Eisenhower PANGUITCH WEATHER LOA WEATHER UTAH’S PAST AND PRESENT by Mrs. Gayle Moore and Mrs. Vicki D. Syrett 2011 STATE 1-A BASEBALL CHAMPIONS If you know a fourth grad- er in the Garfield County School District then you’ve already heard the news of how “Awesome” this year’s Utah Past and Present, In- trigue of the Past, program was! Actually, this was the 23rd year that Mrs. Vicki Syrett has coordinated this annual event that brings ex- perts from the community and government agencies to fourth grade students and gives the students a hands on, small group, ex- perience that builds their understanding of the Utah Science Core and Utah’s Past and Present. Bryce Valley Elementary hosted 90 fourth and some third grade students for this year’s workshops on Octo- ber 5th and 6th. The pre- senters were Megan Keller from Anasazi State Indian Park, Flo Yearsley from Fremont Indian State Park, and Liz Lampe from Ko- dachrome State Park. The NHA from Bryce Canyon National Park are a big sup- port and they sent Marilyn Bulkley, Shawn Duffy, and Betty Fox. Betty Fox had built a Piute Indian “Kahn” that the students could go inside and it was a big hit with the students. The BLM office of Escalante sent Dave Mecham, Chuck Klaus, and Larry Glickman. Mrs. Lowe from Antimony Elementary was the story- teller and Arta Hepworth taught the students about quilting and got them start- ed hand sewing quilt blocks together. Pipe Springs Na- tional Monument partici- pated this year for the first time with Stephen Rudolph, and LeAnn Shearer. LeAnn Shearer is a Paiute and she and her sister provided valuable understanding and experiences to the students in the Paiute language, bead work, traditional clothing, and uses of native plants. She also taught them a couple of nursery rhymes and counting in the Paiute language. They loved it. Another “Delicious” tradition of the Utah Past and Present is the Indian Taco lunch at the Tropic Park. Arta Hepworth makes authentic indian fry bread and the students are served by the teachers and parent helpers. Thanks to Ruby’s Inn Restaurant and Clark’s grocery store for their support with the lunch. The Utah Past and Present program raises it’s own funding each year and we appreciate each com- munity and the local busi- nesses for their support of students’ education. The finale on Wed., was Martin Tyner and his “Birds of Prey.” Mr. Tyner taught the whole B.V.E. student body along with the fourth grade students about raptors and he brought three of them with him to in- troduce to the students. Mr. Tyner has trav- eled from Tex- as to California with his golden eagle, Scout, and the stu- dents were im- pressed with his stories of animal rescue and respect for these magnificent birds. He has written a wonderful book that tells of his over- coming his fear of birds and how that led to his becom- ing the healer of critters, es- pecially birds. This event also takes place in the Piute School District. This year is hap- pened on the 25th and 26th of September in Circleville at the Elementary school there under the direction of Janetta Dalton, fourth grade teacher and Principal of the school. Presenters there this year were Flo Yearsley of Fremont Indi- an State Park, Stephen Ru- dolph, Gene Roggen- kamp, Butch Roggen- kamp, Evan Cram, and Brittani Wero all of Pipe Springs Na- tional Monument on the Utah-Arizona borderline. Arta Hepworth also took part and she helped the stu- dents and teachers make fry bread and quilting. Marilyn Bulkley, Shawn Duffy and Betty Fox also participated from NHA at Bryce Canyan National Park. A special reader of Native American stories read to the students in one of the groups and they loved the stories. Some of the subjects that the students learned were about how the Atlatl was used to hunt food, Flint Knapping, Textiles of the times, the Fremont Indi- ans and their food, Natural Plants they crushed and put into a little bag, beading of the Paiute Indians, quilt- ing as the pioneers used to make quilts, stone cutting, fossils with actual fossils to look at and feel, dinosaurs and how we hunt for their fossils today with an actual dinosaur bone to see, the Paiute Indians and the Anasazi Indi- ans, and archaeol- ogy. Some very interesting hands on took place and they all had a chance at each sta- tion during the two days. Interest for this type of study came from a course Mrs. Syrett took at the University of Utah called Intrigue of the Past 25 years ago. It instilled a great in- terest to teach the ideas to the students and help them understand our past and how it reflects on our pres- ent. It has been a great ex- perience. The Panguitch Bobcats appeared Tuesday afternoon at the UVU Baseball Stadium Tuesday convinced and pre- pared to take home the 2011 State 1-A Baseball title… and that is exactly what they did. On Monday, The Wayne Badgers defeated the Region 18 Champs Tabiona (17-2) in the 5th inning to secure their spot for the title, and Panguitch defeated Region 17 Champs West Ridge Academy (17-9) for their spot. Pan- guitch split season wins with the well rounded and unde- feated Region 20 Wayne Badgers, but this time up, the Bobcats carried home the title by defeating the Wayne Ball Club 10-1. The Bobcats came out determined to fight, scoring one run in each of the first three innings, while holding Wayne to no hits and no runs until the fifth. There the Bobcats rallied another five runs. The Bobcats played very well as a team on offense with 14 hits,. For a while it appeared as though Panguitch pitcher, Bennett would have a no-hit- ter until late in the sixth inning. The Badgers loaded the bases a couple times, and the Bobcats defense was solid enough to shut the door on Wayne. Both of these teams dominated this years’ state 1-A competition, and both teams appeared to peak at the end of the season. The Badgers had a rough time in the final game with errors while the Bobcats turned these into suc- cessful opportunities to put the game away. Congratulations to the Bobcats and the coaching staff for keeping their heads together, and working as a team. You have made Panguitch Proud! Great Business Opportunity for a resident.

Its State Baseball time and the games have been moved to Monday and Tuesday, because of the weather. Last Tuesday the Bob Cats played Tinic up at Spanish Fork. They came away a 8 to 2 win-ner, Dallon Bennett the pitcher struck out 12 of the 18 players he faced to get the win. The good thing about the postponed games is that a pitcher can pitch 14 innings in a week. The Cats face West Ridge on Monday, a team that has beat them twice early in the season, but the games were close and West Ridge has lost a number of their start-ers. Well if you heard the sirens on Tuesday, you’ll know what happened. Re-gardless of the outcome, the Boys in Blue have had a great season, winning all but 4 games in the season, their Coaches really put in a lot of work to bring them to this level. The Cross Country teams had good efforts over in Milford. The ex-citing race of the day was the 7th and 8th graders. There were six runners clumped together at the end and Whitney Orton came in second, just an eye lash
behind the boy winner from Escalante. Whitney is real-ly something I can’t wait to see her run against Varsity runners next year. This was the 7th and 8th graders last race and most of them came away with medals and the boys took 1st and the girls 2nd behind Bryce Valley. In the Varsity race again the BV Mustangs came away with first place, but the Bob Cats closed the gap down to only 6 points. Most of the girl runners were play-ing volleyball and cheer leading at the high school. All of the runners are just doing better each week and keep lowering their times, Rowdy Miller has cut 13 minutes off his last years time. The League Meet at Valley has been postponed to this Thursday, because of the change in the State Baseball. We could pick up some runners from the ball team and also from the Vol-leyball team. The meet is held on the Mt Carmel golf coarse, its is a good place, because you can see the whole race. I forgot that down in the race in LaVer-kin, in all that heat, Catania Holman, running in her first race took second over all, just behind the winner from
Canyon View. Catania is just a freshman. Next week the State Finals will be held at Sugarhouse on the 19th . The Lady Cats keep on rolling, this week they again took out the two op-ponents in three games. They traveled up to South Sevier (a 2A team) and had a pretty easy time with them. The next night The Diamond Ranch Lady Dia-mondbacks came to town, they are a new team in our league. The results were the same with the Cats tak-ing them out in three games. Tonight they are supposed to play Escalante but with the other changes I am not sure. However on the 14th and 15th they are playing in the Sevier Valley Tour-nament, this is a real good tournament to find out how good you are, with many 2-A and 3 A teams there. I haven’t been able to find out how the Cats stand in the State or how good Rich is this year, maybe by next week I can report on this. The Lady’ have one more league game left against Bryce Valley on the 25th and them they are off to State on Oct. 28 and 29th.

THANK YOUHEIDI
A long over due thank you needs to be offered to Wayne High basketball coach, Heidi Woolsey. Hei-di has coached at Wayne High for 20 years and has made a positive impact in the lives of the students she has coached. She has a true passion for her players and positively pushed them to reach their full potential. Being a coach requires a lot of time commitment. Ever since I have been as-sociated with Heidi I have observed her willingness to go above and beyond her required duties as a coach. She not only has a passion for athletics, but a passion to teach her player the life skills they will need to be successful in their future. Wayne High School and the Wayne County community have positively impacted by the efforts of Heidi Woolsey.

BRONCS WIN FIRST PLAYOFF GAME Despite chilly tempera-tures and a bit of snow, a crowd of about 150 football fans watched their Broncs beat Fredonia to take the first game of the High Des-ert League playoffs. The Broncs started off strong, scoring 2 touchdowns in the first minutes of the open-ing quarter. The Broncs were able to capitalize on a Fredonia fumble for the first touchdown. The Broncs recovered the fumble on Fredonia’s 13-yard line, and running back Conner Rees ran the ball 13 yards to score on the very next play. Fredonia was able to stop the Broncs from scoring the extra points. The Broncs’s Justin Hunt kicked an on-side kick, and Daniel Evans recovered for the Broncs, giving Wayne possession of the ball in order to set up the next scoring drive. Quarterback Zane Taylor put together an impressive drive, moving the ball 43 yards in 8 plays. Running back Anthony D’Andrea scored the touchdown on a 5 yard run to make the score 12-0. The extra points at-tempt again failed. The Wayne Broncs put together another impressive drive to score again in the 4th Quarter. The drive started on the Wayne 10-yard line, when the Broncs defense stopped Fredonia and the Broncs took over on downs. The Broncs offense went to work and moved the ball 90 yards in 19 plays. D’Andrea took the ball over the goal on a 1-yard run to cap off the drive with a touchdown and make the score 18-0. The extra points attempt failed. Fredonia was able to prevent a shut-out with a score late in the 4th Quarter, and scored the extra points, to make the score 18-8. Fredonia at-tempted an onside kick, but the Broncs’s Barlow Pace caught the line-drive kick
to ensure Wa y n e ’ s p o s s e s -sion. The game end-ed with the final score of 18-8. The B r o n c d e f e n s e had an outs tand-ing game. D’Andrea, p l a y i n g d e f e n s e at Middle Lineback-er, had 10 t a c k l e s , including a quarter-back sack. Outside Line-backer Riley Cook had 9 tackles and recovered a Fredonia fumble. Kelton Cropper, also an Outside Linebacker, contributed 8 tackles and one assist. He also sacked the Fredonia quarterback twice and re-covered a fumble. Defen-sive Tackles Justin Hunt and Ralph Gianette both had a great game. Hunt made 8 tackles, 3 for Fredo-nia losses, and had one as-sist, while Gianette made 4 tackles and had 2 assists. Ryan Lee, playing Monster Back on defense, made 7 tackles. Defensive Ends Daniel Evans and Tavae Pei also combined to sack the Fredonia quarterback
3 times. Safety Spencer Larson made several out-standing plays, including an open-field tackle on a punt return to save a touchdown. Larson also had 5 tackles, 2 assists, and intercepted a Fredonia pass. The Wayne County Foot-ball Cheer Squad braved the cold to entertain the crowd and cheer on the Broncs. Their half-time country line dance got the crowd mov-ing and their cheers kept the Broncs’s fans focused on the game. Our Wayne County Foot-ball Broncs travel to Mil-ford this Saturday, October 15th, to play Milford for the League Championship. The Broncs want to thank

PRAYER2004 (c) The National Healthy Marriage Institute LLC
You have probably heard the saying, “The couple who prays together stays together”. How can the simple act of praying together have a beneficial impact on your marriage? Part of the answer lies in what takes place when a couple prays together. Usually a couple is touching each other either by holding hands or kneel-ing next to each other. This creates a sense of physical closeness. While one spouse offers the prayer, the other spouse has the opportunity to listen to the concerns and grati-tude of his or her spouse. This process creates emo-tional intimacy as thoughts and feelings are expressed that otherwise may not have been heard. Creating physical and emotional intimacy only explains partially the ben-efits of couple prayer. The real power of couple prayer comes from the act of open-ing the door of your marital relationship to the influence of a higher power. The influence of this higher power has the ability to heal wounds in marital relationships that individu-als may not have been able to heal on their own. The influence of this
higher power has the ability to inspire us with solutions to marital conflicts we may have otherwise never come up with. The influence of this higher power has the ability draw us closer together as a couple than we would have on our own. With all these benefits of prayer, why don’t more couples pray together? Some fear their spouse will say no and make fun of them. Fear often paralyzes us from taking action. If this describes your situa-tion, then stop allowing fear to determine your actions. Explain to your spouse how much it would mean to you to pray together on a daily basis. There is a good chance he or she will say yes. Some couples do not pray together simply be-cause they don’t know how. Offering a sincere prayer is a simple process. Prayer is the expression of your hopes, wants, fears, and needs, along with expres-sions of gratitude to a high-er power. When should you pray together? The most important time to pray together is when you don’t feel like it. Often when we are upset with our spouse, the last thing we
want to do is pray together. Yet this is when the healing power of prayer can benefit us the most. Establish a regular time to pray together as a cou-ple. The greatest impact of prayer comes from praying together on a daily basis. Over time most couples find prayer brings them closer together than almost any other practice. Write down the obstacles keeping you from praying with your spouse on a regu-lar basis.When you have a quiet mo-ment, say a prayer and ask for guidance on how you can overcome these obsta-cles. By overcoming these obstacles and beginning the practice of saying sincere prayers with your spouse, you will experience more joy and happiness and less pain and misery in your marriage.

A fellow stopped at a rural
petrol station and, after filling his tank, he paid the bill and bought a soft drink. He stood by his car to drink his cola and he watched a couple of men working along the roadside. One man would dig a hole two or three feet deep and then move on. The other man came along behind and filled in the hole. While one was digging a new hole, the other was about 25 feet be-hind filling in the old hole. The men worked right past the fellow with the soft drink and went on down the road. “I can’t stand this,” said the man tossing the can in a trash container and heading down the road to-ward the men. “Hold it, hold it,” he said to the men. “Can you tell me what’s going on here with this digging?” “Well, we work for the county, “ one of the men said. “But one of you is dig-ging a hole and the other fills it up. You’re not ac-complishing anything. Aren’t you wasting the county’s money?” “You don’t understand, mister,” one of the men said, leaning on his shovel and wiping his brow. “Nor-mally there’s three of us--me, Rodney and Mike. I dig the hole, Rodney sticks in the tree and Mike here puts the dirt back. Now just because Rod-ney’s sick, that don’t mean that Mike and me can’t work.”
GOVERNMENT IN ACTION 1 The General Services Administration has experts who actually visit different agencies and suggest ways to streamline their day-to-day routines. One such expert visited the Federal Communications Commission and suggested that they get rid of the clutter. He suggested as a start, that they throw out all correspon-dence over ten years old. The FCC Director loved the idea, and replied, “Good thought. but first, we’ll have to make three copies of ev-erything.”
GOVERNMENT IN ACTION 2 The Washington DC City Council, though stripped of just about all political power, still meets. At one meeting, the status of fireplugs around City owned buildings was discussed. They directed that all fireplugs adjacent to City owned buildings be tested at least three days prior to every fire.
GOVERNMENT SPENDING
Due to increasing criti-cism about excessive gov-ernmental spending and bloated bureaucratic bud-gets, we are immediately scaling back to only basic essentials. Therefore effec-tive immediately the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

BACK HOME
Recently a friend of mine had his car “booted”. I never knew what that was until I actually saw these so called “boots” put on two of his tires. And all because he backed his car into a parking lot, unbeknown to him, that didn’t allow this kind of parking. Yup, you can’t back your car in this particular parking lot. Not even to unload for a few minutes as he was doing with luggage. Worst of all, there weren’t even any un-loading parking spots. But when the “boot man” came to unlock the boots to a tune of $125, we asked him about his customer service. You know, the kind that does not provide a warning before booting. “I’m not in the busi-ness of customer service,” he said. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. So I said, “You’re not in the business of customer ser-vice?” “That’s right,” he said. “You aren’t my customer.” I don’t believe I’ve ever heard a company say they
weren’t in the business of customer service. Yet his interactions with my friend and I clearly demonstrated that he was in fact right about him not being in the business of customer ser-vice. Truly, he was one of the rudest people I have ever met. He was clearly in the business of being a cash cow. See, if he gave you a warning, he wouldn’t make as much money as he could without that warn-ing. Smart cookie, he was, I’ll give him that. Doing the right thing? No way, as a matter of fact, he loses HUGE points in my book on that one. I won’t there-fore call him a dumb cook-ie, but you get the point. He must have never heard of Wal-Mart founder, Sam Walton’s, words, “The goal as a company is to have customer service that is not just the best, but legend-ary.” The only legendary was his bad service. Cer-tainly one that will not be forgotten. The owner of the property where the “boot-ing” occurred was no help
either. “It was in the con-tract you signed,” she told my friend. Then she turned to one of her employees, putting her on the spot in front of a room full of people and said, “You told him that right?” To which the employee replied, “Of course I did,” (even though she hadn’t). If you are in business, but you say, “We’re not in the business of customer service,” learn to be, even if you’re in the business of writing tickets (as my friend was). And as you do, keep in mind the words of Walt Disney, “Do what you do so well that they will want to see it again and bring their friends.” Cynthia Kimball is a professional speaker and trainer through her compa-ny Every1Counts, LLC, and a doctoral student in Work-force Education Leader-ship.

I guess I don’t have to tell you how fast the weather can change, all you had to do was go outside and you could tell by watching your breath. An aftermath of Thursday’s storm was that highway 14, the road to Ce-dar, will be closed for some time. There was a humon-gous slide 800’ long, so don’t go that way to Cedar for some time. This really cuts off the towns along the southern part of 89. The good news is that traf-fic will have to go through Panguitch to get to Bryce Canyon and maybe they will stop and spend some money. This is that time of the year, when the adult tourist come to visit our area (from Labor Day to Oct. 15) and for some rea-son it stops, just as quick. It is good to see many of the Motels in Town with no vacancy signs out. This Friday (October 14th) there is a couple of events. This years An-nual Garfield Hospital will be held out at Ebenezer’s Dinner theater at Ruby’s Inn. The last few years it has been held at the Fair grounds building and it is in use, as everyone knows. If you haven’t been to Ebene-zer, it is a beautiful build-ing. The festivities start at 6pm and there will be a buffet, fashion show and a live auction. You can call Lynne Neilson at 676-1262 for tickets, or buy them at the door. The Panguitch Lions Club will be hosting the Southern Utah Lions Club Winter Convention. It will start with a welcoming din-ner at the Social Hall on Friday and continue on Sat-urday, with meetings and a Governors luncheon in the afternoon. All the Lions
in the County are invited, as well all of the Clubs throughout the State. When I went out to drive the shuttle at the Park on Monday, I realized that I had made a mistake on Ruben Syrett name in last week’s column, its RUBY’S not Rubies. It also was brought to my attentions at the cross country meet in Milford, I guess I could blame my English Teacher, but I won’t. Ruby’s, this last summer employed 650 people and many of them are from Panguitch and as such are really a big part of Garfield Counties financial wellbeing. A long with the new fire station, Ruby’s is (I believe) adding 160 more camping sites to their re-sort. Charlene Ancira who has taken an accountants job in Idaho, only quit her lunch lady job, she is still running the Care and Share. Her job with the breakfast program is still open, but not the Care and Share. The Seniors last Fri-day went down to visit the Dinosaur Museum in St. George. This is really an interesting place and how it came about. Johnson was clearing off the area for a housing project, when he turned over a large piece of sand stone, only to find three foot prints imbedded in the stone. To think these monster animals roamed this area millions of years ago is hard to believe. Be-cause much of the area was like it is now a desert and the animals would fall over where they died, none of these skeletons were found. The Museum has a cost of $4.00 so it is a good place to visit. Hope you read the latest City information paper. All
the work that will go into the Park is badly needed. New restrooms, repairs to the pavilion and the grand-stands at the race track are all welcome additions. The Lions Club also donated money to the City to help out on their efforts to obtain a CIB grant. The Court House is com-ing alone nicely, repairing the older section is a mas-sive undertaking, replacing windows, adding bricks where needed and replac-ing the roof are completed. Across the street at the Alan and Jennie Henries’ home is almost complete and they are hoping to be in by Nov. 1st On a recent local field trip, Ms Caine’s CTE 7th grade and the H.S. Photog-raphy class visited the “Na-tive Wind” Art Studio (next to Henrie’ drive in). They saw oil and water color paintings by Jorli Perine. They got a demonstration on how to use the Ellison dye cut machine for art and other projects. Ms Caine has one of these machines on loan in her class room. The Students also visited Veda Hale’s Art Gallery where Mrs. Hale gave the student insight to her paint-ings and photography and treated the students to some beef jerky treats. Many thanks to Marian Willard for her mega dona-tion of scrapbook paper to the Panguitch School’s for creative art projects. Don’t for get the great Flu Shoot Out, next Thursday the 20th. It will be held at the fire station. Most health insurance will take care of the cost, you might also think about getting a pneu-monia shot and that also is covered by Medicare.
That’s all folks, Mack O

OBITUARIESDoug Jensen
Panguitch, Utah
Douglas Blaine Jensen, 82, passed away Wednesday September 28, 2011, at home in Panguitch of natural causes. He was born November 20, 1928, in Salt Lake City to Franklin and Sarah Maude Jacobs Jensen. They lived in Salt Lake City until he was 13 when they moved to Richfield, then Spanish Fork and finally to the ranch in Huntington, where he met and married Nida Mae Howard, May 1, 1948 in Huntington. She preceded him in death March 19, 2000. Doug’s love for driving big trucks began while driving his father’s livestock to market. Doug continued his love for driving into owning his own trucking company. While driving truck Doug received the name Dittybop. Doug and Nida Mae had two daughters, but also opened their home to help raise several nieces and nephews and take care of both of their mothers. Doug enjoyed making people laugh and he usually had a funny story to tell or little ditty to sing. He had a unique nickname for everyone and he loved to tease. He is survived by his daughters Nida Diane (John) Hous-ton of Panguitch and Catherine Mae (Eugene) Anderson of Centerville; 7 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife Nida Mae and nine brothers and sisters. Graveside services and interment will be held Saturday, October 1, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. in the Panguitch Cemetery.

James William Maples
On October 5th, 2011, at 11:55am, James William Ma-ples (86), also known as “Cowboy Jim” to his friends, and “Pops” to his family, passed away peacefully at his home in Hatch, Utah. He is fondly remembered for his entertain-ing stories while stoking the fire and pouring some cof-fee. His adventures while growing up in Missouri rivaled the tales of Huckleberry Finn. When he was a young man, he moved to Southern California, then later to Las Vegas, Nevada. While in Las Vegas, he owned his own auto-body shop and insurance adjusting company. He retired in the late 1980’s and moved to Henderson, Nevada with his wife Marcia. They lived in Henderson until 2002 when they moved to Hatch, UT where he began telling his tales at the Riverside. Not a soul walked through the doors of the Riverside that wasn’t entertained by one of his true stories. When he wasn’t telling stories, he could be found down on the river, wearing his cowboy hat with a feather in it, catching fish. (Jim won trophies for sucker fishing in Mis-souri, and bowling trophies in Las Vegas). Jim spent much of his spare time doing metal working. He created works of art using horse shoes (a violinist, a poker game, hors-es, etc), motorcycles from spare parts (displayed on the counter), which have been photographed and reproduced by foreign countries, mailboxes to look like castles, farms, tractors, etc. All of his works were given as gifts, never sold. He collected late 19th century artifacts from visit-ing old ghost towns, then displayed them on the walls for everyone to enjoy. Although he will be sorely missed, the family rejoices in knowing that Jim accepted Christ in July, 2011 and was met at his passing by his parents, Fred and Mettie Maples, his brother Dude, his Sisters Mary-Ruth and Opal, and his grandsons, Joshua Daniel Fisher and Robert Newsted, Jr. He is survived by his wife Marcia Lee (Dougherty) Maples of Hatch, UT, his brother Lee Roy Maples of Re-public, MO., his son Steve Maples (and wife, Sherry) of Branson, Mo., his daughter Sherry Maples Cunningham (and husband Ken) of Spokane, MO., his son Greg Fisher of Hatch, UT, and his daughter Tammi Fisher Newsted (And husband, Robert Sr.) of Hatch, Ut., 17 Grandchil-dren, Keith Newsted, Brandon Newsted (and wife, Me-gan), Tina Newsted Burkett (and husband, Gary), Tiffany Newsted, Johrie Fisher, Aspyn Fisher (and their mother, Gina Fisher), Juliana Fisher, Amanda Fisher, Alicia Lin-ger, Jacob Linger, Tiffany Carpowich (and her husband, Brandon), Shanna, Amber, Stacy, Erica and Cody. (16) Great Grandchildren, James Newsted, Melissa Broeske (and husband Devon), Shelby Burkett, Tattyana Burkett, Michael Hansen, Ryan McCuistion, Austin Carpowich, Alexis Carpowich, Kyler Carpowich, Jake, Allie, Dakota, Milana, Madisyn, Mei Lin, and Aspen. (3) Great-Great Grandchildren, Kade Broeske, Nohea Broeske and Alex-ander Hansen. A “Going Away” party was held in his honor on October 8th at the family home, as was his wish. The family wishes to say thank you to all of those who were so helpful. In parting: “Istee Wanee Haha”, Pops!
TORREY NEWSAdus Dorsey
On Thursday October 6th, Mother Nature, in a semi-rare show of female intolerance, clouded the Wayne County skies and sent forth an early blanket of snow, along with unex-pected freezing tempera-tures. In her infinite worldly wisdom, and in the event you might be suffering from seasonal amnesia, it is past time to go get your for-est service firewood permit from Virginia, so get one. Winter is closing in wheth-er you like it or not. This is also an excellent time to visit the elderly neighbors in your area. They would love to see you, and their house is most likely warm-er and smells better than yours! In other Torrey news, the Utah Airport Operators Association, UAOA, under the direction of President Jim Peterson, met in Torrey this week at the conference center at the Sandstone Inn. Brandon Jensen, [email protected], Wayne County’s Airport Adminis-trator, and Wayne County Commissioners DeRae Filmore, [email protected] and Rob Williams, [email protected], were in at-tendance to welcome all the brave souls that made the chilling early October trip to Torrey. Highlights of the UAOA comments includ-ed; community emergency management resources that all airports provide, as well as the economic benefits of regional airports. Wayne County has a long and col-orful aviation history. To learn more about the ben-efits your airport and local aviation experts provide, contact Wayne County at waynecountyutah.org. Torrey Town continues in our efforts to investigate
the annexation and incor-poration of surrounding ar-eas, in an effort to encour-age continued community support, involvement and input, maintain quality ser-vices, and provide a consis-tent supply of safe drinking water to all of our water system clients. To date, the Torrey Planning and Zon-ing Committee, under the direction of Jan Stringham, has completed and sent out surveys exploring and ac-cepting community input. Concerns, comments and annexation information will be compiled and presented to the Torrey Town Coun-cil, as well as the interested public at a later date. On Saturday the 8th of October, Weston Johnson, Kassie Rae Baldwin and Dreygan Lane were joined together in matrimony at the Torrey Town Park. Con-gratulations to the happy family. A birthday bash for James Anderson’s 50th was also held at the Rim Rock restaurant Saturday night. Fun was had by all (per-haps more fun than should be legally allowed was had by a few!). Happy Birth-day James; thanks Nan for bringing us together to car-ry on the community tradi-tion. Torrey Town will hold our monthly town council public meeting on Thurs-day evening, October 13th at 6:00 p.m. Concerned citizens and the public are encouraged to attend. In a concerted effort to avoid public humiliation and mis-information please feel free to report community con-cerns and suggestions about the Torrey Town govern-ment, streets, water, cem-etery or park issues, at tor-reyutah.gov, or call 435 425 3600 / 435 691 0173.

In order for this to occur as it should, you must have adequate urinary flow from kidneys that pro-duce the normal amount of urine daily. However, many patients have any of several kidney diseases that cause problems producing an ad-equate quantity of urine. Physicians may alter the dose of prescription medica-tions when prescribing them to take the altered ability to eliminate them into account. The doctor may reduce the dose or prescribe it less often (such as once daily instead of twice). However, when you wish to purchase nonprescription
products, physicians are not usually involved in that deci-sion. Therefore, you cannot know how to adjust the dose of nonprescription medications that might be dangerous. In these cases, the label simply warns against use if you have kidney disease. Pharmacists can assist you in locating this warning when it is present and can also recommend alterna-tive products that do not pres-ent problems to patients with kidney disease. Examples of products that may present problems include acid reduc-ers, laxatives, antihistamines, internal analgesics, and alli for weight loss.
Prostate Problems Several groups of non-prescription products cause problems for men with urinary difficulty due to an enlarged prostate, usually due to a con-
dition known as benign pros-tatic hyperplasia (BPH). Most often, the products have the potential to cause a further reduction in urine flow. If the man uses them without medi-cal advice, he may have to be catheterized to empty the bladder. You should first ask your physician if the prod-ucts might present problems. Prostate issues must be seen by a physician to rule out more serious conditions such as prostate cancer or prostate infection (prostatitis). If you do not have a physi-cian or are unable to contact your health care provider, you may ask the pharmacist for a recommendation. Nonpre-scription products presenting potential problems for men with BPH include some an-tihistamines for the common cold or allergic rhinitis, mo-tion sickness products, sleep aids, nasal decongestants, some hemorrhoid products, asthma products, and some eye drops. Once again, your pharmacist can assist you in discovering whether this warning is present on a prod-uct you wish to purchase, and can direct you to a more suit-able product.
About 10 years ago, Rob Williams, Ron and Caro-lyn Moosman, Brent and Dorthy Hales, and myself purchased a 40 acre tract of land from the State of Utah. It was located directly in front of my Cactus Hill Mo-tel, which was already in business. I ended up with 5.5 acres of the 40. Rob had 5 acres, and Ron and Carolyn about 12 or 13 acres. If this 13 acres, 5.5 acres was locat-ed on one side of a county road that bordered my 5.5 acres, and the remainder on the other side of the county road. Hales owned the rest. My 5.5 acres were as-sessed as Commercial prop-erty for some unknown rea-
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
son. After an appearance at the County Commission, it was changed by Carolyn to vacant land. I had paid 2 years of commercial rates before I caught MY mis-take. I had failed to review my tax notices more care-fully. She called hers va-cant land, Robs was listed as greenbelt, and now the rest of the story. Ron and Carolyn sold the Brent Hales, both sides of the county road. Just 2 weeks ago, I found out that he had greenbelted all of his property. According to Assessor Moosman, he submitted to forms and she did not bother to check it out. This is not greenbelt property, and she knew it,
because she used to own it. Why did she not drive down to Teasdale to check out any changes that Hales were supposedly doing to make it greenbelt? I have paid in the neigh-borhood of $4000 taxes on my 5.5 acres of vacant land in 10 years. Hales has paid $200 or less, on my side of the county road. This kind of thing cannot continue to go on. There is a problem in the assessors office. Do not tell me any longer Commissioner Wil-liams that these are honest mistakes. My son Stuart and his wife just finished a new home out on our ranch. The day after Eric Torger-
son did his final inspection, Carolyn and Trina were out to assess the property for taxation. Why didn’t she just call Stuart and ask him what it was worth? That is what she did with Brent Hales. She took his word. Just this one situation has cost this county thou-sands of tax dollars that they should have had. If the assessors office would have handled it FAIRLY. Greenbelt was not easy to come by in 1969. In fact, it was a close legislative battle. If we start abusing it either by misrepresenta-tion or by assessor default, it may go away. Be careful and do not chastise those of us that are paying the big-gest share of the bills.

For your benefit and the benefit of your family, it is a good idea to organize your estate planning docu-ments into a family estate planning binder. The docu-ments within your binder should constitute a com-plete estate plan. The ques-tion then is, “What docu-ments constitute a complete estate plan?” First, the cornerstone of the estate plan can be either a will or a revocable trust. As discussed in articles pre-viously published in this column, whether the estate plan should be a “will based plan” or a “trust based plan” depends on your desires with respect to privacy and avoiding probate, as well as the location, size and types of assets comprising the es-tate. If you own real estate in more than one state, a trust should probably be the tool of choice. By creating a trust and transferring the real estate into the trust, you avoid the need to have two probate proceedings in dif-ferent states to clear title to the real estate. If the cornerstone of your estate plan is a revocable trust, it is important that you still have a will. All “trust based plans” must still have what is called
a “pour over will.” It is a simple will that serves as a safety net to “pour over” as-sets into the trust. This type of will directs the property into the trust. Basically, the “pour over will” takes those assets that were not trans-ferred into the trust while you were alive and gets them into the trust. Howev-er, because the assets were not transferred into the trust before your death, a probate proceeding is necessary. In addition to a will and possibly a trust, a complete estate plan should have a durable power of attorney for financial matters. This document allows legal de-cisions to be made regard-ing your financial matters in the event you become incapacitated. You may want this document to be a “springing durable power of attorney” which means the person named in the power of attorney has no power to make decisions regarding your assets until you become incapacitated. In addition to the above documents, your estate planning binder should contain documents pertain-ing to medical treatment de-cisions. If desired, a living will for the state in which you now live should be in-cluded. A living will (also called a “directive to physi-cian”) specifies that no use of artificial life-support sys-tems should be used once you are beyond reasonable hope of recovery. A medical power of at-torney is also an impor-
tant document. A medical power of attorney allows a specified individual to make medical decisions for you in the event you are too ill to do so. Lastly, your estate plan-ning binder should contain information pertaining to funeral arrangements. You should include funeral and burial information indicat-ing the name of the funeral home and cemetery, the location of burial lots, and a list of which services, if any, have already been prearranged for or prepaid. Often, it can be very diffi-cult for a family to harmo-niously decide the numer-ous decisions that need to be made regarding a loved one’s funeral when emo-tions are high and feelings are sensitive. In conclusion, a family estate planning binder is a wonderful way to put your affairs in order. After it is complete, you need to dis-cuss the contents with the children or other loved ones that would be involved in using the documents. You should inform them as to the location of the original binder and consider giving a copy to one or more of these individuals. Although you hope the binder will not be needed for many years, you will feel more secure knowing that it is ready. Jeffery J.

WILDIFE ON OUR LARGE NATIONAL MONUMENTBy Norman McKee, 435-590-4799
Recently, I received an appointment by U.S. Sec-retary of the Interior, Ken Salazar, to serve another term on the 15 member citi-zens Advisory Committee of the Grand Staircase/Es-calante National Monument (GSENM). I will be repre-senting wildlife interests on the Monument. Hopefully, my 43 years working with wildlife on and adjacent to Monument lands will be helpful to Rene Berkhuodt, Monument Manager, and his staff, in advancing wild-life and associated interests on the Monument. Several species of wild-life have received extra at-tention in recent years on the Monument. Desert big-horn sheep were once near-ly gone. However, re-intro-duction efforts in the last 30 years have restored this high-profile species back to some parts of the GSENM. American pronghorns were transplanted to the East Clark Bench near Church Wells. Their future in that area is still uncertain. Wild turkey transplants have established viable popula-tions in several areas. In the last decade, river otters have been re-located to the Escalante River. They oc-casionally are viewed by hikers along the Escalante River and Calf Creek. In the 1980’s, elk were re-established on the Boulder Mountain and Paunsaugunt Plateau. Individuals and
small groups occasionally wander from USFS lands and are observed on the ad-jacent GSENM. Non-native chuckar partridge have also been established in several areas. Raccoons are also in most riparian areas, hav-ing been brought into Utah and illegally released years ago. Several non-native fish, such as German brown trout, have also been plant-ed in streams on the Monu-ment. So what is the future of wildlife on the GSENM? The Monument’s mission is to conserve, protect, man-age, and restore native plant communities and animal habitats, along with the na-tive wildlife species wher-ever appropriate. The GSENM is some-what different than most na-tional monuments. Notably, it is managed by the Bureau of Land Management, rath-er than the National Park Service. It is also larger than most national monu-ments. In addition, science is to have a dominating in-fluence in all management decisions. Thus, it is to be a showcase example on how to productively sustain and manage valuable natural resources on publicly ad-ministered lands, with few exceptions The GSENM is to be managed under the multiple use concept. Thus, hunting, fishing, trapping, livestock grazing, recre-ational tours, and limited
oil, gas, and mining inter-ests are still intact. Since much of the Monu-ment has wilderness char-acteristics, that factor alone has dominated much of the discussion and decisions regarding the use of these other resources. The con-troversy continues on this issue. As with much of our rangelands, especially in semi-arid environments, such as Southern Utah, many areas are not as pro-ductive as they once were, or still could be. For ex-ample, springs have dried up as our climate changes. Expansive areas of pinyon pine and Utah juniper for-ests have established on what was once shrub/grass/forb vegetative communi-ties. Exotic plants, such as cheat-grass and salt-cedar tamarisk, are now abundant in most suitable habitats. Again, what should and can be done to advance the cause of wildlife on the GSENM? How about some scientifically discreet water developments in needed ar-eas? Many species of wild-life, such as bighorn sheep, would benefit and increase in numbers and distribution. How about allowing more well-planned and designed projects to restore pinyon/juniper areas back to the native plants that once grew on the area. Deer, prong-horn, cottontail rabbits, sage grouse, and livestock
would greatly benefit. How about going into headwater canyons and locate where tamarisk has rooted and taken all the moisture from small seeps and springs? Remove the invasive tama-risk and re-establish the surface flow of the water. And last but not least, how about re-establishing, in all possible habitats, healthy populations of native wild-life species? Several signif-icant habitat areas are with-out desert bighorn sheep, pronghorns, elk, beaver, sage grouse, river otter, wild turkey, and Colorado River cutthroat trout. Utah’s largest industry is outdoor recreation, amount-ing annually to nearly six billion dollars. Wildlife directly contributes nearly 1/2 of that amount. Obvi-ously, much has been done during the last 50 years. However, much remains to be done. As a member of the Monument Advisory Com-mittee, I intend to do all I can to promote wildlife and wildlife habitat with the Monument staff and all oth-er concerned parties. Hope-fully, you will share with me your ideas regarding wildlife on the GSENM. The GSENM has the potential to be even more than it is now. Our Southern Utah economy and lifestyle demand that we manage our public lands in the most productive, responsible and
sensible scientific manner possible. The GSENM of-fers the excellent oppor-tunity to be a showcase in public land management.

RIFLE BUCK DEER HUNT STARTS OCT. 22More than 65,000 hunters expected afield for rifle deer hunt
Hot weather made it dif-ficult for many hunters to find bucks during this fall’s general muzzleloader buck deer hunt. Utah’s muzzleloader deer hunt ended on Oct. 6. Next up is the state’s most popular hunt, the general rifle buck deer hunt. The rifle hunt starts Oct. 22. Between now and then, Anis Aoude says colder temperatures would help hunters a bunch. Aoude, big game co-ordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources, says colder weather forces deer to feed more. “That need to feed gets the deer mov-ing and puts them in plac-es where hunters can see them,” he says. Deer have also grown their heavy winter coats. With their heavy winter coats on, deer are more comfortable moving in temperatures that are 40 de-grees F or less. “I think a drop in tem-perature would really help the hunt,” Aoude says.Deer numbers When you go afield on Oct. 22, Aoude says the number of buck deer com-pared to the number of doe deer that will be waiting for you is good across most of Utah. He says this past win-ter was a good one for deer across most of the state. “Even though the state received a lot of snow,” Aoude says, “temperatures across most of Utah were mild enough that the snow melted quickly on the lower elevation areas where the deer spend the winter. “Most of the fawns that were born in 2010 made it through the winter,” he says. “These deer will be available to hunters as year-ling bucks this fall.” Aoude says there are some exceptions, though — portions of the Cache unit in northern Utah, and units along the south slope of the Uinta Mountains in northeastern Utah, were hit with cold temperatures
at the start of winter. The cold temperatures remained through most of the season. “The snow in these areas crusted over and stayed that way through most of the winter,” Aoude says. “Quite a few fawns died.” Another area of concern is southern Utah, where a severe drought several years ago has kept the over-all number of deer down. “The number of fawns born in the southern part of the state has been fairly low over the past few years,” Aoude says. “Hopefully, the wet winter and spring this year will help the veg-etation. If the vegetation improves, so will the over-all number of deer.”Bucks per 100 does Every fall — after the archery, muzzleloader and rifle hunts are over and while the deer are grouped together during their breed-ing period — DWR biolo-gists conduct deer surveys. During the surveys, the biologists compare the number of bucks they see to the number of does they see.
Panguitch Lake and Mount Dutton (Report by Dustin Schaible) — Deer are still spread out across much of their range. The high habitat quality has given mature bucks an op-portunity to reach their antler growth potential, so there are some nice bucks out there. The number of bucks is still down as a re-sult of winter loss during the winter of 2009–2010 and low fawn production in 2010. Overall, the health of the herd and fawn produc-tion is expected to be bet-ter this year due to a great water year, and even more
rain is in the forecast. These conditions create a scenario that is great for the deer, but difficult for hunters since the deer won’t be standing at the normal water holes and will be spread thin.Fish Lake and Monroe (Report by Vance Mum-ford) — I expect only a fair deer hunt this year. This is due to low recruitment and survival of fawns in 2010, which translates into fewer yearling bucks this year. However, this spring and summer have been great for the deer. They are fat and healthy. There are still buck hunting opportunities out there, so don’t stay home. Archery and muzzle-loader hunters saw a fair number of bucks this fall, and they had some success.Reminder: The Monroe unit has a short season this year. The rifle hunt runs for only five days — Oct. 22–26. Boulder (Report by Jim Lamb) — There is a lack of young bucks in the populations in my district, probably due to high fawn mortality during the winter
of 2009–2010. Older bucks are available to harvest, but the lack of young deer makes it appear that there are very few bucks around. Deer have remained at higher elevations, but as soon as the weather chang-es, they should move down slope towards their win-tering areas. There was an abundance of feed this year, and deer are in great shape.Reminder: The Boulder unit has a short season this year. The rifle hunt runs for only five days — Oct. 22–26.

ESCALANTE NEWS The Senior Citizen Bus will be leaving Escalante on Friday October 14, 2011. It will be enroute to the Gar-field Memorial Healthcare Foundation Dinner. Those who need a ride or a ticket for the dinner should con-tact Donna Chynoweth or Tina Pittman at the senior citizen center. 826-4317. The event will be held at Ebenezer’s Barn and Grill, across the street from Ru-by’s Inn. The bus will also be go-ing to Cedar City on Mon-day, October 17th for shop-ping, doctor appointments, etc. Most of the Meisenbach’s were here from California over the weekend. Danny and Sheri Meisenbach and family; the Meisenbach sis-ters: Larene and Wayne Pol-lock and Jeannie and Steve Seyemore. The men were hunting and I think one of them got his deer but I don’t know about the others. Jim and Lola Alvey and Steve and LaVee Wiscombe came from Mapleton and made a trip to The hole In The Rock. Jimmy and Amy Alvey were also here from Mapleton and I think Jim-my may have taken a deer home with him. Amy’s parents, Johnny and Peggy Meisenbach were here also. Jason and Brace Griffin came from Cedar City for the hunt. Brace is going to school at SUU. He and Mike Munson are room-mates. Escalante Planning and Zoning has four new mem-bers. Marlene Stowe and Jared Lyman are the regu-lars and Tony Peterson and Mark Lisonbee are the al-ternates. At city council meet-ing four more water meters
were approved. One for Todd and Jill Phillips, two for Dell and Gladys Lefevre and one for Vickie Mercer. A large group of Boy Scouts were in attendance at the city council meeting. They were meeting require-ments for merit badges in “Communications” and “Citizenship in the Com-munity.” They will soon be asking for donations to replace the flags they have been placing on the poles along Main Street. The flags they have now are getting old and some are in pretty bad shape, so they would appreciate your help in this endeavor. John Parkin will be using his flag making talent to help with this and it is a great service on their part. On June 12th , 300 young men will be coming to Escalante, from a LDS Stake in Orem to do com-munity service projects in our town. We have been asked to watch for them, make them welcome and help them in any way we can. Also a great service project. The folks at South Cen-tral Communications of-fice gave Janis Gledhill a retirement party on Thurs-day, October 6th. Janice has been with them for al-most 32 years. Janis and Dean have three children: Gary Dean (Jody) Gled-hill; Chrissie (David) Owen and Rochelle Gledhill all of St. George. They have 11 grandchildren. So now they will be able to spend more time with their fam-ily. Dean isn’t quite ready to retire from his county road job yet but Janis will be able to do some of the things she wants to do until then. Congratulations, Ja-
nis, You have earned it! Dean and Janis are pack-ing their trailer and getting ready to go Elk hunting with their son Gary, Louie and Janalee Bernardo, Ben Venuti and Augie Bernardo. The people at Turnabout started a great project when they began to haul wood for senior citizens and oth-ers who were unable to do it for themselves. A lot of others have followed their lead (not that they haven’t done that in years past). I was going to name names but I’m sure I would miss someone so I’ll just say members of both ward bishoprics and other vol-unteers have worked very diligently to provide a lot of people with their winter fuel. Some of the last ones who went were snowed on all day! Sheldon Steed has al-ways been one of our best wood haulers but since his heart attack he isn’t able to do that this year. He is do-ing better, but I’m sure his friends will see to it that he has his supply of wood also. DeAnne Coleman is home from St. George helping her father, Frank, get his wood supply. Good girl, DeAnne. That’s hard work but as I remember it that is a way neat experience. Just being out in the hills makes for a fun day! Lane and Geraldine Lis-ton went to Laverkin for an overnight stay with Ty-ler and Jenifer McLemore. It’s hard to stay away from those little grandkids for very long. Florence Alvey was on her way to visit a neighbor when she fell and broke her wrist. She is apparently okay otherwise and healing.
Bryce Canyon National Park hosted 76 eighth grade students and 66 fourth grade students from Gar-field County Schools for a program entitled, “Art Works for Kids” which is part of the Artist in the Park series at Bryce Canyon. This program was devel-oped for students to create a greater understanding of the arts and to envision things in science through the arts. The students came to Bryce Canyon National Park and were taught State Core con-cepts focusing on rocks, mineral and earth forma-tions along with identifying evidence in depth, shadow, color and mood in artwork. The program was funded by a grant from the Beverely Taylor Sorenson ArtsFusion Organization. The main in-tent of the program was to help restore visual arts back into the schools and in do-ing so create a deeper and richer understanding of their natural world. Alisa Peterson, art teacher for ArtsFusion, taught art to the students while Marilyn Bulkley, Education Out-reach Specialist for Bryce Canyon Natural History Association, teamed up and taught science. The students in Garfield Coun-ty love to come to Bryce Canyon National Park on science trips and with this program we hoped to instill a love of the arts connected with their already love for science. The 4th grade stu-dents hiked down the popu-lar Navajo Loop trail learn-ing about rocks, minerals
and earth for-mation. When they returned to the top Mrs. Peterson i n t r o d u c e d them to water colors and had them paint Bryce Canyon from the rim along Sunset point. While the 4th grade students spent one day in the Park, the 8th grade students part icipated in an overnight educational experience, “Involve me, and I’ll remember”. This program involved 4 differ-ent curriculum studies: Sci-ence, Social Studies, Lan-guage arts, and Visual Arts. This year Alisa Peterson was used to improve on this program by using her skills in the field of teaching visu-al arts. The students learned to write in a journal, where they transformed some-thing common into some-
thing special. We would like to thank Dixie National Forest, Kodachrome Basin State Park, ARTsFusion, Bryce Canyon National Park and Bryce Canyon Natural History Associa-tion for their help with this program. And especially a BIG thank you to the teach-ers and students from Pan-guitch, Escalante and Bryce Valley. Next year the Art Works for Kids program will include music, art and science.

LETTER TO THE EDITORYOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN CAPITOL REEF NATIONAL PARK!!!
I have made many phone calls written many letters and emails this last month. I am very concerned about the Capitol Reef National Park closing its waterfall. This waterfall is the most enjoyed spot in the Capitol Reef Na-tional Park in June, July, August and September. To fix the waterfall would cost several thousands of dollars to put in a cement dam so the waterfall will cascade over the sandstone. We could have safety devices, like they have in swimming pools and other public recreational areas so if someone is struggling in the water someone can extend help and pull them to safety. Signs that say DANGER, SWIM AT YOUR OWN RISK, THE PARK IS NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU ARE INJURED OR DIE. Put in a register at the water-fall for comments I’m sure we would have some awe-some comments. My family has been swimming here for 50 years. I think if we had a meeting and put all our heads together we could fix the waterfall so it would be safer. However, you know in the past fifty years we have never had anyone die at the waterfall. I would say that is a pretty good record. It seems that Al‘s,( the Park’s Superintendent) only solution to fixing the water-fall is to get rid of it by put-ting in two bridges. They would be very dangerous in the winter because ev-eryone knows bridges get icy in the winter. In 2005 the cost was approximately $10,000,000.00. Six years later I’m sure that would be closer to $15,000,000.00 to
$20,000,000.00. To me as a tax payer, I say let’s fix the waterfall. If we put this to a vote to the people that come to the park in the summer, when the temperature is 80-100 I’m sure they would agree with me. Al tried to have the two bridges put in in 2005 but the Senators, Con-gressman and the State Road were able to stop the project. I recently talked to Al and he willing told me that his annual salary was $120,00.00 plus government benefits, so I guess after spending $3,000,000.00 plus on the Scenic Drive, per-haps the amount for the two bridges does not seem to be very much to him, but it sure seems like a lot to me. You need to know that if the bridges were to be built the jobs would not go to the local people but rather to out of county, out of state, or even out of country, like the Hanksville dam, and the Sce-nic Drive. The waterfall is not the real issue here. It has been Al Hendricks goal since he arrived here in Wayne Co. I believe his goal is to have the two bridges as his personal legacy. His words to Keith Durfey before his death was that he would not retire until the two bridges were com-pleted. I have contacted Congress-man Jim Matheson, Utah De-partment of Transportation, State Road over highway 24, Senator Orrin Hatch. Sena-tor Mike Lee, Congressman Jason Chaffetz, Utah Gover-nor Gary Herbert, Utah State Representative Mike Noel, Utah State Senator Nathan Lee, AOG 6 county Asso-
ciation, Russ Cowley, Utah Senator Ralph Okerland, Fremont River Soil Conser-vation District, David Pace, and Wayne County Com-missioners. All of the above are against these two bridges being built and for fixing the waterfall and keeping the waterfall open. If you would like to help save the waterfall and stop the bridges from being built, call, or write Al Hendricks, Superintendent of Capitol Reef National Park, 52 Sce-nic Dr. Torrey, UT 84775 or 435-425-3791 ext. 2. If you think this will land on deaf ears contact his boss Laura Joss 1-303-969-2856, email [email protected] I have called her and she will listen to you. You could also call the same people I have. Call me if you want a number I can find it for you. Al told me that I was the only one that had called him and was against the two bridges and the waterfall being closed. It is time to stand up and be counted. I know I’m not the only one! On your computer go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBXf--Blh0I and see how much fun they are having. Then go to: http://www.nationalparkstraveler.com/2011/07/popular-swim-ming-area-capitol-reef-na-tional-park-closed-due-dan-gerous-conditions8482 See in his own words that park officials are looking to re-route the river to its original streambed next year.

DIBELS This week I will focus on a few of the required testing assessments we give in the Garfield School Dis-trict. We are mandated by law to provide 23 different types of assessment to our students in Kindergarten to 12th grade. I wanted to discuss the DIBELS read-ing assessment used at all elementary schools in the District. The testing is mandated by Senate Bill 150 which reads as follows: Basic Requirements: SB150 There are three ba-sic provisions of Senate Bill 150. • LEAs (Garfield School District) shall report to par-ents of all children in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades a. if the child is below grade level in reading at the mid-point of the year, and b. reading interventions available at the school/dis-trict. • LEAs must provide read-ing remediation interven-tions to students identified as below grade level. • LEAs shall report to USOE (Utah State Office of Education)a. the number of students reading below grade level at the midpoint of the year, and b. the number of students identified as being below grade level who received reading intervention. 2. Common Assessment By Board Rule, every student in Grades 1, 2, and 3 will be given the DIBELS Next Middle of Year (MOY) DI-BELS Oral Reading Fluen-cy (DORF) Benchmark As-
sessment. This assessment consists of each student reading three grade level passages for one minute each. Only “Words Correct” (number of words read cor-rectly in one minute) and “Accuracy” (percent of the total words read that were read correctly) are used in the “Grade Level” determi-nation. 3. Timeline for Assessment and Reporting • Students are to be assessed in January (no sooner than after Winter Break and no later than January 31st). • LEAs must notify parents by February 15th. • LEAs must submit re-quired data to USOE by February 28th. • LEAs must complete the required fields in their stu-dent information system for the Clearinghouse report due in July. • Exceptions to this time-line must be approved by USOE. 4. Data Reported to The Utah State Office of Educa-tion • By February 28th LEAs will report a. the number of students per grade level (1st, 2nd and 3rd), b. the number designated as “Below Grade Level,” (see Item 6 below), and c. the number of students in each grade in the three DORF categories: Bench-mark, Strategic, and Inten-sive DIBELS link: https://di-bels.uoregon.edu/bench-mark.php Three tests that high
school students will be in-volved in are: EXPLORE, PLAN and ACT. Typically, students take EXPLORE in the 8th or 9th grade, PLAN as sophomores, and the ACT as juniors or seniors. All three tests involve Eng-lish, math, reading, and sci-ence. However, the mate-rial tested in each program gets more difficult. Test-ing information about your child’s career plans, inter-ests, high school course-work plans. On a different note, please take some time to fill out the survey on the pool and Panguitch High renova-tions. You can find the link to the survey on the District web page. I will present the results of the survey in the next board meeting. I would also like to recog-nize and thank all those who spent time preparing and presenting for the “Utah’s Past and Present/Intrigue of the Past” presentation for all fourth grade students in the District. Several peo-ple volunteer their time to make this a great success each year. A special thanks to Vicki Syrett who is co-ordinator of this wonder-ful program. The students enjoyed two full days of learning through interaction and entertainment. Thanks again to everyone who was involved in this program. “The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”-Dr. Seuss
Superintendent Ben Dalton
As our (the US) 2012 elections get really crazy...and the potential (republican) nominies crank up un-believable comments and claims... (as do the Demo-crats!) it might be a good idea to reflect on one of our most resourceful & successful Founding Fathers and his career!
Resume of Thomas Jefferson: Thomas Jefferson was a very remarkable man who started learning very early in life and never stopped: At 5, began studying under his cousins tutor. At 9, studied Latin, Greek and French.At 14, studied classical literature and additional lan-guages.At 16, entered the College of William and Mary.At 19, studied Law for 5 years starting under George Wythe.At 23, started his own law practice.At 25, was elected to the Virginia House of Burgesses.At 31, wrote the widely circulated “Summary View of the Rights of British America” and retired from his law practice.At 32, was a Delegate to the Second Continental Con-gress.At 33, wrote the Declaration of Independence.At 33, took three years to revise Virginias legal code and wrote a Public Education bill and a statute for Religious Freedom.At 36, was elected the second Governor of Virginia succeeding Patrick Henry.At 40, served in Congress for two years.At 41, was the American minister to France and ne-gotiated commercial treaties with European nations along with Ben Franklin and John Adams.At 46, served as the first Secretary of State under George Washington.At 53, served as Vice President and was elected presi-dent of the American Philosophical Society.At 55, drafted the Kentucky Resolutions and became the active head of Republican Party.At 57, was elected the third president of the United States.At 60, obtained the Louisiana Purchase doubling the nation’s size.At 61, was elected to a second term as President.At 65, retired to Monticello..At 80, helped President Monroe shape the Monroe Doctrine.At 81, almost single-handedly created the University of Virginia and served as its first president. At 83, died on the 50th anniversary of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence along with John Adams Thomas Jefferson knew because he himself stud-ied the previous failed attempts at government. He understood actual history, the nature of God, his laws and the nature of man. That happens to be way more than what most under-stand today. Jefferson really knew his stuff. A voice from the past to lead us in the future: John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the white House for a group of the brightest minds in the nation at that time. He made this statement: “This is perhaps the as-sembly of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in the White House with the exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.” When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe . (Thomas Jefferson) The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. (Thomas Jefferson) It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world. (Thomas Jefferson) I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. (Thomas Jefferson) My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.(Thomas Jefferson) No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. (Thomas Jefferson) The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to pro-tect themselves against tyranny in government.(Thomas Jefferson) The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.(Thomas Jefferson) To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical. (Thomas Jefferson)
Thomas Jefferson said in 1802: “I believe that banking institutions are more danger-ous to our liberties than standing armies. If the Ameri-can people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all prop-erty - until their children wake-up homeless on theconti-nent their fathers conquered.”NOTE: Might want to share this with the kids...and...
maybe...their teachers!!
ASK A SPECIALISTDO YOU HAVE
TIPS ON PREPARING AN EMERGENCY
CAR KIT?Answer by:
Carolyn Washburn, Utah State University Extension family consumer science agent
America is on the move. We travel short or long dis-tances nearly every day. Many travelers are not pre-pared for roadside or com-munity emergencies. In addition, with so much at-tention being placed on the ability to evacuate a com-munity quickly, having an emergency car kit prepared and in the trunk would be invaluable and could even save lives. One option is to buy ready-made kits. Many are available through online stores or at emergency sup-ply stores. However, put-ting your own kit together is a way to make sure you include items that will meet your specific needs. Con-sider these tips for prepar-ing an emergency car kit.• First, check the tools in your vehicle. These should include a spare tire, jack and lug wrench, jumper cables, flares or reflectors, a flashlight and batteries, a help or distress sign, maps, a small tool set, a fire extin-guisher, a tire inflator, seal-ant and duct tape.• Next, include additional safety tools. These include a tow rope, shovel, tire chains and sand or cat lit-ter for traction if you live or travel in winter conditions.• Then add survival items. These include high-energy foods, nutrition bars, nuts, dried fruits, candies, water, emergency thermal blan-kets, warm clothing, a safe-ty whistle, cell phone and charger, heavy gloves, fold-ing utility knife, garbage bags, tissues/toilet paper and survival medications. All vehicles should have a first aid kit with manual.• Other items to include are a brightly colored scarf or distress flag to tie to your car antenna and an enve-lope stored in the glove compartment listing family contact information.• Be sure to keep the gas tank at least half full at all times, and carry cash in small bills (ones, fives and change) in a secured com-partment. Before leaving home, always let someone know where you are going and when you will return.• When faced with an emer-gency situation, do your best to take care of yourself and others. Assess your sur-roundings and make sure your car is still safe to serve as a shelter. Most of the time, it’s best to stay with your vehicle. Rescuers will have an easier time spotting a large piece of metal than a person on foot. Whether making a quick trip to the grocery store or taking a trip across the country, it is important to expect the unexpected. Be prepared and always have information, tools and emergency supplies in your vehicle. With luck, you will never have to use them; but if you do, they can be both time savers and life savers.

THE WRITERS OF THE PURPLE SAGE WILL WRITE AGAIN
— in Kanab, Utah. KANAB: Event helps writers preserve stories, heritage and culture through literature
The Second Annual “Writers of the Purple Sage” Retreat will be held Oct. 21-22, hosted by the Center for Education, Busi-ness and the Arts (CEBA) in Kanab. This year, the retreat is inviting poets, poetry lov-ers, and other creative writ-ers to the small southern Utah city, which is also known as Utah’s “Little Hollywood” because of the more than 100 films (most of them Westerns) that have been shot there. The retreat is a seminar intended to give writers instruction on improving their craft, a forum for shar-ing it, and the know-how to become successful. This year’s event has a ‘laureate’ to talk about. Utah’s first Poet Laure-ate, David Lee, will open and close the event with readings of his poetry. The state’s current Poet Laure-ate, Katharine Coles, will address the forum in a key-note speech entitled “My Path to Contemporary Po-etry.” And former Lariat Laureate Rod Miller will talk on a similar topic, “My Path to Western Poetry.” In addition, the retreat will feature workshops on the following topics (see the full event agenda, at-tached):• Dueling P oets: An infor-mal poetry-reading round-table open to all attendees (open also to the public at no charge)• Resources for poets from the Utah Division of Arts and Museums• Panel discussion: The “Merits and Demerits” of Poetry Recitals• Panel discussion: Poetry Competitions and Why You Should Participate• Presenter/speaker round-table to discuss questions from retreat attendees. Throughout the retreat, Dixie State College’s De-partment of English faculty, along with editors of the lit-erary magazine “Southern Quill,” will host a creative-
writing clinic. Though the clinic is called “Poetry for the People,” it is open to creative writing of all types, not just poetry. The retreat’s name is an allusion to literature of the American West —it’s a play on words from “Riders of the Purple Sage,” the first best-seller written by West-ern novelist Zane Grey, who was a frequent Kanab visitor and the preeminent figure in the Western-liter-ature movement of the first half of the 20th Century. The event itself will look to the West by focusing in part on cowboy poetry, a literary tradition that adds to and promotes the rich culture and heritage of the area, including the Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area* (MPNHA), where Kanab is located. “Poetry is part of our culture and heritage,” says CEBA Executive Director Kelly Stowell. “We have a story to tell, and this is one way to tell it — through po-etry.” That can be especially true for those whose stories grow out of an agricultural lifestyle, says cowboy poet and former Lariat Laureate Rod Miller. “Cattle ranching has been a part of the Utah landscape since the arrival of Mormon settlers. And cowboys have tended those cattle ever since then,” Miller says. “The American cowboy is a symbol of our country around the world, recog-nized as an essential, and unique, element of our heri-tage. While an important part of our past, the cowboy is still with us, and will con-tinue into the future. “Most cowboy poets feel a need to contribute to the preservation of America’s unique Western culture, and to celebrate cowboy and ranching traditions … Utah has a long heritage of cow-boy poetry, even preceding the cowboy poetry renais-sance born in Elko, Nevada, in 1985.”
Cowboy poet and Kanab resident Sam Jackson says cowboy poetry is often recognized as art and en-tertainment, but also plays another important role. “Cowboy poetry is one method we use to record history. Some history is re-corded in our history books, the important stuff. We have other history in our family journals and records, but that’s not for public use. There are many, many sto-ries that fit into cowboy poetry that we don’t record anyplace else. That’s a fair-ly important reason that we do this,” Jackson says. “Very simply, major oc-currences are in our history books … [but] there are other interesting things that happen in this world that we describe in cowboy poetry.”The land of the West, and in particular through the MPNHA, is rough, sturdy and rugged.So were the area’s pioneer settlers, many of whom be-came central and southern Utah’s cowboys. The characteristics of the land and its people con-tinue. “The area is so amaz-ing and beautiful as far as scenic value. It’s inspira-tional. That hasn’t gone away. I would say the area in general is inspirational and becomes the backdrop for writers of today to be inspired and be creative,” says CEBA’s Stowell. Poets, cowboy and non, will find a place to share stories and heritage, and learn how better to write them, at the “Writers of the Purple Sage” Retreat. The cost for the retreat is $30. People can register for the event or request more information one of these three ways:• Go online to www.ce-bakanecounty.org under the Events link• Call Kelly Stowell at (435) 899-0443• Send an email t o [email protected]
