Wayne County Hantavirus Case a “Close Call”

Are Your Pets’ Vaccinations Up-to-Date?

PANGUITCH - A recent case of rabies in Garfield County has spurred public health officials to urge all pet owners to check their pets’ rabies vaccinations records, and to update rabies vaccinations if necessary.

Rabies is a fatal disease of the nervous system caused by a virus. It usually results from a bite or contact with an animal with rabies. Rabies has been detected in a bat found in Panguitch. Southwest Utah Public Health Department and the City of Panguitch advise all

pet owners to check the vaccination status of their pets. The frequency of rabies vaccination boosters pets need depends on whether a 1-year or 3-year vaccine is administered.

Best Friends Animal Sanctuary has offered to give the rabies vaccination to pets for free if pet owners bring their pets down to Kanab. For more information call 435-435644-2001 extension 4210.

For those who cannot travel to Kanab a vaccine clinic will come to Panguitch in the month of August. The date for

this will be determined and released to the Panguitch City office soon.

A community effort is needed to protect against rabies. By vaccinating your pets against rabies, you protect them, yourself and your family, because your pet will be less likely to bring rabies into your house. If you find a bat do not touch it. For more information on rabies call Southwest Utah Public Health at 435-676-8800 or visit http://health.utah.gov/ epi/fact_sheets/rabies.html

The Nemo’s Gang—ready to serve you from early morning ‘til late at night.

Nights are Brighter with Nemo’s ESCALANTE - Suddenly, Escalante has a “nightlife.”

Thanks to the extended hours kept by Nemo’s, the town’s new “burger joint,” a trip down Main Street at 9:30—or holy heck, even 10pm—no longer means your headlights are the only thing brightening the shadows. Pass

by Nemo’s and the yellow lights are flashing full bore, and chances are you’ll find a small crowd that will include teenagers (of course), but also baby-boomers and even grandmothers taking in a hamburger or a late ice cream.

Nemo’s owners Suzanne Robinson and Joe Catlett say they feel that, “People deserve a place to eat when they want to, and a place with lots of choices.”

To that end, Nemo’s offers “American Fare” that includes burgers, vegetarian wraps, pizza (offering free delivery) and occasional specials including exotic items like alligator. Yes, alligator.

At the other end of the day, they will even serve you breakfast. Nemo’s opens at 7am, and has a variety of items including homemade doughnuts and breakfast sandwiches.

To keep such long business hours requires a small army, and fortunately for Robinson and Catlett, they have one ready-made with a workforce of their own kids, including Bayley, Chaz, Aislynne, Alex, Cole, Cameron, Rayden, and Sage. In addition,

the restaurant employs five local, non-family workers.

Initially opening May 17, Robinson says the reception Nemo’s has received this summer has been gratifying.

“People cheer when you bring out a pizza. One group had been in Coyote Gulch for four days and they carried out our cheese-stuffed, bacon-topped Signature Burger like a trophy. And we like the smiles on kids’ faces when you hand them an ice cream cone.”

Catlett says his favorite part about running Nemo’s is being able to live where they used to vacation, in addition to working with their kids and having the opportunity to show them the value of work and being in business.

Robinson and Catlett intend to keep the restaurant running year-round, and plan to shake up the menu over the winter to help keep the offerings interesting for the locals.

Nemo’s is located at 40 E. Main St. Hours are 7am – 10pm, 7 days a week. Tel. 8264500.

FISH CREEK COVE – Prior to this summer, Wayne County resident Scott Berry didn’t spend much time thinking about Hantavirus.

That changed in early June when Berry’s thirty-three year old son, Dane, contracted Hantavirus while staying at his parents’ home in Fish Creek Cove. For several weeks it was a very scary situation as Dane fought for his life in the intensive care unit at the Salt Lake Regional Medical Center.

Dane is extremely fortunate in that he survived and is now doing well. Hantavirus causes a deadly disease of the lungs called Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS). Because the majority of people who contract HPS die from the disease, the family considers themselves very lucky that Dane survived.

But it’s the nature of how Berry’s son contracted HPS that has him thinking a lot more about it since this summer’s incident. The Berry’s have had a cabin located on Fish Creek Cove—about seven miles or so south of Torrey— for over 30 years. In 2010 they tore down the old cabin and built a new small home in the same location as the old structure. As Berry says, “The structure is brand new and as tight as anything you can find in Wayne County.”

The official literature about Hantavirus largely discusses the risk of getting the disease as a result of cleaning up droppings from deer mice—as one would do in sheds or garages that are not mouse-proof. Deer mice are the only known carrier of the virus, and according to a release this week from the Central Utah Public Health Department, “Activities that can put people at risk are: improperly cleaning up mouse urine, droppings and nests; cleaning a shed or cabin that has been closed for some months; and working in areas

where mice and rats may live (such as barns).” The disease risk comes from breathing air borne rodent urine and droppings that contain Hantavirus.

Dane, however, engaged in none of these activities prior to becoming infected with Hantavirus. Dane lives in Ottawa and was visiting his parents from June 8 through June 18, while on vacation with his wife and their nine month old daughter. (Dane spent some years growing up in Wayne County, and attended Wayne Middle School.) During their visit Dane and his wife slept outside on the deck. The best guess that his father, Scott, can surmise is that deer mice had at some time been running along the deck and had urinated on a foam pad or on a pillow where Dane had been sleeping.

Dane had already left his parents’ house for the Salt Lake area prior to becoming sick. HPS is known to take about two weeks to incubate, and initial symptoms are characterized as a fever greater than 100.5 degrees F and muscle aches and chills. Dane developed flu-like symptoms and eventually had difficulty breathing, and was admitted to the hospital on June 28.

“The surprising thing for us is we’ve spent practically our whole life here recreating outdoors. I’ve traditionally ignored mice as a nuisance, never thinking they are a danger.

Now I think that is too casual an attitude,” says Berry.

Berry says he’d never even seen deer mice near the house during the day, but as an experiment he put out some bucket traps, and caught five deer mice the very first night.

“Turns out they’re all over the place,” he says.

Now, Berry is working to reduce deer mouse populations near the house. For example, he is no longer feeding birds because the fallen bird seed attracts lots of rodents.

But while he is definitely tak-

ing more precautions about rodent exposure than before, he doesn’t think it makes sense to become overly paranoid about Hantavirus risk.

“With so many people sleeping outside it still seems like a pretty rare event,” he says.

Indeed it is. There have been just 587 reported Hantavirus cases in the U.S. between 1993 and 2011, with 25 of those cases in Utah. However in May of this year, two Utahns died from Hantavirus, one in Millard County and one in Utah County, the first fatalities in the state from the virus since 2009.

The Central Utah Public Health Department says you can a help prevent infection by avoiding contact with any rodents and their droppings, as well as activities that stir up dust around rodent-infested areas. Now that Hantavirus has been identified in Wayne County, they are warning people to be cautious about rodent contact.

In situations where it is necessary to clean up rodent urine and droppings, the CUPHD provides the following guidelines: Wear a mask, glasses and rubber or plastic gloves. Spray urine and droppings with disinfectant or a mixture of bleach and water, getting the area very wet, and let it soak for five minutes. Use a paper towel to wipe up urine or droppings and throw the paper towel in the garbage. Mop the area with disinfectant or bleach solution. Wash gloved hands with soap and water or spray a disinfectant or bleach solution on gloves before taking them off. And wash hands with soap and warm water after taking off your gloves.

The recommended cleaning solution is a mixture of 1.5 cups of household bleach and 1 gallon of water. A smaller amount can be made with 1 part bleach and 10 parts water.

Local Fiddler Heads to National Finals TROPIC - Miriam Wagstaff, 12, of Tropic competed on Saturday, August 12 in Richfield against some excellent competitive fiddle players.

Miriam took first place to become the new Utah State Junior-Junior fiddle champ. She will represent Utah in the “Jr-Jr Certified Winners” division in June 2013 at the Fiddle Nationals in Weiser, Idaho.

In a fiddlers contest, players prepare one or more “sets” for the contest. A set consists of a hoedown, a waltz and a tune of choice, and must be performed in four minutes or less. Fiddlers may have up to three accompanists. This is usually gui- Miriam Wagstaff will head to the Fiddle Nationals. tar, but could be other instruments.

If it goes into a second round (or more) the new set may not include any pieces already played. Three judges sit in the orchestra pit and the contestants are identified only by numbers so that the judges don’t recognize the players. Fiddlers are rated in four areas: danceability, old-time style, rhythm, and tone. The winner of each division plays a show piece at the Winner’s Contest that evening where they are awarded a plaque and money. Division winners have their entry paid to the National Fiddle Contest.

Miriam has been studying the violin since age 6 when Megan Cottam established her violin studio in Garfield County. She is the daughter of Clay and Rebecca Wagstaff.

Panguitch’s Kailey Remund with four buckles and a saddle she won in the National Little Britches Rodeo Finals in Pueblo, Colorado. The buckles are for First go, Short go, Average and The World.

PANGUITCH - Kailey Remund, age 12, came home to Panguitch from the 2012 National Little Britches Rodeo Association finals with four buckles and a world champion saddle.

Kailey set her goal when she left the finals last year that she would come home the 2012 Little Britches world champion barrel racer. She worked hard all year to get maxed out on points. Kailey maintained a positive attitude and determination towards reaching her goal.

“At the last nationals I set my goal to be in the top seven and I did that. And this year I set my goal to win The World, and I practiced every day,” says Remund.

Remund says she competed against more than 100 contestants from all over the country in the Junior girls barrel racing finals. She said she ran all 15s, with her winning times being 15.7s and a 15.6.

She won a buckle in first go and short go. She also won the average buckle. And a saddle as well as a buckle and scholarship for finishing 2012 with the highest points in barrel racing.

She competed on several different horses throughout the year to get to the finals, including her grandma's rodeo horse she calls Sugar Mamma. Kailey competed on Sugar Momma at the finals to win the average which gave her enough points to win the world. The girls that she competed with all year have become some of her best friends and were the toughest competition at finals.

We were all excited to see Kailey achieve her goal, and be able to be there and be a part of the excitement. We are proud of Kailey for her hard work and positive attitude.

Kailey is the daughter of Lance and Jessica Miller of Panguitch and Danny and Shelby Remund of Preston, Idaho.

Remund has already set her goals for next year: “I’m planning to do an extra event and I set my goal to get a saddle in every event I do!”

Hunters might see more young bucks

Utah’s general archery buck deer hunt starts August 18, 2012 Utah’s general archery buck deer hunt will begin in just a few days. As the start of the hunt nears, reports provided by Division of Wildlife Resources biologists share a common theme: 1. Deer herds on many units are doing well—lots of fawns were born in 2011, and most of the fawns survived the mild winter of 2011-2012.

Good numbers of young bucks should be available on many of the state’s 30 general-season units.

2. It’s been hot and dry across Utah this summer. On many units, finding water will be the key to finding the deer.

This year is the first year general archery hunters will be limited to hunting on one of 30 new deer hunting units in Utah. For the past several years, archery hunters have been allowed to hunt statewide.

Also, as you’re hunting this fall, please remember to ride your all-terrain vehicle only on designated roads and trails. If

you take it off a designated road or trail, you and other hunters might lose your privilege to use ATVs on public lands in Utah.

Although the overall number of deer is still below the units’ objectives, the deer herds on both the Monroe and Fishlake units are showing improvement over last year. The combined effect of good fawn production in 2011, followed by a mild winter, means good numbers of yearling bucks should be available to you this fall.

The buck-to-doe ratios on both the Monroe and the Fishlake units have also improved.

After the hunts were over last fall, the ratio on the Monroe unit was 14 bucks per 100 does. The Fishlake unit had a buck-to-doe ratio of 19 bucks per 100 does.

Because this past winter was so mild, most of these bucks made it through the winter. And that means more bucks with large antlers should be available on these units this fall.

SMALL TOWN, BIG HEART

Wayne County Youth Plan Central America Service Mission LOA – A group of youth ranging in age from 14 to 19 have put together an eight day service mission itinerary for March 22 – 30, 2013. They, along with adult chaperones, have partnered with an accredited organization in order to offer their time and service to a small farming/agricultural community located in Central Costa Rica. The focus of their service will be working with the children at a local orphanage in a varied array of activities including caregiving and education. This group has put several months of planning into this event and are all anxiously looking forward to sharing this experience.

Loryn Blackbun, a 2013 Senior at Wayne High School and Sterling Scholar Candidate, has led the majority of communications and fund raising efforts for this Mission, including two activities at the upcoming Wayne County Fair – The Rubber Ducky Derby and the Cowpie Contest.

For more information about this group, including how to participate in the fundraising events, contact Brandi Bradbury, (435) 231-3961.

Interview with a Recovering Alcoholic

Wrong Airport

By Cynthia Kimball I had an opportunity to interview a woman, Susan Dalton, whose name has been changed for the purpose of anonymity, who is a recovering alcoholic and has been investigating the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Hopefully, this short interview with give hope to others struggling with addition of any kind.

KIMBALL: So, Susan, huge congratulations to you for not drinking anymore.

What was it like to stop?

DALTON: Extremely hard! It even cost me to go into seizures. And I spent time in the hospital. They had to give me “banana bags”; an IV with yellow liquid in it with all kinds of minerals and vitamins you might be lacking. I lived on IVs for a couple of weeks. I was also anemic. I did not go into a rehab, but that is what is recommended.

KIMBALL: That’s really awesome that you stopped!

DALTON: Thank you. I had a desire to. You have to have the desire to quit drinking. The desire has to be there.

And it has to be the right place and right time. It has to be where you really want to be, sober.

KIMBALL: Anything else in addition to desire?

DALTON: Honestly, I don’t know, but I’m going to

say it has to do with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and investigating the church.

I don’t know what hit me. I don’t even know what it was, but something hit me and it helped me. You know, I was bad off. I was clinically dead three times. Something in the church hit me where I stopped drinking and said, “Okay, I can do this. I can turn my life over to God.” I needed to have something to believe in.

KIMBALL: What’s a typical day like?

DALTON: It’s still hard, but I’m taking one day at a time.

KIMBALL: I understand that you’re currently preparing to be baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints…

DALTON: …correct.

KIMBALL: Good for you, Susan. Good for you.

And why did you choose to do this?

DALTON: Because I want it. Because I feel it. It’s just right.

KIMBALL: What have you learned thus far about the gospel of Jesus Christ?

DALTON: I’ve learned about friendship, hope and faith.

KIMBALL: What would you to say to someone who is struggling with addiction who wants to change and find hap-

piness through the gospel like you are?

DALTON: Again, they need the desire. They have to have that desire. Without that investigating may not work. And there may be some things that you disagree with, but you have to see the good of everything. You have to be taught and investigate the questions you have. You need the willingness to learn and then you’ll feel the glory of the gospel, the way of Joseph Smith, the other prophets, etc.

You have to invest and learn and then afterwards are the rewards. You just feel good and that’s the truthfulness of the church, to me anyway, and then there’s a light, and then you get the reward of learning.

KIMBALL: Any last words?

DALTON: How much do you want to feel good? How many days have you been sick and tired of being sick and tired? If you are, it’s never too late to change.

Are You Hurt?

A policeman arrives at the scene of an accident, in which a car smashed into a tree. The cop rushes over to the vehicle and asks the driver, “Are you seriously hurt?”

“How do I know?” the driver responds. “I’m not a lawyer!”

Abstract Noun

Three-year-old Sean was playing with his food on his plate.

His father, an airline pilot, picked up Sean’s spoon, put some peas on it and said, “Zoom, zoom. Open your hangar. Here comes an airplane.”

Sean clenched his teeth and then said, “Wrong airport, Daddy.”

Passport Photo

Unfortunately, getting a new passport required a new photo. As I handed my tenyear-old passport and the new picture to the clerk, I sighed.

“I like the original better,” I told her.

“Trust me,” she said.

“Ten years from now, you’ll like this one.”

To Play: Complete the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 box contains the digits 1 to 9

“An abstract noun,” the teacher said, “is something you can think of, but you can’t touch it. Can you give me an example of one?”

“Sure,” a teenage boy replied. “My father’s new car.”

The Necklace

A tourist was admiring the necklace worn by a local Indian.

“What is it made of?” she asked.

“Alligator’s teeth,” the Indian replied.

“I suppose,” she said patronizingly, “that they mean as much to you as pearls do to us.”

“Oh no,” he objected.

“Anybody can open an oyster.”

by Vicki D. Syrett 679-8687 or vickidiane36@hotmail.com Starting off today we would like to welcome Erica Walz as the new editor of the Insider. We wish her the best of luck in her new adventure. We know she will do a great job.

We will miss Ryan however and wish him well in his life. If you have something you would like in the paper it is still the same email address as before: snapshot@live.com and they will receive it and publish it. You can send your news to me at my email address: vickidiane36@ gmail.com and I too will take care of it. They like pictures emailed rather than faxed so remember that. Thanks to all who support us as we try to get your news out.

Because of the sadness we have all experienced over the last few weeks I would like to use this quote from President Gordon B. Hinckley. He said it at a funeral of a friend and it applies to all of us: “What a wonderful thing is death. Really when all is said and done it is the great reliever. It is a majestic, quiet passing on from this life to another. A better life. I am satisfied of that. We go to a place where we will not suffer as we have suffered here, but where we will continue to grow. Accumulating knowledge and being useful under the plan of the Almighty. Made possible through the atonement of the Son of God.” It is a great help to read this to those that have that belief in a life hereafter.

Thanks for your indulgence in letting me print this.

SUMMER READING

Dream Big - READ Summer Reading Program

Destiny and West Saunders: This Summer’s Best Readers

During the 2012 summer reading program, we had a boy and girl that read more than anyone else.

Destiny Saunders of Bicknell, read 4,200 minutes, while her younger brother, West, read 3,800 minutes! They have been visiting me regularly at the library and I love it! Congratulations, you two, for being our BEST readers! The Summer reading program is to promote reading during the summer vacation period. Children can lose up to a grade level in reading if they do not read during their summer break. Come visit your local library and keep your kids reading!

WEDDINGS

Marlene Haws Ph: 826-4859 • marleneh@color-country.net August 16th! Summer is almost gone and school will soon be starting AGAIN! It seems like the kids haven’t had much of a break. They have been attending sports camps and school related events all summer!

Sue Bassett retired at the end of the school year, then spent a month in France on vacation. She had a little potential fender bender in the busy streets of London. She on her bicycle, the other guy in a Mercedes. But, except for that being a rather frightening experience for her, everything turned out okay and neither of their fenders were bent!

She is back home now and, even though she is retired, she will be working with our children again at the elementary school as a teachers aid. She says she has a home in Parowan but is not ready to leave Escalante yet and that’s good because we are not ready to have her go.

Susan Shurtz and her two sons, Lenza and Zach, went on a trip to France (?) this summer, but they haven”t given me any details yet!

Vergean and Carolyn Porter celebrated Carolyn’s birthday, in Cedar City, with their kids on August 7th. “Happy Birthday, Carolyn!”

Eve Marsh spent a few

days in Salt Lake, then after she came home her two sisters, Mary and Ruth, came here to visit her. The three of them are triplets!

Our condolences to Ann (King) Reynolds and family, at the passing of their husband and father, Tom Reynolds, Panguitch. Funeral services and burial were in Boulder, Utah on Saturday. Tom was one of Escalante’s native sons.

Tina Griffin puts out a report on Mark’s condition periodically. (Mark suffered extensive injuries in a car wreck two months ago). He is in the Utah Valley Hospital now and Tina’s report this past week was very optimistic. She says his body is finally starting to heal, he is free from infections, his spirits are up and his mind is sharp. He was actually able to be wheeled out into the sunshine one day, after two months. He still has a long way to go but Tina is hoping they can be back home in St. George before too long.

Gene’s and Thais’s whole family takes turns visiting Mark and Tina and they really appreciate all the love and support they have been receiving from everyone.

The Escalante Lion’s Club (The original one) is celebrating their 50 year an-

niversary this year. This club has made many worthwhile contributions to the city of Escalante in those 50 years and they still continue to do so. This is the group that first began to decorate main street with lights on Christmas. They lit the big pine tree that, until just a few years ago, stood in Neal Liston’s front yard (Now owned by Jalene and Dwight Vance). That was when they had to climb the tree to get the lights up into it! They were instrumental in getting our first TV service into town, and have maintained the towers up until the time the county took them over. They poured cement and placed the picnic tables at the park, they remodeled and helped maintain our first clinic, built the first fire house and bought the first fire engine, and so many other things. They are still taking charge of the parade on the 24th of July, including the float for the bandwagon that morning, members of the club take turns at the little log cabin information station, they police 5 miles of highway 12 twice a year, contribute to many projects, sometimes unmentioned, and the list goes on. Congratulations to this group on their many years of service. Some of us remember and appreciate

all that you have done.

Peggy Soren fell and broke her leg. She has been walking around on crutches and is scheduled for an operation on it soon. Julie Ford, Howard Hutchison and Sheila Mickey accompanied her, on the bus, to get it taken care of.

Ben and Renee Porter had a visit from their son Coy and family of Provo. They brought friends with them who liked it here so well they wondered if they could make a living here!

At the city council meeting last week, Katie Crosier (our Postmaster’s wife) was appointed to a planning and zoning alternate position. We appreciate your willingness to serve, Katie!

Rick and Helen Pruitt, Richfield, were in town on the weekend visiting with Helen’s mom, Florence Alvey.

Elaine Lott had surgery last week. We hope she is feeling better by now.

Bev and Bill Kuhns were on the receiving end of the lightning last week when it struck close enough to take out some of their electrical appliances. The rain also washed their road up pretty well. It took Bill a couple of days to get that back in shape. Bev said it was a pretty frightening experience.

Adus Dorsey Gardens are producing in quantity and quality all over Wayne County. For those of us that were not gifted with the “green thumb” we have been watching with envy as every vegetable conceivable has miraculously risen from ground in our neighbors’ and friends’ gardens. A favorite pastime for many of us is having the growers name all the different kinds of greens that they nurtured into existence. Driving around Wayne County these days is like being in the biggest vegetable section in any store you have ever been in. Larry Estridge has a fine assortment of arugula, John and Margaret have plenty of horse radish (John says a little bit goes a long ways), Randy can barely supply enough okra from his garden in Caineville to upcounty residents, and if you want some you would need to pull him over at the park boundary to get some because he can barely get to Torrey before it is all gone. Dee Hatch of Loa has been working his garden since spring, his peppers should be ready and he told me he had to plant them three times. Dee is the most gracious and garden-knowledgeable person I know—he can tell more garden stories than the Jolly Green Giant. Missing the most is Ramola Woolsey working in her garden on the corner of River Road and Highway 24, she has always been like everyone’s Ma that has spent every summer in the garden and always glad to see

you if you stopped by.

It is a sad commentary when our flags spend more time at half-mast than flying proudly at the top of the pole. It is hard to think of colorful Colorado or Wisconsin the same without thoughts of senseless human tragedy coming to mind. And it is a hard thing for most law abiding citizens to understand how anyone could get to a point in their life where thinking that taking the lives of innocent people would make our world a better or more understandable place.

Faun Jackson at the Wayne Library has been seeking comments on the summer reading project and how the program makes a difference. From my observations the Wayne County reading program is as important as water wings and the swimming pool in the summer.

The entertainment value alone is better than the endless reruns of Law and Order or Sesame Street. My guess is that all the Wayne County kids that regularly attend the summer reading program will some day be bringing their kids to sit and listen to stories told about Winnie the Pooh, Arthur and a dozen other imaginary characters I have been introduced to this summer. What better way to spend quality time with your children than to read with them, and it gets even better when you can take them to the library to have fun with Faun.

Faun, your reading program is the highlight of the summer for a lot of us kids. Write

or call Faun and let her know what you think.

A local report of a stranded camper in the Sand Creek area was cause for quite a stir on the Wayne County Facebook page last Friday, prompting frantic emergency calls to the Fishlake National Forest forester Ranger Allan Rowley in Richfield. Although Zeph Smith, son of local residents in Torrey, had only recently entered into the Sand Creek area to seek some much needed solitude and private contemplation, his long sought after isolation was inadvertently interrupted by an over zealous rescuer and a local concerned citizen. It is well known that Sand Creek can be notoriously hard to navigate after a storm. Unbeknownst to the semi - stranded Zeph Smith, who had turned off his cell phone to save his battery for emergencies, it was posted on Facebook that he was up Sand Creek “without a paddle” so to speak. Unknowingly Zeph’s need for solitude and private camping contemplation became the hot topic of an in depth discussion and concern on Facebook. As of Sunday afternoon at 12:00 p.m. Zeph Smith reported to local authorities he had courageously and miraculously forded the mighty Sand Creek and was safely reunited with his wife and kids. All rescue efforts

by Special Forces, National Guard, Fishlake National Forest personnel, Wayne County Sheriff’s office and Search and Rescue, Ron Moosman construction and Torrey Town maintenance equipment and employees were instructed to stand down.

Flash floods are serious business, anyone venturing into the backcountry here in Wayne County during the summer monsoon season is reminded to be prepared with a sturdy shovel and be sure to carry plenty of cash or your Gold account Visa Card in the event of an emergency.

If you happened to venture through Torrey this weekend it was visibly noticeable that something big was happening at the Robbers Roost Bookstore. The 6th annual Women’s Redrock Music Festival filled motels, restaurants, stores and anything with doors

wide enough to get in with festival goers and high powered performers the likes of internationally famous Toby playing along with a local favorite Vicky Thorn from Boulder.

Crystal Bowersox, American Idol runner up, was the headline act preceded by a full host of fantastic performers that kept the Woodstock-sized crowd engaged and highly entertained. As Arthur Adleman stated “the performers spoke and sang my feelings to a T”.

Specialty booths were at a premium, you could buy a vintage guitar from Barry with Ardvark instruments, purchase locally handmade exquisite jewelry and Prehistoric Artwear from Donna Sall, get a glitter tattoo, adopt a homeless animal from Dottie Weaver, win a Bud bike, and eat a number of delicacies from local food artisans at the festival. Festival organizers reported a record turn out and a wonderful crowd.

In preparation for the Wayne County Fair this week in Wayne County there were many Wayne High FFA and 4H members showing animals at the Sevier County Fair.

Notably visible was Jessica Grundy, Wayne High’s FFA instructor and a number of her students showing their prized animals. The hog classes were particularly entertaining and had many observers in the crowd seeking BLT’s from fair vendors after the competition. Following the hogs were 14 classes of prime, finely groomed sheep raised locally by the likes of Brigg Blackburn and many other FFA members in Wayne County.

The steer competition was a sight to behold; the Kerry Cook family from Fremont were serious contenders in the steer classes. In a short conversation with McCoy Brian near his stall McCoy shared some of his secret steer training techniques about how he prepares for competition.

Sworn to secrecy and under the threat of being physically led up and down Main Street in Loa behind a John Deere tractor with a steel nose ring installed I can’t divulge this important information.

Support the Wayne County Fair. Saddle Up and see you there…

OBITUARIES LaRayne LeFevre Lindsay

AG MARKET NEWS

Hyrum Christensen

PARAGONAH/PANGUITCH - LaRayne LeFevre Lindsay 54 of Paragonah, Utah was embraced back to Heaven on August 13, 2012. She was born on December 4, 1957 in Panguitch, Utah to Ike LeFevre and Ada Nay LeFevre. She was a proud Panguitch High alumnus. She was married to her sweetheart Kriston Lindsay on April 13, 1974, and they made their lives together in Panguitch, Cedar City, Parowan, and currently in Paragonah.

LaRayne was known by all for her service to the community, loving heart, and sense of humor. LaRayne was self-employed as a Realtor at ERA in Southern Utah. She worked at Parowan Elementary for fifteen years as an aide and completed her CNA before beginning her journey with ovarian cancer. LaRayne supported her children in all they did and never missed a chance to go to a high school game or dance competition. She also served in the Little League, Booster Club, and PTA. She was a strong supporter of the Search and Rescue and for many years was the president of the Ladies Auxillary. She enjoyed sewing, crochet, and embroidery, and shared her talents with many. She loved books and served as president of the Paragonah Literary Club and also served in the local DUP leadership. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints she had an enduring faith and cherished the time she was able to work in the St. George Temple. Her pure happiness and joy was spending time with her grandchildren. LaRayne was an absolute delight and even in her final days, she was gracious and maintained her humor by making jokes and telling stories to her family.

The family would like to express their gratitude to all the doctors and nurses that have cared for LaRayne and the great support received from many friends in the community.

LaRayne is survived by her husband Kriston Lindsay; her children Kit Lindsay of Heber City, Kenneth Lindsay (Chantel) of Moab, Amanda Porter (Kamden) of Midway, and Rebecca Lindsay of Orem.

CANNONVILLE - Hyrum Abel Christensen, 86, passed away August 13, 2012 in Panguitch, Utah. He was born May 18, 1926 in American Fork Utah to Hyrum M and Rosa Abel Christensen. He married Sylvia Jean Bradshaw December 18, 1950 in the Salt Lake City Temple. She preceded him in death September 13, 1993.

Hyrum served honorably in the Pacific Islands during World War II . While in the military he was gunner on a B-29 bomber. He also earned his wings. One of his greatest accomplishments during his service was being part of the group of pilots that dropped supplies to the American POW’s in Japan.

Hyrum spent much of his life educating others. He taught science and math at Tooele Jr. High for over 30 years. While there he was known by many as the “mad scientist” that had “gross things in bottles at the back of the room, beakers and Bunson burners with strange things brewing, always wore a lab coat and he had a skeleton in his closet.” He also taught in Leysin, Switzerland for a year, and at Sorenson’s Boys Ranch in Koosharm.

He was an avid bicyclist until he had the opportunity to ride a tricycle. From then on he was on three wheels more than his two feet.

He enjoyed spending time hunting, using both archery and rifle. He was know to tell people that he was a good hunter, just not a very good finder. It was the time spent in the hills with family and friends that meant the most to him. He even has a current archery permit for this year.

He was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and held many callings. While living in Tooele he was the music director for 15 straight years.

He loved music of all kinds. He learned how to play many instruments including piano, baritone, flute, trombone and drums. He even tried his hand at some lesser known ones such as the didgeridoo and the mandolin.

He loved the town of Cannonville. Even though he only spent three years there he felt like it was home. The family would like to express their thanks for all the acts of kindness that were shown to him.

He is survived by children: Sylvia (John) Henderson, St. Paul, NE; Mary Lynn Christensen, Eagle Mountain; Brad (Beverly) Christensen, Tooele; Paul Christensen, Taylorsville; George (Karen) Christensen, Nampa, ID; Rosa Dover, Hurricane; Sarah (Daniel) Rose, Henrieville; and Dawn Wright, Salt Lake City; 22 grandchildren and 26Great grand children. and 1 Great-great grandchild on the way; siblings: Mary Ellen Welling , Tremonton; LuEva Palmer, Fruitland, ID; Afton (Paul) Curritt,Cashmere, WA; Peggy (Don) Bateman, Issaquah, WA; Rosa May (Burt) Smith, Perry; Virginia (Mark) Farman, Greenacres, WA; Georgia (Verl) Garrard, Salem, OR; Meda (Owen) Murphy, Tremonton.

Also preceded in death by parents; sister, Ann Methley, brothers-in-law, Burt Smith, Earl Glen.

Funeral services will be held Friday, August 17, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. in the Henrieville Ward Chapel. Friends may call at the ward chapel in Henrieville Thursday from 6-8 p.m. and Friday, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Burial will be in the Tooele City Cemetery on Saturday at 1 p.m. with military rites.

SO, YOU HAVE A TRUST, NOW WHAT? FUND IT, FUND IT, FUND IT!

By Jeffery J. McKenna

You’ve wisely decided to create a trust. You have provided for control of your property during your lifetime, in the event of disability, and after death. One of the great advantages to having a trust is avoiding probate. However, the advantages disappear if you do not fund your trust.

Funding is the process of transferring your various assets to your trust. The type of asset determines the method of transfer. If you think in terms of how you obtained the asset, you will have a clue to transferring it. For example, you obtained your house when you received a deed. In order to transfer real estate to your trust, a deed is prepared from you, as the present owner, to you, as the trustee of your trust. Once the deed into the trust is recorded, the transfer is complete.

Let’s look at some other common assets and see how they are transferred to your trust: · Motor vehicles - re-title the vehicle in the name of the trust (note however that in many states including Utah, Nevada and Arizona, motor vehicles can usually be transferred upon death without probate).

· Bank accounts, including CD’s - a change of name form is filled out at the bank or credit union. · Savings bonds - special forms are provided by the Federal Reserve or your bank. · Stock certificates - the transfer agent for the stock is contacted and a change of name form is completed. A signature guarantee may be required. · Brokerage accounts similar to individual stock. · Personal property - a document called an assignment or bill of sale is executed that transfers all categories of personal property that do not require special treatment. · IRAs and other “Qualified” money – never transfer OWNERSHIP of this type of account to your trust. Transferring ownership would trigger all taxes and penalties that result from withdrawing this special asset. Rather than transferring ownership the

beneficiary designation(s) may need to be changed.

Note: If you have accounts or policies with beneficial designations, IRAs, life insurance, annuities, etc., make sure that the designations are consistent with your current estate plans as they will control where that property goes.

Some of the assets you transfer to your trust will be covered by one or more insurance policies. For example,

your home is usually covered. The insurance company should be notified to add the trust as an “other insured.”

Just keep in mind that a little paperwork is required to fund your trust. Once your trust is fully funded, future additions will be relatively simple.

FYI PANGUITCH

WAYNE COUNTY SHERIFF’S

By: Mack Oetting ~ E-mail: mackoetting @gmail.com Sorry about last week, we were taking our Granddaughter Teah to Seattle for her new adventure in Medical School at the University of Washington. We did the sights while we were there, our usual sixteen hour days, so much to see there, the Space Needle, Pikes Market and the University. We took the ferry out to Vancouver Island and Victoria. Victoria is like an English City with flowers everywhere, they have over 1400 hanging plants, throughout the City.

We went out to Butchart Gardens, it is an amazing place, put it on your bucket list. The trip there was very interesting, you certainly learn of the need for water. The Yakima Valley with a river running through it is planted with a variety of crops as far as you can see.

Much of Idaho is barren, but where there is water it does really well. Going to Seattle put our family’s mind at ease, it’s a great City and we feel Teah is safe there.

A couple of our girls are also venturing out to greener pastures. Jennifer Perkins is off to St. Louis to work in Environmental ( I think) Therapy at the hospital there. Hailey Sawyer, our former pro basketball star is off to Fort Defiance in Ohio. She is going to be an assistance basketball coach. While she is there she will be working on her Masters Degree. If you had seen Hailey play ball in the 5th and 6th grades, Fort Defiance fits right in there with the way she played ball. Her mother who was the coach learned early on that you don’t pull her out of a game. Good luck to these young ladies; these are big changes in their lives.

We have a couple of recent retirees, George Whiting and Karen Swanger. George

retired after 25 years from Garfield County, as a truck driver and maintenance man.

George retired at the end of May and is keeping busy with honey-do jobs, for his wife, Vickie. Karen has been the long time Post Mistress here in Panguitch and retired at the end of July.

Working in the Post Office is very stressful and Karen is taking a long needed vacation. The Post Office, rather than close some of these small offices in Hatch, Circleville, Tropic and Escalante, is doing away with the Post Masters position and replacing them with clerks. Panguitch’s new Post Master will be over these smaller offices and will be someone from somewhere else. I hope I got this right.

Good luck to George and Karen, retirement is great as long as you keep busy.

Hope you saw the center fold paper about the County Fair, it starts today. If you get to half of the events you are going to be worn out by Sunday. I like what they did to the fish grab, they split the pond and the fathers are going to have to jump in on the big kid’s side. Don’t miss the Commissioners free lunch, it will be hosted by the Panguitch Lions Club, with hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, watermelon and drinks, all free.

You can purchase tickets for the DEMOLITION DERBY there, they will be $7:00 till 3 pm. and $10:00 after that and at the gate. Save some room for dinner—there will be a full concession stand. There is so much to do and to see at the fair, come on out and enjoy.

Adam Sawyer got an early start on the Demolition Derby. While towing his number 13 car around town, his tow strap broke and he

launched his car off the trailer.

It went up a driveway across a lawn, just missing a house and stopped against the wheel of a car parked in the driveway.

Adam has always used the number 8 before in the derby, and maybe he should go back to it.

Those of you that would like to get in shape, Nikki Dastrop (her maiden nane) is running a boot camp program, called Operation Tonergy.

Nikki has been a long time Personal Trainer and those that already are in the class can see the effort that it takes pays off. Instead of doing the same exercise over and over, she is constantly changes the workout. This is held at the Social Hall at 6am and 7pm on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

The High School sports are starting up; the baseball team has already played 5 games. It doesn’t seem that they are going to let up any in their quest for a repeat as State Camps. These are some of the scores: St Joe, 29-0, Wayne 19-1, and Piute 4-0, in the five games only one run was scored against them. Last Tuesday the Lady Cats got off the season with a game against Beaver and will be going to St. George on Friday for a tournament. Cross Country is also under way, it’s going to be quite a fall sports time. Next week will start up the sport section.

The Olympics are over and weren’t they grand? Pat and I seemed to have been traveling at this time of the year and missed the last two.

The USA won many medals in a lot of events, some of the events I never heard of, air rifle shooting and dual diving teams, to name a couple. England did a super job and must have made a bunch of bucks,

80,000 at attendance to see the women soccer championship game, sell outs at all of the venues and over a million attended the woman’s bike race. Even if the events were run 8 hours earlier, it didn’t matter. If you didn’t know the outcome it was fun. Michael Phelps won 22 medals over three Olympics and 18 were gold, something that will never be duplicatedagain.

Where did the summer go, only one month to go, school starts this Monday. It just doesn’t seem fair, summer is only four months and winter is eight. This summer had some unique solar events, starting with the full solar eclipse, followed by Venus crossing the sun. For both of these events you will have to wait one hundred years to see again, however in August we have a blue moon, with a full moon on the first and another on the 31st.

This event will be repeated again in August 2015, so you won’t have to wait so long.

We have a new owner of the Insider. Erica Walz has purchased the paper from Ryan Davis. Erica lives in Escalante and has spent the last three months in training, driving from Escalante to Loa. The Insider is our main communication in Garfield County and is greatly appreciated, many thanks to Ryan and good luck to Erica.

Enjoy the Fair and Demolition Derby Mack O. Ed. note: Thanks, Mack!

Now that I have a w-a-a-a--y better idea of what it’s taken Ryan to build and produce this paper these many years, he does deserve lots of appreciation. And...he’s been great to work with during this transition! —Erica

Great High-elevation Summer Fishing You can beat the heat, have fun and enjoy breathtaking scenery by grabbing your fishing pole and heading to Utah’s mountains.

Treating the Middle Fork of Sheep Creek is the first step in bringing native Colorado River cutthroat trout back to the creek Hundreds of lakes are waiting for you in the Uinta and Boulder mountains.

Paul Birdsey, cold water sport fisheries coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources, says some of the best summer fishing in Utah is found at high-elevation waters in the state. Those waters include lakes in the Uinta Mountains in northern Utah and Boulder Mountain down south.

Birdsey says trout feed actively when the water temperature is between 55 and 65 degrees F. “Fifty five to 65 degrees is the ideal water temperature for trout,” he says. “It’s also the water temperature the high-elevation lakes remain at throughout the summer. That’s

the main reason they’re such great places to fish.”

Uinta Mountains, Boulder Mountain. While highelevation waters throughout Utah provide quality fishing in the summer, the Uinta Mountains and Boulder Mountain are among the best places to try.

If you visit the Uinta Mountains in northern and

northeastern Utah, you’ll find a wide variety of opportunities. Those opportunities range from lakes next to state Route 150 (the Mirror Lake Highway) that are stocked with fish weekly to backcountry lakes that you have to hike or ride a horse to reach.

“The lakes next to Route 150 are great places to take your family fishing,” Birdsey

says.

The lakes on Boulder Mountain in southern Utah are usually harder to reach. But the lakes there are more productive and usually produce bigger fish. “Some of the lakes on Boulder Mountain provide really, really nice fish,” Birdsey says.

Naming the new Mars Rover...

The following is the essay written by Clara Ma, winner of the Mars Science Laboratory naming contest. Twelve-year-old Ma submitted the winning entry, “Curiosity.”

You can still be seen at Garfield Memorial Hospital and clinics Got questions? Call: Jolene at (435) 676-1299 Janine at (435) 676-1298

“Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind. It makes me get out of bed in the morning and wonder what surprises life will throw at me that day. Curiosity is such a powerful force. Without it, we wouldn’t be who we are today. When I was younger, I wondered, ‘Why is the sky blue?’, ‘Why do the stars twinkle?’, ‘Why am I me?’, and I still do. I had so many questions, and America is the place where I want to find my answers. Curiosity is the passion that drives us through our everyday lives. We have become explorers and scientists with our need to ask questions and to wonder. Sure, there are many risks and dangers, but despite that, we still continue to wonder and dream and create and hope. We have discovered so much about the world, but still so little. We will never know everything there is to know, but with our burning curiosity, we have learned so much.” BTW: Ma actually SIGNED the rover before its’ launch!!!

Don’t know about you...but these words renew my faith in today’s youth!!!

4-H Celebrates 100 Years!

By GaeLynn Peterson, USU Extension / 4-H Faculty

WAYNE CO. - 4-H was a big deal when I was growing up! I remember with fondness going to Leta Oyler’s home for our weekly 4-H sewing class!

Maridee Hatch, Eunice Oyler, Vivian Taylor, Nyra Taylor and I were learning to sew our very first skirts . Next came our baking class with Madge Taylor. We learned to make delicious golden loaves of bread! I will always be grateful to those faithful volunteers that took the time and effort to lead a 4-H club.

The Wayne County Fair was an exciting time. I remember being so anxious to see if a blue ribbon was attached to my entry, and having my entry be chosen to go the State Fair was like winning the lottery!

4-H clubs were available all

over the county then and 4-H is still alive today!

This year we celebrate the 100th birthday of 4-H in Utah.

It started in Cache County in 1912 with “potato” clubs and by 1914 there were nine types of clubs in Utah: Potato, corn, market garden, apple, poultry, sugar beets, and mangels, bread making, flower garden and sewing.

4-H originated in Ohio where it was started in 1902.

Utah State University runs the local 4-H programs through its extension offices.

This year in Wayne County’s 4-H program, our youth have had the opportunity to participate in Mock Legislation at the State Capital, travel to Washington D.C., participate in Junior Youth Conference in Ephraim, Intermediate Camp in Price, Teen Retreat in Eagle Point, Leadermete and State 4-H contests, participate in Science, Engineering, Technology nights, attend sewing camp, cooking camp, and science camp, soccer, participate in a multitude of service projects, and show livestock in the Sevier County Fair to name a few.

Hopefully many 4-H exhibits will be entered in the Fair this year with money being awarded for ribbons. Also, articles will be chosen to go to the State Fair and the exhibitor will be given free tickets to the State Fair.

4-H offers hands-on learning experiences for everyone no matter what their interests. 4-H teaches life skills such as responsibility, citizenship, service, and leadership. 4-H helps develop selfesteem, public relations skills, public speaking skills, and self-confidence.

Come into our office in the Court House to see the opportunities that are available!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 4-H

Celebrating 100 Years of 4-H: 4-H Clubs offer a wide variety of opportunities for youth that promote life skills such as responsibility, citizenship, service and leadership.

How to Save on Back-to-School Shopping

By Jason Alderman On the fun-o-meter, I’d probably rank back-to-school shopping right above getting a flu shot and preparing income taxes. Never mind the hassle of figuring out what our kids need for the coming school year and dragging them to the mall, it’s just so expensive.

For example, our son insists that we replace his baseball glove and bat as he enters 7th grade. (He’s right – his four-year-old mitt has seen better days.) Also, our daughter is starting soccer and needs cleats – good ones aren’t cheap and footwear is one area where we refuse to scrimp.

Many years ago my wife and I learned our lesson and started setting aside money each month for the inevitable – and unexpected – expenses that crop up each fall. By trial and error – and sound advice from fellow parents – we’ve developed a back-to-school budgeting checklist: First, calculate how much you can afford to spend on school-related expenses without blowing your overall budget or racking up debt. Scoring

bargains won’t help your bottom line if you end up paying interest on unpaid balances.

Next, make a comprehensive list of anticipated expenses for each child and build in a cushion for unexpected costs.

Try these strategies: Examine previous years’ bills and compare notes with other, more experienced parents.

Ask the school which supplies they expect you to buy. Pool resources with other families to take advantage of volume discounts and sales.

Spread clothing purchases throughout the year so your kids won’t outgrow everything at once; plus you can take advantage of off-season sales.

Review school dress codes so you don’t waste money on inappropriate clothing.

Before buying new clothing or accessories, look for “gently used” items in the closets of your older kids, friends and neighbors, at garage sales, thrift and consignment stores, and sites like Craig’s List.

Find out how much extracurricular activities (athletics,

music, art, etc.) cost. Account for uniforms, membership dues, private lessons, field trips, snacks, etc.

Compare the cost, convenience and nutritional value of school lunches and snacks versus food you prepare yourself.

Learn your school’s policy on immunizations and see what’s covered by your insurance – or which ones you can access free at health fairs or community clinics.

Factor in public transportation, school bus or carpool expenses.

Although shopping online can save money, time and gas, don’t forget shipping and return costs, which could undo any net savings. If your kids are old enough, put them in charge of online comparison shopping.

Clip newspaper and online coupons. Many stores will match competitors’ prices even if their own items aren’t on sale. Plus, many consolidation websites post downloadable coupons and sale codes for online retailers.

Mobile shopping apps let in-store smartphone and mobile browser users scan product barcodes and make on-thespot price comparisons, read reviews, download coupons, buy products and more.

Some parents wrestle over whether or not to take their kids on shopping trips. I think it’s worth the effort so they can hear and absorb your decision-making process and understand what’s available to spend. My kids are probably sick of hearing me say, “I’m going to buy this brand of underwear because it’s cheaper, which will give us more money to buy a better-quality jacket.”

Bottom line: Back-toschool shopping can be tedious, but if you plan carefully, you can save time, money and aggravation.
