Miss Sanpete County Ally Brotherson and Miss Sanpete County’s Outstanding Teen Taylor Palmer have completed their year of service. They will now pass on their titles and responsibilities to two young ladies at the upcoming Miss Sanpete County/Miss Sanpete Teen Competition to be held on Saturday, Aug. 1, at 7 p.m. in the Snow College Eccles Performing Arts Center in Ephraim. Ally Brotherson has served Sanpete County with dedication and energy, focusing on her Social Impact Initiative L.I.V.E. (Learn the needs, Become involved, Volunteer, Enthusiastically). She traveled throughout the county to participate in community events and parades, and participated in fundraisers and other events to support the Children’s Miracle Network and Soles4Souls, a nonprofit that collects unwanted shoes for distribution to others in need. One of the primary responsibilities of Miss Sanpete County and Miss Sanpete County’s Outstanding Teen is the implementation and execution of her Social Impact Initiative. In this endeavor, she selects a social issue that she can be an advocate for. She develops a plan and puts it into action throughout the year. In addition, she is a role model for young women, and she encourages girls and young women to develop their leadership skills and get involved in their communities. Through her year of service,

Brotherson has worked diligently to promote her Social Impact Initiative. “I hope I have shown Sanpete County that there is a significant need for volunteers in our community. Most of our events are run by volunteers,” she said. To promote volunteerism in the Sanpete community, Brotherson looked for opportunities to serve and get involved. She and her attendants visited many of the communities in the county where they were able to serve at various events. Brotherson’s goal was to find ways to serve and demonstrate that it’s
easy to get involved. A highlight of Brotherson’s year of service was the opportunity to serve on the UServe Utah Youth Council. Under the direction of Utah Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox, the council’s objective is to combat the lack of youth volunteers by finding creative ways to help youth get involved. “My Social Impact Initiative is something I’m very passionate about,” Brotherson said. “I plan to further continue because volunteerism is something that is a big part of my life, and I want to spread the joy it gives me and to others.”
A traditional responsibility of Miss Sanpete County is to compete at the Miss Utah competition, but due to COVID-19 the state competition was cancelled and Brotherson’s shot at the state title was postponed. She plans to compete in 2021. As for her most memorable experience, Brotherson said serving at the Sanpete County Fair was at the top of the list. “I loved every second of the derby. Oddly enough, riding on the hood of a derby car for Grand Entry was at the top of my bucket list as Miss Sanpete County,” she said. As her year of service comes to a close and she prepares to relinquish her title and pass on the responsibility of Miss Sanpete County to one of six young ladies who will be competing for the job, Brotherson is optimistic about the future. She plans to use her Miss Sanpete County scholarship to continue her education at Snow College in the fall and then transfer to the University of Utah. Her ultimate goal is to obtain a doctoral degree in dentistry, specializing in orthodontia. Brotherson is the daughter of Rich and Molly Brotherson of Mount Pleasant. Taylor Palmer is Miss Sanpete County’s Outstanding Teen, 2019. In this role, Palmer has spent time and effort working on her Social Impact Initiative, providing service to community organizations and representing the county at the State
Outstanding Teen competition in February. “Soak up the Sun: Encouraging Everyone to get Enough Vitamin D” was Palmer’s focus with her Social Impact Initiative. She planned an event to increase awareness about the importance of getting enough Vitamin D during the winter months when people tend to get less sun exposure and need a natural boost of Vitamin D. Palmer also planned an ice cream activity with 15 girls (with COVID-19 limitations) and taught them about Vitamin D and how this essential nutrient plays an important part in lifting mood naturally. Her most memorable experience as Miss Sanpete County’s Outstanding Teen was participating during the county fair. “My favorite event was the Pie Eating contest because not only did we get to help, but we also got to participate,” she said. Something unique about Palmer is that she performs a juggling routine for her talent. This drew some attention at the state competition, and when asked how she would like to be remembered, Palmer answered she wanted to be remembered as the girl that juggled. However, as she reflects back on her year of service that has been, in her words, the most eventful but Please see MISS SANPETE, Page A6

MT. PLEASANT—Street-style drag racing will have cars reaching speeds of 140 mph or more during the Rocky Mountain Cash Days event planned for Saturday, Aug. 1. Open to the public, the high-excitement event will take place at the old Mt. Pleasant Airport located on the south end of the city. Sixty cars from several different states will be at the event to compete in four different classes and try to win their portion of $15,000 in prize money. Spectators can begin arriving at 9 a.m.; admission is $12 per person (ages 12 and younger are free). Bleacher seating is available, but those attending are also invited to bring their own lawn chairs and sun shades. Four food trucks will be available on site.

Jon Kaouk, organizer of the event, said the event features what is referred to as “no prep drag racing.” Each race features two competitors, with the first car reaching the end of a ¼-mile length of pavement declared the winner. “Mainly what makes it fun is we’re trying to keep it like old-school drag racing,” Kaouk said. Some cars can average reaching about 140 miles per hour by the end of the race. The first Rocky Mountain Cash Days event was held in 2016 at the Mt. Pleasant Airport, and the event has been held every year since then. An earlier event planned this year was canceled due to inclement weather. “We’ve had over 900 people to 1,000 people show up to spectate the last couple of times,” Kaouk said. Those attending Rocky Mountain Cash Days will be able to enter a drawing for a Matco tool box. All proceeds from the drawing will go to the family of a local child who has cancer to assist with their medical bills.

EPHRAIM—It may be due to the COVID-19 virus or simply because the area is becoming more well known, but one thing is clear: the Manti-La Sal National Forest is seeing a marked increase in visitors this year. The forest’s developed campsites (places where people either make reservations or pay to camp) within its northern section are experiencing an increase in usage of about 50 percent this year compared to the same time last year. “It looks like, in those, we’re seeing about double total visitors from last year,” said Johnny Collin, district ranger for the Sanpete Ranger District of the Manti-La Sal National Forest. The northern section of the Manti-La Sal National Forest includes the Sanpete and Ferron/Price districts. The Moab/Monticello District takes in the southern area of the forest. Collin said on average, the northern area is seeing about a third of its campsites being reserved. However, campers who arrive and find campsites still available can utilize them. “We’re probably pretty full in general on weekend days, at least from my looking around,” he said. Collin said he believed the increase in forest usage is due to a couple of factors, including the fact that due to the COVID-19 pandemic,

The Manti-La Sal National Forest is seeing an increase in visitors this year, possibly due to people seeking travel locations nearer to home during the COVID-19 pandemic. people are looking for traveling opportunities closer to home. “I do think COVID has probably had an effect. I don’t have any proof of this, but I do think that people are probably doing much more local travel,” he said. “But then, I also see we’re just seeing an increased use from like the Wasatch Front over the last few years. People have been finding out more and more that we’re down here and there’s opportunities to recreate on the Manti-La Sal.”
Even without these factors in play, popular areas such as Maple Canyon, a draw for rock-climbing enthusiasts, are going to be full around this time of year, he said. “I think it’s exciting to see people utilizing their national forest,” Collin said. “I think it’s a great thing to see people out there using it, especially right now given that the other opportunity is to be stuck at your house. … It’s great to see people out here utilizing the opportunities we have.”

Take precautions to reduce wildfire risk Firefighters are responding to an alltime high number of preventable, human caused fires. “Fireworks and abandoned campfires are causing a lot of problems for firefighters in Utah right now,” said Fire Management Officer Brett Ostler. “A significant increase in public outdoor recreation and careless actions are contributing to the number of ignitions. These preventable fires significantly increase the public safety risk.” Interagency fire managers expect dangerous wildfire conditions in Utah to continue, especially for the short-term in the lower elevations where many people live, work and recreate. “Fire restrictions are already in place in many areas of Utah,” Ostler added. Until or if monsoonal moisture reduces fire danger, expect fire restrictions to be elevated in critical areas. Utah’s fireworks laws, in addition to state and federal agencies, emphasize that it is illegal to possess or ignite fireworks on state or federally administered lands. If convicted, fines can reach up to $100,000 and responsible party(s) will be billed for all fire suppression costs, which frequently exceeds $50,000 for larger wildfires. “Although the Traverse, Avenue R,
Proposed: ‘Sanpete Jeopardy’ Turn Key and Catfish fires in northern Utah were ignited by fireworks, please be careful where you build campfires. Completely extinguish campfires with water and be aware of where you park your vehicle. A hot exhaust system or embers from a campfire can result in a very dangerous situation for firefighters and the public,” Ostler said. The remaining fireworks season in Utah is as follows: July 22-25 and Dec. 31-Jan. 1. Their use is discouraged near vegetation
and is not advised on windy days. Check your local laws to find out if fireworks are legal where you live. Restrictions may vary in incorporated cities.

Category: Sanpete County Dates. Answer: 1849. Question: What is the year Sanpete County was settled? I think you’re familiar with the format – an answer is given and responded to with a question. It’s the way the knowledge/trivia television game show “Jeopardy” is played. I watched “Jeopardy” the other night. I felt pretty highly of myself at the end of the game. Had I been there as a player, I would have won Final Jeopardy. The category was “British Authors.” The answer was: “Born in 1866, he has been called “The Shakespeare of science fiction.” The correct response was: “Who was H.G. Wells?” I gave my response – to myself, as I was alone in the room. All three of the contestants were incorrect with their responses. When my response was announced as correct, I jumped up and did a little happy dance. (I need to find little moments of excitement wherever I can find them.) I then thought about some of my “Jeopardy” memories. Who can forget (probably lots of people) Brigham Young University graduate Ken Jennings, who won a record 74 times in row? This was like 15 years ago. He piled up $2.5 million. Bill Simmons of ESPN magazine called Ken Jennings the “Mormon assassin … of nerds.” He was called the “Michael Jordan of Nerds” (Michael Jordan being widely considered the best of the best when it comes to basketball, in case you’ve forgotten). I guess there are worse things than being called a nerd. When you have a couple of million bucks in your pocket, being poked fun at and called a few names doesn’t hurt all that much. I suppose that I’m a nerd in some ways. But (sigh), I’m not in the same league as any of the nerds that are actually on “Jeopardy.” Years ago, I actually traveled to Salt Lake and auditioned to be on the “Jeopardy” show. There were two or three hundred of us there in a hotel convention ballroom. They gave us a written test. They picked, as I recall, eight people at the end of the audition for their final consideration. I was narrowly beaten out, in my mind at least, by either the University of Utah professor or the beautiful, blonde, braless, T-shirt-wearing woman. (Which person do you think I remember best?) Even as a nerdy loser, I don’t regret trying out. It was an experience to remember. While they were grading our tests, they showed us a couple of “Jeopardy” episodes on the big screen. Alex Trebek was cheered as if he

were Moses parting the Red Sea. When contestants gave “lame” responses, we all groaned in unison. The strangest scene, for me, was in the hotel lobby before the audition. People were actually cramming for the test by randomly studying maps and reading through reference books. (Maybe that was only strange to those of us who were not successful at the tryouts.) I’ve been thinking that perhaps one of these years, we ought to install a homemade “Sanpete Jeopardy” show as an event at the county fair. It won’t be this year, obviously, as our county fair has been “corona canceled.” But this would be a great event for those who are not brave (crazy) enough to enter the Demolition Derby. It would be for someone who doesn’t have a cow, sheep, pig or goat to enter in the livestock show. It would be for the person who doesn’t have a classic vehicle to enter in the car show, the person who doesn’t have something to perform in the talent show, and the person who doesn’t quite feel comfortable competing in the mud volleyball competition. In short – “Sanpete Jeopardy” would be for the nerds. Don’t you think that it would be a lot of fun? (The Sanpete nerds are nodding “yes.”) I’m sure we could find a host who has charisma. If that Ken Jennings guy can be found, maybe he’d come to Sanpete and do the hosting for us. (Oh, wait, I said someone with charisma, didn’t I?) If he can’t do it, perhaps a Sanpete elected official could do it – maybe Sanpete’s “lame duck” County Commissioner Steve Lund. He seems to be willing to say “yes” to just about any worthy assignment. Our county recorder, Reed Hatch, would make a good game host. He claims to be shy in a crowd, but once he gets comfortable, there is no “off switch” on his conversational style. County Assessor Ken Bench could handle it. Anyone who is a county assessor is used to stressful situations, like when people show up at the courthouse with pitchforks and torches to discuss tax valuations. With makeup, glasses and a fake moustache, any one of them could be made to kinda look like Alex Trebek. Kinda. We’d make it work somehow. This “Sanpete Jeopardy” thing may have possibilities. It could be a hit. Aren’t you getting goose bumps thinking about it? I’ll get busy and think up “Sanpete Final Jeopardy” categories just in case we need them. I’m scratching my head. How about this category: Navigable Rivers of Sanpete? Okay, it’s not going to be easy and it’s going to take some time.

New ‘In Utah’ campaign aimed at wellness, economic reactivation SALT LAKE CITY—To encourage wellness and foster economic growth and support of Utah businesses, the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) launched a public information and education campaign on July 14. The campaign is in response to the Utah Legislature’s fourth 2020 special session (H.B. 4001), in which it requested a campaign to support the reactivation of Utah’s economy, and the fifth special session (H.B. 5010), in which the Legislature asked for a public information campaign to encourage healthy activity during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as following current CDC, state, and local health guidelines, and not forgoing other preventive or urgent medical care. After completing a state procurement request for a proposal, GOED selected a campaign called “In Utah,” prepared by Salt Lake Citybased RUMOR Advertising, to address Utahns’ health and
“In Utah” encourages Utahns to embrace healthy habits while practicing appropriate measures to slow the spread of COVID-19. It also encourages Utahns to shop, dine, stay, work, film and play “In Utah.” — Val Hale, executive director, GOED wellness and encourage economic growth. The campaign works in tandem with the state’s existing coronavirus.utah.gov efforts and supports all economic development initiatives across Utah’s varied industries. “In Utah” is focused on economic reactivation efforts as the state navigates the COVID-19 pandemic and the phases outlined in its Utah Leads Together plan. “We’re fortunate to live in a state where volunteerism, community support and service provide positive examples to the rest of the country,” said Val Hale, GOED’s executive director. “We’re working to foster a collaborative environment where a rising economic
tide will lift all boats — where incremental improvements in Utah’s economy help us achieve our hopes and dreams. This is our opportunity to lead by example and even reshape Utah’s future in exciting, innovative ways.” “In Utah” encourages Utahns to embrace healthy habits while practicing appropriate measures to slow the spread of COVID-19. It also encourages Utahns to shop, dine, stay, work, film and play “In Utah.” It’s a collaborative, adaptable outreach campaign that includes various industries and interests. The multimedia campaign will launch with a website (inutah.org) and social media platforms. Campaign materi-
als will be available in English and Spanish. After being presented to Gov. Herbert last month, the initiative was introduced by GOED and its agency, RUMOR Advertising, in a partners kickoff meeting last week. Utah municipalities, associations, organizations, celebrities, athletes, teams, nonprofits and businesses can join the effort and show their support for a healthy Utah, from both wellness and economic perspectives, by: nn Partnering to create a unique “In Utah” badge, nn Displaying ‘In Utah’ signage in physical and online locations, nn Sponsoring promotions and giveaways, and
nn Ordering and distributing or selling “In Utah” promotional items. A plethora of ‘In Utah’ partnerships are possible. On April 23, 2020, the Legislature passed H.B. 4001, and Gov. Herbert signed the bill into law on April 28, affirming the legislative appropriation and setting the wheels in motion for this vital effort. Since then, the GOED team, with support from many other state agencies and groups, has worked to prepare and launch the new economic reactivation campaign with input from dozens of partners across the state. With the June 29 passage of H.B. 5010, GOED incorporated two additional outreach efforts into its contract with RUMOR
Advertising, “Healthy In Utah” and “Learn & Work In Utah.” RUMOR’s contract for the three initiatives totals $2.1 million and goes through the end of the year. Utahns, Utah businesses and organizations are encouraged to support the effort in their communications and actions. Together, Utah will demonstrate what it means to live, work and recreate “In Utah.” Under the direction of Gov. Gary R. Herbert, the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) provides resources and support for business creation, growth and recruitment, and helps drive increased tourism, film production and outdoor recreation in the state. Utilizing state resources and private sector contracts, GOED administers programs in economic areas that demonstrate the highest potential for development.

OBITUARIES Elmo Lovell Winward 1942~2020 Elmo Lovell Winward, 78, of Mt. Pleasant, Utah, passed away July 13, 2020, at Timpanogos Regional Hospital in Orem, Utah. Born July 5, 1942, to Peter LeeRoy and Mildred Densley Winward in Salt Lake City, Utah, Elmo graduated from Bingham High School in 1960. He worked with the 4-H and FFA programs until his sons graduated from high school. He participated in rodeos for 13 years riding saddle broncs and bulls. He retired from Utah County as a heavy machine operator after 30 years. Elmo and JoAnn’s family came together in January of 1978 and Elmo and JoAnn were sealed on June 6, 2002, in the Manti LDS Temple. Elmo and JoAnn were Santa’s helpers for 30 years. That gave them much enjoyment. They were ward missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for 13 years. Elmo would take the clients to Matter, to the 12Step programs, and to church during those years. It was very satisfying for him. He loved his calling. He loved farming and ran two farms in Mt. Pleasant until recently. Elmo is survived by his wife, JoAnn Sena Carlson Lea; and
children: Frank E. (Ramon Gomez) Winward, Shannon G. Winward, Shane L. Winward, Blaine (Janice) Bowers and Cherryl B. (Don) Golding. He was preceded in death by his parents; a daughter, Pauline Bowers Smith; siblings Dean, Valoy, Gail, Grant, Donna, Donald and Frank; and a baby boy, Winward. A graveside funeral will be held Saturday, July 25, 2020, at 11 a.m. in the Mt. Pleasant City Cemetery. Viewings will be held Friday, July 24, from 6 to 8 p.m. and Saturday, July 25, from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. prior to services, both at Rasmussen Mortuary, 96 N. 100 West, Mt. Pleasant, Utah, followed by a horse-drawn carriage ride to the cemetery. The family is requesting that you please wear a mask. Online condolences may be offered at rasmussenmortuary.com.
Sharlee Sorensen 2004~2020 Sharlee was rare in every beautiful way. Our kind, caring, fun, loving and independent daughter, sister, aunt, granddaughter, niece and friend Sharlee Elizabeth Sorensen, 15, passed away unexpectedly Saturday July 18, 2020. She was born to Robert and Jeannie Sorensen of Mt. Pleasant, Utah, on Oct. 11, 2004. Sharlee is the sister of Dustin Sorensen, Jacelyn (Brady) Hansen and Tallen Sorensen; the granddaughter of Earl and Francis Sorensen; and a proud aunt to Trace Hansen. She just completed her freshman year at North Sanpete High School where she was a varsity cheerleader. Sharlee excelled in everything she did — from her schoolwork to her many extracurricular activities, hobbies and passions. She loved life and was a ray of light and positive force that the world needed. Shar often talked about all the things she had planned for her future. She was always thinking 10 steps ahead and putting others’ needs before her own. Her favorite things included cheerleading, horses, fashion and makeup (and she was a pro at all of them!). She always had the BEST hair, and loved being with her friends and family, especially her nephew Trace whom she thought the world of. She is truly a beautiful and pure individual inside and out, and we can’t believe she is gone.

Melba was blessed to be raised on the farm with eight brothers. After she graduated from North Sanpete High School, she went to work in Salt Lake City, where she met Donald E. Hill. They were married in the Manti Temple on April 13, 1961. They had three children – Shelley, David and Valerie – and also welcomed Leonard Stewart into their family for several years. The family moved from Midvale, Utah, back to Mt. Pleasant, Utah, in 1972, where Melba wanted to raise her children closer to family and out of the big city. Melba was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She served in many callings, including as Relief Society teacher, Young Women president and family history consultant, but her favorite callings were with the children as Primary chorister, Primary teacher, or Cub Scout leader. Melba loved children, and she had a talent for creating fun activities and memories for her own children and grandchildren as well as for many
to help provide for her family.

Pioneer Day activities planned this weekend
MISS SANPETE From A1
purposeful year of her life, her perspective has changed slightly. “At first, I thought I would want to be remembered as the girl that juggled, but more than that, I want to be remembered as the title holder that showed all the little girls out there that you don’t have to fit into a certain mold to be successful in the pageant world,” Palmer said. “If a girl that juggles can make her way to state, so can a girl that does magic tricks and any other talent that can be thought of. “So how do I want to be remembered? I want to be remembered as the girl that showed that to be successful in pageants, you just have to be yourself, do what you love and you can be different and make a difference.” Palmer is the daughter of John and Linda Palmer of Ephraim. The Miss Sanpete County and Miss Sanpete Teen Pageant will be held Saturday,
