AREA BUSINESSES AND LEADERS HONORED FOR EFFORTS IN ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
CastleRock Coffee & Candy/Red Desert Candy Company in Torrey Utah was chosen as Wayne’s 2011 Business of The Year. They were honored at a dinner hosted by Six County Association of Governments in Sevier County on December 7, 2011. Congratulations CastleRock Coffee & Candy/Red Desert Candy Company! The award was presented by Commissioner Robert Williams (Left) to (Right) Mrs. Kathy Rabb, Mr. Tom Rabb & Mr. Scott Rabb WHY RECIPIENT WAS CHOSEN: CastleRock Coffee & Candy was selected because of their continued business for 10 years. They have proven their great business sense by doing business in a community that has seen its fair share of economic ups and downs. They have expanded through these 10 years and have continued to be successful not only in being a loyal business, but they have given great opportunities to county residents seeking employment in the diverse areas of their operation. They not only own CastleRock Coffee & Candy, but also have the Red Desert Candy Compa-
ny which makes handmade and hand-dipped candies to sell at Castle Rock Coffee & Candy as well as filling accounts with the demand of their goods throughout Utah Kathy and Scott are pleasant to work with and customers leave with a smile on their face and satisfaction in their hearts because of the quality of their Coffee Beverages and Chocolates along with delicious pleasures from all that is offered in their businesses. Kathy and Scott speak highly of their employees and highly compliment them, which proves to why they own such a well-rounded healthy business. BACKGROUND OF RECIPIENT: Kathy Rabb and Scott Rabb, mother and son, founded CastleRock Coffee & Candy almost 10 years ago. Kathy was working in the Salt Lake area as a business banker and enjoyed the small business world. She and her husband, Tom, were attracted to the rural lifestyle of Wayne County, and wanted to make Torrey home. With the help of the Wayne County Travel Council, they gathered enough research to determine who

was visiting our area and what they were looking for. They started with a great cup of coffee. As they were operating, they listened to what their customers were asking for. Good chocolate was on the top of the list. So over six years ago, they started tempering chocolate and creating a few of their own pieces. They ran out of space as their chocolate gained popularity and customer demand increased. In March of 2010, they applied for the Rural Fast Track Grant through the Governor’s Office Of Economic Development to help them purchase good quality equipment, they created Red Desert Candy Company and moved the candy operation to another location in Torrey. CastleRock is their primary client, but Red Desert Candy also has several wholesale accounts and they sell their products online at reddesertcandy.com. Their highest activity season is the Christmas Holidays, so they operate year around which helps provide winter job opportunities. • CastleRock Coffee & Candy Store 12 – Full Time Employees for 12 months 20 – Part Time Employees for 9 months of the year • Red Desert Candy Company 2.5 – Full Time Employee for 12 months 3 – Part Time Employees for 12 months Congratulations Kathy & Scott for being selected the Wayne County Business of the Year through continued customer service and county resident employment provided by Castle Rock Coffee & Candy and Red Desert Candy Company.

UTAH LESS DEPENDENT ON FEDERAL FUNDS THAN MOST STATES
The U.S. Census Bureau’s Consolidated Federal Funds Report for Fiscal Year 2010 shows that, unlike many state economies that are increasingly reliant on federal government spending, Utah depends less per capita on federal dollars. “This report validates what Utah’s leaders understand in practice-that relying on the federal dole is an unsound way to restore economic prosperity,” said Governor Gary R. Herbert. “Fiscal prudence, including state independence from federal dollars which

always come with strings attached, is the most sure foundation for a recovering economy.” The Governor added, “It is no accident that Utah is best poised to lead the nation out of the recession. We have a AAA bond rating, our unemployment rate is nearly two points lower than the nation’s unemployment rate, our economy is growing at two and a half times the national average, we don’t spend more than we have and we save for a rainy day. We make the tough decisions. Utah’s people understand that,
Utah’s leaders understand that, and now the data prove it.” The Census report notes that roughly one-third of Virginia’s economy relies upon the federal government. One-third of Connecticut and Maryland’s federal funding goes to health and human services, while one-third of Alaska, Hawaii and Virginia’s federal funds are spent on defense.

GARKANE PROVIDES ELECTRICITY FOR COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS LIGHTING
Garkane Energy is providing free electricity again this year for decorative Christmas Street Lighting in the cities and towns served by the cooperative. In making the announcement, Garkane CEO Carl Albrecht stated, “For nearly a half century, it’s been our pleasure to help communities feel the Christmas spirit through the free lighting program. It’s our way of wishing our member-consumers a most joyous holiday season.” Albrecht went on to say that community leaders were informed of the program during the first part of the month, and that Garkane crews have been available to assist communities with the installation of the decorations as well as the removal at the end of the season. The free electrical service for decorative community lighting runs from Wednesday, November 23, 2011 through Monday, January 2, 2012. Lighting hours are 5:00 p.m. to 12:00 midnight, daily.

PARENT LINK I would like to inform you of the implementation of a new parent contact system that we will use in Garfield School District in the next few weeks. The program is called “Parent Link”; it will allow the schools to automatically place a call to parents when students are marked absent at the beginning of the day. I am worried about the student who walks to school each day and for some reason or another they don’t arrive at the building. Parents may think their child is safely at school and the school may think they are home sick for the day. To avoid this potential problem, Parent Link will call parents starting at 8:30 am to inform them their child is absent. If a parent calls in to excuse their child from school they will not receive a call from Parent Link. The District will automati-
cally upload the attendance at the end of the school day to place a call to the parents informing them of the individual class periods missed for that particular school day. Parent Link also has the ability to contact parents in the event of an emergency situation. The principal will have the ability to record a message to be delivered to parents in this type of situation. The system will allow a school with 240 students to place a call to the parents in under two minutes. If you receive one of these calls, please listen to the entire message, it will repeat the message two times and will give the parents valuable information. In the event of school closure or emergency situation, Parent Link has the ability to deliver accurate information to the parents in a very short time.
It is critical to make sure your parent contact information is current on the school student information system. You can do this one of two ways, first you can access your students contact information by logging onto your students grade book and selecting contact information. The second option is to contact the secretary at the school to review your contact information. It is helpful to provide a primary contact and a cell phone number. If Parent Link does not have an answer at one phone number it will automatically call the secondary number. The District cost for the system is approximately $1800 which I feel is money well spent to help improve the communication between the schools and the parents. Superintendent Ben Dalton

These girls have everything size, speed and ability to make the Lady Cats something for the next four years. The 7th graders only won 47-7 so you can see we are going to have some great teams in the future. The wrestlers got in some good work this last weekend. They went up to North Sevier for a dual tournament and then went on to Juab on Friday and Saturday, where they beat Beaver in a dual meet. All of these meets gives the Bob Cats the competition that they need, win or lose. Last night the 14th they hosted the Parowan Rams in a duel meet and on Friday and Saturday they travel up to Manti for a two day tournament.

Every1Counts Want to WOW Your Customers? Provide Service the “Zappos Way” By Cynthia Kimball “We can’t do that,” a pharmacy employee said to me on the phone. “You’ll have to have the other pharmacy request the transfer. So, let me get this straight, one pharmacy, of the same company, can’t transfer a prescription? Time and time and time again, businesses tell you “no,” “it can’t be done,” “we don’t do that,” “we’re closed” or how about “because that’s policy.” Well, I’m going to play Tony Hsieh, Zappos CEO, for a moment. He’d simply say, “Why?” to all of those responses. I heard Hsieh speak a few months ago to a group of government employees. At the end of his presentation, an employee was basically suggesting that the “Zappos-way” (i.e., fun, flexible, creative, innovative, out of the box, humble, empowering, engaging, etc.) wouldn’t work in government. Tony’s reply, “Why not?” Look, if you are business, government or not, pull out all the stops. Stay open later, open earlier. Surprise your customers and employees. Get rid of “can’t,” “don’t” and even, “this is how we’ve always done it.” Those lines are so rigid, prehistoric and the furthest thing from customer service. And update that 100 year old policy book and replace it with a fun new culture one (minus the word “policy”). Time to think way outside of the box and try new and different things. Change with the times. Respond to customers and employees outside of business hours. I heard from Hsieh himself, or at least from one of his people responding on his behalf, on a Saturday. Yup, a Saturday. Hearing from a billion dollar plus company CEO or his staff on a Saturday I’d say, is pretty impressive. “The goal as a company is to
have customer service that is not just the best, but legendary,” said American businessman Sam Walton. Zappos (an online retail company, by the way) is that for me as is Zions Bank in Panguitch, Utah. So even though I now live in another state, I still choose to bank with them. They’ve gone the extra mile for me. They know me. They’ve jumped through hoop, after hoop, after hoop. You are a person with a name. They get the whole relationshipthing. They also accommodate your personal needs. I love that. They are that way because of their outstanding leadership and staff. Walt Disney said, “Do what you do so well that they will want to see it again and bring their friends.” You can be sure that if I have friends moving to southern Utah where I’ll be telling
them to bank. And Hsieh, well, he’s more concerned about you, the customer, having a great experience when you call the Zappos Customer Loyalty Team at 1-800927-7671, 24/7, 365 days a week and speak to a loyalty team member. That’s right; you actually “speak” to a live person regardless if you purchased a product online or not. Now that’s, “Delivering WOW through service” (Zappos #1 core principal). Dare to try? You may not have a choice. Cynthia Kimball is a professional speaker and trainer through her company Every1Counts, LLC, and a doctoral student in Workforce Education Leadership.

tHe lAuGhiNg pOiNt!! OLD SHOTGUN
Rummaging through her attic one day, my friend Carol found an old shotgun. Unsure how to dispose of it, she called her parents. “Take it to the police station,” her mother suggested. My friend was about to hang up when her mom added.... “And, Carol?” “Yes, mom?” “Call them first and let them know you’re coming.”
DISCOUNT SHOPPING
A young man was walking through a supermarket to pick up a few things when he noticed an old lady following him around. Thinking nothing of it, he ignored her and continued on. Finally he went to the checkout line, but she got in front of him. “Pardon me,” she said, “I’m sorry if my staring at you has made you feel uncomfortable. It’s just that you look just like my son, who just died recently.” “I’m very sorry,” replied the young man, “is there anything I can do for you?” “Yes,” she said, “As I’m leaving, can you say ‘Good bye, Mother’? It would make me feel so much better.” “Sure,” answered the young man. As the old woman was leaving, he called out, “Goodbye, Mother!” As he stepped up to the checkout counter, he saw that his total was $127.50. “How can that be?” He asked, “I only purchased a few things!” “Your mother said that you would pay for her,” said the clerk.
DUI Checkpoint
One snowy evening my brother, a regional police officer, stopped a car at a roadside check for drunk drivers. “Good evening, ma’am,” he greeted the lady. “How are you this evening?” “Fine, thank you,” she replied. My brother continued, “Anything to drink this evening?” Surprised, the lady answered, “No, thank you.”

This week the BCNP folks will be having a holiday/Christmas Party for their employees and their families. Ran into Wes and Olga Syrett in WalMart this weekend. Chance and Jessica Stewart took their kids and went to Salt Lake and stayed for a few days. They toured the city, went to the aquarium, saw the lights, shopped and had a great time. It was cold and foggy but still fun. Art and Vicki Syrett went to Central Valley (outside Richfield) to a family Christmas party. ALL of their children, grandchildren, and their new little great-granddaughter were there. It was a wonderful outing and we had good food and lots of conversation. Ashtyn Stevens was baptized by her father, Mike Stevens. Taten Leech was ordained a Deacon. Solae C. Leishman was blessed and given a name by dad, Nate Leishman. Dylen Pollock was also blessed and given her name by her dad Nick Pollock. Rod and Kathern Syrett held a big family dinner afterwards to celebrate all the events that happened in their family. Ashtyn is the daughter of Mike and Kami Stevens. Taten is the son of Tim and Chrishel Leech. Solae is the daughter of Nate and Jentre’ Leishman and Dylen is the daughter of Nick and Hayley Pollock. Grandparents are Rod and Kathern Syrett, Elaine Haas(Taten) and Sam Pollock. The Tropic Relief Society Christmas Social was wonderful. Good friends, great food, and a wonderful program. Thanks to all who worked so hard to put
it all together. Eva Dean called to say she returned home after spending time with her daughter, Robin Griffin in Monroe. She went up the day after Thanksgiving and it was just Eva Dean and Robin and they had a wonderful visit. They report that Vernon Shad, Robin’s oldest son, got a job at the glass factory making windows in St. George. They are still hiring new people. Eva Dean said she loved every minute of her visit with Robin. She came home to a beautfully decorated home, inside and out. Thanks to grandson William Mortensen and Sandrea Francisco. They did a super job. Even a new tree with lights and trimmings. How fun!! Our grandson, Joseph Jensen came and put up our lights and we are still working on getting the rest out. Brrrr!! Would you please call and share your news. Then you don’t have to hear mine. Thanks And have a wonderful week and don’t freeze. HOOFBEATS (BVHS) by Sam Cloud I think I have a good one this time. Hope you like it. Greetings out there to all of my highly devoted fans, especially the ones that are viewing this on accident while they were looking for something else and those that happen to be reading this just because they’re bored and don’t have anything better to do. I am proud to report that I actually have some real news to deliver this week. Terribly odd for a newspaper, I know. And as a Christmas gift to my dedicated teachers up at the high school, I have officially committed to being somewhat grammatical and banning the word “thingy” from my literary vocabulary. And I really, really, hope they appreciate it, ‘cause it is really hard to do. For the month of December, two 7th grade girls were honored with an official Student Spotlight. Specifically, Katie Stewart and Elaina LeFevre. Both of them were congratulated on their “Extra Efforts in Fundraising, Supportive, and Dedication”--a high praise for two newbies to our school. Well done ladies. I was unable to get the official statistics from any of the athletics last week, but I was able to get some information on the other games to come. Both the girls’ and the boys’ basketball teams is playing today. The boys are playing at Diamond Ranch and the girls have a Junior Varsity Game at Cross Creek. We have two officially legitimate home games this weekend, with the girls dueling Piute tomorrow and the boys playing Escalante on Saturday. Everyone is invited to come and cheer so we can show some team spirit and drown out the other fans. Next week, the girls have a game on Tuesday at Valley, and the boys have games on Wednesday and Thursday at Beaver and Piute. Wrestling is also very busy this week. They completed their duel against Wayne only yesterday, and they are preparing for a big tournament
at Dixie to be held on Friday and Saturday. Christmas is fast approaching, and the mad dash for holiday shopping grows ever more intense. While some are eagerly anticipated the upcoming challenge, many are dreading the inevitable terror to come--the mind-numbing horror that is a shopping trip during rush hour at Wall-Mart. But despite the frenzy and the horror in the air, the true spirits of Christmas are making their steady way across the land, bringing their cheer and comfort to all who will let it in. Excitement is mounting, not just for the day itself when we get to open up our goodies, but also for the thrill that comes with the service and careful giving of the season. With just ten days left till the day, and only 2 and 2 half days of school left till our freedom, things are generally looking pretty up. More Hoofbeats by Vicki D. Syrett. . . . The boys Basketball team played Parowan on Wednesday and wong. Jake Pearson was the top scorer. The Freshman and JV lost their games. But the Varsity won by 7 points. This week we will be playing Diamond Ranch in St. George on Thursday and Saturday will be our first home game against Escalante. Way to go team, keep up the good work. (Coach is Eric Jessen) The girls Basketball team went to Kanab for the Cowboy Classic. On Friday they played the JV team against So. Sevier and lost. The Varsity team played and won their game against So. Sevier. On Saturday the JV team played Gunnison and they won. Varsity played Kanab in the Championship game and lost to them.

FYI PANGUITCH By: Mack Oetting ~ E-mail: mackoetting @gmail.com WELCOME HOME 222ND IT IS SO GOOD TO HAVE YOU HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS. MANY OF YOU HAVE SERVED NUMEOUS TOURS OF DUTY IN IRAQ AND AFGANASTAND, YOU ARE TRULY HEROES. This is the season to rejoice and be thankful for all that we have. Mostly the joy of living in Panguitch and in a small community that helps each other when there is a need. Santa says that he doesn’t want any child from Panguitch or Hatch to go without, this Christmas, so if he can help out call (676-2418). This years Elementary School, Christmas music presentation will be this Friday on December 16th, at 11:00 in the morning and it will be at the High School Gym. This is the highlight of the Christmas season; it is so great to hear 260 kids singing together. The smaller kids are the most fun; usually the kindergarten kids have costumes. The teachers put in a lot of time on these numbers working with the children till they get it right. This Saturday is the last of the Christmas drawings, for your local purchases. These drawings have been really well attended with many very good prizes. Shopping local helps out the town, with jobs and sales taxes that are used to run the Town. At this years, DUP (Daughters of the Utah Pioneers) Christmas Party, the Women donated can goods to the Care and Share instead of exchanging gifts. Saturday the 31st the City will be celebrating New Years with their annual party. This year it will be SURF’S UP – BEACH
PARTY. It will be at the Triple C Arena and will start at 7:00 and run till 10:30. The cost is $5:00 and $25:00 for the immediate family. The Entertainment will be Country Singer Eric Dodge. There will be blow up slides, volleyball, a money pit, (no they won’t let me do this) horse shoes and bingo. The food this year will be Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, Chicken and Salads – Potato/ Pasta, Potato Wedges, Shrimp and Cobbler and Ice Cream for desert. This is a great gathering of town folks to bring in the New Year. If it’s really cold you don’t have to wear your swim suit. At this years National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, a couple of Utahans did very well. Payson’s Kaycee Feild, joined his Hall of Fame Father, Lewis Feild as the World National Bare Back Champion. Kaycee’s winnings this year is $256.236. There is 6 million dollars prize money to be had at the finals, but can you imagine ridding one of those monsters 10 nights in a row? Closer to home, Milford’s own Jesse Wright won the saddle bronco, on Friday night with an 87 point ride to stay alive in the world championship race with a season earning of $195,508. Jesse’s brother Cody (last years champ) was second with a ride of 82 points. Jesse is only 22 and has a bright future. This week the Senior Citizen luncheons and Meal
on Wheels workers will go on Christmas vacation and the last meal for the year will be on the 15th. The meals will resume again on Tuesday, January 3rd. These wonderful young ladies (who are outstanding cooks) only get Thanksgiving week and this time at Christmas as their only time off, all year. It would be a nice Christmas present if the Commissioners would give them a pay raise, it’s been four years since their last one. These ladies put out over 100 meals a day and cook from scratch each day, saving the County a lot of money. You might check on your older family member during this period while the cooks take a needed and deserved rest, many really depend on these meals. Who would have thought that we would be praising $2.97 gasoline prices as wonderful. In Richfield and Cedar that’s the price and going down. Panguitch is among the highest gas prices in the State, this hurts the locals business, as people will shop where they can save so much on gas. The Christmas lights look better every year and really lights up the City. Many thanks to the City Workers for putting up the Christmas decorations all over the city and on the light poles and putting up the beautiful tree and decorating it at the Quilt Walk Park. What a great Christmas present, the Triple Duce coming home safe! Mack O.

UPAXLP BICKNELL BOTTOMS CULINARY WATER COMPANY IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER Tests Showed Coliform Bacteria in BBCWC Water Our water system recently violated a drinking water standard. Although this incident was not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened and what we did to correct this situation. We routinely monitor for drinking water contaminants. We took 6 samples to test for the presence of coliform bacteria during November 2011. Three of our samples showed the presence of total coliform bacteria. The standard is that no more than 1 sample per month may do so. What should I do? • You do not need to boil your water or take other corrective actions. However, if you have specific health concerns, consult your doctor. • People with severely compromised immune systems, infants, and some elderly may be at increased risk. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. General guidelines on ways to lessen the risk of infection by microbes are available from EPA=s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1 (800) 426-4791. What does this mean? • This is not an emergency. If it had been, you would have been notified immediately. Coliform bacteria are generally not harmful themselves. Coliforms are bacteria which are naturally present in the environment and are used as an indicator that other, potentially-harmful, bacteria may be present. Coliforms were found in more samples than allowed and this was a warning of potential problems. • Usually, coliforms are a sign that there could be a problem with the system=s treatment or distribution system (pipes). Whenever we detect coliform bacteria in any sample, we do follow-up testing to see if other bacteria of greater concern, such as fecal coliform or E. coli, are present. We did not find any of these bacteria in our subsequent testing, and further testing shows that this problem has been resolved. What happened? What was done? Following the positive coliform results, the Bicknell Bottoms Culinary Water Company was flushed and chlorinated. Subsequent investigative samples were negative. For more information, please contact Riley Taylor at 6914037 or PO Box 266, Bicknell, UT 84715. Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses).

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Citizens of Garfield County, Please accept my apology for the way this piece about the Alton coal mine issue was presented to you and if it seemed offensive in any way. While some of the potential effects surrounding the Alton coal mine are national in terms of a variety of publicly-owned resources, such air or water quality, Bryce Canyon, or the region’s wildlife, this does not mean to diminish the values of those who live in the area. As a frequent visitor to your region of the state, one of the things I most appreciate is the small-town atmosphere and friendliness of locals. And as someone who grew up in a very rural part of America, I have a deep respect for local community values. Thank you. Sincerely, Tim Wagner Sierra Club - Salt Lake City, UT Dear Insider Readers, Last week, the article about the Strip mine may have offended some of you. I would like to clarify, that this is/was not the intent of The Insider. I don’t believe most people involved in sensitive issues such as this one ever intend to divide a community or offend. They simply want to be heard. I don’t claim to be “groomed” in how I should operate my business as a newspaper publisher, but I do my best. I have learned a sure principal in my 18 years of running this periodical though, and without a doubt, this is true. As a publisher, no matter how sensitively news and issues are presented, in nearly every case “someone” gets offended. I only present the information as it is presented to me. It is the opinion of Tim Wagner, and I am sure others, that my presentation of the strip mine on the front page of last weeks Insider may have been in bad taste. I write this letter with respect for the readers of the communities to understand my method. I realize after speaking with Tim Wagner that the article was not intended to be printed, but it was only to be sent out as a memo to members of The Sierra Club. I further understand they would have rather had it presented differently. I didn’t think it was innapropriate at all for them to present their concerns. I believe it was pretty clear. It is not my job to persuade readers to believe, but only to present the facts as clearly as possible from both sides, and I believe Tim was stating his findings from research. No one to that date had offered another perspective, but this did open some eyes. To clarify another effect of my method. The information was sent to me through email (by a Panguitch Business) with the name Bobbi Bryant attached as the sender. I must clarify that I have now verified that it wasn’t Bobbi’s email address, nor would she wanted to be associated with it. For that Bobbi, I do apologize to you. Sincerely, Ryan Davis Publisher, Wayne & Garfield Insider Letter To the Editor I am sure as you read the article in last week’s Insider on the impact of the Alton Coal Mine on us and our area, it left a fairly dreary picture in your mind. That is what happens when a well-paid creative writer gives a few facts and then creates a fictional account of the topic at hand. I would like to give you another perspective to consider. 1. The Mine: The mine is not visible to any of the scenic areas listed in last week’s article and it is not visible from any place a tourist would ever be. Nor, in fact, are there many residents of Garfield or Kane counties that could even find the mine. There is no “devastating” cloud of dirty waste hanging over the mine that would point people in its direction. It’s amazing that a spot that few people have ever seen, or care about, can all at once be the most environmental spot on earth. The mine has no negative impact on the environment. 2. Alton is currently mining 600 acres of private property and will reclaim the land as they go. The soil will be lifted out and the coal removed. Once that is done, the spot will be filled in again and appropriate vegetation will be planted. The long-term plan is that all the land will be reclaimed by the company and the additional 2,900 acres on BLM land will be mined over a 25-year period. This means there will be only a few hundred acres being mined at one time. 3. Impact on Wildlife: There are organizations which would monitor the migration patterns of cockroaches in a New York apartment building and if it suits their purposes would make it a crime to remove one from your body as it crawled over you. Wildlife is amazingly resilient and is capable of moving a mile away for a new nesting spot or for grazing. The wildlife I observe in the mining area is curious and doesn’t seem to be bothered by the workers or “huge coal trucks.” 4. Tourism: I like tourists.
Many times I am a tourist, but a tourist is no more important than the neighbors and friends in our community. A tourist should not be put above others. It’s no secret that our community has lost much tourism business to Bryce Canyon City as that town has taken advantage of their proximity to Bryce Canyon. Fewer residents than ever in Panguitch are impacted by tourism and if we depend only on tourism we will slowly shrivel up and die; that’s devastation. We need families to fill the many vacant houses in our community and students in our schools. Then and only then will business again flourish and we will become a stable community. The mine and the trucks provide jobs necessary to do just that. 5. Coal trucks are trucks. They’re not huge or dirty, just trucks, and tourists expect truck traffic on the highways. Our area used to have many logging trucks and oil trucks, but they’re gone now. New commerce always replaces what disappears. Trucks haul commodities (coal) and other products and that’s the commerce that America is built on. And how are there going to be 300 huge trucks on the road a day if they can’t find 300 drivers to drive them? This is an exaggeration. Dust does not come out of these trucks, as our community has found out, and the trucks are the newest on the road with emissions that are
the cleanest in the industry. The health of the locals will not be an issue. These trucks have passed through many towns in Utah for the last 50 years, with no health concerns. The Bottom Line: The Alton Coal Mine is a good thing for our area. It provides much needed employment, putting money into local pockets to spend “locally.” Panguitch City has endorsed the mine because it has seen and knows the truth. The area we live in is indeed beautiful and scenic. It will not be devastated by the mine or the trucks. Life will go on without much notice except that more jobs will be available. The effect on wildlife will be minimal. The Sierra Club that wrote last week’s article is not a people organization but a property organization, as I’m sure you are aware. You and I are very low on their priority list, if on the list at all. Feeding our families means little to them. Rocks and dirt are the gods they worship. Please don’t be swayed by their creative writing. Find out the truth and let the BLM know what is important to you. God’s most important creation is people. I think those who put things before people will one day have to answer for that. Please contact the BLM Kanab office at 435-6444600 for comment information. Lyle Talbot, truck driver In Panguitch, Utah
RETRACTION: To the Citizens of Garfield County - While I was out of town visiting family someone sent an article, without my persmission or knowledge of content, to have printed in The Insider regarding the Alton Coal Mine. I DID NOT WRITE THIS ARTICLE and I apologize as I am sure it was offensive to many. This is a wonderful community and I feel it is a privilege to live here. Sincerely, Bobbi Bryant

A GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEA The gift of a hunting or fishing license will last the entire year. Looking for that perfect gift for the angler or hunter on your Christmas list? If so, a Utah fishing or hunting license might be the answer. These licenses make great Christmas gifts. And they’re easy to buy. Judi Tutorow, wildlife licensing coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources, says winter is a great time to give a license as a gift. “It won’t be long before some of the state’s waters start to ice over,” she says. “When that happens, another ice fishing season will be underway.” And Tutorow says there’s still a chance to get out and hunt. “Several hunting seasons, including the cottontail rabbit, partridge and snowshoe hare seasons, run through most of the winter,” she says. Where to get one The easiest way to buy a fishing or hunting license is online. The licenses are also available at DWR offices and from 320 fishing and hunting license agents across Utah. Combination licenses — which allow the license holder to fish and hunt small game — are also available at the same locations and at the website. They’re good for 365 days In addition to enjoying the outdoors in 2012, the person you give the license to will receive an added bonus — they won’t have to wait until Jan. 1 to use it. Utah fishing and hunting licenses are 365-day licenses. That means they’re good for 365 days from the day you buy one. For example, if you buy a license on Dec. 12, 2011, the person you give it to can use it immediately. And they can continue using it until Dec. 11, 2012. (One note: hunting and combination licenses do not include a deer or elk permit and do not allow someone to hunt deer or elk. Hunters can apply for a 2012 general buck deer permit in February. General elk permits will be available by mid summer on a first-come, first-served basis.) Order early
PATIENT INFORMATION
You may have recognized that those labels have been drastically revised. The allowed age limit is now 4 years. When the labels were changed, it signaled parents that cough and cold products should not be used in infants and children under the age of 4 years without the supervision and approval of a prescriber. Why Did the Labels Change? A growing number of children had been harmed by cough and cold products, and younger children were more at risk. For this reason, the FDA began an examination of whether those products were safe and effective down to the age of 2 years. During this process, manufacturers voluntarily agreed to raise the age limit to 4 years. If you buy a license at the website (wildlife.utah.gov), you can have it mailed to you (so you can wrap it and give it as a gift). Or you can have the license mailed directly to the person you’re buying it for. It usually takes about five days for the license to arrive in the mail. In addition to the three licenses, two-pole fishing permits, setline fishing permits and permits that allow people to chase cougars with dogs are also available. Costs Utah resident license and permit costs are as follows:
Combination license, $30 Fishing license (14–64 years old), $26 Fishing license (65 years old and older), $21 Fishing license (12–13 years old), $5 Second-pole permit, $15 Setline permit, $15 Hunting license (under 14 years old), $11 Hunting license (14 years old and older), $26 Cougar pursuit permit, $30 T For more information about Utah fishing and hunting licenses, call the nearest Division of Wildlife Resources office or the DWR’s Salt Lake City office at (801) 538-4700.
Can Those Selling the Products Make a Recommendation? It is tempting to turn to the seller of the product to ask his or her opinion. Pharmacists are a logical choice for such a question. The highly professional training of pharmacists allows them to provide considerable advice as to when a physician should be consulted and when you can use nonprescription products. However, assessing a child in depth, creating a dose for a child, and monitoring the child are all considered only to be within the realm of a prescriber. Community pharmacists are not prescribers, and creating doses in these situations is an area for which they lack the resources. Typical community pharmacies do not have the basic tools or an appropriate area to assess patients by examining their throats and ears. Pharmacies also cannot provide monitoring. As an example, suppose a 1-year-old child suffered an acute reaction or injury from a pharmacist-recommended, nonlabeled dose, and the parent called the pharmacy for help, assuming the pharmacy was even open. Pharmacists lack the ability to carry out such obvious interventions as ordering lab tests and admitting the child to a hospital. A more precarious situation arises if you buy the product from a nonpharmacy outlet. In this situation, clerks and sales personnel are not trained to provide medical advice of any sort, such as when to see a physician or what dose to administer. Asking them to do so or heeding their advice would be a very bad idea. Under no circumstances should you guess at a dose of your own. It is tempting to assume that the label dose for a 4-year-old can be cut in half for a 2-year-old. This is false and can bring about serious injury. Never guess at a dose. Always call the child’s physician for Remember, if you have medical advice and measure the doses very carefully to ensure questions, Consult that the correct dose is given. your Pharmacist.

INHERITING RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS
Retirement accounts such as IRAs, Keoghs, 401(k)s and 403(b)s present special estate planning concerns. Many tax issues must be addressed when planning for the lifetime distribution of retirement accounts to an owner as well as the balances remaining upon an account owner’s death. The IRS has provided many rules and guidelines related to these retirement accounts both during an owner’s life and upon his or her death. Specifically, proceeds from traditional retirement accounts (generally retirement accounts other than Roth IRAs) are subject to income tax the year they are received. Therefore, account owners, and those who may inherit accounts, generally want to keep distributions to a minimum to reduce taxes provided there is not an immediate need for the assets. Many account owners reach retirement and find they do not need the assets in their retirement accounts to supplement their retirement. For many of these individuals, their desire is to defer the distribution of these proceeds and allow the assets to continue to grow tax deferred. Based on the current law, an individual can defer taking proceeds out of most retirement accounts only up to age 70½ (there is no mandatory withdrawal for Roth IRAs). However, at age 70½, an individual must begin taking his or her required minimum distributions. These required minimum distributions are based on the life expectancy of the owner. Often, if an individual is married, the spouse is the best choice for the beneficiary. If a spouse is named as beneficiary, the spouse can convert the retirement account to his or her own IRA. This allows the spouse to continue to defer distribution of the proceeds based on the spouse’s life expectancy. However, in situations of very large estates where the spouse would have sufficient assets without the retirement account, the children or grandchildren may be the best beneficiary choice. There are many issues related to retirement accounts within an individual’s estate plan. It is very important to review decisions regarding retirement accounts especially when an individual reaches age 70½. Jeffery J.

How Chlidren “see” Their Grandparents... 1. She was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup, under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter, as she’d done many times before.

As she left the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice,“Who was THAT?” 4. A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like. We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods.”The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this all in. At last she said, “I sure wish I’d got to know you sooner!” 5. My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, “Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?” I mentally polished my halo and I said, “No, how are we alike?’’
