Recycle that Tree!
Local Business Offers Christmas Tree Recycling
Deck the Halls
Insider
ESCALANTE - Escalante's People's Exchange building, one block off Main St. on 100 North, has been dressed up in elegant Christmas fashion for the holiday. Escalante residents Larry and Louise Barnes, who co-own the building with Howard Hutchison, have for several years taken painstaking efforts to restore the building and this year's lighting and decorations really make it pop! The People's Exchange is just across from Escalante's city park, where volunteers have also done a full-stop job of lighting up the park's trees. With the warmish weather Escalante residents can regularly be seen in the park during evening hours to enjoy the holiday decorations. —Insider
BOULDER - For residents of Boulder and Escalante looking for a gentler or more useful end for their Christmas tree than the dumpster or landfill, a local business in Boulder will recycle your tree into essential oils. The U.S. Forest Service is actively coordinating local recycling of Christmas trees. “As part of our job with the Dixie we give out permits for Christmas trees and we want to make people aware of recycling options,” says Holly Hadley, who works with the Dixie National Forest in Cedar City. But while most recycled Christmas trees end up in compost or chipping operations, the House of Aromatics in Boulder will distill the leaves and twigs of your tree into a pure 100% essential oil and that can be added to a cosmetic product, a soap or a perfume, or used itself as a therapeutic medicine. “When we heard about Eric’s operation we were really excited about it, and wanted to let people know about it,” said Hadley. Eric Scott, owner and operator of House of Aromatics says, “Being able to a recycle a Christmas tree through the distillation process into an essential oil that has myriad uses is quite satisfying. A part of the holiday experience sort of goes with the aroma of those trees in a little bottle.” Eric began collecting down and damaged trees
A Special Tribute to the Wayne County Community's Business and Civic Leaders
by Michelle Coleman, Wayne County Economic Development Director Last week we shared a story about this year's Six County Association of Governments Awards Ceremony and Banquet held on December 3rd in Richfield and each of the regional leaders who earned awards. The "Six Counties" association represents Juab, Millard, Piute, Sanpete and Wayne Counties. This week, Wayne County Economic Development Director Michelle Coleman shares a special tribute to this year's Wayne County leadership and local business who earned this year's awards.

uring the Decmber 3rd Six County Association of Governments Award Ceremony & Banquet in Richfield, Wayne County Commissioners DeRae Fillmore, Rob Williams, Newell Harward selected Loa Town for the Six County Association of Governments Regional Beautification Award. Loa Town Mayor Jeff Olsen & wife Christine Olsen attended and received this award December 3, 2014 in Richfield Utah. One big factor in contributing to economic success is providing an environment that is attractive to business growth and development. To encourage local officials within the Six County region to beautify their communities and make their cities and towns more inviting for business expansion and development, the Region recognizes a city or town each year for attaining and working toward meeting their beautification goals and objectives. This year we are pleased to present the “Six County Regional Beautification Award” to Loa Town. Around 10 years ago, Loa Town envisioned a project that would not only beautify their downtown but memorialize those who served this great nation in the armed forces. They

As they identified their objectives to meet this great undertaking, they soon realized patience and perseverance as the land - offering the ideal location for the park - was not immediately available for purchase. Not losing sight of their goal, they started fund raising and planning for the memorial. Over a ten year period they

were able to raise $200,000 through donations, fund raisers, and contributions from the American Legion, Wayne County Special Service District, Mormon Pioneer Heritage Foundation, and Loa Town. They purchased the land, developed a park, and constructed a magnificent veteran’s memorial. Loa Town’s future beautification plans are to provide landscaping to the park including trees and picnic tables. The Veteran’s Memorial Park truly enhances Loa’s Main Street

We commend Loa Town for their beautification efforts and present them with the Six County Regional Traveling Trophy—which they get to enjoy for a year. They were also presented with a plaque recognizing their beautification accomplishments which reads, “In recognition of continual progress towards meeting community goals and objectives resulting in the completion of the Veteran’s Memorial Park which honors Wayne County veterans.”

llett Service & Distribution, owned by Lamont, Karen, Gordon & Taunee Ellett was selected by county leaders as the 2014 Wayne County Business of the Year because of their efforts to find ways to expand their business as wekk as create abd retain jobs for residents of Wayne County. When the doors to this business open and you are the lucky one walking through them, you can find a friendly smile on the other side of the counter along with the cheery words, “what can we do for you today!” The Ellett family provides great service and customer care and gives back to the community— from serving as a Wrestling Coach for the high school to an EMT on the County EMS team. You can also see beautiful hand crafted quilts in and around different venues being auctioned off for fund raisers that have been crafted and donated by Karen. Ellett Service & Distribution was established in 1953 by Neldon Ellett in Loa. Lamont worked for his uncle Neldon while attending high school. After graduation he worked in Salt Lake City for a year and then returned home to work at Ellett Service in 1958,with two full time employees. The business started out on the east side of Hwy 24 and in 1955 the new service station was built on the west side of Hwy 24 in Loa. Lamont leased the service station for several years before he and his son Gordon purchased Ellett Service in 1985. Gordon and Taunee lived in Salt Lake City and owned their own siding business when the opportunity came for them to return home and go into business with
their father, Lamont. Over the years there were minor changes made to the station; brands changed a few times and adjustments were made as the business grew. In 2005, plans were made for an addition of a 60’x120’ shop. This expansion has made it possible to service the vehicles of Wayne County and the hundreds of tourists that pass through each year. They now have seven full time employees – customers can receive a full service gas stop, while they can go inside and enjoy the C-Store for treats and drinks for the road. They have added a new four bay shop for oil changes, and service engines, they repair tires and place new ones. They have a wide range of stock tires, they do alignments with the most up-todate alignment machine, they do farm equipment repairs, custom exhaust work, replace batteries, fill propane tanks, they do state inspections and offer bulk fuel & oil delivery. They employ their two oldest sons where one is licensed in motorcycle mechanics and can do repairs on any small motor and the other has received a degree in custom welding. Gordon says that tourism is a part of their business, but what has kept Ellett Service in business over the past 60 years is the local businesses, logging, ranching, building & trade, construction, and individual patronage…and they appreciate their customers. Wayne County is pleased to honor Ellett Service & Distribution with this prestigious award. Congratulations, Lamont, Karen, Gordon & Taunee for being selected as Wayne County’s 2014 Business of the Year!

HHS Awards $295,869 in Affordable Care Act Funding to Reward and Expand Quality Improvement in Utah Health Centers Wayne Community Health Center Awarded Funding in Two Project Categories WASHINGTON, DC Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell announced last week $295,869 in Affordable Care Act funding to 11 health centers in Utah to recognize health center quality improvement achievements and invest in ongoing quality improvement activities. Among the recipients of the funding is Bicknell's Wayne Community Health Center, which received a total grant award of $21,808. In a statement last week the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services stated that Utah health centers receiving awards were chosen for their leadership in areas such as chronic disease management, preventive care and the use of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) to report quality data. “This funding rewards Utah health centers that have a proven track record in clinical quality improvement,
which translates to better patient care, and it allows them to expand and improve their systems and infrastructure to bring the highest quality primary care services to the communities they serve,” said Secretary Burwell. “With these funds, health centers in Utah will continue to provide access to high quality, comprehensive primary and preventive health care to the patients that need it the most.” Utah Health centers receiving these funds are being recognized for high levels of quality performance in one or more of the following categories. • Health center quality leaders received awards if they were among the top 30 percent of all health centers that achieved the best overall clinical outcomes, demonstrating their ability to focus on quality in all aspects of their clinical operations; 3 Utah health cen-
ters received funding in this category for approximately $86,810. • Clinical quality improvers received awards if they demonstrated at least a 10 percent improvement in clinical quality measures between 2012 and 2013, showing a significant improvement in the health of the patients they serve; 11 Utah health centers received funding in this category for approximately $149,058. • Electronic Health Record reporters received funding if they used EHRs to report clinical quality measure data on all of their patients, a key transformational step in driving quality improvement for all health center patients across the nation; 4 Utah health centers received funding in this category for approximately $60,000. The Wayne Community Health Center received $15,000 in the EHR reporters
category and $6,808 in the Clinical Quality Improvers category. “These funds reward and support those health centers that have taken steps to achieve the highest levels of clinical quality performance and improvement,” said Health and Resources Administration (HRSA) Administrator Mary K. Wakefield, Ph.D., R.N. In Utah, 13 HRSA-supported health centers operate more than 40 service delivery sites that provide care to nearly 123,116 patients. Nationally, nearly 1,300 HRSAsupported health centers operate more than 9,200 service delivery sites that provide care to nearly 22 million patients in every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Basin. —Insider
Intermountain Hospitals Limit Visitors to Ages 14 and Older to Prevent Spread of Flu-Like Illness CEDAR CITY - Because of an increase in flu-like illnesses in the state, Valley View Medical Center is restricting visitors to age 14 and older as a precautionary measure to protect patients and the public. This is in accordance with all Intermountain hospitals, who are enforcing the same visitor restrictions to ages 14 and older. Hospital leaders are also joining with representatives from the Southwest Utah Public Health Department to encourage all community residents to take measures to prevent the spread of flu-like illness on an ongoing basis. These measures include washing hands and using hand sanitizer, covering coughs and sneezes, and staying home when ill. “The reason we are limiting visitors to 14 years of age or older is as a precaution to prevent the spread of flu-like illness, in accordance with
the Southwest Utah Public Health Department, the state health department, as well all of Intermountain,” says Cyndi Wallace, Valley View Medical Center Director of Nursing. “This restriction is important for a few reasons. First, those ages 14 and younger are often more widely exposed to viruses, like at school, and carry those viruses with them. Second, most healthy people have an immune system that can fight those viruses, however a hospital often has patients with compromised immune systems. Third, there has been an increase of viral illnesses in our state. Our main priority is to protect our patients and these restrictions will help us do that. We have an ongoing plan in place to respond to measurable data related to flu-like illness.” The plan includes the following: • No one under the age of 14 should come to Valley
View Medical Center unless they are here for a medical reason. • People of all ages with fever, cough, headache, fatigue, runny or stuffy nose, or body aches should not come to the hospital unless they are here as a patient. Patients with these symptoms will be asked to wear a mask. Janet Malachowski, Infection Control and Prevention Nurse at Valley View, says “We’re committed to doing all that we can to provide our patients and staff a safe environment to heal and to work in. We recognize that these restrictions may be inconvenient for some, but we ask that people follow these visitation guidelines so that we can reduce the risk of spreading
influenza-like illness and seasonal flu inside our hospitals.” Additionally, all community residents should take the following preventive measures on an ongoing basis to prevent the spread of illness: • Wash hands with warm water and soap or use hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available. • Cover coughs and sneezes. Use a tissue or your upper sleeve. Put the used tissue in a wastebasket. “We will continue to monitor flu and respiratory illness trends,” says Cyndi. “Visitor restrictions will continue until after the flu season is over and we see a reduction in these flu-like symptoms in the state.” —Becki Bronson, Spokesperson for Valley View Medical Center

USU to YOU WAYNE COUNTY EXTENSION AND GARFIELD COUNTY EXTENSION
Trees Keep Record of Current and Historical Weather Patterns by Verl Bagley USU Extension - Wayne County Many long term residents of south central Utah may remember the stories told by older members of the area who were around during the late 1800’s and prior to 1960. Memorable accounts of deep snow and extreme winds may still linger in the memories of present day senior citizens. Trees do keep natural records of weather conditions that can be seen today based on the width of tree ring growth over time. Scant ring width reflects a very dry fall winter and spring. Very thick rings reflect an abundance of soil moisture in the spring. Spring growth of trees in south central Utah forests are seldom influenced by summer precipitation levels. Some local citizens probably remember the winter of 197677 and the spring of 1977. Dr. Charles W. Stockton, dendrologist at the University of Arizona told me that the decade of 1970 to 1980 was one of the most extended dry periods since 1700. However, one really productive year during that decade occurred in the winter of 1978-1979. Dr. Stockton’s documented data reported that the wettest period prior to 1931 was 1914, 1915, and 1916. The driest period was 1846, 1847 and 1848. The driest single year was measured to be 1934 and the second driest was 1757. Though his reported data did not include the 1970’s, Stockton also said, during a phone call, that the period 1900 to 1930 was one of the “wettest extended wet periods since 1700.” Be aware that Stockton’s data was not limited to Arizona only. His data collection included samples from adjoining states. One thing is certain when it comes to precipitation in south central Utah. When we talk about average weather for Wayne, Garfield and Piute Counties we may be talking about an occurrence that may never be witnessed.

Report shows more options and savings for Utah consumers who shop in the Health Insurance Marketplace in 2015 Nearly 8 in 10 current Marketplace customers can get coverage for $100 or less per month after any applicable tax credits in 2015 New choices and more competition in the Health Insurance Marketplace are giving Utah consumers affordable options during Open Enrollment this year, and the majority of returning consumers who shop can save money on premiums, according to a report released by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). With 25 percent more issuers participating in the Marketplace in 2015, based on analysis of 35 states, more than 90 percent of consumers nationwide will be able to choose from three or more issuers—up from 74 percent in 2014. In Utah, consumers can choose from 6 issuers in the Marketplace in 2015. And Utah consumers can choose from an average of 69 health plans in their county for 2015 coverage —up from 55 in 2014. Nearly 8 in 10 current Marketplace consumers can find coverage in the 2015 Marketplace for $100 or less, taking into account any applicable tax credits. In 2014, 87 percent of Utah consumers who selected a Marketplace plan received financial assistance. For returning customers, it pays to shop. More than 7 in 10 current Marketplace enrollees can find a lower premium plan in the same metal level—before tax credits—by returning to shop. If all returning consumers switched from their current plan to the lowest-cost premium plan in the same metal level, the total savings in premiums would be over $2 billion. “The Health Insurance Marketplace is open for business, and Utah consumers have affordable choices for renewing their coverage and signing up for the first time,” said HHS Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell. “In today’s Marketplace, issuers are competing for business. With additional quality, affordable plans available, returning Utah customers may find an even better deal if they shop and save.” Today’s report finds that premiums for the secondlowest cost, or “benchmark,” silver plan held stable in Utah for 2015 coverage, with a 2 percent increase on average before tax credits. Nationally, premiums for the secondlowest cost, or “benchmark,” silver plan also held stable for 2015 coverage, with only a modest 2 percent increase on average before tax credits
in 35 states. Many consumers will be eligible for tax credits to help with the cost of monthly premiums. Before the Affordable Care Act, people who purchased health insurance plans in the individual market often saw double-digit rate increases on average, with very limited options for shopping around because plans could deny them coverage, or charge them higher rates based on pre-existing conditions or their gender. This year, consumers have the option to renew their current plan or shop around to select the plan that best meets their needs and their budget. And with the new window shopping tool at HealthCare.gov, it's easier than ever. Open Enrollment in the Marketplace runs from Nov. 15, 2014, through Feb. 15, 2015. Consumers should visit
HealthCare.gov to review and compare health plan options. All consumers shopping for health insurance coverage for 2015—even those who currently have coverage through the Marketplace—should enroll or re-enroll between Nov. 15 and Dec. 15 in order to have coverage effective on Jan. 1, 2015. Today’s report reflects individual market health plan premium data for 35 states. It does not include Oregon or Nevada, which are using the federal eligibility and enrollment platform this year, and other State-based Marketplaces. Findings are presented at the county level, rather than by rating area, to better reflect plan service areas and the consumer experience.

Merry Christmas!
Each year the Garfield School District encourages students to submit a Christmas card design for the cover of the District Christmas card. All districts throughout the state, as well as employees in the District receive the Christmas card with the original artwork printed on the cover. I would like to congratulate 8th grade Panguitch Middle School student, Athina Kremidas, for being selected as the winner of the District Christmas card contest. She was given a $50 amazon gift card and a copy of the final version of the card. I would like to thank all of the students who submitted their art work for the contest. It is very difficult to select just one card when we receive so many wonderful entries. During the month of December, all entries are displayed in the District Office. —Superintendent Ben Dalton At left: Garfield School Superindentent Ben Dalton poses with 8th Grade Panguitch Middle School Student Athina Kremidas and her winning Christmas Card design.

Lady Cats Trounce Pine View A much awaited game against a 3-A team Pine View was a fizzle. The Lady Cats blew them out in the first quarter, 34 to 1. The Ladies defense was stifling and Pine View didn’t score a basket till the 4 minute mark of the second quarter. The half time score was the Cats 62-7. And the 3rd quarter was 85 to 19, the crowd stayed around I believe to watch the girls hit the century mark. Whittni sank a couple of free throws to get the score to 101. Whittni and Catania had 14 steals between them in the first two quarters.

and 10 rebounds. Friday night it was more of the same, with Valley coming to town; 72 to 23 in another lopsided victory. Whittni almost had a triple double, 18 pts, 11 assists and nine boards; Taylor Bennett was high pointer with 19. The Lady Cats play Milford to night and then it’s off to the Mesquite tournament this weekend and hopefully some competition. The Bob Cats went up to Richfield for the 1A preview at SVC Arena. The Cats were locked in another defensive battle with Duchene and came away with a victory in a hard fought game, 39 to 36. Dason Houston led the scoring with 13 pts and Trey Barney had 12. Ion Anderson, the Cats
point guard is really impressive with his ball handling and quickness, helps break down the other teams defense. The Cats' Saturday game had it much easier, with a victory over Tabiona 44 to 26. Trey Barney came away with 18 points and led the Cats to a lopsided win. The Bob Cats are undefeated this year with 4 wins, two of them against 2 A schools. They go up against Enterprise on Dec. 17th and on the 19th they are at Piute, where it is always fun to go watch games. The Wrestling Cats went to Gunnison and beat them, I don’t know how they did at the Juab Duel Tournament but if I hear I will put it in next week's column.

Last week, theater students of Wayne High School performed the play: “Bad Auditions by Bad Actors.” The play was directed by the school’s music teacher, Mr. Malmrose. The play focuses on newbie director Carol, who has one day to find the leads for a community theater production of Romeo and Juliet. But what seems like a simple task proves impossible when the pool of auditions includes extreme mannered actors, performers who just don't know how to channel their rage, and one woman who may or may not think she's a cat. Thanks to their steady stream of talent, not a minute went by without laughter in the audience. Congratulations to everyone who took part in the production process! The audience had a wonderful time. Sage Blackburn is a senior at Wayne High School.

Hoofbeats News From Bryce Valley High by John Cloud
Hello again all! Another week gone, and things are still going well! We had a couple of games this week, most notably against Parowan and Milford, and our Wrestling team is still doing quite well. Students are in a veritable panic as the last week of the semester approaches, although many Ednet students are rejoicing (and weeping) since the Finals are finally over. Many students are in a mad rush to finish assignments and get them handed in, while the generally apathetic stare on with a mildly amused shrug. Debate is going well, entering into congress, and the school is slowly learning how to use the 3D printer (we actually got the scanner to turn on-Wahoo!) and the Plasma cutter. All of the students are for the most part engrossed in their own projects, picking up little side skills while they (supposedly) Learn things. Yearbook students are banging their heads against the desks (and walls) as they try to figure out how to piece together all of their pictures, randomly assembled pages, and the actual official pages together into something that actually fits together, and ultimately have been frustrated in this regard. Another long, agonizing week (and a random /extremely pointless and agonizing Monday), and it is Christmas! See ya all soon! John Cloud is a senior at Bryce Valley High School.

This past week at PES the 2nd-6th grade classes participated in the Hour of Code. It was our school’s first time participating. Mrs. Caine, from Panguitch High School, introduced the Hour of Code to the high school and middle school students last year. Inspired by her enthusiasm, we decided to give it a try. Our computer classes have been learning how to code by using computer science and technology to learn. It’s very fun, and even if you’re eight years old, you can do it. Over 59 million students have participated in the Hour of Code. We want to make sure that the students at PES are ready for the future. If you see any PES students around town, ask them about it.

tHe lAuGhiNg Grace pOiNt!!
Saying Grace at mealtime was a tradition at Grandma's house. At breakfast, lunch and supper, all who gathered around the table would bow their heads to give blessing for the food they were about to eat. Much to Grandma's sadness, this tradition was not brought to our home by my mother, so as a three-year-old, the practice of saying Grace was very confusing to me. Mother embarrassingly recalls that once, while Grandma rambled through one of her lengthy mealtime blessing and thanks, I asked in a rather loud voice, "Why is Grandma talking to her plate?"
The Scale
Having avoided the scale for a few years, my husband finally got up the nerve to climb aboard. Unable to read the numbers, he got off the scale to grab his eyeglasses and stepped back on. "What do you know?" he called out. "These glasses weigh 50 pounds."
Why I am Not a Chef
I decided I would have just one sweet treat for the holidays - the easiest ever fudge recipe I have seen - 3 ingredients: white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips and a can of sweetened condensed milk. 1. Open white chocolate chip bag too fast and chips fly around the kitchen. 2. Heat white chips apparently too fast over what I thought was a low flame and they start to singe. 3. Rapidly grab can to add the milk, flip open can and realize it is a can of Campbell's Bean Soup. 4. Put can aside for lunch, locate milk can and flip open that can and add to chips on the stove. 5. Since chips are now way too "cooked", rapidly stir milk and end up with a really thick lumpy concoction. 6. Put half in pan, add 1/2 dark chips. 7. Top with other half of white chips - the top lump won't spread over the bottom half. 8. Over large lump in pan put the rest of the dark chips. 9. Wait one minute to swirl the mixture. 10. Mixture is now too cool and very solid and won't swirl. 11. End result - pan of hard white chips covered by unmelted dark chips.
New Christmas Trend
I read this in the Wall Street Journal: The new trend in Christmas cards this year are "DVD cards" - instead of a letter about your family and what you did this year, you put your yearly memories on a DVD which I really enjoy getting; you know why? They make great coasters.

Practical Money Matters
IRS Pension Update: New Limits for 2015 Is it ever too late to plan for retirement? No, as long as you're willing to be thrifty and extend your working years and be mindful of your individual and employer-based retirement savings options. Building a successful, comfortable retirement depends on a variety of individual factors, including where you live, how long you plan to work, your health and your other investments and assets. The IRS recently announced an update for your options, including cost-of-living adjustments that will give many taxpayers the advantage of putting more away during 2015. Here's a summary: • Regular contribution limits for 401(k), 403(b), most 457 plans, and the federal employee Thrift Savings Plan. Increased from $17,500 (for tax year 2014) to $18,000 (for tax year 2015). The catch-up contribution limit for employees aged 50 in these plans is increased from $5,500 to $6,000. Contribution deadline: Dec. 31. • Annual contribution limits, Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA). For both traditional and Roth IRAs, the annual contribution limit is not subject to a cost-ofliving adjustment and remains at $5,500. The over50 catch-up contribution amount is $1,000. There are particular restrictions (http:// www.irs.gov/publications/ p590/index.html) based on income levels, workplace retirement plan coverage among other issues. Contribution deadline: April 15. • Higher 2015 income phase-out levels for traditional IRA contributions. For singles covered by a workplace retirement plan, the 2015 cutoff is now increased to a modified adjusted gross income (AGI) between $61,000 and $71,000. The IRS website details other significant increases and updates in phase-out
by Jason Alderman levels for married couples and singles. • Higher 2015 income phase-out levels for Roth IRA contributions. The IRS website also updates higher phase-out levels for married and single taxpayers on its website. For married couples filing jointly, the 2015 level is now $183,000 to $193,000. Here's what you can do if you're in your 50s and you haven't yet saved much for retirement: • Get qualified financial advice. Organizations such as the Association for Financial Counseling Planning and Education (http:// members.afcpe.org/search), Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards list qualified financial advisors, and your state CPA society can suggest tax professionals in your area. • Budget and downsize. Want to retire? Start living like a retiree while you're still working. Most experts believe late starters (50 and over) need to put away at least 10 percent of gross income to start making headway. Create a realistic budget, trim debt and consider
cheaper housing, transportation and lifestyle options. • Take advantage of "catchup" contribution limits. Retirement savers over the age of 50 have the option to put more away not only in traditional and Roth IRAs but also 401(k) plans – not including SIMPLE 401(k)s, 403(b) plans, SARSEP and 457(b) plans (see Annual contribution limits, IRAs above). • Keep working…strategically. If you're lucky, you love your work or are in a position to change careers to one with better retirement savings options. If so, consult an expert on ways to keep earning and investing effectively. Bottom line: The government's cost-of-living adjustments will allow you to save more for retirement in 2015, but don't wait until then to evaluate your goals to set – or reset – your retirement planning going forward.

OBITUARIES Heidi Scholzen
On December 9, 2014 Heidi Dalton Scholzen (39) left this earthly life and returned home to be with her Heavenly Father. Heidi was born March 13, 1975 in Kanab, Utah to Bonnie and Bruce Dalton of Panguitch, Utah. She was one of 6 children, therefore she learned early in life to hold her own. She was a vivacious cheerleader for the Panguitch Bobcats, graduating from Panguitch High School in 1993. After high school she attended cosmetology school in St George, Utah. While attending school she met the love of her life, Jeffrey Nick Scholzen of Hurricane, Utah. Jeff and Heidi were married in the St George LDS Temple for all eternity on April 15, 1995. This union was full of love for the next 19 years. Their children are McKyla Danielle (18), Miranda Hope (15), McKenzie Jane (13), and Grant Jeffrey (9). Heidi lived a very exuberant life. Many of her clients would stop by to get their hair cut to just to talk with her. Her cute small town accent would help her with any conversation whether it was about deer hunting or anything else, while her beauty and whit could keep the attention of a Major League Baseball executive, as her smile was infectious. She loved to travel with Jeff on his assignments as a professional baseball scout and showed her endless support for her family and others. Although her paying job was “cutting hair and coloring hair”, her volunteer profession was that of a taxi cab driver for her four children, their friends and anyone else in need. Heidi’s taxi driving let her to numerous games as she supported her daughters in cheerleading, coached her daughter on teams and watched her son Grant’s baseball tournaments. Heidi would immerse herself in everything that she got involved in. She enjoyed running and going to the gym, but was never sorry she ate the whole bowl of chips and salsa. Since Heidi was the “life of the party”, her house was always full of people. Although the only thing she ever wanted to do was snuggle up with Jeff watching TV, she believed in being a care giver to all, and the party was always at her house. She had a sincere love and interest in others, and they in turn loved her. It was very touching to read the many heartwarming posts written about her. She truly has made an impact with her love and helping others. This faithful devotion to others carried over in her spiritual life. She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and lived its teachings. No one who came in contact with Heidi can ever forget how warm and good she made them feel. She was robbed of old age in mortality, but lived the 39 years she was given to its fullest. Heidi has always taught her children to live worthy to return home to our Heavenly Father, and now she will be waiting there for them. Heidi is survived by her husband Jeffrey Nick Scholzen, her children McKyla Danielle, Miranda Hope, McKenzie Jane and Grant Jeffrey. She is also survived by her parents Bruce and Bonnie Dalton, her brothers and sisters: Kimberly (Scott) Campbell, Blake (Alicia) Dalton, Gaylen (Becky) Dalton, Brett (Kesia) Dalton and Emily (Kalvin) Staheli; Jeff’s family: Nick and Erroleen Scholzen, Darin (Sharyn) Scholzen, Jeremy (Laurie) Scholzen, Heidi (Nick) Wright, Jimmy (Brooke) Scholzen. She was preceded in death by her grandparents Grant and Hope Dalton, John and Doragene Bailey, her nephews: Mky Ebbie and Noah Dalton. Also her husband’s brother Danny Scholzen. Funeral services were held Saturday, December 13, 2014 in Santa Clara, Utah. Interment at the Hurricane Utah City Cemetery. Please consider, in lieu of flowers, donating to the Heidi Dalton Scholzen Medical Fund at Zions Bank. Arrangements under the care of McMillan Mortuary 435688-8880.

FYI PANGUITCH
As usual the weather is the main topic again this week, it’s December and we are still getting rain, this time there was a little snow mixed in with the moisture though. Pat and I were in St. George shopping for Santa and it started raining and it really came down, all up I-15 to Cedar City. I can see why there are so many accidents on that stretch of the freeway, the truck ruts fill up with rain and you are doing a lot of hydroplaning. If they were filled with ice it would have been a really bad situation, fortunately we have 4 wheel drive and we drove much slower to Cedar. We hit a lot of snow going over Highway 20, finally after a year and a half we got to use our 4 wheel drive and motored right up the hill. Lo and behold when we got to the top, Garfield Co. snow plows had been there and the road had been plowed and it was easy going down to 89. However there were 6 or 7 trucks that were stuck near the top, I don’t know what they did when they got to the top and had to go back down through all of that snow. California which is in their worse drought in 120 years got quite a bit of rain to ease a little of their problems. Last week were the Relief Society’s Christmas parties. The 1st and 2nd Ward combined theirs and had a real big turn out, for soup and salad dinner and a treat of a lot of Nativity scenes. The 3rd Ward had Mexican food that I was told was excellent and they also had a good turn out. This week will be the 1st

Ward Christmas party, the last of the ward parties. Hopefully you were able to attend one of them. There were lots of city, county, school and organization parties. You just can’t have enough parties this time of year. Where did the year go? There are only a couple of weeks to the New Years Eve Party, which will again be held at the Triple C Arena. The cost is $5.00 a person and boy do you get your monies worth, plenty of food, entertainment and games to bring in 2015. This is really a fun family evening with stuff to do for all ages. Since the City started this event we haven’t had anyone arrested for partying out of control. This was Panguitch’s 150 Birthday party all year long. It started with a party in March and banners all over town announcing the event. Many of the events that went on during the year had a Sesquicentennial theme attached to them. Many thanks to all of those that helped make this a fun year. The Panguitch Lions Club is celebrating its 85 birthday, the Club was founded on Dec. 29th 1929. No, no Art Cooper wasn’t an original Lions Club member, but his dad was. The Lions Club is a vital part of Panguitch, they have donated money back into the town, that was raised with their breakfasts and other endeavors, at over $200,000 over the years. There is still time to sign up for affordable care. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services announced
last week that U.S. healthcare spending grew at 3.6 %, in 2013. That’s the slowest growth rate on record since 1960. That is half the average annual increase during the 2001 to 2009 years. The ACA isn’t the whole reason; the continued recovery from the recession really helps. Another reason is that the number of uninsured Americans dropped from 21 percent to 13 percent. In California alone, 3.4 million people who didn’t have health insurance before sign-ups last fall are now covered. Oil is still going down, last Friday it was at $57 a Barrel. I found mid grade gas at COSTCO in St. George, $2.49 a gallon, however up in Richfield it also was $2.49. Station owners get a boost from lower gas prices, when they lower their prices with the surrounding areas. Their cost are down from the refinery and with more consumers not shopping around for lower prices, they sell a lot more food items. We went up to Richfield to watch the boys basketball
game. After the game, on our way downtown, we came across a lot of lighted floats waiting in line. We went down Main, four or five blocks and parked and were treated to a great light show parade. The fire engines were shooting off fire works, and the welding class from Snow College had great sparks coming from their float. The parade lasted about 30 minutes and was terrific, it is an annual event, so put it on your bucket list, it is well worth the drive. There was a big rush for weddings on last Saturday; it was one of those dates that will be easy to remember, 12-13-14. It is still not too late to get your list into Sub for Santa give Santa a call at (676-2418) for a list. Santa would like to thank all of Panguitch for their generous donations for this worthy cause. The city is all decked out with boughs of holly and lights. Thank to all who have made this season so special. Remember Christ is the reason for the Season! Mack O.
