Manti Candidate Open National forest plans prescribed burns House set for Oct. 21

MANTI-LA SAL NATIONAL FOREST

PRICE — Manti-La Sal National Forest fire officials plan to implement their fall/winter prescribed burning program at several locations across the forest. These projects areas are located throughout Sanpete, Emery, Grand and San Juan counties.

The planned projects include pile burning in areas such as Willow and New Canyon east of Ephraim, west of Scofield Reservoir, near Lowry Water, Dry Wash south of Ferron, and scattered locations across the Moab and Monticello Districts.

Planned broadcast burning projects would include Trail Mountain west of Orangeville, Shingle Mill west of Monticello, and North Elk Ridge on the west side of the Monticello District.

The USDA Forest Service prioritizes preparations for hazardous fuels reduction treatments to be ready to execute when weather conditions are right.

Manti-La Sal fire officials plan to take advantage of favorable burning conditions beginning in October and continuing through early spring of 2022, depending on weather and resource availability.

Please see FOREST, Page A2

Manti Candidate Open House, to be held from 6:30 to 9 p.m. on Oct. 21 at Manti High School. Candidates will have a table so you can get information, ask questions, express city concerns, and just get to know

those running for office in our city. There will be time to intermingle with neighbors, discuss common topics, enjoy the soft background music and refreshments. Please mark your calendars and plan on attending.

Prescribed burning is a proactive tool used to reduce hazardous fuels, which decreases the threat of high-intensity, high-severity wildfires.

Prescribed fire also reduces the risk of insect and disease outbreak, recycles nutrients that increase soil productivity, improves wildlife habitat and supports aspen restoration.

Dee Alonzo Rosenlof 1953 – 2021

Dee Alonzo Rosenlof, 67, returned home to his Heavenly Father and loved ones, October 5, 2021. He was born to Alonzo and Norda Rosenlof November 29, 1953. He married his sweetheart, Susan Terry, August 20, 1976, in the Manti Utah LDS Temple.

Together they had 3 children and created a life they loved.

Dee loved to be in the mountains, camping was his all-time favorite thing.

He enjoyed going with the entire family, and spending quality time with just Susan.

Dee was a gentle giant, and had a very tender, loving heart. He cherished his family and found so much joy in his children and grandchildren.

Dee had a passion for his work that was unmatched.

He had such a strong work ethic, and truly cared about his job and the people he served and worked with. His cement truck was cleaner and more immaculate than ANY truck on site- you might say it was cleaner than a new one!

He received an award from NRMCA while working for Westroc for a finalist Driver of The Year after having an impeccable 28 years of driving, without even a traffic citation.

Dee enjoyed working with his hands and was also very handy. He prided himself on being able to fix, build, or figure out how to do just about anything.

He was very good at taking care of everything that he had, and you knew

if Dee owned it, it was in mint condition.

Dee has always had a strong passion for anything with a motor, and recently fulfilled a lifelong dream of owning a Harley Davidson motorcycle.

He is survived by his wife, Susan, his children Jennifer Herring, Mount Pleasant, Mindy (Heath) Poulson, Fairview, Cory (Lacey) Rosenlof, Mount Pleasant. Siblings, Doris (Paul) Garlick, Kent (Holly) Rosenlof. Aunt Janet (Fred) Matthews. 13 grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.

Carol Backus Beardall 1949 – 2021

Carol Backus Beardall, wife of LaMar Beardall, left this mortal world held in the arms of her eternal soul and inspiration and her children on October 7, 2021.

She was welcomed home to the arms of her Savior. She had a deep and growing testimony of Jesus Christ and the plan of salvation and was firm in her knowledge that families are forever.

She was born to loving parents, Anna Jean Duncan and Earl Eugene Backus, on September 27, 1949. She grew up in Orem where she learned to love and appreciate all facets of nature.

Carol met her sweetheart in ninth grade and has been his eternal companion for 49 years. Carol and LaMar were married for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple on March 3, 1972.

They have been inseparable ever since.

Although she has held many titles during her lifetime, Darlin’, Mom and Grammy were her most beloved. Somehow she made every one of her children and grandchildren feel they were her favorite, and they were. She and Poppy always made time to attend every game, concert, recital or special event. She was our biggest cheerleader and fan. Grandkids will forever cherish playing card games, puzzles, and having quiet conversations with Grammy.

Carol knew the name of every bird, tree and flower.

She loved autumn leaves and flowering things.

She made sure her family appreciated the beauty of God’s creations. She was a gifted real estate agent and was closing deals until the end from her hospital bed.

She had a mantra that she lived her life by: “Because nice matters.” Being nice to people in her business and personal relationships was important to her. She truly loved people.

As a righteous member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, her most treasured calling was that of a temple worker at the Manti Utah Temple where she served with her eternal companion.

She thoroughly enjoyed her time there as she grew in testimony and in friendships.

“If I only could have known you sooner, I could have loved you longer.”

Our loving wife, mom and Grammy is survived by her devoted husband, LaMar Beardall, and five children: Emily (Korey) Wright, Nick (Lareesha) Beardall, Sarah (Andy) Avery, Laura (Fred) Hermansen, and Jenny (Marc) Snijman and 16 grandchildren and two great-children. She is also survived by her three siblings: Gail (Richard) Tolley, Kathryn DeSantis, and Duncan (Meg) Backus. She was preceded in death by her parents, Earl and Anna Backus, and her granddaughter, BreaAnn. Funeral services will be held Thursday October 14, 2021, at 11:00 a.m. in the Moroni Stake Center (82 N Center, Moroni, UT).

Gayle Hanah (Peterson) Beane 1937 – 2021

Gayle Hanah (Peterson) Beane, 84, of Fairview, Utah, passed away October 4th, 2021. She was the wife of Ivan Kay Beane and had eight children, twenty grandchildren, and eight great grandchildren.

Gayle Hanah Beane was born July 29th, 1937, in Lethbridge, Alberta (Canada) to Albert Harold Peterson and Mattie Jensen.

Being the oldest of five girls, she spent much of her free time helping her mom with the household chores and caring for her younger sisters. Her steadfast help was a great service to the family.

During her youth Gayle took interest in learning ballet and dance and became very skilled. She also learned the baton, became a drum majorette and participated in the Calgary Stampede parade. Later in life her skills in dance could have given her a career, but she chose instead to become a mother and raise her family.

After graduating high school, she moved to Calgary and met the love of her life Ivan Kay Beane. They dated, fell in love and were sealed on June 13th, 1959, in the Cardston Temple.

In time they moved to the United States to pursue additional education and eventually found a good home in Springville, Utah, where they raised most of their eight children. Later, they moved to Fairview, Utah and found good friends and peace.

Gayle served when and where she could and worked hard to follow the example of the Savior. She took meals to the sick, comforted those in need, served in the Relief Society and Primary, and helped with the music.

Despite her numerous health issues, she was able to successfully raise her family in love and with a knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

As a mom, she always found time to listen and counsel her children when the waves of life threatened, making the burdens easier to bear.

This past year was a trying year for her. However, she faced the test and never abandoned her faith and trust in her Heavenly Father

Manti-La Sal fire personnel have prepared more than 2,000 combined acres across all planned locations in anticipation of favorable burning conditions. Burns will be conducted through both ground and aerial ignition operations when site conditions and environmental conditions are within prescription.

For public and firefighter safety, signs will be posted along roadways where burning is taking place, as well as road guards when necessary.

Burning is planned for daytime hours to help limit visibility impacts from smoke to residents.

Burning may occur during some weekend periods as well.

Smoke will be visible.

She is preceded in death by her husband Ivan, sisters Judy, Janet, and Pamela, daughter-in-law Ruth Beane, son-in-law Joseph Fullmer, and grandchildren Elizabeth and Lilly.

lot of the public debate these days seems to be about personal freedom. There are lots of questions about where the line should be drawn on various issues between government control and individual freedoms. As a people, we generally don’t like being told what to do.

All this controversy has brought to my mind some thoughts I had a few years ago while at the Grand Canyon. I may have told some of this here before, but I think that there’s some relevance for the here and now.

As part of a vacation stop while traveling between the Phoenix area and back home to Sanpete, we stayed overnight in a cabin at Bright Angel Point at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.

During the visit, I found myself in the public restroom at Bright Angel Lodge. I can hear many of you saying right now: “Too much information, too much information!” But in order to make my point here, I have to start at a low point. So hear me out.

When I see a sign, I generally read it. It’s a natural thing for me to do. So, when I saw a sign on the wall in a restroom stall above a modern, flush toilet at the Grand Canyon, I read it. Here is what I read: “Caution – Reclaimed Wastewater – Do Not Drink.

I re-read the sign and wondered if I was missing something. I looked around to see if I was not seeing a water tap or some other source of water other than the toilet bowl. Nope, the sign really meant the toilet water.

Then, I wondered something else. Could they mean that service animals shouldn’t drink the water?

I had seen in the news that some scientists in Hungary have determined that dogs can understand human speech better than we think. But, I haven’t heard of dogs that can read.

I also have learned that miniature horses are now authorized through federal guidelines to be used as service animals. Guide horses live much longer than dogs and evidently are becoming more popular as service animals. I had a hard time visualizing a little horse in the restroom.

And though I’ve seen some horses do tricks of counting by tapping their hooves, I’ve never seen a horse that can read.

Anyway, my two main thoughts about the don’t drink the toilet water rule finally boiled down to the following two conclusions: 1) It’s a good rule, and 2) Does it really need to be a rule? (In other words, do we really need to be told not to drink toilet water?)

We are constantly subjected to “rules” in our lives. Rules, cautions and suggestions are important in life. We sometimes rebel against them.

My oldest son, when he was a kid, would sometimes say, “Don’t tell me what to do. I’m an American!”

Many have adopted that

motto. We love our freedom in this country and don’t like being told what to do. Parents have to deal with the free spirits of little Americans.

Coincidentally with my being at the Grand Canyon, I received a “snap chat” on my phone from a Snow College co-ed friend. I happened to be her church leader at the time.

What she sent was a picture of a package of Pillsbury refrigerated cookie dough. She had circled the words from the package: “Don’t Eat Raw Cookie Dough,” and then she put a caption on the picture which read: “Don’t Tell Me What to Do!” I started a collection of “Don’t Tell Me What to Do” pictures. They’re mostly facetious and meant to be humorous. I took a picture of the restroom toilet water sign and put the caption on it of, “Don’t Tell Me What to Do.” (The message there is, I’ll drink toilet water if I want to. I’m an American!)

So during our short visit at the Grand Canyon, I encountered lots of rules.

Here are a few of the rule signs: “Don’t feed the squirrels. Don’t feed the deer. Don’t feed the… (fill in the blank). Stay on the trail.

Don’t climb this ladder.

Don’t enter, dangerous area.

Stand uphill on the trail from passing mules. Don’t throw coins.”

The list goes on and on.

I took pictures of the signs and captioned them all with, “Don’t Tell Me What To Do!” All right. I know that most rules are meant to keep people safe and keep our society organized. Most rules make sense. Some are basic – like indicating what water is safe for drinking.

Think about driving and highway rules. What if we took the attitude of “Don’t tell me what to do” when it comes to driving on the proper side of the road. The wisdom of the rule and the consequences of not following the rule would soon be apparent to the disobedient.

A less basic highway rule is the speed limit rule. Some of us struggle with this one, as there is often not an immediate consequence.

Some of us just plain don’t want to be told what to do when there’s a long, straight ribbon of highway stretched out in front of us.

Sanpeters are free spirits in lots of ways. I saw a bumper sticker a while back that read, “Keep Sanpete Weird.” Some of us here don’t have to try very hard to keep that “rule.”

Even though we Sanpeters like to be “free,” we’re pretty good at rule keeping. We understand the reasons for most of the rules.

We know that if you try to hand feed a strange squirrel, you’re likely to get bit. And we know that squirrels may have a disease. We know that we should get out of the way on the safe side of a high, canyon trail when a bunch of mules come along.

And, I like to think that we know not to drink water out of a toilet. — Merrill

Ask an Expert – Tips for living in cougar country

BY TERRY MESSMER

Utah State University Extension wildlife specialist

Reports of cougar sightings have increased across Utah this year. This may be related to both the ongoing drought, as habitat conditions deteriorate, and increased outdoor activity, as humans seek solace from COVID-19. With the onset of fall hunting, fishing, hiking and camping, the chance of encountering a cougar may also increase.

Cougars, also known as mountain lions or pumas, can be readily recognized by their large size, tawny color, white muzzle and long tail.

Although cougars are found all across Utah, they are solitary animals, making them a rare sight. The main

prey of cougars is deer, so they can be found wherever deer are found. After making a kill, a cougar will often take the carcass to the base of a tree and cover it with dirt, leaves or snow, saving it to feed on later.

Cougar populations in Utah are managed by the Division of Wildlife Resources.

This management includes an annual hunting season to help keep populations in balance with their habitats and reduce the potential for human-wildlife conflicts.

Protect your home and surrounding areas.

becoming nuisance animals, do not feed wildlife on your property. Remove wildlife attractants, including pet food, water sources, bird feeders and fallen fruit.

Keep your yard deerproof. If your property and

landscaping are attractive to deer and other wildlife, cougars may follow the wildlife into your property while searching for prey. Remove dense vegetation, which can make a perfect hiding place for cougars or other wildlife.

Do not leave young children outside unattended, especially at dawn and dusk.

Cougars

T H E

Know what to do if you encounter a cougar.

From A3

a roof.

Provide a secure shelter for hobby farm animals such as poultry, rabbits and goats.

Encourage others to follow these tips.

Prevent conflicts while recreating.

Cougars rarely approach groups of people, so do not hike or jog alone in cougar country. Travel in groups and keep everyone together, including children and dogs.

Keep dogs on leashes.

Make noise while hiking to alert cougars of your presence.

Leave the area if you find a dead animal, especially deer or elk, since it could be a cougar kill, and the cougar may return to defend its food.

Cougars avoid human contact. However, if you encounter a cougar, immediately stop what you are doing. Do not run, as this may provoke a prey response and the cougar may pursue you.

P Y R A M I D

Do not approach the cougar.

Make yourself look intimidating. Stand tall and make eye contact with the cougar. Make yourself look bigger by opening your jacket and raising your arms and waving them.

Talk firmly in a loud

S H O P P E R

voice, while backing away slowly, and leave the area.

If you have children with you, pick them up before they panic and run.

When you are picking up a child, keep eye contact with the cougar and do not bend over or turn your back.

If attacked, fight back!

A5

Protect your head and neck, as the neck is the target for the cougar. If you are aggressive enough, the cougar may give up and leave.

If you have an encounter with aggressive wildlife, please alert the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) office near you. If the

encounter or sighting occurs after hours or on the weekend, call your local police department or county sheriff’s office. More information is available at Wild Aware Utah.

Identifying and accessing aging services in central Utah

BY GLORIA ALBRECHT

The Pyramid

In 1965, the Older Americans Act was created to “help older people maintain maximum independence in their homes and communities and promote a continuum of care for the elderly.” Today, the Six County Area Agency on Aging (AAA) in Central Utah is focusing on that commitment with senior and caregiver services.

On Oct. 4, the North Sanpete Coalition met at Mt. Pleasant City Hall and hosted guest speaker Brock Jackson, the Aging Services Director from Utah’s Six County Association of Governments, who traveled from Richfield to address the coalition.

Jackson identified the many services available in central Utah for the aging and their caregivers. These are available to all qualified seniors.  Home Delivered meals (Meals on Wheels) and Congregate Meals (Meals at the

Senior Centers) is the largest program. The purpose is to reduce hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition and promote socialization in addition to delaying the onset of adverse health conditions brought on by poor nutrition. In north Sanpete about 80 people now access Meals on Wheels, a number which has increased since the pandemic. For more information contact the Meals on Wheels office at 435 436-8275.  The Alternatives Program is aimed at keeping older adults (and other qualified individuals) in their homes to age in place.

There are eligibility requirements since the program is designed for low-income participants. In-home services include homemaking, personal care, and lifeline (Emergency Response System) services. This program is for persons 18 years of age and older. This program is state funded only and fees

are assessed on a sliding scale. Income eligibility can be no more than $1,595 per month for a single person or $2,155 per month for married couples. For more information call AAA Senior Services at 435 893-0725.  The Caregiver Program provides relief for caregivers on a temporary basis. Each client has a $1,500.00 per year limit. Those eligible for this program are adult family members or other informal caregivers providing care to individuals of any age with Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders, adult family members or other informal caregivers age 18 and older providing care to individuals 60 years of age and older, older relatives (including parents) age 55 and older providing care to adults ages 18-59 with disabilities, and older relatives (other than the parent) age 55 and older providing care to children under the age of 18. Sanpete County has seen a recent increase in grandparents taking care of their grandchildren. This program strives to provide information and resources to caregivers. For more information visit eccles.link/provider or eccles.link/caregivers for a full guide. Call Six County at 435-893-0725 for more information about the program.  The Medicaid Aging Waiver is for persons 65 years of age or older and is set up to keep clients in their homes to prevent premature admission to a Nursing Home.

Services include Case Management, homemaking (includes shopping/errands), respite, companion services, emergency response systems, medication reminder system, supplemental meals and personal care. Eligibility

The country’s aging population continues to grow, straining caregivers and creating a larger demand for services. In 1965, when the Older Americans Act was created, the population over 65 years of age was 9%.

In 2020 older adults represented 17% of the population. By 2030 it is projected that one out of five Americans will be over 65 years of age. Research has shown that rural areas have a disproportionate population of older adults.

Six County Aging Services is there to help people navigate the resources available to them. Visit them at sixcountyaging.com or the @SixCountyAging Facebook page for more information on how to access all available services.

Illustrated Guide to Exploring the Grand Circle, Utah & Arizona NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Anderson Group released their third Illustrated Guide to Exploring National Parks, State Parks and National Monuments today celebrating Southern Utah and Northern Arizona, known as the “Grand Circle.”

The “Illustrated Guide to Exploring the Grand Circle, Utah & Arizona” is written by historian, author and outdoorsman, Daniel S. Pierce, with illustrations from Joel Anderson and his team at Anderson Design Group in Nashville. This is the Anderson Design Group’s third installment of Illustrated Guides to Exploring, with previous books, 63 Illustrated National Parks and Illustrated Guide to Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

There are magical places in the United States that photos and illustrations—and even words— cannot capture or convey. The Grand Circle is one of those parts of America that defies description. It never fails to enthrall anyone adventurous enough to trek into its beautifully inhospitable canyons, mountains, deserts, mesas, ancient ruins, and riverbeds. Nobody can adequately describe the experience of watching a sunrise silently transform the pale shapes of the Grand Canyon into a glowing masterpiece of immense proportions.

Who could possibly explain the vertigo and wonder you feel when you are standing under the Delicate Arch in Arches National Park

Illustrated Guide to Exploring the Grand Circle, Utah & Arizona and looking up—and then all around—at the impossible shapes formed by eons of erosion? These iconic places really cannot be adequately painted, photographed, or written about. Yet every artist, photographer, and writer who experiences them in person feels compelled to celebrate and share their own interpretations of the natural beauty they have encountered.

“My family has had many beautiful adventures in Utah

and Arizona over the years.

Some of the most iconic natural wonders and vistas in the United States are in these two scenic states.

Arizona is home to the incomparable Grand Canyon and Monument Valley (the backdrop for so many Hollywood films). Utah boasts five National Parks—among them are the quirky red rock of Bryce Canyon National Park, the alien landscapes of Arches National Park, and the sacred cliffs of Zion Na-

tional Park. These awe-inspiring places are all located within the Grand Circle—a drivable circuit of National Parks, State Parks, and National Monuments which can all be experienced in a 2–3week car or camper trip,” said Joel Anderson, Founder, Anderson Design Group.

“I’ve enjoyed this region so much that I wanted to create a guidebook for exploring this amazing part of America. The result is a book that is informative, educational, practical, and full of wonder-filled photography and poster art. This book is a visual feast for the eyes, combining our own original poster designs with historic and contemporary photos.

I enjoy the pleasure of collaborating with a talented team of artists: Aaron Johnson, Derek Anderson, and Michael Korfhage — masters at emulating early 20th-Century illustration styles. I am also very fortunate be able to work with brilliant scholars who dig for facts and paint with words: Daniel Pierce, a good friend who happens to be a historical aficionado on the Grand Circle and an avid hiker, traveler and bon vivant. This collaboration has been a colorful labor of love. I hope you will enjoy reading this book as much as we enjoyed making it,” added Anderson.

Daniel S. Pierce was born in Arkansas but has spent most of his life in the mountains of Western North Carolina where he developed an intense love of the outdoors.

He received his B.A. at Western Carolina University, an M.A. in History at the University of Alabama, and a Ph.D. in History at the University of Tennessee. After teaching elementary school and high school, he began a career in higher education in 1995 at the University of North Carolina – Asheville.

He currently serves as the university’s Interdisciplinary Distinguished Professor of the Mountain South.

Dan’s research specialties include: the Southern Appalachian region, the Great Smoky Mountains, NASCAR, moonshine, and the history of the National Parks. He is the author of seven books including the most recent, Tar Heel Lightnin’: How Hidden Stills and Fast Cars Made

North Carolina the Moonshine Capital of the World (UNC Press, 2019).

“Illustrated Guide to Exploring the Grand Circle, Utah & Arizona, Western Wonders” soft cover books are $29.99 each, hardcover books are $49.99. Both are now available online at adgstore.com and Amazon.com.

Anderson Design Group (ADG) Inc. is an award-winning graphic design firm based in Nashville, TN. Founder Joel Anderson and a group of talented artists and illustrators have been creating branding, book covers, packaging, and posters since 1993. Anderson Design Group has 390 posters about the 63 National Parks and 90 posters of State Parks and National Monuments.
