Hall’s Crossing Boat Pump-out to Remain Closed Indefinitely

PANGUITCH WEATHER

LOA WEATHER

On February 24th at Canyon View high school in Cedar City, the Wayne Boys Basketball team took to the floor to play the Piute Thunderbirds in the final game of Region 20 play for the Championship.

In a low scoring first quarter for the Badgers they trailed the Thunderbirds, 3 – 15. In the Second quarter the Badgers seemed to find their rhythm and Ty Rees picked up the pace and started hitting his shots as if he had received some real inspiration from Coach Morrell and the rest of the Coaching Staff. Senior Zack Taylor kicked it into high gear too and the team began to show what they were made of, running lean and firing on all pistons scoring an additional 12 points.

Leaving the court at half time for the locker-room the score was 19 – 15 in favor of the Thunderbirds.

A somewhat jittery Wayne County crowd waited with baited breath for the Badger

The boat pump-out at Hall’s Crossing Marina will remain closed indefinitely for repair. The pump-out was closed January 29, 2012 for planned maintenance work to improve the facility. While performing this work park personnel found extensive damage to the docks that support the pump-out. Park employees are working diligently to make the necessary repairs to the docks and complete the pump-out maintenance.

Not to worry as the Badgers emerged from the locker-room rejuvenated as if they all had just received word they would have dates for the prom.

The third quarter brought the Badgers within 1 point of the Thunderbirds at 29 – 28.

MID-YEAR READING TESTING

In Garfield School District we have 220 students enrolled in 1st through 3rd grade. We have recently completed the mid-year testing required by the Utah State Office of Education in reading. Of the 79 students in 1st grade we have 21 students (26.58%) reading below grade level with 58 students (73.42%) reading on grade level. In the 2nd grade we have a total of 77 students. Of this group 19 students (24.68%) are considered to be below grade level with 58 students (75.32%) at grade level. In the 3rd grade we have 64 student with 12 (18.75%) below grade level and 52 (81.25%) on grade level. If we look at the number of students on grade level in

the District the percentage continues to increase from 73.42% to 81.25% by the end of 3rd grade. We would like to see this number reach 100 % of the students on grade level by the end of the 3rd grade; this should be goal for students, teachers and parents to achieve.

If you ask teachers they will tell you, the best way to improve reading skills is to practice and continue to practice. As your students read, please ask them to read out load to you, this will help the student with their reading skills, then ask the students questions about the passage to help with comprehension. A good rule to follow is that if a student struggles with more than five words on a

page, the passage or book might be too advanced for the student. Please visit with the student’s teacher to make sure the reading material is leveled correctly. When students read at home they should read on a comfort level and not a frustration level.

On a secondary level I have received a few calls relating to Concurrent Enrollment classes (EDNET) for next year. We have received some notices of colleges not providing instruction for the next school year. With that said, please note, we will provide Concurrent Enrollment Classes at all three high schools next year, the universities may change but the college credit will be available to the students.

Panguitch#2 Caucuses Scheduled

DOG VACCINATION CLINIC

Political caucus meetings have been scheduled citizens living West of Main Street in Panguitch Precinct #2. In a departure from previous tradition, the Republican and Democratic caucus nights will be conducted on separate dates. The Democrats will meet on Tuesday, March 13, 2012 at the Panguitch Senior Citizens Center, 75 North 50 West. The Republicans have scheduled their caucus on Thursday, March 15, 2012 at the Panguitch Elementary School, 110 South 100 West. Both meetings will begin at 7:00 pm.

Utah’s political process begins every two years in neighborhood caucuses throughout the state where members of each precinct vote for delegates to represent them at county and state party conventions. Delegates attend the conventions to vote for candidates that will then face each other in the public general election. Precinct caucuses are the most fundamental grassroots level of political involvement. They are best served by a broad representation of Utah citizens. Those who attend play a critical role in selecting candidates for public office.

A dog vaccination clinic will be held on March 14th, 2012 from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. at the Triple C Arena.

Panguitch City dog tags will also be available to purchase during the clinic.

Megan Sorenson, Brady Foutz, Charity Faddis, McKenzie Syme with Senator Ralph Okerlund On February 23, 2012, four Wayne High youth representing the Community Youth Council and 4-H spent the day at the Utah State Capitol, talking to senators and expressing their views on HB245. This pending legislation supports protecting Utahns’ from involuntary exposure to tobacco and other toxins in indoor public places. However, HB245 does not ban hookah or e cigarettes or any class of products; it deals only with the use of emerging products in indoor public places. Our students expressed their concerns with the shortfalls of this legislation.

These youth were recognized by Senator Okerlund and President of the Senate Waddoups as visitors during the senate session. Following the session they were given a personal tour of the State Capitol by Mrs. Cindy Okerlund.

tHe lAuGhiNg pOiNt!!

Every1Counts LOOK FORWARD AND KEEP GOING

By Cynthia Kimball Sometimes we realize that the things people do to us are not about us. I mean, just because it’s at you doesn’t mean that it’s about you. Keep in mind that a person who does not have the truth cannot see someone who has it. Similarly, a person who has the truth can see someone who doesn’t have it. This can sometimes be a lonely experience. Therefore, think, “I will have compassion for them because they do not have it and they don’t know that they don’t have it.” In the case of certain individuals, it would never cross their mind to consider someone else’s feelings. If you take someone’s offensive remark personally then you use it to define yourself.

You ingest it by identification. But truth and knowledge don’t arrive at that conclusion like thoughts and feelings do. Instead focus on a humble form of, “I am so blessed that I can see what’s happening to them, but perhaps, in time, it will happen for them” (where they have truth and knowledge like I do).

Raw feelings will go away as you gradually

redefine your identity of what’s happening. It is a very normal human thing where you define yourself based on thoughts and feelings. The rawness is coming from the thinking that is matching the feelings of rawness. To feel raw, for instance, you are thinking you are not enough such as, “Who do they think they are to do that to me,” or “I am not a nobody and I want them to know it.” Here you are using thoughts or cognitions and the accompanying emotions or feelings as the primary ingredients to define yourself. The essence of you is what you think and what you feel. The new way is that you think and feel those things and they’re horrible and you hate that they happened to you. You experienced them, but do not let them define who you are because you are not them. You are instead light, truth and knowledge. You are an embodied form of an independently growing little package of truth and knowledge. A spiritual being is nothing more than a package of truth that has the potential to acquire all truth and with that knowledge do

all things.

You do not need to justify or defend the truth. It’s perfectly able to stand on its own. We sometimes do it to manage our fears, but it is not actually needed.

But the ultimate model or example, our Savior Jesus Christ, won’t defend or justify anything.

So, from this point onward, look forward, keep going in humility and with compassion for having light, truth and knowledge.

Dining Out

St. Peter’s Basilica

On a spring break t r i p to Italy, my friends and I were standing just inside St. Peter’s Basilica, one of the largest Christian churches in the world. The tour guide explained, “This church is so large that no man on earth could hit a baseball from one end to the other, not Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron or even Mark McGuire.”

My group stared in silence at the beautiful marble sculptures, intricate paintings, and glorious mosaics all around the enormous building.

Then one tour member interrupted the silence with an astonished question: “You mean, they actually let them hit baseballs in here?”

The restaurant where I took my two sons for a meal was crowded with fans watching a sporting event on television.

The harried waitress took our order, but more than half an hour passed with no sign of her return.

I was trying to keep my kids from becoming restless when suddenly shouts of victory came from the bar.

“Hey,” commented my 11-year-old, “it sounds as if someone just got his food.”

Bass Fishing

Doug was describing a 30 pound bass he’d caught recently after fighting it for three hours.

Bill interrupted the story saying, “I saw the picture you took of that fish. You’re lucky if it even weighed 10 pounds.”

Doug replied, “Well ... a fish can lose an awful lot of weight during three hours of fighting.”

Fresh out of high school, I found a job cleaning the elegant home of an older couple. Among other duties, I had to dust their many imported carvings and petrified collectibles, as well as pick up after their pets.

One day, I was astonished to find two ivory fossils lying on the floor beside the bookcase. I quickly picked them up, and put them back on the shelf. The next week, the same thing happened.

That afternoon, my employer came into the parlor, her faithful dog behind her.

Looking around, she eyed the bookcase. “Nya,” she asked the dog, “how in the world do you keep getting your bones up there?”

Home Early

Thanks for sharing, Tom! There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.

The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.. Finally the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all.

He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.

The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.

The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, ‘You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same.

When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. But It won’t matter how many times you say I’m sorry, the wound will still be there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.

Answers for this week

Falling Fossils

Little Dewey burst through the front door with a smile on his face. Surprised, his mother asked, “Why are you home from school so early?”

Dewey said, “They let me go early because I was the only one who could answer a tough question.”

“Oh, really? What was the question?” his mother asked.

“Who threw the eraser at the teacher?”

BRYCE VALLEY AREA NEWS

by Vicki D. Syrett 679-8687 or vickidiane36@hotmail.com Residents of Bryce Canyon City are looking forward to their new Fire Station that looks to be finished about the end of April. The work is progressing well and it is looking great.

They have seen pictures of their new fire engine and all are excited to get it here and parked in the new Fire House.

The Mayor, David Tebbs, tells us that they are pursuing a grant to help them enhance the Main Street from the Rodeo Grounds to the Camp Ground. Their plans include sidewalks, trees, lights, and benches.

They have started the planning stage and will get the work started in the spring of 2013. They are looking for about $70,000 to be able to carry out the plans. They already have a State Grant but are looking for another grant to help from UDOT (Federal) to go along with it. It will make the area look more like a city.

The Winter Festival at Ruby’s Inn went on as planned even though there was not a lot of snow. They had enough in the trees to carry on the Cross Country Ski Races. They were exciting and everyone enjoyed them as well as all the classes that were offered.

Some of the more popular classes were the Video and Photography clinics. The highlight of the Festival aside from the sports, was the Guest Speaker, Dawn Mae Mehan. She was a contestant on the TV Show, “The Survivor - South Pacific”. The show is on CBS and she was part of it. She talked about the process they went through and that they were given no food but had to find their own food on the island. They ate a lot of coconuts and fish. She was very entertaining and informative.

The Cross Country Ski Races were very popular with the younger sets.

Many of the winners came from the Bryce Valley Area. Rafe Brinkerhoff of 2nd Grade won a 2nd place and Javyn Pollock of PreSchool won 1st place in his division. It was fun watching them go. McCray Mangum won 1st in his division, he is in 8th grade. Zennon Hutchings also of the 8th grade took 2nd place, Austyn Brinkerhoff of the 6th grade won 1st place in his age group, Trevan Harris also of the 6th grade won 2nd place in the same group, and Trayten Tebbs of 5th grade took 2nd place in his age group. Many of the other kids that raced came in fourth place and many took home medals. It was a great day for all.

Frankie and Gayle Moore and sons, Ryan and Wade, went to Farmington this past weekend to attend the Homecoming of their nephew, Trent Ferrin, who just returned from his mission to Tahiti. They had a fun weekend but hectic.

The Young Women of Henrieville had the New Beginnings program last Tuesday and Cannonville’s Young Women held theirs on Sunday. It all went well and was a nice time for the girls and parents.

Layne and April Le Fevre had daughter Libby home for a visit and also granddaughter, Lainey as

well. Lainey’s mother is Leslie and she had undergone some dental work and was not feeling well. The little brother stayed home with Mom. Congratulations to Dustin Leslie on his engagement.

He will be married in the Temple in May and we are very excited for him.

We wish Holly Baugh a quick recovery after her surgery. She has been ill for quite a while so we hope she is soon on the mend and doing well.

If anyone would still like a “Steve” shirt you can contact Sage Roundy as I am told she can get them or even already has them.

This is in support of Steve Pollock.

Just a word to Joey S. You are very welcome.

Congratulations to the new Bishopric in Cannonville. Bishop is Steve Clark with Joe Thompson as 1st Counselor, Garret Cottam as 2nd Counselor, and Stewart Ivie as Secretary.

Released as Bishop was George Thompson with Eric Jessen and Marty Rich also being release after a job well done.

Ernie and Wynona Henderson were in Salt Lake to be with their granddaughter-in-law, Candice Davis, who had brain surgery on Friday a week ago. She had her surgery at Utah Valley Hospital. She is married to Shane Davis the Henderson’s grandson whose parents are Dan and Wendy Davis of Mesa Arizona. They came up to be with them during this stressful time. Austin Davis also came up and lives with Shane and Candice in Ephraim. Candice’s parents, Kim and Kelly were also there. Logann Eager, Dorothy and Kevin Denny were also their to visit on Friday. Lynne Granger was there at the hospital. Candice is doing better and has been taken out of Intensive Care. She will be there for a few more days. Ciari is what she has and it is where the brain stem grows into the spine. She lost use of her arms so she had to have this surgery. We wish her a speedy recovery.

Max Eagar’s brother Rex and Netta Eagar, Dorsie & Kevin Denny all went to help the Eagar’s on their move back home.

Logann and Max have finally moved back to Henrieville and are glad to be home again.

The Henderson’s daughter Trish and husband Brian Dixon have been in Long Beach California where he is competing in the Scottish games. He goes all over to do these competitions.

Ernie H. had a doctor visit at the Veteran’s Hospital in Salt Lake while they were up north.

LEGAL NOTICES

By: Mack Oetting ~ E-mail: mackoetting @gmail.com Yesterday was the 29th of February; did you take advantage of the extra day?

Did you go to a Bob Cat State game up at Richfield, have lunch at the Seniors Center or go skiing up at Brian Head? Since the 29th only comes around every four years I guess you have to plan something a head of time to put this day to good use. I still can’t figure out why this correction to our calendar came about, but it must be true, or after these thousand of years we would be celebrating Christmas in July.

I had my semi annual physical for my bus driving job and had the shingle and a pneumonia shots. The pneumonia shot is good for six years and then you come in for a booster and that’s it, for life. Pneumonia is a killer in older people and hopefully this is the answer, next time you are getting a flu shot, have the pneumonia shot also. The shingle inoculation is good for life and is recommended for those over 60 years. You have to have had Chicken pox sometime in your life before you have to worry about it. With the inoculation for chicken pox that the younger people have, this will be a problem that will disappear in a couple of decades. The shingles, comes in a rash on your face or body and is very painful and last three to four weeks, however the pain can last a lot longer. The hospital does not carry this shot and you have to have at the drug store and it is done with the smallest needle ever and zero pain. These shots are covered by Medicare. Oh yea Doctor Birch said I was good for another 100,000 miles.

Last week I was going to tell you to go fill your gas tanks up, because gas is going up. It seems funny that when the economy gets better, (stock market up to highest level in five years, unemployment down to lowest level in four years) the foreign oil companies find some reason to raise the cost of gas. Refineries shut down, leak in an oil well in the gulf, this time its Iran, the whole thing really is OPEC cutting back on our supply. We use 20 million barrels of oil daily, 10 million barrels are domestic and the rest is imported. If we convert to natural gas, 5 million barrels daily could be used and importing oil from Canada and Mexico and divert all the oil that comes out of Alaska that goes to Japan, we would no longer be dependent on OPEC. Than Cooper who drives for UPS said that they are converting all their diesel engines to natural gas. Than said they had a natural gas engine that had 300,000 miles and it was clean as a whistle. With diesel as high as it is, this is going to be a huge saving, both in fuel and maintenance. High fuel costs make everything go up in price, because it all has to be shipped.

It’s Sunday and it’s not snowing, but I have taken my cars up to be washed at the jail. In the last 15 years the longest we have gone on a wash job was 7 days, with most of them under 4

days and the shortest time was 20 minutes. So if it hasn’t snowed by Wednesday, we are in trouble, water wise. The best deal in town is a car wash up at the jail, $5.00 for a wash and$10.00 for a wax job (you furnish the wax) and your car will look like new. Call Denise at 676-2678 for an appointment.

There is a lot going on in March, both in town and at the High School. Its March madness and the Boys State Basketball started yesterday and the tournament runs through Saturday the 3rd. Many of the Bob Cats best fans are us older folks, but with ill health and the long drives more of the senior fans are going to the internet. You can get the ball games on your computer by going to web sites, ( W W W. M y s p o r t s g u y s . com) or (WWW. Streamocity.com) just touch on 1AState games.

Debate is being held at Piute on the 6th and 7th and at Dixie College for State on the 15th, Ryan Houston’s Debate team will be going for their 3rd straight State Title.

Drama will be traveling to Wayne on the 23rd for Region drama competition.

The Annual Constitution Bowl is being held on the 14th, and as many as 8 teams throughout the state could be there, next week I will have more information, on where and when. So far PHS has won this event each year and by going to it you sure learn a lot about the Constitution. All of BV and PHS students take part in this event so they all have an understanding of our Constitution and it is a great learning tool.

On the 16th (Friday) it will be Happy Birthday Panguitch. The first settlement came here March 16th 1864 and the second settlement was March 18th or 19th 1871. There will be a program, refreshments and prizes, so come on out. It will be at the Social Hall at 7:00.

This weekend some cast members of the Quilt Walk play will be filming parts of the play at the City Park at 11:30am and up on the mountain or wherever there is snow, there will be a practice at the Social Hall at 6:30 Friday the 2nd.

JOIN THE GARFIELD COUNTY REPUBLICAN’S AT THEIR PRECINCT CAUCUS MEETINGS MARCH 15TH AT 7:00 PM. Caucus Locations for Garfield County: Ticaboo Call 435-676-2403 Boulder Town Hall 351 N 100 E Antimony Town Hall 134 N HW 22 Escalante Senior Center 89 N 100 W Henrieville Town Hall 70 W Main Cannonville 10 Red Rock Drive Tropic Heritage Center 20 N Main Bryce Canyon City Ruby’s Inn Hatch New Town Hall 49 W Ctr Panguitch 1 Triple C Arena 800 N Main Panguitch 2 Panguitch Elem.

If someone from the Democratic party will let me know where your Caucus’s are I will put it in the column in next week edition. The Democratic caucuses will be held on March 13th.

March 17th is St. Patrick’s Day. If you like corn beef this is the time to buy it, it comes on sale at this time. Buy lots and freeze it for later in the year. It is a simple meal to make, stick the meat in your crock pot over night and add the carrots and potatoes and at the last put on the top cabbage, mmmum good.

For their FCCLA project Katlynn Julander and Julia Reynolds are collecting items to put into Infant Care packages then they will take them to GMH, to donate to needy families.

Items needed: Receiving Blankets, package of newborn disposable diapers, baby wipes, Johnson’s head to toe baby wash, Johnson’s Baby Lotion, Diaper Rash Cream, packages of newborn one size newborn sock/ booties, or money ( so that they can buy the above), There are jars around town for the money. State competition for FCCLA will be on the 20th and will be held, in Layton.

A lot going on in March, so have fun.

ESCALANTE NEWS

Marlene Haws Ph: 826-4859 • marleneh@color-country.net First I have to apologize to the Escalante HS Class of ’56! I reported that they graduated in ’55 and it was actually ’56. My sister, Geraldine Liston, straightened me out on that and so did Doug Haycock, from Las Vegas! So, Sorry, I know how important a year can be when we get older!

(I also know what I can do to have people get in touch with me now!)

Magen (Richins) Carlisle and Lori S. Porter are trying to put together an Easter egg hunt for the kids on Easter. They have donation jars set up at Cottam’s 66 Station and Griffin’s Grocery Store and would appreciate help from anyone, who is so inclined, to donate. The time and place will be announced at a later date, so write it in on your calendar and watch for fu-

ture announcements. Donate if you can and make it a fun thing for the kids.

Marilee (Griffin) Miller had a turn riding in the ambulance last week. She spent a day or two in the hospital in Panguitch and, hopefully, she was able to come home last Thursday.

Freland Alvey was also taken to the hospital with pneumonia. I don’t have a current report but hope he will be back home and doing okay by the time you read this.

Marvin Porter took Gloria to Panguitch for doctor appointments. Hope all is well with her. We all have to take our turn, don’t we?

Many friends and relatives attended services for Jackie Withers last week.

Her father, Parley Pratt, was even able to be here

for the day. The program for Jackie’s “Celebration Of Life” was as follows: Invocation by Ronda Barney. Tribute by Jackie’s husband, Larry Withers.

Tribute by her good friend, Janalee Bernardo. “The Escalante Song” was sung by Quinn and Doneen Griffin.

Open tributes. Tribute by her son Robbie Woolsey.

Song, “Wind Beneath My Wings” by Marc and Susanne McLemore. Benediction by Alan Torgersen.

Danny and Rae Anne Woolsey visited with Robert Haws the day they were in town for the funeral.

Danny and Robert were friends back in their school days. Danny says he is cancer free now after battling with treatments, etc. so that is great news for him.

Our condolences to Becky Divers Luttrull and family at the passing of their husband and father, Lonnie Luttrull, age 45. Becky is the daughter of LaNell and Boyd Cottam and granddaughter of Carrie Griffin.

Lonnie was born in Lovington, New Mexico but has lived in Utah for quite a long time. He worked in the Oil Field, and rode with the BACA. He loved to camp, ride his Harley and spend time with his kids and grand baby. Graveside services were held for Lonnie on February 22, 2012 at the Enoch City Cemetary.

No one else seems to be making any news. Either that or they don’t want it reported, So I’m going to Richfield to watch my granddaughter play basketball again. I won’t be gone that long, so…….CALL ME!

PATIENT INFORMATION

The decision to start smoking cigarettes may have been made in response to peer pressure when you were young. Later in life, you may wish to quit for any number of reasons. For instance, your workplace may be smoke free, your family may no longer tolerate smoking in the house, or you may have a serious illness due to smoking (e.g., emphysema, lung cancer). However, you are now fully addicted to nicotine. This addiction is the same type of process as counselors see in those who are addicted to cocaine, heroin, meth, and alcohol.

You are to be congratulated for trying to stop this addiction.

Smoking has no health benefits. It can only harm you, leading to illness and early death if you continue. Stopping smoking can allow your body to cleanse itself of the dangerous toxins you inhale with every cigarette. Quitting “cold turkey” is often doomed to failure unless your willpower is extremely strong. Fortunately, there are nonprescription products that are proven to be safe and effective in helping you stop smoking.

How Do the Products Work?

All smoking cessation products available without a pre-

scription contain nicotine, available as gum (Nicorette Gum), lozenges (Nicorette Lozenges, Nicorette Mini Lozenges), and patches (NicoDerm CQ, Nicotine Transdermal System). When used as directed, they get some nicotine into your bloodstream.

While you use them, you should lose the old habits such as reaching for a cigarette after meals or at other usual times. All of the products are to be tapered and stopped after a period of a few weeks. Many users find that they can then stop smoking.

Can I Use More Than One Product at a Time?

It may be tempting to try to increase your chances of success by chewing gum or using lozenges while also wearing a nicotine patch. However, this practice can produce nicotine blood levels that are dangerous and must be avoided. For the same reason, you cannot use any form of nicotine while using them, including cigarettes, cigars, and snuff. You should also tell your physician if you are using any of these OTC smoking cessation products because they should not be used along with prescription antismoking medications (e.g., Chantix, nicotine inhaler or nasal spray).

Use During Pregnancy

Smoking is incredibly dangerous during pregnancy since nicotine can damage the baby and cause problems for the mother as well. It is also potentially harmful if you are breastfeeding, as nicotine can enter breast milk and hurt the child.

Thus, you must stop smoking during these periods. However, smoking cessation products are also dangerous at these times.

For this reason, you must try to stop smoking using willpower (going cold turkey) or see your physician to explore safer alternatives.

Read the Labels You should always read the labels of every OTC product you purchase. However, nicotine is more dangerous than most nonprescription ingredients. For this reason, it is critically important to read and follow every single label on smoking cessation products. If you have any question about safe use of these products, be sure to Consult Your Pharmacist.

Remember, if you have questions, Consult your Pharmacist.

USDA UNVEILS KNOW YOUR FARMER, KNOW YOUR FOOD COMPASS

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR LETS CUT THE CRAP ON CONTRACEPTION AND ABORTION AND DEAL WITH AN OVER CONTROLLING GOVERNMENT

Recently forced medical insurance mandates are one of Obama’s ways to limit population so our country can be more like China.

Perhaps Obama wants to rule the world as the “One World Potentate” as he is presently putting rule of full dominant control on U.S. citizens. When our federal government dictates human growth population, it is time to eliminate government growth!. . . What say you?

When you look at this country, look at who’s in charge and how it is run.

There are no morals to dictate what is right and what is wrong. If you remember the 60’s, Woodstock, the Hippies, M.J., and the Free Love explosion, well these are the people and their offspring running the show today, tomorrow, and beyond.

Do you not just love it?

The only thing that is not happening as it did in the 60’s, when troops including my brother, came home from Viet Nam, is they were called baby killers, killers of the old and poor, spit upon, etc. Now our Armed Forces are coming home again after not winning, many are dead, maimed, and only a few of us Americans give even a proverbial crap about them.

Who are these dynamic people in the armed forces?

They are the army, the airmen, the sailors, the coast guard and the gyrenes who have fought and died so you and I may live in a free land! How long will our country be free?

So, instead of killing on the battlefield, the free love rides again, we kill by other means. I guess if we do not get killed on the battlefield, this government will dictate how we will be killed by other forms of control. The government has absolutely no right to dictate to citizens that they must pay for other’s contraception or baby killing abortions. Who burns who,

what the out come happens to be, and how it is handled is the responsibility of the individuals involved not the government.

They, this government, will cut your throat first and that means you better protect yourself and I do not think a condom nor the morning after pill will fix that problem. It is time to wake up and demands limits and reversals of government control of everything in our lives.

The bottom line solution is that people need to go back to their churches, temples, synagogues, houses of worship and re-new their morals, their commitments to their God, family, and their country so subjects such as “Contraception and Abortion” does not rise but falls dead. It is time we clean our own houses before we attempt to clean others.

Lastly, this problem did not start today nor yesterday. It started long ago.

Education and morals must start at home with a good clean and wholesome views of the subject by a mother and a father. In today’s society, there is no family nor home. Children learn and are taught by socialists, progressives, on the street, etc. Where are mom and dad? Who knows? Today people are taught you can be better off living as one, have numerous kids out of wedlock, food stamps, Medicaid, welfare, etc. and forget about morals and your God. All you need to do is expand reproduction out-of-wedlock and you get more because Obama will take care of you out of his stash.

This government is playing mind games with everyone. There was a movie released in 1962 “The Manchurian Candidate” which stared Frank Sinatra about army personnel captured and brain washed during the Korean Conflict, then after the conflict they were re-

WHO HAS UTAH’S BEST WATER?

We’ll find out at the Rural Water Association of Utah “Utah’s Best Water” contest on Thursday, March 1, 2012 at the Dixie Center Garden Room in St. George. There, Utah’s Best Water for 2012 will be selected from entries submitted by water systems from across the state. A distinguished panel of judges will rate the top three water samples of those submitted and select the best water in the State based on taste, smell and clarity. The contest will be held as a part of the Rural Water Annual Meeting and begin at approximately 11:00 am.

A representative from Utah’s award-winning water system will accompany a delegation from the Rural Water Association of Utah to Washington DC to attend the National Water Rally next February. There they will compete against the best water winners from other states in the Nation for the National title. Hopefully the 2012 winner will live up to the reputation set by Beaver, Utah, the 2006 Utah winner who also took home Best Water in the Nation.

The Rural Water Taste Test is part of the Rural Water Association of Utah’s Annual Conference held at the Dixie Center in St. George, Utah, Feb. 27 – March 2, 2012. This conference is the largest water and wastewater conference in the west, and the 3rd largest in the nation. Each year over 1,500 water and wastewater system employees, elected and appointed officials flock to St. George to receive the training they need and earn state-required Continuing Education Units (CEUs). While at the conference, those in attendance get the added bonus of networking with their peers from all across the state, and of having the latest innovations in the water and wastewater industry to peruse in an exhibit hall with over 200 booths.

The Rural Water Association of Utah provides training and technical assistance to water and wastewater systems, enabling them to stay current with new technologies and rules and regulations so that they may better serve the citizens of Utah.

turned home to destroy this country and what it stood for. This is the same thing that is happening today but this is no movie people, it is real life!

Remember what the Russian dictator said after the WW II, “we will conquer the west and never fire a shot! We will do it through the young and the school systems.” Take a bushel of apples 1/2 full, place one rotten apple in the center, now cover it with good apples. Question, “what will happen in a short period of time if the bushel of apples is left unattended?” How many people do you know fit this category? I know quite a few turned to rotten apple values by wildly accepted outside influences!

ASK A SPECIALIST:

HOW CAN I BUILD A STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH MY IN-LAWS? James Marshall, University of Arkansas Extension family life specialist, and the Utah Marriage Handbook: Keys to a Healthy Marriage

In-laws can be a source of support as well as a source of stress. The more mutual respect and appreciation you have for your in-laws, the more security and stability you and your spouse will have in your marriage. Consider these tips for building strong inlaw relationships.

• Seek approval. If you aren’t yet married, seek parental approval. If you have their approval, you are more likely to have their long-term support.

• Know what to call them.

Ask your in-laws what they would like to be called.

Some might want you to call them Mom and Dad, but others might prefer that you call them by their first names. Finding this out will help you feel more comfortable with one another. Keep in mind, this may change over time.

• Get your own place. Some couples, for one reason or another, decide to start their married lives together by living with one set of parents. This rarely works out,

and can be difficult for all parties. Having your own place is a crucial step toward independence.

• Be independent together.

You and your spouse should make your own decisions regarding such issues as schooling, finances, children and employment. Asking your parents or in-laws for advice is okay, but make sure you and your spouse make the final decisions together.

• Set boundaries. It is a good idea for you and your spouse to set boundaries so that in-laws are clear about your time and privacy limits. This may involve a discussion of how often and how long you visit each other’s families, whether it is okay for them to drop by your home unannounced, or whether weekly family dinners are too much. Politely letting your parents know how you feel will help them know when and how often they’re welcome in your home. Once you and your spouse are in agreement, it’s important that you each

present your ideas directly to your own parents.

• Share activities. Identify social and recreational activities that both you and your in-laws enjoy. Activities together will help you get to know them better and feel more comfortable with them.

• Appreciate them. Be sure to thank your in-laws regularly for the things they do for you, including being the parents of the spouse you love.

• Avoid financial puppetry.

Remember that financial support from in-laws could have strings attached, and you may end up feeling like they’re using those strings to influence your decisions.

Know what strings, if any, are attached to their support, and abide by those expectations, or don’t accept money to begin with.

• Focus on their strengths.

As with all relationships, it is always best not to focus on the negative. Accept any differences that exist, and look for positive attributes.
