High nitrate level reported in Moroni City water RAY LAFOLLETTE

The Pyramid

MORONI—Moroni City announced that there is an unsafe level of nitrate B in the city water system in Moroni Feb. 26, and has advised that residents should not give city tap water to any infants under six months of age or use it to make infant formula.

Until this issue is resolved, bottled water will be available from 8 a.m.-4 p.m., at the Moroni City Community Center, 80 South 200 West.

Due to a mechanical failure to one-of-two water sources serving Moroni City the city water has an excessive amount of nitrate in it.

According to a notice posted by Moroni City, the nitrate standard, or maximum contaminant level (MCL) is 10 parts per milligram.

What to do 1.) Do not give the water to infants. Infants below the age of six months who drink water containing nitrate in excess of the MCL could become seriously ill and, if untreated, may die.

Symptoms include shortness of breath and blue baby syndrome.

Blue baby syndrome is indicated by blueness of the skin. Symptoms in infants can develop rapidly, with health deteriorating over a period of days. If symptoms occur, seek medical attention immediately.

2.) Water, juice and formula for children under six months of age should not be prepared with the city tap water. Bottled water or other water low in nitrates should be used for infants until further notice.

3.) Do not boil the water. Boiling, freezing, filtering or letting water stand does not reduce the nitrate level. Excessive boiling can make the nitrates more concentrated, because nitrates remain behind when

Due to a reported high level of nitrate B in Moroni City water, residents have been advised to not give any tap water to infants under six months of age or use it to make infant formula. Bottled water is available from 8 a.m.-4 p.m., at Moroni City Community Center, 80 South 200 West. the water evaporates.

4.) Adults and children older than six months can drink the tap water.

Nitrate is a concern for infants because they can’t process nitrates in the same way adults can. However, if you are pregnant or have specific health concerns, you may wish to consult a doctor.

What is being done Nitrate in drinking water can come from natural, industrial or agricultural sources, septic systems and run-off. Moroni City is working with state and county agencies to correct the problem and will make an announcement when the amount of nitrate is again below the limit and safe for infants.

The city is working around the clock to repair the broken source.

Prior to ending the “Do not drink” order, Moroni City will take water samples to ensure the drinking water meets state and federal health standards.

For more information, call Moroni City Hall at (435) 436-8359 or call the Utah Division of Drinking Water at (801) 560-8456.

MP council approves lighting, ordinance change RAY LAFOLLETTE

The Pyramid

MT. PLEASANT—During the regular second city council meeting of February, Mt. Pleasant City Council approved Main Street lighting project requisitions, heard reports from the Youth City Council, city auditor and approved an ordinance change.

Mayor Olsen welcomed all present to the meeting. Council members Rondy Black, Sam Draper and Russell Keisel were in attendance, while Justin Atkinson and Kevin Stallings were both excused. After roll call, agenda approval and approval of claims the council discussed approval of requisitions.

Requisitions Mt. Pleasant Power Department Superintendent Shane Ward addressed the council to seek approval of three requisitions, two of which were regarding the historical lighting in downtown Mt. Pleasant.

He explained that due to recent market fluctuations and concerns about product

Street light energy usage of the new fixtures to be installed in downtown Mt. Pleasant are significantly less than the old lights. (Graphic courtesy of Carson Fillin, Stevens Sales Company) availability, the suppliers of equipment needed for the lighting project have recommended the parts and supplies be ordered now, before prices rise and while the parts are available.

The plan is to order 50 light poles with one of them kept as an extra for future repairs. The installations will hopefully start in about a month, after

parts arrive.

Not all of the installations will include the break-away feature. Only those light poles along highway sections with faster moving (35 mph) traffic.

The light poles located behind businesses will not be breakaway poles.

When asked for a time line for installing the light poles, Ward told the council they

would like to get them done before the flower baskets arrive to be hung for Memorial Day, May 25.

The council approved a requisition in the amount of $174,047.50 for purchase of the necessary parts to install all of the light poles and the spare for parts.

At the same time, Ward requested approval for the required 20 percent down payment for labor by H.C. Fabrication to install the light poles in the amount of $23,398.00.

The council approved the requisition.

The third requisition was for $2,614.00 to pay for the annual oil analysis done on the city substation transformers. This is done each year to help ensure they are operating properly because the replacement cost of each transformer may be $500,000 when necessary to replace them. The requisition was approved.

Ward also provided the council with a light project Please see COUNCIL, Page A3

Keep your hands on your wallets! The Utah State Legislature is in session.

The lawmakers have been going at it for a few weeks now and they finish up the 45-day session next week on March 12th.

My observation, over the years, has been that the real weighty issues don’t really get handled until the very end of the session. Often, some of the most important, financially impactful bills don’t get resolved until the clock is ticking toward midnight of the last day.

That’s about how my life goes. If it weren’t for the last minute, nothing would ever get done.

I could be wrong, but I haven’t heard any talk of the legislature messing around with any of our state symbols. I’m relieved because when they do make changes, it can make more work for me.

For example, years ago, I planted a small Colorado blue spruce tree in the corner of my yard. The reason I chose that tree was because, at the time, it was the official tree of Utah. It’s now a very large evergreen that looks nice in the yard. (I always thought it was weird that the Utah state tree was a tree with Colorado in the name and that our state bird is the California Gull.)

I was glad when the state tree was changed to Quaking Aspen by the legislature back in 2014. A fourth grade school class in Monroe, down in Sevier County, made the case that the blue spruce didn’t represent all of Utah. They pointed out that “quakies” exist in all 29 counties of the state and the kids were successful in getting the state tree officially changed.

What that meant for me was that I had to dig a hole (not easy in my rocky yard), find a little Aspen tree, and get the thing planted. It’s had a rough go of it. I hope it survives this winter. My neighborhood deer, which I attempt to have a peaceful coexistence with, seem to like the tree as much as I do.

According to Wikipedia, Utah has 27 official symbols.

I’m supposing that each one of them had to be presented and debated by our representatives on Utah’s Capitol Hill. I’m not opposed to having official symbols. It’s a good thing as Utahns to let the world know who we are and what represents us.

I’m proud to let my outof-state friends know that Utah has an official state cooking pot. It’s the Dutch oven. (That was designated in 1997) I’m wondering if people in Holland have an official cooking pot? I own two or three or four of our official state pots. How many I have depends on whether I get them back from people who borrow them.

I have mixed feelings about letting people know that the Gila monster is the official Utah state reptile.

It became our state reptile

last year as a result of middle school students lobbying the legislature for the new “symbol.” The logic wasn’t the same as for the state tree designation. I don’t think that the venomous lizard exists in all 29 counties.

As far as Sanpete County goes, I don’t feel like maintaining a terrarium in my house to imprison a Gila monster. I don’t know anyone who does. Actually, I believe the only place in Utah they’re found in the wild is Washington County.

Students at Lava Ridge Intermediate School in Santa Clara wrote letters to lawmakers and gave committee testimony. I suspect it was a school project for learning how the legislature works.

Anyway, my favorite part of that process last year to designate a state reptile was a quote by Republican State Senator Todd Weiler. During debate he said, “I have so much enjoyed these emails from these fourth-graders. I did not know the Gila monster stored its fat in its tail, and I felt like we had something in common.”

In 1996, in commemoration of 100 years of statehood, Utah adopted Dubhe (the “h” is silent and the name rhymes with “tubby”) as our official state star.

Dubhe made sense for designation in the centennial year of our state because it was represented that being 588 trillion miles away from earth, light from the star takes 100 years to reach us. (Evidently, it was determined at some point that it was actually 124 light years away) If you know how to spot the Big Dipper in the sky, you’ll be able to find Dubhe.

It’s the top star on the dipper “cup” away from the “handle.” The star below it is Merak. Merak and Dubhe are known as the “pointer stars” used to locate Polaris, the “North Star” – the brightest star in the Little Dipper.

The late Utah Representative Marda Dillree, R-Farmington, sponsored the bill to designate the official star.

She was asked if Utah really needed a state star. Her reply indicated that perhaps we didn’t need one, but that Utah was a diverse state with lots of interests. I guess I can’t argue with that.

Well, this could turn into a long column. We’ve only covered trees, pots, reptiles and stars. That’s four out of 27 official symbols for Utah.

I guess I’ll leave it to you to check out the rest of them on your own. Just as a brief tease, I’ll let you know that Utah has an official insect, fossil, gem, firearm, animal, and dance. We do love our state symbols.

Though not official, a simple resolution by the senate of the state of Utah designated Green Jell-O as a favorite snack food of Utah.

I take (and make) my green Jell-O with pineapple tidbits mixed in and miniature marshmallows on top.

Narconon Narconon reminds families that an addict typically does not like being an addict. After a while the lifestyle they live while being addicted to drugs and alcohol gets old. So then one would ask, why they don’t just stop? It is confusing for people who don’t understand addiction. The drugs have become a solution to a life problem. This can only be handled by going to treatment. Don’t just assume it’s a phase, it will end, or they will get tired of it eventually.

Then people are left to deal with tragic consequences. For more information on how to handle addiction, visit www. narconon-suncoast.org/ blog/why-cant-they-juststop.html. Call today for a no cost screening or referral: (877) 841-5509..

COUNCIL From AA2

summary chart created by Carson Fillin, of Stevens Sales Company. The chart graphically illustrates the power savings of the switch to new light fixtures.

The old lights are a high pressure sodium 250 watt bulb, whereas the new fixture is a 75 watt LED Metroscape that uses significantly less power. It is estimated that when the savings for maintenance and power usage are combined, the savings will pay for the switch to new fixtures in 15.2 years.

It would be nice to say the savings would also cover all the poles and installation costs, but it doesn’t, it only covers the light fixture on top of the pole. When the project is complete, Utah Department of Transportation will reimburse part of the project cost in the amount of $40,000.

Youth Council The Youth City Council reported on their trip to visit the Utah State Capital on Feb. 19, where they met with District 58 Representative Derrin R. Owens and Lt. Governor Spencer Cox and toured the capital and visited the gold room.

For more on this report, see other article in this week’s edition.

City finance audit The annual city finance audit report has been done and was presented to the council

by Jon Haderlie of Larsen and Company, Spanish Fork. Haderlie reviewed the report with the council and stated that the city is in good shape.

He did say that the only is-

sue of concern is outstanding checks. When checks have been issued for payment of services, sometimes the checks are not cashed on a timely basis or never cashed and those checks end up on the records as having been spent but not cashed.

According to Utah Law, after a specific period of time, a check that has been issued, if not cashed, needs to have those funds turned over to the State Treasurers Office and placed into the lost funds to be claimed department.

While speaking with Haderlie, Mayor Olsen reported that one of the problems the city is currently dealing with is an invoice for services that came into the city office 18 months after the services were reportedly completed.

He said, not only is the invoice way late, but now an investigation will have to be done to determine whether it is a valid claim and whether it may have already been paid.

This investigation requires employee time and the expense for that time could have been eliminated by the company it they had sent their invoice right after having done the work.

Ordinance change The Mt. Pleasant City council discussed the ordinance that was enacted to set city council meeting times and approved amending it to change the second monthly council meeting start time from 4 p.m., to 6:30 p.m., on the fourth Tuesday of each month.

With that change, Mt. Pleasant City Council meetings will take place on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m.

Visiting Grandparents performed at NSMS RAY LAFOLLETTE

The Pyramid

MORONI— North Sanpete Middle School (NSMS) student actors performed the comedy play, “Visiting Grandparents” Feb. 26, on stage at the middle school in Moroni.

The play was performed by two talented casts composed of students from the fourth

and fifth period Theater Foundations classes. Those who came to see the performance donated canned food for the school program that provides food for needy students.

Visiting Grandparents, by Kim Markworth, is a comedy about some children who go to a retirement home for former entertainers to see their grandparents who they hav-

en’t seen for years.

What they encounter are a lot of unusual characters who seem to think they are the characters they used to portray in the movies. There are vampires, royalty, clowns, George Washington, a famous detective, wacky doctors and chickens!

The people in the retirement home are actually put-

ting on a performance for the children who think this is a most exciting day as they are reunited with their grandfather, Giggles the Clown, and grandmother, a stunt woman and martial arts expert.

“The students have worked hard to develop their talents and have done an excellent job,” said Director Kim Markworth.

Aspen Village residents urged to attend meetings March 12 cuss a $250,000 grant, plus matching funds from Mt. Pleasant City, to upgrade the water, sewer and roads in Aspen Village.

For example, this project will enable residents to have a water meter for their home.

All residents need to know what this project will address and the coming construction efforts.

At 5 p.m., staff members

from the Six County Association of Governments and representatives from banks and other lending institutions will be in attendance to help residents, if desired.

Those residents who are interested in making the transition from their current mobile home to a new manufactured home will have the opportunity to get answers to any questions they may have.

In addition, other housing information will be available, along with zoning ordinance information to help residents understand what can and cannot be done in the Aspen Village subdivision.

Mt. Pleasant Mayor Michael Olsen encourages all Aspen Village residents to make this set of meetings a priority and plan on being in attendance.

derstanding of how America got into trouble, and no realistic idea of what to do about it.

It is his belief that for America to truly become great again, the people must take on the responsibility of becoming educated citizens.

For decades most Americans have been too complacent in the illusion that their heritage of freedom and opportunity are secure. But real-

ity is now staring us in the face as our Constitution is threatened by the powerful effort of “Con-Con” supporters.

He says our solvency is overwhelmed by an ever-spiraling debt load. The voice of the people is being ignored by the proliferation of state and federal representation, some of whose only interest appears to be in furthering their political careers.

Smith recommends the people follow the advice of one of the founding fathers, Patrick Henry, who on March 23, 1775, said, “For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it might cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.”

During the building tour, the YCC members were given the opportunity to go into the gold room, which was a special occasion because the gold room is reserved for significantly important leaders of the U.S. and other countries during visits.

Ambassadors from Israel, leaders from Russia and many United States Presidents have visited in and used the gold room for meetings of great importance. To sit in the same chairs at the same table and imagine those important visitors was great.

Lt. Governor Cox talked with the YCC members and explained his duties at the capital and for the state. Lt. Gov. Cox told the youth how thankful he is for what he has and what he can do for the people of Utah. The youth reported that Cox answered all of their questions, even ones not related to politics.

Lt. Gov. Cox told the youth that “All of us have a duty to give back.” The youth were impressed with him and expressed that they feel he is loyal to Utah and will do everything in his power to help everyone.
