NSHS ends exciting homecoming week activities JORI TURPIN
The Pyramid
MT. PLEASANT — The first week of September has come and gone, but the memories students made at North Sanpete High School will last a lifetime. Last week parents, teachers, administration, and students banded together to put on a successful homecoming week with activities and victories for everyone. Tuesday, Sept. 4, kicked off the festivities with girls tennis securing a region win against Millard High School. Later that evening Powderpuff football was in full swing with an evening filled with junior vs senior competition. There’s some debate as to which class took the winning title, but no matter who won, good times were had by all. Clubs and organizations also took to the town to paint and decorate the windows of local Mt. Pleasant businesses. On Wednesday, boy’s golf traveled

Following the volleyball match, Powerstuff boys volleyball began. The juniors and senior both fought hard, but in the end the seniors walked away with the victory. On Thursday, girls’ soccer faced
Grand at home and the festivities continued as the students enjoyed screening Thor: Ragnorok at the Basin Drive-in. On Friday, the day of homecoming had arrived. Students were excited about all of the activities and celebrations for the day. To begin, the seniors participated in the Senior Sunrise. They enjoyed a great bond-
ing opportunity as they watched the sun come up together, enjoyed a hearty breakfast, and ensured their football field was ready to welcome all their guests. Later that day, students took part in the homecoming assembly where the cheer team taught new cheers to the student body and pumped up the school spirit. The students were then introduced to this year’s homecoming royalty. This year’s royalty was made up of freshman, Cambree Pehrson; sophomore, Sarah Benson; junior, Ariel Valko; and the homecoming queen was senior Kylee Blackham. After the school day, students took to State Street in Mt. Pleasant to put on the annual homecoming parade. The girl’s volleyball team secured a region win against San Juan and football ended the evening with a 20-9 victory against Judge Memorial. The homecoming dance took place Saturday evening ending the week’s activities.

Richard Hall to be honored by local DUP MANTI — Manti Chapter of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers (DUP) will Honor Richard Hall and his family at the 31st Annual “Settlement of Sanpete” event on Saturday, Sept. 22. The activities will include a wreath-laying ceremony at 9:30 a.m., at Hall’s grave-site in the Manti City Cemetery, followed by a tribute program at 10:30 a.m., at the Manti Tabernacle, 90 South Main. After the program a luncheon will be available for purchase at the tabernacle. Reservations for the luncheon are requested. The program will feature historical sketches of Hall and his family and include musical performances. Among those speaking, Douglas Barton will talk about the construction of the Manti Tabernacle which Mr. Hall, his ancestor helped to build. Richard Hall was a master mason and is credited with building dozens of stone homes and other buildings in Manti. He also performed stonework on the St. George and Manti LDS Temples. Hall was born in 1817 In Yorkshire England and immigrated along with his wife Anne Boardley through New Orleans to St. Louis. While in St. Louis, Anne died shortly after giving birth to their fifth child. Hall and his children eventually arrived in Provo where he remarried and subsequently relocated to Manti. In his later years, Richard married Catherine Jack of Scotland, with whom he had seven more children. The Hall family resided in a stone home on their 20-acre farm, which included the area now occupied by the Sanpete County Fairgrounds. Hall has a large posterity throughout the western United States and southern Canada. Please see HALL, Page A5

Getting out Tips for keeping moral compass on course of Dodge
WAUNA WA — Are there useful moral lessons in the latest political tweets? The news cycle is often rife with controversy involving public figures. And sometimes a fall from grace — from Hollywood to politics, the corporate boardroom, etc. — brings closer examination of the root causes. Dr. Christopher Gilbert, an international ethics expert, thinks such events and social media skirmishes reflect a lack of ethics that plague many levels of American society — but that they also provide an opportunity to strengthen a person’s own moral pathway. “The important issue isn’t in arguing over which schoolyard bully is the most unethical,” says Gilbert, author of There’s No Right Way To Do the Wrong Thing and senior consultant/speaker at NobleEdge Consulting (www.nobleedgeconsulting. com). “The roots of the problem are not only in misplaced, society influenced priorities but in a widespread belief that ‘good’ people make the good decisions and ‘bad’ people make the unethical ones,” he says. “We need to start a national conversation about what it means to do right in business and in life, despite the constant personal, social, economic, and other cultural and societal pressures to ignore what is right in favor of success.” “A growing awareness and practice of ethics is in essence also a profound transformation of our character, and it often comes as we navigate the most dramatic or challenging events of our lives.” How do people overcome the pressures and temptations to flout ethical practices? Gilbert provides three tips to making good ethical decisions while holding ourselves and others accountable. Trust “lighthouse moments” Gilbert believes these can be subtle or indelible experiences that make people

Dr. Christopher Gilbert provides tips for making good ethical decisions while holding ourselves and others accountable. decide a course of action and shape their future choices. “Ethics serve as our lighthouses,” Gilbert says, “providing us with a reference point – enlightened guidance along the pathway of our best decisions. They warn of danger as well.” “Some believe that ethical choices are relative to whom and what you know and when you know it. But this is akin to the idea that ‘ignorance of the law is an excuse.’ Ethics are far more about what we do, sometimes despite what we know.” Stay away from edge While a few risk the drop over, most drivers are cautious when navigating a mountain curve or a bridge without guardrails. “Our best choices for ourselves and others happen when we navigate dos and don’ts within a predictable pathway bounded by right and wrong,” Gilbert says. “Ethics form our guardrails. Imagine a world of intermittent guardrails that move? Ethics aren’t iffy or gray or relative; they exist under all driving conditions for all drivers. Right choice-making happens best on a pathway guided and protected by ethics that are constant.” Universal moral standards So many of the highly-publicized scandals, shootings, and tragedies that could

have been avoided, Gilbert says, can be traced to people disregarding our common moral standards. “An impersonal world full of disunity, divisions, and exclusive, tribal-like ‘us versus them’ mentalities breeds an atmosphere that becomes self-perpetuating,” Gilbert says. “If our ethical choices are defined not by a set of universal moral codes owned by everyone, but by standards individuals or groups apply to themselves, there are no wrong choices, because all choices become right.” “Universal moral principles,” Gilbert says, “provide solid reference points for establishing values, behaviors and ethics that create trust. And, despite popular belief, they are attainable — we already have quite a few.” About Gilbert Dr. Christopher Gilbert, Ph.D., the author of There’s No Right Way To Do the Wrong Thing, is an international ethics consultant and senior consultant/ speaker at NobleEdge Consulting. Having spent much of his career focused on the study of human moral development, Dr. Gilbert has over 30 years of experience in organizational development as a strategic facilitator and leadership and operations consultant. He has served an international clientele, including Fortune 1000 companies and government agencies in the U.S., Canada, Asia and Africa. Dr. Gilbert completed work for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation on a sustainable food-security program across four nations of sub-Saharan Africa, and he has been a professor of business ethics who taught at universities on four continents. He earned his doctorate in organization, management and leadership ethics at Capella University. For more information, visit www.nobleedgeconsulting.com.

As some of you old timer “Inside Sanpete” readers know, I like to prove now and again that it’s possible to get to anywhere in the world from right here in Sanpete. I know – it’s a simple concept, but there are some people who just don’t believe it’s possible. Or, maybe they just don’t feel the need or desire to get out of town. And that’s all right too. It’s just that I have people say to me occasionally, “I wish I could go somewhere sometime and do something different.” I respond, “If you want to, you can. All you have to do is save a little money, plan a little bit and “go out on the edge of the diving board and jump.” We decided that the three day weekend of Labor Day would be a good time to “Get out of Dodge,” as they say. I believe that phrase was made popular by the TV series “Gunsmoke” in a reference to the good guys telling the bad guys to leave town. The town was Dodge City, Kansas. Ironically, over Labor Day weekend, we traveled to Tucson and Tombstone, Arizona. The bit of irony for me is that Tombstone is where Wyatt Earp went when he “got out of Dodge” where he was an assistant city marshal. It was 1879 and Tombstone was a mining boomtown. Silver was the attraction that created a place with over 100 saloons and many gambling halls and brothels. We went to Tombstone for fun and by so doing put a little silver into the economy of the historic “tourist trappy” town. It was purely coincidental that it is currently the 25th anniversary of the Kurt Russell/Val Kilmer/Sam Elliott movie “Tombstone.” The bigscreen TVs in Big Nose Kate’s Saloon were silently playing the movie continuously. Big Nose Kate was a “shady lady” in Tombstone and was Doc Holliday’s girlfriend. The saying you’ll see around town about her is: “Big Nose Kate, who loved Doc Holliday, and everyone else.” The movie “Tombstone” is a bit of a classic favorite at our house with my wife basically knowing most of the dialogue. While having lunch at Big Nose Kate’s on Labor Day, Diane could lip synch the dialogue right along with the movie. That included one of the most poignant moments of the film when a very ill Doc Holliday is coughing violently, yet getting ready for the fight. Here’s the exchange: Guy: Doc, you oughta be in bed. What the hell are you doing this for anyway? Doc: Wyatt Earp is my friend. Guy: Hell, I’ve got lots of friends. Doc: I don’t. The excuse for this little trip we took, not that we needed an excuse, was to go

to the BYU vs. University of Arizona football game. It was an unexpected bonus to have the Cougars actually win the game. (I concluded long ago that I can’t base my happiness on the outcome of ball games – especially BYU football games.) Before the game on Saturday, we drove out to the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum. When I read about it on a travel website, it said to count on three hours at the place. We were there for four and a half hours. It’s part zoo, part aquarium, part aviary, part botanical gardens, part hiking trails, part cave experience, and on and on. Speaking of Doc Holliday and friends, we made a new friend at the museum. Samantha was traveling on her own from Houston, Texas. Having already scheduled for time off from work, she decided to forge ahead with her trip alone, in the face of her original traveling companions having to cancel. After a couple of episodes of looking at the same exhibits together and finding out that she was on her own, we invited her to tag along with us. She was pleased to have company and we had a great time together. You can’t have too many friends. (Unless you’re talking about Facebook) Seeing the desert in the Tucson area made me hope that we get a ton of snow in Sanpete this winter. Cacti are pretty. (Notice how I remembered the plural of cactus?) Some were blooming gorgeously. But we don’t need any more prickly pears or any additional plants with thorns and stickers in Sanpete. When we drove south from Tucson to Tombstone, we stopped at the old Spanish mission, San Xavier. It’s called the “White Dove of the Desert.” While there, we talked to one of the Native Americans of the Tohono O’odham Nation. The mission church is on their reservation. They used to be known as Papago Indians, but the name was changed in the 1980s. Their native language is actively used. And although most of the more than 24,000 people are Catholic, many native ceremonies from the “old way” are continued. These include a coming of age ceremony for girls and the ceremonial giving of a small amount of earth (dirt) to infants to eat. (I know people who won’t eat an M & M that’s fallen onto the carpet.) As usual, it was good to get out of town and see some different scenery. Also, as usual, it was good to get back to Sanpete and see familiar faces and sleep in my own bed. If you haven’t taken a little jaunt for a while, consider it. It’ll “recharge your batteries” for returning to life here at home and you’ll make good memories.

Hospital births Wildlife Board approves more cougar hunting permits SALT LAKE CITY — Plenty of cougars mean additional chances to hunt the big cats in Utah. During a recent meeting in Salt Lake City, members of the Utah Wildlife Board, a panel of seven citizens appointed by the governor, approved a slight increase in the number of cougars hunters can take during the state’s upcoming season. During the 2017 – 2018 season, hunters were allowed to take 581 cougars. During the upcoming season, hunters can take 642. The number of cougars that are taken will actually be lower than 642, though. For example, 456 cougars Permit numbers have been increased slightly for Utah’s 2018 — 2019 cougar hunt.

Skyline Drive is currently under a closure order from U.S. 6 to Bear Ridge, but will be opened when Forest Service officials consider it safe for public travel. The fire is now 95 percent contained. The burned acreage of the fire is 31,661 acres. The area was adjusted upward after a recent reconnaissance flight provided better information. The fire has not grown. Management of the fire has been passed to a Type 4 team under the command of Brandon Johnson. There are two engines, a helitack crew, a Type

An earlier infra-red flight identified numerous hot spots throughout the interior of the fire. When a fire is contained, it is not fully controlled, and it is not out. Containment actually refers to the perimeter that firefighters create around the fire to keep it from spreading. Often fires continue to smolder and creep long after they are contained, sometimes until the first snow storm over the fire area.

Ag Field Day held to present importance of agriculture MANTI — The 21st Annual Ag Field Day event for Sanpete County third grade students took place Sept. 5 at the Sanpete County Fairgrounds. Sponsored by the Sanpete County Farm Bureau, the program is still going strong. The goal is to give all third grade students of the county an opportunity to learn about agriculture and how it affects them in their daily lives, especially in ways that they don’t always think about. Students moved through a series of classes, activities and presentations. Darrel and Corrine Olsen from the Sanpete County Fair’s Fun on the Farm come out and run a hands on exhibit highlighting how food is grown and raised. The students pull wool, rope dummy steers, learn about raising meat and eggs, and even get to ‘plant’ a seed and harvest plastic fruit and vegetables. At the end of the exhibit, the students turn in their crops for play money that allows them to buy something from the store as they leave. This helps the children learn how agriculture is a vital component of the economy and everyday life. Part of the event was a safety presentation put on by AJ Ferguson, who is the Farm Bureau VP of Safety. He taught the children how to be safe in and out of tractors, which are great tools to have in the agricultural community. Ferguson also demonstrated the dangers of playing on tractors by throwing a straw dummy onto the PTO of a tractor. It makes quite an impression, as hay is thrown for a dozen yards on each side of the tractor. Growers and experts from around the county put on the classes during the day.
Christian Olsen discussed beef and cattle and the many by-products that come from them during the Ag Field Day held Sept. 5 for over 400 third grade students at the Sanpete County Fairgrounds. (Photo courtesy of Amie Olsen) The students get to learn the difference between dairy cattle and beef cattle, how sheep are sheared and how the wool is used, the importance of agriculture, how everything comes from seeds and how water conservation affects farmer’s crops. It is hoped that the children have an eye-opening opportunity to connect and identify with the agricultural community. The amazing teachers that are willing to come out and support the program each year are greatly appreciated. Utah State offers an Ag in the Classroom program that can help school teachers to continue to tie into their lessons what the students learned during Ag Field Day. The Sanpete County Farm Bureau enjoys being a part of the education of the country’s future growers, policy makers and leaders. During the recent Ag Field Day, Annette Hansen demonstrated how the wool from sheep is turned into a usable form for making clothes like those hanging next to her. (Photo courtesy of Amie Olsen)
USU extension focuses on strengthening Utah’s rural economies LOGAN — As many rural Utah residents are struggling with unemployment or underemployment, a new pilot program has been implemented by Utah State University Extension to help residents in the southern counties develop skills needed to compete for remote employment. With the goal of strengthening the economies of rural Utah, the new Rural Online Initiative (ROI) was funded by the legislature in 2018 to allow people to develop skills so they can seek competitive remote jobs without leaving their counties. The initiative is the brainchild of Darin Bushman, county commissioner in Piute County, who was elected to office in one of the smallest, most poverty-stricken counties in Utah. As he evaluated economic strengths and weaknesses, he discovered that while there were very talented people in the county, many
A new program, Rural Online Initiative (ROI), was funded by the 2018 Utah Legislature to help people living in rural counties develop skills to seek competitive remote jobs without leaving home. were underemployed, unemployed, had dropped out of the workforce or were geographically bound because a spouse was employed in the county, but there were no employment options for the other potential wage earner. “I sat in my office posting a freelance job offer, and it hit me – why can’t our citizens, with
skills to offer, be the ones doing this job rather than someone halfway around the world?” he said. “Our local people can be the ones taking advantage of these online opportunities and marketing their skills outside the bounds of their current geography.” Bushman said the idea was presented to local chamber
members and other elected officials with positive response. However, finding the right organization to be the “home” for the program was a challenge. With input from another commissioner, it seemed that USU Extension would be the perfect fit because of their county outreach programs. “After meeting with USU Extension Vice President Ken White and discussing our concerns and ideas, the ROI was born,” he said. “The premise was simple – educate, coach, mentor and teach rural businesses and members of the workforce so they can take advantage of online opportunities. We also wanted to target high school students nearing graduation who were not pursuing higher education to avail them of the opportunities that exist online, which could help reduce the net migration from rural Utah counties.” The Rural Online Initiative, House Bill 327, was sponsored
by Representative Michael Noel, with Senator David Hinkins as the floor sponsor. Bushman and Commissioner Victor Iverson from Washington County successfully lobbied for it. It was signed into law by Governor Gary Herbert during the 2018 legislative session. https://le.utah. gov/ ~ 2 0 1 8/ b i l l s /s ta t i c / HB0327.html White said USU Extension is in a prime position to leverage its presence in rural Utah to help residents become better equipped to work as remote employees. “Our extensive statewide infrastructure will help connect rural Utahns with the new and innovative employment opportunities that are available worldwide,” he said. “We see this as a way for citizens to keep the high quality of life found in these rural communities, but now they can have increased earning potential.” According to Paul Hill, USU
Extension associate professor and principal investigator of the Rural Online Initiative, a new certificate course has been specifically developed to help people succeed as an online freelancer or remote employee. “Completing the Master Remote Work Professional course and earning a certificate will prepare people to prosper in the new economy,” he said. “After meeting the skill requirements and earning their certificates, ROI clients will be assisted with job placement in partnership with Utah’s Department of Workforce Services.” Linda Gillmor, director of Rural Development for the Governor’s Office of Economic Development said that one of the state’s strategies to create jobs as part of the Governor’s ‘25K Rural Jobs in 25 Counties by 2020’ initiative is to leverage existing broadband.

U.S. President Herbert Hoover had a great sense of humor. During his term he once received a letter from a young autograph collector requesting two of Mr. Hoover’s signatures. “You see,” wrote the youngster, “I want to trade them for a Babe Ruth autograph and it takes two of yours to get one of his.” Friends say Hoover obligingly forwarded the two autographs and chuckled over the letter for years. One wonders if his sense of humor would still be so keen if he knew that it now takes seven or eight Herbert Hoover autographs to get one of the Babe’s. Hoover’s ink signatures are worth around $100, while Ruth’s signature can sell for $800 or more. Early Mormon and Utah historical figures such as Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, and Butch Cassidy have all left signatures on letters and documents that can sell for thousands of dollars today. Signed letters, documents and photographs are normally worth more than simple signatures on cards or autograph album pages. But this doesn’t mean a simple signature has little value. Dark ink signatures in excellent condition of Walt Disney, Charles Lindbergh, Betsy Ross, or Dr.
Autographs for famous and infamous people can sometimes fetch a handsome price such as local outlaw Butch Cassidy. His signature could be worth thousands of dollars. Martin Luther King, Jr. can sell for $500 to $1,000. And those of Indian fighter George Armstrong Custer, ballplayer “Shoeless” Joe Jackson, Sigmund Freud, and Apache legend Geronimo are worth even more! Today some of the autographs most in demand are those of Hollywood’s great
film stars of the 1930s and 1940s. Signed photos of Greta Garbo, Jean Harlow, Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, or Marilyn Monroe are among the most valuable and will cost a collector $1,000 and higher. In fact, Marilyn’s signed 8 x 10” photos are now worth a whopping $5,000. More affordable are the signed photos of Salt Lake City-born actress Loretta Young which can be purchased for around $100. But if you want a signature of William Shakespeare, you’ll have to dig a bit deeper in the pockets. The English playwright has the most valuable existing autograph in the world. Only six of his signatures are known to exist. If one of the six autographs were to be sold today, experts predict it could sell for as much as $20 million dollars! Ironically, if you were to see an actual William Shakespeare signature, you might not be able to read it. Same goes for Napoleon Bonaparte, artist Salvador Dali, ballet legend Rudolf Nureyev, and King Henry III. All had a tendency to scribble when signing their names. On the other hand, if awards were to be given for autographs that were simple, clear, and easy-to-read, then American Wild West figures Jim Bridger and Calamity Jane would win hands down. Each signed with an “X.”
Dealing with problem soil? Expert tips can help TAUN BEDDES
USU Extension
LOGAN — The condition of the soil often dictates success or failure in a landscape. Before spending money on trees and plants, be sure the soil is suitable for planting. Consider the following tips for dealing with four common soil problems. Rocky soil Rocky soil is usually fine for growing plants, but rocks make digging or cultivating difficult. It is better to get rid of surface rocks where turf and garden areas will be. So, be innovative with the removed rock. Are there areas where rock
mulch can be used to suppress weeds and conserve water? Will retaining walls be built? In the worst situations, it may be necessary to garden in raised beds or to bring in topsoil. If topsoil is used, add a minimum of six inches. Soil too hard to dig During the summer, it is common for soil to become too hard to dig or cultivate. This is difficult for new homeowners without an irrigation system who are trying to create a landscape. In many areas, secondary irrigation water is stubbed into the yard. Try installing a temporary hose bib into the stubbed
CRISTIAN GABRIEL KEREKES
Plants grow best in good soil, but when there is a problem perhaps it is time to consider changes for the soil. secondary water. This allows a hose-end sprinkler or drip hose to be used to moisten the soil and make it more amenable to digging or cultivating. If this

is not possible or if secondary water is not available, prudent use of culinary water may be needed to moisten the soil. Clay soil Those with clay soil often have difficulty getting water to penetrate the soil without it running off. If possible, amend with two-three inches of quality compost (not peat moss) six inches deep before planting. This will break it up and begin the process of creating quality topsoil. It may take five-10 years of doing this before noticing improved soil quality. One irrigation management technique is to break irrigation events into segments spread out over a few hours to allow water to better penetrate the soil. When fertilizing turf, make half applications twice as often to avoid runoff of the nutrients. If other options haven’t worked, it may be best to use raised-bed gardening. Compacted soil Excessive foot or vehicle traffic can compact soil. This destroys soil structure and does not allow water to penetrate. More frequent hollow tine aeration can help with minor to moderate compacted soil. In extreme situations, soil ripping is needed. If the soil is ripped or if the problem can be alleviated before planting, start by incorporating two-three inches of quality compost as deeply as possible. If the area continues to see heavy traffic, install pavers or flagstone to alleviate re-compacting the soil. Soil testing Soil testing is a helpful way to learn about specific soil characteristics and prevent potential problems. The Utah State University Analytical Laboratory offers soil analysis. A routine test gives phosphorus and potassium levels; pH; salinity and the soil texture (clay, sand, silt, loam, etc.). For more information visit http://www.usual.usu.edu/.
