NEW YEAR’S BABY FINALLY ARRIVES AT GARFIELD MEMORIAL HOSPITAL

Despite nearly a month passing since New Year’s Day, Panguitch’s Garfield Memorial Hospital welcomed its first baby of 2012 Monday morning.

Logan Lee Elmer, was born January 30 at 8:53 a.m. in the hospital’s labor and delivery unit. Logan weighed 6 lbs. 4 oz. and was 18 ½ inches long. He was welcomed by his parents, Kayton and Tia. “We’re very excited to help the Elmer family celebrate the first baby born in our hospital this year,” said Alberto Vasquez, Garfield Memorial Hospital Administrator.

Jade, Logan’s older sister, is very excited about her new baby brother.

A number of generous community businesses donated gifts to Baby New Year 2012. Garfield Memorial Hospital, which is owned by Garfield County and managed

by Intermountain Healthcare, had 41 babies born at the hospital in 2011.

CREATING HEALTHY WATERSHEDS IS GOOD BUSINESS FOR EVERYONE

- BLM, Color Country District- THE BIG PICTURE The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in partnership with Utah’s Watershed Restoration Initiative (UWRI) recently completed the second phase of the South Canyon Watershed Restoration project near Panguitch, Utah.

Phase two, which began in the fall of 2011, was designed to restore 1900 acres of rangeland using mechanical equipment and was reseeded with desired grasses and forbs. Landscape projects like this are implemented to improve wildlife habitat, reduce the risk of wildfire to nearby communities, and increase water yield and quality in the Sevier River Drainage.

LOCAL ECONOMIC BENEFITS The South Canyon Watershed Restoration provided numerous benefits to the local economy of Panguitch and surrounding area. It employed 20 full-time individuals including contractors, sub-contractors, heavy machine operators, and oth-

PHS FBLA STUDENTS COMPETE IN RICHFIELD

er technical workers. Two of which were hired from the local community.

Employment with this project provided personnel with good wages and valuable experience for the duration of this four-to-six month contract.

By federal law, heavy equipment operators are required to be paid a minimum of $17.94 per hour.

Compared to the average hourly salary of $12.88 in Garfield County, this opportunity provided good wages (http://jobs.utah.gov/ jsp/wi/utalmis/industrydetail.do).

Not only is this project providing work for many people, it generates a lot of other business for the local economy through the purchase of thousands of dollars in fuel, mechanical parts and ser-

vices, food, and lodging expenses.

For example, Project Manager Shawn Peterson states that approximately 60 gallons of fuel is needed daily to operate each of nine machines for approximately 12 hours per day.

“Fuel is purchased locally, adding about $1,890 daily to the local economy from fuel alone, which amounts to $170,000 throughout the 90 days of this treatment contract.” .

Additionally, each machine that is utilized on this project is routinely serviced in the local area. Expenditures for replacement parts and repairs of the equipment provide significant revenue to the local auto parts stores and mechanic shops. In fact, national contracts are written to encourage contractors to support the local economy nearest to the project site. Cecil Swaggart of Swaggart En-

terprises and contractor for the project estimates that at least one out of the nine machines working on the project is in need of service daily.

Local, Utah based companies are always given an equal opportunity to be “awarded” contracts, but due to the various rangeland health project opportunities currently available this fall and winter, most of the local companies were already working to complete other treatments.

“Due to the BLM’s current contracting structure, we spend most of our money in the communities nearest to our work site. We pay rent, buy food, purchase fuel, and order equipment parts locally.” Cecil Swaggart, Swaggart Enterprises, Oregon ONLINE > Interested in seeing more treatments like this?

DONATIONS

I would like to thank the many people who donate countless hours as volunteers in our schools listening to students read or taking time to help them with their homework.

The education of a student is a community effort; it takes each one of us to show the importance of education to our children by taking an interest in their daily school activities.

Many schools in our communities have received financial donations from individuals.

In Panguitch Elementary, over $400 has been donated to the library to purchase books.

Recently, this same individual donated $1,000 to all of the District elementary school libraries. In Panguitch High the Garfield Education Foundation pays for books and registration for students to take EDNET classes. The Garfield Education Foundation also purchased $3,500 in text books and computers from the closed Silverado group. Many of the textbooks will be used in our current classrooms. The computers will be used in our computer labs in the District. The District will sell any textbooks we are currently not using in our curriculum. In Bryce Valley High School they received two anonymous donations. One was approximately $600; the second donation was more than enough to cover the cost to fix the marquee which was about $1,500. Escalante High School has received donations towards the purchase of athletic equipment in the past. Escalante Elementary receives donations from parents in the form of time and classroom supplies for their school. I would personally like to thank those in the community who donate their time and volunteer to help whether it is in the form of time or money.

On an additional note, in an effort to a make transparency between the schools and communities, the District Office has a working school board packet available on the District web page. If you log on to the District web page,(www.garfield.k12.ut.us ) under the school board tab you will notice February working board packet. This packet will include any public information relating to the upcoming school board meeting. Items may be added as we receive them in the office. If you would like to view this information you are welcome to do so.

EHS WINTER ATHLETICS

By Tori Lindsay and Kobbi Smith January 20th was the week of Escalante High School’s homecomeing. All week couples competed for homecoming royalty. The couples included Kayson Durfey and Rudi Montoya, Kolt Smith and Emily Singletary, Cody Dunton and Savannah Steed, Jesse Ahlstrom and Kinzi Stowe, Alex Christensen and Tori Lindsay, Jesse Barney and Lindsey Phillips, Brandon Nez and Kobbi Smith, Bret Brooks and Zoee Johnson, Kyler Nelson and Lindsey Coleman, Gus Torgersen and Eryn Keefe, Preston Alvey and Marina LeFevre, and Fabian Plancarte and Amanda Cardosa. Homecoming royalty was Bret Brooks and Zoee Johnson as 2nd attendants, Jesse Barney and Lindsey Phillips as 1st attendants, and Jesse Ahlstrom and Kinzi Stowe as homecoming king and queen. All week the couples dressed up as cartoon characters, ninjas, celebrity couples, and in their pajamas. The couples participated in all sorts of crazy activities, like making life-like rice crispy sculptures of each other, trying to catch falling ice cream in an ice cream cone held

in your mouth while lying on the ground, writing poems about each other, and digging around in pies for gummy worms. The homecoming game was played against Piute. The boys lost, but played a tough game.

This upcoming week the boys play at Wayne on the 7th, and the girls are preparing for region.

THANK YOU!!

I would just like to express my gratitude and appreciation to the Beaver Valley Hospice and especially thank Ramona Sorenson.

I would also like to thank the wonderful people of Escalante for your love, concern and willingness to help in any way possible during Jackie’s last few months of life.

We live in a great community.

Thank you, Larry C. Withers

ANTLER GATHERING COURSE NOW ONLINE Take the course at wildlife.utah.gov/shedantler

Late winter and early spring is the worst time of the year for elk, moose and especially deer in Utah.

Deep snow makes it hard for deer to move and find food. And cold temperatures sap the deers’ strength. By the time winter ends, deer are usually the weakest they’ll be all year.

Winter is also the time of year when male deer, elk and moose shed their antlers. The animals will be without antlers until spring, when they’ll start to grow a new set.

Gathering shed antlers Gathering antlers that drop off the heads of deer, elk and moose is an activity that’s grown in popularity across the country, including here in Utah. The challenge with shed-antler gathering is that it happens during the worst time of the year for the animals and the habitat the animals rely on in the winter.

“By the time winter ends, the animals are stressed,” says Mike Fowlks, Law Enforcement Section chief for the Division of Wildlife Resources.

“Also, the habitat the animals rely on in the winter is wet,” he says. “It’s easily damaged. Once the habi-

9TH ANNUAL DIVERSIFIED AGRICULTURE CONFERENCE February 22-24, 2012

tat is damaged, it can take years for it to recover.”

Fortunately, Fowlks says you can have fun gathering shed antlers without stressing the animals and damaging their habitat.

“A free course that’s available on our website will show you how,” he says.

Fowlks says you must complete the DWR’s Antler Gathering Ethics course if you want to gather shed antlers in Utah between Feb. 1 and April 15.

Free course The free course is available at wildlife.utah.gov/ shedantler. After you finish the course, make sure you print your certificate of completion before you take off to gather antlers.

“And make sure you carry your certificate with you,” Fowlks says. “By law, you must have your certificate

with you while you’re gathering shed antlers.”

If you have young children, and you’ve completed the course, your children don’t need to complete it— your certificate will cover your kids too.

Fowlks says if you complete the course, you can gather antlers across Utah.

“Please remember, though, that many of the state’s wildlife management areas are closed in the winter and the spring to protect wildlife,” he says.

You must complete the course if you want to gather shed antlers between Feb. 1 and April 15. If you wait until April 15 or later to gather antlers, you don’t need to complete the course.

For more information, call the nearest Division of Wildlife Resources office or the DWR’s Salt Lake City office at 801-538-4700.

tHe lAuGhiNg pOiNt!!

Every1Counts

By Cynthia Kimball In a university class I taught (and still teach) I had a panel of hope-based leaders and teachers present. They shared stories about their hope-based and fear-based experiences.

Students also were able to ask them questions. For today’s column, I’d like to share with you two of the educators responses --I’ll call them Dr. C and Dr. L.-on several different topics.

As you read their responses, think of how they may apply in other arenas other than the classroom whether that is business (profit or non), government, coaching a sports team or even running a ranch. Think not only how your organization can become more hopebased, but you as a leader, even you as an individual.

After all, according to Tiger (1995), “With hope, we become energized to do as much as we can to make a good life for ourselves and for others” (as cited in Frederickson, 2009, p. 44).

On culture, tone Dr. C: It’s not only the things you do as a leader, but it’s the culture that you create as the leader and knowing what’s going on around you…the bottom line is the culture you set is the tone of your classroom.

Dr. L: …you cannot do anything about their situation outside of school, but for 8 hours from 8 to 4, you have them in your class and you have the opportunity to make that the best eight hours those kids have experienced on that day and that’s what you’ve got to focus on and that’s what you have to keep in mind because if you blow it and you make those eight hours miserable then you’ve got a miserable day going for that kid…

On being hopeful, hopebased Dr. C: …I don’t want to spend much time with somebody when the first words out of their mouth is, “We can’t do it that way.”

What I rather have them say, and what I did with this student is I, if nothing else…”let’s see if we can…” …hope-based and leadership are what it’s all about and I don’t think you can have hope-based without the right kind of leadership… …the bottom line is I, I try to build hope for you guys by the way that I treat you and talk to you. …two topics we’ve talked about here and they go hand in hand, hope-based and leadership are what it’s all about and I don’t think you can have hope-based without the right kind of leadership and poor leadership possibly leads to fear based. …but you know, high school kids, and working with vocational students, it’s always hope-based, it has to be…

Dr. L: …and you have to realize just because someone told you at one point that you can’t doesn’t mean that’s correct… …and so that’s what we’re

HOPE-BASED ADVICE FOR ALL

here for, we’re here to help you understand, ‘yes, you can do this’ but, you have to make the choice to dig in and do the work and make it happen for yourself, but you can do it… …anytime they need a hope-based person who can give them enough hope they can counter act it and overcome it so I wouldn’t say it’s irreversible, but, you can certainly have a fearbased that sours you and convinces you, that you are not worthy of education and I’m seeing that now a lot…

On grades Dr. C: I tell them they have to work really hard to get an A because, you know, I force them to resubmit, resubmit until they’ve got it…I want them to learn it right…

Dr. L: I start with, “You all have an A until you prove me otherwise.” Like, “You start with an A; show me that you [can] maintain it.”

On finding strengths Dr. C: …she would look at each individual case and say, “As its own case,” with a positive attitude Dr. L: …we understand where the student’s coming from and then recognize what their talent is and then work from that strength… I think that’s really the key is finding that kernel that you know what that person’s good at, let’s build from that and then that makes a HUGE difference…

On knowing your constituents Dr. C: …what you have to do is know who you are working with and what the needs of that group is… …you have to understand that they’re lives are different than your life.

Dr. L: …knowing who your constituents are and understanding where they’re coming from… …and so you really have to keep in mind why they are and where they come from and what you need to do, as a classroom teacher, to keep them moving forward and if the kids are struggling and if they’re for some reason are not making it in your class then you have to come back

and say, “What do I need to do to meet your needs?” …I need to approach this child differently and not squelch him from the very start…

On never giving up Dr. C: There’s never ever, ever that you give up or that you allow a student to give up… “I think you can win em’ all; you just never quit, you never give up”…you never give up and I’ve done that with student after student after student I mean, they’ll self destruct in your face, but, you know, they’re the ones’ that are going to give up, I’m not going to give up.

Dr: L: And you never know…you never know when that one thing that you say will either destroy a person or…or turn around and boast them to the point where they go, “I really can do this” and so it really is an awesome responsibility and it’s something we really need to think about, and one of the things I think about when I’m working with students… …the key is helping folks find out, “ What is it that drives you” “What’s that passion and that interest that you have?” and then how to tweak that into what you’re going to study to make that degree finishable and doable and sometimes you have to tweak a whole lot because sometimes what they’re interested in doesn’t produce a serviceable document and until you’ve thought about how to rehash it and rework it and research it, but it’s that kernel of interest and you build that kernel into something and then when you see them finish the product you think, “That’s exactly what we were doing, that’s why we’re here and that’s what we’re working on” so that’s a critical piece…

Car Problems

Sandra was out driving her car and while stopped at a red light, the car just died. It was a busy intersection, and the traffic behind her starting growing.

The guy in the car directly behind her started honking his horn continuously as Sandra continued to try getting the car to start up again.

Finally Sandra got out of her car and approached the guy in the car behind her.

“I can’t seem to get my car started,” Sandra said, smiling. “Would you be a sweetheart and go and see if you can get it started for me. I’ll stay here in your car and lean on the horn for you.”

Bank Loan

Wanting to borrow some money to make a six-month tour of Europe, a man went to the bank where he had done business for years.

The bank refused the loan.

He went to another bank and obtained the loan without any difficulty. Then he bought a five pound fish, had it wrapped, and put it in his safe deposit box at the first bank as he joyfully left for his six-month vacation.

Airline Safety Talk

An airline stewardess was giving the standard safety briefing to the passengers. She had just finished saying “In the event of a water landing, your seat cushion may be used as a flotation device,” when a man remarked, “Hey! If the plane can’t fly, why should I believe the seat can float?”

Truck Driver

There was a man driving down the road behind an 18 wheeler, at every stoplight the trucker would get out of the cab, run back and bang on the trailer door. After seeing this at several intersections in a row the motorist followed him until he pulled into a parking lot.

When they both had come to a stop the truck driver once again jumped out and started banging on the trailer door.

The motorist went up to him and said, “I don’t mean to be nosey but why do you keep banging on that door?”

To which the trucker replied, “Sorry, can’t talk now, I have 20 tons of canaries and a 10 ton limit, I have to keep half of them in the air all the time!”

FYI PANGUITCH By: Mack Oetting ~ E-mail: mackoetting @gmail.com How is your New Years resolution going? If it started out to be an exercise program, that is really good! Walking it seems for seniors is the most popular exercise, 60% of those over 60 that do exercise, this is their choice. We are trying to get some exercise equipment down at the Senior Citizens Center, so if you have any good equipment that’s collecting cob webs (treadmills, bikes or anything that can get ones heart rate up) it would be appreciated, I would be glad to come by and pick it up, (676-2418).

Sheriff Dan Perkins put on a very fine training session out at Ebenezer’s last Saturday on teenage killers.

The training was well attended be the Sheriffs, Park Rangers, EMTs Firefighters and Search and Rescue. It was mostly on Columbine type situations and the destruction one or two kids can do. Last week there was a very similar incident up in the SLC area. These two teens though they were smarter than those at Columbine, even going to Colorado to interview the Principal, fortunately they told their friends about their plan. The thing that I felt so strongly about was the pornography bit, it dealt with murder and bathing in the blood, this movie was only R rated, “SICK”. I can’t say enough about the great job that Sheriff Perkins is doing getting training for the volunteers.

It is that time again, elections are just around the corner and the Caucasus will be held next month.

The Democrats will be on March 13 and Republicans will have theirs on the

15th. Utah has a new Congressman, that makes 4 for now, due to the population growth in the State. The powers have divided up the State, so we will have someone new in our area.

There seems to be a lot of interest from the St. George area for this position. So take an interest and get involved, if you don’t, don’t complain about who is your representative. Also on the State side Senator Hatch’s spot is up and he has held that office for thirty some years.

Looking for something to do on the Presidents Holidays? The annual Bryce Canyon Winter Festival will be held at Ruby’s Inn and it will be bustling with activities. The fun start on February 18th and runs through the 20th. There will be basic Yoga in the morning, kayaking demos at the pool at Ruby’s. Crafts for kids, snowshoe tours on Sat. and Sun. at 10am, ski clinics, photo workshops, photo contests, and watercolor classes.

Ms Caine FBLA club went to Regions at Snow College for competition and came away with a lot of medals. Boy do these Kids look sharp in their business suits; you would hire them on the spot.

Rob Veater and his wife Lori have announced their retirement from grooming the Cemetery. They have been doing a splendid job all these years; it is a lot of work. They weed whack around each head stone and mow the rest of the grounds. Most cemeteries have done away with above ground headstones, so they can be mowed over. Thank you to Rob and Lori for doing such a good job on our families final resting places.

Well the Super Bowl has come and gone and it turned out to be a very good game.

I though some of advertisements were very funny and wonder if my favorite won any prizes. The NBA is the only game in town, I don’t believe that these players have ever had to work so hard, they play 66 games in 90 days; many of games are played three nights in a row.

How about those Jazz, they beat up on the Lakers?

Today’s Fast was to bring badly needed moisture to our area, the weather report didn’t look good, with good weather all week, but guess what lf you looked out side we got snow!

Mark Twain said the two most important days in your life, is when you are born and the day that you decide what to do with it.

BRYCE VALLEY AREA NEWS

Charlie Francisco traveled with Stan and Nellie Rae Mecham to Hurricane to attend the funeral for Vee “Gabby” Smith. Then Charlie and Eva Dean went to Hurricane to visit Charlie’s sister, Lola Gibson who has been ill and they wanted to check out how she was doing. From there they went on down to St. George to see their very first greatgrandson, Lincoln Cole Springer and of course to cuddle with him for awhile.

Eva Dean says he is just the cutest ever. Lincoln is the son of Justin and Sheri Ann Springer. Grandparents are Sharon and Robin Griffin of Monroe. The Francisco’s spent Sunday playing with the baby and then came back home late Sunday night. How fun.

On another day the spent the day in Panguitch getting Charlie’s skin cancer burned off. Glad that is over with.

Myra Platt, daughter of Nathan and Lori Platt, was baptized by her brother, Adam Platt. She was confirmed by her father, Nathan. Shayd Roberts was advanced to a Deacon and graduated from Primary.

He is the son of Dave and Stephanie Roberts.

We send condolences out to the family of Mae Chynoweth who passed away on Sunday. She was one of the kindest and most loving ladies in Tropic for years. She had moved to St. George to be near her family and was missed here in Tropic. She was always thinking of someone else and had such a loving heart. We want the family to know they are in our prayers and thoughts.

SheRon Linford is getting married on Saturday and we wish her the very best to her and Roger. They will be getting married in the old Henrieville school house which is located on the corner of the town park and is now being used as the Town Hall. Congratulations to you SheRon and Roger.

We wish you the very best.

Well there is a lot of construction going on in front of our house as WaLon and Kami Brinkerhoff are putting up cabins. When they cut down my dead trees I felt exposed because there was nothing in front. Now we will have buildings and trees and maybe some of our privacy back. It is happening in front of our house because we face south and the street is to the west. Go figure.

I would like to thank the wonderful ladies who came out to help with the quilt for my grandson, Joseph who is getting married on the 17th of February. Anita Fletcher, Ramona Morreale, Iris Burr, Glenna Fletcher and an no named lady helped to finish it up in two hours and a half.

It is beautiful. Can’t wait to give it to them.

A lot of the loyal folks traveled down to Las Vegas to attend the George Strait Concert. Bet that was a lot of fun. He is great.

Well the news seems to be scarce. To take a page from M. Haws of Escalante I hate to see my email box so empty. Please call or email your news to me so I can print it.

If someone else wants to be the reporter just let me know I will gladly turn the reigns over to you. Have a great week and be safe. Thanks to those who do call. VS. HOOFBEATS

by Sam Cloud Salutations unto all once again. Before I begin my customary pretense of standard journalization, I must offer apologies for my apparent negligence over the past few weeks. I am utterly

convinced that everyone is just terribly anxious to read my article each week, and I can imagine the horrid disappointment at realizing that the article in question wasn’t actually there. But I digress from my digression. Let’s just say that I’m sorry and move on before I accidentally submit to even more sarcastic inclinations.

Homecoming week has come and gone, to the great joy and sorrow of my fellow students. The king contest was as ridiculous as expected, though the talents were marginally more respectable this year. Nobody stripped to their underwear or dressed like a lady this year, something that we are eternally grateful for. The victorious King was none other than sophomore Tyler Hansen, a brave soul who probably broke school records by being one of the few people ever to win the contest with a talent that was slightly respectable.

The rest of homecoming continued normally, with the dress-up days and the pep assemblies and the major Home Games (which we dominated). All of the senior-related stuff was taken care of without too much hassle, and we managed to get through the week without any major incidents.

The winter athletics are starting to wrap up, though we still have some major events yet to get through.

Wrestling has been busy lately, and they are going to get even busier still as they get ready for the region and state wrestling meets during the next two weeks.

The girl’s basketball season is also almost over.

Their region tournament is actually scheduled for today and tomorrow. Provided all goes well there, they will continue into the State Tournament sometime next week.

The boy’s basketball team has a little longer to go than the girls. The last Home Game of the year is on Tuesday, as we duke out our last duel with rival Panguitch.

They have one more game at Wayne before facing off in the Region Tournament in two weeks.

Till next week--or the next--or the next. Actually, I’m just going to say later.

‘Till then.

WRESTLING

by Carlon Johnson This week our team had a duel in Panguitch. We had some great matches.

We hope to be able to have some home duels soon and have Panguitch and other schools come to our High School. We are grateful to Panguitch High School for a good duel. This week we goto Kanab High School for our final duel of the season.

Then this weekend is Region Wrestles in Monticello.

Good Luck Boys.

GIRL’S BASKETBALL

by Vicki D. Syrett It was Homecoming this week at Bryce Valley High School and the girls Basketball team went right on ahead and won their game against Milford. On Wednesday the girls played against Wayne and won that game as well. Way to go girls and we wish you the best of luck at Region next week. At the Homecoming Game the Senior girls were honored. They were Alexis Tebbs and Sydney Cornforth who have done a great job this season. They will be missed next year but a good team is coming up for the next years games.

The 7th and 8th grade girls basketball teams have been busy playing games even though the season is yet to

begin for them. They went to Milford and lost their game by two points but they worked hard. Sometimes they play combined 7th and 8th grade games and other times they play single grade games. Depends on who they are playing against.

BOYS BASKETBALL

by Vicki D. Syrett The boys played Valley this week and won their game. It was also the Homecoming game and all three teams won their games - Freshman, JV, and Varsity.

Fishlake NF Completes Adjustments to Travel Plan

The Fishlake National Forest recently completed a project that took a look at the existing Travel Management Plan, and made adjustments to the designation of some roads and trails across the Forest.

Using information gathered from a review of the Motorized Vehicle Use Map, on-the-ground observation and verification by employees, and comments from user groups, communities and individuals, Forest personnel were able to make adjustments to the routes. The finished product is a Supplemental Information Report (SIR) that identifies these adjustments. The report can be found by going to the Fishlake National Forest web site at: http://bit.ly/szClq0, or by visiting the Fishlake National Forest Supervisors Office at 115 East 900 North, Richfield, UT. This project allowed the Forest to correct previous mapping errors, improve the motorized recreation experience, and better protect natural resources. As an example, in response to input from user groups and communities, changes were made to improve access for off-highway vehicles 60 inches wide or less, commonly referred to as side-by-sides, or HUVs. This provides more “loop” rides and also links to communities across the Forest.

Additionally, field verification of routes found that some of the trails and roads that were on the Travel Maps either didn’t exist on the ground, were causing resource damage, or were damaged from flooding beyond repair, and therefore will be eliminated from the system.

A few routes that are not on the maps will be added.

The report shows that, Forest-wide, there’s a net increase of .05 miles of roads and a decrease of 3.3 miles of trails.

The Supplemental Information Report was prepared to disclose adjustments made to the Fishlake National Forest Off-Highway Vehicle Route Designation Project Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) as outlined in the Implementation Plan, p. 216-236 of Appendix B.

Unbeknownst to most Torrey Water users, last August the Torrey Town Council took another bold step to seek Community Impact Board (CIB) funding in an effort to continue to improve and protect the Torrey Town water system for future growth, and provide quality service to our users.

On February 2nd the Community Impact Board (CIB) finalized a funding package for Torrey Town to continue water system improvement projects to the tune of $1,600,000.00 ($1,300,000.00 as a grant and $300,000.00 as a 0% loan for 20 years). In the coming months Torrey Town, as well as surrounding area residents can expect to see increased construction related activity. Your patience during this continued water system improvement process would be appreciated. Comments, concerns and complaints can be directed to your local clergy for further consideration.

Also on February 2nd, the Torrey Town Planning and Zoning Committee held a public hearing at the DUP building to discuss the ever-contentious subject of annexation.

Those for and against annexation were given ample opportunity to voice their concerns. In most situations of this sort, the supporters in attendance are the minority. However In a final show of hands it became clear that the majority was undecided.

Not so surprising, there always seems to be at least a few in every crowd that sees black when everyone else sees white. The best statement of the evening came from an out of town resident when she said, “I have good insurance, and I have no need for local emergency services”.

(My guess would be if her insurance agent were in attendance she would soon have no insurance.)

Much to joy of the nervous, presently elected officials, and local volunteers of the Torrey Town Planning and Zoning Committee, no acts of violence were encountered. (Although outside of earshot some were inferred.) Amateur video of the meeting, complete with commentary and rising Torrey area celebrities, will most likely find their way onto “youtube” within the week.

To the dismay of some local outdoors snow enthusiasts (and propane suppliers) the lack of winter storms have not produced much mountain precipitation or winter-like conditions in Southern Utah. Mild January temperatures in the Torrey area have many local residents prepping their property for spring, for lack of anything better to do, while others could care less as long as they have a decent TV signal.

As an act of good will, Torrey Town will be offering 35 shares of Sand Creek irrigation water for rent at the cost of $50.00 per share, on a first-come, first-served basis.

Contact Paula Pace at the Torrey Town Office (435) -425 3600 on Wednesday and Thursdays for more details and information.

Construction continues on the Wal-Mart sized building on the west side of Torrey. As is always the case at the post office and other public gathering places, discussion swirls stronger than March winds about the mammoth block building’s intended use, and un-substantiated rumors often spread as easily as Jiffy peanut butter on “just out of the oven” homemade bread. Some local un-named sources hopefully proclaim that the big block building on the outskirts of Torrey Town may soon be the new home for a mechanical bucking bull. Other skeptics claim that the bucking bull presumption is just a lot of bull. Stay tuned for more “bull” related rumors and updates.

REVIEW YOUR ESTATE PLAN

Significant family changes always signal the need to review and revise your estate plan. There are numerous reasons to update your estate plan. Clients often overlook changes in their life which necessitate changes to their Estate Plan. The following are 10 instances when your plan should be reviewed and updated: 1. Marriage.

2. The birth or death of a child.

3. A significant change in the value/makeup of your Estate.

4. Divorce.

5. Relocation to a different state.

6. Changes in family relationships.

7. Changes in the law.

8. Changes in professional or business status and/or relationships.

9. Death of a spouse.

10. Death or incapacity of individuals named as fiduciaries in your current plan.

You should review your plan on an annual basis to consider if any of the above events have occurred. If you

are not sure whether these or other events require updating your plan, call your Estate Planning attorney to discuss your situation.

State and federal legislatures have become very active in recent years in changing the laws regarding estate planning, estate administration, and estate and income taxation. This trend is expected to continue. Because of this and also because you may have changes in your financial and/or family circumstances, it is recommended that a thorough review be made of your estate plan by an attorney when these changes occur, or at least every three to five years.

A will can be changed or amended with a codicil, a document executed with the same formality as the will itself. It is not always necessary to completely redraft the old will to make minor changes. The codicil must be in writing, signed by the testator, and witnessed by at least two disinterested parties. You cannot amend

a will simply by writing in the margin or crossing out particular provisions. A will may be revoked by making out a new will that expressly revokes the former one, or by completely destroying the original will.

Changes to a trust may be made by restating the trust, or by simply amending it, depending on the circumstances.

Estate planning review is yet another way to protect your assets. It ensures that your wishes are carried out and that your heirs are protected from paying unnecessary taxes and administration costs upon your death.

ESCALANTE NEWS

Marlene Haws Ph: 826-4859 • marleneh@color-country.net Well, what do you suppose the groundhog decided to do this year? He’s kinda like Santa Clause he has to cover a lot of territory before he can decide what the weather is going to be like for the next six weeks!

Friends and family gathered together in the Escalante Second Ward last Sunday for the blessing of little Dextin Gene Ness.

Son of Quintin and Chelsie Ness. Three great grandmothers were in attendance.

Carrie Griffin, Gloria Gracie, both of Escalante and LaKaye Quilter, Henrieville. Grandparents are Gene and Tenisa Quilter, Escalante, and Boyd and LaNell Cottam, Cedar City.

Grandpa Gene had the honor of blessing the little boy.

The Second Ward Relief Society held their Visiting Teachers Conference that same afternoon under the direction of Relief Society President, Sabrina Hughes. Lorie Torgersen, daughter of Alan and Melanie Torgersen, sang a beautiful song. Apparently her first debut and it was great!

Don’t stop now, Lorie, it gets easier.

The First Ward Relief Society had their Conference scheduled for this past Sunday, Feb. 5, under the direction of R. S. President, Lori Beebe.

Congratulations to Mark and Jarell Anderson who have a new little baby girl.

Her name will be Adelle.

Lisa Dawn Cooper was home on the weekend to visit with her mom and Dad, Terry Cooper and Sandra Porter. She brought school friends home with her from Cedar City where they are all attending SUU. Lane and Geraldine Liston went to St. George and were met there by Ron and Linda Mecham from Las Vegas. They were able to visit their cousins, Vernon and Peggy Roundy, who are spending some time there at their winter home.

Apparently Jim and Jolyn Spencer and Roma and Ken Clark are spending time at their homes there also and get together periodically.

Sounds like fun to me!

Eve Marsh has been in Salt Lake for the funeral of a close relative. On a happier note, she will be able to help Sharon Dale celebrate his birthday when she gets back home!

Rick and Helen Pruitt came from Richfield to spend the weekend with Helen’s mom, Florence Alvey.

Bill and Bev Kuhns have been in California visiting with family members.

Probably doing a little more celebrating for their 61st wedding anniversary too.

Margie Spencer took another ride to the hospital, in the ambulance. We hope she is doing much better by now.

When Jerry and Sherree Roundy had their family here for Christmas, their grandson, Cameron Alvey, brought his future in-laws with him. They had a good visit, toured the Heritage Center site, etc. and mention was made of the TV that was stolen from the cabin last Fall. A few days after everyone left Jerry had a brand new TV delivered to his house. It was from the future in-laws stating that it was a gift to replace the one that had been stolen from the cabin last Fall. What generous people! Totally different

from the ones who took the other one for their own selfish purposes.

Richard Costigan has written again to give us a schedule at the Visitors Center in Red Canyon. It opens April 6, Easter Weekend. 9 A.M. to 6 P. M. weekends, Friday – Monday until May 1, then daily 9 -6 and will remain open until October. He says, “A good rule of thumb is…if the flag is up we are open, if the flag is upside down call 911 and report it and keep driving…”

Tyler and Lisa Lyman are happy to announce the marriage of their daughter, Jennifer, to Todd Karl Goodrich. Todd’s parents are Lee and Julie Goodrich.

The couple was married in St. George on Saturday, the fourth of February, 2012.

The Lyman’s and grandma, Rolain Alvey, all went down to help celebrate the happy occasion. Congratulations to them. We wish them the very best!

Some of us were introduced to the new Forest Service law enforcement officer when we gathered for a pop break at Subway.

His name is Matt Jemmette.

He said today that this is a pretty quiet time of year for him. No camping on the mountain or anything like that yet! He had better enjoy it while he can. But he acts like the type that won’t be that hard to get along with so that’s good. Nice guy.

I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to get some details about the High School “Homecoming.” But my sources out there have quit me, I guess. All I know is that McKinzi Stowe was the homecoming queen and Jesse Ahlstrom was the king. Couples who were competing for this honor had to dress up as “famous couples” and be voted on.

They had a dance after the basketball game, and I’m sure they did other fun things, but don’t ask me what they were. Sorry!

providing education and patient services. We offer a wide variety of programs and services in support of our mission: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkins desease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

LLS helped us organize this event; we put boxes in each classroom and collected the change each week. We also participated in activities such as chucking change at the teachers.

Congratulations to Mrs. Robertson’s first hour class

on winning the competition, as they raised over $200 alone. Over this three week period we raised over $600.

This was a great turnout for only 150 students, $600 exceeded our expectations.

I would like to thank Wayne High School’s student body, teachers, parents, and community members who helped out and donated to this worthy cause. Someday we will fine a cure!

Thanks Again.

OBITUARIES Mae Pollock Chynoweth

Mae Chynoweth was surrounded by her family as she peacefully passed away on Sunday, February 5, 2012 at the Intermountain Medical Center in Salt Lake City. Mae was born in Tropic, Utah March 23, 1924 to Sam and Emily Pollock. Mae attended Tropic High School where she met her eternal sweetheart, Jack R Chynoweth. They were married June 24, 1942 in the Salt Lake City Temple. They were blessed with four children who she loved and adored.

Mae was a classy lady who loved life. She had a wonderful gift to help others and used her creativity to inspire the lives of others through her cooking and sewing skills. Mae was particular in canning, food storage and gardening. She was very meticulous in her appearance and home. Mae and Jack were generous, opened their home and hearts to many. She was a wonderful cook, seamstress, homemaker, and would not let anyone leave without conversation, hugs, and a loaf of bread or other goodies from her kitchen. She enjoyed being with Jack working cattle on the ranch, assisting in the establishment of their lifelong dream.

Mae was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and lived an exemplary life. Throughout the years, she had many callings and served in the Saint George Temple. Mae and Jack were called to serve an LDS Mission in 1989 to the St. Louis Missouri Mission. Due to Jack’s unexpected inner ear tumor they were caused to abort the mission and return home.

Mother made a lasting impression and will be remembered by many.

She is survived by her children: Jack Evan (Carolyn) Chynoweth, Deanna (Scott) Linford, Kristine (Jim) Milne, Randi (Bob) Ott; 26 grandchildren, 59 great-grandchildren, 1 great-great grandchild; and sister, Erma Wintch; along with many nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her husband; parents; brothers, ILan, Herman, Afton, Lamoine; sisters, Virginia, Nina, Alice, and Verdean.

Funeral services will be held Saturday, February 11, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. at the Tropic Ward LDS Chapel, Tropic, UT. There will be a viewing Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. prior to services at the Chapel. Interment will take place in the Tropic Cemetery.

Many thanks to so many special friends, neighbors, and the owners and staff of Beehive Homes, for their tender love and care. Thanks to the Tropic Ward Bishopric and Relief Society for your compassionate services.

Arrangements are made under the direction of Spilsbury Mortuary, (435) 673-2454.

Friends may sign her guestbook at www.spilsburymortuary.com.

END THE CHORE WAR When it comes to household chores, men and women don’t always see eye to eye.

In fact, the second annual Scrubbing Bubbles Dirty Work Index survey found that 58 percent of women say it’s their job to clean, and a quarter (25 percent) of all women feel as if they are the cleaning leader in their homes.

In addition, more than half of women confided that they want more help around the house from their partner or spouse, but 38 percent don’t trust them to meet their standards of cleanliness.

Today’s families often have hectic schedules, making it even more important to approach household chores as a team. That’s why Scrubbing Bubbles has partnered with John Gray, best-selling author of “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.” Together, they will help couples engage in a healthy discussion to help resolve the age-old household chore debate.

How couples deal with household chores either strengthens the partnership or creates a divide. Gray offers this advice for creating the best atmosphere at home: —Define the roles. It’s important to identify all the household chores and discuss who will have ownership of each.

—Discuss expectations.

Since the survey showed that women don’t trust men to meet their standards of clean, Gray recommends that women actually show men how they want the house cleaned and that couples discuss what clean means to each of them.

—Look for time-saving cleaning tools. Stock your

These products make the tough tasks easier so anyone in the family can help clean.

—Remember to say thank you. Whether or not the bathroom shines the way you want, don’t forget to say thank you for the effort.

One simple tool you can use to minimize friction over chores? A checklist.

For each room of the house, write down what tasks need to be completed and review it with your clean team so everyone knows exactly what’s expected. This sample checklist for bathroom chores can help you get started.

Light-Duty Checklist —Let in some fresh air.

Open the door or a window

to air out the room and reduce humidity.

—Check the toilet paper supply. Don’t get caught with an empty roll.

—Feed the hamper. Toss dirty clothes and towels into a hamper and hang fresh towels.

—Clean the soft goods.

Launder curtains, rugs and cloth shower curtains according to the care instructions. After washing a cloth shower curtain, hang it immediately and let it air-dry to prevent wrinkles.

—Restock supplies. In addition to refilling your cleaning supplies, check your stash of light bulbs, cotton balls and guest towels. Organize and store these items in sturdy containers.

ESCALANTE ELEMENTARY CELEBRATES CHINESE NEW YEAR

As a year-long class theme, Beth Christensen’s 3rd and 4th graders have been studying China. Using that theme, they have learned research and writing skills as they create their own books. To add to that experience of learning about another country, they celebrated the Chinese New Year. With the help of high school teacher Stacy Davis, they decorated lanterns for their Chinese feast. They made their own sushi handrolls and ate spicy Asian noodles with chopsticks and were given “lucky money”. With Ms. Davis’ Chinese dragon, they were even able to participate in the Dragon Dance. If you have the chance to walk the halls of EES, you will notice art work inspired by Chinese culture and hear common expressions of please, thank you, and hello spoken in Mandarin.
