2011 STATE 1-A BASEBALL CHAMPIONS
The Panguitch Bobcats appeared Tuesday afternoon at the UVU Baseball Stadium Tuesday convinced and prepared to take home the 2011 State 1-A Baseball title… and that is exactly what they did. On Monday, The Wayne Badgers defeated the Region 18 Champs Tabiona (17-2) in the 5th inning to secure their spot for the title, and Panguitch defeated Region 17 Champs West Ridge Academy (17-9) for their spot. Panguitch split season wins with the well rounded and undefeated Region 20 Wayne Badgers, but this time up, the Bobcats carried home the title by defeating the Wayne Ball Club 10-1. The Bobcats came out determined to fight, scoring one run in each of the first three innings, while holding Wayne to no hits and no runs until the fifth. There the Bobcats rallied another five runs. The Bobcats played very well as a team on offense with 14 hits,. For a while it appeared as though Panguitch pitcher, Bennett would have a no-hitter until late in the sixth inning. The Badgers loaded the bases a couple times, and the Bobcats defense was solid enough to shut the door on Wayne. Both of these teams dominated this years’ state 1-A competition, and both teams appeared to peak at the end of the season. The Badgers had a rough time in the final game with errors while the Bobcats turned these into successful opportunities to put the game away. Congratulations to the Bobcats and the coaching staff for keeping their heads together, and working as a team. You have made Panguitch Proud!

UTAH’S PAST AND PRESENT by Mrs. Gayle Moore and Mrs. Vicki D. Syrett
If you know a fourth grader in the Garfield County School District then you’ve already heard the news of how “Awesome” this year’s Utah Past and Present, Intrigue of the Past, program was! Actually, this was the 23rd year that Mrs. Vicki Syrett has coordinated this annual event that brings experts from the community and government agencies to fourth grade students and gives the students a hands on, small group, experience that builds their understanding of the Utah Science Core and Utah’s Past and Present. Bryce Valley Elementary hosted 90 fourth and some third grade students for this
year’s workshops on October 5th and 6th. The presenters were Megan Keller from Anasazi State Indian Park, Flo Yearsley from Fremont Indian State Park, and Liz Lampe from Kodachrome State Park. The NHA from Bryce Canyon National Park are a big support and they sent Marilyn Bulkley, Shawn Duffy, and Betty Fox. Betty Fox had built a Piute Indian “Kahn” that the students could go inside and it was a big hit with the students. The BLM office of Escalante sent Dave Mecham, Chuck Klaus, and Larry Glickman. Mrs. Lowe from Antimony Elementary was the storyteller and Arta Hepworth taught the students about quilting and got them started hand sewing quilt blocks together. Pipe Springs National Monument participated this year for the first time with Stephen Rudolph, and LeAnn Shearer. LeAnn Shearer is a Paiute and she and her sister provided valuable understanding and experiences to the students in the Paiute language, bead
work, traditional clothing, and uses of native plants. She also taught them a couple of nursery rhymes and counting in the Paiute language. They loved it.
Another “Delicious” tradition of the Utah Past and Present is the Indian Taco lunch at the Tropic Park. Arta Hepworth makes authentic indian fry
bread and the students are served by the teachers and parent helpers. Thanks to Ruby’s Inn Restaurant and Clark’s grocery store for their support with the lunch. The Utah Past and Present program raises it’s own funding each year and we appreciate each com-

munity and the local businesses for their support of students’ education. The finale on Wed., was Martin Tyner and his “Birds of Prey.” Mr. Tyner taught the whole B.V.E. student body along with the fourth grade students about raptors and he brought three of them with him to introduce to the students. Mr. Tyner has traveled from Texas to California with his golden eagle, Scout, and the students were impressed with his stories of animal rescue and respect for these magnificent birds. He has written a wonderful book that tells of his overcoming his fear of birds and
how that led to his becoming the healer of critters, especially birds. This event also takes place in the Piute School District. This year is happened on the 25th and 26th of September in Circleville at the Elementary school
there under the direction of Janetta Dalton, fourth grade teacher and Principal of the school. Presenters there this year were Flo Yearsley of Fremont Indian State Park, Stephen Rudolph, Gene Roggenkamp, Butch Roggenkamp, Evan Cram, and Brittani Wero all of Pipe Springs National Monument on the Utah-Arizona borderline. Arta Hepworth also took part and she helped the students and teachers make fry bread and quilting. Marilyn Bulkley, Shawn Duffy and Betty Fox also participated from NHA at Bryce Canyan National Park. A special reader of Native American stories read to the students in one of the groups and they loved the stories. Some of the subjects that the students learned were about how the Atlatl was used to hunt food, Flint Knapping, Textiles of the times, the Fremont Indians and their food, Natural Plants they crushed and put into a little bag, beading of the Paiute Indians, quilting as the pioneers used to make quilts, stone cutting, fossils with actual fossils to look at and feel, dinosaurs and how we hunt for their fossils today with an actual dinosaur bone to see, the Paiute Indians and the Anasazi Indians, and archaeology. Some very interesting hands on took place and they all had a chance at each station during the two days. Interest for this type of study came from a course Mrs. Syrett took at the University of Utah called Intrigue of the Past 25 years ago. It instilled a great interest to teach the ideas to the students and help them understand our past and how it reflects on our present. It has been a great experience.
I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it. Dwight D.

PANGUITCH SPORT SIDELINES Its State Baseball time and the games have been moved to Monday and Tuesday, because of the weather. Last Tuesday the Bob Cats played Tinic up at Spanish Fork. They came away a 8 to 2 winner, Dallon Bennett the pitcher struck out 12 of the 18 players he faced to get the win. The good thing about the postponed games is that a pitcher can pitch 14 innings in a week. The Cats face West Ridge on Monday, a team that has beat them twice early in the season, but the games were close and West Ridge has lost a number of their starters. Well if you heard the sirens on Tuesday, you’ll know what happened. Regardless of the outcome, the Boys in Blue have had a great season, winning all but 4 games in the season, their Coaches really put in a lot of work to bring them to this level. The Cross Country teams had good efforts over in Milford. The exciting race of the day was the 7th and 8th graders. There were six runners clumped together at the end and Whitney Orton came in second, just an eye lash
BY MACK OETTING behind the boy winner from Escalante. Whitney is really something I can’t wait to see her run against Varsity runners next year. This was the 7th and 8th graders last race and most of them came away with medals and the boys took 1st and the girls 2nd behind Bryce Valley. In the Varsity race again the BV Mustangs came away with first place, but the Bob Cats closed the gap down to only 6 points. Most of the girl runners were playing volleyball and cheer leading at the high school. All of the runners are just doing better each week and keep lowering their times, Rowdy Miller has cut 13 minutes off his last years time. The League Meet at Valley has been postponed to this Thursday, because of the change in the State Baseball. We could pick up some runners from the ball team and also from the Volleyball team. The meet is held on the Mt Carmel golf coarse, its is a good place, because you can see the whole race. I forgot that down in the race in LaVerkin, in all that heat, Catania Holman, running in her first race took second over all, just behind the winner from
Canyon View. Catania is just a freshman. Next week the State Finals will be held at Sugarhouse on the 19th . The Lady Cats keep on rolling, this week they again took out the two opponents in three games. They traveled up to South Sevier (a 2A team) and had a pretty easy time with them. The next night The Diamond Ranch Lady Diamondbacks came to town, they are a new team in our league. The results were the same with the Cats taking them out in three games. Tonight they are supposed to play Escalante but with the other changes I am not sure. However on the 14th and 15th they are playing in the Sevier Valley Tournament, this is a real good tournament to find out how good you are, with many 2-A and 3 A teams there. I haven’t been able to find out how the Cats stand in the State or how good Rich is this year, maybe by next week I can report on this. The Lady’ have one more league game left against Bryce Valley on the 25th and them they are off to State on Oct. 28 and 29th.

THANK YOU
HEIDI
A long over due thank you needs to be offered to Wayne High basketball coach, Heidi Woolsey. Heidi has coached at Wayne High for 20 years and has made a positive impact in the lives of the students she has coached. She has a true passion for her players and positively pushed them to reach their full potential. Being a coach requires a lot of time commitment. Ever since I have been associated with Heidi I have observed her willingness to go above and beyond her required duties as a coach. She not only has a passion for athletics, but a passion to teach her player the life skills they will need to be successful in their future. Wayne High School and the Wayne County community have positively impacted by the efforts of Heidi Woolsey. Jessica Grundy

BRONCS WIN FIRST PLAYOFF GAME Despite chilly temperatures and a bit of snow, a crowd of about 150 football fans watched their Broncs beat Fredonia to take the first game of the High Desert League playoffs. The Broncs started off strong, scoring 2 touchdowns in the first minutes of the opening quarter. The Broncs were able to capitalize on a Fredonia fumble for the first touchdown. The Broncs recovered the fumble on Fredonia’s 13-yard line, and running back Conner Rees ran the ball 13 yards to score on the very next play. Fredonia was able to stop the Broncs from scoring the extra points. The Broncs’s Justin Hunt kicked an onside kick, and Daniel Evans recovered for the Broncs, giving Wayne possession of the ball in order to set up the next scoring drive. Quarterback Zane Taylor put together an impressive drive, moving the ball 43 yards in 8 plays. Running back Anthony D’Andrea scored the touchdown on a 5 yard run to make the score 12-0. The extra points attempt again failed. The Wayne Broncs put together another impressive drive to score again in the 4th Quarter. The drive started on the Wayne 10-yard line, when the Broncs defense stopped Fredonia and the Broncs took over on downs. The Broncs offense went to work and moved the ball 90 yards in 19 plays. D’Andrea took the ball over the goal on a 1-yard run to cap off the drive with a touchdown and make the score 180. The extra points attempt failed. Fredonia was able to prevent a shutout with a score late in the 4th Quarter, and scored the extra points, to make the score 18-8. Fredonia attempted an onside kick, but the Broncs’s Barlow Pace caught the line-drive kick

By Cynthia Kimball Recently a friend of mine had his car “booted”. I never knew what that was until I actually saw these so called “boots” put on two of his tires. And all because he backed his car into a parking lot, unbeknown to him, that didn’t allow this kind of parking. Yup, you can’t back your car in this particular parking lot. Not even to unload for a few minutes as he was doing with luggage. Worst of all, there weren’t even any unloading parking spots. But when the “boot man” came to unlock the boots to a tune of $125, we asked him about his customer service. You know, the kind that does not provide a warning before booting. “I’m not in the business of customer service,” he said. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. So I said, “You’re not in the business of customer service?” “That’s right,” he said. “You aren’t my customer.” I don’t believe I’ve ever heard a company say they
Be in the Business of Customer Service
weren’t in the business of customer service. Yet his interactions with my friend and I clearly demonstrated that he was in fact right about him not being in the business of customer service. Truly, he was one of the rudest people I have ever met. He was clearly in the business of being a cash cow. See, if he gave you a warning, he wouldn’t make as much money as he could without that warning. Smart cookie, he was, I’ll give him that. Doing the right thing? No way, as a matter of fact, he loses HUGE points in my book on that one. I won’t therefore call him a dumb cookie, but you get the point. He must have never heard of Wal-Mart founder, Sam Walton’s, words, “The goal as a company is to have customer service that is not just the best, but legendary.” The only legendary was his bad service. Certainly one that will not be forgotten. The owner of the property where the “booting” occurred was no help
either. “It was in the contract you signed,” she told my friend. Then she turned to one of her employees, putting her on the spot in front of a room full of people and said, “You told him that right?” To which the employee replied, “Of course I did,” (even though she hadn’t). If you are in business, but you say, “We’re not in the business of customer service,” learn to be, even if you’re in the business of writing tickets (as my friend was). And as you do, keep in mind the words of Walt Disney, “Do what you do so well that they will want to see it again and bring their friends.” Cynthia Kimball is a professional speaker and trainer through her company Every1Counts, LLC, and a doctoral student in Workforce Education Leadership.

PRAYER
2004 (c) The National Healthy Marriage Institute LLC
You have probably heard the saying, “The couple who prays together stays together”. How can the simple act of praying together have a beneficial impact on your marriage? Part of the answer lies in what takes place when a couple prays together. Usually a couple is touching each other either by holding hands or kneeling next to each other. This creates a sense of physical closeness. While one spouse offers the prayer, the other spouse has the opportunity to listen to the concerns and gratitude of his or her spouse. This process creates emotional intimacy as thoughts and feelings are expressed that otherwise may not have been heard. Creating physical and emotional intimacy only explains partially the benefits of couple prayer. The real power of couple prayer comes from the act of opening the door of your marital relationship to the influence of a higher power. The influence of this higher power has the ability to heal wounds in marital relationships that individuals may not have been able to heal on their own. The influence of this
higher power has the ability to inspire us with solutions to marital conflicts we may have otherwise never come up with. The influence of this higher power has the ability draw us closer together as a couple than we would have on our own. With all these benefits of prayer, why don’t more couples pray together? Some fear their spouse will say no and make fun of them. Fear often paralyzes us from taking action. If this describes your situation, then stop allowing fear to determine your actions. Explain to your spouse how much it would mean to you to pray together on a daily basis. There is a good chance he or she will say yes. Some couples do not pray together simply because they don’t know how. Offering a sincere prayer is a simple process. Prayer is the expression of your hopes, wants, fears, and needs, along with expressions of gratitude to a higher power. When should you pray together? The most important time to pray together is when you don’t feel like it. Often when we are upset with our spouse, the last thing we
want to do is pray together. Yet this is when the healing power of prayer can benefit us the most. Establish a regular time to pray together as a couple. The greatest impact of prayer comes from praying together on a daily basis. Over time most couples find prayer brings them closer together than almost any other practice. Write down the obstacles keeping you from praying with your spouse on a regular basis. When you have a quiet moment, say a prayer and ask for guidance on how you can overcome these obstacles. By overcoming these obstacles and beginning the practice of saying sincere prayers with your spouse, you will experience more joy and happiness and less pain and misery in your marriage.

MENT EMPLOYEES
A fellow stopped at a rural petrol station and, after filling his tank, he paid the bill and bought a soft drink. He stood by his car to drink his cola and he watched a couple of men working along the roadside. One man would dig a hole two or three feet deep and then move on. The other man came along behind and filled in the hole. While one was digging a new hole, the other was about 25 feet behind filling in the old hole. The men worked right past the fellow with the soft drink and went on down the road. “I can’t stand this,” said the man tossing the can in a trash container and heading down the road toward the men. “Hold it, hold it,” he said to the men. “Can you tell me what’s going on here with this digging?” “Well, we work for the county, “ one of the men said. “But one of you is digging a hole and the other fills it up. You’re not accomplishing anything. Aren’t you wasting the county’s money?” “You don’t understand, mister,” one of the men said, leaning on his shovel and wiping his brow. “Normally there’s three of us-me, Rodney and Mike. I dig the hole, Rodney sticks in the tree and Mike here puts the dirt back. Now just because Rodney’s sick, that don’t mean that Mike and me can’t work.”
GOVERNMENT SPENDING
Due to increasing criticism about excessive governmental spending and bloated bureaucratic budgets, we are immediately scaling back to only basic essentials. Therefore effective immediately the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.
GOVERNMENT IN ACTION 1
The General Services Administration has experts who actually visit different agencies and suggest ways to streamline their day-to-day routines. One such expert visited the Federal Communications Commission and suggested that they get rid of the clutter. He suggested as a start, that they throw out all correspondence over ten years old. The FCC Director loved the idea, and replied, “Good thought. but first, we’ll have to make three copies of everything.”
GOVERNMENT IN ACTION 2
The Washington DC City Council, though stripped of just about all political power, still meets. At one meeting, the status of fireplugs around City owned buildings was discussed. They directed that all fireplugs adjacent to City owned buildings be tested at least three days prior to every fire.

FYI PANGUITCH By: Mack Oetting ~ E-mail: mackoetting @gmail.com I guess I don’t have to tell you how fast the weather can change, all you had to do was go outside and you could tell by watching your breath. An aftermath of Thursday’s storm was that highway 14, the road to Cedar, will be closed for some time. There was a humongous slide 800’ long, so don’t go that way to Cedar for some time. This really cuts off the towns along the southern part of 89. The good news is that traffic will have to go through Panguitch to get to Bryce Canyon and maybe they will stop and spend some money. This is that time of the year, when the adult tourist come to visit our area (from Labor Day to Oct. 15) and for some reason it stops, just as quick. It is good to see many of the Motels in Town with no vacancy signs out. This Friday (October 14th) there is a couple of events. This years Annual Garfield Hospital will be held out at Ebenezer’s Dinner theater at Ruby’s Inn. The last few years it has been held at the Fair grounds building and it is in use, as everyone knows. If you haven’t been to Ebenezer, it is a beautiful building. The festivities start at 6pm and there will be a buffet, fashion show and a live auction. You can call Lynne Neilson at 676-1262 for tickets, or buy them at the door. The Panguitch Lions Club will be hosting the Southern Utah Lions Club Winter Convention. It will start with a welcoming dinner at the Social Hall on Friday and continue on Saturday, with meetings and a Governors luncheon in the afternoon. All the Lions
in the County are invited, as well all of the Clubs throughout the State. When I went out to drive the shuttle at the Park on Monday, I realized that I had made a mistake on Ruben Syrett name in last week’s column, its RUBY’S not Rubies. It also was brought to my attentions at the cross country meet in Milford, I guess I could blame my English Teacher, but I won’t. Ruby’s, this last summer employed 650 people and many of them are from Panguitch and as such are really a big part of Garfield Counties financial wellbeing. A long with the new fire station, Ruby’s is (I believe) adding 160 more camping sites to their resort. Charlene Ancira who has taken an accountants job in Idaho, only quit her lunch lady job, she is still running the Care and Share. Her job with the breakfast program is still open, but not the Care and Share. The Seniors last Friday went down to visit the Dinosaur Museum in St. George. This is really an interesting place and how it came about. Johnson was clearing off the area for a housing project, when he turned over a large piece of sand stone, only to find three foot prints imbedded in the stone. To think these monster animals roamed this area millions of years ago is hard to believe. Because much of the area was like it is now a desert and the animals would fall over where they died, none of these skeletons were found. The Museum has a cost of $4.00 so it is a good place to visit. Hope you read the latest City information paper. All
the work that will go into the Park is badly needed. New restrooms, repairs to the pavilion and the grandstands at the race track are all welcome additions. The Lions Club also donated money to the City to help out on their efforts to obtain a CIB grant. The Court House is coming alone nicely, repairing the older section is a massive undertaking, replacing windows, adding bricks where needed and replacing the roof are completed. Across the street at the Alan and Jennie Henries’ home is almost complete and they are hoping to be in by Nov. 1st On a recent local field trip, Ms Caine’s CTE 7th grade and the H.S. Photography class visited the “Native Wind” Art Studio (next to Henrie’ drive in). They saw oil and water color paintings by Jorli Perine. They got a demonstration on how to use the Ellison dye cut machine for art and other projects. Ms Caine has one of these machines on loan in her class room. The Students also visited Veda Hale’s Art Gallery where Mrs. Hale gave the student insight to her paintings and photography and treated the students to some beef jerky treats. Many thanks to Marian Willard for her mega donation of scrapbook paper to the Panguitch School’s for creative art projects. Don’t for get the great Flu Shoot Out, next Thursday the 20th. It will be held at the fire station. Most health insurance will take care of the cost, you might also think about getting a pneumonia shot and that also is covered by Medicare. That’s all folks, Mack O

OBITUARIES Doug Jensen Panguitch, Utah
Douglas Blaine Jensen, 82, passed away Wednesday September 28, 2011, at home in Panguitch of natural causes. He was born November 20, 1928, in Salt Lake City to Franklin and Sarah Maude Jacobs Jensen. They lived in Salt Lake City until he was 13 when they moved to Richfield, then Spanish Fork and finally to the ranch in Huntington, where he met and married Nida Mae Howard, May 1, 1948 in Huntington. She preceded him in death March 19, 2000. Doug’s love for driving big trucks began while driving his father’s livestock to market. Doug continued his love for driving into owning his own trucking company. While driving truck Doug received the name Dittybop. Doug and Nida Mae had two daughters, but also opened their home to help raise several nieces and nephews and take care of both of their mothers. Doug enjoyed making people laugh and he usually had a funny story to tell or little ditty to sing. He had a unique nickname for everyone and he loved to tease. He is survived by his daughters Nida Diane (John) Houston of Panguitch and Catherine Mae (Eugene) Anderson of Centerville; 7 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife Nida Mae and nine brothers and sisters. Graveside services and interment will be held Saturday, October 1, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. in the Panguitch Cemetery.

James William Maples
On October 5th, 2011, at 11:55am, James William Maples (86), also known as “Cowboy Jim” to his friends, and “Pops” to his family, passed away peacefully at his home in Hatch, Utah. He is fondly remembered for his entertaining stories while stoking the fire and pouring some coffee. His adventures while growing up in Missouri rivaled the tales of Huckleberry Finn. When he was a young man, he moved to Southern California, then later to Las Vegas, Nevada. While in Las Vegas, he owned his own auto-body shop and insurance adjusting company. He retired in the late 1980’s and moved to Henderson, Nevada with his wife Marcia. They lived in Henderson until 2002 when they moved to Hatch, UT where he began telling his tales at the Riverside. Not a soul walked through the doors of the Riverside that wasn’t entertained by one of his true stories. When he wasn’t telling stories, he could be found down on the river, wearing his cowboy hat with a feather in it, catching fish. (Jim won trophies for sucker fishing in Missouri, and bowling trophies in Las Vegas). Jim spent much of his spare time doing metal working. He created works of art using horse shoes (a violinist, a poker game, horses, etc), motorcycles from spare parts (displayed on the counter), which have been photographed and reproduced by foreign countries, mailboxes to look like castles, farms, tractors, etc. All of his works were given as gifts, never sold. He collected late 19th century artifacts from visiting old ghost towns, then displayed them on the walls for everyone to enjoy. Although he will be sorely missed, the family rejoices in knowing that Jim accepted Christ in July, 2011 and was met at his passing by his parents, Fred and Mettie Maples, his brother Dude, his Sisters Mary-Ruth and Opal, and his grandsons, Joshua Daniel Fisher and Robert Newsted, Jr. He is survived by his wife Marcia Lee (Dougherty) Maples of Hatch, UT, his brother Lee Roy Maples of Republic, MO., his son Steve Maples (and wife, Sherry) of Branson, Mo., his daughter Sherry Maples Cunningham (and husband Ken) of Spokane, MO., his son Greg Fisher of Hatch, UT, and his daughter Tammi Fisher Newsted (And husband, Robert Sr.) of Hatch, Ut., 17 Grandchildren, Keith Newsted, Brandon Newsted (and wife, Megan), Tina Newsted Burkett (and husband, Gary), Tiffany Newsted, Johrie Fisher, Aspyn Fisher (and their mother, Gina Fisher), Juliana Fisher, Amanda Fisher, Alicia Linger, Jacob Linger, Tiffany Carpowich (and her husband, Brandon), Shanna, Amber, Stacy, Erica and Cody. (16) Great Grandchildren, James Newsted, Melissa Broeske (and husband Devon), Shelby Burkett, Tattyana Burkett, Michael Hansen, Ryan McCuistion, Austin Carpowich, Alexis Carpowich, Kyler Carpowich, Jake, Allie, Dakota, Milana, Madisyn, Mei Lin, and Aspen. (3) Great-Great Grandchildren, Kade Broeske, Nohea Broeske and Alexander Hansen. A “Going Away” party was held in his honor on October 8th at the family home, as was his wish. The family wishes to say thank you to all of those who were so helpful. In parting: “Istee Wanee Haha”, Pops!

October 13, 2011 ESTATE PLANNING BINDER
For your benefit and the benefit of your family, it is a good idea to organize your estate planning documents into a family estate planning binder. The documents within your binder should constitute a complete estate plan. The question then is, “What documents constitute a complete estate plan?” First, the cornerstone of the estate plan can be either a will or a revocable trust. As discussed in articles previously published in this column, whether the estate plan should be a “will based plan” or a “trust based plan” depends on your desires with respect to privacy and avoiding probate, as well as the location, size and types of assets comprising the estate. If you own real estate in more than one state, a trust should probably be the tool of choice. By creating a trust and transferring the real estate into the trust, you avoid the need to have two probate proceedings in different states to clear title to the real estate. If the cornerstone of your estate plan is a revocable trust, it is important that you still have a will. All “trust based plans” must still have what is called
a “pour over will.” It is a simple will that serves as a safety net to “pour over” assets into the trust. This type of will directs the property into the trust. Basically, the “pour over will” takes those assets that were not transferred into the trust while you were alive and gets them into the trust. However, because the assets were not transferred into the trust before your death, a probate proceeding is necessary. In addition to a will and possibly a trust, a complete estate plan should have a durable power of attorney for financial matters. This document allows legal decisions to be made regarding your financial matters in the event you become incapacitated. You may want this document to be a “springing durable power of attorney” which means the person named in the power of attorney has no power to make decisions regarding your assets until you become incapacitated. In addition to the above documents, your estate planning binder should contain documents pertaining to medical treatment decisions. If desired, a living will for the state in which you now live should be included. A living will (also called a “directive to physician”) specifies that no use of artificial life-support systems should be used once you are beyond reasonable hope of recovery. A medical power of attorney is also an impor-
tant document. A medical power of attorney allows a specified individual to make medical decisions for you in the event you are too ill to do so. Lastly, your estate planning binder should contain information pertaining to funeral arrangements. You should include funeral and burial information indicating the name of the funeral home and cemetery, the location of burial lots, and a list of which services, if any, have already been prearranged for or prepaid. Often, it can be very difficult for a family to harmoniously decide the numerous decisions that need to be made regarding a loved one’s funeral when emotions are high and feelings are sensitive. In conclusion, a family estate planning binder is a wonderful way to put your affairs in order. After it is complete, you need to discuss the contents with the children or other loved ones that would be involved in using the documents. You should inform them as to the location of the original binder and consider giving a copy to one or more of these individuals. Although you hope the binder will not be needed for many years, you will feel more secure knowing that it is ready. Jeffery J.

Hopefully, my 43 years working with wildlife on and adjacent to Monument lands will be helpful to Rene Berkhuodt, Monument Manager, and his staff, in advancing wildlife and associated interests on the Monument. Several species of wildlife have received extra attention in recent years on the Monument. Desert bighorn sheep were once nearly gone. However, re-introduction efforts in the last 30 years have restored this high-profile species back to some parts of the GSENM. American pronghorns were transplanted to the East Clark Bench near Church Wells. Their future in that area is still uncertain. Wild turkey transplants have established viable populations in several areas. In the last decade, river otters have been re-located to the Escalante River. They occasionally are viewed by hikers along the Escalante River and Calf Creek. In the 1980’s, elk were reestablished on the Boulder Mountain and Paunsaugunt Plateau. Individuals and

CLASSIFIEDS HELP WANTED
RIFLE BUCK DEER HUNT STARTS OCT. 22 More than 65,000 hunters expected afield for rifle deer hunt Hot weather made it difficult for many hunters to find bucks during this fall’s general muzzleloader buck deer hunt. Utah’s muzzleloader deer hunt ended on Oct. 6. Next up is the state’s most popular hunt, the general rifle buck deer hunt. The rifle hunt starts Oct. 22. Between now and then, Anis Aoude says colder temperatures would help hunters a bunch. Aoude, big game coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources, says colder weather forces deer to feed more. “That need to feed gets the deer moving and puts them in places where hunters can see them,” he says. Deer have also grown their heavy winter coats. With their heavy winter coats on, deer are more comfortable moving in temperatures that are 40 degrees F or less. “I think a drop in temperature would really help the hunt,” Aoude says. Deer numbers When you go afield on Oct. 22, Aoude says the number of buck deer compared to the number of doe deer that will be waiting for you is good across most of Utah. He says this past winter was a good one for deer across most of the state. “Even though the state received a lot of snow,” Aoude says, “temperatures across most of Utah were mild enough that the snow melted quickly on the lower elevation areas where the deer spend the winter. “Most of the fawns that were born in 2010 made it through the winter,” he says. “These deer will be available to hunters as yearling bucks this fall.” Aoude says there are some exceptions, though — portions of the Cache unit in northern Utah, and units along the south slope of the Uinta Mountains in northeastern Utah, were hit with cold temperatures
at the start of winter. The cold temperatures remained through most of the season. “The snow in these areas crusted over and stayed that way through most of the winter,” Aoude says. “Quite a few fawns died.” Another area of concern is southern Utah, where a severe drought several years ago has kept the overall number of deer down. “The number of fawns born in the southern part of the state has been fairly low over the past few years,” Aoude says. “Hopefully, the wet winter and spring this year will help the vegetation. If the vegetation improves, so will the overall number of deer.” Bucks per 100 does Every fall — after the archery, muzzleloader and rifle hunts are over and while the deer are grouped together during their breeding period — DWR biologists conduct deer surveys. During the surveys, the biologists compare the number of bucks they see to the number of does they see.
rain is in the forecast. These conditions create a scenario that is great for the deer, but difficult for hunters since the deer won’t be standing at the normal water holes and will be spread thin. Fish Lake and Monroe (Report by Vance Mumford) — I expect only a fair deer hunt this year. This is due to low recruitment and survival of fawns in 2010, which translates into fewer yearling bucks this year. However, this spring and summer have been great for the deer. They are fat and healthy. There are still buck hunting opportunities out there, so don’t stay home. Archery and muzzleloader hunters saw a fair number of bucks this fall, and they had some success. Reminder: The Monroe unit has a short season this year. The rifle hunt runs for only five days — Oct. 22–26. Boulder (Report by Jim Lamb) — There is a lack of young bucks in the populations in my district, probably due to high fawn mortality during the winter
Panguitch Lake and Mount Dutton (Report by Dustin Schaible) — Deer are still spread out across much of their range. The high habitat quality has given mature bucks an opportunity to reach their antler growth potential, so there are some nice bucks out there. The number of bucks is still down as a result of winter loss during the winter of 2009–2010 and low fawn production in 2010. Overall, the health of the herd and fawn production is expected to be better this year due to a great water year, and even more
of 2009–2010. Older bucks are available to harvest, but the lack of young deer makes it appear that there are very few bucks around. Deer have remained at higher elevations, but as soon as the weather changes, they should move down slope towards their wintering areas. There was an abundance of feed this year, and deer are in great shape. Reminder: The Boulder unit has a short season this year. The rifle hunt runs for only five days — Oct. 22–26.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN CAPITOL REEF NATIONAL PARK!!! I have made many phone calls written many letters and emails this last month. I am very concerned about the Capitol Reef National Park closing its waterfall. This waterfall is the most enjoyed spot in the Capitol Reef National Park in June, July, August and September. To fix the waterfall would cost several thousands of dollars to put in a cement dam so the waterfall will cascade over the sandstone. We could have safety devices, like they have in swimming pools and other public recreational areas so if someone is struggling in the water someone can extend help and pull them to safety. Signs that say DANGER, SWIM AT YOUR OWN RISK, THE PARK IS NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU ARE INJURED OR DIE. Put in a register at the waterfall for comments I’m sure we would have some awesome comments. My family has been swimming here for 50 years. I think if we had a meeting and put all our heads together we could fix the waterfall so it would be safer. However, you know in the past fifty years we have never had anyone die at the waterfall. I would say that is a pretty good record. It seems that Al‘s,( the Park’s Superintendent) only solution to fixing the waterfall is to get rid of it by putting in two bridges. They would be very dangerous in the winter because everyone knows bridges get icy in the winter. In 2005 the cost was approximately $10,000,000.00. Six years later I’m sure that would be closer to $15,000,000.00 to
$20,000,000.00. To me as a tax payer, I say let’s fix the waterfall. If we put this to a vote to the people that come to the park in the summer, when the temperature is 80100 I’m sure they would agree with me. Al tried to have the two bridges put in in 2005 but the Senators, Congressman and the State Road were able to stop the project. I recently talked to Al and he willing told me that his annual salary was $120,00.00 plus government benefits, so I guess after spending $3,000,000.00 plus on the Scenic Drive, perhaps the amount for the two bridges does not seem to be very much to him, but it sure seems like a lot to me. You need to know that if the bridges were to be built the jobs would not go to the local people but rather to out of county, out of state, or even out of country, like the Hanksville dam, and the Scenic Drive. The waterfall is not the real issue here. It has been Al Hendricks goal since he arrived here in Wayne Co. I believe his goal is to have the two bridges as his personal legacy. His words to Keith Durfey before his death was that he would not retire until the two bridges were completed. I have contacted Congressman Jim Matheson, Utah Department of Transportation, State Road over highway 24, Senator Orrin Hatch. Senator Mike Lee, Congressman Jason Chaffetz, Utah Governor Gary Herbert, Utah State Representative Mike Noel, Utah State Senator Nathan Lee, AOG 6 county Asso-
ciation, Russ Cowley, Utah Senator Ralph Okerland, Fremont River Soil Conservation District, David Pace, and Wayne County Commissioners. All of the above are against these two bridges being built and for fixing the waterfall and keeping the waterfall open. If you would like to help save the waterfall and stop the bridges from being built, call, or write Al Hendricks, Superintendent of Capitol Reef National Park, 52 Scenic Dr. Torrey, UT 84775 or 435-425-3791 ext. 2. If you think this will land on deaf ears contact his boss Laura Joss 1-303-969-2856, email laura_joss@nps.gov I have called her and she will listen to you. You could also call the same people I have. Call me if you want a number I can find it for you. Al told me that I was the only one that had called him and was against the two bridges and the waterfall being closed. It is time to stand up and be counted. I know I’m not the only one! On your computer go to http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=uBXf--Blh0I and see how much fun they are having. Then go to: http:// www.nationalparkstraveler. com/2011/07/popular-swimming-area-capitol-reef-national-park-closed-due-dangerous-conditions8482 See in his own words that park officials are looking to reroute the river to its original streambed next year.

“ART WORKS FOR KIDS” AT BRYCE CANYON NATIONAL PARK
Bryce Canyon National Park hosted 76 eighth grade students and 66 fourth grade students from Garfield County Schools for a program entitled, “Art Works for Kids” which is part of the Artist in the Park series at Bryce Canyon. This program was developed for students to create a greater understanding of the arts and to envision things in science through the arts. The students came to Bryce Canyon National Park and were taught State Core concepts focusing on rocks, mineral and earth formations along with identifying evidence in depth, shadow, color and mood in artwork. The program was funded by a grant from the Beverely Taylor Sorenson ArtsFusion Organization. The main intent of the program was to help restore visual arts back into the schools and in doing so create a deeper and richer understanding of their natural world. Alisa Peterson, art teacher for ArtsFusion, taught art to the students while Marilyn Bulkley, Education Outreach Specialist for Bryce Canyon Natural History Association, teamed up and taught science. The students in Garfield County love to come to Bryce Canyon National Park on science trips and with this program we hoped to instill a love of the arts connected with their already love for science. The 4th grade students hiked down the popular Navajo Loop trail learning about rocks, minerals
and earth formation. When they returned to the top Mrs. Peterson introduced them to water colors and had them paint Bryce Canyon from the rim along Sunset point. While the 4th grade students spent one day in the Park, the 8th grade students participated in an overnight educational experience, “Involve me, and I’ll remember”. This program involved 4 different curriculum studies: Science, Social Studies, Language arts, and Visual Arts. This year Alisa Peterson was used to improve on this program by using her skills in the field of teaching visual arts. The students learned to write in a journal, where they transformed something common into some-
thing special. We would like to thank Dixie National Forest, Kodachrome Basin State Park, ARTsFusion, Bryce Canyon National Park and Bryce Canyon Natural History Association for their help with this program. And especially a BIG thank you to the teachers and students from Panguitch, Escalante and Bryce Valley. Next year the Art Works for Kids program will include music, art and science.

ASK A SPECIALIST DIBELS This week I will focus on a few of the required testing assessments we give in the Garfield School District. We are mandated by law to provide 23 different types of assessment to our students in Kindergarten to 12th grade. I wanted to discuss the DIBELS reading assessment used at all elementary schools in the District. The testing is mandated by Senate Bill 150 which reads as follows: Basic Requirements: SB150 There are three basic provisions of Senate Bill 150. • LEAs (Garfield School District) shall report to parents of all children in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades a. if the child is below grade level in reading at the midpoint of the year, and b. reading interventions available at the school/district. • LEAs must provide reading remediation interventions to students identified as below grade level. • LEAs shall report to USOE (Utah State Office of Education) a. the number of students reading below grade level at the midpoint of the year, and b. the number of students identified as being below grade level who received reading intervention. 2. Common Assessment By Board Rule, every student in Grades 1, 2, and 3 will be given the DIBELS Next Middle of Year (MOY) DIBELS Oral Reading Fluency (DORF) Benchmark As-
sessment. This assessment consists of each student reading three grade level passages for one minute each. Only “Words Correct” (number of words read correctly in one minute) and “Accuracy” (percent of the total words read that were read correctly) are used in the “Grade Level” determination. 3. Timeline for Assessment and Reporting • Students are to be assessed in January (no sooner than after Winter Break and no later than January 31st). • LEAs must notify parents by February 15th. • LEAs must submit required data to USOE by February 28th. • LEAs must complete the required fields in their student information system for the Clearinghouse report due in July. • Exceptions to this timeline must be approved by USOE. 4. Data Reported to The Utah State Office of Education • By February 28th LEAs will report a. the number of students per grade level (1st, 2nd and 3rd), b. the number designated as “Below Grade Level,” (see Item 6 below), and c. the number of students in each grade in the three DORF categories: Benchmark, Strategic, and Intensive DIBELS link: https://dibels.uoregon.edu/benchmark.php Three tests that high
school students will be involved in are: EXPLORE, PLAN and ACT. Typically, students take EXPLORE in the 8th or 9th grade, PLAN as sophomores, and the ACT as juniors or seniors. All three tests involve English, math, reading, and science. However, the material tested in each program gets more difficult. Testing information about your child’s career plans, interests, high school coursework plans. On a different note, please take some time to fill out the survey on the pool and Panguitch High renovations. You can find the link to the survey on the District web page. I will present the results of the survey in the next board meeting. I would also like to recognize and thank all those who spent time preparing and presenting for the “Utah’s Past and Present/Intrigue of the Past” presentation for all fourth grade students in the District. Several people volunteer their time to make this a great success each year. A special thanks to Vicki Syrett who is coordinator of this wonderful program. The students enjoyed two full days of learning through interaction and entertainment. Thanks again to everyone who was involved in this program. “The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”-Dr. Seuss Superintendent Ben Dalton

As our (the US) 2012 elections get really crazy... and the potential (republican) nominies crank up unbelievable comments and claims... (as do the Democrats!) it might be a good idea to reflect on one of our most resourceful & successful Founding Fathers and his career! Resume of Thomas Jefferson: Thomas Jefferson was a very remarkable man who started learning very early in life and never stopped: At 5, began studying under his cousins tutor. At 9, studied Latin, Greek and French. At 14, studied classical literature and additional languages. At 16, entered the College of William and Mary. At 19, studied Law for 5 years starting under George Wythe. At 23, started his own law practice. At 25, was elected to the Virginia House of Burgesses. At 31, wrote the widely circulated “Summary View of the Rights of British America” and retired from his law practice. At 32, was a Delegate to the Second Continental Congress. At 33, wrote the Declaration of Independence. At 33, took three years to revise Virginias legal code and wrote a Public Education bill and a statute for Religious Freedom. At 36, was elected the second Governor of Virginia succeeding Patrick Henry. At 40, served in Congress for two years. At 41, was the American minister to France and negotiated commercial treaties with European nations along with Ben Franklin and John Adams. At 46, served as the first Secretary of State under George Washington. At 53, served as Vice President and was elected president of the American Philosophical Society. At 55, drafted the Kentucky Resolutions and became the active head of Republican Party. At 57, was elected the third president of the United States. At 60, obtained the Louisiana Purchase doubling the nation’s size. At 61, was elected to a second term as President. At 65, retired to Monticello.. At 80, helped President Monroe shape the Monroe Doctrine. At 81, almost single-handedly created the University of Virginia and served as its first president. At 83, died on the 50th anniversary of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence along with John Adams Thomas Jefferson knew because he himself studied the previous failed attempts at government. He understood actual history, the nature of God, his laws and the nature of man. That happens to be way more than what most understand today. Jefferson really knew his stuff. A voice from the past to lead us in the future: John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the white House for a group of the brightest minds in the nation at that time. He made this statement: “This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in the White House with the exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.” When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe . (Thomas Jefferson) The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. (Thomas Jefferson) It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world. (Thomas Jefferson) I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. (Thomas Jefferson) My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government. (Thomas Jefferson) No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. (Thomas Jefferson) The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. (Thomas Jefferson) The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. (Thomas Jefferson) To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical. (Thomas Jefferson) Thomas Jefferson said in 1802: “I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property - until their children wake-up homeless on thecontinent their fathers conquered.” NOTE: Might want to share this with the kids...and... maybe...their teachers!!
DO YOU HAVE TIPS ON PREPARING AN EMERGENCY CAR KIT?
Answer by: Carolyn Washburn, Utah State University Extension family consumer science agent
America is on the move. We travel short or long distances nearly every day. Many travelers are not prepared for roadside or community emergencies. In addition, with so much attention being placed on the ability to evacuate a community quickly, having an emergency car kit prepared and in the trunk would be invaluable and could even save lives. One option is to buy ready-made kits. Many are available through online stores or at emergency supply stores. However, putting your own kit together is a way to make sure you include items that will meet your specific needs. Consider these tips for preparing an emergency car kit. • First, check the tools in your vehicle. These should include a spare tire, jack and lug wrench, jumper cables, flares or reflectors, a flashlight and batteries, a help or distress sign, maps, a small tool set, a fire extinguisher, a tire inflator, sealant and duct tape. • Next, include additional safety tools. These include a tow rope, shovel, tire chains and sand or cat litter for traction if you live or travel in winter conditions. • Then add survival items. These include high-energy foods, nutrition bars, nuts, dried fruits, candies, water, emergency thermal blankets, warm clothing, a safety whistle, cell phone and charger, heavy gloves, folding utility knife, garbage bags, tissues/toilet paper and survival medications. All vehicles should have a first aid kit with manual. • Other items to include are a brightly colored scarf or distress flag to tie to your car antenna and an envelope stored in the glove compartment listing family contact information. • Be sure to keep the gas tank at least half full at all times, and carry cash in small bills (ones, fives and change) in a secured compartment. Before leaving home, always let someone know where you are going and when you will return. • When faced with an emergency situation, do your best to take care of yourself and others. Assess your surroundings and make sure your car is still safe to serve as a shelter. Most of the time, it’s best to stay with your vehicle. Rescuers will have an easier time spotting a large piece of metal than a person on foot. Whether making a quick trip to the grocery store or taking a trip across the country, it is important to expect the unexpected. Be prepared and always have information, tools and emergency supplies in your vehicle. With luck, you will never have to use them; but if you do, they can be both time savers and life savers.
