Sanpete County crash kills three teens STACY JOHNSON
Daily Herald
MT. PLEASANT — Three teens were killed Friday, May 3, when the sedan they were passengers in crashed into the back end of a flatbed truck. According to the Utah Highway Patrol, a white sedan was traveling westbound on Power Plant Road, east of Mt. Pleasant at about 9:20 p.m. The car was driven by a 16-year-old unidentified female. An 18-year-old male was in the front passenger seat and two 16-year-old females were passengers in the back of the car. A flatbed truck, driven by a 16-year-old was traveling at a slow rate of speed in front of the sedan, according to UHP. There was also a 14-year-old passenger in the truck. UHP reports that the flatbed truck was in the path of the sedan as the sedan came over a hill. The driver of the sedan attempted to stop, but was traveling too fast. The sedan rear-ended the truck and burst into flames, UHP reported. The passenger in the front seat of the sedan, identified as 18-year-old Ryan Lyman from Ephraim, and one

Drain water causing resident issues Dear Editor: On the south side of the intersection of 300 West 200 South, Mt. Pleasant; Wasatch Academy has installed a culvert, east to west, across 300 West Street. I assume with the permission of Mt. Pleas-
ant City. This culvert appears to be for the purpose of draining water from Wasatch Academy property. There is no vegetation on the north side of the house located on that southwest corner, so
the drain water is cutting a gully in the soil until it reaches my east property line where there is vegetation. The run off and silt then spreads, runs through until it reaches the gravel in front of my house, where it then forms
a pond. I’m sure this solves a problem for Wasatch Academy, but presents a huge problem for me. Each storm makes it worse. Norm Mower Mt. Pleasant

Snow College 2019 math contest dominated by WA MT. PLEASANT — Wasatch Academy (WA) Math Team has competed in the Snow College Math Contest intermittently for at least 15 years. During the 2019 competition, WA won once again, extending their streak to five years. The WA math team dominated the leaderboard taking nine of the top 10 positions within their division. At this year’s Snow College competition, there were several students whose achievements deserve additional recognition. Wasatch students Nguyen Le, William Wang, Bryan Lyu,

Hongbo Xu, Charlotte Cai, Eric Yang, Karen Liu, Jacqueline Wang, and Hoang Nguyen all simply dominated the tournament, earning nine of the top 10 positions within the team’s division. In particular, math and chess prodigy Nguyen Le attained a nearly perfectly score — he only missed one question out of 40! Dr. Engberg is especially proud of the commitment and progress of William Wang at the Snow College Math Contest. Wang came to Wasatch Academy mid-way through his freshman year and the 2016 Snow College contest was his first taste of math competition. Even four years ago, Wang prepared fiercely for the contest and was the overall winner among ninth graders. Since then, he has continued to push himself within the WA math team. Though Wang experienced tremendous growth throughout his sophomore and junior years, he did not always attain the success he had envisioned. Dr. Engberg was thrilled that Wang remained encouraged and let his love of problem-solving drive his pursuits. Wang placed third among all 10th through 12th-grade students this year. Engberg is proud of Wang’s development at Wasatch and his leadership on the WA math team. Dr. Zeb Engberg has served as coach of the Wasatch Academy Math Team for the past five years. He has come to appreciate the diversity and style of problems the students encounter at various contests and notes that the purpose of a math contest is to make students think deeply. The math problems to be solved at Snow College have a distinctive and unique flavor.
Wasatch Academy Math Team members recently dominated the leaderboard by taking nine of the top 10 positions within their division during the 2019 Snow College Math Contest. (Photo courtesy of Wasatch Academy) While all math contests aim to emphasize creativity and critical thinking, the writers of the Snow College exam include their own thumbprint. Studying higher mathematics, one often works through very abstract concepts to arrive at a single beautiful theorem or idea. The writers of the Snow exam provide glimpses into these higher mathematical discoveries through the problems they pose. According to Engberg, the competition problems inspire his students and stimulate indepth conversations after the math contest has ended. The Snow College Math Contest does succeed in making students think deeply and also generates significant enthusiasm for mathematics. Although Dr. Engberg is a coach rather than a participant, his favorite aspect of math team competition is engaging in the tremendous amount of learning that occurs while problem-solving. Instead of giving his students a lesson on various techniques they might encounter on the exam, the team prepares by working through the problems of previous tests. This year, Engberg and the math team met at lunch daily to exercise their brains in that way. Engberg likes to think of himself more as a collaborator with his students than as a coach. He sits alongside them as the members think and unpack ideas. He encourages them to take risks, and he dives into the messy calculations with them. Just like his students, Engberg has a love of problem-solving and he aims to model the
creativity, determination, and deep thinking needed to solve hard problems. The amount of thinking encapsulated within a single interesting math problem is awe-inspiring for himself and he hopes to instill this excitement into his students as well. Other math team updates: Earlier this year in March, Nguyen Le, Eric Yang, Rena Shen, Arthur Zheng, Hoang Nguyen, Bryan Lyu and Angel Nguyen competed in the Utah State Math Contest. Nguyen Le placed third out of roughly 250 students and received recognition at an awards banquet for his performance. Up for another mathematical challenge over spring break, Nguyen Le also competed in the American Invitational Mathematics Examination, which is a prestigious and difficult contest.

Remembering Mothers Mother’s Day is coming up this Sunday. Are you ready? I have started my preparations. I’m in the “think preparation” mode for Mother’s Day. Remember the “think method” of learning to play a musical instrument in the movie “The Music Man?” I’m thinking that I’ll be getting my wife a card for one thing. I looked at cards the other day, but didn’t buy one. I saw one that amused me. On the front, it read, “To My Mother, Who is a Saint.” On the inside, was printed, “From your Kid, Who Ain’t” Another card that is memorable: “A Mother’s Intuition is always right…” Then the inside of the card says, “Unless you were feeling like you were getting more than a card for Mother’s Day” It does take some thought to prepare for this special day. Of course, your need for preparation is determined by what your status is in relationship to mothers. Some people have mothers to remember in more than one situation or generation. Some men have living mothers, a wife who is a mother, a mother-in-law, and daughters who are mothers as well. My own status at this point is being the grown-up (some will dispute that) son of a deceased mother and husband of the mother of my children. I also have a daughter who is a mother. Of course we all have friends and other relatives who are mothers. Some of us have special relationships with women who we consider to be “mothers” to us even though there’s no official family connection. I believe that everyone has someone to remember on Mother’s Day. We obviously all got here by way of a mother. There may be a few who don’t have personal recollections of a mother because of circumstances of death or separation for one reason or another. But this Sunday, for the most part, I believe we all can honor mothers regardless of our circumstances, in some way. Having lost my mother some years ago, I have been thinking that I should be doing more to honor her memory by keeping her life familiar with my children, and with me for that matter. The years go by and events, words and deeds tend to fade in memory. It’s like remembering the pages and chapters of a book read long ago. Fortunately, in remembering my mom, I have some

pictures, videos, and written remembrances otherwise that make for a “book” that can be “re-read.” It’s important to compile information on our families so as to provide our children with an understanding of their origins. It creates a connection that becomes important at some point in most people’s lives. There are still memories of my mother which I should write down. It’s too easy to put off these things. Forgive me, but in the spirit of “there’s no time like the present,” I’m going to end my procrastination right now. My mother, Florence Ogden, lived to be 80-yearsold. She spent the last few months of her life in the rest home in Mayfield in the final stages of Alzheimer’s disease. (The “long goodbye” as they call it.) She was a gentle soul and a terrific mom. She was from Downey, ID. Mom met dad at a dance at Utah State University. She graduated as a home economics teacher and insisted that she teach one year before getting married. Dad went along with this goal she had. (What choice did he have?) She got a teaching position in Snowflake, AZ; and completed her goal. She and dad were married in 1938 and got jobs in Alaska where they started their family and spent several years. As I think of mom, I remember several repetitious admonitions that she had for me as a kid. I’ll share a couple of them. The first one is appropriate right now as it is baseball related. She would often say, “Come on Merrill, you’ve got to hit the ball.” This command was used metaphorically in every situation imaginable ranging from getting my farm chores done to doing school homework to – well, everything. Everything that is, except baseball. Ironic, isn’t it? I don’t ever remember her saying “hit the ball” when I was a kid at a baseball game. The other thing mom told me that I want to mention here is, “You’re just as good as anybody else.” Kids need to learn that concept. Embodied in that notion is the good old American “all men are created equal” philosophy. Don’t let anyone put you down and remember not to put anyone else down either. Moms are the best teachers kids will ever have. Their influence is immeasurable and indelible.

MT. PLEASANT — Since its creation more than 50 years ago, the long-standing tradition of International Day at Wasatch Academy (WA) continues to embrace diversity and celebrate the many world cultures represented within the school community. This year’s theme “We All Smile in the Same Language” brought everyone together to recognize similarities within the diversity. Currently representing 37 countries and 35 of the United States of America, Wasatch Academy’s International Day has evolved in scale to be several days of celebration, something not done in the 1950s. Since the original creation of International Day, the tradition has surged forward, but with many modifications and additions. The festivities now include an interactive Gallery Walk where students represent various countries and territories and share how cultural influences and political climates affect the country. International Day also includes art exhibits, cultural performances, and a fashion show. “It’s an integral part of Wasatch Academy’s identity now,” said Head of School Joseph Loftin. “Now, it’s a legacy that keeps growing, and the creativity these young people display every year remains fantastic.” The festivities began April 13 with a wide range of culinary flavors represented during the International Food Court. Patrons enjoyed meals created
International Day has been celebrated at Wasatch Academy for over 50 years. The festivities have grown to include inhabitants, food, fashion, art, music, activities and cultural diversity from 37 countries and 35 states. (Photo courtesy of Wasatch Academy) and prepared by students from Japan, India, Africa, Afghanistan, USA, China, Mexico and more. On April 17, International Day was enjoyed by the entire community and was a welcome relief from the classroom. The Opening Ceremonies are modeled after the Olympics, with respective national flags paraded through the Tiger’s Den by student representatives. The promenade invites the Wasatch Academy community to gain a profound appreciation of where their fellow classmates are originally from. “This is my first (International Day) and its super fun,” said junior Max A. “The diversity is amazing. I like that I can celebrate with my friends from all over the world and learn more about their lives, both here (in America) and in their country.” Furthering the global impact of International Day, alum
and honored keynote speaker Yousef Bashir spoke to the Wasatch Academy community about how to overcome adversity, stand for what you believe in, and always find the best in every situation encountered. Bashir is a Palestinian-American from the Gaza Strip, the son of Khalil Bashir, a highly respected educator. Still suffering the effects of a near catastrophic injury at the hands of an anonymous IDF soldier, Yousef Bashir made his way to the United States where he attended Wasatch Academy. He then went on to earn a BA in International Affairs from Northeastern University and an MA in Co-existence and Conflict from Brandeis University. Now living in Washington DC, Bashir has worked on Capitol Hill and served as a member of the Palestinian Diplomatic Delegation to the United States. Bashir is an accomplished
author, a vigorous advocate of Israeli-Palestinian peace, and much sought-after public speaker. The festivities concluded with several hands-on cultural activities including henna tattoos, origami and traditional calligraphy. Cheri Crosby, the lead organizer of International Day, states, “So much preparation and involvement goes into creating this event. It’s special seeing staff, faculty and students of diverse backgrounds working together.” International Day is an excellent representation of the Wasatch Academy global community that is built on kindness, dignity, and respect for all.

of differentiating instruction. It’s not that teachers don’t want to do it—they know students learn at different rates, that some need more help and others could be moving much more quickly. The problem for many is figuring out how to manage it. How does a teacher run a classroom where each student is working on a different thing at a different speed? For the Wasatch Academy (WA) Math Department, this riddle has been solved by allowing students to move at a pace appropriate for them. This approach to learning differs from the traditional teacher-led, whole-class lesson in that it allows students to use materials and resources to customize the way they learn in class. Although there is a minimum pace that must be maintained to finish the course by the end of the school year, allowing students to move at an appropriate pace provides them the opportunity to design their own learning experience, not only at their own pace but according to their own interests and learning styles. The role of the instructor is to provide guidance, feedback on proficiency, and tailor the learning environment to students based on their needs. WA Co-Chair of the Math Department Emma Chiappetta states, “Students are generally nervous at first. They are used to being taught in a lecture format so they might be resistant to watching videos or looking things up themselves.” “However,” she says, “once they see that an individualized classroom allows them to spend more time on the topics that are challenging to them and breeze through topics that they already know, they embrace the different environment.” This new approach to learning has already seen great success. Students that would generally be slowly moving through an Algebra 1 class throughout an entire academic year are now able to complete
Wasatch Academy Math Department Co-Chair Emma Chiappetta (on right) notes that students are used to being taught in a lecture format, but once they understand the benefits of an individualized classroom the students feel empowered with the ability to control the pace of their own learning. (Photo courtesy of Wasatch Academy) and show proficiency in a particular math field and move into the next course such as Geometry. Further, should students find themselves struggling with specific math concepts, they are allowed to spend additional time to fully understand those
concepts. “Students feel empowered when they can control the pace of their own learning. I have been able to push students further than they would have expected for themselves and I have also been able to individualize my attention with
students that are struggling,” Chiappetta adds. WA junior Grace Nied said, “I have really found my strengths in math since doing this program. I no longer worry about being lost or feeling like I can’t get help. It has made me much more confident in my studies.”

Founders Day: Wasatch Academy celebrates 144 years
Dr. J. Dianne Brederson leads the Wasatch Academy Teacher Training Program. (Photo courtesy of Wasatch Academy)
WA recognized as a Utah Best of State for tenth year MT. PLEASANT — An acknowledged leader in the field of education, Wasatch Academy (WA) has been recognized once again as a “Best of State” in Utah, making this the tenth consecutive year to receive such honors, 2010-19. WA received two distinguished awards this year: one for the equestrian sports program and the other for the teacher training initiative spearheaded by Dr. J. Dianne Brederson, assistant head of school for academics. The teacher training award honors Dr. Brederson as a brilliant expert in pedagogy and a proven leader in the educational field who answers to the challenge of guiding educators at Wasatch Academy in teacher training and who succeeds in awakening in them a true passion for teaching and learning. In her many years of leading graduate studies in education throughout the country, Brederson was a top-ranked professor highly esteemed by students and colleagues alike, seemingly effortlessly outpacing her peers in teaching the most challenging courses
in advanced pedagogy to undergraduates and graduate students seeking professional certification in the field. “At Wasatch Academy, we see ourselves as leaders in the educational community — constantly pushing education forward by trying innovative approaches,” states WA Curriculum Manager Emma Chiappetta, “We would not be able to achieve these goals without the experience, knowledge, guidance, and leadership of Dr. J. Dianne Brederson.” “Over the past two years, Brederson has designed and implemented one of the most comprehensive and intense professional development programs that Wasatch Academy has ever seen,” says Chiappetta, “I feel like I have the opportunity to attend graduate school for teaching right here on my own campus.” These prestigious awards celebrate and demonstrate the dedication of Wasatch Academy to being an institution of excellence. An institution dedicated and designed with the student, teacher, and staff in mind.
MT. PLEASANT — Founder’s Day, April 20, 2019, marked the 144th anniversary of the founding of Wasatch Academy (WA). Annually, the weekend brings together alumni and welcomes the current WA senior class into the alumni association. This year, the Founder’s Day weekend kicked off on Friday, April 19, in Salt Lake City with a welcome dinner at Little America Hotel. The evening brought together alumni ranging from the class of 1954 to the class of 2012. Bill Hickey, class of ’54, was the honored guest speaker. He shared how his time playing football at Wasatch Academy set him up for a lifelong career as a football coach at the collegiate level. Hickey offered an Irish blessing and finished his speech with a rousing GO TIGERS! Head of School Joe Loftin also spoke and shared his enthusiasm for the future of Wasatch Academy with the nearly 60 alumni and guests who gathered to reminisce and share stories. On Saturday, Founder’s Day, the celebration moved to Mt. Pleasant with over 50 alumni on campus. The morning began with a lecture in Liberal Hall, 67 West Main, (the original Wasatch Academy school house) by Dr. Joel Barnes. Current student Arthur Zheng also spoke about the sustainability initiatives that are moving WA towards becoming a net-zero campus. Zheng shared his passion for nature as he talked about mapping out flora and fauna on campus. After the lecture, alumni had a chance to catch up during brunch sharing stories of where they are today and remembering their time at Wasatch Academy. Two themes quickly emerged during the weekend: service and family. After lunch, alumni planted a tree on the west side of the Tiger’s Den in honor of Earth Day. The day was highlighted by the FoundB:10.8” er’s Day Ceremony. Sophomore T:10.8” and pia-

Seniors, Miu Someya and Frankie Sobel both spoke about their time at Wasatch Academy and how the school is more than a school but is home. In many ways, the entire ceremony was a homecoming. Donna Glidewell, class of ’51, was honored this year as the WA Distinguished Alumna for her years of service and her unwavering dedication to preserving the history of Wasatch Academy. After receiving her award, Donna spoke about WA as her home and why she recently moved back to the area. “Wasatch Academy is a family. I know here that I will be taken care of. This is my home.” said Donna as her voice cracked with emotion. Her words were powerful and continued the weekend theme of home. Students Joe McDaniel and Jesse Strayer delighted the audience with their rendition of Soul to Squeeze by the Red Hot Chili Peppers before members of the classes of 1969 and 1970 sang the Wasatch Academy Loyalty Song for the
crowd. For many in the crowd, it brought back memories of pep rallies and morning chapel. All the alumni were honored when they were called to stand and receive carnations from members of the senior class. Next Rokiatou Diop and Jacopo Warnking read the names of members of the 2019 class as they were presented with roses and inducted into the Wasatch Academy Alumni Association. After the ceremony, alumni congratulated the seniors before sharing a semi-formal dinner served by the class of 2020 in the dining hall. After dinner, alumni gathered in the Craighead Auditorium for a night of socializing to cap off the weekend. Many kept looking over their shoulders during the cocktail party waiting for a teacher to scold them for drinking in the auditorium, then had a laugh about it. The night rekindled old memories and created new ones. Overall, over 70 alumni and guests gathered to celebrate 144 years of Wasatch Academy this Founder’s Day.

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