‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ to be presented in Fairview this week FAIRVIEW — The North Bend Entertainers will be presenting the Oscar Wilde comedy “The Importance of Being Earnest” at the Peterson Dance Hall in Fairview. Performance dates are July 28, 29, 30. Call (435) 469-1177 or visit Facebook.com/NorthBendEntertainers for information and times. Oscar Wilde’s madcap farce about mistaken identities, secret engagements, and lovers entanglements still delights playgoers more than a century after its 1895 publication and premiere performance. The rapid-fire wit and eccentric characters of The Importance of Being Earnest have made it a mainstay of community theater for decades. The play is the story of two bachelors, John ‘Jack’ Worthing and Algernon ‘Algy’ Moncrieff, who each create
Two major Sanpete choirs are now one North Sanpete’s Easter Offering Choir (EOC), founded thirty-six years ago by Dr. Roy Ellefsen, and the Sanpete Valley Singers Choir (SVS), founded by Steven J. Clark in the year 2000, have merged under the name of, Sanpete Valley Choral Arts Society (SVCAS). Ellefsen’s Easter Offering concert has been a mainstay of North Sanpete culture since the ‘80s. Clark’s choir performs Christmas concerts at venues ranging from local communities to the Gunnison State Prison to Temple Square. Angela Thompson, the choir’s new Secretary/Treasurer, says that both groups will benefit from unified administration, resources, and fund-raising, and will only use original (Octavo) music for rehearsals and performances. In 2019, the SVS received the first increment of a grant from the Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area that was never used due to the Covid-19 shutdown. Those proceeds will now help launch the SVCAS. The choir is actively seeking additional patrons who can fund operations year to year. “This is a wonderful development,” Dr. Ellefsen said, “I enthusiastically support this change and encourage all our choir members to do so as well.” His sentiment was echoed by Clark, who said, “Now people don’t have to feel like they have to choose between one choir or the other.” In 2017, after founding and directing the SVS for 17 years, Clark handed the baton off to Dr. Ellefsen and took the position of Assistant Director. Prior to the merge, most
alter egos named Ernest to escape their tiresome lives. In their attempts to win the hearts of two women (Cecily Cardew and Gwendolen Fairfax) who, conveniently, claim to only love men called Ernest, the pair struggle to keep up with their own stories and become tangled in a tale of deception, disguise and misadventure. When all four arrive at Jack’s country home on the same weekend as the “rivals” to fight for Ernest’s undivided attention and the “Ernests” to claim their beloveds, pandemonium breaks loose. Only a senile nursemaid and an old, discarded hand-bag can save the day! The elaborate plot ridicules Victorian sensibilities with some of the best loved characters and caricatures ever to be found, even on the modern stage!
Directed by Alex Barlow of Mt. Pleasant, the cast includes students and alumni from North Sanpete High School. North Bend Entertainers is a nonprofit community theatre organization. NBE began as a result of a need to save the Fairview Dance Hall. The three-fold purpose of North Bend Entertainers is (1) to raise funds to maintain the historic Peterson Dance Hall in Fairview as a theatrical showcase and a gathering place to benefit the entire community (2) to provide a setting for local entertainers to showcase their talents (3) to provide quality entertainment at affordable prices for the community. For more information about this release, contact Bryan Spencer at (435) 851-6243 or bnspencer58@gmail.com.
In rehearsal, the cast members prepare for “The Importance of Being Earnest” at the Peterson Dance Hall in Fairview. Rory Anderson (L) is Algernon Moncrieff and Shaylee Wilkey (R) is Cecily Cardew in the play.
MISS SANPETE COUNTY
Ready to pass on the crown Miss Sanpete County Lydia Madsen and Outstanding Teen Noelle Condie finish their year of service Miss Sanpete County, Lydia Madsen and Miss Sanpete County’s Outstanding Teen, Noelle Condie have completed their year of service. They will pass on the title and responsibilities of the job to two young ladies at the upcoming Miss Sanpete County/Miss Sanpete Teen Competition, to be held on Saturday, August 7 at 7 pm at the Snow College Eccles Performing Arts Center in Ephraim. Utah’s Outstanding Teen, Charlee Sorensen, of Aurora, will be the host for the evening. Lydia Madsen, of Fairview, has served Sanpete County with dedication, focusing on her Social Impact Initiative Lend-A-Hand. Lydia’s goal was to unite our communities through service. She traveled throughout the county to participate in community events and parades, collected gently used shoes for Soles4Souls, a non-profit that collects unwanted shoes for distribution to others in need, and competed at the Miss Utah competition. 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.

Ivan Kay Beane
Olympics, Anyone?
1935-2021
Ivan Kay Beane, 86, of Fairview, Utah, passed away July 19th, 2021. He was the husband of Gayle Hannah Peterson Beane and had eight children and twenty grandchildren. Ivan Kay Beane was born June 27th, 1935, at Cardston, Alberta to Ivan Carleton Beane and Clara Hilda Laycock Beane. His brother and sisters are Oren (deceased), Nita (deceased), Sandra, and Laurie. He received his schooling in the Mountain View, Alberta school with four in his senior class. He attended Ricks College, Utah State University, The University of Utah, and Brigham Young University earning a Bachelor of Science, a Master of Education, and a Doctor of Education. He has been an educator since 1965 — having taught seminary, speech, and English before serving as a media specialist for many years at Orem and Mountain View High Schools. He retired from teaching in 2000. Ivan loved serving and teaching others the gospel of Jesus Christ. His first mission was served in South Africa and Northern California. He also worked in the church educational system for 5 years which allowed him to teach at Mapusaga High School in American Samoa and provided many wonderful experiences and friends for himself and his family. After he retired, he served a second mission with his wife Gayle, in Birmingham, Alabama. He has also had numerous church responsibilities. He is survived by his wife Gayle Hannah Peterson Beane whom he married on June 13th, 1959 in the Alberta Temple. Their children are Janis (Peter)

Through her year of service, Lydia has worked consistently to promote her Social Impact Initiative. “Service shares love, kindness, and understanding. My service club, Sanpete’s Hands, volunteered at the Sanpete Pantry, the Resource Clothing Bank, and made cookies to deliver around Sanpete,” said Madsen. Lydia also made and donated blankets to local hospitals, partnered with Hope for the Homeless — where she made knit hats, hygiene kits, hosted a charity 5K run, and helped fill Easter Eggs for Fairview’s Easter hunt. She also implemented #ServiceSaturday, where she shared a service quote, idea, or highlight every Saturday via social media to help keep service on people’s minds. The culminating event to Madsen’s year of service was being able to represent Sanpete County at the Miss Utah competition in June. 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, Madsen is optimistic about the future. She plans to use her Miss Sanpete County scholarship to continue her education at Southern Utah University where she is pursuing a Business degree. Lydia is the daughter of Jeremy and Jessica Madsen. Noelle Condie of Gunnison, is Miss Sanpete County’s Outstanding Teen. In this role, Noelle has spent time and effort working on her Social Impact Initiative, providing

service to community organizations, and will represent the county at the State Outstanding Teen competition in February. This Mind of Mine, which focuses on mental wellness, has been Noelle’s focus with her Social Impact Initiative. She has hosted workshops for various teen and youth groups, bringing awareness to mental health issues, teaching others how to support those who have mental health conditions, and how to build positive mental health. Noelle also organized a county-wide community activity, Dance Through the Decades. All proceeds from the event were donated to The National Alliance on Mental Illness Utah. Her most memorable experience as Miss Sanpete County’s Outstanding Teen has been connecting with little girls who ask about her crown. “We get to show young girls that being a young woman is more than wearing a fancy dress and competing. We can serve, we can connect, we can speak and we can act on issues that are important to us,” said Condie. Noelle is the daughter of Robyn Condie and David Condie. The Miss Sanpete County and Outstanding Teen Scholarship Competition will be Saturday, August 7, at 7 pm, at the Snow College Eccles Performing Arts Center, 300 East Center in Ephraim. Tickets will be available at the door, which opens at 6 pm. Admission is $8 for adults; Children, ages 4-11, are $5 each. Adult tickets will receive one program with admission. Additional programs are $3 each.
Assistant Director. Allison Bradley of Fountain Green will continue as the Christmas accompanist, and Anna Aagard of Moroni the Easter Offering accompanist. Clark will also serve as choir president. Rehearsals for this year’s Christmas program begin on Sunday, Sept. 19 at 4:30 p.m. at the Mt. Pleasant Stake Center at 300 South State Street. “We welcome participation from anyone who loves to sing challenging, beautiful music under a highly competent director,” David Fullmer, the group’s vice president and former Easter Offering Choir board member said. Ellefsen addressed the issue of reluctance of some community members to participate because of the rehearsal venue. “Although we rehearse at an LDS Church, that’s more a function of having enough choir seats and a piano and organ available rather than any religious affiliation consideration.” He also said, “We have received wonderful support from the LDS Church, but even so, this is a community choir, not a church choir.” The unified group will begin life as a fully registered Utah nonprofit organization. Participation is open to anyone 15 years or older who is capable of singing choir parts. Questions may be addressed directly to Mr. Clark at 435262-0358, Mr. Fulmer at 435262-1264, or Mrs. Thompson at 435-851-9861.
Have you got “Olympic Fever?” Me neither. Well, maybe a little. My fever temperature is rising gradually, I think. Every time I’ve plopped down on the couch to watch some of the sporting events, I’ve quite enjoyed it – except for water polo, watching Team USA get beat in basketball by France, and seeing “my girl” Katie Ledecky miss the gold medal in the 400-meter freestyle swim. I could go on, but that’s enough exceptions to my enjoyment for now. I’m sorry that water polo doesn’t seem to hold my interest. I tried to get into it. I really did. But, it just didn’t happen. I got tired of watching it. My mind wandered. I wondered what infomercial might be on another channel that would be more interesting than what I was watching. I know this isn’t true for everyone but, I remember this quote from Olympics past: “The Summer Olympics – the only time Americans care about swimming.” These Olympics are referred to as the “32nd Olympiad.” I got curious about that. What the heck is an Olympiad? As it turns out, unsurprisingly, the ancient Greeks are the ones who invented the four-year interval system for having this sporting hubbub. This was started hundreds of years before Jesus walked the earth. (776BC) So an Olympiad is a fouryear period associated with “the Games.” The modern Olympics got started in 1896. So, we’re in the 32nd four-year period since then. The Tokyo games look good and sound good on TV, as long as you don’t look at the empty seats in the stands or listen for the roar of crowds. I feel sorry for Japan hosting the games this time around. The pandemic has kind of thrown a wet blanket on the huge event. They’re doing the best they can, but it’s tough. This probably would have been a good year for Sanpete to host the summer games. Why not? Sanpete is a natural in many ways for hosting the summer games. The Central Utah Correctional Facility would be perfect for the Olympic Village. It’s secure and already well staffed. To empty the place out to make room for the athletes, we could just hand out $5,000.00 to each inmate and turn them loose. We would have them promise that they’d report back in a month. Some of the money given out would be plowed back into the local economy in the form of the purchase of used cars and gasoline. The inmates who aren’t true to their promise to return would… well – we just wouldn’t worry about them. Given the trend of prisons being a “growth industry,” the facility’s beds would fill up again in no time. Wouldn’t it be fun to go to the Snow College Stadium and the local high school athletic fields to watch Olympic track and field events? We don’t need gigantic venues with thousands of butts in seats to be successful, especially this
year. The big money is in the television broadcasts. The same goes for the swimming pool competitions. Really, how many spectator seats do we need for water polo at the Activities Center at the college? I’m thinking there’s another major twist that might be worth thinking about for the Games. Let me set this idea up for you. The phenomenal cost and amount of practice and training for the athletes is unbelievable. It’s amazing to see the intricate and precise routines that the gymnasts display and the skills that the other athletes present. When a mistake is made, it’s heartbreaking. If there hadn’t been so much preparation, those mistakes wouldn’t be so tragic. What I have thought about is the idea that participation in the Olympics should be like jury duty. Under this scenario, average people from each country would, by luck of the draw, be entered into the Olympics. Wouldn’t this be more fair and return the games to the concept of pure amateurs competing? There wouldn’t be near the controversy about doping with performance enhancing drugs and the like. How tough would it be to let some guys and girls “off the street” hop onto a horse and lope around a jumping course? Cycling? — “Here’s your bike, follow that motorcycle and lets see how you do.” Basketball? — Self-Explanatory. Badminton and table tennis? — Need I say more? I admit that gymnastic events like “floor exercise” and “balance beam” – and okay — “bars” and “vault,” etc. would have an entirely different look with less trained (a lot less trained) participants. However, I believe that the “entertainment factor” would still be there. Consider that many viewers, usually the unsophisticated ones, like me, are watching and waiting for the occasional booboo or inevitable embarrassing fall. In a remotely, strange way, for some, it’s a lot like watching a NASCAR race. So, therefore, with pure, untrained amateurs performing gymnastics, for example, there would constantly be falls and crashes. The number of viewers would likely rise for all events – especially if the skimpy costumes were continued in many of the sporting events. Let’s talk about beach volleyball and diving. On second thought, let’s not. If Sanpete were to win a bid to host the Olympics, I would be in favor of bringing back some of the sports which have been discontinued over the years. Isn’t it time to bring back croquet, tug-of-war, rope climbing and “plunge for distance?” Well, I think you get the idea. We just might have to start thinking outside the Olympic box of yesteryear. There are ideas and new twists that might be ripe for the picking. When Paris hosts the games in 2024, you might

Celebrate Park and Recreation Month BY EMMA PARKHURST
Utah State University Extension assistant professor – health and wellness
Research shows that spending time in nature promotes physical and emotional health. Since July is National Park and Recreation Month, consider celebrating it by spending more time outdoors. Whether you take a break outside during the workday, visit a park in the evening or hike a nature trail on the weekend, the benefits are numerous. And when time outside is paired with activity, mental and physical health improve more than when compared to doing indoor activities. So – take it outside!
Benefits of spending time in nature include a decrease in high blood pressure, anxiety, negative thinking and lowered levels of depression and stress. Studies also show that outside time is associated with better cognitive development, and spending time in parks generally translates to being more physically active. The takeaway? Getting active in the great outdoors can do wonders for overall well-being. Consider these ideas to include more outside time in your day. nn At work: Be intentional with breaks.
