Repurposing railroad, Spike 150 open house set May 10-11 RAY LAFOLLETTE
The Pyramid
MT. PLEASANT — In celebration of the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad 150 years ago with the driving of the golden spike at Promontory, Utah, the public is encouraged to attend an open house May 10 – 11, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., at The Coffee Depot and Track 89 North, at 845 South Highway 89, Mt. Pleasant. There will be treats, souvenir treasures, including Spike 150 pins, mugs, and train whistles for kids. Come celebrate the repurposing of the railroad in Sanpete County. The railroad united the nation and transformed the communities which were connected by a growing network of rails and depots. The Coffee Depot is located in the historic Mt. Pleasant Denver & Rio Grande Depot which was rescued from demolition in 1977 by a group of local citizens who wanted to preserve it and had it moved to its present location. Over the past few months, The Coffee Depot has done extensive remodeling of the old depot and Track 89 North has completed some of the work on what will be a railroad resort providing lodging in remodeled railroad cars. The open house will provide an op-
The public is encouraged to attend the Spike 150 open house celebration to be held May 10-11, from 8 a.m.-8 p.m., at The Coffee Depot and Track 89 North, at 845 south Highway 89, Mt. Pleasant. Attendees will be able to tour a completely remodeled lodging rail car, and see the fully remodeled depot, that is now handicap accessible.

In addition, The Coffee Depot is celebrating the completion of a handicap
ramp which makes the depot accessible to everyone. This project was made possible in part with a grant from Spike 150 and the Utah Department of Heritage and the Arts along with a donation from the owners of Track 89 North.
Track 89 North has been working to repurpose the train cars near the Mt. Pleasant City park from cargo cars to “cabins”. The red box car has been completely remodeled and transformed into a motel/guest room.
During the open house, everyone will be able to walk through both the finished box car as well as the caboose which is nearing completion. Work continues on four other box cars. In addition to providing specialty coffee cafe with espresso-based drinks, smoothies, hot chocolate and fresh, healthy food items, The Coffee Depot also serves as the tourist information center in Mt. Pleasant for travelers along Highway 89. Many communities in Sanpete County have a historic connection to the railroad. In 1893, the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad expanded its line from Chester to Manti, bringing the railroad to Sevier Valley and connecting its existing line with its Valley Line at Thistle Junction via Mt. Pleasant and from Manti to Marysvale. At its peak, the line ferried passengers to Richfield where tour companies would meet the train at Marysvale and take tourists to Bryce Canyon and the Grand Canyon’s North Rim. Over time, use of the railroad waned, and in 1949, D&RGW dropped passenger service in the area. Freight trains still rode the rails until the Thistle mudslide of 1983 shut down the line completely.

Students compare blue whales vs dolphins

SPRING CITY — First grade students at Spring City Elementary recently learned about and compared blue whales to dolphins. Based on the book, “One Day on our Blue Planet... in the Ocean”, by Ella Bailey, Lori Johansen’s class learned the differences in what whales and dolphins eat and drew size comparisons. Object lessons taught students how dolphins vs. blue whales eat. Because dolphins have teeth, students used salad tongs to pick up raisins (representing fish) from a bowl of water. Since blue whales don’t have teeth, but have baleen, the water was sprinkled with dried basil (representing krill). Then a comb (similar to baleen) was used to swipe through the water to catch the krill. The students also used one-inch
graph paper, where one inch equals 10 feet and then drew size comparisons of the blue whale, 80 feet long, and a dolphin, eight feet, on the paper. Then outside on the playground, the students took four-foot lengths of yarn to measure the size of a blue whale and then drew a whale with chalk on the black top. Next they used the yarn and drew dolphins. The class also enjoyed making origami whales, listening to the sounds whales and dolphins make and discussing how animals survive in different environments. Spring City Elementary appreciates Central Utah Water Conservancy District for providing trained teachers regarding the lesson and for donating the book, “The Watering Hole”, by Graeme Base.

Grist stone recalls memories of Fairview’s past TERRY MADSEN
FAIRVIEW — Two old friends, who happen to be descendants of the Cheneys and Bradys in Fairview, decided to take a ride to visit Fairview, site of the first gristmill in Sanpete County. “We came because we wanted to visit our family’s history,” said Cliff Cheney, of Carson City, NV; with his pal and relative, Cleo K. Cheney, who lives in Rexburg, ID. While visiting the grounds of the Fairview Museum of History and Art, the two men noticed the gristmill stone on display on the north side of the buildings. Cleo helped tell the story of how the grinding stone came to be in Fairview along with the memorial to three others by the Peterson Dance Hall. Being Cheneys, both Cliff and Cleo are proud that their great-grandfather Elam Cheney was asked by Brigham Young himself to build the first gristmill in the Sanpete area. To do that, Elam Cheney first had to quarry and shape the stones, then moved his huge family to Fairview, where he used blacksmith skills to shape the iron needed and cut and fitted the wood to be used. It was a huge project, but by 1868, the gristmill was completed, and the water of the Sanpitch River supplied the power to turn the water wheel that moved the grinding stone.

Cleo K. Cheney (on left) and Cliff Cheney drove a long way to hunt down their ancestors’ histories. While visiting the Fairview Museum of History and Art they had a great time entertaining the museum staff with their own stories while sitting by the grist stone created by their great-grandfather Elam Cheney for the first grist mill in Sanpete County. (Photo courtesy of Terry Madsen) Nothing now remains of the original gristmill, except that it is known where it was located at approximately 200 West 300 South, near the Sanpitch River in Fairview. Cliff and Cleo understand that even quality work doesn’t last forever, but they surely had a good time traveling back to their roots and spending some “good ole days”, visiting relatives and sitting by the
gristmill grinding stone. According to Wikipedia, the terms “gristmill” or “corn mill” can refer to any mill that grinds grain, the terms were used historically for a local mill where farmers brought their own grain and received back ground meal or flour. Most communities were dependent on their local mill as bread was a staple part of the diet.
New director of WA technology, engineering selected MT. PLEASANT — In the fall of 2018, just as construction began on the new Engineering and Technology facility at 50 South State Street, Mt. Pleasant, Wasatch Academy (WA) began its search for a candidate to head up the progressive advancement of the school’s technology and engineering program. Dr. Zeb Engberg, current WA Math Department Co-Chair, has been selected to become the new director and will officially step into this new role in August. Turn on the news and it is clear the pace of technology is on the rise. As such, the need for workers who can both maintain and advance technology continues to expand. Recognizing this ever-growing demand, Wasatch Academy is responding through an expansion of its technology and engineering program. The new facility, now under construction, is designed to be the program hub of creativity and innovation and has collaboration baked into every aspect of its design. When Dr. Engberg learned of the opportunity to become the director of the program, he knew he wanted to be involved.

Dr. Zeb Engberg has been selected to become the new director of technology and engineering at Wasatch Academy. (Photo courtesy of Wasatch Academy) “As an educator, I am constantly scanning the world around me for authentic and meaningful problems and projects through which I can engage and empower my students. In engineering, these problems come organically,” said Engberg.
A graduate from Dartmouth in 2014, Engberg believed that he could leave a more meaningful impact by working closely with students. After completing his Ph.D. in number theory, Engberg turned down offers to enter the world of research and joined the faculty at Wasatch Academy. While his deep passion for beautiful abstract mathematics fueled his graduate research, his experience with young idealistic students has brought him back to the motto of his undergraduate institution: To Know Is Not Enough. Engberg states, “I seek to apply my thinking in increasingly interdisciplinary forms. I hope to actualize sustainable positive change within our school and the local community. I choose to challenge the next generation of problem solvers to enact their own solutions to the world’s problems.” In his current role, Engberg works alongside co-chair Emma Chiappetta to morph the traditional paradigm of mathematics education
at Wasatch Academy. The Mathematics Department has pushed against the conventional narrative by emphasizing discovery, individualized learning, project-based learning, and deep authentic problem-solving. Engberg plans to bring his enthusiasm for discovery to his new role as the director of technology and engineering. “While I will always love mathematics, I am excited to bring my passion for creation and problem-solving into a new realm. In high school mathematics, the authentic opportunity to construct new ideas can feel contrived and counterproductive. In engineering, the act of construction happens on the first day.” Engberg plans to work closely with Kurt Quakenbush, technology department head and 3D animation instructor, to support the thriving technology program that currently operates in the Center for Evolving Technologies (CET).

I’ve talked to people recently who have been out in the mountains “shed hunting.” If you don’t know, that means looking for the horns or antlers that have been shed by deer and elk and are lying around on the ground. Between February 1 and April 15, a person has to have an “antler gathering certificate” when hunting for sheds. The certificate is free, but a course has to be taken online with the State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. No certificate is necessary other times of the year. I believe that the activity of shed hunting is growing in Sanpete County and Utah in general. It’s what I call “Antler Worship.” Hunting for the antlers of deer and elk is very popular. There has always been this “Cult of Antlers,” but it seems bigger now than ever. It seems like about every other pick-up truck in the county has some sort of antler decal in the rear window or side window. Okay, maybe not quite that many. But if a story is worth telling, it’s worth exaggerating, right? I did a little research. I pretended that I was going to buy an antler decal for my truck. I Googled “decals of antlers for vehicles” and the computer showed tons of results. Like I said, it’s a big deal. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. We value what we love. And guys and gals in this part of the world love wildlife and hunting. I’ve watched this phenomenon of antler worship grow over my lifetime. This high interest in antlers has me baffled a little bit. I grew up thinking that a deer mount with antlers was just a substitute for a hat rack. We had neighbors that used the antlers of a big buck head mount as just that – a place to hang hats. People have always liked putting up antlers on the garage or other out building. It’s fun for them to show off that they had shot bucks on the hunt at some time or another. Each set of antlers has its own story. Where to hang the deer head or just a set of antlers has been a point of heated arguments between husbands and wives since time began. Adam came home with a four point buck he was proud of and wanted to hang the deer head above the fireplace. Eve wasn’t impressed. The mount ended up being dis-

Holstein steers: large frame 3: 300-400 lbs 62.50-80.00; 400-500 lbs scarce; 500-600 lbs scarce; 600-700 lbs scarce; 700-800 lbs scarce; 800-1000 lbs scarce.

played in the wood shed. I think that story is based on an obscure series of verses in the book of Genesis somewhere. If you really want to see antlers, Jackson Hole, Wyoming is the place to do it. The elk antler arches at the town square are made up of thousands of antlers. I know that in some countries, antlers are ground up and used for the purported purposes of making bigger muscles, easing arthritis and, of course, as an aphrodisiac. Somehow, I think the Food and Drug Administration would have its doubts on any of those health claims. I don’t think God gets too concerned about all of this antler worship that’s going on. I’m thinking of the Ten Commandments now. I think the first commandment is something like, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” I don’t think there’s much to worry about here relative to “antler worship.” We all have interests and hobbies. I think God understands. If it’s not a fantastic “antler shed” found on the mountain and a decal in the window for it, it’s a brand of truck that we put a decal in the window for. (Like it’s not already identified and advertised two or three other places on the vehicle) Some of us worship a sports team and proudly display and advertise the logos and names all over our cars or trucks. Some proudly display the name of their college or university or high school. Others, oddly enough, want people to know which computer platform they use and support. And, of course, political views and parties and candidates are put out there for everyone to see what form our political philosophy takes. I, for one, have felt like the only thing I needed to display on the back of my vehicle was a AAA sticker. I’m not yet motivated to get a decal and join the “Church of the Antlers.” There are already enough members there and the competition for getting a nice hat rack for my garage wall is too keen. I’m thinking though, that I’m going to check to see what decals are available for my favorite brands of ice cream. I want the world to know that Meadow Gold brand Rocky Road and Red Button brand Watermelon Sherbet are my current Ten Commandment “graven image” violations.

Cottam ~ Benjamin Wedding
WALES-- Mark and Miriam Cottam, Wales, announce the marriage of their daughter, Julia Diane Cottam, to Jared Anthony Benjamin, son of Anthony and Annette Benjamin, Farmington, on Saturday, May 4, 2019, in the Payson Utah Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A reception will be held in their honor that evening from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m., at 690 North 400 West, Centerville. The bride is a 2015 graduate of Wasatch Academy and Seminary. She served in the Washington D.C. South Mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and is currently a student at Brigham Young University. The bridegroom graduated from Viewmont High School and Seminary in 2015 and served in The New Zealand Wellington Mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He is also a student at Brigham Young University. The couple will make their first home in Provo.
DIRECTOR From AA2
His focus will primarily be on developing the engineering branch and uniting existing program to create fluid cross-collaboration platforms between various departments. “I have seen the power of design thinking awaken previously disinterested students,” he says, “I hope to expose more students to the engineering design process through our engineering, robotics, and rocketry classes and through our inviting and experimental maker space.” Seeing an enormous opportunity for collaboration potential, Engberg is already excited about opportunities to work with the studio arts department and the sustainability council to create solutions for existing campus obstacles. He envisions the ability to simulate the effects of shifting Wasatch Academy to a single-meter electrical system and analyzing the impacts of installing a solar array on campus. He also hopes to tap into more traditional means of creativity by programming a computer to compose music through a random process. These are just a few of his ideas. “The act of building can strike a chord deep within students who feel unmotivated or unchallenged in core academic disciplines. I’m excited to be working with students in new and creative ways. I’m excited
to share my passion with students and to challenge them in a different context,” said Engberg. Under his direction, students can plan on registering for courses in technology, digital audio, Adobe Photoshop/ Flash, digital video, 3D animation, Adobe Illustrator/After Effects, 3D design/video game design, yearbook, industrial fabrication, robotics, rocketry, and various levels of computer science. Self-motivated students will be given the autonomy to take their ideas and run with them. Students who require significant structure and scaffolding will be mentored as they seek authentic learning experiences and build the confidence to dream bigger. Engberg is already working hard to prep the new facility for classes beginning in September of 2019. Rather than using a traditional classroom model, the new engineering center is designed as a large industrial workspace. The layout is modular and open by design. The center will include a state-of-the-art woodworking shop and maker space. Specific high-tech equipment including a laser cutter, a 3D printer, and a welder will also be available. Engberg eagerly adds, “These sophisticated machines will be used to bring intricate student designs to fruition. Such machinery inspires and empowers students to tinker and create.”
Cody S. Sanders M.D., son of Steve and Candice Sanders, Mt. Pleasant, graduated from the University of Utah School or Medicine May 17, 2019. Dr. Sanders is an alumni of North Sanpete High School, Snow College, and Southern Utah University. He has accepted a residency at Brown University, RI; where he will specialize in neurology. He and his wife, Perla, will make their home in Providence, RI; for the next for four years.
“A 3D printer completely transforms the traditional act of making by allowing for a level of detail and precision previously inaccessible,” he says, “The fact that prototypes can readily be designed and produced will open the doors for student creativity and innovation.” “I want students to feel empowered through their experience designing, prototyping, and building. In addition to our CET, studio arts center, and music conservatory, our engineering center will provide another creative outlet for our students. We hope that our engineering center continues to lower the traditional walls between distinct disciplines and allow for vibrant and authentic student-driven pursuits.”

Lady Hawks defeat Lady Broncos in double header JORI TURPIN
Pyramid Sports
MT. PLEASANT — The Lady Hawks softball team played five games this week as they continued their fight on the way to the state tournament. The long winter has forced the Lady Hawks to reschedule many region games for later in the season which has led to an action packed last few weeks. Last week the Hawks took on Grantsville High School, the defending 3A state champions, at home. North Sanpete fought hard, but was unable to take the victory with a 5-7 loss. However, the Hawks were proud of their performance against the reigning state champions and will continue to work during the next few weeks to compete in the state finals. On Wednesday, the Lady Hawks were at home again, this time facing Emery High School. Previously in the season, the Hawks suffered a loss to Emery and were hungry to defeat the Spartans on their home field. The Hawks definitely proved they were a force to be reckoned with as they crushed Emery in a 14-4 victory. On Thursday, North Sanpete
competed in a double header against the San Juan Broncos. The Lady Hawks again flexed their muscles as they defeated San Juan 11-0 in the first game, and 16-0 in the second. Impressively, the Hawks ended the day with nine homeruns. Senior Aubree Ison hit three. Juniors Nakiah Taylor and Addie Brotherson each hit two, and sophomore Gracie Christensen also hit two. Currently, the Hawks are third in region with a record of 8-4. Head coach Landon Bailey says he’s proud of the season so far stating that, “We have battled through some adversity and I’m proud of the way the girls have continued to work hard.” He also acknowledged that the Hawks purposely tried to play a tougher schedule this season in hopes that it would help them be better prepared for the state tournament. “If we continue to play together and have fun, we should finish the season with a chance to make some noise at state,” Bailey said. The Lady Hawks took on Westlake at home last Tuesday. (Results not available at press time.)
