WAYNE COUNTY ANGEL TREE PROGRAM

OR LOSE YOUR MEDICARE PRESCRIPTION COVERAGE

If you have received a notice that your Medicare Advantage plan is not going to be available in 2012, it is especially important that you carefully consider your options, and enroll in a new plan during the Open Enrollment Period. Failure to take action will not end your Medicare benefits for hospitals and doctors. But it could result in losing prescription drug coverage for all of next year, with no way to get it back until 2013.

Most people who have received this notice will have the option of enrolling in another Medicare Advantage plan. If your old plan included prescription drug coverage, you will want the new plan to include it, too. Those who don’t have this option, and those for whom 2012 Medicare Advantage plans don’t work well (for example, they don’t cover the medications you take), can revert to original Medicare coverage, and choose a separate standalone drug plan. In Utah, there are 33 such plans, with premiums starting just over $15 per month. But, just like Medicare Advantage plans which include drug coverage, you want to be sure the plan you choose covers your medications. So the lowest premium may not be best for your needs. You need to compare them for total overall cost.

This can be done online at www.medicare.gov. Have your Medicare card handy, as well as a list of your prescription medications (including name, dosage, and frequency of use), and the name and address of your favorite pharmacy.

Remember, selection of a new Medicare Advantage plan, or a new stand-alone prescription drug plan, MUST be completed by December 7, the end of the Open Enrollment Period.

Those who decide to revert to original Medicare coverage also have the guaranteed option to purchase supplemental, or “Medigap” coverage, which can help pay for the deductibles and co-payments that original Medicare does not pay. Medigap policies, however, do not cover deductibles and co-payments for stand-alone drug plans.

Everyone should know that there is plenty of help available to assist them in understanding the choices, and in making the selection that best fits their needs. Trained help is available at 1-800-MEDICARE [1-800-633-4227] 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Or, you can contact the Utah SHIP program at 1-435-893-0736, for honest, objective, and accurate advice from a fellow Utahn.

Once again this holiday season, Wayne County will participate in the Angel Tree program.

The Angel Tree will be in Royals Food Town in Loa the weekend before Thanksgiving. The process is simple; select a tag, purchase the gift, return the gift and the tag to either the Bicknell Community Cen-

November 4th & 5th 10am to 5pm 33 South Main, Loa Free Candle with $50 purchase Door Prizes - Free Brownies APPLICATION SEASON FOR H.E.A.T. PROGRAM BEGINS NOV. 1

Home Energy Assistance Target (H.E.A.T.) applications will be accepted beginning November 1, 2011 and continue through the end of September, 2012 or until funds are exhausted, the Utah Division of Housing and Community Development announced today.

H.E.A.T. helps eligible families pay for home heating, cooling, and other energy costs, as well as helping to weatherize eligible families’ homes.

“During these tight economic times communities throughout Utah have seen increased demand on key services, such as energy assistance for low-income families. The recent cold snap puts even more pressure on families as they weigh the need to turn on their furnaces,” said Utah Division of Housing and Community Development director Gordon Walker. “The energy subsidies we are releasing this season will help more families afford heat and avert difficult choices too many Utahns face between paying for heat and paying for other essentials like food and medicine.”

To qualify, a family must earn below 150 percent of the federal poverty level: about $33,000 for a family of four. Priority for H.E.A.T. assistance is given to households with the highest energy burden in relationship to household income while taking into consideration vulnerable populations such as the elderly, disabled and families with young children.

Utahns are encouraged to visit our website at http://housing.utah.gov/seal/offices.html to find their county’s contact information, or to dial 2-1-1.

The H.E.A.T. program is administered by the State Energy Assistance and Lifeline office through a statewide network of local community-based organizations. Last year, the funding enabled the H.E.A.T. program to assist more than 50,000 low-income Utah households with their utility bills.

The H.E.A.T. program is Utah’s version of the federal LIHEAP program (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program LIHEAP). It is funded 100% by the Federal Government through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Utah’s State Energy Assistance and Lifeline Office is managed by the Utah Division of Housing and Community Development under the Utah Department of Community and Culture.

For more information on the heat program in your area, Call Garfield County Heat Office at (435) 467-8597, or Wayne County residents can call (435)893-0745. Applications are taken by appointment only.

MIRIAM WAGSTAFF PLAYS WITH THE UTAH VALLEY SYMPHONY

Twelve students under the age of 12 performed with the Utah Valley Symphony at the Covey Center at the “School Concerts”. What a wonderful experience for eleven year old Miriam to be talented enough to

With the end of first quarter behind us many schools will be scheduling SEP’s (Student Education Plan) formally known as parent teacher conferences in the Elementary schools and SEOP’s (Student Education Occupational Plan) in the High Schools. The requirement to have SEP/SEOP conferences is found in the Utah State Code 53A-1a106 which states each local school board, in consultation with school personnel, parents, and school community councils or similar entities shall establish policies to provide for the effective implementation of a personalized student education plan (SEP) or student education/occupation plan (SEOP) for each student at the school site.

The purpose of the SEP/ SEOP is to effectively recognize the student’s ac-

SEP/SEOP complishment, strengths and progress towards meeting the student achievement standards set by the Utah State Office of Education.

Some common items generally discussed in an SEP conference should include the students reading benchmark scores set by the DIBELS testing. Core testing results for students in math, language arts and science.

Teachers now have the ability to track each student’s core testing from year to year and see where the students made progress for that specific year or fell behind. Teachers should cover classroom expectation in student behavior, homework, student strengths and areas for improvements. Parents may ask any question they may have relating to their students behavior or academic performance.

inviting way. Miriam is the daughter of Clay and Rebecca Wagstaff of Tropic and the granddaughter of Melvin & Virginia Wetzel of Henrieville and Fred & Dyan Wagstaff of Cannonville. We are all proud of Miriam for her accomplishment on the violin. It is wonderful to hear her play and she does it so well. Her teacher is Megan Cottam of Cannonville, who does an excellent job with all of her students. For more information on our ‘School Concerts’ please visit http:// www.utahvalleysymphony. org/schoolconcerts.php

ents choose to take their students with them and others choose not to take their students, this is your choice as a parent. There is currently no requirement to bring the students to SEP conferences but it may be beneficial to have students explain why the received there grades, receive praise from their teacher for all of their hard work and identify areas that may need some improvements.

In high schools we use the term SEOP because we focus more on the occupations student may want to pursue when they graduate from high school. Teachers and counselors will review classes aligning with the occupation the students have expressed interest in. The current graduation status may be reviewed to make sure students are on track to graduate.

Parents may want to ask about scholarships that may be available to the student.

We strongly encourage parents to bring their students to SEOP conferences so that their areas of interest in their future occupations may be identified.

SEP/SEOP conference days will be half days of school. Dates that have been submitted to the District are scheduled as follows: Panguitch Elementary November 2-3 Boulder Elementary November 9 Panguitch Elementary February 21-22 Panguitch Middle/High February 21-22 Bryce Valley Elementary November 3-4 “Teachers open the door, but you must enter yourself.” –Unknown Superintendent Ben Dalton

Every1Counts “The Wandering Eye Shows a Lack of Respect”

By Cynthia Kimball Men do it. Women, too.

And of all ages, especially after the hormones have set in.

I recently asked a friend of mine, after he shared with me that his deceased father had had a wandering eye, how it made him feel.

“Horrible. It was embarrassing. Here he’s married to my mom, but he’s still checking out other woman.

It made me sick.”

“Did you ever say anything to him?”

“No, I only saw him on vacations and I didn’t’ want them to be about that.”

“And this was after the affair?”

“Yes,” he said embarrassingly shaking his head back and forth.

My friend and his family (i.e., his mother and two sisters) found out later in life that their father had cheated on their mother with various women throughout their time together as a family unit. It probably didn’t help that their father went straight to the “lounge” (what is today known as a bar) immediately after he got off from work.

There he would smoke, drink, hang with his buddies, and flirt with women.

After his nightly routine, late at night, my friend’s father would then head home to his wife and three children.

It wasn’t long after that that his father began his longest affair to date with his 20 year younger secretary who was also a former classmate

to my friend’s oldest sister.

To make matters worse, my friend’s father and his girlfriend moved into an apartment together.

My friend, his mother and two sisters were not only devastated, but humiliated.

Fast forward fall of 2011.

I’m sitting in a large Midwestern airport waiting for a connecting plane. And as I watching the myriad of commuters I find several men –and some women—checking out the opposite sex.

The worst part in observing this behavior is that many of these people appeared to be sitting next to either a wife or girlfriend or husband or boyfriend.

I get that men check out other women. I get that women check out other men.

But, I believe, the real question is to what extent?

One scripture I love nails what I believe Heavenly Father would want you to use as a guide as you go about your daily lives, “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also,” (3 Nephi 13:21). And hopefully your treasure is the person you are with and not in the others that pass you by. You know, beyond the initial inkling when a person catches your eye as Bigelow (2007) alludes to in his fictional story, Kindred Spirits, “If you don’t look once, you’re not a man. But if you look twice, you’re not a missionary,” (p. 68).

Having dated before and

also been married to someone who had a wandering eye, I can tell you that when it’s being done to you, it is horrible, like my friend said above. Whether it’s done overly or covertly (and yes, we know when you are doing it whether it’s blatant or done slyly).

If you have a wandering eye and someone confronts you on it, why do you deny that you do and reply with something like this instead, “You’re just insecure?” Or, “I’m not looking at anything, what you are talking about?”

The truth is that you need to take the mirror test and grow up. Blaming someone for your insecurity and bad habit is wrong. You seriously need to take accountability.

People are watching you. And yes, some are even learning from you, even your sons and daughters. Is this really a habit you want to teach them?

I think American poet Ralph Waldo Emerson sums up nicely what you will get whether you continue with your wandering eye or give it up, “Men are respectable only as they respect.”

tHe lAuGhiNg pOiNt!!

Dads and Babies

My two daughters were having a discussion about family resemblance. “I look like Mom,” said my nineyear-old, “but I have Dad’s eyes and Dad’s lips.”

The six-year-old said, “And I look just like Dad, but I have light hair.” Then she turned to me. “Mom,” she asked, “what does Dad have to do with us being born anyway?”

Her older sister jumped right in. “Don’t be silly.

Dad is the one who drove Mom to the hospital.”

New Defense

The day after a verdict had been entered against his client, the lawyer rushes to the judge’s chambers, demanding that the case be reopened. “I have new evidence that makes a huge difference in my client’s defense.”

“What new evidence could you have?”

“I’ve learned that my client has $10,000 that I didn’t know about.”

Chauvinist

Mary was married to a something of a chauvinist. They both worked full time, but he never did anything around the house and certainly....not any housework. That, he declared, was “woman’s work.”

One evening Mary arrived home from work to find the children bathed, a load of wash in the washing machine and another in the dryer, dinner on the stove and a beautifully set table, complete with flowers. She was astonished, and she immediately wanted to know what was going on.

It turned out that her husband Charley had read a magazine article that suggested working wives would be more romantically inclined if they weren’t so tired from having to do all the housework in addition to holding down a fulltime job. The next day, she couldn’t wait to tell her friends in the office. “How did it work out?” they asked.

“Well, it was a great dinner,” Mary said. “Charley even cleaned up, helped the kids with their homework, folded the laundry and put everything away.”

“But what about afterward?” her friends wanted to know.

“Oh, that part didn’t work out,” Mary said. “Charley was too tired.”

Fall is getting more like spring, it teases you along with a couple of nice days and then it gets really cold, warms up and starts the cycle over again. Let’s count our blessing on the few warm days, because pretty soon they will be gone for what will seem like forever.

I hope you got out to the Elementary Schools annual Halloween parade, its fun to see 260 kids dress up in all kinds of costumes.

A lot of events coming up! Janzen Orton has a birthday on 11-5 same as mine. I used to think that because I live in a woman’s world, a wife, two daughters and three granddaughters, that kept reminding me when my birthday was and telling me how old I am, I would still be 18, if it wasn’t for them. But as I grow older my thinking has changed to you can’t have too many birthdays.

11-11-11 is Veterans Day and there will be a dinner at the Senior Center. This dinner is for all Veterans and their Wives, and Widows of Veterans. It would be nice to have the National Guardsmen from our area to come , you don’t have to be old to come to this dinner.

On the same night there will be a Search and Rescue dinner for the County members and their spouses. It will be held out at Ebenezer’s dinner theater, at Ruby’s Inn. Contact your squad leader about attending, in Panguitch and Hatch its Justin Peterson (676-8390) There will be a Jacket for you at the dinner if you call.

11-12-11 the next day will be the Panguitch Annual Christmas Craft Fair.

This year it will be held at the Social Hall. For the best deals come early, at the last few Fairs they have had over a thousand people show up. Again this year Santa’s helpers will have the best candy our local ladies can produce and all funds will go to the Sub for Santa fund.

We finish off November with the fourth annual Thanksgiving dinner.

Again we will have entertainment and turkey with all the trimmings. All are welcome young and old , families, singles, widows and anyone that doesn’t

have plans.

The Cedar news paper reports that the Panguitch Lake dam will be repaired

by December 1st. The gate will be replaced and instead of the valve being on the top it will be on the side and I think the gate will go side ways, instead of up and down. There has been asecondary dam in place, while the gate is being replaced. I understand that the streams coming into the Lake are still flowing and the Lake is refilling, we need to pray for the same amount of snow that we have received the last couple of season.

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN HE IS CHECKING HIS LIST!!!!!! Saturday December 3rd 10:00 am- 11:30 am. Santa visits the children at the Social Hall.

11:30 am – Santa visits the Extended Care Center Residents.

1:00 pm – Merchant Drawing also on the following Saturday s ..10th and 17th.

Shop Locally. Must be present to win! 5:00 – 8:00 pm – Christmas Home Tours.

Write these dates on your calendar so you won’t miss out on anything.

I went to the School Board meeting last Thursday night. The Board awarded the heating replacement units to our local company, Crofts HVAC. There will be heating units installed in each class rooms and will be put in place above the ceiling. The gym and boys locker room will also receive new heating. The antiquated boiler system in the school is over 30 years old and all of the pipes are in need of being replaced.

The cost for replacing the boiler and piping would be more than building a new school. The new heater system will do away with the boiler.

There was a lot of discussion over the schools swimming pool. The cost for replacing the ventilation system in the pool would run about $90,000. A lot of people spoke of the benefits of the pool and mainly the swimming program for all of the children in County.

The repair of the pool would come out of the Building fund. However there would also be a need

for a pool heater, to replace the boiler and hopefully a new salt sanitation system.

The School decided to take the bubblegum approach to repairing the leak in the drainage system, instead of jack hammering out the old pipe as it is leaking about 2,000 gallons of water a day; the board voted to turn the pool back to the City.

What really bothered me was the Debbie Pollock statement that the cost for the pool was coming out of the teacher wages. ( I think she is right). When the School was built next to the pool, I believe it was sometime later. The idea was to use the pool wall so the district could save building a wall. The school took over the running of the pool and a recreation fee was put on your property tax. It amounted to $32,000 for running the pools matentence fees, in Panguitch.

Bryce Valley and Escalante each received $16,000, half going to the high school and half going the elementary; they used it to buy playground equipment and various recreation indevourse. 5 years ago Escalante gave up their $16,000 to help fund half of the $32,000 payments for their well, so they could have green grass at their running track. Thursday night I was informed that the recreation tax is no longer paying for these projects out of the recreation funds. So Debbie is right, the money for the pool two years ago was $30,000 and the water for Escalante was $62,000 last year, and it must be coming out of the general fund. (Escalante’s water was $32,000 for payment on loan, $7,000 for electricity to run the pump, $10,000 for a new pump, to replace the 1 year old pump, and $15,000 for water for the high and elementary schools). I believe if the board is not using this recreation tax for what it was intended, it needs to be repealed. Someone correct me if I am wrong and I will inform the readers.

Pray that all will be safe with our troops in Iraq, so that they will return home to their love ones by the Holidays. What a wonderful Christmas this will be with them home. Mack O.

We want Sandy to know she is in our thoughts and prayers.

I heard from Rosa Lee (Thompson) White and she is doing well. She is married to Ryan White and they have a sweet little baby. It was fun hearing from her and what she has been doing in her life.

After the holidays both Berkely and Susan Thompson will fly back and spend time with their families.

The youth of Escalante Stake met in Escalante on the 1st of November to perform their Road Shows. It was a lot of fun to see all that talent.

Henrieville has been holding town meetings to work on the proposal for the US Postal Service about their Post Office. They are hoping the committee will consider their proposal for Henrieville.

Sheldon and Jaime Pollock were sealed in the St. George Temple on Saturday, October 29th. They had almost all of their family members there in attendance and they were sealed by Myron Cottam.

Jordan Shakespeare, Hunter Mathews, and Shan Thompson all attended the Order of the Arrow Ceremony at Quail Creek.

BRYCE VALLEY ELEMENTARY

This coming Thursday afternoon and all day Friday will be S.E.P. Conferences by appointment. Please attend and see how your child is doing.

There was a wonderful Halloween Carnival held on the 31st at Bryce Valley Elementary. Lots of folks attended the Trunk or Treat before hand and then wandered into the carnival inside the school. Thanks to all the people who helped make it successful.

HOOFBEATS

(BVHS) Sam Cloud The first quarter is ended--we are officially halfway through being halfway through school. Time is rapidly moving along, and fall is going fast. Halloween has come and gone, the tricks and the treats have been collected, and the costumes have been put away for another year. Carnival was good (we hope) and the haunted train ride was a reasonable success (same thing). The pumpkins and the jack ‘o’ lanterns have been gutted, demonstrated, and are now happily residing in various compost heaps throughout town. All over the place, the signs of fall are in the air as the attention turns toward the next momentous holiday-the glorious Turkey Day. Also known as Get Out of School in November Day and Macy’s Parade Day. Probably also Thanksgiving, though I’m not a hundred percent sure on that one.

For the high school sports, the fall season is officially over, with satisfactory performance all around. Cross country has run their last race, taking Second in State.

(Which totally rocks.) Our team excelled dramatically, with two of our runners getting into the top ten 1A runners of Utah. The rest of our team was excellent as well.

With Baseball, Volleyball, and now Cross Country finished, the sports attention focuses onto boys’ and girls’ basketball. The teams are already practicing and warming up for their first games in mid-November.

We wish them luck. Debate and wrestling are also getting started this month.

Rock it out mustangs--let’s have some fun.

TORREY NEWS Adus Dorsey The week of 24th thru the 31st of October brought with it a change in the weather and shuttered some doors in and around the Town of Torrey. As the result of the sudden drop in the mercury on the wood-shed thermometer, the chlorophyll in the trees made a hasty retreat, and the once summer green leaves have turned dirty yellow. A small but growing group of up-county citizens has gathered in hopes of conjuring up just enough wind to send the loose leaves and left over Halloween decorations down to our good friends in Hanksville. Nighttime lows in the teens should come as a reminder to change the batteries in your smoke detectors and buy new furnace filters, not to mention winterizing anything that has water in it. Your insurance agent will appreciate your effort. The Torrey Town Maintenance Department has also been performing winterizing projects in the cemetery and Town Park, marking shut-off valves and filling pot holes, as well as other road repairs in preparation for Torrey’s six-month winter. Torrey Town residents and concerned citizens in and around the Town of Torrey are encouraged to report observable signs of system maintenance conditions that need the attention of Torrey Town’s maintenance personnel.

Under the direct supervision of Councilwoman Jennifer Howe, major plans are in the works to spruce up the Torrey Town cemetery entrance. It is hopeful that over the next few months the chain link fence on either side of the cattle guard will be removed and cement forms and footings will take its place. Local livestock owners are requested to control their animals during the construction phase, in an attempt to respect the peace and tranquility of the Torrey Town cemetery residents. Plans are also being implemented to perform much needed maintenance to the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers (DUP), Camp Radiare building, which is Torrey Town’s most recognizable historical landmark. For information on how “You” can contribute and support these worthy community improvement projects, contact the Torrey Town Hall @ 425-3600.

The native deer herd and gun shy residents of Torrey have been a bit skittish this last week in October during the hunt. Gun shots have been heard on the outskirts of town, prompting panic phone calls to the authorities. No people accidents have been reported, but the deer didn’t fare so well. Some local businesses have expressed a growing concern about the amount of camping trash that the annual deer hunters bring into town for disposal in their commercial trash bins. The deer hunter camping trash concern is certain to become a Torrey Town agenda item for winter discussion, along with the newly purchased holiday decorations, and plans for the annual December Torrey Town Holiday Hoedown at the DUP. The Wayne High School girls volleyball team played in the state tournament at Utah Valley University (UVU) on the 28th and 29th of October. In a nail-biter set against Panguitch, many Wayne County parents and onlookers, all wearing Wayne High colors, could be easily spotted in the stands cheering, shouting, moaning and groaning throughout the five intense final games. It was high drama the likes of what might be expected on ESPN or at a Torrey Town Council meeting. The girls put on a great show, and in my opinion they are all winners.

Long time Torrey resident Lenore Hunt Peterson, daughter of Floyd Albert and Elsie Anna Laura Ostberg Hunt (September 22, 1926 - October 25, 2011), passed away this week at the Gunnison Community Living Center. Lenore played the role of second mother to many of us here in Torrey and Wayne County. Lenore’s home was always warm and open to anyone that came to her door. More times than not there was a quilting frame in her living room with a quilt in the near stage of completion. Her gentle voice calling from her kitchen still rings in my ears, a pleasant reminder that we all possess a special place in this world.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR TO RESIDENTS OF WAYNE COUNTY

The following is an excerpt from an October 12, 2011 letter from the Utah State Tax Commission. “…..an audit of the Wayne County Assessor’s Office was conducted by the Utah State Tax Commission to comply with Utah State laws. During this investigation, the Utah State Tax Commission found insignificant issues which were presented to Carolyn Moosman and rectified with the help of a Utah State Tax Commission representative. It is the Utah State Tax Commission’s opinion that Carolyn Moosman did not have any malicious intent or acquire personal gain within any areas of concern during the investigation.

Though Richard Davis and his cohort continue to present complaints, as of the date of this letter, none of them have been determined to be significant. …..”

Based upon the results of this audit, Wayne County Commissioners unanimously voted to give Carolyn Moosman a vote of confidence and thank her and Trina Pace for doing an excellent job under extremely difficult circumstances.

It is our hope we can now move on and concentrate on the many positive opportunities that are available to improve conditions in Wayne County.

WORK AND EARN, PAY TAXES AND DIE.

by Arthur Bacon His horse went dead and his mule went lame, And he lost six cows in a poker game.

Then a hurricane came on a summer day, And blew the house where he lived away; An earthquake came when that was gone, And swallowed the land the house stood on.

And then the tax collector came around, And charged him up with the hole in the ground. (author unknown) While most of us can’t really muster up too much interest in somebody else’s personal tax squabble, despite the thrill of impending libel, we all (except for millionaires of course) have a fiscal (as in taxes) responsibility to support our government and the kind of civil society we have come to cherish. In any event, the fact of the matter is that taxes are a necessary inconvenience. As Charles-Louis de Montesquieu, said in about 1730, “In constitutional states liberty is compensation for the heavy taxation; in despotic states bondage is the price of light taxes.”

Hmmmm. The bottom line is, all governments tax!

I saw an odd bumper sticker the other day which said, “I love my country; but I hate the government.”

Well, the thing is, the government is exactly the thing which makes a country good or bad; otherwise it is just some real estate and a bunch of people. There are some really nice beaches and mountains in Cuba and the people are fantastic; but who wants to live there? I think it is safe to say that the government, i.e. the form of government at least, is what makes or breaks a country.

And for those who don’t firmly believe that we here in the United States have the best form of government I suggest a brief vacation to Russia, Mexico, Cuba, North Korea, Iran or China to experience the other, less palatable alternatives.

I’ll bet that bumper sticker comes off faster than you can say antidisestablishmentarianism.

First of all, taxes are nothing new: “Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part (of your crops and sheep)” (Genesis XLVII) Happily, taxation evolved over the millennia from being a playfund for the royalty to being a help-fund for the people.

Certainly, by the Renaissance, savvy political thinkers like Machiavelli knew that the government would be prudent to provide certain (necessary) services for the people…although representative government and taxation through representation, was still a few centuries away.

Notwithstanding King George’s petulance, insisting on his stupid Tea Tax, Samuel Adams and his buddies in Boston 238 years ago weren’t objecting to taxes per se, but to “taxation without representation.” The problem for us Americans now, in the 21st Century, is that the catchphrase “No taxation without representation” has been attenuated to no taxation, period. For some inscrutable reason we Americans are bereft of an appreciation for the need for taxes. Frankly, I don’t get it.

A recent poll by Cornell University revealed some interesting particulars about (taxation and) government assistance. Most notable was the fact that when asked if they had ever used some kind of government assistance 57 % of responders said “No”. These same people were then asked whether they had ever availed themselves of such things as unemployment insurance, a Pell Grant, Home Mortgage

Interest Deductions, Social Security, Medicare and 15 other federally funded programs. 97% said “Yes”. In a New York Times article titled, “Our Hidden Government Benefits” Suzzane Mettler (Cornell), argues that this sort of unawareness is actually a threat to our democracy because it permits, if not encourages, the sort of partisan, obstructionist antigovernment, anti-tax which redounds to exclamations like the guy at a town hall meeting held by Robert Inglis (R-SC) who yelled, “Tell the government to keep their hands off my Medicare!”

Sadly, this guy wasn’t being facetious.

I mean, lets take a look at America without state or federal programs supported by income tax. After the big snow storm who is going to plow the roads? (Where are those intrepid County Road Crew guys?) How do we know there is going to be a snow storm? (Does the National Weather Service come to mind?) National Defense?

What are the odds a few guys from the local militia would get to Pakistan, find Bin Laden’s hide-out and kill him? That’s an interesting thought isn’t is; no federal military. By the way, Sam Houston tried the private army thing and look what happened at the Alamo. It took the United States Army to steal Texas, Arizona, Utah, Nevada and California from Mexico. And then it was the government (and Abe Lincoln) which came up with the Homestead Act for which many of us in Wayne County (and the rest of the west) can be thankful. Anyway, what about our roads? Do we really want to go back to private toll roads?

Imagine driving to Salt Lake on a road owned by General Motors and paying a dollar every twenty miles. So, one night your house is on fire and you call…oh dear, who do you call in an emergency without 911 (established by the Federal Communications Commission in 1967) or an agency of the state or local government to help out …and so your house burns down then what? Is Home Depot going to come in and give you money and temporary accommodations?

LOL. (lets hear it for FEMA) You like to eat a lot of vegetables but some guy picking that stuff forgets to wash his hands and you and hundreds of other healthy eaters start dying from e-coli bacteria?

What? You think Del Monte is going to have the interest or resources to pay your hospital bills and solve the mystery? (Center for Disease Control) And now your kids are going off to college.

Wait a minute; where did they go to high school without a public school system?

Anyway, without government of course, all universities are private (private, as in for profit) and cost a king’s ransom for four years of Charades (AKA…BS).

Is there a Mr. Pell in your neighborhood who is going to take up the slack of these expenses? You want to find out what to do about your chronic back pain so you go to the Internet for advice because you don’t have health insurance and cannot afford to see a doctor. Hey, wasn’t it funding by the United States government to the National

Science Foundation which created the Internet? You’ve been working for a hardware store for ten years and one day they go out of business (thanks to Lowe’s). You are out of work and have a family to feed. Who is going to help? (how about state unemployment insurance) How do you know that the plane you are in at 35,000 feet is running properly?

(FAA) How do you know the drugs you take are safe? (remember thalidomide?)

The drug companies don’t care) Your kid rolled over in his pick up truck but survived because he was wearing a seat belt…who made that law? (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) You just broke your leg way out on the Parker and you need to call in help so you call on your I-phone and give your GPS coordinates and voila, help comes.

Who put up those 26 satellites anyway? (Department of Defense) Remember the H1N1 outbreak a few years ago. Are there private companies monitoring outbreaks of swine flu around the world like the NIH? I don’t think so. I mean, the list of benefits, hidden or otherwise, which we get from our taxes is endless.

This is not to say, for a nano-second, that the government always spends our tax dollars wisely: OMG! Bridges to nowhere! But we are a huge and diverse country with a veritable Pandora’s box, of problems begging for succor. Furthermore, we have to acknowledge the philosophical reality that some of us have to pay for other people sometimes thousands of miles away. We’re pretty lucky here in Wayne County but we cannot ignore the needs of our fellow citizens in New Orleans, New York or Joplin or anywhere else afflicted by floods, tornadoes and terror.

So we need help but hate the government (and taxes).

Here are some facts to think about the next time you get the Mid-April Blues. Wayne County gets about five million dollars in agricultural subsidies a year from the federal government (Farm Subsidy Data Base). Wayne Health Clinic gets close to a million dollars from the federal government (both cash and insurance benefits) and Wayne School District also gets close to a million dollars from Washington.

Wayne School District gets another two million from the state. I’ll bet if we add in SSI, Medicare, Medicaid, Utah State Employment services, Utah State University Extension services, Federal jobs from the Forest Service and Park Service (not to mention construction contracts) unemployment benefits and Social Security the final government expenditure in Wayne County would be something close to 10 million dollars a year ($5,000 per resident)!

I mean, there ain’t no cure for the April Blues and we still don’t get anywhere near what the Swedes, Finns and Danes get for their taxes, which aren’t much more than ours actually (total maternity leave, day care, housing, education, health care, retirement benefits and senior care) but all in all, it still beats the lottery.

NATIONAL FFA CONVENTION AWARD

CLASSIFIEDS Garfield: 676-2621 Wayne: 836-2622

Picture L-R: Tristin Harker, Caroline Van Dyke, JayCee Gleave & Brittney Hagel

The Wayne FFA was selected as one of the top eight chapters in Utah and represented Utah and their chapter at the 2011 National FFA Convention. The National FFA Organization recently selected, from a pool of more than 650 candidates nationwide, Wayne FFA as a National 2-star winner in the National FFA Chapter Award program.

Chapter representatives we invited to the 84th National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Ind., October 1922, 2011, where they were recognized for this honor.

The award program is sponsored by John Deere as a special project of the National FFA Foundation.

The National FFA Chapter Award program recognizes FFA chapters for developing and conducting a de-

tailed Program of Activities (POA). Each activity provides opportunities for members to excel in one of the three areas: student, chapter, or community development.

During the awards dinner students had the opportunity to listen to Patrick T. Grady who presents a humorous and inspiring messages on enhancing relationships and on productivity.

During this trip the members participated in the FFA career show and the following career tours: Shelbyville Horse Farms, Churchill Downs, Louisville Bat Factory & Museum, and the Jim Beam Distillery.

Tristin: This is a fun experience. The FFA members may be from different states and may have differ-

ent talents or areas of interest, but we have the same purpose.

JayCee:This experience was not like any other. It was so much more. We got the chance to see some amazing things and learn more about agriculture. The FFA is more than a club-It’s our lifestyle.

Caroline: This was an amazing trip. We had the opportunity to visit places that have an impact on American Agriculture.

Brittney: National FFA Convention was an amazing experience. My favorite activity was going to the Shelbyville Horse Farm. I am glad I had the opportunity to go to Indianapolis.

It was unforgettable and one the the best FFA experiences I have had.

BARBARA PACE CELEBRATES HER 90TH BIRTHDAY!

What Are the Symptoms of AR? AR typically causes several symptoms. First, the nose is congested so badly that you can hardly breathe. Second, the nose runs with a large amount of clear, watery discharge. Nasal congestion and runny nose usually alternate back and forth continually throughout the day. Third, the nose itches, and the source is deep in the nostrils. Frequently, you can only relieve it by pushing the nose upward with great force using the heel of your hand. Fourth, AR causes frequent bouts of sneezing. These sneezes are not deep, loud, and disruptive, but are more commonly quiet, shallow, and almost unheard by those around the patient. They also occur in groups of 10 to 20 sneezes in a row. Fifth, the patient also frequently has eye problems. They include a blue discoloration under the eyes, red/ itchy eyes, and tearing.

Is AR the Same as a Cold?

AR may appear at first to be a cold, but their causes are different. Viruses cause colds, while AR is caused by allergens such as pollen, mold, dust mites, pet dander, and cigarette smoke. Colds also cause cough and sore throat, but do not usually cause nasal itching, eye problems, or frequent shallow sneezes.

This makes a great difference in the treatment of both conditions. While the cold is treated with medications for cough and sore throat, these medications are not useful for AR in most cases. Decongestants may be useful in either condition. However, the standard nonprescription treatments for AR are antihistamines (e.g., Claritin, Zyrtec, Allegra, Benadryl, Chlor-Trimeton, Tavist) and intranasal cromolyn sodium (Nasalcrom). There are also many combination products available that contain both an antihistamine and a decongestant.

While antihistamines may relieve a runny nose of the common cold, Nasalcrom should not be used for a cold at all. Thus, nonprescription therapy for each condition is quite different. Consult Your Pharmacist for further information on nonprescription treatment.

Getting Professional Help If nonprescription products do not seem to help your problem, you may wish to explore other options. The most important step in dealing with AR is to get professional help. To do this, it is best to make an appointment with an allergist, a physician who is board-certified in allergy identification. You can find the allergist closest to you by consulting the Web site of the American College of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology (www.acaai.org/allergist/Pages/locate_an_allergist.aspx). You should consider visiting physician practitioners who appear on this list in preference to those who do not. Treatment may begin with allergen testing to identify what you are allergic to, followed by trials of prescription medications, such as nasal sprays and oral tablets. Follow the directions on your prescription exactly.

Remember, if you have questions, Consult your Pharmacist.

Barbara Pace of Teasdale will be 90 on November 9, 2011. She will be honored by her family at a birthday dinner on Saturday, November 5th at the Wayne County Community Center in Bicknell.

Barbara was born in Teasdale at the home of her parents, Mae Williams Coombs and George Lewis Coombs.

Her sisters, Lorea Hall and Bernice Baker as well as her brother Guy Coombs have passed away.

She has dedicated her life to serving those around her and she is appreciated by all for her kindness and concern.

Happy Birthday Grandma Pace!

NINE-DAY RIFLE HUNT IN 30 NEW UNITS

If you like to hunt deer, get ready some major changes are happening in Utah in 2012.

Approved by the Utah Wildlife Board in December 2010, the changes are the biggest deer hunting changes seen in the state in almost 20 years.

30 hunting units The biggest change is the amount of area you’ll be able to hunt during the state’s 2012 general seasons: In the past, rifle and muzzleloader hunters have hunted in five large regions. And archery hunters could hunt anywhere in Utah that was open to general deer hunting.

In 2012, all general season hunters—archery, rifle and muzzleloader—will be hunting in smaller areas called units.

Utah’s five regions have been split into 30 smaller units for the 2012 hunt.

Same season dates It might take time to get used to hunting in one of 30 smaller units. But one change should be easy to adapt to.

Instead of having different season dates in different areas, the Division of Wildlife Resources is recommending that all 30 units have the same season dates.

At a series of upcoming public meetings, DWR biologists will recommend that general deer hunting seasons run the following number of days on each of Utah’s 30 general season deer hunting units:

More buck deer Anis Aoude, big game coordinator for the DWR, says in the past, the rifle hunt has been as short as three days in various parts of the large regions. The number of days was reduced to try to reduce the number of bucks hunters took in areas that didn’t have many bucks.

“Having smaller hunting units will allow us to fine tune the number of hunting permits available for each unit,” Aoude says. “Reducing the number of hunters by reducing the number of permits is the best way to reduce the number of bucks that are taken during the hunting season.”

Limiting the number of bucks hunters take will be important in 2012—at their December 2010 meeting, members of the Wildlife Board raised the minimum number of bucks they want biologists to see after the hunting seasons are over in the fall.

In the past, the goal was a minimum of 15 bucks per 100 does after the hunting seasons were over. Starting in 2012, the goal is 18 bucks per 100 does.

The number of general buck deer hunting permits for Utah’s 2012 hunts will be determined by the Wildlife Board at a meeting in May 2012.

Elk, mountain goat and bison In addition to making season dates the same for deer, DWR biologists are also recommending some elk, mountain goat and bison hunting changes.

You can see all of the big game hunting changes the DWR is recommending for 2012 online.

Learn more, share your ideas After you’ve reviewed the ideas, you can let your Regional Advisory Council members know your thoughts by attending your upcoming RAC meeting or by sending an email to them.

RAC chairmen will share the input they receive with members of the Utah Wildlife Board. The board will meet in Salt Lake City on Dec. 1 to approve rules for Utah’s 2012 big game hunting seasons.

ESCALANTE NEWS

Marlene Haws Ph: 826-4859 marleneh@color-country.net Last weekend was a big one. It definitely was one that sifted the population around! Hunters went to the hills and visitors made up a different crowd at church meetings! I haven’t heard of any big bucks being bagged but I think families enjoyed their camping trips together.

Sacrament meeting in the second ward was a big one because it marked the return of Tim Hughes, and his brother Tyler is just getting ready to leave on his mission. It was great that it worked out so well for them, otherwise they wouldn’t have been able to see one another for four years! Tim and Tyler are the sons of Greg and Sabrina Hughes and the Hughes family presented the program for the meeting that day with talks and musical numbers. A very talented family.

Greg and Debbie Allen camped with their whole family on Monroe Mountain, with the exception of one son. I’m not sure which son. I’m told that when all of them get through their schooling the Allens may have as many as four doctors in the family. Quite a record!

Darren and Jackie Algaier were visitors in town on the weekend. They missed getting to visit with a lot of their friends, who were also elsewhere visiting friends.

Little four year old Cora, who spent so much time in the hospital when they lived here, is doing great and plays little mother to her baby brother. It was good to see them. I told Darren he needs to come back and

stay a while until he gets all our computers straightened out again! We have missed him AND his whole family.

Frank and Kathryn Coleman have been in St. George for doctor appointments.

Pat and Bobbi Coughlin have returned from a visit to California. Bobbi’s sister has been quite ill so they went to see her.

Tara Woolsey made a trip to Cedar City. She probably went to purchase her Halloween costume. Did anyone recognize her at the bank on Monday?

Don Haws and his son, Don Earl, spent most of the week here last week. They live in Killeen Texas. Don was wishing he had been able to be here this summer where we had so much rain.

Quite a contrast between here and Texas! We have missed his beautiful garden.

Both he and Ethel have had health problems this past year but seem to be doing better now.

Lynn and Judy Griffin just returned from, what sounded like, a really fun trip to Hawaii.

They were invited to join with their daughter and sonin-law Jill and Steve Pickett and their family for this great adventure. They visited Oahu, Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head, The Polynesian Center and a lot of places I can’t even spell! They ran into and visited with Mark Eubank, the news anchor, who is now serving a LDS Mission over there. They hiked to the Falls, attended church, went to the Hawaiian Temple and at one point they even mingled with a group of homeless people,

although they didn’t know it at the time! Lynn will have some stories to tell!

Lola and Jim Alvey have been in town again and this time they brought Lola’s mom, Eva Dean Liston, with them. Lola and Eva Dean tried to get around to visiting all their family and friends and it was good to get to see them again. Eva Dean looks surprisingly well in spite of all the health problems she has suffered through since her last visit here.

Ben and Renee Porter have returned to Provo for the winter. Hopefully they will be able to return and feel much better in the spring.

Ray Barney is on the mend after spending a few rough days with his new knee. He says the new knee wasn’t as bad and didn’t affect him as much as his medications.

Thelma Marsh’s daughter, Kathleen Woolsey, has had a knee replacement also. Seems like we older folk are not in style if we don’t have at least one new knee! But isn’t it great that we finally have new body parts stores now days?

Geraldine Liston, Deon Alvey and Marlene Haws went to Tropic last Saturday for the funeral services of their cousin, Della Bybee. Their fathers, Starns Mecham and John Mecham were brothers. Della’s husband, Cyde R. Bybee, is a brother of Mary Shumway.

Isn’t it too bad that we have to have a death in the family sometimes to get to have a family reunion?

If there is such a thing as a “lucky car wreck” we’ve had a few of those lately.

The Chynoweth boys, Flint and Dace were in a two car collision just West of the “Blues” this past week.

They are apparently okay but that raises heck with vehicles. However, vehicles can be replaced.

Raylene Whitefield, daughter of Arnold and Deon Alvey has been in ICU in a Nevada hospital getting blood transfusions, etc. She is doing better and, hopefully, she will be able to go home soon.

Summer is almost at an end and sometimes at night it looks like someone has rolled all the street up! Not much going on at least! So I really would appreciate some help if we are going to keep this column going.

I am not a mind reader and I would find it very hard to cover the whole town searching out news. So PLEASE call me, e-mail me, write something up for me. I would really appreciate it and I’m sure our readers would too.

2011 CHRISTMAS TREE PERMITS The holiday season is coming, and for many, cutting their own tree on the national forest is a longstanding family tradition.

Weather conditions in the mountains are unpredictable so always be prepared for winter weather. Stay on designated roads and trails.

Be prepared for slick, snow packed roads and have chains, a 4-wheel drive vehicle, or a snow machine available. Let someone know where you are planning to go and approximate time you will return.

Carry a cell phone; bring additional warm clothing, good warm gloves, boots, and a container of hot liquid, water, lunch or snack, as it may take longer than expected. Carry a flashlight, chains, shovel, first aid kit, matches, a hatchet, ax or handsaw, and rope to secure your tree.

Tree permits are for personal use only and must always be cut close to the

that are needed to develop their skills in leadership.

The main theme of the conference was “Choice: The Catalyst of Character.”

Former student body president Addyson Renyolds is a member of the CAL ( Center for the Advancement of Leadership) team who put on this conference.

Bridgett Brian: I learned that I need to set my goals

and go for them. I want to be the person who stands out in leadership.

Brittney Hagel: My experience at the UVU Leadership Conference was simply amazing. Listening to the speakers motivated my determination to be a good leader. It gave me good ideas to apply in my everyday life and better my school.
