Coal Hollow Fire continues to advance PRICE — The lightning caused, Coal Hollow Fire, located 15 miles southeast of Spanish Fork, mostly on the south side of U.S. Highway 6, has grown significantly during the past week. As of press deadline it was estimated to be 22,178 acres in size and considered to be two percent contained.

Resources The Rocky Mountain Type 1 Incident Management Team currently assigned to the fire is using the following resources to combat the fire: Five Type 1 hand crews, nine Type 2 hand crews, 37 engines, four dozers, seven water tenders, six helicopters, two fixed wing air tankers, two CL415 Scoopers, two air attack platforms, two masticators and overhead/ support personnel, for a total of 629 personnel.

Road closures Road closures are in place, including U.S. Highway 6, North Skyline Drive, Starvation Road and several forest roads. Evacuation orders are

in effect for areas adjacent to the fire which include properties North and West of Scofield Reservoir, and properties south and west of Soldier Summit.

U.S. Highway 6 is currently closed from the junction with Highway 89 at Thistle (mile marker 187) heading east to the junction of Hwy 6 and US 191 (mile marker 229.) The road closure will be re-evaluated periodically.

All evacuations and closures remain in place but are fluid and subject to change.

The transportation corridor along Hwy 6 is also used by the railroad, which was halted for a time, but has resumed operations.

Motorists will see increased traffic on Highways 89, 31 and 10 as long as Highway 6 remains closed. These roadways are winding and steep and may not be suitable for some vehicles.

Fire divisions named Because of the complexity and size Please see FIRE, Page A8

2018-19 MISS SANPETE CROWNED

Miss Sanpete County royalty for 2018-19 was recently selected. Members of the new royalty are Rylee McKay, first attendant; Bellamy Sorensen, Miss Sanpete; Meg Childs, second attendant; and Whitney Dyreng, third attendant. The royalty will reign over the upcoming Sanpete County Fair and participate in activities throughout the year.

Wildlife causes havoc on roads SANPETE COUNTY—Wildlife played havoc with three drivers on Aug. 8. Luckily seat belts were worn and no injuries were reported.

The first accident reported by the Utah Highway Patrol took place at 3:50 a.m., about 12 miles north of Fairview. Todd Anderson, 46, Fair-

view was traveling southbound in a 2001 Kia Optima, on Hwy 89 when smoke from the Hilltop Fire caused low visibility when he saw a herd of elk crossing the highway. Anderson took evasive actions which caused his vehicle to roll one-and-a-half times off the right side of the road over a barbed wire fence coming to

rest on its top.

The second accident happened at about 5:59 a.m., when a teenage driver, age 17, was traveling northbound on the Spring City Road, Hwy 117, when she swerved to miss a deer. The vehicle, a 2002 Ford Taurus, belonging to Robert Sevy, Spring City, went off the right side

of the road, over-corrected, then crossed the left side of the road and overturned going through a fence where it came to rest.

The third accident was on Hwy 89 about 6:05 a.m., near Manti, when Charree Reynolds, age 47, Gunnison, hit a deer in a 2010 Chrysler Town & Country.

MANTI, (AP) — A self-styled prophet who helped lead a Utah doomsday cult that believed in polygamy and promoted child marriage remained defiant Wednesday as he was sent to prison for at least 26 years and up to life.

John Coltharp, 34, told a judge he was following “heavenly laws” and was an Old Testament figure returned to Earth to promote child marriage, the Deseret News reported, (see: https:// www.deseretnews.com/article/900027476).

He maintained that it doesn’t matter how long he goes to prison because society won’t last much longer.

Judge Marvin Bagley told Coltharp his beliefs are wrong and don’t come from the Bible. He said he hopes Coltharp is never released from prison.

Coltharp pleaded guilty to sodomy and child bigamy charges in June. He could spend life in prison as he waits for a parole board to determine a possible release date.

Coltharp and his friend Samuel W. Shaffer, 34, formed a group called the Knights of the Crystal Blade based on arcane Mormon ideas long abandoned by the mainstream church, authorities said.

The two have described the religious group a “fundamentalist group for millennials” that formed online.

Both men held the title of prophet at different points and each secretly married two young girls ages 4 through 8, according to prosecutors.

The girls were related to the men.

Deputies discovered the four girls in barrels and an abandoned trailer on a makeshift compound of shipping containers in the Utah desert Please see SENTENCING, Page A8

P Y R A M I D

Reader contemplates ‘Back to the Future’ Dear Editor: We love watching “Back to the Future.” There is something about that movie trilogy that is truly timeless. After we watched the third in that series last night I had to take a walk. There is so much in that to process. What would I do?

Would I be willing to disturb the space-time continuum, to change history, if it would really make a difference, change things for the better?

How would I do that? To get going I have to let go of the past. To worry and twist in regret over the past, the dumb things I’ve said or done does not help me build a better future, rather it establishes those as the norm – not productive.

On the other hand, I would do well to let go of my daydreams, let go of those things

that I am not willing to tie down, make a plan, and step out in faith to accomplish. That isn’t productive either.

So, here I am in the present, doing my regular thing. How can I change things? Where is my time machine to a better future? I really want to get energized, not just for myself, but for those around me.

I came up with a triple-concept that, if I implement it, just might make a difference in how I operate. It might provide the structure, the “time machine” I need to change things for the better.

First, I am going to seek to better understand, focus on being more aware of what is going on in the present, the situation, people’s feelings, and build that understanding over time. I could spend the

rest of my life doing a better job of that.

Second, I will allow myself to care, to feel for another, to have compassion. Not to wear my heart on my sleeve on all things, but to find an area where I am willing to extend myself and remain committed in that, even when caring hurts.

Third, when I am aware of a situation where I can make a difference and I care enough to extend myself, I am going to act. I am going to plan and work, push and pull until it happens, until it makes a difference. And then I am going to keep at it because it does make a difference.

That is what I have resolved to do. That is how I am going to turn the course of history, my history. That is the energy, the

one-point twenty-one gigawatts that it will take to make things happen. I can get “Back to the Future,” not to the sameold, same-old future I can see out my window but to a better, more profitable, more joyful future for all.

That is what my time machine looks like. When you have your time machine built, let me know how it goes. I’d like to compare notes. Meanwhile, you can help us build a better future for our valley – Join us at the Community Prayer Breakfast in Mt. Pleasant at Tap-Z-Log, Aug. 21 at 10 a.m.; in Manti at Dirk’s Farmhouse, Aug. 28 at 9 a.m.

What are people talking about?

People like to talk. I guess I should say that most people like to talk. There are some who wouldn’t say… umm… “horseradish” if they had a mouthful.

Anyway, Sanpeters like to visit one with another.

Whether you call it a “bull session” or a “gabfest” or a “discussion,” it amounts to Sanpete conversation. It’s communication and social interaction. It’s part of being human.

I’m going to take a crack at estimating the main topics that are currently being discussed in Sanpete. If I could produce a pie-chart graphic to go along with this piece I would.

As it is, I’ll just give you my estimated percentage values for each topic. I’ll attempt to go from biggest to smallest, in terms of my guess of numbers of conversations going on around here. (And remember, I’m not good at math) 1) (57.8%) Weather and Fires Our hotttttttt and dryyyyyyy summer in Sanpete is the number one conversation that I hear. It’s always the default conversation between strangers waiting in line to get their cars registered or longtime friends who see each other every day.

Mother Nature has really been dealing us a rough hand lately around here. Temperatures have been such that most of us feel like we’re going to dry up and blow away.

One of my common answers when people ask me how I’m doing is to say: “I’m just going from one mud hole to the next.” Nowadays, I add, “Well, if there was any water it would be mud, but right now I just go from one dustbowl to the next.”

The fires all around the Western part of the country are awful. And Sanpete hasn’t been spared. We were all concerned for those who were evacuated and affected by the Hill Top fire.

2) (36.22%) National Politics I suspect that there were a few people who thought that when the presidential election was over a year or so ago that things would calm down.

Calmness just isn’t our general way of life anymore, I’m afraid.

A person has to find their own version of peace and quiet in the hubbub of national politics. If you choose to follow political news and have discussions about it, you need to keep Excedrin and Tums handy, because you’re going to have headaches and stomach trouble.

I had a great-aunt who, many years ago in a tiny, agricultural, Southeastern Idaho town, used to go into the living room and announce to the men, “It’s time to talk about black and white cows!” This happened when the Republican and Democrat family members started to get too rowdy in their partisan conversations. She required the conversation to turn to farming.

Sometimes when I abruptly want to change a conversation I’ll say, “Let’s talk about reincarnation.” That sometimes delivers the intended result of bringing down the heat of a political argument.

3) (21.7%) Where the am-

bulance/sheriff ’s vehicle/fire truck might have gone on its latest run.

In any city or town of any size, people scarcely notice the sound of emergency vehicle sirens. It’s like hearing a dog bark in the distance or a car horn honking.

In Sanpete, when a siren is heard, we all scurry to the door or window to see what it is and which direction the vehicle is headed. If I’m at work, I always try to see if the cop or ambulance or fire truck turns up my street. I was even more interested back when I had kids at home.

It’s very common in Sanpete to be greeted by someone and then have the first question be, “Did you hear where the ambulance went last night?”

4) (23.3%) The County Booking Report For some reason, Sanpeters are interested to know who’s in trouble with the law. And they like to talk about it. I guess it’s not too complicated to figure out the reason. It’s probably just that many of us have small town, petty, morbid curiosity.

It somehow makes us feel better when we know that someone else is in “hot water” and we’re not...yet.

5) (22%) Sports This really might be more like 82%, but by now you probably realize that these percentages aren’t really too accurate or meaningful. Pee wee leagues, school sports at all levels, college and pros, it doesn’t matter; Sanpeters love to talk about sports.

There’s often as much “heat” in these types of conversations as there is in the political ones. What’s fair and not fair in how things are organized and run in the sporting world will be talked about until the Second Coming. In fact, I’m convinced that when Jesus descends through the clouds, someone will be heard to say, “See, I told you that he’d be wearing U of U Ute colors.”

(19%) Food Everyone talks about food.

Everybody eats. Everybody wonders, “What’s for dinner?” Everyone has an opinion on what’s good to eat and what’s healthy. I like what Julia Childs is reported to have said, “The only time to eat diet food is while you’re waiting for the steak to cook.”

It’s great that there is such a variety of food for us to choose from and talk about. I like most of it. Italian food is a favorite.

George Miller said, “The trouble with eating Italian food is that five or six days later, you’re hungry again.”

Talking about food usually makes me hungry. Right now is no exception. So I’m going to hurry and end this piece.

6) (17.74%) Miscellaneous This category is the one, which includes conversations that start in one of these ways: How many deer were in your backyard last night? unt Matilda has the flu. Whose car was parked at so and so’s all night Saturday? Did you hear Bob’s dog had puppies? Can you lend me $20? Have you noticed that so and so has been putting on weight? How’s the hip replacement working out for you? And a zillion other topics. Keep talking Sanpete.

It’s one of the things we do best.

Gularte~Frederick Wedding

VISALIA, CA-- Aron and Nancy Gularte announce the marriage of their daughter, Julia Rose Gularte, to Klynton Sherman Frederick, son of Leslie Christofferson, Mt. Pleasant, Aug. 11, 2018, in Visalia, CA. A reception will be held from 6-8 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 18, at the residence of Matt and Molly Anderson, 382 South State Street, Mt. Pleasant.

The bride has been offered a position as a Registered Nurse at Sanpete Valley Hospital.

The bridegroom works at Christensen Arms, Gunnison. He is also the grandson of Elva Christofferson, Mt. Pleasant, and the late Sherman Noy Christofferson.

The couple is registered at Terrelʼs Market, Amazon and Bed, Bath and Beyond.

If by some oversight you didnʼt receive an invitation, please consider this as one.

Jake Hadley, son of Fred and Cheryl Hadley, Mt. Pleasant, recently returned from serving in the West Virginia Charleston LDS Mission. He will speak at 11 a.m., Sunday, Aug.19, 2018, in the Mt. Pleasant North LDS Stake Center, 461 North 300 West, Mt. Pleasant.

Grandparents are LaGrand and Eleanor Hadley, Plain City; and Arlin and Joan Judd, Coalville.

Gunnison Police warn about phone scam nn GUNNISON — Are you aware of the 72 scam? It is not new, but seems to be making a comeback. The public is encouraged to learn about the scam so that they don’t fall for what can be an expensive mistake.

The concept is simple. A person receives a voicemail from someone claiming to be an emergency response worker and telling the person that a loved one has been in a terrible accident. nn The voice mail includes an “exclusive/emergency” call back number in which the person is

instructed to dial 72 followed by the number in the message.

As soon as a person does that, the person has just surrendered their phone to the scammer! nn Here’s why it works: 72 is a call forwarding feature that allows a phone user to enter in a number after entering 72. Then all future calls to the phone are forwarded to the number that the phone user entered.

Scammers primarily use this to hi-jack a phone for use in oversea scams. Anyone who then calls the persons phone for a long distance or collect call is

now billed to the phone owner even though the owner has no idea it is happening.

What is even more alarming is the amount of information scammers can get from family members and loved ones who will also call the owner’s number and talk to the scammer. nn DO NOT use the 72 feature on a phone unless the owner intends to forward calls to another phone.

Anyone who has been scammed should contact their phone provider and the local police.

Hill Top Fire contained INDIANOLA — The Hilltop Top was declared 100 percent contained on Aug. 11. Located about six air miles north of Fairview, the human caused fire was started Aug. 6 and burned a total of 1,861 acres, two structures, and threatened several others.

Several local volunteer fire departments were initially involved until the Great Basin Team 4 was placed in command of the Hill Top Fire. The Great Basin Team’s remaining resources assigned to the fire have worked to secure control lines

and monitor the area in case any hot spots become visible, particularly in cottonwood stands.

Some interior pockets of brush will continue to burn but are not a threat to containment.

Rehabilitation work will be ongoing to repair the impacts of suppression actions.

Berms created during construction of dozer line will be spread out, and hazardous standing dead trees (snags) will be removed by equipment.

Any further information will be found at Utah Fire Info online at: https://utahfireinfobox.com/.

As Great Basin Team 4 demobilizes from the incident, they appreciate the communities and cooperators with whom they have worked during the course of their short stay in the Indianola Valley.

In addition, the local volunteer fire departments and all the volunteers who helped are appreciated and because of their quick and diligent actions the fire was suppressed.

Larsen photography art to be on exhibit in Fairview FAIRVIEW — The photography art of McKay Larsen will be honored with an opening reception Friday, Aug. 24, from 6:30-8 p.m., in the Rotating Artist Gallery in the Fairview Museum of History and Art, 85 North 100 East. The art will then be on exhibit through Nov. 2.

Mckay Larsen has said that art is an extension of his experience in nature and his surroundings. “The flux of surrounding elements, con-

trasted by the seemingly steady and unyielding landscape forms, enthralls him.”

He further notes that, “all the natural drama, power and endless variations, bring him to a sublime awareness of life and its purposes.”

Larsen says that his goal in art “is to express the complex, but simple serene landscape and the sublime emotion experienced while searching and finding answers to life’s most important questions demon-

stratively expressed in nature and expressed in the words of our Creator.”

Larsen received his bachelor degree as well as a master’s degree in fine arts from Brigham Young University. He is employed by the LDS Church in the Provo area.

Larsen is married to Janae Larsen and the couple resides in Fairview. They have eight children, three of whom are married, and have two grandchildren.

The photography art of McKay Larsen will be honored Friday, Aug. 24, from 6:30-8 p.m., at the Fairview Museum of History and Art, 85 North 100 East.

Don’t wait to get bull elk hunting permit SALT LAKE CITY — It’s easy to get a permit to hunt during the general season for this year’s bull elk hunt this fall in Utah, just log onto www. wildlife.utah.gov, or visit a Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) office or the nearest Utah hunting license agent, and buy one.

A total of 30,000 rifle and muzzleloader permits went on sale in July. Lindy Varney, wildlife licensing coordinator for the DWR, says permits are selling fast this year, and she encourages hunters to get a permit as soon as they can.

She also says a new option is waiting for hunters this year.

“For the first time ever,” she says, “hunters can buy a multi-season general bull elk permit. The permit allows users to hunt all three general elk hunting seasons—archery, rifle and muzzleloader. Hunters are still limited to taking only one bull elk, but they will have three seasons to take one.”

In addition to the general rifle and muzzleloader elk permits, general archery elk permits also went on sale in July.

General archery elk permits aren’t limited in number, so hunters will have no problem getting one.

To learn more about the various general season bull elk permits, read the 2018 Utah Big Game Field Regulations Guidebook. It is available online at: www.wildlife.utah.gov/ guidebooks.

Two unit types

Before buying a rifle or muzzleloader permit, a person needs to decide which units they will want to hunt on: any-bull units, where a hunter can take a bull of any size; or spike-only units, where only spike bulls may be taken.

If a person buys an any-bull permit, the owner can hunt on all of the any-bull units in Utah. If a person buys a spikeonly permit, the owner can hunt on all of the spike-only units in the state.

While many hunters dream of taking a large, branch-antlered bull, Varney says a hunt on a spike-only unit provides several advantages.

“One of the neat things about hunting on a spike-only unit is the chance to hear and see big, mature bulls,” she says. “The spike-only hunts are held on the same areas where the limited-entry hunts are held. Hunters can’t take a branch-antlered bull with a spike-only permit, but they can still experience the thrill of being near these big elk.”

The spike-only units are mostly public land, so hunters will have lots of places to hunt. And, just like taking a branch-antlered bull, taking a spike bull will provide a person with lots of tasty, healthy meat.

If a person would rather hunt branch-antlered bulls on an any-bull unit, Covy Jones, big game coordinator for the DWR, says two units in the Uinta Mountains, the North Slope unit and the South Slope unit,

Permits to hunt bull elk in Utah this fall went on sale in July and are selling fast. (Photo courtesy of the Utah DWR) are the most popular units in the state. “Any-bull units can be challenging places to hunt,” Jones says, “but they hold some big bulls.”

A map that shows Utah’s spike-only and any-bull units is available on pages 58 and 59 of the 2018 Utah Big Game Field Regulations Guidebook available at www.wildlife.utah. gov/guidebooks.

Hunt planner While preparing for the hunt, Jones encourages hunters to visit www.wildlife.utah. gov/huntplanner, the agency’s Utah Hunt Planner website.

While navigating the site, users will find notes from the biologists who manage the units the user is thinking about hunting, general information about the units, and safety and

USU Extension 4-H director inducted into 4-H Hall of Fame LOGAN — Director of Utah State University (USU) Extension 4-H Kevin Kesler was recently inducted into the Utah 4-H Hall of Fame as the 2018 honoree.

To be considered for the Utah 4-H Hall of Fame, the person must have participated in 4-H as a youth and must have used 4-H to contribute to his or her community in some way.

Kesler became involved in 4-H over 50 years ago. He was a member of the Kanosh 4-H horse club in Millard County.

He also grew up around livestock and crops, learning about the production of cattle, sheep and swine along with growing alfalfa, small grains, corn and range feeds.

“The 4-H program has provided me with skills both as a youth and then as an adult to get me to where I am today.”

Kesler said, “I have spent the last 40 years trying to give back by helping other youth develop the life skills that were provided to me through the 4-H

program.”

“There are other careers that pay better than a career in 4-H,” he says, “but having a 4-H member you worked with contact you 20 years later and give you credit for helping them succeed in life is priceless.”

Kesler’s career has taken him to four universities where he specialized in agricultural production, 4-H youth development, agricultural engineering, water quality, community development and administration.

He has taught agricultural engineering, Extension and other university credit courses as well as noncredit Extension workshops and classes. He also worked internationally as an agricultural engineer to develop Extension organizations and farming systems in Egypt.

For the past 21 years, Kesler has been the director of 4-H and youth programs for USU Extension. He has received numerous awards at the local, state and national levels and

weather information.

Information about the number of bulls on the units 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 elk habitat on the units.

Jones says DWR biologists want hunters to have a great experience hunting bull elk in

Utah this fall. “The experience that hunters have is important to us,” Jones says. “We hope the information we provide on the site helps people plan one of their best elk hunts ever.”

Fire-adapted communities recommended by NFPA Quincy, MA — National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) Firewise USA® program teaches people how to adapt to living with wildfire and encourages neighbors to work together and take action to prevent losses.

To be FireWise, homeowners must carry out certain fire protection measures before a fire even starts. By following simple fire safety steps, neighborhoods and communities will have a chance to survive while firefighters work to bring the wildfire under control.

To protect a home from wildfire, the primary goal is to reduce or eliminate fuels and ignition sources within the Home Ignition Zone. The Home Ignition Zone (HIZ) includes the structure (Structural Ignitability) and the space immediately surrounding the structure (Defensible Space).

Defensible Space is the area around a home or other structure that has been modified to reduce fire hazard. In this area, natural and manmade fuels are treated, cleared or reduced to slow the spread of wildfire. Creating defensible space also works in the reverse, and reduces the chance of a structure fire spreading to neighboring homes or the surrounding forest. Defensible space gives homes a fighting chance against an approaching wildfire.

Creating an effective defen-

sible space involves a series of management zones in which different treatment techniques are used. The actual design and development of one’s defensible space depends on several factors: size and shape of building(s), construction materials, slope of the ground, surrounding topography, and the sizes and types of vegetation on the property.

For more information on Defensible Space, consult NFPA’s Home Ignition Zone page found online at: https://www. nfpa.org/Public-Education/ By-topic/Wildfire/Preparing-homes-for-wildfire.

Structural ignitability, rather than wildland fuels, is the principal cause of structural losses during wildland/urban interface fires. The ideal time to address home ignition risk is when the structure is in the design phase.

However, homeowners can still take steps to reduce ignitability to an existing home.

For instance, it is important to choose a fire-resistant roofing material that is rated class C or higher when building a house in, or near, forests or grasslands and avoid flammable materials such as wood or shake shingles.

Homeowners should consider the following items for the safety of their property: Interior Consider using residential sprinkler systems, smoke detectors, portable fire extin-

Construction, design Whenever possible, use brick, rock or stucco because those materials resist fire much better than wood. Use class A or B roofing materials, such as asphalt shingles, slate, clay tile or metal. Enclose foundations with concrete block, cement walls or other fire resistive building materials.

Trees, shrubs Remove highly flammable native vegetation and replace

it with low growing, fire resistive plants. Vary heights and spacing of landscape plants.

Avoid planting trees under or near electrical lines, because they may eventually grow into or touch the lines in high winds, thus causing a fire.

Remove dead, weak or diseased trees and trees that are obviously leaning. Thus leaving a healthy mixture of older and younger trees.

Water supply Establish an emergency water supply of at least 2,500 gal-

lons, minimal. Make sure there is easy access to the emergency supply, easily seen, and easy to get to.

Access Homes should be properly identified with street names and addresses printed and easily visible. Roads should be large enough to accommodate emergency vehicles and with room for cars to pass.

Forest Service action The U.S. Forest Service embraces the vision of the Cohesive Wildland Fire Management

Strategy by helping to create fire-adapted communities through the use of the Firewise USA® program, the reduction or elimination of fuels and ignition sources within the Home Ignition Zone.

The strategy promotes community and homeowner involvement in planning and implementing, emphasizes proactive wildfire risk mitigation actions, and pursues municipal, county, and state building and zoning codes and ordinances that mitigate fire risk to protect life and property from wildfire.

Making buildings more resistant to ignition by focusing on building materials and construction standards would reduce loss. Such standards engage property owners and enhance the effectiveness of community-wide actions.

Changes in building codes are more likely to be effective when targeted at areas of new construction in high-hazards areas, and consequently counties with increasing wildland-urban interface (WUI) area or increasing WUI home density growth.

Some communities would benefit by focusing on protecting individual homes, with the help of property owners due to the high number of structures lost to fires.

Dental options changing, one disappearing fast WINNIPEG MB, CANADA — Fewer U.S. and Canadian dental students are choosing private practice and are instead opting to join large dental chains, which are gobbling up dental practices like Walmart gobbled up mom and pop shops 50 years ago.

This means in the future patients will have fewer options when selecting a dentist.

“For specialists such as a periodontists or orthodontists, it is a no-brainer to become employees of corporations so they

can have a steady income without the headaches of owning a business,” says Alex Zlatin, CEO of Maxim Software Systems, a dental practice management company, author of the Responsible Dental Ownership (www.alexzlatin.com).

“But in general dentistry, the answer is not so clear cut. And with new problems and challenges to setting up a practice, patients will probably see less independent dentists in the future.”

Many independent dentists

believe that the corporations are losing the human side of dentistry. They feel some corporations view patients as cogs in their corporate machine rather than individuals who need to have a relationship with their dentist, Zlatin says.

Recently, corporations have bought up hundreds of practices in Canada in attempts to monopolize the industry. The Dental Corporation of Canada, which is now one of the biggest dental suppliers around the country, now has 160 individual

dental clinics, with 30 in British Columbia alone.

In the United States, several studies have shown large multi-establishment dental enterprises are continuing to outstrip independent dentists.

“The trend toward larger, multi-establishment dental practices is expected to continue, driven by changes in the practice patterns of new dentists, a drive for efficiency and increased competition for patients,” said a study by the Health Policy Institute of the American Dental Association.

Zlatin says constantly changing regulatory requirements, increased focus on patient privacy and other issues are making independent practices less attractive. But he says there will always be dentists who do not

like taking orders from others and want to be their own boss.

Zlatin says there are a few questions dental students should ask themselves before they decide whether to open their own office or join a corporate-dental office.

1). Am I willing to do the extra homework in areas outside dentistry like understanding how to hire a great staff and how to find the best office site?

2). Have I always wanted to open my own business or does that thought scare me?

3). Do I have trouble working for others?

4). Am I the type of person who always likes to be the boss?

“There will always be a place for the dentist who wants his own practice and is willing to tackle the tough issues that

come along with it,” Zlatin says.

“But they will need to be more focused and prepared for the challenge than their predecessors in order to succeed.”

Andre L. Dingemanse 1973~2018 FAIRVIEW-- Andre LaMont Dingemanse, 45, Fairview, passed away Aug. 8, 2018, unexpectedly at his home.

This man was more than just a son, brother, dad, or friend, he was a man who cared about people.

He had a zest for life that bordered on the side of dare-devil, but held a big heart that loved to help others in need.

He had an infectious laugh that he used in combination with his burly whisker growth to hide his sensitive side.

Andre was born Feb.1, 1973, to Adriaan and Grace Dingemanse in Mt. Pleasant, UT; and resided with his family in Oak Creek just north of Fairview.

He was the fourth of five children, coming in line between his two sisters. Growing up, he loved to tease his sisters, especially the older one, almost constantly.

These three younger children were like the three Musketeers during a large portion of their years growing up.

Andre was a true, blue Sanpeter. He went to elementary school in Fairview, middle school in Moroni, and North Sanpete High School in Mt. Pleasant. He graduated in 1991, and joined the United States Navy in 1992, where he served four years earning numerous medals.

Andre also served his local community for six years with the Fairview Fire Department, and as such also went on many calls with the ambulance and served as a driver.

He was a great support to his fellow EMS crew members, especially when they dealt with difficult cases. He also served several years with the Sanpete County Search and Rescue.

Andre was a multi-talented man. He was a naval aircraft mechanic, roofer, oil rig worker, hazmat truck driver, and machine mechanic.

He loved hunting, fishing, cutting fire wood, and the demoliton derby.

He traveled throughout the state, and a few neighboring states, with his buddies competing in the derbies for years. He has many trophies displaying the years of memories of this passion.

He met Randy Barcenas in 2003, and took her in with her three children. He welcomed Jon Randy Dingemanse into this world on Jan. 29, 2004, and Cole Dre Dingemanse on May 29, 2005. These boys became his pride and joy.

His passing has taken both his family and this community by surprise, and he will be greatly missed!

He is survived by his sons, Jon and Cole; his mother, Grace (Lee) Suder, Manti; brothers, Jacques (Lucinda) Dingemanse, Manti; Maurice (Tracie) Dingemanse, Manhattan, KS; sisters, Monique (Wade) Nilsson, Manti; Nicole Malstrom, Manti; and numerous nieces and nephews that all hold his memory dear.

He was preceded in death by his father, Adriaan, and by his niece, Katherine Elisabeth Wade.

Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 18, 2018, in the Fairview First LDS Ward.

A viewing will be held from 11 to 12:30 p.m., prior to services at the church.

Interment will be in the Fairview City Cemetery with military honors.
