Girls Who Code clubs to launch statewide in Utah SALT LAKE CITY — In partnership with Adobe, Dell EMC, Girls Who Code and Microsoft, the Utah STEM Action Center recently announced the launch of the Utah Girls Who Code Club Network at Dell EMC. Starting in the fall 2018 school year, nearly 50 clubs will be hosted at schools, community centers, libraries and various organizations. Industry partners will sponsor and facilitate the clubs, creating a unique business and education partnership. More than 200 girls, grades 7-12, from multiple school districts joined industry members recently to kick off the program, listening to remarks given by Lt. Gov. Spencer J. Cox and engaging in a coding activity with Reshma Saujani, CEO and founder of Girls Who Code. “We’re thrilled to have the STEM Action Center expanding Girls Who Code Clubs throughout the state of Utah,” Saujani said. “Their efforts will not only develop the workforce of the future but also make sure our girls are prepared to succeed as a part of that workforce.” Girls Who Code was founded five years ago with the belief that computing skills are a critical path to security and prosperity in today’s job
market. What began with 20 girls in the heart of New York City will reach more than 50,000 girls in all 50 U.S. states by the end of this year. “Through our commitment to Girls Who Code, we are able to raise awareness and visibility of technology among young women and help shatter the perception that the tech industry is only for males,” said Janice Peters, program manager for sustainability and social impact at Adobe. “We’re excited to help kick off this program in Utah to equip young girls with coding and creativity skills that will allow them to share their unique voices, perspectives and ideas.” Girls who join the club are part of a safe and supportive environment of peers and role models and learn about coding and to see themselves as future computer scientists. Beyond the club, girls can tap into an alumni network of tens of thousands of girls across the country that is using computer science to solve problems they care about in their community. “Never before in history has technology been so core to our economy

Prepare now for turkey hunt season SALT LAKE CITY — “Utah’s turkey populations are doing very well, and opportunities for hunters are plentiful, especially in southeastern Utah,” says Morgan Jacobsen, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) conservation outreach manager in southeastern Utah. Get turkey permit Utah’s spring turkey hunting seasons are in April and May. Permits for the April season are available only through a drawing. Hunters can buy a permit for the statewide gen-
eral season, however, anytime between now and when the hunt ends. General-season permits are available at www.wildlife.utah. gov. They’re also available at hunting license agent locations and DWR offices. For more information about season dates and permits, see page six of the 2017-18 Utah Upland Game and Turkey Guidebook.

Labor rationing in Utah’s depression economy Editor’s note: Welcome to the Beehive Archive, a bitesized look at some of the most pivotal and peculiar events in Utah history. With all of the history and none of the dust, the Beehive Archive is a fun way to catch up on Utah’s past. Beehive Archive is a production of Utah Humanities. Meet Barney Flanagan and learn how it fell to him to keep corruption out of government-funded work-relief jobs in Utah during the early years of the Great Depression. When anyone hears about shortages during the Great Depression, they probably imagine breadlines and food rationing. But paid working hours were also in short
supply. And it fell to men like labor inspector Barney Flanagan to ensure fair access to work hours among the growing number of unemployed Utahns. The Depression hit Utah harder than many other states. In 1933, unemployment was the fourth highest in the nation at over 35 percent. The State lobbied Congress to secure $4.1 million in aid for highway construction – and the jobs that went with it. To ensure that work hours were spread around equally, regulations tied to the funding capped workweeks at 30 hours and required that road contractors hire only from approved lists. To prevent the contractors
from giving those hours to family and friends, the Utah State Highway Commission’s hiring committee also determined that once a man reached his 30-hour limit, he was replaced by the next person on the list. At forty-eight cents per hour, work with the Highway Commission was good. A man could earn nearly $15 before giving way to someone else. Barney Flanagan worked as the Highway Commission’s labor inspector – his job was to enforce these rules. Every night, with help from his wife, Flanagan reviewed the road crew rosters, counted up hours, and prepared for the following morning when he would lay off the men who had
hit their 30-hour limit. Flanagan initially questioned the regulations, but eventually realized that, “There were not nearly enough road jobs to keep the unemployed busy... [but] The dinky thirty hours a man got gave him a big lift psychologically [because] he knew he had not been forgotten.” In an environment rife with potential for bribery, Flanagan worked hard to remain fair. He took pride in the fact that he “had no difficulty in walking right through groups of … 700 workers gathered around [the work site]. No one was after my scalp” he said. “The men had learned that there were no favorites. That’s all they asked.”

It’s been an odd weather year so far. It seems that winter and spring are arriving at the same time. We just got our biggest snow, and then temperatures are forecast to be way above average. What’s up with that? Even though it hardly seems like we’ve had winter, guess what? – Spring break time is here. Snow College has their week-long break from school this coming week. I checked the calendars for the two school districts in the county. At least they have the decency to wait for spring to officially arrive before they have their breaks the last week of March. The twentieth of the month is the first day of spring. Easter is April 1st. So that’s convenient timing. It’s good when the break and Easter work out to be together. Spring break is traditionally a time for students and teachers to get a few days off before the last push to the end of the academic year. For the college kids nationally, it’s often a time to travel to a sun splashed, warm area, preferably with a beach. Some of these kids stereotypically “go nuts” with partying and wild behavior otherwise. It’s best that their parents don’t know the details of these vacations. I don’t think it’s the majority of kids who do this, but there are the highly publicized, rambunctious groups who do get lots of attention. We drove from Orlando to Daytona Beach in Florida for a beach day some years ago during Spring Break. It was interesting to say the least. It kind of made me wish for college days again. (I get these flashes of temporary insanity occasionally.) As I think back on my student days, I’m hard pressed to remember any significantly memorable spring breaks. Well, now that I think about it, there was the spring of 1971, when a bunch of us camped at Colby’s Hole in Zion Park. But that’s a story for another time and place. But, I have no tales of escapades in Cancun or Ft. Lauderdale. (Dang it!) In recent years, places like Cancun have tried to be stricter in enforcing underage drinking and public nudity laws. This is not good news to some spring breakers. Some time ago, when they began clamping down on some of these behaviors, I read a quote from one Scott Schechter, a third year student at Harvard Law at the time, who was quoted as saying: “It is our God-given right to stampede into foreign countries to do things that would get us arrested back home. Dude, I mean, then what the hell is the point of having Mexico if they’re just gonna have the same rules as the U.S.?” (Scott has a good shot at a seat on the Supreme Court in his future, don’t you think?) St. George isn’t in a foreign country but it has been
stampeded some years as a popular spot for spring breakers. The temperatures there are usually mild. There might not be an ocean, but there’s lots of sand. It’s a great place for fun, though not as “wild” as the nationally known spots. My personal spring breaks have not traditionally involved activities that if discovered would land me in jail. Mine have been more like the ones I saw in a list of Top Ten Amish Spring Break Activities. Here are a few from that list: • Drink molasses until you heave. • Throw a “Keg of Buttermilk” party. • Attend a wet bonnet contest. • Blow past the Dairy Queen on a really hot Clydesdale. • Get a tattoo that says: “Born to Raise Barns.” • Sleep in until 6 a.m. There are alternatives to the traditional spring break. Not all students go crazy. I have read about many students who take “service vacations.” During their break time, they travel to places where they can spend a few days volunteering to help with social and environmental issues. If there are any readers who are interested in coming to Sanpete for a service spring break this year, I suggest that you contact me. I have environmental issues in my back yard that would be a great service project. And after we’re done with that project, we’ll put on our swimsuits and head to one of Sanpete’s beaches for volleyball. At the end of the day, we’ll find a “spray on” tanning salon. Once back home, with a great tan, no one will be the wiser as to how the tan was obtained. You will have had a terrific spring break. Now, I’m actually wondering what Sanpete has to offer in the spring break marketplace. Well –umm – hmm. (Scratching head – still wondering) I guess someone traveling to Sanpete for a spring break would have to be willing to adjust traditional expectations. Our tourist board would have to get creative to sell us as a destination. We have to face it. The beaches at Palisade State Park and Gunnison Reservoir aren’t quite like the ones you see on spring break television shows. And, the temperatures in Sanpete right now just aren’t very conducive to wearing skimpy clothing 24/7. (Even though, my observation is that some Sanpete students like to pretend otherwise.) On the other hand, Sanpete offers spring time fun in the snow in the canyons and on the mountains. For the spring breaker who doesn’t want to fight crowds, we have solitude in nature. No matter how you decide to spend your time “spring breaking,” – enjoy yourself. Make sure you have tons of fun. And remember, if you can’t be good – be careful.

USDA announces more local control for school meals WASHINGTON — U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Deputy Secretary Steve Censky recently announced two new efforts to provide states and school districts with additional flexibility and support to operate more efficient school meal programs. Censky made the announcement during a speech at the School Nutrition Association Legislative Action Conference in Washington, D.C. Hiring flexibility rule In 2015, USDA established education and training requirements for nutrition professionals as part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. While this strengthened many school meal programs, some small school districts faced challenges finding qualified applicants to direct their local food service operation. The new proposal would provide much-needed relief for school districts with less than 2,500 students, allowing them more flexibility in the hiring of new school nutrition program directors. “Small and rural school districts will no longer have to overlook qualified food ser-
vice professionals because of one-size-fits-all standards that don’t meet their needs,” said Censky. “We trust our local partners to hire talented school nutrition program directors who will manage the meal service in a way that protects the health and well-being of students.” USDA is providing a 60-day public comment period and will then develop a final rule that responds to the needs of partners and stakeholders. Food crediting info requests To support states’ efforts to improve program integrity, USDA also rolled out a suite of customizable resources to help local school districts improve the accuracy of their school meal application processes. These resources include support for online applications, evidenced-based materials, and best practices to simplify the process for families and ensure that eligible children receive free and reduced-priced meals. “USDA’s goal to do right and feed everyone starts with our children,” said Censky. “We are committed to giving states and school districts more tools
WAVEBREAKMEDIAMICRO — STOCK.ADOBE.COM
Two new efforts to provide states and school districts with additional flexibility and support to operate more efficient school meal programs were recently announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). and options to build a bright, self-sufficient future for America’s children through well-managed school meal programs.” As part of this package, USDA is offering guidance to help schools utilize its award-winning, open-source online school meal application model. USDA developed the application with input from local food service professionals. The customer-friendly design of the model is intended
to increase the integrity of the application process by reducing common mistakes families make when applying for free or reduced-priced school meals. “These tools are the benchmark for future innovation and give schools 21st century resources and strategies to run efficient food service operations, now and into the future,” Censky said. “Schools can ensure the proper use of funds for feeding students in need, protect-
ing the taxpayer dollar through high integrity programs.” USDA invites software developers in private industry to join schools in delivering customer service by helping them tailor their own applications. Today’s announcement is the latest in a series of recent USDA actions to expand flexibility and ease challenges for partners and stakeholders who help feed our nation’s children. Other actions include: • Publishing the School Meal Flexibility Rule, which provides local food service professionals the flexibility they need to serve wholesome, nutritious, and tasty meals in schools across the nation. • Releasing “The Food Buying Guide,” a mobile app that puts critical information at the fingertips of food service professionals and makes it easier for them to plan wholesome, nutritious, and tasty school meals. • Selecting Kansas State University to direct the Center for Food Safety in Child Nutrition Programs, which will help improve food safety across all of USDA’s child nutrition pro-
grams. • Inviting the public to submit ideas on food crediting, the system that defines how each food item contributes to meal requirements under the National School Lunch Program and other federal child nutrition programs. About lunch program, FNS About 100,000 schools and institutions feed 30 million children through the National School Lunch Program and nearly 15 million children through the School Breakfast Program. Many of these children receive their meals at no cost or for a reduced price according to income-based eligibility. USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) administers 15 nutrition assistance programs, including the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs, the Child and Adult Care Food Program, the Summer Food Service Program, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which together comprise America’s nutrition safety net.
USDA webpage highlights resources to help address opioid crisis WASHINGTON — Assistant to the Secretary for Rural Development Anne Hazlett recently unveiled a new webpage featuring resources to help rural communities respond to the opioid crisis. It can be found online at: https://www.usda. gov/topics/opioids. “While no corner of the country has gone untouched
by the opioid crisis, small towns and rural places have been particularly hard hit,” Hazlett said. “The challenge of opioid misuse is an issue of rural prosperity and will take all hands on deck to address. The webpage we are launching today will help rural leaders build a response that is tailored to meet the needs of

regulatory and policy changes that could promote agriculture and prosperity in rural communities. In January 2018, Secretary Perdue presented the Task Force’s findings to President Trump, which included 31 recommendations to align the federal government with state, local and tribal governments to take advantage of opportunities that exist in rural America. In the area of quality of life, the Task Force included a recommendation to modernize health care access. The report highlighted the importance of telemedicine in enhancing access to primary care and spe-
cialty providers. The Task Force also found that improved access to mental and behavioral health care, particularly prevention, treatment and recovery resources, is vital to addressing the opioid crisis and other substance misuse in rural communities.

Bradley R. Blackham 1982~2018 MT. PLEASANT-- Bradley Ray Blackham, 35, Mt. Pleasant, passed away Feb. 27, 2018. Bradley was born April 25, 1982, to David and Dianne Blackham, Mt. Pleasant. As a child he was very active and loved skateboarding, biking, camping, swimming, snowboarding and was a member of the LDS Church. He especially enjoyed Scouting and received his Eagle Scout Award at age 13. He also loved Indian lore and was part of Scouting's Order of the Arrow. Brad loved working on projects involving leather, wood, rocks, artwork and crafts. Brad collected insects, jewelry, graphic t-shirts, baseball cards, stickers, Pogs, antique books and coins. He had an appreciation for the variety of life and matter on earth. He loved animals. Bradʼs various pets included snakes, lizards, turtles, ducks, bunnies, lambs, kittens, puppies, a guinea pig, a white rat and even a tarantula. He also enjoyed playing sports and games with his family including Risk, Rook, Cash Flow, Wiffle Ball and Home Run Derby. Bradley graduated from high school in Spanish Fork. He also attended Wasatch Academy for a year, but acquired most of his education from the North Sanpete school system. Brad was athletic and loved track, cross country, basketball, baseball and tennis. He and his brother, Brett, actually won region in tennis as a doubles team. He was also an accomplished musician and adept at performing as a guitar player, bass player and singer. Brad performed in high school, college and formed several private performing groups, and also instructed students in private guitar lessons. Brad was a great lyricist and musical writer. He was the bassist for the group, "Deep Fried and Sugar Coated" which produced a record titled, "Over the Counter". He wrote or co-wrote six of the songs in that album. Brad also wrote other songs through the years, including two for his daughter titled, "Pretty Little Girl" and "Abby Baby." He was well-trained and talented to the point where all other musicians had to do was tell him the style and key signature, then he could give them what they wanted on bass or guitar. He received an associate's degree from Snow College, and a Bachelor of Science in Finance from Utah State University. He excelled in writing and financial calculations. Brad was a wonderful author and often top of his class for research compositions. He was the finance club president and was known for taking meticulous notes of lectures that everyone wanted, including his professors. Brad married Heather Lee Tayler who was his wife for five years before their divorce. Later Brad met Brittany Engstrom and they became the parents of Abby Rose Engstrom. He loved Abbyʼs sister Emma Grace Engstrom as his own. Brad suffered from Schizophrenia. In his youth Bradley endured considerable mistreatment by those who did not understand him or his illness. He dealt with his challenges by turning to unique hobbies and eventually music study and performance. As an adult, he dealt with his disability by writing in his journal every day and authoring several books. His most recent work is a poetry book titled, "The Spirit Guide". His ability to produce something of value in the late stages of this disease is truly remarkable and inspiring. Nearly every poem in the work references peace, love, unity or forgiveness. One of the most memorable and endearing qualities Brad embodied was his ability to forgive others and feel empathy toward them, even when that was the last thing they deserved. The divine law of love was the most common phrase heard from his lips. He believed it, lived it, and boy did he preach it. We would all do well to be a little more like Bradley. "The law that none are above, is the divine law of love", verse 10, The Spirit Guide, Light and Love to All. At 11:11 a.m. every day, Brad wished unconditiona1 1ove to whomever he was with. The 1ʼs rep1acing the Lʼs were his code standing for "1ove and 1ight for a11". Brad was the beloved brother of Brett and (Brittney) Blackham; Emilee and (John) Kuchenmeister; Brigham and (Belinda) Blackham; Bryce and (Riley) Blackham; and Brenden Blackham. Bradley was a loving son, brother, father and friend. Funeral services were held March 5 in the Mt. Pleasant North LDS Stake Center. Interment was in the Moroni City Cemetery. The family appreciates Central Utah Counseling Center, the National Alliance for Mentally Ill (NAMI), Dr. Michael Smith, Counselor Lance Martin, Dr. Gary Cole, Mt. Pleasant Police Department, EMTs and a special appreciation of family, friends and Mt. Pleasant First LDS Ward. Online condolence at www.rasmussenmortuary.com.

Janeen H. Sorensen 1961~2018 FAIRVIEW-- Janeen Hatch Sorensen passed away at her home March 4, 2018; after a weekend enjoying home and family, watching home movies, singing favorite songs, laughing and sharing fun memories and stories.

Life was never dull, there was always a broken bone, a bump, a bruise, a laceration or stitches to be dealt with.

We’re so excited to partner with Girls Who Code to prepare the next generation of female leaders to grow and
thrive in a connected world. When we engage and empower our girls, there is no limit to what we can achieve as a global community.” Members of the club learn the concepts of loops, variables, conditionals, and functions that form the basis for all programming languages — whether they want to build a website, an app, or a robot. Girls returning to the club can deepen their programming knowledge through extended activity sets. “With free workshops and
camps that teach coding and computer science year-round, we are proud to support Girls Who Code’s mission to close the gender gap in technology,” said Justin Lee, community manager at Microsoft. “Microsoft is also proud to support Girls Who Code’s Summer Immersion Program, hosted on Microsoft campuses for the past four years, and the Girls Who Code Clubs program across communities nationally in 2018.” About GOED The Utah Governor’s Of-
