UTAH FILES NOTICES OF INTENT TO SUE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OVER TITLE TO 18,784 ROADS IN 22 UTAH COUNTIES

The State of Utah has completed filing a series of Notices of Intent (NOI) to initiate litigation under the Quiet Title Act for 18,784 roads in 22 rural Utah counties. The NOIs were filed with the U.S. Department of Interior in anticipation of filing suit in federal court, as required by law.

“We have worked closely with the counties to protect title on these roads and rights of way for a number of years, but the federal government’s inaction has

forced us to litigate,” said Governor Gary R. Herbert. “We will continue to use every tool available to us, including negotiation and lawsuits, to quickly and permanently get title to our roads. We are intent to defend our rights, and this filing will force the federal government to respond.”

This filing marks a major milestone in the work of the Public Lands Policy Coordination Office (PLPCO), the Attorney General’s Office, the counties, and the

Utah Association of Counties to assert the State’s rights with respect to accessing public lands under the provisions of R.S. 2477.

Of the 18,784 included in the filing, 2,190 are Class B roads, and 16,594 are Class D roads.

The State previously filed R.S. 2477 lawsuits over 94 roads in Garfield County on November 14, and 710 roads in Kane County on November 10 and lawsuits in Juab, Emery and San Juan Counties several years ago.

GARKANE REFUNDS OVER $500,000 TO MEMBERS

Garkane Energy’s Board of Directors has announced that a $500,000 Capital Credit Refund was made to the cooperative’s membership in December. Current members saw their share of the refund as a credit on the power bill they received in the month of December, while former members who are still eligible for capital credit refunds will receive their checks in the mail.

The refund is a result of the strong financial performance of the cooperative.

Capital Credit refunds are part of what makes a cooperative unique. When Garkane’s revenues exceed expenses, the excess revenues become a Capital Credit to the members of the cooperative, who are the customers who purchase the electricity. When cash flows allow, the coop-

erative issues a refund.

Garkane will also receive a wholesale power rebate from its power supplier, Deseret Power. Garkane is one of six cooperatives, which own and direct the operations of Deseret. Deseret provides power to Garkane and others from its Bonanza Power Plant near Vernal, Utah, as well as administering members’ contracts with the Western Area Power Administration, the federal power marketing agency, which delivers power to Garkane from Glen Canyon Dam. Deseret has also enjoyed a successful year, so Garkane, as one of its cooperative owners reaps the benefits and passes them along to its members.

Carl Albrecht, Garkane’s CEO, stated that he hopes “...a smaller December electric bill will make our

members’ holiday preparations a bit easier in these tough economic times.”

He went on to say, “Capital Credit Refunds should serve as a reminder of the benefits of being a cooperative member. Our members are receiving refunds at the same time customers of other energy companies are seeing rate increases!” Albrecht went on to say that Garkane’s Capital Credit refunds over the past ten years have totaled over $3 Million Dollars.

DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE THIS CHRISTMAS SEASON

The holiday season can be a dangerous time of the year due to an increase of impaired driving. According to the Utah Safety Council, on average, 42 people die each year in Utah from alcohol-impaired driver crashes.

December has been designated National Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month (3D Month). The Utah Safety Council is joining with National, State and local highway safety officials to remind everyone who will be celebrating during the holidays that drunk driving takes lives. The following are some easy steps that any driver or passenger can follow to enjoy a safe and festive holiday without jeopardizing your life and the lives of others: Do not drink and drive. Convince friends to stay overnight, ride with someone else, or call a taxi for them. Also, be aware of other drivers who may have had too much to drink.

Alcohol-impaired drivers drive at inconsistent speeds, change lanes frequently, disregard traffic signs and drive outside of lane markers.

If you know of someone who is about to drive while impaired, take their keys and help them make other arrangements to get to where they are going safely.

Plan a safe way home before the festivities begin.

Before drinking, designate a sober driver and give that person your keys.

If you are impaired, use a taxi, call a sober friend or family member, or use public transportation so you are sure to get home safely.

If you see a drunk driver on the road, don’t hesitate to contact local law enforcement.

Saving lives on our roads is a top priority and it takes everyone’s help. Make smart decisions and plan ahead to better assure a safe way home.

For more information, contact the Utah Safety Council at www.utahsafetycouncil.org or call us at 801.746.SAFE (7233) or 800.933.5943.

DECEMBER

Allie Beckstead, a student at Panguitch Elementary in Miss Chidester’s 3rd Grade drew the winning design of the Garfield School District Christmas card. She was presented a “Polar Express” book by Superintendent Dalton.

You may have heard about the holiday bonus the Garfield School District employees received. I would like to remind you, all of the certified and classified employees agreed

to a 4% cut to start the school year.

This percentage cut saved the District approximately $170,000 in gross payroll.

Dental insurance premiums are no longer covered by the District; benefited employees have the option to buy dental insurance if they choose.

This benefit change saved the District approximately $120,000. I know this has caused an increase hardship on the employees of the District. As part of the negotiations process, a holiday bonus was agreed upon by the employees and School Board.

As previously agreed in the negotiations, full-time employees (40 hours per week) received $200 and part-time employees (15-39 hours per week) received

WAYNE MIDDLE SCHOOL WRESTLING

The Wayne Middle School wrestling team competed in the Wolf Pack Duels Wrestling Tournament on Saturday, December 17. It was a duel style tournament with 11 other teams including Uintah, Delta, North Sevier, Cedar, Juab and many other much larger schools that are known for their great wrestling programs.

Even with the business of the holiday season, there were 8 wrestlers from Wayne that competed. Jaden Ellett was undefeated through the entire tournament. These boys practice together for a minimum of eight hours a week. They are a great example of a team and all support and encourage each other. Great job boys, so glad to see your hard work paying off! They looked great in their new warm-ups and singlets that they were able to obtain with the help of Wayne Athletics. Thank you so much for your support!

Every1Counts

By Cynthia Kimball I think we can all learn from Lauren Scruggs, 23, the Texas model and fashion blogger, who, after a plane ride over Dallas to view Christmas lights, in apparently walking back to thank the pilot, got hit by propeller blades on her left side. So far she has lost her left hand and eye among other things, but her spirit is what I’m most impressed with. For example, after seeing herself in the mirror for the first time she said, “It’s not that bad.” When I heard this I realized that this young woman definitely has a relationship with our Savior Jesus Christ.

Her response told me that her work for Heavenly Father is more important than her looks. It told me that her parents raised her well.

It told me that she’s got her priorities straight. It told me that her foundation is built on Jesus Christ. All

“It’s Not That Bad”

this, even at just 23! Lauren knows that when your foundation is built on a rock, no matter what trial comes at you, even a propeller blade, that, “It’s not that bad.”

Could we respond like this?

Do we have faith like her?

Are our priorities straight?

Is our foundation built on sand or rock? Is our relationship with Jesus Christ more important than how we look or other worldly concerns?

Let us learn from Lauren.

Let us remember, “It’s not that bad” when a trial comes our way. Let us work to find the message in our trial or trials. Let us see what work we can do for our Father in Heaven with that trial. Let’s let that trial mold and shape us to become the most efficient instrument for Jesus Christ.

Let’s start saying, “Why not me?” instead of “Why me?” and watch our attitude and

spirit soften and change.

We may not lose a hand or an eye, but whatever trial we are facing or will face, let’s embrace and celebrate it, express gratitude, and learn from it. Then ask our Father in Heaven, “What good do you want me to do with this?” and even, “What do you want me to learn from this?” The lessons are there. It’s whether we’ve got the foundation to embrace trials or not. How will you know you do or not? When you can easily say, no matter the trial, “It’s not that bad.”

PATIENT INFORMATION

There are numerous OTC products that are safe for patients with heart problems, and the best advice is to speak with your pharmacist for clarification. You should always remember to read the label of every nonprescription product carefully to look for these warnings.

Nasal Congestion You should ask a physician before taking any oral nasal decongestant tablets, capsules, or liquids. The ingredients of concern are pseudoephedrine and phenylephrine (e.g., Sudafed, Sudafed PE). Unless you have spoken to your physician, you should avoid almost all nasal sprays, drops, or inhalers (e.g., Afrin), and also all cough/cold combinations containing a decongestant. A safe option is the external nasal dilator strip (Breathe Right), which gently pulls your nostrils open after it is applied, easing your breathing. It has no effect on patients with heart disease or high blood pressure.

Asthma Asthma products (e.g., Primatene tablets and mist) carry a warning against unsupervised use in patients with heart disease and high blood pressure. Unfortunately, there is no safe OTC option for self-treating asthma, and a physician visit for control of the asthma is the safest choice.

Hemorrhoids Hemorrhoid products containing phenylephrine should not be used without a physician’s advice. In this case, there are safe nonprescription products that do not contain phenylephrine, but you must check the label closely to be sure you choose one of them.

For instance, some Preparation H products contain phenylephrine, while others do not.

their labels warn against use if you have heart disease or high blood pressure. You might try Zaditor, as it contains only the safer antihistamine ingredient (ketotifen).

Aches and Pains You should avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen (e.g., Bayer Aspirin, Motrin IB, Aleve) if you have heart disease or high blood pressure.

However, acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol) is safe to use, as long as you carefully follow all label directions (especially dosing) and another label warning does not apply to you.

Smoking Cessation Nicotine cessation gum, patches, and lozenges (e.g., Nicorette, Commit, Nicoderm) all warn against use if you have heart disease, irregular heartbeat, or high blood pressure not controlled by medication, or have had a recent heart attack. You should visit your physician to explore whether you should take these under medical supervision, or whether a prescription product such as Chantix is preferable.

Allergic Eyes If you have allergic rhinitis (“hay fever”), you may find that oral antihistamines do not adequately relieve the itching and tearing of your eyes. You may be tempted to try several popular products, such as Visine-A or Opcon-A. However,

Caffeine Caffeine is found in Vivarin, as well as some combination analgesic products for headache or menstrual pain. It can cause rapid heartbeat and perhaps should be avoided to better ensure your health

Remember, if you have questions, Consult your Pharmacist.

Seatmate Choice

Carrier Landings

Flying into a Middle East airport, my co-pilot and I reviewed our flight plan for the trip back to the USS Enterprise. We were to pick up a Navy captain, and experience had taught me that even seasoned vets turn whiteknuckled during carrier landings.

Once the captain was strapped in, I turned around to welcome him aboard.

“Sir,” I asked, “will this be your first carrier landing?”

Looking at me with disdain, he opened his inflatable vest to display gold wings above five rows of ribbons. “Son,” he said, “I have over 500 carrier landings in jet fighters.”

“That’s good to hear,” my co-pilot said, winking at me, “because this will be our first.”

The plane was only halffull. When an attractive young woman asked if the seat next to mine was free, my male ego soared. Soon we were chatting pleasantly, and she told me it was her first flight.

“Mom said to sit next to someone I thought I could trust,” she confessed nervously. “And you look just like my dad.”

Pet Bills

While waiting at the veterinarian’s office, I overheard two women chatting about their dogs.

“What’s your dog’s name?” asked the first woman.

“Well, we used to call her Pork Chop,” answered the second lady. “But after the vet bills we’ve had for her, we now call her Filet Mignon.”

Christmas Carol

(A true story) I recently got out the boxes of Christmas decorations and I told the children (ages 10, 8 and 5) that they could start setting them out.

They were very excited and each got to pick out favorite ornaments or figurines. Maria, the youngest, wanted to set up the Nativity scene and happily set to her task.

As she concentrated on carefully unwrapping Mary, Joseph and the Baby Jesus, I overhead Maria singing this: “Angels We Have Heard Online”.....

Under the Bed

Because of back problems, each night I lie on the floor and do exercises.

Once when we stopped at a motel, as I started my exercise, something under the bed caught my eye.

It was a card, on which was written, “Yes, we do clean under here, too.”

ASK A SPECIALIST Random Acts of Kindness Can Spread Holiday Cheer

We are in the midst of the season of expressing gratitude for our blessings and sharing gifts with friends and loved ones. Amid the gifting, let’s not forget to include kindness toward others.

Kindness is associated with acts of charity; it is the quality of being warmhearted, considerate, humane and sympathetic.

Kindness can become second nature to those who strive to become more aware of those around them. So what if you’re in a hurry at the store check out? Much good can be done if you pause to inquire how the person on the other side of the counter is doing during this busy season and wish them well before you leave.

Consider the following ideas for random acts of kindness. These can be adopted for the holidays, then made part of your regular routine in the future.

• Visit a nursing home and bring cupcakes. Stay and visit with the residents.

• Donate books to the local library or a local charity that collects books for needy children.

• Leave an extra large tip for your food server.

• Hold the door open for someone coming behind you, even if they are several steps away.

• Bake goodies and take them to the police station, fire station or hospital.

• Pay $5 to $10 of the person’s bill in line behind you at the fast food drivethrough.

• Buy a balloon bouquet and ask the nurses at the hospital to deliver it to a child or elderly person who needs to be cheered.

• Bake cookies for a neighbor or teacher, just because.

Kindness doesn’t need to cost anything; it just requires a little time and unselfishness. We can all make a difference, one act of kindness at a time.

Are you ready for summer yet? It is snowing out side tonight and we are going through a lot of fire wood trying to keep warm.

Actually winter starts this week so you have a couple of more seasons to go through till it warms up.

The good news is now the daylight time starts going the other way, 2 minutes a day, one in the morning and one at night. So if it’s getting dark at 6 in the evening it will be up to 7 by the beginning of March.

The Elementary School Christmas program was a big success. .I thought that holding it at 11 in the morning would cut into the attendance, however the stands were full and the audience was entertained with a lot of caroling. They changed the words to most of the song but I have never heard the kids sing so loud, even the boys were taking part.

When you hear 260 kids singing it sends chills down your spine. The teachers put a lot of effort into bring this about” thank you” for your hard work.

At the Main Street drawing, the Sub for Santa quilt was won Donna Guida.

This beautiful Quilt was made by Claudia Crump again this year and raised a lot of money for the Sub

for Santa program. Santa will delivered gifts to over 90 kids in our area, to help them enjoy the Season.

Many thanks to all of those who have made this program such a huge success over the last 18 years.

Don’t forget your date for New Years Eve here in Panguitch. The Surfs Up Beach Party has it all ; food, entertainment, games for the kids and a money pit for those of you that can use a little cash. This is a family affair and it is not restricted to people from Panguitch, so come on out and enjoy the fun.

Looking for some last minute shopping why go any farther than here? The Shed has your sporting goods on sale, the Radio shack has all of the latest electronic gadgets, H&R has plenty of games and toys, Forget Me Not has plenty of the up to date clothing for the youth.

The Cowboy Collectables, Bronco Bobbies have that unique gift, which will hit the spot. Shop locally it helps out the Town with jobs and keeps the money here.

It looks like the gate on the dam at Panguitch Lake will be done sometime this week.

The County will be taking out the holding dams also this week. So now all

we need is a little snow to bring the Lake back up to its normal depth.

It looks like the NBA Basketball season will get underway on Christmas day, if anyone cares. All the top teams will be playing, Boston, Dallas, Lakers, Chicago, Miami and Orlando. The Jazz have their first game at the Lakers on the 27th. The NBA season has been shortened to 66 games and with the football season almost over it will give us couch potatoes something to watch. Let the games begin!

On Christmas Day there will be a three Ward Christmas program at the Stake Center, which will be held at 10 am. Come early for the best seating to honor the Birth of the Savior. All are invited.

Christmas is the time when people are putting others first, this year is no exception. A few examples: Local talent entertaining at the Extended Care unit on a daily bases.

Twelve Days of Christmas to show someone cares about your family.

Youth are Christmas caroling Sub for Santa – Jars, organizations, clubs, Angel Tree, and donations from individuals are all making it possible.

The City workers have lighted up the City and putting up the annual Christmas tree at the Quilt Walk Park.

Ride around town and see the house lights.

Christmas Parties And best of all our Troops are Home.

From my family to yours have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Years, and enjoy this little bit of Heaven on earth that we live in.

BOYS BASKETBALL The team has been working hard and are beginning to really play like a team.

They improve even more each game. As of this column we are undefeated and plan on keeping it that way if we can.

The following week we will play Tabiona here at Bryce Valley High School. The game is on the 30th and will begin at 1:00 followed

by JV at 2:30 and Varsity at

4:00 P.M. Good work boys and keep it up.

GIRLS BASKETBALL... could not find any information out so will report it next week.

WRESTLING . . by Carlon Johnson This week was a lot of fun for our wrestling team. On Wednesday we had a double duel with Escalante and Wayne at Escalante. All the team had a chance to wrestle, some twice when both Escalante and Wayne had wrestlers in the same weight. We then went to St. George for the Desert Storm wrestling tournament which lasted Friday December 16th and Saturday December 17th. We entered our entire team in the JV tournament. All our wrestlers had at least 5 matches, this was a great time to get more experience. Billee Jones finished 2nd in his weight class. Joshua Rose 3rd in his bracket and Miles Holm finished 4th in his bracket. There were over 300 wrestlers at this tournament. One exciting thing they do at tournaments is have the coaches vote for most outstanding wrestler, this award is given to only 4

wrestlers in the whole tournament. In the JV tournament for the upper weight class award Joshua Rose won the Tournament Most Outstanding Award for weight class 152 thru 285, so out of 300 kids he was 1 of only four to get this honored award. Many coaches were very impressed with his hard work to get 3rd.

All our wrestlers are doing great this first year of our program.

Coaches Mortensen, Pollock and Johnson are very impressed with each of our wrestlers.

ELEMENTARY Citizenship and Achievement Awards for the week of December 12th: Kindergarten: Mason Stewart First Grade: Ashtyn Flores Second Grade: John Ahlstrom Third Grade: Eddie Garcia Fourth Grade: Braden Syrett Fifth Grade: Madison Syrett Sixth Grade: Clay Mortensen Good work everyone.

OBITUARIES Dwaine Lee Burr 1937 – 2011

Our beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather and brother returned home to his Heavenly Father, where many of his loved ones were waiting for his arrival on December 16, 2011 of a heart attack while hunting elk. He was born May 31, 1937 in Salina Utah to Morse Burr and Zelma Willardsen Burr.

Dwaine married the love of his life, Verlyne Anderson on November 2, 1956. They were later sealed in the Manti Utah Temple on April 19, 1980. Dwaine lived his entire life in Salina Utah and loved it beyond words to explain. Dwaine loved working for the Utah Department of Transportation, the State Road, in Richfield Utah. He worked there for over 35 years until his retirement in 1996. He was blessed with great ability in basketball, baseball and tennis and his name appears many times in the trophy cases of North Sevier High School. He played on his church softball team that was All Church Champions in 1965. He loved his New York Yankees. He was an ardent fan of Boise State Bronco football. He loved the team and all they have accomplished, especially Coach “Pete.”

Dwaine was extremely loyal and proud of his North Sevier High School Class of 1955. He was an ongoing member of the Class Reunion Planning Committees and never missed a class reunion.

Dwaine was perhaps the best fisherman around. His pickup has a bumper sticker that reads, “FISH TREMBLE at the sound of my name.” He loved to take friends or family fishing and did it very often.

He was true, faithful, consistent and dependable in fulfilling his many callings in the LDS Church. He served for over 29 years as the Stake Clerk for four different Stake Presidencies in the North Sevier Stake, a position he held up until his untimely death. He was an extremely compassionate person. He invested his retirement years wisely by visiting all that were not feeling okay. He was a good example of the Pure Love of Christ. Dwaine was a fine example of honesty, integrity and kindness to others and there will be emptiness in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. He was incredibly generous. He was always donating to those less fortunate. He was particularly generous in his contributions to the “Feed the Children” group.

His greatest joy and happiness was any activity that he was involved in that included his family, of whom he was justifiably proud. In fact, his final moments were spent involved in just such a family outing with his brother, Robert, and good friend Kay Williams.

He is survived by two of his sons, Tracy (Tracey) Burr, who is a CPA and tax accountant and practices in Dallas, TX and Dr. Randall “Randy” (Mona) Burr, who is a dermatologist and practices in Boise, ID, 3 grandsons, 3 granddaughters, 1 great-grandson, and his younger brother Robert.

He was preceded in death by his wife Verlyne, their infant daughter Melanie and their teenage son Matthew, his parents and his older brother Gaylon. He will now have the opportunity to meet them once again, and with his wife raise their infant daughter and teenage son.

Funeral services will be held Tuesday, December 20, 2011 at Noon at the Salina LDS Stake Center, 98 West 400 North, Salina, Utah. Friends and family may visit Monday evening from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Salina Stake Center, and from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. prior to the services. Interment will take place in the Salina East Side Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers Dwaine would appreciate contributions in his name to the Boise State Football Stadium Expansion Fund. For more information contact the Bronco Athletic Association at (208) 426-3556 or BAA@boisestate.edu.

Escalante has had a foot, or more, of snow since I last sent the news in.

We still have BIG mounds of snow around town but it won’t last, unless it snows again, because it is melting quite fast.

MaeVonn Taylor and Janalee and Louie Bernardo had quite a bit of company over the Thanksgiving weekend.

Louie’s son, Cale, and his wife, Courtney came from St. George with their two children. Rick and Kim Dodds and children, Harley and Taylor, traveled here from Meeker, Colorado. Heath and their two children, Tee and Haley, were here from Bicknell. Then Jimmy Taylor came from Las Vegas, where he works, and got some big fix-it jobs done for his mom, MaeVonn. The very ones she had in her letter to Santa Claus! After he got those done Jimmy stayed on an extra day to visit.

Alan Overall came home from Moab just in time to help his parents, Bill and Linda clean the snow from their driveways. Hopefully there are no ricks of snow blocking the view of all their beautiful Christmas lights.

Sharon Dale, Eve and Thelma Marsh went to Parowan to see the family of Justin Marsh perform in a dance recital.

Ronda and Jimmy Barney made a trip to Idaho Falls, Id. to attend the funeral of Ronda’s Grandma Barrett. Her maternal grandmother. She was 91 and doing great until she suffered a stroke last year. Even after that she did pretty well for a woman her age. Our Condolences to Ronda and family.

Kent McInelly and a friend diagnosed Kent last week as having an aneurysm. Same symptoms as the friend who had had one earlier! Kent went to a doctor and sure enough they were exactly right. He had surgery on Friday and went home Saturday. He lives in Hurricane. We wish him a speedy recovery.

It was good to see Steve Pollock at the Escalante-Bryce Valley girls basketball game last Wednesday. He is looking a lot better and says he feels better so that was good news! Enjoyed visiting with his brother Vance too!

The Christmas Cantata was presented last Sunday evening, by both wards, under the direction of Sabrina Hughes. A couple of special numbers were by Brent Griffin and Ted Engberg and Quinn and Doneen Griffin. It was well attended and put people in the Christmas spirit.

Thanks to them for all their efforts.

The eighth grade play went off well. Hopefully they will continue to do this each year until they are seniors!

Lois and Danny Spencer attended the wedding of their great grandson, Walter Spencer, and his bride, Danni, in Mesquite Nevada. Walter is the son of Jim and Allison Jensen and the grandson of Theron and Chris Jensen. Lois and Danny only have 42 great grandchildren now. Seven of them born this year! They went to the blessing of three of them all in one day. Each in a different ward! Then Colton, the youngest son of Theron and Chris, is going on a mission to Mexico City, New Mexico so the Spencers will be going to Mesquite for his farewell.

Congratulations to Jason and Karen Griffin, Enoch, who have a new baby girl weighing in at 5lbs 15 oz. Escalante grandparents are Quinn and Doneen Griffin and the great grandfather is DeLane Griffin.

Approximately 75 S.C. Telephone employees gathered at the telephone office last week for their Christmas party.

It sounded like it was fun!

Lenza Wilson had his first outing with his Christmas Lights Parade last week. That should be on TV! It is just beautiful. He really outdid himself this year. Thanks Lenza. That is a great Christmas card for the whole town!

O Liitle Town of Bethlehem...

A song’s history Almost all of our most beloved Christmas Carols have a unique ‘background...’ and Little Town of Bethlehem is no exception!

When Phillips Brooks wrote the Christmas carol O Little Town of Bethlehem he was writing under the inspiration of a life-changing event from three years earlier. Lewis H. Redner wrote the tune while under the inspiration of last-minute desperation.

Phillips Brooks was an Episcopalian minister who preached in Philadelphia and Boston. He was a ninth generation descendent of the Puritans and was raised a Bostonian. A large man, at six foot six inches tall and carrying three hundred pounds, his immense presence and rapid delivery style earned him a reputation as one of America’s greatest preachers.

While he was serving at Holy Trinity Church in Philadelphia, Phillips had the opportunity to visit the Holy Land and on December 24, 1865 attended a Christmas Eve Service at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem.

The service lasted for five hours and was full of songs of praise to God. Brooks was moved by the opportunity to celebrate with other Christians so near the location of Jesus’ birth.

Three years later, at the age of 33, Phillips decided to compose an original song for the children of his church to sing for the annual Christmas program.

The thrilling experience in Bethlehem inspired him to write a five-stanza hymn. He gave the lyrics to his organist and asked him to compose a tune, promising to name the melody St. Lewis if he liked it.

The Organist Lewis Redner The organist, Lewis Redner, was uninspired and struggled to compose a melody. On the night before the program, he woke with the music flooding his soul.

He wrote the tune down and then returned to bed.

Brooks liked the tune and kept his promise to name it after Redner. However, he changed the spelling to St. Louis to avoid embarrassing the author of the melody. The First Performance of O Little Town of BethlehemThe first performance of O Little Town of Bethlehem occurred the next day. Thirty six children accompanied by six Sunday School teachers premiered the well-loved children’s carol to the world.

The Forgotten Stanza - Phillips wrote five stanzas to the hymn but often the fourth stanza is absent in songbooks.

The fourth stanza reads: “Where children pure and happy pray to the blessed Child, / Where misery cries out to Thee, Son of the mother mild; / Where charity stands watching and faith holds wide the door; / The dark night wakes, the glory breaks, and Christmas comes once more.”

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Merry Christmas, everyone, and may the coming year be trul;y Blessed for you and yours!

CHANGING YOUR WILL OR TRUST

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR This letter is being written to express concens which have recently been raised following the public notice announcement dated December 1st, 2011, in the Wayne County Insider.

Before commenting further, I would like to offer a brief introduction. We are the Murray family newly arriving in Loa from San Diego. Our full time homes and family business are located locally in the San Diego area.

Recently my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ross Murray, Sr., became the proud new owners of their very own vacation home located in beautiful Loa. This has been a dream come true for our family.

You see, Fish Lake Resort

and its surrounding area has been the vacation destination of our family every summer for over 30 yeras.

Finally, a place of our own to enjoy!

Knowledge of the proposed dam site and recreational development comes as a disconcerting surprise and carries with it some serious personal concerns, as follows: Concern # 1: Non-Loa residents who will pay to use the newly created reservoir for boating, etc., while fishing and hunting... Benefits who?

Concern # 2 Pressure from outsiders willing to pay to use the recreational facilities while depleting Loa residents’ own local resources... Benefits who?

Concern # 3: Busy roads, increased traffic, increased noise levels, waste and roadside debris.... Benefits who?

Concern # 4: Applicant Dixie Leavitt of Leavitt Land Investment is seeking to create a profit center in Loa, many miles away from his own private residence....

Will this enhance the lives of the people who live in Loa? Obviously, the only one who would benefit from the Road Creek Dam project is Dixie Leavitt. His financial gain would be a great personal loss to every family of Loa, a hard-to-find and uniquely desirable place to call home.

Sincerely, Ross Murray and Family

BICYCLE BARNSTORMING HEADED TO CENTRAL UTAH

The Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area* (MPNHA) is pleased to announce it has partnered with the Utah Heritage Foundation to promote awareness and appreciation of historic barns in Sanpete and Sevier counties.

The organizations will be co-sponsors of the Bicycle Barnstorming Tour, a threeday event to be held during the second week of June 2012.

The Tour will bring together cyclists, heritage and history buffs, and barn aficionados to explore how old barns contribute to the rustic aura of central Utah.

“These old barns are some of the most distinctive remnants of our pioneer heritage,” said Monte Bona, executive director of the MPNHA. “They reflect the area’s agricultural flavor, the industry and practicality of the early Mormon colonizers, and the pattern of settlement they established. By partnering with the Utah Heritage Foundation for next summer’s Barnstorming Tour, we can help people appreciate not only the barns themselves, but the characteristics they represent.”

For three days, people will bicycle through locations in both counties on a guided tour of old barns.

Participants will take photographs and make written descriptions of the barns.

That information will be used to create a guide of old barns in central Utah. Current plans are for a printed guide as well as a smartphone app.

Next summer’s Barnstorming Tour will be the first of what will hopefully become an annual event.

“The Barnstorming Tour will help achieve multiple goals of the Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area,” Bona said. “By listing old barns and creating the guide, we will be taking inventory of some our important cultural resources.

And the tour will also allow us to display and interpret the area’s heritage, promote recreation, and encourage heritage tourism — all of which will help develop the economic benefit of historic preservation.”

The project has been funded in part by a grant from the Eccles Fund for Utah of the National Trust for Historic Preservation (NTHP), which gave

$5,000 to the MPNHA for the Barnstorming Tour.

Stephanie Meeks, president of the NTHP, said, “The National Trust for Historic Preservation is honored to provide a grant to the Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area, which will use the funds to help preserve an important piece of our shared heritage.”

For central Utah, old barns aren’t just an important piece of the area’s heritage, but a defining one.

“Barns are an iconic feature of this rural landscape, but they are fast disappearing,” said Susan Crook, the Utah Heritage Foundation’s central and southern Utah field representative.

“The cycling event and barn guide are the first step in an effort to raise awareness about the plight of the disappearing barns that will hopefully lead to a campaign to raise money and labor to help cash-strapped barn owners catch up with deferred maintenance.”

As barns are preserved and restored, and as the tour becomes an annual event, perhaps some of the buildings could be converted for use as heritage-related businesses or other economic ventures, Crook said.

As the event’s coordinator, Crook said the tour is still in its planning stages, and she invites anyone interested in participating in any way — as riders, sponsors, donors, volunteers, or barn owners —to contact her.

Crook may be reached by calling her at (435) 7735336, or by emailing her at susan@utahheritagefoundation.org.

The situation is common. A client has a will or trust prepared by legal counsel. Sometime later the client wishes to make changes to the estate plan. The question is, how should those changes be made?

First, one should never hand write or type changes to the face of an existing will or trust. The cost of paying for a properly drafted and executed change to an existing estate plan document is far less than the amount that the beneficiaries and estate administrator would pay to separate legal counsel to determine the effect of the handwritten change.

Any estate planning attorney could share experiences of negative effects on families caused by handwritten changes to estate planning documents.

Although no one wants to create problems between beneficiaries of the estate, even small handwritten changes can create great problems. The question is always what should govern – the handwritten change or the original provision? The question is almost never clear and can almost always be argued either way.

Additionally, there is almost always a question as to whose handwriting it really is.

The legal formalities that exist with respect to executing estate planning documents and changes to those documents were developed to prevent the first person that finds the will or trust from changing the terms by penning or typing changes of their own to the document. The necessary formalities are not satisfied when handwritten or typed changes are made to the document.

It is important to note that in almost all situations, one can, with proper assistance, effectively change an estate plan. Although some estate tax savings trusts (life insurance trusts, credit shelter trusts, etc.) are not amendable, most estate planning trusts are revocable, amendable trusts. Additionally, wills are almost always revocable and amendable.

In conclusion, almost all estate planning instruments are amendable. Although the documents can be changed, it is almost never a good idea to change the documents by handwriting or typing the changes on the face of the document.

Handwriting or typing on the face of the document will almost certainly lead to questions about the effect or validity of such changes.

Such uncertainty will likely result in disputes between beneficiaries. These disputes can be both financially and emotionally draining.

FORGIVENESS

2004 (c) The National Healthy Marriage Institute LLC

Why do the people closest to us have the power to hurt us the most? Part of the answer lies in our ability to feel the emotion of love.

To fully experience the emotion of love, we must first lower our protective emotional walls. Once we lower our walls we leave ourselves vulnerable to getting hurt. Since no one is perfect, we all do and say things that hurt those we love the most.

How we choose to react when we have hurt or been hurt by our spouse will determine if we are able to form and sustain a healthy marriage.

Forgiving and offering a sincere apology are two of the most effective medicines to heal a marriage.

They aren’t always the easiest to administer. However, the question you need to ask yourself is, “Do I want to feel anger, resentment, bitterness, pain and misery?” or “Do I want to feel love, peace, joy and happiness?”

To feel the positive emotions, you need to forgive your spouse when he or she hurts you and offer a sincere apology when you hurt

your spouse.

In essence, forgiveness is the process of replacing the feelings of bitterness, anger and hurt with love. The following five steps can help you forgive: 1. Calm down before speaking to your spouse.

2. After you calm down, tell your spouse what he or she did to hurt you. In many cases, you will find it was unintentional or a simple misunderstanding.

3. Recognize you aren’t perfect either. Think of the many times your spouse has forgiven you for hurting him or her.

4. Think of three memories where your feeling of love was especially strong towards your spouse. Whenever you feel bitterness, anger and hurt, think of these three memories.

5. Don’t be discouraged when you can’t replace overnight the feelings of bitterness, anger and hurt with love. It may take time.

Be patient and don’t give up.

Going through the process of forgiveness does not mean you should leave yourself vulnerable to be-

ing hurt again by unacceptable actions. Domestic violence is one example of this. If you are a victim of domestic violence, you should seek professional help immediately.

It is also important to learn how to offer a sincere apology. There are three crucial steps in making a sincere apology to your spouse.

1. Recognize exactly what you did to hurt your spouse.

2. Develop a plan to not repeat the same mistake again.

3. Tell him or her you are sorry.

Some people choose to skip the first two steps and go straight to the third.

Eventually the healing power of the words “I’m sorry” will lose their effectiveness and make the situation worse.

Take some time to think of something you have recently done that hurt your spouse and begin the steps of making a sincere apology.

In addition, think of something your spouse has done that hurt you and begin the steps of forgiveness.

DECEMBER CASE UPDATES

U.S. TERM LIMITS PRAISES UT-CD2 CANDIDATE JOHN WILLOUGHBY FOR PLEDGE

U.S. Term Limits (USTL), the leader in the national movement to limit terms for elected officials, praised UTCD2 candidate John Willoughby for promising to support and co-sponsor an amendment to the U.S. Constitution limiting congressional terms.

Philip Blumel commented on Willoughby’s pledge saying, “John Willoughby is leading the way for the other candidates for Congress by being an early signer of the term limits pledge.

Willoughby’s commitment to returning to citizen government in Washington, D.C. is a beacon that should be followed by candidates across the nation.”

The U.S. Term Limits Amendment Pledge has been provided to every announced candidate for federal office.

It reads, “I pledge that as a member of Congress I will cosponsor and vote for the U.S. Term Limits Amendment of three (3) House terms and two (2) Senate terms and no longer limit.”

The U.S. Term Limits Constitutional Amendment has been introduced in both the U.S. Senate by Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) and the House of Representatives by Representative David Schweikert (R-AZ). This session of Congress marks the first time in nearly twenty years that a serious term limits bill has appeared in both Houses with co-sponsorship.

Blumel noted, “The dysfunction in Washington, D.C. has never been greater, and people have had enough of politics as usual. Many members of Congress are getting on board as they become increasingly frustrated with the status quo. Fortunately, with candidates like John Willoughby jumping into the fray, the political pressure for the constitutional amendment will continue building toward successful passage.”

According to the last nationwide poll on term limits conducted by Public Opinion Dynamics for Fox News in September 2010, the issue enjoys wide bi-partisan support.

The poll showed that 78 percent of Americans support congressional term limits, including 74 percent independents and 74 percent of the nation’s Democrats.

Blumel concluded, “America is in trouble. Our career politicians have let the people down. It is time to limit their terms and return control of our nation to people who have actually had to create a job, earn an honest paycheck and pay a mortgage. It is time for a constitutional amendment limiting congressional terms.”

The term limits amendment bills would require a twothirds majority vote in the House and Senate, and ratification by 38 states in order to become part of the Constitution.

U.S Term Limits is a non-partisan, non-profit advocacy organization that works to promote term limits at all levels of government. For more information or to arrange an interview, please call Ray Wotring at 703383-0907. U.S. Term Limits is a nonprofit501 (c) (4).
