CENTRAL UTAH HEALTH CAREER DAYCarrie Torgersen

Suturing, casting, taking blood pressures, and giving injections are activities you expect to see taking place in a hospital. However, re-cently high school students from south-central Utah at-tended a Health Career Day at the Sevier Valley Center and had the opportunity to try their hands at all of those skills – and a whole lot more! Sponsored by the Utah Center for Rural Health at Southern Utah University and the Utah Hospital As-sociation, the health career day brought together 120 students from Manti, Gun-nison, North Sevier, Rich-field, South Sevier, Piute and Wayne High Schools. Students who attended were divided into groups and rotated among 6 hands-on workshops. At the Med-ical Technology Workshop, Kendall Willardson from the Laboratory Science de-partment at Sevier Valley Medical Center, explained careers available in the lab-oratory science field. Stu-dents also had the opportu-nity to do a hands-on blood typing activity. Nurses from Sevier Valley Medical Center taught the participants how to suture. Students were taught basic suture knots and worked

with suturing instruments as they sutured on chicken wings. Pre-medical stu-dents from the Rural Health Scholars program at South-ern Utah University pro-vided a casting workshop, where participants were taught how to put on a basic plaster cast. Students took turns putting casts on each other, and were then able to take their casts home with them. The Snow College prac-tical nursing program pro-vided a hands-on nursing workshop. Stations were set-up and taught by the nursing faculty and cur-rent nursing students. Par-ticipants spent time in the nursing department lab and learned how to give injec-tions, take a blood pressure and proper patient care. A respiratory therapy workshop was provided by Weber State University stu-dents. Participants learned about respiratory therapy as a career, and were able to use some of the tools and equipment that respi-ratory therapists use. Stu-dents were taught how to intubate, and then given the opportunity to practice on provided dummies. Employees of the Cen-tral Utah Public Health De-partment also attended and

p r o v i d e d a work-shop where s t u d e n t s l e a r n e d about ca-reers in Pub-lic Health. In the w o r k s h o p s t u d e n t s l e a r n e d about differ-ent special-ty programs and careers available in the public health sec-tor.

The Utah Center for Rural Health coordinates these regional career fairs through support from the Utah Hospital Association. According to Dennis Mos-er, Executive Director for the Utah Center for Rural Health and Southern Utah AHEC, “These career days are used as a way to ex-pose kids from rural areas to health care careers. Ru-ral areas have a harder time recruiting and maintaining their health care workforce. If we can help encourage students from rural areas to pursue health care for their careers, they will be more inclined to come back to ru-ral areas to work.” To see more pictures from the event, or to learn more about summer camps and other activities spon-sored by the Utah Center for Rural Health for high school students, please visit www.suu.edu/ahec.

FREMONT RIVER WATERFALL AREA IN CAPITOL REEF NATIONAL PARK CLOSES FOR THE SUMMER SEASON

Following three near-fatal incidents that occurred during the 2011 summer season, the National Park Service is temporarily clos-ing the Fremont River wa-terfall area to public use during the warm weather months of 2012. With the arrival of warm-er temperatures, visitors are often attracted to the swim-ming hole at the base of the falls. Unfortunately, serious and life-threatening condi-tions currently exist at the waterfall that are not readi-ly apparent to visitors when they enter the water. Hazardous swimming conditions near the water-fall are the result of highly aerated water and the strong recirculating currents in the plunge pool. The water at the base of the falls is high-ly mixed with air resulting in a significant loss of the buoyancy that is typical of non-aerated water, caus-ing even strong swimmers to sink. In addition, strong currents on the surface of the pool pull swimmers into the falls and into danger. The waterfall located near mile marker 86 on State Highway 24 in Capi-tol Reef National Park was created in 1962 when the river was rerouted to ac-commodate the construc-tion of Highway 24. This water feature has, since its construction, been an at-tractive site for swimmers and recreationists. The dynamics of the water-fall have changed over the years, however, as the river has cut a narrow channel in the soft sandstone. This has increased the velocity of the water at the water-fall and created a hazardous water-filled slot above, and a dangerous plunge pool beneath, the falls. On June 20, 2011, a six-year-old boy visiting with his family from Wiscon-sin entered the water, was drawn under the falls, and was quickly pulled under the surface and held there by currents. The boy was under the water for sev-eral minutes before his fa-ther found him under the surface. When pulled to the shore the boy was not breathing and had no pulse. By coincidence, there were two highly trained medi-

cal professionals also at the waterfall and they rendered assistance. After about one minute of CPR, the boy was revived. An air ambulance helicopter was summoned and he was flown to Salt Lake City and has recov-ered. Again on July 15, 2011, a twelve-year-old girl from California was pulled under the surface by the strong currents while swimming and remained under the wa-ter for approximately three minutes. Noticing the emer-gency, thirty-three year old Austin Ball from Logan, Utah entered the water to assist. He was quickly overcome by the flow as well and was under the wa-ter for nearly two minutes. Both the girl and Ball even-tually floated to the surface where bystanders pulled them to shore. Both were not breathing or had pulses. In this instance, CPR was

initiated by a physician who luckily happened to be on scene. Both victims eventu-ally regained consciousness and were flown to hospitals in Provo and Salt Lake City where they recovered. Fol-lowing the incident Ball stated, “I did not anticipate just how much force the waterfall could generate, and just how turbulent the water could be. I’ve visited this area before and the flow off the waterfall is more concentrated now than it has been in the past, and is obviously more dangerous. The force it generates at its base is too great to escape.”The closure area extends from one hundred yards up-stream to one hundred and twenty five yards down-stream of the waterfall and includes the waterfall park-ing area. The seasonal clo-sure will be lifted when the weather becomes too cold for swimming.

ADULT SCOUT LEADERS HONORED

Come and get it! Food cooked in two 10 gallon milk cans was poured in the trough and now dinner is served. It was just one interesting part of the Powell Point and Pan-guitch District’s annual adult recognition program held March 28th at the Tropic Ward Building. Leave it to Jack Dillon, of Richfield, our District Scout Executive, to make a great event even better. The District Award Recognition ceremony is gener-ally held on an annul basis in each district. However, since Panguitch had not had one for several years, the two dis-tricts decided to combine their programs for this year. A big thanks goes to District Chairmen Alan Torgerson, of Escalante, and Denny Orton, Panguitch, and especially District Commissioners Carlon Johnson, Henrieville, and Lewis Barney, Hatch, for a well planned program. Presi-dent Mark Gubbler, and Executive Dave Pack, were guest speakers from the Utah National Parks Council headquar-ters in Orem. The 2nd Miler Award is presented for going above and beyond what is normally expected in helping boy scouts progress. Several were presented to individuals enrolled in various units within each district. Recognized as 2nd Milers were: Lynn Armstrong, Cub Scout Den Leader, unit 681, Pan-guitch 3rd Ward. Michelle Crofts, Cubmaster, unit 681, Panguitch 3rd Ward Charles Dalton, longtime Scouter, unit 662, Cirlceville 1st Ward Cary Deccio, Scoutmaster, unit 679, Tropic Ward Cade Harland, 11 year old Scout Leader, unit 680, Pan-guitch 2nd Ward Eric & Tammy Houston, Den Leaders, unit 680, Pan-guitch 2nd Ward Jerry Jorgensen, Aviation Merit Badge Counselor, unit 681, Panguitch 3rd Ward Kelly Lee, Cub Scout Leader, unit 680, Panguitch 2nd Ward Jessica Miller, Cub Scout Den Leader, unit 681, Pan-guitch 3rd Ward Lee & Julianne Mullenaux, Cub Leaders, unit 680, Panguitch 2nd Ward Mike Sarles, Charter Representative, unit 680, Pan-guitch 2nd Ward Jerry Taylor, Charter Representative, unit 676, Escalan-te 1st Ward Alberto Vasquez, Venturer Leader, unit 681, Panguitch 3rd Ward Justin Woolsey, 11 year old Scout Leader, unit 681, Panguitch 3rd Ward Generally only one person is presented the District Award of Merit each year. However, since the Panguitch District had not given one in recent years, three were awarded this year, in addition to the one awarded from the Powell Point District. The honor is given to an outstanding adult that year after year has proven invaluable in making scouting a special experience for boys in his unit or area. Recipients of the District Awards of Merit this year were: Scott Campbell, Scoutmaster, unit 681, Panguitch 3rd Ward Eric Syrett, Charter Representative, unit 679, Tropic Ward Wade Westwood, Scoutmaster, unit 662, Circleville 2nd Ward Timothy Smith, Cub Scout Webelos Leader, unit 680, Panguitch 2nd Ward The Powell Point District currently has 178 boy scouts registered. The Panguitch District has 261 registered. Thanks again, scout leaders, for the difference you make in our boys lives.

ART SHOW IN TROPIC: UTAH’S ROCKS

The monu-mental rocks in Utah are captured in Jodie Maur-er’s paintings, showing in Tropic at the Heritage Cen-ter. The paint-ings reveal the solitude, vibrancy, and colossal mass of the land-scape, through e x p r e s s i v e strokes in wa-tercolor or thick oil paint. They take you beyond the detail of a photograph, by portraying the character of the land and the adventure it brings. With a palette of five differ-ent oranges the paintings show the subtle changes of col-ors found in the formations. Appreciators comment on the different expressions felt as the lighting on the painting changes. Maurer admires artists Robert Henri and Georgia O’Keeffe not only for the way they painted, but largely

E-rate is a Federal Govern-ment program established in 1996 to help schools and libraries improve internet and telecommunications in their facilities. Schools can receive a discount in these services based on the num-ber of students who are eli-gible for free and reduced lunch. A strict process ex-ists for schools districts to submit for this federal fund-ing program. In the fall, the district must prepare a technology plan, a Request for Proposals (RFP) on the plan, and file a 470 form. In the spring, the district com-piles the bids and presents the bids to the school board for approval. Contracts are then signed and form 471 must be filed. In the past, Garfield School District has received about 72%-76% discounts on internet and telecommunications con-tracted services. The FCC designates the application process to promote the most cost effective and accurate solutions to be eligible for E-rate. Schools are required to select the vendor with the lowest bid. Districts must post their plans on the USAC web page for 28 days to request RFP from anyone in the world who would like to be a provider of services to facilitate the plan submit-ted by the district. Last fall, Garfield School District was approached by South Central employees ask-ing us to consider moving from an old Centrex phone system. In September, we started to look at VOIP telephones. VOIP stands for Voice over IP or phone systems that utilize the in-ternet to make long distance and local calls. The District plan was to investigate the costs related to incorporat-ing this type of system. The District’s E-rate plan was to request bids for a VOIP sys-tem which would provide a phone in each classroom along with communications between schools without long distance charges. In February, we submitted the 470 form on the USAC web page to generate RFP’s on the project. At the March 15th Board meeting two bids were reviewed to in-stall a VOIP system for the District; the two vendors were Jive Communications and Interface. The District had requested a bid from South Central on a VIOP system but did not receive one before the Board meet-ing. We realize the impor-tance of trying to support the local business of South Central, but we were at the

end of the 28 day deadline and we had to file for E-rate on the systems we currently had bids for. It should be noted we did file to have South Central as our long distance provider. A dis-cussion still exists between Jive Communications pro-viding VOIP over a South Central system which will need to be resolved in the future independent of the District. The District filed to award the bid to Jive Communications for the VOIP system. If this pro-vider cannot work out the agreement to provide VOIP we will default to our cur-rent long distance system. It was never our intentions to leave South Central out of the VOIP bidding pro-cess; we just needed a bid which we never received.

Next week I will have the results from the event; there are usually over 600 to a 1000 junior wres-tlers that take part.

for their demeanor towards painting. Henri’s advice to his students sums up this attitude, “Don’t try to paint good landscapes. Try to paint canvases that will show how interesting land-scape looks to you—your pleasure in the thing.” Maurer received a B.A. in Fine Arts at Principia College in 2011. Maurer’s paintings will be on display for sale in Tropic at the Heritage Cen-ter from 5-8 pm on Satur-day, April 14, 2012.

“…Opportunities Brilliantly Disguised

as Impossible Situations”

Sometimes patients can talk to other patients. For example, before I had my prophylactic double mas-tectomy latissimus dorsi breast reconstruction sur-gery, I wanted to talk to someone who had had it done. “Does it hurt?” I asked this one patient. “Yes, actually, it was quite painful,” she said. “Really?” “But I would do it all over again knowing that,” she affirmed. “Okay, thanks, I really appreciate your honesty.” “And it was quite long.” “Yeah, they told me that. Something like 9-10 hours, right?” “Right.” Talking to this patient, even though it was over the phone, really put things into perspective for me. Just knowing that someone else had gone through what I was about to, and had sur-vived and would do things again, made a huge differ-ence to me. Yet, speaking to her face to face would have been even better. And, remembering that, I make it a point, when a patient is re-ferred to me, to do just that. One time, actually, I met with a patient at a coffee shop. After we introduced ourselves and got some-thing to eat and drink, we sat down. “So, how are you, Su-san*?” I asked her. But be-fore she could say anything she burst into tears. When she was eventually able to compose herself, enough to speak, she said, “I’m just afraid.” Well, come to find

out, Susan, was actually ter-rified. “I’m afraid of cancer. I’m afraid I’m positive [for one of the breast and ovarian cancer mutations, BRCA] and I’m afraid to die.” Oh my goodness, I thought. She had been playing these negative thoughts over and over and over again and they were literally making her depressed and unable to function successfully in her day to day life. Her mother had been diagnosed with cancer and tested positive for BRCA. And instead of Susan finding out her own results, she just assumed the worst on everything beating herself up day after day af-ter day with these negative thoughts. Essentially, Su-san had self diagnosed her-self and was living in fear instead of in hope. After we talked some more, I asked, “So what would your life look like with cancer?” I later asked, “What would your life look like if you were BRCA+?” And then I asked, “What would your life look like if you were BRCA-?” I think each one of these questions took her by surprise –as she looked at me wide-eyed ini-tially-- yet she was able to talk about her fears openly instead of cycling them re-peatedly in her mind with nothing but negative out-comes. And she seemed overjoyed to converse with someone who had breast cancer and is BRCA + and to see that I, along with four of my sisters, who are also BRCA+, are happy, healthy and living very fulfilled lives as demonstrated from

my countenance and the pictures I was showing her. Susan’s challenge was that she was bottled with fear when she needed to be bottled with hope. By the end of our meeting, how-ever, Susan’s countenance had gone from fear to hope. She was smiling, laughing and could actually see a light at the end of the tun-nel. I don’t attribute her shift in attitude and out-look to me, but I do give all credit to an all knowing and loving Heavenly Fa-ther who allowed me to get cancer and test BRCA+ so that He could use me to do good in this world. Even in a coffee shop. Even to someone I did not know on the other side of our nation who I may never see again in this life. Yet, I do now know that miracles come in opportunities disguised as trials. “We are all faced with a series of great oppor-tunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations,” said American writer and clergyman, Charles R. Swindoll (ThinkExist.com, 2012). Therefore, what are your opportunities in dis-guise and how will you use them from this point for-ward to do His work? *Name change Cynthia Kimball is a professional speaker and trainer through her com-pany Every1Counts, LLC, and a doctoral student in Workforce Education Lead-ership.

DC CABS

Anyone who’s ever ridden in a cab in Wash-

ing- ton DC knows they’re some of the world’s most brazen drivers. Oddly enough though, their current ac-cident rate isn’t all that bad. One day I asked one of the drivers the reason for that. “Easy,” he said. “all the really bad drivers are dead now.”

DOLLAR Rachel asked her mother for a dollar to give to a little old lady in the park. Kathy, impressed by her daughters’s kindness, gave her the dollar. “There you are Rachel,” said Kathy. “But, tell me, isn’t the little old lady able to work any more?” “Oh she works!” was Ra-chel’s reply, “She sells can-dy!”

MAGIC CAR A mother gave her teenage daughter a car for her sixteenth birthday. As she handed over the keys, she explained that it was a magic car. The girl, of course, was very excited, and asked what it did. “Well,” said Mom, “Just get one ticket and you’ll see how quickly it will disap-pear.”

OFFICER SHORTCUT A Navy officer, serving on an aircraft carrier, was cutting through the crew’s quarters of his ship one day and happened upon a sailor reading a magazine with his feet up on the small table in front of him. “Sailor! Do you put your feet up on the furniture at home?” the officer demanded. “No, sir, but we don’t land airplanes on the roof either.”

BRYCE VALLEY AREA NEWSby Vicki D. Syrett 679-8687 or vickidiane36@hotmail.com

Due to a mess up on the internet this weeks news will also have the article from last week. Sorry about that but we cannot figure out what happened. Enjoy. Saturday, March 24th would have been the 90th birthday of Rella Ott Alvey. Her family had planned a celebration party for her and were very excited about it. Instead Rella went home to Heaven to live with her Heavenly Father and be with her family that had gone on before. The birth-day party became a celebra-tion of life for Rella. What a beautiful life it was. She could make a room light up by just being there and al-ways had a wonderful smile on her face. She could make you feel very im-portant with her hugs and smiles and hearing her say “I Love You!”. Her counte-nance just shone with love of the Savior, the Gospel and her fellowmen. If you had to describe an angel on earth then Rella fit that description. Everyone who knew her loved her and she will be missed by all of us. I would like to take a page from her book and my life will be so much richer for having known Rella. We want the family to know how much we all loved Rel-la and that we keep them in our thoughts and prayers. April 11th at 7:00 P.M. will be the Relief Society Social and Birthday Party. It is for sisters only and should be a fun event. Steve Clark was released from the Escalante Stake High Council so he could take on his new calling as Bishop of the Cannonville Ward. Filling that position is Marty Rich. Congratula-tions to both of you. Eva Dean Francisco is very happy this week. For four and one half days her little baby, a white dog named “Angel” went missing. She had received this dog as a gift from her daughter Robin when she was in the hospital and needing some encourage-ment. She was delighted when Earl Slack told her he had found her dog in the water hole where he turns on his sprinklers. She had fallen down there and luck-ily was unhurt. She was welcomed home into open arms. Guess she won’t go wandering for awhile. The Cub Scout Pinewood Derby was Thursday, March 29th at the Tropic Ward. Weigh in was at 5:30 P.m. The Wolf Den of Cubs will only have one den meeting in April due to conflicts and spring break. Group A will meet April 17th and Group B will meet April 24th, both at 3:00 P.M. at the BVES Library. Congratulations to Troy Sidwell on becoming a teacher in the Cannonville Ward. The Lion’s Club held their District Meeting and we will have more to report on that later. Sandy Johnson had 140 people in attendance to their family retreat. Well I guess we all know by now how much I know about running the mile and the two mile. I was so ex-cited about my granddaugh-ter Cambry finishing first in both that I made her time on the two mile REALLY fast. It was 5.55 but it was for the mile and not the two mile. Sorry I just couldn’t

help myself. The General Young Women’s Broadcast was held in Tropic and was a wonderful meeting. If you missed out and wanted to hear it you can go online or the BYU channel and see it again. This Conference week-end our grandson, Jordan Isaac Jensen was sworn into the Bishopric of his ward in Logan. He is the sec-ond counselor and we are pleased as can be. Jordan and his wife are expecting their first baby on May 10th and now at 23 his is in the Bishopric in a regular ward, not a college ward. The Bryce Valley Lion’s Club will be holding their Easter Egg Hunt on Sat-urday at the Cannonville Park. It is for every child 12 and under. Be their right at 10:00 A.M. or you will miss out on finding the eggs for your basket. The date is Saturday 7 April. The Bryce Canyon City Fire station is almost fin-ished and it looks great. What an asset to the new city this is. Gary and Sandy John-son held their 15th annual Lifferth family reunion at Ruby’s Inn this past week-end. Everyone had a great time and appreciated the great hospitality of Ruby’s Inn. Sandy was grateful that 9 of her 12 siblings and their families were able to attend, along with numer-ous nieces and nephews and their families. Gary and Sandy’s children, Hunter & Rachael Sheedy, Brady & Ruth Carter and family, Brady & Sarah Bradshaw and family, and Nathan and Essie Rigby and fam-ily were also in attendance. There was plenty of activi-ties to keep everyone busy, hiking, swimming, visiting, and a baseball game. Many family members were able to attend church in the Hen-rieville Ward on Sunday. Sandy Francisco and her parents Charlie and Eva Dean Francisco traveled up to Salt Lake City to attend the wedding of grandson, Charlie Lloyd Mortensen and Jene’ Elizabeth Yochim on March 31st. Charlie is the son of Lloyd and Hel-ena Mortensen and Helena is the Francisco’s daughter. REMEMBER this week is Spring Break and there is no School. Have a great week and be safe. Happy Easter to everyone out there Please call or email your news. Thanks VS

HOOFBEATSby Samuel Cloud

Events this week have been packed and most sig-nificant beyond all the stan-dard proportions, and I find myself sadly left behind in their wake. I cannot do even a partial justice of all the events that are transpiring, but I shall do my duty and scribble out some literature anyway. First and foremost of the highlights of this week is the FCCLA state competi-tion. The participants had the opportunity to present their projects, practice their skills of demonstrations, and enjoy a number of vari-ous workshops and activi-ties. Specific details are yet to come, but the word on the street indicates a good per-formance by all involved. Competition this year was very tough, but our people did well. Also in the news is the start of the track season. Meets are taking place ev-ery Saturday for the next month or two, and the track team is busily preparing themselves for these week-ly competitions. They are each earnestly endeavoring to strengthen themselves so they can qualify for ul-timate uberness of the BYU invitational at the end of the season. It’s a bit early to tell much about the upcoming season, but hopes are high for a successful year. The slower side of athlet-ics is also getting its start for the year. The puzzling sport of golf is off to an official start, and here as in every-where else, the participants are hard at work perfecting their skills and readying to cream their fellow rivals. The academic side of things is progressing nicely as well. The 4th quarter has officially begun, and time is short for all grades as they race towards the end of the year. Ed-net classes are progressing nicely, and the standard classes are zip-ping along as well. Against all odds, it seems like the block schedule has man-aged to succeed. Uncertain-ty abounds as to the status of next year’s schedule, but for now, at least, things are going fine. It should be noted that despite all of these signifi-cant landmarks, each ring-ing in the spring in their own peculiar way, the big-gest declaration of the up-coming season is neither academic nor athletic. The Junior Proms are upon us. All over the state, Juniors are fanatically scrambling around, desperate to out-do their many rivals. And while our Junior class is still a little behind schedule, they are just as determined to make everything as ut-terly perfect as they can. As such, I am obliged to send an official invite to all the high-schoolers and recent alumni of the area to “come and behold our bounteous glory.” (No, they didn’t ac-tually say that. I made that part up.) However, it should be noted that participation is definitely appreciated. The date is set for April, Friday the 13th. While those poor souls who are suffering from an unfortunate bout

of paraskevedekatriaphobia should probably not attend, we ask all others to “risk the doubting s of the day / and come and have fun any-way.” Just because. And despite the incred-ible length of this article and the incredible brevity that I have given to all of the individual events, the best is still yet to come. In precisely four days, we will have the opportunity to par-ticipate in one of the most-anticipated events of the spring academic calendar. The event is ....... (drum roll please) ........... SPRING BREAK!!! YES!! And not just any spring break. This year, the administration has seen fit to grant us poor souls no less than a com-plete week of our-of-school fun. Happiness is in the air, as well as a overpowering feeling of love and forgive-ness towards those who have granted us this chance to relax and get bored and actually remember the posi-tive parts of school. There are some major plans afoot throughout the valley, many of them having to do with the recently releases of cin-ema. It should be fun for sure. And now, most regret-fully, it is once again time for me to close. With luck I shall be back again next week. Farewell. The Bryce Valley Ele-mentary 5th and 6th graders went to Brian Head to have a great ski trip. This is an annual trip and they had a lot of fun and all of them came home safe and sound this year.

BVHS CHOIR... Nathan Platt

HIPPITY HOP, GIANT EASTER EGG HUNT, TO-MORROW, FRIDAY AT THE CITY PARK, AT 10 AM. AGES ALL THRU 6 GRADERS. Because of school being out all week, this is just a reminder to all parents and grandparents to bring the little ones down to enjoy the fun. There will be prizes, candy and the Easter Bunny there to greet the kids and for picture taking moments. This event starts promptly at 10:00 am, so don’t snooze or your kids will loose.

The Extended Care Cen-ter residences at the GMH celebrated Easter early ( March 31- Saturday) The families and especially the children hunted for Easter eggs, partied with the resi-dence’s and had their pic-tures taken with the Easter Bunny. This is an annual event with most all of the staff contributing to its suc-cessful. Students from the high schools ( both PHS and BV) helped hide eggs and put out candy and prizes. The Easter Bunny remains anonymous. Teri, Sharlee and Brenda gave their all to the preparation as well as the implementation of the event. A special thanks to them. Jean Julander deco-rates the Extended Care facility for events on a monthly schedule. Easter is no exception. Residence’s look forward to the decora-tions and Jean never disap-points them!

Christmas came early to the Care and Share, because of the Boy Scouts food drive pickup. Charlene Ancira reported that the good peo-ple of Panguitch donated over 1500# of goods. This is a particular slow time of year both for food out of SLC and many people out of work. Charlene and all the folks that run this ser-vice would like to thank all for the kindness from the locals. Take a bow Pan-guitch.

FCCLA club just returned from Layton and the Stu-dents were very proud of

their efforts, all seemed to be satisfied with all the work that they put in on this endeavor. Ms Caine and Laura Adams put in a lot of effort to prepare the stu-dent for the business world. Again this exposure to busi-ness situations, stresses to the student that they can compete at any level. All of the students come away winners at this competi-tion and I will let you know about any medals that were won, next week.

Time to applaud two of our students at Panguitch HS. Last Tuesday (27th) Nata-lie Perkins took MaKayla Heaton (violin) and Re-bekah Holbrook (piano) to Milford to compete in the region High School Music competition. Both young ladies came home with Su-periors. A special “thank you” to Mrs. Perkins for her time and effort to take these gals over and the commu-nity commends the girls on their Superiors. It takes ex-tra time and effort to gain a musical education when it isn’t offered as part of the school curriculum. To all parents of young musicians as well as these two young musicians your efforts will not go unrewarded BUT some times we as a com-munity fail to recognize your effort. We apologize and hope you will let it be knon so that I might rec-ognize them in this article. This was a parent who e-mailed me this informa-tion otherwise I would not have known and perhaps you would not have known either. Keep up the good work! Way to go MaKayla and Rebekah--it’s great to see your hard work recog-nized and rewarded. You represented Panguitch HS well. There were also other students in our county who received Superiors and hope they are mentioned in their area’s news.

At Leland’s Chevron, there was a notice on the board there that the State is look-ing into closing the Mam-moth Fish Hatchery. This would be a disaster to the economy in Garfield

County; this Hatchery sup-plies the fish, not only for Panguitch Lake, but Piute, Tropic and Wide Hollow reservoirs, and many of the streams in our county. When you talk to people around the Country, many of them have had someone they know that have fished up at our Lake, can you imagine what a killer this would be to the economy in Garfield County? The State spent a lot of money redoing the hatchery, after it was discovered that some of the fish had whirling dis-ease, they had to replace the runs with stainless steal, and change the filter system. Shutting down the Hatchery would cost a number of jobs of very skilled forestry personal. Let your Commissioners know that they can’t let this happen. You can go on line to protest this attack on our economy: http:/www.thepetionsite.com/1/saveMammothCreekFish-Hatchery/ , this concerns every citizen in our County, don’t wait for someone else to protest, do it your self.

My friend John Blevins told me the other day he sure was enjoying this global warming. This is the third winter in a row that weather has been consid-erable warmer than year before. Saturday it was the first time that SLC has ever had a day that was 80 degrees in March, how-ever today the temperature drop down to 40 degrees, but it supposed to warm up again during the week. Hopefully we will receive some moisture out of this storm, however with the wind it probably won’t be much. Speaking of wind, how hard did it blow, to take down the Reagan sign boards on I 15, too bad it only took down two of them.

Another sign of spring is the lines of cars around Henrie’s drive in. Easter Sunday is another sign of spring and the celebra-tion of the Resurrection of Christ on the Holiest of day in the Christian world.

PUBLIC HEARING The Town of Hatch will hold a public hearing to discuss the project determined to be applied for in the CDBG Small Cities Program in Program Year 2012. The grant will procure a new fire truck for the Town of Hatch Fire Department. Comments will be solicited on project scope, implementation, and its ef-fects on residents. The hearings will begin at 7:00 PM on April 18, 2012 and will be held at the Hatch Community Center, 49 West Center, Hatch, UT. Further information can be obtained by contacting Lucinda Josie at 435-735-4364. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, individuals needing special accommodations (including auxiliary communicative aids and services) during these hearings should notify Lucinda Josie at: Hatch Town, 49 West Center, Hatch, UT 84735 at lease three days prior to the hearing to be attended.

You are invited to meet on Main Street at the Marquee, at the intersection of Main and 1st West.

This can be a fun time as well as a very productive one, so if you can possibly lend a hand it would be very much appreciated. Later on, a few days or weeks down the line, there will be another day or two when you can clean your own yards and, if you have no way of hauling off your weeds etc. a city truck will come around and haul it off for you. So write this on your calendar and let’s get everything cleaned up so we can be proud of our little city this summer. Envision Escalante is proud to announce that, from 50 entries, the winner of the Escalante Slogan and Logo contest is………..Lori Torgerson from the Es-calante Elementary School. Lori’s concept included Canyons, Trees, the Sun and the famous Escalante “E” and will be used to cre-ate street banners and bum-per stickers. The slogan is “Escalante, where we call home.” Envision Es-calante will proudly award Lori a $100.00 prize. They wish to thank all the other folks who entered into this contest with all their great ideas. I have to apologize to Robert and Louise Liston. Last week when I told of the arrival of Brooke and Brett Palmers baby girl (whose name is Navy Del-Rae, by the way) I left them off the great grandparents list. Sorry about that! Peggy Soren invited a few neighbors and friends in last week for an “old fashioned tea party”. Those who came were: Rolain Al-vey, Margean Schow, Beth Smith, Ardis Christensen, Julie Ford, Geraldine Lis-ton, Deon Alvey, Marlene Haws and Marian Casse’. I’ll bet people in the “olden days” didn’t have all the cute Easter table decora-tions and the delicious foods Peggy served that day! Af-

ter luncheon they played Bingo until each participant won a cute prize. It was a really nice afternoon! Paula Shakespear has had a broken foot since Jan-uary, when a ladder slipped on the ice and fell with her. She has been on crutches until last week, when she got rid of them and now sports a “cute” (?) boot! We hope you can get rid of that before long, Paula! Just stay off the ladders! Carrie Griffin went to Henrieville last week to meet with family members and cousins to plan their “Smith Reunion.” They met at the home of Ernie and Wynona Henderson. Connie Jepsen and daughter, Shauna, came from Cedar City and Mar-tha Schow and her daugh-ter, Melanie Robbins, came from Scipio. They are host-ing the reunion this year for the family of their grand-mother, Martha Jane Smith, and it will be held on July 14, 2012. My son, Robert, and I had a visit over the week-end from Robert’s chil-dren, Terrilee Davis, her two children Christian and Kirra, and Justin and Mi-chelle Haws and little son, Ashton, all from Grand Junction, Colorado. We en-joyed them very much and are hoping to have a family reunion the weekend of the 24th of July this year. Congratulations to Paul and Jolene Dodge who celebrated their 44th wed-ding anniversary on Friday, March 30th, 2012. Congratulations to Dace Chynoweth and Chyvonne Stowe who will be getting married on April 14, 2012. Dace is a son of Link and Donna Chynoweth and Chyvonne is a daughter of Kathy Moody and Mike and Trudy Stowe. Darlene Woolsey has been having some health problems and is spending some time with her daugh-ter, Sherry, in Beaver. We just want her to know that she is missed and all of us wish her well. The EHS Juniors had their Junior Prom last Fri-day night. Their theme song was “Candy Land.” They had beautiful decora-tions and took lots of cute pictures. Only one thing wrong. When did all these kids get to be Juniors? They grow up all too fast! Our wrestling team at-tended the tournament at

Piute on March 24th with 9 boys participating. 3 placed first, 3 second, 1 third and two fourth. Not bad! Only 2 boys participated at the state tournament in Sa-lina on March 31st. Elias Lyman and Cody Kacin. Elias was recovering from a sick spell and didn’t place, Cody placed 3rd. This was his first state tournament. Thanks to coaches Paul Dodge and Greg Chris-tensen for the time they put in with the boys and they say, “Thanks to all the parents. We couldn’t have done it without your sup-port.” Also thanks to the school for letting them use the old gym and the wres-tling mats. Karen and Jim Rangitsch are home from their winter in Hurricane and she is do-ing much better, so “Wel-come back and stay well,” to the two of them. Shilo Sorensen, son of Laura and Ted Engberg, is recovering from surgery following a ruptured appen-dix. Hope you are feeling better, Shilo. Jillian Bull, daughter of Kevin and Shelley Porter, Parowan, is getting ready to go on a LDS Mission to the Ukraine. She is a also a granddaughter of Vergean and Carolyn Porter. I think that is the same mission Tyler Hughes is in. Maybe they will meet up before Tyler leaves to come home. Condolences to the fam-ily of LoRee Shurtz who passed away on March 24, 2012 in Mesa, Arizona. She is a former resident and a sister-in-law to Nelda Mun-son who recently passed away. LoRee was born in Tropic to Leo and Hortense Cope Munson on July 27, 1922. She was four years old when her family moved to Escalante and established Munson Grocery Store. She was from a family of nine children: Siblings, Voyle Munson, Evelyn Lay, Las-ca Woolsey, LoRell Mun-son, Orpha Spencer, Lloyd Munson, Howard Munson and Vaunda Willis. Lloyd, Howard and Orpha are the only ones still living. LoRee married Park Shurtz on September 3, 1943. They had 5 children while they lived here: Mel-vin, Janell, Donald, Gary, Steven and two more after they moved to Bountiful in 1957: Carol and Michael. LoRee was always a vi-brant, bubbly, likeable per-son and loved music. Some here remember her by one of her favorite sayings, which was, “My stars!” Funeral services were held for her in Mesa, Az. yesterday, April 4, and services will also be held in Bountiful on Saturday, April 7, at 11:00 a.m. at the Bountiful 36th Ward, 102 East 1400 South, with inter-ment following at Bountiful City Cemetary at her hus-band’s side. Don’t forget the Easter Egg hunt Saturday, 7th, at the Escalante Elemen-tary school, 11:00 a.m. For children through 6th grade. Bring your own baskets and don’t forget your cameras!

Early spring is perhaps the most beautiful time to visit Bryce Canyon National Park. Melting snow on the colorful red hoodoos create a beautiful contrast. The parks snow pack is rapidly melting on the north end of the plateau resulting in average daily tempera-tures 40 – 55° F and lows in the mid 20’s at night. Fairyland and Paria View roads remain unplowed for visitors wishing to cross-country ski and snow shoe. All other park roads and viewpoints are open, though the main road to Rainbow Point may be temporarily closed due to snowstorms. Visitors are reminded to prepare for winter driving conditions and to dress warmly for the cold temperatures at high elevation. Day hiking trails are open, but may be icy and muddy. Hiking boots or snow boots with traction devices, as well as hiking poles, are highly recommended. The Wall Street side of the Navajo Loop Trail is closed during the winter and will open later in the spring. Cross-country ski trails in the park are on ungroomed 2-track trails. The slope between the Plateau Rim and 7600 foot contour elevation is closed to skiing, snowboarding, sled-ding or sliding devices. Below the rim, cross-country skiing is permitted on the Under- the- Rim Trail and Riggs Spring Loop. Park rangers present geology talks daily and evening and night sky programs on Sat-urdays at the Visitor Center auditorium. The Visitor Center is open daily from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM and extending to 6:00 PM on April 1st. The Bryce Canyon Lodge, restaurant, gift shop, general store and public showers/laun-dry will reopen on Saturday, March 31st. Horseback rides will resume around April 1st once trails are free of snow and ice. For more information, please visit the park’s website at: www.nps.gov/brca or call 435-834-5322.

GETTING IT RIGHT BEFORE RETIREMENT: ROTH IRA 101

Did you know that many people spend more time plan-ning their vacation than planning for retirement? Although there are many ways to save for your retirement, if you are like most people, you aren’t taking full advantage of them. For example, do you understand the basics of a Roth IRA? If not, here’s a little Roth IRA 101. Right now, you may be wondering why you should in-vest in a Roth IRA if you currently have a retirement plan with your employer. The Roth IRA has many benefits that other retirement plans don’t have, and chief among them is the fact that any investment earnings may accumulate tax-free. In other words, your Roth IRA has the opportunity to grow without incurring any taxes and can be distributed to you tax free, if certain conditions are met. While there are advantages to owning a Roth IRA, there are also some rules to think about before you decide this is the account for you. First, not everyone can take advantage of a Roth IRA. You or your spouse must have earned income or compensation – this includes wages, tips or salary. However, be aware that earned income or com-pensation does not include rental, interest, dividend, pen-sion annuity or deferred compensation income. Second, your modified adjusted gross income cannot exceed cer-tain limits to make a full contribution. For single people, your modified adjusted gross income must be less than $107,000 and $169,000 for married couples filing jointly. Contributions you make to the account are not tax de-ductible and may be withdrawn any time without tax or penalty which may provide you with needed flexibility. But before taking withdrawals from your Roth IRA you need to determine if you are receiving a “qualified distri-bution.” Any withdrawal that is not a “qualified distribu-tion” can result in income taxes and IRS penalties. For example, any earnings on your contributions will be sub-ject to income taxes should you decide to withdraw them prior to age 59 ½ and the five-year holding period (contact your state Department of Revenue for state taxation rules). In addition, withdrawal of these earnings prior to age 59 ½ are also generally subject to a 10% IRS penalty. Tax and penalty free withdrawal of your Roth IRA earnings for “qualified distributions” can be made once a five-year holding period is satisfied and one of the follow-ing applies: you have reached age 59 ½, you have become disabled, the funds are used for a first-time home purchase (subject to a $10,000 lifetime limit) or the funds are dis-tributed to a beneficiary after your death. After thinking over the rules, if you are eligible for a Roth IRA you may be wondering how much you can con-tribute. For 2011, you may make regular contributions that do not exceed $5,000. If you are 50 or older, you can also make “catch-up” contributions of up to $1,000 per year for a total contribution of $6,000. A couple of other important items worth noting – contri-butions to your employer’s retirement plan do not exclude you from making contributions to a Roth IRA, and owning a traditional IRA does not prevent you from setting up a Roth IRA either (although contributing to a traditional IRA for the same year will limit the amount you can contribute to a Roth IRA). Whether or not you decide a Roth IRA is the right retire-ment account for you, it’s always smart to plan ahead and save money for the future.

WEDDINGS TORREY NEWS Adus F. Dorsey II

Uncle Hal Covington passed away last Wednes-day morning of an unde-termined lung disease. Hal passed away peacefully and surrounded by family. Hal Covington was a long time fixture and as recognizable as the Main Street Trees in Torrey. He was easy to talk to and always had a story to tell, and once he started tell-ing them to you, you knew you were going to be there a while. Hal’s folks, June and Florence Covington, bought the Wayne Umpire (the present day Chuckwag-on store) from Grand Pa Port (Ephriam P. Pectol) in 1943, and added their name on the store front. They remodeled the upstairs of the store into an apartment where they and their chil-dren lived. Hal often shared fond memories of the early days living above the store. When Hal would be-gin to tell you stories of the early days, his eyes would glaze over as if he were drifting back in time. Lis-tening to him tell a story was like really being there. The sights and sounds of early Torrey came alive in your mind and played out like an old scratched up black and white movie. Old men like Charlie Lee and Grand Pa Don, sat around in the store on Main Street spitting, weaving yarns lon-ger than your leg and avoid-ing work. Hal once told me, “life was slow motion in those days; there wasn’t no need to get in a hurry when there was good conversa-tions to be had”. Hal’s passing has been cause for much reminisc-ing among folks in Torrey this week. Everyone seems to have a Hal story; I know I have some and I will al-ways cherish them. Lucky for us, Hal took the time to write his stories down for all to enjoy (a good lesson we should all learn) and it was his way to make sure we never forget the way things were. Hal Covington was a wonderful human being, a good friend to all, and he will be sore-ly missed. Thanks for the memories Hal! On 29 March 2012, at the Camp Radiare Torrey DUP Building on Main Street in Torrey, the Torrey Town Council held a “public hear-ing”, to hear comments on the proposed Torrey Town Annexation Policy Plan as presented and prepared by the Torrey Town Planning and Zoning Committee, and

required by the Great State of Utah. The near complete Torrey Town Council heard com-ments from “out of town” residents and some “in town” land owners about the proposed “Annexation Policy Plan”. Some vocal Torrey council members offered their personal ex-periences, ideas and an-nexation insights. In the audience attendance, there was only one “out of town, Wayne County resident” that expressed resistance of annexation and requested more clarification on in-creased town participation and taxation. No gun shots were fired, no insults slung, and in general the Torrey Town Annexation Policy Plan “Public Meeting” was considered to be another success. There was some insinuation, that the Loa Elementary School Spring Festival celebration might have been a scheduling conflict. Either way, every-one that attended the “Tor-rey Annexation Policy Plan Public Hearing”, walked away alive, and the Wayne County Swat Team and Wayne County Sheriff’s department surely were re-lieved. Those in attendance at the “Spring Festival” en-joyed a fine performance by the talented Loa Elemen-tary school children. In upcoming weeks, Jones & DeMille Engineer-ing of Richfield, Utah, Tor-rey Town’s hired engineer-ing firm, will be scouring the area surveying, explor-ing and making four wheel-er tracks all over Torrey Town’s water service area. As part of a 1.6 million dollar grant / loan agree-ment with the Community Impact Board (CIB), Tor-rey Town will be upgrading many mountain spring sup-ply lines and water line sup-ply equipment. Also as part of the Torrey Town water project, isolation, pressure sustaining / reducing, and air valves will be installed to increase the serviceabil-ity, and provide consistent water supply pressures and increased fire protection. This important 2012 culi-nary water improvement project is part of Torrey Town’s long-term commit-ment to continually seek, explore and acquire Utah State and available grant funds to improve the Torrey Town water delivery system in an attempt to enhance efficiency and constantly

improve fire protection and reduce area residents home owners insurance costs. The present Torrey Town administration has consis-tently expressed a desire to explore new ways to in-dependently pay “our own way”, according to the pow-ers that be. “Annexation into the Torrey Town limits is a way to do just that”, as stated by members of the Torrey Town planning and zoning committee. Torrey Town graciously supplies extended services to more residents and businesses outside of the Torrey Town limits than actually exist in the Torrey Town limits, according to Torrey Town Public Records. The Sand Creek Irriga-tion Company turned water into the pipes of Torrey on Friday the 30th of March, under the watchful eye of President Dean Bogedahl. By Saturday morning sprin-klers all over town were making morning rainbows; a sure sign things are going to be turning green soon. Can you say Hallelujah!! The Torrey Canal also saw water flowing for the first time since last fall. Jed Pace and his crew, all in waders, stayed ahead of the flowing water clearing the way leaves and canal debris as fast as was humanly pos-sible. Thanks Jed for your dedicated efforts, your re-ward will surely be awaiting you in heaven; hopefully folks along the canal are ap-preciative too. The yearly tradition of “turning the water in” has been taking place since the beginning of time; it is the elixir of life and manna from heaven, and a natural resource that never should be taken for granted. In an attempt to keep Tor-rey Town debris free, prop-erty owners and ditch users are requested to remove any and all debris from town property. Your attention to this detail would be appre-ciated. For years publicly minded Torrey Town residents have been painstakingly picking up Keystone Light beer cans intentionally strewn about town. A reward is being of-fered for any information about the “Keystone Light Litterbug or bugs” true identity. A larger reward is being offered for a picture of the “Keystone Light Lit-terbug” in action, and a 30 box of Keystone Light will be rewarded to the culprit if he cleans up his mess and turns himself in.

DO YOU HAVE AN ESTATE PLAN? The simple answer to the a b o v e q u e s -tion is y e s .

Even if you have never signed a will or trust, you have an estate plan. Some of you may be asking, “How?” The answer is the state has a “default es-tate plan” for those without their own. In Utah, if you die with-out an estate plan, the law provides that your entire estate will be distributed to your spouse if he or she is alive unless you have children from a prior mar-riage. If you do not have a surviving spouse, the estate will be distributed to your children and if a child pre-deceases you, then to that

child’s children. If you have no surviving children or grandchildren (common-ly called your “issue”), then your estate will be distribut-ed to other relatives. If you have a surviving spouse and children from a prior marriage, one-half of your estate will be distributed to your surviving spouse and one-half to your children. Although the state “de-fault estate plan” attempts to represent what most peo-ple would want to do with their estate if they had done their own estate planning, it may not be what you want. There are many concerns about relying on the state’s “default estate plan.” If you rely on the state’s “default estate plan,” your desires may not be met when you have children from a prior marriage. As previously stated, the

state’s “default estate plan” provides that one-half of your estate will go to chil-dren from a prior marriage and the other one-half to your surviving spouse. Of-ten, it may be desirable to allow the surviving spouse to have a lifetime interest in all or a part of your estate until his or her death and at that time the estate could be distributed to your chil-dren. Additionally, if you marry later in life, you may desire that all your assets be distributed to your chil-dren from a prior marriage because your surviving spouse has sufficient assets of his or her own. Hopefully, you can see that although we may all have an estate plan, it is very beneficial and some-times crucial that you take the time and effort to de-velop your own estate plan and not rely on the “default estate plan” established by the state legislature.

SUPER BALL (Not BOWL) TRIVIA (Or...how the SUPER BOWL got it’s NAME)

A SuperBall (originally Super Ball) or bouncy ball is a toy, invented in 1964 by chemist Norman Stingley by compressing a synthetic rubber material under high pressure. It is an extremely elastic ball made of Zectron, which contains the syn-thetic rubber polymer polybutatienne, as well as hydrated silica, zinc oxide, stearic acid, and other ingredients with sulfur at a temperature of 165 degrees Celsius and at a pressure of 80 atmospheres (1,175 psi). The Super Ball has an amazingly high coefficient of restitution . Dropped from shoulder level, Super Balls snapped nearly all the way back; thrown down by an average adult, it can leap over a three-story building. Toys similar to SuperBalls are more generally known as bouncy balls , a term which covers other more or less similar balls by different manufacturers with differ-ent formulations Toys similar to SuperBalls are more generally known asbouncey balls, a term which covers other more or less similar balls by different manufacturers with differ-ent formulations. After Stingley invented the synthetic rubber, he tried to find uses for it and some-one to manufacture it. He offered his invention to the Bettis Rubber Company (for whom he worked at the time). They turned it down because the material was not very durable. So, he took it to the toy company, Wham-O and they worked on developing a more durable version. This version is still manufactured by Wham-O. “It took us nearly two years to iron the kinks out of Super Ball before we produced it.” according to Richard Knerr, President of Wham-O. “It always had that marvel-ous springiness.... But it had a tendency to fly apart. We licked that with a very high-pressure technique for forming it.” Soon they were selling millions When the SuperBall was first introduced, it became ahuge fad. Peak production was over 170,000 superballs per day. By December 1965 over six million had been sold, and US Presidential adviser McGeorge Bundy had five dozen superballs shipped to the for the amusement of the staff. Knowing that fads are often short-lived, Kerr said “Each Super Ball bounce is 92% as high as the last. If our sales don’t come down any faster than that, we’ve got it made.” Initially the full size Super Ball sold for ninety-eight cents at retail; by the end of 1966 its colorful miniature versions sold for as little as ten cents in vending machines. In the late 1960s Wham-O made a “giant” superball, roughly the size of a bowling ball, as a promotional stunt. It fell from the 23rd story window of an Australian hotel (or some reports say, from the roof) bounced back up to the 15th floor and, when t came back down, it destroyed a parked convertible car. The composer Alcides Lanza , in his composition Plectros III (1971), specified that the performer should use a pair of Superballs on sticks as mallets with which to strike and rub the strings and case of a piano. Lanza purchased several SuperBalls in 1965 as toys for his son, but soon he started experimenting with the sounds they made when rubbed along the frame or strings of a piano. Several years later, Plectros III resulted. After watching his children play with a Super Ball, Lamar Hunt, founder of the America Football League, coined the term SUPER BOWL. In a July 25, 1966, letter to NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle, Hunt wrote, “I have kiddingly called it the ‘Super Bowl,’ which obviously can be improved upon.” Although the leagues’ owners decided on the name “AFL-NFL Championship Game,” the media immediately picked up on Hunt’s “Super Bowl” name, which would become official beginning with the third annual game.

PUBLIC INVITED TO GLEN CANYON DAM LTEMP ALTERNATIVES

DEVELOPMENT MEETING The public is invited to participate in a two-day meeting on alternatives be-ing considered for inclu-sion in the Glen Canyon Dam Long Term Experi-mental and Management Plan Environmental Impact Statement being prepared by the Bureau of Reclama-tion and the National Park Service. The meeting will be held on April 4 and 5 at the High Country Confer-ence Center located at 201 West Butler Avenue Flag-staff, AZ 86001. The preliminary draft alternatives being consid-ered for evaluation will be presented and discussed at the meeting hosted by Reclamation and the NPS. Stakeholders and other at-tendees who have alternate development proposals should have those ideas fleshed out and ready to present. Power point slides and posters are welcome. Those who RSVP will have their presentation listed on the meeting agenda. Possible changes to Glen Canyon Dam operations and other actions by the De-

partment of the Interior will be evaluated as alternatives in the LTEMP EIS. Alterna-tives to be considered in the EIS must meet the purpose and need of the LTEMP. The EIS will document and evaluate the impacts of the alternatives. The EIS is expected to lead to a long-term plan that could determine changes in water release patterns from Glen Canyon Dam and also define a framework for continued experimenta-tion leading to an improved knowledge base and protec-tion of resources. Dam op-erations, and related actions being considered, have the potential to affect hy-droelectricity production, beaches for river recreation, native fish and other aspects of the Colorado River eco-system including plants, animals, and archeological sites in Grand Canyon Na-tional Park and Glen Can-yon National Recreation Area. The plan will ensure that releases from the dam and other actions being consid-ered will meet the goals of

protecting the resources of the Grand Canyon and Glen Canyon while continuing to supply water and power for communities, agriculture and industry. More information on this meeting and other project news will be an-nounced through social me-dia (Reclamation, the NPS Intermountain Region, and the Grand Canyon Twit-ter feeds [#gcltemp] and Facebook pages) and on the project website: http://ltempeis.anl.gov. To have your name add-ed to the mailing list for future information, visit the Glen Canyon LTEMP EIS website (http://ltempeis.anl.gov) listed below.
