Group’s flag to commemorate Utah’s 125th anniversary BY CONNOR RICHARDS
The Pyramid
The Provo-based Organization for a New Utah Flag is pushing for a commemorative flag that “tells the story of Utah and its history” to celebrate the 125th anniversary of statehood. The red, white and blue flag is filled with symbolism representing Utah, including a golden beehive symbolizing the “Beehive State” and the state’s motto of “Industry,” according to a press release for Organization for a New Utah Flag. A white star on the flag is meant to represent Utah’s statehood in 1896 and its place

on the U.S. flag, while the flag’s crossroad design “symbolizes Utah’s place as ‘The Crossroads of the West’ with the joining of the Transcontinental Railroad at Promontory Point in 1869.” The red represents the red rocks of southern Utah, while the white and blue represent the snow-capped Rocky Mountains and Great Salt Lake, respectively. The five sections of the flag represent the five Native American tribes in Utah: the Ute, Paiute, Navajo, Shoshone and Goshute. “We wanted to design an impressive new state flag that would meet all the criteria; that

is, to be bold, simple and unique, while honoring Utah’s great history,” said Richard Martin, chair of the organization. “A flag that anyone can easily recall and replicate. We feel that this new design perfectly exemplifies that goal.” The flag design is similar to one that the group proposed to be the new state flag in 2019. After the effort to change the state flag failed to make it through the Utah State Legislature, Jonathan Martin, the spokesman of the organization and designer of the flag, said the Please see FLAG, Page 2

House OKs modifying process for prescribing opiates BY CONNOR RICHARDS

Daniel George, Manti, Utah, 2018
Daniel George: God To Go West God to Go West explores the contemporary landscape of Utah in relationship to the state’s religious history. After their arrival to the area in the mid-1800’s, Mormon settlers and their progeny named, or in many cases renamed, more places and geographic features than any other group or people. The nomenclature directly references their books of scripture, the Bible and The Book of Mormon. Because names have the ability to mediate qualities
and meaning attached to a place, and are a vital part of individual and collective memory, it is evident the early settlers intended to create a utopia by association. George’s photographs are an investigation of this romanticized notion, and the effect that language, religion, and history has had on land use and interpretation in this region of the country. In the visual tradition of the Western photographic surveys, he documents a place that is paradoxically defined by idyllic optimism, and characterized by unavoidable incongruity.
In these images, George ultimately examines the interconnection of place and culture as it relates to communal and personal identity.
About the Artist
Daniel George is a photographic artist whose work is rooted in the medium’s documentary tradition and explores the interconnection of place and culture as it relates to communal and personal identity. Having lived as a transplant in various locations throughout his adult life, he uses the camera to study defining characteristics
of the communities within which he resides. The resulting photographs are his attempt to visualize and understand the idiosyncrasies of human activity in these local cultures. George’s work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions across the United States, and has been published internationally in both print and online publications. He is based out of Vineyard, UT, and is a current artist-in-residence at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art. www.danielgeorgephoto.net
The Utah House of Representatives unanimously approved a bill on Monday that would require medical providers to consult with other providers before issuing long-term prescriptions for opiates or benzodiazepines to patients. House Bill 15 states that before issuing a prescription longer than 30 consecutive days for an opiate, like oxycodone and hydrocodone, or a benzodiazepine, like Valium and Xanax, providers must check the controlled substance database to see if the patient “has received a high risk prescription that is currently active from a different practitioner.” Before issuing a prescription, H.B. 15 would require practitioners to contact and consult “with each practitioner who issued a high risk prescription that is currently active to the patient” and document in the patient’s medical record “that the practitioner made contact with each practitioner.” Additionally, providers would be required to document “why the practitioner believes that the patient needs multiple high risk prescriptions from different practitioners.” Failure to comply with the requirements outlined in the bill would be considered “unprofessional conduct.” “This is a bill, one of many bills that we’ve considered, that deals with our opioid epidemic and tries to make a small change in a direction of more safety in the way that we prescribe and that providers

Karren Ruth Shaw Ackemyer-Aubrey
Thomas Eddie Lund
1943-2021
Karren Ruth Ackemyer-Aubrey passed away Wednesday, January 27, 2021 in Fountain Green, Utah. She was born September 13, 1943 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Glen Charles Shaw and Gladys Lucille Stephenson. Karren met and married the love of her life, Thomas Ackemyer-Aubrey in the Mt Timpanogos Temple. Their life together was one of great love, tenderness, and respect. They enjoyed traveling to many places together. Thomas and Karren came to Fountain Green, Utah thirteen years ago, moving from the fast pace of city life to the quiet country life which fit them perfectly. They made many friends and loved the Sanpete Valley. Karren was a unique and intelligent person. She was always willing to lend a hand and reach out to others. She was selfless--always putting other’s needs ahead of her own. She had a fun and delightful sense of humor. Her laugh was infectious and

group saw an opportunity to propose a flag in 2021 to commemorate Utah’s 125th anniversary of statehood. “It’s about creating a symbol of pride that’s easily identifiable, that stands out,” he said in an interview Friday. In a January 2020 survey conducted by Organization for a New Utah Flag that more than 200 individuals responded to, about 80% of respondents said they thought Utah lawmakers “should approve the creation of a new state flag,” while just over 4% said a new flag shouldn’t
she was so easy to be around. She loved to play games and was an avid competitor. Karren was blessed with many talents that she used to bless the lives of others. She was an extraordinary seamstress and made clothes, costumes, blankets, and many other items. She was also known for her cross-stitching, knitting, and cooking. She had a vivid memory of many events in her life. She often talked of the great

About 15% said they didn’t feel strongly either way. “The reality is, as straightforward, as harsh of a reality it is, Utahns don’t identify with the Utah flag,” Jonathan Martin said. “They just simply don’t.” Additionally, over 93% of survey respondents said they had never owned a state flag, and only 3% said they currently owned one. Jonathan Martin said that a new flag design could help “generate revenue and income for the state of Utah,” noting that sports teams like the Phoenix Suns, Houston Texans and Houston Astros
love she had for her parents and how she respected and treasured their words of wisdom; often leaning on them for instruction and lessons in life. Karren’s life was not an easy one. She experienced great sorrows with the early passing of her son, Jeffrey, and the passing of her great love Thomas. Through these heartbreaking trials, she never gave up or felt sorry for herself. She would pick herself up and go forward. She was a great example of “enduring to the end.” Karren loved to serve others. She was an ordinance worker at the Manti Temple. A duty she loved and gained much from. She was deeply religious and had a great love and testimony of her Savior. She is one who could be classified as “true blue through and through.” She was always willing to stand for what was right and what she believed in. We will miss her but carry her memory in our hearts. She will not be forgotten.
have designed jerseys and logos that incorporate state flags and colors. “It’s these opportunities for branding and merchandising that frankly Utah misses out on,” he said. But most importantly, said Jonathan Martin, who is originally from Texas, the design is meant to make Utahns proud of their flag. “People from around the world know what the Texas flag is. And then you look at Utah’s flag and people are like, ‘What is that?’ ” he said. This general session, Sen. Dan McCay, R-Riverton, is sponsoring a bill that would create a State Flag Task Force

Karren is survived by her two brothers: Glen (Pon) Shaw and David Shaw both of Orem, Utah, grandchildren of West Valley, Utah and many nieces and nephews whom she adored. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, son, Jeff, and her three sisters Bernadine, Marilyn, and Suzanne and two brothers Robert Shaw and Brent Shaw, A viewing will be held Tuesday, February 2m 2021 from 6-8 pm in the Fountain Green LDS Church located at 151 South 200 West in Fountain Green, Utah.

to review proposed flag designs and provide a written report and recommendations to the legislature “for the design of a new state flag of Utah” and “proposed legislation designating the new state flag of Utah, which may include a recommendation to designate the current state flag of Utah ... as the official state ceremonial flag of Utah or other designation to recognize that flag’s historical significance.” Senate Bill 48 received a favorable recommendation from the Senate Government Operations and Political Subdivisions Committee on Friday with a 3-2 vote. Jonathan Martin said he hoped state lawmakers would see the 125th anniversary as a chance to celebrate statehood with a new commemorative flag. “We only get one shot at commemorating an anniversary of statehood such as this,” he said. “We won’t get another one for at least 25 years.” To learn more about Organization for a New Utah Flag and its push for a commemorative flag, visit the nonprofit’s website at http://www. newutahflag.org.

Predictions for 2021
T
his time of year, there are many who like to make predictions about the future year. There are always people predicting what is in store for the world and, for that matter, the end of the world. There are always lots of political predictions. I believe that we deserve to have some “close to home” predictions, just for us in Sanpete. I’ve been thinking about it a little. I dusted off my crystal ball and here’s what I see for Sanpete in 2021. The 2020 Tokyo Olympic Summer Games, already postponed and in jeopardy, will be saved by being transferred to Sanpete County, Utah. Mitt Romney will take a leave of absence from the Senate and chair the organizing committee. The Games will be held at Snow College with a few socially distanced spectators, but broadcast to the world. World records will be broken. President Biden will declare a new national park in Sanpete County — Skyline Mountains National Park. Fairview will be the site for the visitor’s center. Sanpeters will be divided over the announcement. Those in favor will be happy that Skyline Drive will be paved and bad weather rescues reduced. The Sanpete County commissioners will announce plans for a new high-rise skyscraper enlarging space at the county courthouse complex in Manti. The prospect of new, luxurious, county commission chambers on the sixteenth floor will be opposed by some calling it a modern day “Tower of Babel.” Gold, silver, and incredibly, diamonds will be discovered and mined in Sanpete. A Mercedes dealership will open in Chester, a Porsche dealership in Axtell, and a Subaru dealership in Spring City. A Sanpete Lottery will be started up for purposes
of funding the widening of Highway 89 to four lanes throughout the county. The first “scratch off” game cards will be called “Turkey Treasure’ and “Skyline Shekels.” A new gigantic convenience store will be located in Indianola and will sell more lottery tickets than Malad, Idaho. The Sanpete Planning and Zoning/Building Inspector’s offices will offer special building permits allowing anyone to build anything anywhere. The fee for the special permit will be $50,000 each. Money generated will fund the new county skyscraper office complex. The Sanpete turkey industry will skyrocket with the discovery that high turkey consumption lessens the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, hair loss, nasal congestion and the common cold. Wal-Mart will do a major remodel to its current Sanpete store. It will no longer be a “one door” Wal-Mart. The floor space will be doubled. There will no longer be shortages of Hostess Sno-Balls, distilled water, Bounty paper towels, and Slim-Fast Advanced Nutrition Chocolate protein shakes. (Now you know what I shop for) Bill and Melinda Gates will move to Sanpete County. They will build a modest 30,000 square foot home in Fountain Green and buy a small herd of sheep. Now down to $95.4 billion in his “pocket,” and ranked as the second richest man in the world, Bill will reveal that it was time to downsize. And finally, Sanpete’s population will increase by several thousand people. Uncertain times will have people “heading for the hills.” Sanpete has good hills. It will be interesting to see what the new year brings. Regardless of what actually happens, here’s to a safe, successful, healthy and happy 2021. — Merrill

Treat Yourself
It can be a challenge to make the time to rest our minds, relax and find peace. But it is definitely worth the effort. According to a study reported at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University (http://csbsju.edu/ chp/counseling/self-care/relax-meditate), chronic stress may be linked to many physical illnesses and can negatively affect our mental health. The study showed that: nn 43% of adults experienced adverse health effects from stress. nn 75-90% of visits to a physician’s office are for stress-related conditions and complaints. nn Stress has been linked to the six leading causes of death: heart disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, cirrhosis of the liver and suicide. Developing the ability to relax is essential to effectively mitigating the impacts of stress and anxiety. How can we learn to relax and enjoy life’s simple moments with all our duties and responsibilities? Meditation may be the answer. Consider this information. Meditation has been used for
years as a way to increase calmness and help with physical relaxation. Meditation is a combination of the mind and body working together to calm the mind and help us find peace. According to the National Center of Complementary and Integrative Health, there are numerous types of meditation, but most have four common elements: A quiet location with few distractions. A comfortable position (sitting, lying down, walking). A focus of attention on something specific. An open attitude to let distractions come and go without judgment. There are numerous benefits to meditation. It calms, restores, reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, frees our mind from worries, helps us focus on happiness, creates a more stable mood and increases our feelings of control over life’s situations. It also decreases muscle tension, helps with weight loss, enhances energy levels, improves memory, promotes greater tolerance, gives deeper spirituality, slows the aging process and helps us put things into perspective. Learning to relax through meditation is a skill that takes time and practice.

From A1
Jann Haworth and Liberty Blake: Work in Progress The Work In Progress Mural is an on-going national and international project that has traveled to over twenty-four venues in four years. The mural celebrates the contributions of women from our past and present who are catalysts for change. Ninety percent of the mural portraits have been made by non-artists from communities in Utah, other states, and abroad. The portraits were collaged onto panels by the artist Liberty Blake.
About the Artists
Jann Haworth is closely associated with the 1960’s Pop art movement in Great Britain and holds two unusual distinctions: a female Pop artist, and co-designer for the Beatle’s Sgt.
Denmark, Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Barbican, London; “London 60’s”, Christies; and Rio Gallery, Salt Lake City. Haworth was a lead artist for nine public works projects in Salt Lake City, most recently the 6000 square foot mural celebrating the ratification of women’s voting rights, “Utah Women 2020” for Zions Bank on the Dinwoody building. She lives and works in Salt Lake City and Sundance, Utah. www.workinprogressmural.org Liberty Blake was born in 1968 in London, England. As the daughter of two artists, Liberty was immersed in art from an early age.
She attended the small arts-centric Looking Glass School in the west of England which encouraged self-expression and creativity. These were formative years, the beginning of her love for adventure, the natural world, and art-making. Liberty attended Sydney Place for art foundation and studied illustration at Bath Academy of Art. In 1997 she moved to Utah, “for an adventure,” where she co-ran the Sundance Art Shack, teaching paper-making, creating posters, and illustration for the Sundance Resort and exhibited her work. In 2007 she participated in the
“337 Project” in Salt Lake City, Utah, where she created the first of many large-scale wall collages, the most recent of which is the “Work in Progress Mural Project”, which recently exhibited at Pallant House, UK. Liberty currently lives and works in Salt Lake City, Utah, making collages inspired by the wild natural places and neglected urban environments that she discovers while adventuring on bikes. Her work is housed in public and private collections throughout the United States and the UK. https://www.libertyblakecollage. com

communicate with each other about high risk prescriptions,” said Rep. Ray Ward, R-Bountiful, the bill’s sponsor. Ward, who is a practicing physician, told his colleagues that opiates and benzodiazepines pose a greater risk to patients “if one prescriber’s writing one of those medicines and a different prescriber’s writing the other medicine, because then it’s coming from two different places.” “And it’s even more high risk than that if those two providers never ever communicate with each other about that,” he said. Ward told his colleagues about a call he received last year from a police officer asking him to sign the death certificate of a 60-year-old woman. Looking into the woman’s death, Ward learned she had been prescribed three prescriptions by three different providers. “Nothing that I could tell (showed) that those providers had visited with each other,” he said. “And she just died from the prescription medicines that she was given that were too much.” Multiple lawmakers spoke in favor of the bill on Monday, including Rep. Jennifer
Dailey-Provost, D-Salt Lake City, who said the changes to the prescribing process were “long overdue.” “I see a great need here,” added Rep. Joel Briscoe, D-Salt Lake City. Rep. Phil Lyman, R-Blanding, asked whether the bill would “make it harder for a patient to get the medication they need,” adding that doctors not only have an obligation “to be careful about the pain medications that are prescribed, but to also make sure that when pain medication is needed that the patient is able to get that.” Ward said the bill would not apply to short-term prescriptions and noted that providers could write prescriptions and contact providers afterward. Before it went to the House floor on Monday, H.B. 15 received a favorable recommendation from the House Health and Human Services Committee on Thursday with a 13-0 vote. Sen. Mike Kennedy, R-Alpine, who won a special election in December 2020 to replace Dan Hemmert, is the Senate sponsor of H.B. 15.

COURTESY SUNDANCE INSTITUTE
A still from “In the Same Breath,” a documentary about the coronavirus pandemic and politics in China.
Sundance From A3
Films, talks and other events will be available on the festival website. Movies also will be shown on satellite screens across the nation in conjunction with health and safety guidelines. “The core of our festival in the form of an online platform and socially distanced cinematic experiences is responsive to the pandemic and gives us the opportunity to reach new audiences, safely, where they are,” Jackson said. More than 70 feature films will screen online in a schedule of three-hour time slots, with a 15-minute interactive waiting room experience before each premiere and a live Q&A afterward. A second screening two days after each premiere will be offered on demand for 24 hours. Indie series and short films will be available on demand throughout the week. The festival is set to open Thursday night with world premieres “In the Same Breath,” a documentary about the coronavirus pandemic and politics in China, and “CODA,” which stars Marlee Matlin and follows a child of deaf adults torn between her love of music and her parents. Also premiering Thursday night is “Summer Of Soul ( ... Or, When The Revolution Could Not Be Televised),” directed by Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson of hip-hop band the Roots. The documentary features unseen footage from the Harlem Cultural Festival, an event celebrating African American music and culture that more than 300,000 people attended in 1969, the same summer as Woodstock. Several projects center on racial and gender equality, including “My Name is Pauli Murray,” a documentary from “RBG” directors Betsy West and Julie Cohen about a civil rights activist who influenced Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Thurgood Marshall. Another documentary premiering this year, “Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street,” explores how a group of rebels created one of the most influential television programs in history. Stars among the lineup include Nicolas Cage in “Prisoners of the Ghostland,” the story of a criminal sent to rescue a woman in a supernatural universe, and Ed Helms in “Together Together,” about the relationship between a single man in his 40s and a young woman hired as his surrogate. The program also includes “R#J,” a modern retelling of “Romeo and Juliet” through cellphones and social media communication, and “The Touch of the Master’s Hand,” a short film in the U.S. Fiction category about a young missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and his pornography addiction.
