Guilty Plea Entered in Lost Lake Fire Case LOA - In an initial appearance before the Wayne County 6th District Court in Loa on Monday, 38-year old Wayne County resident Lance Durfey pleaded guilty to a third degree felony charge of arson in the case of the Lost Lake Fire.

Mr. Durfey admitted to setting several fires on June 3 on the North Slope of Boulder Mountain, approximately 4 miles SW of Teasdale. According to individuals from the Torrey and Teasdale area who were also in the fire evacuation zone, Mr. Durfey is charged with setting 13 fires in multiple locations. Six fires went out on their own, while seven continued to burn an area of 2,075 acres.

The fire took approximately two weeks to contain, at a cost of $3.2 million, with more than 400 personnel involved in containing the blaze.

There was no loss of life and no structures were burned but the fires came within 150

yards of several homes, and six homes had to be evacuated.

Following an investigation by the US Forest Service and the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office, Wayne County Attorney Mark McIff filed the felony arson charge.

The specific charge against Mr. Durfey is: “COUNT I: ARSON, a Third Degree Felony, in violation of UCA § 76-6-102(1)(b), as follows: That on or about June 3, 2012, the defendant, Lance Allen Durfey, did unlawfully and intentionally damage the property of another person by means of fire or explosives. It is further alleged that the fire endangered human life.”

Judge Wallace A. Lee presided over the proceedings, and has set a sentencing date in the case for September 24, which will take place at the Loa Courthouse. According to Attorney McIff, an officer from the Adult Probation Department will conduct a back-

ground study on Mr. Durfey and issue a report and recommendation to the court regarding his sentence, which the judge will consider to make his determination. The sentence for the third degree felony arson charge can be anywhere from zero to five years with a maximum financial penalty of $9,500.

As to why Mr. Durfey set the fires, witnesses attending the courroom hearing stated that Mr. Durfey is said to have had an argument at home, got on his horse to ride up the mountain, and over the course of his ride became disturbed over the presence of extensive downfall and decided to set the blazes.

Forest Service officials were immediately suspicious about the fires because there had been no lightning strikes in the area.

No federal charges have been filed in the arson case.

Escalante Mercantile and Natural Grocery owner Marcie Hoffman has renovated an historic pioneer home into a new natural foods store.

New Grocery Spices Up Escalante’s Main St.

Escalante’s new food store, the Escalante Mercantile and Natural Grocery, owned and operated by Marcie Hoffman, had been a project underway for some time prior to its grand opening on June 23.

The Main Street building was tranformed over the course of two years as first the siding came off and painstaking brickwork and other major renovations were completed on the historic pioneer building.

The Escalante Mercantile offers natural groceries ranging from gourmet cheeses to snack foods and will soon expand into home goods like kitchenware and gardening supplies.

“Customers say they love the vintage look of the building and how it’s been renovated to keep its historic quality and small town feel,” says Hoffman.

Her favorite part about having the store is the contact

and interaction with her neighbors and the community. “People have been so receptive. It’s been really satisfying. And I’ve found out that a lot of people have lived in this house!” she says.

Hoffman says that there’s a lot of accesss to information about food today and people want to feel better physically through what they eat. “We want to provide products that meet people’s desires to have access to whole foods without a lot a processing,” she says.

“Opening a business today is about meeting the needs of the community,” says Hoffman. “That’s why our tagline is:‘We’re here for you.’”

Escalante volunteers Laura Lantz and Allysia Angus helped prepare 20 cats and paperwork for the Trap-Neuter-Return spay/neuter program last Wednesday.

Volunteers Spearhead “Community Cat” Roundup

By MARY JANE HENRY ESCALANTE - As everyone knows, herding cats isn’t easy. But with some dedicated volunteer help more than 80 “community cats” have been rounded up, spayed or neutered and then returned to their pick-up locations through a program offered by Best Friends Animal Society.

The Four Directions Community Cat Program is a TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) program that offers free spay/ neuter services to communities to control neighborhood cat populations. “Wild,” and free-roaming cats are humanely trapped, spayed or neutered, provided vaccinations for rabies and distemper, and eartipped to indicate that they’ve been “fixed.” Once recovered from surgery, cats are returned to their home territory.

The TNR program targets wild and feral cats for trapping and volunteers work to avoid trapping of household pets.

In Escalante, volunteers began rounding up cats for the TNR program in late May. “I was aware that there were people with feral populations getting out of control, and when I found out about Best Friends’ catch and release program, I kind of jumped on it,” says Cindy Calbaum, who helps coordinate trapping and staging for transport to Best Friends in Kanab.

So far this summer, seven volunteers, working in eight or nine locations, have processed 82 cats through the program.

Best Friends sends a van to pick up and return the animals, and will take up to 20 cats per batch.

During a cat roundup, live traps are placed in the evenings and checked hourly until dark.

If the “quota” of 20 cats isn’t captured by dark, empty traps are left overnight and then rechecked the following morning at 5:00 a.m., at which time the transport van leaves for Kanab.

Cats generally are returned by the afternoon of the following day to their trapping location.

In addition to trapping, community members often drop off cats to get fixed when they know a transport is taking place. When extra space is available, Best Friends currently allows some room for tame pets in a TNR batch. Donations for sending a household pet to get fixed are encouraged, but not required.

Best Friends’ TNR program covers all of southern Utah and northern Arizona, from Richfield down to Fredonia and Page.

“I really like to work in the communities that have no veterinarian nearby and feel our services help these areas greatly,” says Janice Dankert, who coordinates Best Friends’ TNR program.

In 2011, the TNR program spayed and neutered 2,022 cats. Last year in Garfield County collections took place in Bryce, Escalante, Tropic, Hatch, Panguitch, and Antimony. This year, the TNR

program has completed 1,089 surgeries, 118 of those were from Garfield County.

“It’s pretty generous of Best Friends to be doing this,” says Calbaum. “It’s a hardship to get animals fixed because it’s so far to travel. Between this and the Big Fix [mobile spay and neuter clinic] they’re a big help to the community.”

Best Friends is to open to new communities starting TNR programs, and currently is seeking to begin a program to cover the Bryce Valley area, including the communities of Henrieville and Cannonviille.

“I know there are a lot of cats there, and while I have the manpower to do the transporting, I don’t have it to do the trapping that far away as well,” says Dankert.

Tropic resident Sarah Haas has volunteered to start a Bryce Valley TNR program but is looking for additional support. If you are in the Bryce Valley area and would like to volunteer or if you have a cat to get fixed, you can call Sarah at 435-690-9558.

In Escalante, two more collection dates are proposed for August. If you know of free-roaming cats that might be eligible, contact Allysia Angus at 616-4480, or Cindy Calbaum at 826-4452.

If you would like to start up or volunteer for a Best Friends’ TNR program in your area, contact Janice Dankert at 435-644-4469 or janiced@ bestfriends.org.

What Healthcare Reform Means to You

By JASON ALDERMAN Much was made of the size and complexity of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act when President Obama signed it into law in 2010. But now that the Supreme Court has upheld much of the act’s constitutionality, it’s a good time to review key provisions that have already gone live and to plot out what’s expected to happen in the next two years.

Changes already in place include: • Children under 19 cannot be denied coverage because of preexisting conditions.

• Adult children may remain on parents’ medical plan until they turn 26.

• Lifetime insurance maximum payouts were eliminated. In addition, annual coverage limits are being phased out. Effective September 23, 2012, the annual limit increases to $2 million.

• All new plans now must provide certain preventive services for free, such as mammograms, immunizations and colonoscopies.

• People who’ve been refused insurance because of preexisting conditions may now be eligible for coverage through a “high-risk pool” program. Go to https://www.pcip. gov/ for information and to apply online.

• Medicare Part D participants who reach the infamous doughnut hole now receive a 50 percent discount on brand-name prescription drugs – 14 percent on generics. (These discounts will gradually increase until 2020 when the doughnut hole will disappear.)

Many core features of the Affordable Care Act won’t take full effect until 2014 and details are still being finalized, but here are highlights of what’s expected to happen between now and then: • By August 1, 2012, insurance companies that didn’t spend at least 85 percent of 2011 premium dollars for large group plans (over 50 employees) on medical care must refund the difference, through refund checks or discounted future premiums (80 percent for individual or small group plans).

• By October 1, 2012, plans must begin adopting rules for the secure electronic exchange of health information – this will reduce paperwork, costs and medical errors.

• By January 1, 2013, new federal funding will be in place to state Medicaid programs that choose to cover preventive services to patients at little or no cost.

• By October 1, 2013, states will receive two additional years of funding to continue coverage for children not eligible for Medicaid.

• Effective January 1, 2014, most key provisions will be in place. For example: • Individuals and those whose employers don’t offer health insurance will be able to buy it directly from state-based Affordable Insurance Exchanges, which will offer a choice of health plans that meet certain benefits and cost standards.

• Most who can afford basic health coverage will be required to obtain it or pay a fee to offset the costs of caring for uninsured Americans.

• Americans earning less than 133 percent of the poverty level will be eligible to enroll in Medicaid.

• Refundable tax credits will be available to those earning between 100 and 400 percent of the poverty level to help pay for affordable insurance. They also may qualify for reduced copayments, coinsurance and deductibles.

• Annual coverage dollar amount limits will be prohibited.

• Adults will no longer be refused coverage due to preexisting conditions.

• Insurance companies will no longer be able to charge higher rates to individuals and small groups due to gender or health status.

These are only a few of the many healthcare changes we’ll see as a result of the Affordable Care Act. To learn more, please visit www.HealthCare.gov.

West Nile Virus Detected in Washington County Mosquitoes ST. GEORGE – The Southwest Utah Public Health Department (SWUPHD) and the Southwest Mosquito Abatement & Control District are reporting the presence of West Nile Virus in mosquitoes in Washington County. Positive test results were obtained from mosquitoes trapped recently in the area.

“This is the first positive West Nile Virus result in Utah this year,” says Lisa Starr, RN, SWUPHD Surveillance Nurse. “That’s not unusual due to our warmer climate and longer mosquito season. We want to remind people to take action to prevent contact with mosquitoes, which is the main source for human infection from this illness. Fortunately, cases of human infection in our district have been minimal in recent years. The last human case of West Nile Virus was in Kane County in 2010, and we also had a few cases in 2005.”

Most people who are infected will not experience any illness. 20% of people who become infected with West Nile Virus will experience symptoms including sudden fever, fatigue, aches and pains, headache, and rash. “About 1% of those infected will develop serious illness,” says Lisa Starr. “You should get medical attention if there is sudden onset of fever and/or you develop neck stiffness, disorientation, or paralysis.”

Garfield County TARs Take First Place at Washington, DC chieftan photo/mike sweeney

Panguitch’s Noelle Perkins was selected queen in the National Little Britches Rodeo Association finals held in Pueblo, Colorado.

Little Britches Selects Utah Girl for Crown

By GIANNA LISAC, THE PUEBLO CHIEFTAIN PUEBLO, COLO. - A Utah cowgirl on Tuesday was selected queen of 2013 National Little Britches Rodeo Association being held this week at the Colorado State Fairgrounds.

Noelle Perkins, 18, of Panguitch, Utah, will reign for a year.

“This is such an honor to be the face of the organization, and to hopefully inspire young girls to do the same,” she said of her selection.

Perkins has been a member of Little Britches for the past five years.

Her selection capped a year’s worth of hard work. The NLBRA named its 2013 royalty court at Tuesday’s rodeo in the Colorado State Fair’s Grandstand Arena.

Eight contestants, ranging in age from 8 to 18 years old and decked out in formal Western wear, competed.

Kellie Stockton of Beulah was named the first runner-up.

In addition to crowning a queen, special awards were given in the categories of horsemanship, speech, Miss Congeniality, personality/appearance and modeling.

“Noelle truly represents what an all-around queen should be,” Kendra Sagers, coordinator of the royalty pageant, said.

“She is perfect for representing this organization, which is family oriented.”

The competition began this past weekend when the girls competed in the horsemanship portion and Perkins said the work has been demanding. “This has been very physically trying on the body, everything from your head to your feet must be perfect, not only in modeling, but on the horse as well,” she said. “The whole process has been overwhelming and nervewracking, but it has paid off.” In her reigning year ahead, Perkins has the opportunity to travel across the U.S. to promote Little Britches and will serve as the spokeswoman of the organization.

She plans to attend Dixie State College of Utah, where she will major in communications and accounting.

“College will be harder, but I will balance that and rodeo just as I always have,” she said. The NLBRA also selected Princess Shelbi Rice of Arkansas and Cougar Leseur of Alamosa was first runner-up.

Charli Sanderson of Enoch, Utah, was named Little Wrangler Princess.

During the summer, capital improvements to the buildings and school grounds occur. This summer, the District has completed the new heating and cooling system at Panguitch High School and removed the 1950’s boiler that was previously providing heat to the building. All parking lots in Panguitch, Tropic and Escalante will be resurfaced and painted to help increase the life expectancy of the asphalt. All gym floors throughout the District are re-finished. Installation of new carpet in classrooms, hallways and the auditorium in Panguitch Elementary, Panguitch Middle, and Panguitch High will occur before the first day of school. The cost to replace the old dilapidated carpet will be approximately $37,000. These carpets are in the worst condition in the District. New equipment was purchased to help facilitate the electronic broadcasting of classes between high schools in the District; the cost for was approximately $17,000. UEN has matched the funding that the District has put into this project providing two additional EDNET units at no additional cost.

An Interview with a Career

By Cynthia Kimball Soldier I had an opportunity to interview my almost 20 year friend, Rodolfo “Rudy” Antonio Teodosio. I met Rudy when we both lived on Okinawa, Japan. Rudy served in the United States Army for 27+ years (July 1968 - January 1996) and has since retired as a Special Forces Sergeant Major (SGM). He also was instrumental in teaching me the Gospel of Jesus Christ and later baptized me into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the Okinawan Serviceman’s Branch.

KIMBALL: Rudy, what made you enlist?

TEODOSIO: I come from a very patriotic family. Both my mother and father served in World War II in the Pacific. I come from a generation of war babies. It was more of a duty for me to enlist than anything.

KIMBALL: What was the best part about serving in the military?

TEODOSIO: I was able to serve with the most elite Army groups (i.e., Airborne, Rangers and Special Forces). Served with some of the best men I’ve served with in my life. Many came from all walks of life.

Kind of got educated by that.

KIMBALL: What did you learn about yourself?

TEODOSIO: I learned to conquer fear.

KIMBALL: Best memory you have about serving?

TEODOSIO: Working with the men I worked with where we were almost like brothers of different mothers.

We would go out and sacrifice ourselves for each other without question. The type of group that would take there shirt off for anybody (especially for each other).

KIMBALL: What was it like being a Latter-day Saint in the military?

TEODOSIO: Well, I wasn’t always a Latter-day Saint. A fellow solider introduced me to the gospel. And then I was interested in learning about the church and investigated it. I also read President Spencer W. Kimball’s book The Miracle of Forgiveness. It

was very blunt; no gray area.

After reading the first couple pages, though, I wanted to throw it away, but I continued to read because I wanted to change. At the end of the book there was a promise.

KIMBALL: What was that?

TEODOSIO: That my sins would be forgotten. That I would not even have any memories of them. There was so much turmoil in my life and I wanted to turn a new leaf. A few years later, after investigating the church, I was baptized.

KIMBALL: Best decision you ever made?

TEODOSIO: Yes, even though it was a very traumatic experience. I have witnessed things I never thought possible.

I honestly knew there was a God, but I didn’t know if he was paying attention to me, but now I do. I knew he answered prayers; especially when they came from the heart. He answered mine in that I would be forgiven, that I would be clean once again and that I’d have a chance to go to the Celestial Kingdom.

KIMBALL: How were you treated in the military once you became a member?

TEODOSIO: There were really mixed feelings. Those I thought were so called close friends of mine weren’t really that. They actually kind of shunned me. But I also found out who my true friends were and they were those who weren’t judgmental towards me. I even had one friend who would pull things away from me and say, “Hey Rudy, Rudy that has liquor in it!” as he’d push the drink away from me. And I’d say, “Oh, thanks, man.” He would guard, when I was around, for things like that.

He’s still my best friend outside the church today.

KIMBALL: Why did you decide to become a leader?

TEODOSIO: I had an experience in my first tour in Vietnam. There was a lot of noise going on, a lot of yelling, a lot of explosions. And The Star Spangled Banner was not playing and John Wayne wasn’t in

Olympic Trivia To bring the Olympic spirit to developing nations in the late 1990s, the Olympic Committee allowed a small number of “wild card” athletes to join the Games. But because they didn’t have to go through any qualifying rounds to compete, not all of the contenders arrived prepared.

One such athlete was a swimmer from Equatorial Guinea named Eric Moussambani.

When Moussambani arrived at the 2000 Sydney Games, he’d only been training for the 100-meter freestyle for about eight months. He’d also never been in an Olympic-size pool and had never raced more than 50 meters.

Regardless, he was determined to represent his country.

The three wild-card qualifiers were given their own heat, and Moussambani took to the blocks next to swimmers from Niger and Tajikistan. When the official called the swimmers to their marks, both of Moussambani’s competitors were disqualified for false starts.

Left to swim the heat by himself, Eric dove in and dog paddled, gasping for air and flailing his arms and legs. Halfway through the race, the situation looked so dire that commentators worried he was drowning.

When Moussambani eventually stalled out 10 meters from the end of the race, the crowd rallied behind him as he inched toward the finish. As he finally pulled himself from the water, the applause thundered. His final time was 1:52.72 —more than twice that of swimmers in the previous heat.

But Moussambani, dubbed “Eric the Eel,” couldn’t have been happier. Ecstatic to have finished his first 100-meter race, he told reporters, “I’m going to jump and dance all night long in celebration of my personal triumph.”

front of us. All this stuff that we grew up with wasn’t there that we thought combat would be like. It was scary. But I had a leader who kicked me in the butt and told us to move out…it was night….people were screaming and yelling… the sights, tastes, smells, and sounds came all at one time especially for me, that being my first-time combat experience… we got hit and were going in perimeter in a defense position…everything was crazy.

If he (our leader) wasn’t there, there would have been a lot of casualties. I wanted to be like him. I always wanted to be that person to make that point to everyone else where you instill confidence and control fears when in a stressful situation like that. He was a very seasoned leader who understood what was going on. He was afraid as everyone else, but was in control and he knew he had a job to do to show us which way to go. He understood what was going on and he took control of it.

KIMBALL: If someone was doubtful about serving what would you tell them?

TEODOSIO: The military, like any type of profession, could be for you or not.

Not everybody can be a solider; not everyone can be a chemical engineer. I would encourage, though, young people to go in especially those that don’t have any direction. You either have a like or dislike, but you’re in there to do a job. By the end of your tour, though, you may decide to become a career solider or get out.

KIMBALL: What does patriotic mean to you now?

TEODOSIO: The 1%-5%.

That 1-5% that represents us in the field that defends the land.

That wears the uniform. That defends our freedoms. They’re a special group. That 1-5% of the population.

KIMBALL: What’s it like getting together with buddies at reunions?

TEODOSIO: We can identify ourselves with each other. We shared the same dirt, sweat, remember the same fears we had, experienced the same smells and taste and the times we spent at war or in the rear areas where we would celebrate. It is something that always bonds us even though we’re getting older. It’s something that no one can understand except another combat solider. We look at each other and we would sacrifice ourselves then and now. We can actually depend on one another even many years after being out. That’s very rare. You really don’t find that in the corporate world.

KIMBALL: Any last words?

TEODOSIO: Looking back, I would do things a little differently. I would have written things down in a journal and have taken more pictures so I’d have a greater memory.

And for those who were lost I could then visit their families (even though I have done that a couple of times). I would have taken more detail of those around me. Then I would have had something there where I could place a time for those who crossed my path.

Penguins

Coffee Spill

The chef of an upscale restaurant collided with a waiter one day and spilled coffee all over the computer. The liquid poured into the processing unit and resulted in some dramatic crackling and popping sounds.

After sopping up the mess, everyone gathered around the terminal as the computer was turned back on again.

“Please let it work,” pleaded the guilt-ridden waiter.

A waitress replied, “Should be faster than ever.

That was a double espresso.”

Firehouse Training Session At a training session in the fire station, the team was assembled around the kitchen table.

The training officer was discussing the behavior of fire: “You pull up to a house and notice puffs of smoke coming from the eaves, blackened out windows and little or no visible flame. What does this tell you?” he asked.

Expecting to hear that the house is in a possible back draft situation, a condition very dangerous to fire fighters, he instead heard from one quick wit: “You got the right place.”

Reported in Audubon Society Magazine: A Mexican newspaper reports that bored Royal Air Force pilots stationed on the Falkland Islands have devised what they consider a marvelous new game.

Noting that the local penguins are fascinated by airplanes, the pilots search out a beach where the birds are gathered and fly slowly along it at the water’s edge. Perhaps ten thousand penguins turn their heads in unison watching the planes go by, and when the pilots turn around and fly back, the birds turn their heads in the opposite direction, like spectators at a slow-motion tennis match.

Then, the paper reports, “The pilots fly out to sea and turn directly to the penguin colony and overfly it.

Heads go up, up, up, and ten thousand penguins fall over gently onto their backs.

Give a Man a Fish

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.

Teach a man to fish and he will go out and buy expensive fishing equipment, stupidlooking clothes, a sports utility vehicle, travel 1000 miles to the “hottest” fishing spot and stand waist-deep in cold water so he can try to outsmart a fish.

Average cost per fish: $395.68

ESCALANTE NEWS

WEDDINGS Frandsen - Johnson

Marlene Haws Ph: 826-4859 • marleneh@color-country.net Yeah! I know, there was no news last week. At least not in the paper! But I had a very good excuse. The celebration sneaked up on me and besides that I had 42 members of my family here for a family reunion and I thought that was more important! Robert’s family came from Fruita, Colorado: Justin and Michelle Haws and son and Chad and Terrilee Davis and 2 children.

Brent and Patrice Cottam’s family was all here: Shondelle Gillins and 4 little boys and Chad and Jordon Cottam all of Cedar City; Nate and Elisa Lyman and 2 children, Kanab; and Ryan and Tari Cottam and 3 children, Escalante. Jon and Jillyn Sorensen and 3 children, Salina; Brandon and Sarina Haws and 4 children, St. George; Marian and Rick Haws, Escalante; Randie and son Klyn Haws, Hurricane (Kory Haws, another son, and Klyn were here for an overnight stay with Rick the week before, then Kory had to return to his Army base in Texas.)

The only ones we didn’t have here were Robert’s son, Kelly, his wife Christina and 4 children and Reggie Gillins.

The EHS Class of ’52 held their 60 yr. reunion with 18 in attendance: Arnold and Deon Alvey, Sherree and Jerry Roundy, Ray and Lois Barney, all of Escalante; Betty Jean (Spencer) Dowdell, Jim and Jolyn Spencer and Dale Reynolds, all of Orem; LaDell and Karen Alvey, Kanab; Blake Dee and Cora Lee Robinson, West Valley City; Kent and Phyllis McInelly, Hurricane; Howard and LaNea Munson (LaNea also visited with her class of ’52), Cedar City. They got a second place prize in the parade in the “Funniest” category.

The class of ’53 had their reunion. This included: Carrie Griffin, Don Coleman, Dan Coleman, all of Escalante; Alvin and Joan Cowles, Donna Rae Barker, Larry and Carol Coombs, all of Monroe; Phyllis Twitchell (I’m sorry I didn’t catch her husband’s name), Roma and Ken Clark, Arta Beth Pollock, Elna Creek, Alice Heaps Day, all of the Salt Lake area; Chan McInelly, Farmington; Leda Mae Foster, from “Foster’s” between the Pines and Ruby’s Inn; Stanley Lay, Washington State; LaNea Munson, Cedar City, and Gerald Haycock, Sandy. Nineteen in all.

The class of ’56 had a nice little group here also: Geraldine and Lane Liston, Doug Haycock (Barbara was on the mountain with her family), Jaleen and Dwight Vance, Myrna (McInelly) and Scott Watts, Lillian Coleman (Don went to his own reunion), Lois and Danny Spencer, Eu-

nice Allen Groves and Dale and Carol Christensen Wride.

(Carol is the daughter of our former Seminary teacher, Linford Christensen and wife Ester. This is the first time she has been back since they moved away years ago.)

The classes of ‘81 and ‘82 didn’t actually have a class reunion but they all joined in and built a float and rode on it.

Members included: Shannon Steed, Gaden Griffin, Shane Coleman, (and the girls were best remembered, by some, by their maiden names!) Cynthia Wilson, Ellen Acrey, Jillyn Haws, Shauna Sidwell, Sheila Beebe and, although she was a little older, Nancy Beebe rode with them also. They won a 2nd prize in the most original category.

The prize winners in the parade were: Sweepstakes: Escalante City; Most original: 1st place Kazan Clinic; 2nd place Class of ’82; Funniest: 1st place Griffin Shootout; 2nd place Class of ’52; Family Floats: 1st place The Vergean Porter Family; 2nd place The Vernon Spencer Family; Best Use Of The Theme (The Town That Built Us) Escalante First Ward Relief Society.

DeLane Griffin was the Grand Marshall in the parade this year and Kathy Griffin did the honors, for Betty Alvey, on the piano in the early morning bandwagon serenade.

All in all the celebration was very successful. From the cannons and the band wagon early in the morning to the fireworks at night (Thanks to the beautiful rain!).

Ron and Linda Mecham had a bunch at the Mecham home. Sons: Brett and Bridgette, Darren and Missy, and Randy; daughters: Stephanie and Chris Coplin, Michelle and Delbert Leavitt, Cherise and Malinda and their families and Heather , most of them from Las Vegas. Three sons were not able to be here: Kim, Russell and Doug. Some of the kids were wanting to go back to Devil’s Rock Garden again before they left. So much so they were willing to walk!!!

Clyde and Terrie Christensen were here for a day or two, exchanging grandchildren and checking on their parents, Norm and Ardis Christensen and Phyllis and Freland Alvey. Freland hadn’t been feeling too well but is doing better since making another trip to the clinic and getting a few more antibiotics.

Deon and Arnold Alvey had all three of their daughters and families here. Denise and Andy Dube and Raylene and Dave Whitefield and family all from Las Vegas; and Janeen Duncan and two little Snedegar granddaughters from Loa. Kent and Mary Anne Ly-

man dropped by our house while they were in town visiting Kent’s sister Sandra Miller and Howard.

Arcola and Pratt Gates and daughter Margo Smith had a lot of family here between them. Carol and Russell Sorenson and daughter Ciara and Preston Mitchell, St. George; Darren Gates’ son Justin; Margo’s family: Riley Elena and 3 children, Oregon; Heather and Dallas Larsen and 4 children, Jared and Jenifer Smith and 2 children; and Pratt’s sister Viola and Keith Shanley brought their whole family.

Florence Alvey had a lot of family members at her house. Luke and Alissa Pruitt and 4 children from Fruita, Colorado; Rick Pruitt, Richfield; Derek and Oscar Pruitt, Cedar City; Neuman and Lucinda Duncan, children Caleb and Courtnie, Cedar City; Heidi Gilmore and 5 children, Washington, Utah; Brittnie Larsen and 3 daughters, Cedar City; Michael and Elsa Duncan and son, Victor, from West Jordan and David and Emily Duncan and 2 children, St. George. Like a lot of us they had a small tent city on the lawn, and they all had fun!

Sharon Dale and Eve Marsh have had their family here off and on for the past two weeks.

Duane and Sharon Dutton attended a family reunion with Duane’s relatives in the Tropic area recently.

I met Scott and Cindy Steed in Subway on Saturday and they said they were on their way to a Steed family reunion in Tropic. So that probably means that Scott’s mother, Mary, and his brothers and families went too.

Some of the people I noticed at the program were: Cheryl and Hubert Munson, St. George, Vern and Kathy McInelly, Rick and Karen Ballard, Grena and Mike Searle, Kenneth Shurtz and family, LaNell Cottam and 4 grandchildren, Thais and Gene Griffin’s kids, Gary, Melanie, Stephanie and their families, The Liston girls, Lois and Lana, and Cris Droubay, Terry Dowdle and her mom, Mildred Gates (she was probably the oldest school teacher there.

Too bad she wasn’t honored.)

Those who were honored were all the Escalante Veterans, former teachers, Louise Liston and Margie Spencer, former custodian, Vergean Porter and Bus driver, Vard Coombs.

The Griffin girls: Ann, Marlene, Marilee and Joy, were the speakers in the Escalante first Ward on Sunday, July 22.

Speakers in the Second Ward were Wyatt Lindsay, who will be leaving for a mis-

sion soon. He will be going to The Dominican Republic, Santa Domingo. His parents are Dan’l and Michelle Lindsay. Greg and Sabrina Hughes were the other speakers and they also sang a beautiful song.

Gail and Lora Engberg Poulson were here from Alaska visiting with Ted and Laura Engberg and family.

Bob Brown was taken to the hospital, by ambulance, last week. We hope he is feeling better by now. Bob and Barbara live in McKay Bailey’s old (or other) house and word got around that McKay had been taken to the hospital.

Not so, it was Bob. A year ago, on the Friday before the celebration, Connie Jepsen, Darlene Woolsey, Lillian Lyman, Marlene Haws and Vada Martin, all from the class of ’49, met to have lunch together. This year, on the same day, they met again only this time Darlene was not in attendance. It was the day of her funeral. We never know from one year to the next what will take place, so we need to take advantage of every opportunity we have of getting together. We will miss you, Darlene.

Last Saturday we had a gully washer. It rained HARD. When it was all over we had big ponds of water all over town! The storm must have damaged the intake to our water supply because the headhouse was low all day Sunday.

Hopefully that is all fixed now.

There was other water damage around town, our senior citizen center was flooded…again and there was probably other damage of which I am not aware. It was good that it held off for a week and didn’t ruin the 24th of July celebration.

SUMMER READING

Dream Big - READ Summer Reading Program

Things that go Bump in the Night July 10th was our last summer reading program. “Things that go BUMP in the night” was our theme and we were please to have a few nocturnal creatures show up. We started off by reading some fun books and then played the song “Things to go BUMP” as a vampire, mummy and zombie came out from behind the stage! The kids dispersed into three groups... The first group learned from a great book more about bats and did a bat craft. The second group had a book read about the inventor of bubble gum and after had a bubble gum blowing contest! The third group learned about how to keep active, to keep our bodies healthy. We’d like to thank our volunteers, Colleen Chappell, Audree Williams and Dede Hyde from the Central Utah Public Health Department. We want to thank everyone that helped bring treats and my awesome volunteers; Elva Jackson, Charlotte Williams, Ellen Anderson, Haley Peyten, Lauren Jackson, Kiera Taylor, Megan Sorenson, and Bethany Lamb!

Parents, keep your children reading. We will be giving prizes for reading for a few more weeks! The girl and boy that read the most, we will be creating a READ poster with them in it!

So, the race is on… who will read the most? We want to thank some awesome businesses for so generously giving coupons prizes; Royals, Sunglow, Brian Farm, Blackburn Propane and Chuck Wagon. You’re the best!

OBITUARIES

Shirley Henrie

PANGUITCH - Our beloved mother, Shirley Tebbs Henrie, returned to her Father in Heaven early on the morning of July 24, 2012 at the age of 92, in Pangutich. Shirley was born on May 7, 1920 in Panguitch, to Earl Crosby Tebbs and Eva Malinda Proctor. Shirley married J. Carvel Henrie on February 23, 1938 in Panguitch.

BRYCE VALLEY AREA NEWS

by Vicki D. Syrett 679-8687 or vickidiane36@hotmail.com It is raining. Wonderful big wet drops of rain are falling. At least for a few minutes.

But it is also cold. Brrrr. We sure are happy about the moisture as it will keep our lawns, flowers and gardens looking and smelling wonderful. It will also fill up our reservoirs to the top if it rains enough.

Iris Burr reports that she and her husband, Morris, have had a house full of people visiting. They have really enjoyed seeing their grandkids and of course the parents as well. They have had a good time visiting and catching up with each other. Coming from Queens Creek Arizona was Richard and Anne Burr. David Burr of Roy, Josh, Shailee, and Easton Burr of Ogden and Jessica Burr of Cedar City have also been here. Trevor and Natalie (Burr) Coleman of Farmington New Mexico brought their four kids, Jessen, Tate, Javen and Nixin along to visit. Cory Burr of Cannonville also joined in on the fun times. It is always so pleasant to have family come visit.

Today in Tropic it was the Homecoming of Elder Cache Mortensen who has been in the Florida Orlando Mission.

He gave a great talk along with youth speakers Elisabeth Ahlstrom and Codi Mangum (a Cousin). The Activity Day Girls led by Jessica Stewart sang “I Feel My Savior’s Love” and they sounded wonderful.

Cache’s mom, Crystal has been so excited for him to finally get home. Just like all moms of Missionaries.

Both of Cache’s parents are Shawn and Crystal Mortensen of Tropic. Grandparents in Tropic are Pete and Keela Mangum.

Bruce Wall of Cannonville has been advanced to a

High Priest. Congratulations Bruce.

There were a lot of visitors in church today who came to listen to Cache and it was so good to see so many old friends. Kay and Maureen Mangum came down from Mapleton. Charles and Darlene Brinkerhoff of Cedar City were in attendance today.

They are the parents of Tracy Johnson and they are looking forward to their grandson, Hayden who will be going on his mission in a couple of weeks to Canada. Lots of friends and family of Cache were also in the congregation to support him.

Today the Relief Society Presidency in the Tropic Ward was changed. Released with a huge vote of thanks was President Crystal Mortensen, 1st Counselor Gwen Brinkerhoff, 2nd Counselor Kathy Shakespeare, Secretary Kimberly Stewart, and Compassionate Service Leader Lynette Orton. They have all done a wonderful job and we thank them. Taking the reins of the Relief Society Presidency are President Ellen Clarke, 1st Counselor Barbie Le Fevre, 2nd Counselor Kathy Shakespeare, and Secretary Marie Barton. We welcome you all and wish you the best of luck in your new calling.

The Young Women had their camp last week and from the reports we had today from Codi and Elisabeth it was a huge success. The ladies in charge always do such a great job and make it a memorable time for the girls of the Escalante Stake. We thank all of you for your very hard work and the girls for doing such a great job at camp.

Pace and Amanda Clarke were in attendance today along.

The Cannonville Ward House is in the process of being remodeled so for the next nine months the Cannonville folks will attend church in Henrieville at 12:30 and the Henrieville folks will start at 9:00 A.M. Former Cannonvilleites, Chester and Arlene Elmer were the speakers today and in Henrieville the Patriarch Reed Munson was the speaker.

Alma and Anita Fletcher have a new grandson in Mesa, Arizona. Anita has been down for the past two weeks helping out with the new little cutie and Alma says he doesn’t know just when she will be home because she is loving the new little member of the family too much. Born to John and Stephanie Scott is an adorable little boy, Channing. We congratulate the couple on the newest member of their family. He was welcomed home by his sibiling and of course grandma Anita.

Gayle Moore had to go to the hospital today to get stitches in her finger after she had a run in with a knife while fixing dinner. Ouch. Glad it wasn’t worse Gayle.

Come on everyone, lets hear from you so we can report your news. You can email me or call and I will be glad you print your news. We like hearing from everyone, I mean EVERYONE. Have a great week and try to stay dry.

FYI PANGUITCH

Boulder Mountain Realty, Inc.

By: Mack Oetting ~ E-mail: mackoetting @gmail.com Isn’t this rain great, I hope the monsoons keep up through August ? August is usually the month for monsoons and with the drought we are suffering in, it would be a blessing.

One benefit of the rain, all but two of the wild fires we had in the state are out and only one up by Dugway is of any size.

The wildfires are playing a role in climate change. Forest fires release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere; a healthy forest absorbs carbon dioxide and creates the O2 levels. One of the ads on TV is by Enterprise Auto Rental Company; they are going to plant one million trees a year, for the next 50 years. I notice that the Smokey Bear fire danger sign in the Park has been reduced to a moderate.

Utah’s drought is bad, but it is really bad in our bread basket states. Much of our corn crops have been wipe out, along with much of the wheat farms. The LDS Church has prompted its members to have a year’s food storage, for as long as I can remember. We have many non LDS members in Utah who might want to consider having a food storage plan; this might be the year that it will be needed. With feed in short supply, many cattle ranchers will be force to sell off their cattle. Corn is used for all kinds of things, ethanol, and feed for cattle and for public consumption. You will see a big raise in food prices come fall. When Joe’s Market has his case lot sale, it would be a good way to stock up; case lot foods are usually about half price. Costco sells food by the case if you are a member buy a few extra cases, they could come in handy.

One of my favorite gripes, is oil, the barrel price is hovering in the $80.00 level, down from $107 a few months ago.

Poor old EXON only made 71/2 billion dollars profit this last quarter, down from 10 billion last quarter. Gas every where but Garfield County is down in the $3.40 level, even Kanab is down and the SLC area is in the $3.20 level. A way to make some big bucks, (I think) is to speculate in oil, did you know that you can buy a 1,000 barrels of oil at say $80.00 a barrel and never have to take delivery on it, just hold on it till the price goes up and then sell them off. However the time I made that investment the price would go down even further!!! There must be more to that kind of investing or we all would be rich!

The Olympics are on, wasn’t opening ceremonies great? Did you like seeing the Queen jumping out of a plane, pretty cool! I love the Olympics, sports on at least 4 channels at once, a couch potato’s dream. I am always amazed at how many different sports there are. A woman from the USA (Kim Roade) became the first person to medal in 5 different Olympics, she is a skeet shooter and she hit 99 out 100 targets, to win the Gold. There is an air gun category that was won by someone from China. I can’t wait for the track events, oh! too be able to run that fast.

The 24th Celebration was a lot of fun, because of the holiday coming on Tuesday, many of the town folks celebrated their family reunions over the weekend, and the crowds were down a little. The Scout breakfast was well attended and the Scouts had to run to Joes for more food. This was the first Parade that I got to see in along time, I usually drive my Model A pickup and I didn’t know

what I was missing. We had five great floats that were in line with the theme of the parade. How about all of those cheer leaders and the prospective cheer leaders, it looked like every girl in town was there.

Vaughn Heaton final broke down and spent the bucks for a Model A,that he has wanted for years. It was a great parade that was finished off with the fire dept. wetting down the kids in town, and they loved it.

The DUP Historical program took place at the new, old County Court House Building.

Those in attendance were giving a treat by having the Court House opened up to them.

The 24th barbecue was hosted by the Panguitch Lions Club at the pavilion in the park. The Lions fed over 200 of the town folks at the barbecue, many thanks to all of those that helped out on this fun afternoon. The weather started looking really ugly towards the end and it really blew, but the rain missed us to the east.

Hopefully the town enjoyed the food and got in some good visiting and talking about the old days.

The 24th concluded with the Fire Fighters doing fireworks, Chief Dodds and his mighty men put on quit a show.

How do they do circles like that, even two circles at times?

I can figure out how the other ones work, just not the circles.

What a great way to end the 24th, thank you Chief, I know it’s a lot of work.

It seems like every little kid in town (they will always be little kids to us old folks) are getting married. Bobbie Burningham, Sky Marshall, Brittney Nay, Anne Frandsen, Brady Owens and Trevor Peterson are all tying the knot. At one of the reception while talking to Janice Hatch, I noticed that many of those there were teachers. The teachers can take great pride in the fact that they helped mold these wonderful young people into what they are now, they are going to be world changers.

Up next is the Garfield County Fair and it will be held from August 15th to the 18th.

Get out your crafts, art work, vegetables, flowers, hobbies, animals and talents and get them entered. This is a County wide fair so come on over and join in the fun. There will be a fish grab for the kids, dads back off, and this is as much fun as the Easter Egg Hunt. I imagine there will be a ping pong ball drop, with a lot of prizes. At lunch time will be the Commissioners free lunch, it will be hosted by the Lions Club, who work for tips. There will be a lot of fun games in the afternoon and the talent show.

Hopefully the Fair Building will be cleaned out in time so the talent program can take place there . In the evening will the 8th annual Lions Club Demolition Derby. I hope you saw Logan’s car in the Parade, it’s a fun night. The Lions will have dinner waiting for you, so come hungry.

The last event of the summer is the ATV rally and it is on the last weekend in August.

Have you seen the brochure that is out on this event? There will be 16 different guided trails that you will be able to go on. With 70 riders already signed up this is going to keep growing over the years, our area has the best ATV trails anywhere. A major drawing is for an ATV, it makes you want to go out and get an ATV to take part in the fun.

Summer is fleeting by go

some where while the weather is good. There are 7 National Parks within a 300 mile radius and with the All American Highway 12 just 7 miles from here, you don’t have to go far for the best scenery on earth.

So get out and enjoy the land we live in.

A couple of FYI comments; People are wondering the day’s Art Cooper is giving his City tour. Hope you don’t mind Art but I am putting your telephone number in this article so they can contact you in person before making a trip from out of town, 676-2110.

Error, error!!! It is Dave and Kathy Cooper who are the owners of the KOA. Bonita and Kent Wright are the summer workers. Sorry for the mistake.

We are leaving for Seattle next week, to help our granddaughter Teah move to the University of Washington. Not too sure if there will be a column next week. So keep the Fair and the ATV on your calendar for things to do.
