Wayne County to Spark Humanities Conversations Again in 2019

Chef "Q": The Torrey Grill Serves BBQ with a Twist TORREY - The dining room at The Torrey Grill has a couple of white boards where guests can find the special side dishes and salads and desserts of the day.

In addition, the white boards may include an aphorism or two, such as, “Life is better with Q.” “I don’t know. Do you think people will get it?” asked Peter Cole, who is now in his second year presiding as chef at The Torrey Grill. “It means, ‘life is better with barbecue.’”

Cole looked up at what he’d written and thought a moment about whether this was just the right message that he was aiming for.

Whether or not dinner guests are puzzled by Chef Cole’s special messages, they are not likely to be puzzled by the food. The Torrey Grill offers straight-up smokehouse and barbecue dinners, the kind that will make traditionalists happy, yet with an added flair that will appeal to those looking for something a little different.

The “twist” comes in the amazing side dishes that complement Cole’s signature smoked dinners such as halfsmoked chicken, or sliced beef tri-tip or dry-rubbed pork spare ribs. Diners might have a chance to try out these meals accompanied by the likes of roasted beets with pistachios, baked beans with poblano

WAYNE COUNTY From playing Jacks to constructing sushi rolls, the first season of Wayne County’s cultural heritage grant project was declared a success by those who participated in the program. Whether exploring the lives of the Native peoples and pioneers who lived on this land before us or connecting our traditions to those found around the globe, the Sparking Humanities Conversations program encouraged community members to come together to celebrate cultural heritage.

The final community dinner featured pop can fishing rigs, fishing exhibits, and a make-your-own sushi roll station. Thanks to Royals Foodtown for providing a fishing pole as the door prize. Also, thanks to Mike James of Quiet

for repeat dinner guests. Cole says guests often come two or several nights in a row, and he likes to make sure there’s plenty of variety.

If Cole has a guiding principle to feeding guests, he says it’s, “I want people to have fun and enjoy what they’re eating.”

One enjoyable item that comes with every meal is what he calls “Bandit Flat Bread.”

Served piping hot, it is a little crispy on one side and soft on the other and is perfect with the standard accompaniment of southern pimiento cheese melted into it.

Cole says he was first introduced to Torrey about three years ago, when a friend invited him to visit. “I fell in love with it. Who wouldn’t?” said Cole. Trained at the Culinary Institute of Arts, Cole is a seasoned chef, working for de-

cades in New York, San Francisco and New Orleans. His partner, Abeer Aljbour, brings her own cosmopolitan talents to the table, having worked in the travel industry in Miami, Hawaii and Washington state.

Now, Cole and Aljbour seem both content and enthusiastic about sinking their roots into Torrey, and enjoying their time creating a unique space and menu and serving both international and local customers.

“Any given night, we might have people from half a dozen countries in here,” said Cole. “And we have an increasing number of locals.”

The Torrey Grill has long served as the restaurant that caters to guests at Thousand Lakes RV Park. Under Cole’s direction, it’s moved well beChef "Q"

This is a Letter Celebrating the Very Kindest of Strangers

Earlier this month my husband and I came through Panguitch, where we lunched at Kenny Ray’s Café. In Zion the next day I realized that my wallet was missing—lost? stolen? Unable to find it after a ransacking search of our van, I canceled my credit cards and we continued our travels. While visiting our son and daughter-in-law in Las Vegas, I went online to the Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL) to report my lost license. The next day a worker at the DOL called to tell me that they had received a call from the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office (“somewhere in Utah”) where the license (and wallet) had been turned in. My luck had changed, and that change started not in Vegas but with the kind and honest folks in Panguitch.

Here’s how it happened and who I want to celebrate: Terry Smith found the wallet on the floor while working at Kenny Ray’s; he set it aside and later, his supervisor (whose name I have not tracked down) took it to the Sheriff’s office. Their secretary, Sheree Leach, contacted the DOL, who gave me her office’s phone number. I called to thank her (and declare her my guardian angel) and to figure out how to get the wallet back—perhaps we could drive back to Panguitch, or she could use the cash within it to mail it to my home in Seattle? When Sheree learned that I was in Vegas but leaving the next morning, she told me that she was heading there that evening for a conference. Would I like her to bring it to me? Such an offer left me speechless. The next morning on our way out of town I met Sheree at her hotel, received my wallet (and a big hug). It came as no surprise that everything was there—no missing cash, credit cards, or IDs. These days it can be hard to remember that people are at heart considerate, ethical, and honest—just plain good—but my Heroes from Panguitch proved it.

I send heartfelt thanks to Terry, his supervisor, and Sheree for their acts of kindness and good faith to this Stranger from Seattle.

Please say “Hi” and “Well done” to them for me when you see them next.

Sincerely, Ann Darlington, Seattle

Wild Water is Not a Fish Farm

Seeking solace I sit in a meadow by a creek…within moments river songs begins to soothe my weary heart. The scene is idyllic, like something from a long ago time, with tree leaves breezing on a late spring day, birds in the branches singing to the setting sun and crickets adding their steady rhythmic beat. Fish are literally jumping out of the water, to catch a bug or maybe because they like to jump just to make a splash. Moving closer to check them out a bat dances up and down the stream, swooping back and forth skimming water for a drink. Further upstream a young deer lifts her head from the water as she senses my presence and I notice a dipper as he builds a nest of moss, which is hanging on a willow branch.

In the morning I return to the strip of sand, where I saw the fish jumping, to splash water on my face. Standing up I see cougar tracks left in the night from another one who comes to this creek to drink, and on my way out I see two osprey fishing from a pond.

As I turn back towards home I feel a deep resolve to never let anyone poison this creek or the watershed as a whole. Water is Life. Life is sacred.

Fish for Free on June 9

Fishing license not required on Free Fishing Day If you'd like to introduce someone to fishing — or you'd like to give fishing a try, but you don't have a fishing license — mark June 9 on your calendar.

June 9 is Free Fishing Day in Utah. You don't need a fishing license to fish in the state that day.

Randy Oplinger says Free Fishing Day is a great day not only for beginning anglers but for experienced anglers too.

"Because you don't need a license to fish that day," says Oplinger, sport fisheries coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources, "it's the perfect time to take someone fishing with you and introduce them to the sport. And, if you don't have a license, it's the perfect time to pick up a fishing pole and give fishing a try."

Another great thing is

Free Fishing Day is held at the start of June. "Early June is one of the best times to fish in Utah," Oplinger says. "All of the fish in the state, both warmwater fish and coldwater fish, are active and willing to bite this time of the year."

If you don't have any fishing equipment — or you do, but you'd like some help fishing — special events are the place to be.

"At most of the events," Oplinger says, "equipment will be available for you to use. And volunteers will be on hand, to help you and your kids fish.

You can stay updated on fishing at these waters, and other waters in Utah, by reading the DWR's fishing reports online.

Two additional websites—bigfishtackle.com and utahwildlife.net—also provide up-to-date fishing information.

yond “camper fare.” In addition to the upbeat menu, Cole has spruced up the dining space—new hand-sewn canvas curtains with windows both let in light and keep out the weather, and the central fire place has been re-vamped and helps keep the place cozy on cool nights.

In general, the dining room offers a sense of refined outdoor dining—with a good vibe.

“I’d like to be known for barbecue, but really, I’d like to be known for everything,” said Cole. “I sell as much salmon as barbecue. Some people say this is the best salmon they’ve ever had.” Cole is also no stranger to vegetarians’ desires. Each evening vegetarian plates are offered, in addition to the regular smattering of vegetarian sides.

Step up to the order window, select a table and plan ahead to keep "room" for a scrumptious dessert like a cinnamon roll with vanilla ice cream. You're likely to have fun, and enjoy what you're eating.

The Torrey Grill offers grilled & BBQ dinners nightly from 5 - 9 pm. They are located at 1110 West SR 24 in Torrey. Tel. 435-425-3500 or visit torreygrill&bbq.com. Open for the season until October 25.

UTAH - Studies show that summer brain drain can be a formidable force, setting kids’ progress back over the long break from the classroom. But you can help kids avoid losing their academic mojo. Here’s how.

• Take a Hike: Not all learning has to happen indoors or while sitting still. Take a family nature walk and ask kids to pay special attention to the plant and animal species you encounter on your journey, as well as any special rock formations or other geological features you see, taking notes and photographs as you go. Once back home, do some research about the most interesting things that you saw.

• Make Music: Music education is important for budding minds, and learning music at home in summer can be easy and affordable. Stock your household with a portable keyboard designed for students in mind. For example, the CT-X700 boasts a high-

quality sound system, as well as features that are perfect for student musicians, like a six-track recorder, a library of 100 built-in songs, and the Step-Up Lesson system, which allows students to learn the songs with the display showing proper fingering and notation. Its USB-MIDI port connects to any Mac, PC, Android or iOS device with no drivers or installation needed. The included music rest is designed to support tablets, and the built-in smartphone shelf holds your device as you use the keyboard with favorite music apps.

• Read Outdoors: Summer is the perfect opportunity for students to delve deep into what interests them most.

Make a day of it. First stop: the library or bookstore, where kids can find reading materials dealing with their favorite topics. Then, pack a picnic lunch and find a shady spot in a local park or your own backyard, to read out-

doors. At the end of the day, everyone can discuss what he or she read.

• Math Fun: Make math more fun with a free, all-in-one web-based mathematics resource like Classpad.net, that allows users to draw geometry figures freehand and input calculations as they would on real scratch paper. Geared for K-12+ mathematics students, the app is designed to be equally usable by keyboard/ mouse and touchscreenbased platforms, so that students can keep up their math skills wherever their summer adventures take them.

• Take a Vacation: Going somewhere new and interesting? In advance of your trip, have kids spend some time learning about the history and culture of your destination. If you’re going abroad, they can even learn some basics of a foreign language.

To keep minds active all summer long, be sure to combine learning and fun.

Having missed the State Track meet, when checking the results we had three outstanding athletes that really turned my head. Two of the Girls brought home with four gold medals apiece. Taylia Norris was a runaway winner and I mean big time in the 3200M, 1600m, 800M and anchored the Medley relay team, nobody was even close to Taylia in any of her races. Kapri Orton also had 4 solo wins, taking the 200M, 100M Hurdles, the 300M Hurdles and set a new state record in the high jump with a leap of 5’6”, I don’t think she is even that tall. In the boys team event, Kanyon Lamb really excelled with wins in the 110M Hurdles, 300M Hurdles, 100M and a 2nd in the 400M. In the past the teams have won championships with only one winner for the meet and this time they had 3 multiple winners. The really good news is that the three of them will be back next year.

The Cats really had a great year in sports, getting into the finals in both baseball and softball, (it was the first time for the softball team).

Two 2nd place finishes for the cross country teams, 1st place in volleyball, 2nd place in wrestling. Two first place trophies in basketball and two first places in track. With another 1st place trophy in drama, it was quite a year for the Bob Cats. Many of the athletes, both boys and girls, will be back next year.

Wills, Trusts, and More Estate Planning for Children with Disabilities

by Jeffery J. McKenna Making an estate plan is not something that anyone looks forward to doing. It is difficult to make difficult decisions about what we want to happen to our property after we die. Parents of children with disabilities have additional apprehensions about making estate plans. These parents are anxious about their disabled child's future.

Parents worry about who will care for their disabled child, where their child will live, what services their child will need, and what can be done to protect their child's eligibility for needed services.

Parents may believe that when they die, other family members will take care of their child with a disability, despite the fact that they have never discussed this with any other family members. The size of your estate is irrelevant. What is important is that you make plans about how your resources will be used after you die.

Lack of planning could have serious negative consequences for a child with a disability – whether it be a young child or an adult child.

When you meet with your estate planning attorney, you should explain the nature and severity of your child's disability to the attorney. You should be sure that the attorney understands what your child can do with respect to making decisions about medical care, money, where to live, and other activities which he or she will have to carry on after you die.

Trusts are often very good mechanisms for parents of a child with a disability to use in planning for their child's fi-

nancial future. A well-drafted trust can enhance the quality of life of an individual with a disability. Your trustee is legally obligated to follow your instructions.

Some parents are intimidated by the thought of having a trust because they think it is too complicated.

Parents sometimes avoid discussing the possibility of establishing a trust because they plan to leave money to their other children whom they believe will use the money to care for the child with a disability. Leaving the money outright to the other children is risky. The other children have no legal obligation to use that money for their sibling with a disability. If the other children die before the child with a disability, or get a divorce, or suffer a bankruptcy, the funds may not be used as intended. A trust can serve various purposes such as paying bills, paying for services that are provided to the child with a disability, and providing goods and services that the government will not supply. A trust can meet changing needs and circumstances.

There are different ways to create a legal trust. A popular trust for people with disabilities is referred to as a “supplemental needs” trust. It is wise to discuss your options with an attorney and make your choices based on what will best serve your needs and the needs of your disabled child. There may well be options that you were unaware of that may give you and your family members great peace of mind.

Down here in the country I think you'll find it true/ That folks don't quite express themselves like city dwellers do/ Just for one example, out of quite a bunch/ They call you in for dinner when you know it's time for lunch/ And when they serve the evening food they ring the supper bell/ to city folk, that's dinner! We know that very well/Now, supper may be dinner, or dinner may come at noon/ I don't care what they call the meal, just so they serve it soon/ 'Cause when it's time for chow I don't respect the time

Greenehaven Wash Near Lone Rock’s “Sweet Spot” Closed to Swimming

GLEN CANYON NATIONAL RECREATION AREA – On May 24, a small cove near the Lone Rock Primitive Camping Area was closed to swimming. It was deemed unsafe for recreational activities due to potential exposure to decaying cattle carcasses.

The closure area is located on Lake Powell in Greenehaven Wash, directly south of the area known as the “sweet spot” at the Lone Rock Primitive Camping Area. Kayakers who access the lake at the Stateline Boat Ramp are also advised to stay away from the closed area.

The closure is the result of two cows that became stuck in the mud. Despite efforts by ranchers and National Park Service personnel, the cattle could not be removed so had to be put down. Because the Lake Powell water level is rising, the carcasses are now in the water. The area is closed to public access until further notice. The area being closed is marked by yellow closure buoys.

Because the oven was overshooting the set temperature, I shaved a few minutes off the cooking time for my muffins, set the timer and asked my husband to keep an eye on them while he did the dishes and I dusted. Not long after, I smelled something burning and dashed into the kitchen.

"Are those my muffins burning?" I asked Pete.

"Yes," he said as he calmly wiped a dinner plate.

"Then why are they still in the oven?" I cried.

"Because," he replied, "the timer hasn't gone off yet."

So, when one irate customer stormed my desk, I responded in my calmest voice, "What's the trouble?"

"I went out this morning," she began, "and when I came home, I found a card saying the mailman tried to deliver a package, but no one was home. I'll have you know, my husband was in all morning!

He never heard a thing!"

After apologizing, I got her parcel.

"Oh good!" she gushed.

"We've been waiting for this for ages!"

"What is it?" I asked.

"My husband's new hearing aid."

Inheritance

When I bought my new Corvette, my two sons asked me who would inherit it if I met my demise. I pondered the question, then told them if I passed away on an even day, the son born on an even day would get it. If it happened on an odd day, the one born on the odd day would get it.

A few weekends later, while river rafting with one of my sons, I was tossed out of the boat. As I floated in the rapids, I heard my son yelling, "It's the wrong day!"

McKay G. Bailey

ESCALANTE - McKay G Bailey, age 88, passed away peacefully at his home in Escalante, Utah on Sunday, May 20, 2018. McKay was born on February 16, 1930, to Gail and Reva Bailey in Richfield, Utah. He graduated from Escalante High School and continued his education in auto mechanics in Salt Lake City, Utah. During the Korean War, he served in the United States Army in Fort Worden, Washington.

McKay married LaFaye Spencer on July 8, 1954, in the Manti Temple. They were blessed with four children: Stuart, Natalie, Launi and Alan. Launi’s time on earth was short due to a birth defect. He was happiest on a horse and learned to rope at a young age. He used those skills in rodeos, calf roping and team roping with his good friend, Robert Liston. McKay worked construction jobs to provide for his family but the job he enjoyed most was being a cowboy. He worked with his dad, Gail, on the lower Escalante desert and Fifty-Mile Mountain. He later bought a ranch from his father-in-law, Clyde Spencer, where he continued his love of being a cowman. McKay was proud of his children and spent many hours traveling to attend their games and performances.

After a long battle with cancer, LaFaye passed away in 1985.

McKay married Rose Littlefield shortly thereafter and she has been his faithful companion for the past 33 years. Although sometimes he had a tough exterior, he always had a soft spot in his heart for his grandchildren and he loved his family very much.

McKay is survived by his wife, Rose; son, Stuart (Karma); daughter, Natalie (Jerry); and son, Alan (Sara), fourteen grandchildren, and twelve great-grandchildren. Preceding him in death are his first wife, LaFaye; his parents, Gail and Reva Bailey; and his daughter, Launi.

McKay’s funeral will be held Saturday, June 2nd at 12:00 noon in the Escalante LDS chapel. A viewing will be held prior to the funeral from 10:30 to 11:30 AM. Interment will be in the Escalante City Cemetery with military honors under the care of Olpin Stevens Funeral Home. Online condolences may be offered at www.olpinstevensfuneralhome.com.

The family would like to thank the good people of Escalante who have shared their love and care for Rose and him over the years.

Golda Cottam 1935 - 2018

He preceded her in death September 16, 2000.

Golda was raised in Cannonville and remembers the plane crash up at Bryce. She loved to crochet, quilt, cook and tell jokes. She had a great sense of humor.

She was a member of the LDS Church where she served as a visiting teacher, and worked in both the MIA and Primary. She was a live time member of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers.

She is survived by her children: Rodney Boyd (Rose Villapane) Cottam, Susan Dawn (Terry) Kennedy, Bryce (Colleen) Cottam, Dan (Glenna) Cottam, Elaine Cottam, Tony (Christina) Cottam, Tonya (Rick Cravens) Spencer; many grand and great-grandchildren; sister, Lorna Peterson.

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com The crab apple tree blossoms only lasted for two days, but aren’t the lilacs beautiful?

Lilacs only bloom at Memorial Day and they were the flower of choice out at the cemetery. In all of the many years we have been here, this year’s crop is many times bigger than any of the other years. Drive down the street and open your window, the smell is wonderful, or better yet stroll down your neighborhood. I think the only lilac bushes that aren’t in bloom are ours. This year, there are just a few at our house, like in the past, but one thing we did get is those that did blossom were white, unlike years past with the purple flowers.

The big excitement for the week was the high school graduation, thirty eight of them made the grade. The vast majority of this class is going on to higher education or on a Mission. One thing that was different with this class was Bosten Englestead was the Valedictorian — the only time that I can remember that a young man took this honor. These are a group of really bright students and they are the future of our country.

Many of them received schol-

arships from colleges all over the State. The first graduation we attended back in the 90s had 58 kids in it. The vast majority of them were going into the work force out at Ruby’s, the school has come a long way since then. The school got lucky and the District hired Betty Ann Rember, she was a progressive principal and brought the school into the 21st century. No more seniors sitting around the quad their senior year, from then on they went to class or home. She instituted the PA program that allowed the smarter kids to take college class and also the internet offered college classes on line. Panguitch became the number 1# Academic school that year in the state and hasn’t looked back since.

LaMont Olsen’s second book in the Space Train Series, the Uncertain Voyage, is now available on Amazon (you can get it on Kindle or in paperback). LaMont’s next book will be out shortly. I hope to have one of them shortly, if it is a good as his first one it will keep me tied up for a few days, it was hard to put down.

Bryce Canyon Tourism Creates Over$256 Million in Economic Benefits BRYCE – A new National Park Service (NPS) report shows that 2,571,684 visitors to Bryce Canyon in 2017 spent $213 million in communities near the park. That spending supported 3,119 jobs in the local area and had a cumulative benefit to the local economy of $256 million; this cumulative economic benefit has doubled in value since 2012. Bryce Canyon is now the 12th mostvisited national park in the nation, and the 2nd most-visited of Utah’s Mighty Five national parks.

“Bryce Canyon welcomes visitors from across the country and around the world,” said Superintendent Linda Mazzu. “We are delighted to share the story of this place and the experiences it provides. The park is a way to introduce our visitors to this part of the country and all that it offers. Every $1 invested by American taxpayers in the National Park Service returns more than $10 to the U.S. economy. It’s a big factor in our local economy as well.

We appreciate the partnership and support of our neighbors and are glad to be able to give back by helping to sustain local communities.”

This information comes from a peer-reviewed visitor spending analysis conducted by economists Catherine Cullinane Thomas of the U.S. Geological Survey and Lynne Koontz of the National Park Service. The report shows $18.2 billion of direct spending by more than 330 million park visitors in communities within 60 miles of the 417 National Park Service units. This spending supported 306,000 jobs nationally; 255,900 of those jobs are found in these gateway communities. The cumulative benefit to the U.S. economy was $35.8 billion.

Surrounding Bryce Canyon, the lodging sector received the highest direct contributions with $70.1 million in economic output to local gateway economies. The restaurants sector received the next greatest direct contributions with $39 million in economic output.

According to the 2017 report, most Bryce Canyon

park visitor spending was for hotels (32.9 percent) followed by restaurants (18.3 percent), transportation (10.5 percent), gasoline (10.4 percent), retail (9.9 percent), and recreation industries (9.2 percent).

Report authors also produced an interactive tool that enables users to explore visitor spending, jobs, labor income, value added, and output effects by sector for national, state, and local economies. Users can also view year-by-year trend data. The interactive tool and report are available at the NPS Social Science Program webpage: https://www.nps.gov/ subjects/socialscience/vse.htm —National Park Service

The Sub for Santa’s Chocolate fest starts the ball rolling in the gym were the swimming pool was. Santa has the best Chocolate makers anywhere in Southern Utah.

Brent Leach will again entertain the folks while they are enjoying themselves in chocolate heaven. The festival really gets going on Thursday with quilting classes during the day and the Quilt Walk dinner theater will begin at the Social Hall in the evening. This is the 20th annual Festival and I think I am the only one left from the original cast from that first show that has been there each year, which only means I am getting old.

The NBA finals start this Thursday and I am thrilled that my man Labron James is still playing, this will be his 8th consecutive appearance in the finals. So far in the playoffs, he has scored 40 or more points in 7 of those games and only Jerry West scored more with 8 forty point games. In tonight’s game against Boston, he scored 35 points, had 15 rebounds and 9 assists. I do love watching him play, NBA is really exciting to watch, tune

it in and you will be hooked, too.

Main Street Committee did it again! A very successful “yard sale”. “Sub for Santa” had a booth this year along with many others. Thanks to all who participated; those who sold and to those who bought!

The Memorial Day flags are up at the cemetery. Thanks to the veterans who gave their lives and their service making America a safe, secure, and wonderful place to live. To those who helped put flags on our veterans' graves, your help is greatly appreciated.

Like they say, many helping hands makes the work lighter.

The Quilt Walk Festival committees could use some help as usual. Volunteering makes this event so special because not only do we honor those who made a difference to the 1st Panguitch settlement but we also teach our youth and new residents about the wonderful heritage left behind by those who have gone before. Contact Elaine Baldwin, JeriLu Houston, Pat Oetting, or Linda Olsen and they will find you an opportunity to serve at the festival.

Scandinavian Heritage Festival, Spring City Heritage Day Highlight Mormon Pioneer Heritage in Sanpete County

EPHRAIM - The city of Ephraim in the center of the Mormon Pioneer National Heritage area was first settled by Scandinavian pioneers.

Spring City, about 12 miles north of Ephraim, was settled by Mormon pioneers from various backgrounds, including people from the eastern United States, England and Scandinavia. The town is considered one of the best-preserved Mormon colonies in the West and has been designated as a National Historic District.

Every year during Memorial Day weekend, the area becomes an epicenter for historical commemoration as Ephraim stages the Scandinavian Heritage Festival and Spring City observes its Heritage Day. The Scandinavian Heritage Festival kicks off Friday, May 25 with the free Scandinavian Heritage Conference at the Huntsman Library auditorium at Snow College.

This year the conference features a presentation

by Neal Cox focusing on the history of the Ephraim Enterprise, the town’s historic community newspaper, and research by David Mackey about the history of Ephraim and Sanpete County (as chronicled in his books “Rattlesnakes and Axeheads” and “Temple Light and Train Tracks.”

On Friday evening,

festival-goers can enjoy authentic Scandinavian food at a smorgasbord dinner at the Greenwood Student Center at Snow College, followed by fireworks at a nearby park.

On Saturday, May 26, early risers can start their day at the traditional Lions Club aebleskivers (traditional Danish pancakes) breakfast. More active folk can get their game on with the 5K and 10K fun runs.

Later, families and individuals can participate in Vikeon-a-Bike races with four courses of progressive difficulty ranging from “family” to “sport.”

And what’s a festival without a parade? Entries in the annual parade will include floats from local businesses decked out as Viking ships, the 2017 Sanpete County Sweetheart and Junior Princess Rodeo Royalty, Vike-on-a-Bike entrants riding decorated bikes and classic cars from what is known as the “Original Side-BySide Car Show.”

Along the parade route, several Viking hordes (people in Viking costumes) will lay in wait to intimidate (or at least have their photos taken with) unsuspecting tourists.

The popular historic bus tour will take visitors to view historic sites, buildings and homes that capture some of the early history of the town and its Scandinavian settlers.

Spring City Heritage Day will be centered at the restored Spring City School, now known as the Old School Community Center.

The 119-year-old school, which was restored through nearly a 40-year community effort, is one of the most ornate buildings in Central Utah.

At the Old School Community Center, visitors may purchase tickets for tours of the exteriors and interiors of about a dozen restored homes and buildings built in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Breakfast will be served at the park behind the school from 8-10 a.m. for $7.50 per plate. A food truck roundup will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. outside the Old School, with offerings ranging from Thai food to pizza.

Throughout the day, an

art and antiques show and sale will be held inside the Old School, culminating in the annual Art Squared auction of 1-foot-square paintings by some of the nationally and regionally known artists who live in Spring City, including Lee Bennion, Susan Gallacher, M’Lisa Paulsen, Doug Freyer, Kathleen Peterson, Cassandria Paarsons, Lynn Farrar and Ken Baxter.

To get to Ephraim, take I-15 south to the second Nephi exit (Exit 225). At the exit turn left and follow S.R. 132 through Fountain Green and Moroni to U.S. 89. At U.S. 89 turn right and follow the highway about 5 miles into Ephraim.

O bituaries Vergean Porter

ESCALANTE - Vergean Porter, 91, lifelong resident of Escalante passed away May 22, 2018 in Cedar City resulting from a 7-month illness. He was born at home in Escalante to Roland and Mina Haws Porter on November 23, 1926. He married Carolyn Spencer on September 21, 1948 in Salt Lake City.

They would have celebrated their 70th anniversary this year.

He was the 5th of 8 children: 4 girls and 4 boys. He talked often of his childhood and his fond memories of his parents and siblings. He grew up and lived most of his life in his beloved Escalante. He loved spending time outdoors working and enjoying the beauties of the surroundings. A job was never too big for him to tackle. He worked hard to provide for his wife and family retiring from Garfield County School District, U.S. Forest Service, and working at the Glen Canyon Dam. Vergean was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving in the bishopric and priesthood quorums. He and his family were sealed in the St. George Temple on June 14, 1963.

He was a veteran of World War II, serving in the Navy on the Aircraft Carrier SAVO Island in the South Pacific. He honored his country and was proud to serve.

Favorite pastimes were hunting, fishing, farming and riding the mountain roads. He was always looking for the one big tree to cut down to provide wood to keep his home and family warm. He was a talented craftsman and family and friends are the recipients of many keepsakes.

A void is felt already.

We will miss you Dad. We felt your strength and love on earth and know you are continuing to watch over us.

Vergean is survived by his loving wife Carolyn; children: Vergeania Davenport, Kevin Lynn (Shelly) Porter, Slone Dee (Veralynn) Porter, and Clint V. (Gaylee) Porter; 23 grandchildren and 40 great-grandchildren; siblings: Bobbie Lynn (Sandra) Porter and Yoland McInelly.

Preceded in death by his parents; sisters: Velma Boulter, Marie Griffin, Maxine Horrocks; brothers: Roland Haws Porter, Merrill Dee Porter; son-in-law, Darryl K Davenport; greatgranddaughters: Karah Lynn Gale and Claire Porter.

The family would like to thank those who cared for Dad the last several months: Bella Terra Care Center, Horizon Home Health and our family and friends who never ceased to be concerned. Thank you.

Local Lawyer Starting a New Business

by Megan Mustoe The week of Memorial Day always feels like the first week of summer, even if we officially have another three weeks of spring. School’s out, or nearly so, and you or your family might be thinking about starting a business mowing lawns, opening an ice shack, or working on other projects.

Just buying the equipment and starting to work may seem like the easiest option. And it is; in the short term. However, you run a lot of risks if you do not become a bona fide and registered business.

Register your business. If you are doing a business in the state of Utah, you are required to have a business license. Failure to do so is a class B Misdemeanor. So, if you are opening your soda shack, make sure to get your Federal EIN number and state and local business licenses.

Liability. Businesses organized as limited liability corporations, s-corporations, or corporations create a boundary between your personal assets and business assets, as long as those assets are easily separated. They also protect you from being personally sued when you are working for your business. To avoid a forced liquidation of your business, make sure to have liability insurance in case you were sued. Partnerships create less of a boundary between your personal and business assets.

Separate finances. Do not use your personal checking account as your business operating account. Open a new bank account for your business. Only use this bank account for operating the business. Do not mix your business and personal funds. If you are concerned about taxes, open a second bank account and periodically put money in the “tax” account to prepare for tax season. You will thank yourself later.

Taxes. The state or federal government will find you, even in remote Wayne and Garfield Counties: at least your mailing ad-

dress. If you start a business selling jewelry or wood carvings but do not pay the appropriate sales taxes or income taxes, you could face your day in court and have a tax lien filed against you, your property, or your business property. Like student loans, a tax lien cannot be dissolved in bankruptcy and a lien on your property can prevent you from refinancing your mortgage or taking out additional loans with your property as collateral.

Operating agreement. Write down your business procedures. Do you pay yourself as revenue is generated or once a month? Are you partnering with others? If you are starting a partnership, how will profits, losses, and decisions be determined? If you have your own business, just start writing down in a notebook or word documents the procedures of your business as they occur. This way, if you were ever challenged with a lawsuit against your business, you can show you were acting on behalf of the business and protect your personal assets from liability.

So what about that small, one time job, you did for your elderly neighbor? If you feel you are not running a business and just doing some small things for one person or a few people, you run the risk of personal liability if you are sued. However, if you are willing to take on the risks of not registering your business, reduce your tax risk by noting the earned income on your taxes.

They’re Back:

Nearly 300 Shakespeare Festival Company Members Arrive in Cedar City CEDAR CITY - They arrived Monday, May 14.

They traveled here, nearly 300 strong, from New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver, and other cities across the country and even around the world. They will be here from eight weeks to five months, depending on their job and their contract. They are the 2018 Utah Shakespeare Festival company of actors, directors, designers, stage managers, builders and creators—and they love being in Cedar City.

For instance, actor Lance Rasmussen calls Logan his hometown, but Cedar City is a type of second home for him. “My family has been seeing the Festival every year of my life,” he said. “I’ve seen 22 seasons and well over 100 plays at the Festival and consider Cedar City my artistic home and the impetus of my career as an actor.”

Tyler Morgan, Festival marketing and communications director, who is enjoying his first summer working at the Festival, said the feeling is shared by the Cedar City and Iron County communities. “This is a chance for our community to shine and welcome,” he said. “The company members are excited; it feels fresh and new; and I think the community feels that too.”

“It is invigorating to see people greeting old friends,” added Frank Mack, executive producer, who is also working his first full season at the Festival. “There are visible friendships between artists and volunteers, townspeople and the company.”

While all these temporary residents are here, they will shop in our stores, live in our apartments, and dine in our restaurants. They will attend our celebrations and visit our museums, parks, and hiking trails. They will enjoy the amazing life that those of us who live here relish yearround. They will become part of our community.

“It feels like summer now,” said Brian Vaughn, artistic director. “There is a palpable energy, and a strong

Cast members gather on the grounds of the Beverly Center for the Arts, ready to start the season. synergy between the company, our amazing volunteers, and the people of Cedar City.”

“The people of Cedar City love Shakespeare and theatre, and they love the actors and artists the Festival brings to the community,” said Morgan. “They welcome the company and enjoy seeing them around town and making them feel at home.”

By the time the last spotlight is dimmed and the last bows are taken in October, the work of these talented theatre professionals will have attracted 100,000 visitors to the fifty-seventh season of the Festival. And, all total, they will have been the impetus of an economic impact of more than $40 million for Cedar City.

“The economic impact of the Festival starts now,” said Mack. “We tend to think that the Festival starts to contribute to the economy when the tens of thousands of audience members begin to arrive in late June. But it really starts now, with nearly 300 men and women who are shopping in our stores, buying their groceries, and spending their time and money. These amazing people are now working and living in our community.”

“If the first day with the company here was a glimpse of what is to come, this will be an engaging, electrifying

season that I hope will surpass everyone’s expectations,” concluded Morgan. “The day seems like a harbinger of things to come, of a taste of an amazing collaboration between the Festival company and the community that has welcomed them here.”

Tickets are now on sale for the Festival’s fifty-seventh season, which will run from

June 28 to October 13. season will include The Merry Wives of Windsor, Henry VI Part One, The Merchant of Venice, Othello, Big River, The Foreigner, The Liar, An Iliad, and Pearl’s in the House. For more information and tickets visit www.bard. org or call 1-800-PLAYTIX. —Utah Shakespeare Festival

Governor's Water Conservation Team Announces New Statewide Rebate Program WEST JORDAN – Water conservation just got cheaper for Utahns. A new statewide rebate program, Utah Water Savers, is now available thanks to a $750,000 ongoing appropriation from the state legislature. Rebates can be claimed at UtahWaterSavers. com.

“Utah is committed to water and its sustainability,” stated Faye Rutishauser, water conservation coordinator at the Utah Division of Water Resources. “Because Utah has a variety of climates and a growing population, we need to do what we can to extend our current water supply. Rebates are one way the state can help Utahns make needed changes.”

Statewide rebates will be given for the purchase of smart irrigation timers that save water by automatically adjusting watering schedules based on local weather and landscape needs. Additional rebates for replacing old toilets and completing waterefficient landscaping projects will be funded on a regional basis by local water providers.

Plans are in place to add additional statewide rebates in the future. To view a complete list of available rebates in each area, Utahns can create a free account on UtahWaterSavers. com.

Rick Maloy, president of the Utah Conservation Forum, said he hopes Utahns will take advantage of the new rebates and that this will be an opportunity for Utahns to change the way water is used in the state. “Too many Utahns are

reactive in their approach to water conservation and only conserve when they hear about drought conditions,” Maloy said. “Water conservation isn’t only about the weather. We need to be more consistent and efficient in our efforts. As a state, we need to plan how we will meet the water needs of a growing population using a limited, finite, and unpredictable resource.”

On Thursday, May 17th at 3:30 p.m., The Governor’s Water Conservation Team (GWCT) will announce the new statewide rebate program and encourage Utah homeowners to think about the way they use their water and how they can save. Media is encouraged to arrive at Conservation Garden Park no later than 3:10 p.m. for the event.

Camera and audio equipment can be brought on location.

Photo opportunities will be available in the Garden.

About the Governor’s Water Conservation Team: The Governor’s Water Conservation Team was established in 2000 to help provide for Utah’s future water needs by promoting water conservation and helping the state meet current conservation goals.

The team consists of representatives from the Utah Division of Water Resources and water conservancy districts from around the state. For more information and conservation tips, visit SlowtheFlow.org.

by M D S A ickie

UTAH - The Social Security Administration today announced the most popular baby names in Utah for 2017. Olivia and Oliver topped the list.

Nancy A. Berryhill, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, announced last week that Liam and Emma were the most popular baby names in the U.S. How does Utah compare to the rest of the country?

Check out Social Security’s website -- www.socialsecurity. gov-- to see the top national baby names for 2017.

Acting Commissioner Berryhill encourages everyone to visit the agency’s website to enjoy the baby names list and create a my Social Security account at www.socialsecurity. gov/myaccount. my Social Security is a personalized online account that people can use beginning in their working years and continuing through to the time they receive Social Security benefits.

Social Security beneficiaries can have instant access to their benefit verification letter, payment history, and complete earnings record by establishing a my Social Security account.

Beneficiaries also can change their address, start or change direct deposit information, and print a replacement SSA-1099 online. People receiving benefits can request a replacement Medicare card online.

Individuals age 18 and older who are not receiving benefits can also sign up for a my Social Security account to get their personalized online Social Security Statement.

The online Statement provides workers with secure and convenient access to their Social Security earnings and benefit information, and estimates of

future benefits they can use to plan for their retirement.

The agency began compiling the baby name list in 1997, with names dating back to 1880. At the time of a child’s birth, parents supply the name to the agency when applying for a child’s Social Security card, thus making Social Security America’s source for the most popular baby names.

In addition to each state’s top baby names (and names for U.S. territories), Social Secu-
