The Pyramid

RICHFIELD — North Sanpete High School sent its best and brightest to Richfield High School last Tuesday, March 5, to compete in the annual Sterling Scholar competition.

The Deseret News founded the Sterling Scholar program as a way to recognize the hard work of those students who do go above and beyond in leadership, citizenship, and service. Students apply for Sterling Scholar and are selected by faculty to compete in the program. Participants go toe-to-toe with other scholarly individuals from high

schools in their area.

Winners of the program receive $2,500 and runners up receive $1,000, as well as scholarship opportunities from local Utah colleges.

The prestigious competition calls for students with high GPAs, high ACT scores, and heavy involvement in community and school activities.

Needless to say, students who participate in the Sterling Scholar program have an impressive work ethic and a drive to make an impact on the world.

MT. PLEASANT — This is the story of how the first Dodge car dealership came to Utah, but the story begins in 1914, when the well-known Dodge Brothers, John and Horace Dodge, began producing their own brand of vehicles after having made automotive parts and accessories for other well-known manufacturers such as Oldsmobile and Ford for several years.

As soon as the news about the Dodge vehicle broke out, some 22,000 people rushed to apply for Dodge

Weird presidential politics

English II students at Wasatch Academy were recently challenged to create multimedia presentations of poetry using a wide variety of materials. (Photo courtesy of Wasatch Academy)

Poetry project at WA allows creative expression MT. PLEASANT — Students within Ms. Wolf’s Wasatch Academy (WA) English II class recently studied poetry in depth while creating unique, multimedia presentations of the poetry they researched.

Each student selected a poem and then illustrated the poem with a variety of mixed media including glass, paper, paint, animal skulls and more.

“Our students are visual learners,” says Wolf, “I thought they would connect more to the poems if they could create a visual representation of the

ideas.”

The students first did a unit on poetry, in which they learned how to explicate (dissect and analyze) poems. Each student then chose his or her own poet and wrote a biography of that person.

Then each student chose a specific poem to explicate that was written by the chosen poet. After the poem explication process, each student created an art board to represent some aspect (or all) of his or her chosen poem.

The art board to be created

had to contain at least one line of the poem (although it could have the entire poem written on it) and also had to be three-dimensional in some way.

Each student then wrote another paragraph explaining why the particular poem was chosen and how the art piece specifically represented the poem.

All the participants connected deeply with their poems. Some students did not realize they could consider themselves to be “artists,” they

thought they had to be taking a formal art class.

The poetry project allowed students to express themselves in authentic ways while still meeting the writing standards for the unit.

“I love watching students draw their own personal connections with the poems and their own lives,” says Wolf, “I also enjoy witnessing the organic process of working with raw materials (bones, buttons, paint, feathers, glass, etc.) to create original, inspiring art pieces.”

Don’t look now, but the presidential election is just around the corner. It’s only about twenty months away!

Just think – we only have a spring, a summer, a fall, a winter, a spring, a summer, and into another fall before we cast our ballots!

If we blink, we’re going to miss it! With so little time left, it’s no wonder that the media is all in a hubbub over the political process.

Okay, I’m being a little sarcastic and making fun of our political calendar. I saw a tee shirt not long ago that read: “Sarcasm is my second language and I speak it fluently.”

I wouldn’t mind having one of those.

This political thing though, is really quite annoying to some people. (And, I’m a “people.”) I know a few Sanpeters who would rather watch Guns and Ammo TV for five hours for every five minutes they accidentally hear any political news on television.

Weirdly, and I’m not really sure why, I’ve been following the field of Democratic candidates for president stampede into the race for a few weeks now. I often flip channels between CNN, Fox and MSNBC. It’s no wonder I have psychological problems.

It’s weird that I’m even interested because it’s so early in the race for the presidency.

But like I said, if you don’t pay attention, you’ll miss all the action.

There’s a whole raft of Democrats who have thrown their hats in the ring.

On the Republican side, there are a few who have expressed interest. The interesting list for the GOP are the ones who have said they are not going to jump in to challenge President Trump for another term.

Our presidential selection system continues to amaze me. The system we have seems really weird to me.

Right now, once again, I’m thinking about the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary voting events. Many of the announced candidates have been on the trail in those states already. And they will continue to visit those states over and over and over again.

It’s so strange to me that such a small sampling of people of two smallish states has such an influence on the national process of selecting a president. Many candidates will drop out of the running based on poor showings in Iowa and New Hampshire.

It has somehow evolved, that the voting in Iowa and New Hampshire has a huge impact on presidential elections in this country. It is expected that Iowa will have their caucus on Feb. 3, 2020 and New Hampshire is currently scheduled for Feb. 11, 2020. Candidates stomp around these states spending tons of money advertising and giving away food and drink.

To demonstrate how weird I think this system is, I have come up with the following fictional, hypothetical scenario. We don’t do things this way in Sanpete County, but I believe the hypothetical scenario is apt.

Imagine this: I’ve decided that I want to

become a Sanpete County Commissioner. I find out that one of the first things I must do is to court the favor of people involved in a voting event to be held in Jerusalem, Sanpete County, Utah. (Think of Iowa) Many of you know that Jerusalem is a proverbial “wide place in the road” with very few homes on the west side of the Sanpete Valley not far from Maple Canyon. It’s a nice area, with a tiny population.

Of the twenty or so (maybe less) Jerusalem residents, there are a few of them who will actually be voting in a special event on whom they think should be Sanpete County Commissioners. For some unknown reason, the opinions of these few people who come out of the woodwork every four years are considered to be very significant.

The candidates for commissioner and the rest of the people in Sanpete County, through some sort of random evolution, have come to rely on these Jerusalem voters as to who should be the favorites to be put on the ballot for general elections. My fellow candidates and I will spend a lot of time in Jerusalem.

We’ll also spend lots of money advertising to these people. Oh, and don’t forget that I personally will be giving these voters the choice between rocky road ice cream and cookie dough ice cream.

This is symbolic of me being “nuts” to be running for office and that I’m spending a lot of “dough” in my quest to become a commissioner.

When it comes time to vote, maybe four or five people will show up and cast their ballots.

We the candidates, based on the outcome, will decide if it is worth continuing in our quest for political office.

For those of us who continue, our next stop will be doing the same thing all over again for a few voting people in a primary election in Axtell (read that: New Hampshire).

Axtell will really be a make or break vote. It’s going to take a lot of ice cream and barbeque to win there.

I might personally do poorly in both events in Jerusalem and Axtell. I might be really discouraged that those few voters with so much power didn’t like my ice cream.

They might not have liked my plan to turn the Sanpete County Jail complex into a luxury resort. Guns and Ammo RV is backing me. That contributor may not be popular with many of the early primary election voters.

If I’m discouraged, I will drop out of the race and give up on my dream of becoming a Sanpete County Commissioner. In the process, nobody in Mt. Pleasant, Fairview, Moroni, Fountain Green, Ephraim, Manti, Gunnison or anywhere else in the county would have had a chance to vote for me.

Nobody in the population centers of the county, including the Greater Chester Metroplex would have had a chance to taste my ice cream and eat my barbeque.

In effect, a very small handful of voters in Jerusalem (Iowa) and Axtell (New Hampshire) would have determined my political success or failure in the county. Weird, huh?

MT. PLEASANT — Dance teacher Patti Jo Hopes recently took the Wasatch Academy (WA) dance students to participate in the Utah High School Dance Festival at Corner Canyon High School, Draper.

While there, dance students had an opportunity to present a dance that was choreographed by WA senior Ami

Konoike and junior Micah Inglish, which was adjudicated by prestigious dance choreographers and teachers. For their efforts, the Wasatch Academy dancers received a mark of excellence and received a trophy.

Students exceeded their teacher’s expectations, as the dance team was competing against large dance companies

that practice 10 or more hours a week. In contrast, the WA dance students only had time to practice 45 minutes a day. “I am very proud of them,” said Hopes.

The dance festival is dedicated to a full day of sharing, learning, growing and performing hosted by the Utah Dance Education Organization (UDEO).

MT. PLEASANT — In a collaborative effort between Wasatch Academy (WA) World Language Department and the business classes taught

by WA teacher Nate Moffett, WA fielded two teams of students to compete in a recent High School Business Language Competition event held at Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo.

WA students, Ines’ Schmid, Lovett Baker and Emmanuel Jauregui represented WA in the Spanish-speaking division while Leopold (Leo) Rohde, Fousse Traore, and Alex Delbecq represented in the French-speaking group.

The teams represented Wasatch Academy well with their presentations and the French group took third place in their division. The event is considered to

have been a superb learning experience for all the participants.

Over a three-week period, student teams were tasked with researching the company Cotopaxi and their product, Del Dia Backpack. The teams studied the market trends to create a business plan for marketing the product to young adults in Japan. The teams also had to study the target consumer in order for the plan to be considered a viable business plan, then present their plan.

The High School Business Language Competition in Spanish has been hosted for several years by the Marriott School of Business’ Global Management Center at Brigham Young University. This year, three additional languages, French, Mandarin and Arabic were added to the competition.

Tips to avoid deer vs vehicle collisions SALT LAKE CITY — Now that everyone has “sprung forward” with the recent time change most people will notice that evenings will have more light, but mornings will be darker, which means a lot of Utahns will be commuting during lower-visibility morning hours. During early hours, be wary of wandering animals.

During the winter, there is an increase in wildlife along the roadways, primarily due to big game animals migrating to lower elevations in search of feed, according to Daniel Olson, wildlife migration initiative coordinator for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR).

The migration period for deer is typically April and May, and then again in November which, coincidentally, is when the highest number of vehicle and deer collisions occur, Olson said.

“The peak time to hit deer is around November,” Olson said.

“It coincides with mating season and the migration. Animals are crossing more roads during the migration, and male deer move around a lot more to find mates.”

According to a DWR study, there were approximately 10,000 wildlife vs vehicle collisions in 2012, Olson said.

However, he estimates those numbers are lower now due to an increase in fencing and wildlife bridges that have been installed along migration routes across Utah highways.

Olson said deer are more active early in the morning and in the evenings, which coincides with busy commuting hours.

This is also when low-light

With the recent time change comes darker early morning hours, when visibility is more difficult. At that same time, deer and other animals are on the move. Drivers need to be on the lookout for animal crossings to avoid collisions. conditions make it difficult for drivers to see.

How to avoid wildlife Here are some tips from Wild Aware Utah to help drivers avoid wildlife collisions: • Be especially alert at dawn and dusk.

• Heed wildlife crossing signs. These signs are usually placed in areas known to have a high volume of wildlife/vehicle collisions.

• Be alert on roadways near wooded, agricultural and wetland areas and also near lakes and streams.

• Scan both sides of the road.

Invite passengers to help watch

for wildlife.

• Do not drive distracted. Put away food, phones and other distractions.

• When possible, use high beam headlights to illuminate the road.

• Look for an animal’s eyeshine, which can be seen from a distance. Slow down once an animal has been spotted near the roadside.

• Some animals travel in groups, so be sure to watch for additional animals if one has been seen.

• Do not throw trash out of any vehicle. Trash and food scraps can draw animals to

roadways.

If animal is seen If an animal is seen near the road, here are some additional suggestions: • Do not swerve for a deer or small animal. Stay in the lane and slow down.

• If several animals are standing in the road, do not try to drive through them or get out of the vehicle to chase or herd them. Honk the horn and flash the lights to encourage them to move on.

• If an animal has crossed the road, continue to drive slowly and be cautious because it may try to cross again.

If animal is hit What to do if an animal is hit with the vehicle: • Pull off the road and use the hazard lights if the car is undriveable.

• Do not try to approach an injured animal.

• Call 911 or contact the local police department if there are injuries or if the animal is in the roadway and could pose a threat to public safety.

For more information about wildlife/vehicle collisions or deer migration, contact the DWR wildlife migration initiative coordinator Daniel Olson at danielolson@utah.gov.

Stream treatment plans to help cutthroat trout in high Uintas VERNAL — Colorado River cutthroat trout are a fish prized across Utah. And a great place to catch them is the High Uinta Wilderness in the Uinta Mountains in the northeastern part of the state.

Unfortunately, habitat loss, coupled with cutthroats breeding with and competing with trout not native to the western United States, have caused dramatic declines in cutthroat trout populations across the West. That, in turn, has led to concerns about the species’ future.

To reduce the chance that cutthroats are listed under the Endangered Species Act, biologists with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) and the U.S. Forest Service are planning to treat waters in the High Uintas Wilderness to remove nonnative fish. Once the nonnative fish are removed, cutthroat trout will be reintroduced to the streams and lakes.

A final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for this proposed project has been prepared and will soon be available for public review. The document reviews potential effects to users and resources in the proposed project area and evaluates whether the project should proceed.

If approved, the project will remove nonnative brook trout in four drainages on the South Slope of the Uinta Mountains.

The treatments would occur from 2022 to 2034.

Tonya Kieffer-Selby, regional conservation outreach manager for the DWR, says even with the treatments, an-

and 37 lake acres; and Garfield Basin (Yellowstone drainage) — 13.5 stream miles and 176 lake acres.

“We recognize some anglers target these locations for brook trout,” Hedrick says, “but we had to pick large expansive areas that had natural barriers to prevent re-invasion and to ensure cutthroat trout would survive.”

“This is an opportunity,” she said, “to restore Colorado River cutthroat trout in their native range, protect the species in Utah and provide anglers with dedicated areas to fish for them.”

Anyone with questions about the treatment may call the DWR’s Northeastern Region office at (435) 781-9453.

If approved, more native cutthroat trout will be available to catch in the High Unitas. (Photo courtesy of the Utah DWR) glers will still have hundreds of miles of high Uinta mountain streams to fish for brook trout and other trout species.

“Brook trout will still be stocked in many of the same places,” she says, “just not in the four proposed project watersheds.”

Trina Hedrick, regional aquatics manager for the DWR, says for now, biologists will focus their initial efforts on the Sheep Creek drainage on the North Slope of the Uintas.

Even though the proposed projects for the South Slope wouldn’t start until 2022, she says it’s time to start the planning process. “Logistically,”

she says, “the treatments will be very challenging.”

How treatments occur Once the EIS is finalized, the DWR, in partnership with the Ashley National Forest, will chemically treat designated streams, and a few lakes, with rotenone. The treatment will remove brook trout that have established themselves in the proposed project area.

Rotenone is a natural substance that comes from the roots of a tropical plant in the bean family. It’s a piscicide (substance poisonous to fish), but it’s not dangerous to people, pets or other wildlife, especially in the extremely low

quantities biologists will use to treat the streams.

After all the treatments are complete, cutthroat trout will be restocked during the fall.

Two to three years after the treatment is over, the cutthroats will be big enough for anglers to catch.

Waters to be treated Here are the proposed project areas including stream miles and lake surface acreage: Fall Creek (Rock Creek drainage) — eight stream miles and 43 lake acres; Oweep Creek (Lake Fork drainage) — 12 stream miles and three lake acres; Ottoson Basin (Lake Fork drainage) — 5.5 stream miles

BLM, Forest Service grazing fees lowered in 2019 WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Federal grazing fee for 2019 will drop to $1.35 per animal unit month (AUM) for public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and $1.35 per head month (HM) for lands managed by the USDA Forest Service. This represents a decrease from the 2018 Federal grazing fee of $1.41 per AUM. An AUM or HM — treated as equivalent measures for fee purposes — is the use of public lands by one cow and her calf, one horse, or five sheep or goats for a month.

The newly calculated grazing fee was determined by a congressional formula and takes effect March 1. The fee will apply to nearly 18,000 grazing permits and leases administered by the BLM and nearly 6,500 permits administered by the Forest Service.

The formula used for calculating the grazing fee was established by Congress in the 1978 Public Rangelands Improvement Act and has remained in use under a 1986 presidential Executive Order.

Under that order, the grazing fee cannot fall below $1.35 per AUM/HM, and any increase or decrease cannot exceed 25 percent of the previous year’s

level.

The annually determined grazing fee is established using a 1966 base value of $1.23 per AUM/HM for livestock grazing on public lands in Western states. The figure is then calculated according to three factors — current private grazing land lease rates, beef cattle prices, and the cost of livestock production. In effect, the fee rises, falls, or stays the same based on market conditions.

“The BLM and Forest Service are committed to strong relationships with the ranching community and work closely with permittees to ensure public rangelands remain healthy, productive working landscapes,” said Brian Steed, BLM Deputy Director for Programs and Policy.

“Fifty percent of the collected grazing fees deposited into the U.S. Treasury are returned to the Range Betterment Fund for on-the-ground range improvement projects,” he said, “Portions of collected fees are also returned to the states for use in the counties where the fees were generated.”

The grazing fee on public lands administered by the BLM and the Forest Service applies in the following 16 Western

Winter being a pain in back? Try prevention tips OAKLAND, NJ — The onset of winter weather means challenging conditions for outdoor activities and lurking dangers to the human body – the back in particular.

Slipping on ice and shoveling snow cause many mishaps.

And, health professionals point out, cold weather alone makes the back vulnerable to injuries whether one is clearing the driveway, skiing, sledding, or working out. Muscles, tendons and ligaments in the back tighten and become less flexible, thus more prone to injury.

But while back problems may begin or become more pronounced in winter, Dr. Bradford Butler says there’s

a year-round prescription for protection, through prevention, and it starts with maintaining flexibility.

“Almost all spinal problems begin with a loss of flexibility,” says Butler (www.drbradfordbutler.com), a chiropractor and author of The Blueprint For Back Pain Relief: The Essential Guide To Non-Surgical Solutions. “The less flexible we are, the more stress the back is under; therefore, the more likely you are to have injury and breakdown.”

“Let’s face it,” says Dr. Butler, “Very few people value prevention. If we did, as a country, we wouldn’t have the world’s most expensive health care system. For preventing

back pain, maintenance care is always cheaper, faster, and longer-lasting than looking for a quick fix.”

Dr. Butler shares a six-point prevention strategy: 1.) Focus on stretching and flexibility. “Our body is designed to move,” Dr. Butler says. “Regular walking is a naturally occurring way to stay flexible. Yoga is a fantastic way to increase overall body flexibility, strength, and wellness.”

2.) Change the work environment. Dr. Butler says sitting for extended periods at work may be the biggest cause of back problems. “Sitting accelerates the breakdown of all parts of the spine that can cause pain,” he says. “Research

suggests sitting is the worst position for your lower back.

Get up and move around as much as possible. A standing desk is a good option.”

3.) Exercise regularly. “This is key to preventing back pain,” Dr. Butler says. “In addition to flexibility, strength that comes with consistent exercise is a main factor in avoiding injury.’

4.) Target nutrition and weight loss. Maintaining a healthy weight is important in preventing back pain. “The heavier you are, the more stress is transferred to your spine, muscles, and joints,” Dr. Butler says. “Eat a natural diet and avoid toxic and over processed foods. Healthy foods give your body the building blocks to heal and repair faster.”

5.) Seek chiropractic maintenance. “Having regular chiropractic care is an effective and safe way to prevent back and neck problems,” Dr. Butler says.

“Chiropractic adjustment mobilizes the joints of the

spinal segments, which prevents degeneration, injury, and pain.”

6.) Get massage treatments.

“Massage therapists are experts in relaxing tense muscles or working out trigger points and breaking up scar tissue,” Dr. Butler says. “Massage also helps you deal with stress, which leads to tension.”

“The old saying ‘An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure’ couldn’t be truer, especially when it comes to your back,” Dr. Butler says. “Prevention is an investment, not an expense.”

Heroes praised, FASTER Utah offers free tragedy prevention Ed SALT LAKE CITY — Two heroes have been praised by FASTER Utah for their contributions to save lives at their respective schools during recent school shootings. Blaine Gaskill of Maryland and Mark Dallas of Illinois both engaged attackers who opened fire in their schools within the past year.

Both heroes ran to the scene and bravely traded shots with aggressors. Officer Gaskill hit the murderer in his hand and stopped additional killings.

The attacker passed away from a self-inflicted gunshot. Sadly the first victim also passed away from her injuries.

Officer Dallas had a running gun battle with an assailant who opened fire in the school he protected. Only the perpetrator was wounded in the event as Dallas chased him from the school.

Brant Taylor with FASTER Utah, commented, “We need more people like these heroes who are trained to carry guns in schools to protect themselves and students. They need to be able to stop violence quickly and secure the scene so that it is safe to render first aid to the wounded.”

In 2016, six-year-old Jacob Hall of South Carolina lost his life in an elementary school shooting. Even though the murderer had been restrained, unfortunately, no one on site had the skills or equipment to place a tourniquet on Hall’s leg to save his life before emergency responders could arrive.

FASTER Utah also brings this critical element to the equa-

When tragedy strikes, it is hoped that people available on the scene will have the training needed to save lives. FASTER Utah is offering free life-saving skills training on March 23, 25 and 26, to school personnel to help prepare for aggressive threats. For more information, visit http://www.fasterutah.org. tion to prepare educators for potential school shootings.

FASTER Utah offers life-saving skills to teachers, administrators, and other school staff so they can be prepared for aggressive threats.

FASTER Utah empowers teachers and faculty with the tools and skills to quickly stop violence and render first aid, greatly reducing the chances of casualties. Advertising that trained individuals are on site to defend students is an effort to discourage predators.

Brant Taylor with FASTER Utah remarked, “We invite all school staff with concealed firearms permits to apply for a training scholarship at http:// www.fasterutah.org.

FASTER Utah has training scheduled during Spring Break on March 23, 25 and 26,

2019. School staff members interested in attending should take a concealed firearms class immediately if they have not done so already.”

Some concealed carry classes are offered at no cost to educators. Taylor suggested contacting instructors early and ask if they provide free concealed carry classes to school staff to prepare them for FASTER Utah.

Taylor concluded, “We believe that FASTER is the most responsible and cost-effective way to harden Utah schools. Many teachers and other school staff are already legally carrying firearms in schools. Giving our educators this advanced handgun and trauma first aid training will strengthen our schools from within.”

“Similar to the Federal Flight Deck Officer and Air Marshal programs,” Taylor said, “potential predators will think twice as we advertise that trained school personnel are on site that have skills on par with law enforcement.

FASTER Utah will make our schools less attractive targets to those tempted to murder school children to become infamous while committing suicide.”

About FASTER Utah Brant Taylor and his team have been serving Utah with firearm and trauma first aid training for more than a decade. To learn more about the program, visit the website at http://www.fasterutah.org or contact Brant Taylor at (801) 608-4095 or e-mail Brant at info@fasterutah.org.

Tax season here, time to gather BALTIMORE, MD — Now that it’s tax season, people might be gathering all of their forms and documentation from the previous year. Sometimes getting all that material together — receipts for donations, business expenses, and travel — can be overwhelming.

The Social Security 1099 (SSA-1099) or Benefit Statement is a tax form Social Security mails each year in January.

It shows the total amount of benefits that have been received from Social Security in the previous year, so people know how much Social Security income to report to the IRS on their tax return.

Luckily, Social Security has

Former girlfriend testifies in teen deaths PROVO, Utah (AP) — The former girlfriend of a Utah man accused of killing a teenage couple testified that she witnessed their deaths and the hiding of their bodies in a mine shaft.

Morgan Henderson testified inside a Provo courtroom on March 6 in the preliminary hearing for Jerrod Baum, who is charged with two counts of aggravated murder in the deaths of 17-year-old Brelynne

“Breezy” Otteson and 18-yearold Riley Powell.

Henderson told the court that the teens were tied up in the back of Powell’s Jeep, which Baum drove to the mine outside of Eureka.

She said Baum stabbed the teens and then threw their bodies into the mine.

Henderson has pleaded guilty to 10 counts of obstruction of justice and was sentenced to three years in jail.

Specialty crop grant applications sought SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Department of Agriculture and Food (UDAF) is seeking grant proposals for projects designed to increase production and availability of fruits and vegetables, and other specialty crops in Utah.

DODGE From AA1

Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. Because of treaties that obligated other countries to defend certain other nations, Germany, Russia, Great Britain, and France were all drawn into the war.

At that time, the Dodge Brothers car was a superior design with a four-cylinder L-head engine rated at 35 horsepower. It had a twelve-volt electrical system, which was rare for its day, and an electric starter. The 2,000-pound car had an allsteel body which stood seven feet from the ground and was finished in black paint.

The Dodge Brothers vehicles were highly acclaimed for their durability in military service during the U.S. Mexico Border War, where General “Blackjack” Pershing used them for staff and reconnaissance vehicles.

Because the Dodge Brothers car was said to be as dependable as the brothers were honest, the Dodge Brothers became the fourth best selling car in the United States during their first year in business.

In April 1916, Leonard Seeley and Robert Hinckley opened the Seeley-Hinckley Automobile Co. on Mt. Pleasant’s State Street to sell Chandler, Chalmers and Dort automobiles in a building owned by Ole Hansen at approximately 49 South State.

That first location was oneof-two buildings demolished in August 2018 to make room for construction of the new Wasatch Academy Engineering building to be completed later this year.

In March 1917, the Seeley-Hinckley Automotive Co. received a load of new Dodge cars to sell from their

By April 1917, the United States joined what became known as World War I by declaring war on Germany because of attacks upon U.S. ships in the Atlantic Ocean.

Subsequently, thousands of Dodge cars and light trucks were used in World War I, including over 8,000 touring cars and 2,600 commercial vehicles, such as screen-side trucks and panel vans, used primarily as ambulances and repair trucks. For years afterward, Dodge was the United States military’s primary supplier of light wheeled vehicles.

In August 1917, it was officially announced that the Dodge Brothers had chosen Seeley-Hinckley Auto Co. as their newly appointed dealers, with exclusive selling rights to the territory.

The reputation of the Dodge Brothers motor cars meant more sales, more demand for vehicles and more needed space to display and service the vehicles for customers.

The demand was global, to give an idea of the public demand it should be noted that in 1914 the Dodge Brothers manufacturing plant in Detroit was a plant of less than 20 acres in size. In 1917, the Dodge Brothers Works covered 72 acres of floor space, employed nearly 14,000 and produced more than 400 cars per day and was having a difficult time keeping up with the demand.

Sanpete High School has found great success in the Sterling Scholar program producing 12 winners and 23 runners up.

This year, North Sanpete hoped to repeat the winning tradition and the participants didn’t disappoint. Heading to the competition with a total of 15 students competing in several different categories, North Sanpete was able to place more students than any other high school in the Central Utah region, with a total of 9; Richfield High School and Manti High School were a close second with both placing seven students.

North Sanpete Sterling Scholar advisors Ben Cox and Jori Turpin were thrilled with the outcome. “You never really know how well our kids are going to do. Everyone that competes is so prestigious. We give our students tools and suggestions to help give them their best chance, but you just never know how we will perform because all of the competition is so impressive. Overall we’re really proud of our kids and the work they do. We’re also really grateful for the amazing mentors they have who have

dealership space in Mt. Pleasant, a new building was announced in April 1919. It would be built on what was known as “the old Peel corner,” 100 West Main Street.

Construction of the building began in July.

That new garage was said to be one of the largest in the state at the time. Measuring 55 by 200 feet, with floor space of about 12,500 feet. As a car dealership and garage, its capacity was 88 cars.

A grand opening was held Sept. 27, 1919. Celebration festivities included dancing, refreshments and the picture show “Mutt and Jeff Capture the Kaiser.”

Back in those days a new Dodge sedan or coupe cost $1,350. The Winter Touring Car or Roadster cost $1,050, while the basic Touring Car, Roadster or Commercial Car was only $8S5, (All prices f. o. b. Detroit) F.O.B. is the acronym for Free On Board and refers to the shipping charge to get the car. F.O.B. Detroit means that if a buyer picks the car up in Detroit there is no shipping charge, but there would be shipping charges added to the car’s selling price to pick it up in Mt. Pleasant.

In today’s automotive market, all new vehicles have a destination (shipping) charge listed on the window sticker.

People can look at photos to see what a 1919 Dodge touring car looked like, but the easiest way to see one in action is by watching the 1946 movie “It’s

a Wonderful Life.” In the film, George Bailey, played by actor Jimmy Stewart, drives one. It is the same car that George crashes into a tree. He later lets out a cheer of delight at the sight of his broken down Dodge. Incidentally, that car is still in operation today, just do a Google search to see the details.

The construction of Seeley-Hinckley Automotive Company building is representative of early twentieth century commercial construction with subtle suggestions of art deco. It is four bays wide along the front, with decorative brick work in flat patterns and originally had splayed entries.

In 1927, Robert Hinckley moved the Dodge dealership to Ogden, but the Mt. Pleasant shop was apparently used as an additional show room until April 1929, when it was sold to Osmond Crowther of Fountain Green Garage and then used as a Ford dealership.

Over time the building has been host for several uses after being converted to a multi-use building. Records indicate that in 1923 part of the building was used for the U.S. Post Office. In 1932, Eatinger’s Sandwich Shop Café used the building.

At the rear there was a fire station at one time. It also housed Squire Jewelry and Floral, Forsey Ice Cream and a barber shop in the front section. Valley Builders Lumber was located in the central section, and six residential apartments in the north section.

The building was the home of The Pyramid newspaper for several years. In 1959, Elvin Francis Frandsen opened the “Triangle Lounge” which has been in operation by various owners for 60 years and is currently known as Stanley’s Triangle Lounge.

In about 2001, one front section became the home of Hub City Pizza. That section is now where Main Street Pizza resides. There are still apartments located in the north section.

prepared them. Every year the students continue to impress us,” Turpin said.

Of the nine students who placed this year, three were the overall winners in their category. Lucy Quinn, Carli Johansen, and Brynne Lamb, all took home the first place prize.

Lucy Quinn, who is a member of the National Honor Society, performed in multiple school productions, and was varsity soccer captain, placed first in Art. This is the third consecutive year that North Sanpete has won the Art category.

Head of the Art Department Paul Allred attributes the great success of the Art Sterling Scholars to “students who are willing to put in the work, and parents and mentors who encourage them.” Allred also gives students several opportunities outside of the classroom to display their work in art shows.

Should their work not be chosen for an award, Allred points out that, “We try to use those experiences as stepping stones so they can learn to be successful at future events.”

Carli Johansen, who is a member of the Future Business Leaders of America, served as Public Relations Director on her town’s Youth Council, and

even started her own business, placed first in Business and Marketing.

Lastly, Brynne Lamb, who was selected for All State Choir, and also nominated by the Utah High School Theatre Awards for Top Ten Best Actresses, placed first in Speech and Drama.

The remaining six students who placed were runners up in their category and have equally impressive resumes. Hayes Bailey placed in Trade and Technical Education; Coldir Cox placed in Computer Information and Technology; Kable Cox placed in Social Science; Abigail Clawson placed in English and Literature; Lucy Anderson placed in World Language; and finally, Marley Booher placed in Music.

Besides the prize money, and scholarships offered to the winners and runners up, all of the participating Sterling Scholars were offered a partial scholarship to Snow College by Craig Mathie, a representative of the school.

Overall, North Sanpete is very proud of their Sterling Scholar program. Year after year the program has proven to be quite a success and North Sanpete hopes to see many more years of achievement to come.
