on Saturday the 26th as usual. Please be aware that the pharmacy will be closed all four days and plan ahead with any medications. We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

If winter is slumber and spring is birth, and summer is life, then autumn rounds out to be reflection. It’s a time of year when the leaves are down and the harvest is in and the pe-

rennials are gone. Mother Earth just closed up the drapes on another year and it’s time to reflect on what’s come before.

THANKSGIVING IS DANGEROUS ON UTAH ROADS

PREVENT A HOLIDAY SPENDING HANGOVER

Black Friday doesn’t have to lead to black marks on your credit report 2012 holiday shopping season with tips to man-age holiday spending and avoid a post-holiday credit hangover. Zions Bank rec-ommends that customers manage their finances this holiday season with the fol-lowing spending tips: Create a budget and stick to it. Take advantage of Zions Bank’s free on-line eZ Budget program at zionsbank.com/ezbudget to quickly customize a spend-ing plan and your gift-giving budget. Set a dollar amount based on what you can afford this holiday sea-son considering your cur-rent savings, income and other expenses. Be sure to include a $20 to $100 cush-ion for unexpected expens-es. Make a list. Write down the names of the people you plan to buy gifts for and how much you can afford to spend on each person. The Gift Planner tab in the eZ Budget website allows users to personalize their lists for each gift recipient, including estimated and ac-tual expenses. Don’t forget

to save some of your bud-get for expenses other than gifts, including wrapping paper, cards and postage. Use credit wisely. Your credit card balance shouldn’t be a complete surprise when you open your statement in January. Take only the credit cards you need when holiday shopping and try to use the card with the lowest inter-est rate. Cash in on card re-wards. Utilize credit card perk programs such Zions Cash Rewards, which re-wards Zions Bank Visa® cardholders with up to 50 percent cash back for mak-ing qualifying purchases at various local and national retail stores, restaurants, and more. See deals at zion-scashrewards.com. Save your receipts. Keep track of your expenses and add them up weekly to be sure you’re sticking to your budget. If you’re get-ting close to your spending limit, reevaluate your list, and consider making home-made gifts to keep expenses down.

Shop around. Start your holiday shopping early to give yourself time to com-parison shop. Take time to do some research before you hit the stores by going online or looking at your lo-cal newspaper circulars. Pay bills on time. Avoid missing the due date for your credit card payments. Even if you can only pay the minimum, pay it on time. Don’t assume the mail will arrive on time, especially during the holi-days. Use online bill pay to ensure your bills get paid promptly. “Consumers spreading holiday cheer should keep in mind that January bills are only a couple of months away,” says Zions Bank President and CEO Scott Anderson. “If consumers are not budgeting for their holiday purchases, people will find themselves bring-ing in the New Year with last year’s debt. Holding true to one’s budget during the busy holiday season is an excellent jumpstart to healthy year-long budget-ing habits.”

For Utah drivers, the most dangerous holiday of the year is approaching. Thanksgiving weekend has the highest rate of travel during any holiday period of the year with almost 90% of people traveling in motor vehicles. If previ-ous statistics hold true, this Thanksgiving weekend will be a dangerous time on Utah roads. This year, the official 102-hour Thanksgiving holiday period will start at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, November 23RD and run through midnight on Sun-day, November 27th. Dur-ing the past ten years in Utah, 50 people were killed in car crashes over this hol-iday period and hundreds more were injured. To lessen your chances of becoming one of these statistics, here are a few things to keep in mind:Always wear your seat-belt! Many of the past Thanks-giving holiday deaths and serious injuries could have been easily prevented by the simple act of wearing a seat belt. Keep your-

self safe and ticket free by wearing a seat belt. Make sure everyone buckles up on every ride.Speed Speeding is a major cause of traffic crashes and a leading factor in highway deaths. Higher speeds in-crease crash forces in a col-lision as well as reduce the time you have to react to an emergency situation. Make sure you increase following distance and minimize lane changes.Alcohol Don’t let drinking and driving turn a holiday cele-bration into a tragedy. Even moderate consumption of alcohol can impair a driv-er’s ability to make proper decisions. Wednesday Most people who are traveling long distances will be leaving after work on Wednesday evening. They will find that the normal rush hour delays will extend throughout the evening and far out into rural areas where traffic is normally light. Tired driv-ers, who have worked all day and are now facing the

frustration of being stuck in slow traffic for such a long distance, may be tempted to take chances they might not otherwise take. Drowsy drivers may nod off at the wheel and are just as dan-gerous as drunk drivers. Sunday Most drivers will wait until Sunday afternoon to return home where they will face many of the same driving conditions that they faced on Wednesday eve-ning. Unlike Wednesday, they will face additional dangers due to drivers who

have consumed alcohol or those who waited to hit the road and didn’t give themselves enough time. Plan ahead and give yourself plenty of time to travel to your destina-tion. Thanksgiving is a time to relax and enjoy being with family and friends. Don’t let your holiday be interrupted by a tragic event.

NATURE’S CLASSROOM: THE CAPITOL REEF FIELD STATION

Jane Dell, Site Manager, Capitol Reef Field Station

Nestled on a mesa top in the Pleasant Creek Valley of Capitol Reef National Park, the Capitol Reef Field Station (CRFS) provides an amazing opportunity for place-based learning. A mere 3.5 hours from the UVU campus, CRFS wel-comes students, faculty and staff alike into the unique region of the Colorado Pla-teau. Through a partnership between Utah Valley Uni-versity and Capitol Reef National Park, CRFS pro-motes interdisciplinary en-gaged learning, field-based scientific research and en-vironmental ethics through exploration, appreciation and conservation of the Colorado Plateau ecosys-tem. Two 12-person dorms, a multi-purpose classroom, dining facility and a beau-tiful kitchen await groups that visit CRFS. In addition, CRFS serves as a model of sustainability with 100-per-cent solar electricity, wa-ter supplied from a nearby well, passive heating and cooling architecture and an unrivaled opportunity for all visitors to learn and practice reduced environ-mental impacts.

Since CRFS opened in October 2008, numerous UVU courses have taken advantage of all that the field station has to offer. From mathematics to in-terpretive dance, and from botany to creative writing, CRFS provides an ideal environment for engaged learning, a classroom with reduced distractions, a plat-form for student/faculty interaction and a breathtak-ingly beautiful background. Here is just a sample of what students have said af-ter studying at Capitol Reef Field Station: “It felt like a home away from home in an awesome environment.” “The pristine immersion in nature and isolation from the outside world made a great planning/team-build-ing environment.” “This place is awesome.” “The night sky was incred-ible and I loved the hikes.” “I loved being out in na-ture, the educational op-portunities, the staff, the beautiful surroundings and learning by doing.” We invite you to visit our website at uvu.edu/crfs and welcome any questions or comments. Interested in bringing your class to

CRFS? The Spring Semes-ter calendar is filling quick-ly. Contact us at crfs@uvu.edu.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Addiction Recovery Group Meeting Announcement

In celebration of Thanksgiving Day, the LDS Family Services Addiction Recovery Support Group Meeting will not be held on Thursday November 24th. We will resume our meetings on December 1st. Our support group meets weekly on Thursday evenings at 7:00 p.m. in the Wayne High School Seminary Building. We invite those who struggle with any type of addiction—or those who associ-ate with someone who does—to join us. These meetings provide a safe place to learn key principles of recovery and to draw strength from others who are breaking free of addiction.

The Lady Cats saw their first games, at the tournament in Richfield. These girls are very feisty, but small and young (8 freshmen), they gave it their best coming up short in both games. The girls are forced to shoot from outside, because of their size and only completed about 20% of their shots. They are going to get much better (because their shots will start falling) and are really fun to watch. Their next game is at Escalante on the 30th. It looks like Region 20 is going to be the dominate teams in the state again. Bryce Valley, Milford, Piute, Valley and Wayne all won both of their games. Wayne was the only team that I saw and they looked really good, should be a fun season for all of the teams. It not to late to get your season tickets, become a fan. The Bob Cats have their first game up at North Sevier on Nov. 23rd and then have a home game on the 30th against Enterprise. Talking to some of the players they feel that the have a much better team than last year. There is a unique game against Cross Creek on Dec. 1. The Lady Cats play at 5:30 and the boys will be at 7:00, these games will be played by the JV teams. Wrestling starts on Dec. 2 & 3rd with the Panguitch In-vitational. The Bob Cats have 23 wrestlers and all of the weight classes are covered this year, except the 105# class. The team is ranked #1 in the preseason polls. The Panguitch Invitational is really big with over 20 teams coming, so if you are a fan this is the event you don’t want to miss.

AT THE TOY STORE

Even with a thousand games, dolls and crafts to choose from, my customer at the toy store still couldn’t find a thing for her grand-son. “Maybe a video or some-thing educational?” I asked. “No, that’s not it,” she said. We wandered the aisles until something caught her eye: a laser gun with flash-ing lights and 15 different high-pitched sounds. “This is perfect,” she said, beaming. “My daugh-ter-in-law will hate it.”

CALLING WHO?

A telephone rang. “Hel-lo! Is your phone number 444-4444?” “Yes, it is,” came the re-ply.

“Thank Goodness! Could you call 911 for me? I super-glued my finger to

the phone.”

GARAGE SALE I took four tires to a friend’s garage sale and was asking $30 apiece. I needed to leave for a few minutes, so I asked him to watch them for me. “Sure,” he said, “but if someone offers less, how low are you willing to go?” “Try for more, but I will accept $15,” I said, and left. When I returned, my tires were gone. “How much did you get for them?” I asked excitedly. “Fifteen dollars each.” “Who bought them?” “I did!”

PRISON SIGN FAIL

Seen on a sign outside the Clinton Correc-tional Facility, a maximum security prison in Dannemora, New York: “The Dannemora Fire Department re-minds you it’s fire prevention week. Practice your escape plan.”

SUGAR PACKETS ANNOUNCEMENT

The Building Committee has been informed that opened sugar packets are being found in the nursery area. We have had some serious problems with ants in the past and would like to avoid any recurrences if possible. Coffee drinkers, please dispose of these packets prop-erly. If you are a coffee drinker but can’t read yet, please have your parents explain this to you.

PATIENT INFORMATION

Remember, if you have questions, Consult your Pharmacist.

Nonprescription Products for Acne If your acne is not too severe, safe and effective nonprescription products can provide relief. None of them will cure acne, but reducing its severity may be enough. You should not combine acne medications, as doing so could worsen dryness and irritation of the skin. Cleanse the skin by gently washing with a mild soap before applying acne products. The first time you try a new product, apply it sparingly in a thin layer to just a few small areas once daily. Reapply it in the same manner for 2 more days. If you notice that painful burning or irritation occurs, it may be best to try another product. If the substance pro-duces only a mild adverse reaction, you may wish to continue to use it and apply it to all affected areas. Eventually, you can begin to apply it two or three times daily, as directed on the label. You may also choose a product with a higher concentration of active ingredi-ent. If dryness or peeling becomes troublesome, you should reduce application to once daily or once every other day. Ingredients to look for include benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, sulfur/resorcinol, and sali-cylic acid. Examples of benzoyl peroxide trade names include Clearasil Daily Clear Acne Treatment Cream, Neutrogena On-the-Spot Acne Treatment, PanOxyl 4, Proactiv, and ZapZyt Gel. If you develop redness, burning, swelling, peeling, or itching, stop using the product. Keep it away from the eyes, mouth, and lips, and stay out of the sun while using it. Benzoyl peroxide can bleach hair or fabric due to its peroxide content. A product containing a combination of sulfur and resorcinol is Clearasil Daily Clear Adult Treatment Cream. It should not be applied to large areas of the skin or skin that is broken. Products containing salicylic acid include Clean & Clear Advantage Mark Treatment, Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash, OXY Daily Cleansing Pads, Stridex Daily Care Acne Pads, and ZapZyt Pore Treatment Gel. Treatments to Avoid You should be careful when choosing possible treatments for acne. Avoid any OTC products that are not proven safe and effective, such as those labeled “natural” or “ herb-al.” Some products are rubbed on the skin, and others may be oral tablets, but none are proven to work. Also avoid products that claim to help acne through harsh and repeated scrubbing with rough sponges or cleaning pads. These can actually damage the skin and worsen the overall situation. Certain Web sites sell small devices that claim to heal acne by generating light and/or heat. The user is instructed to place the hand-held device over a blemish and hold a button down for about 10 seconds, with the promise that these emissions will re-duce or eliminate acne. These devices are of unknown effectiveness in treating acne. In addition, soaps and facial washes contain-ing antibacterials such as triclocarban and triclosan have never been proven to be safe and effective for the treatment of acne. If your acne is severe and nonprescrip-tion products do not effectively control your breakouts, referral to a dermatologist may be necessary.

“Most people go to work; nurses go to care,” read a hospital clinic sign I recently walked by. I got to thinking about this mes-sage and how it’s not only applicable to nurses, but to all mankind. Yet, before I explore the latter, let me share with you about Ro-wena’s* --one very special nurse-- level of care and how it stood above the rest. “I’ll be right there, my love,” Rowena could be heard telling a patient. Or, “I need to turn on the light, my love, to see your beau-tiful face,” and even, “Yes, my love,” to a patient call-ing for her. Rowena’s words show care, but the way she delivered her care through a large and genuine smile did, too. Add to this her beauti-ful spirit and fun laugher and this is who you want to take care of you when you aren’t feeling well. At least I would. Compare this to some other medical staff’s behavior. One nurse I ob-served snipped, after asking a patient questions about a symptom and not hearing a reply quick enough, “I need to know this or I CAN’T help you!” No smile. No eye contact. No warmth. Instead, this nurse’s inter-personal communications skills were non-existent. It was almost like hear-ing a business deal being conducted, not what you’d expect a nurse patient ex-change to sound like. One more nurse read a ‘People’ magazine even though she knew a patient, not her patient, was ready to be hooked back up to ma-chines that were checking her vitals, after this patient had used the restroom. Yet, for almost 10 minutes, the patient, who was waving her hands to this nurse, even though not feeling well, was avoided. Still, when that nurse finally came, after putting the ‘People’ maga-zine down, and after chat-ting and laughing with co-workers, her body language said, “What the h _ _ _ do you want, and her voice,

“I’m NOT your nurse, but I saw you needed some-thing…” in a rude manner and the furthest thing from the word care. Essentially, “You are luckily I’m here. So, shut up and don’t ask me to do anything else.” Rowena puts patients first. Some of the others? Themselves, their ‘People’ magazine, chatting with co-workers, getting a meal or a snack, etc. One more medi-cal staff member demanded that a patient follow her, but the patient was still hooked up to a blood pressure cuff and had a thermometer in her mouth. “Do you want to unhook me first?” the pa-tient mumbled through the thermometer. This medi-cal staff member was more mortified that the patient spoke up than she was for leaving her patient still in a blood pressure cuff with a thermometer in her mouth. Patient-centered care? No way. And one more medi-cal staff member, with her shift about to end in a few minutes replied, “Don’t YOU want to go in YOUR own private bathroom?” after a patient, who was in ER, had to use the bathroom before she got in a wheel-chair to be transferred to her floor. To which the pa-tient replied, “I really need to go now.” The medical staff member, disappointed, said nothing. Look, if you are in the medical profession or any profession for that matter, a patient, employee or cus-tomer knows when you are giving patient-centered care or when you are merely go-ing to work. That includes you owners, bosses, super-visors, leaders, managers, and administrators, too, in any field. Do you deliver patient-centered care or do you walk by patients, em-ployees or customers with-out a genuine and sincere hello and inquiring how they really are? It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to tell the difference. Just ask the one patient, whose was patted several times on the

arm before she was backed into an MRI machine, even though scared to death and claustrophobic, “You’re gonna be alright. You’re gonna be alright,” said the technician nodding his head up and down, looking into her eyes, with warmth and genuine care and concern. Followed by, “I’ll be right there with you. I will be talking to you and you can talk to me.” “This made the world of difference to me,” said the patient. If you want to excel in your workplace whether it be a hospital, business or team, you better learn to care. American author and professor, Leo Buscaglia said, “Too often we un-derestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” So, if you’re in leader-ship, don’t just sprint to your office and stay there they whole day. When I hear of this, I want to vom-it. To me, this person isn’t a leader. A leader isn’t meant to be in his cave all day. Af-ter all, hunters didn’t. They wouldn’t have survived do-ing so. Neither will you, your business or keeping the best employees, forget it. And, for anyone, don’t keep looking at the clock because your shift ends in ten minutes. If you have to stay ten minutes more, so what? You will be re-warded in the end. Yet, if you have to leave to pick up a child from school, for ex-ample, be honest and say so. In spite of that, make sure you have coverage for your patient or customer and make that transition. For instance, “I have to leave to pick up my child, but Tom will be taking over. How-ever, I want you to know that not only is Tom awe-some, but it’s been a plea-sure serving you today.” Also, work never to appear rushed. Whoever you are with at the moment, give them your undivided atten-tion. Like they are the only person --even if you don’t know them and will never see them again in your life-- that matters in the world at that moment. Doing all of the former and latter will be a start to what Scott John-son pronounced, “Caring is a powerful business advan-tage.” In other words, go to care and not to work.*Name change Cynthia Kimball is a pro-fessional speaker and train-er through her company Every1Counts, LLC, and a doctoral student in Work-force Education Leader-ship.

I find it hard to believe that it was 20 years ago this week that I retired from the Torrance Fire Department, after 30 years, time flies when you are having a good time. The old buildings out at 10 mile have bit the dust. I can’t remember it ever being open, I didn’t pay much attention if the for sale signs had been taken down, it has been an eye-sore for a long time. Across the highway are the two Highway Patrol Crosses and the Utah Court has or-der them to be taken down. Last Friday the Beehive UHP signs were removed by order of the Court. A law suit was brought by an atheist, because the Bee-hive State Symbol and the Cross, on public highways, mixed State and Religion, a violation of the Constitu-tion. These crosses honor fallen Highway Patrolmen and what a shame it is that anyone can find them offen-sive, hopefully this Court ruling will be taking to a higher court and be over turned. Darlene Evans whose husband is one of those honored has plans to move them to her property on Main Street, just north of town. This will be a last op-tion if all else fails. Up and coming events, December 3, is Christ-mas in the Country. Santa comes to town at 10:00 am at the social hall and at 1:00 pm is the first of three Mer-chant drawings and later at 5:00-8:00 pm is the Christ-mas home tour. This is a Sub for Santa event and is a wonderful tradition that starts the Christmas Sea-son. The homes on tour are Matt & Jen Houston, Wally & Mary Beth Veater, Tim & Natalie Marshall, Allen & Jeanie Henrie and a fifth is in progress. The tickets are available at the homes and there is a $5.00 donation. In December there are a lot of fun dinners, start-ing on the 1st is the Family History Staff Dinner on the 6th is the First Ward Dinner at the Stake Center, at 6:00. The next night will be the Lions Club annual Christ-mas dinner. Please let me know if you would like your dinner in the column. On the 31st there will be the Cities New Years Eve Party at the Triple C, this event is a fun time and the last few years, it starts early and will be over at 10:00 am. The food and entertain-ment is always first class and it is a great way to ring out the old year. Have you notice the gas prices along I-15, no those $3.23 prices are not a miss print, Richfield is at $3.29.

The lowest price in the State is in Utah County at $3.05. The State average for regular gas is $3.32 and Garfield County is the high-est in the State at $3.59. There is a lot of walking wounded around town, my daughter Kelly had her knee operated on, as has Gloria Houston, Shane Jenson and Kelsey Barton. David and Sheree Frandsen, went un-der the knife, Sheree had an eye worked on and David had his appendix removed, both got out of bed to go to Richfield to see their daughter play ball at the tournament. Glen Partridge has come back to help with the boys basketball team, he had chest pain and went to the hospital and was life flighted to have stints put in. Glen also got out of bed to watch the games in Rich-field. These three ought to get the Panguitch fans award for the year. Veda and Glen Hale have closed the gallery for the winter. However, Becky at Cowboy Collectible can let anyone in who might be interested in a piece of art for a present or whatever. Veda had another picture accepted to be shown for the winter spiritual and re-ligious show at the Spring-ville Art Museum. This gives her the incentive to keep painting all win-ter. The Hale gallery has a beautiful Christmas tree that is lit and helps light up Main Street as well as with the Holiday season. I hope the merchants get the spirit and light up heir businesses. Several have their windows with a holiday theme and it is great! I understand long time friend, school teacher, Li-ons Club member, and re-turned Missionary, Sherril Henrie has gotten married, to someone who she met down at the Temple in St George. I hope it’s true she deserves the best. More on Social Security. Would you be better off in-vesting your money in the stock market and bonds? If you earned an average

wage in your career as the single breadwinner, you and your wife would re-ceive about $2,100 hundred a month. To have the same amount of monthly income you would have to have a savings of $580,000. The average benefit is $1,182 monthly, so you wouldn’t need as much to match that amount. Social Security is insurance and 401(k)s are savings. You can outlive your savings. However in the last 10 years the market has tanked twice, recently as 4 years ago. One of the things that has bolstered the funds in the system is that in 2010 sixty percent of the women in the Country are working. Not only do they boost their own retirement security, but also strengthen the system in a way that wasn’t fore-seen by its founders back in 1935. Women tend to out-live their husbands and Soc. Sec is their only income. Know one could every of expected that people would spend 1/3 of their life re-tired. Social Security is an in-tergeneration income trans-fer to preserve a modicum of dignity for those who have contributed to the American Society over a lifetime and deserve no less in their final years. There is a new campaign to shop small. With many of our business have closed down for the winter, there are still a number of stores that are open. Bobbie’s, Cowboy Collectables, and Forget Me Not, all offer great unique Christmas gifts. The Shed has a new shipment of antlers in to decorate your home with or give as gifts. They also have your sporting goods needs and Matt Houston is doing T shirts, the Shed logo is a big seller on their shirts. Shopping lo-cal helps out everyone, the storekeepers and their em-ployees and your sales tax helps out your city. Till next week stay safe. Mack O.

SURVIVOR’S CHECKLIST AND LEGAL PROCEDURES AT

DEATH

One of the greatest chal-lenges in this life is the loss of a loved one. Unfortu-nately, in addition to the ter-rible, emotional strain asso-ciated with this loss, there are many legal issues that must be addressed. This article attempts to provide a brief checklist of some of the legal issues that should be addressed upon the pass-ing of a loved one. Legal Documents: De-termine whether the de-ceased left a will, trust or other documents to take ef-fect upon death. Whether there is a will or trust will effect how the estate ad-ministration should pro-ceed. If there is no will or trust, state laws will govern the administration process. It should be noted that pow-ers of attorney that may have been used while the decedent was alive termi-nate upon death. Individuals Cared for by the Deceased: Minor chil-dren or incapacitated adults that were being cared for by the deceased must have someone else appointed to take care of their needs. Usually, a court will ap-point a guardian and/or conservator for the minor or incapacitated adult. This person can be designated in the deceased’s will. Inventory of Assets: It is

very important to locate all of the deceased’s assets and ensure that they are protect-ed and sufficiently insured. Secure and inventory fam-ily heirlooms, antiques and other personal property items of value. If the de-ceased lived alone, it may be wise to promptly change the locks on the home. In doing an inventory of the assets, it is helpful to take photos or videos. Payment of Creditors: Determine that there are sufficient assets in the es-tate to cover funeral ex-penses and other debts before paying any bills. If some creditors are paid and it is later determined that there are insufficient assets to pay others, there can be problems. Social Security: Contact the social security office to determine what benefit, if any, may be available for the surviving spouse and/or minor children. Tax Returns: Often, state and federal tax returns including the deceased’s fi-nal 1040 income tax return, the estate or trust’s 1041 in-come tax return, and possi-

bly an estate tax return may need to be filed depending on the status of the estate tax laws. The preceding is a brief list of some of the items that should be considered upon a loved one’s death. Although proper estate planning can do much to minimize and help simplify procedures at death, there are legal issues that must be addressed when a loved one dies. An estate plan that addresses and minimizes these legal issues is truly a wonderful gift for those that are left behind. Jeffery J.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR As Paul Harvey would say, “Now the rest of the story” In this letter to the editor you will note I have included the article submitted by the County Commissioners dated November 3, 2011 on page 6 of the Insider. After a couple of requests, I was able to re-ceive the attached copy of the letter from the State Tax Commission, “To Whom it May Concern”. Only excerpts were read in the Commissioners meeting of Oct 24, 2011 and printed in the Insider, Nov 3, 2011. Well done Commissioners, showing your colors. You will notice the Commissioners only took the praiseworthy portion that pertained to Carolyn Moosman in their article. The State Tax Commission after revaluations did make corrections regarding agriculture land and errors by Carolyn, which cost the county thousands of dollars. The written document referred to nine items I submitted to the State Tax Commission last November 10, 2010. They were referred to as “insignificant issues, but were rectified with the help of the Utah State Tax Commission representative”. Insig-nificant issues to individual tax payers, but important to them. The issues referred to above have little to do with the current investigation of Carolyn’s fiduciary responsibilities and malfeasance which relate to her job. These issues are in the hands of the County Sheriff and his deputy. We ask everyone to be patient and let the process of law take its course.

TO RESIDENTS OF WAYNE COUNTY

The following is an ex-cerpt from an October 12, 2011 letter from the Utah State Tax Commission. “…..an audit of the Wayne County Assessor’s Office was conducted by the Utah State Tax Commission to comply with Utah State laws. During this investi-gation, the Utah State Tax Commission found insig-nificant issues which were presented to Carolyn Moos-man and rectified with the help of a Utah State Tax Commission representa-tive. It is the Utah State Tax Commission’s opinion that Carolyn Moosman did not have any malicious intent or acquire personal gain within any areas of concern during the investigation. Though Richard Davis and his cohort continue to pres-ent complaints, as of the date of this letter, none of them have been determined to be significant. …..” Based upon the re-sults of this audit, Wayne County Commissioners unanimously voted to give Carolyn Moosman a vote of confidence and thank her and Trina Pace for do-ing an excellent job under extremely difficult circum-stances. It is our hope we can now move on and concen-trate on the many positive opportunities that are avail-able to improve conditions in Wayne County.

October 12, 2011To Whom It May Concern: For the tax roll ending January 1, 2011, an audit of the Wayne County Assessor’s Office was conducted by the Utah State Tax Commission to comply with Utah State laws. During the audit of the final tax roll conducted in June 2011, no material exceptions were found . How-ever, in July 2011, a Wayne County taxpayer called the Utah State Tax Commission to present a problem concerning a revaluation of their Greenbelt property. At that time it seemed that the revaluation was done appropriately according to Utah State laws. Shortly thereafter, there were additional complaints regarding revaluations made in the assessor’s office. Upon fur-ther review, it was determined these revaluations were not done in compliance with Utah State law. The Utah State Tax Commission informed the Wayne County Assessor’s Office, Clerk’s Office, and Treasurers Office that they must resolve the issue by using the July 22, 2011 valuation notice values on all out of compliance revaluations. The appropriate changes were made by the offices. Richard Davis, taxpayer of Wayne County, pre-sented a written document notifying the Utah State Tax Commission of additional areas of concern about the Wayne County Assessor, Carolyn Moosman. The document that Richard Davis sent is attached to this letter. All of the concerns listed that were relevant to the Utah State Tax Commission were investigated. During this investigation, the Utah State Tax Com-mission found insignificant issues which were pre-sented to Carolyn Moosman and rectified with the help of a Utah State Tax Commission representative. It is the Utah State Tax Commission’s opinion that Carolyn Moosman did not have any malicious intent or acquire personal gain within any areas of concern during the investigation . Though Richard Davis and his cohort continue to present complaints, as of the date of this letter, none of them have been determined to be significant. All Wayne County offices received education to help eliminate future issues of the same nature. The Utah State Tax Commission found that through edu-cation and training, all problems were completely re-solved .

Every time I stop to fuel up one of my vehicles, I get so damned mad, I could spit. Especially when you stop and think of the tens of billions of tax-payer dol-lars we are sending to these countries for oil. Oil we have right here in this na-tion. Most of these coun-tries would just as soon kill us as look at us. They use part of this money to fuel the violence and terrorism against us. This needs to stop. But first, we need to stop the E.P.A. This organiza-tion has been sucking the life out of this country for years. They are regulating our country into total sub-mission. This organization should change its name to Environmental Protection Agency Destroying Ameri-ca (EPADA). Think about what could happen if the EPADA backed off of the choke hold it has on the en-ergy industry. How many people do you think this would put back to work? Now, I know we have to look at other forms of energy, but until the green energy becomes more af-

fordable to all of us, let’s look at the other color en-ergy. Black energy, such as oil and coal. What would happen to the unemployment rate if we were to start building new refineries and new, more efficient, coal-fired power plants? This alone would put millions of people to work right now. How about yellow energy? Nuclear energy is the cleanest and most affordable energy you could hope for. And again, how many people would it take to build 10 to 20 new nuclear power plants? I am not advocating we turn everyone loose and do what ever they want. We had regulations in place 20 to 25 years ago and it worked just fine. Most of

us all know that this will never happen, as long as we have this bunch or morons that would sell their soul for a few votes. However, we can change a lot of that in 2012. This country can’t af-ford another 4 years of this current House, Senate, and Administration. We will be lucky to survive what this last one has done. Now, Obama said he wanted to “spread the wealth”. That’s the only thing he’s got, right? He also said he wanted to “level the playing field”. Well, Mr. Wonder-ful, what happens when the playing field is level, and you run out of players (tax-payers)?

ESCALANTE NEWSMarlene Haws Ph: 826-4859 marleneh@color-country.net

On Thursday, Novem-ber 24, 2011 Angelique Griffin, Katie Crosier, Bobbi Coughlin and Mar-ian Casse’, and others, are volunteering their time and means to cooking a turkey dinner. This dinner will be served at the Escalante Stake center at 4:00 P. M. The dinner will be free to anyone who doesn’t have family in town or don’t plan to go out of town and would like to join with oth-er friends and neighbors to have Thanksgiving dinner. If you would like to bring a salad or dessert to help supplement the meal this would be great or if you would like to make a dona-tion to help pay for inciden-tals that would be appreci-ated. This has been done in the past by another group, who are all out of town this year, so congratulations to the ladies and their helpers who have taken up where the others left off. A great gesture! The flags that were fly-ing all along main street for Vetera n’s day were not all down before the dedicated committee of five were al-ready putting up the Christ-mas lights. Our thanks to Elaine Lott, Terry Ol-sen, Blaine Porter, Valerie Sparks and Darrell Grif-fin for all their hard work. There has always been at least a few willing volun-teers in the past to help with this project but, as far as I know, there was not a one this year. This is not like Escalante, Folks. Put that on your calendars for next year and try to lend a hand if at all possible. Those lights do a lot to lift the spirits during the holidays. Jennifer Christensen was looking unusually happy last Friday at Subway. She,

Chris and family were just getting ready to drive to the Cedar City airport to meet their son Peter who is re-turning from his LDS Mis-sion to the Marshall Island Majuro Mission. Looking back that time seems short, but looking ahead it sure does seem like a LONG time. Welcome home, Pe-ter! Jody Brooks has been to Mesa, Arizona to spend a couple of days with her mom, Yoland McInelly Garrison Lyman was in-ducted into the service on October 4. He is stationed at Fort Benning, Georgia at the present. He will be coming home for Christmas before being transferred to New York. Joe Brotherson, who is in the air force is looking forward to being home for Christmas. His grandpar-ents, Jackie and Larry With-ers, are probably looking forward to seeing him too. Which reminds me, Larry recently had some surgery. Hopefully, he is on his way to complete recovery. Lori Coleman has been driving her parents, Lee and Kathleen Williams, back and forth to Cedar City to have cataract surgery. Kathleen has had both eyes done now and Lee will get his second one done this week. Maybe he and Del-ane Griffin will pass in the hallway at the doctor’s of-fice. Delane was scheduled for his surgery the same day. Terry Lynn (Gates) and Jim Dowdle were back in town again last weekend. Still doing things on their rental. It is always good to visit with them and Terry still has that wonderful, bubbly personality. She has just retired from her job

with the Head Start Pro-gram in Davis County. Kory Haws, son of Rick Haws, is back in the states again and looking forward to being home for Christ-mas. He will split the time with his mom, Randie Haws, in Hurricane. Julie Ford drove the senior citizen bus to Ce-dar City last week with a group who needed to shop and do other errands. In-cluded on her passenger list were: Margean Schow, Beth Smith, Peggy Soren, Billie Cox, Angelique Grif-fin, Marian Casse’, Katie Crosier and Sheila Mickey. They had so much fun they are already looking forward to the next time! Lindsay Phillips, daugh-ter of Jill and Todd, had an accident, a couple of weeks ago, while riding her horse. But we are glad to hear that she is doing okay and has been to basketball prac-tices. On a more solemn note…. Deon and Arnold Alvey re-ceived word that Steve Ari-al Budrant, 46, has passed away in Boise, Idaho after suffering a heart attack. Steve is the son of Renee and Sherman Bundrant. Renee is a daughter of Faye and Arial Alvey and grew up in Escalante. Renee and her daughter, Faye, are the only ones left in that fam-ily now. Sherman and their daughter , Fern, passed away some time ago. I’m glad to hear that La-Vee Alvey Wiscomb, an-other of Faye and Arial Al-vey’s daughters, is getting our news and keeping track of us. Some of you may know that she had a stroke last February but has recov-ered pretty well. We are always glad to hear good news to that effect.

Ask A Specialist: How Can I Be Sure of Mail-order Food Safety?

With the holiday season approaching, mail-order foods are a popular, convenient gift. However, ordering foods through the mail can bring about concerns relating to food safety, shelf life and distribution. It is important to know how both food and packaging should look when perishable mail-order foods arrive. This is especially true for meat, poultry, fish and other perishable foods that must be carefully handled in a timely manner to prevent foodborne illness. The following tips will help both the purchaser and the recipient determine if their perishable foods have been handled properly.• Be sure the company sends perishable items cold or frozen and packed with a cold source such as frozen gel packs or dry ice. They should be packed in foam or heavy cor-rugated cardboard.• The food should be delivered as quickly as possible — ideally, overnight. Make sure perishable items and the outer package are labeled “refrigerate on arrival and keep refrig-erated” to alert the recipient of that need.• If you are the recipient of a food item, open it immediately and check its temperature. The food should arrive frozen, partially frozen or at least refrigerator cold ― below 40 F as tested with a food thermometer. Even if a product is smoked, cured, vacuum packed or fully cooked, it is still a perishable product and must be kept cold. If perishable food arrives above 40 F, notify the company. Do not consume or even taste the food.• If you are the gift giver, alert the recipient that the gift is in the mail so someone can be there to receive it. Don’t have perishable items delivered to an office unless you know it will arrive on a work day and there is refrigerator space available to keep it cold. Many people enjoy cooking and sending family-favorite foods to loved ones. The same rules that cover the mail order industry also apply to foods prepared and mailed from home. Make sure perishable foods are not held at temperatures between 40 and 140 F,

Some Thoughts to Consider as the

Holidays approach...History keeps repeating itself...That’s whats wrong with history (Clarence Darrow)

The proper time to influence the character of a child...is about 100 yrs BEFORE he is born!! (William R. Inge)

Being right half the time beats being half-right ALL the time! (Malcom Forbes)

Sentiment without action is the ruin ofthe soul (Ed-ward Abbey)

You are made in the image of what you desire (Thomas Merton)

YOU will not become a saint through other people’s sins. (Anton Chekhov)

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold sto-ry inside you (Maya Angelou)

Character is like a tree,,,and a reputation like a shad-ow...the shadow is what we think of it: the tree is the REAL thing (Abraham Lincoln)

The main purpose of the Stock Market is to make fools of as many men as possible (Bernard Baruch)

A great TRUTH is a truth whose OPPOSITE is also a truth (Thomas Mann)

the “danger zone,” for longer than two hours. Pathogenic bacteria can grow rapidly between these temperatures, but may not affect the taste, smell or appearance of a food. For perishable foods prepared at home and mailed, follow these guidelines.• Ship in a sturdy box packed with a cold source such as frozen gel packs or dry ice.• When using dry ice, do not touch it with bare hands, and don’t let it come in direct contact with food. Warn the recipient of its use by writing “contains dry ice” on the box. Wrap the box in two layers of brown paper.• Do not send packages at the end of the week. Send them at the beginning of the week so they do not sit in the post office or mail-ing facility over the weekend.• Whenever possible, send foods that do not require refrigeration such as hard salami, hard cheese and country ham.

Dear LEPC Members The Wayne County Commissioners would like to invite you to a Public Agency Co-operating Council luncheon. It will be held at 12:00 noon on November 21, 2011 at the Civic Center 88 West Center Loa. This luncheon will provide public agencies an oppor-tunity to present projects and activities that affect the economy, local job creation, and commercial activities within Wayne County. The luncheon will follow a round-robin format, each participant will be given time to briefly detail activities their agency has been involved in during the past year 2011 and report any current or upcoming projects scheduled for implementation during the next six months. The intent of this luncheon is not to belabor questions of policy but to share economic projects with the Wayne County Commission and allow feedback. If you are unable to attend please send a representative from your agency in your place. As this is an opportunity to share information about how public agencies are working with and influencing the economy in Wayne County we hope to make this a biannual event. An agenda will be handed out at the meeting, and lunch will be provided by the Wayne County Commissioner. We look forward to seeing you there and learning of your projects!

Sincerely, Wayne County Commission
