Memorial Day Weekend This weekend, Memorial Day weekend, marks the semi-official kickoff of the summer season. I hope someone informs Mother Nature about this. She seems to have forgotten that we’d like to feel a few more mild days this time of year, especially on the holiday weekend. Traditionally, Memorial Day weekend is when gas prices have annually gone through the roof – right when we want to drive the most for vacations and visiting friends and relatives. We’re thinking of taking a little road trip soon. So it makes perfect sense that gas prices could go up right now. Sheesh! I recently learned that part of the reason for the increase of gas prices in the summer is because of the changeover to “summer gas.” Fuel is blended differently in the summer to comply with the Clean Air Act. This has been going on since 1990. Some estimate that it costs as much at 15 cents per gallon more to produce fuel for the summer. Refinery issues, OPEC issues, gas tax issues, ethanol issues, and many other issues, all make for more expensive fuel. Anyway, Memorial Day weekend is a terrific time to be in Sanpete. The spring flowers are beautiful. Don’t you just love the fragrance of lilacs in the air? As much as I enjoy the aroma of Sanpete agriculture (turkey ranches, cattle feedlots, etc.), there’s something to be said for a floral scent in the air. The apple blossoms are nice right now as well. (I know some of you are thinking right now, “He enjoys the “aroma of Sanpete agriculture??) My rhubarb is looking good this year. I made a double batch of rhubarb crisp last Sunday. I took some to my 93-year-old neighbor. She was grateful and enjoyed it. I think people who are little more mature are more likely to have an appreciation for rhubarb than — say, some young, silly, immature people in their 50s or 60s. A few years back, there were some folks in Mt. Pleasant who put on a Rhubarb Festival. For now, around here, we’re left to our own devices to be festive about our rhubarb. I still like to just go to the plant and pull a stalk of it out and eat it – salting it, bite by bite. It make my mouth water thinking about it. It transports me in time to my boyhood and my grandparent’s back yard. That’s where my friends and I had a salt shaker and celebrated our own brand of a Rhubarb Festival. I thought that I wasn’t going to have apricots this year, but some of those lbs 115.00-145.00; 600-700 lbs 107.50-138.00; 700-800 lbs 100.00 127.50; 800-900 lbs 95.00-122.00; 900-1300 lbs 80.00-109.00; heiferettes: 71.50-93.00; bred heifers scarce. Stock cows: 62.00-74.00; pairs: 800.00-1285.00. Slaughter cows: boning:
hardy blossoms made it through the visits of “Jack Frost.” I know some people who are disappointed when the apricots don’t freeze. They don’t like the mess of the fallen fruit. As for me, I love apricots fresh as well as drinking the nectar through the winter. With all our storms this year, the mountains of Sanpete are beautiful. I really need to do some botany research to learn the names of the flowers in the hills around here. As my sister would say, the flowers all fall under the general names of “Sidatrailium” and “Sidaroadium” depending on whether you find them on the side of the trail or on the side of the road. The wild grasses are high and lush. The weeds are also high and lush in my yard. It’s great to see so much green in our landscape. This weekend there are the big annual holiday events in Spring City and Ephraim. If you haven’t been in the habit of attending one or the other of these celebrations (or both), maybe this is the year you should see what they’re all about. The Heritage Day in Spring City includes a breakfast, an art and antique sale and a luncheon. Also, one of the big draws there is the home tour. Scandinavian Days in Ephraim has evolved into a large celebration with lots of music, food, dancing, storytelling, games, historical tours, fireworks, and entertainment otherwise. The 10 a.m., parade on Saturday is always fun. I enjoy the Swedish meatballs for lunch even though there are hundreds who line up for the Sanpete barbequed turkey and other offerings. I notice that popular Utah musical artists Ryan Shupe and the RubberBand, Peter Brienholt, and others, will be performing at the festival. The Snow College Commerical Music Ensemble will be performing Saturday afternoon at 2:15 p.m. They’re always fun to see, as are the Phat Old Professors who will be onstage at 4 p.m. on Saturday. You can check the Pyramid’s Summer Recreation Guide which came out a couple of weeks ago for more information on all of the area’s celebrations. Or go online and find detailed information. One last thing on the topic of the holiday, — don’t forget the reason we have Memorial Day. The cemeteries of Sanpete will be beautiful this weekend with flowers and flags as we honor our fallen soldiers as well as our deceased family members and friends. Have a great holiday weekend.

Latter-day Saints can now marry in temples immediately after civil wedding STACY JOHNSON AND GENELLE PUGMIRE
Daily Herald
SALT LAKE CITY — Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who marry civilly outside of the temple can now be married immediately in the church’s temples. The recent announcement changes the church’s policy that couples married outside of the temple have to wait for a year to be sealed inside the temples. The new policy will be implemented worldwide, and has already been in practice in countries throughout the world where couples are required by law to marry civilly first. Couples will still need to obtain a temple recommend from church leaders before entering the temple. “Where possible, leaders should encourage couples to be both married and sealed in the temple,” says a First Presidency letter to Church leaders around the world. “Where a licensed marriage is not permitted in the temple,
or when a temple marriage would cause parents or immediate family members to feel excluded, a civil ceremony followed by a temple sealing is authorized.” The First Presidency also stated, “This change in policy should not be interpreted as lessening the emphasis on the temple sealing. The sealing of a husband and wife in the temple is of eternal significance and a crowning experience on the covenant path.” Those civil ceremonies can take place in the church’s chapels, according to the announcement. It has been just over 100 years since the church said couples who married civilly had to wait a year before being sealed in the temple. According to the Joseph Smith Papers, President Heber J. Grant, then president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, declared in 1918 that there must be a one-year waiting period should a couple choose to be married civilly before being sealed in the temple. Grant said public wedding cele-
brations detracted from the sacredness of the temple sealing. For members outside of the United States, civil marriage is commonly a legal requirement prior to being sealed in an LDS temple. In the Church Handbook 1 under the title “Sealing of Living Members after Civil Marriage” it says that the one year waiting period (prior to Monday’s announcement), “does not apply to worthy couples in the following cases; both the civil marriage and the temple sealing take place in countries that do not recognize a temple marriage and that require a civil marriage.” “Both the civil marriage and the temple sealing take place in countries that do not recognize a temple marriage and that require a civil marriage.” Emily Belshe, Orem, is engaged and said she wishes the church’s announcement had come earlier. “Honestly, planning an entire wedding and making sure that everything is perfect including the sealing and everything like taking pictures out-
side the temple is exhausting,” Belshe said. “There is such a stigma of getting married outside of the temple and it’s full of shame. Like, if you don’t then you must have made a chastity mistake.” Belshe said she has been trying to get her fiancé to elope. “(It) wouldn’t be full of stress, and it would be about us and maybe a couple of family members.” She said, however, that her fiancé won’t budge. Monday’s announcement gave Belshe a new ray of hope about marriage within the church. “If they had made this decision months ago when I first got engaged, I would have planned my wedding completely different,” Belshe said. “My parents are both converts and I would have loved to have had a civil marriage and then a temple sealing so that the entire family could be there, but we are a month out and the invitations and what not have already been sent. I love this decision and am completely for it.” Casey Griffiths, a bishop for
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a Brigham Young University religion professor who specializes in global LDS Church history, said he doesn’t think there will be big changes in the church wedding scene, at least in Utah. “Most couples I know will go (directly) to the temple,” he said. As a bishop he said he didn’t think he would be much busier performing weddings either. However, he is glad for one change: “I’m glad to see church meeting houses can be used.” While weddings have taken place in chapel settings, it is not the norm. Civil weddings are more often held in the building’s Relief Society room or the church cultural hall. The church also said that regardless of whether there is a civil ceremony or not, the temple sealing should “be the central focus of the marriage and provide the spiritual basis on which the couple begins life together.” The church also asks that civil ceremonies be simple and dignified.
Manti Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is one of 162 operating temples worldwide where members of the church can now have their civil marriage sealed immediately, rather than waiting a year before the ceremony is performed, as has been church policy since 1918. New members of the church will still have to wait for one year from the date of their confirmation to be married in the temple and receive a recommend to enter the temple to perform ordinances other than baptisms for the dead.

Expert ways to find peace by staying present LOGAN — It is easy to get caught up in the events of the past or the future. However, doing so only brings worry and causes people to miss out on the present. On the other hand, mindfulness – or focusing on the present moment – leads to better health, lower anxi-
ety and greater resilience to stress. Learning to incorporate the concept of “flow” is one of several ways to increase mindfulness. It is possible for a person to enjoy an activity so much that they did not feel time passing. This intense absorption and involvement in what they were doing in the present moment is called flow, and it is generally
pleasurable and fulfilling. In addition, the enjoyment is usually lasting and reinforcing and provides a natural high that is not accompanied by negative feelings. Although it is easy to experience flow during a person’s favorite activities, they can enjoy this feeling more often during other activities with practice, and experiencing flow will

come more naturally. Consider these five tips: Control attention Try to keep full attention on the task at hand. If the mind tends to wander, bring it back to the present moment. When having a conversation with another person, try to stay completely focused on what they are saying. Be patient with yourself while working to develop the ability to stay focused. Adopt perspectives Try to enjoy life, even if it unfolds differently than what was planned. (Which it often does!) In order to do so, be open to new and different experiences, and be willing to keep learning until the last day of life. Recognize flow Many times, people do not realize that they are having these experiences. In order to create more of these in life, a
person must first recognize when they are happening so they can increase them. Transform tasks During dull, daily tasks, seek to add micro-flow activities to make them more meaningful. For example, while waiting at the doctor’s office, a person could read a book or draw a picture. They could try to make their work more meaningful by viewing it as a calling in life rather than just a job. When brushing teeth, try doing some lunges or squats. When driving, instead of listening to the radio, listen to audiobooks, podcasts or TED talks to learn new ideas. Find balance Find the balance between challenge and skills. Flow experiences occur when people are sufficiently challenged to the point that their skills are stretched, but not so much that the task seems daunting.
Activities that challenge a person’s skills too much result in anxiety, while activities that are not challenging enough result in boredom; herein lies the paradox of flow experiences. The intrinsic rewards of engaging in these kinds of activities can make a person want to keep doing them, yet a person has to continue stretching themselves because their progress will eventually leave them bored during the same experiences that were once exciting. Finding activities that result in flow is exhilarating. Change things up by trying new things. The human brain craves variety and novelty. The key to finding flow is developing a balance between skills and challenges – finding something a person is good at and enjoys, but still stretches them a bit.

Storytelling In the cold, dark winters of old Scandinavia, storytellers were held in high esteem because of their ability to spin tales of adventure, romance, and war providing a welcome diversion from everyday tasks. Eager listeners stared into the flames while images of magical conquests swept through their minds and inflamed their imaginations.

Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox announces 2020 run for governor Lieutenant Governor Spencer tion for governor in 2020, a Cox recently announced he will widely anticipated announceSALT LAKE CITY — Utah’s seek the Republican nomina- ment that positions him as an early front runner. Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox made the campaign announcement via Twitter May 14 in a video that focused on his rural hometown and centrist approach. “It’s no secret that we have some problems in our country right now. We’re more divided than we’ve ever been at any time since the civil war,” he said in the video. Cox told The Associated Press in an interview that he wants to help change that by running a campaign that shifts from large rallies to more small-scale, public-service oriented events. “The political-industrial ERIK OSTLING complex, as I like to call it, Utah’s lieutenant governor says he will seek the Republican nomination for governor in 2020.

negative campaign and now that’s what we do, we tear other people down,” he said. “Campaigns are meant to be a competition of ideas.” Cox entered the state office in October 2013 under Republican Gov. Gary Herbert, and the two won re-election in 2016. Herbert has said he does not plan to seek a third term in office, and wished Cox well in a statement on Tuesday. Cox has carved out a moderate reputation and has occasionally criticized members of his own party, including President Donald Trump. He’s also been an active presence on Twitter, where he shares his love for the Utah Jazz basketball team and asides about Taylor Swift alongside political news and images from official state visits. He’s expected to face com-
petition. Names that have been floated include several fellow Republicans: Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes, former House Speaker Greg Hughes and former governor and current U.S. ambassador to Russia Jon Huntsman Jr., though none have made any formal announcements. In conservative Utah, the GOP nominating contest often decides the ultimate winner of statewide races. Cox said he supports a law Herbert signed banning most abortions after 18 weeks of gestation. “I am unabashedly pro-life,” he said. He also said he supported state leaders’ move to scale back a voter-approved Medicaid expansion, though he also wants to work to reduce health care costs overall. Cox held local political po-
sitions in and around his rural hometown of Fairview and as freshman state lawmaker when Herbert tapped him for the role. He is a lawyer who has worked as vice president and general counsel for the telecommunications company CentraCom. He drew national headlines in 2016 for an emotional speech he gave reacting to the Orlando nightclub massacre that left 49 people dead. He apologized for how he treated kids growing up in his small hometown who he now realizes were gay. This year, Cox had an emotional meeting where he apologized to protesters frustrated about the gutting of a bill to ban gay conversion therapy. He said he’s still working to find a “Utah solution” to protect LGTBQ kids during the next legislative session.
