Panguitch Invitational Science Fair There has been science in the air in Panguitch the last few weeks. The Panguitch Middle /High School had their annual science fair on March 12. It was a big success. Students 7th to 8th grade were invited to enter the Junior Fair. The students in 9th to 12th grade were invited to enter the senior fair. All students were awarded a certificate for their par- ticipation in the Science Fair. Over one hundred and fifty students participated, with over ninety projects.

ESCALANTE - An unas-suming little art gallery on a small hill on the north side of the street in Escalante belies a couple with varied passions for art, place and community.
In 1986, Phil and Harriet Priska were a seasoned pair of art and antique dealers from the San Francisco Bay area. Ful-filling a dream of Harriet’s to explore Zion National Park and beyond, they made the trip that Harriet says jelled her connec-tion to the red rock and canyon country.

And then they got stuck.Thanks to a broken speed-
ometer cable, the couple had a stayover on a blustery night in Escalante. It was on that night that Harriet received what she calls a divine inspiration to move to Escalante.
The auto repair work went
well, sweetening the idea.“I think it was Wally
Woolsey who worked on our car, and he only charged us two dollars to fix it,” says Phil. “At the time I thought, ‘Diogenes should have come through here with his lamp, because I found an honest man.’ ”

The real “Land Grab”by Ty MarkhaM
From The Salt Lake Tribune, March 23, 2013
With a residence and busi-ness in southern Utah, I have a deep connection to our public lands, and not only because they serve as the anchor for my business and livelihood. The redrock deserts, canyons, tow-ering cliffs and aspen-layered mountains are my soul’s way to transcend the weariness of everyday life.
So I’m not surprised that thousands of Utahns agree that our public lands are a valu-able resource. Recent polling by Colorado College’s “State of the Rockies” project shows vast majorities support pro-tection of our public lands. In Utah, 96 percent agree that public lands are essential to the state’s economy. When given the most up-to-date in-formation on proposals to sell off public lands, 67 percent of Utahns are opposed.
These numbers make me wonder why many of our elect-ed officials, including Gov. Gary Herbert, advocate the transfer to state ownership of up to 30 million acres of feder-ally owned land in Utah. We’ve all heard proponents say, “Utah can do a better job of managing those lands,” or “It will benefit our kids through more funding for public education.”
But, frankly, if you be-lieve those arguments I have some ocean front property in Utah to sell you.
First, it takes a lot of mon-ey to manage that amount of land. Federal agencies such as the Bureau of Land Manage-ment, U.S. Forest Service and National Park Service spend over $650 million a year to manage our public lands.
Second, our Legislature struggles to find the money just to manage our state parks. So how would Utah find the resources to properly manage another 30 million acres? We’d have to lease or sell to the high-est bidder. Actually, the main proponents of this idea are fine with leasing or selling off the lands because their real agenda is to make those lands available for mineral extraction or for sale to private interests.
Think big real estate de-velopers. Think land-locked. Think polluted air, watersheds and aquifers. Think dwindling tourism. That’s when my busi-ness and all others like mine are harmed. That’s when we start having to lay off employ-
ees. That’s when Utah starts losing its home-grown tax rev-enue stream.
My brothers run cattle on their ranches in Texas, a land-locked state. They complain that Texas has no federal land for grazing cattle. And that they must travel to Utah to fish or hunt, or otherwise pay hun-dreds or thousands to do so on private land in their own state. How would we feel if our fa-vorite spot in southern Utah were closed off with a sign that says “Private Property — No Trespassing — ABC Oil Ex-ploration”?
Who’s promoting this idea? HB148, the Transfer of Public Lands Act, was shep-herded through the Utah Leg-islature by Republican Rep. Ken Ivory. The name Ivory in Utah means real estate. The Senate sponsor, Republican Wayne Niederhauser — is also big in real estate. Then there’s Gov. Gary Herbert. The largest portion of his war chest comes from real estate and energy in-terests (dirty energy). So here’s the real “land grab”: private de-velopers and tax-subsidized ex-tractive industries spoiling our lands, air and watersheds, only to take their profits out of state.
Worse, Utah couldn’t benefit from any sell-off of the public lands. When title is transferred to a state, federal law requires that 95 percent of sales proceeds be returned to federal coffers. Utah taxpayers would bear all the costs, while the feds would retain the prof-its.
And sadly, as always, Utah schools get the short end of the stick.

BRYCE - On March 20, 21, 22, the annual meeting of the Utah Chapter of the Wild-life Society was held at Ruby’s Inn. Wildlife biologists, college students and professors, along with federal and state agencies and wildlife leaders from all over Utah and beyond came to share their expertise and learn from others about wildlife and its future in an ever-more com-plicated world. Approximately 150 were in attendance, down a bit from past years, perhaps due to the recent change in travel expense budgets in-curred by several federal and state agencies.
The meetings opened with a welcome by Jeff Bradybaugh, Superintendent of Bryce Can-yon National Park, and Greg Sheehan, newly appointed Director of the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. In the opening plenary session, spe-cial presentations were made by several individuals, includ-ing Dr. Tamara Goetz, former Utah State Science Advisor to Gov. Huntsman, Dr. James Sheppard, a director associated with the San Diego Zoo, and Brad Hill, an avid nature pho-tographer in British Columbia. His extensive display of photo-graphs taken in the Great Bear Rain Forest was incredible.
Most of the sessions were devoted to technical reports where participants spent 15 minutes each giving a presen-tation of their work, whether it was as an agency employee or as a masters or doctors degree project study by a college stu-dent. The growth of knowledge is amazing in so many areas of wildlife management. For ex-ample, in Wayne, Garfield , and Kane Counties, the ongoing satellite GPS tracking of sage grouse, desert bighorn sheep, elk, and pronghorns is making information available to wild-life managers that was largely unavailable in times past. The wealth of this detailed informa-tion on animal movements and use of available habitats is a critical component in effective

wildlife management. In addi-tion to the technical sessions, a conference room was devoted to poster displays and a photo contest of landscape, wildlife, and biologists at work.
An evening awards ban-quet was held where several in-dividuals were recognized for their outstanding contributions to wildlife. The two top awards were presented to individuals for their work in developing several underpasses on state highways to allow for passage of wildlife, especially deer mi-gration. The employee of the Utah Department of Transpor-tation was especially appreci-ated for his work in helping wildlife and saving Utah mo-torists many millions of dollars in unnecessary vehicle damage and possibly human injuries or even death.
Recognition is given each year to individuals and groups from many backgrounds who have made accommodating wildlife an important part of their work. It reminds me of the awards given in recent years to the Kane County Commission and the Panguitch District of the US Forest Service for their work in promoting the interests of wildlife.
The meetings ended with an invitation by Robert and Teri Driedonks for attendees to stop by and enjoy a free visit to the nearby Bryce Wildlife Mu-seum. Needless to say, all who visited were awe-struck with the museum’s displays.
Even though most mem-bers of the Utah Chapter are involved in some way with the ongoing management of wild-life in Utah, anyone is invited to become a member and par-ticipate in the chapter’s activi-ties. The wildlife resource of Utah is critical to our lifestyle, culture and economy, so every-one has a stake in its successful management.

up front in the lobby, and a room with “vintage” items and Harriet’s sewing button collec-tion in the back.
“I think if it were all to-gether in one room it wouldn’t look as good,” she says. “But the building makes it work.”
Phil and Harriet have prid-ed themselves on providing a place for local and beginning artists to show work, and over time have exhibited Lynn Grif-fin and Valerie Orlermann, and are currently showing pen and ink drawings of local scenes by Howard Hutchison, art pho-tography by Laurent Martres, and watercolors of Escalante’s historic buildings by Harriet herself.
Harriet for many years did landscape paintings on china, in particular vases, where she spent a great deal of time working out the 360 degree ar-rangement to make the paint-ing work from every angle. She was trained by a formal Swiss china painter in the European style, and started with flowers, and was eventually inspired by Rookwood Pottery which did scenic vases, and moved from flowers to landscapes. She’s painted Zion Canyon on a vase, and Bryce Canyon, the Es-calante Canyon, and Devils’s
Garden. More recently, she has moved to watercolors, empha-sizing local historic structures. “It’s a similar process as work-ing on the vases,” she says, “moving from light to dark.”
Opening the gallery and drumming up business were two different efforts, however, and the Priskas helped to put to-gether a new Escalante Cham-ber of Commerce in 1994, to bring attention to Escalante.
“I think we were on a list somewhere as one of the ten most endangered towns in the U.S.,” says Harriet. “It was important to let people know there was something beyond Bryce, so we started with the Chamber and early on we published the walking tour of homes and barns because we felt if we could get people to get out of their cars and walk around we’d get them to stay longer. But really, it was the Monument that did it. Creating the Monument did more for us than any of our local efforts, and after that, our business re-ally started taking off.”
Beyond the Chamber, Harriet in particular has found numerous ways to engage and with and bolster her com-munity. Over the years she’s worked with local kids in edu-cational art classes, has been a core member of the Escalante Canyons Art Festival, has done civic projects as a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, has spearheaded an effort to seek status for Es-calante on the National Regis-ter of Historic Places, has start-ed a local Utah Native Plant Society chapter and collected native plant and wildflower seeds for sale to others, and regularly participates as a ven-dor at Escalante’s local farmers market.
“I went for my dream, which was to have a gallery—whether it would succeed or not. We’ve been doing it for 20 years so I guess it has succeed-ed. And we absolutely love it here. Escalante has soul. I can’t describe it, but it’s got it.”
Local residents are invit-ed to come in and help Philip and Harriet celebrate their 21st year. Residents of Escalante and Boulder and the surround-ing areas receive a discount on purchases as as thanks for the local support.

Wayne High School’s track and field team had no shortage of icy weather at their track meet in Salina on the 23rd of March. The Matt Burr Invitational began at nine in the morning, and the high for the day was a freezing thirty degrees.
Despite the harsh winds, chilly temperatures, and fro-zen toes, the Badger athletes stepped up and performed well. After all, it wasn’t much different from the kind of weather they had been training in back home.
There were approximate-ly six schools that competed, among which were mostly 2A schools. The climax of the meet included the girl’s 4X100 meter relay race dominating and taking first place. They also qualified for state! The
team consisted of two pairs of sisters: Maggie and Hannah Ellet, and Catrina and Clarissa John-son. Also young Kaitlyn McCoy, a freshman, qualified for state with an impressive jump of 4’7” that landed her second place over-all.
The rest of the events proceeded with Clarissa John-son taking third place in the 100-meter dash and the 200-meter dash. Lau-ren Jackson also placed sec-ond in the 3200-meter race and third in the 1600-meter race. For the boys, Marc Sim-mons took third in the discus.
letes, and we hope your next meet will be a little warmer. There is not a meet this week-end due to spring break, but the next meet will occur in Manti on the ninth of April.
Lauren Jackson is a se-nior at Wayne High School.
The Bob Cats participated in the Pineview track meet on Friday and Saturday and 48 teams took part. Chesney Campbell in the high jump and Tyce Barney, in the Javelin were the only athletes to place.
The following athletes qualified for state:Keldon Norris - 899 M. 208 and 300 hurdles 43.96Kyler Norris 3200 M 10:37Tyce Barney – High Jump 5;84x100 Relay - Baylee Plamer, Whitni Orton, Catlyn

WAYNE COUNTY WINDIt’s spring-time in Utah, but the weather don’t change.It’s still chilly goin’ on this piece of range.It just might warm up by about July Fourth,If the winds of Wayne County don’t blow from the north. That Wayne County wind rips the breath from your throat It whips up your pant-leg and seeps through your coat. If I go to hell when I die I will grin, ‘Cause I know that it’s warmer than the Wayne County wind.The sheep flocks are sheared now. The lambs will be born.The ewes are all naked, so cold and forlorn.It seems like a poor way for life to begin,In a cold frozen pasture in the Wayne County wind.
That Wayne County wind is evil and bold.You quiver and shiver and dance from the cold.The flames of perdition sound okay to me,If the Wayne County wind will just let me be.
The firewood pile is dimishing fast.I’m stokin’ and pokin’ and hopin’ it lasts.The horses point north with their shaggy hind ends.It’s their only protection from the Wayne County winds. The Wayne County wind just purely ain’t nice. Your nose and your fingertips turns into ice. When toddy time comes you must warm up your gin, To thaw what’s been froze by the Wayne County wind.My grammpa once told me, when I was a youth,And I never heard him speak less than the truth,
The coldest dang winter that he ever saw,
Happened one spring in Wayne County, Utah. That Wayne County wind chokes the breath from your throat. Puts tears in your eyeballs and blows through your coat. If I go to hell when I die, then I win. ‘Cause the Wayne County wind won’t git me agin.

The Students’ “Say”by MckeNNa FiNch
Just One
Early Childhood Education ClassTheWayneHighSchoolEarlyChildhoodEducationClasswillbeholdingadevelopmental
Helen Keller said “I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; I will not refuse to do something I can do.”
I’ve never been good at math but one thing I seem to understand is degrees. Now I don’t understand everything about degrees, but this I do know: If you start two lines at the same point but they dif-fer from one another in just one degree, those two lines will become further and fur-ther from each other every time they grow. Now there are times when I look back on my life and wonder if I had not made that one choice, that one degree, what path would my life be on today? We all have those deciding moments in our lives, even those everyday little choices that can change the complete road of our lives! One person who has had this effect on not only my life, but every single student’s life

In keeping with the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day both first grade teachers expressed how lucky they feel to have great students along with wonderful parents. Mrs. Laura Brinker-hoff and her students were excited to receive a book dona-tion for their classroom from Scott and Jennifer Christensen, “We want to say thank you; we appreciate the books!” Mrs. Wendy Potter and her students would like to thank Mrs. Tina Faddis. Mrs. Faddis spends 2 to 3 days a week in the classroom during math time, helping stu-dents. “She has been able to help students who have fallen behind or have not mastered their facts.”
With the spring festival right around the corner the first graders, as well as the en-tire school are working hard to learn their dances. Mrs. Can-dice Webb, has volunteered her time to help the first grade students learn their dance, both Mrs. Potter and Mrs. Brinker-hoff would like to thank her for her time and effort, and “Watch out! said Mrs. Potter, “We can skip like no other.” The spring festival will be held Thursday April 18th, at Wayne Middle School. There will be two per-formances: a matinee at 1:00 and an evening show at 6:30.
With fourth quarter of-ficially underway students continue to prepare for end of level testing. Mr. Ellett’s fifth grade students continue to visit Mrs. Brinkerhoff’s first graders and buddy read. The program is helping, “They are improving their reading skills.” added Mrs. Brinkerhoff. Read-ing skills continue to improve in Mrs. Potter’s classroom as well. Students should be read-ing 50 words per minute, “We have all increased and are close if not passing that goal.” said Mrs. Potter. “We are [continu-ing] to count backwards to the last day of school, as of today we are at 38 days left.” In writ-ing Mrs. Potter’s class wrote about feeling lucky…
Ian: I feel lucky when… “I go to school. I feel lucky when I play with my friend.”
Jake: I feel lucky when… “I go to my cousin’s. I feel lucky when I play power rang-ers.”
Emily: I feel lucky when… “I play. I feel lucky when I make a new friend.”
Ms. MarJean Davis’ sec-ond grade students were sur-prised by their teacher on Mon-day, March 18. “We had a class birthday party to celebrate all the students’ birthdays.”
She said. After lunch students walking into their classroom to find a balloon on each desk, “We had a cake. We had gum balls. We had cookies and we watched a movie.” said Range Welch. “We had chocolate and vanilla ice cream.” added Tayla Pikavit. “It was really fun,” stated Miah Pace, “We got to have the party because we are really good most of the time.” Ms. Da-vis, shared some fun writings from her pupils also. In honor of Dr.
Seuss’ birthday each student was asked if they would want the Cat in the Hat to visit them on a rainy day and ex-plain why. The fol-lowing are 3 of her students answers and explanations;
Bryndis: “Yes because me an Kali will have so much fun with him. He would make our day better when mom and dad are at work. So we won’t get bored. I like the cat in the hat.”
Manny: “Yes! I want the Cat in the Hat because me and him will go on adventers. We will see so many bugs, and ani-mals.”
Emma: “I would like it if the cat in the hat would come to my house on a rainy day. I hope he will bring thing one or thing tow. If he doesn’t I don’t care at lest he came.”

Thank you to all of those who helped with 4-H basket-ball this past week; coaches, community council members and our referees, Jake Stevens, Brock Brinkerhoff, Braden Brian and Clase Lyman. There will be no 4-H basketball to-night due to spring break.
at Panguitch High School is Debra Pollock.
Mrs. Pollock has been teaching at Panguitch High for 32 years and through all this time she has helped so many students. As a member of the student body council and as the English Sterling Scholar at Panguitch I have had the op-portunity to get to know Mrs. Pollock very well in the past four years. I have seen her con-cern for not only every student in her class, but also any stu-dent walking through the halls of Panguitch High. If she does not know a certain student she will go out of her way to find out about that student and to make sure that the student has people helping him/her along.
Mrs. Pollock is now bat-tling stage four Breast Cancer once again, after it came back after thirteen years in remis-sion, along with lung cancer. She is going through some very severe treatments and needs our support. Living in
such a small community and close region is such a blessing, because at this time we are asking for this support of any-one who has ever been moved that one degree by a teacher, a friend, or an example.
There will be a 5K run/walk taking place on May 11, 2013 at Panguitch High School. It is $10 to register before April 11th and $20 af-ter April 11th. You can sign up on active.com if you are 18 or older, if you are younger than 18 and would still like to sign up you can get your registra-tion forms from Lisa Johnson, Josh Pollock, or at select lo-cal businesses. You can also email Josh Pollock at [email protected] to get the registration form if you live out of town.
Please support this amaz-ing lady who has changed so many people’s lives! Thank you!

The Bryce Valley Fourth Graders just finished up their re-ports on Habitats. They put on an assembly for the elementary students and parents. They had a lot of support and three of the murals are being displayed in the hall at the elementary school. They studied forests, deserts, and wet lands for this project. They are now moving on to study rocks and minerals. They did a study on minerals uses and their properties. They also are studying times tables and doing 3 digits multiplied by two.
The Clark (Hansen) Planetarium visited and brought displays and other materials on Space.
There was a Anti-Bullying presentation on “Internet Safety”. It helped to see what was safe and not on the internet for the students.
It is the end of the third term. Principal Layne Le Fevre will be recognizing the third term readers for their efforts and advancements.

Second Marriages and estate Planningby JeFFery J. MckeNNa
VisionA mother of two teenage
boys was constantly being asked to look for things that they couldn’t find. Most of the time these items were di-rectly in front of them. Seeing her frustration over this when it happened yet again, one of her sons remarked: “It’s not my fault, Mom. I don’t have parental vision.”

The Two “F”s Lawyer and
witnessA witness to an automo-
bile accident was testifying. The lawyer asked him, “Did you ac-tually see the accident?”
The witness: “Yes, sir.”The lawyer: “How far
away were you when the acci-dent happened?”
The witness: “Thirty-one feet, six and one quarter inches.”
The lawyer (thinking he’d trap the witness): “Well, sir, will you tell the jury how you knew it was exactly that distance?”
The witness: “Because when the accident happened I took out a tape and measured it. I knew some lawyer would ask me that question.”

Green Thumb
I don’t have much of a green thumb, but I like to have a few plants in my house.
One day when my mother was over to babysit the children, I remarked that one of the plants in my window was looking poorly and asked if she could try to fix it while I was gone.
When I returned, to my surprise, the plant looked beau-tiful and full. “What did you do?” I asked.
Her reply: “I turned it around.”

The husband was con-stantly working on their de-fective washing machine, and his language was often color-ful. One day the daughter re-turned home from a movie, and the parents asked if she had learned anything from it.
“Only a lot of four-letter words,” she told them, “that until now I always thought were parts of the washing ma-chine.”

Love knows no bounds. Many couples have experi-enced the extent and truth of this common saying.
Often, older couples have to cope with adult children who cannot understand why mom or dad wants to remarry. By updating one’s estate plan, many concerns related to the marriage can be minimized.
In second marriages later in life, there is often a desire to allow the estate of the first spouse to die to be available for a surviving spouse during his or her life. However, the deceased spouse often wants the estate to ultimately be dis-tributed to his or her children upon the surviving spouse’s death.
The best way to ensure that one’s assets are available for a surviving spouse but ul-timately distributed to one’s children from a prior marriage is through the use of a trust. The trust can be created within a will (this is called a testa-mentary trust) or it can be cre-ated within a living trust (this is a trust created while one is alive).
Significantly, the trust maker would set forth the terms of the trust according to his or her wishes, and would select the trustee (or trustees) to manage the trust. Upon the death of the trust maker, the trustee would then manage the
trust assets subject to those specified wishes of the trust maker.
For couples in a second marriage, it is often important to sign a marital agreement that states each spouse can dispose of his or her estate as desired. If such a document is not signed, a surviving spouse could legally attempt to “over-ride” the estate plan of the de-ceased spouse.
Often, a given state’s law
will provide that a surviving spouse can “elect against the will.” This means that a sur-viving spouse is entitled to a spousal share as specified by statute despite the fact that the will may provide differently.
Proper estate planning in these circumstances can be a great blessing. It can relieve significant concerns of adult children when a parent remar-ries later in life, and it can bring peace of mind to the par-ent, knowing that he or she has succeeded in protecting the fi-nancial legacy of the children.

Gender of Inanimate Objects
You may not know that many non-living things have a gen-der. For example:
1) Ziploc Bags -- They are Male, because they hold every-thing in, but you can see right through them.
2) Copiers -- They are Female, because once turned off, it takes a while to warm them up again. It’s an effective reproduc-tive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can wreak havoc if the wrong buttons are pushed.
3) Tire -- Male, because it goes bald and it’s often over-inflated.
4) Hot Air Balloon -- Male, because, to get it to go any-where, you have to light a fire under it and, of course, there’s the hot air component.
5) Sponges -- Female, because they’re soft, squeezable and retain water.
6) Web Page -- Female, because it’s always getting hit on.7) Subway -- Male, because it uses the same old lines to
pick people up.8) Hourglass -- Female, because over time, the weight can
shift to the bottom.9) Hammer -- Male, because it hasn’t changed much over
the last 5,000 years, but it’s handy to have around.10) Remote Control -- Female. Ha! You thought it’d be
Male. But consider this -- it gives a man pleasure, he’d be lost without it, and while he doesn’t always know the right buttons to push, he keeps trying.
One time I was in a busi-ness meeting and an Asian friend of mine, Jiao* said, “I trust Cynthia 200 percent.” I had heard her tell me that pri-vately before, but not in front of others. And of course, it made me feel pretty good, that someone would trust me that much, even though part of me was embarrassed that she’d publically announced it. But then one of the men we were meeting with said, “Jiao, have you ever hear of the two f’s?
“No,” she said wide-eyed looking confused.
With a big smile he sim-ply said quietly and reverently, “One’s fear, the other’s faith.”
“Oh, oh,” she said.“And you’ve got to have
faith,” he said with a beautiful smile.
“Yes,” she replied shak-ing her head.
How many times, throughout your day, do you let fear run or rule your life when the correct “f” is faith. I mean, you do know who fear comes from, right? Plain and simple, the adversary. And he wants you to think so little of yourself, your circumstances and situation and even of oth-er people. Yet, think of how much time you waste doing that when that time should be spent in building not only you up, but other people. After all, you’re a child of God and you’ve already been divinely designed and created. There-fore, knowing that alone, how can you not be unique and spe-cial? Still, over time, whether through the media, how you were raised, what others think or say about you, what’s hap-pened to you in your life whether through your or
someone else’s choices or just happenstance, etc., can lead you to put more emphasis on the wrong “f”; the “f” of fear. Thankfully, though, Hebrews 11:1 tells you what faith is, “the substance of things hoped for, the devidence of things not seen,” (LDS.org, 2013). And Corinthians 5:7 tells you how it’s done: “walk by afaith, not by sight:” (LDS.org, 2013).
These scriptures remind of a Blinded Veterans Confer-ence I was honored to serve at a few years ago. These soldiers who were blind were walking the halls with faith. They had to have the faith to go even one step in front of them and in Las Vegas of all places! Some of them had guide dogs. Some had friends and family members guiding them. Some used canes and walking sticks. Yet, every sin-gle one of them had a smile on their face and was happy. One was even a keynote speaker and was one of the most en-thusiastic speakers I’ve ever heard. And even though his life, and that of his little fam-ily’s, was completely altered due to his blindness, he was excited for life, went back to school to become a psycholo-gist to help others, and walked forward in faith. When I think about these soldiers who rely on their faith every day, “not by sight”, it gives little cre-
dence to those of us who can see, but do not walk by faith.
Life is excellent no matter what your life circumstances, but only you can walk with that attitude. You’ve got to believe it’s excellent. You’ve got to believe you’re hand-some or beautiful. You’ve got to believe you’re deserv-ing of every good thing in life. You’ve got to never give up. You’re got to believe in the goodness of others even when they or someone in particular has shattered your dreams. You’ve got to or the “f” of fear will destroy you. And you, for the sake of yourself and God, and all the others that can ben-efit from your divine self and gifts, and for the sake of the “f” of faith, you’ve got to be-lieve. After all, “if there be no faith . God can do no miracle:” (Ether 12:12, LDS Scripture, 2013). And last I checked, you believe and want mira-cles, right? Thus, stay focused then on the “f” of faith and you will see them, but make sure you’re also looking for them.

Muscles in MotionEQUINE AND CANINE MASSAGE THERAPY
Muscles in MotionEQUINE AND CANINE MASSAGE THERAPY
In what has been reminis-cent of a “Hogan’s Hero’s” ep-isode, or could be considered Torrey Town’s own version of “Survivor, “Agave” a four pound pure bred Mexican Chi-huahua owned by Arron Tor-rey unknowingly or provok-ingly chose to escape the safe confines her fenced-in yard into the wilds of Torrey Town. Facing insurmountable odds and definite life threatening peril, the four-pound Chihua-hua “Agave” disappeared into the Torrey underground and the darkest places in Town.
Wanted posters with “Agave’s” picture were prom-inently posted at the Torrey Post Office and on the social media web site Facebook that generated much discussion by folks that daily gather around Brian Hansen’s well know weather rock at the Torrey Post Office.
Like an “Amber” alert, locally and immediately “Aga-ve” sightings began to pour in. The first sightings were near the 300 East block of Torrey by Julia Deifinbaugh, then just as quickly “Agave” was seen racing as fast as her little Chihuahua legs would carry her down the Dump Road by Larry Bagley, it was then and there that it became apparent Agave “the ultimate Torrey Town Survivor” had miracu-lously survived coyotes, bob-cats, and silently swooping owls.
Then came the 12” March snowstorm, six inches higher than “Agave” was tall and any hope for “Agave’s” survival began to wane and a dark sad cloud settled over Torrey Town, but as optimistic as the words of Dunc Talor always are hope for Agave ‘s safe re-turn was never lost.
Rob and Diane Torrey, operators of the Torrey Trad-ing Post, the Torrey Post Of-fice and proud parents of Ar-
ron Torrey (the discouraged parent of “Agave” the surely and by then a 3 pound slim pure bred Mexican Chihua-hua) were daily and constantly bombarded with questions about “Agave”. It became all too apparent that the Tor-rey families as well as many Torrey Town residents were becoming all too distressed by Agave’s, the ground squirrel sized Chihuahua’s, ill timed escape and disappearance.
Two weeks into the mak-ing, like the Greek survivor myths of Jason and the Ar-gonauts, stories of “Agave” the four-pound Chihuahua of Spanish linage and her sure doggedly demise in wilds of Torrey Town began to slowly and mystically swirl around Torrey Town like the smoke rising from Elaine Chesnut’s chimney, almost as if we were all awaiting the news of a new Pope in Rome.
As suddenly as Agave disappeared, two and a half weeks later, defying all the odds of the unpredictable March weather and the con-stantly hungry and savaging animals, Alicia Durfey hap-pily reported Agave being seen behind the Winkle place. Agave was then successfully apprehended much to the de-light of the concerned Torrey Town residents and the visibly distraught Torrey family.
In a slimmed down state, and weighing in at less than three and one half pounds Agave is presently peacefully resting and refusing any inter-views about her lost two-week plus undocumented adventure. Precariously dangling from the local grape vine it is being openly rumored that there has been a smooth, south of the border mustached Chihuahua, going by the name of Poncho in the area. The only one that seems a bit disappointed by Agave’s capture is “Duncan”,
Mac Curtis’s free roaming Dachshund.
If you haven’t noticed it is March, that special time of year that weather forecasters either love or hate depending on whom you are talking to. For some one that gets paid to get something right or wrong 50% of the time March is a favorite because no one else can attempt to predict what the weather is going to do either. It is also that time of year when you anxiously turn on your garden hose and it is a surprise if it is frozen or not.
I happen to think March is a confusing month anyway, three quarters of it is in winter and the last quarter in spring. Not that it matters a whole lot at 7,000 feet elevation or in Wayne County. Like Dunc Taylor always has said “it is what it is and you just have to make the most of it and if you are anybody you do”.
If you have found your-self passing through Torrey in the past couple of weeks you will have seen a noticeable difference on Main Street. The yellow lights are once again blinking at the Chuckwagon, Slackers parking lot has cars in it, Gallery 24 is preparing for their annual opening, and Red Cliff restaurant continues to invite customers in. Down at the junction there is noticeable action at Lee’s, and up on the hill the Broken Spur is attract-ing business from highways 12 and 24. Also worth noting is that the Wayne County Travel Council is setting up shop with the new Information Center on the corner of Highway 12 and 24 with funds from the travel-ing public that visit our beauti-ful area of the state.
Most noticeable in Tor-rey is the slight green sheen that is starting to appear in the willow trees, lawns and autumn leaf covered flower patches, another sure sign that
the Easter Bunny will soon be stocking up his/her basket with goodies at Royals Market and coming to every town in Wayne County soon.
Anticipating Easter is another planning problem for March, sometimes it is in March and sometimes it is April depending on the year, lucky for most us we have informational calendars (or smart phones) to keep us in-formed when Easter is going to be.
According to Wikipedia, Easter is a moveable feast. The First Council of Nicaea estab-lished the date of Easter as the first Sunday after the full moon (the Paschal Full Moon) following the March equinox. Ecclesiastically, the equinox is reckoned to be on 21 March (even though the equinox oc-curs, astronomically speaking, on 20 March in most years), and the “Full Moon” is not necessarily the astronomically correct date. The date of Eas-ter therefore varies between 22 March and 25 April.
Easter is a Christian festi-val and holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his cruci-fixion at Calvary as described in the New Testament. Easter is the culmination of the Pas-sion of Christ, preceded by Lent, a forty-day period of fasting, prayer, and penance. The last week of Lent is called Holy Week, and it contains the days of the Easter Triduum, including Maundy Thursday (also known as Holy Thurs-day), commemorating the Last Supper and its preceding foot washing, as well as Good Fri-day, commemorating the cru-cifixion and death of Jesus.
For me, Easter is and al-ways been my favorite cele-bration of life, one that always seems to prominently carry me through the rest of the year. Have a Happy Easter.
This month has “Marched” right along and April is just a few days away. So watch out for salt in the sugar bowl or some other fool-ish prank on Monday, April Fools Day!
But first we need to help the kids entertain, or be enter-tained, by the Easter Bunny.
The fun begins for the teenagers on Friday night, the 29th, 5:30 at the City Park. There will be a photo scaven-ger hunt followed by a glow in the dark egg hunt. On Saturday morning, 30th, 11:30 A.M., the Easter Bunny will make a grand entrance and will begin by having pictures taken with anyone who wants one. The picture will cost $2.00 and you can pick it up right there. At 1:00 P. M. hamburgers and hot dogs will be for sale. Gift items will be raffled off all day and will go through the 5th of April, with a drawing on the 6th. All proceeds will be divided between: Next year’s egg hunt, the Care and Share (bring items you would like to donate for that), and our lo-cal Fire Department. Tell all the kids about it and they will remind you when it is time to go…or before!
Derlynne Brooks was in St. George over the weekend visiting her daughter, Whitney.
They said they were go-
ing to shop until they dropped, and that was probably just the first day! But Wait! Facebook says they are in Henderson, Nevada and Derlynne’s sister, Tracy Robison, is there with them. Anyway, hope they have fun!
Ted and Laura Engberg went to Salt Lake City to visit their son, Shilo. Shilo is recov-ering from a broken arm and Laura has some torn tendons in her hand, sustained while bowling.
Debbie Lyman spent some time in St. George with her sister Janis Gledhill, after Janis had heart surgery. Last report, Janis was doing well.
Ryan and Tari and Brent and Patrice Cottam have had the two children of Elisa and Nate Lyman for a week. The Lymans just returned from a trip to Puerto Rico. I hope that’s right. My grandson, Alan Sorensen, just returned from vacation to the Domini-can Republic and I’ve had trouble remembering just where he went too!
Val Sparks has started a new business. It’s called “Val’s New Freedom Yard Care.”
So if you want to go on vacation, or even if you don’t, she will keep your yard look-ing nice for you. Val visited with her son, Willie Sparks, in Ogden this past weekend.
Launie Barlow had a visit from her granddaughter, Rachel Thayer, on the week-end. Rachel is attending the University of Colorado and is working toward a doctorate degree.
Since we didn’t have a lot of snow in town this past win-ter, everyone has been keeping an eye on our reservoir to see how full it is going to be this summer. There was quite a lot of snow in the mountains and, since there hasn’t been any run off so far, it is expected that the reservoir will be full and we will have, at least, as much water as we had last summer. This is just an observation, but if you want more information
Pat Coughlin, Link Chyn-oweth or Mark Lisonbee could tell you more. Or you could drive up and see for yourself, that’s always a beautiful place to be.
Congratulations to Lind-sey Phillips! She was chosen All State on the 1A Basketball First Team. Was there ever any doubt that she would be? The Deseret News stated that she made an average of 18 points per game all year. She is really an all around athlete. She is the daughter of Todd and Jill Phillips.
My granddaughter, Devyn Sorensen, Salina, was named North Sevier High School
MVP in Basketball and was picked All State on the 2A Basketball third team. She is a daughter of Jon and Jillyn So-rensen.
Pat Gonder had surgery on her hand and is now sport-ing a cast. She says Owen is now the chief cook, bottle washer and etc. Hang in there, Owen!
Katie Meisenbach had her tonsils out last week, so she wasn’t talking too much. If she likes ice cream, now is her chance to get lots of that this week!
Tommy and Tammy Al-vey have both been in the hos-pital.
Brenda Lyman took a bad fall down her steps and will be laid up for a while.
Gloria Porter took a little trip to the hospital recently, but is back home and doing okay again.
Tillie Nixon is in the hos-pital in Panguitch receiving treatments.
We wish all these people the best and hope they will all be well soon.
Brandon Nez spoke in church last week prior to leav-ing on his mission. He will be serving in the California Long Beach Mission.
The family of Neil Owen is happy to have him home again. He arrived last Friday
after serving a LDS mission for two years. He and his brother, Kelsom, spoke in the Second Ward last Sunday and Jaycee Nez played a beauti-ful solo on her violin, “How Great Thou Art.” Neil is a son of Ransom and Kelleen Owen. Welcome home, Neil!
Max and Logann Eager and Dirk Durfey were the speakers in the First Ward.
Jimmy and Amy Alvey are in town. Jimmy is help-ing Danny Meisenbach put the sprinkler system in his lawn and Amy and the kids are vis-iting her parents, Johnny and Peggy Meisenbach.
The Junior class wanted me to remind you again of their Junior Prom on April 12.
Get those dance shoes polished up and be ready! Decorations will be in a west-ern motif “At Twilight Time.” Light refreshments will be served. Tickets to enjoy this concert/dance will be $5.00 for everyone age 5 to 95 and Mike Griffin’s band “Most Wanted” will not disappoint you.
The Escalante First Ward has a new Relief Society Pres-idency. Ronda Barney is the new President, Monica Taylor and Eva Durfey are her coun-cilors and Lisa Nez is the Sec-retary. Members of the out-going Presidency were Lori Beebe, Pres., Debbie Allen and Marty Henry, Councilors and Shelley Barney, Secretary.
The combined Sons of the Utah Pioneers and Daughters of the Utah Pioneers meeting last Thursday night was en-joyed by all. After dinner they were entertained by Renee Singletary , who played the violin, her son, Austin, who played the guitar and Kathy Griffin who accompanied them on the piano. Crockett Dumas even tried to dance a little, but not for very long as he just had knee surgery not too long ago. Marlene Stowe then gave the D.U.P. Lesson which was about George Al-bert Smith.

We are happy to hear that Helma Haas is on the mend. She is home from the hospi-tal and doing so much better. Helma we send you our love and prayers and hope you are soon back on your feet and do-ing well.
As they do each year Kathern Syrett, Ver Jean Clark, and Renon Gibson meet up and have a great time reminisc-ing about their lives past and present. They watch movies, laugh and cry together, and have good food. They talk about their parents and friends and just catch up on each oth-ers lives. They look forward to this each year and how fun it is. More of us should try this with our families.
It was good to hear from Shannon Pollock, his dad Vance Pollock and youth speaker Danielle Brinkerhoff a cousin. They did a great job and gave us a few laughs.
Saturday, March 30th will be the Young Women’s meet-ing at 6:00 P.M. in Tropic.
A wonderful few hours were spent with friends in Es-calante as the Relief Society held their Women’s Meeting. The theme was Cheer, Bless and Brighten and they did just that. Thanks To April Le Fe-vre, Dixie Burbidge, Cherish Syrett and Sue Bassett who provided us with a nicely deco-rated table and wonderful food. Individual Quiches made by Dixie Burbidge, orange rolls, yogurt and fruit and juices. It was delicious. We listened to Sue Basset as she told us of some experiences in her life and we treated to a Violin Solo of “Sunshine in My Soul” played by Megan Cottam and she was accompanied by Cheri Feltner. Two very talented women of the Stake. We then went to separate workshops to learn new things. In the Cheer workshop we were taught how t- cook with Fillo Dough. How fun was that. We sampled some of the finished products and all decided it was worth the effort to try and go home and see if we could do the same. Thanks to Dixie for this work-shop. The Bless Workshop was showing how to have activities for our Family Home Evenings to strengthen our families. We enjoyed Heidi Shakespeare and Valerie and Nancy Kay and their mom, Enid, all who are family of Sue Bassett. Won-derful ideas and we went away with handouts how to repli-cate the activities on our own. In the Brighten workshop we learned how to turn the Old into New. With paper, paint, etc we learned how to dress up second hand items into bright new things to decorate our homes. We learned how to use
pallets to make tables, shelves, desks and how to transform an old bedside table into a bright new looking table. This was done by Sara Syrett and Jessica Stewart. The whole time was well planned and all the women from the Escalante Stake were invited. There was great sup-port and we all felt refurbished ourselves as well. Thanks to the great planning and all the hard work to make this a great day for us.
Congratulations to Brax-ton Syrett who was named MVP in the Deseret News. Also to Whitini Syrett who went to play in an All Star Game. More details on this next week.
Grandparents Tom and Gay Shakespeare are happy to report that granddaughters Brooklyn Shakespeare and her sister Kayla both ran in Track Meets this last week. Brooklyn took her events at Kanab High School and Kayla rand in the Cedar - Canyon View meet. They are both daughters of Jeff Shakespeare and I am sorry I did not get his wife’s name.
Congratulations go out to Clinton Adkins who is get-ting married and will have the reception on April 5th. His fi-ance’ is from Hurricane and we wish them the best. Clinton is the son of Lori Lee Adkins of Henrieville. Other weddings coming up are Jacqueline Tal-bot and Evan Scott on April 27th and Nathan Cloud and his fiance’ also in April.
Kevin and Emily Clark spoke in Henrieville today with Bobby Jones and Eva Sorenson as youth speakers. The choir sang “Lilies of the Field” and it was beautiful. Many of the Young men and Women sing in the choir.
Cannonville had Rob and Sally Goulding as speakers in their ward. Their new church is coming along great and they hope to be in it by the begin-ning of summer.
Alma and Anita Fletcher made a trip to St. George to visit Anita’s mom, Marie Brod-erick. While they were there they did some work around the house for Marie and then came home on Saturday.
There have been some changes in the Cub Scout lead-ership in Tropic. Bob Harman is the Cub Master, Judy Frost is temporarily taking the Wolf Den until a new leader is found, Derrick & Laura Pollock, Shi-loh and Mykelle Richards are all working with the Bear Den and Carl and Kay Shakespear are the new Webelos Leaders. Congratulations everyone. You will love it.
The Cannonville and Hen-rieville ladies met together to celebrate the Relief Society
Birthday and had a great time. They we awarded faux money for service and charity acts. They then held and auction where they could spend their “dollars” and get items that were donated. David Pollock acted as the auctioneer. He has a wonderful voice for that. Ja-nis Twitchell was in charge and everyone says well done.
The Blue and Gold Ban-quet was held and it went very well. Angie Steele as in charge and everything was done very well.
The food drive by the scouts was held last Saturday and if you still want to contrib-ute food to the Utah Food Bank contact a scout.

The first sign of spring, a line around Henrie’s Drive-in, must be dad’s turn to cook. The weather is not cooperat-ing, it’s still cold out. Warn-ing! The snow is really great up at Brian Head, but the lifts usually close a couple of weeks after Easter, so get your boards out for those last runs for the winter.
I hope you made it to the Easter Egg Hunt, that was this afternoon. If you don’t have children this is still a fun event, if only you are taking pictures of the fastest 10 minutes of the year. Saturday is the annual Hurricane Street Rod show and is also a signal that spring is here. Pat and I have made it to this event for many years and we travel down through Zions and make it an all day outing.
The Senior Care Cen-ter had their Easter Egg hunt a little early this year and the Bunny was there last Saturday, bringing joy to the Seniors and their grandchildren. Thanks to the bunny for taking precious Saturday time.
April brings a lot of events to the High School, with the Junior Prom coming up and the Sterling Scholar competition. This is the time the students need to be putting in for the numerous scholar-
ships for college that are avail-able. Contact Mr. Bennett and see what scholarship would fit for which college you wish to attend. Don’t forget Snow College in your upper educa-tion desires, they have the same core classes as the Uni-versities and for about a third the price.
Well, the State Legislat-ing session is over and none to soon. Some of the more humorous bills that they passed—or didn’t—I find hilarious. A bill to make it a felony to be involved in Cock Fighting failed. Reason is if they become felons they can’t buy guns. One legislator want-ed the predominate Church in the state to call Doctors to a four hour a week calling, to care for the poor so the State wouldn’t have to expand the Medicaid program, but where they’re expected to provide x-rays, prescriptions, operations and on and on. The Governor vetoed a bill that would have done away with the concealed weapons permits, which prob-ably ticks off the felons being released from jail.
Constitution 101: Arti-cleVI of the Constitution of the United States reads: This Constitution and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance there-
of; and all treaties made , or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the con-trary notwithstanding. This is called the Supremacy Clause and no state has the power to lay its own decisions above those of the Federal Govern-ment.
Many thank to Pat for writing last week’s column,.
It seems that you don’t get any smarter with old age. Some tips I have learned over the years: don’t buy a time share and if you really want
one go on the internet, you can get them for as little as one dollar. The problem is that the maintenances fees run you around $800 a year for one week’s room. That’s about $48,000 for one unit. Don’t buy a travel trailer, unless you plan going places and staying for a while, cost of trailer, gas and parking fees, far exceed the cost of staying at a motel. Above all don’t climb ladders without someone holding the bottom it can be hazardous to you health come by and I will show what real stupidity is all about.
Hang loose till next week.Mack O.

Steve Marshall, Shaunna Rechsteiner—Pharmacists
Most people experience pain many times each year. Sometimes these pains go away after a few days or less because they were not due to a serious cause. An example is a ten-sion headache, which can be safely treated with Tylenol, Advil, or Aleve. In other cases, pain is a warning that something dangerous is happening, such as an infection or injury. If this is so, treating the pain without addressing its cause is not a good move.
Treating Eye PainPain in the eyes have many causes, from minor irritations to conditions that can lead
to blindness (e.g., untreated glaucoma). For this reason, no nonprescription product is labeled for eye pain. Further, all OTC eye drops carry a warning against their use if the patient has eye pain. This pain is of such gravity that you would be well advised to make an immediate appointment with your eye doctor if dry eye, allergic conjunctivitis, or red eye is accompanied by pain.
Treating Ear PainPain in the ear is similar to eye pain. You may have a less serious condition, like
swimmer’s ear (water-clogged ears), which is self-treatable with ear drops containing alco-hol (e.g., Swim-Ear). However, the pain might arise from a more serious condition such as otitis media, an infection of the middle ear, which should be treated with an oral antibiotic, available only by prescription. You may also require an antibiotic ear drop if the problem is outside the eardrum. Never use old home remedies such as olive oil (sweet oil) to treat ear infections. This oil is not effective and could be dangerous, as it is not sterile.
Treating Oral PainPain in the mouth, throat, and teeth is possibly self-treatable. Canker sores on the
tongue or inside the mouth can be treated with topical anesthetics (e.g., Orajel), which contain benzocaine. Teeth sensitive to hot or cold triggers, a condition known as dentinal hypersensitivity, can be treated with special toothpastes such as Sensodyne. A sore throat due to the common cold can be treated with menthol lozenges (e.g., Halls Cough Drops) or benzocaine sprays (e.g., Cepacol Ultra) that numb the linings of the mouth and throat.
Pain from a toothache can be temporarily relieved with products containing benzo-caine (e.g., Anbesol). However, these products only mask your pain and do not treat the underlying cause, such as a cavity, so you must see a dentist as soon as possible to avoid complications.
Read the Label of Nonprescription ProductsWhen you have questions about pain, be sure to Consult Your Pharmacist. Your
pharmacist is specially trained to know which types of pain can be safely self-treated and which types should be seen by a doctor or dentist. Your pharmacist can also assist you in choosing a suitable nonprescription product that is best for your situation. Some OTC pain relievers should not be used if you are taking certain prescription drugs, if you have specific medical conditions, or if your age is too low or too high.
Some of the most troubling pains you can experience are in the areas around and above the neck, such as the eyes, ears, mouth, teeth and throat. Your pharma-cist can assist you in choosing a suitable nonprescrip-tion product that is best for your situation.

PROVO - If a picture is worth a thousand words, pho-tographer Chris Mabey is hop-ing a whole portfolio can help change the fate of a struggling national park system.
Mabey, an engineering student at Brigham Young University, is raising money through Kickstarter.com for a road trip to photograph both the best scenery and the worst effects of federal budget cuts in national parks in the West.
The park system has lost 15 percent of its funding in the past 10 years, said Mabey, whose research has turned up and documented no shortage
Utah Photographer Seeks to Snap Nat’l. Park Budget Cuts
I’m a big believer in hav-ing the appropriate amount of insurance, especially when it comes to your health and per-sonal liability. But if money is tight and you want to get the most bang for your buck, there are a few types of insurance you can probably do without – or that may duplicate coverage you already have elsewhere:
Extended warranties. When you buy a car, appli-ance or electronic device, the salesclerk usually will try to sell you an extended warranty. These policies often duplicate coverage already provided in the manufacturer’s warranty. Plus, many credit cards provide an additional warranty on items purchased with the card.
Smartphone insurance. After shelling out big bucks for a smartphone, you might be tempted to buy replacement insurance. Just be aware that you’ll probably pay a hefty de-ductible and likely receive a refurbished phone, possibly not even the same model. My ad-vice: Keep your old phone to re-activate in case you drop or lose the new one.
Flight accident insurance. The risk of dying in a plane crash is miniscule and already covered by regular life insur-ance. Also check your credit card cardholder agreement, since many cover such acci-dents for tickets purchased with their card.
Child life insurance. Life insurance is intended to pro-vide economic protection for a person’s dependents, so unless your children are movie stars supporting you, this coverage
is probably unnecessary. You can better protect their future by stowing those monthly pre-miums in an emergency savings account or buying additional term life insurance for yourself.
Pet insurance. With vet-erinary treatments now rivaling human medicine (organ trans-plants, chemotherapy, etc.), you could easily spend a small for-tune keeping Fido alive. Before buying pet insurance, however, compare plan features care-fully and weigh the expense you’d pay out over your pet’s lifetime. For example, monthly premiums increase with your pet’s age, deductibles and co-payments are typically higher than for human coverage and there are usually predetermined per-year and per-condition caps. Plus, preexisting and hereditary conditions usually are not cov-ered.
Rental car insurance. In most cases, the optional insur-ance offered by car rental agen-cies duplicates existing cover-age you already have. However, before automatically rejecting agency coverage, ask your in-surance company and credit card issuer whether you are fully covered for rental cars. A few considerations:• Coverage through your auto
policy often expires after 30 days or less of renting the car.
• Sports cars, luxury models, SUVs and trucks are often excluded.
• Travel outside service areas typically is forbidden – espe-cially across foreign borders or in rough terrain.
• If you don’t carry compre-hensive and collision cover-
age on your own car, your insurance may not cover a rental. Also, ask whether such coverage is limited to your own car’s value, since most rentals are new.
• Ask what happens if you vio-late rental agreement terms (e.g., driving recklessly or allowing unauthorized driv-ers).
Specified disease insur-ance. Some people take out supplemental health and life insurance against specific con-ditions such as cancer, heart dis-ease or stroke. Before buying, make sure you have adequate major medical insurance, which already covers such conditions. And carefully review the policy for restrictions. For example, many cancer insurance policies won’t pay for outpatient care or cover skin cancer, and impose fixed-dollar limits on specific procedures.
When it comes to your budget – and your family’s se-curity – it pays to know which insurance is essential and which you can probably skip.

In an age of economic un-certainty, being indispensable at work is crucial to job security. And while developing specific professional skills is important, some experts say that there are intangible factors that are even more important for your long-term success.
“If you’re interesting, peo-ple will remember you and want to work with you. You’ll get the call back; you’ll make the sale. And you’ll be better able to think your way out of trouble and into new territories,” says Jessica Hagy, author and illus-trator of the new book, “How to Be Interesting (in 10 Simple Steps.)”
Hagy says that in today’s fast-paced world, there are steps you can take to avoid blending

of trails, roads and buildings in disrepair.
“They’re saying, ‘Yeah, we’re right in the thick of this, trying to figure out how we’re going to fund everything.’ And there’s a lot of parks that are just in a situation where they’re trying to figure out how they can keep things open for visi-tors this summer,” he said.
Mabey and his wife re-ceived a National Parks Pass as a gift last year and used it to visit as many parks as they could. He said they were dis-mayed to see the condition of some facilities and hear about their maintenance backlogs and
financial concerns. That’s how the idea for the project was born.
“It’s really kind of hurt me, because I feel like this is a really im-portant asset of our country that we’re not giving the attention that it deserves,” he said. “And so, I really wanted to show people how the parks are being af-fected right now.”
If he is able to fund the project, Mabey said, he’ll spend the last half of May in Utah’s national parks, before moving north in June to Wyo-ming and Montana and then to Washington, Oregon and California. He plans to photo-graph at least 10 parks and is offering postcards and prints of their wildlife and scenery to the project donors.
The project is online at kickstarter.com. Information about the cuts to the park sys-tem is at npca.org.

into the hum of the background: • Go exploring: Explore
ideas, places and opinions. The inside of the echo chamber is where all the boring people hang out.
• Chat: Don’t just keep your head down. Gain new per-spectives by talking to every-body -- not just those who do what you do. No one has seen exactly what you have or has the same exact feelings as you. Find out why.
• Leave your comfort zone: Expose yourself to risk and wild ideas. It’s the only way to grow. If you’re not courageous, you’re going to be hanging around the water-cooler, talking about the guy who actually is.
• Offer to help: Seek out people who need your help.
Know what you can do and tell people you’re willing to do it. They will remember you and talents. This is how people begin to fall in love with your work.
• Overstep your bounds: Just because it’s not in your job description doesn’t mean you can’t do it. Only you can really decide what league you really belong in. Get over your fears of making waves. Friction is a good thing.
• Be a link: Don’t just tell. Don’t just listen. Make in-troductions. Pass on what you know. Be the fulcrum upon which your organization turns.
• Have hobbies: Outside of work, read, study, and sign up for classes. Learn new things. You never know when you’ll
need random knowledge or skills.
• Find a niche: The smaller the niche, the less room there is for copycats. If you want to be interesting, work with specifics, not generics.
• Leave the ego at home: If your arrogance is more obvi-ous than your expertise, you are someone other people avoid.
More tips and informa-tion from Hagy can be found at www.How2BeInteresting.tum-blr.com/.
Becoming great at your specific job description will only get you so far at work. If you want to become an indis-pensable member of the team, find a way to stand out posi-tively.
