Painter gives downtown MP improved ‘looks'

MT. PLEASANT-- Several buildings in the downtown area of Mt. Pleasant have recently been painted, beautified and improved thanks to painter Scott Griffin and grant funding from the Utah Division of State History, Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area and matching funds provided by the respective building owners. In addition to painting, Griffin and General Contractor William Burgoyne will begin remodeling the interiors of the railroad boxcars next to the now open Coffee Depot on the south end of town. Griffin is an experienced painter, artist and sculptor. He began painting at the early age of 13. He received an art degree from what is now known as Dixie State University, St. George; and learned how to do hand lettering from Ralph Huddlestone while attending Salt Lake Technical College, which is now known as Salt Lake Community College. Currently paintings and a sculpture Griffin created are on display in the Phillips Gallery, Salt Lake City. Eventually his art will be on display locally. His sculptures are created out of reclaimed and recycled items. He takes old stuff and makes them new. See IMPROVED, PAGE 9

sets date to appoint interim mayor CHERYL K. BREWER
The Pyramid
MT. PLEASANT-- The main focus of the Sept 25 city council meeting had originally been to fill the mayor’s seat after the resignation of Mayor Sandra Bigler. However, that appointment had to be pushed to Oct. 9, due to the fact the city had not properly advertised the position. Instead an amended agenda was approved to extend Dan Anderson in the position of mayor pro tempore. Several citizens came forward during the public participation portion of the meeting. McKade Lusk said he cares about the community but is concerned about the process that Paul Madsen was hired. He questioned who hired him, what process did Madsen go through, what is his job title, what responsibility does he have and what power does he have? He also asked why the position was not posted. Lusk also said that posting the position would have saved so much controversy and turning into a circus. He said so much could be resolved if kept in the public eye instead of making the city a laughing stock. He asked the council to do better because it starts and ends with the council. Councilman Kevin Stallings said the city was in an emergency situation and because of that, Madsen’s position didn’t need to be advertised. Stallings said much of the work needed was not done such as road patching and sewer cleaning. He said that work hadn’t been done because of crews being called out to fires in the state. Madsen is called a temporary coordinator, who will be assisting all departments. Stallings thought Madsen would be working until next spring Stallings also noted that a new material is being used to patch roads that can be stockpiled and doesn’t lose effectiveness. Stallings also said crews have been working on Fridays to patch roads. Road crossings and sewer cleaning are being done by outside contractors, but work is progressing. Another item brought forward was the water deficiencies. Councilman Stallings said the city is currently losing 50 percent of the water into the irrigation system. The city is planning to reclaim the water and also received approval to test a well that would be shared with the owner. See APPOINT, PAGE 10

Former MP Mayor makes statement Dear Editor: The statement read into the public record on Sept. 11, 2018, by the Mt. Pleasant City Council is a false and slanderous attempt to destroy my reputation. Because of this heinous action of a corrupt and out of control city council, my wife and I have chosen to put our LDS Mission on hold until this issue is resolved. David H. Blackham, Former Mt. Pleasant Mayor
LOGAN-Utah is cougar country. The cougar, also known as the mountain lion, puma, catamount, screamer or panther, can be easily recognized by its tawny color, white muzzle and long tail. According to Terry Messmer, Utah State University Extension wildlife specialist, cougars live all across Utah, from the high Uinta Mountains to the dry southern deserts. “Although, cougars typically prefer pinyon-juniper and pine-oak brush areas where there are cliffs, ledges, trees and brush to use for cover, there have been more reports of people encountering cougars in areas where they have not seen them before,” he said. “The main prey of cougars is deer, so they may be found wherever deer are. Because urban areas in Utah are also inhabited by mule deer year around, more cougar sightings have been reported in these areas in recent years.” Messmer said an increased number of cougar sightings have also been reported where there are urban wildland interfaces – areas of transition between unoccupied land and human development. “The increased cougar sightings may be the result of more people recreating outdoors, coupled with seasonal movements and dispersal of the juvenile animals,” he said. “It is less likely that there are as many cougars in Utah as some might think.” He said cougars are solitary animals that usually hunt alone at dawn and dusk. “Be especially watchful during these times, because this is when humans are most likely to encounter them,” Messmer said. Reduce risk According to wildawareutah. org, there are things a person can do to reduce the risk of a cougar encounter: 1. Remove wildlife attractants from the property, including pet food, water sources, bird feeders and fallen fruit. If the property and landscaping are attractive to deer and other wildlife, cougars may follow the wildlife to the property while searching for prey. 2. Do not leave children outside unattended, especially at dawn and dusk. 3. As a deterrent, install outside and motion-sensitive lighting around the property. 4. Bring pets and livestock inside at night or secure them in a barn or kennel with a roof. 5. Provide secure shelter for hobby farm animals such as poultry, rabbits and goats. Ask neighbors to also follow these tips. 6. Do not hike or jog alone. Travel in groups and keep ev-
Heart to heart eryone together, especially children and dogs. 7. Make noise while hiking to alert cougars of your presence. 8. Leave the area if a dead animal is found, especially deer or elk, as it could be a cougar kill, and the cougar may return and defend its food. 9. If camping, keep the site clean. Store food and garbage in an odor-free, locked container or hang it between two trees where cougars (and bears) cannot get to it. If encountered Cougars are generally shy and typically avoid people and urban areas; however, if a person does encounter a cougar, remember these tips: 1. Stop immediately. Never run from a cougar, as it may elicit cougar-prey chase behavior. Cougars tend to either pounce on their prey or chase it down. Runners may create the impression that they are prey, so don’t run. 2. Do not approach the cougar. Leave enough space so it can retreat. If the animal feels threatened and cannot escape, the risk of being attacked increases. 3. Maintain eye contact. 4. Pick up children and pets or keep them close. 5. Stand up tall, and do not crouch or squat. 6. Make oneself look bigger by raising and waving arms or jacket above your head. 7. Talk firmly in a loud voice, back away slowly and leave the area. 8. Fight back if attacked! But protect head and neck. If the attacked person is aggressive enough, the cougar will likely flee. Messmer said the cougar is a protected wildlife species in Utah. There is an annual statewide limited-entry hunting season on cougars in Utah. These hunts are managed by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources to help regulate populations and reduce conflicts. “If a person does have an encounter with a cougar or other aggressive wildlife, it’s very important to alert the nearby Utah Division of Wildlife Resources office,” Messmer said. “If the encounter or sighting occurs after hours or on the weekend, contact the local police department or county sheriff ’s office, and they can contact a conservation officer to handle the situation.” For further information about cougars, visit wildawareutah.org.

I did something recently that I’ve been meaning to do for a long time. I can hear some of you smart alecks out there jumping in at this point, “What did you do? – Take a shower?” “Did you finally stop plucking the gray out of your eyebrows?” “I bet he finally broke down and cleaned his closet and said goodbye to his tie dyed clothing” No, no, no – it wasn’t anything as monumental or epic as getting rid of any of my “vintage clothing.” Please, let’s be serious! Here’s what I did: I submitted myself to a cardiac treadmill test - again. In the spirit of wanting to live long enough to see BYU have a football team end a season in the top 20 and/or live long enough to see a grandchild graduate from high school, I felt like it needed to done. It had been quite a few years since the last one. I don’t want to drag you through all my personal health history. Though, I don’t know why not. I pretty much spill everything about me here anyway – up to and including my experience with a colonoscopy some years ago. Oh, by the way, I had another encounter with that procedure quite recently as well. Just in case you’re wondering, in the end, everything was fine. A big motivation for me to get my heart checked has to do with my family history. It isn’t all that cheerful. I sometimes tell people that I belong to an elite club. Out of five brothers in the family, I’m the only one who isn’t either deceased or had heart by-pass surgery. To get the test ordered, I visited a respected Sanpete doctor whom I trust and admire. I have visited this doctor for quite a number of years, even though the underlying message from him to me seems to be, “We’re all going to die, so what do you want to live longer for?” He has a deadpan (not bedpan) sense of humor, with the emphasis on “dead.” But I do like him and have the goal to outlive him. When I had the treadmill test for the first time years ago, a friend told me that it would be the longest 15 minutes of my life. If he were to tell me that today, I would tell him that I don’t believe that’s true. The longest 15 minutes of my life so far would be related to either the passing of a kidney stone or listening to a guy from the high council talk in an LDS sacrament
hol to underage person and obstructing justice. Bail was set at $3,900. Sept. 28 Geoffrey Vos Wade, Moroni, was arrested in Ephraim by the Sanpete County Sheriff ’s Office on a Manti Justice Court Warrant. Bail was set at $340. Sept. 29 Kyle Ross Bronson, Ephraim, was arrested in Ephraim by the Sanpete County Sheriff ’s Office on a Highland Justice Court Warrant. Bail was set at $1,000.

meeting. My friend has his own reasons for his test being awful. He suffered from muscle cramps and thought he was going to die. (Wimp) When I got to the hospital, the cardiac nurse sat me down and promptly commanded, “Take off your shirt!” It’s been a while since a youngish female has given me that instruction. She seemed to be interested to know how hairy my chest was. Again, it’s been a while since that physical characteristic of me has been of interest to anyone. Of course, she wanted to get electrodes hooked up to me. (I do have some hair on my chest, but I’m not a cruise ship hairy chest contest winner like my brother is.) When instructed, I hopped on the treadmill and started walking like it was a stroll in the park. It was “easy peasy” and I chatted with the treadmill technician guy. It was a “cupcake test” – no problem. Of course, it wasn’t long before I remembered that they were there to stress me out. They increased the speed and incline of my walk – big time. About ten to fifteen minutes later, my heart rate was extremely high and I was sweating like a marching band tuba player on the 4th of July in Phoenix. They injected the radioactive material into my IV and then let me do a “cool down.” Long story short, I survived the test and my heart seems to be fine for the time being. My oatmeal and lemon water diet might be helping. I don’t know. Maybe walking the dog is a good thing too. Dr. “Deadpan” and my medical support team think I’ll live long enough to keep making payments to the health care system for a while. I tell people that my goal is to live forever. Then I say, “So far, so good.” If you’ve been putting off some sort of medical visit, let this be a reminder for you. If it’s a colonoscopy you need to do, that’s easy. Drug induced naps are simple. You don’t have to think about what’s happening while you nap. I tell people that having that particular procedure is evidence that lethal injections aren’t “cruel and unusual punishment.” I could have “woke up dead” and wouldn’t have known the difference. If it’s a stress test for your heart that you need, it’s really not that bad either. And if you’re a guy, the chest shave is just an added bonus.

How two rice bowls, four chopsticks turned into billion-dollar business VIETNAM-- When the United States left Vietnam in 1975, it left behind a nation wracked with inflation, corruption and an identity crisis. The country staggered through the 1980s as a socialist-capitalist country – it tried socialism first, then modified it with capitalism. For the families that lived through the early post-American years in Vietnam, it was one crisis after another. Yet one family not only survived and thrived, it built one of the largest businesses in Southeast Asia from scratch. “My father started out with nothing more than two rice bowls and four chopsticks,” says Phuong Uyen Tran in her new book “Competing with Giants,” published by Forbes. “He persevered because he had tenacity and placed his trust in his core values and people - his business associates, employees and customers.” The company grew so large that Coca Cola wanted to buy it for more than $2 billion. Her father, Tran Qui Thanh, is chairman and CEO of the beverage company Tan Hiep Phat (THP). He turned down the offer from Coca Cola. Thanh’s company now supplies beverages, including herbal and green teas, sports and energy drinks, soya milk and purified water across Vietnam plus 16 other countries, including China and Australia. It is Vietnam’s largest family-owned manufacturer in the “Fast Moving Consumer Goods” category, employing more than 5,000 staff members nationwide. “It is never easy to compete with giants,” says Phuong, “let alone face them down.” But her family legacy is a story that proves David can indeed compete with (and even outperform) Goliath. Watching her father turn down a sum of money most
could never dream to see was an event that shaped Tran’s entire philosophy from that day forward. What has Phuong learned from the family values her father always applies in business? Five Family Values to Business Success: Create local product Authentic local products are hard to beat. That is because locals can beat the big guys in four critical areas – product, price, promotion and place. Govern growth Many companies on an upward trajectory just assume that their success will always continue. The best companies prepare for the inevitable ups and downs of business by growing slowly and methodically. Motivate employees As companies get bigger, they must focus on how their
employees work with each other, as well as senior management and customers. Adhere to standards The best companies embrace standards rather than try to find ways to cut corners. Her company adopted international standards for her products even though they were not forced to do so. Take responsibility The ultimate responsibility lies with each person at the business, regardless of if it is the owner, manager or employee. Whether starting with rice bowls or owning the entire rice factory, scaling a business requires strategy, discipline and good old fashioned family values.

NS volleyball loses to Broncos, defeats Red Devils JORI TURPIN
The Pyramid
MOAB-- North Sanpete volleyball team headed down south last weekend to play two region matches. On Sept. 28, the Hawks traveled to San Juan High School for one of the biggest region games of the year. The Hawks defeated the Broncos at home earlier in the season and knew they would be in for a battle on the Broncos court. Broncos The Hawks started off strong the first set with unmatched defense. Tiffany Peckham had several digs while multiple blocks by middle blockers Aubree Ison and Sarah Oldroyd ultimately shut down the Broncos offense. North Sanpete came out victorious in the first set with a score of 25-19. North Sanpete continued to fight; however, a few unforced errors lead the Hawks to lose the next two sets 21-25. The fourth set the Hawks strug-
gled as the Broncos offense got going and the Hawks serve receive began to dwindle. Overall the fourth and final set ended with a 16-25 score. Even though they were disappointed with the loss, the Hawks knew they had to pull together for the following day. Red Devils On Saturday, Sept. 29, the Hawks traveled to Moab to face Grand High School. With some added motivation from the loss the night before, the Hawks defeated the Red Devils in three straight sets. It took the first set for the Hawks to get going, but once they did they never looked back. Even though Red Devil’s defense was very strong, seniors Linzy Flinders and Aubree Ison lead the team in kills with Flinders contributing 17 and Ison adding another eight. Overall the game ended with set scores of 25-13, 25-18, and 25-16. The Hawks took the court again at home on Oct. 3, hosting the Richfield Wildcats. (Scores not available at press time.)

Then when Christmas would come, she was the first one to have her tree up, singing Christmas Carols, and building snowmen with her grand-kids. She had a love for animals ranging from dogs to cows. Her favorites were her dog Jake; and Sally, the cow; but she did have great stories about Bully, the bull. She also loved taking pictures of her family. The walls of her home were covered with cherished picture memories. Connie is survived by her husband, Donald Perry, her children, Donna Amen, Annalee Perry, Danny (Audrey) Perry; Chester Perry, Fuzzy (Joleen) Perry; and Kris (Jerry) Samuels; grandchildren, Clay, Trista, Audrey, Kayla, Rusty, Raquel, Garrett, Michael, Shadaya, Kristen, Mitchel, Brayden, Katie, Alyssa, Bryson, and Mason; and many great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, her son, David Perry, and granddaughter, Kortney Jo Perry. Funeral services were held Oct. 2, in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Fountain Green Ward. Interment was in the Fountain Green Cemetery.

New exhibitions announced at Granary Arts EPHRAIM-- Granary Arts presents three new exhibitions on display at the gallery featuring the art of Kim Raff, Page Turner and Liza Sylvestre. An opening reception will be held from 6-8 p.m., Friday, Oct. 12, 86 North Main Street, Ephraim. Admission is free. The photography of Kim Raff entitled “Land of the Free” will be on display in the main gallery Oct. 12 – Jan. 25, 2019. The creations of Page Turner entitled “Total Plentitude: A Congregation of Seeker Sisters” will be in the upper gallery Oct. 12 – Jan. 25, 2019. The audio/ video presentation by Liza Sylvestre entitled “Captioned” will be in the CCA Christensen Gallery Oct. 12 – Dec. 14. Kim Raff “Land of the Free” follows the United Sentinel Militia, Utah’s largest constitutional militia, as it weathers through an identity crisis less of its own design than of the society it sees itself preparing to defend. The images portray a nuanced group more compelling than the caricatures that make their way into main stream media. They challenge the perceived motivations of a militia, making few illusions about what it represents—an unapologetic
view that may indeed be more in line with the divisive pivot politics taking place in this country. This is a dynamic story about more than a fringe society drunk on the second Amendment, this is a story about the neighbors, and it’s one worth sharing with those who think militias are content to continue living in the shadows. Page Turner “Total Plentitude: A Congregation of Seeker Sisters” is a creation of Page Turner, a native of Roanoke, VA; that collects items of deep personal meaning to painstakingly create delicate objects that honor the feminine along with the desires, experiences and roles of women. Turner’s powerful assemblages include found objects such as fur, wood, shells, paper, and bone that firmly position her work culturally and geographically in the Appalachian region. Turner stitches these objects together with family heirlooms, antique fabric, and other personal objects, by hand, to create delicate sculptural pieces infused with a new feminist aesthetic and a soulful reverence for her heritage.
Raised as a devout Mormon, her work is informed by both her Mormon heritage and a feminist perspective. She looks to the religion and its complex history as inspiration, and explores the divide between righteousness within the faith and women’s personal power. With deep reverence, she pays homage to pioneer women of the Mormon faith, as well as the contemporary sisterhood and her Appalachian community’s pioneer sisters. Tuner has collected and adorned bits from her mountain, stitched delicate fragments of ancient family quilts and dresses, hand-spun fluffs of wool into gathering baskets and assembled a marked, open sacred space for a congregation of women seeking. In the exhibit, bodies dive into hollow logs, holes, and under piles of marked seeds. The sisters’ legs and skirts are visible, but their heads and torsos, active in searching, are invisible to the viewer. The collection features objects with gilded animal bones, miniature woven baskets, wood, and soft sculpture legs and skirts made of heritage fabrics. Turner brings viewers a reflection of her own sacred

This work is a touchstone for contemporary women who are searching for their own sacred spaces. Liza Sylvestre Curated by Jason Judd, “Captioned” by artist Liza
Sylvestre, is a feature length, single-channel video interpretation of the 1934 screwball comedy film “Twentieth Century” starring John Barrymore and Carole Lombard. As an individual with a profound hearing impairment, Sylvestre depends on closed captioning or other interpretive texts to have complete understanding of films. In Captioned, the artist replaces the missing closed captioning in the movie with what she describes as “self-commentary.” Sylvestre explains her process while creating the piece, “Sometimes I record what I think is happening, often I record my visual observations, and sometimes my mind wanders, and I record that as well.” This fast-paced, dialogue-heavy comedy, complete with improbable and complicated narratives, affords Sylvestre many opportunities to reveal her experience enduring incomprehensible cinematic situations. Sylvestre’s significant hearing loss progressed through-

Bruce Larsen, resident, approached the council and stated that to help the water situation, the city should make use of the meters that were installed during the time that Amoir Deuel was mayor. He said that if the meters were used correctly then water could be adjudicated better and could possibly help instead of rationing that has been used by the city in many recent years. Councilmen Stallings and Collier both said that a work session may have to be utilized since there is little time for the council to discuss items before actual meetings. Mayor pro tempore Dan Anderson said the city has received good news that sizeable grants have been awarded to
out her formative years until 2003, when she underwent cochlear implant surgery. Her experience lead her to explore, through a multidisciplinary practice in art, how senses alter experiences of the world. More specifically, how she can investigate this concept as, she states, “an individual who is medically, although not culturally, deaf.” While viewing Captioned, an enabled audience encounters oscillating narratives, the narrative of the original film, the narrative of Sylvestre’s experience, and the unique narrative produced by experiencing both simultaneously. About Granary Arts Granary Arts is supported in part by Utah Arts and Museums, with funding from the State of Utah and the National Endowment for the Arts, and generous support from Ephraim City. Gallery hours are Wednesday thru Saturday, 11 - 5 p.m., located at 86 North Main Street, Ephraim. For more information online, visit www.granaryarts.org.
