BAER team begins assessment of Trail Mountain Burn Scar FERRON — Steep slopes in Huntington Canyon have been a challenge to crews fighting the Trail Mountain Fire and now the Burned Area Emergency Response team (BAER) is looking at the threat these slopes will pose when post-fire rainstorms occur. The Area of the Trail Mountain Fire is just below the burn scar of the Seeley Fire of 2012. After the Seeley Fire, Huntington Canyon was subject to flooding and damaging debris flows. Recognizing that the Trail Mountain Fire may cause the same kind of post-fire events, the Manti-La Sal National Forest and its partners are acting early to begin a survey of the Trail Mountain Fire. Partnerships are vital to this effort since the fire will impact Utah State, Emery County, water companies,
municipalities, utility companies and private individuals. The slopes, combined with the loss of canopy cover, ground cover, and the formation of water repellent soils, can lead to an increased watershed response to short duration, high intensity precipitation resulting in increased run-off and erosion. Due to physical and chemical changes in burned soils, water collects on the surface of hydrophobic soils, rather than soaking into the ground. Floods and debris flows are the likely result when heavy rain hits the fire damaged slopes. On June 25, the BAER team ventured onto the burned landscape and into the air to begin assessment. Aerial reconnaissance shows the steep slopes and deep canyons that characterize the Huntington Canyon drainage’s damaged by the Trail Please see BURN SCAR, Page A6 Mountain wildfire.

During the Trail Mountain Fire operations, an injured person was rescued using a shorthaul helicopter and transported to a waiting ambulance. (Photo courtesy of Lane Lamoreaux)
OGDEN — On the morning of June 18, at 10:30 am, a hand crew was working in rugged terrain on the Trail Mountain Fire on the Manti La Sal National Forest, 15 miles northwest of Orangeville, when a medical emergency occurred. The requesting person wanted a hoist helicopter for a patient that was categorized “red”. The injury was serious, but not life-threatening. “It was going to take the whole crew to carry him out over difficult terrain,” a fire spokesperson said. Due to the location and the patient’s condition, it was deemed that aerial extraction would be the safest and most efficient means to evacuate the patient. A short-haul helicopter already assigned to the incident was performing a recon when the call came in to the command post. The helicopter returned to Trail Mountain Helibase to prepare for short-haul operations. After a briefing and conducting
mission risk assessment, the Teton short-haul crew departed from helibase for the fire. Once overhead the accident scene, a reconnaissance flight was completed to confirm the information they received in the briefing was correct and to establish radio contact with firefighters on the ground. The location of the incident was mid-slope on a charred east facing hill side and was just above a cliff band. At 11:14 a.m., with the scene size-up complete, the short-haul helicopter landed nearby to configure the aircraft for a short-haul mission. Two Short-Haulers, with the necessary equipment were inserted into the patient’s location. They completed a medical assessment and packaged the individual for extraction. By 11:41 a.m., the patient and the EMT (emergency medical technician) short-hauler were transported to an awaiting ambulance. The ambulance personnel took over patient care at
11:47 a.m. and continued treatment on the way to a nearby medical facility. The strong work and incident response by the Teton Interagency Helitack crew is greatly appreciated by the firefighting community and their dedication to train and willingness to react has provided support to a fellow firefighter in need. While this event marks the first operational short-haul extraction for the Forest Service, it is foreseeable that other similar events may occur. In the meantime, the shorthaul program is diligently preparing for future events and looks forward to supporting the U.S. Forest Service and all of its partners to provide the very best service possible.

Reader says cities illegally profiting from fees Dear Editor, In the Ephraim City charter of Incorporation 2/14/1868, “Section 7: The City council shall have authority to levy and collect taxes for city purposes upon all taxable city property, real and personal. Within the limits of the city, not exceeding one half of one per cent per annum upon the assessed value thereof and may enforce the payment of the same, to be provided by ordinance not repugnant to the Constitution of the United States or the laws of this territory.” This section sets limits to the activities of the city by the assessed value of inhabitant’s property. A Manti councilman said
“We can’t function on property taxes alone, there is too much property exempt, government and church buildings, and others, and we must have income from fees to operate.” Manti is in the process of building a sports complex. I have no objection to a sports complex, if it is sponsored by a voluntary organization like the Lions, but government forces all to pay for the benefit of a few. This is not freedom, but is what I see in most of the cities in Sanpete. This is the trend of the national government, grow and spend, for the benefit of the people of course, afford it or not.
Utah law tries to hold cities to this proportion of property evaluated tax base to the activities of cities. State legislatures did this by outlawing profit from licensing, franchise fee, and impact fees, which the cities generally have ignored. Utah granted corporation status on condition of obeying the laws of the state. If the condition of the charter is ignored or violated then the charter is null and void. An example of a valid city in Sanpete is Spring City which is meeting their deficit by cutting expenses and raising taxes. It appears that the seven
policemen of Ephraim aren’t valid policemen, but “hired guns” to enforce a disenfranchised organization’s will. This is anarchy, but a good reason to have seven instead of one or two policemen who could enforce laws limited to the Ten Commandments. I think it’s time to change the name of the celebration of 4th of July from “Independence Day” to “dependence on government goodies and guns day.” But if no one cares, everybody’s happy, and no one complains then, what the hey, I’m just saying. But there ought to be truth in where we are. Frank Crowther Ephraim Utah

OGDEN — The Forest Service recently published a Supplemental Notice of Intent (NOI) in the Federal Register to create a Draft Environmental Impact Statement, beginning a 30 day comment period. The Forest Service is proposing to amend the Forest Service land management plans that were amended in 2015 regarding greater sagegrouse conservation in the states of Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming, and Utah. The NOI lists several categories of potential changes, but specific proposed adjustments to the text in the plans can be found for each state at: https://www.fs.usda.gov/ detail/r4/home/?cid=stelprd3843381. Commenters are encouraged to comment on the textual edits that are being considered. The purpose of proposed changes are to improve the clarity, efficiency, and implementation of greater sagegrouse plans, including better alignment with Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and state plans, in order to benefit greater sage-grouse conservation on the landscape scale. The agency will use lessons learned from new science, scoping and implementing during the last three years to make revised plans more efficient. Proposed actions are intended to improve sage-grouse conservation and although some management areas, such as Sagebrush Focal Areas may change in name designation, limits to development and other protections will remain. After reviewing comments to the June 20 NOI, the Forest Service plans to continue the planning process with multi-regional draft and final Environmental Impact Statements, and have plan amendments finalized in the spring of 2019. To read and comment on the Supplemental NOI, visit: https://www.gpo.gov/ fdsys/pkg/FR-2018-06-20/ pdf/2018-13260.pdf.

Our stars and stripes MERRILL OGDEN
Sanpeters fly the flag. We just marked Flag Day two or three weeks ago. Starting with Memorial Day and then Flag Day, we continue with the summer patriotic season with Independence Day and Pioneer Day following soon after. Our neighborhood troop of Boy Scouts puts flags out in the yards of subscribers on all the flag flying holidays. It’s a fundraiser. It sure makes our neighborhood look good on those days. Visitors have commented to me on how nice it is to see so many flags flying. It feels good to hear their compliments. There are two or three on my street who fly the flag all the time and have night lighting for their flagpoles. The flag is a symbol. There are different levels of meaning and depth of significance among different people as to what the flag symbolizes. The World War II generation, “the greatest generation,” as Tom Brokaw called it, has a little different perspective than those of us who have followed. The sacrifice of lives and the changing of the American way of life was an experience that can’t be fully appreciated without having lived through it. I didn’t live through it, but I try to understand the spirit of those times as best I can. I feel a portion of that spirit when I stand at the beginning of parades in Sanpete when veterans from America’s wars take part in the color guard. I salute them and sometimes get a salute back. I did live through the Viet Nam War era and still don’t understand it fully. It was a complicated conflict with a lot of opposition and protest here at home. I was at the Patriotic Program in Richfield Sunday night. They showed a video about an honor flight for Viet Nam veterans, which have been done. There is another flight in the organizational stage with half of the money needed raised so far for 25 vets from the area. They fly the veterans to Washington D.C. for
visits to the memorials and other sites for a proper “Welcome Home” that so many didn’t get when they first arrived back from Viet Nam. The World War II generation dealt with a less complicated conflict in terms of a defined purpose. Regardless, brave men and women answered the call and served America in many wars and conflicts. We are now a generation that flies flags in the aftermath of the horrible Sept. 11 assault on America. We unite under the colors of freedom. We have troops half a world away in wars bearing arms for furthering of the cause of liberty. Many in Sanpete have family and friends who have served or will serve in far off places. We were in Europe, as a family, on Sept. 11, 2001. The major French newspaper Le Monde proclaimed, “We are all Americans.” For the fiercely nationalistic French to say that is significant. We saw quite a number of Europeans wearing shirts and sweaters with the American flag as part of the design. The people we met sympathized with us and made gestures of friendship. A Catholic priest outside the cathedral in Florence, Italy was particularly sincere. It was touching to have him commiserate with us. All of this was ironic because we had been told to maintain a low profile and to avoid the appearance of being American. Our flag has long crossed party lines and state lines in America. It seems that it also has the ability to cross international lines as a symbol of solidarity against the onslaught of terrorism. Betsy Ross would be proud. So fly the flag Sanpete. Let people know that we’re proud to be Americans. Regardless of anything else that divides us, let’s bond together around the emblem of our common blessing of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Even more now, in these times we live in, we face the fact that this blessing can’t be taken for granted any longer.

Container gardens can thrill, fill, spill JERRY GOODSPEED
USU Extension
LOGAN — Container gardening has become popular as planting areas in the landscape have become smaller. Some containers are used to grow vegetables or specimen shrubs, while others display a beautiful splash of color. For thrilling container gardens, consider these tips. 1). Containers need large enough drainage holes in the bottom to prevent soil from clogging the hole while still promoting proper drainage. If the drainage hole is too large, soil will leak through the bottom each time the container is watered. Prevent this problem by placing a large rock or solid object over the hole. This allows water to drain around it and keeps the soil in place. 2). Planters must be large enough to accommodate the root system of the plants. Often, annuals or vegetable plants are crammed into a small planter, and then gardeners wonder why the plants stay small or need excessive amounts of water. As a general rule, any pot eight inches or smaller in diameter will only hold small plants. Most annual or perennial containers should be a minimum of eight to 10 inches in diameter, and larger pots are more desirable. After all, the goal of having annuals is to make a large splash of color in the landscape, not a dribble. 3). There is an art to designing annual containers, often referred to as thrill, fill and spill. This refers to the principle of
Because of shrinking planting areas, container gardening has grown in popularity. (Photo courtesy of USU Extension) placing an upright plant in the center of the container that “thrills” the eye and draws attention. Next, the planter is “filled” with an accenting color and finally one or two plants are placed to “spill” over the sides to soften the appearance and extend the color. 4). The spike dracaena is commonly used as a center “thrill” for planters; however, many other plants work equally well to catch the eye. Some include red fountain grass, snapdragons, geraniums, salvia, coleus and dahlias. These plants reach a height of eight inches or more and stand
out in a crowd of annuals. 5). There are a number of good choices for “filling” a container with annuals. The most important consideration is to select those colors and flowers personally liked. Next, keep in mind that they should not overpower the plant used to “thrill” nor hide the plants that “spill.” Osteospermum, million bells, bidden, some zinnias and impatiens work well. 6). For plants that “spill,” there is the black-eyed susan vine, wave petunias, sweet potato vine, licorice plant, alyssum and lobelia. Some of these plants also climb, which can be both a plus and a problem when they attempt to take over the basket or move up a post. For this reason, flower baskets should be pruned as needed. 7). A critical component in the container is the soil. It should hold water, but also drain. A number of good potting soils are available at local nurseries and garden centers. Keep in mind that buyers get what they pay for when purchasing potting soil. Along with the proper soil, it is important to provide the plants with sufficient fertilizer. Normally this means either applying a slow-release fertilizer at planting time or using a water-soluble fertilizer every couple of weeks. Interested gardeners should stay tuned for the USU Extension’s live online container gardening course to be held in August. For additional gardening information, visit Garden.usu.edu.

Lone Peak head boys basketball coach David Evans resigns, heads to Wasatch Academy JARED LLOYD
Daily Herald
HIGHLAND — In just over three years since he arrived at Lone Peak, Knight head boys basketball coach David Evans guided the program back to the top of their classification and nearly pulled off the biggest upset in recent memory. Now, however, he has decided to take his talents to the private-school sector. In a press release from Lone Peak High School recently published on their @LPHSKnights Twitter account, the school announced that Evans resigned to take the head coaching job at Wasatch Academy. “It was a really, really hard decision,” Evans said in a phone interview Friday afternoon. “I’ve been so immersed at Lone Peak with so much travel and being with the boys that it’s been a painful thing. But Wasatch Academy is a great opportunity for my family.” Not only did Evans guide the Knights to a 6A title in 2018, Lone Peak had a shot to knock off the No. 1-ranked team in the nation, Montverde, at the Geico Nationals tournament in New York City in late March, coming up just short.
Those are just a couple of the memories that Evans said will stick with him from his tenure as the head coach of the Knights. “Being hired by Rhonda Bromley was an interesting experience,” Evans said. “I had no job. She gave me an opportunity when she didn’t really know who I was. That changed my life. Then to coach Frank Jackson and that group, then to see the team the last two years became a complete team, that was really special.” “That is what we try to preach and they bought in,” he said, “Winning state and going to the national tournament was incredible, but I’ll also remember the thing people don’t see like being at Lone Peak at 5 a.m. to workout. That’s what these boys are doing. The biggest complement I can give to these boys is that all have progressed as basketball players and as human beings.” In the last week or so, Evans said he was contacted by Wasatch Academy and started evaluating his options.

Tips help owners rent out space like a pro STATEPOINT — From city apartments to beach houses, vacation home rental sites like Airbnb, VRBO and others have become popular among homeowners and travelers alike. Renting out the entire house or even just one room, especially if there’s a big event coming to town, can be a wonderful way to earn extra income, but it can also expose the owner to unexpected and potentially costly risks. Before visualizing dollar signs, learn how to rent out a home like a pro. List through rental site Posting an ad is free on some vacation rental sites and eliminates some of the legwork involved. Some sites will verify users’ identities, provide guest and host reviews and let the owner set their own rental price. Have the insurance What if someone slips on a wet floor or falls down the stairs? While some sites offer insurance coverage for hosts
and landlords, other sites may require the owner to provide their own coverage to protect against these types of losses. And owners will probably need protection if they decide to rent on their own. It’s important to talk with an insurance agent about how the home is to be used, the potential liability risks and to make sure the owners are adequately protected against property damage and injuries. One company that offers protection is Erie Insurance. Deepen tax knowledge According to the IRS, if an owner plans on renting their

Sumners expressed his appreciation for Evans’s efforts in the press release that was Tweeted out, saying, “Dave Evans has been an incredible teacher, coach and leader at Lone Peak High School. His time and service have made a difference to everyone who has had the opportunity of working with him.”
Evans will now have a very different challenge than he did with the Knights. One of the biggest strengths at Lone Peak is the fact that many of the players have competed together for years before even reaching the high school ranks. At Wasatch Academy, however, the players come from all over and thus bring impressive talent but little connection to their teammates. “Right now the boys at Lone Peak play really well together,” Evans said. “They share the ball, play team defense and push the ball. We have to incorporate that at Wasatch Academy in a short time period, have to get everyone on the same page.” The Knights will begin their search for a new head boy’s basketball coach immediately. According to the release, “to apply for the head basketball coaching position, email Scott Sumner (ssumner@alpinedistrict.org) at Lone Peak High School. The position can also be found and applied for at http://alpineschools.org/employment. For those interested in applying for the position this could include a full-time teaching position.”

space for fewer than 15 days a year, the owner doesn’t need to report the money earned as income. But, many vacation rental sites will automatically document the income to the IRS, meaning the owner could get a letter asking to pay on unreported income. If an owner falls within that 14-day window, the owner needs to write a letter stating the income is not taxable and attach proof. However, if the owner doesn’t actually live in the home, then they must report the income. Rental expenses, such as for advertising or housekeeping, can be deducted, but don’t deduct any personal expenses. Budget for extra costs While it’s tempting to think about additional income, make sure to understand the fee structure and costs. Most rental sites charge either an annual fee or a percentage of each booking to cover processing and listing. Some take a percentage of the rental fee and may even charge a service fee to the guest once the house is booked. And depending on how much of the home is rented out, the owners may need to find another place to stay. Also consider the cost of supplies like linens, as well as hire a cleaning service to tidy up in between guests. Decide whether renting out the home is the right thing to do. If so, it’s time to start sprucing up the place to get ready for guests.

Karen B. Mack 1949 ~ 2018
THATCHER, AZ-Karen Blackham Mack, 69, returned to her loving Father in Heaven June 8, 2018, after suffering with Alzheimerʼs the last few years. Karen was born along with her twin sister, Ruth, Feb. 10, 1949, to LaMont and Olive Blackham in Moroni, UT. Karen was the fourthchild-of-nine and would later bear nine children herself. She was raised with her siblings in a loving home on a turkey farm in Sanpete County. She was a lifelong member of the LDS Church and attended Brigham Young University in Provo, where she met and married Gary Mack. Gary and Karen moved a lot in their early years of marriage while having children, working, and helping Gary with work and school. She was always creative and looked for ways to help supplement the family income. As a true jack of all trades, she used her many, many talents. The couple finally settled in Thatcher, AZ; where her children were raised and all graduated from Thatcher High School. Karen was very proud of her children and attended as many events and games as she could. Karen was always seen with a video camera on her shoulder capturing the different sporting events of each one of her children. She also loved playing games. One of her favorite times was Christmas, when sheʼd get new board and card games and spend the holiday season playing with family and friends. She loved being with her kids. Karen was one of the kindest people youʼd ever meet. She was always willing to help out and serve others and was actively involved in Boy Scouts, Primary and used her organizational skills to help young men with their scouting. In addition, Karen made missionary packets for missionaries as they left to serve their missions. She loved playing the piano and organ and would play primary songs whenever she could with her grandchildren.

New parents, ensure diaper changes become easy STATEPOINT — Having a baby is one of the most exciting, yet stressful times of one’s life. And one of the more daunting aspects of this experience for many new parents is changing diapers. Even if a person has changed a diaper before, they will now be doing this more times than one cares to count! Here are some tips to help ensure every diaper change is an easy experience for both parents and babies. Get stocked Beyond the official changing station and the diaper bag, prepare for quicker cleanups wherever in the house by storing diapers, a portable changing pad and wipes in multiple rooms, as well as maintaining an emergency supply kit in the car. Planning to visit grandma and grandpa a lot? If possible, make life a bit easier by keeping a small supply of these essentials at the homes of friends and family who are visited the most. Avoid diaper rash Many parents wait until there is a problem to kick rash and irritation. However, diaper rash cream can be an effective preventive measure when applied correctly. To help a baby avoid the discomfort that comes with diaper rash, get in the routine of applying a cream, like Boudreaux’s Butt Paste with every diaper change, directly on baby’s skin and also right on the diaper itself. This helps create an additional barrier between the diaper and baby’s skin. If the baby has diaper rash, parents will want a solution that works as soon as pos-

Trail Mountain Wildfire nears demobilization
BURN SCAR From A1
The group checked drainage’s in Huntington Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon. The reconnaissance flight showed the steep slopes, the extent of damage, and deep canyons, which have potential for damaging floods during storms. The BEAR team assesses the risks and works to reduce these threats through appropriate emergency measures to protect human life and safety, property, and critical natural or cultural resources. Manti-La Sal National Forest employees are currently building debris racks and other drainage structures in some of the drainages most impacted by the fire. The hope is that this early construction will help when the rain and floods come. The BAER team and Forest Service work with local cooperators who assist affected businesses, homes, and landowners to prepare for rain events. Among these cooperators are Emery County and the Natural Resources Conservation Service who are looking for ways to assist landowners in preparing for potential flooding. It is important that landowners work directly with NRCS and other agencies to determine appropriate actions needed to protect structures and other assets. The BAER team, which is made up of hydrologists, soil scientists, wildlife biologists, geologists, range conservationists, engineers, and ecosystem

Romney secured the nomination against state lawmaker Mike Kennedy after fending off attacks on his onetime criticism of President Donald Trump. The former presidential candidate was the heavy favorite to win the race in Utah, where he moved after his failed 2012 presidential run and is a beloved adopted son. Romney blasted Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign, though the two men have largely buried the hatchet, and Romney has accepted the president’s endorsement. He now faces Democratic Salt Lake County Councilwoman Jenny Wilson, though GOP candidates have a big upper hand in the conservative state. Romney moved to Utah after his failed 2012 presidential run. He’s known for turning around the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics after a bribery scandal and later becoming the first Mormon presidential nominee of a major political party.

Mitt Romney speaks beside his wife, Ann, after it was announced that Romney had won the Republican nomination in Utah’s U.S. Senate race during a watch party held for Romney as results come in from the primary elections June 26 outside of Romney’s campaign headquarters in Orem. this month he predicted that Trump would “solidly” win re-election in 2020. Romney was forced into a primary after a narrow loss to Kennedy in front of a right-leaning group of core party members at the state GOP convention in April, since neither won 60 percent of delegate votes to secure the nomination outright. Kennedy positioned himself as the homegrown, conservative candidate. Rom-
ney, meanwhile, argued that his national clout would give Utah a leg up. Romney raised nearly $2 million for his campaign over the past two months, while Kennedy took in $152,000. Romney is the favorite to win in November in the overwhelmingly Republican state. Associated Press writers Julian Hattem and Rick Bowmer in Salt Lake City and Michelle L. Price in Las Vegas contributed to this report.
