“LET’S DRIVE”
“Let’s Drive” is a new book by Ann King Reynolds that includes road trips, history, stories, and personal experiences about the area in and around the Grand StaircaseEscalante National Monument. Beginning at Panguitch, the first and second trips go to Kanab and then on to Page. The third trip is up through Johnson Canyon and the White Mountain area and places along Skutumpah Road which goes through to Cannonville. Roadtrip four goes along Highway 12 to Escalante, and five goes south from Escalante through the monument to Big Water. Six goes to the Hole-In-The-Rock. Seven is from Escalante up around Hell’s Backbone, and eight is from Escalante to Boulder. The last two, number nine is to the Burr Trail and ten is over the Boulder Mountain to Capital Reef Park. Ann attempts to cover well-known stories about the area to show where they were located as well as adding more recent ones. Maps of the road trips are included for those that don’t know the area as well as general information about the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument itself. She hopes the book can be enjoyed by locals and tourists alike.
DEQ TURNED 20 IMPROVED EFFICIENCIES IN 2011 The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) today released its annual state of the environment report that shows significant achievements in safeguarding Utah’s air, land and water. In 2011, DEQ marked a 20-year milestone of environmental progress by laying the foundation to improve its regulatory process for future landmark achievements. “As the statistics in this annual report indicate, Utah’s environment continues to improve,” said Amanda Smith, executive director of DEQ. “Finding ways to work more efficiently and produce better results is critical to businesses and industries subject to our oversight. It is also critical to enhancing the quality of Utah’s environment.” This past year DEQ utilized “Lean Six Sigma” business management strategy – a process that involved the public and stakeholders to fully review the administrative process – in order to become more effective in protecting human health and the envi-
ronment. This technique is being applied to streamline the handling of permits in the Divisions of Air Quality and Radiation Control, and to better coordinate emergency response in the Division of Environmental Response and Remediation. It’s also being utilized to help meet environmental challenges ahead, such as tackling the air quality issues in the Uintah Basin. Given the importance of energy to Utah’s economy and environment, energy is afforded its own section
in this web-based report, available at: http://www. deq.utah.gov/envrpt/index. htm. In 2011 the Utah Legislature created the Office of Energy Development, an independent agency that works cooperatively with DEQ to achieve goals outlined in the Governor’s 10year strategic plan. “I’m pleased with the achievements outlined in this report,” said Governor Gary Herbert. “A healthy environment in conjunction with energy development is crucial to Utah’s economy and quality of life.”

COLD ICE MEANS HOT FISHING
Winter is one of the best times to catch fish Just because it’s cold doesn’t mean it’s time to put your fishing gear away. In fact, if you put your gear away now, you might miss some of the best fishing of the year. That’s right—those “crazy” people you see standing on the ice at waters across Utah aren’t so crazy after all. They know a layer of cold ice means hot fishing in the water under the ice. “You can set your watch by it,” says Drew Cushing, warm water sport fisheries coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources. “When ice starts to form on a body of water, the fish under the ice get very active. And they’re eager to bite.” And that eagerness to bite often continues through the winter. A cheap and fun way to fish Cushing says fishing on the ice gives anglers several advantages: If you’re willing to walk, you can reach any part of the reservoir you want to fish. Cushing calls ice the “great equalizer.” “In the winter,” he says, “you don’t need a boat or a float tube to reach certain parts of a reservoir. If you have a rod and a reel, and you’re willing to walk, you can reach any part of the reservoir you want to fish.” Catching fish in the winter doesn’t require the skill needed to catch fish during other times of the year. If you drop your bait in front of the fish, the fish will probably take it. You don’t need a lot of expensive equipment. A short rod and reel; some line, hooks and wax worms or meal worms; and a digging bar or an ice auger are all you need to get started. If you like to fish with lures, you may want to include a few ice flies and small jigs in your tackle box too. Because you can dig two holes close together, ice fishing is a great way to double your fun by fishing with two poles. Just make sure you have a two-pole permit before you dip your second line in the water. In addition to catching fish, you and those you’re fishing with can enjoy socializing. Just drill your holes close together, and have fun. “Most ice anglers really look forward to the social side of ice fishing,” Cushing says. That sounds great. But isn’t it hard to drill a hole through the ice? One thing that surprises many first-time ice anglers is how easy it is to drill a hole through the ice. Cushing says if you have a hand auger, you can drill through six to eight inches of ice in about a minute. “It’ll take a little longer if you use a digging bar,” he says, “but not much.” Digging bars cost between $5 and $10. Manual ice augers cost about $50. Great! But how can I have fun if I’m cold? Temperatures can be cold during the ice-fishing season. But that doesn’t mean you have to be cold. You can stay warm simply by dressing for the conditions. Cushing says one piece of equipment that anglers often forget is a pair of waterproof boots. As the day warms, slush can develop on top of the ice. “Having a pair of waterproof boots will keep your feet warm and dry,” he says. Sounds good. But how do I know if the ice is safe to walk on? Most anglers wait until the ice is at least 4 inches thick before walking on it. Ice is usually thinnest near the shore. Before you walk out, Cushing says you should stay close to the shore and dig or drill a test hole to see how thick the ice is. You may also want to dig or drill some additional holes as you walk out. If you find that the ice in your test holes is at least four inches thick, you can be almost certain that the ice farther out is at least four inches thick, or thicker. Ice cleats and ice spikes are two ice-related items you may want to consider buying: You can strap the ice cleats to the bottom of your boots. The cleats will give you better traction as you walk on the ice. Ice spikes are two short pieces of metal. They’re often attached by a short cord that you can drape around your neck. If you fall through the ice, you can pull yourself out by jabbing the spikes into the top of the ice near the edge of the hole.

Other surplus items will soon be up for auction and listed on the District website. You may have heard about the holiday bonus the Garfield School District employees received. I would like to remind you, all of the certified and classified employees agreed to a 4% cut to start the school year. This percentage cut saved the District approximately $170,000 in gross payroll. Dental insurance premiums are no longer covered by the District; benefited employees have the option to buy dental insurance if they choose. This benefit change saved the District approximately $120,000. I know this has caused an increase hardship on the employees of the District. As part of the negotiations process, a holiday bonus was agreed upon by the employees and School Board. As previously agreed in the negotiations, full-time employees (40 hours per week) received $200 and part-time employees (15-39 hours per week) received $100. The plan was to sell District surplus items to pay for the bonus. K-12 Funds were not used. The cost of the bonus will be $27,851.51 for the District. We have sold the following items to cover the cost of the bonus:

January 5, 2012 PREVENTING PROBLEMS AND MISTAKES IN ESTATE PLANNING
When y o u make a will or trust, y o u are not obligated to leave property to anyone. In order to discourage disappointed heirs from disputing your estate plan, you can include a “no-contest” provision that automatically cancels an heir’s inheritance if he or she challenges the distribution of your assets in any way. The original reasoning for the no-contest provision was to intimidate any heir who may consider contesting a will or trust, thereby securing his or her cooperation. “No-contest” clauses can be broad or narrow, and may even disinherit people who challenge transfers made outside your will (through a trust or beneficiary designation). Of course, you cannot make a bequest of property you don’t own, but you can often provide in a will that a beneficiary will only receive your bequest if they
abandon their rights in some other property. In a recent case, a court was asked to decide whether a refusal to abandon such rights would constitute a “will contest” that would void other gifts. When a testator died, he left a complex estate plan that included a will, a trust, and beneficiary designations for his retirement account. The testator’s wife legally owned part of his retirement account and other “community property.” The testator’s will and trust required his wife to abandon her “community property” rights in order to receive benefits worth $2.65 million from her husband’s
ing whether she would be viewed as “contesting” the estate plan if she sought to enforce her community property rights. The wife claimed that her husband had mistakenly transferred some community assets to his own trust, and she was merely trying to correct the mistake. On appeal, the Court ruled that the wife’s challenges would constitute a “contest.” Therefore, she had to decide whether to assert her “community property” rights (and thus receive only her share of community property, and nothing from her husband’s trust) or simply accept the provisions of the trust and
trust. The wife filed a special petition with the court, ask-

will (thus sacrificing her “community property” rights). This case illustrates an important issue. If you make a mistake in your estate plan, a “no-contest” clause in a will or trust may prevent your heirs from correcting the mistake. On the other hand, if you don’t include a “no-contest” clause, an heir might contest your estate plan, thus delaying the distribution of your assets, and frustrating your goals. There are many such issues with Estate Planning that require careful planning and expertise to avoid. In most cases, a “nocontest” clause does make sense. However, as the example in this article illustrates, you do want to be careful when doing your estate plan in order to avoid unnecessary problems for your heirs. Seeking competent advice is more often than not well worth the price paid. Jeffery J. McKenna is a local attorney licensed in three states and serving clients in Utah, Nevada, and Arizona.

PATIENT INFORMATION OPTIONS FOR BACK PAIN What Caused the Pain? Back pain can be caused by a host of issues, including advancing age, inactivity, obesity, and participation in competitive sports. Some factors are related to work, such as lifting heavy objects, use of vibrating machinery, repetitive motions and actions, and bad posture while performing tasks. In these cases, it may be preferable to speak with the employers to determine whether they can alter the workers’ circumstances to help prevent future back problems. If management in that workplace is concerned about preventing injury, they could be persuaded to invest in special assistive tools and devices or ergonomically designed furniture. What Should You Do? The first decision is when to seek the care of a physician. A good rule is to consider the cause. If the pain was due to trauma (e.g., an automobile accident, a fall), making an immediate appointment is a good idea. Another rule is to consider the amount of time. If you do not notice considerable improvement in the pain after 72 hours of treating it on your own, you should see a physician.
What Treatment Options Are Available? Most pain in the lower back is minor in nature, will go away without any loss of function, and can be treated without surgery. For the first couple of days of nontraumatic back pain, try taking recommended doses of nonprescription products. Acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol) helps relieve pain, while ibuprofen (e.g., Motrin IB) and naproxen (e.g., Aleve) both help pain and relieve swelling (inflammation). Be sure not to combine nonprescription Tylenol with prescription pain relievers you may have around the house that also contain acetaminophen, such as hydrocodone-acetaminophen combinations (e.g., Lorcet, Lortab). Doing so may cause a dangerous overdose of acetaminophen. You may wish to try placing ointments or creams on your back, such as BenGay or Icy Hot. However, these products only help mask the pain by heating or cooling the upper layers of skin. They do not help the underlying inflammation. You may choose to try local heat applied to
the back through the use of a heating pad or a heat wrap (e.g., ThermaCare). You must not combine local heat with an ointment or cream such as BenGay, or you may burn the area. What About Bed Rest? Bed rest can be tempting, but you should try to resume your normal activities as soon as possible. Do not rest in bed for more than 1 or 2 days. Getting back to normal hinges on working through the pain. What About Nonphysician Practitioners? The role of chiropractic in back pain is controversial at best, and the patient should explore several resources before making this important decision. They include the American Chiropractic Association ( www.acatoday.org) and Chirobase ( www.chirobase.org). The same advice applies to acupuncture, reflexology, and other medical interventions that are not yet fully accepted by traditional health care practitioners.

Every1Counts It’s About Thee, Lord, Not Me By Cynthia Kimball “Well, you irritate me!” a husband yelled to his wife in a radiology waiting room. Yet, minutes prior he was kindly and enthusiastically asking the receptionist what she was doing for New Year’s. I actually was thinking at the time what a nice man this was and that his wife was a very fortunate woman. But then, I heard him repeatedly yell at her (who was obviously getting something checked out or else she wouldn’t have been in this waiting room). And if the color of their hair was any indicator, they’d been together for quite some time. I remember thinking, “If he’s this mean to her in public and when she needs him the most, what’s he like at home?” And close to New Year’s, a couple was fighting loudly outside a strip mall. As I walked to the post office, their inappropriate and disrespectful outbursts grew louder. It was so disturbing that I was afraid someone might get hurt. So, I prayed for them. And not long ago I spoke to a teen who was wandering through a Target parking lot saying her boyfriend dumped her off there and that she needed bus fair to get home.
What’s happening to us? If I could sum it up in a nut shell, I’d say that a focus has shifted to “It’s about me, Lord, not Thee,” when it needs to be, “It’s about Thee, Lord, not me.” I recently watched a talk by Dr. Roy Huff, a faculty member at BYU-Idaho. In it, he shared an experience that Elder David A. Bednar, of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, once had. According to Huff (2011), “[Elder Bednar] was interviewing a 17-year-old young man who wasn’t too sure that he wanted to serve a mission. After listening to the young man, President Bednar then asked him, “Why do you think you were born?” As we proceed forward into this New Year, I think it would behoove each one of us to ask ourselves Elder Bednar’s question, “Why do you think you were born?” Were you born to watch Television, surf the Internet, play video games or be on Facebook or your iPad all day long? Now, none of these things are bad, but it’s when they consume our life that we need a reality check to get out of the “it’s about me, Lord, not Thee” mode. Indian leader Mohandas
YES, THAT DOES SAY 40,000 (JUST BELOW)... State lawmakers across the country enacted nearly 40,000 new laws in 2011, according to the National ID LAWS Laws requiring voters to present photo identification at the polls go into effect New Year’s Day in Kansas, Rhode Island, Tennessee and Texas. A similar law goes into effect in Wisconsin in February. New Hampshire will require voters to mail in a proof of identity if they don’t present a photo ID when arriving to vote. Civil rights groups have been pressing the Department of Justice to block these laws after the agency struck down South Carolina’s voter ID law on Dec. 23. SHARK FINS Shark fin connoisseurs will be disappointed to learn that the delicacy will soon be illegal in Oregon and California. YOU MUST BE OVER 18 As of Jan. 1, California minors will be banned from using ultraviolet tanning beds and will need a prescription to buy drugs containing dextromethorphan, which is found in many popular cough syrups. New York minors will no longer be allowed to purchase hookahs, water pipes and shisha. OTHER CONTRABAND Californians of any age will soon be prohibited from buying, selling or producing caffeinated beer. In New York, possession and sale of bear gall bladders and bile will be illegal. According to a release.
Gandhi said, “Action expresses priorities.” Will your actions express “me” or “Thee” this coming year? Hopefully asking, “Why do you think you were born?” will help get you back in the right mode (i.e., the “it’s about Thee, Lord, not me” one).

Lawyer Fees
A lawyer had successfully handled a difficult law case for a wealthy friend. Following the happy outcome of the case, the friend and client called on the lawyer, expressed his appreciation of his work and handed him a handsome Moroccan leather wallet. The lawyer looked at the wallet in astonishment a n d handed it back with a sharp reminder that a wallet could not possible compensate him for his services. “My fee for that work, “ acidly snapped the attorney, “is five hundred dollars.” The client opened the wallet, removed a one-thousand dollar bill, replaced it with a five-hundred dollar bill and handed it back to the lawyer with a smile.
Professional Animal Trainer
As a professional animal trainer, I was disturbed when my own dog developed a bad habit. Every time I hung my wash out on the clothesline, she would yank it down. Drastic action was called for. I put a white kitchen towel on the line and waited. Each time she pulled it off, I scolded her. After two weeks the towel was untouched. Then I hung out a large wash and left to do some errands. When I came home, my clean clothes were scattered all over the yard. On the line was the white kitchen towel.
My cat sleeps about 20 hours a day. She has her food prepared for her. She can eat whenever she wants, 24x7x365. Her meals are provided at no cost to her. She visits the doctor once a year for a check-up, and during the year whenever any medical needs arise. For all this she pays nothing, and nothing is required of her. She lives in a nice neighborhood in a house that is much larger than she needs, but she is not required to do any upkeep. If she makes a mess, someone else cleans it up. She has her choice of luxurious places to sleep. She is living like a queen, and has absolutely no expenses or responsibilities whatsoever. All of her costs are picked up by others who go out and earn a living every day. I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me: My cat is a Congressman!!

ESCALANTE NEWS Christmas has come and gone. Now we can wish for a great new year in 2012. I hope all your fondest wishes come true! Both LDS Wards met together on Christmas morning for a Christmas program. The chapel was full, the program was lovely and many warm wishes were exchanged between folks who live here and their families who were visiting. The speakers were all the college students who were home, except for one. Hailey McLemore, Airamee Beebe, Nicole Beebe, Brace Griffin, Mike Munson; and Peter Christensen and Kaden Griffin offered the Invocation and the Benediction. The Primary children sang some beautiful songs. The young men and women sang “Silent Night.” The Sunday before Susan Shurtz played a beautiful Christmas number on the piano. It was so good I found myself wanting to applaud and that is something we don’t do in sacrament meeting! Steve Barlow came from Oracle, Arizona (near Tucson) to spend the holiday with his mom, Lani Barlow. She was really glad to have him here. Jerry and Sherree Roundy had Michelle and Barry Petersen here from California. Danny and Sherrie Meisenbach, their two kids: Shane and Katie were here from California and hosted a Christmas dinner at their house. Those in attendance were: Gary, Sandy and Kelsey Liston from St. Johns, Az.; Dallas and Emilee Clark and family, Cannonville; Tyler and Jenifer McLemore and family, LaVerkin and Lane and Geraldine Liston. Sandra Porter got to visit with the family of her
Marlene Haws Ph: 826-4859 marleneh@color-country.net son, Jay and Laura Hales, when they passed through on their way to Disneyland, for Christmas! When they returned Sandra got to keep two of the children for a week or so while they were “off track” at school. Kory Haws, son of Rick Haws, is back from overseas again and stationed in Texas. He visited here for a couple of days before Christmas. I wish all the young people would call me when they are in town and say, “Hey! I want everyone to know I’ve been home!” I don’t usually get to see all of them. Kevin and Vickie Shulkoski spent Christmas at home without either of their children, but they met their daughter, Andrea and Corey Sandmire and their daughter, Makelle, from Selby, So. Dakota, in Las Vegas the first part of the month. Andrea and Corey went to the rodeo but Kevin and Vickie stayed at the motel and enjoyed their little 4 year old granddaughter while they had the chance! Chad and Jordan Cottam divided their time during the holidays with the Leech family in Panguitch. Ryan and Tari Cottam divided their time with the Feltner family in St. George. Reggie and Shondelle Gillins visited the Gillins family in Minersville and Nathan and Elisa Lyman with the Lymans and Sam Spencer, here in Escalante, before ending up at the home of
by Vicki D. Syrett 679-8687 or vickidiane36@hotmail.com Brent and Patrice Cottam for Christmas dinner. I visited with Lynn Griffin at the post office on Wednesday, 28th, and he said he had just had a call telling him that his brother, Delane Griffin, was in surgery, in St. George, having heart surgery. 3 stents and a possible by-pass. He was in St. George with his daughter, Joy, for Christmas so that was a good place to be if he had to have something like that done. We wish him the best and a speedy recovery! Danielle Ganz just had the stitches removed after a corple tunnel surgery and will have another one done soon. We hope she will heal quickly too. I saw Pat Sorensen at the post office so her shoulder must be feeling better. We hope she was able to enjoy Christmas with her family, Sue and Don Mosier. Quenton and Chelsea Ness have a new baby boy. His name is Dexton. Congratulations to them. Our sincere condolences to Yukon Norman and her family at the passing of their son and brother, Larry John Norman. Sincere condolences to Laura Cottam and family at the passing of their husband and father, Kent Cottam. Sincere condolences to Parley Pratt and his family at the passing of Leda Pratt, their wife and mother. Hopefully 2012 will be a better year for families.
After spending the past week sick with the flu at our house I have no news to report but instead want to wish everyone a Very Happy New Year in 2012. The past year has brought many blessings mixed in with some things we would like to forget. We have made new friends, lost some old friends, had sicknesses, marriages, new grandbabies, and even just new babies for some. We also gained new family members in the adult category by marriages. The year has gone really fast and proves what my mother used to tell me, when you get older time moves faster. I always thought she was silly but

OBITUARIES LOLA HENRIE Panguitch, Utah
Lola Barney Henrie, 90, passed away peacefully at her Panguitch home in the arms of her sweetheart around 2:30 the afternoon of Thursday, December 29, 2011. Other family members were present. Lola was born July 6, 1921 to Elliot Leon and Velma Sandin Barney in Hatch, Garfield County, Utah. She graduated from Garfield High School. She attended Dixie College for a short time, returning home to help her mother who was expecting her sister, Suzann. Lola worked at Ruby’s Inn cleaning rooms, doing wash, and waiting tables. Later moving to Salt Lake City she found jobs at the Mayflower Restaurant. Her employers encouraged her to go to college but knew her parents did not have the money to send her. She finished her work in Salt Lake City at an arms plant making thirty gauge bullets. Frank came to Salt Lake City with an engagement ring and they were married in Hatch on June 25, 1942. The marriage was later solemnized in the St. George Temple. They have been married 70 years. She and Frank bought a Dairy Queen from Dan and Nedra Tebbs. They later went independent under the name Henrie’s. She worked there for many years. She is very clean with excellent work habits. Lola is very loving, caring, a wonderful cook and homemaker. Her descendants adore her. She especially enjoyed rocking and singing to little ones. She is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving in many different callings. Her favorite being librarian. Lola is survived by her husband, Frank H. Henrie, Panguitch; children: Kathleen (Duff) Mitchell, Orem; Colleen Simkins, Panguitch; Patricia Ann (Ralph) Green, Columbus, Montana; Steven Frank Henrie, Highland; Julie Hatch, Panguitch; 25 grandchildren, 58 great-grandchildren and 6 great-great-grandchildren; brothers: Vermon Barney, Panguitch; Blaine Barney, Bountiful; sisters: Suzann Hatch, Panguitch. She was preceded in death by her parents; brother, Miles Barney; sister, Madeline Middleton; daughter in-law, Verna Lindsay Henrie; grandchildren, Jeffrey Brigham Mitchell and Hutch Lindsay Henrie and Ashley Henrie. Funeral services will be held Monday, January 2, 2012 at 11:00 am. at the Panguitch Stake Center, 550 South 100 West. It will be short and sweet because Lola did not want a funeral, but we want to honor her life on this earth.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR I don’t usually reply to an article in papers, but this has to be done . It is quite obvious Mr. Bacon hasn’t had to go look for a job in a long long time. California is on the verge of bankruptcy. This is mainly, because of the billions of un taxed American dollars being sent to Mexico by the Mexicans. California has been labeled as Mexico’s cash crop . In the construction trades: Lets start in St George. I have seen many Caucasians who are getting $10 an hour to do a job and do a good job. The illegals come to the job and ask how much the boss was paying that guy? They then cut the price by at least two dollars an hour. They also rent an apartment and three families live in one dwelling . The Caucasian just trying to pay the rent and any usual expenses doesn’t stand a chance. Mr. Bacon admitted the biggest problem and that is some one that hires some one with out papers. I believe these people should be fined by the hundreds. The people that rent to some one that is in this country illegally should
have their property impounded and sold. Companies that hire illegals should be fined hundreds for each un documented employee. Oh no one would pick the fruit .. Bull Flop! What would happen is the people with the crops would have to pay a wage that a person can support his family on. Yes, the price of fruit would go up. So what, look at the price of everything else. The department of immigration is a sham and the people that say we are violating their constitutional rights by checking if they are in the country legally? Come on! They haven’t had to look for a job lately either . The motels in Wayne County have started a trend starting with the Wonderland Inn in Torrey. Bring in workers from another country every year and pay them $7.50 an hour, then at the end of the season send them back. Have you seen how much property owners think rent should be lately? Do you think you could live on $7.50 an hour ?? (before taxes if they take
“WRASSLIN”.... by Something is not right. Wrestling is arguably the most difficult sport in all of interscholastic athletics. Football has its moments but you are out there with ten other guys and you get to rest every few minutes. Basketball too has its moments but again, you’ve got four teammates helping you and you never get beaten up. The salient thing about wrestling is that it is, first and foremost, a fight; and you are out there all by your lonesome, mano a mano baby! Anybody who does not consider wrestling a clever form of legalized fighting must think the earth is flat. It is a fight! It takes a lot of courage to fight another human being; in front of a crowd no less, especially given the fact that you are going to get hurt…why else did God give us things like cross-faces, guillotines and chicken wings? Wrestling is also a strength sport, notwithstanding all the skill involved. For example, there is not a 123 pound wrestler on the planet who could beat Hagen Ecker. All the technique and speed in the world cannot overcome that huge strength and weight differential. The state champion tennis player NEVER gets mat burns, thrown down violently or
any out) A van full of Mexicans were pulled over in Wayne County not too long ago. Only one understood a little English all the others were being smuggled in. No ID or anything. They just play stupid. Immigration was called and the Sheriff was told to by immigration to just let them go. They stated, “We don’t have the man power to come get 6 illegals.” Now Wayne county has gone from having maybe two illegals to having probably 30 working in the area. Have you noticed when your kids get out of High School they have to leave the valley to find a job that pays more than 8 bucks an hour? The BLM is giving away Utah one acre at a time and lazy cheap Americans are giving away America one job at a time!. If they gathered up every illegal and sent them back to where they came from Mexico would have no choice but to fix their own country. We have our own problems, sounds like they are all Obamas fault too. David Genge Torrey
