Dream home destroyed in minutes BY KEN HANSEN

Editor’s Note: Because of their well-known presence on social media, at the request of the family the location of their home is being withheld for personal safety and privacy. SANPETE COUNTY—Just before 10 p.m. Thursday, August 6 a dream years in the making burnt to the ground. Seth and Jenna Wright received a call telling them that their beautiful hand-crafted home was in flames. Neighbors in the surrounding communities have watched over the past two years as the couple and their children built the house literally stone by stone, with boulders they split by hand on their property. The stonework had been completed just a few weeks before and work in earnest had begun on the inside. “I haven’t stopped crying. It’s unreal,” said Jenna wright, a mother of six young children. She and her husband Seth purchased the property four years ago with the dream of building an English-style home. Jenna said that she didn’t want a home that looked like an old home. She wanted a new home that looked like it had been built “back then.” With that in mind, Seth set to work. “When you get to know Seth, you will learn that when he wants to do something he will figure out a way to do it,” Jenna said. Seth spent seven months splitting the stone with two other guys, and their two oldest sons. “We had worked and saved for years, and sold both of our businesses to be able to move to the country and build our home. We put everything into it.” “The day before this happened I just said to Seth I wanted to be in the house by Christmas. The house is here, the farm and animals are here, the kids’ friends are here.” The night of the fire Seth had just returned to the home they are in temporarily until they complete their dream home. Not long after the Wrights received a phone call that would change their lives. “The Schlappis saw the fire first and called us,” Jenna said. By the time the Wrights made the drive to the building site the home was already gutted. The Wright’s neighbor Tyler Schlappi said, “We were outside at 9:45 and there were no flames; nothing suspicious.” Around 9:50 p.m. he went outside and saw the whole house engulfed in flames and he called 911. “The dumpster next to the house was on fire and there were a lot of

The family hand-cut the stone for the house and Seth designed and custom-built the windows. embers and ash and me and all the kids just started stomping them out.” The Schlappis also gathered the Wright’s dogs, horses, and other animals and took them away from the fire where it was safe. “They’re good friends of ours, Schlappi said. “Our kids were over there just a few hours before the fire started playing with their kids over at the house. “We have enjoyed watching them create their dream home. It’s just heart breaking to just see all that hard work go up in flames in just a matter of minutes.” The house was not the only thing the Wrights lost in the fire. Seth had just started a new business making windows – he hand-made the windows for the house out of steel and others wanted windows just like them. His tools for that new business were also in the house. There were also eight truckloads of white oak flooring. With the Wrights doing the majority of the work on their home, insurance will cover a relatively small part of the family’s loss. It was a construction insurance policy so none of their sweat equity or things like Seth’s tools are covered. “We can’t touch anything until the construction insurance investigative team comes,” Seth said.” The state investigator came and determined that the fire wasn’t caused by arson, but were unable to determine the cause. The state marshal said you’re not going to find anything in this. You could spend a lot of money and do a lot of fancy research but he says that when it’s at this point there are

The Wright’s dream house smoulders after being gutted by a fire the night of August 6. In a matter of minutes thousands of hours of hard work was gone.

no smoke patterns or nothing.” The Wrights have since learned that a professional contractor they had hired to help on the house likely made a tragic mistake that lead to the fire. “He feels terrible about it,” Jenna said. “But we hold no malice toward him. We know mistakes happen.” “If we rebuild – when, it won’t be wood-framed. He originally wanted to build it with solid stone and maybe cinder block inside, but we didn’t have the time or the money,” said Jenna. “I don’t know how or when, but next time.” When asked what next Seth said, “I don’t know. We’ve got to try and figure that out.” ““I don’t know if we have it in us to do it all again,” Jenna continued. Jenna said their next move was to get a hold of the city and see if they can try to build just another really small house on the property; “Just something like a kitchen family room, and one bedroom and a loft upstairs for the kids to sleep in until we figure it out.” “When I was a kid my parents moved to this area and we lived in

this area for five years. I wanted to raise my kids down here,” Seth said. Looking for the good, as he saw the charred timbers that were supposed to be exposed beams in the kitchen area of the house, Seth said, “I wonder if I can take all that char off. And then have like really weathered beams and we could build a table. Maybe we can just scrape off the top like a burnt piece of toast.” Sharing in his optimism Jenna said, “I can’t bear the thought of tearing this down.” The extreme heat of the fire completely compromised the house’s foundation.” If we can I want to stabilize the foundation and stabilize the walls. They won’t okay it enough to inhabit it, but if we could do a courtyard garden in it and maybe build our house next to it, maybe someday.” Walking around the house there are puddles of glass that dripped from Seth’s hand-made windows. Some of the glass is still clinging to the frames in globs. “I want to find a really cool piece of it and make some artwork out of it,” he said. “This is part of our story now. It makes you very keenly aware of all

that matters. We’ve seen so many miracles. With all the loss and heartache there have been so many people, it’s an amazing community… It’s hard to see in the world all the good. With this it was instant to see that there is always more good than bad and sometimes it take tragedy to see that.” Turning to her belief in God, Jenna said, “I can say look at all we have put in to this and now it’s gone or I can say he saved us before we moved in. We thought we were building a house, but through the whole thing he has been refining us and building us.” “If this had happened after we were living here we could have lost family. To me that’s the biggest miracle… We can be sad about it forever but it’s not going to change.” Jenna said, “I woke up the next morning feeling like it was a bad nightmare.” They had put their youngest baby in bed with them because they were so tired from staying up watching the fire burn. When she woke up he was just smiling at her and staring at her. “It was like this heavy ache but when I saw him it was like, mom, we’re all here.” Family has set up a GoFundMe to help the Wrights at https://gf.me/u/ ynjpik.

GVH nurse receives COVID-19 preparedness award

Gunnison Valley Hospital nurse Brenda Bartholomew was awarded the COVID-19 Preparedness and Response Award for her outstanding efforts over the past six months in guiding the hospital through the pandemic.

GUNNISON — Gunnison Valley Hospital’s chief nursing officer Brenda Bartholomew has once again been recognized for providing outstanding healthcare. The Utah Office of Primary Care and Rural Health has awarded Bartholomew with the COVID-19 Preparedness and Response Award for her outstanding efforts over the past six months in guiding the hospital through the pandemic. “Brenda has done a remarkable job in preparing the hospital for COVID response,” said Greg Rosenvall, director of rural hospital improvement at the Utah Hospital Association. “In addition, her efforts to lead a group of chief nursing officers in nine other rural Utah hospitals to discuss ongoing COVID response issues and to collaborate with ideas and new information are critical during these unprecedented times.” With Bartholomew’s guid-

ance, Gunnison Valley Hospital started preparing in earnest for a COVID-19 outbreak in early February. Immediately measures were put in place to help keep the patients and staff safe and healthy, including, working closely with the Utah Department of Health and Central Utah Department of Health to share information, monitor the status of the disease, and get ready for the expected spread of the virus in Utah. “Both before and during this pandemic, Brenda has never lost sight of the hospital’s mission and has remained committed to delivering better quality, better outcomes and better patient satisfaction each and every day,” said Mark Dalley, hospital administrator at Gunnison Valley Hospital. “She puts one hundred percent into everything she does, and the patients and employees are grateful to have her at the hospital.”

Hollow Fire contained; fire season in full swing BY GLORIA ALBRECHT

INDIANOLA — Friday, July 31, 2020 at 1:32 PM a column of smoke was spotted south and west of Indianola in Sanpete County. Firefighters and air tankers responded quickly to the new “Hollow Fire” and before the day was over evacuations were ordered between Big Horn Ranch Road and Beck Road. Lieutenant Governor Spencer Cox, who lives in Fairview, just south of Indianola, was reportedly driving home on Highway 89 Friday afternoon when he saw the smoke. For many residents of Sanpete County, it brought back memories of the Wood Hollow fire which burned ferociously for ten days in 2012, destroying 160 structures including 52 homes and claiming one life. That Wood Hollow fire, which was started by arcing power lines consumed 75 square miles of brush, grass, and heavy fuels. Residents as far south as Fairview were evacuated and smoke filled the entire Sanpete Valley. An

estimated four million dollars was spent suppressing the 2012 Wood Hollow Fire. The Hollow Fire started in the burn scar of the Wood Hollow Fire. Even with much of the dense fuels previously burned, the Hollow Fire moved quickly due to extreme dry conditions and record high temperatures. “Fuels are just so dry; fire is moving quickly. We’ve seen that on a number of incidents this year, so far,” said Kait Webb with the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands. “We had such a hot and dry spring and that has carried into the summer. The fuels here are very dry. Firefighters were experiencing active fire behavior yesterday” Webb reported. The dry fuels burned quickly as the Hollow Fire was attacked by hot shot crews, engine crews and air resources who had the Hollow Fire 40% contained by Saturday evening. Fire fighter crews remained on the scene until Tuesday, August 4th, when the fire was listed as

contained at 2:30 pm after burning 1,416 acres, a shed and a camper. The cause of the Hollow Fire is still under investigation. On Thursday, July 23 U.S. the Forest Service implemented Stage 1 Fire Restrictions for Sanpete, Ferron and Price ranger districts of the Manti-La Sal National Forest, prohibiting “igniting, building, maintaining, or using fire , including charcoal briquettes, outside a fire structure that is provided by the Forest Service” and “smoking outside an enclosed vehicle or building”. Exemptions apply however, for authorized Forest Service employees, persons using a stove or grill fueled by liquid petroleum fuel, persons using a stove in a designated area, persons smoking in an area at least three feet in diameter that is cleared of all flammable materials and Federal, State or local officials or members of a rescue or firefighting force in performance of an official duty. The Utah Department of Natural Resources imple-

mented a Fire Restriction Order on July 13 which is designed to prevent ignition of forest and rangeland fires. In addition to the Forest Service restrictions outlined above it also prohibits discharging or using any fireworks, tracer ammunition, or other pyrotechnic devices including exploding targets. The restrictions also prohibited is the cutting, welding or grinding of metal in areas of dry vegetation and operating a motorcycle, chainsaw, ATV or other small internal combustion engine without an approved, working spark arrestor. The DNR and USFS issued extreme fire risk warnings the beginning of August, reminding us that the 2020 fire season is currently peaking. Fire officials urge citizens to remain vigilant and report suspicious smoke as soon as possible while adhering to the restrictions put in place by the DNR and Forest Service. Work safe, travel safe and play safe so we can all stay safe this season.

Study shows women in leadership positions in state government sees progress JULENE REESE

USU Extension

LOGAN — A new research study from Utah State University’s Utah Women & Leadership Project (UWLP), in conjunction with USU Extension, reports that state government leaders are implementing strategies to diversify gender leadership, but there are still opportunities for improvement. The research is the first in a series that focuses on women leaders who work in Utah’s public sector. It will be followed by similar analysis at the county and municipal levels. The groundbreaking study included an analysis of gender representation across 3,850 leadership positions within 53 Utah state agencies. Researchers were interested in understanding how women are represented in formal leadership roles within governments in Utah. The goal was to document a baseline of the number of women in leadership roles to track the progress made and help make improvements in the future.

Endowed Professor of Leadership in USU’s Huntsman School of Business, said identifying and mitigating persistent challenges and barriers clears the way for enhanced opportunities for women’s equal representation across state agencies and leadership levels. According to lead researcher April Townsend, the study showed that because departments and divisions tend to adopt “masculine” and “feminine” divisions of labor, the place a woman works often impacts her career progression. “Feminine” agencies tend to be redistributive areas such as education, social services, healthcare, the arts and veterans’ affairs. “Masculine” agencies are primarily administrative, distributive and regulatory, such as in business and economic development, labor, defense, transportation, taxes, budget, criminal justice, natural resources, agriculture and environmental quality. These divisions of labor often determined the type of leadership roles men and women held. The Utah Foundation, an independent research organization, notes that 13 of the 20 largest employers in the state are government entities, and when looking at the top 50 employers in Utah, nearly half are government entities. Because of the high rate of state government employment, it’s important to balance the role of men and women, not just as leaders generally,

but at all leadership levels, said Madsen. The research findings identified that women hold 39.3% of supervisory, managerial and leadership positions in Utah government. Women comprised 41.2 percent of front-line leadership positions, but just 27.1 percent of cabinet-level roles. “Our research states that organizations increasingly thrive when both men and women hold leadership roles and work together,” Madsen said. “Gender inclusivity in leadership benefits not only Utah’s businesses, but also its government organizations, such as state legislatures, city councils and state and local bureaucracies. A lack of women’s equal representation in the leadership ranks stands in stark contrast to the goal of a diverse government workforce.” The benefits of diverse leadership teams include improved strategic decision making, increased capacity for problem solving, enhanced resilience, increased innovation and expanded capacity to adapt to change. Researchers recommended several ways to increase gender diversity in Utah leadership: nn Make it clear that diversity is part of the organizational culture, with elected officials and top cabinet members playing an active role in prioritizing gender diversity and communicating that throughout state agencies. nn Develop strategic plans that clearly show steps for

recruiting and advancing women, with an eye to women of color, into leadership positions, particularly in agencies that may be considered “non-traditional” for women. nn Evaluate hiring processes to eliminate potentially outdated language, unnecessary minimum qualifications and other exclusionary measures. nn Update interview practices for hiring managers with a lens to diversity. Emphasize the need for training agency managers to raise their awareness of gender equity and to provide proper ways to address gender bias in the workplace. This includes incorporating unconscious bias training that addresses negative stereotypes of women managers and shows the benefits of hiring women leaders. nn Make gender diversity a priority by tracking and sharing the data, both inside and outside the organization. nn Train women and men to respond appropriately when they encounter gender bias in language, behavior or policy. “Having women at top levels can inspire other women to pursue their own advancement,” said Madsen. “It also increases the willingness to hire and promote highly skilled, competent women routinely. Shifting to more balanced leadership will benefit not only women and government organizations, but also families, communities and the state as a whole.” Visit the UWLP website at https://www.usu.edu/uwlp/.

Simon Cowell, Two Wheels and Me I have something in common with Simon Cowell. You know Simon. He’s the British guy who has been involved with the show “American Idol” and many others. He’s one of the judges on the TV show “America’s Got Talent.” He’s sometimes kind of rude and other times very sweet with the contestants. So, what do I have in common with Simon? Well, it isn’t our respective financial conditions. He’s worth about $600 million. My net worth is, well… south of $600 million; like McMurdo Station south. Check your Antarctica geography if that location is unfamiliar to you. We are both in our 60’s, but that’s not what I’m talking about. He’s 60 and I’m north of sixty; like Fairbanks, Alaska north of 60, if you know what I mean. I could turn this into a long guessing game, but I need the space here otherwise. I’ll just tell you what we have in common. Simon and I both recently got new “E-Bikes” (electric bicycles). Furthermore, both Simon and I got injured in the early going of figuring out how to manage operating our fancy dancey bikes. Simon, had worse luck than me. He klunked off his bike and broke his back in three places last weekend. He was trying the bike out in the courtyard of his Malibu, California home. His advice to his fans on Twitter about electric bikes, “…read the manual before you ride it for the first time.” I wasn’t actually on my new 49-pound e-bike when I went down to destruction about a week before Simon did. I was straddling the bike, walking awkwardly forward through a scary area. I was trying to be safe. (Had I been serious about being safe, I would have taken my wife’s advice and not gone through the “scary area.”) Long story short, I did my own klunking down. I’m still nursing bruised ribs, dinged shoulder, bruised foot, goose egg near my shin, and a big bruise to my ego. Riding a bike is serious business. And the selling of bicycles is big business. They’re very popular nationwide right now as people are looking for ways to get around and be socially distanced. Who would have thought? Motorhomes, travel trailers and pick-up trucks are in high demand as well. Of course, bicycles have been popular for a long time. When “Ugh,” the inventor of the wheel, realized that a unicycle wasn’t all that easy to operate, he added another wheel. Voila! – the bicycle was born! High speed transportation technology had begun. Immediately Ugh was

the talk (grunt) of the caveman community. He, and his partner “Ughette” were always the first ones to arrive at the full moon bonfire dance parties. (There may be an alternate history of bikes, but I like my version.) My history with bicycles began with an old handme-down, green bike with bad brakes. In order to stop, I had to slow down as best I could and then slam into a gap between the pickets in our yard picket fence. It worked. Then for Christmas I got a two-speed red Schwinn. Having two gears was wonderful. A skinny tire 10 speed bike with curly handlebars came later. That may have been what I was riding here in Sanpete back in the 1980’s when I was delivering a birthday cake to a family several blocks away. Riding at twilight, with one hand on the handlebar and the other hand balancing a three-layer cake, I hit a pothole in the road. It was a major “klunk moment” which resulted in a destroyed cake and broken elbow. Fast forward to present times. My immediate family members are all big fans of cycling. They are going on long, difficult rides constantly. One son was preparing for a cross country ride when the COVID-19 virus put the brakes on everything. This is the son who arranged for me and my wife to get the E-bikes. Diane has been a road bike enthusiast for years. I’m the one now being steered, encouraged and gently pushed into the world of two wheels again. There are applications for smart phones that track and record bike rides (and walks, runs, activities of all kinds). I downloaded the one that my kids use – Strava. Now my family, and the world, can see what kind of bicycle monkey business I’m up to now. I’m sure there will be more “clunks” in my future. I am wearing a helmet when I ride. It came in handy the second time I rode the new bike. It was no big deal. (No brain, no pain) I wear gloves and my kids made fun of me when I wore sandals. So, I changed my footwear choices. They’re all worried about my safety. My, how the tables are now turned. This may be a good time for Sanpeters to dust off their bicycles. Drag them out and oil them up. It can be great family fun, and exercise is something most of us need. Simon’s advice is good. I believe his message translates into: Be careful and know your limitations. His message, following his 6-hour surgery, ended with: “Stay safe everyone.” I’m going to try. I think I owe it to Ugh’s bicycle legacy. …Merrill

Be cautious of the effects this medication could have on you or someone else. A person abusing Soma also builds a tolerance and dependence for the drug. In a study of 20 Soma users, 13 of them admitted to using more than prescribed. To learn more about Soma abuse, visit www. narconon-suncoast.org/ drug-abuse/soma-effects. html.

Spring City area water restrictions SPRING CITY—The Horseshoe Irrigation Company announced that water restrictions are in effect and change often. According to the release the city pond keeps going

dry, causing the system to be shut off for days at a time due to overuse. They ask that water users please use the water use calculator located on the HorseshoeIrrigation.Com website, under “Sharehold-

ers”. Shareholders are reminded that no open hoses are allowed, and there is no saving water for more than three days. When the system is shut off users need to start from

scratch. Violators are subject to a fine of $150.00. Repeat violators will not be allowed to water for at least the rest of the season. Anyone with questions may call 435-851-5047.

Melinda Ostraff’s artwork uses encaustic painting, which is a way of painting with hot beeswax combined with pigments. She became intrigued with the way that the wax informs and transforms colors, shapes and textures.

FV Museum features local artist Melinda Ostraff FAIRVIEW — As part of its Rotating Artist Gallery, the Fairview Museum is excited to host the artwork of Melinda Ostraff. A reception for the artist will take place Friday, August 21 at the museum from 6:30-8 p.m. The museum is located at 85 North 100 East in Fairview and it is requested that all participants wear masks; social distancing is also encouraged. Ostraff has a doctorate in Ethnobotany and teaches at BYU. She lives in Fairview with her husband, Joe Ostraff, who was recently named as the chairman of the Department of Fine Arts at BYU. Together they have six children: Josh, Jenny, Zack, Caleb, Ethan, and Hannah. The 4 oldest children are married and Ethan and Hannah are students at BYU. Ostraff said, “The field of Ethnobotany is the study of interactions between people and plants. My husband is an artist and we have been collaborating for most of our married life in a variety of ways. Joe as my field assistant, and I as a participant in many of his international artistic collaborations.” She continues, “Through the years this has allowed me to explore many different art forms and techniques. This interaction has inspired and fascinated me. This way of thinking, looking at and interacting with the natural world has motivated me to look at the world in new ways. I look at patterns, forms, colors and textures”. She also stated that several years ago she was introduced to encaustics, a painting technique that uses hot beeswax to which pigments have been added. She became intrigued with the way that the wax informs and transforms colors, shapes and textures. Encaustic painting has linked seamlessly with her fascination with plant structures and potential meaning as she considered people and their symbiotic relationship with plants. Over the past several years her emphasis has shifted from ethnobotany-art making to art making as her primary focus and is using her background in botany as a foundation for the process. It is the simple gestures and visual poetry of plants that caught her eye and drew her into a landscape. This botanical simplicity and poetry is what she attempts to capture in her art. Ostraff has shown her artwork around the state, including an exhibition at the Rio Gallery in Salt Lake City. The Fairview Museum encourages patrons to come out and view this fascinating and authentic art. Her display will be up until October 31, 2020.
