Show Page 7 DECEMBER 14,2006 THE GARFIELD COUNTY INSIDER It Makes Sense. By Veda Hale GARFIELD COUNTY DIRECTORY OF SERVICES E kHCUC In our what-used-to-be somewhat isolated communities of Southern Utah, we no longer have to be cut off from opportunities to get educated in the fields that are the most likely to assure a good-paying job. There is the internet. It really isn't that hard to come by anymore. With a little effort almost anyone can "get connected", even if on a borrowed computer. I feel sure that, should anyone express the desire to get connected, there are those willing to help. So many computers still working are set aside so the owner can upgrade-computers with the ability to hook one up to a collage offering an on line degree. These are the five areas that CNN claims offer the best career opportunities and where there are courses to be had on the net: 1. Healthcare-sales and marketing along with things like nursing and physical therapy. 2. Accounting. Here is a job that one might do and stay in a little town by reaching into a bigger and making arrangements to be emailed or faxed the records that would be needed to do the work. 3. Legal careers. Paralegals are needed to ORIGINALS AND PRINTS search and prepare briefs, much of that can winter hours be done through the net. And then there are open upon request arbitrators to try to settle disputes before they reach the lawyers. 63 N. Main, Panguitch 4. Technology Careers. This seems to be an 435-676-2895 area that is changing so fast that those needed Vedahale@yahoo.com to implement the new ideas are many. Some of that work could be done from a distance. "" " 5. Manufacturing. This would be where creative problem solving is used. With the competition in the world market to keep pace, we need to build smarter and better.

Garfield Businesses, & Entities: We are starting on year # 3 of the Garfield County directory of services that are placed in over 650 of the motel rooms throughout Garfield County extending from one end of the county to the other. This potentially presents your business to about 150,000 people each year. We have had many success stories from businesses. Some of the tourists are driving all the way across the county to visit business they have seen in the directory. We made the commitment to place these in all the motels willing to participate, and we completed the majority of the 2006 project in April. We are currently preparing to update these directories for new businesses that would like to jump on board, and designing new advertisements for businesses that would like any changes. The directory helps those traveling through our area to know what services are available. This project meets the following needs: 1) Those who visit our area, look for services available, (i.e. What to do, where to eat, where to go.) Many times, due to the lack of knowing where these services are or how to find them... they become unaccomodated, and travel right through the area. 2) This will allow businesses, located on the main route, and business that aren't on the main route, to have access to being seen. 3) Create an avenue for larger attendance to seasonal events. This project is supported by both the Garfield Travel Council, and the Garfield County Commissioners, as well as over fifty business owners. We thank them for their support of this project. As a bonus, we will be spotlighting one of these businesses each week in The Garfield County INSIDER to show our appreciation for their support. If you would like to participate or would just like more information, please call us at 435-676-2621. We will come out and consult with you, and take pictures for your color advertisement.
