Former Garfield County School District Business Administrator Pleads Guilty to Misuse of Public Funds PANGUITCH - On November 29, former Garfield County School District Business Administrator Justin Baugh pled guilty to two third degree felonies of misuse of public funds in Garfield County’s 6th District Court. In exchange for his guilty plea Baugh will be on probation for 3 years and complete the terms of his plea in abeyance (an agreement that allows the court to dismiss the violation upon completion of certain criteria) which includes 30 days in jail and a restitution payment of 15-thousand dollars. He also cannot commit any crime during those 3 years. Jerry Jaeger with the Washington County Attorney’s Office was assigned as the special lead prosecutor for Baugh’s case because Garfield County Attorney Barry Huntington had a conflict of interest in the case (a family member of Huntington’s worked for the school district ). Jaeger says they agreed to the plea in abeyance because Baugh had
Justin Baugh pled guilty to two felony counts. no previous criminal record: “The case has been going on for 3 and a half years now, and so we’re very grateful to finally come to a resolution where justice is served. I’m very thankful for all the help I got from the Garfield County Sheriff’s Department, especially Deputy Kevin Moore and Deputy Eric Houston.

Then, also, they were able to see it all through and I believe that based on their hard work that’s what helped to get the case resolved.” Baugh, formerly of Tropic, Utah, was arrested in May of 2010, after a Utah State auditors’ report found that Baugh had taken Garfield County School District money while working as Garfield County School District Business Administrator from 2008 to 2009. “I’m very thankful for all the help I got from the Garfield County Sheriff’s Department, especially Deputy Kevin Moore and Deputy Eric Houston, “ said Jaeger. “They’ve worked very hard on the case, and spent a lot of time over the past few years…and because of their dedication we were able to first of all crack the case, then, also, they were able to see it all through and I believe that based on their hard work that’s what helped to get the case resolved.” —Garfield County Sheriff’s Office
The Mt. Pleasant Relic House (with accompanying blacksmith’s shop and monuments), built in 1869 and designed by Brigham Young, was also the site of the 1872 peace treaty between Mormon settlers and Native Americans that ended the Black Hawk War.

Thankful for Utah Driver License The holiday season is in full swing. This time of year always seems like a good time to reflect on those things for which we are grateful. The list often includes family, friends, employment, and freedom. I would like to add to that list; I am grateful for the staff at the Utah Driver License Division. I work for Intermountain Donor Services, and have the opportunity to meet with driver license employees from time to time. Their job is often thankless. They sometimes have to deny someone a driver license because they did not pass the eye test. Others are turned away because they do not have the correct documentation with them. They are very good at remaining calm and impartial even when the person on the other side of the counter is angry. Keep in mind, they didn’t make the rules; they enforce them. By doing so, they keep us all a little safer, for which we should all be thankful. I also appreciate that in the midst of their busy jobs, they take time answer questions about organ donation and direct people with questions to our website and office. In Utah,
70 percent of people age 18 to 65 are registered donors. Utah recently received a national silver medal of honor for the performance of the donor registry. The majority of people on the donor registry made that decision on their driver license or ID card. So, they are not only keeping us a little safer, they have helped save many more lives by helping get the word out about donation. So next time you visit a driver license office, keep in mind that if there is a long wait, it is only because they are taking the time to work with others who, maybe like you, have questions or other needs. You may want to pick up a brochure and learn a little more about organ, eye and tissue donation while you wait. Or even better, go to www.yesutah.org before you go to get your driver license to get this information so it will be easy to say “yes”. So please, take an extra few seconds to say thank you and smile at the examiner who is helping you. Chances are, you might be the only person to do so that day. Dixie Madsen, Intermountain Donor Services

Join the Escalante Christmas Bird Count ESCALANTE - The 113th Annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count is just around the corner and the local Escalante event is slated for December 14, 2012. Birders and those interested in learning more about area birds are encouraged to participate. Birding experience is not necessary as folks with limited experience will be paired with those who already know the difference between a sparrow and a finch or an eagle and a hawk. Binoculars and birding books are recommended bring-alongs if you have them. The event begins at 8 AM at the Escalante Interagency Visitor Center conference room where teams are formed and birding routes are assigned. You can participate for a few hours or through the whole day. Birding tally sheets will be collected at the Escalante Outfitters from 4 to 6 PM during which soup will be provided and drinks may be purchased. Awards in a variety of categories will be won
by several lucky birders. And everyone who participates will receive a free Christmas Bird Count t-shirt. The Christmas Bird Count is the longest running Citizen Science survey in the world and provides critical data on population trends. Data from the over 2,000 birding circles throughout North America is collected each year. The data allows researchers, conservation biologists, and other interested individuals to study the long-term health and status of bird populations across North America. When combined with other surveys such as the Breeding Bird Survey, it provides a picture of how the continent’s bird populations have changed in time and space over the past hundred years. Tens of thousands of participants know that it is also a lot of fun. So plan to join us in Escalante for an educational and fun-filled day of birding on December 14! —Allysia Angus
Kitty Fixing Wraps Up 2012 Season

December 6, 2012
During a typical collection event, cats and kittens were trapped or collected in the evening, transported the following day to Kanab for surgery, and transported back to Escalante the day after that to return to their homes. In total, they were away from home less than 48 hours. From May through November, the local team rounded up community cats twice per month. In total, 200 cats and kittens (about 60% were females) were “fixed” and vaccinated at no cost. More than 45 individuals/families took advantage of the services provided. Using conservative estimates for the typical costs of spay/neuter surgeries and vaccinations, the program invested services worth well over $30K in Escalante in 2012. When spring rolls around

by Lisa Stevens It’s beginning to look alot like Christmas at Loa Elementary! On Friday, November 30, students and teacher spent art time decorating the school. It has been a tradition for as long as I can remember for each teacher to show their class how to make an ornament and then each student hangs their creation on the schools tree, located by the office; the students help give their classroom doors a festive makeover too. Keeping with the true meaning of the season a large Grinch cutout has been placed by the library with a bucket of small hearts next to it. When a student does something kind for another they write it on a heart and add it to the Grinch to help his heart grow bigger. On Thursday, November 29, Mrs. William’s and Mrs. Libby Torgerson’s third DATES TO REMEMBER…! grade classes preformed their play to a • Dec 11- (T) Bookmobile packed gymnasium. Felicity Williams, a • Dec 21- (F) Minimum Day fourth grade student in Mrs. Barlow’s class, • Dec 24-Jan 1 CHRISTMAS VACATION wrote the following review. “The third grade play “To Bee Or Not To Bee” was really cute. It was about Wanda Bee wanting to be a Honey Bee, but she didn’t pass the test. Her friend Johnny Bee took her to the Spelling Bees, the Quilting Bees, and the Drones, but she didn’t fit in. The flowers took her to Granny Smith, the apple tree. Granny Smith told her she can be whatever she wants to be. I liked it because it was fun, and it taught me that I am free to be whatever I want to be. Thanks third grade for your play!” Great job Felicity, and thank you for your review! Mrs. Sharmi Crowther, a.k.a. the FOOD LADY, visited Loa Elementary recently and took time to teach the 1st and 2nd grade students about sweet potatoes. The classes enjoyed delicious sweet potato cookies; you can find the recipe on Ms. Davis’ classroom blog, www.clubmonstars. blogspot.com. Mrs. Wendy Potter’s first grade class continues working on the goal of becoming independent readers; Mrs. Potter has incorporated reading across the curriculum and has her students read daily. You can help the students get more practice by asking a 1st grader to read you a story. The students are also writing about catching elves and have sent in applications to become elves, “Mainly because we fit the height requirement!” remarked Mrs. Potter. In second grade news Mrs. Laura Brinkerhoff’s students are having a great time reading with their fifth grade buddies from Mr. Ellett’s class. Mrs. Brinkerhoff said, “Hopefully this will help them to become better readers, and they do enjoy getting to know the 5th graders.” Mrs. Brinkerhoff would also like to remind parents, grandparents, and everyone who has the opportunity to spend time with a student to listen to them read every day. Aspen New, a student in Ms. MarJean Davis’ second grade class, reported on the classroom blog that they have been learning about rocks, “We learned about different kinds of rocks. We had a game to play about rocks. It was fun.” Parker Morgan also commented on the rock activities, “We had to bring a rock to school. We described our rock on a piece of paper.” Ms. Davis recently assigned her class to write about “How to make a cake”, the objective was to demonstrate to the students to use details in writing when describing. After the students had written the directions Ms. Davis picked one of the recipes to demonstrate in class. Laine Jensen’s recipe was selected; First I put eggs in it. Then I put brown suger in the cake. Then I put choclat in the cake. Then I mix it. Then I put flour in the cake. Then I put the cake in a pan. Last I put it in the oven and it is done. Then I eat the cake. “The kids about died when I put a whole package of brown sugar in.” reported Ms. Davis, “We talked about how the recipe didn’t say how much so I just had to guess.” Ms. Davis cooked the cake in a crockpot in the classroom, “After it cooked for a few hours we all tasted the gooey mess. Some liked it and some didn’t. When I got the crockpot home to clean it, the “cake” had cemented in and I couldn’t get it out.” What a fun way to help the students learn about detailed writing, and thank AA OPEN MEETINGS you Ms. Davis for sacrificing Every Wednesday and Sunday at 6:00 pm crockery in the name of educaBicknell Town Hall tion, hopefully one of the 1st grade elves will report to Santa you may need a new crockpot.

Garfield County Page Chrome Books The Garfield School District was awarded a matching grant from the Utah State Office of Education for computer adaptive testing. Approximately $35,000 has been spent on Chrome Books for students to use in the classrooms. A Chrome Book is a lightweight, easily portable laptop computer made by Samsung with a Google operating system. A Chrome Book has 6.5 hours of battery life and it only takes seconds for the machine to turn on. Students will be able to store their documents and assignments using Google Docs. Students will be able to access their documents whereever an internet connection is available. Chrome Books allow classrooms to become paperless and enable students to save their personal work for later use such as college. If a Chrome Book is taken home, when it connects to the internet the location of the computer can be found, so computers will never be lost. The Garfield School District has purchased 140 Chrome Books specifically for student use. The District will monitor the success of these Chrome Books and if they are as successful as we anticipate, the District will continue to invest in additional Chrome Books. You may want to ask your students if they have used the Chrome Books in their classroom. I would like to thank the students for utilizing the new technology. I would like to thank the teachers for incorporating a new instructional tool in their classrooms and also learning the new technology. I would like to thank Gerald Talbot, the District Technology Coordinator for applying for the grant and making the new technology available to the students. If you would like more information about Google Chrome Books, it can be found at: http://www.google.com/intl/ en/chrome/devices/landing.html —Superintendent Ben Dalton
Bryce Valley Elementary News
by Maren Stewart, Fifth Grade First grade: we have been learning about water and the ways it can be a solid, liquid, or a gas. We are working on related facts in math. We have also started a new computer program called “Ticket to Read” and have started learning about where Christmas traditions come from. Second grade: We have read a fun book called Charlotte’s Web. When we finished the book we watched the movie. Third grade; the third grade presented there class assembly last week. They did it on multiplication and how important it is to learn and memorize your times tables. They showed off the times table songs, showing some tricks they know and cup stacking. Fourth grade: we finished our math Unit on organization and interpreting data and probability. If you can’t remember what mode, median and outliers are just ask a forth grader. We are also being creative in displaying information on the counties of Utah. Fifth grade: We worked on toothpick bridges this week! We will see how much weight they can hold . one year there was a toothpick bridge that held 102 lbs! We have done lots with fractions too. Sixth grade: our class story this week was about the pyramids in Egypt. We spent a lot of time this week learning all about Egypt. We also did some fun stain glass Egyptian art. Thanks to Taylor Dathie for the Anti-Bullying Assembly held last week at the Elementary School. They showed a video and the students had to guess who was the bully and who wasn’t. We would ask questions and whoever asked a question would get an Otter Pop. We learned a lot from paying attention at this assembly. The Sheriff’s Department elected to say “NO” to Drugs and Officer Moore showed us how the new canine dog, Lance, is trained and how he works finding drugs and protects the officers. It was a great assembly and worth learning about.

Every1Counts By Cynthia Kimball Not all of us are gifted with humility out of the womb (actually I don’t know anyone that is); yet, fortunately for us, it is an acquired trait. So just what is humility? Often times people will use one word to define it: Christlike. When we think about the Savior, he is the epitome of humility (along with a gazillion other amazing traits). We all know people who are humble. Perhaps I am writing about you. It is those who don’t boast. It is those who do anonymous random acts of kindness. Even Latterday Saints who came by air, bus and train to the New York area to help in the cleanup after Super Storm Sandy, who quietly went to work (see video by one of those volunteers which tells the story: http:// www.cnn.com/2012/11/29/us/ sandy-good-deeds-irpt/index. html?hpt=hp_c1). Then others, of all faiths, joined them even outfitting themselves with Mormon Helping Hands yellow vests. It is folks like these who are giant examples of the Savior, yet are gentle, kind, loving; sometimes even quiet. It is those who give credit to others. It is those who dig in and just do (with-

On Being Humble
out being noticed). One of my past bishops—and also my chiropractor—is an example of humility. Just the thought of him I want to think, do, say and be better. I know sometimes using the words “always” and “never” can be an exaggeration. Yet, not with Bishop Jeff Holmes. He does always smile. And he always cares and compliments. As well as gives credit to others. He always does anonymous things for people. And he always finds virtues in them. He always gives people the benefit of the doubt. He always emits the light of Christ (so much so where you just want to “be” in His presence, because he models the Savior that much). He always believes in you. He always serves. He always has faith. And I have never heard him utter a word of criticism towards another. How does he do it? Again, by modeling how the Savior lived. And you can do this, too. Here’s how… Instead of running judgmental thoughts and then later uttering them about someone, what if you instead thought and uttered kind complimentary ones. Instead of shunning/ ignoring an enemy or someone
you envy (which is a trait to get rid of), love them. Instead of boasting, humbly and graciously accept a compliment. And what about doing something because it’s the right thing to do and not because you’re going to get credit or be noticed. There are many more ways to learn humility. Sometimes it’s even through adversity where you’re brought to your knees. Yet, instead of getting angry, see opportunity and change. Find the lesson in that adversity and then teach others how it’s done and what you learned. There is one quote I want to leave you with: “Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less (Warren, 2012, as cited on Brainy Quote). Think about that. And yes, do this especially during adversity and when you’re on top. Think about that, too.

Mall Santa
Meaningful Gift
Every year on my birthday, I looked forward to my aunt’s gift ... a scarf, hat, gloves or sweater knitted by hand. One year, she must have had better things to do because I received a ball of yarn, knitting needles, and a how-toknit book. Her card read: “Hat, some assembly required.”
Drive Thru
I decided to grab a burger at a drive-thru. There were no cars in sight, so I rolled right up to the pay window. “We’re still serving breakfast. And you have to order at the speaker,” the clerk scolded. I drove all the way around the building to the squawk box and ordered a breakfast sandwich. “I’m sorry,” she said, “we are now serving lunch.”
Because of my fluency in American Sign Language, I was hired to be a Santa Claus at the mall. My employer wanted to provide hearing impaired children with a Santa who could communicate with them. I sat for hours, performing for the children who came to visit. But none of them was deaf. Then, two girls approached shyly. One explained that her sister was deaf and could not speak. “What is your name?” I signed slowly. “J-A-S-M-I-N-E,” she replied with her fingers, grinning from ear to ear. I was bubbling over with pride when I absent-mindedly signed, “My name is H-E-N-R-Y, nice to meet you.”
Delivery Nurse
When the patient was wheeled into the delivery room, she told me, “I remember you from the last time I gave birth.” I was thrilled, especially since it had been a few years. “Do you really remember me?” I asked, milking it. “Yes. You’re the nurse who ate all my candy.”

Second Marriages Later in Life By Jeffery J. McKenna
Second marriages later in life can be wonderful experiences and often should be encouraged, but they are not without some special considerations. Often, older couples have to cope with adult children who cannot understand why mom or dad wants to remarry. By updating one’s estate plan, many concerns related to the marriage can be minimized. In second marriages later in life, there is often a desire
to allow the estate of the first spouse to die to be available for a surviving spouse during his or her life. However, the deceased spouse often wants the estate to ultimately be distributed to his or her children upon the surviving spouse’s death. The best way to ensure that one’s assets are available for a surviving spouse but ultimately distributed to one’s children from a prior marriage is through the use of a trust. The trust can be created within a will (this is called a testamentary trust) or it can be created within a living trust (this is a trust created while one is alive). Significantly, the trust maker would set forth the terms of the trust according to his or her wishes, and would select the trustee (or trustees) to manage the trust. Upon the death of the trust maker, the trustee would then manage the trust assets subject to those specified wishes of the trust maker.
For couples in a second marriage, it is often important to sign a marital agreement that states each spouse can dispose of his or her estate as desired. If such a document is not signed, a surviving spouse could legally attempt to “override” the estate plan of the deceased spouse. Often, a given state’s law will provide that a surviving spouse can “elect against the will.” This means that a surviving spouse is entitled to a spousal share as specified by statute despite the fact that the will may provide differently. Proper estate planning in these circumstances can be a great blessing. It can relieve significant concerns of adult children when a parent remarries later in life, and it can bring peace of mind to the parent, knowing that he or she has succeeded in protecting the financial legacy of the children. Jeffery J. McKenna is an attorney licensed in three states and serving clients in Utah, Nevada, and Arizona. He is a partner at the law firm of Barney McKenna Olmstead & Pack, with offices in St. George and Mesquite. He is a founding member of the Southern Utah Estate Planning Council.

While my parents were making pre-planning funeral arrangements, the cemetery salesman pointed out a plot that he thought they would like. “You’ll have a beautiful view of the swan pond,”he assured them. Dad wasn’t sold: “Unless you’re including a periscope with my casket, I don’t know how I’m going to enjoy it.”
On the first day of vacation, the girl fell and broke her leg. As the doctor examined her, she moaned, “Why couldn’t this have happened on my last day of skiing?” The doctor replied, “This IS your last day of skiing.”

OBITUARIES Guy G. Pace 1920 - 2012 TEASDALE Guy Grigg Pace (Gramps) age 92, our beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend, passed away December 1, 2012 at his home, surrounded by his loving family.

Guy was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant and was actively engaged in World War II in the European Theater until 1946, when he was discharged as a Major in the US Army. Gramps, as he is known to everyone, loved a good story and someone to tell it to. If you had the time he could take you on a 50 cent tour of his ranch. Gramps has been innovative in the cattle industry by implementing cross-breeding cattle into this area. Gramps has been a fixture in many bull sales far and wide. He went to Washington D.C. to preserve grazing in the Capitol Reel National Park. He was a friend to many without any age barrier. He claims to have invented the game of cribbage and enjoyed traveling in 48 of the 50 states. Gramps was involved in many civic affairs serving on the Wayne Board of Education, Wayne County Commissioner, County Farm Bureau President, Selective Service Board, President of Dark Valley Grazers, president and member of local irrigation companies, and longtime member of the Utah State Cattlemen’s Association.

TORREY News Adus Dorsey The eerie sound for helicopter rotors flopping through air above the Lost Lake fire area could be heard for days in the Teasdale and Torrey area. The large mechanical insects could be seen reseeding the burn area then dropping large bales of straw in an attempt to kick start the planting rejuvenation process on Boulder Mountain. As with anything out of the ordinary in the area this time of year concerned citizens came with up their own scenarios of why helicopters were scouring the area above Teasdale. Some of the less informed thought it was a drug bust or a paramilitary exercise, for the super naturally inclined it was a search for a downed UFO. For folks like Paula Pace she felt it surely
had something to do with the Mayan calendar. A couple of the kids from the elementary school were positive the helicopters were locating landing spots for Santa’s sleigh. For the paranoid it was an opportunity leave town in the night and possibly make plans to return in February. To add to the paranoia of some Torrey Town has taken a bottom up approach to Christmas lighting on Main Street this year. As part of granted wish from Santa last year the large cottonwood trees are being illuminated with colored lights in spectacular fashion. There has been such a wonderful response to the new lights that the idea of a citizen lighting sponsorship has been bandied around to light up the rest of Main Street.
Also kicking off the Torrey Town Christmas spirit, on December 7th at the DUP building on Main Street is the Torrey Ho Down at 7:00 p.m. There will be plenty of Christmas Spirit, Music and homemade refreshments by some of the best bakers in the county. The Torrey Ho down has been a long running tradition in Torrey Town. It is an opportunity for our county to come together as a community in a show of appreciation of the true meaning of Christmas, the gift of life. Scrooges are encouraged to attend. Due to the mild late fall weather and a extended working season the Torrey water project has been made major strides and progress towards completion of the water project. Jackson Excavation
Project Manager Kirk Jackson consistently to shows expertise and good workmanship in keeping his crews moving forward; behind the scenes head task master and Jackson patriarch Terry Jackson is a persistent moving force. Residents of the Sleeping Rainbow development north of Torrey Town will continue to experience construction related activity, short water outages, and minor delays as new connections are being made. The new Sleeping Rainbow water storage tank has passed all engineering, structural and water tests and is presently in service. Individual service connections to the new water delivery system are in progress.
For Your Health Some Pharmacy Products are Behind the Counter This third group is known as behind-the-counter or BTC medications. BTC drugs do not require a prescription, but they are not available in just any location either. Instead, you can only buy them in locations where a pharmacist is present. The pharmacist is a highly educated professional whose college years were spent learning about the body’s functions, how to recognize minor medical conditions, when to refer you to a physician, and the uses of medications. Why Do These Medications Require a Pharmacist? The reason you must visit a pharmacist before purchasing these BTC products varies with the specific item. For example, insulin is too dangerous to allow its sale by those without a pharmacy degree, as even a small overdose can lead to deadly insulin shock. In some states, codeine-containing cough syrups are available in the BTC category. Pseudoephedrine You may be aware that certain cold products are not available except from a pharmacy. These BTC products all contain pseudo-ephedrine (PSE), a safe and effective nasal decongestant found in such products as Sudafed and in combinations like Allegra-D and Claritin-D. However, illegal drug lab operators found that PSE could be used as a starting element to make methamphetamine (meth). They began to buy PSE in large quantities, many times from nonpharmacy outlets such as convenience stores. To help control the growing problem of meth, state and federal authorities decided to pass laws that would restrict sales to pharmacies. Purchasers must show photo identification, have their transaction logged, and are subject to daily and monthly limits. Pharmacists were chosen as the critical gatekeepers for PSE sales because they have the knowledge to determine whether sales are legitimate. They may ask you about such issues as other symptoms of a common cold to ensure that you have a medical need for a proposed purchase of PSE. If the pharmacist is not convinced that you have a legitimate need for PSE, he or she may ask you to visit a physician to determine whether a prescription product is more appropriate. Emergency Contraceptives You may also have heard about Plan B One-Step, a “morning after” hormone tablet that can be taken after unprotected sex to help prevent an unwanted pregnancy. It is available on a BTC basis for those aged 17 years and above. For younger patients, a prescription is required. In this case, pharmacists were again chosen to be the point of control to make sure that those too young to obtain an emergency contraceptive would see a physician instead of using it on their own. Pharmacy Request Cards If you have any questions regarding nonprescription drugs or products that are only available BTC, your pharmacist will be there to address any concerns. Some pharmacies even provide pharmacy request cards in the aisle that you can bring up to the counter to help facilitate the sale. Remember, if you have questions, Consult Your Pharmacist Steve Marshall, Shaunna Rechsteiner-Pharmacists

FYI PANGUITCH
by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com The big happening this week is the Christmas in the Country on Saturday. It starts off with a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus. They will arrive by Fire Engine at the Social Hall at 10 am. Bring your Kids or Grandkids, there will treats for all. Don’t forget your camera for some picture taking moments. Sub for Santa will be there and you can get a list if you need a little help this Christmas. Santa will then go down to the Care Center to bring gifts to those that are there. The patients love having visitors, so if you are looking for something to do for the Holiday Season, go over and visit or read to these charming people. The Merchant Drawing will begin at 1 pm. also at the Social Hall and is always a crowd pleaser. There will be plenty of great prizes and it is always fun when your number is drawn—you must be present to win. Make sure that you get your tickets when you make a local purchase. Shopping local keeps the money in town. Come back again to the Social Hall for the Great Chocolate Fest, at 6 pm. There will be all kinds of goodies. Just a thought: “Wheat for Man” D&C 89:17; “Chocolate for Women” M&M 12:24. The evening will be alive with a lot of local talent. Treats are 3 for $5.00 (a real bargain) and the entertainment is free. All proceeds will go to the Sub for Santa fund. Hope the fellow Lions en-
joyed last Monday night’s dinner. The meal was provided by Greg and Claudia Payne and was it great. Music was presented by Janis and V Henrie and V as usually was the 5 golden ring singer. The Lions Club is the only benevolent foundation in the area and all of the money that is collected from their breakfasts, can collections, luncheons and demolition derby, goes directly back into the community. If you would like to get involved in these fun events, contact a Club Member, some of us are getting a little long in the tooth and would really welcome the help. The different Wards in Town are having their annual Christmas dinners at this time of year. These are fun evenings and a lot of good company, there is always plenty to eat and the kids provide the entertainment. Bring your friends and neighbors. The more the merrier. Arty Roe Davis’ family gave her a surprise birthday party last Saturday at the Senior Center. I can’t figure out how Arty allowed her grandkids to blind fold her. They told her that they were taking her to a special place for dinner and didn’t want her to know where it was, they drove her all over town to give her the idea they were taking her a long ways. Boy was she surprised when they took off the blindfold and sang happy birthday. Ardith is one of the Chefs at the Senior Center and is an expert chocolate candy maker, she stays
young keeping busy. Last November 15th was the 37th Annual Great American Smokeout. It is a date that smokers are encouraged to give up the tobacco habit. 45 million Americans still smoke and 4.5 million are over the age of 65. It is estimated that between 1995 and 2015, that tobacco-related diseases will cost Medicare nearly $800 billion. Understanding the risks of smoking and quitting are two different things. Many smokers have tried numerous times to quit often slipping back into old patterns when a health threat dissipates or stressful situation arise. For those of you that are on Medicare that would like to quit, you can get two cessation attempts per year from a qualified physician or Medicarerecognized practitioner. By doing so, smokers will be tak-
ing an important step towards a healthier life and one that can lead to reducing cancer risk and heart disease. There are signs and there are signs. The new direction signs that have been installed in Town on Center and Main are great,.If the tourist or travelers can’t figure out where they are going now, there is no hope for them. However billboard signs do nothing for our beautiful scenery and when we were traveling over to Cedar they were tearing two of these ugly signs down, much to my happiness. On our return, after dark the sign people were putting up two more signs across the way on 89. One of these signs is close to the UHP Troopers Memorials, how sad. Stay well till next week. Mack O.

by Marlene Haws ~ 826-4859 • marleneh@color-country.net Griffin came over from Henrieville to join in and stayed an extra day or two. Grandpa Wade even took the kids sleigh riding on the back of the four wheeler. Now I don’t know what he used for snow, you would have to ask him! I talked to Leslie Venuti in the store and she said she would not have all her kids home, but it still looked like a bunch to me! I had Jon and Jillyn Sorensen and family, Salina, at my house, along with Brandon and Sarina Haws and 4 children, St. George. Brent and Patrice Cottam had the families of Reggie and Shondelle Gillins, Cedar City, and Nathan and Elisa Lyman, Kanab. Chad and Jordon Cottam spent the holiday with the family of Donny and Cindy Leach in Panguitch. Ryan and Tari Cottam spent most of the holiday in Panguitch. First with Tari’s grandma, Luana Riddle, who was in the hospital, then after having some of her Feltner family here on Thanksgiving, Tari spent a night in the hospital herself. With the help of antibiotics she is back home and feeling better. Myron and Sannette Cottam had part of their family here also. Jared and Jenifer Smith and family and Russell and Carol Sorenson and part of their family were here to eat dinner with Margo Smith and Pratt and Arcola gates. Have you ever noticed how deafening the silence can be after you have had a house full, then they all leave? My mom always said it was like taking all the furniture out of the house! Pat and Bobbi Coughlin took a Pre-Thanksgiving trip to Holden, Utah to pick up a birthday gift for their granddaughter. You’ll never guess what it was.!?! An Alpaca mama and her 3 week old baby! They delivered it, went to two football games to watch their grandson play, in St. George. Went Christmas shopping then came home to stay and cooked all day on

ESCALANTE News
I’M BACK! I left on Saturday after Thanksgiving and went to Salina with my daughter, Jillyn Sorensen and family for a little break! Got to watch my granddaughters play basketball, did some Christmas shopping and my son, Robert, picked me up on Thursday and brought me back home. I want to thank those who had e-mails waiting for me when I got back, that will really help with the news for this week. Escalante has had it’s share of sad news this past ten days or so. Condolences first to Brenda Gates and extended family at the passing of Ron Gates, 62, on November 18th. Condolences to Jake Leibenguth and Kathy and Terry Dutton and their extended families at the passing of their daughter Trenadie Leibenguth, 29, on November 21st. She was in a car accident in Pennsylvania. Condolences to the extended family of Richard Lewis griffin, 62, of Lindon, Utah. He passed away on November 21, and was a son of Jean and the late Lewis Griffin. Richard has six brothers and one sister. Gary Griffin, who lives here in the home of his grandparents, Lorenzo and Ruth Griffin, is his brother. Nancy Carol Shurtz Krogh Roundy passed away November 18, in Nephi, Utah. She was a granddaughter of Ambrose and Clarice Shurtz and lived here with them while attending elementary school. She married Ferrell Glade Roundy on July 31, 2008. He preceded her in death February 21, 2010. “Death brings heartache no one can heal, but Love brings memories no one can steal.” Now back to things we can be thankful for: Wade and Shelley Barney had their whole family here the weekend before Thanksgiving. Due to work schedules, etc. that was a better time for them to get together for Thanksgiving dinner and a reunion. Grandma Berthene

Thanksgiving, just for the two of them. Bobbi said her assistant (Pat) kept limping around on a bad knee but was still a lot of help. Ridiculous isn’t it? How we cook all day and it takes less than fifteen minutes to eat it! Kathleen and Warren Woolsey came from Cedar City to spend Thanksgiving with Thelma Marsh. They brought the whole dinner with them. They also invited Sharon Dale Marsh to come and eat with them. Logan McLemore will be home by the time you read this. He has been on a LDS Mission in Chicago, Illinois. He will report in the Escalante First Ward sacrament meeting on Sunday, December 9th, 2012. Logan is a son of Marc and Susann McLemore. The McLemores have been in Bear Lake, Idaho this week visiting with another son, Nathan and Julie McLemore. They will be seeing their little 4 week old granddaughter, Miriam, and their 2 year old granddaughter, JoAnn, who is scheduled for a kidney operation at the primary Children’s Hospital. This operation is to correct something that she apparently had at birth but it is just now surfacing. We wish her well and a speedy recovery. Congratulations to Erica Woolsey and Travis Shakespear on their engagement. Brett Palmer and Travis are friends and Brooke Palmer and Erica are friends and they will be living neighbors to each other in Henrieville after the Shakespear wedding. How neat is that? We are glad that Elaine Lott is okay after her wreck on Cedar Mountain. She hit some black ice and rolled her vehicle. Another testament that seat belts save lives! Another lady who wrecked around that time in about the same area wasn’t so lucky. The Escalante High School Wrestling Season is now in full swing. This year they have five wrestlers. Four of the five traveled to Wayne High School on November 20th for their first tournament.
Since they had only been in practice for two weeks, they did very well coming home with three second placers! The coaches and team are looking forward to the season. They have been to a tournament in Panguitch since then and will have one in Escalante on January 5th, so remember that. They would probably be very pleased to get some support. I hear the girls won their first basketball game, but I wasn’t here so I don’t know who they played. Maybe they will start sending some news soon. Happy birthday to Beth Smith! She turned 87 on December 3, 2012. Time really flies when you are having fun doesn’t it, Beth! Just a report on Mark Griffin: He is now able to stay off the ventilator all day and hopes to be able to go back to St. George by the end of the year! He gets around by himself in a motor chair, he is able to use the head controls and learning the joy stick with the movement he has in his right arm. He is starting to get some feeling in his feet and from his head down to the middle of his torso. Tina, Mark’s wife, has been running back and forth these past three months or so. With Mark in Salt Lake and her mom in the hospital in Las Vegas. Her mom passed away with leukemia on November 24th. Our sincere condolences to her. She now has a friend who is putting together a benefit for Mark. If you have questions or want to help in any way you can call Rachel at 435-680-3061. We hope the new year will be better to them than this one has been. The shop class at Escalante High School has constructed 2 storage sheds that they would like to sell to the public. The sheds are 8’ x 12’ and can be seen at the school. Any questions call Layne LeFevre at 435-531-0405.

I want to work with patients who have been diagnosed with hypertension, arthritis, diabetes, suffered from strokes, or other such conditions. I will work with the patient to put together a wellness plan for improving their health, helping them to become as healthy as possible. Improvements with a person’s nutrition or exercise routine may reverse much of the damage caused from unhealthy decisions. Q: What makes Wayne County a great place to do business? A: The people for sure! They are so eager and willing to learn, they just lack the conversion. Once they see how much an exercise routine improves their health, even enabling some to cut back on prescriptions, they are converted.

Practical Money Matters
Understanding 401(k) Fees If you’re like many Americans – 71 percent, according to an AARP survey – you might be under the impression that your 401(k) plan administrator doesn’t charge you anything to maintain your account. You’d be wrong. In fact, these companies typically charge fees equivalent to 0.5 to 2 percent of your account balance each year – sometimes as high as 5 percent. In addition to ongoing tariffs for managing your investment options, plan administrators often deduct numerous other fees from individuals’ accounts, including charges for administrative costs, sales commissions, advertising, insurance, and trading expenses. Perhaps equally disturbing is that many employers – which have a fiduciary responsibility to ensure the retirement plans they sponsor have reasonable fees and expenses – often don’t know what fees their employees are being charged either. Over time, out-of-control fees can take a serious toll. The
by Jason Alderman Department of Labor estimates that paying just 1 percent in extraneous fees each year could reduce your account balance by 28 percent during an average working career. Finding – let alone understanding – such fee disclosures can be time-consuming and often involves wading through complex plan documents. That’s why last year, the Labor Department issued regulations requiring fund administrators to provide a more transparent breakdown of their fees to employers, which in turn must pass the information along to employees. During the first disclosure phase, investment companies were required to send a detailed statement about their plan’s investment options, including fund performance and fees. You should have received this information from your employer by August 31, 2012. This statement, which will hereafter be sent annually, should include: An explanation of any fees and expenses for general
plan administration, such as legal, accounting and recordkeeping services. Total annual operating expenses expressed as a percentage of account assets and a dollar amount per $1,000 invested. An explanation of fees and expenses incurred based on your actions (e.g., trading fees, loans, service charges for low balances, hardship withdrawals, processing divorce decrees or qualified domestic relations orders, etc.) The historical performance of each fund in which you invest (at 1, 5 and 10 years, and since the fund’s inception.) Benchmark performance – for example, if you invest in an S&P index fund, it should be compared to the average expense ratios for the S&P 500 over the same periods. The second phase of fund disclosure was the release of quarterly performance statements tied to your particular investment accounts. The first of these statements was for July 1 – September 30, 2012,

and most people should have received theirs by mid-November. It should include specific dollar amounts of plan-related expenses or fees charged to or deducted from your accounts that quarter, along with a detailed description of the related services. For many, these statements are a wake-up call for why they need to choose investment options more carefully. They won’t do all the work: You’ll still need to crunch the numbers on how your current investment choices stack up against other funds. And no piece of paper can determine your appetite for risk vs. reward. But they’re a start. The DOL hopes that by shining daylight on 401(k) plan costs, employers will be motivated to rein in costs and seek better investment options for employees – and that employees will be more inclined to seek out the most cost-effective funds for their retirement savings.
