BVHS CROSS COUNTRY TEAM
Region Cross Country was held at Valley. The varsity boys did a phenomenal job and ended the regular season with a first place region trophy. They finished the year with an undefeated season, and will run at state next Wednesday. Our top five runners were Adam Platt (3rd), John Cloud (5th), Cajun Syrett (6th), Braxton Syrett (7th), and Chandlyr Tebbs (11th). They came in as a pack and ended up winning by a 33 point margin. Way to run guys!! The varsity girls also ran well. Sierra Leech had the run of the season and finished in 10th place. She will also be going to state as an individual. We also had three of our athletes who were awarded for their academic achievements. Sam Cloud, Cajun Syrett, and Alexis Tebbs were presented Academic All-Region awards. They have shown that they excel not only on the course, but in the classroom as well. Very impressive!! ( Nathan Platt and Scott Barton - Coaches for Cross Country Team of BVHS)

Public Invited to Open Houses on Plan for Glen Canyon Dam Operations
Beginning Nov. 7, the public will have an opportunity to attend public meetings on the development of a long-term plan that will determine the timing and volume of water flows from Glen Canyon Dam. Those flows affect hydroelectricity production, beach recreation, native fish and other river-related plants and animals, as well as archeological sites in Grand Canyon National Park and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The long-term plan will address routine operations as well as “experimental” flows that provide additional scientific information about how to protect endangered fish and lessen the effects of dam operations on downstream ecology and other resources. The plan will ensure that regulated flows on the Colorado River meet the goals of supplying hydroelectricity and water for communities, agriculture and industry at the same time they protect the ecologies of the Grand Canyon and Glen Canyon. The meetings, to be held jointly by the Bureau of Reclamation and the National Park Service, will take place in: •Salt Lake City, Utah: Tuesday, November 15, 2011, 6 to 8 p.m., Hilton Salt Lake City Center, 255 South West Temple, Salt Lake City, UT 84101.•Webbased meeting: Tuesday, November 15, 2011, 1 to 3 p.m. Mountain Time. For specific information about the web-based meeting and how to participate, please refer to the project website
at: http://ltempeis.anl.gov. Work on the new plan, known as the Long-Term Experimental and Management Plan (LTEMP), is the first comprehensive review of Glen Canyon Dam operations in 15 years. The purpose of the LTEMP is to use current and newly developed science to improve and protect resources of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Grand Canyon National Park, and Lake Mead National Recreation Area while also complying with the Law of the River, the 1992 Grand Canyon Protection Act, the Endangered Species Act, and other applicable laws. The LTEMP process will determine the need for future modifications to Glen Canyon Dam operations, and whether to establish an Endangered Species Act Recovery Implementation Program for endangered fish species below Glen Canyon Dam. Changes to dam operations and other actions taken by the Department of the Interior (DOI) will be evaluated as “alternatives” in an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The EIS will document and evaluate impacts of the alternatives. The public meetings announced today are part of the “public scoping” phase of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process. Public scoping gives interested individuals and groups the opportunity to comment on a proposed action, recommend alternatives, and to identify and prioritize the issues to be considered in the EIS anal-
yses. Scoping is the earliest, but not the last, opportunity for people to provide input on the Glen Canyon Dam LTEMP EIS. Each public scoping meeting will include a welcome and project overview session (15 minutes) and opportunities for the public to review exhibits, informally discuss issues, and ask questions of technical experts and managers. More information on the meetings will be announced through local media, newsletters, and the project web site: http://ltempeis.anl.gov. The public can submit comments by the following methods: • Website: http://ltempeis. anl.gov. (the preferred method) • Mail: Glen Canyon LTEMP EIS Scoping, Argonne National Laboratory, EVS/240, 9700 S. Cass Avenue, Argonne, IL 60439. Reclamation and the NPS will accept comments that are received or postmarked by Friday, Dec. 30, 2011. To have your name added to the mailing list for future information, visit the Glen Canyon LTEMP EIS website listed below or contact Beverley Heffernan, Bureau of Reclamation, Upper Colorado Region, Attention: UC-700, 125 South State Street, Salt Lake City, UT 84138-1147; facsimile (801) 524-3826.

This was a real sweet championship win for the Bob Cats, they were big underdogs in both of last weeks games, having lost both games they played against West Ridge Academy and Wayne. Dalan Bennett pitched both games and got the victories. The game on Monday against West Ridge, the Cats came away 17 to 9 winners in 7 innings. The Bob Cats committed 6 errors in the game and couldn’t quite get ahead by 10 to shorten the length of the game. West Ridge had won the two previous meeting between the two teams. Tuesday’s game was against the Wayne Badgers, who had won their two meetings against the Cats and were supposed to be unbeatable. Dalan had a no hitter through 5 innings and the Boys in Blue played an errorless defensive game for their best effort of the year. This was a total team win with each team member cheering the others on. The team got 14 hits off of the Badgers pitcher. Wayne had a 12 game winning streak going into this game. The Bob Cats scored a run in each of the first 3 innings and their big inning was in the 5th when they scored five runs on 6 hits and they added a run in the 6th and 7th inning. The Cat’s came away with a 10-1 victory. Tyler Brinkerhoff had 4 hits, while 4 of his teammates added two hits each, Tyce Barney, Josh Henrie, Jory Owens and Dalan Bennett help his game with a pair also. Brandon Birch made another one of his patented circus catches. This was a revenge game, last year Wayne won the Title with a 3-1 victory. In the last 6 years Panguitch and Wayne have won the Championship. Many of these same players will be back again
next. HOW SWEET IT IS, WINNING NEVER GETS OLD. Thursday was Region 20 Cross Country Championship. In the Girls race, Mighty Mouse Catania Holman ran away from the field, winning by over 2 minutes better than the girls from Wayne. It was fun watching Catania run, on the back side of the course the kids were cheering her on and she picked up her speed and just left everyone in her dust. Some of Panguitch’s volleyball team ran in this race and did really well, for most of them this was only their second race of the year. Carley Holman, Catania sister took 6th followed closely by McKayla Heaton 7th and Freshman Breanne Mooney 8th. Darri Frandsen another freshman came in 17th as our top 5 finishers. Amber Wilson and Sicily Houston will round out our team at State. The Lady Cats took 2nd to the Wayne Badgers, but made it a tight race, 36 to 39. Catania, it is my understanding, is the first girl to ever win region for Panguitch. The boys also came in second behind Bryce Valley. Keldon Norris was 4th, Kyler Norris 8th, Cade Cole 12, Garret Wolfey and Rowdy Miler rounded out our top 5. All of their times were their personnel best. Josiah Sarles and Brendan Lee make up the State team. The State Championship is on October 19th and will be again held at Sugarhouse Park. Both of the teams only have one senior on them and with so many good runners in the 7 and 8th grades; look for this team to only get better. At Piute, the first meet of the year, there were 112 runners in the 7th and 8th grades, so all of the teams in the region will only get better. Coaches
Danny Yardley and Gin Houston have made running fun for these kids, complementing all of the runners and thanked each runner for their efforts. The Volleyball players that ran down at Mount Carmel got back in time for their game against Escalante Moquis. The Cats did their thing and won in three games again. This was Senior Night and the last home game of the year. There was a big home town crowd, out to honor the two seniors, Carly Holman and Natashia Barney. Not only are these really very good athletes, they don’t make kids any better than these two. They will be back for the basketball season. It was announced at the beginning of the game Coach Troy Norris won the outstanding 1-A Coach of the Year. Even though Escalante lost, they have come a long way under the Coaching of Sabrina Hughes, two years ago they didn’t win a game and now they are very competitive team, good luck at State Moquis. The Lady Cats played in a Tournament in Richfield on Friday and Saturday. There were 16 teams and only 3 1-A teams. The Cats played 6 matches, in two days and came away with some very valuable experience playing against some very tall teams. There won’t be any games this week and play their last game against Bryce Valley on the 26th and the State Tourney starts on Friday and Saturday the 28th and 29th. The Lady Cats are the Region 20 champs this year, there won’t be a league playoff. The Deseret News rankings are: Rich 1, Monticello 2, Panguitch 3, St. Joe 4 and Wayne 5. The first season is drawing to a close and the Panguitch teams have represented the School really well, at all levels.

By Cynthia Kimball I once interviewed a woman named Sahara* who has quite a story. “I’ve been to rehab 18 times,” she told me. “E-IG-H-T-E-E-N times, can you believe it?” Sahara was embarrassed about this fact, especially the “18” bit. Yet, as she continued to talk, and as I got to know her, I saw someone who was nothing short of a success and her life actually, miraculous. Truly, Sahara had overcome the odds so much so that she latter got married, adopted children, became a faculty member at a college, got accepted into a doctoral degree program, among other positive and hopeful things. Yet, despite all of these great things, she was still fixated on being in rehab 18 times. As a matter of fact, when she spoke of her past, it was as though she were still that addict and unable to forgive herself. Instead of focusing on her reality: that of being a wife, mother, faculty member, doctoral student, sober, etc. Sahara’s fixation on her 18 rehab stints was affecting how she felt and thought about herself. This was evident in the way she spoke (worried about what others would thought) and in the way she carried herself (unassertively). Truly,
“Errors are… Portals of Discovery”
unless Sahara let’s go of that 18 rehab stint fixation, she may never be able to fully blossom into who she is destined to be. Motivational speaker, Tom Krause, said, “There are no failures – just experiences and your reactions to them.” That last part, “…your reactions to them” is significant in Sahara’s story. Instead of her 18 rehab stints making her, she is letting it break her, even though she is sober and doing very well. Indian philosopher, Mahatma Gandhi, said, “My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and my talents and I lay them both at his feet.” Think about that. We need all of the former and latter to become who we are born to be. If you have made mistakes in life –I don’t know anyone who hasn’t-- work to be grateful for those mistakes. And work to let those mistakes fuel you to become better. Learn from them. And help others to not make those same kinds of choices. Often times it is even in our mistakes and failures that we find out who we are and even what our passion and purpose in life is. For example, a person who gets clean from drugs and or alcohol may
end up being a Substance Abuse Counselor and find it a great fit. Actually, that’s exactly what happened to Sahara --except she didn’t become a Substance Abuse Counselor-- but she did end up helping other nontraditional students (those who attend college often later in life after having other life experiences such as raising a family, working full-time, serving in the military, etc.) get into college and see their talents and successes. Ironically, Sahara could do this for others, but she couldn’t do this for herself. So if you are like Sahara, and your mind is fixated on your past mistakes and failures, dig deep in your soul to look for the lessons from those mistakes and failures. And work to see how God may be molding and shaping you into who He needs you to become. As you do, keep in mind the words of Irish writer, James Joyce, “A man’s errors are his portals of discovery.” *Name change

School of Agriculture
The school of agriculture’s dean of admissions was interviewing a prospective student, “Why have you chosen this career?” he asked. “I dream of making a million dollars in farming, like my father,” the student replied. “Your father made a million dollars in farming?” echoed the dean much impressed. “No,” replied the applicant. “But he always dreamed of it.”
Ulterior Motive
Surgeons invited to dinner parties are often asked to carve the meat -- or worse yet, to watch the host carve while commenting on the surgeon’s occupation. At one party, a surgeon friend was watching the carving while Harry, his host, kept up a running commentary: “How am I doing, doc? How do you like that technique? I’d make a pretty good surgeon, don’t you think?” When the host finished and the slices of meat lay neatly on the serving platter, the surgeon spoke up: “Anybody can take them apart, Harry. Now lets see you put them back together again.”

WHS ANATOMY CLASS DISSECTS HEART
Tax Payment
There was a man who computed his taxes for 1998 and found that he owed $3,407. He packaged up his payment and included this letter: Dear IRS: Enclosed is my 1998 Tax Return & payment. Please take note of the attached article from the USA Today newspaper. In the article, you will see that the Pentagon is paying $171.50 for hammers and NASA has paid $600.00 for a toilet seat. Please find enclosed four toilet seats (value $2,400) and six hammers (value $1,029). This brings my total payment to $3,429.00. Please note the overpayment of $22.00 and apply it to the ‘Presidential Election Fund’, as noted on my return. Might I suggest you to send the above mentioned fund a ‘1.5 inch screw’. (See attached article -HUD paid $22.00 for a 1.5 inch Phillips Head Screw.) It has been a pleasure to pay my tax bill this year, and I look forward to paying it again next year. Sincerely, Tax Payer

Our co-worker kept trying to get her mother to fly out for a visit. “No way am I getting on an airplane,” was the inevitable answer. “Look, Mom, when it’s your time to go, it doesn’t matter if you’re on the ground or in the air.” “I know,” said her mother. “I just don’t want to be that far off the ground when it’s the pilot’s time to go.”

TAYLYR STEVENS COMPETES AT MISS UTAH OUTSTANDING TEEN PAGEANT
by Vicki D. Syrett 679-8687 or vickidiane36@hotmail.com
Taylyr Stevens competed in the Miss Utah Outstanding Teen Pageant on September 30th and October 1st in Provo Utah representing Garfield County as the reigning Miss Garfield Outstanding Teen. She played the piano for her talent which was a very fast and enthusiastic piece called “Whitewater Chopped Sticks” By Calvin Jones. Her platform was entitled “Makeover Madness” which Taylyr did for an FCLA project where she focussed on the selfesteem of girls ages 10-15. She is very excited for the coming year representing Garfield County as Miss Garfield Outstanding Teen and talking to the different schools in our county about her platform. Taylyr was the youngest competitor at the competition at age 13 and although she did not win she had a wonderful time, made lots of friends and represented Garfield County well! She learned a lot from her experience. She would like to thank Garfield County for allowing her to participate in this event.

On Friday, October 14, the Garfield Memorial Healthcare Foundation held its annual benefit dinner, fashion show, and auction at Ebenezer’s Barn and Grill in Bryce Canyon City. All proceeds from this event go to the Garfield Memorial Healthcare Foundation, which uses the funds to pay for equipment and other needs at the hospital and clinic. Recent purchases include a newborn hearing monitor and new beds for one wing of the hospital. The foundation is looking at purchasing a new ultrasound wand and table among other things with new funds. This foundation is an important part of our community and helps the hospital and clinic stay up with current healthcare advances and medical needs. Alberto Vasquez, Hospital Administrator and General Manager, was the Master of Ceremonies and commented that he was pleased with the success of the annual gala. This year’s event was very well received and made over $2,000 more than last year. There was more than 200 attendees from all over Garfield County and 30 tables were purchased by local businesses. Ruby’s Inn generously donated the barn venue for the big event, and the hospital kitchen staff led by Rena Coles made a delicious cowboy dinner featuring ham, roast beef, dutch oven potatoes, and homemade peach cobbler Yum! Bobbi Bryant chaired the foundation event committee and was responsible for pulling off such a marvelous foundation dinner and auction. The foundation thrift store presented a fun fashion show featuring local children (and a few brave adults) wearing clothes selected from the Thrift Store in Panguitch, with Grace Benfield as announcer and host. Tom Simkins was the auctioneer for the live auction and there was also a silent auction and door prizes. Nan Nay and Rochelle Mitchley donated quilts that were raffled as was a shopping spree at Joe’s Main Street Market. Healthcare Foundation Chair, Sue Barney, said “. . . the dinner was a
huge success this year and we were so happy to see such a great response from the community, both in attending the dinner and in donating items. The hospital is a valuable resource in our community and this was all for a good cause.” Becky Yard, Foundation Treasurer, said there were too many people to thank, and especially wanted to recognize Lynne Neilson from the hospital, and Bobbi’s team, Lue McMahan and Bonnie Sutherland. A big thank you goes out to all those who donated or volunteered their valuable time. (Cary Deccio) Congratulations to Shay Niemann who has been called to the Texas Lubbock Mission. He will enter the MTC on December 10th. Shay is the son of Toss Niemann and the grandson of John and Claudia Niemann of Tropic. Also congratulations to Gerald Nez, son of Ron and Kristine Nez, who was advanced to a Teacher, Tanner Barton son of Scott and Marie Barton who became a Priest and Chandlyr Tebbs son of David and Cherrie Tebbs who also became a Priest. The Tropic Ward Fall Social for the Relief Society was a very nice event. Great food, lots of friends visiting and making their crafts and a lesson in decorating our homes for fall. Thanks to those who did all the hard work for us. We sure enjoyed it. Pennies by the Inch is now in force. It is donated to the Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake to help children. Be generous and help these kids. There will be a TriWard Halloween Party on the 25th of October for the youth in Cannonville, Tropic, and Henrieville.

Henrieville Town had two Postal Service Reps come and explain their options pertaining to the post office in town. They were given five options and a few days to think it over and vote for their choice. They were told they would still get mail into town but not be able to purchase stamps or such as one option. No change was another option, and the town sponsoring the post office was another option. The info will be posted around town for the people to read and discuss so they then can do an organized proposal to the Postal Folks. It will be interesting to see the outcome. Gosh we are down here by ourselves anyways and now they want to take one town and take its identity away with the zip code and no post office. Ridiculous I say. The Lion’s Club Deer Hunter’s Ball was once again a great success. They had great food, dancing by some young folks, and a raffle. Kwin Willis won the raffle for the rifle and I could not get the name of the girl that won the 22. Tracy Johnson won the quilt that was a fund raiser for Cannonville. They want to build a place in the town park where there will be restrooms and a kitchen. Much like the one that is now in Tropic. We are glad to hear the Emily Pierson was not seriously hurt in the car accident and that she is up and around. Whew what a scare. Gardens are still producing vegetables. Yummy. Cannonville had the Primary Program today and it was wonderful. Everyone knew their parts and they sang many songs much to the delight of the people listening. Good work folks. Henrieville was treated to talks by Riley and April Roberts with a wonderful song by Duztin and Sarah Sorenson. Tropic had Steve Clark and his daughter Kyla McIntosh and they did great.

HOOFBEAT
(BVHS News) by Sam Cloud Eight long years ago, the Bryce Valley Cross country team was able to pull of an incredible achievement. They pushed, they worked, and in the end, the did succeed. Since that time, none of our teams have been able to replicate that event--Until now. Last week, at the Mount Carmel golf course in Valley, our boys were once again able to reach that goal. SImply put--WE WON THE REGION CROSS COUNTRY MEET!! Cool, right? First time in a long time and all that. More than that, though, our boys have been completely undefeated in our region for the entire cross country season. But they’re not stopping there. Yesterday morning, our team went to State with the determination to finish off their winning streak with a bang. Since I’m technically writing this several days ago, I don’t actually know how it went yet. But no matter what the final tally was, we know that our team has pushed it this year and given it the very best they could give, and that that counts far more than any stack of trophies. (Well, maybe. A little bit, at least) We had some sweet academic successes on the team as well. This year, three members of the cross country team managed to earn both Academic AllRegion and Academic AllState--Alexis Tebbs, Cajun Syrett, and Samuel Cloud. Nice job peoples. As Baseball and Volleyball come to a close, the real sport is finally starting up. The Basketball season has officially (sort of) begun. Both boy’s and girl;s basketball are warming up, getting ready for start of the games in November. The girl’s will be starting off the season with their first game on November 18th (barring any unforeseen changes). The boy’s basketball will start a little later, with the first game on November 28th (same thing). Good Luck Mustangs--let’s make our school proud. And, that’s about it. A special thank you from the
cross country team to the fire department and all the other people out there who gathered together after the Region Cross Country victory as an escort to welcome them home--that was cool. Also a thank you to the two amazing cross country coaches, Nathan Platt and Scott Barton, even if they did make us do temple runs every week. We couldn’t have done it without you. Adfditional notes by Vicki D. Syrett... Cajun Syrett was also an Academic All-State in Baseball as well as Cross Country.
BRYCE VALLEY ELEMENTARY
by Keilani Deccio Our school has had lots of great assemblies lately. We had dancers come from Salt Lake City and dance and teach us about dance. There were five dancers and one instructor and I think they were from Ballet West. Then we had the “Bird Man” come and he brought a falcon and a Golden Eagle. Finally, some people from the Utah Symphony came and played beautiful music for us. We have been learning a lot from these people. We want to say a big welcome to our new elementary school Secretary, Annie Eldredge. Also, we were sad to have some students move away last week. Goodbye to Hannah, Noah, and Abbi. We will miss you and wish you good luck in your new school! ..More Elementary School News by Vicki D. Syrett. The 20th and 21st is UEA so there will be no school.

FYI PANGUITCH By: Mack Oetting ~ E-mail: mackoetting @gmail.com This is my favorite time of the year, the color is magnificent and the weather is perfect, I don’t suppose we could vote Autumn in year around, do you? Panguitch had some great events this last week, not including the Baseball Championship (see sport page). Wednesday there was a surprise party for Betty Ann Rember and it was really a surprise, thanks to Janice Hatch. Janice lured Mrs. Rember to Panguitch for dinner and when they ended up at the City Park they were met by well over a hundred Teachers and Students. It was a good time by all and it gave Betty Ann a chance to say good bye to the Students and Teachers. The John Gillett family came down for the occasion, Jack the oldest son has grown into a young man in only a few months. The Gillett’s all looked great and are enjoying Manti, but miss Panguitch. The weather was warm and no wind and the food was really good and I don’t think anyone left hungry. I believe that Mrs. Rember was really touched by all the people that were there and is enjoying her new job at USU working with the student teachers. I heard that Utah’s Governor Herbert was here Thursday night and there was a dinner for him down at the Triple C Arena. I haven’t talked to anyone who was there, but it is great that he will know a little bit about Panguitch and our Area. The Panguitch Lions Club played host to Utah Lions District 28 T Convention, last Friday and Saturday. There were Lions from all over the State in attendance and they all were very happy with the first class convention that was put on. Bob Lowe the Convention Chairman and his Lion helpers went to great lengths to make the Convention come off real well. Dr Gary Anderson, International Director from Grand Rapids, Michigan was the guest speaker and
spoke on the Eye program that is sponsored by the Lions International. We had entertainment by the Bar G Wranglers, from out at Ebenezer’s Dinner Theater, at Ruby’s. We had many donations from the Community for our raffle and the grand prize was two nights and dinner at Ruby’s Inn. Lions Clubs throughout the Country serve their communities in a benevolent manner and are usually the only source of funding in small towns. The Lions helped fill up a number of the Motels and they got a good tour of the Quilt Walk Park I believe many of them will be back. Halloween comes on Monday night this year. With day light saving still on till the middle of November it should be daylight till until 7:30. I don’t know of anything going on at the schools, but if I do I will let you know next week. Stay alert for the goblins and ghost out trick or treating, with the mask they don’t see real well. Don’t forget the Elementary school Halloween parade around the block on Monday morning at 10am; it’s a real fun parade, with many of the best costumes on the Teachers. Attention all Veterans, this years Veterans Day dinner will be on 11-11-11. The dinner will be hosted by the American Legion, but you don’t have to be a member to come, all Veterans are invited, and their spouses. It will be held at the Senior Center, and the young ladies at the Center will be doing the cooking and there will be entertainment. Please give me a call so I can get a count. (6762418) Keep in mind the 4th annual Thanksgivings dinner and it will also be held at the Senior Center. This dinner is designed for all of those who don’t have plans for a large family dinner. Young families, Old, Single or Married all are welcome. Thanksgivings will be November 24th, the dinner gets bigger each year, so you all come.
When I was a kid the washing machines had agitators and wringers. It was fun sticking your finger in the wringer to see if you were quick enough to pull it out before it got you. You washed the clothes, wrung out the clothes into another tub to rinse and then you wrung them again and hung them out on the clothes line. In wood shop, our first project was to make a clothes fork. It took a whole semester to make, because every measurement had to be perfect. This fork was about 3 feet long and was used to pull out the clothes in the washer and run through the wringer. Our new wash machine doesn’t even have an agitator and it weights the clothes and puts in the correct amount of water, we have come a long way Mom. UEA is this week and school will be out on Thursday and Friday, many of the Teachers will be attending class up in SLC, to learn the latest technology. Earth is now the home to some 7 billion people, almost three times that of 1950. The birthrate isn’t up its longevity. The average life expectancy in 1950 was 46.6 years and today it is up to 67.6 years. The down side is that 35 million people suffer from dementia. The ration of women to men age 60 + 100 to 83, there are 66 million more women 60+ than men. There are 455,000 people that are 100 + and women make up 81% of the world’s centenarians. Those 80 + are the fastest-growing population, the oldest of the old are growing at 4% annually. Now that you know the facts there will be no more, I would have taking better care of my self if I would have known I was going to live so long. Maybe they should stop trying to get people to stop smoking, we are talking about a half million people that smoke were dying each year. Things are slowing down I can use your stuff. Mack O.

Ask A Specialist:
How Can I Avoid Spooky Spiders In My Home This Fall?
Answer by: Ryan Davis, Utah State University Extension arthropod diagnostician, Fall is the season for spider encounters in Utah. Many are nearing the end of their lives and are searching for mates and laying eggs. These habits can increase the chance of human-spider interactions. Below are descriptions of spiders commonly encountered in the fall in Utah. • The hobo spider is the spider most seen in the fall. Populations are large in northern Utah, and when male spiders leave their webs in search of mates, they often find their way indoors. The Utah State University Extension Utah Plant Pest Diagnostic Lab recently created a website to address questions about hobos at http://utahpests.usu.edu/uppdl/htm/hobo-spiders. • Wolf spiders are ground hunters and pursue prey in lawns and gardens. They do not spend much time in webs. In the fall, females have their egg sacs attached to the rear of their body (spinnerets). When the eggs hatch, small spiderlings climb up on the mother’s abdomen and stay there for about a week before dispersing. Large spiders in the genus Hogna cause particular concern this time of year, but like all wolf spiders, they are not poisonous to humans. • The banded orb-weaving spider and cat-face spider are two interesting looking spiders that Utahns might encounter. The adult female banded orb-weaver has a large, ovalshaped abdomen adorned with black, yellow and white stripes and black bands on the legs. The cat-face female has a large, oddly shaped abdomen that resembles the face of a cat when viewed from the proper angle. Cat-face spiders are attracted to porch lights where their perfectly shaped orb webs pluck flying insects from the air. This time of year, females sometimes wander inside homes or other enclosures in search of an egg-laying site. Once eggs are laid, females will likely die. The eggs will hatch next spring, and spiderlings will climb structures and plants, release long strands of silk and “balloon” away in the wind to new sites. • The golden huntsman (giant crab spider) is the most common huntsman spider identified by the UPPDL. These large spiders are gold in color with black mouthparts and dense black hairs on the end of their legs, giving the appearance of dark socks. These “socks” allow the spider to climb up almost any surface. They are commonly found under the bark of trees or in narrow, secluded places. • The tarantula can be found as far north as Cache County, but Utah is on the northern border of its native range. In the fall, male tarantulas leave their underground burrows and migrate in search of female mates, sometimes into home landscapes. The genus of tarantula found in Utah is not harmful to humans. None of the above spiders should be feared. The influx of spiders usually ends in late October, and tolerance of these beneficial creatures is the ideal strategy.

Garkane Energy member/consumers in the Escalante and Boulder areas, experienced a power outage early Mondaymorning, October 17, 2011, due to a severe micro burst, which hit the area. The power went off at approximately 6:50 a.m. Monday, October 17. Power was restored to the Escalante area by approximately 7:30 am and by approximately 9:15 am in the Boulder area. The outage was caused by severe microburst winds, which passed through the Transmission Corridor. Garkane crews were immediately dispatched to patrol lines and restore power. No equipment or structures were found to be damaged, but enough dust was stirred-up due to tornado type winds, that the circuit was tripped. Garkane reminds its customers that the transmission lines serving our areas are radial (no loop feed) in nature, and long outages can occur if something happens on the line such asthis. Garkane reminds its customers to plan ahead for weather-related power outages. Choose an easily accessible closet or cupboard for an emergency supply of flashlights, batteries, blankets, and other needed items.

ESCALANTE NEWS
Marlene Haws Ph: 826-4859 marleneh@color-country.net There is a new face at Wells Fargo Bank these days. Hans Nisson is a new trainee there. For those of you who don’t remember, he used to be the manager at the Canyon Country Store so many of you are probably acquainted with him already. A Fundraiser/Soup dinner was held at the Community Center on October 8, for Sheldon Steed. Sheldon recently had heart surgery and hasn’t been able to do anything since then. Apparently there was a great turnout and quite a bit of money raised. He has done a lot for other people over the years so he is a most deserving recipient of such a gesture from friends and family. We all wish him the very best. Florence Alvey went to Cedar City on the Senior Citizen Bus last week and came back with a cast on her broken wrist. We hope that will heal quickly for her. All comments have been taken onto account about improvements at the race track. It has been decided that, for the time being, grass will be planted inside the race track and other ideas will be explored for a private venture for a driving range for golfing. One of the sites being discussed is near the high school. This may take private money and several individuals have expressed an interest in going this route. A committee was formed and if you are interested in joining in you can contact Quinn Griffin at 616-4660 or Auggieab@ gmail.com or 616-4588. Pratt and Arcola Gates, Margo Smith and other family members went to Salt Lake to see Justin Gates the newly returned missionary son of Darren Gates. Justin served his LDS mission in the Dominican Republic and spoke in his home ward last Sunday. He will be coming to Escalante to speak in the First Ward Sac-
rament Meeting in a few weeks so you may want to watch for that. Will Godsey, husband of Katie Griffin Godsey, is moving their belongings here from Harlotown, Montana. Will is going to be working for Shane Young and Katie already has a job at the elementary school. Katie is so excited and we are happy for both of them. This is a good arrangement for Katie and sister, Brooke Palmer, who have been able to juggle their working schedules with baby sitting for each other. Shane Young and his crew are building the house for Danny and Sheri Meisenbach in the Lane Liston field just East of the reservoir. Ryan and Tari Cottam have also begun work on their new house, located between the homes of Myron Cottam and Brent Cottam. Their head carpenter is Tari’s father, LaMar Feltner of Tropic. Daughters of the Utah Pioneers, Escalante Camp, held their third meeting of the year last Thursday evening at the Senior Citizen Center. They are invited to eat with the senior citizens at 5:00 that evening and their meeting begins at 6:00 P. M. There were 24 in attendance: Sandra Porter, Lois Barney, Almeda Haycock, Ardis Christensen, Lana Christian, Rolain Alvey, Florence Alvey, Golda Cottam, Jeannie Davis, Joleen Dodge, Sheila Faulkner, Julie Ford, Carrie Griffin, Thais Griffin, Susanne Mclemore, Carolyn Porter, Marie Porter, Peggy Soren, Margean Schow, Laura Engberg, Sue Mosier, Karen Rangitsch, Josie Muse and her mom, from Boulder, and I’m sorry I didn’t get her name. Arnold and Deon Alvey spent the week with their daughter, Raylene Whitefield and family in Las Vegas. Robert and Marlene Haws
went to St. George last Monday for Robert’s appointment with his heart doctor. He will not have to go back now for another six months. They stayed overnight with Brandon and Sarina Haws and family. They also visited, and had lunch with, Randie Haws in Hurricane. On Thursday Marian, Rick and Marlene Haws went to Richfield and back. We either go every day of the week or we don’t go for months! Right? The Second Ward had a fun “Fall” Party. They decorated, had a potato bar and had made arrangements with Crockett Dumas to come and lead them in some dancing. But Crockett became ill and couldn’t make it so they visited and played games. Ray Barney has all of his gardening done and everything cleaned up and by the time you read this he will be recovering from his second knee surgery. Mark Griffin, St. George, has been here helping his father, Gene, get everything wound up before winter sets in. The two of them and Myron Cottam have spent a little time in the hills with their metal detectors too. You know the old saying, “All work and no play….?” Stephanie Volker and her children are here, from St. George also, helping her mom, Thais, wind up the housework. Gene and Thais are planning to spend part of the winter in Mesa, Arizona again. Where did the summer go? It is really good to have the Wayne and Garfield County News combined. We need to know what our friends on the other side of the mountain are doing!
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
I would like to inform the employees, parents and students of proposed changes in Garfield School District policies on electronic devices such as cell phones, smart phones, computers, or any type of communication device. Currently we have two conflicting policies in our District related to Acceptable Use of these devices. The USBA (Utah State School Board Association) policy states, ‘it is appropriate for students and teachers to possess and use these devices as long as they do not interfere with the learning with the learning environment.’ The Garfield School District has a local policy restricting the possession of these electronic devices for students and teachers during the school day or school events such as dances etc. I started working on this policy by sending an email to all teachers in the District asking for their opinion on the issue. I received over thirty responses from teach-

PINE LAKE DAM ON ESCALANTE RANGER DISTRICT TO BE REPAIRED ESCALANTE, UTAH – The Dixie National Forest has issued a permit to the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources to begin rip rap repair on the Pine Lake Dam starting on October 10, 2011. During the approximately thirty-day (weather dependent) repair one popular road across the dam will be closed temporarily. “This repair is necessary to fix old and inadequate existing rip rap,” said Terry DeLay, Escalante District Ranger. “We appreciate the patience of forest visitors while the repair is completed.” The existing rip rap is old and inadequate and is causing benching along the upstream face of the dam. The project will remove the old rip rap and the dam will be graded. New rip rap will be created from a combination of imported and salvaged material. Ruts at the crest of the dam will be repaired and the road will be graded. During the repair, the road across the dam will be closed. No dispersed camping will be allowed adjacent to the dam. Visitors wishing to access the South Pine Lake, Henderson Canyon Trailhead, and Burro Trailhead will need to use Forest Service Road 131 (from John’s Valley Road). You can obtain a map of the area from local Forest Service offices in Escalante or Panguitch.
ers and administrators in the District. I personally read each response from the employees and proceeded to work on correcting the discrepancy on the two policies. The new proposed Garfield District Policy will be presented to the School Board on October 27th for their review. The new policy will allow students and teachers to possess electronic devices on school property. Under this policy, students would be allowed to use their wireless communication devices before school, during their designated lunchtime and after school. Students would not be allowed to use the devices in class if they disrupt from the learning environment. If you would like to read the proposed policy in its entirety it is available on the District web page.
www.garfield.k12.ut.us It is interesting to note we have over 100 guest connections available at our schools. On any given day, every guest account will be tied up with an electronic device connecting to our network which means students are carrying the devices and connecting to our networks even if they are not supposed to possess them. It is my intention to educate the students on the appropriate use of these electronic devices. The devices are part of their lives and will be for years to come so it is very important to help students become responsible for their actions in using the electronic devices. “If we teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob our children of tomorrow.” Superintendent Ben Dalton

“PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES SHOULDN’T THROW STONES”
The basic meaning of this proverb is that it is not very prudent to criticize others for faults that you probably possess yourself. For instance, let’s just say in all honesty that your own financial record keeping does not exactly qualify you to be a certified public accountant, but in your incomplete financial wisdom, and lack of anything better to do, you personally find it necessary to publicly humiliate your neighbor for not being able to balance his/her check book. (Clue, the real public spotlight does not shine brightest on your neighbor.) A similar proverb to this one is, “The pot calling the kettle black”. In the old days, both pots and kettles invariably went black from the heat and smoke of the cooking fire, so the meaning of this proverb is that if you yourself have certain observable characteristics, it really isn’t that good of an idea to point the finger at others. There is also a Biblical saying with the same meaning: “Before you remove the mote from your brother’s eye, see that you remove the beam from your own.” All of these declarations aim at the same idea: and that would be, that it is much easier for some to see other people’s failings, than to see their own. These affirmations, and many others like them, come from the wise, and not so wise among us, and have been around for a long, long, time. They provide timeless lessons for us all. We do not come into this world knowing all of life’s answers. What fun would that be? In my opinion, it is our personal challenges in life that teach us the most. As challenging as it can sometimes be for me, I will admit I have made my mistakes in life, big ones on occasion. Still, I refuse to let the mistakes I have made define who I am, because I know I can and will continually strive to make my life and those around me better. “Love thy public servants” until you yourself are willing to personally accept the challenge and try to take their place.

RESPECT
ing to each other? No wonder some people may be disappointed after living day in and day out with their spouse! After a few months, everybody realizes that they married an imperfect human being with just as many faults as their own. Nobody can measure up to the expectations set during courtship. If you focus on their faults, your respect for them will slowly erode over time. You might not notice anything until you feel the opposite of respect: contempt. If you feel contempt from your spouse, do you want to share your emotions? No! When you see your spouse roll their eyes, use a belittling tone of voice or manner, call names, or make fun of you, then this is contempt. The flames of respect and friendship need to be fanned. The respect you feel safeguards your spouse’s emotions. If your spouse does not feel their emotions will

Think of someone that you don’t respect. Maybe you don’t respect your boss, a co-worker, or a family member. Respect is cast by the wayside when a person does not measure up to our expectations. Think about how you feel about that person. Dislike, contempt, and a few other negative feelings come to mind when thinking about people who do not deserve respect. Now think back to when you were first falling in love with your spouse. You both worked so hard to put on a good front. Likewise, you both looked at each other through rose-colored glasses. His penny pinching was viewed as thriftiness. Her emotions demonstrated her sensitivity. Each of us saw our future spouse as more than they actually are. As you built your castles in the air, your respect for your future spouse grew. Communication flowered naturally as you wanted to discover everything about your future spouse. Your ability to listen to your spouse was magically present rather than the natural urge to be thinking about what you want to say next. Your were able to use a respectful tone of voice, think an extra second longer and treat him/her in a respectful manner. Respect led to patience in communication. Remember those long hours of talking and listen-

be respected, they will not share what they are thinking and feeling. The good news is that respect is built or torn down by what we focus on. Concentrate this week on the positive traits of your spouse. Try to appreciate his thriftiness or her sensitivity. Each day make a list of all the positive things your spouse did that day. You can also take a trip down memory lane and include things they have done in the past. Talk to your friends and family about all the things you love about your spouse. Most importantly, share a few of these items with your spouse each night. Everybody loves to be complimented, and your respect for your spouse will grow. And as your respect grows so to will your ability to communicate, listen and treat him or her with respect will improve as well. Which in turn will lead to more joy and happiness in your marriage and less pain and misery.

ESTATE PLANNING FOR LIFE
In doing estate planning, it is essential to plan not only for death -- but for life. Lifetime planning involves preparing for the care and management of assets in the event you become incapacitated. There are two main objectives of lifetime planning. First, it is important to plan for the effective administration of your estate upon incapacity. Second, it is important to preserve the estate if your incapacity requires professional longterm care. Effective administration of your estate during incapacity. In planning for the administration of your estate during incapacity, it is critical that certain documents be executed. All individuals engaging in estate planning should strongly consider executing a durable power of attorney.
A durable power of attorney will enable someone else to manage your assets should you become unable to manage your own assets for any reason. If the power of attorney is not “durable” (which means it specifically states that it will be effective in the event of your incapacity), it will not be effective if you become incapacitated. Significantly, many powers of attorney are not durable powers of attorney. Preservation of your Estate During Incapacity. In addition to concerns related to how your estate will be administered during your incapacity, you must also consider expenses related to an extended period of incapacity. In a previous article, I explained that Medicare and private insurance do not cover long-term care (care for the basic functions of life such as eating, dressing, bathing) for extended periods. Medicaid is the government program that covers extended long-term care. Because Medicaid is a welfare program for the poor, an individual will
only qualify after income and assets have been depleted. In doing lifetime planning to preserve your estate during incapacity, it is usually not advisable to deplete your estate in order to qualify for Medicaid. A more effective approach for planning for incapacity would be the purchase of long-term care insurance. Long-term care insurance greatly eases the burden of paying for longterm care. In working with families that have long-term care insurance within their estate, I have found a much greater degree of comfort and security. The children are relieved and grateful that their parents have considered and provided the means to assist with the burden of long-term care. Often, the long-term care insurance is used to provide assistance that enables a parent to stay in the home of a child. Jeffery J.

Tropic Knapweed Treatment Workday Scheduled For November 5, 2011
The Canyon Country Cooperative Weed Management Area (CWMA) and partners will sponsor a Russian knapweed treatment spray day on November 5, 2011 on private and public lands within the Tropic Area. Knapweed is listed as a noxious weed in Utah, and infests rangelands, pastures, roadsides, recreation sites or any disturbed soils. Knapweed releases chemicals into the soil that inhibits the growth of competing vegetation. Those interested in participating should meet at the Tropic maintenance shed, 212 west 200 north at 9:00 a.m. Please bring spray equipment preferably already calibrated. Gloves and goggles will be provided along with herbicide and sprayers. To earn CEU’s for pesticide application please come at 8:30 a.m. and meet with the instructor, Kevin Heaton. Dedicated Hunter hours may also be earned. Lunch is being sponsored by Canyonlands Soil Conservation District. Project sponsors include the Canyonlands Soil Conservation District, Utah Department of Agriculture, USU Extension, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, US Forest Service, Garfield and Kane Counties and Color Country Resource Conservation and Development and local landowners. For more information, contact USU Extension agent Kevin Heaton at 435-676-1117.
