Bryce Canyon National Park Announces Alternative Alignments for Multi-Use Visitor Path
BLM to Host Public Scoping Meetings on the GSENM Livestock Grazing Plan Amendment
KANAB - The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM) is holding public scoping meetings on December 10, 11, and 12 seeking public input on a Livestock Grazing Monument Management Plan Amendment and Associated Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) that will replace existing grazing management decisions and amend the Monument Management Plan. All meetings will run from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. The December 10 meeting takes place in Kanab, Utah, at the BLM administrative complex located at 669 S. Highway 89A. The December 11 meeting is being held at the Interagency Visitor Center at 755 West Main Street in Escalante, Utah; and the December 12 meeting is at the Salt Lake City Main Library, 210 South 400 North. The meetings will begin with a presentation about the project, followed by an open house. During the open house, the public will have the opportunity to ask BLM and National Park Service (NPS) specialists in attendance about the project. The affected planning area includes all public lands within GSENM and public lands for which GSENM has livestock grazing management responsibility. This includes BLM lands within GSENM and additional lands within portions of the BLM’s Kanab Field Office and the Arizona Strip Field Office as well as lands managed by the National Park Service (NPS) in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Small areas of additional state, municipal, and private lands also border or are contained within the planning area, but are not included in the decision area. The public scoping period for the project began November 4, 2013 and will end January 13, 2014. During this time, the BLM is seeking input to determine relevant issues that will influence the scope of the environmental analysis, including alternatives, and guide the process for developing the EIS.
You may submit comments on issues and planning criteria in writing to the BLM at any public scoping meeting, or by any of the following methods: • Mail: Bureau of Land Management, Grand StaircaseEscalante National Monument, 669 S. HWY 89-A, Kanab, Utah 84741 • Email: BLM_UT_GS_ EIS@blm.gov • Fax: (435)644-1250 Please reference “GSENM Livestock Grazing Plan Amendment” when submitting comments. To be most helpful, please submit comments before the close of the scoping period. Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment – including your personal identifying information – may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. BLM will not consider anonymous comments. The minutes and list of attendees for each scoping meeting will be available to the public and open for 30 days after the meeting to any participant who wished to clarify the views he or she expressed.

Garkane Energy’s 2013 Property Tax Payments LOA - Garkane paid $542,553 in property taxes to counties in Utah and Arizona this year. Garkane is an important member of the local community tax base. Taxes paid to each county are as follows: Utah - Total: $462,200.05 Garfield: $151,487.70 Kane: $230,695.09 Piute: $10,987.44 Sevier: $17,990.72 Washington: $11,095.89 Wayne: $39,943.21 Arizona - Total: $80,353.80 Mohave: $54,499.66 Coconino: $25,854.14
Although Garkane Energy is a cooperative, it still pays real estate, personal property, sales, motor vehicle, and gasoline taxes; generally all taxes paid by a for-profit company. Most cooperatives however do not pay federal income taxes because they allocate net income to members in the form of a capital credit refund. This refund was just seen on consumer’s bills for December 2013. For any questions please email nbrown@garkaneenergy.com or call 435-644-5026 —Garkane Energy

Hickman Bridge Trailhead Reopens CAPITOL REEF N.P. - A significant rockfall occurred at the Hickman Bridge Trailhead off Utah Highway 24 on March 23, 2013. Several hundred tons of material fell, blocking the only trail access to Hickman Bridge. The trailhead was officially closed upon discovery of the rock fall. Due to the size of the rockfall, additional precautions were taken before the trailhead could be reopened. The trailhead has been delineated and the trail has been realigned around the debris pile. This work was accomplished with assistance from the Rocky Mountain National Park trail crew. A portion of a retaining wall just beyond the rockfall was washed out during this seasons flooding in September. Please use caution when hiking through this area. Masonry work will be performed in the spring as warmer temperatures allow. The Hickman Bridge Trail, 2 miles round-trip (3.2 km) is one of the most popular trails in Capitol Reef National Park. This trail provides great views of the reef, Capitol Dome, the spectacular Hickman Bridge and also provides access to the Rim Overlook and Navajo Knobs Trail. Caution is advised while hiking and visiting all locations in canyon country. Inherent dangers exist including rockfall hazard, flash floods, loose footing, and lightning. Stay alert, be aware of hazardous conditions and check with the visitor center staff for additional updates or weather conditions. More information can be found at www.nps.gov/care, facebook.com/CapitolReefNPS, twitter.com/CapitolReefNPS, and at (435) 425-3791. —National Park Service
BRYCE CANYON N.P. In response to input from the public, the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), additional cooperating agencies, the Federal Highway Administration, and National Park Service (NPS) staff, Bryce Canyon National Park is pleased to announce the development of preliminary alternatives for the proposed construction of a multi-use visitor path connecting Bryce Canyon City to Bryce Canyon National Park. The two preliminary action alternatives being considered are (1) The Topographic Alignment and (2) The Road Corridor Alignment. These two alternatives vary in the following ways: · Separation distance from Highway 63 and main park roads · Amount of direct access provided to key facilities and connectivity with viewpoints, and · Resource and topographic advantages for construction and accessibility More information about these preliminary alternatives and the process to further refine them is available online at http://parkplanning.nps.gov/ brca. Because all action alternatives would connect the path through Dixie National Forest, the USFS is a key partner on this project. Both agencies will collaborate on the development of a forthcoming environmental assessment. The project is also being planned in close coordination with Bryce Canyon City, Garfield County, and Utah Department of Transportation. The construction of the path would aid in addressing traffic congestion and
safety within the park and the adjacent community of Bryce Canyon City. For those that choose to explore the park by non-motorized means, the path would provide visitors with a safe travel alternative from Bryce Canyon City, through adjacent portions of the Dixie National Forest and throughout the Bryce Amphitheater portion of the park. An environmental assessment will be prepared in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act. The environmental assessment will provide a decision-making framework that analyzes alternatives to meet objectives, to evaluate impacts to park and national forest resources, and to identify measures to lessen the degree or extent of any impacts. A final public comment period will be available when the Multi-Use Path Environmental Assessment is released in 2014. At all stages of this process, public comments are welcome. To assist in development of the project alternatives, please provide your comments on the multi-use path alternative alignments by December 30, 2013. Email brca_information@nps.gov, or mail comments to Bryce Canyon National Park, P.O. Box 640201, Bryce, Utah 84764. Respondents should include their name, address and email to be added to the mailing list for more information about this project. Remember that unless requested otherwise, a list of all those that comment during public review periods, including their addresses, is available upon request. —National Park Service
Teasdale Addiction Counselor Receives Award for Book Addressing New Approach to Recovery by Bob Phillips, Contributing Writer TEASDALE - Alcoholism and addiction continue to take a huge toll in America in spite of the decades-long “war on drugs,” and a new approach is vital if the problem is ever to be successfully addressed at both an individual and societal level, says John Dupuy, a Teasdale-based addiction counselor and author of a new book on the subject. Dupuy’s “Integral Recovery: A Revolutionary Approach to the Treatment of Alcoholism and Addiction,” was recently awarded best book of 2013 on addiction recovery by USA Book News. Dupuy argues that traditional approaches to recovery such as the 12-step program of Alcoholics Anonymous – while
helping many millions of people recover – need to evolve to encompass modern research and increasing social stresses. Traditional models to addiction recovery have helped many people turn their lives around dramatically, yet the sad reality is that the majority of people who undertake the 12-step program ultimately relapse, Dupuy said in a recent interview. He believes so many fall through the cracks because they fail to address key components of health that then place them at high risk for resuming their addictive behaviors. Dupuy believes that a deeper and more integrated approach is needed that incorporates vital details about brain
health and neurochemistry, physical health, emotional and spiritual health and methods of introspective meditation, along with frequent contact with nature and a viable relationship to the world at large. “What AA affirms is wonderful, people hanging together who want to stay sober,” he said. The methods developed by the organization’s founders in the 1930s – recovering alcoholics (and later addicts) providing mutual support and aid has provided many formerly hopeless individuals with profound new hope and strength for the future, Dupuy noted.

UDOT Launches a New Citizen Reporter Program SALT LAKE CITY Current and forecast weather conditions are a critical part of traveler information in Utah. Utah has many high mountain passes and rural routes that frequently experience hazardous winter weather, and accurate road condition information for these routes is vital for traveler safety and route planning. The UDOT Citizen Reporting Program enlists volunteers to report on current road conditions along specific roadway segments across Utah. The volunteers can be UDOT employees, law enforcement, truck drivers, plow drivers, experienced commuters, or other volunteers. The long term goal of adding Citizen Reporters to UDOT’s weather operations road reporting is to supplement current condition reporting on segments where drivers are already traveling. All of the incoming data is compiled with carefully crafted logic to determine the condition of the road surface. Reports from plow drivers, law enforcement and other experienced reporters may be utilized in a different way than volunteer citizen data, howev-
er all data is immensely valuable and helpful in determining the condition of the road surface. How do you become a UDOT Citizen Reporter? In order to become a UDOT Citizen Reporter, you will need to complete a brief training (either online or in person), take a short quiz and complete a sign-up form. The training takes approximately 30 minutes. Once a volunteer has completed these steps, they will be provided with a login and PIN, and can begin submitting reports. Reports are submitted through the UDOT Citizen Reporting app, downloadable for Android and Apple devices from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. If you would like to become a Citizen Reporter, please follow this link to take the online training: www. udottraffic.utah.gov/training/citizenreporter. For more information or to schedule an in person training, email UDOTCitizenReporter@utah. gov. —Utah Dept. of Transportation

Utah Announces 2012-13 Title I Reward Schools SALT LAKE CITY - The United States Congress has long recognized that higher poverty schools face unique challenges in educating students and provides supplementary assistance to those schools in the form of Title I funds. Schools that meet high levels of achievement and close the learning gap despite these challenges are to be commended. The Utah State Office of Education has identified Title I Reward Schools for the 2012-2013 School Year. In academic performance, these schools are the top 15 percent of Title I schools and all have either above average academic growth or above average academic achievement. The Title I accountability system for Utah utilizes results from the Utah Comprehensive Accountability System (UCAS) to identify high-performing Title I schools. The Utah State Office of Education is pleased to recognize the following Title I schools that have achieved high levels of student performance:
School Central Elementary Orem Junior High Belknap Elementary Milford Elementary Minersville Elementary Birch Creek Elementary Canyon Elementary Heritage Elementary Lewiston Elementary Lincoln Elementary Millville Elementary Nibley Elementary Park Elementary Summit Elementary Bruin Point Elementary Ferron Elementary Escalante Elementary Panguitch Elementary Cedar North Elementary Enoch Elementary Escalante Valley Elementary Parowan Elementary Three Peaks Elementary Kanab Elementary Morgan Elementary McMillan Elementary Goshen Elementary Spring City Elementary Amelia Earhart Elementary Provost Elementary South Rich Elementary Ashley Elementary Hurricane Elementary Springdale Elementary Sunset Elementary —Utah Office of Education

In past years, the holidays were known as a time when people might get a “Christmas Bonus” from their employers. It might have been a little extra cash, a turkey, movie tickets, etc. For some, that isn’t true anymore. But some people get that “Christmas Bonus” in the form of extra days because of a complete stranger. As we approach the holiday season, it is a time to reflect and express gratitude; however; there is a gentleman, “Rob,” who expresses gratitude every single day throughout the year. He had a liver transplant a few years ago and now calls each day since his transplant a “Bonus Day.” He can tell you exactly how many bonus days he has had, even though they now number well over 1,000. He knows another family made the decision to say yes on a very tragic day in their lives. It was a difficult decision for them and he is determined to show his gratitude as he lives each bonus day. Those bonus days have included such milestones as attending his kids high school and college graduations, the birth of grandchildren, extra “bonus” time spent his wife, and family vacations. He knows that if it weren’t for the decision of his donor’s family, he would not have these bonus days. I have met many other recipients who celebrate each “bonus day” since their transplant; families who have lost a loved one and consider the decision to donate a legacy to the memory of that loved one; and sadly, I have met families who have lost a loved one because they were not able to get the transplant that could have saved their life. Because of them, I say “Yes” to organ, eye and tissue donation each time I renew my driver license. This year, as you reflect on what you are grateful for, remember that each day we have is a bonus. Live each day to its fullest, but make sure you are registered to help others when you have had your last bonus day. Say “Yes” at www.yesutah.org.

UT Farmers: We’d Be Thankful with a New Farm Bill SALT LAKE CITY - Utah’s agricultural community would probably be a lot more thankful this holiday season if Congress would pass a new Farm Bill. Kent Bushman, president, Utah Farmers Union, said farmers throughout the state are feeling a great sense of uncertainty. No Farm Bill means crop insurance and other government programs are in jeopardy, he explained, causing economic doubts for farmers - and also, for banks that lend them money. “When there’s not a Farm Bill, it is kind of hard to go to the bank and borrow money to operate for a year,” Bushman said, “if you don’t know where we’re going to stand on different programs that the government has offered in the past.” A major cause of congressional delay on this issue is the battle over cutting billions of dollars from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also known as Food Stamps. The Senate has approved $4 billion in SNAP cuts, while the House approved trimming $40 billion from the program. The two sides have been trying to work out a compromise number. The Farm Bill supports so many programs and jobs, Bushman said, that not passing legislation soon could even threaten the U.S. food supply, in some ways. “We want to provide the safest, cheapest food in the world here in the United States. Without some of these programs, we might not have that, if we have to start importing food,” he warned. Cattle, wheat and alfalfa make up the biggest sectors of Utah’s farm economy, Bushman noted. —Troy Wilde, Utah News Connection

This number verifies that the person you’re buying the license for has completed a DWR-approved hunter education course. The course is required for anyone born after Dec. 31, 1965 who wants to hunt in Utah. If you buy a fishing or hunting license at a DWR office, you don’t need the person’s blue card number. “Using the computers at our offices,� Tutorow says, “we can verify that the person you’re buying the permit for has completed hunter education.� She says license agents can’t verify—via computer— that someone has completed hunter education. “If you buy a hunting or combination license from a license agent,� she says, “you’ll have to give the agent the person’s blue card number.� For more information about Utah fishing and hunting licenses, call the nearest Division of Wildlife Resources office or the DWR’s Salt Lake City office at 801-5384700. —Utah Division of Wildlife Resources
Fishing license (12 and 13 years old): $5 Hunting license (under 14 years of age): $11 Hunting license (14 years old and older): $26 They’re good for 365 days In addition to enjoying the outdoors in 2014, the person you give the license to will receive an added bonus—they won’t have to wait until Jan. 1 to use it. Utah fishing and hunting licenses are 365-day licenses. That means they’re good for 365 days from the day you buy one. For example, if you buy a license on Dec. 12, 2013, the person you give it to can use it immediately. And they can continue using it through Dec. 11, 2014. (One note: hunting and combination licenses do not include a deer or elk permit and do not allow someone to hunt deer or elk. Hunters can apply for a 2014 general buck deer permit in February. General elk permits will be available by mid summer on a firstcome, first-served basis.) They’re easy to buy Tutorow says buying a license for someone is easy.

The licenses are also available at DWR offices and from 320 fishing and hunting license agents across Utah. Combination licenses— which allow the license holder to fish and hunt small game— are also available at the same locations and at the website. Order early If you buy a license at the website (www.wildlife.utah. gov), you can have it mailed to you (so you can wrap it and give it as a gift).

oneself and stopping blaming others is fundamental to AA, and “The 12 steps are basically ‘spirituality 101,’� he added. However, many who are caught in the throes of alcohol or drug addiction have deeper issues that must be addressed for successful recovery, Dupuy said. Those issues can range from unresolved childhood traumas, to obesity and bad diet, physical or mental health issues and a fundamental failure to come to grips with one’s purpose in life. “What it neglects is where people fall through the cracks,� he said. “We need to build on what AA has brought forth but include everything else that needs to be included.� Fundamentally, any successful recovery program must work on the whole individual in an integrated fashion – essentials like exercise, healthy diet and spiritual practice cannot be skipped, regardless of how many meetings an individual attends, Dupuy said. Recovery work also includes facing and dealing with major past traumas and the individual’s “shadow� – which he defines as “negative stories people have created about themselves and reality that are no longer functional.� If ignored, those shadow personality traits will almost always lead an individual to relapse, as well as create serious psychological conflicts in general, he said. Among the unique methods that Integral Recovery employs are technologically enhanced meditation techniques using sound. These brainwave entrainment techniques often help recovering addicts reach deep, delta brain wave states which Dupuy believes dramatically enhance their ability to address past traumas and ongoing negative modes of thinking. Many in recovery relapse because they fail to address “the stuff that got them using in the first place,� he said. “Part of the work is finding what you’re really here to do. Integral Recovery isn’t just about ‘not using’ drugs and alcohol. It moves on from there to find out what kind of person you‘re supposed to be.� His own personal struggles that led him to addiction counseling sprang from severe, chronic depression that pushed him to the brink of taking his own life.

School Notes GCSD Lighting Upgrades As you enter the schools and gymnasiums this year, you will notice improvements in our lighting systems throughout the District. Last year, Garfield School District approved a lighting upgrade for Panguitch High School. All of the lights in the classrooms and the gymnasium were replaced with high efficient energy saving fixtures that create a brighter work area. With the instillation of the high efficient lights, the District was able to receive $24,458 from the Rocky Mountain Power incentive program. When the project was completed, Rocky Mountain Power inspected the upgrade and provided the District with the additional funds. The District took this money and continued to replace older less efficient lighting structures throughout the District starting in Bryce Valley and expanding to Escalante. The money has been reinvested in the gymnasiums in both areas with improvements to the auditorium and classrooms. The old gym in Escalante will receive the new lights along with the gym at Bryce Valley Elementary. Also, any classrooms that are not using the new lighting fixtures will be replaced. The schools in Bryce Valley and Escalante do not qualify for the Rocky mountain power incentive because they use Garkane Energy and there is currently no incentive available in these areas. However, the District reinvested the money from Rocky Mountain power to provide better lighting, save energy and ultimately save the tax payers money on future utility bills. It is interesting to note that, the average utility costs for a high school in the winter will run anywhere from $3,800 to $5,000 per month for electricity. With the new lights in place we expect to see a significant decrease in the utility costs in the future. —Superintendent Ben Dalton

Happy Thanksgiving!
We began a short week here at PHS with a great assembly Monday afternoon. The 3rd hour meeting was the sight of not only a hilarious Thanksgiving-themed student council video, but the presentation of the students and teachers of the month as well. Lauren Smith and Caitlyn Stowe were the High and Middle school candidates for student of the month, receiving prizes and certificates. Not to be outdone, Ms.Caine eagerly captured the award for teacher of the month for, in the words of student body president Rowdy Miller “Always making PHS lively and being here more than ANYONE.” I think we can all agree that the awards were well deserved. The assembly Monday was a sight for awards all around! Mr. Dawson happily presented medals and trophies to the highest scoring teams and individuals that presented at the Science Fair. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners even got a little bit of “green” to take on Thanksgiving break, receiving cash prizes. (I guess school really does pay!) Following the lead of
the girls basketball team, our boys in Bobcat blue went to North Sevier on Wednesday to make a good impression in the first game of the new season. With an already impressive team line-up and the energy in high notes, we can be sure to be happy spectators of another excited boys basketball season. As a reminder of being thankful for what we have this Holiday Season, the students and faculty of PHS took advantage of the second half of Tuesday to help collect donations for a food drive around town. After lunch, PHS members could be seen donning jackets and walking the streets of Panguitch, with bags in hand and good-will in their hearts. It’s always a good deed to perform, and helps to bring a sense of pride to the community in seeing both charity from town members and involvement from the youth. Happy Thanksgiving Everybody! Donnie Corwin is a senior at Panguitch High School and serves as high school historian.

BV Elementary News by Vicki D. Syrett
Monday, November 25th, the elementary school had a “Stranger in the Building” drill. And they chose prizes for earning their reading “Dog Tags” for the first term. They also had a Green Card drawing for reading and citizenship. Haven Syrett got the coveted football. Everyone wanted it! Other top prizes were iTunes cards, games and prizes. It was a fun time for the students. “Santa’s Secret Shop” was
held on Monday and Tuesday. This is the second annual event for this project. The gifts are made by 4th, 5th, and 6th graders and all students can purchase them. Ten percent of the money earned is given to a charity. Last year the money went to Sandy Hook elementary in New Jersey. They earned and donated over $100 and the sixth graders chose the charity. Katie Stewart organized this event for her FCCLA Project at
Bryce Valley High School. Bryce Valley Elementary had their Book Fair in the Elementary Library and Thursday is the last day people can purchase books. We appreciate Sandy Johnson and all the extra work she puts into this Book Fair for the Students. They can purchase books but also recommend books to be added to the school’s library. The money earned from the Book Fair is used to purchase books for the school library.

Mrs. Jackson’s Kindergarten Students are GREAT Readers In Mrs. Ashlee Jackson’s class the students are working hard on learning how to read. “We are becoming great readers”, said Mrs. Jackson, “We are reading small sentences now and are we are starting to learn how to write sentences.” Mrs. Jackson wants to encourage parents to continue to read with and to their student, “Especially their book bags. They have the words in them that we are learning to read.” Kindergarten students are also learning a lot in math including, how to read and write number names and counting numbers to 20. In December students will learn how to put numbers in order, learn the terms more and fewer, and continue to learn number 1 through 20. Last year Mrs. Jackson’s class built a behavior snowman, and it was a huge success. Each day as the students practiced good behavior and followed classroom and school rules the snowman grew bigger and bigger. This year the snowman will be built again. Their classroom goal is to have the snowman completed before Christmas break in order to earn a classroom party.

By Cynthia Kimball You are laid off from work. You got a speeding ticket. You failed a test. You are picked on. You got your heart broken. You were diagnosed with a disease. You were lied to. Your reputation has been smeared. You are broke. You got rejected. Nothing seems to be going right. You aren’t doing as well as you normally do in all regards. Your life isn’t what you thought it would be. Sometimes you are down. You feel like there is no hope. You want to give up. You ask, “Why me?” “Why now?” “I don’t deserve this.” But why don’t you?
Come What May and Love It
It could be a compliment from God. That He trusts you so much. To put you through this. To use you as a tool. To teach others. To save a soul. To teach you. To save your soul. Endure. Lose yourself in Him to find you. Don’t give up. No matter what. You are almost at the top of the mountain. Keep going. Go forward. Look up. Go serve another when you feel alone, down, sad. Make their day. Surprise them. Even serve anonymously. That’s best. And most fun. Have faith.
Express gratitude. Believe. It’s not about you. It’s about someone’s soul. But it could be yours, too. Yet, that is different than it being about you. You can do this. In fact, you are doing it. Visualize the outcomes you want. Consider His purpose in your trials. Understand His tailored made curriculum for you. Study it. Master it. Become it. “Come what may and love it.” Cynthia Kimball is a speaker and trainer through her company Every1Counts, LLC, and a doctoral student in Curriculum and Instruction.

Are You OK?
A fifteen-year-old boy came bounding into the house and found his mom in bed. He asked if she were sick or something. He was truly concerned. Mom replied that, as a matter of fact, she didn’t feel too well. The son replied, “Well, don’t worry a bit about dinner. I’ll be happy to carry you down to the stove.”
Doctor’s Advice
A middle-aged man wasn’t feeling well, so he went to the doctor for a check-up. After a thorough examination, the doctor said, “Well, based on my examination, the best thing for you is to cut out all sweets and fatty foods, give up alcohol, and stop smoking.” The man said, “Well, to be honest with you, Doc, I don’t deserve the best. What’s the second best?”

tHe lAuGhiNg pOiNt!! Dude Ranch
My wife and I went to a “Dude Ranch” while in Texas. The cowboy preparing the horses asked if she wanted a Western or English saddle, and she asked what the difference was. He told her one had a horn and one didn’t, she replied, “The one without the horn is fine. I don’t expect we’ll run into too much traffic.”
Favorite?
One day my two sons were having an argument. I listened in and overheard the older say to the younger: “Even if you were an only child, you still wouldn’t be Mom and Dad’s favorite.”
Dating Again
After four years of separation, my wife and I finally divorced amicably. I wanted to date again, but I had no idea of how to start, so I decided to look in the personals column of the local newspaper. After reading through all the listings, I circled three that seemed possible in terms of age and interest, but I put off calling them. Two days later, there was a message on my answering machine from my ex-wife. “I came over to your house to borrow some tools today and saw the ads you circled in the paper. Don’t call the one in the second column. It’s me.”

Wills, Trusts, and More Review Your Estate Plan by Jeffery J. McKenna
Significant family changes always signal the need to review and revise your estate plan. There are numerous reasons to update your estate plan. Clients often overlook changes in their life which necessitate changes to their Estate Plan. The following are 10 instances when your plan should be reviewed and updated: 1. Marriage. 2. The birth or death of a child. 3. A significant change in the value/ makeup of your Estate. 4. Divorce. 5. Relocation to a different state. 6. Changes in family relationships. 7. Changes in the law. 8. Changes in professional or business status and/or relationships. 9. Death of a spouse. 10. Death or incapacity of individuals named as fiduciaries in your current plan. You should review your plan on an annual basis to consider if any of the above events have occurred. If you are not sure whether these or other events require updating your plan, call your Estate Planning attorney to discuss your situation. State and federal legislatures have become very active
in recent years in changing the laws regarding estate planning, estate administration, and estate and income taxation. This trend is expected to continue. Because of this and also because you may have changes in your financial and/or family circumstances, it is recommended that a thorough review be made of your estate plan by an attorney when these changes occur, or at least every three to five years. A will can be changed or amended with a codicil, a document executed with the same formality as the will itself. It is not always necessary to completely redraft the old will to make minor changes. The codi-
cil must be in writing, signed by the testator, and witnessed by at least two disinterested parties. You cannot amend a will simply by writing in the margin or crossing out particular provisions. A will may be revoked by making out a new will that expressly revokes the former one, or by completely destroying the original will. Changes to a trust may be made by restating the trust, or by simply amending it, depending on the circumstances. Estate planning review is yet another way to protect your assets. It ensures that your wishes are carried out and that your heirs are protected from paying unnecessary taxes and
administration costs upon your death. Jeffery J. McKenna is a local attorney serving clients in Utah, Arizona and Nevada. He is the former President of the Southern Utah Estate Planning Council and a shareholder at the law firm of Barney, McKenna, and Olmstead with offices in St. George and Mesquite.

obituaries Jake Craig Petersen August 1, 1979 - November 26, 2013 RIVERTON - Our beloved husband, father, son, brother, grandson, and uncle. Son of the late Craig A. Petersen (Riverton) and Nancy Petersen Rees, and Gaylen K. Rees (Grover), Utah. Jake married his sweet, kind, and loving wife, Kimberly, on a special date, 11/11/11. We have never seen him happier, she was the love of his life and he loved her dearly. Jake was proud of his upbringing on the family farm in Riverton and of his close extended family. He cherished family heirlooms and pictures of the good old days. He was fond of his cowboy hat, boots, and wrangler jeans. He loved to listen to and sing music and had a beautiful voice. Jake was always a quiet observer of people. He didn’t need to be the center of attention; he was content to be himself and took joy in studying and learning about other people and sharing life’s quirky moments. Jake had an unconditionally accepting, tender heart, which he wore on his sleeve everyday. He didn’t waste time worrying about tomorrow but lived in the moment, cherishing the joy and sharing in the sorrow. He relished in finding out the details about people. These attributes served him well in his customer service career where his naturally sincere interest in others made him successful. Jake served a mission for the LDS Church and had a strong heart-felt testimony of the Savior. He loved his eternal family and longed to reunite with his dad and brother. We believe he is enjoying a joyful family reunion and is finding out all the details of the next life as he continues his eternal journey. Survived by his wife Kimberly Bradfield Petersen, son Mitchell Craig Petersen (8), mother Nancy Petersen Rees (Gaylen), brothers, Luke Petersen (Hilarie), Chase Petersen (Missy), sister Marci Kay Childs (Brandon) and grandfather Jacob P. Burton Jr. Preceded in death by his father Craig Alan Petersen, brother Quinn Clifton Petersen and grandparents Roy and Vera Petersen, and Myrl Burton. Funeral Services Nov. 30 at 11 a.m. in the Harvest Park Ward House, 4000 W. 12173 So. in Riverton.

FYI Panguitch
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com What a wonderful Thanksgiving, good food, good friends and neighbors, what else could you ask for? Many thanks to the Panguitch Lions Club and members who helped make this event possible. We fed over 60 and there was plenty of turkey to take home for hot turkey sandwiches. Many of the folks stayed to visit and catch up on the local gossip. Thanks to the family members and Lions members who lent a hand to make this a fun time. We have had some pretty good weather lately, however according to the weather people it is coming to an end, with temperatures dropping about 30 degrees this week. Don’t forget to turn on your facets to keep your pipes from freezing. Watch out for the black ice on the sidewalks and on the highways. Walk and drive like you are old, you will be a lot safer in the long run. There was a big, big turn out for Caryl Englestead’s birthday party, I hope I will be around for her 90th in 10 years. This is a big week for events, starting the Christmas Season. On Thursday, the 5th will be the Panguitch Lions Club annual Christmas dinner, with Greg and Claudia Payne doing the cooking honors and the Lions members supplying the entertainment, the 12 days of Christmas never sounded so good! Janis Henrie leads the singing with Vee singing solo “5 Golden Rings”! Also on the 5th the Lady Cats basketball team will kick off the home season with a game against Pine View, which is a 3A team. It still isn’t too late to get season tickets, just call PHS, it’s going to be a fun year for both the boys and girls teams.

Starting off with Santa coming to the Social Hall at ten in the morning, have your kids and grandkids get their list ready. Hot chocolate and donut holes will be served to warm up the stomachs. Santa will leave the Social Hall around 11:30 and go over to the Long Term Care center at the Hospital, with treats for the patients. At 1:00 pm the Main Street committee will have their Merchant drawing, use your tickets from purchases made at the Local Merchants. It will be at the Social Hall.

If you would like to show your nativity(s) bring them to the Social Hall after 7 on Friday night or before noon on Saturday. Questions:? Call Pam Yardley or Pat Oetting. On Tuesday the 10th, the Panguitch 1st Ward will have their annual Christmas Party and would like you to invite your neighbors. Entertainment will be supplied by the children in the Ward. Santa usually makes an appearance at
the dinner. All the Panguitch Wards are having Christmas dinner and programs as are the Relief Societies. You don’t have to be a Church member to come and enjoy. The dinner is free and the company is awesome! Ask anyone on the street, I bet they know which day the party is and where. Be sure to shop local, the Panguitch Drug has a Radio Shack and a lotof Christmas gifts. H&R also has everything for your Christmas needs. The new Family Dollar Store, can save you from going over to Wall Mart with their low prices on many of the same stuff. Make sure you get your Merchant drawing ticket with your purchases. As much as I disliked the mail in ballot election last month, it proved to be very successful. Two years ago Municipal election, had a 45% turnout, with the mail in ballots it was 57% a big increase.

On what has become known as Black Friday, Torrey Town woke up to a heavy fog making Thanksgiving 2013 almost seem like a dream. And it just might as well had been a dream until you had to go to the refrigerator to find anything and couldn’t, because it was filled with all of the delicious dishes you recently gave thanks for. As far as Black Friday in Torrey you really would have to break down some doors to try and find any deals because there were no places in Torrey left open, and there hasn’t been anything open for about a month. But for the educationally challenged and the emotionally intoxicated the only thing they might find themselves walking away with would be in a pair of handcuffs courtesy of the dedicated members of the neighborhood watch committee. I suppose for some sleeping in a long line of flimsy ny-
lon tents near the front door of Best Buy, on a concrete sidewalk after just having given a hasty thanks for a quick dinner of canned cranberries and processed Turkey is considered to be the November thing to do. But my guess is that most of us that live in rural Utah and in places like Wayne County we have better things on our mind, like making memories with family and friends that will last a life time. Like the lighting of the lights on Temple Square, as of Thanksgiving eve Torrey Town has once again illuminated Main-Street and its trees with colorful festive lights to celebrate the holiday season. That special time of year when diets are nothing more than a distant memory and dishes of food are as plentiful as stretch pants where ever you go. Now that we can actually publicly say the “W” word “winter” it is a good time to remind folks that most things
freeze at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, “O” degree Celsius for foreigners and those well versed in the metric system of measurement. If you are a procrastinator or someone that has not already done so it is well past time to winterize your plumbing and anything else that has the potential of freezing. Because without a doubt at 6800 feet elevation temperatures will be dropping well below the happy Eskimo point in late December and January. Water pipes will break and they will make a frozen mess and it will cost you a lot of money, if you can get someone to go fix them, and you will become the talk of the town for years to come or at least until someone else does the same thing. It should be no secret that the Torrey Town water distribution system is not exempt from yet to be discovered or existing system problems that will require immediate and
Practical Money Matters
Over 70½? Don’t Forget Mandatory IRA Withdrawals by Jason Alderman With final holiday preparations looming, the last thing anyone wants to think about is next April’s tax bill. But if you’re over 70 ½ and have any tax-deferred retirement accounts (like an IRA), put down the wrapping paper and listen up: IRS rules say that, with few exceptions, you must take required minimum distributions (RMDs) from your accounts by December 31 of each year – and pay taxes on them – or face severe financial penalties. Here’s what you need to know about RMDs: Congress devised IRAs, 401(k) plans and other taxdeferred retirement accounts to encourage people to save for their own retirement. Aside from Roth plans, people generally contribute “pretax” dollars to these accounts, which means the contributions and their investment earnings aren’t taxed until withdrawn after retirement. In exchange for allowing your account to grow tax-free for decades, Congress also decreed that minimum amounts must be withdrawn – and taxed – each year after you reach 70 ½. To ensure these rules are followed, unless you meet certain narrowly defined conditions, you’ll have to pay an excess accumulation tax equal to 50 percent of the RMD you should have taken; plus you’ll still have to take the distribution and pay regular income tax on it. You can delay or avoid paying an RMD in certain cases, including: • If you’re still employed at 70 ½, you may delay starting RMDs from your workbased accounts until you actually retire, without penalty; however, regular IRAs
are subject to the rule, regardless of work status. • Roth IRAs are exempt from the RMD rule; however, Roth 401(k) plans are not. • You can also transfer up to $100,000 directly from your IRA to an IRS-approved charity. Although the RMD itself isn’t tax-deductible, it won’t be included in your taxable income and lowers your overall IRA balance, thus reducing the size of future RMDs. Another way to avoid future RMDs is to convert your tax-deferred accounts into a Roth IRA. You’ll still have to pay taxes on all pretax contributions and earnings that have accrued; and, if you’re over age 70 ½, you must first take your minimum distribution (and pay taxes on it) before the conversion can take place. Ordinarily, RMDs must be taken by December 31 to avoid the excess accumulation tax. However, if it’s your first distribution you may wait until April 1 the year after turning 70 ½ – although you’re still must take a second distribution by December 31 that same year. Generally, you must calculate an RMD for each IRA or other tax-deferred retirement account you own by dividing its balance at the end of the pre-
vious year by a life expectancy factor found in one of the three tables in Appendix C of IRS Publication 590: • Uniform Lifetime Table if your spouse isn’t more than 10 years younger than you, your spouse isn’t the sole beneficiary or you’re unmarried. • Joint and Last Survivor Table when your spouse is the sole beneficiary and he/ she is more than 10 years younger than you. • Single Life Expectancy Table is for beneficiaries of accounts whose owner has died. Although you must calculate the RMD separately for each IRA you own, you may withdraw the combined amount of all RMDs from one or more of them. The same goes for owners of 403(b) accounts. However, RMDs required from other types of retirement plans must be taken separately from each account. To learn more about RMDs, read IRS Publication 590 at www.irs.gov.

constant attention. To help maintain the integrity and safe distribution to water users Torrey Town requests that diligent customers report road side ice sculptures, bubbling wet spots where there was once none, muddy sunken areas where known buried water lines do exist and any suspicious human activity in or around Torrey Town’s water distribution equipment. The Torrey Town water superintendent and the billing clerk also reminds everyone that water meters are the sole property of Torrey Town and “not” to be used as personal shut off valves. Any damage or disturbance to the water metering system and its freeze protection will result in damage assessments and possible discontinuance of service. It is highly encouraged that personal service shut off valves be installed (at the owners expense) as to avoid preventative action being taken by the water department. For more information about shutting off services and the additional charges that may apply contact Torrey Town @ (435) 425 3600 or visit the official Torrey Town website torreyutah. gov. Although many of them were born outside, our animals and pets with their fluffy coats of fur are not totally immune from the cold. A weatherproof shelter with a discarded cuddly blanket could make all the difference between survival and becoming a Popsicle. Do the humane thing, who knows what you just might come back as in your next life? During this special season of the year not to be overlooked are the silent and sometimes forgotten that are in need that live among us. A neighbor, friend or distant relative we have not been to visit in a while, or a widow or lonely and sometimes socially isolated Torrey bachelor would appreciate nothing more than a ten pound tin of Nycole Durfey’s famous coconut and Trix treats delivered to his door by Brody and Haylie while singing Christmas Carols. A local Wayne County favorite community project is the annual Angel Tree. An opportunity for the willing and able, and the anonymous to give a Christmas gift to children that need nothing more than knowing that they are individually important and loved in our sometimes troubled, confusing and misunderstood world that we all have to live in, together. On the home front the damaged Hickman Bridge Trail is once again open to Capitol Reef visitors and hikers as reported by the Salt Lake Tribune. http://www.sltrib. com/sltrib/news/5719000378/park-bridge-hickman-trail. html.csp Access to the famed and heavily used Hickman Bridge trail in Capitol Reef National Park has been restricted since an untimely and naturally occurring rock fall took place closing the trail because of safety concerns. Other Capitol Reef access closures that still exist include the last half of the Petroglyph boardwalk due to a fallen cotton wood tree across the wooden walkway.
