weather expands Mammoth Fire

A great amount of damage was done when flash flooding struck in the Thistle area. Mud, rocks and debris were washed over Highway 89, blocking traffic and making the road impassable. The road was closed all weekend July 26-28 while road crews cleared and repaired the road. (Photo courtesy of Elaine Angerhofer)

While trying to cross through water running over Highway 89 about a mile south of Thistle on Friday, July 26, at approximately 5:30 p.m., this truck pulling a trailer was struck by a large boulder. To get out of the situation required the disconnection of the trailer to enable pushing the boulder out of the way. (Photo courtesy of Elaine Angerhofer)

Flash flood forces Hwy 89 closure south of Thistle RAY LAFOLLETTE

THISTLE — What started as a typical summer thunder storm quickly became a cloud-burst that released torrents of running water, swelling normally dry gullies into rivers of mud and rock Friday, July 26, after 5 p.m., south of the Highway 89 junction with U.S. 6 in Thistle. Water levels rose, ran over Highway 89 and forced its closure for the entire weekend.

An eye-witness, Elaine Angerhofer, Mt. Pleasant, related that she had

never seen it rain so hard. They were in a truck with their windshield wipers running at full speed and visibility was difficult. She said the rain was pouring down in buckets. The water running across the road was almost as high as the tops of the guard rails in the area.

Due to the long required drive to take an alternate route around the high water on the road, some vehicles with high clearance, such as pickups, were driving through the over-run.

One of the pickups pulling a trailer

was struck by a huge bolder that was washed onto the road.

The boulder stuck between the pickup and the trailer it was pulling and the only way to remove the boulder was by unhitching the trailer and physically pushing the boulder out of the way. It was not a pretty sight and not a good weekend to be traveling in that area. Three mudslides buried the road with up to two feet of mud and rocks.

Some homes nearby were threatened and received property damage.

Several drivers found that their vehicles were trapped between the mudslides and could not get out until the road had been cleared.

Rising water totally covered sections of the road with several feet of water and debris. The road was closed the rest of the evening Friday, all day Saturday and Sunday. Road crews came in and used heavy equipment to determine the extent of damage, clear the debris and make the necessary repairs. The road was reopened early Monday morning, July 29.

HUNTINGTON — The Mammoth Fire grew to 230 acres last Monday, driven by hot, dry, breezy conditions in the afternoon. The fire is burning near Huntington Reservoir in areas of dead and down spruce, in an area previously planned for prescribed burning.

Crews have established a secure line on the southeast of the fire to keep it burning to the northwest among dead spruce and deadfall timber. There are no closure orders or evacuations for the area.

A cooling trend with some rain was expected Monday afternoon and continuing through Wednesday. The high elevation fire was reported July 24 and was caused by lightning.

The fire is directly bordered by an earlier, closed timber sale adjacent to the south shore of Huntington Reservoir and a drainage with a flowing stream to the east. Aspen and grass meadows are interspersed among the decadent timber stands Please see FIRE, Page A8

Miss Sanpete Bellamy Sorensen and Outstanding Teen Nikki Evans complete year of service EPHRAIM — Miss Sanpete County Bellamy Sorensen, and Miss Sanpete County Outstanding Teen Nikki Evans, have completed their year of service. They will pass on the title and responsibilities to two young ladies at the upcoming Miss Sanpete County/Outstanding Teen competition, to be held at 7 p.m., Friday, Aug. 9, Snow College Eccles Center, 300 East Center, Ephraim.

The newly-crowned 2019 Miss Utah Dexonna Talbot will be the host for the evening. Tickets will be available at the door. Doors open at 6 p.m.

When Bellamy Sorensen’s name was announced as Miss Sanpete County 2018, she was excited, willing and ready to begin her year of service and to learn everything she needed to know in order to have a meaningful year.

Through her year of service, Bellamy has served Sanpete County with dedication and energy, focusing on her Social Impact Initiative “Unplug: The Effects of Technology and Media”. She represented Sanpete County at the Miss Utah Competition in June, 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, which directly benefits Utah’s Primary Children’s Hospital.

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 advocate. She develops a plan and puts it into action throughout the year. In addition, she is a role model for young women, and as an ambassador of the Miss America Organization, she encourages girls and

Bellamy Sorensen young women to develop leadership skills and get involved in their communities.

Bellamy selected a platform she felt would be beneficial to children and youth in Sanpete County. “My platform focused on helping the uprising generation know how technology and media can be helpful, but also how it can be harmful,” said Sorensen.

The “Unplug” initiative had one main goal: to help youth and children learn how to fight the urge to be connected to a device, and have the willpower to unplug from the addiction of technology and media.

During her year of service, Sorensen also represented the county at the Miss Utah competition in June. “Miss Utah was one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever done in my life!” exclaimed Sorensen. “I felt inadequate being with all of the amazing women, but once I arrived I realized how empowering it is to be with all of these amazing, beautiful and talented women that have the same goals that I do.”

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 11 young ladies who will compete on Aug. 9 for the position. Sorensen is grateful for the experiences she’s had. “Miss Sanpete is a hard responsibility — it requires hard work, but all the work is worth it.”

Bellamy plans to jump back into school with an open mind and get ready to start her career. She will use the scholarship money awarded through the competition toward the advancement of her Radiologic Technician degree at Weber State University.

Miss Sanpete Outstanding Teen Nikki Evans is Miss Sanpete County Outstanding Teen for 2018.

In this role, Nikki has spent time and effort working on her platform, participating in various parades throughout the county, and Please see SERVICE, Page A8

USFS highlights emergency medical short-haul program USFS REGIONAL INTERMOUNTAIN NEWS — During the Trail Mountain Fire on the Manti-La Sal National Forest last June 2018, the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) completed their first operational emergency short-haul extraction in Utah.

Since then, the short-haul program has diligently prepared for future events and has been available to support the USFS and all of its partners to provide the very best service possible.

About short-haul Emergency Medical ShortHaul is used to get emergency medical care to the seriously injured and respond to life threatening injures that happen in the field. With insertion and extraction options, it is an effective method to get help in and the injured out of places that are normally inaccessible.

Wildland firefighters often work in remote locations in very extreme environments. When accidents happen, it is necessary to act quickly, effectively and efficiently. Depending on the location, it can take hours to get a patient to life saving care.

Time cannot be wasted.

In the past, firefighters have had to rely solely on other Emergency Medical Response (EMS) resources, which may not be available or able to get in close enough for timely extraction.

On more than one occasion, it seemed that getting injured wildland firefighters to medical facilities took much longer than it should.

the short-haul capable crews says that “The Forest Service’s decision to stand up short-haul crews is a huge step in the right direction for hopefully saving lives on the fire-line. The specialized training we have received is top notch, and the devotion of the leadership within the program provides an environment to be a part of something bigger than ourselves.”

Following the tragic death of firefighter Andy Palmer in July 2008, the Hot Shot community with the Helicopter Operations group worked toward developing a more dependable way to extract individuals in need of definitive emergency medical care.

The goal of the Emergency Medical Short-Haul program is to ensure the safe and efficient use of short-haul capabilities to aid injured firefighters when that is the quickest way to get medical care to a person in need or extract an injured or ill employee for transport to medical care.

A short-haul mission might unfold something like this: a person in a remote area sustains a significant injury. Information from the responder is relayed to a dispatch/communications unit and an emergency medical short haul ship is requested.

The helicopter flies to the coordinates provided and makes contact with the ground crew and does a scene size up. A landing area is determined and the crew configures for short-haul operations.

This involves installing a short-haul line, from the helicopter belly-cargo hook. The line is also connected to a backup-up safety system. This is a redundant safety measure to prevent accidental release. The standard rope length for training and operations is 250 feet but can be longer or shorter depending on the need.

Once all aircraft and personal protective gear checks are complete, the short-haulers connect to the haul line, the aircraft departs, and the extraction crew is transported to the scene.

Firefighters on scene will move the injured to a location with the fewest hazards for the aircraft and crew. The shorthaul pilot will maneuver the helicopter and lower the shorthaul responder to the ground.

The patient is assessed and packaged accordingly. Patient packaging depends on the mechanism of injury and condition. If the patient can walk, they will likely be extracted in a seated position using an evacuation harness known as the “Screamer Suit.”

If the patient needs to be in a horizontal flat position due to spinal injuries, the patient will be secured to a backboard or a litter for stabilization. The Bauman bag is then used and acts like a burrito, wrapping around

During the Trail Mountain Fire operations last June 2018, an injured person was rescued using a short-haul helicopter and transported to a waiting ambulance. (Photo courtesy of Lane Lamoreaux) the stabilization device and it can accommodate most common packaging devices; traverse rescue stretcher, SKEDs, and backboards.

Once the injured is safely packaged, the patient and short-haul EMT are secured to the line and are lifted a safe distance above trees or other obstacles. The aircraft then flies to the closest safe area where the patient and short-hauler can be lowered for transfer to a waiting ambulance or medical transport helicopter.

Helitack crews, capable of short-haul, are primarily configured to perform all normal duties in support of fire suppression. Short-haul is just an additional capability supporting work in the field.

These firefighting helicopters conduct reconnaissance missions, transport crews, drop water (bucket drops) and on rare but necessary occasions, quickly configure for Emergency Medical Short-Haul.

The pilots and firefighters trained in short-haul are subject matter experts in mountain flying and adapt well to variable conditions that fires are often affected by and they are knowledgeable and aware of the various hazards of the job. They are firefighters.

“Coming from a rappel and hand-crew background has helped me understand the importance of a tool like shorthaul,” said Fox. “Although our primary mission as firefighters has not changed; this tool provides us with additional skills to aid those unfortunate ones that fall victim to natures’ unpredictability.”

In closing Fox said, “My hope for the future is that more crews are able to provide the same emergency extraction service that we provide today, and that Forest Service short-haul procedures on the fire-line are understood as clearly as basic fire-line tactics.”

Currently the U.S. Forest Service has five Emergency Medical Short-Haul Programs. In

2015, two helitack crews, Teton Interagency Helitack on the Bridger-Teton National Forest and Wenatchee Helitack based on the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest began implementation.

In 2016, three additional crews added the short-haul capability: Tucson Helitack, Coronado National Forest, Central Montana Helitack, Helena/ Lewis and Clark National Forests and Krassel Helitack based on the Payette National Forest.

Adding the 2016 resources has helped to complement the two initial crews and to continue to bolster the extraction coverage nationally.

The Forest Service is not the only federal agency that provides helicopter extraction. The National Park Service has been doing short-haul missions for decades, and has been instrumental and is a valued partner in standing up the Forest Service Short-Haul program.

The Park Service has had many operational successes on wildland fire incidents. While they are not primarily a medical transport aircraft their capabilities and quick responses, shorthaul capable helitack crews have provided assistance in multiple incident medevacs.

In addition to initial attack and incident management team assignments, the five individual crews and helicopters should be strategically placed in areas of activity to provide optimum extraction coverage. Sharing between units has proven to demonstrate the efficiency of this versatile resource.

Much like other highly specialized resources (i.e. type I helicopters, hotshot crews, smokejumpers, etc.), shorthaul capable crews are in high demand. These crews are an important part of regional and local fire management programs in the past and are now called upon to provide extraction assistance for the nation.

To address the needs of the field and to continue to improve the wildland fire system, the focus for everyone should be on the resource lend-lease model that has been successful for years.

Is it hot enough for you?

I think that there are annoying people in everyone’s life. It’s not the same people for everyone. You might not even notice the guy who eats with his mouth open who annoys me. The lady who clacks her dentures might be okay to me, but she might drive you bonkers.

I have several habits which I know are annoying to people. An example: when the calendar gets to the 25th of each month, like it did a few days ago, I have a tendency to say something that annoys people. The other day I said to a few people, “Guess what? Only five months until Christmas!” For some weird reason, that’s considered an awful thing to say and people groan.

With the heat waves that we’re been experiencing, there are always some annoying comments from people. I think the top one is this question: “Is it hot enough for you?”

Some time ago, I researched some snappy comebacks for that overused, dumb question. It reminded me of Mad Magazine’s old feature “Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions” — exactly what I was thinking about.

Al Jaffee was the “Mad” guy who did that bit.

I used to be an occasional purchaser of Mad Magazine.

I would get them at Merrill’s Drug Store in Richfield as a kid. I really wish I still had all those comic books and Mad Magazines that I bought back in those olden days. They would be fun to look through and might be worth a little money. The magazine was founded in 1952, the same year I was “founded.”

A friend and reader gave me a year’s subscription to Mad a few years ago after seeing it mentioned in this column. That was a fun blast from the past.

I saw in the news recently that Mad’s 67-year run is coming to an end this year.

I gather that there will be an end of year issue put out annually comprised of previously published material with a new cover. Sadly, I’m getting used to some things changing that I thought would never change.

Anyway, after that sidetrack, using the snappy answer formula, here’s some of what I found as possibilities in specific categories for answers to the annoying “is it hot enough for you?” question: “So, is it hot enough for you?”

(Delirium) “Sure, I’ll have a banana!”

(Sarcasm) “I seem to have lost the hearing in my left ear due to the heatstroke I’m experiencing. Could you please repeat yourself?”

“Are you nuts!? I’m freezing! Do you have a sweater I could borrow?”

(Misinterpret the question) “Naw... plaid was never my thing.”

“A touch heavy on the eye shadow, but not bad!”

(Denial) “Why is everything around here my fault? I’m not running this business alone, you know!

(Religious) “God is punishing us for our sins; we must repent!”

My answer to the question is, “Yes, it is hot enough for me.” the swamp cooler on our house has been on the fritz. I finally got it going properly a week or so ago. Getting the cooler running involved buying a new motor belt, a new water pump (which we didn’t really need) and doing some other extraordinary handyman magical stuff.

Prior to the cooler fix, we were feeling like those ready to eat, rotisserie chickens that you see for sale in grocery stores as we sat in the house. Thank goodness for more comfortable temperatures in the basement during those “uncool days.”

When I see the temperatures reported in St. George, Las Vegas, Lake Havasu City and other places, I wonder how they endure it. But I remember that I already know how they do it. They go from air-conditioned house to air-conditioned car to an air-conditioned workplace, etc. etc.

As I’ve been sweating these past few weeks, it does make me wonder a little if perhaps God is preparing some of us for a warmer next life. If hell is indeed hot, I’m getting good training.

When the weather was extra hot, I remember my dad often making his deadpan joke comment to people, “Well, it seems to be thawing today.” He liked to smile at his own jokes. (Just like I do) I hope that everyone is keeping hydrated and slathering on the sunscreen. Enjoy the heat while you can.

Go play in the water somewhere. Or get a lawn chair and sit in your garden. Sip lemonade while you watch your tomato plants grow.

I say enjoy it now, because you’ve got to remember; Christmas is just around the corner.

Communities asked to help fight fraud BALTIMORE, MD — Older people are at a greater risk of fraud and other forms of financial exploitation. The United States Postal Service has seen an increase in mail fraud and is promoting community strength and fraud awareness as a way to prevent abuse. Social Security (SSA) agrees. People can help older, more vulnerable loved ones fight fraud.

People daily receive advertisements in the mail, but the mail could be from a private company or even a scammer.

United States law prohibits people or non-government businesses from using words or emblems that mislead others.

The advertising that is sent to people can’t legally lead people to believe that they represent, are somehow affiliated with, or endorsed or approved

by Social Security.

Scammers commonly target people who are looking for Social Security program and benefit information. If anyone receives misleading information about Social Security, send the complete advertisement, including the envelope

it came in, to: Office of the Inspector General Fraud Hotline, Social Security Administration, P.O. Box 17768, Baltimore, MD 21235 A community can simply mean a family unit. The more a person knows about what their loved ones are exposed to, the better that person can protect them.

The SSA also receives reports where someone pretending to be a Social Security employee has contacted members of the public. The intent of this type of call may be to steal a person’s identity and/or money from their bank accounts.

The pretender may state that a person’s Social Security number will be suspended or they may demand immediate payment. The caller generally asks for personal information such as a Social Security number, date of birth, a mother’s maiden name, or personal bank or financial account information. This information should not be provided to these individual pretenders.

It is possible that a Social Security employee may contact a person to follow-up

PHILETDOM — STOCK.ADOBE.COM

The Social Security Administration (SSA) reminds the community to report all advertising that provides misleading information about the SSA to the Office of the Inspector General. on a previous application for Social Security benefits or to follow-up on other business a person may have initiated with Social Security.

But remember, Social Security employees will never threaten or demand any kind of payment in exchange for services.

It’s important to report any and all fraud. This can only strengthen the community and the families in it.

Social Security fraud may be reported online at https://oig. ssa.gov/report.

How to take a hunter education class in Utah SALT LAKE CITY — If you want to hunt in Utah this fall, you must complete the Utah Hunter Education Program prior to hunting. If you’ve never taken it, rest assured that it isn’t too late; but don’t put it off because classes fill up quickly!

To hunt in Utah, everyone born after Dec. 31, 1965, must complete a state-offered hunter education class or participate in the Trial Hunting Program. Here’s what you need to know to enroll in either: How to take a Hunter Education course There are two options for completing a hunter education course. You can take a traditional class led by an instructor or you can take an online course followed by a field day.

Both require a written test and a live-fire shooting exercise at the end.

Take the online class

The online course will teach you about firearm safety, hunter responsibility and ethics. It can be taken at your own pace. There are a few options for online courses. They range in price from $13 to $29 and you can find links to the approved courses on the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources website.

Once you finish the online portion of the course, you’ll print your proof of completion document. Then, you’ll need to purchase a Registration Certificate at any DWR office or a license agent. They are $10 and are required before you can do the field day.

Next, you’ll find a field day in your area and then contact the instructor to enroll. The field day times and locations can be found on the DWR website.

The field day typically lasts about five hours and includes hands-on workstations that help you with practical sce-

narios like crossing a fence with a firearm and identifying wildlife. It will also include a final written test and a live-fire shooting exercise at a shooting range.

Attend the instructor-led course in a classroom If you’d like to take the class in person, that is also an option. For this option as well, you’ll need to purchase the $10 Registration Certificate at any DWR office or a license agent.

You can find the nearest hunter education class to you and get contact information for the class instructors on the DWR website. The class format varies, but usually meets two nights a week and runs for three or four weeks. In the class, you’ll learn how to handle a firearm and how to shoot it safely, as well as hunter responsibility, survival skills and how to identify wildlife.

After completing the inclass portion, you’ll meet at a shooting range where you’ll demonstrate your ability to shoot a small-caliber rifle safely.

Which is better?

There’s isn’t really a better option because it depends on how you best learn and what your schedule is like. However, if you want to be in the field hunting on Sept. 1, the online option might be the way to go because you can finish it faster.

Plus, it allows you to take it at a time that is convenient for you.

“If you have a young child who’s taking the course, you can help them understand what they’re learning by sitting by their side and going through the course material with them,” DWR Hunter Education Coordinator Gary Cook said. “Your child can also take the course at his or her own speed. And they

can go back and review the material as often as they like.”

However, if you don’t know much about hunting, taking the course in a classroom might be the best option so you can ask questions and get more feedback and instruction from those with experience. The classes are taught by volunteer instructors who are also experienced hunters. This is also the cheapest option.

Trial Hunting Program Utah’s Trial Hunting Program is another way to get in the field this fall. The program gives you a chance to go hunting with an experienced hunter and see if it is something you’d like to pursue. You are not required to take hunter education to participate in this program.

Anyone 12 years of age or older can join the program. You just need to be accompanied by a licensed hunter who is 21

or older. To participate, you must complete a brief online orientation course, which can be found on the DWR website.

You also need to buy a hunting license and the permit for the species you’d like to hunt. In this program, you are eligible for the following: Combination or hunting licenses (good for hunting all small game, including upland game and waterfowl) General-season deer and elk permits Permits to hunt bear, cougar, sage-grouse, sandhill crane, sharp-tailed grouse, swan and turkey You can learn more about the program on the DWR website.

“Both of these are great ways to get started in hunting, a sport that not only allows you to get fresh, locally-sourced meat, but also gives you a unique opportunity to get outdoors,” Cook said.

DWR regional fishing report UTAH DWR — Updated fishing reports from around the area provided by Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) are as follows: Benches Pond Fishing is good, especially early in the morning or later in the evening. The pond was stocked most recently on June 25 with 500 rainbow trout averaging almost 11 inches long.

NEPHI-- Zelda Jean Holman Bowles, age 82, peacefully passed away July 24, 2019, in Nephi, UT; surrounded by her family.

Jean was born Jan. 18, 1937, in Fountain Green, UT; to Elmer Lavier and Zelda Ingaborg Jacobson Holman. She was the youngest of six children.

She graduated from Moroni High in 1955, where she received many awards and honors. Her education was very important to her. She especially loved music, chorus, playing clarinet in the band and commercial classes.

She learned shorthand and bookkeeping and had a passion for both.

Jean met the love of her life, Alvin Clarence Bowles, and got engaged in 1953. He was called off in the army to Germany and Jean waited 17 months for his return.

They were married June 24, 1955, in the Manti Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They were married for 54 wonderful years.

Jean was a hard worker and loved working with numbers. She worked at Parkin Motor Company for 35.5 years as a bookkeeper, secretary and accountant. She also worked for Juab County as the county treasurer for 13 years. Jean retired in 2007.

Jean held various church callings throughout her life.

She played the piano well and loved to sing. She loved planting and caring for flowers in her garden and was always so proud of her rose bushes. She enjoyed traveling.

Jeanʼs greatest joy in life though was her family. She spent countless hours supporting her children and grandchildren in everything they did.

She loved watching ballgames, dance recitals, swimming lessons, gymnastics and many other activities they were involved in. If she knew about it, she was there! She loved her family so much and showed us that love with her words and actions. She will be greatly missed.

Jean is survived by her children, Allan (Leslie) Bowles, Richfield; Cheryl (Terry) Kay, Mona; JaNae (Blair) Kay, Mona; Brent (Tammy) Bowles, Nephi; 17 grandchildren and 30 great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Clarence, her parents and her siblings.

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m., Thursday, Aug. 1 in the Nephi Fourth and Fifth Ward Church, 345 East 500 North, with a viewing one hour prior to services.

Family and friends may call Wednesday evening, July 31, from 6-8 p.m., at the Anderson Funeral Home, 94 West 300 North, Nephi.

providing service to community organizations.

Developing the courage to put herself out there was a challenge that Evans had to overcome in order to get to where she is today. “I always felt that I was too shy to do pageants,” Nikki said.

“But, after watching my cousins compete, I felt I was ready to step out of my comfort zone and give it a try. I have always loved the way my cousins carried out their platforms and the way they would help serve their community. I wanted to do the same for Sanpete County.”

Nikki’s platform focused on “Teens Behind Screens.”

line predators tripling in the past four years, privacy and safety are great concerns and a common problem,” stated Evans. She spent the past year educating parents and children about safe apps and measures to take to ensure safety online and with devices.

One of the greatest lessons Nikki has learned through preparation and competition was to “never give up.” The first time Nikki competed she didn’t win. Learning from that experience, she set her sights on a goal and created a plan to get there. She practiced interview questions every day for an entire year in preparation for the next competition.

On the day of the competition, the judges asked

a question that stumped her and she felt like she had blown the whole interview. “I almost let that one question get to me even after the interview had ended,” she said.

“But, I was competing with a purpose and decided to finish stronger than I had started.”

Nikki went on to win the title of Miss Sanpete County Outstanding Teen that night, and learned a valuable lesson, that she can accomplish anything if she doesn’t give up.

As Nikki completes her year of service, she is looking forward to competing for the MissSanpete County crown, and will continue her education as a senior at Manti High School this coming fall.
