Arson suspected in fourteen fires

BY KEN HANSEN

SANPETE COUNTY—The U.S. Forrest Service is asking for help in its investigation in to a series of 14 fires that were started along Skyline Drive during the early morning hours of Sunday, September 6. The Forrest Service suspects arson to be the cause of the fires and is asking that anyone who has information contact them at 775-355-5337.

“Some people reported smelling smoke around 3 a.m.,” said Samantha Stoffregen, public affairs officer for the Manti-LaSal National Forrest. “Most of the reports came in around 6 a.m. (The reports) were all from people going on hunts.”

“The fires were very clearly started on purpose,” said Stoffregen. The fires were spread between South Tent Mountain and Potter’s Canyon.

“All of the fire lines are being maintained and there has been no new growth. Firefighters are just monitoring hotspots.”

Firefighters from Manti, Mt. Pleasant, and Spring City responded to the fires, as well as additional assets from Sanpete County, the Forrest Service, and the State of Utah.

Four of the fires had minimal potential, meaning they

Trees and grass smoulder on Skyline Drive after an arsonist intentionally set a series of 14 fires in the early-morning hours of September 6, 2020. did not spread past the initial starting point. Five of the fires had slightly more potential, but were contained after burning approximately one tenth of an acre. Two of the fires had moderate potential due to spotting and rollout, but were contained after

burning approximately one quarter to half an acre.

Fernie Tinoco, a resident of Mt. Pleasant, was camping up Fairview Canyon and was on his way to his elk hunting location when he and his brother noticed a fire ahead of them. “We were heading

south on Skyline Drive about 4:30 or 4:45,” he said. “We saw this fire and it looked pretty big.”

“We were thinking that there was someone out there still partying and they had a big bonfire going,” about a mile south of Potter’s Canyon.

“As we were going over there, there was a white fourdoor Toyota Tacoma with a light bar on the bumper,” he said. “He was coming north toward Fairview.”

Tinoco continued, “I had to move clear over to the side because they were just hauling … I didn’t know why he would be going that fast.”

“We got closer to the fire and it was just right off the side of the road. There was nobody there. That was the only other vehicle we saw up there.”

Later, Tinoco said, “Me and my brother got wondering if that white truck had anything to do with it. I didn’t know if they had maybe done it on purpose or maybe thrown a cigarette out the window or something.”

By the time he and his brother got there, Tinoco said that the fire was too big for them to put out. “We didn’t have enough water. All we had was the water from out

packs.”

Realizing there wasn’t much they could do, Tinoco called 911 to report the fire. “I used to be on the Mt. Pleasant Fire Department. I felt bad about it and tried to do what I could … up ahead there was another fire.”

“When I called (911) they said there was another fire out towards Indianola and I told them no, this is a different one. I don’t see anyone up here on it.”

“I had service up there and my wife messaged me and said there were sirens going off down there (in Mt. Pleasant). I told her that they were probably heading up here because I had called in this fire.”

“We go camping and hunting up here,” Tinoco said. “It kind of makes you mad.”

The Forrest Service is emphasizing the fact that the Manti-LaSal National Forrest is under fire restrictions, and has been for several months.

“There are still a lot of people starting recreational fires,” said Stoffregen. “They say that they didn’t know but it has been published in the media, on social media—everywhere.”

“We understand that it’s getting cold out but the forest is still extremely dry,” she said.

Plein Air Art Competition brings artists to Spring City

BY GLORIA ALBRECHT

SPRING CITY— Spring City’s annual Plein Air Painting Competition was capped by the Artist Studio Tour Saturday, September 5. Though some small changes were made due to COVID-19, art lovers and collectors—many from out of town, clearly appreciated the chance to view so many museum-quality works in such a beautiful setting.

This year the tour was free of charge because of the pandemic, and masks were required in the studios with social distancing expected indoors. Some artists preferred outdoor displays of their works, but either way the quality and quantity of art available to view was extremely impressive.

The Plein Air competition featured art works created beginning August 29 and culminated with judging on September 4. The works were on display in the Spring City Arts

Gallery on Saturday, where the winning paintings were featured along with those that received honorable mentions and other works from the competition.

Artists were encouraged, but not required, to create their paintings in Sanpete County. For art collectors who did not make the journey to Spring City, the Spring City Arts website offered paintings by local artists for viewing and purchase. Paintings submitted to the competition will be offered for sale online until September 19.

Ellie Wilson took first place in the competition with a 12” by 16” oil titled “Strate’s Barn.” Second place went to Brad Aldridge for his work “The Apiary.” Kimball Geisler’s painting took third place.

It was a 9” by 12” painting called “Early Morning In The Valley.”

Art lovers clearly enjoyed watching artists work and talking with them about their

Riverton woman arrested for felony theft, aggravated assault SANPETE COUNTY—Police have arrested 22-year-old Farrah Kaye Workman of Riverton, Utah on multiple felony charges related to a pair of vehicle thefts at Skyline Mountain Resort August 30, 2020.

According to arrest documents a Sanpete County Sheriff’s officer was dispatched to a report of a stolen vehicle at lot D11 in the subdivision. The victim claimed that 15 minutes after moving his vehicle someone stole it.

An ATV that didn’t belong to the victim was parked next to where the 2009 Mazda CX9 had been when it disappeared. The officer ran the vehicle identification number through Sanpete County dispatch and found that it was registered to Workman. At that point, the report states she became the primary suspect.

While searching the area for the stolen vehicle the officer was notified that the suspect had pulled in to the parking area of the resort’s golf course clubhouse in the missing car.

Workman then apparently fled Please see THEFT, Page A10

EPHRAIM—Started by Miss Sanpete 2020, Lydia Madsen, Sanpete’s Hands Service Club is a free club for middle to high school-aged youth in Sanpete County. Madsen said that her platform “focuses on unifying Sanpete County through service.” She wants to get the whole county involved by offering even small acts of kindness.

The first meeting for Sanpete’s

Helping Hands will take place Saturday September 19th at 10 am in Ephraim at the Family Park Pavilion. “Our first meeting will involve sharing ideas of needs these youths have seen in their towns, and what projects we can do to help with that.”

Creating a successful blended family

BY JONATHAN SWINTON, USU EXTENSION

The term blended family highlights the unique challenge of finding acceptable ways to blend the lives, experiences, expectations and dreams of parents who remarry and the children involved. The ratio of people in the United States who live in blended families is one in three.

Blending a family can feel like mixing oil and water, and many families are taken by surprise by the challenges it presents. However, it is possible to be successful with commitment, compromise and patience.

Consider these tips for dealing with common strugPHOTO COURTESY USU EXTENSION gles.

experience Divorce and blending new families can be difficult for children to navigate. The greatest struggle they face is dealing with the loss of the family they once had or hoped to have and finding ways of maintaining loyalties in the new family setup.

A child may love both parents, but feel uncomfortable vocalizing that with either parent. It is worse if the parents and stepparents don’t get along, and the kids become pawns in their disagreements.

As a parent and stepparent, the best thing you can do for your children is to focus on getting along with all the adults involved. You don’t have to love each other, but you can be civil, and it’s essential to keep the children out of your disagreements.

tablished parenting methods.

Parenting styles include a mix of firmness/permissiveness and kindness/hostility.

If one parent is more permissive and kind, while the other is firm and more harsh, problems will result. Parents who use the same styles will likely have fewer challenges.

Try your best to align your methods and reach compromises.

Also, children generally respond better when they are disciplined by their own Challenges parents parent, who should be the one to deal with difficult and stepparents discipline issues.

Make sure

to be 100 percent consistent with each other on everyday matters.

Couple relationship challenges When couples commit and create a new blended family, they are often a bit older than a typical newlywed couple.

Because of this, they come into the new relationship with more experience, opinions, traditions, expectations and established ways of living their lives. It can be difficult to align these realities.

One thing that can help is for couples to sit down together and discuss the parenting approaches used on them as a child and how they now

feel about those approaches.

Then couples should discuss the methods they have used as adults and why they chose to use them.

As both partners better understand the context and reasons behind these approaches, it is easier to understand what the other is trying to do in their parenting. It also provides a forum for couples to discuss the middle ground they can find in future approaches.

Compromise is critical, as is being selfless. If one person always gets his or her way, that means the other person doesn’t, which can cause hurt and more challenges.

Blending families can be complicated. However, when these families are created, they can be just what everyone involved wants and needs.

If you work to understand your partner’s perspectives, compromise to ensure your partner’s opinions and approaches are considered, and selflessly love the family, being in a blended family can be a wonderful experience for all involved.

This column could ruin your life I was part of a little family crew tearing out a fence on family property in Richfield several days ago. It was a stubborn, difficult job that took several different work sessions over the course of two or three weeks.

The wrought iron posts were as deep below the ground as the fence was above the ground. Big rocks had been strategically placed underground to secure the fence to make it last for a long time. I suspect it had been there for nearly 100 years. I could go on about the fence, but that’s not the point of the story.

Part of the time while on the job there I was working alongside my niece.

She didn’t have to be there, but she chose to be there as she knew that the help was needed. And that’s the point of the story.

As part of our conversation, she told of hearing a guy from Redmond (one of the Bosshardts) give a “fireside talk” several years ago.

He started the talk with the introduction of: “What I’m going to tell you tonight is going to ruin your life.”

He related the experience of having been driving somewhere and passing a garbage can that was tipped over with some of the trash spilling out. He thought to himself, “Someone ought to do something about that.”

A while later, he happened to drive past the garbage can again. The trashy situation was somewhat worse than it had been the first time he passed by. His thought this time was, “Someone really ought to do something about that.”

As you might guess, as stories like this often go, the fellow drove past the messy trash can a third time.

And perhaps, as you might guess, he slowed down and thought, “Maybe I’m the someone who ought to do something about this.” He stopped. He picked up the trash and secured the garbage can. He became that person who ought to have done the act of service that made that little piece of the world “right again.”

Evidently, the event had an effect on “our hero.” He began to see things more often from a different perspective. When he saw situations where he could help, he was reminded and prompted to say to himself, “Maybe I’m the someone who ought to do something about this.”

My niece told me that a while back she was on a little road trip with another girl she had been friends with for a long time. They drove past a sizable rock which was in the road. The friend pulled over and stopped.

She facetiously said to my niece, “Sorry, I heard a talk one time that ruined my life.” They got out and moved the rock out of the

roadway.

I know quite a few people whose lives have been “ruined.” They can’t seem to be “normal” and simply mind their own business.

They are constantly thinking of others and doing nice things for them. They even help strangers.

They stop when they see U-Haul trucks and moving vans at houses where people are either loading or unloading. They help people carry packages in or out of the post office. They hold doors open for people.

They sometimes pay for someone else’s burgers at a fast food place. And if they’re my niece, they come help with a family project, even when there’s lots of other things that could be done that would be a lot more fun.

There are many Sanpeters whose lives have been ruined in this manner. Somewhere along the way, they’ve been taught to care about others.

Maybe it was their parents “fault.” Maybe it was someone at church who preached the Golden Rule, “…do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” (Matthew 7:12) Somewhere, somehow, these “ruined” people became cursed with the voice in their head and heart that tells them, “Maybe you’re the person who ought to do something about this.” Their lives were changed.

Of course, the “life ruined” aspect of this concept is quite simple to understand. Someone who has developed the attribute of being a helper to others, and society in general, can no longer go merrily along the road of life ignoring the tipped over garbage cans.

The easy life of using the excuse of “minding one’s own business” disappears.

Life is “ruined.” But, I would give my opinion that life becomes happier and more rewarding when “ruined.”

That opinion comes from whatever degree of a “ruined life,” I have been able to adopt in my life.

If, by chance, the writing of this column has ruined anyone’s life to any degree whatsoever, I’m glad. — — Merrill P. S.

Manti Templars lose to Juan Diego

BY MITCH PETERSON

MANTI—The Templars were plagued by failed points after touchdowns during a heart-breaking loss to Juan Diego last Friday, September 4 in a 3A region crossover game, with the Soaring Eagle eking out a 28-27 win.

Region 14’s Manti came in to the game with a record of 1-2, on the back of a 28-7 loss to Grantsville last week. Juan Diego was winless on the season.

The first quarter was a battle of defense as the first score came from Juan Diego on a four-yard rushing touchdown with 28 seconds left in the first quarter, capping a 92 yard, 12-play scoring drive.

The point after was good giving the Soaring Eagles a 7-0 lead.

Juan Diego’s celebration was short-lived. On the following play Manti’s Tyler Taukei’aho received the kickoff deep in Templar territory.

Behind great blocking he was able to get to mid-field, where he broke free and sprinted to return the kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown. On the PAT, Juan Diego was able to blow through a hole in the Templar line and block the kick, leaving Manti one point behind at the end of the quarter.

The defensive battle continued in the second quarter.

Late in the quarter Manti was forced to punt and Juan Diego was able to get deep in to Templar territory. With Juan Diego inside the 10-yard line Manti

Juan Diego started the second half on offense at their own 35-yard line. In just five plays the Eagles drove to the end zone then hit the extra point for a 14-6 lead.

Manti’s Tyson Brenchley took the kickoff at the goal

line, running it out to the 35.

A few plays later Parry hit senior tight end Tanner Justesen in the back left corner of the end zone, and Justesen hauled it in for the touchdown. The Templar two-point conversion failed, still leaving Juan Diego with a 14-12 lead with about 5:50 left in the third quarter.

The momentum stayed with the Eagles as they put together

a 76-yard scoring drive to go ahead 21-12, then pushed the lead to 28-12 on their next possession with an 80-yard rushing td.

Manti went on offense with about two minutes left in the third quarter after Larson Pogroszewski returned a kickoff out to the Templar 40 yard line. Parry hit Strickland for a couple of nice gains and found Justesen for another 20-yard

pickup, giving Manti first and 10 at the Eagle 23.

Another completed pass to Taukei’aho and it was first and goal at the five. Taukei’aho ran to the one yard line as the quarter wound down, then he plowed into the end zone on the first play of the fourth quarter. The Templars again went for two but it resulted in a sack. Juan Diego still held the lead, but the Templars had cut

it to 10.

Neither team scored again until Manti kicker Seth Cornelson stepped up and hit a 33-yard field goal to make it Juan Diego 28, Manti 21 with 2:20 left in the game. The Templar defense held Juan Diego to a four-and-out on the next series, forcing a punt with 1:27 left.

Manti had the ball at their own 26 yard line with about 1:16 left, when Parry connected with Cox, who make the catch at the 40 yard line and advanced it to the 49.

A couple of plays later Cox made another catch over the middle and ran it down to the 13.

A penalty moved it back five yards to the 18, then Strickland ran a great post route from the left side over the middle, and Parry hit him in stride. Strickland crossed the goal line for a touchdown with about 10 seconds left.

Manti went for a two-point conversion and didn’t make it but there was an interference call. Manti was then hit with a procedure penalty, moving the ball back to the seven yard line. Manti went for the for the field goal to tie, but it was called just wide, and Juan Diego held on for the one-point win.

Next week, the Templars are at Richfield for another 3A inter-region game, then they’ll host American Leadership Academy on Friday, September 18th, in their Region 14 opener.

NS tennis teams take on Maeser Prep, Juab

AR

MT. PLEASANT—The North Sanpete volleyball team split matches last week, defeating Juab in three sets and nearly pulling off a win against Union—last year’s state champions. The Hawks now sit at a record of 1-1 in region play. They rank fifth in the state in the MaxPreps rankings, with a 5-5 overall record this season.

The Lady Hawks hosted the Juab Wasps Tuesday, September 1, and quickly swept through their competition. North Sanpete started off strong as they quickly tackled the Wasps in a 25 -17 set. However, the Hawks began to struggle in serve-receive, a usual strong-point for North Sanpete, and as a result the second set was much closer.

Juab played scrappy defense as they made several diving saves, battling to take the set from the Hawks.

However, North Sanpete was able to edge out the Wasps ending with a 25-23 set score. The Hawks were able to carry that momentum into the final set as they defeated the Wasps 25-21. Seniors Graciee Christiansen and Melissa Ferre raked in 10 kills each, and junior Mekai Laupapa brought in 12.

Thursday the Lady Hawks continued their region play in Duchesne against the Union High School Cougars in a five-set thriller.

Last year the Hawks struggled against Union who, with their tough serving, aced the Hawks multiple times resulting in a swift victory

Bailey also racked up 23 digs, as she continued to frustrate Union hitters.

The set was a nail-bitter as each team battled to score two points in a row, leaving the ending set score at 31-29 for the Hawks. North Sanpete carried that momentum into the next set and the Hawks outside-hitters finally began to find the court as Ferre and Laupapa brought in several kills, ending the set with 7 apiece.The Hawks were again able to edge out the competition with a set score of 28-26.

With both teams running out of steam, the fifth and final set began.

At first, both teams were battling for every point, however, the Union Cougars stepped up to defend their state-champion reputation and were able to handle the Hawks in the final set, defeating North Sanpete with a 15-6 set score.

Although, North Sanpete lost the match, the coaches and players could not have been more proud.

When talking to Head Coach Rickie Stewart after the match she commented on how pleased she was with her team saying, “I’m very impressed with my team’s ability to continue to fight even when things are hard. They responded to what Union had to offer and they figured out a way to win. I’m excited to see where this team can go this year.”

The Hawks will face Delta at at home on Thursday at 6:30pm. Delta lost to Union in preseason play in three straight sets.

The first set was a battle as both the teams went point-for-point.

Union didn’t hold back as they set their star outside-hitters ball after ball; however, junior libero Jada Bailey repeated dug their hitters, frustrating them and causing them to make errors.

The Hawks responded with an offensive show of their own from senior right-side Graciee Christiansen who kept the Hawks in the game with not only her offensive attacks, but her impeccable defense as well.

North Sanpete was able to keep the set tight but dropped the set 24-26.

The second set was more difficult for the Hawks as they struggled offensively. Union stood confidently at the end-line and bombed serve after serve at North Sanpete, who was unable to successfully respond.

Multiple hitting errors by both of North Sanpete’s outside hitters left the door wide open for Union as they raged through the set leaving the Hawks with a 15-25 set score.

For a moment, it felt as if there would be a repeat of last year’s struggles for the Hawks, but after a set break the Hawks came out more fired up. Both teams made a strong showing, but the Hawks were able to PHOTO BY JORI TURPIN figure out their offensive issues and Head coach Rickie Stewart talks strategy with her team during the Lady picked apart the Cougars defense.

Hawks remain undefeated

BY MARCY CURTIS

MT. PLEASANT—North Sanpete Hawk Football raises to 4-0 after taking down the Richfield Wildcats last Friday night 52-28. The Hawks have started each game this season strong with a touch down in under the first minute of the game and this one was no exception.

Magnus Clawson caught the 20 yard pass on the 2nd down to run it 40 yards for the first touchdown of the night.

“Richfield is a good team, Clawson said, “they have lots of talent, but the work our coaches and players have put in gave us the edge.”

Junior quarterback Landon Bowles didn’t let and put up

three touchdowns passes in the first five minutes of the first quarter. At the end of the night, Bowles had six touchdown passes to four different receivers.

After a couple mistakes by the Hawks, including a false start, a backwards pass, and a blocked pass, Bowles passed to Cole Mickel who scored a 58-yard touchdown with 2 wildcats attached to him as he entered the end zone.

The halftime show was packed; it included the Hawks marching band, drill team and cheerleaders, along with Savannah Farley winning the football Hawk card beef drawing. Following the show, the game clock was continually

running due to the mercy rule.

The Wildcats seemed to come out of the locker room strong, marching the ball towards the end zone when on the third play Mickel intercepted the ball to shut them down. The Hawks marched the ball down the field, giving kicker Rance Christensen the opportunity to nail a 32 yard field goal.

“I’m feeling great about the season because our coaches trust us to make plays and we trust our coaches to put us in the right places to make those plays,” said Clawson.

The Hawks will be on the road this next game as they travel to take on Grand.

LINDON — The North Sanpete girl’s tennis team is well into their season and have found both successes and struggles. Last Thursday they traveled to Maeser Preparatory Academy and lost 5-0. First singles player Kaylee Madsen lost 6-0, 6-3. Second singles Morgan Drew lost 6-1, 6-3.

Third singles Kaylee Anderson lost 6-2, 6-1. First doubles Abri and Natalya Benson lost 6-0, 6-3.

Even though the Lady Hawks struggled against Maeser Prep, they found success against the Juab Wasps on Tuesday and came away with a 3-2 win.

First singles Kaylee Madsen lost 6-3, 6-2. Second singles Morgan Drew won 6-3, 6-2. Third singles Kaylee Anderson won 6-1, 7-5.

First doubles Sadie Church and Jamie Walker won 6-2, 6-3. Second doubles Abri and Natalya Benson lost 6-3, 4-6, 6-3.

He said he visits Spring City several times a year to paint and to be inspired. Working on a small study entitled “Sunlight and Shadows (revisited)”, McGentry said he has been painting since he was nine or ten years old when he learned from his grandfather.

Native Spring City artists had many paintings and crafted works on display and for sale as well. Joe Bennion, who has lived in Spring City since two weeks after he married his wife Lee 44 years ago, displayed his well-known pottery inside and outside his tiny shop.

and the Mazda was located near 300 South Mountainville Highway.

The investigating officer discovered that Workman had stolen a second vehicle from another victim. The second victim told police that she had left the Mazda at the clubhouse, ran onto his property, and stole his white Ford Ranger.

Workman reportedly drove the truck across Mountainville Highway, and in the process “destroyed an $800 air compressor.” The second victim pursued Workman, who the abandoned the Ranger and fled back to the golf course clubhouse to get back in the Mazda she had stolen before.

A third victim saw Workman attempting to leave in the car again and tried to stop her by blocking her path. The affidavit states that, “Farrah didn’t stop, but continued to drive the white Mazda at the

back in 1971. Returning to school after serving a mission, Bennion took the pottery class again. At his (then) new wife’s insistence, Bennion gave up his plans to become a teacher to follow his heart and devoted himself to his craft of pottery.

Together Bennion and his wife, Lee who is a painter of regional fame, raised three children in Spring City. Lee Bennion is also the purveyor of “Mom’s Stuff”, a line of hand crafted, all natural salves and skincare products.

“Tomorrow I’m going to have a nap” Bennion joked as clients gathered around him to admire his work and ask about his popular bread bakers. “Sold out first thing this morning” was all he could say about the bread bakers.

But then there’s next week, when Bennion plans to fire up his kiln and start once again making the art he loves.

Crafter Jane DeGroff, whose

work features hand dyed textiles, has lived in Spring City for the past ten years. Her display of scarves was an irresistible rainbow of color. But not just any colors – these beauties are dyed with all-natural dyes.

Cochenial, a rosy sunset pink dye, comes from a South American insect, while DeGroff’s homemade rabbit brush dye, which produces buttery yellow tones, is a local botanical which she harvests herself. Most notable are DeGroff’s Shibori designs in traditional indigo blue. “I have to dip them ten or eleven times” in the indigo dye she remarked, to get the desired intensity of color.

DeGroff had a large selection of masks, surely a sign of the times, but these were works of art lovingly dyed and crafted to prove that even artists do their part.

third victim.” The person had to jump out of the way to avoid being struck by Workman as she fled.

The report states that after talking to a witness who lived in the second victim’s home, and reviewing surveillance footage, it was found that Workman had been at the house before stealing the Ranger.

Footage showed that after stealing the white Mazda, Workman stopped in front of the second victim’s home and made entry through an unlocked front door. According to the witness, they confronted Workman in the home.

Workman asked the witness for permission to use the restroom, after which she left. The officer surmised that due to the fact that Workman later returned to steal the Ford Ranger from the property, there was probable cause to believe that Farrah intended to commit a theft in the home, but that she didn’t think any-

one was there.

After being read her Maranda rights, Workman admitted to police that she had taken the Mazda. In an unusual twist, after being arrested and during an interview at the Sanpete County Jail, Workman admitted to police that the previous day she had gone in to the pasture owned by the second victim and rode their horse.

During the course of the investigation, police found that Workman had a criminal background that included offenses similar to the ones she was being charged with and that her driver’s license had been suspended and that she had an outstanding warrant out of Emery County.

Workman was booked on two counts of felony theft of a vehicle, one count of felony burglary of a residence, one count of felony aggravated assault, one count of criminal mischief, one count of driving on a suspended license, and one count of criminal trespass.
