FISH CREEK COVE – Prior to this summer, Wayne County resident Scott Berry didn’t spend much time think- ing about Hantavirus. That changed in early June when Berry’s thirty-three year old son, Dane, contracted Hantavirus while staying at his parents’ home in Fish Creek Cove. For several weeks it was a very scary situation as Dane fought for his life in the inten- sive care unit at the Salt Lake Regional Medical Center. Dane is extremely fortunate in that he survived and is now doing well. Hantavirus causes a deadly disease of the lungs called Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS). Because the majority of people who con- tract HPS die from the disease, the family considers them- selves very lucky that Dane survived. But it’s the nature of how Berry’s son contracted HPS that has him thinking a lot more about it since this sum- mer’s incident. The Berry’s have had a cabin located on Fish Creek Cove—about seven miles or so south of Torrey— for over 30 years. In 2010 they tore down the old cabin and built a new small home in the same location as the old structure. As Berry says, “The structure is brand new and as tight as anything you can find in Wayne County.” The official literature about Hantavirus largely dis- cusses the risk of getting the disease as a result of clean- ing up droppings from deer mice—as one would do in sheds or garages that are not mouse-proof. Deer mice are the only known carrier of the virus, and according to a release this week from the Central Utah Public Health Department, “Activities that can put people at risk are: im- properly cleaning up mouse urine, droppings and nests; cleaning a shed or cabin that has been closed for some months; and working in areas where mice and rats may live (such as barns).” The disease risk comes from breathing air borne rodent urine and drop- pings that contain Hantavirus. Dane, however, engaged in none of these activities pri- or to becoming infected with Hantavirus. Dane lives in Ot- tawa and was visiting his par- ents from June 8 through June 18, while on vacation with his wife and their nine month old daughter. (Dane spent some years growing up in Wayne County, and attended Wayne Middle School.) During their visit Dane and his wife slept outside on the deck. The best guess that his father, Scott, can surmise is that deer mice had at some time been running along the deck and had urinated on a foam pad or on a pillow where Dane had been sleeping. Dane had already left his parents’ house for the Salt Lake area prior to becoming sick. HPS is known to take about two weeks to incubate, and initial symptoms are char- acterized as a fever greater than 100.5 degrees F and muscle aches and chills. Dane developed flu-like symptoms and eventually had difficulty breathing, and was admitted to the hospital on June 28. “The surprising thing for us is we’ve spent practically our whole life here recreating outdoors. I’ve traditionally ig- nored mice as a nuisance, nev- er thinking they are a danger. Now I think that is too casual an attitude,” says Berry. Berry says he’d never even seen deer mice near the house during the day, but as an experiment he put out some bucket traps, and caught five deer mice the very first night. “Turns out they’re all over the place,” he says. Now, Berry is working to reduce deer mouse popula- tions near the house. For ex- ample, he is no longer feeding birds because the fallen bird seed attracts lots of rodents. But while he is definitely tak- ing more precautions about ro- dent exposure than before, he doesn’t think it makes sense to become overly paranoid about Hantavirus risk. “With so many people sleeping outside it still seems like a pretty rare event,” he says. Indeed it is. There have been just 587 reported Han- tavirus cases in the U.S. be- tween 1993 and 2011, with 25 of those cases in Utah. How- ever in May of this year, two Utahns died from Hantavirus, one in Millard County and one in Utah County, the first fatali- ties in the state from the virus since 2009. The Central Utah Public Health Department says you can a help prevent infection by avoiding contact with any rodents and their droppings, as well as activities that stir up dust around rodent-infested areas. Now that Hantavirus has been identified in Wayne County, they are warning peo- ple to be cautious about rodent contact. In situations where it is necessary to clean up ro- dent urine and droppings, the CUPHD provides the follow- ing guidelines: Wear a mask, glasses and rubber or plastic gloves. Spray urine and drop- pings with disinfectant or a mixture of bleach and water, getting the area very wet, and let it soak for five minutes. Use a paper towel to wipe up urine or droppings and throw the pa- per towel in the garbage. Mop the area with disinfectant or bleach solution. Wash gloved hands with soap and water or spray a disinfectant or bleach solution on gloves before tak- ing them off. And wash hands with soap and warm water af- ter taking off your gloves. The recommended clean- ing solution is a mixture of 1.5 cups of household bleach and 1 gallon of water. A smaller amount can be made with 1 part bleach and 10 parts water. Insider staff report wayne County Hantavirus Case a “Close Call” Are Your Pets’ Vaccinations Up-to-Date? PANGUITCH - A re- cent case of rabies in Garfield County has spurred public health officials to urge all pet owners to check their pets’ ra- bies vaccinations records, and to update rabies vaccinations if necessary. Rabies is a fatal disease of the nervous system caused by a virus. It usually results from a bite or contact with an animal with rabies. Rabies has been detected in a bat found in Panguitch. Southwest Utah Public Health Department and the City of Panguitch advise all pet owners to check the vacci- nation status of their pets. The frequency of rabies vaccination boosters pets need depends on whether a 1-year or 3-year vac- cine is administered. Best Friends Animal Sanctuary has offered to give the rabies vaccination to pets for free if pet owners bring their pets down to Kanab. For more information call 435-435- 644-2001 extension 4210. For those who cannot travel to Kanab a vaccine clinic will come to Panguitch in the month of August. The date for this will be determined and re- leased to the Panguitch City of- fice soon. A community effort is needed to protect against ra- bies. By vaccinating your pets against rabies, you protect them, yourself and your family, because your pet will be less likely to bring rabies into your house. If you find a bat do not touch it.

Miriam took first place to become the new Utah State Junior-Junior fiddle champ. She will repre- sent Utah in the “Jr-Jr Certified Winners” division in June 2013 at the Fiddle Nationals in Weiser, Idaho. In a fiddlers contest, players prepare one or more “sets” for the contest. A set consists of a hoe- down, a waltz and a tune of choice, and must be performed in four minutes or less. Fiddlers may have up to three accompanists. This is usually gui- tar, but could be other instruments. If it goes into a second round (or more) the new set may not include any pieces already played. Three judges sit in the orchestra pit and the contestants are identified only by numbers so that the judges don’t recognize the players. Fiddlers are rated in four areas: danceability, old-time style, rhythm, and tone. The winner of each division plays a show piece at the Winner’s Contest that evening where they are awarded a plaque and money. Division winners have their entry paid to the National Fiddle Contest. Miriam has been studying the violin since age 6 when Megan Cottam established her violin studio in Garfield County. She is the daughter of Clay and Rebecca Wagstaff.

PANGUITCH - Kailey Remund, age 12, came home to Panguitch from the 2012 National Little Britches Rodeo Association finals with four buckles and a world champion saddle.

Kailey set her goal when she left the finals last year that she would come home the 2012 Little Britches world champion barrel racer. She worked hard all year to get maxed out on points. Kailey maintained a positive attitude and determination towards reaching her goal.

“At the last nationals I set my goal to be in the top seven and I did that. And this year I set my goal to win The World, and I practiced every day,” says Remund.

Remund says she competed against more than 100 contestants from all over the country in the Junior girls barrel racing finals. She said she ran all 15s, with her winning times being 15.7s and a 15.6.

She won a buckle in first go and short go. She also won the average buckle. And a saddle as well as a buckle and scholarship for finishing 2012 with the highest points in barrel racing.

She competed on several different horses throughout the year to get to the finals, including her grandma's rodeo horse she calls Sugar Mamma. Kailey competed on Sugar Momma at the finals to win the average which gave her enough points to win the world. The girls that she competed with all year have become some of her best friends and were the toughest competition at finals.

We were all excited to see Kailey achieve her goal, and be able to be there and be a part of the excitement. We are proud of Kailey for her hard work and positive attitude.

Kailey is the daughter of Lance and Jessica Miller of Panguitch and Danny and Shelby Re-mund of Preston, Idaho.

Remund has already set her goals for next year: “I’m planning to do an extra event and I set my goal to get a saddle in every event I do!”

CAPITOL REEF N.P. - Hale and Elberta peaches will be available for harvest at Capi-tol Reef National Park’s historic orchards. The Krueger Orchard, located about 1.5 miles east of the visitor center on Hwy 24, will open at 9am on Tuesday, August 21. There is no charge for fruit consumed in the or-chards; however, the charge for fruit taken from the orchard is $1.00 a pound. Fenced orchards are open from 9am to 5pm. Un-fenced orchards remain open during daylight hours. Scales for weighing fruit and pay stations are provided in open orchards. Both Elberta and Hale peaches are freestone.

Additional fruit harvest information is recorded on the Capitol Reef Fruit Hotline as fruit ripens and specific harvest start dates are determined.

The fruit hotline may be reached by calling (435) 425-3791. Once the park number connects, press one for general information and, at the voice prompt for the orchard hotline, press five.

Climbing fruit trees is not permitted in the park. The Na-

Hale and elberta Peach Harvest Opening Soon at

Capitol reef tional Park Service provides special fruit picking ladders. Use care when picking fruit and care-fully read and follow the posted instructions on fruit picking and ladder use.

Receipts from the fruit sales help defray the cost of maintain-ing theorchards. The historic Fruita orchards are the largest in the National

Park System and were es-tablished beginning in the 1880s by pioneer residents of Fruita.

Utah’s general archery buck deer hunt will begin in just a few days. As the start of the hunt nears, reports provided by Division of Wildlife Resources biologists share a common theme:

1. Deer herds on many units are doing well—lots of fawns were born in 2011, and most of the fawns survived the mild winter of 2011-2012. Good numbers of young bucks should be available on many of the state’s 30 general-season units.

2. It’s been hot and dry across Utah this summer. On many units, finding water will be the key to finding the deer.

This year is the first year general archery hunters will be limited to hunting on one of 30 new deer hunting units in Utah. For the past several years, archery hunters have been al-lowed to hunt statewide.

Also, as you’re hunting this fall, please remember to ride your all-terrain vehicle only on designated roads and trails. If

Hunters might see more young bucks

Utah’s general archery buck deer hunt starts August 18, 2012

you take it off a designated road or trail, you and other hunters might lose your privilege to use ATVs on public lands in Utah.

Although the overall number of deer is still below the units’ objectives, the deer herds on both the Monroe and Fishlake units are showing im-provement over last year. The combined effect of good fawn production in 2011, followed by a mild winter, means good num-bers of yearling bucks should be available to you this fall.

The buck-to-doe ratios on both the Monroe and the Fish-lake units have also improved. After the hunts were over last fall, the ratio on the Monroe unit was 14 bucks per 100 does. The Fishlake unit had a buck-to-doe ratio of 19 bucks per 100 does. Because this past winter was so mild, most of these bucks made it through the winter. And that means more bucks with large antlers should be available on these units this fall.

SMALL TOwN, BIG HeArT wayne County Youth Plan Central America Service Mission

LOA – A group of youth ranging in age from 14 to 19 have put together an eight day service mission itinerary for March 22 – 30, 2013. They, along with adult chaperones, have partnered with an accredited organization in order to offer their time and service to a small farming/agricultural community located in Central Costa Rica. The focus of their service will be working with the chil-dren at a local orphanage in a varied array of activities including caregiving and education. This group has put several months of planning into this event and are all anxiously looking forward to sharing this experience.

Loryn Blackbun, a 2013 Senior at Wayne High School and Sterling Scholar Candidate, has led the majority of communications and fund raising efforts for this Mission, including two activi-ties at the upcoming Wayne County Fair – The Rubber Ducky Derby and the Cowpie Contest.

Starting off today we would like to welcome Erica Walz as the new editor of the Insider. We wish her the best of luck in her new adventure. We know she will do a great job. We will miss Ryan however and wish him well in his life. If you have something you would like in the paper it is still the same email address as before: [email protected] and they will receive it and publish it. You can send your news to me at my email address: [email protected] and I too will take care of it. They like pictures emailed rather than faxed so re-member that. Thanks to all who support us as we try to get your news out.

Because of the sadness we have all experienced over the last few weeks I would like to use this quote from President Gordon B. Hinck-ley. He said it at a funeral of a friend and it applies to all of us: “What a wonderful thing is death. Really when all is said and done it is the great reliever. It is a majestic, quiet passing on from this life to an-other. A better life. I am satis-fied of that. We go to a place where we will not suffer as we have suffered here, but where we will continue to grow. Ac-cumulating knowledge and being useful under the plan of the Almighty. Made possible through the atonement of the Son of God.” It is a great help to read this to those that have that belief in a life hereafter. Thanks for your indulgence in letting me print this.

On August 4th, Miriam Wagstaff participated in the “Utah Old Time Fiddlers” State Fiddle Contest. The re-sult. . .Miriam is the new state Fiddle Champ in the Jr-Jr Di-vision (ages 9-13). Congratu-lations Miriam and to every-one in the Jr-Jr second round, the competition was stiff and it was an exciting round! Miri-am is the daughter of Clay and Rebecca Wagstaff of Tropic and the granddaughter of Mel-

vin and Virginia Wagstaff of Henrieville and the Fred Wag-staffs of Cannonville. We are all so proud of Miriam’s ac-complishments and wish her well. You will find a more de-tailed article elsewhere in this paper.

Mary-Miller and Carl Boyd recently enjoyed a week with their granddaughters from Georgia. Madeline and Allyson Cheshire had a fun, busy week in Tropic with their friends. Allyson especially enjoyed the Bar G Wranglers show at Ebenezer’s Barn and Grill at Ruby’s. Both girls love to trail rid in Bryce Can-yon and their day of learning to sew with Kay Shakespear.

Carl and Kay Shakespear helped to move their son Paul and his family up north. They also went to Kanab on Sunday for a grandson’s ordination to a Deacon.

Well we have one less with us now as grandson Alex Frahm went back home to get ready for being a Senior at Roy High School. He is the son of our daughter, Karen. Joshua Jensen will be staying

another week and then he too will be a Senior at Richfield High School. We sure will miss them but are delighted to have our Granddaughter, Joan-na Jensen staying through De-cember with us. She has been here since the first part of May and it has been a joy having her here. My house had never been more organized. Now if she could teach me the meth-ods to keep it that way. Joshua and Joanna are the children of our son David and his wife Debbie of Central Valley.

Have a great week and be sure to send an email about your news or call. Thanks VS

During the 2012 summer reading program, we had a boy and girl that read more than anyone else. Destiny Saunders of Bicknell, read 4,200 minutes, while her younger brother, West, read 3,800 minutes! They have been visiting me regularly at the library and I love it! Congratulations, you two, for being our BEST readers! The Summer reading program is to promote reading during the summer vacation period. Children can lose up to a grade level in reading if they do not read during their summer break. Come visit your local library and keep your kids reading!Faun Jackson, Tri-County Bookmobile Library

Summer reading Program

Destiny and west Saunders: This Summer’s Best readers

I had an opportunity to interview a woman, Susan Dalton, whose name has been changed for the purpose of an-onymity, who is a recovering alcoholic and has been inves-tigating the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Hopefully, this short inter-view with give hope to others struggling with addition of any kind.

KIMBALL: So, Susan, huge congratulations to you for not drinking anymore. What was it like to stop?

DALTON: Extremely hard! It even cost me to go into seizures. And I spent time in the hospital. They had to give me “banana bags”; an IV with yellow liquid in it with all kinds of minerals and vitamins you might be lacking. I lived on IVs for a couple of weeks. I was also anemic. I did not go into a rehab, but that is what is recommended.

KIMBALL: That’s really awesome that you stopped!

DALTON: Thank you. I had a desire to. You have to have the desire to quit drink-ing. The desire has to be there. And it has to be the right place and right time. It has to be where you really want to be, sober.

KIMBALL: Anything else in addition to desire?

DALTON: Honestly, I don’t know, but I’m going to

say it has to do with Heav-enly Father and Jesus Christ and investigating the church. I don’t know what hit me. I don’t even know what it was, but something hit me and it helped me. You know, I was bad off. I was clinically dead three times. Something in the church hit me where I stopped drinking and said, “Okay, I can do this. I can turn my life over to God.” I needed to have something to believe in.

KIMBALL: What’s a typical day like?

DALTON: It’s still hard, but I’m taking one day at a time.

KIMBALL: I understand that you’re currently preparing to be baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints…

DALTON: …correct.KIMBALL: Good for

you, Susan. Good for you. And why did you choose to do this?

DALTON: Because I want it. Because I feel it. It’s just right.

KIMBALL: What have you learned thus far about the gospel of Jesus Christ?

DALTON: I’ve learned about friendship, hope and faith.

KIMBALL: What would you to say to someone who is struggling with addiction who wants to change and find hap-

piness through the gospel like you are?

DALTON: Again, they need the desire. They have to have that desire. Without that investigating may not work. And there may be some things that you disagree with, but you have to see the good of everything. You have to be taught and investigate the questions you have. You need the willingness to learn and then you’ll feel the glory of the gospel, the way of Joseph Smith, the other prophets, etc. You have to invest and learn and then afterwards are the rewards. You just feel good and that’s the truthfulness of the church, to me anyway, and then there’s a light, and then you get the reward of learning.

KIMBALL: Any last words?

DALTON: How much do you want to feel good? How many days have you been sick and tired of being sick and tired? If you are, it’s never too late to change.

LOA - Geneve Turner is celebrating her 90th birthday. She was born August 16, 1922 in Bicknell, UT. She’s been married to Garn Turner for 68 years. They have six children. She’s lived an exciting, storytelling life. She resides at the Serenity Springs assisted living, in Loa.

We love you, Mom. Happy Birthday.

Are You Hurt?A policeman arrives at the

scene of an accident, in which a car smashed into a tree. The cop rushes over to the vehicle and asks the driver, “Are you seriously hurt?”

“How do I know?” the driver responds. “I’m not a lawyer!”

wrong Airport Three-year-old Sean was

playing with his food on his plate.

His father, an airline pi-lot, picked up Sean’s spoon, put some peas on it and said, “Zoom, zoom. Open your han-gar. Here comes an airplane.”

Sean clenched his teeth and then said, “Wrong airport, Daddy.”

Abstract Noun“An abstract noun,” the

teacher said, “is something you can think of, but you can’t touch it. Can you give me an example of one?”

“Sure,” a teenage boy re-plied. “My father’s new car.”

The NecklaceA tourist was admiring

the necklace worn by a local Indian.

“What is it made of?” she asked.

“Alligator’s teeth,” the Indian replied.

“I suppose,” she said pa-tronizingly, “that they mean as much to you as pearls do to us.”

“Oh no,” he objected. “Anybody can open an oys-ter.”

Passport Photo

Unfortunately, getting a new passport required a new photo. As I handed my ten-year-old passport and the new picture to the clerk, I sighed. “I like the original better,” I told her.

“Trust me,” she said. “Ten years from now, you’ll like this one.”

Craig and Karen Hone are pleased to announce the marriage of the daughter

AmberLee Hone to

Trevor Justin Peterson

son of Justin and Gina Peterson,on August 10, 2012. The bride to be is a 2011 graduate of Dixie High School

and is currently employed at Southwest Spine and Pain at Valley View Medical Center in Cedar City.

The groom is a 2009 graduate of Panguitch High School and is attending Southern Utah University to continue his

education to become a Nurse Anesthetist. The couple plans to make their home in Cedar City.

August 16th! Summer is almost gone and school will soon be starting AGAIN! It seems like the kids haven’t had much of a break. They have been attending sports camps and school related events all summer!

Sue Bassett retired at the end of the school year, then spent a month in France on vacation. She had a little po-tential fender bender in the busy streets of London. She on her bicycle, the other guy in a Mercedes. But, except for that being a rather frightening experience for her, everything turned out okay and neither of their fenders were bent!

She is back home now and, even though she is re-tired, she will be working with our children again at the el-ementary school as a teachers aid. She says she has a home in Parowan but is not ready to leave Escalante yet and that’s good because we are not ready to have her go.

Susan Shurtz and her two sons, Lenza and Zach, went on a trip to France (?) this sum-mer, but they haven”t given me any details yet!

Vergean and Carolyn Por-ter celebrated Carolyn’s birth-day, in Cedar City, with their kids on August 7th. “Happy Birthday, Carolyn!”

Eve Marsh spent a few

days in Salt Lake, then after she came home her two sisters, Mary and Ruth, came here to visit her. The three of them are triplets!

Our condolences to Ann (King) Reynolds and family, at the passing of their husband and father, Tom Reynolds, Panguitch. Funeral services and burial were in Boulder, Utah on Saturday. Tom was one of Escalante’s native sons.

Tina Griffin puts out a report on Mark’s condition periodically. (Mark suffered extensive injuries in a car wreck two months ago). He is in the Utah Valley Hospital now and Tina’s report this past week was very optimistic. She says his body is finally start-ing to heal, he is free from infections, his spirits are up and his mind is sharp. He was actually able to be wheeled out into the sunshine one day, after two months. He still has a long way to go but Tina is hoping they can be back home in St. George before too long. Gene’s and Thais’s whole fam-ily takes turns visiting Mark and Tina and they really ap-preciate all the love and sup-port they have been receiving from everyone.

The Escalante Lion’s Club (The original one) is celebrating their 50 year an-

niversary this year. This club has made many worthwhile contributions to the city of Escalante in those 50 years and they still continue to do so. This is the group that first began to decorate main street with lights on Christmas. They lit the big pine tree that, until just a few years ago, stood in Neal Liston’s front yard (Now owned by Jalene and Dwight Vance). That was when they had to climb the tree to get the lights up into it! They were instrumental in getting our first TV service into town, and have maintained the towers up until the time the county took them over. They poured cement and placed the picnic tables at the park, they remod-eled and helped maintain our first clinic, built the first fire house and bought the first fire engine, and so many other things. They are still taking charge of the parade on the 24th of July, including the float for the bandwagon that morn-ing, members of the club take turns at the little log cabin in-formation station, they police 5 miles of highway 12 twice a year, contribute to many proj-ects, sometimes unmentioned, and the list goes on. Congratu-lations to this group on their many years of service. Some of us remember and appreciate

all that you have done.Peggy Soren fell and

broke her leg. She has been walking around on crutches and is scheduled for an op-eration on it soon. Julie Ford, Howard Hutchison and Sheila Mickey accompanied her, on the bus, to get it taken care of.

Ben and Renee Porter had a visit from their son Coy and family of Provo. They brought friends with them who liked it here so well they wondered if they could make a living here!

At the city council meet-ing last week, Katie Crosier (our Postmaster’s wife) was appointed to a planning and zoning alternate position. We appreciate your willingness to serve, Katie!

Rick and Helen Pruitt, Richfield, were in town on the weekend visiting with Helen’s mom, Florence Alvey.

Elaine Lott had surgery last week. We hope she is feel-ing better by now.

Bev and Bill Kuhns were on the receiving end of the lightning last week when it struck close enough to take out some of their electrical ap-pliances. The rain also washed their road up pretty well. It took Bill a couple of days to get that back in shape. Bev said it was a pretty frightening experience.

Gardens are producing in quantity and quality all over Wayne County. For those of us that were not gifted with the “green thumb” we have been watching with envy as every vegetable conceivable has mi-raculously risen from ground in our neighbors’ and friends’ gardens. A favorite pastime for many of us is having the grow-ers name all the different kinds of greens that they nurtured into existence. Driving around Wayne County these days is like being in the biggest veg-etable section in any store you have ever been in. Larry Estridge has a fine assortment of arugula, John and Margaret have plenty of horse radish (John says a little bit goes a long ways), Randy can barely supply enough okra from his garden in Caineville to up-county residents, and if you want some you would need to pull him over at the park boundary to get some because he can barely get to Torrey be-fore it is all gone. Dee Hatch of Loa has been working his gar-den since spring, his peppers should be ready and he told me he had to plant them three times. Dee is the most gra-cious and garden-knowledge-able person I know—he can tell more garden stories than the Jolly Green Giant. Miss-ing the most is Ramola Wool-sey working in her garden on the corner of River Road and Highway 24, she has always been like everyone’s Ma that has spent every summer in the garden and always glad to see

you if you stopped by. It is a sad commentary when our flags spend more time at half-mast than flying proudly at the top of the pole. It is hard to think of colorful Colorado or Wisconsin the same without thoughts of senseless human tragedy coming to mind. And it is a hard thing for most law abiding citizens to understand how anyone could get to a point in their life where think-ing that taking the lives of in-nocent people would make our world a better or more under-standable place. Faun Jackson at the Wayne Library has been seeking com-ments on the summer reading project and how the program makes a difference. From my observations the Wayne Coun-ty reading program is as im-portant as water wings and the swimming pool in the summer. The entertainment value alone is better than the endless re-runs of Law and Order or Ses-ame Street. My guess is that all the Wayne County kids that regularly attend the summer reading program will some day be bringing their kids to sit and listen to stories told about Winnie the Pooh, Arthur and a dozen other imaginary char-acters I have been introduced to this summer. What better way to spend quality time with your children than to read with them, and it gets even better when you can take them to the library to have fun with Faun. Faun, your reading program is the highlight of the sum-mer for a lot of us kids. Write

or call Faun and let her know what you think. A local report of a stranded camper in the Sand Creek area was cause for quite a stir on the Wayne County Facebook page last Friday, prompting frantic emergency calls to the Fishlake National Forest for-ester Ranger Allan Rowley in Richfield. Although Zeph Smith, son of local residents in Torrey, had only recently en-tered into the Sand Creek area to seek some much needed solitude and private contem-plation, his long sought after isolation was inadvertently interrupted by an over zealous rescuer and a local concerned citizen. It is well known that Sand Creek can be notori-ously hard to navigate after a storm. Unbeknownst to the semi - stranded Zeph Smith, who had turned off his cell phone to save his battery for emergencies, it was posted on Facebook that he was up Sand Creek “without a paddle” so to speak. Unknowingly Zeph’s need for solitude and private camping contemplation be-came the hot topic of an in depth discussion and concern on Facebook. As of Sunday afternoon at 12:00 p.m. Zeph Smith reported to local au-thorities he had courageously and miraculously forded the mighty Sand Creek and was safely reunited with his wife and kids. All rescue efforts by Special Forces, National Guard, Fishlake National For-est personnel, Wayne County Sheriff’s office and Search and Rescue, Ron Moosman construction and Torrey Town maintenance equipment and employees were instructed to stand down. Flash floods are serious business, anyone venturing into the backcountry here in Wayne County during the summer monsoon season is reminded to be prepared with a sturdy shovel and be sure to carry plenty of cash or your Gold account Visa Card in the event of an emergency. If you happened to venture through Torrey this week-end it was visibly noticeable that something big was hap-pening at the Robbers Roost Bookstore. The 6th annual Women’s Redrock Music Fes-tival filled motels, restaurants, stores and anything with doors

wide enough to get in with fes-tival goers and high powered performers the likes of inter-nationally famous Toby play-ing along with a local favorite Vicky Thorn from Boulder. Crystal Bowersox, American Idol runner up, was the head-line act preceded by a full host of fantastic performers that kept the Woodstock-sized crowd engaged and highly en-tertained. As Arthur Adleman stated “the performers spoke and sang my feelings to a T”. Specialty booths were at a pre-mium, you could buy a vintage guitar from Barry with Ard-vark instruments, purchase lo-cally handmade exquisite jew-elry and Prehistoric Artwear from Donna Sall, get a glitter tattoo, adopt a homeless ani-mal from Dottie Weaver, win a Bud bike, and eat a number of delicacies from local food arti-sans at the festival. Festival or-ganizers reported a record turn out and a wonderful crowd. In preparation for the Wayne County Fair this week in Wayne County there were many Wayne High FFA and 4H members showing ani-mals at the Sevier County Fair. Notably visible was Jessica Grundy, Wayne High’s FFA instructor and a number of her students showing their prized animals. The hog classes were particularly entertaining and had many observers in the crowd seeking BLT’s from fair vendors after the competi-tion. Following the hogs were 14 classes of prime, finely groomed sheep raised locally by the likes of Brigg Black-burn and many other FFA members in Wayne County. The steer competition was a sight to behold; the Kerry Cook family from Fremont were serious contenders in the steer classes. In a short con-versation with McCoy Brian near his stall McCoy shared some of his secret steer train-ing techniques about how he prepares for competition. Sworn to secrecy and under the threat of being physically led up and down Main Street in Loa behind a John Deere tractor with a steel nose ring installed I can’t divulge this important information. Support the Wayne County Fair. Saddle Up and see you there…

CANNONVILLE - Hyrum Abel Christensen, 86, passed away August 13, 2012 in Pan-guitch, Utah. He was born May 18, 1926 in American Fork Utah to Hyrum M and Rosa Abel Christensen. He married Sylvia Jean Bradshaw December 18, 1950 in the Salt Lake City Temple. She pre-ceded him in death September 13, 1993.

Hyrum served honorably in the Pacific Islands during World War II . While in the military he was gunner on a B-29 bomber. He also earned his wings. One of his greatest accomplishments during his service was being part of the group of pilots that dropped supplies to the American POW’s in Japan.

Hyrum spent much of his life educating others. He taught science and math at Tooele Jr. High for over 30 years. While there he was known by many as the “mad scientist” that had “gross things in bottles at the back of the room, beakers and Bunson burners with strange things brewing, always wore a lab coat and he had a skeleton in his closet.” He also taught in Leysin, Switzerland for a year, and at Sorenson’s Boys Ranch in Koosharm.

He was an avid bicyclist until he had the opportunity to ride a tricycle. From then on he was on three wheels more than his two feet.

He enjoyed spending time hunting, using both archery and rifle. He was know to tell people that he was a good hunter, just not a very good finder. It was the time spent in the hills with family and friends that meant the most to him. He even has a current archery permit for this year.

He was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and held many callings. While living in Tooele he was the music director for 15 straight years.

He loved music of all kinds. He learned how to play many instruments including piano, bari-tone, flute, trombone and drums. He even tried his hand at some lesser known ones such as the didgeridoo and the mandolin.

He loved the town of Cannonville. Even though he only spent three years there he felt like it was home. The family would like to express their thanks for all the acts of kindness that were shown to him.

He is survived by children: Sylvia (John) Henderson, St. Paul, NE; Mary Lynn Christensen, Eagle Mountain; Brad (Beverly) Christensen, Tooele; Paul Christensen, Taylorsville; George (Kar-en) Christensen, Nampa, ID; Rosa Dover, Hurricane; Sarah (Daniel) Rose, Henrieville; and Dawn Wright, Salt Lake City; 22 grandchildren and 26Great grand children. and 1 Great-great grandchild on the way; siblings: Mary Ellen Welling , Tremonton; LuEva Palmer, Fruitland, ID; Afton (Paul) Curritt,Cashmere, WA; Peggy (Don) Bateman, Issaquah, WA; Rosa May (Burt) Smith, Perry; Vir-ginia (Mark) Farman, Greenacres, WA; Georgia (Verl) Garrard, Salem, OR; Meda (Owen) Mur-phy, Tremonton.

Also preceded in death by parents; sister, Ann Methley, brothers-in-law, Burt Smith, Earl Glen.

Larayne LeFevre Lindsay

PARAGONAH/PANGUITCH - LaRayne LeFevre Lindsay 54 of Paragonah, Utah was embraced back to Heaven on August 13, 2012. She was born on December 4, 1957 in Panguitch, Utah to Ike LeFevre and Ada Nay LeFevre. She was a proud Pan-guitch High alumnus. She was married to her sweetheart Kriston Lindsay on April 13, 1974, and they made their lives together in Panguitch, Cedar City, Parowan, and currently in Paragonah.

LaRayne was known by all for her service to the communi-ty, loving heart, and sense of humor. LaRayne was self-employed as a Realtor at ERA in Southern Utah. She worked at Parowan Elementary for fifteen years as an aide and completed her CNA before beginning her journey with ovarian cancer. LaRayne sup-ported her children in all they did and never missed a chance to go to a high school game or dance competition. She also served in the Little League, Booster Club, and PTA. She was a strong supporter of the Search and Rescue and for many years was the president of the Ladies Auxillary. She enjoyed sewing, crochet, and embroidery, and shared her talents with many. She loved books and served as president of the Paragonah Literary Club and also served in the local DUP leadership. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints she had an en-during faith and cherished the time she was able to work in the St. George Temple. Her pure happiness and joy was spending time with her grandchildren. LaRayne was an absolute delight and even in her final days, she was gracious and maintained her humor by making jokes and telling stories to her family.

The family would like to express their gratitude to all the doctors and nurses that have cared for LaRayne and the great support received from many friends in the community.

LaRayne is survived by her husband Kriston Lindsay; her children Kit Lindsay of Heber City, Kenneth Lindsay (Chantel) of Moab, Amanda Porter (Kamden) of Midway, and Rebecca Lindsay of Orem. She is survived by six grandchildren; Tyler, Sydney, Mickelle, Kash, Addyson, and Taygen. She is also sur-vived by her sister Raelynn Johnson (Bill) of Paragonah, and Jerrold (Jerry) LeFevre (Deanna) of Panguitch.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, August 18, 2012, at 11:00 a.m. in the Paragonah LDS Chapel. Friends may call at the ward chapel in Paragonah on Friday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. and again at the ward chapel on Saturday morning from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Burial will be in the Panguitch City Cemetery at 3:00 p.m. Funeral Directors: Magleby Mortuary, Richfield, Sali-na and Manti.

SO, YOU HAVe A TrUST, NOw wHAT? FUND IT, FUND IT, FUND IT!

By JEFFERY J. MCKENNA

You’ve wisely decided to create a trust. You have provided for control of your property during your lifetime, in the event of disability, and after death. One of the great advantages to having a trust is avoiding probate. However, the advantages disappear if you do not fund your trust.

Funding is the process of transferring your various as-sets to your trust. The type of asset determines the method of transfer. If you think in terms of how you obtained the as-set, you will have a clue to transferring it. For example, you obtained your house when you received a deed. In order to transfer real estate to your trust, a deed is prepared from you, as the present owner, to you, as the trustee of your trust. Once the deed into the trust is record-ed, the transfer is complete. Let’s look at some other com-mon assets and see how they are transferred to your trust:

· Motor vehicles - re-title the vehicle in the name of the trust (note however that in many states including Utah, Nevada and Arizona, motor vehicles can usually be trans-ferred upon death without pro-bate).

· Bank accounts, in-cluding CD’s - a change of name form is filled out at the bank or credit union.

· Savings bonds - special forms are pro-vided by the Federal Re-serve or your bank.

· Stock certificates - the transfer agent for the stock is contacted and a change of name form is com-pleted. A signature guarantee may be required.

· Brokerage accounts - similar to individual stock.

· Personal property - a document called an assign-ment or bill of sale is executed that transfers all categories of personal property that do not require special treatment.

· IRAs and other “Quali-fied” money – never transfer OWNERSHIP of this type of account to your trust. Trans-ferring ownership would trig-ger all taxes and penalties that result from withdraw-ing this special asset. Rather than transferring ownership the

bene f i c i a ry designation(s) may need to be changed.

N o t e : If you have accounts or policies with b e n e f i c i a l designations, IRAs, life in-surance, an-nuities, etc., make sure that the des-ignations are

consistent with your current estate plans as they will con-trol where that property goes.

Some of the assets you transfer to your trust will be covered by one or more insur-ance policies. For example,

your home is usually cov-ered. The insurance company should be notified to add the trust as an “other insured.”

Just keep in mind that a little paperwork is required to fund your trust. Once your trust is fully funded, future additions will be relatively simple.

FYI PANGUITCHBy: Mack Oetting ~ E-mail: mackoetting @gmail.com

Sorry about last week, we were taking our Granddaugh-ter Teah to Seattle for her new adventure in Medical School at the University of Washing-ton. We did the sights while we were there, our usual six-teen hour days, so much to see there, the Space Needle, Pikes Market and the Univer-sity. We took the ferry out to Vancouver Island and Victo-ria. Victoria is like an English City with flowers everywhere, they have over 1400 hanging plants, throughout the City. We went out to Butchart Gar-dens, it is an amazing place, put it on your bucket list. The trip there was very interesting, you certainly learn of the need for water. The Yakima Valley with a river running through it is planted with a variety of crops as far as you can see. Much of Idaho is barren, but where there is water it does re-ally well. Going to Seattle put our family’s mind at ease, it’s a great City and we feel Teah is safe there.

A couple of our girls are also venturing out to greener pastures. Jennifer Perkins is off to St. Louis to work in En-vironmental ( I think) Therapy at the hospital there. Hailey Sawyer, our former pro bas-ketball star is off to Fort De-fiance in Ohio. She is going to be an assistance basketball coach. While she is there she will be working on her Mas-ters Degree. If you had seen Hailey play ball in the 5th and 6th grades, Fort Defiance fits right in there with the way she played ball. Her mother who was the coach learned early on that you don’t pull her out of a game. Good luck to these young ladies; these are big changes in their lives.

We have a couple of re-cent retirees, George Whiting and Karen Swanger. George

retired after 25 years from Garfield County, as a truck driver and maintenance man. George retired at the end of May and is keeping busy with honey-do jobs, for his wife, Vickie. Karen has been the long time Post Mistress here in Panguitch and retired at the end of July.

Working in the Post Of-fice is very stressful and Karen is taking a long needed vaca-tion. The Post Office, rather than close some of these small offices in Hatch, Circleville, Tropic and Escalante, is do-ing away with the Post Mas-ters position and replacing them with clerks. Panguitch’s new Post Master will be over these smaller offices and will be someone from somewhere else. I hope I got this right. Good luck to George and Kar-en, retirement is great as long as you keep busy.

Hope you saw the center fold paper about the County Fair, it starts today. If you get to half of the events you are going to be worn out by Sunday. I like what they did to the fish grab, they split the pond and the fathers are go-ing to have to jump in on the big kid’s side. Don’t miss the Commissioners free lunch, it will be hosted by the Pan-guitch Lions Club, with ham-burgers, hot dogs, chips, wa-termelon and drinks, all free. You can purchase tickets for the DEMOLITION DERBY there, they will be $7:00 till 3 pm. and $10:00 after that and at the gate. Save some room for dinner—there will be a full concession stand. There is so much to do and to see at the fair, come on out and enjoy.

Adam Sawyer got an early start on the Demoli-tion Derby. While towing his number 13 car around town, his tow strap broke and he

launched his car off the trailer. It went up a driveway across a lawn, just missing a house and stopped against the wheel of a car parked in the driveway. Adam has always used the number 8 before in the derby, and maybe he should go back to it.

Those of you that would like to get in shape, Nikki Dastrop (her maiden nane) is running a boot camp program, called Operation Tonergy. Nikki has been a long time Personal Trainer and those that already are in the class can see the effort that it takes pays off. Instead of doing the same exercise over and over, she is constantly changes the work-out. This is held at the Social Hall at 6am and 7pm on Mon-day, Wednesday and Friday.

The High School sports are starting up; the baseball team has already played 5 games. It doesn’t seem that they are going to let up any in their quest for a repeat as State Camps. These are some of the scores: St Joe, 29-0, Wayne 19-1, and Piute 4-0, in the five games only one run was scored against them. Last Tuesday the Lady Cats got off the season with a game against Beaver and will be going to St. George on Friday for a tourna-ment. Cross Country is also under way, it’s going to be quite a fall sports time. Next week will start up the sport section.

The Olympics are over and weren’t they grand? Pat and I seemed to have been traveling at this time of the year and missed the last two. The USA won many medals in a lot of events, some of the events I never heard of, air rifle shooting and dual diving teams, to name a couple. Eng-land did a super job and must have made a bunch of bucks,

80,000 at attendance to see the women soccer champion-ship game, sell outs at all of the venues and over a million attended the woman’s bike race. Even if the events were run 8 hours earlier, it didn’t matter. If you didn’t know the outcome it was fun. Michael Phelps won 22 medals over three Olympics and 18 were gold, something that will nev-er be duplicatedagain.

Where did the summer go, only one month to go, school starts this Monday. It just doesn’t seem fair, sum-mer is only four months and winter is eight. This summer had some unique solar events, starting with the full solar eclipse, followed by Venus crossing the sun. For both of these events you will have to wait one hundred years to see again, however in August we have a blue moon, with a full moon on the first and another on the 31st.

This event will be re-peated again in August 2015, so you won’t have to wait so long.

We have a new owner of the Insider. Erica Walz has purchased the paper from Ryan Davis. Erica lives in Escalante and has spent the last three months in training, driving from Escalante to Loa. The Insider is our main com-munication in Garfield County and is greatly appreciated, many thanks to Ryan and good luck to Erica.

Enjoy the Fair and De-molition Derby

Mack O.

Ed. note: Thanks, Mack! Now that I have a w-a-a-a--y better idea of what it’s taken Ryan to build and produce this paper these many years, he does deserve lots of apprecia-tion. And...he’s been great to work with during this transi-tion! —Erica

Naming the new Mars rover...

The following is the essay written by Clara Ma, winner of the Mars Science Laboratory naming con-test. Twelve-year-old Ma submitted the winning entry, “Curiosity.”

“Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in every-one’s mind. It makes me get out of bed in the morning and wonder what surprises life will throw at me that day. Curiosity is such a powerful force. Without it, we wouldn’t be who we are today. When I was younger, I wondered, ‘Why is the sky blue?’, ‘Why do the stars twinkle?’, ‘Why am I me?’, and I still do. I had so many questions, and America is the place where I want to find my answers. Curiosity is the passion that drives us through our everyday lives. We have become explor-ers and scientists with our need to ask questions and to wonder. Sure, there are many risks and dangers, but despite that, we still continue to wonder and dream and create and hope. We have discovered so much about the world, but still so little. We will never know everything there is to know, but with our burning curiosity, we have learned so much.” BTW: Ma actually SIGNED the rover before its’ launch!!!

Don’t know about you...but these words renew my faith in today’s youth!!!

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

Treating the Middle Fork of Sheep Creek is the first step in bringing native Colorado River cutthroat trout back to the creek

Hundreds of lakes are waiting for you in the Uinta and Boulder mountains.

Paul Birdsey, cold wa-ter sport fisheries coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources, says some of the best summer fishing in Utah is found at high-elevation waters in the state. Those wa-ters include lakes in the Uinta Mountains in northern Utah and Boulder Mountain down south.

Birdsey says trout feed actively when the water tem-perature is between 55 and 65 degrees F. “Fifty five to 65 de-grees is the ideal water temper-ature for trout,” he says. “It’s also the water temperature the high-elevation lakes remain at throughout the summer. That’s

Uinta Mountains, Boul-der Mountain. While high-elevation waters throughout Utah provide quality fishing in the summer, the Uinta Moun-tains and Boulder Mountain are among the best places to try.

If you visit the Uinta Mountains in northern and

northeastern Utah, you’ll find a wide variety of opportuni-ties. Those opportunities range from lakes next to state Route 150 (the Mirror Lake High-way) that are stocked with fish weekly to backcountry lakes that you have to hike or ride a horse to reach.

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

says.The lakes on Boulder

Mountain in southern Utah are usually harder to reach. But the lakes there are more pro-ductive and usually produce bigger fish. “Some of the lakes on Boulder Mountain provide really, really nice fish,” Bird-sey says.

On the fun-o-meter, I’d probably rank back-to-school shopping right above getting a flu shot and preparing income taxes. Never mind the hassle of figuring out what our kids need for the coming school year and dragging them to the mall, it’s just so expensive.

For example, our son insists that we replace his baseball glove and bat as he enters 7th grade. (He’s right – his four-year-old mitt has seen better days.) Also, our daughter is starting soccer and needs cleats – good ones aren’t cheap and footwear is one area where we refuse to scrimp.

Many years ago my wife and I learned our lesson and started setting aside money each month for the inevitable – and unexpected – expenses that crop up each fall. By trial and error – and sound advice from fellow parents – we’ve developed a back-to-school budgeting checklist:

First, calculate how much you can afford to spend on school-related expenses with-out blowing your overall bud-get or racking up debt. Scoring

WAYNE CO. - 4-H was a big deal when I was growing up! I remember with fondness going to Leta Oyler’s home for our weekly 4-H sewing class! Maridee Hatch, Eunice Oyler, Vivian Taylor, Nyra Taylor and I were learning to sew our very first skirts . Next came our baking class with Madge Taylor. We learned to make delicious golden loaves of bread! I will always be grate-ful to those faithful volunteers that took the time and effort to lead a 4-H club.

The Wayne County Fair was an exciting time. I remem-ber being so anxious to see if a blue ribbon was attached to my entry, and having my entry be chosen to go the State Fair was like winning the lottery! 4-H clubs were available all

over the county then and 4-H is still alive today!

This year we celebrate the 100th birthday of 4-H in Utah. It started in Cache County in 1912 with “potato” clubs and by 1914 there were nine types of clubs in Utah: Potato, corn, market garden, apple, poul-try, sugar beets, and mangels, bread making, flower garden and sewing.

4-H originated in Ohio where it was started in 1902. Utah State University runs the local 4-H programs through its extension offices.

This year in Wayne Coun-ty’s 4-H program, our youth have had the opportunity to participate in Mock Legisla-tion at the State Capital, travel to Washington D.C., partici-pate in Junior Youth Confer-ence in Ephraim, Intermediate Camp in Price, Teen Retreat in Eagle Point, Leadermete and State 4-H contests, participate in Science, Engineering, Tech-nology nights, attend sewing camp, cooking camp, and sci-ence camp, soccer, participate in a multitude of service proj-ects, and show livestock in the Sevier County Fair to name a few.

Hopefully many 4-H ex-hibits will be entered in the Fair this year with money be-ing awarded for ribbons. Also, articles will be chosen to go to the State Fair and the exhibitor will be given free tickets to the State Fair.

4-H offers hands-on learning experiences for ev-eryone no matter what their interests. 4-H teaches life skills such as responsibility, citizenship, service, and lead-ership. 4-H helps develop self-esteem, public relations skills, public speaking skills, and self-confidence.

How to Save on Back-to-School ShoppingBy Jason alderman

bargains won’t help your bot-tom line if you end up paying interest on unpaid balances.

Next, make a comprehen-sive list of anticipated expens-es for each child and build in a cushion for unexpected costs. Try these strategies:

Examine previous years’ bills and compare notes with other, more experienced par-ents.

Ask the school which supplies they expect you to buy. Pool resources with other families to take advantage of volume discounts and sales.

Spread clothing purchas-es throughout the year so your kids won’t outgrow everything at once; plus you can take ad-vantage of off-season sales.

Review school dress codes so you don’t waste mon-ey on inappropriate clothing.

Before buying new cloth-ing or accessories, look for “gently used” items in the clos-ets of your older kids, friends and neighbors, at garage sales, thrift and consignment stores, and sites like Craig’s List.

Find out how much extra-curricular activities (athletics,

music, art, etc.) cost. Account for uniforms, membership dues, private lessons, field trips, snacks, etc.

Compare the cost, conve-nience and nutritional value of school lunches and snacks ver-sus food you prepare yourself.

Learn your school’s poli-cy on immunizations and see what’s covered by your insur-ance – or which ones you can access free at health fairs or community clinics.

Factor in public transpor-tation, school bus or carpool expenses.

Although shopping on-line can save money, time and gas, don’t forget shipping and return costs, which could undo any net savings. If your kids are old enough, put them in charge of online comparison shopping.

Clip newspaper and online coupons. Many stores will match competitors’ prices even if their own items aren’t on sale. Plus, many consolida-tion websites post download-able coupons and sale codes for online retailers.

Mobile shopping apps let in-store smartphone and mo-bile browser users scan prod-uct barcodes and make on-the-spot price comparisons, read reviews, download coupons, buy products and more.

Some parents wrestle over whether or not to take their kids on shopping trips. I think it’s worth the effort so they can hear and absorb your decision-making process and understand what’s available to spend. My kids are probably sick of hearing me say, “I’m going to buy this brand of underwear because it’s cheap-er, which will give us more money to buy a better-quality jacket.”

Bottom line: Back-to-school shopping can be te-dious, but if you plan careful-ly, you can save time, money and aggravation.
