BICKNELL - For 19 years, the Bicknell Interna-tional Film Festival (BIFF) has entertained film fans. The fes-tival’s overall theme is “Better Living through Bad Cinema.” Focusing on the worst of “B-grade”, bad, or simply bizarre films, each year the BIFF com-mittee selects three movies that reflect the best of the worst for a particular theme and cel-ebrates the fun of bad film.

This year’s festival theme is “Singin’ in the Redrocks”. After viewing over 100 musi-cals, the BIFF committee nar-rowed it down to three bizarre choices.

A strange combination of Friday the 13th and Oklahoma, Cannibal! The Musical (R) is a 1993 black comedy musical from the twisted mind of Trey Parker of South Park fame. This isn’t your grandma’s mu-sical! A sideshow screen will display fun facts and song lyr-ics, so you can sing-along with the cannibal!

What happens when you cross a florist nerd with a gi-ant, man-eating plant? You get a comedy musical worthy of BIFF! Starring Rick Moranis, Steve Martin, and a gaggle of other goofy acting choices, Little Shop of Horrors (PG-13) is just plain silly. From mys-tery singers in the background to guest appearances by people like John Candy and James Be-lushi, this is a black comedy musical you don’t want to miss. Come sing-along with a killer-

Singin’ in the redrocksBIFF 19th Annual Film Festival

plant.Our grand finale combines

Dolly Parton’s beautiful voice and big chest with Burt Reyn-olds’ cute smile, but not-so-great vocals. In The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (R), the town sheriff and local “chicken ranch” owner must fight the wicked TV preacher to keep the Devil’s playhouse open. When you combine the dancing sequences with Dom Deluise and Charles Durning with Jim Nabors’ drawl, you’ve got the makings for a perfect BIFF fea-ture.

This year’s festival fea-tures three great films, the “World’s Fastest Parade” from Torrey to Bicknell Friday at 6PM, a costume contest, short musical video reviews, parties on both Friday and Saturday night (food, music and dance), and a Saturday noon-time Lunch and Musical Challenges at the Bicknell Town Park.

Local Volunteers Make for Successful Bryce Canyon Half Marathon

BRYCE VALLEY - Dra-matic and tremendous: two words that come to mind with the completion of the tenth an-nual Bryce Canyon Half Mar-athon /5K, which occurred this last Saturday the 12th.

Dramatic for a pre-race weather alert forecasting in-

tense monsoon weather. With flooding rain falling in other parts of Garfield County, the weather for the tenth annual 13.1 mile run and 5K sprint was picture perfect. A cool 58 degrees at the starting line near Ruby’s Inn greeted run-ners for the 6am start of the

Half Marathon.Tremendous for the

amazing effort of the 200 local volunteers and businesses who supported the race through donations and time. Retiring Garfield County Tourism Di-rector Bruce Fullmer started the race of over 1000 runners.

Riley Cook of South Weber, Utah won the race with a time of 1:06:15. Melanie Burnham of Lehi, Utah won as the top woman runner with a time of 1:27:10.

Shaine Anderson led volunteers from Ruby’s Inn setting up the start line. Vol-unteers from Bryce Canyon National Park, Natural History Association, Cliff Matthew’s Family, Tropic’s own Pizza Place, the Bryce Violin Camp students, Stepping Stone Mo-tel ‘s Bybee Family, Aaron Bybee Plumbing and Fam-ily, Anita Fletcher Family, all manned water stations for the half-marathon runners along the 13.1 mile course finishing at the Cannonville Park. The Bryce Canyon Half Marathon Committee would like express their sincere thanks to the many volunteers for their tre-mendous effort s in making the 10th Half Marathon and 5k a stunning success.

Eric Jessen fired the gun to start the 5k race as volun-teers Grover and Jimbo of the Bryce Valley KOA greeted over 200 5K runners at the half

$1.37 Million to Sign More Utahns Up for Health

InsuranceSALT LAKE CITY -

Utah’s community health cen-ters have been enlisted to help get people signed up for health insurance coverage - some-thing required of most Ameri-cans by next year under the Af-fordable Care Act.

More than $1.3 million is coming to the state to hire new outreach experts and boost technology.

Alan Pruhs, executive di-rector of the Association for Utah Community Health, says many Utah families would benefit from having health in-surance - but either their em-ployers don’t offer it, or work-ers can’t afford it.

“Right now, we’re serving about 115,000 patients across the health centers in Utah,” he says. “Sixty-thousand of those are uninsured individuals. And then, 98 percent of all of the patients that we’re serving are working poor households, liv-ing at below 200 percent of federal poverty level.”

Statewide, there are 11 community health centers with 42 locations. Pruhs says people will be able to learn about pri-vate coverage, CHIP coverage for children, and some Medic-

aid insurance. The latter could be limited in Utah, because the state has not accepted federal funding to expand Medicaid coverage options.

Utah lawmakers have for the most part been opposed to the healthcare reform efforts, but Pruhs says the community health centers are focusing on the patients, not the politics.

“You know, our goal is simply to react to legislation that’s been passed,” he says, “and provide a resource and help to the individuals who are currently uninsured, who may not feel the same way about, you know, affordable options to receive that type of cover-age.”

Some U.S. House mem-bers are still trying to pass leg-islation to cancel federal health care reforms, taking issue with costs and the requirement that most people purchase cover-age.

Nonetheless, this influx of federal dollars is expected to help more than 17,000 Utahns sign up for and become famil-iar with their new health cover-age, and to create 24 new jobs.

Attack Dogs Plague PanguitchIt would make a great Alfred Hitchcock plot; and it may

even be comical if the pests were named Chip and Dale; but for the small mountain town of Panguitch, Utah this is a reality show, and there is absolutely nothing funny about it. During one recent week the Utah Prairie Dog, a protected species by the US Fish and Wildlife Service has launched an all-out attack to assert federal supremacy over private lands. Prairie Dogs have long plagued farmers and ranchers in the area, but recently they con-centrated their assaults on homes, cultural sites, schools and the citizens of Panguitch, while the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service sat around and did nothing.

The prairie dogs, long known for their susceptibility to bu-bonic plague, initiated their attack by invading a newly planted lawn established as a playground for two small children. Fear-ing federal reprisals that carry fines up to $100,000 and lengthy prison terms, the parents were not disposed to intimidate or ha-rass the pests and were strictly prohibited from removing them. The rodents then proceeded to stop a federally and state-funded major reconstruction project in the city park by setting up shop within 100 feet of the project, albeit on the opposite side of a major US Highway.

Emboldened by their success, the prairie dogs then attempt-ed to exercise federal supremacy in two separate instances in pri-vate yards occupied by domestic pets. The prairie dogs initiated hand-to-hand assaults while traumatized children watched from windows and patios. The domesticated animals defend their turf, but not without a few scrapes and scars. The prairie dogs then turned their efforts on establishing clandestine operations in a garage located in the center of the town. Homeowners were able to remove the animals which may subject them to federal prosecution. Most recently two prairie dogs were chased off the local school playground while the rodents were attempting to create a series of underground tunnels.

Local officials, the State Wildlife Agency, the Governor’s Office, State Legislators and Congressional Staff have all been working tirelessly to resolve these issues. For its part, the Fish and Wildlife Service – an agency charged with conserving and recovering the species in the wild - has failed miserably. For the past 10 years at a cost of millions of dollars prairie dog popula-tions on federally protected lands in one recovery unit have de-clined 60%. At the same time 70% of the range wide prairie dog population has migrated to limited private lands where they can-not be counted toward recovery goals. For the residents of Pan-guitch, who live in a County comprised of 93% federal land and only 3% private land, these statistics are totally unacceptable.

On July 8, 2013, in accordance with rules promulgated by the federal government, the Garfield County Commission issued a formal request to the Fish and Wildlife Service for immediate authorization to control prairie dogs that create health or safety hazards and that disturb human cultural sites. At the very mo-ment the request was being emailed, a prairie dog was captured inside the County Courthouse by custodial staff. A response to the request is still pending.

TRAFFIC IMPACTS 2013 Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah and southern Utah

Stage Two presented by Utah office of Tourism - Wednesday, August 7 Start – panguitch, main Street, 10 a.m. Finish – Torrey, Hwy 24 at Center Street, 3:30-3:50 p.m. A portion of the 2013 Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah, August 6-11, will pass through or near eight national forests, monuments and parks this year, with the first three stages set in southern Utah for the first time. Listed here are probable impact areas and timelines for motorists and tour groups who will be using the same roadways as the Tour of Utah in southern Utah. The Tour will pass through portions of Bryce Canyon National Park and cross through Grand Staircase-

Escalante National Monument, the nation’s largest national monument. The 131-mile road race will also pass Kodachrome Basin State Park, Escalante Petrified Forest State Park, Anasazi State Park Museum, and Capitol Reef National Park.

In Panguitch, the race will use Hwy 89 for the overall start and the road closure will begin 9:45 a.m. The Tour will use a long portion of Highway 12 for Stage 2. The complete closure will begin at 10 a.m. at the

intersection of Hwy 12 and Hwy 89. The Tour will travel west to east on SR 12 from US 89 to Torrey. Traffic heading east may experience very

lengthy delays. Traffic will not be allowed to pass the race, and will be required to travel at the same pace as the race. Traffic heading west may experience delays between 15-45 minutes.

Visitors going to Capitol Reef Visitor Center may experience delays in Torrey between 3:15 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. Special Notice for Motorists No passing is permitted by any motor vehicle along the road being used by the professional cyclists or

authorized race caravan vehicles. Traffic is allowed to follow behind the race, but only at race speed. If you are traveling toward the race (in the opposite direction of the race), the Utah Highway Patrol will

control all traffic at certain intersections, treating this as a rolling road closure. Without alternate routes, please be patient as some substantial delays may occur. A portion of the race routes for the Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah pro cycling race will be located partially on

the Dixie National Forest and Uintah–Wasatch–Cache National Forest. For more information and route maps, visit www.tourofutah.com

Helping Our Kids Meet State reading Goals

In March of 2010, the Utah State Legislature enacted a law that requires school districts in the State of Utah to provide notice by the middle of the year to parents of students in first, second or third grade who are reading below grade level. I would like to share with the public the reading gain scores and the State reading goals for the students in Garfield County School District. The scores are reported to the Utah State Office of Education to show accountability for the funding from the State in reading. As you can see from the table below, the teachers, parents and students have done an amazing job in improving the number of students who are reading on grade level by the end of the 3rd grade. Did you know that learning to read is a challenge to almost 40% of kids? What can we do as parents to help students become more proficient in reading?

• Have your child read aloud to you every night.• Choose a quiet place, free from distractions, for your child to read.• When your child reads aloud to you and makes mistakes, point out words missed and help

them to read the words correctly.• Ask your child to explain what happens in a story.• Ask your child why a character acted in a certain way and to support the answer with

information from the story.• Before getting to the end of a story, ask your child what will happen next and why.Most importantly take time this summer to incorporate reading sometime during the day to

keep students minds sharp and focused on reading improvement.—Superintendent Ben Dalton

The Governor is seek-ing innovative solutions to our water needs that do not break the bank or dry up our streams-ideas that secure the long-term future of Utah. To assist him in this task, he has brought to-gether a panel of water experts who have been asked to gather public input about the use, de-velopment and conservation of water in our state.

“To succeed, this must be a collaborative process-where everyone has a voice and where all ideas are welcome,” said Alan Matheson, the Gover-nor’s Environmental Advisor. “We need the general public’s help because at the end of the

SALT LAKE CITY - What’s on your Utah bucket list? Skiing through waist-deep powder? Running the rapids of Cataract Canyon? KUED teams with the Salt Lake Tribune for an evening of high adventure that will give you plenty of ideas to add to your list.

The Utah Bucket List, premiering Thursday, August 1 at 7:00 p.m. and repeating Thursday, August 8 at 8:30 p.m. and again Sunday, August 11 at 4:00 p.m., is hosted by Tribune outdoor writer Brett Prettyman and produced by KUED’s Nancy Green. The film highlights a dozen ad-ventures, some of them icon-ic, some more extreme and some that anyone can easily do. “Narrowing down the list was the hardest thing to do,” says Prettyman, who probably knows better than anyone else the abundance of possibilities the state has to offer.

KUeD, Salt Lake Tribune Team Up for The Utah Bucket List

Spanning all four sea-sons, they include many family-friendly activities, such as camping and explor-ing Devil’s Garden in Arches National Park. The film also features white-water floating in Cataract Canyon, mountain biking on the White Rim Trail in Canyonlands National Park and canyoneering in Escalan-te. One segment takes Pretty-man and the crew to the Utah Olympic Park outside Park City for freestyle jumping into the unique splash pool. A re-turn in the winter has him rac-ing down the bobsled run.

If your idea of fun in-volves less adrenaline, there are low-impact activities, like bald eagle watching, attend-ing a wildflower festival, or enjoying a sunset sail on the Great Salt Lake. For wildlife enthusiasts, there’s the Bison Roundup on Antelope Island or world-class fly fishing along the Green River.

Leading up to the broad-cast premiere, the Tribune has been running a 12-part series written by Prettyman that maps out each adventure in detail. The stories and a gal-lery of photos are on kued.org/bucket-list. Viewers can also submit their own lists.

“We know we only touched on about one one-hundredth of what you can do in Utah,” says Green “This isn’t the definitive Utah buck-et list. We want people to tell us what they think should be on it, because hopefully we’ll be sharing more adventures in the future.”

The Utah Bucket List is funded by the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Founda-tion, the Lawrence T. Dee and Janet T. Dee Foundation, Utah Office of Tourism - VisitUtah.com, and Camp Chef.

water HoleA motorist, after being

bogged down in a muddy road, paid a passing farmer five dollars to pull the car out with his tractor. After he was back on dry ground, he said to the farmer, “At those prices, I should think you would be pulling people out of the mud day and night.”

“Can’t,” replied the farm-er. “At night I haul water for the hole.”

white SuitWhen the pastor of a conservative small-town congregation

received the gift of a white suit from a friend, he was a bit reluc-tant to wear it. But since it was so attractive and a perfect fit, he decided to put it on one warm Sunday.

As he was leaving for church, he asked his wife, “What do you think of this suit?”

After giving him the once-over, she replied, “It depends. Are you going to preach or sell chicken?”

SurveyA marketing type managed

to corner me at the mall and was asking a series of survey ques-tions:

“Which shaving cream do you use?”

“Baba’s.” The interviewer dutifully recorded my answer and proceeded with the next question.

“Which aftershave do you use?”

“Baba’s.”“Which deodorant do you

use?”“Baba’s.”“Which toothpaste do you

use?”“Baba’s.”“Which shampoo do you

use?”“Baba’s.”“Which soap do you use?”“Baba’s.”“Thank you. I have one fi-

nal question: tell me please, What is Baba’s? Is it a foreign com-pany?”

“No, Baba is my room-mate.”

Term PaperOne of my classmates

When he finally turned his paper in, past the deadline, it was diffuse and longer than the number of pages assigned.

“Why did you write such a long paper?” asked the profes-sor.

“Because I didn’t have enough time to write a short one,” the student replied.

Shirt Size?While I was working in

the men’s section of a depart-ment store, a woman asked me to help her choose a white dress shirt for her husband.

When I asked about his size, the woman looked stumped at first, then her face brightened. She held up her hands, forming a circle with her forefingers and thumbs.

“I don’t know his size,” she said, “but my hands fit per-fectly around his neck.”

The Aging Process July 8, 2013

At some point past, I assume, you were born, to a mixture of joy and grief.And ever since, well, time has flown by. Time, the ultimate thief.Time has stolen away our youth. Time has made us much older.Time makes us wish we had been less bold, or maybe we should have been bolder.Whatever, we did what we chose to do, or maybe what we were forced to.Or maybe we lived our fantasies. There were some of those, of course, too.But in the end we’re old women and men, the age-ravaged sum of our parts.The dreams are gone but the years roll on, and we’re just a bunch of old farts.We wasted our lives on presidents, and money and what it might bring.We chased the girls, and used up the world, pursuing the ultimate bling.Bur phooey on sex and politics and whatever that young-person crap was.The mainest thing that’s on our minds now is how this afternoon’s nap was.

You judge. You are judged. Why and why?

Mother Teresa, likely one of the greatest servant lead-ers of all time, said, “If you judge people, you have no time to love them” (ThinkEx-ist, 2013). Think about that. When you find faults, how can you love? You cannot.

“Judgments prevent us from seeing the good that lies beyond appearance” said psychologist and moti-vational speaker and writer, Dr. Wayne Dyer. (ThinkEx-ist, 2013). Similarly, church leader, Richard G. Scott said, “Recognize the good in oth-ers, not their stains” (LDS.org, 2013). It amazes me when I find good in others I find an overabundance. It is like never ending. It makes me feel good. It makes oth-ers feel good, too, especially when I tell them what I find. Conversely, when I find stains in others. It makes me feel bad. It makes others feel bad.

People can sense when you do not like them.

It is difficult to find good and judge at the same time. You know, where you say, “Yeah, she may have taken first, but she caused her fam-ily a lot of trouble.” To which the receiver may reply, “What trouble?” And the sender ea-gerly says, “Oh, let me tell you…” See, it just goes down-hill from there and that “taken first” good news goes by the wayside.

Psychologist Carl Jung said, “Everything that irritates us about others can lead to an understanding of ourselves” (ThinkExisit, 2013). In fact, the faults you find and criti-cize in others may be the very ones’ you dislike in yourself. For example, you gossip, but do not consider yourself a gossiper. Yet, you are able to notice when Susan does it so you spread gossip about her spreading gossip. Then you justify that the only reason you

are doing it is because Susan did it first.

It may be tempting to judge another especially when you are being judged. Yet, Christ, in Matthew 5:44 says, “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and per-secute you” (LDS.org, 2013).

There is nothing more to say.

Do not judge.No matter what.Even if you are judged,

do not reciprocate.Find good.No matter what.Always and forever.Cynthia Kimball is a

Many people use trusts to achieve specific estate plan-ning goals. Such trusts are designed to save money by avoiding probate fees and de-lays, and by deferring or re-ducing estate taxes. For exam-ple, a revocable “living trust” can avoid the cost and delays associated with probate. A will or living trust may also cre-ate a separate trust when one spouse dies, in order to shield up a significant portion of the estate from later estate taxes. Such trusts are designed to save money by avoiding pro-bate fees and delays, and by deferring or reducing estate taxes.

But if there are disputes about the management of the trust, litigation can be very ex-pensive. Trust litigation may also take longer than probate to uncover mismanagement or theft, thus reducing the odds of recovering lost property.

Normally, a trustee (the person administering the trust) is not subject to court super-vision. However, a trustee or beneficiary may initiate a court action. The court can compel the trustee to account for the trust’s assets and income, or to change investment and dis-tribution policies to conform to the trust’s instructions. In some circumstances, a court can replace the trustee, dis-solve the trust, or make other changes to resolve problems.

Trust disputes can have different causes. A trustee may decide to pay himself a high fee, or may distribute trust property in a way that conflicts with the trust instructions. A beneficiary may want more money distributed, or may object that the trustee’s invest-

ment strategy is too risky (or too conservative). Or a trustee may conceal information, so beneficiaries worry about pos-sible mismanagement or theft.

There are many problems that can arise from trust ad-ministration. Adult children are often concerned about the management of a “living trust” by a step-parent after a parent has died. The children are concerned, yet they are uncomfortable insisting that the step-parent provide infor-mation, especially if the step-parent is entitled to all income during his or her lifetime. The result may be resentment, alienation, and a loss of fam-ily harmony.

Many problems can be avoided by making sure all family members understand

their rights and receive ad-equate information about the trust’s management. Ideally, information should be shared before either parent dies.

If the beneficiaries are well-informed, they can more easily express any concerns about the trust’s administration to the trustee, who can then act quickly to address those concerns properly without the need for lawsuits.

There are ways to set up trusts and trustee provisions to minimize future problems and conflicts, and to prevent fam-ily disharmony. Much can be done to set up estate plans to ensure that trust assets will be managed wisely and fairly. An experienced estate planning at-torney can suggest innovative solutions to seemingly insur-mountable problems.

CAPITOL REEF N.P. - Fruit season is upon us. Cher-ries, apricots, peaches, plums, apples, and pears are typically available for harvest each summer at Capitol Reef Na-tional Park.

The prediction for the 2013 fruit season shows that both flowering and harvesting are behind schedule and lower crop yields are to be expected due to colder 2012 winter tem-peratures and a late season frost.

Up-to-date fruit harvest information and pricing is re-corded on the Capitol Reef Fruit Hotline as fruit ripens

and specific harvest start dates are determined. The fruit hot-line may be reached by calling (435) 425-3791. Once the park number connects, press one for general information and, at the voice prompt for the or-chard hotline, press five. Fruit harvest information is also posted on the parks Facebook page and Twitter feed. Infor-mation on the Fruita Orchards is available on the parks web-site at www.nps.gov/care un-der “plan your visit.”

Climbing fruit trees is not permitted in the Park. The Na-tional Park Service provides special fruit picking ladders.

Use care when picking fruit and carefully read and follow posted instructions on fruit picking and ladder use.

Capitol Reef National Park uses the receipts from fruit sales to defray the cost of maintaining the orchards. The historic Fruita orchards are among the largest in the Na-tional Park System and were established beginning in the 1880s by pioneer residents of Fruita.

SALT LAKE CITY - Legislators will consider repealing a law passed in the recent legislative session that took a poke at federal land managers’ law enforcement authority but has resulted in a lawsuit by the U.S. Justice De-partment against the state.

Gov. Gary Herbert added the proposed repeal to the is-sues to be addressed when the Legislature meets in a special session Wednesday, along with a settlement agreement in a 16-year-old land sale dis-pute and another minor tweak to the authority of a special House committee investigat-ing Utah Attorney General John Swallow.

Herbert issued the initial special session call Friday, with an agenda focused on en-suring that a House investiga-tive committee created to look into alleged malfeasance by Swallow has subpoena author-ity and the ability to have wit-nesses testify under oath.

The Legislature also plans to create exemptions to the Utah open-meetings and records laws, allowing the panel to conduct portions of the investigation behind closed doors if a majority of the committee deems it neces-sary to prevent harm to ongo-ing criminal investigations.

Herbert added one final change for the House commit-tee: a provision that grants au-thority to practice law in Utah to any attorney from outside the state hired to work on the Swallow probe.

Repeal of the bill limit-ing federal law enforcement arose late and was added to the agenda at the request of Rep. Mike Noel, R-Kanab, who sponsored HB155 and now wants it revoked, said Ally Isom, Herbert’s deputy chief of staff.

“He apparently, given the controversy, wants to wipe the slate clean and start again working with the stakehold-ers,” Isom said. She said Her-bert supports the discussion.

Noel would not comment on his plans for the bill.

“Basically, on advice of counsel, I’m not going to com-ment,” he said, “because we have pending litigation on that bill right now.”

HB155 would have made it illegal for Bureau of Land Management rangers and For-est Service protection officers

Utah Legislators to Consider repealing Fed Law enforcement Bill

and other Forest Service em-ployees to enforce state laws.

Those employees, if not certified by the state, could be charged with a class B misde-meanor for impersonating a police officer, punishable by a $1,000 fine and six months in jail.

However, before the law took effect, the Justice De-partment sued the state, and a judge blocked its enactment, arguing that Congress gave the BLM and Forest Service the authority to police federal lands and the state cannot take that away.

On June 28, U.S. District Judge David Nuffer extended the initial restraining order, saying the bill’s enactment would do “irreparable harm to the constitutional order.”

At the time, Mark Ward, representing the Utah Sheriffs’ Association, argued HB155 sought to curtail abuses where federal officers try to enforce state laws. Noel has cited tick-eting individuals for not have a fishing license as an exam-ple of the types of abuses he sought to stop.

Lawmakers also are ex-pected to pass legislation to settle a lawsuit stemming from a botched 1997 land sale. The State Armory Board bought land in Tooele County from Deep Creek Ranch in ex-change for credits for the pur-chase of $850,000 in state and federal property.

But the federal General Services Administration did not agree to giving the compa-ny credit for federal property. The Armory Board argued that voided the contract, but Deep Creek sued, seeking damages from the state and, in 2008, the Utah Supreme Court remand-ed the case to a trial judge, who ruled in Deep Creek’s favor.

Lawmakers are expected to agree to pay Deep Creek about $3 million to resolve the litigation — an amount that reflects some attorney fees, in-terest and a multiplier that in-cludes any profit Deep Creek could have received for selling the surplus property.

“Technically, we’re say-ing we dispute all the claims but we’re willing to pay you [this] amount of dollars to re-lease any claims,” said Assis-tant Attorney General Thom Roberts.

CANNONVILLE - Mike and Kathy “Cookie” Riffel of Cannonville were married July 1, 1963. They celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary this year surrounded by family and friends from all over the United States. Mike and Cookie met in Hawthorne, Nevada while Mike was stationed there in the Ma-rine Corps. After they married, Mike scooped Cookie away and took her to his hometown of Martinsville, Indiana, where they lived for over 40 years. They moved to Cannonville in 1998. Their children, Linda of Jasonville, Indiana; Kathy (Reggie) of Leland, North Carolina; Mike Jr (Andrea) of Mooresville, In-diana; Marie (Lance) of Henrieville, Utah; and Troy, deceased, have given them 71 descendents: 39 grandchildren and 32 great-grandchildren. Plus, they cared for 42 Foster children over their years in Indiana.

Torrey Town’s identity has been stolen and Torrey folks are as mad as can be about it, so much so that there has been talk that somebody might actually sign up to run for a seat on the Town Council in an attempt to find out who the scoundrel thief is.

A statewide investigation is under way complete with finger, footprint, and tire track analysis. Law enforcement agencies as far a way as Hen-riville are on high alert and will be pulling out all the stops to find, and throw in the slammer the individual or responsible parties that recently brazenly made away with the green Tor-rey sign on highway 24 east of town.

Much to the dismay of lo-cal businesses the new Wayne County information center at the junction of highways 12 and 24 have reported an in-crease in confused travelers (and some locals) searching for directional signs to Torrey.

A preliminary tire track study signifies that there are three different brands of tires on the suspect vehicle, a strong indication that suggests the of-fender is most likely local, too cheap to cough up the cash for new tires, has a foot fetish and a peculiar affection for the color pink.

Anyone that may have seen any unusual activity-taking place, i.e. somebody tall or persons with a ladder, head light, socket wrenches or a leather man in the vicin-ity of mile marker 69 in Torrey Town please call local authori-ties, your anonymity will be assured and may be rewarded.

If the guilty party sud-denly finds him/her self sober and wanting to confess to the theft or just wants to return the stolen property as a sign of re-morse please drop it off in the vicinity of the Torrey Town Hall on 100 North between Center and 100 East.

By now it should be no se-cret that the Tour of Utah stage race http://www.tourofutah.com/ will be racing its way to Wayne County on August 7th. Volunteers, sponsors, support-ers, advertisers, vendors and race fans are again cordially

What is missing?

Wasn’t that rain great on last Thursday, we made the news with our .7’’ in less than an hour. We are so dry that I didn’t see many puddles. This is the second Thursday in a row that we have gotten rain; it is our water turn so I didn’t have to move my hoses.

Yesterday was the Bryce Canyon to Cannonville, half Marathon and it was estimated that there was between 14 and 15 hundred runners. At race start, our own Bruce Fullmer (who was recently inducted into the Utah Tourism Hall of Fame) shot off the starting gun, and like hunting season he didn’t hit anything. Mitch Miller from Panguitch com-pleted the course in 1 hour and 29 minutes, Doctor Miller is getting to be quite the runner,he was in the front running pack. Melaney Draper also did well coming in under two hours. I picked up a group at Zions Bank at 4:30 am. and there were 54 of these happy camp-ers, waiting for me and only 2 more came after that. Runs like these give a runner a way to have fun with all the time they put in getting in shape jog-ging. Many of these runners I picked up, stayed in motels in Panguitch, as Ruby’s was sold out. This was the race’s 10th year and still going strong,the run and things ran real smooth, coming down the dump at that time of the morning was mag-nificent, it is the north end of Bryce Canyon and this makes for one beautiful run.

Last Saturday the Pan-guitch Lake Fire Department had an open house and Fire Chief Dave Etter said it was a great success. The large crowd was treated to free hamburg-ers and hot dogs and a tour

invited to participate and at-tend this monumental event in downtown Torrey. The Wayne County Travel Council under the direction of Nycole Durfey and President Forest Simms, with the support of the Wayne County Commissioners have whole heartedly sanctioned this cycling event in an all out attempt to showcase Wayne County on the World-Wide Stage as a rural cultural, recre-ational and scenic Utah desti-nation point.

For some enthusiasts and Sunday couch potatoes cycling is quickly becoming the new NASCAR with all the thrills and spills but without all the pit stops.

Boulder Rocks!If there is any other place

that the ripples in a pond ex-tend farther out than they do in Boulder I don’t know where it would be. Going to Boulder is like going home, no mat-ter where you are from. Jan Stringham says Boulder “is like a family reunion”, a place that if you didn’t know some-body in the crowd when you showed up, certainly by the time you left you were best of friends and if you have been to Boulder more than twice you are considered family.

The 2013 Boulder Heri-tage Festival “Boulder Rocks, kicked off its 9th season on Fri-day at the Anazai State park, a reunion of sorts where cultures collide and meld into one for a weekend. Festival organiz-ers Cheryl and Steve Cox, Ca-mille Hall and Raymond King Shurtz and a list of volunteers and supporters longer than the Burr Trail helped to put togeth-er a line up of musicians, artist and presenters that would rival any festival east of the Colo-rado River.

An annual festival favorite

is the “Mail Delivery”, when Breck Crystal rides the Old Boulder Mail Trail and deliv-ers letters to friends and family at the festival. As history has it Boulder was the last town in the United States to receive mail by horseback and the rough and rocky trip through Death Hollow adequately describes the treacherous life-threatening ride and gave new meaning to the name “Mailman”.

Another Boulder Heritage Festival tradition is the show-ing of saddles, saddles that have seen more cattle drives than there are episodes of Wag-on Train. Well-worn leather seats and saddle horns highly polished from riding and rop-ing cows in the desert and stur-dy stirrups that have worn out many a cowboy’s boot.

The Boulder Heritage fes-tival yearly recognizes Boulder folks that have had a huge hu-man impact on the land and its people, hardy individuals like Faye Jepson. In a tribute to his mother Fred made it evident that Faye loved Boulder more than anything and she showed it by being loving and caring to everyone that she met.

The Dutch oven dinner at

the Boulder Heritage Festival is always a huge hit, feeding practically all the festival goers a fine meal of pulled pork and beef so tender that no knife was needed, sliced taters and onions with strips of bacon strategical-ly layered in place to tantalize the tongue, and the peach cob-bler, oh the melt in your mouth peach cobbler cooked to per-fection by some of Boulder’s best Dutch Oven cooks.

Some of this years per-formers were Jan Stringham and Lynsey Shelar from Torrey, Mary Kaye from Manti, The Fiery Furnace Marching Band, a crowd favorite from Moab, Garret Shakespear, The Salt Gulch All Stars, the vivacious Gigi Love and the Mystics, the all to infrequent Camille and Doug Hall singing an all original set, and to finish out a fine weekend of music and fun Patrick Briggs and his Band of Misfits.

If you have never attended the Boulder Heritage Festival it would be well worth your time to mark your calendar for next year. For more information about the Boulder Heritage Festival visit boulderheritage.org on the World Wide Web.

of the station, when everyone left, there were only 3 hot dogs left. Dave spends most of his free time working on the sta-tion and most of their volun-teer’s fire fighters belong to the Search and Rescue team. However they could use some more fire fighters in the winter, I believe there are only two that stick it out for the winter.

Tonight and Friday the 18th and 19th the Fiddlers will be here to entertain the town. These are two fun filled eve-nings and they are free, do-nation are expected though. These musicians perform here and then go over to Cannon-ville for a Saturday show. This is a get together for them and they have a fun time, renew-ing old friendships and mak-ing some great music together. Friday night will be the Annual Taste of Panguitch and it again will be held behind Zions Bk. and the cost is $5.00 for some real good food.

THE PANGUITCH LI-ONS CLUB WILL HAVE THEIR ANNUAL FIDDLERS BREAKFAST ON Saturday AT ZIONS BANK. This will be the Lions’ last breakfast for the summer, so come on out and load up on all you can eat great breakfast food. The Breakfast starts at 7:30 and runs till 10:00.

Can you believe it, next Wednesday is the 24th. So get out your old cars, tractors, 4 wheelers, horses, fire engines and ambulances and candy and take part. There will be floats and marching groups and is al-ways a big parade. The parade starts at 10:00 and will start at the City Hall, going back to the high school. The Panguitch 2nd Ward Scouts will be host-ing the annual 24th breakfast,

this year, so come early have breakfast and bring a chair and a plastic bag, for all of the goodies. The Panguitch Fire Fighters are back with their deep pit barbecue, after a two year lay off due to the closing of the Fair building. This is also a great place to visit with all of your friends that have come for the Home Coming.

Sharron Etter called to say the there will be a Kids Day Bible Camp that will be hosted by the Valley Chris-tian Fellowship (at 535 E 50 N). There will be a day full of fun, games, food, prizes, crafts, music and Bible lessons! This will be held on July 27th, 8:30 to 4:00. and July 28th 10:00 am to 12:30. It is for ages 4-12 and is free to all who attend. Shar-ron would like to thank those who donated prize to this pro-gram: The Shed, Cowboy Col-lectibles, Red Canyon Indian Store, H&R True Value, Joe’s Main Street Market, Little L’s Bakery, Arby’s, Gem Theater, Henry’s Drive In, Radio Shack, Wal-Mart, DQ, Chili’s, and Applebee’s. The Church also donates to the Providence Or-phanage in Navajo Mexico and also takes shoes to the kids in Mexico.

This is the latest scoop on the US-89 Panguitch Main Street asphalt replacement proj-ect. Panguitch Main Street will have two inches of old pave-ment removed and replaced with new pavement. One lane will remain open in each direc-tion through the construction zone, which extends from ap-proximately 650 East to the Rodeo grounds. The existing curbs and gutters will remain in place, except where pedestrian ramps will be installed. Work is expected to start at the north

end of the project and progress southward. Intersections along Main Street will be closed to cross traffic as construction works through the intersec-tions. Parking will not be avail-able in front of business during construction, the contractor will maintain access.

Work Schedule: Aug. 12 to Oct 12, 2013. Hours from 7am to 7 pm and some work may run till 10 pm. What to expect: noise, delays, and vi-bration. If all goes well, this project will have a much short-er working time than listed. If you have any questions call (690-1016) Gary Owens is the UDOT representative if you have questions. This project will go a long way in quieting the empty coal trucks as they go through town.

Congratulations to Trudy Owens, she is the newest City Councilperson, taking Laura Mosdell’s place on the Council, until Jan. 1. Since the City did not list the candidates for the up and coming City Council elec-tion on Nov. 5, I am listing it here. Eric Houston is running unopposed for Mayor. For the two year term: Lloyd Brinker-hoff, Harshad Desai, Connie Orton and Trudy Owens. For the 4 year term: Mack Oetting, Tim Smith and Kim Soper. It is my understanding that this election will be done by mail.

The DUP (Daughters of the Utah Pioneers) Museum is opened on Friday and Saturday from 5-8 pm during the sum-mer season.

Art Cooper is still giving Panguitch City tours. Motel owners this is an interesting ac-tivity for your guests.

Education without using it, is like no education at all.

Sandy Johnson says, “One of my highlights this past week was taking FOUR granddaughters to the fabric store and letting them each pick out their own fabric to make their travel bag. Fun experience!! It was a chal-lenge later when it was sewing time and they were all saying “Gram”, “Gram”, “Gram”, “Gram” as they needed help with this project. But it was definitely worth it when they enjoyed their finished prod-uct! Love our grandchildren!”

Deciding it wasn’t hot enough in Bryce Valley area the senior van traveled to St. George with eight hardy souls aboard. They spent the day shopping, dining out and attending the St. George Temple.

It was a good trip but it sure was nice to get back into temperatures that were reasonable. The next tentatively scheduled trip is on July 27th. If you are interested in going be sure to call Doug or Vicki Ahlstrom at 679-8666 or you can also con-

tact Donna Chynoweth at the same number. They would like to schedule a fruit picking trip to Capital Reef, going to the County Fairs around our end of the state and any other desired activities you would like to try. Let us know.

Carl and Kay Shakespear took their Webelos Scouts out on a cooking adventure as they worked on their Outdoor and Fitness badges.

Leda Mae Foster called last week to tell me about her new great grandson, born to Clayton and Angela Carter. I already knew about the baby but was glad she called be-cause we had the best visit we have had in a long time. She misses working in the store and not being able to visit with all you folks who used to stop in there. Anyway, they were all excited about the new baby since it is Clayton’s and Angela’s first one.

He weighed in at 6 lbs and 7 oz. He is Neil and Su-san Foster’s first grandchild and, besides Leda Mae and Al, other grandparents are Joy Carter and Bart Carter and great grandfather is DeLane Griffin. Congratulations to all!

Renon and Gene Reed and Dianne Pierce, Richfield, visited in town. They had their trailer parked in Boulder and were all set to attend the Boul-der Heritage Festival on the weekend.

Preston and Kristen Sne-degar and two daughters, Hailey and Hannah, Fremont, stopped in to visit their grand-parents, Arnold and Deon Al-vey on Saturday. They had just come from the Bryce Canyon Half Marathon where Kristen was a participant. She is look-ing forward to running in the Escalante Marathon this Fall.

Are all of you ready to celebrate the 24th of July this weekend? It IS on the 20th you know. Some wonder about it when the 24th falls in the middle of the week, but in that case it is always celebrated on the Saturday before.

Mike Griffin and the Band, “Most Wanted,” will be playing for the dance here on

Friday night, the19th of July.Louise Liston celebrated

her 80th birthday July 6th. Her family had a little get together for her and enjoyed being to-gether. Congratulations, Lou-ise, and welcome to the ranks of the 80 and plus group. There are getting to be quite a few of us! But isn’t it funny how we still feel the same inside, even when we look in the mirror and think that surely can’t be us?

The Griffin sisters, Brooke Palmer, Henrieville; Katie Godsey, Escalante, and Jaimie Lyman, Loa, all went on a shopping trip together on the weekend. I guess all the kids needed a new outfit for the 24th of July celebra-tion. That used to be one of the biggest times of the year for us because we knew we were going to get a new outfit, pref-erably red, white and blue, for the 24th.

The Little league Base-ball committee is selling raf-fle tickets for a Camp Chef “Big Gas Grill” with 3 burn-ers and a grill box and recipe book. Also, a pair of Vortex Viper HD 10x42 binoculars (a $600.00 value). They are working on getting a couple more items to add to the raffle. Benefits will go toward more baseball gear next year as well as to more field improvements. The drawing will occur at the rodeo on July 20th. Call Jason or Dayna Porter at 826-4074 for more information.

Aubrey Woolsey, Beaver, recently traveled to Washing-ton, D. C. where she competed in the national History Fair. Her well prepared project en-titled, “Escalante National Monument, A Turning Point in Presidential Power,” captured

the interest of Fair attendees and judges alike. She captured wins in local, regional and state levels qualifying her to compete nationally. At the na-tional level Aubrey survived three rounds of competition and received very favorable scores by the judges. Howev-er, she did not garner a win at the national level.

While in Washington D.C. Aubrey was able to tour the National Capitol Building and meet with Senator Orrin G. Hatch, Rob Bishop, Mike Lee and other congressional leaders. Aubrey is the daugh-ter of Glen and Jill Woolsey of Beaver, the granddaughter of Warren and Kathleen Wool-sey, Cedar City, and the great granddaughter of Thelma Marsh, Escalante. Congratula-tions to her!

Jim and Jolyn Spen-cer, Orem, were in town last week but said they would not be able to come back for the 24th of July celebration. Jolyn said this would only be the third time in her life when she wouldn’t be able to be “home” for the celebration.

Jean Griffin, Provo, is here with her son, Gary, and they are making preparations for the whole Griffin family who will be here this weekend.

I noticed Marsha Nisson was at church with her parents, Marc and Susanne McLemore, on Sunday. She has two cute little kids, a boy and a girl, and they live in St. George.

Sherree Rechsteiner tells me that The Arnold Button family, Leah, Lynn, Wayne, Taylor and families were in charge of the Coleman Family (Parley and Esther) Reunion this year. It was held in Kanab

and eight of the siblings were there: LaFay (Jeanette), Leah, Frank (Kathryn), Barbara (Leo Gardner), Gay, Don (Lil-lian), Dan, and Jerry (Rosalie). There was a total of 90 family members in attendance.

Melanie Barney just re-turned from Maine, where she has been visiting with her daughter, Krystal and family. She was there for the birth of a new grandchild. Krystal and her husband now have 3 sons and 1 daughter. Congratula-tions to all!

Condolences to Melanie Torgersen and family whose father and grandfather passed away last week after a long battle with cancer.

Condolences, also, to the family and friends of Richard Tatman who passed away at his home in Myton, Utah on July 10, 2013. Richard was married to the former Chris-tine Woolsey, daughter of the late Haynes and Iola Woolsey, Escalante. They lived in Es-calante for a while after they were married. He and Chris-tine are the parents of 5 chil-dren: Ricky, Jonde, Jennifer, Jesse and RL. 12 grandchil-dren and 5 great grandchildren. Eric Woolsey is a brother of Christine.

Okay, Folks, right after the 24th I need to hear from all of you about the company you had, etc. It’s no fun to write any more when I have to dig for every bit of news I get. So, hop to it or you may find that you are the new Escalante cor-respondent one of these first days. They say a change is as good as a rest!

For safety in home canning, the dial gauge on your pressure canner lid should be checked

each year for accuracy. (The dial gauge resembles a clock face with only one hand and has a moveable needle.)

Free testing will be available at the following times and locations: Tues, July 30 Heritage Center Tropic, 10:00 – 10:30 p.m. Cannonville Town Building, 10:30 – 10:50 a.m. Old School House, Henrieville, 11:00 – 12:00 noon Escalante Sr. Center, 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. Boulder Community Center, 2:30 – 3:00 p.m.This service is also available throughout the year upon request by appointment at the Utah

WASHINGTON, D.C. - USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) Administrator Juan M. Garcia on July 11 announced an extension of the FSA acre-age reporting deadline. Farm-ers and landowners have an additional 18 calendar days to submit their annual report of acreage to their local FSA county office with the deadline extended from Monday, July 15, 2013, to Friday, Aug. 2, 2013. Only the FSA reporting deadline has been extended. The acreage reporting require-ment for crop insurance has not changed and remains July 15.

“We want to ensure our producers maintain their pro-gram benefits by filing their reports accurately and in a timely manner for all crops and land uses, including pre-vented and failed acreage,” said Administrator Garcia.

Accurate acreage reports are necessary to determine and maintain eligibility for various programs, such as the Direct and Counter-cyclical Program (DCP); the Average Crop Revenue Election Program (ACRE); the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP); and the Non-insured Crop Disaster Assistant Program (NAP).

Acreage reports for FSA are considered timely this year when filed at the county office by the new applicable final crop reporting deadline of Aug. 2, 2013. Producers should contact their county FSA office if they are uncer-tain about reporting deadlines.

While FSA is able to ex-tend its deadline, Risk Man-agement Agency (RMA) Ad-ministrator Brandon Willis emphasized today that RMA’s acreage reporting date remains July 15, 2013, for most spring planted crops in the country. Farmers are reminded to re-port any loss within 72 hours of discovery to their insurance company. Farmers must report prevented planting acreage to their insurance company, in

USDA extends Acreage reporting Deadline

to August 2 Risk Management Deadline Remains Unchanged

writing, within 15 calendar days after the final planting date. Losses must be report-ed and an insurance adjuster must view and release the crop before the crop is destroyed. Farmers are also reminded to contact their insurance agent if they have any questions about coverage, prevented planting, or for reporting and processing a claim.

Crop insurance is sold and delivered solely through private crop insurance agents. Contact a local crop insurance agent for more information about the program. A list of crop insurance agents is avail-able at all USDA Service Cen-ters or on the RMA web site at www.rma.usda.gov/tools/agents/.

Producers also should visit their USDA Service Cen-ter to complete acreage report-ing for FSA. For questions on this or any FSA program, producers should contact their FSA county office or seek in-formation online at www.fsa.usda.gov.

You can beat the heat, have fun and enjoy breathtak-ing scenery by grabbing your fishing pole and heading to Utah’s mountains.

Paul Birdsey, cold water sport fisheries coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Re-sources, says high-elevation waters in Utah provide some of the state’s best summer fishing. Those waters include lakes in the Uinta Mountains in northern Utah and the Boulder Mountains down south.

Birdsey says trout feed ac-tively when the water tempera-ture is between 55 and 65 de-grees. “Fifty five to 65 degrees is the ideal water temperature for trout,” he says. “And, for-tunately, that’s the temperature high-elevation lakes in Utah stay at throughout the summer. That’s the main reason they’re such great places to fish.”

While high-elevation wa-ters throughout Utah provide quality fishing in the summer, the Uinta Mountains and the Boulder Mountains should be at the top of your list of places to visit.

Uinta Mountains, Boul-der Mountains

A wide variety of oppor-tunities are waiting for you in the Uinta Mountains in north-ern and northeastern Utah. The opportunities range from lakes next to state Route 150 (the Mirror Lake Highway) that are stocked with fish weekly to backcountry lakes that you have to hike or ride a horse to reach.

“The lakes next to Route 150 are great places to take your family fishing,” Birdsey says.

The lakes on the Boulder Mountains in southern Utah are usually harder to reach. But the lakes on the Boulders also produce bigger fish. “Some of the lakes on the Boulder Moun-tains provide really, really nice fish,” Birdsey says.

Catching fishBirdsey provides the fol-

lowing tips to help you catch fish and have a great experience:

Fish early in the morning or later in the day

Birdsey says trout rely mostly on their eyes to find their prey. That fact directly affects when you should fish for them.

Great Fishing at High-elevation waters“Trout feed most actively

when they can see their prey clearly,” Birdsey says, “but too much sunlight exposes them to predators.”

For that reason, Birdsey says early morning and before the sun goes down at night are the perfect times to fish. “There’s enough light for the trout to see their prey but not enough light to make the trout highly visible to predators,” he says.

Flies, lures and baitsBirdsey says fly fishing

with a pattern that imitates a leech is one of the best ways to catch trout on the Uintas and the Boulders. Leech patterns in brown, black or olive drab usu-ally work best.

Paying attention to the type of insects that are hatch-ing, and then “matching the hatch” by using a fly that imi-tates the insects, is another ef-fective fly fishing technique.

If you’d rather fish with spinning gear, spinners are great lures to try. Birdsey rec-ommends a Mepps, Panther Martin or Blue Fox spinner in sizes #0 or #1.

Use spinners that are gold, black or silver in color.

Birdsey says brook, cut-throat and tiger trout are the trout you’ll usually find on the Uintas and the Boulders. “All of these species are more ag-gressive than the rainbow trout most anglers are used to fish-ing for,” he says. “A lure that flashes quickly through the water — like a spinner — is something brooks, cutthroats and tigers will go after.”

If you enjoy fishing with bait, Birdsey says nightcrawl-ers are usually the best bait

to use. You can cast the night-crawler, and then let it sink to the bottom of the water you’re fishing. Or, you can cast it and a bobber, and let the nightcrawler

dangle two or three feet under the bobber. “Whichever way you fish it,” he says, “don’t let the nightcrawler just sit there. Cast it out, and then slowly reel it in.”

No matter which tactic you use, if you haven’t gotten a bite within 20 minutes, change what you’re doing. Try a differ-ent fly, lure or bait, switch how quick or slow you’re reeling your bait or lure in, or move to a different location.

Be preparedBirdsey says you should

bring the following with you:An emergency kit that in-

cludes water, extra food and a survival blanket.

Bug spray.Sunscreen and a good hat.Also, remember that bears

live in these areas. Free bear safety information is available online.

“In July and August,” he says, “it almost always rains in the Uintas for an hour or two. The rain usually starts between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. The rain-storms don’t usually last long, but the rain can come down quick.”

Pack it in, pack it outSome of the high-eleva-

tion waters, especially those close to Route 150, attract a lot of anglers. Unfortunately, they also attract a lot of trash. Bird-sey encourages you to leave the area better than you found it.

“In addition to picking up your own trash, including fish-ing line and fishing tackle,” he says, “bring along an extra gar-

bage bag, and pick up the trash others have left behind.”

Free “Lakes of the High Uintas” booklets

A series of DWR booklets titled “Lakes of the High Uin-tas” provide excellent informa-tion about fishing the Uintas. The booklets are free. You can get them by:

Visiting the Department of Natural Resources online li-brary.

Once you arrive, click on the “Search catalog” icon.

Enter “Lakes of the High Uintas” in the Quick Search option.

Each booklet choice has a links icon. Click on the icon to read the booklet you want to read.

You can order the book-lets online or get them at the bookstore. The store is at 1594 W. North Temple in Salt Lake City.

More informationOther good sources of

information include maps of both the Uintas and the Boul-ders. Maps are available at the DNR Map & Bookstore and U.S. Forest Service offices. The best topographical maps to buy are 7.5 minute quad maps.

You can also learn more about fishing the Uintas and the Boulders, and stay current on fishing conditions and suc-cess, by reading the DWR’s weekly fishing reports.

Online fishing forums, such as bigfishtackle.com and utahwildlife.net, are also good places to get information. Sporting goods stores are also good places to contact.

Have you ever been turned down for a credit card and wondered why? Or got-ten approved for a car loan or mortgage but suddenly the interest rate and fees are much higher than in the initial quote?

There are many legiti-mate reasons why people are denied credit – insufficient in-come or a poor track record on past loan repayments, for ex-ample. But sometimes people are denied credit because of discriminatory lending prac-tices – which are not always easy to spot.

Fortunately numerous federal and state laws prohibit lenders from discriminating in any part of a credit transaction on the basis of many personal characteristics. What’s more, the Consumer Financial Pro-tection Bureau (CFPB) and other governmental agencies provide avenues for filing complaints if you feel you’ve been discriminated against. And, offending lenders face lawsuits and stiff penalties if found to be discriminatory.

Under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) it’s illegal for creditors to dis-criminate against credit ap-plicants based on their race, color, religion, national ori-gin, sex, marital status or age, because they receive income from a public assistance pro-

gram, or because they have in good faith exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act.

Based on those criteria, lenders cannot:• Refuse you credit if you

qualify for it;• Discourage you from ap-

plying for credit;• Offer you credit on terms

that are less favorable than those offered to someone with similar qualifications; or

• Close your account.Another federal law, the

Fair Housing Act (FHA), pro-hibits discrimination by direct providers of housing, such as landlords, real estate compa-nies, municipalities, banks or other lending institutions and homeowner’s insurance com-panies.

Warning signs. Red flags that may indicate credit dis-crimination include:• You are treated differently

in person than on the phone.• You are discouraged from

applying for credit.• You hear the lender make

negative comments about race, national origin, sex, or other protected groups.

• You are refused credit even though you qualify for it.

• You are offered credit with a higher rate than what you applied for, even though you qualify for the lower

rate.• You are denied credit, but

not given a reason why or told how to find out why.

• Your deal sounds too good to be true.

• You feel pushed or pres-sured to sign.

If you believe a lender has discriminated against you for any reason, you can sub-mit a complaint to the CFPB (www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint), which will review and route your complaint to the lender and work on your behalf to get a response. Once your complaint is logged, you will receive email updates and can log in to monitor the status of your complaint.

To better protect yourself against credit discrimination – or from pursuing credit prod-ucts that aren’t right for you:

Learn about the various features and downsides of the credit product you want. Re-search current interest rates and compare products from several lenders.

Creditors make decisions based on your credit history, so make sure there are no mis-takes or missing items in your credit reports.

Be sure you understand the rates and fees you’ll pay over the long run and ask whether they could change in the future. If a creditor doesn’t want to answer your ques-tions, this could be a bad sign.

Don’t let lenders make you feel rushed or unnecessar-ily delay action on your appli-cation.

Bottom line: Before you sign on the dotted line, make sure the credit product is right for your needs – both today and down the road.

A Big Thanks to all who

helped with Torrey Apple Days. It was a fun success.

A Special Thanks to Leslie Oyler for taking on the task of being the

Chairperson. You did fantastic job. Thanks to all that supported us and our Celebration.

Torrey Apple Days Committee.

There are special mo-ments when people look back and evaluate a life or an era: birthdays, class reunions, holi-days, anniversaries. Time is, after all, simply the stringing together of a number of events, some small, others significant. These events can speed by quickly, but each one can have an effect on the greater whole. A lifetime of seemingly mun-dane events can pass in what seems like the blink of an eye … until one looks back to ex-amine them and realizes just how much has filled the space.

When I think about So-cial Security on the eve of the program’s 78th anniver-sary, I am amazed by what a significant difference it has made, one event at a time, one person at a time. Over Social Security’s long history, every single monthly payment has made a difference to an Ameri-can somewhere. But when you string those payments to-gether, it’s remarkable what a huge and positive effect Social Security has had on the people and economy of our nation.

Social Security has been a cornerstone of our nation, touching the lives of almost every American at one time or another, for 78 years. It’s the most successful domestic pro-gram in our nation and, argu-ably, the world.

When President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the So-cial Security Act into law on August 14, 1935, he said, “The civilization of the past hundred years, with its startling indus-trial changes, has tended more and more to make life inse-cure. Young people have come to wonder what would be their lot when they came to old age. The man with a job has won-dered how long the job would last.” The same can be said of the current information age, with our rapidly evolving digi-tal revolution and periods of economic instability. Social Security is a safety net cast to

reflecting on 78 Years of Social Security

by carolyn W. colvin

Acting Commissioner of Social Security help those who need it.

President Roosevelt knew that the cornerstone of his ad-ministration would offer secu-rity, but he also understood that Social Security would need to evolve as new changes chal-lenged the nation. “This law, too, represents a cornerstone in a structure which is being built but is by no means complete,” he admitted. “It is, in short, a law that will take care of hu-man needs and at the same time provide the United States an economic structure of vastly greater soundness.”

Today, Social Security is much more than just a retire-ment program. We provide benefits to disabled individuals and their families. We provide survivors benefits to widows, widowers and the minor chil-dren of deceased workers. We provide Supplemental Secu-rity Income (SSI) to aged and disabled people who have low income and resources. We pro-vide work incentives to help people work. We even pro-vide Extra Help with Medicare prescription drug costs. In so many ways, Social Security benefits America.

Milestones come and milestones go. But looking back over the past 78 years of the nation’s most important program, it is those millions of individual moments — the monthly benefit payments — that have made a tremendous difference. In good times and bad, in sickness and health, So-cial Security has helped Ameri-cans. Each payment has helped someone, somewhere. But place them side by side and the difference Social Security has made in the lives of Americans is certainly something to cel-ebrate.
