Dixie State University’s Sears Art Museum Presents Local,COVID-19 Exhibits

Featuring two distinct ex-hibits, Dixie State University’sSears Art Museum is showcas-ing “From the Permanent Col-lection: Kardas” and “COVID-19 Pops-Up in Art” this sum-mer.

The exhibits are availablefor viewing in the Eccles FineArts Center Grand Foyer on theDixie State campus through Aug.28 on Mondays through Fridays

from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., excepton holidays when the museumis closed. The Kardas exhibit isviewable as a digital display inthe foyer or in an online galleryat searsart.com/kardas. Themuseum is located at 155 S.University Blvd. in St. Georgeand admission is free.

“From the Permanent Col-lection: Kardas” highlights theromantic journey of Raymondand Virginia Kardas and thepractice of art they exploredwhen they retired to Hurricane.Raymond, a retired physicist-

engineer, and Virginia, a ceram-ist, met in an art class and wenton to pursue their interests inhistory and archeology by ex-tensively traveling together.Their art, which was donated toDixie State’s permanent collec-tion by their daughter, Sue,shows the love they had for eachother.

The Sears Art Museumalso is showcasing art that re-flects how the COVID-19 pan-demic is affecting artists fromthroughout Southern Utah. Theexhibit features eight paintingsthat tell local artist StewartSeidman’s poignant story of los-ing his sister to the virus.

To accompany Seidman’sseries, Kathy Cieslewicz, direc-tor and curator of the Sears ArtMuseum, invited area artists tocreate 12-inch-by-12-inch piecesthat share their COVID-19 sto-ries. The artists became part ofthe installation when theybrought their art to be displayed.To facilitate social distancing,artists hung their own art on aset of modular walls while wear-ing masks and taking otherheightened hygiene measures.The placement of the art illus-trates a somewhat disorganized,uncontrolled pattern, just asCOVID-19 presented itself as anunwanted surprise that disjointedhumanity’s idea of normal.

“Around the world, artists

are creating art thatwill determine howwe remember theCOVID-19 pan-demic,” Cieslewiczsaid. “Here in thesouthwest corner ofUtah, artists reflectedand then record theeffects of the newnormal through art togather the collectivememory in a personalway.”

To prepare tobecome part of the artexperience, visitorsare asked to wearface coverings andsanitize their handsupon entering the building. Ad-ditionally, chairs are carefullyplaced inside taped squares tomaintain a perfect social distanc-ing around the exhibit, and nobackground music is beingplayed so viewers can hear theirown thoughts without rhythm ormelody to interrupt thoughts.

“Please make every effortto get out and see this show. Itis a beautiful example of artspeaking to our community andour common culture,” JeffJarvis, dean of DSU’s Collegeof the Arts, said. “The power ofart to express our deepestthoughts and feelings is whatbrings us back over and over togalleries and museums. What we

often overlook is the power ofart to stimulate deeper thinkingabout our culture, our world,and our community. This showwill do both, express our deep-est thoughts and feelings, andstimulate deeper thought aboutwhat we have lived throughthese past few months.”

The Sears Art MuseumGallery features six exhibitseach year. Offering a varietyof art styles from traditional tocontemporary, the gallery ex-ists for the enjoyment and edu-cation of Dixie State Univer-sity students and the commu-nity.

If I Ignore You WillYou Go Away?

When it comes to estate plan-ning, I don’t recommend thisapproach. While ignoringpotential problems may saveyou some anxiety, it simplypasses that anxiety and prob-lems on to your loved ones.

A potential client recentlysaid to me “I want to sell myproperty now because if I die

it is easier to split money thanto split property upon mydeath.” What she didn’t real-ize was that if she sold her

property prior to her deaththere would be a large capitalgain and, after the tax her es-tate paid, her beneficiarieswould receive much less. Thecost basis of real propertytransferred at death receives astep up in basis to its fair mar-ket value avoiding unnecessarycapital gains that occur if theproperty is sold prior to thedeath of the owner. By leav-

ing her property in her trustuntil she died, her propertywould receive a stepped-upbasis in value and her estatewould pay no capital gain uponher death thus leaving more forher beneficiaries. Selling theproperty prior to her deathwould result in significant un-necessary costs to her estate.

A short discussion with anexperienced estate planning at-torney can often save your ben-eficiaries un-necessary anxiety,strife, expense and delay. It willalso give you peace of mindknowing you are prepared forany potential problems whichmay arise.

Most understand the con-cept that not all things aremade equally and you get whatyou pay for. With eyeglassesit’s the same. There are starkdifferences in frame and lensquality. So what are some ofthose differences that wouldmake one pair of glasses costmore than another?

Poorer quality frames arenot hypo-allergenic and couldcause skin irritation. Certainmetal frames may corrode andturn green. Quality frames havestronger screws and hinges,have more comfortable nosepads, will last longer and needfewer repairs, and will hold ad-justments better so they staystraight and properly fit.

Lenses today can bemade from a variety of plasticmaterials. Some give clearer

and reflections. Cheap coatingsare sprayed onto the lens andliterally rub off each time youclean the lenses. They aremore likely to “craze” or havea “dry dirt” appearance thatwill distort vision.

Lastly, let’s talk aboutprogressive lenses. There

have been over 9 genera-tional improvements of theselenses. When you’re offereda “cheaper” progressive lens,it’s likely an older generationlens. One of the big frustra-tions with older generationlenses is that they are harderto adapt to. These older de-signs can make you feel nau-seated and dizzy. The newerdesigns are much more com-fortable and easier to adaptto, as technology advances sodo progressive lenses. WhenI ta lk to pa t ien ts aboutprogressives I tell them, ifyou’re going to do it, then doit right, otherwise it couldcome back and bite you andleave you frustrated.

If you have questionsabout what lenses you have,or what lenses are the bestquality, feel free to ask ourdoctors or well experiencedopticians what would work thebest for you. Call 435-673-5577 to schedule your appoint-ment or go towww.SouthWestVision.com.

I get this question of late on aweekly basis. Although, we are inthe lowest interest rate market inmortgage history, client’s that areretired tend not to think there isenough advantage to them in retire-ment to refinance their mortgage.They worry about the cost of theloan versus savings and how longthey will be able to benefit from thesavings monthly. Furthermore,some client’s at this age don’t feellike they can qualify to refinance orbuy a home now that they are re-tired and only have savings and orsocial security, so they don’t botherasking if they should refinance theirmortgage.

So, let us try and make it very

By Brandon Hansen

At My Age As A Senior Is It Worth Refinancing My Mortgage?simple:

1. First, the older we are themore of an advantage it is to refi-nance our mortgage and save hun-dreds of dollars on your mortgagepayment monthly. If we can refi-nance a typical mortgage from 4%to 3% on a 30-year fixed, the typi-cal or average savings is roughly200.00 or more per month. So,when we are on fixed income that200.00 is much more important thanwhen you are younger in your earn-ing years. Second, if we lose aspouse or we lose an additional in-come, we need to be as sharp as wecan on all payments.

Secondly, we need to use themortgage to consolidate all our otherpayments and lower our total house-hold payment across the board. The

older we are the more we are goingto benefit to focus on cash flow ratherthan 20 years from now. So, themonthly cash flow is the most im-portant piece of the puzzle and noth-ing improves the monthly cash flowmore than using your mortgage asyour most powerful tool. So, wetake all our credit cards, and all out-side debts and use the mortgage toretire all debts. If we can eliminate10,000 in credit card amounts, thepayment monthly is roughly about400.00 per month. So, if we cantake 10,000 and add it to the mort-gage it only is a payment of about45.00 per month.

The downside is that whenwe pass the kids will have a mort-gage to pay off. Does it matter?Does it matter if the kids owe 50,000

on the home or 70,000 on the homewhen they inherit the home in thefuture. Once they split the equitythat extra 20,000 split four ways, isnot going to make a difference, butit saved over 400.00 per month toyou and your spouse by consolidat-ing the payment into the mortgage.

As we get older, we carry a30-year fixed Mortgage and we rollall our debt we can into the mort-gage long term. That will increaseyour cash flow monthly more thanany other investment tool or ideaperiod.

2. Will I qualify with only mysocial security and my savings torefinance my mortgage or buy ahome?

Please understand that you area better risk and therefore a better

loan than a younger person that hasonly been working for a year andwe hope in this crazy world that heor she keeps their job. Because youhave strong credit and a good credithistory, we (Cherry Creek Mort-gage) rely on your savings as well asyour social to approve the loan. Ourasset depletions models incorporateyour savings when most banks willnot be able to use the savings to countfor income.

As we get older, you will ben-efit more from refinancing the mort-gage by improving your monthlycash flow, and you most likely willbe able to qualify if you use a bankor lender that specializes in workingwith seniors and has senior programsto accommodate those loans. But,please watch your closing fees andkeep them at a minimum while maxi-mizing your savings monthly. Untilnext time, Brandon 435-525-2222.

A married couple in theirearly 60s was out celebratingtheir 35th wedding anniversaryin a quiet, romantic little res-taurant. Suddenly, a tiny yetbeautiful fairy appeared ontheir table and said, “For beingsuch an exemplary marriedcouple and for being faithful toeach other for all this time, Iwill grant you each a wish.””Ooh, I want to travel aroundthe world with my darling hus-band,” said the wife. The fairymoved her magic wand andsuddenly two tickets for a de-luxe cruise on a luxury linerappeared in her hands.Now it was the husband’s turn.He thought for a moment andsaid: “Well, this is all very ro-mantic, but an opportunity likethis only occurs once in a life-time so, I’m sorry my love, butmy wish is to have a wife thirtyyears younger than me”.The wife, and the fairy, weredeeply disappointed but a wishis a wish. So, once again, thefairy moved her magic wandand the husband became 92-years-old Moral — Men mightbe ungrateful idiots but fairiesare women!

Concurrent Enrollmentthrough Dixie State University al-lows high schoolers to get a jumpstart on their college education bytaking dual courses, and more than2,500 local students are takingadvantage of this opportunity eachyear.

Under the leadership ofDSU’s Director of Current Enroll-ment Kevin Simmons, enrollmenthas increased by 200% since2015, providing thousands ofSouthern Utah students with aunique college experience whilestill in high school. Twenty localhigh schools participate in DSU’sConcurrent Enrollment includingDesert Hills, Dixie, Pine View,Crimson Cliffs, Hurricane, SnowCanyon, Kanab and others.

“Taking Concurrent Enroll-ment courses has multiple advan-tages,” Simmons said. “Studentscan fulfill college and high schoolgraduation requirements simulta-neously and at an affordableprice.” Students can take collegecourses for $5 per credit throughConcurrent Enrollment. This re-duced tuition is made possible byfunding from the Utah State Leg-islature.

Concurrent Enrollment reg-istration is currently open, allow-ing eligible students to sign up forcollege classes as early as theirfreshman year of high school.Classes can be taken on the highschool campus, the Dixie StateUniversity campus or online if theclass is offered. To participate,students must have a 3.0 GPA and

“I saw it as a great opportu-nity to start getting college creditswhile still in high school,” saidCameron Holdaway, a senior atDixie High School who took Con-current Enrollment courses lastsemester and is enrolled in morethis fall semester. “It is not moreof a workload, just more learn-ing.”

Students have the option toget various certificates throughConcurrent Enrollment courses,the most beneficial being the Gen-eral Education Certificate. Stu-dents can earn this certificate bycompleting all of their general edu-cation requirements, which is theequivalent of one year in college.With this certificate, students cantransfer the credits they earn to

any of the institutions in the UtahSystem of Higher Education.

Brittany Liman-Zepeda, arecent graduate from Pine ViewHigh School, is one of the stu-dents who completed the GeneralEducation Certificate and is goingto continue her education at DixieState University.

“Taking classes through Con-current Enrollment was a lot cheaperand I am already about halfway tomy bachelor’s degree,” said Liman-Zepeda. “I won’t owe as muchmoney as a peer who didn’t takeany Concurrent Enrollment courses,and my parents really appreciate thatI took this path.”

Some of the terms and ac-ronyms people use when theytalk about Social Security canbe a little confusing. We’re hereto help you understand all youneed to know.

We strive to explain yourbenefits using easy-to-under-stand, plain language. The PlainWriting Act of 2010 requires fed-eral agencies to communicateclearly in a way”the public canunderstand and use.” This canbe particularly challenging whentalking about complicated pro-grams like Social Security,

Social Security InPlain Language

Supplemental Security Income,and Medicare. If there’s a tech-nical term or acronym that you

don’t know, youcan easily find themeaning in ouronline glossary atw w w. s s a . g o v /agency/glossary.

Everyone uses shorter ver-sions of words nowadays. Wedo too. Social Security’s acro-nyms function as shorthand inconversations about our pro-grams and services. If you’renearing retirement, you maywant to know what PIA (pri-mary insurance amount), FRA(full retirement age), and DRCs(delayed retirement credits)mean. These terms describeyour benefit amount — basedon when you decide to take it.If you take your retirement ben-efit at FRA, you’ll receive the

full PIA (amount payable for aretired worker who starts ben-efits at full retirement age). So,FRA is an age and PIA is anamount.

Once you receive benefits,you get a COLA most years. ACOLA is a Cost-of-Living Ad-justment, and that will usuallymean a little extra money in yourmonthly benefit.

What about DRCs? De-layed retirement credits are theincremental increases added tothe PIA if you delay taking re-tirement benefits beyond yourfull retirement age. If you waitto begin benefits beyond FRA

— say, at age 68 or even 70 —your benefit increases.

If one of those terms oracronyms comes up in conver-sation, you can be the one tosupply the definition using ouronline glossary. Sometimeslearning the terminology candeepen your understanding ofhow Social Security works foryou.

Seems like never a week goesby that I don’t get an e-mail or phonecall requesting a recipe or advice ona certain recipe or ingredients in reci-pes. Probably the most requestedrecipe this time of the year is mydouble chocolate zucchini bread.This is a recipe I developed for theBread Lady. Every year for the past15 years of so, I have tried to de-velop a new Bread Lady breadrecipe. This is definitely one of myfavorite “sweet” breads. Because Iuse zucchini and dark chocolate inthe recipe I think it is healthy! Wish-ful thinking, right? This bread ismoist, dense and super chocolate-y.When my children were young, theynever guessed there was zucchini inthis bread. Because zucchini is soabundant and grows so well here, Ilike shredding the unpeeled zucchiniand freezing it so that when I wantto make this bread in the winter-time, I don’t have to spend a lot of

Yum-It’s Double Chocolate ZucchiniBread money on an “out of season” veg-

etable. One raw zucchini, including

skin, boasts 56% of your daily rec-ommended value of vitamin C. Italso contains vitamin K, riboflavin,vitamin B-6, and foliate among othervitamins in lesser quantities. If Iwant my bread to be a fancy des-sert, I like to frost it with abuttercream frosting. Otherwise, Ijust sprinkle extra dark chocolatechips on top of the batter before bak-ing it in the oven. So, for those ofyou who have requested this BreadLady recipe, here you go!

Double Chocolate ZucchiniBread

2 eggs1/3 cup honey½ cup canola oil½ cup brown sugar1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon salt½ teaspoon baking soda½ teaspoon baking powder½ teaspoon ground cinnamon1/3 cup cocoa powder1 2/3 cups flour (can use half

white and half whole wheat or allpurpose)

2 cups shredded, unpeeledzucchini

1 cup dark chocolate chips,plus extra if scattering on top

Prepare the zucchini by seed-ing it and then shredding meat andskin. Let sit in bowl while preparingthe batter. After zucchini has set fora bit, place it in a strainer and usingyour hands push the excess waterout of the zucchini until it is fairlydry. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.Generously spray a loaf pan withvegetable spray. In a mixing bowl,beat the eggs, honey, oil, sugar andvanilla until smooth. Add the salt,baking soda, baking powder, cinna-mon, cocoa and flour, mixing untilwell incorporated. Stir in the drainedzucchini and dark chocolate chips.Pour into loaf pan. Sprinkle morechocolate chips of top on batter, ifdesired. Bake for 35-45 minutes oruntil a toothpick inserted into the cen-

ter comes out clean. When baked,let cool for 10-15 minutes before

turning out onto rack. Frost withbuttercream icing if desired.

It is typical for peoplewhen they open theirAncestry.com website to startsearching from the generalsearch bar on the start page.You will quickly see whatrecords Ancestry has for yourancestor, but you need to beaware, though, that this willonly locate about 10% of therecords Ancestry has availableon this ancestor. When you usethe general search form, An-cestry sends out a search teamand searches billions ofrecords for your ancestor. An-cestry then gives you resultsthat even have a slight chanceof matching, and that resultsin pages and pages of results—a big-time waster. Instead, get-ting in the habit of starting atthe Card Catalog (in the menuunder Search) will help youbecome an Ancestry.compower-user.

The Card Catalog is notfor locating ancestors. It is forfinding collections that maycontain information on yourancestors. The Card Catalognarrows down your search tothe most relevant collectionsthat include the informationyou need for that specific an-cestor.

In the Card Catalog, thecategory Maps, Atlases & Gaz-etteers have 195 record collec-tions in its category. When youopen this category, you cansearch by title or keyword(s)and by location. When you

use the title search, you maymiss record collections if youdo not have the title accurate.By filtering this category bylocation such as USA, the hitsgo from 195 to 79. Muchmore manageable to search.Each record collection hassearch tips at the bottom ofthe search page that is ex-tremely helpful.

A fun collection tosearch through in this categoryis the “Historic Land Owner-ship and Reference Atlases,1507-2000.” You may find theland that your ancestorsowned on a map that lists thelandowners—a great find.There are significant collec-tions such as U.S., Countyand Regional Histories foundin the Stories, Memories andHistories collection, 1804-1984. Historic Postcardsfound in the Pictures Categoryhelp with social history.WWII Newsreels, located inthe Military Category, is anexcellent addition to the storyof your ancestors that servedin World War II. A nice fea-ture is the suggested collec-tions to search listed on theright side of each search page.

Take the time to famil-iarize yourself with the collec-tions Ancestry has. Learn tostart your research with thesecollections; you may find in-formation about an ancestorthat you did not even knowexisted.

Principles Of Freedom

By Lynn West

My wife and I hike downinto a canyon and along the riveralmost every day. As part of thehike, we stop by the river for afew minutes of quiet contempla-tion. The Virgin River is notknown as a place where there area lot of fish, but I decided to sitnear where the water was clearand still. I looked for fish, won-dering if there might be a few. Atfirst, I could not see anything en-couraging, but after a few min-utes, I saw movement under thewater and realized I was seeing asmall minnow as it changed di-rection. Even though it was basi-cally the same color as the riverbed, my eyes realized if I focusedon the shadows and movementrather than fish, I could see it. Asmy focus adjusted in my mind, Isaw more fish. I soon realized thatwhere I was looking, there werea dozen or more of the small min-nows. As I continued to scan thewater, I realized that many of thedarker shadows were larger fish– some as big as 6 inches long.After sitting and watching for abit, I realized that there were doz-ens of fish within my view on justthat small segment of the river. Itall came down to “learning” to seeand focusing in the right way.

I realized that how we seecurrent events, politics, spiritualconcepts and most other things inour lives is determined to a greatextent on learning to see and no-ticing or focusing on the move-ment or shadows. I also realizedthat, like the fish in the river, oncewe are “attuned” to see certain

How We See things, we can see them allaround us, even if they are cam-ouflaged or hidden.

There is a danger in learn-ing to see. Sometimes, when wenotice a problem or a wrong at-titude, we begin to see it every-where, even where it does notexist. Most of the media makesa significant effort to focus ourminds on negative things. Rac-ism, prejudice, scandal, dishon-esty, abuse and destruction allexist and should never be sup-ported or even ignored. How-ever, if we are to believe the timedevoted to these things in the 24/7 relentless examination and dis-cussion of those things, they arepervasive and what everyoneshould fear all the time. Diseasealso exists and we should all becautious and thoughtful as tohow we avoid spreading it andexposing people to it that are atrisk of serious consequences.However, if that is all the mediafocuses on, we get the idea thateveryone is going to die if wedon’t go sit in our rooms aloneand never have any connectionto others.

One the one hand, whenwe learn to focus and see, wecan realize the things that arehidden to an extent. We can seethe forces and attitudes that, likethe fish, do not want to be seen.On the other hand, if we are notcareful, that same focus can turnmyopic and make it so we onlysee those things we are lookingfor instead of seeing the big pic-ture.

I fear that we are experi-encing the second option withmany people in our society.Many of them have never ex-perienced racism personally, but

now that they have been madeaware of it, they see it every-where even though only a smallpercentage of the people in ourcountry actually have hatred andprejudice towards others. Be-cause we have seen that somepeople in our history turned ablind eye to injustice, they arenow attacking even those whoprepared the way and took cou-rageous stands to begin the pro-cess of eliminating those evilsfrom our thinking and our ac-tions. Because the novelcoronavirus was unknown andcaused severe illness and evendeath in some people, they thinkthat everyone is a carrier and thatanyone who goes out in publicis careless and indifferent to thewell-being of others. Becausethere are protests and rioting ina few small areas in a few cit-ies, they think the whole coun-try is burning.

It is my hope that we willall learn to see the big picture,see the hidden agendas of someof those fomenting the destruc-tion, see both the dangers andthe areas of clarity in our healthcrisis and most of all, see thatthe largest percentage of our citi-zens are good, thoughtful, kindand unwilling to be destructiveor dangerous to others, evenwhen that comes at personalcost or sacrifice. As a people,we are still mostly a good people.Let’s focus on that and see it,really see it.
