MT. PLEASANT — Horses played a key role in colonizing the West.

The Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area (MPNHA) tells their story through agri-tourism and events that carry forward the power of the horse.

The Cleone Peterson Eccles Equestrian Center, which hosts inside events in the ConToy Arena at 955 West 1000 South, recently attracted professional team ropers who brought their world class talent to Mt. Pleasant City, the Chair Community for the MPNHA. More than 500 teams flocked to the qualifier to compete on May 17-18, Horses and livestock scrambled around the arena as competitors sent their and the large parking lot in front of lassos flying in the team roping event at the ConToy Arena. the arena nearly swelled to capacity with camp and horse trailers. Facility organizer Jack Widdison says this is the fourth team roping event held so far, and also the biggest.

Quinn Kesler, lifelong rodeo competitor and owner of Double Dollar Livestock, hosted the qualifier and says the Mt. Pleasant facility is extremely well suited to large events like the one he organized recently.

“We love coming here,” he says.

“The organizers are always very helpful and accommodating to our needs.

If any changes have to happen, Jack [Widdison] handles it quickly. We love the small town feel from the When the 2019 World Series of Team Roping qualifier took place at Mt.

Spencer and Abby Cox hit the campaign trail running last Monday for his bid to run for Governor of Utah. Cox has committed to a huge undertaking of visiting every city and incorporated town in the state during his campaign.

Spencer Cox begins campaign, pledges to visit every city, town in Utah SALT LAKE CITY — Lt. Governor Spencer Cox recently published a video announcing he and his wife, Abby, will visit all 248 Utah cities and towns as part of their campaign for governor.

“Our next governor will have many very important decisions to make and he or she needs to ensure every Utahn has an opportunity to be intimately involved in preparing for our future,” Spencer Cox said.

“If elected Governor, Utahns should know that no matter where they live I will represent their interests.”

The trip began last Monday in Morgan and will continue throughout Summit, Wasatch, Duchesne, Uintah, and Daggett counties. This week alone the Cox for Governor campaign will make 24 campaign stops.

“This won’t be easy. But not only will I be a stronger candidate because of this, it will also further prepare me to be a better governor,” said Spencer.

Last Mormon Miracle Pageant presentations prepared Here it is, the 53rd and final presentations of the MMP. The Manti Temple grounds have been transformed for the last time into a giant outdoor stage for the presentation on the south side of Temple Hill.

A cast of over 900 volunteer actors will bring new life and excitement to Manti while depicting scenes from history with dance, music and drama for a large audience seated under a canopy of stars.

Each year, the pageant retells the account of the resurrected Jesus Christ visiting the people on the American continents. The dramatization includes Christ healing and teaching the people, as well as blessing the children, just as he did in Jerusalem.

Then time fast-forwards to the 1800s, when farm boy Joseph Smith received and later translated the record of this ancient American people.

The record is known today as the Book of Mormon.

Finally, the presentation concludes with the story of a fictional couple searching for religious truth and enlightenment and the joy they find

The Pyramid

The Manti Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints provides a wonderful stage for this year’s 53rd Annual Mormon Miracle Pageant, which begins on the hill overlooking the Sanpete Valley on the south side of the temple. Attendees can witness the pageant June 13-15 and 18-22. Admission is free, gates open at 6 p.m., and pageant begins at 9:30 p.m.

MANTI — The final presentations of the Mormon Miracle Pageant begin next week during two dress rehearsals to be held Tuesday and Wednesday, June 11 and 12, followed by the official pageant presentations for eight nights, Thursday thru Saturday, June 13-15, and Tuesday thru Saturday, 18-22. Admission is free. Gates open each night at 6 p.m., and the pageant begins at 9:30 p.m.

Each June, for the past 52 years, Manti has come to life and presented a grand production full of wonder and excitement. In October 2018, an official statement from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said that while local celebrations of culture and history may be appropriate, the Church now discourages larger productions such as pageants.

Existing Church pageants around the world were reviewed and it was announced in December 2018 that the Manti Pageant, also known as the Mormon Miracle Pageant (MMP) would have its last performances in 2019.

Be Kind Utah campaign underway JULENE REESE

USU Extension

LOGAN — Research continues to show that kindness is one of the most important qualities in marriage and parent-child relationships. It has been shown to improve personal happiness when people turn outward and are kind to others.

According to David Schramm, Utah State University Extension family life specialist, there are many ways to practice kindness. It starts with being observant and aware of opportunities to help people in need.

“A kind word, smile or action can help others who may be suffering,” he said. “Other simple ways include giving

The organization recently launched a Be Kind Utah campaign, which is an initiative designed to increase and build awareness of acts of kindness

tion about resources.

“If all of us would slow down a bit and take more time to be kind, there would be less hurt and more hope and happiness,” Schramm said. “We can all be a little more kind in our thoughts, words and actions.

We can express more gratitude and think of others before ourselves. I really believe kindness is a part of the answer to many of our social and family struggles today. We should throw it around like confetti!”

Visit www.BeKindUtah.org for information on the campaign. Participants are invited to pledge the number of acts of kindness they plan to be part of. The campaign hashtag is #BeKindUT2019.

What makes something valuable?

Two or three weeks ago, I heard on the news about a painting which sold at auction for $110.7-million.

The name of the painting is “Meules” (Haystacks). I admit that it’s a pretty picture of old fashioned haystacks in a field. I’m assuming that a nice frame was included in the sale – and perhaps a certificate of authenticity.

You see; this wasn’t just any old painting. The very famous French impressionist Claude Monet created it in 1890. When the oil on canvas piece was painted, some high society folks in Chicago purchased it. It remained with that bunch until 1986 when it was sold for $2.53 million.

That 1986 purchaser, as a seller now, just crashed through the previous record for a Monet painting which was $84.6 million. That was just a year ago when a painting called “Water Lilies in Bloom” sold.

That 1986 purchaser increased his original investment by about 40 times – not bad – not bad at all.

In a separate news story, within a day or two of the Monet painting sale, it was reported that a 41-inch high stainless steel sculpture of a rabbit, titled “Rabbit,” was sold for $91.1 million. It was made by American artist Jeff Koons. The auction house announced that this was a record price for a work done by an artist who is still living.

These two news reports were interesting and really very striking to me. The question arose in my mind: What makes something valuable? I’ve thought about this quite a bit since hearing about those art sales. I haven’t arrived at a simple answer.

As is my way, I took my question to the Internet and found some interesting results. I liked what sanespaces. com had to offer. The breakdown there was that there are several categories of reasons that give an item value. Here they are: historical significance, intrinsic value, reSale value, popularity value, and sentimental value.

When flipping channels on television, sometimes I’ll run across a show called “American Pickers.” It shows a couple of guys who travel around the countryside looking in people’s garages, barns and sheds for “treasures.”

It’s amazing the stuff people collect, hoard, and hang onto. (Actually it’s not that amazing, I’m sort of a living example of collecting, hoarding and “hanging onto’ism.”

And I know a few of you who are in the same boat.)

These guys on the TV show get really excited about rusted out Volkswagens, ancient motorcycles, broken historical toys, World War II uniforms, old pinball machines, and a gazillion other things. They pay good money for stuff that’s been literally buried in heaps of junk for decades. It’s “valuable stuff.”

I was at the Rat Fink Reunion in Manti over the weekend. They had an auction at the park during the car show. Many people saw value in new memorabilia that has been produced. Pretty substantial prices were paid for

works of art and other items.

Maybe it’s a good investment.

Maybe ownership of some things just feels good. I’m not sure.

Speaking of the car show, there’s another category for the question of what makes something valuable. Some of those cars have been restored with hundreds of hours of hard work. And some of them are one-of-a-kind. Every category of value applies to them.

At the car show, I asked one guy, whom I’ve been acquainted with for many years, how much he would sell his car for. The answer was, “I’ll never sell it. It’s going to my son.” He bought it originally for $400 and thousands of dollars have gone into it, besides hundreds of hours of work. The sentimental value is indeterminable.

So, like I said, the concept of value is complicated. It’s like the lyrics from the old Ray Conniff song “Happiness Is.” Just substitute the word “Value” for “Happiness” in this line from the song: “Happiness is different things to different people. That’s what happiness is!” Going along with this is the saying that applies to the question of what makes something valuable: “One person’s junk is another person’s treasure.”

Value isn’t always wrapped up in a physical item. Friendships, relationships, knowledge, good health, and many other things are very valuable.

I would say that people in Sanpete have some things in common as to what is considered valuable. We value country living. We value being able to get from one end of the county to the other without encountering traffic jams.

(Not counting sheep herds and farm equipment convoys) We value being able to let our kids ride their bikes across town by themselves to their friend’s house to play.

We value being able to have a reasonable expectation that stuff when left out won’t be stolen from our porches and yards. We value knowing our neighbors and knowing that they watch out for us.

It’s valuable to us to have nature’s beauty so close with our mountain canyons, lakes and streams. Most of us can be on a mountain road within a very few minutes after leaving our homes.

There’s a lot more that we consider as valuable here in Sanpete – more than I have space to list.

Interestingly though, if we circle back to the beginning of this piece, we have wonderful art here as well. Sanpete artists are awesome. I’m not aware of any multi-million dollar sales of paintings or sculptures, but who knows? As in the sales that I referred to in the beginning, the buyers and sellers are often anonymous.

I own a little bit of art. The most valuable pieces fall in the “sentimental value” category of value. I’m not sure what the appreciation rate in dollars will be on the drawings done by my children and grandchildren. But whatever it is, I’m not selling. They’re too valuable – to me.

MT. PLEASANT — In the latest episode of Discovery Road, entitled “Crossing Time,” viewers are taken across the historic Rockville Bridge in southern Utah to see efforts by residents to save the aging structure with the open air art competition that took place around the nearby ghost town of Grafton, Utah.

In 1866, Grafton was the county seat to Kane County, but a year later boundaries changed that, giving the honor to Rockville. Several intriguing stories have been discovered in and around the unique bridge and Grafton, including a German couple’s worldwide journey in a recreational vehicle.

There’s the bicyclist from Louisville, KY; who just had to see the 1924 bridge up close and the woman from France who saw it and wanted a photo of the bridge as a souvenir.

The amazing story of the Zion Park Tunnel is then told using historic black and white photographs. There is film of the construction and 1930 dedication ceremony.

Discovery Road then takes a ride through the portal that changed how people visit national parks. The program concludes with a fascinating story about the first tourists to visit Zions Na-

tional Park.

The tourists’ saga starts with a scrapbook discovered on eBay by a woman from Manti, UT; and concludes with a book she and her husband wrote about six University of Utah girls who were selected to showcase the opening days of Zion National Park nearly a century ago.

The purpose of Discovery Road is to preserve, tell and interpret the stories and history of the Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area. Monte Bona, director of the MPNHA says, “It’s a great venue to tell these Mormon stories and it’s also a way to encourage people to do what people did in my day: Go on a Sunday drive and explore the area. We hope this series will inspire people to drive our Heritage Highway and explore our heritage.”

About MPNHA The Mormon Pioneer Heritage Area is a federally designated area of central and southern Utah running along the beautiful and historic U.S. Highway 89 — including the All-American Road Utah State Route 12, and Capitol Reef Scenic Byway Utah State Route 24, which both intersect with U.S. 89 and together form the MPNHA’s Boulder Loop. The area includes the counties of Sanpete, Sevier, Piute, Wayne, Garfield and Kane.

A couple from Germany takes time from their worldwide venture in a recreational vehicle to explore the Rockville Bridge just outside of Zions National Park. The vacationers are featured in the new Discovery Road Show Crossing Time.

John and Melissa Clark of Manti, Utah; show their book “Opening Zion” which chronicles the whirlwind 1920 promotion trip of six University of Utah students to Zion National Park.

Container gardens for every occasion MELINDA MYERS

Gardening expert

MUKWONAGO, WI — Make every occasion special by designing and growing containers for summer holidays, weddings, anniversary parties or other special celebrations. Pick a color scheme appropriate for the occasion or a variety of colors and shapes sure to add a festive touch.

Look for opportunities to include edible and flower filled planters. Set containers at the front entrance to welcome family and guests. Use smaller containers to line a pathway and decorate each table. Fill large pots with tall plants and ornamental grasses to provide privacy and define spaces.

Boost personal confidence and eliminate the guesswork by including winning varieties trialed and proven for their performance in gardens and containers.

All-America Selections (AAS) is a non-profit trialing organization with test sites across the U.S. and Canada. Volunteer judges rate entries based on their improved performance, flavor and unique qualities.

The AAS website can help with the selection of edibles and flowers suitable for container gardening, just visit https:// all-americaselections.org.

Then pick a color theme. Red, white and blue combinations are perfect for patriotic holidays like the fourth of July. Or

pick one color and display it in patriotic pots.

For reds consider Summer Jewel red salvia, Viking XL Red on Chocolate begonia and Double Fire Zahara zinnia. Add a light airy touch with Sparkle White guara and Gypsy White Improved baby’s breath.

Evening Scentsation petunia, Strata salvia and Lavender Lady lavender provide the blue. Add an explosion of texture with fiber optic grass or Fireworks penstemon.

Host a sports event using flower colors or containers of the favorite team. Add to the festivities by growing them in a football, baseball or soccer shaped planter.

Gold is always a great choice

when celebrating anniversaries, golden birthdays or any special occasion. Dress up the tables with the plump blooms of Marigold Big Duck Gold or the feathery blossoms of Fresh Look Gold celosia.

Let those celebrating know they’re special by including Super Hero™ Spry marigold.

The maroon and golden yellow flowers top 12” tall plants and the name says it all.

All these golden beauties will continue to flower and thrive long after the party ends. Combine them with other bright colors like South Pacific Orange canna, and Calliope® Medium Dark Red geranium to create a festive atmosphere.

Bring the garden to the party

with a few edible containers for a bit of interactive dining. Encourage guests to harvest herbs and vegetables as they create a salad, season their dinner or flavor their favorite drink. Then dress up the meal with edible flowers like calendulas and Baby Rose nasturtium with its peppery flavored flowers and leaves.

Make any outdoor wedding, reception or rehearsal dinner at a home memorable by creating planters that complement the bride’s color scheme. Include white flowers, like Summer Jewel White salvia, Mont Blanc nierembergia, Starlight rose zinnia and Gypsy White Improved gypsophila. White is the perfect neutral and lights up any evening celebration.

Once a gardener experiences the difference specially-designed containers can make, they’ll be looking for more opportunities to host events and grow more planters.

NSMS students learn ‘real life’ lessons RAY LAFOLLETTE

The Pyramid

MORONI — While almost all of the eighth grade students spent May 22 at Lagoon, about 200 seventh grade students took part in the annual North Sanpete Middle School (NSMS) College and Career Awareness Day. This full day event has taken place each year for approximately 15 years at NSMS and consists of a visit to Reality Town, followed by a hamburger and hotdog barbeque lunch, live entertainment by a band in the afternoon followed by a talent show.

Reality Town provides seventh grade students with the opportunity to get some idea of what it is like to be a 30-yearold parent with at least one child and the need to provide housing, transportation, clothing, food and all the other necessities for daily life.

The event is hosted and organized by the NSMS Career and Technical Education team (CTE), which is composed of Corby Briggs, shop teacher; Laura Tenny, home economics; Carey Ivory, business; and Kami Millett, counselor. In addition, there are 30 volunteers from surrounding communities who come to operate the businesses in the town.

Each student is evaluated in advance of the event. The student’s current Grade Point Average (GPA) is used to determine each student’s occupation in Reality Town.

For example, if a student is doing quite well in school and has a high GPA, chances are that in reality they will have a

Richardson’s job was to help in the Transportation Booth, where each of the students purchased their family car.

Whatever was purchased had to be paid for with money from their current paycheck. (Photo by Ray LaFollette, The Pyramid) good paying job. On the other side, if their GPA score is low, they could have a poor job that does not provide much income.

Before entering Reality Town, each student is given a booklet that notifies them that they are now 30 years old, have moved to a new community and need to make purchases for setting up their household.

The student learns whether they are married, and if both spouses work and how much money their spouse adds to the monthly income. If there is a spouse, the spouse already has a car, but will need $100 for gas and maintenance. The student will also need to purchase

a car for their own use and pay the gas and maintenance.

Each student learns whether they have one or more children to provide for, as all of the students will have at least one child in their family. It is pay day and the student learns what occupation has been assigned to them based on their GPA, what their monthly household income is, their annual gross salary and tax withholdings and any other items such as health insurance or loan payment withholdings; along with health insurance premium cost and dental insurance costs.

Then it is time to go to Re-

ality Town and visit the many businesses and representatives to try juggling the financial responsibilities of an adult. Each student must get signed off at every business.

They must first go to a bank to set up an account, an optional savings account, and receive a checkbook with funds in it based on their paycheck.

Then each student may visit other businesses in any order to make purchase choices.

All of the purchases made are listed in a check register.

The businesses include child care, clothing, communications, dentist office, doctor office, donations, entertainment,

groceries, home improvement, housing, car insurance, health and dental insurance, personal care, property taxes, transportation, utilities and “Just My Luck.”

Just My Luck is like drawing a Chance card in the game of Monopoly. Pick a card and see what you get. It could be money or a bill. Whatever it is will affect the checkbook balance.

There are six optional businesses to visit including financial counseling, supplemental income, pet store, recruitment office, life insurance and investments.

If the student runs out of money, or wants to use money from savings, then they must visit financial counseling. The counselor will assist them with budgeting, debt financing. If too much was spent on a house or car, perhaps a smaller one would be less expensive.

In transportation, the stu-

dent may pick from several new or used cars to purchase.

Each vehicle shows its cost to purchase and cost for gas and how many people it will seat.

For housing there are several homes to choose. Each choice shows a monthly cost and how much space there is and what the required monthly income is.

The whole idea behind visiting Reality Town is to help students realize the value of getting a good education.

Students with a good education can get better paying jobs. With better pay they are allowed to receive better living conditions and opportunities.

It is a wake-up call for many of the students who don’t realize the many expenses involved and the effort it takes to live within the limits of a monthly income. Students who are wise will choose wisely as it is never too early to begin planning for the future.

Another restless night? Five tips for good night’s sleep FLOWER MOUND, TX — Millions of Americans toss and turn much of the night, unable to fall asleep – or to stay asleep once they finally do drift off.

Maybe it’s worry about bills.

Maybe it’s relationship problems. It might even be a sleep disorder keeping them awake when they should be snoozing soundly. Whatever the reason, more than one-third of American adults don’t get enough sleep on a regular basis, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Without proper sleep, people could be drowsy at work the next day, unable to properly perform their job and irritable with everyone around them.

And that’s not all.

“Lack of sleep can leave a person fatigued and with a weakened immune system, which could make them more susceptible to infections,” says Dr. Shab Krish, author of Restore Your Rest: Solutions for TMJ and Sleep Disorders (www.krish.com).

“Lack of sleep can also decrease your mental acuity, disrupt natural hormone levels,

and lead to a variety of other significant health problems.”

Krish, who is also director of TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of North Texas, offers a few suggestions for those who find themselves still grumpy and exhausted when morning arrives: 1.) Set a clock to remind when bedtime is approaching.

Most already set a clock so that they wake up when needed in the morning. But Krish suggests an additional alarm be set 30 minutes before bedtime.

“That will be a reminder that you need to shut off electronic devices and start to unwind,” she says. Krish says people should strive to go to bed at the same time every night.

2.) Set the mood. Krish says a bedroom should be an oasis.

She recommends having dark shades covering all windows and eliminating any noise. Set the temperature between 68 degrees and 72 degrees.

3.) Follow rituals. Establish nightly bedtime rituals, such as taking a warm bath, listening to relaxing music, or reading.

“Getting into a nightly routine

4.) Use the bed only as a bed.

People lead busy, stress-filled lives, and sometimes they take their work to bed right along with them, determined to answer one last email or finish

that report before they turn out the light. Bad idea, Krish says.

“Doing work or other stressful activities while in bed can make it difficult for your brain to relax when it’s time to sleep,” she says. “Go into a different room to finish that work. That

way when your body hits the mattress, your brain knows it can start to relax.”

5.) Rule out a sleep disorder.

Experiencing trouble falling asleep, waking up regularly during the night, and snoring are a few of the indications that a person might have a sleep

disorder, such as sleep apnea, Krish says.

“When you wake up in the morning you should feel refreshed,” she says. “If you don’t, that might be an indicator of a more serious problem and you should consider talking to a medical professional.”

Finally, Krish says exercise also can help. “Regular exercise is not only good for your body and overall health, it’s also good for your sleep,” she says. “A solid 30 minutes of daily exercise can make a huge difference in your quality of sleep.”

About Dr. Shab Krish Dr. Shab Krish, author of Restore Your Rest: Solutions for TMJ and Sleep Disorders, is director of TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of North Texas. She has board certifications with the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain and the American Board of Craniofacial Dental Sleep Medicine.

“They told me, ‘Mrs. Wasden, we’re going to help you get well.’ I yelled, ‘But I’m not sick! Why won’t anyone believe me?’ But looking into my husband’s eyes, the realization hit me: the hospital visit was him running out of ways to make things better.”

Wasden got better, and while there were bumps in the road through 26 years of treatment,

she says Ketamine and Dialectical Behavior Therapy helped her through her struggles. It’s been a remarkable journey through depression, mania, an eating disorder and suicidal thoughts.

“My father died from suicide, and I have attempted suicide,” Wasden says. “I’ve been in psychiatric hospitals twice, and I know five people who have committed suicide.”

Wasden’s inspiring story includes the profound impact her mental illness had on her family, yet how ultimately – through love, acceptance and treatment – it didn’t stop her from being a devoted wife and mother.

“You can be married and raise a family being mentally ill,” she says. “I have created a life worth living despite my struggles. There is hope.”

Nell A. Livingston 1930~2019 MORONI-- After a life filled with love and kindness, Nell Livingston peacefully passed away surrounded by loved ones May 29, 2019, at the age of 89.

She will be remembered for her happy personality and love for her family and friends. She was an amazing person.

Nell was born Jan. 19, 1930, in Salina, UT; to Nellie and Nathaniel Anderson. Her sweet mother passed away during her birth and she was raised by her Aunt Jane and Uncle Leo. She had a delightful childhood surrounded by her cherished Washburn cousins who treated her like their own.

She married Clifton Glen Livingston Sept. 1, 1947, in Moroni, UT. They were later sealed in the Manti Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Nell and Glen lived in Magna, UT; for over 50 years of their married life, raising their four children there before returning to Sanpete in their retirement.

An active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Nell loved serving. She especially loved and served the Young Women for many years, later serving in the Relief Society.

She also served faithfully in the Manti Temple and loved every minute she was there. Every calling saw the same selfless devotion from Nell, and she was loved by all.

Nell especially loved her family. She fully cherished and enjoyed each and every grandchild and celebrated with them, as well as all her nieces and nephews or anyone who needed a hug, treating everyone with the same Christ-like love.

She is survived by her children, Craig Livingston; Julie (Bus) Pettersson; Jerry (Teri) Livingston; Darrin (Susan) Livingston; her 11 grandchildren and their families, including 18 great- grandchildren.

Nell was preceded in death by her husband, Glen, and her great-granddaughter, Hanna.

Funeral services were held June 3 in the Moroni Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Interment was in Moroni City Cemetery.

Widdison says he hopes to develop the equestrian center by adding men’s and women’s showers so overnight visitors have a place to clean up. He

would also like to include a new PA system to be used not only inside the arena, but also throughout the entire complex so outside events, including jumping, are able to use announcers and commentators.

He would also like to make improvements to the stalls.

Monte Bona, director of the

Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area, says the equestrian center has a lot to offer the community and those who come to utilize it. He believes that even in a modern society, the power of the horse can benefit the populace, just like it did for the Mormon pioneers.
