PLANNED POWER OUTAGE FOR GARKANE’S SOUTHERN SYSTEM

Loa, Utah, – Garkane Energy will be having two pre-arranged outages in our Southern System on April 15th and May 20th. Each outage will be from 12:00 a.m. Saturday night (Midnight) until approximately 6:00 a.m Sunday Morning. These outages are necessary for the Western Area Power Administration (WAPA), at Glen Canyon to do the necessary work to install a backup transformer to feed Garkane’s transmission line out of the dam. After the work has been completed, in association with these two outages, Garkane will have much better reliability out of Glen Canyon in case of a transformer malfunction or failure. This installation will provide Garkane a redundant transformer for backup at Glen Canyon. All of Kane and Garfield counties (except Antimony and Panguitch), and Northern Arizona, (except Colorado City and Hildale) will be affected. We urge all law enforcement, hospitals, telephone entities, and Churches to be aware, as these outages will run from midnight, Saturday Night (12:00 a.m.) to approximately 6:00 a.m Sunday Morning (6 hours total). During these outages Garkane crews will be out working on various projects throughout the system, that need to be accomplished,which can only be done when the power is out. We thank all of our customers for their patience and understanding during these two critical outages. Garkane reminds its members to be prepared for power outages by choosing an easily accessible closet or cupboard for an emergency supply of flashlights, batteries, and other needed items.

RED CANYON VISITOR CENTER OPENS FOR THE 2012 SEASON The Powell Ranger District, Dixie National Forest will open the Red Canyon Visitor Center for the 2012 season, on Friday April 6.

Visitor Center hours of operation will be 9AM to 6 PM daily. The Visitor Center has a book store, art gallery and interpretive displays highlighting the area’s resources, along with current events and activities taking place in the Red Canyon area. “The Red Canyon Visitor Center is a great spot to stretch your legs on a short hike, view local artwork, photograph the surrounding beauty, as well as learn about the natural and culture resources of the Dixie National Forest.” said Powell District Ranger, Karen Schroyer This coming season interpretive programs in geology, solar observation and night sky programs will be presented at the

Visitor Center and Red Canyon Campground. The Red Canyon Visitor Center will again partner with Bryce Canyon National Park to provide the solar scoping and night sky programs, which were very popular during the 2011 season. The Art Gallery at the Visitor Center will have three painting exhibits this season featuring local southern Utah artists. The opening art exhibit will be local Panguitch artist/ painter Virginia Valcourt, who will feature oil paintings along with pen and ink

drawings of the Red Canyon area. The exhibit will run April 6 – June 6 and will be open during regular Visitor Center hours. Come explore your Dixie National Forest this year for a great outdoor family recreation experience and be sure to stop in at the Red Canyon Visitor Center.

WAYNE SCHOOL DISTRICT FIGHTS YOUTH TOBACCO USE Joins National Kick Butts Day Initiative March 21, 2012

The Community Youth Council joined thousands of kids across the country taking part in Kick Butts Day, a nationwide initiative encouraging kids to be leaders in the effort to stop tobacco use in youth. As part of the Kick Butts Day celebration, Wayne School District students made graffiti boards on Why They Choose Not to Use Tobacco. They will be posted around the community during the Easter holiday. Throughout the year, young advocates take part in a variety of activities to protect kids from tobacco. These include working with elected officials to develop policies that reduce youth tobacco use, exposure to

secondhand smoke, and educating their peers about tobacco companies’ deceptive marketing practices. On March 21st, elementary, middle and high school students across the country organized Kick Butts Day events to fight youth tobacco use. Young people participated in a variety of Kick Butts Day activities such as marching to state capitals, holding rallies, meeting with elected officials, and holding flash mobs in busy community spaces. In 2011, thousands of kids carried out hundreds of events. We expect this number to increase in 2012. “Kids are a powerful part of the solution to reducing youth tobacco use,” said Matthew L. Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, which coordinates Kick Butts Day. “For Kick Butts Day 2012, kids are sending two important messages: they want the tobacco industry to stop targeting them with advertising and they want elected leaders at all levels

to do more to protect them from tobacco.” Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States, killing more than 400,000 people every year. Every day, more than 4,000 kids try their first cigarettes; another 1,000 kids become addicted smokers, one-third of whom will die prematurely as a result. The Washington, DCbased Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids is one of the largest non-governmental education and advocacy initiatives ever undertaken to decrease youth tobacco use in the United States. Tobacco-Free Kids strives to build a healthier future for our children by reducing tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke. For more information about the Kick Butts Day event at Wayne School District, contact Julie Jeffery; julie.jeffery@wayne.k12. ut.us For information on the national initiative, visit the Kick Butts Day website at kickbuttsday.org.

Deliberations focused on developing a mission, a set of desired ends, and an initial set of specific proposed recommendations from each working group. The RRC met several times throughout the year and made final recommendations, which were voted on and approved by the entire membership in February 2012, representing approximately 850 electric cooperatives across the country.

Every1Counts Dear Readers, since I am presently the sole graduate assistant in the NEW Career & Technical and Postsecondary Education (CTPE) program at the University of Las Vegas in the NEW Teaching and Learning Department in the College of Education there, I wanted to share, for this week’s column, a recruiting letter regarding our CTPE program. Thanks so much! Cynthia

A gentleman wandered around the campus of a college looking for the library. He approached a student and asked, “Excuse me, By Cynthia Kimball young man. Would you be good enough to tell me where the library is at?” The student, in a very arrogant and belittling tone, replied, “I’m sorry, sir, but at this school, we are taught never to end a sentence with a preposition!” Department of Teaching and Learning The gentleman smiled, and in a very apologetic tone, he March 2012 RE: Masters of Education (M.Ed.) with emphasis in Career & Technical and P o s t - replied, “I beg your pardon.

The programs serve professional educators and trainers, counselors, administrators, and policymakers who are involved in public and private secondary, postsecondary and adult career and technical education. The graduate programs are designed to prepare persons for careers in teacher education, research and evaluation, career and technical education administration, secondary and post-secondary teaching, local and state agencies (e.g., government), and public and private organizations (e.g., business/industry, consultants). Just last month, in President Obama’s State of the Union address, “ …[he] called for a national commitment to help create an economy built to last by training two million workers with skills that will lead directly to a job” (WhiteHouse.gov, 2012). And a recent New York Times feature, “Money Urged for Colleges to Perform Job Training,” states, “… [the] Community College to Career Fund[s]…goal…[is to] train…two million workers for well-paying jobs in high-demand industries” (Lewin, 2012). What an exciting time for those involved in Career and Technical Education! Please feel free to forward this information onto any persons who might be interested in these new degree opportunities. At the bottom of this letter you will find some website addresses for you to review.

Jury Duty

As a court clerk, I am well-versed in the jury selection process. First a computer randomly selects a few hundred citizens from the entire county to report for jury duty on a particular day. Then another computer assigns 40 of those present to a courtroom. Then the 40 names are placed into a drum, and a dozen names are pulled. During jury selection for one trial, the judge asked potential Juror No. 12 if there was any reason he could not be a fair and impartial juror. “There may be,” he replied. “Juror No. 1 is my ex-wife, and if we were on the same jury, I guarantee we would not be able to agree on anything.” Both were excused.

Baby Cry?

At 3 AM in the morning, a young wife shook her husband awake. Groggily he asked “What is it?” “The baby,” she reminded him. The husband sat up and listened intently. “But I don’t hear her crying,” he protested. “I know, and it’s your turn to see why not!”

SCHOLARSHIP OF EXCELLENCE

Every year Wayne High School has awarded qualified seniors the Scholarship of Excellence Award. This award is made possible through donations from local businesses and alumni. The aide from this scholarship has helped numbers of students in their educational goals and is greatly appreciated. We’d like you to meet our seniors who may be applying this year. We will spotlight our seniors very soon so you can see who will be the recipients of your donation. Watch for them each week!

FYI PANGUITCH By: Mack Oetting ~ E-mail: mackoetting @gmail.com How are you handling the day light saving time? With me, this has been the easiest transition that I can remember. We came back from Tucson that first day, wore out and went to bed at 10:00 am and it went easy from the first day. Lots of things going on at the schools last week and that’s most of the news that I have. I am sure that many assemblies are held at the schools. Pat reported one she went to at the Elementary on Friday, it was a first grade assemble. All kids came but the first grade put the program on. Principal Reynolds introduced the program by giving the students a short quiz. “Who was the teacher that had taught at the Elementary the longest”. After a few wrong guesses, Jill Chiderster was identified as the teacher with the longest teaching record. The first grade class had the most students and Mrs. Savage and Mr. Torgerson were the sister and brother who were teaching at the school, both first grade teachers. The lucky first grade class gave an outstanding program on READING. The students sang songs about reading, they recited rhymes about reading and they told the audience about their favorite book. What a fun, informative and educational opportunity for both students and family to see that learning is fun and how much the students are progressing. A special thanks to all the teachers who put so much effort into the education of our students. Thanks again to Mrs. Savage and Mr. Torgerson for a super opportunity to see the first grade in action. The first grade class makes the future seem bright. What a dream come true for Panguitch’s FCCLA program. State FCCLA is a 1-5 A event and with 1,500 students taking part, the Bob Cats blew away the competition. Tammy Bennett’s squad came away with 18 Gold Medals and 15 Gold Medal winners are going to Nationals in Florida. The Cats swept 7 categories. These are a few of the feel good projects they were involved in. Blankets for Cancer (65 blankets donated to the Cancer Ward in St. George) in the name of Steve Pollock. First ever Blood Drive at the High School and they took in 32 units from the students. Wrote a play and helped the sixth grade students perform it. Sub for Santa girls that were big time Santa Elves, these are just a few of the projects that brought home the GOLD! The following were Gold Medal winners: Hunter Hughes, Shelby Leech, Ashley Schow, Cherish Moore, Sicily Houston, Bailee Beckstead Sierra Allen, Cianna Swartzmiller, Kaytylynn Scott, Frecia Houston, Katelyn Parkin, Baylee Palmer, McKenna Finch McKalya Heaton Tammy Bennett, when she gets her life back will have an article and picture in the paper. We should have had the sirens out for this wonderful event victory. Panguitch High School Drama Department participated in the Region Contests at Wayne High School on Friday, March 23, 2012. They presented a play called, “Crisis Inc.” The

play consisted of Lila Frill played by Chelsie Draper, Belinda Taggert – Mckenna Finch, Tracy - Cassidy Fher, Ted – Locke Savage, Aaron James – Tyler Brinkerhoff, Connie Detour Katlyn Parkin, Jennie Waters—Maryn Mooney, Steven Coil - Austin Josie, and Lionel Trax Brendan Lee Cast Extras were Lauren Smith, Sicily Houston, Kylee Hagberg, Hunter Hughes, Josiah Sarles, Jacob Fawson, Jordan McEwen, Ashlyn Dickensen, Morgan Barney, Amber Wilson, Alexis Anderson, Rowdy Miller, Mason Orton The play took second place and qualified to go to State Drama Meet in April. The following will also be going to State. Pantomime Humorous Interpretation Amber Wilson 1st place Kylee Hagberg Sam Brophy & Brandon Huntington Dramatic Classical Theater Alexis Anderson 2nd place Maryn Mooney, The Broken Doll 1st place Locke Savage, Austin Josie and Brenden Lee - Charlies Aunt Scenes from a Play Hunter Hughes, Lauren Smith, & Jordan McEwen – Three in an Elevator Chelsie Draper, Tyler Brinkerhoff, Cassidy Fher Three in an Elevator 4th place Sicily Houston, Ashlyn Dickensen, Brenna Mooney-Sisters in Law Mason Orton, Morgan Barney, Rowdy Miller-Pygmallion Musical Theater 1st place Katlyn Parkin “In my own little corner” from Cinderella 2nd place Josiah Sarels “Giants in the Sky” from Into The Woods 4th place Marin Mooney & Mckenna Finch- “Lothing” from Wicked Lauren Smith from Into The Woods Brenna Mooney “On the Steps of the Palace” from Into The Woods Elaine Baldwin and Sherrill Church, Psycho Kids, presented Crisis Inc. The four Plays, put on by Wayne, Valley, Piute and Panguitch were outstanding, the best I have seen. I am glad that I didn’t have to judge them, in my opinion all of them should be going to State. One good thing that came out of this competition, was that Diamond Ranch took part and Principal Greg Allen from Escalante came with two actresses that took part with a Shakespeare’s, Romeo and Juliet scene and took 2nd place and are going to State. Principal Allen promises to bring back a team with a play next year, he said he really enjoyed the entertainment, even better than track and field, be careful Coach. This week it’s FBLA off to State up in Layton for some more of 1-5A competition. All of these programs show that our students can compete against anyone, it’s a big world out there and these are great confidence builders. I would like to thank the Teacher/Parent Organization and Principal Reynolds, for using Trust Land money for retaining Ms Barnes as a teacher. To lose her would have been a disaster; she is a wonderful teacher and the kids really like. Mrs. Cloud the other

teacher is also outstanding and I hope she is picked up by one of the other schools in the district. My neighbor kids have never been in school before and Mrs. Cloud donates an hour, two day a week after school, reading with the boys in addition to the daily schedule. Thanks to Mrs. Cloud and Mrs. Savage the boys will be up to grade level by the time school ends. Ms. Barnes works with our 5th grade neighbor and has her doing A work. Teachers like these are hard to come by. Not having children in school Pat and I get to see first hand the difference great dedicated teachers make! Girls Basketball awards: Carly Holman, was selected to play in two All Star games, Lions Club in South Sevier and SLC. She was selected by both the SLC Tribune and the Deseret NEWS first string All State. Natashia Barney also

made the Deseret NEWS first team. Both girls were also Academic All State. This is Carly 3rd Academic award she also was selected in Cross Country and Volleyball, I am not sure but I think that Carly may be our first 4 time Academic All State. Coach Curtis Barney was selected Region 20 Coach of the year. Harvard Heaton has finally sold his home and will be moving north with his wife. He had a yard sale and a lot of people got some great bargains. A 650 ATV went to Jimmy Cooper for a steal. Harvard owned the Sears Store when we moved here and he also worked at the Red Canyon Visitors Center. I volunteered out in the Red Canyon Visitor Center for seven years and got to know and appreciate him. Harvard’s first wife, Barbara taught violin music to many of the students here and at the elementary school she started a string

group and had 43 student players before program was eliminated. Barbara and Harvard also served a Mission in Canada. Watching the NEWS this morning I picked up this thought. In 1997 we bought clothes that were 43% made in the USA. Last year that number has dropped to 2%, so much for buying American. The good news is that new car vehicles sales are back up above the 2007 level, with projected sales, of 14 million vehicles. Pat and I were out kicking tires and it seems like this is a

good time to buy, with all of the rebates and discounts. We have been buying our cars through COSTCO and you get a car for $500 over invoice price and the salesman told me that with all of the discounts that he can beat that price. With school out, don’t forget the EASTER EGG HUNT at the City Park on April 6th that is Friday at 10 am, bring your camera, it is the funniest 15 minutes of the year. Till next week Mack O

LETTER TO EDITOR Are you voting for Hatch or not?

“So if you’re to become a delegate, who are you going to vote for for US Senator?” That’s one of the questions posed to me and other delegate nominees at my precinct caucus meeting. Some of the attendees cut right to the chase, asking: “Are you going to vote for Hatch or not?” Well, how is a person to know, especially if not one person at our caucus meeting had a complete list of candidates who were running? It turns out that 10 Republican candidates are running for US Senate. It seems to me that citizen delegates are derelict in their duty if they already decided, before doing their due diligence, whether or not they’re going to vote for Hatch. Isn’t it incumbent upon us as delegates to first find out who’s running, and then carefully listen to each candidate to consider what they stand for? When it comes to Orrin Hatch, here’s one of several issues I’ve been greatly bothered by for some time. Senator Hatch tells us he’s been a long time proponent of limiting government spending and balancing the budget, yet he’s voted 16 times to raise the National debt ceiling. He is responsible, in part, for 7-1/2 TRILLION dollars of our National debt. How is it that we castigate Obama for 5 TRILLION dollars of National debt since taking office, yet we give Hatch a pass for the 7-1/2 TRILLION dollars of debt he’s voted in favor of? Senator Hatch tells us how important it is that we reelect him because he’s likely to become the all-powerful Senate Finance Committee chairman. But is that what we want? A finance committee chairman who is responsible, in part, for half of our 15 TRILLION dollar National debt? Seriously, do we give Hatch a pass just because he’s “our” Utah Senator? That scares me! How do we reconcile this issue if we claim to be conservative? What am I missing? I’m not campaigning for any candidate. I haven’t yet met or talked to one, nor am I working with or corresponding with any anti-Hatch group or special interest groups. I’m truly just wondering how Republican delegates reconcile the 16 Hatch votes / 7-1/2 TRILLION dollar debt issue if they’re leaning towards voting for him. Glen P. Davis, State delegate, precinct HOL003 Former Republican candidate for Governor interstateglen@gmail.com • 801-201-4384

The Relief Society Birthday Party was held on Friday 16th. Everyone under 18 was invited and together they enjoyed a nice dinner and presentations from each Relief Society President. Lori Beebe, First Ward and Sabrina Hughes, second ward. Past Relief Society presidents were honored and the ones who were present were: Florence Alvey, Ardis Christensen, Donna Chynoweth, Judy Griffin, Marlene Haws, Almeda Haycock and Camille Spencer. Each of these sisters were given a bouquet of Pansies. On Saturday eight Relief Society sisters joined together and went to St. George for the Stake Relief Society Temple Day. This group included: Debbie Allen, Lori Beebe, Ardis Christensen, Patrice Cottam, Almeda Haycock, Sandra Miller, Sherree Roundy and Camille Spencer. After attending the temple they enjoyed a group luncheon then got some shopping in before returning home. Don Coleman has been making a few trips out of town and has had his cataracts taken care of. “Now,” Lillian says, “His ears won’t work!” Trust her to think of that. But I guess it’s like they say, “If it ain’t one thing it’s three!” Chad and Jordon Cottam are home from school in Wyoming for Spring break. They have to divide their time between the Cottam’s in Escalante and the Leach’s in Panguitch so it would be nice if Spring break lasted for two weeks instead of one, huh? I know a lot of our other young people will be home too, so won’t you please call and tell me about them? I know everyone would like to know what they are doing, where they go to school , where they work and live, etc. So give me a call, Please! Doug and Marie Loosle, Richfield, recently celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary. Congratulations to them! For those of you who don’t know, Marie was born and raised in Escalante and is a sister of Carolyn Porter. Our sincere condolences to the family of Nelda Munson, 85, who passed away on March 16. She has been living with her daughter, Barbara, in Orem. She has five other children: Daryl (Phyllis) Munson,

Maureen (Dee) Nelson, Stan (Lori) Munson, Reed (Karen) Munson and Milan (Brenda) Munson. Nelda is a daughter of Lovell and Nelda Haycock Twitchell and stepmother, Martha Twitchell. She was born and reared in Escalante. Brothers and sisters are: Alvin Twitchell, Curtis Larsen, Lorena Langston, Beth Stott, Arletta Clutter, Joyce Tooman, DeAnn Gillies and Craig Twitchell. You may remember that Nelda’s family all gathered together in Orem to help her celebrate her 85th birthday, which was on January 26th, 2012. Eve Marsh went to Salt Lake again, for a week. She and her two sisters are triplets and they celebrated their birthday March 24th! How fun to be a triplet! Must run in the family…. Sharon Dale has a ewe that recently had three little lambs. He also has cows with twin calves. Dr. Warren Woolsey, Cedar City, is recovering from a bad fall from a ladder, we wish him well and hope he is well soon. Have you heard that there is going to be a Escalante High School Reunion on July 20th and 21st? It is for all EHS Alumni. The committee is starting out without much of a budget so the more people you can relay details to the better. They are having a dinner-meeting at Cowboy Blues on April 6, at 7:00 P. M. and invite anyone who is interested in helping or offering suggestions to come and join with them on that evening. Or you can contact Marilee Griffin Miller on Facebook, e-mail her at marileegmiller@gmail.com, or call her at 435-826-4444. Their theme is “The Town That Built Us” and they would appreciate all the help they can get. Ryan Cottam drove a bus load of 7th, 8th and 9th grade students to St. George last weekend for the Air Show. There were 38 students and 6 chaperones: Gene and Natalie King,

Derlynne Brooks, Susan Shurtz, Marilee Miller and Ryan. Admittance was free for anyone under 15 so the kids were able to spend their money on food and other “stuff” and it was a fun day for all of them. Lane And Geraldine Liston not only attended the air show in St. George but they had a real nice weekend with the family of their son Gary, and Sandy, Liston, St. Johns, Az. Gary and Sandy and two daughters, Sharla and Kelsey, hit a deer South of Kanab, en route to LaVerkin and demolished their car. When they called their insurance company they were asked, “Did you get a citation?” Sandy’s reply was, “No! The deer was at fault and he’s dead!” Anyway, they finally got together with the Liston’s and the rest of their family, Dallas and Emilee Clark, Cannonville, at the home of their other daughter Jennifer, and Tyler, Mclemore. Suzanne and Hailey McLemore and Marsha and Rhett Nisson also joined them there and they had a really fun birthday party for little one year old Taylin Mclemore before going to the air show the next day. Brooke and Brett Palmer have a new little baby girl, born March 20, 2012. She weighed 8lbs. and 11oz. and has blond hair! She has a brother, Krewz, at home in Henrieville. Her grandparents are Peggy and Bart Palmer, Tropic, and Quinn and Doneen Griffin, Escalante. Also, a great grandfather, Delane Griffin, Escalante. Don’t forget about the Easter Egg hunt Saturday, April 7. It will be at the Elementary School at 11 A.M. It’s for all ages through 6th grade, so bring your own basket and come and have a fun morning! For more information call Magen Richins at 435-559-0937. Magen and Lori Porter appreciate the help and support they have been getting to make this event possible and wish to thank each and every one of you.

SHEILA ALVORD

Kanab, Utah Sheila Kathleen Marner Sorenson Alvord, 86, passed away March 24, 2012 at the home of her daughter in Mayfield. She was born July 10, 1925 in Laurier, Manitoba, Canada to English immigrant parents, George and Clara

Hibbert Marner. Sheila served in the Canadian Armed Forces during World War II as a bookkeeper in Halifax Harbor. At war’s end, during a U.S. sight-seeing tour she met her soon to be husband, Maynard Sorenson in Salt Lake City. They married October 20, 1949 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada and moved to Salt Lake City. They lived there for a short time before moving to Axtell, where they raised their family and operated Axtell Hereford Ranch for 34 years. They raised registered Herefords, showing and selling their cattle all over the Western States. Mom gained U.S. Citizenship while raising her young family in Axtell. Sheila and Maynard were active in the community. They supported the building and growth of the Gunnison Hospital in fund raising endeavors. They were honorary members of Gunnison Valley Future Farmers of America, and members of the Gunnison Valley Lions Club. Mom was a 4-H club leader to many of the youth of the Gunnison Valley area. She worked in the local P.T.A. She was a advisor to the Gunnison Valley Young Homemakers of America. She judged county fairs in many Central Utah counties. She served on the Sanpete County Library Board, being instrumental in bringing Bookmobile services to the county. She also served on the Six County Public Health Board. She was the president of the Utah Cowbelles, and sat on the Board for the National Beef Council Cook- Off. A special highlight of Mom’s life was serving on the South Sanpete School Board for many years. Maynard preceded her in death on March 13, 1981. She married Don Alvord in 1986, and moved to Kanab. He passed away in 1996. While living in Kanab, Mom was very active in the community. She served on the Kanab Planning Commission as well as the Kanab Hospital Auxiliary, and Library Board. She enjoyed being a land steward for the geologists who protected and worked the Anasazi sites in Southern Utah-Northern Arizona. Mom served as a mentor for the Sterling Scholar Program in the local high school. Mom was a very talented quilter. She leaves a legacy of many beautiful quilts made while a member of the Canyon Country and Utah Valley Quilt Guilds. Mom was recently voted the first honorary member of the newly organized Raising Kane Quilt Guild. Charitable donations in her name may be made to the Raising Kane Quilt Guild Humanitarian Fund, care of President Ilene Ott , 968 South Powell, Kanab, Utah 84741.

Mom was well respected and never afraid to express her thoughts, which were always backed up by a wealth of knowledge, and above all, good common sense. She touched all of our lives in such a positive way and will be greatly missed. She is survived by five children: Donnell (Lavon) Sorenson, Palos Verdes, California; Marnie (Bill) Clawson, Leawood, Kansas; Bill (Debbie) Sorenson, Jerome, Idaho; Laurel (Ray) Christensen, Mayfield; Robyn (Hal) Hendrickson, Gunnison.

OBITUARIES KYLE RAY STEWART

Panguitch, Utah Kyle Ray Stewart , 54 peacefully passed from this mortal life during the early morning hours of March 21, 2012, his devoted wife Cindy at his side. We know Jeffrey was eagerly awaiting Kyle’s arrival in paradise. Words would not be able to describe the pure joy and love of that father/son reunion. Kidney failure claimed Kyle’s life after 2½ years of critical health issues. He squared his shoulders and powered through them all, becoming a medical miracle and medical mystery. Kyle was born August 15, 1957 in Cedar City to Jerald and Millie Sanders Mosdell. Later adopted by Al Stewart. He married Cindy Taylor, September 12, 1976 in Panguitch. Kyle lived life large. He was a force of nature that was always on the move. He was not happy unless he was accomplishing something, every moment of every day. His mind raced with ideas. Those around him found it nearly impossible to keep up. Kyle was not afraid to take the risks that most wouldn’t. Many of those risks proved to be fruitful, and some bit him in the butt. But he never quit trying, believing, or dreaming. Kyle had a huge compassionate heart. He felt the need personally to improve the circumstances of all those around him. Whatever he had, he wanted to share with others. Giving to others gave Kyle much joy. Kyle had an off-beat sense of humor, a stubborn streak and a short fuse. He said whatever he was thinking, with no filter, much to his wife’s embarrassment. Kyle’s life may have been cut short at 54, but he put 100 years of living and adventure into that 54 years. And he accomplished much. He will be remembered long and well. Kyle felt his most grand accomplishment was his family of six children, 11 grandchildren, and two more on the way. The motivation for all of Kyle’s undertakings was to provide and care for his family, to train and teach them hard work and honesty, the value of loyalty and being a man of your word. He loved his family more than he could have ever expressed. Kyle is survived in death by his wife Cindy; son James (Haley), and their children: Winston, baby Stewart; Nick (Sheena) and their children: Payton & Parker; Luke (Elkee) and their children: Mackenlee, Ransom, Bentley, Trig; Stacee (Justin) Partridge, and their children Shad & Kyzlee, baby Partridge; Ford (Chelsea) and their children: Gaige & Bridger; step-parents Al and Carol Stewart; in-laws, Jim and Sybil Taylor; brother, Scott and sister, DeAnn; and Jack and IvaDell Yardley. Preceded in death by son, Jeffrey; mother, Mildred Lee; grandparents, Millie and Moroni Sanders; uncle, Verl Sanders. Funeral services will be held Friday, March 23, 2012, at 1:00 p.m. in the Panguitch 3rd Ward, 550 South 100 West, where friends may call from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Burial will be in the Panguitch Cemetery.

TORREY NEWS

As a sure sign of spring the distinctive yellow lights are once again blinking at the Chuckwagon on Main Street in Torrey. There is a going to be new Pizza place where the old Chilz used to be. Slackers is now open, and the Texaco is soon to be back under the old management. “Help Wanted” signs for employment in the Torrey area are flying off the shelves at Loa Builders faster than the Capitol Reef Inn can make flap jacks. The ladies at Late Bloomers are again proudly planting custom flower pots for those of us that have yet to develop green thumbs, and no doubt Ramola Woolsey will be soon gracing us with her presence and will be seen tilling and planting her bounteous garden on the corner of River Road and Main. So many businesses have opened their doors this week in Torrey that driving, or walking on Main Street to retrieve the mail has become treacherous. Stay alive, drive 35. Torrey’s Main Street has also been receiving a semi face lift with the removal of dead or dying trees, noxious weeds and piles of dirt. If anyone was wondering about all the smoke in town last week, the Torrey canal was being burned in preparation for the irrigation water that Jed Pace has been seen easing into to town from the diversion. As a stern reminder, any canal debris (leaves, limbs, trash etc.) removed from private ditches, needs to be removed from the town property by the private user.

Your cooperation and attention to this detail is required and appreciated. It is Torrey Towns’ request that all property owners assist in keeping public areas clean and clear of debris as to provide maintenance personnel an easy access when mowing and for any other town related activities. (As part of a continued effort to keep Torrey clean, dumpsters will be provided at a soon to be announced date for the public use.) The Torrey DUP Building will also be receiving some much needed maintenance in the upcoming weeks. With the dedicated efforts of Jessie Pace, Camp Radiare’s Captain, funding for repairs have been procured from the Wayne County Special Services District under the expert direction of Donald Coombs, the Wayne County Commissioners, the Utah Historical Society and the Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area. Construction has also begun on a new rock wall being built by local mason and rock artist Wade Hansen, at the entrance to the Torrey Cemetery. With the use of Capitol Improvement and Cemetery budget funds provided by Torrey Town, along with matching funds from the Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area Board, the new rock entrance into the cemetery is our way of celebrating our proud heritage. The Torrey Town Park is also sporting a new cement playing surface on the basketball court, new sand

and net in the volleyball area, and chain link fencing on the baseball backstop. Torrey’s pubic park is fast becoming the new Disney Land of Central Utah where the local community and visitors can bring their kids for kite flying, fun, pictures and picnics. The Torrey Apple Days committee and the Torrey Town Council are hard at work on the festivities for our yearly celebration to be held on the 7th of July at the Torrey Town Park. Swap meet and concessionaires are invited to reserve their space early. To reserve your 4th of July space, the Torrey Pavilion or the Big Apple for your special event contact Torrey Town @ 425-3600 or visit our website attorreyutah.gov. Edra (Edwards) Gray, daughter of Lilly Edwards, formerly known as the famous Aunt Lil’s on Main Street in Torrey, was recently in town for the wedding of her son. Edra in her gracious and lady like manner offered up memories of her well known Grand Father Nells Johnson from Fruita. Nell’s Johnson was one of Utah’s earliest pioneers from Sweden, with a remarkable history of nurturing trees he had brought with him from Northern Europe and personally cared for on the long and certainly arduous trip across the plains by hand cart. Then Nells delicately planted in his fruit trees in his new found homeland of Fruita, Utah, of which today we locally and world wide, continue to enjoy the fruits of his due diligence and his dedicated labor. At the home of distant relatives Don and Shirley Torgerson, Edra Gray, reminisced about the early days she remembered living in Torrey during the nineteen 30’s and 40’s, when times were tough and the Torrey kids had to be tougher. Torrey Town will be receiving an award and recognition at a luncheon in Cedar City, Utah on April 10th for its “all out community effort” in becoming a recognized member of “Tree City USA”. This prestigious honor is awarded on an annual basis to cities and towns that have met stringent tree related requirements. In addition, Torrey Town has, and will be soliciting funds from “Tree Utah”, to continue in the effort to re-plant, fence and protect Torrey’s Main Street canopy of trees. We all face life’s challenges and when a community comes together we all benefit. An auction and benefit to assist Donna Sal with her unexpected recent medical bills will be held on Saturday April 7th from noon until 5 pm at the Cafe Diablo. Gary Pankow and other local individuals are graciously donating all proceeds from the lunch and auction to be held that day to the Donna Sal benefit. As can be expected in Torrey, there will be live music and many great items put up for auction. If you have anything you would care to donate, please contact Jen Howe @ 435-425-3330. Jen Howe will also be collecting donations for Donna Sal @: PO Box 750190 Torrey, UT 84775

WOW!

Raptors...Ospreys...and...ANGELS... All in the SAME place... At the SAME time! Did you miss them? Did you blink? Or shiver? All of this was at the Thunder Over Utah Air show the weekend of March 16-18 at the new St George airport! Of course, the ‘stars’ of the show were the Blue Angels and, as they were doing their performance, my 23 yr old grandson exclaimed: “Those kids (pilots) are having way too much fun with their toys!” The Angels were preceeded by some very exciting and informa-

tive performances including a demonstration of the F-22 Raptor! This incredible fighter is capable of some of the most seemingly impossible things by a aircraft...IN the air! Later, it did fly-bys with a WW II P51 Mustang which drew applause from the huge crowd. Later a demonstration showed off the abilities of the US Marine Corps unique troop carrying aircraft that can take off like a chopper, yet fly like a conventional aircraft. According to the show’s Director, Kevin Marsh, the Saturday crowd exceeded 30,000 with another 15,000 on a cold, blustery Sunday. (It actually RAINED all around the airport on Sunday...without a DROP falling ON the show!) Rich Stehmeier, Manager of the airport, said that the show was deemed a major success with little or no interuption of commercial traffic. “The crowd actually had several manuevers not seen at other shows”, he said. “Because of the low clouds several fly-overs were a bit different.” “The event benefited the Boy Scouts, Dixie JROTC, Dixie Rotary and the Western Sky Warbirds Museum,” he added. “We’re excited about having the Blue Angels back, probably in 2014,” he concluded.

ASSET PROTECTION AND ESTATE PLANNING Many individuals are concerned about asset protection. By doing estate planning, you can often increase their asset protection. The key to effective asset protection is to structure your affairs in order to minimize exposure to potential lawsuits prior to a threatened claim. If steps are taken to manipulate assets after a threatened claim, there can be potential problems with fraudulent conveyance laws. This article will set forth a few techniques that are important for preserving and planning an estate while emphasizing asset protection. Insurance. It is crucial to review insurance coverage to be certain that it is

adequate. Personal liability umbrellas are relatively inexpensive and are a must. Business Entity. If you own rental property, investment real estate, or business assets you should strongly consider forming a business entity such as a corporation (either an S Corporation or C Corporation) or limited liability company. By forming a business entity, you can shield your personal assets from claims. This is especially important if you have employees. Without a business entity to separate your business affairs and your personal assets, your personal assets would be subject to claims resulting from misdeeds of your employees. Separation of Assets. An important form of asset protection and estate planning is the separation of assets between spouses. Often, it is advisable for one spouse to own the business interests and the other spouse to own the assets

which are less subject to potential creditors. If something does go wrong for the spouse involved in the business, the assets owned by the other spouse should be protected. Exempt Assets. An important form of asset protection is to own assets that are exempt from creditors’ claims. Significantly, personal residences, qualified retirement plans, life insurance and annuities can be exempt from creditor claims. Conclusion. Because most individuals want to protect their assets, it is important to coordinate asset protection efforts with estate planning. By coordinating these efforts, the family’s assets will be better protected from creditors, and estate taxation of the assets can be minimized. Jeffery J.
