Pyramid managing editor retires BY CHERYL BREWER AND RAY LAFOLLETTE

MT. PLEASANT— Cheryl Brewer, managing editor of The Pyramid retired at the end of January 2020 after almost 25 years of sharing the news with Sanpete County. Ray LaFollette, her office assistant for the past three years and nine months, has also announced his pending departure. A replacement managing editor has not been announced. In the fall of 2019, Cheryl relates that she was heavily thinking about retiring. It wasn’t an easy decision for her, but then decided that yes, it was the right time to step away from her long association with The Pyramid. But in doing so, Cheryl took a glance back at her career at the paper and how it has changed over the years. When she was hired at The Pyramid April 1, 1995, it was after being laid off at Pyke Manufacturing in Manti. At Pyke, Cheryl was a seamstress making outerwear garments and had worked for 11 years in sewing factories both in Mt. Pleasant and Manti. Being laid off from Pyke, she found herself, a divorced, single mother of three. Although her children were mostly grown, she still needed to find employment that could support herself and family. Cheryl decided to take a night time computer class at Snow College to learn how to use Word Perfect 5.1, which opened a new door for her. When she was hired on April Fools Day at The Pyramid, Penny Hamilton was the editor. At that time the paper was owned by the Martin Conover family from Springville.

Ray LaFollette

During the past 24 years, Cheryl has witnessed many changes in the newspaper industry. In the beginning, she relates, deadline day was a day when everything had to be completed that day. The staff would write all the stories and save them to a floppy disc. Then, no one went home until the paper was done, which made for some very long days. Cheryl says she will always be grateful to Penny for the guidance and the many things she taught her about writing. After about a year, Cheryl’s job required traveling to Springville once a week to do the paper layout, which was done by hand. They used to size the pictures, run the stories out on paper, and trim them into the column sizes, then waxed and attached the stories onto grid sheets for each page. Next, each page was photographed and made into negatives which Cheryl

then transported to the Orem Geneva Times, in Orem, where The Pyramid was printed. After printing, Cheryl loaded up all the newspapers, and took them to Springville where they stuffed the papers with flyers, labeled them, and then bagged them for the post office. On her way back to Sanpete, she also delivered them to the post office and to various vendors. This whole process was an all day job and sometimes into the night. She remembers driving many nights through horrific winter weather. Sometimes only going about 20 mph through blinding snow storms and watching for road delineators to help stay on the road. Penny Hamilton left The Pyramid for other employment in August 1997. With that departure, Martin Please see RETIRES, Page A8

Hiking among goblins We took a day trip this past Saturday for some hiking. Even though it’s still winter, we felt like we had spring fever. Spring fever is not to be confused with any other illness you’ve heard about in the news recently. Treatment for our “illness” was the opposite of staying indoors and being in isolation. We were intending to drive to Bryce Canyon. But, by the time we were approaching Salina, we had the idea to consider the Goblin Valley area. We checked the comparative temperatures and went to the place that was about 15 – 20 degrees warmer than the other. We drove out east from Salina on I-70. We stopped at the Ghost Rock look-out rest stop. As we approached and could see the looming, big white rock, I speculated on how it got its name. I said, “I can imagine that some cowboys on horseback coming through here one time, saw that rock in the moonlight from a distance. It could have put them in the mind of seeing a ghost.” At the rest area, we walked over to the informational plaques and read them. Here’s the part I liked: “Imagine riding your horse through the San Rafael Swell in a heavy fog. Standing above the fog are two huge white rocks. Would you think you had seen a ghost? A cowboy thought so, hence its name – Ghost Rock…” (Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than smart!) It was good to get out on the road and away from our routine. We needed a change of scenery. Goblin Valley is a major change of scenery. We’ve watched the movie “Galaxy Quest” quite a few times. Part of that movie was filmed in Goblin Valley and is portrayed as a different planet where the lead character in the show, Tim Allen, has to fight a monster made out of red rocks. The movie is kind of a parody of “Star Trek” and is a fun show. If you haven’t seen it, find it and take a look. One of the good things about being at Goblin Valley is that it’s a Utah state park. We could take Archer, the Sheltie wonder dog, on a leash anywhere in the park. That’s not the case at a national park. Our hiking was done from the main parking lot and picnic area out into the big valley of “goblins.” The rock formations are unique. I didn’t speculate on how the valley got its name. And I haven’t seen anything official about that, other than the obvious. (Keep reading for the “obvious”) The column-like rocks which jut up from the ground are most often called “hoodoos” in southern Utah, especially at Bryce Canyon. I’ve read that the name hoodoo comes from the name of a tribe and language (Hudu) of Togo and Ghana in Africa. The name showed up in American English in 1875. I’m surmising that it’s some

sort of mystical, maybe voodoo’ish, concept. The example sentence I read was, “I hoodoo you.” I’m not so sure that I want to be hoodoo’ed except by hiking among the red rocks of the great outdoors. If you were to ask me about the origins of the name of Goblin Valley, I’d read you an imaginary informational plaque: “Imagine two cowboys riding horses under a full moon through this area in 1875. They clip-clop over a rise and below them lies a valley filled with mysterious figures of all shapes and sizes. Dusty exclaims to Butch, “I’ll be hoodoo’ed and hornswoggled! We’ve come onto a valley of goblins! Let’s scoot the loot and high tail it outta here!” Another great thing about Goblin Valley is that you can “experience” the rock formations. You can climb in, on and around them and have a lot of fun. If you can get your dog up on one of the lower hoodoos, it makes a nice picture. Archer knows how to pose. I’m a bit surprised that Utah still gives us as much access as we have in Goblin Valley. While there, I was reminded that when I visited Stonehenge in England back in 1976, it was a full access experience. I don’t think it was because of my visit, but the place was roped off and restricted in 1977. Interestingly, chisels were banned from Stonehenge in the early 1900’s. Before that restriction, people were taking a souvenir piece of the monumental stones home with them. Now, generally speaking, the public isn’t allowed to touch the stones or be right out there among them. I was also reminded of the infamous Boy Scout incident in Goblin Valley several years ago. The ex-Boy Scout leaders decided that it was a good idea to push a 2,000 pound boulder top off one of the “goblins.” They unconvincingly claimed that it posed a danger to kids. The video that was taken of the event was posted on YouTube and went viral. The leaders were dismissed from their leadership positions and faced court action. After a decent hike at Goblin Valley, we headed outside of the park over to “Little Wild Horse Canyon.” It’s a great hike and is dog friendly as well. It does get narrow and literally tight in spots. Hiking is a lot of fun and this is a good time of year to do it – as long as you pick a good weather day. Sanpete has great hiking areas. Utah is full of fun hikes. P.S. If you go for a hike to the Goblin Valley area, make time to go into the little town of Green River and eat at the Tamerisk Restaurant. It was a wonderful “find” for us. Big windows let you look out and down to the river. The coconut encrusted tilapia with mango sauce was great!

After a week-long honeymoon at the Plaza in New York, they move in to their apartment on the top floor of a fivestory brownstone in New York City. Corie is optimistic about their future together, while Paul, the more anxious and grounded half of the couple, worries about the various flaws in the apartment, such as a hole in the skylight, their leaky closet, the lack of a bathtub, and the

Six NS scholars place in Sterling Scholar competition JORI TURPIN

The Pyramid

RICHFIELD— North Sanpete (NS) Sterling Scholars traveled to Richfield High School to compete in the Central Utah Sterling Scholar competition held March 3. This year, North Sanpete had another impressive showing with six of their Sterling Scholars placing. The students sat nervously bouncing their feet as they waited for the judges to call them into their interviews. Years of hard work had culminated to this moment and the students were looking forward to sharing their hours of service and accomplishments with the judges. Every year Sterling Scholars are chosen after a rigorous application process. Besides

having high American College Testing (ACT) scores and an outstanding grade point average (GPA), these students must complete service and activities in the category for which they are applying. After applying, teachers and faculty vote on who they believe will be the best representation for North Sanpete in each category. There are 15 categories in total, and the best of the best are chosen for each one. After being chosen, the Sterling Scholars continue to search out opportunities for service as they build a portfolio of accomplishments for the judges to review. The final step is the interview process. Each student contestant will meet with three judges who will interview them and then

determine a winner in each category. Several high school students from the Central Utah region compete in each category. Two runners-up and one winner will be announced per category. Besides building an impressive resume, winners and runners-up are offered scholarships and money that can be used to apply to whichever college they wish to attend. For the past seven years, North Sanpete has had an outstanding showing at the Sterling Scholar competition usually beating out all other schools in the number of students who have placed. Winners This year, two NS scholars won in their chosen categories while four NS scholars were

chosen as runner-ups. Mayzie Talbot and Addelyn Brotherson are this year’s Sterling Scholar winners. Mayzie Talbot Talbot was the winner for the English category. She is not only the editor of the North Sanpete High School newspaper, but she is also the HOBY Utah alumna and received the Leadership for Service Presidential Award. Addelyn Brotherson Brotherson was announced as the winner in the dance category. Among her accomplishments, she was crowned as Miss Utah’s Outstanding Teen in 2017 and helped drive her high school drill team to two runner-up finishes at state. Runner-ups The runner-ups this year are Savannah Ence, in business;

Orange Peel, in science; Adrian Lemus, in mathematics; and Isabel Wright, in speech and drama. Savannah Ence Ence is a runner-up in business and marketing education. She has been a member of Future Business Leaders of America for four years and helped start a drug prevention club called the BOMB (Bringing Out My Best) Squad at the high school. Orange Peel Peel is a runner-up in the science category. He is also the National Honor Society vice president and received a 30 on his ACT. Adrian Lemus Lemus is a runner-up in the mathematics category. He has competed in several math competitions and scored a 35 on the

math portion of the ACT. He is also an accomplished wrestler and will compete in the NHSCA National Tournament. Isabel Wright Wright is a runner-up in the speech and drama category. She has competed in Shakespeare competitions and placed at region as well as served on the drama council for three years. North Sanpete Sterling Scholar Advisors Ben Cox and Jori Turpin were pleased with another successful year. “Each year I’m blown away at the amount of dedication and drive these students have,” Turpin said, “Watching them interview and demonstrate how well-spoken they are on top of all the service they do in their community makes me excited for the future, it’s in good hands.”

Christensen sentenced for Kammy Edmunds murder Women’s a-league volleyball RAY LAFOLLETTE

The Pyramid

MANTI— Anthony Jeffery Christensen, who plead guilty to the murder of Kammy Mae Edmunds and obstruction of justice last January, was sentenced March 4 in Sixth District Court, Manti. After hearing from several family members who expressed their loss and emotions about Kammy’s devastating death in a full courtroom, Christensen was given two five-years-to-life sentences and an additional 1-15 years by Sixth District Court Judge Marvin Bagley. Kammy Mae Edmunds is considered to be an amazing woman by her family. The family hopes Kammy’s name and beautiful face will be remembered. She always had a smile and a laugh that was so contagious people couldn’t help but smile with her, even on the worst of days. Kammy will be dearly missed. She leaves behind her son, Franky, and her daughter, Sophya; siblings, nieces, nephews, parents and extended family. The family would like to extend their appreciation to the Mt. Pleasant Police Department, Sanpete County Sheriff’s Office and all those who helped to bring resolution to this case. The family also encourages anyone who is suffering through domestic abuse, to reach out for help. Everyone is encouraged to be observant and watch for anyone who may possibly be abused, then reach out to them and tell them they are loved and be there for them. Support is available 24/7 in Utah for those dealing with domestic violence. Visit the

In an emergency, dial 911. This court action comes almost exactly three years after Edmunds, age 34, was found dead in her Mt. Pleasant home on Friday, March 31, 2017. On that day, at about 12:45 p.m., the Mt. Pleasant Police Department had been called in to investigate her death. At the same time, a white 2001 Oldsmobile Alero was missing. A search for the vehicle was initiated. It was eventually located east of Mt. Pleasant near the Power Plant Park by detectives from the Sanpete County Sheriff’s Office. The vehicle had been driven off an embankment into a dry creek. Detectives processed the scene at the park and then the vehicle was taken to an indoor department facility for further inspection. During the investigation, according to Edmund’s family, her body was found lying on the floor in the bathroom of the home where she lived with fiancé Anthony Christensen. Police were told by Christensen that Edmunds had been injured in a car crash and had walked a few miles back to the house where he found her, de-

ceased. Early on in the investigation, doubt was raised about Christensen’s story because the autopsy results show blunt force trauma to Edmund’s head which is more indicative of abuse. When Christensen was arrested, the probable cause statement released by the Sanpete County Sheriff’s Office provided details of interest. “Christensen stated that they were drinking last night… He stated that he was very drunk and went in and passed out for the night. Christensen stated that when he woke up for the day he noticed that Edmunds was not in bed and he got up to look for her. Christensen stated that he found Edmunds in the bathroom.” During the investigation Christensen at one point said, “he thought he was dreaming and Edmunds was there and she told him that she was in a car wreck and her face was smashed.” Christensen, “dismissed the moment to a dream and rolled back over to sleep more.” “In processing the area,” a Mt. Pleasant police officer, “saw what appeared to be spots of blood outside the side entry door,” and, “a path through the living room carpet that appeared to be lighter, but still visible blood. The path led to the bathroom.” “In the kitchen area of the house there were marks on the flooring that suggested a person was dragged across the area.” “The path through the living room was processed by law enforcement and the red stains and carpet and pad were cut out of the floor. In cutting the carpet and pad out of the floor” the officer, “could feel

that the underneath section of carpet and the pad were wet with a clear fluid, indicating an attempt to clean the staining had occurred.” Further, the State Medical Examiner’s Office also reported that “the injuries sustained by Edmunds were not consistent with being in an automobile accident.” “The cause of death is multiple blunt force trauma concentrated to the head.” The phone belonging to Edmunds “was found in a purse inside the home” and cell phone records for her phone and Christensen’s were checked. Detectives discovered “that Edmunds phone had been erased or factory reset.” In addition the records for Christensen’s phone, “indicate that Christensen was in the area around Parley’s Lane at a time” when Christensen, “claims he is home sleeping.” Also of note is the report that, “the damage to the vehicle is not consistent with damage that would result in the death of person.” And blood evidence found on the vehicle, “is located low on the door panel, not up where a person’s head would be.” Christensen was arrested April 1, 2017, by the Mt. Pleasant Police Department on charges of criminal homicide, desecration of a human body and obstructing justice. Bail was set at $500,000. According to the probable cause statement, “Criminal history of Christensen is extensive and shows multiple violent convictions out of Wyoming including child, abuse with physical injury, strangulation of a household member, battery of household member and from Nevada, a fugitive from justice.”

Styler announces candidacy for Utah State Senate District 24 DELTA — Mike Styler, a life-long Millard County resident and former executive director of the Utah Department of Natural Resources (DNR), has announced his candidacy for District 24 of the Utah State Senate. The seat is currently held by Ralph Okerlund, who is retiring. “Our children and grandchildren have benefited from our rural schools and growing up on the farm. LuAnn and I want more rural kids to be able to find jobs and stay close to the hometowns they grew up in, but those chances are diminishing,” Styler says. “We fear rural Utah is losing its voice as the Wasatch Front booms and provides jobs, but also suffers from overcrowding, poor air quality and lack of room for growth.”

Mike Styler “I believe we can move some of those jobs to rural Utah,” he says, “where we have the space, clean air, water and workforce to be successful and to help rural families thrive.” Styler first entered public service at the age of 30 when he became a Millard County Please see SKYLER, Page A7

ACTION: Notice of Availability of an Environmental Assessment SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Rural Utilities Service (RUS), as required by the National Environmental Policy Act, is issuing an environmental assessment (EA) in connection with possible impacts related to a project proposed by Mt. Pleasant City, Utah. The proposal is for construction of improvements to the Mt. Pleasant Culinary Water System to upgrade its existing water system to bring it into compliance with current State of Utah Division of Drinking Water Rules. The impacted areas include: Mt. Pleasant City and the immediate surrounding area. Mt. Pleasant City has submitted an application to RUS for funding of the proposal. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Karl Larsen, Area Specialist, USDA Rural Development, 5 South Main Street, Ste. 202, Ephraim, UT 84627, phone: (435)283-8004 ext. 109, email: karl.larsen@usda.gov SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed project would consist of two parts as described below: 1) Part 1: The Sneak Spring water would be isolated and conveyed through approximately 9,000 feet of proposed 6-inch diameter transmission line to a proposed water treatment plant. The water would be treated and then reintroduced into the existing pipeline that also conveys water from other springs into the water system. The new pipeline would follow the right-of-way (ROW) of the existing water transmission line for the springs. 2) Part 2: Two wells (proposed Wells #1 and #2) would be constructed and associated 10-inch diameter transmission pipelines would be installed to convey the well water to one (East Tank) of the two existing water storage tanks to meet the projected source capacity requirement at the end of the 20-year planning period. The location of the proposed Well #2 may change with two potential alternative sites, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. The pipeline from the proposed Well #1 to the East Tank is approximately 3,400 feet long and the pipeline from the proposed Well #2 to the East Tank is approximately 12,000 feet. Sunrise Engineering, an engineering and environmental consultant, prepared an environmental assessment for RUS that describes the project, assesses the proposed project’s environmental impacts, and summarizes as applicable any mitigation measures used to minimize environmental effects. RUS has conducted an independent evaluation of the environmental assessment and believes that it accurately assesses the impacts of the proposed project. No significant impacts are expected as a result of the construction of the project. Questions and comments should be sent to RUS at the address provided. RUS will accept questions and comments on the environmental assessment for [14] days from the date of publication of this notice. Any final action by RUS related to the proposed project will be subject to, and contingent upon, compliance with all relevant Federal environmental laws and regulations and completion of environmental review procedures as prescribed by 7 CFR Part 1970, Environmental Policies and Procedures.

Opie was extremely gifted musically, and often shared her talents singing, playing organ or piano for church services or performances to the delight of those who heard her. Several times she sang solos for performances such as Handel’s Messiah. She led choirs large and small, young and old, each one performing their best under her guiding hand. Perhaps Opie’s greatest and most fulfilling experience was to lead an enormous regional choir for the re-dedication of the Manti Temple, a performance that received a specific expression of appreciation from a church apostle. While taking a long break from pursuing her education and a career to raise children, Opie selflessly sacrificed her personal pursuits for the blessing of her family. She courageously moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina with her growing family of young children while Reed served as a school principal. Opie quickly adapted by learning excellent Spanish and integrating her family into the

Argentine community. In her late 40s, Opie returned to college to earn her degree in elementary education and receive her teaching certification. For the next 12 years, she taught reading, Spanish and Esperanto, music and choir at high school and middle school levels. During summers, she taught migrant children for the state Migrant Education Program. In her retirement, Opie returned to doing what she loved most, blessing the lives of those she loves. She served the people of Mexico on an 18-month mission with Reed for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Yucatán Peninsula. Her later years were spent creating Swedish weave blankets for every child and grandchild. She was present at every family occasion she could possibly attend or host, and often hosted Thanksgiving feasts and Christmas Eve parties. We will always remember her generosity and love. Opie is survived by her husband, Reed; children, Mark (Kristie) Miller; Michelle (Scott) Parrott; Maralee Santo; Miguel (Melanie) Miller; 18 grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. She was the 12th and youngest child of her parents and the final survivor. Funeral services were held March 9, in the Hillcrest Third Ward, American Fork. Interment in the Provo City cemetery.

When Shawntal left Utah and moved to Mesquite Nevada in 1996, she instantly loved the desert. She worked many good jobs during the 12 years she lived in Mesquite, including management of the new “Ramada Inn” hotel. That manager position led to a job offer at the south rim of the “Grand Canyon” in Arizona, where she worked as the food and beverage manager at the “El Tovar” and “Bright Angel” restaurants and lodges. While working there, she met Kevin “Kbar” Varley. He worked as top trail guide, mule handler and packer, and took the tourists down to the bottom of the canyon on muleback, a true cowboy.

SKYLER From A6

Commissioner. Since that time he has served in the Utah House of Representatives, where he chaired the Natural Resources Appropriations Committee, and served on the Executive Appropriations Committee. Most recently Styler served as executive director of Utah’s Department of Natural Resources. He retired last June after serving in that capacity for 14 years. While devoting much of his time to public service, Styler continues to farm his 400 acre Oasis, Utah farm, which has been in the family since they helped settle the area in the 1880s. He also continued to teach U.S. History to eighth grade students until he was appointed executive director at DNR. Styler values Utah’s natural resources, especially those found throughout District

24. With Ralph Okerlund retiring, Mike is committed to maintaining the strong and vocal leadership rural Utah has come to appreciate from Senator Okerlund. “It’s important that we protect our access to public land, our water rights, extraction of energy and minerals, and our agricultural endeavors. I have the record to do just that,” Styler said. “In addition to my position at DNR, I have traveled throughout rural Utah where I’ve championed active improvement of our watersheds and grazing. I feel strongly about these issues, and the good people of District 24, and I am excited at the prospect of representing rural Utah in the state senate.” Styler will not be gathering signatures, but will rely on state delegates and the Republican Caucus process to earn his place on the ballot. He would appreciate public support in standing up for rural Utah.

RETIRES From A1

promoted Cheryl to editor. With that came more responsibility. She edited the paper, sold advertising and delivered papers to vendors throughout the county and still traveled to Springville each week for the paper layout, which continued to be done by hand. Martin Conover owned the Springville Herald, The Pyramid and Eureka Reporter papers and decided to sell them all in September 2003, to the Daily Herald, in Provo, which was owned by Pulitzer, based in St. Louis. With the new owners came changes in paper layout. Instead of doing it by hand, it was all done on the computer, which really helped. Cheryl related that she doesn’t miss doing the paper layouts at all. Those changes also shortened the days she spent in the Provo area. It also meant they had to learn new computer programs and change from PCs to Macs but they managed to get through it all. Then in 2005, Pulitzer was sold to Lee Enterprises, based in Davenport, IA. With that sale came more new computer programs to learn and a different way to lay out the paper. In January 2011, the Springville Herald closed. When that happened, Martin Conover and his son, Craig, moved to work at the Daily Herald, in Provo. But that change meant that Martin’s wife, Pat, who was the Springville Herald editor; and daughters, Marcia and Christie; were terminated. That closing and changes didn’t directly affect The Pyramid, but it did bring more changes in the publishing business. Lee Enterprises owned the Daily Herald and The Pyramid and Cheryl made

weekly trips to the Daily Herald as part of the weekly paper publishing. It was a sad day, March 8, 2011, when Cheryl’s old boss and friend, Martin Conover passed away. Cheryl says, “He was always so good to me and I always enjoyed his friendship and mentoring. But my association with the Conover family didn’t end there, Martin’s son, Craig then became my boss.” There was also a big move in February 2014. The Pyramid office moved out of the building located at 49 West Main to its present location across the street at 86 West Main, Mt. Pleasant. Cheryl can’t remember exactly when, but possibly at about the same time Penny Hamilton left the Pyramid, Evelyn Chlarson came to work as Cheryl’s office assistant and according to Cheryl, “She was a dream come true.” Cheryl says that, “Evelyn was always on time, no matter the weather conditions, and put her full effort into her job. She was good to customers and was always a delight to be around. She was a good example to me and also a good friend.” Unfortunately, in the spring of 2016, Evelyn had a bad fall and broke her back, then two weeks later she suffered a stroke and was no longer able to work. That spring was a difficult time for Cheryl. Evelyn later passed away in June 2018. Eventually, in June 2016, Ray LaFollette was hired and served as Cheryl’s right hand man for the next three and-ahalf years. In the fall of 2016, came another change when the Daily Herald and The Pyramid were both sold to Ogden Newspapers of Utah, based in Wheeling, VA. With the new ownership came more new computer programs to learn. Over the years, Cheryl was

kept quite busy as the Pyramid’s managing editor. She oversaw the weekly publication of The Pyramid newspaper and Pyramid Shopper each week. She was always busy selling advertising for those papers and for special projects ranging from the annual Summer Recreation Guide, Mormon Miracle Pageant and the Sanpete County Fair Book and other special items in between. Cheryl says she has enjoyed making many friends with customers and will miss seeing those that visited every week as well as those she has met during special projects. “I should also mention my husband, Ron,” she says, “He has been an incredible support to me. When things didn’t go like they should, he readily stepped in to help me.” “For instance, he helped deliver the 10,000 Recreation Guides that were sent to one post office on pallets,” she says. “He also would drive me to deliver papers or go with me to Provo when the weather was bad.” As for transportation, Cheryl has had four different vehicles since she started 24 years ago. She figures she has driven over a quarter-of-amillion miles just for work. Incredibly, she has only been in two auto accidents during that time, neither of which were her fault. Cheryl’s plan for retirement is to do lots of fishing, camping, traveling and spending more time with her family. She also has lots of home projects that are calling her name. But if you see Cheryl out and about, or camping and fishing at her favorite spot, please be sure to say hello. That is what she says she will miss the most, getting out into the public and the association of the people that she has worked with both here and in Provo.
