A visit to the memorial was among the activities that took place during Utah’s first Honor Flight for Veterans to visit the nation’s war memorials, which took place last week. WASHINGTON, DC - On October 30, two groups of Utah veterans embarked on a whirlwind tour of the nation’s capital as members of Utah’s first Honor Flight, to enjoy three days of camara- derie and visit war memorials in honor of fellow service men and women. The fifty-six Utah vets visited more than a dozen sites including the World War II Memorial, The Korean War Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and Arlington National Cemetary. The trip was sponsored by the Panoramaland Fund at the Community Foundation of Utah, and is part of the national Honor Flight Network, whose goal is to identify over 9,000 WWII vets, 11,000 Korean Era, and 12,000 Vietnam era veterans, in that sequence, that want to go and see their memorials, at no expense to the vet- erans. Several Wayne County and other area veterans engaged in the tour, including the Insider’s Torrey correspondent Adus Dorsey. Adus has a report on their trip on page 7. World War II Comes to Wayne County Seventy Years Ago This Month, the Wreckage of a Military Aircraft is Recovered Near Factory Butte Part I: Recovery Leader Major LeRoy Heston Describes His Initial Acquaintance with the People of Loa by debrA Allen young WAYNE CO. - It is im- possible to know how many thousands of military airplanes flew across the deserts and mountains of Utah enroute to the European or Pacific The- aters during World War II or as training missions for the Amer- ican pilots who would carry the war to the enemy. Most did so safely and without difficulty. However during 1943, two incidents, each with different outcomes, brought the war a little closer to the residents of Wayne County. As the two incidents unfolded, the moder- nity of the air age met the tra- ditional agriculture and ranch- ing frontier that had persisted in the small communities of Bicknell, Fremont, Hanksville, Loa, Lyman, Teasdale, Torrey, and other locations since the settlement of Wayne County in the 1870s. Accounts of the two events reveal interesting insights into the culture and lifestyle of mid-twentieth cen- tury rural Wayne County, the process by which the United States Military handled war- time emergencies, and the in- teraction of local civilians with soldiers who found the days they spent in the county unlike any other experience in their lives. On January 25, 1943, a B17 “Flying Fortress,” landed in Loren Webster’s pasture just west of the Lyman town cemetery. May Taylor Brown recorded, “I was washing and I heard an awful noise. I looked out my window and a large airplane was circling our field. I pulled the washer plug and took Aunt Rula in the car and we watched the land- ing of the largest plane I ever saw.” The plane was, for its day, enormous standing nine- teen feet tall, seventy-four feet long, with a wing span of one hundred three feet. The mechanical difficul- ties that forced the B17 to make an emergency landing were engine troubles and the local residents looked after the crew and held a dance in their honor. Meanwhile a crew of mechanics arrived from Wendover Air Field in three trucks to fix the airplane. On January 28th, three days after its safe landing, the aircraft was repaired. Schools were let out early so that children could join with the rest of the county’s residents to watch the plane take off. As the pilot stepped off the distance needed for a safe take off, it was obvi- ous that there was not enough space. Local men stepped for- ward to take down fences and cover a ditch with hands and shovels to remove the obsta- cles. At 4:20 p.m. the plane made its successful liftoff. The pilot circled the plane twice above the crowd as the enthu- siastic observers waved, hol- lered, and honked their horns as they relished the successful departure and rejoiced that the bomber was on its way to help bring an end to the war. Nearly six months later, on July 14th another military aircraft encountered difficul- ties over Wayne County, but this time the outcome was tragic. The plane, a Lockheed AT-18A left Mather Field in Sacramento, California at 8:05 a.m. Pacific Time destined for Colorado Springs, Colorado. The last communication from the aircraft was over Milford, Utah. When the plane did not reach Colorado Springs, an in- tensive search was launched. Thirty planes left Mather Field as part of the search effort that stretched from Milford to Colorado Springs. The search aircraft was divided into flights based at Milford, Salt Lake City, Grand Junction, and Al- buquerque. In addition the Civil Air Patrol participated in the air search while civilian authorities undertook search efforts on the ground. With no success, the search was aban- doned on July 25, 1943. In October, the wreckage of the airplane and the bodies of its six crew members were discovered in what is known locally as the Middle Desert. LaVor Brown and his brother Lon, along with other Wayne County ranchers were mov- ing two hundred head of cattle from their summer grazing grounds to Hanksville for the winter. Military officials were notified of the discovery and Major LeRoy Gray Heston, who was stationed at Mather Field, was assigned to oversee the recovery efforts. In a lengthy letter writ- ten to his parents in Oregon shortly after the recovery mis- sion was completed, Major Heston provides a detailed ac- count of the discovery of the crew’s remains by the Wayne County cowboys, his experi- ences with the local residents, This article first appeared in the Fall 2010 issue of Utah Historical Quarterly.

An old adage suggests that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” It has also been told that “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”. While apples are healthy they are not laced with magical vitamins that can guarantee good health. On the other hand, however, there is some truth that prevention can “pre-vent” other serious problems down the road.
This is where the term “screening” comes into play. Screening is a tool that is used in medicine to detect some disease or some problem be-fore it begins to cause symp-toms. There are many screen-ing tools that range from screening for high cholesterol and diabetes, to breast cancer and colon cancer.
Colon cancer is a very important cancer to be screen-ing for. Excluding skin can-cers, colon cancer is the third

The problem is with young individuals using OHV and ATV’s for transportation to attend school, school functions, athletic events, church activi-ties and shopping at local businesses. This is not only against the law as outlined in Utah State Code 41-22-30, it is a safety concern for those individual engaging in this practice.

of people with colon cancer have any family members di-agnosed with it. A major issue with colon cancer is that by the time it causes symptoms such as pain, bowel blockages or blood in your stool, it is often advanced and more difficult to treat or cure. Colon cancer caught in an early stage has a higher cure rate and less long-term problems from treatments like surgery or chemotherapy.
With this being said, we can make a major difference in the outcome by catching colon cancer early. Early de-tection is where a colonoscopy comes in. A colonoscopy is a procedure that uses a camera to inspect the colon (large in-testine) to check for any abnor-malities. Abnormalities can range from a cancerous growth to polyps that can be removed before they have had a chance to turn into cancer. Most colon cancer or precancerous pol-
yps can be found on a routine colonoscopy. It is recommend that most people receive their first colonoscopy at age 50. Some people may need a colo-noscopy earlier depending on certain conditions. Typically colonoscopies don’t have to be performed every year. If a colonoscopy is completely normal with no polyps or ab-normal findings, a person may be able to wait 5-10 years until their next colonoscopy.
Lives can be saved from getting a screening colonos-copy. Please see your doctor today to discuss colon cancer screening. With 1 in 20 peo-ple developing colon cancer, everyone most likely knows someone who has been affect-ed by this disease. Let us each do our part to catch it early.

PANGUITCH - On Sun-day, November 3, at approxi-mately 3 p.m. close to mile marker 134 on highway 89 a woman called the Garfield County Sherriff’s Office and reported that she had hit some-thing on the highway. Micah Evans, Conservation Officer arrived on the scene. He saw a hole on the front of her travel trailer between the trailer and the vehicle about the size of a 50 gallon drum. He saw no blood on the hole. He asked the woman if he could open the trailer to see what she had hit expecting to find an ani-mal that had been injured or killed. When he opened the trailer he was surprised to see that a 3 point buck had gone through the front wall of the trailer and appeared to be un-

harmed. He got his camera to take a picture. When he took the picture the flash from the camera alerted the animal of an exit to which the buck quickly charged. Officer Ev-ans jumped out of the way as
the buck leapt from the trailer. The deer then leaped a barbed wire fence and ran away.
All involved were a bit stunned by this strange oc-currence. Sherriff Perkins, on the scene jokingly said to the
woman, “We’re going to have to fine you for hunting with-out a license.” To which the woman replied, “But I didn’t kill it.”

BOULDER - Phone and internet service was disrupted in the Boulder area most of last week due to wind-caused dam-age to transmission equipment, at times leaving residents and businesses unable to conduct their normal affairs.
Efforts to solve the prob-lem by South Central Com-munications continued all last week and into this week. Land line, cell phone and internet service were affected, and some businesses were unable to process credit cards. Phone ser-vice appeared to be mostly re-stored by the end of last week, although internet connections continued to be erratic.
High winds on Tuesday caused damage to equipment on Barney Top, which trans-

Phone and Internet Service Disrupted in Boulder Areaby BoB PhilliPs, ContriButing Writer
mits a microwave signal to the service tower in Boulder, said South Central Director of Operations Kerry Alvey on Monday. The sensitivity of the equipment involved – a “coax transmission line and antennae” – made it difficult to quickly assess the cause of the problem, he said.
“Because of the nature of the damage, it’s not something you can look at and say ‘this’ is broken,” said Alvey. “It took us some time and some inves-tigation to find the problem.”
Vibrations from the high winds created miniscule but vital damage to the hollow wires of the equipment, which reduces its ability to transmit, Alvey explained.
Technicians by Friday
had found a temporary solu-tion to the equipment problem that seems to have mostly sta-bilized service, he said. New equipment has been ordered and when it arrives, installation will be conducted either very late at night or very early in the morning to minimize further disruption in service, Alvey said. He added that the work will also seek to minimize the chance of future service dis-ruptions.
Phone service in Boulder is provided entirely via micro-waves. A local fiber optic land line operating off the Boulder microwave tower was installed last year to improve service, but the fiber optic land line running from Escalante ends near Calf Creek, and the line
coming from the north ends at Grover on the other side of Boulder Mountain.
Alvey explained that fun-damental improvements will ultimately be coming to Boul-der’s phone and internet ser-vice when the fiber optic line from Escalante is extended to the community. This process could be two years or more due to the necessary acquisition of easements.
South Central has applied for a loan from the Rural Util-ity Service for installing fiber optic cable to Boulder, a proj-ect that will cost an estimated $3 million, Alvey said. That money appears to be available, he added. When completed, that line will provide far great-er bandwidth—essentially un-limited—to the Boulder area, and “would then take this mi-crowave connection out of the picture,” he said.
He apologized on behalf of South Central for the disrup-tion. Although the company has “been basically working on it non-stop since Tuesday,” he added that he understands how critical it is for residents and businesses to have normal service.

and the exhausting effort to re-cover the bodies. It is clear that Heston talked at length with those involved in the discovery and was an astute observer of the people he met and the lives they led.
Dear Folks:LaVar Brown walked
his horse ahead of the other two riders. The three cow-boys were now far back in the desert of South Central Utah and about 75 miles from their homes. They had ridden out to look over the Brigam tea bushes. It was drawing close to November now and at that time each year the tea bushes are fat and ready, or soon would be – soon as the rain showers came. Its a small bush, looking like tumbleweed and the leaves look like toothpicks but the cattle like it and get fat on it. This country was their winter desert range.
Brown rode on ahead across the sand and rock strewn bottom of the deep al-kali covered dry-wash. Then he stopped. He saw some-thing very strange for that

tough country. A face towel lay across the top of a sage bush alongside the creek. A creek that has a small trickle of al-kali water running along for a hundred feet and then disap-pearing into the sand again. He leaned down from his saddle and picked it up curiously. It was a clean towel, hadnt been used. He turned and waved at the boys behind him.
“What d’ya reckon this’s doin’ here?”
The other two pulled their horses up, looked at the towel silently. There isnt much gab wasted among those people. Their eyes started roaming around over the ground. One of them slid out of his saddle and picked up something, turned it over, opened it up as the others watched him. It was a leather pocket book. He slid his fingers into it and pulled out a card. It read, “Charles F. Royce, Sgt. U.S.A.A.F. LaVar who was the chattiest of the bunch said, “huh.” Ike butted into LaVars conversation with his own grunt of “huh.” Ed’s eyes raised from the wallet and he looked far up and down the wash, his eyes stopped moving. LaVar and Ike watched him, then followed his gaze across to the steep badlands side of the wash which rose 300 feet onto the rim of a plateau. There lay a long bright object, flat against the slope. No one said anything for a minute, then LaVar spoke.
“There’s a star on it, like on an airplane.”
One of the others said, “Yep.”
In formation the three moved out across the bottom of the wash toward the bright metal object. LaVar lead-ing them guiding their horses straight up the steep, deep cut of the side of the wash. They knew they were to see strange things and instinctively they all three wanted to get on the higher ground. As they pulled their puffing horses up over the rim they looked east over the flat slopping plateau, cut every
few hundred feet with a deep washed[s]. Their horses were nervous. They too knew some-thing was wrong. Dead wrong. Then there it was. Straight ahead for a full mile lay the quiet desert, strewn with bits of bright metal. Here and there lay great blobs of it and finally at the end of the mile they could see one last stack of broken bright metal.
Together their spurs nudged their horses and they quietly trotted thru the debris toward the fartherest point. When they had gone nearly to the end, LaVar swung his horse sharply to the left and reined up, stopping the others. There lay a man, face down. He had been there a long time, weeks maybe. They trotted on, this time faster. They reached the final piece of wreckage and by this time they knew it to be an airplane. Quickly they turned their horses around and trotted back thru the area a different way. Now they saw other bodies, here and there, all over. LaVar pulled up his horse and motioned for the others. He told them to continue to look the range over but not to touch anything they found. He would ride back himself with the news.
Seated on his finest cow-horse, LaVar made one of the greatest rides known – 75 miles in 6 hours. His horse could barely stand the next day. [Apparently overestimated by Major Heston - the distance from the crash site to the Jef-fery Ranch is approximately 30 miles.] LaVar phoned the nearest army air base. He told of the towel and the sergeant on the other end of the wire said, “so what.” Then he told of the purse, and the sarg says, “any dough in it?” Then he told of the airplane wing, the metal and the wreckage and finally the bodies. Then the sarg yells at him, “well why in hell didn’t you say so in the first place?”
Well, then the army got into high gear. You’ve got to hand it to the army when it gets going. It wasnt long until my phone rings in my office at Mather Field. In a few minutes I am listening to the C.O. say-ing, “Well Heston, it sounds like a job for you. Get ready as soon as you can and I will have a bomber waiting for you. We will make ready for you by the time you land in Salt Lake City. Good Luck.”
They gave me a plane, with a pilot [and flew in to Salt Lake City]. We had in a long distance call to the cowboy who had found the wreck. He was at Loa, Utah, 180 miles south of Salt Lake City. As we waited for the call to come in I began to tabulate the things we would need. Then the call came thru and we learned that the ‘messenger on horseback’ one named LaVar Brown, had the dope alright, and ac-tion was in order. I learned the type of country we would run up against and what they had available for our use down there.
The next morning we were up early (Sunday morning) sit-ting in Thayers office with our phone busy. Soon our officers began to show up, those we se-lected to go with us. We gave them certain things to collect
and men to select, certain types and numbers. Then they left and soon cars and trucks be-gan lining up outside the office. There was a young bright look-ing 2nd Lt. Osman, in charge of the repair and upkeep of the truck convoy. A 1st Lt. in charge, or rather the executive officer of the party. Then Capt. Mares, the Dr. to take care of all of us and to handle the bod-ies when we got there.
Capt. Thayer, Capt. Mares and myself pushed off in a staff car ahead of the others. The other two officers were to stay with the convoy and pick us up in Loa Utah. We were going ahead to get the lay of the land before the convoy got there. When they arrived we would have a camp site selected, all the local folks rounded up, all the dope doped out and find out who was lying, who had a good clear story of the facts and the best way for getting into the desert, etc.
On the way there we hit three snow storms and got to Loa about dark. Loa in on the southern hiway going north and south in central Utah. It is a town only because there is a county courthouse, two gas sta-tions, a Mormon temple [Loa
L.D.S. Tabernacle] and several homes close together.
As we pulled in by the courthouse we saw several hard looking guys standing around in the cold. We stopped and found that we were talking to the very men we wanted to find. They said they had been waiting there for us for several hours. It seemed nothing much to them. I would have impa-tiently but surely been frozen stiff by now, even though there was no snow on the ground.
They didnt talk much or offer much information. They answered questions when asked, short and too brief. The first thing they did was to give me the purse they had found before finding the bodies. La-Var Brown handed it over like it was hot. He was afraid he had done wrong by picking it up. When I told him he’d done right he reddened painfully and kinda shuffled his feet in his high-heeled boots and said, “Well, I dont mind sayin I was plumb worrit. Maybe I done wrong an again maybe I didnt I kept sayin to myself. Then I come acrost Ed here, up the wash yonder and he says, Yu oughtnt a done it, LaVar, it bein a part of the dead, an maybe agin the law too. Didnt sleep much last couple a nights.” I came to find out later that this speech was the longest one LaVar had ever made or ever hoped to make. But from then on he sorta took over the job of spokesman for the crowd so we directed most of our ques-tions to him.
Where would we camp. Well, there was the courthouse and a school. We might sleep in one of those buildings, or the church maybe. “We folks take the church as sacred, though,” said LaVar. “Better get my un-cle.” He kept saying that, “Bet-ter get my uncle” to us during much of our questioning.

Highlight on Hanksville Elementaryby JAsMine wilson
Hanksville Elementary has an exciting and creative program being introduced this year spon-sored by the PTA. The Student of the Month program. The PTA would like to recognize great behav-ior as well as help motivate and create good citizens. The program picks one student in every class and rewards them for being a great student. In order to become Student of the Month, the students of Hanksville Elementary have to fulfill these requirements: Turn in their assignments on time, behave appropriately, turn in homework on time, and this student must show kindness and respect.
At the end of the year, the three students who are Stu-dent of the Month the most, get a prize. First place prize receives an electric scooter, Second place a robot dog, and Third receives a four wheel scooter.
For the month of Sep-tember, our Students of the Month were: Maggie Ekker, 4th grader in Mrs. Robison’s class, Shawn Lusko, 3rd grader in Mrs. Wilkins class, and Dalvina Wagoner, kinder-gartener in Mrs. Wells class. These students come to school everyday with smiling faces and are eager to learn from their teachers at Hanksville Elementary. Congratulations to these children and we look forward to having a bright year and moving forward in learning!
Mrs. Libby Torgerson’s students have been busy learn-ing their multiplication facts and have discovered math is re-ally fun. “Our class really likes Power Math,.” said Mrs. Torg-erson, “During this time we are learning our multiplication facts, doing Center Activities on what we are learning in math each day, and math tasks.” In science the students are learn-ing about habitats, food webs, and food chains. They have learned what producers and consumers are, and think it is neat that they are at the top of the food chain. “They are very happy that the T-Rex isn’t alive today, because then we would not be at the top of the food chain!” Mrs. Torgerson’s class is learning cursive writing and doing a great job!
Mr. Ellett’s fifth grade students made a pledge to be drug free and created posters to hang in the hall. Mrs. John-son had several videos from CUES that students watched throughout the week about be-ing drug and bully free. The
students wore red on Tuesday, and they all had a red-ribbon to wear for prizes that were given away at lunch time drawings. “First Quarter is over and parent teacher conferences are to-day,” said Mr. Ellett, “School is going fast and the students are doing well.”
In Mrs. Black-burn’s kindergarten class, students are busy learning their sounds and blend-ing them together to make short words, they are also starting to read. The class has taken a challenge from BOOK IT to read 20 min-utes during the school day start-ing Monday Oct. 28th and end-ing Dec. 20th. This past week students pledged to “Keep our Hands Off of Drugs” on Mon-day. “We have enjoyed our as-semblies and videos this week to help us be Drug Free” said Mrs. Blackburn. The kindergar-ten students were so excited for Halloween, and had such a fun
time.” The community council planned many fun activities for the students; there was a pump-kin patch on the playground at school, storytelling, decorate cookies, and coloring.” In the afternoon all the students went to each classroom to play games and then of course parents came to watch the traditional costume parade around the block. Thank you to the community council members, teachers and room mothers who helped with all of this week’s activities.

KUED kids challenges Utah Students to read 20 min-utes each day during Novem-ber!
Bryce Valley Elemen-tary accepted that challenge to show that they are “WILD ABOUT READING” and re-ceived a grant to host a SUPER READER PARTY.
All students of BV Ele-mentary have been challenged to track the number of minutes they read during the month of November. On Wednesday, October 30th a kickoff assem-bly was held to get the kids excited about reading. At this assembly they received their “WILD ABOUT READING” log which they are to record their reading minutes during the month of November. Each student was challenged to read a minimum of 20 minutes each day for a total of 600 minutes during the month of Novem-ber. These logs are to be turned into the Bryce Valley Elemen-tary Library no later that De-cember 5th.
On January 30, 2014, all Bryce Valley Elementary stu-dents will join KUED to cel-ebrate their achievement at the 21st annual Super Reader Party with a virtual Field Trip that co-incides with the theme “WILD ABOUT BOOKS.” Who

plying multi-digit numbers. They are all excited to partici-pate in the “Wild About Read-ing” project for the whole el-ementary.
Fifth grade has had an awesome Halloween. They carved pumpkins to celebrate and had alot of fun! We are do-ing lots of reading. We finished our book hatchet and took tests on it,
Sixth grade:We have been working on moon phases and opposites between negative and positive numbers.
Hope you all had a safe and fun Halloween day!
GARFIELD CO. - Since 1775 the Marine Corps has defended freedom and democ-racy, a duty they have fulfilled with honor, courage and com-mitment. As they have fulfilled that duty, marines have earned a well-deserved reputation for toughness. There’s another side, however, to the Marine Corps. That side springs from a genuine concern for the com-munities in which they live, and a deep compassion for the underprivileged children of America. That’s the side that exemplifies the spirit of the Marine Corps. That side is found in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program.
It all began in December In 1947, with a hand crafted doll. The wife of Marine Reserve Major Bill Hendricks made this doll and asked her husband to deliver it to an organization that would present it to a less fortunate child on Christmas day. Major Hendricks could find no agency to provide such a service. To help fill that void, Major Hendricks and members of his Los Angeles Marine Re-serve Unit, collected and dis-tributed 5,000 toys to needy children of Los Angles during Christmas 1947. It was this seed that was planted which estab-lished Toys for Tots.

The ‘Brig Gig’ is Back... in Support of Toys for Tots
Hmmm...Is There Anybody You’d Like to See Get Arrested...?
This will be the second year for the Toys for Tots in Garfield County. The Marine Corps Reserve will again give Garfield County resources to provide gifts for distribution to families in Garfield County.
The Toys for Tots will work with the local Sub for Santa and Angel Tree Orga-nizations Additionally public agencies such as schools, social services, Department of Work-force Services, church’s and others will be assisted to help reach families in need. The Ma-rine Corp has asked for a fund raiser to be held in each area. The Panguitch Toys for Tots’ fund raiser was the Brig Gig. The Big Gig consisted of peo-ple throughout the County be-ing arrested on frivolous charg-es. The names of the people who were arrested were given by a friend or family member. The person appeared before a pretend judge with a pretend prosecuting attorney. The peo-ple were then placed on proba-tion having to raise funds for their set bail. The Brig Gig will be held again this year. If you would like to have someone ar-rested and charged for frivolous charges please contact Garry or Rachelle Holbrook at 435-676-3020 or email at [email protected] .
You can also support Toys for Tots by donating a new, unwrapped toy at a toy collection site near you or by assisting with Toy collection and sorting. In addition mul-tiple fundraisers will be held throughout the County. As part of the Marine Corps Toys for Tots, it is required that fund-raising is done in areas that are served. This shows that the community is supportive of the vision the Marine Corps has with Toys for Tots. It is my hope that through the fundrais-ing and donations I will be able to show to the Marine Corps Reserve, Citizens of Garfield County support this program and Toys for Tots can become an annual event for our com-munities and citizens in Gar-field County.
If you would like to do-nate gifts, money or time and would like to know more about how you can do this, please get in touch with me, either in person or I can be reached at http://Panguitch-ut.toysfortots.org or by phone at 435-676-3020. You can apply for ser-vices or apply to volunteer also at http://Panguitch-ut.toysfor-tots.org.

gram that has been selected by USOE is called Shmoop. Shmoop content is written by Ph.D. students from Stanford, Harvard, UC Berkley and other top universities. Shmoop has the ability to provide test prep content in all areas on the ACT. It also has the abil-ity to offer full length practice exams. The results from these exams will allow students and teachers to quickly assess the student’s weaknesses and as-sign extra drills or review ses-sions. The students in the Gar-
field School District should have the opportunity to utilize Shmoop in November. Stu-dents who utilize the Shmoop program should see increases in their ACT scores. There is no charge to the student to ac-cess the program. All expens-es associated with Shmoop will be paid by the Utah State Office of Education. For ad-ditional information contact your local High School Prin-cipal.

Region Champs in Volleyball: 3rd in State! -Halloween at PHS-
gan Barney would go on to capture the honor for the high school. As for the Teacher of the month, the student council readily selected a smiling Mrs. Bennett, who gladly accepted her certificate and complimen-tary Butterfinger.
Lets not forget about the festivities going around this time of year. The many weeks spent preparing for Sadie Hawkins dwindled down to a few final days of anticipa-tion. The halls of PHS were abuzz with eagerly-prepared girls touching up final details (along with a few last minute asks and answers). With the stage set for a fun filled time, I think it’s safe to say that the girls and boys of PHS will have a great weekend.
Boo! Did I scare you? Probably not (I never was very convincing). Halloween is also in full swing this week. This fact was hard to forget, due to not only the fun and enter-
taining Halloween activity on Thursday, but the spook alley that was expertly put on by the Panguitch FFA chapter. For a fee of $3, Panguitch scare-seekers were taken through a craftily-constructed maze that included a werewolf’s lair, a haunted graveyard, and even a mad scientist’s lab! A $3 meal of BBQ pork was also pro-vided, making it a good time for children, teenager’s and adult’s alike. Good job you guys!
We closed the week and the month of October with the Volleyball girls playing their hearts out at the state compe-tition. While we didn’t get to hear any sirens for these hard-working players, they still ral-lied well and came together to take 3rd place, a great accom-plishment on any day.

The Lady Cats had a re-ally great year, playing out-standing volleyball. They took first at Region 20 in three sets against Piute. At State the La-dies easily waded through their first two games, winning both in straight sets. This set them up in the semi-finals against St. Joseph, the number 1# team in the state. St. Joe lived up to their ranking by taking out the Cats in three close sets. The girls played St. Joe tough, but things that were the Cats’ strong suits, serving and shot blocking weren’t there. Mean-while the Piute Thunderbirds beat the Tournament favor-ite Rich, last year’s champs. This win set up the third place game, between PHS and Rich. In this game everything went right with the Cats in tak-

ing out Rich in three sets and fairly easy, taking third at state. In the Championship game, St. Joe won in 4 sets with the Thunderbirds winning one of the sets. Region 20 had three teams in the top 6, Piute 2nd, PHS 3rd, and Wayne taking 6th place. The Lady Cats have had a great year, improving on last year 5th place finish. St. Joe’s team was made up of mostly seniors and with many of the Ladies coming back next year, it should be the Ladies’ year. McKayla Heaton and Kam-bree Josie were both elected to the All-State Academic team. This was McKayla’s second Academic team she has been named to this year.
The fall season is over and next up is the winter season, with both the boys and girls
basketball teams seeing a lot of action. The Lady Cats do not have any seniors this year and these were the girls that won 11 games in a row last year, at the end of the regular season and are really fun to watch. The boys have a bunch of re-ally good athletes in the ninth grade class to blend in with the returnees from last year.
Wrestling coach Matt Houston says he has a new group of ninth graders that are going a long way this year. Matt and Cory Owens have been working with these kids since they were in grade school and feel that they should have another good team this year.
It’s not too late to get your season tickets, high school sports are the only game in town.
ESCALANTE - National Pizza Month is observed each October across the USA and in much of Canada.
The Garfield County Farm Bureau participated in the celebration by working with Escalante Elementary and High Schools.
As part of the Utah Farm Bureau Food Link Program (where consumers are educat-ed on where their food comes from) Garfield County Farm Bureau Vice President Cassie Lyman presented to students in kindergarten through sixth grade on where each main in-gredient for pizza comes from as well as the nutritional pros and cons to pizza. Through games and hands on activi-ties students learned how long it take to grow pizza and the steps of making wheat to flour.
The eighth grade students worked on understanding the Columbian Exchange through old world and new world foods (8th graders had to fig-ure out if we had not had the Columbian Exchange would we have pizza today).

Garfield County Farm Bureau Vice President Cassie Lyman during Pizza Month presentation at Escalante Elementary.
Farm Bureau Celebrates Pizza Month
cans eat pizza at least once a month, that figures equal the consumption of about 45 slices of pizza per person in the U.S. each year, and Americans defi-nitely love their pizza by de-vouring 100 acres of pizza per day, or 350 slices per second. “It was a great opportunity to talk with the students of Es-calante about where their food
comes from and help bridge the gap between farmers and ranchers and the everyday consumer”, said Cassie Ly-man. For more information about Garfield County Farm Bureau call county President Bruce Fulmer or visit Utah Farm Bureau website utfb.fb.org

It’s 5:30 on Sunday that I am writing this and it’s dark out side. I don’t like standard time. Yes it’s nice to sleep an extra hour in the morning, but it is so depressing being dark so early. I wish they would stay on daylight savings time year around. When we go on standard time heart attacks go up and depression problems with it. In Fairbanks, Alaska, they fly people out for six weeks in the winter because of the darkness and depression problems. I wish Utah would become the first state to stay on daylight saving time year around, wouldn’t it be nice?.At least the time change came after Halloween so the kids can get in some trick or treats before dark.
This week has lots go-ing on: The PHS Drama Club is putting on “Through the Woods.” It started last night the 6th and runs through Sat-urday November 9th, starting at 7:00. Elaine Baldwin and Cheryl Church have spent a lot of hours with the cast to bring this classic to Panguitch. This play has been double cast, which means that you can go on different nights and get a different show. The cost for this fine effort is $5.00 and well worth it. Come out and join the fun.
Friday night will be the annual Search and Rescue thank you dinner. Sheriff Dan-ny has dinner to thank all of the Search and Rescue folks in the County that are ready to help out in a moments notice. Dinner will be a Ebenezer’s Dinner Theater and will be at 6:00pm. The food’s great and you can meet with other Search and Rescuers that have the same desire to help out, like yourself.
Saturday the 9th, is the Fall Craft Fair. Looking for some great Christmas gifts? There will be a large variety of items available at great pric-es. The Sub for Santa candy
booth will be there with the best home made chocolate/ candy, breads and sweets any-where. There will be lunch available for your enjoyment. Come early for the best deals.
Monday the 11-11 is Vet-erans Day. The Elementary School will be honoring Veter-ans from Panguitch and Hatch with their annual program. In-stead of having the day off, the schools have students learn about these men and women serving their country, in time of peril. It is at 2:00 pm this year. Monday evening the American Legion Post 25 will be hosting a dinner for all of the Veterans and their spouses from Panguitch and Hatch. This will be held at the Senior Center at 6:30, there will be great food, entertainment and good company, bring your sea stories, we love to hear them.
Wasn’t that wind some-thing, last week on Monday?. Watching the leaves blowing down Main Street on their way to Piute was really cool. I didn’t have to pull them out of our garden; they just blew away with the wind. The down side is it blew away some of my campaign signs, oh well.
McKenzie Humphreys (her maiden name), is through with her medical training in the Air Force and has been transferred to Alaska. She stopped by, with her fam-ily (two daughters and her husband) to visit my Grand-daughter Teah in Seattle on their way to Alaska. She is doing real good and is eager to get to work in her new career. McKenzie is the daughter of Todd Humphrey of Hatch.
Signs that winter has ar-rived: Henrie’s has closed for the season. Oil has dropped $15.00 a barrel in the last month and fuel prices have tumbled. SLC $3.23, Rich-field $3.33, Cedar $3.39 and $3.29 in St. George. Don’t you love it?
Regardless of the out-come of the election, in my opinion I don’t care for the running of the election by absentee votes. I don’t know if this is a state wide way of doing an election or locally. Its not fair to the candidates and seems to be really costly, with 90 cents postage and the advertising in the Insider for three weeks, plus having to pay those who do the count-ing of the ballots.
Back to China. We flew into Shanghai after our visit with the Terra Cotta Warriors. Shanghai is really something, it is beautiful, it sits on the riv-er and has over 2,000 build-ings of 20 stories or higher. There are currently 1,800 new buildings under constructing, and there are over 32 million people living in Shanghai and many of the building are condos. They bring in design engineers from all over the world to design these building and I haven’t ever seen sky scrapers that even come close to the beauty of these build-ings. They have the third tall-est building, they call the “can opener,” that is 1200 feet tall and next to it is one that will be 600 feet taller and will be the second largest building in the world. All of this building has come about in the last 19
years. In Shanghai we visited museums and a silk factory. At the silk factory we got a dem-onstration on how they har-vest the silk. With the single cocoon they feed the silk in to a machine that winds it on spools. With the super cocoon, (two or more larvae) a woman splits the cocoon and stretches it over a round ball and in-creases the silk by four fold. She then hands it to 4 women who grab a corner and stretch-es it out to an 8’ by 8’ sheet. These are made into comfort-ers that are really warm. I pur-chased a pillow that was filled with silk. For the last twenty five years, I have had a stiff neck problem while sleeping and I have taken ibuprofen to kill the pain. As strange as it may seem, with the pillow no more neck pain and no pills. Now that’s its winter I sure wish I had bought one of their comforters
We also went to a Em-broidery Institute. It takes 10 years to be a master embroider and the patience these women have is unbelievable. The silk thread is similar to a spider web. It can take up to a year to complete a picture, the re-verse side of the art work is the same as the front.
All is well, don’t worry!Mack O.

She thinks he will get to come home the first of the week and can’t wait. Catherine will have to go back on her Physical Therapy for her knee surgery since it got inter-rupted.

In St. George this week-end there was a Marching Band competition and a couple
of grandparents in Tropic had grandsons involved. Trajan Littlefield of Smithfield, Utah took part with his school, Sky-view and they did quite well. They took 5th place all around. It was held at Dixie State Uni-versity and there were many, many bands competing. There were teams from all over Utah and surrounding states as well. Mitch and Jess Littlefield are Trajan’s parents and they were there with their other children along with Catherine, Lynette Orton, Charlene and Brit-nee Littlefield. Trajan’s team placed second in one compe-tition. Catherine and Marion Littlefield are the grandparents in Tropic and great grandma is Violet Rae Hughes of Cannon-ville.

In our little towns in Bryce Valley area we have a lot of secret angels. One young lady with beautiful red hair grows her hair out to be-low her waist every three years and then cuts it off and donates it to “Locks of Love” Great job Cecy. Young Addie Steele worked hard on making a cute Halloween project and filled it with wonderful caramel corn and brought to me as a gift. It made this old lady very happy and touched. I loved it. Her Mom, Angie Steele is also al-ways busy doing things to help others out like putting together carpool rides to place far away so people have an opportunity
to go with them. There is a married couple who would trounce me if I said their names but they are always there when someone has a problem or needs help and they give of their services. Such as a load of wood or rides or even taking care of kids. You both know who you are and I salute you for your good service to people in town, Another who is will-ing to give in our community is Dana Courtright who is always ready to step in and help some-one in need and to organize a fund raiser, or find a solution or whatever it takes.. I am sure there are many others who do this but these are the ones I know for sure about. In this month of Gratitude it is good to know we have people like this that can give of themselves without looking for anything back.
Jerry and Carol Pollock and Kristine Nez had a won-derful weekend. They went to Stake Temple Night on Fri-day in St. George and then on Saturday they traveled up to Mount Timpanogas Temple for the Endowment Session for Jessica Allen.

The idea for the Panora-maland Honor Flight of Utah was hatched in the summer of 2013; by September she was visibly growing wings. On Oc-tober 30th the big bird stepped to the edge, spread her beauti-ful new wings and made her maiden flight.
In 2013 The Panoramal-and Resource and Conservation Development and the Panora-maland Fund at the Community Foundation of Utah announced that they were partnering to provide a unique experience for veterans: Honor Flight Net-work, a memorable, safe, and rewarding Tour of Honor of Washington, DC.
Panoramaland Honor Flight of Utah, the only local hub of the Honor Flight Na-tional program (http://www.honorflight.org), would work to transport Utah’s veterans to Washington, D.C. on a three-day trip to visit memo-rials dedicated in their honor for their service and sacrifices worldwide. Top priority would be given to America’s most se-nior heroes—veterans of World War II and those with terminal illnesses who wish to visit their memorial. All men and women born in Utah serving stateside or overseas are eligible to par-ticipate through the Utah hub. The three-day trip would gener-ally include visits to the WWII, Korean & Vietnam, Iwo Jima memorials, Arlington National Cemetery, the National Marine Museum at Quantico and Ft. McHenry, in Maryland.
Through the end of 2012 Honor Flight has transported more than 98,500 veterans to Washington, D.C. to see their memorial. The Honor Flight program presently has 127 hubs in 41 states. This was the first such effort in Utah and was led by volunteer Dan Cur-tis, who has been involved with Honor Flights since 2008. “Our World War II vets are dying at a rate of just over 600 a day. Only 1.2 million veterans remain of the 16 million who served our nation. Most have never seen the beautiful memorial built in their honor on the Nation’s Mall. There is no greater feel-ing than seeing the smiles – and tears – on these heroes faces, and to know we have given them a powerful and healing gift.”
Each trip is estimated to cost $700.00 per person, pro-vided solely through donations from the public, the Vets are joined by leaders and guardians who generally must cover their own expenses ($700).
The Wayne County Hon-or Flight contingent consisted of Dee Hatch, World War II Veteran and Bronze Star re-cipient, Dennis and Maridee Hiskey of Teasdale, and Adus Dorsey of Torrey, Dennis and Adus both veterans of the Viet Nam era. Also on the Honor Flight from the Hatch family was Zane Hatch (Dee’s brother and World War II veteran, as-sisting every one and anyone (and keeping constant tabs on me) were Susan (Hatch) Bagley and Carson Bagley of Aurora, Utah, JaNae (Hatch) Blake married to the infamous Larry Blake of Richfield, Chris, Linda and Hatch of St. George. ABC 4 of Salt Lake City also sent news correspondent Kim Johnson and videographer Pot-
ter to document the trip, video clips of the trip are available for viewing on the KTVX ABC 4 http://www.4utah.com/story/utah-wwii-veterans-get-star-studded-treatment-on-honor-flight/d/story/HPklrM-b0yUueMf0s-EXMVQ
The first Utah Honor Flight, with a police and motor-cycle escort left the Salt Lake City airport for Washington, DC on October 30th at, “O” dark thirty. At the Salt Lake City, Denver, and Dulles Inten-tional airports the Utah veterans were expertly and thoroughly expedited through airport TSA security, all the while greeted with appreciation, tears and ap-plause by fellow travelers.
Aboard Southwest airlines to Washington, DC the Utah veterans were elevated to ce-lebrity status and received first class treatment, with water can-non salutes generated by the airport emergency and security escort staff in Denver and Salt Lake. It also became apparent that the Southwest Airlines pi-lots and onboard staff were at the top of their game, and as al-ways, would be providing pref-erential and presidential type treatment to every veteran and traveler on the plane, serving up every available beverage, packaged peanuts and pret-zels that were on board the air plane.
At the Washington, DC Dulles airport, airport staff were anxiously waiting and had twenty-two wheelchairs lined up and ready to swiftly shuttle the first Utah Honor Flight vet-erans to an awaiting deluxe 56 passenger bus, a bus so special that even it felt compelled to honorably kneel at their arrival.
The first stop on the Hon-or Flight tour was the Smith-sonian Aerospace museum which the Space Shuttle Dis-covery now calls home along with its cousins the Enola Gay and many, many other distant winged relatives. The likes of Huey helicopters used in ev-ery war since its invention, the black stealth bomber, and ev-ery type of flying aircraft his-torically imaginable, all housed together sharing their stories in
a huge hangar the size of Torrey Town.
Checking into the Quan-tico, Virginia Ramada Inn took on military type precision, sleeping assignments and room keys were handed out so pre-cisely that it reminded me of Marine Corps boot camp. Once settled into motel rooms, veter-ans and guardians alike placed a heavy strain on the Quantico Ramada Inn plumbing system with toilets full and flushing faster than half time at any NFL Super Bowl. Falling asleep was easy and five a.m. reveille came early.
Thursday, Halloween, the 31st of October was the big-gest of days on the first ever Utah Honor flight and Kim Johnson of KTVX ABC 4 was busier than a Utah honey bee gathering memories from the Utah Honor Flight World War II Veterans. At roll call at the Quantico, Virginia Marine Corps Museum Kim, with her trusty videographer Potter, Kim showed her news expertise, fitting of any Olympic mara-thoner, and her “on air” results were deserving of a gold medal performance.
The newly constructed World War II Memorial on the Washington Mall was the next stop on the Utah 2013 Honor Flight tour. A memorial site so spectacular that it brought a shortness of breath and tears of reverence to the eyes of many of WW II veterans and those of us from Utah that have never had the opportunity to have seen it before.
After an hour or so at the World War II Memorial there was a contemplative and con-versationally interesting quar-ter mile stroll, while slowly pushing veterans in wheel chairs along the reflecting pool between the Washington and World War II Memorials, all the way to the powerful Korea and Lincoln memorials. The much needed walk that brought to the surface 75 years of deeply sup-pressed memories, some that provided an opportunity for guardians to hear heart wrench-ing war stories, long time and little talked about WW II recol-
lections so distant, but yet still fresh as the day they happened in the minds and hearts of those that tragically experienced them. American veteran war experiences so intense and per-sonal that during the 1940s, and still today, they command and grip the American psyche to the point that we all felt a personal connection to the World War II effort. An all out effort that once became so apparent that it demanded and was met with our country’s full support. A mobilization of troops by those that were ready and willing to sacrifice their personal safety and lives for a worldwide com-mon cause, a fight so worthy that it would certainly help to ensure the continued free American way of life.
A visit to the Viet Nam men and women’s memorials was also very emotional and highly personal for myself as a Viet Nam survivor. The reflec-tive walls with its thousands of names, some of which I knew personally, deeply and troublingly etched in the black marble, are a beautiful and fit-ting tribute to my generation of veterans on the Washington, DC Mall.
To personally experience and witness the changing of the guard at the “Tomb of the Un-known Soldier” at the Arling-ton National Cemetery along with Utah’s World War II vet-erans was an honor and privi-lege. A true to life honor that I will always hold dear as I have never have seen anything more sacred and humbling.
As a rather poignant ex-clamation point and final stop on the Utah Honor Flight trip was to Fort McHenry on Ches-apeake Bay. Fort McHenry, in Baltimore, Maryland, is a coastal star-shaped fort best known for its role in the War of 1812, when it successfully de-fended Baltimore Harbor from an attack by the British navy in Chesapeake Bay September 13–14, 1814. It was during the bombardment of the fort that Francis Scott Key was inspired to write “The Star-Spangled Banner,” the poem that would eventually become the national anthem of the United States.
Upon the completion by the participants of the first Utah Honor Flight, a large crowd, adorned with American flags and banners were on hand to welcome home the World War II veterans and the guardians of the first ever 2013 Utah Honor Flight to visit memorials in Washington, DC.
Much credit for the first Honor Flight of Utah is due to the Panoramaland RCD Fund at the Community Foundation of Utah, under the direction of volunteer Dan Curtis, the dedi-cation and support of the Hatch family, Susan Bagley and Car-son Bagley of Aurora, Maridee and Dennis Hiskey, of Teas-dale, JaNae and Larry Blake, of Richfield, Chris and Linda Hatch of St. George. As well as volunteers and supporters all across the Great State of Utah.

How to be Loyal
By Cynthia Kimball
Roman CabAnyone who’s ever ridden
in a cab in Rome, Italy, knows they’re some of the world’s most brazen drivers. Oddly enough though, their current accident rate isn’t all that bad.
I asked one of the drivers one day the reason for that.
“Easy,” he said. “All the bad drivers are dead.”
Friendly ArgumentDuring a friendly argu-
ment, my husband asked me why I married him in the first place. “I was just stupid,” I teased. When he said he was happy to hear that, I requested an explanation.
“People get divorced all the time because they fall out of love,” he said. “But I’ve never heard of anybody falling out of stupid.”
In the Garage
We recently moved from our home in the country to a townhouse community, where double garages face the street. I spent a lot of time in my garage during the moving process and was glad to see the friendly way in which drivers waved as they passed me. It took me three days to realize they were reaching up for their garage-door openers.
Airline FeesWith airlines adding fees
to fees, A local magazine asked its readers to predict the next surcharge they’ll levy for something previously free.
1. In the unlikely event of loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will drop down. To start the flow of oxygen, simply in-sert your credit card.....
3. View seating (formerly window seats), $10; Access seating (formerly aisle seats), $10 - $20 to use roll-away stairs to enter or exit the air-craft in lieu of no-charge rope-ladder alternative.
4. $9 fee for bumping your head on the overhead bin as you take your seat; $3 addi-tional penalty for looking up at the bin after you bump into it.

Children’s Church
It was a cold winter day , theWhere my cousin attends church, they have a special ser-vice just for the children. They call this “children’s church.”
My cousin’s daughter usually stays in children’s church on Sunday mornings, but one Sunday she stayed with her parents to attend the regular adult service.
When Communion was served, she turned to her moth-er and whispered loudly, “The snack in children’s church is much better. And we get a lot more juice.”

An effective estate plan has many benefits. In the broadest sense, estate planning includes the process of accumu-lating, managing, and distribut-ing property over the course of a lifetime. Satisfaction comes from knowing your objectives, taking practical approaches to achieve them, and avoiding hazards in the process.
An effective estate plan in-volves recognizing and coping with four financial challenges:
1. Dying Too Soon. For those with a sense of responsi-bility to loved ones, one of the greatest concerns is providing for them. Savings plans, retire-ment accounts, life insurance, and estate plans are just a few of the ways to assure financial security for loved ones.
2. Outliving One’s Re-sources. As time passes, the possibility of outliving one’s financial resources can be a concern. Many people will re-duce what they spend today to ensure that they have ample funds for the later years. It can be a challenge to balance pres-ent and future needs.
3. Emergencies. Estate planning may ease the hazards of illness, accidents, and other unforeseen economic hard-ships. We can accumulate sav-ings in order to be prepared, but insurance assumes greater importance as costs increase. Medical, automobile, hom-eowners, and other insurance policies can help lessen the possibility that an emergency will unnecessarily deplete eco-nomic resources.
4. Mental and Physical Disability. It is vitally impor-
tant to plan for adequate in-come and management of as-sets, in the event that a mental or physical disability impairs a person’s ability to manage his or her property. A number of financial arrangements, includ-ing various types of trusts and powers of attorney, can be cre-ated to help deal with the need for assistance in asset manage-ment. These trusts can also be set up for disabled family members.
Addressing each of the above concerns is the essence of an effective estate plan. Many people view estate plan-ning, and particularly address-ing the above concerns, as an overwhelming task. A good es-tate planning attorney can help bring order to what may other-wise seem to be too difficult to accomplish on your own.
Your estate planning at-torney will take an organized approach to decide what is needed. Your attorney will help you focus on the “essential ele-ments” of estate planning – the people in your life, the property you own, your plans for the fu-ture, and the persons who will assist you in achieving your goals.
Like a building project,
with the help of your attorney, you will start with your “blue-print” for setting out a plan. You will determine the essen-tial elements. In a few short days or weeks, your plan can become a reality.

Jane Doe* grew up in a family that gossiped behind each other’s back. As a result, no one knew who to trust. This remains true even today. Jane is sad about this and feels her lack of trust in relationships is due to her upbringing. She wishes, though, that she could trust more. She wishes she could as-sume the best, but she tends to immediately find things wrong with people. For instance, someone might say, “Susan’s doing great in her new job” to which Jane might reply, “Yeah, but did you know the problems she had five years ago?” Jane wants to be honest with people so that their name and reputa-tion are safe with her, but she often finds herself gossiping in-stead from one desk to another about secrets her teammates have shared with her. Jane wants to stop gossiping and be-ing disloyal to others, but she does not know how. She often finds herself in a never-ending toxic cycle of gossip not know-ing how to stop. LDS Church leader Gordon B. Hinckley
(2003), said, “I think of loyalty in terms of being true to our-selves.” When I think of Jane, I don’t think she loves who she is. I also do not think she’s true to herself. Therefore, she finds it difficult to be true to others.
In Matthew 6:28, in the New Testament of the bible, we read, “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”
When Jane gossips she serves man and even the ad-versary. When she doesn’t, she serves God.
So how can Jane become loyal?
First, she can love who she is. No matter what. She can realize that mistakes will make and not define her. That trials are for her (and others) good. The more Jane trusts herself, the more she will be able to trust others. Until then, she may still struggle with trust and loyalty.
Loyalty is being true to those in your absence and presence.
It means your name is safe with another.
It means your reputation is also.
If you’re struggling with loyalty, work first to love who you are. Believe in you. Be-lieve you can. Forgive yourself. Give yourself the benefit of the doubt and assume the best. Do not repeat negative statements in your thoughts, words and actions. Instead, make them all positive. Repeat often and when necessary. See yourself succeeding. Once you do these things, then you will be able to do that for others and mean what you say and say what you mean.
Until then, you may be stuck in that toxic tornado.

Practical Money MattersChoosing the Right Home Alarm System
by JAson AlderMAn
Although I take a cer-tain amount of comfort from statistics that show major de-clines in most types of crime throughout the U.S., I also know that burglaries have in-creased in areas surrounding my neighborhood over the last few years.
I was finally prompted to take action was when my fam-ily returned home after being away for one night and found that someone had gotten about 90 percent through the process of unscrewing our front door handle. I figured we got lucky that time but it was a wake-up call that we needed to beef up our security measures.
I did a lot of research on home alarm systems and here’s what I learned:
There are several nation-al players in the home security industry, as well as numerous regional and local companies. Much of the equipment used by most of them comes from the same few manufacturers, including GE and Honeywell.
With larger companies like ADT (which we eventual-ly chose), you can buy directly from them, or go through one of their authorized contractors who will sell you the equip-ment and install it, then turn over the ongoing monitoring to ADT. In our case, I was able to use my AAA membership discount with a local ADT-au-thorized agent and bargain for a lot of additional hardware, saving considerable money on the overall deal.
Certain vendors will sell you the equipment directly to install yourself. Some people install a security system that sounds an ear-piercing alarm if their house is broken into but doesn’t send a signal to a central monitoring station. That’ll save you from paying a monthly monitoring bill – typically $20 to $50 a month or more. But be aware that po-lice departments often charge a stiff fee for responding to false alarms.
Far more common is to sign a monitoring service con-tract – usually at least a two- or three-year commitment.
Typically, whenever your system is activated it sends a signal to a central monitoring station. The monitoring sta-tion generally will call you to verify it’s not a false alarm. If they can’t reach you, or who-ever answers gives the wrong password, they may then con-tact the proper authorities (po-lice, fire or medical services) to investigate.
Depending on how much you’re willing to spend, there’s a broad array of security equip-ment available, including:• Central control unit with
backup battery, keypad and siren.
• Motion detectors, which sense changes in a room caused by human presence.
• Magnetic door and window contacts, which form a cir-cuit that breaks when the door or window is opened, sounding the alarm.
• Detectors for smoke, fire, carbon monoxide and/or broken glass.
• Panic buttons (hand-held or mounted in strategic loca-tions).
• Pressure mats placed under rugs to detect footsteps.
• Closed-circuit TV system to allow monitoring and/or recording inside or outside your home.
• Temperature gauges to de-tect if your furnace is bro-ken and the pipes are about to freeze.
• Water detectors to detect basement leaks.
Most homeowners and renters insurance policies pro-vide a discount for installing an alarm system – generally between 2 and 20 percent, de-pending on which equipment you’ve installed.
It pays to shop around. I asked friends for recom-mendations and did a lot of online research. Don’t fall for high-pressure sales tech-niques or scare tactics. Once you’ve identified a few good candidates, check for custom-er complaints with the Bet-ter Business Bureau or other trusted reviewers. The Federal Trade Commission (www.consumer.ftc.gov) provides tips for choosing a home se-curity system and identifying common scams.

SALT LAKE CITY - Supported by the Utah Food Bank, a group of U.S. sena-tors is calling on Congress to stop billions of dollars of cuts from the program commonly known as food stamps.
Nearly 40 senators say they’re asking both houses of Congress to stop all proposed funding cuts to the Supple-mental Nutrition Assistance Program, which is usually part of the Farm Bill debate. Neither Orrin Hatch nor Mike Lee, both R-Utah, is in that group.
Ginette Bott, chief devel-opment officer for the Utah Food Bank, said lawmakers who still want to cut SNAP funding don’t understand hun-ger in America.
“The folks that are mak-ing these decisions right now have probably never missed a meal in their life in a situation where they couldn’t afford it,” she said. “Nor have they prob-ably put a child to bed at night hungry with no food, knowing that tomorrow morning, that

child will still be hungry.”The Senate voted this
summer to cut more than $4 billion from the SNAP pro-gram. The House passed leg-islation last month to consider nutrition programs separately from the rest of the Farm Bill and reduce SNAP funding by $40 billion over 10 years. The two sides now are meeting to try to work out a compromise.
Bott said cutting the pro-gram will hurt hungry children and seniors.
“Seniors who are home-bound who have no change, or hope to change and increase their income, they’re going to be almost more challenged,” she said, “because they’re going to lose additional food benefits and not have any chance of improving their in-come.”
The Utah Food Bank, the state’s largest, provided more than 36 million pounds of food to the hungry last year.
