SPRING CITY-- A large crowd gathered at the site of the new Veterans Memorial adjacent to the newly-restored community center to witness its dedication to all of Spring City’s veterans. Courtney Syme, Spring City Veterans Memorial Committee president, welcomed the audience and thanked the many contributors who helped make the dream of the memorial a reality with the many hours of volunteer time and money donations. The committee was able to complete the memorial in a remarkably short time span. Much research was done by Venoy Hansen and Boyd Mickel to ensure all names were accurate and encompassed all who served. The posting of colors was presented by Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9276 and American Legion Post 4, both from Mt. Pleasant. The national anthem was sung by Charity Cooper, a Snow College graduate.

Hacking really began her painting and drawing career after moving to Sanpete County. She participated in Marie Lindahl’s painting classes for three years and then began to study the “Old Masters” style in Springville. These expanded studies increased her skill and masterful style. Hacking now teaches watercolor and oil painting at her home, but still considers herself as a student and will continue to pursue an art education. She plans to enroll in another art school this winter. Three years ago, Hacking became president of the North Sanpete Arts Council, (NSAC).

Six expert tips for safe turkey preparation LOGAN-- Because of the number of turkeys prepared this time of year, food-borne illness increases during the holidays. If not prepared properly, turkey and all poultry can carry Salmonella, a common type of bacteria that can cause food-borne illness. Consider these tips for preparing a safe and tasty turkey this year. 1.) The first and most im-

Pleasant, Utah 84647
portant food safety step is to properly thaw the turkey. The best way to thaw it is in the refrigerator. Make sure it is still in its original wrapper, and put a tray underneath it to catch juices and prevent cross contamination. It will need 24 hours of thawing time for every fourto-five pounds of turkey, so make sure there is enough time to properly thaw it. Once thawed, cook the turkey within one-to-two days. 2.) If the turkey needs to be thawed more quickly, use the cold water method. Place the turkey in an airtight package or leak-proof bag. Submerge the turkey in cold water for 30 minutes per pound, and make sure to change the water every half hour so it remains cold. Cook immediately. 3.) If the purchased turkey is small, it may be possible to thaw it in the microwave. Check the manufacturer’s instructions for the size of turkey that will fit in the microwave, the minutes per pound and the power level for thawing. Roast it immediately after thawing.
4.) It is never safe to thaw turkey or other meat on the counter. This is putting the meat in what food safety experts call the danger zone, 40 to 140 F, which is where bacteria multiply rapidly. Under ideal conditions, bacteria can double every 10 to 20 minutes. That means one cell can
increase to more than 16 million cells in eight hours. For this reason, perishable foods such as poultry should never be held at room temperature for more than two hours. 5.) To roast a turkey, set the oven temperature no lower

See TURKEY PREP, page 5
What follows is random and rambling. (Not unlike the way my life seems to be a lot of the time) Congrats to the North Sanpete Hawks for getting to the State Championship Football game for the first time ever. That’s a terrific accomplishment. Legendary Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi was reported to have said, “Winning isn’t everything. It’s the only thing.” (From my research, UCLA coach Red Sanders evidently said it first) However Lombardi, by some accounts, later said that he was misquoted. He claimed that what he said was: “Winning isn’t everything. The will to win is the only thing.” The Hawks certainly had the will to win to achieve what they did. All in all, it was a great season. The deer hunt – what happened? It came and went with me scarcely noticing. In all the years I’ve been around, the hunt this year seemed to be the lowest profile I’ve ever observed. And as I often quote Yogi Berra, “You can observe a lot by watching.” Of course, as a non-hunter, I haven’t been paying too close of attention. In the olden days, there were dances called “Deer Hunter’s Balls” held up and down the country. I was in a rock and roll band during my high school days. We played for some of those dances and called them “Deer Hunter’s Brawls.” Those events could get a little rambunctious when hunters thought they needed the assistance of alcohol to celebrate the opening of the deer hunt. I don’t think the Native Americans would have looked as silly when they had their dances before their hunts back in the olden days. It used to be that on the Sundays of the deer hunt, the conversation up and down the halls of the church was all related to the latest hunting tall tales. Some of that still happens I’m sure. It was commonplace for families to come down off the mountain for church services and then go back up to the deer camp. My home is my deer camp. The deer come to me. I planted a new little Quaking Aspen tree this year. Suddenly, this fall, the deer seem to want to nibble the bark off of it. I’ve sprayed it with pruning sealant stuff and have had to wrap it with tree fabric four different times. I may either have to build a fence or maybe we’ll be having venison for Thanksgiving. When I gave that Yogi Berra quote above, it occurred to me that people I know might be getting tired of me throwing Yogi quotes around all the time. He’s not the only one that I’m fond of quoting. Mark Twain said
lots of fun things too. And as we attempt to finish up the business of the recent elections across the country, I thought of one Twain quote in particular: “Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.” Here’s a few other quotes of Mark Twain that I like: “Do not put off till tomorrow what can be put off till day after tomorrow…” “When angry, count to four; when very angry, swear.” “… heaven for climate, and hell for company.” “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.” Otherwise, the rhythm of life just keeps marching on. Thanksgiving is next week for heaven sakes! One thing we can be grateful for, speaking of the elections, is that the political advertising on television has finally subsided. I’m sure Mia Love and Ben McAdams are basically good people, but I got really tired of their campaign advertising. At this writing, a week after Election Day, that congressional race has yet to have a clear-cut winner declared. We have so many methods and types of voting these days that attempting to give everyone a fair chance to vote has made for delays in determinations in the close call contests. I believe that getting the ballot in the mail is an improvement in the process. I think there were many standing in line in the Sanpete County Courthouse who wished that they had used the “vote by mail” method. It’s been chilly lately – like really cold. These last few college football games in Utah are going to be bone-chilling events. I’ll be dressed like a Mt. Everest climber Saturday night at BYU’s stadium. How about USU Football? They are tearing it up. They are currently ranked #14 in the Associated Press poll. I’ve heard it reported that if they can get past Colorado State and Boise State, they will likely be ranked higher than they ever have been. Back in the Merlin Olsen days of the early 1960s, they had a #10 ranking. Get ready to start thawing that Sanpete Norbest turkey for Thanksgiving. The Norbest website says for that thawing in the refrigerator, plan on one day for every four pounds of turkey. Then the turkey should be used within one-to-two days after thawing. There’s lots of good information about preparing your turkey at https://norbest.com/. Well, that’s enough rambling for now. Stay warm Sanpete. And remember, “He who chops his own wood, gets warm twice.” (I’m letting Dominion Energy chop my wood nowadays).

WTO members support policy approaches to enable innovation in agriculture WASHINGTON-- U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue recently announced that the United States has joined with 12 other nations to support policies that enable agricultural innovation, including genome editing. The International Statement on Agricultural Applications of Precision Biotechnology was released in Geneva at the World Trade Organization (WTO) Committee on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures. “Precision biotechnologies such as genome editing hold great promise for both farmers and consumers around the world. These tools can play a critical role in helping farmers address many of the production challenges they face while improving the quality and nutritional value of foods available to consumers worldwide,” said Perdue. “Unfortunately, such technologies too often face regula-
tory roadblocks that are based on misinformation and political posturing. Therefore, it’s gratifying to see Argentina and other allies come together under the WTO umbrella to publicly embrace science-based regulatory systems that will allow us to unlock the huge potential of these new technologies.” Countries and organizations supporting the statement, to date, are: Argentina, which led this effort, as well as Australia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Honduras, Jordan, Paraguay, the United States, Uruguay, Vietnam and the Secretariat of the Economic Community of West African States. The text of the joint statement, which is being updated as additional countries sign on, is available on the WTO website. For more information, visit https://www.wto.org/.

MT PLEASANT CITY FLAG FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

Coach Rhett Bird presents his team with the second place trophy last Saturday at Weber State University after being defeated by Summit Academy.
North Sanpete loses to Summit Academy 55-18 in state finals THE PYRAMID
Jori Turpin
OGDEN - The North Sanpete Football Team made history Saturday as they played for their first championship football trophy in school history. The team, along with much of Sanpete County, traveled to Weber State University Saturday evening to participate in the historical event against the Summit Academy Bears. Previously in the season, North Sanpete and Summit Academy had faced each other and Summit Academy barely escaped with a win. North Sanpete coaches and players both believed that if they could continue their strong defense and be aggressive on offense, they could overcome Summit Academy in the championship. However, North Sanpete’s usually strong defense wasn’t able to stop Summit Academy this time around. When the game began, the Bears quickly scored 21 points in the first quarter. At the start of the second, the Bears scored again bringing the score to 28-0, in favor of Summit Academy. The Hawks were eventually
able to gain some momentum and put up points against the Bears scoring two touchdowns and bringing the score to 2812. It appeared that there might be another close game between the Hawks and Bears; the momentum however, was short lived as Summit Academy quickly answered back by putting 14 more points on the board bringing the score at the half to 42-12 for the Bears. Unfortunately, the Hawks weren’t able to close the gap in the second half as both teams scored, but the deficit was too large to overcome. The second half ended with North Sanpete 18 Summit Academy 55. Coach Rhett Bird expressed that there was frustration as the game slipped away, but he was proud of the Hawks winning season and how far they had come. Last year North Sanpete had a 0-10 season. The work the team and coaches put in over the year obviously paid off as North Sanpete climbed to second in the 3A classification. Overall, the season and second place finish is something the team, coaches, and community are all very proud of.
Jones’ took second place in the Mt. Pleasant City Flag Football League championships. Team members are Chad Jones, Rick Jones, Holly Jones, Andrew Mitchell, Kallie Spencer, Andrew Mitchell, Jordan Thompson, Jason Jorgensen and Tyler Jolley. Third place went to Far West Construction.

Shop local, dine local supports community small business heroes DAN NORDBERG
SBA’s Region VIII Administrator
DENVER, CO-- Every year after Thanksgiving, Americans kick off the holiday shopping season with big stores advertising deal after deal. But this year, on Small Business Saturday, Nov. 24, join with others in making at least one purchase from a locally-owned small business in a local city or town. Not long ago, Americans during the holiday season typically would visit locally-owned small retailers in a downtown area to purchase all of their gifts. Business owners would decorate their shops with lights and ornaments or create elaborate window displays to grab the imagination of a passerby and encourage them inside. It was a magical time of year, and many of us still hold on to those memories today. With the dramatic changes in retail over the last twenty years, those holiday scenes have been in danger of passing into the realm of nostalgic folklore. Recent surveys show that 79 percent of Americans make regular online purchases throughout the year. Brick and mortar businesses are looking for new ways to compete and provide a more personalized customer service focus, as well as benefits to the local community by creating jobs and boosting the local economy. Their efforts are working, and small businesses remain the top producers both in Utah and nationally. Here at home, Utah's 277,000 small businesses continue to generate two of every three net new jobs and deliver essential goods and services to the state's population. As the voice of this nation's entrepreneurs, the U.S. Small Business Administration celebrates the United States' 30 million small businesses that still ignite local economies and enrich communities through-
out the year. In 2017, Small Business Saturday provided a huge boost to the overall U.S. economy when 108 million consumers shopped or dined small and generated nearly $12 billion in reported spending. With the increased consumer confidence in the economy, combined with the benefit of the president's tax cuts, this year's Small Business Saturday, on Nov. 24, looks to be even brighter. In addition to the tax cuts themselves, which have benefited virtually everyone, more than six million American workers have received a bonus, a pay raise or improved job benefits as a result of these cuts. This translates into great news for small retailers and restaurants across the country, because consumer spending during the holidays is expected to increase by five percent as a result of the growing economy. By cutting taxes and regulations, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act has helped small businesses, the backbone of Utah's economy, to thrive and grow. Their accelerating prosperity is good news not only for America's small businesses themselves but for society as a whole. In so many ways, small businesses act as the glue that holds communities together. They fund the local tax base, finance local nonprofits and charitable organizations, and create good jobs that boost the overall economy. These business owners are true heroes of local communities. Let's all join the more than 100 million Americans in shopping and dining local as this holiday season is begun.

Nearly $40 million has been raised for children at Primary Children’s Hospital to further the hospitals mission of providing the best medical care to children throughout the Intermountain area. This annual festival is organized by a volunteer board of 85 individuals who enlist time and talents from thousands of organizations, businesses and families throughout Utah and beyond to raise money to benefit the children.

He said, “As I look at the names on the memorial I can’t help but think of all the bloodshed, violence and sacrifices these veterans must have seen throughout America’s history.” Thomson has served 27 years
across the street and west of South Towne Expo Center). To eliminate the worry of finding parking, consider taking UTAs TRAX to the Festival of Trees. The Sandy Expo Station (Blue Line) is located just north of the Mountain America Expo Center. To view the TRAX schedule, visit http://rideuta.com/Rider-Tools/Schedulesand-Maps. Holiday tradition The 48th annual Festival of Trees will either begin or continue a holiday tradition that guarantees to entertain people, meet their shopping needs, satisfy a sweet tooth, touch a heart, and offer a way to give back to Primary Children’s Hospital. This holiday event began 48 years ago to raise funds for Primary Children’s Hospital. It has become a tradition that inspires individuals, groups, businesses, and families to serve together for an important cause. The Festival of Trees is thought to be the largest in-door display of decorated Christmas trees in the world. In addition, thousands attend each year to see the display of gingerbread creations, centerpieces, quilts, outdoor playhouses, and wreaths, as well as enjoy live entertainment, have pictures taken with Santa Claus, visit Kids Korner (activities especially for children), feast on hot scones and sweet rolls and shop in the Gift Boutique and Sweet Shoppe. Primary Children’s Hospital Everything raised during the Festival of Trees benefits children cared for at Primary Children’s
in the Utah National Guard and currently his full time job is Shop Supervisor at the Mt. Pleasant Armory. He is also Maintenance Officer for the 640th Regional Training Institute at Camp Williams. In his Mt. Pleasant office hangs the World War II uniforms of both of his grandfathers. As he pondered about his invitation to speak at the dedication, he noted that other than knowing where his two grandfather’s served, he didn’t know much
about the details of their service. He encouraged everyone to write down their stories for future generations. Thomson said with the dedication of this beautiful monument, names are etched in stone and no matter what people think going forward, the monument will transcend generation after generation and will never be forgotten. He said, “As I see all the veterans’ names on the memorial and the sacrifices they made, I truly
Hospital. As the only free standing full-service children’s hospital in the Intermountain West, Primary Children’s Hospital offers cutting-edge treatment in over 60 subspecialties, from cancer to cardiology, and neurosurgery to orthopedics. Primary Children’s Hospital cares for children without regard to race, religion or the ability to pay. In 2017 Primary Children’s expended $18.8 million to cover 13,645 hospital visits by children in need. The financial assistance benefited children from throughout the Intermountain area, which includes Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, Montana and beyond. Join the festival by giving “A Gift of Love” to children at Primary Children’s Hospital and put the 2018 Festival of Trees at the top of the Christmas list! What to expect Those who attend the festival can expect to see over 800 Christmas trees of every theme on display. Also a playhouse plaza with childsized dream houses, dollhouses, rocking horses, handmade toys and outdoor items. In the sweet shop there will be lots of edible items for sale including chocolate dipped fruit, pretzels, caramels, fudge, chocolates, hot scones, sweet rolls, divinity and warm bread along with many unique and handmade gifts. The gift boutique will feature a variety of items, many of which are handcrafted such as quilts, toys, baby gifts, note cards, Christmas décor, jewelry, kitchen and home items and

many more. There will also be wreaths, centerpieces, table and mantle decorations and collectibles. Be sure to visit the gingerbread village with its many creations with icing and candy.

believe I serve in the shadow of giants.” He humbly thanked everyone for their contribution with time, money and work for the magnificent monument to be completed. CWO3 Thomson then introduced the guest speaker, Major General Jefferson S. Burton, commander of over 8,000 men and women in the Utah National Guard and Air Guard, who are serving all over the world. Major General Burton said he was honored to be asked to speak at the dedication. For the last 17 years, he has carried a
list of friends and colleagues who have lost their lives so this country can enjoy freedoms. The list reminds him of those sacrifices. He said he comes from a long line of service oriented people who taught him loyalty and self-respect noting that people in the military serve their country not for the glory but most learn to love more and hate less. He said the monument was a great tribute to those who have served this remarkable country. Spring City Mayor Jack Monnett also spoke and said he was delighted with the monu-
ment. He said when Courtney Syme approached the council about the possibility of building a veterans memorial, he said the council was in favor but wished him luck in getting funding and raising the money needed. Funding came from many contributors such as current and past residents, Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area and grants. Mayor Monnett presented both Courtney Syme and Nedra Allred with a token of the town’s gratitude for their hard work to make the monument a reality.

munity source for artists who live in the Sanpete valley, to help exhibit their art, to use the NSAC resources to help the community enjoy and cultivate the arts. Many popular artists have been hosted in the NSACs Hub City Gallery and the search is always looking for more artists to participate. At this time the NSAC council is small, but has a growing membership. Wendy Hacking has done much to guide the NSAC, organize, establish and help others to recognize the importance
of art in the Sanpete valley and arrange for fine art to be viewed here. With Hacking’s hard work and effort through the NSAC, it is expected that there will be two collections of art owned by the State of Utah, which will be on exhibit next year in May and July. The first show next May is entitled, “And so they painted”. It is a collection of Native American Art. Then In July, there will be a collection of paintings done by Vietnam Veterans.
