Members of the Mt. Pleasant Ambulance Association were recently recognized by Sanpete Valley Hospital with the “Extraordinary Save” award for their part in saving the life of Javon Norman, Mt. Pleasant.

Pictured are left to right: Terry Tuttle, Kent Chapman PA-C, emergency room physician; Angie Stewart, Kari Lewis, Javon Norman, Dr. David Kryzmoski, trauma director and general surgeon; and Elizabeth Ream.

Sanpete Valley Hospital awards ‘Extraordinary Save’ to Local EMS organization MT. PLEASANT — Sanpete Valley Hospital recently recognized Mt. Pleasant Ambulance as the recipients of the hospital’s Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Extraordinary Save award.

The program was originally launched in October 2014, in an ongoing effort from the hospital to acknowledge the heroic work of Sanpete County’s EMS and ambulance team.

“We value our local EMS teams and the vital service that they provide both to our hospital and community. On many occasions, they serve with minimal thanks, recognition and gratitude,” said Aaron Wood, Sanpete Valley Hospital’s CEO. Mt. Pleasant Ambulance was selected for the award based on their large role in helping turn what could have been a tragic event into an incredible story.

On Aug. 16, 2017, Mt. Pleasant EMS was dispatched to a local home, arriving minutes after Officer Nate Taylor, who was first on the scene. Upon arrival, they

discovered that the dispatch was for an accidental gunshot wound to the head of Javon Norman, 10year old son of Tex Norman and Melissa Reese.

Officer Taylor had begun lifesaving actions, which allowed for the EMS team members, Teri Tuttle, Angie Stewart, Kari Lewis, and Elizabeth Ream, to immediately assess the situation and make the call to Sanpete Valley Hospital and initiate a Trauma 1 activation, who then dispatched Primary Children’s Pediatric Team, which resulted in the arrival of Life Flight, shortly after the EMS team entered Sanpete Valley Hospital’s Emergency Room doors.

The emergency room physician, Kent Chapman PA-C, met the EMS Team at the door along with Dr. Brooks Thompson, and Dr. David Krzymowski, trauma director and general surgeon at Sanpete Hospital, with their crew of nurses, respiratory therapists, and radiology technicians ready and standing by to Please see EMS, Page A6

Record splake caught at Joes Valley Reservoir ORANGEVILLE — When Pleasant Grove resident Buckley Jolley felt a heavy pull on his fishing rod, he knew he was close to seeing something extraordinary. It was a weighty realization, knowing a possible once-in-a-lifetime fish was dangling on the end of a seven-pound fly line and fighting to get away.

“He felt heavy,” Jolley says.

“I had to play the fish just right and let him run if he needed to run.” From the shore, Jolley began to see broad flashes of color through the turquoise water at Joes Valley Reservoir in central Utah.

Jolley’s line held, and with some patience and finesse, he landed the fish in about 15 minutes, “which felt more like 30 minutes,” he says. “When I pulled him out,” he says, “I was just amazed at how big he was.

It was pretty epic.”

That fish, a 30.5-inch splake, is Utah’s new catch-and-release record for the species.

The Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) made the new record official on Jan. 24. It supersedes the previous catchand-release record for splake, a 29-inch fish that was also caught and released at Joes Valley Reservoir in 2015.

Splake are a hybrid cross between lake trout and brook trout, and they carry desirable traits from both parent species. Splake provide memorable opportunities for anglers

The DWR recently certified the fish as the largest splake ever caught and released in Utah. (Photo courtesy of Buckley Jolley) while serving as a component of healthy fisheries in lakes and reservoirs.

Joes Valley is home to other species, including tiger muskie and cutthroat, rainbow, brook and tiger trout.

Remarkable as a 30.5-inch splake is, the reservoir is no stranger to big fish.

“That’s the great thing about Joes Valley,” says Calvin Black, the DWR’s assistant aquatics program manager in southeastern Utah. “You always have a chance at a fish like that.”

In fact, biologists predict the reservoir will produce an especially high number of trophy-caliber splake in the next couple of years. Data trends

from annual fall gill net surveys show the portion of splake between 20 and 24 inches long has increased from four percent in 2013 to 34 percent in 2017.

“A percentage of those fish are going to bump up into the 24-inch-plus trophy range,” says Daniel Keller, the DWR’s native aquatics biologist in southeastern Utah. “We’re predicting really good years in 2018 and 2019.”

Biologists attribute the consistent growth to several factors. One is a decrease in Utah chub, a prolific fish species that competes with trout for food and space. Tiger muskies, a top-level predator, have

helped curb chub populations in Joes Valley, allowing trout to survive longer and grow faster, Keller says.

Higher water levels from snow runoff in recent years have also played a part in boosting productivity in Joes Valley.

“We’re right at that nice level where the trout are doing exceptional. Our average splake there is 18 inches,” Black says.

“It seems to be a good balance right now.”

Joe’s Valley fishing tips Jolley caught his record splake in mid-November in 1520 feet of water using a white streamer fly. Similarly, other anglers do well during the fall and spring months, when the trout are feeding in shallow areas (25 feet of water or less).

Tiger muskie fishing picks up during the summer. Most of the best fishing happens before noon or at dusk.

Large trout and tiger muskies prey on chub, shiner and crayfish, so lures that imitate those are especially effective.

When ice fishing, try using brown, green or white tube jigs or spoons tipped with chub meat.

Ice fishing is often best near points of terrain that slope down into the water, where there’s plenty of structured habitat. When fishing from open water, spoons, rapalas and streamers work well for trout and tiger muskies.

Jodi Graham we move forward together into a bright future.”

Utah Humanities engaged in a nationwide executive search process following the announcement of the pending retirement of its Executive Director, Cynthia Buckingham.

The rigorous selection process produced a high caliber of finalists from more than 110 applicants from throughout the United States. Before making the final decision, the search committee conducted multiple interviews with board and staff members, and invited key stakeholders to meet the finalists in a community reception.

“The board has the responsibility of selecting the UH Executive Director,” remarks David Allred, search committee chair

and past chair of Utah Humanities’ board of directors. “It is a task that we know is among the most important we have.”

“Because of this, the board ensured that an expansive and rigorous search was conducted to find the best possible leadership at this time of transition. We have deep respect for Cynthia Buckingham and her transformational leadership, and Jodi Graham emerged in the selection process as our unanimous choice to maintain our important work while bringing new ideas and opportunities.”

“We are very pleased that Jodi has accepted the offer to become Utah Humanities’ next executive director,” says UH’s current board chair, Henry Wurts. “She brings vast institutional knowledge as well as a drive to reach even a broader Utah audience.”

“Cynthia has created the framework for a smooth transition and leaves a legacy of strength that Jodi can build upon. Under Cynthia’s direction, we developed new programs within four Centers of focus.”

“Having participated intimately in that process, Jodi is now prepared to help Utah Humanities expand programming, empower a greater number of Utahns, and promote active engagement in the humanities. We look forward to

Jodi’s leadership, energy, and creativity.”

Cynthia Buckingham has been with Utah Humanities since 1983. She has exemplified graceful leadership, and her priorities included diversifying funding sources, increasing outreach activities, and expanding partnerships.

Buckingham remarks “It has been such a privilege to work with our amazing staff and committed community leaders from all over the state to demonstrate the essential role of the humanities in our everyday lives.”

“I can’t imagine a more rewarding career! I’ll always be grateful for this opportunity, and am delighted to know that Utah Humanities will continue to thrive under Jodi’s capable leadership.”

About Utah Humanities Utah Humanities empowers Utahns to improve their communities through active engagement in the humanities.

UH is funded by gifts from individuals, foundations, and corporations and by the Salt Lake County Zoo, Arts, and Parks Fund, the State of Utah, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Each year, Utah Humanities supports hundreds of educational and cultural programs throughout Utah.

Inside Sanpete, inside Norway MERRILL OGDEN

A few years ago, in April I believe, I spoke briefly to a friend on the street. He was a recently transplanted southern Californian to Sanpete.

As Mother Nature showered us with snowflakes, he remarked that he didn’t “get” the seasons around here.

We were looking at daffodils in bloom as he asked, “In what month doesn’t it snow here in Sanpete?” I replied that I wasn’t sure there was a Sanpete month of non-snow – at least in the mountains.

But I did tell him that I don’t believe I’ve heard of it snowing in the valley in August. But I do know people my age who would sign affidavits that it snowed at least once on the 4th of July on the valley floor.

Our snowstorm earlier this week reminded me of that conversation. After our unseasonably warm winter, so far, we got thrown into some real winter snow and frigid temperatures.

Remembering that conversation made me think of my LDS mission in Norway.

Norway has been on my mind because of the Olympics. If you haven’t noticed, little ol’ Norway has been piling up the medals.

Adding to my Norway thoughts was a recent phone call from a long, lost friend of mine from those days amongst the Norwegians. He lives in Michigan. We had a lot of catching up to do since we hadn’t visited since the mid-1970s.

He asked if I had kept up on my language of the “old country.” I told him I was really quite rusty with it. He casually told me that he’d been keeping his Norwegian up pretty well. He reads at least one novel in Norwegian every year.

Not only that, he’s also learned Russian and Spanish. That was understandable, I told him; since heart surgeons have so much extra time on their hands. He knew I was being sarcastic, of course.

Weather in Sanpete and Michigan can sometimes be like weather in Norway. We used to say that we had two seasons there: white winter and green winter.

We also said that we hoped that summer would fall on a weekend so we could go on a picnic. It wasn’t really that bad, but exaggeration always makes humor better.

Back in the olden days of the early 1970s in Norway, we missionaries were required to wear hats from Oct. 15 to April 15. One of the reasons for us to wear hats was supposedly to protect us from falling icicles.

There were lots of icicles hanging off houses and apartment buildings and we heard rumors of people being killed. But I never believed that my “Dick Tracy” hat was going to give me much

Bail was set at $6,500.

Fidel Zavala Tenorio, Moroni, was arrested in Sanpete County by the Sanpete County Sheriff ’s Office on the charge of open alcohol container in vehi-

protection from a 30-pound lance of ice plummeting towards my noggin.

I did a little research and it seems like more people die of icicle deaths in Russia than about anywhere. Some years back, I read (in English) a strange, murder mystery.

It was a popular novel titled “The Lovely Bones.” I mention it, only because a falling icicle factors significantly into the story.

As far as the hat rule went, I simply thought that we were just being asked to do the sensible thing. When it’s winter in Norway, its cold (duh). So, it makes sense to cover up and stay warm.

Nineteen-year-old American boys in Norway don’t always do the sensible thing when left to their own decisions. So a rule was needed, I suppose.

Every few years, my wife and I drive to the Salt Lake area for a reunion to meet with some of my comrades to remember our missionary experiences. I know a few people here in Sanpete who also spent time in the “Land of the Midnight Sun” under the same “two year plan” as me.

By the way, Norway is also the “Land of the Noonday Darkness” if you happen to be up north there during the winter. But the tourist board conveniently neglects any mention of that aspect of the country.

At the reunions, it’s fun to eat goat cheese covered waffles, salmon, open-faced sandwiches with Jarlsberg cheese and jam, and marzipan frosted blotkake (moist cake).

Sanpete, of course, has a connection with Scandinavia. And it’s more than just our unpredictable, sometimes chilly at the wrong time, weather. Many here in the county are descendants of the early Norwegian, Swedish and Danish settlers.

Maybe that’s why Sanpeters accept the weather without too much complaining. It’s just the way it is. It’s in the DNA of Olsens, Petersens, Nielsens, Jensens and Christensens, etc.

My Norwegian DNA is adopted. As far as I know, none of my O negative blood originated anywhere near Oslo, Stockholm or Copenhagen.

But when it’s time for Scandinavian Days in Ephraim on Memorial Day weekend, I wear my Norwegian tee shirt proudly – even in the occasional end of May snowstorms.

I think Sanpeters “bloom where they’re planted” — or transplanted. People who move here soon “get” how the seasons work around here.

The thing to remember?

There’s nothing to “get.” You just take what Mother Nature deals out and live with it. It becomes part of your Sanpete DNA.

Over easy eggs or scrambled?

LEANNE ELY

The Dinner Diva

FORT MILL, SC — As the weekend is about to happen, I go off script, or in other words, skip my usual smoothie and hop into a breakfast state of mind. I am one of those people who thinks eggs happen to be divine.

Throw in some bacon, some sautéed spinach, and a little sliced avocado. The cook will have just served one of my favorite meals!

Here are some things to know about eggs-First of all, runny yolks means it is much healthier than when it’s blended it up and hardened into scrambled eggs. Why? Well, that egg yolk is full of nutrients, most notably lutein

and zeaxanthin, which two nutrients are known for feeding a person’s eyes and keeping macular degeneration at bay. Those two nutrients get zapped in scrambled eggs, but not when the yolk is runny.

And let’s debunk that whole cholesterol myth once and for all-Does anyone know the whole “high cholesterol” shaming of eggs happened decades ago based on dried egg yolk, not a whole egg?

It’s true--and that dried egg yolk is exactly what I’m talking about when it comes to scrambled eggs; the yolks are oxidized and oxidized cholesterol is an entirely different thing than the regular cholesterol found in poached or soft boiled or any other kind of egg

Hospital births GUNNISON—Babies born at Gunnison Valley Hospital are as follows: Feb. 10 A girl, RittLee Reed Fowles, was born to Kamren and Angela Fowles, Mt. Pleasant. She

weighed seven pounds.

with a runny yolk.

The human body’s cells need cholesterol for a whole host of reasons--the integrity of each cell membrane is cholesterol’s job. Cholesterol is imperative for hormone function, vitamin D and bile acids that digest fat.

Cholesterol is responsible for the cognitive function of the brain, too.

There have been numerous studies debunking the cholesterol myth specifically in eggs: a study published in the Journal of Nutrition showed that one nutrient in eggs called phosphatidylcholine prevented cholesterol from entering the bloodstream.

It’s the difference between cholesterol and oxidized cholesterol--that’s huge!

People need to know that runny egg yolks are much healthier than when it’s blended it up and hardened into scrambled eggs. The egg yolk is full of nutrients, most notably lutein and zeaxanthin, which two nutrients are known for feeding a person’s eyes and keeping macular degeneration at bay.

Preserving history at GBS through partnerships EPHRAIM — USDA Forest Service recently spotlighted the Great Basin Station (GBS) located in the mountains east of Ephraim. It was originally established as the Utah Experiment Station in 1911 by the federal government and has now existed for over 106 years.

Due to citizen requests for assistance, scientists established the experimental station on forest service land where they researched climate, soils, vegetation and grazing to determine how to stop the raging floods that thundered down on valley towns and farms each summer after rainstorms.

During the first few summers, the station consisted of nothing more than a collection of tents.

Construction started in 1912 on the director’s residence, office

and laboratory – which is now a museum, an assistant’s residence — which burned down, and a barn — was built where the parking lot currently is. The Palmer Garage was later built in the 1920s.

Then again during the 1930s, the station was expanded and the Plummer House, South House, Lodge, and several out-buildings were constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC).

The station became a thriving little “community” each summer when researchers, technicians and station employees’ families took up residence. But, over time, the need for on-site research diminished and research was moved from the original site in Ephraim Canyon to more modern facili-

ties in the Shrub Sciences Laboratory in Provo.

The move left a number of historic buildings sitting empty.

The old station sat virtually unused for decades and fell into disrepair. However, due to its historic importance and heritage, Snow College, the USDA Forest Service, and the city of Ephraim partnered to find a way to preserve the facilities.

Now, the Great Basin Station is a renovated U.S. Forest Service research facility with a rich history, and is considered by many to be the cradle of worldwide rangeland and watershed research.

The station is nestled in a spruce, fir and aspen forest on the eastern edge of the Great Basin. Current visitors to the station will find it is comprised

Aaron Wood, hospital CEO, said, “I was observing this amazing team at work and am able to brag about what we have in this little town and how it can be life changing. I was called into Chaplan service that day and even though Javon’s head was not a comfortable place, he received a blessing before leaving on life flight.”

During the presentation, Melissa Reese, mother, expressed a tearful heartfelt

thanks saying she was grateful to each and every one for their help that day. She knew Javon was in good hands. Javon has made a miraculous recovery.

Doctors thought he may have vision problems but he recently underwent an eye exam and they found nothing, his vision is perfect. The only side effect so far has been a few intermittent headaches.

After Javon recovered, he and his mother walked through the hospital handing out donuts to express their thanks to the hospital staff.

“Because of the great communication from the EMS team, everybody was ready and standing by to perform essential life-saving measures as quickly as possible, and safely as possible without delaying transfer to the major trauma center that could provide the care needed,” states Kent Chapman PA-C.
