MANTI-- A lawsuit was filed Oct. 9 against Mt. Pleasant City in Sixth District Court by a former Mt. Pleasant mayor and two former key employees of the city. Plaintiffs David Blackham, Sam Draper and Jane Banks, through counsel Tycksen and Shattuck, L.L.C., Draper; have filed the complaint against Mt. Pleasant City acting specifically through its City Councilmembers Kevin Stallings, Justin Atkinson, Dan Anderson, Heidi Kelso and Keith Collier. In the complaint it is alleged that, shortly after Mayor Blackham commenced his term in office, Kevin Stallings and Justin Atkinson began
to insist that he delegate operational responsibility to them for the dayto-day management and supervision of certain city departments. Mayor Blackham refused to delegate that authority on the grounds that it would unnecessarily disrupt the efficient and orderly management of the city’s departmental business and personnel. As a compromise Mayor Blackham allowed the council members to have areas of interest in which they could monitor certain city departments and consult with the mayor and advise him of issues that arose. However, he gave them no administrative authority to direct or manage those departments. See LAWSUIT, PAGE 8

FAIRVIEW- A 1994 Chevrolet truck driven by Hazen Stevens, age 40, Saratoga Springs, was traveling northbound about five miles north of Fairview on Highway 89 at about 3:30 p.m., Oct. 4, when he crested a hill and ran over one of several sheep that had wandered into the roadway. The driver had tried to swerve to miss the sheep, but was unsuccessful. Neither the driver nor the passenger, Angie Stevens, 40, also of Saratoga Springs, was injured. Both were wearing seat belts. The vehicle received minimal front end damage but had to be towed from the scene. Cody Anderson, Fairview, was the owner of the damaged property.
Dan Anderson selected Mt. Pleasant interim mayor CHERYL K. BREWER
The Pyramid
MT. PLEASANT-- Following the Aug. 28 resignation of Mayor Sandra Bigler, Dan Anderson was one-of-three applicants interviewed for the interim mayor’s position during the regular Oct. 9 city council meeting. The other two applicants included Matt Anderson and Russ Keisel. Each applicant addressed the council and answered several questions. Both said they would be willing to serve on the city council if not chosen as interim mayor. In the end by roll call, city council members voted unanimously for Dan Anderson to take the helm. The council encouraged the other two applicants to apply for the open city council seat which will be advertised in the near future. Council reports Councilman Justin Atkinson reported that he has been working with Paul Madsen on the street repairs. He said they are looking better considering the condition of the roads and is looking forward to seeing a future plan for fixing the roads. He also said the sewer cleaning has been started and is making progress. Mayor Dan Anderson also warned residents that while the sewer is being cleaned they may detect some odor but don’t be alarmed, it is only temporary and will dissipate. Councilman Stallings reported that a well test will be performed before November. Plans are also moving along with improvement of the irrigation system and progress on culinary water as well. Heidi Kelso reported that the recent rains had caused water to seep into the library basement.
Crews had diverted the water and were looking for a more permanent fix. She also reported she would work with Lynn Beesley to get all the flower baskets removed by the end of October. She also said she hoped to work with Monte Bona to see about getting a grant to make some of the city grounds turned into water wise areas. She also said no library director has been chosen, but the board is interviewing more applicants. Mayor report Mayor Anderson said he had a proposed agreement with the Utah National Guard to use the old airport for sling load training. The agreement was for three years. Traffic and parking would be limited to existing roads and parking areas. Some councilmembers reminded him the agreement may have to be altered or rescinded if the old runway is turned into a roadway to service industrial park needs as planned. Council members signed the agreement. Mayor Anderson also reported the train is being worked on trying to get utilities in place so work can progress. He said he appreciates the city crews trying to get road patching done as quickly as possible. He also stated crews were still short-handed. He said the city is growing with several power connections needing done to service new homes. He also announced a Halloween Bash at the Aquatic Center on Oct. 26 and 27. Other business Paul Madsen reported that Mike Porter has requested a water line extension to his property on 900 East above the high school in the buffer zone. Porter said he would pay for material and other

Councilman Kevin Stallings said he didn’t think the council could make a decision that night because the city needed to review the policy before moving forward, so the request was tabled.

Coach sales staff like a winning sports team
DUBLIN, OH-- Sales is a highly competitive field. People who sell for a living often face many rejections before receiving a “yes." Coaching can be helpful to struggling salespeople, as shown by a recent Forbes article that reported many salespeople who quit cited a lack of coaches and mentors as one of the top reasons they bolted. Some in sales management see their role as comparable to a sports team coach, given the attributes required to drive success in sales and sports are similar: encouraging a positive attitude, motivating, presenting a clear strategy, insisting on dedication and breeding consistent winning habits. “As a sales leader, you will often find your people looking to you for wisdom, direction, and reassurance,” says Lance Tyson, President and CEO of Tyson Group (www. tysongroup.com), and author of Selling is an Away Game: Close Business and Compete in a Complex World. “Therefore, sales leaders need a coaching process that takes time to build up the people who make up the talent pool. Leaders need to look beyond what can be done today and help the talent realize what’s possible tomorrow.” Tyson, whose clients include the sales departments of numerous professional sports and entertainment franchises, thinks improvement in sales teams starts with how effectively sales managers coach their teams while emphasizing a competitive mindset. He offers five ways sales leaders can improve their coaching of their sales teams and thus facilitate more team success – much like a sports coach looks for ways to lead his or her team to more wins: Identify weaknesses Tyson says sales leaders must keep their eyes and ears open to find areas that need
Something to drink?
Coaching salespeople can be comparable to coaching a sports team. Many of the needed attributes are the same, including attitude, motivation, strategy, dedication and habits. improvement. This information may come from a customer or vendor, a performance review, or observations from a colleague. “Regardless of the source, always assess different opportunities for coaching and improvement,” Tyson says. Establish desired results This requires a leader to describe to salespeople the gap between what they are currently doing and what they should be doing. “Associate an identifiable action with all the steps in between,” Tyson says. “When the process is outlined up front, a team member can envision well-defined results.” Provide resources For the coaching process to be successful, sales leaders must clear away obstructions and make the appropriate resources available: time, money, equipment, training, upper management buy-in and support. Tyson says. “Most importantly, the salespeople must commit to the process and want to achieve the results,” he says. Practice and observe Practice, practice, and ob-
serve implementation as better results require new behavior, Tyson says, which won’t come overnight. “Once the resources are in place and have been explained and the desired skill demonstrated, it’s time for the team member to implement it,” he says. “They must sharpen the behavior with the help of a coach. Practice allows the coach to identify strengths and opportunities for improvement while witnessing the skill in real-time.” Use effective follow-up Many training sessions have gone for naught when there was no follow-up and new ways toward success were forgotten. “Remember as a sales leader that the goal is to effect a behavioral change,” Tyson says. “Coaching is a process, and it never really ends. The next step is follow-up – regular intervals to review results. And when the salespeople reach goals, take time to acknowledge and celebrate it.” “As a sales leader, don’t settle for telling the team what they should do,” Tyson says.
“Leaders need a process for coaching them to achievement. It provides a framework to accommodate an individual’s unique personality through small adjustments.” About Tyson Lance Tyson is President and CEO of Tyson Group, a sales training, coaching and consulting company listed among SellingPower’s Top 20 sales training companies of 2018. He is the author of Selling is an Away Game: Close Business and Compete in a Complex World.

I haven’t given up drinking soda pop completely. I’m not sure that will ever happen. I have been cutting back little by little though. I’ve felt some pressure to join the club of non-soda drinkers. Having passed a kidney stone a few years ago was an added incentive to join that club, even though I’m not really sure if there really is a correlation. Some people think there is a connection. What I’m drinking at the moment, as I write this column is a new’ish version of Pepsi. It’s called: “Pepsi Zero Sugar Max Taste.” The phrase with “zero sugar and max taste” together seems like a contradiction in terms to me. There are new twists on old products all the time. They come and go. I don’t think they make Coke Plus anymore. It had vitamins and minerals. I drank that for a while, but it just didn’t taste quite right. Actually, no soda pop with “zero sugar” tastes quite right. But, I drink it anyway. The Coke Plus formula had Niacin, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Magnesium and Zinc in it. Of course, it still had carbonated water, phosphoric acid, phenylalanine and aspartame, not to mention that ingredient that seems to make all the difference: caffeine. I’m still waiting for Coke or Pepsi to add the ingredients that would really make a difference for me. How about a cholesterol reducer, a blood pressure reducer, an antidepressant, and oh, what the heck, throw in a little Viagra into the soft drink cocktail just for kicks. I’m a little worried about the soft drink industry. My father in law retired from that business back in the 1994. He had his own private label (Stafford Ginger Ale Co.) and bottled a couple dozen flavors of the fizzy beverage in Connecticut. His company had home delivery, just like a milkman’s route. When visiting grandma and grandpa, my kids would drink soda pop for breakfast, lunch and dinner and finished the day with a sarsaparilla nightcap. My worry is that I’m finding that more and more people in my life are choosing not to drink soda. This smacks of un-American behavior to me. There’s a reason that Shasta Root Beer has the date 1889 on it. A can of A&W Root Beer has “Since 1919” printed on it. There’s an anti-soda pop conspiracy afoot in this country. It’s gnawing at the foundations of our soda pop heritage. Do we think that we can toss off our Root Beer traditions
in this country without consequences? For one thing, think of what would happen to the dental care business in this country if we quit soda pop consumption. The ripple effect from the decrease in dentists’ income would travel right to the heart of Wall Street. ommerce would stop as surely as a dragonfly stops when it hits my forehead as I ride my scooter. (Those kinds of “stops” are not pleasant – for anybody) The culprit is H 2 0. Yes – water. Recent years have brought us the advent of caffeinated water, flavored water, and vitamin enriched water. Water is popular. Water has become the “hip” thing to drink. People come to my house and I’ll say something like, “Would you like something to drink? I’ve got Ginger Ale, Sprite, 7-Up, three varieties of Root Beer, Fresca, Squirt, Lemonade, Black Cherry, Dr. Pepper, Apple Beer, Diet Pepsi, Mexican Coca Cola, Milk, Orange Crush, Orange Juice, Chocolate Slim Fast, Diet Coke, water, and a bunch of other stuff.” (I don’t offer whiskey - even though I have a bottle in my emergency food storage. Don’t ask why. And don’t tell my bishop.) So – after that beverage offer to visitors, can you guess what about 80 percent of them say? Their response is: “Oh, could I just have some water please?” I suck in a breath of disbelief and disappointment. And then I ask, “Would that be caffeinated or uncaffeinated water? Vitamins added or not? Flavored or not? Tap water or Arrowhead or Mt. Olympus or Western Family or Smart Water or Evian? (Have you noticed that Evian spelled backwards is Naïve?) Would you like it in a glass? With or without ice?” What I really want to say is, “Water?… Water!? What’s wrong with you? Don’t you know that water is more expensive than gasoline? Water? That’s what we’re saving for our houseplants. Water? We’re in a desert here. Water is for special occasions like weddings and formal dinner parties. I’m offering you America’s soft drink – Root Beer!” Okay – okay. I admit it. In spite of all of the above ranting, I drink water too – in addition to soft drinks. And I like it. But, I do like to put lemon oil, peppermint oil and some of that flavor powder stuff you buy in little boxes at the store into it. So go ahead everyone. Continue to sip your water 24/7. But please, don’t forget your “American duty” to join me in plopping a scoop of ice cream into a glass of root beer every once in a while.

Treatment will remove illegally released goldfish PAYSON-- In mid-October, biologists with the Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) will use rotenone to remove goldfish that were placed illegally in Maple Lake. The lake is in Payson Canyon. Chris Crockett, regional aquatics manager for the DWR, says the goldfish, that were once the pets of those who placed them in the lake, have multiplied over the past few years. The goldfish population has reached the point that it’s competing with trout in the lake for food. “And that’s not all,” Crockett says. “The goldfish are eating the native plants and reducing the lake’s water quality by stirring up sediment. None of those things are good for
the health of the lake.” Rotenone treatment Biologists plan to treat the lake with rotenone (a substance derived from the roots of a plant in the bean family) in mid-October. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has approved the use of rotenone to control and sample fish populations in lakes, ponds and streams. Utah has used it many times to control invasive species and to restore native and threatened species. “We don’t anticipate any impacts to downstream fisheries or water quality,” Crockett See TREATMENT, PAGE 7

NS Lady Hawk volleyball victorious over South Sevier Rams JORI TURPIN
Pyramid Sports
MT. PLEASANT-- North Sanpete Lady Hawk volleyball team hosted the South Sevier Rams Oct. 10 and took a quick victory in three sets. To start off the match, North Sanpete took a commanding lead as South Sevier struggled to get going offensively. The Lady Hawk’s tough serving attributed to the Rams having difficulty running an offense. The Hawks had multiple aces with junior Kennedy Emerick
racking up five. The Hawks won the first set with a 25-17 score. Even though the Hawks took the first set easily, the Rams weren’t backing down. The second set was more evenly matched as the Hawks offense began to struggle as well. The match went point for point, but the Hawks ended up victorious with a 25-23 set score. The third and final set ended after the Hawks and Rams had battled back and forth with the same 25-23 score. Overall, the
Hawks came out victorious with senior Linzy Flinders contributing 15 kills and senior Aubree Ison with 12. Setters Kelby Henry and Kennedy Emerick provided the team with multiple assists. North Sanpete also honored those seniors who have put years of hard work into the successful program. The North Sanpete Lady Hawks are currently in second place in region play and faced Manti High School Oct. 16, results not available at press time.

Governor Herbert issues drought executive order SALT LAKE CITY-- While recent precipitation has been beneficial, Utah remains in a serious drought. As a result, Utah Gov. Gary R. Herbert recently issued an Executive Order declaring a state of emergency due to drought. This declaration allows drought-affected communities, agricultural producers and others to officially begin the process that may provide access to state or federal resources. The drought declaration was a recent recommendation of the Utah Drought Review and Reporting Committee (DRRC), chaired by Mike Styler, executive director of the Utah Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Additionally, six rural Utah counties have also declared emergency drought disasters, including Box Elder, Carbon, Emery, Grand, San Juan and Wayne counties. “The rainfall we have received helps, but the drought is at a level unseen for many years and will not be solved with a small series of storms. In some areas, the drought is at, or near, historic levels,” Gov. Herbert said. “Such difficult conditions are harming the quality of life and the livelihoods of many Utah families and agricultural producers. The ramifications of drought extend beyond our depleted water supply. Drought harms our industries, agriculture, recreation and wildlife, and it worsens wildfire conditions and air quality.” Gov. Herbert also asks Utahns to use water wisely year round. Seasonal water conservation suggestions include: 1. Fixing any leaks.
BALLOTS
1940 - 2018 CHESTER-- Our beloved mother, grandmother, sister and aunt, Lena Vernita Wilson Kinsel, suddenly passed away Oct. 11, 2018, at Gunnison Valley Hospital. Lena was born June 17, 1940, in Coppermine, AZ; to Fred and Nellie Acothley Wilson. Lena married Herman Kinsel in April 1966 in Gallup, NM. He passed away Aug. 29, 2016. Lena was a loving mother to four children, and g ran dmot her to se ve n grandchildren. She was a faithful and devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Herman and Lena lived at Sheep Camp, then in 1978, with their children, moved to Sanpete County to work for Moroni Feed Company. Lena taught by examples of honesty, humor, a wondrous work ethic, and how to properly care for others. Throughout her life she raised sheep, cows, horses, goats, chickens and many other animals. She took pride in her flock and was able to nurture and care for them. Lena was well-known for her culinary skills, especially her Navajo Fry Bread. She loved to travel, accompany family members on hunts, laugh, sing, read and study the scriptures. She had many trials in life, and never once did she question her faith of The Gospel. She loved her family immensely. She was proud of their accomplishments and loved to relish in their successes. She is survived by her sister, Amelia (Henry) Nez, Tuba City, AZ; children, Hernold (Eve) Kinsel, Ely, NV; Michelle (James) Whelan, Richfield; Shanna (Dennis) Springer, Wales; and Marvin Kinsel, Salt Lake City; grandchildren, Samatha and Cedric Jones, Moriah Whelan, Shane and Tegan Springer, Aurora and Allissa Kinsel. She was preceded in death by her husband, Herman; brother, Franklin Wilson; nephew, Mike Wilson; and her parents, Nellie and Fred Wilson. The family wishes to express their sincere appreciation to Mission at Community Living Center, Centerfield; medical professionals at Gunnison Valley Hospital, Dr. Darin Cummings, Dr. Paul Gardner, IHC Ephraim Clinic and Sanpitch First and Richfield Seventh wards of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Graveside services will be held at 1 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 20, in the Richfield City Cemetery. Friends may call for viewing Saturday morning from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., at the Springer Turner Funeral Home, 260 North 400 West in Richfield, prior to the gravesite services. Burial will be in the Richfield City Cemetery under the care of the Springer Turner Funeral Home of Richfield and Salina. Online guest book at: www.springerturner.com.

2. Only running dishwashers or washing machines when they are full. 3. Turning off the water while brushing teeth. 4. Reducing showers by at least one minute. “This declaration opens doors for the Utah families and industries most harmed by this drought. Hopefully, it’s also an eye opener for the rest of us, and we’re encouraged to do our part,” said Styler. “We can’t control precipitation, but we can find opportunities to decrease our water use all year long. If we all look for opportunities to conserve, we can keep a lot more water in our reservoirs, which will really help if we have another dry winter.” Styler recommended the drought declaration to Gov. Herbert after the reactivated DRRC met last month. It’s was the first time the committee had been activated in about ten years, and it was necessary because conditions had reached

a threshold that triggers the state’s statutory responsibility to convene. The DRRC is required to meet by state code (UCA 542a) and by Utah’s Drought Response, which requires the state to prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies or disasters, with the primary objectives to save lives and protect public health and property. Drought conditions have developed to the degree that several areas throughout Utah are receiving severe impacts to various sectors of their economies. Agencies represented on the committee include DNR; the Governor’s offices of Management and Budget and Economic Development; the departments of Environmental Quality, Agriculture and Food, and Community and Economic Development; and the divisions of Emergency Management; Forestry, Fire and State Lands; and Wildlife Resources. Reservoir storage facts and
updates: • All of Utah’s 29 counties are experiencing some level of drought. • Sixteen of Utah’s top 49 reservoirs are less than 20 percent full. • Eight of Utah’s top 49 reservoirs are less than five percent full. • A full list of reservoir levels is available online at https:// water.utah.gov/WaterConditions/ReservoirDefault.html.

says. “We’ll restock the lake with trout in spring 2019.” The water level at Maple Lake is being drawn down to increase the effectiveness of the treatment and allow water users to inspect the dam at the lake. Public access There has been no public access to Maple Lake due to a for-
est fire in Payson Canyon and the Maple Lake campground is closed for the season. When public access reopens, access for recreational activities, including wading, swimming, boating and fishing, will be prohibited while the rotenone is being applied and for 14 days after the lake is treated.

Stallings and Atkinson began to insert themselves into the day-to-day management decisions of the various city departments and to direct and criticize department heads in the performance of their duties. The affected department heads were then forced to choose whether to continue answering only to the mayor, as they had previously done, or to begin answering to the individual council members who had asserted administrative control over their respective departments. According to Utah Code 103b-303, The Council is prohibited from exercising any executive or administrative power or performing or supervising the performance of any executive or administrative duty or function granted to the mayor
from page 1
Stallings and Atkinson were dissatisfied with the mayor’s compromise and the mayor’s continued refusal to delegate supervisory and administrative control of certain city departments to them. Stallings and Atkinson’s desire to have more control over the day-to-day operations of the city government and the mayor’s refusal to give it, created a political rift between the mayor and the two council members, which later expanded to the entire council after the other members sided with Atkinson and Stallings. It is further alleged that, soon thereafter, individual council members, (specifically Stallings and Atkinson) unilaterally disregarded Mayor Blackham’s explicit refusal to delegate his

by Utah statute or from appointing a manager to exercise such a power, duty or function unless that power, duty or function has first been removed from the mayor through a properly adopted city ordinance. The lawsuit states that, at all times relevant to the actions complained of in this lawsuit, the City Council had not adopted an ordinance removing any executive or administrative power, function or duty from the mayor. The lawsuit details several actions of individual council members taken against Mayor Blackham, Recorder Jane Banks and Public Works Director Sam Draper. It also details numerous threats, statements, acts of nepotism, and violations of closed or open meeting rules, hiring practices, contract awards and unlawful actions taken by the

council. The lawsuit states that because of all of these items, the city has had to deal with the resignations of two mayors and multiple qualified and certified employees and department heads. There has been a loss of morale and the existence of a hostile workplace among long time city employees and department heads who have been forced to endure the constant meddling, interference and unfounded criticism of Kevin Stallings and Justin Atkinson while the city employees worked to perform their duties. This has left Mt. Pleasant City with only one remaining State Certified employee and no certified department heads for any of the departments, except the power department. It also alleges that there have been unqualified, uncertified
people hired to fill department head city positions, which in one case resulted in the near death of a city employee and left the city staff and citizens vulnerable because of the lack of certification in the delivery of important city health and public safety functions. In the lawsuit it states that, the actions of Kevin Stallings, Justin Atkinson and the councilmembers who have followed their lead have violated Utah law with a complete disregard for Utah statutes, harmed the city in multiple ways and erased the normal checks and balances intended by the legislature to exist in city government. The lawsuit alleges that city jobs, contracts and work have been awarded to the companies of Kevin Stallings and Justin Atkinson, and to their friends, without following fair procurement and competitive bidding
process. Also, there has been an illegal enactment of a carefully planned and gradually implemented defacto change in the form of city government without obtaining any approval of Mt. Pleasant citizens through an election as required by statute. It further alleges the illegal defacto implementation of a Council/Manager form of government, which is no longer permitted for a class five city under Utah statute. In addition, it is alleged that the council did not follow Utah code in the replacement of Mayor Bigler, did not fill the vacancy within the required 30 days, did not give proper notice in posting the vacancy, has abused its power to act through the continued use of the Mayor Pro Tempore position, and had pre-determined to appoint Dan Anderson as interim mayor.
