CENTRAL UTAH HEALTH CAREER DAY Carrie Torgersen
Suturing, casting, taking blood pressures, and giving injections are activities you expect to see taking place in a hospital. However, recently high school students from south-central Utah attended a Health Career Day at the Sevier Valley Center and had the opportunity to try their hands at all of those skills – and a whole lot more! Sponsored by the Utah Center for Rural Health at Southern Utah University and the Utah Hospital Association, the health career day brought together 120 students from Manti, Gunnison, North Sevier, Richfield, South Sevier, Piute and Wayne High Schools. Students who attended were divided into groups and rotated among 6 handson workshops. At the Medical Technology Workshop, Kendall Willardson from the Laboratory Science department at Sevier Valley Medical Center, explained careers available in the laboratory science field. Students also had the opportunity to do a hands-on blood typing activity. Nurses from Sevier Valley Medical Center taught the participants how to suture. Students were taught basic suture knots and worked
with suturing instruments as they sutured on chicken wings. Pre-medical students from the Rural Health Scholars program at Southern Utah University provided a casting workshop, where participants were taught how to put on a basic plaster cast. Students took turns putting casts on each other, and were then able to take their casts home with them. The Snow College practical nursing program provided a hands-on nursing workshop. Stations were set-up and taught by the nursing faculty and current nursing students. Participants spent time in the nursing department lab and learned how to give injections, take a blood pressure and proper patient care. A respiratory therapy workshop was provided by Weber State University students. Participants learned about respiratory therapy as a career, and were able to use some of the tools and equipment that respiratory therapists use. Students were taught how to intubate, and then given the opportunity to practice on provided dummies. Employees of the Central Utah Public Health Department also attended and
PANGUITCH WEATHER
LOA WEATHER
provided a workshop where students learned about careers in Public Health. In the workshop students learned about different specialty programs and careers available in the public health sector. The Utah Center for Rural Health coordinates these regional career fairs through support from the Utah Hospital Association. According to Dennis Moser, Executive Director for the Utah Center for Rural Health and Southern Utah AHEC, “These career days are used as a way to expose kids from rural areas to health care careers. Rural areas have a harder time recruiting and maintaining their health care workforce. If we can help encourage students from rural areas to pursue health care for their careers, they will be more inclined to come back to rural areas to work.” To see more pictures from the event, or to learn more about summer camps and other activities sponsored by the Utah Center for Rural Health for high school students, please visit www.suu.edu/ahec.

FREMONT RIVER WATERFALL AREA IN CAPITOL REEF NATIONAL PARK CLOSES FOR THE SUMMER SEASON Following three nearfatal incidents that occurred during the 2011 summer season, the National Park Service is temporarily closing the Fremont River waterfall area to public use during the warm weather months of 2012. With the arrival of warmer temperatures, visitors are often attracted to the swimming hole at the base of the falls. Unfortunately, serious and life-threatening conditions currently exist at the waterfall that are not readily apparent to visitors when they enter the water. Hazardous swimming conditions near the waterfall are the result of highly aerated water and the strong recirculating currents in the plunge pool. The water at the base of the falls is highly mixed with air resulting in a significant loss of the buoyancy that is typical of non-aerated water, causing even strong swimmers to sink. In addition, strong currents on the surface of the pool pull swimmers into the falls and into danger. The waterfall located near mile marker 86 on State Highway 24 in Capitol Reef National Park was created in 1962 when the river was rerouted to accommodate the construction of Highway 24. This water feature has, since its construction, been an attractive site for swimmers and recreationists. The dynamics of the waterfall have changed over the years, however, as the river has cut a narrow channel in the soft sandstone. This has increased the velocity of the water at the waterfall and created a hazardous water-filled slot above, and a dangerous plunge pool beneath, the falls. On June 20, 2011, a sixyear-old boy visiting with his family from Wisconsin entered the water, was drawn under the falls, and was quickly pulled under the surface and held there by currents. The boy was under the water for several minutes before his father found him under the surface. When pulled to the shore the boy was not breathing and had no pulse. By coincidence, there were two highly trained medi-

cal professionals also at the waterfall and they rendered assistance. After about one minute of CPR, the boy was revived. An air ambulance helicopter was summoned and he was flown to Salt Lake City and has recovered. Again on July 15, 2011, a twelve-year-old girl from California was pulled under the surface by the strong currents while swimming and remained under the water for approximately three minutes. Noticing the emergency, thirty-three year old Austin Ball from Logan, Utah entered the water to assist. He was quickly overcome by the flow as well and was under the water for nearly two minutes. Both the girl and Ball eventually floated to the surface where bystanders pulled them to shore. Both were not breathing or had pulses. In this instance, CPR was
initiated by a physician who luckily happened to be on scene. Both victims eventually regained consciousness and were flown to hospitals in Provo and Salt Lake City where they recovered. Following the incident Ball stated, “I did not anticipate just how much force the waterfall could generate, and just how turbulent the water could be. I’ve visited this area before and the flow off the waterfall is more concentrated now than it has been in the past, and is obviously more dangerous. The force it generates at its base is too great to escape.” The closure area extends from one hundred yards upstream to one hundred and twenty five yards downstream of the waterfall and includes the waterfall parking area. The seasonal closure will be lifted when the weather becomes too cold for swimming.
Because we don’t think about future generations, they will never forget us. Henrik Tikkanen

E-RATE E-rate is a Federal Government program established in 1996 to help schools and libraries improve internet and telecommunications in their facilities. Schools can receive a discount in these services based on the number of students who are eligible for free and reduced lunch. A strict process exists for schools districts to submit for this federal funding program. In the fall, the district must prepare a technology plan, a Request for Proposals (RFP) on the plan, and file a 470 form. In the spring, the district compiles the bids and presents the bids to the school board for approval. Contracts are then signed and form 471 must be filed. In the past, Garfield School District has received about 72%-76% discounts on internet and telecommunications contracted services. The FCC designates the application process to promote the most cost effective and accurate solutions to be eligible for E-rate. Schools are required to select the vendor with the lowest bid. Districts must post their plans on the USAC web page for 28 days to request RFP from anyone in the world who would like to be a provider of services to facilitate the plan submitted by the district. Last fall, Garfield School District was approached by South Central employees asking us to consider moving from an old Centrex phone system. In September, we started to look at VOIP telephones. VOIP stands for Voice over IP or phone systems that utilize the internet to make long distance and local calls. The District plan was to investigate the costs related to incorporating this type of system. The District’s E-rate plan was to request bids for a VOIP system which would provide a phone in each classroom along with communications between schools without long distance charges. In February, we submitted the 470 form on the USAC web page to generate RFP’s on the project. At the March 15th Board meeting two bids were reviewed to install a VOIP system for the District; the two vendors were Jive Communications and Interface. The District had requested a bid from South Central on a VIOP system but did not receive one before the Board meeting. We realize the importance of trying to support the local business of South Central, but we were at the
end of the 28 day deadline and we had to file for E-rate on the systems we currently had bids for. It should be noted we did file to have South Central as our long distance provider. A discussion still exists between Jive Communications providing VOIP over a South Central system which will need to be resolved in the future independent of the District. The District filed to award the bid to Jive Communications for the VOIP system. If this provider cannot work out the agreement to provide VOIP we will default to our current long distance system. It was never our intentions to leave South Central out of the VOIP bidding process; we just needed a bid which we never received. Superintendent Ben Dalton
ART SHOW IN TROPIC: UTAH’S ROCKS
The monumental rocks in Utah are captured in Jodie Maurer’s paintings, showing in Tropic at the Heritage Center. The paintings reveal the solitude, vibrancy, and colossal mass of the landscape, through expressive strokes in watercolor or thick oil paint. They take you beyond the detail of a photograph, by portraying the character of the land and the adventure it brings. With a palette of five different oranges the paintings show the subtle changes of colors found in the formations. Appreciators comment on the different expressions felt as the lighting on the painting changes. Maurer admires artists Robert Henri and Georgia O’Keeffe not only for the way they painted, but largely for their demeanor towards painting. Henri’s advice to his students sums up this attitude, “Don’t try to paint good landscapes. Try to paint canvases that will show how interesting landscape looks to you—your pleasure in the thing.” Maurer received a B.A. in Fine Arts at Principia College in 2011. Maurer’s paintings will be on display for sale in Tropic at the Heritage Center from 5-8 pm on Saturday, April 14, 2012.

Come and get it! Food cooked in two 10 gallon milk cans was poured in the trough and now dinner is served. It was just one interesting part of the Powell Point and Panguitch District’s annual adult recognition program held March 28th at the Tropic Ward Building. Leave it to Jack Dillon, of Richfield, our District Scout Executive, to make a great event even better. The District Award Recognition ceremony is generally held on an annul basis in each district. However, since Panguitch had not had one for several years, the two districts decided to combine their programs for this year. A big thanks goes to District Chairmen Alan Torgerson, of Escalante, and Denny Orton, Panguitch, and especially District Commissioners Carlon Johnson, Henrieville, and Lewis Barney, Hatch, for a well planned program. President Mark Gubbler, and Executive Dave Pack, were guest speakers from the Utah National Parks Council headquarters in Orem. The 2nd Miler Award is presented for going above and beyond what is normally expected in helping boy scouts progress. Several were presented to individuals enrolled in various units within each district. Recognized as 2nd Milers were: Lynn Armstrong, Cub Scout Den Leader, unit 681, Panguitch 3rd Ward. Michelle Crofts, Cubmaster, unit 681, Panguitch 3rd Ward Charles Dalton, longtime Scouter, unit 662, Cirlceville 1st Ward Cary Deccio, Scoutmaster, unit 679, Tropic Ward Cade Harland, 11 year old Scout Leader, unit 680, Panguitch 2nd Ward Eric & Tammy Houston, Den Leaders, unit 680, Panguitch 2nd Ward Jerry Jorgensen, Aviation Merit Badge Counselor, unit 681, Panguitch 3rd Ward Kelly Lee, Cub Scout Leader, unit 680, Panguitch 2nd Ward Jessica Miller, Cub Scout Den Leader, unit 681, Panguitch 3rd Ward Lee & Julianne Mullenaux, Cub Leaders, unit 680, Panguitch 2nd Ward Mike Sarles, Charter Representative, unit 680, Panguitch 2nd Ward Jerry Taylor, Charter Representative, unit 676, Escalante 1st Ward Alberto Vasquez, Venturer Leader, unit 681, Panguitch 3rd Ward Justin Woolsey, 11 year old Scout Leader, unit 681, Panguitch 3rd Ward Generally only one person is presented the District Award of Merit each year. However, since the Panguitch District had not given one in recent years, three were awarded this year, in addition to the one awarded from the Powell Point District. The honor is given to an outstanding adult that year after year has proven invaluable in making scouting a special experience for boys in his unit or area. Recipients of the District Awards of Merit this year were: Scott Campbell, Scoutmaster, unit 681, Panguitch 3rd Ward Eric Syrett, Charter Representative, unit 679, Tropic Ward Wade Westwood, Scoutmaster, unit 662, Circleville 2nd Ward Timothy Smith, Cub Scout Webelos Leader, unit 680, Panguitch 2nd Ward The Powell Point District currently has 178 boy scouts registered. The Panguitch District has 261 registered. Thanks again, scout leaders, for the difference you make in our boys lives.

By Cynthia Kimball Sometimes patients can talk to other patients. For example, before I had my prophylactic double mastectomy latissimus dorsi breast reconstruction surgery, I wanted to talk to someone who had had it done. “Does it hurt?” I asked this one patient. “Yes, actually, it was quite painful,” she said. “Really?” “But I would do it all over again knowing that,” she affirmed. “Okay, thanks, I really appreciate your honesty.” “And it was quite long.” “Yeah, they told me that. Something like 9-10 hours, right?” “Right.” Talking to this patient, even though it was over the phone, really put things into perspective for me. Just knowing that someone else had gone through what I was about to, and had survived and would do things again, made a huge difference to me. Yet, speaking to her face to face would have been even better. And, remembering that, I make it a point, when a patient is referred to me, to do just that. One time, actually, I met with a patient at a coffee shop. After we introduced ourselves and got something to eat and drink, we sat down. “So, how are you, Susan*?” I asked her. But before she could say anything she burst into tears. When she was eventually able to compose herself, enough to speak, she said, “I’m just afraid.” Well, come to find
“…Opportunities Brilliantly Disguised as Impossible Situations”
out, Susan, was actually terrified. “I’m afraid of cancer. I’m afraid I’m positive [for one of the breast and ovarian cancer mutations, BRCA] and I’m afraid to die.” Oh my goodness, I thought. She had been playing these negative thoughts over and over and over again and they were literally making her depressed and unable to function successfully in her day to day life. Her mother had been diagnosed with cancer and tested positive for BRCA. And instead of Susan finding out her own results, she just assumed the worst on everything beating herself up day after day after day with these negative thoughts. Essentially, Susan had self diagnosed herself and was living in fear instead of in hope. After we talked some more, I asked, “So what would your life look like with cancer?” I later asked, “What would your life look like if you were BRCA+?” And then I asked, “What would your life look like if you were BRCA-?” I think each one of these questions took her by surprise –as she looked at me wide-eyed initially-- yet she was able to talk about her fears openly instead of cycling them repeatedly in her mind with nothing but negative outcomes. And she seemed overjoyed to converse with someone who had breast cancer and is BRCA + and to see that I, along with four of my sisters, who are also BRCA+, are happy, healthy and living very fulfilled lives as demonstrated from
my countenance and the pictures I was showing her. Susan’s challenge was that she was bottled with fear when she needed to be bottled with hope. By the end of our meeting, however, Susan’s countenance had gone from fear to hope. She was smiling, laughing and could actually see a light at the end of the tunnel. I don’t attribute her shift in attitude and outlook to me, but I do give all credit to an all knowing and loving Heavenly Father who allowed me to get cancer and test BRCA+ so that He could use me to do good in this world. Even in a coffee shop. Even to someone I did not know on the other side of our nation who I may never see again in this life. Yet, I do now know that miracles come in opportunities disguised as trials. “We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations,” said American writer and clergyman, Charles R. Swindoll (ThinkExist.com, 2012). Therefore, what are your opportunities in disguise and how will you use them from this point forward to do His work? *Name change Cynthia Kimball is a professional speaker and trainer through her company Every1Counts, LLC, and a doctoral student in Workforce Education Leadership.

DC CABS
Anyone who’s ever ridden in a cab in Washing ton DC knows they’re some of the world’s most brazen drivers. Oddly enough though, their current accident rate isn’t all that bad. One day I asked one of the drivers the reason for that. “Easy,” he said. “all the really bad drivers are dead now.”
Rachel asked her mother for a dollar to give to a little old lady in the park. Kathy, impressed by her daughters’s kindness, gave her the dollar. “There you are Rachel,” said Kathy. “But, tell me, isn’t the little old lady able to work any more?” “Oh she works!” was Rachel’s reply, “She sells candy!”
MAGIC CAR

BRYCE VALLEY AREA NEWS Due to a mess up on the internet this weeks news will also have the article from last week. Sorry about that but we cannot figure out what happened. Enjoy. Saturday, March 24th would have been the 90th birthday of Rella Ott Alvey. Her family had planned a celebration party for her and were very excited about it. Instead Rella went home to Heaven to live with her Heavenly Father and be with her family that had gone on before. The birthday party became a celebration of life for Rella. What a beautiful life it was. She could make a room light up by just being there and always had a wonderful smile on her face. She could make you feel very important with her hugs and smiles and hearing her say “I Love You!”. Her countenance just shone with love of the Savior, the Gospel and her fellowmen. If you had to describe an angel on earth then Rella fit that description. Everyone who knew her loved her and she will be missed by all of us. I would like to take a page from her book and my life will be so much richer for having known Rella. We want the family to know how much we all loved Rella and that we keep them in our thoughts and prayers. April 11th at 7:00 P.M. will be the Relief Society Social and Birthday Party. It is for sisters only and should be a fun event. Steve Clark was released from the Escalante Stake High Council so he could take on his new calling as Bishop of the Cannonville Ward. Filling that position is Marty Rich. Congratulations to both of you. Eva Dean Francisco is very happy this week. For four and one half days her little baby, a white dog named “Angel” went missing. She had received this dog as a gift from her daughter Robin when she was in the hospital and needing some encouragement. She was delighted when Earl Slack told her he had found her dog in the water hole where he turns on his sprinklers. She had fallen down there and luckily was unhurt. She was welcomed home into open arms. Guess she won’t go wandering for awhile. The Cub Scout Pinewood Derby was Thursday, March 29th at the Tropic Ward. Weigh in was at 5:30 P.m. The Wolf Den of Cubs will only have one den meeting in April due to conflicts and spring break. Group A will meet April 17th and Group B will meet April 24th, both at 3:00 P.M. at the BVES Library. Congratulations to Troy Sidwell on becoming a teacher in the Cannonville Ward. The Lion’s Club held their District Meeting and we will have more to report on that later. Sandy Johnson had 140 people in attendance to their family retreat. Well I guess we all know by now how much I know about running the mile and the two mile. I was so excited about my granddaughter Cambry finishing first in both that I made her time on the two mile REALLY fast. It was 5.55 but it was for the mile and not the two mile. Sorry I just couldn’t

This Conference weekend our grandson, Jordan Isaac Jensen was sworn into the Bishopric of his ward in Logan. He is the second counselor and we are pleased as can be. Jordan and his wife are expecting their first baby on May 10th and now at 23 his is in the Bishopric in a regular ward, not a college ward.

Be their right at 10:00 A.M. or you will miss out on finding the eggs for your basket. The date is Saturday 7 April. The Bryce Canyon City Fire station is almost finished and it looks great. What an asset to the new city this is. Gary and Sandy Johnson held their 15th annual Lifferth family reunion at Ruby’s Inn this past weekend. Everyone had a great time and appreciated the great hospitality of Ruby’s Inn. Sandy was grateful that 9 of her 12 siblings and their families were able to attend, along with numerous nieces and nephews and their families. Gary and Sandy’s children, Hunter & Rachael Sheedy, Brady & Ruth Carter and family, Brady & Sarah Bradshaw and family, and Nathan and Essie Rigby and family were also in attendance. There was plenty of activities to keep everyone busy, hiking, swimming, visiting, and a baseball game. Many family members were able to attend church in the Henrieville Ward on Sunday. Sandy Francisco and her parents Charlie and Eva Dean Francisco traveled up to Salt Lake City to attend the wedding of grandson, Charlie Lloyd Mortensen and Jene’ Elizabeth Yochim on March 31st. Charlie is the son of Lloyd and Helena Mortensen and Helena is the Francisco’s daughter. REMEMBER this week is Spring Break and there is no School. Have a great week and be safe.

HOOFBEATS by Samuel Cloud Events this week have been packed and most significant beyond all the standard proportions, and I find myself sadly left behind in their wake. I cannot do even a partial justice of all the events that are transpiring, but I shall do my duty and scribble out some literature anyway. First and foremost of the highlights of this week is the FCCLA state competition. The participants had the opportunity to present their projects, practice their skills of demonstrations, and enjoy a number of various workshops and activities. Specific details are yet to come, but the word on the street indicates a good performance by all involved. Competition this year was very tough, but our people did well. Also in the news is the start of the track season. Meets are taking place every Saturday for the next month or two, and the track team is busily preparing themselves for these weekly competitions. They are each earnestly endeavoring to strengthen themselves so they can qualify for ultimate uberness of the BYU invitational at the end of the season. It’s a bit early to tell much about the upcoming season, but hopes are high for a successful year. The slower side of athletics is also getting its start for the year. The puzzling sport of golf is off to an official start, and here as in everywhere else, the participants are hard at work perfecting their skills and readying to cream their fellow rivals. The academic side of things is progressing nicely as well. The 4th quarter has officially begun, and time is short for all grades as they race towards the end of the year. Ed-net classes are progressing nicely, and the standard classes are zipping along as well. Against all odds, it seems like the block schedule has managed to succeed. Uncertainty abounds as to the status of next year’s schedule, but for now, at least, things are going fine. It should be noted that despite all of these significant landmarks, each ringing in the spring in their own peculiar way, the biggest declaration of the upcoming season is neither academic nor athletic. The Junior Proms are upon us. All over the state, Juniors are fanatically scrambling around, desperate to outdo their many rivals. And while our Junior class is still a little behind schedule, they are just as determined to make everything as utterly perfect as they can. As such, I am obliged to send an official invite to all the high-schoolers and recent alumni of the area to “come and behold our bounteous glory.” (No, they didn’t actually say that. I made that part up.) However, it should be noted that participation is definitely appreciated. The date is set for April, Friday the 13th. While those poor souls who are suffering from an unfortunate bout
of paraskevedekatriaphobia should probably not attend, we ask all others to “risk the doubting s of the day / and come and have fun anyway.” Just because. And despite the incredible length of this article and the incredible brevity that I have given to all of the individual events, the best is still yet to come. In precisely four days, we will have the opportunity to participate in one of the mostanticipated events of the spring academic calendar. The event is ....... (drum roll please) ........... SPRING BREAK!!! YES!! And not just any spring break. This year, the administration has seen fit to grant us poor souls no less than a complete week of our-of-school fun. Happiness is in the air, as well as a overpowering feeling of love and forgiveness towards those who have granted us this chance to relax and get bored and actually remember the positive parts of school. There are some major plans afoot throughout the valley, many of them having to do with the recently releases of cinema. It should be fun for sure. And now, most regretfully, it is once again time for me to close. With luck I shall be back again next week. Farewell. The Bryce Valley Elementary 5th and 6th graders went to Brian Head to have a great ski trip. This is an annual trip and they had a lot of fun and all of them came home safe and sound this year. BVHS CHOIR ... Nathan Platt Here is the information from the Region Music Festival: The Bryce Valley High School Choir attended the Region Music Festival in Milford on Tuesday.

FYI PANGUITCH By: Mack Oetting ~ E-mail: mackoetting @gmail.com HIPPITY HOP, GIANT EASTER EGG HUNT, TOMORROW, FRIDAY AT THE CITY PARK, AT 10 AM. AGES ALL THRU 6 GRADERS. Because of school being out all week, this is just a reminder to all parents and grandparents to bring the little ones down to enjoy the fun. There will be prizes, candy and the Easter Bunny there to greet the kids and for picture taking moments. This event starts promptly at 10:00 am, so don’t snooze or your kids will loose. The Extended Care Center residences at the GMH celebrated Easter early ( March 31- Saturday) The families and especially the children hunted for Easter eggs, partied with the residence’s and had their pictures taken with the Easter Bunny. This is an annual event with most all of the staff contributing to its successful. Students from the high schools ( both PHS and BV) helped hide eggs and put out candy and prizes. The Easter Bunny remains anonymous. Teri, Sharlee and Brenda gave their all to the preparation as well as the implementation of the event. A special thanks to them. Jean Julander decorates the Extended Care facility for events on a monthly schedule. Easter is no exception. Residence’s look forward to the decorations and Jean never disappoints them! Christmas came early to the Care and Share, because of the Boy Scouts food drive pickup. Charlene Ancira reported that the good people of Panguitch donated over 1500# of goods. This is a particular slow time of year both for food out of SLC and many people out of work. Charlene and all the folks that run this service would like to thank all for the kindness from the locals. Take a bow Panguitch. FCCLA club just returned from Layton and the Students were very proud of
their efforts, all seemed to be satisfied with all the work that they put in on this endeavor. Ms Caine and Laura Adams put in a lot of effort to prepare the student for the business world. Again this exposure to business situations, stresses to the student that they can compete at any level. All of the students come away winners at this competition and I will let you know about any medals that were won, next week.

ESCALANTE NEWS
Marlene Haws Escalante City will be having an Annual Spring Clean-up day for everyone on April 12, 2012. It will begin at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 12, 2012. You are invited to meet on Main Street at the Marquee, at the intersection of Main and 1st West. Come prepared to work, with your shovels, rakes, gloves, etc. You will be given an assignment at the park, cemetery, Main Street, etc. and after your job is completed, there will be a barbeque at the pavilion. This can be a fun time as well as a very productive one, so if you can possibly lend a hand it would be very much appreciated. Later on, a few days or weeks down the line, there will be another day or two when you can clean your own yards and, if you have no way of hauling off your weeds etc. a city truck will come around and haul it off for you. So write this on your calendar and let’s get everything cleaned up so we can be proud of our little city this summer. Envision Escalante is proud to announce that, from 50 entries, the winner of the Escalante Slogan and Logo contest is……….. Lori Torgerson from the Escalante Elementary School. Lori’s concept included Canyons, Trees, the Sun and the famous Escalante “E” and will be used to create street banners and bumper stickers. The slogan is “Escalante, where we call home.” Envision Escalante will proudly award Lori a $100.00 prize. They wish to thank all the other folks who entered into this contest with all their great ideas. I have to apologize to Robert and Louise Liston. Last week when I told of the arrival of Brooke and Brett Palmers baby girl (whose name is Navy DelRae, by the way) I left them off the great grandparents list. Sorry about that! Peggy Soren invited a few neighbors and friends in last week for an “old fashioned tea party”. Those who came were: Rolain Alvey, Margean Schow, Beth Smith, Ardis Christensen, Julie Ford, Geraldine Liston, Deon Alvey, Marlene Haws and Marian Casse’.

BRYCE CANYON WELCOMES SPRING VISITORS
Early spring is perhaps the most beautiful time to visit Bryce Canyon National Park. Melting snow on the colorful red hoodoos create a beautiful contrast. The parks snow pack is rapidly melting on the north end of the plateau resulting in average daily temperatures 40 – 55° F and lows in the mid 20’s at night. Fairyland and Paria View roads remain unplowed for visitors wishing to cross-country ski and snow shoe. All other park roads and viewpoints are open, though the main road to Rainbow Point may be temporarily closed due to snowstorms. Visitors are reminded to prepare for winter driving conditions and to dress warmly for the cold temperatures at high elevation. Day hiking trails are open, but may be icy and muddy. Hiking boots or snow boots with traction devices, as well as hiking poles, are highly recommended. The Wall Street side of the Navajo Loop Trail is closed during the winter and will open later in the spring. Cross-country ski trails in the park are on ungroomed 2-track trails. The slope between the Plateau Rim and 7600 foot contour elevation is closed to skiing, snowboarding, sledding or sliding devices. Below the rim, cross-country skiing is permitted on the Underthe- Rim Trail and Riggs Spring Loop. Park rangers present geology talks daily and evening and night sky programs on Saturdays at the Visitor Center auditorium. The Visitor Center is open daily from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM and extending to 6:00 PM on April 1st. The Bryce Canyon Lodge, restaurant, gift shop, general store and public showers/laundry will reopen on Saturday, March 31st. Horseback rides will resume around April 1st once trails are free of snow and ice. For more information, please visit the park’s website at: www.nps.gov/brca or call 435-834-5322.

GETTING IT RIGHT BEFORE RETIREMENT: ROTH IRA 101
Did you know that many people spend more time planning their vacation than planning for retirement? Although there are many ways to save for your retirement, if you are like most people, you aren’t taking full advantage of them. For example, do you understand the basics of a Roth IRA? If not, here’s a little Roth IRA 101. Right now, you may be wondering why you should invest in a Roth IRA if you currently have a retirement plan with your employer. The Roth IRA has many benefits that other retirement plans don’t have, and chief among them is the fact that any investment earnings may accumulate taxfree. In other words, your Roth IRA has the opportunity to grow without incurring any taxes and can be distributed to you tax free, if certain conditions are met. While there are advantages to owning a Roth IRA, there are also some rules to think about before you decide this is the account for you. First, not everyone can take advantage of a Roth IRA. You or your spouse must have earned income or compensation – this includes wages, tips or salary. However, be aware that earned income or compensation does not include rental, interest, dividend, pension annuity or deferred compensation income. Second, your modified adjusted gross income cannot exceed certain limits to make a full contribution. For single people, your modified adjusted gross income must be less than $107,000 and $169,000 for married couples filing jointly. Contributions you make to the account are not tax deductible and may be withdrawn any time without tax or penalty which may provide you with needed flexibility. But before taking withdrawals from your Roth IRA you need to determine if you are receiving a “qualified distribution.” Any withdrawal that is not a “qualified distribution” can result in income taxes and IRS penalties. For example, any earnings on your contributions will be subject to income taxes should you decide to withdraw them prior to age 59 ½ and the five-year holding period (contact your state Department of Revenue for state taxation rules). In addition, withdrawal of these earnings prior to age 59 ½ are also generally subject to a 10% IRS penalty. Tax and penalty free withdrawal of your Roth IRA earnings for “qualified distributions” can be made once a five-year holding period is satisfied and one of the following applies: you have reached age 59 ½, you have become disabled, the funds are used for a first-time home purchase (subject to a $10,000 lifetime limit) or the funds are distributed to a beneficiary after your death. After thinking over the rules, if you are eligible for a Roth IRA you may be wondering how much you can contribute. For 2011, you may make regular contributions that do not exceed $5,000. If you are 50 or older, you can also make “catch-up” contributions of up to $1,000 per year for a total contribution of $6,000. A couple of other important items worth noting – contributions to your employer’s retirement plan do not exclude you from making contributions to a Roth IRA, and owning a traditional IRA does not prevent you from setting up a Roth IRA either (although contributing to a traditional IRA for the same year will limit the amount you can contribute to a Roth IRA). Whether or not you decide a Roth IRA is the right retirement account for you, it’s always smart to plan ahead and save money for the future. Never underestimate the importance of saving for retirement and using a variety of investment vehicles to achieve your goals.

TORREY NEWS Uncle Hal Covington passed away last Wednesday morning of an undetermined lung disease. Hal passed away peacefully and surrounded by family. Hal Covington was a long time fixture and as recognizable as the Main Street Trees in Torrey. He was easy to talk to and always had a story to tell, and once he started telling them to you, you knew you were going to be there a while. Hal’s folks, June and Florence Covington, bought the Wayne Umpire (the present day Chuckwagon store) from Grand Pa Port (Ephriam P. Pectol) in 1943, and added their name on the store front. They remodeled the upstairs of the store into an apartment where they and their children lived. Hal often shared fond memories of the early days living above the store. When Hal would begin to tell you stories of the early days, his eyes would glaze over as if he were drifting back in time. Listening to him tell a story was like really being there. The sights and sounds of early Torrey came alive in your mind and played out like an old scratched up black and white movie. Old men like Charlie Lee and Grand Pa Don, sat around in the store on Main Street spitting, weaving yarns longer than your leg and avoiding work. Hal once told me, “life was slow motion in those days; there wasn’t no need to get in a hurry when there was good conversations to be had”. Hal’s passing has been cause for much reminiscing among folks in Torrey this week. Everyone seems to have a Hal story; I know I have some and I will always cherish them. Lucky for us, Hal took the time to write his stories down for all to enjoy (a good lesson we should all learn) and it was his way to make sure we never forget the way things were. Hal Covington was a wonderful human being, a good friend to all, and he will be sorely missed. Thanks for the memories Hal! On 29 March 2012, at the Camp Radiare Torrey DUP Building on Main Street in Torrey, the Torrey Town Council held a “public hearing”, to hear comments on the proposed Torrey Town Annexation Policy Plan as presented and prepared by the Torrey Town Planning and Zoning Committee, and
Adus F. Dorsey II
required by the Great State of Utah. The near complete Torrey Town Council heard comments from “out of town” residents and some “in town” land owners about the proposed “Annexation Policy Plan”. Some vocal Torrey council members offered their personal experiences, ideas and annexation insights. In the audience attendance, there was only one “out of town, Wayne County resident” that expressed resistance of annexation and requested more clarification on increased town participation and taxation. No gun shots were fired, no insults slung, and in general the Torrey Town Annexation Policy Plan “Public Meeting” was considered to be another success. There was some insinuation, that the Loa Elementary School Spring Festival celebration might have been a scheduling conflict. Either way, everyone that attended the “Torrey Annexation Policy Plan Public Hearing”, walked away alive, and the Wayne County Swat Team and Wayne County Sheriff’s department surely were relieved. Those in attendance at the “Spring Festival” enjoyed a fine performance by the talented Loa Elementary school children. In upcoming weeks, Jones & DeMille Engineering of Richfield, Utah, Torrey Town’s hired engineering firm, will be scouring the area surveying, exploring and making four wheeler tracks all over Torrey Town’s water service area. As part of a 1.6 million dollar grant / loan agreement with the Community Impact Board (CIB), Torrey Town will be upgrading many mountain spring supply lines and water line supply equipment. Also as part of the Torrey Town water project, isolation, pressure sustaining / reducing, and air valves will be installed to increase the serviceability, and provide consistent water supply pressures and increased fire protection. This important 2012 culinary water improvement project is part of Torrey Town’s long-term commitment to continually seek, explore and acquire Utah State and available grant funds to improve the Torrey Town water delivery system in an attempt to enhance efficiency and constantly
improve fire protection and reduce area residents home owners insurance costs. The present Torrey Town administration has consistently expressed a desire to explore new ways to independently pay “our own way”, according to the powers that be. “Annexation into the Torrey Town limits is a way to do just that”, as stated by members of the Torrey Town planning and zoning committee. Torrey Town graciously supplies extended services to more residents and businesses outside of the Torrey Town limits than actually exist in the Torrey Town limits, according to Torrey Town Public Records. The Sand Creek Irrigation Company turned water into the pipes of Torrey on Friday the 30th of March, under the watchful eye of President Dean Bogedahl. By Saturday morning sprinklers all over town were making morning rainbows; a sure sign things are going to be turning green soon. Can you say Hallelujah!! The Torrey Canal also saw water flowing for the first time since last fall. Jed Pace and his crew, all in waders, stayed ahead of the flowing water clearing the way leaves and canal debris as fast as was humanly possible. Thanks Jed for your dedicated efforts, your reward will surely be awaiting you in heaven; hopefully folks along the canal are appreciative too. The yearly tradition of “turning the water in” has been taking place since the beginning of time; it is the elixir of life and manna from heaven, and a natural resource that never should be taken for granted. In an attempt to keep Torrey Town debris free, property owners and ditch users are requested to remove any and all debris from town property. Your attention to this detail would be appreciated. For years publicly minded Torrey Town residents have been painstakingly picking up Keystone Light beer cans intentionally strewn about town. A reward is being offered for any information about the “Keystone Light Litterbug or bugs” true identity. A larger reward is being offered for a picture of the “Keystone Light Litterbug” in action, and a 30 box of Keystone Light will be rewarded to the culprit if he cleans up his mess and turns himself in.

PUBLIC INVITED TO GLEN CANYON DAM LTEMP ALTERNATIVES DEVELOPMENT MEETING
The public is invited to participate in a two-day meeting on alternatives being considered for inclusion in the Glen Canyon Dam Long Term Experimental and Management Plan Environmental Impact Statement being prepared by the Bureau of Reclamation and the National Park Service. The meeting will be held on April 4 and 5 at the High Country Conference Center located at 201 West Butler Avenue Flagstaff, AZ 86001. The preliminary draft alternatives being considered for evaluation will be presented and discussed at the meeting hosted by Reclamation and the NPS. Stakeholders and other attendees who have alternate development proposals should have those ideas fleshed out and ready to present. Power point slides and posters are welcome. Those who RSVP will have their presentation listed on the meeting agenda. Possible changes to Glen Canyon Dam operations and other actions by the De-
partment of the Interior will be evaluated as alternatives in the LTEMP EIS. Alternatives to be considered in the EIS must meet the purpose and need of the LTEMP. The EIS will document and evaluate the impacts of the alternatives. The EIS is expected to lead to a long-term plan that could determine changes in water release patterns from Glen Canyon Dam and also define a framework for continued experimentation leading to an improved knowledge base and protection of resources. Dam operations, and related actions being considered, have the potential to affect hydroelectricity production, beaches for river recreation, native fish and other aspects of the Colorado River ecosystem including plants, animals, and archeological sites in Grand Canyon National Park and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The plan will ensure that releases from the dam and other actions being considered will meet the goals of
protecting the resources of the Grand Canyon and Glen Canyon while continuing to supply water and power for communities, agriculture and industry. More information on this meeting and other project news will be announced through social media (Reclamation, the NPS Intermountain Region, and the Grand Canyon Twitter feeds [#gcltemp] and Facebook pages) and on the project website: http:// ltempeis.anl.gov. To have your name added to the mailing list for future information, visit the Glen Canyon LTEMP EIS website (http://ltempeis. anl.gov) listed below.

SUPER BALL (Not BOWL) TRIVIA (Or...how the SUPER BOWL got it’s NAME) A SuperBall (originally Super Ball) or bouncy ball is a toy, invented in 1964 by chemist Norman Stingley by compressing a synthetic rubber material under high pressure. It is an extremely elastic ball made of Zectron, which contains the synthetic rubber polymer polybutatienne, as well as hydrated silica, zinc oxide, stearic acid, and other ingredients with sulfur at a temperature of 165 degrees Celsius and at a pressure of 80 atmospheres (1,175 psi). The Super Ball has an amazingly high coefficient of restitution . Dropped from shoulder level, Super Balls snapped nearly all the way back; thrown down by an average adult, it can leap over a three-story building. Toys similar to SuperBalls are more generally known as bouncy balls , a term which covers other more or less similar balls by different manufacturers with different formulations Toys similar to SuperBalls are more generally known asbouncey balls, a term which covers other more or less similar balls by different manufacturers with different formulations. After Stingley invented the synthetic rubber, he tried to find uses for it and someone to manufacture it. He offered his invention to the Bettis Rubber Company (for whom he worked at the time). They turned it down because the material was not very durable. So, he took it to the toy company, Wham-O and they worked on developing a more durable version. This version is still manufactured by Wham-O. “It took us nearly two years to iron the kinks out of Super Ball before we produced it.” according to Richard Knerr, President of Wham-O. “It always had that marvelous springiness.... But it had a tendency to fly apart. We licked that with a very highpressure technique for forming it.” Soon they were selling millions When the SuperBall was first introduced, it became ahuge fad. Peak production was over 170,000 superballs per day. By December 1965 over six million had been sold, and US Presidential adviser McGeorge Bundy had five dozen superballs shipped to the for the amusement of the staff. Knowing that fads are often short-lived, Kerr said “Each Super Ball bounce is 92% as high as the last. If our sales don’t come down any faster than that, we’ve got it made.” Initially the full size Super Ball sold for ninety-eight cents at retail; by the end of 1966 its colorful miniature versions sold for as little as ten cents in vending machines. In the late 1960s Wham-O made a “giant” superball, roughly the size of a bowling ball, as a promotional stunt. It fell from the 23rd story window of an Australian hotel (or some reports say, from the roof) bounced back up to the 15th floor and, when t came back down, it destroyed a parked convertible car. The composer Alcides Lanza , in his composition Plectros III (1971), specified that the performer should use a pair of Superballs on sticks as mallets with which to strike and rub the strings and case of a piano. Lanza purchased several SuperBalls in 1965 as toys for his son, but soon he started experimenting with the sounds they made when rubbed along the frame or strings of a piano. Several years later, Plectros III resulted. After watching his children play with a Super Ball, Lamar Hunt, founder of the America Football League, coined the term SUPER BOWL. In a July 25, 1966, letter to NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle, Hunt wrote, “I have kiddingly called it the ‘Super Bowl,’ which obviously can be improved upon.” Although the leagues’ owners decided on the name “AFL-NFL Championship Game,” the media immediately picked up on Hunt’s “Super Bowl” name, which would become official beginning with the third annual game.

DO YOU HAVE AN ESTATE PLAN? The simple answer to the above question is y e s . Even if you have never signed a will or trust, you have an estate plan. Some of you may be asking, “How?” The answer is the state has a “default estate plan” for those without their own. In Utah, if you die without an estate plan, the law provides that your entire estate will be distributed to your spouse if he or she is alive unless you have children from a prior marriage. If you do not have a surviving spouse, the estate will be distributed to your children and if a child predeceases you, then to that
child’s children. If you have no surviving children or grandchildren (commonly called your “issue”), then your estate will be distributed to other relatives. If you have a surviving spouse and children from a prior marriage, one-half of your estate will be distributed to your surviving spouse and one-half to your children. Although the state “default estate plan” attempts to represent what most people would want to do with their estate if they had done their own estate planning, it may not be what you want. There are many concerns about relying on the state’s “default estate plan.” If you rely on the state’s “default estate plan,” your desires may not be met when you have children from a prior marriage. As previously stated, the
state’s “default estate plan” provides that one-half of your estate will go to children from a prior marriage and the other one-half to your surviving spouse. Often, it may be desirable to allow the surviving spouse to have a lifetime interest in all or a part of your estate until his or her death and at that time the estate could be distributed to your children. Additionally, if you marry later in life, you may desire that all your assets be distributed to your children from a prior marriage because your surviving spouse has sufficient assets of his or her own. Hopefully, you can see that although we may all have an estate plan, it is very beneficial and sometimes crucial that you take the time and effort to develop your own estate plan and not rely on the “default estate plan” established by the state legislature.
