DAY OF THE CONDOR, JULY 14

See the Northern Hemisphere’s largest birds at a free viewing event

TOUR SHEDS LIGHT ON SHAKY FUTURE OF MAMMOTH CREEK FISH HATCHERY

those birds are free flying.

And about one third of the free-flying birds are found in Utah and Arizona.

“That means on any given day,” he says, “nearly one quarter of the world’s wild California condor population could be right here in southern Utah.”

Virgin — If you’re in the right spot at the right time, one of the largest and rarest birds in the world might soar directly over your head.

On July 14, the Division of Wildlife Resources will host its annual California condor viewing event.

Dubbed “The Day of the Condor,” the free event runs from 8 a.m. to noon at a spot on the Kolob Reservoir Road two miles south of the reservoir. The viewing site is 21 miles north of Virgin in southwestern Utah.

Those who have attended the event in past years have been thrilled to watch condors soar in the sky above them. “To give yourself the best chance to see the greatest number of birds,” says Keith Day, wildlife biologist for the DWR, “get to the viewing site as early as possible.”

To reach the viewing site, take state Route 9 to Virgin. Then turn north at the Kolob Reservoir turnoff in Virgin, and travel through Zion National Park. The viewing site is 21 miles from Virgin near Kolob Reservoir.

After you’ve traveled 21 miles, look for DWR staff directing cars into a parking

area on the south side of the road.

Biologists from the DWR, the National Park Service and The Peregrine Fund will be available to answer your questions. Free information about condors will also be available.

If you’d like to see a preview of the type of bird you’ll watch at this year’s event, a free video — Flying giants—rare California condors return to Utah skies — is waiting for you on the DWR’s YouTube page.

A condor viewing hotspot Day says condor activity in Utah has increased dramatically since 2005. “During the summer months, it’s not unusual for more than 30 birds to be in Utah. And some condors stay through the winter,” he says. “In the past, more than 60 condors have been tracked in the Zion National Park area during a single day.”

When you consider how rare California condors are, seeing that many condors in southern Utah is exciting. “The world’s California condor population numbers 414 birds,” Day says. “More than half of

A large and unique bird The California condor is the largest flying bird in the Northern Hemisphere.

It’s about four to five feet long from head to tail. That makes the bird impressive to see, even when it isn’t flying. But, with a wingspan of about 9 feet, and weighing between 16 and 23 pounds, condors are especially impressive in flight.

Adults are a dull black with white coloring under their wings. Their bald heads are covered with yellow, orange and red skin.

Young condors have a black head and don’t have white under their wings like the adults do. But they’re about the same size as the adults. On the ground or in the air, the young condors are just as impressive to see as the adults are.

Taking care of their young Condors usually reach maturity when they’re six to seven years old. When they reach that age, they choose a mate. They usually remain with that mate for the rest of their life.

Condors lay a single egg on the floor of a small cave or crevice on the side of a cliff. Both parents help incubate the egg. It takes about 56 days for the egg to hatch.

After the egg hatches, the young condor will remain near its nest for about two to three months. It won’t fledge (take its first flight) until it’s five or six months old.

The young condor’s parents will take care of it for a full year, and sometimes even longer. Because of their devotion to their young, condors don’t nest every year. Instead, they nest every two years.

Jim Snodgrass, with Friends of Mammoth Creek Fish Hatchery, Senator Ralph Okerlund and hatchery manager Gordon Nelson address tour members.

Hatch—More than 50 people turned out for a June 27 tour of Garfield County’s state-run fish hatchery, hosted by Friends of the Mammoth Creek Fish Hatchery.

The tour preceded an informational open-house in Panguitch the following day, and was held to provide a closer look at the facility and offer time for questions with officials from the Utah Department of Wildlife Resources regarding a proposal to close fish stocking operations at Mammoth Creek, or to shift the facility to a brood rearing operation. These proposals are the result of a state financial audit that has targeted the facility for closure.

Many DWR officials were on hand for the event, as well as State Senator Ralph Okerlund.

Located just south of Hatch off of Hwy 89, the Mammoth Creek Fish Hatchery has supplied regional waters with fish stock since 1923. It is part of a state system of 10 hatchery facilities operated by the Utah DWR. Supporters of the hatchery—and in particular its mission of maintaining fish stocking operations— claim that the state audit conducted last year by the Legislative Auditor General was flawed.

Jim Snodgrass said in an opening statement, “The audit report focused on pounds of fish produced and dollars expended at each hatchery. This is a very narrow view of the hatchery process and not a good basis for important decisions to be made.”

Further critiques of the audit include that it does not define the cost of transferring stocking activities to other hatcheries, particu-

larly transportation costs.

Meanwhile, the audit report itself indicates that data to provide a sufficient evaluation is lacking. The report states, “…we found that DWR had not developed sufficient data to enable a fair and reliable comparison of hatchery production costs.”

The Mammoth Creek hatchery was recently renovated with state-of-the art, covered steel raceways and a UV filtration system—the first hatchery in the state to obtain this technology-after whirling disease was discovered at the hatchery in 2002. Following this investment of more than $2 million, the hatchery reopened its fish stocking operations in 2006.

Now, the audit suggests that the cost of the operating Mammoth Creek is too high and a proposal is on the table to transfer stocking operations to other state hatcheries. Mammoth Creek supporters believe this is shortsighted, wondering why such an investment was made, only to close the facility. They also note that Mammoth Creek hatchery is very efficient, producing more pounds of fish per cubit foot than any other hatchery in the state.

Area residents claim that during the 2002-2005 period when Mammoth Creek was closed for renovation, the quality of area fishing plummeted, and significant economic activity was lost to the region from the lack of anglers.

Panguitch resident Vince Salvato, who ran a fly fishing operation during that period, stated, “When the Mammoth Creek hatchery was full bore prior to the whirling disease problem, we would have campers fishing all along the Sevier River. When the hatchery

was shut down it definitely impacted this whole area.

The fishery was extremely poor, and we lost a lot of our fishermen.” He suggested that the state conduct a thorough economic impact study for the region prior to making a decision on Mammoth Creek’s future.

It was noted during the tour that more than 70% of southern Utah’s fishing license revenue is from non-residents, significantly higher than other areas of the state. In addition, revenue from hunting is also dependent upon great fishing.

Many hunters come from outside the area, and while they may not always get the deer or elk they were after, they are satisfied with their visit due to the great fishing, and that keeps them coming back.

Organizers of Friends of the Mammoth Creek Hatchery feel that if they hadn’t started raising issues about the audit and impending closure, the facility might already be closed, or close to it. Roger Wilson, who leads the Aquatics Division for the DWR, has suggested that to keep the facility from closing completely, they have a proposal to transfer brood rearing operations from the Egan Hatchery in Bicknell, while it is closed for renovations due to a coldwater disease problem. This would keep Mammoth Creek open for a period of 3-5 years.

“We’d like to keep Mammoth running,” stated Wilson. “We would like to have a discussion with the locals of what we can do to keep it running. He also noted, “There was some discussion of closing it in early September.”

To some area residents, the proposal to shift to brood rearing is a poor replacement for the stocking operations, and there is a concern, should the brood rearing proposal move forward, about what happens to the facility after the Egan Hatchery comes back online again.

Vince Salvato stated, “We’re not going to let this go away, and sweep this under the rug like they intend to do.”

Operation Mammoth Creek Fish Hatchery costs about $370,000 annually, and the facility employs 3 full time staff 7 days a week and one seasonal employee.

CEDAR MT. FIRE UPDATE

Garkane is warning all consumer/members that have plans to visit Cedar Mountain or that are currently on Cedar Mountain for the 4th ofJuly holiday, that power may be off for an undetermined time.

Garkane is currently under direction of fire crews that are working in the area and we are doing everything we can to help.

It is possible that power will be shut-off within the next 2-4 hours. Fire crews will be spraying fire retardant onto Garkane’s power lines to minimize damages. Unfortunately, this can only be accomplished with the power off. Residents on Cedar Mountain would be without power possibly all week and possibly longer. It is not yet determined when power would be restored to the area. The retardant must be cleared from the lines, before power can be restored.

Again, we are warning all residents on Cedar Mountain from Duck Creek East, that there is a possibility of long-term power outages due to the fire in the area. Please be aware and take precautions.

We apologize for the inconvenience, but we are doing everything possible to help fire crews minimize the damages to the area.

Logan LeFevre from Bryce Valley High School was among 237 high school juniors attending the 2012 American Legion Boys’ State held June 4-8 at Weber State University in Ogden Utah. For 77 years, the American Legion has provided select young men the opportunity to attend the week long forum highlighting the values of citizenship and public service.

This class of 2012 American Legion participants addressed concepts of the United States Constitution recognizing 225 years since ratification. The week long curriculum provided practical learning about city and state governments by organizing the young men into cities and holding elections under the direction of veterans who volunteered during the week.

Logan was elected and served as a Circuit Judge and County Delegate. Logan participated in the Hinkley Institute of Politics’ Youth Political Engagement Project and competed the requirements to receive 3 hours of Political Science college credit. Governor Gary R. Herbert was the keynote speaker at the graduation ceremony and encouraged the boys to take advantage of every learning and service opportunity that comes along and expressed appreciation to those organizations that make the Boys’ State experience possible.

Logan was sponsored by the Bryce Valley Lions Club and is the son of Layne and April LeFevre of Tropic, Utah.

OPEN LETTER

TO ALL LOCAL, WAYNE COUNTY, STATE, AND FEDERAL AGENCIES AND PERSONNEL INVOLVED IN FIGHTING THE LOST LAKE FIRE: Those of us who were in the potential path of the Lost Lake fire and were consequently evacuated from our homes briefly, wish to express our gratitude and thanks for the terrific work and response of all those who were involved in containing this fire and keeping everyone safe. The coordination of efforts was superb, and the level of help from local law enforcement, emergency agencies, fire department and other local volunteers, as well as the massive help from Federal fire crews was remarkable. Many put their lives on the line to stop this fire, some are paid to do so, but many local personnel are strictly volunteer: special thanks to those who serve unpaid. We feel very fortunate, and we deeply appreciate the efforts of all concerned. It is very heart-warming when we are all ‘on the same page’, helping each other and working for the same out-come.

With sincere appreciation, Bonnie Mangold Jan and Jane Callister Anne Macey Ted and Sandy Lovato

UTAH RESTRICTS FIREWORKS USE ON STATE, FEDERAL, AND ALL UNINCORPORATED PRIVATE LANDS Statewide fire restrictions have been issued by fire managers from the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands, Bureau of Land Management, Forest Service, National Park Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. That is, that all lands in the State of Utah, except incorporated towns and cities, are closed to fireworks. Simply put, if you live in the county, on unincorporated private lands, you cannot set off fireworks along with several other restrictions. Governor Herbert called on local communities to take a look at their fireworks ordinances. Utah State Forester Dick Buehler has asked that all unincorporated county lands, state forests, and BLM land be closed to fireworks use this summer season. Residents may not be aware of the fireworks restrictions that local city and county leaders have put in place. The hope is that everyone will use common sense when using fireworks this summer season. Fire danger is extremely high this year, due to the lack of winter snowfall and spring rain. For more information on the restrictions, please visit www.utahfireinfo.gov

EQUINE JOURNEYS ANNOUNCES ITS FIRST GRADUATE Last fall Natalie (not her real name) came to Equine Journeys struggling with school, her relationships with peers, and her relationships with her family.

Last week she graduated not only from the program, but from high school as well.

“She came to us hurting, broken, scared, and frustrated. She left with her confidence restored and a new sense of hope. Her toughest decision to make now is which one of the eight colleges she was accepted into she is going to attend this fall” stated Kevin Knutson, Director of Academics and Administration.

Natalie stated, “Between the work with my horse and with the staff I have been able to get

back to who I really am.”

“I am very grateful to everyone at EJ who has given my daughter back! She was headed on a bad path and I was extremely concerned about her. It is wonderful to see the smile back on her face and the hope in her heart” stated Natalie’s mother.

Since Equine Journeys opened their doors on in August of 2011 they have been able to successfully implement their unique and comprehensive equine therapy program. “Teaching this generation of young people how to work--on our farm and ranch--in addition to the personal connections they are making with the horses is having a great

positive effect on their ability to function in their families and society as a whole” stated Brandon Burr, Director of Clinical and Program at Equine Journeys.

“I have been around horses all of my life and I know the amazing power they have to help people. I enjoy sharing some of the things I have learned about them to others who are willing to engage in the relationship” says Chad Lyman, Director of Ranch operations.

Equine Journeys is a state licensed Residential Treatment Center for adolescents aged 13-18 and a Residential Support for 18-30 year old adult males located in Loa, UT. They specialize in equine, traditional, and work therapy.

Every1Counts MIRACLES IN DISGUISE They’re everywhere. Even when something happens that you wished hadn’t. For instance, I dropped my cell phone the other day when getting out of my car. But that was supposed to happen. Otherwise I wouldn’t have gone into the Verizon store and met this sweet man from El Salvador named Armando who I was able to invite to church. Or even, Joe, whose wife died from ovarian cancer which opened the door for me to talk about hereditary breast and ovarian cancer especially regarding his daughter (since ovarian cancer at any age is a red flag in a family).

And then I left my bananas in the car. If I hadn’t done that I wouldn’t have run into Michelle, my neighbor, and found that she’s a walking miracle since she once slipped into a coma after a surgery she’d had. We also spoke about looking out for one other when we are ill.

Or what about when I went to mail some things at the post office (which is located inside a grocery store) and stays open until 7 PM Monday – Saturday, but decided not to shop at this store afterwards since I don’t normally due to their prices tending to be higher than a few of the other stores. So, I end up at Smith’s, were I usually shop. And there I ran into this young man named, Joe*, who I’d gotten to know over the course of a few weeks. And each time I was in Joe’s line he was full of the spirit. Always smiling. Kind, helpful, essentially Christlike.

“I love your spirit, Joe.” “Thanks,” he beamed with a large smile.

“Thanks for always helping me.”

“You’re welcome.”

“Have you always been like this?”

“Pretty much.

And then somehow Joe spoke about how he’d gone to church with his mom when she lived in town and how he hadn’t since she’d left. But before that

he spoke of how the girls his age (he’s 21), who he had dated, he found to be immature and only into partying (not to imply that all 21 year-olds fall into these categories).

And then Joe spoke of making right choices.

“Is everyone in your family like this?”

“Oh, no.”

“But you’re!”

“Yeah,” Joe smiled.

“Well, keep going.”

“I am,” he said. I’m even planning for my retirement.”

“Wow, Joe, at 21, good for you.”

“Hey Joe?” “Yeah?”

“I know where you can meet people with your same standards?”

“Where’s that?”

“At my church. Do you work tomorrow?”

“I do. From four to ten.”

“Oh, okay, we meet at 1 PM. Here’s my card. My cell number’s on it. We’d love to have you join us.”

“Okay, yeah,” Joe said, browsing over my card with a smile. And as I looked at Joe, I felt that he’d come. No, I actually knew he would come. I also had the distinct impression that he would someday be a missionary. I could totally see it! And later that night I was impressed again that Joe would come to church.

The same impression came the next morning. And then, about 12:40 pm, 20 minutes before church begin, a call came through that I didn’t recognize, but I knew it was Joe. “This is Cynthia!

“Hi, this is Joe. I’m standing outside your church.”

“That’s awesome, Joe! I’m on my way. I’ll be right there.”

“Okay.”

And then I thanked Heavenly Father for allowing me to meet Joe and for allowing me to shop at Smith’s instead of another store if for only to meet Joe. You see Joe not only came to church on Sunday; he didn’t want to leave. And even though our church ended at 4PM, Joe stayed until about 3:45 PM with

just enough time to get to work.

And I could see that while at church Joe felt loved and was beaming.

And then he sent me this text later that afternoon, “”Would like to thank you for inviting me to the church and looking forward to going every Sunday with you :).” Followed by another text, “And this is Joe :).”

So the next time you drop your phone, or leave bananas in your car or decide to shop at another store, it is likely God’s directing you and that He needs you to connect with someone who’s been praying for someone to come into their life. So inside of thinking, “crap” when something goes wrong think, “miracle”. And when you do you will find one that needs to be performed.

By the way, Armando, Joe, Michelle, and Joe? I met all in one day and within a couple hours of each other. *Name change Cynthia Kimball is a professional speaker and trainer through her company Every1Counts, LLC, and a doctoral student in Workforce Education Leadership.

Meteorologists are calling for a cruel, hotter than a firecracker summer as daily temps continue to hover right around the century mark. Hankville’s high temperatures are straining the upper limits of Barbra Ekker’s thermometer and have recently registered a bone blistering 104+ degrees. On any given day the Wayne County boys working for Brown Brother’s Construction on the Notom Road can be seen with their tongues hanging out and welcome the water truck as it passes by, but they are all smiling because there is plenty of work to do.

Some good news is that oil prices are down due weak demand and continuing consumer confidence in the quality and safety

of American beef could be keeping prices high according to local livestock raisers. On the flip side, cites and towns throughout Utah are facing water restrictions as result of low snow fall amounts last winter.

With the water fall permanently closed in Capitol Reef National Park some locals and visiting tourists can be found searching the Fremont River for a spot deep enough in the flowing water to submerge themselves for some relief from the heat. The rope swing over the Torrey canal has always been a favorite summer place for the kids and some daring adults to cool off.

Fireworks restrictions are in place for all unincorporated areas in Utah, Torrey Town has also issued a fireworks ban. Heads will roll if the fire trucks have to roll, according to statements by Governor Gary, and the Utah State Fire Marshall, the U.S. Forest Service has mandated a “No Open Fire Policy”.

The Governors new catch phrase that “You can’t outlaw stupid” has caught on during this fire season and actually explains a lot about some human beings and their off spring as far as fire is concerned.

The “Top of Zion” relay race runners left the Rim Rock Inn early Friday morning west of Capitol Reef National Park, runners then turned south onto Utah’s only “All-American Road” (also known as Highway 12). Nycole Durfey, Wayne County’s Tourism Director and her dedicated early morning staff were stationed near the Miner’s Mountain Road providing the racers encouragement and band aids.

The “All-American” road passes through Dixie National Forest, over Boulder

Mountain, through Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Red Canyon, and Bryce Canyon National Park (Where our southern friends motto is, “it is a hell of place to lose a cow”).122 miles of the 204 mile course was run in Wayne and Garfield County. The course continued south on “Scenic Byway” 89 for a short distance before it turns onto Mammoth road heading for more of Dixie National Forest on Cedar Mountain (highway 14). The last leg (no pun intended) turned onto Navajo Lake road and ran south overlooking the top of Zion National Park!

The relay finished at Zion Ponderosa Ranch and Resort. For some semi-overweight and out of shape locals just the excruciating thought of having to physically run from Torrey to Zion National Park in this heat was cause for some perceived somatic heat exhaustion but was easily treatable with a couple of hours lounging in the shade sipping on sarsaparilla or something stronger.

Anticipation is running high and there are some relatively nervous sheep running around Teasdale in preparation for the Annual Teasdale Fire Department Mutton and Taters fry fund raiser and community get together coming up in July. As Dunk Taylor always says, “There is nutton like mutton, its finger lickin good”.

Jeri Johnson Wayne County EMS Manager is encouraging all Wayne County residents to become part of the Code Red system.

After the parades there will plenty of fun, food and games at the Torrey Park, something you don’t want to miss is the Café Diablo’s annual Pie Eating contest and $100.00 prize. Saturday evening The Mark Owens band will provide music for your dancing pleasure at the Big Apple in beautiful downtown Torrey.

To ensure and maintain adequate water levels for fire protection in and around Torrey Town, residents and visitors are encouraged to conserve our water. Reduce your water usage by watering less and when it is cool and try showering with a loved one if it has been a long time since you have done so.

Have a safe and fun 4th of July weekend, show your pride in America, wave a flag.

FYI PANGUITCH

BIRTHDAYS

By: Mack Oetting ~ E-mail: mackoetting @gmail.com It’s July 1st and the year is half over, is it an old person thing that time just keeps flying by, or what.

It just seems like yesterday that our family was in Arkansas at my brother’s home for New Years Eve. I hope your 4th was safe and sane, with all the wild fires going on through the State, its getting scary. The Town is fasting for rain; all of Utah is in a drought. I don’t think it has rained any amount of moisture for the last two months and all of the wind isn’t helping maters. If you cause a fire by careless use of fireworks or just fooling around, you could be held libel for the damage that you cause.

Last Thursday night open house, concerning the Fish Hatchery was a big success, according to Gordon Nelson. The States Aquatic Manager and Cultural Chief were there and were impress by the concerns of the local citizens and the big crowd, over the closing of the hatchery.

The State just spent 2 million dollars on the hatchery, redoing it in stainless steel water ways, because of the infection of whirling disease in the fish. The hatchery stocks 40,000 cut-throat trout in the Lake each year.

Gordon Nelson will keep in touch with us if there is any thing else we can do. Gordon wanted to thank all of you that showed up, you really made a difference.

Interest rates are really down; you might want to check your local bank about refinancing your home loan. We have a ten year loan, with 7 years left on the loan, by taking advantage of the low interest rate 3.6%, we cut a year off of loan, or now six years.

Our payments are almost the same. You might look into a ten year loans; I think that you will find that the difference between that and a 30 year loan will be very little cost wise.

The Court House will have an open house this Friday and Saturday. Friday the seniors throughout the County will have a sneak preview at 2:00 and the General Public will be welcomed at 3:00 to 7:00 pm. Saturday it will be open from 10 am to 2:00 pm. There will be a dedication of the Court House on Monday July 9th at 2:00 pm. The Garfield County office will be closed from Tuesday the 10th till Friday the 13th, while they move back into the Court House.

The Republicans blinked and OK’d the low interest student loans; they caved in on the Keystone pipe line out of Canada.

What does that mean to us other than your children will have a chance to go to college, part of the bill was the Federal Highway funding. Leland Pollock our County Commissioner, made two trips back to DC

to meet with Senator Hatch over Public School Lands money. Senator Hatch tied the Lands money into the Highway funding and it will be coming. This will be a year to year effort and it will go a long way in funding our schools. The down side is I told Leland that I would vote for Senator Hatch, so show me the money Commissioner.

Last week the cost of a barrel oil dipped down to $78, thirty dollars below what it was 6 weeks ago mainly because there is so much in surplus, a 22 year high. Don’t expect prices to go down, its summer time and the tourist season. Diesel has come down big time, almost 50 cents a gallon.

There are more and more signs that natural gas could be the fuel of the future, which will be a real boom for Utah. The Feds approved another 5,000 wells for Utah, to go along with the 11,000 wells we have already. If the Government really wanted to make our Country independent of oil from Arab countries, it would be real simple; all of the millions of barrels of oil that has come down the Alaskan pipe go to Japan.

Japan is the same distance as California, but they can get more money from them.

There will be an increase in Senior Meals cost, it is recommended that the donation be increased from $2:50 to $3:00 due to higher foods costs. The uses of the vans are also going up, it will remain at a $5:00 for use in Garfield and will increase to $10:00 for use out of the County.

The Girls got back from Mexico and I didn’t have to pay any ransom. They had a great time climbing on the pyramids and visiting all of the sights. They did say that it was a good thing I didn’t go; the transportation was crazy mainly because of the driver. Teah who loves any roller coast that was invented, got car sick. Pat said I robably would have taking over driving the bus. They needed a vacation from the 16 hours sightseeing for two weeks. They felt safe every place they went and with Teah’s Spanish they got around fairly easily.

Glad to have them back, I got tired of talking to Tink our dog.

Not much going on this weekend but get our your old running shoes, next weekend Saturday the 14th , is the annual half marathon run from Ruby’s to Cannonville. In my other life, I hated running down hill, because I was a jogger and running on your heels is a back killer. This has become a very popular race with 1,500 hundred runners taking part. It starts at 6:00 am at Ruby’s, however I will eagerly meet you at Zions Bank at 4:30 am. to drive you there in my trusty bus, try to keep me awake.

The following weekend is packed with excitement; starting with the Fiddlers Fest at the Social Hall on Thursday and Friday evening. These fine entertainers take their vacation time to come and play here and then Cannonville on Saturday. Maybe my favorite singer Cheryl Church will join in with them again this year. The Wabash Cannon Ball is a favorite and one of them does the train whistle with his throat.

The Lions Club will have their last breakfast of the year at Zions Bank on Saturday.

Because the 24th runs on Tuesday this year, the High School Rodeo willstart on Thursday and run thru Saturday. There will be saddles and buckles for the winners and this rodeo has some great riders and is very entertaining. On Saturday there will be the Desperado Duel. It’s a bike ride out to Johns Valley and Antimony on around to Hwy 89 to Panguitch for the first leg. If they are still alive, the second leg is up to Cedar Breaks and around to Todd’s Junction and back to Panguitch. I think it’s about 180 miles the whole way.

The NBA finals are over and there is a void in my life. I have live long enough to see in my opinion the two best players that ever played the game.

Wilt Chamberlain who set every record in the book and LaBron James. King James dominated the series, scoring over 30 points a game, shooting over 50% and came through when he was needed. James won his first championship at age 27 and found out one man can’t win games by himself.

The sport writers put too much emphasis on winning championships. Fisher who was a long time guard for the Lakers has 5 rings and he isn’t even close to John Stockton ability and will never be elected to the Hall of Fame.

Congratulation to the PHS Girls Freshmen Basketball Team they won big at Dixie College. There were over 600 girls there and 84 teams and many of the teams were 2A and 3A.

Panguitch is going to be strong in girl’s sports this next 4 years and that’s all sports.

Congratulation to Melanie Draper and Dr. Todd Mooney in last week’s school board election. With a new School Board from Panguitch respect for the teachers and employees in the district should improve.

The school system is made up mostly of women who are dedicated educators, who usually come from a long line of educators. Because Utah teachers are the lowest paid in the Nation, they live on appreciation, a thank you from a parent, a student who excelled and all of those who graduate from our school. The latest harassment the board has come up with is requiring all of the new teachers to reapply for their jobs and pay for being fingerprinted.

This holds true for the part time employees as well. I am so glad that my granddaughter and all of the students in the last 11 years were able to benefit from the educators that were forced out. Janice Hatch got the kids out of their box and got them competing through out the state, with her FBLA, FCCLA, Sterling Scholar, and the IF program that earned Garfield County the # 1 County in the State and AP classes that went a long ways in making Panguitch the #1 High School in the State.

She also along with Lark Reynolds saved this District from bankruptcy after the last Superintended left with district in total disarray.

Betty Ann Rember who implemented Janice Hatch’s programs and because she was such a motivator the teachers bought into them and PHS became a model school throughout the State.

Most educators throughout the state recognized Mrs. Rember’s brilliance. Now she is gone, along with Janice Hatch, Mr. Gillett, Lark Reynolds, Ms Barnes and now Mr. Reader our science teacher. Many thanks to all of you that came out and made the effort to vote in this election.

Mack O.

SUMMER READING

On June 26th, Cindy Micheli came to our story hour and taught us a lot of interesting facts about bats; particularly bats that are found in Capitol Reef National Park.

She read stories, had Brody Durfey demonstrate how long bat fingers are and even had some freeze-dried bats to pass around for the kids to see! The kids had lots of great questions for Cindy to answer and we all left story hour appreciating and understanding bats a lot more. We found out there are a lot of nocturnal animals in the world and many that live right around us. Some great books were read, we did a little dancin’ and ate some otter pops… a great time was had by all!

We want to thank Cindy for coming to help us. The last program will be held on July 10th.

July 10th --Things than go BUMP in the night! (End of summer reading party! Dress up like something that goes bump in the night, put your name in a jar for a drawing to get a free book!)

Special thanks to Millie and step daughter Karen Barnett for the tender loving care given during the good times as well as the hard times at the end of his life.

LETTER TO EDITOR The Capitol Reef National Park - Money - Taxes What part of money and taxes does the Park not understand about money and taxes? On June 4th I went to the County Commissioners meeting. Al Hendricks and Scott Brown came and asked the Commissioners if they would provide fire protection for the structures in the Park.

The Commissioners asked about money and Al said that the Park didn’t have any money. So they want we the people of Wayne County to provide protection for their structures for nothing. I would think they have more money than the county. Why should our tax

dollars pay for the Park. Do they pay property taxes for the buildings that they own like all of the rest of us? I don’t think so.

The Park seems to have money to build fences, like the one at the waterfall. Al told me that the logs cost about $2,000.00. Then they had to have people build them, take them to the waterfall and put them up, twice. Sunday the 17th of June at 4:30 we went to Bicknell and when we went by the waterfall the temperature was 101. There is so little water that I don’t think you could drown if you tried to. The Park is fencing the

whole Park and I know that in material alone it is many, many thousands and then of course they pay people to put them up. This is also many, many thousands of $$$!!!! Al told me that they have 10 million to build the two bridges, so let them use that money to pay for their own fire protection.

If the Park would like to buy a fire truck we have one they can buy.

I would like to thank all of the elected officers of Wayne County for doing a great job. I don’t agree with every thing they do but they were willing to go before the Wayne County people

and get elected. If we don’t agree with them then we should get up and do what they did, put our name out there and see what we can do to make a difference.

The ballet box is where we can make a difference.

I heard someone say “While we cannot agree with others on certain matters, we must never be disagreeable. We must be friendly, soft-spoken, neighborly and understanding.” I think this is good advise for all of us. If you think different from me that is just fine, I still like you!!!

We all need to pray that he is wrong!

The Lott’s are back from their fishing trip to Alaska. Dennis Lott took his two daughters, Elaine Lott and Emilee Woolsey, and their friend Val Sparks, for some fishing and sight seeing. They said they didn’t set any new records in the fishing game but they did set a new one for having the most fun and making lots of memories. They ate all kinds of fish, visited a lot of places and even stopped at the Kenai Harley Davidson Motorcycle Shop (I wonder why?!). Just outside of Anchorage they saw a bear and stopped to take pictures. The bear even cooperated by coming right down to the highway! They really enjoyed visiting “The Land of the Midnight Sun” but, like always, were glad to get back home.

Lane and Geraldine Liston had their G.grandson, Trayson Clark, here for a couple of days while Emilee and Dallas Clark, Cannonville, took their other two children, Weston and McKyndee to have their tonsils out. They also had the family of Tyler and Jenifer McLemore here with some of their friends from LaVerkin. They all spent the afternoon at Calf Creek and the kids had a ball playing in the water and trying to catch fish. I imagine they also visited Marc and Susann McLemore too while they were here.

The whole John Meisenbach family gathered at Fish Lake last weekend for the wedding of Jeannie and Steve Seymore’s daughter.

Boyd and LaNell Cottam, Cedar City, visited at the home of Carrie Griffin.

DeLane Griffin had three of his daughters checking on him on the weekend. Marlene Stowe and Marilee Miller who live here and Anne Alleman, who came from Kanab. It is really nice to have kids who check on us as we get older, isn’t it, DeLane?

Connie and Alfred Jepsen were in town as were Glade and Darlene Reynolds, Richfield, and Wallace (Pug) and Judy Ludgate, Cedar City. It’s always nice to welcome former residents back home. We can still claim Kevin and Deanna Moore and family, Panguitch, who lived here a number of years ago. They were in town also.

Clem and Joyce Griffin have been to Salt Lake City to help bless another grandchild. So Zion is still growing up there like it is here.

Michelle (Marsh) Givan and family were on vacation in Canada when they received a call to come home because their home, barn and cars had burned in the Herriman fire.

What a terrible loss.

Our sympathy goes out to them.

Rose Bailey neglected to tell us that she got a new red car for her birthday.

Now where do you suppose she plans to go?

Bob and Sandra Porter and their son Brent and family have been here from Mesa, Arizona. They visited with Sandra’s brother, McKay Bailey (and Rose), and Bob’s brother Vergean (and Carolyn) Porter.

They were camped at their cabin over to Boulder and Vergean and Carolyn went over one day and had dinner with them. Then they went to church in Boulder on Sunday and sat by their relatives, Renon Peterson and Faye Jepsen. So they got to visit with quite a few relatives while they were in the area.

Bob also brought some clocks to his cousin Ben Porter. He makes the most beautiful clocks you will ever see.

The Sons of the Pioneers recently went to a spot just below Posey Lake for one of their annual picnics. There were 15 or 20 members in attendance.

Sounds like fun to me!

FUNDING YOUR TRUST

Many people choose a revocable living trust instead of relying on a will or joint ownership in their estate plan. They like the cost and time savings, plus the added control over assets that a living trust can provide. When properly prepared, a living trust avoids the public and often costly, court processes at death (probate) and incapacity (conservatorship or guardianship). It can let you provide for your spouse without disinheriting your children, which can be important in second marriages.

It can save estate taxes. And it can protect inheritances for children and grandchildren from the courts, creditors, spouses, and irresponsible spending. However, many people make a major mistake in that they do not properly fund their trusts.

Funding your trust is the process of transferring your assets from you to your trust. To do this, you physically change the titles of your assets from your individual name (or joint names, if married) to the trustee of your trust. You also will change beneficiary (or contingent beneficiary) designations to your trustee. The trustee you name for your living trust controls the assets in your trust. Most likely, you have

named yourself as trustee, so you will still have complete control. Remember, one of the great features of a revocable living trust is that you can continue to buy and sell assets just as you do now. You can also remove assets from your living trust should you ever decide to do so. If you have signed your living trust document but haven’t changed titles and beneficiary designations, your trust will likely not achieve the desired results. You may have a great trust, but until you fund it (transfer your assets to it), it doesn’t control anything. Your revocable trust can only control the assets you put into it. If the goal of your living trust is to avoid probate at death and court intervention at incapacity, then you must fund it now, while you are able to do so. If you have a trust, your attorney should have prepared a “pour over will” that acts as a safety net. When you die, the will “catches” your assets and “sends” them into your trust. If you have forgotten to transfer an asset or two into your trust, the asset will probably have to go through probate first, but then it can be distributed according to the instructions in the will, to your trust. You are the one ultimately responsible for making sure all of your appropriate assets are transferred to your trust. Most attorneys will transfer real estate into the trust, and will provide forms and instructions for your other assets. Often they will include sample letters or blank forms for you to use. The funding process is not diffi-

cult. Because revocable living trusts are now so widely used, you should meet with little or no resistance when transferring your assets into your trust.

Even though the process is not difficult, it can be easy to get sidetracked or procrastinate. To prevent this from happening, make funding your revocable living trust a priority or pay an attorney to assist with all aspects of the funding. Remind yourself why you are doing this, and look forward to the peace of mind you’ll have when the funding of your trust is complete.
