Sanpete Valley Hospital named a Top 100 Access Hospital

Sanpete Valley Hospital has just been named as a 2021 Top 100 Critical Access Hospital by the Chartis Center for Rural Health, a national health care quality measurement company, for the third consecutive year.

For the past 11 years, the Chartis Center’s annual rankings have recognized outstanding performance among the nation’s rural facilities. Hospitals are scored in 36 independent indicators across eight categories, such as quality of care, patient outcomes, affordability, and financial efficiency.

This award is given to hospi-

tals who scored the highest in the nation in areas like quality, cost, and patient experience.

Each year, the rural hospitals are analyzed through the lens of something called the “Hospital Strength INDEX,” which is the industry’s most comprehensive and objective assessment of rural hospital performance in the United States.

Hospitals like Sanpete Valley Hospital are considered the best in the nation at what they do and serve as a benchmark for other rural facilities as they strive to achieve similar results and provide a blueprint for success-

fully navigating and improving healthcare.

Aaron Wood, Sanpete Valley Hospital Administrator, says, “This achievement is a reflection of our constant commitment to provide quality healthcare to our community. Our caregivers provide exceptional care and dedication to our community, which allows them to stay closer to home for their healthcare needs.” This achievement is especially meaningful considering the current volatility of rural hospitals nationwide.

Sanpete Valley Hospital has been name one of the Top 100 critical access hospitals in the country for 2021

Spring is here!!!!

Even with “Spring in Utah” sending an occasional cold snowy storm, longer days, warmer sunshine, and nesting birds bring hope and joy. All over Sanpete County residents are getting ready for the growing season to begin.

For one hundred and sixty years the Sanpete Valley has been home to ranchers, farmers and gardeners who have relied on the land to provide a sustainable living. Today’s lifestyle is a little different, but the Sanpete Valley residents are still ranching, farming and gardening.

On Thursday, April 15th the Mt. Pleasant Library will host a gardening and agricultural workshop at the Community Center at 10 State Street across from the library. All are welcome. Face coverings are requested.

Local resident speakers at the workshop are Ed Staker and Matt Palmer. The program and key speaking points are still being finalized but expect to come away with lots of useful information on gardening, farming and related issues.

Ed Staker taught at the North Sanpete High School for 40 years.

Staker retired from teaching in December of 2018, after three generations of students learned science

He taught with wit and humor, always finding fun ways to demonstrate the wonders of science.

Matt Palmer is an associate professor of agriculture and natural resources with the USU Sanpete County Extension. The Extension service is a cooperative program sponsored jointly by counties and Utah State University. Palmer is involved in developing research

and educational materials and programs to assist the agricultural community with production goals. In addition to working with youth on 4-H programs, Palmer is involved in a program exploring “cover crops” as a strategy to help protect crops from drought

and erratic rainfall. In a project that will continue for the next few years, the Sanpete office of USU Extension planted some test plots with cover crops and is gathering data on crop performance. The Please see LIBRARY, Page A2

EPHRAIM

Prayers from Hindu scriptures to open council meeting Ephraim City Council will start its April 7 meeting on with Hindu prayers, containing hymns from world’s oldest extant scripture.

Distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed will deliver the invocation from ancient Sanskrit scriptures remotely before the Ephraim City Council.

After Sanskrit delivery, he then will read the English interpretation of the prayers. Sanskrit is considered a sacred language in Hinduism and root language of Indo-European languages.

Zed, who is the president of

Universal Society of Hinduism, will recite from Rig-Veda, the oldest scripture of the world still in common use; besides lines from Upanishads and Bhagavad-Gita (Song of the Lord), both ancient Hindu scriptures.

He plans to start and end the prayer with “Om”, the mystical syllable containing the universe, which in Hinduism is used to introduce and conclude religious work.

Reciting from Brahadaranyakopanishad, Rajan Zed plans to say “Asato ma sad gamaya, Ta-

maso ma jyotir gamaya, Mrtyor mamrtam gamaya”; which he will then interpret as “Lead us from the unreal to the real, Lead us from darkness to light, and Lead us from death to immortality.” Reciting from Bhagavad-Gita, he proposes to urge councilmembers and others present to keep the welfare of others always in mind.

Zed, a global Hindu and interfaith leader, has been bestowed with World Interfaith Leader Award. Zed is senior fellow and religious advisor to Foundation

for Religious Diplomacy, on the Advisory Board of The Interfaith Peace Project, etc. He has been panelist for “On Faith”, a prestigious interactive conversation on religion produced by The Washington Post; and produces a weekly multi-faith panel “Faith Forum” in a Gannett publication for over ten years.

Hinduism, oldest and third largest religion of the world, has about 1.2 billion adherents and moksh (liberation) is its ultimate goal. There are about three million Hindus in USA. Rajan Zed

Berneitta Larsen Johnson 1927–2021

Berneitta was born in Fairview, Utah on June 5, 1927 to Frank and LaPriel Larsen. She grew up quickly, developing a strong work ethic helping on the family farm.

Berneitta married Chesley Johnson in 1944.

They made their home in Fountain Green, Utah and became the parents to three sons.

She served faithfully in many church callings and demonstrated a deep love for her Savior. She was blessed with a real skill for crocheting and spent her free time at this hobby.

Berneitta is survived by two sons Gary (SueAnn) of

Lewiston, Utah and Keith (Lois) of Spanish Fork, Utah, and her sister Mary Pallies of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

Her husband Chesley

and son Michael preceded her in death.

She is adored by her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren.

Berneitta contracted COVID-19 in December 2020 which caused her health to spiral downward.

Unable to recover from this horrible disease. She passed away peacefully on March 27, 2021 in Spanish Fork, Utah.

The family wants to give special thanks to Dr. Grant Rasmussen, the wonderful staff at Legacy House, Spanish Fork and compassionate staff

of Bristol Hospice. Also to her special friends and neighbors for their kindness and friendship they have shown our dear mother.

Due to the fact that COVID-19 is still lingering in our midst only a graveside service will be held. This will take place at the Fountain Green Cemetery at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 3, 2021.

The family has asked that family and friends attending to please wear masks, social distance and follow all CDC guidelines in reference to stopping the spread of this terrible COVID-19 disease.

Seven tips for raising responsible children

BY KATHY RIGGS

USU Extension professor

That stability is partially

In the past the Mt. Pleasant library has hosted workshops on everything from growing microgreens, building a greenhouse, chocolate dipping, insta-pot cooking and

maintenance of fruit trees.

After suspending workshops for several months due to the Covid lockdown, programs are resuming. Workshops are usually held in the children’s library, but the workshop on gardening and agriculture has been moved to a larger venue to accommodate social distancing since good attendance is expected.

As a parent, what would you say is your top goal for your children?

A common response is that parents want to help their children grow into responsible adults. This may include smaller goals such as helping them have the skills necessary to be productive members of society and helping them be healthy, happy and able to take care of themselves. To encourage and help direct parents toward achieving this goal, Cornell University Extension, Jefferson County, has created a parent guide that identifies and breaks down seven parenting tips that are worth considering.

1. Don’t do things for your children that they can do for themselves.

Even young children can help with chores and get themselves dressed in the morning. Resist the urge to take over and solve all your child’s problems. Instead, help children learn to help themselves.

2. Be clear and consistent about your expectations.

Make sure your children understand the rules of the

household. Be consistent with your messages. If the rule is that children must finish homework before watching TV, then stick with it. Give children advance notice if you expect certain behavior. This is helpful when taking them to the grocery store or on a family vacation, for example.

3. Teach skills and give positive feedback.

Don’t just tell your child what to do — include how to do it. For example, a young child may be told to clean up his or her toys, but showing what you mean usually works best. Older children may benefit from written step-by-step instructions. For example, to clean the bathroom they may need to know: spray down the shower walls and floor with “X” cleaner, leave for 5 minutes and then rinse with warm water and use a squeegee to dry. Give positive and specific feedback for a task or assignment done well. For example: “I love the way you folded your clothes so neatly before putting them in the drawer.”

Spring Breaking

I

t’s that time of year again.

This week is spring break for Sanpete’s two school districts. At least they had the decency to wait for spring to officially arrive before they started their breaks. March 20th was the first day of spring. Snow college already had their break the second week of March.

Easter is this Sunday. 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. I suppose students need a break from memorizing the Pythagorean theorem, writing essays about how the electoral college works, and learning the difference between an adverb and a dangling participle.

Young kids need time off from learning arithmetic, fohneticks, and school lunch pizza. (I wonder if the pizza is still two inches thick, like it was in my day?)

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 actually 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 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.

The missus and I did a 24-

hour spring break get-away this past weekend to the St. George area. We left Sanpete Friday mid-afternoon in time for a 7:30 p.m. concert at the Tuacahn Amphitheater in Ivins.

It was Colbie Caillat’s first concert in a year. She’s an impressive songwriter and performer.

There were nearly 2,000 of us there. Everyone was masked up and obeying the Covid-19 rules. It was the biggest gathering we’ve been to for more than a year. It was a coat and blanket night. Colbie and the band braved the cool temperatures and put on a great show wearing clothes that would have been more suited for a much warmer night.

We ended up driving back as far as Cedar City after the show.

Room rates were super high in St. George. Can you imagine a room priced at $466.00 in an old, no frills vintage 50’s era motel on the Boulevard? (Thanks spring break!) I couldn’t either, so we booked in Cedar and got into the new’ish, pet-friendly Comfort Inn for less than a 1/3 of that other rate.

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 once 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 6:00 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.

I’m wondering what Sanpete actually 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. — Merrill

Cox announces vaccine eligibility to all Utahns over 18

BY RYNE WILLIAMS

The Pyramid

As the COVID-19 vaccine rollout continues to increase and as case numbers are beginning to fall, Gov. Spencer Cox spoke to the success the state has seen with COVID-19 vaccine distribution during his monthly press conference on Thursday. He also announced that all adult Utahns would be eligible to make a COVID-19 vaccination appointment starting on Wednesday.

Some of the statistics that Cox went over during the press conference included the Beehive State’s seven-day rolling average of cases being the lowest since Sept. 13, a decline in COVID-19 cases from the previous week, and a growth in consumer confidence that is helping the economy recover as COVID-19 cases go down.

The governor also announced that Carbon and Summit counties have moved to moderate on the COVID-19 transmission index while San Juan and Duchesne counties have been moved to low.

As of the end of last week, 1,080,039 Utahns have received one or both doses of a vaccine, which is a 143,000dose weekly increase. Cox added that 81% of adults ages 70 and up, 70% of those between 65 to 69, and 40% of those between the ages of 50 to 64 have received at least one dose.

“We have been very pleased

cinations, but more vaccines are needed to do so. He noted that the state has been in contact with the White House and manufacturers and promised that more doses will be coming into the state by the end of March.

This includes a large increase in the manufacturing of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, as well as continued increases in the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.

While this increase is expected in the next couple of weeks, 15% of the state’s doses next week are still available and have not been scheduled, according to Cox.

cine is one that Cox has kept an eye on. He said that demand should outweigh availability.

“Because of that, the state health department, as well as our local health departments, have asked me to open up vaccinations to everyone in the state earlier than we had planned,” Cox said. “We spent the evening in discussions with our vaccination partners and collectively made the decision that as of next Wednesday, we will authorize vaccinations for every adult in the state.”

Children do best when they know what to expect.

Expert From A2

4. Create a home that helps children act responsibly.

Work with children to organize their space and belongings.

This might mean providing bins and shelves they can reach.

Make sure children know where to find cleaning supplies to do their chores and clean up spills.

Set up an area for homework that is comfortable, well-lit and that minimizes distractions.

5. Teach children that mistakes are an opportunity to learn.

Everybody makes mistakes.

Try not to over-react. Instead,

view mistakes as a time to make new plans and take better actions in the future.

6. Let children experience the natural consequences of their behavior. When children don’t act responsibly, don’t be a “helicopter” parent who always rushes in to fix the mistake – unless it is dangerous to their personal safety. Instead, let children experience the results of their actions.

7. Be a positive role model.

Speak positively about your work and chores. Don’t complain about all you have to do.

Instead, take pride in the things you do well.

When you make a mistake,

admit it, then show how you will correct it.

These tips come from the publication found at: http:// ccejefferson.org/parenting under Resources for You, Raising Responsible Children.

A few final take-aways for parents include: nn Children do best when they know what to expect. nn Letting children know when they do well encourages responsible behavior. nn Remember that you are in charge of your home. nn Keep in mind that when children “choose” their behavior, they must also choose the consequences.

After a week with the new turbo version of this smaller hatchback, we came to love and enjoy the injection of speed that had been added, not to mention the sleek new design that comes inherent with any new Mazda’s look.

After having won World Car Design of the Year for the new fourth-generation Mazda3, this new look will have heads turning and folks asking questions. We felt this is one of the best new designs to come out of the new “Kodo design” look from the company. As Mazda continues to develop and enhance this type of design, it is done to give each of their vehicle an underlying emotional connection with each and every owner.

In our opinion, this is a job well done as they continue to inspire and connect with those of us who are looking for more than just a way to get around each day. After a week, we found ourselves looking for reasons to get out and drive the Mazda3, even though that week was full of cold winter conditions.

In the past, we have had some experience with a Mazda3 Speed as Craig’s sister Christi has owned one since

with the increased power of a turbocharger.

The same 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine is included in all models, but when the turbocharger is added the company is only offering it in a six-speed automatic transmission.

Christi was very interested in the new Mazda3 as hers is now aging with over 90,000 miles on it, but it has served her well with very few minor repairs over the years. With that in mind, when we heard there were a pair of Mazda3 turbos in the fleet, we specifically requested the hatchback for her to get a better idea of whether this might be a replacement for her Speed.

After taking her out for a couple of different drives in the new hatchback, she had become very enamored with the new look and especially the inside design — and most importantly, the more sophisticated and defined ride of the car.

Her older Speed is not equipped with all the new suspension, safety and technology additions, as is the new Mazda3. Her only hesitation was the fact it did not come with a manual transmission. For most aficiona-

dos, this may continue to be a hesitation if looking to move to a newer Mazda.

We love a good manual transmission and have had many vehicles over the years that have had a manual for a gearbox. As we have become more age advanced, however,

We found this one upgrade to the Mazda took it to another level of driving excitement, as we zipped around in it during the week.

We agreed that this version of the new Mazda3 would definitely have to be put in the “hot hatch” category with that kind of power and is now extremely close to the power of the old Speed3. In fact, we would bet it would be a very close race indeed between the two models.

Another great point would we have come to enjoy more and more an automatic trans- have to be the old Speed3 was expected to get 18 miles per mission, as it makes for an gallon, and after a week with easier everyday driver.

Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel really made for a much better ride, as early morning temperatures were dipping into the teens.

The all-wheel drive system worked without a hitch and added some security during a spring snowfall.

Safety-wise, the new Mazda comes complete with all the automaker has to offer, including adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross path detection with pedestrian monitor, front automatic brake assist and road sign recognition.

Also included in the Premium package was a very nice heads-up display that would project speed, safety warnings and navigation when being used.

Will Christi end up with a new Mazda3? We think that after the few rides we gave her it may indeed be in her future — a trade to a new Mazda with an extra dose of speed and technology.

191ST ANNUAL GENERAL CONFERENCE

What once was scattered, must needs be gathered

BY GENELLE PUGMIRE

The Pyramid

Editor’s note: The following story appeared in our special LDS Conference magazine, which offers a preview of the upcoming 191st Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was delivered as part of Saturday’s weekend edition of the Daily Herald. The theme of this magazine edition is “Gathering Israel.” We will be running the magazine stories online at heraldextra.com this week in the leadup to conference.

The notion of the gathering of Israel is as old as the ancient Bible prophets Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Before the gathering, though, there had to be a scattering — and that is where this important story begins.

President Russell M. Nelson, president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has said, “The gathering of Israel is the most important thing taking place on the earth today. Nothing else compares in magnitude, nothing else compares in importance, nothing else compares in majesty.”

During the October 2020 Semiannual General Conference, Nelson invited members of the church to spend the next six months on studying about the gathering of Israel. This publication on the gathering, and the articles in it, is an invitation to understand the church’s beliefs in the gathering of Israel and why it is so important to them.

There is much more that could be written on the subject, but this is a glimpse into one of the doctrines of the church.

Like the prophet Abraham, members of the church believe they are tied to God and become the direct heirs of the same blessings Abraham was given by God through covenants or, in other words, Godly promises.

It also is true that Jesus Christ was a descendent of Abraham. The

church believes Jesus Christ was the Jehovah of the Old Testament and the one with whom Abraham covenanted.

The name of the church states that members are devoted to Christ as their Savior, the Son of God, the Redeemer of mankind.

The gathering of his sheep, as he told his apostles of old, is the church membership’s greatest duty as they prepare for his second coming.

The Scattering

Various scriptures from the Old Testament to LDS Church scriptures, including the Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price, refer to Abraham receiving the higher priesthood and other covenants. Because of this, the LDS Church teaches that Abraham received a promise that all of the blessings attached to these covenants would be offered to his posterity.

The LDS Church calls this the Abrahamic Covenant. Members of the church believe the restoration of this covenant was why the restoration of the gospel was needed in the last days. For through it, all the nations of the earth are blessed, according to church doctrine.

It is part of Abraham’s posterity, the children of Jacob, whose name God changed to Israel, who did not follow their father’s or grandfather’s teachings and they were “scattered among the heathen nations.”

Over hundreds of years, the children of Israel were either held in bondage or ruled by kings. It was after the death of King Solomon that Israel revolted and divided into tribes.

God’s children, the house of Israel were spurning him and turning the hearts and minds from him, according to the scriptures.

In 721 B.C., the northern king-

sums up what missionaries (the men are called Elders) will do to help gather Israel. The first verse of the hymn written by Cyrus H. Whellock (1813-1894) with music

by Thomas H. Bayly (1797-1879): “Ye Elders of Israel come join now with me, and seek out the righteous where e’re they may be.

On desert, on mountain, on land or on sea, and bring them to Zion the pure and the free.”

The members of the church have been admonished by Elder Dieter ISAAC HALE, THE PYRAMID FILE PHOTO F. Uchtdorf to pray — not only for the missionaries to find the elect, President Russell M. Nelson, president and prophet of the church, and his but also to pray daily with all their wife, sister Wendy Watson Nelson, wave to the audience as they exit after the afternoon session of the 188th Semiannual General Conference of The Church heart that they will find those of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints held Oct. 6, 2018, at the church’s Conference who will come and see, come and Center in Salt Lake City. help, and come and stay.
