Courtesy intermountain healthCare

Eric Packer, Cedar City Hospital Administrator; and Alberto Vasquez, Garfield Memorial Hospital Administrator were honored last week with Health Insight Awards at the Utah Hospital Association Annual Awards Dinner.

ST. GEORGE - Three Intermountain Healthcare hospitals in southern Utah were presented with 2016 HealthInsight Quality Awards for demonstrating high-quality patient care and a commitment to improving health care. The awards are presented by HealthInsight, a nonprofit, community-based collaborative working to improve health and health care for patients and providers.

The 2016 HealthInsight Quality Award recognized Dixie Regional Medical Center, Cedar City Hospital and Garfield Memorial Hospital for demonstrating high-quality health care and excellence in performance on a combination of publicly reported Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services inpatient and outpa-

tient process of care measures, patients’ perception of care measures and 30-day hospitalwide readmissions.

“The physicians, staff and volunteers in our hospitals are all focused on reaching out to our patients with the highest quality and compassion,” said Terri Kane, Vice President of Intermountain Healthcare’s Southwest Region, where the three hospitals are located. “I am so grateful for the heartfelt care I see day-to-day in our local hospitals. This recognition truly belongs to each person who gives so much to heal those we serve.”

"We are pleased to recognize these outstanding hospitals that continue to improve their quality of care year after year,” said Juliana Preston, Executive Director, Health-

Insight Utah. “Continuing to include patients’ perception of care in the award criteria allows us to reward a more complete picture of ‘quality’ health care at large and small hospitals throughout the state.”

The awards were presented on Thursday, Oct. 13, 2016 at the Utah Hospital Association’s Annual Awards Dinner at the Silver Baron Lodge at Deer Valley in Park City, Utah.

“We are dedicated to providing the very best in patient care and our efforts have been enhanced through our quality improvement collaborations with HealthInsight,” Kane said. “We are proud to be a recipient of this distinguished award.”

RSVP Honored at Annual Recognition Event

RICHFIELD - Six County RSVP (Retired Senior Volunteer Program) held their annual Recognition Event on October 6th, 2016 at Snow College in Richfield. The theme was a “RSVP Volunteers Are Worth More Than Gold” and lunch was catered by Frontier Village. Over 140 RSVP Volunteers from the Six County Region – Juab, Piute, Wayne, Sanpete, Sevier, and Millard attended the event.

During the past fiscal year 243 volunteers served over 49,726 hours. The purpose of the event is to thank these volunteers for the excellent service they provide to their communities.

Fifty-one local area businesses in Sevier, Sanpete, Millard, Piute, Juab, and Wayne Counties expressed their appreciation to the volunteers by contributing goods and services —which made it possible for every volunteer who attended the event to receive a valuable doorprize. Each volunteer received a BBQ grill/cooler from RSVP in appreciation for their outstanding service.

The Volunteer Connection had its second Totally Awesome Volunteer Award Winners.

One winner was selected from each county and Commissioner Topham presented the awards for both the Totally Awesome Award Winners and the Presidential Call to Service Awards.

Local Winners of the Totally Awesome Award are in Wayne County – Wayne County Sr. Lunch Group.

One hundred twenty-six RSVP volunteers received a Bronze, Silver, or Gold Presidential Service Award for qualifying hours over a 12 month period. – RSVP Event Cont'd on page 3

PANGUITCH - The Panguitch Rabbit Show was held at the Triple C Arena, on August 13th, 2016. It was sponsored and hosted by the local rabbit club. Annie Miller and her committee ran the show. All of the rabbit and cavy (guinea pigs) clubs hosting a sanctioned all-breed show are affiliated with the American Rabbit Breeders Association. (A.R.B.A.), which supports a hobby that is branching out world wide. All of the shows are judged by licensed rabbit or cavy judged.

All licensed with the A.R.B.A. The animals are judged by an A.R.B.A. standard of perfection for each breed. The Rabbit clubs in Utah travel a lot, exhibit several times a year, and get to meet great and interesting people from around the world. This club meets once a year at an A.R.B.A. sponsored convention. This A.R.B.A. sanctioned event is also held across the United States at different locations.

At this show you can see anywhere from 10,000 to 30,000 animals exhibited at one time, both rabbits and cavies. A.R.B.A. promots the rabbit and cavy industry and it's betterment through events like these.

Bill Barron

Editor: In the race for US Senate there is a candidate you may not have heard about. Bill Barron is running as an unaffiliated opponent to Mike Lee. Barron has a single issue platform: Climate. If you are concerned about the rapidity of change our climate is undergoing and if you want your vote to express that concern, Bill Barron is the U.S. Senate candidate to vote for.

Currently, candidate Lee is outpolling his Democratic opponent by more than 25 percentage points. Barron's goal of gathering 10% of the vote as an unaffiliated candidate won't alter the final result of the race, but it will have significant impact. Ten percent is a tipping point for getting political attention. It tells Washington that Utah wants climate action and that there is sufficient political will for politicians to step out and work across the aisle to solve climate change.

In September Barron hiked and biked across Utah from the Wyoming border to Arizona. All along the way he met with Utahns and listened to their concerns about Climate. In Barron's own words: "I'm the first to say that fossil fuels have made America a great and prosperous nation and that I'm grateful for that, and for the people who have worked so hard in the industry. But we are at a turning point where we need to think beyond the immediate and consider the world we are handing to our children and their children."

To learn more about Barron and his campaign you can visit his website: VoteForClimate.us.

A vote for Bill Barron is a vote for climate.

Confidence in Our Elections

Dear Editor, There is a growing movement to undermine citizen confidence in our elections that rivals the thoroughly discredited "birther" movement. What Mr. Trump would have us believe is that the election, at least for the Presidency, is rigged. Never mind that elections are administered by the states and counties, many of which have been gerrymandered so that they are under Republican control. If this notion is left unchallenged there may be many who will question the legitimacy of the 2016 election at both the national and local levels. This would be, at the very least, a slap in the face to dedicated public servants who oversee the process.

Here in Wayne County we are fortunate to have a County Clerk who protected our electoral process by exposing irregular behavior on the part of another county employee before she had a chance to entirely sabotage the election. She was aided in her efforts by her husband, a candidate for the Republican county commission slot,who wound up winning the nomination anyway. What we really don't need to do is to elect a man with so little regard for our precious electoral system that he and his wife did, indeed, attempt to rig the primary in Wayne County. We now have the choice between him, a write-in Republican candidate or a Democratic one. Let's remember that we don't have to do a thing just because "that's the way we've always done it."

We are lucky to have a county clerk with the courage to expose this attack on the electoral process. It is a shame that his courage did not result in the removal of the offending candidate from the ballot.

Gentrification Nation

Dear Editor, Gentrification is here, hot and heavy. It flourishes not only in big cities but the gentrification trend has made its way to rural areas where the cost of living has historically been lower due to readily available land and relatively lax building regulations. Here in Escalante gentrification is busily refurbishing our society, whether we realize it or not, like it or not.

The word gentrification sounds euphemistically pleasant, and indeed if you happen to be a member of the gentry, those with means, not having to struggle daily with all your might in order to barely get by in the world, it results in property values going up.

What happens when gentrification takes root is that poor people get displaced. Rental property which makes up the portion of low rent areas, that is to say affordable housing where they have been residing, becomes desirable for development into high value commercial property. Much of the homelessness that is epidemic nowadays in our country is directly due to the fact that people who have previously been able to subsist in a minimum wage existence have lost their dwelling spaces because the rent has become too high.

Sadly, since those with slightly better lots in life, being caught up in their work-a-day lifestyles, often fail to sense the immediacy of this problem; but believe me, when it’s happening to you - and it easily could - it quickly becomes all consuming.

Ask any person renting housing in Escalante how they’re managing and you’ll find that most are struggling; their rents have risen faster and higher than is understandable unless you see the bigger picture, that property values are being driven up as wealthy outsiders and speculators are seeking so called “beach front property” for second homes, vacation houses, and development property. In a nutshell, the wealthy are driving out the poor among us. Sure, if you have a job and are getting by you can stay as long as you’re suitable for the exploitation regimen. Or, if you have inherited property that your ancestors claimed from the indigenous inhabitants and can easily stay on the land, even hoping to hit the jackpot by selling bits of it during a speculation boom, who can blame you? Well, perhaps I can, and on several fronts, but you’ve got your own problems, hopefully you’ll figure it out, probably in the afterlife I imagine!

Have you noticed that there are several huge trailer camp sites being developed within a horn honk of the city? Do you realize that at the same time, self-contained camp trailers - which have previously been a widely used aspect of local housing - have been made illegal anywhere within the city limits? So, seemingly unlimited high dollar camp trailer sights are rolled out for the wealthy tourists, but the service workers and senior citizens on fixed incomes who are attempting to continue living where for decades they contributed to the town by working, shopping, renting and even paying property taxes are being effectively run out of town subsequent to the relatively recent zoning regulations and completely over the top rental rates.

I know that the folks of Escalante consider themselves to be good people and as a rule I’ll easily agree, I quite like it here. I fear though, that while comfortably reveling in goodness they’ll distractedly miss the silent departure of the humanity bus as they line up at Gentrification Station awaiting the torrential train of wealthy tourists and developers chomping at the bit to capitalize upon them.

If this concerns you, and in a real sense it certainly does, let our city council members know that zoning regulations which relegate people to the rank of refugees in their own state and town are hurtful and uncalled for. A society based upon right human relations must not be diminished by the bright and shining lure of prosperity, which is designedly beyond the grasp of its less fortunate members.

I’m not religious but I wholeheartedly agree with the philosopher when he said, “Whatsoever you do to the least of my people, that you do unto me.”

J. Nelson, Escalante

Trump is Great

Letters (Cont.) Page 3

Insider

The

It is time to let go of our negative judgments of Donald Trump, and to realize what a great man he truly is. Trump has accomplished what thousands of other political candidates have failed to do. He has ventured into territory never before trodden by a presidential candidate. He has graphically shown us the dark underbelly of our political system and our culture at large.

Mr. Trump's personal behavior and attitudes reflect the values and behaviors that many of us abhor, many of us agree with, and many of us act out in our lives. What are the shadow issues that Donald has so graphically placed in front of our faces?

In his campaign for the presidency Mr. Trump has deftly demonstrated the issues of lying, brutality toward women, distrust of immigrants, massive tax breaks for the wealthy (He pays not income taxes), discrimination against people who are not white, religious discrimination, discrimination against women, crude and disrespectful speech, selfish greed, and a blatant disregard for civility.

What a gift to us all! Now we get to see these behaviors acted out on network television. We get to hear the talking heads of TV news bantering about this underbelly of American life, personified by a presidential candidate. Millions of Americans are now talking about these important issues in their living rooms, at home, and at work.

My hope is that we Americans have the wisdom to see the dark side presented by Mr. Trump. Perhaps tonight when we are entranced by the blue screen… watching people abusing each other on our favorite TV show, we will reflect on how prevalent Mr. Trump's values and behaviors are in our country. Perhaps then we will find ways to improve our own attitudes and behaviors, to make the United States a better place to live for everyone.

Meanwhile, on the campaign trail Donald has sacrificed dearly for showing us the shadow of our culture. He has accumulated the scorn of millions of citizens. He has damaged the value of his own Trump brand name. He has made himself look gross and foolish in the media. And thankfully, he will not be our next president.

Let all give credit to Donald Trump. He has indeed taken the hard road to "Make America Great". And he has given us our first woman President!

Rocky Mountain Power Gives Scholarships EPHRAIM - A grant from the Rocky Mountain Power Foundation has provided scholarships to two first-generation Snow College students, Angie Stewart and Shelby Trapp. They will each receive $1,000 to be used for tuition, fees, and related expenses.

“Five years ago I had never put any thought at all into going to college,” said Angie Stewart, a Mt. Pleasant resident. With the exception of a half-year spent in private school, Stewart’s schooling took place at home. When she was 21, she earned her high school diploma. Stewart later began volunteering on the local ambulance and met a co-worker who was attending college. She registered at

Snow College soon after and first enrolled in May 2015.

The mother of four now has a 3.7 GPA and started in the LPN program this fall. She loves teaching and learning and plans to continue her nursing education until she has received at least a bachelor’s degree.

A graduate of Lehi High School, Trapp plans to pursue a career in the medical profession. Her interest in this field grew when her younger sister, Brooklyn, was diagnosed with a rare type of brain tumor.

“As my family has navigated through this experience, I have seen firsthand the importance of diagnostic imaging in the treatment of my sister’s medical condition,” she said.

During high school, Trapp re-

ceived a medical assisting certification from Mountainland Applied Technology College and is now attending Snow College, with a goal of becoming a radiologist. “I feel that because of my experiences, I will be able to empathize with patients at difficult times in their lives,” she said.

“Many Snow College students need financial aid and scholarships in order to complete their education,” said LeAnn Stoddard, chair of the Snow College Foundation.

“We thank the Rocky Mountain Power Foundation for this gift and recognize the impact their contributions have on the lives of our scholarship recipients.”

Intervention Specialist

New for this year, the district has created the formal position of Intervention Specialist. Mrs. Kim Quarnberg has accepted the fulltime position where she splits her time between Panguitch, Bryce Valley, and Escalante High Schools.

In the past year, Mrs. Quarnberg worked part-time helping students with grade recovery and working to get them credits towards graduation. This year, the program added the component to help students not fail any classes. Our goal with Mrs. Quarnberg is to increase the student graduation rate, help students remain in school, and make good on our expectation of “Empowering and Motivating Lifelong Learners.”

Mrs. Quarnberg is available to meet with students, teachers, and parents in any combination. Her job is to work towards the student’s success. If she notes something adding a negative effect, she will work to minimize that factor. Parents should contact Mrs. Quarnberg through the school counselor should you want to discuss an intervention for your student. She can help students maintain or recover eligibility for school athletics, provide a plan to recover lost credit for whatever reason, and provide a liaison service between students and teachers. October is National Dropout Prevention month. If your student is behind on their requirements, contact our new Intervention Specialist, Mrs. Quarnberg.

Living Planet Aquarium Visits Wayne County I liked when the Living Planet Aquarium came because we did lots of activities. One thing we did was name stages of the water cycle. We also did a fun activity when we made a cloud in a bottle. The best thing of all was when we touched the animals. This is why I enjoyed the Living Planet Aquarium.

—Ethan Petree When the Living Planet Aquarium came to our class, they showed and taught us many things. They showed us animals and told many, many things that they do everyday.

We learned about evaporation, precipitation, and condensation. We were the sun that made the water inside evaporate.

Our class watched the Living Planed Aquarium do the water cycle all at once! At the end, we made clouds inside bottles and pumped them up. When we opened the bottle...BOOM!!

Living Planet Aquarium shared amazing things with us that day.

—Koyo Ito Water Cycle The Living Planet Aquarium came to our school. They brought a model of the water cycle. It had mountains, a river, a pond, and run-off. It was spectacular! They showed how evaporation was water vapor and went up to the clouds and

cooled down and made clouds that got to heavy with water and made precipitation. Then they showed the groups of animals that were amphibians and reptiles. The showed us a toad and what’s the difference between a frog and a toad. We got to see a tiger salamander. It was awesome. Also, there were two snakes, a gopher snake and a python. They let us pet them. They felt so weird.

We got to do an experiment. They had some pop bottles that contained a little bit of rubbing alcohol. We used bike tire pumpers to pump some air into the bottles and when we opened it, it made clouds inside the bottles.

The Living Planet Aquarium was so much fun!

—Audrey Alexander 4th Grade Living Planet Aquarium The Living Planet Aquarium came to our class and they showed us this cool model of this snowy mountain and this river and big cloud. It had a little lake and a house and even little streams. He used the model to help explain the water cycle.

The water cycle includes evaporation, precipitation, condensation, collection and run-off. He demonstrated with his model.

The cloud rained on the mountain and went down in and in

the lakes and streams. They had a lamp that represented the sun.

They had some fog come out over the lake. It was cool!

We did an experiment with a bike pump. We put rubbing alcohol in a pop container and we had to pump air in the container four times. Then we took off the plug and a little curl of air cam out like a little cloud and fog covered the inside of the container. Then we had to pump four times without taking the plug off and the clouds went away. We had to figure out what caused it. It was evaporation!

After the bike pump project, they showed us the animals they had brought with them. The first animal was a tiger salamander. It was yellow with black smudges on it. They let us see it and at the end ask questions about it. The next animals were the snakes. The first one was the gopher snake. It was nice and we got to pet it. Its scales were slimy and if you didn’t pet it the right way, the scales could come off. The next snake was a python snake. They had raised her for quite a few years. She was blind and very sweet. She was really pretty. We also got to see a toad.

Our class really had a great experience. Thanks for coming to visit us, Living Planet Aquarium!

Panguitch High School Cross Country, Boys, 1A Champs AGAIN!

Panguitch, paced by individual first place finisher Jonah Schoppe, successfully defended its 1A state title in the boys division. Schoppe turned in a very impressive victory in the boys division, running a very fast time of 16:39.

Jonah’s winning time was 25 seconds faster than the second place finisher. Fellow runner Trenton Stowe with a time of 17:06 was third, while the Bobcats junior Bosten Englestead was ninth and a trio of runners Kaden Beckstead, freshman Luke Reeder and senior Joe Vasquez came in 11th 12th and 13th, as the Bobcats finished with a score of 36 points. Actually they ran away from the rest of the field, with Parowan a distant second with 73 points and Monticello with 76 points.

Coach Danny Yardley said “ it boils down to heart, we have some guys with talent but it came down to putting in the workouts and working as a team”. This is Coach Danny’s 6th championship in 6 years, 4 with the girls and now two with the boys.

For Jonah up next, he will be

defending his 1A Champion wrestling title. Trenton will be on the Basketball team that will be pushing for a championship title this year.

The very young girl’s team took second place at State this year. All five of the top 5 finishers will be back next year. Taylia Norris led the Lady Cats with a second place finish and she is only a freshman. Jordan Bennett also turned in a real good time and finished 14th. The Parowan Rams took the title this year, with three senior girls from last year’s championship team, their top 5 runners finished in the top

13 runners. Parowan had a score of 36 and the Cats finished with 48 points, look out for the Cats next year.

The Lady Cats Volleyball team won the Region 20 title at Wayne last Friday.

They won all four of their games in 3 sets. Only Milford was much competition.

The Lady Cats are red hot as they go into the State Finals tomorrow Friday and Saturday the 28th and 29th and the games will be held at UVU. Jordan Bennett, Abbey Blevins and Shantea Miller made the All-Region team.

Simply Perfect Ways to Give to Charity

by Jeffery J. mCkenna

When doing your estate planning, you have the chance to benefit those individuals and institutions that benefited you in your lifetime. Many charitable donors have shown their appreciation to different charities by making provisions for the organization in their wills or trusts.

Whether you have a large or small estate, it is very easy to make a simple charitable donation in your will or trust.

First, when doing your estate planning, you can inform your estate planning attorney that you want a certain percentage, or a specific amount, of your estate to be distributed to the particular charity (this can be a church, school, or other charitable organization).

Your gift does not have to be large.

Small amounts add up.

Your example of generosity and civic-mindedness, evidenced by a provision in your will or trust to provide for a specific charity, may be of more lasting value to your

loved ones than the assets you actually leave them.

The simple process of leaving a certain percentage of your estate to the charity can be accomplished through a will or trust. The procedure should not increase the cost of your estate plan nor the estate administration.

Another very simple method to provide for a charitable bequest upon your death is to add the charity as a beneficiary of your IRA. The process would require you to visit with your IRA provider and request that a new IRA account be established with whatever amount you want from your existing IRA account.

taxes would have to be paid.

If the IRA proceeds were distributed to your children or grandchildren, they would have to pay income tax on the distribution. Using an IRA to make a simple bequest to a charity greatly benefits the organization, and saves income taxes for your heirs. Additionally, it can save estate taxes as well.

This article gives a few simple techniques to help those that want to benefit a charitable organization.

I hope these techniques can be of assistance to you.

Crazy Coincidence!

I once taught a juniorhigh reading-skills program.

Each day my students received a page of the newspaper and we discussed the news, ads and photos. I encouraged them to share an item I would find interesting.

One student, a shy guy seldom joined the conversation, but he read his pages diligently.

One day I asked him what he had found. He said, "Did you know that all these people, every day die in alphabetical order.

Ewwww

When my daughter was about six years old, my sister was babysitting for the day.

My sister had a soap opera on television, and during a love scene, my daughter expressed how gross she thought it was that a man and a woman were kissing. My sister explained to her, "When a man and a woman are in love, kissing is not gross." She then said, "Your mommy and daddy kiss -- they're in love."

My daughter's rebuttal to that was, "No they're NOT in love -- they're MARRIED!"

Brothers

Once, when my two sons, Mikey and David, were young the subject of death came up while we were sitting down for dinner.

We talked about what each person in our family would be called if another passed away.

Mikey, my youngest, asked, "What would Mom be if Dad passed away?" A widow, I told her and if I passed away, Dad would be a widower.

Then he asked, "What would I be if David passed away?" My husband replied, "A suspect."

Well?

A grandma and her grandson were building a tree house out of old, dry lumber, and every time they hit a board with a hammer the knots fell out. The grandson said, "What are the holes for, Grandma?"

His grandma said, "Those are knotholes." The grandson said, "Well,if they're not holes, what are they?"

Grumpa

There was a father who was known by his family to be a chronic growler. He complained about everything.

He was sitting one day with his family in the presence of a guest in the living room when the subject of food came up.

One of the children, a little girl, was telling the guest what food each member of the family liked best.

Finally, it came to the father's turn to be described.

"And what do I like, Nancy?" he asked.

"You," said the little girl slowly, "well, what you like most is anything we haven't got."

FYI PanguItch

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com Turn out the lights the party is over, let’s call it a day. As has been the case for ever, the tourists seem to quit coming around the 15th of October. This has been a record year for most of the businesses in our area, especially this last month, with many of the motels with their “No Vacancy” signs out almost every night. It is time to catch your breath and do some partying with all your money that was made this year. All the money that the State spent on advertising the Mighty 5 Canyons and all of the surrounding scenery in Southern Utah really paid off. The advertising was done all over the country; we saw ads in Seattle and San Diego and the people have come in droves. I thought because our dollar is so strong that the tourists from Europe would stay away, wrong!

Eight years ago the dollar was only worth 83 cents compared to the Euro, now it is 98 cents and climbing. The British pound cost you 150 dollars to get 100 pounds 8 years ago, now it is down to 120 dollars.

I believe the sudden drop in the tourists at this time, is that the tour companies quit running tours. We have been fortunate to have gone on

many tours worldwide and the weather in the northern hemisphere is the same as it is here. Europe and China also gets cold at this time of the year and the tour companies quit running there also.

Panguitch’s cowboy wins Senior World Saddle Bronco Title. Panguitch’s own cowboy Lance Miller won the Senior Pro Rodeo Saddle Bronco Championship. The Rodeo was last week and it was held here in Panguitch at the Triple C Arena. Lance has spent a year of attending rodeos with stiff competition from other professional riders.

Lance had a 71 point ride that was good enough to take first place. Lance manages and maintains the Triple C Arena. There were 180 contestants that participated in this year National Championships. You must compete in a least 5 rodeos to compete in the championships, and it is based on your scores and how many points you are awarded, the top scorers qualify for the Championship.

Lance has been doing rodeos most of his life and his love for the sport was a natural that compelled him to join the National Senior Pro Rodeo Association. There

are approximately 400 riders that belong to the Association. Lance rides in the 40 to 50 year old group. The season starts in January and ends in October. Lance who was instrumental in bring this National event to Panguitch, was told that the Triple C will again host the Nationals next year.

Lance Miller was born in Panguitch and has lived here most of his life. He is married to Jessica and they have 7 children. He also received $500 from the John Orton Seed and Feed Store, for his tireless volunteerism.

This is couch potato time: the World Series start this week, neither team has won a championship since Chicago did back in 1945. It will be between the Chicago Cubs and the Cleveland Indians. Pro football and College games are full swing and the NBA will be starting this week also. Soccer and Hockey is also going all out. So get your Dr. Pepper and enjoy the Sports World.

November is loaded with things to do so get ready.

The 6th, “my worst day of the year” we go off daylight savings time and it will be getting dark at 5:30 pm. On the 8th it is the Election Day, you should have by now received your ballots in the mail. There are three ways to vote; by mail with a Nov 7th post mark. You can vote early in person (October 25th to Nov. 4.) You can vote also on Election Day (Nov 8th) at the County clerk’s office. To vote in person you will need a valid ID that has your name and photo on it.

The 8th is the Red Cross

drive and it will be at the Stake Center, between 1 and 7 pm. There is a real shortage of blood at this time. Give Jenifer Bremner a call for an appointment or just show up.

11-11 is Veterans Day and again the Panguitch American Legion will be hosting a Veterans dinner. All Veterans and their wife and Widows of Veterans from the Hatch and Panguitch area are invited. The dinner will be at the Senior Center at 6:30 pm, there will be entertainment provided. All Veterans are asked to attend the Veterans ceremony at the Panguitch Elementary School at 11 am on Friday morning.

11-12 is the annual Craft Fair at the Fair Building that will start at 10 am. There will be entertainment and you can get your Christmas shopping done early. There will be food available, which will be provided by PHS. Sub for Santa will have a candy / sweet treats booth and you can load up on the best homemade candies that will add pounds on you just by looking. Come early for the best deals. Mandy Soper and Karla Owens head this event up.

We will again, for the 8th year be hosting our annual Thanksgiving dinner. All are invited, so why waste your time cooking a turkey, when you can eat dinner with your friends and neighbors. The dinner is free and it will be at the Senior Center and it will start at 1:00pm.

Tourist season is still happening across the counties. The parking lots are still full of differently colored license plates.

To Everything There is a Season - Burr Trail Outpost.

It’s a coffee shop, a local artist shoppers’ mecca, the venue of the Saturday Markets, a community gathering place.

Sometimes, even during the crunch of tourist season, there’s no one there except for the barista. Other times, the place is jammed and humming. Tourists getting travel tips from locals. Locals arguing Topic-of-the-Day. Friends getting hugged and soothed.

Every town in our rural counties surely has a place like this, I hope. It’s with mixed feelings that the end of October looms. Those of us who frequent these places miss them terribly during the off-season months. Yet we also get our friends back: the workers in these places who can once again say “yes” to an invitation without having to check their work schedule.

The workers themselves are counting the hours at this point until season closing.

Eight or more months of 8+ hour days, double shifts, juggling schedules, managing absences. The hospitality, the smiles, the pleasantness that they all manage to exude, despite demands, complaining, language hassles, and the incessant interaction required in a service business.

“Why can’t we promote year-round tourism for our businesses?” This question was raised during the Oct 13 Escalante Commissioners forum between Jerry Taylor and Steve Cox. There are surely some business owners who would welcome this and could accommodate it. There are also those who can’t, and don’t particularly want to, as Steve Cox noted. “Economic development” is one of those buzz phrases that most people automatically agree is positive thing without going into details. The details are what need fleshing out.

Economic development does not, should not, look the same across the board, in all communities. Just as the west end of Garfield County likes to promote its ATV rides and car rallys, the Boulder side of Garfield County is happy promoting “quiet use.”

Quiet is among of the primary values most residents here treasure. We love hosting the tourists who get that: photographers, hikers, artists, bicyclists, bird watchers, backpackers. We mostly love reveling in that quietness ourselves, be it in these same activities or just enjoying the view off the back porch.

There’s no quiet, of course, like post season quiet.

Road sounds dissipate as the traffic dwindles. The comings and goings and MOVEMENT palpably diminishes. The low rhythm of the irrigation lines goes silent. Soon, the people you wave at are probably people you actually know.

Most people who reside

here do so because they enjoy the surroundings in which they live. There’s much to be said for full-time economic activity, but there’s also much to be said for a season of respite. You make hay while the sun shines, and you don’t get much say in exactly when that occurs. When someone walks in your restaurant door, you smile and welcome them, regardless of your headache or your mood or the last busy table that didn’t leave a tip.

So thank you, all you servers and greeters and hosts and guides. You’ve provided us with a season’s worth of gathering spots, food, and good gab. You’ve had a record-breaking year of business. (We’ll hear those reports soon.) Enjoy your “downseason,” whatever that means, whether it’s travel, or home projects, or just a different job.

The rest of us will enjoy it too, our quiet season. ... “a time to break down, a time to build up; ….”
