The Pyramid
MILBURN — A fire, now known as Hilltop Fire, started on Monday afterc noon Aug. 6, located southeast of Inc dianola and west of Milburn in north Sanpete County. The cause of the fire is under investigation at this time. Local and state resources rec sponded to an initial report of 50 acres, but the fire grew in size quickly and more resources, including air atc tack were ordered and used. Black Hawk Estates, and areas north of Hilltop Road and west of Milburn Road are under mandatory evacuations affecting more than 100 people. Over 150 structures are threatened, two have been lost. Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox, who lives in Fairview just south of Milburn, shared fire updates on Twitter. He wrote, “This one is close to home for me.” He also shared photos of farmers setting up irrigation sprinklers in their fields in an effort to protect crops and to act as fire lines.
Fire broke out on the hill southeast of Indianola, west of Milburn, on Monday afternoon, Aug. 6, and at press time had consumed over 1,000 acres and two structures. Mandatory evacuations are in place for the area. (Photo courtesy of Cody Beck) During a press briefing, Cox rec ported that on Monday night offic� cials were helping residents remove livestock from the area that were also at risk of loss. “We knew it was comc ing, especially this year, as dry as it is,” said Cox.
At press time the fire was estimated at about 1,000 acres in size and zero percent contained. Dozers were used to put in a fire line on the northwest edge. Fire managers are directing crews to directly attack on the north flank of
the fire. Structure protection is one of their objectives. Dozers and one road grader will continue working to imc plement fire lines and anchor points. The fire is burning in timber, brush and short grass. Current resources include 95 perc sonnel, 16 engines, four dozers, one helicopter and one hand crew. Coc operators involved include Utah Dic vision of Forestry and Fire and State Lands. At times the smoke has been quite heavy, thick and will be visible from Heber, Spanish Fork, Sanpete County and surrounding areas. At press time there are road cloc sures in effect. The Milburn road, heading north out of Fairview, and the Hilltop road, which connects Milburn east to Highway 89, are both closed. Highway 89 is open, but travelers in the area are encouraged to be cautious and beware of distractions which can cause accidents. No stopping along Highway 89 is allowed in the vicinity of the fire.

suppress Coal Hollow Fire
PRICE — Fire crews are fighting a lightning-caused fire near Coal Hollow, in the mountains about 1.5 miles from State Route 6 (SR6) and residences in the Dairy Fork Community, which is located at mile marker 195 east of the Thistle Junction in Utah County. The fire started Aug. 4 and was driven by hot, dry winds. The fire has burned about 2,300 acres. It is burning in heavy timc ber and dry brush, a mix of conic fer, pinion-juniper, Gamble oak and other brush. The fire is exc tremely smoky, which can hamper fire fighters on the ground and air support. There are some structures near the fire in the Dairy Hollow area. An air tanker has dropped retardant in an effort to prevent further spread of the fire and helicopters are bec ing used to drop water. Crews have begun direct attack operations off the Dairy Fork Road. Railroad tracks, power lines, SR-6 and the Dairy Fork comc munity are threatened by the fire. There are 110 personnel working on the fire, with more resources ordered. Because firefighting crews and equipment are responding to fires throughout the west, availc able resources are limited. A National Type 2 Incident Management Team has taken over the fire operations, bringing more resources to assist with fire supc pression. The Dairy Fork Road is closed and a temporary flight restriction is being ordered over the fire area. Drones are not allowed in the airc space over the fire. Drones are a safety hazard when fires are being fought from the air. When drones are in the area, aviation resources cannot be used. Drivers on SR-6 and in the area are asked to exercise caution and avoid distraction caused by fire activity (helicopters filling water buckets close to the highway). Everyone is reminded that there are fire restrictions in place on the Manti-La Sal National Forest. Campfires are limited to fire rings constructed by the Forest Service at developed recreation sites like campgrounds and picnic areas. Stoves with an on/off switch that use liquid fuel are allowed on the Forest. Route and area closures are in place to ensure public and firec fighter safety during fire operac tions. Area Description: Starting at the intersection of the National Forest boundary and the Lake Fork Road, proceeding easterly to the Junction with Forest Road 0006 (Dairy Fork Canyon Road) thence; Northerly along Forest Road 0006 to the National Forest Boundary thence; westerly along the Nac tional Forest boundary to the point of beginning at the Lake Fork Road. Closures include: Forest Road 0070/Lake Fork Canyon Road Segment (from the National Forest boundary in Lake Fork Canyon to the junction of Forest Road 0006), and Forest Road 0006/Dairy Fork Canyon Road (entire length from the junction with Forest Road 0070 to the National Forest boundary).

Exercise your rights Dear Editor: We live in a country where we have rights. We have the right to bear arms, the right to hold property, the right of free speech, the right of our personal religious expression. In these and other rights we find our freedom, freedom from unauthorized search and seizure, persecution or repression, freedom from tyranny. We are grateful that we have such in our country. But, do not be deceived. We could lose them, all of them. How can we keep these from being taken? The key is found in understanding that our freedoms are not just freedoms ‘from’ they are also freedoms ‘to’. We must use them, express them, implement and flex them to hold them, to keep them strong. Our rights are our constitutional muscles and we have to put them to work if we are to remain strong as a country.
Part of this is found in allowing ourselves to get involved, vote, campaign and fight for causes that are dear to us. We can move to expand the lawful expression of each of these. We can protect ourselves, get trained, get a concealed permit and carry. We can speak our mind in the public square, write to our representatives and serve in our community. We can pray. We need to pray. This, one of our most powerful rights is currently under cultural siege. Yes, we can have our personal expressions in our homes and in our churches, but our culture, this post-modern culture is offended when our faith shows, for it presents conflict with their humanistic ways. The truth is, we have a right to stand where we stand, even when it shows. Our country would do well to encourage prayer in the pub-
T H E
lic square. I am not just talking about asking a blessing in a restaurant (though that couldn’t hurt with what we are consuming). I am talking about faith clubs in the schools (it is legal). I am saying let, even encourage the Native American community to move forward, to hold that rain dance they are joking about. Seriously, we could use all the help we can get. More than that, our communities, each of them, would benefit from praying together. If we gathered civic, business and faith leaders together on a regular basis with other concerned citizens, talked about what is important in our community and prayed together it could change things. It could be good. It would be good to do that on an even playing field, as equals, as friends, maybe over a meal. It is actually happening, now. There is a movement in
the Sanpete to hold a monthly prayer breakfast in each of our communities, gather together business, civic and faith leaders and anyone else who has a prayer for a better community. Places have been arranged for in Mt. Pleasant, Ephraim and Manti and times have been set. Now, it is up to each community to come together, to make it happen. It could be worth the effort, it might even make a difference. In Ephraim at Kalama’s – Aug. 14th (the second Tuesday) at 9:00 am In Mt. Pleasant at Tap-Z-Log — Aug. 21st (the third Tuesday) at 10:00 am In Manti at Dirk’s Farmhouse – Aug. 28th (the fourth Tuesday) at 9:00 am For more information contact Terrel R.

water sources.” Jones says hunting from tree stands isn’t popular in the West, but this season might be the perfect time to give it a try. “If a hunter finds a water source, and then waits in a tree stand near that source, the chances of taking a deer will go way up this year,” he says. But, remember that the building of a tree stand on land managed by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) or the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is
not allowed. However, hunting from a portable tree stand is fine. Jones says deer numbers have dipped a bit in Utah this year, but with 363,000 bucks, does and fawns estimated in the state in January 2018, plenty of bucks are still available to hunt. Utah’s general archery buck deer hunt starts Aug. 18. Jones has the following tips, advice and reminders for those headPlease see WATER, Page A3

Dumb people One definition of the word “dumb” is: adjective – informal: stupid or dull-witted. I’ve written about “dumb people” here before, but I’m constantly running into them, so it’s often on my mind. (Of course, I’m one of them in many instances) We went on a trip two or three weeks ago and the flights went well. When we arrived back in Salt Lake City, the plane arrived about ten minutes early. The pilot proudly announced that anyone with connecting flights should be able to easily get to them in plenty of time. However, one lady seated a few rows behind us was bound and determined to get off the plane ahead of as many people as possible. She kept saying, “I’ve got to make a connecting flight” as she pushed and shoved past people. We fellow passengers were all looking at each other silently communicating, “This is really dumb!” It reminded me of being in the Atlanta airport a few years ago. We had arrived late because of lightning storm delays that kept us on the ground in Ft. Lauderdale. A huge number of us on the flight had missed our connecting flights and many of us had to spend the night before being able to continue on the next day. As we got off the plane and into the airport a woman was loudly and forcefully telling the airline agent over and over again, “This is not acceptable, this is not acceptable!” All of us who were watching seemed to be thinking the same thing, “this is just dumb.” My oldest brother doesn’t always use the proper tact and diplomacy that perhaps he should. I suppose that could be said for many of us at various times. We all have those moments when we let the unvarnished truth come out and we make our points strongly than otherwise would be more gently given. Some years ago, after his retirement, my brother and his wife were doing some volunteer work. They were signing up kids and preparing for a big youth event. I guess there had been quite a bit of frustration with some of the preparations and arrangements. My brother reported to me that he “couldn’t believe how many dumb people there are in the world.” Apparently a woman had called just at the right moment to get my brother’s straight-up, un-cushioned personality. The woman: “Do I have to be there to help my 14-yearold son sign up for the program?” My brother: “Well, I guess that depends on how dumb your kid is. If he’s really dumb, then you’d better be with him. If he’s not too dumb for a 14-year-old, then he should be all right by himself.” My brother continued:
Find water, deer during archery buck hunt starting Aug. 18 SALT LAKE CITY — Those who have a permit to hunt during the general archery buck deer hunt should look for water as a primary goal. In addition to serving as the Division of Wildlife Resources’ (DWR) big game coordinator, Covy Jones is an avid archery hunter. He says a lack of water this year makes finding a water source more important than ever. Jones says deer get water from three sources: ‘free water’

“When I was that age, our Boy Scout leaders dumped us out with our backpacks and a map and then picked us up a week later after we had hiked 50 miles by ourselves. But I don’t know how kids are these days.” I’m not sure what kind of response the poor woman gave to that little outpouring from my brother, but I hope that she got enough subsequent conversation to understand that my brother is not mean spirited. He is just sarcastic. Sarcasm doesn’t run in our family, it practically gallops. (That’s a paraphrase of a line from the play “Arsenic and Old Lace” when the actor is speaking of insanity.) When my son went to his Army National Guard basic training at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma; he would have agreed with my brother about dumb people. He reported that there were a lot of dumb guys that had a hard time learning to take orders at boot camp. One dumb soldier could make the whole platoon pay by receiving increased duty and endless push-ups. I wonder sometimes if we have dumb people in Sanpete. I mean besides me. The answer is: Of course we do. There are dumb people everywhere. And furthermore, everyone who I have ever met can be dumb on occasion. We all do and say stupid things. One of my childhood memories of doing something stupid was taking a permanent marker and marking back and forth on a little hole in an inner tube. I was going to use it to float in the canal. When asked what I was doing, I said I was fixing a hole in the tube. When pressed for more information, I proudly showed the words on the marker pen: “Leak-proof.” You can imagine how stupid I felt when through the laughter (at me), I finally got the concept that it was the marker itself that was leakproof and not that it could be used to repair leaks. I don’t think that we here in Sanpete are dumber than people anywhere else. I take umbrage to the “dumb country bumpkin” concept that some people have about us. Some people here buy into the idea that we in the rural boondocks are not as sharp as city folk. They point as evidence to the fact that we are here and they are there. I see it differently. We are here and they are there, and that seems to be pretty smart on our part, in my opinion. As you deal with me and the other dumb people you’ll run into occasionally in your life, remember these two words: Tolerance and Patience. Oh, by the way, this is my new prayer (speaking of patience): “Lord, Please give me patience. And give it to me NOW!”

ing afield: Keep meat cool After taking a deer, don’t hang it in a tree to try to cool the meat. The hot temperatures will spoil it. And, hanging a deer in a tree might draw bears into the campsite. Instead, after taking a deer, cut the animal up in the field, and remove the meat from the bone. After removing the meat, place it in a cooler. “Dry ice can be used to cool the meat quickly and keep it cool for a prolonged period,” Jones says. “Keep the meat as cool as possible.” Careful with fire Several massive wildfires have burned in Utah this year, and conditions are prime for more. Before heading afield, contact the USFS or the BLM to learn if campfires are allowed in the planned hunting area. If allowed, keep the fire small, and make sure it’s completely extinguished before leaving. Pour water on the fire, stir, more water, stir, until it’s cold to the touch. If it’s too hot to touch, it’s too hot to leave! Be patient Finding success during the archery hunt requires stealth and patience. For example, if planning to spot and stalk, don’t walk through the woods, hoping to find a deer without spooking it. Instead, spend time glassing the area to find deer and the areas where they’re bedding. Then, after the deer have bedded, plan the stalk, remaining quiet and doing all that’s possible to approach the deer at an angle that keeps personal body scent from reaching the deer. Walk 90 degrees into wind As the sun heats the ground, the wind direction changes. For example, wind almost al-
ways blows up canyons in the morning and down canyons in the afternoon. To know the direction the wind is blowing, buy an inexpensive item called a wind or breeze checker. Releasing powder from the checker will let a user know the direction the wind is blowing. Once the direction the wind is blowing has been determined, approach the deer from the side, a 90-degree angle, rather than approaching it with the wind in your face, a 180-degree angle. The reason to not approach with the wind in your face, is that, if the wind shifts and starts blowing from a hunter’s back, it’ll blow the hunter’s scent directly to the deer. Approaching from the side lessens the chance that a wind shift will carry a hunter’s scent to a deer. Be courteous, have fun If planning to hunt on public land, there will be other hunters. “Be courteous,” Jones says, “and help each other have a good experience. The archery hunt is a great time to be in Utah’s mountains. Enjoy the time afield.” Visit hunt planner Before going afield, visit www.wildlife.utah.gov/huntplanner, the agency’s Utah Hunt Planner website. While navigating the site, users will find notes from the biologist who manages the planned hunting unit, general information about the unit, and safety and weather items. Information about the number of bucks on the units, compared to the number of does, is also given. Users will also find maps that show the units’ boundaries, which land is public and which is private, and the various types of deer habitat on the unit.

BLM proceeding with Muddy Creek wild horse gather PRICE — Due to declining rangeland health, overpopulation and continued drought conditions, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Price Field Office will conduct a wild horse gather at the Muddy Creek Herd Management Area (HMA) beginning in August. The BLM plans to gather an estimated 149 wild horses. Once gathers have been completed and upon reaching appropriate management level, fertility control would be administered to horses to help reduce the population increase in the HMA. The Muddy Creek HMA is located in Emery County, ap-
proximately 20 miles south of Ferron, in the San Rafael Swell. It consists of approximately 283,400 acres of public and state lands. The gather impacts are described and analyzed in the Muddy Creek Wild Horse Gather Plan Environmental Assessment (EA). The EA and Decision Record are posted on the BLM web-site at: https:// go.usa.gov/xUWVK. Horses removed from the range will be prepared for the BLM adoption and sale program. For more information on how to adopt or purchase a wild horse or burro, visit the BLM National Wild Horse and
Burro website at www.blm. gov/whb or call (866) 4687826. For additional gather-specific information, contact Mike Tweddell at (435) 636-3609. Persons who use a telecommunications device for the deaf may call the Federal Relay Service (FRS) at 1-800-877-8339 to leave a message or question for the above individual. The FRS is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Replies are provided during normal business hours. About BLM The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land located primarily in 12 West-
ern states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The agency’s mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. Diverse activities authorized on these lands generated $75 billion in sales of goods and services throughout the American economy in fiscal year 2016, more than any other agency in the Department of the Interior. These activities supported more than 372,000 jobs.
Five ways to head back to school in style (StatePoint) — When it comes to back-to-school fashion, it’s all about the intersection of form and function. Here are five ways to stylishly accessorize and gear up for school. Get covered Ensure the longevity of pricey tablets, phones and other mobile devices with durable, waterproof cases. This is an opportunity for students to not only take better care of their items but to also express themselves. Cases come in all styles and prints these days, replicating favorite paintings, landscape photography and more, and many online retailers even allow purchasers to design a unique case by uploading their own image. Make math fun Strut math stuff in class with a stylish calculator such as the Casio fx-9750GII. It comes in pink, blue or
white and has 200+ hours of battery life and a variety of graphing functions, making it both a needed item, and one that users will want. Pump up kicks This back-to-school season, do a quick audit of family footwear, even for feet that are no longer growing. Worn out shoes can cause discomfort and foot issues down the line and of course, everyone wants to start the school year looking sharp. Put the best foot forward with new pairs for all personal needs: sneakers for sports and gym class, loafers, oxfords or a style of choice for everyday use, and looking ahead, boots for when the weather gets cold. Keep time Keep time with a stylish timepiece that looks great with any outfit while keeping organized. Check out those
from the Vintage Timepiece Collection from Casio, which have a classic design and a variety of useful features, including alarms, stopwatches and auto-calendars. Water resistant and EL-backlit, they’re a practical accessory for getting to class on time. Set eye sights The back-to-school season is the ideal time of year to get vision checked. An out-of-date prescription can make focusing on the blackboard a challenge. Stay ahead of the class with the right pair of lenses. As for frames, these days there are more choices than ever when it comes to finding a pair that matches personal style. To get an idea of what a person likes, check out online tools that offer sizing and style guides and let users upload their photo to envision what different frames will look
While preparing for going back-to-school, consider five ways to go in style. (Photo © Rawpixel.com / stock.Adobe.com) like on their face. Carry it all A backpack or satchel is with students all day, every day, so let it display their personal style. But be sure to select a bag that’s not only big enough to carry all the books, binders and supplies, but one that’s also ergonomic.
The right choice will distribute weight in a way that helps avoid shoulder, neck and back strain. Another factor to keep in mind is water-resistance and its ability to protect laptops and other tech gear. After selecting a bag, consider personalizing it with patches, pins or whatever the preferences are.

Ted 0. Sorensen 1927~2018 Ted died a few days ago. He had TMB (90). He was born in the Little Denmark part of Spring City, UT. His parents were Hyrum and Emma (Osborne) Sorensen. He was preceded in death by his parents, one brother and one sister and survived by his sister, Rochelle (Pacheco). Ted knew how fortunate he was to have a little sister. He was so very grateful for all the help Rochelle, and her husband, Joe, gave him in his old age. Ted enlisted in the army in 1945 and was sent overseas to serve in the ETO. After WWII he and Trautel (Waldtraut Knuth) were married in Berlin, Germany. They had one son, Peter, who was made in Japan. Both Trautel and Peter previously passed away. Ted became a regular army officer and also served in Korea and Vietnam, as well as several posts in the USA. After his army retirement Ted worked for the State of Utah where he did budgeting and provided management services for the Dept. of Human Services. Ted and Trautel followed Peter to Saint George when he moved down here. They enjoyed many years with their friends in doing potlucks and other social and church activities. Ted said that he had no claim to fame. Except, a couple years after he became legally blind, he beat his golfing buddies at Dixie Red Hills. They never lived that down. That day Ted put away his clubs and never played the dumb game again. Ted had great respect for and envy of the true believers. Still he struggled, as many oldies do, with doubts about the hereafter. He wondered if he could be wrong and just maybe he would be with Trautel and Peter again. Ted didn't give up hope, and finally became content to wait until now to get the answers for himself. A memorial service will be held in Salt Lake City.

EPHRAIM-- Our loving mom, grandma, sister, and friend, Colleen Hermansen, passed away on Aug. 5, 2018, after a long and courageous battle with many serious health issues. Colleen was born June 13, 1946, to Carl and Blanche Barentsen. She married Morris Hermansen July 30, 1965, in the Manti LDS Temple. He preceded her in death in 2013 after 48 years of marriage, and we picture a joyous reunion. Colleen worked for Snow College for 29 years and will be remembered there for her dedication, hard work, meticulous minutes, and, most of all, her kindness. Faculty members, staff, and student workers could always be found in her office chatting with her because they were drawn to her presence, where she lifted their spirits. Colleen leaves behind a legacy of compassion, selflessness, and quiet generosity. She spent her entire life caring for, listening to, and serving her family, her many friends, and even strangers who were in need. She loved pretty things, butterflies, Christmas lights, newborn babies, autumn leaves, books, traveling, music, game shows, theater, Diet Coke, and, most of all, her children and grandchildren. She was a fabulous cook and baker. Many babies have been wrapped in her cozy crocheted-flannel blankets. While physically able, she never missed a performance, sporting event, or momentous occasion. Colleen was genuine and witty. We will miss the way she made each of us feel like we were amazing, talented, wonderful, and strong. Colleen is survived by her children Gina Pinckney (Mike), Carl (Jeanie), Erica Hill (Anthony), and Cameron (Rachel). She is also survived by 11 grandchildren: Jacob, Zachary, Kaytlynn (TR), Carly, Mariah, Emily, Madelynn, Tyler, Sarah, Connor, and Tanner, who adored her and were the light of her life. She leaves behind siblings Joan Larsen (Dale) and Jerry Barentsen (DeAnn). She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, and brother, Robert. We appreciate the loving care she received from Ashford Assisted Living.
