Driving forward using a rearview mirror at Fairview Elementary
Students picks favorite objects from museum In March/April of this year, the staff of Fairview Museum and Fairview Elementary collaborated to bring students to the museum to learn about and connect with their local community. Each student was given the opportunity to choose a favorite exhibited object or image from the museum collection that appealed to them personally. Museum and school educators then collected
photographs of and statements about the chosen objects from each student. The new exhibition showcases the photographs side by side with each child’s matching statement. As part of this ongoing community project, family members of Fairview Elementary students and other adults living in Fairview and Sanpete County are invited to attend the museum and consider their own thoughts, impressions, and knowledge about the presented images in the show. If safety guidelines permit, a
closing social will be held just prior to the removal of the exhibit. All participants, families, and community members are invited to attend and participate in an exchange of stories and memories. The closing social will be held on Friday, May 14th at 6:30pm. Special thanks go out to all the Museum Staff, Fairview Elementary Teachers, and especially Principal Allynne Mower. Funding to cover print costs has been provided through a grant from the BYU Art Department.

Sanpete County hosts several museums. The largest, by far, is the Fairview Museum of History and Art that is housed in two buildings and has several outdoor exhibits. It features a full scale replica of a nearly fully intact Columbian mammoth that was unearthed on the nearby Wasatch Plateau in 1988 while doing excavation work on Huntington Reservoir.
Financial literacy a focus in April Permits
generate $3.1M for wildlife projects SALT LAKE CITY — Several large wildlife conservation and habitat projects have been funded after more than $3.1 million was committed to projects during the annual conservation permit project funding meeting held on April 1. The Utah Conservation Permit Program was launched in 1980 in an effort to increase funding for conservation projects throughout Utah. Each year, the Utah Wildlife Board designates a small percentage of limited-entry and once-in-a-lifetime hunting permits as “conservation and expo permits.”

April is National Financial Literacy Month, established in 2003 to teach Americans the importance of creating and maintaining healthy financial habits that lead to fiscal resiliency.
Pandemic increases financial challenges of many Americans April is National Financial Literacy Month, established in 2003 to teach Americans the importance of creating and maintaining healthy financial habits that lead to fiscal resiliency. According to Amanda Christensen, Utah State University Extension associate professor, the average score on a national financial literacy test is a dismal 65 out of 100. While Utah fares better than the national average, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought financial challenges for many. Millions have lost jobs, businesses and savings through
no fault of their own. Many still struggle with basic expenses. There are also those who have been able to maintain consistent work and have managed satisfactorily through the pandemic. “Financial wellness can affect other aspects of our wellness,” she said. “The time we take to learn smart money principles and improve our financial well-being is time well spent.” The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, combined with a review of research and consultation with leading experts, found that financial well-being includes four elements: having control over day-to-day and month-to-month finances; having the capacity to absorb a financial shock; being on track to meet your financial goals; and
having the financial freedom to make the choices that allow you to enjoy life. Christensen said to think of financial well-being as the feeling of having financial security and financial freedom of choice, both in the present and when considering the future. “Financial success and happiness take planning,” she said. “Evaluate your financial situation relative to your career choice, define your financial goals, develop a plan of action to achieve your goals, and implement a spending plan to monitor and control your progress. Then review your financial wellness periodically and make any necessary changes.” To celebrate Financial Literacy Month, free webinars will be
held on Mondays in April with content addressing common financial “spring cleaning” topics including: loan consolidation pros and cons, April 12; how to look for red flags/errors in your credit report, April 19; and how to budget for emergencies and other variable expenses, April 26. Christensen will provide financial tips and tricks on her blog, utahmoneymoms.com, and will share information about her favorite fun financial reads on Instagram and Facebook. Also available is the self-paced, video-based PowerPay Money Master Online Course that teaches real-life money smarts regarding personal financial vision.

Conservation projects
The conservation projects that are funded by these special permits are proposed to Utah’s Watershed Restoration Initiative, a Utah Department of Natural Resources partnership-based program launched in 2006 to improve high-priority watersheds throughout the state. Proposals for the projects are due around the first week of January each year, and anyone can submit a proposal. After reviewing all the proposals, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and WRI committees decide which habitat and conservation projects are of the highest priority and then give the conservation groups an opportunity to review all the projects. Those groups then decide during the annual meeting which projects to fund. “These funds and projects help improve wildlife habitat and watershed health throughout the state, leading to healthier and more abundant wildlife populations and Please see WILDLIFE, Page A2

Interior secretary tours Bears Ears BY SOPHIA EPPOLITO
Associated Press/ Report for America
SALT LAKE CITY — For decades, a public lands tugof-war has played out over a vast expanse of southern Utah where red rocks reveal petroglyphs and cliff dwellings and distinctive twin buttes bulge from a grassy valley. A string of U.S. officials has heard from those who advocate for broadening national monuments to protect the area’s many archaeological and cultural sites, considered sacred to surrounding tribes, and those who fiercely oppose what they see as federal overreach. On Thursday, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland was the latest cabinet official to visit Bears Ears National Monument — and the first Indigenous one. Haaland, a member of Laguna Pueblo in New Mexico, met with tribes and elected officials at Bears Ears as she prepares to submit recommendations on whether to reverse President Donald Trump’s decision to downsize that site and Grand Staircase-Escalante, another Utah national monument. “I know that decisions about public lands are incredibly impactful to the people who live nearby. But not just to us, not to just the folks who are here today, but people for generations to come,” Haaland told reporters during a news conference in the town of Blanding. “It’s our obligation to make sure that we protect lands for future generations so they can have the same experiences that the governor and I experienced today.” The visit underscores Haaland’s unique position as the first Native American to lead a department that has broad authority over tribal nations, as well as energy development and other uses for the country’s sprawling federal lands. “She brings something that no other cabinet secretary has brought, which is that her Indigenous communities are coming with her in that room,” said Char Miller, a professor of environmental analysis at Pomona College. Miller said the outcome of the negotiations will shed light on how the Biden administration plans to respond to other public lands disputes and will likely impact subsequent conversations with other states on natural resources. Haaland faces competing interests: Tribes across the

S RICK BOWMER, ASSOCIATED PRESS
U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland looks on during a news conference following a visit to Bears Ears National Monument on April 8 in Blanding. Haaland is visiting Utah as she prepares to submit a review on national monuments in the state. Residents there have both staunchly supported establishing and increasing the size of national monuments, and fiercely rallied against them. U.S. hailed her confirmation as a chance to have their voices heard and their land and rights protected, while Republican leaders have labeled her a “radical” who could, along with President Joe Biden, stunt oil and gas development and destroy thousands of jobs. Pat Gonzales-Rogers, executive director of the Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition, said he looked forward to Haaland seeking tribes’ input, which he called a “far cry” from her predecessors in the Trump administration. He noted Haaland is familiar with the landscape — Bears Ears contains many sites of spiritual importance to New Mexico’s pueblos — but acknowledged she had a responsibility to hear from all sides. “She is the interior secretary for all of us, and that also requires her to engage other groups.” The coalition wants the monument restored to its original size, or even enlarged, but Gonzales-Rogers said he hoped Haaland’s visit would at least be a step toward more certainty. “All parties would like to see some permanence, and they don’t want it to vacillate between either administrations or political ideology,” he said. Prominent Utah Republicans, including U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney and new Gov. Spencer Cox, have expressed concern with the review under Biden’s administration and demanded state leaders be involved. Haaland met with them, along with Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson and U.S. Rep. Blake Moore during her visit.
The Utah delegation called on Biden to work with Congress and others toward a permanent legislative fix regarding the monuments’ borders and management, The Salt Lake Tribune reported. “Can we find the solutions? I think there is an opportunity for that, to provide the resources that are needed,” Cox told reporters Thursday. “But all of those things can only be done through legislation. It can’t be done through an executive order.” Former President Barack Obama proclaimed Bears Ears a national monument in 2016. The site was the first to receive the designation at the specific request of tribes. Its boundaries were downsized by 85% under the Trump administration, while Grand Staircase-Escalante was cut nearly in half. The reductions paved the way for potential coal mining, and oil and gas drilling on lands that were previously off-limits. Activity was limited because of market forces. Since Trump downsized the monuments, more visitors have come to the sites and put natural and cultural resources at risk, said Phil Francis, chair of the Coalition to Protect America’s National Parks. “Every day that goes by leaves the irreplaceable resources at Bears Ears and Grand Staircase vulnerable to damage or destruction from looting, vandalism or other threats as a result of lack of protective management,” Francis said ahead of Haaland’s visit. Environmental, tribal, paleontological and outdoor recre-
ation organizations are suing to restore the monuments’ original boundaries, arguing presidents don’t have legal authority to change monuments their predecessors created. On the flip side, Republicans have argued Democratic presidents misused the Antiquities Act signed by President Theodore Roosevelt to designate monuments beyond what’s necessary to protect archaeological and cultural resources. Haaland will be a key player in deciding what comes next. She has said she will follow Biden’s agenda, not her own, on oil and gas drilling, and told reporters at a briefing last week that her report to the president will reflect conversations with people who know and understand the area. The administration has said the decision to review the monuments is part of an expansive plan to tackle climate change and reverse the Trump administration’s “harmful policies.” But Mike Noel, a former state representative and vocal critic of expanding the monuments, said it would be a mistake for Biden’s administration to “go back and rub salt in the wounds” by reversing Trump’s action. He said he fears that not allowing local and state officials to make these decisions will only further divide those involved. “It’s never a good thing when decisions like this are made from Washington, D.C.,” Noel said. “I just think it’s being done wrong, and I hope that the new secretary recognizes that.”

How do these permits benefit Utah hunters? Since 2001, conservation permits have generated more than $59 million for conservation work in Utah. If not for the revenue from these permits, Utah would have to substantially raise hunting permit fees for residents or offer a larger percentage of high-cost permits to nonresidents. The DWR currently issues about 90% of Utah’s limited-entry permits to Utah hunters through its hunt drawings. The conservation groups that participated in the funding meeting included: Mule Deer Foundation National Wild Turkey Federation Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Safari Club International Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife Utah Archery Association Utah Wild Sheep Foundation
ome time back, I discovered a pair of pants in a closet (I have clothes in multiple closets), which were neatly folded and hanging on a standard, wire clothes hanger. Don’t ask me why I still have them. They say (whoever “they” is) that fashions just cycle around and you can just save your clothing because sooner or later they’ll be back in style. I think these particular pants could be saved until Gabriel blows his horn and they wouldn’t be back “in.” I won’t even talk about the waist size issue. If pale yellow, cuffed, bell bottom pants are ever in again, I’d never fit into my pair. Back in the day, I loved those pants. Those pants were hanging on a wire hanger which had newspaper draped over the bottom wire so as to create a rounded surface from which my slacks could hang. I immediately remembered where I had learned that trick. In the sixties, my Boy Scout leader took our troop on a field trip one night to B – L (read that: B Bar L) a clothing store in Richfield. Bill Toomer, the “B” of B – L gave the rough and tumble boys of Troop 601 a seminar on taking care of our clothes. You can imagine how excited we were about that. It ranked right up there with the table manners and proper grammar seminars. We were shown all sorts of things including shoetrees, clothes brushes, different types of fabric, and, most importantly: pants hangers. We were informed that wearing wrinkled pants was in the same league as being carriers of mumps, measles and diphtheria. Successful people don’t wear wrinkled pants. Wrinkled pants are the sign of a wrinkled intellect and eroded morals. America’s arch enemies Chairman Mao and Premier Khrushchev want you to have wrinkled pants. I’m not totally sure if that’s what was said, but that was the message I absorbed. The advice that saved me that night from a feeling of being thrust down to “pant wrinkle hell” was Bill’s tip about putting newspaper on wire hangers. “If you can’t afford special hangers, use this trick,” he said as he demonstrated.
This was great news. Most of us felt lucky to have the few pairs of pants we had, let alone the extravagance of special, wooden, hinged hangers. So, I joined the anti-wrinkled pants crusade that night. Who says kids don’t listen? I know you’re dying to know what newspapers I found on the hanger under the “historical pants.” One section of newspaper was part of the sports page from a May 1975 edition of the Contra Costa Times. The other was the “Sunday Scenes” section from the April 27, 1975, edition of the San Francisco Examiner. I was in college at that time. I worked a summer job doing door-to-door sales in the “Bay Area” and lived in Walnut Creek. I leafed through the papers. It was strange. As I turned the pages, I thought back to the times of learning to hang up pants and a summer in Northern California. I also decided to try the Mint Pull Taffy recipe from the Examiner. A concept emerged. It’s not a new concept, but one that lingers under the surface for many of us. It’s that memories are often tied up in seemingly insignificant objects we accumulate. Some of these objects are with us purposely and some are collected just by happenstance. A clothes hanger, an old record album that used to belong to a friend, a seashell, a pebble from a mountain stream, a ticket stub, a dried rose, a dog collar – the list could go on and on. Look around you. See what is squirreled away in special places and in not so special places. There may be things that “speak” to you. If the words spoken are important enough, you may want to tell someone else about it. Or better yet, write something down about it. It may be that you’ll just want to keep the message close to you and reminisce in private. In either case, you’ll know yourself just a little bit better as a result. — Merrill P.S. My wife sometimes complains that I wear wrinkled clothes. “Get rid of some of your clothes and make some room in that closet so things aren’t so crowded.” My reply now, “But dear, those clothes speak to me.”

On March 17, the 179th birthday of the Relief Society, the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints took a bold step forward in including female leaders in areas outside of the United States and Canada. The First Presidency has approved a new position — international area organization adviser — to help provide training and mentorship for local leaders outside the United States and Canada. In the areas where these women are called, the volunteer advisers also will participate in councils within the area as they work together in unity with the men and women of the church in their respective areas. They will serve under the direction of the Area Presidencies for three to five years. In announcing the new calling, the Church News, owned by the church, interviewed Elder Taniela B. Wakolo on the purpose of the calls. “Elder Taniela B. Wakolo, a General Authority Seventy serving as president of the Philippines Area, described the three-fold purpose of area organization advisers: to provide leadership instruction to sister leaders in support of rapid Church growth in the area; provide a model that effective progress occurs when women and men work together in unity; and include women’s perspective at all

In a developing area like the Caribbean with much cultural diversity, instruction and counsel from area organization advisers is “greatly needed, valuable and meaningful,” said Elder Jose L. Alonso, a General Authority Seventy serving as president of the Caribbean Area, according to the Church News. “As we work together, aligned with the prophetic direction, the rate of growth in the area will be amazing,” he said. Area organization advisers report directly to the area presidency, according to the Church News. By March 31, the first meeting for the new international area organization advisers had taken place, using technology to strengthen the global church. All 50 of the women leaders met virtually with general women officers before the Annual General Conference.
“It was so thrilling to have each of these sisters wave after hearing their name called and say, ‘Hello from Argentina,’ ‘Good morning to you from Ghana,’ ‘Hello and I love you from Spain,’ ‘Hi from Mongolia,’ ‘Konnichiwa from Japan,’ ‘Hello from your sister in the Philippines’ and ‘Bonjour, mes amis from Barbados.’ And so on from around the world,” said Sister Jean B. Bingham, General Relief Society president. “It was truly a historic day,” said Young Women General President Bonnie H. Cordon, who shared her excitement this week on social media. “I can’t stop smiling! What a glorious spiritual feast we enjoyed this Easter weekend. So many personal prayers and questions were answered. “I should have expected it with the way last week began — we as general presidencies met over 50 new sisters who Please see LEADERS, Page A5

Leaders From A4
have been called to serve as international Area Organization Advisers — a brand new calling in the Church. “Sitting in my chair, watching each cherished face appear on screen as we gathered for a worldwide meeting — from Japan to Johannesburg, from Spain to Sao Paulo, and me right here in the United States — I couldn’t help but think back to the very first Relief Society meeting held by Emma Smith, Eliza R. Snow, and their small group of faithful sisters. Look how far we’ve come,” Cordon said on her Instagram account. Over the past decade the church has made subtle changes in bringing women into councils on all levels of the church organization. It was the 2010 handbook that announced women’s auxiliary leaders would join in ward councils where decisions were typically made by priesthood leadership. “These women of God will be part of an effort to better support the members of the Church in their region. As general officers, we’ll meet with them regularly to provide training and resources as they support stake Primary, Young Women, and Relief

Society leaders in their area. I believe that we will soon recognize these area advisers as a vital voice for women, young women, and children at all levels. They are part of the Lord’s work of gathering Israel,” Cordon said. “Maybe last year felt like the world held still. Maybe it has seemed like we’re stuck in place. But not in the work of the Lord. His work continues to roll forward,” Cordon noted. Women have been called to serve as advisers in the following areas: nn Africa Central — Cameroon, DR Congo (Kinshasa), DR Congo (Lubumbashi), Ethiopia, Kenya/Tanzania, Republic of Congo and Uganda. nn Africa South — Mozambique, Zimbabwe and South Africa. nn Asia North — Japan (2), Korea and Mongolia. nn Brazil — São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Joinville and Olinda. nn Caribbean — Puerto Rico, West Indies/Jamaica, Haiti and Dominican Republic. nn Europe — Nordic Countries (Denmark), Germany, Portugal/Spain, France/Italy, Eastern/Southeastern countries (Austria) and UK/ Ireland. nn Mexico — Oaxaca, Celaya and Ciudad Juárez. nn Philippines — Cagayan

de Oro, Cebu and Bulacan. nn South America Northwest — Peru (3), Ecuador, Venezuela, Colombia and Bolivia. nn South America South — Argentina (3), Chile (3), Paraguay and Uruguay. “Some of them are already participating in the area council,” Bingham said. The Relief Society of the church is one of the oldest and largest women’s organizations in the world. The need for the area advisers will be determined by members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, the Presidency of the Seventy and the Area Presidency. The general presidencies of the Relief Society, Young Women and Primary, who are based in Salt Lake City, will provide instruction and support to the new international area organization advisers. Virtual meetings will be held two to four times a year. The area organization advisers also will attend the women’s session of the church’s general conference in Salt Lake City in person at least once during their tenure, according to church information.

Avalon From A3
motoring public is still interested in sedans, especially if they come equipped with this option. The Toyota version of this system will quickly send up to 50% of the engine power and torque to the rear wheel if necessary. It uses an electromagnetically controlled drive in the rear wheels that engages and disengages in microseconds when needed, to keep the Avalon gaining
the highest fuel economy as possible. On that note, the new Avalon AWD is powered by a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder, 205-horsepower engine that again is designed to be the most gas efficient power plant possible. This would have been one of our only complaints is it seemed sometimes to be a bit underpowered. We did, however, manage a very nice 29.3 mpg for the week, a fantastic number for a full-sized sedan. The new Avalon can also be

had in a hybrid version that will garner over 40 mpg, and we achieved it in one a couple of years ago, or in a V-6 version that puts the power over the 300 horsepower for those who want more. These, however, are not yet available with all-wheel drive. We have always been very impressed with the Toyota Avalon and consider it really to be on par with the manufacturer’s luxury Lexus line, offering many of the same great features we would expect in a luxury vehicle.

ing an AWD option would just add one more reason to have one in Utah. The 2021 version did not disappoint us as we did have the chance to take a much extended drive on a beautiful Saturday afternoon along with our daughter Sadie in the rear seat. Being the largest sedan in the Toyota wheelhouse there was room aplenty in the rear for her, along with the option to heat the rear seats and of course the ever-popular rear seat USB port. One can never have enough of these to keep all the phones and devices charged. Our test ride in the limited trim did come with all the great enhancements from Toyota, of course. A huge new 9-inch touchscreen floats front and center in the dashboard, controlling entertainment, navigation and climate within the Avalon. It was

SUMMONS IN THE SIXTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT IN AND FOR SANPETE COUNTY, STATE OF UTAH Case No.: 210600018 Judge: Marvin Bagley (Tier 2) RN ALLRED FAMILY LLC, a Utah Limited Liability Company, Petitioner, v. All persons claiming any right, title, estate, or interest in, or lien upon the real property described in the pleadings which are adverse to the Petitioner’s ownership or clouding title, and JOHN DOES 1 through 5, whose names are unknown, Respondents. THE STATE OF UTAH TO: RESPONDENTS JOHN DOES 1-5 You are hereby summoned and required to file an Answer in writing to the Petition filed by RN Allred Family LLC with the Clerk of the above-entitled Court. The Petition seeks to quiet title to real property located in Sanpete County, State of Utah and described as follows: Beginning at a Point which lies N 01‚47’18” W 676.50 feet along the quarter section line and S 88‚46’35” W 962.93 feet from the southeast corner of the southwest ™ of Section 20, T15S, R4E, SLB&M; and running thence N 01‚47’18” W 373.73 feet; thence S 88‚46’35 W 676.50 feet; thence S 01‚47’18” E 373.73 feet; thence N 88‚46’35” E 676.50 feet to the point of beginning.

Below that is an added slide drawer that allowed access to a 12-volt charger and two USB ports along with a wireless charging station for our phones. Once Toyota makes the leap to a wireless CarPlay and Android Auto system, this will be a great way to stow one’s device for the long ride. Our favorite part of the Allred and adjacent landowners. This land is being surveyed for the purpose of taking into account the fence line and therefore, any such new survey legal description, to be included in the final order, will describe the above land but taking into account the existing fence line and will therefore eliminate the necessity of the phrase “less any land west of a fence line which forms a boundary between Allred and adjacent landowners.” The Petition seeks to quiet title in the name of RN Allred Family LLC, and to declare that all other potential claimants have no right, title, interest, lien, or claim in, to, or against the property or any part of it. If you believe that you have any lien, or other claim against, or interest in the property, and you wish to oppose the relief sought in the Petition, you must file your Answer with the Clerk of the above-entitled Court, at 160 North Main, Manti, UT 84642, telephone number (435) 835-2121, within TWENTY-ONE (21) days following the date of first publication of this summons. Within that same time period, you must also serve upon or mail a copy of the Answer to Petitioners’ Attorney, Laramie D. Merritt, of Hansen Law, P.C., at 233 South Pleasant Grove Blvd., Suite 202, Pleasant Grove, Utah 84062. If you fail to do so, Judgment by Default will be taken against you for the relief demanded in the Petition. DATE: April 5, 2021. HANSEN LAW, P.C. Laramie D. Merritt Attorney for Petitioner Legal Notice 7414 Published in Pyramid on April 15, 2021
technology package would have to be the segment-leading 10-inch heads-up display that was a standard included part of the trim. It would display speed, turn-by-turn navigation, radio channel and incoming calls, a great addition in full-color splendor. The seats were clad in Softex and Utrasuede and were both heated and cooled up front, both of which we were able to use with cold mornings and very warm afternoons in early March. They proved to be extremely comfortable and easy to adjust with both up front being powered. All the Toyota Safety Sense P included forward collision warning and braking with pedestrian detection, dynamic radar cruise control, high beam assist and lane departure warning with lane keep assist. All great features that we are glad to see as standard in the Avalon. The only upgrade we received was that of an advanced safety package ($1,150) which included a bird’s-eye monitor when backing, rear cross path detection with emergency braking and blind spot monitors. The Avalon All-Wheel Drive would be a great addition for anyone in Utah as it is comfortable and capable of handling the entirety of a Utah winter. Base price: $42,175 Price as driven: $44,725
