The Black Lives Matter movement came to Sanpete County last week in the form of a pair of peaceful marches in Ephraim and Manti.

While protests and riots have taken place across the country following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on May 25, demonstrations in Utah had been mostly limited to the Wasatch Front.

This changed over the past week as events expanded into smaller communities like St. George, Moab and Kanab.

Video footage shows Floyd being pinned to the ground by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for more than 8 minutes while three other officers helped restrain him.

After repeating multiple times that he could not breathe, Floyd stopped moving and then died.

Thursday, June 18, 2020 • Vol. 129, No. 25 • 75 cents

Chauvin has since been charged with second-degree murder while the other three were charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder.

The march in Ephraim on June 9 garnered the support of about 150 people, a turnout that surprised many. Snow College student Tessa Whitaker said there were a lot more participants than she was expecting.

“I wasn’t sure how many people in this county even cared about issues like that that would care to participate in a march. It felt really good to see that many people there,” she said.

Whitaker estimated about 15 people participated in the Manti march.

MT. PLEASANT—Community volunteers were quick to respond on the afternoon of June 6 after a thunderstorm with strong winds blew through the area, knocking down and damaging trees in the Mt. Pleasant Cemetery and a nearby park.

Five trees were damaged in the cemetery, including a large tree that was blown completely over, said Jeanne M. Tejada, Mt. Pleasant City recorder. The tree knocked two tall headstones off their pedestals, but fortunately there was no damage to the headstones.

Shortly after the storm, a group of local residents showed up at the cemetery and began cleanup efforts.

“They got together a group of them and came over with their own equipment and started cutting it (the large tree) into pieces big enough that they could pick them up and haul them off,” Tejada said.

Tejada was told the volunteer effort started when a few people started calling around to their friends and a crew was organized.

They brought a lot of equipment, including chain saws and backhoes.

“They knew what damage had happened and they came over out of the kindness of their hearts to get it cleaned up,” Tejada said, adding that the volunteer effort saved the city parks department about a week of work.

“It was great and greatly appreci-

The volunteers hauled the pieces of wood to an area by the city sewer ponds where they will be burned by the fire department.

Another large tree at the cemetery was damaged enough that the decision was made to remove it the following day. Three smaller trees were also damaged; one was blown over, and the two others were partially blown over and had to be removed.

In the city park next to the cemetery, a tree was blown over and several others lost large limbs.

both recovered; Sanpete, 27 cases, 13 recovered, two hospitalized and now recovered and one hospitalized and now recovering at home; and Sevier with 29 cases, 11 recovered, one hospitalized. Wayne County has no reported cases.

There were 17 cases reported in the 15-24 age group; 29 in the 2544 age group; 20 in the 45-64 age group; nine in the 65-84 age group and only one case in the 85+ age group. There was one case reported in the 1-14 age group and no cases in the less than 1 age group. There have been no deaths.

There have been 4,585 people tested in the Six County area.

On June 12, a 2003 Mazda 6 was traveling southbound on US-89 at approximately mile marker 267. As the Mazda approached the intersection of SR-132 and US-89, another car traveling northbound reportedly turned in front of the Mazda, forcing the driver to swerve right to avoid a collision. The driver overcorrected and lost control, causing the Mazda to slide through the northbound lane and off the steep shoulder on the east side of the roadway. The car rolled at least once before coming to rest on top of a fence. The driver, 21-year-old Ryan Carney of Mt. Pleasant, was not injured.

Letter to the Editor

Building bureaucracy at citizens’ expense Editor: The terrorists have won.

The body politic is in panic model. County commissioners raise taxes unmercifully to meet the wage of cities like Ephraim to keep qualified deputies and refuse to make adjustments that prove useless like an officer outside the courtroom with a metal detector collecting pocketknives from enterers.

Ephraim City now has nine policemen and a budget they admit goes beyond the model set by law to run the city by requiring transfer of funds from utilities to general fund.

Wait, where are the terrorists? Where are the rioters? Where are the looters?

Where are the dangerous parts of the county or town?

Do we really need to inflict

higher taxes to counter the influx of citizens, mostly peaceful seniors? Have we second-class citizens become so frustrated from the loss of liberty? Have we become so dangerous that police contacting the public is putting their lives on the line as they claim?

It seems they are chasing shadows when it takes Fairview police, the sheriff’s

department, the state patrol and Ephraim police to accommodate a murderer who wants to turn himself in. And the local politicians are more interested in building their bureaucracies than serving the best interests of the citizens. This is the conclusion I get from my analysis from reading the local newspaper.

The Gardener’s Corner: Pests Dealing with the worst pests in your garden

BY RON MANN

Perhaps one of the most frustrating aspects of gardening or orcharding is dealing with the multitude of pests. Sometimes it feels like it is impossible to get ahead of them. They kill your trees and plants and destroy your vegetables and seem to be everywhere regardless of what you do to control them.

When we went into commercial orcharding, we ran straight into the massive problems of raising fruit because of the many insects that were constantly attacking our trees and fruit. Our garden was also constantly under attack.

However, we did not give up and eventually learned how to deal with many of them.

What follows are a few ideas for how to deal with the worst of the pests (insects, etc.) that we are confronted with in this area.

The Codling Moth: This pest is responsible for the worms that appear each year in your apples and pears. There are many chemicals that can be used to deal with them, but I am against the use of chemicals in my orchard, so I had to look for an organic method for dealing with them.

After nearly 20 years of trying to figure out how to deal with them, a professor in Oregon and I came up with the same solution – which really works. It is simple and cost-

free and will reduce the worm holes by 75 to 80 percent if done right.

Simply steel brush your apple or pear tree from the ground up to about 2 feet, making sure any loose bark or debris is removed. Then paint it with a white latex paint – it may be necessary to do it twice.

Now, wrap a piece of cardboard measuring 4 to 6 inches wide around the tree about six inches from the ground, securing it with wire. This should be done about the 1st of April.

In mid-June, remove the cardboard and replace it with a new piece of cardboard, again secured with wire. Leave this piece on until mid-October.

When you remove the cardboard, carefully place it into a plastic bag and then burn it.

The cardboard should have large tunnels to provide places where the codling moth can walk inside and lay eggs.

The Limb/Trunk Borers: There are two types of borers: one that attacks the limbs and another that attacks the trunks of apricot, peach and nectarine trees. Both can be dealt with through this procedure.

First, locate any holes in the limbs or tree trunks where a gold/brown honey liquid is oozing out. Take an ice pick and shove it into every hole you can find, hopefully killing the borer.

Then paint a ring immediately below the holes about 2

to 3 inches wide with fat (any kind will do, deer, cow, pig, etc.) The fat should be melted until it is the consistency of thick paint. Do this where you find any holes. This method has been used by orchardists for more than 125 years with considerable success.

Gophers: These little monsters are an enemy to every orchardist and gardener and must be dealt with immediately upon discovery. When you discover the mound of dirt, it will be shaped like a horseshoe. Start digging or drive a steel rod into the ground in front of the horseshoe to discover where the gopher’s tunnel is. Start about 12 inches from the top of the horseshoe.

Once the tunnel is discovered, I recommend you use a box or gut-ripper trap. Make sure the trap is secured to a stick or rod with a strong string. Then cover the hole with grass or dirt and come back and check in about four hours.

Another good solution is to use the new large stick of powder (in a gray package and about six inches long). Light it and quickly stick it into the hole and cover the hole entrance. It will make a loud bang and send large clouds of smoke down the tunnel that will kill or drive your gophers out of tat area.

Aphids: “Aphids are small, soft-bodied insects. Distinguished by their pear-like shape, long antennae and pair

of cornicles – tube-like appendages that project from the back end. They suck plant sap and cause withering of foliage and a general loss of vigor.’’

Aphids attack plants, trees and almost all vegetables and must be dealt with as soon as possible lest they get out of control. Usually they will appear in the top of the youngest branches. They will first appear as a small brown egg where some of the leaves will start wilting or curling up.

Dormant sprays will protect against aphids in trees; however, you could still have an outbreak of them. There are several ways to deal with them.

Spray as soon as you discover them with a solution of one tablespoon of dish soap to two quarts of water. Spray as often as necessary to get rid them.

You should rinse the soap off after a day or so. Also, Neem oil works.

Other ways to get rid of aphids include the use of ladybugs, placing a yellow dishpan of soapy water near the affected plants, and planting nasturtiums between vegetables rows.

Squash Bugs: “Squash bugs are dingy brownish-black insects, about 5/8 inches long, that have a very disagreeable odor when crushed. The young bugs have this same color. When newly hatched, they have reddish heads and legs and green bodies.”

Sanpete County booking report

The answer is love The other day, on a public posting board in Sanpete, I read a notice that has provoked some thought with me. I’m assuming that a young man had pinned the letter-sized paper to the board. But, I could be wrong. Maybe it was an old man or a middle-aged man.

I’m pretty sure it was a male who posted it. It was a masculine name on the notice — David. Even though I always thought I had a masculine name, I found out that Merrill is a girl’s name as well. According to my curiosity research at namemeaning.com, in the year of my birth (1952) there were 162 Merrill boy names given (per Social Security records). That same year, there were 49 Merrill girl names given.

In 2018, there were eight boys and six girls. Latest results show that Merrill is the 13,325th most popular name. Pretty impressive, eh? (You may want to look up your own name for fun and games, like I did mine.)

But, as usual, I digress.

So, back to the posted notice by a person unknown to me named David. Here’s how most of it read: “Free Yard Work — I want to see people love one another with their actions rather than their words. If you would like an hour of free labor, contact David .... Pulling weeds, moving heavy stuff, etc. I’m very busy, just like you, but I will do my best to lend a hand.

LOVE IS THE ANSWER.” When I saw the “Love is the answer” part, I wondered, “Then, what is the question?” I reasoned that the assumption is that love should be at least a part of all aspects of our lives and that it should be integral in answering all of life’s big questions.

Within 24 hours of seeing that posted notice, my wife and I were in Beck’s Home Furnishings in Mt. Pleasant. I had finally agreed, after years of subtle (and broad) hints, that it was time for us to shop for a king-sized bed. We have birthdays (birthday anniversaries, I should say) within a week of each other, so we were on a “quid pro quo” agreement that a new bed was a good idea for a birthday present to each other.

I have resisted the kingsized bed idea in the past on the grounds that I only use “this much of the edge of the bed” (holding my hands up indicating an underestimated length of about a foot and a half). That joke was wearing thin.

The sales person left us alone in the upstairs mattress gallery to do our “testing.” I was getting very drowsy by the time I had stretched out on eight or 10 beds.

To tell the truth, they all felt great to me — except for the one that felt like lying on a concrete floor with a puffy sheet under me. Some people like extra-firm mattresses. And some people can sleep on a bed of nails.

I don’t fit in either of those categories. Long story short, we bought a bed and I’m happy about it.

I’ve digressed again.

Here’s what I meant to say a couple of paragraphs ago.

In Beck’s, there was a home décor sign on the wall that read: “You need just three things for a Happy Life: Something to do. Someone to love. And something to look forward to.”

I homed in on the “love message” in the sign since I had just seen the “love is the answer” concept on the little poster earlier. When I read that sign in Beck’s, I felt like I was happy.

I had plenty to do — too much most days. I had someone to love — especially my “let’s get a new bed motivator wife,” and my family and friends otherwise — not to mention the people of Sanpete generally.

And, I had something to look forward to. The bed will be delivered soon. I don’t have to haul it in or set it up. Woo hoo! What’s not to be happy about?

I know, I know. We’re living in crazy times right now. Sometimes it doesn’t feel like these can be “happy times” or “times of love.” I admit, it’s hard to keep optimistic about life. Many of us are having “quarantine fatigue.” We’re tired of it all.

I’m hoping that we’re learning something that will be helpful to us as a society. I’m hoping that in spite of the hard times on so many fronts, we’re somehow learning that love needs to increase and be a genuine part of who we are. I think it can be, if we let it be.

Paul McCartney of The Beatles wrote and sang “Let it Be.” I feel like we need to catch some meaning from the lyrics: “When the broken-hearted people living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.”

Love can, and should be, that answer. Love, when mixed with all the other good attributes of humanity — like kindness, respect, empathy and proper acceptance and tolerance — is a powerful and magical force.

I’d call it the “Mr. Rogers effect.”

A shallow way to look at things? Perhaps. Ethereal and unattainable? Maybe.

But nothing else seems to be working.

P.S. An old woman once said, “Had I known I was going to live this long, I would have bought a new mattress.”

Grandparents of the bridegroom are Jerry and Darlene Anderson, and Steve and Gayle Seely, all of Mt. Pleasant.

LOGAN — Utah State University Extension has updated an online resource for future home buyers.

Online Home Buyer Education is an online course designed to cover topics related to buying a home for the first time. The course is accepted nationwide and is one of only three online courses approved by the U.S. Department of Rural Development. This course is now being offered in Spanish.

“Purchasing a home is one of the biggest financial decisions most people make,” said Stacy Abbott, USU Extension housing education program coordinator. “We are pleased when we hear that borrowers have gained knowledge of the home-buying process

and feel empowered to make wise financial decisions about purchasing a home.”

Topics covered in the course include assessing readiness for home purchase, taking charge of your money, finding the right home, acquiring a loan and selecting a lender, closing the mortgage loan and maintaining homeownership.

The course consists of six interactive units that include videos, voice-over narration and reading panels to accommodate persons with disabilities. The course also incorporates activities, quiz-

eggs. When discovered, simply squash them.

Cutworms: They are ugly to look at and unpleasant to touch. “Worse yet, they attack just about every plant in the garden. Young plants are usually cut off at the soil line.

This kind of injury is common in grow beds and cold frames and especially early in the growing season. Cutworms are typically plump, soft-bodied, usually dull in color and scantly covered with coarse bristles or hairs.’’

They are usually found at the base of plants on which they feed. When bothered, they usually coil their bodies.

They burrow several inches into the ground to pupate and grow into a night-flying moth.

If concerned, place a

3-inch-high cardboard barrier around young plants. Crushed egg shell can also be scattered around the plants and then covered lightly with soil. Also, building a ring of ashes around the plants and then soaking them with water might help.

Grasshoppers: Surely everyone is most familiar with grasshoppers. How to deal with them is a horse of a different color. The first sign that you may have a problem is the appearance of nymphs, which start feeding within a day of hatching. This is the time to kill them.

If they are not in your garden, one of the best things to kill them is Seven. You may have to spray several times to get them, but it is well worth it. Once they mature to where

they start laying eggs, you may be in serious trouble. You can also use Seven again, but I do not recommend its use in the garden.

Here in our county where we have many juniper trees, they may be the best solution. What you do is lay small juniper boughs around the perimeter of the garden and then some inside the garden. This usually deters them.

I have also used several homemade sprays such as amassing a large collection of the mature grasshoppers and placing them in a blender (use a second hand blender that you don’t ordinarily use).

Add some water and turn it on. This provides a wonderful spray for your plants – it seems to deter them.

USU Extension

PESTS are found on the leaves and should be crushed as soon as discovered. This is usually best done in the morning.

They can easily be deterred by growing radishes, nasturtiums or marigolds nearby.

Alternatively, place newspapers and boards about 6” wide and 12” long under the plants. Check the boards often by turning them over and crushing the squash bugs that have gathered there.

You must monitor your squash often or risk losing them to the squash bugs.

Also, it is wise to check the leaves of your plants regularly for squash bugs or their

Smith was raised in Provo where he attended Brigham Young University. After a few years of additional schooling in Texas, he made his home with his wife Holly and their five children in Ephraim, where he has taught physics and math at Snow College for 29 years.

He has had opportunities at the college to serve in leadership positions such as department chair (twice), division dean, director of faculty development and president of the faculty senate, but his heart is firmly in the classroom.

Smith believes it is a privilege and duty to give back to the community through public service. Larry served for six years on the Ephraim Public Library Board (including a term as chair) and for 12 years on the South Sanpete Board of Education (including a term as president). Sanpete County is a great place to live and he loves the people here.

Smith is running on the United Utah Party ticket because he considers himself to be a thoughtful and practical moderate. He believes extreme elements of both major political parties alienate many people in the middle who simply want good, reasonable representation in the government.

“Citizens want elected officials who put principle before party and are willing to compromise with other people of good will. No one political party has all the good ideas,” he said.

Education and quality of life issues are important to Smith. The county has been well governed, and he would like to continue in that tradition while planning for an even brighter future. He is a good communicator who listens carefully to input from citizens. He would appreciate your support in the November election.

Hatch and his wife are residents of Manti where they have lived for the past three years. They are both retired but are involved in various community and church activities.

Hatch graduated from the University of Utah in political science and spent five years on active duty in the United States Army. He has been associated with the Constitution Party since 2006 and has been involved in political functions at the local, county, state and national levels.

He supports the platform of the Constitution Party and finds that these principles are most representative of traditional American values.

“As a Constitution Party candidate, I have already signed a statement of intent to uphold Constitution Party principles and platform and will be held accountable to it.

I am committed to the communities of this district. Issues should be focused on our district and our relationship to the state of Utah. I will ensure that the citizenry in our district are fully represented in the Utah State Legislature.”

DWR biologists discover illegally introduced fish SALT LAKE CITY—During their annual spring surveys, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources biologists discovered something they hate to see — two more waterbodies had fish illegally dumped into them.

In an effort to survey how fish populations are doing in various waterbodies, DWR biologists place nets in waterbodies across the state.

They leave the nets in the water for a set amount of time, sometimes overnight, then pull them in to examine the catch.

They then count, weigh, measure and assess the condition of the fish caught in the nets. The biologists gain valuable data from these surveys as they learn how each species is doing.

However, when a different species is dumped into a waterbody by someone wanting to get rid of an aquatic pet or by anglers wanting to introduce their favorite species into the lake or reservoir, it can wreak havoc on the ecosystem of that fishery. It is also illegal in Utah.

“Any illegal introduction of a fish into a waterbody is harmful and can have numerous negative consequences,” said DWR Sportfish Coordinator Randy Oplinger.

“Illegal fish species can prey on and outcompete other fish species, including sportfish, native fish and endangered fish species. They can also introduce disease and negatively impact water quality. It is very expensive and takes a long time — often requiring rotenone treatments that kill all the fish — to restore these

waterbodies after fish have been illegally introduced there.”

Biologists discovered Utah chubs in Panguitch Lake and found goldfish in Jackson Flat Reservoir during their spring surveys. They aren’t quite sure when either species was illegally introduced.

“Panguitch Lake had to undergo treatments in 2005 in order to kill and remove Utah chubs, so it is really frustrating that someone illegally placed them into the lake again,” said DWR Southern Region Aquatics Manager Richard Hepworth. “We believe they may have

been introduced because an angler was using live chubs as bait, which is illegal. Utah chubs compete with trout and can ruin a fishery, as we’ve seen in the past. Right now, we are hopeful that we have the right predator fish in place to keep the chubs from increasing to the point where

they take over and we are required to treat the lake again.”

With the goldfish at Jackson Flat, biologists believe it was likely a case of someone reluctant to kill their unwanted pet. However, goldfish can be especially detrimental in an ecosystem because they are prolific spawners and can rapidly take over a waterbody.

“They compete with the other species and eat all the available food,” Hepworth said. “It is also frustrating for anglers who are trying to catch the other species because they end up just catching goldfish. We hope the largemouth bass in the lake can keep the goldfish numbers under control. We will try and stock some additional largemouth bass this year to help with that effort.”

As mentioned, it is illegal to take live fish from one waterbody and move them into another water. It is also illegal to dump aquarium fish and other unwanted aquatic pets into a lake, reservoir or river in Utah. Illegal fish introductions seldom improve fisheries; instead, illegal introductions typically ruin fisheries and threaten the species that live there.

Anglers are encouraged to report any invasive fish species, or if they see anyone illegally introducing fish into a waterbody, by calling 1-800-662-3337. Learn more about the consequences of illegal fish introductions by visiting the “Don’t Ditch a Fish” page on the DWR website.

Coronavirus precautions more important now than ever

BY JONATHAN SWINTON

USU Extension family life assistant professor

LOGAN—As the government encourages business openings, we must not end the preventative measures we each take to limit the spread of COVID-19.

Unfortunately, behavior in communities since May 1 suggests that many think we are past the threat – fewer people are wearing masks, people are going out in groups, children are playing in parks, sharing toys, etc.

In my professional opinion as a health and wellness professor, the reason COVID-19 has not spread in Utah the way it has in places such as New York or Europe is because we have sheltered in our homes.

We were able to intervene and close down early before the virus spread like it did in other places.

Our distance from urban centers has simply delayed the hit to our community, not made us immune from its spread. Despite extreme measures of staying home across Utah, we have continued to

average just below 200 new cases per day across the state.

Had we not closed most places down, it likely would have been significantly worse, and it is far from over.

The fact that we are opening businesses, parks and other locations does not mean we have suddenly reached a point where the virus is no longer a risk or is no longer contagious.

Based on scientific data, simply opening everything back up and returning to normal life will likely result in the spread of the virus like we have yet to see in Utah.

We cannot assume everything is normal until we have a vaccine and/or guaranteed treatment for the masses, and estimates are 2021. Until that time, the virus will likely continue to spread.

To make a slow opening across the state feasible, we must be diligent in our efforts when we are out. We should wear masks, which prevents unintended particulates from your mouth and nose from landing on surfaces others will touch, thus spreading the virus if you are a carrier.

We should not shake hands, hug or physically touch others (except those you live with).

We should maintain six feet of distance from everyone around us, which prevents airborne spread.

We should frequently wash our hands or sanitize when touching things others may have touched, such as doorknobs, shopping carts and credit card machines, and if we touch our own faces, as we might be a carrier of the virus and not know it.

If you have COVID-19 symptoms (cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, fever, chills, shaking, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, loss of taste or smell), stay home.

If you are in a high-risk group or around someone who has asthma, lung disease, diabetes, heart conditions, kidney disease, obesity, high blood pressure, liver disease, are immunocompromised, living in a care facility or 65+ in age, be extremely cautious.

If we are reckless now, we may be forced into another shutdown. We cannot main-

tain a permanent shutdown and survive economically, nor can we return to business as usual without causing significant increases in COVID-19

cases and deaths.

So, let’s all be diligent to prevent the spread as we go out so we can avoid a COVID-19 surge and another govern-

ment-required shutdown. The lives and economic needs of our community depend upon each of us practicing responsible preventative measures.

As interest in local food grows, water pollution shouldn’t NANCY MESNER

USU Extension

LOGAN—As a result of recent events, including the earthquake and coronavirus pandemic, more Utahns than ever are interested in growing and producing their own food. While this is a great opportunity to become sustainable, it should not happen at the cost of Utah’s water quality.

The Utah Water Quality Task Force launched a small

farms water quality website, DontShare.Utah.Gov, today to help small farms avoid actions that harm neighbors downstream and Utah’s water quality in general.

DontShare.Utah.Gov has best practices for manure management, pesticide application, fertilization and many other challenges small farms face. These practices can help new farms get a positive start and established farms improve their impact

on water quality.

“There are simple changes that make a big difference,” said Jim Bowcutt, Utah Division of Water Quality environmental scientist. “We hope Utahns will take the small steps that make a big difference in water quality.”

As part of the effort, the task force spatially analyzed soil samples submitted to the Utah State University Soil Lab and found that phosphorus, the most common ingre-

is the permanent, clog-free gutter solution!* *Guaranteed not to clog for as long as you own your home, or we wiill clean your gutters for free

dient in many fertilizers, was often high.

“We visualized nutrient data from soil samples submitted from all around the state,” said Nancy Mesner, USU Extension water quality specialist. “Many regions are showing phosphorus levels over 25 times higher than what is recommended for healthy plants.

These unused nutrients are carried by irrigation or rain runoff into our surface waters. Just like we shouldn’t share chewing gum, we shouldn’t share water pollution.”

The Utah Water Quality Task Force will publicize the Don’t Share website and associated water quality education campaign via social media, agricultural organizations and other advertising.

Local candidates running for a variety of offices Ballots for this year’s primary election are in the process of being mailed out to Sanpete County.

The Pyramid newspaper recently reached out to local candidates asking for information about themselves and their views. Following are the responses the paper has received.

Reed D. Hatch Sanpete County Commission Reed D. Hatch is running for a seat on the Sanpete County Commission as a member of the Republican Party.

Hatch moved to Sanpete in 1960 and continues to live in Manti with his wife Debbie

(Larsen) and their two golden retrievers. They have four children — Cory, Kent, Kyle and Kaitlyn – and eight grandchildren.

Hatch graduated from Manti High School in 1973 and attended Snow College and Utah Valley State College. He started working in the Sanpete County record-

wasn’t just me and my neighbors,” she said.

Current and former faculty and staff at Snow College turned out to support the Ephraim march. “I actually saw two of my professors there; Dr. Vance Larsen and Dr. Trent Hanna were there,” she said. “I also saw (Snow College) President (Brad) Cook and Josh Hales, who teaches business classes at Snow …. It gave me a hope that we aren’t alone.”

Dr. Vance Larsen, who is the chairman of the Snow College music department and a retired lieutenant colonel in the Utah National Guard, said of his participation, “It isn’t enough to sit on the fence

Protestors show their support for Black Lives Matter in Ephraim on June 9. anymore. I marched because I needed to take a stand.”

Sarita Fowler, who co-organized the Manti march along with Whitaker, also participated in the Ephraim march.

“There are a lot of people here who do want to combat racism and who are openminded. More than I realized,” she said. “I was like, oh wow, there are people willing to lis-

er’s office in 1978 after being hired by Jackson Wanlass. He was first elected as recorder in 1990. He has loved his job and the people he works with as well as the chance to get to know the residents of Sanpete County.

“We have had many county commissioners in my time with the county, and I appreciate the time and effort they put into making Sanpete such a wonderful place to live in,” Hatch said. “The commissioners have had a real battle trying to keep the taxes as low as possible while still providing essential services. Costs on everything continue to increase while the taxpayers pay the brunt of it.

ten.”

In Ephraim, “There were a few people who drove by and yelled at us and flipped us off,” Whitaker said. Things in Manti went a bit farther.

“There was one man sitting on his lawn holding a gun, but you could tell it was a toy because of the orange tip. There were people wearing Trump hats that just stood there and stared us down as we walked.”

According to Whitaker, one lady even drove by yelling and calling them “dumb (expletive)s” and telling them to go home. “It really wasn’t a big deal though,” she said.

Negativity toward the marches actually started before they took place. Fowler said that when she posted the event in a group on Facebook, the moderator of the group

“I know that everyone says that we need more jobs, and I agree! The county has done a great job on tourism, but I think that the focus needs to be to bring new businesses and jobs to our county. With the help of our state representatives and working with the Legislature, we can try to push more money to rural Utah in the form of tax breaks and incentives that would help new businesses start up or relocate to Sanpete.”

disabled comments on the post and there were a lot of dislikes on it.

“I don’t understand why people would be upset about that,” she said.

Social media posts for the Ephraim march faced similar backlash, including one person saying that he was going to herd his sheep down Main Street during the march.

“It was mostly positive though,” Whitaker said. In Manti, “There was a really nice black lady in a car who was excited to see us. She smiled and waved … she even drove down the street a ways so she could see us more.”

Similar things happened in Ephraim as drivers in vehicles passing by honked and waved in support.

Fowler said she grew up in

southern California’s high desert. “The majority of the people there were Latino. We also had a lot of black people and Asian people. Coming here, it was a whole different ballgame,” she said.

Fowler said when she moved to Sanpete, she was surprised because there was less racial diversity.

“There have been a lot of white people who have hijacked this whole movement about ‘black lives matter’ and made it about them,” Fowler said. “With the whole ‘all lives matter thing,’ it doesn’t diminish your worth to recognize the worth of other people and especially people who are experiencing things as awful as they are, experiencing these things every day of their lives.”

Snakes alive, it’s that time again!

LOGAN — Snakes are one of the slithery signs of late spring and summer. Of the 31 species found in Utah, seven are venomous. These are commonly called pit vipers because of the pit located between their nostrils and eyes. Most pit vipers found in Utah also have tails with a series of rattles, hence the name rattlesnake.

All snakes are classified as non-game animals and are protected by Utah state law. A person cannot collect or possess a live wild snake without receiving a Certificate of Registration from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources.

When there are human, domestic pet and livestock safety concerns, a venomous snake may be killed without a certificate.

Because most snakes in Utah are non-venomous, most human-snake encounters are generally not dangerous. However, if you encounter a venomous snake and are bitten, the consequences could be serious. Consider these tips.

• If you encounter a snake, leave it alone. Every year, hundreds of want-to-be herpetologists and snake charmers are bitten when they try to capture or kill a snake. Even dead snakes have been known to bite by reflex action. More
