TORREY - The Entrada Institute presented two awards at this year’s friendraiser event, held Saturday October 19th at the Cougar Ridge Ranch.

The Entrada Institute’s Ward Roylance Award recog-nizes individuals and organiza-tions that further public under-standing and appreciation of the natural, historical, cultural, and scientific heritage of the Colorado Plateau. This year, local historian Steve Taylor of Fremont received this well-deserved recognition, the Ward Roylance Award.

Steve Taylor is a local his-torian specializing in the early history of the Fremont River communities. Although he holds a Ph.D. in math and phys-ics, spent forty years working in environmental management, and continues to do consulting, he returned to Wayne County where he was born and raised to focus on his passion for his-tory. He is the sixth generation of his family to have lived in Rabbit Valley, with many of Wayne County’s first settlers being his direct ancestors.

Mr. Taylor currently lives in Fremont on a small farm where he teaches a weekly his-tory class in his home. He has been a speaker at Entrada’s Saturday Sunset series, the an-nual Heritage Starfest, and nu-merous other Wayne County events.

This year, the Scholl fam-ily received the Friends of En-trada Award. Barry Scholl was the editor of Catalyst Magazine when he heard about Ward Roylance. Ward had a habit of writing grumpy letters to vari-ous newspapers about preserv-ing the beauty of southern Utah

BOULDER/ESCALAN-TE - Beginning at sunrise on October 12th, the second an-nual Escalante Canyons Mara-thon and its companion 10-mile race drew 80 runners intent on conquering the rugged terrain between Boulder and Escalan-te. From anxious anticipation at the start lines to elated smiles at the finish, these runners crossed the Hogs Back, ran down to the Escalante River, ran up the switchback to Head of the Rocks, and eased toward the finish across the high range country backed by the Straight Cliffs.

Someone must be living right, because a sunny race morning dawned once again between two stormy days. For the runners, this just reinforced Fox News’ recent recognition of Scenic Byway 12 as the “second most beautiful high-

while making tourism a bigger focus of the economy. Barry traveled to Torrey to interview Ward at his home, (now the Robber’s Roost Bookstore). The two hit it off immediately and soon hatched a plan to start the Entrada Institute to bring culture, science, humanities and appreciation of the Colo-rado Plateau to the residents of and visitors to Wayne County. With the assistance of several other Wayne County enthusi-asts, the fledgling organization began offering hikes and talks often led by Barry or Ward or their wide variety of contacts. But within two years, Ward and his wife were dead and his plan to provide a home for Entrada was incomplete.

Barry and Tiffany Scholl along with Barry’s sister, Lau-ra, and another partner stepped in to purchase the property and establish it as a home for Entrada and a haven for cre-ative thought, nature, music and good coffee. Over the years it has become hard for many people to tell the differ-ence between Robbers Roost and the Entrada Institute, but the bookstore is totally owned by the Scholls. Entrada owns a small shed and the stage on the Robber’s Roost grounds. Barry continues to serve on the Entrada Board, and the Scholls have generously supported the Entrada Institute in every way possible. There likely would be no Summer Sunset Series of events, no Bernice Scholl Entrada Scholarship at Wayne High, and Wayne County would be a poorer place with-out Entrada and the Scholls.

CLAREMONT, CALIF. - A chance find by a high school student led to the youngest, smallest and most complete fossil skeleton yet known from the iconic tube-crested dino-saur Parasaurolophus. The discovery, announced today by the Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontology at The Webb Schools, shows that the pre-historic plant-eater sprouted its strange headgear before it celebrated its first birthday. Three-dimensional scans of nearly the entire fossil are free-ly available online, making this the most digitally-accessible dinosaur to date.

The fossil skeleton was

WAYNE CO. - Over 60 scarecrows flapped their straw-stuffed limbs in the Wayne County breeze last week. Orga-nizers of the first ever Harvest Time Scarecrow Festival were elated by the enthusiastic par-ticipation from the community. There was just one setback: there were too many awesome scarecrows for the team to se-lect an outright winner.

“We are sorry, but we are a victim of our own success. How can you possibly choose between the wonderful cross section of colorful, funny, scary and creative scarecrows that popped up in Wayne County on the week of October 12th? We can’t,” said Carol Gnade, Presi-

dent of the Entrada Institute.New scarecrows popped

up across the valley throughout the week-long event. “A dad called me on the phone after taking his daughter out to look at the scarecrows. They get home and the daughter said, ‘What’s wrong with us Dad….why don’t we have a scare-crow?’” Gnade recounted. The father called the festival com-mittee, asked to be added to the list and the famiily had built one by morning.

Scarecrow-makers took inspiration from their busi-nesses, even their owners. Pen-ny Torgerson at Royal’s Food Town said that their scarecrow “Hilda” is pushing a shopping

cart full of items and photo-graphs selected to represent the store’s proprietor, Joe Hiskey. “Have you noticed that some of the scarecrows actually look like the owner of the business or the president of a bank?” Gnade pointed out.

About 30 kids partici-pated in the youth event at the Robber’s Roost Bookstore on October 12, where they, made crafts and showed off their cre-ations in a pumpkin-carving contest. Mary Sorensen from 4H for bringing Charity Faddis and doing a great job with face painting.

The scarecrows aren’t go-ing away quickly: some busi-nesses plan to display their

scarecrows until Halloween. And plans are already being made for the 2014 festival, with additional events and even more scarecrows

“Next year we will have a captain in each town who will help with additional festival ideas and implementation,” said Gnade. Volunteers for the committee can sign-up by emailing her at carolgnade@mac.com.

As for the future contests, the organizers are delegating the difficult job of selecting the winners. Gnade said, “Next year it’s going to be ‘people’s choice awards.’”

Other top finishers in the marathon included Riccardo Tortini from Houghton, Michi-gan, and Jedediah Kowalski from Murray. The women’s winners were Caroline Mille-son of Salt Lake City, Jac-

qualynn Gordon of Encinitas, California, and our top local finisher, Halley Pollock from Bryce City.

Cody Adamson from Lehi, Escalante’s Kimberly Dolatta, and Allessandro Zanazzi from Provo were the winners of the 10-mile race. Kim, who was the only woman to place in the top three in either race, de-serves special recognition.

CEDAR CITY – Now that the partial government shutdown has ended, the Di-xie National Forest is able to sell firewood permits again to the public.

Firewood permits are is-sued in a series of half-cord tags. The minimum purchase price is $20. This package in-cludes four half-cord tags, for a total of 2 cords. Additional half-cord tags can be pur-chased for $5 each. Firewood permits are available at all Dixie National Forest Offices (St. George, Cedar City, Pan-guitch, and Escalante), and are valid through the end of the 2013 calendar year.

Special regulations dic-tate what types of trees and tree size (diameter at the stump) can be cut in different areas of the forest. For instance, on the Powell Ranger District it is not legal to cut oak. On the Pine Valley, Cedar City, and Escalante Ranger Districts oak can be cut. These regu-lations are provided with the purchase of a permit.

Tags, which come with the permit, should be attached to the load before transporting the firewood. Stumps left af-ter cutting should be no higher than 12 inches in height. Slash

BOULDER - A variety of old-time skills and a distinctly old-fashioned community atmosphere were on display last Fri-day in Boulder at the annual Harvest Festival, where the teach-ing of traditional crafts and methods mixed with local food, mu-sic and discussion.

Local residents presented information on everything from ice storage and natural refrigeration to chicken farming and knife sharpening, as scores of locals and visitors enjoyed bril-liant fall sunshine and blue skies at the Red House Farm. The day’s activities included presentations on beekeeping, chicken farming, ice cream making, goat milk soap making, the use of natural bacteria and mushroom spores to increase soil fertility, and various other skills.

The annual festival is sponsored by the Boulder Heritage Skills Foundation.

WAYNE and GARFIELD COUNTIES - Furloughed fed-eral government employees in the area returned to work last week as Congress finally passed a bill funding govern-ment operations and extended the federal debt limit to pro-vide for the government’s con-tinued functioning.

The government reopened on Oct. 17 after nearly a two-and-a-half week shutdown and congressional impasse that brought chaos to the area’s tourism industry when national parks abruptly closed on Oct. 1, leaving visitors from around the world in limbo. Efforts springing from the work of seven Utah counties and Utah Gov. Gary Herbert had led to a temporary reopening of the parks Oct. 11, funded with a $1.67 million appropriation from the state paid to the U.S. Department of the Interior.

Commissioners from those counties had met in St. George the previous Monday, expressing serious concern over the effects of the shut-down on the region’s economy. Four of those counties had de-clared states of emergency due to the national park closures. As a recognition of the impor-tance of the national parks to the local economies, the State of Utah, with support from the county commissions worked a deal with the Department of the Interior to reopen the parks.

Loch Wade gave a lecture on ice storage and natural refrigera-tion during the Boulder Harvest Festival Friday, providing nu-merous details on the nature of evaporative cooling and various ways of using that process in lieu of electrified refrigeration.

MOUNTAIN HOME, UTAH - South Dakota ranch-ers and farmers who lost 100,000 head of cattle in win-ter storm Atlas are getting some help from ranchers in Utah and other states.

Rancher Guy Thayne from Mountain Home, Utah is leading an effort to send cows to South Dakota. He says there are commitments in place from within the state to donate about 150 animals.

Thayne adds ranchers coming together across the U.S. can make South Dakota whole again.

“That everyone that owned a herd of cows would give one - and if that were the case, even in the West, we could replace a good lot of those cows for them,” he says.

Thayne is working with Montana rancher Ty Lin-ger, who founded Heifers for

Heifers are needed, as well as volunteers and cash to get the cattle to those who need recovery help the most.

Thayne is calling on ranchers to send their best ani-mals.

“We want them to give the best they got,” he says. “That’s what I did, and hopefully oth-ers will do the same thing. We want good-quality cows.”

Thayne says the cows being given to South Dakota ranchers are valued at up to $1,800 per head.

Volunteers are available statewide to coordinate animal transportation, and all dona-tions are tax deductible.

created from cutting should be left no deeper than 24 inches.

Firewood may be col-lected anywhere on the Dixie National Forest except in the following areas:• Areas posted or identified as

closed on a map that is pro-vided with the permit

• Marked timber sales• Administrative sites• Campgrounds• Picnic grounds

Motorized vehicle travel off designated system roads for the purpose of firewood gathering is limited to 150 feet unless otherwise designated in the firewood permit. It is highly recommended that an official Motorized Vehicle Use Map (Travel Map) is car-ried with the firewood permit. These complimentary maps are available at all ranger dis-trict offices.

To limit damage to the forest road system, please do not drive on muddy roads. If you need suggestions on where to cut, please call or visit your local Forest Service office.

Repayment of the $1.67 million will require action from Congress.

The shutdown had a big effect on local residents, rang-ing from the many furloughed federal employees to concerns about programs such as food stamps, Women and Infant Children and other federally administered programs de-signed to help the poor. Some businesses in Escalante and Boulder reported brisk busi-ness from the many tourists unable to visit the national parks, although other busi-nesses clearly suffered due to the closures.

The concessions at Bull-frog, for instance, almost completely shut down, and a locked up hotel and res-taurant along with numerous cancelled reservations had a serious impact on business in spite of the eventual reopening of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Other busi-nesses, like Ruby’s Inn out-side Bryce Canyon NP, were preparing to shut down when the state-sponsored reopening occurred, creating numerous issues with food suppliers and other purveyors of hospitality industry goods.

Cancelled reservations and tour groups affected a variety of outfitters, motels, restaurants and other tourism-dependent businesses.

10-miler includes a significant uphill portion beginning right at the start line. Still, as every racer knows, running consists of simply putting one foot in front of the other, no matter how steep the road or bad the weather, until – miraculously – the finish line appears.

Races consist of individu-al stories. Among many others: Paul Otterstrom, who added to Boulder’s Coombs family run-ning tradition (his wife, Nola, was the women’s marathon winner last year); Dave Jensen of Cedar Hills, Utah, who re-turned from last year and plans to run the marathon every year using the same race number, and wants to recruit other run-ners he knows from around the world; Riccardo Tortini, who energetically ran 20 miles up and down North Creek the day after finishing second in the marathon (and who talked his parents and friends from Italy into participating in the races); Ken and David Ott, who ran fresh from the previous week’s St. George Marathon; and Da-vid Heaps of North Dakota, who, running alongside his sib-lings as they collectively came in last in the marathon, had enough energy at the finish line

to do a celebratory handstand and back flip!

A hallmark of this race was the excellent pre-race dinner, characterized by fresh ingredi-ents and home-cooking, at Es-calante City Park. And for the cool evening, we had Jerry and Monica Taylor’s sculpted fire pits to warm everyone. Louise Barnes and Melani Torgersen are already thinking about next year’s dinner, and it will con-tinue to be something we high-light. Please remember, this is a community event, and each year everyone is invited.

A few runners this year needed medical attention, and the roaming EMTs and Garfield County Sheriff’s Incident Com-mand headquarters quickly came to their assistance. Dehy-dration, overheating, and sore joints are inherent risks of long-distance races, as is running on the open road. The EMTs, the Garfield Sheriff’s Office, Utah Highway Patrol -- all those involved in keeping our run-ners safe -- are essential to this event and have our profound gratitude.

Several runners com-mented that while they entered the race for the challenge of the course and the opportunity to run in this special landscape, it was the friendliness and spirit of our communities – and espe-

cially our aid station volunteers -- that will bring them back in the future. Thanks are owed to many, including the dedicated race committee, each and every volunteer, those who ensured the runners’ safety, our valued sponsors, and the community leaders who offered their en-dorsement and support.

Particular thanks go to Taylor Duthie, Miss Garfield Outstanding Teen, who pre-sented a medal to each finisher. Taylor showed her character and mettle by staying at the fin-ish line until the last finishers crossed, seven and a half-hours after starting. Her efforts were certainly recognized by the runners, with several telling us that having “Miss Escalante” hand out the medals was an es-pecially nice touch!

The Escalante Canyons Marathon and 10-miler will continue to take place each year on the second Saturday in Oc-tober, with the proceeds going toward community projects in Escalante and Boulder. There will be new challenges as the number of runners increases, but we look forward to making the races even better next time around!

the Alf Museum whose family funded preparation of the fos-sil, revealed nearly the entire skeleton of a baby dinosaur measuring only six feet long when it died.

Detailed study of the skel-eton of “Joe” identified it as the most complete specimen yet known for Parasaurolophus (pronounced PAIR-uh-SORE-AH-luf-us), a duck-billed (hadrosaurid) dinosaur that lived throughout western North America around 75 million years ago. The herbivore is notable for a long and hollow bony tube on the top of its skull, which scientists specu-late was used like a trumpet to blast sound for communica-tion, as well as a billboard for visual display. Although partial skulls and skeletons of full-grown Parasaurolophus have been known for over 90 years, scientists previously knew little about how Parasaurolophus grew up.

Intriguingly, the new fos-sil shows that baby Parasauro-lophus had a low bump on top of its head, which only later morphed into the curved tube of adults. “Our baby Parasau-rolophus is barely one-quarter of adult size, but it had already started growing its crest,” stated lead project scientist Andrew Farke, who is Augustyn Fam-ily Curator at the Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontology. “This is surprising, because related dinosaurs didn’t sprout their ornamentation until they were at least half-grown. Para-saurolophus had to get an early start in order to form its unique headgear.”

A sample of bone from the leg helped estimate the ani-mal’s age at death. “Dinosaurs have yearly growth rings in their bone tissue, like trees. But we didn’t see even one ring. That means it grew to a quar-ter of adult size in less than a year,” commented co-author Sarah Werning of Stony Brook University. Although “Joe” was only six feet long and a year old, it would have grown to 25 feet in length as an adult.

The fossil skeleton has yielded a world of previously unknown information about Parasaurolophus and its rela-tives. Medical scans document-ed the internal anatomy of the animal’s skull, allowing a re-construction of its vocal capa-bilities. “If adult Parasaurolo-phus had ‘woofers,’ the babies had ‘tweeters.’ The short and small crest of baby ‘Joe’ shows that it may have had a much higher pitch to its call than did adults,” stated Andrew Farke. “Along with the visual differ-ences, this might have helped animals living in the same area to figure out who was the big boss.”

Because of the broad im-portance of the fossil, research-ers have made 3D digital scans of the entire fossil freely avail-able on-line (links via www.di-nosaurjoe.com). Although por-tions of other dinosaur fossils have been scanned and distrib-uted in this way before, this the first time that virtually an entire skeleton has been posted. This will allow scientists and the public alike unparalleled access to this fossil.

The study describing the new fossil was published today in the open access scientific journal PeerJ (meaning that anyone can read and download the article for free, and without restrictions). Additionally, the specimen is now on exhibit at the Raymond M. Alf Museum

of Paleontology in Claremont, California. Researchers who co-authored the study include Andrew Farke (Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontol-ogy, Claremont, California), Sarah Werning (University of California Museum of Pale-ontology, Berkeley, and Stony Brook University, New York), and high school students Der-ek Chok, Annisa Herrero, and Brandon Scolieri (The Webb Schools, Claremont, Califor-nia). The fossil was collected under a permit from Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and the Bureau of Land Management, Utah.

Escalante High School NewsEHS students have been

busy this week. Tuesday was Neon Day! Those sport-ing neon shirts, pants, or hats were photographed at the Red Rocks. Watch our yearbook for those “bright” pics!

The Criminal Justice class spent a period collecting fingerprints. Sounds serious, doesn’t it? (No crime scene. Just practice!) Mr. Fisher, their instructor, has a back-ground in police procedures and is excited to help his stu-dents learn. They were able to pull prints from windows in the classroom. Mr. Fisher, you were identified!

Be Yourself!“There was once

a herd of elephants. Elephants young, elephants old, ele-phants tall and short, fat and thin. All were different but all were happy and almost all were the same color. All except Elmer. El-mer was not elephant color. He was patch-work.”

Ms. Davis’ 2nd grade class at Loa El-ementary School has just finished an El-mer the Elephant unit. Students read Elmer by David McKee and talked about the importance of being yourself even if that means being differ-ent. After reading other books in the Elmer series each child was able to create their own Patch-work Elmer. A big thank you to Mr. Scott Christensen of Boulder Innovations (Bicknell, UT) for donating the wood elephant cutouts.

The students and faculty of Panguitch High were all smiles and Bobcat pride on Monday morning, as they were quickly rushed into a celebratory assembly. The cause for celebration? The answer to that required no more than a quick glance at the shiny new state trophy that sat at the podium- front and center. After a triumphant and hard-working season, Coach Barney and the baseball team had returned from a weekend at UVU with another state title for PHS. This impres-sive achievement marks three consecutive years of state championship baseball victory, as well as two consecutive seasons as an undefeated team. Our proud coach himself mentioned the work ethic of the team, and also gave a shout out to Keldon Norris and Tyce Barney, who, along with being important members of the team, were both awarded Academic All-State for 1A baseball.

As Miss Caine would say : “Wow guys, really!?” The baseball team’s impressive accom-plishment was only one of many things for the proud members of PHS to celebrate this week. Working hard for a possible state title of their own, the volleyball girls met the Mustangs from Bryce Valley in a competitive game. The cross country team, while not competing this week, still put in a good week of practices to prepare for their state competition on the 23rd and hope to give a repeat performance of their success at Valley last week. Good luck is wished to both teams as they near the end of their seasons.

The week ended in happy fashion as well, as students got to have a little vacation. Thursday(due to UEA) became a half-day, and Bobcats happily took an early lunch to enjoy a long weekend, with no school being held on friday due to UEA as well. The students can also rejoice in knowing that Monday is Harvest Day, and also grants a day free of school. Happy faces and eager hunters will be seen all around town, while the teachers of PHS use the time to catch up on grades as the end of the first quarter gets closer and closer.

SALT LAKE CITY – Imagine giving your child the chance to compose and record music through a virtual instru-ment with presentations and demonstrations shaped by fac-ulty from the world-famous Juilliard School in New York City…all from the comfort of your home. Utah Connections Academy (UCA), a tuition-free, fully accredited K-12 public online school, is offering students statewide the oppor-tunity to take Juilliard eLearn-ing courses through a unique collaboration formed between Connections Education (UCA’s parent company) and the world-famous conservatory—free of charge.

“Utah Connections Acad-emy now provides an opportu-nity for students to explore the art of music anywhere there is an Internet connection,” said Linda Harless, Principal of Utah Connections Academy. In the 2013-14 school year, Utah Connections Academy expects to serve nearly 750 students statewide.

Studies published by the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies have shown that students who engage in the arts throughout the school year are more successful academically. Playing an instrument has also been shown to reverse stress levels at the molecular level, according to studies conduct-ed by Loma Linda University School of Medicine and Ap-plied Biosystems (as published in the Feb. 2005 issue of Medi-cal Science Monitor), which may help students learn and achieve optimally.

Juilliard eLearning was recently named a winner of ComputED Gazette’s 18th An-nual Education Software Re-view Awards (EDDIE Awards) for curriculum excellence in the Music/Fine Arts category. Con-nections Education was hon-ored with a total of four EDDIE Awards for 2013.

Four Juilliard eLearning music courses are currently available to UCA students, schools and districts:

Experiencing Music—Students in grades K–2 are introduced to basic compo-nents of music in this course including melody and rhythm. Students will shape these com-ponents and explore their own voices through performing and composing beats, different rhythms, and melodies. In ad-dition, students will use their critical listening skills to ana-lyze music they see and hear as they participate in interactive experiences developed by The Juilliard School and Connec-tions Education.

Garfield School Board DeclarationAs elected members of the Garfield County School Board, we would like to let our constitu-

ents know our view on the “Voted Local Levy”. Registered voters will soon vote on this impor-tant point. Please know, as Garfield County School Board members, we have been studying and reviewing the issue for over a year. Based on our findings, we believe a vote in favor of the Voted Local Levy is the best fiscally stable decision we can recommend to the tax payers. As a Board, we will use the money to replace dilapidating structures in the District. The Voted Local Levy will continue to improve educational opportunities for students throughout Garfield School Dis-trict. We will continually strive to improve the education students receive in the District and the Voted Local Levy is a critical piece of the puzzle. Thank you for selecting us to be your represen-tatives on the Garfield County School Board. If you have questions, please contact us anytime

Every year on October 1st the District must submit to the Utah State Office of Education the number of students enrolled in each class. The State then funds the District on the weighted pupil unit for each student. The weighted pupil unit (WPU) is the basic source of funding for public education and accounts for about one-third of all school funding in the District. In the 2013 Legis-lative session, HB 2 set the WPU at $2,659 for special education and CTE (career and technology education) add-on programs and $2,899 for all other programs. If you average all of the available funding spent on students in the State of Utah in 2013 in all areas, it would total $6,212 per student. Utah spent less per student in elementary and secondary education than any other state in the na-tion. New York had the highest spending per student at $19,076. Despite the low spending, Utah continued to have above-average test scores in reading and math. Utah also has more than 90% of adults who have graduated from high school. The enrollment for the October 1st count for the 2013-2014 school year is as follows:

Utah Students Statewide Tap Into Music Courses from Juilliard eLearning

Utah Connections Academy, tuition-free public online school, provides premium music classes

signed for students in grades 3–5, this course teaches stu-dents fundamental musician-ship skills from a Western-Classical approach. The course challenges students to develop their listening, analysis, per-formance, composition, and improvisation skills through studying standard repertoire pieces. Students also learn how to read music, are introduced to types of instruments and fami-lies of instruments, and intro-duced to music style periods. With audio, visual, and interac-tive technologies provided by both The Juilliard School and Connections Education, the course provides a unique and advanced learning experience for students in these grades.

Exploring Music—Stu-dents in grades 6-8 will devel-op their appreciation for music as they hone their listening, no-tation, analysis, performance, and improvisation skills. Stu-dents gain an understanding of the different families of the or-chestra and use the interactive instruments and tools in the course to apply their skills and compose their own music. The Juilliard School and Connec-tions Education have created a dynamic, hands-on experi-ence ideal for middle school students.

Living Music—High school students study rhythm, beats, notation, and music history in this wide-ranging course. The relationships be-tween different sections of the orchestra are explored, and students are exposed to the concepts of improvisation and composition. Students use so-phisticated interactive tools,

including a virtual instrument and digital sampler created by Connections Education to ar-range their own music. High school students come away from this course shaped by The Juilliard School, with a greater appreciation of music and a greater understanding of how the fundamental concepts of music are developed through Western-Classical history.

Among the innovative and dynamic learning tools that bring music to life:

Virtual Music Tools—Each course provides students with the chance to put their mu-sic instruction into practice by using virtual music tools. Stu-dents compose and record their own music, leading to greater appreciation and greater under-standing. Virtual instruments available for students include a xylophone, piano, and violin, among others.

Faculty Video Demonstra-tions—Students access videos featuring firsthand instruction from faculty and alumni from The Juilliard School and oth-ers demonstrating technique and discussing music theory. These videos are only available through the Juilliard eLearning courses.

Student Performance Videos—Developed exclu-sively for Juilliard eLearning courses, these videos feature student performers explaining techniques, demonstrating in-struments, and playing pieces in the repertoire. These videos bring the music study to life for students.—Utah Connections Academy

Lady Cats Show Their Stuff Wayne Sportsby bethAny LAmb

Last week boys baseball went to the state tournament. They did very well, but lost against Piute in a close game. Well done boys! This week is a big one. This week we’ve got region vol-leyball and state cross-country! The girls volleyball are entering the tournament ranked third from our region. This will take place at Piute High School. Good luck ladies! Cross country coach Sarah Taylor has provided us with an overview of the cross-country’s team’s season. The Wayne High boys’ and girls’ cross-country teams are having a fine 2013 season.

The boys’ team has seen many improvements and successes throughout the season. With the addition of three freshman (Clayton Van Dyke, Dal Nelson, and Cody Brittain), we have had a complete boys’ team at nearly every meet. We look forward to seeing this young team gain con-fidence and strength for seasons to come. Boys’ team members: Riley Cook, Brogan Reynolds, Brandon Oyler, Andrew Faddis, Clayton Van Dyke, Dal Nelson, and Cody Brittain The girls’ team has been running consistently well--winning five of their seven regular-season meets, and plac-ing second at the Region 20 championship race. The girls’ team has been spending the last week getting mentally and physi-cally ready for the 1A State Championships at Sugarhouse Park next Wednesday, Octo-ber 23rd (@ 11:00). It looks to be an exciting race as the girls run against some good teams from Region 20 and others throughout the state. Girls’ team members: Catrina Johnson, Clarissa Johnson, Maggie Ellett, Brooke Bar-ney, Hannah Ellett, Carlie Chappell, Breeanna Brown, Tesson Simmons, Kassidy El-lett, Kailee Blackburn, Sami Knutson, and Rebecca Oyler.

Preceding the varsity race at each meet, most schools also have a junior varsity team that competes by run-ning a 1.5 mile race. Wayne Middle School represented itself well through the efforts of several Wolverine athletes: West Saunders, Hailey Sne-degar, Vanessa Barlow, Kylie Knutson, and Brynnli Nelson.

Go on down and support our sports teams at their tour-naments. Good luck! Badgers #1!

The 4th graders in Gar-field District and the Piute School Distric had a Marvelous two days of hands-on learning about Utah’s Past and Present from professionals in Southern Utah. Sixty-six students from Bryce Valley Elem., Panguitch Elem., and Antimony met at Bryce Valley on Sept. 18th and 19th to participate in 18 work-shops.

In Circleville, the students met at the Circleville Elemen-tary School with Janetta Dal-ton overseeing the two day events for that school. Stu-dents through out Piute County were in attendance during this time which included Oscarson elementary in Marysville and Circleville Elementary.

The students were very excited to learn about the Ana-sazi culture from Suzi Hough from Anasazi Indian State Park and the Fremont culture from Cindy Micheli from Capitol Reef National Park. As part of their cultural experience the students used an atlatl to throw a long dart/spear at a cardboard mammoth. Along with the atlatl Katie Pitts from Bryce Canyon Nat’l Park helped the students experience the roles of members in a tribe as they played a game. Flo Yearsley, from Fremont Indian State Park, brought live white bun-nies for the students to hold as

Cindy Michelli from Capitol Reef NP is the instructor with these students and the atlatl.

The Lady Cats went up against Bryce Valley and had a pretty easy time. The Lady Mustang’s are in a rebuilding year, with new coaches and have a lot of young players on their team. Tomor-row, Friday the 25th will be region at Piute, its not that far, come on up and show the Ladies your support. State will be held next week at UVU, the Cats will be playing in the Tournament hoping to improve on their 5th place finish last year.

Yesterday, Wednesday the 23rd will the State Cross Country at Sugar House Park. The Lady Cats will be defending last year’s title. In my opinion, from the results of Region races they are a better team this year. The Boys with both sets of twins, (Norris and Andersons) really blazing the way. The boy have really improved since the 1st races, they hope to improve from their 2nd place finish last year. And again going off their region finish I think that their Coaches Danny and Jen can motivate both teams to do their best.

Last week I left one my favorite young men off the Region Academic Team, Rowdy Miller. Rowdy is going a long way in life, with his hard work ethics.

As the fall sports come to an end, the winter sports will be starting; boys and girls basketball and wrestling. It is not too late to get season tickets, come on in to the school, they are the only games in town.

PANGUITCH 4 YEAR CITY COUNCIL POSITION

MACK OETTING I have served as a Panguitch City Councilperson before and I feel that experience will help me perform the duties of this position more effectively if elected.. I am retired and have the time to serve on committees, attend meetings, and represent Panguitch when the oc-casion arises. I am very active in the community with my volunteer efforts, I have been honored by being named volunteer of the year in Garfield County, 2012. At last years primary, a survey was conducted by the City to see if there was any interest in a community swimming pool due to the closure of the High School pool. The results indicated that almost a 4 to 1vote in favor of looking into the feasibility of building a pool, I agree with the majority. If we have a swimming pool around 500 kids in our area will have an opportunity to learn to swim. It will also be available to many of our people who use swimming in their exercise programs. It would be an asset for the motels in town, for their guest, so they can compete with the bigger resorts that have pools in our area. If elected to the city council I will make a community swimming pool a priority. I will do what I can to bring the information of the cost of the pool to the public so it can be voted on by the Panguitch citizens. The City Council is a very important elected position because the City Council person is accessible to each of you. I will take this position very serious if elected and I will work hard to leave the position better than when I got there. I would appreciate your vote. This is a vote by mail election, please don’t take it lightly. Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, commenting on the criticism of him stated, “If you do something, somebody’s going to like it and somebody is not going to like it. And if you do nothing, nobody will criticize you, but wouldn’t that be a terrible life?” Please mail in that ballot:Mack Oetting

Fourth Graders Enjoy “Utah Past and Present” Workshops

she taught them about their importance to that extinct tribe. What we can learn from artifacts was discovered by the students as they met with Marian Jacklin from the For-est Service in Cedar City. The students made cordage brace-lets with Benn Pikyavit from Pipe Springs Nat’l Monument. The pioneer culture was expe-rienced through a presentation by Stephen Rudolph, also from Pipe Springs Nat’l Monument, as the students did math and decided what they would take in their wagon. Arta Hepworth helped the students hand stitch blocks together to piece a blanket. The students listened attentively while Dylan Hep-worth taught about uniforms and weapons used by soldiers in the field today. Melanie Muir was the storyteller and she taught the students les-sons through traditional native American stories.

The students also did core studies in the Science area. They learned the uses of local plants from Kevin Heaton of the USU Extension Division from Panguitch. Weather In-struments and how weather af-fects fire was taught by Josey Muse from the Forest Service Escalante District. Aging rocks with fossils was taught by Ka-tie Lodder from Bryce Canyon Nat’l Park.

A local artist and teach-er of art, Irene Von Schock Brockdorff, brought a Fine Arts experience to the students with drawing and origami, paper folding a coyote head. They were totally engrossed in the project as they worked to get finished. The finished product was fascinating and well done by the students.

Before the event was end-ed the students were treated to an Indian Taco lunch at Tropic Park prepared for them by their teachers and parent helpers. The authentic fry bread made by Arta Hepworth and the not so traditional chocolate rice krispies were a hit with every-one! In Circleville Arta taught the students to make Indian Fry Bread and they ate their experi-ments with delight and lots of honey butter. Yummy!!

The 4th grade students want to thank all the presenters for the time they spent teaching them! It was a lot of FUN and something we’ll treasure about 4th grade!

Also a huge thanks goes to Vicki Syrett, a retired teacher, for planning and organizing an-other Terrific Two Day Learn-ing Experience about Utah’s Past and Present for our stu-dents!

ESCALANTE - Velma Porter Boulter, age 95, of Escalan-te, passed at the Garfield Memorial Hospital in Panguitch, on Tuesday morning, October 15, 2013.

Velma was born June 11, 1918 in Escalante to Roland Por-ter and Mina Haws. She was the oldest of eight and is survived by brothers Vergean and Bobby with sisters Maxine and Yoland.

Velma also left a legacy through her daughter Sondra, four grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren all of whom were the center of her thoughts each day.

V e l m a grew up in Es-calante and r e m a i n e d there until she met Willard “Bunch” Arlin Boulter in the fall of ‘36 when he was in Es-

calante working for the CCC. They were married July 21, 1937 and moved to Price, UT where their only child, Sondra, was born. Velma then moved to San Francisco where she remained for 25 years. She was blessed to have served in many church stake and ward Relief Societies, as well as the Oakland Temple.

In 1959 the family was sealed in the Los Angeles Temple. Velma and Bunch moved to Long Beach, CA where Velma would remain for another 10 years, again serving in the Church. Velma and Bunch’s next stop was Provo, UT where they re-mained until Bunch’s passing in 1984. Velma then returned home to her beloved Escalante where she was once again heavi-ly involved in Church, as well as the Senior Citizen program and the Daughters of Utah Pioneers, where she served as a member for over 60 years and continued to teach up until her early 90’s.

Velma loved church books, crocheting, and shopping at DI every chance she got. More than anything, though, she loved her daughter, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She loved taking every opportunity to teach them about their strong church history and pioneer heritage.

She was loved deeply by her family and will be missed by many. Her passion for her heritage will live on thru her descen-dants. Notwithstanding her beloved mission to serve her Heav-enly Father will continue on. We thank her for the lessons taught and the memories we have. We hope to see you soon “Kid!”

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, October 19, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. in the Escalante 2nd Ward Chapel, where friends may call on Saturday from 9:30 to 10:30 prior to services. Burial will be in the Escalante Cemetery. Funeral Directors, Magleby Mortuary, Richfield, Salina and Manti. Online guest book www.maglebymortuary.com

Last Thursday we had the Great Shoot Out at the Fire House, where over 300 folks came by and got their flu shots. There were plenty of volunteers willing to help out with this endeavor and everything went very smooth. Many thanks to all of the kind souls that vol-unteered their time. Its kind of cool the way you just drive into the engine bay and stick out your arm and you are out of there. For the kids over 2, there is a nasal spray, to make it easier on the young ones.

Saturday was the start of the regular deer hunt. I am some what envious, never be-ing a hunter, I look at this as the third best family get together, in the year ranking right there with Christmas and Thanksgiv-ing. I believe the season goes on for a long time, starting in August with the bow hunt, black powder and then the Elk hunt begins. Quite a few of the town folks got either a cow or spike elk, I do love jerky if you are looking for a place to get rid of your meat. (comment from Pat - when it has been made into jerky!)

Halloween comes on Thursday the 31 this year; don’t forget the Elementary school parade. The parade starts at the school at 10am; goes around the block pass Joe’s market and back to the school. It’s really fun with the kids and teacher who are in costumes, bundle up, and bring your cameras for some great shots.

Lots going on in Novem-ber, starting with the Christmas Craft Fair, at the Fair building, it will be held on Saturday the 9th and will run all day long. There will be that great candy booth, raising funds for Sub for Santa. There will be lots of good crafts available that make really good Christmas gifts, so come early for the best of the best.

On 11-11, Veterans Day, the American Legion’s annual dinner will be held at the Senior Citizens Center and food will be supplied by the wonderful cooks, which cook and serve the seniors three days a week. All Veterans and their spouses are invited; also we would be honored to have the Widows of

Veterans come. The members of the Auxiliary to the Ameri-can Legion are also included yearly and encouraged to at-tend. Good food, good compa-ny and entertainment, it doesn’t get any better. Please give me a call so we can get some num-bers. (676-2418)

This will be the 5th annual Thanksgiving dinner, which is sponsored by the Lions Club. This dinner gets bigger each year. Thanksgiving can be lonely time, so come on over and enjoy some turkey and some great company. The din-ner will also be held at the Se-nior Center on Nov. 28,

In December, Christmas in the Country is including and event called “The Joy of Christ-mas featuring Nativity’s and Ginger Bread Houses” or some-thing like that! Pat said to tell the first 7 families that call her (676-2418) she will give you a free ginger bread house kit. Of course you must show it on December 21st when the event takes place. More information will be available soon. Decem-ber looks very busy and fun!

Correction from last week’s column, Janice Hatch was asked to take over the Su-perintendent position and she did her position and the super-intendent’s job for a year at no pay increase. Janice and the business manager worked end-lessly to bail the district out for a year with out any further com-pensation. The Garfield School District was Janice’s passion and she would do anything to help out where she could. She did receive a small pay increase when she took over the Super-intendent’s job fulltime, again doing both jobs.

During the time after Gov-ernor Huntsman left office, the State cut the teachers wages by 5%, I don’t know, maybe that was the Legislatures way to keep Utah’s teachers in last place in the Country pay wise. Many thanks to Superintendent Dalton for putting the wages of the school district employees in print. Superintendent Dalton is the first superintendent to take the time, to keep the tax pay-ers in Garfield Co. informed in what is happening in the Dis-trict.

A friend of mine who re-cently moved here, asked me if PHS only had 133 students. I said that PHS was one of the largest 1-A schools in the State. Most of the 1-A schools include the 7th and 8th in their student number count. Pan-guitch has 74 in the 7th and 8th grade and would have 207 in their student body if these two grades were included. Bryce Valley has 131 and Escalante has 71 if you include the 7th and 8th grades.

The furloughed Federal employees are back and the government shut down is at an end. Federal workers will all receive back pay, for their fur-loughed time. It is not like you are on vacation because you can’t go anywhere. Most of the employees would much rather be working than sitting around. The loss for the travel industry was $160 million, every day that the government was shut down, in the USA alone. The State that put out the money to open the parks shouldn’t cost them too much, as the Federal government. is giving the park employees their back wages.

The ballots for City Coun-cil seats have been mailed out, please take the time to look at them and vote. I hope that the Insider will have a few short words from the Candidates in this issue.

Back to China. Our sec-ond day in Beijing we visited the Great Wall and oh what a sight! The Great Wall is about 4,000 miles long. It runs from the Yalu river in Liaoning Province, it snakes westward across mountains, deserts and

snow covered plateaus. The construction lasted 2000 years from the 7th century BC during the Spring and Autumn Period till the 17th century AD. and the Ming Dynasty.

The Great Wall has be-come a symbol of the Chinese nation, representing its per-sistence and bravery. Over 8 million workers died while working on the wall, about 1 for each yard of construction. It is considered to be one of the seven wonders of the world.

We went to the Badaling section where we did our walk-ing, Pat decided that we would go to the highest outlook in sight. The steps are all different sizes from 2” to a foot, tough walking up, but much harder coming down. We were the only couple to make it to the top in our group, but the view was well worth it. Once we made it to the top, we could of walked another two miles on a flat area that laid ahead, but we didn’t have the time. The Wall has always been worked on over the years, doing repairs the whole length of the Wall. They figured out 3,000 years ago that if they used rice paste in the mortar that it would last and it is as good as when they put it down, three thousand years ago. We will cross the Great Wall off our bucket list.

My birthday is coming up shortly and on this trip I learned another advantage to old age if you are 75, you don’t have to take off your shoes, when you go through security, which is another perk that comes with a lot of birthdays.

Have no fear, all is well.

It has been a rather tough week in Rabbit Valley.

You would know the se-cret of death. But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life? The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot un-veil the mystery of light. If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life. For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one. In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowl-edge of the beyond; And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring. Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity. Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shep-herd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour. Is the sheered not joyful beneath his trembling, that he shall wear the mark of the king? Yet is he not more mindful of his trem-bling? For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And what is to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and ex-pand and seek God unencum-bered? Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the moun-taintop, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance. Kahil Gibran

At this time of year when the leaves begin to fall it is with fond memories that we as family and friends remem-ber the lives of Emmett Clark, Kathleen Knight, Aunt Nellie Hatch, and LaFair. They have truly reached the mountain-top and through their life ex-amples, and hopefully without too much difficulty we too should be able to find our way.

Un-like Las Vegas what often happens in Wayne Coun-ty can spread faster than a monsoonal flash flood and as often as not the mis-informa-tion that gets disseminated far and wide can take on a life of

its own. Generally the real ru-mors in Wayne County begin to pop up about a month after the holidays when the days are shorter than the nights and firewood piles are in serious need of attention.

But with the advent of cells phones, satellite TV, so-cial media sites, instant mes-saging and a winter supply of wood pellets, and the well stocked liquor store in Bick-nell, just about anyone can ruin or call into question their neighbors good reputation. And all it takes is a 15 MB (but in reality a 12 MB) Inter-net connection, a double shot pot of extra strength Postum or almond Amaretto coffee, a well-worn pair of Fred Flint-stone or Winnie the Pooh flan-nel pajamas and a somewhat sticky computer keyboard.

As if living life under a super sized microscope or an all-observable dome, life in Wayne County is a shared, publicly and highly scrutinize able experience. The type of life experiences that only Bar-bra Ekker or Dennis Ekker or maybe even in a commentary during Paul Harvey’s “The rest of the story” could ever

come close to describing.Local Wayne County

heritage is very steeped in cul-tural and family traditions. So much so that at times present day life in Rabbit Valley is and can be so highly charged that any outside observer might think that Wayne County is a heavenly lightning rod. Yet in reality what happens in Wayne County is just as reflective as a clean mirror prominently placed in full view of any community, anywhere.

What can and does make us special as wanton com-munity members in Wayne County is our personal desire and ability to clearly see the un-obstruction able path to the mountaintop. For anyone to think or feel otherwise is and always be counter productive.

Living local does not nec-essarily mean having to pay less for services unless you are a contractor hoping to survive. Throughout Wayne County and the Southwest gas prices are noticeably and surprisingly different.

Travelers and locals a like are taking notice and most are willing to take the gamble and drive on fumes all the way to

Loa to save 20 cents a gallon in Torrey and 10 cents a gallon in Bicknell. For those that are headed to Sevier County or even to Boulder and beyond, keeping a spare gallon of gas in your trunk may prove be a savings of 30 cents a gallon or more.

The real news in Torrey Town has yet to take place, soon the leaf wars will begin and it will quickly become ap-parent who has purchased the most powerful leaf blower in town. Al Dieffenbach on the east end of 100 north in Tor-rey has generally been known to lead the pack as far a lawn power equipment is con-cerned. Driving around Torrey Town it is also visibly appar-ent those that take a dedicat-ed community effort in well maintaining their property.

Scarecrows and Hallow-een decorations continue to make their scary appearance on the lawns and streets in Torrey Town as well as in all communities in Wayne Coun-ty. The 2013 Trick or Treat season is proving to be an exceptionally scary night for trick or treaters seeking candy treats. Hopefully the jack o lanterns and display pumpkins make it through until Novem-ber.

My guess is that anyone planning to make a pump-kin mess on Halloween night might have a real surprise of their own in store and should reconsider. Especially in the Torrey area where the “Neigh-borhood Watch” will strategi-cally station trail cams through out town to capture images of vandals. If caught individuals will be required to spend their summers doing community service, mucking out ditches, and helping the little old ladies doing yard work.

In Torrey Town as much Halloween candy and the scar-iest of treats can be anticipated for all who dare to knock on our doors. Halloween in Tor-rey is not a night for the timid, or anyone prominently prone to diarrhea.

KayLynn Shakespear is engaged to be married to Jacob Maxfield on November 23rd. They plan on getting married in the Salt Lake Temple. Con-gratulations to the happy cou-ple. We are so excited for you Kay Lynn. Parents are Carl and Kay Shakespear of Tropic.

Mathew and Stephanie Shakespear have a wonderful new little girl, Lynsie Maren is her name and she weighed in at 8 lbs. 6 ozs and was 20 3/4 inches long. Lynsie joins her three sisters and two broth-ers at home in Natches, Wash-inton. She was born on the 10th of October. Grandparents in Tropic are Carl and Kay Shakespear. Grandkids are so wonderful. Congratulations to the family.

Anita and Erica Fletch-er went to Mesa Arizona to visit with Jon and Stephanie Scott. While they were there they were able to attend the Temple sealing of the Scott’s three daughters to the family. The other three children were all dressed in white also so they could attend the sealing of their sisters. All of Alma and Anita’s other children were in attendance to give their sup-port. Anita said it was a beau-tiful day and the weather was great.

Coming up on the 30th of October is the “Haunted Wagon Ride”. You can pur-chase tickets at the Ballpark concession stand and have an exciting ride. It is improved this year, I was told and will be an eventful ride full of scary things for the riders. Be sure to come out and support this ride. If you are brave enough.

The very next day will be the Halloween Carnival at the El-ementary School. The students will be released from school at 2:30 P.M.so they can get into their costumes. Parents take note of this time for your con-venience. The parade of cos-tumes will begin at 3:00 P.M. and the carnival then will com-mence at 3:30 P.M. There is a lot of planning and hard work put into this carnival and the PTA appreciates the support of the community. There is always lots of fun booths and good food available so come out and enjoy Halloween Trop-ic style. See you there!!

On October 20th there will be a special broadcast in the Tropic Ward for all. It is the “Century of Honor” broad-cast to celebrate 100 years of Boy Scouts. There will be an open house at 6:00 P.M. with many scouting displays. At 6:45 P.M. there will be a flag cermony and at 7:00 P.M. the LDS-BSA Special Broadcast will take place. Everyone is invited.

Louise Patterson is ex-cited to have a new metal roof installed on her home in Hen-rieville It is thanks to many of her family members, neighbors and son Keith’s friends who came to honor his memory. Louise when you hear a loud noise during the snow season your roof isn’t caving in it is just the snow sliding off. The first time you hear it is very scary.

Brady and Shawnee Syrett and Mondell and Flor-ence Syrett went up to Salt Lake to attend a Basketball Scrimmage game between

West Wyoming College and other schools up that way. Whitni Syrett is on the West-ern Wyoming College Basket-ball team and she played in this event and did very well. Brady and Shawnee are her parents and Mondell and Flor-ence are the grandparents. The team won three of the four games they played.

Don’t forget about the Flu Shots going on up at Ruby’s Inn on the 24th of Oc-tober. It will run from 1:00 P.M. until 4:00 P.M. The cost is $18.00 unless you have in-surance that pays for the shots. $25.00 for those that get Nasal Spray instead. You can save time by logging onto www.swuhealth.org to download the consent form. Print it out,

fill it in and bring it with you and be sure to wear a short sleeved shirt.

We are looking for a high school student to do the news for Bryce Valley HS. If you are interested please let us know.

The Henrieville Relief Society Women had a show and share activity. There was lots of talent shared and shown at the event. Wonderful was also served and a good time was had by all.

Well everyone just had a long weekend and we hope everyone had a great time and stayed safe. Please call or email if you have news. Thanks VS.

tHe lAuGhiNg pOiNt!!

Attorney Jeff McKenna hiking with his son in Zion National Park

RepairsMy sister has the courage,

but not always the skills, to tackle any home repair project.

For example, in her garage are pieces of a lawn mower she once tried to fix. So I wasn’t sur-prised the day I found her attack-ing the vacuum cleaner with a screwdriver.

“I can’t get this thing to co-operate,” she explained when she saw me.

I suggested, “Why don’t you drag it out to the garage and show it the lawn mower?”

Credit Card ProblemStanding in line at the clothing store’s counter, I watched

as the woman ahead of me handed the clerk her credit card. The customer waited for a long time while the saleswoman went to verify the account.

When she finally returned, the clerk said, “I’m sorry, but this card is in your husband’s name, and we can’t accept it because the records show he is deceased.”

With that, the woman turned to her spouse, who was stand-ing next to her and asked, “Does this mean I don’t have to fix lunch for you today?”

Animal CrackersWhen the mother returned

from the grocery store, her small son pulled out the box of animal crackers he had begged for. Then he spread the animal-shaped crackers all over the kitchen counter.

“What are you doing?” his mom asked.

“The box says you can’t eat them if the seal is broken,” the boy explained. “I’m looking for the seal.”

OpenThis couple was head-

ing to the hospital with their 16-year-old daughter, who was scheduled to undergo a tonsillectomy. During the ride they talked about the proce-dure.

“Dad,” the teenager asked “how are they going to keep my mouth open during surgery?”

Without hesitation her fa-ther quipped, “They’re going to give you a phone.”

Writing Your Own Will?by Jeffery J. mckennA

Wills, Trusts, and More

K9 DivisionA friend of mine is a dep-

uty with the sheriff’s depart-ment canine division.

One evening, the deputy was dispatched to the scene of a possible burglary, where he discovered the back door of a building ajar. He let the dog out of his patrol car gave the command to enter and seek.

Jumping from the back seat, the dog headed for the building. After lunging through the doorway, the dog froze and backed out. My friend was puzzled until he in-vestigated further. Then he no-ticed the sign on the building: “Veterinarian’s Office.”

A holographic will is a will that is written entirely in your own handwriting. No wit-nesses are required, and no por-tion of the will may be typed. If you type some or all of the words, or you incorporate other markings or other documents into the text, you could inad-vertently invalidate the will.

The idea behind holo-graphic wills is that since the entire document is in a person’s handwriting, there is no need for witnesses to sign it to es-tablish its validity. Holographic wills don’t need to be notarized either, but they do need to be signed.

Most lawyers would tell you it’s a bad idea to write your own will because you can eas-ily create ambiguities and other defects that can lead to litiga-tion following your death. This is especially true in second marriage situations when one or both spouses have children from prior marriages or rela-tionships.

If you decide to write your own will, you should be sure to say in the introductory sentence that it is your will, and that you are revoking all prior wills. If you don’t revoke all prior wills, your handwritten will and any other wills that have not been revoked will be looked at to-gether to determine who inher-its your estate. As you may ex-pect, problems arise when the various documents conflict.

Be sure to identify each bequest clearly and to give away all of your property. A frequent problem with hand-written wills is that they list some accounts and properties, but then leave out others. Prop-erty that you don’t mention in

your will passes to your heirs as determined by the courts. Your heirs may not be the same per-sons named in your will, and may not be the ones you would have chosen to receive the as-sets. Also, going to court and figuring out who your heirs are can be an expensive and time-consuming matter. In addition, courts will require two wit-nesses who are familiar with your handwriting to testify that the will was, in fact, written by you.

It’s often the case that handwritten wills don’t name a personal representative. Failure to name a personal representa-tive could result in an adminis-tration of your estate that is ful-ly court-supervised, expensive, and lengthy.

Another important provi-sion that is often left out of a holographic will is a waiver of bond. When you don’t request a waiver, the judge can require that your personal representa-tive post a bond. Sometimes, it’s not possible to even get a bond, and if your personal representative can get one, it is generally expensive.

There are a number of oth-er provisions that should be in-cluded in wills that the average person would almost certainly

leave out of a holographic will. Handwritten wills are val-

id if they are properly drafted. However, they are almost al-ways more difficult to probate than typed wills. Hopefully, this article has provided some useful information with respect to creating your own will.

The 2013 TEEN Leader-ship Training (TLT) at Utah State University in Logan, over UEA weekend, was fan-tastic.

Garfield and Wayne County 4-Her’s in attendance had the opportunity to par-ticipate in amazing workshops and activities. Rachel Gardner (9th grade Garfield County TLT participant) said, “my fa-vorite part was the town hall meeting, well and the dance.”

Over 200 4-H youth and leaders had the chance to par-ticipate in a two hour town hall meeting- known as “Teen take on Health” a solution for a healthier America, because of the 1 million dollar dona-tion Molina Healthcare has made to 4-H. Youth voiced their opinions about the health issues they see in their com-munities and brainstormed so-lution to these problems. Mo-lina Healthcare is now going to review the ideas and will fund implementation of one of the programs they feel is the best idea (best of luck to our county’s ideas).

Besides the traditional events youth always look forward to (the dance, the ultimate “Ultimate Frisbee” game, T-shirt spray painting, making new friends, the long road trip and amazing food at

Exciting news for Garfield and Wayne County 4-H: All Hands on Deck!

the Market Place Grill) youth participated in workshops to build their leadership skill and abilities.

Workshops included: Ser-vice Projects, Creating and strengthening 4-H Teen Coun-cils, Community Assessments, Armor of Leadership, Elevator Speeches, Team Work, Find-ing and Using Talents, How not to back down and Hypno Hick.

On the last day of this fun filled camp youth rotated through additional workshop to increase their knowledge about 4-H including; the State 4-H Ambassador Program where students selected re-ceive a $10,000 scholarship to USU, The “Big 4” or 4 main events hosted by Utah State 4-H (Winter Retreat, Mock Legislature, State Contests and TLT), a Chain of Ser-vice where youth recognized the importance of service in their own communities, and SMART Goals where youth took on the State 4-H Ambas-sadors challenge and created a: Specific, Measureable, Attain-able, Relevant, and Timely goal.

Goals for the youth in Wayne and Garfield Coun-ties vary from competing and winning a state 4-H contest to starting a new 4-H club to bet-

ter as well as address a need in their community.

Caleb Cloud (9th grader for Tropic) said, “I want to start a 4-H Robotics club in my community to help youth understand and want to get in-volved in technology” and his brothers John and Ben are on board to help him make this happen.

Cassie Lyman the 4-H program assistant for Garfield County said, “It is exciting to see youth in Garfield and Wayne Counties want to take action and make a difference in their community. I love the 4-H program. I am so thank-ful to have a job where I get to watch kids grow into some-thing more, these kids will become the leaders of tomor-row and they give me hope for future generations. They truly are ‘Joining the 4-H Revolu-tion of Responsibility”. The 2013 Teen Leadership Train-ing theme All Hands on Deck is what it takes to make a dif-ference! Anyone interested in being part of the 4-H pro-gram as a volunteer leader or a youth participant can contact their local USU Extension Of-fice for more information.

SALT LAKE CITY - President Barack Obama’s pledge to fix the technical is-sues plaguing healthcare.gov will help Utah and several other states.

Obama is promising to improve functionality on the website where Americans are trying to enroll in the Afford-able Care Act (ACA).

Jason Stevenson, educa-tion and communications di-rector at Utah Health Policy Project, urges users to be pa-tient and resilient when on healthcare.gov.

Utahns Experience the Bad and the Good While Navigating Healthcare.gov

He’s also hopeful that the president’s technology team will make the website easier to use.

“They didn’t design it to be as nimble as it could have been in terms of the number of java scripts on the opening page and the number of lines of computer code and things like that,” Stevenson says. “It became more like an RV than a race car, once they were fin-ished with it. “

The first health insurance policies obtained through the ACA take effect Jan. 1.

Stevenson says despite the challenges on healthcare.gov there are success stories.

“There’s a family of five, small business owners here in Salt Lake City, that signed up for insurance in early Octo-ber,” he recalls. “For a family of five, they’re paying $123 a month for their insurance with the subsidized rate.”

Open enrollment in the ACA started Oct. 1 and con-tinues through March 31.

SALT LAKE CITY - A newly formed group is tasked with tackling Utah’s air qual-ity issues.

Gov. Gary Herbert this week announced the launch of the Clean Air Action Team with members from advocacy groups, health care organiza-tions, industry and the legis-lature.

Herbert says the team will consider everything from reg-

UT Governor Creates “Clean Air Action Team”ulation, legislation, education, research and transportation.

“I want to assure you that no possible solution will be left unturned,” he says.

Erickson points out that when cars and trucks idle, they produce emissions that ac-count for up to half of Utah’s air pollution.

“If everybody would re-duce their idling one minute a day, it’s equivalent to, like, 6

million tons of particulate mat-ter out of the sky throughout the nation,” she says. “There are huge numbers that support what we as a consumer can do, and it’s hard things to do. But we need to do that if we’re concerned about the future of our children.”

The grants are part of the Utah Cluster Acceleration Partnership project, known as UCAP, which was created to better align industry work-force needs with education programs. It is a partnership between the Department of Workforce Services, the

Governor’s Office of Economic Development, and the Utah System of Higher Education. The money goes to expand or create programs in information technology, healthcare, energy and manu-facturing, among others.

“As our state economy grows businesses are counting on the state to have a partner-ship in place that will train the workforce of tomorrow, “said Spencer Eccles, GOED ex-ecutive director. “Today’s stu-dents need training that will insure our businesses have a workforce with the right skill

sets and the UCAP program helps to meet that need.”

“Investing in education today builds the foundation for a strong economy tomor-row,” said Commissioner of Higher Education Dave Buhler. “We’re pleased to im-plement these programs and expansions to support Utah’s economic engine.”

The money comes from the Unemployment Insur-ance Job Growth Fund, and is available for programs to immediately access. For more information on the programs approved, see the attached summary.

Practical Money MattersDon’t Ignore Tax Deduction

for Moving Expenseby JAson ALDermAn

Whether you’re relocat-ing across town or across the country, moving is expensive. By the time you’ve paid to have your household goods packed and moved, cancelled and reconnected utilities and racked up storage fees, you could easily be out thousands of dollars.

Many people don’t real-ize that if they’re moving to start a new job, transferring with a current employer or even returning to the U.S. to retire after working abroad, their moving expenses may be tax deductible. Plus, mov-ing expenses are an “above-the-line” deduction, which means they reduce your ad-justed gross income and can be claimed even if you don’t itemize deductions.

Two tests generally must be satisfied to claim a moving-expense deduction:

Distance test. The dis-tance between your new job and your former home must be at least 50 miles farther than your previous workplace is from that home. For example, if you used to work 10 miles from home, your new work-place must be at least 60 miles from your old home. If this is your first job or you were un-employed, the job must be at least 50 miles from your old home.

Time Test. Regular em-

ployees must work full-time at least 39 weeks during the 12 months after moving, although the weeks needn’t be consecu-tive or for the same employer. (For self-employed people, it’s 78 weeks during the first 24 months.)

If you moved this year, you can claim the deduction on your 2013 taxes even if you haven’t yet met the time test, provided you expect to during the coming year. If you later fail to meet the time test, you must reverse the deduction, either by including the amount as “other income” on your 2014 tax return, or by filing an amended 2013 return.

Qualified moving expens-es include:• Costs for packing and trans-

porting household goods, personal effects, pets and vehicles.

• Fees to disconnect and/or connect utilities.

• Travel costs for you and household members to the new home. (Meals cannot be charged).

• Use of your car during the move.

• Storing and insuring your possessions for up to 30 days.

• Note: Family members needn’t move at the same time nor by the same means of transportation.

Expenses that do not

qualify include:• Expenses of buying or sell-

ing a home, including clos-ing costs, mortgage fees, house-hunting expenses, home improvements or new furnishings.

• Loss on the sale of your old home.

• Charges for signing or breaking a lease.

• Fees for new car tags or driver’s license in your new locale.

• Expenses incurred on side trips en route to your new home (e.g., sightseeing).

• Security deposits (includ-ing any given up due to the move).

• Also, you cannot take a moving expense deduc-tion and a business expense deduction for the same ex-penses.

See IRS Publication 521 for all eligible and ineligible expenses and other details about the moving expense de-duction. To file for the deduc-tion, complete IRS Form 3903 and attach it to a Form 1040 Income Tax Return. You don’t need to complete a Schedule A unless you are otherwise item-izing deductions. (You cannot claim moving expenses on a 1040EZ Form.)

Also note: If your em-ployer reimburses you for any deductible expenses, you must reduce your moving de-duction by that amount; and, employer reimbursement for non-deductible expenses will likely be treated as wages on your W-2 Form.

RICHFIELD - The In-ternal Revenue Service and Six County VITA Program is looking for volunteers to as-sist in preparing tax returns next year at various spon-sored sites throughout the Six County Region which includes (Sevier, Sanpete, Juab, Piute, Wayne, and Mil-lard Counties.) Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds are welcome.

Sean and Susan Kearney have been volunteering with the Volunteer Income Tax As-sistance (VITA) program for 4 years in Central Utah. The main sites they cover are in Mt. Pleasant and Manti locat-ed in Sanpete County; how-ever this year Sean and Susan have went the extra mile and have helped out Piute and Wayne counties through Vir-tual VITA. During the past three years the Kearney’s have helped 194 individuals with tax assistance and have saved taxpayers an estimated 38,800 in tax preparation fees. The Kearney’s have served over 400 volunteer hours this past year and so far this year over 190,000 dollars of Earned In-come Credit (EIC) was given to clients in the Six County Region. Sean and Susan put their heart and soul into the VITA program. The Kearney’s are also very motivated people and do whatever they can to expand the VITA program. Sean and Susan are also an inspiration to their community and participate in other volun-teer efforts to improve their community. We are so blessed and grateful for Sean and Su-san’s wonderful volunteer service and their dedication. We are seeking additional out-standing volunteers to help with the VITA program.

Some of the volunteer opportunities include:

Tax Preparer- using in-come tax software to prepare basic tax returns for house-hold incomes who make $51,000 or less. Tax preparers are required to pass an IRS certification test. Previous ex-perience preparing tax returns is not necessary. Certification: The IRS certification process is an on-line application that is self-paced and open book.

Greeter and Intake Spe-cialist – Welcome tax filers to the tax site and begin the intake process. Greeters work with the Site Coordinator to ensure the site runs smoothly and the taxpayer has a posi-tive experience. This is a very important role for a successful VITA site.

Financial Resource Spe-cialist – Specialist provide in-formation to households at tax sites about asset building op-portunities and other commu-nity resources, such as debt, credit, and housing.

All volunteers receive tax training in cooperation with community partners and the IRS. Individuals with good computer skills are especially needed to assist in preparing and transmitting returns elec-tronically through the IRS E-file program.

TrainingTraining is held in Janu-

ary and volunteers gener-ally study online with Link & Learn Taxes to obtain their vol-unteer certification. The Link & Learn program is an inter-active course that teaches the steps needed to prepare basic individual income tax returns accurately. Classroom training is also available. Once certi-fied, volunteers spend as little as three to four hours per week from early February through mid-April.

Last year, volunteers helped over 19,000 Utah tax-payers to receive over $9 mil-lion from the Earned Income Tax Credit and distributed more than $30 million in total refunds. However, the IRS estimates that approximately 20-25% of the Earned Income Tax Credit is left unclaimed. Come help families in your community!

VITA sites are located at different venues in these cities: Richfield, Salina, Gunnison, Mt. Pleasant, Manti, Junction, Loa, Nephi, Fillmore, and Delta.
