FIELD DIG NEAR FREMONT
On May 19, Steve Taylor of Fremont organized a wonderful field day for his Wayne County history class and members of the Old Spanish Trail Association (OSTA). Taylor received permission to conduct a dig in a field near Fremont. On January 13, 1854, John C. Fremont’s Fifth Expedition camped at this location in a grove of Cottonwood trees. Bob Leonard, U.S. Forest Service archeologist and OSTA member led the survey. Participants were instructed in how to use GPS coordinates to document each artifact found. The group used metal detectors to identify possible locations containing metal artifacts. Then, used shovels to dig them out. No evidence was found of the Fremont expedition, however the group did identify horseshoes, a shovelhead, an axe head, a few cut nails and other items from a homestead at the location. William Taylor built a home in the grove in 1878 and lived there until 1886 when he relocated to Idaho. Some of the artifacts found dated from that period. At the conclusion of the field day, the group enjoyed Steve Taylor’s Dutch oven ribs. Thanks to Steve for planning such an exciting and educational

KERRY ANDERSON RETIRES Kerry Anderson began his teaching career at Wayne High School in 1973 after graduating from BYU where he had a successful wrestling career. He has taught business, technology, history, driver’s education, physical education, and was the district technology director for a time period. When he started teaching at Wayne High School, there was not a baseball program, so he organized it. He was instrumental in creating the baseball complex we now have and successfully coached baseball for 25 years. In 1991, he put together and coached a girl’s softball team; they went undefeated that year and only lost to one team the next year, all the while playing against 2A teams, as no other 1A school had a girl’s softball team. He has coached track for both the boys and girls until this year. The girl’s team won the state title in 1991 and had a run of state championships for the years 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002… a six year streak. He and Greg Southwick coached together during this time. In 2007, the boy’s track team won the region team title and finished third in state. There have been numerous individual state champions and state championship teams in all areas of track and field. There have only been two wrestling coaches in the entire history of Wayne High, J. Alton Balle and Kerry Anderson; their coaching has covered a time span of approximately 70 years. Although Coach Balle did not have a championship
team, Kerry attributes him as building a winning tradition and setting a strong foundation for future success. Kerry has been given the honor as being the “most winning” coach in Utah high school wrestling history. He amassed 16 state championships and eight runner-ups...more than any other school being coached by the same coach. There have been 99 individual state wrestling champions, 27 All-Americans,and 20 region team titles. He was the Utah National Team Coach for eight years and coached numerous wrestlers from Utah at Jr. Nationals in Fargo, North Dakota. He served as a USA wrestling coach taking a team to Slovenia and coached many years at the Utah Summer Games. Kerry was one of the first coaches inducted into

ENTERTAINMENT & EVENTS PHS SPORTSLINE BY MACK OETTING
FISCAL YEAR END I would like to inform the public of positive news related to the closing of Garfield County School District’s budget fiscal year. We have calculated projected expenses for the rest of May and the through the end of June. If the projections remain true, the District will end this fiscal year a positive balance. The District will not need to borrow any monies from additional accounts, like capital for example, to break even this year. As you may be aware, this positive balance has not been in place for several fiscal years, in fact the District had to borrow from capital last year to break even. The best estimates at this point indicate approximately a $500,000 surplus to end the year. Many changes have happened over this year with some of the largest being staffing reductions and District employees sacrificing a 4% reduction in pay and decreased benefits. I would like to thank the employees for the willingness to make these difficult adjustments in order to bring the finances back in the black. Many employees have also been transferred or taken additional responsibilities at no additional compensation; to all these employees I am truly grateful. I also need to thank Maloy Dodds for his effort in preparing the budget which allowed us to
end the year with a positive balance. You may be asking if we have this surplus of funds, ‘what is the District going to do with it’? The answer is: prepare for the day when the District does not receive Secure Rural School (SRS) monies from the Federal government. The SRS money is sometimes referred to as Forest Service monies. The SRS funds have not been approved for the new fiscal year and relate to approximately $600,000. We are in the process of developing a budget without SRS funding in place. If we receive the funding after the budget is adopted, we can make
adjustments at that point in time, but to build this amount into our new budget with hopes that we receive this money in the future would be very detrimental to the District if the funds were not approved. We will have both the ending budget and proposed new budget for next year ready for the public to view in the first part of June. The School Board will be closing this fiscal year and adopting a new budget on June 14th at Bryce Valley High School at 5:00PM. We will have a public hearing to adopt this budget and we would encourage anyone interested to attend the meeting.
State Track and Field for 2012: Over the weekend the boys and girls track teams had a great outing. The boy’s team did much better than expected finishing in 7th place with 30 points, they were only 5th at region, but finished ahead of all region 20 teams but Milford. The girls had an outstanding meet finishing in 3rd place with 71 points behind Rich at 117 and Monticello at 80.

There has been many complaints about dogs running loose in our town and biting people. Everyone needs to be aware that there is a law against your dogs running loose and they will be impounded if caught. You may think that your dog is kind and would never hurt anyone, but someone else may be frightened by a dog that is loose in your yard. Please be courteous to your neighbors and keep your dogs either in a kennel or tied up so that it cannot bite or chase someone. We would also like to let everyone know that we are going to be much stricter about licensing your dogs this year. Those of you who have 4 or more dogs should have a kennel license.

A Little Story About A Woman Who Joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints: You Can Too!
I had an opportunity to interview a sister who converted to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Let me share with you a little about her conversion story and how she feels.
Mormon Church; they must be very threatened by us to bad mouth us.” That really had an impact on me because I needed to know the church was true and that kind of cemented it for me.
KIMBALL: How did you come to the gospel? KATHY: I married my husband who had been inactive for 18 years. When we moved into the ward with our two 10 year-old boys and the scout leader started coming around to get the boys involved in scouts and then the missionaries starting coming around and before you know it, my husband had been rebaptized. About a year later (it took me a year to accept everything because I had come from a fundamental Christian background), my husband baptized me and our 10 year-old boys on the same day.
KIMBALL: What do you love about the Gospel? KATHY: I love the fellowshipping in the Gospel. The comradery that you always know that you have someone with you that understands you and loves you. The charity of the ward in the church is amazing and it’s truly a gift to all of us and a great comfort to know that you have that bond and that fellowship.
KIMBALL: How did you know the gospel was true? KATHY: You know, what finally tipped me in the direction, knowing that the church was true, was when I saw how many other churches preached against the Mormon Church. It’s like the spirit said, “Why are they so threated by the
KIMBALL: Why do you think others should have the Gospel of Jesus Christ? KATHY: Because everyone needs the charity of Christ in their life and the Atonement. They need it because without it, what is there to live for? If you don’t have the Gospel and know that there’s a life after this one, what would make you continue living on a bad day? KIMBALL: What’s your favorite calling in the church? KATHY: I actually have two. One was young
women. I love, loved the young woman and the way they were so inspirational and their strength of their testimonies was so inspirational. Their spirits kept me going sometimes when I didn’t want to keep going because they were just so good and so loving and so sweet. But my second favorite calling is the nursery because I love the babies. And even the babies, they come in with their testimonies. Their parents have taught them about Jesus. They recognize Jesus’ name and they pray and they same, “Amen.” It’s inspiring that families are so willing to teach even their infant toddler children to read the scriptures every day. It’s just a joy to work with the babies.
Second Notice
A taxpayer received a strongly worded “second notice” that his taxes were overdue. Hastening to the collector’s office, he paid his bill, saying apologetically that he had overlooked the first notice. “Oh,” confided the collector with a smile, “we don’t send out first notices. We have found that the second notices are more effective.”
First Aid
After an accident, a woman stepped forward and prepared to help the victim. She was asked to step aside by a man who announced, “Step back please! I’ve had a course in first aid and I’m trained in CPR.” The woman watched his procedures for a few moments, then tapped him on the shoulder. “When you get to the part about calling a doctor,” she said, “I’m already here!”
Mortgage Payment
Finally, our last mortgage payment came due. To make a ceremony of it, we went to the bank and paid in person. The teller processed everything and handed me the closing papers. Heading for the door, I suddenly remembered a rebate check I’d brought along to cash. I went back to the same teller. “Sorry, we can’t do that,” she explained. “You don’t have an account here.”
KIMBALL: If you could sum up the gospel in one word, what would you say? KATHY: Happy. Cynthia Kimball is a professional speaker and trainer through her company Every1Counts, LLC, and a doctoral student in Workforce Education Leadership. She also writes frequently through Deseret Connect. E-mail: kimball@every1counts.net
CROWD GATHERS NEAR GREEN RIVER TO PROTEST NUKE PLANT PLAN Utah and Downriver Communities Host Successful Protest--Vow to Escalate Campaign
Answers for this week
The desert near Green River came alive Saturday evening as more than 100 people – bearing giant puppets, colorful costumes and a solar-powered sound system – gathered to protest a nuclear power plant proposed nearby. Indigenous people from near the lower Colorado River traveled over 600 miles to attend the event and stand in solidarity with protestors from Utah and beyond. The Fort Mojave Indian Tribe, which sent an official delegation all the way from their reservation in Needles, California, had previously defeated a proposed nuclear waste dump near their lands. They reported fears that a nuclear reactor in Green River could dewater and contaminate the Colorado River that is the heart of their lands, people and culture. “The Colorado River is the lifeline of all the tribes and all the people,” said Alfredo Figueroa, a Chemehuevi Indian and resident of Blythe, California. The Green River is the largest tributary of the Colorado. Ron Van Fleet of the Fort Mojave Indian Tribe addressed what he referred to as the rally’s “warrior society” and urged those present to build a resistance, especially for future generations. “I have 32 grandchildren. I wouldn’t give any of them up to nuclear waste.” He continued, “They [nuclear plant proponents] say they have millions of dollars to do this project, but you know what they don’t have?
They don’t have heart.” Protestors held signs reading, “You Lie, We Die,” “Glow to Hell” and “People Over Profits.” Mr. Burns, a fictional power plant owner from the popular TV show “The Simpsons,” presided over the event in puppet form while a pink dragon – which Figueroa referred to as the Plumed Serpent, an important Aztec god – snaked through the crowd. Victor Van Fleet sang several traditional Mojave “Bird Songs” that tell stories of the Colorado River river and the tribe’s culture. Attendants from a nearby arts festival brought a massive solar-powered speaker set, playing river songs over the crowd. Blue Castle Holdings, a Utah-based company with former state representative Aaron Tilton at its helm, hopes to build two 1500-megawatt reactors on the outskirts of the town of Green River. Earlier this year, the company was granted water rights for the project by the state engineer. Now, it is in the process of obtaining an Early Site Permit from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Those protesting this project are motivated by a number of concerns. “We’re here to show this is not the place,” said Craig Cain, a protest attendee dressed in a gas mask and HAZMAT suit. “This is a desert, and nuclear reactors are water-hungry things.” The plant would divert nearly 48 million gallons of water a day from the Green River, a waterway recently
named the second-most endangered river in the nation in a report by American Rivers. Such a withdrawal, according to the No Green River Nuke Coalition, could have deleterious effects on native fish and a local tourism industry dependent on river running. A broad coalition of groups, business and individuals opposed to the reactor project has filed a suit in Utah District Court seeking to have the water rights decision overturned. “Forget politics--the wise use of scarce desert water is important to everyone,” said protest organizer Laurel Hagen. “Even for those who support nuclear power, we should all demand that any company planning to build nuclear reactors has the experience and ability to do it.” Blue Castle Holdings made headlines earlier this
year when it was learned that the Securities and Exchange Commission had charged the company’s only named investor, LeadDog Capital, with fraud and illegal practices. The company has announced no further financial investors or utility commitments. The estimated cost of the plant is $13 to $16 billion. Ken Sleight, Moab’s iconic boatman, horseman and friend of Ed Abbey, told the crowd, “This is never going to be but, by God, we’re going to have to fight for it.” Steve Lopez, spokesman for the Fort Mojave Indian Tribe, reiterated Sleight’s comments. “It took us a long time to stop the nuclear waste project where we are at, but all we have is time. Be prepared for a battle. Our longterm objective is to win the war.”

DRYING CONDITIONS WILL GREET VISITORS THIS MEMORIAL DAY
This Memorial Day weekend will bring visitors to the Fishlake National Forest from throughout Utah and beyond. Unlike last year when winter snow lingered, this year sees much of the snow already gone and most campgrounds across the Forest open and ready for business. Except in higher elevations, roads and trails will be open as well, however some may be muddy in spots and travelers are advised to avoid these areas to minimize damage to the road or trail surfaces. With the early snow melt, fire danger is on the rise. Forest vegetation and ground fuels have dried to the point where fire danger is now considered high in many areas of the Forest. As you recreate on the Fishlake National Forest please remember to be careful with fire and ensure your campfires are dead out before leaving your camping areas. When you do have a campfire please remember and strictly follow these precautions: · Check to find out if fire restrictions are currently in place. · Always clear flammable vegetation and debris 5 feet away from the fire ring. · Always have a full bucket of water close to the campfire. · Always have a shovel on hand and available. · Always put the campfire out when you retire for the night or leave the camp. · Always drown the fire, stir the ashes, drown and stir again until it is dead out. · Always have an adult present. · Never have a campfire when it is windy, hot, and dry. Thank you for your fire prevention assistance and have a safe and fun visit to the Fishlake National Forest. For additional information about recreation opportunities visit the Forest’s web site at: http://www.fs.usda.gov/recmain/fishlake/recreation .

She got her degree in Communications and graduated with high honors. She was picked at the Outstanding Communications Student. Mc Koye is the daughter of Mc Clain and Merrilee Mecham of Tropic. Proud Grandparents are Bart and Peggy Palmer and Stan and Nellie Rae Mecham. The Tropic Heritage Center parking lot at the back will be torn up for about a month as they are making an effort to improve the parking situation and make it easier for people to come to the Heritage Center in inclement weather. It will be easier if you park out front and enter that way. The 5th and 6th baseball team played Panguitch last week and lost by 2 runs. There will be no games this week due to graduation, but next week there will be three games at home. The 3rd and 4th grade team also played Panguitch and lost by 4 runs. They will play next week at home. No game this week. We are delighted to have our granddaughter, Joanna Jensen down with us for the summer. She is working at Ruby’s Inn and has added a bright light to our home. The fourth graders went to Frontier State Park in Cedar City and had a very good time learning about our pioneers. The Bryce Branch of the LDS church began on Sunday the 20th of May. The water in Henrieville will be off for a few weeks while they repair the line. No sprinklers or lawn watering for a few weeks folks. In the Dixie Regional Hospital at this time is Charlie Francisco and Devar Pollock. There was a third person announced but my note taking was slow.
I will report it next week. Sorry. In Garfield Memorial is Mary Lee Ramsay, Arthur Syrett, Agnes Littlefield and Thelma Bybee. We wish all of these people a speedy and healthy recovery. You are all in our prayers and thoughts. Condolences to the family of Karen Shakespear Durfey who passed away last week. Congratulations to Brennan Stewart who was ordained a Priest in the Tropic Ward. Anita Fletcher reports that Jonathon and Stephanie Scott of Mesa Arizona are here for a visit with the Fletchers. They brought their six children of the heart with them to visit their grandparents and are excited to announce they are going to have a baby of their own in August. Everyone is very excited. Michael and Rimi Fletcher of Parowan and their four children came to visit also. Good time catching up on news from everyone. Catherine Littlefield reported that she had a wonderful Mother’s Day.

Marion, Catherine’s husband, cooked for everyone and all had a great time and Catherine was happy to have everyone there. A reminder that the roads up around Ruby’s and Bryce Canyon will be getting asphalt this week. There may be up to 15 minute delays so be aware. Seventy six Daughter’s of the Utah Pioneers held a convention on Saturday the 19th of May and it was a big success. The food was great thanks to Ruby’s Inn and the conversation and meetings went well. Miriam Wagstaff honored us with a Violin medley of tunes and she was wonderful. She is the daughter of Clay and Rebecca Wagstaff. Honored by the DUP was Glenna Fletcher who was surprised to find out she was the one.

As required by the National Environmental Policy Act, an Environmental Review will be prepared that evaluates the potential environmental effects and consequences of the proposed project. If implemented, the proposed project may convert important farmlands, wetlands, or have an Adverse Effect to Cultural Resources. The purpose of this notice is to inform the public of the Financial Assistance request, potential Adverse Effects, and request comments concerning the proposed project, alternative sites or actions that would avoid potential impacts, and methods that could be used to minimize these impacts. The project would occur on public lands administered by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and existing roads within the limits of the incorporated Bicknell Town, Utah. The Town of Bicknell has found the need to improve its culinary water system based on the following criteria: * The system does not have adequate water sources to meet the current need for indoor, outdoor and fire prevention water uses. * The system will not have adequate storage capacity as well as water sources to meet future indoor, outdoor and fire prevention water needs. * The existing water system does not have the capacity to continuously disinfect the mountain spring water. The existing metering building needs to be replaced with a new chlorination building. * Within the boundaries of the incorporated Bicknell Town, some distribution lines are too small, and additional valves and hydrants are needed to meet normal water supply and fire prevention requirements. * The metering system is outdated and does not meet back flow prevention requirements issued by the state. The metering system is in need of replacement. To provide Bicknell residents with a safe and adequate water supply system, the Town of Bicknell has proposed some culinary water system improvements. These improvements include redevelopment of their Mountain Springs located on the Thousand Lake Plateau, the development of a new spring area near these existing springs, construction of a new 250,000 gallon storage facility, the construction of a new chlorination building, and some distribution improvements within the limits of Bicknell Town, Utah. Copies of the Application and Environmental Review, when completed, will be available for at 138 South Main, Fremont River Ranger District, Loa UT, 84747. For further information contact Cody Clark, Recreation Manager, at 435.896.1023. Any person interested in commenting on this proposed project should submit comments to the address above by June 30, 2012. Published in The Wayne and Garfield County Insider on MAY 24, 2012.

FYI PANGUITCH By: Mack Oetting ~ E-mail: mackoetting @gmail.com CONGRATULATION TO THE CLASS OF 2012. The Class of 2012 has taken the first step to a successful life. This was a fun class that got along well with each other and excelled in academics. They have two Validictorum Natasha Barney and Noelle Perkins. Carly Holman joins an elite group making 4 All State Academic teams, cross country, volleyball, basketball and track. Jory Owens is the first four time Bob Cat All Region wrestler and three times All State Wrestler. Many of the students in the class of 2012 also made All State teams in Volleyball, Wrestling and Baseball. There are a number of the students that because of their grades and leadership abilities are receiving full ride scholarships. Good luck to all of you in furthering your education. Graduation is tonight Thursday 24th. Last Sunday. The Panguitch Business Women sponsored a Graduation Tea for the Class of 2012. Highlights included the Keynote speaker Don Ipson. He was born and raised here and emphasized the need to further their education. Marilyn Bulkley was remembered as a long time friend and business women who always contributed to the Graduation Tea. Scholarship winners of $200.00 each went to Natasha Barney and Chelsee Draper. Stories of the students were read and laughed over. Thanks to Karrin Harris, President, making it all come together. Parents, Grandparents, friends and teachers made up the audience. Strawberry shortcake and an eclipse topped off the evening. Following the Graduation Tea, Seminary Graduation was held. Congratulations to all who went the extra mile and graduated from High School as well as Seminary. You always amaze us! Curtis Barney reported that 7 students received their High School and GED, up at the Prison Graduation. 15 other students received one year Certificates from the Southwest Applied Technology Center. Curtis’s education program is well known throughout the State and any education these men can get helps them when they return to society. Jennifer Bremner reported that Panguitch had another excellent blood drive, bringing in about 60 pints of the good stuff. The Red Cross loves our area, they do much better here than bigger cities. Thanks Panguitch the blood you gave will go along ways in helping others with their health
problems. This weekend is Memorial weekend, when we honor our loved ones and family members that put us here. The American Legion also honor the deceased Veterans with a flag on their grave. If we have missed any of the veterans grave with a cross please call me at 676-2418 and will rush one out. Each year we loose more and more of these Heroes and some slip through without the Legion being able to honor them. In the next couple of days, go out in your garage and find all that wonderful stuff that you haven’t used in ten years and haul it down to the Big Yard Sale on Main Street this Saturday and make a few bucks off it. The Main Street Committee has a full menu of fun things to do on Saturday besides the yard sale, shoot outs, bank robberies, book signing and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid playing at the Gem theater. For the first what seems like years the wind is not blowing and a cloud is covering up the sun and blocking the Solar Eclipse. At 6:15 the cloud finally departed and I am viewing the Sun through my Grandsons welding mask and so far the moon is not doing its job, but it’ early. While working at the Quilt Walk Park, a couple came up, they were from England and were here just for this Eclipse. They planed there vacation around Eclipses, their last one was in China and their next will be in Greenland. They said these phenomenons only follow about a 150 mile path and they were headed out to Bryce Canyon to view it. They say the best place to view the Eclipse is in Kanaraville just south of Cedar City. This Ring of Fire only last 4 ½ minutes and is supposed to be here at 7:30, hope you took this in, be-
cause it won’t be back here for 117 years. Does anyone know how someone can figure this out? Ruby’s has been sold out for months for this event. At 6:40 the Eclipse has started, and just like advertised at 7:33 we had the ring of fire, all I can say is WOW, no wonder so many people come from so far away for 5 minutes of wonderment. I believe that Kanarraville’s viewing could not have been any better. Debbie Pollock took the High School students out to Little Dam to help rebuild Marilyn Bulkley’s outdoor classroom, this last Tuesday. Marilyn made this a great learning center, only to see it wiped out by a flood. Thank you Mrs. Pollock for caring enough to bring back this learning center for future generations. Sorry to hear another young life has come to an end through a tragic situation. The accident took place at Sanford Road and Highway 89 and took the life of Mary “Kathy” Beck. She left behind 4 small children; a memorial fund has been set up in her name at Zions Bank, along with donation jars set up at the various location through out the town. It’s that time of the year, the Quilt Walk Play will be here during the second week in June, 7th, 8th, and 9th. There will be a full cast rehearsal on Wednesday 30th and Thursday 31st at 6:30 at the Social Hall. I am looking forward to seeing the handsome John Lowell Butler the 3rd. The Quilt Walk Festival starts the second week and now is the time to enroll in the Quilting Classes and if you want to take part in the fun, call Elaine Baldwin at 6762403 to volunteer. Do we live in Paradise or what? Mack O

Torrey Tree Planting Day
Bring your gloves and shovel to help Torrey Mayor Adus Dorsey plant trees on Torrey’s Main Street on Tuesday, May 29. We’ll meet at 8:00 in front of Austin’s Chuckwagon and get to work replacing trees that were lost to busy beaver last fall and protecting vulnerable ones. Mayor Adus received a grant this year from Tree Utah to purchase new trees and protective fencing, and folks from Tree Utah and the Grand Canyon Trust will be on hand to give us some pointers on helping Torrey’s newest trees survive the dry year and how to protect all Torrey’s trees from beaver. Earlier this month, the Grand Canyon Trust, Boulder Community Alliance, and Utah’s Division of Wildlife Resources livetrapped nine beaver from irrigation ditches around Panguitch and relocated the industrious water engineers to help restore streams in Dixie National Forest, and if the beaver return to Torrey the same help is available here.

Utah 4-H is one of only two youth groups allowed to use the House Chamber and sit in the House seats, so this was an awesome opportunity. Approximately 90 youth from across the State attended the event where

they had hands on experience learning the entire process of how Utah laws are made. Youth were considered Representatives for the day and learned about debating legislation, lobbying, voting, and negotiating in a committee. The day began with guest speakers including Speaker of the House Rebecca Lockhart, a lesson on the legislative process, and committee meetings. The second half of the day included a tour of the Capitol building, the Rules Committee deciding the order of the bills to be presented, and a two and a half hour debate over the 15 bills that the youth presented. Garfield Counties Emily Singletary presented HB0400 S01 -Traumatic Head and Spinal Cord In-
jury Rehabilitation Fund, Wayne Counties Velden Noyes presented SB0182 Expungement of Drug Offenses and Megan Sorenson presented HB0245S03 - Amendment to Definition of Smoking in Utah Indoor Clean Air Act.

The word on the street is that David Moosman, his crew and various sub-contractors in the area have created something spectacular on Main-Street in Torrey, for owner Randall Stutman. On schedule the Saddelery Steakhouse & Bar opened its doors to the public on May 18th in fine fashion. Workers were seen making final arrangements up to the last minute and afterwards customers reported a fine dining and western experience. Not having the personal opportunity to experience the newest business establishment in Torrey, it is hopeful that the new employment opportunity in Wayne County will provide an economical boost and a new tourist attraction to Wayne County. Torrey Town, its maintenance personnel and hired help have been hard at work at the Torrey Cemetery to insure that this will be a memorable Memorial Day. A newly constructed interpretational rock wall is being constructed to commemorate past, present and future Torrey residents. Funds for the new rock wall are part of a gracious gift from the Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area and a matching grant procured by Jen Howe a respected member of the Torrey Town Council. Under the direction of Janet Hansen, Torrey Town Park’s Supervisor, a new retaining wall has been constructed for an outdoor barbecue area. This new addition to the Torrey Town Park will allow residents and visitors to enjoy the great outdoors that Torrey and Wayne County is famous for. Wayne High graduation commencement for the class of 2012 will take place at 4:00 pm on Friday the 25th of May, at Wayne High. Graduating seniors from the Torrey, Teasdale and Grover area are, Darci Clark, Whitney Coleman, Haley Robins, Hagan Ekker, Olivia Leavitt and Dan Emrich. Congratulations go out to all Wayne High Graduates for their educational accomplishments and best wishes for their future endeavors. “Go Badgers”. As a note of caution, anyone traveling the Notom road from the Garfield County line to Sandy Ranch, (or the other way around) can and will experience a ride of a lifetime. Brown Brother’s Construction (BBC) and Harward and Reese employees are doing a fantastic job of rebuilding the dirt road and constant washed out culverts. There are more Wayne County boys at work on that road project than I have seen in a long time. Personally I would suggest four-wheel drive in traversing the area, (during the day time), between Five-Mile wash and Karl Don Taylor’s camp. That is unless you don’t mind a major equipment push from “Whitey” or “Rich”, on a D-9 Cat (or bigger). Be sure to roll up your window if you see Bobby coming in the water truck, and wave real big when you see Splig, Logan and everybody else, as it is a good chance they will be the ones to help you out of a tough spot when you need it the most. Thanks Fellas! Buy local, hire local, promote local, its makes local life better for us all.

ESCALANTE NEWS
Marlene Haws Ph: 826-4859 • marleneh@color-country.net Escalante has been filled with people this past week. That is always good news for the businesses, who seemed to be doing very well. They had a long dry spell during the winter so it’s time things picked up. You would have thought it was a holiday weekend, but apparently a lot of people came here to get a clearer view of the eclipse of the sun! The weather was very cooperative, it was as clear as a bell. Hot too! It was 88 degrees on Sunday! I didn’t hear of anyone here renting porta-potties like they did in Kanarraville, but we didn’t have as many people here either. We have a new business in town. The frosty shop is open again and under new management, which may take the strain off some of the other eating places. Charlene Bernardo has gone to Colorado again to help keep fire fighters in supplies. She helps do the ordering and pickup. I’m sure there are probably others from here who went too but I don’t know who they are. It seems early for fires. Hope that is not an indication of what is to come this summer. Robert Haws drove up on the mountain last weekend and says it looked good up there. Also said the Roundy Reservoir was as full as he has seen it for a few years. He saw deer and elk and caught a few fish out of Posey Lake before he came home. Arnold Alvey has a couple of black eyes. He had surgery on both of them and is doing well but won’t be
able to do much for a while. Bobbi Coughlin had surgery last week. It turns out it was a little more complicated than had been expected, but she is back home and seems to be doing well. However, she is not back on Facebook yet! Thirteen daughters of the Utah Pioneers went from here to a convention at Ruby’s Inn last Saturday. Included in the group were: Sandra Porter, Julie Ford, Sandra Miller, Rolain Alvey, Ardis Christensen, Almeda Haycock, Joleen Dodge, Carolyn Porter, Martha Schow, Golda Cottam, Deon Alvey, Marlene Haws and Victory Crawford. They also picked Wynona Henderson up in Henrieville. Sandra Porter has been released as Captain of the group and Victory Crawford will take her place in the Fall of this year. Sandra Porter went to Riverton after the meeting to visit with her son and daughter-in-law, Jay and Laura Hales and their children. Patrice Cottam went to Kanab for an overnight visit with her daughter and sonin-law, Elisa and Nathan Lyman and family. My little granddaughter, McKynlee Cottam, called and invited me to go with her to the science fair at her Escalante Elementary School last Friday. It was all about the National Parks and each student told about one of them. They were very well prepared and it was very interesting. Marleen Dunn is their teacher. I didn’t get to visit any of the other classes but it looked like they were
all doing something similar. There are not many school days left so they are all doing their end of year things. Where does the time go? Kathleen Woolsey came from Cedar City to visit with her mom, Thelma Marsh, while her husband, Warren Woolsey, was attending a Dental Conference in Houston, Texas. Ray and Lana Christian had a visit from their sons, Forest and Spencer Christian and their families. I think this may have been a Mother’s Day visit. Former resident Vivian Shurtz Collard celebrated her 88th birthday on May 4th and on May 16th her husband Steve passed away. Our condolences to the Collard family and the Shurtz’s. Ben and Renee Porter made a trip to Provo and back this week. I think Ben wanted to lead the procession of Porter’s back down this way. They are having their Lee Porter Reunion this weekend. Gayle and Ken Prentice were due to arrive in town yesterday. They will be here for the summer. Welcome back folks! Jim and Jolynn Spencer are in town. Tyson and Kelsey Torgersen and their spouses visited with their parents, Alan and Melani Torgersen. Happy birthday to Carrie Griffin, May 22nd. This will be a busy weekend, so PLEASE call me with your news. I know there will be lots of visitors and family reunions taking place!

AM I REQUIRED TO TREAT MY CHILDREN EQUALLY IN MY ESTATE DISTRIBUTION PLAN?
No. The manner in which you wish to distribute your assets upon your death is very personal in nature. You may choose to have your assets distributed equally among your children or in whatever proportions you may deem appropriate. If you do not take your estate planning into your own hands, the state in which you live will normally have its own distribution scheme, which seldom represents a decedent’s wishes. Since every person’s situation is different, your estate planning attorney will draft your estate planning documents to comply with your wishes while, at the same time, directing you toward realistic and tax-effective goals. You may want to disinherit a child for several reasons. Your child may have sufficient resources of his or her own; your child may
be undeserving of an inheritance; your other children may have greater or special needs; or you may not want to compound a child’s own estate tax liability. Most state laws permit you to totally disinherit a child, regardless of reason. However, care must be taken in order to effectively disinherit a child. First, it is important that you have a will or a trust. If you die intestate (without an estate plan), state laws provide that your children are entitled to a share of your estate. Therefore, if you die intestate, the child you wanted to disinherit will share in your estate against your wishes. If it is your intention to disinherit your child, it is imperative to specifically reference that child by name in your will and/or trust and acknowledge that you are intentionally not providing for that child. Failure to do so could allow that disgruntled child to claim that he or she was unintentionally “omitted” from your estate plan and force a share of your estate, thus thwarting your wishes. Using a trust may provide additional benefits over a will when intentionally disinheriting a child. Because trusts are not automatically subject to the jurisdiction
of the probate court, the notification requirements of the probate court do not apply. The trustee of your trust is under no obligation to provide the disinherited child with the details of your estate plan since he or she is not a beneficiary. Additionally, should your disgruntled, disinherited child choose to challenge the validity of your trust, he or she confronts a number of obstacles not present in the probate process. Disinheritance is a personal issue. One who wishes to disinherit a child may find that there are other effective options, such as putting assets in a separate trust for that child, with a trustee of your choice making the decisions of what the money can, and can not, be used for. It may be wise to consult an estate planning attorney to become informed of all your options before making decisions that affect the distribution of your estate, and possibly the harmony of your family, once you are gone.

FREE PUBLIC TOURS AVAILABLE AT HANKSVILLE-BURPEE DINOSAUR QUARRY Education personnel from the Burpee Museum will be on site at the HanksvilleBurpee Dinosaur Quarry to conduct free guided tours for the public from June 5 through June 17. Guides will provide information on various paleontological excavations and will answer questions about this important and valuable site. The Bureau of Land Management Henry Mountain Field Station and the Burpee Museum are partners on this long-term research initiative and interpretive plans to provide for continued educational and recreational opportunities at the quarry. The tours are conducted by Burpee Museum staff, and funded by the Paleontological Society and Canyonlands Natural History Association. This summer marks the fifth season that paleontologists from the Burpee Museum of Rockford, Ill., have conducted excavations at the site. The quarry has yielded long-necked sauropods, carnivorous dinosaurs and a possible herbivorous stegosaurus. The Hanksville-Burpee site is approximately 145-150 million years old. Located in a preserved river channel, the quarry contains the
fossilized remains of multiple dinosaur skeletons, animal burrows and large petrified tree trunks. Summer temperatures may reach the upper 90s; visitors are expected to carry at least a quart of water to sustain them during the hour long trek and should arrive prepared for such conditions. There are no developed facilities located at the quarry site. Five tours will be offered each day at: 10 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 1 p.m., 2:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. Tours last approximately one hour. Groups will be limited to a maximum of 25 people per tour on a first come, first served basis. All visitors are required to sign in before starting the tour at the Burpee Dinosaur Quarry. Tours will only be offered under
favorable weather conditions– if inclement weather conditions occur, tours will be cancelled. Notification signs will be posted off of Highway 24 detailing whether the quarry tours are operating each day. The Hanksville-Burpee Dinosaur Quarry is located approximately 10 miles northwest of Hanksville, Utah. The road into the site is not maintained for passenger cars. High clearance vehicles are recommended to access the quarry and four-wheel drive vehicles may be necessary during and/or after storm events. Directions and other information regarding this site can be obtained by contacting the BLM office in Hanksville, Utah at 380 South 100 West, or call Sue Fivecoat at (435) 542-3461.
USOC TO SELL STITCHES IN OPENING CEREMONY FLAG... For those wanting to make an unique donation to the US Olympians, the Buy-a-Stich program is really cool! The London Summer Olympics open in 100 days, which the U.S. Olympic Committee recently marked with a gathering of athletes in Times Square and the launch of a new fundraising campaign, “Raise Our Flag.” Track and field’s Allyson Felix and swimming’s Missy Franklin were among the athletes in New York signing autographs and doing media interviews. The campaign asks donors to contribute stitches, at $12 per stitch, toward an American flag that the U.S. team will carry in the opening ceremony on July 27. The flag might also be used in victory celebrations in London. Fans can see the flag being made at New Jerseybased Annin Flagmakers on the USOC web site, www.teamusa.org. The flag is scheduled to be completed by July 13. “One of the key points we wanted to get across to Americans is the idea that, as far as the U.S. Olympic team goes, we receive no government funding,” says Lisa Baird, the USOC’s chief marketing officer. “We are wholly reliant on sponsors and Americans, via their donations.” The USOC has made fundraising a focus in recent years, netting $12.5 million in donations since January 2009, a 49% increase over the previous four-year Olympic cycle that culminated with the 2008 Games. After 10 sponsors chose not to renew after 2008, the USOC has signed enough new sponsors to equal the sponsorship and licensing revenue that it had at this point four years ago. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - If any of our readers discover something you consider special...Please call it to me: (619) 840-1818

2012 MEMORIAL DAY FOREST SERVICE CAMPGROUND STATUS AND SAFETY TIPS
It’s time to gather up the kids and the camping gear and head to your favorite camping spot. Memorial Day weekend is the kick off for the summer to come, and traditionally is a very busy weekend at campgrounds and picnic areas on the national forests of Utah. Most campgrounds are now open throughout the state. Higher-elevation campgrounds, roads and trails may still be snow covered or muddy, leaving these areas vulnerable to damage. Safety is always a concern. Rivers, streams and creeks are running very high and fast and are extremely dangerous. Please be careful and keep a watchful eye on children and pets while recreating in these areas. Off-highway vehicle users are reminded to ride only where permitted. Remember to always be a responsible rider. If you are planning to use livestock on National Forest lands, remember that you are permitted to use only certified weed free straw, hay or pellets. When hiking, always carry extra water and food and take along a coat and something to make a fire with, just in case you get stuck on the mountain for the night and in case the weather turns bad. Always, let someone know where you are hiking and approximately what time you will return and don’t hike alone. As always, please be careful with fire and always check to find out if fire restrictions are currently in place; always clear flammable vegetation and debris 5 feet away from the fire ring; always have a full bucket of water close to the campfire; always have a shovel on hand and available; always have an adult present; never have a campfire when it is windy, hot, and dry and always make sure your campfires are dead out before leaving the campsite. Most importantly, enjoy your national forests! The following is a listing of Forest Service campgrounds that will be open for Memorial Day weekend.

80TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
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.

GREAT FISHING IN SOUTHERN UTAH It’s summertime again so that means it’s time for those weekend fishing trips to Otter Creek Reservoir. The reservoir is located approximately 12 miles east SR 89 at Kingston Utah on Hwy 62. Otter Creek Reservoir is one of the best fisheries in Southern Utah known for its great opportunity to hook a large rainbow trout. On the south end of the reservoir is Otter Creek State Park. Amenities at Otter Creek State Park include tent and RV camping, a boat ramp, restrooms, showers, and a brand new fish cleaning station. Otter Creek Reservoir is stocked every year with large numbers of Rainbow trout, and a limited number of Bear Lake cutthroat. Trout in Otter Creek grow quickly, giving anglers the opportunity to catch large rainbow, cutthroat, and brown trout. Otter Creek can be fished year round from the shore or a boat during warmer months and through the ice in winter months. In 2005 smallmouth bass were introduced into the reservoir to help control chub populations. Good numbers of smallmouth bass can be found, and every year several bass are caught that near the three to four pound mark. Trout at Otter Creek can be caught using PowerBait, worms, minnows, dry and wet flies, or by casting or trolling spinners and lures. With such great fishing opportunities anglers need to be aware of fishing limits. Otter Creek currently has no special regulations
and the statewide fishing limit of four trout and six smallmouth bass applies. “In Utah, the bag and possession limits for fishing are the same. For example, once you’ve harvested a limit of trout, you cannot harvest any more trout until you’ve consumed or donated at least some of the trout you’ve harvested. So, if you eat one trout, you can harvest one more the next day; if you eat a full limit, you can harvest a full limit the next day. You may continue to fish while in possession of a full limit, but you must immediately release any additional fish you catch.” (Taken from page 17 of the 2012 Utah Fishing Guidebook)
The possession limit law isn’t just in place at Otter Creek Reservoir, it is observed statewide. If you plan on fishing anywhere in Utah you need to turn to the specific water regulations starting on page 20 of the 2012 Utah Fishing Guidebook. So if you plan on staying over an extended period of time at any water in Utah and plan on fishing you need to observe possession limits. Anglers are encouraged to do their part to protect Utah fisheries. If you suspect that someone is committing a wildlife crime, please contact a conservation officer by calling the UTiP Hotline, 1-800-662-3337.
