Prosecutors: Men sexually abused girls they called brides LINDSAY WHITEHEARST

Associated Press

SALT LAKE CITY (AP)— Two Utah men who believe in polygamy and doomsday had sexually abused young girls after conducting secret marriages they thought were ordained by God, prosecutors said Friday. Each man believed they were married to two girls, ages 4 through 8, one of whom was related to them, prosecutor Kevin Daniels said. The pair formed a group called Knights of the Crystal Blade and created a remote, makeshift compound from shipping containers in the southern Utah desert. John Coltharp, 33, was charged this week with child sodomy, about a month after police found four girls hidden in 50-gallon plastic water barrels and an abandoned trailer during a raid on the compound. Similar charges are coming against Samuel Shaffer, 34, Daniels said. Authorities say they are still investigating the case and the full extent of the abuse. Attorneys for the two men didn’t

John Coltharp immediately return calls seeking comment. Both were charged last month with child kidnapping and other counts following the December raid about 275 miles (440 kilometers) south of Salt Lake City. Sheriff’s deputies descended on the area with helicopters and dogs after the mother of two of the girls reported them missing, along with

two of her sons. The boys were found in the makeshift compound, but it took police another day to find the girls because Shaffer had hidden them in the barrels and trailer, authorities said. The girls were found after he was arrested and revealed their locations, police said. The children were treated for the effects of cold

and symptoms of dehydration and are said to be recovering. Shaffer and Coltharp were friends who bonded over a shared interest in arcane Mormon ideas long abandoned by the mainstream church, police have said. The child marriages took place in summer 2017, before they decamped to the desert in mid-September in preparation for an apocalypse or in hopes of gaining followers, said Daniels, deputy attorney in Sanpete County. “They were actively recruiting; they wanted to build this group up,” the prosecutor said. A man in California found their writings online and traveled to Utah to join them and was promised a child bride, according to search warrants made public this week. Police also found weapons in their compound, Daniels said. “These are extreme individuals with extreme beliefs that believe the end of the world is coming,” he said. Police “prevented those little girls from dying … or repeating a Waco-style shootout.”

Mormon church appoints 93-year-old ex-surgeon as president BY BRADY MCCOMBS

Associated Press

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The Mormon church appointed a 93-year-old former heart surgeon Tuesday as its new president, following a longstanding succession plan that aims to keep the faith on course with a minimum of upheaval. The selection of Russell M. Nelson was announced during an address broadcast from Salt Lake City to Mormons around the world. Nelson called on Mormons to stay true to their faith and “keep the covenant path.” “If you have stepped off the path, may I advise you with all the hope in my heart to please come back,” Nelson said. “Whatever your concerns, whatever your challenges, there’s a place for you in this, the Lord’s church.” The announcement came after Nelson was chosen as

the religion’s 17th president during a private meeting of the church’s Quorum of the Twelve Apostles leadership body in a temple, per church tradition that makes the longest-tenured member of the Quorum the new president. Nelson is now considered a “prophet, seer and revelator” by Mormons. Nelson succeeds Thomas S. Monson, who died Jan. 2 at age 90. Nelson announced that his two counselors will be Dallin H. Oaks, 85, and Henry B. Eyring, 84, both members of the Quorum. Eyring was also a counselor for Monson, while this marks the first time Oaks will serve as a counselor to a church president. Oaks is the next-longest tenured member of the Quorum, making him next-in-line to become the next president. Nelson is the second-oldest man to assume leadership of The Church of Jesus Christ

terests of the faith in collaboration with two top counselors and members of the Quorum, one of the faith’s top governing bodies.

Nelson’s record during his three decades in church leadership suggests he will make few changes as he upholds church teaching and seeks to draw new members. Among the challenges he faces is adapting to the increasingly global nature of the church, which was founded in 1830 in the United States and now has nearly six in 10 members living in other countries. Still, the rate of growth overall in membership has slowed in the past few decades, despite efforts to spread the faith including the lowering of the minimum age for those serving as missionaries. Nelson takes the top position amid increased scrutiny of church teaching in the internet age, which has made more information on doctrine available. Under Monson, leaders released a series of essays explaining some controversial

areas of Mormon history, including early polygamous practices and a past ban on black men in the lay clergy. The church also faces some pressure to allow greater leadership roles for women, including those who want to be admitted to the priesthood. Nelson also will have to navigate the issues raised by the LGBT rights movement. The church, at times, has expressed empathy and told members to be welcoming to LGBT people while also strictly defending opposition to same-sex marriage and all homosexual relationships. Last year, Mormon leaders partially cut ties with the Boy Scouts of America, which in 2015 ended its blanket ban on participation by openly gay adults. The LDS church, which has been the biggest sponsor of troops, said the move wasn’t Please see NELSON, Page A6

Cardboard recycling with Sanpete Pantry appreciated Dear Editor: Around Sept. 1, 2016, the Sanpete Pantry commenced recycling cardboard at its Mt. Pleasant warehouse. With a handful of participants in the north end of the valley the first load went out just before Thanksgiving 2016. Since that time many more businesses and individuals have begun participating. All the schools in north Sanpete

County, including Wasatch Academy, with the exception of Fountain Green Elementary are using the facility. At this time, it is estimated that the recycling program at the Sanpete Pantry has removed 170,000 pounds of cardboard from the landfill. It is also estimated that with more and more participation, the program will be removing between 4,000 and 6,000

pounds each week. New participants are welcome. The Sanpete Pantry greatly appreciates those participating in the recycling program and really appreciates those who are flattening as much of their cardboard as possible. Flattening and removal of non-cardboard items helps out tremendously and reduces the burden on the pantry’s all-volunteer helpers.

With the help of participants donating cardboard and pantry volunteers, revenue from recycling has exceeded $8,000 to help maintain pantry operations. The pantry appreciates all the help and asks participants to keep up the good work. Sanpete Pantry Board of Directors

Mt. Pleasant power receives improvement award RAY LAFOLLETTE

The Pyramid

MT. PLEASANT — Mt. Pleasant City Power has made several improvements and upgrades to their system and was recently recognized for that effort and awarded by Associated Municipal Power Systems (UAMPS) during their annual member meeting. Mt. Pleasant Power was recognized for its substantial electrical system improvements. The city continues moving forward with its 10-year upgrade plan adopted in 2015 called the Infrastructure Improvement Initiative. Mt. Pleasant Power has implemented two initiatives: (1) Enhancing customer communications, and (2) Infrastructure improvements. More specifically, the department is working on a major capital improvement on the west side of town and the south side of their service territory by the ConToy Arena. One component of the Infrastructure Improvement Initiative is to have a reliable, strong “tie” between substations in the case of a substation outage. In other words, if a substation goes down due to lighting, wind, animal, or other cause, then the system would “switch” that load over to another substation. Which would shorten the amount of time customers are without power.

Generally, two items are needed for that “switch”: (1) adequate substation transformer capacity, and (2) sufficient power line capacity. Currently if Substation 1 goes dark, the system has a difficult time providing power to customers at peak times. With continued load growth it may become impossible to meet future needs. To remedy this situation, a new substation was planned and construction began in late 2014 near the Mt. Pleasant ConToy Arena. The most critical piece of equipment within the substation is the transformer. A new Mobile Integrated Transportable Substation (MITS) was installed in 2017, but has not yet been energized. The MITS will be able to shed 41 percent of the load off the current substation and should provide adequate substation transformer capacity for years to come. The goal is to have the new ConToy (MITS) Substation energized by November 2018. To reach this goal, a new onemile transmission line was built from the switch yard west of Mt. Pleasant, south to the ConToy Substation, which was completed in late 2016 with the help of Ephraim, Spring City, Manti, and Fairview. It wasn’t all easy, but it was done. The Mt. Pleasant Power Department was quite busy con-

necting new customer services throughout last year, with over 30 new meters being installed. With all the upgrades and installations it has been a challenge for the department’s three journeyman lineman, an apprentice and a groundman to keep up. The plan for increasing the reliability for the southern area of the service territory has a long and extremely cautious cycle in the planning. The total estimated cost of this increase in reliability is somewhere near $2,500,000 and may take six years to complete. But Mt. Pleasant Power is not one of the large utilities which has the luxury of having a substation crew, a metering crew, a lineman crew, and a generation department. Mt. Pleasant doesn’t have those luxuries, so the department performs to their “best” in all those categories. Every dollar of investment made affects today’s and tomorrow’s customers. It is a balancing act to provide customers the reliable service they expect while also maintaining reasonable and affordable electric rates. Mt. Pleasant Power is working to implement the two main initiatives while continuing to meet the following goals: • The completion of the Metering Structure/Switch Yard

currently being built west of Mt. Pleasant. • Upgrading from the old TS1 metering system to the updated PLX Power Line Carrier System which is currently in process with only 600 meters more to change, out of 2,200 meters. • Continuing the Mt. Pleasant Power system evaluation, poles, transformers, wire, and other equipment that have all been accounted for and are now being priced out to see what the system is worth. The current estimate of the Mt. Pleasant Power system asset valuation is over $28 million. • Serving customers with great reliability. Mt. Pleasant Power Superintendent Shane Ward reminds customers that all of the projects the department embarks on will always have their customers’ best interest in mind. The projects are an effort to provide customers with affordable electricity and excellent service. Ward says the department has great administration which always has the community in mind and functions with an awesome power crew. He admits they do have differences on many issues, but with the wonderful support of the community through the 15 years he has been here, he says those issues can be worked out and the customers can continue this journey together into the future.

It’s great to be starting a new year. It’s fun to talk to people and find out what they’re planning to do this year. I’ve visited with quite a few people and it’s been kind of interesting to discover what seems to be a trend in perception of our year just completed. For some reason, many people are just glad to be done with 2017. In our nation and world, it seems like we’ve had a lot of bad things happen. On an individual level, there seems to have been a lot of health problems with some and just plain bad events with others. I’m not saying that 2017 was awful for everyone, but from what I’ve been hearing, there have been more than a few who are glad to have 2018 signal a new beginning. I think we can all hope for bigger and better things this year. Have you ever heard of the game “Bigger or Better?” Some of the teenage kids play it for church activities or for party games. It sounds like fun. It’s kind of a “distant cousin” to the traditional scavenger hunt game. The players break up into small groups and go door to door in the neighborhood. Typically they will start out with a coin, usually a quarter. When someone answers the door, they ask: “Do you have something bigger or better than this quarter that you would be willing to trade for?” Progressively, the players acquire bigger and better items as they play the game and swap each newly-acquired item. The group with the biggest and/or best item at the end of a determined time period wins the game. I’ve seen a large office desk be the winning item. (And I think the donor of the desk was happy to get it out of their garage.) The whole idea, I suppose, behind New Year’s resolutions is to make us better. (Not usually bigger – at least in the weight department) It’s common for us to attempt to become better by doing things to become healthier. The New Year is a good time to start the habit of being physically active. They say that walking is the most basic way to be active and get exercise. Kids walking from door to door playing a game like “Bigger or Better” is probably better than sitting on the couch playing “Assassin’s Creed” or whatever video game it is that they like to play. It’s peculiar what can motivate us to take walks and get exercise. This past Monday, the Martin Luther King holiday, my wife and I decided that we wanted to get 10,000 steps on our little “fitbit” devices. Strangely, a little “step counter device” seemed to be the important motivator to get us out walking. We wanted to have a change of scenery for our walking. We ended up over in Maple Canyon and hiked up the side canyon, Box Canyon, as far as we could go. When we got to

the point where using ropes was necessary, we quit. Our dog, as determined and agile as he is, has yet to learn to use ropes going up rock walls. (Yes, I’m going to blame it on the dog) After the canyon hike, we walked around the old historic Freedom Cemetery. Reading the plaques there, we learned that the founders of the small community of Freedom, near Maple Canyon, originally wanted to name the place Draper. The U.S. Postal Service wouldn’t allow that because there was already a Draper, Utah that was named after the grandfather of the Sanpete Drapers. “Freedom” had been the name of the farming area near Nauvoo, Illinois where these people had migrated from – so Freedom became the second choice name. After that cemetery visit, we still didn’t have our 10,000 steps yet. So off we went to Fountain Green. We walked around the city park, and then we went to the city cemetery. I had never been in that cemetery before. It’s big and beautiful. We did a lot of walking there and saw many interesting headstones, but we still didn’t rack up our 10,000 steps. We decided to drive to Nephi and see where we might get the last of our steps. When we arrived there, we were hungry and had supper at Lisa’s Country Kitchen. I enjoyed liver and onions (I can hear most of you saying “Yuck” at this moment) and Diane had a steak. It was our first time there, and we liked it. After supper, it was time to work on the steps again. If any of you were in Nephi Monday night and saw a guy looking like a lunatic walking up and down the aisles of the Hometown Shopko store, that was me. It was a great day of getting out and walking in some non-routine places. We enjoyed the fresh air and the change of scenery. When we went to bed, it felt good to know that our goal had been accomplished. The bad part was that at the stroke of midnight our “fitbit” devices reset to zero. Every day is a new reset for our goals. (That’s a good thing, I keep telling myself.) Nature in Sanpete in the winter is beautiful. It is so quiet and peaceful. That’s part of the beauty of Sanpete. It’s heavy on nature and light on people. We did run into a couple of parties of people in Box Canyon. We knew one of the college girls who was up there with her family. She was in that narrow, shady canyon without a coat. I was layered with outerwear, so I loaned her a jacket. Whatever it is that might motivate you to go for a walk or a hike this time of year, dress warmly. Even though it’s been a mild winter so far, temperatures can change fast, especially when the sun lowers in the west. Good luck with whatever it is that you’re striving for in 2018. I hope life is bigger and better for all of us!

Ephraim artist to exhibit in Rotating Artist’s Gallery FAIRVIEW — Professional artist, Aerin Collett, will be honored with a reception while displaying her fine art Friday, Feb. 2, from 6:30 to 8 p.m., in the newly remodeled Rotating Artists Gallery at the Fairview Museum of History and Art, 84 North 100 East. All are welcome to attend. One of her beautiful paintings will be offered in a silent auction for those interested. Collett’s fine art will be on display until Friday, March 16. Collett formerly resided in the Fairview area and now makes her home in Ephraim with her husband, Joe Bowles and their daughter, Evelyn. Collett’s education in the arts began in 1995 when she took art classes at various educational institutions including Salt Lake Community College, Ricks College, USU and BYU-Idaho. She received a bachelor of fine arts degree from the University of Utah in 2015. Collett’s professional experience is extensive. She is currently the president of the Wasatch Women’s Art Collective and has served as curator/facilitator of the University of Utah BFA exhibit.

Home improved by Sanpete Pantry reviews 2017 achievements BSA Eagle project RAY LAFOLLETTE

The Pyramid

EPHRAIM — Sanpete Pantry reviewed the past year’s events and outlook for 2018 during the first mayors and commissioners meeting of the New Year held at Snow College Jan. 11. Financial report From a financial viewpoint the Pantry is in good shape. It began 2017 with $29,723.08 and after a pending reimbursement from Utah State is received their funding will show an increase of $3,493.61 over 2016. Major events Events of the past year include vehicle problems, cardboard recycling, parking lot issues, freezer and cooling concerns, funding drives and office needs. In 2016 the Pantry workhorse truck failed and a long term replacement was sought. In March 2017, with a loan from Wells Fargo, the Pantry was able to purchase a Freightliner truck for $15,000. The Pantry contributed $3,500 and with help from the state in the amount

of $12,000 the truck has been paid off. The cardboard recycling program has been successful, in that the baler has been a good investment. It has been paid for and the recycling has brought in over $8,000 to help fund operations. The price received for bundled cardboard has varied from as little as $50 to $150 per ton. The recycling operation has collected between 4,000 to 6,000 pounds of cardboard per week, or a total of over 170,000 pounds which otherwise would have ended up at the landfill. The parking lot at the pantry has been unsafe and small, but with the help of Sanpete County a Community Development Block Grant was applied for and received. The parking lot repair and expansion will cost $126,000, of which the pantry must provide $15,000. The state will reimburse $5,000 of the pantry’s share. Construction is expected to begin this spring. There has been a need for a walk-in freezer and upgrades

to the HVAC systems at the pantry. The state has agreed to provide funds of about $39,000 to complete those upgrades in 2018. The pantry purchased a laptop computer and horizontal freezer, both purchases were entirely reimbursed by funding from the Emergency Food Network and the Emergency Food and Shelter Program contributed $3,200 toward food purchases. The pantry’s portable storage container will be moved to the rear of the building and support footings were installed. Clients served During the past year the Sanpete Pantry has been helping about 265 families per month with food needs, however the number of families served has been dropping and the pantry staff have not yet identified why. At the same time the pantry has been delivering 350 Kid Packs per month. This number is up over 2016, which was 230 per month.

The pantry makes 92 home deliveries per month, with an overall average of 27,000 pounds of food distributed per month from the program. Pantry partners There are many organizations that have partnered with the pantry for many different purposes in the help of those in need. Franz Bakery, for instance, provides breads. Utah Food Bank delivers pallets of food to the pantry three times per month. Community Action helps the pantry in many ways, not just with food. In addition all the community grocery stores have assisted in different ways. The pantry continues to pick up from Walmart, though their figures have dropped by more than half. A fundraising partner is the Drive4Food organization, which has organized fun fund raising events and activities, including golfing events, fun runs and ATV rides. During 2017 Drive4Food raised and donated $14,911.47 to the pantry.

MT. PLEASANT — A vacant home in Mt. Pleasant was recently refurbished through the efforts of Preston Condie for his Boy Scouts of America Eagle Project. The home located at approximately 600 West Main, Mt Pleasant; was quite dilapidated and a fire and safety hazard. Condie, a member of the Mt Pleasant Fourth LDS Ward sponsored BSA Troop 504 received approval from Mt. Pleasant Mayor Sandra Bigler and the city council to proceed with improvements to

the property. Several members of the ward and the Wasatch Academy basketball team volunteered to help with the project. In addition, former council member, Monte Bona provided the paint and Horseshoe Mountain hardware helped out with some rental equipment.

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE

For the Hawks it was Tiffany Peckham and Halli Bennett who each scored eight points, but it wasn’t nearly enough in the loss. Emery came into the contest as one of the top teams in all of 3A and showed why as the Lady Spartans quickly took the lead in the first few minutes of the opening period and then never looked back. The visitors from Castle Dale scored the first 12 points of the game, interrupted only by a North Sanpete time out. It was sophomore Kaylie Peterson’s free throw at 4:30 that broke the streak, but with Emery employing a full-court press and then a swarming man defense once the ball broke the half-court timeline the Spartan points kept piling up. Getting extra possession by creating turnovers off the press, Emery ended the quarter with a 26-4 advantage. Scoring a quick four points to begin the second, the Lady Hawks kept battling, but Emery kept pushing the ball down the court and getting good looks at the basket. Emery’s Lainee Jensen hit six three’s in the game on

her way to her 26 points, and four of those came in the second stanza, a couple of them consecutively. The onslaught continued all period long and ended with the Lady Spartans with a 46-13 lead. Once again the Lady Hawks came out aggressively to begin the third quarter, and worked to look into Bennett in the post and get her the ball, where she

scored her eight points. The offense cooled off for the Lady Hawks as the quarter wore on, while Emery kept the pedal to the floor and took a 65-18 lead into the fourth period. The fourth stanza was just a matter of putting the finishing touches on the game and running out the clock. Emery’s Coach Lynn Tuttle,

replaced his starters early on, emptying his bench to give his younger girls some varsity floor time. North Sanpete plays two games this week, both on the road. The Lady Hawks played at Richfield against the Wildcats on Tuesday, and then will face off against rival Manti on Thursday night (no results available at press time).

Peggy Mower 1925~2018 FAIRVIEW-- Peggy Rue Stewart Mower peacefully passed away surrounded by family Jan. 3, 2018. She was 92 years old. Peggy was born July 6, 1925, in Fairview, Utah; to Lanson and Sarah Stewart. Peggy spent her childhood growing up and attending school in Fairview. Singing on street corners with her teenage friends was a treasured childhood memory. From the time Peggy was a little girl she knew she wanted to serve a mission for the LDS Church. In 1946, she accomplished this goal when she was called to serve in the Western States Mission, which covered Beatrice and Omaha, NE; and Albuquerque, NM. After her mission, Peggy reunited with her high school sweetheart, Reed Mower (deceased), and they were married June 5, 1950, in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple. They had two children, Peggy Lee-deceased (Jim) Stavast and Steven Reed (Sara) Mower, 10 grandchildren, and 31 great-grandchildren. Peggy raised her children in Burley and Boise, ID; Roswell, NM; Fillmore, Delta, and Salt Lake City. Peggy and Reed moved back to Fairview in 1983 and spent the remainder of their lives enjoying their hometown. One of the most valuable things to Peggy was family and family history. Peggy always made sure each family member knew how much she loved them and how important they were to her. Peggy dedicated many years of her life to being an active member of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers; teaching family heritage to future generations to ensure the stories were not forgotten. Peggy also treasured her testimony of the Gospel and Jesus Christ. Peggy was a scriptorian, being able to recite many verses from the scriptures. Peggy also loved church history stories and will always be remembered passing these stories down to children, grandchildren and friends. Peggy showed her family how important service was by holding many church callings throughout the years. Peggy kept a positive attitude throughout life, and will always be remembered responding with a “You Betcha” anytime she could. Peggy had a love for music, painting, traveling and learning. Her belief was that you were never too old to learn. Peggy cherished the time spent with loved ones and could keep you up until the wee hours of the night entertained with her stories of life. Most family members will treasure the memory of playing cards and Mexican Train with Peggy and Reed when visiting. Peggy also leaves behind crocheted blankets and potholders as a memory for each grandchild, stitched with love throughout the years. Services will be held at 11 a.m., Saturday, Jan. 20, in the Fairview LDS Church (Red Brick), 122 South Street. A viewing will be held starting at 10 a.m., prior to services at the church. Interment will be held in the Fairview City Cemetery. Online condolencerasmussenmortuary.com.

Commissioner Jarrett not seeking re-election

VERIZON WIRELESS ADDS TWO BROADCAST TOWERS

SANPETE COUNTY — Sanpete County Commission Chair Claudia Jarrett will not be seeking re-election this year and will step down at the end of her term on Dec. 31. She made this announcement during the Jan. 11 mayors and commissioners meeting held at Snow College. At the end of this year, Jarrett will have served for 16 years as a commissioner. About 13 of those years as the commission chair. Commissioner Scott Bartholomew will now be serving as the commission chair.

Construction is underway on two new Verizon Wireless broadcast towers. One in Ephraim and this one at the entrance to the Sanpete County Landfill just south of Wild Bill’s Raceway on Highway 89 south of Mt. Pleasant. CentraCom Interactive is providing service to the Ephraim tower with their high speed fiber line and has partnered with Manti Telecommunications Company for the land fill tower by leasing their fiber line.

about that decision. Nelson fits the common profile of his generation of church leaders as someone who was successful in the private sector before leaving behind his career to help guide the faith. Born in Salt Lake City in 1924, Nelson converted to Mormonism at the age of 16. He was a doctor by 22. He served a twoyear Army medical tour of duty during the Korean War before resuming a medical career that included being director of thoracic surgery residency at the University of Utah. Nelson learned Mandarin after church president Spencer W. Kimball challenged church leaders in 1979 to learn the language. The next year, Nelson spent a month in Jinan, China, working with doctors there as a visiting professor of surgery. In the spring of 1984, he

joined the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. The final surgery Nelson performed was the next year in China, when he operated on Chinese opera star Fang Rongxiang at the request of a doctor who knew and trusted Nelson, according to a church biography. His past speeches offer some clue to how he will lead. In October 2015, during a period of intense discussion about the role of women, Nelson spoke of women’s unique contributions. “My dear sisters, whatever your calling, whatever your circumstances, we need your impressions, your insights, and your inspiration,” Nelson said. “Married or single, you sisters possess distinctive capabilities and special intuition you have received as gifts from God. We brethren cannot duplicate your unique influence.” That year, when the U.S. legalized same-sex marriage,

Mormon leaders declared people in same-sex relationships “apostates,” meaning they could be excommunicated, and banned baptism for children living with gay parents until the children reached age 18. The policy caused an uproar among gay rights activists within and outside the church. Nelson told a group of young adults in 2016 that the rules came from a revelation received by Monson and other leaders that gave “spiritual confirmation” for their stance. Last October, in an address to the church general conference, Nelson implored members to closely read and understand the faith’s keystone scripture, the Book of Mormon. “When I think of the Book of Mormon, I think of the word power,” Nelson said. “The truths of the Book of Mormon have the power to heal, comfort, restore, succor, strengthen, console, and cheer our souls.”

Jarrett said that having three commissioners from three different geographical areas of the county has been very helpful because it helps to identify the needs of the different areas. There has been a gentleman’s agreement in place for years that commissioners would come from different geographical areas of the county for best representation of the county areas, but it has not always been the case. Jarrett recommends that persons living in the North Sanpete County area consider running for the commission office to replace her at elec-

tion time. As a commissioner, Jarrett has had the opportunity to serve on the Six County Executive Board and on the Permanent Community Impact Board. Both positions have been informative and helpful. During the past 15 years there have been changes to the county including the construction and now use of the Sanpete County Jail, just south of Manti, and the Indianola Fire Station. In addition there has been the renovation of the Sanpete County Fairgrounds, complete with new grand stands under construction this year.

COAL EXECUTIVE’S ‘ACTION PLAN’ FINDS SUCCESS UNDER TRUMP In this Aug. 20, 2007 file photo, Robert “Bob” Murray, founder and chairman of Clevelandbased Murray Energy Corp., arrives at a news conference at the entrance to the Crandall Canyon Mine, northwest of Huntington. In the early days of the Trump administration, Murray, the head of one of America’s largest coal companies sent a four-page “action plan” to the White House calling for rollbacks of key environmental and mine safety regulations he claimed would help revive the struggling mining industry. A review by The Associated Press of that March 1, 2017, plan shows Murray, an early Trump campaign supporter, has gotten about half the items on his wish list. Still others, such as eliminating federal tax credits for wind turbines and solar panels, failed to win approval in Congress. (AP Photo/Jae C. Hong, File)
