Celebrate the 12th Annual Bryce Canyon Astronomy Festival, May 17-20, 2012

Bryce Canyon National Park invites you to join its “Dark Rangers” and amateur astronomers from the Salt Lake Astronomical Society for the 12th Annual Bryce Canyon Astronomy Festival.

With its renowned dark skies, astronomy has long been a significant part of Bryce Canyon’s international appeal,” says Park Superintendent Jeff Bradybaugh. “This year is especially exciting because the grand finale of our four-day event will be a ring-of-fire solar eclipse.”

This year’s festival will be held Thursday, May 17 through Sunday, May 20 and features Dr. Janna Levin, Professor of Astronomy at Columbia University’s Barnard College.

Her Keynote presentation entitled ―Booming Black Holes: Listening for the Sound of Intense Gravity will start at 8:30pm, Saturday, May 19 at Ebenezer’s Barn and Grill in Bryce Canyon City, adjacent to the park. Tickets available at the door—$3 per person or $10 per family.

Black Holes, the imploded remnants of massive stars, trap light and are therefore invisible, yet can they be heard? When black holes collide, they bang on space like mallets on a drum creating gravity waves in the very fabric of space. Within a few years, and with the help of sophisticated new instruments, it is likely that these waves can be detected and played back as sounds—and not just black holes, but exploding stars and colliding galaxies. Soon, Dr. Levin and other acoustic astrophysicists, will start downloading the soundtrack of the Universe. They might even be able to figure out if the Big Bang really went “BANG!

tirely new approach to exploring the universe that is likely to revolutionize astronomy – the mother of all sciences.

On Friday, May 18, guest speaker and PhD Archeologist, Jan Allen will present ―Maya Astronomers— Predictors of Doom?Learn whether the Maya actually predicted that December 21, 2012 would be the end of the world or a ―new beginning.

Every night, following these presentations, free stargazing with telescopes will be provided courtesy of the Salt Lake Astronomical Society and Bryce Canyon’s astronomy experts known as the ―Dark Rangers.”

Day time activities will have a variety of fun and educational activities including: looking for sunspots with solar telescopes, exploring a 1:10 billion scale model of the solar system, and the long standing family favorite—model rocket building and launching workshops (kits range in price from $12 to $30).

New this year, provided

by University of Utah Engineering students, will be live demonstrations of their robotic Martian Rover.

Finally, from 6:308:30pm on Sunday, May 20 experience the grand finale—the ―ring-of-fire solar eclipse.

As Dark Ranger Kevin Poe explains, ―Over any given region of the Earth, lunar eclipses occur about once every 12-18 months.

However, because the alignment of Sun, Earth, and Moon has to be so much more precise to create a solar eclipse, they only occur about once every 50 years (across any given patch of ground). Ring-offire solar eclipses happen when our Moon is at its maximum distance from Earth and therefore isn’t large enough, as seen from Earth, to completely hide our Sun. Instead we get a ring of the sun showing around the black edges of our silhouetted Moon—the ring-of-fire!” Though the entire process of our Moon moving in front of our Sun takes two hours, eclipse maximum lasts only 5 minutes. To make sure all can have a magnified view during those critical moments,

the park will provide realtime video projected from telescopes onto 20 x 10 ft. screens at all three of the eclipse viewing locations: Bryce and Inspiration Points, and Grand Hotel in Bryce Canyon City.

Throughout the festival, the Bryce Canyon Shuttle will provide free transportation to and from program venues, and overnight stay locations.

To make sure everyone has a safe experience, Bryce Canyon National Park will be providing FREE solar eclipse glasses to all in attendance. ―It’s okay to glance at the Sun for a second,” says Superintendent Bradybaugh. ― Your pupils will naturally constrict down to the size of a pin-hole to protect your eyes. However, eclipses trick the eyes. Because it seems so much darker, pupils dilate letting in far too much ultraviolet light causing long term or even permanent loss of vision. No type of sunglasses is dark enough. Be safe! Use our free eclipse glasses!” Adds Dark Ranger Poe, ―And don’t lose them! Not only do these custom designed glasses make a great souvenir, you can use them again for the Venus Transit on the afternoon of June 5th when the planet Venus, appearing as a small black dot, slowly crosses in front of our Sun. You may have a chance to see another solar eclipse, but nobody living today will ever see another Venus Transit!” Exclaims Poe, ― The next one won’t be until the year 2117!”

The park will offer over 100 astronomy programs this year — every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday night, May through October. But, the Astronomy Festival is the main event with telescope viewing each night. ―We hope to see you there!”

For more information about obtaining program tickets, shuttle-only road closures, amateur astronomer participation, and directory of area accommodations, consult the Bryce Canyon Astronomy Festival Website: http://www. nps.gov/brca/planyourvisit/ astrofest.htm, download the Astronomy Festival brochure, or call 435-8345322.

Stuffed deer heads on walls are bad enough, but it’s worse when they are wearing dark glasses and have streamers in their antlers because then you know they were enjoying themselves at a party when they were shot.

GARFIELD SCHOOL DISTRICT POSITIONS We are in the process of advertising for four positions in the District. The first position will be at Escalante High School. This position will be advertised as a part-time administrator and a part-time teaching position with preference given to math or science endorsements. This position is not an increase in staffing at Escalante High School; it is a replacement for the vacant full-time math position.

Garfield County School District will also be advertising for three elementary

positions. One position will be at Panguitch Elementary and paid totally out of the school’s trust land funds.

Trust Land monies are allocated by the State of Utah to be spent under the direction of a school improvement plan approved by the school community council. The school community councils are comprised of parents, teachers and administrators.

The second will be a 1st / 2nd full-time teaching position at Escalante Elementary. This position is vacant because two teachers will

be retiring from Escalante Elementary at the end of the year. The third full-time position will be at Boulder Elementary teaching K-6.

You may ask why we are rehiring positions when the District has released three provisional teachers. The answer is: we needed to have 3 full-time teaching equivalent (FTE) cuts in the District. In an attempt to explain how the District can hire new positions and still have a 3 FTE staffing cuts please refer to the following diagram.

By Cynthia Kimball “If a sin keeps resurfacing, it’s probably something you need to repent about,” said our Sunday School teacher.

He then told a story of when he was a bishop over his ward congregation. He said something kept resurfacing in his mind that he felt, because it was, he needed to talk to his stake president about it. Yet, he thought, “Oh my gosh, what if I get released from my calling as bishop based on what I tell my stake president?” But he forged on ahead anyway into his stake president’s office. Fortunately, for this bishop, his ward congregation and others, he was not released from his bishopric calling. Yet, he was released from his feelings of sin through repentance and the atonement.

Do you need to forge into your bishop’s office?

Is there something that keeps resurfacing that you haven’t yet repented about?

One church leader, Jay Jensen (1998), said to one young man he was interviewing, “You haven’t repented; you have just stopped doing something.”

Adding, “We can be forgiven for our transgressions, but we must understand that just to stop doing something is not repentance.”

I was recently listening to a talk on BYU-TV by a phenomenal speaker, Rob Garrett, of BYU-Idaho, whose talk, “Knowing Who You Are,” was brilliant. If you get a chance, check it out: http://www2.byui.edu/ Presentations/Transcripts/

Repent, be where you are supposed to be and do what you are supposed to be doing

Devotionals/2012_05_01_ Garrett.htm). Garrett states (2012), “There is safety and protection in being where you are supposed to be when you are supposed to be there. This advice will help us avoid situations of temptation and allow the Lord to use us as tools to do His work. We will be where He needs us to be. We must choose for ourselves and exercise our agency to follow this advice. Make an effort and be an agent. Be where you are supposed to be and do what you are supposed to be doing.”

I especially like the last sentence, “Be where you are supposed to be and do what you are supposed to be doing.”

And if we do that, according to Garrett, we can avoid temptation and “…allow the Lord to use us as tools to do His work.” I mean, after all, God’s not going to use us as tools in a bar, strip club or at a party where there’s alcohol and drugs.

Cuz we shouldn’t be there in the first place!

It’s also not a place where the gift of Holy Ghost would reside.

Instead, we need to be where we are supposed to be and do what we are supposed to be doing. And if, perchance, something you’ve done keeps resurfacing, go forward and repent since “…just to stop doing something is not repentance.”

Then, allow the Lord to use you as his tools to do His work.

Second Try

Arriving home from work at my usual hour of 5 p.m., I discovered that it had not been one of my wife’s better days. Nothing I said or did seemed to be right.

By 7 p.m. things had not changed, so I suggested I go outside, pretend I had just got home, and start all over again. My wife agreed.

I went outside, came back in and, with a big smile, announced, “Honey, I’m home!”

“And just where have you been?” she replied sharply. “It’s after seven o’clock!”

Driving Test

I’m a driving examiner for the Department of Motor Vehicles and while I was giving a road test to a young man, he went through a red light without stopping. I told him that he had automatically failed the test. We met up with his mother back at the office, and I explained what had happened.

At first she was speechless. Then she asked incredulously, “He ran a red light?”

“Yes,” I replied.

“Well,” persisted the mom, “how red was the light?”

Dog Grooming

A lady took her dog to the groomer at pet store for a haircut and asked what it would cost.

The receptionist looked at her from behind the counter and told her that a bath and haircut started at around fifty dollars, but there were many options, so the price could vary.

Holding on to her dog’s leash, the potential customer was visibly outraged.

“I only pay $25 for my own haircut!” said the woman indignantly.

The groomer replied, “That may be true, but then you don’t bite, do you?”

May 17, 2012 First Annual Ride with the Ranger Teasdale Park to Aquarius Guard Station

June 9th 2012 The Fremont River Ranger District and the Central Utah Back Country Horseman are sponsoring the First Annual “Ride with the Ranger” on June 9th, 2012.

This year’s focus will be equestrian use on the Fremont River Ranger District.

We have a fun and informal day planned for all who would like to participate at any or all of the activities Starting @ 9:00am to 12:30pm we will be having a livestock packing demonstration at the Teasdale Park.

Rick McCartney of Grover, Utah will demonstrate and provide hands on learning of packing livestock for the back country. Rick has extensive livestock packing experience and has volunteered to lead a discussion for the beginner to experienced livestock packer.

Hands on you’ll be able to practice handling horses, saddling with pack saddles, preparing loads, loading and unloading as well as personal and livestock safety.

12:30 to 1:00 Sack Lunches (Bring your own) 1:00-5:00 Saddle up the ponies or mules and ride with the Fremont River Ranger Kurt Robins, and Richfield Ranger Jason Kling from Teasdale Park to the Aquarius Guard Station on the GWT trail. (Approximately 7.5 miles of maintained trail with some most impressive landscape views) If you have questions for the Rangers you may reach them at: Kurt- 435-896-1021, or Jason- 435-896-1080.

6:00-7:30 Dinner will be served at Aquarius Guard Station. The menu will include chicken, mutton, taters, scones, beans, and salad. (Suggested $6.00 donation/plate) if you would like to just enjoy a dinner out at Aquarius Guard Station, no need to ride, just come for dinner and to visit.

Logistical Considerations for the ride: The plan is to spend the morning with Rick learning livestock packer skills. After a sack lunch, at 1:00pm, the ride from Teasdale Park to the Aquarius Guard Station will start. Forest Service drivers will be available to shuttle enough trucks and horse trailers to Aquarius Guard Station for the logistics of the ride.

You are welcome to stay and camp. There are a couple of horse corrals and a horse pasture with access to water.

Please RSVP by June 5th, 2012 to Jayne McEown at 435-836-2811 of your plans to attend and with any questions about the day.

Jarom Johnson we send you get well wishes and hope for a speedy recovery after you had a bad fall.

Hopefully things will be better for you soon. Jarom is the son of Carlon and Heather Johnson.

While being with Art as he had hip replacement surgery I ran into some of my old students who are working at Valley View Medical Center. Gina Nelson Perkins and her son live in Cedar and she works as a CNA in the hospital. Charlene Moss and I am sorry to say I did not get her married name, also works at Valley View in the Food Service division. Her supervisor said she was a good hire and she certainly was busy.

The folks at the hospital give good service.

We came on Friday to Garfield Memorial to go into rehab so Art could learn to walk with a new hip. I think half of Bryce Area was in the hospital.

Those I saw were Thelma Bybee, Agnes Littlefield, MaryLee Ramsay, Ella Bybee and if I missed anyone, sorry. The staff does a good job of keeping up with all of the people they have charge over. Alot of people. I have one question...the patients who were Mothers were wearing corsages given by the hospital. How come the nurses didn’t get them, they are Mothers too? While we were there the Sunshine Generation group from Circleville came in and performed for the residents of the extended care unit.

They were yound kids of all ages and they really sounded good. We had a chance to visit with Dennis and Brenda Shakespear as they

visited with MaryLee. Also saw Doyle and Kathryn Nielson when they came to visit Kathryn’s mother.

Marion and Catherine Littlefield were also visiting Agnes Littlefield and they had granddaughter, Britnee with them.

We are so excited to announce the birth of our little great-grandson, Kyden Isaac Jensen, born to Jordan and Shalynn Jensen and he is soooo cute. He weighed 8 lbs. 112 ozs and was 21” long. Can’t wait to get up there to see him in person.

Coming up on this Thursday will be the 4-8th grade track meet to be held at Bryce Valley High School.

Miss Garfield County, Malory Clarke did a program on her platform which is “The Magic of Music”.

Her sister, Megan Leech was with her as an assistant to help out. Malory goes to all the Garfield County School and teaches them what music in movies does and how it makes them feel. She taught them about studying music and how to use music in their life.

They played some notes of a song and the students guessed what movie it was from. Then they all got up and moved to music and it was really fun. Thanks Malory and Megan for a fun musical adventure.

FYI PANGUITCH By: Mack Oetting ~ E-mail: mackoetting @gmail.com What a beautiful day for Mothers Day. Our Choke Cherry trees are in bloom, Washington DC has nothing over us with their Cherry Blossom festival. Good news on our agriculture water, at least as far as I am concerned. Talking to Allen Henrie (City Manager) we will be getting ditch water, for your lawn for 85 days, this should run us till the middle of August, starting the first week in June. Allen said the water is 14 feet below the top of the dam, which is really good for as little of moisture we have received this year. The City started reading the meters the 15th so if you use domestic water on your lawn you will be charged for it till the middle of September. I believe you get the first 12,000 gal on your water bill and for each additional 1,000 gallons the charged will be $1.00.

To save domestic water on your lawn, water before 10 am and after 6 pm in the evening, you lose a lot of water to evaporation during the midday heat. The City will have out the schedule on what day your turn will be, be sure to turn off your valves, so when the water does come you won’t flood your yard.

The Community Family Night was a big success reported Melissa Veater, with over 300 in attendance.

Doug Murakami was the guest speaker, who is the Alcohol Education Director for the State of Utah.

He spoke on the keeping your kids away from alcohol. Like nearly anything worthwhile, keeping your kids alcohol-free takes effort, commitment and consistency, but it’s well worth it. Many thanks to all of the Lions Club Members who did the cooking.

Sunday is the Business Women’s Graduate Tea and the Class of 2012 graduation from Seminary. The seniors should really remember this day, for it will have a full Solar Eclipse, that will start at 4pm and run through 7 o’clock.

The High School Students picked trash up for their annual clean up of the road into Red Canyon. They did pick up about 10 full bags in this endeavor; a lot of hands make work a lot easier. The ninth grade Science class went down on the River Lane. Mr. Reader’s class was shown how to cut willows and transplant them along the banks of the Sevier River. Kevin Heaton from the BLM showed them if you cut the willows and trim off all of the branches,

you can transplant them in the sand on the river bank and in a year or two they will actually grow roots. In the afternoon the students learned how to check water and what bugs the fish eat off the rocks.

I also learned that Panguitch has two of the largest flocks of Sage Grosse in the State, from one of the Rangers. I wish I would have written down where they were, but she said there were about 25 birds in each location. She also said that Alton is not a nesting area, but the birds do fly over this area on their flight south.

Tonight the 17th is the start of 12th Annual Astronomy Festival and will end on the 20th with a Solar Eclipse. This is a great family outing, with Park ranger’s putting on a show at the amphitheatre at dusk and you will go to the north camp ground parking lot to view all of the telescopes that are there. Saturday morning there will be rocket ship building, with the first 20 receiving free rockets, at the Visitor Center and the firing of them will take

place in the afternoon. This Solar Eclipse will be visible all over the County, but you need to learn how to view this event, don’t look at the sun, because you will fry your eyes, use a cereal box and cut a hole in it and face a way from the sun. This is a real big event, with people coming from over the world and I understand that Ruby’s has been sold out for months.

The Gem Theater is now open for the summer. They will be open on Friday and Saturday till the first of June. They have the greatest ice cream in the world and you can get gift cards for their ice cream, they make wonderful gifts for the High School graduates.

Vee Henrie is calling it a day from being a school bus operator. Vee has been driving the Kids for 19 years and many years on the Spry run.

Vee also is the senior Lions Club member for I believe 40 years and is responsible for many activities that the Lions take part in.

Nothing worthwhile comes easy.

NATIONAL TRAILS DAY EVENT ON THE FISHLAKE

The Fishlake National Forest will help celebrate National Trails Day® on Saturday June 2, 2012 with a trail maintenance project on the Fremont River Ranger District. Also that day we will be celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Volunteers in National Forests Act. District employees, along with the Back Country Horsemen of Central Utah invite anyone that would like to volunteer to come out and help with a project to install several culverts, lay some gravel and do some tread work on the “South Tasha Trail” that runs from Tasha Campground going south to Frying Pan Campground. We will plan to meet at 9 a.m. at Frying Pan Campground. Look for the National Trails Day® sign.

Volunteers should bring gloves, long pants and shirts or jackets, plenty of water, and snacks. We will be serving a light lunch of hoagies and salads. Volunteers will need to bring their own drinks.

Those that want to participate will need to let the project organizer know by Friday June 1, 2012 so enough food can be prepared. We are asking for $5.00 per person for the lunch.

For more information about this project and to RSVP for the lunch please call the Volunteer Coordinator Jayne McEown at (435) 836-2811.

The National Trails Day® was established by the American Hiking Society to promote educational awareness about our nation’s 200,000 miles of trails. The society encourages outdoor recreation, volunteer service, and the experience of nature through hiking.

Speakers in the 2nd Ward were Bishop Link Chynoweth and counselor Brent Griffin. Their Primary children also sang some Mother’s Day songs.

Twenty one ladies were in attendance at the D. U. P. Meeting held May 10th.

The history was given by Thais Griffin. It was the history of her grandfather, John Roe. The D. U. P. lesson was about pioneer quilt making and was given by Marie Porter. Both were very interesting.

Peggy Soren was at the D. U. P. meeting and seems to be getting around pretty well since her hip surgery.

Marty Henry was wearing her brace at church on Sunday. She had surgery on her shoulder not too long ago.

Gloria Porter is home from rehab after having hip surgery. She is getting around with the help of a walker and seems to be getting along well.

Isn’t it great that the doctors can fix us up with new body parts now days?

Marlene and Stan Stowe and DeLane Griffin went to Kanab for a couple of days over the Mother’s Day weekend. They stayed with Anne and Frank Alleman at their home.

Marilee Miller went to Texas for the graduation of her son, Justin Miller.

He graduated from the Air Force Academy and will be stationed in Texas for a while.

School isn’t even out yet and it looks like May is just the beginning of a very busy summer.

Many college graduations are already over and, as always, we are very proud of our Escalante kids who always seem to excel in whatever they put their minds to.

Rachel Carter Coates graduated from SUU in Cedar City on May 4, 2012 with Suma Cum Laude honors, with a grade A average and Student of The year.

Eve Marsh has been in Spanish Fork tending the grandchildren while Ryan and Joy Marsh were on a cruise in the Caribbean.

Grandparents really do come in handy don’t they?

Tari Cottam, Director of the Miss Garfield County Pageant, and Malory Clark, the current Miss Garfield County, were in Orem last weekend attending the Miss Utah Service Day. While there they made pillow cases, Blankets, puppet kits, key chains, etc. all for the children at Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City. On Monday Malory and Tari spent time at both the high school and elementary school in Escalante and Malory did her presentation on “The Magic of Music.”

This year’s competition for Miss Garfield County will be on August 3rd.

Young ladies under the age of 24 who would like to compete can contact Tari Cottam.

I talked to Connie Jepsen recently. She and Alfred are back in Boulder for the summer. They say Faye Jepsen is doing better. She is out of the care center now and with her son, Wyatt, in Tooele. She is looking forward to attending the Haws Reunion in Boulder , in July, and that is giving her something to work toward.

Many of our young people will be graduating, coming home from college, etc. and we are all interested in them. Won’t you please give me a call and get their news in the paper? You will all be having company for our celebrations and we are all interested in that too, so help me out with the column, won’t you?

RACOON CAUSES OUTAGE IN UPPER WAYNE COUNTY

Garkane Energy Consumer/Members in Loa, Lyman, and Fremont experienced a power outage Friday May 11, 2012, due to araccoon that climbed onto the Substation Structure at the Lyman Substation.

Power to the area was off for about an hour and went off at approximately 4:00 a.m. Friday morning.

A raccoon was found at the Lyman Substation that had climbed onto the Substation Structure.

“Living where we live, we have an abundance of wildlife around us. Unfortunately, that same wildlife can cause havoc with our power lines.” Stated Garkane’s Area Manager, Phillip Burr. “We appreciate the efforts of our line crews that helped restore power in the early morning Friday, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience this power outage caused.”

This outage serves as a reminder for us all to plan ahead for a power outage.

Garkane reminds its customers to choose an easily accessible closet or cupboard for an emergency supply of flashlights, batteries, and other needed items.

WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL PRE-SCHOOL GRADUATION

On April 18th Wayne High School had their annual pre-school graduation. Families and friends were invited to see what their children had accomplished this school year.

This year we had a small class of children and students.

Students at the high school had worked very hard at preparing lesson plans to teach the children about math, English, writing, reading, and many more activities. Everyone had a great time. Many of the parents commented on how their children looked forward to going to preschool.

We would like to thank the parents, grandparents and other family members that brought their children to the high school twice a week and would pick them up also.

We know how hard that can be with their busy schedules.

The youth at Wayne High School did a great job of preparing and interacting with the children. I know that they will do a great job when they become parents one day.

This is my last year at Wayne High School and would personally like to thank all of the great support from the Wayne School District, the businesses, and the community for supporting this wonderful program for the students and me. I especially want to thank the community for letting me serve you with Sub for Santa and FCCLA. These are all great programs. You as a community need to feel proud of how you always step up for those less fortunate. You have done a great job of raising your children here in the county and have wonderful children. The first summer I was here, I can remember over 15 mothers that had come up to me and said we have great kids here in Wayne County; I thought what is wrong with your kids. I became paranoid, now I can say after teaching here for the past 4 years you have great kids. I am very appreciative to have been given this opportunity to teach them and get to know each of your children and you.

Thank you, Mrs. Kelly Sue Pyper

VIEWING THE ANNULAR ECLIPSE ON MAY 20TH By Kate Magargal

Eclipse chasers travel the world to put themselves in the path of totality, but this Sunday, an eclipse comes to us! All we have to do here, in southern Utah, is find a spot with a good western horizon and learn how to safely observe this special astronomical event.

Solar eclipses occur when the moon passes directly between the Earth and sun.

In many cases (about 26% of solar eclipses), the moon will totally obscure the disk of the sun, resulting in a total eclipse. Since the moon’s distance to earth varies by about 23,000 miles, it’s apparent size (how it appears to us) also varies. An annular eclipse (about 1/3 of all solar eclipses) occurs when the moon is far enough away so that it’s apparent size is smaller than the disk of the sun. Because of the size difference, the edge of the sun peeks around the edge of the moon, creating, as many are calling it, a “ring of fire.” Much of southern Utah, including much of Wayne County and most of Garfield County, is in the path of this rare phenomenon. Lucky us!

Safety Information.

NEVER look at the sun-

without special equipment.

In terms of safety, staring at the sun during an eclipse is hardly any different than staring at the sun any other time. Although the moon will block most of the visible light, harmful radiation can still damage the eyes of anyone starting directly at an eclipse. It is very important to plan ahead. Eclipse viewing glasses can be purchased at local stores, including Royal’s Food Town in Loa. Similar glasses will be available at the Bryce Canyon Astronomy Festival. Regular sunglasses, even multiple pairs stacked together, will not protect your eyes. Another method for viewing the eclipse is a pinhole projector - a simple, cheap construction project the whole family can help with. Pinhole projector instructions can be found on this website: http://www. exploratorium.edu/eclipse/ how.html.

Details. You will begin to see the moon cross the face of the sun at about 6:30pm on 5/20. The “ring of fire” will be visible only briefly from 7:31pm-7:34pm. The sun will set at 8:35pm, with a tiny sliver of the moon still visible.

80TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

Locations. The eclipse can be seen from any spot with a clear western horizon, however gatherings are planned in each county.

In Wayne County, join 4-H for observing at the Lyman Park. In Garfield County, join Bryce Canyon “dark rangers” and thousands of astronomy enthusiasts at the annual Bryce Canyon Astronomy Festival.

Astronomy Save-theDates. Astronomy fun will continue throughout the year! Save your pinhole projectors and eclipse glasses for viewing a Venus transit on June 6th. Mark your calendars now for the annual Heritage Starfest on October 12-13th (www. heritagestarfest.com). Other astronomical events will be announced in the paper as they draw near.

Have a safe and enjoyable eclipse and don’t forget to enjoy our dark skies as the nights grow warmer!

Allen R. Jones, born June 19, 1932 in Torrey, Utah.. He was the sixth child of Isaac Rulon and Rebecca May Allen Jones.

He married LaWana Durfey on March 26, 1952 in the Manti, LDS Temple. They have spent 60 years side by side; farming, owning and operating a business and raising a family.

Together they have 5 children: Jeneal Burrell (Don), Ronney Allen Jones, Randy Steven Jones, Valgene D. Jones and Jeannette Hamilton (Neil), 16 grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren.

In 1953 Dad and Mom moved to Salt Lake City, Utah where dad worked for Standard Oil for 10 years while going to school and learning the Automotive Business. In 1963 he opened Allen’s Automotive, Inc. in Granger, Utah. Dad is well known and respected in the Tire and Automotive Industry.

Dad was a farmer at heart, in Hunter, Utah he raised; horses, milk cows, beef steers, sheep, occasionally a pig, alfalfa and a garden. Later moving to South Jordan, Utah he continued to farm. Dad and mom taught us the value of hard work, and the importance of family.

Dad was a member of the National Guard, the South Jordan planning and zoning, the Granger Chamber of Commerce, the United Chamber of Commerce, Magna Mount Riders and the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Posse; where he served as 1st Lieutenant, 2nd Lieutenant and Captain two terms.

Dad’s roots in Wayne County run deep and when he had the opportunity to retire, dad and mom returned to, Bicknell, Utah. Soon after dad was called to serve as the Thurber Ward Bishop from 1992 to 1997, a calling in which he not only enjoyed but also cherished, dad always says, “those were the very best years in service to the Lord”. He has a special place in his heart for the members of this ward and community and those he served with.

In 2000 dad was appointed to serve as a Wayne County Commissioner, he was then reelected in November of 2002 to serve a second term which he served until 2006. A highlight, of which he was a part; was in the forming, planning and building of the Wayne County Community Center. He along with many others including; Brian Cottom and Senator’s Bob Bennett and Orrin Hatch were instrumental in procuring the funding. The WCCC opened in 2006 and is being enjoyed by the community of Wayne County. Dad served 6 years on the Six County AOG Board and was presented with the prestigious Governor’s Silver Bowl award for his outstanding service in behalf of the Wayne County Community.

In 2008, dad and mom moved to Teasdale, Utah. Wayne County is and always will be to dad the only place on earth.

Please join us for an Open House in his honor on May 26, 2012, at the WCCC, 475 S 300 E Bicknell, Utah, from 3:00-5:00pm. All friends, family and members of the community are invited to help celebrate dad’s 80th birthday. Refreshments will be served.

How Smokey Bear Helped Win World War II

Forest fires posed a terrifying threat during World War II. Fighting wildfires required huge chunks of precious manpower that otherwise could have been utilized for building tanks or guns. Infernos also swallowed up thousands of acres of wood, a crucial ingredient in everything from warships to gunstocks.

To curb forest fires, the U.S. Forest Service and the War Advertising Council teamed up on a propaganda campaign. Walt Disney loaned the government the use of Bambi for a year to get things rolling, but the Forest Service wanted their own anti-fire mascot.

Commercial illustrator Albert Staehle drafted an image of a shovel-toting bear. It took a few drafts, but after some government-mandated tweaks-including making the bear wear pants-Smokey was born.

When Smokey debuted in 1944, his first posters bore the slogan “Smokey says-Care will prevent 9 out of 10 forest fires!” Although the words weren’t as catchy a the venerable “Only YOU can prevent forest fires”-a line he picked up in 1947-the character resonated with the public. Soon, Smokey was showing up on billboards and in magazines, and Americans became a bit more careful with their campfires and cigarette butts.

When forestry workers rescued a bear cub from a New Mexico wildfire in 1950, the Forestry Service adopted the cub as the living version of Smokey.

The bear received so much fan mail that in 1964 he got his own ZIP code (20252).

Today, the Department of Agriculture pulls in more than $1 million a year licensing Smokey’s likeness, all of which goes to-you guessed it-fire prevention programs.

STATE SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT DR. LARRY SHUMWAY VISITS WAYNE SCHOOL DISTRICT

Dr. Larry Shumway, Utah State School Superintendent along with Dr. Martell Menlove, associate Superintendent, and their assistant, Tina Morandy visited Wayne School District on Wednesday, May 9. This visit was one of many the Superintendent is making around the state, in an effort to address local educational issues and concerns. School Administrators, along with parent representatives from each school Community Council, and also School Board members were invited to attend.

Part of the morning was spent with a short spotlight report on the educational efforts in the district and each school. The group was then bussed to Wayne High School, where they spent time touring the school, and attending a few classes for a short period of time. After returning to the District Office, Dr. Shumway reported on some of the results of the recent legislative issues and their effects of public education. He also entertained questions and addressed concerns from the group, especially in regards to rural education, and the challenges faced by rural educators, parents, and administration.

This was a wonderful opportunity for Wayne District to Host such an event. Everyone involved felt it was productive, and that it demonstrated a concerned effort from the State Office of Education, showing they are working cooperatively with all districts to support the improvement of education in the state.

A regional Superintendents meeting was held in the afternoon with Dr. Shumway, Dr. Menlove, and Superintendent Torgerson. Joining the meeting were superintendents from Piute, North Sanpete, Garfield, Juab, and Grand County School Districts.

We express appreciation to all who attended, especially the parents and School Board Members who gave of their time to continue to be involved and concerned in the educational efforts of our students.

COMMON (AND COSTLY) Estate Planning Mistakes

Costly mistakes can be made when doing estate planning. In most cases, mistakes are made by wellintentioned people who failed to take advantage of opportunities to accumulate wealth, shelter assets from estate tax, and protect estates for future generations. Some common estateplanning mistakes are listed here. By exercising care now, you can save a fortune later.

1. Neglecting items of sentimental value Billy left a portion of his estate to his children in equal shares, and some to the stepmother of his adult children.

Unfortunately, the will was silent as to distribution of his personal property, which included numerous paintings of purely sentimental value. The stepmother felt she was entitled to the paintings. The personal representative, however, distributed the paintings among the adult children.

The stepmother hired an attorney to fight for the paintings, which were ultimately divided evenly among the four beneficiaries. But the legal fees far exceeded the value of the paintings, family relations were strained, and in the end nobody was happy.

Solution: Some people wrongly believe that there is no place in a will for personal property that does not have significant monetary value. If you are leaving items of personal property, whether of actual or sentimental value, clearly state in your will how you want them to be distributed, or include them in the written list of specific gifts of personal property attached to your will.

2.

Failing to secure the documents Patty’s Uncle Bob, with whom she had a close relationship, died. Bob had prepared a will but it was nowhere to be found. Patty said Uncle Bob had promised her a substantial inheritance, but because the will was missing and she was not related to him by blood, the Court gave the entire estate to nieces and nephews who lived overseas -- and who Bob had never met!

Solution: Make copies of your documents and store them in a safe place. Put the original in a bank safety deposit box; even if the key is lost and the whereabouts of the box is unknown, it can always be located by a vault box search. Give copies to your personal representative and attorney. And keep a copy in a safe place at home.

3. Keeping secrets An elderly woman named Gwen died and left $40,000 to her devoted caretaker. The other beneficiaries of Gwen’s large estate included nephews and nieces who were jealous of the caretaker’s relationship with their aunt. When the will was read, they expressed anger that Gwen had left money to her caretaker. They argued that the caretaker had exercised undue influence over Gwen, and therefore was not entitled to the bequest. Although the bequest was upheld in court, the challenge was costly, caused delays, and upset Gwen’s devoted caretaker.

Solution: Make your feelings known to your personal representative and beneficiaries -- preferably before you die -- about which people you wish to leave bequests to. If you think this may cause conflict, explain in a letter why you feel the way you do; send the letter to all relevant beneficiaries and attach a copy of it to your will. Ideally, you should resolve potential disagreements and quell hostilities (as much as possible) while you are still alive.
