MT. PLEASANT—Former Wasatch Academy basketball player Caleb Lohner happily dances to the beat of the music in his own head. Brigham Young University’s latest basketball recruit has been described as a massive basketball talent, a surfer, a skateboarder and a terrific guitarist. He stands 6-foot-8 in his bare feet and checks in at 230 pounds, giving him a college-ready body. His long curly blond hair — recently trimmed to comply with the school’s honor code — makes him stand out on the court and just about anywhere else. The secret to his luscious locks, he said on a recent radio interview on ESPN 960, is a product called “Diva Curl.” “I’ve been blessed with curls,” Lohner said. “I don’t see a lot of people who have curly hair like me. It sucks (cutting his hair). I love my hair, but I’m all in with the program and it’s something I’m willing to sacrifice. It was hard for me to see it go but I can always grow it back.” He grew up a BYU fan since his father, Matt, was a walk-on for the Cougar basketball team in the 1990s. Caleb admires NBA players Gordon Hayward, Klay Thompson and Dray-

BYU basketball commit Caleb Lohner drives to the basket while playing for Wasatch Academy in Mount Pleasant earlier in 2020. mond Green for their styles of play but says that ultimately, his favorite player has to be Larry Bird, who retired in 1992 — nearly 10 years before Lohner was even born. Last fall, Cougar coach Mark Pope was trying to put the finishing touches on signing Lohner’s Wasatch Academy teammate, Richie Saunders, and
was in Mount Pleasant for a game. “This cat (Lohner) put on a show,” Pope said, relating the story on BYUtv’s “BYU Sports Nation.” “He hit a game-winner and was walking off the court while the ball was in the air. I was like, ‘Who is this guy?’ He has an unbelievable spirit when he turns it on. He rolls differently that
just about anyone else in college basketball.” Lohner exhibited some of that spirit and uniqueness when he suddenly announced he was asking out of the letter of intent he signed with Utah almost a year ago to enter the transfer portal. His uncle and coach at Wasatch Academy, Dave Evans, said Lohner was close to the previous BYU staff and likely would have committed to the Cougars as a junior if Dave Rose hadn’t announced his retirement in March of 2019. As he adjusted to becoming a Ute, something didn’t quite feel right for Lohner. “At the end of the day there were so many pushing and pulling factors during my decision-making that I didn’t ultimately choose where I wanted to go,” Lohner said. Now he’s a Cougar. Bracken Funk is a former Lone Peak and college basketball player. In his post-college days, Funk is the director of operations at the Renaissance Space Academy in Lehi. In his spare time he is the public address announcer for the Wasatch Academy basketball team, making the hour and 15-minute drive to Mount Pleasant for home games. He’s had ringside seats to Lohner’s
basketball development. He’s also the PA announcer at the Huntsman Center for the University of Utah men’s basketball team, so Lohner’s defection to the team down south wasn’t the best news he received this spring. “You can’t paint this like I’m really excited he left Utah,” Funk said with a laugh. “I think BYU got a steal with him. He has such extreme explosiveness. He can take one dribble, one step to the basket and dunk it. But the first thing I noticed in the very first game I saw him play was his first quick step to get around a defender, like an elite player does. He can create space and shoot the ball. He’s a guy you want stretching the floor for you.” Funk said he was impressed with Lohner channeling his “inner Dennis Rodman” as a ball-hawking rebounder. “One of the things I love about the guy is when the ball is in the air,” Funk said. “I can’t remember who they were playing — maybe Springville — but he had like 12 offensive rebounds in the first quarter. He just goes and finds the basketball. That’s one of those things some players have and some don’t.” Please see RECRUIT, Page A6
Local districts planning for VOLUNTEERS CARING FOR CITY GARDENS students’ return to school BY CHRISTI C. BABBITT
The majority of Sanpete County parents want their children back in the classroom this fall, and the area’s school districts are working to make it happen. North Sanpete School District and South Sanpete School District are finalizing their plans for going back to school in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. An order from the Utah State Board of Education approved by Utah Gov. Gary Herbert has set a deadline of Aug. 1 for Utah’s public school districts to release their school reopening plans to the public. Those plans must first be approved by each district’s board of education. Utah’s schools have been closed since March 16 due to the pandemic. Ralph Squire, superintendent of South Sanpete School District said his district sent out a survey to parents on July 6 asking if they wanted their children to go back to schools or utilize online learning. More than 2,650 surveys were completed, an approximately 82 percent response rate. Squire said the district received 400 responses in the first five minutes of the survey, which was texted to parents. The response was overwhelmingly in favor of classroom learning. “Between 84 and 85 percent want to go back face to face. They want the kids back in the classroom,” Squire said. Nan Ault, superintendent of North Sanpete School District, said a survey sent out to parents in her district in June had a similar outcome, with more than 80 percent of parents saying they wanted their children in the classroom this fall. Figuring out what that classroom experience will be like has been key to creating the plan to return to school, Ault said. The district has had to consider things like how to conduct cleaning and maintain social distancing, how to control movement in hallways and classrooms, and how to provide accommodations for people at risk. North Sanpete has ordered reUSD 75¢

usable masks and face shields for younger grades. The district has N95 masks for its bus drivers as well as glass shields for lunch workers and other staff. “We’ve tried to really kind of think ahead of what it is we need. … This is new territory, but we’re going to make it work,” Ault said. North Sanpete will be offering an online learning option for students in addition to classroom instruction, Ault said. A notice to parents on the South Sanpete School District website states that district is preparing to offer traditional face-to-face classroom instruction for all courses as well as online/virtual learning. “We strongly recommend students returning to the classroom with their teachers,” the SSSD website states. “Traditional face-to-face instruction with a teacher is the best scenario for students. We understand this is not possible for all students and in all cases.” Squire said the state provided a template districts could utilize in developing their plans if they desired, and the Utah state superintendent has been having weekly meetings with school district superintendents. Additionally, representatives of seven rural school districts – North Sanpete, South Sanpete, Juab, Tintic, Sevier, Piute and Wayne, all members of the Central Utah Educational Services organization – have been meeting regularly to collaborate as they developed their plans. “The nicest thing about this whole thing is it’s not just South Sanpete on an island. This is affecting every district in the state and every district in the nation,” Squire said. Squire said he believes his district needs to provide a school experience that’s as normal as possible while keeping the risk minimal. “We want parents to understand we’re doing the best we can and we’re not trying to make it difficult or hard for people,” he said. “We’re trying to meet their needs and we’re trying to meet requirements that are being placed on us as school districts.”
The Mt. Pleasant City Council would like to highlight the Mt. Pleasant Library flower garden located at Main and State. This flower garden was planted and is regularly cared for by volunteer Selena Mathews. There are five garden locations throughout the city that are being cared for by volunteers. Their efforts to beautify our city are greatly appreciated.
Trees, other items causing problems at Fairview cemetery FAIRVIEW—During the past several years, residents have placed trees, shrubs and decorations on gravesites throughout the Fairview City Cemetery – items that are now causing problems. For example, trees are now growing where new future gravesites were to be located and trees next to headstones have grown to the point where their roots are affecting other headstones. The city has announced that effective immediately, the city will begin removing these items. Residents who have placed items around their loved ones’ graves are advised to remove them. The following rules have been posed at the cemetery for many years:
nn Placing of monuments is done at the owner’s risk. nn All decorations must be placed within 6 feet north
or south of headstones. nn All holiday and funeral decoration will be removed after 7 days. nn All children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. nn No planting of shrubs, trees or flowers. nn Trespassing after dusk is a misdemeanor. nn No placement of monuments without cemetery approval. nn Removal of flowers, decorations or containers by anyone other than those authorized constitutes theft and will be prosecuted.

Letter to the Editor
Thanks to Scouts for hosting breakfast Editor: Much to my parents’ surprise and shock, I joined the Headquarters, Headquarters Battery, Eleventh Corps Artillery of the Utah National Guard when I was 17 years of age. I am proud of my service and have in the last few years enjoyed the American Legion
breakfasts on the Fourth of July. This year, however, most of the Legion Posts in Sanpete County did the French Advance to the rear thing and did not do any holiday breakfasts except for Gunnison. I would have attended there except for the fact that by
the time this old body would be up and ready to travel to Gunnison from Manti and get there, they planned on having stopped serving, so that was out. That left the Scouts Breakfast in Mt. Pleasant, which I attended. It was delightful. Plenty of food to fill my belly.
Friendly people and excellent service. It was a great start to a nice holiday. Thank you, Scouts, for filling in for the fear of many former military personnel. Good for the bravery of the future generation. Benton L. Petersen Manti
The Gardner’s Corner: Make your own effective organic pesticides BY RON MANN
Today, there is an unlimited number of chemical pesticides that will take care of almost any insect – large or small. Almost 25 years ago, I swore off using chemical pesticides for numerous reasons. Most important was their potential negative impact on the environment and our health. Over a period of 25 years, the most difficult problem I had was with the codling moth. Just before we moved to Sanpete County, a professor at the University of Oregon discovered a solution, and at the very same time I made the same discovery. As a result of this discovery, it is now possible to raise apples and pears with less than 10 percent damage caused by the codling moth. The moral of this story is that where there is a will, there is a solution. As a result of many wonderful people’s efforts, it is now possible to destroy almost every insect with organic pesticides. Following are a few recipes that will make possible a garden free of most insects without the use of chemical pesticides. Since most of the recipes for organic pesticides contain similar ingredients, I decided to take the most proven and successful organic pesticide and explain how to make and use it successfully: Recipe #1: This recipe will make 1 liter of organic pesticide. Add 1 liter of water to a container (2 quarts) and then add 10 drops of clove oil. (If you can’t find any clove oil, simply take one tablespoon of cloves, crush them and pour them into a cup of warm water. Let it sit for about 2 hours. Filter it and use it in lieu of the 10 drops of clove oil.)a Now add 10 drops of pure Neem Oil (Neem Oil is the best-known pesticide). If you don’t have Neem Oil, you can use vegetable oil. Next, add 10 drops of liquid dish soap. Castile soap is best; otherwise, use Dawn. Since there are several varieties of Dawn, buy the one with the least additional ingredients. Ivory or Nature’s Promise are also excellent choices. If you are concerned about wasps and

hornets, add 10 drops of eucalyptus oil. Now, thoroughly mix and pour into your spray unit. Before you spray all your plants, etc., you need to do a test of this solution. Spray one small limb on both sides and then watch it for two days. If there is no damage, spray your whole garden. If there is some damage – usually indicated by the edge of the leaves having burn-like marks – redo the solution, reducing the 10 drops of each ingredient to 6. As of this date, I have never had to redo my solution, so I am hopeful you will have the same success. You should spray in the evening after the sun has gone down. Also be sure and spray both sides of the leaves and the stems. This solution will take care of all the soft belly insects, aphids, mealy bugs, white flies, cut worms, caterpillars and lots of other pests. The next day if you like, you can wash off the solution by lightly spraying all your plants – this will remove the soap solution. Recipe #2: Take ½ cup of hot peppers and ½ cup of garlic cloves, cut or shred them and place them in ½ cup of warm water. Let the mixture sit in the sun for 24 hours. After the 24 hours, strain the mixture. The resulting liquid will be your pesticide. You can add one tablespoon of dish soap (same as Recipe #1 above). Using
the same method as #1 above, spray your plants thoroughly. Recipe #3 (for grasshoppers): It would be a good idea to try #1 and #2 on grasshoppers. Also, a sure killer is to gather a pint of grasshoppers and place them in a blender with ½ cup of water and blend. You can also add garlic or hot peppers to this solution. Add another ½ cup of water and 1 teaspoon of dish soap (see #1 above). Filter the solution and place in a sprayer and spray whatever the grasshoppers are attacking. This method can also be used to kill squash bugs; in lieu of the grasshoppers, use squash bugs. Then spray where you see the squash bugs. Additional ideas: Another solution to the grasshopper problem is to lay cut juniper boughs around or along the row of squash. This will tend to drive the grasshoppers away. This can also be used to protect your whole garden. We have used this with great success for years. If you live near an open field, it would be wise to spray the nymphs that seem to abound there this time of the year. If you don’t take care of them now, you will soon have a major grasshopper problem that will be more difficult to deal with. You can use Sevin (a chemical pesticide) as long you do not spray any area where you are raising vegetables.

It’s hot and dry — again People at church, often farmers, 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 half an acre of dry lawn. We’ve got zucchini squash in production and some crookneck squash we’ve started to pick. We’ve had a few tomatoes ripen. I hope to have a few cucumbers eventually. I have a tiny patch of corn, and that’s about it. Oh, I do have spaghetti squash and a pumpkin plant. 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 wall or 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-La Sal 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. I pulled this bit of information off the Utah Division of Water Resources website a while back: “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 going down fast. The waterfowl get a little confused as lakes eventually turn into dust bowls. 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 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, 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 makeor-break behavior associated with getting rain. I know 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 being 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 constant threat of fires and actual 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.

State ships more than 140,000 masks to stores SALT LAKE CITY—To help communities combat the spread of COVID-19 and as part of its “A Mask for Every Utahn” initiative, the state of Utah has sent boxes of #MaskUtah masks to Associated Food Stores, Smith’s Food and Drug stores and other retail establishments throughout the state. Grocery stores that serve vulnerable or underserved populations are being prioritized for mask distribution. This project is a collaborative partnership between the Governor’s Office of Economic Development, Associated Foods, the Utah Food Industry Association and Kroger to help protect customers and store associates. The masks will be distributed at grocery stores and pharmacies, hardware
stores, convenience stores and other retail outlets. Customers can request a reusable cloth mask by visiting a customer service station at participating retail outlets. Stores receiving free masks in Sanpete County are: nn Manti Market, 35 E. Union, Manti nn Terrel’s Market, 1050 S. State, Mt. Pleasant “For Utahn’s who haven’t been able to make or locate a face covering, the distribution of #MaskUtah masks to grocery stores and other retail outlets in Utah provides one more way the state is utilizing federal CARES Act funds to help Utahns and respond to the coronavirus pandemic,” said Ben Hart, deputy director
at the Governor’s Office of Economic Development and the state worker leading the initiative. “Using a face-covering in public is a gesture of respect for those around you, and an essential part of limiting the spread of COVID-19.” “As local grocers, we are pleased to help our communities by partnering with other groups to distribute these critical defenses throughout the state of Utah,” said David Rice, senior vice president, retail coordination for Associated Food Stores. “Just as a grocery store cannot succeed without each team member and department’s contribution, we recognize the same is true for us as citizens. We need one another to combat this illness to return to our ‘new normal’ as quickly as possible.” Using gro-
cery stores as a delivery vehicle for the masks — in addition to orders received at coronavirus.utah.gov/mask, and some targeted distribution to nonprofits and other groups that serve vulnerable populations — has been part of the initiative’s plans since its onset. To date, the program has received orders from 272,156 households requesting a total of 1,161,049 masks. “Local grocery and convenience stores and their frontline workers have been a critical staple in their communities during this global pandemic,” said Dave Davis, president and chief legal officer at the Utah Food Industry Association. “Partnering with the state of Utah to provide much-needed masks to its citizens is a privilege and a natural fit for our industry. Because of this partnership, our retail stores are now not only a hub for the distribution of critical food and cleaning
supplies, but they can also facilitate the efficient distribution of essential PPE to Utahns in need.” For this initiative, 1.25 million #MaskUtah masks are being made in the state by Utah manufacturers. “A Mask for Every Utahn” has saved or created 300 jobs in the state, according to the Utah Manufacturers Association, the primary organization that partnered with the state on the initiative. “Under this new normal,
Smith’s is constantly monitoring and evolving our pandemic preparedness plan. We are pleased to partner with the state of Utah to distribute face masks to our customers,” said Aubriana Martindale, Smith’s spokesperson. “As the country moves toward reopening, we will continue to safeguard our customers’ health and well-being. We are all in this together as we work to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and ensure our shared communities’ safety.”

OBITUARIES Lloyd D. Edmunds 1935~2020 On July 12, 2020, our dear husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather Lloyd D. Edmunds passed away at his home in Wales, Utah. Lloyd was born May 3, 1935, in Fountain Green, Utah, to Carl K. and Mabel H. Edmunds and was raised in Wales, Utah. He was the youngest of eight children (five brothers and two sisters). On Oct. 12, 1956, he married the love of his life, Sharon Bach, in Manti, Utah. The marriage was solemnized in the Manti Utah Temple on April 12, 2008. Lloyd enjoyed the outdoors. He made many cherished memories for his family that included hunting, camping, horseback riding, fishing and outdoor games that will be passed along through his children and their families. One thing that will be sorely missed by all is the wonderful stories he shared. Lloyd looked forward to spending his time with his 14 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren and his children: Allen (Karen) Edmunds, Linda Lucero (Rik
Dunham), Vickie (Steve) Szemerey and Kristi (Robert) Carrillo. He and Sharon built a legacy that will be carried on for generations to come. He and Sharon built a legacy that will be carried on for generations to come. Lloyd is preceded in death by his parents, Lonnie Lucero (son-in-law) and Mia May Brandt (great-granddaughter). Graveside services will be held Monday, July 20, 2020, at 10 a.m. in the Wales Town Cemetery. Online condolences may be offered at rasmussenmortuary.com.

Lloyd Brady 1920~2020 Our dad, Lloyd Brady, almost made it to 100! He was born in Fairview, Utah, on Aug. 27, 1920, to Jordan Frank Brady and Laura Cordila Garlic. Dad had five brothers and no sisters; the two following him did not survive infancy. The family followed their dad to nearby mining communities until they bought a farm in Fairview where he had most of the responsibility of keeping it running. He graduated from North Sanpete High School in 1938. While there, and later in college, he played the saxophone and loved being part of the big band sound. After two years at Utah State College, he married his childhood sweetheart, Bertha Howell, in the Manti Utah Temple in 1940. After several years, he got into the aviation radio equipment repair business, which became his lifetime work at several airlines in Las Vegas and Phoenix. They retired to the house they had built in Fairview many years before. In 2010, they moved to the Heirloom Inn in Price where mom died about a year later and Dad has been ever since. They are survived by six children: Darwin (Sue), Diana Coleman (Harold), Tanya Bender(Doyle), Frank (Lynette), Scott (Carolyn), and
over a decade before briefly moving to Ruby Valley when the Currie School closed. They later moved back to Fountain Green, Utah, to take care of her elderly father. She raised two sons and four daughters. She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and enjoyed many callings in Primary and the nursery. She and her husband spent a lot of time hunting for treasure in the old ghost towns of Nevada and Utah. Brenda loved children, es-
pecially babies. She doted on her grandchildren, loving them endlessly. All of her children’s friends called her Mom. Her soul was full of the Spirit and her heart was full of love. Kindness was her nature. Her smile was like the sunset and her love was like a warm comforter. She will always be loved and missed by all. “God saw you getting tired when a cure was not to be. So He wrapped His arms around you, and whispered, ‘Come unto me.’ You didn’t deserve what you went through, and so He gave you rest. God’s garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best. So when I saw you sleeping, so peaceful and free from pain, I could not wish you to come back, to suffer that all again.” She was preceded in death by her son, James W. Taylor; her father, Lee E. Anderson; and her mother, Patsy J. Anderson. She is survived by her eternal companion, Glenn E.
brothers: Alan (Austin, Texas) and Earl (Clinton, Utah). A fifth brother, Kent, died in 1974. Dad was not always social with strangers, but he loved his family and was always interested in their activities. Under the direction of Rasmussen Mortuary, there will be a short viewing at 10:30 a.m. at the Fairview Cemetery on Saturday, July 18, 2020, followed by a graveside service at 11 a.m. The family would like to express their thanks for the years of great care from the staff at Heirloom Inn, Price, especially during these trying times of the virus. Also, they express thanks to CNS Hospice and Dr. Sterling Potter.
Taylor, of Fountain Green, Utah; her children: Shasta Taylor of Portland, Oregon; Traci (Kevin) Bantanian of Salt Lake City, Utah; Dustin Anderson of Fountain Green, Utah; Elizabeth (Kevin) Bean of Ephraim, Utah; and Alisa (Luke) Perkins of Caliente, Nevada; 10 grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews; three siblings: Peggy Williams of St. George, Utah; Judy Anderson (Comish) of Reno, Nevada; and Mike (Beverly) Anderson of Everett, Washington. There will be a viewing on Friday, July 17, 2020, at Rasmussen Mortuary, 96 N. 100 West, Mt. Pleasant, Utah, from 6 to 8 p.m. There will also be a viewing at the cemetery from 10 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 18, 2020, followed by services at 11 a.m. at the James Yorgason Pioneer Cemetery, Northwest Highway 132, Fountain Green, Utah (.1 mile north of town on Highway 132).
Kanab’s Amazing Earthfest going online BY RICH CSENGE
The 14th annual 2020 Amazing Earthfest, reorganized online to protect the health of participants from the COVID-19 pandemic, will offer self-directed outdoor adventures, documentary films, workshops and seminars to stimulate discovery and learning. The free, all-online festival celebrating public lands in the American West will begin Saturday, July 18, at 2 p.m. on Zoom with music, reflection, thought-provoking commentary and inspirational poetry. The opening event, titled “Invocation to Sustainability,” is intended to forge connections among public lands enthusiasts by exploring the world of spirit, ethics, ideas and personal resilience in an atmosphere of mutual support. Interludes of music will bracket the program. Selections will include an excerpt from the opening movement, “O Fortuna,” of Carl Orff’s
1936 cantata “Carmina Burana” performed in 2018 at Libby Gardner Hall in Salt Lake City by the American West Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, and “Gila Monster,” original music for piano composed and performed by Navajo pianist Connor Chee. Recitations of original poetry by members of the Kanab Chapter of the Utah State Poetry Society will induce moments of silent reflection as well as stimulate and reawaken feelings of wonder and concern for the natural world. Award-winning screenwriter, author and filmmaker Stephen Most will deliver the keynote address. His remarks will address collaborative conservation, including history, key principles and success in advancing sustainability, citing the achievements of Aldo Leopold in soil conservation, forest health in the Sierra Nevada, and the return of cultural fire as a form of renewal in the Klamath Basin as
examples. Stephen’s latest documentary film, titled “Wilder Than Wild,” co-produced by Kevin White, will be screened online on Saturday, Aug. 22, at 6 p.m. After the film, Most and White will join the audience for an online conversation about our changing climate beginning at 7:15 p.m. on Zoom. An earlier documentary by Stephen Most, titled “River of Renewal,” about resource conflicts in the Klamath River Basin will also featured at this year’s Earthfest, with the filmed screened virtually on Saturday, Aug. 8, at 6 p.m. Discussion and response to questions led by Most afterward will begin on Zoom at 7:15 p.m. On Sunday, July 19, beginning at 3 p.m. on Zoom, Richard Jenkinson, former president of the Utah Rock Art Research Association, will present a program on the rock art of Snake Gulch, illustrating pictographs there with

Fairview plans July 24th activities FAIRVIEW — The 24th of July festivities regularly scheduled in Fairview have been canceled this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but a few events will still be offered for the public to enjoy. A patriotic light and music display is currently running nightly on the north side of the Dance Hall, 65 S. State, Fairview. The program is being presented from 9 to 11 p.m. and will continue through July 25. Those attending should park their vehicles in the CentraCom parking lot and tune their radios to FM 87.9 to listen to the music. The program runs for about 30 minutes and then repeats until
11 p.m. The classic car show has been changed to a classic car cruise along State Street beginning approximately one hour before the fireworks display on July 24. Those who have classic or restored vehicles are invited to join the cruise. In prior years, the city’s fireworks have been launched as part of the Fairview Demolition Derby. This year, the fireworks will be launched from the city cemetery at 10 p.m. Larger, higher-flying shells will be featured to make the fireworks visible throughout the city.
Funk began his college career at Fresno State but eventually transferred to BYU-Hawaii. Adjusting to college basketball, he said, can be a big challenge. “It can obviously go either way,” he said. “There is a lot of mental toughness in a player that doesn’t exist until they understand what’s happening at college. To be an elite college-level player you have to come in with a level of discipline. It will be interesting to see how Caleb handles that first year. It will be the definition of who he is as a player. You either learn what you need that first year or you don’t.” Lohner, who played his first two seasons of high school basketball in Texas, lived with his uncle while attending Wasatch Academy the past two years. Evans said lots of things come easily to Lohner, but that he is a hard worker as well. “Caleb would often wake me up

early, earlier than 5 when I usually get up, and he would be like ‘Hey, let’s go shoot. Let’s go lift,’” Evans said. “I’ve gotten calls from college coaches saying that they don’t know if he likes basketball enough. I would tell them, ‘You don’t know the kid, then.’ “He spends so much time lifting and training and shooting. Other times of the day he’s building a skate ramp or learning to surf, and he’s an amazing musician.” Lohner has joined his new BYU teammates in Provo, participating in pickup basketball games as well as individual drills. “I’m a very versatile basketball player,” Lohner said. “At the end of the day, whatever Coach Pope needs me to do, I can accept that and try to help the team win. What gets me really excited is that Coach Pope is recruiting guys with all the same mindset and all the same mentality that we want to win. I’m so stoked and so freaking pumped to get things going.”
