Torgerson Chosen Auditor of the Year WAYNE CO. - Wayne County Clerk/Auditor Ryan Torgerson was chosen among his peers to be recognized as the 2012 County Auditor of the Year recently. He was first elected to office in 2003.

Torgerson will join eight others being considered for the Overall Outstanding County Official recognition which will be decided by a UAC selection committee that meets at the organization’s Annual Convention, November 1416 in St. George. Each year, nine elected county officials are selected from each of the elected offices held in county

governments across the state, including assessors, auditors, attorneys, clerks, recorders, treasurers, sheriffs and surveyors.

Wayne County Clerk/Auditor Sandra Rees was Chosen Clerk of the Year in 2002.

Selections are made based on work officials do on behalf of their county and UAC, as well as a vote among peers. The Overall Outstanding County Official of the Year for 2012 will be announced on November 16 at the closing Banquet of the Annual Convention.

Torgerson said it was “Pretty much a surprise” for him to receive this recognition from his peers. But he also said that one of his favorite things about his job is working with the association, working on legislative issues, and getting to know everyone around the state.

Providers who have committed to transforming patient care believe that improved patient health outcomes and efficiencies in the delivery of care can result in cost savings for the entire health care system.

“Taking a group of employees already very vested in our patients and realigning our systems to the values of the Primary Care Medical Home improves the care and

Guys inspired the Park to ask how more visual and performing arts could be brought to the park in an effort to provide different ways for people to connect to their park and draw inspiration from its beauty. Gayle Pollock, Executive Director of the Bryce Canyon Natural History Association and Kathleen Gonder, Acting Chief of Interpretation met with SUU Music Department Chair Dr. Keith Bradshaw, Peter Sham, Director of Theater and Jayde Udall, senior music education major for a tour of the park to plan an collaborate on future events. To say that they were “inspired” is an understatement.

The concert on the 16th will be the first of many over the next few years and we look forward to hosting a variety of performances for our Southern Utah neighbors and park visitors.

The philosophy behind the Primary Care Medical Home model is that the delivery of health care should be patient-centered and focused on coordination of care across the health care system. Patient culture, values, and needs are met through partnerships with patients and their families, supporting patient self-management and recognizing the patient as a core member of the care team.

“Interest in the Primary Care Medical Home model is growing, but true transformation of the delivery of care is challenging and takes time,” says Alan Pruhs, executive di-

follow-up care we are able to provide to our patients,” says Sheree Rechtseiner, an APRN at Wayne Community Health Center.

Wayne Community Health Center is joined by all of Utah’s community health centers to achieve Primary Care Medical Home certification within the next two years—a trend that other safety net providers across the nation are following. Utah’s community health centers recognize that Primary Care Medical Home certification is just the first stop along the road to improving the quality and cost of patient care and remain committed to pioneering the Patient Center Medical Home model in Utah.

Former Silverado Boys Ranch Coach Sentenced to Two Life Terms PANGUITCH - Twentynine year old Eric Glosson pled guilty on November 8 to two state charges of first degree forcible sodomy for his abuse of teenage boys at the Silverado Boys Ranch just outside of Panguitch, Utah.

He will serve two life sentences in the Utah State Prison on the sodomy convictions, after he serves his 15 year sentence in federal prison on charges of production of child pornography. Glosson’s guilty plea occurred in Garfield County’s 6th District Court.

Garfield County Attorney Barry Huntington says he wanted to make certain that Glosson spent the rest of his life behind bars: “There were those that said I should have just gone with the federal

Glosson worked as a coach at the Silverado Academy, a 200-acre Panguitch ranch that advertised itself as a clinical boarding school for

teens. Glosson videotaped his abuse, which lead to the federal charges of child pornography production. He is currently in the Garfield County Jail awaiting transport to federal prison.

“Really what it comes down to is: 15 years isn’t enough time when you molest children like this,” said Huntington. “This guy needed to serve the 15 years for making the video, and he also needed to serve time for the actual act he was doing. So I felt like these life sentences were appropriate, he can start his state time after he serves his federal time, and the Board of Pardons will determine if he ever gets out.”

Experimental Release from Glen Canyon Dam to Benefit Grand Canyon PAGE, Ariz. – The U.S. Department of the Interior will trigger the first “high-flow experimental release” at Glen Canyon Dam since 2008 on Monday, November 19. The release is part of a new long-term protocol announced in May by Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar to meet water and power needs, as well as to allow better conservation of sediment downstream, more targeted efforts to control non-native fish predation, and continued scientific experimentation, data collection, and monitoring to better address the important resources in the Colorado River below Glen Canyon Dam. In cooperation with five Interior agencies, the upcoming release is designed to take full advantage of sediment deposited by Colorado River tributaries as a result of recent rainstorms and monsoons. Scientists have determined that the right conditions exist to conduct a high-flow release to benefit downstream resources, including camping beaches, sandbars, backwater habitats, riparian vegetation, and archeological sites.

The total maximum release from the dam will reach approximately 42,300 cubic-feet-persecond, consisting of 27,300 cfs of full powerplant capacity releases and a bypass release through the four river outlet tubes sending an additional 15,000 cfs of water out over the Colorado River in a spectacular visual display. The total duration of the high-flow release will be nearly five days including 24 hours at the peak release.

Panguitch High School Club Brings Domestic Violence Awareness to Peers

by Brianne Bremner PANGUITCH - Students at Panguitch High School know what domestic abuse is.

They also know what they can do to have healthy relationships. As a PHS Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) chapter member I made this the focus of my FCCLA project during the month of October, which is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The month was busy with Domestic Violence Awareness activities, including assemblies to teach students how to identify domestic abuse, how to have healthy relationships, and how to identify and avoid dating violence, which already affects teens.

My sister Lindsey has worked with victims of domestic violence for the last nine years in Arizona, helping victims recover from abusive situations and transition back into society. In an assembly Lindsey did educational activities with students about these important, yet sometimes sensitive issues.

Another activity was the “Clothesline Project.” Each student received a paper t-shirt to write a pledge, thoughts, feelings, or draw a picture related to domestic violence/ abuse and relationships. These t-shirts were displayed on a

clothesline in PHS halls to help remind students of the pledges they made. The purpose of the clothesline project on the national level is to allow those who are, who know someone who has been, or have themselves been victims of domestic violence/abuse to break their silence and begin their healing and recovery.

Often domestic violence and abusive situations are kept hidden from others.

In 2011, there were 33 deaths in Utah resulting from domestic violence. Each of these victims was represented at a “Purple Game” as Panguitch hosted Bryce Valley in a volleyball game with all 33 players wearing purple. I made mock headstones and posted them on a wall in the gym foyer with each victim’s statistics and cause of death.

My aunt died as a result of domestic violence so this is a subject that has affected my own family.

The final activity for Domestic Violence Awareness Month was a cleaning supplies drive for the Canyon Creek Women’s Crisis Center in Cedar City. Canyon Creek serves Garfield County and offers women and their children help including temporary housing, counseling, and other ser-

vices if they are in an abusive situation. As families leave the shelter and transition into their own homes they are given a small gift from the shelter.

This gift is a kit of cleaning supplies to help them get started in their new homes. These are items that are not donated to the shelter and must be purchased. I have placed collection jars in Joe’s Market, the Garfield Hospital Thrift Store, and Radio Shack. The money collected will purchase these cleaning supplies for the families leaving the shelter. Please help by putting your change in these jars.

“Brianne’s project went really well and she put in a lot of time. I think now the students understand and are more aware of domestic violence.” said Panguitch FCCLA advisor Tammi Bennett. I feel that if people know that domestic violence and teen dating violence are problems and are willing to break that cycle, my project was successful.

A national hotline has been established for those experiencing or that have questions about domestic violence.

Call 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) for help or additional information.

SANDY – Sand County Foundation, the Utah Farm Bureau Federation, the Utah Cattlemen’s Association and Western AgCredit were pleased to announce on November 8 the finalists for the 2012 Leopold Conservation Award.

“The diversity of these agricultural operations is remarkable, yet they all share a commitment to enhancement of Utah’s natural resources,” said Brent Haglund, Sand County Foundation President.

“These finalists are examples of the determination, innovation and dedication that characterize agricultural families across Utah.”

The Leopold Conservation Award, named in honor of world-renowned conservationist Aldo Leopold, is comprised of $10,000 and a Leopold crystal. The award is presented annually in eight states to private landowners who practice responsible land stewardship and management.

partner with Sand County Foundation and other local organizations to present this award on behalf of the farmers and ranchers of Utah,” Leland Hogan said. “This award, however, is great for all of Utah because the recognition and funding helps to preserve and enhance our open space and keep agriculture viable.

Utah’s farmers and ranchers have a long history of land preservation and a deep commitment to preserving Utah’s natural resources. As stewards of the land we want to ensure that history continues well into the future.”

The finalists were formally recognized Nov. 8 at the Utah Association of Conservation Districts annual convention in Provo. The Leopold Conservation Award recipient will be honored Nov. 16 at the Utah Farm Bureau annual meeting banquet in Layton.

The Leopold Conservation Award in Utah is sponsored by Western AgCredit, the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Utah Farm Bureau Federation, Utah Association of Conservation Districts (UACD) and Farm Credit.

The Leopold Conservation Award is a competitive award that recognizes landowner achievement in voluntary conservation. The award consists of $10,000 and a crystal depiction of Aldo Leopold.

Leopold Conservation Awards are currently presented in: California, Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin and Wyoming The awards are presented to accomplish four objectives: First, they recognize extraordinary achievement in voluntary conservation on the land of exemplary private landowners.

Second, they inspire countless other landowners in their own communities through these examples. Third, they provide a visible forum where leaders from the agriculture community are recognized as conservation leaders to groups outside of agriculture. Finally, the award program builds bridges between agriculture, government, environmental organizations, industry and academia to help advance the cause of conservation on private lands. www.leopoldconservationaward.org.

I apologize to Tommy VanDyke, I must have forgotten to copy and paste his review into my article last week, HERE is his review of the second grade play: “The Loa Elementary Second Grade play was a splendid production. It was about a small school of fish with a new girl fish, Sally. Sally the fish was DATES TO REMEMBER…! played by Brinlee Brian, Mia Pace, Hadlee Taylor, • Nov 21- (W) Minimum Day School Laine Jensen, Emma Hallows, and Cheyenne Jenwill dismiss at 12:05 sen. They did a very good job. Sally was bullied by • Nov 22 & 23- (R&F) THANKSGIVTimmy (Range Welch, Parker Morgan, and Swade ING BREAK Taylor), her cousin and Sherman( Rayce Jeffery, • Nov 30- (F) Midterm Manny Rascon, Quade Snedegar, Braxton Pembleton, and Garret Robbins), a great white shark. The play teaches about how even if you’re the smallest fish in the pond, you can do great things. Another lesson is that everyone should be treated fairly even though you might be small. In the play, Sherman and his shark friends get caught in a net and it’s up to Sally to free them. She saves them and never gets bullied again.

Mrs. Jan Brown and her amazing staff have had plenty of exciting activities during the month of October. “We had a great time creating a pumpkin patch, where we hid pumpkins with their names on them and then the students scrambled to find their own pumpkin.” said Mrs. Brown. The students also used paint, stickers and markers to turn their pumpkin in to a masterpiece. The next week the pumpkins where cut open, each student was given a section and they picked out the seeds soaked them in salt water and baked them. “The students loved this and surprisingly they enjoyed eating them. We are having a great time in a safe, fun learning setting in our preschool.” With the new month have come new changes and preschool is all decked out for November; paint, colored feathers, glue are being seen around the room as the students create turkey’s and placemats for Thanksgiving. The preschool students continue to explore new books and activities with the High Scope program. They are currently reading, Good Night, Gorilla, “Which has enabled our students to find and talk about familiar objects, actions, and ideas in this story, and through these connections, they begin to make sense of the surprising tale of the zookeeper, his wife, and their animal friends.” Mrs. Lori Chappell, the schools music teacher, also visits the preschool classes twice a week. She has been teaching the children different zoo songs that have gone along with the book. Mrs. Brown is using a handwriting program called, Handwriting without tears. “It has been fun and exciting to see the growth the students have made.”

Mrs. Nichole Blackburn’s kindergarten is gobbling right along; the students have made turkeys with colorful curly tails which are displayed on the bulletin board outside of their classroom. They are also studying the difference between wants and needs; and the nursery rhyme Hickory Dickory Dock. This past week in math kindergarten students have been learning about nonstandard measurements and graphs, and this coming week they will move onto writing numbers 11-20.

It is a new month and that means there is a new student government. Congratulations to; Bridger Brian, son of Shane and Tasha Brian; Micha Welch, daughter of Mike and Heather Welch; Addison Grundy, daughter of Cody and Lee Grundy; and Jaden Penrod, son of Cary Penrod. (picture to follow, not all students were available) With Thanksgiving quickly approaching several classes have had their students writing about how to cook a turkey.

Featured this week are five of the many superb writings from Mrs. Wendy Potter’s 1st grade class.

JAKE B- How to cook a turkey. First. I go hunt a turkey.

Next I cut a turkey. Then I cook the turkey. Last. I take the turkey.

AMBRIA- How to cook a turkey. First I buy it at the store.

Next I put it in my pot. Then I put it on 300°. Last I Eat it.

DUNCAN- How to cook a turkey. I hunt a turkey. Next I take feathers out and guts out. Then turn it to 300° and cook it. Last get the turkey and eat it.

NOAH- How to cook a turkey. First we hunt a turkey. Next then we gut the turkey. Then we put it in. Last we take it out then we eat it.

The teachers would like to thank all the parents who came to parent/teacher conferences last week, it was great success. The community council would also like to thank everyone who supported the book fair; it could not have happened without all of you. Thanks to the parent volunteers who helped with the setting up and cleaning up, as well as, all of those who took a shift selling books; A special thanks to Elva Jackson; without her expertise we would have been lost; and of course, to everyone who came and purchased books!

Wayne County Farm Service Agency County Committee Election The Wayne County Farm Service Agency (FSA) is conducting a County Committee Election for Local Administrative Area (LAA) #2. LAA #2 includes farmers and ranchers in Lyman, Bicknell, and the surrounding farms. The candidate is Clenn Okerlund. Ballots have been mailed to eligible voters. Ballots must be postmarked or returned to the FSA Office by December 3, 2012 .

The FSA County Committee System is unique among government agencies, because it allows producers to make important decisions concerning the local administration of federal farm programs. Eligible farmers and ranchers, especially minorities and women, are encouraged to get involved and make a real difference in their communities by voting in this year’s election.

Committee Members apply their knowledge and judgment to make decisions on disaster and conservation payments, establishment of allotments and yields, producer appeals, and other local issues. FSA Committees operate within official regulations designed to carry out federal laws.

To be an eligible voter, farmers and ranchers must participate or cooperate in FSA programs.

A person who is not of legal voting age, but supervises and conducts the farming operations of an entire farm, can also vote. Eligible voters who have not received a ballot can obtain a ballot at our office, at 138 South Main, Loa, Utah.

The Trebuchet was TROUBLE!

The Night was nippy, the crowd was cheery, the pumpkins were plentiful, but the trebuchet was TROUBLE! We want to thank the large group of hopeful pumpkin launchers that gathered the evening of November 1 at the Bicknell Community Center and we apologize for the lack of launching! It was fun to see that kids can have fun in any circumstance and many became expert Angry Bird launchers! 4-H is all about learning by doing and the youth engaged in the building of the trebuchet will go back to the drawing board, recalculate and have it ready for the next adventure! Thanks to all who tried to rescue the launch, the food lady for the delicious pumpkin cookies, and the County for allowing this attempt. We’ll rise from the ashes and try it again!

Garfield County Page Concurrent Enrollment Concurrent enrollment is an option available to high school students who are academically prepared to enroll in college courses and are interested in taking on additional coursework. For example, students who want to study classes not offered at their high school may seek supplemental education at colleges nearby. If a student is enrolled in a concurrent enrollment class, they can receive credit in both the college and the high school for the class. In the 2010-2011 school year, the students in the Garfield County School District received a total of 33 concurrent enrollment credits. As a comparison, in the 2011-2012 school year, the students in the School District received a total of 233 concurrent enrollment credits. This is great news for our students; they are receiving more college credit now than they ever have in the past. Students have more opportunities as they take these classes because when they enroll in college, many of them are enrolling as sophomores which allow them preferences over entry level freshman. When you attach a dollar figure to the concurrent enrollment credits, students and parents can see the savings. If these students attended Southern Utah University for instance, they would pay $421 per credit, which is the current rate.

This savings grows considerably the more credits students receive. For this current school year, we have more students enrolled in concurrent enrollment classes than we had last year; so, I am anticipating nearly doubling the number of college credits earned by our students. If you have a student who is enrolled in concurrent enrollment classes, they are ahead of the game in both credits earned and financial savings.

Too Much Time Indoors Is Bad For Kids’ Health Not all American children get regular doses of fresh air.

A 2012 report published in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine found that only about half of U.S. preschoolers are taken outside to walk or play daily. And older kids aren’t faring much better, say experts.

Too much time inside contributes to obesity, attention problems, hyperactivity and lack of appreciation for the earth’s resources. By taking kids outside regularly to explore nature, you can help them get physical activity and connect to the world.

From building bird feeders to camping, discover together what makes the outdoors great. Project Learning Tree, a non-profit environmental education program, has great tips for family activities on its website to get you started. Visit www.plt.org/outdoors for ideas.

Hey, hoped everyone had an excellent week. With winter sports picking up, and the weather going nuts, it doesn’t feel like the beginning of school anymore. Practice has started for both girls and boys basketball as well as wrestling. People are enjoying it, but are anxious for their meets and games to start. For girls they have their basketball preview on the 16th and 17th at SVC in Richfield. Wrestling has their first meet on the 20th in Wayne. They also have the Panguitch Invitational the 30th and December 1st. Boys basketball has their first home game against Kanab on 28th and another against Beaver on the 30th.

On Monday we will be having our annual Veterans Day Assembly to honor our local men who have so bravely fought for our country. Thank you veterans for your honorable service!

On Tuesday the 13th Coach will be taking all seniors to Dixie State College for a career day. On the 15th he will be taking the 8th graders to Snow College for a tour. It’s really good to see a college campus for yourself. I know personally it helps you decide where you want to go to college.

Thanksgiving break is on the 21st through the 23rd. Such a great time to spend with the family. Well, have a great week and keep reading!

Intermountain Cancer Centers Earn Accredidation

ST. GEORGE - Dixie Regional and Valley View medical centers have been awarded a threeyear term of accreditation in radiation oncology as the result of a recent review by the American College of Radiology (ACR). Radiation oncology is the careful use of high-energy radiation to treat cancer. A radiation oncologist may use radiation to cure cancer or to relieve a cancer patient’s pain.

“We have been compared to a national benchmark for providing the safest standards and have met them,” said Aaron Brammer, regional manager of Intermountain’s radiation oncology programs.

The ACR is the nation’s oldest and most widely accepted radiation oncology accrediting body, with nearly 500 accredited sites, and 25 years of accreditation experience. The ACR seal of accreditation represents the highest level of quality and patient safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting specific practice guidelines and technical standards developed by ACR after a peer-review evaluation by board-certified radiation oncologists and medical physicists who are experts in the field. Patient care and treatment, patient safety, personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures, and quality assurance programs are assessed.

The findings are reported to the ACR Committee on Radiation Oncology Accreditation, which subsequently provides the practice with a comprehensive report they can use for continuous practice improvement.

“Our radiation oncology department has always worked diligently to provide high quality care for our patients,” said Jane Jensen, regional director of Intermountain’s cancer programs.

“The ACR accreditation reaffirms their continuing commitment to excellence and confirms their compliance to national guidelines and benchmarks.”

The ACR is a national professional organization serving more than 36,000 diagnostic/interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and medical physicists with programs focusing on the practice of medical imaging and radiation oncology and the delivery of comprehensive health care services.

Every1Counts How You Face Adversity Can

By Cynthia Kimball Teach Others Today I found out that a couple I’d met in the last year—an amazing couple by the way—years ago lost their 2-year old son to brain cancer. I was shocked to learn this. I mean, I would never have known. After all, they’re one of the happiest and most stable couples I know. However, once I learned this news, I couldn’t help shake it out of my mind. I wondered, how does this couple endure? Why are they so happy? What makes them so strong? Yet, I didn’t have to wonder very long since I already knew they were Latter-day Saints. I also knew their dedication to their faith. And I knew they believed in eternal families or that families can be together forever.

Yet, their trial made me think of all the excuses and reasons I’d used in my lifetime. Truly, how could I ever have complained about anything? I just don’t believe anything compares to the loss of a child even though, I, too, believe that families can be to-

gether forever. Nonetheless, everyone has trials. Often we hear someone say, “I could never go through what you’ve endured.” Perhaps we all feel that about each other’s trials.

Still, this stoic couple reminded me of some very important life lessons…like how important it is to have a rock solid foundation of faith; of how important it is to endure to the end no matter what; of how important it is to be kind and to assume the best always giving the benefit of the doubt; of how important it is to build up through love instead of tear down through hate; of how important it is to find virtues instead of imperfections; of how important it is to walk the straight and narrow instead of the crooked path; of how important it is to look forward instead of backwards; of how important it is to believe that you were created to do great things; of how important it is to believe in and love yourself so that you can believe in and love others; of how important it is to look for blessings and

express gratitude for them; of how important it is to not gossip, judge and label; and of how important it is to forgive and not hold grudges.

I am still in awe of this sweet couple and their beautiful family. I am grateful for what they have taught me through their example dealing with adversity.

The opportunity for you and I going forward is, when someone learns of one of the trials we’ve endured, for it to have a profound impact on their life to where they want to be better. That’s what this couple did for me. And you can do the same for someone else. After all, right now, someone needs to hear that.

With winter approaching, many Americans miss a few small, but crucial, ways to prepare their homes for the colder season.

“Some homeowners occasionally forget to or don’t realize they should winterize their homes,” says Leonard Kady, Principal of Leonard Kady Architecture, Interiors & Planning and chair of the American Institute of Architects Small Projects Practitioners committee. “Prepping your home properly for the season could save you the expense of repairing and painting after a harsh winter.”

To help you prepare, Kady offers some helpful advice: Check Fireplaces - Make sure you keep fireplace dampers closed to protect against drafts. Leaving a damper open is the equivalent of leaving a window open.

Installing glass panels

over the fireplace will also help keep drafts to a minimum and ultimately save you money on heating costs.

Clean the Gutters -During winter, ice can build up in gutters and in order for the ice to melt and drain properly, the drains must be clear. Take time to clean your gutters now to prevent them from clogging or even bursting once colder temperatures set in.

Clear Outdoor Watering Systems - Water trapped in an outdoor faucet or irrigation system can cause a pipe to burst if ice settles inside. Make it part of your winterizing routine to ensure that outdoor plumbing and pipes are clear before the temperatures start to drop. It can be a tricky task, so you may want to bring in a professional to help.

Keep Off the Snow Keeping your exterior walls clear of snow, especially on homes that have wood sid-

ing, could mean the difference between having to do another paint job or replace siding once the snow melts. This water damage can be easily avoided with regular maintenance.

Use Programmable Thermostats- Installing a programmable thermostat is a great way to prepare for winter.

They are reasonably universal to install and allow you to program temperatures that make sense for your home -- such as keeping it cooler during the day when no one is home.

Get Help -An architect can check your home for pockets of energy inefficiency.

To help ready your home for the winter months, find an architect in your area by visiting http://architectfinder.aia.org/.

Preparation now can save you time and money later. This season, don’t forget to winterize your home.

Capacity to Make a Will

By Jeffery J. McKenna

We all know that a person must be of sound mind to make a valid will. But, what does this mean? Can someone with a mental disability make a valid will? How about someone in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease?

To determine whether someone has capacity to make a will, courts generally apply four criteria of capacity that must be satisfied for a will to be valid: 1. The maker of the will must understand that he or she is making a will, and disposing of his or her assets at death.

2. He or she must understand the nature and extent of his or her assets.

3. He or she must understand and recall those persons who have a claim to his or her assets.

4. He or she must not be under any insane delusions that affect his or her judgment in making the will.

If these criteria are met, the maker of the will has the required mental capacity, even if he or she has a mental disability. Accordingly, it is possible for someone in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease, or other mentally debilitating diseases, to make a valid will.

There have been many cases where the will of a person with some sort of mental disability has been challenged and found to be valid, often because that person’s attorney had taken special care to document and verify the client’s capacity to make the will. Of course, if the Alzheimer’s disease or mental disability has progressed to the point where the sufferer does not recognize family members, or does not know his or her own assets, he or she would be

found not to have the capacity to make a valid will.

When someone asks a lawyer to draw a will, it is the lawyer’s duty to take appropriate steps to determine that his or her client has the mental capacity to do so. In most cases, a lawyer does this by asking the client appropriate questions about such things as the client’s family, assets, and reasons for including or not including specific beneficiaries.

Because a disappointed family member might later question the client’s capacity to make the will, a lawyer will make inquiries to determine and document his or her client’s capacity if there is any indication that the client might not have capacity. Sometimes a lawyer will make a video tape of the client responding to certain questions.

By taking appropriate steps to determine that their clients have the mental capacity to make wills, lawyers reduce the risk of the wills being successfully challenged in court, and, thereby, protect their clients’ wishes.

Directions

A friend of ours from another city was on her way to our house when suddenly she realized she had made a wrong turn.

She stopped and asked a lady for directions.

“Go back down this road through a couple of traffic lights,” she was instructed, “then stop and ask someone else.”

Dinosaur Bones

Some tourists in the Chicago Museum of Natural History are marveling at the dinosaur bones. One of them asks the guard, “Can you tell me how old the dinosaur bones are?”

The guard replies, “They are 3 million, four years, and six months old.”

“That’s an awfully exact number,” says the tourist.

“How do you know their age so precisely?”

The guard answers, “Well, the dinosaur bones were three million years old when I started working here, and that was four and a half years ago.”

Adus Dorsey On Veterans Days 2012 the Stars and Stripes swayed proudly in the crisp Sunday morning breeze on Torrey’s Main Street. A proud proclamation to the world we are Americans and proud of our Veterans for the freedoms they fought and died to protect, and proud of the flag of the United States of America that represents our values of truth, liberty, and justice.

My proudest moments in public are proclaiming “I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” To think of all the Memorial Day services and the graves fellow Veterans I have stood near in Wayne County, when the American flag is treated with the highest of respect constantly reminds me that I have much to be grateful for.

On Veterans Day 2012 Lyman Town held a dedication ceremony for a new Veterans Memorial. The Veterans Memorial Committee consisted of Alfonzo Turner, Jack Chappell, Kenneth Noyes and Seth Chappell. A flag ceremony was weld by the Lyman Scout Troop 586. The Lyman Ward Primary children opened with God Gave Me Dear America.

Afterwards World War II Veterans Alfonzo Turner, Jack Chappell and Wendell Chappell spoke about their military service. In a poignant moment in Jack Chappell’s recollection of his experience he told a story of when he was in Af-

Wendell Chappell spoke of chance meeting with General Macarthur in Japan.

The stories from these local Veterans and the statistics that Mayor Seth Chappell shared about Lyman’s and Wayne County participation in the military service showed amazing patriotism from our valley.

Kenneth Noyes, Commander of the Harold Brown American Legion Post 92 gave the dedicatory prayer and benediction. It was a happy moment for Lyman Town and Veterans everywhere. Thank

you for your service and friendship. Pictures were taken and some tears shed.

In Loa plans are well under way to construct a new Veterans Memorial on Main Street within the coming year.

Wayne County has a long proud tradition of paying tribute to Veterans and continues to do so. To kick off the 2012 Wayne County fair in August officials from Loa, Bicknell, Hanksville, Torrey and Lyman signed Community Covenant.

The overall goal of the Community Covenant program is to educate local leaders on the challenges that service members and their families experience in all phases of deployment, provide them with information on programs available to help military family members and create a dia-

logue with the Utah National Guard to ensure that communities can meet the needs of service members, veterans and their families.

The election is over and we can go back to doing what we were doing before? It was really amazing to see the great turnout at the election polls.

Unofficially, because I can’t remember the exact numbers, we have five hundred plus registered voters in Escalante and four hundred of them voted at the polls. That was not counting absentee ballots and early voters! So it was good to see such interest on the part of our citizens. Exact numbers will be posted in the paper today.

A large number of LDS members from our two wards attended Stake Temple Day on November 3rd. That is always a very nice day and it is good to see other members from our stake in attendance also.

Then on Sunday we had stake temple day in Escalante and there was an even larger group in attendance there.

There were many good talks pertaining to good parenting.

We have a lot of good kids in our stake but even our stake president said it took him a few years while he was growing up before he realized just how wise his parents were and that they were not the enemy.

Most parents only want what is best for their kids but for most it takes a while to see that and if we can help each other…all the better. You know the saying, “It takes a village!”

Sorry to say we have had

quite a few on our sick list again.

Vaunie Richins took a ride on the ambulance to get a nose bleed stopped.

Dixie Mitchell went to St. George for knee surgery on Wednesday. She will stay there for a few days of therapy. Her daughters, Derlynne Brooks and Tracy Robison went down to be with her.

Shane Young went to the hospital with breathing problems. He was diagnosed as having pneumonia. He is back home and doing better.

Marilyn Christensen also went to the hospital with pneumonia. Seems that is getting an early start. Those of you who are used to having pneumonia shots should check with your doctor to see if it is time to have another one!

Lillian Lyman has had back surgery and is back home to recover from that. She has been having back problems for some time now so hopefully she will be feeling better before long.

Jerry Roundy has been doing great since his hip surgery, but took a fall recently.

He went back to his doctor to see if he had done anything to the new hip, but it was okay.

Just has another sore spot to deal with for a while.

Owen Gonder and Mark Austin have both had joint surgery in the past month or two.

They both seem to be getting around pretty well. That seems to be the IN thing to do lately.

But isn’t it great what doctors can do to fix us up? Lane Liston is getting around quite well

now too since his hip surgery.

On the weekend Dallas and Emilee Clark and family came over from Henrieville to visit their grandparents, Lane and Geraldine Liston. They had birthday dinner with Geraldine (49 again!) and the boys split wood for them so they can be warm this winter.

Danny and Sherrie Meisenbach took the Liston’s to Cowboy Blues for dinner and to celebrate Geraldine’s birthday. Mel and Judy brooks were also in attendance. Geraldine says the one man show Shannon Steed puts on up there is well worth a cover charge!

The Daughters of the Utah Pioneers (D.U.P.) held their monthly meeting last Thursday night. There were 27 members in attendance, 8 visitors and associates and 3 men also stayed after dinner for a slide presentation. Camp Captain, Victory Crawford was in charge. Sherree Roundy gave the lesson on the 100 year old Rexburg, Idaho Tabernacle and Jerry Roundy showed slides of the Teton Dam when it burst, on June 5, 1976, which also happened to be on Jerry’s birthday. Jerry and his family were living in Rexburg at the time. Sue Bassett also happened to be in Rexburg then and offered other stories about things she remembered of that terrible time. Josey Muse gave a history of her grandparents and it was a very informative and rewarding meeting.

Scott and Penny Anderson, came to the senior citizen dinner and stayed for the DUP

meeting, with their neighbors Vergean and Carolyn Porter.

Penny is a daughter of former resident Vera Woolsey.

Lindsey Phillips, our senior All Star played in the 1-A 2-A Volley Ball All Star game in Panguitch last week. We are very proud of Lindsey. She is an all around athletic star no matter which game she plays.

Congratulations to her!

Escalante relatives of Betty Shurtz Schow, 85, received word of her passing, in Salt Lake City on November 6, 2012. Betty grew up in Escalante and lived in the house just South of the Padre Motel. Her parents were Ray and Mary Alexie Roundy Shurtz.

She married Blake Schow, who also grew up in Escalante and was a son of Mike and Anis Schow. They lived in the house which is now occupied

by Dennis and Jean Bramble.

Betty’s funeral was held on Saturday, November 10, 2012.

Delbert James Fry, 65, passed away November 7, 2012, in Richfield after a short but valiant battle with cancer.

He is the husband of the former Virginia Shurtz who grew up here in Escalante. Virginia just lost her mother, Loretta Pratt Shurtz, on August 31, 2012. Some of you may remember that Delbert worked as the chef in Slice ‘em Thins Restaurant in the old Johnston Hotel on Richfield’s Main Street for many years. His funeral was scheduled for 11:00 A. M. today, November 15, 2012.

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com biggest crowd so far for this fund raiser. These are the best senior volleyball players in Southern Utah and the crowd was treated to some very good games. The 1A teams have dominated this series over the years, winning 11 out of 12 years, however the 2A players have taken the last two games. The 2A teams have really showed up with some tall girls that can really hit, the 1A girls kept it close and they were fun games. This All-Sar game give these girls one last game to play in and have fun, because they are all winners, regardless of who wins the game. It is also a fund raiser for PHS Volleyball team and the girls travel long distances, to Green River and Monticello just to name a few.

Next up was the 3rd showing of Joseph and his Technicolor Dream Coat. This show has had a full audience each night and is a lot of fun with a dynamite cast.

There was a Garfield County Search and Rescue reward dinner out at Ebenezer’s. The dinner was well attended and the steaks were so good. Sheriff Danny Perkins honored long time Search and Rescue volunteer Curt Richins, who passed away early this year. Sheriff Perkins presented Curt’s wife, Diane with some gifts. Curt was a real

man’s man, a volunteer that was involved in everything that you can name out in Escalante. He will be missed.

Saturday morning was the Craft Fair and that night the last showing of Joseph and his Technicolor Dream Coat.

Pat and I attended 3 of 4 showings. I just loved this musical and all of those that took part.

I tried to talk Cheryl Church into running the show the rest of the year, however everyone has to be exhausted. But what fun. Ruth Boshell (a Teacher at the Elementary) who saw the show was really excited about the boys that took part, saying that she couldn’t believe some of those shy little second grader boys, she taught could grow up to belt out such great music.

We have a new bakery in town and it is next to the Old Fire House. If you would like some really fresh baked goods give them a try. It’s very important to give a new business a chance. Talking to most of the local business people along Main St., they have had a real good summer, some had records sales. The 24th is National shop at home day and when possible try it, the money that you save in gas costs will off set any difference in prices.

FYI PANGUITCH

I looked out of our bedroom window at our weather tree, Saturday morning and it was covered with snow. It was the morning of the Craft Fair and I was getting panicky, who would come out on a day like this. When I called Pat at 10 am she said that the place was packed, Christmas brings people out no matter what the weather is, I guess. The Sub for Santa candy booth did really well and Pat wanted to thank all those that came to help.

Diane Houston and Linda Olsen recruited the finest candy makers in Utah and their candy and breads sold themselves. Thanks to all, it was a great day for the kids in Panguitch.

What a great weekend it was! Friday morning at the Elementary School there was the honoring of the Veterans.

There was a big turnout of Veterans and the program was conducted by Dalan Bennett.

Dalan has just signed up with the National Guard and really looked sharp in his fatigues and will do his basic training this summer as soon as school is out. The program went really well and the kids sang songs and the morning was very patriotic.

On the same Friday, at 5:00 pm it was the 14th 1A2A Lions Club All-Star Volleyball game. We had the

our motels are closed for the winter, it costs too much to heat the rooms to stay open.

The news said that Brian Head will be open shortly because of all of the snow, which will create more jobs for the town.

Be sure and congratulate the new Garfield County School Board members. They are: from Panguitch, Melaney Draper and Mike Savage and from Escalante, Myron Cottam. Melaney is a nurse that comes from a long line of educators and Mike works for So. Central and his wife is a teacher at the Elementary School, both have students that go to school in Panguitch. Myron is a former Teacher, Principal and Superintendent in Garfield County.

Practical Money Matters

‘Tis the Season for Donating Money

by Jason Alderman Like many other economic measures, charitable donations in the U.S. have yet to bounce back to pre-recession levels. According to Giving USA’s Annual Report on Philanthropy, charitable contributions totaled $298.4 billion in 2011 – up 4 percent from 2010, but still 11 percent below 2007 levels.

The vast majority of those contributions (73 percent) came from individuals, demonstrating that even during tough economic times, people still find ways to support organizations that help those less fortunate than themselves.

Because half of all donations typically are made between Thanksgiving and New Year’s, this is a good time to highlight precautions you can take to ensure your gift has the biggest possible impact, both on the people you want to help and on your own bottom line; also to remind seniors about a tax policy that has changed since last year: Contribution eligibility. If you itemize expenses on your 2012 income taxes, any charitable contributions you plan to deduct must be made by year’s end. That means either charging your credit or debit card or postmarking a check by midnight on December 31, 2012.

You must have a receipt to claim deductions for cash or property, no matter how small. A cancelled check or credit card statement is fine

for contributions under $250, but amounts over $250 require a written statement from the charity. See IRS Publication 526 for details (www.irs.gov).

Confirm tax-exempt status. For your contribution to be deductible, the organization must be recognized as tax-exempt by the IRS. It’s important to note that in recent years the IRS has revoked the tax-exempt status of scores of nonprofit organizations because they didn’t file annual reports for three consecutive years, as required by law. Use the IRS Exempt Organizations Select Check tool to ensure an organization’s eligibility.

Get bang for your buck.

Make sure any non-profit to which you donate is wellrun. Ideally the organization applies at least 75 percent of contributions to programs that serve its beneficiaries, versus spending on salaries, advertising, fund-raising and other administrative expenses.

Study the organization’s website, annual report and mission statement, and ask for a copy of its IRS Form 990, which details how contributions are spent. Speak to staff members or volunteers, or volunteer there yourself. Or, if you know someone who has used its services, ask for their impressions of the organization’s efficiency and helpfulness to clients.

and “Tips and Resources” sections provide helpful evaluation tools (www.charitynavigator.org). And GuideStar offers helpful questions to ask potential recipients and tips for choosing a charity (www. guidestar.org).

No more direct IRA distributions. A major tax break for senior citizens regarding charitable contributions expired at the end of 2011.

Formerly, people over age 70 ½ could contribute up to $100,000 from their IRAs directly to charity and have it count toward their annual IRA Required Minimum Distribution. This allowed seniors to avoid having to count the funds as adjusted gross income, thereby reaping a tax advantage even if they didn’t itemize deductions.

And finally, if you can’t afford a cash donation but still want to help, consider donating your time. Numerous organizations can match you up with local charities that suit your interests, including the government’s United We Serve site (www.serve.gov), Network for Good (www.networkforgood.org), and Volunteer Match (www.volunteermatch.org).

Great Gift Ideas for Kids to Give Between family, friends, coaches and teachers, some children give as many holiday presents as they receive. Helping your child pick out great gifts can be tricky and often times, impersonal. This year, encourage your child’s creativity with easy kids’ crafts they’ll give as gifts.

Do-it-yourself handmade gifts are a growing trend, thanks to the popularity of sites like Etsy and Pinterest.

“Unlike a store-bought present, a handmade present is a personalized treasure made by you!” says Meg Survil, general manager of the brand MakIt, which preserves chil-

dren’s artwork on objects like plates and bowls.

Here are a few suggestions for thoughtful gifts kids can give this holiday: Scrapbook. Scrapbooks are a great way for children to show their appreciation for friends and siblings. They can create an interactive stroll down memory lane with pictures, cards and other mementos. Include shared interests and pictures of both the child and gift recipient together to truly personalize the present.

Art and Photo Projects.

Immortalizing your child’s

artwork or an adorable photograph is a perfect keepsake from your child. For example, MakIt will embed your drawing or photo into everyday items such as plates and travel tumblers you can enjoy daily.

The products are nontoxic, BPA-free and made in the USA. Dishwasher-safe, they are also break-resistant, so they can last forever.

And don`t forget Fido!

You can create gifts for your pets and from your pets as well. Learn more at www.

MakIt.com or by calling 1-800-248-9443.

Gift

Bas-

kets. You and your child can have fun putting together gift baskets. Choose a theme to reflect the personality of the recipient. If the basket is for a beloved teacher, an educational theme would be great.

If your child and grandparent love to play catch together, a sports-themed basket would be ideal. Use your imagination when it comes to the theme and always make sure the basket is overflowing!

With handmade gifts like these, your child is sure to have the perfect present for everyone.

For Your Health Preventing Cavities in Babies and Children Adults can decide for themselves whether to prevent cavities and gingivitis by proper tooth and gum care, or to be negligent and suffer tooth pain, tooth loss, and gum disease. However, children are dependent on their parents and caregivers to help keep them disease free until they reach a responsible age.

Why Baby Teeth Need Care Some people unwisely think that baby teeth are not important, as they will be lost in a short time anyway. Children need healthy baby teeth so they can chew food properly, speak words as they should, and keep sufficient space in the mouth for their adult teeth to come in straight.

Foods and Drinks That Cause Decay The major culprit in cavities and gum disease is sugar. Bacteria use the sugar for food and produce acids that erode the teeth. Breast milk is the healthiest food for babies, as it helps stop bacteria. All sugary foods and drinks promote tooth and gum damage. This includes milk, formula, fruit juices, and sugar-containing baby food. Experts discovered that alternating these sugary drinks with breast milk is actually worse than giving children sugar alone! For this reason, parents should avoid offering sugary foods and drinks as much as possible.

It is also important to watch how long sugary substances remain in the mouth. Giving a child a “sippy cup” or bottle with these products in it allows greater exposure over the course of the day. Giving a bottle at night that allows a baby to suck while asleep causes cavities in the teeth exposed to the sugar, a condition known as nursing-bottle mouth.

Cavity Prevention in Babies and Children To prevent cavities in babies and children, follow this advice. For children aged 6 to 12 months, be sure not to put anything in the bottle except formula. Never fill a bottle with sugary fluids (e.g., fruit punch, soft drinks) and never let children walk around with a bottle of juice or milk for a pacifier. Never dip a pacifier in honey, sugar, or syrup. Put children to bed with a bottle containing water and never juice, milk, or formula. After the child is asleep, remove the bottle. Introduce drinking from a cup when the baby is 6 months of age and stop using the bottle when the baby is 12 to 14 months old.

Start tooth care as soon as teeth appear. Remove plaque from baby teeth after each feeding by wiping the teeth and gums gently with a clean washcloth or gauze pad. Wipe infant and toddler teeth with a washcloth with a small amount of nonfluoridated toothpaste on it. When the child is old enough to comply with instructions to spit toothpaste out, switch to fluoridated toothpaste. Start brushing when the child is older and begin flossing when all of the baby teeth are in place (around 2½ years of age). At 6 months of age, start fluoridated water or fluoride supplements. Use bottled water only if it has fluoride. Start dental visits by age 2 or 3 years or earlier if all of the baby teeth are in place.

Remember, if you have questions, Consult Your Pharmacist
