Mark and Sue Johansen

Johansen’s named Hub City Days parade grand marshals MT. PLEASANT — Mark and Sue Johansen, Mt. Pleasant, have been chosen to lead the Hub City Days Mammoth Parade as the parade’s grand marshals.

The parade will be held at 11 a.m., Wednesday, July 4, Independence Day. Mark and Sue Johansen have lived in Mt. Pleasant most of their lives. They love this valley and the people here.

Mark was raised in Mt. Pleasant while Sue grew up in Moroni. Both attended North Sanpete High School and were high school sweethearts.

Mark and Sue were married in the Manti LDS Temple in 1976 and for a short time lived in Murray and Orem.

It didn’t take them too long to realize that Sanpete was where they wanted to raise a family. So the family moved to Moroni for a couple of years and then moved to Mt. Pleasant where Mark started a refrigeration and appliance repair business.

While Mark was growing up in Mt. Pleasant, he loved working with his father on the family farm. The farm has been in the family for a number of generations. In 1980, the Johansen’s decided to raise turkeys and cattle on the family farm and continue with that today.

The Johansens have been blessed with four children, Ryan (Sheila); Stacey (Cameron); Kyle (Krachelle); and Tyler (Sadee); 14 grandchildren, (11 boys and three girls). The children and grandchildren love to spend time in Mt. Pleasant and help at the farm whenever possible.

For several years Mark served on the Moroni Feed Company Board and in the community. He has served as a bishop, stake president and in other callings in the LDS Church. He loves to hunt, fish and spend time with his family.

Sue worked for Mt. Pleasant City and loved working with the people there for 19 years. She is currently a member of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers Pleasant Creek Camp. She is also serving as a stake Relief Society president and has served in several other positions in the LDS Church.

The Johansens are grateful for their rich pioneer heritage. Mark and Sue say their greatest accomplishment is their family and are so proud of them. The couple love to spend time with family watching ball games, going camping, enjoying the mountains, fishing, working on the farm, playing cards, board games and other fun activities.

PRICE — When the Trail Mountain Prescribed Fire escaped across Cottonwood Canyon Road to East Mountain on June 6, it initially only burned 300 acres. Since then, the fire has grown to 17,697 Acres. Fortunately the fire is now considered 79 percent contained, and mop up operations have begun in some areas. Highway 31 is open, but travelers are encouraged to drive with caution.

Fire update Although a significant amount of acreage has been involved in this fire, the growth of the fire has slowed greatly. Most of the fire line is now under control.

Due to overall increased containment and decreased fire activity, the fire management operation has transitioned to the Matheson Type 3 Incident Management team, consisting of multi-agency personnel.

Current firefighting resources include six helicopters, 18 engines, six crews with a total of 334 personnel.

Construction of containment line continues along the east section of the fire. One crew is spiked out at Indian Creek, to continue containment between Little Bear and Mill Fork drainages, and to minimize travel time and exposure when coming off the fire line.

Firefighters continue to secure the north section of the fire with containment line and use of natural barriers such as aspen stands and rocks.

In many areas of the fire, mop up and rehabilitation work continues.

The Type 3 Management Team is working with cooperators to evaluate powerlines in Meetinghouse Canyon and Elk Springs.

Recognizing the destructive force of post-fire events like flooding and debris flows, the Forest Service, Natural Resources Conservation Service, State of Utah, BLM, Emery County and private industry are beginning

Thursday, June 28, 2018 • Vol. 128, No. 26 • 75 cents

work to stabilize drainages where work can be done.

The watershed stabilization work of planning and implementing typically begins before the fire is out and may continue for up to a year. The group is currently working on catchments and other drainage structures in burned-over areas.

BAER team A Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) team is being established by the Manti La Sal National Forest to begin its burned area survey of the Trail Mountain fire.

The objective of the BAER program is to determine the need for, and to prescribe and implement emergency treatments on Federal lands to minimize threats to life or property resulting from the effects of a fire or to stabilize and prevent unacceptable degradation to natural and cultural resources.

“After a fire the first priority is emergency stabilization in order to prevent further damage to life, property or natural resources,” explained Jeff Bruggink, BAER Program Manager for the Intermountain Region of the Forest Service.

BAER team surveys are rapid assessments of the burned area that evaluate the burned watersheds and determine the potential for increased post-fire flooding, sediment flows, and rock slides that may pose an unacceptable risk to critical resource values.

BAER teams consist of scientists and specialists from federal and state agencies who work together to present findings along with recommended BAER treatments to the Forest Supervisor.

BAER reports are also shared with interagency cooperators who work with downstream private home and land owners to prepare for potential postfire flooding and sediment flow impacts.

Although considered 79 percent contained, the Trail Mountain Wildfire is still burning is some areas. Firefighters are working to secure containment on the north and east sections. Highway 31 in Huntington Canyon is open, but travelers should drive with caution. (Photo courtesy of InciWeb) Closures Anyone planning to recreate in the vicinity of the Trail Mountain Fire, needs to know that wildland fires are constantly changing environments.

The fire conditions can change at any time and in a short period of time.

Be sure to check fire conditions and closure areas before heading out into the Manti-La Sal National Forest.

For information which details the closure area around the fire, see the map and description of the area online at: https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/ incident/maps/5830.

The following facilities are closed: Horse Canyon Trailhead, Indian Creek Campground, Little Bear Campground, Lower Little Bear Campground, and Riverside Campsite.

Is freedom celebration more important than the holiday?

Dear Editor, July is a month of celebrating patriots and pioneers. It seems everyone loves a parade and a good American celebration. We are blessed in Utah to have two such celebrations in July.

To begin this month of remembrance and celebration, the Spring City Veterans Memorial Association (SCVMA) will break ground June 30, for a monument listing nearly 600 veterans from Spring City. The ceremony will be at the site of the memorial on the Spring City Hall grounds at 10 a.m.

100 years ago, in June and July, a small patch of wooded area in France claimed nearly 10,000 Americans. The legend of Belleau Wood solidified the reputation of the U.S. Marine Corps as America’s finest fighting force. The German opposition, superior in number, was defeated by the Marine “Devil Dogs” and their Army companions.

As a veteran, son of a veteran, grandson of veterans, and descendent of Mormon Pioneers, I often question how many people remember or even think of the purpose of our July celebrations. I appreciate a good celebration as much as anyone but too often celebrating becomes more important than what the holiday represents.

It is easy to fly the flag, stand for it during the parade, and even cheer as veterans pass by.

“This Liberty will look easy by and by when no one dies to get it”. The words of patriots seem easy to repeat.

Freedom is never easy or free. Liberty and rights are bought and maintained at a price. Many times it is with the blood and lives of individuals who value the great blessings we have. Each of us can contribute to the cause of liberty and freedom.

One way we can contribute is by remembering and honoring

those who served the cause of liberty and freedom. “Our debt of gratitude to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude. America will never forget their sacrifice.”

The Spring City Veterans Association, in our effort to establish a memorial honoring and remembering veterans, find many people recognize this as a worthwhile idea. We appreciate the support many have given.

We received donations from patriotic individuals and/ businesses, many we don’t know, in Fairview, Mt. Pleasant, Moroni, Ephraim, Gunnison, Payson, Spanish Fork, Lehi, Carlin, NV; New Mexico, and of course Spring City.

Words and flag waving aside, money talks when it comes to building a lasting monument to those who served our nation.

We ask patriotic people every-

where to support and recognize our veterans and servicemen and women by donating to the Spring City Veterans Memorial.

This month of July as we celebrate our nation’s founding, is an appropriate time to stand and honor those who served our nation. The support of freedom loving people provided money needed to purchase a granite monument with concrete pedestal honoring veterans.

The SCVMA continues to seek funds to complete the site work, purchase and install flags, and complete landscaping in anticipation of a dedication ceremony over the Veterans Day Weekend. It seems most appropriate that we honor veterans with this memorial on the 100th year anniversary of the end of World War One. Courtney D. Syme Spring City Veterans Association

Equestrian competition fest returns June 29-30 MT. PLEASANT — The thrill of eventing is returning to Mt. Pleasant’s Skyline Eventing Park during the Skyline Freedom Fest, Friday and Saturday, June 29-30, at the Cleone Peterson Eccles Equestrian Center and ConToy Arena, 1000 South 955 West, for two days of equestrian competition.

Admission is free.

Located on the south end of Mt. Pleasant, the eventing park is Utah’s premier cross country facility offering horse race tracks from introductory skill levels through preliminary level.

The Skyline Eventing Committee encourages all to come experience the thrill in Mt. Pleasant.

On June 29, at 9 a.m., the two phases, dressage and show jumping, will be held most of the day. Then on Saturday,

June 30, at 9 a.m., there will be a mini event with dressage, cross country, and show jumping competitions.

The sport of eventing is likened to the equestrian triathlon where horse and riders tackle three phases of competition. Dressage demonstrates the training of the horse under saddle.

Cross country is a test of endurance and physicality where horses and riders jump solid elements at a high rate of speed.

Show jumping shows the grace of the horse by jumping rails and fences.

Through collaboration with the equestrian center and the city of Mt. Pleasant, Skyline Eventing is delighted to bring these events to Sanpete County and all are welcome!

The thrill of eventing competition returns to Mt. Pleasant June 29-30 with the Skyline Freedom Fest held at the Cleone Peterson Eccles Equestrian Center and ConToy Arena, 1000 South 955 West, during Mt. Pleasant’s Hub City Days.

Beginning at 9 a.m. each day, the equestrian horse and rider competition features dressage, show jumping and high speed cross country jumping. Admission is free.

Breakthrough: Eat less, lose weight Like many of you, I have goals. And, perhaps like many of you, weight loss is one of them. When I was young, people used to tell me that I could sleep in the shade of a barbed wire fence – that I had to run around in the shower to get wet. I heard all the jokes.

I was a skinny kid. I never thought I’d have to be concerned about weight. But times have changed.

It seems like weight loss or diet issues are always popular New Year’s resolutions. I know they are with me.

Years ago, there was a headline and a “sub-headline” in the Deseret News relative to weight loss that has stuck with me. It used to be embarrassing for me to bring this matter up in conversation because I’m a BYU graduate.

But I’ve gotten over it. And it’s just too entertaining for me to not bring up occasionally when I’m talking to people.

Here’s the headlines from the newspaper: “Y. Study Recommends Restraint in Eating” — “The Practice May Help Women Avoid Weight Gain” Profound findings, eh?

Okay – there it is. Read it again, if you need to, in order to let the significance sink in properly. It’s nice to know that my alma mater has been on the cutting edge of research.

What I don’t want to know is how much money was spent in arriving at the oh so obvious conclusion.

I couldn’t help but think of some of the BYU co-ed jokes I’ve heard over the years when I saw those headlines. The same jokes go around at lots of schools, it just depends on who’s telling them as to which school gets the hit.

Some of them are pretty

cruel. I’ll only quote one of them here: What’s the difference between a BYU co-ed heading to the cafeteria and a speeding bullet? Superman can stop the speeding bullet.

Of course these jokes are unfair. The population at BYU, like the U of U, USU, SUU, UVU, and every other U, has the full spectrum of the population. And having gone to BYU, I know that it was possible for me to “fall in love” a dozen times just crossing campus. In fact, I did marry a BYU co-ed.

Getting back to the Deseret News article, I think that the headline writer was the guilty party. After reading the piece, I think there was more science involved than what the headlines would indicate to the reader. The research project got into the eating habits, lifestyle and health of a study group of 192 middle-aged women over a period of three years.

If weight loss is one of your current goals, as it is eternally with me, good luck to you.

It’s probably one of the most popular goals that people have.

Heaven knows that is what we hear about everywhere in the media. People are making money off us as we try just about anything to shed the pounds. Diet books, special food systems, exercise equipment, pills, hypnotism – you name it; we try it.

But wait – forget all about that. Don’t forget, BYU came up with a new breakthrough that maybe we could all try.

Listen to this: Restraint in eating helps avoid weight gain! Wow! – What a novel idea. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll give it a try.

Sanpete Pantry completes parking lot project MT. PLEASANT — Sanpete Pantry through the sponsorship of Sanpete County was awarded a Community Development Block Grant of $111,885 in March of this year. Additional grants from the George S. and Dolores Dore‘ Eccles Foundation, the state of Utah, and contributions by many cities and towns in the county allowed the parking lot repair and improvement project to move forward. With help from the county road department, the project commenced May 1 and final inspection was completed June 7.

Primary contractor Johansen Construction, Mt. Pleasant,

and project engineer Sunrise Engineering worked closely with pantry management. “We are very happy with how the project turned out,” said Jeff Jarman, Sanpete Pantry board president. “The project is for such a good cause and everyone bent over backwards to make this work.”

Additional parking, additional handicap parking, storage areas for vehicles, additional space for the recycling program, repositioning the flag pole were among many improvements and upgrades. “This was really a community effort”, said Sean Kearney, board member. “Jo-

hansen Construction has had a long term relationship with the food bank and was wonderful to work with. Many of our communities contributed. The Eccles Foundation grant was the final piece of the puzzle.

With the completion of the parking lot project the major components of the modernization program have been completed,” continued Kearney.

“Over the last year, the Sanpete Pantry has worked diligently at upgrading our facilities to better serve our clients,” said Pantry Director Anji Caffey.

“With grants and assistance from numerous organizations

we purchased a truck, installed a walk-in freezer, upgraded the HVAC system, and upgraded our food storage, all at virtually no cost to county residents,” she said.

The Sanpete Pantry, located in the industrial park in Mt. Pleasant, provides free supplemental food up to twice a month to anyone qualifying.

The pantry also does limited deliveries to points throughout the county for those unable to drive to Mt. Pleasant.

The Sanpete Pantry Kid Pack program provides bags of food to elementary school children throughout the county.

Sanpete Pantry, located in the Mt. Pleasant Industrial Park, recently finished a huge project that included parking lot upgrade along with the purchase of a truck, installing a walk-in freezer and upgrading food storage facility.

SALT LAKE CITY — Close to 800 educators, leaders, and industry representatives recently convened during the fourth annual STEM Best Practices Conference hosted by the Utah STEM Action Center.

Speakers included ‘Science Evangelist’ Dr. Ainissa Ramirez, Lt. Gov. Spencer J. Cox and a panel of community leaders who spoke on the impact STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education has on society and economic growth and the importance of adding excitement to the STEM learning equation.

“There are thousands of high-paying local tech jobs going unfilled due to a shortage of STEM talent,” Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox said. “One of the greatest problems we have in our country is developing an education system aligned with industry needs.”

The daylong conference offered 52 distinct breakout seminars led by teachers, scientists, and nonprofit organizations. The seminars included hands-on learning sessions, discussion groups, and dynamic lesson demonstrations, all centered on K-12 education.

“Ultimately, when it comes to the way we teach science, we have to make a change, because the world has changed,” said Dr. Ainissa Ramirez. “We are in a very technologically rich society and we want to make sure that all of our children are participants. We want them to be pilots and not passengers through the 21st Cen-

tury.”

In addition to various presentations highlighting effective STEM education practices in Utah communities, KUTV morning anchor Holly Menino announced nine new Utah STEM School designees, and state Senator Ralph Okerlund received the Comcast STEM Dynamo Award in recognition of his efforts to expand STEM education among some of the most rural parts of the state.

“If we can’t prepare our students for the real-life applied learning that drives innovation, we’re doing ourselves a great disservice,” said STEM Action Center executive director, Tamara Goetz, Ph.D. “Providing educators with a forum for thought-sharing around what’s working in classrooms, and the information and tools they need to support STEM growth and engagement, is critical to developing the skills required to keep up with the pace of progress,” she said.

Frutoses named Moroni grand marshals MORONI — Mel and Glenna Kay Frutos have been selected to be the Mammoth Parade Grand Marshals to be held Wednesday, July 4, at 10 a.m. in Moroni.

Glenna was born in Payson, in 1948, but has lived her entire life in Moroni. She worked at the Moroni Feed Company turkey plant until 1980 and while working there she met Mel. Mel was born in Mexico in 1946, and immigrated to the U.S. in 1972 because there was more work and opportunity available. He settled in Moroni and went to work at the turkey plant. He then went to work for the Deer Creek coal mine, where he worked for 30 years, until he retired in about 2014.

Mel and Glenna married Jan. 25, 1975, and have been blessed with three children, Dustin, Amanda and Miguel; and nine

grandchildren.

Not everything goes the way a family wants, and when their son could not take care of his two boys, Mel and Glenna adopted them. Those two boys were only age one and two weeks old at the time.

The oldest boy is now age 17. Mel and Glenna have taken the time to raise the boys and have given them a fair chance at making a good life for themselves.

Glenna has been a great homemaker, raising the family and keeping a home. She likes to do word search and crossword puzzles, Sunday drives and spending time with family.

Mel is a hard worker and is very helpful. He tends to volunteer to pitch in and help when others are in need. He is also an avid gardener, likes to fish, camp and go hunting.

Now is perfect time to fish mountain lakes, moving water SALT LAKE CITY — Utahns looking to escape the heat and wet a fishing line know that fishing can be a great family activity and a perfect way to relax. It is nice that Utah provides several great options. Randy Oplinger, sport fisheries coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR), suggests some great ways to make this season one of the best yet.

1). Beat the crowds and enjoy the scenery while fishing a cool mountain lake in Utah’s backcountry.

2). Make a quick trip to a river or stream close to home, or, if there is more time available, take a trip to a scenic fishing hole high in the mountains.

3). Take the family to Willard Bay Reservoir or Utah Lake to fish for channel catfish.

4). Visit a big, scenic reservoir, such as Flaming Gorge, where anglers will find great scenery and likely some solitude too.

However, if anglers are not planning to keep the fish they catch, Oplinger, encourages fishermen to unhook the fish quickly and get it back in the water fast.

“Warmer water temperatures can stress fish,” he says. “If an angler is fishing a river or stream, put fish in areas where there is little flow: not too fast but not too slow. If they are fishing a lake, try to quickly release the fish in the clearest water possible.

Try not to place the fish in an area that has stagnant water. There’s not much oxygen in water like that.”

Oplinger also provides the following advice to help anglers have a fun and enjoyable time fishing these areas

throughout the summer: High-elevation lakes If cooler mountain air, spectacular scenery and good fishing are what an angler is after, consider a trip to the Uinta Mountains in northern and northeastern Utah, and the Boulder Mountains in the southwestern part of the state. The mountain ranges have it all: good fishing that’s close to roads as well as opportunities to hike to high-elevation lakes far from the crowds.

The Manti Mountains in north-central Utah, east side of Sanpete County, are another high-elevation option. “The scenery on the Manti Mountains is spectacular,” Oplinger says, “and the fishing can be really good.”

In addition to hiking to lakes on the mountains, riding an all-terrain vehicle is a great way to reach many of them. “A nice network of ATV trails has been established on the Manti Mountains,” he says. “The trails will get anglers close to many of the lakes.”

Maps of areas with high-elevation lakes in Utah are great tools to locate the lakes and see how to reach them.

The best topographical maps are 7.5 minute quad maps.

Maps can be purchased at the DNR Map & Bookstore, 1594 W. North Temple, Salt Lake City; or at local U.S. Forest Service office, Ephraim Ranger Station, 540 North Main, (435) 2834151.

Interested persons can also learn more about the lakes, and stay current on fishing conditions and success, by reading the DWRs weekly fishing reports. The reports are available online

Fishing a high-mountain lake is the perfect way to beat the heat and catch some fish. (Photo courtesy of Trout Unlimited) at www.wildlife.utah.gov/hotspots.

Additional online fishing forums, such as bigfishtackle.com and utahwildlife.net, are also good places to get information.

River, streams If one would rather fish moving water, three rivers in northern Utah, the Logan, Blacksmith Fork and Weber, top Oplinger’s list. So does the Provo River in north-central Utah.

“But virtually every mountain stream has trout and can provide good fishing,” he says. “Find a river close by, and give it a try. Some of these lesser known rivers and streams aren’t fished much, but they can still provide great fishing.”

If planning to fish a river or stream in southern Utah, don’t be surprised

if the water level is especially low this summer.

“Late August is usually when rivers and streams reach their lowest point,” he says. “This year, though, during a time when rivers and streams should be their highest, waterways in some parts of southern Utah have dropped to levels never seen before. We’ll have to wait and see what happens.”

When fishing a river or stream that’s running low, deep pools can be excellent places to cast a fly, lure or bait. “During low water conditions,” Oplinger says, “trout will often congregate in these deep pools.”

Catch channel catfish Fish at lower elevations can often become lethargic and less willing to bite as the water temperature warms.

Channel catfish are an exception, though. They don’t seem to mind warm water at all.

“Fishing for channel catfish is a perfect, close-to-home opportunity for those living along the Wasatch Front,” Oplinger says. “Willard Bay Reservoir north of Ogden, and Utah Lake, just west of Provo/Orem, are two of the best catfish waters in Utah.”

In addition to good fishing for catfish, state park facilities, including rest rooms with running water, picnic tables and covered pavilions, can make a fishing trip to one of these waters a great experience for the family.

Fish Flaming Gorge Those who have a boat, and would like to escape the crowds by fishing on a big body of water, should consider Flaming Gorge Reservoir in northeastern Utah as a good bet. In addition to spectacular scenery, the reservoir also offers areas with rest rooms and other modern facilities.

“Flaming Gorge is usually thought of as a good place to fish from a boat,” he says, “and it is. But there are some shore fishing opportunities in the summer too.”

Lake trout, kokanee salmon and smallmouth bass are prime fish to catch at Flaming Gorge in the summer. If fishing for lake trout, anglers are encouraged to keep their eightfish limit of smaller fish (lake trout less than 28 inches long).

“There are too many smaller lake trout in the reservoir,” Oplinger says.

“Keeping a limit of smaller fish will allow the remaining lake trout to grow to a larger size.”

Sanpete County’s namesake receives new recognition MT. PLEASANT — Little is known about Sanpits tribal Ute Chief Sanpitch, the father of Black Hawk and brother of Chiefs Wakara and Arapeen, for whom Sanpete County was named.

In “The Lost Tomahawk” the newest show of the Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area’s (MPNHA) award-winning TV series, Discovery Road, host James Nelson takes the viewer on a journey to find out who Sanpitch was and learn more about his life.

While telling the story of Sanpitch “The Lost Tomahawk” traces the journey of his tomahawk, which has been handed down for several generations in a local family.

Native American voices also offer insight into Sanpitch and

what he fought and stood for in those long ago battles.

In the show, Ute Indian tribe elder Forrest S. Cuch reads words spoken by Sanpitch during treaty negotiations: “Our people adapted to this land over centuries and it is a part of us. We’re not willing to break away so quick, these lands are sacred to us.

They’re who we are, we’re earth people. We’re native people of the earth with our heart and soul.”

“The Lost Tomahawk” is the third Discovery Road show focused on the Native Americans who were the first inhabitants of the area.

“Utah’s Blackhawk War-Cultures in Conflict” tells the story of the conflict that broke out as the American

Civil War came to a close and the Territory of Utah erupted with violence as Ute Indians and Mormon settlers clashed over the same land.

“Native Americans and Sacred Water” highlights the importance of water in Native American culture and art.

New Sanpitch map A new map of the Sanpitch OHV Trail, which covers Log Canyon and Maple Canyon loop, has also recently been produced by Sanpete County Travel Council. The map highlights the burial spot of Chief Sanpitch along with historical points of interest.

About Welsh Welsh immigrants to America brought with them valuable skills that laid the foundation for Utah’s early mining industry. Like other countries in Europe during the 19th Century, Wales felt the effects of the Industrial Revolution.

Rapid increases in population and harsh working conditions in manufacturing and

coal mining led to worker riots and clashes with factory and mine owners. The first Mormon missionaries arrived in Wales in 1840 and had great success in cities dealing with poverty and social conflict.

But for many of the Welsh converts, the promise of a new life in America was not always realized. Once settled in Utah, these Welsh immigrants sought to improve their circumstances, yet found their old lives were hard to leave behind.

Their specialized coal mining skills were naturally sought after by Mormon leaders setting up industries in an effort to create a self-sufficient economy.

In 1854, two Welsh miners, John Price and John Reese, were assigned to tap a source of coal located at the foot of the Sanpitch Mountains in central Utah.

Nearby the new mine, the two men established a town called Coalbed, which they later renamed Wales in honor of their homeland. The community was populated solely by immigrants from the British Isles, a little bit of home transplanted to Utah.

When a disastrous accident in the Cymmer Mine back home in Wales claimed 114 lives in

1856, the Welsh miners in Utah were no doubt reminded that the harsh and dangerous working conditions they had fled could someday become a reality in Utah.

In peak years, the mines near the town of Wales employed 200 men before giving way to larger, more profitable mines in nearby Carbon County. Those, too, drew many Welshmen and

their skills.

In 1900, when Carbon County’s Scofield Mine Disaster claimed more than 200 lives, many of them Welsh, those earlier fears of recreating dangerous working conditions were sorely realized.

Like many immigrants, Welsh settlers in Utah duplicated to some degree the lives they had tried to leave behind.

Street to Main Street and then travel west.

At 11 a.m., the Mt. Pleasant Fire Department will lead the children’s parade followed by the Mammoth Parade at 11 a.m.

At 12 noon, look for the restored and ugly tractor contest.

Located across the street east of Mt. Pleasant City Park, participants will show their prize

tractors hoping to win prizes sponsored by Mt. Pleasant City.

Also at noon, plenty of entertainment and vendor booths will be in the city park. During the afternoon performances by “Rock of Ages”, and “White Hot” will take place.

From 1 to 4 p.m., free wagon rides will be available at the park. At 2 p.m., free games and

prizes at the city park fire pit sponsored by the Mt. Pleasant Youth City Council.

At 2:30 p.m., the pie and cake contest with prizes will take place by the city park stage.

Entries will be judged by members of the Mt. Pleasant City Council. To enter call Coleen Oltrogge (435) 462-3034.

The Mountain Man Dutch

Oven Cook-off will begin at 3 p.m., followed by judging at 5:30 p.m. Sampling will be available for sale at 6 p.m. To enter the cook-off call Pat Gonzalez at (801) 367-9849.
