Nola and her husband, Paul, have run sections of Route 12 – including the long, steep uphill run from Calf’s Creek toward Boulder– as part of their training programs. And Nola’s driven between Boulder and Escalante many times, so if anyone could gauge the difficulty of the course, it’s her.

ESCALANTE - Last week, four young men and women did what no one has done before: They were the overall men’s and women’s winners of the first-ever Es-calante Canyons Marathon and Head of the Rocks 10-Mil-er. In the immediate aftermath of the races, we didn’t have the opportunity to give these winners their due honor. This week we’d like to celebrate our overall marathon winners, and next week we’ll applaud our 10-miler winners.

ESCALANTE CAN-YONS MARATHON MEN’S AND OVERALL WINNER: Gary Krugger, Flagstaff, AZ

Gary Krugger, 27 years old, lives and runs in Flag-staff, Arizona. And we mean he LIVES to RUN. The ECM was his 32nd marathon this year and his 171st since he be-gan entering marathon races in 2006.

At the start line, Gary stood apart. At the finish line, we found that the Escalante Canyons Marathon was anoth-er singular accomplishment for someone who is clearly dedicated to breaking personal records: Gary has the distinc-tion of having run a marathon in all 50 states, and he’s had several first-place wins since 2009.

LeTTerSDear Editor,

Wayne and Garfield Counties face unique chal-lenges to our area. Because we have been one of the few areas of our nation that have been good stewards and taken care of our land we have many acres that are available for use and not destroyed. We can be proud of the past and those of us and our ancestors who have used the land wisely. Utah is now facing and aggressive ad-ministration that is trying to create more wilderness type lands. While we all appreciate the natural beauty and wonder of our great State, access to Utah’s lands have been greatly diminished by the restrictions that have come from the fed-eral regulations.

These expansive federal policies that cut off access are killing jobs. Our economy is hurting and our children are lacking needed funds that

could come to their classrooms as a result, as every dollar the state gains in income tax goes directly to fund schools. Are we going to cheat our children. If we were to use our Trust Lands we could not only have more jobs, but better funding for our school children.

We must elect Republi-can leaders who want to use these Trust Lands. President Obama has already canceled our state’s oil and gas leases on federal land. We nee to as a state stand up to President Obama if he is re-elected. John Swallow, Governor Herbert, and Mike Noel have proven records of fighting for control of our lands and this is one of the many reasons they will re-ceive my vote this November.

MANTI - The second episode of a television series dedicated to the heritage and culture along U.S. Highway 89 will take a look at some of the better known - and some less well-known -treasures of cen-tral Utah.

With stops in Manti and Ephraim in Sanpete County, “Discovery Road” (airing on Sunday, Oct. 28, at 7:30 p.m. on KJZZ TV Channel 14), will take a look at the cultural and historical importance of an LDS temple and, just a short distance away, a certain rodent.

It is the second episode in the series, which follows a ‘55 Pontiac as it travels through the Mormon Pioneer National Her-itage Area (MPNHA), which includes U.S. 89, All-Ameri-can Road State Route 12, and Scenic Byway State Route 24. The program invokes the idea of the Sunday-afternoon drive of times past.

Even after only one epi-sode, people who watch the show are discovering the things that make the MPNHA worth driving to themselves.

“Viewers are really telling us the road trip is back,” says MPNHA Executive Director Monte Bona. “When they see how fun these excursions are and how families can interact and enjoy the trip, it makes sense to them. Toss in Face-book and GPS, and you’ve got a fun outing for a lot people.”

The second episode takes viewers back in time as hosts James Nelson and Gena Pers-inger explore the faith and determination of he pioneers who settled the area, symbol-ized now in the most prominent landmark of the area —the ma-jestic Manti LDS temple.

“We’ll explore how the Manti temple was built and what challenges had to be over-come before the doors were opened in 1888,” says Nelson. “Stories about hardship and ac-complishment are blended with heartwarming personal histories born on the Manti Temple Hill.”

Descendants of those who built the temple have great re-spect and veneration for the work of ancestors such as George Paxton, hose great-great-granddaughter Celia Benson is interviewed during the show.

Just two blocks down the road from the temple, Discov-ery Road’s hosts find one of two unlikely critters they en-counter in the episode — a rat at the former home of hot-rod car designer and cartoonist Ed “Big Daddy” Roth.

Roth is known worldwide

The history and significance of the Manti LDS Temple is ex-plored in an upcoming episode of “Discovery Road,” which features a ‘55 Pontiac on a road trip through the Mormon Pi-oneer National Heritage Area in central and southern Utah.

“Discovery road” episode Discovers a Temple, a rat,and — ‘Hey, what Are Those Things?’

by car lovers. He designed cars for both real life and illustra-tion and is known to have had an early influence on some who are now top auto industry executives.

And he is known for an-other cartoon creation: Rat Fink.

“Ed liked to draw things and he didn’t want to copy any-one else’s’ work. So he drew the Rat Fink and figured he was ugly, smelly and no one wanted to mess with him. So that was Rat Fink. He started draw-ing him in 1962,” says Ilene Roth, Ed Roth’s widow who still lives in Manti, maintains a museum dedicated to her hus-

band’s memory and craft, and hosts a Rat Fink Reunion each spring for “Big Daddy’s” many fans.

Also in the episode, Nel-son and Persinger come across a herd of animals that seem out of place in a land of tur-keys and sheep.They figure the animals to be llamas. They stop for some pictures with the odd but adorable critters.

The hosts discover later that that the animals are al-pacas, which are raised for their precious wool. (To be fair, alpacas do resemble llamas.) “They add diversity to the road trip. We loved ‘em,” Persinger says. “Alpacas are part of the

landscape these days. It is no longer just horses and cows.”

Regarding the case of mistaken identity, Nelson says, “Part of the fun is not knowing. We are not experts, and if we are shown to be gazing at what we think or llamas, and we aren’t - well, the joke’s on us.

“Discovery Road” is pro-duced by the Snow College’s Mormon Pioneer Heritage In-stitute at Snow College in co-ordination with the MPNHA.

The Mormon Pioneer Her-itage Area (MPNHA) is a fed-erally designated area of cen-tral and southern Utah running along the beautiful and historic U.S. Highway 89 — including the All-American Road Utah State Route 12, and Capitol Reef Scenic Byway Utah State Route 24, which both intersect with U.S. 89 and together form the MPNHA’s Boulder Loop. The area includes the coun-ties of Sanpete, Sevier, Piute, Wayne, Garfield and Kane.

The Utah Heritage High-way 89 Alliance is the lo-cal coordinating entity of the MPNHA and receives annual funding from the National Park Service. Its purpose is to pre-serve, tell and interpret the sto-ries, history and heritage of the area, and to promote its culture and value.

A statue of the carton rodent “Rat Fink” stands in front of a lifesize mural of Ed “Big Dad-dy” Roth, the creator of Rat Fink and a renowned hot-rod car designer. Both are found in a museum to the late Ed Roth, maintained by his widow Ilene Roth in Manti.

This election deserves more than just ‘sound bites’. The recent candidate forum in Kanab allowed too little time for detailed answers. My op-ponent, Mike Noel, seemed to have only ONE solution to every problem—getting our public lands turned over to us. Presumably, then we’d have all the money to main-tain the lands and to pay for everything that needs fixing in Utah. Sounds good...but the devil is in the details! Even if we ended up getting our wish to control the lands, nearly all the profit made from their sale or lease would go to federal gov’t. And all legal experts agree that our lawsuit will take at least 25 years to be decided at the supreme court level, only to be declared unconsti-tutional anyway. Meanwhile, think of what our state could do with those millions of our tax dollars currently wasted every year on this costly litiga-tion! When we stop “betting the store” on this longshot, we can invest in solutions that work!

Within the tight time dur-ing the candidates forum, I tried to detail a vision of ne-gotiating with our Federal agencies for creative land ex-

we Need A Chorus of Solutions, Not Just

One Drumbeatchanges that would benefit our counties with royalties from mineral extraction that is al-ready in progress.

Some county commis-sions in our district (Wayne & Piute) are already planning to propose policy changes at the federal level to allow for these. These changes would include a cooperative agree-ment to allow our lumber in-dustry to gear up for removal of fallen trees, beetle-infested & scorched timber, and for the clearing of fire-break areas in lieu of the current ‘prescribed burns’ that often get out of control and create unhealthy air.

These are the kinds of win-win solutions that need to be brought to the table right now. We can’t afford to wait 25-30 years! We need good year-round jobs right now. We can strengthen our schools, get training programs into our communities, and provide the incentives that attract good companies to our counties.

Our schools, our health-care programs, our veterans, and our families deserve this!

The application for Escalante to be designated a National Historic District proceeds! We had about 20 people attending the presentation to the city, in addition to the City Council members on October 16. Cory Jensen, Architectural Historian/National Register and Architectural Survey Coordinator at the Utah State Historic Preservation Office discussed the nomination process and what historic designation does (and does not) do.

Nice support from the community! My sincere thanks to all who attended.

The Architectural Survey shows that 43 % of the buildings in town inside the perimeter drawn by the historical office look the way they did 50 years ago.

Everyone I spoke with said the presentation was very in-teresting and we are looking forward to the good news on No-vember 15th in Salt Lake City and in February from the Keeper of the National Register.

We are working on to preserve our past while looking to the future.

With the holidays rapidly approaching, many teenagers will be behind the wheel visit-ing family and friends … and often copying the driving be-havior of their parents. But, is that a good thing? Not neces-sarily.

New research from SADD and Liberty Mutual Insurance reveals an alarm-ing example of do what I say, not what I do when it comes to distracted and dangerous driv-ing. For example, 66 percent of teens believe their parents follow different rules behind the wheel than they set for their children, with approxi-mately 90 percent of teens re-porting that their parents speed and talk on a cell phone while driving.

Parent Driving BehaviorSpecifically, the survey

found teens observe their par-ents exhibiting the following driving behavior at least oc-casionally:

91 percent talk on a cell phone;

88 percent speed;59 percent text message;20 percent drive after

drinking alcohol; and7 percent drive after using

marijuana.

In addition, teens report that nearly half of parents (47 percent) sometimes drive without a seatbelt.

What’s the harm?Prior driving research

from SADD and Liberty Mu-tual points out that parents are the number one influence on teen driving behavior.

Teen Driving BehaviorThus, it may be no sur-

prise that teens repeat these driving behaviors in almost equal numbers to their parents:

90 percent talk on a cell phone;

94 percent speed; and78 percent send text mes-

sages.Also, 15 percent of teens

report driving after using al-cohol.

Modeling Driving Behaviors In short, the link between

the observed and self-reported driving behaviors indicates that parents are modeling de-structive driving and that their teens are following suit.

“These findings highlight the need for parents to realize how their teens perceive their actions,” says Dave Melton, a driving safety expert with

Not As I Do: Dangerous Driving by Parents = Dangerous Driving by Teens

BOULDER MTN. - On Saturday morning, October 20, a group of Back Country Horsemen of Utah gathered at the Cowpuncher Cabin site to clean up the ashes and debris left after last year’s fire totally destroyed the historic cabin and outbuildings. In coordi-nation with Cindy Calbaum of the US Forest Service, a dozen members of BCHU, armed with shovels, rakes, wheel-barrels, trash cans and a huge number of extra heavy-duty

trash bags worked for several hours cleaning the area.

Cowpuncher Guard Sta-tion was built by the Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC) in 1938. The house served as a summer residence for the For-est Ranger and his family and as a contact station for infre-quent visitors. Oral history indicates that the kitchen table came from the Box Guard Sta-tion and that a Ranger named Hyrum Lee carved his name on the side of the table in Oc-

tober 1913. The carving was still there when it burned and although a few changes had been made over the years, the guard station with its house, garage, and outhouse was still historically intact. In more re-cent years, the cabin housed seasonal employees for the Forest Service and since 2006 the cabin had been managed as a recreation cabin rental under the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (FLREA). FLREA allows Federal land agencies such as the Forest Service to collect fees for the use of recreation facilities like this cabin, and use the fees to make improvements to the fa-cilities. With the area cleaned up, the Forest Service now plans to build a cabin on the same site that will replicate the original.

The Canyon Country Chapter of BCHU, although organized around our love of our horses and the great country we have to ride in, is dedicated to being an organi-zation serving our community and helping to keep the trails and country open and safe for recreational activities by vol-unteering for projects such as this latest clean-up at Cow-puncher. Anyone interested in this type of volunteer work, whether you have a horse or not, is encouraged to join BCHU. We have regular meet-ings and potlucks and other enjoyable activities as well as doing our part to maintain Escalante’s traditional outdoor lifestyle . Please contact any member for information.

Liberty Mutual Insurance and its managing director of global safety. “Kids are always ob-serving the decisions parents make behind the wheel and may see unsafe driving as ac-ceptable.”

Teens Can Influence ParentsSimilar to past data show-

ing the power of teens to cor-rect poor driving behavior by peers, the same holds true for a car being driven by their par-ents: nearly three-quarters (70 percent) of the teens surveyed reported that their parents lis-ten to them and change their poor driving behavior when they point out dangerous driv-ing practices.

Unfortunately, not many do.

So, job one is to empower young people to make their discomfort with unsafe driv-ing known to drivers, whoever they are!

What else might help keep kids and adults safe and alive? Ongoing family dia-logue about rules for the road that apply equally for every-one.

Indeed, more than a de-cade of research by SADD and Liberty Mutual point to the potency of open, honest conversations between par-ents and teens … conversa-

tions often made easier and more effective by the sign-ing of behavior contracts that make clear the expectations for both sides.

The Parent/Teen Driving Contract is one such tool and is available for free at:

This way, “Do as I say” becomes synonymous with “Do as I do.”

This time of year, seniors and their parents start to dream of scholarships. Scholarships and other financial aid can make it easier to think about attending a post-secondary institution. Scholarships are available at colleges, notifications are sent to counselors, and many more are out there hidden. Here are some tips that may help:

1. Scholarships are earned not given. Most scholarships are a culmination of grades, test scores, citizenship/service, leadership, and involvement. There are very few scholarships that are given based on random drawings. So, if you are waiting until your senior year to start doing these things you are too late. Get started doing these things before your senior year.

2. Apply. In order to get a scholarship you must fill out the application AND submit it. Scholar-ships don’t go looking for you. You must find them and follow the instructions.

3. Colleges are a great place to look for scholarships. Some colleges have an application and scholarship application all in one; others use a separate application. Check with the college or university you are interested in to see what they use.

4. Apply for more than one college. Often seniors are not 100% decided on which institution to attend. Apply in October and November to three or four colleges that interest you the most and fit your career interests. You can be accepted to several colleges. After applying, wait to see which college is going to offer you the best financial package then make up your mind about which college to attend in the spring.

5. In addition to merit-based scholarships, (those that are based on high school grades and test scores), there are many other scholarships available at colleges. Other types of scholarships are departmental, talent, leadership, and private donor scholarships. These scholarships will often require a separate application and are often hidden. They are also typically renewable each year and often don’t require the same GPA requirement to maintain the scholarship over time. Contact the colleges recruiting or financial aid office to find out where to look for them.

6. Counselors only get a handful of scholarship notifications across their desk, so look online. There are many free places to look for scholarships. Fastweb.com, zinch.com, cappex.com and schoolsoup.com are some great online scholarship search engines. They take a few min-utes to fill out the profile but once you do, you will start to receive e-mails about scholarships that match the information entered. One helpful idea is to create a separate email account to handle these. You will receive some spam from these sites but they are worth it. In addition to those sites, parents check with your employer, union, or other affiliations you belong to; they often have scholarships available for students.

7. No matter what the scholarship, find out the due date and criteria behind it. Make sure you strictly follow them. If letters of recommendation are required, jump on it early. Don’t wait until the day before to ask someone for a letter of recommendation.

8. Appearance. Many scholarships are completed by submitting a form online. There are also scholarships that you can download the application and fill it out on your computer or by hand. If you can’t type your application make sure to use your best handwriting in pen. It is a good idea to copy it and make a rough draft; then have someone proofread it before send-ing it.

9. Many scholarships are based on an essay. Most students click delete as soon as they see that word. Scholarships based on essays are not applied for as heavily and so your chances are actually better with an essay scholarship. Most essays are 500 words or less which is not much writing.

10. Start searching early--before your senior year. There are a lot of scholarships out there for students who are in 5th through 11th grade. The above listed search engines (point #6) have many in their databases.

11. Keep track. As listed in point #1, most scholarships are a culmination of activity. Make sure that you keep track of the service projects, leadership positions, activities, and other involve-ment so that you can remember when it is time to apply. Scholarship opportunities favor those who are able to be exact on their applications. Also, keep certificates and write down dates of activities you have participated in throughout high school.

12. Scams. There are many scams out there disguised as something great--be careful. Keep your identity safe; don’t give out information that could put it in danger. Never pay to enter a schol-arship; if it asks for a credit card, don’t do it. If you have questions regarding the validity of a scholarship, you can ask the financial aid office at the college you are interested in if they have ever heard or dealt with them. They are a great resource. You can also go to http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/oig/misused/sscams.html for additional information. 13. For students in Garfield County go to the district web page (www.garfield.k12.ut.us) and put your mouse over the “Parent & Student” tab at the top. Follow it down to the “Counseling” button and click on scholarships to the right. This is where the scholarships are posted. Wayne students go to www.wayne.k12.ut.us and then “Counseling Office” to find scholarships.

wow! The Lady Cats repeat as State Cross Country Champs

For the second year in a row the Lady Cats easily dominated the State Cross Country meet at Sugar House Park last Wednesday. Led by freshmen Whittni Orton—who had a big lead over the second place finisher from St. Joe—finished strong with a personal best of 19 min.18 sec. Catania Holman finished a strong 3rd and McKayla Heaton finished 6th. They were followed by Aubrey Taylor 11th, Brenna Mooney 14th and Amber Wilson in 15th. All six girls were in the top 15 run-ners, in the scoring column. There were runners who also ran but didn’t belong to a team that did really well.

It was really a one sided victory, 1st place, Panguitch 35, 2nd place Wayne 59 and St. Joe. at 66. St. Joe was the team to beat for years, now it looks like it’s Panguitch’s turn to dominate. The Cats only Junior is Aubrey Taylor and the rest of the team made of freshmen and sophomores should be a power house for some time.

The Bobcats also had a great meet at Sugar House, taking second to Monticello. It really looked good for the Cats with Kyler Norris taking 3rd and his brother Keldon Norris in 6th. With the first Monticello runner coming in 8th, however they had the 10th thru 15th runners and easily won the team title, with a score of 45 points. Connor Anderson, Cade Cole and Garrett Finch were 3rd, 4th and 5th for the Cats. Since the Cats tied with Bryce Valley it was Ian Anderson 6th finish that broke the tie. Both teams put in a lot of work preparing for this meet and it really paid off.

I can’t say enough for the Coaches Danny Yardley and Jen Houston,. They get out and run with the kids and the kids think the world of them. You can’t teach ability but you can get the most out of that ability and that’s where coaching comes in. Jen did her swan dive into the creek again this year; if the girls keep winning maybe she should get a wet suit.

At Region 20 it was a long day for the Cats. They played the first game at 8 in the morning and were in the final game against Piute that started at 9 in the evening. The games against Piute were outstanding. The first 3 games went to a 23 to 25 scores and the T Birds won the first two and the Cats came back to take the third. The Cats finally fell in the fourth game 25 to 18, to finish 2nd. This was supposed to be a rebuilding year for the volleyball team, with only one senior on the team and most of the team made up of freshmen and sophomores. Coach Sharee Frandsen has done an outstanding job with these young players and has molded them into a very good team. State starts Oct. 26 and 27th and they will be held at UVU. Come on out and cheer the Cats as they work their way through the competition. Again Region 20 has some real good teams with Piute, Panguitch and Escalante all looking to do well there.

Frank Houston tells me with the Baseball and Cross Country Championships it brings PHS total championships to 58. I am glad to see the State Championship banners back up in the gym, the old banners were too big and there wasn’t enough room for them.

State Volleyball is the last of the fall sports and come November it starts all over again with basketball and wrestling.

Bryce Valley High Cross

Countryby.natHan Platt, Coach

The state cross country meet was held last Wednesday at Sugar House Park. The top teams and individual runners from all over the state were there. Two Bryce Valley girls, Lizzy Platt and Sierra Leech, qualified to run as individu-als based on their scores at region and both of them ran very well. With 62 girls run-ning Lizzy took 27th and Si-erra 32nd. The Bryce Valley Boys team also had a very good race. With twelve teams represented and over 100 run-ners, it was a very competitive course from the outset. The Bryce Valley team finished the season in 3rd place miss-ing second by just 1 point. The boys ran well, and gave their all. Adam Platt finished 7th; Taryn Syrett, 16th; Braxton Syrett, 25th; Tanner Barton, 28th; Chandlyr Tebbs, 30th; John Cloud, 37th; and Joshua Rose, 42nd. We are grateful to our fans who filled a bus to capacity to cheer us on. Those running said afterwards that they felt like they were cheered on at every step of the 3 mile race. Our fans are the envy of the region and their support was very appreciated. The coaches would like to thank the team manager, Marilee Platt, for the hours spent gathering results, and other duties of benefit to the team during the past 2 years. We would also like to express appreciation to the cheerleaders for the great send off, and the booster club for providing accommodations for the team. It was a great season.

Board Meeting was held Wednesday, October 10, 2012. Usual business was conducted at the beginning of the meet-ing.

Coach Scott Ellett report-ed on the successful baseball season. He appreciated the board and school support, and felt the team and individual players had a successful year. He expressed concern with funding issues, facilities, and what seems to be a more apa-thetic attitude by all involved. The board expressed appre-ciation for his and the other coaches’ efforts this year.

Mrs. Jessica Grundy was recognized for her outstanding achievement in being chosen as a 2012 State and National Agriculture Educator of the year. The board presented her a certificate, and expressed

Wednesday the 17th of October was the final state race of the cross-country season for the Wayne Badgers. The girls had a very successful season, and all of their competitions had lead up to this race at the lovely Sugarhouse Park in Salt Lake City. This year there was a total of 66 competi-tors running against them. One of the team members, Brittany Hagel, had torn her Achilles tendon right at the sound of the gun and had to be taken to the hospital. The girls missed their teammate and hope for a speedy recovery. The badgers ran to the best of their ability and took home a second place state trophy! Nice job state champions! Two of their runners are also All-State winners, hav-ing placed in the top ten. Congratulations to Lauren Jackson who finished 4th and Brooke Barney who finished 10th. Also, well done to the three girls who received Academic All-State: SteviRee Barney, Lauren Jackson, and Jocee Morrell.

The cross-country team couldn’t have done it without their amazing coaches. Being my last year, I have had the opportunity to spend all four of my high school career being trained by a woman whom I admire and love, Tina Anderson. She has pushed me and my fellow team members through four successful cross-country seasons, bringing home three region championships and three 2nd place state trophy’s. She has sacrificed so much of her time to the development of this great team, and has given us the encouragement to make us the best runners that we can be. I speak for my fellow team members when I say I can’t thank her enough.

We also had the amazing opportunity to be trained this year by Western Conference Athlete of the Year and running legend, Sarah Taylor. Honestly, how many high school runners can say that their coaches run WITH them, let alone FASTER than them? It has been a pleasure having Sarah’s sweet personality and cheering attitude motivate us across the finish line. We owe her so much, and are so grateful for the time she put in to make us great athletes.

Thank you also Greg Southwick for the inspiring words and support you have given the team. We hope you enjoyed your last year coaching, and deeply appreciate all that you’ve given towards the team.

Well done again to the 2012 second place champions!This Thursday the 25th the volleyball girls will be playing their determining match against

Oakley at the UVU center in Orem at noon. This match concludes whether or not the girls continue on to state after their hard-fought matches in region. GOOD LUCK GIRLS!

Lets fight together to helpKNOCK-OUT 

Last Thursday Loa Elementary school as well as Wayne Middle school were visited by author Brent Boswell. Mr. Boswell spent time with each grade promoting reading and writing and taking time to sign books for the students. I asked star student Laine Jensen, a second grader in Ms. Davis’ class, to write a short review of Mr. Boswell’s visit.

All about Brent Boswell“I had lots of fun. I really liked his books. My favorite book was Big Mean Pig and I can’t wait to

start reading it. He was cool because the pictures he showed to us made me laugh. It was fun to play the game where you raise your hand if you thought the picture he had was real or if you thought it was not real. He was really funny and very nice. It was really interesting to hear and see how he wrote his books. I hope that he will come back again to talk to us and show us more things about his books. Thank-you Mr. Brent Boswell!” Thank you Laine for that great review, you can learn more about Brent Boswell and his books by visiting his facebook page or visiting his website www.brentboswell.com

It is time to introduce the star students for the month of October; in the back row, left to right, are: Russell VanDyke, Mrs. Blackburn’s p.m. kinder-garten; Sydney Knutson, Mrs. Libby Torgerson’s 3rd grade; Paxton Davis, Mrs. Ekker’s 4th grade; Brayden Lawton, Mrs. Barlow’s 4th grade; Mag-gie Taylor, Mrs. Brown’s 5th grade; and Tamara Ayala, Mrs. William’s 3rd grade. On the bottom row, Zachary Neff, Mr. Ellett’s 5th grade; Kamryn Knutson, Mrs. Brinkerhoff’s 1st grade; Ian Faddis, Mrs. Potter’s 1st grade; Kaylyn-Rae Trenka, Mrs. Liz Torgerson’s 2nd grade; Laine Jensen, Ms. Da-vis’ 2nd grade and Derek Lyman, Mrs. Blackburn’s a.m. kindergarten. Way to go students!!

Tomorrow is the Community Council’s Halloween Festival! Everyone has been working hard to make sure this year’s festival is better than the last. There will be many games including a fish pond, cake walk, bowling, and putt-putt golf; plus and the room mom’s in Mr. Ellett’s fifth grade class have made a new game for this year you won’t want to miss!! There will be a spook alley, witching hour and face painting along with cotton candy, popcorn, pizza and more. Students have been selling tick-

ets to family members for about a week, but never fear you can buy tickets at the school tomorrow night as well. The carnival starts at 6 p.m. and will run until 9. So get dressed up in your Halloween best and come for good food, good times and a good scare!

The community council would also like to thank everyone who helped with Red Ribbon week, the guest speakers have been awesome and the students have looked great dressed up each day. To-morrow will be the Red Carpet Assembly at 10:30, awards for the activities and contests that have been held through out the week will be handed out.

BOX TOPS, BOX TOPS, if you have any lying around the house it is time to get them turned in. The BoxTop pro-gram has 2 due dates each year, in which school turns in their accumulated BoxTops, and re-ceives a check from General Mills. The first deadline is the end of October, so even if you haven’t used the whole box of cereal yet, cut out that Box-Top and take it to the school! Also this year Betty Crocker is getting in on the fun and will be awarding the school that increases their clipped Box-Tops by the biggest percent 250,000 BoxTops, that adds up to $25,000. Last year Loa El-ementary turned in 10,631; so everyone get saving, clipping and especially turning in those BoxTops!

OverstaffedA young man was apply-

ing for a job in a big company.“I’m sorry,” said the per-

sonnel manager, “but the firm is overstaffed; we have more employees now than we really need.”

“That’s all right,” replied the young man, undiscour-aged, “the little bit of work I do won’t be noticed anyway.”

40th BirthdayOn her 40th birthday a

wife waltzed out of the bed-room dressed in an old outfit that she dug out of the back of the closet.

“I wore this on my 30th birthday! I guess that means my wardrobe is ten years old,” she said to her husband, hop-ing he’d take the hint and buy her some new clothes as a present.

“Or,” he offered instead, “it means when you were 30 you had the body of a 40-year-old.”

(He is expected to be dis-charged from the hospital next week but he will always walk with a limp).

Babysitting I was not thrilled with

the idea of letting my clueless 13-year-old son babysit his younger brothers, even though he begged me to.

“What about a fire?” I asked, referring to my No. 1 concern.

“Mom,” he said, rolling his eyes, “I’m a Boy Scout. I know how to start a fire.”

who’s That?While working at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney

World, I was responsible for emptying the trash cans in front of the castle.

One afternoon as I was changing out the trash bag in one of the refuse bins, I saw a small girl point at me and overheard her ask her mother, “Who’s that lady?”

“Why, honey,” her mother replied, “that must be Cinderella, before she met her fairy godmother!”

Dead Artists

An artist asked the gal-lery owner if there had been any interest in his paintings on display at that time.

“I have good news and bad news,” the owner re-plied. “The good news is that a gentleman inquired about your work and wondered if it would appreciate in value after your death. When I told him it would, he bought all 15 of your paintings.”

“That’s wonderful,” the artist exclaimed. “What’s the bad news?”

“The guy was your doc-tor.”

Deflated egoI’m a counselor who helps coordinate support groups for

visually- impaired adults. Many participants have a condition known as macular degeneration, which makes it very difficult for them to distinguish facial features. I had just been assigned to a new group and was introducing myself.

Knowing that many in the group would not be able to see me well, I jokingly said, “For those of you who can’t see me, I’ve been told that I look like a cross between Paul Newman and Robert Redford.” Immediately, one woman called out, “We’re not THAT blind!”

Defense Contractor

My job is in the Aero-space Industry, and it’s always been a challenge to explain what kind of work I do.

At one gathering, I tried several unsuccessful attempt-ed explanations before decid-ing to be as generic as pos-sible. When the subject came up while I was talking with a group of guys, I replied sim-ply, “Defense Contractor.”

The men nodded, and as the conversation went on, I si-lently declared victory to my-self. Then, one of them turned to me and asked, “So, what do you put up mainly? Chain-link?”

Last night I flew in from Manhattan. It was about a five hour flight. Throughout the flight, I was able to see the beautiful land and water below from oceans, lakes and rivers, to orange tree tops, to what looked like million dollar homes and humble ones’ along with farms and businesses. I saw snow on top of Colo-rado mountains, Moab, Utah, rock formations and a beauti-ful sunset in Las Vegas. God made all this possible. How grateful I am for the blessings of His beautiful creations. I am also grateful for people. For instance, on my flight to Manhattan, I sat next to a won-derful Filipino woman who told me all about her family. And the young woman next to her, a lovely respiratory therapist from California, was heading into the city with her girlfriends for the weekend. She, upon knowing I use a sleep apnea machine, said she would keep me abreast of any new masks and machines that she becomes aware of. And the Filipino woman may call me during the holidays to talk with a Filipino friend of mine. On my return flight, I met a wonderful couple who’d been together for over 10 years and were still deeply in love with one another. Upon saying they didn’t have many friends in Las Vegas, only living there for a few years, suggested we keep in touch. Like God’s beautiful earthly creations, His people are also beautiful. And each one has a story.

Find the good in people. Yes, their strengths. Love them. Care for them. Reach out to them. Smile at them. Forgive them. Pray for them. Be kind to them. Connect with them. Believe in them. Support them. Go out of your way for them. Seek forgive-ness. If you want to sit down and watch TV all night long or be on the computer or watch video games, first think who might need a phone call or visit. Remember that you’re not a human being having a spiritual experience, but a spiritual being having a hu-man one; therefore, the TV, the computer or video game can wait. Serve first and you will be blessed. After all, wouldn’t you want someone to do that

for you?Be there for people. As

you are, you will find your problems become minuscule. You will find more love in your heart. You will be blessed for being there for others.

That’s what’s really im-portant.

And that’s what life’s about.

He was born in Kimball, Nebraska in 1936 to David and Maxine Brothwell. Dick graduated from Napa High School in 1954. After graduation, he went to work for Pacific Telephone and Telegraph and after 38 years of service he retired in Decem-ber 1993.

He loved traveling in his Bounder motor home that took him and his wife Shirley through 46 states, including Alaska, in addition to, approximately two months in Mexico. He also loved golfing, fishing, riding his motorcycle, and watching his San Francisco Giants and 49ers.

He leaves behind a loving family: his wife, and high school sweetheart, of 56 years Shirley Brothwell (Sooter); daughter Cindy Pieper Jaeger and son-in-law Lee Jaeger of Palm Desert, California; son David Brothwell and daughter-in-law Tanya with granddaughter Emma and grandson Cody of Tropic, Utah.

K O O S H A -REM - Bryce LaRon Bagley, age 42, died Sun-day, October 14, 2012 at his home in Koosharem. He was born February 18, 1970 in Og-den, Utah, a son of Wells LaRon and Coleen Bagley. He graduated from Wayne High school, Class of 1988. He attended Utah Valley Col-lege for one year and then attended Southern Utah

University in Cedar City, where he received his Bachelors De-gree in Agribusiness. He married Sarah Pace, August 26, 1995 in the Manti LDS Temple.

He was an active member of the LDS Church, serving as a faithful Home Teacher, Elder’s Quorum Instructor, and working with the Scouts, where he loved helping his boys with their pine wood derbys. He loved the Gospel of Jesus Christ and had a very strong testimony that had grown and was strengthened so much during the past couple of years. LaRon served as Water Master in Koosharem for a couple of years and was the weather man for several years.

LaRon was a great teacher to his kids, teaching them car-pentry, farming and anything and everything they were inter-ested in. He loved to go fishing and taught his boys how to fish. He enjoyed hunting and camping and being in the outdoors with his family. He loved music, playing the guitar and composing poetry.

Most of all, LaRon was a wonderful father to his children. They were the light and joy of his life. The happiest times were with his family. He loved his wife, Sarah, and often said she was the best wife he could ever have found and the best thing that ever happened to him.

LaRon had a very inquisitive mind and he was loved by all who knew him. He was such a constant in life, with his dedica-tion of his love for his wife, his children, the land, his church and his unwavering loyalty in his friendships. He will be deeply missed.

TOrreY NewSAdus Dorsey

Boulder Mountain au-tumn yellows have given way to hunter’s orange and like in the movie “The Sound of Mu-sic” the hills are alive with the sound of musical gunfire. Deer hunters from all over Utah and neighboring states are once again descending on Southern Utah with enough ammunition and foodstuffs to outfit a small army. It is the annual deer hunt and the time of year when the local non-hunter outdoors-men are fleeing to the desert to safely get away from gunshots and enjoy what is left of the fall colors.

Not so amazing is what the annual “deer hunt” actu-ally provides which is a tra-ditional fall family activity. In an interesting sort of way families come together and have the opportunity get away from the distraction of the boob tube and share quality time together, cooking elabo-rate Dutch oven meals over a camp fire, telling stories that bring past family history alive and that often times connect the discombobulated dots in a child’s mind.

At the crack of dawn on opening morning is when the real action begins which is one of the most important reasons for wearing as much orange as humanly possible and why free roaming cows and any-thing else with fur should be off the mountain by the 15th of October. For some funny reason as soon as the deer hunt starts it seems that any animal or person with hair or has horns on it is often times confused as being a deer and many an unlucky brown cow has met their final fate as a result. Then the cow killing event gets expanded on every deer hunt around the late night campfire about the time the Dutch oven peach cobbler be-gins to bubble and a new gen-eration of deer hunters finally

understand the yearly told story of why Uncle Bob spent six months in jail in 1972 and hasn’t touched a beer since.

Aside from the deer hunt, fire wood gathering and fall potato digging are also big family events that at times keep the Wayne County clinic medical providers busy on late October weekends. Stitches, casts and flesh wounds make for good show and tell stories on Monday mornings at the Loa elementary school, just ask Savannah Williams.

For the most part all the gardens in the Torrey area have been cleared of their bounteous fall harvest. Ma-son canning jars are about as scarce a commodity as a rub-ber tire was during the depres-sion of the 1930’s because all the bachelors in the area have been hoarding the glass jars all year long to trade for full bot-tles of fruit jellies, dill pickled beans and many other bottled garden delicacies that will get them happily through the win-ter months.

As a reality check and a possible reason why Uncle Bob might have been heavily drinking beer around the deer hunt campfire in 1972 is that annual property tax notices have hit nearly everybody’s Post Office boxes in the past week. Our once a year love letters (not to be confused with the much love related February Valentines Day) from our lovely and ever help-ful Wayne County Treasurer remind us it is our turn to pay our dues for living in paradise or inherited property respon-sibility left to some of us as a reminder of local pioneer heri-tage. Property taxes are prob-ably a prime reason why the leaves die and fall off of the trees this time of year, and to make matters worse why we are required to pay federal in-

come taxes in the spring. Is it any wonder that Thanksgiving and Christmas are inconspicu-ously placed in between both tax related events and little Tiny Tim in the “Christmas Carol” was reduced to limp-ing around London grateful for a handout, and Scrooge somehow resembles the looks of a disheveled Uncle Sam in-stead of jolly Santa Clause? In words of wisdom from a good friend in Bicknell, “pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered” and other words of wisdom from another friend in Torrey, “It is hard to say no to a bat.”

The Torrey Town $1,600,000.00 water proj-ect has progressed to a point where the new 250,000 gal-lon water storage tank has nearly reached completion and ahead of schedule due to the foresight of Grundy Con-crete, the efforts of Wayne County Planning and Zoning Committee and the Wayne County Commissioners, Tom Jeffery, DeRae Fillmore and Rob Williams and project con-tractor Jackson Excavation of Bicknell, Utah and Jones and DeMille Engineering of Rich-field, Utah in coordination with elected officials and em-ployees of Torrey Town.

Heavy duty rock eating trenching equipment have been on site on the eastern edges of Torrey Town this past week near the junction of Highway 24 and Highway 12 to upgrade out of town water connections, install far reach-ing fire hydrants and improve low fire flows. Visitors and residents alike may experience water project construction re-lated delays on Highway 12 for the next week. Sleeping Rainbow residents can also ex-pect water related construction events in their neighborhoods as undersized water lines are being replaced to improve

water pressure; much needed water storage capacity and increased fire flows. The con-tinued patience of all residents and visitors affected by the 2012 Torrey Town water con-struction project is requested and very much appreciated.

As an important seasonal reminder if you as a Torrey Town water user that may have accessed your personal water meter or disturbed the Torrey Town provided insulat-ing foam pillow that protects your water meter from inevi-table winter freezing tempera-tures, and you personally from life threatening snakebites and Black Widow spider at-tacks please contact the Torrey Water Department at 435 425 3600 as soon as possible. Not doing so may result in a loss of water service, damage to the electronically complicated newly installed water metering equipment or a long drawn out painful death as a consequence of poisonous snake or deadly flesh eating spider bites. Per-sonal access to and disruption of insulating pillows in Torrey Town owned water meter bar-rels might require long hospi-tal stays and or full payment for equipment and labor relat-ed damages. The Torrey Town Water Department highly sug-gests that all Torrey Town wa-ter users immediately install personally accessible shut off valves for private use as Tor-rey Town water meter access by private owners to water meter equipment and shut off valves is strictly prohibited.

Aside from everything else autumn is a very special time of year. Enjoy it for what it is because for the luckiest of us we will have the privilege to begin life with a fresh start next year. October is Breast Cancer awareness month, cel-ebrate life and help find a cure for cancer.

Well it is almost Hallow-een and autumn will soon be gone. Where has the year gone to? Unbelievable. We said goodbye today to our beautiful granddaughter Joanna as she returned to Richfield to get on with her life. She has decisions to make and we will miss her so much. She has been here for six months and has been a bright light in our home. She is the daughter of David and Debbie Jensen and our old-est granddaughter. Hope she doesn’t forget the road that leads to our house. She made lots of friends here this sum-mer and loved working for Lance and Shane at the front desk of Ruby’s. We wish her the best luck in whatever con-clusions she comes to, now.

Thanks to the six ladies that came to help with the quilt that Joanna wanted to learn on. Anita Fletcher, Glenna Fletcher, Ramona Morreale, Iris Burr, Ellen (sorry I forgot her last name and she is new to Cannonville), Sandy John-son and myself. We taught her how to tie and bind a quilt and she was thrilled.

Sandy Johnson says: “Three cheers for Home De-pot! They support the Cub Scout program and has gener-ously donated wood kits for our Cub Scouts!! Awesome!”

Congratulations to Jake and Serah Shepherd of Bryce Canyon City. They just had their first adorable little baby boy at the Valley View Medi-cal Center. They have decided to name him Jacob and all is well in their world. Jake works at the Car Care Center at Ru-by’s.

Art and I went to Cedar to the eye doctor and then to Cannonview Middle School to a Fall Concert. Our grandson, Makay Jensen, son of Mike and Stacie Jensen, played the bassoon and the trombone in this concert. We are so proud

of him. Also playing in the concert was Westin Shake-spear, son of Ryan and Erin Shakespear and grandson of Franz and Margaret Shake-spear. He played a solo and did very well. We saw the grand-children of Jim and Louise England as part of this concert. Shelby and Roman Dotson, children of Rob and Melinda Dotson had a part in the con-cert. They all did very well and it was great watching and listening to them. Congratula-tions on a job well done and to the teacher for her hard work with the kids.

In Church today there were a lot of visitors: Brian and Shelly Clements and son Ian from Salt Lake, Ryan and Erin Shakespear from Cedar City with their family, Da-vid and Candice Shakespear of Roy and their family, and James and Mikki Shakespear of Cedar City were all here to visit Franz and Margaret Shakespear. Ryan and Laycee Johnson and children came from Torquerville to see Pete and Keela Mangum.

Congratulations to Shan-di Syrett who was baptized by her father, Brady Syrett. Her mom is Shawnee Syrett. Grandparents are Mondell and Florence Syrett of Tropic.

If you need a ride to St. George on November 2nd please call Vicki Ahlstrom 679-8921, to arrange to ride in the Senior Citizen bus.. They will be more than happy to have you tag along for the trip. They will be leaving at 11:00 A.M. to allow time for lunch.

The Scout over nighter was a huge success and all came home safely.

Wes and Ellen Clarke and family went to St.George to see son Eric Clarke sworn into the Bishopric. Congratulations to you Eric.

Eva Pollock has moved to Richfield to be near her daugh-

ter, Pauline Allen. She wasn’t sure she wanted to leave Trop-ic but she will be fine and have the help she needs as the Care Center.

Sorry I took so much space for my news. If you call or send more of your news then mine would be less. Thanks

and have a great week. Voting is coming up very soon so be ready to vote and let’s have a huge turn out for the polls.

And...thanks to the coach-es, Nathan Platt and Scott Bar-ton for a fine season and lots of support for the team.VS

No it’s not your imagina-tion it has been warm. Septem-ber was the warmest, Sept. in history, world wide. I would think that October will follow along with more of the same. I didn’t see anyone in town to-day, and then I realized it was the first day of the deer hunt and everyone was in camou-flage. Not being a hunter, I think that this is actually the fifth opening day; bow hunt, deer and elk, black powder deer and elk, I am probably wrong. Talking to a hunter, he told me that it’s so warm that as soon as the sun comes up the deer head for the trees. When we moved here 20 years ago, you could always tell when it was deer season; the snow was so deep that the deer would have to come down where they could be taken. I have been told that the last time that it snowed for deer season was 2007. I did see one good look-ing elk that a young man got with a bow, a couple of weeks ago. Normally we see deer in town eating the fruit out of the trees or the grass on our lawn.

The Great flu shoot -out was a big success again this year, with (I have been told) over 3 hundred folks taking part in this great program. Again I hope you will follow

this up with a pneumonia and shingles vaccine.

Paula Palmer had a very good bake sale and the town brought out the goodies. Again people responded by buying up all the goodies by 1:00. Paula would like to thank all of you that helped out on her playground equipment proj-ect, she brought in more than $500 dollars. It’s wonderful to see young people get involved in making a difference in our Town.

I believe last Tuesday (Oct. 23rd) was the first day of early voting in Utah. Utah is one of the last states that still allow you to vote for your par-ty. Whether you put a D or L or R in, you need to know that there are other non partisan positions that are up for elec-tion, Judges and School Board members, to name a few. We have some very bright young people running for school board, so take a few minutes to finish out your ballot.

Panguitch High’s drama class is putting on the musi-cal Joseph and the Technicolor Coat, this season. Elaine Bald-win and Cheryl Church have outdone themselves on this endeavor. They have 60 kids taking part in the play and it will be doubled casting again.

Cheryl said you will be sur-prised by how well the boys are singing and dancing. These plays that are put on here are a must see and so much fun to see these kids perform. I think that they will be performed on November 2nd, 3rd and 9th and 10th. I will know better on the dates next week. With double casting you can see the play on two different nights and it will a be different look each time.

The Elementary School’s program honoring Veterans will be held on Friday, Novem-ber 9th, instead of on Monday. This way, after the program is over the kids can go home.

October is breast cancer awareness month. Breast Can-cer is 99% curable! Why you say are there always women dying from long bouts with breast cancer? The catch is early detection—you have to catch it in stage 1 or 2. Breast Cancer is at really a high level in So. Utah, it is almost an epidemic, I know at least 15 women who have beat this disease. It’s a very stressful process that you go through, but all of this passes and you will get another 20 years of life. The Pink night volleyball game at Piute is a reminder of how bad this disease is there

were over 50 pictures on the wall of breast cancer survivors in their community. You can’t be too young or too old to get a mammogram, a friend of mine lost his daughter when she was in her twenties. Those that are hit most are those over 40 and you should get an exam annu-ally when you reach your fif-ties. Utah ranks last in women getting mammograms, with less than 40% of women get-ting this exam. In Garfield Co. we are lucky that we have a mammogram machine that comes to the local commu-nities on a regular schedule. Women aren’t the only ones who neglect getting exams; men of Utah also rank last in prostate exams. I have lost too many friends to this problem; the old adage that you’ll die from something else before the prostate cancer will get you, is a lie. When life expect-ance was 62 that might have been true, not anymore, see-ing a friend lying in a hospi-tal suffering from this disease for months is heart breaking. I know it’s not a manly thing to get this check up, but suck it up and I have lost friends in their fifties to this disease.

Pat and I are off to Disney Land, hope you get your deer.

The first thing I must do this week is make a correc-tion! I have known all my life that Jaleen Vance only had one brother, Robert Liston. But last week I stated that Wayne Pol-lock was her brother, which is totally not true, Wayne is her son and I knew that! Old age is catching up to me, that’s my only explanation! Sorry! I just hope that made Jaleen feel younger!

We had a lot of “home town” people running in the Marathon last weekend. To name a few:

Nola Coombs Otterstrom, Salt Lake City, was the wom-en’s first place winner in the race from Boulder to Escalante. She is a daughter of Vard and Mary Jane Coombs, Boul-der. Bets are that she never, in all her wildest dreams, ever thought she would be running that route when she was riding the school bus all those years! Congratulations to her!

After much debate, Jill Phillips opted to run the 26 mile race and finished with fly-ing colors!

Kim J. Ott (formerly of Tropic who may be your den-tist now in St. George) and his fifteen year old son, David, both ran in the 26 mile race.

Do any of you remember Craig Zufelt who used to live here and work for the BLM? He had two sons running in the 26 mile marathon. Brett Zufelt, Stansbury Park, Ut. and Scott Zufelt, Enoch, Ut.

Other runners who have Escalante or county connec-tions were:

Jennifer Smith, Salt Lake City, took second place in the women’s ten mile race. She is the wife of Jared Smith and daughter-in-law of Margo Smith.

Kristen Snedeger, Fre-mont, took third place in the ten miler. She is the daughter of Janeen and Brad Duncan, Loa, and a granddaughter of Deon and Arnold Alvey.

Other participants in the ten mile race were:

Misty Lyman Wilson, Big Water, Ut. daughter of Troy Lyman and Dixie Spencer, married to Brad Wilson, grand-daughter of Lillian Lyman.

Corinne Venuti Rubio, Beaver, who is the daughter of Frank and Leslie Venuti.

Jack Reardon, Cedar City. Jack’s wife is the former Jan-ice Haycock. He has probably built kitchen cabinets for some of you.

Natalie Mallory, daughter of Doug and Barbara Haycock, Las Vegas, Nev.

Jordon Cottam, wife of Chad Cottam, Cedar City and her sister, Lacee Leach, Panguitch.

Other Escalante partici-pants were: Melani Torgersen, Dale Richards, Jarel Anderson, Ashley Beebe Chidester, and Cailon Causey ran the last mile and a half with the 64 year old cancer survivor, who was the final finisher, to bring the race to an almost tearful conclusion.

There were a number of other runners who, we hope, will come back next year and bring their friends. The total number of runners was 22 in the 26 mile race and 33 in the ten mile.

The committee of this first Escalante Canyons Marathon should be commended for a job well done! Committee mem-bers were: Brent Cottam, Drew and Mary Parkin, Lori Cole-man, Louise and Larry Barnes, Sabrina Hughes, Dale Richards and Melani

Torgersen. Timers were: Greg Allen, Wade and Lori Beebe. The runners all agreed that the volunteers were all some of the best they had seen. Their help was also greatly ap-preciated.

Jace Taylor is home from his mission. He had planned to come home a little early and surprise everyone, but got a surprise himself when his parents, Jerry and Monica met him at the airport in New York! When they got him home he did surprise everyone here as they were not expecting him so soon.

My son, Robert, and I went to Cedar City last Friday for my eye appointment. While having lunch at the Sizzler we were able to visit with Stan and Valerie (Shurtz) Huntington, Hatch, and our neighbors down the street, Reed and Karen Munson. The Munson’s were on their way to St. George for their weekly visit to the temple. We rarely see them here in town!

Don Haws, his son Don Earl and his grandson, Robert, came from Kileen, Texas for a 4 or 5 day visit before winter sets in. They said they came to fish but they only spent one day fishing.

Jim and Clo Coleman Walker, Oregon, came through our area recently on a trip to visit Clo’s brothers and sisters. They visited Jerry and Rosalie Coleman and Leah Coleman Button in Kanab; LaFay and Janet Coleman in Orderville; Frank and Kathryn Coleman, Don and Lillian Coleman and Dan Coleman here in Escalante and Barbara C. and Leo Gard-ner in Boulder. They stopped long enough to help Don with the cows and all played cards, a Coleman family must!

Clo and Jim’s son is mar-

ried to Glen and Loretta Shaw’s youngest daughter, Veda, for-mer Escalante residents. Glen died a few years ago and Loret-ta now resides in Oregon. Clo mentioned that Mark Lyman is a frequent visitor to their home in Oregon and they often remi-nisce about life in Boulder and the people they knew there.

Jarrett and Tanya Taylor and family, St. George, spent the weekend with Ryan and Tari Cottam. They spent one day going to Hell’s Backbone. Tanya is Tari’s sister.

Elder Brian Nashif recent-ly returned from a LDS mission to the Calgary, Alberta, Canada area. He reported his mission in the Escalante first ward last Sunday. He is the son of Carol and Jeff Kraft (?).

Our girls volleyball team took 3rd in the tournament here on the weekend. Piute was 1st, Panguitch 2nd and Milford 4th.

A work meeting was held at the city offices last Tuesday, Oct. 16, before the regular council meeting. It was con-ducted by Harriett Priska, who has spearheaded a Historic Dis-trict Nomination for Escalante for some time now.

Cory Jensen, Architec-tural Historian/National Reg-ister & Architectural Survey Coordinator at the Utah State Historic Preservation Office was in attendance to discuss the nomination process and fielded a question and answer segment. He explained that no restrictions come with this designation. Property owners will retain all of their rights to maintain, alter or demol-ish their buildings as they see fit. Under the right conditions

there may be funds available to restore some of our old build-ings that exist now.

Property taxes will not in-crease as a result of a National Historic designation.

The application process has already been voted on and approved by our former Mayor, Donnie Porter, and his council and again by incumbent Mayor, Jerry Taylor, and his council.

If the Board and State Historic Preservation Officer approves the nomination it will be submitted to the Utah State Historic Preservation Review Board for approval in mid No-vember.

In city council meeting Dana Wagoner gave a report on the trip she and Mayor Jerry Taylor took recently with the Garfield County Commission-ers, Mayor Talbot of Panguitch and two or three others from Panguitch, whose names I did not get. They toured Pagosa Springs, Durango, Silverton and Uray, Colorado and I think she said Moab, Ut. They were trying to get ideas of what can be done in our towns to attract tourist trade. They came away with a lot of ideas and decided we are sitting on a gold mine if we will put our heads together and decide where our travel council money can be put to the best use.

Approval was given to purchase a Gas meter for the fire department.

Approval was give to buy some round tables for the com-munity center.

Work is still ongoing to try to solve a road closure problem on the Elaine Shurtz property in the North West part of town.

According to the National Confectioners Associa-tion, approximately 20 million pounds of candy corn are sold each year. TIME Magazine has named candy corn this year’s “It” fall flavor (maybe because of those controversial candy corn Oreos). But this popular candy had humble be-ginnings.

Created in the 1880s by George Renninger for the Wun-derlee Candy Company, it was then produced by the Goelitz Candy Company (now known as Jelly Belly).

Each kernel of candy corn was initially crafted by hand. Workers mixed the main ingredients: sugar, water, and corn syrup-then added fondant and marshmallow to the mixture to increase its smoothness. The mixture was poured into molds, one color at a time.

Today, machines do most of the work of creating the candy corn kernels, which are three times the size of an ac-tual kernel of corn.

At Brach’s, the top manufacturer of candy corn, the process takes 24 hours: Corn starch is poured, top to bottom, into a tray with kernel-shaped depressions.

The colors are added-yellow, orange, and white, in that order-and when the cornstarch hardens, the kernels are pol-ished, bagged, and sold. Each year, consumers buy enough of Brach’s candy corn that, if the kernels were laid end to end, they’d circle the Earth 4.25 times.

You KNOw what these are...

Here’s some fun facts...

Causes of Dry SkinDry skin is a common condition that is usually self-treatable with nonprescription products such as emollients and mois-

turizers. It may be caused by a variety of environmental, lifestyle, or medical factors.Low Humidity: Serious medical conditions can cause dry skin, but such causes are not as common as everyday fac-

tors. One of the major contributors is dryness of the air outdoors and in the home or workplace. During the summer, hot air can hold a great deal of water, making for high humidity. During the winter months, however, cold air cannot hold as much moisture, so the outside air becomes very dry. When home furnaces heat the air, it dries out even more, so that inside air in the winter has a very low relative humidity. As people live in dry air, the eyes, throat, respiratory tract, and skin all become abnormally dry.

This is easy to remedy. When the air begins to turn cold in late October or November, run a vaporizer or humidifier in each room where the family lives and sleeps. Be sure to drink a good amount of water every day to help with inter-nal hydration.

Bathing Habits: Dry skin can also be caused by bathing habits. Here are some simple steps to take. Keep baths and showers as short as possible, and use warm rather than hot water. Physicians suggest applying soap only to the face, armpits, and genital area. Switch to mild cleansers such as Aveeno, Dove, Cetaphil, or Neutrogena. Dermatologists advise taking baths only every other day. When drying the skin after bathing, do not rub the towel across the skin. Instead, gently pat the skin dry.

Recommended ProductsAfter bathing and drying, while the skin is still damp, use bath oils and emollient products to help retain moisture. The

best products are thick ointments with a greasy consistency, such as Vaseline Petroleum Jelly. Alcohol dries the skin, so prod-ucts containing it are not as good as ointments.

Avoid scratching itchy areas with your fingernails. Instead, cover any area that itches with a cool wet cloth. Nonprescrip-tion hydrocortisone ointments or creams can help if there is some mild inflammation of the skin.

When to See a PhysicianPharmacists may advise patients to see a doctor if the skin is itching but no rash is present, or if dryness and itching are

so severe that sleeping becomes difficult. Pay special attention to skin that is open or wounded. Any break in the skin can be the entry point for bacteria. The dryness itself can break the skin open, or vigorous scratching can cause open cuts or sores. If the skin is broken, monitor it closely for signs of infection (swelling, redness, heat, pain) and see a physician as soon as possible to get an antibiotic or antibacterial prescription.

Finally, if the simple steps described above to prevent or treat are not helpful, it is best to see a physician to ensure that there is not a more serious underlying medical problem.

Everyone experiences troublesome drynes of the skin at one time or another. Dryness is more common on the lower legs, arms, elbows, thighs, and sides of the abdo-men. It may be noticed as cracking, itching, scaliness and/or peeling of the skin. The affected skin may be irritated or inflamed.

Before the Great Recession of 2008 overturned many long-held financial beliefs, it wasn’t uncommon for people to differ-entiate between “good debt” and “bad debt.” The thinking was that certain kinds of debt were worth taking on because you come out ahead in the long run. Buying a home and financing a college education were two notable examples.

But when home values plummeted and the cost of a bach-elor’s degree soared into five or six digits, those once-safe in-vestments in your future suddenly seemed risky or unattainable.

Now’s a good time to step back and examine the concept of good debt vs. bad debt and why, in certain cases, acquiring debt may still make sense – provided you plan carefully and don’t exceed what you can reasonably expect to repay.

This simple distinction still applies: Taking on so-called good debt can help boost your credit rating or allow you to buy something that will increase in value over time, whereas bad debt often fuels the purchase of items that are disposable, un-necessary or rapidly depreciable.

One of the best ways to build strong credit history is to show lenders you can pay off debt responsibly. You’re more apt to qualify for a mortgage, car loan, or other large debt if you’ve demonstrated sound repayment behavior. Just remember: Car-rying multiple loans or high-limit credit cards could harm your rating, since lenders might worry you’re taking on more debt than you can repay.

Student loans. The average college graduate earns $47,422 a year, compared to $26,349 for high school graduates – a dif-ference of $21,073. Using simple math, some calculate the dif-ference in total earnings over a 40-year work life as more than $800,000.

However, such estimates don’t factor in the crippling stu-dent loan debt many graduates face or their inability to find work in a chosen field during difficult times. But still, the unemploy-ment rate among college grads is roughly half that of high school grads – 4.5 percent vs. 8.4 percent. College is still a worthwhile investment for many people if they don’t go overboard on loans and choose a degree with good earnings and employment po-tential.

Mortgages. Before the real estate crash, homeownership was considered good debt because historically, when someone finally paid off their mortgage, their home was usually worth much more than the purchase price. For many, this probably still will be true, unless they bought during the market upswing or are forced to sell before prices can recover. After all, mortgage inter-est rates are historically low and interest and mortgage points are still tax-deductible.

Just don’t buy more house than you can afford. Factor in expenses like property tax, primary mortgage insurance, hom-eowners dues, utilities and repairs – and if you get an adjustable rate mortgage, calculate how high rates could climb.

Bad debt. What qualifies as bad debt hasn’t changed since the recession, but budget-conscious consumers are paying more attention now. Meals out, excessive vacations, and unnecessary clothing or electronics – wants vs. needs – all qualify if you’re spending beyond your means. Basically, if you can’t pay the bill in full within a month or two, reexamine whether it’s a worth-while expense; particularly if you don’t have at least six to nine month’s pay stashed in an emergency fund or you’re trying to save for a car or home.

WCBA president Ted Winder reflects on service “in the spirit of cooperation”

It was on the west side of the Sunglow Restaurant in Bicknell. That area for groups, with the sliding wood doors; you know the place. Patty and her crew cheerfully took our orders and before long, amid the chatter, our tasty lunches were served. This was my first meeting with the newly-organized Wayne County Business Association (WCBA). There were about sixteen people who attended. I only knew about a third of them but I was impressed with the ideas they had and the spirit of cooperation they shared for the businesses in our area. That was nearly 4 years ago and much has happened since then.

The four key purposes of the WCBA are to provide networking opportunities for our members to know one another, assist them in connecting to resources that will help their business thrive, facilitate opportunities for training & workshops where learning and improvement take place and to promote buying local so more of our dollars can remain to benefit our community.

Yesterday (October 24) my term as President of the WCBA was completed. Capable new leaders have been elected to continue moving this organization forward. For me this has been a time of reflection on where we’ve come as an association and a look ahead to some of our aspirations for the future. Here are some examples:•Significant to me at our quarterly meetings is when two business owners are introduced for the first time and something good happens. It was thrilling to watch a young start-up landscape owner meet a motel manager who needed work done and before they left that day there was an agreement for 3 months of work. That’s networking!•When I joined the WCBA a main focus was on getting a Pedestrian-Bicycle Pathway planning process off the ground. After much work and a successful start, development of this important activity was moved to the hands of the County with the support of the Six-County Government team along with state and federal agencies. The WCBA continues to support this important project. We are pleased to help take a lead in identifying and growing new ideas.•The Torrey Farmers Market just completed its third year. People enjoy the fresh vegetables & fruits, eggs, baked goods along with other hand-crafted items that are sold here. Effort will continue to be made to expand the number of vendors and buyers for next summer. (Facebook/Wayne County Farmers Market).•The WCBA started the Heritage Starfest which completed it’s third season this month. The event continues to grow and will now become part of the Entrada Institute programing. (Facebook/Heritage Starfest).•The updated Business Guide this year included 58 paid ads and 84 listings along with 54 community ads for festivals, events and community partners (valued at $6,750). With the addition of the detailed area map, this has been a great way to introduce customers to our local businesses.•Newspaper page, by the WCBA (with the help of generous funding by the Special Service District and help from the Insider), started in January and has ran each week with articles of local business interest, upcoming community calendar and a free place for our members to advertise their specials and deals.•Our organization joined the Utah Chamber of

Commerce Association this year to take advantage of state resources and networking with other parts of Utah that face similar challenges. •We have appreciated working with the Wayne County Economic Development office to offer training and resources to our businesses. It was fun watching one business owner bring her 15 employees (many were teens) to the Customer Service training in June and to hear of the positive changes that took place in their business since then.•The Micro-Enterprise Loan Fund is a new project that the WCBA is partnering with to make capital available to launch or expand local businesses. We are in the early stages of this and hope to see grant funding in the next year.•Our hope for the future is to continue to reach beyond our 135 members to involve even more of our local businesses. The other members of the WCBA would love them to participate! We desire to partner more with our high school in facilitating internships and teaching of pre-employment skills & business etiquette.

The spirit of cooperation is our county’s greatest asset! Without that selfless effort, even with howls of criticism by some of the CAVE people in our mist (Citizens Against Virtually Everything), we wouldn’t have much of a community. I’ve come to appreciate all those who give of themselves, both volunteer and paid, in time and energy for the many good things that make our community a better place to live. Not just the WCBA, but everyone who serves on a town council, their church, an event organizing committee, in the schools, government agencies, or planning council -Thank You!!

With more than 40 years in the travel industry, Ted has directed groups in more than 60 countries world-wide. As a small business owner, he has enjoyed serving the community as the president of the WCBA for the past two years. He and his wife JaNae make their home in Torrey.

WCBA new officers election resultsThe Insider went to press before the general meeting

Cohabitation is a way of life that has become more common even among older couples. There are many rea-sons couples chose to live together rather than marry, including reducing living ex-penses, or not wanting to give up certain assets (i.e., social security or other retirement benefits) that may be lost if a person remarries. However, unless you define your part-nership through a written legal contract known as a Cohabita-tion Agreement, you may be taking a great risk.

Although you may re-gard your partner as a family member, the law may not. As a result, your partner may not be taken care of in the manner in which you wish, or inherit your estate should you pass away. Paradoxically, the law may provide certain benefits for your partner that you had no intention of giving to him or her. The courts have prece-dent to use equitable doctrines to apportion assets between cohabitants to prevent hard-ship and injustice.

It is far better to be pro-active and to define your own partnership through a Cohabi-tation Agreement, a private contract between cohabi-tants. It is a powerful tool for disclosing the financial and personal expectations of the relationship. It can prevent misunderstandings and legal battles by contractually estab-lishing the rights and obliga-tions of the parties.

The attorney drafting the Cohabitation Agreement will outline the parties’ wishes re-garding property and the pos-sible sharing of any assets, as well as the terms of the relationship. It can cover any financial aspect of the relation-ship, including, but not limited to, the distribution of property in case of death or breakup,

obligation for (or elimination of) financial support during the relationship or upon its dissolution, the responsibil-ity of each party for specific debts, ownership of the prin-cipal residence upon breakup of the relationship, definition of support, custody or visita-tion rights for minor children, specification of health insur-ance coverage, determina-tion of the right to serve as guardian/conservator in the event of incapacitation, and establishment of the right to make medical decisions. Each partner should have individual legal advice, and the contract ideally should be drawn up prior to living together.

Note that there is a dif-ference between Cohabitation Agreements and Prenuptial Agreements. Cohabitation Agreements are governed al-

most exclusively by general contract principles. They usu-ally are no longer valid if the parties marry. A Prenuptial Agreement goes into effect only upon marriage and is binding throughout the mar-riage unless modified.

From the viewpoint of Estate Planning, a Cohabita-tion Agreement can eliminate concerns that your cohabitat-ing partner may, against your desires, attempt to access your assets upon dissolution of the relationship or upon your death. Your rights and obliga-tions would have already been set forth in your Cohabitation Agreement. Conversely, a Co-habitation Agreement can help ensure that your assets will go only to your choice of ben-eficiaries, which may include your cohabitating partner if you so wish.
