The county leases 7 pickup trucks, which are used by various agencies for a variety of purposes including law enforcement, fire and emergency use, senior services, airport, etc. Some are owned outright by the county and some are leased. The county has not, until now, had an official policy about vehicle use.

Wayne Emergency Planning Episode Sixteen: Understanding HAZMAT Incidents WAYNE COUNTY - Due to the two hazardous materials incidents in 2018, such incidents and our ability to respond are at the forefront of attention from our Wayne County emergency personnel. Efforts are currently focused on getting us better prepared to handle HAZMAT incidents, those being the type of emergency that requires the most knowledge and equipment to safely handle.

HAZMAT training for our first responders is underway, according to Jeanie Webster our Emergency Manager.

The discussions at the most recent LEPC meeting made it clear that HAZMAT incidents have the potential to be catastrophic if training and equipment are inadequate. It seems important also for citizens to have an understanding of the subject; hence this episode is devoted to basic information about such incidents. A subsequent episode will provide information on warning signals, other notification meth-

Florence Alvey Celebrates 100th

Women's Aviation Pioneer Served as WASP During WWII E S C A L A N T E / PA N GUITCH - Florence Prince Alvey recently celebrated her 100th birthday at an open house with family and friends.

Florence was born in Panguitch, Utah to Joseph Oscar and Agnes Sarepta Heywood Prince on November 23, 1918.

She was a twin and the youngest of nine children. She grew up in Panguitch where she was loved and admired by many nieces and nephews. It was there that her interest and great love of flying began when a ‘barnstormer’ landed in a field and offered to take passen-

gers for a short ride for a fee of $4.00. She always said that ride was a highlight in her life.

After graduating from high school, she went to Cedar City to attend the Branch Agricultural College where she worked part time in the office of the Executive Secretary.

She graduated in 1939 and remained there to work. It was at the onset of World War II and the college received word that it had been chosen for a flighttraining program. There were Florence Alvey Cont'd on page 10

which, SCC is proud to say $5,500 was distributed between Panguitch Elementary and Panguitch High School.

According to Panguitch High School Principal, Russell Torgersen, the funds raised for PHS will likely go towards a remodel of the school’s library, as they seek a comfortable, inviting, and usable multipurpose room for students to gather and study. For Panguitch Elementary School, the funds will be spread across a number of needed areas. “We recently put some of it towards a Mastery Training Workshop for our teachers, in addition to placing an order for more e-

book readers for students who have participated in our reading contest. This money is a blessing to our school and will be even more so in the months ahead,” stated Panguitch Elementary School Principal, Nick Reynolds.

Given the overwhelming success of the “Go Gig for Schools” promotion and the harmony with SCC’s mission of improving their communities, you can expect to see SCC roll out this promotion again in 2019. They look forward to expanding the fiber optic network in the coming year and are excited about the opportunity to offer this promotion to even more communities this Fall.

Next was a discussion of adding a new, more convenient restroom to the county fairground. Commissioners agreed to meet with a contractor at the fairground to explore a location and construction of the building, which would be paid for with Restaurant Tax funds.

County Attorney Mike Olsen was appointed for another year.

The Internal Control Review Questionnaire required by the state was discussed.

It deals with reconciling and reporting of county bank accounts, as well as a monthly report from each department which must be reviewed and

approved by the commissioners. Commissioners discussed timing of such reviews and filing reports in a timely manner, as well as monthly ratification of county payroll. They also must adopt a conflict-ofinterest policy, which will be drafted and approved at the next meeting.

Finally, Jeannie Webster described the hunt for a trailer to be used as a Mobile Command Trailer for use at county events, fires, etc. She has found a suitable unit in Spanish Fork. Purchase of the trailer was approved by the commission, and will be paid for with Homeland Security funds.

It’s hard to imagine the Women’s Redrock Music Festival without thinking about the town of Torrey and the surrounding beauty.

Since its inception, the founders of WRMF planned and shaped the festival with the grounds of Robber’s Roost as its base. The festival was created for Torrey and never planned on any other venue.

ods, and current recommendations for remaining safe.

Hazardous materials are defined as substances that are flammable, corrosive, air or water reactive, or toxic. This includes many commonly used substances that are potentially lethal. Hazardous materials incidents are categorized depending on severity, and response capabilities are correspondingly categorized. A Level One response is generally all that a county like ours can muster. A Level Two response would require bringing in regional resources—equipment, personnel, greater knowledge and training. A Level Three response could entail many agencies and a national or federal level response. If terrorism is thought to be involved then an incident is considered Level Three and federal involvement is automatic.

The following descriptions, with minor changes, are taken from the Mid America LEPC Regional Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness Plan. The material doesn’t make for exciting reading, but it will give you some understanding of what might have happened should we ever get evacuation or shelter-in-place orders. I have not included all the examples for each level, but enough to give you the idea.

Criteria used to determine the level include: * The characteristics of the hazardous material. * The nature of its release. * The area affected by the hazardous materials incident (e.g., populations, sensitive ecosystems, waterways, transportation routes, etc.). * The extent of multiagency and multi-jurisdictional involvement. * Evacuations, injuries or fatalities. * The technical expertise and equipment needed to safely mitigate the incident. * Duration Level One incidents are defined as minor situations within the capabilities of first responders trained at the “operational” level. (Operational level refers to what a first responder has been trained to do, safely, in a defensive fashion to keep the material from spreading.) These incidents involve a release, or possible release, of a small amount of gas, liquid or solid of a known (identified) hazardous material. In addition, the agency on-scene has the expertise and proper equipment to safely mitigate the incident.

Typical Level One incidents include: • Minor leaks or spills from a 55-gallon drum, cylinders up to one-ton capacity, bags or packages. • Release of chemicals which do not produce an environment which is immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) or above the Lower Explosion Limit (LEL) of a product. • Chemical releases that have minimal environmental impact that do not require outside resources. • Evacuations limited to a single intersection or building. • No Local Heritage Cont'd from page 1

Thanks to everyone who has been sending in historical photos and stories for the cultural heritage project. Several weeks ago a photo was published of the Fremont Brass Band. Francine Hallows shared the story of her grandfather Charles Ellett who was the driver holding the reins.

He owned both the wagon and horses and was known for his horsemanship.

Lyman Forsythe shared the Shivwits Dance Team photo for this week. In the early 1930s, this group of Southern Paiute people performed traditional dances throughout Southern Utah.

In 1932, a Sun Dance was held at Fish Lake near Bowery Haven. Dee Hatch of

life threatening situation from materials involved. • Suspicious packages that the threat and substance are considered non-hazardous.

Level Two incidents are beyond the capabilities of first responders and the agency with jurisdictional responsibility, and require mitigation by a hazardous materials team. This can range from a small incident involving any amount of an unknown substance to a large incident involving multiple agencies and jurisdictions.

A Level Two incident is declared if the incident involves a sufficient quantity of gas, liquid or solid of a known hazardous substance or any quantity of an unknown material that has been released or offers the potential for release. Any incident involving a release or potential release of an unknown hazardous material or suspected hazardous material is immediately upgraded to Level Two. (This is why our two recent incidents in Wayne County were Level Two incidents: the materials used were unknown and samples had to be sent elsewhere to be identified.)

A Level Two incident is declared for the release of any quantity of a known solid or liquid toxic material in a critical public area or for the release or potential release of any quantity of an unknown solid, liquid or gaseous toxic material or suspected toxic material (all gases other than natural gas are considered toxic). Localized evacuation may need to be implemented and outside agencies are notified.

Level Two incidents include: • One or more 55-gallon drums, one-ton cylinders, nurse tanks, totes, portable containers that are leaking considerable amounts of a known substance.

• A major, liquefied gas leak due to puncture, crack or crease of a large tank where ignition sources are a real threat. • Evacuations consisting of an apartment complex, city block or large facility with many employees.

Level Three incidents include any incident beyond the capabilities of the hazardous materials team and local resources, requiring state or federal agency help. The incident may be quite lengthy in duration and may necessitate largescale evacuations. It is likely a Level Three incident will involve multiple agencies and jurisdictions, as well as resources from the private sector (including chemical manufacturers) and voluntary organizations.

Examples of Level Three incidents include: • Incidents involving large-scale evacuations that may extend beyond jurisdictional boundaries. • Major leaks of compressed or liquefied gas cargo tanks or railroad tank cars caused by puncture or major structural damage. • Largescale or catastrophic releases of hazardous materials (e.g., radiation, biological agents) that would likely include a federal response.

As you can see the magnitude of these Level Two and Loa was a teenager at the time and attended this dance with his friend Lincoln Nielson. Although the Shivwits Dance Team photo was taken in Ivins, Utah, it’s likely that many of these people participated in the Sun Dance at Fish Lake including Walter George who is shown in the photo.

Three incidents requires far more resources for mitigation than a low population rural county has at hand; yet, the potential for such incidents is not necessarily correspondingly low. Many hazardous materials are trucked through rural areas, including ours, or traverse an area via rail. Other hazardous materials are used and stored locally, including pesticides and herbicides, propane, gasoline, chlorine, etc.

One aspect of toxic gases adding to their danger is that they are generally heavier than air and so may remain at a level where people are breathing the gas rather than it rising higher and dispersing in the atmosphere. Out of a list of 25 toxic gases that I found, 20 were heavier than air. Then there are the flammable liquids that can easily form a vapor with the potential to explode and burn such as gasoline and propane.

Businesses or other entities that store hazardous materials above certain quantities are required to file yearly reports that identify the type, quantity and location of materials, and an emergency contact number for the company. These are known as Tier 2 reports and are part of what’s called the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act. Unfortunately not one such report has been filed in Wayne County in the last 8 years. Not a good compliance record. Regulations can be burdensome, but there is a good reason for these particular ones. Emergency personnel need accurate information of what is around, how much of it, how it is stored, what kind of danger it might pose say in the event of a major earthquake.

Knowledge, training, and the right equipment are all required to help keep our first responders and the rest of us safe.

Reading is Good Fun with Moms & Tots

by maCK oetting

The Boys traveled down to Valley and took down the Buffalos 56 to 52. The Cats were running away with the game leading, going in the second half 39 to 24. The Buffalos owned the second half outscoring the Cats 28 to 17 and made a game of it. The Cats had another poor night at the free throw line missing 10 of their shots. Acey led all scorers with 21, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals. Kanyon had another good night with 18.

Friday night’s game ended up being the game of the year against the Bryce Valley Mustangs. Before the game I ran into Bart Palmer, a former BV coach and he said to be nice about this article and say that BV was ahead most of the game and lost in the last seconds. Well he almost got it right. It was all Mustangs for the first three quarters leading by as many of 12 in the fourth, when Ryker Hatch caught fire scoring four 3 pointers to bring the Cats close, and the Mustangs were outscored 25 to 11 to tie up the game at 58-58. The huge crowd was very vocal shouting for their teams. Well Bart again was almost right, but the Mustangs caught fire outscoring the Cats 8 to 2 in overtime. What a great game, the Cats will learn much from this loss and will come out stronger. Again they missed 10 free throws, any one of which would have given them the win. It is so nice to

play Bryce Valley and Piute, because of their fan base it makes the games fun. It also helps with the money brought in at the gate and concession stand. Can you believe it we only have one more home game and that is against the Escalante Moquis on February 9th. This week the Cats have two away games, on Feb. 1st at Diamond Ranch and Water Canyon on the 7th.

Region playoffs begin on Feb. 14, 15, and 16. Probably the region playoffs will be over in Cedar City, where all of our funds will go over there.

The Lady Cats also went down to Valley and played a game against the Buffalos that looked like a run away, with the Cats leading 15 to 2 in the first quarter. But for once this year the Cats played down to their competition, losing the second quarter 15 to 6 and taking into the half a 21 to 17 score. The second half was more of the same, but Mataya Barney had a great game scoring most of her 17 points to go along with her 13 rebounds with her great inside scoring.

The Cats ended up winning 53-46 in a rather ugly game.

Saturday’s game against Water Canyon was a wipeout and the score of 83 to 37 was not much of an indicator of how one sided the score was.

The Cats only played their starters in half of the game and the freshmen that played the fourth quarter only scored 6 points. Water Canyon had 7 players, most whom played in the JV game. Kapri got back on track with her scoring with 22 points, Brittney finished

with 19 and five more 3 pointers and Mataya Barney had 13 and she got her first 3 pointer ever and she had a great smile on her face with this feat. So far this year Kapri has 275 points, Brittney has 231 points and fifty-one 3 pointers for a career of 169 and moving up the ladder for most points scored in a career. The Girls only have two more games at home against Bryce Valley on Feb. 2nd and Valley on the 8th. They have two away games on Jan. 31st against Escalante and Piute on the 6th.

Region also starts on the 14, 15 and16th TBA. This weekend it is the wrestling region finals on Feb. 2 at another TBA.

Loa Elementary Succeds with STEM LOA - Friday, January 25th, was a STEM Activities Day at Loa Elementary School, and all classes engaged in projects aimed at increasing their skills in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. This is an ongoing month event where Loa Elementary dedicates a day for the students to participate in STEM activities and projects.

The results were impressive as all teachers & students embarked on immersive learning experiments and activities that demonstrated concepts in a hands-on, engaging way. For example, Mrs. Jackson’s Kindergarten class made use of toothpicks and marshmallows to build structures, conveying the principles of engineering.

Mrs. Brinkerhoff and Mrs. Potter’s First Grade classes combined to make bracelets that changed from white to dazzling colors when exposed to sunlight.

Mrs. Bradford’s Second Grade class used Styrofoam cups to build pyramids, then had a contest to determine who could build the sturdiest structure for supporting the weight of textbooks. In Miss Davis’ Second Grade class, the principles of insulation, heat, and cold were learned with a bag of shortening and a bowl of ice cold water. Third graders in Mrs. Barlow’s class mixed solutions of borax & water to learn how crystals are formed, among other projects. Mrs. Shields’ class of third graders went to the playground to learn whether things are pushed or pulled in a demonstration of force and motion. In the fourth grade, Mrs. Ekker’s students discovered the principles of rock formation by using, of all things, chocolate and M&Ms. The

Mrs. Bradford's second grade class built pyramids from styrofoam cups during STEM activities on January 25. fifth graders of Mrs. Torgerson made use of the school’s high-tech Legos to follow designs—building vehicles and other machines. Each of these activities and projects had a specific focus that revealed a basic principle of STEM. The day was a great success in engaging students with the firsthand experience and ex-

citement of learning about STEM via the result of their efforts both inside and outside the textbook. When you see the teachers, thank them for all the work they do to create this active learning environment.

Wills, Trusts, and More

The Insider

What Controls: The Will or “The Box”?

by Jeffery J. mCKenna To answer the above question, I must first tell you what I mean by “the box.”

When I say “the box,” I am referring to the beneficiary designation box found in many financial instruments. For example, life insurance policies, annuity contracts, IRAs (individual retirement accounts), and other retirement plans allow the owner to designate (usually in a box or line on the form agreement) who is to be the beneficiary or recipient of the proceeds upon the owner’s death.

In addition to the above categories of beneficiary designations, many bank accounts, investment accounts, stock certificates and CDs (certificates of deposit), allow for a POD (Pay On Death) beneficiary. As with the insurance, annuity and retirement account beneficiary designations, the designation of the POD beneficiary is usually done by inserting one or more names in a box or line on an account agreement.

Now that I have explained the question, what is the correct answer? If someone has designated a former spouse as the beneficiary on a life insurance policy or retirement plan, can a new will designating a new spouse as the beneficiary of all the individual’s assets supercede the earlier designation?

In other words, does the designation in the will supercede the designation in the box? The answer is no. In almost all cases, the will does not supercede the contractual designation.

Many people mistakenly believe that the will controls the distribution of all their assets and supercedes any earlier beneficiary designations. It is understandable that many people have this mistaken belief. First, a will has many formalities associated with it. A will generally has to have the signatures of at least two unrelated witnesses. An attorney normally prepares the will. It is usually notarized. Often much time and thought accompanies the signing of the will, as well as other formalities. On the other hand, the beneficiary designation is usually very simple. Usually, it involves nothing more than printing or typing a name in a box.

There have been many spouses and children very surprised to learn that although a loved one’s will was reviewed and updated the older beneficiary designations control.

Another matter to be considered with regard to beneficiary designations is that they are limited. If the beneficiary designation is just a line or box, there is no opportunity to describe how the proceeds should be used or who should receive the proceeds if one of the named beneficiaries predeceases the owner. It should be noted that if the beneficiary designated in the financial instrument has predeceased the owner and there is no surviving contingent beneficiary or if the named beneficiary is designated as the “estate,” the terms of the will or state statute governing the distribution of assets when there is no will will govern the distribution of the proceeds.

In conclusion, proper estate planning involves a thorough review of all assets and beneficiary designations. It is very important that beneficiary designations be coordinated with an individual’s estate plan.

Computer Planes

Detour

A woman in Little Rock, Arkansas, called a travel agent and said, "I want to book a flight to Pepsi-Cola on one of those computer planes." The agent thought for a moment and then responded: "Do you mean you want to fly to Pensacola on a commuter plane?"

Without hesitating the woman replied, "Yeah, whatever."

Thoughts on Acting

My wife and I were having a very hypothetical discussion: In the unlikely event that Hollywood made a movie based on our lives, we wondered what stars would play us.

"Who would you pick to portray you?" she asked me.

I thought about it for a minute, then answered, "George Clooney."

"In that case," she said, "I'll play myself."

Shower Thoughts

A woman was taking her time browsing through everything at a friend's yard sale, and said to her, "My husband is going to be very angry I stopped at a yard sale."

"I'm sure he'll understand when you tell him about all the bargains you found," her friend replied.

"Normally, yes," she said. "But he just broke his leg, and he's waiting for me to take him to the hospital to have it set."

Echo Canyon

While hiking in the mountains one day I came across a gorgeous gorge that I thought was an echo canyon.

I shouted, "Hello there." But the response sounded to me like, "Hello where?"

I tried again. "How do you do?"

A moment later the report came back sounding like, "How do I do what?"

Baffled and amused I decided to give it the ultimate test. "You're not really an echo canyon, are you?"

The response from the big ditch confirmed my suspicions.

"Brilliant deduction, Einstein."

The man said, "Well, to be honest with you, Doc, I don't deserve the best. What's the second best?"

FYI PanguItch

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Oh happy day! That storm last Monday was the big one of this century, between 10” and 12” of the beautiful white stuff fell on Panguitch. This was our 7th storm of the year and the best in many years. Oh there were so many great people clearing out their neighbor’s walk ways and driveways. Many thanks to John Orton for using his back hoe to clean out our drive way and side yard. I dug out our sidewalks and steps at 9:00 in the morning and again at 5:00 when the storm finally stopped, only to have the wind come and wipe out my shoveling. Almost all of the storms we have had were just pushing snow, this one you had to shovel it and it is a slow process. I just hope it just keeps coming.

How dry has it been the last 20 years in the west? A 97 year agreement on the water from the Colorado River demands that it deliver 5.2 trillion gallons of water to

seven states and Mexico each year. Because of the climate change the chance of it ever meeting that demand is fast fading. After 55 years the water in Lake Powell in unsustainable, it contains half the water it did in 2000. The level has dropped 100’ in that time and is now only 50 feet from the point where the dam will no longer produce hydropower. Southwest Utah has made progress in water conservation; it is still one of the largest per-capita water consumers in the nation.

They use even more than Las Vegas, with their tourists, golf courses and fountains.

After 35 days the President’s Government shutdown is finally over, for at least 3 weeks. He signed the same deal that the Senate presented before the 35 day shut down.

Then if he doesn’t get his medieval wall, he says he again will take great pride in shutting things down. It is pretty hard to fund a crisis when

there isn’t one. Remember the great caravan that was coming here from South America before the election, what ever happened to them? Most of those that were at the boarder waiting to seek asylum, long before those in the caravan even left their country.

Senator Romney who when he was running for President, declared that Russia was our number 1 enemy. Now he voted to remove the tariffs from a Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska's business. Mr. Deripaska has been implicated in interfering with our 2016 election. Why the change of mind Mr. Romney? The bill on the senate floor was to block the administration from lifting the sanctions on his business.

The news (SLT) says that 12 Undocumented immigrants were fired from Trump-owned golf clubs, in New York. The firings came about after immigrants in his New Jersey club came forward and said they had been working there for years, with documents furnished to them by the club.

Many of these folks had been working there for as much as 15 years.

The LDS Temple in St. George will be closed on November 4th for two years.

The edifice first opened in 1877 and will undergo extensive structural, mechanical, electrical, finish and plumbing work. It is scheduled to reopen sometime in 2022.

The St. George Temple was the first one completed in Utah. It was rededicated in November 1975 after another remodeling. The new Temple in Cedar City and the one in Las Vegas will take up the slack.

The Chinese New Year will be celebrated this year on February 5th. The Chinese calendar consists of both Gregorian and lunar-solar calendar system. It is the year of the Pig, according to Chinese zodiac. Maybe this years New Year’s party we should have pulled pork.

Six Tips to Finding Work- Life Balance Callie Ward, usu extension garfield County Sometimes life is crazy.

An excess of stress may create feelings of exhaustion and emotional burnout. These six helpful tips can help you balance your life and handle stress.

Are you feeling a bit out of balance? You’re not alone.

Balancing demands of work, family and the rest of life can be a challenge and create stress. Additionally, too little sleep, lack of exercise and infrequent personal time can add to stress. When stress is not managed well, individuals can become overwhelmed and experience emotional exhaustion, burnout or other negative feelings. Fortunately, there are ways to cope with work-life stress and aim toward a more healthy balance. Consider some of the following tips to find balance: Prioritize. Setting priorities will help in deciding how to best spend your time. Use a calendar and schedule the most important things that reflect your priorities first, such family activities or a date with a significant other. Discuss goals and schedules with family members and significant

others often so everyone is invested. Remember, there is no “right way” to prioritize, but rather you have to decide a balance that is comfortable for you and your family.

Be here now. In this age of technology it is easy to get distracted by things other than our priorities, especially when work or social media is just a click away. Taking a break from electronics and focusing on living fully in the moment, wherever you may be, will help to reduce stress.

Set realistic goals and expectations. Let’s be honest, as much as many of us would like to give everything to everyone all the time, it’s unrealistic and thinking that way will cause conflict and stress. So, instead, examine your priorities and adapt your goals and expectations to fit your current situation. If married or in a relationship, be sure to include your partner in this process and discuss the roles that each of you will take. Revise plans and goals that don’t work— achieving balance is an ongoing process.

Share the load. Some people try to reduce stress by tak-

ing control and doing everything themselves; but doing so can sometimes keep them from reaching their most important goals. Consider your support system and how others might be willing to help lighten the load. Remember, delegation is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Take care of yourself.

It can be challenging to eat healthy, exercise, and get enough sleep, let alone squeeze in a few minutes of “me” time, but taking care of yourself will help you in all areas of your life.

Make a goal to take at least 15 minutes of “me” time every day even if it’s to take a quick walk on a break at work, or to read a book. Remember you can also include family or friends.

Keep a sense of humor.

Humor can help to manage stress when things don’t work out as planned. Consider, “How will I think about this situation in a year from now?”

While there are many approaches to creating balance, what works for one individual may not work for another, and life challenges and possible solutions may change with time. Creating and maintain-

ing a balance in life is an ongoing process; if the current approach isn’t working, try something else. The balance may not always be perfect, but small efforts toward balance can still have a tremendous impact on life satisfaction.

to be 2 units of 15 members in each, and one member of each unit was to be a female. Her boss inquired if she knew of any girls at school who might be interested in flight training and of course they had their first volunteer! By fall she had completed her 35 hours of flight time and received her Private Pilot License, one of the first women in Utah to do so.

That fall, Florence went to Logan to attend school at Utah State Agricultural College.

After graduation from USAC,

she received notice about a program for Women’s Auxiliary Service Pilots or WASP’s. This was a unit for women pilots to assume non-combat flights, releasing male pilots for active combat duty. Over twenty-five thousand women applied to join, but only 1,830 were accepted and took the oath. Florence was accepted with instructions to report to Avenger Field in Sweetwater, TX for Class 44-W4 in September of 1944.

She recounts one particularly harrowing experience during her training. “One time after I took off the fog rolled in. We were to avoid flying in fog because you could become completely disoriented.

I was able to fly over one town to the next waiting for the fog to dissipate. Finally, there was a break in the fog and I hit the rudder to go into a spin to lose altitude. I was wearing heavy, fleece-lined boots and my boot caught between the two rudders. I needed my hands to steer the plane but was unable to get my foot free. The plane was spinning toward the ground. I knew I had to get my foot

free or I would crash, so I took both hands off the wheel and pulled with all my strength until the boot came out. I was about 50 feet off the ground when I got my hands back on the wheel.”

After her service in the WASP’s, Florence returned home to Panguitch where she cared for her parents, taught school and worked as a secretary. It was while working in the Garfield County Office of the Agricultural Adjustment Agency that she met Melvin Alvey. They were married in the Manti Temple in 1952 and moved to Escalante in 1955 where they raised their family of 3 children, Helen (Rick) Pruitt of Richfield, UT, Lucinda (Neuman) Duncan of Cedar City, UT, and Melvin Wayne (Siri) Alvey of Ketchikan, AK. They now have 19 grandchildren and 31 great-grandchildren.

Florence was always very active in her church and community, serving in many callings in both the Ward and Stake Relief Society. She was a 4-H leader for many years and there could be up to a dozen

girls in her kitchen at one time learning to cook or sew (and it was by the book!). She was a PTA President and was active and held many offices in DUP. At age 92, she was honored as the Grand Marshall in the 24th of July Parade in Escalante.

Always a hard worker, Florence believed that, “any job worth doing is worth doing well.” Visitors to her home never left without something – whether from the garden, orchard or her kitchen. She was an avid reader and she loved to create beautiful handwork – crocheting, knitting, hand quilting, netting, cutwork, needlepoint, oil painting and is probably best known for her beautiful tatting. Many dear friends throughout Escalante have received a beautiful tatted doily in appreciation for their love and kindness to her.

Florence was very accepting and loved to welcome

Many of those friends became lifelong as she continued nourishing those friendships through letter writing long after they had left.
