Vidrio pleads guilty to Nay murder, sentencing set ASHLEY STILSON
Daily Herald
PROVO — A Mt. Pleasant man pleaded guilty last week to killing another Mt. Pleasant resident in 2016 and burning his remains in a shallow grave. Raul Vidrio, 21, filed guilty pleas in Fourth District Court to murder, a first-degree felony; obstructing justice, a second-degree felony; and abuse of a dead body, a third-degree felony. The sentencing is scheduled for May 23. In October 2016, Wesley Nay, 22, was found buried in a grassy meadow near Indianola. He had died from stabbing and blunt trauma, the Medical Examiner’s Office reported. A witness told investigators he went with Vidrio to cut wood in Indianola Canyon in August 2016 before Nay was reported missing. The area where they went was yards from where the
remains were found, court records stated. Vidrio was arrested in September 2016 for reportedly stealing a truck, according to court documents. “Located in the bed of the truck at the time of Mr. Vidrio’s arrest were shovels, a pick and gas jugs,” police reported. Deputies also found a large knife inside the truck. DNA tests determined the blood on the knife belonged to Nay. According to charging documents, Vidrio reportedly “placed Nay’s body in a shallow grave lined with wood, doused it with gasoline and lit it on fire. Once Nay’s body was mostly destroyed and disfigured by the fire, the defendant partially filled in the grave, concealing Nay’s remains under several inches of dirt.” Officers said Vidrio is a known drug dealer in Mt. Pleasant and associated with a specific gang.

CUMC to present Troy Osmond memorial concert April 20
The life of Troy Osmond will be commemorated in concert by the Central Utah Master Chorale Saturday, April 20, at 7:30 p.m., in the Jorgensen Concert Hall at the Eccles Center for the Performing Arts, 300 East Center, Ephraim.
EPHRAIM — The Central Utah Master Chorale (CUMC) will present, “In Memorium,” a concert commemorating the life of Troy Osmond Saturday, April 20, at 7:30 p.m., in the Jorgensen Concert Hall at the Eccles Center for the Performing Arts, 300 East Center, Ephraim. Tickets online at www.snow.edu/finearts or call (435) 283-7478. Building on their recent triumphant performance of Messiah, Conductor Dr. Michael Huff explains the motivation for the concert: “Some years before I arrived at Snow College, Merrill and Mary Osmond, — Merrill of The Osmond Brothers fame — donated an organ to the Horne School of Music at Snow College.” “Their son, Troy took particular interest in the instrument as he was an accomplished amateur organist,
and we were working on repairing the organ for use at the Horne School of Music.” “In fact,” says Huff, “Troy was constantly in communication with us as we were working up a concert on which he and the organ would be prominently featured. With Troy’s unexpected passing, we wish to honor him by presenting the kind of concert he was yearning for.” The centerpiece of the concert will be the Requiem by French organist and composer, Maurice Duruflé (1902-1986). The Requiem will be flanked with short anthems and songs that were dear to Troy, and will feature the organ and chorus. Proceeds will be used to assist with repairs and maintenance of the Merrill and Mary Osmond Organ at the Horne School of Music, Snow College.

Mumps outbreak found in North Sanpete area CHERYL K. BREWER
The Pyramid
MT. PLEASANT—Two confirmed cases of Mumps have been found in the North Sanpete School District area. Non-vaccinated students and those who marked their registration forms as exempt, parents and employees of the district were informed of the cases. North Sanpete Superintendent Dr. Sam Ray said, “There is no reason for parents and students to panic
or keep students at home. There is a 26-day incubation period for the one case which would be passed by May 5. Unvaccinated students may attend school as long as there is no known case at that particular school. This is a difficult time for this to happen because schools are involved with state testing.” Dr. Ray said every effort is being made to keep schools safe and will do their best to contact parents in the event that Mumps occurs in other schools.

Constitutional Convention could become a “runawayâ€? Dear Editor: Cities and counties, like people of all sorts and sizes, have a heritage, a personality, and a destiny. This reality is in perfect harmony with the classic dimension of truth: â€œâ€Ś things as they are, and as they were and as they are to come.â€? (D&C 93:24) Where does Sanpete’s heritage, personality and destiny fit into the great concepts of government which protect our lives, our liberties and our private properties? Early settlers clearly understood the value of liberty and the vital personal safeguards of the Constitution. They had suffered much as they sought to exercise their newfound faith in the East and Midwest, and even in Europe. They rejoiced when they
came to Sanpete, regardless of the huge obstacles they faced, for here they had the opportunity to establish a haven for themselves and their posterity. They would be free to choose and to grow! In light of such a heritage, it is shocking to learn that the Utah legislature, including our own senator and representative, recklessly voted to support SJR-9, a call for a new U.S. Constitutional Convention. This despite warnings from some of the Nation’s top legal experts, including two former Justices of the Supreme Court and ten nationally reputed professors of law, that such a convention cannot be limited to a single issue and could become a “runaway� as was the case in 1787. This earlier body had been
charged to “fix� the Articles of Confederation. Being an “entity unto itself� the convention was a “runaway.� The Articles of Confederation were scrapped, and our inspired U.S. Constitution resulted. Today the Constitution still does not need to be “fixed.� The most serious problems we face are the result of most legislators not obeying its timeless principles. Hence, we are deep into Socialism, a form of government with which, historically, no nation has survived. Thirty-four states are needed to call for a new Constitutional Convention. Apparently at this time 28, including Utah’s vote for SJR-9, have done so. Sanpete’s destiny could well be in jeopardy. The forces of tyranny never
rest. “We the peopleâ€? must become better informed about these insidious forces so we can truly be guardians of the Constitution and all we hold dear. The statement by James Madison, Father of the Constitution, made in 1792 applies today: “Although all men are born free, and all nations might be so, yet too true it is that slavery has been the general lot of the human race. Ignorant – they have been cheated; asleep – they have been surprised, divided – the yoke has been forced upon them‌the people ought to be enlightened, to be awakened, to be united, that after establishing a government they should watch over it, as well as obey it.â€?

Pleasant City Power (MPCP) was presented with the Reliable Public Power Provider (RP3)Ž designation by the American Public Power Association (APPA) on April 1 during the Association’s annual Engineering and Operations Technical Conference held in Colorado Springs, CO.

num level of service. “Receiving an RP3 designation is a great honor. It demonstrates that a utility strives for a high level of service and is constantly looking to improve,� said Haderle. “Aside from demonstrating reliability, these designated utilities have shown commitment to system improvement, safety, and developing a strong and sustainable workforce.� “This is a great honor,� said Shane Ward, power superintendent of Mt. Pleasant City Power. “We take a lot of pride in the work we do to power
our community. It’s nice to be recognized as among the ‘best of the best’ on a national level.� About APPA The American Public Power Association has offered the RP3 designation for 14 years now.

Number 40 is significant When I think of the time period of forty years, my first thought is of the period of time that Moses wandered around in the wilderness with the children of Israel. This was after Moses wore down the Pharaoh of Egypt with a series of plagues including frogs, flies and lice. Of course, the plague of the destroying angel and death of the first-born surpassed all the other plagues. After that one, Pharaoh essentially said, “Holy Moley Moses, enough already — you and your God win. I want you and your bunch to get the heck outta Egypt.� Moses hustled the Israelites through the Red Sea on dry ground and made a clean getaway out of Egyptian bondage. But then they wandered around for forty years before it was okay for them to settle down in the Promised Land. I’m familiar with some of this stuff right now because my wife and I happen to be reading the Old Testament together. Don’t ask why. It seemed like a good idea at the time when we decided to do it. And now that we’ve started, we’re too stubborn to stop. We’re approaching the reading project like the proverbial task of eating an elephant – one bite at a time. It’s slow going. I’m not that fond of elephant. We just finished Deuteronomy, the last of the five books of Moses. Whew! It seemed like it took forty years just to read all of that. I have another reason for the period of forty years to be significant in my mind right now. This coming Sunday, Easter Sunday, marks 40 years since my wife and I said “I do� to each other right here in Sanpete in the Manti Temple. At that time, we had no clue that we’d wind up living in Sanpete County, as we have for the past 34 years. In some ways, April 21, 1979, doesn’t seem as long ago as when we started reading the Old Testament together. Even though it would have been tough to have three children and three grandchildren become part of our family in that reading time period. That day forty years ago was a beautiful spring day. It was much like one of these intermittent beautiful days we’ve been having in Sanpete recently (mixed in with the winter-like days). On our wedding day, the sun was shining. The grass and fields were green. My new father-in-law felt like I drove too fast from Manti to Richfield where the wedding luncheon was held in the Garret Room of the old Johnston Hotel. He continued to feel like I was too fast of a driver for the rest of his life. But we got along fine regardless. We greeted guests at an open house on the evening of the wedding day. As if we weren’t already happy enough, we took off for a honeymoon to the “Happiest Place on Earth� – Disneyland. It was a happy trip. Several days into that
honeymoon trip, we took a day trip into Mexico. We went down into Tijuana and then drove east. Diane didn’t feel like Mexicali looked like Disneyland, so she stayed in the car while I went shopping for a few minutes. Her remembrance is that she never got out of the car the whole time while we were in Mexico that day. Nowadays, she’s a more adventurous traveler than I am. Since that honeymoon trip forty years ago, we’ve travelled a lot of miles through life together. We’ve wandered in the “wilderness� together side by side and it’s been great. Our family life over forty years has been reason enough alone for us to feel terrifically blessed. We found our “Promised Land� early when we came to Sanpete in 1984. It’s been a wonderful place to settle into, make friends, raise a family, and enjoy a good life. Since the number 40 is significant to me right now, I did a little research and I want to share a few things. I already knew that 40 is a “magic number� in the bible. A few examples: There were 40 days and nights of rain for Noah. Jesus fasted for 40 days. Moses’ life was divided into three 40-year time periods. There are 40 spaces on a standard Monopoly game board. So you have a one in forty chance of “going to jail� or hitting the jackpot of “free parking� each time around the board. Forty is the maximum number of players allowed on a major league baseball team at one time. Forty weeks is a typical pregnancy. It took 40 tries to come up with that helpful spray many of us are familiar with: WD-40. Forty is the only number in English whose letters are in alphabetical order. Minus 40 degrees is the only temperature, which is the same in both Celsius and Fahrenheit. A standard workweek in the USA is 40 hours. Okay, that’s enough stuff about the number forty. I could have waited until our 50-year mark to make a big deal about a marriage anniversary here, but who knows what the next 10 years may bring? I figured that at this stage of life, what with my blood pressure and cholesterol, it’s probably best to not postpone celebrations of milestones. And otherwise, a lot could change in the not too distant future. Diane and I might be senior citizen employees at Disneyland. I could do well perhaps in the Eeyore costume – lazy and slow moving. Diane would be a good Fairy Godmother. She’s a bibbidi bobbidi boo kind of gal. It could happen. Happy 40th Anniversary Diane! Thanks for the memories! P.S. Irish Luck: Ample food and sturdy drink, a clean pillow for your head, and may you be forty years in heaven, b’for the devil knows you’re dead.

She has the unique ability to instill confidence and safety in both horse and rider — yet increasing the limits of the rider’s comfort zone. The first day of the clinic will focus on cross-country technique, practicing mutual communication, focus, and the safest balance using both show jumping and cross country fences. The second day will be transferring these skills onto the cross country course, where riders will work over fences, ditches, water and banks while encouraging the horse to think for itself. About Green
Born in Hampshire, Lucinda Green (née Prior Palmer) began riding when she was just four years old but didn’t own her own horse until the age of 15. Green worked her way up through the eventing grades, before going to the 1973 Olympics and winning the Badminton Horse Trials some seven years later. This was only the beginning of Green‘s success, as she went on to claim a number of gold and silver medals, two European championships, and to this day is still the only rider to have won Badminton six times, on six different horses. About eventing For those new to the sport, Eventing is often described as an equestrian triathlon where a single horse and rider combination competes against other combinations across the three disciplines of dressage, cross-country jumping, and Lucinda Green, world-renowned show jumping. equestrian competitor, journalist, team The sport has its roots in a comselector, commentator and trainer will prehensive cavalry test that required teach a two-day cross-country clinic April 25-26, at Skyline Eventing Park, at mastery of several different types of the Cleone Peterson Eccles Equestrian riding.

Suspect caught in Clue round two at SCE SPRING CITY — The suspect in round two of Clue at Spring City Elementary (SCE) has been identified by the fifth grade’s Team #2. The team of students quickly did their reading, summaries and correctly identified the “who dunnit” as Jelly Beans Johansen performing the crime in the Front Office with water or liquids. For their sleuthing efforts, fifth grade team, #2, was rewarded with a party during their library class with ice cream and a gift bag containing a Sparkling Ice drink, a bag of Jelly Belly candies and yellow sticky notes. The upper grades at Spring City Elementary (SCE) have been playing “Clue” as part of their reading promotion this year. In the SCE version of the game, a book was ruined and the students had to find out which suspect did it, which room it was done in, and what weapon caused the damage. Jelly Beans Johansen, Mango Miller, Rutabaga Rasmussen, Macaroni McVay, Taco Thomas and Artichoke Allred were all suspect teachers. One of those teachers could have done the crime in any of the following school rooms: the kitchen, gym, custodian’s office, computer lab, library, front office, principal’s office, faculty room and the playground. The selection of weapons which could have caused the damage included food, scissors, dirty hands, fire, boogers, water, pets, young child or crayons. Six teams of students at SCE were tasked with

(Photo courtesy of Pam Anderson) solving the crime. Steps involved in discovering the culprit included reading books, writing summaries about the books and rolling dice to move playing pieces. When a team member read a book and wrote a summary, he or she got to roll a die and move their piece on the board. Once their piece arrived in one of the game rooms, then the team member could make a guess detailing who did it in that room and what weapon was used. Their turn was then over until the next class period.

SALT LAKE CITY — Any angler that likes fishing for large fish might consider this as their year. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) will be stocking fewer fish in some Utah waterbodies this year, but the fish will be larger. Fish stocking numbers in Utah have been pretty consistent since 2014. However, research has shown that reducing the numbers of fish that are raised and then stocked allows hatcheries to focus on producing higher quality fish that survive better after being stocked, according to DWR sportfish coordinator Randy Oplinger. As a result, fish stocking numbers will be reduced by about three percent this year, another six percent next year and another 7.8 percent in 2021. The total number of fish stocked each year will remain constant after that, Oplinger said. “Idaho made a similar switch about five years ago and found that after they started stocking fewer fish, their hatcheries started producing larger, better quality fish, and anglers started catching more fish,” Oplinger said.
“We expect the same here in Utah. So, we will stock fewer fish, but doing this will actually make fishing better.” While overall there will be fewer total fish stocked, not all lakes and reservoirs will see changes in their stocking numbers. All the waterbodies that are traditionally stocked were evaluated, and only select lakes will receive fewer

fish this year, Oplinger said. “Some waters will receive no reduction, and the reduction might be up to 50 percent in other waters,” he said. About 90 percent of the fish stocked by DWR are rainbow trout. And biologists anticipate that the fish stocked in the reduced waterbodies this year will be about two inches longer than in previous years.

In the second act, the twostory set rotates 180 degrees and the audience gets to see a matinee performance of “Nothing On” from the backstage view. A massive conflict between two of the lead characters causes this performance to completely fall apart in absolutely side splitting fashion.

In the third and final act, the set rotates back to the front view and the audience is able to see one of the final performances of “Nothing On”. By this time, tensions have completely boiled over and the audience gets to watch a catastrophe play out on stage. “It’s the type of show that leaves your stomach and abs aching by the end of act three,” Barlow added, “the first time I saw this show at a community theater, I almost fell out of my chair I was laughing so hard. We hope our audience has a similar experience.”

Portfolio by Wells Fargo® customers are eligible to receive an additional bonus interest rate on these accounts.3 1. To qualify for this offer, you must have a new or existing Platinum Savings account and enroll the account in this offer between 03/25/2019 and 05/31/2019. This offer is subject to change at any time, without notice. This offer is available only to Platinum Savings customers in the following states: AK, IA, ID, IL, KS, MN, MO, MT, NE, UT, WI and WY.

The corresponding Annual Percentage Yield (APY) for this offer is 2.10%. The Special Rate will be applied to the enrolled savings account for a period of 12 months, starting on the date the account is enrolled in the offer. However, for any day during that 12 month period that the daily account balance is less than the $25,000 minimum, the Special Rate will not apply, and the interest rate will revert to the standard interest rate applicable to your Platinum Savings account.

If you wish to take advantage of another consumer deposit offer requiring a minimum new money deposit, you will be required to do so with another new money deposit as stated in the offer requirements and qualifications. Offer cannot be combined with any other consumer deposit offer, except the Portfolio by Wells Fargo $500 offer, available from March 25, 2019 until May 31, 2019. Offer cannot be reproduced, purchased, sold, transferred, or traded. 3. The Portfolio by Wells Fargo program has a $30 monthly service fee, which can be avoided when you have one of the following qualifying balances: $25,000 or more in qualifying linked bank deposit accounts (checking, savings, CDs, FDIC-insured IRAs) or $50,000 or more in any combination of qualifying linked banking, brokerage (available through Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC) and credit balances (including 10% of mortgage balances, certain mortgages not eligible). If the Portfolio by Wells Fargo relationship is terminated, the bonus interest rate on all eligible savings accounts, and discounts or fee waivers on other products and services, will discontinue and revert to the Bank’s then-current applicable rate or fee. For bonus interest rates on time accounts, this change will occur upon renewal.
