Flag folding 101 Editor’s note: Memorial Day, first known as Decoration Day, was first observed after the Civil War honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Memorial Day became an official holiday in 1971. The following article tells the significance of folding the flag at military funerals.

Do you know that at military funerals, the 21-gun salute stands for the sum of the numbers in the year 1776?

Have you ever noticed that the honor guard pays meticulous attention to correctly folding the United States of America flag 13 times? You probably thought it was to symbolize the original 13 colonies, but we learn something new every day! The first fold of the flag is a symbol of life. The second fold is a symbol of the belief in eternal life.

The third fold is made in honor and remembrance of the

veterans departing the ranks who gave a portion of their lives for the defense of the country to attain peace throughout the world.

The fourth fold represents the weaker nature, for as American citizens trusting in God, it is to Him we turn in times of peace as well as in time of war for His divine guidance.

The fifth fold is a tribute to the country, for in the words of Stephen Decatur, ‘Our Country, in dealing with other countries, may she always be right; but it is still our country, right or wrong.’

The sixth fold is for where people’s hearts lie. It is with their heart that they pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.

The seventh fold is a tribute to its Armed Forces, for it is

T H E

through the Armed Forces that they protect their country and their flag against all her enemies, whether they be found within or without the boundaries of their republic.

The eighth fold is a tribute to the one who entered into the valley of the shadow of death, that we might see the light of day.

The ninth fold is a tribute to womanhood, and Mothers. For it has been through their faith, their love, loyalty and devotion that the character of the men and women who have made this country great has been molded.

The tenth fold is a tribute to the father, for he, too, has given his sons and daughters for the defense of their country since they were first born.

The eleventh fold represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon and glorifies in the Hebrews eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

The twelfth fold represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in the Christians eyes, God the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit.

The thirteenth fold, or when the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost reminding them of their Nations motto, ‘In God We Trust.’

After the flag is completely folded and tucked in, it takes on the appearance of a cocked hat, ever reminding us of the soldiers who served under General George Washington, and the Sailors and Marines who served under Captain John Paul Jones, who were followed by their comrades and shipmates in the Armed Forces of the United States, preserving for them the rights, privileges and freedoms they enjoy today.

There are some traditions and ways of doing things that have deep meaning. In the future, when you see flags folded, now you will know why.

Lilacs, Memorial Day It’s lilac time again in Sanpete The fragrant blossoms are out and I love smelling them. I’m glad I don’t have allergies for lilacs because I like putting my nose right close and breathing in the fragrance.

Some of us complain about the smells of Sanpete. It’s easy to only notice the odors of the turkey farms; cattle feed lots, and skunks. But there are times of the year, like now, when we should pause and take a whiff of the beautifully fragrant air. Apple blossoms and lilacs, it’s hard to beat.

Back in the “olden days” of my youth, it was common to see lilac blooms cut and used for decorating graves on what was then called Decoration Day. What flowers you saw in the cemetery on Memorial Day were largely dependent on how the spring season had progressed.

Home cut lilacs; iris, peonies and poppies were commonly arranged and placed on the graves of loved ones.

I don’t know the history of silk flowers. But, I do know that they weren’t prevalent in my youth. People did sometimes use plastic flowers for decorating graves. My mom didn’t care for them. I sometimes quote her and you may have heard it here, “I’d rather have a live stinkweed on my grave than a plastic flower.”

The holiday of Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, goes back to the honoring of the war dead from the Civil War. It continues as a day to pay tribute to our fallen soldiers from many wars and conflicts.

We also, of course, remember our family and friends otherwise who have gone on before us.

My older brother, Brent, was born on May 30th, which was the fixed date for Decoration Day. So, at our house, Decoration Day was a doubly important day. In 1967, Memorial Day was declared the official name of the holiday. Like many other holidays, Memorial Day was changed to a “Monday holiday” which shifts dates each year.

As a result, Brent lost the status of the holiday falling on his birthday each year.

He died way too young (57) and is buried in our family’s hometown cemetery in Richfield.

Some people aren’t comfortable in cemeteries. I’ve wondered why that is the case. Perhaps the “resting place” reminds them too much of the loss of their loved ones and their own mortality.

Maybe they’ve seen and

been affected by too many scary movies that use graveyard suspense and drama.

Michael Jackson’s video “Thriller” may be on their minds – who knows?

I’m grateful for parents and relatives who had me help, in a child’s way, with the gathering and arranging of flowers for the family graves on Decoration Day. It was a time to hear family stories of ancestors buried in the cemetery. I believe that those Memorial Day experiences were strong influences on me.

I don’t ever remember not having a good feeling about cemeteries. We have pictures of my dad lying down on his cemetery plot a few years before he died, “trying it out” for size, I guess.

This weekend, Sanpete, along with the rest of the country, has the opportunity to decorate graves and to teach children. Take the kids and grandchildren with you to the cemetery and decorate the graves of family and friends who have passed on.

Tell them about the people whose names are on the stones. You may perpetuate and create memories that will be more important than you realize.

Changing subjects: don’t forget Spring City Heritage Day and the Scandinavian Festival in Ephraim this holiday weekend. These are terrific Sanpete celebrations and are great fun. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and attend one or both of these events.

I love our Scandinavian heritage here. Though my actual ancestry is mostly from the United Kingdom, I have reason to adopt Norway as my second “old country” having spent two years of my life there.

There are many Scandinavian jokes and humorous stories. While in Norway, I heard many at the expense of the Swedes. I know there are many jokes told on the Norwegians as well. The Danes and Finns get their share too.

Since most of this column as been pretty serious (boring?), here’s perhaps a smile at the end. It’s an Ole and Lena moment. Ole and Lena could be of any Scandinavian nationality.

Ole and Lena were getting on in years. Ole was 92 and Lena was 89. One evening they were sitting on the porch in their rocking chairs.

Ole reached over and patted Lena on her knee. “Lena, vat ever happened to our sex relations?,” he asked. “Vell, Ole, I yust don’t know,” replied Lena. “I don’t tink vee even got a card from dem last Christmas.”

FAIRVIEW — Emily Church, 11, daughter of Carole and Brandon Church, Fairview, wrote and illustrated a winning story for the PBS Kids Annual Writers and Illustrators contest held earlier this year.

The story titled, “Bill the Dollar Bill,” received second place award in the fifth grade division.

Her story was one of 260 submissions received for the statewide contest.

Emily, accompanied by her grandma, mom, dad and sister, received the award during a breakfast and ceremony held at the Natural History Museum of Utah, in Salt Lake City May 12.

Each winner received a generous gift bag with tickets to museums, zoos and sporting events near Salt Lake City as well as writing and illustrating materials and other fun prizes.

After the award ceremony, the winners, along with their guests, were invited to spend the morning at the Natural History Museum of Utah on the University of Utah campus.

Emily is said to have a great imagination and has always loved to write. Her story, “Bill the Dollar Bill,” is a heartwarming story about a dollar bill that was born/printed in the basement of the white house along with all the other dollar bills.

When he was printed he was mistakenly printed as a seven-dollar bill instead of a one-dollar bill. Bill always thought he was strange because the other dollar bills treated him like he was odd and not as perfectly printed as they were.

Near the end of the story, Bill realizes he is special and ends up on display in a museum because of his unique and rare printing. Emily’s illustrations are incredibly detailed and quite humorous. She worked on her submission for months.

The story submissions had several specific and grade-based requirements and were open

Emily Church wrote and illustrated a story “Bill the Dollar Bill,” and won second place in the fifth grade division of the PBS Kids Annual Writers and Illustrators contest held this spring. to all Utah students from kindergarten through sixth grade. The fifth grade entries were limited to 500 words and required multiple illustrations. Each story had to be written and illustrated by the student themselves without adult input or correction.

All the winning stories for 2018 can be viewed on the KUED website at https://www.kued. org/kids/2018-writers-and-illustrators-contest-winners. The winning entries will also be on display in the Salt Lake City Public Library as large banners and in other areas throughout the state.

Randy J. Allen 1951~2018 MT. PLEASANT-Randy Joe Allen passed away May 10, 2018, in Mt. Pleasant, Utah.

Randy was born on Feb. 19, 1951, in Mt. Pleasant to Doyce Clair Allen and Lilly Mae Tucker.

Growing up, Randy loved his pets, being with family, and playing football and baseball.

On Jan. 21, 1968, Randy was sledding with some friends when he struck an embankment and broke his neck. He spent a lot of time recovering in the hospital, where he met his dear friend, Cal Johnson.

Though he became paralyzed, he defied the odds and was able to walk for a time with crutches and regained limited use of his hands and upper body. He also had two sons, Benjamin Thomas Allen and Tyler Joe Allen.

Randy spent his career working for Xerox in California and Salt Lake City. He loved being outside with nature.

He loved to feed the deer and birds.

He loved pets and had several dogs, cats, and a bird over the years. He had a green thumb; his house was filled with plants and his deck was covered with flowers and tomato plants.

Randy enjoyed working on cars (he owned a couple of AMXs and a VW Beetle) and driving fast.

He loved listening to loud music of all genres, but oldies were his favorite. He enjoyed having fires in the fireplace in his garage and visiting with friends and family.

Randy is finally free from the body that trapped him for 50 years. We will miss his humor, his crazy facial expressions, his tight hugs, the nicknames he called us, and his love.

Randy is survived by his sons, Ben (Erin) Allen and Tyler Allen; his grandchildren: Hanna, Beck, and Nixon Allen; his siblings: Mike (Jeanne) Allen, Debbie (Mont) Larsen, and Connie (Kevin) Blanchard; and countless extended family members and friends.

North Sanpete School District completes largest Blue Sky project MORONI — North Sanpete Middle School just completed the largest Blue Sky renewable energy project in over a decade, which will meet 80 percent of the school’s energy needs.

A presentation was recently held at the middle school that included Sanpete County Commissioners, North Sanpete School Board members, Blue Sky customers, Rocky Mountain Power officials and members of the community.

The project includes a 206-kilowatt solar array, an electric vehicle charging station and a battery energy storage system, which will be charged using excess solar power during the day and meet the school’s critical power needs for up to three days during an emergency event.

Blue Sky customers provided the school with a $576,224 grant that made the solar project at the middle school possible. The grant funds were also leveraged to enable a qualified zone academy bond that allowed for additional energy-saving measures.

“This development is not only an energy cost savings measure, but it incorporates technology as part of the STEM and Career and Technical Educational opportunities for our students,” said Sam Ray, superintendent of North Sanpete School District. “This project moves our students to the cutting edge of technology and renewable energy.”

The school is leading the way locally in renewable energy, while being the first Blue Sky project to incorporate a battery storage element.

However, the North Sanpete School District has been championing renewable energy and technology for years. District schools already have some small solar panels. The middle school and high school have extracurricular “Greenpower” electric car teams where students work on electric cars for sanctioned competitions. The school district also plans to add courses to teach students how to install and test solar panels.

“We’re excited to work with the North Sanpete School District and Rocky Mountain Power to help address the district’s energy efficiency needs, while also playing a part in the district’s sustainable education and career development program,” said Craig Banaszewski, zone vice president for Siemens Building Technologies Division, who was the contractor for the project.

“This is an exciting project that will provide education value for students and the community about how the latest technology can be used to promote clean energy,” said Bill Comeau, Rocky Mountain Power’s director of customer innovation. “We are grateful to Blue Sky customers who make innovative projects like this possible in our communities.”

Since 2006, Rocky Mountain

North Sanpete Middle School was a recipient of a $576,224 grant that enabled the school to complete the largest Blue Sky renewable energy project in over a decade. The school partnered with Rocky Mountain Power.

Power’s Blue Sky customers have voluntarily supported wind and solar energy generation in the region. Blue Sky has provided more than $10 million in funding to community-based renewable energy projects.

About Blue Sky Blue Sky provides an easy and convenient way for customers to support the development of renewable energy resources in the western United States and in their state. Blue

Sky renewable energy is separate from, and in addition to, what Rocky Mountain Power buys or generates to serve its customers. The program is Green-e Energy certified by the nonprofit Center for Resource Solutions. Rocky Mountain Power currently has more than 50,000 Blue Sky customers throughout Wyoming, Idaho and Utah.

DUP field day features pioneer activities ANNETTE HANSEN

MT. PLEASANT — Daughters of the Utah Pioneers (DUP) recently sponsored a field day for the fourth graders in the North Sanpete School District to involve the students in pioneer activities to learn about their heritage.

Activities included playing games, singing, making butter, visiting a blacksmith shop and investigating many of the artifacts in the Mt. Pleasant Pioneer Museum.

Peter Hafen demonstrated the operations of a blacksmith shop with a fire to heat metal that was then hammered into

shape on an anvil.

The ladies in the museum did a great job instilling interest and information on the many exhibits that tell of Mt. Pleasant’s past inhabitants.

The students had to search for various artifacts and information in the Relic Home Museum.

The making of butter was demonstrated by shaking cream in a jar, of course everyone got to try the finished butter which had been made.

It was said to be “tasty.”

About Public Arts The Public Art Program was created by the Utah State Legislature in 1985 with the passage of the Percent-for-Art-Act. This statute allows for one percent of construction costs for new or remodeled state facilities to be added to the project for

the commissioning or acquisition of art that is site specific to the facility and community.

To date, over 230 works have been placed in State facilities statewide.

Report shows impact of intimate partner violence SALT LAKE CITY — A recent report from the Utah Department of Health (UDOH) shows that intimate partner violence (IPV) affected 18.1 percent of adult females and 10 percent of adult males in 2016 in Utah. In addition, IPV is often linked to childhood trauma as well as a number of negative health outcomes later in life.

“Intimate partner violence is any violence that occurs between two people in a close relationship; it is not limited to physical violence alone. IPV can include sexual violence, stalking, and psychological aggression.”

“It can be committed by current or former intimate partners, and can occur both in-person or electronically, via mobile devices and social media platforms,” said Megan Waters, spokesperson with the UDOH Violence and Injury Prevention Program.

Intimate partner violence is often linked to stressful or traumatic childhood experiences. Known as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), they include sexual abuse, physical abuse, neglect, emotional abuse, IPV in the home, substance misuse in the home, having someone living in the home with a mental illness, parental separation or divorce, or having an incarcerated household member.

Each type of trauma that a person experiences before the

Less than 15 percent of Utahns who have experienced intimate partner violence reached out for help, according to a recent report released by the Utah Department of Health, even though help is available by calling the Utah Domestic Violence Link Line at 1-800-897-LINK (5465) or the Utah Rape and Sexual Assault Crisis Line at 1-888-421-1100. age of 18 counts as one ACE. A higher number of ACEs correlates to a higher likelihood of experiencing or perpetrating IPV later in life.

UDOH data showed that among adults who have ever experienced IPV, almost half, 49.8 percent, reported four or more ACEs, compared with 13.3 percent of adults who have never experienced IPV. In addition, 40.3 percent of Utah adults who have never experienced IPV reported they also never experienced an ACE. “Trauma during childhood is significantly linked to health issues later in life. Of course, there are the direct physical effects of IPV, such as bruises, broken bones, traumatic brain

injuries, or tragically, death in some cases; but IPV has also been linked to asthma, cardiovascular disease, unintended pregnancy, and suicidal behavior.” said Waters.

Utahns who experienced IPV had a statistically higher prevalence of being a current every day smoker, 13.3 percent vs. 3.9 percent, and binge drinking, 19.7 percent vs. 10.9 percent, than those who did not experience IPV. IPV was also correlated with poorer health, missing more days of work, difficulty doing errands alone, and difficulty concentrating or remembering.

“The data is telling us that IPV is an issue impacting many facets of a person’s

health. It’s critical that we work to prevent gender-based violence early on so that people can lead healthier and safer lives,” said Waters.

Other findings from the UDOH report showed the following: IPV disproportionately affects low-income households, females, and adults who were divorced, separated, or unemployed.

Among Utahns who experienced IPV, 26.1 percent of those aged 18-34 experienced IPV in the past 12 months, compared with 10.1 percent of adults aged 35-49, and 3.9 percent of adults aged 50 and older.

Less than 15 percent of Utahns who experienced IPV reached out for help.

The most commonly reported reasons for not seeking help include believing the abuse will stop, believing the person who physically hurt them will find out that they disclosed the abuse, not wanting help, or believing their children would be taken away from them.

If anyone knows someone who has experienced IPV, help is available by calling the Utah Domestic Violence Link Line at 1-800-897-LINK (5465) or the Utah Rape and Sexual Assault Crisis Line at 1-888421-1100.

Balloons can be fun and bring excitement to an event, but they can also be an electrical hazard, cause injury and power outages. Rocky Mountain Power encourages safe use of metallic coated Mylar balloons and offers safety tips.

Keep celebrations festive, safe with metallic balloons SALT LAKE CITY — Birthdays, graduations and other celebrations are often made more festive with balloon decorations. Rocky Mountain Power (RMP) is reminding customers that, while festive, the metallic coated Mylar balloons can be dangerous around electricity.

Mylar balloons conduct electricity very well and can cause power outages and injury if mishandled. If these balloons get into power lines, the result can be the loss of electricity to homes, businesses, traffic lights and other services. They can also cause sparks and arcing that could result in fires.

“Last year 32 outages were caused by stray metallic balloons getting into Rocky Mountain Power’s electrical infrastructure,” said Tom Davis, safety director. “Properly securing or weighting metallic balloons could have avoided the disruption of service to these customers and additional safety concerns throughout the area.”

Mylar balloons should be kept secured at all times and never released to float through the air. Even if they miss power lines going up, these balloons have been known to stay aloft for several days before losing their helium and falling back to earth – still with the potential to fall into power lines

and electrical equipment on the way down.

The following safety tips will help keep celebrations safe when using metallic-based balloons: 1. Always attach weights to Mylar balloons and do not remove them.

2. When possible, keep metallic balloons indoors.

3. Never release Mylar balloons into the air.

4. Do not bundle metallic balloons together.

5. Never tie a Mylar balloon to the arm of a child.

6. If any type of balloon, kite or toy becomes caught in power lines, leave it alone and call Rocky Mountain Power at 1-888-221-7070 to report the problem.

Additional safety information and tips can be found on the company’s website at www.rockymountainpower. net/safety.

About RMP Rocky Mountain Power provides safe and reliable electric service to more than a million customers in Utah, Wyoming and Idaho. The company works to meet customers’ growing electricity needs while protecting and enhancing the environment. Rocky Mountain Power is part of PacifiCorp, one of the lowest-cost electricity providers in the United States. More information available at rockymountainpower.net.

Scandinavian Festival showcases heritage May 25-26 EPHRAIM — The city of Ephraim, in the Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area’s (MPNHA) Little Denmark district, will hold its annual Scandinavian Heritage Festival, Friday, May 25 and Saturday, May 26 at and around Snow College.

The 42nd Annual Scandinavian Heritage Festival, this Memorial weekend features two full days of music, entertainment, crafts, arts, demonstrations, speakers, stories, food, vendors, sports, a car show, tours, a parade and fireworks.

One of the best recommendations for visitors is to seek out the information booth located at 150 East 100 North, pick up an event guide and map that will help to answer the many questions about the festival.

Pioneer reenactments The festival begins Friday, May 25, at 9 a.m. when the Pioneer Heritage Company will begin showing festival goers how the pioneers lived, worked and played. Visitors to Snow College, 100 East 100 North, will be able to view two days of reenactments that should give modern day folk a glimpse into the pioneer way of life.

Demonstrations of how pioneers cooked historic Scandinavian recipes over an open fire and period sewing or woodworking will be shown. Some good old-fashioned pioneer storytelling will also be held.

The kids should have fun participating in pioneer children’s games and activities.

The reenactments and demonstrations go from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Heritage Conference The Scandinavian Heritage Conference takes place Friday morning and will feature speakers at 10 a.m. and 11 a.m., in the auditorium of the Snow College Huntsman Library, 150 East College Ave. Neil Cox will speak at 10 a.m., on the history of the newspaper industry in Ephraim and his family ties to it.

in the Ephraim Co-op Building, 96 North Main Street, from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. and again on Saturday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m.

The show will not be judged, but visitors may vote for their favorite quilts.

Entertainment From Friday Noon through Saturday at dusk, the festival grounds on the north side of the Snow College campus and at Pioneer Heritage Park, 50 North 100 West, will buzz with costumes, dancing, storytelling, entertainment, historical tours, craft and food booths and more.

Storytelling On Friday and Saturday afternoon, storytellers will draw on the old and cherished tradition of storyteller Hans Christian Andersen, as storytelling has expanded to include pioneer stories and other folktales from various tellers who love the craft.

Dinner — Fireworks The Little Gourmet Scandinavian Dinner will be served Friday from 6-8 p.m., at the Greenwood Student Center at Snow College. A minimum of 300 hungry souls will be fed.

No reservations are required but there is a fee.

Come experience a Scandinavian dinner of epic proportions, literally a smorgasbord, a buffet-style meal that originated in Sweden. A feast like this may require a second stomach.

Annette Taylor, director of Food Services, says chefs will follow authentic Scandinavian recipes, making a meal to remember. Limpu bread offers a mysterious blend of seasonings and flours, while the hearts of romaine salad is built on the most tender, inner leaves of the lettuce.

Swedish tsimmes combine the tenderness of roasted veggies with baked-in apricot flavor, a combination sure to leave taste buds satisfied. As for the entrees, the chefs leave nothing to chance. Just wait and see what they throw into the Danish pork tenderloin. If that doesn’t satisfy, there is always that traditional staple, the Swedish meatball.

Last but not least, take a piece of Danish apple cake for the last empty corner of that stomach, if there’s one left. There will be a fireworks show after dinner or at dusk at Ephraim Family Park, 300 North 200 East. The fireworks can be viewed from outside the Greenwood Student Center.

Throughout this eventful day, there will be lots of entertainment, good food, bus tours, and activities for children and much, much more. Most entertainment events take place on the Snow College Main Stage or on the Heritage Plaza stage.

Grand Parade One of the Scandinavian Heritage Festival’s highlights is the annual parade, which will take place this year beginning at 10 a.m. The parade route begins at 200 South Main Street, travels north to 100 North (College Ave.), then heads East.

This year’s parade will give an opportunity to reflect upon the Scandinavian heritage of this part of the country. Each year the parade is well attended with local residents as well as may visitors who come for the weekend.

Car Show Then take a walk down memory lane and view all the original vehicles in The Original Side By Side Car Show from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. They will be parked on 100 East Street between Center and 100 North.

Prizes will be given for each of the top divisions and one grand prize for Best of Show at 3 p.m.

Bus Tours Two bus tours will be available starting at 11:30 a.m. and again at 1:30 p.m. Each tour lasts 50 – 60 minutes and participants will be on the bus the entire time. The tour will visit parts of Ephraim, including historic sites, buildings, and homes that highlight the early history of the town and its Scandinavian settlers.

Pioneer House Tours Visitors to Pioneer Park, 75 West 100 North, will have the opportunity to tour the Hans Hansen/Gladys Sparks Home, Bailey Cabin, Sorensen Cabin and the Jensen Granary, which all give a unique perspective of

early life in Sanpete.

Local police, EMT, firefighter heroes honored MT. PLEASANT — Local emergency response workers responded to a different kind of call May 5 at Mt. Pleasant City Park during a community meet and greet chili cook-off hosted by Miss Mt. Pleasant Royalty attendant, Gyllian Nelson, as part of her platform, “Getting to Know Your Local Heroes.”

“This platform means a lot to me because my step-dad, Kevin Jorgensen, is a corrections officer at the local prison,” Nelson said, “Everyday he goes to work and we never know if he will make it home. Not only that, but he is a U.S. Army Veteran as well as my dad. These are the type of people that protect and serve our country both here and far away.”

She relayed this message as the purpose behind her platform and indicates a feeling of gratitude and the desire to shed light on those people who don’t necessarily get the respect the heroes deserve.

Nelson’s aunt and uncle are both firefighters and EMTs in the local community and she has another uncle who is a police officer. “These people put their lives on the line every day to help others with little or no thanks,” she says, “and I want to create an awareness of them in the community, so they are given the proper credit for their service.”

To do this, she organized a chili cook-off to show support for those she considers local heroes. Connie

Hatch, MauRena Scott, Gyllian Nelson, Miss Mt. Pleasant Ally Brotherson and Kendall Smith served as judges for the event.

Winners of the cook-off are: Sharon Howell, Fairview Ambulance Association (EMT) took first place; Teri Tuttle, Mt. Pleasant EMTs took second; Mt. Pleasant Police Chief Jim Wilberg, took third; and Kevin Jorgensen, a corrections officer took fourth.

Music during the event was provided by the band Ghost Town Jury, featuring band members: Tony Hatch, George Whitman and Jared Jensen.

Future plans include a softball tournament between the local police, firefighters, EMTs and correction officers.

Details will be announced soon.

A community meet and greet chili cook-off was recently held to show support for local heroes at Mt. Pleasant City Park. Winners of the cookoff were honored. Shown are (left to right): Mt.
