Show B6 The Emery County Review, Tuesday, November 11, 2008 Jeffs Enjoys an Office in the Desert Continued from Page B1. Just incredible,” Jeffs said. According to Jeffs, what he has learned about people out on the Swell is that people are much the same, no matter where they call home or what their status in life might be. “Stories are the same everywhere,” he said with a smile. He realizes that many people come to the desert for the solitude, and when camping on the desert he knows that the last thing many people want to see is someone from law enforcement, but he has a way of breaking the ice. “A lot of the time I will pull up and campers will be thinking oh, no, what’s a cop doing out here, but I normally pull in Crossword and say ‘what’s for dinner,’” he said with a laugh. It is the people he meets while patrolling the desert that Jeffs admits he will miss when he retires. That day is swiftly approaching. Jeffs will patrol the desert for the last time as a deputy for the Emery County Sheriff’s Office on Nov. 15. Then he will retire and pursue other things and other interests. But even though he won’t be in uniform, he will still be found on the desert. Only it is more likely to be on horseback, herding his cattle, or just enjoying the view of a desert he loves. “Every time I’m out here I see something different. From here you can see forever,” Jeffs said. From behind the wheel of his truck his eyes glance out to the horizon and he smiles. “I love the desert.” Out ‘n’ About From Page B2.

The most lucrative answer is also the one that makes you feel creative and empowered. Romance has you dancing through summer. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re full throttle through the early week, and then Thursday you’re forced to slam on the breaks to avoid a roadblock. You can and will overcome this obstacle. After all, you invented it. And though you may not remember quite how you built it, take a few swings at it and all will start to crumble. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re slightly self-conscious early in the week, though there’s little you can do to change the opinions of others. If you try to be charming, the other person senses it and the effect is lost. Remember, your charm is a natural gift and you needn’t do a thing except let it shine. Enjoy yourself and others will, too. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s powerful to dream of the future and all you’ll have and be five years from now. However, it’s important to act in the present. Don’t wait for your accomplishments to accumulate to feel confident. Be excited right now about who you are and what you’ve done, and you’ll attract more on a bigger scale. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s nice to be needed, and the people around you require something that only you can provide. You don’t have the luxury of waiting around until you become inspired to give. You give when you don’t feel like it. You give even when you think you don’t have anything left. What’s needed magically appears. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There are times when you feel that no one notices all that you do. The saving grace is that you’re really not working to get attention.

The trick of good timing is threefold: First, do everything in your power to honor your timely commitments. Second, leave yourself a margin of error. Third, and most important of all, believe with your whole heart and soul that no matter what happens you are always in the perfect place at the perfect time. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Consider that maybe nothing is really difficult in life, just unfamiliar. When you know how to do it better, it’s easy. This week you will be stepping into the unfamiliar and getting to know it, one lesson at a time. Put in the work. The real skill is practicing. When you understand how to practice, the world is your oyster. (Holiday Mathis is the author of “Rock Your Stars.” Copyright 2008 Creators Syndicate Inc.)
