AREA BUSINESSES AND LEADERS HONORED FOR EFFORTS IN ECONOMIC

AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

CastleRock Coffee & Candy/Red Desert Candy Company in Torrey Utah was chosen as Wayne’s 2011 Business of The Year. They were honored at a din-ner hosted by Six County Association of Govern-ments in Sevier County on December 7, 2011. Con-gratulations CastleRock Coffee & Candy/Red Des-ert Candy Company! The award was presented by Commissioner Robert Wil-liams (Left) to (Right) Mrs. Kathy Rabb, Mr. Tom Rabb & Mr. Scott Rabb WHY RECIPIENT WAS CHO-SEN: CastleRock Coffee & Candy was selected because of their continued business for 10 years. They have proven their great business sense by doing business in a community that has seen its fair share of economic ups and downs. They have expanded through these 10 years and have continued to be successful not only in being a loyal business, but they have given great op-portunities to county resi-dents seeking employment in the diverse areas of their operation. They not only own CastleRock Coffee & Candy, but also have the Red Desert Candy Compa-

ny which makes handmade and hand-dipped candies to sell at Castle Rock Coffee & Candy as well as filling accounts with the demand of their goods through-out Utah Kathy and Scott are pleasant to work with and customers leave with a smile on their face and satisfaction in their hearts because of the quality of their Coffee Beverages and Chocolates along with de-licious pleasures from all that is offered in their busi-nesses. Kathy and Scott speak highly of their em-ployees and highly compli-ment them, which proves to why they own such a well-rounded healthy busi-ness. BACKGROUND OF RECIPIENT: Kathy Rabb and Scott Rabb, mother and son, founded CastleRock Coffee & Candy almost 10 years ago. Kathy was work-ing in the Salt Lake area as a business banker and en-joyed the small business world. She and her hus-band, Tom, were attracted to the rural lifestyle of Wayne County, and want-ed to make Torrey home. With the help of the Wayne County Travel Council, they gathered enough re-search to determine who

was visiting our area and what they were looking for. They started with a great cup of coffee. As they were operating, they listened to what their customers were asking for. Good chocolate was on the top of the list. So over six years ago, they started tempering chocolate and creating a few of their own pieces. They ran out of space as their chocolate gained popularity and cus-tomer demand increased. In March of 2010, they applied for the Rural Fast Track Grant through the Governor’s Office Of Eco-nomic Development to help them purchase good qual-ity equipment, they created Red Desert Candy Com-pany and moved the candy operation to another loca-tion in Torrey. CastleRock is their pri-mary client, but Red Des-ert Candy also has several wholesale accounts and they sell their products on-line at reddesertcandy.com. Their highest activity sea-son is the Christmas Holi-days, so they operate year around which helps provide winter job opportunities. • CastleRock Coffee & Can-dy Store 12 – Full Time Em-ployees for 12 months 20 – Part Time Employees for 9 months of the year • Red Desert Candy Company 2.5 – Full Time Employee for 12 months 3 – Part Time Employees for 12 months Congratulations Kathy & Scott for being selected the Wayne County Business of the Year through continued customer service and coun-ty resident employment provided by Castle Rock Coffee & Candy and Red Desert Candy Company.

UTAH LESS DEPENDENT ON FEDERAL FUNDS THAN MOST STATES

The U.S. Census Bu-reau’s Consolidated Fed-eral Funds Report for Fiscal Year 2010 shows that, un-like many state economies that are increasingly reli-ant on federal government spending, Utah depends less per capita on federal dollars. “This report validates what Utah’s leaders under-stand in practice-that rely-ing on the federal dole is an unsound way to restore economic prosperity,” said Governor Gary R. Herbert. “Fiscal prudence, includ-ing state independence from federal dollars which

always come with strings attached, is the most sure foundation for a recovering economy.” The Governor added, “It is no accident that Utah is best poised to lead the na-tion out of the recession. We have a AAA bond rat-ing, our unemployment rate is nearly two points lower than the nation’s unemploy-ment rate, our economy is growing at two and a half times the national aver-age, we don’t spend more than we have and we save for a rainy day. We make the tough decisions. Utah’s people understand that,

Utah’s leaders understand that, and now the data prove it.” The Census report notes that roughly one-third of Virginia’s economy relies upon the federal govern-ment. One-third of Con-necticut and Maryland’s federal funding goes to health and human services, while one-third of Alaska, Hawaii and Virginia’s fed-eral funds are spent on de-fense. The full report may be found at http://www.cen-sus.gov/prod/2011pubs/cffr-10.pdf.

The Bob Cats Basketball team had a big week. On Wednesday they faced an-other 2-A team in Kanab, with the same results. This time they made it a little easier on their fans by win-ning by 10 points, 63-53. This was their third win over 2-A teams. Tyce Bar-ney continues his brilliant play with 29 points. The Cats ventured up to Rich-field for a couple of games, last weekend, against Duchesne and Tabiona. Against Duchene the Cats came out a little flat, and couldn’t buy a free throw, missing 11, and falling 52-48. Dalan Bennett had 15 and Tyce Barney chipped in 12. The next night against Taviona the Bob Cats were on fire beating them 61 to 43. They got the ball down the court really fast and the outstanding team play was the difference on Satur-day. Tyce scored 20 points and Dalan had 13, Makade Christensen chipped in 12, including 2 three pointers. I am really impressed by this teams play, it’s been a long time since we have had this good of team play, the Cats should go far this year. A little side light for the Piute- Duchesnegame. Duchesne had the ball at the end of a tied game with 9 seconds left, when Duch-esne went to the basket only

to be fouled with 6 seconds left and missed both free throws, Duchesne got the rebound and again was fouled with only 4 seconds left and again missed both free throws, the Thunder-birds rebounded this time and the player that missed the free throw tackled the Piute player at the half court line with .03 seconds left, needless to say the Piute player sunk both shots for a 2 point Thunderbird win. The Bob Cats have a home game tonight Dec. 15th against the Milford Tigers. They have an away game on Saturday the 17th over in Wayne County. We have had great fan support this year, catch the Bob Cat fever, join in the fun, Mil-ford has a great fan base, so come on out and make some noise. The Lady Cats only had one game last week, against the Milford Tigers. The Ladies played great de-fense, but were called for 22 fouls as to Milford’s 6. The Cats kept the game real close up to the end, losing 34-28. Milford is ranked 5th in the State and the girls were only a couple of basket from again winning the game. They keep get-ting better each week and scored a number of points in the paint. The Lady Cats have three games this week, starting in Wayne last night,

the 14th. W a y n e is ranked 3rd in the State so the Cats will have their hands full. On Friday and Saturday they will be play-ing in a tournament down in Mesquite, this is always fun weekend for the girls and they won the tournament last year. The 8th grade girls team had an unbelievable week, with a game against Milford which they won 43 to 9, and traveled over to Enterprise to play a bigger 2-A school only to win 57-7. These girls have everything size, speed and ability to make the Lady Cats something for the next four years. The 7th graders only won 47-7 so you can see we are going to have some great teams in the future. The wrestlers got in some good work this last week-end. They went up to North Sevier for a dual tournament and then went on to Juab on Friday and Saturday, where they beat Beaver in a dual meet. All of these meets gives the Bob Cats the com-petition that they need, win or lose. Last night the 14th they hosted the Parowan Rams in a duel meet and on Friday and Saturday they travel up to Manti for a two day tournament. Say hello to assistant principal John Gillett for me, will you?

Stats for Cross Creek and Liahona are un-available. Wrestling: Gus Torg-ersen, Trace Torgersen, and Bret Brooks didn’t place in

the Pan-g u i t c h I n v i t a -t i o n a l . Wa l k e r Smith and Preston Scott participated in the Round-Robin J.V. Upcoming Events: B.B.B- They have the 1A preview in Richfield on the 9th and 10th. G.B.B- They play Piute on the 9th away, and Bryce Valley on the 14th at home.

PARENT LINK I would like to inform you of the implementation of a new parent contact system that we will use in Garfield School District in the next few weeks. The program is called “Par-ent Link”; it will allow the schools to automatically place a call to parents when students are marked absent at the beginning of the day. I am worried about the stu-dent who walks to school each day and for some rea-son or another they don’t arrive at the building. Par-ents may think their child is safely at school and the school may think they are home sick for the day. To avoid this potential prob-lem, Parent Link will call parents starting at 8:30 am to inform them their child is absent. If a parent calls in to excuse their child from school they will not receive a call from Parent Link. The District will automati-

cally upload the attendance at the end of the school day to place a call to the parents informing them of the indi-vidual class periods missed for that particular school day. Parent Link also has the ability to contact parents in the event of an emergency situation. The principal will have the ability to record a message to be delivered to parents in this type of situa-tion. The system will allow a school with 240 students to place a call to the par-ents in under two minutes. If you receive one of these calls, please listen to the en-tire message, it will repeat the message two times and will give the parents valu-able information. In the event of school closure or emergency situation, Par-ent Link has the ability to deliver accurate informa-tion to the parents in a very short time.

It is critical to make sure your parent contact infor-mation is current on the school student information system. You can do this one of two ways, first you can access your students con-tact information by logging onto your students grade book and selecting contact information. The second option is to contact the sec-retary at the school to re-view your contact informa-tion. It is helpful to provide a primary contact and a cell phone number. If Parent Link does not have an an-swer at one phone number it will automatically call the secondary number. The District cost for the system is approximately $1800 which I feel is money well spent to help improve the communication between the schools and the parents.

Want to WOW Your Customers?

Provide Service the “Zappos Way”

“We can’t do that,” a phar-macy employee said to me on the phone. “You’ll have to have the other pharmacy request the transfer. So, let me get this straight, one pharmacy, of the same com-pany, can’t transfer a pre-scription? Time and time and time again, businesses tell you “no,” “it can’t be done,” “we don’t do that,” “we’re closed” or how about “because that’s poli-cy.” Well, I’m going to play Tony Hsieh, Zappos CEO, for a moment. He’d simply say, “Why?” to all of those responses. I heard Hsieh speak a few months ago to a group of government em-ployees. At the end of his presentation, an employee was basically suggesting that the “Zappos-way” (i.e., fun, flexible, creative, in-novative, out of the box, humble, empowering, en-gaging, etc.) wouldn’t work in government. Tony’s re-ply, “Why not?” Look, if you are business, govern-ment or not, pull out all the stops. Stay open later, open earlier. Surprise your cus-tomers and employees. Get rid of “can’t,” “don’t” and even, “this is how we’ve al-ways done it.” Those lines are so rigid, prehistoric and the furthest thing from cus-tomer service. And update that 100 year old policy book and replace it with a fun new culture one (minus the word “policy”). Time to think way outside of the box and try new and differ-ent things. Change with the times. Respond to custom-ers and employees outside of business hours. I heard from Hsieh him-self, or at least from one of his people responding on his behalf, on a Saturday. Yup, a Saturday. Hearing from a billion dollar plus company CEO or his staff on a Saturday I’d say, is pretty impressive. “The goal as a company is to

have customer service that is not just the best, but leg-endary,” said American businessman Sam Walton. Zappos (an online retail company, by the way) is that for me as is Zions Bank in Panguitch, Utah. So even though I now live in another state, I still choose to bank with them. They’ve gone the extra mile for me. They know me. They’ve jumped through hoop, after hoop, after hoop. You are a person with a name. They get the whole relationship-thing. They also accommo-date your personal needs. I love that. They are that way because of their outstand-ing leadership and staff. Walt Disney said, “Do what you do so well that they will want to see it again and bring their friends.” You can be sure that if I have friends moving to southern Utah where I’ll be telling

them to bank. And Hsieh, well, he’s more concerned about you, the customer, having a great experience when you call the Zappos Customer Loyalty Team at 1-800-927-7671, 24/7, 365 days a week and speak to a loy-alty team member. That’s right; you actually “speak” to a live person regardless if you purchased a product online or not. Now that’s, “Delivering WOW through service” (Zappos #1 core principal). Dare to try? You may not have a choice. Cynthia Kimball is a professional speaker and trainer through her compa-ny Every1Counts, LLC, and a doctoral student in Work-force Education Leader-ship.

DISCOUNT SHOPPING

A young man was walk-ing through a supermar-ket to pick up a few things when he noticed an old lady following him around. Thinking nothing of it, he ignored her and continued on. Finally he went to the checkout line, but she got in front of him. “Pardon me,” she said, “I’m sorry if my staring at you has made you feel un-comfortable. It’s just that you look just like my son, who just died recently.” “I’m very sorry,” replied the young man, “is there anything I can do for you?” “Yes,” she said, “As I’m leaving, can you say ‘Good bye, Mother’? It would make me feel so much bet-ter.” “Sure,” answered the young man. As the old woman was leaving, he called out, “Goodbye, Mother!” As he stepped up to the checkout counter, he saw that his total was $127.50. “How can that be?” He asked, “I only purchased a few things!” “Your mother said that you would pay for her,” said the clerk.

DUI Checkpoint

One snowy evening my brother, a regional police officer, stopped a car at a roadside check for drunk drivers. “Good evening, ma’am,” he greeted the lady. “How are you this evening?” “Fine, thank you,” she replied. My brother continued, “Anything to drink this evening?” Surprised, the lady an-swered, “No, thank you.”

OLD SHOTGUN Rummaging through her attic one day, my friend Carol found an old shot-

gun. Unsure how to dispose of it, she called her parents. “Take it to the police station,” her mother suggested. My friend was about to hang up when her mom added.... “And, Carol?” “Yes, mom?” “Call them first and let them know you’re coming.”

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

Julie Newland and Sam Dutton and Sam Cloud would like to thank every-one in the area for their generous domations to the “One Warm Kid” coat drive held recently at the high school. It is Sam Dutton and John Cloud’s FCCLA project. Sixty items were donated to include: coats, jackets, hoodies, and snow pants in boys, girls, men’s and women’s sizes. These will be donated to the Pan-guitch Thrift Shop after the 14th where they are priced low and raises money for the Garfield Memorial Hos-pital. Brook Wiseman has been called to serve as the Assistant Scout Leader for the eleven year old scouts. Congratulations Brook. Sandy Johnson and Sarah Sorenson were both released as music direc-tors for the Primary Mu-sic. Shauna Mortensen and Brooke Palmer were called to replace them. Congratu-lations both of you. This week the BCNP folks will be having a holi-day/Christmas Party for their employees and their families. Ran into Wes and Olga Syrett in WalMart this weekend. Chance and Jessica Stew-art took their kids and went to Salt Lake and stayed for a few days. They toured the city, went to the aquarium, saw the lights, shopped and had a great time. It was cold and foggy but still fun. Art and Vicki Syrett went to Central Valley (out-side Richfield) to a family Christmas party. ALL of their children, grandchil-dren, and their new little great-granddaughter were there. It was a wonderful outing and we had good food and lots of conversa-tion. Ashtyn Stevens was bap-tized by her father, Mike Stevens. Taten Leech was ordained a Deacon. Solae C. Leishman was blessed and given a name by dad, Nate Leishman. Dylen Pollock was also blessed and given her name by her dad Nick Pollock. Rod and Kathern Syrett held a big family dinner afterwards to celebrate all the events that happened in their fam-ily. Ashtyn is the daughter of Mike and Kami Stevens. Taten is the son of Tim and Chrishel Leech. Solae is the daughter of Nate and Jentre’ Leishman and Dylen is the daughter of Nick and Hayley Pollock. Grandpar-ents are Rod and Kathern Syrett, Elaine Haas(Taten) and Sam Pollock. The Tropic Relief So-ciety Christmas Social was wonderful. Good friends, great food, and a wonder-ful program. Thanks to all who worked so hard to put

it all together. Eva Dean called to say she returned home after spending time with her daughter, Robin Griffin in Monroe. She went up the day after Thanksgiving and it was just Eva Dean and Robin and they had a won-derful visit. They report that Vernon Shad, Robin’s oldest son, got a job at the glass factory making win-dows in St. George. They are still hiring new people. Eva Dean said she loved every minute of her visit with Robin. She came home to a beautfully deco-rated home, inside and out. Thanks to grandson Wil-liam Mortensen and San-drea Francisco. They did a super job. Even a new tree with lights and trimmings. How fun!! Our grandson, Joseph Jensen came and put up our lights and we are still work-ing on getting the rest out. Brrrr!! Would you please call and share your news. Then you don’t have to hear mine. Thanks And have a wonderful week and don’t freeze. HOOFBEATS (BVHS)

by Sam Cloud I think I have a good one this time. Hope you like it. Greetings out there to all of my highly devoted fans, especially the ones that are viewing this on accident while they were looking for something else and those that happen to be reading this just because they’re bored and don’t have any-thing better to do. I am proud to report that I actu-ally have some real news to deliver this week. Terri-bly odd for a newspaper, I know. And as a Christmas gift to my dedicated teach-ers up at the high school, I have officially committed to being somewhat gram-matical and banning the word “thingy” from my literary vocabulary. And I really, really, hope they ap-preciate it, ‘cause it is really hard to do. For the month of De-cember, two 7th grade girls were honored with an of-ficial Student Spotlight. Specifically, Katie Stewart and Elaina LeFevre. Both of them were congratulated on their “Extra Efforts in Fundraising, Supportive, and Dedication”--a high praise for two newbies to our school. Well done la-dies. I was unable to get the official statistics from any of the athletics last week, but I was able to get some information on the other games to come. Both the girls’ and the boys’ basket-ball teams is playing today. The boys are playing at Di-amond Ranch and the girls have a Junior Varsity Game at Cross Creek. We have two officially legitimate home games this weekend, with the girls dueling Piute tomorrow and the boys playing Escalante on Satur-day. Everyone is invited to come and cheer so we can show some team spirit and drown out the other fans. Next week, the girls have a game on Tuesday at Valley, and the boys have games on Wednesday and Thursday at Beaver and Piute. Wres-tling is also very busy this week. They completed their duel against Wayne only yesterday, and they are pre-paring for a big tournament

at Dixie to be held on Fri-day and Saturday. Christmas is fast ap-proaching, and the mad dash for holiday shopping grows ever more intense. While some are eagerly anticipated the upcoming challenge, many are dread-ing the inevitable terror to come--the mind-numbing horror that is a shopping trip during rush hour at Wall-Mart. But despite the frenzy and the horror in the air, the true spirits of Christmas are making their steady way across the land, bringing their cheer and comfort to all who will let it in. Excitement is mount-ing, not just for the day it-self when we get to open up our goodies, but also for the thrill that comes with the service and careful giv-ing of the season. With just ten days left till the day, and only 2 and 2 half days of school left till our free-dom, things are generally looking pretty up.

Owen and Pat Gonder, their daughter Danielle Ganz and her children Britney and Patrick went to Phoenix for Thanksgiv-ing and spent a week with RaeAnne and Allen Knight and family. They had a great time, went shopping on black Friday, did lots of cooking for the family while RaeAnne was work-ing and had Thanksgiving dinner with Allen’s fam-ily. Abput 40 people in all. They came back on Satur-day so Owen and Pat could attend church in Oak City for their son Shawn’s son Tanner to become a Dea-con. They just got home and then went to Garrison on Tuesday for a meeting of the water company out there. Pat says they spend a lot of time on the road but are enjoying retirement. Don’t you wonder how you ever found time to work, Pat? Gene and Thais Grif-fin had Gary and Sheila Griffin, Payson, and Matt and Stephanie Volker, St. George, and families home for Thanksgiving. Jenifer (Liston) McLemore was excited to announce that her husband Tyler has just taken his fi-nals for this past semester and passed with flying col-ors. He is studying to be a nurse. Right now he works in the hospital in St. George one day a week. He is a son of Marc and Susanne

McLemore. Sounds like the medical profession is where to be right now so we wish Tyler the best of luck! Arnold and Deon Alvey are back from Las Vegas, Nevada. Their grandson, Danny Duncan, had to have surgery so they went down to give moral support. Dan-ny is the son of Brad and Janeen Duncan of Loa, but Danny lives in Vegas. The Escalante High School Wrestling Team participated in the Pan-guitch Invitational Wres-tling Tournament on Dec. 2nd and 3rd. There were 23 teams from Utah High Schools participating. The tournament was broken into Varsity and Junior Varsity teams. In the Varsity tour-nament they wrestled until they lost two matches then were out. In the Junior Var-sity it was a round robin and they had 5 matches to wrestle. In EHS Varsity Bret Brooks had I win and 2 losses. Gus Torgersen 1 win and 2 losses. Trace Torg-ersen 1 win 2 losses. In JV Preston Scott 1 win 4 loss-es. Walker Smith 1 win 4 losses. None placed in the tournament but continued to improve their skills and sportsmanship. Coach Paul Dodge was pleased to re-ceive an e-mail commend-ing Gus Torgersen and the entire team on their sports-manship while attending the Wayne tournament on November 22nd.

TONIGHT, DECEM-BER 15, the 8th grade play, “Fairytale Court Room,” will be held in the auditori-um at 5:30 P. M. All mem-bers of the class will appear and are excited to show off their acting talents. Please bring a friend and come! The baby son, Sasha, of Anya Matagi was blessed in sacrament meeting in the second ward last week. Karen and Reed Munson are the grandparents. Baby Sasha has a little brother at home. Brent Griffin and Ted Engberg paid their yearly visit to the Care Center in Panguitch, singing and en-tertaining the patients and their families. They also ate dinner with the group. Ted and Brent also entertain the tourists at Shannon Steed’s Wild West Retreat in the summer time. They will be singing at the Escalante and Henrieville Senior Citizen Centers this week. There was lots of party-ing going on last week. All on the same night, all cen-tered around the city build-ings. Turnabout was hav-ing their Christmas party in the Community Center. The City Council, Planning and Zoning and city em-ployees were having theirs at the city offices and The Daughters of The Utah Pio-neers were having theirs at the Senior Citizen Center. It was fun to ride around and see all the pretty lights af-terward. It is early yet so there aren’t as many homes with lights yet but, hope-fully, there will be a lot of them later on. Lois and Danny Spen-cer have visited their family in Mequite, Nevada. They have another grandson who will be leaving from there to serve a LDS Mission soon. Our condolences to the family and extended family of Kay Coombs, 88, of Mt. Pleasant, Utah. Kay was born and reared in Boulder, Utah, to Ephraim Hyrum and Florence Mary Snow Coombs. He has four sons, Douglas , Roger, Rex and Dueane.

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

WELCOME HOME 222ND IT IS SO GOOD TO HAVE YOU HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS. MANY OF YOU HAVE SERVED NUMEOUS TOURS OF DUTY IN IRAQ AND AFGANASTAND, YOU ARE TRULY HEROES.

This is the season to re-joice and be thankful for all that we have. Mostly the joy of living in Panguitch and in a small community that helps each other when there is a need. Santa says that he doesn’t want any child from Panguitch or Hatch to go without, this Christmas, so if he can help out call (676-2418). This years Elementary School, Christmas music presentation will be this Friday on December 16th, at 11:00 in the morning and it will be at the High School Gym. This is the highlight of the Christmas season; it is so great to hear 260 kids singing together. The smaller kids are the most fun; usually the kindergar-ten kids have costumes. The teachers put in a lot of time on these numbers working with the children till they get it right. This Saturday is the last of the Christmas drawings, for your local purchases. These drawings have been really well attended with many very good prizes. Shopping local helps out the town, with jobs and sales taxes that are used to run the Town. At this years, DUP (Daughters of the Utah Pio-neers) Christmas Party, the Women donated can goods to the Care and Share in-stead of exchanging gifts. Saturday the 31st the City will be celebrating New Years with their an-nual party. This year it will be SURF’S UP – BEACH

PARTY. It will be at the Triple C Arena and will start at 7:00 and run till 10:30. The cost is $5:00 and $25:00 for the immedi-ate family. The Entertain-ment will be Country Sing-er Eric Dodge. There will be blow up slides, volley-ball, a money pit, (no they won’t let me do this) horse shoes and bingo. The food this year will be Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, Chicken and Salads – Potato/ Pasta, Po-tato Wedges, Shrimp and Cobbler and Ice Cream for desert. This is a great gath-ering of town folks to bring in the New Year. If it’s re-ally cold you don’t have to wear your swim suit. At this years National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, a couple of Utahans did very well. Payson’s Kay-cee Feild, joined his Hall of Fame Father, Lewis Feild as the World National Bare Back Champion. Kay-cee’s winnings this year is $256.236. There is 6 mil-lion dollars prize money to be had at the finals, but can you imagine ridding one of those monsters 10 nights in a row? Closer to home, Milford’s own Jesse Wright won the saddle bronco, on Friday night with an 87 point ride to stay alive in the world championship race with a season earning of $195,508. Jesse’s broth-er Cody (last years champ) was second with a ride of 82 points. Jesse is only 22 and has a bright future. This week the Senior Citizen luncheons and Meal

on Wheels workers will go on Christmas vacation and the last meal for the year will be on the 15th. The meals will resume again on Tuesday, January 3rd. These wonderful young la-dies (who are outstanding cooks) only get Thanksgiv-ing week and this time at Christmas as their only time off, all year. It would be a nice Christmas present if the Commissioners would give them a pay raise, it’s been four years since their last one. These ladies put out over 100 meals a day and cook from scratch each day, saving the County a lot of money. You might check on your older family mem-ber during this period while the cooks take a needed and deserved rest, many really depend on these meals. Who would have thought that we would be prais-ing $2.97 gasoline prices as wonderful. In Richfield and Cedar that’s the price and going down. Pan-guitch is among the highest gas prices in the State, this hurts the locals business, as people will shop where they can save so much on gas. The Christmas lights look better every year and really lights up the City. Many thanks to the City Workers for putting up the Christ-mas decorations all over the city and on the light poles and putting up the beautiful tree and decorating it at the Quilt Walk Park. What a great Christmas present, the Triple Duce coming home safe!

BICKNELL BOTTOMS CULINARY WATER COMPANY IMPORTANT INFORMATION

ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER Tests Showed Coliform Bacteria in BBCWC Water

Our water system recently violated a drinking water stan-dard. Although this incident was not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened and what we did to correct this situation. We routinely monitor for drinking water contaminants. We took 6 samples to test for the presence of coliform bacteria dur-ing November 2011. Three of our samples showed the presence of total coliform bacteria. The standard is that no more than 1 sample per month may do so. What should I do? • You do not need to boil your water or take other corrective actions. However, if you have specific health concerns, consult your doctor. • People with severely compromised immune systems, infants, and some elderly may be at increased risk. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care provid-ers. General guidelines on ways to lessen the risk of infection by microbes are available from EPA=s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1 (800) 426-4791. What does this mean? • This is not an emergency. If it had been, you would have been notified immediately. Coliform bacteria are generally not harm-ful themselves. Coliforms are bacteria which are naturally pres-ent in the environment and are used as an indicator that other, potentially-harmful, bacteria may be present. Coliforms were found in more samples than allowed and this was a warning of potential problems. • Usually, coliforms are a sign that there could be a problem with the system=s treatment or distribution system (pipes). Whenever we detect coliform bacteria in any sample, we do follow-up testing to see if other bacteria of greater concern, such as fecal coliform or E. coli, are present. We did not find any of these bacteria in our subsequent testing, and further test-ing shows that this problem has been resolved. What happened? What was done? Following the positive coliform results, the Bicknell Bot-toms Culinary Water Company was flushed and chlorinated. Subsequent investigative samples were negative. For more information, please contact Riley Taylor at 691-4037 or PO Box 266, Bicknell, UT 84715. Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.

This notice is being sent to you by Bicknell Bottoms Culi-nary Water Company, Water System ID#: 28043.

OBITUARIESDuane O. Turner

1920 - 2011

Duane O. Turner, our beloved Husband, Father, Grand-father, Uncle and Friend passed away peacefully in the loving arms of his wife and family on December 6, 2011 in Pleasant Grove, Utah. Duane was born May 18, 1920, the 3rd of 6 children, to David Ernest and Hulda Artimisha Allen Turner in Lyman, Utah. Growing up in Wayne County as a youngster until the age of 8 when his mother passed away. He then went to Springville, UT to live with Evon and Valera Averett, a cousin. He attended and graduated from Springville High School. After a short time, world conditions incited him-self and several of his brothers to enlist in the military. On October 21, 1941 he became part of the US Army. Promis-ing his love to the beautiful Norma Ernsten they married prior to him leaving for the service. October 26, 1941 they made their vows to one another in Preston, Idaho. Then, that same day, he was taken to Fort Douglas and entered military service. Only a little over a month later the US was attacked at Pearl Harbor. Duane became part of the US Army Air Corps and proceeded to become part of the 8th Air Force, 303rd Bomb Group (heavy) and served the war from an airbase in Molesworth England. He served there along side other heroes who defended our freedom. Surviving the war he returned home to his family and beautiful bride to begin his civilian life. Duane and Norma were joined in eternal marriage in the Manti Temple on December 11, 1947. Operating a repair shop in Lyman Utah along with his brother Nelson he became known for his expertise in mechanical repair. In 1964 he was given an opportunity to become part of the US Park Service and moved to Fruita, Utah and Capital Reef National Monument. After a few years he was promoted to a position that required he trav-el to all the National parks and monuments in the West-ern US. With this promotion he transferred first to New Mexico and finally to Yellowstone National Park where he resided until his retirement. Having lived in Billings, MT, Richfield, UT, Salina, Springville and finally Pleasant Grove, he and Norma were loved by all who knew them. Following retirement Duane and Norma were given an opportunity to serve an LDS Mission in the Family History Center in Salt Lake City. Duane served in 5 bishoprics, was Branch President at Yellowstone North Ward, volunteered over 4000 hours at the Family History Center in Billings, Montana and was a volunteer at St. Vincent Hospital in Billings.

Dear Citizens of Garfield County, Please accept my apology for the way this piece about the Alton coal mine issue was presented to you and if it seemed offensive in any way. While some of the potential ef-fects surrounding the Alton coal mine are national in terms of a variety of publicly-owned resources, such air or water quality, Bryce Canyon, or the region’s wildlife, this does not mean to diminish the values of those who live in the area. As a frequent visitor to your region of the state, one of the things I most appreciate is the small-town atmosphere and friendliness of locals. And as someone who grew up in a very rural part of America, I have a deep respect for local community values. Thank you.

Sincerely, Tim WagnerSierra Club - Salt Lake City, UT

Dear Insider Readers, Last week, the article about the Strip mine may have offended some of you. I would like to clarify, that this is/was not the intent of The Insider. I don’t believe most people involved in sensitive issues such as this one ever intend to divide a community or offend. They simply want to be heard. I don’t claim to be “groomed” in how I should operate my business as a newspaper publisher, but I do my best. I have learned a sure principal in my 18 years of running this periodical though, and without a doubt, this is true. As a publisher, no matter how sensitively news and issues are presented, in nearly every case “someone” gets offended. I only present the information as it is presented to me. It is the opinion of Tim Wagner, and I am sure others, that my presentation of the strip mine on the front page of last weeks Insider may have been in bad taste. I write this letter with respect for the readers of the communities to understand my method. I realize after speaking with Tim Wagner that the article was not intended to be printed, but it was only to be sent out as a memo to members of The Sierra Club. I further under-stand they would have rather had it presented differently. I didn’t think it was innapropri-ate at all for them to present their concerns. I believe it was pretty clear. It is not my job to persuade readers to believe, but only to present the facts as clearly as possible from both sides, and I believe Tim was stating his findings from research. No one to that date had offered another perspective, but this did open some eyes. To clarify another effect of my method. The information was sent to me through email (by a Panguitch Business) with the name Bobbi Bryant attached as the sender. I must clarify that I have now verified that it wasn’t Bobbi’s email address, nor would she wanted to be associated with it. For that Bobbi, I do apologize to you.

Sincerely, Ryan DavisPublisher, Wayne & Garfield Insider

Letter To the Editor I am sure as you read the article in last week’s Insider on the impact of the Alton Coal Mine on us and our area, it left a fairly dreary picture in your mind. That is what happens when a well-paid creative writer gives a few facts and then creates a fictional account of the topic at hand. I would like to give you another perspective to con-sider. 1. The Mine: The mine is not visible to any of the scenic areas listed in last week’s article and it is not visible from any place a tourist would ever be. Nor, in fact, are there many resi-dents of Garfield or Kane counties that could even find the mine. There is no “devastating” cloud of dirty waste hanging over the mine that would point people in its direction. It’s amazing that a spot that few people have ever seen, or care about, can all at once be the most environmental spot on earth. The mine has no negative impact on the environment. 2. Alton is currently mining 600 acres of private proper-ty and will reclaim the land as they go. The soil will be lifted out and the coal re-moved. Once that is done, the spot will be filled in again and appropriate veg-etation will be planted. The long-term plan is that all the land will be reclaimed by the company and the addi-tional 2,900 acres on BLM land will be mined over a 25-year period. This means there will be only a few hundred acres being mined at one time. 3. Impact on Wildlife: There are organizations which would monitor the migration patterns of cock-roaches in a New York apartment building and if it suits their purposes would make it a crime to remove one from your body as it crawled over you. Wildlife is amazingly resilient and is capable of moving a mile away for a new nesting spot or for grazing. The wildlife I observe in the mining area is curi-ous and doesn’t seem to be bothered by the workers or “huge coal trucks.” 4. Tourism: I like tourists.

Duane loved to meet people and would spend endless hours talking to anyone whom he met. He loved the out-doors and would spend hours walking and enjoying the things God created for him to see. Duane is survived by his beautiful bride, Norma, his son David (Paula) and a brother Fonzo. He was preceeded in death by his Mother, and Father; Broth-ers: Nelson, Ward, Guy and sister Leola Chappell as well as pre-mature twin sons and a granddaughter, Mary Kay Turner. He has 3 Grandchildren, Tina Ann (Dean) Schock, Barbara Lee (Bob) Miller and David Troy (Michelle) Turn-er plus a native-American foster daugh-ter, Barbara Jean Charlie (Hank) Morris. He loved them and would spend time, including summers in Yellowstone with them. Later blessed with 6 Great-Grand-children, Justin Ludwig, Jessica Ludwig (Jared) Watts, Joshua Ludwig, Brandon Turner, TJ Turner and Samantha Baty. Numerous nieces and nephews were so special to him. Especially the last few years with the love and attention from Myrna and Doyle Hess, Rick and Laura Turner and their entire families. Time spent with family was always his most special times. Funeral services will be held Satur-day, December 10, 2011 at 1:00 P.M. in the Lyman LDS Ward Chapel. Friends may call for viewing at the Springer Turner Funeral Home, 260 North 400 West in Richfield, Friday evening from 6 to 8pm and again at the Lyman LDS chapel on Saturday from 11:30 to12:30 prior to the services. Burial with military honors accorded by the Harold Brown American Legion Post #92 will be at the Lyman, Utah cemetery under the care of the Springer Turner Funeral Home of Richfield and Salina, Utah. A special thanks to “Hearts for Hos-pice and Home Health Care” angels and we would request donations to them in lieu of flowers. A very special thank you to Brian, Karen and all the others that became part of our family in those final days with Duane. We love you all so much.

Many times I am a tourist, but a tourist is no more im-portant than the neighbors and friends in our commu-nity. A tourist should not be put above others. It’s no secret that our commu-nity has lost much tourism business to Bryce Canyon City as that town has taken advantage of their proxim-ity to Bryce Canyon. Fewer residents than ever in Pan-guitch are impacted by tourism and if we depend only on tourism we will slowly shrivel up and die; that’s devastation. We need families to fill the many vacant houses in our com-munity and students in our schools. Then and only then will business again flourish and we will become a stable community. The mine and the trucks provide jobs nec-essary to do just that. 5. Coal trucks are trucks. They’re not huge or dirty, just trucks, and tourists expect truck traffic on the highways. Our area used to have many logging trucks and oil trucks, but they’re gone now. New commerce always replaces what dis-appears. Trucks haul com-modities (coal) and other products and that’s the com-merce that America is built on. And how are there going to be 300 huge trucks on the road a day if they can’t find 300 drivers to drive them? This is an exaggeration. Dust does not come out of these trucks, as our commu-nity has found out, and the trucks are the newest on the road with emissions that are

the cleanest in the indus-try. The health of the locals will not be an issue. These trucks have passed through many towns in Utah for the last 50 years, with no health concerns. The Bottom Line: The Alton Coal Mine is a good thing for our area. It pro-vides much needed employ-ment, putting money into local pockets to spend “lo-cally.” Panguitch City has endorsed the mine because it has seen and knows the truth. The area we live in is indeed beautiful and scenic. It will not be devastated by the mine or the trucks. Life will go on without much notice except that more jobs will be available. The effect on wildlife will be mini-mal. The Sierra Club that wrote last week’s article is not a people organization but a property organization, as I’m sure you are aware. You and I are very low on their priority list, if on the list at all. Feeding our fami-lies means little to them. Rocks and dirt are the gods they worship. Please don’t be swayed by their creative writing. Find out the truth and let the BLM know what is important to you. God’s most important creation is people. I think those who put things before people will one day have to answer for that. Please contact the BLM Kanab office at 435-644-4600 for comment informa-tion.

RETRACTION: To the Citizens of Garfield County - While I was out of town visiting family someone sent an article, without my persmission or knowledge of content, to have printed in The Insider regarding the Alton Coal Mine. I DID NOT WRITE THIS ARTICLE and I apologize as I am sure it was offensive to many. This is a wonderful community and I feel it is a privilege to live here.

Sincerely, Bobbi Bryant

PATIENT INFORMATION

Remember, if you have questions, Consult your Pharmacist.

You may have recognized that those labels have been drastically revised. The allowed age limit is now 4 years. When the labels were changed, it sig-naled parents that cough and cold products should not be used in infants and children under the age of 4 years without the supervision and approval of a prescriber.

Why Did the Labels Change?

A growing number of children had been harmed by cough and cold prod-ucts, and younger children were more at risk. For this reason, the FDA began an examination of whether those products were safe and effective down to the age of 2 years. During this process, manufacturers voluntarily agreed to raise the age limit to 4 years.

Can Those Selling the Products Make a Recommendation?

It is tempting to turn to the seller of the product to ask his or her opinion. Pharmacists are a logical choice for such a question. The highly professional training of pharmacists allows them to provide considerable advice as to when a physician should be consulted and when you can use nonprescription prod-ucts. However, assessing a child in depth, creating a dose for a child, and mon-itoring the child are all considered only to be within the realm of a prescriber. Community pharmacists are not prescribers, and creating doses in these situ-ations is an area for which they lack the resources. Typical community phar-macies do not have the basic tools or an appropriate area to assess patients by examining their throats and ears. Pharmacies also cannot provide monitoring. As an example, suppose a 1-year-old child suffered an acute reaction or in-jury from a pharmacist-recommended, nonlabeled dose, and the parent called the pharmacy for help, assuming the pharmacy was even open. Pharmacists lack the ability to carry out such obvious interventions as ordering lab tests and admitting the child to a hospital. A more precarious situation arises if you buy the product from a nonphar-macy outlet. In this situation, clerks and sales personnel are not trained to provide medical advice of any sort, such as when to see a physician or what dose to administer. Asking them to do so or heeding their advice would be a very bad idea. Under no circumstances should you guess at a dose of your own. It is tempting to as-sume that the label dose for a 4-year-old can be cut in half for a 2-year-old. This is false and can bring about serious injury. Never guess at a dose. Always call the child’s physician for medical advice and measure the doses very carefully to ensure that the correct dose is given.

A GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEAThe gift of a hunting or

fishing license will last the entire year.

Looking for that perfect gift for the angler or hunter on your Christmas list? If so, a Utah fishing or hunt-ing license might be the an-swer. These licenses make great Christmas gifts. And they’re easy to buy. Judi Tutorow, wildlife licensing coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources, says winter is a great time to give a license as a gift. “It won’t be long before some of the state’s waters start to ice over,” she says. “When that happens, another ice fishing season will be underway.” And Tutorow says there’s still a chance to get out and hunt. “Several hunting sea-sons, including the cotton-tail rabbit, partridge and snowshoe hare seasons, run through most of the win-ter,” she says.Where to get one The easiest way to buy a fishing or hunting license is online. The licenses are also available at DWR of-fices and from 320 fishing and hunting license agents across Utah. Combination licenses — which allow the license holder to fish and hunt small game — are also available at the same locations and at the website.They’re good for 365 days In addition to enjoying the outdoors in 2012, the person you give the license to will receive an added bo-nus — they won’t have to wait until Jan. 1 to use it. Utah fishing and hunting licenses are 365-day licens-es. That means they’re good for 365 days from the day you buy one. For example, if you buy a license on Dec. 12, 2011, the person you give it to can use it immediately. And they can continue using it until Dec. 11, 2012. (One note: hunting and combination licenses do not include a deer or elk permit and do not allow someone to hunt deer or elk. Hunters can apply for a 2012 general buck deer permit in February. General elk permits will be avail-able by mid summer on a first-come, first-served ba-sis.)Order early

If you buy a license at the website (wildlife.utah.gov), you can have it mailed to you (so you can wrap it and give it as a gift). Or you can have the license mailed di-rectly to the person you’re buying it for. It usually takes about five days for the license to arrive in the mail. In addition to the three licenses, two-pole fishing permits, setline fishing per-mits and permits that allow people to chase cougars with dogs are also avail-able.CostsUtah resident license and permit costs are as follows:

Combination license, $30Fishing license (14–64 years old), $26Fishing license (65 years old and older), $21Fishing license (12–13 years old), $5Second-pole permit, $15Setline permit, $15Hunting license (under 14 years old), $11Hunting license (14 years old and older), $26Cougar pursuit permit, $30T For more informa-tion about Utah fishing and hunting licenses, call the nearest Division of Wild-life Resources office or the DWR’s Salt Lake City of-fice at (801) 538-4700.

INHERITING RETIREMENT

ACCOUNTS Retirement accounts such as IRAs, Keoghs, 401(k)s and 403(b)s present special estate planning concerns. Many tax issues must be addressed when planning for the lifetime distribution of retirement accounts to an owner as well as the balances remaining upon an account owner’s death. The IRS has provided many rules and guidelines re-lated to these retirement accounts both during an owner’s life and upon his or her death. Specifically, proceeds from traditional retirement ac-

counts (generally retirement accounts other than Roth IRAs) are subject to income tax the year they are received. Therefore, account owners, and those who may inherit accounts, generally want to keep distributions to a minimum to reduce taxes provided there is not an immediate need for the assets. Many account owners reach retirement and find they do not need the assets in their retirement accounts to supplement their retirement. For many of these individuals, their desire is to defer the distribution of these proceeds and allow the assets to continue to grow tax deferred. Based on the current law, an individual can defer taking proceeds out of most retire-ment accounts only up to age 70½ (there is no mandatory withdrawal for Roth IRAs). However, at age 70½, an individual must begin taking his or her required minimum dis-tributions. These required minimum distributions are based on the life expectancy of the owner. Often, if an individual is married, the spouse is the best choice for the beneficiary. If a spouse is named as beneficiary, the spouse can convert the retirement account to his or her own IRA. This allows the spouse to continue to defer distribution of the proceeds based on the spouse’s life expectancy. However, in situations of very large estates where the spouse would have sufficient assets without the retirement account, the children or grandchildren may be the best ben-eficiary choice. There are many issues related to retirement accounts within an individual’s estate plan. It is very important to review decisions regarding retirement accounts especially when an individual reaches age 70½. Jeffery J.

How Chlidren “see” Their Grandparents...

1. She was in the bathroom, putting on her make-up, under the watchful eyes of her young grand-daughter, as she’d done many times before. After she applied her lip-stick and started to leave, the little one said, “But Grandma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!” I will probably never put lipstick on again without thinking about kissing the toilet paper good-bye....2. My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked me how old I was, and I told him, 62. My grandson was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, “Did you start at 1?”3.

Finally, s he threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, put-ting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice,“Who was THAT?”4. A grandmother was telling her little granddaugh-ter what her own childhood was like. We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods.”The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this all in. At last she said, “I sure wish I’d got to know you sooner!”5. My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, “Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?” I mentally polished my halo and I said, “No, how are we alike?’’
