FISHING IS HEATING UP NEAR THE SHORE

If you like to catch trout from the shore, start paying attention to Utah’s fishing reports—some of the best shore fishing of the year is about to begin.

Ice is starting to pull away from the shore at midelevation waters around the state. As the ice pulls away, the sun hits the shallow water near the shore.

If it doesn’t get cloudy or windy, the sun can warm the water fast.

As the water warms, trout and other cold water fish move into the shallow water in search of food. And these fish are hungry—it’s been awhile since they’ve had a decent meal.

“At many of the state’s waters, spring is the best time to fish from the shore,” says Roger Wilson, Aquatic Section chief for the Division of Wildlife Resources.

“It’s a great time to take your kids fishing. They can catch a bunch of fish using simple techniques.”

Usually lasts one to two weeks If the sun comes out and the wind doesn’t blow much, fishing during “ice off” can stay fast and furious for one to two weeks.

Then, after a couple of weeks, the ice recedes even farther from the shore. As the ice recedes, water in other parts of the reservoir or lake starts to warm up too. And the wind starts to mix water on the bottom of lake or reservoir with water on the top.

“When those things happen,” Wilson says, “the trout start to disperse and move away from the shore.”

Your ice-off fishing experience doesn’t need to last only a week or two, though—if you stay updated on which waters are starting to open, and you’re willing to travel a bit, you can extend your ice-off fishing experience into May. Wilson says lower and mid-elevation waters will

THANK YOU On behalf of the Steve Pollock family we want to extend our heartfelt thanks and gratitude for the amazing support that was shown to us over this past year. We are so fortunate to live in such a wonderful place and surrounded by wonderful people who are so thoughtful and caring. The visits, cards, flowers, money, and food were very much appreciated. Our burden was made lighter by all of you.

open first, followed by waters at higher elevations. “Depending on which waters you like to fish,” he says, “ice off will start anywhere from mid March to mid May.” Staying updated You can stay updated on which waters in Utah are experiencing ice off by viewing fishing Twitter updates on the Division’s fishing hotspots Web page.

“Also,” Wilson says, “pay attention to what the anglers around you are doing. If they’re catching fish with a certain lure or bait, and you have that same lure or bait, put it on your line and start using it.”

Be patient During ice-off, Wilson says trout often group together in schools and cruise the shoreline. For that reason, it’s important to be patient.

“You have to be patient in the spring,” Wilson says.

“You can sit for awhile with no action, and then—all of the sudden—it’s ‘pop, pop, pop’ as trout that are moving through the area hit your bait or lure.”

Tips for success Wilson provides the following tips for success: Bait PowerBait, worms and nightcrawlers are excellent baits to use during ice off.

Wilson recommends placing a large sinker on your line, a foot or two above your bait, and then casting your bait and letting it float just off the bottom of the water you’re fishing.

Lures and flies If you decide to use a lure or a fly, try one that imitates a leech. Dark-colored tube jigs and grubs are excellent lures to try. For fly anglers, dark wooly buggers are the ticket.

Scent Wilson suggests coating your lure with Smelly Jelly or another type of scent.

Placing a nightcrawler or a piece of cut bait on your lure’s hook is another great idea. “This is especially important if you’re fishing a plastic lure,” he says.

“Even if a fish has already struck your lure, if the lure has some scent on it, there’s a good chance the fish will strike it again.”

WAYNE COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER TOP IN THE NATION

Wayne Community Health Center (WCHC) located in Bicknell, Utah, has been selected as one of seven entities nationwide

by HRSA’s Pharmacy Services Support Center to be a leading practice site for the 340B program. As a Peer to Peer mentor WCHC joins the ranks of 6 other organizations selected in 2012 and 11 sites in 2011 for a combined total of 18 total sites. Currently there are more than 17,000 entities that are registered through HRSA’s and the Office of Pharmacy Affairs website. . The 340B program was designed to help provide access to health care and medications for those that are underserved or underinsured.

This recognition comes from excellence in four cornerstone areas of clinically

and cost effective pharmacy services. These being: Providing access to affordable medications, efficient business practices, outcomes driven clinical programs, and quality assurance programs. The Peer-to-Peer program is intended to provide a practical example of excellence in the 340B integrity and quality that will serve as a resource for other entities wishing to raise the standard of their 340B practices. In addition, the Peer-to-Peer program also focuses on new practitioner development. As student pharmacists are exposed to the 340B and safety net environment, the Peer-to-Peer program will help train the next generation of safety net pharmacists.

Donavan Smith RPh and Shirley Morrill CPhT , members of the WCHC

pharmacy had the opportunity to travel to New Orleans where they received additional 4 days of training from the Office of Pharmacy affairs, PSSC and Apexus 340B Prime Vendor representatives. At the end of the 4 days of training they officially graduated and received certificates from the Apexus 340B University.

While in New Orleans they had the opportunity to participate in representing the 340B program, and PSSC at the national American Pharmacists Association conference.

HRSA through a contractual relationship with the American Pharmaceutical Association joined together to create the Pharmacy Services Support Center (PSSC). The PSSC serves as the primary access resource for 340B pharmacy program.

Wilson says casting your bait onto the ice, and then reeling it so it falls into the water next to the edge of the ice, is a good spot to place your bait.

The edge of the ice is also an excellent spot to place your lure before you start retrieving it.

FCCLA

CHANGING LIVES AND COMMUNITIES KAMBREE JOSIE, Panguitch High School

You might ask, “What is FCCLA?” FCCLA stands for Family, Career and Community Leaders of America. It is an amazing national student organization that helps students become leaders and address important personal, family, work, and societal issues through Family and Consumer Sciences education, or as determined by the state department of education. FCCLA has more than 190,000 members and nearly 6,500 chapters from 50 state associations, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

Right here in our rural areas students are participating in projects that are changing lives and communities. Students from Bryce Valley High and Panguitch High are involved in a myriad of activities that will benefit not only them, but their neighbors and others throughout the world. For

example, “Running Faith” is a Bryce Valley Chapter service project aimed at collecting shoes for those who are in need of them. Or, there is Janette Pollock’s project of collecting gently used prom dresses for those who would like to rent a dress or may not otherwise be able to purchase one.

Check out her Facebook page if you are interested in donating or buying a dress.

A total of 36 students from Bryce Valley High School will be participating in the State FCCLA competition.

This Chapter also has the honor of having a State Officer in their group. Dawson Johnson serves on the state level as Vice President of STAR events.

The Panguitch High Chapter has an array of projects also; ranging from promoting FCCLA to Diabetes Awareness. A Red Cross blood drive was planned and successfully donated

above their goal. Another project is helping the local Hospital Thrift Store with donations. Kits are being prepared to go to the Canyon Creek Woman’s Crisis Center. Some projects investigate careers that students may wish to pursue.

The Panguitch Chapter will have 42 students participating in the State FCCLA competition. Those that receive a gold medal at the state level will then have the opportunity to compete on a national level which will be held in Florida this summer.

All of these projects help students with individual skill development and the opportunity to provide meaningful service while learning leadership and job related skills. Next time you hear students talking about their projects in FCCLA take a minute to hear the details or get involved; you will be glad you did!

As the Legislative session ended last week you may have heard about a 1.16% increase in the WPU. The WPU represents the Weighted Pupil Unit. The WPU is distributed to districts based on the student enrollment for that particular year; normally referred to as the October 1 count.

The WPU was started by the Utah State Office of Education in 1973. At that time, the WPU value for each student was $508; the WPU for 2011 was $2,816.

The WPU has multiple sections one is called the regular WPU, this relates to the regular education students receive. The amount will increase next year .92% from $2,816 to $2,842 for each student. The WPU also has a CTE (Career and Technical Education) section and Special Education add-ons which had a 1.16% increase from $2,577 to $2,607 for these particular students. The State Office of Education indicated that the increase in the WPU will struggle to cover the increased costs in Social Security and Retirement next year. So, at face value it is perceived there will be more money for education, but the reality is very little, if any, will ever reach students in the classroom. You

WPU

may have also heard about the new funding for enrollment growth. The State will allocate $40,997,200 to enrollment growth next year; unfortunately for Garfield School District, we will probably not see any of this particular money. The reason for this is because we have very little growth in student populations in the District. In 2001, the District had 1,052 students enrolled in the public education system; in 2011 we had 927 students enrolled.

As you can see, funding growth does not help Garfield School District; the winners in funding growth are districts like Uinta, Alpine and Nebo because they are experiencing the most student growth at this time.

To add a positive note to the Legislative session, Garfield School District will receive an increase in NESS (Necessarily Existing Small School) money next year. This is ongoing funding from the State of Utah to help Necessarily Existing Small Schools in the State. All of the schools in the District receive additional NESS funding except Panguitch Elementary.

The Legislature approved approximately $3,500,000 in additional funding for NESS schools in the State.

We do not have the final numbers on what this increase will be, but we are projecting it to be somewhere in the $200,000 range in new funding for next year. We would not have received this money if it was not for our local Legislators working to add the additional money to the NESS funding line. When you see your local representative will you please tell them thank you for helping with NESS funding?

As an update on staffing changes in the District, I have given three teachers in the District a formal notice of no expectation of continued employment for the upcoming school year.

Two teachers were notified at Panguitch Elementary and one teacher at Boulder Elementary. These teachers were not released for cause; they are all provisional teachers. This means they have not received tenure in the District and have been working in the District less than three years. We are currently planning to fill the positions with our current faculty, but this is subject to change if teachers retire before school starts next year.

An additional note, we will have an elementary school in Boulder next year.

Every1Counts LEADERSHIP

By Cynthia Kimball

+ LOVE =

EXTRAORDINARY

I recently read a talk, “Leadership: What’s love got to do with it?” by Colonel Arthur J. Athens, Director of the U.S. Naval Academy’s Vice Admiral James B. Stockdale Center for Ethical Leadership (usna.edu, 2012). It’s probably one of the best talks I’ve ever read. If you have time you should read it (http://www.dtic.mil/ cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?AD=ADA519727).

According to Colonel Athens, “…what does love have to do with leadership?’ …I think it has everything to do with it…I don’t think you can be an extraordinary leader unless you love your people sincerely. Let me repeat that. I don’t think you can be an extraordinary leader unless you love your people sincerely” (Athens, 2008, p. 4). And then he says, “Now history shows us that you can win battles, you can accomplish the mission, you can make money, you can build buildings, and you can win games without loving your people, because a lot of people have done it that way. But I am convinced that you and your organization, your unit, your group will never be extraordinary in the long run without that kind of genuine concern for your people” (Athens, 2008, p. 4).

Colonel Athens talk segues nicely into an issue that’s quite common: reminding people of their past mistakes. One person I know, who is now quite successful, who ran into trouble as a youth, once told me, “No matter how hard I try to do the best I can, they [family and friends] are always telling me I will fail.”

If you are reminding your child, spouse, friend, employee, student, etc., of their past mistakes, you might want to think twice before you do this in the future.

This kind of feedback is damaging. And

it’s certainly not Colonel Athens definition of leadership. As a matter of fact, reminding someone of their past mistakes can definitely impact them negatively. They may be struggling with self-esteem issues and still working to find their place in this world. They may even be self-sabotaging themselves with negative thoughts. They certainly don’t need yours to add to theirs.

A good a gauge, when wondering if what you are about to say is productive or not, is to just ask yourself if it is good or useful. If it isn’t, don’t say it.

Colonel Athens had the opportunity to once coach a high school lacrosse team.

When he ran into the principle of this high school, before he began coaching, the principle told him, “Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention there is one guy who is going to be on your team, his name is Houston, and the guy is a bum. I would kick him off the team right now.”

“Well,” I said, “I need to give him a chance.”

He said, “No, no. The guy is terrible.

He’ll miss practice. You just watch.” Yet, Colonel Athens took time to get to know Houston just like he did every other one of his lacrosse players. And it made a huge difference in Houston’s life especially when Houston ended up accidently killing someone when driving too fast (Athens, 2008, p. 9).

When talking about the connection between leadership and love, Colonel Athens explained, “…people want to feel special and valuable, every single person. Every single member of your platoon or division or section or whatever it is who’s standing in front of you, they want to feel special and valuable” (Athens, 2008, p. 9). Thus, find ways to do this. One of the ways Colonel Athens does this is by celebrating birthdays even to the point of singing “Happy Birthday”.

“Love your people, and A local you will see amazing things and sustainable farm occur” said Colonel Athens Join our CSA! (Athens, 2008, p. 17).

MESA FARM MARKET

OLD HOME

FISHING

A wife returning from a fishing trip with her husband was telling her troubles to a neighbor.

“I did everything all wrong again today,” she said. “I talked too loud, I used the wrong bait, I reeled in too soon, and I caught more fish than he did.”

EMPTY CAGE

Staring at an empty cage, a zoo visitor asks, “Where are all the monkeys?”

“It’s mating season,” the keeper replies. “They’re inside.”

“Do you think they’d come out for peanuts?”

“Probably not,” answers the keeper.

“Why not?” persists the visitor.

“Would you?”

We purchased an old home in northern New York State from two elderly sisters. Winter was fast approaching and I was concerned about the house’s lack of insulation.

“If they could live here all those years, so can we,” my husband confidently declared.

One November night, the temperature plunged to below zero and we woke up to find our interior walls covered with frost. My husband called the sisters to ask how they had kept the house warm.

After a rather brief conversation, he hung up. “For the past 30 years,” he announced, “they’ve gone to Florida for the winter.”

CHECK YOUR BILL

A corporate executive received a monthly bill from the law firm that was handling a big case for his company. It included hourly billing for conferences, research, phone calls, fax, photocopying, and everything but lunch hours.

Unhappy as he was, the executive knew that the company would have to pay for each of these services.

Then he noticed one item buried in the middle of the list: “For crossing the street to talk to you, then discovering it wasn’t you at all $125.”

FYI PANGUITCH By: Mack Oetting ~ E-mail: mackoetting @gmail.com The weather man got part of it right, we did have a real big wind storm, boy did it blow. How hard do you say, Pat and I went up to Richfield for Chinese food and only used an 1/8 of a tank of gas, however on the way back we almost ran out of gas, using 3/8, yes it was blowing. As for all of the snow that sure fizzled out the two to four feet was more like 1”.

This is open enrollment for Primary Care Network health insurance (PCN) and it runs from March 19th to the 30th. Your annual income has to below $16,700 for single or $22,700 for couples. This insurance cost is about $50:00 for a year, you do have co-pay payments. You can find help for this insurance at the Dept. of Health, here in town. PCN insurance is only offered once a year and can be a life saver. You have to be 19 to 64 years of age and not eligible for Medicaid.

A lot went on this week: it was our wards opportunity to take the Dialysis patients over to Cedar City and both of them, Bob Evans and David Orton wanted to thank all of those that help with this service.

Many thanks to the County for supplying the transportation. Remember that if you need a ride to Cedar on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, give the Care Center a call, the van leaves at 9:30 and returns by 5:00.

Wednesday there was the Constitutional Bowl and again Panguitch won the competition, this time by only 3 points. Bryce Valley did a smashing job, but came up a little short.

The High School faced off with the Middle School and these young middle school students really took it to them. These young people really put in the studying for this event and went undefeated all day long, missing very few questions.

The team was made up of Janzen Orton, the Anderson twins Connor and Ian, Drew Fischer and MaKoy Dodds. Jason Orton, Janzen’s Father, told me that he had to chase the team home at 9:00 pm the night before, they really made an outstanding effort and it paid off, big time. I feel this Constitutional Bowl is a real winner, I think that this type of competition could be expanded to include history or science.

Ryan Houston’s debate team failed to three peats this year, but took a very hard 3rd place finish. Oakley a private school took first place. Some of the winners were Public Form Austin Josie and Brenden Lee got a bronze medal, Impromptu Donny Coiwin also a Bronze, in Spar, Branden Birch took silver, Austin Josie also received silver for Congress and in Oratory Frecia Houston, took home Bronze. Debate is one the best ways for your kids to get out of the box. They have to be able to debate each side of the issue and to look at both sides. Congratulations to the team. This is a win win situation for all who compete regardless of the place.

Thursday there were the Republican Caucus that were really well attended and officers were picked and also the delegates for the State and County Caucus. The Democrats County wide Caucus was held on Tuesday and I didn’t hear how it went.

Friday night was Panguitch’s birthday party; honoring the pioneers that founded the Town in 1864 and 1871. The program was great with Lee Mullenaux playing Jens Neilson, the Presiding Bishop at the first settlement. Jens was a very interesting person, he also was with the group that went down the hole in rock to found a town in Colorado. He was part of the Willy hand cart company, he injured his leg in an accident and his wife hauled him across the plains in a hand cart. Max Sevy played the part of George W. Sevy who was in charge of the second settlement. Camille Moore explained the progress of the restoration of the County Building and with the mild winter it is coming along on schedule. Commissioner Leland Pollock explained the funding of several city, state and federal facilities that add to the “Lucky Us” we live in Panguitch theme.

There was a ton of prizes and guess who didn’t win anything, wah. ? It was a St. Patrick day theme and many comments of why we are lucky to live here in Panguitch were read. .

Mostly people are thankful for the services that are provided and how wonderful the people are, and how people step forward to help others out. Ice cream floats and shamrock cookies finish off a great evening. Pat would like to thank all those that took part in making this an eventful evening.

Tomorrow the Drama club goes to Wayne for Region and hopefully they will finish in the top two so that they can go on to State in Parowan in April. The drama club meets in the morning at 7 am and works after school perfecting their play..

This Saturday the Boy Scouts will be having a food drive. Put your canned goods in a bag and on your front porch, they will be by at 9 am. to take the food the Care and Share.

April is fast approaching, LDS Conference will be held this year on the 1st. The following week is Easter and I am not quite sure when the days off from school are. On Friday the 6th will be the Easter egg hunt, depending on the weather will be held at the City Parks at 10 am. Last year because of the high water, the hunt was moved to the PHS running track and because the weather kept getting worst it was moved into the gym. This is the first time in 16 years that the hunt had to be moved.

Saturday is my favorite, it’s the Hurricane Car show and signals the end of winter.

We have made that trip for years, going through Zion and on into St. George for dinner.

Red Canyon Visitors Center will be open Easter weekend April 6 – 10.

They will open for the summer in May and will be opened 7 days a week, from 9am – 6:00. If you want to know anything about our area this is the place to visit, they know every nook and cranny in the County.

I missed out on the best kept secret in Garfield County, the School board election. I couldn’t find anything in the last 3 edition of the Insider about the filing date, I found about it from a Board member on Friday, too late to file. I was so mad about reading that the Board was cut-

ting two teachers from the Elementary that was all I could think about. It took the last board four years to get the 4 teachers back into the schools and to see that Panguitch Board members did not even attempt to stop it really disappointed me.. Well the good news is someone though to call their friends to run. On the west side we have Melanie Draper who comes from a long family of educators and is very smart and has a family of five kids. She and her husband bought the Poll’s home, north of town.

She is very interested in bringing back the respect to the Teachers and employees in the district. Todd Mooney is the other candidate and Doctor Mooney also wants to bring back the education that the students need. Our reading grades are down throughout the county and it can be traced back to doing away with the Aids. Panguitch elementary only has one aid in the first 6 grades. These aids in the lower grades are vital in helping the teacher with reading. These two are running for the position on the west side of 89. Mike Savage also got a call to run for the board, he is one of the most talented people we have in our town. Mike is very bright and articulate and also has kids in school.

Mike will be running for the Board on the East side of 89. These three do not need health insurance; the cost of health insurance for the 3 school board members is the cost of one teacher.

Our only Legacy is our children and only you have the power to change the Education system for good.

Friday, too late to file. I was so mad about reading that the Board was cutting two teachers from the Elementary that was all I could think about. It took the last board four years to get the 4 teachers back into the schools and to see that Panguitch Board members did not even attempt to stop it really disappointed me.. Well the good news is someone though to call their friends to run. On the west side we have Meloney Draper who comes from a long family of educators and is very smart and has a family of five kids. Her and her Husband bought the Poll’s home, north of town.

She is very interested in bringing back the respect to the Teachers and employees in the district. Todd Mooney is the other candidate and Doctor Mooney also wants to bring back the education that the students need. Our reading grades are down throughout the county and it can be traced back to doing away with the Aids. Panguitch elementary only has one aid in the first 6 grades. These aids in the lower grades are vital in helping the teacher with reading. These two are running for the position on the west side of 89. Mike Savage also got a call to run for the board, he is one of the most talented people we have in our town. Mike is very bright and articulate and also has kids in school.

Mike will be running for the Board on the East side of 89. These three do not need health insurance; the cost of health insurance for the 3 school board members is the cost of one teacher.

Our only Legacy is our children and only you have the power to change the Education system for good.

BRYCE VALLEY AREA NEWS

by Vicki D. Syrett 679-8687 or vickidiane36@hotmail.com We send condolences out to the family and friends of Teora Newby Willis who passed away recently. She was buried in Henrieville where she spent much of her life. Teora was a great person and we send our love and prayers to the family at this time.

Various speakers in the Sacrament meetings were Gary Johnson, Gary Syrett, and Les Barker in Henrieville.

Anthony Rose honored the congregation with a beautiful vocal selection. DeLane Griffin and his daughter spoke in Tropic and the Relief Society Sisters sang “As Sisters in Zion” to celebrate the 170th birthday of the Relief Society. Ferrell Brinkerhoff and Herb Baugh spoke in Cannonville.

Congratulations to Elder Cache Mortensen on becoming an A.P. in the Orlando Florida Mission (Assistant to the President).

He is the son of Shawn and Crystal Mortensen and is a great young man.

The Ice Skating rink at Ruby’s has come down for the summer. It was fun while it lasted and lots of folks had a great time using it. Look for it next year.

Henrieville held their Relief Society Birthday Dinner on last Friday. Artoise Platt was in charge and she did a wonderful job of putting it together.

It was designed around the talk by Pres. Uchdorf on the “Forget Me Nots”. IT was a great program and the food was delicious.

The Boy Scouts Dinner for the adults in Scouting and their spouses will be held on March 27th at 6:30 P.M. in Tropic. It is for the Powell Point and Panguitch District of Scouting. Speakers will be Mark Gubler, Council President of the Utah National Parks Council, and Dave Pack, Council Secretary. This goes along with the Scouters training with the professionals who will be in attendance. It is for all leaders in Cub Scouts and Scouts and their spouses to attend. If you are in scouting be sure to attend because it promises to be a good meeting and the food is being prepared in a very interesting way.

See you there.

Saturday will be the Young Women’s Conference General Meeting.

March 24th at 6:00 P.M. in Tropic. It is for the mothers, daughters and the leaders of the Young Women.

Art and I went to Kanab to attend the track meet there because we have two granddaughters from Canyon View High School that run. Cambry Jensen ran the 3200 meter and the 1600 meter and took first in both event with a time of 5.55 in the two mile run. Of course I am bragging a bit but we sure enjoyed the time spent down there and got to see Bryce Valley participate.

We sat right in front of the High Jump and it amazes me how those athletes can clear that pole. They are great. If the darn wind had stopped it would have been very pleasant but the wind was miserable and those kids just kept going.

They are great - everyone of them deserves a medal just for perseverance and smiling faces. Good work to all the kids from all the schools who participated and stuck it out. Where do they find their determination and stick to itiveness. I am amazed.

Have a great week and please call or email your news to me. Thanks VS.

ESCALANTE NEWS

Marlene Haws Spring must be coming. Shannon and Jenifer Steed have announced the opening of “Cowboy Blues Restaurant,” and Dennis and Dana Waggoner have announced that “The Outfitters” will now be open seven days a week. There is more activity on the main thoroughfare going through town, more signs of tourist travel, and some of the weeds even have the nerve to be peeking their heads out of the ground already!

So, yes, Spring is on the horizon!

The Escalante Stake Women’s Conference was held here in the Escalante Stake Center on Saturday, March 10, 2012. I have been told it was SO special and I am still feeling bad because I missed it. Mainly because those ladies, from Cedar City, who came to help with it were my relatives and I didn’t even get to see them. But I’ll tell you what I have been told about the whole thing: The keynote speaker was Sharla Heap Graf. She brought along her husband, Brian, her mom, Marilyn Heap (her mom is Ardell Riggs and a sister to my Dad, Starns Mecham), her sisters, Cherene Heap and Shera Lyn LeFevre, her sister-in-law, Connie Barton Heap and her four daughters, Shannon, Erin and twins Megan and Marissa.

(They left the youngest daughter, Breanne, in Tropic so she could spend some time with her grandparents, Berdell and Carma Barton.)

Sharla is a cancer survivor, so her story was one of inspiration. CHERENE said she has always wanted to see her name in the paper, so…here it is CHERENE, three times. How about that?

Condolences to the family of Steve Pollock, Tropic. Some say “Time heals all wounds” but they seldom mention the scar it usually leaves. Steve will be missed and the only control we have over that is to “Remember The Good Times.” Much love and many prayers are with the Pollock family at this time.

SHED ANTLER HUNTERS CAN HELP WILDLIFE, PROTECT RESOURCES As spring approaches people tired of cabin fever are looking forward to getting into the great outdoors.

One of the first groups of outdoor enthusiasts that are ready to head into the woods is shed antler hunters.

Antler gathering is a very popular activity on the Fishlake National Forest because of the good deer and elk herds that inhabit the winter range areas.

Antler hunters are reminded that seasonal restrictions on motorized travel are in effect on the Fishlake National Forest to protect habitat, wildlife, and roads. Cross-country travel for antler hunting is prohibited.

Seasonal restrictions should be of particular interest to antler hunters. Several areas around the forest are restricted to motorized travel during the time when wildlife is on winter range.

Animals trying to survive the harsh winter months are stressed enough without the added pressure from motorized traffic.

The natural behavior for deer and elk is to come to lower elevation as winter snows start to melt and vegetation starts to grow.

They then follow the melting snow to the high elevation for summer. When this natural feeding pattern is altered by human activities during this crucial time, animals are forced into higher elevations where snow is still deep and vegetation is months from green-up.

The downside is the animal’s body condition suffers. Body condition becomes poor and antler development for the next year cannot be maximized.

“Good body conditiongood antlers”—“Poor body condition-poor antlers”. It is with antlers that bucks and bulls spar for the right to be the strongest animal, passing on their genetics, thus making for stronger healthier offspring.

“It is for these reasons we have developed travel restrictions on big game winter ranges forest-wide,” said Kreig Rasmussen, Richfield Ranger District wildlife biologist. “In order for big game animals to have maximum body condition they need low stress and natural conditions.

During a winter like we are experiencing it is common that we will have a 35-45% loss on our deer fawn populations.”

The restrictions associated with winter range travel run from January 1 through April 15 of each year.

To better understand where restrictions are inplace, shed antler hunters are encouraged to pick up and use a Fishlake National Forest Travel Map. Maps are available at no charge from the Forest Supervisor’s Office and the Richfield Ranger District Office in Richfield, and the Ranger District Offices in Fillmore, Loa and Beaver. The maps are also available online at http://www.fs.usda.gov/ fishlake.

Law enforcement personnel from the Forest Service and Utah Division of Wildlife Resources will be patrolling winter range access points to educate and enforce the winter range restrictions. Already this year tickets have been issued to antler hunters using motorized vehicles in seasonally restricted areas or using their ATV to grid crosscountry looking for antlers.

Help give these wintering animals the best possible opportunity to make in through the winter in good shape. Like hunting, it’s the responsibility of each hunter to know where they can and can’t be during a particular season. Everyone should enjoy their outdoor experience and be able to enjoy abundant wildlife opportunities in the years to come.

Please report any wildlife harassment immediately to Utah Public Safety dispatch in your area. Violations notices may be issued to those who are found on seasonally restricted routes. Violations carry a potential fine of not more than $5,000.00 and/or imprisonment for not more than six months.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR & OPINIONS In last weeks article on NEPOTISM, The Insider failed to add that Richard Davis was who submitted the Article.

I offer my apologies. It was my mistake. ~ Ryan Davis, Editor

BROKERED CONVENTION(S) By now most of my readers know that I’m not all that ‘into’ writing about political activities...

Yes, I DO have political persuasions...but not to chat about in this very PUBLIC location!!

But...I got to thinking about how much FUN this election year has become...and that the Republican may well end up with what is called, A Brokered Convention...and I began looking around for good info that might easily describe...explain what it is all about...so... Here Goes!

Most of our political conventions, Republican and Democrat require a minimum of 50% of the delegates to be pledged going into their conventions But if no candidate wins the outright majority then the party’s candidate must decided at the convention...Following so far??

In the insuing horse-trading (Brokering)... the various ‘factions’ seek to put together a majority and anyone can be nominated from-the-floor meaning a brand new (dark Horse) can suddenly emerge!

Has all of this happened before? Yes! Abraham Lincoln Woodrow Wilson and FDR were all nominated in brokered conventions!

The longest convention, producing great (??) ‘dramatic’ convention was the Democratic one in 1924. It lasted 17 days and required no less than 103 ballots!

The party was divided along religious, social and geograaphic lines with Catholic Al Smith and William Gibbs McAdoo, a Protestant who was prefered by the Dixie democrats.

The New York convention was being held during a heat wave...and...being picketed by Irish and german immigrants, temperance activists and even Klu Klux Clan members, hoods and all!

Local papers branded it, “The Clanbake.”

With bitter fighting on and off the convention floor, both of these leading candidates withdrew after the 99th ballot!

Lawyer John Davis was the compromise candidate but he ended up winning only 12 states handing Calvin Coolidge a landslide victory...

After the disastrous 1968 Democratic convention (Chicago-remember?)...both parties adopted today’s system of primaries and caucuses giving more power to the rank and file voters and diminishing the over-all importance of the conventions.

Could it happen THIS year? Maybe...but it would come about via a set of ‘perfect’ circumstances with winners and losers in various Super States and noone having a clear majority...

Keep on watching...it’s the best Game- In-Town, right now...and REALLY FUN!!

BTW: who do YOU think the Republican candidate will be??

TORREY NEWS The predicted statewide St. Paddy’s Day weekend snowstorm never materialized, in Wayne County anyways. In a recent radar conversation with weather forecaster Dina Friedman of KTVX Channel 4, I ask her why radar views of Wayne County never were actually representative of what we here in Wayne County see right out of our windows.

In her detailed weather explanation she stated that Wayne County sits in a radar “Black Hole”, and we occupy a rather unique spot in the state of Utah that the radar coverage from Cedar City and Grand Junction, Colorado cannot hit. Dina’s reasoning sounded feasible and thus is the reason we just happen to be lucky enough to have Barbra Ekker in Hanksville, to fill the weather void.

Barbra Ekker has been providing weather related information to the national weather service since

most of us were wetting our diapers. When you see Hanksville on the evening weather report, you can bet Barbra braved the weather and went out to her weather station at her home in Hanksville, and personally gathered that important information.

Thanks Barbra for your dedicated and continued service to Wayne County.

When we see the weather reported in Hanksville, we always think of you.

In another weekendrelated event that is certainly worthy of mention was the “Old Folks Party” in Koosharem. This event has been taking place the third weekend in March for one hundred years. If you have never been to this Grass Valley event, you have been missing out. It is like going to the Super Bowl of Sunday dinners at Barbra Pace or Faun Reeses houses, and having the likes of Berneal Hatch, Auntie Rhea (Jackson) Larson, and

WEDDINGS

Adus F. Dorsey II every other Grand Motherly Wayne County cook gathered around their ovens baking their favorite recipes just for you to personally sit around the kitchen table and enjoy.

The menu and cost is something you would never find at any commercial eating establishment, even at Mom’s Café’ in Salina.

All of the honored Senior guests ate for free.

To start off the feast, there were baskets filled with browned dinner rolls that didn’t need butter and melted in your mouth the minute they hit your tongue. Blue Ribbon, county fair quality, canned green beans that still tasted of a Grass Valley summer in Greenwich followed. Hand Rubbed and seasoned, tender roast beef the likes that Aunt Nellie in Salina used to dish up to all her hungry kids and all their friends, that the neighborhood could surely smell cooking on any given Sunday. Alongside were mashed potatoes splashed with gravy so smooth that they would make any Chuck a Rama’s chef jealous. There were so many culinary delights dished up you would think Julia Child’s had got her start in Greenwich or Burrville.

Not to go without mentioning were salads so fresh and crisp that they immediately made folks go home and plow up their garden spots and get the ground ready for spring planting.

Did I mention the pies?

When you arrived at the Koosharem Elementary School auditorium, every table was lined with homemade pies. These were enticing, delectable decorated centerpieces that gave new meaning to “Life is short, eat desert first”. Apple pies were topped with crusty cinnamon family secrets certainly from the old country. There were lemon meringue pies lightly toasted to perfection, pecan pies so sticky and tasty you will be smacking your lips for a week and banana and coconut cream pies that would give you tropical dreams.

Marie Calendar could use a few pie lessons from the women of Wayne County and Grass Valley.

And just when you thought your Wal-Mart style stretch pants and your favorite living room recliner were starting to sound soothing, the local entertainment was about ready to start. The lunch tables were cleared from the floor and the Koosharem Elementary kids filled the stage and started singing patriotic crowd favorites for about an hour. Not to be forgotten were the local musicians that brought their instruments to work up an appetite for the evening supper and a dance.

The Koosharem “Old Folk’s Party” is, and always has been a celebration, of our local Seniors and a yearly Grass Valley event not to be missed.

Our Southern Utah community has no boundaries. We may all come from different walks of life, but with a little effort, we can all make a difference. Celebrate the Seniors in your life. Don’t be the one that misses an easy opportunity to show someone you care.

PATIENT INFORMATION

Choosing the Right Type of Diaper Diaper rash can cause a great deal of discomfort for the baby. Since the goal is to keep the skin dry, parents should choose diapers that are labeled as superabsorbent or ultra-absorbent.

These prevent diaper rash better than older, regular absorbency diapers. Some parents prefer cloth diapers for reasons of economics, sanitation, or conservation, but disposables are far better than reusable cloth diapers in preventing diaper rash. If cloth diapers are used, they should never be covered by plastic pants, since the plastic keeps moisture trapped inside the diaper and makes diaper rash more likely.

During an active case of diaper rash, the skin is very sensitive. Most commercial diaper wipes should be avoided during this time, as these products may contain chemicals that irritate the skin affected by the rash.

Immediate cleaning of the area with mild soap is the safest alternative.

Skin Protectants Skin protectants are the safest ingredients for treating diaper rash. These include such ingredients as allantoin, calamine, cod liver oil, dimethicone, ka-

olin, lanolin, mineral oil, petrolatum, talc, topical starch (also known as cornstarch), white petrolatum, and zinc oxide. However, some of these are better than others.

Petrolatum (e.g., Vaseline) is an excellent choice.

Powders containing kaolin, cornstarch, or talc can cause problems if the baby’s skin is broken or wounded and should be avoided. If you choose to use them anyway, keep any powder diaper rash product well away from the child’s face while you are putting it on your hands or applying it to the baby’s bottom. If you allow the powder to get into the air, the baby will inhale it while breathing, potentially producing chemical pneumonia that can lead to permanent breathing problems or death.

The best way to apply powders is to go to a location away from the baby. Place the container close to your body and away from your face. Gently shake a small amount of powder onto a hand. When the powder has settled, approach the baby and apply it to the diaper area.

Never let an older sibling play with the

powders either by themselves or around the baby for the same reasons.

Products to Avoid Some chemicals should never be used on the baby.

Do not use homemade preparations such as baking soda since their safety would be questionable.

Any product containing boric acid or borax is unsafe and must be avoided.

Chemicals such as aloe vera, benzyl alcohol, castor seed, Peruvian balsam, nonfat dry milk, arnica, borage, thymol, calendula, rose hip oil, and tea tree oil are not FDA-approved protectants. Some may be listed as inactive ingredients, but could still cause allergic reactions or other problems. Antibiotic ointments containing such ingredients as neomycin, polymyxin, or bacitracin should not be used for diaper rash.

Hydrocortisone products should not be used without a physician recommendation. You should not use any antifungal or anticandidal products on diaper rash.

Remember, if you have questions, Consult your Pharmacist.

INHERITING RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS

Retirement accounts such as IRAs, Keoghs, 401(k)s and 403(b)s present special estate planning concerns.

Many tax issues must be addressed when planning for the lifetime distribution of retirement accounts to an owner as well as the balances remaining upon an account owner’s death.

The IRS has provided many rules and guidelines related to these retirement accounts both during an owner’s life and upon his or her death.

Specifically, proceeds from traditional retirement accounts (generally retirement accounts other than Roth IRAs) are subject to income tax the year they are received. Therefore, account owners, and those who may inherit accounts, generally want to keep distributions to a minimum to reduce taxes provided there is not an immediate need

for the assets.

Many account owners reach retirement and find they do not need the assets in their retirement accounts to supplement their retirement. For many of these individuals, their desire is to defer the distribution of these proceeds and allow the assets to continue to grow tax deferred.

Based on the current law, an individual can defer taking proceeds out of most retirement accounts only up to age 70½ (there is no mandatory withdrawal for Roth IRAs). However, at age 70½, an individual must begin taking his or her required minimum distributions.

Often, if an individual is married, the spouse is the best choice for the beneficiary. If a spouse is named as beneficiary, the spouse can convert the retirement account to his or her own IRA. This allows the spouse to continue to defer distribution of the proceeds based on the spouse’s life expectancy.

However, in situations of very large estates where the spouse would have sufficient assets without the

retirement account, the children or grandchildren may be the best beneficiary choice.

Naming the children or grandchildren as beneficiaries of different individual retirement accounts can allow for a greater “stretch” of the income tax deferral upon the owner’s death.

Additionally, naming a charity can be a very useful technique. A charity will pay no income tax on the proceeds. This can be an especially appealing technique if the charity named is a family donor advised fund. The donor advised fund is akin to a private family charity that allows children to use all the proceeds of the retirement account for charitable purposes with no taxes being paid.
