A NOTE ON PUBLIC EDUCATION ....by This years Utah State Legislature recently concluded and in the end 1203 bills on all topics were passed. Of those bills, 66 deal with pubic education and another 10 concern higher education. This legislative activity brings to mind the great changes that have taken place over the years in public education. The changes have been so commonplace and so great in number we rarely consider the overall impact they have on teachers and administrators in our schools; or, the effects on our children. Jamie Vollmer has explored this issue in great detail. Mr. Vollmer is not a professional educator. He became involved with school reform after careers in law and manufacturing. He worked in the firm of former United States Congressman William Cramer until 1985 when he relocated to Iowa to become director of franchise operations for the Great Midwestern Ice Cream Company. The company was proclaimed by People magazine to make the “Best Ice Cream in America!” He ultimately became the company’s president. Once a harsh critic, Jamie Vollmer has become an articulate friend of America’s public schools. He has spent the last twenty years working with school districts, education associations, foundations, and chambers of commerce across the nation to halt the erosion of public trust and build support for America’s public schools. Jamie wrote what is now known has “Vollmer’s List: The Increasing Burden’s Placed on America’s Schools.” The following is Mr. Vollmer’s document. From the beginning of my journey through the land of public education, I was shocked by how much we had added to the curriculum since the first schools were established. In order to keep track of the additions, I developed a decade-by-decade list of all the academic, social, and health responsibilities that have been heaped upon our schools. I called my work product the “Increas-
ing Burden on America’s Schools,” but it has since become known across the country simply as Vollmer’s List. I found that for a long time we added nothing. The Massachusetts Puritans who started it all assumed that families and churches bore the major responsibility for raising a child. Their mandate to the teachers was simple: teach basic reading, some writing and rudimentary math skills, and cultivate values that serve a democratic society (some history and civics were implied). In the mid 1700s, Benjamin Franklin added some science and geography, but the curriculum remained focused for 260 years. At the beginning of the twentieth century, however, politicians, professors, business leaders, and members of the clergy began to see public schools as a logical site for both the assimilation of immigrants and the social engineering of the citizens of the new industrial age. The policy elite began to expand the curriculum and assign additional duties. That trend has accelerated ever since. From 1900 to 1910, we shifted to the school responsibilities related to: Nutrition Immunization Health (Activities in the health arena multiply every year.) From 1910 to 1930, we added: Physical education (including organized athletics) The Practical Arts/Domestic Science/Home economics (including sewing and cooking) Vocational education (including industrial and agricultural education) In the 1940s, we added: Business education (including typing, shorthand, and bookkeeping) Art and music Speech and drama Half-day kindergarten School lunch programs (We take this for granted today, but it was a huge step to shift to the schools the job of feeding America’s children one third of their daily meals.)

tion In the 1950s, we added: Expanded science and math education Safety education Driver’s education Expanded music and art education Stronger foreign language requirements Sex education (Topics continue to escalate.) In the 1960s, we added: Advanced Placement programs Head Start Title I Adult education Consumer education (purchasing resources, rights and responsibilities) Career education (occupational options, entry level skill requirements) Peace, leisure, and recreation education [Loved those sixties.] In the 1970s, the breakup of the American family accelerated, and we added: Drug and alcohol abuse education Parenting education (techniques and tools for healthy parenting) Behavior adjustment classes (including classroom and communication skills) Character education Special education (mandated by federal government) Title IX programs (greatly expanded athletic programs for girls) Environmental education Women’s studies African-American heritage education School breakfast programs (Now some schools feed America’s children twothirds of their daily meals throughout the school year and all summer. Sadly, these are the only decent meals some children receive.) In the 1980s, the floodgates opened, and we added: Keyboarding and computer education Global education Multicultural/Ethnic education Nonsexist education English-as-a-second-language and bilingual education Teen pregnancy awareness Hispanic heritage education Early childhood education Jump Start, Early Start, Even Start, and Prime Start Full-day kindergarten Preschool programs for children at risk After-school programs for children of working parents Alternative education in all its forms Stranger/danger education Antismoking education Sexual abuse prevention education Expanded health and psychological services Child abuse monitoring (a legal requirement for all teachers) In the 1990s, we added: Conflict resolution and peer

It also does not include the explosion of standardized testing and test prep activities, or any of the onerous reporting requirements imposed by the federal government, such as four-year adjusted cohort graduation rates, parental notification of optional supplemental services, comprehensive restructuring plans, and reports of Adequate Yearly Progress. It’s a ponderous list. Each item has merit, and all have their ardent supporters, but the truth is that we have added these responsibilities without adding a single minute to the school calendar in six decades. No generation of teachers and administrators in the history of the world has been told to fulfill this mandate: not just teach children, but raise them!

STUDENTS LEARN ABOUT THEIR NATIONAL MONUMENT
Everyone loves to discover something new, and learning is most enjoyable when it is taught by skilled professionals who are excited about their field of study, and when students participate in the leaning experience through handson activities. This is the type of educational experience that the Grand Staircase Escalante Partners (GSEP) provides in communities -- from Page, Arizona to Boulder, Utah – surrounding the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM). On March 15th, students and teachers from Big Water Elementary were invited to visit the Kanab Visitor Center. GSEP staff, Monument personnel, and GSEP volunteers set up field stations in archaeology, fossils and geology, and native cultural arts. At each station students were participants in learning and encouraged to ask questions, handle 75-million old fossils collected from the National Monument, and learn to throw an atlatl (a spear-throwing device that pre-dates the bow and arrow). These types of learning events offer a tangible sense of the prehistoric worlds and cultures that once existed at the National Monument. On March 23rd and 28th, learning events were presented to over 170 students, teachers, and parents from Escalante and Boulder. In these programs, GSEP held school assemblies at the Escalante Elementary School and the Escalante High School. A special feature available at both assemblies was a presentation by GSENM’s paleontologist Dr. Alan Titus who discussed the varieties of dinosaurs that 175 million years ago roamed where the students now live. For his presentation at the schools, Dr. Titus brought along molded representations of dinosaur skulls that have been discovered at GSENM, and he invited students to participate in a hands-on encounter with Deinosuchus (a dinosaur-eating alligator growing over 40’ in length), and Diabloceratops (a creature with devil-like horns). As part of the learning event in Escalante, trained paleotechnicians and volunteers set up a table of fossils and dinosaur parts for students to handle and rouse their curiosity. The students seemed most fascinated by the rocks that had impressions made by the skin of dinosaurs. The response to the assembly at the Escalante High School was enthusiastic: students asked presenters to return, and the dinosaur skulls remained at the school so students could bring their parents to see them. Escalante Elementary School Principal Sue Bassett commented that the program involved student learning goals. “We are very pleased that the presentations addressed state education standards and objectives.” GSEP’s outreach to schools is made possible by Bureau of Land Management educational funding provided to GSENM. GSEP’s success in stirring a sense of wonder in the minds of young learners is due to the knowledge and enthusiasm of GSENM staff and GSEP’s volunteers. To schedule an event at your school, contact GSEP’s education coordinator Wade Parsons (435 644 1302). GSEP provides numerous programs for volunteers to participate in; call the GSEP office to discuss a volunteer activity that is right for you (435 644 1308).

GCSD COMMITTEES I would like to inform the public of four committees that Garfield School District is in the process of forming. The first committee is for teacher evaluations. This committee will help develop the teaching standards by which all formal evaluation processes will be completed in the District. It will be composed of parents, teachers and administrators. This committee will help develop an evaluation tool for administrators to use when evaluating the teacher and the educational process. I currently have seven parents, three administrators and four teachers who have expressed an interest in this committee. The second is a math text book adoption committee. This committee will look at the Utah Core Teaching Standards for math and compare different math text books and how they align with the standards. I have
asked for elementary and high school math teachers to serve on the committee. I currently have three parents and six teachers who would like to serve on this committee. The third will be a health education committee. This committee will review the entire curriculum relating to 8th and 10th grade health classes. They will also preview the maturation presentation provided by the Utah State Office of Education. This committee will make a recommendation to the School Board to adopt the specific materials they would suggest be taught in these classes. I currently have eight parents and five teachers who would like serve on this committee. The fourth committee will work toward compiling the District policies related specifically to certified (teacher) policies. These policies were last updated over ten years ago and need --Superintendent Ben Dalton

Saturday at the Milford Invitational track meet, both Panguitch’s boys and girl’s teams took 3rd place. There were 15 teams at this meet.

5th 3200m, 7th 300m hurdles On Thursday the Freshmen and Sophomore runners went to a meet in Bryce Valley, where there was 4 schools; however most of the meet, our runners were going against each other. PHS had more runners than all of the teams combined. Many of our girls were involved in winning 4 events. We had two teams in the 4x400 m relay and all of the girls looked strong. In the next few years these runner are going to bring home a lot of medals. Baseball is off and running and the Ice Breaker tournament will be held May 16 and 17th and will be for 5th and 6th graders. T ball is starting on Tuesday afternoon at the high school field and is a lot of fun to watch. Girl’s softball will be held on Thursday afternoon and is also fun to watch. The 7th and 8th graders
team is taki n g o f f were they were last year, on a winning tear. They went down to Mesquite’s Easter tournament. They haven’t had much luck there in the past, but they were 3 and 1 in the first round, and got into the final four play offs. They beat Kanab, as well as South Sevier. Coach Barney has got to be licking his lips; his very successful High School program is going to continue on for many years. Congratulation to Sheree Frandsen, she was selected to be the girls volleyball coach and will be replacing the Norris’ next year. The NBA play offs start next week, this season I think will be one that the players will want to forget. Playing 66 games in three months and as many as 6 games in seven nights was a killer.

The emergency closure will be in effect from April 20 through July 15. “The emergency closure is necessary to protect crucial raptor nesting habitat that is on the route through Lee’s Canyon,” said SLFO manager Jill Silvey. Locked gates will be installed on both the east and west side of Lee’s Canyon. The gates will be positioned in locations to allow motorized vehicles to turn around. Signs will also be installed to inform motorists that the road is seasonally-closed for wildlife protection and travel through the Canyon is not possible. Hasting’s Pass Road, the canyon to the south of Lee’s Canyon, remains open offering the public the same ability to travel across the Cedar Mountains. The public is reminded that vehicles must remain on designated routes. Anyone violating the closure may be fined up to $1,000, imprisoned for up to 12 months, or both. Violators may also be subject to additional fines. Lee’s Canyon is located along the Cedar Mountain Wilderness boundary and continues to be open to nonmotorized recreation such as hiking and horseback riding.

By Cynthia Kimball Neal A. Maxwell, an American church leader said, “Faith in God includes faith in his timing.” Sometimes, though, we want to put God in the backseat when he needs to be in the driver’s seat; yet, when we allow Him to drive –and when we’re in the backseat-- is when we truly exercise faith in Him. Do you exercise faith in God or do you rely upon the arm of flesh to know what course is best for you? One woman I know just got back from another state. She thought she was supposed to go live there with this man she’d known for 30 years. He lived on a ranch with horses, cattle and other animals. Essentially the whole nine yards of what‘s typically on a ranch. But she also saw red flags. A lot of red flags. Yet, her desire to be on that ranch and to look out the window every day and see those animals clouded her thinking. So, she put God in the backseat and those red flags under the carpet and took over the steering wheel because, well, that’s
Who will write your story: You or God?
what you do when you rely on the arm of flesh, right? Well, once this woman got to the ranch it wasn’t long before those red flags she’d ignored surfaced. Alcoholism and abuse were just a few. So, after a few months of some ugly treatment, she packed up and moved back to the town she’d lived in for 30 years, but not to the home she’d owned for all those years because, in her haste to move to that ranch, she had sold it. My friend’s story reminds me of the JewishAmerican author, Isaac Bashevis Singer’s quote, “Life is God’s novel. Let him write it.” When we let God write our story we pray for direction and listen for answers. When we let God write our story we let him drive the car. When we let God write our story we sit in the backseat. When we let God write our story we heed red flags. When we let God write our story we exercise faith. When we let God write our story we are a true dis-
ciple. When we let God write our story God is happy. When we let God write our story we are happy too. “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths,” Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us. When we let God write our story it is because we believe that, “Faith in God includes faith in his timing.” So, who will write your story from this day forward? It’s simple. Just be the passenger and God the driver. And you will live happily ever after (i.e., God’s, not the world’s, happily ever after).

GOLF INTERVIEW
A gushy reporter told Jack Nicklaus, “You are spectacular, your name is synonymous with the game of golf. You really know your way around the course. What’s your secret?” Nicklaus replied, “The holes are numbered.”
GYM APPLICATION
My friend sat down with a new client at her gym to review her application. For the question “To what do you attribute your fitness issues?” the woman wrote, “Horrendous eating habits.” “What makes you answer that?” my friend asked. The woman replied, “I can’t spell atrocious.”
DIAMOND NECKLACE
A wife calls her husband on his cell phone and asks, “Where in God’s green earth are you?!?” “Darling, you remember that jewelry store where you saw the diamond necklace and totally fell in love with it and I didn’t have money that time and I said ‘Baby it’ll be yours one day’?” “Oh, yes!! I remember that, my love!!” “I’m in the bar right next to that shop ...”
WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL PRESENTS William Shakespeare’s
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
May 4, 5 & 7th at 7:00 p.m. WHS Auditorium This one of Shakespeare’s most well known plays and comedies. Much of the play takes place in the forest where the fairies manipulate the lovers and the actors into silly circumstances. The play features four interlocking plots: the wedding of Duke Theseus to Amazon Queen Hippolyta; the mix-up of love between 2 Athenian couples; the amateur actors preparing a ridiculous play for the wedding; and the fight between the fairy queen and king, Titania and Oberon. You must see the hilarious story unfold!

Coaches Tyson Brinkerhoff and Randall Leslie were very proud of the girls who had worked hard by winning over Carbon twice, Mt. Pleasant once, and Emery(Price) once. Samantha Chynoweth, daughter of Shawn and Lesa Chynoweth, was the M.V.P. for the teeam. They played on April 20th and 21st in Richfield. The team consisted of Alycia Flores, Ambree Leslie, Taylor Nelson, Samantha Chynoweth, Danielle Brinkerhoff, Emilee Courtright, Emily Jessen, Keni Floyd, Emily Garcia, Natalie Pollock, Brittney Shakespear, and Elizabeth Ahlstrom. Alyssa Smith, Kiera Smithy, Dakota Stevens, Tyerah Tebbs, and Taylyr Stevens, who have all been a big part of the team were unable to attend on these dates. Congratulations to the coaches and the girls for a job well done.
Facts about M&M Candies...
In the early 1900s, Forrest Mars, Sr., the son of Chicago candy maker and Snickers bar creator Franklin Clarence Mars, worked his way through Europe learning the ins and outs of the candy business. He worked for Nestle. He worked for Tobler. He started his own little factory in England. He sold some of his father’s brands. Most importantly, he found inspiration.
According to confectionery lore, Mars was in Spain during the Spanish Civil War and noticed treats frequently placed in soldiers’ rations. They were chocolate pellets coated with a hard candy shell that kept them from melting (these might have been, or been inspired by, the “chocolate beans” made by Rowntrees of York, England since 1882). Upon his return to the U.S. in 1940, Mars sought out another son of a famed candy man to put his own spin on the Spanish candies. Bruce Murrie’s partnership in the new venture was essential to the candy’s success during World War II. His father was William Murrie, president of the Hershey Company, which meant Bruce and Mars had access to Hershey’s sugar and chocolate stores at a time when the ingredients were in short supply. It also guaranteed customers – Hershey had struck a deal with the Army in 1937 to provide chocolate for U.S. soldiers’ ration packs. The partners Mars and Murrie dubbed their new candy with their initials, and M&M’s soon found their way around the world with U.S. servicemen (along with the 4-ounce, 600-calorie “Ration D” Hershey chocolate bar). The story didn’t end sweetly for Murrie, though. When chocolate rationing ended after the war, Mars bought out Murrie’s 20% interest in the product and went on to become one of Hershey’s biggest competitors. Leaving Their Mark Even with their partnership dissolved, Mars and Murrie’s initials stuck as the candy’s name and, in 1950, was even printed on it. Today, the Ms are applied to M&M’s in a process that Mars Inc. describes as “akin to offset printing.” Blank M&M’s sit on a special conveyor belt that has a dimple for each candy to sit in, and roll through a machine where vegetable dye is transferred from a press to a rubber etch roller that gently prints the M on each piece. The printer can stamp some 2.5 million M&M’s an hour. Some candies make it off the line M-less, but Mars doesn’t consider these rejects. Minor variations in the shapes of M&M’s, especially the peanut ones, make uniform stamping difficult, and the machine is set up to let some blanks slip through rather than mark every one and break some candy shells in the process. Trivia Question: Which would you rather have: $100,000 right now...OR: one penny doubled every day for 31 days??? The penny would become almost $11,000,000!!!!
Jessica Stewart is having her 7th annual dance recital this Saturday. It will be held at the High School Auditorium at 6:00 p.m. and is free to the public. This year her theme is “Around the World” and there will be dances in Spanish, Chinese, Arabian, and many more. There is also a big Irish number she is really excited about! The girls have worked hard on dances and gymnastics routines and are excited to perform! A lot of rehearsal time and work on scenery has gone into this performance and it will be worth the time to go and see the dancing take place. Come and enjoy the show!! Congratulations to Ryan Moore who attends SUU and made the Dean’s list. It was for the Fall Quarter but he just got the letter and we are proud of his accomplishment. The list was for the “Science and Engineering” department. Ryan is the son of Frankie and Gayle Moore of Henrieville and the grandson of Lula Moore also of Henrieville. Welcome home for the summer to BYU student Nathanial Cloud. He looks great and is as nice as ever. Thanks Nathan for helping to haul in our load of items from the car. Curtis Mortensen is in Georgia for the summer installing Security Systems. He is the son of Andy and Shauna Mortensen of Henrieville. A lot of college students do this in the summer to earn money for school. Stay safe Curtis. Cody and Susie Mortensen of South Jordan just welcomed their first beautiful little daughter, Arlee Ann. She weighed in at 8 lbs. 1 oz. and is 22” long. They are very excited to have this sweet little girl in their lives. Grandparents are Andy and Shauna Mortensen of Henrieville. Great-grandma is LaKay Quilter of Henrieville. Everyone took this weekend to go up and see this new little girl and take turns holding her. WaLon and Kami Brinkerhoff were there with their little son Kyson. Congratulations to the family on this happy occasion. Yarlta Harman said she is going to be a first time grandma and is very excited. Joseph, her son, and his wife are expecting a baby in July. Congratulations. I want to say congratulations to Mack Oetting on winning the Silver Bowl Award. What a nice thing to happen to him. Congratulations Mack. Well it looks like Charlie Francisco gets to come home on weekends to visit with his wife, Eva Dean and then goes back to the Jubilee House during the week. Sandrea Francisco will take him over to Parowan on Sunday afternoon and daughter Robin will take him on down to St. George for his stay. That way she can visit her new little grandchild. Of course we grandparents want to do that. He will get picked up each Friday afternoon and come home and then on Sunday he will go back to Jubilee House in St. George. This will take place for four to six weeks and then maybe he gets to come home and stay. His bleeding and clots have stopped so that is a posi-
tive sign. Eva Dean says if you are confused by this article well then you know how she feels. She is glad to have him home again for part time and hopes he will soon be home to stay. Hurry and get well Charlie you are missed. Arthur and Vicki S. went to St. George to see their Granddaughter Cambry run and their grandson Makay play basketball. IT was fun and enjoyable. But HOT. Glad to be back home. Tracy Johnson and a committee of teachers and parents are working on obtaining a 21st Century Grant that will help students and parents with activities held after school. It will help parents who have to work and the children will be learning new things. It is being written for the Bryce Valley and Panguitch schools for now but the;y hope to expand it to include the other area schools in the future. They are asking you to fill out the survey that will come home with you student or to go online and fill it out. They did not give me and email address but I think if you go to the BV Elementary site you will be able to find it. This is for the parents of students in school. The State wide “Shake Out Drill” was also held at the Bryce Valley Schools. This was to help teach earthquake safety. If you read the article done by Wayne County it is the same program that was done throughout the state. They encouraged all schools to participate even colleges. One thing that has changed from the old rules about earthquake safety is something they call the “Zone of Safety” where you get down next to something sturdy and not under it. That way if the roof comes down the sturdy item will help to protect you from the debris. We were always taught to get under our desks and now they say to get down beside your desk or chair or whatever there is to be safer. The Shakespeare Festival brought a production of “Midsummer’s Night Dream” to the Bryce Valley Students. It was a powerful production and the students loved it. They did not show the whole play but the last hour and a half of it and the costuming and actions were fantastically done. Third through twelfth grades were invited and they met in the High School Auditorium. What a wonderful experience for all the students. Congratulations to our Cheer-leading Students who went to Cedar City to participate in a competition with other schools. Jana Williams is the advisor and was very proud of the kids that participated. She had 46 girls from age 3 years to 14 years and they did a tremendous job. They had 8 routines choreographed by Jana and all 8 won a First Place Ribbon. Two of the routines had perfect scores and they won over all best Showmanship of the competition. All the girls are from the Bryce Valley Area. On May 4thand 5th the 6th through 8th grade girls will be attending a competition in Cedar City. Jana thanks Mallory Clarke for being such a valuable assistant
and helping out with the competition. Way to go girls. April Le Fevre had her last P.E. class for the elementary students. They held relays, water balloon events and all had a good time. It was one class at a time. Thanks to April for being such a good P.E. teacher with the students. It was a lot of fun. On April 26th at 6:00 P.M. the PTA Movie at the Elementary School will be held. It is for Parents and Children together. Don’t just drop your student off come on it and enjoy the movie with them. For $1.00 they can purchase popcorn or other goodies. The movie is “The Dolphin Tale” by Disney. The Wolf Den of the Cub Scouts is delighted to welcome Logann Eagar back and to know she will be helping out with the Wolf Den. Calvin her son will be advancing to the Bear den when he turn 9 years old in May. Congratulations to Cody Brothwell for earning his Wolf Badge. The Theme for May is Health and Fitness.

ESCALANTE NEWS
Marlene Haws Ph: 826-4859 • marleneh@color-country.net The Dace Chynoweth and Chyvonne Stowe wedding took place on April 14th as scheduled with a large crowd in attendance. When you get all the Chynoweths, Brinkerhoff’s, Stowe’s, Griffins and all the other relatives together you have quite a crowd in itself. The ceremony was performed by Dace’s father, Bishop Link Chynoweth. The bride was beautiful and the groom handsome. The decorations were Western and cute and a luncheon was served to family and friends. Nadine and Ross Shelley were in town for the wedding. They live in Nephi now. Not very far away but we don’t see much of them any more! Janet and Billy Kraft, Meeker, Colorado were in town visiting for a couple of days. Janet’s birthday was on the 18th and Billy’s gift to her was a trip to New Mexico to see her family. But he also stopped in Escalante so she could visit with all the friends she made while she lived here, including her ex mother-inlaw MaeVonn Taylor and family. Her children had given her a surprise party before she and Billy left home! Happy 60th, Janet! Lots of renovating and cleaning up going on, on the block between first and second North and Center Street. Drew and Mary Parkin are giving their house a whole new face lift. New windows, new paint, etc. It’s going to look real nice. And on the lot just North of them the little building next to Yukon Norman’s house has been torn down and cleaned away. I’m not sure who was responsible, but Linda Overall was in the mix. She looked pretty tired when I saw her as I passed by the other day. Speaking of clean-up, don’t forget that it’s cleanup week next week, on May 1st through May 5th. Anything you need hauled off will be picked up by the city workers. Just remember to have it in separate piles: Limbs and yard waste in one pile, metal in another and construction waste in another. Please be as helpful as you can. In attendance at the Escalante City Council Meeting on April 17, were CEO/ Administrator of the Garfield Memorial Hospital, Alberto Vasquez; and Leland Pollock and Del LeFevre, GC Commissioners. They are trying to update each community in Garfield County on what is going on with our hospital and clinics. They are urging us to take full advantage of these facilities and the updates that are taking place in them. There will soon be four doctors on staff, we have a life flight helicopter, CAP accreditation in Lab now, an obstetrics on-call professional for women and newborn patients, and specialized doctors coming in on a regular basis, even for performing surgery. They also have a program similar to the sliding scale for making payments. 21 new employees were hired in 2011 and the hospital has been the busiest in Garfield’s history. The care center was
remodeled, to the tune of $100,000.00 last year and it is expected that construction will soon begin on a new addition which will add 15 new beds. The specialists who come in on scheduled days now are: Dr. Robert Pearson, Ear, nose and throat; Dr. Randy Delcore, Orthopedist; Dr. Eric Maxwell, Audiologist; Dr. Brad Webb, Podiatrist; Dr. Ronald Crouch, Urologist; Dr. Ben Adams, Dermatology; Dr. Robert Nakken, Orthopedist and Dr. Aaurs Manchanda, Heart specialist. Let’s try to support our county facilities. It may be that the same doctor will be coming to Panguitch that you would ordinarily have to go to Cedar City or St. George to see. Check it out! Other items on the agenda at City Council were: The Escalante Sawmill. Our city council members are working, with others, to try, if at all possible, to get the mill up and running again. Wouldn’t it be great if we could get all those jobs back? It was reported that the clean-up day on the 12th went well and some good work was done. Also that the barbeque afterward was good and it was nice to have our people get together to discuss things, visit and get better acquainted. Thanks to those who helped in any way. Our councilman, Jeff Dunn, has resigned from the city council. Our thanks to Jeff, he has been a faithful member, both in the council and planning and zoning. But that means there is now a vacancy in his spot so if anyone out there is willing to devote some time to your community….now is the time. Let your mayor or city clerk know you would like to be in the running. I got a phone call from
Kenny Shurtz (son of Hal and Geneal) last week. It was a nice “catch up” call. He says he is putting all the old Escalante High School yearbooks on disc . So if any of you have one you think he can use, you might want to give him a call. Don and Sue Mosier took Pat Sorensen to Las Vegas, where she boarded a plane for Jacksonville, Florida. She spent 10 days there with her sister-inlaw, Monty Revord. Monty wondered why she was so brave as to visit now when their Hurricane season is just getting started! She says they already have 10 of them named. I guess they have to name them to keep track of which Hurricane did what! Anyway, Pat and Monty visited Budd, Pat’s brother, two or three times while Pat was there. He is in a care center 81 miles away and with the price of gas being what it is. Well, you know the rest of that story. But, Pat said she had a good trip and was glad she went. For those of you who are interested, U.S. Senator Mike Lee and his office staff will be in Escalante on May 8, at 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM and invite everyone to meet with them in the City Council Chambers at the Escalante City Offices. My son, Robert, and I went to St. George last Week for his doctor appointment. He is doing fine and we got to visit with my grandson, Brandon and Sarina Haws and their four children while we were there. We are leaving tomorrow to go to Salina again for my granddaughters basketball and dance revue. This time for the youngest, Shaylynn Sorensen. By the time you read this we will be back home resting up. So call or e-mail me with some more news! Thanks!

FYI PANGUITCH By: Mack Oetting ~ E-mail: mackoetting @gmail.com The weather has been so good that Pat has been working in her garden getting it ready for the summer. Our tulips are blooming and they look wonderful, It’s too bad they only bloom for about a month. The best view for tulips, this side of the Netherlands is up at Thanksgiving Point, they plant over 200,000 bulbs for the show at this time of year. Don’t wait too long to see them, for they don’t bloom any longer than yours. I think this is the last weekend for the Tulip Show. Thanksgiving Point has a world class garden and it is well worth while visiting from April to October when they close for the winter. Bill and Judy Prince have returned home to live with their daughter Tiffany and her son, who have been here the last two years. Bill and Judy who have had twelve children, seven of them have graduated from PHS and gone on and finished college and have nothing but good to say about the schools here. Tiff’s favorite teacher was John Gillett and she is pursuing her Masters Degree in Dietetics and her sister Pam is in Florida going to PA school. I hope you got a chance to go over to the Junior Prom, if no more than to see how well it was decorated. They start off with really well done kindergarten school house, with their pictures from that time. It went around the room with the different times in their educational lives. Their advisors Tammy Bennett and Ryan Houston said the kids really showed up in force to help out. I missed the Promenade, but the girls were all beautiful in their gowns and the boys looked really sharp in their finery. I am sure that this Prom with bring back fond memoirs to the Class 2013 when they have their reunions. Speaking of reunions I graduated in the Class of 1953, let see I think that makes it sixty years, I wonder if any are still alive to have a reunion. We went to my 50th and I didn’t remember very many of my class mates, they had all gotten old on me. Pats class has regular reunions and still some of her best friends are from her school days. At the State Volunteer Awards banquet that I attended in Provo, I learned many things about Utah’s Volunteers. Utah has been the number 1 State as far as volunteerism in the Country, for the past six years in a row. The second place State is Ohio, Utahan’s volunteer an average of 90 hours a year and Ohio has less than half of that. The vast majority of Utah volunteers live in rural communities and these communities couldn’t survive without the good people who chip in to help out. As I grow older, I just can’t keep up with the young fire fighters and EMTs, but there are plenty of fun things to help out in the communities. When I was on the City Council we had a real big dog problem, so I went down to Best Friends and walked some of the dogs there for two years. In trade Best Friends took over 200 unwanted pets out of this area, and walking for six hours was great exercise. Volunteering is fun and very rewarding and we have many volunteers in our area to be thankful for.
The Panguitch Lions will have new leadership this July 1 and the President will be Pete Larson, 1st VP Donna Jefferson and 2nd VP Bob Lowe. Many thanks go to Glen Bauer, who has served as the Lions President for the last two years. The Lions Club and the FCCLA students will be picking up trash along 89 on May 16th so keep and eye out for them and give them a roar when you pass them. The Lions Club has donated $1500 for the very talented FCLLA students that are going back to Nationals in Florida. The new DUP (Daughters of the Utah Pioneers) President is Angeli Sheffer and she to will take over July 1st. Looking at the paper the other day it said that Garfield Co. had one of the highest rates of unemployment in the state this last winter at 9 %. I have been following the unemployment rate for about the last 15 years and it has held pretty fast at 13%, I have been trying to figure out something for the workers around here to do in the winter. My conclusion from the drop in unemployment is that the 15 to 20 jobs that the Alton Coal mine has provided, has made the difference. It has been a little over a year now since the mine has been open and most of my fears have been laid to rest. We don’t have three hundred trucks coming through each day, its only about 7 to 8% of the trucks that run down main street. Barney trucking has got to have some of the safest trucks on the road, these new trucks have cameras in them and if a driver gets caught talking on their cell phones or texting they are gone. Each truck has a computer chip in them that can record any speed that the trucks travel and where they are at that time. So now you know why they rarely speed through town, or on the highway, I wish
that the other trucks were as law abiding. Living on Main Street I have not detected any coal dust on my sidewalk, nor have I noticed any influx of truck traffic. I don’t particular care for coal fired generators but they aren’t going anywhere in the near future and they need coal and if they don’t get it from Alton, they will get it somewhere else. We have some events coming up in May, it would be helpful if you would pick up your flowers out at the cemetery. Rob Veater’s crew will be cleaning up and mowing the grass out there getting ready for Memorial Day. The Main Street Committee, along with their giant garage sale, on Memorial weekend have planned some entertainment. Each of the events that go on all summer long will have characters there advertising upcoming events, starting with the Quilt Walk there will be a hot air balloon (depending on the weather). I understand that there could be a shoot out brewing also. So clean out your garage and make a few bucks off stuff the people have got to have. Pat is looking for a few Pioneer homes to show at the Quilt Festival during the second week in June. On May 28, the Golden Gate Bridge will celebrate its 75th birthday. This engineering wonder and colossal work of art, opened on May 28th 1937. Its length is 1.7 miles and its height is746 feet. 110,000 vehicles, 10,000 pedestrians and 6,000 bike riders use it per day. There were 11 construction workers killed during the building of the bridge and 19 workers that belong to the “half way to hell club”, when a net stopped their fall. Enjoy the weather while you can, remember it is Spring. Mack O.

Sturdy in Salt Lake City, Utah. She grew up in Granite, the youngest of nine children, and was very close to her brothers and sisters. She absolutely loved the outdoors and was most happy and at home when she was hiking, camping, fishing, riding 4-wheelers and even rock hunting. Joyann was a kind and tender person. She made friends easily and loved people unconditionally. She was adventurous, liked to drive fast, got to concerts and spend time walking with her beloved dog Jackson. One of her favorite hobbies was hand crafting jewelry. Some of her pieces were made of beads, others of special rocks she collected, and some out of petrified wood. Each was
very unique. She always shared tht things she made as special gifts to those she loved. Joyann was always aware of the nedds or desires of those around her, and if it was in her power to do so, she would do her best to fulfill those desires. She married Michael Lee Riches in 1987.

Joyann loved children and later had the opportunity to mother and nurture two sweet girls, Crystal and Katie Davila. In June 2008 Joyann married her lifetime sweetheart, Lamar Bruce Hansen. They met when she was 14 and he was 16. She immediately loved her new role as mother to Lamar’s daughters, Jamie and Erin. She also fell in love with Jamie’s little boy’s, Gage and Guner, and quickly took on the role as their grandmother. She and Lamar lived in Torrey, Utah and were in the process of planning and building their dream home.

The resolution failed by a vote of 45-54. Hatch issued the following statement: THE “The NLRB’s rule will weigh most heavily on small INSIDER businesses – the ones who do not have an in-house staff of 676-2621 labor lawyers or legal expertise. With the drastically shortGarfield ened election timelines, many of these employers won’t or 836-2622 get an opportunity to determine how they are allowed to Wayne communicate to their employees. The end result will be that fewer employers will venture to communicate their views at all, even though their right to do so is guaranteed under the law. Those that do express their views to employees won’t have enough time to make their case. As a result, workers will only hear from one side – the union side – before voting for or against union representation. This is another in a long line of abuse by this administraon time.? Think of the im- tion – but that’s par for the course these days.” pact on our local businesses during the construction of this project.

HATCH VOTES TO PROTECT SMALL BUSINESSES FROM UNION TAKEOVERS
LETTER TO THE EDITOR BECAUSE THEY CAN
It seems I have heard this a few times in the last little while. If the government wants to do something it just seems like they can. If any of you thought that I thought the waterfall would be open this year, I’m sorry, you are wrong, you see I’m not the government. I wish that we the people still had a say in what the government does. Most of you knew that we had lost our power a long time ago. I was still living in a world that thought we had some power. I called Al right after it was closed and he was on a 3 week vacation so I called and talked to Laura Joss (303-969-2856) and she told me that Al could make that decision all on his own. I talked to Dennis Davis (801-741-1012-101) and I asked him if Al could make that decision on his own and he said yes. (Last time I quoted him in my letter to the editor he told Cordell that what I said was not right. Cordell called me and told me. So I called Dennis back and asked him what part was not true and he had to back up because I told him my husband was here when I talked to him.) I said then that makes Al a dictator, right! BECAUSE HE CAN, HE DOES!!! He doesn’t care what we think. Using safety devices won’t work because he doesn’t care what people want to do. We are all to stupid to use caution to swim at our own risk. If you come to the Park from the East side it looks really ugly what a unwelcoming sight to this beautiful Park. I think this is a beautiful Park but you should hear some of the comments that I hear about that ugly fence that says to the people that come here stay out!!! I have only hear from one person that
hoped the waterfall would be closed and she works in the park. Most people that come here want to swim or take pictures at the waterfall. Talk about dangerous, people have to stand on the road to take pictures of the waterfall. If you drive by the waterfall you will see that the water is not even going in the same place that it did last year. Our choices are slowly being taken away from us. We can’t use our own common sense and have fun any more. If you want to swim go to about mile post 89 on 24 just out of the Park and there are some fun places to play in the water. If any of you know of any other places let me know. Thanks! We would like to have our visitors have a great time when they come to Wayne County. Wayne County needs to be a place where people want to come and have a wonderful time. The Park is not all that we have to share. If it hasn’t happened to you it will. Last year the State of Utah, Division of Water Rights gave Steve Dalton the key to shut the water from coming to Notom for 15 days. After our Lower Fremont River Meeting this year, those from Notom stayed to talk to the state people about this situation. McLean asked why they couldn’t say that this would not happen again. The state engineer said “BECAUSE WE ARE THE GOVERNMENT”. He seemed to think that was funny. I want you to know that none of us thought it was funny, we didn’t laugh, we were upset. This year I was at a Wayne County caucus I was late because we had been to Salt Lake to a meeting. The man that was talking said that
the government had taken water or land or both from some farmers. An older man in the room raised his hand and said, “How can you do that?” Here again the government said, “BECAUSE WE CAN.” I know that I’m not as old as some of you but little by little the government has taken more and more away from us. What can we do? We need to think about it. We need to work together as a county. Democrat, Republican, and Independents, it doesn’t matter we as a country are being dictated to. This is not the government of the people for the people we need to wake up. The waterfall is closed not because it is dangerous, it is closed so Al can put in two bridges that will cost we the people $15,000,000 plus. Believe me, it is the two bridges that we the people will pay for, not the Government!!! Have you ever known of a Government project to stay in budget or completed

TORREY NEWS With the warmer weather and increased ATV activity in Torrey Town, there is an added emphasis being placed on ATV safety. The streets of Torrey Town are not a NASCAR race track, the red octagon signs still mean STOP and the triangular signs mean you should look both ways and YEILD the right of way. Section 4: of the Torrey Town OHV ordinance of 2002 states the speed limit for all off-highway vehicles is 15 MPH. Violators can be charged with a class C misdemeanor, severe chastisement, or in some places in town a dunking in the Torrey canal. Nuisance and un-licensed dogs continue to raise some ire and eyebrows, and are causing un-needed / wanted chaos in certain parts of Torrey. For the serenity and safety of neighbors, the walking public, residents and visitors alike, Torrey Town requires that all dog owners provide proof of

UNEQUAL BUSINESS ASSET DISTRIBUTION AMONG CHILDREN
What if your business represents the majority of your estate, but you do not wish your business assets to be distributed equally among your children? There is an alternative to accomplish your objective. You can create additional liquid assets in your estate at the time of your death which could be used to equalize the assets of the children who are outside the business, with those assets of a child who will inherit your business. This strategy is accomplished through the use of life insurance held in a trust. The life insurance proceeds are first used to
equalize the assets to the three children, and any additional funds can be utilized to pay any death settlement costs, estate taxes, or other expenses. Often the best vehicle to own and distribute the life insurance proceeds is an Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust, which would hold the insurance death benefits outside of the estate (free of estate tax). This strategy avoids potential family conflicts which might occur if business assets must be divided equally among the children or even sold to equalize the inheritance to the children. Either strategy could dilute your chosen child’s ownership to the point where he or she could not function adequately as the majority leader of the business. Since most small businesses are not liquid and not easily marketed, a forced sale could be financially disastrous and foil your goal
of having one child continue the business. The additional influx of liquidity from your Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust, at the exact time it will be needed, can accomplish your objectives. Jeffery J. McKenna is a local attorney serving clients in Utah, Arizona and

vaccinations, license and that they continually control their dogs. A publicly driven movement is now in progress to severely deal with nuisance and un-licensed dogs and their un-cooperative owners. To report nuisance and unlicensed dogs please continue to contact your local authorities and the Wayne County Sheriff’s office. There has been a recent report of concern from a certain “out of town” individual about Torrey Town’s use of the Sensus’s AquaSense Intelligent Water Management automatic water meter reading system. In an attempt to squash the paranoia Sensus representatives report that “the Sensus water meter reading system does not monitor the water user’s daily activities nor has the capability to be connected to household computer cameras for internal surveillance”. And according to a stern statement and a visibly nauseated Torrey Town Mayor “Torrey has no interest in wanting to know or investigate what happens in anyone’s homes or what they use their water for”. For more information please go to http://www. sensus.com/web/usca/home or contact Paula Pace at the Torrey Town offices during regularly scheduled hours for details on the Torrey Town Water Ordinance. As a point of community interest, Torrey Town does encourage “Torrey Town residents” to attend monthly town meetings, public hearings, and contact and communicate with “your” Town representatives about your concerns and visions of what “you” personally feel the direction
of Torrey Town should and can be. Careful planning of Torrey Town’s future is essential. To place important town decisions and land use issues in the hands of a few can be detrimental. “You” can make a difference in your community, and it is “your” public duty to make your voice heard or privately subject your self to suffer in silence. Get to know what your town representatives are proposing and what laws “you” might be required to abide by. The spring blossoms on the fruit trees in Torrey make venturing out into the orchards a sensual explosion of the senses. The smell of Crab Apple, Pear, Plum, and Cherry blossoms so overwhelms your nostrils with the intensity of spring that you can easily forget what you were going outside for. There are so many bees buzzing overhead that sticking your nose into a blossom can be dangerous but you can’t help yourself because everything smells so good. Roto-tillers can also be heard chugging all over town and the sweet smell of fresh turned over dirt reminds us of Dudley Elliott’s musical rendition of “Home Grown Tomatoes”. Monica Brian and Holly Harward are seriously trying out for the “Amazing Race”. They recently made their audition tape in Torrey and it is not like anything you have ever seen. These women have the skills to go all the way. You can see them in action on youtube Monica & Holly at http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=XQyH5bMLFe0. Good Luck Girls.

FIVE TIPS FOR CREATING A STADIUM STYLE LAWN IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD With summer on the horizon, families will be heading to backyards across the country for picnics, sports games and to simply soak up the sun. A lush green lawn is the perfect setting for these activities and will be the envy of the neighborhood. How does one achieve that well-manicured, stadium-style lawn? Many homeowners think a professional-looking lawn requires a stringent water and fertilizer regimen. While both water and fertilizer play their part, neither is the stand-alone key to a perfect lawn. The following five tips offer homeowners simple solutions to achieving a great yard. • Know your region. Grass seed is not one size fits all. Select the right grass seed or sod based on where you live. It’s also important to consider how you plan to use your lawn. Do you have children and pets that will be playing on it regularly, or will the purpose be primarily curb appeal? To determine the right grass, talk to your local garden center or contact the turf grass specialist at your state agriculture school. • Only feed as needed. According to Grass Seed USA, a coalition of American grass seed farmers, many homeowners over water their lawns, which does more harm than good. A simple trick to determine whether your lawn needs watering is to stick a screwdriver into the grass. If it enters the dirt easily, your lawn has plenty of water already. If you have trouble getting the screwdriver into the ground, it is time to give
the grass a drink. It is also recommended to fertilize your lawn at least once a year. However, putting your lawn on a quarterly schedule will help achieve optimal health. • Break out the ruler. The maintenance crews for professional sports fields are meticulous about the height of their grass because it ensures a uniform look. Grass Seed USA recommends maintaining a lawn height of about 2 inches. It’s important not to cut more than one-third of the grass height at a time to minimize damage, so aim to mow when your lawn is about 3 inches in height. • Arm yourself with the right tools. The proper equipment can take a lawn from looking well-manicured to professional. When selecting a mower, don’t jump straight to those that pick up the grass clippings. Allowing the clippings to decompose in the lawn will add to the overall health of your yard, and when you mow often, the shavings are small and less noticeable. Adding an edger to your arsenal is another great trick for cleaning up the lines and defining your yard. • Replenish as necessary. Grass is a natural carpet that cleans and repairs itself. It’s equipped to withstand a number of elements yet is impacted over time. If you’ve noticed that your lawn is sparse in areas, or not as full and lush as you’d like, it may be time to add more seed. The best time to plant new seed is in the fall when the temperatures are more temperate. But reseeding may be done
throughout the year. The important thing is to avoid drastic temperature changes and water regularly, yet moderately, to give the seed time to absorb moisture and build roots. • Growing and maintaining a lush green lawn doesn’t have to come with a backache. Basic planning and these five quick tips will have you well on your way to a backyard prime for the summer season.
Utah’s wildlife received a $1.3 million gift recently. The gift came courtesy of Utah’s conservation permit program. Here’s how the program works: T he Division of Wildlife Resources allocates a small number of big game, black bear, cougar and turkey hunting permits to conservation organizations in Utah. The groups auction the permits at their yearly banquets. After auctioning the permits, at least 90 percent of the money the groups raise must be used on DWR-approved projects that benefit Utah’s wildlife. $1.3 million Seven groups received conservation permits in 2011: Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife, the Mule Deer Foundation, the Wild Sheep Foundation, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Safari Club International, the National Wild Turkey Federation and the Utah Bowman’s Association. On April 11, representatives from the seven groups met with DWR biologists to decide which projects the money would be used to fund. A total of 66 projects received more than $1.3 million in funding. Mike Canning, Habitat
Section chief for the DWR, says allowing these groups to auction the permits is a windfall for Utah’s wildlife. “The amount of money that ends up going into on-theground work to help wildlife across Utah is astounding,” he says. Canning gives some examples of how conservation permit funds are used: Much of the money the conservation permit program generates each year funds habitat projects that are part of Utah’s Watershed Restoration Initiative. The initiative started in 2005. Since it began, more than $76 million has been used to restore more than 778,000 acres of wildlife habitat across the state. The conservation permit program provided more than $5.4 million of the $76 million. “Our goal is to restore
at least 100,000 acres a year so we’re providing Utah’s wildlife with the food, cover and other habitat items the wildlife need,” Canning says. • To transplant bighorn sheep. • To survey Utah’s elk herds from the air. • To conduct research projects, such as determining why the growth of Utah’s moose population has slowed in recent years. To build more water collection devices called “guzzlers.” Guzzlers provide additional water to wildlife species in some of Utah’s driest areas. • To learn more about the best ways to construct wildlife-crossing structures. These structures are vital in helping deer and other wildlife safely cross some of Utah’s most heavily traveled roads.

PATIENT INFORMATION Causes and Treatment of Dry Skin
Dry skin is a common condition that is usually selftreatable with nonprescription products such as emollients and moisturizers. It may be caused by a variety of environmental, lifestyle, or medical factors. Low Humidity: Serious medical conditions can cause dry skin, but such causes are not as common as everyday factors. One of the major contributors is dryness of the air outdoors and in the home or workplace. During the summer, hot air can hold a great deal of water, making for high humidity. During the winter months, however, cold air cannot hold as much moisture, so the outside air becomes very dry. When home furnaces heat the air, it dries out even more, so that inside air in the winter has a very low relative humidity. As people live in dry air, the eyes, throat, respiratory tract, and skin all become abnormally dry. This is easy to remedy. When the air begins to turn cold in late October or November, run a vaporizer or humidifier in each room where the family lives and sleeps. Be sure to drink a good amount of water every day to help with internal hydration. Bathing Habits: Dry skin can also be caused by bathing habits. Here are some simple steps to take. Keep baths and showers as short as possible, and use warm rather than hot water. Physicians suggest applying soap only to the face, armpits, and genital area. Switch to mild cleansers such as Aveeno, Dove, Cetaphil, or Neutrogena. Dermatologists advise taking baths only every other day. When drying the skin after bathing, do not rub the towel across the skin. Instead, gently pat the skin dry. Recommended Products After bathing and drying, while the skin is still damp, use bath oils and emollient products to help retain moisture. The best products are thick ointments with a greasy consistency, such as Vaseline Petroleum Jelly. Alcohol dries the skin, so products containing it are not as good as ointments. Avoid scratching itchy areas with your fingernails. Instead, cover any area that itches with a cool wet cloth. Nonprescription hydrocortisone ointments or creams can help if there is some mild inflammation of the skin.
SMART SNACKING THAT CAN BOOST YOUR FITNESS ROUTINE
Eating right and exercising are the two most important elements of a healthy lifestyle. We hear it time and again that these simple principles hold more power than the latest fad diet, and for those who heed the advice, the proof is in the results. However, it’s not always easy to figure out what’s really good for you in the process of building or maintaining - a healthy body. There’s no question about it: if you’re exercising regularly, the food you eat should support your workout routine. Whether you’re a casual visitor to the gym three times a week or training for your first 100mile bike ride, proper nutrition is essential. That means paying attention to the nutrient content of the foods you’re eating, as your body will use and demand them differently than if you were living a sedentary lifestyle. And don’t be fooled - there are lots of foods which are packed with sugar and calories, with no or few important nutrients, aimed at athletes. For fitness fanatics and newcomers alike, smart snacking options can provide an added boost of nutrients that the body needs - even when you’re on the go. Consider making a combination of these snacks a regular part of your routine. • Pistachios. Not all nuts are the same, and studies
are increasingly finding that these little green treats might just be an athlete’s best friend. Pistachios are packed with nutrients that rank among the most important for optimal performance and health. They provide wholesome protein that is crucial for building and repairing muscle, in addition to gamma-tocopherol (a member of the vitamin E family) that has antiinflammatory properties and antioxidant nutrients, which can be sapped during intensive exercise. The healthy fats in pistachios, which are the “Official Snack” of the USA Water Polo Men’s and Women’s teams, are no threat to your workout results, either - in fact, they’ll bolster your routine because they are a fuel for endurance. • Fruits and vegetables. The USDA’s new dietary guidelines make no bones about it - fruits and vegetables are an incredibly important part of a healthy diet. And for athletes, they’re a great source of vitamins and minerals that are important when your body is subjected to the extra demands of exercise. Choosing fruits and vegetables over juices can also give you added fiber to keep your body healthy. Whether you pack fresh or dried fruits and veggies for your pre- or post-workout snack, you can be sure that you’re giving your body the
extra vitamins it needs for top performance. • Whole grains. No, you don’t need to carry a loaf of bread with you. Instead, look for small, portable bars that offer the multiple benefits of natural whole grains. They’re yet another source of healthy fiber that can help keep you going and will keep you from feeling hungry again shortly after you’ve eaten. And because they’re whole, these grains retain much of their vitamin content that your body craves. If you can find bars that incorporate honey, so much the better, as it is yet another great source of energy. Taking care of your body will help it serve you well over the years, whether you’re a student athlete, an active senior or anywhere in between. To do so, keep in mind that fitness and nutrition always go hand in hand and you’ll be able to get the results you really want. For more information about healthy snacking, visit www.AmericanPistachios.org, where you’ll also find delicious recipes like Thyme and Garlic Pistachios.

Thyme and Garlic Pistachios by Chef Grant MacPherson 1 pound American pistachios, in-shell 4 sprigs thyme, chopped 1/2 ounce garlic, sliced 4 tablespoons canola oil Sea salt to taste Warm canola oil in roasting pan on the stovetop, add the pistachios and toast. Add the sliced garlic and thyme sprigs, continue toasting until the garlic and thyme have coated the pistachios; season with sea salt to taste. Remove from heat, serve warm in the vessel of your choice.
When to See a Physician Pharmacists may advise patients to see a doctor if the skin is itching but no rash is present, or if dryness and itching are so severe that sleeping becomes difficult. Pay special attention to skin that is open or wounded. Any break in the skin can be the entry point for bacteria. The dryness itself can break the skin open, or vigorous scratching can cause open cuts or sores. If the skin is broken, monitor it closely for signs of infection (swelling, redness, heat, pain) and see a physician as soon as possible to get an antibiotic or antibacterial prescription. Finally, if the simple steps described above to prevent or treat are not helpful, it is best to see a physician to ensure that there is not a more serious underlying medical problem.

Americans have a charitable streak. In fact, estimates place the percentage of American households making charitable donations each year at 70-80%. Research suggests that giving is good for you, too. Donors experience a measurable kind of warm glow or “helpers’ high” from giving to a good cause, studies show. Even if feeling good is not a motive for charitable giving, it sure is a plus to reap the tax benefits of giving. So it is worth considering the benefits of giving in the most tax-efficient ways, including making gifts of cash and appreciated securities or establishing donoradvised funds and family foundations. Gifts of appreciated securities are a popular way to benefit a favorite charity while sheltering the gains from taxes. By giving this way, the donor is allowing the charity to put to work 100% of the market value of the long-term appreciated securities, thus avoiding paying tax on the “built-in” capital gain. Let’s say you own an appreciated position of GE, now worth $10,000, acquired for $2,000. Sell the stock and you would be subject to capital gains tax on the $8,000 realized gain – a $1,200 tax bill. If you donate the stock instead, you can deduct the full amount as a charitable gift. For an individual who itemizes deductions and whose marginal tax bracket is 33%, the savings of $3,333 in federal taxes – added to the $1,200 in capital gains savings – brings to $4,533 the tax savings for making your gift in stock. A cash gift would reduce taxable income by $10,000, thus saving $3,333 in income tax. Actual tax benefits will vary depending on the details of your overall income tax situation, the type of property contributed, and the type of organization receiving your gift. In addition to tax benefits, donors often have ad-
ditional reasons for choosing to give stock. These might include lessening a concentrated position in a particular stock or preserving available cash for other needs. Those who wish to facilitate significant philanthropy may establish tax-favored vehicles such as donor-advised funds or family foundations. Many donors are discovering the benefits of donor-advised funds available through financial services companies and community foundations. A donor-advised fund is an irrevocable, taxdeductible contribution of assets to a charity. At any time thereafter you can recommend grant distributions to qualified charitable organizations. The convenience of donating a single block of securities that can benefit multiple charities makes the donor-advised fund a popular choice. Wealthy families looking to instill their family’s values and create a legacy of giving for their children and grandchildren often choose to establish their own private or family foundations. These foundations provide a vehicle or focus within the family to work towards common social goals and promote giving to future generations, permitting young and old to collaborate on these topics. The cost to establish and administer a family foundation can be prohibitive for all but the most committed donors. In addition to set-
up costs, foundations must meet a required minimum payout each year and provide access to information, complete reporting and public disclosures that may prove a burdensome counterweight to other charitable vehicles. Donors should consult their tax advisors to seek a more thorough evaluation of one charitable vehicle over another, particularly in view of the donor’s own circumstances. The fourth quarter is a good time to consider the best way to give in view of your plans and objectives. You can plan ahead by putting funding vehicles in place to facilitate yearend giving. When it comes to tax-wise giving, who knows? It might feel better than you think. This article was written by Wells Fargo Advisors and provided courtesy of J. Brody Orton in Draper at 801-369-2893.

EXPERTS EXPECT SMARTPHONES TO OVERTAKE PERSONAL COMPUTERS IN 2012
Smartphones are steadily becoming commonplace devices for everyone from professionals to busy moms. Users of these devices now instinctively turn to their phones for tasks that previously they would only have accomplished on a computer, over the phone or in person. These tasks include surfing the Web, obtaining driving directions, connecting via social media, and even shopping. In the United States, 87.4 million people own smartphones. And, in 2012, smartphone sales are expected to top sales of personal computers. As smartphones allow people to connect with businesses in new and exciting ways, businesses in turn need to become savvier about going mobile. For example, a small home health care provider recently utilized smartphones to expand to 400
patients across four major counties in Utah. Its employees previously struggled to keep up with all the paperwork and regulatory requirements, so the company decided to go completely mobile, equipping its entire staff with Microsoft Windows Phones. This allowed the staff to visit patients and instantly update their condition and treatments. For small businesses, embracing the smartphone age is becoming crucial for success. Here are some easy ways small businesses can go mobile in 2012: • Invest in smartphones Transitioning from a flip phone to a smartphone makes it much easier to run a business on the go. Providing easy access to email, calendar information and the Internet, smartphones increase productivity and can provide peace of mind while out of the office. To-
day, smartphones are more affordable than in the past, so now is a perfect time to take advantage of their capabilities. • Consider industry-specific devices - Numerous mobile technologies, from smartphone applications to tablets, have been created with specific industries in mind. For example, rugged tablets that can withstand the elements are available for those in the construction industry and tablets created for the health care industry can be sterilized between patient visits to avoid contamination. • Make websites mobilecompatible - In an era in which most consumers first go to the Internet to find local service providers, it’s crucial that small businesses have a polished and informative online presence that’s friendly for mobile consumption. Even for business owners who
aren’t tech-savvy, starting a website is feasible. A quick Internet search will reveal numerous free or low-cost website templates. You might also choose to work with a Web developer to ensure your business’s website is smartphone-friendly. • Get social - Popular social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter make it simple to connect with customers in a casual, but also personal, manner and also embrace the mobile population that frequents these sites on smartphones. Consider leveraging one or more of these platforms to further establish your business’s online presence and create positive buzz around new offerings and special deals and promotions.
