MP city receives UAMPS award SALT LAKE CITY—Mt. Pleasant City Power Department was recently honored with a System Improvement Award during the annual meeting of Utah Associaterd Power Systems (UAMPS) in Salt Lake City. The System Improvement Award recognizes UAMPS member utilities for undertaking system upgrades, capital improvements and preventive maintenance measures to modernize facilities, improve system reliability, reduce losses, reduce outage times or improve power quality. Mayor Dan Anderson and Power Superintendent Shane Ward accepted the award recognizing Mt. Pleasant City’s system improvement accomplishments. Over the last year, Mt. Pleasant Power Department accomplished many goals to improve the power system and service to its customers. Emphasizing the importance of safety, quality and productivity, the department achieved goals under two key initiatives of enhancing customer communications and infrastructure improvements. The infrastructure upgrades have been focused on the Triple “I” project: Infrastructure Improvement Initiative. A major part of the Triple “I” proj-

ect has been a three-year deployment of a new Landis Gyr powerline carrier metering system known as the PLX (Powerline Express). In the last year, Mt. Pleasant Power accomplished its goal of installing over 2200 meters using the new system. The new metering system provides many benefits, such as: 15 minute read intervals, outage detection, and service disconnect and load limiting capabilities. By installing the new system, the power department has prevented the loss of thousands of dollars in revenue and has cut the delinquent billing accounts in half. The department has also reduced the time required during delinquent shutoff from two days down to one hour, a major savings of staff time. Another goal achieved during the last year under Triple “I”, is construction of a one-mile stretch of 46KV transmission line feeding from the new switch yard to the new ConToy Substation with the assistance of Manti, Ephraim, Fairview and Spring City. Mt. Pleasant City Power will continue to provide safe, clean and reliable power to Mt. Pleasant citizens under the Triple “I” project. Presentations and speeches at the UAMPS meeting focused on accomplishments, challenges facing public power, including new technologies and regulatory issues; and continued investigation of a small modular nuclear reactor energy project.

Supplying the Roadkill Café MERRILL OGDEN
I remember a report a few years ago about the Chinese Restaurant, which was closed after a road-killed deer was found in its kitchen. This was in Kentucky. The deer was evidently dragged into the café in a garbage can and someone was mopping up the blood trail behind it. Evidently some people eating at the place saw the entry of the “meat suppliers” and made a phone call. As it turned out the owner’s son was the one who had brought in the deer and just intended to clean and process it in the café’s kitchen. He didn’t see anything wrong with that. The report was that the deer was only meant to be for family use and not as product for the customers. Okayyy. I’ve been known to hit an animal or two (or more) over the years on the highway. It’s that time of year – the time of year when Sanpete’s highways and byways become the “wholesale supplier” for the Roadkill Café. I know that animals are on our roads all year long; but as the weather gets colder, we often see more and bigger animals on the road. A few days ago, a friend told me about being on the road when another vehicle hit an elk here in Sanpete. The people were pretty much okay, but the Honda Civic wasn’t. My friend gave the people a ride into town. I’ve seen quite a few dead animals on the road recently. It has reminded me of a night a few years back. In the space of a half hour on Highway 89, I ran over a skunk, clunked into what I believe was a huge hawk, and then narrowly missed hitting a big ol’ kitty cat (not a mountain lion, but a feral cat out hunting in the night in the middle of nowhere). I wasn’t going overly fast and I was wide-awake. The animals were just in the wrong place at the right time. They zigged when they should have zagged. In the split second reaction time I had when I saw these critters, I didn’t do much zigging or zagging. Many of you, like me, have hit skunks before – dead or alive; and have had to deal with the car stinking up the neighborhood for days before the offensive odor finally subsides. It’s not a pleasant experience and it happens
Marvin Kinsel, Chester, was arrested in Sanpete County by the Sanpete County Sheriff ’s Office on charges of DUI with two or more priors within 10 years, failure to stop at officer’s signal, open container, destructive or injurious littering, revoked, suspended, or denied driver’s license; alcohol restricted and speeding. Bail was set at $12,740. Wailond Alexander Lewis, Ephraim, was arrested in Ephraim by the Ephraim Police Department on charges of intoxication and disorderly conduct. Bail was set at $370. Michael Lee Stoy, Fairview, was arrested in Mt. Pleasant by the Mt. Pleasant Police Department on charges of alcohol
to me every couple of years it seems. I haven’t hit one in a while. The last encounter in a skunk episode was when I rescued a friend who had dogs out for a run in the night. Those dogs had an interchange of some sort with a skunk. I drove out in my old beater pickup to haul the dogs home in order to spare my friend’s car. I was lucky with that hawk hit. That could have easily resulted in a broken windshield. But it didn’t. I turned the car around and attempted to find the victim. I was really curious to find out what kind of big bird it was out in the night like that. I couldn’t find anything. I felt badly; but like the skunk hit, there was no reaction time. The bird came out of nowhere. By the time I saw that cat out there on Highway 89, I was a little jittery. I had a moment of time to react, and I slowed down as quickly as I could. But I knew how unpredictable a cat can be in these situations. Sometimes they don’t run in a logical direction. That’s what happened here. The cat started running toward the side of the road and then immediately changed her mind (female attribute – I’m thinking) and that’s when we had our close call. Whew! I was so sure that I was going to go three-for-three on the road kill count. I was relieved when it didn’t happen. The other lucky thing for me that night was that none of my “run-ins” were with Sanpete’s big animals. Deer and elk are obviously the ones we think of most. We occasionally have cows out grazing on the side of the road. And Sanpete has had its share of problems with horses and mules on the road over the years. So – watch out. Keep on guard as you motor up and down Sanpete’s thoroughfares this winter. Speed is always a factor. I used to take rides with a local wildlife officer and I noticed that he was an extremely slow driver at night. If there really were a Roadkill Café in Sanpete, there would be plenty of product for the menu. Try not to be the one who supplies the Rack of Raccoon, Smear of Deer, Chunk of Skunk, or Centerline Bovine. I’m going to try to steer clear myself – even though the odds may be against me.
restricted, speeding and two headlights required. Bail was set at $1,590. Neemia Tauai, Ephraim, was arrested in Ephraim by the Ephraim Police Department on charges of false personal identification to police, no insurance, criminal trespass and an Ephraim Justice Court Warrant. Bail was set at $2,530. Jan. 6 David Reese Johnson, Fairview, was arrested in Fairview by the UHP on charges of DUI and leaving the scene of an accident. Bail was set at $1,960. Kelly Jean Seely, Manti, was arrested in Ephraim by the Ephraim Police Department on the charge of DUI. Bail was set at $1,460.

Total moon eclipse occurs Jan. 20 SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Astronomy Club is alerting residents that on the night of Sunday, Jan. 20, Utahns will have a chance to observe a rare and beautiful phenomenon, a total eclipse of the Moon – that is, if clouds don’t interfere. Visible throughout North and South America, it will be the only complete lunar eclipse for this region until May 26, 2021, when – NASA calculates — the Moon will be barely above the horizon and not in a good position for viewing. On Jan. 20 and extending to a little past midnight, all phases of the event will happen with the moon high enough to be seen clearly. At the greatest point of totality this month, the Moon will be at 70 degrees above the horizon. Eclipses of the Moon happen only when the Moon is full, and then only during an alignment of the Moon, Earth and Sun. During the eclipse the Earth’s shadow will move slowly across the face of our natural satellite, much of which likely will look red because of reflections from the sunsets and sunrises on Earth. Adding to the excitement, Luna will be larger than usual because it will be a “Super Moon” when it’s closest to Earth. Seth Jarvis, director of Clark Planetarium in Salt Lake City, points that this closeness isn’t unusual, in that three “Super Moons” will happen this year. “At about 7:40 p.m. (MST) the Moon’s orbit will carry it into the ‘penumbral’ shadow of Earth,” Jarvis said in a written note to the Utah Astronomy Club. “That’s a portion of our shadow, not all of it, and it’ll have the effect of slightly dimming the Full Moon. That’s a tricky thing to see and relatively few people will notice the change. “By around 8:35 p.m. the Moon will begin to pass through Earth’s umbral shadow. That’s a region where the only sunlight falling onto the Moon is whatever leaks through our atmosphere and is bent by an optical phenomenon known as diffraction through our atmosphere. An honest way to describe this is to note that the only sunlight falling onto the Moon is the sum total of all the Earth’s sunrises and sunsets.” The deepest part of the eclipse happens about 10 p.m.,

ROMOLO TAVANI
A total eclipse of the moon may be seen Sunday night, Jan. 20 beginning about 7:30 p.m. But the deepest part of the eclipse will occur around 10 p.m., according to the Utah Astronomy Club. he said, but because the Moon’s northern section will be close to the border of the penumbral shadow, a quarter of the Moon will shine at a light gray while the rest will be dark red, he added. The total phase ends about 10:50 p.m. From then on the shadow gradually slides away. Jarvis adds, “A small telescope or good pair of binoculars will enhance your viewing, but they’re not really necessary.” An unusual aspect of lunar totality is that often stars can be seen close to the Moon. During other times the moonlight is so bright that it washes out the area around it, rendering stars invisible. For those wishing to enjoy the scene from an observatory
equipped with telescopes and astronomy experts, the University of Utah Department of Physics and Astronomy is hosting a lunar eclipse viewing session from 7 p.m., Sunday, Jan. 20 until 1 a.m., Monday, Jan. 21. The action will take place at the department’s South Physics Observatory, atop the South Physics Building, 115 S. 1400 East, Salt Lake City, says observatory director Paul Ricketts. For directions and parking information, check the observatory’s directions page at https:// observatory.astro.utah.edu/directions.html. Ricketts said the number of people allowed on the rooftop is limited, so ground stations also will be set up where visitors can view and learn about the eclipse.

Lady Hawks basketball loses one, wins big against Grand WA sports update JORI TURPIN
The Pyramid
MT. PLEASANT — North Sanpete High School Lady Hawks basketball team hosted both San Juan and Grand High Schools Jan. 4 and 5, in a twoday region matchup which featured a tough loss and a great win. San Juan Broncos The Lady Hawks faced their toughest region competition Jan. 4 hosting the San Juan Broncos. North Sanpete struggled the first half of the game as they were unable to match the Broncos offense. In the first half, the Lady Hawks were only able to score eight points total as they struggled to take care of the ball, causing several turnovers eliminating their offensive opportunities. As a result, the Broncos were given several offensive opportunities and scored 34 points in the first half. After half time, the Lady Hawks came out stronger as they started to take care of the ball and made better offensive decisions. It was apparent that Coach Taylor Christensen had spoken with her team about
moving the ball and taking care of it when the Hawks had possession. The Lady Hawks began to capitalize on their offense and stayed in close range to the Broncos in scoring during the second half. During the third quarter the Broncos scored 19 while the Hawks scored 11. In the fourth quarter, the Hawks outscored the Broncos 15 — 8, but the deficit was too large to overcome. The Lady Hawks had multiple opportunities during the second half of the game at the free throw line to eliminate the commanding Broncos lead, however, the Hawks made a measly eight-of-20 freethrows which contributed to the overall momentum of the game. The final score was Hawks 34, Broncos 61. Grand Red Devils Then, on the afternoon of Jan. 5, the Lady Hawks played their second region match against the Grand High School Red Devils. During the first quarter, both teams were equally matched as each team battled for points. Grand scored six points the first quarter and the Hawks
uted to the second quarter as every team player on the floor scored. Opposed to the night before against San Juan, during this contest against the Broncos the Hawks were patient with their offense, eliminating turnovers and creating opportunities to score. After the half, the Lady Hawks momentum carried into the rest of the game, and spectators could see that the Devil’s had been shaken from the events of the second quarter as their team just couldn’t get any momentum back. The scoring during the second half was close, with Grand scoring 20 points and the Hawks scoring 24, but what transpired in the second quarter seemed to have shut down the Devil’s as they struggled to work as a team to close the gap against the North Sanpete Lady Hawks. Overall, North Sanpete seniors, Linzy Flinders, Aubree Ison and Tiffany Peckham contributed outstanding numbers with Flinders scoring 16 points, Ison 17, and Peckham 16. The final score was Lady Hawks 50, Red Devils 30.
North Sanpete High School seniors, Aubree Ison and Linzy Flinders, defend the Broncos hoop on Jan. 4. The Lady Hawks faced a large defeat that night against the San Juan Broncos, but quickly turned around and delivered a large victory the next day, Jan. 5, against the Grand Red Devils. (Photo by Jori Turpin) scored 11, all of which were put in by senior Linzy Flinders. However, during the second quarter the Lady Hawks ex-
ploded by scoring a whopping 28 points, compared to only four by Grand. All of the Lady Hawks team members contrib-
MT. PLEASANT — Recent news about Wasatch Academy (WA) sports include the following: Girls’ Varsity Basketball The Lady Tigers began the season on the road against the #1 state ranked team from Beaver High School. They were outmatched that day and lost by nine points but have been on a winning streak since then. The team recovered by beating North Sevier at home then followed up with two impressive wins over fifth ranked Enterprise and Parowan at the Central Utah Basketball Preview. The team had a break for the holidays and resumed play at home on Jan. 8. Results not available at press time. Boys’ Orange/Black Bball The USSA Boys’ Varsity Orange/Black Basketball team began the season with a big win over East Hollywood High School. The next two games were tough losses against Layton Christian and Terra Academy who are tied for the #1 ranking in the USSA. The team played a home doubleheader on Jan. 9 against American Heritage of South Jordan and Spectrum Academy of North Salt Lake. Results not available at press time. Swim team The swim team has passed mid-season and are having a successful year. The team is led by veteran returners Clista Galecki, Emanuel Flores, Jake Quackenbush, Zane Rasmussen, and Sam Wood. Newcomers Charles Huang, Gen Jones, Keeler Evans, and Brian Lyu have contributed to the success of the team with their skills and great work ethic. Clista, Emanuel, Charles, and Gen are currently ranked in the top 20 for the Utah 2A/3A divisions. The swim team competed Jan. 8 while hosting a meet at the Mt. Pleasant Aquatic Center.

WA boys’ varsity basketball team is undefeated on season MT. PLEASANT — With a consensus top 10 national ranking, the Wasatch Academy Tigers are humming with 12 straight wins and a recent trip to Niceville, FL; for the Emerald Coast 16. Since Wasatch does not compete for a Utah state championship, the ultimate goal is the GEICO Nationals in New
York. Wasatch’s new Coach David Evans took nationally ranked Lone Peak, of Highland, to the Geico tournament last year and is determined to take the Tigers there this year. The nationally tinged schedule takes the Tigers to Nebraska, Florida, California, Nevada, and Maryland for high-powered games.
The team is the #1 ranked team in the State of Utah, #12 in the Nation on the MaxPreps Xcellent Writers Poll, and #11 in the USA Today Super 25 Expert rankings. Interested persons can follow the Wasatch varsity basketball games and news online at https://www.gowasatch. com.
Nguyen ties for first place at U.S. Chess Federation Tournament MT. PLEASANT — Wasatch Academy Senior Nguyen Le recently competed at the U.S. Chess Federation tournament at the University of Utah, in the Warnock Engineering Building, Logan. As the 2017 Utah State Blitz chess champion, Nguyen approached the tournament calm and ready to take home another win. Playing in Class X (for those in the USCF with a rating of 2,000 or higher) Nguyen won three-out-of-the-four intense games positioning him
for a three-way tie amongst two other chess elites: Vinh Tran and Bryan Leano. Nguyen is currently ranked fourth out of 659 Utah state chess players. Armed with an early acceptance to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Nguyen is more than just an advanced chess player. He is also an incredible mathematician always looking to solve the next challenge. Nguyen suggests to anyone interested in competing in chess to “just start playing, relax and enjoy the game.”

MT. PLEASANT — The year 2017 marked the 100th anniversary of the Mt. Pleasant Public Library. As part of that celebration, library staff members were curious as to the initials “G.H.J.” on oneof-two horse sculptures visible from the main desk, but had little success in finding the information. A few months ago Kaye Watson walked into the library, which she has visited hundreds of times since moving to Spring City. Her objective was to confirm that the sculptures were still there. But, she quickly became aware of the swirling mystery surrounding the “G.H.J.” dilemma and smiled to herself, knowing that she could easily solve it. About 21 years ago, Watson became fascinated by the person in question and began to collect information about him to print his biography. More and more references were found as the years marched on; however, there was no extra cash for publishing. It should be noted that the artist in question is a relative, by marriage, of Watson’s late husband, Dennis Watson. Dennis was related to the artist through his great-grandmother, Janet Jack Baxter, the mystery man’s sister. Other relatives include the Halls, Bartons, Jacks, Watsons and Baxters. So who is the mystery artist, whose initials are G.H.J.? It is Gavin Hamilton Jack. He was born in Scotland with

This statue and its partner have been on display in the Mt. Pleasant City Library for over 100 years. Somewhere along the way, the identity of the artist who created them was lost, but the mystery was recently solved by Kaye Watson, who has written the biography of G.H.J., now available at the library. (Photo by Ray LaFollette, The Pyramid) paint in his veins. He arrived in Manti, Utah, as a child, in 1869. Some people might remember visiting the Utah State Capitol Building in the 1960s or 70s and while there may have noticed the four snarling lions guarding the east and west entrances to the building. Those cement lions, created by Gavin H. Jack, were a last-minute substitute for a large Abraham Lincoln statue which was scheduled for placement in the Capitol building, but was damaged in transit. Jack was a quite well-traveled artist and thus hard for Watson to track. During his lifetime he lived in New York City, Chicago, Paris, France;
also known as CVMC, opened its doors as a small rural hospital owned by Juab County in the 1950s. CVMC has grown from a single hospital to a not-forprofit healthcare system that provides medical care to rural communities in Central Utah.

the Panama Canal Zone, Manti, Orangeville, Salt Lake City and even rural Wyoming, hence his biography’s name, “Gavin Hamilton Jack, Utah’s Wandering Artist, Sculptor and Poet.” Jack married Sarah, a concert pianist from Colombia, South America; in New York, in 1894, but details of their courtship remain a mystery. Sarah dutifully accompanied Jack in his wanderings, even to the Canal Zone, where he learned to work with cement. An internet search reveals two Panama Canal Zone panoramas at the Library of Congress site. Jack’s artistic training time in Paris was interrupted by the eruption of World War I at which time the couple

rushed back to the United States, arriving two weeks after the Panama Canal was dedicated. By the year 1917, Jack was beginning to age, but still was actively engaged in looking for new ways to earn a living and/or exhibit his talents, and always traveling around Utah. He became aware of the new Carnegie Library which was dedicated that same year in Mt. Pleasant and wanted to contribute the noted horses. A tiny reference printed in The Pyramid described his creations for the library, which led Watson to her library visit while finishing up details prior to publication of Gavin H. Jack’s biography. There are several of Jack’s artistic projects exhibited in Manti, the remnants of his gifts to that city and his wish to be “remembered in his home state.” Many of his creations have disappeared from view since his death in 1938. Unfortunately, Jack left no descendants to carry on his memory, which was part of Watson’s inspiration for Jack’s biography. The public is encouraged to spend some time during their next visit in the Mt. Pleasant City Library, to take a look at the two sculptures, because their creator is no longer a mystery. Persons interested in reading the biography of Gavin Hamilton Jack will find that it is now available at the Mt. Pleasant Library, 24 East Main.

Man charged in sex assault at fire camp agrees to plea deal ASSOCIATED PRESS
SALT LAKE CITY — An Idaho inmate accused of sexually assaulting a woman after he was sent to work at a wildfire base camp in Indianola, Utah; has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor sexual battery. The woman approved the plea deal so she could avoid having to testify in the case, prosecutor Kevin Daniels said Dec. 24. “After speaking with her and her family, she felt this would hold him accountable to a certain degree while not requiring her to testify,” Daniels said. Ruben Hernandez, 28, was charged with felony rape in Utah after the woman reported that he assaulted her on Aug. 29 when she rejected his advances in a remote area about 80 miles south of Salt Lake City. He was part of a program in which low-level offenders nearing parole are temporarily released to help cook and clean at wildfire base camps supervised by two Idaho correctional officers. Defense attorney Richard Gale said the plea deal is fair and reflects Hernandez’s level of culpability. “We wish the best for the victim,” Gale said. Hernandez could face up to a year in jail when he is sentenced.
Ruben Hernandez, accused of sexually assaulting a woman while working at a wildfire base camp in Indianola, has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor sexual battery. (Sanpete County Jail via AP) Daniels said he plans to ask for the full sentence as well as restitution for therapy or medical bills. Hernandez must also serve out the remainder of his Idaho prison sentence on a drug charge. Idaho prison spokesman Jeffrey Ray said there has so far been no change to the date Hernandez is eligible for parole, May 2019, or the year when his full sentence is set to finish, 2023. An internal review of the incident concluded that officials need to do more to minimize interactions between inmates and other workers at fire camps, Ray said. That includes sending additional prison staff to supervise the inmates at the camps and have them do more frequent checks on the prisoners, he said.
The review discovered that at the Utah fire the inmates’ tents were initially secluded. But as the fire grew, more tents were set up around them, he said. The inmates’ tents should have been moved again to another secluded area, the review found. Idaho pulled all its inmates back behind bars after the case was filed in August and announced they would review the way they select, train and deploy those inmates. Most states in the U.S. West have similar programs. In California, hundreds of minimum-security inmates fought on the front lines during the state’s devastating wildfire season this year. Utah ended its inmate program after men were injured a decade ago. Since the charges were filed, they have closed loopholes that allowed Idaho inmates to help at the Utah wildfire, Daniels said. Hernandez had been sent to Utah to work on the Coal Hollow Fire. Like many wildfires, it was managed by a special team of federal and state agencies, so county authorities weren’t aware that Idaho inmates were part of the force of about 200 at the time of the assault. The lightning-sparked blaze scorched about 47 square miles.
