'Rough Around the Edges' poses in front of Torrey's iconic landscape.

TORREY - The Friends of Entrada Award recognizes the contributions of an individual, group, or organization that has provided on-going support for the Entrada Institute. This year the award will be presented to the local music group “Rough Around The Edges.” The award presentation will occur at 7:30PM on October 22 as part of the Entrada Institute’s annual year-end event.

Over the years, Rough Around the Edges has volunteered their talents at a wide range of local events. Their enthusiasm for music is contagious.

According to the group’s organizer, “Rough Around the Edges is the public face of

a purely recreational Wayne County music group, folks who get together once a week just to play music for the simple fun of it. Our members range from trained musicians to absolute beginners, and we try to keep things simple enough that everyone can join in at some level.

Our focus is not on skill, but participation. We're completely non-judgmental and our only rule is that no one is criticized for anything. We consider our public performances to be our small contribution to the community and only hope that the audience has as much fun as we do.”

The group’s current members include Jim Adams, Janet Adams, Dudley Elliott, Ray

Conrad, Jackie Koenig, Dean Koenig, Janet Hansen, Pat Menefee, Don O'Brien, Jim Dowling, Scott Smith, Mary Bedingfield Smith, Eileen Frazier, Rod Frazier, Paul Smith, Margaret Smith, Tamie Bagley, Linda Ward, Robert Poulton, Diana Poulton, Dee Hatch, Gordon Hatch, and Rebecca Pace.

(Of course, not all of these play every performance, fortunately for the sound crew).

Rod Frazier will be accepting the award for the group on Saturday October 22 at 7:30PM as part of the Entrada Institute’s Annual Fundraiser ($20 donation suggested). Other activities include additional awards and poetry readings by David Lee. —The Entrada Institute

Interior Department Releases Final Environmental Impact Statement for Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management PAGE, AZ - The U.S. Department of the Interior today released the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for a Long-Term Experimental and Management Plan (LTEMP) for Glen Canyon Dam operations. The LTEMP will provide a framework for adaptively managing Glen Canyon Dam over the next 20 years with the goal of creating certainty and predictability for water and power users while protecting environmental and cultural resources in Grand Canyon National Park and the Colorado River ecosystem.

“The Colorado River and Grand Canyon National Park are vital resources in the Western United States, and the

spirit of cooperation and commitment to their protection and preservation is exemplary,” said Deputy Secretary of the Interior Michael L. Connor.

“This work reflects the dedication and expertise of the Department’s Bureau of Reclamation, the National Park Service as well as our state, local and tribal partners who have worked through the complex challenges we face in protecting our finite resources.”

The FEIS presents a thorough analysis of complex river processes and interests and identifies a preferred alternative that ensures Glen Canyon Dam will continue to meet its purposes while improving downstream resources and recreational experiences.

It's almost impossible to be funnier than the people in Washington.

—Carol Burnett

This is the first Environmental Impact Statement for Glen Canyon Dam since 1995 and it marks an ongoing focus on balancing project purposes with natural and cultural resources protection. Today’s release culminates an open and transparent process based on the best-available science, extensive public involvement and active collaboration with stakeholders, cooperating agencies and traditionally associated tribes. Interior’s Bureau of Reclamation and National Park Service jointly led the FEIS completion in coordination with 15 cooperating agencies—including three federal and six non-federal agencies and six American Indian Tribes. In addition to

addressing suggestions, concerns and comments from those cooperating agencies, the FEIS fully considered all comments received during a 122-day public review and comment period that ended on May 9, 2016.

The FEIS was prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and evaluated potential environmental impacts of seven alternatives—including one no-action alternative that would continue operation as guided by the previous 1996 Record of Decision.

The FEIS team identified a Impact Statement

A Heartfelt Thank You!

Dear Editor, Kevin and I would like to thank all the Fire Men that came to our house shortly after the damage of our home, furniture was immediately moved to a safer part of the house, John Orton brought up a large tarp to cover the house, Jamie Veater showed up with his bucket truck to lift fireman to help cover the house, the storm was still quite violent, but the fire man and volunteer's braved the storm as they walked the trusses to cover the roof, lumber and nails from the Panguitch supply were brought up to nail the tarp to the roof. Kevin said he cant believe how everyone worked so quickly together, and so many men showing to help outside. While all the action was happening out side, I had the relief society sisters. ward members and great friends and some I had no idea who they were, inside helping me, boxes started showing up and everyone started to bag and box items. At one time there were so many people, they formed a assembly line, box's and bag's were sent down stairs being stored in bedrooms. . I may need to apologize because I remember my name being called so many times that I don't know if I responded or responded correctly, everyone was asking what to do with all our stuff (junk). At that time I really didn't realize how serious it was until one of the fireman put his hand on the ceiling in my kitchen and bounced it and said "Deanna, this ceiling is the only thing that is keeping you and your belonging safe, when it goes, what do you want saved and what do you want ruined". Then my light fixtures started to leak, wow, that hit me like a brick wall. of course I cried, not knowing what to do.

Within 3 hours the house was covered and everyone had help the most they could until the next day, Friday morning again everyone started to show for the clean up, Thank you to the Garfield County officers, inmates, volunteer's and the trash truck to start to clean up the roofing, also a big Thanks to the High School Seniors and Mrs Bennett. They came walking through the fields from Yardley's Insurance toward my house carrying large trash bags and cleaning up all the debris. By noon it was all cleaned up. Also a big thanks to City and county employees, and volunteers, as they moved fridge and freezer goods to my parent's home. Thank you to Bishop Danny and his cross country team. and a special thanks to Claudia and Leon Crump, Claudia was always there or close to be called when help was needed, Volunteers and ward members helping move the furniture into the storage container after we were told every thing up stairs needed to be moved since the ceiling and some walls need to be replaced. We've been told we should be back in our home as soon as possible. We are so lucky to live in Panguitch and have such good friends to be there when needed, I wished I could name everyone but I would hate to leave anyone out, you know who you are so, every little bit adds up, to a big "Thank You". again thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Bless you all.

We Love you all, Kevin and Deanna Moore and Family, Panguitch

Garfield County Canditate Support

Dear Editor, I am thankful that I live in a country that provides me the freedom to vote for the leaders who will represent me and my interests.

I have known Jerry Taylor for most of my life and I believe he is the best candidate to represent Garfield County as a Commissioner.

Jerry is a successful businessman, I don’t think he should have to apologize for his success. People in the county have remarked that his business is not in Garfield County. This maybe true, but because of his successful business, he has been able to give back to his community. He has donated his equipment, and money for projects in the community several times. He has always been involved in the schools, purchased new uniforms for both boys and girls sports, sponsored a girl’s basketball tournament, bought equipment for Jr. Jazz, and for the Little League baseball program.

When my son Clayte had cancer, Jerry provided a company cell phone for our use. He delivered Clayte’s homework to Clayte and back to the school, gifts and cards from community members, and anything else we needed brought to us while we were in Salt Lake City. A number of times, he put my money in my pocket for the fuel and expenses needed for the many trips up north for treatments. Jerry had no obligation to do this, but this is who he is, he helps those around him. He didn’t ask for recognition, he simply knew that we could use the help.

Our county is at a crossroads right now, and we need a leader who has established a long history of working with leaders in communities, in Garfield County, and our state. Jerry Taylor is the best candidate to help lead us in the direction that will be best for the residents of Garfield County. This is why I will be voting for Jerry on November 8th.

Thank you, Dirk Durfey, Escalante

Garfield County Canditate Support

Dear Garfield County Residents, I would like to let everyone know that I am choosing to support Candidate Jerry Taylor to fill the Garfield County Commission Seat “C” in November’s upcoming election.

Over the last several years, I have had the opportunity to work one-on-one with Jerry in several different capacities within local city government and also at the county government level. Jerry has worked extremely hard for the citizens of Escalante and I know that he will bring that same integrity and work ethic to the office of the County Commission.

- Jerry understands how local governments can secure funding for local projects such as; Community Impact Board funding, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding, and Five County Association of Governments. Jerry currently chairs the CDBG Board and is also a member of the Five County Association of Governments Steering Committee. He is actively involved in the organizations that help our local governments work.

- Jerry is a member of the Garfield County Travel Council. He recognizes the importance of tourism in our economy and the importance of multiple use on our public lands.

- Jerry supports grazing and recognizes it as a major component of our local economy, culture, and great heritage.

-Jerry has been instrumental in helping Escalante City attract new businesses and services. He is a business owner and knows how to run an efficient, successful business. These skills will help him be a conservative leader in Garfield County.

-Jerry is a native of Escalante. He wants to see Garfield County thrive as an area that will attract future businesses and new families, allowing Garfield County to continue to grow and prosper.

-Jerry is an honest, hard-working community leader. He has a highly motivated work ethic and will never give up on any challenge which is placed before him. He loves Garfield County and will always give you his very best.

- Jerry is also the ONLY REPUBLICAN candidate on the ballot.

I would like to endorse Jerry Taylor as the best candidate for Garfield County Commissioner Seat “C” in the November election. He has the necessary skills and experience to lead us into a successful future. We as a county need a person that represents conservative principles, fiscal restraint, and demonstrates strong leadership skills. Watch for your mail-in ballot, which will be arriving in your mail box over the next few weeks, and VOTE! Join with me by voting for Jerry Taylor, the ONLY Republican candidate for Garfield County Commissioner.

Thank you for your consideration, David B. Tebbs, Garfield County Commissioner Seat “B”

Op-Ed

County Election Security

suBmitted By: utah’s 29 County Clerks and the lieutenant Governor’s offiCe Utah’s election officials are like momma bears, fiercely protective of the security and integrity of our elections systems.

Here’s how these systems work, and why they’re safe.

Almost 75 percent of Utah’s votes are cast by mail.

The Legislature and county clerks have implemented strict controls to ensure each ballot is safe, secure, and secret. Every single voter’s signature is verified by a trained elections worker. Envelopes have unique barcodes used to give credit for voting, preventing someone from voting twice. Ballots are stored under lock and key, and at least two elections workers are present whenever ballots are handled or processed. Reconciliations are used throughout the process to ensure no ballot is lost, and no new ballots are introduced. Citizens are always welcome to watch and scrutinize this process. Observers always leave confident that the process is well controlled.

You might think, these sound like good controls, but what about the system that totals

the votes, and the transmission of election results? Are they safe?

Absolutely! Each county’s central counting server is located in a physically secure environment, and is not connected to the Internet or any other network.

Ever. It compiles votes from the scanned paper ballots and from the touchscreen voting machines, tabulates the totals, and prints the results. This printed document is the official election record, and is kept by the county clerk.

Clerks transmit results to the Lieutenant Governor’s office via secure electronic methods.

After validation by the state, clerks immediately compare the results to the county’s official record to ensure the transmission was accurate.

What about the voting machines at polling places? Can they be hacked remotely?

Nope. The voting machines at polling places are not networked, nor are they ever connected to the Internet. They don’t have modems, network cards, or Wi-Fi. Hacking would require separate physical access to each

machine. Clerks store these machines in secure locations, with multiple pre-numbered security seals to detect tampering. Poll workers check the seals and reconcile totals throughout the day to ensure the number of votes cast equals the number of voters who have checked in.

Each machine has a paper printout that shows the voter how their vote is being recorded. That paper trail allows us to compare the digital vote record with the physical record without compromising the voter’s secret ballot. Every county audits a sample of machines. In 11 years, there has never been a discrepancy between what was recorded electronically and what was recorded on paper.

Your local election official is fiercely protective of your vote. Still not convinced? Come take a look! We’d love to walk you through the entire process.

You’ll walk away, as hundreds already have, confident that your vote is indeed safe, secret, and secure, even from Russian hackers!

Imapact Statement preferred alternative that improves river system conditions and minimizes adverse impacts to downstream natural, recreational and cultural resources while meeting obligations for water delivery and hydroelectric power generation. The preferred alternative continues high-flow experiments linked to adaptive triggers such as sediment and hydrology and includes fish conservation and management tools to improve fisheries and the aquatic food base.

LTEMP and this FEIS support the ongoing focus of the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program, which includes a diverse group of 25 river system stakeholders. The FEIS team received letters expressing support for the pre-

ferred alternative from the seven Basin States, National Parks Conservation Association, Western Area Power Administration, Navajo Nation, river rafting guides and many members of the public.

The FEIS Notice of Availability was published in the Federal Register on Friday, October 7. The Department of the Interior will issue a final Record of Decision following a minimum 30day public review period. The Record of Decision will select the alternative that will be implemented and discuss all factors leading to that decision.

PANGUITCH - Canyon Creek Women’s Crisis Center (CCWCC) is excited to announce the fifth annual Dine Out for Shelter fundraising event on Friday, October 14th. October is nationally recognized as Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

As part of this awareness Kenny Rays in Panguitch will be donating 25% of their total day’s proceeds to support the CCWCC. Dine Out for Shelter is the CCWCC’s month-long awareness kick-off event. It is a great opportunity for our community to raise much needed funds for the Center while also raising awareness about the important services that it provides relative to the public health issue of domestic violence, and helping to make our community safer for everyone. CCWCC is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization located in Cedar City, Utah serving the communities of Iron, Beaver, and Garfield counties since

1996. Last year, CCWCC provided free confidential help for 975 survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.

Dine Out for Shelter is a partnered event featuring the generosity of Kenny Rays Restaurant in Panguitch on October 14th and other restaurants in Cedar City on October 20th.

This event will go throughout the entire day on both days at participating restaurants. With gratitude, CCWCC would like to request that hungry patrons choose to eat at Kenny Rays on October 14th in support of their mission to overcome the impact of domestic violence and sexual assault one life at a time.

At each participating restaurant, you will find CCWCC Board Members, Staff, and/ or Volunteers serving as dining Hosts, welcoming patrons and accepting individual tax-deductible donations for CCWCC. Each person who makes a direct dona-

tion will be entered into a drawing to win great door prizes. The Hosts will also be available to answer questions about CCWCC programs, and will provide information about the current new projects that this fundraiser will focus on. These projects include the Lethality Assessment Program (LAP), in partnership with local law enforcement agencies, and the Emergency Safe House Renovation Project, in partnership with the Iron County Home Builders Association and Intermountain Healthcare.

Please plan on taking yourself, your family and your friends and Dine Out for Shelter. The community’s support in these fundraising efforts will serve to maintain and ensure growth in successful programs that can bring hope in the freedom from this kind of violence.

Schools & Sports

School Attendance Expectations

After completing the first full month of school, I thought a discussion concerning school attendance would be an excellent topic. Nationally, September is considered National School Attendance Month. Schools and districts spend time to alert students and the public that student attendance in public education is a great program for our students, parents, and institutions.

For the most part, our entire childhood is spent in school. School allows us to learn vision and wisdom, while spending our days with friends learning the social attributes needed to survive in later life. In today’s society, both parents may work and school allows everyone in the household to leave for the day and return for a reunion at night. Schools provide an atmosphere for our children to learn to deal with adults, other cultures, and student diversity. A student’s love for music or art is found at school. Creativity is developed and academia is mastered. Team spirit and team work is developed, rules are followed, and end results are realized.

Why is daily attendance important? This answer is simple; we only have 13 years to prepare you for life. You cannot afford to miss a single day. The school bell will ring for the final time in every student’s life. Daily education will change to making a living and all of us know that we can’t sluff that or just not show up. Let’s keep education a priority for our children and help those 13 years propel our youth into a great and prosperous future.

Bryce Valley Elementary News

Hogle Zoo visited the Second Grade and brought some animals and the students were very excited. They talked about Habitats and the animals that lived in the various ones.

Mrs. Trista Rich is the teacher.

The Third Graders went on an evening Field Trip to Poe's Observatory in Tropic. Kevin Poe, Jan Stock and Logan Poe gave a great presentation on

the Solar Systems. They displayed the Solar System on the Big Screen for the students and discussed it. They then did some art projects and got to take turns looking through the three large telescopes. They looked at Venus, Saturn, the Moon and some constellations.

There were fifteen students in attendance and we thank the many parents that came along to help out. Attending with the third graders were; Klinton Chynoweth, Klay Chynoweth, Laree Bybee, Teresa Larson, Lesa Ahlstrom, Ciera Syrett and April LeFevre as the bus driver. We thank them for their help. It was a wonderful adventure and one that the students enjoyed thoroughly.

Clarke's Planetarium from Salt Lake presented a program for the entire Bryce Valley Elementary and also did some in class presentations in each grade. It was a very interesting visit and all enjoyed it.

PHS Sports Sidelines by maCk oettinG

Bobcats are having a great season!

The Bob Cats after having a great season with only two losses all year long, ended up losing to the Piute Thunderbirds, in the semis. I was told that the Birds got back two of their injured star players and they made a big difference. This is a team that Panguitch should be very proud of; they were for most of the season a defensive machine, who made very few errors. Coach Barney really made them into winners, they were expected to finish no better than 4th place in Region 20 and they showed everyone how good they were by winning Region by 2 games. Hats off to you Bobcats you did good!

The Lady Bobcats did real well up at the Sevier Invitational tournament. The tournament was made up of mostly 2A and 3A teams, with only 3 1A teams there. The girls came away with 5 wins and only 2 losses.

But best of all they got some badly needed competition from the big schools. In these tournaments they only play 2 out of 3 sets and it doesn’t count against their record. Part of the rules is that to enter this tournament you have to have a JV team. Well the Cats have a super JV Team and for the second year in a row they won the tournament.

Last night the Ladies played host to the Valley Buffalos and that was their last league game of the year. The season really slows down now and the Region 20 playoffs won’t be till next Friday the 21st of October and they will be held in Wayne. Oct. 28/29 Friday and Saturday the State tournament finally goes on and it will be at UVU. The PHX teams competed last Tuesday the 11th for the Region title. The boys have been winning most of the duel meets lately and the girls have had some real good showings. The Lady Cats team is made up mostly of the volleyball team and at region they will be at full force. The races were held down at Mt. Carmel’s golf course, a real fun place to view the race from. Put this on your calendar, next week on Wednesday Oct. 19 will be the State meet and it will be at Sugarhouse Park and the races always start early. I am sure that Coach Yardley will have the team in great shape for the finals.

Community Partners Join In Nationwide Prescription Drug Take Back Day PANGUITCH – To raise awareness about the potential for abuse of prescription medications, [Panguitch Prevention Coalition, the Garfield County Sheriff’s Department, Southwest Prevention] are sponsoring a Prescription Drug Take Back Day event on Saturday, October 20th from 9am -1pm.

In conjunction with the Flu Shoot Out at the Panguitch Fire House.

According to the Office of National Drug Control Policy prescription drug abuse is the nation's fastest-growing drug problem. Most individuals who misuse prescription drugs, particularly teens, believe that these substances are safer than illicit drugs because they are prescribed by a healthcare professional and dispensed by a pharmacist. The first step in attempting to tackle the problem of prescription drug abuse is to educate parents, youth, and patients about the dangers of

abusing prescription drugs.

To address the abuse and misuse of prescription drugs, community organizations, public health entities and law enforcement are collaborating to host drug take-back programs nationwide. These drug disposal programs are a good way to remove expired, unwanted or unused medicines from the home and reduce the chance that someone may accidentally or intentionally take the medicine.

What can you do in your community?

• Follow disposal guidelines. Don’t flush your prescription medications. If no instructions are given on the drug label and no take-back program is available in your area, take them out of their original containers and mix them with an undesirable substance, such as used coffee grounds or kitty litter — to make the medication less appealing and unrecognizable — then put them

in a sealable bag, empty can, or other container to prevent the medication from leaking or breaking out of a garbage bag.

• Talk to your kids: It's important that our children learn about the use and abuse of prescription drugs.

• Take advantage of community take-back programs: Prescription Drug Take Back Day occurs once a year October. The Garfield County Sherriff Department also had a drug disposal box in their lobby for year-round disposal.

They have collected over 100 pounds since that drop box was put in place.

Will collect: Prescription medications, over the counter medications, liquids Will not collect: Medical waste, syringes, intravenous solutions, and injectables For more information visit southwestprevention.com —Panguitch Prevention Coalition

How Do I Disinherit a Family Member?

by Jeffery J. mCkenna

Deciding who gets your assets after you die is difficult enough, but what if you want to make sure someone IS NOT included? Even though the word “disinherit” may conjure up images of family discord, there are many reasons one may wish to do it. Perhaps one of your children is a wealthy entrepreneur and another has special needs, or perhaps you are in a second marriage and want to provide for your children from a previous marriage – but not your ex-spouse. Disinheriting anyone other than members of your nuclear family is easy – just leave them out of your will.

But states have special protections for spouses and children.

Spouses. If you live or have lived in a community property state like Arizona and Nevada, the law assumes that your spouse automatically owns half of everything you both earned during your marriage. There are ways to define money that is yours, separate from the community property, to make sure it goes where you want when you die. However, in order to do that, both spouses must sign a written agreement that explains which assets belong to each partner separately.

There are rules that may apply when attempting to separate commingled funds, that is, funds of each spouse that have

been deposited into a joint account. Therefore, it is important to consult an attorney to make sure that there is no question or misunderstanding that may cause conflict when you least expect or need it.

Other states give your spouse the right to claim a prescribed portion of your estate, no matter what your will provides, or even if you have a will at all. In these cases, it is impossible to completely disinherit a spouse, unless your spouse is willing to sign a marital agreement waiving his or her right to your estate.

Ex-spouses.

Your exspouse has no claim to the assets of your estate, unless he or she has some claim against your estate before you die, such as a court order that has awarded a portion of a retirement benefit or pension. It would depend on how the assets were separated at the time of the divorce. Significantly, insurance policies with an ex-spouse inadvertently left as beneficiary take precedence over a will that leaves those same assets to another.

Children. In most cases, you can disinherit a child or grandchild simply by stating so in your will. However, simply omitting to mention a child does not automatically disinherit a child. The omitted child can contest the will if you

do not make your wishes clear.

Most states have laws that protect against accidental disinheritance; for example, if a child was born after you drafted your will. Again, unless you specifically state that the child is disinherited, the child will be legally entitled to the same share as the other children.

Disinheritance is a personal issue. One who wishes to disinherit a family member may find that there are other effective options, such as putting assets in a trust for that heir, with a trustee making the decisions of what the money can, and can not, be used for. It is wise to consult an estate planning attorney before making decisions that affect the distribution of your estate and the harmony of your family, once you are gone.

Who Answers?

My sister felt she was well prepared for her in-depth interview with the Police Academy Board who would determine her suitability as a candidate.

The first situation they presented to her was: "On routine patrol you see a car traveling at excessive speed, with undue care and attention. You pull it over and discover that the driver is your brother. What do you do?"

Without hesitation she replied, "Tell Mom!"

We telemarketers know we're universally loathed.

Still, some people are quite pleasant on the phone.

One day I called a number and asked to speak with Mr. Morgan.

The woman who answered explained that he no longer lived at that address, but she did have a number where he could be reached.

I thanked her, rang that number, and was greeted with, "Good morning, Highland View Cemetery."

Punishment

My father was a guard at San Quentin, and we lived on the prison grounds. Occasionally, inmates came by and helped with yard work. One day, he lost the keys to the shed. A man who was mowing the lawn offered to help.

Picking up a hammer, he gave the lock two sharp taps, and it magically opened. "Wow," said my father said. "How did you do that so quickly?"

Handing back the hammer, the prisoner said, "Well, I ain't in here for making muffins."

FYI PanguItch

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Being gone for the week, I don’t have much information on what went on in town.

I did hear a little gossip about one of our beloved Bishops almost getting into trouble while tending someone’s baby, it only goes to show how observant men are.

We had a great time in California at our Firefighter’s reunion. We had some new retirees come out for the first time and when you don’t see someone for 25 years they do change. Most of the retirees are in their seventies and are in good health; however we did lose two of them the week prior to the reunion. It is always fun to go over all the good times we had on the Department and all of the problems that are going on with things now. When I left the Department we were the second highest paid depart in the Country only behind Beverly Hills and with the latest survey that the City ran, Torrance was 10th out of 10 departments that were part of the survey. Also they have reduced the staff by about 30 men, so I left at a real good time. So instead of getting Fire Fighters from other cities like we were, now they are losing them to other cities.

One of my friends sold his 13 acres of avocados in Fallbrook, California and retired on the big island in Hawaii. His wife took her green thumb with her and they have made their place a garden spot with all kinds of trees and plants. They have a number of banana trees with really great bunches of bananas on them, the reason I mentioned that is, bananas run $1.25 a pound in Hawaii where they are grown! There are no heaters or air conditioner at their home and they have solar and they have to pay a minimal electrical bill of $20. They couldn’t exist there because everything has to be imported, except there is a COSTCO on the Island.

We did have one day for golf and it was a great course and it had as many as 7 tee boxes and because the guys that I played with hit the ball a mile, they moved me up about 5 boxes and I always out drove them, but it was better than having me hit two shots to be even with their drives. I only lost two golf balls, so I count that as a good day. We did go on a tour of one of the many gold mines in the areas and also an old train round house.

We stayed in a town called Angel Camp and this is a gold mine area and there are hundreds of these small towns, much like Panguitch. The towns seemed to be about 5 miles to 10 miles apart and the populations run from 200 to 4,200 and each town has a main street much like ours. These Main streets range from one to five blocks long and have a lot of interesting stores in them.

One thing that these little larger towns have in common is they

all have Quilting Guilds. My niece just move to this area from the San Diego area and the first thing she did was join the Quilting Guild and has met a lot of new friends there.

The mine tour was really interesting. The mine was operated off and on from the 1860s to 1942. It was 5,600 feet deep and there were a lot of stories that were there. The miners were paid about $2.50 a day for their efforts, but they could stay at the mine sleeping quarters and get 3 meals a day for a dollar a day. With the nearby town and all the booze and girls that were there the miners didn’t get rich. Actually they were a throw a way product that cost less than the timbers that shored up the mine.

In the 1930’s the mine caught fire and 38 of miners perished from all of the smoke.

The working conditions were terrible, it was 100 degrees in the shaft and they had 90% humidity. They ran two shifts and the night crew brought over 80,000 gallons of water out of the mine each night. They bound up mules and lowered

them down into the shaft to pull the ore carts, the mules only came out when they died.

It was really dark down in the mine and the mules would have gone blind from too much light had they surfaced.

Gold in the 1800s brought in $20 an ounce and it wasn’t until the '30s that the price went up to $30. I found it interesting that the miners would either dynamite the rock or jack hammer it and put the ore into carts where it was lifted up to the surface. Then they would crush the rock and send it through several processes and out of each ton of ore they only got a third of an ounce of gold, so to get an ounce they had to process 3 tons of ore.

The mine was closed in 1942, because it was too costly to mine anymore. It didn’t take it long to fill up with water. When I asked why with the high cost of gold now why don’t they reopen it and the guide said that with time the timbers have all rotted and it wouldn’t be possible to do that.

A woman (I don’t remember her name) purchased the

mine and the surrounding area as well as her house in 1947 for $47,000 and turned it into a museum, so the history of the mine would not be lost.

Gold Country is a fascinating area to visit, it is located in the High Sierras and is heavily wooded and there are deer everywhere. The deer are about half the size of our deer, the people that have plants have wire cages around them to keep the deer from eating them.

When we go west to northern California we always take highway 50, when it was built it was dubbed the loneliest highway in the country. It is used quite a bit now, there are stretches that are straight for 20 miles and you can make real good time on them. However there are 12 passes that you go over that really slow you down and they are quite high, one at 8,400 feet. Whatever you do don’t go that way in the winter because they don’t maintain the road, unless you like to put on chains. Put the Gold Country on your bucket list.

Bruce Willis by a f. d ii dus

OCTOBER 9, 2016 - I was thumbing through the Sun Valley Idaho Real Estate ads this morning and I see where Bruce Willis’ 8,403 square foot mansion that has a kitchen with dark wood cabinetry, steel-gray countertops, wrought-iron hardware, two Sub-Zero refrigerators, a Viking sixburner stove with double ovens, and two dishwashers and prominently sits on 23 acres, has had its price reduced over 50% to $6.5 million. I was actually considering it at $15 million but am glad that I waited. Now that I think about it, I feel I am quite satisfied with my 775 square foot, Wayne County, thrice remodeled, pioneer era bungalow with an outdoor clothesline, it suits me just fine even though life in this small town has some real challenges.

It's fall and the leaves on my huge cottonwood trees are slowly turning that golden color, not quite the color of a pumpkin but close.

The deer that have survived the neighborhood-hunting season, thus far, have eaten all the low hanging fruit…

There was a time that I used to scratch my head about the use of the term low hanging fruit, but I get it now.

I guess if I were Bruce Willis or I had spent the $6.5 mil on a place to live, I would not have to worry about a ton of leaves that are waiting to drop on my lawn.

Larry the Lawn boy would take care of them with a smile. Instead I will be on my knees praying for some Torrey wind on November 1st, a wind strong enough that most of the fall leaves will end up in Hanksville by Thanksgiving.

Firewood is always fun, if you are Wade Woosley. I don’t know what it is about that guy but I can honestly say I have never seen a bigger smile on someone than when he has a pick up filled with firewood. Pictures of the rear end of his pick up start appearing on Facebook in September and don’t stop until…well come to think of it, I don’t think they ever stop.

The owls are back, I like it when they show up on

my tree branches and hoot back and forth, I don’t like it when they poop on my windshield though, it makes it hard to see out of. They must be a life long couple as it is always the same two. I wish I knew what they were saying to each other, and I even try and chime in but do it from my kitchen. I don’t dare go outside for fear they will poop on me. I wonder if Bruce’s place in Sun Valley has a pair of owls?

You know it is getting cold when you see Jamie Don Pace up on a roof with a brush. His black face and white smile sticks out about a mile. If you need your chimney cleaned out you ought to give him call, I know he does a good job.

About his time of year I always start to wonder what winter will bring. Depending on where you look some weather reports indicate we should brace ourselves for above average snowfall, on other channels the weather lady says we won’t need to wear anything more than a reindeer sweatshirt and some shorts to Christmas dinner. Either way, like always, I am preparing for what ever I wake up to.

through the fields, at IFA and the Farm Bureau I hear the farmers had a good year.

Good for them, when they are smiling, we all are smiling.

Some one in their 90’s that I know asked me the strangest question the other day. I could hardly believe my ears when they said it, “What is a GRAMA request?” It made me feel sad that they would even be concerned about such a thing at their age but it seems to be more of a topic of discussion these days in some groups.

"GRAMA" stands for the Government Records Access and Management Act. “Why do you ask I queried?” “One of my good friends over heard some one else asking about a application for one and even though the person in charge of giving them out was congenial enough about the request, there seemed to be something troubling about it as the air was thick at the counter?”

As much as I tried to politely explain to my senior friend that a “GRAMA” request can at times be a good thing, they just couldn’t understand why it was a necessary step to get information. My friend kept saying, “What has happened to people these days, can’t we just

talk?” “Yes we can” I told her “and in my opinion there shouldn’t be the need for another government form to have open dialogue.”

I built a fire this morning in my fireplace. Every year I swear not to start one, at least until Thanksgiving but I always give in. Something about the crackle of a fire that makes me sit back and think about all the things I see and the people I talk to when I go out. I often think about Mack and Vicki and all the others that take time out of their week to give all the Insider readers something to read every week. It takes a lot of work to put words down on paper and did I mention the pay is great. On occasion and when I need it the most people say they read the stuff I write, and I can usually tell the ones that read it and don’t like it but it is what it is. What ever the case I want to personally tell the weekly writers thanks for the work that they do, I know how much it means to hear it, which is why I feel the need to say it.

Thanks…

Last Sunday, Brandie Hardman hosted a “Rock the Vote” event at Boulder Mountain Guest Ranch. It was wellattended and fun. Refreshments, campfire, music. It hit the right notes, which is to say it felt both serious and celebratory. Registering to vote is, after all, a rite of passage. Or a welcome to a new community.

It’s a bond expressing full participation in a society, as well as a statement of presence: I have a voice and I’m going to use it.

All the mechanics are in place to make voter registration easy: DMV (sign up when you get your driver’s license), mail-in, online, a website that provides a plethora of information. (https://elections. utah.gov)

And yet, I encountered individuals who thought they were registered, and they weren’t. Who thought they could sign up online, and couldn’t. Who’ve grown up here but can’t prove they live where they live (because utilities still go to a parent). Who can prove they live where they live are given a hard time about their out-of-state driver’s license they haven’t had time to go change. (The state does not require a driver’s license to vote.) And many still are having problems with the official county-assigned address required for registration.

(I can testify. I still need my two addresses for one house: my now official address and the address UPS knows.)

The state’s DMV system

doesn’t help: it doesn’t ask for a mailing address for voter registration. However, the county is mailing all ballots this election. Someone has to supply the missing information, but do individuals know this?

No one can blame the county for needing to ensure all voters are valid and live in this district. In those cases where a registration is, perhaps, not completely cut and dry, I want to know that our officials are doing everything they can to ensure a citizen’s access to the ballot.

Our town’s housing situation, mix-ups on the county addressing system, time and driving distances to take care of official business anywhere, all create unique circumstances for some registrants. I’m not saying rules should be bent.

I’m saying the default position should be in favor of the citizen. These are our neighbors, who earnestly want to vote, truly do reside here, and aren’t interested in committing voter fraud by any stretch of the imagination.

Voting is a right of all citizens. The most sacred duty at any level of our government is to ensure that right is upheld.

If you believe you have registered to vote, but have not voted in Garfield County before, you need to call the County Clerk’s office to verify your registration has been processed.

These are words straight from Camille Moore, County Clerk, herself. Please call. It takes only a couple minutes, she says, to pull up your records and check. 435-676-1120 The County must have a valid mailing address to send out election ballots. This happens October 18. By the time you read this, the deadline for mail-in registration is past.

You can still register online (if you have a Utah driver’s license or state ID). Otherwise, you need to register in person at the County Clerk’s office in Panguitch.

Alice Henrie PANGUTICH - Alice Riding Henrie, 93, was reunited with her sweetheart Lowell V Henrie, Sr. on October 6, 2016, in St. George, a day she had longed for more than 14 years. Through her long life, this elect woman fulfilled her callings as wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend with love, grace, elegance, and class.

Though Alice lost her own mother the day after she was born, July 11, 1923, she was raised, loved, and treasured by two wonderful sets of foster parents. Through her early teenage years, she lived in Panguitch, UT with Uncle James M. and Aunt Mary Ellen Riding Sargent whom she called Mom and Pops. After Mom Sargent’s death, Alice became a part of Archie and Leonia Sargent Cameron’s family in Springville, UT where she loved Elliot and Mary as her brother and sister. In Springville she made life-long friends and graduated from high school, but Panguitch, her birthplace, became her home because of that handsome Lowell Henrie.

Their partnership began on October 2, 1942, and became an eternal companionship when they were later sealed in the St. George LDS Temple. Dad set a high standard for their posterity in the way he cherished Mom and always treated her with love, respect, and kindness—with just a pinch of teasing. Mom flourished in the bonds of that loving, secure marriage as they raised their sons, working alongside Dad as a full partner in ranching, business, and meeting life’s challenges.

Mom was a superb homemaker who could cook, sew, bake, can, make peanut butter fudge without a recipe, clean, organize, decorate the house and maintain a beautiful yard, all in an elegant way on a thrifty budget. In addition to doing all that, she worked outside the home as a telephone operator during the "Number, please" era, and also many years as a secretary. Later she focused on assisting Dad in his many business ventures. Active in civic affairs, Mom was a member of Lady Lions, the Panguitch Homemakers, and Soil Conservation Auxiliary. One of Alice’s traits was to always be busy doing things with great perfection for her family and others, and that drive never left her.

A faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, Mom served in many Relief Society callings. She is renowned for her compassionate service, especially in making countless batches of delicious hot rolls. In later years, she enjoyed doing temple work.

Her legacy of family love will be honored by those who survive her, sons: J Richard (Bonnie) Henrie, Washington City; Lowell V (Janis) Henrie, Jr., Panguitch; Robert Val (Lorraine) Henrie, Gunnison; and Michael Lee Henrie, Murray; 13 grandchildren, 37 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-grandchild.

Her earthly posterity will increase very soon by two additional great-grandchildren and another great-great-grandchild. She is also survived by sisters: Joan Riding Benson, Phoenix AZ, and Jean Riding Robinson, Bountiful UT. Alice was preceded in death by her husband; parents: Jed Arthur and Alice Edith Stevens Riding; and a brother, Arthur J. Riding.

Heartfelt thanks go to those who gave Mom daily loving care these past 4 years at Ridgeview Gardens Assisted Living in St. George. And much appreciation to Dr. J Scott Parkinson plus Cindy, Georgia, Kim, and Vanessa of Dixie Hospice who cared for Mom and us these last few months.

Funeral services will be held Friday, October 14, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. in the Panguitch 1st Ward, 550 South 100 West, where friends may call from 10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Burial will be in the Panguitch Cemetery.
