Southern Utah Heritage Choir Fall Concert September 20thBy Kathy Brown

20, 2019, at 7:30 P.M., in the CoxPerforming Arts Center, Dixie StateUniversity.

According to Dr. Peterson,this concert represents “the best ofthe Southern Utah Heritage Choir.”The program includes favorites fromtheir 2018-2019 concert repertoireas well as some beloved hymns andanthems that span over two decadesof performances. It also incorporatesfour a’cappella pieces that the choirwill be performing in St. Peter’sBasilica in Rome. To begin the con-cert, the choir pulls out all the stopsto present Jeffery L. Ames’ majes-tic, rhythmic Latin setting titled“Gloria Fanfare,” followed by DanForrest’s exquisite “My Jesus I LoveThee.” The choir will finish the setwith an a’cappella selection, RalphManuel’s timeless “Alleluia,” fol-lowed by Tami Creamer’s touchingarrangement of “Take Time to beHoly.”

Next featured are three tradi-

tional Americana selections. First, thechoir picks up the pace with MackWilberg’s exuberant “Bound for thePromised Land,” followed by “Pil-grim Song,” a stirring, folk hymnwith rich, harmonic texture arrangedby Ryan Murphy, Associate Con-ductor of the Tabernacle Choir atTemple Square. The choir finisheswith Shawn Kirchner’s “Sweet Riv-ers,” a delightful favorite from thechoir’s Flag Day Concert that pairsan old hymn text with an originalmelody. Kirchner’s brilliant workalso couples polyphonic choral stylewith a banjo-like piano accompani-ment. Both elements add consider-able motion and excitement through-out the piece.

The list of favorites continueswith Mack Wilberg’s inspiring“Come, Come Ye Saints” followedby two short, yet moving a’cappellapieces, Rene Clausen’s “Set Me AsA Seal” and a Russian hymn, “HearMy Prayer” by Alexander Kopylov.

Organist, Karen Kennedy will thenfollow with Rick Elliot’s intricate or-gan arrangement of Handel’s “TheRejoicing.”

The choir returns with morefavorites: Craig Courtney’s master-ful text painting expressed in “FromEarth to Heaven,” Norwegian com-poser, Ola Gjeilo’s stunning piece“Across the Vast Eternal Sky,” onelast a’cappella selection, “God SoLoved the World,” and TamiCreamer’s “I Know That My Sav-

ior Loves Me,” a children’s hymnthat has become a favorite through-out the world. The choir will closewith Dan Forrest’s compelling ar-rangement of one of the most be-loved hymns of all time, “How GreatThou Art.” The choir invites thecommunity to enjoy this wonderfulevening of music. Tickets for theperformance are $15 and can bepurchased from choir members andthe Dixie State University ticket of-fice.

With all the miracles ofmodern technology, the pri-mary treatment used by mostpeople who struggle with eyeirritation is still artificialtears. But that is finallychanging and here is why itmatters.

First , understand theimportance of your naturaltears. We recognize that thehuman cornea is a powerfullens made from a delicatelayer of living, breathingkeratin-fiber tissue. Becauseblood vessels make terriblewindows, i t is avascular.Like all living tissue, yourcorneas need the same sup-port that the rest of yourbody needs… support thatyour vascular system nor-mally transports. And all of

Isn’t It Time We Change The Way We Think About DryEye?By Dr Paul Gooch

that support has to comefrom the fluid behind the cor-

nea (aqueous humor), andthe fluid in front of the cor-nea (the mucous/aqueous/lipid layers of your tears).

Human tears are morethan just “wetness.” Theyare a rich complex of pro-teins, mucins, enzymes, gly-coproteins, immunoglobulins,

lipids, electrolytes, water,organic solutes, electrolytes,several classes of lipids, waxesters, tr iglycerides, freefatty acids, polar lipids andneutral diesters. This richbrew of biochemistry is nec-essary to keep your corneashealthy! Further, the produc-tion of this cornea-support-ing concoction is controlledby complicated nervous-sys-tem feedback loops that relyheavily on the nerves in yourcorneas, the rest of the frontof your eye, and even lightreceptors on the inside.

Is it any wonder that ar-tificial tears do so little forus with ingredient lists thatrarely have more than threeor four agents? They do of-fer wetness, but most dry-eye isn’t really “dry” afterall. We are searching for bet-ter diagnost ic terms, but“poor quality natural tears”is the disease behind what we

have called dry-eye. Theroot causes of poor-tears areonly partially understood atthis point, but they are likelyrelated to factors like atro-phied corneal innervation,history of corneal surgery likeLASIK, ind iv idua l bodychemistry, diet, climate, ge-netics, exposure to environ-mental factors, lid position-ing and the integrity of aperson’s blinking.

Today’s cutting edgetreatments are largely focusedon helping your eyes makebetter quality tears. We have

treatments that reduce inflam-mation, focus on improvingthe oil layer, stimulate theneurological inputs, and useregenerative therapies for thefront surface of your eye us-ing amniotic tissue. We willbe having a dry eye seminarat our office on Wednesday,October 16th at 6:00pm. Weinvite you to this free and in-format ive presenta t ion .Please RSVP by calling us at435-673-5577.

Do you wake up stiff inthe morning? Feel like you haveto roll out of bed like a log andslowly inch yourself up? Doesit take a good 20 minutes ormore before you feel like youcan finally move like a normalhuman being? Do long car ridesor sitting for long periods of timebecome almost unbearable?

If you can answer yes toany of these questions, you arelikely suffering from arthritis inyour low back. You may noticeyour pain is at its worst in themorning. Once you get moving,your pain begins to subside. Thepain often remains in the lowback and may occasionally ra-diate into the buttocks. Infre-quently, it will radiate furtherdown the leg. You may experi-

Arthritis In The Lower Back What To Watch For And HowTo Treat ItBy Brian Jorgensen

ence tightness in your low back.Your mother would tell you tostand up straight but you areunable to due to the pain.

Long car rides becomemiserable and even the best talkat church does not make the pewany more comfortable for yourback.

Your doctor may order anX-ray, CT scan or MRI toevaluate your low back pain.You may hear words like: facetarthropathy, lumbar spondylosisand facet hypertrophy. Theseterms all essentially refer tosmall joints in our spine calledfacet joints or zygopophyseal

joints (if you are looking for anew word of the day). Thesejoints prevent excessive twistingand bending of the spine. Thejoints are larger as you movedown the spine and allow lessmovement to improve stabiliza-tion. There is a small fluid-filledsac that surrounds each joint al-lowing the joints to glide on eachother during our daily move-ments. When these sacs becomeirritated, the small nerve fiberswithin send our brain a signal ofpain. Our back muscles then tryto protect these joints and tenseup and go into spasm. This mayhappen only once or twice ayear. Some experience this typeof pain daily.

So what can you do?Medications can be prescribedto alleviate the muscle spasmsand reduce the pain. Proper pos-ture, as our mother alwaystaught us, will help reduce re-currence.

Commonly, the aid of a

local physical therapist is best tohelp demonstrate proper exer-cises to strengthen our coremuscle groups and improve ourposture. Interventional spinespecialists or pain managementdoctors can inject steroid intothese joints. If the steroid injec-tions work well but only last ashort while, lumbar medialbranch radiofrequency ablationcan be performed.

First, numbing medication(lidocaine) is placed into thejoints and a pain diary is kept torate

your pain relief over the

next few hours. If you have sig-nificant reduction of your painfor the first two hours followingthe procedure, you are a greatcandidate for radiofrequencyablation.

Radiofrequency ablation, oressentially burning of the nerve,can provide pain relief for 1-2years before the nerve regener-ates. This procedure can be re-peated as necessary every year.

If you feel like you may besuffering from any of these symp-toms please feel free to contactour office, Desert Pain Special-ists, at 435-216-7000.


Crazy week and past monthin the markets in August, so we havea lot of moving factors that havedriven interest rates to a three yearlow. So, as we move through Sep-tember, here are some things to thinkabout in order to improve andsharpen your home finances goinginto spring.

1. The fed has announcedthat there will not be any further in-terest rate increases in 2019.

That means that long termrates and or mortgage rates havedriven to their lowest in a year andthus, with good credit and factorsput us right back at the 3.75% markwith good credit on the 30-year fixedmortgage. So, if you have any needto lower your mortgage payment oryou need to consolidate debt, nowis the time.

By Brandon Hansen

The 3-4% Mortgage Is Back. What Can I Do?2. Take a look at your mort-

gage and your outside debt in creditcards or department store cards etc.You can utilize your mortgage to payoff debt in a quarter of the time. Forexample, if you have 10,000 in creditcard debt, then your minimal pay-ment is roughly about 250.00 permonth. By paying off the card withyour mortgage it reduces the pay-ment to 50.00 per month. Basicallyadding 10,000 to your mortgage pay-ment increases it by only 50.00 permonth.

You can utilize the savings tobuild up a cushion and keep yourcredit cards to minimum amounts,or you can continue to pay the sameamount that you were on the cardsbut towards the mortgage and withthe lower mortgage interest rate youwill pay off the debt in a quarter ofthe time.

If you can refinance your

home and save interest and pay-ments then it usually makes sense.Then if you can pay off outside debtor other debt with the mortgage andconsolidate into one low paymentthen it easily makes sense.

3. Watch your closing costs.If you refinance your mort-

gage and save 100.00 per month,for example, but the loan costs you3,000 then it doesn’t make sense.It will take you 30 months to makeup the costs in the payment or basi-cally break even. I only like to refi-nance if you can break even in thefirst year. Keep your costs to a mini-mum. Call our team or talk to yourlocal lender or bank and or creditunion and see if they offer a no feerefinance. Sometimes they will in-crease the interest rate by an eighthof a percent in order to waive allfees. We can do this in any situa-tion. Instead of having fees of a

couple thousand between title insur-ance and lender fees, ask our teamor the lender if they offer a no – feeoption. If you can lower your pay-ment and reduce your interest andnot have any costs, then whywouldn’t you?

If you can lower your pay-ment by even 50.00 per month andnot have any fees, then it makessense as long as you hold the sameamortization. The point is in low-ering your payment and or interestwith minimal fees and break evenin a year or less it should be a no-brainer.

4. Make sure your lenderdoes not charge you up front fees iffor example you want to

Re lock if rates continue todrop, or your appraisal does notcome in high enough.

Your lender should take thatrisk if they are willing to give you aloan under the circumstances.

If your lender rolls out a planfor your mortgage and something

does not work as far as appraisedvalue, and or credit, then pleasemake sure you are not paying anyof the fees. It does not make sensefor a mortgage planner to give you aplan of attack only to go down theroad for a few weeks and realize heor she can’t help or improve the situ-ation and yet you had to pay a500.00 appraisal fee! Make sureyour lender puts their money wheretheir mouth is and gives you a planto go by, but backs you up for anyreason that it may not close or workthe way it was rolled out. And, pleasedo not agree with the situation wherethey are just putting all of the feesinto the loan. That is not a no feeloan. There are still fees, if they areputting them into the loan or not,there is still fees.

At the end of the day, if youneed to refinance or you are lookingat purchasing a home, interest ratesare in great shape. Just watch yourclosing fees. Until next time.

By the early 1860s,the herds of cattle freelygrazed the hills and dales ofthe Texas landscape. As theMexicans retreated furthersouth, they left behind thosestrange-looking long-hornedcattle to fend for themselves.And fend they did, quicklymultiplying with no naturalenemies or competition for

the grasses that filled the gul-lies and lowlands. The feralherds numbered more than3.5 million, and any man withhalf a brain moving throughthis land looking for new op-portunities could put two andtwo together and see the bo-nanza lounging in the ar-royos. The eastern seaboardwas hungry for beef steaks,and the new steel rails werebeginning to spread westwardon many fronts.

A few of the men

who came took advantage ofthe situation. They wouldcome to be called “cattle bar-

ons” as they grabbed up hugetracts of land, and began

sending their cowboys andvaqueros out to round up allthe strays they could find.

The Civil War slowedthem down and many of theBarons and their hired handsjoined in the fight, but theBarons stayed as close asthey could to Texas duringthe conflict. Some joined theTexas Rangers whose jobwas basically to fend offtr ibes of Comanches andKiowas (a threat more toTexas than the Confederacy).

Still, after the war,large numbers of Long Hornsroamed the land. Any cowor bull without a brand wasfair game.

One of the Barons, bythe name of Sam Maverick,settled on a broad ranchlandnear the San Antonio River.When a client gave him 400cattle to settle a $1,200 debt,the 19th-century south Texaslawyer had no use for them,so he le f t the ca t t le un-branded and allowed them toroam freely (supposedly un-der the supervision of one ofhis employees).

Since Maverick didn’tbelieve in branding his stock.As long as they were herdedonto the land of his ranch, hewarned others, they were hisand others scouting for un-

branded heads should avoidhis ranch – under fear of be-ing shot if found rustlingthere. But the threat didn’tseem to deter his neighbor-ing s tockman, and theyseized the opportunity tobrand and herd Maverick’scat t le to their own land.Maverick eventually recog-nized the folly of the situa-tion and sold what was leftof his depleted herd, but notbefore his name became syn-onymous wi th such un-branded livestock.

By the end of the 19thcentury, the term maverick wasbeing used to refer to anyyoung, unbranded cow, bull orsteer, as well as individualswho prefer to blaze their owntrails. Texan, as a whole, areindependent souls, and manyaccept the term as part of theirown persona.

tools and resources necessary forparticipants and caregivers to facethe challenges of a memory loss ill-ness. Classes will promote brainhealth and help participants plan forthe future. The 10-week course isdesigned to aid the person withmemory loss and their primary carepartner and include presentations onlegal and financial preparation, phar-maceutical and alternative remedies,brain health and nutrition.

Symptoms of memory losscan be caused by reversible condi-tions. It is important to quickly see adoctor to rule out those conditions.If the diagnosis is an illness, such asAlzheimer’s disease, there are thingsthat can be done in the early stagesto help the person function betterand function longer. There are alsoproactive decisions that give voiceto the person with memory loss inthe future. It is important to facethis life event early. Being in denialduring the early stages can cause afamily to miss opportunities to im-prove the situation.

“There are seven stages ofdementia,” says LuAnn Lundquist,Memory Matters Founder and Di-rector. “The first one is where thedisease process is evident in brainpathology, but few symptoms are

evident. Stages two through four arevery important stages to recognizeand then become active to maintainbrain health as well as making prepa-rations and decisions for the future.After stage four, many of those op-portunities are limited.”

“Clients that are proactive intheir health are the ones that usuallysign up for this intervention. We haveseen a lot of success with those whoattend this course,” says Lundquist.“Alzheimer’s and dementia can

seem overwhelming, but with thiscourse our clients walk away feel-ing better prepared and empoweredto face the future.” .

Memory Matters Utah/Ne-vada is 501(c)(3), local, nonprofitorganization. Our mission is to re-duce isolation and improve wellnessfor individuals with dementia andtheir caregivers through activities,support, education and consultation.Learn more at: www.memorymattersutah.org

Sadly one of the partnersand casualties was a very capable

leader Mladen Stojanovic killedby the Chetniks, a Yugoslav roy-alist group, who also were partof the resistance to the Axis pow-ers. Lepa Radic had been partof the partisan group that re-tookfour towns in occupied Yugosla-via, although she had seen nobloodshed and had not been en-

gaged in the fighting, her heartswelled as she walks throughBosanska Petrovac, gun at herwaist without fear ofbeing arrested, andhaving the residentshug her, thank andbless her for helpingthem. Word of the liberation ofthese four towns did not takelong to reach the ears of HerrHitler. His threat, one hundred

hostages will be executed forevery German killed and 50 hos-tages for every soldier wounded

struck to the very heart of eventhe fiercest resistance leader.The threat became a dual edgedsword, it strengthened the re-solve of many partisans not betaken hostage. The Chetniks, ledby Draza Mihailovic, althougha Serbian, and a Yugoslav roy-alist, he played both sides for his

benefit and remained collabora-tors with Axis powers until theend of the war. Mihailovic’sChetniks are accredited withbeing the first resistant unit toliberate a European town, but itis unknown to which side of theconflict benefited from this ac-tion. Draza Mihailovic was ex-ecuted at the end of the war asa war criminal.

People are living longer thanever, which means planning todayis essential. Even if you’ve doneeverything right to plan for retire-ment and your future, chances areyou haven’t planned for long-termcare.

What assets will you spenddown first if you need long-termcare?

You see, most people will dipinto their investments or retirementsavings to pay for long-term careand unfortunately 70% of peopleover the age of 65 will need long-term care. And 20% of people willrequire long-term care for more than5 years. That can get expensive.

Nationwide long-term carecosts average $80,000 a year fornursing home care. Here in Utah,

The Secret To Getting The Care You WantBy Barry Brooksby the cost of a private room in a nurs-

ing home is over $93,000 a year.Instead of spending down as-

sets dollar-for-dollar to pay for care,it’s possible to make those assetsmore valuable and last longer. Forexample, a $200,000 IRA could po-tentially turn into over $800,000 oftax-free money for long-term care.

This is the secret of getting thecare you want. By using current as-sets and structuring them correctly,you can have more money to usefor your care.

However, the old type of long-term care plans have downfalls suchas increasing premium costs, limitedtime for use of benefits, and nothingto show for it if you never use thecare.

The smart alternative is tohave the new type of long-term careplans. These new long-term care

plans have advantageous benefitsthat make them an asset in your port-folio such as:

· No increasing premiumcosts.

· Unlimited lifetime care op-tions.

· Potential for return of pre-miums.

· A death benefit you canpass to heirs if you don’t use thecare.

· You and your spouse onone contract to save the cost of ad-ditional premiums.

So, instead of selling off as-sets to pay for long-term care, youcan protect your retirement and yourloved ones with the new type oflong-term care plans that actuallymake sense.*

*Application, approval, andqualification for long-term care in-

surance are required. Not everyonewill qualify.


Gluten Free and Guilt Free What Couldbe Better?By Bev Rankin, aka, TheBread Lady

Gluten intolerance has becomea well-known disease and it seemslike we hear about it a lot and evenhave family members who are glu-ten intolerant. While running ourbread trailer, we had tons of requestsfor gluten free bread and other bakeditems which did not include wheat,barley, spelt, rye, oats and triticale,as well as other additives such asstabilizers or thickening agents. Ac-cording to Celiac Disease.com, “ce-liac disease is an autoimmune disor-der of the small bowel that occurs ingenetically predisposed people of allages from middle infancy. Whiledifficult to diagnose, each day doc-

tors are correctly diagnosing morepeople with the disease based on theirceliac symptoms. Treatment of thedisease typically involved being ona gluten-free diet”. Several grainsand starch sources are consideredacceptable for a gluten-free diet.

Most often used are maize (corn),potatoes, rice, and tapioca. Othergrains and starch sources generallyconsidered suitable for gluten-freediets include amaranth, arrowroot,millet, montina, lupine quinoa sor-ghum, sweet potato and yam. Purebuckwheat and gram flour are also

gluten free and acceptable.With that all said, the

recipe I have chosen today, isone my daughter and I madewhile she was visiting fromWashington State. She is noton a gluten-free diet, but is on a“clean” eating regiment. I wouldnot have believed that this par-ticular recipe would have turnedout so awesomely good tasting,but believe me, it is wonderful.Not only is it gluten free, it isguilt free. Talk about a healthyyet good tasting treat!

By Shaun McCausland

We regularly warn ourreaders about threats to theircomputers. I probably write 7-8articles a year talking about newviruses, ransomware or othermalicious programs that cancause a lot of problems, dam-age or delete files, or corrupt orchange your ability to accessthings on-line.

I am going to mention afew of these today so you knowwhat they are, but first, I wantto address a problem a lot ofpeople are having with theirphone messaging and/orFacebook messaging applica-tions. Most of us send multipletext messages every day. Thesemay go to family or friends orthey may be general broadcaststo all our contacts or specificquestions to business associates.

Recently, a number ofpeople I know personally havehad their messaging accounts“hacked” or compromised insome way. Usually they onlydiscover this when someonethey know calls them to ask whythey sent something inappropri-ate or confusing to them. As theyresearch it, they realize thatsomeone else is using their in-formation to send stuff out tothe people on their contact listwithout their permission. Often,because of the content of themessage, this can be very em-barrassing or may even createconflicts. They are often filled

Worms and OtherMalware

with poor English or foul lan-guage and can contain picturesor videos that are totally inap-propriate. It tells the receiver ofthe message that it is from youand they open it.

This does two things –You get a picture, video or

message that you definitely didnot want to see, and by open-ing it you also allow the prob-lem into you computer, tabletor phone where it duplicatesthe message and sends it toeveryone in your contact list

indicating it is from you.This type of infection is

called a “worm” as it travelsfrom one device to another,creating copies of itself as itgoes. Each device thus infectedtries to send an infecting mes-sage to all the people in thatdevices’ contact list and it goeson and on.

Things you can do toavoid this type of problem(though nothing I am aware ofwill totally stop it except stay-ing off the internet and phonemessaging networks) are tomake sure your operating sys-tems and protection (anti-virus/anti-malware) are up to date,not opening any file (especiallypictures and videos that youdid not ask for or do not havedescriptions that you recog-nize) that comes to your emailor messaging apps and notclicking on anything you didnot ask for specifically. It takeswill-power to just say “no” tomessages such as “What ev-eryone over 65 needs to knowabout Social Security” and

similar ploys.In previous and future ar-

ticles, we will also look at othertypes of hacks such asransomware, logic bombs,trojans, boot record infectors,adware, spyware, eavesdrop-ping and phishing attacks, manin the middle attacks and oth-ers. Those who want to stealyour information, piggy backon your contact lists to spreadnegative content or sell thingsor damage your informationhave become very skilled andvery persistent. Do not thinkyou are alone or foolish if youget attacked by these people.Even the US Government and

big corporations with huge ITdepartments have it happen.Just protect yourself the bestyou can, calling your computerspecialist when you get introuble, and remember tomake sure you have at leastone backup (preferably two) ofanything important to you –especially when changing yourOS or buying a new computer.

Orphan Trains

Veterans’ Calendar F S Su M Tu W Th F S Su M

The Orphan Trains re-located at least two hundredthousand children west fromNew York and Boston. Thedescendants of these childrenare estimated to be two anda half million people. It is alsoestimated that one in twenty-five Americans has an orphantrain rider connection. ShirleyGage Hodges’ article “WasYour Ancestor an OrphanTrain Rider?” suggests “Ifyou have an ancestor born inthe 1854 to 1929 time framewho just ‘appeared’ in theUnited States in the Midwest,you might want to check intothe possibility that he or shewas an Orphan Train rider.”

Hodges also states thatwe should not be confusedby the term Orphan. Manyof these children were not or-phans and had at least oneparent living. The reason chil-dren they put on these trainswere many. Poverty, one par-ent left home or died, illegiti-mate, mistreated at home, orjuvenile delinquents. Many ofthe delinquents were orphanstrying to survive on thestreets. Charles Loring Braceof the Children’s Aid Societyfelt that the pioneers of thewest could use these childrento help on the farms. Theywere to treat the children likefamily and were required topay the older children. Manychildren rode the train to Illi-nois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,

Missouri, Nebraska, orTexas.

Unfortunately, not everplacement was a happy one.The children would arrive atthe train depot and put on astage that resembled slaveauctions. The children wouldbe examined for physicalstrength, endurance, andeven at times, having theirteeth examined like theywere animals. Siblings weresplit up and never saw eachother again. The childrenwere instructed not to con-tact their birth parents. Theywere to have no past.

If you think you mayhave an ancestor who rodeon an Orphan Train, the ge-nealogy of many of thesechildren can be traced backto the Children’s Aid Societyor the New York FoundlingHospital who participated inthe project. Geni.com’s ar-ticle “The Orphan Train Rid-ers” suggests that you mayalso find information on the“deed books of the countiesthat received the children.Deed books were commonlyused to record the adoptionsof children or the apprentice-ships Justice of the peacedockets, guardians’ records,county order records, andboard of supervisor’s min-utes” may also have informa-tion that will help in yoursearch. Hopefully, these chil-dren will not be forgotten.
