WAYNE CO - Most of us can readily get behind the idea of doing our shopping with local businesses for the sake of supporting our friends and neighbors.

LeTTerSThis letter is an appeal

for County-wide support for the proposal from the Wayne County Commissioners to the Forest Service of July 20, 2012, to allow and facilitate a salvage program for the fire-killed timber on Boulder Mountain (from the Lost Lake Fire). I believe this proposal is one that we can come together in support of – and it needs our help.

The Commissioners ac-knowledged that much of the area is inventoried as roadless. They made the argument that Wayne County’s unemploy-ment rate is the highest in Utah and there is a need for timber for local mills. It seems there is considerable fire-killed timber that could be harvested from existing roads, reducing poten-tial for future fires; beetle and budworm-killed trees could be harvested from existing roads. They appealed for “innova-tive ways to involve local op-erators and their crews as well as local workers to help with other restoration projects. Re-moval of fire-killed and deca-dent aspen to improve wildlife habitat would be a beneficial action.” This proposal went to Allen Rowley, Forest Supervi-sor of the Fishlake National Forest, with copies to our Senators and others, as it must be approved at the National level. Having been into the burn area it seems important that this type of program hap-pen. Clearly, other areas of the forest also need cleaning out to reduce fire threats. There are many existing roads from which this can happen.

Rather than extreme poli-cies such as “Get rid of all re-strictions on logging” or “No logging on the mountain,” there should be ways to adapt to existing circumstances without opening up the forests to greater destruction. What I hope most people in Wayne County might agree upon (as well as those visiting our

An Appeal for Adaptive Forestrypublic lands from elsewhere), would be a cleaned-up for-est with sustainable logging by locals – no big corpora-tions coming in to clear-cut vast areas and destroy wildlife habitat and pollute water, no biological and chemical weap-ons to kill vegetation and poi-son the soil, not chaining but rather thoughtful culling of the forest – the removal of fallen timber, dead and diseased trees, some mature trees, done by small, local businesses us-ing mechanical means, only, on a scale to allow for perpet-ual harvesting and continual renewal of the forest. Log-ging guided by forest science, not by maximum profit at the expense of the forest. Such sustainable logging can create jobs and income currently, yet does not destroy the land, its beauty, animal habitat and the future economic potential of tourism and recreation. Why not find solutions and policies that create a win-win situation, instead of the current win-lose framework we seem to be stuck in?

America’s “founding fa-thers” had in mind a knowl-edgeable and involved citizen-ry when our government was created. If the Commission-ers’ proposal seems appropri-ate to you, the best support (or opposition if you are so inclined) would probably be letters to Senators Hatch and Lee, requesting immediate ac-tion at the National level, with a copy to Allen Rowley, For-est Supervisor of the Fishlake National Forest. Addresses can always be obtained off the Internet. Because this is public land belonging to all of us, all citizens have the right to make their voices heard. Policies that benefit “the whole,” both in the short-term and the long-term - policies that are win/win, as I believe this proposal to be - need to be encouraged.

RICHFIELD - Winter in central Utah is a wonderful time to expe-rience your national forest. Whether you enjoy snowmobiling, skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing or just driving into the forest, safety should be first on your list. Being prepared for the cold and planning for the unexpected can make the journey more enjoyable and ensure that you return home safely.

First, make sure you tell someone where you’re going, who you’re with and when you plan to be back. Give them an emergency contact number, such as a cell phone number they can call if you’re late. Also, get their number so that you can call if there’s an emergency, or if you think you’ll be late.

Pack a survival kit for your car with blankets or sleeping bags, extra warm clothes, food, something to start a warming fire and plenty of drinking water. It’s also good to have a tool kit with jumper cables and a tow rope, as well as a shovel and kitty litter should you get stuck.

Dress in layers so that you can adjust to changing weather condi-tions. Modern synthetic garments and wool are best for keeping you dry and warm. Avoid cotton such as denim. When wet, cotton wicks heat from your body and is slow to dry. Wear a wool hat or cap—up to 75% of our body heat is lost through the top of the head.

Finally, before you go know the current and expected weather forecast as well as any avalanche warnings.

Visitors should have a copy of the Fishlake Travel Map to help them know where they can travel on the forest. Pick up a free map at any Forest office.

Think “Safety” when Visiting the National Forest

PAGE, AZ – Recent mon-itoring samples from Lake Powell have revealed evidence of microscopic Quagga mussel larvae and the National Park Service (NPS) has accelerated laboratory and field efforts to identify the source, reported Glen Canyon National Rec-reation Area Superintendent Todd Brindle. Quagga mussel larvae and DNA were found in separate water samples col-lected near Antelope Point and Glen Canyon Dam. “We don’t know yet if there is a popula-tion trying to establish in the lake,” said Brindle. “The DNA can last after the organism is dead, so there is a possibility that it could have washed off boats that had been in other in-fested waters.”

NPS aquatic ecologist Mark Anderson provided ad-ditional details on the sam-pling results. “The bodies of four larval mussels were found in four different samples near

1. What life stage of Quagga mussel was found?

The larval stage was found. The larvae detected in Lake Powell appeared to be about half-way through their development and were about the thickness of a human hair. DNA was also found in Lake Powell, but it is not specific to a life stage. DNA is pres-ent in any Quagga mussel tis-sue from egg to adults. We can only tell DNA was present.

2. Where were micro-scopic larval mussels found?

The bodies of four larval mussels were found in four dif-ferent samples near the Glen Canyon Dam. The sampling process kills mussel larvae so it is not known if any of them were alive in the lake. One of them had a broken shell, sug-gesting that it was dead when it was collected.

3. Where was the DNA found?

The NPS laboratory found Quagga mussel DNA in a sample near Antelope Point and also in a sample near the Glen Canyon Dam.

4. What is the next stage of development of larval mus-sels?

To reproduce, Quagga mussels eject sperm and eggs into the water where they combine. The larvae continue floating free for about a month, developing the shell and body structures that are typical of

The National Park Ser-vice will offer two fee-free weekends this winter to en-courage Americans to visit these national treasures. There are 398 national park units lo-cated across the country in 49 states, and most Americans live less than a day’s drive from a park.

National Park Service sites across the country that charge fees for entry will waive these entrance fees dur-ing the weekends of Novem-ber 10-12, 2012 and January 19-21, 2013.

the Glen Canyon Dam. The sampling process kills mus-sel larvae so it is not known if any of them were alive in the lake,” stated Anderson. “One of them had a broken shell, suggesting that it was dead when it was collected.”

Anderson explained that testing occurs using two sepa-rate methods: DNA and mi-croscopy. The DNA method is more sensitive and potentially detects the presence earlier, but can be less accurate. De-tection using microscopes is more accurate but requires an organism or piece of organ-ism that is large enough to be visible in the microscope. Samples are taken using both methods at multiple sites around Lake Powell.

Superintendent Brindle remains hopeful that the moni-toring results are not evidence of an established population of mussels. If it is an early detec-tion, the mussels may not es-

tablish and grow into adults, said Brindle. “Scientists are not sure why but many west-ern waters have shown similar findings and then never devel-oped a noticeable population, such as at Lake Granby, Lake Pueblo, Electric Lake, Red Fleet, Navajo Lake, Grand, Shadow Mountain, Willow Creek, and even Lake Powell in 2007.”

In the meantime, moni-toring and testing by the NPS will continue. “It is possible that these results will not be duplicated and a population of Quagga mussels is not devel-oping,” said Anderson. In ad-dition to the water sampling, NPS divers and underwater re-mote operated vessels will be used to search for adult mus-sels. “However, if test results continue to show positive for DNA or if there are adult mus-sels visible, it could indicate that a population is starting,” Anderson said.

If there is a population of mussels, Superintendent Brindle said he is committed to working with all agencies and partners to determine the extent of the population and investigate and implement strategies for control. Depend-ing on the extent of an early population, removing, wrap-ping or burying the mussel colony might be effective in preventing additional repro-duction.

“We will continue the boat inspections that are cur-rently in place,” Anderson stated. “Prevention is still the most effective way to fight invasive species. Continue to clean, drain, and dry your boat and equipment after every use.”

Additional monitoring information and updates are posted on the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area webpage at www.nps.gov/glca/.

adult mussels. By the time Quagga larvae reach twice the size of those collected, they will be seeking a place to settle and attach with strong threads, which they secrete. Once at-tached, the mussels can grow to about an inch long.

5. Does Lake Powell have reproducing mussels?

We don’t know. The monitoring results are what we would expect to see if an early population was establish-ing. There are other scenarios where these results could be found. Dead mussels may have been introduced into the lake from boats or contamina-tion may have occurred in the sampling or laboratory. If it is an early detection, the mussels may not establish and grow into adults; scientists are not sure why this happens. Many western waters have shown similar findings and then never developed a noticeable population, including Lake Granby, Lake Pueblo, Electric Lake, Red Fleet, Navajo Lake, Grand, Shadow Mountain, Willow Creek, and even Lake Powell in 2007.

6. How could mussel DNA have gotten into the lake?

DNA could wash off boats that have been used in infested waters. DNA will per-sist after an organism is dead. The DNA could also indicate that mussels are present in the

November 1, 20127. How will we determine

if there are reproducing mus-sels in Lake Powell?

Monitoring will continue. We also might never see these results again. Divers and a remotely operated submarine will be used to search for adult mussels.

8. If the reproducing mus-sels are in Lake Powell, what are the next steps?

If there is a population of mussels, NPS will work with partners to investigate the ex-tent of the population. With an understanding of the popula-tion’s location and size, strate-gies for control can be inves-tigated. If the adult population is small and limited in extent, there may be a chance to elim-inate that population.

9. What control strategies exist?

Many control strategies exist for Quagga mussels and other aquatic invasive spe-cies. More information about a target population would be required to evaluate the ap-plicability of an approach. See the Control Strategy Table.

10. If control strategies are not effective, how soon could Lake Powell start expe-riencing mussel impacts?

Should a mussel popu-lation get established and spread, it could be several years before their presence

would be obvious. Spreading lake-wide could take consider-ably longer.

11. What can the public do to help?

Clean, drain, and dry! The spread of mussels and other aquatic invasive species is preventable. Cooperate with prevention program efforts at Lake Powell and other places where people are trying to pro-tect their waters. Always make sure your vessels and equip-ment are not causing the prob-lem. Spread the message, not the mussels.

12. Are boat inspections still required at Lake Powell?

The NPS will continue all of our mussel prevention activities including inspec-tions of boats. Preventing the spread of Quagga mussels and other aquatic invasive species is more important than ever. We have only found evidence of immature quagga mussels floating in the water.

13. Can boats leaving Lake Powell spread mussels to other waters now?

Not if boaters practice “Clean, Drain, and Dry” and treat their boats and equipment to prevent spreading aquatic species.

14. What effect will this have on the Colorado River below the dam in Glen and Grand canyons?

“We’re educating chil-dren about their future, and not only the children, but everyone else, too,” he said. “Renewable energy works, it’s affordable, and in my opinion, it has nothing to do with poli-tics.”

During the 2012-13 aca-demic year, Hardman esti-mates he will make 20 school visits and attend another 15 to 20 events — an average of one visit each week to a school or public event from mid-August to late May.

“We definitely have a lot more requests than we’ll be able to satisfy,” he said.

With an eye on econom-ic development, SUTREC’s goals fit nicely with those of the Business Resource Center.

“One way to make a good living is to use what already exists in your backyard,” Hardman said. “We won’t run out of wind, sun or hot water. These are natural resources that will always be there. It’s not a political or an environ-

ment issues; it’s an economic development issue. It’s about using our natural resources to our advantage.”

Cottam said the Business Resource Center portion of the Labor Department appro-priation supports the Business Expansion and Retention pro-gram.

“This money helps the BRC focus on existing renew-able energy businesses, as well as businesses that could or al-ready do provide products or services to renewable energy businesses,” he said.

He added, “If we can ensure that future renewable-energy businesses can obtain necessary products or services from existing local businesses, therein lies the value. We aim to keep existing renewable-energy commerce local.”

BEAR is all about “find-ing out what products or ser-vices we already have avail-able locally and plugging them into local businesses,” Cottam said. —SUU Office

The “what and why” of Public Administration by Adus F. dorsey, ii, Mayor of Torrey Town

Public Administration is the action part of the govern-ment, the means by which the purposes and goals of govern-ment is realized; public admin-istration as a field is mainly concerned with the means for implementing political values. The process of public admin-istration consists of the actions involved in effecting the intent or desire of the government. It is thus the continuously active ‘business’ part of the govern-ment , concerned with carry-ing out the law, as made by legislative bodies or from oth-er authoritative agents. Public administration is a cooperative effort in a public setting.

In the United States, the federal and state constitutions define the environment of pub-lic administration and place unique constraints upon it. Sovereignty is the concept that somewhere in a political com-munity there is an ultimate re-pository of supreme political power and authority. In the United States, sovereignty re-sides in the people, as whole, who exercise it through rep-resentative government. Pub-lic administration and public employment, in particular, are considered to be a “public trust”. Public administrators are engaged in the formulation and implementation of poli-cies that allocate resources, values, and status in a fashion that is binding upon the soci-ety as a whole.

Although public ad-ministration is thought of in terms of providing services to the public, it is also true that public administrators are engaged in regulation of the public. Public service and civil service is not a service at all but rather an authoritarian

regulatory force used to place constraints on the public, one persons service often turns out to be another’s constraint. As an example, welfare programs undeniably provide a service, but at the same time they place constraints upon the behavior of the recipients. The same is true with agencies like the In-ternal Revenue Service, Con-sumer protection, etc. etc.

Those who define public administration in managerial terms and take a business ap-proach to it tend to minimize the distinctions between pub-lic and private administration. In their view, public adminis-tration is essentially the same as big business and ought to be run according to the same managerial principles and val-ues. As we have seen in our recent Presidential shoot out it was clear that at least one candidate stressed abilities to “manage” the huge federal bureaucracy to make it more efficient.

The roots of the manage-rial approach to public admin-istration go way back to the 1850’s. It was the nineteenth-century civil service reform-ers who first promoted the idea of organizing the public service. The reformers chief complaints were that politi-cal patronage appointments to public service at all levels of government led to corruption, inefficiency, and the emer-gence of a class of politicians “spoilsmen” as they were once referred to. In fact, one well-known historian of the 1850’s insisted the federal service had become staffed by the nations “refuse”.

What civil service reform demanded was that the busi-ness part of the government

shall be carried on in a sound businesslike manner. In order for it to become more business like, it had to be non-political. Consequently, appointments were to be made on the basis of “merit” and “fitness” rather political partisanship. Once politics was rejected as the ba-sis for hiring and firing public administrators, the reformers believed that the selection and tenure of public servants could be based on their efficiency and performance. The aspect of the managerial approach was most influentially put forward by Woodrow Wilson, who in the 1880’s, could be counted among the strong sup-porters of civil service reform.

Public administration is complex and problematic. Just about everywhere, public bu-reaucrats are the butt of com-plaints, grievances and jokes. They are denounced for their vast power on the one hand and ineffectuality and lacka-daisical performance on the other. Virtually everyone has had an unsatisfying and some-what bizarre encounter with a bureaucrat.

But the fact is, as a whole American society is thorough-ly dependent upon public ad-ministrators for the provision of public services, regulation of economy, and national de-fense. Improvements in their performance are certainly possible and desirable, but whether we like it or not there is every reason to believe that the “administrative state” is here to stay.

Bryce Valley High School News

by erin HAyden

Hey everyone! Hope you all had an excellent week and a nice Halloween.

There were some great costumes at the high school. After a normal day of school, we had an assembly where there were a few activities for each class. 8th grade and the seniors won the activities. The Halloween Carnival at the Elementary was a success.

On Friday November 2nd, Josten’s visited the school for the sophomores, juniors and seniors. Sophomores and juniors were able to buy a school ring and the seniors were able to purchase their caps and gowns along with other senior souvenirs.

Also on Friday was the pref dance. It was a success and had delicious snacks. Students had fun and enjoyed the dance.

On Friday as well was Upward Bound’s on-campus. Stu-dents who attended had a great time. Their college tours are on the 16th and 17th of this month.

Basketball practice began on Monday the 5th. Everyone’s excited for the new basketball season. Good luck Mustangs.

On Tuesday the 6th, Mr. Suggett is taking his Physics class, which also includes students from Panguitch, to SUU for a day on campus doing different activities.

Keep in mind that Thanksgiving Break starts on the 21st. I know I, personally, am excited about that.

Have a great week!! See ya next time!

Panguitch City Pool UpdateMy intention with this article is to simply inform the public of the current status of the Pan-

guitch City pool. On October 30th, 2012 the Garfield County School Board met with Panguitch City to discuss the Panguitch City Pool. Panguitch City requested the meeting with School Board; it was held in Tropic at the Heritage Center. The School District held a regular School Board meet-ing to discuss options associated with the pool. Some of the Panguitch City council members dis-cussed numbers they would consider to sell the pool to the School District. The money to purchase the pool will come out of the District capital account which is not money used to pay for salaries; it is used for buildings and building maintenance. The School Board made a motion to cancel the pool agreement with Panguitch City, purchase the swimming pool and easement for $181,000 and also provide the District with the option to use the wrestling room in the old high school for two years. The motion was seconded; the vote was three in favor of the motion, one apposed and one abstention so the motion passed 3-1-1. Panguitch City did not have formal City Council meeting so they could not make any motion in the meeting. Panguitch City will meet to discuss this proposal on Tuesday November 13th at 6:30 pm.

If a large infestation of Quagga mussels existed in Lake Powell, large numbers of mussel larvae might travel through the dam. The larvae that survived would seek to attach in low flow areas. It is not known if they could reach high numbers. The Arizona Canal has not yet developed large populations of mussels despite larvae being deliv-ered from the Lower Colorado River.

15. What has the NPS done to stop mussels at Lake Powell?

The NPS has operated a mussel prevention program at Lake Powell since 2000. Over a decade ago, scientists pre-dicted that Lake Powell would be the first lake in the western U.S. to get mussels. The num-ber of high-risk boats com-ing to the park has increased exponentially in that time. Prior to 2007 and the discov-ery of mussels in the west, Lake Powell was threatened by about 50 high-risk boats per year from eastern states. In 2011 alone, that number was 17,000. 38 boats with mussels were stopped from launching in 2012, over twice the num-ber in 2011. The increased pressure has required the park to screen boats to determine the highest risks and focus our

Understanding Migraine HeadachesWhat Is a Migraine? Just about everyone has headaches, but a migraine is not just a bad headache. A migraine headache

is a complex condition of the nervous system. It is often described as an intense pulsing or throbbing pain that usually occurs in 1 area of the head. Migraine attacks may cause severe, debilitating pain for hours to days, necessitating the need to retreat to a dark, quiet place.

A migraine headache is often accompanied by additional symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. About one-third of affected people can predict the start of a migraine because they experience sensory warning symptoms (also called “aura”). These early-warning symptoms may include flashes of light, blind spots, zig-zag lines, tem-porary loss of vision, or tingling in the arm or leg.

What Causes Migraines? Scientists still do not know for certain what causes migraines. Migraines could involve dis-turbances in nerve pathways and brain chemicals that affect blood vessels near the brain’s surface. The blood vessels swell, sending pain to the brain stem (an area that processes pain information). A genetic predisposition to migraine may exist, as it often runs in families. Recurring migraine attacks are caused by a number of different triggers. Recognizing and recording individual triggers in a headache diary or calendar may be useful in helping to prevent future attacks.

How Can I Treat My Migraine Headache? There is no cure for migraine. There are 2 ways to approach treating mi-graines with medicine. You can take medicine during migraine attacks to relieve symptoms (acute treatment) or you can take medicine daily to prevent or reduce attacks and lessen the intensity of the pain (preventive treatment).

Acute treatment consists of over-the-counter pain relievers (or analgesics) such as acetaminophen, aspirin, and ibupro-fen. If these products do not work for you, your doctor may prescribe medication that may include a stronger analgesic and/or a drug that acts more specifically on the cause of migraines. These migraine-specific treatments may include drugs from the “triptan” class (such as sumatriptan, almotriptan, or zolmitriptan), or “ergot-type” products such as dihydroergotamine nasal spray. If needed, drugs for nausea and vomiting may also be prescribed. The sooner these treatments are administered, the more effective they are.

If you have frequent migraine attacks, if your attacks do not respond consistently to migraine-specific treatments, or if acute medications are ineffective or cannot be used because of other medical problems, then preventive treatment may be prescribed. Certain drugs originally developed for epilepsy, depression, or high blood pressure have been shown to be effec-tive in preventing migraine attacks. Botulinum toxin A, which is injected into muscles in the head and neck, has also been shown to be effective in prevention of chronic migraine.

What Are Rebound Headaches? Rebound headaches (or medication-overuse headaches) are caused by frequent use of headache medication. They are also the MOST common cause of progression from episodic migraine (where attacks occur occasionally or infrequently) to chronic migraine (where attacks occur more frequently or regularly).

If you use acute over-the-counter and prescription drugs too often (more than 2-3 days per week), it can create a head-ache-worsening pattern that results in more headaches and the need to take more medicine. This pattern is harmful, and while in this cycle, other treatments often don’t work. The only way to break this cycle is to stop the pattern of overuse, which should be done under a doctor’s care.

Also, overuse of certain anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen or naproxen sodium, may cause stomach irritation and even ulcers. Excessive use of acetaminophen may increase the risk of liver problems in certain people.

Can Migraines Increase the Risk of Stroke? Although the symptoms of severe migraine attacks can cause fear that you are having a stroke, the likelihood of a migraine causing a stroke is small. It is true, however, that in people younger than 40 years (or in someone with long-term, untreated migraine with aura), the most common associated factor for stroke is migraine.

Migraine sufferers should avoid other risk factors for stroke, such as smoking, high- cholesterol diets, estrogen use, and untreated high blood pressure. Individuals who experience stroke-like symptoms (numbness or slurred speech) should seek immediate medical attention.

limited capability where it was needed most. At busy times, as few as 15% of boats may actu-ally get inspected.

16. How does NPS moni-toring at Lake Powell compare to other mussel monitoring programs?

No other lake on earth is as intensely monitored for mussels as Lake Powell. The NPS processes hundreds of samples each year. The NPS uses 4 early detection meth-ods, including microscopic analysis, automated particle analysis (FlowCAM), Poly-merase Chain Reaction (the DNA test), and deployment of artificial substrates to detect early colonization. Sampling occurs lake-wide at routine sites like marinas and the dam; computers are also used to determine random sampling locations throughout the lake. More samples collected are from areas where there are the most boats. Using both routine and random sampling as well as multiple early detection methodologies is expected to increase the chances of very early detection. Control of any invasive species is easi-est when caught early. If these current findings represent a population, the best chances have been created for success-ful control.

Can my Dog Inherit My estate? estate Planning for Pet Owners

By JeFFery J. mcKennA

In most states, animals are allowed to be the beneficiaries of a special trust that is created to take care of them. These are often referred to as “pet trusts”. Your pet would not technically “inherit” your estate, but your pet may receive the benefit of a pet trust for as long as your pet is alive. (Being the beneficiary of a trust is not the same as in-heriting an estate.)

How does a pet trust

work? You (the “trustor”) give your pet enough money or oth-er property through a trusted person or bank (the “trustee”) who is under a duty to make arrangements for the proper care of your pet according to your instructions. The trustee will deliver the pet to your des-ignated caregiver and then use the property you transferred to the pet trust to pay for your pet’s expenses throughout the pet’s lifetime.

Pet trusts provide pet owners with the ability to have tremendous control over the pet’s care. For example, you may specify who manages the property (the trustee), who the pet’s caregiver is to be, what type of expenses relating to the pet the trustee will pay, the type of care the animal will receive, what happens if the named caregiver can no longer care for the animal, the disposition of the pet after the pet dies, and

the eventual recipient of the as-sets in the pet trust, if any, after the death of the pet.

Many of my clients have planning in place to take care of their pets upon their passing.

If you would like a free copy of a guide for pet own-ers entitled “Frequently Asked Questions About ‘Pet Trusts’”, you can call our office and we will be happy to mail you, as a public service, our list of impor-tant pet trust issues to consider.

Salesman-ship

During a magazine and newspaper subscription drive, our son Philip, a paperboy, learned about good salesman-ship.

His supervisor had in-structed the kids to maintain a positive attitude, even when turned down. One potential customer told Philip, “I’ve got papers and magazines strewn all over the place -- I don’t need any more.”

Philip’s reply? “Well, how about a subscription to Good Housekeeping?”

Inner Peace I think I have found the

secret to inner peace.I read an article that said

the way to achieve inner peace is to finish things I had started. Today I finished two bags of potato chips, a chocolate pie, a bottle of wine and a small box of candy. I feel better already.

Below is a recent Face-book response I posted after I uploaded a video on one of our presidential candidates and received negative (and some-times mean) responses. So, I decided to respond back find-ing each of my friend’s virtues instead of joining the negative bandwagon. Here is the result. I hope after you read this that if ever you were to be mean or judge someone, that you would find their virtues instead. Hap-py virtue finding!

:) Hey you guys PLEASE do not post any more politi-cal comments especially with what’s transpired this week with Hurricane Sandy. Let’s instead, if you don’t mind, send prayers (or energy or whatever you do) for relief, answers, peace, and comfort for them. And if you can, invite them for Thanksgiv-ing and other holiday meals, to move in, whatever you can do. They need us. What a great place to focus our prayers, thoughts, time, energy, etc.

And from now on, this is as political as I’m going to get, other than voting of course (since I’ve recently come to re-alize why I’m not in politics)…anyway, today in church, a sis-ter told me about a professor who gave his class an assign-ment for them to write about the candidate they wouldn’t vote for stating all his virtues (so anyone looking for a class assignment, there you go). Anyway, that being said, I felt prompted to point out each one of your virtues:

BB, Sr., for raising the most amazing son ever, BB,

Jr. (who I love and miss im-mensely), for working a job for 50 years (wow, what an accomplishment) and for al-ways helping those in unfortu-nate circumstances (PS: I miss Petey);

CML, for always includ-ing me as part of your family (and so proud of Trevor serv-ing a mission in Salt Lake City), for putting family first (most amazing kids ever) and for being an excellent disciple of Christ (not to leave out tell-ing me about the professor idea above);

GLS, for always believing in me, for being an amazing dad (who has the most amaz-ing daughter ever) and for a 22+ year career serving in our military (thank you for all your sacrifices, and still today, and in some pretty scary places);

JK, for always being so kind to me at EWS, for taking care of your sister with cere-bral palsy and for your noble research career in some pretty dangerous places to provide medicines for patients like me and others;

LKP, for being the best roomie ever (even when I didn’t deserve you), for setting an excellent example of our Savior and for enduring and loving people no matter what;

MPK, for enduring even when it seemed impossible in unfortunate circumstances, for opening my eyes to other ways of thinking and believing and for putting family first (most amazing kids ever);

NB, it’s been a long time, yet, thank you for always being

so kind to me back in the F-M days (great Dwight Eisenhow-er quote by the way);

RAT, for baptizing me into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Oki-nawan Serviceman’s Branch, for also putting family first (most amazing kids ever), for an almost 30-year career serv-ing in our military (thank you for all your sacrifices also in some pretty scary places…thank you especially for your service in Vietnam) and for do-ing whatever it takes to become more Celestial and Christlike (now that is hot!);

If I missed anyone, let me know. And if you would, please pray for my buddy, DeAnna Howe Rice (http://www.dean-narice.com/), who is currently battling her fifth cancer and on chemo for the umpteenth time. She’s got a book on Amazon (see my profile pic), Fight Like a Mom. I’m sure she’d appre-ciate your support (if you can). And again, whatever you can do for our East Coast friends as well.

I am grateful for your love and friendship. I appreciate and love you. Stay awesome, keep going, keep doing great things, and God Bless! xo, C

Negative words

The counselor was giving advice:

To gain self-confidence, you must avoid using negative words, such as “can’t” and “not.” Do you think you can do that?

The young man respond-ed:

Well, I can’t see why not.

As part of his Eagle Scout project Jamen Brindley has been identifying and mark-ing unidentified graves at the Torrey Cemetery under the di-rection of Councilperson Jen Howe. Jamen’s efforts are part of an over all effort to system-atically identify all the graves in the Torrey cemetery with help from GIS expert Brandon Jensen,. Once completed Tor-rey Town will have a compre-hensive map of who is buried where. The cemetery identifi-cation plot project has been a highly intense endeavor and will provide detailed remote Internet information and ac-cess to Torrey Town’s his-torical cemetery where some graves date as far back as vet-erans of the Indian wars. This Torrey Town project will aid future family members search-ing for ancestors and histori-ans seeking answers.

Also part of the Torrey Town cemetery project is the clean up and restoration of the old Torrey Town cemetery. For more information on how you can be part of this impor-tant community project, or if you as a Wayne County youth need service hours contact the Torrey Town office for further details.

As soon as November 12th Torrey residents can ex-pect to see a major Main Street tree trimming venture take place. Under the direction and efforts of Councilperson Janet Hansen and the Torrey Town Tree Committee, Torrey Town received an $8,000.00 match-ing grant from the Urban & Community Forestry & Utah Forestry, Fire and State Lands administration, with the help of Acting Deputy Director Meridith McAvoy Perkins.

Torrey Town continues to receive high praises for active efforts at preserving the his-torical cottonwood trees that line the Torrey Town Main Street and continuing efforts to constantly replace the aging Torrey cottonwood tree icons.

Arbor Day comes around every year. Plan to plant a tree and keep Torrey’s Tree USA tradition alive.

As redundant as it may be sounding, Torrey Town’s Water System improvements and system wide construction continues. Major headway has been made on the new water storage tank construc-tion above the Sleeping Rain-bow Sub Division, sometimes semi- affectionately referred to as Rudyville. A new Tor-rey Town eight-inch water line that will increase water flow, system capacity and improve fire suppression was suc-cessfully bored under High-way 12 near the Torrey Town Cemetery. Jackson Excava-tion elicited the expert help of C.A. Johnson and his million dollar Vermeer rock trencher to do the rock X (excava-tion) and complete the Peden Cut excavation to the Cal Boardman property, the John Benson and the Hatch lines. Presently Jackson Excavation crews under the supervision of Kirk Jackson are headed for the notorious Hell’s Hole red rock gap, replacing Air Vac’s and erasing erosion damage due to increased public ATV and weather related activity on U.S. Forest Service trails and Torrey Towns water line mountain leased property.

Residents of Sleeping Rainbow Estates and area wide residents that are being affected by the Torrey Town

water project are requested to be patient during this impor-tant system wide water system upgrade. Water outages, trav-eling delays and road cross-ings are required during this construction process. As a re-minder, New Yorkers are suf-fering from a more devastating fate, your understanding dur-ing this construction process is appreciated. As part of the record the Torrey Town Wa-ter system upgrade project has surpassed the halfway point, things will get better and will be complete by the spring of 2013.

The weather in Torrey and Wayne County has been nothing short of fall fantastic. For the most part all the fall leaves have fallen off of the trees and are on the ground and being raked up into burn piles. Not a good week to hang semi-weekly washed bed sheets on the clothes lines and expect the fresh smell of the outdoors, particularly when local folks are reducing their annual raked up leaves into piles of burnt ashes and smok-ing up the neighborhood.

As nervous and vigilant as some local Wayne County residents have become during the recent summer fire season, it is recommended that anyone putting a match to debris piles larger than a milk bucket con-tact the Richfield Dispatch of-fice at 1 800 356 8757 to avoid interruption by your local law enforcement and fire authori-ties at your yearly yard clean up party.

If you forgot to retrieve your trash can from the road on trash day / Halloween and it is now missing, it is a good possibility that it became part of semi attempt at construct-

ing a Stonehenge replica on the southwest corner lot in the northeast part of town by late night trick or treators. In what became an early morning delicate operation to decon-struct the trash can menagerie to reclaim one’s rolling refuse container it was quite the sight for neighbors that were cau-tious enough to hide their trash cans before dark. The best part about the early morning neigh-borly gathering was seeing who nightly occupies those fashionable PJ’s that residents of the 200 North block only get to see on the clothes line about once a week. It is not who you would think.

All in all Halloween 2012 was a big success. Thank goodness for Costco and the huge sacks of goodies that they sell. Things could have been worse if they didn’t.

It is always interesting to see what the kids show up as and it makes one wonder if it is any reflection about what they will grow up to be? My favorites are the untrained little ones that just run up to your door and hand you their bag expecting you to fill it up with what ever you have while their parents are running up the side walk chasing after them saying “trick or treat, trick or treat”. I find the polite ones that only take one piece of candy from the bowl to be interesting, especially when their little brothers and sis-ters are grabbing hands full of sweets. I always keep a special stash for those types, full size Snickers, Milky Ways, and Kit Kat bars. Thanks to all the kids that came by trick or treating, you made my year. Now bring back my trashcan.

Sandy Johnson says: “We had another ‘taste of heaven’ today being with family as Nathan & Essie Rigby’s baby, James Henry, was blessed! I love, love, love being with family, especially our grand-kids!”

Had a lovely time in St. George with Doug and Vicki Ahlstrom, Catherine Little-field, Wynona Henderson, Charlie Francisco, and Cathe-rine Littlefield. It was a beau-tiful day and we saw many people from the Escalante Stake while we were down there all attending the Temple. Very nice day for traveling. It was awesome seeing so many

familiar faces in the temple yesterday for our stake temple day prior to stake conference next weekend! “A taste of heaven!” from Sandy.

Some girls from Tropic attended the Eric Church con-cert in Las Vegas and had a great time. Going was Ash-lynn Syrett, Codi Mangum, Taylor Talbot, Makelle Pol-lock, Jeanette Pollock, and Whitni Syrett and they were all taken to the concert by some of their awesome Moms.

Carl and Mary-Miller Boyd had an enjoyable visit back to Kentucky where they were present for the birth of a grandchild, Zola Heiwa Carter. Carl-Thomas, Hadden, Willow, Lake and Nara wel-comed their new sister. The three oldest traveled to north Georgia with Carl and Mary-Miller to celebrate their cousin Allyson’s tenth birthday and to see Madeline. The Boyd’s also visited with son John and were able to visit high school

and college friends.Anita Fletcher spent two

days in St. George with her mother, Marie Broderick. She had a nice visit and then at-tended the Temple on Friday with the Escalante Stake. She enjoyed that very much.

Parent- Teacher-Student conferences will be held on the 7th and 8th starting after lunch on Wednesday.

Sean and Kim Stewart were out hunting and found three stray dogs that they have taken in and are taking care of. They would like to get them back to their owners or to someone who would love them and care for them. If you are interested call Kim Stew-art.

Shayna Henrie, daughter of Lynne and Mala Shake-spear, has her mission call to Argentina Buenos Aires. She leaves January 16th. Shayna is the granddaughter of Lyllian Le Fevre of Henrieville.

I would love to stay on day light savings time year around, standard time leaves me tired all the time. By Dec. 23 and the solstice, we will lose another hour and a half of daylight, it will be dark when you go to work and dark when you get home. The deer hunt is over and still no snow, I have even had my car washed and if it doesn’t snow by Friday, we are in for trouble this winter for moisture.

Pat and I attended “Jo-seph and The Amazing Tech-nicolor Dream Coat” and it was beyond my words to de-scribe how good it was. Elaine Baldwin and Cheryl Church have outdone themselves, with this huge cast. When Elaine said she had 60 cast members I thought she would double cast the whole musical, but there were at least 50 cast members that took part in the show. Cheryl told me she had wanted to do this musical for a long time, but this is the first time that she had two boys that could play the parts of Joseph and the Pharaoh. Josiah Sarles was magnificent as Joseph, (what a great voice and such a big part to learn). Slader Mat-thew as the Pharaoh stole the show with his Elvis singing of the Pharaoh dream. How did they ever get all of those boys to take singing parts and get them to do so well, is beyond me? Everyone that had a part did a wonderful job with their singing and dancing, even the elementary school students. One of the star athletes, who is a senior, told Cheryl that he had so much fun that he wished that he had become in-volved with drama sooner.

This show was so much fun that Pat and I went again on Saturday and it was as good as it was on Friday, I thought it was even better on the second night. A couple that set near us said that they saw the mu-sical last year by profession-als and felt that the singing here was every bit as good as there. There will be two more showings tomorrow, Friday the 9th and Saturday the 10th and I imagine that we will go again; I am fascinated by the performance of these young students. There were some girls in the audience from BV I hope they go back and tell their friends.

A lot going on this week-end: Tomorrow morning the Elementary School will be honoring all of the Veterans at the school at 10 am. I hope you as a Veteran will spend the time to come to this program, as a lot of preparation by the kids goes into this program and it is very patriotic.

Friday evening at 5:00 will be the 14th annual Li-ons Club Sponsored 1-A 2-A All Star Volleyball game. The best senior players from So.Utah will take part. This is a very entertaining game and it gives these fine athletes one last game in their high school careers. They get to play with players from other teams that they have competed against over the years and it is really fun for them. Katelyn Parkin is our senior that will take part in the game. All proceeds will go to the Panguitch Vol-leyball team and help with the expenses of next year. Tickets are adult $5.00 and students $2.00, come and enjoy the fun.

After the Volleyball game, you can go and see “Joseph” at 7:00 and listen to Katelyn sing, as one of the Narrators. It will be a really fun evening, which will carry you through the weekend on a high note.

Also on Friday night, the Sheriff Dept. will have their annual dinner out at Ebene-zer. They will be honoring all Search and Rescue and EMTs with a dinner and it will begin at 6:30.

Saturday the 10th will be the Panguitch Holiday Craft Fair and it will once again be back in the County Fair Build-ing. It will open at 10am, come early for the best deals on your early Christmas shopping. There will be drawings, plenty of concession booth and food. Sub for Santa will have there local made candy booth, with plenty of goodies. The Craft Fair is a big draw, don’t get discouraged because of lack of parking, the walk will be worth it.

Veterans Day will be celebrated on Monday the 12th, school will be in, but the Banks and Post Office will be closed. The Panguitch Ameri-can Legion will be hosting a dinner for all Veterans and their wife’s from our area. It will be at the Senior Center

and will start at 6:30. There will be good food, entertain-ment and a tribute to the Vet-erans. Please give me a call if you can make it (676-2418) so I can get a count. There will be a signing of a contract between the National Guard, Panguitch City and Garfield Co. supporting the Guard in their endeavors.

Down the line will be the annual Thanksgiving dinner and it will also be at the Senior Center and all are welcome. Come and celebrate all that we have and what a wonder-ful Country we live in, with friends and neighbors.

Good news for you that travel up to SLC on a regular basis. Highway 15 is finally completed through the Pro-vo area. President Obama’s Stimulus money that went into this project, brought many jobs to our State, which is the good news, the bad news is that those jobs will be gone. However that giant building that sits in front of Cabellas, is a computer company called Adobe and it will employ around 1200 people. Many of these jobs will be high tech po-sitions. What a huge endeavor this highway project was, that took about 3 years to complete but it should take care of the bottle neck that runs through that area and slows traffic big time. Also on Hw. 15 between Bear Valley and Paragonah has been resurfaced and makes a much smoother ride, clear to St. George. Utah in my opin-

ion has some the finest roads anywhere, I know those of you that don’t drive much in big cities probably don’t believe me, but just drive down to the Los Angeles area and you will see what I mean. The key to driving on any freeway is car pooling, it is amazing how many single driver cars out there.

The monster storm that hit the east coast has been re-ally something. Catastrophes can happen anywhere and it’s not the end of the world. This is just another reminder, as many of these incidents there are, that we need to be prepared. The area that Sandy hit had never been confronted with anything like this before. Several people have died be-cause they used generators inside of their homes, from carbon monoxide poison-ing. If you would like to help out with this episode you can send money to the Red Cross. There will be a blood drive on the 14th at the Stake Center and it will run from 2:00 till 8:00 in the evening. You can sign up at Church or call Brian and Jennifer Bremner at (676-8211) and make a reservation.

Last Monday was the start of the winter sports pro-gram practice and the kids will be busy, there should be some very good teams coming this year.

There are so many fun things going on this weekend. Enjoy yourself!

Well, Halloween has passed so now to replace the spooks and goblins we can look forward to Thanksgiving, turkey, pumpkin pie and all the trimmings!

There certainly were a lot of spooks and goblins of all siz-es running around town. Hal-loween started the night before Halloween with the party that Jill Phillips has at her house every year. It is a Pumpkin Patch, Pumpkin carving, bon-fire and refreshment funfest for both kids and adults. They each bring their own pumpkin, carve them, then there is a judging contest for the best ones and the winners get a prize. 103 contestants showed up this year and they had a great time!

The weather was a lot warmer this year than last so the trick or treating lasted a lot longer. There was a “Trunk or Treat” at the school, a couple of spook alleys around town and the kids were able to go through the corn maze across the street from Griffin’s store. Louise Barnes, Marian Casse’ and the girls at the bank pro-vided direction and refresh-ments for those who ventured through the maze. That was something a little different for them this year.

Eve Marsh went to Parowan to tend the grand-children while Justin and Kari Marsh went to Arizona for the wedding of Kari’s brother.

Tom and Marilyn Jackson were caught in the midst of a fly

in, and out, of President Obama in Las Vegas. They were on their way home from San An-tonio when the airport in Las Vegas was put in lock down. So their airplane had to wait, along with 22 other airplanes, for Air-force One to leave before they could take off.

Richard and Victory Crawford have another new granddaughter. Her name is Ann Elizabeth and her parents are James and Marci Crawford. She was born on Halloween!

Congratulations to all of them!

Tionna and Jesse Miller’s baby, Clancy, gave his parents and grandparents a scare with a case of RSV. Happily he is do-ing okay now.

Did any of you go to see the summer sun go into it’s winter home last Saturday at the Parowan Gap? We can also see the sun rise in the gap at the Northeast end of Escalan-te where the creek wends it’s way through the hills there. That probably happens in the Spring or whenever it is that the sun comes up farther to the North. We can see that and only have to go outside our houses to view it! In fact I don’t even have to leave my kitchen. I watched it a number of times in my younger days, but don’t get up that early any more! You early risers may want to watch for that and let the rest of us know when it is going to hap-pen. It is quite spectacular! The moon does that also.

Katie Meisenbach got her deer during the hunt! She shot it right through the heart! Her dad said she got so excited she went from crying to high fiving everybody all in five minutes! Good job, Katie!

I got worried about one of my best friends, Jean (Barney) Ikard during the Hurricane Sandy. Jean lives in Roanoke, Virginia. So I called to check on her and she said her part of town was lucky. They had big winds but no damage, but on the other side of town they had a power outage, probably due to the wind blowing trees over on the power lines.

Hopefully none of you had friends or family in the middle of that. Such a devastat-ing thing!

Quinn Griffin tells me that plans are being formulated for the program on Memorial Day. They want to do stories about the sheep herds in the olden days of Escalante. They also want to keep these stories at the heritage center later on. If you have stories of your grandpar-ents, parents, or if you herded sheep yourself they would like to hear from you. For more information you can e-mail Quinn at [email protected] or call him at 616-4660. Your input will be appreciated.

On Veteran’s Day, Mon-day, November 12, there will be a flag raising ceremony at 9:00 A. M. at the high school. From 10:00 A. M. to 6:00 P. M. Veterans displays at the

community center. Please take display items to the community center on Sunday after 3:00 P. M. ANY military related items are welcome. If you need to have them picked up please call or text Leslie Venuti at 435-668-0540 or Marty Henry at 435-772-6527.

Relatives here have re-ceived word of the passing of two former residents:

Wanda Bailey Houston, 97, passed away October 27, 2012. Her funeral services were held on November 3, at Larkin Sunset Lawn in Salt Lake City. Wanda was a daugh-ter of Charles William Bailey and Mary Alice Shurtz Bailey. She is an aunt of McKay Bailey and Lillian Lyman. She was a home-ec teacher and taught in the Escalante high School for a year or two in the ‘50’s.

Joseph W. Bybee, 71, passed away October 28, 2012, at the Utah Valley Medical Center, in Provo. His parents were Walden and Laura Lay Bybee, his grandmother was Bessie Lay. Joseph was born in Escalante but his family moved to Annabella when he was very young. A graveside service was held for him on November 2, 2012 at the cemetery in An-nabella. He is a cousin to the Steeds who live here in Es-calante. Mary Shumway was from the same Bybee family. If I remember right Joseph’s father, Walden Bybee, was Mary’s oldest brother and they all lived in Tropic.

BICKNELL - Elder Jameson Pace will return from the North Carolina Raleigh Mission on November 14th. He will report his mission in the Thurber Ward, Bicknell Utah, at 10 A.M November 18th.

43% of business owners spend 6+ hours per week on social mediaA new survey of nearly 500 small business owners

showed that 43% spend more than six hours per week on social media. Internet tools like Facebook and Twitter can be an effective and low cost way to get your business message to your customers, or an unending drain on your already stretched-to-the-limit entrepreneurial resources.

According to the survey, which was conducted by VerticalResponse, 90% of small businesses are using Facebook. About 70% have a Twitter presence, while businesses are using other services to a far lesser degree: LinkedIn (50%), Google+ (32%) and Pinterest (29%).

Sixty-six percent of business owners are spending more time on social media this year than last, but are they getting value for their effort? Here are six ways to make sure those six hours a week generate results on your bottom line. 1. Invest time wisely: social media requires regular

and frequent feedings, especially in direct response to customer questions posted on-line. Nothing says “we care” more than a rapid reply to a customer’s question; conversely, unanswered questions are a cause for concern to potential customers researching your company.

2. Drive your brand with consistency, not a shotgun

approach. Come up with a strategy and stick to it. If you are a restaurateur, post the lunch special every day. Own a clothing boutique? Post a photo every day for a week showing new ways to wear the same clothing item you are featuring. A lumberyard can feature customers finished projects, or even tips from customers on working smart in the workshop.

3. Design your campaigns so that you can focus your effort and measure effectiveness. If you feature a special on Facebook for a week, do measure sales before and after the campaign to figure out what works for your audience. If you represent your business through a Facebook Page (rather than a personal account) you can access a number of metrics through the Insight panel. Set a weekly goal to guide and monitor your on-line efforts. You could decide you want to find out what content is needed to double the number of engaged users who click on your post. Then spend a week or two testing how different content works for your business goal so you won’t waste your time on content that doesn’t produce results.

4. At least don’t be boring: don’t cut and paste the same post to Facebook, Twitter and your blog.

Know which social media outlets your current and desired customers use and target your message accordingly. Facebook lends itself to conversations and eye-candy photographs. Twitter users tend to be younger and looking for a rapid response to questions and recommendations. Some Twitter client software lets you set up searches for keywords (like your brand or a keyword) so you can jump into an interaction with a new prospect.

5. Business-to-business entrepreneurs like account-ants, graphics specialists and consultants may find their next customer on LinkedIn, which emphasizes your expertise and networked contacts over daily updates. One Forbes columnist called LinkedIn her “online phone book for hiring solopreneurs.”

6. Your mother was right: it’s rude to talk about only yourself. A constant stream of “buy this now” updates isn’t social. Remember to encourage conversation with and among your audience.

Successful blog writers know to end a post with a question that encourages comments and conversation. How can you use these six tips today to upgrade your social media presence while getting more value for your time and effort?

SALT LAKE CITY — Starting Jan. 1, you can have up to three hooks on your fish-ing line. And if you’d like to bow fish for common carp at night, you can.

Plenty of big splake live in Joes Valley Reservoir. Start-ing in 2013, you can fish at Joes Valley year-round.

Those changes are among several fishing changes mem-bers of the Utah Wildlife Board approved for 2013.

The recommendations Division of Wildlife Resourc-es biologists presented to the board on Nov. 1 were influ-enced heavily by ideas biolo-gists received from more than 1,300 anglers who took an on-line survey at the DWR’s web-site last spring.

All of the changes the board approved will be avail-able in the 2013 Utah Fishing Guidebook. The guidebook should be available at wildlife.utah.gov/guidebooks some-time in early December.

The following are among the fishing changes in Utah that board members approved for 2013:

This year, Joes Valley Reservoir in east-central Utah is closed to fishing from now until 6 a.m. on Dec. 8. How-ever, in 2013, the fall closure will be lifted, and you’ll be al-lowed to fish at the reservoir year-round.

Starting Jan. 1, you can have up to three hooks on your fishing line.

Currently, Lake Powell and Flaming Gorge are the only waters in Utah at which you can use up to three hooks.

Drew Cushing, warm wa-ter sport fisheries coordinator for the DWR, thinks walleye, bass and fly anglers are among those who will be excited about the change.

“Some of the more expe-rienced fly anglers are using a rig that consists of a large fly with nymph ‘trailers’ attached to it,” Cushing says. “Allow-ing them to fish two trailers, instead of one, will give them a better chance to catch fish.”

Cushing says bass anglers are starting to use umbrella rigs. An umbrella rig consists of two or more lures that are attached together. As the rig is pulled through the water, it imitates a small school of fish swimming together.

“Just like fly anglers,” Cushing says, “allowing bass and walleye anglers to use three hooks will give them a

Avoid These Privacy red Flagsby JAson AldermAn

Young adults applying for college or preparing to enter the workforce are sometimes shocked to find out that that certain behaviors that were either tolerated or ignored when they were younger now fall under closer scrutiny and could actually hurt their advancement possibilities. Among the biggest culprits are oversharing sensitive personal information in public forums and getting extreme tattoos or body art that may not yet be fully acceptable in certain work environments.

Red flags. It should be common knowledge that many employers perform online pro-file searches of job or intern-ship candidates. They’ll scour public postings on Facebook, Twitter or YouTube looking for inappropriate content like racy photos or videos, racist remarks or evidence of illegal activities that would rule inap-propriate candidates.

But many people don’t realize that colleges, insurance companies, law enforcement and government agencies sometimes do the same. Thus, an underage student hoping to boost his cool factor by posting photos that show him engaging in drinking games could be disqualified for col-lege admission or even have his scholarship revoked.

Privacy settings. Accord-ing to projections by Consum-er Reports, roughly 13 million

Facebook users have never set, or didn’t know about, the site’s privacy tools, and 28 percent share all, or almost all, of their wall posts with more than just their friends. It pays to thor-oughly read the privacy poli-cies of all sites where you’ve registered, including social networks, your bank, retailers, blogs and news sites where you’ve made comments, etc.

Email is forever. Deleting an email from your computer doesn’t mean it no longer ex-ists. Chances are your email provider – or employer, if sent from work – will retain a re-cord for years to come. Plus, recipients won’t necessarily delete the email and may in fact forward it to others.

Haunting photos. Just like emails, photos posted online can live forever. That includes pictures of you that someone else posted and tagged with your name. My rule of thumb: If you wouldn’t want your grandmother to see it, don’t do it, say it or film it. Also, don’t post photos of your kids that might embarrass them or hurt their professional reputation down the road.

Resume lies. It can be tempting to embellish the truth on your resume or during a job interview, but as recent head-lines about disgraced execu-tives being fired have shown, these lies can come back to haunt you. Employers can eas-ily determine if the degree or

past job titles you’re claim-ing are legitimate. Another no-brainer: If your resume is posted online on Monster.com or LinkedIn, make sure there aren’t major inconsistencies with the one you submit to prospective employers.

Tattoos. One-fifth of adults have at least one tattoo – the percentages are higher among younger adults. A few years ago, job candidates wouldn’t get past the first in-terview sporting tattoos; to-day, depending on the industry and type of customer contact involved, many employers will look the other way.

However, some employ-ers do enforce strict no-tattoo policies which, if based on sound business reasons, are le-gal. Fortunately, my own kids aren’t old enough for body art to be a consideration, but when they are, I’ll give them the same advice I’d give any young adult: Think about the long-term consequences of your actions.

Use More Hooks, Bow Fish at Night:wildlife Board Approves

Fishing Changes for 2013better chance to catch fish.”

Umbrella rigs often in-clude more than three lures. Please remember that only three of the lures in your rig can have hooks on them. “Even with hooks on only three of the lures,” Cushing says, “your rig will still be very effective.”

Umbrella rigs and worm harnesses are currently sold in Utah, but they’re not legal to use in the state if they have more than two hooks. “Start-ing Jan. 1,” Cushing says, “it will be legal to use umbrella rigs and worm harnesses that have up to three hooks.”

Starting Jan. 1, you can use a bow and arrow to fish for common carp in shallow water at night.

Currently, bow fishing for

common carp in Utah is al-lowed only during the day.

Cushing says anything that can legally be done to remove carp is a good thing. “Carp populations grow quick,” he says, “and they’ll eat anything, so they compete for food with all of the other fish in the water.”

Also, carp grow fast — they don’t stay small long enough to provide adequate forage for other fish. “And that isn’t all,” Cushing says. “Carp stir up the mud on the bottom of the waters they’re in. They also feed on and dam-age aquatic plants. The mud they stir up prevents sunlight from reaching the plants. The damaged plants can’t repair themselves, and new plants can’t grow.”

Cushing says 1,367 an-glers responded to a survey that was available on the DWR’s website from mid May to mid June.

Because of how the sur-vey was conducted (for ex-ample, it was offered online to anyone who wanted to take it), Cushing says the survey isn’t statistically valid, and it doesn’t represent every angler in Utah. But he’s still excited about the number of anglers who responded to the survey and the ideas they shared.

“We’re excited to get this kind of response from an-glers,” he says. “We’re happy that they have an effective way to share their ideas with us.”
