TeleHealth oncology service now available at SVH MT. PLEASANT — Intermountain Sanpete Valley Hospital (SVH) is helping to support patients in the community by providing an extra level of support to cancer patients through the use of telehealth technology that will enable patients to be treated close to home.

Sanpete Valley Hospital is now offering Intermountain TeleHealth Oncology services to local patients, including onsite chemotherapy treatments and consultations with Intermountain Healthcare’s team of oncologists and cancer experts from Intermountain Cancer Center.

From early detection to treatment, including chemotherapy and care planning, Intermountain oncologists and specialists will collaborate with local caregivers to provide individualized support and medically-advanced care via video technology, reducing the need for patients to travel long distances to receive care.

Historically, patients had to travel to Southern Utah, Utah County, or Salt Lake County for their cancer care and treatment. Now, through the TeleHealth Oncology service, patients can be screened, receive their care plan, treatment and recovery – all close to home.

“Our goal of the TeleHealth Oncology service is to provide on-site chemo treatments, through advanced technology, meeting the oncology needs of our patients, to assist them in being successful in managing their condition,” said

MANTI— Anthony Jeffery Christensen, who was scheduled for trial by jury in February, has changed his not guilty plea and has now pled guilty to murder and obstruction of justice during proceedings Jan. 21, in Sixth District Court, Manti. Christensen’s sentencing is scheduled to Anthony Jeffery Christensen take place on Wednesday, March 4.

Christensen has been charged in the death of Kammy Mae Edmunds, his girlfriend and mother of two children. Edmunds was found dead in a Mt. Pleasant home in March 31, 2017, where she lived with fiancé Anthony Christensen.

According to police, the evidence at the scenes involved did not support Christensen’s explanation of how the events occurred and he was arrested on April 1, 2017.

“Cancer patients, who may already not feel well, won’t have to travel an hour or more to receive treatment. Patients can be screened, evaluated and plan their treatment with oncology specialists, without leaving their community,” said Wood.

This service not only implements innovative technology to provide the highest level of patient care, but also addresses existing challenges including: travel, the costs that are associated with that, along with the desire to stay closer to home so patients can benefit from fam-

ily and community support during treatment.

“We are excited to offer this new extended care in addition to our other out-patient services such as infusions, IM injections and wound care. This will keep our friends and family close to home,” said Anne Swapp, RN, who oversees the new program.

Commander change ceremony held at AL Post 4 RAY LAFOLLETTE

The Pyramid

MT. PLEASANT—American Legion (AL) Post 4 received a new commander during ceremonies held Jan. 21 at the Utah National Guard Armory in Mt. Pleasant. In addition, a number of veterans received awards.

Commander Dennis Matthews, who has been serving as commander for the past year, welcomed attendees to the event and expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to serve and help the American Legion in honoring the U.S. Constitution.

Matthews then stepped aside for David Simmons, adjutant, to swear in the new commander and vice commanders. The new commander is Courtney Syme with Gary Arnoldson as first vice-commander and Joseph Fuchsel as second vice-commander.

Several members were then awarded continuing membership certificates along with the Utah Cold War Victory medal.

Those receiving the Cold War medal are as follows: Gary Arnoldson, Robert Bob Arzich, Thurman Ashburn, Nicholas Atwood, Chad Badham, Jimmy Bean, James Bench, Stephen Brandt, Roger Clegg, Rodney Culley, Louis Espinoza, Joseph Fuchsel, Guy Gee, Dennis Matthews, James Boyd Mickel, Andrew Peterson, Ward Ragner, David F. Simmons, Erwin Smith, Courtney Syme, Trevillian Buchner and Carl Wright.

The Utah Cold War Victory medal was created to honor those who served during the cold war. In the past, veterans of World War II, Korean War and the Vietnam War were recognized with medals for their service, but not the men and women who served during the Cold War. Yet during the Cold War millions of American soldiers manned submarines, drove tanks, conducted surveillance and performed many other important services, but have rarely been formally recognized, either with monuments or service medals.

Congress first approved a

FOMO on the roof The Utah Cold War Victory Medal was created to honor those who served honorably in the United States military, including Reservists and members of the National Guard, between Sept. 2, 1945 and Dec. 26, 1991. The medal is plated in a two-tone finish of 18K and antique gold. The nuclear triad is featured with representations of the minuteman (ICBM) missle, a Trident submarine and a B-52 bomber. The countries of Germany, Korea and Vietnam are also featured. (Photo by Ray LaFollette, The Pyramid)

Cold War service medal in 2001, but then-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld declined to authorize it. Since then, several bills have called for the award in congress, but none have passed.

In 2013, Texas became the first state to authorize its own medal and Louisiana and Alaska soon followed suit. In 2016, 100 veterans were honored at the Utah State Capitol in Salt Lake City, but when the initial funds were exhausted, the state dropped their involvement.

Then in 2017, Utah House Bill 220 authorized the medal and Utah became the fourth state to offer the award, to be known in Utah as the Utah Cold War Victory Medal.

It’s to be given for honorable service in the United States military (including Reservists and National Guard) between Sept. 2, 1945 and Dec. 26, 1991.

According to Kraig Thorne, senior vice-commander of VFW Post 4918, approximately 100,000 Utahns served in the military during the Cold War in various

All of the medals are now paid for by donations from individuals and charitable organizations. Larry Kerr, of the Utah Cold War Veterans Alliance, Inc., has been working hard to keep the fundraising for medals in gear.

“We did lose ships and submarines to the Cold War,” Kerr says. “We lost aircraft and pilots due to the Cold War, and they never really got any recognition at all.”

The Utah Cold War Victory Medals are all purchased from BrightPoint Creative, LLC for a cost of $15. But it is hoped

that no veteran will have to buy their own.

David F. Simmons, adjutant for the American Legion District 6 and Mt. Pleasant Post 4 would like to raise enough funds to present the medal to all those in Sanpete that served during the Cold War. Simmons can be reached at PO Box 233, Moroni, UT 84646, via phone (435) 8510679, or email to davidsimmons1631@yahoo.com.

Last Saturday, I was up on the roof of my house. If you pause a moment, you can probably guess why. Yes, it was a good day to take Christmas lights down. The sun was shining, birds were singing, and my knee joints were creaking, cracking and popping.

It was the perfect day for the light takedown job. Sanpete was right in between snowstorms. The snow was almost all melted off the critical parts of the roof. I only felt like my life was in danger twice while I did the job. Well, that’s if you don’t count any of the up and down the ladder moments.

Before I went up on the roof I told my wife where I was going and what I was doing. This, I felt, was wise and the equivalent of complying with the advice we often hear that we should tell a responsible party of our plans when we go on a hike up in the canyons and mountains.

As I parted company with my wife, I said, “If you don’t see me in about 45 minutes, come out and find my body under the roof line of the house somewhere.” She replied, “Oh, I think I’ll hear your scream as you fall.” I told her to be listening for the hollered phase, “As you wishhhh!” (If you don’t “get” that, watch the movie “The Princess Bride” sometime.)

It might be my imagination; but with each passing year, I feel like my Spiderman agility and my Superman pain-free movements are gradually diminishing.

I was pooped, by the time I had unattached the long strings of Christmas lights and coiled them up for storage. I sat down near the crest of the roof for a rest. (Everyone knows you should stay off the ridgelines and valleys of an asphalt shingle roof).

I did some deep breathing and enjoyed the view. There is just something about being at a little higher elevation to get the feeling of leaving the cares of the world on the ground behind.

I thought of the old Gerry Goffin/Carole King song, “Up on the Roof.” James Taylor did the cover of the song I remember best in 1979.

The song begins: “When this old world starts getting me down, And people are just too much for me to face – I climb way up to the top of the stairs, And all my cares just drift right into space…”

It was just when all my cares were starting to drift away, as I relaxed there up on the roof, when it happened. No, I didn’t tip over and roll off the roof. And no, I didn’t get a visit from my

wife worrying about me.

What did happen was a serious attack of FOMO. Many of you know what FOMO is. If you don’t, it’s an acronym for “Fear Of Missing Out.” This term is thrown around quite often and I can assure you that it’s a real thing. Much of FOMO these days revolves around social media. People see posts on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. and feel like everyone else is having more fun and living better than they are. Kids and adults feel stress and anxiety from FOMO. My mother-in-law was famous for late night FOMO. We would be up late at family gatherings and she’d always be reluctant to go to bed before everyone else had gone to bed. I’m calling that version of the syndrome: AIMMS. That’s because she always said, “I’m Afraid I Might Miss Something!”

My FOMO attack on Saturday happened right in the middle of my peaceful, rooftop reverie. I heard a small engine sound. And then I looked down, and there was my neighbor from a couple of blocks away scootering up the road on his little scooter. His hair was flying and he wasn’t even wearing a jacket.

I instantly went green with envy and felt a wave of FOMO. What right did that knucklehead have to be out on a scooter in the middle of January in Sanpete? And why wasn’t I out there doing the same thing?

I couldn’t relax anymore.

I wanted to feel the January breeze in my not as long of hair as my neighbor’s. I wanted to feel the “power” of my 50cc engine Yamaha Vino scooter under me.

Down off the roof I went.

(Carefully. Using the stepladder.)

I hurried and put the Christmas lights away. I moved a bunch of junk out of the way in the garage and freed up access to the scooter. It hadn’t been ridden since maybe September.

I wheeled it out on the driveway and commenced to kick start it. The dog slinked away. (I’ve forced him to go for rides before and he hates it.)

I huffed and I puffed. I kicked the starter lever pedal – oh maybe 75 times. Nothing. I got a little agitated. I kicked it again – maybe another 75 times. Hooray! It started.

I hopped on and zoomed off into the now cooling off part of a Sanpete January day. I was wearing a heavy coat and my eyes were watering. But, this time, this day – I beat FOMO by NOT missing out!

‘Every Brilliant Thing’ comes to Snow College EPHRAIM — Every Brilliant Thing, by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe, will be presented for a one-time, one-hour performance on Wednesday, Feb. 5, at 4 p.m., in the Jorgensen Concert Hall, Eccles Center for the Performing Arts, 300 East Center, Ephraim.

Admission is free, but tickets are required and open to the public. This performance is not recommended for those under age 14. For tickets, visit www.snow.edu/academics/ fineart/ or call (435) 283-7472.

Don’t miss this one time showing of the Shakespeare Festival production of “Every Brilliant Thing” (EBT). This funny and moving play shines a light on the effects of suicide, a serious problem in our day and culture.

It is an adult topic, but is handled with warmth and hope. If prepared properly, Every Brilliant Thing is suitable for all audiences and can be a springboard to important discussion among all ages.

This one-time performance is sponsored by Snow College Care Team, Administration, Wellness Center and Student Life.

About EBT Audience members learn that when the narrator was a child, his or her mother suffered from depression and attempted suicide. The narrator decided to make a list of all the things that make life worth living to persuade her to live, starting with #1, “ice cream,” and continuing to one million.

This inventive, beautifully rendered theatrical experience is unique in the way the audience becomes a support community for the narrator and gains rich insights along the way about the things hiding in plain sight that make life worthwhile and wonderful.

“I am proud of the effort undertaken by the Utah Shakespeare Festival to perform Every Brilliant Thing at each school within this great state,” said Lieutenant Governor Spencer J. Cox, who has discussed his own struggles with suicidal thoughts as a young man.

“Many youth today do not have adequate support structures and demand our attention and the encouragement from efforts like this,” says Cox. “I believe this production will save lives.”

Utah has the highest rate of suicide for youth 10 to 24 years-old and ranks fifth highest in suicide rates in the nation, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Many students in Utah have been impacted by suicide in some way, and the state has undertaken a variety of measures to reverse this tragic trend.

“The hope is this endeavor starts a conversation and removes the secrets that can cause suffering so healing can be a real possibility for those affected by depression and suicidal thoughts,” says Donn Jersey, Shakespeare Festival director of development and communication. “We are incredibly grateful to our sponsors for making this dream a reality.”

“This is some of the most important work we, as a theatre company, can do,” said Frank Mack, executive producer of the Festival. “While it’s not treatment, artistic experiences that so powerfully say ‘yes’ to life can have a profound impact.”

“When we see someone else’s story, it can help us reflect on our circumstances in completely new and different ways,” Mack said. “When young people see, in a marvelously creative and theatrical way, one million reasons to live, it will help shed light on what’s most positive. Live theatre can do this like nothing else.”

Through the support of the State of Utah, Department of Heritage and Arts, Utah Department of Arts and Museums, Rural Health Division of Southern Utah, Southern Utah University, Ashton Family Foundation and Hemingway Foundation, there will be no charge to the school or students.

Materials and information on how others can get help will be available after the performance.

Two North Sanpete Jr. Hawk Wrestlers take first place at state tourney JAYMI KING

MORONI — North Sanpete Junior High Wrestling Team participated this last weekend in the 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A Junior High State Tournament at the Sevier Valley Center in Richfield.

The tournament had 36 teams and 600 wrestlers competing for state titles in the different weight divisions.

The Jr. Hawks had 16 kids that competed at state.

The team has been preparing for this event since

November. Working hard at practice and attending several weekend tournaments leading up to the event. They have a very young team and had a lot of new boys join wrestling for the first time this year. It was great to see their excitement grow throughout the season.

For the first time in over 10 years, the Hawks had four wrestlers in the final championship match competing for first place and the state title.

Killian Olsen, 61 pounds, son of Brandon and Danielle Ol-

sen, Fountain Green, battled his way to the finals middle school bracket where he pulled off a few upsets. He lost to Ashby of Delta in the finals match, but was happy with his second place medal.

Mckade Sweat, 73, son of Jerad and Tiffanie Sweat, Mt. Pleasant, had a tough road to his finals match, but because of his hard work and determination he made it look easy. He won the championship match against Pulver of South Summit by a 6-0 decision.

Bryce Swapp, 83, son of Spencer and Bonnie Swapp, Fairview, made his way to the finals match many upsets as well for this first-year wrestler. He lost in the finals to Blackett of Juab and took home a well-deserved second place medal. He plans to continue wrestling next year.

Krew King, 70, son of Kris and Jaymi King, Mt. Pleasant, was a returning state champ

from last year and was looking forward to competing for the title again this year. He won the finals match over Tatton of Carbon by technical fall 160. King is a seasoned wrestler and looks forward many more years of wrestling.

Taking sixth place were Ty Pringle, Spring City, who is brand new to wrestling this year and Aramis Delbecq, Mt. Pleasant, who joined the team

half-way through the season.

The team may be small in numbers but has a lot of heart and continues to grow each year. Team members and parents are excited to watch this program grow and look forward to next year.

The team is coached by Kris King who is no stranger to the wrestling world with the assistance of Jerad Sweat, Brandon Olsen and Angel Gomez.

Four members of the North Sanpete Junior Hawk Wrestling Team had a shot at first place during the Junior High State Tournament encompassing 1A, 2A, 3A and 4A schools throughout the state. Mckade Sweat and Krew King both came away with first place medals.

How to avoid being a victim of cyberattack ALAIN GHIAI

CEO of GlobeX Data Ltd.

VANCOUVER, BC — Not a day seems to go by without reading about the latest cyberattack. No one is safe anymore — big companies like Equifax and Facebook to Uber and eBay have suffered major security breaches, along with countless everyday people.

There has long been a prevailing attitude among many individuals that goes, “If I get hacked, I’ll just change my password.”

Whether that reflects misplaced trust in a constantly-connected world or simply laziness, it seems the majority of people think a digital security breach will never strike them and if it does, it won’t be a big deal. But deep inside they know that may not be true.

Not only is personal money at risk, but so is personal information, as well. As for easily fixing things after having been hacked, ask anyone who’s been digitally compromised and they will tell you it can take years to repair the damage.

With the deck seemingly stacked against people, what chance does the average person have if the bad guys have them in their crosshairs?

Despite numerous reports of major corporations and entire cities being held hostage by cyber criminals, there acDAILY HERALD tually are things the average

ADIRUCH NA CHIANGMAI — STOCK.ADOBE.COM

In today’s society it is not wise to assume that it is safe to access personal finances and information online. One way to protect personal data is to change passwords fairly often, thus making it harder for hackers to access personal accounts. person can do to protect him or herself.

Never assume safety Never assume to be safe online. Today’s online world is convenient, with apps for everything and access to personal finances and that most personal information just a tap away on a smartphone.

But convenience comes at a price. This very ease in use, is at the center of the problems people are facing today.

Social media Cyber theft is largely based on hackers using personal information against its owner.

The biggest culprit is social media. Whenever a person updates their status on any of the many platforms, they are giving away information about themself which artificial intelligence can capture.

Through this means, hackers can develop a profile on anyone and their personal habits, including where they bank, where they eat and which gym they frequent.

Most people don’t realize they are making it easy for hackers to target them by announcing their profiles to the world.

Avoid free services Do not use free services, such as Wi-Fi, email and cloud data storage. While many of these online services are household names and extremely popular — such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger — they are all inherently insecure.

In addition, personal privacy is compromised whenever a person uses them.

Remember the old saying, “Nothing is really free?”

The business model of free services is based on advertising and through their careful monitoring of the habits of their users.

Countless millions of individuals are inadvertently handing over their personal data to these companies, which they turn around and sell to other businesses.

Consider encryption Consider using an encrypted email service to protect the privacy and security of all messages. If a person insists on staying with G-mail, Yahoo mail

or any of the other many free email services, they should assume their messages can be read by anyone. Therefore, do not send anything sensitive or personal via these email services, such as credit card numbers and passwords.

Public Wi-Fi issues Always remember that when a person connects to Wi-Fi in a coffee shop, hotel or airport, they are inadvertently exposing themselves to virtually every single person who is logged on at the same time. Many hackers hang out on public Wi-Fi just waiting for the opportunity to strike.

Apps and banking Do not do online banking through apps. Apps are created by third-party developers and there is no way to know if they are secure. A person’s life savings could be wiped out simply by using an app with security holes.

Change passwords Everyone has heard this a million times, but do not use the same password for all personal accounts and be sure to change them regularly. The easiest way to handle this is through an inexpensive password manager.

Full repeal of S.B. 2001, Tax Restructuring Revisions, announced SALT LAKE CITY – Gov. Gary R. Herbert, President J. Stuart Adams and Speaker Brad Wilson issued the following statement regarding the full repeal of S.B. 2001 on Jan. 23: “As elected officials, we are committed to crafting policy that addresses the challenges we face, enhances the quality of life for all Utahns and has the support of the public. In recent weeks, it has become clear that many people have strong concerns regarding legislation passed in December to restructure and revise our tax code.”

“They expressed their concerns by signing a petition to include a referendum on the ballot later this year.

We applaud those who have engaged in the civic process and made their voices heard.

We are not foes on a political battlefield, we are all Utahns committed to getting our tax policy right. That work is just beginning.”

“When the 2020 general legislative session opens Jan. 27, legislative leaders will introduce a bill to repeal the changes made in the special session. The intention is that the bill will be ready for the governor’s signature before the completion of the first week of the session.”

“Once the repeal is signed into law, the legislature will

begin work under the reinstated tax code to prepare the fiscal year 2021 state budget. Repealing S.B. 2001 will enable the legislature to draft the budget without the uncertainty of a referendum potentially changing the tax code midway through the budget year.”

“The original challenge we worked to address lies before us still. Crafting the right policy is critical to our state’s long-term success.

Utah has never shrunk from a challenge and, working together, we will chart the right path forward.”

“We will take time to reset and address this issue in the future in a way that allows all Utahns to fully understand the challenge we face, engage in the debate over the best solutions and, ultimately, enact policy that best positions Utah for decades to come.”

“We are elected to represent our constituents by understanding the issues we face as a state, debating proposed solutions and adopting the right policies.

We are encouraged by the high level of interest in this issue and we hope those who signed their names to the petition—and all Utahns—will be engaged as we work together to craft the right policy.”

She married Craig Smith on Nov. 5, 1971. She was firm in her faith as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where she served in many callings including 13 years of dedicated service in the Manti Temple.

She was a loving example to all who knew her, but particularly to her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Joan never had a negative word to say about anyone and often encouraged others to do the same.

Throughout her life she also influenced many members of the community through her service as a volunteer at Sanpete Valley Hospital, and as a paraprofessional at Mt. Pleasant Elementary for over 25 years, where she enjoyed helping hundreds of students learn to read. Her favorite responsibility there was playing kickball with the students at recess.

Earlier in her life, she enjoyed playing various sports including softball and volleyball. She was also a champion bowler on her league. Her family has fond memories of her enthusiastic love of watching BYU football and the Utah Jazz.

She is happily reunited with

her parents, Clyde and Dorothy Newman, sister-in-law, Sharon Newman; son in-law, Jared Tippetts; along with other extended family and friends.

She is survived by her children, Melanie (Justin) Swain; Paula (Jared) Tippetts; Ron (Kiersten) Smith; and Ryan (Hillary) Smith.

She is also survived by 21 grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and her brother, Robert (Carolyn) Newman, and Joyce (Dean) Durrant. Those closest to her describe her as one without guile, resilient, strong, loving, patient, kind, understanding, quietly comical and occasionally “Hangry.”

Above all, she was one who continually rose above her challenges without complaint. Her lasting legacy will be that of love and kindness.

XXXX, XXXX, 2019 | B1 Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m., Friday, Jan. 31, in the Mt. Pleasant Third Ward, 295 South State Street.

Gary & Beverly DeMille LAVERKIN — Gary DuRell DeMille, 82, passed peacefully at his son’s home Oct. 4, 2019, with his family at his side.

Beverly Dawn DeMille, 84, followed on Jan. 14, 2020, when she passed away at her daughter’s home in Cedar City due to causes incident to age and a desire to join Gary.

Beverly was born Dec. 2, 1935, to Dean and Reva Williams Palmer in Blackfoot, ID. In her growing up years, she was chief caretaker of her younger sister, Madlyne, due to many long absences by their divorced mother.

Beverly and Madlyne lived with many extended relatives and are forever thankful for the kindness and care offered to them. It was a hard life, but they had each other and the Lord truly looked out for them.

Gary was born Oct. 24, 1936, to Sheldon and Verda DeMille in a log cabin in LaVerkin. He was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and had a firm testimony of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and he strived to live his life in accordance to their teachings.

Beverly met Gary, they fell in love and were married Oct. 16, 1954, and later sealed in the St. George Temple April 21, 1955.

The couple made their home in LaVerkin and raised five children. However, due to transfers in work, they also enjoyed living in June Lake, CA; Sugar City, ID; Hibbard, ID; Mt. Pleasant and LaVerkin, UT. Beverly was also a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She was honored to serve the Lord in many capacities and with many age-groups. She served as Relief Society president

three times in her life and worked in the Primary, Scouts, Young Women and wherever the Lord called her.

She was kind, loving, caring and served people. She especially loved children. Beverly adored her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Beverly was like a kid; she was impulsive, mischievous, fun-loving and adventurous.

She loved the outdoors and instilled that in all of us.

Gary and Beverly served two missions to the Philippines for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

They are survived by their children Lorinda (Jerry) Tidwell; Faylynne (Robert) Argyle; Ben (DeAnn Newson) DeMille; Kenneth (Laurie Godfrey) DeMille; and Mike (Debra Washburn) DeMille; 27 grandchildren and 48 great-grandchildren.

Granary Arts presents three new exhibitions EPHRAIM—Three new exhibits will open Wednesday, Feb. 12 and showcased with an opening reception Friday, Feb. 28, from 6-8 p.m., at Granary Arts gallery, 86 North Main Street, Ephraim. Open hours are Wednesday – Saturday, 11-5 p.m. Admission is free.

The main gallery will feature “The Rhizome Remains” by Kari Laine from Feb. 12-May 2.

The upper gallery will feature “Tingoi” by Adama Delphine Fawundu from Feb. 12-May 2. The CCA Christensen Gallery will feature “Honor and Dissonance” by Jan Andrews, from Feb. 12-Mar. 20.

The Rhizome Remains Created by Kari Laine and curated by J. Sybylla Smith, The Rhizome Remains is inspired by the botanical term “rhizome” and its philosophical counterpart, which suggest that all things are connected.

Laine’s exhibition hints at a hope for the future. People are all entangled; past and present, inanimate and organic, invisible and visible. Each aspect of the environment has a lesson to impart.

This work amplifies this agency and honors the wisdom still emanating from these muted voices. Although energy cannot be created or destroyed, vibrant energy of any sort has a life span. Human activity holds a sacred key.

The daily choices people make about how they live are currently the major force

in determining the livability of the planet which sustains them. The past unlocks mystery and beckons people to listen and observe.

The glass-plate photographs in this series are made using a methodical, yet unpredictable, process—an apt metaphor for the lessons that inanimate objects and no-longer living creatures can impart.

For more information about the artist, visit www.karilaine. com.

Tingoi Created by Adama Delphine Fawundu and curated by J. Sybylla Smith in Tingoi, West African deities shape-shift, defy time and elude human form. Embodied through art forms including dance, music, painting and sculpture their powers are transmitted by stories.

As the only child in her immediate family born in America, Fawundu’s connection to Sierra Leone is through stories told by her parents. Her Mende father and Krio mother were raised Catholic in the British colony, Sierra Leone.

In their stories of everyday life, she heard mystical stories of medicine men, Bondo Nomoli’s (masked beings), and Mami Wata – an omnipotent yet elusive water goddess.

Fawundu’s memories inform her latest work where she manifests conversations between multiple African deities and the forceful extraction of her people due to slavery.

Loops and Whirls, a pigment print from glass plate negative, 2019, was created by Kari Laine, as part of “The Rhizome Remains” exhibit.

A screenshot from the film “In Suspect Terrain,” by Jan Andrews, 1997, one-of-two films featured in the “Honor and Dissonance” exhibit.

Aligned with Sodpet, 2017, was created by Adama Delphine Fawundu, as part of the “Tingoi” exhibit opening Wednesday, Feb. 12, in the upper gallery, at Granary Arts, 86 North Main Street, Ephraim. Open hours are Wednesday – Saturday, 11-5 p.m.

These photo-based multimedia works honor the Mende river goddess, Tingoi, the quintessence of beauty. Tingoi expands human imagination to hold all the beauty the world contains.

Fawundu understands deities travel through space and time to inhabit a true world beyond human access. She creates various iterations of these beings as they interfere, intersect and confront current and past social and cultural realities.

Natural elements including hair, textiles and cowrie shells are integral and powerful conduits in her work. Masks, a form of self-preservation throughout the violent histories of Colonialism and the

transatlantic slave trade, are prevalent in her practice.

Honor and Dissonance Jan Andrews has been making films for 37 years and her work is deeply formed by her research and training as an anthropologist, and her travels abroad. This exhibition features two films created 14 years apart, both exploring the delicate landscape of mental states.

In Suspect Terrain is an experimental meditation on amnesia and schizophrenia, examining the injured brain and how it reacts to shattered memory, and complete loss of memory.

The film is based on two friends of the filmmaker who suffered from these conditions, and involves the collaboration of dancers (Gary Vlasic and Linda Smith) to interpret the dissonance in their lives.

Kamikazi (Divine Wind) is an experimental video based on a booklet the Japanese gov-

ernment gave to young men selected to fly planes into enemy ships during World War II. The booklet instructed them how to die with honor for the empire.

NSMS seventh grade students attend career fair RAY LAFOLLETTE

The Pyramid

MORONI—North Sanpete Middle School (NSMS) held a Career Fair for all seventh grade students on Jan. 22. Approximately 220 students were given the opportunity to meet with career presenters and learn about them at the event.

Each of the students received a hand-out to use for collecting information on four careers of their choice. The

students were able to choose from about 18 different careers represented at the fair by volunteer experts and business owners.

Career choices that could be explored included the following: Publisher/journalist, photographer, nurse, equine instructor, welder, business manager, addiction recovery coach, prevention coordi-

nator, mortgage loan officer, forest service engineer, real estate broker, merchandizing buyer, transmission specialist, cosmetologist, nail tech salon, coal quality/logistics, entrepreneur and human resources.

Once each student selected four choice careers, they attended the four booths of choice for up to 15 minutes each to learn about the careers.

Students would learn items such as educational and training background needed, job duties, salary range, work schedule and working conditions.

They also learned what technology and tools are used with each career and some interesting, unknown and unique facts about the career.

After the fair, each student is asked to write about their career experience and tell about what career presentation they enjoyed the most and why.

Each of the students will also do research and consider what they could do during the

next six years to prepare for a chosen career. That research will include learning about what high school courses could help, along with what the potential job availability is in the near future.

Last of all, the research will determine if the career fits inside the STEM field, meaning science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

The fair was organized by NSMS Shop Teacher Corby Briggs, Business Instructor Carey Ivory, Home Economics Teacher Shawnee Sagers and School Counselor Kami Millett who collaborate teaching the school’s College and Ca-

reers Awareness class.

In May, the students will get the opportunity to expe-
