American Family Insurance presents financial award to All One People MADISON, WI-- American Family Insurance occasionally invites their agents to submit nominations of charitable organizations to which they personally donate. The organization selected is then awarded a donation matching that of the agent. This year Carol Carver of American Family Insurance, Ephraim, nominated All One People and her nomination was selected for this generous award. All One People, a non-profit organization based in Manti, is supported almost exclusively by the people in the Sanpete area. Community members come together in a variety of ways to improve opportunities for youth in Kenya who are struggling with overwhelming obstacles and disadvantages. Kenya’s free public education system only goes through eighth grade. After that, the student must go to a boarding school and provide all their own funds for boarding, tuition, uniforms and so forth. Many bright, eager young people are far too poor to afford such expenses. All One People helps bridge that gap so students with potential and desire to move forward can do so. The people of this great community have also made it possible to

MT. PLEASANT—City council members heard a report by Shane Ward, power department supervisor, that led the council to lift a solar power moratorium that had been effect for many years in the Nov. 13 meeting. Ward gave a power point presentation that outlined steps to be taken by both residents and businesses that wish to connect solar power to the city power grid. Ward reported both businesses and residents must fill out applications and pay processing fees that amount to $450 for residents and $750 for businesses. He reported those selling excess solar power to the city would receive $.05 per kilowatt now, but the amount could change in the future. Council members unanimously passed the motion to lift the moratorium. New road lighting Ward also reported to the council plans to replace current lighting on Main and State Streets with new LED lights. He said although upfront costs for the new lights is expensive, new lights have the potential of saving over $1,100 annually in power consumption. Ward said the new lights have no mercury or lead and are programmable, which means lights can be focused to where it is needed, and will improve safety. Wasatch Academy Representatives from Wasatch Academy approached the council to ask to rename 100 North to Championship Lane, which is the street next to the State Street Gym that Wasatch Academy uses for their basketball program. Paul Applegarth said that Wasatch would bear the cost and would also like to add six banners in front of the gym. The council took no action but Shane Ward, power supervisor, said the entity would have to get permission from the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) before going any further. The basketball program at Wasatch is currently ranked 10th in the nation and all senior players have Division One offers. One player has 14 offers. The Deseret News plans to broadcast all home games.
