Two new Utah hunting laws now in effect BY CONNOR RICHARDS

The Pyramid

Two new hunting laws approved by the Utah State Legislature in this year’s general session took effect on Thursday. The first, House Bill 295, “restricts the baiting of big game animals (like deer and elk) when hunting in Utah,” according to the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. “In a nutshell, baiting big game is illegal if your intentions are to lure an animal to an area to hunt or harvest it,” DWR Law Enforcement Captain Wyatt

Bubak said on Wednesday in a press release. “Baiting wildlife can artificially distribute animals on the landscape, which can potentially result in habitat damage and increased disease transmission. There are also concerns related to the ‘fair chase’ of baiting animals when hunting.” Bubak noted that conservation officers “will be enforcing this law during this fall’s big game hunting seasons.” Hunters can still use bait during the summer months while they are scouting an area

that they plan to hunt in the fall, but “they must remove the bait before the hunt — with enough advance time that the animal isn’t still being lured to that area,” according to the DWR. “This is probably one of those bills that you’ve heard nothing about, that you haven’t received any emails about,” Rep. Casey Snider, R-Paradise, the sponsor of H.B. 295, told his fellow lawmakers in February, noting that the bill only makes “slight changes” to Utah’s baiting law.

Defenders of faith LDS apostles, leaders join others to speak out for religious liberties BY GENELLE PUGMIRE

The Pyramid

In the past two weeks, apostles and leaders from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have spoken out at various worldwide summits on the need for religious freedom. Elder Quentin L. Cook, of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, represented The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the inaugural Religious Freedom Summit at the University of Notre Dame on Monday. His Eminence Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the archbishop of New York since 2009, delivered the keynote at the summit. Three others then spoke: Cook; Dr. Jacqueline Rivers, a Pentecostal and the director of the Seymour Institute for Black Church and Policy Studies; and Rabbi Meir Soloveichik of Congregation Shearith Israel in New York. Cook said that too often today the good of religion is overlooked or viewed negatively. Borrowing a phrase from one Jewish leader, he lamented how many today are “tone deaf to the music of faith.” Thus, the apostle spoke about two of the blessings that flow from the religious impulse: accountability and good works, according to a church statement. “Accountability to God for our relationships with each other is a powerful force for good and strongly supports democracy,” Cook said. “Being accountable sustains and blesses the values that are most important for societal unity.” Cook noted how religion has moved religious people, such as William Wilberforce (Great Britain) and the Quakers (early America) to abolish slavery. He also

We must not only protect our ability to profess our own religion, but also protect the right of each religion to administer its own doctrines and laws.” He challenged summit attendees to “tack against the prevailing winds of disbelief and division. You will know best how to accomplish this and stand as a beacon of belief and unity in a world that often devalues both.” Elder Quentin L. Cook and his wife, Mary, stand outside the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at the University of Notre Dame on June 28. pointed to the animating force of faith in people such as Martin Luther King Jr., who promoted civil rights in the United States in the 1960s, according to church information. Cook said some people claim that upholding the principles embedded in the U.S. Constitution, such as religious freedom, does not square with protecting the rights of minority groups. He pushed back, saying that support of the Constitution and advocacy for “strong, peaceful efforts to overcome racial and social injustice are not opposites. Eliminating racism at all levels needs to be accomplished. And,

historically, religious conviction has been one of the great forces in accomplishing that goal.” Helping the world better recognize the good that people of faith do must be a joint project, Cook added. “My plea today is that all religions work together to defend faith and religious freedom in a manner that protects people of diverse faith as well as those of no faith,” the apostle said. “Catholics, Evangelicals, Jews, Muslims, Latter-day Saints and (people of) other faiths must be part of a coalition of faiths that succor, act as a sanctuary and promulgate religious freedom across the

Holland and Eubank

Cook is not the only one speaking out on religious freedoms. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, and Sister Sharon Eubank, counselor in the General Relief Society Presidency and director of Latter-day Saint Charities, joined other leaders in a virtual meeting on the mental and emotional health of millions of people in refugee camps and the support they need in expressing religious faith. The 2021 AMAR Windsor Dialogue Conference was held June 21-23 in Windsor, England. The conference was hosted by Baroness Emma Nicholson, chairman of the AMAR Foundation,

He was born November 21, 1949 at home in Sterling, UT to Lucien and Dona Peterson. He graduated from Manti High School in 1968. He spent a year at Snow College before enlisting in the Navy to serve his country in the Vietnam War. Soon after returning, he met the love of his life, Evlynn Peterson of Mayfield, and married soon after in the Manti Temple on August 12, 1972. Together they had four sons: Eric Alan, Andrew Lucien, Adam Lee, and Aaron Kay. Alan came to be the character he was thanks to his small-town upbringing. Being raised in a family where humor reigned supreme and town residents were not unlike those from the Andy Griffith Show, he learned that laughter was not only the best medicine, but an essential component of everyday life. Growing up in a musical family, he naturally developed a passion for it. He played guitar and sang both for family and community events.

Picasso kept in Maine house closet for 50 years is sold ASSOCIATED PRESS

AMESBURY, Mass. — A mixed-media painting attributed to Pablo Picasso has been sold after spending 50 years in a closet in a house in Maine. John McInnis Auctioneers, based in Massachusetts, confirmed that the painting entitled “Le Tricorne” sold on Saturday, the Boston Globe reported. The 16 x 16 inch painting is signed and dated in the year 1919. It is believed to be a study for the stage curtain Picasso painted for a ballet of the same name that debuted that year in London, according to the New-York Historical Society. That curtain has been on display at the historical society in New York City since 2015. The website liveauctioneers. com reported the sale price of the painting was $150,000,

plus a 24% buyer’s premium. Neither the buyer nor the seller was named, but the seller gave a statement on the website saying the painting was found in a closet of a home his father inherited from a female relative who studied art in Europe in the 1920s. “This painting was discovered in a house owned by my great aunt which was passed down to her from her uncle in the late 1930s,” the statement reads. “There were several paintings kept in a closet for 50 years (including this example) which were left by her at the time of the passing of the house to my father and now to me.” The buyer will have at least 120 days to authenticate the painting with The Claude Picasso Administration, which is managed by the artist’s son.

In what appears to be a ramp-up for the opening of the new Provo Municipal Terminal in the spring of 2022, Allegiant Air has announced another eastern route coming out of Provo. On June 29, Allegiant announced a new nonstop route from Provo Airport (PVU) to Austin, Texas, via Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) beginning Nov. 18. On May 25, Allegiant added flights from Provo to St. Petersburg, Florida, and Phoenix Sky Harbor airports. The flights begin the first week of October. “Texas has long been a desired destination for Utah County travelers — one of our top five requests,” said Mayor Michelle Kaufusi. “Provo’s economic momentum has caught the attention of airlines who see the strength of the Provo market, as well as travelers who are enjoying the convenience of ever-expanding flight options closer to home.” With today’s Austin route added, Allegiant is now flying nonstop out of Provo to Austin/Bergstrom; Phoenix/Mesa; Tucson; Orange County/John Wayne; Los Angeles (LAX); Denver; Phoenix Sky Harbor International; and Tampa/St. Petersburg, Florida; airports. “Now, more than ever, Provo travelers choose to fly Allegiant because we connect them from point-to-point without the hassle of layovers

or connections,” said Drew Wells, Allegiant’s senior vice president of revenue. “We’re excited to offer another world-class destination for their next vacation, with Allegiant’s unique brand of convenient, affordable nonstop service.” The new route will operate twice weekly. Flight days, times and the lowest fares can be found only at Allegiant.com. Allegiant offers a unique option to Provo-area travelers with low base fares and savings on rental cars and hotels. Travelers can book their entire vacation with Allegiant for less, according to a press release from the airline. To celebrate, the company is offering one-way fares on the new route as low as $39. Tickets must be purchased by end of day Wednesday. Seats and dates are limited and fares are not available on all flights. Flights must be purchased by Wednesday and are for travel by Feb 13, 2022.

Join The Club!

here’s an expression that many of us use when someone complains about something. We want them to know that we understand and sympathize. Or maybe, we just want them to quit whining about something that all of us experience. Here’s an example of what someone might say to me and then my use of the response expression: Someone: “I feel like my car is always in the shop needing expensive repairs. Everybody hates me and I’m surrounded by morons.” Me: “Join the Club” I use that “join the club” phase quite often. I thought a little deeper about it the other day. I thought about clubs. I looked up “club” since I wondered what an official definition would be. On Wikipedia, I got this very basic meaning. A club is an association of two or more people united by a common interest or goal. One of the earliest clubs I remember being associated with was called “The Dangerous Club.” This club takes us back to the earlier reference of “being surrounded by morons.” I was chief among the morons who organized this club. There were four or five of us in the club when we were probably nine or 10 years old. The “mission statement” of The Dangerous Club was simple: We do dangerous things and we think it’s fun!” Our clubhouse was inside a shed behind the house of my friend Duane “Fudge” Sickels. We had trophies in there from our expeditions, including a couple of black widow spiders preserved in little jars. And our most prized specimen was a scorpion, which we had caught and preserved as well. Besides catching poisonous insects, we liked to find scary ledges to dare each other to venture out on in the rock canyons west of Richfield. I’m suspecting that may be the reason that I have had, up to as recently as the other night, episodes of recurring nightmares about either ledges, heights, spiders and rattlesnakes. That’s not to even mention bulls. We’d dare each other to run across a corral with a mean Holstein bull pawing the ground. That boyhood club counterbalanced the Cub Scouts which was the other “club” we were in at the time. Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts are clubs of sorts. Space won’t allow discussion of all the clubs that I could talk about here. I’ll mention that I belonged to 4-H clubs as a kid. One year we raised rabbits as a project. The name of our club was “The Bunny Boys.” I don’t think the leader thought anything of it, but we privately sort of fancied ourselves as somehow very remotely, and mostly innocently, associated with the Playboy Bunny concept. Like I said, we weren’t very smart sometimes. When you go to the county fair, you notice that 4-H clubs continue in Sanpete County. If you don’t remember what the 4 H’s

are, it’s: Head, Heart, Hands and Health. I’ll fast forward through high school and college with those years of sports “clubs” and extracurricular stuff. My main “club” during some of those days was being in a rock and roll band. Practices were our “meetings” and playing at dances were our “field trips.” Once I was married, I was soon invited to be involved with “service clubs.” Most of us are familiar with the Lions Club, Kiwanis Club and Rotary Club. I belonged to the Jaycees, the Exchange Club, and the Chamber of Commerce at different times. I think that most of these types of clubs have had declining membership over the past few decades. I had fun and I think that some good was done. For some reason, the new generations don’t seem to be overly interested in their father’s and grandfather’s clubs. It’s a new world, I suppose. There are new clubs these days that people can join. The internet has created an environment for many to exist. I learned about a few of these clubs the other day on mentalfloss.com, Random, Interesting, Amazing Facts - Fun Quizzes and Trivia mentalfloss.com. There is a club called the “Secret Society of Happy People.” I know a few people who I could recommend for membership to that one. Some people are already annoyingly happy. And some, really need to become happier. An interesting club is “The Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists.” Another: “The Cloud Appreciation Society.” We’re talking about the traditional clouds in the sky, not the electronic, computer related “cloud.” I have a neighbor who I believe would want to join “The Lawn Mower Racing Association.” It has evidently “spread like crabgrass.” If you want to keep up with the standings of the club, you can follow their blog: The Cutting Edge. “The 20-Minute Society” is a club whose members receive a text which tells them where they must arrive within 20 minutes. This club started in England at Newcastle University and it’s all about “surprise and delight.” The members never know what might be coming up next as they have a surprise event every two to three weeks. I don’t know if the club has caught on in America yet. There are lots of ways to get involved to make a difference. Joining a club or starting a club can be a way to provide help to others and provide fun and sociality for ourselves. Some years back, a few of us started a club. It was part book club and part “go to dinner” club. It was a lot of fun for the few years it lasted. Our senior citizen organizations could use a boost in Sanpete. Maybe that will be my next stop on the club circuit. I’m getting the discounts; maybe I should join the club. — Merrill

Restrictions mounting for fire, Summer fireworks and target shooting WEBSITE BY RYNE WILLIAMS

The Pyramid

As fire season begins getting into full swing, numerous state departments are issuing statewide fire, fireworks and target shooting restrictions. This includes restrictions from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, including all state lands and unincorporated private lands, restrictions in Utah Division of Forestry, Fire, and State lands, and also restrictions on the Bureau of Land Management lands starting Wednesday. While the restrictions vary, many do not allow for open fires unless in constructed fire pits; no grinding, cutting or welding metal; no smoking unless in an enclosed vehicle, building, developed recreation site, or while in a paved area free of vegetation; and more. While Utah County may have over 600,000 people currently, Utah County Sheriff’s Office PIO Sergeant Spencer Cannon said that there is still a lot of open areas in the county. This includes areas where people recreate, private property, farmlands and canyons where people enjoy the outdoors. He added that those areas are where wildfires are started because people having campfires where they are not permitted, people being reckless with fire or people target shooting. Cannon said that on Monday a small fire was started

Smoke rises from the Pole Canyon Fire as it burns most on the other side of the mountain range southwest of Cedar Fort on July 15, 2020. in Diamond Fork Canyon due to target practice, but fire crews were able to get to the fire quickly and minimize the spread. “The Division of Wildlife Resources has, however, instituted target shooting and fire restrictions on the wildlife management areas throughout Utah, and we have 16 of those in Utah County,” Cannon said. “The state actually issued two orders, one related to fires and the other related to fireworks on those same lands and it’s critical that we follow those things. Everyone loves sitting around a campfire, roasting hot dogs, making s’mores, or just socializing but we have to find some other way to do it if people are not in an area where it can be done legally and safely.” The areas included in the restrictions do not include

incorporated areas, only state, and private unincorporated lands, but Cannon said he expects cities to begin to in-

stitute their own regulations with regards to fires and fireworks. When asked about July 4 and the Pioneer Day, holidays many Utahns celebrate with fireworks, Cannon said they are challenging times and the UCSO is understanding of that want to celebrate. Along with the holiday, cities normally set up regulations with certain areas allowed for people to light fireworks but Cannon brought up that even with those instances fireworks have started fires.

Hunting From A1

The bill, which passed 63-6 in the House and 22-5 in the Senate, defines baiting as “intentionally placing food or nutrient substances to manipulate the behavior of wildlife for the purpose of hunting or attempting to harvest big game.” Violations under the new baiting law “may result in criminal charges ranging from a class B misdemeanor to a third-degree felony, and may also lead to the suspension of one’s hunting privileges,” according to the DWR. Any information or tips about big game hunters using bait can be reported by calling 1-800-662-3337 or through the UTDWR mobile app. The second law, H.B. 197, prohibits the DWR from issuing a fishing or hunting license to anyone that owes at least $2,500 “on an arrearage obligation of child support based on an administrative or judicial order.” The bill, sponsored by Rep. Karianne Lisonbee, R-Clearfield, in-

cludes exemptions for individuals who have “obtained a judicial order staying enforcement of the individual’s obligation on the amount in arrears.” In February, Lisonbee told her colleagues that, as of September 2019, the Utah Office of Recovery Services has reported about $399 million in past due child support from 86,000 cases involving 112,000 children. H.B. 197 passed 68-4 in the House and 26-1 in the Senate. In a written statement, DWR Administrative Section Chief Kenny Johnson said the agency “recognize(s) that hunting and fishing activities help maintain family relationships, and we support any effort that will help those relationships stay intact.” “We want individuals to be aware that this law is going into effect July 1 and want them to start making plans now so they are not caught off guard when they try to buy a hunting or fishing license, or obtaining upcoming hunting season permits,” Johnson said.

Faith From A1

and conducted by the Right Rev. Dr. Alastair Redfern of the Anglican faith. The summit brought together faith leaders, academics and government representatives to address the impact of worldwide religious persecution. Holland emphasized that “we can’t just throw money at” the humanitarian crisis in which 90 million refugees have been driven from their homes. “We still have to make sure that there’s something far more powerful and more intangible than that,” Holland said. “And that is the very religious faith that gives them their identity.” “Let’s make sure we give them that opportunity to continue their hope, their expression, their love of God or their relationship with God in whatever way it is that they believe,” Holland added. Elder Holland underlined the essential place of music in religious worship and in boosting the individual sense of self-worth among refugees and internally displaced people. “We need to give to people the bonds that tie them together and that make them who they are, and music is going to be one of those, and music has been one of those

for us. They are tied together with this incredible bond,” Holland said. The Windsor conference gave special emphasis to the plight of the oppressed Yazidi religious minority of northern Iraq. Baroness Nicholson described how terrorist groups had targeted cultural expression. “Music is at the heart of everyone’s faith and the Yazidis were not able to practice music in the camps, ISIS were shooting the priests,” Nicholson said. Professor Michael Bochmann, professor of violin and chamber music at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, related how AMAR and their partners had supported the cultural and musical needs of the Yazidis, including the recording and promotion of Yazidi music and choral groups. He expressed gratitude for Latter-day Saint Charities in their support of AMAR and said working with Eubank and Nicholson was “a really high point in my life. We’ve brought joy to the Yazidis living in the camps, we’ve created a choir and we’ve preserved the religious music of the Yazidi people,” Bochmann said. With refugees remaining in camps for an average of 11 years, caring for the mental and emotional health of dis-

placed people is critical. Eubank said, “Many, many of them saw their families killed in front of their eyes, or they experienced horrific sexual violence or many other very, very difficult things. And that trauma is like a time bomb; it sits under their skin and it’s just waiting to go off. It must be gently let out in a safe environment and processed with great skill or the person is forever paused at this intersection.” Citing research conducted within camps in Jordan by the Center for Mind Body Medicine, Eubank said that 32% of Syrian refugee adults report feeling so hopeless that they do not want to continue living. “The problem is so big and acute that no one can crack it,” she said. “It will take a coalition with all playing different roles.” Latter-day Saint Charities has learned valuable lessons with partners, from experiences in other parts of the world where need is also acute. Eubank offered “three critical suggestions” from these experiences. “One, recognition that spiritual healing is powerful medicine and vital to services. Two, offer basic emotional and spiritual care, including examples of others who have recovered and how they

found relief. Three, connect the dots of emotional and spiritual care for a fullrange, consistent plan.” Boyce Fitzgerald, who oversees the Latter-day Saints’ humanitarian outreach in the Middle East/ Africa North Area, addressed the practical response to individual needs and in working with local partners. There is increasing emphasis on helping families maintain livelihoods through education and self-reliance. At a time when religious

persecution drives forced migration for millions, Elder Gary B. Sabin, Europe Area president for the LDS Church, referenced the Latter-day Saints’ own early experience of religious oppression and highlighted the principle of religious freedom. “It is the responsibility of all people of faith and conscience to understand and to advance this fundamental human freedom for themselves and for all of our neighbors,” he said. “For us,

our history’s lesson still lingers; it is clear that religious freedom is not to be taken for granted.” Daily Herald reporter Genelle Pugmire can be contacted at gpugmire@heraldextra.com, (801) 344-2910, Twitter @gpugmire
