A student mock arrests a suspect of tax fraud during the IRS Adrian Project at Dixie State University.
Manti man takes part in IRS exercise at Dixie State ST. GEORGE — Dixie State University students recently worked with IRS special agents in a mock scenario to gather evidence, arrest and convict someone of tax evasion as part of the Adrian Project, a hands-on experience that provides students with a glimpse at the life of an IRS special agent. Many students of differing backgrounds came together in this real-world application of their classroom-taught skills. Thomas McFarlane of Manti, UT was among the students participating in the Adrian Project. “The Adrian Project offers a look at a day in the life; it’s a great way for students to see if being an agent is a good fit for them,” Rochelle Blatter, senior career counselor at Dixie State, said. “We have students here that are accounting majors, criminal justice majors and others. It’s an opportunity to apply what you learn in class.” Students at Dixie State University sat at tables throughout the Gardner Ballroom with multiple agents at each table. Agents helped students use their accounting skills to round up evidence in an example of a fraud referral case. Each student had a folder containing documents that they used to eventually arrest and convict the suspect of tax evasion in a role-play with the agents. “We have over 20 special agents here,” Ryan Miggin, graduate assistant for the associate professor of accounting, Greenman, said. This included Al Childress, who is special agent in charge over Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico. “This is a big event, it doesn’t happen often.” The accounting program at Dixie State University prepares students for careers in public accounting, taxation, corporate management and consultation positions through real-world application, relevant technology, and practice.

Dixie State University is a premier open-enrollment teaching institution that offers more than 200 academic programs at one of the lowest tuition costs in the Western United States.

Utah Pork Association donates Easter hams to the Sanpete Pantry BY GLORIA ALBRECHT
The Pyramid
On Tuesday, April 12, the Utah Pork Association delivered 40 hams to Terrell’s Market in Mt. Pleasant, Utah. But these hams weren’t for sale. Terrell’s Market was facilitating the delivery of these Easter meals to the Sanpete Pantry. Acting as a partner with the Utah Pork Association, Terrell’s saved the Sanpete Pantry hundreds of dollars in shipping costs by order-
ing the hams through Associated Foods, taking delivery of the hams and then passing them on to the Food Pantry for distribution to the county’s families in need in time for Easter dinner. Executive Director Jeff Jarman from the Sanpete Pantry was present as the hams were loaded onto the Sanpete Pantry’s truck. “Donations like this from the Utah Pork Association are vital to serving the people of Sanpete County. We so much appreciate the help of Terrell’s in this process.” Marty McClain, Fundraising Director, Sanpete County Food Pantry praised the donation. “At the Sanpete County Food Pantry, our goal is
to ensure families do not go hungry by providing them with a reliable and healthy food source. To do so, we need partners like UPPA and pork farmers across the state, who continue to contribute generously each year. We are grateful for Utah pork farmers’ continued commitment to feeding Sanpete County families in need.” “We are honored to work with Utah pork farmers and the Sanpete Food Pantry to provide a healthy meal option to families in need this Easter season,” said Allison Fiscus, executive director, UPPA. “Year after year, Utah farmers continue to look for opportunities to give back to the
communities. Our farmers are grateful and proud to be part of a community that allows them the freedom to feed the world.” UPPA is a nonprofit state association that represents all pork famers in the state of Utah. The association works to provide Utah farmers with the resources they need to be a consistent and responsible supplier of high-quality pork to the domestic and world market. Terrell’s General Manager Blake Rosenloft was joined by Terrell’s Meat Manager George Michaels, Damon Gardner from the Utah Pork Association and the staff from the Food Pantry on April 12 for the official hand off of the Easter hams.
