Large crime ring uncovered by Sanpete County Sheriff’s Office MANTI — Sanpete County Sheriff’s Office has been investigating several cases over the past few months which have finally reached a conclusion. These cases were submitted to the county attorney’s office for prosecution Jan. 9. According to the official statement received from the Sanpete County Sheriff’s Office, while attempting to make contact with a wanted subject on Nov. 7, 2018, a large crimes ring was uncovered that spans many jurisdictions. On that date, Deputies Pace and Anderson, having knowledge of an outstanding warrant, attempted to make contact with Breonna Thurston at a residence north of Ephraim in Sanpete County. The deputies were able to make contact with Thurston and she was arrested on an outstanding warrant. During the apprehension, Deputy Pace noticed a large amount of ammunition and firearm accessories in the residence. Having knowledge that the owner of the residence was a known felon, a search warrant was obtained to search the home for possession of firearms by a restricted person. During this search, drug paraphernalia was found and another search warrant was obtained to locate additional drugs and contraband. While conducting the search, Sgt. Jensen observed numerous items that matched the description of items listed as stolen in a separate case being investigated by Deputy Lewis. Deputy Lewis was contacted and
With the discovery of a large crime ring operating out of Sanpete, thousands of stolen items including firearms were recovered by Sanpete County Sheriff’s Office investigators during a search of a residence north of Ephraim and two storage units located in the Gunnison area. (Photo by Sanpete County Sheriff’s Office) conferred with the victims in his case who positively identified numerous items located at the residence. Deputy Lewis then obtained an additional search warrant to locate stolen items at the residence. A subsequent warrant was obtained the following day to search two storage units located in the Gunnison area. The results of the search warrants found thousands of stolen items including two stolen firearms. One of the stolen firearms (handgun) was recovered in a vehicle at
the residence, and the other (AR15 rifle) had been sold but has since been recovered. Victims in this case span numerous jurisdictions including Sevier County, Richfield City, Salina City, Gunnison City, Ephraim City, Mt. Pleasant City, and Sanpete County. At the residence, Sean Clark was arrested and charged with obstruction of justice and has subsequently plead guilty and has been sentenced. Wyatt Clark, also at the residence, was charged with possession of controlled substance/drug para-
phernalia and has plead guilty and has been sentenced. Another adult male, Chris Brown, was arrested on a probation violation and was also charged with possession of a controlled substance. Breonna Thurston has been charged with 22 counts that include unlawful use or possession of a financial transaction card, burglary, theft, identity theft, forgery, and possession of a stolen firearm. She also had outstanding charges of DUI and possession of controlled substances in Sanpete County. Garrett Clark has been charged with 16 counts that also include unlawful use or possession of a financial transaction card, burglary, theft, identity theft, forgery, and possession of a stolen firearm. Clark also had outstanding charges of possession of a firearm by a restricted person and possession of controlled substances in the jurisdiction of Utah County. Chris Thurston was charged with four counts of burglary and theft, and is currently completing a sentence at the Sanpete County Jail on a separate conviction. To date, multiple other jurisdictions are conducting investigations that may be related to this case. In total, 10 Sanpete County Deputies were involved with the case, including the investigation and serving of search warrants. The officers are Sgt. Jensen, Sgt. Buchanan, Deputy Pace, Deputy Anderson, Deputy Lewis, Deputy Larsen, Deputy Jimenez, Deputy Powell, Deputy Rasmussen and Deputy Adams.
MP Council hears reports, gives travel approval CHERYL K. BREWER
The Pyramid
MT. PLEASANT—City council members covered various topics during the Jan. 8 regular council meeting. Snow College Planetarium extended an invitation to city employees and their families to attend a private show in the Graham Science Center. Several employees had expressed a desire to attend. Travel Travel approval was given to Shane Ward, power superintendent, Natalie Burnside and Marilu Zamudio to attend the PLX metering system training in February. The training is hands-on and Ward felt the training would
greatly benefit the office personnel too. Ward was also approved to attend a conference in Colorado Springs in April for an RP3 designation. Personnel policy upgrade Mayor Dan Anderson expressed a desire to form a committee of two council members to upgrade the personnel policy handbook. He said the last revision was done in 2012. Both Heidi Kelso and Keith Collier expressed a desire to serve. Councilman Justin Atkinson asked if the policy review can be done in parts so it’s not so overwhelming and does need legal review before adopting. Council reports Justin Atkinson said he has been working with Monte Bona on the EDA
Grant. Some survey has been completed and property corners have been done. Kevin Stallings said work is progressing on rail cars. The first one should be complete about the middle of February. Power hookup installations will be started to the rail cars this week. Keith Collier met with Matt Christensen, representative of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, concerning the library property. The city plans to pour concrete to the southwest corner of the property to alleviate flooding the library basement. Collier said the church may allow shared parking to the east of the building. Christensen said he wanted utility
easements in place and suggested getting that issue straightened out soon. Collier also said ADA accessibility at the library should be addressed again, possibly seeking a grant. Collier also suggested stuccoing the east side of the recreation center instead of painting it every year and installing hand rails inside the building. Mayor Anderson praised the public works department for snow plowing the roads. He reminded citizens that water is supposed to run off the roads to reduce potholes. Other business Shane Ward, power superintendent, also reported that Unit #3 had rocks in the turbine and would soon be back online.

Clues lead fifth grade team to culprit at SCE SPRING CITY — The upper grades at Spring City Elementary (SCE) have been playing “Clue” as part of their reading promotion this year; however, it’s not a regular Clue game. In this game, a book was ruined and the students had to find out which suspect did it, which room it was done in, and what weapon caused the damage. The following teachers were all suspects: Jelly Beans Johansen, Mango Miller, Rutabaga Rasmussen, Macaroni McVay, Taco Thomas and Artichoke Allred. The school rooms used in the game were the kitchen, gym, custodian’s office, computer lab, library, front office, principal’s office, faculty room, and the playground. The weapons which could have caused the damage were
food, scissors, dirty hands, fire, boogers, water, pets, young child and crayons. Six teams of students were tasked with solving the crime. Steps involved in discovering the culprit included reading books, writing summaries about the books and rolling dice to move playing pieces. When a team member read a book and wrote a summary, he or she got to roll a die and move their piece on the board. Once their piece arrived in one of the game rooms, then the team member could make a guess detailing who did it in that room and what weapon was used. Their turn was then over until the next class period. The fifth grade team, #1, correctly identified the culprit as Macaroni McVay who

New U.S. Postal Service rates effective Jan. 27 WASHINGTON — United States Postal Service filed notice with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) last October of requested price changes to take effect Jan. 27, 2019. Those proposed prices were approved by the PRC on Nov. 13 and issued Orders 4875 and 4876 approving the Postal Service’s planned rate adjustments for both Market Dominant products and Competitive products respectively. Rate increases for Market Dominant products must meet certain statutory and regulatory requirements, the most prominent of which is that such increases be no greater than the rate of inflation, as determined by the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers. Conversely, the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act requires, among other things, that rates for competitive products must produce sufficient revenues to

ensure they are not subsidized by Market Dominant products. The commission found that the rates for both classes of mail meet all statutory requirements and may take effect, Jan. 27, 2019, as planned. The commission also found that the planned classification changes, with the revisions set forth in Orders 4875 and 4876, are consistent with applicable law. The new rates raise mailing services product prices approximately 2.5 percent. Shipping service price increases vary by product. For example, Priority Mail Express has increased 3.9 percent and Priority Mail increased by 5.9 percent. Although mailing services price increases are based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI), shipping service prices are primarily adjusted according to market conditions. The PRC believes these new rates will keep the postal service competitive while providing the agency with needed revenue. The new prices include a 5-cent increase in the price of a First-Class Mail Forever stamp, from 50 cents to 55 cents. The single-piece additional ounce price has been reduced to 15 cents, so a 2-ounce stamped letter, such as a typical wedding invitation, will cost less to mail, decreasing from 71 cents to 70 cents. The new mailing service prices include the following: Letters (1 oz.) = 55 cents; Letters additional ounces = 15
cents; Letters (metered 1 oz.) = 50 cents; Outbound International Letters (1 oz.) = $1.15; and Domestic Postcards = 35 cents. Domestic Priority Mail Retail Flat Rate prices include: Small Flat Rate Box = $7.90; Medium Flat Rate Box = $14.35; Large Flat Rate Box = $19.95; APO/FPO Large Flat Rate Box = $18.45; Regular Flat Rate Envelope = $7.35; Legal Flat Rate Envelope = $7.65; and Padded Flat Rate Envelope = $8.00. First-Class Package Service, a lightweight expedited offering used primarily by businesses for fulfillment purposes,
has moved to zone-based pricing to better align with the cost of service and improve value based on distance. The Postal Service has some of the lowest letter mail postage rates in the industrialized world and also continues to offer a great value in shipping. Unlike some other shippers, the Postal Service does not add surcharges for fuel, residential delivery, or regular Saturday or holiday season delivery. The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products, and services to fund its operations.

Two or three weeks ago, on Christmas Day, in the afternoon, I took a bath. (I know some of you want to be smart alecks and say, “It’s about time!” Hardy, har, har) I officially called it my “Christmas Bath.” At one point, my 10-year old granddaughter knocked on the bathroom door; I think to determine if I was still alive. She later asked me why I took a Christmas bath. I gathered my wits about me – what wits I have anyway, and I replied, “Well, Christmas comes only once a year, so if I want to have a Christmas bath, this really is the only day out of the 365 days in the year that I can take a proper Christmas bath. The 10 year-old looked at me like I was nuts. Her eight-year old sister, wanting to take my side, piped up, “I agree with Grandpa.” The fact of the matter was that I had a painful kink in my neck of some kind and I thought a soak in the tub might help. As the water ran in, I poured in some muscle rejuvenating, lavender fragranced, bubble bath product and some pain relieving Epsom salts. The brand of these items was Dr. Teal’s. I did an Internet search on Dr. Teal. I wanted to find out who he or she was and how he or she came to be in the “bath business.” I was imagining that this person must be like the “Grand Poobah of Bathology.” Dr. Teal must have pioneered all the mysterious secrets of relieving kinked necks with magic formulas of minerals, oils and fragrances. Long story short – I couldn’t find one single sliver of evidence that Dr. Teal is or was a real person. I think that the people at Dr. Teal’s company just dreamed up a name to use. Strangely, and with impeccable pseudo-logic, my mind led me down this thread of thought: Teal is a type of duck. Dr. Teal is a duck. A duck quacks. Dr. Teal equals Dr. Quack. “Dr. Quack” is slang that refers to a fake doctor. Conclusion: I spent money on “snake oil” which will just make me smell like flowers at best. But, here’s the weird part. I felt like the therapy bath helped me. It might have been all in my head (rather than my neck), but I did feel like the hour or so in the bathtub helped my condition. So I made a decision. I don’t care whether webmd. com can give reports on the validity of Epsom salt baths or not. (They can’t) To me, there’s just something undeniably relaxing about a soak in the tub. Wintertime is a great time for bathing. And it can be a terrific way to warm up after walking the dog during these frigid, dark nights.

Most of us these days don’t have the time or patience for a bath. We hop into the shower. We shampoo, soap, rinse and bang – we’re done. It’s about speed and efficiency. I’ve had one other bath since Christmas. It was last Saturday after climbing, stooping, bending, reaching and crawling around on the roof removing the Christmas lights. I don’t know what got into me. I guess I decided it was a good thing to do in-between snowstorms. It’s usually closer to springtime before I climb up there to do that job. So, I added more Dr. Teal’s products to a tub of hot water and spent a good hour or more soaking as a preemptive strike against aggravated muscle aches and pains. I added more hot water as time went by. I had a bottle of drinking water, a newspaper, a book, my cell phone, my iPad and a pen and paper with me. It was relaxing, and, I choose to believe, therapeutic. I have some history with bathing. I grew up in a culture of taking baths. But it was a different culture than I live now. We had just one bathroom in the main house and it didn’t have a shower – just a bathtub. There was a shower and toilet out in the garage. I was taught that it was wasteful and expensive to fill up the tub very high with water. My mom prided herself on shallow and quick baths. In my travels after leaving home, my bath culture horizons expanded. I was in Norway in the early seventies. As a missionary, there were times when we lived in places with no access to showers or bathtubs. We went to public bathhouses. Tubs there were filled high with steaming hot water. These places were great, other than we had to be on guard because the employees were all matronly women. Those Scandinavian women, at the time, and I suppose now, weren’t always known for worrying about respecting privacy all that much in those circumstances. A few years later, I got a new perspective on the history of bathing when I visited Bath, England. Imagine that, a city actually named after bathing. The hot springs there evidently attracted the Romans. Around AD 70, they built an architecturally beautiful bathing complex. The Roman Baths are well preserved and a museum now. All this talk about bathing makes me want to make an additional New Year’s resolution. I resolve that I’ll take a bath on average of at least one bath per month in 2019. I think I can handle that resolution. Anyone else want to jump in with me on this one? Well… you know? – With me… separately.

MT. PLEASANT — Coleen Oltrogge was named, “Volunteer of the Year” by the Mt. Pleasant City Council on Jan. 8. Last year, Miss Mt. Pleasant Ally Brotherson suggested the award and asked the council to consider a person, whom they believe truly embodies volunteer spirit. It didn’t take long to make the choice. “Coleen Oltrogge was an easy decision for us. She has served our city tirelessly in many capacities for many years,” said Mt. Pleasant City Councilmember Heidi Kelso. Jim and Coleen Oltrogge moved to Mt. Pleasant from Denver, CO; in 2004, and it didn’t take long for Coleen to get busy. She ran for Mt. Pleasant City Council in 2005 and served two terms from January 2006 thru December 2013. During Oltrogge’s terms on the city council, she was responsible for many beautification efforts on Main Street and throughout the town. She freely gave of her time and decorating talents

Under Oltrogge’s direction, the city’s celebrations have always been, and continue to be spectacular events year after year. One citizen who attended Mt. Pleasant’s Annual Christmas Lights Festival last November said, “I could either stay home and watch the Hallmark Channel or I could come here and live it!” Oltrogge said long ago she had a vision of what she wanted each celebraMiss Mt.

Those who spend any time around Oltrogge also served as a library board her, will always hear Coleen say how member during the recent remodel and wonderful the local youth are. Ol-
trogge believes in them and often says they just need her for the resources, and then she gets out of their way so they can do the work. The Mt. Pleasant Youth City Council has always functioned under the direction of volunteer advisors. In the past, both Beverly Schugh and Teri Tuttle have served as advisors. When the advisor position became available, Coleen stepped right up, volunteered, and has kept the council functioning for the past 10 years. She organizes and chaperones the Youth City Council’s annual over-night trip to the legislature each year. In addition, Oltrogge also makes sure each youth that serves on the council feels valued, has an assignment, and gets thanks for doing it. “I just can’t imagine our community, our celebrations or our town without Coleen, always there, always working her heart out,” said Mt. Pleasant City Councilmember Heidi Kelso.

NSHS basketball suffers tough loss to South Sevier JORI TURPIN
The Pyramid
MT. PLEASANT — North Sanpete High School (NSHS) Hawks boys’ basketball team hosted the South Sevier Rams Jan. 9 for their third region game. South Sevier, known for their abilities to drain an outside shot, lived up to their hype as they knocked down 13 three-point baskets during the game. The Hawks, knowing that South Sevier is a strong shooting team, took measures in practice in an attempt to eliminate the Ram’s offensive opportunities; however, the Rams were able to utilize screens and patience to find an open man and capitalize on what they do best. During the first quarter, the Hawks and Rams battled as both teams drained 3-point shots and put points on the board. The quarter ended with the Rams leading 13-7. The score remained close until the second quarter when Rams player, Yates Taylor, sank three 3-point shots, with his team-mates contrib-
uting two more. The Hawks tried to keep up, making shots themselves, but the Rams outscored the Hawks, making 17 points while the Hawks only made 11. Going into half-time, the score was Rams 30, Hawks 18. During the second half of the game, the Hawks defense began to improve. During the third quarter they only allowed the Rams to make seven points, but North Sanpete couldn’t close the gap as offense struggled and they were only able to make eight points themselves. Both teams were relatively matched during the fourth quarter, as the Hawks scored 10 points and the Rams scored 13. North Sanpete just couldn’t overcome the 3-point shooting streak made by the Rams in the second quarter. The game ending score was South Sevier 50, North Sanpete 36. Hawk junior, Scott Hatch, contributed 12 of those points. The Hawks hosted Emery High School Jan. 11 for their fourth region game.

National Hugging Day set Jan. 21 No one gives a heartfelt hug like a grandmother, but these days more and more grandmas (and grandpas) are feeling alone and isolated, because they may be either widowed or do not have any relatives nearby who can help them navigate the stages of aging. So, just in time for National Hugging Day, Jan. 21, it’s time to consider sharing a warm embrace. Studies show a heartfelt hug is a great stress buster, it can help lower blood pressure, and even mitigate cold symptoms. Statistics show one-fifth of the nation’s seniors feel isolated. Perhaps it’s time to visit the home of a local senior, perhaps daily, to keep them as active as possible. Then help them with any daily tasks they may need help with. Everyone can help to reassure seniors they are not alone and there are people who care about them. Why give a hug 1.) More than one-quarter of Americans age 65 or older live alone, according to research by
the Pew Research Center. 2.) AARP launched a campaign to address the growing problem of loneliness and estimates one-in-five people older than 50 are affected by isolation that can lead to higher rates of chronic disease, depression, dementia and death. 3.) In a University of Michigan survey, more than 70 percent of older Americans polled say they feel isolated and lonely. How a hug helps 1.) Mood enhancement. Researchers with Carnegie Mellon University recently did a study that found hugs can lighten a person’s mood, even on really bad days. Most of the study’s participants said their moods would improve after getting a hug following some sort of stressful interaction. 2.) Immune system boost. A study put together by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Virginia shows that getting a hug a day could keep the doctor away.
FILIPEFRAZAO
Celebrate National Hugging Day Jan. 21 by sharing an embrace with a loved one or someone in need. Scientists looked at hugging and the probability of getting sick with a cold and they found participants who had been hugged did not suffer the same kind of symptoms as those who had not been hugged. 3.) Good for the heart. Scientists with the University of Vienna found hugging a loved one can reduce high blood pressure, a major risk factor of potentially fatal heart disease.
National Hugging Day has been around for more than 20 years. The holiday is observed on Jan. 21 in the United States, as well as many other countries and there is no age limit. So this year, take a step forward and share a warm embrace with someone who is loved or in need. But note, it’s probably a good idea to ask if it’s ok to give them a hug before doing so.
DE reminds customers to keep snow from blocking vents, covering meters SALT LAKE CITY — To ensure the safe and efficient operation of natural gas equipment, Dominion Energy (DE) reminds customers to keep snow and ice from burying exhaust and intake vents, and from piling up on natural gas meters. Natural gas appliances such as furnaces and water heaters vent combustion byproducts to the outside, and many of these appliances also get their combustion air from the outside. Some intake and exhaust vents are on the roof, but many are near ground level. Regardless, it’s important these vents are completely unobstructed by ice or snow. Clear vents will keep pilot lights burning and will allow appliances to operate safely and efficiently.
Customers are also advised to be careful when shoveling snow off driveways, sidewalks or roofs to avoid burying and possibly damaging natural gas meters. Piling snow onto a meter can damage it and/or cover the regulator vent, causing the meter to malfunction. Significant accumulation of snow on the meter should be carefully cleared away to ensure proper operation. Customers are responsible for protecting the gas meter. Also, customers should not store or lean metal objects such as wheelbarrows, ladders, trash cans, bicycles and/or gardening tools against the meter. When metal objects come in contact with the meter, it interferes with the system that protects the meter and asso-
ciated piping from corrosion. Keeping meters free from snow and other obstacles also allows for easy access to the shut-off valve in the event of an emergency. About DE More than 7 million customers in 19 states energize their homes and businesses with electricity or natural gas from Dominion Energy (DE) (NYSE: D), headquartered in Richmond, Va.
The company is committed to sustainable, reliable, affordable, and safe energy and is one of the nation’s largest producers and transporters of energy with nearly $80 billion of assets providing electric generation, transmission and distribution, as well as natural gas storage, transmission, distribution, and import/export services. As one of the nation’s leading solar operators, the company intends to reduce its carbon intensity 50 percent by 2030. Through its Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation, as well as EnergyShare and other programs, Dominion Energy plans to contribute more than $30 million to community causes throughout its footprint and beyond.

Herta L. Strate 1926 ~ 2019 PAYSON-- Herta L. Strate, 92, passed away surrounded by family at the home of her daughter in the early morning hours of Jan. 9, 2019, in Payson. Herta was a stalwart example of love and sacrifice in the family and was so loved, over 130 people visited her in the days preceding her death. She loved everyone unconditionally and they loved her in return. Herta was born April 12, 1926, to Otto Paul Ludwig and Hedwig Frieda Arlt in Lieppe, Hoyersverda, Germany. At the age of four her family immigrated to America, settling in the Salt Lake Valley. Life was hard for this immigrant family as they struggled to make ends meet. They lived in several different places due to where her father worked. As a German family living in Utah during WWII they weren't always treated very well. Herta decided at a very young, tender age that she was always going to show love to all and she always did. She married Kent Strate, her eternal sweetheart, Jan. 5, 1951, in the Salt Lake Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In their later years they served as ordinance workers in the Manti Temple for 21 years. Herta had a strong faith in her Savior, Jesus Christ and was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. During her church service, she served as president of the Primary, Young Women organization and the Relief Society. She also served as a teacher in all of those organizations. Herta taught in Primary for many years, co-teaching some of that time with her husband, Kent. She touched many lives for good. Herta also served as a visiting teacher most of her married life. When she could no longer visit her sisters in person she mailed something to them each month, sending her last visiting teaching message in December 2018. In addition to teaching, Herta worked with family history by indexing genealogy records. In the past eight years she indexed over 300,000 names. She was very supportive of her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and attended the temple with a great-grandchild in November 2018. She so loved her family. They were everything to her. Herta welcomed two Navajo children, Roger and Juanita, into her home with open arms for several years through the Lamanite Placement Program run by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Roger lived with the Strate family for three years and his sister, Juanita spent eight years there while they were going to school. Herta is survived by her children, Herta Jean (Dan) Nielson and David Kent (Janene) Strate, Ephraim; MehlRee (Lyle) Snell, Orem; LuDean (Darrell) White, Payson; Ruth Ann (Hal) Williams, Spring City; son-in-law, Alan (Lisa) Cox; her Lamanite children, Roger (Becky) Morgan, Crownpoint, New Mexico; and Juanita Morgan, Gallup, New Mexico; 43 grandchildren and 97 greatgrandchildren of whom she unconditionally loved. She was preceded in death by her husband, Kent, and her daughter, Ellen, her parents, siblings, Else Haws, Martin Ludwig, Herbert Ludwig and Otto Paul Ludwig. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m., Saturday, Jan. 19, in the Spring City Second Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 164 South Main, Spring City. Viewings will be held from 6 - 8 p.m, Friday, Jan. 18, and from 9:30 - 10:30 a.m., Saturday, prior to services at the church. Interment in the Spring City Cemetery.

GVH ANNOUNCES NEW YEAR’S BABY
From A1
Ericksen continues, “What is really cool is, many of the community professionals reinforce important life skills that we try to promote in our school, like grit, hard work, resiliency, positive attitude, excellence, importance of education and many more ideas.” “The premise behind the whole program is for each student to find a Purpose, a Plan, a Passion, and a Target by hearing from diverse local successful community professionals,” he says. Once a week, the students are invited to hear from professionals while enjoying a snack provided by the administration. Ericksen jokes that, “We (the administration) aren’t sure whether students are attending merely for the donuts, but once they enter the door they are getting a wealth of valuable information.” The program is definitely gaining traction, with student numbers ranging from 15-36 students in attendance. In addition, community members are reaching out, asking to be on the list of presenters. The series is providing great exposure to NSHS students. The Treat ’N Speak sessions will continue with this year’s sessions, using the professionals who are already scheduled, until the end of April. Professionals who would like to participate in the Treat ’N Speak program next fall should contact the main office for available dates and times.

Trail project discussed at CDRA meeting MT. PLEASANT—Monte Bona, executive director of the Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area (MPNHA), appeared before the agency on Jan. 8 to discuss a $350,000 plus trails project between Mt. Pleasant City and MPNHA. The trails project will run along the city park by the old
depot and eventually go toward Spring City. Bona stated that Sunrise Engineering is doing the design work. The proposed trail will be cement. Bona also informed the agency that the city needs to reapply as an Enterprise Zone, which gives tax incentives to local businesses who participate. The new designation will last for five years to 2023. Bona also requested proj-
ect ideas for the Community Development Building Grants (CDBG) application. Chairman Dan Anderson reported that a new distribution business has an interest in locating in the Mt. Pleasant Industrial Park. The business wants to buy four acres to build a 20,000 square foot building for now but would like to increase its size to 100,000 square feet within
five years and employ two full time and four part-time people now with additional jobs added later. The concern Anderson had was about the buffer zone between the industrial park and ConToy Arena on the west side of the old airstrip. Anderson said the business could be placed at the other end of the industrial park, but said utilities are not readily available.
