Escalante Canyons Arts Festival Just Gets Better and Better ESCALANTE - The 9th Annual Escalante Canyons Art Festival-Everett Ruess Days held in Escalante, Utah on September 28-29 saw increases in participation across the board. More than 80 artists from near and as far away as Canada and Connecticut participated in the Plein Air Competition and of these, approximately a third were participating for the first time.

The Speaker’s Series which featured Dr. Scott Sampson and Will Bagley, set attendance records by the looks of overflowing parking lots and standing room only crowds at several sessions.

Vendors selling art, photography, fabric goods, ceramics, and food were busy with customers both Friday and Saturday.

And the entertainment ranged from locals talents – Kenny Hall, Making Moves Dance Company, and Hannah Ohlwiler – to those from further afar like Emmy-Award winning Dan Bern from Southern California and Haywire from Emery County.

Plein Air artists could begin painting for this year’s competition on September 21 and were also able to enjoy a one-day Paint-Out event – Paint the Town – painting in and around Escalante on September 26. For the Plein Air Competitions, prizes totally more than $8000 were awarded in two categories, Oil/Acrylic and Mixed Media.

(A comprehensive list of winners is included at the end of article.)

This year’s Best of Show winners included Susette Gertsch from Midvale, Utah for her oil painting titled, Looking West from Spencer Flats and Jeff Dunn from Honolulu, Hawaii for his pastel titled, Henry Mountains. The winner of the Paint-Out Competition was Jodi McGregor Peterson, of Logan, Utah.

This year’s Paint-Out Award was presented in memory of Randy Russell, a long time festival artist who recently passed away. During the festival, attendees are encouraged to vote for their favorite work to determine the winner of the People’s Choice Award - Rick Howell was the proud winner.

Participating artists vote for their favorite piece and Brad Holt of Cedar City was honored with the Artist’s Choice Award. Additionally at the award ceremony, the organizing committee recognized Bob and Sheila Faulkner for their years of support to the festival.

This year’s Speaker Series hosted by the Escalante Interagency Visitor Center and funded by the Utah Humanities Council, drew record crowds and included the following speakers and topics: • Judy Shell Busk The Sum of Our Past: Revisiting Pioneer Women

Allysia Angus

The group of plein air art contest winners from the Escalante Canyons Art Festival included local and and visiting artists, old-timers and those new to the festival this year. Congratulations, everyone!

• Deborah Reeder Thomas Moran - Painter of the First National Parks • Will Bagley – Ancient Trails & the Crossroads of the West • Paula L. McNeill The Art & Life of Utah Landscape Painter Brad Holt On Friday evening, paleontologist Dr. Scott Sampson shared stories about dinosaur discoveries in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument to a big crowd at the high school. Sampson

is best known to the younger set as Dr. Scott on the hit PBS KIDS series, Dinosaur Train.

The engaging program was followed with a book signing and the opportunity for kids to have their photo taken with Dr. Scott.

In conjunction with Dr. Scott’s visit elementary students from Escalante and Boulder enthusiastically participated and prepared Dinosaurs in the Desert, a digital photography exhibit featuring Dinosaur Train toys taken

into the landscape and photographed playing with scale to make them appear as though they were life size in their “natural” habitat.

Awards were given in categories for Kindergarten to 3rd Grade and 4th Grade to 6th Grade.

A highlight of this year’s festival was a student exhibit

by BYU’s Department of Visual Arts. The exhibit is the result of the students visiting Grand Staircase-Escalante Cont’d on page 2

ESCALANTE - A dream long held by some Escalante and Boulder citizens is about to come true: The first-ever running of the Escalante Canyons Marathon. On Saturday, October 13, runners from both nearby and as far away as Mexico City will cross the starting line in Boulder and race on Scenic Route 12 to Escalante. This event is paired with a 10-mile race from the Head of the Rocks scenic overlook to Escalante.

The Escalante Canyons Marathon has been spearheaded by a dedicated group of Escalante residents with the support of the Garfield County Office of Tourism and other generous sponsors. The hope is to make the marathon an annual autumn tradition, with proceeds going towards community projects.

Each marathoner and 10-miler will join a small group of kindred souls who have chosen to run one of the most beautiful courses in the country. These runners should be celebrated for their boldness and openness, for their eagerness to take on such a raw challenge, and for the athletic spirit they will bring to Escalante and Boulder.

Race events include a pre-race dinner for runners, volunteers, and the community at the Escalante City Park Pavilion between 5:30 and 7 p.m. on Friday, October 12.

Pasta, baked chicken, salad, homemade rolls, apple pie, apple cake, and fresh apple juice (it’s apple season!) will be on the menu for 10 dollars

The Escalante Canyons Marathon will take place this Saturday morning on Hwy 12 from Boulder to Escalante. Drivers are asked to be courteous (and encouraging!) to runners if you’re on the road that morning. a person. This is an opportunity to show our community spirit and support the runners as they prepare for the next day’s races. All are welcome!

On Saturday, the 26.2mile marathon will begin at 7:30 a.m. near the Boulder Mountain Lodge and run westbound on Route 12. The 10-Miler will begin at 9 a.m. at Head of the Rocks.

Although the road will remain open during the races and all runners will stay to the right edge of the road, anyone driving on Route 12 between 7

a.m. and 1 pm is urged to drive slowly and use extreme caution when passing runners.

An awards ceremony for each race will be held in front of EHS when the winners have finished. Twelve hundred dollars in prize money is being awarded to the top three male and female winners of the marathon, and winners of the 10-Miler will be awarded winners’ medals. Community members are invited to cheer the racers as they cross the finish line and join them for refreshments and awards

presentations. To witness the winners, plan to arrive at the finish area by 10 a.m. for the 10-milers and by 11 a.m. for the marathoners.

To ensure a successful event, more volunteers are urgently needed and will be much appreciated. If you are available to help out on or before race day, please contact Sabrina Hughes or Brent Cottam. Volunteers will receive a reduced rate of five dollars on the pre-race dinner as well as a volunteer’s T-shirt with the race’s logo.

Utah Fox Trotting Horse Assoc. Enjoys Trail Ride NOTOM - On September 21 & 22, McLean and Judy Durfey hosted a trail ride for the UFTHA at Notom. Fourteen riders pulled their horse trailers into the pear orchard pasture at Notom.

The first day they went on a tour of Notom. Starting south on the Skyline trail which is just east of the Notom/Burr Trail Road, they got a panoramic view of the area. They turned west crossing Pleasant Creek and skirted Dead Man’s Wash. Eventually they reached the North end of Notom where they got to see and hear some history of Notom—old black boulder stone fences, remnants of stake and rider fences, a partial foundation and collapsed fireplace of the old Notom School House and the Notom Pioneer Cemetery. The trail ride that day was twelve miles in all.

The next day was the main event—up Pleasant Creek Canyon. It promised to be an enjoyable ride with blue skies, temperatures in the mid-seventies and a slight canyon breeze.

However they were in for a surprise, a big surprise. As they started up Pleasant Creek at the third crossing, suddenly without warning, there sitting in the middle of the Creek, apparently not expecting company, was a woman naked as a Blue Jay without feathers, taking a bath. She tried to cover up as best she could and was mostly successful while fourteen rid-

ers filed on past her. Eyes were straight ahead with not even a “Good morning, mama.” After that, all of the riders were very alert, but only wanting to view the scenery of rock formations for the rest of the trail ride.

And what magnificent scenery it was. Thousand foot white Navajo Sandstone ledges coupled with the fall shadows were spectacular. There was a quiet hush of serenity as the riders rode into the narrows of those ancient cliffs. After many crossings of Pleasant Creek they finally arrived at the pioneer ranch of Ephraim Hanks.

They ate lunch at the Fremont Indian petroglyphs and corn grinding slab and heard a short history of Ephraim Hanks. After lunch they headed back to Notom and let their Fox Trotting Horses do what they do best—travel fast and smooth.

Judy had a hot fruit and nut cake ready for them when they got back. The round trip was sixteen miles. Both days were great trail rides.

After the riders had loaded their horses one of the trail ride directors told McLean that they had voted and were pleased to announce that he was named trail riding host of the year.

Just as McLean was starting to get puffed up with pride, the director finished his statement by saying, “It wasn’t because of anything that McLean had done, but it was because of Judy’s fruit and nut cake.” Oh, well!!

Many Hands Make Light Work BOULDER - Monday, October 1 was a day filled with service for Escalante High School. The student body spent the afternoon in Boulder doing projects for the community. After attending morning classes, students, faculty and staff grabbed sack lunches and loaded onto buses for the trip to Boulder. When they arrived, they were divided into three groups: dumpster painting, weed pulling, and oiling. Each dumpster in town got a fresh coat of paint; the wood siding on the post office was given a much-needed dose of oil and the floor was mopped and windows cleaned; and the grounds of the community center were cleared of eight truckloads of weeds and debris.

After the work was complete, community members furnished salads and desserts, and the high school furnished hot dogs for a barbecue at the community center. The students arrived back in Escalante at 5:30. Though it was a hot day, the kids worked hard and seemed to take pride in the work that they were doing.

Afterward, Toree Talbot

said, “Boulder was pretty fun.

I learned that cleaning someone’s community can make the people feel happy. Even though cleaning definitely does NOT make me happy, I liked it.”

KrysTell Noyes echoed her sentiments. “Yesterday was a stupendous day! I think we should do more like it. We get to go do service, plus we get out of school for doing it. Bonus!”

Mayor Bill Muse said, “We were very happy with the interaction between the two communities. We were very pleased with the amount of work that was accomplished and with the way the kids conducted themselves. We would like to make this an annual event.” Principal Eugene King, who organized the event, noted the turnout and the amount of work that was accomplished.

He said, “The community of Boulder came out and worked alongside the students to make this project a success. We hope this is the first of many opportunities for the wonderful students of Escalante High School to work alongside those who help make Boulder a great place to live. —Stacy Davis

One of the many opportunities for viewing art at the Festival.

Escalante Canyons Art Festival cont’d from page 1

National Monument and surrounding areas earlier in the year and sharing their impressions of that experience.

The screening of Wilderness Song, a new documentary

by Lindsay Yeager focused on the Everett Ruess story, drew a large crowd on Friday morning. Yeager and film songwriter, Dan Bern, provided a Q&A session after the screening.

The 2012 Featured Artist was Brad Holt, a skilled painter who lives in Cedar City, has won numerous art awards throughout the southwest region, and has enthusiastically supported the festival from its inception nine years ago. An exhibition of his work was on display during the festival and a program focused on Holt’s work was included in the speaker series. Holt was also honored this year with the Artists’ Choice Award by his fellow painters, which includes a half page ad of his work in Plein Air Magazine.

A first for the festival this year was extending the enter-

tainment into the evening. On Saturday after the Awards Reception, Mary Kaye Knaphus, a Western Music Association award-winner from Manti, and festival favorites from Flagstaff, Dave McGraw and Crow Wing closed out the evening to an enthusiastic crowd dancing under the stars.

All events were free as the festival is supported by the generous donations of area businesses, residents, organizations, and local, state, and federal government partners.

The 2012 Escalante Canyons Art Festival Committee would like to give a heartfelt thanks to all the supporters, donors, volunteers, artists and festival-goers. The success of this wonderful event is only made possible by the efforts of many.

Remember to mark your calendars now for the festivals tenth anniversary. The 10th Annual Escalante Canyons Art Festival – Everett Ruess Days is scheduled for September 27 and 28, 2013.

Public Meeting Will Discuss Historic District Nomination for Escalante ESCALANTE - There will be a Public Meeting on Tuesday, October 16th, at 6PM, at the Escalante City Council chambers to discuss the nomination of the Escalante Historic District to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

Listing on the National Register is an honorific designation and provides recognition for historically significant properties.

It also is an educational tool meant to encourage understanding of our past and preservation of our historic buildings and sites.

There are many misconceptions regarding the National Register, most of them unfounded or mistaken with local historic district ordinances (which only a few major cities in Utah have).

No restrictions come with National Register designation.

Property owners retain all of their rights to maintain, alter, or demolish their buildings as they see fit.

No additional requirements are imposed, nor will property taxes increase as a result of National Register historic district designation.

Also, with listing in the Register comes an added potential community develop-

ment benefit: owners of contributing historic buildings (those that meet the age and historical integrity requirements) within the district may qualify for 20 percent savings on rehabilitation costs through state or federal Photo of Home restored by Steve Robincome tax credit erts is at the corner of Main Street and 100 W in Escalante, Utah programs.

October 1 Count October 1st is a very important day for school districts in the State of Utah. Every year on October 1st the Utah State Office of Education verifies the total number of students in each district. The numbers from the October 1st count determine the amount of funding each district will receive from the State of Utah. Each student enrolled in the district on October 1st will generate one WPU. The WPU represents the Weighted Pupil Unit. The WPU was started by the Utah State Office of Education in 1973. At that time, the WPU value for each student was $508; the WPU for 2011 was $2,816. The WPU has multiple sections one is called the regular WPU, this relates to the regular education students receive. The amount for the WPU is $2,842 for each student. This year the Garfield School District has an increase of 21 new students in the District on the October 1st count. This increase is the largest we have experienced in the District since 2003. I have included the K-12 student numbers for each school from 2001 to present.

BV CROSS COUNTRY

by Nathan Platt, Coach

A cross country meet was held in Escalante last Thursday. It was the last meet of the regular season, and the final meet for the Junior High boys and girls. The junior high course was one of the longest and most challenging in the region at over two miles. Our young team did well. Those receiving medals were Samantha Chynoweth (2nd), Danielle Brinkerhoff (5th), Austyn Brinkerhoff (9th) and Josh Brinkerhoff (10th). One of our top varsity runners, Adam Platt, was out with an ankle injury, but the other varsity boys had one of the best runs of the season, and took first place. The following varsity boys and girls were awarded medals: Chandlyr Tebbs (4th), Taryn Syrett (5th), Tanner Barton (7th), John Cloud (10th), Lizzy Platt (5th), and Ashlee Chynoweth (10th).

PHS SPORT SIDELINES

by Mack Oetting

PANGUITCH’S BOB CAT BASEBALL TEAM ROLLS TO ANOTHER STATE CHAMPIONSHIP. The Cats started off the week with a game on Tuesday against Tinic and an 11 to 1 win.

Chance Campbell was the winning pitcher and in the five innings struck out 9 batters. This got the Cats into the semis against West Ridge Academy. The Cats continued to roll to their 21st victory of the year 12-0. Dalan Bennett and Chance Campbell combined to no hit West Ridge in five innings, each pitcher giving up a walk. Dalan got into the record book for most pitching wins in a 1A career. Piute won their game against Tabiona 9-3 to win the other semi game.

The Bobcats have beaten their Region 20 rival Thunderbirds the last 11 times. The Birds came out fighting and took a 3 run lead in first inning and in the bottom of the first the Cats were three and out. This was something new to the Cats to be behind in any game, they won most of their games with shutouts. The second inning was a game changer, Piute did not score and with the Cats at bat, they scored 4 runs on only one hit, mostly on walks. Piute scored in the third to tie the score at 4. In the Cats half of the third they came alive and scored 5 runs to take a 9 to 4 lead. There wasn’t much action in the 4th and 5th innings with Piute scoring another run to make it 9-5. In the bottom of the 6th the Cats sealed it off, as the Cats scored some runs, Coach Barney put in some pinch hitters and did they come through and the Cats scored 6 runs to end the game and the Cats claimed their 4th State Championship in 5 years. Dalan got his name also in the record book for most pitching wins in one year. I believe the team will be losing 4 super seniors this year, however next years freshmen show a lot of promise. There were a lot of Panguitch fans enjoying the game and the sun. The shrimp tacos at Café Del Rio were to die for.

The Cross Country meet was over in Escalante this week. In Cross Country there are a number of rules that the runners have to abide by and one of these are you can only run in 8 races in a season and several of our runners had ran in several Sat. meets and weren’t there. This gave some of the younger runners a chance to do well. Last Tuesday (Oct 9th) was region, down at Valley and Mt. Carmel. This is the first race that all of the teams will not be hindered by other sports. Last years champs, Wayne Girls and Bryce Valley will again be tough. The Mt. Carmel race is run on the golf course and you can see the whole race and cheer your team on as it is three laps. The top three of four teams go on to State, that will be held at Sugar House Park on the following Wednesday and if you are a runner and your school does not have a team and if you finish in the top ten runners you get to participate. .

The Lady Cats had little problems with the Bryce Valley volleyball team on Wednesday night.

The Lions Club was busy picking up trash that evening and the games were over by the time I got there. The Lady Cats went up to Richfield where they played 8 matches and took second in the bronze bracket. These were great games to get the team focused for region, this years region will be out at Escalante and will be held on one day, October 19th. The Cats had a game last night against Valley and they travel up to Piute tonight for their last league game of the year. I don’t think the Cats have been beaten by a 1A team this year, but they are very young and you don’t know what to expect. I expect a win!!!

In Mrs. Wendy Potter’s first grade class she is using her jungle theme room to create oppertunities for art and writing projects, “We are writing very entertaining weekend windows.”, she said, “Ask a first grader about them, they are worth reading.” Mrs. Potter has been a teacher for 16 years now, after spending the last 14 years as the Special Education teacher she has moved to the 1st grade. When asked about her goals for this year Mrs. Potter said, “First grade DATES TO REMEMBER… is a transitional year. It is one of the most impor• Oct 11- (Today) Visit from author tant.

Mrs. Laura Brinkerhoff is also a first grade teacher. She has been teaching for 25 years in many different grades. Her goals for this year are to teach the new common core in a way that all of the students in her class will learn, “In first grade they will learn how to read, spell, do some handwrittting and math; along with other subjects.” She is also using the Study Island program in the computer lab, her students are working hard to pass off each objective. One of Mrs. Brinkerhoff’s favorite things is to, “Watch each student learn and grow in to this unique little person. Each child is different. I enjoy listening to their stories and experiences that they share with me.” Mrs. Brinkerhoff is excited about her students and their eagerness to learn, “We are having a fun year!”

Mrs. Blackburn, the new Kindergarten teacher, has been teaching for 16 years; in those years she has taught at every age group from 6th grade to Kindergarten. Her goals are to help students develop in reading, writing, and oral language; Mrs. Blackburn wants to encourage and challenge her students to develop skills with a balance of phonics based skills and literacy development. She wants her students to leave Kindergarten with a love of reading and writing, and learning, “So they can foster and sustain their interest and disposition to read and write for their own enjoyment.” Some of Mrs. Blackburn’s favorite things about teaching are, the look of children when they finally get a concept we’ve been learning and “I love holidays and how excited the students get.”

Mrs. Ashlee Jackson is the new all-day kindergarten teacher, she has been a substitute for a number of years, and this is her first year at Loa Elementary. Mrs. Jackson’s goal this year is to focus on letter and number recognition as well as phonemic awareness, “We are doing a lot of hands on activities… I feel that it will help them learn better and in a fun way.” Mrs. Jackson loves being in the classroom and helping the students achieve their best, “I love seeing them learn and grow as little people. It is a great thing to be a part of.”

Loa Elementary staff and the community council would also like to acknowledge and thank the individuals who have volunteered to be room parents this year; First grade: Mrs. Brinkerhoff- Wendy Nelson and Tracy Chestnut; Mrs. Potter- Jason Hinton, Lael McKillip and Tina Faddis. Second grade: Mrs. Liz Torgerson- Millie Edwards and Teri Leavitt; Ms. Davis- Nycole Durfey, and Breann Hallows. Third grade: Mrs. Libby Torgerson- Nichole Brown and Tammy Pace; Mrs. Williams- Debbie James and Tifanie Spencer. Fourth grade: Mrs. Barlow- Rachelle Williams and Hafdis Maw; Mrs. Ekker- Sarah Taylor. Fifth grade: Mrs. Brown- Christine Austin and Julie Jeffery; Mr. Ellett- Leisa Hilton and Raja Jones.

If you would like to be a room parent contact your child’s teacher and volunteer, help is always welcomed and needed. The Kindergarten classes also need room parents. I will be bold and say on behalf of the administrators, teaches, parents and students say, “We really appreciate your willingness to help in the classroom by donating your precious time and talents, Thank you!”

Answer Prayer: Connect With

By Cynthia KimballSomeone Today I met Robert* on a plane from Minneapolis to Las Vegas. He’d come from England and was on his way to Vegas to celebrate his 30th birthday. His wife, Emma*, had arranged the trip for him and even coordinated with his friends. Robert and Emma have almost a one year-old daughter. He’d always wanted to come to Vegas; so here he was, 3-hours away from checking off one of his bucket list wishes. Why am I writing about Robert? Because, I believe, that’s what we’re supposed to do; essentially connect with people and make them feel important. Add to that, find their strengths. What can I tell you about my 3-hour “meeting” with Robert? That he’s a dedicated husband and father. That he loves his family. That he’s a family man.

That he’s proud of his country. That he’s a working man.

That he’s a good person. By the end of our meeting, I actually felt like Robert and I were family. I believe we can feel this with anyone. Truly,

we all are, if you think about it, brothers and sisters. We just haven’t seen each other in a while. So, what do many families do when they haven’t seen each other for some time?

They ask things like, “How are you doing? How’s the family?

How’s work?”, etc. That’s basically what Robert and I did to one another. The best part? There were no hidden agendas. No ulterior motives.

How refreshing it is to know that good people like Robert exist. By the end of our meeting, even though I was sad to see Robert go, I was grateful that we had connected and that another confirmation of the goodness of people was made.

We never know if someone prayed for someone to reach out to them. We never know if they prayed to be acknowledged. We never know if someone prayed just for someone to merely say “hello” to them. We never know if someone prayed for confirmation of their existence. Therefore, let us all, work to assume the best in people, give them

the benefit of the doubt and work to find their strengths.

Yes, there’s a chance that Robert didn’t pray for any of these things, but there’s also a chance that he did. And if so, perhaps his prayers were answered. Nevertheless, mine were, since I had asked, that very morning, for someone to be placed in my path that I could learn from.

I challenge you to find someone to connect with today. It might be someone polar opposite from you; yet, be the one that was supposed to teach you something, for you to do the teaching or both.

How to find out? Take action.

Now. Today. Even this very moment. After all, the “Robert’s” are waiting. *Name changes Cynthia Kimball is a professional speaker and trainer through her company Every1Counts, LLC, and a doctoral student in Workforce Education Leadership.

Cedar City is Quilt City CEDAR CITY - Throughout the autumn months and into the winter, Cedar City hosts a diverse array of quilt exhibitions throughout the community. Beginning on October 15th, the Frontier Homestead State Museum opens Block

by Block: Stories of Common Threads. This exhibit explores the history and intimate nature of quilting by uncovering the personal stories they tell through the use of artifacts, interactive activities and the quilts themselves. The exhibit will run through December 31st with hours set as Monday

through Saturday, 9am-5pm.

Entrance fee is $3 per person, $1.50 for Iron County Residents. For more information about this exhibit, visit http:// www.frontierhomestead.org.

Continuing at Southern Utah University’s Braithwaite Fine Arts Gallery is the remarkable Everything in Between: Art Quilts, Fabric Collage & Embroidery. A vibrant world of fabric, color, fiber, creativity, the exhibit features the work of renowned international, national and regional artists. This spectacular collection will be on exhibit through

November 10. The Gallery is open Tuesday through Friday from noon until 7:00pm; and Saturday, 10am-7pm. Admission is free. For information about this exhibition and related events, visit http://www. suu.edu/pva/artgallery.

The Iron County Visitor Center, 581 North Main Street, has a special exhibit featuring a variety of quilts, including a “hands on” display. Some of the displayed quilts are available for purchase from Granny’s Quilts, while another display provides an opportunity to wield a needle and

Sometimes kids

are smarter than you think.

Kids say the darnedest, and smartest, things.

For instance, “Hey, mom and dad, call a certified heating pro.”

It’s that time of year. A certified heating contractor will ensure your furnace is operating as efficiently and safely as possible. The result?

Peace of mind, comfort, energy savings and fewer worries about how nasty winter can be.

Start with these five suggestions: 1. Replace your furnace filter. It’s only a couple of bucks, and can make a big difference in furnace efficiency.

2. Remove flammable/combustible materials from around your furnace. This is a rather obvious suggestion, don’t you think?

3. Give your furnace room to breathe. You know how when you blow on a fire, it burns better? Same principle applies here. Oh, and make sure your air vents, cold-air returns and heat registers are clear.

4. Install a programmable thermostat. Your furnace won’t have to work as hard while you’re asleep or at work and you’ll cut your energy costs.

5. Have your furnace inspected by a licensed heating contractor. After all, it’s easier (and cheaper) to maintain your furnace than to repair it. As part of a routine checkup to fine-tune your furnace for winter, most contractors will also perform a Green Sticker inspection to make sure your furnace is properly adjusted.

Thermism: Hey, if you were stuck in a tiny room in the basement all year, you’d like a visitor, too.

After all, furnaces have feelings and needs – just like any other blowhard.

To find a licensed heating contractor, refer to your telephone directory, search the web, or call the Rocky Mountain Gas Association toll-free, 800-729-6791.

Foreign Pizza

An American businessman goes to Japan on a business trip, but he doesn’t care for Japanese food, so he asks the concierge at his hotel if there’s any place around where he can get American food.

The concierge tells him he’s in luck, there’s a pizza place that just opened, and they deliver. The concierge gives the businessman the phone number, and he goes back to his room and orders a pizza.

Thirty minutes later, the delivery guy shows up to the door with the pizza.

The businessman takes the pizza, and starts sneezing uncontrollably. He asks the delivery man, “What on earth did you put on this pizza?”

The delivery man bows deeply and says, “We put on the pizza what you ordered, pepper only.”

try quilting. The Iron County Visitor Center is open Monday through Friday 8:30 am – 5:00 pm and Saturday and Sunday 9 am – 5 pm.

In conjunction with Everything in Between, the Braithwaite Fine Arts Gallery hosts a special two-week exhibition of Panels from The AIDS Memorial Quilt, October 8-20, 2012, created to commemorate the lives lost to AIDS over the last decades.

Panels from The AIDS Memorial Quilt will be on exhibit in SUU’s Hunter Conference Center on the second floor.

The Panels will be on view Monday through Saturday from 10am until 4:30pm; admission is free and open to the public.

For one weekend only, the Cedar Chest Quilters host a two-day exhibition of members’ masterful quilts at Cedar City’s Heritage Center Theater as part of the Cedar City Livestock & Heritage Festival. On Friday, October 26th, noon - 7pm, and Saturday, 10am - 5pm, the exhibit will be on display. Admission is free and open to the public.

Safety is a major concern at the manufacturing company where I work. So I’m constantly preaching caution to the workers I supervise.

“Does anyone know,” I asked a few guys, “what the speed limit is in our parking lot?”

The long silence that followed was interrupted when one of them piped up. “That depends.

Do you mean coming to work or leaving?”

Hooks

“What did you do this weekend?”

“I dropped some hooks into the water.”

“How was the fishing?”

“I wasn’t fishing; I was golfing.”

Personalized Plate

One of my customers at the Department of Motor Vehicles wanted a personalized license plate with his wedding anniversary on it. As we completed the paperwork he explained, “This way I can’t forget the date.”

A few hours later, I recognized the same young man waiting in my line. When his turn came, he said somewhat sheepishly, “I need to change the numbers on that plate application.”

Feeding the Animals

At a small zoo, visitors often ignored the many large signs that said, “Don’t feed the animals!”

The zookeeper did not want to impose fines so he tried a different approach.

He posted signs saying, “Feed the animals for only twenty dollars!” and suddenly no one wanted to.

Practical Money Matters

Get Ready for Medicare Open Enrollment

OBITUARIES Shanna Waite

by Jason Alderman

For senior citizens, the most important decision you will make this fall comes in the form of choosing the most appropriate Medicare coverage options for next year.

Medicare’s 2013 open enrollment period runs from October 15 to December 7, 2012. For most current enrollees, that’s the only time to make coverage changes for the coming calendar year (exceptions are made if you later move outside your plan’s service area, qualify for financial assistance or a few other situations).

Several changes to Medicare take effect in 2013, including: Medicare Part D participants who reach the so-called doughnut hole coverage gap will begin receiving a 52.5 percent discount on brandname prescription drugs and a 21 percent discount on generics, compared to 2012’s 50/14 percent rates.

Medicare will begin covering additional preventive and screening services, including assessments and counseling for depression, alcohol misuse, cardiovascular disease and obesity.

A redesigned Medicare Summary Notice, which explains what your doctor/ provider billed for, the Medicare-approved amount, what Medicare paid, and what you must pay.

Medicare also recently overhauled its website (www. medicare.gov), adding many new features and simplifying the language and site navigation. For example: The homepage now provides direct links for common tasks like applying for Medicare, changing plans, calculating costs, researching what different plans cover and more.

Search for whether a specific test, item or service is

covered under Original Medicare (Parts A and B).

Quick links to replace a lost Medicare card, find a Medicare Advantage (Part C) or prescription drug plan (Part D).

Find doctors and other health professionals, nursing homes, hospitals, home health services and health/drug plans, and make side-by-side comparisons of costs and care provided.

It can be accessed on mobile devices like tablets and smartphones, so you can seek information anywhere, anytime.

Briefly, Medicare provides health care benefits to people age 65 and older and those under 65 with certain disabilities or end-stage renal disease. For most people, the initial enrollment period is the seven-month period that begins three months before the month they turn 65. If you miss that window, you may enroll for the first time between January 1 and March 31 each year, although your coverage won’t begin until July 1.

To apply for Medicare online, visit www.ssa.gov/medicareonly.

Medicare plans and coverage options include: Part A—helps cover inpatient hospital, skilled nursing facility, hospice and home health care services.

Part B—helps cover doctor’s services, outpatient care and some preventive services.

It’s optional and has a monthly premium.

Part C (Medicare Advantage)—offers plans run

by Medicare-approved private insurers as alternatives to Original Medicare. Most cover prescription drugs and some include extra benefits at additional cost. You’re usually required to use the plan’s provider network.

Part D—helps cover the

cost of prescription drugs. It’s optional and carries a monthly premium. These privately run plans vary widely in terms of cost, copayments and deductibles and medications covered.

Some people also purchase additional Medigap (Medicare Supplemental) insurance offered by private insurers. It follows strict government coverage guidelines and helps pay for many items not covered by Medicare, including deductibles, copayments and coinsurance.

Understanding and choosing the right Medicare options can be complicated and time-consuming. For assistance, call 1-800-633-4227 or read “Medicare & You,” a highly detailed guide that explains Medicare in easy-to-understand language. It’s found at www.medicare.gov.

Respiratory Warnings on OTC Products Asthma Warnings If you have asthma, you should not use an anti-allergy product known as NasalCrom to treat it, as this product is only proven safe and effective for nasal allergy problems such as hay fever.

Those for hay fever include diphenhydramine (e.g., Benadryl), chlorpheniramine (e.g., Chlor-Trimeton), and clemastine (e.g., Tavist). These three active ingredients are also found in many combination products for the common cold, as are other ingredients of concern such as doxylamine (found in many Nyquil products). Motion sickness medications to avoid include dimenhydrinate (e.g., Dramamine), cyclizine (e.g., Marezine, Bonine For Kids), and meclizine (e.g., Bonine, Dramamine Less Drowsy). Nonprescription sleep medications to avoid include doxylamine (as found in some Unisom products) and diphenhydramine (e.g., Sominex, Nytol, and some Unisom products). Menstrual products to avoid include any containing pyrilamine, an antihistamine that does not have any proven effect on either premenstrual syndrome or menstrual cramps.

Advice for COPD The majority of patients with COPD got the condition from repeatedly breathing in irritants that caused the damage. While some people get COPD from air pollution or the workplace (in jobs such as coal mining, textile manufacturing, grain handling, and livestock farming), smoking is the number-one cause of both emphysema and chronic bronchitis. For this reason, it is vital to stop smoking before the damage gets even worse. Your pharmacist can help you choose nonprescription smoking cessation products, such as patches, gum, or lozenges. If they are not successful, visit your physician for prescription products such as Chantix that may be more effective.

Remember, if you have questions, Consult Your Pharmacist.

HURRICANE - Shanna Nelson Goulding Waite (90) of Hurricane and formerly of Henrieville, Utah, passed away September 24, 2012.

Shanna was born June 1, 1922 in Richfield, Utah to Junius Morten and Elizabeth Newton Smith Nelson. She married (later divorced) Robert Evans Hague, parents of Robert Lynn (Helayna) and Shana Jane (Alan) Rizzone. She married Nephi Wayne Goulding. They were parents to Ladora (Herbert) Baugh and Wayne J. Nephi receded her in death in 1977. In 2001, she met and married Jay Waite and they lived happily ever after sharing their lives with her children and his: Jay John, Roy Keith, and Shareen (John) Linton.

Shanna grew up in Cannonville, Utah and graduated from Tropic High School. As a young woman, she had a beautiful singing voice and was very athletic. She played a mean ragtime piano and had great talent in writing. After high school, she attended BAC (now Southern Utah University) pre-nursing school and earned a Registered Nurse degree from Holy Cross Hospital in Salt Lake City. After graduating, she was employed at the Panguitch LDS Hospital learning valuable life-long lessons in medicine. To avoid the shift work, she was awarded the position as Garfield County Health Nurse where she won the formidable title as The “Shot” Lady.

She returned to school and gained a bachelor degree in education from SUU and taught for the Garfield County School District for many years. After retiring, she served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Texas San Antonio Mission then a subsequent 12 year mission in the name extraction program in St. George. Her passion beyond her family was genealogy and learning - she was a lifelong student of the gospel. Throughout her life in various professional roles and numerous church callings she served faithfully, earning the love and respect of many.

Shanna is survived by her husband (Jay) and his children, her children, 12 grandchildren, 33 great-grandchildren, sister Lael (Ralph) Chynoweth, and sister-in-law Bonnie Willes Nelson.

She is preceded in death by her parents, her husband (Nephi), brothers; Thomas Junior and William, 2 great grandsons (Robert Dace and Deliverance Goulding).

The family expresses sincere gratitude to the attending nurses and doctors as well as the Priesthood and Relief Society of the Hurricane 11th ward. Also, we extend a special thanks to Wayne, JP, and Sheila for their love and compassion for Shanna.

Funeral services were Saturday, September 29, at 11:00 a.m. in the Hurricane 11th Ward LDS Chapel, 452 North 2600 West, Hurricane, UT. Interment is in the Toquerville City Cemetery, Toquerville, UT. Arrangements are under the care of Spilsbury Mortuary, St. George. Family and friends are invited to sign her guest book at www.spilsburymortuary.com.

Garfield County Youth Celebrate National 4-H Week October 7-13

ESCALANTE - October 7-13 is National 4-H Week, and Garfield County is celebrating the 4-H youth who have made an impact on the community, and are stepping up to the challenges of a complex and changing world. During this week 4-H youth will connect with the community

by Baking-and-Taking items to supporters of 4-H. If you are a 4-Her get involved by “Baking” a favorite goodie and “Taking” it to someone who has supported you in your 4-H experience (or has been a part of your 4-H revolution of responsibility).

Supporting those who have supported you is a great way to give service back!

“4-H has given my youth the opportunity to really find who she is and has helped direct her future life plans. I am so grateful for the 4-H program in Garfield County and the self-respect, responsibility, dedication and self-discipline

it has taught my child. Not to mention how often my child says she loves 4-H,” said an Escalante 4-H Member/Volunteer.

Recent findings from Tufts University’s 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development indicate that young people in 4-H are three times more likely to contribute to their communities than youth not participating in 4-H. Notably, the Tufts research discovered that the structured learning, encouragement and adult mentoring that 4-H’ers receive play a vital role in helping them actively contribute to their communities. In Garfield County, more than 179 4-H members and 41 volunteers are involved in 4-H. Also during National 4-H Week, hundreds of thousands of youth from all around the nation will complete a single, innovative experiment on 4-H National Youth Science Day, which will be held on Wednes-

day, Oct. 10, 2012. Bryce Valley and Escalante Elementary will be completing the experiment in Thursday October 11th as part of the 4-H Afterschool Program. The 2012 National Science Experiment, 4-H EcoBot Challenge, explores how robots can be used to preserve and protect the environment, while offering a glimpse into the future of science, technology, engineering and math.

4-H youth are a living breathing, culture-changing revolution for doing the right thing, breaking through obstacles and pushing our country forward by making a measurable difference right where they live. Learn how you can Join the Revolution of Responsibility at 4-H.org/revolution, or contact Cassie Lyman, Garfield County 4-H Assistant, at Garfield County, Utah State University Cooperative Extension, 435-826-4088, cassie.lyman@usu.edu —Cassie Lyman

Reports are that the Art Festival was very successful and bigger than ever. There will probably be other reports of it in this paper but congratulations have been extended to local artists Rick Howell who received the People’s Choice Award on his painting. Sannette Cottam got an Honorable Mention on hers and I always give Natalie Cottam my vote. She is getting better every year! She has had a good teacher in her mom, Sannette.

There may have been others I don’t know about, since I wasn’t here on Saturday. Lynn Griffin didn’t enter this year but had his own booth as a vendor.

The old high school gym was full of vendors. Quite a few of our local people, I hate to name names for fear of missing someone but they always have very nice things to sell. Michael Porter, son of former resident Vernon Porter, came from Blanding to set up a booth filled with beautiful ceramics. This is what he is doing now in his retirement years.

Marva Woolsey, daughter of Reed Woolsey, and her two daughters Julie and (my apologies, I can’t remember the other daughters name), were here. Marva was accompanied by her husband whose name I also don’t know. See, that’s why we need a register at the welcome sign as you come into town. We need to know who’s coming and going. Especially former residents that we do not get to see very often.

Doug and Jeanette Griffin Braithwaite have become tour guides. They brought a group with them during the Art Festival and were excited about the whole thing. Jeanette said some of those people were just awestruck with the beauty of our country around here. It IS

hard to beat! Doug also found time to paint a little while they were here. He is a great artist and we all loved getting to visit with Jeanette.

Steve Barney has been here with his parents, Lois and Ray Barney. He hunted, got a big buck and finished up his time here by fishing. Said he had a great time!

Jerry and Sherree Roundy have taken turns on the operating table lately. Sherree’s was a same day surgery and Jerry had another hip replacement.

They are both back home and we wish them a speedy recovery.

Terry Olsen is walking around on crutches. He had a bout with a manhole cover while he was on the job and the dang thing won. It landed on his foot and broke it in two places. We hope it will heal quickly.

Margean Schow received word last Friday that her grandson, Jason Stowe, had passed away in a highway accident. Jason was the driver of an oil truck. He is a son of Ronnie and Sydney Ann Stowe. He and his wife, Shaunell, are the parents of four children, ages 7 to 15. He will be buried in Peyton, Colorado. Our condolences to the entire extended family.

Bill and Linda Overall went to Salina to check on their son, Allen, who had been in a vehicle accident. He is apparently doing okay.

Jake Leibenguth was taken to the hospital by ambulance on Saturday evening.

Our condolences to the family of Shanna Nelson, Goulding, Waite, 90, formerly of Henrieville but had resided in Hurricane for a number of years. The mother of Rob, Helayna, Jane, LaDora and Wayne Goulding. Among other things she was our Gar-

field County Health Nurse at one time and a guardian angel to some of us. Yours truly included.

After 31 years, Arnold Alvey has retired from his Brand Inspections job. Robert Haws has accepted the job and for those of you who need a brand inspection he can be reached at 826-4859. Congratulations to Arnold. He has done a good job.

Some of us have been trying out a new pill on the market that is supposed to make you healthy (didn’t say anything about wealthy or wise) but it is even supposed to make you look younger.

Ben Porter asked Arnold if he had seen any changes since he started taking them and he said, “Well, I’ve been out raising my fences a little higher today ‘cause I didn’t want to be out there trying to jump over them.” Robert said he had been thinking of running the marathon this weekend! Yeah, Right! And if one of my old dance partners was still alive I would go out dancing with him! What dreamers we are!

Don’t forget the Spaghetti Dinner at the Pavilion on Friday evening, 12th, 5:30 to 7:00 P.M. $5.00 a plate for Marathon participants and $10.00 a

plate for everyone else. This is a fundraiser for the school. Try to come out and support them.

Tom and Marilyn Jackson have another new granddaughter. Her name is Mikenzie Isabella, her parents are JaNae and Michael Aston and she has a big sister, Kiera Elise. She was born on October 2, 2012.

They live in Texas. Congratulations to them!

Pauline Lott, her daughters, Elaine and Emilee and Valerie Sparks attended the Time Out For Women in Las Vegas. Pauline said it was very nice and they enjoyed it a lot. More of us ought to make plans to attend that in the future.

I stopped by the clinic last Friday to pick my pills up and Erica Woolsey was there. She gave me my flu shot. How neat that she and her mom, Sherri, have the opportunity to work together. It’s good to have Erica back home part time.

Ben and Renee Porter went to Provo again for Ben’s monthly shot. They came back to get things ready for winter as they will be staying in Provo when they go again. Ben says the six month stay up there is a lot longer than the six months they stay here!

BIRTHS

by Vicki D. Syrett 679-8687 or vickidiane36@hotmail.com

On Wednesday evening the ladies of Tropic and Bryce Canyon City joined in a festival of Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins, for an evening of fun, comraderie, delicious treats, and exchanges of decorating ideas. It was the Relief Society Fall Social.

We learned how to decorate pumpkins in fun new ways and how to make treats for our families using pumpkins. We also learned about different ways to serve pecans, walnuts, almonds, and pumpkin seeds.

They were very good. Then we shared goodies together and tried out each others recipes so we could add to our collections. Yummy stuff was there for the taking and we all enjoyed the good food. It was so good seeing everyone in such a friendly atmosphere and enjoying the time together. Thanks to the presenters and the Presidency for a wonderful night out.

It was also the night of the first Presidential debate and that in itself was very entertaining. I for one was delighted to see the friendly manner the two men involved handled themselves during and after the debate. But it was clear, to me at least, who was the leader in this particular debate. Remember everyone to vote this year. It is crucial to our very lives and freedoms to vote each election.

I mistakenly listed the Deseret Industries trailer in

the wrong location. Please note that it will be in the parking lot of the church until the 23rd of October. Sorry Marie, I just took the message wrong.

Be sure to take your items to the trailer before the 23rd.

There will be a Bryce Area “Flu Shoot-out” held on October 30th at Ruby’s Inn. It will be from 1-4 P.M. for all ages. Cost is $18 unless you have insurance that will cover the shot. For more information call 676-8800 or visit www.swuhealth.org.

There is no charge with Medicaid, Medicare, CHIP, PEHP, SelectHealth, Altius, DMBA, United Health, and Tall Tree.

Get immunized and help us test our capacity to handle mass vaccinations!

A reminder to patronize the “Mystery Market” until the end of October. The Fry Bread on Thursdays is absolutely wonderful and you can take it home and make your own Indian Tacos or have it with honey butter. There are many wonderful items for sale and you can find vegetables, fruits, fresh eggs, and so on if you stop in at the Heritage Center on the front lawn. This is to help with the Safe Sidewalk for the kids on Bryce Way and any help you can give is greatly appreciated.

See you there. PS...you can also get some great stocking stuffers there.

Please look in the paper for the articles from Erin

Hayden and Maren Stewart who are reporting the news from the High School and the Elementary. Both girls are doing a fabulous job and I appreciate their help with the news from the schools.

Marshall and Aubry Thompson and their three children have moved back home to Cannonville. They are going to live in the Glenda Feltner home. He is working for Bryce Valley Builders as their bookkeeper. We welcome this family back to our area.

A wedding shower was held for Montana Platt to help her celebrate her upcoming marriage and reception on October 13th in Henrieville. We send our congratulations out to them for a happy life.

The Thunderbolt Tang Soo Do club traveled to Mesquite to compete in the Annual Region Two Tournament for the World Tang Soo Do Association. It was held on the 29th of September and our kids did very well. Going along for the tournament were Eddie Garcia, Deegan Lamas, Caleb Cloud, Ben Cloud, John Cloud, Sam Cloud and Instructor Daniel Cloud. Deegan won his Little Dragon group. Caleb took third in Weapons division.

Ben took third in Sparring and won his Black Belt. Instructor Dan won 1st in Sparring in the Senior Division. All the team took part in the Creative Demonstrations. This class has earned four Black Belts over

time, with Sam Cloud being the first, Clay Wagstaff was second, John Cloud was third and Ben Cloud was the fourth to win this honor. Also part of the group are Alex Rauba and Korbin Ramsay. Instructor Dan won his Black Belt earlier on. Congratulations team on a great job. You should be very proud.

The Garfield Memorial Healthcare Foundation Dinner and Auction is this Friday at 6:00 p.m. at Ebenezer’s Barn and Grill in Bryce Canyon City. The Foundation raises money for Garfield Memorial Hospital and Clinics. We purchase equipment and services for the Hospital and Clinics that they are unable to purchase through their own budgets. These items include things like baby warmers, heart monitors, and ultrasound wands. Last year we made over $16,000 and we’re hoping to break that record. Please come to the dinner and support your local Healthcare Foundation! Tickets are $20 and include the dinner and door prizes. In addition, there is a silent auction and a live auction featuring our own Stetson Mangum. Prizes include a nice rifle, binoculars, large screen TV, and more.

Well Conference was once again special and enjoyable. Hope everyone has a great week and will email or call in your news.

the overhaul of the City Park.

Life’s trials are all about peaks and valleys and it is what you do when you reach your peak and what you do to stay there.

Way to go!

The high school swimming pool is now in the City’s hands. The City built the pool over 30 years ago and turned it over to the school when they chose to use a wall on the pool to build the high school, the City has the first right to the pool if the school decided to close it. I did not know that, nor had I seen anything to make me believe that the City had the pool back. The City now has a lot of options on what to do with the pool and that area; they will meet with the school board and hope to come up with ideas what to do with it. Yes the pool has been closed for a year now but what will happen to the pool is up to the City, I think! The pool has been a great asset to the school kids throughout the County. Swimming lessons have been taught to between two and three hundred kids each summer, that is a lot of kids over a 30 year period.

Panguitch Senior Center HOT LUNCH PROGRAM

high school, redid Main and Center St. and the Triple C Arena; all in a four year period.

Both of these endeavors proved to be successful and brought both Ruby’s and Panguitch out of the Valleys.

Both had to put up with the naysayers, “oh you are putting us into debt, you are going to bankrupt our business, I am a fifth generation resident and I like things the way they are.”

The gist of this story is not what you do to get out of the valleys, but what you do after you reach your peaks. Never loose sight of what got you there and don’t settle for status quo. This is where Ruby’s shines, they have continued to add to their business, (I won’t use dates because I’ll get them wrong) an Old Town, another Hotel, the Grand Hotel, Ebenezer’ Barn, additional RV sites, new fire stations, ATV rides and horses. Ruby’s is riding the crest of their peak and haven’t forgotten what got them there.

Mayor Talbot is not willing to sit there and just pay the bills; she and the Council are starting on the City’s first endeavor in many years with

535 W. Main Escalante, UT

Allen, to be among such an elite group. She teaches K-6 in Antimony and her students usually score very high in the district.

The Lions Club was out doing their semi annual highway cleanup last Wednesday night. Many thanks to those that took part and for the three FCCLA Girls that came to our rescue.

Many thank’s to the Gentleman out a Ruby’s Inn who gave me all of the information on all the property tax that Ruby’s pays to support the School system in Garfield Co. This will give me something to write about this week, using Ruby’s as an example (hoping I won’t upset anyone there).

Recently I listened to a motivation CD on Peaks and Valleys in your life. Ruby’s and Panguitch at about the same time (in the early 1990s) suffered disasters that put them both in the deepest of Valleys.

Ruby’s lost their lodge to a fire and Panguitch saw their sawmill close. Many jobs were lost from both events.

Ruby’s rebuilt their lodge on a much larger scale and added many more rooms. Panguitch, thanks to a very progressive Mayor, City Council and interested volunteers also attacked the problem. By putting in natural gas, a sewer system, replacing an antiquated water system, a fire station, baseball complex, running track at the

BLIND COYOTE TRADING POST

Wouldn’t it be grand if the wind didn’t blow in October and November so we could keep these great autumn colors for a little longer? Fall is my favorite time of the year, but it is so short.

Tomorrow October 12 is the Garfield Memorial Healthcare Foundation annual dinner and auction. It will be held out at Ruby’s Ebenezer’s Barn and is a fun evening. You can purchase tickets at Ebenezer at the door. The Healthcare Foundation has contributed thousands of dollars to the Hospital, the dinner and the Thrift Store is their main ways to raise these funds. Many thanks go to all of the volunteers who take part in these endeavors to make this such a big success.

Paula Palmer’s bake sale was sold out in an hour and she could have used more cookie donations.

Open letter to WCBA membership from Brian Swanson

Brian Swanson’s term as Past President and Board Member ends on October 24, 2012 and the WCBA board expresses their appreciation for his years of service on behalf of the businesses in the county.

Dear Wayne County Business Association Members: As the founding President, I would like to review the remarkable history of our group and the achievements we have accomplished together. In 2004 a nonprofit 501c3 was formed for the purpose of marketing tourism for Wayne County. Tourism was the brightest feature of a local economy that had remained frustratingly stagnant for many years. We wanted to focus on taking advantage of Wayne County’s unique attractions as a

Page 11

In our first year we accomplished a lot: New Bylaws, quick guide, newsletter, member profiles, website, town meetings, member surveys, and a draft list of projects. Some projects were worked on and dropped, such as the water conservation program. Others have come to fruition, such as the pedestrian/bike trail now being pursued by the County.

Take a look at the present Business Guide as an example of a great success.

Since those early days the WCBA has grown and stabilized, partnering with the County and other nonprofits to become the “Go-To” organization that gets things done. Our early vision of a “light on its feet” group that is responsive to its members has been realized. We way to boost local businesses and jobs. have demonstrated how hard work, We were very successful in this endeavor, cooperation, and creativity can benefit multiplying our budget over the years and our community. reinvesting in further outreach.

Do-It-Yourself Legal Forms

By Jeffery J. McKenna

An avalanche of do-ityourself legal forms has descended upon us lately, spun out by people anxious to make money “helping” you. The fact is that such forms can be extremely risky to use. The most popular forms are “end-of-life documents” -- wills, estate planning forms, living wills, or “delegation documents,” giving certain tasks to another person when you’re incapacitated or otherwise unavailable.

These include powers of attorney (medical and financial) and naming a guardian for minor children. There are some advantages to using do-ityourself forms. You can save legal fees and can sometimes handle a matter faster than a lawyer would. Forms are usually in plain English rather than “legalese.” They can be customized by striking out irrelevant information or adding extra clauses.

However, there are many more disadvantages. The biggest pitfall is a false sense of security. It looks so simple -just pick a form, gather infor-

mation and fill in the blanks.

But few forms come with enough explanation to assure the user that he or she is using the instrument in the right way. And many “legal forms” are contracts, with power to bind you to a commitment you may not want. Sometimes it is just plain foolhardy to use do-it-yourself Estate Planning kits. It could cost far more to unravel the problems they can cause than it would to hire a good Estate Planning attorney in the first place. One size does not fit all, particularly in regard to Estate Planning.

Another reason to look beyond the “do-it-yourself” forms is if you own enough assets to have estate or income tax issues. Few middle class clients know whether they need tax planning or not because they don’t know what property is counted or how to value it. Examine tax issues in detail, or consult an Estate Planning attorney who can look at your individual situation and let you know your individual issues. Legal forms should make your life easier, not harder. Use them appropriately, and don’t let your quest to avoid legal fees cloud your judgment. If you’ve taken a good portion of your lifetime to accumulate assets, it’s worth going to an attorney to make sure that the beneficiaries you want to get your assets get them wih the least amount of hassle and family strife.

Jeffery J. McKenna is an attorney licensed in three states and serving clients in Utah, Nevada, and Arizona.

He is a partner at the law firm of Barney, McKenna and Olmstead, with offices in St. George and Mesquite. He is a founding member of the Southern Utah Estate Planning Council.

by Erin Hayden We’re already over a month into a new school year!

It’s crazy how fast time can fly! With the new school year clubs have started up as well.

FCCLA has started up again as well as Debate, FFA, Sterling Scholar and Upward Bound.

This year there will be a new club. Mrs. Neilson is going to be the adviser for FBLA. (Future Business Leaders of America) Monday, October 1st, was National Stomp out Bullying day. To raise bully awareness and “stomp” out bullying, students wore blue shirts. (Blue is bully awareness color.) It was great to see the turnout. Most of the school was wearing blue.

On the 13th of October, our PTA is putting on a region dance for all high school students. The theme is “Zombie Prom”. It’s a good opportunity to make new friends and have a great time! The dance starts at 8pm and ends at midnight up at Ebenezer’s Barn. It will be $8 a person or $15 a couple.

On October 16th the 8th graders will be going on a tour to SUU and SWATC. On October 18th and 19th there will be no school for UEA weekend. School will also not be held the following Monday for Harvest Day. Keep in mind that October 26th is the end of the quarter.

In honor of our heroes, Miles and Jesse, the junior class has been selling car stickers in their honor. Small $3, large $5.

I know they’’ve sold a lot so get them now to remember our angels.

Well that’s all I have for this time, see ya next week!

Vote the person, Not the party!

You can vote for any candidate in a general election, not just those from your own party. Independents and 3rd Party candidates work BOTH sides of the aisle to bridge the divide between polarized factions and promote creative, win-win solutions. That’s why I'm running as a 3rd Party candidate.

Our rural towns are being hit much harder by this recession than the Wasatch front. Our challenges must be addressed with solutions that work for everyone. I will push for policies that enhance our schools, educate our work force, & grow our businesses. I’ll push to recruit compatible American companies to relocate to our counties with yearround, good paying jobs & benefits. I’ll also work alongside county commissioners to lobby the BLM & Forestry for specific exemptions so local logging operations can remove fallen trees, scorched timber, and trees in fire-break areas in lieu of current “prescribed burns.” And much more. Our families deserve better!
