Business in legal hot water over opened email? ALBANY, NY — Email can arrive in the inbox cleverly disguised, appearing to come from the boss, a co-worker or some other person, business or organization that is trusted. But click on a link or attachment as instructed and it could bring on a headache. Perhaps cybercriminals have just been given access to the company’s data, and that could potentially put the business out of compliance with federal laws and regulations about protecting the data. Phishing attacks are one of the most common security challenges individuals and businesses face when it comes to keeping information secure, says Beth Haddock (www.bethhaddock.com), author of Triple Bottom-Line Compliance: How to Deliver Protection, Productivity and Impact. “The phisher’s goal is to steal sensitive and confidential information,” says Haddock, a compliance attorney who is also CEO of Warburton Advisers, a consulting firm that advises companies on compliance and ethical issues particularly when there’s a crisis. That information could include Social Security numbers, credit card and bank account numbers, medical or educational records, dates of birth and mailing/email addresses.

RAWPIXEL.COM — STOCK.ADOBE.COM

Businesses are at risk of email phishing by cybercriminals who seek to steal sensitive and confidential information. Fortunately there are steps that can be taken to protect the company data. That’s problematic because federal regulations may require that the business keep certain information secure. Just as an example, health providers are expected to safeguard the medical records of patients under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. Such compliance issues can create unwelcome complications for businesses, which is why they need to be proactive in addressing phishing. Haddock says there are a few steps they can take to protect themselves, including: Educate employees The first line of defense against phishing is employees, because they are the ones

likely to be targeted. “Make them aware of the concerns and tell them to be suspicious of emails that offer them links with little explanation, or that ask for sensitive data, even if it appears to be coming from a trusted source,” Haddock says. Who has access? Reassess who has access to data. Because employee mistakes are the most likely cause of a breach, retraining alone may not get the job done. A business or organization may want to take another look at who should have access to all that sensitive data, and make adjustments where possible. Take action If a breach happens, take action. A business can’t just

ignore the data breach, Haddock says. Right away, the IT team needs to be notified so they can get to work handling the breach. At the same time, she says, it’s important to immediately contact the compliance officer or attorney so they can take appropriate steps for reporting the breach to the proper regulatory agencies. “These ‘phishing expeditions’ from cybercriminals represent a serious challenge for businesses and for their compliance officers,” Haddock says. “It’s critical to be aware of the threat and to know that there are steps a business can take to reduce their risk and avoid finding them self out of compliance with regulations that govern that sensitive data.” About Haddock Beth Haddock, CEO and founder of Warburton Advisers, is the author of Triple Bottom-Line Compliance: How to Deliver Protection, Productivity and Impact. She has more than 20 years of experience as a compliance and business executive. Her consulting firm provides sustainable governance and compliance solutions to leading international corporations, technology companies, and nonprofits.

When changing jobs, consider that 401(k) PETER J. STRAUSS

Strauss Law Firm, LLC

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, SC — More people change jobs than ever before. The average American worker makes 12 employment moves before retirement, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. With all those transitions come important decisions, and high among them is what to do with their 401(k). Numerous financial experts say one thing a person usually shouldn’t do is leave their 401(k) behind with that former employer. Some 401(k)

accounts are “orphaned” or abandoned every year either by their owner, former employer or plan administrator. “It’s like cleaning out the old office; make sure to grab everything that’s important,” says Peter J.

Hot, dryagain People at church – farmers especially, talk about fasting and praying for rain. I sympathize with this idea. I’m a farmer too. Well, I have a little bit of a garden this year and what seems like a half acre of dry lawn. We’ve got zucchini squash in production and some crookneck squash that will be ready to pick this week. I hope to have some tomatoes and a few cucumbers eventually. That’s all I planted this year because of the drought. I continue to wage war on deer that seem to love the taste of tomato plants. There’s a family of deer that seems to have taken up residence in the neighborhood. I think I have some non-garden neighbors actually feed them for fun just so they can “be friends” with them. I still like my idea of asking Donald Trump to help me build a fence. I know that I’m living on land that used to be “deer lands.” But at this point of time, my political view is that the deer are “illegal immigrants” in my yard. I have a deed and they’re trespassing! The neighbors can continue to feed them if they want to, as “reparations” for being pushed off their “native lands.” I just wish that the Division of Wildlife Resources would put the “town deer” on a bus and send them back to the Manti-LaSal National Forest. I know, I know – the forest is only a hop, skip and a jump away. That’s the trouble – it’s a border war. The drought thing comes up seemingly every year. It’s not really surprising. Here’s a little snip out of the Utah Division of Water Resources website: “Even in normal years, Utah has a limited water supply. It is the second driest state in the nation. Most of Utah is classified as a desert receiving less than 13 inches of annual precipitation.” Have you seen Gunnison Reservoir and Nine Mile Reservoir lately? They’re dry. The waterfowl seem confused as they tramp around in what’s now a dust bowl. I’ve been hearing about water shortages and droughts since I was old enough to turn on a water tap and play in the sprinkler. Prayers in church for precipitation have been something I’ve heard my entire life. The phase “…please bless

nison, was arrested in Gunnison by the Sanpete County Sheriff ’s Office on the charge of criminal trespass. Bail was set at $1,950. Kevin Ray Syddall, West Jordan, was arrested in Sanpete County by the Sanpete County Sheriff ’s Office on charges of intoxication, alcohol restricted driver, interlock device and suspended driver’s license. Bail was set at $3,070. July 7 Tyler Ruben Armstrong, Manti, was arrested in Manti by the Sanpete County Sheriff ’s Office on charges of intoxication, disorderly

us with rain and snow so that we’ll have sufficient water to sustain our crops and gardens…” is something most kids around here can insert into a prayer without thinking twice. Sanpeters do a lot of praying for rain. Utahns, in general, are “pray-ers” for rain as well. Lots of times when people pray in public they’ll thank the Lord for the “moisture” we’ve received or pray for “moisture.” I heard that one of the church authorities in Sanpete had a comment on the subject. He told a guy who prayed for “moisture” that from now on this year, we’re not to pray for “moisture;” we’re to pray for “rain.” No more pussyfootin’ around with our requests from heaven. We want rain. Some people would have us believe that we are being deprived of rain based on our level of righteousness. “Keeping the Sabbath” is often brought up as a make or break behavior associated with getting rain. I know that there are some bible verses that refer to rain being withheld because of iniquity. But, I’m not so sure it’s that simple. I wonder how Matthew 5:45 fits into the equation “…for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.” Water is the lifeblood of the land. The pioneers who settled this part of the country realized that. When they arrived, there was no time wasted in getting to work on construction of reservoirs and irrigation systems. The development of these valleys into green producing agricultural areas is really nothing short of amazing when you think about it. It happened as a result of careful and smart management of our water resources. Regardless of how formally we’ve been put on dire drought notice or not, it’s probably a good idea to start or continue to be smart about our water usage. I know some towns are on schedules and restrictions. I hope we get some relief soon from the dry conditions and the out of control fires. I’ll keep praying and hope my fellow Sanpeters do too. I may even find a drum and start beating it like Burt Lancaster did in the movie “The Rainmaker.” Hey! – It can’t hurt.

account, it’s leaving money in a drawer, and worse, with compound interest growth.” Because of the tax penalty for early withdrawal, it’s not usually a good idea to cash out the 401(k) before age 59½. But Strauss says the advantages of having a 401(k), keeping it mobile with job moves, and continuing to grow it are vital for personal financial growth and retirement. He lists three things consider about that 401(k) when changing jobs: The employer match “That can be a great windfall, but it’s important to make sure the matching money is vested prior to that departure,” Strauss says. “Otherwise, if a person didn’t work there long enough and the match hadn’t vested, they are not maximizing the savings.” So when choosing to leave a company, Strauss says it’s important to consider the timing. “Find out if all the 401(k)

contributions have vested, so a person makes sure to get a bigger bang for their buck,” he says. “It may be worthwhile to stick around a little longer to make sure to get the entire company match to take with the exit.” Rolling into an IRA An IRA offers more investment choices than 401(k) plans do, Strauss says. And typically, IRAs have lower costs to operate because they don’t carry the administrative fees that 401(k) plans do. “But remember, just like rolling a 401(k) over into a new company, a person needs to execute the transfer properly, or else they will owe taxes and fees.” Roll into new plan This is the simplest option of moving a 401(k) after a job move. The funds remain in the same place and continue to grow. A bonus: 401(k) plans allow a person to borrow more than an IRA for a first home. “It’s a sense of comfort having a 401(k), and better, having one that’s not stagnant,”

says Strauss. “If a person, one day, goes from ‘employee to employer’ and runs their own business, they will have a heightened appreciation for it because of what it means to the employees. If a person is making a job change, they should not forget the retirement assets they have worked so hard for throughout their career.” About Strauss Peter J.

Eight reasons to consider canning food KATHY RIGGS

USU extension professor

LOGAN — Now that gardens are planted and fruit trees are showing signs of small fruit, many people begin planning how they will preserve the harvest – canning, freezing, drying and even freeze-drying. However, even die-hard food preservers may ask at times if the efforts of growing produce and preserving are really worth it. For more information on home food preservation, contact your local USU Extension office or visit the National Center for Home Food Preservation at www.nchfp.uga.edu. Here are eight things to consider: Emergency preparedness — Preparing for potential job loss, earthquakes or other natural disasters Economically beneficial — Whether food preservation actually saves money depends on several factors: if you are able to grow your own high-quality produce; if you own the correct equipment in very good to excellent condition; the cost of electricity, natural gas or propane; and the cost of added ingredients and supplies such as sugar, pectin, lids, bottles or freezer bags.

JOHN A TRAX JR

There are many reasons to home can foods such as flavor, quality and availability. There is also an emotional satisfaction too knowing the food is there when needed. A first-time food preserver may find it cost prohibitive to purchase a new pressure canner, dehydrator, or water-bath canner along with all the containers, etc., but those can be purchased over time. Time saving — When consid-

ering this factor, it is important to think beyond the actual time to harvest, prepare and preserve the food. The time savings actually comes into play down the line when the convenience of having a bottle of stewed tomatoes or frozen chopped onions

and peppers on hand to make spaghetti sauce alleviates a trip to the grocery store or time spent preparing these items fresh. Quality control — Time from harvest to jar or freezer is minimized when you can pick peaches in the morning and have them canned that same afternoon. Sometimes several days go by between harvesting/picking in a commercial orchard to the processing plant. Also, when it’s your hands sorting through the produce to make certain everything is cleaned and unwanted pieces are discarded, you are more confident in the overall quality of what you preserve. Flavor — In general, it is difficult to find commercially preserved foods without added salt, sugar, spices and in some cases dyes and firming agents or other additives. To a large degree, home preserved foods can be prepared with reduced salt/sugar and added spices in your preferred amounts. Health benefits — Those who have food allergies must always be on the watch for commercially prepared foods that have possible contamination from tree nuts, glu-

ten and other potentially harmful allergens. Besides the freshness factor, when food is preserved at home, you are in control and can ensure that foods are properly prepared for your family. Reduced sugar recipes for diabetics and lowered salt content for family members with high blood pressure can also be used. Reduced food waste — Home gardeners often produce more food than can be harvested and used fresh. For example, rather than having many stalks of ripened corn go to waste, cobs can be shucked, then cobs or kernels may be blanched and frozen. Remaining stalks can then be donated to a farmer to be used to feed goats or other livestock. Emotional satisfaction — The idea of producing high-quality foods for future use – and from scratch – can be very satisfying. The best way to feel totally confident in what is sitting on the shelf or in the freezer is to simply follow the approved guidelines and steps established by science and research; not necessarily from a blog, Pinterest or a Facebook post.

Susanna Bransford: Silver queen Editor’s note: Welcome to the Beehive Archive, a bite-sized look at some of the most pivotal and peculiar events in Utah history. Meet prominent socialite and millionaire Susanna Bransford, who built her fortune on the back of Utah’s mining boom. Susanna Bransford – Park City’s infamous “Silver Queen” – epitomizes Utah’s glamorous Gilded Age. But Bransford didn’t just inherit her fortune. She was a smart, well-connected businesswoman with an eye for investments – who paid her own way through life. In 1884, Susanna came to visit relatives in Park City, where she met her first husband, Albion Emery. Throughout their early years of marriage the two worked hard to “save every penny,” and in 1889 their diligence paid off. Albion and two friends had

a chance to buy out three of the original stockholders of the Mayflower Mine in Park City. Within a few years, the Mayflower – now renamed the Silver King – boomed, and Albion and Susanna were suddenly millionaires. Their newly acquired fortune allowed the couple to pay off debts and move into a large house in Salt Lake City. Susanna became an important fixture in the community and took on tasks such as representing Utah at the 1893 World Fair in Chicago. Tragedy struck, however, when Albion died with no will to clarify his business arrangements or settle his assets. Susanna found herself in the middle of a well-publicized court battle for her husband’s estate. Newspapers turned on the popular socialite, painting her as a greedy, ungrateful woman. In truth, Susanna was a

widow who knew she had to provide for herself. When she was awarded Albion’s estate and stock in the Silver King Mine, she became one of a handful of women in her day to control her own properties and finances. She worked with business partners to leverage her holdings in mines and real estate into an even greater fortune. Her investments allowed her to live a carefree life, full of travel, fashion, and extravagant parties. Susanna collected three more husbands, and lived in a succession of mansions – each more lavish than the last – including the glorious Gardo House in downtown Salt Lake. Susanna Bransford is notable not just for her glamorous lifestyle, but as a rare businesswoman who controlled her own fate and considerable fortune until her death in 1942.

FOUNTAIN GREEN-Larry Dale Gilgen peacefully passed away in his sleep the morning of July 3, 2018, from the effects of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Larry bore this trial well, and valiantly endured to the end with his loving wife, Mary, constantly at his side. Larry was born Nov. 5, 1936, in St. Charles, ID; to Karl T. Gilgen and Arvilla Ann Bartholomew. They divorced when Larry was a toddler. He grew up attending school in Phoenix, AZ; and spent his summers with his grandmother in Ephraim working on the Nelsen farm. After reconnecting with his dad when a young man, he moved to Utah and began working with Utah Power & Light Company. He met Mary through mutual friends in Ephraim, and it was love at first sight. They were married June 7, 1958, and later sealed in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on June 7, 1982. Larry and Mary recently celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. He served his country in the U.S. Army, spending most of his time in Korea during the Cold War period. While serving, he received four Letters of Commendation. He had a great love and respect for his country and flag, which had a tremendous influence on how he conducted his life. Larry worked for Utah Power for 32 years. He started as a groundman, then became a lineman working in the Salt Lake Valley. In 1973 he moved his family to Fountain Green to be the Local Agent for Utah Power out of their Moroni Office. He took an early retirement, but made it a point to keep himself busy because he wanted to teach his boys the importance of a good work ethic. He kept busy right up until the time his body would no longer let him. Hunting was a huge part of Larryʼs life, and was so much more to him than just the harvest. To him it was a spiritual connection, as it bonded him to his boys and other hunting companions. He always showed respect in handling the animals he harvested. He was always eager to share his unique consciousness of the beauty of the earth and all that Heavenly Father has provided for our use and enjoyment. Service in the community was important to Larry. He was a chartered member, serving as the first president of the Fountain Green City Lions Club. For 30 years, he boiled and colored 60 dozen eggs for the Lions Club annual Easter Egg Hunt. During his time in the Lions Club, he helped build the entrance gate at the city cemetery, trim trees on the city right-of-way, fundraised including the annual city birthday calendars and other projects. He and Mary served as advisors to the Youth City Council for four years. Larry also served on the Fountain Green Volunteer Fire Department for many years. Larry was a member of the LDS Church and fulfilled many callings including ward clerk, and service missionary for the Moroni Bishopʼs Storehouse. At the time of his death, Larry was a called temple patron. Family was EVERYTHING to Larry, and he loved his kids and grandkids more than anything. When it had to do with family, a tender tear was often found in his eye. His guidance, wisdom, and lamb fries will be sorely missed. We love you dad and grandpa! He is the husband of Mary Tuttle Gilgen; father of Jody (Kurt) Noakes, Taylorsville; Trudy (Scott) Benson, Cedar City; Todd (Denise) Gilgen, Cedar City; Cindy Bettridge, Cedar City; Scott (Jill) Gilgen, Leamington; Mike (Stephanie) Gilgen, Fountain Green; grandfather to 20; and great-grandfather to 13 with two on the way. He is also survived by brothers, James (Sheryl) Gilgen, Kamas; Hoby (Lesa) Gilgen, Morgan; and sister, Holly (Eric) Wetzel, Riverton. He was preceded in death by his father, Karl T. Gilgen; mother, Arvilla B. Hanson; step-mother, Dorothy Schmid Gilgen; and step-father, Albert Delgado. Special thank you to Central Valley Hospice, and especially Dr. Grant Rasmussen and Tyler Richens for your tender loving care. Funeral services were held July 7 in the Fountain Green LDS Ward. Interment was in the Fountain Green City Cemetery. Online condolence at rasmussenmortuary.com.

Utah Warrant Officers celebrate 100 years of service CAMP WILLIAMS, Utah -Warrant Officers from around the state recently gathered at Camp Williams in Bluffdale for the centennial celebration of the U.S. Army Warrant Officer Corps. Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox spoke along with the Adjutant General of the Utah National Guard, Maj. Gen. Jeff Burton. “Over the past five years, I’ve had a lot of wonderful opportunities, but at the top of those has been the chance to associate with each of you,” said Cox. “As warrant officers you represent the very best of our nation, you are the technical experts... but it’s not just your service here, it’s your service in the community when you’re not in uniform that also makes your service so valuable.” Three plaques donated by Zions National Bank were unveiled during the ceremony

celebrating the service and sacrifices of warrant officers and soldiers since the Corps was established in 1918. Utah currently has more than 250 warrant officers currently in service. “These guys save lives... because they understand systems and they make them work. That’s what warrant officers do, and have done since 1918. We’re very proud of you,” said Burton. During World War I, an act by Congress in 1918 established the Army Mine Planter Service, (MPS), as part of the U.S. Army Coast Artillery Corps. But long before any congressional action, the Army recognized a need for technical experts and leaders in support of mine-planting operations. Due to the constant flux in personnel, the Army Chief of Coast Artillery requested legislation in 1916 to help militarize the

U.S. Warrant Officer Corp recently gathered at Camp Williams to celebrate the centennial of being established. Warrant Officers are adaptive, technical experts, combat leaders, trainers and advisors not only in their line of duty but in the community as well. mine-planting vessels. Two years later, Congress granted the request. Along with the MPS, the act established the U.S. Army Warrant Officer Corps. A total of 40 warrant officers were sanctioned to

serve as masters, mates, chief engineers, and assistant engineers within the Army MPS. Throughout the war and beyond, warrant officers served alongside crews of enlisted mine-planting specialists in

support of MPS operations. Mine planting teams were responsible for the maintenance of underwater minefields to defend U.S. coastal fortifications at major ports, including the Panama Canal and Manila

Bay in the Philippines. One hundred years later on July 9, 2018, the Army still relies upon warrant officers to be adaptive, technical experts, combat leaders, trainers, and advisors, according to Chief Warrant Officer 4 Billy L. Frittz, the Army staff senior warrant officer and the assistant executive officer for Chief of Staff of the Army Gen. Mark A. Milley. “On the centennial of the warrant officer cohort, we celebrate who we are, knowing that every situation represents an opportunity to improve our service and support to Army leaders, soldiers and families,” Frittz said. “Today’s warrants are faced with limited resources, demanding conditions, and an Army that must meet the challenges of the day while keeping an eye on preparing and modernizing a ready force.”

Personal vehicles Special note: Personal vehicles are one of the number one causes of wildfires in Utah. Owners have the power to prevent roadside starts by following these simple steps: 1). Before hauling a trailer, secure the trailer chains and check under the vehicle for anything hanging or dragging. 2). Check the tire pressure to avoid blow-outs! Driving on an exposed wheel rim can cause sparks! 3). Keep vehicle maintenance up to date. 4). Be careful driving through or parking on dry grass or brush. Hot exhaust pipes can start grass on fire. By following these simple steps, people have the power to protect their favorite spots in Utah. Remember – one less spark means one less wildfire!
