Wayne County CWPP Team Takes Steps Towards Reducing Wildfire Risk WAYNE COUNTY The Wayne County Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) team has made substantial progress in gathering data and information for the plan. Based on preliminary findings, several actions will commence immediately to reduce wildfire risk. Fuel reduction on private property has already taken place on Sand Creek Road in Torrey and in several spots in Teasdale. In Happy Valley an area thickly vegetated with sage, rabbit brush, and other moderate fuels will be cleared to create a safety zone where residents can retreat in case of a fire. Attempting to escape the area, rather than sheltering in place, is problematic because the narrow access road won't accommodate two-way traffic and people trying to escape would likely prevent incoming fire units from being able to access the the fire. Permanent fixes for the access issue at Happy Valley will be part of the long term plan.

The planning team still needs community volunteer partners in Loa, Fremont, Wayne County CWPP Cont'd on page 2

tats across Utah, Boreal Toad populations have severely declined in recent decades.

Michael Golden, Fish Biologist with the Dixie National Forest, says several factors are involved in population declines. “As we lost beaver off the Paunsaugunt Plateau and their dams declined and did not back up water, we lost breeding habitat. The only place we have found Boreal Toad breeding habitat is in beaver ponds,” he said.

Tips for Keeping Your Pet Cool During the Summer WAYNE / GARFIELD COUNTIES - Summer and warmer days have finally arrived. Animals and people alike enjoy these warmer temperatures. However, the rising mercury can pose risks to our pets if we don’t take certain precautions. Dogs and cats don’t sweat like people do.

The only way dogs can cool themselves is by panting and sweating through their paws.

Cats have some sweat glands, but their paw pads have the most sweat glands. Panting is not a common occurrence in cats and only extremely heatstressed cats will pant. Below are a few pet safety tips that can help you keep your pets feeling cool in the summer months ahead: It’s best not to leave a pet in a parked vehicle.

Dogs or cats confined inside parked vehicles can easily suffer heatstroke, even if the vehicle is parked in the shade with the windows slightly open. One study quoted by the Humane Society showed that when the outside temperature is 78 degrees, a closed car parked in the shade will reach 90 degrees in five minutes and 110 degrees in 25 minutes.

In another study, when the outside temperature was 90 degrees F., within 15 minutes

CEDAR CITY - The Dixie National Forest (DNF), Cedar City Ranger District is proposing to implement a variety of vegetation treatments to improve forest health, reduce the threat of insect disease and reduce fire threat to values at risk. Approximately 2988 acres of vegetation treatment are proposed on National Forest System lands within the Asay Creek watershed.

Under authorization of Section 8402 of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (Farm Bill), the DNF is preparing a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) categorical exclusion (CE) to focus on the need for vegetation treatment in sub-watersheds within and adjacent to the Asay Creek watershed threatened by in-

sect infestation and disease.

The proposed action components in the project include, aspen improvement and regeneration, as well as commercial salvage harvest.

Treatments would include a variety of forestry practices: commercial salvage harvest, thinning, planting and fuel reduction practices such as prescribed fire to reduce hazardous ground fuels and reduce the risk of unplanned large scale wildfire.

The District invites public collaboration and comment on these proposed treatments. An open house for the public is scheduled for July 11, 2019 from 10 a.m. - 12 Asay Creek Farm Bill Cont'd on page 2

DWR Ready to Tackle Illegal Hunting Cases with Help of Two New K9s SALT LAKE CITY - The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources K9 program has been revitalized with the introduction of two newly trained dogs — and they are ready for action.

DWR previously had a K9 police dog program in the early ‘90s but it was discontinued until 2016. Then, it was cut short by a sudden cancer diagnosis and the death of conservation K9, Cody.

Conservation officers Matt Burgess and his 15-month-old male black Labrador retriever, Cruz, and Josh Carver and his male chocolate Lab, Carlo, recently finished an intensive 9-week training course in Patoka Lake, Indiana. The course was put on by the Indiana Depart-

ment of Natural Resources and trained the dogs to track people and wildlife, as well as do article searches to find specific items like guns, shotgun shells, cellphones, clothing and keys.

“DWR's dogs are a little different than the traditional police dog,” DWR K9 coordinator Sgt. Chad Bettridge said. “Our dogs are trained, similar to traditional police dogs, to locate and then indicate on specific items. Instead of the typical training to locate drug-related items, our dogs have been trained to find wildlife and wildlife-related items. Our K9s are also tracking dogs and are able to fol-

There is a limit on how much it can have reserved. (c) Local Government Authorities (in representative system) – To increase taxes, reduce or abolish old taxes, etc. (d) Escalante, UT – population 797 – built up >$922,000 in sewer fund ? (e) In the past, Panguitch City transferred funds (yes to public hearing but cleared unanimously by the councils, no condition to pay back internally, not as loan, etc.). (2) Escalante – city of 797 population – has Barry Huntington ( Garfield County Attorney – for side income – cost of $15,000 / year ? ), hired David Church (another attorney) to fight in court (for firing Police Chief Worlton). Escalante lost. Now David Church (the attorney) advised to pay Worlton’s legal fees (about $70,0000). Once Escalante pays Worlton’s legal fees, next step is to pay Worlton’s salary for >3 years (>$200,000 ?).

This is the fruits of “Monolithic bodies of white elites so called pillars of the community vs. breath of fresh air. (3) (a) There is talk of the town (only media in this area) that Garfield County is bailing out Escalante. How is this (if true) ? Where is money tree in Garfield County Government ? How can tax payers stop overwatering ? If Escalante is 90% non-republican, would 3 republican commissioners rush to bail out ? (b) Orange County, CA (republican base / very educated and richest county ) had cronies pocketing millions. Orange county was forced to file for Bankruptcy and increase property tax rate.

I know that the Garkane’s CEO has stated that he can legally take that money from customer account for charity. But just because it is legal doesn’t necessarily make it moral or ethical. We all know of recent laws that many consider immoral and unethical. Abortion and gay marriage are two of the most divisive ones. So I am encouraging Garkane Energy to do the right thing and separate customer accounts from charity contributions. Set up a separate account for voluntary contributions to charity.

I think that it is still okay for Garkane’s CEO and representatives to administer the funds for the charities; that way they will still get the status and attention they crave.

Not All Hats Are Black and White by garfIeld County taxpayer assoCatIon

PANGUITCH – Our county commissioners are actually wearing three hats.

At a brief procedures review during a May Garfield County Commission meeting, the commissioners were told they had three official roles, and the “hat” they wear is dependent on the issue before them. Those roles are “legislative,” “administrative,” and “quasi-judicial.” The commission acts in a legislative capacity when they are making law, establishing policies, formulating language for ordinances. They are acting in an administrative capacity when they are applying rules already enacted into law, such as evaluating an application for a business license or a conditional use permit. They are acting in a quasi-judicial capacity when they are reviewing an appeal, again applying existing rules of record and procedure.

Why is this important to a resident? The hat our commission (or any municipal body) is wearing at any moment during their meetings— and they might wear all three hats throughout the course of a given meeting— affects our ability to make comment and have our voices heard. It affects when and how we might actually have an influence on decisions made by our county and city governments. (Voting is the ultimate influencer, but that’s the topic for another article.)

During the infrequent times our commission wears the judicial hat, there generally isn’t any opportunity for public comment. Those procedures would likely be limited to a review of the minutes and recordings of meetings in which a decision was rendered, an examination of the

procedures leading to the decision, and so on. At most, a person might be called to give testimony, but this doesn’t fall into the usual concept of “public comment.”

When the commission is acting administratively, they are ensuring compliance and making decisions using existing ordinances. Usually, there’s not much wiggle room. An application for a Conditional Use Permit may stimulate a lot of public interest. However, if the applicant shows compliance with the applicable ordinances and with any conditions that have been imposed to minimize possible impacts, there isn’t much the public can do by voicing opinions. At best, a comment during a public hearing on a CUP may reveal some legal nuance or background information pertinent to the commission’s decision. Comments could enlighten the commission about an ordinance needing revision. But in general, “public clamor” is viewed negatively by the courts. Administrative decisions based more on public input than existing code have been overruled in court.

It’s really only when the commissioners are wearing their legislative hats that the public’s feedback is useful, and even necessary. When the commission is developing an economic plan for the county, or drafting an ordinance, or determining priorities for next year’s expenditures or making any other law- or policy-making decision— that’s the time for public comment. That’s when useful information from constituents can be of value in shaping those laws or policies.

Unfortunately, those legislative moments can come and go without a lot of notification. By law, the county

must advertise public hearings in the newspaper and online for at least 10 days before a hearing. Our county does a good job at meeting that notification requirement. More problematic for residents is being able to review applicable documents before a decision gets made. Garfield County’s new website and their use of Utah Public Meeting Notification board is helping remedy that deficiency.

But there’s still a lot of open space between the drafting of a major plan and ability of the public to have input into its drafting.

As a taxpayer organization, GCTA encourages its members and all residents of the county to stay engaged: • Read the articles about commission meetings to get a glimpse of issues being discussed, • Be attentive to public hearing notices in the paper and call the county clerk or recorder if you need more information, • Attend some meetings to understand the hat-wearing that has to happen, • Subscribe to the Utah Public Meeting Notification website to get email notification of upcoming meetings and public hearings: https://utah.gov/pmn/ index.html The Garfield County Taxpayers Association (GCTA) is a non-profit, non-partisan volunteer organization dedicated to fostering an accountable and fiscally responsible government by obtaining information, conducting research, and educating the public.

Money Tips for Students

Private Loans Bridge Gap Between College Costs, Other Student Aid by tIm ballard

UTAH - Most collegebound students qualify for financial aid to help pay for their education, such as federal and state grants, scholarships and federal loans. In addition, local scholarships are often available, according to KHEAA. Parents can also borrow federal loans to help pay students’ college costs.

Some students may find that these programs don’t cover all the costs of college.

Others may not qualify for state and federal aid because they’re going to school less

than half time. When that happens, private student loans, such as Advantage Education Loan, may be an option.

Because interest rates on private loans depend on the borrower’s credit rating, students may have to pay higher rates than they would on federal student loans. In addition, many lenders require students to have a cosigner, and most require the college to certify that the student needs the loan.

Students and parents should compare the private loans offered by various lend-

ers to find the best possible deal.

KHEAA is a public, non-profit agency established in 1966 to improve students’ access to college. It provides information about financial aid and financial literacy at no cost to students and parents. KHEAA also helps colleges manage their student loan default rates and verify information submitted on the FAFSA. For more information about those services, visit www.kheaa.com.

Report Ranks Utah 7th Overall in Child Well-Being

adobestoCK

While Utah ranks high for overall child well-being, advocates say the state needs to put more funding into its education system to give kids a better chance in life.

SALT LAKE CITY Utah remains near the top of the national rankings for overall child well-being, according to a new report. The state ranked highest in family and community, landing in the top spot, and lowest in health, ranking 21st among all the states.

The rankings were part of the annual Kids Count Data Book, released this week by the Annie E. Casey Foundation. Terry Haven, deputy director at Voices for Utah Children, said although the state is doing well in some categories, the number of kids that are in need continues to be a moving target.

"But the reality is we also have a lot more kids in general. We're now home to almost 300,000 more children than 1990," Haven said. "So even in those areas where we saw improvement, Utah still has more children lacking opportunities that are afforded to others. " Haven said while Utah moved from seventh to fourth in economic well-being, 24% of children live in households with high housing-cost burdens and almost 100,000 still live in poverty. She added

Utah has also made improvements in the percentage of 3-and 4-year-olds in preschool, although the state still lags behind the national average.

Leslie Boissiere, vice president for external affairs with the Casey Foundation said they have published the data book for 30 years, and this year it looks back at the demographic and geographic trends and how child wellbeing has fared over that time.

"We're seeing a tremendous increase in diversity in children in our country, a lot of the growth in the South and the West. In 14 states and the District of Columbia, children of color represent the majority in those communities," Boissiere said.

Haven said Utah's biggest challenge may be to convince

lawmakers to properly fund the state's education system.

"We know that we're in the bottom of the barrel in terms of per-pupil funding, and the fact is they do get more money. Every year we get a lot more money for education," Haven said. "But the problem is every year we also have more kids. So we're not improving, we're just keeping pace."

Boissierre stressed the importance of an accurate census count in 2020. She said 55 major federal programs will allocate more than $880 billion next year alone nationwide based on census data.

Lifetime Gifts

t H e

by Jeffery J. mCKenna "It is better to give than to receive." The sage who coined this phrase was speaking in terms of the good we can do by making gifts. Following this same advice can lead to tax-savings as well.

However, it is important to "look before we leap." Careful examination of both personal and tax considerations should be made before embarking on a course of lifetime gift giving.

Gifting is a strategy that is often suggested by estate and financial planners to those with the largest estates.

Perhaps the most significant advantage is that federal estate taxes and probate costs will be reduced because the gifted property is no longer part of your estate.

In addition, income tax savings are also possible through the use of lifetime gifts. Although certain provisions of the tax law restrict your options, you can still achieve income tax savings by giving income-producing property to those in lower tax brackets. For instance, if dividends from your stocks are taxed to you at 35 percent, you can pocket 25 percent more by giving the stock to a family member who is in the 10 percent tax bracket.

Making lifetime gifts allows you to see how the recipient manages the property or money. This may help you decide whether later gifts should be made outright or in trust. Also, lifetime gifts need not become part of the public record like gifts made under a Will.

Last, but not least, are the advantageous rules that make

certain gifts nontaxable. The basic rule is that anyone can give up to $15,000 in money or other property each year, to any number of parties, with no gift tax. This $15,000 per year, per recipient, rule is known as the “annual gift tax exclusion.” Gifts between spouses, regardless of amount, are also nontaxable. So, too, are certain tuition and medical expenses that you may make on behalf of another.

While gifting obviously has its advantages, it has its disadvantages as well. Initially, in order to achieve the advantages of gifting, you must relinquish all controls over the gifted property. Gifts must be made with no strings attached. Gifting can also have an impact on your eligibility for nursing home medical assistance.

Perhaps the most significant tax disadvantage of gifting is the loss of the socalled "stepped-up" basis.

This can be best explained by an example. Let's say you purchased unimproved land for $10,000 but the land is now worth $100,000. If you sell the land, you would realize a $90,000 taxable gain. If you were to make a lifetime gift of this property, the recipient would stand in your shoes and would also realize a $90,000 taxable gain if he or she were to sell the property. If, however, you were to bequeath the property in your Will or Revacable Trust, your beneficiary would receive it as if he or she paid $100,000 for it. As such, they could, in turn, sell it for $100,000 and realize no taxable gain. Because of this “stepped-up basis” that a de-

Animal Doctor

Smoky, our family cat, had gotten injured and needed to stay at the vet clinic for several days.

Our three children were so concerned that several times a day, my wife and I had to reassure them that Smoky was safe and being cared for by the "animal doctor."

Finally, we got the call that Smoky was ready to come home. Driving to the vet's, it became clear that our four-yearold son, Ryan, had been doing a lot of thinking about Smoky's absence when he asked, "Mom, what kind of animal is the doctor?"

cedent's beneficiaries receive, it is suggested that a donor refrain from gifting appreciated property.

The decision to make significant gifts involves consideration of many factors. If you have the inclination or the need to institute a gifting program, you should speak with your financial advisor or estate planning attorney to determine whether it is truly better to give than to receive.

During hot summer months, regular exercise can be dangerous for pets. Even if your pets are active, you may want to adjust their activities to avoid midday sweltering temperatures during the summer. Remember, animals can’t cool themselves as well as we can! Take your pet outdoors during the early morning or late evening, which tend to be a bit cooler, to avoid overheating.

Keep the paws in mind.

When the sun is cooking, surfaces like asphalt or metal can get really hot! Try to keep your pet off of hot asphalt; not only can it burn paws, but it can also increase body temperature and lead to overheating. You can test the surface with your hand. If it is too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for your pet’s paws.

If your pet is left outdoors, ensure they have access to shade and fresh water at all times.

Even if you only plan to leave a pet outdoors in the backyard for just a few minutes, sometimes your quick errand can turn into a full afternoon away from home.

Since temperatures in a yard can increase to dangerous levels within a short period of time, making sure your pet has a shaded area in the yard, access back inside, and a bowl of fresh water nearby will help

New Address

After a recent move, I made up a list of companies, agencies, and services that needed to know my new address and phoned each one to ask for the change to be made.

Everything went smoothly until I called one of my frequent flier accounts. After I explained to the representative what I wanted to do, the woman told me, "I'm sorry; we can't do that over the phone.

You will have to fill out our change-of-address form."

"How do I get one of those?" I asked.

"We'd be happy to provide you with one," she said pleasantly.

"May I have your new address so that I can mail it to you?"

Workout

During my physical fitness class, I had everyone lie on their backs with their legs up as if pedaling a bike. After several minutes, one man suddenly stopped. "Why did you stop pedaling?" I shouted.

"I didn't stop," he said, wheezing. "I'm coasting."

Health Class

After participating in a nutritional-health class, my 16-year-old daughter, Sarah, encouraged her sisters to try whole-grain breads and whole - wheat pasta, and complained if we were having anything that looked too processed.

At dinnertime one evening, she entered the kitchen, spied the food on the plates and boldly asked: "Are those whole wheat potatoes?"

keep them safe from heat-related problems.

Be aware of the signs of heat stroke.

Signs of heat stroke include excessive panting, dark or bright red tongue and gums, lethargy, stumbling, seizures, bloody diarrhea, and vomiting. If you suspect your pet is suffering from heat stroke, you should seek veterinary treatment as soon as possible.

You can provide some immediate treatment using cool (but not icy) water to lower your pet’s temperature by submerging them into a tub of water, wetting him or her with a hose or sponging them down. If your pet showed signs of heat stroke but has been cooled and now appears fine, do not assume that all is well. Internal organs, such as the liver, kidneys and the brain, are all affected by extreme body temperature elevation. It is best to have a veterinarian examine your pet to assess potential health complications and ensure that other risks are not overlooked.

Stay safe at barbecues.

Backyard barbecues are a lot of fun, but the food and drinks offered can be bad for pets. Keep your pets away from alcohol and foods like grapes, onions, and chocolate.

Keep your pets away from fireworks.

Pets are at risk for fatal injuries and painful burns if they are allowed to run around freely when fireworks are being used. Some fireworks also contain chemicals toxic to pets, such as potassium nitrate and arsenic. Not to mention the loud noises can be frightening and disturbing to pets (remember, their hearing is many times better than ours).

With these precautions, you’ll ensure your pet stays cool and safe all summer long.

low the track of wildlife violators, missing children or lost hikers. Both of our K9s successfully completed numerous multi-mile tracks during their training.”

The training was long and intense — for both the dogs and their human counterparts.

“The hardest part of the training was trying to keep up with Cruz while tracking,” Burgess said. “He is young and I am old. He did get me into better shape than I have

been in for a long time. It is also difficult to try and learn to think like a dog does, with no verbal communication and no answers to why he does certain things sometimes. But I am looking forward to Cruz having success and building him into an effective dog with a very important role in wildlife law enforcement.”

Carver had previously undergone K9 training with his former dog, Cody. After Cody died, Carver got Cruz and began raising him and working with him. He had Cruz for about 10 months before he got a tip about Carlo

needing a home.

“The owner was looking to place him in a law enforcement home. Carlo was high energy and was too much for his current owners to handle, and he was basically in a kennel, day and night. I decided to test Carlo, in hopes of finding him a home. I fell in love with this guy. Something about him just needing a second chance made him more appealing.”

Carver kept Carlo as his partner to help patrol the southern part of the state and Burgess got Cruz for northern Utah.

While the dogs will pri-

marily be used in helping to solve wildlife-related crimes, like trespassing and poaching cases, they will also assist other law enforcement agencies.

“I worked many cases in my career where a K9 would have made a huge difference,” Carver said. “I know that having a K9 is a huge asset to not only our agency and the hunting community, but also other agencies and the general public.”

While the dogs will be very useful in law enforcement work, they are great to be around. Because they are not trained to be “bite dogs,” they are very friendly.

“Our officers take the dogs to school programs and other community functions, and people usually love to be around Labs because of their friendly nature,” Bettridge said. “DWR officers work hard to ensure that the people of Utah have an enjoyable and safe experience while hunting, fishing or experiencing the outdoors. Adding these canines to their efforts will increase the effectiveness of our officers and provide additional support for the agencies we work alongside.”

Another DWR conservation officer and his dog will be attending a K9 training in Utah in July and a fourth officer is slated to attend in 2020.

O bituaries Delna Daly

WASHINGTON CITY / PANGUITCH - Delna Martina Howes Daly entered this life on August 3, 1930, in Junction, Utah, the only daughter of Angus and Ethel LaVern Jessen Howes. She entered into eternal life June 18, 2019, at the home of her daughter in Washington, Utah. She married James Arthur Daly on August 21, 1951, in Junction, Utah. Their marriage was solemnized in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Los Angeles Temple on March 24, 1979. Arthur preceded her in death May 11, 2019. They were married for 67 years and were separated for only 38 days. Children: Sharlotte Daly (Randy) Wride, and Fred James (Gayle Waldron) Daly. Grandchildren: Brent Alan deceased (Heather Bellows) Wride, Traci Wride (Joshua) Watson, Craig Lee (Tara Stringham) Wride, Corinne Daly (Benjamin) Thornton, Shannon Daly (Brian) Drees, Scott Evan (Jessica McGuire) Daly; and 20 great-grandchildren. Preceded in death are her parents and brothers: Eerol S. Howes, Angus LaVee Howes, Orlin E. Howes.

Delna loved the outdoors, most of all the mountains. She and Arthur traveled throughout the USA in their travel trailer and enjoyed a couple of cruises. Many trips were with family or friends. She enjoyed being with her many friends and especially family who all loved her dearly, even organizing the first Daly Family Reunion in 1981. Delna served the Lord in many capacities as her health allowed. She cared for her dad as he lived full time with the family for several years. She enjoyed dinner clubs with friends, travel, playing cards, name extractions (religious), attending the temple, being with family the most, and serving others. All who knew her always said how she is so very sweet and loving.

Delna always made everyone feel welcome and loved, including her children's friends. Delna quietly touched lives for good in her, gentle, loving, compassionate way.

Immediately following their wedding, Delna and Arthur moved to the Los Angeles area where she attended Pepperdine University and received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Home Economics.

She was an expert seamstress and cook among many other skillful talents. As a teenager she loved teaching in 4H and she received many Utah State awards.

Delna created beautiful clothes for her family, quilts, pillows, drapery, and upholstery just to name a few.

She often spoke of being a "farm girl" and said that her mother would never let her milk a cow but she worked on the farm and pastures with the animals, had a pet pig, and in the potato fields.

After her graduation they moved to Hacienda Heights, California where they raised their family. Later the couple moved to Whittier, California. After Arthur's retirement in 1987 they were able to travel more. They left the big city to move back to the area they loved in 1993 to Richfield, Utah, and later to Washington, Utah in 2011.

Funeral services will be held Friday, June 28, 2019, at 10:00 a.m. in the Treasure Valley Ward Chapel of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 450 W 3650 S, Washington, Utah, 84780 where friends and family may call in the Relief Society room from 8:30-9:30 a.m.

Burial will be Friday in the Panguitch City, Utah, Cemetery at 2:30 p.m. Funeral Directors: Magleby Mortuary, Richfield, Salina and Manti. Online guestbook at www.maglebymortuary. com Nurse of Excellence

Hopefully you all have started gathering those important documents and began creating a Financial Binder!

One item that should accompany the Financial Binder is an Emergency Cash Stash.

Having a stash of emergency cash in your home is an important part of emergency preparedness. Scenarios such as a natural disaster, a national catastrophe, or a real-life family emergency will make you appreciate those dollars you have safely tucked away.

Although credit and debit cards are convenient, a backup cash stash is necessary in an emergency. A true emergency will usually require you to have money, often cash, to survive.

Just in case the electricity is knocked out for several days, your local bank and grocery store might resort to a cash-only policy because credit card machines and

ATMs won’t work. Occasionally, in natural disasters, banks are unable to open their doors to the public due to flooding, building damage, or their security being compromised by an earthquake, etc.

Another good reason to store cash in your home is if your credit card is stolen or lost. You might have to rely on cash for gas and food until a new card can be issued How much cash do I need to have on hand? The size of your Emergency Cash Stash is dependent on you and your potential emergency. To estimate how much money you will need to access immediately is to imagine yourself in a real emergency. How much cash would you need for food and gas? Would you need cash to pay for a motel if you have to evacuate to another city? What type of a family emergency would require you to dip into your tucked away dollars and quarters? Emergencies will and do happen.

It’s just part of life. Having cash to help you through these emergencies can prove to be invaluable Also consider how many people you are responsible for in case of an emergency. Are you going to need to travel very far to get to your evacuation area?

How many motel rooms might you need to rent? By counting heads ahead of time, you will be able to estimate the cost of paying for an evacuation using cash.

How do I get started?

Make establishing an Emergency Cash Stash a priority! Start small with $20 in coins and bills. Add to it every month. Make it a line item in your monthly budget.

If you are expecting an income tax refund, use a portion of it to get started. Or – use the refund to fund the entire amount of cash you feel you need. Opt for lower denomination bills, especially $1 and $5. In an extreme emergency or disaster, you may have to

Weddings Special Events All Occasions

pay huge amounts for even a bottle of water. If you have smaller bills, you will probably be able to pay less because the person selling the water will be more likely to have change. Rolls of quarters can also prove to be valuable to have in your stash for making change and even bartering for other needed items.

If you are putting together 72 Hour Kits for each person in your family, you might want to consider putting some cash in each kit. In case of separation during an evacuation, you will want to make sure everyone has access to some small bills and coins.

No borrowing from your Emergency Cash Stash when you need some money! This cash is to be left alone so it’s available when you need it.

What is Standing?

Yes, you can stand up or sit down, but to successfully bring a successful lawsuit against another party, you must have something called standing.

Standing is the ability of one party to bring a lawsuit to court because they have a stake in the outcome. The person or entity must show the court there is a significant connection to harm from the other party’s action or inaction. To have standing, the plaintiff (party filing the case) must show an injury, causation, and redressability.

Injury. The Plaintiff must have an injury in fact of their own legal interests. This means the plaintiff must have suffered some sort of actual harm: physical, property, financial, or other legal harm.

Examples of injuries include physical force, breaking or ruining personal or real property, being the recipient of a neighbor’s nuisance, being threatened, or some type of takings from another person or entity such as fraud, or breaking a law. Sometimes, you’ll hear that a case “isn’t ripe” for decision. This means that there is not yet an imminent or actual harm occurring against the plaintiff. Cases that have been deemed not ripe would be if the plaintiff sued their employer on the 15th of the month for not paying wages by the end of the month.

Causation. This element can be the hardest to prove.

There are two types of causation: actual and proximate – and the law requires that both are met. Actual causation uses the “but for” test. Actual causation occurs when the action was necessary for the injury to happen. For example, if you run a red light, you were hit by a car. In other words, if you would not have been hit by a car but for your decision

to run the red light.

Proximate cause is notoriously confusing and making it great legal fodder for your attorney and utter confusion for anyone with other hobbies than learning legal concepts. Basically, it means there is legally sufficient (aka legal nuance) evidence to result in a liability. “legally sufficient” evidence could be an act, omission, foreseeable outcome, or other action/inaction She's your local lawyer! that directly produces the event that would not have party’s medical and car costs, occurred otherwise. fixing your vehicle, and any For example, if you run a medical/monetary damages red light because your breaks you’ve sustained. stopped working, what is the So, remember, to have cause of the other driver’s standing to sue, you must be injuries and your injuries? able to show an injury, have You were driving the car that actual and proximate causacaused the accident, so ini- tion, and show redressability. tially the accident would be Disclaimer.

good sense of their breeding habitat but don’t know where they go and spend their winters. We think they use rodent burrows, go under logs, beaver dams, where flowing water keeps it from freezing solid—we think that’s what they’re doing.”

Wheeler underscores how agency cooperation has made the project a success.

“One of the key points of this project is it’s really been a good effort to show how agencies can all work together to make conservation work for a species. Mike and my roles kind of blur together. At the Division of Wildlife Resources we manage the wildlife, whereas Mike manages the habitat that those species live in. Although he does a lot of monitoring that is usually mine and I do a lot of habitat work that is usually his, so we work together on it.”

“That’s the great message here, we work together and are helping the toad out and making a difference,” said Wheeler.

The Newly Launched “Kayenta Company” Presents Three Exciting Shows this Summer

Beginning July 11, audiences will delight in the first three of Kayenta Company’s events at the Center for the Arts at Kayenta: “The Taming of the Shrew,” “Shakespeare's Roses” and “Barefoot in the Park.”

IVINS - Theatre veterans/buffs/snobs Richard Hill, Jan Broberg, and Chris Whiteside have partnered to form Kayenta Company, whose purpose is to enhance an already vibrant arts scene in southern Utah by putting on Broadway-caliber theatre at the beautiful new Center for the Arts at Kayenta. Broberg is the Center's Executive Director; Hill teaches theatre at Hurricane High School and co-helms Hill Trotter Productions; and Whiteside, the Center’s manager, recently produced and starred in "Hank Williams: Lost Highway."

“The Taming of the Shrew” In this version of William Shakespeare’s hysterical comedy, four breathless, mentally disturbed actors play all 28 parts!

When asked whom the play would appeal to, Hill (who directs and acts in it along with three others), said “Shakespeare lovers, people who like romance, people who like comedy, young people who are a bit scared of Shakespeare but curious to know why he’s the bomb… these are the people who will definitely love this wild show.”

Hill was inspired to do the play after watching a similar feat by a troupe from the Royal Shakespeare Company perform Hamlet a few years ago. He was struck by how skillfully the actors took on different characters and voices and changed in and out of costumes…all at the speed of a Shakespearean comedy.

“It’s fascinating to watch four actors perform 28 roles, wearing and changing in and out of Elizabethan costume—all on stage,” he says, adding, “It’s delightful, funny… romantic.”

He’s pleased to have three terrific actors working with him: Brandon Miller, Joseph Carlisle, and Christa Gross.

“Shakespeare’s Roses,”

by Dan Decker This one-man play, starring Hill, is an exploration into the human side of Shakespeare that few knew about, like his secret love life and the dreaded disease he contracted in his 20s that ultimately killed him. “It’s about beating formidable odds,” Hill says, “It’s about his ambition to become a poet [talk about underestimating yourself!], and how hard it was for him to overcome his reputation as a country yokel.” The play

examines the roots of Shakespeare’s humor, bitterness, helplessness, and hopeless romanticism—the same emotions that fed his brilliant writing. Chris Whiteside, who’s seen Hill perform, is eager to see the play. “Richard has a fascinating style,” he says, “and I can’t wait to watch him portray one of history’s most fascinating people.”

“Shakespeare buffs, history buffs, and anyone who loves romance and comedy will love this show, ” Hill says adding, “ and anyone 12 and older if none of those descriptions apply to you.”

“Barefoot in the Park,”

by Neil Simon

Neil Simon fans, families with teens, boomers who love reminiscing on the good ol’ days, and pretty much anyone (over 14) who “loves love” will love this production of “Barefoot in the Park.”

Why? According to Jan Broberg, “It’s a play that stands the test of time; it has universal appeal because it’s a funny, moving story that tells why love is the power we want to rule and rock the world!” Directed by Clarence Gilyard, Emmy-nominated star of “Walker: Texas Ranger,” the play tells the story of Paul, a conservative young lawyer, who marries the vivacious Corie. Their passionate relationship descends into comical discord in a five-story New York City walk-up. Get your tickets online through kayentaarts.com, or by calling 435-674-2787.
