MT. PLEASANT — North Sanpete School District (NSSD) recently announced the selection of eight 2018-19 Teachers of the Year during the April 16 NSSD Board Meeting. The eight teachers awarded are Paul Allred, Selena Shelley, Ken Hansen, Rebecca Stum, Kathy Dimick, Tiffany Wright, Harold Orton and Susan Jacobson. Paul Allred Paul Allred has been teaching at North Sanpete High School for the past 16 years and has taught for a total of 20 years. For many years he has taught at least six different art classes each semester, which is a monumental task for even an experienced teacher. Allred exhibits a skill and ability to teach various media at a level required for high school students and has exposed his classes to the world of art, graphics, sculpture, ceramics, photography, painting, drawing and print making. A number of his students have had success participating in various competitions. Allred has also worked with Snow College and Wasatch Academy to establish local art competition opportunities to win scholarships. Selena Shelley Selena Shelley began her career in NSSD as a bus driver. She then taught students in grades K-6 at Moroni Elementary and has completed her teacher interning at Fairview Elementary and has now worked for two years with second grade students.

Her students share the fun facts or study items they are learning about with others. She is highly regarded among her colleagues who recognize the extra time and effort Shelley puts into preparations for classes. It is evident that she cares about each student and wants to ensure their success. Ken Hansen Ken Hansen has been involved in education for many years. He has been an instructor for the past five years at the Pleasant Creek High

School, Mt. Pleasant. He has been teaching English classes and the students have been reading Shakespeare with some excitement. The students have enjoyed great success with over 70 percent having achieved above a 3.0 GPA this last term. The Pleasant Creek SOAR class is expected to have 20 graduates this year, which is a record to date. Hansen has set the standards for his students and with his great rapport with them, the students continually pass or break above them. He is an amazing example of what it takes to reach all students. Rebecca Stum

Rebecca Stum has been a teacher at Moroni Elementary for the past 14 years, with a total of 15 years of teaching. She currently teaches second grade but has taught first through fifth grades. Stum has the talent of finding ways to work with every child regardless whether they are a high achiever or struggling with concepts. She is knowledgeable and willing to share ideas and help less experienced teachers. Her students often score above typical growth and have made gains in literacy every year. Stum works to make sure each student feels loved and makes progress in her classroom. Kathy Dimick Kathy Dimick teaches at Mt. Pleasant Elementary and has done so for the past four years. Prior to coming to Mt. Pleasant, she taught in the Weber County School District for 23 years. Dimick has taught first, third, fourth and sixth grade and has been a reading specialist. In February 2019, the school needed a teacher for the first grade and Dimick, who was teaching sixth grade, agreed to change and entered the first grade classroom. She made the change and took on the challenge with a smile and positive attitude. The first grade students embraced her and they have been working together to improve from that first day. Dimick has worked on social skills, helped with reading, improved classroom management and has done an Please see TEACHERS, Page A6

North Sanpete Community Wildfire Council Chair

FAIRVIEW — North Sanpete Community Wildfire Council (NSCWC), in conjunction with the National Fire Protection Association, will sponsor a Wildfire Risk Assessment Event Wednesday, May 1; Thursday, May 2; and Saturday, May 4. Residents and property owners in the North Sanpete County located north of Milburn, on both the east and west side of Highway 89 are encouraged to participate. Trained Assessors provided by the Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands will walk the property with the owner to assess specific wildfire risks and suggest an action plan to minimize those risks. This service is provided at no cost to the owner through a grant awarded to our North Sanpete Community Wildfire Council. Studies show communities that prepare and take action to reduce risks have the greatest resiliency in a wildfire. A Risk Assessment is the most important step to take in beginning to understand wildfire behavior and create defensible space. Not only does it identify firewise actions the property owner can take, but it may also identify opportunities for additional assistance from the Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands covered by our North Sanpete Community Wildfire Council grant(s). For additional information contact Kathi Walters at (989) 495-3967.

Sanpete County Republicans elect new delegates EPHRAIM — Sanpete County Republican Party saw a wholesale change in party leadership at their Organizing Convention held April 17 at the Ephraim Middle School. Delegates elected were Steven J. Clark, Chester, chairperson; Dave Garff, Chester, as vice-chair; and LuAnn Greenwell, Milburn, secretary/treasurer. New Administrative Area officers are: North, Roy Drew, chair; Reed Pettingill, vice-chair; Central: Klaudia Nielsen, chair; Jeff Stevenson, vice-chair; South: Stan Jensen, chair; and Jenny Peterson, vice-chair.

Committee is Keith Jensen, current Mayor of Wales. Clark is a retired CentraCom manager and full-time author, with four novels under his belt. Garff works as an executive for a Garff family enterprise, and Greenwell is the retired Wells Fargo Bank Manager of the Mt. Pleasant, UT branch. All have been active in the Republican Party for many years. No stranger to party leadership, Clark successfully served in the same position from 2011 to 2013. Garff was the Central Administrative Area Chair, and Greenwell the North Administrative Area Vice-chair. According to Clark, Chairman

Pickett is turning the party over in far better condition than it was when Clark assumed the Chairpersonship eight years ago. Pickett served as Clark’s vice-chair in Clark’s first administration. “We started out with only $348 in the bank. We couldn’t provide any financial help to our candidates or afford any party promotion. It took two years to get the ship turned around, but the day I left office, the party had nearly $10,000 in the bank,” said Clark.

P Y R A M I D

Taylors have made a difference Dear Editor: I want to praise two people that have quietly made a difference in Mt. Pleasant. These two are the nicest and kindest people I know. They are R.L. and Carlene Taylor. R.L. came into our lives over 60 years ago. He was my sister, Carlene’s, high school sweetheart. The first thing I remember about R.L. was, he had a neat car and he was quite tall. He made quite an impression in Chester. R.L. worked up at Hill Airforce Base for many years and Carlene worked at the Veteran Administration Hospital. As soon as they both retired, they wanted to move back to Mt. Pleasant, and that is exactly what they did. The Taylors bought a lot on the west side of town that had what was left of an old house on it. They could see the possibilities and went to work. The house had two rooms and the cows used to walk through it. The couple restored the two rooms and added more to it. Now their home has been completely restored and is so beautiful they have had weddings on the lawn and family reunions there. In the 25 years the Taylors have lived in Mt. Pleasant, they have quietly made a big difference to the town, making it a more beautiful place to live. After the home was finished, they started on the next project, an old bank in the 200 block of Main Street. The bank building was great, but needed some TLC (tender loving

care). It was in that building that Carlene opened an antique shop, “Heart of Utah Antiques”, which she operated for nine years. The antique shop brought joy and enriched the lives of people in Sanpete. R.L. was always there to help refinish the furniture and for moral support. The next project the Taylors took on was to restore a lovely old home at 341 West Main Street. After it was finished in 2011, they couldn’t sell it because they loved it too much. They had put too much love and work into it. Next was the lovely Emil Rutishauser home at 109 South 200 East. It was originally built by Adolth Merz in 1903. R.L. loved that house for years. He used to gather fast offerings there. Restoring that home was a labor of love and when completed in 2015 they couldn’t part with it either. R.L. is now busy restoring the old Johansen house at 388 South 200 West, built by Peter Christian Lund in 1912. It will also be a work of art when completed. Even though R.L. is 84 years old and Carlene is 83, don’t expect them to stop. Before long R.L. will be looking around for another old house to make beautiful. They are both amazing people.

When was the first time you heard the word “redaction?” I’m not sure when I heard it the first time, but I can tell you that I’m getting sick of the word now. I’m sick of it as a noun and as a verb. I believe the verb conjugation would be: redact, redacted and have redacted. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, one definition of “redact,” as a verb, is: “to obscure or remove text from a document prior to publication or release.” Redactions would be defined as those portions, which have been removed or obscured by blacking out or some other means. The title of this column has been redacted. The “X’s” in the title indicate that something has been removed, presumably because that portion may be sensitive or controversial. This column’s title is a statement posted on a Snow College professor’s door. I “stole” it for use here. The last word was blacked out. I’m using “X’s” for purposes of this column. Of course it’s the “Mueller Report” which is in the news that has me thinking about the word “redaction.” The report deals with the investigation that Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his team recently completed. The report deals with Russian interference in the 2016 presidential elections. (Merriam Webster reported that searches for the words “redact, redacted and redaction” increased 4,000 percent on March 29.) The report was given to the U.S. Justice Department. Bill Barr, Attorney General, has released the report with redactions. I got on my computer and examined the 448page report. No, I didn’t take time to read it all. I have too many other reads on my to do list that have higher priority than that report. I have a 958page book titled History of the World. I also have a book called Everything Imaginable, which has 512 pages. I’ve also been thinking about reading the phone book. I figure if I can make it through those books, I’ll have gained more knowledge than reading between blacked out words, sentences and paragraphs and pages in a redacted report. I gather that more than 12 percent of the Mueller Report is blacked out. Each “blackout” is labeled with a reason for the redaction. Some of the “black outs” are said to be classified information, some are blocked because of “personal privacy,” and some are in the realm of legal rules

Residents concerned, splash pad fee reinstated Dear Editor: I, and several of other residents, are concerned with the recent action of the Mt. Pleasant City Council in reinstating the $1 fee for use of the splash pad. In addressing our concerns, we ask the following questions: 1. What data regarding usage was used in determining the reinstating fee? (Did the council ask the appropriate questions before rushing to vote to reinstate?) 2. Was free Monday determined because it is the most unused day for usage? 3. What is the average time a

child actually uses the pad? (If time is less than an hour, is this fee even fair?) 4. If a child enters the pad in the morning, goes home for lunch and then wants to come back, is this child recharged for use? 5. If a child only used the pad for less than an hour, can their fee be used by another child for the day? 6. Given that the usage may be less than an hour at a time, for a family of four, is the $1 fee per child fair? 7. What is the anticipated revenue (pad only open from June to August – three months

at most) from the reinstatement and just what will the revenue be used to pay for, i.e., employee to actually monitor the pad and receive the revenue, pay for replacement and repair of equipment, implement the pay-to-play mentality? WHAT? When the fee was previously used, how much revenue was generated and will it really cover these costs? 8. When the city chose to build a splash pad, shouldn’t costs of maintenance and repair have been built into the general budget of the city? 9. Other cities in the county do not charge, why then can’t

Mt. Pleasant follow their lead and provide a place for our young children to play in the few short months of summer? 10. If vandalism is a problem, shouldn’t measures be taken to combat the problem like greater police surveillance or possibly security cameras? I, and my fellow residents, ask that the council reconsider their recent decision and provide a place for our youth to enjoy our hot summer days without a burden to their parents. Come on Mt. Pleasant City – Let’s get family friendly!!! Pam Stoker and friends Mt. Pleasant

for grand juries, etc. The biggest chunk of the blacked-out material is labeled “harm to ongoing matter.” This category is what has been given the most attention by critics of the redactions. Some believe that these are the areas that are potentially most embarrassing to President Trump. The whole concept of redaction has been making quite the trip around the Internet. People who want to poke fun at the process are finding it to be an easy target. @ryanbeckwith posted on twitter: Mom: What are you planning for Mother’s Day? Me: XXXXX (harm to ongoing matter) Another posted: Me: Hey, not gonna make it into work today. Boss: Okay, why is that? Me: XXXXX (harm to ongoing matter) @_cingraham wrote: Girl, are you a heavily redacted document? Because I just can’t read you. I sometimes do my own verbal versions of redactions in certain situations. I recommend that you consider using a version of this in your own situations that require an official sounding answer when you don’t want to reveal too much. Here’s the example: Church Leader: How are you doing on that assignment of planning the party for next month? Me: Due to the sensitive nature of the negotiations and individuals involved, I’m unable at this time to divulge the condition of the extensive planning that may or may not be in place at this particular moment. I can neither confirm, nor deny any aspect of this delicate matter. (In other words, I completely forgot about the assignment and it falls into the category of “harm to ongoing matter”) If I were redacting a material for The Pyramid, I can imagine a story appearing in the paper with a paragraph like this: XXXXXXXX inside XXXXXXXXX Sanpete XXXXXXXXXXXXX is XXXXXXXX XXXXXX a XXXXXXXX must XXXXXXXXXXX read XXXXXXXXXX every XXXXXXXXXXXXX week.

Small firms benefit from growing economy DAN NORDBERG

SBA Region VIII Administrator

DENVER, CO — The old saying that a rising tide lifts all boats rings true given today’s growing economy. The U.S. economies historic boom benefits all Americans as job creation soars and wages rise. The economy outperformed expectations for the second year in a row in 2018. More than 2.6 million jobs were created last year, and the number of job openings surpassed the number of unemployed workers for the first time on record. The unemployment rate remained at or below four percent for the past 13 months, the longest streak in nearly five decades. The booming economy paid off for American workers last year — with nominal hourly wage growth exceeding three percent for the first time in almost a decade. Since 2017, the Trump Administration has rolled back job-killing regulations to unleash an economic boom across all sectors of the economy. In

Dan Nordberg SBA Region VIII Administrator 2018 alone, Federal agencies issued 12 deregulatory actions for every new significant regulatory action, saving businesses $23 billion in regulatory costs. During this tax filing season, it is important to remember that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act signed into law by President Trump has spurred additional

business investment and put more money into the pockets of most American workers. Real disposable personal income increased by $2,300 from the end of 2017 to the fourth quarter of 2018. Business investment and productivity are on the rise thanks to the tax cuts, and capital expenditures are up $300 billion from 2017. One of the most powerful benefits of the tax law is the new 20 percent Qualified Business Income (Section 199A of the tax law) deduction for small firms and the self-employed. Section 199A allows owners of pass-through entities to deduct 20 percent of the business income that is passed onto their individual return. The overall goal of all of these economic policies advanced by President Trump is to make sure that all small business owners are leveraging the tax cuts and deregulation efforts pushed forward since the start of his administration. “Today, business owners are

investing in their companies and their employees by raising wages, providing bonuses, and increasing benefits,” says Dan Nordberg, SBA Region VIII Administrator. “I look forward to additional good economic news over the next several months. 2019 looks to be a banner year for small business growth in Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming. I am proud to represent the president in serving the small business communities across this region in the coming year.” About Nordberg Dan Nordberg serves as the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Region VIII Administrator based in Denver, CO. He oversees the agency’s programs and services in Colorado, Montana, Utah, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming.

PUBLIC NOTICE

Notice is hereby given that on the 16th day of May 2019 at 10:00 A.M. at the West Lobby of the Sanpete County Courthouse, Manti City, Sanpete County, Utah, the Sanpete County Auditor, Stacey Ann Lyon, will offer for sale at public auction and sell to the highest bidder for cash, under the provisions of section 59-2-1351 and 59-2-1351.1 Utah Code, the following described real

property, located in said county and now five years delinquent and subject to tax sale. A bid for less than the total amount of taxes, interest, penalty and administrative costs, which are a charge upon said real estate will not be accepted.

METHOD OF SALE

The Board of County Commissioners of Sanpete County has determined the following method of sale best meets the objectives of protecting the financial interests of the delinquent property owner and collecting delinquent property taxes due: The highest bid amount for the entire parcel of property. However, a bid may not be accepted for an amount which is insufficient to pay the taxes, penalties, interest and administrative costs. Any amount received in excess of the delinquent taxes, penalties and interest due to all local governments, and any administrative costs by the County, shall be treated as unclaimed property and paid to the State Treasurer’s Office, pursuant to Title 67, Chapter 4a of the Utah Unclaimed Property Act.

SANPETE COUNTY TAX SALE RULES

1. The County Auditor will state the amount of taxes, penalties, interest, and administrative costs on the parcel being offered for sale, which is the amount at which bidding will begin and the lowest acceptable bid. 2. Upon receipt of a bid sufficient to pay the taxes, penalties, interest, and administrative costs on the parcel, higher bids shall be solicited. The bid received in the highest dollar amount, when no higher bids are tendered upon request by the County Auditor, shall be the bid accepted (if such bid is otherwise acceptable under these rules). 3. Property having title deficiencies, description deficiencies, or other deficiencies may be withdrawn from a tax sale. Property withdrawn from a tax sale may be re-certified to a subsequent year’s tax sale after the reasons for the withdrawal have been resolved. Re-certification must be approved/ratified by the Board of Commissioners. 4. A property determined to be a public street, road, canal, or other property subject to public use, based on the records of the County Recorder and/or a physical on-site inspection, will be struck from the sale in the name of Sanpete County. Any property offered for sale for which there is no purchaser or which is not otherwise acceptable under these rules shall be struck off to Sanpete County by the County Auditor, 5. and fee simple title to the property shall then be vested in Sanpete County. Only cash, certified funds, or personal checks will be accepted in payment for property. Payment is due, and shall be made to the County Treasurer. After the conclusion of the 6. bidding for the delinquent parcels of property included in the annual real property tax sale, the sale will be adjourned for a 30 minute recess, during which time all payments for parcels of property purchased at the tax sale shall be made to the Sanpete County Treasurer. Any parcels of property which have not been paid for at the conclusion of the recess period will be re-auctioned. At the re-auction no bids will be accepted from any bidder who failed to pay any bid. If no bid is received at the re-auction for the parcel of property, the Board of County Commissioners may enforce the original accepted bid. Any individual who is a successful bidder for a parcel of property included in the annual real property tax sale and who fails to pay for said parcel of property, will be barred as a bidder in the tax sale the following year. 7. A property owner or lien holder CANNOT better his or her position by purchasing at the tax sale. This includes having family, friends, or associates buying the property and quit claiming it back to the owner. Therefore, if a lien holder, associate, or the owner pays the tax at the sale it will be considered a redemption rather than a tax sale. The County Auditor reserves the right to prevent bidders from participating in the auction or accept bids from bidders that he/she has reason to believe may be attempting to violate this ordinance. This includes prevent a winning bidder from paying a winning bid to the Treasurer on the day of the sale and/or not allowing the bid to be ratifed by the Sanpete County Commission after the sale. 8. A bidder shall preregister in person, prior to 9:55 A.M. on day of sale, and be given a number for bidding purposes. In the registration, the bidder shall properly and clearly identify correct information and address for use in issuance of deeds. A. Bids submitted and the Tax Deed issued thereafter will only be executed in the name of an individual bidder/purchaser. B. Individual bidder shall mean a corporation, partnership, trustees of a trust, or proprietorship duly registered, or licensed, in the State of Utah, or a natural person or husband and wife. C. A bidder must register the name under which he/she will bid in the sale and each bidder will be limited to registering and bidding under one name only. 9.

One deed, and only one deed, will be issued to the successful bidder on parcels sold.

10.

The bidder first recognized by the County Auditor will be the first bid recorded, etc. As in any auction, the bid recognized is the one in effect at the time.

11.

Collusive bidding will be strictly prohibited.

12. Loud whispering, yelling, cell phone ringing, or talking, other than the bids, must be avoided so that accurate records may be kept of the proceedings of the sale. At any time the County Auditor may excuse a bidder for this reason. 13.

The final bid number announced by the County Auditor is the official sale, and the bidders previously registered name and address will be the name that will go on the deed.

14. All bids shall be considered conditional dependent on whether or not the bid is contested, until reviewed, and accepted, by the Board of County Commissioners, acting at a regular scheduled meeting. 15. The Board of County Commissioners may reject any and all bids on the ground that none is acceptable. Should a bid be rejected, all funds accepted for the concerned parcel will be refunded. 16. Once the County Auditor has closed the sale of a particular parcel of property as a result of accepting a bid on said parcel, the successful bidder, or purchaser of the property, may not unilaterally rescind the bid. The county legislative body, after acceptance of a bid, may enforce the terms of the bid by obtaining a legal judgement against the purchaser in the amount of the bid, plus interest and attorney’s fees. 17.

A fee in the amount of $400.00 will be assessed on each parcel for ‘administrative costs’

18. Any person wishing to contest any action taken in connection with the Tax Sale must present such protest in writing to the Sanpete County Commission by 9 a.m. on Tuesday, May 21, 2019. 19.

BEAVER — Utah State University (USU) Southwest held its commencement ceremony on April 18, 2019. A total of 73 students received diplomas for associate, bachelors, masters and a doctorate degree. There was a wide variety of degrees awarded, including agribusiness, communicative disorders and deaf education, economics, and sociology. “The vast majority of these students are raising families, working full time, and volunteers in their communities,” said Nancy Glomb, USU Southwest associate vice president. “Simply earning a degree is a lot of work, and this graduating class was able to find a way to do it while balancing the rest of their responsibilities. Despite their unique experiences,” she said, “they all have one thing in common: a never-give-up attitude.” The ceremony kicked off with the processional and then the presentation of colors by the Beaver National Guard. Rachel McMaster, a USU Southwest student who earned her associate degree, performed the national anthem. Glomb then welcomed the graduates and their families. Student speaker Shelly Luttes addressed many of the challenges this graduating class had to overcome to make it to the commencement stage,

Susan Jacobson Susan Jacobson has been a teacher for 18 years and has taught at Fountain Green Elementary for the past 15 years. She has taught kindergarten, first grade and second grade classes. She was the kindergarten, first and second grade teacher for one lucky group of students who are currently high school seniors. Jacobson is considered to be an incredible person and a dedicated teacher. She is one of the first teachers in the building each morning and often the last to leave. It is not unusual to find her there on weekends too.

“…Financial troubles, health problems, parenting hurdles, time constraints, transportation issues, double-booked responsibilities, late nights, extreme fatigue, feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, and possibly even hopeless.” She explained that each student had to confront their problems and conquer them. “We need to take a moment to allow ourselves the joyful satisfaction that we have done something really hard, and we have done it well!” Dave Woolstenhulme, vice president of Regional Campuses, congratulated the graduating class and shared his own story of earning a college degree from USU. “If it wasn’t for USU’s land-grant mission to make college accessible throughout Utah,” he said, “a college degree would have been nearly impossible for many of these graduates. I’m grateful to be a part of a university whose goal is to empower all who wish to earn a degree, no matter where they live.” The Beaver High School choir then performed a musical number before Janet Anderson, USU vice provost, conferred the degrees.

National History Day competitors investigate triumph, tragedy SALT LAKE CITY — Throughout this academic year, young Utah scholars explored the triumph and tragedy of people and events in history. Can one person’s triumph be another’s tragedy? Can the same person or group suffer from tragedy and enjoy triumph at the same time? How does one ultimately triumph after tragedy? The 6,300-plus students who participated in Utah’s National History Day program this year have some good answers to these questions. Based on the theme “Triumph and Tragedy in History,” these young historians have conducted extensive historical research on topics ranging from women’s suffrage to the Titanic, from international adoption to the bombing of Hiroshima, and from Malala Yousafzai to the polio vaccine. Showcasing their research and their creativity through exhibits, performances, documentary films, websites, and pa-

pers, these students are ready to share their discoveries From 9-11 a.m., the competition will be held with the award ceremony from 4-5 p.m., on Friday, April 26, for over 400 middle- and high-school students who will compete in the Utah History Day State Contest at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center, 1355 West 3100 South, West Valley City. These students have earned the right to compete at State at one of nine regional competitions held earlier this spring. State champions will represent Utah at the prestigious National History Day competition in Washington, D.C., this June. For the first time in Utah, a “youth division” of fourth and fifth graders will participate in their own state competition on Thursday, April 25 from 2-5 p.m., with the award ceremony at 5 p.m. More than half a million students worldwide participate in National History Day

every year. In Utah, the program is available statewide, with regional competitions in Logan, Ogden, Salt Lake, Orem, Price, Tabiona, Beaver, St. George, and Blanding. Whether they live in rural or urban areas, or attend private or public schools, History Day students gain a deeper understanding of both the past and the present through their work. “History Day offers teachers a powerful way to interest today’s kids in history and develop a sense of civic engagement,” said Dr. Wendy Rex-Atzet, Utah History Day State Coordinator. “Each student has selected their area of focus. It’s an event or person important to them. Students gain concrete skills in research, reading, writing, critical thinking, and creative presentation. This skill set translates to kids who are better prepared for college and careers.” Utah History Day (formerly

called Utah History Fair) has operated continuously in Utah since 1980 and is the official National History Day affiliate program for the state. Originally developed and housed at Utah State University, the program was transferred in 2014 to the Utah Division of State History. “Utah History Day is a student competition, of course, but it is more than that,” said Robert Austin, the State Social Studies Specialist. “It is also an opportunity to engage in the journey of learning. I know not all students expect to become historians in the future, but we hope all will become engaged and informed members of their community. A nation that is dedicated to a free and informed citizenry will count on students like these.” More details about Utah History Day and National History Day can be found at history.utah.gov/utah-history-day.

Millions in new lost property now online for claims SALT LAKE CITY– Utah State Treasurer David Damschen recently announced that the Utah Unclaimed Property Division received more than $54.8 million in lost property at the end of 2018 and $24.4 million paid out for claims during the year. This property comes from sources, such as dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, safe deposit box contents and unpaid insurance benefits. Individuals may submit a claim for properties of deceased relatives if the individual can prove they are the rightful heir. In any case where there is more than one heir, they can claim their portion of the property. For more information and to search property, visit mycash. utah.gov or call (801) 715-3300. “We encourage Utahns to check mycash.utah.gov every year as they file their taxes to see if they have lost property to claim. We receive tens of millions of dollars in new unclaimed property each year, so the odds are good that you or a relative have unclaimed property, even if you haven’t in the past,” Treasurer Damschen said. A property is by law considered abandoned and must be turned over to the state if the holder of the property has not had contact with the owner for three years. Property holders remitted

382,349 new properties to the Unclaimed Property Division of the State Treasurer’s Office by the Nov. 1, 2018 annual reporting deadline, along with the names and last-known addresses of owners. The Division currently safeguards more than $370 million in unclaimed property. “Despite our aggressive education campaigns, many people still don’t search for property because they don’t think they could have lost anything. But that is exactly what we need them to do,” Unclaimed Property Division Administrator Dennis Johnston said. “There are many ways to lose property. People might move and forget they had a deposit with the utility company, or they might be beneficiaries of life insurance policies they didn’t know existed. Checking to see if you or your friends and relatives have lost property is simple, easy and something everyone should do at least once a year.” Unclaimed property is usually money, but the Unclaimed Property Division also regularly receives items from abandoned safe deposit boxes that can be claimed. The Division has a vault full of interesting items like coins, baseball cards, art and photographs. These items are periodically sold via auction, and the proceeds remain available to be claimed by the rightful owner.

UDAF reacts to release of 2017 Agriculture Census SALT LAKE CITY — With the recent release of the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Agriculture Statistic Service’s (USDA NASS) 2017 Census of Agriculture, federal, state and industry groups now have updated data necessary to make informed decisions about agriculture, food and rural development. “Census data gives us a critical snapshot of important facts and trends that impact policy and decisions for the next several

years,” said LuAnn Adams, commissioner for the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food. “I am pleased with the support Utah producers give to USDA as we consistently have one of the highest response rates in the nation at 75 percent.” The Census of Agriculture is a count of U.S. farms and ranches and the people who operate them. Even small plots of land – whether rural or urban – growing fruit, vegetables or some food animals count if

$1,000 or more of such products were raised and sold, or normally would have been sold, during the Census year. Taken only once every five years – the last representing 2012 data – the Census looks at land use and ownership, operator characteristics, production practices, income and expenditures. Full census data can be viewed at the USDA NASS website at: https://www.nass.usda. gov/AgCensus/index.php Following are some highlights

from Utah’s portion of the data: Farm and Land in Farms: While the number of Utah farmland dropped from 10,974,396 acres in 2012 to 10,811,604 acres in 2017, the number of farms actually increased from 18,027 in 2012 to 18,409 in 2017, pointing to a steady growth in urban farming. Farmland Production: Orchard land grew by 7.3% between censuses, with Utah County and tart cherries seeing the largest portion of that growth. Vegetable farmland grew by 9.3% mostly in Weber and Cache Counties and with pumpkins and onions leading the way. Pumpkins indicate a growing interest in agri-tourism experiences.

Economic Data: The market value of raw agriculture products sold in Utah is also up 1.2% reaching a little over $1.8 billion, crops seeing a 2.3% increase and livestock a 2.9% increase since 2012. However, when agriculture manufacturing is included, Utah’s agriculture industry actually jumps to $21 billion in total economic output, as noted from a 2017 study done by Utah State University researchers. Top Utah Products: Utah’s largest commodity is beef, accounting for 20.6% of all raw agricultural sales. Close behind is cow milk at 19.4%. Other crops such as hay (15%), pork (12.6%), and poultry and eggs (11.3%) round out the top five.

Top Agriculture Expenses: Labor costs saw a significant jump of 18% over the previous five years, while animal feed was down 21% over the same time period. Livestock purchases also jumped 24%. Renewable Energy: Utah agriculture producers more than doubled their investments in solar panel and geothermal renewable energies on their farms. Organic Agriculture: The number of organic farms is up by 63% and so too are the earnings of those farms going from $9.1 million in 2012 to $30.8 million in 2017. USDA NASS will be releasing more in-depth state and county profile data on May 30.

Roy "Tut" Rostron 1936~2019 SPRING CITY-- Zeldon Roy "Tut" Rostron, 83, Spring City, UT: passed away April 21, 2019, in Mt. Pleasant, UT; surrounded by loved ones. Roy was born March 2, 1936, to David Delno Rostron and Dorothy E. Hansen, in Moroni, Utah. He spent his childhood years in Clear Creek, UT; where he gained numerous fond memories that he loved to share with everyone he met. He moved to Mt. Pleasant to attend high school, where he met the love of his life, Lida Verene Jensen. They were sealed in the Manti Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Oct 28, 1954. They became loving parents to four children, Sherie, Karl, SherRane, and Nathan. Roy served as a member of the Utah National Guard. He was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where he enjoyed many callings but his favorites were Scout leader and temple ordinance worker. Roy loved sports and was a great player, coach, and spectator. His other passions in life included hunting and fishing and he took every chance he could to do both. He was a loving and devoted husband and took care of Verene after she was involved in a life changing accident. He was a friend to everyone he met and always had a story to share with a smile on his face. Roy is survived by his children Sherie (Val) Sorensen, Spring City; Karl (Kelei) Rostron, Las Vegas, NV; SherRane Rostron, Ephraim; Nate (Rhonda) Rostron, Spring City; 12 grandchildren, 19 ½ great-grandchildren, and one great-great-granddaughter, all of whom he loved tremendously and in return everyone loved Grandpa Roy.

PLEASANT-Sandra Kae Nielson Johnson, 81, passed away surrounded by loving family after suffering from congestive heart failure at Sanpete Valley Hospital April 17, 2019. Sandra was born June 5, 1937, to William and Sena Nielson in Salt Lake City. She was raised in Ephraim and attended Snow High in Ephraim. She met her sweetheart, Evan Philip Johnson, on a blind date and married him on Aug. 11, 1955. The couple were later sealed in the Manti Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on April 16, 1966. While raising her children, Sandra attended and graduated from Maryʼs College of Beauty in Provo. She went on to own and operate Sandraʼs Country Curl in Ephraim. Art class in high school was her love and passion. When Sandraʼs children were older, she self-taught herself how to paint. In the early 1990s, Sandra was named Utahʼs Leading Woman Artist. She has painted many inspiring paintings in oil, pastels, watercolors, and acrylics. Her artwork is displayed in many homes and museums all over Utah. Sandra was very talented in many areas, there wasnʼt anything she could not do. She loved the beauty of earth, and became an avid gardener. This showed in her immaculate yard that is admired by many people in the community. Sandra loved her family and loved to watch her grandchildren and great-grandchildren perform. Her happiest times were with her family. She wanted to live long enough to see her great-great-grandchild, but was not able to. She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Say Saints and had a great testimony and strongly believed in priesthood blessings.

Virginia J. Blad

Blain A. Stapley

1944~2019

1978~2019

KANOSH-- Virginia Jean Blackham Blad, 74, Kanosh, UT; passed away April 15, 2019, in Fillmore. She was born Sept. 10, 1944, in Moroni to John Howard and Bertha Jensen Blackham. She married Blaine L. Blad Feb. 14, 1964, in the Manti LDS Temple and lived a full and abundant life in Utah, Minnesota and Nebraska. In September 2018, Virginia was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrigʼs disease) which ultimately robbed her of her muscular mobility but her noble spirit remained strong. To that end, she was instrumental in helping people become closer to Christ amidst her suffering. Virginia had a privileged and happy childhood in Moroni, where she attended elementary and high school. She was known as a good and kind student and was ultimately voted Homecoming queen at North Sanpete High School. Her educational aspirations took her to Provo, where she met the love of her life in the chemistry lab at Brigham Young University. From there, she began her greatest adventure as a devoted wife of 55 years and mother of seven children. Her love for Blaine was one-of-a-kind and she left no doubt of their continued chemistry with weekly dates and constant commentary about his “sexy grey hair” and “deliciousness.” Virginiaʼs love for Blaine was only rivaled by the love for her children whom she considered the jewels of her life. She reveled in motherhood and found true joy in shaping the souls, mending the hearts and forming the character of her children as she raised them in the light and truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. She instilled in her children work ethic, self-reliance and stewardship with family chores, paper routes, canning and community service. She was a fierce advocate for her childrenʼs education with frequent library trips, neighborhood summer schools and parental involvement in school and homework. She was also a second mother to many friends, neighbors and pets who were always welcomed to a heart and home full of love, food, fun and adventure. Virginia was known for her incredible creativity and thriftiness in a day and age before Pinterest and could turn common goods into cherished treasures. She blessed the lives of many including 36 grandchildren and 34 great-grandchildren with her countless quilts, puppets, hot pads, and aprons. She mixed her social life with her social work and never met a person she didnʼt love and serve. She was extremely patient and compassionate with the disadvantaged and downtrodden and always found the good in others. She was patriotic and stressed love of country in 15 years of service as a den mother and scout leader in the Boy Scouts of America and was the proud mother of three Eagle Scouts. She was gracious and wrote thousands of thank you cards and was a quintessential food nurturer. She was a lifelong and faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her greatest legacy will be her family, faith, love of the Book of Mormon and valiant testimony of Jesus Christ. Her life was defined by the gospel of Jesus Christ in character and deed as she infused her testimony and love of others into all that she did and was. She was a woman without guile and a friend to everyone—especially children. She spent countless hours preparing primary and family home evening lessons and her monthly visiting teaching messages. As a result of her simple and pure faith in the Savior and priesthood power—she experienced numerous miracles including the birth of twins. In many ways, Virginia lived an ordinary life but how she lived was truly extraordinary. We note the tender and sweet outpouring of love and concern shown by many friends and family members and give special thanks to the doctors, nurses, administrators, and hospice caregivers at Intermountain Fillmore Hospital for their compassion and care. She is survived by her husband, Blaine. Kanosh; children, Debra (Jim) Lauret, Orem; Sheryl Marlor, Colorado Springs, CO; Colleen (Kurt) Peterson, Pueblo CO; Kenneth (Angela) Blad, Omaha, NE; Stephen (Amy) Blad, Fort Collins, CO; Kirk (Andrea) Blad, Provo; and Kerry (Michael) Dorius, Hurricane. She is also survived by siblings, Lola (Paul) Stevens, Moroni; Doris (Kent) Finlinson, St George; Joyce (Karl) Finlinson, Moroni; and David (Dianne) Blackham, Mt. Pleasant. She was preceded in death by her parents, father- and mother-in-law Carl and Loueda Blad, her oldest brother, Robert Blackham; and son-in-law, David Marlor. Funeral services will be held at 3 p.m., Saturday, April 20 in the Kanosh Church of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Friends may call Friday, April 19 from 6 to 8 p.m., and Saturday from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m., at the church. Interment will be in the Kanosh Cemetery.
