoration, and new water sources projects,” said Commissioner Connor. “Today’s action builds on our past collaborative efforts and is a true testament to the power of patience and persistence.” The five-year agreement approved by both governments provides for a series of joint cooperative actions between the United States and Mexico. Elements of the agreement include: Implementing efforts to enhance water infrastructure and promote sharing, storing, and conserving water as needed during both shortages and surpluses; Establishing proactive basin operations by applying water delivery reductions when Lake Mead resorvoir conditions are low in order to deter more severe reductions in the future; Extending humanitarian measures from a 2010 agree-

ment, Minute 318, to allow Mexico to defer delivery of a portion of its Colorado River allotment while it continues to make repairs to earthquakedamaged infrastructure; Establishing a program of Intentionally Created Mexican Allocation (ICMA) whereby Mexico could temporarily reduce its order of Colorado River water, allowing that water to be delivered to Mexico in the future; and Promoting the ecological health of the Colorado River Delta. Signed by all parties today, Minute 319 becomes effective immediately. Many of the projects and programs outlined in the agreement will be implemented through the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Region. The Lower Colorado Region manages the final 688 miles of the Colorado River on behalf of the Secretary of the Interior. —U.S. Dept. of the Interior

Christmas Tree Permits Available on Forest Service and BLM Lands
ST\. GEORGE - Many of today’s families still relish the age-old tradition of roaming the hills together on a cold winter’s day in search of a unique, naturally grown Christmas Tree. The Bureau of Land Management and US Forest Service are offering permits to harvest Christmas trees from November 5, 2012 through December 25, 2012. Permits enable holders to cut personal-use trees on lands managed by the BLM and the Forest Service in the following areas; Arizona Strip District Bureau of Land Management ($5 per permit) St. George Field Office, Bureau of Land Management ($10 per permit) Dixie National Forest ($10 for trees from 1-10 feet high/$20 for trees 11-20 feet high) A permit is required for the harvest of each individual tree. The tree tag is validated by attaching it securely to the tree in a visible location and cutting out the date, month, and year. Permit are only good
for the land agency in which the tag was purchased. The Dixie National Forest is also offering to mail out permits purchased online to the public. Please allow 3-5 business days for receipt. Important Note: Christmas tree harvest is not allowed in wilderness areas, campgrounds, developed recreation areas, National Monuments, Research Natural Areas, Areas of Critical Environmental Concern, or posted tree plantations, within 200 feet of state highways or on private lands. Permit holders can easily avoid non-permitted areas by carrying their tree permit and map with them, along with the appropriate Forest Service or BLM map which can be obtained along with a permit purchased at the Interagency Visitor Center at 345 East Riverside Drive, St. George, Utah 84790. More information can also be obtained by calling 435-688-3200 or by visiting the following website: https://www.d-asia.org/ —U.S. Forest Service
riders in a “55 Pontiac named “Love Me Tender.” But for the trip to Farivew, hosts James Nelson and Gena Persinger take a different vehicle, an SUV, appropriate for travel in mountains and snow, should they encounter any. Fairvew-at 6,000 feet elevation-is an entrance to the mountains of the Manti-LaSal National Forest- reaching up to 11,000 feet-and the famed Skyline Drive. The Drive is part of the Great Western Trail, a nearly 4,500-mile trail system forming a continuous motorized and non-motorized corridor which traverses five states from the U.S.-Canada border to the U.S.-Mexico. But that’s not what our hosts go to Fairview to see. As Persinger picks up Nelson for this episode’s journey, she tells him she’s on a mission to uncover a few stories she’s been asked about as the show’s co-host-namely, more about the area’s pioneers, its ghost towns, and controversial historical figure John D. Lee. Nelson knows where to find answers: The Fairview Museum of History and Art. The Fairvew Museum offers them a wealth of information about Sanpete’s past. They see many artifacts, art, pictures and other information that illustrate the pioneer, frontier heritage of the area — just what they came to see. (While they focus on Sanpete’s recent past, the museum’s main attraction—one not featured in the episode — is the full-scale replica of the skeleton of a Columbian Mammoth found just a few miles away in Huntingon Canyon, very close to Skyline Drive. It is the most complete such skeleton — 95 percent intact—of any found in the Intermountain West.) “Fairview Museum has thousands of artifacts, stories and displays for the visitor to enjoy,” says Nelson, who is the show’s producer as well.
“Our road show brings the countless stories, culture and heritage of U.S. 89 forward. Snow College makes sure they have a permanent home and that young people find interest in the past,” Nelson says. Some of those stories appear in another MPNHA- produced video, “Stories from Highway 89 and the Boulder Loop.” (The Boulder Loop is comprised of All-American Road State Route 12 and Scenic Byway State Route, also in the MPNHA). The video has segments on the very things Persinger and Nelson set out to discover—pioneers, ghost towns and John D. Lee, the man convicted and executing for allegedly masterminding the Mountain Meadows Massacre of 120 non-Mormon pioneers in 1857.
“‘Stories from Highway 89 and the Boulder Loop’ is a marvelous collection of television stories we are excited to reprise in our Discovery Road broadcast,” Nelson says. “It’s like opening up a book about the old west, and this time we had a front-row seat to the mystery and inspiration on screen.” MPNHA Director Bona says, given the time of year, the video could make an excellent Christmas gift for the right person. It can be ordered by calling 801-699-5065 or sending an email to montebona@ hotmail.com. —MPNHA

How to Get a Job You Love in the New Year
The New Year is the perfect time to evaluate your career and take control of your professional life. Doing so may be easier than you think in today’s economy, where one-third of the American workforce is now comprised of freelancers. Experts say self-employed, independent workers have gone mainstream and are here to stay. “From computer programmers and nannies to opera singers and anesthesiologists, nearly every industry is now employing freelancers,” says Sara Horowitz, founder of the Freelancers Union and author of the new handbook, “The Freelancer’s Bible.” Horowitz contends that with some planning and research, a freelancer can survive and thrive in the new economy. To help, Horowitz founded the Freelancer’s Union to empower this growing independent sector with solutions for affordable health care and retirement planning. There are several things that can help you become a more nimble, flexible and successful freelancer: • Tell everyone: Sometimes gigs drop in your lap, but mostly they come from connecting and sharing with others. Remember that everything is a marketing opportunity. • Stay positive: In many ways, having multiple sources of income and multiple moneymaking skills is less risky than putting all your eggs in an employer’s basket. So don’t think of freelancing as volatile and risky, so much as flexible and opportunity-rich. • Balance risks and rewards: Weigh how much time and energy you should invest in various projects and be open to changing the mix depending on the work market and your income needs. • Negotiate: Negotiating a contract isn’t about displaying bravado. It’s about knowing your power relationship with the client. Get informed by learning your industry’s deal norms, the market’s needs and your market value. Get training, find markets with bigger budgets or gain more experiences until you can be rewarded with higher pay. • Get a life: Employees get vacation time, sick leave, family leave, bereavement days and personal days. Those policies exist largely because workers advocated for them. Who advocates for you? Without a 9-5 schedule, it’s easy to forget you have a life outside of your work. Be sure to schedule breaks and vacations and budget for time off. More practical tips on living the freelance life can be found at the Freelancer’s Union website at www.freelancersunion.org. More information on Horowitz’s new book can be found at www.workman.com. —Statepoint

Loa Elementary Snippets by Lisa Stevens Bubble gum, bubble gum, in a dish; teach me to blow a bubble if you wish. Mrs. Stacie Ekker’s fourth grade class has been busy writing directions about how to blow a bubble with chewing gum. Here are a few examples; Lyndee: First you go to any grocery DATES TO REMEMBER…! store, and look for the package that says • Nov 30- (F) Midterm bubble gum on it. Buy it and take it home. • Dec 21- (F) Minimum Day Second unwrap package and chew the pink • Dec 24-Jan 1 CHRISTMAS VACATION sugary goodness and then when it is softened up, chew it a few min., and then stretch the gum with your teeth and your tongue. Attach the gum to your tongue. Next inhale then exhale and blow, Walla you made your own bubble! Paxton: First unwrap a piece of bubble gum and enjoy the sweet sweet smell of cotton candy. Then put it in your mouth and chew it all up till it’s soft and chewy. When it’s all soft and chewy put it around your tongue. After it’s around your tongue take a deep breath and blow. If you blow a bubble congratulations but if you didn’t keep trying. After you blow a bubble chew it all up again and put it around your tongue and take a deep breath and blow! Have fun blowing big pink bubbles. Riley: First you buy some yummy gum. Second you unwrap, while smelling the sugary delicious smell. Then you put the pink gum in your mouth until chewy. Make a round shape with tongue. Leave hole inside so you can blow, stick edges to teeth, BLOW! Slowly but steadily. But, not to hard or it will pop on your face. Blake: First you need to buy a flavored package of bubble gum. Take the gum home after you buy it. Third of all, unwrap the gum. Next pop it in your mouth. Afterward chomp until soft. Last, but not least push your tongue through and blow. Mrs. Ekker has been given some great news this month! She applied for and just received a grant for her class, “The grant is for an internet based program that will help my students become more fluent with their math facts.” Said Mrs. Ekker, “The program adapts itself to each individual student so they are better able to learn the facts they need to learn and not spend time learning facts that they already know. We are going to be starting this program next week sometime.” Along with Mrs. Ekker’s class the grant allows for one other class to use the program; which means Mrs. Barlow’s class will get an opportunity to use this program as well. Way to go Mrs. Ekker! Mr. Ellett’s fifth grade class is currently in the beginning stages of a long term writing project. The students are working on a creative story to enter into the annual Farm Bureau Essay contest. This years theme is From Farm to Fork, “This contest has great county and state rewards for well done stories.” said Mr. Ellett. The fifth grades are also teaming up with Mrs. Brinkerhoff’s first grade for 15 minutes, four days aweek, and reading together, “The students from both classes are really enjoying sharing stories with each other.” Mr. Ellett would also like to thank the parents for all they do to help support Loa Elementary, “We had a great Halloween Carnival and Book Fair. The year seems to be going very fast, it is almost mid-term of the second quarter, we still have lots to do but we are having a good year. Thanks again!”

Whitni Syrett of Bryce Valley High School and Justin Wright of Monticello High School will now go on to compete for the national award that celebrates their hard work, dedication and exceptional records in athletics, academics and community leadership. Colleges want well rounded students and with admissions growing more selective, a national award like the Wendy’s High School Heisman can really help students stand out.” said Archie Griffin, two time collegiate Heisman Trophy winner. Whitni and Justin are inspirations to others in their school and community, and we are honored to welcome them into the Heisman family. Syrett and Wright were chosen from among 45,000 aplicants, surviving rounds that narrowed contenders to one male and one famile winner from each school, and then to Utah’s group of 20 State finalists. —The Deseret News Whitni is the daughter of Brady and Shawnee Syrett of Tropic and the granddaughter of Mondell and Florence Syrett of Tropic and Gib and Shan Clark of Kanab.

Every1Counts By Cynthia Kimball In church recently, a woman spoke how she felt church leader, Thomas S. Monson, is a rescuer. That through stories he tells he often humbly speaks of someone being rescued. It got me thinking that we’ve probably all been rescued at one time or another. We’ve also likely rescued someone. Isn’t that cool? Someone actually may have saved your life or vice-versa. I often think of buying an orange life jacket and placing it in the passenger seat of my car solely just to remind me that at every given moment someone needs to be rescued. I think it’s easy to get caught up in the world and forget that others are hurting and in need. And now with the holiday season upon us, time can often zoom by; and before we know it, the new year is here. Yet, since we mostly communicate through body language, let’s, during this holiday season and all throughout the year actually, be on the lookout for someone who needs to be rescued. For example, one sister was crying in church one time and another sister went over and hugged her. And even though the sister continued to cry, I could tell she felt better. I’ve even received notes
tHe lAuGhiNg pOiNt!!
Be a Rescuer
left on my windshield before. No, not tickets, actual notes with something kind written on them. It’s a great feeling to receive one and to read what’s written. Try that sometime. One thing I like to do is remember names. So when I’m out and about shopping for instance, I work to learn an employee’s name. For instance, I might say, “Jane, thank you so much for being so kind to me,” or, “Jane, I really appreciate you working over this holiday so that people like me can get the things I need” as I’m checking out in a grocery store line. Often times I find, that when someone hears their name, it’s like you just told them they won a lottery. After all, most people just want to be acknowledged. They want to know they are of value and worth. They want to know they matter and that someone cares. One way to remember someone’s name is to text their name to yourself along with something that reminds you of them. I love that Mother Teresa quote, “Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.” A person drowning in water or not being thrown
a life vest is gonna be pretty happy you did that, don’t you think? Decide today to be a rescuer. It’s a matter of life and death.

How to Cook Next Year’s Turkey Frozen Turkeys
A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store, but couldn’t find one big enough for her family. She asked a stock boy, “Do these turkeys get any bigger?” The stock boy replied, “No ma’am, they’re dead.”
An Irish Toast
A guy raises his glass and toasts his girlfriend. “May you be in Heaven a half-hour before the devil knows you’re dead!” “What’s that mean?” “That is an authentic Irish toast.” “Oh. In that case, here’s to bread, eggs and cinnamon.” “Bread, eggs and cinnamon? What’s that?” “That’s French toast.”

Gasoline Tank
On my first day working at the gas station, I watched a senior co-worker measure the level of gasoline in the underground tanks by lowering a giant measuring stick down into them. “What would happen if I threw a lit match into the hole?” I joked. “It would go out,” he replied in a very factual manner. “Really?” I asked, surprised to hear that. “Is there a lack of oxygen down there or some safety device that would extinguish it before the fumes ignited?” “No, the force from the explosion would blow out the match.”

Celebrating Marriage Date Night WAYNE CO. - The Wayne County Date Night was recently held at the Sunglow Restaurant. After enjoying a delicious meal the couples listened to a short presentation on how they can use the tool of forgiveness to keep their marital gardens weed free. Couples were encouraged to take care of marital weeds quickly and not wait until they become overwhelming. They were also taught that choosing not to forgive is like choosing to hang on to a hot rock that has been handed to you. The longer you hang on to it, the longer you will be burned by it. Steps were laid out on how we can forgive and drop the hot rocks in our marriage. On December 1st the Wayne County Extension will sponsor the next date night. The event will be held at the Best Western in Torrey and will start at 7:00pm The cost of the dinner is only $5.00 per person. After dinner we will have a short educational and entertaining presentation on how to make happily ever after become a reality in your marriage. Once again we will have some wonderful door prizes including a one night stay at the Broken Spur Inn. Please contact Gaelynn Peterson at 435-836-1313 or email her at gaelynn.peterson@usu.edu to reserve your spots for the $10.00 per couple dinner. If you decide to come at the last minute without reserving a spot we would love to have you but if there is not enough food you may have to order off the menu at the regular price. —GaeLynn Peterson
“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 musicians, students, athletes, single mothers, animal sanctuaries, religious affiliations or any other charitable organization for generations to come.

TORREY News Adus Dorsey You couldn’t go anywhere in Torrey Town on Thanksgiving Day that there wasn’t the smell of food wafting from windows and doors. The sweet smell of buttered rolls, homemade pies, dumplings, sweet potatoes and spicy stuffing drifted through the crisp morning air and created memories of Mom standing in the kitchen with her apron on and flour on her face. In an attempt to take in the full effect of Thanksgiving 2012 I made the rounds to the homes of some of my favorite Wayne County folks where I know food and family play an important role in their lives. Homes where I have spent countless hours sitting on worn cushioned couches or in a creaking rocking chair that have a thousand stories of their own, listening to and recording family histories and stories of happiness and hardships. The humble abodes of old folks that can meticulously recount names and memories from long ago that have influenced their lives and the lives of others in Wayne County, even to this present day. My first Thanksgiving Day stop was in Teasdale at Guy and Barbra Pace’s. I had in hand a Capitol Reef National Park (CRNP) oral history of Max Robinson for Grand Ma Pace (Barbra) to read to Guy on Thanksgivings day. Previously I had delivered two CRNP Guy Pace oral history interviews from 1991 and 2000, one by Brad Frye and the other by Steve Allen. Walking up the well-traveled carport steps to the backdoor of Guy Pace’s house I immediately sensed Grand Ma Pace had something special cooking in the oven, I could smell it through the cracks in the door. When Grand Ma Pace answered my knock and opened the door I was not disappointed, not by a long shot. The kitchen smells nearly blasted me off the steps and I nearly forgot what my visit was all about, all I could think about was what was slowly cooking in the oven that has surely cooked a million meals, an oven that will someday be enshrined at the Smithsonian Institute of culinary arts or as a prominent statue at the Teasdale Park.
Pictured: Gramps Guy Pace What nearly knocked me off the porch was the smell of Grand Ma’s Steamed Pudding an old family recipe of her Grand Ma’s. There were so many ingredients that my head was swirling and my smell senses were overloaded, the ingredients I could immediately identify were grated apples, raisins, dates and a topping sauce, combined together and simmering on the stove my salivary glands went into high gear. Two days later and I could still smell the sweet aroma of Steamed pudding on my clothes. Gramps (Guy Pace) is and always has been a stalwart individual in Wayne County. Like many of his Wayne County cohorts the likes of the infamous Jack King, the ever vocal Charlie (Tuna) Torgerson, the Fremont River troubadour Perry Jackson, Dwight Williams, Dunk Taylor, Max Robinson, Boyd Black and many others that did not and do not mince words when it comes to telling you like it is or the way things were. Unlike Jack King in his Dickey denim overalls and commanding presence,
Adus Dorsey
Gramps (Guy Pace) has always been subtle in his approach. For a 1980 relative newcomer to the area and a forever Wayne County outsider it only took a few sentences from Gramps to put me in my place and let me know just where the bear shits in the woods. Some of Gramps first words of wisdom to me were and are just as important as if they had come from Elias Hicks Blackburn or Brigham Young himself. And what has always impressed me the most is that even though Gramps eye sight is now failing Gramps hearing is not, and not once has Gramps ever forgotten who I am or my voice when I visit, and on my visits he consistently reminds me of where the bear shits in the woods. For those in Garfield County that do not know Gramps (Guy Pace), he is Wayne County’s elder version of Boulder Town’s Dell LeFevre. Like the infamous Dell LeFevre there have been days Gramps could sit all day long and tell long winded wild-west stories of early Wayne County that would make the Louis L’Amour southwest cowboys
stories seem like an pony ride at the local county fair. Guy and Barbra Pace’s legacy is larger than the majestic cottonwood trees that line Torrey’s Main Street. A dinner at Grand Ma Barbra Pace’s noon table is nothing short of a culinary master piece, a culinary feat that has yet to be or ever can be recreated in any western American cookbook. When the Guy Pace family gathers around Grand Ma’s dinner table, it is to eat, if you are or ever have been lucky enough to be invited to experience such a dinner event at Grand Ma Pace’s table it is something you will never forget. The dinner (lunch) event is as traumatizing as anything you will ever experience. Once everyone is seated around the dinner table that has seen a million meals the feeding frenzy begins. Adequately armed with dinner tools, sharp knives, pointed forks and spoons the size of a shovel, Dicky, Philly, Dougy, Mark and the farm hands would make short work of Grand Ma’s morning cooking endeavors. As a happy resident of Wayne County one of the things I am most thankful for this Thanksgiving and Holiday season is Barbra (Grand Ma) Pace. To my knowledge Grand Ma and Guy Pace have always made everyone feel right at home in their Teasdale home. The Pace’s backdoor has always been swung wide open to everyone when knocked upon. When present Grand Ma (Barbra Pace) has graciously made sure there is a special place at her table when there was food to be served for all to enjoy. No matter what time of year it was, when I had the wonderful opportunity to attend dinner at the Pace’s it was always like Thanksgiving Day dinner at Grand Ma Barbra Pace’s house. Our past personal histories are inherently important, they often times define who we are and why we think and act the way we do. We all have come from somewhere else and we all have a story to tell. When we intimately take the time to personally share our life story with one other we often times realize we have much in common with each other.

OBITUARIES
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Hope you had a good Thanksgiving weekend. Many thanks to all of those that helped out at the Lions Clubsponsored Thanksgiving dinner. We fed close to 70 with some really, really good food and many were able to take home the best part, leftovers. The Crump’s, Irish’s, Langley’s, Olsen’s and Bob Smith all lent a hand in making this meal something to enjoy and give thanks for all that we have. The Frank Houston’s dinner had over 50 in attendance; Frank said that this was the first time in many years that all 7 of their kids and their families were home. Our Granddaughter Teah came in from school in Seattle and we had a great visit. Grandchildren are what makes life all worth while. Teah said that her friend Jennifer Perkins was visited by her parents Danny and Michele in St. Louis and she had a lot of things planned for them. Hailey Sawyer came down from Ft. Defiance to join up with them over the Holidays. With an extra week in November, maybe it would be a good time to put up your Christmas lights. Boy there are a lot of homes already with their exterior lights up and looking good. Next week there are a couple of events going on.. Sunday is the LDS Church’s Christmas devotional. This is a Christmas Program that starts the Christmas Season on a high note.On Monday night the Panguitch Lions Club will have their annual Christmas fest and it will be at the Senior Center at 6:30. On Tuesday night, Panguitch’s First Ward will have their Christmas dinner at the Stake Center. Ward Members are encouraged to bring friends and neighbors to take part in the fun. I heard that Santa might make an appearance. Saturday Dec. 8th will be “Christmas in the Country”. It
will start off with Santa making his list at the Social Hall, at 10:00 in the morning. Santa’s helper will have Sub for Santa applications for you to fill out. Santa will then be off to the Care Center to drop a few gifts for the residence that are there. At 1:00 there will be the Merchants drawing with all kinds of great prizes. There will be three drawing this year, so make sure that you get your tickets, when you make your local purchases. Pat says that “going without chocolate for seven days makes one weak.” This year instead of a home tour, to raise money for Sub for Santa, there will be a Chocolate Fest at the Social Hall, starting at 6:00 pm. There will all kinds of goodies to load up on. Christmas entertainment will be supplied and it will be a fun evening. . For all of the curious, that are wondering what is going on at Main and Center, I got the hot scoop. I talked to a UDOT employee, who told me that the solar batteries that run the stop lights have given out. The cost of the batteries runs $11,000 and when they went out, they were hooked up to the street light. UDOT has been digging up the street and running conduit to make a permanent connection. UDOT has run enough conduits, so if there is ever a need for a signal they won’t have to dig up the street again. Anyway they should be finished shortly with this project. Good news, the two Highway Patrol Crosses are back up again and better than ever. They are on the east side of 89, on private property. The State Beehive insignia has been replaced with a UHP emblems and a flag has been placed along side them. God bless these two Trooper’s families and a special thank you to the person that donated the land to make this tribute possible. Tis the Season of Good Will. Mack O.

Modern and Contemporary Works from the Utah State Fine Art Collection
LeConte Stewart, “The Blue Mountain,” 1962, is among works on display at Salt Lake City’s Alice Gallery. SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Arts & Museums announces the opening of the exhibition “The Last Fifty: Modern and Contemporary Works from the Utah State Fine Art Collection” in the Alice Merrill Horne Gallery, located inside the Glendinning Mansion. The show runs from November 26, 2012 to February 8, 2013, and gallery hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. The Glendinning Mansion is located at 617 E. South Temple in Salt Lake City. “The Last Fifty” is a selection of works by Utah artists from 1962 to the present. Although there is a chronological sequence apparent in the exhibition, the scope of practice is wide and varied. “Included in this exhibition are traditional natural and urban landscapes by LeConte Stewart and Richard J. Van Wagoner,” noted Margaret Hunt, Director of Utah Arts & Museums. “These pieces contrast with works influenced by modernist movements — abstract expressionism, geometric abstraction, minimalism — in the work of Lee Deffebach, Edward Maryon and Anna Campbell Bliss.” The last quarter of the 20th century includes a range of Utah artists that address contemporary themes of place, spirituality, identity and environment. A subset of works from this exhibition will then travel to a variety of venues around Utah as part of the Traveling Exhibition Program. Details can be found at http:// utahtravelingexhibits.org. Utah’s state-owned art collection began in 1899 under the leadership of Alice Merrill Horne, who ran for office on a platform of support for the arts. Once elected to the House of Representatives, she sponsored a bill to create a state arts organization and to establish a state collection of artwork. Thanks to the efforts of the Collection Acquisition Committee and generous donations from patrons and artists, the Utah State Fine Art Collection acquires new artwork by Utah artists every year. —State of Utah Dept. of Heritage and Arts

Local vendors join forces to organize Christmas Boutique in Lyman on Saturday
Brooke Jeffs and Pam Peterson put signs out for the Christmas Cottage Boutique at the Lodge in Lyman on Saturday. Feeling stressed out about holiday shopping? Whether you are running out of time (and burning too much gas), shopping within a budget or having trouble finding that perfect gift for someone special, the first annual Christmas Cottage Boutique will help bring the fun back to your
gift-giving. A dozen Wayne County vendors (and a couple from a bit further afield) will offer their unique products at the boutique this Saturday, December 1, from 10:00 am until 3:00 p.m., at The Lodge at Thousand Lake Mountain in Lyman in this kid
and family-friendly event. Shoppers will receive free raffle tickets as they enter the Lodge for hourly drawings of merchandise from the participating vendors. Prizes will include gift certificates, free nail or hair supplies, and a purse giveaway. Vendors will be adding more prizes as the day goes on. Get all your holiday shopping done at once. A wide variety of merchandise will be available, from baskets made from authentic cowboy lariats to brand name clothing and accessories and handmade crocheted and quilted items. Even some of the ornaments decorating the trees will be for sale. “Prices will start from a dollar and up, so if kids need a gift for Mom and they only have three dollars, we can help them with that,” said boutique co-organizer and WCBA member Brooke Jeffs. “A lot of people have Christmas exchanges where their dollar limit is $5 and they still want a nice gift. And the same is true for grandparents, who may have 20 grandkids, and they need help keeping the overall holiday budget affordable,” she added. Vendors are ready to help the men out with their shopping needs, both by offering goods like chaps and pocket knives, and by providing men with a little extra help shopping for that special lady. “If you men are having trouble finding that perfect gift for your wife, come and let our different vendors help and inspire you,” said Brooke.
It was co-organizer Pam Peterson’s idea to hold the event at the Lodge, showcasing this new venue in the community. Five decorated trees and Christmas lights and music will create a festive atmosphere. “I’m just excited for everyone to see how beautiful the lodge is and its cottagy setting,” said Pam, whose husband Ted helped to build the facility. In addition to his hosting duties, Bruce Chappell will be firing up the smokehouse to offer pulled pork sandwiches that will add a mouth-watering aroma to the fun. Jakelle Pace will also be cooking up a storm for the event. She will be preparing cheeseballs and other goodies as a fundraiser for her sister-in-law, who is ill with colon cancer. Jakelle uses her dad’s secret recipes from his time
at the original Parsons Bakery in Richfield. Brooke and Pam hope this year’s boutique is the first in a new Wayne County tradition. They opted not to bring in vendors from outside, keeping the event a locals-only showcase, supporting the buy local effort to keep dollars circulating in the county economy. “Since I have been involved in different boutiques, I always wanted to do one of my own because they are fun. But I also wanted to make sure that people knew all the talent that is all around Wayne County and that they don’t have to go shopping in Salt Lake or St. George. We all can help each other by bringing people together this weekend,” said Brooke. For more information, call Pam at 435-836-2017.

Practical Money Matters
Last Minute Ways to Trim Your Taxes by Jason Alderman
From now until New Year’s is probably when you have the least amount of time to spare on mundane financial bookkeeping tasks. But if you can dedicate a few minutes to review your benefits and tax paperwork, you might be able to shave hundreds – or even thousands – of dollars off your 2012 taxes. Here are a few suggestions: If you haven’t already maxed out on contributions, ask your employer if you can make a catch-up contribution to your 401(k), 403(b) or 457 plan before year’s end. Most people can contribute up to $17,000 in 2012 (a $500 increase over 2011), plus an additional $5,500 if they’re over 50. If you contribute on a pretax basis, your taxable income is reduced, which in turn lowers your taxes. At a minimum, if your employer offers matching contributions (essentially, free money), be sure to con-
tribute at least enough to take full advantage of the match. If you participate in employer-sponsored flexible spending accounts (FSAs), which let you use pretax dollars to pay for eligible healthcare and dependent care expenses, an important change is coming next year: Beginning January 1, 2013, the maximum annual contribution for healthcare FSAs will shrink to $2,500 from the $5,000 limit many employers currently offer; however, if your spouse has FSAs at work, you still may contribute up to $2,500 to each account. Dependent care account limits remain unchanged. It’s vital to calculate and use any untapped 2012 account balances before your plan-year deadline (sometimes up to 75 days into the following year); otherwise, you’ll forfeit the remaining balance. If you have a surplus, consider which 2013 expenses you could pay before December
31, 2012. And, keep the new limit in mind when planning your 2013 healthcare FSA. You can use your healthcare FSA for copayments, deductibles and medical devices such as glasses, contact lenses and braces, among other expenses; over-the-counter medicines are only eligible with a doctor’s prescription (an exception is made for insulin). Charitable contributions. If you plan to itemize deductions on your 2012 taxes, charitable contributions made to IRS-approved organizations by December 31, 2012, are generally tax-deductible. If you’ve got extra cash now and want to lower your 2012 taxes even further, consider moving up donations you would have made in 2013. Gifts. Unless Congress intervenes, the federal income tax exemption for estate distributions and lifetime gifts will drop from the 2012 limit ($5.12 million) to the pre-2011 level of $1 million (for married
couples, it drops from $10.24 million to $2 million); in addition, the tax rate on gifts or estate distributions above those limits will increase from 35 percent in 2012 to 55 percent in 2013. One way to exceed the lifetime gift limit – and avoid having to file a Gift Tax Return – is by giving separate, annual gifts of up to $13,000 per year, per person. (Married couples filing jointly can give $26,000 per recipient.) Rules for gift and estate taxes are complex, so read IRS Publication 950 (at www.irs.gov) and consult your financial advisor. This isn’t an ideal time to take on any additional tasks, but if some or all of these situations apply, you could considerably lower your tax bill – wouldn’t that be a great way to start the New Year?
