Unity prayer breakfasts now in Sanpete EPHRAIM — The Triangle Institute, with help from Dirks, Kalama’s and Tap-Z-Log has recently instituted a new program in the Sanpete valley – a monthly prayer breakfast.

Its purpose is to encourage civic, business, faith leaders and concerned citizens to meet together for breakfast and to voice common concerns in prayer.

Terrel Davis, institute director, explains the concept, “It’s really a very simple idea. We have arranged a time and place in each community where civic, business and faith leaders, as well as others can meet, express present concerns and then be lead in prayer, focusing on those concerns.”

“Then,” he says, “in that same spirit, talk over breakfast about what can be done to see those things addressed and those prayers answered. As it happens, each month, and becomes part of the common culture, it can set a climate for the whole community. It becomes a format for community connection and will promote positive action.”

Davis points out that, “Prayer in the public sphere is not a new concept. It has its roots in history, American history, even at this nation’s Constitutional Convention.

In 1787, the representatives of

the states had worked for five weeks and gotten nowhere.”

“Locked in heated debate in the broiling summer heat of a closed up Independence Hall,” he continues, “our freedoms, our yet-unborn nation was in serious peril. Each camp had dug in ideologically and there was real danger that the loggerheads of states’ rights was just about to abort the process.

That sounds like our day” “It was in this atmosphere,” Davis says, “that Benjamin Franklin stood and addressed the assembly. What he said and did at that moment in time not only defined the man, but from that point on has helped to define our country as a whole.”

“First, Franklin called for a recess, a three day break, to mix with people, especially people who had views that differed from their own – a bit of air, a bit of perspective.”

“Then he said: ‘Before I sit down, Mr. President, I will suggest another matter; and I am really surprised that it has not been proposed by some other member at an earlier period of our deliberations.’

‘I will suggest, Mr. President, that propriety of nominating and appointing, before we separate, a chaplain to this convention, whose duty it shall be uniformly to assemble with us, and introduce the business

of each day by addressing the Creator of the universe, and the Governor of all nations, beseeching Him to preside in our council, enlighten our minds with a portion of heavenly wisdom, influence our hearts with a love of truth and justice, and crown our labors with complete and abundant success.’”

Davis continues, “Then he sat down, and they did just that. They appointed a Chaplain and from that point on, each meeting, each day began with prayer. The result of this action was that the Constitutional Convention was a success, we have a constitution, we have a country, and we have our rights, even the right to stand and be heard, whatever our viewpoint may be.”

“Now things have changed,” says Davis, “We do not always, and in many instances cannot, begin public meetings with prayer. In this same environment the division and divisive feelings have reached new heights and we wonder how much longer we can sustain and maintain our freedoms.”

“But we have recourse. The pattern is there,” he says, “in the process of the Constitutional Convention. We can meet together, start with our concerns, our opinions and feelings, then put them on the

table, and ask God’s blessing on the process. Then we can break bread together and see what good we can do. It is something we can do for the sake of each of our communities.”

The Triangle Institute has done the small work of making arrangements for this to take place. It is the civic leaders, business and faith-based leaders and concerned citizens that will make it happen.

All those who have community concerns are encouraged to attend. The meetings are scheduled to take place on the following dates, times and locations: Tuesday, Aug. 14, at 9 a.m., at Kalama’s Island Style, 61 South Main, Ephraim; Tuesday, Aug. 21, at 10 a.m., at Tap-Z-Log, 122 West Main, Mt. Pleasant; and on Tuesday, Aug. 27, at 9 a.m., at Dirk’s Farmhouse Restaurant, 115 North Main, Manti.

About Triangle Institute The Triangle Institute is a non-profit community action committee (NGO) formed in 2003, in Kemmerer, WY. Its goal and purpose has been to encourage cooperation and balanced development in rural communities.

USDA is providing the funding through the Water and Waste Disposal Loan and Grant program. It can be used to finance drinking water, storm water drainage and waste disposal systems for rural communities with 10,000 or fewer residents.

Here are a few examples of USDAs latest investments of $164 million for 54 projects nationwide: 1). Wadesboro, NC; is receiving a $706,000 loan and an $815,000 grant to improve its water distribution system.

The town will install 7,000 linear feet of eight- and 12inch PVC and dip water main, and 11 hydrants and service re-connections. The project will benefit the town’s 2,012 residential users, 84 commercial users, eight industrial users and five institutional users.

Wadesboro, population 5,841, is in Anson County.

2). The village of Greenview, IL; is receiving a $4.9 million loan and a $3.7 million grant to construct a wastewater collection and treatment facility. The system will collect and convey wastewater via a centralized pumping station. Wastewater will be transferred to a contained mechanical treatment system.

Treated wastewater will then be released to Grove Creek.

This project will alleviate health hazards due to private septic or aeration systems that discharge effluent into drainage fields, causing raw sewage

backups in homes during major rainfalls. The new system will serve the town’s 778 residents.

3). In Baudette, MN; the Wheelers Point Sanitary District is receiving a $300,000 loan and a $638,000 grant to construct a sewer collection system. The District is on the shores of Lake of the Woods and the Rainy River in Lake of the Woods County in northern Minnesota.

Homes and businesses in the district have individual septic systems that need to be replaced. If these systems were to fail, the contamination would affect the river and the lake. The state considers this project a priority due to the possibility of environmental contamination. The new system will protect the environment and area waters.

USDA has announced investments in Alabama, California, Delaware, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin and West Virginia.

In FY 2018, Congress provided a historic level of funding for water and wastewater infrastructure. The 2018 Omnibus spending bill includes $5.2 billion for USDA loans and grants, up from $1.2 billion in FY 2017. The bill also directs Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue to make investments in rural communities with the greatest infrastructure needs.

In April 2017, President Donald J. Trump established

I talked to a local rancher back in June. He says that this is the worst year for drought he’s seen. And he says that he remembers back into the 1950s. He said then, in June, that on some of his property at 8,000 feet elevation that it was like walking on corn flakes where normally it would be green and lush.

I know it may be a tired subject, but I felt like bringing back a column from yesteryear.

What follows is a column from a dry year some years back.

As we enter the dog days of summer, the thermostat has turned up on us here in Sanpete. I gather that the Greeks and Romans watched for when the very bright star Sirius, the Dog Star, rose right about the same time as sunrise.

This event began the most hot, most sultry, days of summer – the “dog days.” Many cultures, both ancient and modern, have different beliefs and traditions relating to the “dog days.”

In Sanpete, the tradition is that it’s just plain hot and dry.

I haven’t heard anyone using the “D” word yet; but it seems to me that we use it just about every summer of every year of the world.

I’m not talking about the “D” word: Derby (as in “Demolition). But that does get talked about year round every year. I’m talking about drought. Lack of water really shouldn’t be surprising to us though. After all, we do live in a desert.

At this time of year, everyone is working hard to keep their lawns and gardens from wilting and drying up and blowing away. Some of you consider me to be an expert gardener and yard keeper. (That same group of people attract squirrels because you are nuts.)

But in that “expert” capacity, I would like to now address some of the questions that Sanpeters have this time of year as they encounter the extraordinarily hot and dry part of the summer. I’ll use the standard Question and Answer format.

Q: Merrill, is it normal for my lawn to be “crunchy” as I walk across it?

A: The short answer to that question for this time of year is “Yes.” This condition is the lawn’s normal response to the simple fact that it’s getting no water. While this crunchiness of grass can be distressing to some, if the right attitude is used there is some fun to be had.

Those old enough to remember the long running ad campaign for “the only cereal that talks” will know what I’m

Jennifer Lyn Allred, Spring City, was arrested in Spring City by the Spring City Police Department on charges of disorderly conduct, intoxication and a Sixth District Court Warrant.

Bail was set at $52.000.

Bradford Bentley, Mt. Pleasant, was arrested in the Sanpete County Jail by the Sanpete County Sheriff’s Office on the charge of entice a minor by internet or text. Booked and released for court.

Chad H. Ellett, Gunnison, was arrested in the Sanpete County Jail by the Sanpete County Sheriff’s Office on the

charge of forgery. Booked and released for court.

James Jens Erichsen, Manti, was arrested in Manti by the Sanpete County Sheriff’s Office on charges of possession of marijuana, two counts of discharging a firearm, felon in possession of dangerous weapon, disorderly conduct and criminal mischief. Bail was set at $8,360.

Emry Hall, Ephraim, was arrested in Sanpete County

by Adult Probation and Parole on charges of theft, interfering with arresting officer and criminal trespass. Bail was set at $7,360.

Water districts, communities encouraged to apply for loans WASHINGTON — Assistant to the Secretary for Rural Development Anne Hazlett recently announced a historic commitment by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to upgrade and rebuild rural water infrastructure.

“USDA is committed to being a strong partner to rural communities in building their futures,” Hazlett said. “All people, regardless of their zip code, need modern, reliable infrastructure to thrive, and we have found that when we address this need, many other challenges in rural places become much more manageable.”

Eligible rural communities and water districts can apply online for funding to maintain, modernize or build water and wastewater systems.

They can visit the interactive RD Apply tool found online at: https://www.rd.usda.gov/ programs-services/rd-apply or they can apply through the Utah USDA Rural Development’s state office by contacting Utah State Director, Randy Parker, Wallace F. Bennett Fed-

Dog days of summer referring to. Rice Krispies had three little cartoon characters named, Snap, Crackle and Pop who were in the television ads.

I think of them as I walk across my “talking” lawn.

Q: Could it be that our droughts in Sanpete are some sort of divine judgment from above and that we should be living better?

A: Umm – that’s not really a yard and garden question. But since you asked, I’ll give you my quick theological observations. Have you noticed the plague of grasshoppers that is upon us? Has anyone seen someone who resembles Moses, maybe a Charleton Heston look alike, with a long white beard and a staff?

Somewhere in the good book it says that it “rains on the just and the unjust.” Conversely, I would assume that it “doesn’t rain on the just and the unjust.”

But to answer the last part of your question, yes – we should all be living better. But I don’t attribute drought to God. I place the blame where it rightfully belongs. As far as I’m concerned, that weather guy on Channel 5 is responsible.

Q: I’ve planted corn three times this year with no success. I know that you’re known as the king of corn. What’s my problem?

A: There is symbolism in the fact that you’ve planted three times with no success. It’s a baseball concept that applies here. The corn gods are saying, “Three strikes and you’re out!” Corn can be a tricky crop. Could it be that your problem is related to the two tons of “hot” turkey manure you applied or is it that pesky “no water” thing?

Q: My husband spends hours staring at the sunburned rose bushes while holding a garden hose, which has no water running from it. I’m a little worried about his mental health. Am I justified?

A: Don’t worry. His behavior is attributable to just plain old force of habit. It’s stronger than nicotine. It may be a bit non-productive, but hey – at least he’s home and not at the pool hall.

Q: I’m landscaping a new home here in Sanpete. Any suggestions?

A: Yes, I’m full of suggestions. Start with saguaros.

You know that tall cactus that Taco Time has for its logo and signs. They’re big and impressive. The rest of the yard can be done with prickly pear, barrel cactus, yucca and century plants.

Well folks, it’s time to wrap up this Q and A session. Enjoy your dog days of summer. Keep the lemonade supply high and the dog’s hair short.

Khari Vincent Hayne, Idaho, was arrested in the Sanpete County Jail by the Sanpete County Sheriff’s Office on the charge of threatening with dangerous weapon in a fight.

Booked and released for court.

James Dale Kennedy, Alabama, was arrested in Gunnison by the Gunnison Police Department on the charge of intoxication. Bail was at $220.

Kevin Ashley Morris, Mt. Pleasant, was arrested in Mt. Pleasant by the Mt. Pleasant Police Department on an Orem Justice Court Warrant. Bail was set at $5,005.

ELECTRIC TRANSPORT CREATION INCLUDED IN CAR SHOW

This year’s Fairview Pioneer Days Car Show included a unique modified wheelchair with an electric generator engine attached to a shiny tool box seat. Created by Chris Coates and son, Garret, Fairview; the vehicle quietly moved along the rows of souped up vehicles in front of the Fairview Museum of History and Art. Resembling a bright red train engine, it looked like a winner in the wheelchair competition. (Photo courtesy of Terry Madsen)

E. Bruce Westenskow 1936~ 2018 MORONI-- Elden Bruce Westenskow was born Nov. 8, 1936, in Moroni, UT; to his loving parents, Grace Blackham and Elden P. Westenskow.

He has two sisters; Joyce (Karl) Armstrong and Mary Louise (Ease) (John) Hall.

Bruce attended Moroni High School, where he was student body president, and participated in FFA. He graduated high school and seminary in 1955.

He served a full-time mission for the LDS Church in the California mission from June 1957-1959. He attended Snow College and received his Associates degree with an emphasis in Science.

He married his sweetheart Joyce Aagard May 6, 1960, in the Manti LDS Temple.

They had five children; Lewis, Ruth (Allen) Shepherd, Marie (Chad) Shepherd, John Elden (Adrienne) Westenskow and Mathew.

He spent his life working on the turkey farm alongside his dad and his sons, and they also farmed and raised cattle.

He received the Grower of the Year award many, many times throughout his lifetime for the lowest turkey mortality rate.

He served in the Utah National Guard Springville Engineering Unit and was called to serve active duty in 1961-1962, during the Berlin Crisis.

He held many church callings including ward clerk and counselor in the bishopric.

He loved to go fishing, hunting and camping. He enjoyed spending time with family and was an excellent cook.

He was known for his kindness, gratitude, contagious laugh and endless complements. He had a way of making everyone feel like they were his “favorite.”

Dadʼs whole world was Mom. His day began when he talked to her, and his day ended when he talked to her.

He was constantly thinking about her. When we would complement him, he would be quick to point out that it was really Mom and would go on and on about all of her good qualities.

He was always modest and reserved about himself.

We all knew without a doubt what he thought of Mom and how much he loved her. She was his calm and his rock, and we as siblings will always appreciate his example of love and devotion.

He was very loved by all the amazing nurses and therapists who met him and cared for him, and he truly loved them in return.

He and his family will be forever grateful for the loving care of him and for us as a family at the Highland Care Center, Stonehenge of Springville, and especially the Mervyn Sharp Bennion Central Utah Veterans Home in Payson, prior to his death.

He is survived by his wife, children, 13 grandchildren and 12-and-one-half great-grandchildren.

He also leaves behind numerous treasured friends whom he loved and whom blessed his life to the very end. He and Joyce had open hearts and open doors to numerous others, that they loved and considered family as well including, Santi, Rachael and family; Haydee, Tonio and family; and Arturo, Lily and family.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his son, Lewis.

Funeral services were held July 31, in the Moroni LDS Stake Center.

Seven resources for caregivers (BPT) — When David Bowen’s father fell taking out the trash in 2016, it set in motion a series of health challenges the family is still battling together. Bowen, 62, hired a part-time professional caregiver to assist his father and his mother, who was battling Alzheimer’s, but he found himself serving as a caregiver much of the time, too.

The responsibility of caregiving can mean increased stress and anxiety, which can affect family dynamics, nutrition habits, physical fitness and overall well-being. Many people take unpaid leave from their jobs, reduce work hours, change careers or quit altogether to care for an aging loved one.

The 2018 Northwestern Mutual C.A.R.E. Study revealed that two of three caregivers reduce their living expenses to pay for the medical and practical needs of their loved ones, yet nearly half of future caregivers said they have made no financial plans to prepare.

While this can be challenging,

caregivers take immense pride in this vital role, and most wouldn’t trade the opportunity. In fact, a recent Merrill Lynch-Age Wave study found that 91 percent of caregivers feel grateful to care for someone and 77 percent would do it again.

Caregivers need and deserve support as they navigate a demanding, emotional and critical responsibility. The good news is there are resources and services like the following that can help make life as a caregiver a bit easier.

Caregiver resource list nn The National Family Caregiver Support Program offers medical, emotional, financial and legal advice and training to adult family members who provide in-home and community care for people aged 60 or older and to people older than 55 who care for children under 18. nn AARP’s Caregiver Resource Center offers guides for first-time caregivers, families and those who care for a loved one at home. These include fi-

nancial and legal considerations and advice on how to maintain caregiver-life balance. nn While the Administration for Community Living doesn’t work directly with individuals, it can be a good place for a caregiver to start on the circuitous path to financial support. The organization provides funds to help older adults and people with disabilities live where they choose to for as long as they can, and has provided billions of dollars to programs in every state. nn UnitedHealthcare proactively addresses caregiver needs by sharing relevant information and resources. Its Solutions for Caregivers program, for example, is a website for eligible members to get advice from medical professionals, financial advisers and experienced care managers; take advantage of discounted products and services; and access educational resources. Non-members can find a directory of organizations that focus on issues including Parkinson’s disease, substance abuse, blindness, MS,

Caregivers need and deserve support as they navigate a demanding, emotional and critical responsibility. Resources and services can help make life as a caregiver a bit easier.

Alzheimer’s and diabetes. nn The National Alliance for Caregiving focuses on caregiving research, innovation and technology, state and local caregiving coalitions, and international caring. It is working to build a global network of caregiver support organizations. nn The Caregiver Action Network (CAN) serves a broad spectrum of family caregivers,

ranging from parents of children with special needs, to families and friends of wounded soldiers, to adult children caring for aging parents. Aiming to promote resourcefulness and respect for the more than 90 million family caregivers across the country, CAN provides free education, peer support and resources. nn The Eldercare Locator, a public service of the U.S. Ad-

ministration on Aging, provides a search tool that allows visitors to search by topic and location for services pertaining to older adults and their families.

“Dad and I, we’re trying to put a new life together for him, and it’s tough,” said Bowen. “But support from all over has kept me on my feet and moving forward.

Amid all the challenges, I am grateful for that.”

Mt. Pleasant City routinely monitors for constituents in our drinking water in accordance with the Federal and Utah State laws. The following table shows the results of our monitoring for the period of January 1st to December 31s1, 2017. All drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some constituents. It's important to remember that the presence of these constituents does not necessarily pose a health risk.

We constantly monitor for various constituents in the water supply to meet all regulatory requirements. In June and November of2017 we failed to test for coliform bacteria. Water quality may change without any visible indication due to unanticipated environmental factors.

For this reason, we are required to sample for coliform bacteria on a monthly basis. This violation does not necessarily pose a health risk. We have reviewed why we failed to take our routine coliform bacteria tests and have taken steps to ensure that it will not happen again.

All sources of drinking water are subject to potential contamination by constituents that are naturally occurring or manmade. Those constituents can be microbes, organic or inorganic chemicals, or radioactive materials. All drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.

MCLs are set at very stringent levels. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulated constituents, a person would have to drink 2 liters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetime to have a one-in-a-million chance of having the described health effect.

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice from their health care providers about drinking water.

EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
