The Pyramid

MT. PLEASANT — North Sanpete High School (NSHS) is celebrating homecoming from Sept. 4-8, with plenty of activities planned which will keep the Hawk spirit alive and well. This year’s school theme is “Go Far, Go Together.” Homecoming t-shirts are on sale all week during lunches or in the high school’s front office. Those who purchase t-shirts let everyone know the wearer is a supporter of North Sanpete High School. The Student Body Officers and class officers have planned a full slate of fun activities that get started on Tuesday, Sept. 4, which is “Crazy Hair/Hat Day,”

which is also the day when the various school clubs and organizations will paint windows at businesses in town, which will help get the whole community involved. The officers appreciate all of the businesses with storefronts that are allowing the students to come and decorate. The officers know that it’s a bit of a hassle for some of the businesses, but the business support is invaluable. At 3:30 p.m., NSHS Hawk tennis will challenge the Millard Eagles at NSHS to see who’s best at tennis. Then later, Powderpuff girls’ football will take place in the evening at 6 p.m., with the juniors facing off against the seniors.

Coal Hollow Fire 80 percent contained RAY LAFOLLETTE

The Pyramid

PRICE — The fire which started on Aug. 4, about 15 miles southeast of Spanish Fork, due to a lightning strike, is finally nearing containment at 80 percent. It has grown by only a small amount over the last few days and is currently at 29,912 acres in size. At one time there were 6-700 personnel involved in fighting the fire, but that has now dropped to a total of 209. The Type 1 team which had been involved has now been re-assigned and replaced by the Northern Rockies Type 2 IMT team, but the Type 2 team has transferred command of the Coal Hollow Fire back to a local Type 3 Team. A Burned Area Emergency Response (BEAR) team will also mobilize to provide recommendations for damage stabilization. Some of those recommendations may include: Reseeding with ground cover or native species, mulching, and construction of natural dams in small tributaries to catch sediment on hill slopes are the primary stabilization techniques used.

Recently high southwest wind gusts have produced more hotspots along the line in the southwest area of the fire line, but fire crews were able to contain them with hand crews and bucket work. Higher humidity levels have helped during evening hours allowing fuels to cool. Crews are continuing fire suppression and rehab of fire lines on the south side of the fire. Rehab is progressing along the east, north and northwest perimeter. If hot temperatures return the fire risk could increase as warmer weather moves in, but fire crews are prepared for that possibility. Recent road openings Starvation Road, the southern and western areas adjacent to the fire, including Bear Ridge Road, Fish Creek Ridge Road and Skyline road south of the Bear Ridge Road junction are open. Current closures North Fork Road is closed along the western fire edge and Skyline Road from Highway 6 south to the Bear Ridge Road juncture. Road blocks are still in place at closure areas.

Fire restrictions lifted for Ferron-Price, Sanpete Districts PRICE — Cooler, wetter weather has eased the concerns of Manti-La Sal National Forest officials, who have lifted fire restrictions on the Ferron-Price and Sanpete Districts. The officials remain cautious about dry vegetation on the forest and urge everyone to use extra care with campfires. Prompted by high fire danger on the forest, the districts first issued the restrictions July 3, prohibiting

the use of fires and charcoal grills outside of a Forest Service fire structure. As the restrictions on campfires and grills are lifted, officials remind people that fireworks, exploding targets and tracer ammunition are always prohibited on the forest. “If building a campfire, use extra caution,” said Forest Law Enforcement Officer Scott Watson. “Although we have had some good wetting

storms, things are still really dry on the forest. Remember all the rules for safe campfires.” Use existing fire rings when possible. If campers must build a fire ring, build it away from hanging branches; clear away any vegetation down to the soil and line it with rock. Use sticks and logs that are not larger than the fire pit. Stay with the campfire. Be sure someone is near

it, watching it at all times. When done, put the campfire out – COLD. Drown it. Stir it. Check it. Repeat. Fireworks and exploding devices, including tracer ammunition, are always prohibited on the National Forest System lands. “Enjoy a campfire,” said Watson. “But remember, most of the human caused wildfires on the forest are caused by unattended campfires.”

Community Vision Breakfast meets with measured success EPHRAIM — Terrel Davis of the Triangle Institute reports that, “The first meeting of the Community Vision Breakfast, on Aug. 14, at Kalama’s Hawaiian Style, Ephraim, was successful because it worked. We were able to do what we set out to do; bring together local business, civic and faith leaders, talk about current challenges and work together toward common goals.” Those in attendance included a representative of a major employer, three owners or business managers, Ephraim Police Chief Aaron Broomhead, and the representative of a non-profit. Connections with those present were made. When the representative of the major employer talked about wanting to help their people get more involved, the police

chief mentioned that the city’s First Responder class could be useful. Chief Broomhead also presented a problem. He said that immigrants, young Tongan workers in the valley, have been stealing bicycles because they need a ride. Broomhead wondered if it was a cultural thing. Richard Kalama, Kalama’s Island Style restaurant, said, “I know what you mean. The Tongans were stealing stuff, decorations from our restaurant. But, we took care of it,” he said. “People have to understand island culture. There are certain individuals that the Tongans respect and respond to, even here without question,” he continued, “I found out the name of their Kahuna, made a telephone call, and it stopped,

just like that. I can give you a name and telephone number.” Patty Glauser, Jonathan’s Jewelry, said, “So, this is all about solving problems and making things better? Well, I wonder what is going on behind the buildings on Main Street. They said they were going to pave it, so we had to park elsewhere. That was two weeks ago, and still nothing.” According to Davis, Glauser was surprised and thankful, when the day after the meeting the paving was done. Was it a coincidence? She shrugs, “I don’t know, I’m just glad it’s done.” The first Community Vision Breakfast has been deemed a success. The question is, can that energy be maintained, and can the same be done in Mt. Pleasant, Manti, and other Sanpete cities in the future?

The Triangle Institute believes that by making connections and networking between police, community, business and city leadership, the cities in Sanpete can become stronger and better prepared for the growth that is likely to occur. Community Vision Breakfasts are open to all interested residents of the towns the meetings are held in. Participants pay for their own meal and tips. Upcoming breakfasts are scheduled Sept. 11, 9 a.m., at Kalama’s Island Style, 61 South Main, Ephraim; Sept. 18, 7 a.m., at Coffee Depot, in the old Mt. Pleasant train depot; and on Sept. 25, 9 a.m. at Dirk’s Farmhouse Restaurant, 115 North Main, Manti. For more information, send email to: thetriangleinstitute@gmail.com.

County Fair 2018 MERRILL OGDEN

I haven’t heard much officially about this year’s Sanpete County Fair, which just finished up last Saturday night. Unofficially, I declare it a success! I certainly didn’t attend all of the many events, but among other things I was in attendance for the rodeo, the demolition derby, a pickle eating contest, a root beer guzzling contest, the “Mammoth Parade,” strolls through the animal barns, a wander through the exhibition building, the car show, an observation of the carnival, and I don’t remember what all else right now. I just wasn’t able to do everything I would have liked to do. It would have been fun to watch the mud volleyball competitions – from a distance. The Cowboy Poetry night would have been fun too. The horse-pulling event is interesting to me, but I missed it this year. And I’m kind of sad that I didn’t see the shooting from horseback competition. I don’t remember that being done here before and would have been entertaining to see. This is another symptom of the bad case of FOMO that I suffer from. FOMO, if you don’t already know, is a slang acronym that is pretty common with some of the younger people. It stands for “Fear Of Missing Out.” My mother-in-law had FOMO. It was most evident when the family would get together and some of us would stay up late at night visiting. She would always say something like this with a bit of a wail in her voice, “I really need to get to bed, but I’m afraid I’m going to miss something!” I have to realize that I can’t do everything at the fair. I’m going to miss out on a lot and I have to learn to be okay with that. The point I’d like to make is that we have a terrific county fair. I believe the residents of Sanpete value it. There are plenty of places that just don’t attempt to maintain what we have with our strong tradition of an old fashioned county fair.

Over the years, I’ve learned a few things at our county fair. Here are a few of them. Did you know that a pig’s tail can indicate what’s going on emotionally with the pig? A few years ago a 4-H boy, who had pigs at the fair, explained this to me. According to him, if a pig is happy and excited, the tail stands out and is curly. The tail can wiggle as well. But if the pig is depressed and not feeling in a good mood, the tail is straighter and has no “pizazz.” Maybe some pigs have self-esteem problems. I don’t know. Here another thing. Oxen are steers regardless of whatever breed of cattle they belong to. Some people aren’t clear as to what makes a steer a steer. If any reader here is wondering, a steer is a castrated bull. If any reader is wondering about any words in the preceding sentence, go to the dictionary. I have noticed at the fair that people are friendly when they’re around animals. There’s something about animals that brings out sociability in people. Everybody in the animal barn at the fair seems to be willing to chat and share opinions as we all stand around looking at cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, chickens, rabbits, pigeons, etc. If you want to have conversation with people, stand by an animal. It’s surprising that some people have never seen farm animals up close before. Years ago, my son had a friend down from Riverton for a visit to the fair. After visiting the animal barn, she announced that this was the first time she could remember of ever seeing a live pig and a live chicken – at least up close. (I guess as opposed to seeing a chicken sandwich with bacon) Who’d have thunk it? — a nineteen-year-old girl from the Salt Lake Valley getting some farm animal education at the Sanpete County Fair. Hats off to the members of the Fair Board and all those who helped make the fair a success. Thank you! It was fun, as well as being educational.

Truth shall provide freedom Dear Editor: “Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32) This timeless message taught by the very Son of God as he walked the earth 2,000 years ago applies to every aspect of our lives today. It remains crucial to the destiny of America if liberty is to survive. The great Christian general, Moroni, warned us in the Book of Mormon (Ether 8:23) that the same forces which destroyed two great civilizations on this continent, centuries ago, are had among us now. It is imperative that we, as citizens, recognize the forces of evil and what can be done to overcome them. Vance Smith will be speak-

ing on Thursday, Sept. 6, at 7 p.m., at Manti City Complex, 55 South Main. He has paid a huge price to understand and shed light upon these very deceptive evils and how they can and must be defeated. We are fortunate to have a man of Mr. Smith’s caliber share his vital knowledge here in our midst. Truth, understood and acted upon by a sufficient number of Americans, will turn the tide for the “Cause of Christians” and liberty. The enemy is entrenched, but there is still time for each of us to make a difference. I believe Sanpete, with God’s help, can be a beacon to our whole nation. Jane A. Braithwaite Manti

North Sanpete Football on the rise MATT SYME

The Pyramid

MT. PLEASANT — The North Sanpete football team earned a convincing win, 16 to 3, against Union High School Friday, Aug. 24, at North Sanpete High School. The Hawks jumped out to an early lead with a 10 yard touchdown run by Connor Jorgensen. Quarterback Chance Clawson scored on an impressive 13 yard scramble in the third quarter and an interception by Payton Clawson late in the fourth quarter sealed the victory. The Hawks controlled much of the game with a stifling defense and a powerful running game fueled by Maison Burgess who rushed for 78 yards and Chance Clawson who rushed for 60 yards. This was an important victory for a football program that battled through injuries and struggled to win games

last season. Coach Rhett Bird has worked hard to build a quality football program based on unity, hard work, and integrity. Coach Bird leads by example and has surrounded himself with a coaching staff that reflects his high morals and standards. Most importantly, the kids have bought into his program and enjoy playing football for him. There are 92 players on the football team. That is as big as it has been in the last ten years. This increase in numbers has helped the program. Coach Bird explains, “We have enough talent and experienced players that it makes coaching decisions easy, and we have enough depth that we shouldn’t have to worry as much about injury this year.” The football team have made an emphasis to work on the basics this summer. They hope to minimize penalties

and eliminate needless turnovers that plagued them last year. The Hawks have a defense that can slow down even the best teams and keep them in games. If they can take care of the ball on offense, they will be hard to beat. Coach Bird is optimistic about this season, “Our defense is very good. We play our best when we can jump out to an early lead and let our defense control the game. If we can eliminate turnovers and mistakes we will win games.” The future looks bright for the football program here at North Sanpete. With 25 freshmen and 25 sophomores currently on the team and a growing football program at the middle school level, the Hawks will continue to improve for years to come. The football team plays again on Friday, Aug. 31, with a 7 p.m. start, at Cedar City.

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development has been selected to participate in a Policy Academy designed to help grow and strengthen manufacturing in the state. The state teams recently met in Washington D.C. with policy experts to develop and further refine strategies to bolster manufacturing. “Manufacturing is vital to Utah’s economy,” said Val Hale, executive director of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development. “We look forward to working with other states as we strengthen manufacturing nationwide and build upon Utah’s success.” The three states selected to participate in the Policy Academy include Utah, Kentucky and New Jersey, along with U.S. territory, Puerto Rico. Each team consists of representatives from the governor’s office, state economic development department, manufacturing extension partnership center, manufacturing trade association and other manufacturing centers. The year-long Policy Academy will guide the states through a planning and implementation process to identify important manufacturing-related partnerships and policies to move their economic development strategies forward. Each participant will receive customized assistance through access to national experts and collaboration with colleagues in other states. They may choose to focus on addressing skill gaps, accelerating start-up growth, expanding their market, improving their supply chain or other priorities the state teams identify.

The Policy Academy is being coordinated by two national organizations — SSTI and the Center for Regional Economic Competitiveness (CREC) – with support from the Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) based at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). SSTI works to strengthen initiatives to create a better future through science, technology, innovation and entrepreneurship. CREC works to provide policy-makers from around the world with the information and technical assistance they need to formulate and execute innovative, regional, job-creating economic strategies. NIST MEP’s mission is to enhance the productivity and technological performance of U.S. manufacturing which it does through 51 MEP Centers located in all 50 states and Puerto Rico, and more than 1,300 manufacturing experts at over 400 service locations, providing any U.S. manufacturer with access to resources they need to succeed. About Utah GOED Under the direction of Governor Gary Herbert, the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) provides resources and support for business creation, growth and recruitment, and drives increased tourism and film production in Utah. Utilizing state resources and private sector contracts, GOED administers programs in economic clusters that demonstrate the highest potential for development.

1936 ~ 2018

Esther P. Randall 1927 ~ 2018 MT. PLEASANT-- Esther Peel Blackham Randall, 91, Orem, peacefully passed away Aug. 21, 2018. Esther was born Feb. 24, 1927, the ninth of 12 children, to John Henry Lemuel Peel and Esther Matson in Mt. Pleasant. She graduated from North Sanpete High School and attended Utah State University. She enjoyed gardening, reading, cooking, and sewing, where her handiwork was unmatched. She married Samuel Garnell Blackham Oct. 14, 1949, in the Manti LDS Temple. They became the parents of four children: Nancy, Scott, Larry, and Esther. After Samʼs passing in 1964, Esther married Merrill Dan Randall Jan. 30, 1976, and welcomed his three children: Dana, Scott, and Mike, into the family. Together Dan and Esther bought YLI Corporation, which developed into an internationally respected thread and silk ribbon distribution business. Esther became the creative genius in that venture, publishing two books, and using her exceptional silk ribbon embroidery skills to teach classes to numerous people around the world. Later, Dan and Esther acquired the Christian Peel family homestead, where Esther lived as a child, and developed it into 39 acres of bliss providing royal hospitality for family members and friends. Esther loved her associations throughout her life and opened her home to countless friends and relatives who were in need of a loving home and a hot meal, most notably Judy Ann Smith Peterson, a niece. She was especially fond of her grandchildren, and treasured the times she spent with each of them, sharing time on a swing, scooping ice cream cones, or explaining a gospel message. Esther loved her Heavenly Father and the Savior above all, serving faithfully in many callings extended to her in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including Relief Society president, Young Womenʼs president, seminary teacher, and gospel doctrine teacher. She felt privileged to serve in the Mount Timpanogos and Manti LDS Temples as an ordinance worker. As a student of the scriptures, Esther was often found sitting on the edge of her bed prayerfully reading from the standard works of the church. Her testimony was an inspiration to all. Esther is survived by six children, Nancy Butler, Orem; Scott (Kathryn) Blackham, Orem; Esther (Donald) Russell, Taylorsville; Dana (Willis) Whitlock, Apple Valley, CA; Scott (Kimberly) Randall, Fredericksburg, VA; Michael (Jill) Randall, Marysville, WA; 23 grandchildren; and 41 great-grandchildren. A viewing will be held Friday, Aug. 31, from 11 a.m. to 12:45 p.m., prior to funeral services at 1 p.m., at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 295 South State Street, Mt. Pleasant. Interment will be in the Moroni City Cemetery. Condolences may be expressed online at www.rasmussenmortuary.com. The family expresses appreciation to Brigitte, Lori, Kari, Jay, and the entire staff at Assisted Living of Orem for the kindness and care given during her residence.

Free upland game guidebook available SALT LAKE CITY — There are many reasons to hunt upland game in Utah. As Utah swelters under the summer sun, a cool reminder that fall isn’t that far away is waiting online at: www.wildlife. utah.gov/guidebooks. At the web page, visitors will find the 2018-19 Utah Upland Game and Turkey Guidebook. Printed copies of the guidebook are now available at the nearest Utah hunting license agent location or Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) office. The guidebook is free. Inside is found the hunting rules, season dates and bag limits for Utah’s 2018-19 upland game hunts. Readers will also find information about the 20 upland game species that live in Utah. The book also contains distribution maps that show where each species lives in the state. Something for everyone It doesn’t matter if a person is an experienced hunter, someone who hasn’t hunted for years or someone who has never hunted, upland game offer something for everyone. When asked why someone should consider hunting upland game in Utah, DWR Upland Game Coordinator Jason Robinson provided the following reasons: Time to hunt Finding time to hunt can be tough. But upland game seasons are long, giving

hunters plenty of time to get outside, relax and ‘clear your head.’ The cottontail rabbit season, for example, starts Sept. 1 and runs until Feb. 28. That’s almost six full months to get outside and chase cottontails. Close-to-home Draw a big game permit, and a hunter might have a four or five hour drive to get to the hunting spot. Not so with upland game. In many cases, a good upland game hunt is only 30 minutes from home. Less strenuous Hunting chukar partridge in steep, rocky terrain is among the most strenuous hunts to be found. But not all

upland game hunts are that way. For example, cottontail rabbit hunting usually happens on relatively flat terrain that’s easy to walk through. “Cottontail rabbit hunting,” Robinson says, “and many other upland game hunts are perfect hunts for hunters of all ages and abilities. That includes parents who have a youngster who wants to go hunting, and hunters who prefer an easier walk.” Simple equipment Unlike other types of hunting, the gear required to hunt upland game is relatively simple. Usually, a sturdy pair of boots; clothes that can handle the weather and terrain, a backpack with water, small food items and room for the game that is taken; and a gun and ammunition, are all a hunter needs to get afield and take upland game. “Hunters don’t need a lot of expensive equipment to hunt upland game,” Robinson says. “And the gear a hunter will carry, including the gun, are usually fairly light and easy to carry.” Tasty game, easy transport In addition to being extremely healthy, upland game birds and animals are among the tastiest wild game to put on the table. If hunting in warm weather, dressing an animal or bird in the field, and then placing the meat in a plastic

bag that has a small ice block in it, is the best way to care for the meat until arriving at home. In addition to being tasty and healthy, upland game is easy to get out of the field. Big game hunters are fond of saying “once a hunter takes an animal, the fun is over and the work begins.” That’s not the case with upland game. After taking a rabbit, hare or upland game bird, simply slide the animal or bird into a back pack or hunting vest, and keep hunting. Simple rules, regulations Upland game hunting rules are simple and easy to understand. “Get a copy of the free guidebook,” Robinson says, “and read through it. Readers will see that upland game hunting rules aren’t complex. They’re simple and easy to understand.” More information Those who would like to receive the latest information about hunting upland game in Utah can subscribe to the DWR’s free upland game updates online at: w w w.w i l d l i fe . u ta h . gov/ about-us/subscribe-to-updates.html.

SPRING CITY-- Lida Verene Jensen Rostron, 82, Spring City, passed away surrounded by loved ones Aug. 26, 2018. Verene was born April 18, 1936, to Max Gilbert Jensen and Lida B. Christiansen Jensen. During high school she met her eternal sweetheart, Zeldon Roy "Tut" Rostron, who she married on Oct. 28, 1954, in the Manti LDS Temple. When Verene was 21, she was involved in an accident that changed not only her life but Roy's life as well. The accident left her paralyzed from the waist down, but that didn't stop her from living her life. Roy and Verene shared a sacred bond that few will ever know.
