HEALTH CAREER OPTIONS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

When should students interested in healthcare start exploring careers? At the Utah Center for Rural Health, they believe the answer is right now! With so many careers in the healthcare field, it is critical that students start early to explore and experience options. Enter the Health Career Day recently put on by the Utah Center for Rural Health at Southern Utah University. The Health Career Day was made possible through a subgrant from the Utah System of Higher Education (ImPACT Improving Preparation, Access & Communities Together). The ImPACT subgrant allowed students from Beaver, Garfield, Kane and Iron counties to attend a career day showcasing careers in health care, while also providing information to better prepare the students to attend college. Participating in the event were ten high schools and 150 high school students. Participating high schools included Beaver, Milford, Parowan, Cedar, Canyon View, Panguitch, Bryce Valley, Escalante, Valley and Kanab. The Health Career Day was a continuation of previous health career days held back in April and November of

last year. This recent career day included hands-on workshops on Physician Assistant, Public Health Emergency Services, Epidemiology, Nursing and

College Admissions. The hands-on components included hooking up an EKG and learning to read heart rhythms, pricking fingers to test blood sugar levels, and visiting the new nursing lab and working at different stations to learn various nursing skills. In a public health setting, students also worked through a scenario to determine where a food born illness originated and how it was spread. Information was also provided to encourage and prepare students for college. SUU college admis-

sions counselors talked with the students about what they need to be doing in high school to prepare for college, and provided information about college and the admissions process. Workshops were provided by the Southwest Utah Public Health Department, the Southern Utah University College of Nursing, Justin Brinkerhoff, PA and the University of Utah Physician Assistant program, and Southern Utah University’s Admission’s department. Funds from ImPACT are also being used to partner

SUU Rural Health Scholars students with each of the high schools in Iron, Beaver, Garfield and Kane counties. These students

visit the high schools on a monthly basis to do presentations and hands-on activities with students interested in health care in a mentortype capacity. These mentors will provide valuable information about college in one-on-one situations where the high school students can ask questions. The Southern Utah University Center for Rural Health conducts a variety of programs to encourage rural students to pursue health and medical careers. The Rural Health Scholars Program helps students become successful applicants to medical, dental, pharmacy and other graduate level health professions programs. Student applications are strengthened through a regimen of classes, seminars, community service, job shadowing, research and advisement. In 2010, 52 SUU students were accepted into graduate level health programs, and out of 25 students applying to medical schools, 24 were accepted.

ENTERTAINMENT & EVENTS

Pool Continued—ED NET I would like to address a few issues relating to the October School Board meeting. You can see a draft version of the October Board minutes on our District web page at the following address: http:// www.garfield.k12.ut.us On the District web page select the School Board tab then select School Board Draft Minutes. Also available on our District web page is the slide presentation on the proposed bids to replace the heating system in the gym, high school and pool. The presentation also discusses the results of the online pool survey. In the Board meeting there was a motion to accept Crofts HVAC bid for the high school and gym area only. The pool would be left out. This motion was seconded and passed 4-0, with one abstention. Also, a motion to have the District get out of the pool business by the end of

the year and to organize a committee to work with the City to transition out of the business was made. The motion was seconded with the understanding that it is a deadline to have a plan in place, but that would not stop us from working on that goal after the deadline. The motion passed 3-2. So, information stating the School Board made a motion to turn the pool back to the City is incorrect. I have addressed the recreational tax levy in the past but it continues to come up as a proposed solution to many of our financial problems. The recreation tax money is not an endless pot of money to solve the District problems, the fact is “last year the Garfield School District received approximately $118,000 from the recreational tax levy. In years past, some of this money was divided up in the three main communities to be spent on recreational

UTAH PHILANTHROPY DAY 2011 AWARDSOUTSTANDING YOUNG VOLUNTEER AWARD TEAH CAINE

Téah Caine started volunteering at Fourth Street Clinic in 2008 as a medical assistant checking-in patients, taking vitals, blood draws and triaging adults. After a year of volunteering with homeless adults, Téah moved to the fourth Street Pediatrics clinic where she spearheaded the audiology program, which is now part of each well-child exam. Téah was responsible for bringing in a $4,000 donated audiology machine, setting up initial training sessions for all providers and volunteers, writing protocols for audiology tests with well-child exams, and implementing an annual maintenance and continuing education plan, Because of her efforts, each child that comes through the pediatrics clinic now receives an audiology exam to determine hearing development. Téah just graduated pre-med in Communications Sciences and Disorders with a 3.9 GPA and completed her Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), and is actively applying for medical school. She hopes to be accepted to The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences or The University of Utah School of Medicine. Téah traveled to Puebla, Mexico in 2009 as a volunteer to teach English as part of the International Language Program. Téah has been very active in the premed American Medical Student Association (AMSA) and served as chair in 2009. The student association is very involved in the community and actively engages in projects like taking vital signs at the Junior League Care Fair. During her time as chair, she re-established an annual event called “Cure for the Cold” which raises awareness around the homeless plight and collects clothing, food and money to distribute to local homeless resource agencies (1,400 coats were collected). Téah has also been an active volunteer at the Maliheh Clinic for about four year, another clinic in Salt Lake City that serves uninsured Utahns. Last year Téah won the Maliheh Clinic’s Compassionate Service Award for her commitment to their clinic’s patients. One last volunteer area of special note is her work on diabetes education through her support of the American Diabetes Associations’ annual “Step Out Walk” board, which raised $150,000 during their last fundraiser, and starting the “One Day, One Dollar, One Cure” fundraiser for the Utah Diabetes Endocrinology Center at the University of Utah ($3,000 was raised in one day, 1 dollar at a time). Tèah Caine graduated with the Class of 2006, at Panguitch High. She is the daughter of Shawn Caine and the granddaughter of Pat and Mack Oetting.

improvements. Last year the majority of the money was spent to pay approximately $80,000 in coaching stipends in the District, so you can see this does not leave much wiggle room for recreational funding to solve the problems with financing the pool.” I would like to change topics from the pool to EDNET classes in our District. I would like to thank the Panguitch Education Foundation for paying for expenses students would acquire in the EDNET classes. They have offered to pay for Panguitch students’ class expenses and book costs for the next trimester. We are anticipating 14 students to take EDNET classes at Panguitch High School in the next trimester which will start November 21st. We currently have 13 students taking EDNET in Bryce Valley High School and 3 students at Escalante High School. If any adult in the community would like to take any college continuing education classes in Panguitch, please contact Jenni Fisher at PHS for more information.

FFA DISCUSSION MEET HELD AT PIUTE HIGH SCHOOL A GREAT SUCCESS! On October 27, 2011, 23 FFA and 4-H Students from across District 6 of the Utah Farm Bureau (Garfield, Piute, Wayne, Sevier, and Sanpete Counties) competed in an FFA Discussion Meet. The Discussion Meet contest is designed to simulate a committee meeting where discussion and active participation are expected from each participant. This competition is evaluated on an exchange of ideas and information on a pre-determined topic. The Topics for this meet were; How do we capitalize on the growing world demand for agricultural products? And What role, if any, should agriculture play in addressing

health and obesity issues? The judges are looking for the contestant that offers constructive criticism, cooperation, and communication while analyzing agricultural problems and developing solutions. After two rounds of discussion we had a three way tie and one point separating the next place contestant, so a decision was made to have a final round. The top four contestants discussed on the topic of, How can we convince the public that the animal agriculture industry balances production efficiencies with the public’s expectations of animal care? The knowledge the four youth had on produc-

tion agriculture and public perceptions made for a great round. In the end the first place contestant was Morgan Miller from North Sevier, second Noelle Perkins from Panguitch High, third Cash Allred from North Sevier, and fourth Amber Cook from Wayne High. The top two youth now have the opportunity to compete at the Utah Farm Bureau Young Farmer and Rancher State FFA Discussion Meet in January. Good Luck!

LEPC IMPORTANT MEMO:

RENEWABLE ENERGY BILL A BOOST TO SPORTSMEN AND LOCAL ECONOMIES

Sportsmen are welcoming a bill introduced Tuesday by Senators Tester, Risch, Heller, Reid and Mark Udall, which will create a framework for responsibly developing wind and solar energy on public lands. The Public Land Renewable Energy Development Act of 2011 (S. 1775) would help balance energy development and fishing and hunting opportunity by establishing a path toward a leasing program for wind and solar projects, and providing funding for conservation and recreational access. The bill is seen as a boost not only for communities affected by the development of renewable energy, but also for the sportsmen and women who are concerned about how development could impact some of their favorite places to hunt and fish. “This is a big step forward toward creating a renewable energy policy which respects both the rights of developers and those who use and value our public lands,” says Keith Curley, director of government affairs for Trout Unlimited. “Senators Heller, Reid, Risch, Tester and Udall recognize the importance of healthy habitat to sustaining fish and wildlife, and by introducing this bill, they are giving a nod to the many sportsmen and women who value the qual-

ity of those lands. We thank them for charting a course toward a more balanced approach to managing energy development on public lands.” Sustaining the natural values of those lands is important on levels that go far beyond habitat and wildlife, says Brad Powell, western energy director for Trout Unlimited. “Sportsmen play a vital part in rural economies - hunters and anglers generate more than 76 billion dollars in economic activity per year,” Powell says. “Keeping healthy populations of big game and quality fisheries is important not only to sportsmen, but also the businesses and communities which support them.” The bill would move toward a leasing program for wind and solar energy on public lands, and set up a royalty which will be used to provide funding to state and county government, conservation, and the processing of wind and solar permits. Currently, wind and solar projects on public lands are managed using rights-of-way and special use permits, and there is no dedicated funding source set up to offset impacts to fish and game habitats and access that result from renewable energy projects. Revenues will be distributed as follows:

- 25% to the county or counties in which a project is located; - 25% to the State in which a project is located; - 15% for a renewable energy permit processing fund for Interior (after 15 years, this revenue stream will be deposited into the conservation fund); and - 35% to a fund for wildlife and land conservation and protection. The Renewable Energy Resource Conservation Fund set up through this bill will be available to assist in protecting and restoring fish and game habitat and securing recreational access—essential components to creating a more comprehensive approach to balancing the uses of our public lands. After experiencing the problems associated with traditional energy development firsthand, hunters and anglers are wary of the possible impacts these large-scale developments can have on a landscape. “We’ve seen what happens when there’s a rush to develop. We’ve seen our hunting and fishing opportunities decline,” Powell says. “This bill will help bring the balance that enables us to develop energy resources while sustaining our fishing and hunting heritage.”

Testing of the National Emergency Alert System Held on November 9, 2011 The readiness and effectiveness of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) is paramount for ensuring the Regional, State, local, territorial, and tribal communities we serve receive timely alerts and warnings before, during, and after an emergency. Recently you may have heard FEMA Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS), in close coordination with Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), conducted the first-ever nationwide Test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) on Wednesday, November 9, 2011 at 2:00 PM (Eastern). The National-level EAS is a public alert and warning system that enables the President of the United States to address the American public during extreme emergencies. Similar to local EAS tests that are conducted frequently, the Nationwide EAS Test involved broadcast radio and television stations, cable television, satellite radio and television services and wire line providers across all states and territories. This event also serves as a reminder that everyone should establish an emergency preparedness kit and emergency plan for themselves, their families, communities, and businesses. More information can be found on the FEMA IPAWS website (http://www.fema. gov/emergency/ipaws/eas_ info.shtm).

Every1Counts

By Cynthia Kimball Kimberly McDonald (pseudonym), a seasoned senior Workplace Learning and Performance (WLP) trainer, was presenting to her own work team of roughly ten employees. Inadvertently, Kimberly said something that her “team” members (bullies actually) thought was out of line and did not agree with. The team leader, a bully himself and actual leader of the pack, was fuming. Thus, he proceeded to interrogate and humiliate Kimberly in front of her unsupportive team members (NOTE: two other team members, and Kimberly’s allies, were not present at this particular meeting). During the interrogation, Kimberly felt as though she were having an out-of-body experience. She actually froze as to how to respond, so she did and said nothing. Any information that she knew that could have helped her respond seemed to be nonexistent. It was truly as if this leader’s fear-based coaching had immobilized her. Kimberly wondered, “How could this be happening?” and “How hypocritical” especially since their department, a business and management training center, was known throughout the state for being one of the forefronts in WLP training on topics such as “Bullying in the Workplace,” “Dealing with Difficult People,” and “Harassment Prevention,” among a plethora of other training topics. “If our customers only knew this discrepancy,” Kimberly thought. Then she noticed the body language of everyone in the room; the sighs, the rolling of the eyes, lack of eye contact to her, passing notes backand-forth and then laughing, kicking each other under the table, to name a few disengaging and bullying behaviors. It would not take a rocket scientist to figure out that not only was Kimberly out-numbered, but not liked. And even though this leader’s fear-based coaching had immobilized Kimberly, her so called teammates seemed to flourish with it. Kimberly did not do anything out-of-line other than she refused to join the bully pack on several occasions prior to this meeting. However, after the meeting, Kimberly was found in one of the training rooms crying profusely, hyperventilating in fact, and being consoled by the two fellow team members who had missed the meeting. “You are better than that, and above that, Kimberly,” one of them told her. “I wouldn’t think anymore of what they did other than let this fuel you to continue to do great things.” The other team member responded in a similar fashion, “Someone once said, Kimberly, that the greatest revenge is success.” The fear-based coaching Kimberly had received had not only disengaged her, but left her

Hope-Based Style Coaching Versus Fear-Based: Two Vignettes Tell the Story

feeling uncreative not to mention the negative impact on her self-efficacy. In effect, she felt like a complete failure. Compare the above vignette to Sarah Fitzgerald (pseudonym), who, like Kimberly, was also a seasoned WLP trainer, and who presented to a team of around ten colleagues. During Sarah’s presentation, although off on a few points, she was coached with comments such as, “That’s right, I can see where you might come up with that… keep going…okay, help me understand how you got to that point. Okay, right on, now I get it…oh my, I never thought of that…” and so on and so forth. The more Sarah was coached, “hopebased style,” the more engaged she became, her creativity flourished, as did her self-efficacy. It was truly as if the hope-based coaching had turned on a light inside her; she therefore “rocked” her presentation. Not only that, Sarah’s team members also became engaged and even approached her afterward for more information. It was as though the coach, through her hope-based coaching, not only impacted Sarah in a positive manner, but the rest of the team as well. The impacts of this hope-based coaching, like the fear-based coaching in the above vignette, were

also contagious to everyone present, but in a good way. Not surprisingly, Sarah felt like she could take on the world and it showed during her presentation. The difference in coaching styles among the two vignettes? Straightforwardly, hope-based versus fear-based. According to Rothwell (2010): How managers act…can and does affect the talent of the organization. Talented people will not flourish in an environment that does not encourage them, and they will not grow when their managers take them for granted, don’t challenge them, or have a low regard for them. pp. 11-12 Therefore, when you coach, work to do so “hopebased style” versus “fearbased” so that you, too, can impact people for the better. Doing so, you will notice a change in creativity, engagement and even in self-efficacy, just like Sarah Fitzgerald.

tHe lAuGhiNg pOiNt!! Big City Worry

A friend and I stayed at a Chicago hotel while attending a convention. Since we weren’t used to the big city, we were overly concerned about security. The first night we placed a chair against the door and stacked our luggage on it. To complete the barricade, we put the trash can on top. If an intruder tried to break in, we’d be sure to hear him. Around 1 a.m. there was a knock on the door. “Who is it?” my friend asked nervously. “Honey,” a woman on the other side yelled, “you left your key in the door.”

Broken Scale

There was a nice bathroom scale in our ship’s cabin on our recent cruise. Since the sign in front of the fitness center claimed that the average cruise passenger gained 7 to 10 pounds during a cruise, I figured the scale was a way to help the cruiser avoid the weight gain. I stepped on the scale. It was 10 pounds too low. I asked my wife to try it. She said that it was registering about 10 pounds too low. The thing was broken. The ship had excellent service and I was super impressed with the cabin steward. I didn’t mention it to him, but he must have known that our scale was out of whack and not measuring correctly. When I stepped on the scale on the last day of the cruise my weight was reading perfectly. Excellent cruise service!

Street Name?

“I’d like the number for Jennifer Smith in Richmond, Virginia,” the young man said to the 411 operator. “There are multiple listings for Jennifer Smith in Richmond, Virginia,” the operator said. “Do you have a street name?” The young man hesitated a moment, “Well, uh, some people call me Bubba.”

New Greeting

I hadn’t recorded a greeting yet on my new answering machine, so when my mother came to visit, I asked her to record one for me. “This is Marcia’s mother,” my machine announces. “Marcia is an only child; she never writes, she never calls. So why not give me a buzz? I’d be happy to talk to you. My number is...” Everyone started calling my mother. She loved the attention.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR LETTER TO THE EDITOR

By Dick Davis County Commissioners, it is also “our hope we can now move on.” The only difference is concealment or accountability. Your article doesn’t give the whole story. Use of words like “excerpts,” “investigate,” “significant” leave a lot to the imagination. The audit and investigation continues, not by the tax division and the Commissioners, but by our Sheriff’s department. Commissioners, learn your job and represent us according to the laws of the State of Utah. You will be held accountable for your actions. You sit as a Board of Equalization for Wayne County, but you have never seen the manual I presented to each of you on Policies and Procedures, nor attended any training given by the State on taxes. Also read “The Open Book”, a handbook, quick reference guide, on open meetings and open records in Utah by Mark Shurtleff, Utah Attorney General. You are in violation of some of these laws. If you’re going to be an elected official of our county, learn what is required and expected of you under the law. Small counties, family relationships, nepotism, make for poor government. One needs to be able to use good judgement for good government.

FYI PANGUITCH By: Mack Oetting ~ E-mail: mackoetting @gmail.com Last week I used my lawnmower to pick up our leaves and got twelve 50 gallon bags of leaves. I was going to redo the process again next week to get the last of the leaves, however that 50 mile an hour wind took care of them. A strange thing happened though, the wind was out of the south and whipped around on both sides of our garage and piled all the leave in a very neat pile in front of the north side of the garage, and it only took about 10 minutes to pick them up. I received this E mail that was addressed to Marlene, who writes the column in Escalante and myself. “ I sure am enjoying reading the articles you both write in the Insider newspaper. I told Ryan that combining Garfield and Wayne news has been a good for both Counties and community events, it provides us all with a better understanding of our friends, north and south”. This letter came from Adus Dorsey and I total agree with him, the Insider is a very important paper that gives both of our counties badly needed information. The only paper we get in Panguitch is the Cedar City paper and if you are not interested in Prairie Dogs, there is not much in it and absolutely nothing that goes on in our counties. It was kind of fun to hear about Torrey. after becoming a Tree Community, got taken over by beavers that were taking down some of their trees. Correction: Coach Heidi Woolsey won our first Girls State Basketball Championship for Panguitch, in 1988, not 1992. Adus Dorsey also stated that said “Coach Heidi was the best thing that ever happened in Wayne County”. Nice complement for Coach Woolsey. Last week Panguitch High, presented the Musical, The Bard is Back. It was a fun musical about Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. 34 students were involved; boy does Panguitch have a lot of talent! Drama really brings fun into performing before an audience. The play was directed by: Elaine Baldwin and Cheryl Church, and every year these two wonderful ladies manage to entertain the people of Panguitch. Friday night there was the 14th annual Panguitch Lions 1-A 2-A Volleyball All Star game. So many things are going on this next couple of weeks that the game had to be put on with very little notice. Never the less there was a good crowd and they were entertained by some fun volleyball games. These are the best senior players in Southern Utah and they showed why. Monticello, this years State Champs brought 3 players along with their Coach and the way these girls spiked the ball, it was easy to see why they were the Champs. This is last high school volleyball game these girls get to play and it is really fun for them. One of the players from Bryce told me that this was the most fun game that she had ever played in, and she hadn’t even gotten into the game yet. Panguitch’s senior players Natasha Barney and Carly Holman were outstanding, as the 1-A team again pre-

vailed. Kalani Norris, the Norris’s daughter is now starting for UVU volleyball team and the team is doing really well, with a 22 and 8 record leads their league. On Wednesday, Pat and I and our daughter Shawn Caine, were honored to have attended a luncheon at Little America for Utah Philanthropy Day. They were Celebrating Utah’ Philanthropists and honoring 6 Utah’s service oriented and compassionate philanthropists and volunteers. There was a crowd of over 800 at this luncheon in attendance. Our Granddaughter Teah Caine was selected to receive the Outstanding Young Volunteer Award. Most of these awards go to Companies that raise large sums for charity or people like the Huntsmans who contribute millions to the Cancer Hospital. It was a grand day and if you see her Grandfather with the buttons popped off his shirt you will know why. One organization when they found out that Teah had won this award gave the 4th Street Clinic a check for $15,000. The 4th street clinic is one of two clinics that Teah has volunteered at for 4-5 years. This Friday is Veterans Day, 11-11-11 In the morning there will be two programs one at the high school at 9:00 am and the other at the Elementary School and it will be at 11:00am and all Veterans are invited and encouraged to attend. This is a very good program and it teaches the youth where

their freedom comes from and at what cost. That evening there will be an American Legion dinner for all Veterans and their Wives and all Veterans Widows. Ladies of the American Legion Auxiliary members are also encouraged to attend. The dinner will be at the Senior Citizens and is FREE and will be at 6:30. There will be a program that will feature music and a tribute to Veterans. Michelle Crofts will be in Phoenix, receiving her Batchelor’s Degree from the University of Phoenix, in Business Management. Way to go girl, congratulation! Saturday on the 12th there will the Annual Craft Fair, it will be held this year at the Social Hall. It will start at 10:00am and run to 6:00 pm. Come early for the best deals, this fair is always well attended; usually around 1,000 will be there. Again there will be the best candy that can be made, for the Sub for Santa fund raiser. Pat would like to thank all of great candy makers for their generousesity and time consuming efforts. Next week Wednesday the 16th will be the blood drive that will be held at the Stake Center and will run from 2:00 to 7:00. Janis and V. Henrie will be heading this up and you can call them at (676-8012) for reservation, however walk ins are very welcome so come on down. Oh where did the year go? Mack O.

TORREY NEWS Adus Dorsey

With the spoils of Halloween making us all sick at the sight of candy and the calendar, and time change messing with our circadian rhythms, this first week of November has been mentally confusing. Over night the once free flowing water in the Torrey canal has been reduced to a few frozen puddles; the big Cottonwood trees on MainStreet are now standing naked and shivering, and the propane delivery driver finally has something to smile about. The flurry of fall activity seems to have come to a slow crawl; and life in Torrey Town has taken on the movement of chilled molasses. The saddest sight in Torrey Town is seeing Ramola Woolsey’s garden, on the corner of River-Road and MainStreet, bare and void of her spring and summer labor of love. Just the thought of knowing there will not be anything green growing over there for another six months is enough to drive a person to drinking Postum. Jim and Aileen Haws garden is in a similar sad dormant state, as well as Tim Thomas’s and all the other summer gardens in and around town. Something else that will be sorely missing on the streets of Torrey Town, now that temperature has dropped, is not having Elaine Chesnut sitting out on her front porch to wave at. But it will provide a nice opportunity to stop and go inside for a warm visit. The Torrey Pavilion has been undergoing a minor upgrade and is sporting new kitchen and storage cabinets, the new cabinets are a welcome improvement. The date for the Torrey Hoe-Down has been set for December 1st at the DUP on Main-Street; check the Torrey web-site torreyutah.gov and your water bill for more information. Torrey’s new snowplow was seen cruising the streets of Torrey during Monday morning’s surprise snow appearance. Scruff was riding shotgun to make sure trash cans and other roadside obstacles were carefully avoided. **** On Thursday night at Six O’clock, the 10th of November, a Public Hearing is scheduled at the DUP Building on Main-Street in Torrey. The topic of discussion is the proposed application to the Community Impact Board (CIB) in regards to funding upgrades and improvements on the Torrey water system. Over the past year and a half a system wide mapping, inventory and identification program has been in progress to identify water system areas of concern. Due to the abundance of moisture last season many areas of Torrey’s water system were exposed and severely overburdened, as well as compromised, these water system issues and more will be discussed at the Thursday night public hearing. Please plan to attend this informative community event to learn more about what the Torrey Town Water Department does for you in providing a safe and dependable water supply. The Torrey Water Department is also requesting that any water users that may have inadvertently accessed their water meters and disrupted the insulating pillows in their water meter barrel to please contact Torrey Town @ 425 3600 or torreyutah.gov to immediately correct this situation. Failure to do so could result in water service interruption and possible user repair fees.

BRYCE CANYON NATIONAL PARK TO INITIATE THE PUBLIC SCOPING PROCESS FOR A MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN The National Park Service (NPS) is conducting a transportation planning study to evaluate the transportation needs and infrastructure requirements to serve visitors to Bryce Canyon National Park. The public is invited to attend an Open House to identify issues and provide information to the NPS that should be considered in development of the Plan. The Open House will be held on Tuesday, November 15, 2011 from 4:00 – 7:00 pm at the Ruby’s Inn Conference Room (26 South Main Street, Bryce Canyon City, UT) located just north of the park. Project representatives will provide a brief presentation at 5:30 pm to explain the need for the plan and its objectives. Through the course of the planning process, the project team will identify transportation-related issues, gather input from park

users and the surrounding community, and recommend solutions to transportation management within the park. The first step in developing the Plan is to gain a clear understanding of existing concerns and issues that should be considered in developing appropriate solutions, the second step. From a set of alternative solutions, park staff can determine where and how to make strategic transportation investments. “We wish to find out what issues are important to local communities and visitors to ensure that they are included in the environmental analysis process,” said Superintendent Jeff Bradybaugh. An open comment period will begin on November 15, 2011. Those wishing to provide comments should submit them in writing as soon as possible, but no later December 15, 2011 to: http://

parkplanning.nps.gov/brca, to brca_informantion@ nps.gov, or to Bryce Canyon National Park, P.O. Box 640201, Bryce, Utah 84764. Respondents should include their name, address and email to be added to the mailing list for more information about this project. Remember that unless requested otherwise, a list of all those that comment during public review periods, including their addresses, is available upon request. A second opportu-

nity for public comments will be available after preliminary alternatives have been developed, and a final public comment period will be available when the Multimodal Transportation Plan is released. The Environmental Assessment will analyze multimodal transportation improvement alternatives derived from technical information gathered, engineering, resource management and design considerations, and comments provided by the public.

MILLER RECEIVES UTAH JUDICIAL COUNCIL’S 2011 MERITORIOUS SERVICE AWARD

Hunter Education Class

Jennifer Miller, clerk of the Sixth District Court in Garfield County, was recently awarded the Utah Judicial Council’s 2011 Meritorious Service Award for the Utah State Courts. The award was presented by Chief Justice Christine M. Durham, of the Utah Supreme Court, during the Annual Judicial Conference held at the Homestead in September. The Meritorious Service Award is a very prestigious award annually presented to outstanding court clerks from throughout Utah for exemplary performance on the job and significant contribution to the overall effective operation of the courts of Utah. Among Miller’s many accomplishments, working in cooperation with the information technology division of the Administrative Office of the Courts, she pioneered an electronic court file system in Garfield County, and has worked tirelessly to ensure a smooth and efficient transition from the historic courthouse in Panguitch to a temporary court facility during construction of the new courthouse in Garfield County. Jennifer is the wife of Jason Miller, and resides in Panguitch.

PATIENT INFORMATION Cooler Corn? Who’d Thunk!!

Known as behind-the-counter or BTC medications. BTC drugs do not require a prescription, but they are not available in just any location either. Instead, you can only buy them in locations where a pharmacist is present. The pharmacist is a highly educated professional whose college years were spent learning about the body’s functions, how to recognize minor medical conditions, when to refer you to a physician, and the uses of medications. Why Do These Medications Require a Pharmacist? The reason you must visit a pharmacist before purchasing these BTC products varies with the specific item. For example, insulin is too dangerous to allow its sale by those without a pharmacy degree, as even a small overdose can lead to deadly insulin shock. In some states, codeine-containing cough syrups are available in the BTC category. Pseudoephedrine You may be aware that certain cold products are not available except from a pharmacy. These BTC products all contain pseu-

do-ephedrine (PSE), a safe and effective nasal decongestant found in such products as Sudafed and in combinations like Allegra-D and Claritin-D. However, illegal drug lab operators found that PSE could be used as a starting element to make methamphetamine (meth). They began to buy PSE in large quantities, many times from nonpharmacy outlets such as convenience stores. To help control the growing problem of meth, state and federal authorities decided to pass laws that would restrict sales to pharmacies. Purchasers must show photo identification, have their transaction logged, and are subject to daily and monthly limits. Pharmacists were chosen as the critical gatekeepers for PSE sales because they have the knowledge to determine whether sales are legitimate. They may ask you about such issues as other symptoms of a common cold to ensure that you have a medical need for a proposed purchase of PSE. If the pharmacist is not convinced that you have a legitimate

need for PSE, he or she may ask you to visit a physician to determine whether a prescription product is more appropriate. Emergency Contraceptives You may also have heard about Plan B One-Step, a “morning after” hormone tablet that can be taken after unprotected sex to help prevent an unwanted pregnancy. It is available on a BTC basis for those aged 17 years and above. For younger patients, a prescription is required. In this case, pharmacists were again chosen to be the point of control to make sure that those too young to obtain an emergency contraceptive would see a physician instead of using it on their own. Pharmacy Request Cards If you have any questions regarding nonprescription drugs or products that are only available BTC, your pharmacist will be there to address any concerns. Some pharmacies even provide pharmacy request cards in the aisle that you can bring up to the counter to help facilitate the sale.

Remember, if you have questions, Consult your Pharmacist.

Am I the only person who hasn’t heard of “cooler corn”? As an obsessive food nerd, you’d expect that I would have at least heard of it, but over the weekend I was blind-sided by the simple genius of this method for cooking loads of corn on the cob perfectly I was hepped to it via an e-Mail from a friend in CA... Short story: You like corn on the cob, right? Let’s say you have eight adults at the table, that means a couple of dozen ears. You would need a couple of very big pots to cook them all, but the the stove is already full of pots and pans cooking other stuff.

No Problem! Just grab that medium size cooler from the garage and announce, “let’s do cooler corn!” Before you ask “what the hell is cooler corn?” Just wipe the cooler clean, then fill it with the shucked ears. Next, two kettles-full of boiling water are poured over the corn and the top closed. Then nothing. When you sit down to dinner 30 minutes later and open it, the corn will be perfectly cooked! My mind was blown. And I’m told that the corn will remain at the perfect level of doneness for a couple of hours. Turns out, Cooler Corn is pretty well known among the outdoorsy set but for those who avoid tents as much as possible, it’s perfect for large barbecues and way less of mess than grilling. In fact, I may even buy another cooler just so I’m ready for next summer... Now that I’m in the know.

ESCALANTE NEWS

Marlene Haws Ph: 826-4859 marleneh@color-country.net I spent part of the week in Salina with my daughter and family and thought, for sure, when I got back my email would be full of news from all you folks! But no such luck! I heard from more Escalante and former Escalante people in Wal Mart in Richfield! Talked to Jill Phillips. She said she and Todd were in Richfield to have an MRI done on Todd’s back. The wreck he was in, down on the desert, apparently twisted him up pretty good. Hope they were able to help him. I visited with Jaleen Shurtz Neilsen, daughter of Hal and Geneal Shurtz. She hasn’t changed much. Still a cute gal. And I also visited with Janet Gleave. She and Randy lived here when Randy worked for Don Kelley. Randy has been having some heart problems but she says he is actually doing better right now. On my way home I saw a lot of cattle being driven along the highway just North of Panguitch. All the cattlemen here are moving their cattle to the winter range now too. Marilyn Jackson thinks it’s silly to call it a cattle drive now, since most times they actually load them into a truck and “drive” them to their winter range! But like the saying goes, “Times change and we with time.” And nothing stays the same! Winnie Washburn, mother of Harriet Priska, will be celebrating her 94th birthday on 11/11/11. Congratulations to her! Winnie, Harriet and Harriet’s two brothers, John and George will all get together in Fresno, California for a family reunion and birthday party for her. Winnie lived in Escalante not too long ago, before moving to Cedar City. She helped form the Escalante Native Plant Society while she was here. Her son John and his wife Margie were here last month for the Art Festival. Boyd and LaNell Cottam just returned from a trip back East. Lanell said they traveled by car, airplane, helicopter and boat! They went to Denver, Chicago, New York, etc. They visited Niagra Falls, saw whales in the ocean in Maine, also some Seals, and visited many sites that people of the different ar-

eas told them they should visit. It sounds like they had a great trip for being their own tour guides. They were gone almost a month! It is rumored that Glenna Cottam shot her own deer during the hunt and on the first day? Vern, Kathy and Jeremy McInelly were here and hunted on the Boulder. Tom and Clint Jackson hunted too. They said they saw 20 deer in one herd and only one buck in the lot, so Tom didn’t have the heart to shoot the only one in the herd! The Fred Spencer house is beginning to take shape. They say when you start you are half through. The last I knew he had the basement poured so it won’t be long now! Our sincere condolences go out to the Vidrine family. Clorene Vidrine passed away on October 28, 2011, just thirteen days after her 82nd birthday. Clorene worked at the Escalante Forest office when only she and Starns Mecham and the Ranger, Reed Thompson, were there. She must have worked there for thirty years or more. A few years ago she moved away from Escalante to be near her children and grandchildren and has lived in Ogden (Washington Terrace) for the past six years. She was a good friend and will be remembered by the senior citizen group here as being the life of the party, not only at the senior citizen center but on all their bus trips! She will be missed. Florence Alvey has the cast on her wrist for another two weeks. Her children have been good to come to see her and give a helping hand. Her daughter, Helen Pruitt, Richfield has been a couple of times. Her grandson Derrick and Emily Duncan and their little son, Oscar, came from Cedar City and her son Wayne and his wife came from Alaska for a few days. They still have their two youngest children at home and are in the process of adopting two children from Alaska. They have had them here a couple of times to get acquainted with their new grandmother. Wayne’s wife (sorry I can’t remember her name. Dang these senior moments!) works in a hospital up there and Wayne works at the airport. Sounds like

EHS UPDATE Departmental Academic Achievers for September 30 are Kolt Smith in accounting and Toree Talbot in keyboarding, for October 14 are Caleb Christensen and Tayler Duthie in drama, for October 21 are Kyler Nelson and KrysTelle Noyes in shop, and Rayjay Knight and Makayla Churilla in science. Red Ribbon Week, a national program, is the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the country. It encourages students to avoid drugs and raises awareness of drug dangers. It has been held at EHS for 17 years under the direction of secretary Derlynne Brooks. The Upward Bound students decorate the school and plan activities throughout the week. Upward Bound is a program to encourage and prepare students for posthigh school training and education. Enrolled students this year are Savan-

nah Steed, Shelby Steed, Bowdie Stowe, McKinzi Stowe, Bret Brooks, Marina LeFevre, Jaycee Nez, and Rachel Ketchum. These students and their advisor put in a lot of time and planning to make it both educational and fun. Ninth through twelfth graders spend a day at a ropes course in Provo. The activities are designed to learn leadership, communication skills, cooperation, and trust through experience. You can see short video clips of some of the things the students did on the website, clasropes.com. Upward Bound students and health occupations class students also went on a field trip, Health Occupations and Career Fair, held at SUU. With the worldwide economy our students will be competing in, they need a variety of experiences to be prepared and educated.

they are doing great. Family members here have received word of the death of David Ray Shurtz’s daughter-in-law, Sarah Hays Shurtz, who was only 30 years old and had battled cancer for sixteen months. She is the wife of Daniel Ray Shurtz. Our sincere condolences to them. Lane Liston was taken by ambulance to St. George on Friday. There was the possibility that he may have to have a pace maker. Deon and Arnold Alvey are back in Las Vegas again with their daughter, Raylene. Raylene is home again after a hospital stay. She probably has mostly new blood now but is home and doing better.

PATIENCE

2004 (c) The National Healthy Marriage Institute LLC

This week’s tip is patience. The law of reciprocity states that if you input positive behavior into a relationship, then your spouse will reciprocate the positive behavior. It also states that if you input negative behavior into a relationship than your spouse will reciprocate negative behavior. However, each spouse will start reciprocating at different times. Some will reciprocate positive or negative behavior immediately; others will take a few weeks. Researchers have found that on average it takes 3 weeks of inputing posi-

tive behavior before your spouse will reciprocate it. On the other hand, people tend to reciprocate negative behavior immediately. The same researchers also found that most people give up on making positive changes after two weeks of seeing no results. If people would only stick with it one more week, then on average they would see the positive changes they were hoping for. Hence the tip of the week is patience. We must learn to be patient as we nurture the seeds of change in our relationships. Sometimes you will see the changes you

hoped for in days, sometimes weeks or months and in some extreme cases years. The key is to not give up and to be patient. So how do you develop patience? The answer is the same as any other skill in life. You have to practice using it over and over again. Make a plan today to do things that you know your spouse will appreciate and resolve to be patient and stick with it even if it takes your spouse a while to begin reciprocating the positive changes in your relationship.

November 10, 2011 BETTER ESTATE PLANNING

An effective estate plan has many benefits. In the broadest sense, estate planning includes the process of accumulating, managing, and distributing property over the course of a lifetime. Satisfaction comes from knowing your objectives, taking practical approaches to achieve them, and avoiding hazards in the process. An effective estate plan involves recognizing and coping with four financial challenges: 1. Dying Too Soon. For those with a sense of responsibility to loved ones, one of the greatest concerns is providing for them. Savings plans, retirement accounts, life insurance, and estate plans are just a few of the ways to assure financial security for loved ones. 2. Outliving One’s Resources. As time passes, the possibility of outliving one’s financial resources can be a concern. Many people will reduce what they spend today to ensure that they have ample funds for the later years. It can be a challenge to balance present and future needs. 3. Emergencies. Estate planning may ease the hazards of illness, accidents,

and other unforeseen economic hardships. We can accumulate savings in order to be prepared, but insurance assumes greater importance as costs increase. Medical, automobile, homeowners, and other insurance policies can help lessen the possibility that an emergency will unnecessarily deplete economic resources. 4. Mental and Physical Disability. It is vitally important to plan for adequate income and management of assets, in the event that a mental or physical disability impairs a person’s ability to manage his or her property. A number of financial arrangements, including various types of trusts and powers of attorney, can be created to help deal with the need for assistance in asset management. These trusts can also be set up for disabled family members. Addressing each of the above concerns is the essence of an effective estate plan. Many people view estate planning, and particularly addressing the above concerns, as an overwhelming task. A good estate planning attorney can help

bring order to what may otherwise seem to be too difficult to accomplish on your own. Your estate planning attorney will take an organized approach to decide what is needed. Your attorney will help you focus on the “essential elements” of estate planning – the people in your life, the property you own, your plans for the future, and the persons who will assist you in achieving your goals. Like a building project, with the help of your attorney, you will start with your “blueprint” for setting out a plan. You will determine the essential elements. In a few short days or weeks, your plan can become a reality. Jeffery J. McKenna is a local attorney licensed in three states and serving clients in Utah, Nevada, and Arizona.

CHRISTMAS 2011 BIRTH OF A NEW TRADITION As the holidays approach, the giant Asian factories are kicking into high gear to provide Americans with monstrous piles of cheaply produced goods -merchandise that has been produced at the expense of American labor. This year will be different. This year Americans will give the gift of genuine concern for other Americans. There is no longer an excuse that, at gift giving time, nothing can be found that is produced by American hands. Yes, there is! It’s time to think outside the box, people. Who says a gift needs to fit in a shirt box, wrapped in Chinese produced wrapping paper? Everyone -- yes EVERYONE gets their hair cut. How about gift certificates from your local American hair salon or barber? Gym membership? It’s appropriate for all ages who are thinking about some health improvement. Who wouldn’t appreciate getting their car detailed? Small, American owned detail shops and car washes would love to sell you a gift certificate or a book of gift certificates. Are you one of those extravagant givers who think nothing of plonking down the Benjamines on a Chinese made flat-screen? Perhaps that grateful gift receiver would like his driveway sealed, or lawn mowed for the summer, or driveway plowed all winter,

or games at the local golf course. There are a Brazilian owner-run restaurants -- all offering gift certificates. And, if your intended isn’t the fancy eatery sort, what about a half dozen breakfasts at the local breakfast joint. Remember, folks this isn’t about big National chains -- this is about supporting your home town Americans with their financial lives on the line to keep their doors open. How many people couldn’t use an oil change for their car, truck or motorcycle, done at a shop run by the American working guy? Thinking about a heartfelt gift for mom? Mom would LOVE the services of a local cleaning lady for a day. My computer could use a tune-up, and I KNOW I can find some young guy who is struggling to get his repair business up and running. OK, you were looking for something more personal. Local crafts people spin their own wool and knit them into scarves. They make jewelry, and pottery and beautiful wooden boxes.

Plan your holiday outings at local, owner operated restaurants and leave your server a nice tip. And, how about going out to see a play or ballet at your hometown theatre. Musicians need love too, so find a venue showcasing local bands. Honestly, people, do you REALLY need to buy another ten thousand Chinese lights for the house? When you buy a five dollar string of light, about fifty cents stays in the community. If you have those kinds of bucks to burn, leave the mailman, trash guy or babysitter a nice BIG tip. You see, Christmas is no longer about draining American pockets so that China can build another glittering city. Christmas is now about caring about US, encouraging American small businesses to keep plugging away to follow their dreams. And, when we care about other Americans, we care about our communities, and the benefits come back to us in ways we couldn’t imagine. THIS is the new American Christmas tradition.
