RICHFIELD — Central Utah Public Health Department (CUPHD) has confirmed the first positive cases of COVID-19 in Sanpete County. Three cases have been confirmed in the county, bringing the total number of confirmed cases in the Central Utah Health District to 17, according to a Central Utah Public Health Department press release. Two of the individuals are between the ages of 40-60, while the other is between the ages of 18-25. All three individuals are currently recovering at home in Sanpete County. These cases were contracted from exposure to an individual within the Central Utah Health District who was later con-
firmed to have COVID-19. “While we were able to identify the point of exposure for these cases, these cases highlight the active nature of COVID-19 within our health district. As cases continue to increase, it is essential that our communities remain vigilant in their efforts to practice proper social distancing, take protective measures when in contact with others, and to stay home when sick.” said Nate Selin, CUPHDs Health Officer. Close contacts of the confirmed cases are being contacted and will be advised to self-quarantine. CUPHD staff will actively monitor these individuals for symptoms and

refer them to testing if symptoms develop. CUPHD continues to encourage testing for individuals who have symptoms. As of press time, Juab County has four cases, Millard, five; Sanpete, three; Sevier, five. Wayne and Piute counties have no cases so far. Only one case from the Central Utah region has been hospitalized and no deaths reported. Testing guidelines have been expanded, and anyone who exhibits even one of the following symptoms is asked to get tested for COVID-19. Symptoms include, fever, cough, shortness of breath, muscle aches and pain, sore throat, and loss of sense of taste or smell.
Anyone who is symptomatic, should contact their medical provider or one of the COVID-19 hotlines at 1-800-456-7707 or 844442-5224 to be referred for testing. “Testing for COVID-19 is the best method for limiting spread of the virus by quickly identifying confirmed individuals and having them isolate at home to ensure they don’t spread it to others. If anyone is symptomatic in any way, it is important that they stay at home and be tested as soon as possible,” Selin added. The most up-to-date information can be found at coronavirus. utah.gov or centralutahpublichealth.org.
Ron Mann, an orchardist, has spent many years in fruit production. Mann lives in Spring City and has taught many people in the area how to plant and take care of fruit trees. In this artist rendition, Mann shows how to rid apple and pear trees of the Codling Moth and has also devised a method to rid borers from peach, nectarine and apricot trees.
Improve fruit tree Let light shine through in spite of pandemic production BY RON MANN
BY GLORIA ALBRECHT
MT. PLEASANT — The Coronavirus pandemic has been a revelation of sorts. It has become a political football, even as officials struggle to keep citizens safe, informed and economically solvent. As the stock market bottomed out several weeks ago Americans were told to stay home while businesses closed their doors. For many it meant no income, no benefits, and nowhere to turn. For a few it meant struggling with COVID-19 illness, and in the worst cases the death of a loved one. The media has flooded Americans with conflicting messages about testing, vaccines, treatments and the great “re-opening” of the country. Anxiety among Americans is soaring. Many states, including Utah, have cancelled the remainder of the school term. The future can feel uncertain for many Americans waiting for the new normal to unfold. For most it is the waiting that has become ominous. Not knowing how the mortgage will get paid, buy groceries and how long all of this will last has caused many sleepless nights. The responsibility of homeschooling children and trying to keep kids busy full-
time is overwhelming to many parents, some of whom are also working from home. Many people agree that life as it has been known will never return. But there is another side to this social upheaval. It is the human side. It is Americans reaching deep within their moral fiber to help others, to reach out in whatever way they can to ease the burden of anxiety for fellow human beings. All of us have been touched by someone who shines brightly, creating hope, easing stress, giving of themselves in this time of chaos. Face masks, a symbol of unity The shortage of face masks for medical professionals started a whole series of events, from stockpiles of masks being surrendered from other professions to business retooling manufacturing to create masks and face shields to homemade masks being created by the thousands. Suddenly the mask is becoming a fashion statement as DIYers get busy. Best of all, masks are now available to almost anyone who needs one. They have become the symbol of unity among people struggling to regain some sense of control, an icon in this war with the coronavirus.

Celebrities share creativity Meanwhile, celebrities are reaching out to share their creativity, sometimes on a global level. Andrea Bocelli and the power of his voice sent an awe-inspiring Easter message in “Music for Hope: Live From Duomo di Milano”, a livestreamed concert that echoed around the world from the empty Duomo di Milano Cathedral in Milan, Italy. This historic event resonated with fans across the world, who watched the 30-minute performance more than 28 million times on YouTube within the first 24 hours. Since Easter Sunday, Bocelli’s concert has
been viewed more than 35 million times, making it the most-viewed classic music event in YouTube history”, according to USA Today. Andrea Bocelli said, “Thanks to music, streamed live, bringing together millions of clasped hands everywhere in the world, we will hug this wounded Earth’s pulsing heart.” Bocelli is one of the world’s great tenors and has been blind since age 12.

House gives nod to hold primary entirely by mail amid coronavirus BY LINDSAY WHITEHURST
Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — In the face of a global pandemic, the Utah House recently voted to run an upcoming primary election entirely by mail and temporarily do away with traditional polling places. The proposal now goes to the state Senate ahead of the June 30 primary that will be key in choosing the next governor. A crowded field of candidates, including Republicans Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox and former U.S. Russia ambassador Jon Huntsman Jr., are competing for the seat open for the first time in more than a decade. Lawmakers weighed in during their first virtual special session, held remotely to address the coronavirus pandemic that has caused widespread shutdowns around the country to try and halt the spread of the disease. The Legislature also considered proposals on everything from budgets to the balance of power during the meeting that continued Friday. Most of conservative Utah already

In the face of a global pandemic, the Utah House recently voted to run the upcoming primary election entirely by mail and temporarily do away with traditional polling places. votes by mail, in contrast with the by-mail voting skepticism from national Republicans like President Donald Trump. “We’ve got a system in place that is already working well ... most people feel comfortable with what we have in place,” Republican House sponsor Rep. Jefferson Moss said. The bill would automatically repeal on Aug. 1, so in-person voting can return for the general election
in November. Counties still usually open polling places for people who want to vote in person, staffed by poll workers who are often older adults who are considered most vulnerable to the coronavirus. “The intent is not having a bunch of people on voting day crammed in a room,” Moss said. The bill would also suspend in-person early voting and same-day voter registration
and give staffers more time to count ballots to ensure they are safe. Counties will likely have drive-up boxes for people to drop their mail-in ballots, but officials are mounting a campaign to encourage people to send the ballots through the mail, with accommodations for disabled voters. The postmark deadline has been extended to Election Day. For people who don’t have or can’t afford a stamp, the Postal Service has pledged to deliver ballots regardless and work out payment with counties later, Democratic Rep. Brian King pointed out. Because it’s a primary election, only voters who are registered with a particular party will automatically get a ballot in the mail. Unaffiliated voters will get a notice telling them how to request a ballot. The proposal would not supersede court orders in San Juan County, where judges have ordered accommodations for Navajo voters who say by-mail voting puts them at a disadvantage because Please see PRIMARY, Page A6
SPRING CITY — Due to the early and hard freeze last October, many leaves on trees did not have a chance to evacuate the sugars, nutrients, from their leaves and send it to their trunks to store for this spring. That is why many leaves did not change colors and continued to hang on the tree all winter. As a result, all those fruit trees will be short the amount of nutrients needed for this year’s leaves and buds, which means tree leaves and buds will be small and in some cases will not produce any fruit. To compensate, Mann suggests spraying with a fruit foliar as soon as leaves appear. Foliar should be sprayed at least twice about 10 days a part ensuring the spray is applied to the underside of the leaves. The top of the leaves is mostly for protection of the leaf and the underside is where the nutrients will enter the leaves increasing the size of the leaf and buds, providing a larger surface for photosynthesis to bring nutrients from the roots. Although it is advised to fertilize at least three times a year, the foliar spray is about nine-10 times more effective than fertilizing around the base of the tree and should be done this year. One of the common problems Mann discovered in Sanpete County is that many of the fruit trees are hardly ever fertilized which results in small fruit and can also cause fruit to prematurely drop to the ground for lack of nutrients. For that reason, good fruit requires yearly fertilization. It is a common practice among most orchardists to fertilize at least three times per year. Mann recommends fertilizing in November or December, late February or March, and again in mid-June. By this method, food is provided to trees just in time to help them produce the wholesome and large fruit desired. Mann also recommends using at least one-year-old chicken or cow manure or fish oil from the eastern seaboard. Most fish fertilizer from Alaska seems to be made from heads, entrails and tails, whereas, fish oil from the eastern seaboard tend to use the whole fish. Lastly, an idea that took Mann more than two decades to discover was how to control the codling moth, which is the character that creates the worm hole in apples and pears each year. Codling moths hibernate in the soil and can be expected to take flight every 21 days. The moths can be controlled with some deadly chemicals, which Mann refuses to use, so he came up with an idea that Please see FRUIT TREES, Page A6

A new class of first responders Dear Editor: Since the introduction of coronavirus (COVID-19) to our communities, daily life has changed for most Utahns and doesn’t look to return to normal for some time. In times of uncertainty, we often look to first responders who courageously answer the call, routinely putting their own safety in jeopardy, in order to protect complete strangers. We revere and respect the sacrifices these brave men and women make in an effort to protect our families and communities. Over the last couple months, a new class of first responders has emerged. They have bravely answered the call to serve in a time of drastic uncertainty. This new class are those who are serving on the frontlines of the retail grocery and convenience store industries. These employees show up to work each day and provide needed food and other supplies for their local communities.
Unlike other first responders, those who serve in our local retail food stores don’t typically wear personal protective equipment. But with the introduction of this new virus, the need to protect them is more important than ever. The industry has rallied to help provide these retail first responders with increased protection so they can return home safe at the end-of-the-day. During a recent trip to your local store, you may have noticed new safety shields installed at the check stand, markings on the floor of the store to help encourage proper social distancing, and retailers limiting the number of customers that can enter a store. Cleaning and sanitizing routines have also increased in frequency throughout stores with additional cleaning stations encouraging customers to sanitize their carts at the beginning of their shopping trip. The safety and concern for our retail heroes has extended
beyond the store walls. Adjustments have been made to leave policies in the event an employee becomes ill or becomes the caregiver of someone that has. Many retailers have recognized the efforts made by these new first responders and have provided additional financial compensation for their willingness to serve. We are all in this fight together. You can do your part while shopping these stores by practicing good social distancing, washing your hands frequently and bringing only those who are necessary to the store. Shoppers should closely monitor their own health and if you are experiencing symptoms or think you have been exposed to COVID-19 you should contact a health care provider before you enter a retail store. It is unclear how long we will experience this departure from everyday life. We must do all we can to slow the spread of COVID-19 and co-
operate with the health care professionals and government officials who are working to keep our communities safe. While there is still plenty of uncertainty, there is one aspect of daily life we can all count on—this new class of retail first responders will be there, ready to serve. The retail food industry will continue to do all in our power to protect these everyday heroes and the customers they serve. Our hope is that during this global pandemic when our government leaders are doing the hard work of prioritizing scarce resources, that they not forget our first responders who are stocking shelves, ringing up sales and bagging groceries. The next time you are shopping your local grocery or convenience store, please take a moment and thank these retail heroes for their bravery and service. Dave Davis President Utah Food Industry Association
Utah shakes it up for earthquake drill BY GLORIA ALBRECHT
MT. PLEASANT — Millions of people worldwide practice how to “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” each year during Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drills. The 2020 Utah ShakeOut Day was on April 16, though you can register to hold your ShakeOut drill on any day of the year. Due to COVID-19, you may also consider holding a remote, videoconference drill, and/or scheduling a drill for when people may be back together. Participating is a great way for your family or organization to be prepared to survive and recover quickly from big earthquakes – wherever you live, work, or travel. This year, Utahns got a firsthand feel for an earthquake on March 18th when a 5.7 magnitude earthquake hit near
VCHALUP — STOCK.ADOBE.COM
Normally, Utahns and particularly schools practice the Great Shakeout Earthquake drill on April 16. But 2020 is different since many businesses are not open and schools have been dismissed for the rest of the year. Many are either holding their own drills or finding more information at www. shakeout.org. the town of Magna in northwestern Utah. The earthquake caused chaos along a wide stretch of the Wasatch front’s west side, and it could
be felt as far east as Salt Lake City. The Salt Lake City International Airport closed and officials undertook the daunting task of determining
if roadways and bridges were safe. Several buildings were damaged as well. There have been over 1,247 aftershocks from the March 18 earthquake, according to the University of Utah Seismograph Stations. Several have had a magnitude of at least 4.0, and a great irony occurred on April 16th when the Magna area felt a 4.2 aftershock at 7:44 a.m., just 2.5 hours before Utah’s ShakeOut Drill was scheduled. More aftershocks are expected in the coming weeks and should become less frequent, officials said. Find more information at https://www.shakeout.org/ utah, where you can learn more about planning a drill, preparing a “grab-and-go kit” and survive the big one if and when it comes.

dramatist William Shakespeare died in Stratford-upon-Avon on what has traditionally been regarded as the 52nd anniversary of his birth in 1564. On this date: In 1898, Spain declared war on the United States, which responded in kind two days later. In 1914, Chicago’s Wrigley Field, then called Weeghman Park, hosted its first major league game as the Chicago Federals defeated the Kansas City Packers 9-1. In 1943, U.S. Navy Lt. (jg) John F. Kennedy assumed command of PT-109, a motor torpedo boat, in the Solomon Islands during World War II. (On Aug. 2, 1943, PT-109 was rammed and sunk by a Japanese destroyer, killing two crew members; Kennedy and 10 others survived.) In 1954, Hank Aaron of the Milwaukee Braves hit the first of his 755 major-league home runs in a game against the St. Louis Cardinals. (The Braves won, 7-5.) In 1968, student protesters began occupying buildings on the campus of Columbia University in New York; police put down the protests a week later. The Methodist Church and the Evangelical United Brethren Church merged to form the United Methodist Church. In 1969, Sirhan Sirhan was sentenced to death for assas-
sinating New York Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. (The sentence was later reduced to life imprisonment.) In 1987, 28 construction workers were killed when an apartment complex being built in Bridgeport, Connecticut, suddenly collapsed. In 1988, a federal ban on smoking during domestic airline flights of two hours or less went into effect. In 1996, a civil court jury in The Bronx, New York, ordered Bernhard Goetz (burNAHRD’ gehts) to pay $43 million to Darrell Cabey, one of four young men he’d shot on a subway car in 1984. In 1998, James Earl Ray, who confessed to assassinating the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and then insisted he’d been framed, died at a Nashville, Tennessee, hospital at age 70. In 2005, the recently created video-sharing website YouTube uploaded its first clip, “Me at the Zoo,” which showed YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim standing in front of an elephant enclosure at the San Diego Zoo. In 2007, Boris Yeltsin, Russia’s first freely elected president, died in Moscow at age 76. Ten years ago: Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed the nation’s toughest illegal immigration law, saying “decades of inaction and misguided policy” had created a “dangerous and unacceptable situation”;
opponents said the law would encourage discrimination against Hispanics. The Coast Guard suspended a three-day search for 11 workers missing after an explosion rocked the Deepwater Horizon oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico. Five years ago: Blaming the “fog of war,” President Barack Obama revealed that U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan had inadvertently killed an American and an Italian, two hostages held by al-Qaida, as well as two other Americans who had leadership roles with the terror network. Former CIA Director David Petraeus, whose career was destroyed by an extramarital affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell, was sentenced in Charlotte, North Carolina, to two years’ probation and fined $100,000 for giving her classified material while she was working on the book. The Senate voted 56-43 to confirm Loretta Lynch as U.S. attorney general. One year ago: President Donald Trump met with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, hours after bashing the company and accusing it of not treating him well because he’s a Republican. The S&P 500 hit an alltime high, closing at 2,933.68 and marking the stock market’s complete recovery from a nosedive at the end of 2018.

Random stuff lately Up in a tree: I spent some time in a tree last Saturday. By time, I mean a few hours. I was trimming and pruning an ancient, tall, apple tree. By trimming and pruning, I mean butchering and maiming. I’m not a trained arborist. I went up and down the tree a few times during the long process. There was one time when I needed to use the restroom and get a drink. (My elementary school principal called some of us “drinkers and drainers.”) Then there was the time when Mother Nature thundered and sent a plague of hail to pummel me out of the tree. There were a few passersby who stopped to visit as I worked. It was easy to stay socially distanced when I was the “ape” in the tree looking 15 feet down to those gawking at me. One woman gave me some advice, “Don’t you think you’re old enough and should be wise enough, that you should stay on the ground and hire someone to do that for you?” I agreed. I am old enough. And, I should be wise enough. That word “should” is the operative word that I have a hard time embracing. If I was doing what I should be doing, I wouldn’t be up in a tree on a chilly, COVID-19 Saturday in Sanpete. If I was doing what I should be doing, I would be… I would be… — heck, I think I’d be up in that tree. The tree desperately needed the “makeover.” I didn’t need to be doing what perhaps I should have been doing. Perhaps I should have been sequestered indoors, sipping hot chocolate by the fire, nibbling on a doughnut, reading a “guilty pleasure novel” with Camila Cabello singing in the background. But, I was in a tree feeling “alive.” Rain on my face, arm hooked around a tree branch, sawing through apple wood, a fall to my death in the realm of probabilities, and as far as I was concerned, the coronavirus could take a flying leap through a rolling doughnut hole. Ya know? I used the word “embracing” here a minute or so ago (depending on your reading speed). That reminded me of another visitor I had while in the tree. A woman whom I haven’t seen for a very long time came along. She had her boyfriend with her. She enthusiastically greeted me and introduced me to her beau. She announced her desire to give me a hug. I made no

move to descend from the tree. She got the idea. Current conditions require “no hug” interactions with people for who knows how long. Sad, but true. Hibernation: I’ve been thinking and fantasizing about hibernation lately. I’ve wintered well. Rather than eating like there was no tomorrow since Thanksgiving, I should have been hibernating. Seeing new snow in the mountains has made me think about this even more. Even though trimming trees is a productive activity, the idea of being cuddled up in a warm “den” in a semi-conscious mental stupor for a long period of time sounds really appealing. Of course, I’m suddenly realizing that this is what I do in the family room in front of the television on a regular basis. I read on the Internet that there have been research projects, which investigate how to achieve “induced hibernation” in humans. This would be like “suspended animation.” Wouldn’t it be kind of nice to “go to bed” after Thanksgiving and not really “come to” until it was time to watch your family members graduate from school? Maybe a bathroom break and three hours of consciousness during the Super Bowl could be scheduled into the hibernation deal. Gas Prices: With the price of oil tanking, the energy industry has been in upheaval. Many jobs are in jeopardy. The Uintah Basin and other oil and gas producing areas in Utah are going to be hit hard. As of this writing, gas in Salina is $1.13 – the lowest in the state. A few miles north in Sanpete, our prices are nearly a dollar more per gallon. Somehow, Sanpete is a country to itself when it comes to fuel prices. Modern Living: Being able to turn a thermostat control dial and produce heat in a house is truly a miracle. Can you imagine what our ancestors would think if they could see, and feel, this “magic trick?” The modern conveniences and luxuries that this generation of American society enjoy are nothing short of phenomenal. And finally: New Year’s Resolutions Revisited: Yogi Berra once said, “If you don’t set goals, you can’t regret not reaching them.” He also astutely pointed out that, “You’ve got to be careful if you don’t know where you’re going ‘cause you might not get there.”

Social Security announces new online service for replacement cards in Utah SALT LAKE CITY — The Social Security Administration introduced the expansion of online services for residents of Utah available through its my Social Security portal at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount. Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security, announced that residents of Utah can use the portal for many replacement Social Security number (SSN) card requests. This will allow people to replace their SSN card from the comfort of their home or office, without the need to travel to a Social Security office. “We are here to serve the
public and this option helps us improve service by offering a safe, secure, and more convenient choice for doing business with us online,” Commissioner Saul said. “I am pleased to offer Utah residents the added convenience of replacing a Social Security card through the my Social Security portal.” The agency is conducting a gradual roll out of this service; Utah is one of the many states, plus the District of Columbia, where this option is available. Throughout 2020, the agency will continue to expand the service option to other states. This service will mean shorter wait times for
U.S. citizens age 18 or older and who are residents of Utah can request a replacement SSN card online by creating a my Social Security account. In addition, they must have a U.S. domestic mailing address, not require a change to their record (such as a name change), and have a valid driver’s license, or state identification card in some participating states.

DWR: Online options for hunter education field day, course registration SALT LAKE CITY — In order to follow social distancing guidelines and prevent the spread of COVID-19, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources is now offering a temporary online field day for hunter education courses. The DWR is also changing the sign-up process for hunter education and other courses, now pro-
viding easier online registration. Hunter education course options To hunt in Utah, everyone born after Dec. 31, 1965, must complete a state-approved hunter education class or participate in the Trial Hunting Program. There are two options for
completing a hunter education course in Utah: You can take a traditional class led by an instructor that includes a field day, or you can take an online course followed by a field day. Both options include a final written test and the “field day” with hands-on skills demonstration and a live-fire shooting exercise at

the end. Because current health recommendations discourage gatherings of more than 10 people to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the DWR has temporarily postponed all instructor-led courses until further notice. While online hunter education courses have been offered for several years, the required field day portion had to be completed in-person, previously. In order to allow people to still complete hunter education at this time, the DWR is temporarily allowing the field day exercise to be completed online. Students will receive detailed information from their instructor after they register for their online hunter education course. They will complete an online virtual field day and then print the completion voucher and send it to the instructor. The students can then complete a live-fire exercise with a parent, guardian or other mentor (must be an adult who is over 21 and is also a hunter education graduate). The student and mentor will record the live-fire exercise and send the video to the instructor with a photo of the target. The instructor will review and evaluate the video based on safe firearm-handling principles. Then students will be given the final written exam for the hunter education course online. Online classes are $13-$29, in addition to the $10 registration certificate, which needs to be purchased before you register for the class.
Typically, the only cost for the instructor-led classes is the $10 registration certificate. About 65 percent of Utah’s hunter education courses are taken online. Those courses and the new online virtual field day exercises can be taken at any time. You can find links to the approved online courses on the DWR website. January and February are the most popular months for hunter education courses, so people can apply for the big game hunt drawing. The next busiest months are July and August, right before the fall general-season big game hunts. Online registration changes Another new change to hunter education has simplified the course registration process. Previously, if someone was interested in taking an instructor-led Hunter Education Program course, they had to purchase a hunter education registration certificate from a DWR office or license agent, find an available class on the DWR website, and then call or email the instructor to register for the class. Now, students can buy a hunter education registration certificate online or from any available license agent, find a hunter education course on the DWR website, and register for the class online. The new online registration feature will also only display available classes; previously, an applicant wouldn’t know if a class was already full until they contacted the instructor.
This new online registration process will be available for several DWR courses, including hunter education, furharvester education and bowhunter education. “This change was made to make the course registration process consistent, regardless of the class or the instructor,” DWR Hunter Education Coordinator Gary Cook said. “We wanted to make the process easier and more streamlined for the public. And now, when someone completes a hunter education course, the wait time is a lot shorter for when they can start applying for hunting permits. While the course requirements haven’t changed, this administrative change should help the process become more efficient and standardized, so people can get out and go hunting sooner.” After a hunter education course has been completed, a physical copy of the hunter education “blue card,” which shows proof of the course completion, will be mailed to the student. The new required online registration and temporary online field day became available April 10. “Don’t delay in taking hunter education if you’d like to hunt big game or any other species this fall,” Cook said. “The temporary online field day opportunity and the new online registration should make things more convenient and flexible, so that anyone who would like to take hunter education at this time will be able to do so.”

NOTICE OF REFUNDING
Notice Is Hereby Given pursuant to the provisions of Section 11-27-4, Utah Code Annotated 1953, as amended, that on April 21, 2020 the Board of Education (the “Board”) of North Sanpete School District, Sanpete County, Utah (the “District”), adopted a resolution (the “Resolution”) in which it authorized and approved the issuance of its general obligation refunding bonds (the “Bonds”) in the aggregate principal amount of not to exceed Fourteen Million Dollars, to bear interest at a rate or rates of not to exceed three percent per annum, to mature over a period not to exceed thirteen years from their date or dates and to be sold at a discount from par, expressed as a percentage of the principal amount, of not to exceed two percent. Pursuant to the Resolution, the Bonds are to be issued for the purpose of raising money for refunding all or a portion of the Boardʼs currently outstanding General Obligation School Building Bonds, Series 2012 (the “Refunded Bonds”) in order to benefit the Board and the inhabitants of the District by achieving a debt service savings on the Boardʼs general obligation bonds and restructuring certain principal maturities of the Boardʼs general obligation indebtedness to better match available resources. The aggregate principal amount of the Bonds, if any, issued for the purpose of refunding the Refunded Bonds may exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Refunded Bonds.

America’s great country music stars from reaching out. Country music stars came together on Sunday, April 5th with acoustic performances recorded from their homes for a televised special that replaced the annual Academy of Country Music Awards, which were canceled due to the global Coronavirus outbreak. The two-hour “ACM Presents: Our Country” featured Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, Old Dominion and others. “CBS This Morning” anchor Gayle King hosted the show from her home in New York. “What these guys have done is amazing,” King said in an interview to preview the event. “You have Lady Antebellum in three different locations with their kids sort of climbing all around them. That was fun,” King said. “Shania Twain, who’s in her barn with a live horse that’s sort of listening to her play, while the dog is sitting there looking like, ok, is she still singing?” The event included a special tribute to Kenny Rogers by Luke Bryan, Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker and Lionel Richie, the writer of one of Rogers’ biggest hits, ‘Lady.’ Rogers died March 20 at age 81. The ACM Awards were to have taken place at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas,
with days of preceding concerts and events. The show is among the many live events canceled to prevent large gatherings that could spread the novel Coronavirus. “The country music community came together in an incredible way – and very quickly – for Our Country, and that outpouring of immediate artist support led us to develop a digital pre-show so that we could include even more artists in the country music celebration Sunday night,” said Academy of Country Music CEO Damon Whiteside in a statement. “This allows more artists to share the positive messages of support and togetherness with the fans.” Meanwhile, donations are pouring in from celebrities everywhere to help feed and buy protective gear for those on the front lines and to feed those in need. As the numbers of those infected with COVID-19 rose to over 1.4 million worldwide as of Wednesday evening, the world’s biggest performers have either made sizable donations or have utilized their already-existing businesses to provide relief. Some have done hands-on work feeding neighbors and community members in their area. Here in central Utah, many are doing what they can to help neighbors by reaching out with a smile and letting their light shine also counts!

Intermountain Healthcare quickly manufactures, ships protective face shields SALT LAKE CITY — To help meet the growing demand for personal protective equipment (PPE), Intermountain Healthcare switched its printing production and is manufacturing tens of thousands of protective face shields for Utah caregivers on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nearly 50,000 face shields are expected to be finished by the end of this week. Leaders at Intermountain’s Supply Chain know face shields are an important piece of PPE but are normally only used during large outbreaks. Due to global demand and rising prices they are difficult to acquire in large quantities. So, in late March they brainstormed ideas, and within five days had a face shield tested and ready for mass production. Face shields offer another layer of protection to keep caregivers safe from the coronavirus and tend be more comfortable to wear for long periods of time. Caregivers don’t have to wear goggles when using a face shield and they can help prolong the use of N95 masks which they help cover. The polycarbonate material the shield it made of is strong enough to be cleaned and sanitized for multiple uses. “I was amazed at how quickly we

of the lack of traditional street addresses. Also Thursday, the Utah House passed a proposal that would rein in the governor’s emergency powers by requir-
ing that lawmakers be notified of orders 48 hours in advance, unless lives are at risk. Supporters said lawmakers should be aware of decisions like school closures ahead of time, but opponents said it could slow down the governor in times of crisis. It now goes to the Senate.

works to control them. Around the first part of April, take a piece of corrugated cardboard that has large tunnel-like features between the two surfaces, then cut it about four to six inches wide and apply one strip for each apple or pear tree that is over four-years-old. Take a wire brush to the tree trunk of all trees to remove any loose

Face shields are more comfortable to wear than goggles and are easily sterilized for multiple uses. were able to go from an idea to a usable face shield that can last,” said Scott Schofield, director of supply chain services at Intermountain Healthcare. “Thanks to businesses and partners in the community we’re now churning out thousands of shields every day.” Intermountain has redeployed 20 caregivers to assemble the face shields at their supply chain facility in Midvale. Local organizations and companies, including the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and University of Utah of Health, are helping with the effort by supplying materials and lo-
bark etc. Take the cardboard and wrap it around the base of the tree about six inches above the ground. Secure the cardboard with two strands of wire. Do not use tape, as it will just fall off. In mid-June carefully remove the cardboard from the trees and place it in a plastic bag for burning. Replace with new cardboard until late October, then be sure to remove and burn the cardboard, which prevents spreading
gistics in making the face shields. Because everything is being shipped and assembled locally, the turnaround for getting them to frontline caregivers is much faster. “It’s great to see how the investments we’ve made in our supply chain and community partnerships are paying such huge dividends in helping with this pandemic,” said Schofield. Shipments of face shields have already gone to Intermountain hospitals, University of Utah Health, and the Salt Lake VA Hospital. Intermountain plans to ship them to any other hospitals in Utah that need them.
the moth. By doing this correctly, worm holes in apples and pears could be reduced as much as 70 percent. One last evil that must be dealt with on peach, nectarine and apricot trees is the limb or trunk borer. If not dealt with, the borers can quickly destroy fruit trees. The borers are easy to discover, just check trees for a yellow honey-like substance oozing out of small holes in tree limbs and trunks of trees.
If discovered, take an ice pick or sharp tool and stick it in the hole several times, which should kill the borer. Then take some animal fat heated to a soft liquid form and paint a two-inch strip around the limb or trunk below the borer holes. This method has been used by old time orchardists for over a century.
