depot, the Coffee Depot is an outreach to the community of the Wellsprings Ministries. Its purpose is to provide a gathering place for the community to experience respectful conversation and build relationships.

Wellspring Ministries is not a church, but the hope is that the Coffee Depot will be considered as Godspace, a place that offers an opportunity to encounter the love of Christ with each visit.

NSMS highlights social studies requirement MORONI-- Eighth-grade students at North Sanpete Middle School (NSMS), instructed by Amber Hill, Kim Markworth, and Tara Syme, are studying the U.S. Constitution in preparation for the civics exam.

In addition to 24 credit hours, Utah high school students must pass a basic civics exam to earn a high school diploma. This is one graduation requirement students can fulfill before they attend their first high school classes.

The basic civics exam was mandated for high school graduation by SB50, American Civics Education Initiative, passed in 2015. Students must pass the test with 70 percent score, or 35 out of 50. Students may take the test as many times as necessary.

Since 2015 the vast majority of eighth graders at North Sanpete Middle School passed the test and completed a high school graduation requirement. Many students first take the test in September, around Constitution Day. The students have multiple opportunities to take the test throughout the year. After an extensive unit on the U.S. Constitution in January, most students reach their goal of passing with 70 percent or higher.

There are online study guides available for students wishing to get a head start, and additional opportunities for students to take the test in high

The test asks basic questions, such as: What are the term limits for federal senators and representatives?

What are the powers reserved to the states and the federal government?

Why do some states have more representatives than others?

The importance of studying the

U.S. Constitution is not new. A Mt. Pleasant newspaper article in The Pyramid, dated Nov. 7, 1919, urges “Teach the Constitution”.

It further states: “There should never be a graduation certificate or a diploma issued to a West Point cadet, a State University student, a high school scholar or a grammar school

pupil who has not passed an examination and shown his knowledge of the meaning of the Constitution of the United States and its representative form of government.”

The students at North Sanpete Middle School are working hard to demonstrate their knowledge of the meaning of the Constitution.

SALT LAKE CITY-- Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Utah State Office is announcing the approval of final recreation business plans, including 44 new fee areas and modifications to 38 pre-existing fees.

New fees will be used to improve existing infrastructure and to develop new campgrounds across the State of Utah, including Moab, Monticello, Cedar City, Salt Lake, and Vernal.

In an increasingly urbanized West, outdoor recreation opportunities are vital to the quality of lifeenjoyed by residents, as well as national and international visitors.

These recreation business plans will allow the BLM to respond to the changing needs of public land users and show how the BLM is reinvesting fee dollars back into local recreation programs and communities.

The recreation business plans include campgrounds, rental cabins, day-use sites and specialized off-highway vehicle areas. The Utah Resource Advisory Council reviewed public comments, which were submitted during the 30-day public comment period, and recommended approval of the recreation business plans at their meeting in May. “These business plans will help rebuild aging infrastructure, improve recreation access to the public lands, and enhance the BLM's ability to support local economies,” said Ed Roberson, BLM Utah State Director. “The revenue from the associated fees will help the BLM better serve the American public and visitors to public lands.”

Fee modifications at existing fee sites will be implemented this fall, and new fees will be implemented six months after public notification through the Federal Register.

Increased fees in the Moab, Monticello, Cedar City, Salt Lake, and Vernal Field Offices will begin Oct. 1, 2018.

A simplification of group site fees in the Monticello Field Office will support needs for local families, school trips, and scout outings that may result in lower overnight costs for large groups.

The BLM manages over 23 million acres of public lands across the State of Utah and currently maintains 77 fee sites, including campgrounds. Most BLM-managed See FEE CHANGES, page 6

P Y R A M I D

Former MP City Recorder addresses hostile work environment Dear Editor: Sam Draper, I will lay out the best I can for you the circumstances that lead from a stressful work environment until finally it was so toxic and hostile we were forced to leave.

I recall the council members calling you to account for the work that you had been doing.

You inherited quite a mess and were in the process of cleaning up a bandaged sewer system, and deferred maintenance on irrigation, water, roads, buildings and grounds in Mt. Pleasant.

I don’t believe there was a day that went by in the last five years that you weren’t yelled at or called on the carpet for things that previous department supervisors had failed to accomplish. You were making headway before the micromanaging began.

Despite all your trainings and certifications, your advice about the roads was ignored even though you had been working on the roads for the past 11 years. Likewise your advice and opinions were ignored on the culinary, secondary water, and sewer.

You were working in a crisis mode and trying to catch up to have a proactive approach in all areas. You were doing mandatory safety trainings in your department to keep your crew safe.

You had told me that you wanted to have the best public works department Mt. Pleasant City has ever had. You had a pretty good crew and things were starting to improve. Morale had been low for quite some time.

You took a really messed up irrigation system and fixed it so that the citizenry could get their water but instead of being appreciated for working with less than standard equipment and manpower you were criticized.

Your construction skills were called into question and your workers were interfered with on numerous occasions. Council members yelled at them in public and called into question their manhood.

One council member even went so far as to grab your foreman by the vest, shake and curse him. They blamed you for not

being able to accomplish all the tasks that you were assigned in a timely manner. They set you up to fail but when you didn’t the council members decided to say you weren’t a good manager.

These council members that have jobs outside of their position on the council were given areas of emphasis. They blatantly ignored the guidelines and would berate and belittle the employees and the work that was being done, because they knew what was best.

In a meeting with Mayor Bigler, a council member and I, the subject of you managing your time well was brought up.

I asked if that was the case, then couldn’t we get Sam some managerial training.

We have a 10-year investment in him and he is a good employee without a write up anywhere on his record. The answer that this particular council member decided upon was he would assist and train you in a better way to manage your time and efforts.

He was supposed to give you some computer program tools to help you manage the employees’ time and projects. When it didn’t work exactly like he expected, he complained.

When you tried to save the city money and build things, you would go to the council and ask. You were given permission to build a restroom in the splash pad area.

One council member that wasn’t there that particular meeting went to the job site and berated and belittled the employees, including you for not having the skills to accomplish the building of the restroom. It may not have been built as soon as they wanted but it did save the City money. It functions very well.

They began to nit-pick everything. The grass wasn’t properly done, the road patching wasn’t done, the sewer wasn’t cleaned, it didn’t matter what it was they complained and tore everything apart.

Your new system to put the members of your crew in charge of different areas was complained about. It was working until they interfered. They wouldn’t even come up to the

shop and look at what you had done.

They heard complaints from the citizens and went after you with a vengeance. You dared speak up for yourself and make some decisions for your department. They couldn’t control and force you to do it their way.

You are also a working supervisor with reports for the State to complete. They kept after you so much you would come in on your day off to complete the requisite reports.

You invited them on numerous occasions to come and see how things were being handled in your department. They declined. They wanted results but wanted them instantly. They complained when you would try to upgrade inferior equipment.

I feel you were personally attacked most of the time. No solutions just degrading. They interfered to the point that you could not accomplish your work.

The council members said that you weren’t a good communicator but when you would try to communicate with them they would shut you down. They are not good listeners.

I remember speaking to two of the council members after the incident at the pool. They as council members, by our own city policy, were not supposed to dress you or the employees down.

When I spoke to them about that, they said they did have the authority and I didn’t know what I was talking about. After all, I was a woman and just don’t understand those sort of things.

They have gone to other female employees and have told them they need to be home with their children and to clean their house.

The council members were given information from an upper management employee in a secret meeting about work performance. We tried to do an employee work evaluation and it failed.

This particular employee, that gave his opinions during that meeting, wouldn’t do an evaluation. He didn’t have anything to base his reasoning. If he liked you, you received a good review but if he didn’t like you, well, the

review was not favorable.

In my opinion he wanted my job so he could be over the employees. He said I was a rebel rouser and causing the employees to rebel. He lied. He lied about several employees.

It is my opinion that this employee, videoed on his work phone conversations that were then taken out of context. They believed him. In my opinion, they wanted my salary and yours for a new position they were going to create.

He told them how he could do my job because I was incompetent. You were not cooperating with him and them. They got rid of me by making it harder and harder to complete my work.

Now, they have accomplished getting you to resign because of their behaviors by making it harder and harder to accomplish the work you needed to do.

You never had enough help to accomplish all the things that were required of you in your capacity as Public Works Director.

If perchance you or your crew got overtime, you were yelled at.

The person that whined the most was the same person that gave an undocumented review and evaluation of you and your crew. He passed the information on for someone else to yell at you.

It is a very hostile work environment. Morale is very low.

Lies are being told to get what they want because they know what is best. They will continue to make it difficult to work in Mt. Pleasant City.

I understand now that the newly elected mayor has resigned. They would not allow her to do her work as the chief administrative officer of the city.

They basically have patted her on the back and told her they will do the heavy lifting and she can just greet the people. It is shameful how they have acted.

They have intimidated and coerced employees to get what they want. They have created chaos. I am glad not to work there any longer, my health is much better now.

A car behind us stopped also to tell us that our gas tank was leaking badly, the rock had punctured a hole. This Good Samaritan, who was raised in Mt. Pleasant, took us right to a mechanic’s garage. But it was Saturday at 6 p.m. and the shop was closed. Luckily, the mechanic/owner was still in his office and came out.

Even though it was after hours, he said he could and would fix it but had to go to Manti for patching materials.

We were grateful.

When the mechanic left for Manti, we went around the corner to a restaurant to pass the time. The waitress was so nice and sympathetic to our situation as she said that she had had a similar car problem in the past.

She said that the restaurant closed at nine but that we could

stay longer if need be. But by then the car was repaired and ready to go. Then we drove across the street to a gas station.

I put gas in the car and went to pay for it. But my debit card would not work for some reason, even though I had just paid the restaurant and the mechanic with it.

Perplexed and frustrated, I was not sure what to do when a nice lady at the counter said that she would pay the bill.

Such kindness was unexpected.

I offered to pay her back, but she declined.

So, my wife and I left the valley having experienced real miracles. And now we know why the town is called Mt. Pleasant - there are so many angels that live there.

Gratitude journaling I watched the fullish, harvest moon rise Saturday night above the tall mountains in Utah County. It was a impressive moonrise. We had just eaten dinner at the Cracker Barrel in Springville, after having been to the BYU football game. I felt the edge of chilliness in the air.

According to my calendar, Saturday was the date of the Autumnal Equinox. That’s another way of saying that the seasons have changed again. It’s fall. I didn’t need a calendar to tell me that. I’ve already noticed the changes around Sanpete.

The leaves on the trees are changing – especially in the mountains. The apples are ripening. The kids are in school. New shows are being hyped on television. My hunting friends are getting antsy about heading for the hills. The spiders which have been content to live outdoors are wanting to live indoors with me. (I’m a hospitable guy, but my hospitality only goes so far with arachnids.)

What’s amazing to me about fall is that I ask myself the same question every year.

And every year, I don’t seem to find the answer.

What is the question? See if you can guess the correct response from the following possibilities.

A) How am I going to keep tomatoes in my garden from freezing until I get at least 51 percent of them harvested?

B) Should I, or should I not, do my Christmas shopping before Halloween, like some people seem to do?

C) Where did the summer go?

D) What is so darn interesting about a bunch of guys wearing protective gear, knocking each other down, while playing with an odd shaped ball?

E) All of the above.

The correct answer is “E.” Let me address these items one by one so that you can get an idea of my end of summer questions.

First off – the tomato question.

This year, I’m just grateful that I have a few tomatoes to worry about. I’m proud to say that I’ve had some success in my struggle with the two big “D’s” this year – Deer and Drought. I finally took a page out of President Trump’s book and built a wall. Well, the truth is, I put up a temporary fence around my small tomato patch. And because the garden is small, I haven’t needed much water.

So, I’m a happy man still eating tomato sandwiches.

I know that a hard freeze probably isn’t too far off. As a kid growing up, I remember helping my mother covering the tomato plants night after night when it was late in the season. She was good at prolonging the life of the garden.

This year I may try to cover up some of the plants for the first few freezes. But, most likely, I’ll forget one night and it will be the end of the

garden for the season. I’ll take the fence down and let the deer have a tomato vine banquet.

The Christmas shopping thing. Have you been in any of the big department stores lately? Yep – you guessed it.

Christmas stuff is being put out.

I know that there are many who do their holiday shopping early. I’ve told you here before about a particular friend who used to have her Christmas shopping done in the early fall. You’d go to her home about this time of year and there in the corner would be a pile of parcels all Christmas wrapped and ribboned.

I’d say to her, “You make me sick.” She didn’t care. She was done with her shopping and able to relax. She was an early bird.

Unfortunately, she died early too – way before her time of a heart attack. I miss her from time to time – especially when I remember things like giving her a hard time about her early “wrap up” of Christmas.

Where did the summer go?

This question seems to become more real as each year comes and goes. There really may be something to the theory that time progresses faster as one gets older.

The one thing I’m sure of is that there aren’t as many weekends in a summer as there used to be. There just ain’t. I’ve come up short again this year.

For just one example, I have a brand new tent that’s never been out of the box. I’ve had it for several years now. It’s a super duper throw it out on the ground and it sets itself up kind of tent – supposedly.

This season, again, was going to be the one that it got used at least once. But somehow, weekends mysteriously disappeared from my calendar and the tent is still in the box.

I know. There’s still time.

But, realistically, the tent will stay sealed in the box for another year.

As for my football question, I just don’t know why watching that game is so interesting to me. I do know that high school ball in Sanpete is fun because you know some of the players and their family members.

But in the overall sense, there must be something about the “battle” – something mysteriously cosmic going back to good versus evil. Or maybe it’s just that we like to see guys run around and get knocked down. I don’t know.

I suppose that there’s something psychological there that books could be written about. (Books probably have been written about it) I don’t think I want to delve too deeply into it. I guess I’d rather just enjoy the game without knowing why I enjoy it.

Enjoy your autumn Sanpete. And if you have “end of summer questions” don’t let them get you down.

Airbnb activates open homes program for wildfires in Utah Airbnb has activated its Open Homes Program to aid residents forced to evacuate from their homes in connection with the forest fires throughout Utah, as well as relief workers arriving to provide assistance.

Airbnb hosts in Utah and Sanpete counties are eligible to take part in the program and list their homes for free to evacuees and emergency relief workers.

In the event of major emergencies like these wildfires, Airbnb host communities are activated through the Open Homes program to encourage neighbors to help neighbors.

During these emergencies, Airbnb coordinates closely with local authorities in response. The Open Homes platform allows residents who have been displaced -- as well as emergency relief workers and

volunteers who are coming in to assist -- to find temporary accommodations with local hosts who are opening their homes free of charge.

These $0 listings are available through Oct. 1.

The idea for the Open Homes program began in 2012 in the wake of Hurricane Sandy and has since grown into a global disaster response initiative that makes it easy for Airbnb hosts to provide space for people in need when disasters strike. To date, the Open Homes community has responded to over 250 disasters worldwide.

Background on how the Open Homes Program works: • Airbnb has contacted hosts within the impacted regions to inform them of the Open Homes activation and to encourage them to take part in the program if they are in a

position to help.

• Hosts interested in temporarily listing their properties for free are being directed to follow https://www.airbnb. com/welcome/evacuees/utahwildfires where they can opt in by clicking “Sign Up Your Home.”

• Evacuees and emergency relief workers are asked to follow the same link -- airbnb. com/disaster -- where they can locate free urgent accommodations within close proximity by clicking “Find Shelter.”

• The Airbnb platform then facilitates the connection between the hosts and guests in need.

• Utahns who are not currently Airbnb users are still able to take part in the program either as hosts or guests -- simply by creating a verified account on the platform and

free temporary housing to people displaced by natural disasters, conflict and illness.

Through this program, those in need of temporary accommodations are able to connect with hosts in Utah and Sanpete counties who are opening their homes free of charge now through Oct. 1.

We encourage hosts in these areas to help those in need by listing any space they have available on Open Homes for free. Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by these fires, and we thank the dedicated government and emergency response personnel who are keeping our communities safe.”

MT. PLEASANT- The Lady Hawks Volleyball Team faced a week of ups and down after they let one slip away at South Sevier High School last Tuesday.

The Lady Hawks traveled to South Sevier ready to play, but had a difficult time maintaining momentum. With South Sevier winning in four sets, the Hawks trailed each set by only a few points, but repeated missed serves and hitting errors attributed to a victory for the Rams. When speaking with Coach Rickie Stewart she stated that, “South Sevier is a good team and we just didn’t show up.” She added that the Hawk defense was what kept them in the game and that there would be a focus on offense in the upcoming practice sessions. The hard work paid off.

Last Thursday, the Lady Hawks welcomed Emery High School to their home court. Emery was the Hawks first region loss and North Sanpete was hungry to take back the win. It was obvious that the Lady Hawks had focused on their offense as all hitters were aggressive and were quickly putting points on the board.

In the end the Lady Hawks quickly swept Emery in three sets with scores of 25-14, 2523, and 25-11. Overall the Lady Hawks have a 5-2 region record.

The Lady Hawks will travel to San Juan High School Friday and Grand High School on Saturday to compete in hopes to stay in the running for the region title.

Above, senior outside hitter Lynzi Fliders attacks a ball toward Emery High. The Lady Hawks swept Emery in three sets last Thursday on their home court.

Kelby Henry and Sarah Oldroyd block an attack by Emery High School. The Lady Hawks took a commanding lead in the third set when they quickly defeated Emery with a set score of 25-11.

Autumn leaves, cool weather, great fishing SALT LAKE CITY-- There are many reasons why fall is a prime time to fish in Utah.

Fewer anglers and fewer recreational boaters top the list.

“If you want to enjoy great fishing,” says Randy Oplinger, sport fisheries coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR), “in lesscrowded conditions, fall is the time to do it. Recreational boating and fishing pressure drop off dramatically in the fall.”

In addition to having more space to fish, anglers can also enjoy some of the best scenery, weather and fishing of the year.

Oplinger gives seven reasons to consider fishing in Utah this fall.

Less crowded conditions Looking for peace and quiet?

Head to a favorite fishing water. They’re much less crowded in the fall.

Cooler temperatures

Fishing during the heat of summer can be tough. The cooler temperatures fall brings also bring pleasant outdoor conditions that are often perfect to fish in.

Beautiful fall scenery The blazing oranges, reds and other shades of fall provide a backdrop that makes fishing in the fall both rejuvenating and exhilarating.

Active, hungry fish In the fall, water temperatures cool to a point that’s perfect for many fish. These ideal temperatures make fish more active. And, because they’re more active, they’re hungrier and more willing to take a lure or bait.

Preparing for winter As the water cools and daylight wanes, fish sense that winter—and the limited food supply found in the winter—is on its way. The fish start feeding aggressively to try to pack

weight on before their food supply dwindles.

Fall spawning Brown trout, brook trout, lake trout and splake are among the fish that spawn in the fall.

During the spawn, browns, brookies, lake trout and splake lose some of their wariness.

They become more aggressive and willing to bite bait or a lure. That makes fall a great time to fish for these species.

Baits, lures, flies work Because fish are hungry and active, there’s a good chance that favorite fishing technique will work. Pull a nightcrawler along the bottom of the water that is being fished, dangle a worm a few feet under a bobber or cast and retrieve a lure or fly, every fishing technique has a great chance of working in the fall.

North Sanpete unable to surpass Summit Academy JORI TURPIN

MT. PLEASANT-- The North Sanpete Football Team faced a close loss last Friday at home against the Summit Academy Bears.

The Hawk defense was able to keep Summit Academy quiet the entire first half as the whistle blew to end the half with a 7-0 score in favor of the Hawks. Toward the end of the third quarter, the Hawks got into field goal range and Devin

FISHING from page 4

Best fishing Oplinger says fishing opportunities will be great this fall for families and anglers who enjoy beating the crowds while fishing in a scenic place. This fall should provide some of the best scenery and the best fishing in the state.

Hunters note Also, if planning to hunt big game this fall, Oplinger encourages taking a fishing rod and reel too.

“Big game hunting is typically best early in the morning and later in the day,” he says. “During mid-day, there’s often lots of down time. That’s a great time to grab a fishing rod and reel and take advantage of the many rivers, streams and lakes in Utah.”

Census Bureau seeks applicants DALLAS, TX-- As mandated by the United States Constitution, America gets one chance each decade to count the population.

The United States Census counts every resident in the United States. The next Census in 2020 will require counting an increasingly diverse and growing population of around 330 million people in more than 140 million housing units. Recruiting enough applicants to complete this task is the heartbeat of this massive operation.

The Census Bureau currently has a desperate need in the following counties: Utah, Salt Lake, Wasatch, Toole, Juab, Sanpete, Duchesne, and Carbon.

The United States Census

Bureau is sounding alarms about the ability to hire hundreds of thousands of employees to conduct its decennial count in a job market that is near full employment.

“For the decennial census, the Census Bureau will need a large and diverse workforce to follow up by phone or in person with households that do not respond to the questionnaire." “But, the lower the unemployment rate, the harder it can be to recruit.”

The 2020 Census will be the 24th taken in American history. The Census Bureau is encouraging every U.S. citizen who is interested in ensuring that this historic movement is a success, to apply online today at: https:// www.2020census.gov/JOBS.

Each volunteer received a gift bag of treats from RSVP in appreciation for their outstanding service.

About VC The Volunteer Connection (VC) is only allowed to include the service of volunteers who are affiliated with and who report their service hours to

the VC as it reports to the Corporation for National and Community Service and to the Hands On Network/Points of Light Foundation.

The VC report includes information about the level of service and the difference that comes about in communities because of volunteer service.

The VC also realizes that this is only the “tip of the iceberg” in reporting the volunteer service that is being done in the six county area, and would love to include the service of others as they tell the story of what is being accomplished by selfless volunteers in central Utah.

To have volunteer hours included for service, and to “Tell the Story” of what a person has been doing in a community.

Many families have favorite foods or special dishes that their ancestors have passed on as traditional treats or main dishes. It is time to discover those once again and share them with others.

USU Extension

LOGAN-- While Utahns deal with disasters such as fires and flooding, other parts of the nation and world face hurricanes, tropical storms and earthquakes. Seeing the misfortune of others on the news, along with the unknown of what to expect in the months ahead for the Utah region, can add to a sense of unrest, anxiousness and fear.

It is a well-known fact that the best way to combat fear is to be prepared, and now is a great time to review, or begin, a preparedness plan.

The website: https://www. ready.gov/build-a-kit has an option to download a printable basic disaster supplies kit list to help people get started or to help evaluate their current supplies. The list also includes suggestions for “unique needs,” pets and seniors.

The Basic Disaster Supplies Kit recommendations include: 1). Water – one gallon per person per day for at least

three days for drinking and sanitation.

2). Food – at least a threeday supply of non-perishable food.

3). Battery-powered or hand crank radio and NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert.

4). Flashlight.

5). First aid kit.

6). Extra batteries.

7). Whistle to signal for help.

8). Dust mask to help filter contaminated air as well as plastic sheeting and duct tape to seal off windows and doors if sheltering in place.

9). Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation.

10). Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities such as natural gas.

11). Manual can opener for food.

12). Local maps.

13). Cell phone with chargers and a backup battery.

Additional items are important, but adding size and weight to the kit may require additional portable totes or back packs. Items to consider are pet supplies, changes of

clothing, sleeping bags, cash and prescription medications.

A complete list is found at the link above.

Remember that assembling a kit is not a one-and-done task; it requires regular maintenance. A re-occurring date may need to be placed on the calendar as a reminder to update and replenish the kit.

Canned and packaged food will expire, batteries will lose power, and as time goes by one may think of other things that need to be added or adapted to better suit personal needs.

The link also describes where to store the kits, namely in three prime locations: At home Keep the kits in a designated place and have them ready in case one must leave quickly.

Make sure all family members know where they are kept.

Consider including a list of pre-determined additional valuables that can be located and loaded in five-15 minutes if there is time, space and transportation available. The list can be taped to the container

top or stored in a pocket of the backpack.

At work Be prepared to shelter at work for at least 24 hours. A work kit should include food, water and other necessities like medicines, as well as comfortable walking shoes stored in a “grab and go” container in a place that is easily accessed.

In vehicle In case a family member is stranded, keep a kit of emergency supplies in their vehicle. It can be similar to a work kit, but one may also want to include some form of shelter and source of warmth should a person need to leave their car.

The key The key to facing potential disasters is preparedness.

The suggestions for supplies listed here are important and can reduce the fear of being hungry, cold or injured. However, also take courage in the power of the human spirit demonstrated time and again among local neighbors, families, friends and people across the nation.
