RICHFIELD — Six County Association of Governments Aging Services recently announced it is working with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to bring the Veteran Directed Home and Community Based Services (VDHCBS) Program to Rural Utah.

The VA has worked to expand the VDHCBS program throughout Utah and is now available in all but three counties in Utah. Veteran-Directed Care is for veterans who need skilled services, case management, and assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, getting dressed or instrumental activities of daily living such as fixing meals or taking medicine; and are isolated or their caregivers experiencing burden.

all they do and told the youth how he became Lt. Governor and gave them a tour of his office. He also answered any questions the council had. At the Salt Palace, Governor Herbert addressed the youth and then lunch was served. During lunch, Rep, Derrin Owens, District 58, acknowledged the group and asked to meet with them sometime in the future. “It was a very worthwhile trip for our youth meeting the impressive legislators and touring the capitol”, said Coleen Oltrogge, advisor.

MT. PLEASANT — Despite playing much better basketball, the Lady Hawks of North Sanpete are still struggling to break into the win column as the regular season winds to a close. The North Sanpete girls’ basketball team dropped three games this past week, losing to South Sevier in Monroe, before dropping games to Grand and San Juan at home to end the week. The Lady Hawks and Lady Rams of South Sevier played really close in the first quarter. Led by 10 points from sophomore Sarah Oldroyd, North Sanpete kept pace with South Sevier and trailed by just 11-9 at the end of the period. In the second quarter though, everything went the way of the Lady Rams. South Sevier poured in 21 points against the Sanpete players, while the Lady Hawks were unable to score. Kaylie Jenson had 15 points for South Sevier, while Mattie Blackburn contributed 12

points and Kenzie Jones added 10. Down 32-9 to begin the second half, all North Sanpete could do was fight to make the score respectable, but the Lady Hawks fell 50-25. Grand The two games at home were much closer for North Sanpete. On Friday night against Grand, the Red Devils came out in a 1-2-2 halfcourt trap that bothered the Lady Hawks offense some and kept them from getting the offense started. Grand also took full advantage of a size differential on the inside and ran their offense through 5’11” Veda Gritts, who wasn’t only tall, but also had a wide body that made her tough to defend. The Red Devils would dump the ball into Gritts and then send Hannah Own streaking through the paint on a give-and-go, or Gritts herself would take the ball to the basket. Those two players combined for 35 points in the game. Please see LADYHAWKS, Page A6

Power in the people Dear Editor: Concerning what Churchill called, “profound significance of human choice, and the sublime responsibility of men” we find in the Declaration of Independence the phrases of self-evident truths that, “all men are created equal,” and endowed with certain inalienable rights. Among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, to obtain these rights government is instituted, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Preamble to the constitution starts “We the people.” The Utah constitution Sec. 2. All political power is inherent in the people; and all free governments are founded on their authority for their equal protection and benefit, and the people have the right to alter or reform their government as the public welfare may require. Utah Constitution. Sec. 26. The provisions of

this Constitution are mandatory and prohibitory, unless by express words they are declared to be otherwise. Sec. 27. [Fundamental rights.] Frequent recurrence to fundamental principles is essential to the security of individual rights and the perpetuity of free government. There is in Utah legislative committee a bill calling for a constitutional convention supposedly to limit the federal government’s expenditures. By the conventions authority (if it passes ¾ of the states) they may rewrite the constitution as the original founders did to the articles of confederation. By the means of this power we as a nation are in danger of losing rights enumerated in the constitution with the hope of limiting the federal government. Why should they honor a new restraining law where they now ignore the restraints of the present constitution?

Fundamental rights have been eroded by the negligence and ignorance of the people to the gaining of power of the government bureaucracies. This is a natural occurrence due to the nature of government. The bureaucrats are hired full time to regulate and enforce. The professionals, (politicians) who are supposedly there to protect our freedoms are more interested in getting elected by catering to special interests. They are interested in preserving their power over the people, but the people do have the power to vote them out of office. The judicial has been in the same mode. They have circumvented people’s rights of judicial action to expedite the many laws controlling every aspect of public and personal life. For instance in the final in-

structions to the jury the judge will read the instructions “If you find the defendant broke the law you must find him guilty.” This statement strips the jury “people representatives” of the power to negate laws of the legislature by their own conscience, or in consideration of the circumstance. This power is set by old tradition of trial by jury of your peers and expressed in Utah Constitution Sec. 15. “and the jury shall have the right to determine the law and the fact. “ The people err from ignorance. Schools need to teach principles of freedom and responsibility. I am encouraged by the self-education found in Internet use, rather than the traditional thought which is contrary to their freedom and self-interest, namely larger government. Frank M. Crowther Ephraim

Living, dying MERRILL OGDEN

When someone would say, “I’m going to go take a shower,” my late father-in-law would always say, “I’ve been meaning to talk to you about that.” My wife and I have carried that tradition on in celebration of “dumb dad jokes,” I suppose. Anyway, I was taking a shower the other morning with the radio playing. We have one of those little water resistant radios that can hang from the shower rod. I had KMTI Country Radio playing. The song “Don’t Die Young, Don’t Get Old” by “Little Big Town” came on. The chorus is: “Hey, gonna shine like gold, Take every turn on the winding road; Give me your hand, baby, don’t let go. Don’t die young, don’t get old. Don’t die young, don’t get old. The song was written shortly after the funeral of the sister of one of the band members. It was released last year. Hearing the song seemed to bring thoughts to me of how short life is for all of us in the grand scheme of things. In other words, I was thinking about death. (A great way to start the day, right?) A couple of senior citizens, aged 86 and 92, have passed away in my neighborhood in the past week or so. But the sudden death of a 57- year-old last Friday is where my shower thoughts sort of settled. Elder Von G. Keetch, a General Authority Seventy of the LDS Church, passed away last Friday night. He was a renowned attorney and executive director of the church’s public affairs department. He was thought to be in good health. He died of what were apparently surprise complications from past cancer treatments and a recent respiratory infection. He commented over the weekend that he was having trouble with his voice. He and his wife were in Sanpete the weekend before his passing. They spoke in meetings in Manti on Saturday evening and Sunday during the day. Sunday evening, they gave talks in Ephraim at a devotional for about 700 of the college-age crowd. My wife and I visited a few minutes with them after that event. Most of the young people had bee lined for the cinnamon roll refreshments, so we didn’t have to wait too long before we had an opportunity to say “hello” to the Keetchs. Elder Keetch told several interesting stories and taught good lessons. One lesson he taught, that I’ll remember, was about how easy it is to become distracted in life. He told of one Saturday morning when he and his wife were to be at a church event mid-morning at a temple. He told his wife, Bernice, that he had a quick chore to do before he got ready to leave. He needed to spray the fruit trees in the back of their yard. When he got to the shed where the equipment and supplies for spraying were, he discovered that the shed door was hanging by a single wood screw. He thought that he could hurry to the garage and get some replacement screws. He could quickly took care of the problem, so the door wouldn’t crash down on one

of his kids. Arriving at the garage, he found that his tools, screws, nuts and bolts, etc. were scattered all over the floor. The kids hadn’t put things away after doing something. He figured he could quickly gather things up and put things away. He didn’t want to get a flat tire from an odd nail or screw when he backed out of the garage. In the process of gathering things up, he spotted the electrical tape. That reminded him that he had seen the insulation coming off of a wire on the hot tub when he had been out there with his sons the previous night. He’d better quickly take care of that before someone got electrocuted. At the hot tub, he discovered that the boys had left the cover open and a couple of bushels of leaves had blown into the tub. Oh boy! If he didn’t hurry and get those out of there, they’d suck down into the pump and burn it up and ruin it. The screen net for cleaning the hot tub was back at the shed in the corner of the lot. On his way there, the automatic sprinkling system came on. That was no big deal. He was used to dodging sprinklers. But, the head on one of the sprinklers popped off and there was a 25-foot geyser that needed immediate attention. He could take care of that in quick order because he had an extra sprinkler head on hand. He shut off the water. He was lying in the mud, after having dug up the sprinkler, struggling with the water pipe when he heard something. He heard the sound of his wife clearing her throat dramatically from the balcony on the back of the house. He looked up at her from his position sprawled in the mud. She was in her Sunday best clothes and backlit by the sun, which was peeking over the roof of the house. She asked, in a tone which showed she already knew the answer to the question, “Did we get distracted this morning?” Elder Keetch said that his thoughts went to a hope that this moment wasn’t a foreshadowing of things to come. He hoped that it wasn’t symbolic of him being left behind in the mud while his angel wife moved on to heaven. As it happened, Bernice had given her husband enough warning that he had time to leave all the distractions behind and get cleaned up in time for the event. He was grateful. His story taught several lessons, but the most important, I believe, is to not become so distracted with so many things that nothing of importance ever gets done. All of us face those kinds of challenges in our lives. I like the concept that Pulitzer Prize winning author Willa Cather puts forth in her 1927 novel “Death Comes for the Archbishop.” In the story set in the mid-1800s, Father Latour becomes the archbishop of Santa Fe and dies “of having lived.” I believe that’s the sentiment of the song, “Don’t Die Young, Don’t Get Old.” Elder Keetch did a lot of living in his relatively short life. It’s a pity for those he left behind that there weren’t more years spent here.

Hawks tied for sixth place in season BRAD BENTLEY

Pyramid Sports

MT. PLEASANT — A tough week for the North Sanpete Hawk basketball put three losses on the board and moved the Hawks into a tie for sixth place with the season down to its final two weeks. North Sanpete dropped a 81-68 home game to the South Sevier Rams and then went on the road to face Grand and San Juan and lost both of those to the tune of 59-56 and 76-60, respectively. Two weeks prior, South Sevier had put an old-fashioned whipping on the boys from North Sanpete, defeating the Hawks by an astounding 50 points in Monroe. Coach Cris Hoopes and his team certainly didn’t want a repeat of that scenario and shifted from their customary 1-3-1 zone defense into a 3-2 zone. In the earlier game against the Rams, North Sanpete saw 18 threes rain down on them, and the hope was that this defensive tactic would serve to cool down the outside shooting of South Sevier. With a bucket by the Hawks’ Joseph Garlick to start the scoring, North Sanpete took an early lead, but a three from

Kaetz King of the Rams put the visitors on top quickly. In spite of that, the Hawks played some great defense and were patient on the offensive side of things and took the first quarter with a 17-8 lead. Ed Vazquez was instrumental in the early lead, as the senior center was posting up big on the inside and wasn’t afraid to get on the floor after loose balls on the defensive end. Vazquez ended the game with eight points The second period started with a South Sevier three and the Rams started to heat up. The defense for the visitors began to trap the ball and put pressure on the Hawk ball handlers, but North Sanpete handled things pretty well. The Rams began to hit the long-range jumpers while the Hawks attempted to keep pace with shots mainly coming from inside the arc. At the 5:12 mark of the second, Hoopes called for time, but the huddle did no good for North Sanpete as the Rams scored the next five points, taking the lead away from the Hawks at 25-24. The Sanpete squad battled back to a 33-27 lead but then a technical foul whistled against Brock Bailey ended up in five points for the

Rams without a Hawk possession. The change in momentum set the North Sanpete players back and the 1-2-2 trap being employed by the Rams began to net turnovers for South Sevier. By the end of the half the visitors held a 37-33 lead and had netted nine three-pointers. Once again trying to switch things up, the Hawks started the third period in man defense, and while the change worked against a set offense, it did little to stop South Sevier from scoring off North Sanpete turnovers. With just over two minutes gone in the quarter, South Sevier had gone

up 46-37. Again switching defenses around, the Hawks tried to keep the Rams confused, but South Sevier’s Caleb Barton got hot from outside and hit three-of-his-six threes on consecutive trips down the floor and the Rams ended the stanza with a 63-55 advantage. To begin the fourth, the Hawk defense cooled the Rams down some, but South Sevier took to the offensive boards and several times down the floor got three and four looks at the basket. Added to that, Sanpete continued to struggle with the trap. Despite three players in double figures for the

Hawks, led by Spencer Steadman’s 18 points, the Rams continued to draw away. South Sevier went up by 10 at 70-60 with 3:21 left to play in the game and salted the game away with good shooting from the free throw line. The Rams’ Caleb Barton led all scorers in the game with a hot 34 points en route to an 81-68 South Sevier victory. Grand Red Devils The Hawks then had to go on the road with a three-hour bus trip to Moab on Friday. North Sanpete took care of the Red Devils by 10 in Mt. Pleasant on Jan.5, and for the first three quarters it looked like the Hawks would do it again in the Red Devils own gym. Behind the shooting of Shawn Taylor and Spencer Steadman, who combined for 26 points in the game, the Hawks took an early lead in the game and held onto it throughout the first half. After outscoring Grand 20-15 in the opening period, the Hawks built the lead to 33-27 by the end of the half. Grand continued to struggle to penetrate the North Sanpete 1-3-1 defense in the third quarter. Great defense out at the point by Jalen Sorenson and his replacement, Josh Jackson kept the pressure on the ball. Going in to the fourth quarter, the Hawks had built a 51-41 lead and looked to be cruising to an important road win. There is something to be said about not counting chickens before they hatch. The wheels fell off the North Sanpete offense that had looked so good

in the first three periods. The Hawks were able to muster only five points in the final stanza. Led by Brayden Schultz who dropped in 20 points and had 13 rebounds, and Cameron Hoppensteadt’s 18 points and 12 rebounds, the Red Devils came roaring back with 18 points in the fourth to take the lead as time ran out on North Sanpete, garnering a 59-56 victory. San Juan Broncos Against San Juan the next day, the Hawks never quite got off the ground against the Broncos. North Sanpete lost every quarter to the home team. The trio of Steadman, Taylor, and Sorenson did almost all the scoring for North Sanpete, amassing 47 of the Hawks 60 points, but there weren’t enough scorers in supporting roles. Jaden Torgerson, who gave the North Sanpete players fits when the two teams met earlier, continued to torch the Hawks and put up 22 points and 11 rebounds for the victory. Three other Broncos also scored in double figures to give San Juan the easy 76-60 win. North Sanpete has just one game this week, a Wednesday night game against the visiting Emery Spartans. This will be the last home game for the Hawks so the senior will be honored following the game. The final two games of the regular season will come at Richfield and Manti the following week. North Sanpete will need to win a couple of the final three games to stay in contention for the playoffs.

Manage insects on indoor plants safely MELINDA MYERS

Gardening expert

MUKWONAGO, WI — Winter can be hard on gardeners and our indoor plants. Low light, shorter days and dry air stress houseplants while helping insects thrive. Don’t despair if insects have moved in and house plants are struggling with yellow or speckled leaves. Instead, invest a bit of time and effort managing these pests and keeping those plants looking their best. Start by making sure the plants receive the proper amount of light and water. A healthy plant is better able to resist and recover from insect infestations. Check the plant tag, internet or plant book for the recommended growing conditions. Make needed adjustments to the plant’s care. Then take a closer look at the upper and

lower leaf surfaces and stems of the plants for clues to the cause of the problem. Here are some of the more common indoor plant pests and organic options, safe for children and pets, for managing them. Fungus gnats Fungus gnats are those small fruit fly-like insects that flit around the house. They feed on plant roots and organic matter in the soil. They usually don’t harm the plants, but certainly are annoying. Just sprinkle an organic insecticide like Summit Mosquito Bits, which contain the active ingredient Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis on the soil surface. This naturally occurring bacterium only kills the larvae of fungus gnats, black flies and mosquitoes. Aphids, mites Aphids are common pests

of indoor and outdoor plants. These small teardrop shaped insects suck plant juices, causing the leaves to yellow, brown, wilt or become distorted. They secrete a clear sticky substance known as honeydew. Mites cause similar damage, but are too small to see without a hand lens. If mites are suspected, shake a leaf over a white piece of paper and watch for specks, the mites, moving across the paper. Don’t wait until a webbing can be seen to control these pests. At that point there are thousands of mites making it difficult to control. Both these types of pests can be managed in the same way. Start by placing plants in the sink or tub and knock the insects off the plant with a strong blast of water. Follow with several appli-

cations of insecticidal soap to kill the adults. Repeat as needed. Or suffocate all stages of the insects with a lightweight horticulture oil like Summit Year-Round Spray Oil (SummitResponsibleSolutions.com). Bumps on the stems and leaves of plants that can be easily scraped off with a thumbnail are scales. Their shells protect the adults and eggs from predators, weather and most insecticides. Mealybugs A similar pest, mealybug, has white waxy strands on its body for protection. Mealybugs can be found on stems, leaves and area where leaves and stems meet. Both types of insects suck the plant juices, causing leaves to yellow and plants to decline. Just like aphids and mites,

Aphids, a common pest of indoor and outdoor plants, suck plant juices, causing leaves to yellow, brown, wilt or become distorted. There are safe ways to manage and control them. (Photo by Melinda Myers, LLC) they secrete honeydew. Both are difficult to control and require persistence to control. For mealybugs, remove the hard scale covering with a thumbnail or old toothbrush. Use a cotton swap dipped in alcohol to dissolve its waxy covering and kill the insect. Then spray with insecticidal soap to kill the immature insects. This takes time and persistence to control these pests. Or apply a lightweight horticulture oil, like that used for mites and aphids, to suffocate both the adult and immature stages of these pests. Continue to watch for outbreaks and treat as needed. No matter what products are chosen, natural or synthetic, make sure they are labeled for the plant and pest being treated. And always read

and follow label directions carefully. Investing time in managing pests as soon as they appear means healthy and more attractive plants to brighten the indoor décor now and for years to come.

Jr. Hawk wrestlers place sixth at state RICHFIELD — North Sanpete Junior High wrestling team participated last weekend in the 1A, 2A, 3A, and 4A Junior High state tournament at the Sevier Valley Center in Richfield. The tournament had 35 teams and almost 600 wrestlers competing for state titles in the different weight divisions. The Jr. Hawks had originally registered 22 wrestlers, but due to two last minute injuries only 20 were able to compete. The team has been preparing for state since November, but the two weeks leading up to state the wrestlers where pushing themselves harder than ever. The team was practicing five days per week with practices in the mornings and a two-to-three hour practice at night. Coach Nash Brown wanted to make sure that kids were prepared and ready to leave it all on the mat. There were some unexpected wins, and some upsets, but overall the team did great. With 20 wrestlers, the team placed sixth in 3A and placed 10 individual wrestlers, which is the most the Jr. Hawks have ever placed at state. Krew King lead the team with a third place finish in the 55 pound weight class. Krew is the son of Kris and Jaymie King, Mt. Pleasant. Krew lost a nail biter of a semi-final match to a wrestler from Milford and had to fight his way back to wrestle for third and fourth. Krew won his placement match with a score of 17-0 over Corbyn Robison,Altamont. Kasey Curtis, son of Sam and Marcy Curtis, Fairview; placed fourth. Kasey lost a tough semi-final match to a wrestler from Southern Utah by two points. Kasey started out the season a little rough with four losses at the first tournament of the season, he

(Photo courtesy of Marcy Curtis) put the time needed into the wrestling room to come back and place at state. Kasey lost the third and fourth place match to Ford from Juab. Kylan Taylor also placed fourth at the tournament. Kylan is from Fairview and is the son of Todd and Wendi Taylor. Kylan was able to earn a little redemption by beating a wrestler from Millard early on

in the tournament who had beaten him out of the region tournament a couple weeks ago. Kylan was defeated in his third and fourth place match to Huff from Altamont. Owen Sunderland, a seventh grader from Chester and the son of Chad and Nicole Sunderland placed fifth at the tournament. Owen has came a long way this season and came

out on top of his placing match by pinning his opponent from Millford in the second period. Karson Curtis a sixth grader from Fairview and son of Sam and Marcy surprised everyone, including himself by placing at state. Karson has had a tough season with only a couple wins during the season. Karson pinned Tyler Chirstensen from Millard in the second round to place fifth. McKade Sweat, of Mt. Pleasant and son of Jared and Tiffanie Sweat, joined the team two weeks prior to state and was able to pull off a fifth placement by beating Rees of Bear River 4-2. Placing sixth were Owen Paulsen, and Jamison Poulsen, both Mt. Pleasant, Dylan Whiting, Indianola and Brady Holt, Fairview. The team may be small in numbers but has a lot of proof of hard work and determination. The team is coached by Keaton Cheney and Nash Brown. Nash is a new coach this year and brings a lot of knowledge with him. All the wrestlers were up to the challenge of learning from him. Coach Cheney said he is impressed with the team and how far they have come this year. This is the most wrestlers that North Sanpete has had place at the Junior High State Tournament in at least the last 10 years. “I couldn’t be prouder of my team. Those who listened to what I taught and used it, showed great improvement throughout the season,” Coach Nash Brown said. We lost several matches and to teams at the first of the season but, we were able to beat and overcome in the end.” The middle school team loses nine of their team mates to the high school next year, but is excited to see what the future of North Sanpete Wrestling will be.

LADYHAWKS From A1

The Lady Red Devils took a 19-6 lead in the first quarter and seemed destined to be on their way to a route. Exhorting her team to play smarter and to be more aggressive on defense, Coach Randi Griffith switched up how her post players were defending Gritts, and the change did a lot of good, holding Grand to just two points in the second quarter. In the meantime, forward Anna Wright got hot from mid-range and put in a team high 12 points. Wright was the beneficiary of some good passing by the Lady Hawks that got her good open looks at the basket. North Sanpete closed the gap in the second period to 21-16. The Red Devils scored the first four points of the second half, but again the North Sanpete players battled back to stay down by just five. Grand switched from a 3-2 defense back to man and that kept the Lady Hawks from staying on the comeback trail. Grand extended the lead to 36-25 in that quarter. In the fourth, the defenses kept changing to various zone sets for the Red Devils. North Sanpete got some good looks at the basket but just couldn’t get the shots to fall. Holding the lead, Grand began to take the air out of the ball and took the 49-38 victory. San Juan The next day against San Juan, North Sanpete started off slowly, and watched as the Broncos left the chute with the first eight points of the game. But the Hawks began to take off and dumped in the next six points to make the contest

PROGRAM The veteran chooses who they will hire to provide needed services which could be a family member or neighbor. Six County will provide a case manager to work with the veteran for them to self-direct the care. This program can be used to help veterans continue to live at home or in their community. Veterans and their caregiver have more access, choice and control over their long term care services. The veteran decides on

services that will best meet their needs and may purchase items and services that will help them live independently in the community. Since Veteran-Directed Care is part of the VHA Standard Medical Benefits Package, all enrolled veterans are eligible if they meet the clinical need for the service and it is available. Additional program information and other in home programs available within the Six County region is available through Six County Aging Services (435) 893-0736 and the U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs.

The directors are thrilled with the support of the community and Rocky Mountain Power who have helped this project become a reality. The new lighting will greatly enhance the performances and

create more opportunities for theater productions. Be sure to attend the Casino Star’s spring events to admire the brilliant new lights: Snow College, Eastern Arizona College, and GVHS Vocal Ensembles will perform on March 7, and a favorite magician, Jason Andrews, will mystify and delight audiences on May 9.

The Utah Shakespeare Festival’s Touring Production of “The Tempest” is scheduled for two performances on April 19, a school performance in the afternoon and a public performance at 7 p.m., both at the high school. The Casino Star Theatre is a non-profit foundation and all proceeds from movie sales are

donated back to the renovation of this 106 year old historic gathering place. But it takes more than the small profit from ticket sales to build a theatre, it takes donations, grants, and community support. The directors have worked to accomplish a project each year in rebuilding and enhancing this iconic theatre since it was

close again. The Lady Hawk defense played well, and on offense North Sanpete showed some of that good passing that was unveiled the previous night. Beginning the second quarter down 13-10, North Sanpete continued to play good defense but ran into a cold spell on the offensive side of the floor and struggled to get any scoring going. No Lady Hawks finished in double figures, but Oldroyd led the way with nine points and post player, Halli Bennett added in eight. Even with the offensive struggles, North Sanpete still was hanging close and only trailed by five, 21-16 at the end of the half. The third quarter was a difficult one for the Lady Hawks. San Juan came out much more aggressively on defense and also on the offensive boards. The Broncos scored the first five points of the half to go up by 10, and San Juan’s Bodell Nielson began to get hot. The junior forward had a very nice 24-point game for the Broncos, including three makes from downtown. San Juan outscored the Hawks 14-7 in the third period, opening up a 35-23 lead. Half way through the fourth quarter, the offense and the defense of the Lady Hawks really picked up and North Sanpete was able to close that 12-point deficit down to 3831, but that was as close as it would get. The Broncos would hit enough of their free throws down the stretch to hold onto the lead and take the 46-34 victory. North Sanpete has just one game this week, a road trip to Castle Dale to take on the Emery Spartans on Tuesday (results not available at press time).
