Maurice worked in the coal industry for 37 years and Rodaleen is an excellent homemaker, mother and grandmother. Their greatest joy is spending time with their family, friends and horses. Both have been active in the community and The Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saints their entire life, and are honored to represent Fairview in the annual Pioneer Day parade.

Gov. Spencer Cox pleaded with unvaccinated Utahns to get the COVID-19 vaccine on July 1 as the state experienced a surge in cases and braced for the July 4 weekend. State health officials reported a seven-day average of 384 coronavirus cases per day this week, up from 324 cases per day last week and 213 cases per day last month. Many of the new cases are made up of the COVID-19 Delta variant, which Cox said is “more transmissible” than the RICK EGAN PHOTOS, THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE original virus strain. Gov.

She graduated from La Mesa High School in 1959. She then moved to Houston, TX where she met the love of her life, Jon Schuhmann. Loyce and Jon were married on July 3, 1960 in Houston, TX. Shortly after getting married, Loyce and Jon started their family. On July 4, 1961, a son, Chris joined the family. Soon a little girl, Terry April 25, 1963 came along. After living in Texas for a number of years, the family moved to southern California. There they added another little girl Kelly January 24, 1968 and then another baby boy, Michael November 27, 1970. While living in California, Loyce enjoyed her work as the District Office Manager of Lucky’s Grocery Stores. After joining the church in September 1977, they were sealed as a forever family in the Los Angeles Temple on December 1, 1978. After almost 20 years in California, Loyce and Jon and Jon decided to retire from their busy jobs and move to Utah. They finally landed in Mt. Pleasant, Utah where they have hap-

pily lived for 35 years. After moving to Utah, Loye and Jon had numerous businesses, but Loyce’s favorite was Jecs Office Supply and Craft Coop. Loyce loved being a business woman. After joining the church, Loyce had many callings. She served in the Primary and Young Womens. She was the ward shorister and sang in the ward and community choirs. One of her favorite callings was the Advancement Leader in Scouting. She had that calling for 8 years and at that time she helped 17 youngmen earn the Eagle Scout award that she was so proud of. Those boys were incredibly grateful to her and her dedication in helping them. Loyce was also a very devoted Temple worker and served in the Manti Temple

was interested to see the news of billionaire Sir Richard Branson’s first flight into space last weekend. He founded the private space flight company Virgin Galactic. Branson, 70, made his money by starting up many different businesses including airlines and phone companies. There has been a lot of talk of the competition between Branson and fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos. Both have space companies. Bezos will be taking his flight later this month on his rocket ship. I was curious about these two guys. I wondered how much money they have in order to be playing around with rockets and rides into space. I checked the Forbes 2021 list of billionaires. Guess who the richest person is in the world? You probably know this — Jeff Bezos is No. 1 with $177 billion. Guess who is No. 589th? — Richard Branson with $5.9 billion. The online version of the magazine says that there are 2,755 billionaires in the world right now. That’s more than ever. That’s 660 more than a year ago. If you need a worthless trivia hobby, you can check daily updates of the net worth’s of those 2,755 billionaires. Of course one of the first things I wanted to research when I checked Forbes was how many billionaires there are in Sanpete County. Imagine my shock when I didn’t find any. There are only a few in Utah. Matthew Prince, of Park City, tops the Utah list at $2.5 billion. He ranks 1,247th on the Forbes list. Billionaires come and go. John Huntsman Sr. said that he wanted to be broke by the time he died. He gave away tons of money, but I think he still had a ton or two left by the time he passed two or three years ago. The renowned Huntsman Cancer Institute was a huge beneficiary of Huntsman’s gift giving. At one time, James Sorenson was probably Utah’s biggest billionaire. He saw to it that his fortune was given away when he passed on in 2008. I remember him speaking at Snow College at convocation years ago. When one of his companies, Sorenson Research was sold to Abbott Laboratories, he kept a $100 million in stock, which at the time of his death was worth $2.7 billion. What is a billion anyway? It’s a big number that we throw around a lot. The state and federal government leaders speak in terms of millions, billions and even trillions all the time. In case you’ve forgotten, and need a reminder (like me), a million is one thousand thousands. A billion is one thousand millions. A trillion is equal to a thousand billions. Big numbers. And if those big numbers are represented by dollars — that’s a lot of money! Think about these billionaires who are giving their money away. It’s a big job! I feel a little badly for Bill and Melinda Gates. Can you imagine what it must be like to give away the kind

of money they’re trying to responsibly get rid of? Of course, now that they’ve split up, maybe they’ll independently speed up their gifting of money. And even though the Gates’ and Warren Buffet have tried to give much of their wealth away, it hasn’t been easy. They’re richer now than they were before. Think of poor, old Warren Buffet. He’s No. 6 on the billionaire list. He’s got a gigantic job to lighten his pockets of $96 billion. When my wife and I were on a little getaway in Omaha some years ago, I ate a steak dinner every night for four nights in a row. I wondered what kind of tips Warren, “The Oracle of Omaha,” gave the servers when he eats out. I like to think that there must be quite a feeling of joy when giving away large amounts of money. I know what it feels like to give small amounts of money to various people and causes. It’s a good feeling. I know what it feels like to buy a box of Girl Scout cookies. I know that’s not really giving away money, but it’s supporting a good cause. And that’s a really good feeling — especially as I bite into a Thin Mint or Samoa cookie. I wonder what it’s like to give away a billion dollars. Referring back to my math reminder, one way of looking at it would be that if I were doing a billion dollar give away, I’d have to give a million dollars away each day for a thousand days. That would be every day for close to three years. Whew! That is a big job! Of course an easy way to do it would be to write a check to the federal government for the whole billion-dollar amount in one shot. On the memo portion of the check, it could be written, “apply to the national debt.” That wouldn’t really be very satisfying however, because of the size of the national debt. If you are ever feeling too happy, too giddy, and too optimistic or just generally obnoxiously over-enthusiastic about life — go to the website: usdebtclock.org. That will calm you down and probably confuse you as well. It looks like we’re on a runaway train, which will soon have us at $29 trillion for our national debt. Debt per citizen associated with the national debt: $85,526. Debt per taxpayer: $226,794. Don’t let those numbers get you too depressed. On the flip side of all this billionaire talk, remember that you don’t have to be a billionaire to be happy. You’ve heard it said, “Money can’t buy happiness.” Others have said, “Money can’t buy happiness, but it will let you rent it for a while.” In reality, happiness comes from the basics of life. The basics include: family, friends, health, love, and service one to another. You know what I’m talking about. Having enough money to support those basic things is important. But the number attached to that needed amount of money is not a billion. — Merrill

Piping Up! Organ concerts celebrate 1st anniversary BY GENELLE PUGMIRE

The Pyramid

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit last year and put the Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square on hiatus, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints filled in the music vacancy with other kinds of concerts. “Piping Up! Organ Concerts on Temple Square” celebrated its first-year anniversary with a special broadcast at noon June 30, according to a church statement. The concert was set to feature each of the Tabernacle and Temple Square organists: Richard Elliott, Andrew Unsworth, Brian Mathias, Linda Margetts and Joseph Peeples. They will be performing on three of the famed organs on Temple Square: the Tabernacle organ, the Assembly Hall organ and the Joseph Smith Memorial Building organ. Just months after the worldwide pandemic suspended live daily organ performances on Temple Square — a tradition going back to 1908 — the Tabernacle and Temple Square organists proposed the start of the new Piping Up! concerts, which began streaming on June 23, 2020. At that time, no one knew how long the live performances would be paused. “The Piping Up! concerts are all about making connections at a time when so many people are starving for connections,” principal Tabernacle organist Richard Elliott explained. “The programs fill a need that is more than just a

need for music — it is a need for beauty, humanity, encouragement and comfort.” To date, nearly 3,000,000 music lovers from around the world, some who have never had the opportunity to be on Temple Square in Salt Lake City, have been tuning in for concerts and making comments of gratitude for the music and the opportunity to participate, according to the church. “We have been greatly gratified to find there is a much larger audience than we anticipated,” commented Tabernacle organist Andrew Unsworth. “The concerts have provided a focus for the organists and given us the opportunity to review and refine our music repertoire.” Luke Howard, a singing member of The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square and associate professor of music history at BYU, will host the

hance the concert for listeners. A particular feature of each stream is the “focus piece” for which Howard provides a

spiritual connection to the selected piece and how it helps people feel inspiration to bring them closer to the divine. For the first-year anniversary concert, an old tradition has been renewed, as Temple Square organist Peeples will be playing an organ selection piece determined through an audience social media poll, according to the church statement. The concert finale music selection will include all five organists — through the magic of modern technology — performing together Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, movement 3 (Allegro) on the same organ. Piping Up! Concert streams are available on The Tabernacle Choir’s YouTube, Facebook, website home page, the Temple Square Facebook page

and on http://Broadcasts. ChurchofJesusChrist.org. Audio will also be available on the Saints Channel 24/7 Choir music stream. Piping Up! Concerts continue to be available on demand. The weekly Wednesday organ streams, like those since the concerts’ inception in June 2020, also will be available for viewing on demand following the stream. Previous concerts are found on the Choir’s YouTube channel and Facebook page with the name of the performing organist and their concert music repertoire listed.

1. Determine moisture levels. Trees and shrubs need deeper, more extensive root systems than turfgrass, and they should be watered slowly and for longer periods of time than other plants. To save water and have healthy trees, withhold water until just before water stress occurs. This will depend on conditions, but will be approximately every few weeks. Leaf wilting and scorching are symptoms of water stress, indicating you may have waited too long between watering. Stress levels are different for different tree types, so take the time to learn about your specific tree’s water needs. 2. To get deep, wide root systems, soil should be kept moist to a depth of 18-20 inches for trees and shrubs. To determine soil moisture under your trees, use a long screwdriver or metal rod as a moisture probe. The probe will easily penetrate moist soil but will stop when it hits dry soil. As for the width of the root area to be watered, wider is better, and a tree’s roots will extend out a distance close to its height as long as water is available, so consider watering an area two-thirds of this distance. 3. Make sure your irrigation methods and equipment match the tree’s needs. Test your sprinklers by catching water in cans scattered around the irrigated area for a set amount of time. Small sprinkler heads that send a mist out can put out more

water than you would expect, but if you don’t irrigate long enough, you may not provide enough water to get past the grass roots. 4. Water by hand with a hose. This can be an efficient way to water if it is applied slowly enough to be absorbed by the soil. Consider placing a soaker hose or sprinkler turned on low over the tree roots during the coolest part of the day for 2-hour intervals every few weeks. 5. The amount of water needed for a tree depends on the weather and the tree’s drought tolerance. About one-half to 1 inch of water may be required weekly for shrubs and smaller trees with up to a 4-inch trunk diameter. Large trees may require hundreds of gallons of water per week. It is difficult to water trees adequately with a drip irrigation system because trees may need greater amounts of water than the low flow systems can put out. For newly planted trees and shrubs, water frequently until the root system is established. Mulch and control weeds and grasses around the trunk to reduce evaporation and competition for water. Trees are long-lived friends that have countless benefits. In our dry climate, they depend on us to supply water to keep them alive and thriving. It is especially important that we take care of them now so they will be important parts of our communities for many years to come.

LDS leaders join others to speak out for religious liberties BY GENELLE PUGMIRE

The Pyramid

In recent 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 June 28. 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 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 world. 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.”

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, 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 selfworth 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 peo-

ple,” Bochmann said. With refugees remaining in camps for an average of 11 years, caring for the mental and emotional health of displaced 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 full-range, 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

Curtis leads Republicans in launch of Conservative Climate Caucus BY CONNOR RICHARDS

The Pyramid

U.S. Rep. John Curtis, R-Utah, announced on June 23 the formation of the Conservative Climate Caucus, which will offer conservative solutions to climate change and other environmental issues. Standing outside the U.S. Capitol on June 23 with a half dozen of his GOP colleagues, Curtis described the caucus as “a place for Republicans to advance serious climate solutions that do not ask them to leave their conservative values at the door.” “Those who watch this caucus will see Republicans do care about this earth, deeply,” said Curtis, a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee who has long argued that conservatives need

John Curtis, R-Utah, speaks during a press conference at the U.S. Capitol on June 23 to announce the formation of the Conservative Climate Caucus. to embrace environmental issues. “We too want to leave this earth better than we found it.” The primary goal of the conservative caucus, according to Curtis, “is to bring members of

the Republican Party together to educate each other on climate policies that will make real progress in reducing emissions throughout America and around the world.”

The Conservative Climate Caucus is made up of over 50 federal Republican lawmakers from Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Washington, California, Florida, Oregon, Oklahoma and other states. Utah Reps. Burgess Owens, Chris Stewart and Blake Moore are all members. Moore, who represents Utah’s 1st Congressional District, spoke at the press conference and praised Northern Utah’s energy industry, noting that “we cannot continue to vilify our industry that has taken on this challenge, that acknowledges the need to address this.” “They are working on this, they are staying out ahead of this,” Moore said. “They are trying to lead the world in addressing this challenge. And so we’ve been doing this for a

icize Democrats for “socialist agendas like the Green New Deal” and “false promises that simply cannot be kept.” “We know what it means to lead with our actions, not just our words,” he said, adding that the caucus “lays the groundwork for a climate agenda that limits the strong arm of the federal government, empowers the free market and is rooted in the individual freedom that is guaranteed by the American dream.” The newly formed caucus received endorsements from a number of conservative groups on June 23, including Americans for Tax Reform, the American Conservation Coalition, the American Petroleum Institute, the Conservative Energy Network and the National Taxpayers Union.
