Gang member pleaded not guilty to killing, burying Mt. Pleasant man

ASHLEY STILSON

Daily Herald

PROVO — A known drug dealer and gang member pleaded not guilty on Jan. 18 to reportedly killing a Mt. Pleasant man and burning his remains.

Raul Vidrio, 21, is charged with aggravated murder in the death of 22-year-old Wesley Nay after investigators found his body buried in a grassy meadow near Indianola in October 2016.

The remains had been burned and detectives found pieces of charred wood inside the grave, according to court records. The Medical Examiner’s Office determined Nay died from stabbing and blunt trauma.

According to charging documents, Vidrio reportedly “placed Nay’s body in a shallow grave lined with wood, doused it with gasoline and lit it on fire. Once Nay’s body was mostly destroyed and disfigured by the fire, the defendant partially filled in the grave, concealing Nay’s remains under several inches of dirt.”

Vidrio is also charged with obstructing justice, a second-degree felony, and abuse of a dead body, a third-degree felony. If convicted, aggravated murder is punishable by a minimum of 25 years to life in prison.

A family friend had reported Nay missing on Sept. 18, 2016. She told

Mt. Pleasant resident, Wesley Dee Nay, was reported missing on Sept.

18, 2016. His body was found near Indianola in October 2016. Raul Vidrio has been charged with Nay’s murder.

Raul Vidrio is alleged to have murdered Wesley Dee Nay in 2016.

Vidrio has now pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder, obstructing justice and abuse or desecration of a dead human body. Judge James Taylor has set Vidrio’s jury trial date Aug. 5-30.

detectives the last time she saw Nay was three weeks prior after he left her house with Vidrio.

Investigators interviewed a witness who reportedly went with Vidrio to cut wood in Indianola Canyon in August 2016 before Nay was reported missing. The witness identified the area they went was yards from where the remains were found, court records stated.

Vidrio reportedly told the witness to leave the wood in the area as it

would be used to “destroy evidence, specifically to ‘burn flesh,’” police reported.

Another witness told investigators that Vidrio had been talking with two other individuals about “opening the door to hell” shortly before Nay was reported missing.

Deputies with the Utah County Sheriff’s Office arrested Vidrio in September 2016 for stealing a truck, court documents reported.

“Located in the bed of the truck at

the time of Mr. Vidrio’s arrest were shovels, a pick, and gas jugs,” the probable cause statement reported.

Deputies also found a large knife inside the truck. DNA tests determined the blood on the knife belonged to Nay. During the investigation, detectives searched Vidrio’s phone and found a deleted image of Nay digging a hole in a grassy meadow that resembled the area where he was found. The picture showed Nay dressed in the same clothes he wore on the day he was last seen.

Officers said Vidrio is a known drug dealer in Mt. Pleasant and also associates with a specific gang. He is being held at the Utah County Jail on a $500,000 cash-only bail.

A jury trial has been set for Aug. 5-30.

Stacie Miner spoke with the Daily Herald in November 2016, remembering Nay as someone who didn’t have an easy life but always had a smile on his face. She and her family welcomed Nay into their home after he told them he had difficulties with his parents.

“Wesley didn’t have a very easy life. When he first started coming around … I’d hide my purse,” Miner said. “But when he actually came here, he was very respectful, very nice.”

Red Cross issues emergency call for blood donors SALT LAKE CITY — A donation shortfall over the winter holidays has prompted the American Red Cross to issue an emergency call for blood donors to give now to prevent a blood shortage from continuing throughout winter and affecting patient care.

The Red Cross collected more than 27,000 fewer blood and platelet donations the weeks of Christmas and New Year’s than needed to sustain a sufficient blood supply.

During this period, about 1,350 fewer blood drives were hosted by volunteer sponsor groups than required to meet patient needs as Please see RED CROSS, Page A1

MT. PLEASANT — North Sanpete High School (NSHS) is set to honor the 1969 NSHS basketball team on the 50th anniversary of their Utah High School Class B State Championship on Friday, Jan. 25.

The celebration will take place during half-time of the North Sanpete vs Grand County game which begins at 7 p.m., in the NSHS Gymnasium, 390 East 700 South, Mt. Pleasant. A reception will be held in the high school commons area following the game.

Coach Mack L. Wilkey, 89, and several of the team members are expected to be in attendance for this event. Team members included David Bailey, David Wilkey, George Dyches, David Johnson, Tom Madsen, Kip Madsen, Scott Frandsen, Brent Bailey, Jerry Shepherd, David Lund, Carl Blackham and the late Stanton Seely (2011).

Team sports managers were Eddie Cox and Lewis Blackham. Mack L. Wilkey was head coach and the late Odell Christiansen (2004) served as assistant coach.

After the 1969 championships, Coach Wilkey was voted “Coach of the Year” of the Class B Tournament by the Salt Lake Tribune and Deseret News.

David Bailey, a North Sanpete senior, was named “Most Valuable Player” of the tournament by both Salt Lake City newspapers. David Wilkey, son of Coach Wilkey, was also named to the Tribune All-Stars.

Both Wilkey and Bailey had also been named to All-Star teams in 1968.

Later that summer, David Bailey was named to the 100-man 1969 Prep All-America Basketball Squad.

In 1969, 50 years ago, the North Sanpete Hawks won the Utah State Class B basketball championship game. David Bailey, #22, shoots at the basket during one of the games with teammates Brent Bailey, #14, and David Johnson, #30. After the games were over, David Bailey, #22, was selected as “Most Valuable Player” of the tournament. Later that summer he was named to the 100-man 1969 Prep All-America Basketball Squad.

He was chosen out of about 200,000 senior players in the nation. Earlier in the season, prior to the championship game he was also chosen by Coach Wilkey and the team to receive the “Playmaker Award.”

Coach Wilkey came to North Sanpete in the 1954-55 school year. In 1965 he took the first North Sanpete team to go to state since 1925.

The team almost took the prize that year but lost to South Sevier. In 1991, Coach Wilkey was voted to the Utah Coaches Hall of Fame.

1969 was also the first year that North Sanpete High School used the hawk as their mascot. Artist Max Blain presented a painting depict-

MT. PLEASANT—An alleged carjacking took place Jan. 21 in Mt. Pleasant. The incident involved two vehicles that met in the parking lot of the old Shave ‘N Crème building on 500 North and State.

The perpetrators, an adult male and a juvenile female, met three individuals in the parking lot. The adult male proceeded to accost the others which included one adult male and two juveniles.

The adult male perpetrator allegedly pulled a gun and ordered the three victims to get back into the car and drive west below town where he then ordered them out of the vehicle and fired one shot into the ground to scare the victims and then took the vehicle.

The three victims then walked back into town and called their parents to report the crime.

According to Mt. Pleasant Police Chief Jim Wilberg, the vehicle was later found abandoned near Parley’s Lane, east of Mt. Pleasant, Please see CARJACKING, Page A6

FASTER Utah aims to empower against potential school shooters SALT LAKE CITY — In the wake of school shootings throughout the country, administrators and legislators are looking for smart and cost-effective solutions to defend school students and minimize the tragic consequences of these events. As Utah Legislators begin their 2019 session, one hot topic will include protecting educators and students from aggressive threats.

Utah school teachers have an opportunity to be empowered with knowledge to help defend themselves and their students in a variety of crisis situations. FASTER Utah aims to empower teachers with the training needed to protect and defend schools from those who wish to cause harm.

FASTER stands for Faculty / Administrator Safety Training and Emergency Response and is patterned after similar successful programs in other parts of the country.

After a year of hard work and research, Brant Taylor with Taylor Gunsmithing is introducing the program to Utah this spring. He remarked, “We are bringing FASTER Saves Lives to Utah.”

“FASTER is a groundbreaking, non-profit program that gives educators practical and effective violence response training. Funded by the good people of Utah, training is provided at NO COST to teachers and administrators with concealed firearms permits,” he said.

This program offers a carefully-structured curriculum offering hands-on training over three days. Extremely qualified instructors teach the course to help ensure they retain critical life-saving knowledge under stressful conditions. Those who graduate will pass a Law Enforcement Qualification Shoot.

The purpose of FASTER Utah is not to replace police and EMT’s, but to help teachers and administrators stop school violence rapidly and render medical aid immediately until help arrives.

Taylor commented, “When

MICHAEL O’KEENE

Protecting educators and students from aggressive threats is a real concern. The FASTER Saves Lives program is now available in Utah to help provide educators with practical and effective violence response training. violence strikes and students’ lives are on the line, every second matters. Even though police are only minutes away, already there is faster than a response. FASTER can bridge the gap until help can respond.”

Brant Taylor added, “Our mission is to make scholarships for advanced handgun and trauma first aid training available to K-12 school faculty and administrators who have concealed firearms permits.”

We never want money to be a limiting factor for teachers to participate in this program.

“Knowledge is power and perhaps is the most cost-effective option when it comes to protecting our students.”

Physical barriers can help limit certain threats but can become prohibitively expensive and further restrict the already limited funds and resources available for teachers and our educational system. Unfortunately, there is only so much that can reasonably be done to fortify our school institutions with physical barriers.

The ideal scenario is a combination of education, fortification, and tools to help enable those who wish to defend and educate our most precious resources. Doing so will reduce the image of our schools being soft and easy targets to these criminals.

Taylor remarked, “We invite all school staff with concealed firearms permits to apply for a training scholarship at http:// www.fasterutah.org.

This training is initially scheduled during Spring Break on March 23, 25 and 26, 2019. School staff members interested in attending should take a concealed firearms class immediately if they have not done so already.”

Some concealed carry classes are offered at no cost to educators. Taylor suggested contacting instructors early and ask if they provide free concealed carry classes to school staff to prepare them for FASTER Utah.

Taylor concluded, “We believe that FASTER is the most effective and cost-ef-

fective way to harden Utah schools. Many teachers and other school staff are already legally carrying firearms in schools. Giving our educators this advanced handgun and trauma first aid training will strengthen our schools from within.”

He says it is, “Similar to the Federal Flight Deck Officer and Air Marshal programs, potential predators will think twice if we advertise that trained school personnel are on site that have skills on par with law enforcement.

FASTER Utah should make our schools less attractive targets to those tempted to murder school children to become infamous while committing suicide.”

Former sports doctor Larry Nassar, who had admitted molesting some of the nation’s top gymnasts for years under the guise of medical treatment, was sentenced to 40 to 175 years in prison. Chipper Jones, Jim Thome, Vladimir Guerrero and Trevor Hoffman were elected to the base-

I was a little surprised last month when one of my social media “apps” on my phone sent a message to me wishing me a “Happy Half-Birthday.”

I thought, “Great, just what I need, another odd, out of the blue, reminder of my advancing years.”

It was “Snapchat” that gave me the reminder. And, if you must know, I’m willing, if not entirely happy, to disclose: I’m 66 and one-half years young.)

I’ve heard that in some countries when you hit your half birthday that you are considered to be the next age number of your next birthday. In that case I’d be 67.

I’ve also heard that in Korea when you’re born, you start life as a 1 year old, rather than zero. I believe they consider the gestational period as the first year of a person’s life.

Regardless, it’s bad enough to have the real birthday hit me each year. And when I have birthdays at this point in life I feel like saying, “Didn’t I just have one of these a few months ago?” It’s like decorating for Christmas. It seems like I just barely put all those boxes away up in the attic when it’s time to drag them out again for another Christmas season. As I age, the breaks between events and seasons seemingly get shorter and shorter.

Besides my half-birthday reminder, I recently received a little perspective on birthdays and aging otherwise.

This perspective came by way of noticing the news of Betty White’s birthday last week. The long time, show business celebrity turned 97 on the 17th. You’ll remember her from “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” “The Golden Girls” and many other television shows and movies. I saw her in the movie “The Proposal” on TV a couple of weeks ago.

Betty has made a living out of being funny, out-spoken and lovable. It’s reported that she feels great and that she “still loves to work and offers keep coming in.” A few of the things she says we couldn’t get away with putting into this newspaper. She can be a little bawdy at times. But she has lots of, what I think, is good advice on life and aging. Here are some quotes of hers that I like:

ball Hall of Fame. Scientists in China announced that they had used the cloning technique that produced Dolly the sheep to create healthy monkeys; it was the first such achievement in primates. Singer Elton John announced that he would be retiring from the road after an upcoming three-year global tour.

Today’s Birthdays: Cajun musician Doug Kershaw is 83.

Singer-songwriter Ray Stevens is 80. Singer-songwriter Neil Diamond is 78. Singer Aaron Neville is 78. Actor Michael Ontkean is 73. Actor Daniel Auteuil is 69. Country singer-songwriter Becky Hobbs is 69. Comedian Yakov Smirnoff is 68. South Korean President Moon Jae-in is 66. Actor William Allen Young is 65.

Bandleader-musician Jools Holland is 61. Actress Nas-

“I’m a health nut. My favorite food is hot dogs with French fries. And my exercise: I have a two story house and a very bad memory, so I’m up and down those stairs.”

“Facebook just sounds like a drag, in my day seeing pictures of peoples vacations was considered a punishment.”

“I just make it my business to get along with people so I can have fun. It’s that simple.”

On her longevity: “There’s no formula. Keep busy with your work and your life. You can’t become a professional mourner. It doesn’t help you or others. Keep the person in your heart all the time.

Replay the good times. Be grateful for the years you had.”

“I get bored with people who complain about this or that. It’s such a waste of time. Enjoy life. Accentuate the positive, not the negative. It sounds so trite, but a lot of people will pick out something to complain about, rather than say, ‘Hey, that was great!’ It’s not hard to find great stuff if you look.”

I have three close neighbors who are in their nineties. They’re all fun to visit and are philosophical about life. Having a sense of humor and keeping an active mind is a common trait among them.

The widow across the street used to go out to the movies quite regularly, up until a couple of years ago.

Now she’d rather not be troubled by all the preparations to go out. It’s more comfortable to watch a show on TV and multi-task with crocheting an afghan. My neighbors are examples to me of what aging gracefully is all about.

I know some people who say that they’re going to live to be 100 years old. I suppose that’s a good goal. However, the odds aren’t in our favor to get to 100. My research shows that just 0.02 percent of the American population makes it there. That’s about 65,000 people. Most of them are women – four-fifths.

Betty White might make it, who knows?

I’m not sure that I’ll make it. I am a man, after all. But, on the other hand, I really do like hot dogs and French fries.

Singles seeking relationships may have a great Valentine’s Day MEDIA, PA — Some people are perfectly content being single. But for those who are actively looking for a significant other, Valentine’s Day can be a frustrating and even depressing day because it reminds them they have not been successful in their quest.

To them, the entire world can seem to be full of happy couples in love, but this is because of their perspective. The same thing happens to people who are married and trying to have kids — to them, the entire world seems to be full of happy couples in love who have children. This perspective can make a person see the world in a way that may not be entirely accurate.

“Don’t fall for the illusion that the world was suddenly overtaken by loving, happy couples eating Valentine’s chocolates, sipping champagne behind a silhouette of dozens of roses on an exotic island in a faraway tropical paradise,” says Tom Corner, a motivational speaker and author of Borrowed Eyes and Feet: Finding Enlightenment After Rage (www.tomcorner.net) “It is our perspective that can help us react positively to any situation.”

Corner says the one thing a single person doesn’t want to do on Valentine’s Day is be on social media.

“Social media on Valentine’s Day will erupt in an annoying frenzy of posts about love, couples and happiness!

Yecch!” he says. “Not only is it full of messages for couples, but it is also not healthy for you to see your ex’s posts about his or her new love.”

Corner says many singles dread Valentine’s Day so they ignore it and then try to hide from the avalanche of television, radio and social media reminders of the date. He encourages them to make plans in advance, even if those plans are to stay home with a new novel or binge watch favorite shows.

“If you don’t make plans to do something, you may end up crying in your beer or glass of wine all alone,” he says.

“And this simply stinks!”

Corner has these suggestions for singles who are looking to make Valentine’s Day plans: Host an event Host a singles-only dinner party or night on the town. Invite all those favorite single people and then toast to their independence. Even better, a friend who happens to be single, recently took her friends out for axe throwing. (Yep, it’s a thing!)

Pamper yourself Splurge on something, a haircut,

beauty treatment, or massage. Buy a nice piece of jewelry or purchase tickets for a future concert. Take a long bath, enjoy a face mask, paint finger nails, or binge-watch some favorite shows.

Cook Cook a romantic dinner for some relatives. Perhaps parents, grandparents or even an aunt or uncle may be spending the evening alone and would love some company. Set the table, light candles, and open a good bottle of sparkling wine.

Go to the gym My friend, previously mentioned, who recently broke-up with her boyfriend is putting together a CrossFit workout of the Day (WOD) for singles.

Babysit Babysit for friends or relatives. Be the cool aunt or uncle: order pizza or make brownie sundaes. Being with children helps a person connect with their inner child.

Revisit resolutions Many of the previous ideas are wonderful in the short term, but what happens after Valentine’s Day is over? Why not spend time taking stock of life experiences up to this point?

Why not pre-pave the plans where to be in a year, or five years, or 10 years.

How will that future life look? Who will be there? The more a person visualizes and writes down how they see their life (and love life) the more a person will attract the love of their life. Ask, “What will I be doing on Valentine’s Day next year?” and then plan for it.

Corner says with a little planning singles who are looking for a significant other can fill Valentine’s Day with meaningful and thoughtful activities.

More importantly, he says they can change their perspective which will allow them to see their love life clearly this year and in the future.

More spot-and-stalk black bear hunts will be offered in Utah this season. (Photo courtesy of the Utah DWR)

New bear hunts, 2019-21 hunting changes approved SALT LAKE CITY — Starting this season, hunters will have more chances to spot and stalk bears in Utah. Members of the Utah Wildlife Board, a panel of seven citizens appointed by the governor, recently approved changes that will guide black bear hunting in Utah for the next three years.

Darren DeBloois, game mammals coordinator for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR), says the additional spot-and-stalk hunts the board approved will give more hunters a chance to hunt bears while increasing the number of bears taken only slightly.

“The success rate of spotand-stalk hunts is similar to archery hunting for deer,” DeBloois says. “We can offer more opportunities to spotand-stalk because the number of bears taken with spot-andstalk is lower than other types of hunting.”

DeBloois was also pleased with the board’s decision to

“OUR MEMBERS ARE GOLDEN” JOIN OUR 50 YEAR CELEBRATION!

keep black bear hunting rules consistent for the next three years. “The number of bears doesn’t fluctuate much from year to year,” he says, “so it makes sense to keep the rules consistent and not change them every year.”

“Keeping the rules in place for the next three years will give us a better, long-term picture of how the state’s bear population is responding to the hunting rules,” he said.

Hunters can see all of the black bear rules the board approved in the 2019 Black Bear Guidebook, which should be available free by Feb. 1, online at www.wildlife.utah.gov/ guidebooks.

Spot, stalk hunts The number of people who want to hunt bears in Utah has far outpaced the number of bear hunting permits that are available. To give more people a chance to hunt bears, board members approved a recommendation to hold more spotand-stalk hunts.

In the past, spot-and-stalk hunts were held mostly on the LaSal and San Juan units in southeastern Utah. These units have the highest density of bears in the state.

“Despite the high bear numbers,” DeBloois says, “only 10 to 15 percent of those who spot-and-stalk on the units

take a bear. The success rate is similar to archery big game hunting. And those two units have a lot of bears. The success rate might be lower on units with fewer bears.”

Spot-and-stalk hunts will be held on 11 hunting units in Utah. On three of the units, an unlimited number of permits will be sold, but the hunt will end as soon as three bears are taken on each of the units.

On the remaining units, a limited number of permits, a total of 205, will be offered.

Based on a 10 percent success rate, DWR biologists estimate that less than 25 bears will be taken during the spot-andstalk hunts.

Note: During spot-andstalk hunts, hunters can’t pursue bears with hounds or use bait to lure bears in. Instead, hunters walk through the forest, hoping to spot a bear that they can stalk and take.

Keeping rules same Not changing the hunting rules every year would help biologists better determine the effect the rules are having on the bear population.

DeBloois says bears live for a relatively long period of time, have fairly low reproductive rates and aren’t affected much by severe changes in weather.

Because the number of bears doesn’t fluctuate much, De-

Bloois says changing the hunting rules every year can actually be counterproductive to managing black bears effectively.

“A better way to determine how hunting rules are affecting a bear population is to leave the rules in place for a longer period of time,” he says. “Keeping the hunting rules and permit numbers consistent will provide us with a better, long-term picture of how the rules are affecting the population. That, in turn, will give us better long-term data that will help us draft the recommendations we present in 2021.”

If something out of the ordinary happens to the bear population before the threeyear period is over, a couple of ‘safety valves’ are in place that allow immediate changes to be made.

“One is to meet with the Wildlife Board, explain the situation and ask the board to make some changes,” DeBloois says. “If we’re facing a critical situation, the director of the DWR has the authority to close hunts down. So, not changing the rules for three years doesn’t mean changes can’t be made if something drastic happens to the population.”

Plenty of room to ice fish Flaming Gorge, lake trout limit increased MANILA — There are plenty of waters close to home that will provide great ice fishing this winter but, those waters might draw lots of anglers.

If looking for more space, consider a fishing trip to Flaming Gorge Reservoir. In addition to great fishing and room to stretch, the reservoir is surrounded by spectacular scenery.

In addition, on Jan. 1, the lake trout limit at the reservoir increased to 12 lake trout a day.

Only one lake trout can be over 28 inches, though.

Randy Oplinger, sport fisheries coordinator for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR), encourages anglers to take advantage of the opportunity and keep their limit of smaller lake trout.

Oplinger says a growing population of smaller lake trout is causing problems for anglers. “The smaller lake trout are competing with kokanee salmon and rainbow trout for food.”

He says the competition is affecting both the number and size of kokanee and rainbows in the reservoir. “Kokanee and rainbows are the two fish lake trout prey on.”

“If we can reduce the number of smaller lake trout, they’ll be more kokanee and rainbows for anglers to catch and for the remaining lake trout to eat.

Keeping your limit of smaller lake trout should produce bigger lake trout to catch in the future,” Oplinger says.

He also reminds anglers that they must keep any burbot that are caught.

Flaming Gorge Reservoir has an abundant population of lake trout under 28 inches long and the limit has been increased to 12 a day. (Photo courtesy of Utah DWR) Fishing tips Plenty of lake trout up to 25 inches long are waiting for anglers at this scenic reservoir on the Utah, Wyoming border. Ryan Mosley, the Utah DWRs lead aquatic biologist at Flaming Gorge, says getting a lake map and studying it thoroughly is the first step to catching them.

The area anglers will want to study first is the north end of the reservoir, between the confluence (where the Black’s Fork and Green river arms meet in the reservoir) south to the area called Buckboard.

“The best lake trout fishing usually happens at the start of the ice fishing season,” Mosley says, “and that’s the area that freezes first.”

While studying the map, look for contours, main channel points and flats that are adjacent to the main river channel

and in water that’s 50 to 80 feet deep. “Those are the areas anglers will want to fish,” Mosley says.

Before heading to the reservoir, make sure to bring an electronic fish finder that will help spot the lake trout under the ice. Anglers will also want a medium action fishing rod with a reel spooled with fishing line that’s eight-pound test or stronger.

To get the bait offering down fast, use ¼- to ½-ounce lures.

Various jigging spoons, swim baits and jigs work, but the traditional go-to lure is a white tube jig that’s two-and-a-half to three inches long.

“Always place a small piece of sucker or chub meat on the lure’s hook,” he says. “The meat will entice fish to bite the lure.”

Mosley says lake trout are usually found close to the bot-

tom. “That’s not always the case, though,” he says. “Sometimes, they’ll suspend just 15 to 20 feet under the ice. When fish are seen on the fish finder, don’t be afraid to reel the lure up to the fish.”

When fishing through the ice at Flaming Gorge, anglers can use up to six fishing poles or tip-ups. Mosley uses a variety of techniques, from aggressive jigging to subtle jigging with lots of pauses.

Another tactic he often uses involves at least two poles.

After placing a small piece of sucker or chub meat on the hook of a lure, he lowers the lure close to the bottom and then lets the pole sit still. In a second hole drilled close to the first hole, he lowers a jig to the bottom and starts jigging it.

“This technique draws fish in and gives them a couple of options: they can take the lure I’m jigging or, if they’re not in an active feeding mood, they can easily take the lure that’s sitting nearby and isn’t moving,” he says.

Mosley says lake trout can be finicky. “But once you find them,” he says, “you can do really well. Let the fish ‘tell’ you what they want by trying different techniques.”

If fishing with more than one line at Flaming Gorge, remember that the anglers name must be attached to each line. Also, if an angler is from Utah, but wants to fish on the Wyoming side of the reservoir, make sure to have either a Wyoming reciprocal fishing stamp or a Wyoming fishing license.

Right now, the Red Cross has less than a three-day supply of most blood types on hand, well below the ideal five-day supply needed to respond to emergencies and daily hospital needs.

“We hope people can resolve to save lives now – when there is an emergency need – as well as throughout the year,” added Numark.

We can’t agree on everything.

We can agree on savings.

All eligible donors, especially blood donors with type O blood, are urged to make an appointment to give in the coming days to help restock the shelves for hospital patients.

Eligible donors can find a blood donation opportunity and schedule an appointment to donate by using the free Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767).

Volunteer blood drive hosts are also critically needed to prevent the shortage from worsening this winter.

Winter weather risk With several weeks of winter ahead, severe winter weather poses an additional threat to an already low blood supply.

Snow, ice and extreme temperatures last January and February forced hundreds of blood drive cancellations, causing about 23,000 blood and platelet donations to go uncollected.

In December, winter weather resulted in nearly twice the number of uncollected blood and platelet donations as December 2017.

Who donations help In May 2018, four-year-old Branson Gibby was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a rare type of childhood cancer that affects certain types of nerve tissue after complaining of pain in his arms and legs and running a fever.

After many tests, his mother, Erica Austin, was given the news that no mother ever wants to hear: her son had cancer.

Branson’s 18-month treatment plan includes many rounds of grueling chemotherapy, surgery to remove the tumor near his kidney and spinal cord, stem cell transplants, and possibly radiation. He has already endured several lengthy hospital stays and began receiving the first of his stem cell transplants this fall.

Since his diagnosis, Branson has received 12 blood and 11 platelet transfusions. Of the transfusions, Austin said, “They have been so important to keep him as healthy, active and battle-ready, as possible.

This is the hardest thing our family has ever faced. However, there is hope in the generosity
