Two Escalante Residents Killed in Plane Crash

Utah Students Compete for Cash Students Explain Why They Like Their Communities SALT LAKE CITY - Students from all 4th and 7th grade classrooms from throughout the state are encouraged to participate in the 16th annual Utah League of Cities and Towns essay contest. It’s an opportunity for students to offer a personalized snapshot of what they view as valuable in their own neighborhoods. Whether it involves friends or family, scenic beauty, recreational opportunity or opportunities of other kind, students are merely asked to describe why they like their community. Students may choose to write about community activities, geography, history, economy, residents, or what makes a community unique. Utah classrooms traditionally study about state history and municipal government in the 4th and 7th grades.

Guidelines for the contest have been sent to each elementary, middle school and junior high school in the state. Essays must contain logical development of ideas and a descriptive quality of the student’s community in the student’s own voice.

Fourth grade essays must be between 250-450 words. Seventh Grade essays are not to exceed 750 words. Entries are due on March 1, 2013 and one essay per class will be selected and submitted to the League’s panel of judges.

Awards will be presented to six Utah students. First, second and third place prizes will go to the award winning essays in each the 4th and the 7th grades. The first prize winners each receive a check for $100 and their school receives $1000. The second prize results in a $75 dollar check for the student and $750 dollars for their school and third place brings a check for $50 dollars to the student and $500 for the school.

The two 1st-place winning essays will be presented to hundreds of city leaders from the state’s 245 cities and towns at the Utah League of Cities and Towns Annual Convention in Salt Lake City, September 1113, 2013.

Utah Arts & Museums Announces Arts Education Grants SALT LAKE CITY - Utah Arts & Museums is now accepting online applications for arts education grants for the 201314 school year. The due date for submitting applications is 5 p.m. on March 1, 2013.

There are two arts education grants. The first is for teacher-initiated projects, which provide funding for teachers to gain skills in an artistic discipline of their choice. The second is for grants to schools and school districts, which offer either an artist-in-residence, which provides schools with funds to bring an artist into a school for 40 hours of instruction, or arts education projects, which provide funds for a comprehensive project using the services of artists or artistic companies.

“Arts education grants are a wonderful aid for teachers and schools who seek to provide high-caliber arts learning to their students,” said Margaret Hunt, Director of Utah Arts & Museums. “We encourage schools across the state to apply for this important funding opportunity.”

A notable arts education grantee is Whitehorse High School, where grant funds are

used to participate in the Native American Composers Apprenticeship Project (NACAP). NACAP is an outreach program of the Grand Canyon Music Festival and is dedicated to teaching Native American students to compose concert music by having them collaborate with a Native American composer and a string quartet. In 2011, NACAP won a President’s Committee for the National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award. Representatives from the President’s Committee attended a 2012 concert at Whitehorse High School, where the string quartet ETHEL of New York City performed the work of Whitehorse High School youth composers.

The grant guidelines can be accessed by visiting artsandmuseums.utah.gov and clicking on “Funding,” then “Grants.”

The grant applications can be found online at https://utahdcc. secure.force.com/portal.

For assistance with the application process, please contact Jean Tokuda Irwin at jirwin@ utah.gov or 801.245.7288 or Katie Woslager at kwoslager@ utah.gov or 801.236.7550.

Don Coombs, Loa Branch Manager for American West Bank, presents Delores McGee with a donation for Central Utah Food Sharing in Bicknell.

Local Food Bank Receives $2,000 Holiday Gift

LOA - Central Utah Food Sharing received a holiday gift of $2,000 from AmericanWest Bank to help keep shelves stocked and families fed during the winter season.

“We are pleased to make this contribution to Central Utah Food Sharing because they provide so much for local families in need,” said Don Coombs, Branch Manager of AmericanWest Bank’s Loa Branch. “As the need has increased, resources have been stretched thin and we want to step up and make a difference this season.”

Central Utah Food Sharing serves families in six Central Utah counties, including Wayne County. The organization is dedicated to providing compassionate responses to qualified clients as well as sowing the seeds of self-sufficiency. In November 2012 alone, they assisted more than 62 local families.

This $2,000 gift is part of an ongoing annual commitment by AmericanWest Bank to support local food assistance organizations. In the last six months alone, the Bank contributed more than $50,000 to various food assistance organizations and also hosted an annual, company-wide food drive. Central Utah Food Sharing was the recipient of the food and cash collected by the Bank’s Mt. Pleasant and Fairview Branches during that food drive.

“It can be challenging for individuals and families to make ends meet, so we’re pleased to do our part and assist the food bank as they help so many of our neighbors,” Coombs said. “We encourage others in the community who are able to give to also do what they can to support this important cause.”

Donations of food or cash can be made to: Central Utah Food Sharing, Attn: Delores McGee, 435-836-2422, at 475 South 300 West Bicknell, UT. —American West Bank

Wayne County Pickleballers are Medal Winners WAYNE CO. - During the Huntsman World Senior Games held in St. George in October, four of Wayne County’s pickleball players won medals. Over 550 pickleball players participated in this event. Gina Flanagan and Ken Kehrer (not pictured) won gold in their division and Brenda Winawer and Bob Yager won bronze in their division.

In November, Brenda and Gina won silver medals in the 1st Annual Utah State Picklrball tournament held in St. George Considering the relatively small number of pickleball players in Wayne County, it’s amazing that we have so many champions.

Congratulations again to Gina, Brenda, Ken and Bob. —Hank Winawer

ESCALANTE - The tiny southern Utah town of Escalante is mourning the loss of two local men killed Saturday when their single-engine plane struck a power transmission line and went down in Garfield County.

The men were identified as pilot Paul Clark Bowmar, 56, and passenger Nicholas Wolfrom Reznick, 53, in a Garfield County Sheriff’s Office news release on Sunday.

“This is a huge, huge loss in our community,” said Nicole Croft, who runs the local Farmer’s Market and was a friend of Reznick’s. “We’re a very, very close community. Everybody knows everybody.”

The men were taking a recreational flight between the towns of Escalante and Boulder about 3:30 p.m. Saturday when the plane struck the power line, sheriff’s spokeswoman Becki Bronson said.

The crash occurred near State Route 12 at milepost 78.5, which is about eight miles south of Boulder and near the Calf Creek Recreation Area.

“The initial report is that [Bowmar] did not see the power lines until he hit them, and there wasn’t any other indication that anything was wrong,” Bronson said.

The cause of the crash remained under investigation Sunday.

Bowmar was an experienced pilot who was very familiar with the area, Bronson said.

More than that, he was the heart and soul of Escalante’s local airstrip, City Councilman and longtime Bowmar friend Greg Allen said. Bowmar owned a hangar at the strip where he kept two planes and worked to improve its conditions for other pilots. He kept track of the flights that came in and out, reporting the data quarterly, Allen said. The airport has four of five private planes in residence but also is used as a base for area searchand-rescue operations.

“Paul was most of what we were doing out there,” said Allen. “He was very active and concerned about it.“ Bowmar was involved with the Utah Back Country Pilots Association — which helps preserve and maintain remote landing strips across the state — and often made recreational trips across the region with friends. Bowmar had also spent many hours working to help improve the nearby Boulder airport, where he was presumably headed when he crashed on Saturday.

“He had a lot, a lot of hours in the cockpit and was an intelligent man so, you know, this had to be a mistake,” Allen said.

Bowmar had lived in the community for at least 20 years and operated a machine shop that did metal lathe work and

employed a handful of local residents. He leaves behind several children and a longtime love interest with whom he shared his Escalante home, Allen said.

“He was a good man,” Allen added.

Croft met Reznick and his wife in 2007, when Melanie Reznick was serving on a community development board.

Friendly and genuinely interested in others, the Reznicks were early supporters of the

farmers market, contributing onions and hay to its offerings, Croft said. Nicholas Reznick also kept bees, raised horses and was growing a seed-free hay for use with a local river watershed restoration project, she said.

“He did love the community,” Croft said. “He was just so, so kind, so lovely and bighearted.“ A similar crash occurred in almost the same area in 2009, Bronson said. jdobner@sltrib.com

This weekly student spotlight is brought to you by Wayne High School and the Entrada Institute Scholarship committee. These spotlights are not only to inform the people of Wayne County about these fine seniors, but to encourage contributions to the ÒScholarship of ExcellenceÓ program for students at WHS. For more information about tax deductible donations, please contact Candence Peterson at WHS.

Wayne High School’s Scholarship of Excellence Every year in May Wayne High School gives out a number of scholarships. The amount of the scholarship is determined by the grade point average, community service, and leadership service. A panel of community members interviews the students and helps us with the decision process. Every student who applies will receive money upon verification of enrollment in any post secondary program. This enables students who have not qualified for other scholarships to have a step up in pursuing his or her goal of attending college. It is through the generous contributions from our community that these scholarships are awarded. Every dollar sent in to this fund is an investment in the future of Wayne County. Last year, we were able to double the amount of money pulled in by the community. We are very thankful for any donation that is made.

We are in the process of accepting donations for the Wayne High School Scholarship of Excellence for this year’s graduating class of 2013. Every week we will highlight a few of our seniors in the newspaper. So watch The Insider to read about our seniors this year and what they want to do with their lives. We have some amazing students in this county and we’d like to help them with their future goals. If you feel you are able to donate to this fund, please send your contribution to: Wayne High School Scholarship of Excellence P.O.

Wayne School District Board Report January 2013

Wayne School District held its regular board meeting on Tuesday, January 8, 2013.

Financial obligations and minutes were discussed and approved.

The Superintendent’s report and information included: • A reminder of the School Boards Convention on Jan.10-12 • Youth-In-Custody program with High Top Ranch School in Koosharem contract will be finalized within the next two weeks • A reminder that February’s School Board Meeting will be held in Hanksville at 4:00 P.M • A discussion was held regarding school safety in the district. Numerous suggestions were made, and many questions and concerns were discussed. It was noted that the issue must be addressed.

It was also determined that it would be a topic of discussion at the State School Boards Convention, and that more information will be gathered there and from other districts for further discussion and decisions.

The Board was given a list of current coaches and assistant coaches. Also there was some discussion about creating a specific email account for Board Members for school business.

Business Items included: 1. Two new Board Members were sworn in, Mr. David Chappell, and Mrs. April Torgerson. Mrs. Joni Taylor was also sworn in for another term.

2. The 2012-2013 Audit Report was discussed and approved.

3. The Business Administrator and Superintendent’s contracts were both renewed for two more years.

4. Letters of resignation from Greg Southwick, as Cross Country Coach, Elly Mae Roberts as Hanksville custodian, Julie Jeffrey as a paraprofessional, and DeLyn Maw as Loa Elementary custodian were read and approved.

5. The board hired a paraprofessional to replace Julie Jeffrey.

(That individual decided not to accept the position) 6. Erin VanDyke was hired as the Activities Custodian for WHS and WMS. 7. Five fencing bids for the new fence project at Hanksville Elementary were opened.

Rafter Lazy J Fence Company LLC, was awarded the project.

8. A priority list of projects for the use of the Undistributed Reserve Funds was discussed. The Hanksville fencing project is part of that discussion.

9. The Wayne High School Club Advisor stipend policy was discussed and approved 10.

There was further discussion on the High School Open Campus Policy. The Board’s greatest concern was the safety of students traveling off campus. The discussion centered around the short amount of time for the lunch period, and the concern that such a short lunch period would involve greater highway safety risks as students were scattering and traveling to various places in all the surrounding communities.

The Board sent the policy back to the high school with the direction to try to increase the lunch period as much as ten minutes or as much as feasible, and still not require a change in bus schedule, or decrease instruction time.

11.

The Board made the decision to involve the resources from the Utah School Boards Association to conduct a Superintendent’s evaluation.

12.

The School Board will visit WHS on Tuesday, January 22.

13.

Jamie Leavitt and Tina Sullivan were added to the substitute-teaching list.

No Executive Session was held.

The fifth grade classes are busily preparing for their Direct Writing Assesment (DWA), scheduled for February. In the state of Utah 5th8th grade students take this persuasive writing assesment each year.

“For this assesment they are given a prompt and are expected to type an essay.” Explained Mrs. Shanda Brown, “We have been working very hard to prepare for it.” Students have been learning and practicing stradegies for persuasive writing in class, then have the opportunity to apply those during a practice assessment.”

According to the Utah State Board of Education’s website the DWA is graded on six different standards; ideas and content, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency, and conventions.

In Mrs. Shanda Brown’s class students have also just finished up their mathmatical operations with fractions unit, and have started working with numbers and decimals in base ten. In social studies the students are enjoying learning about the American Revolution and are working in their State reports. On January 4th an early morning advanced math class started. The class is an extra-curricular activity for 4th and 5th graders with advanced scores in mathmatics; the class meets Friday mornings before school. “So far the students have enjoyed being able to engage in hands-on activites to learn volume and finding area of triangles. We will continue to learn concepts based on higher-level geometry standards throughout the remainded of the year.” Said Mrs. Brown.

Bell teaching incentive scholarship allows students who are interested in becoming a teacher and teaching in the State of Utah to receive a waiver for tuition and fees at Utah public institutions and $995 per semester at Utah private institutions to be used for a period not to exceed eight semesters. Upon the completion of graduation, the new teachers will be required to teach for a term equal to the number of years for which the scholarship was received. I would strongly encourage anyone who may be considering a career in education to apply for the T.H. Bell teaching incentive scholarship. When districts have the opportunity to hire their local students back as teachers they have a much higher probability of retaining these teachers over new teachers who may not be familiar with the area or do not have family ties to the communities. Find more information on the T.H. Bell scholarship at the following website: http://www.schools.utah.gov/cert/Loans-and-Scholarships/T-H-Bell_Student-application_2013.aspx.

Bryce Valley Elementary News

by Maren Stewart, Fifth Grade Since Christmas, First Grade has been learning about Polar Animals—polar bears, walruses, penguins, the Arctic fox. We made some goals for ourselves for 2013—the biggest one being “Go to Second Grade.” We have been doing the DIBELS tests to see how much our reading has improved, since we are halfway through the year now.

2nd grade:We have been learning about money and how to count it. In art we are learning how to draw cows while using rectangles.

The third grade had a lot of fun with our classroom Elf! He took us on many adventures and taught us about eight different countries and their traditions at Christmas time. We are excited for the new year and many things that we will learn and have planned to do.

5th grade: We have been working with fractions. We have learned how to put them in simplest form and add them. In science we are working on electricity and learning about series circuits and parallel circuits.

We also went and saw the fourth grade’s county reports, and they did a terrific job!

6th grade:we have been spending time in the computer lab doing power point presentations on plants. It’s been lots of fun and we can’t wait to present and learn all about the solar system.

It was another good week for the Basketball Teams.

The Bobcats have the best kept secret in Panguitch, they are the number #1 boys team in the State. While I was checking how the Lady Cats were ranked, I found this out, way to go Cats. The Bob Cats are undefeated in Region 20 and will start the second round with a game at Wayne on this Thurs. 24th and Diamond Ranch will be here on the 26th. Diamond Ranch is a team that you always have to worry about someone getting hurt in the game. This last week the Cats went up to Piute and beat the Thunderbirds by 11. Milford came here on Friday and the Cats just ran away with the game. The Cats probably have the two best players in the State in Tyce Barney and Dalan Bennett and now the other players are starting to also chip in, I don’t know how many points Mason Orton got on Friday but it seemed that every thing he threw up went in. Most all of the kids got to play in this game, with the Cats coming away with 75 to 48 victory.

The Lady Cats met up with Cross Creek and Diamond Ranch JV team. The legislators passed a law that the private schools will play in the public school leagues. They did no one a favor, the Cats beat both teams by 80 points, and again you have to worry about someone getting hurt.

Saturday the Ladies went over to Escalante to play the Moquis. In the JV game Brianne Bremner scored 27 points, 4 more than the Escalante team scored. In the Varsity game the Moquis hung in there only trailing 10 to 13 after the 1st. quarter. Then the Cats got into their running mode and led 29 to 20 at half time and continued to pour it on the rest of the game, winning 62 to 33. When the girls run, it seems that no one can stay with them very long. Last week 4 teams were tied for first place in Region 20, now it is down to Piute and Panguitch. Last week the Lady Cats were 4th place in State, with St. Joe in 1st, follow by BV and Piute. Last night the Cats traveled to BV to take on the Mustangs, who gave the Ladies one of their two loses. Tomorrow night the Lady Cats play host to the other team that gave them a loss, the Piute Thunderbirds. Piute has a great fan base, so come on out and enjoy the fun. Next week there is kind of an odd game against Valley and it will be on Tuesday 29th and it will be here. On Thursday the 31st they will travel over to Milford for a very tough game. Not much happing in town other than the sports programs, so spend a night away from the TV and join in the fun.

Publication Celebrates 75 Years of Conservation and Partnership Success Program Has Generated $14 Billion for Conservation from Hunters and Anglers

The U.S Fish and Wildlife Service has released a landmark publication celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program, the cornerstone of fish and wildlife conservation in North America. This program provides more than $700 million each year through the sale of hunting and fishing equipment to support habitat conservation and outdoor recreation projects across the nation.

The anniversary publication – “Celebrating the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program, 75 years of Conservation and Partnership Success” – comes at the end of a year-long awareness campaign with state fish and wildlife agencies, nongovernmental conservation organizations, fish and wildlife agencies, industry partners (including the American Sportfishing Association, the Archery Trade Association, National Marine Manufacturers Association, and the National Shooting Sports Foundation), and friends highlighting the Program, one of the most significant and successful conservation initiatives in history.

“All Americans, whether or not they hunt or fish, bene-

fit from this program. There’s a good chance that the trail they hike, the park where they watch birds, and the wildlife they see every day wouldn’t exist without the funding provided by hunters and anglers,” said Assistant Director Hannibal Bolton, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. “In addition to providing conservation benefits, Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration funds – along with revenue from state fishing and hunting licenses – support local economies and generate thousands of jobs.”

Since its inception in 1937, the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration program has generated more than $14 billion, which state fish and wildlife agencies use to purchase public land, improve essential wildlife habitat and create additional outdoor opportunities for everyone. It is funded through an excise tax on hunting- and shooting-related merchandise, fishing supplies and boat fuel. In 2011, hunters, anglers and wildlife watchers spent $145 billion on related gear, trips and other purchases such as licenses, tags, land leases and ownership.

Publication highlights include: Descriptions of successful conservation partnerships

involving state agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and additional Fish and Wildlife Service partners throughout the country.

Accounts of diverse fish and wildlife species and outdoor recreation activities that are supported by the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration program and its partners, as well as the federal grant programs conducted by the Fish and Wildlife Service.

A detailed history of the program from its inception in 1937.

“The success of the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program over the past 75 years to restore fish and wildlife populations, open access for outdoor recreation and provide safety education has been the greatest untold conservation story,” said Ron Regan, Executive Director of the Association of Fish & Wildlife Agencies. “This publication illustrates the trust between America’s sportsmen and women; the hunting, shooting sports and angling industry; and state and federal agencies that is the backbone of our users-pay, everyone benefits funding system for fish and wildlife conservation.”

Sometimes no news is good news.

Last night there was a birthday party for Panguitch’s Ambassador Art Cooper. As one gets older you really need to celebrate each and every birthday. Art who grew up in Panguitch has been really busy since retiring as a Professor in Texas. He has served on the City Council, been Mayor, served on various committees, Main Street, Hospital foundation, Hwy. 12, just to name a few and he also delivers meals on wheels to Hatch. This last summer Art ran a guided tour of Panguitch for the tourist and locals and got a lot of good revues. I am looking forward to your 90th, it will be here before we know it.

We have several walking wounded in town, Troy Norris is recovering from an extremely painful and badly injured knee that he received playing morning basketball at the Church. V. Henrie is wearing his halo a little low these day.

V’s finally had his painful neck operated on, they took a bone out of his hip to use in fusing his spine and with a neck brace it makes for some tough sleeping. Both of these guys are on the mend and hopefully will be back as good as new.

Football is coming to an end and next week will be the Super Bowl. Hockey is finally starting up, but half of their season has been lost to a lock out. Basketball will be going full blast for at least 4 months and that will keep us couch potatoes happy. How about those Jazz? They look like they might make the playoffs, without any super stars, just playing like a team goes a long way.

I gleaned this from the Tribune, since we are a recreation County. There was a large number of hunters and anglers in the State, last year. There were 192,871 licensed hunters last year and they spent 549 million dollars, in retail sales.

The number of jobs created by hunting sales was 12,471.

The State received 62 million in State and Local taxes. There were 413,568 licensed anglers last year and they generated 490 million in retail sales.

Fishermen created 7,200 jobs in the fishing industry and the State reaped 50 million in State and Local taxes.

Here are some facts from the Smithsonian magazine about fire that I found interesting. Only two percent of the world’s fires that occurred between 2002-2011 were in the United States. 1,200,000 av-

erage acres of U.S. woodlands burn each year. 70 percent of the world’s fires during that same time occurred in Africa.

20252 is the personal zip code given to Smokey Bear, because of all the fan mail he receives.

The Great Chicago Fire in 1871, destroyed 33 percent of the city.

However in 1666 in the Great London fire, 80 percent of the City was destroyed. 200,000 is the estimated number of accused witches that were burned in Europe. An underground coal mine in Australia’s Burning Mountain has been burning for 6,000 years. There have been reported 200 cases of spontane-

ous human combustion over the past 300 years.

Some of the residents at the extended care center have been saving their table scraps from their tables to feed 2 cats.

The cats have become quite dependent upon the residents and the residents have become quite attached to the cats. Last week the two cats were run over, on purpose according to one of the residents. Shame on the person who took the joy and pleasure these cats gave to these residents.

The Wayne & Garfield County INSIDER

Every1Counts Grandma K:

By Cynthia Kimball I know a dear woman who is very important to me.

Everyone who knows her calls her “Grandma K”, but she’s also known as Anita Kennedy.

Grandma K once lived Piute County and worked as a teacher there for 22 years (plus one in Salt Lake City).

Everyone loves Grandma K especially me. I do not have any living grandparents, but Grandma K is my grandmother.

As I’ve come to know her I’ve learned that she has so much wisdom. I could honestly just sit and listen to her talk for days about all that she’s learned over the course of her life.

Every Sunday Grandma K and I ride to church together. And on these days, I cannot wait to see her! Typically, though, we talk several times a week and sometimes even see each other.

I would do anything for Grandma K. I know that she was divinely designed to come into my life. And she will tell you the same. We figure we need each other.

I hope you learn a little bit about one of my favorite people and come to love her as much as I do; especially since, she really is still a teacher.

KIMBALL: Grandma, what grades did you teach when you were in Piute?

KENNEDY: Teaching in that very small school district, we only had 125 students in the whole junior and senior high school, I taught 1st and 2nd grades for 2 years. It was a combined class and the Kindergarten children came in the afternoon.

KIMBALL: What was your favorite thing about teaching?

KENNEDY: I loved to teach reading and math. When I would see a child I taught later in the years read, for example, from a church talk, it made

tHe lAuGhiNg pOiNt!!

Once a Teacher, Always One

me feel so good; like I’d done something good for my students.

KIMBALL: What did you learn as a teacher that you never thought you would?

KENNEDY: I taught a young man from a broken home who was unruly. I had him in the 1st and 2nd grade and then again in 7th and 8th grade which were also combined grades (in these grades, I taught science and English. I was also the librarian). Well, this young man would jump from desk to desk. And in the library he’d run all over those tables. Yet, for some reason, when he saw me, he’d bow each time. Later when he graduated from high school, as the teachers lined up to congratulate the students, he said to me, “Mrs. Kennedy, you’re the best teacher I’ve ever had!” And I thought, “It’s made teaching all worthwhile and maybe I did some good for a young man who desperately needed it.” That young man even ended up fulfilling a mission for his church.

KIMBALL: What wisdom do you have for anyone wanting to get into teaching?

KENNEDY: We learn so much through the years, through our experiences, and I think there’s a story called “The Teacher and Little Teddy Stoddard” that teaches a lot of wisdom. (see http://teddystoddard.blogspot.com/2011/12/ teacher-and-little-teddy-stoddard.html to read the story or just Google, “The Teacher and Little Teddy Stoddard). Every teacher should read that story.

It is a wealth of wisdom.

KIMBALL: Other wisdom?

KENNEDY: I think probably not to form opinions too much as you teach; just try to love them and help make their lives better by giving them everything you can to teach them to live in the world in a good way.

KIMBALL: Anything else?

KENNEDY: You hear so much so about this grade or that grade being one of the best to teach or some don’t go into those because it’s too much of a challenge, but what’s most important are the students and learning to care about them.

Just try to be the best person you can be. Be loving and charitable and have kindness.

Have a great desire to make the lives of your students be more successful and better.

Prepare them to be ready to face the new world.

KIMBALL: What do you wish you’d known before becoming a teacher?

KENNEDY: We really need to investigate all the grades and see which ones’ are most suitable for us.

KIMBALL: What’s the best advice you got from another teacher?

KENNEDY: Best advice I ever got was from observing another teacher and almost all he ever did was show history movies. He really wasn’t a teacher. We need to interact a lot with our students and know our subjects really well.

KIMBALL: Any last words?

KENNEDY: I loved the kids, I tell you.

KIMBALL: And if you could go back and choose another career?

KENNEDY: I’d choose teacher, oh absolutely. I love children of all ages. Yet, if I’d had known then what I know now I would have been a far better teacher.

KIMBALL: Oh, Grandma!

Windows Frozen

A wife texts her husband on a cold morning: “Windows frozen.”

Her husband texts back: “Pour some lukewarm water over it.”

The wife texts back 5 minutes later: “Computer completely messed up now.”

Company Policy

My husband and I attended A shopper at the grocery store had written a check for her purchases and was waiting for the clerk to bag them.

Instead, he asked for identification, citing company policy.

The flustered shopper responded, “But I’m your mother!”

Drinking at Lunch

Learning that several of his employees were tanking up on no-trace vodka martinis during lunch hours, a wise company president issued the following memo: To All Employees: If you must drink during lunch, please drink whiskey. It is much better for our customers to know you’re drunk than to think you’re stupid.

Driver Training

My teenaged niece was nervous as she took the wheel for her first driving lesson. As she was pulling out of the parking lot, the instructor said, “Turn left here, and don’t forget to let the people behind you know what you’re doing.”

She turned to the students sitting in the back seat and announced, “I’m going left.”

Looking Natural

The other night, my wife and I were getting dressed before going out for dinner.

She put on eyebrow pencil, eye shadow, eyeliner, eyelashes, mascara, toner, blush and lipstick, then turned to me and said, “Does this look natural?”

does not own assets but rather the trustee of the trust owns the assets. It is critical to understand that a revocable trust only avoids probate if the assets have been properly transferred to the trust.

2. Out of State Property.

A revocable trust is especially useful if you own real estate in another state. Real estate in another state generally requires a probate proceeding in that state. If you live in one state but own real estate in another state, your beneficiaries may be required to commence multiple probate proceedings.

This situation can be avoided through the use of a revocable trust.

3. Avoiding Court Appointed Conservatorship. A

properly drafted trust should provide for the management of trust assets in the event the person contributing the property to the trust becomes incapacitated. This would avoid the need for a court appointed conservator for financial matters.

In conclusion, a revocable trust is an important estate planning tool. Depending on your individual situation and desires, you may decide to use a revocable trust as your principal estate planning tool.

As in all estate planning decisions, being educated about your choices is key in deciding whether a revocable trust is right for you.

A newly married man, feeling a little insecure, asked his wife, “Would you have married me if my father hadn’t left me a fortune?”

“Honey,” his bride replied sweetly, “I’d have married you no matter who left you that fortune!”

Rambunctious

My twins were born when my oldest boy was just 16 months old. When the twins became toddlers, my brood had grown into a rambunctious threesome,and I relied on my mother for advice and moral support. One morning I phoned her to describe how one of the twins had decorated the living and dining room walls with colorful, indelible felt markers.

“I’ll have to paint everything,” I wailed. “I’ll never be able to scrub this off!”

Quietly, Mom said, “When you did it, you used lipstick.”

AG MARKET NEWS

Is a Living Trust Right for You? The use of a revocable trust (sometimes referred to as a “living trust” or “family trust”) to plan one’s estate has become very popular. Despite the popularity of the revocable trust, revocable trusts are not without their potential problems.

First, it is important to understand that there is no definitive answer as to whether a trust is necessary. Another estate planner explained that asking whether a revocable trust is good or bad is like asking whether a wrench is good or bad. It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. A trust is just an estate planing tool. Whether it is good or bad depends on your needs and desires.

Although there are many factors to consider in determining whether a revocable trust is right for you, here are a few of the more significant factors: 1. Avoiding Probate. It is true that a properly funded trust avoids probate. If the goal of the client is to avoid probate, it is critical that the trust be properly funded. To “properly fund” a trust, title to all assets and beneficiary designations for insurance policies and retirement accounts must be reviewed. A properly funded trust avoids probate because the owner of the assets (generally termed the trustor, settlor, grantor or trustmaker in the trust document) conveys ownership from him or herself (in his or her individual capacity) to him or herself as trustee of his or her trust. Probate is avoided because for “probate purposes” the deceased person

She served as office managers of Castle Press and Turner Lumber in Price, Utah. Most recently she served as the office manager of the Foster Care Citizen Review Board in Salt Lake City. Everywhere she worked she found people to love, skills to perfect and a way to succeed in her position. In each of these places she found people that dearly loved her too. Lynette was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where she had many callings that she learned to love and that allowed her to serve Heavenly Father and her fellowman.

ESCALANTE News

It’s Tax Time

by Marlene Haws ~ 826-4859 • marleneh@color-country.net Escalante residents and those in the surrounding area have been in a state of shock and sadness this week. Last Saturday afternoon the airplane of owner and pilot, Paul Bowmar, 56, crashed into transmission power lines in the hogsback area, taking the lives of Paul and a friend, Nicholas Reznick, 49. Both residents of Escalante.

Our thoughts, prayers and sincere condolences go out to their wives, Linda Mansell and Melanie Reznick, their families and many friends.

Our thoughts and prayers also go out to former resident, Terrill Bailey, his wife Colleen and family, who are suffering more heartache at this time.

Terrill is Mckay Bailey’s brother. Terrill’s grandson, Cody Bailey, is back in a fight against cancer once again. He had to have his leg, and hip, amputated a few short years ago. He had received a new limb and was getting around great when a tumor was discovered in his lung. Such a fine young man with so much promise. He was a terrific baseball player.

He has a lot of spunk so we are certainly wishing him the best.

I received an e-mail from a lady in Stettler, Alberta, Canada, recently who said she had had a visit from an Elder Johnson whose hometown was about 45 minutes from

Escalante and he knew my grandson, Chad Cottam. She, of course, did not know his first name right away but said he was so excited to find someone up there who knew someone from his home town area. I think this elder must be Hayden (?) Johnson, son of Moyle and Tracy Johnson of Tropic? This lady I speak of, sister Carlson, and I became such good e-mail friends (through Chad), and we had so much in common, that she and her daughter drove all the way down here about 3 years ago to visit me. Such a small world. She was anxiously awaiting another visit from Elder Johnson so she could show him pictures she had of Chad.

Brent and Patrice Cottam visited Doyle Cottam at the care center in Panguitch last Saturday. Doyle is doing a little better. They also visited with Cal Porter, Parley Pratt, Garneal Smith and the “whole bunch” they said. Aren’t we blessed to have such a great facility where we can take our loved ones for health care?

Pauline Lott has been in the hospital in St. George for surgery. Hopefully she will be home by the time you read this.

Get well soon, Pauline, you are in our thoughts and prayers and you have a lot of good supporters and helpers in Dennis, Emilee, Elaine and Val. Mark Mclemore called me, very much excited, to tell

me that his daughter, Hailey, has received her mission call.

She will be going to the New Zealand Auckland mission and will have until May to prepare.

We are excited for you too, Hailey. So many of our young girls are choosing this route since the age change. Definitely a new era!

Ben Porter called to tell me that his son, Coy, Provo, has just been given a new job, that of Utah State Fire Marshall. He will be over all state controlled buildings and will have 80 people working under him. Ben (Renee) was so proud and so are we, Coy! I have also had a call from Ken Shurtz (son of the late Hal and Geneal Shurtz). He had just returned from Phoenix where he had visited with Bob and Sandra Porter (former residents). They have in their possession REELS of movie film taken by Sandra’s parents, Reva and Gail Bailey (both deceased). They are having that film transferred to discs and Kenny is hopeful that copies can be donated to the Escalante Heritage Center. He says you cannot imagine all the history that is embodied in those films. He called me because, he said, they had filmed mine and Klyn’s wedding ceremony.

He said, “I could tell it was you, Marlene, by your beautiful black hair!” Bless you, Kenny! That was over 62 years

ago! And bless you, Sandra and Bob, for preserving this beautiful history of Escalante! What a treasure!

Congratulations to Katelyn and Chad Pearman who became parents of twin girls on Jan. 13, 2013. Katelyn is a daughter of Patrice and Steve Eyre and great grandparents are Bill and the late Dawn Griffin.

Happy 90th Birthday to Yukon Norman, TODAY Jan. 24th. It would be nice if you remember her in some small way! She’s a great lady and has lived a great life!

Report from Tori Lindsay at the Escalante High School: Homecoming at the EHS last week. King and Queen were: Fabian Plancarte and Lindsey Phillips. Prince and Princess were: Jesse Ahlstrom and Kinzi Stowe. Duke and Duchess were: Walker Smith and Tayler Duthie. We had 9 couples in all, the other 6 included Kolt Smith and Jaycee Nez, Preston Scott and Kobbi Smith, Trace Torgerson and Savannah Steed, Gus Torgerson and Tori Lindsay, Kayson Durfey and Sarah Gardner and Hunter Sanchez and Shelby Steed. We did all kinds of activities through the week, like human bowling, the newlywed game, shave the balloon, the best shaved leg, etc.

Took many pictures and had a blast!

TORREY News Adus Dorsey Minus degree weather seized Wayne County with an icy grip and caused wide spread water damage. Plumbers, handymen and women and town maintenance personnel were and are still busy repairing frozen pipes—some yet to be found. Hardware stores and plumbing supply houses saw people come in that they haven’t seen in a long time or never at all. Firewood piles took a big hit during the deep freeze and it was not uncommon to see frozen Levis swinging solidly on the clothesline in some neighborhoods. Folks generally had to wait until about noon to go anywhere because their cars wouldn’t start. Kids waited in cars at the bus stop and made a mad dash to the bus when it arrived, then they huddled close together on the bus to stay warm, and there wasn’t a lot of talk about global warming. The only ones that were ecstatically happy about the January frosty freeze were the Propane suppliers.

On Saturday the 19th of January the Sand Creek irrigation company held their annual shareholders meeting at the Torrey Town Hall under the direction of President Dean Bogedahl. Enough shareholders were present to hold a meeting. Dustin Oyler was nominated to fill Peter Daniels position on the Board and was presented with a shovel.

The financial report was read

by Secretary Jackie Bogedahl.

There was much discussion about the yearly repairs due to flooding and the need to clean the pond and remove the willows. The meeting was then adjourned.

During the Sand Creek irrigation meeting there was some discussion about how Torrey Town’s overflow water would enter into the Sand Creek irrigation system. There was also some confusion and discontent about how, why and when needed Torrey Town treats the Town’s drinking water.

Torrey Town is required to test water samples throughout the water system monthly and contractors are required to receive two health department approved samples before any new lines are put into service.

To not do so is a violation of the Safe Drinking Water Act and a system violation with stiff penalties, fines and being

Boyd Black, celebrating his 93rd birthday. branded an unapproved water system, an embarrassing designation no town would find acceptable.

Due the major nature of the recent construction and upgrading of the water system, treatment has been needed to maintain safe drinking water in the water system. In doing so the methods used to calculate the treatment dosages for a daily fluctuating water system has been rather archaic and unscientific resulting in safe but sometimes chlorinetasting water, not popular for some very vocal individuals.

Torrey Town is installing a treatment site on the Town’s water system to intermittently, scientifically and safely treat Torrey Town’s drinking water when the event and need arises. This action is being taken at a time when monies are presently available to do so and will provide a source of treatment when federal requirements for treatment of all water systems are put into place.

Unbeknownst to many past and present water users there are occasions that Torrey Town and Towns and cities everywhere have had to treat their water systems. Heavy rain fall, no rain fall, floods, man made and natural disasters do sometime compromise water systems, it is a fact of

life and something that can and will be dealt with safely.

The idea of a treatment facility on Torrey Town’s water system is not a new one. The days of having to treat Torrey Town’s drinking water after a bad health department sample by dropping pucks of chlorine tablets into the storage tanks will soon be over. Jones and Demille Engineering have designed a low impact treatment facility that can be immediately put into use in the event it is needed. The treatment facility will only treat the actual amount of water Torrey Town uses, which means during those treatment times all excess water will be diverted into to the Sand Creek irrigation system at a higher level on the mountain rather than sent through the storage tanks for overflow into the Sand Creek pond.

It is a Torrey Town policy to continuously provide reliable and safe drinking water to its customers.

return address on it, the correspondence gets shredded, as we all know what the anonymous have to say and it is never nice nor does it ever contain anything worth reading.

Peter Daniels’ going away party was fun and memorable.

The 200 North block in Torrey was lined with vehicles on both sides from one end to the other. At first it was thought Wayne County Deputy Mica Owens was there to control traffic but later it became clear he was just one of the many there to show their respects.

Just about every musician in lower Wayne County showed up with an acoustic instrument and spent the sunny afternoon playing all the songs they knew. There was Jim Robinson and Sandy Borthwick, Will Barclay, Jim Adams, Billy from Boulder on the fiddle and piano, Wade Hansen, Mark Baysinger, Stanie on the spoons, Tys Winkle and Camille Pace on the bongo drums, and Adus even played a tune or two on the mandolin.

Most notable in the crowd was Peter’s Dad Courtney Daniels. In a conversation with him he said he flew planes in World War II, Korea and Viet Nam before being sent to the Pentagon and a desk job that he didn’t like all that much. I felt proud to be in his presence and make his acquaintance. Also present were Jessica Daniels Peter’s daughter and all of Peter’s siblings Dan, John, Mike, Sue Ann, Sally and Joe. There was lots of music, friends, food and stories about Peter. God Speed our friend.

A 93rd birthday dinner was held in Boyd Black’s honor at Keith Tolman’s in Torrey on Saturday night. According to some it is rumored Boyd Black, Guy Pace and Dee Hatch discovered Wayne County, but in Boyd’s own words, “It don’t have to be true to be a good story.”

The Sorensen family would like to express their thanks for the overwhelming gift of love and support they have received from the benefit dinner/auction held on 14 January. Our hearts are full and overflowing with gratitude. The Garfield County area is a great place to live and was never more evident that that evening.

nated items and services. We love you all and are grateful for the blessing you have been in our lives. God Bless you in your efforts.

We send our love and prayers to the Tim Leech Family and all the Syrett family, especially Rod and Kathern Syrett, on the loss of Chrishel Syrett Leech. She will be so missed by everyone and was such a special young lady. We know she is out of pain now.

We all loved Chrishel and hope the family can find peace in knowing she is in the presence of our Savior. Grandma Jean Syrett welcomed her with open arms we are sure and will lovingly take care of Chrishel.

There is a beautiful tribute for Chrishel on Facebook if you can log on and see it.

Art and Vicki Syrett were in Manti in -7 degrees temperatures on Friday and Saturday.

Federal Agencies Announce National Council to Build 21st Century Conservation Corps WASHINGTON, DC — Leaders of eight federal departments and agencies today announced that they have signed an agreement setting up a national council to guide implementation of the Obama Administration’s 21st Century Conservation Service Corps (21CSC) – a national collaborative effort to put America’s youth and returning veterans to work protecting, restoring and enhancing America’s great outdoors. By signing the Memorandum of Understanding finalized today, the Secretaries of the Interior, Agriculture, Commerce, and Labor, as well as the EPA Administrator, Chair of the President’s Council on Environmental Quality, CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service and Assistant Secretary for the Army (Civil Works) established the National Council for the 21CSC—fully implementing the first recommendation of the America’s Great Outdoors nitiative introduced by President Obama in 2010.

“The President’s America’s Great Outdoors Initiative is helping to connect Americans from all backgrounds with the recreational, economic and health benefits of our nation’s extraordinary natural resources,” said Nancy Sutley, Chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality. “The 21st Century Conservation Service Corps will help prepare the leaders of the future by providing youth with valuable opportunities for recreation, career development and service to their community and their Nation.”

“Building on the legacy of President Roosevelt’s Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression in the 1930s, the 21st Century Conservation Service Corps will help build and train a workforce who fully represent the diversity of America while creating the next generation of environmental stewards and improving the condition of our public lands,” said Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar.

The 21CSC focuses on helping young people – including diverse low-income, underserved and at-risk youth, as well as returning veterans – gain valuable training and work experience while accomplishing needed conservation and restoration work on public lands, waterways and cultural heritage sites. It builds on existing partnerships with youth conservation corps across the country to engage thousands of young Americans in hands-on service and job training experiences on public lands and community green spaces.

“By coordinating resources across the federal family and working with partners, the 21CSC will accomplish important restoration work, provide more job and training opportunities to a diverse group of young Americans, expand educational opportunities for

youth, and create meaningful pathways to careers-- all while reconnecting America’s youth with the great outdoors,” said Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack.

“This is a great example of how innovative partnerships are utilizing government resources more efficiently and effectively,” said Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis. “The Labor Department is committed to working with our partners to provide young people – especially those from underserved communities – with exposure to a wide variety of in-demand jobs and valuable training opportunities that can form the foundation of lifelong careers.”

“Our federal lands and waters are vital to the health and well-being of Americans,” added Jo Ellen Darcy, Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works), who oversees the Corps of Engineers. “The 21CSC will expand the Corps’ capacities to conserve and maintain these areas, and provide youth and veterans with meaningful work, education and exposure to the outdoors.”

Today’s announcement expands ongoing efforts of the Administration to increase job opportunities for young people, a priority for this Administration since the beginning days.

For example, over the past four years, the Department of the Interior has dramatically increased the number of young people the Department engages, educates and employs: youth employment has increased by 35 percent since the beginning of the Obama Administration, with an average of 20,000 young people employed per year.

The USDA Forest Service’s focus on expanding youth engagement opportunities resulted in an investment of more than $18 million in FY 2012 on programs and partnerships that provided volunteer, service and employment opportunities on national forests and grasslands for nearly 10,000 young people.

The Department of Commerce has employed returning veterans in conjunction with the California Conservation Corps. “21CSC is an important resource for helping put our youth back to work while promoting environmental stewardship,” said Acting Commerce Secretary Rebecca Blank.

“And at the same time, it’s a critical opportunity to focus on making certain our veterans have access to quality jobs.

We here at Commerce plan to use 21CSC to expand NOAA’s existing habitat conservation programs to provide technical training to veterans and youth so they can develop expertise in the conservation sector.”

The Corporation for National and Community Service has extensive experience engaging youth in results-driven service. “As we see every day in AmeriCorps, young people bring extraordinary energy,

passion, and talent to public service,” said CNCS CEO Wendy Spencer. “This partnership is a win all-around: it expands opportunity for young people, taps the leadership skills of veterans, improves our public lands, and puts a new generation on a lifelong path of service.”

21CSC members and their contributions range from youth corps members helping run shelters and restore parks and beaches in New York City in the wake of Hurricane Sandy to youth and veterans building trails and leading interpretation programs in remote national parks, forests and coastal habitats.

“The 21CSC program is a great example of how collaboration – not only across federal agencies, but also among others in the private and public sectors – can bring about economic, environmental and health benefits for those who need it the most: our youth and our returning heroes,” said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson. “America is home to some of the most beautiful outdoor spaces in the world. The 21CSC will not only help our young people feel more of a connection to those spaces, but it will also ensure our treasured outdoors are preserved for generations to come.”

Creating the National Council was a key recommendation from the Federal Advisory Committee in support of outdoor youth engagement announced by Secretaries Salazar and Vilsack in December 2011. Composed of representatives of the nation’s conservation, service and workforce development groups, along with representatives from federal agencies, this committee was charged with advising the federal agencies on how to build on the important ongoing work of local, state, federal and non-profit youth conservation corps. Within their sixmonth deadline, the committee provided Salazar and Vilsack with guidance on a framework for the Conservation Service Corps’ vision, principles and strategies.

The National Council will work across the federal government to support the 21CSC by enhancing partnerships with existing youth corps programs around the nation; stimulating existing and new public-private partnerships; and aligning the investment of current federal government resources. Members will be represented on the National Council by members of the senior leadership of each agency, bureau or office. The National Council will initially be co-chaired by representatives from the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture, for a one-year term, after which the two co-chair positions will be chosen from among the National Council members by consensus.

Practical Money Matters

With Investments, Diversifying is Key

by Jason Alderman

Ever wonder why Mom and Pop stores sell wildly unrelated products side by side, like umbrellas and sunglasses, or Halloween candy and screwdrivers? Customers probably would never buy these items on the same shopping trip, right?

That’s exactly the point.

By diversifying their product offerings, vendors reduce the risk of losing sales on any given day, since people don’t usually buy umbrellas on sunny days or sunglasses when it rains.

The same diversification principle also applies in the investment world, where it’s referred to as asset allocation. By spreading your assets across different investment classes (stock mutual funds, bonds, money market securities, real estate, cash, etc.), if one category tanks temporarily you may be at least partially protected by others.

You must weigh several factors when determining how best to allocate your assets: Risk tolerance. This refers to your appetite for risking the loss of some or all of your original investment in exchange for greater potential rewards. Although higher-risk investments (like stocks) are potentially more profitable over the long haul, they’re also at greater risk for shortterm losses. Ask yourself, would you lose sleep investing in funds that might lose money or fluctuate wildly in value for

Taking Capital Steps to Radon Action

SALT LAKE CITY The Utah Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), Division of Radiation Control joined CanSAR (Cancer Survivors Against Radon) and others on the Capitol Steps for the Third Annual “Capital Steps to Radon Action” on Wednesday, January 23rd.

CanSAR—made up of individuals who didn’t know they were living with high levels of radon until the diagnosis of lung cancer invaded their lives—takes this opportunity to educate the public of the danger of high levels of radioactive radon gas in homes, schools, and workplaces. Radon gas, a Class A carcinogen, may seep from the ground into occupied buldings through cracks, openings, and porous conerete. Elevated levels of radon have been found in every state, but it is easily tested and not difficult to fix or mitigate.

Approximately 21,000 individuals die each year from radon-induced lung cancer. What a tragedy, but you can help make a difference with support for radon awareness, acceptance, and action.

For more information about upcoming Radon Action events, please go to: www,radon.utah. gov or call 800-458-0145.

several years; or will you comfortably risk temporary losses in exchange for potentially greater returns?

Time horizon. This is the expected length of time you’ll be investing for a particular financial goal. If you are decades away from retirement, you may be comfortable with riskier, more volatile investments. But if your retirement looms, or you’ll soon need to tap college savings, you might not want to risk sudden downturns that could gut your balance in the short term.

Diversification within risk categories is also important. From a diversification standpoint it’s not prudent to invest in only a few stocks.

That’s why mutual funds are so popular: They pool money from many investors and buy a broad spectrum of securities. Thus, if one company in the fund does poorly, the overall impact on your account is lessened.

Many people don’t have the expertise – or time – to build a diversified investment portfolio with the proper asset mix. That’s why most 401(k) plans and brokerages offer portfolios with varying risk profiles, from extremely conservative (e.g., mostly treasury bills or money market funds) to very aggressive (stock in smaller businesses or in developing countries).

Typically, each portfolio is comprised of various investments that combined reach

the appropriate risk level. For example, one moderately conservative portfolio offered by Schwab consists of 50 percent interest-bearing bond funds, 40 percent stocks and 10 percent cash equivalents. Usually, the more aggressive the portfolio, the higher percentage of stocks it contains (i.e., higher risk/higher reward).

Another possibility is the so-called “targeted maturity” or lifecycle funds offered by many 401(k) plans and brokerages. With these, you choose the fund closest to your planned retirement date and the fund manager picks an appropriate investment mixture. As retirement approaches the fund is continually “rebalanced” to become more conservative.

Although convenient, this one-size-fits-all approach may not suit your individual needs; for example, you may want to invest more – or less – aggressively, or may not like some of the funds included.

These may seem like complicated concepts, but the Security and Exchange Commission’s publication, “Beginner’s Guide to Asset Allocation, Diversification and Rebalancing,” does a good job explaining them (www.sec. gov).
