North Bend Entertainers present 'A Christmas Carol' Chester FAIRVIEW-- The last two performances of Charles Dickens “A Christmas Carol” will be presented by the North Bend Entertainers at 7 p.m., Friday, Nov. 30 and Saturday, Dec. 1, at the Peterson Dance Hall, 65 South State, Fairview. Visit Facebook.com/NorthBendEntertainers for more information and ticket prices. Written and directed by Jason Quinn, Mt. Pleasant, the play's cast includes children and adults from all over north Sanpete County. The play begins on a cold and bleak Christmas Eve in London, seven years after the death of Ebenezer Scrooge's business partner, Jacob Marley. Scrooge, an old miser, hates Christmas and refuses an invitation to Christmas dinner from his nephew Fred. Scrooge turns away two missionaries who seek a donation from him in order to provide food and heating for the poor, and only grudgingly allows his overworked, underpaid clerk, Bob Cratchit, Christmas day off with pay to conform to the social custom. And this is just the beginning. Jason Quinn’s version of the play takes the original story by Charles
Dickens and gives it a comedic twist. Plus, traditional Christmas songs accompanied by a string quartet accent the scenes and give an old fashioned feel to the play. Charles Dickens, as the narrator, guides the audience along while telling the story of Ebenezer Scrooge and the visits of three spirits. Still, the transformation of Scrooge is central to the story. Dickens's biographer, Claire Tomalin, sees the conversion of Scrooge as carrying the Christian message that "even the worst of sinners may repent and become a good man.” About NBE North Bend Entertainers (NBE) is a non-profit community theatre organization. It began as a result of a need to save the Fairview Dance Hall. The three-fold purpose of North Bend Entertainers is (1) to raise funds to maintain the historic Peterson Dance Hall in Fairview as a theatrical showcase and a gathering place to benefit the entire community; (2) to provide a setting for local entertainers to showcase their talents; and (3) to provide quality entertainment at affordable prices Jason Quinn, Mt. Pleasant, as Bob Cratchit, tends to every need of the miserly for the community. Ebeneezer Scrooge, played by Eric Fossum, Milburn, in “A Christmas Carol”.

MT. PLEASANT-- What started as a sunny, but cold afternoon became a cold, winter night, but throngs of people, of all ages, joined in the downtown festivities for the Mt. Pleasant City Annual Christmas Lights Festival, complete with lighting ceremony, games, food and fun on Nov. 24. Fire barrels were stationed on the street and provided a quick warm-up for those who felt the chill. Families brought their children and listened to Christmas carols sung by Mt. Pleasant Elementary students under the direction of Linda Barker. Door prizes were won by several lucky recipients. It was fun to hear the lists of winners when called out by Miss Mt. Pleasant and her attendants. Several of the downtown businesses provided games and prizes to all who participated. The hay rides were a hit and those participating enjoyed singing Christmas carols
along the way. At least 1,500 people came for the event and many of them enjoyed the free hot chocolate and cookies. In fact, over 60 gallons of hot chocolate were consumed along with 1,300 Christmas tree cookies. Santa and Mrs. Claus arrived in a police vehicle with lights and sirens wailing with a long line of eager children waiting at the gazebo guarded by Santa’s elves. At dusk, Mayor Dan Anderson led the countdown, the street lights came on and the fireworks lit up the sky. Those who came hungry had choices for food. The Sanpete Pantry was offering pulled pork meals for sale and the Youth City Council was selling hot chili and scones. One of the visitors told of how he had considered staying home, due to the cold, to watch something on the Hallmark TV channel, but then decided that it would be more fun to be in a Hallmark activity than to just watch one.

collision disables vehicles CHESTER-- Two vehicles recently collided on a dark night in Chester. Fortunately no serious injuries were reported, but both vehicles were disabled. Corey Roddam, 30, Wales, driving his 2016 Ford Focus, with a passenger, Timothy Nancarrow, 44, St. George, was traveling eastbound on State Road 117 (SR-117) on Saturday, Nov. 24, at approximately 10:15 p.m. According to police reports, Roddam’s vehicle was approaching the intersection of SR-117 and SR-132, in Chester, where there is a stop sign for east and west bound traffic. Roddam’s vehicle slowed to make a right hand turn, but failed to come to a complete stop and entered the intersection making a wide right turn and crossing over into northbound traffic. Victor Tanon, 36, Pleasant Grove, driving a 2007 GMC C7500, truck, owned by Builder Service Group, Lindon, was traveling at the posted speed limit and entered the intersection at the same time Roddam’s vehicle was making the right hand turn. The truck collided with Roddam’s Ford Focus in an offset head on collision. The Ford Focus received severe damage to the front end of the vehicle. All airbags in the cab deployed. Roddam wore a seatbelt, but had minor injuries to his face and left hand from the airbags and a sprain to his right ankle from something in the interior of the vehicle. The passenger, Nancarrow, who advised he was wearing his seat belt, hit the top of his head on the windshield, scraping the top of his head. Roddam’s disabled vehicle was towed from the scene by Shep's Towing. The GMC truck received moderate damage to the driver side See COLLISION, PAGE 3
Ex-clerk of Fayette gets jail time MANTI—Tracy Kay Mellor, 63, ex-clerk of Fayette, was sentenced Nov. 21 in Sixth District Court to spend 45 days in jail and repay $153,390 in restitution that she had stolen from the small Sanpete County town of 250. Mellor admitted in court to three counts of misuse of public money, a third degree felony. She had written checks to a business, R&T Repair, owned by Mellor and her husband. Mellor had been originally charged with nine counts of misuse of public funds that had dated back almost a decade. Ultimately, she pleaded guilty to three counts as part of a plea bargain with prosecutors, due to the statute of limitations being expired on earlier allegations.

Multi-state outbreak of E. coli infections likely linked to romaine lettuce SALT LAKE CITY-- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is advising U.S. consumers not to eat any romaine lettuce, and retailers and restaurants should not serve or sell any, until further notice. Thirty-two people infected with the outbreak strain of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli O157:H7 have been reported from 11 states. There are currently no confirmed cases in Utah associated with this outbreak. The Utah Department of Agriculture and Food, Utah Department of Health, and other agencies are monitoring the situation and will provide updates as more information becomes available. Illnesses started on dates ranging from Oct. 8 to Oct. 31 and 13 people were hospitalized, including one person who developed hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a type of kidney failure. No deaths have been reported. The Public Health Agency of Canada has identified 18 ill people infected with the same DNA fingerprint of E. coli O157:H7 bacteria in two Canadian provinces: Ontario and Quebec. According to the CDC, consumers who have any type of romaine lettuce in their home should not eat it and should throw

This alert includes all types or uses of romaine lettuce, such as whole heads of romaine, hearts of romaine, and bags and boxes of precut lettuce, and salad mixes containing romaine, including baby romaine, spring mix, and Caesar salad. If it is unknown whether the lettuce is romaine or whether a salad mix contains romaine, do not eat it and throw it away. Wash and sanitize drawers or shelves in
refrigerators where romaine was stored. The CDC also advises people to contact their health care provider if they have symptoms of an E. coli infection, which can include diarrhea, often bloody; severe stomach cramps and vomiting. In addition, the CDC notes this about Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome: “About five to 10 percent of people who are diagnosed with STEC infection develop a potentially life-threatening complication known as hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). HUS develops about seven days after symptoms first appear, when diarrhea is improving.” “Clues that someone is developing HUS include decreased frequency of urination, feeling very tired, and losing pink color in cheeks and inside the lower eyelids. People with HUS should be hospitalized because their kidneys may stop working and they may develop other serious problems. Most people with HUS recover within a few weeks, but some suffer permanent damage or die.” For more information, visit the CDC alert page where much of this information originated at https://www.cdc.gov/ ecoli/2018/o157h7-11-18/index.html.
BYU, Manti-La Sal National Forest begin bee research MANTI-LA SAL NF-- Manti-La Sal National Forest and Brigham Young University (BYU) have been working together to design and implement a multi-year study to explore the community effects of honey bees on native pollinators in a tall-forb plant community. BYU will be evaluating the impact of introducing hives of honey bees on native bee community richness and abundance on the Wasatch Plateau of Central Utah. This study is a response to concern over colony collapse disorder (CCD) in honey bees. One factor thought to contribute to CCD is the occurrence of pesticides in the environment, especially from agricultural lands and urban landscapes. Since bees need natural floral resources with minimal exposure to agrochemicals and pollutants, National Forests could

bees are quite rare and may be susceptible to possible local and regional extinctions. To evaluate the impact of honey bees, the BYU team has selected 18 tall-forb sites across the Wasatch Plateau for the study. The sites were selected for their similarity in size and vegetative composition. All will be at an elevation of approximately 9,500-10,000 feet. Bee abundance and richness will be evaluated over a five-year period. The first year has yielded a bee compositional baseline. Honey bee hives were introduced to the plots this year and will continue for three more summers. This study could serve as a model for expected results for other mountain ranges in the Intermountain West. Lead investigators in the project are R.L. Johnson and V.J. Anderson.

Holiday get-away Warning: What follows is pretty much a personal travelogue – typically boring for many people. For Thanksgiving, we proved once again that you can get to anywhere in the world from right here in Sanpete. For quite a few years now, we have more often than not taken a little vacation over the Thanksgiving holiday time. I sometimes call it “gathering at home away from home.” I feel like we often get more family time when we’re away than when we stay. (Nice rhyme, huh?) I know the concept is not for everyone, but it’s worked quite well for us. As time has passed and the kids have grown up, we’ve had to adapt and change. But we still try to do some version of a vacation most years even if it’s just an overnight somewhere. Thanksgiving morning, we got up early and left Sanpete and headed for the city. We met our family members at the airport. Nine of us were waiting for a flight for our family vacation. Two had found a great deal and were waiting for their flight to do their own more extended vacation. So, this year, we had the whole family together for a Thanksgiving meal. It was breakfast for eleven. It was at the Gordon Biersch Restaurant upstairs in Terminal 1 at the Salt Lake International Airport. We just waltzed in and they were able to put us in a private room. I had a California omelet, which had roast turkey in it. That would be my turkey for the day. Our server was Sanya from Bosnia. She was great and took wonderful care of us for our Thanksgiving meal. When it was time to leave, she took our family picture for us. (Have you noticed how much difference a pleasant person can make for any experience in life?) We were then off on our adventure. We were flying to San Francisco and then driving to Eureka. Our goal: To experience California Redwood Country. The youngest member of our travelling party was my three-year-old granddaughter Scout. Her excitement for the trip was high. The main reason for excitement was that there would be a swimming pool at the motel where we were staying. She was seated behind me on the plane. As we taxied for quite a long time to get to the takeoff runway, I heard her little voice ask, “Are we almost to the place with the swimming pool now?” The “are we there yet? syndrome” is not a myth. The question would be asked many times before the day was done. However, the patience of our young (and old) travelers was remarkable. By the time we arrived in San Francisco, got cars rented and made the long drive to Eureka, it was time for our Thanksgiving dinner. Swimming time had to be delayed because we were
starving. We dined at a famous restaurant in Eureka. Maybe you’ve heard of it – Dennys! I don’t think the Pilgrims ate salmon at their harvest meal with the Native Americans. But that’s what I had. Others in our group had the traditional turkey dinner. So, poor little Scout had to wait until 9:00 p.m., Thanksgiving night before we got to the indoor pool at the motel. She was as enthusiastic about swimming then, as she had been twelve hours earlier. We had a good splash until the pool closed at 10 o’clock. The next couple of days we spent exploring the Redwood National Park and Redwood California State Parks. Some rain on Friday didn’t dampen our spirits. The occasional rain and mist in some ways gave us a fun experience. Rain ponchos were donned and we pushed through with our treks through the “tourist trappy” privately owned “Trees of Mystery” and other areas of old growth redwood trees. Referring to “Trees of Mystery” as a tourist trap sounds derogatory. In fact, I was impressed with the place. The gondola ride was exciting. The trails have amazing trees. The Tall Tales Trail has stories and woodcarvings – including “Big Foot.” In the gift shop, the best thing was meeting the woman who makes really good fudge. I sampled several and bought some. Lemon fudge was my favorite. Here’s five fun facts about the Coast Redwood trees: 1) Some of them are really old. The oldest is around 2,200 years old. 2) They’re really tall. The locations of the very tallest trees (nearly 380 feet) are kept secret. Sadly, people can’t be trusted because of fears of vandalism. On the other hand, we went to a “drive through tree” on private property and there was a $5.00 per car “self-service” box for payment. The sign said, “We Trust You.” 3) Redwoods have really thick bark. It can be up to 12 inches thick and makes the trees highly survivable from fire. The bark doesn’t have flammable resin and pitch like pine trees have. 4) There was a time when San Francisco building codes required that new buildings have foundations of redwood. Redwood is very resistant to insects, fire and rot. 5) There is only about 4% of the original old growth redwood forests left remaining. Most of the redwoods are young. We had a good Thanksgiving. We experienced a phenomenal part of our country. We learned a few things. We had good family time. And we were able to go swimming. It was good to get away. But it was also good to get home to Sanpete. We can now look forward to the next holiday – the one that requires me to risk my life on my roof putting lights up.

Norbest releases 100 turkeys to activists Direct Action Everywhere MORONI, UT-- In a heartwarming turn-of-events captured on Facebook livestream, hundreds of activists with the grassroots animal rights network Direct Action Everywhere (DxE), including renowned actor James Cromwell and two activists awaiting felony trial for investigating turkey farming giant Norbest, LLC, received 100 turkeys in direct collaboration with Rick Pitman, who is the owner of Norbest on Nov. 19. This turkey exchange was the result of an unlikely friendship between Pitman and Wayne Hsiung, founder of DxE and one of the felony defendants. Rather than continuing their fight in court, Pitman has
stated that he does not support the charges, and the two sides decided on a dramatically different path of generosity just before Thanksgiving. Hsiung, Cromwell, and hundreds of animal rights supporters traveled to Norbest to provide vegan food to the employees of the plant and other locals. Pitman, in turn, released 100 turkeys to the activists in an act of Thanksgiving mercy. The birds were immediately taken to local sanctuaries, where they can live out their lives in happy families. Hsiung and Pitman hope to show that even adversaries can show Actor James Cromwell (center) holds one of 100 turkeys on Nov. compassion this holiday sea- 19 alongside Wayne Hsiung, DxE founder and Norbest defendant. son.

“The number of bears doesn’t fluctuate much from year to year,” he says, “so it makes sense to keep the rules consistent and not change them every year. If we leave the rules in place for three years, we’ll end up with a better, long-term picture of how the state’s bear population is responding to the hunting rules.” Adding more spot-andstalk hunts will give more hunters a chance to hunt bears
while increasing the number of bears taken only slightly. “The success rate on spotand-stalk hunts is similar to archery hunting for deer,” DeBloois says. “We can offer more opportunities to spotand-stalk because the number of bears taken with spot-andstalk is lower than other types of hunting.” To see all of the biologists’ black bear hunting proposSee BEAR HUNT, page 5

Email should be directed to the people on the RAC who represent personal interests best. Spot-and-stalk hunts The number of people who want to hunt bears in Utah has far outpaced the number of bear hunting permits available. To give more people a chance to hunt bears, DWR biologists are recommending more spotand-stalk hunts. So far, spot-and-stalk hunts have been held mostly on the LaSal and San Juan units in southeastern Utah. These units have the highest density of bears in the state. “Despite the high bear numbers,” DeBloois says, “only 10 to 15 percent of those who spot-and-stalk on the units take a bear. The success rate is similar to archery big game hunting. And those two units have a lot of bears. The success rate might be lower on units with fewer bears.” DWR biologists recommend holding spot-and-stalk hunts
on 11 units. On three of the units, an unlimited number of permits would be sold, but the hunt would end as soon as three bears are taken on each of the units. On the remaining units, a limited number of permits—a total of 205—would be offered. Based on a 10 percent success rate, DWR biologists estimate that less than 25 bears would be taken during the spot-andstalk hunts. During spot-and-stalk hunts, hunters can’t pursue bears with hounds or use bait to lure bears in. Instead, the hunter walks through the forest, hoping to spot a bear that they can stalk and take. Keeping rules same Not changing the hunting rules every year would help biologists better determine the effect the rules are having on the bear population. DeBloois says bears live for a relatively long period of time, have fairly low reproductive rates and aren’t affected much by severe changes in weather. Because the number of bears doesn’t fluctuate much, DeBloois says changing the hunting rules every year can
actually be counterproductive to managing black bears effectively. “A better way to determine how hunting rules are affecting a bear population is to leave the rules in place for a longer period of time,” he says. “Keeping the hunting rules and permit numbers consistent will provide us with a better, longterm picture of how the rules are affecting the population. That, in turn, will give us better long-term data that will help us draft the recommendations we present in 2021.” If something out of the ordinary happens to the bear population before the threeyear period is over, a couple of ‘safety valves’ are in place that allow immediate changes to be made. “One is to meet with the Wildlife Board, explain the situation and ask the board to make some changes,” DeBloois says. “If we’re facing a critical situation, the director of the DWR has the authority to close hunts down. So, not changing the rules for three years doesn’t mean changes can’t be made if something drastic happens to the population.”

Fewer cottontail rabbits, hunt in progress SALT LAKE CITY-- Cottontail rabbits have done really well in Utah over the past few years. It was only a matter of time, though, before the ups and downs of a 10-year population cycle caught up to them. This year, there are about half as many rabbits in Utah as there were in 2017. And the current number is a tenth of what it was when the population experienced its latest peak in 2015. Fewer rabbits doesn’t mean hunters shouldn’t head afield and hunt them, though. Jason Robinson, upland game coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR), says there are still plenty of rabbits in Utah. “You’ll likely have to walk farther and cover more ground to find them,” he says, “but they’re there.” Utah’s cottontail rabbit hunt runs until Feb. 28, 2019. Robinson says the cottontail rabbit hunt is a great hunt for hunters of all ages and abilities, including those who are just getting started. “The terrain rabbits live in is usually relatively flat and easy to walk through,” he says. “The equipment needed is basic, light and easy to carry. And—if you do get into a bunch of rabbits— you’ll get lots of shots.” To see where rabbits live in Utah, and learn more about them, read pages 38 and 48 of the 2018 – 2019 Utah Upland Game Guidebook. The free guidebook is available at www.wildlife.utah.gov/ guidebooks Biologists aren’t sure why it occurs, but cottontail rabbits across the country experience a 10-year population cycle. After bottoming out, the number of cottontails will climb slowly for about five years. Once the population peaks in number, it will usually stay close to the peak for about three years. Then, numbers will abruptly fall for a couple of years until the population bottoms out and numbers start to climb again. From late July through mid-August, DWR biologists count rabbits along 15 survey
routes in the state. Based on what the biologists saw, four counties—Duchesne and Uintah in northeastern Utah, and Emery and Iron in southern Utah—are the areas with the highest number of rabbits this year. “Rabbit numbers were best in those four counties,” Robinson says. “With the exception of Iron County— where rabbits are doing well—the western half of Utah was the area where biologists saw the fewest rabbits.” Finding rabbits To find rabbits in lower elevations, look in the bottom of valleys that have tall sagebrush and deep, loose soil that have burrows the rabbits can hide in. If located in mid-elevation areas, look for hillsides that have large boulders, thick sagebrush or other thick vegetation in which the rabbits can hide. Also, consider hunting early in the morning and late in the afternoon. “That’s when rabbits are away from their resting areas and are the most active,” Robinson says. “Early morning and late in the afternoon are prime times for rabbits to feed.” Hunting tips Shotguns and small-caliber rifles, such as the .22, are perfect firearms to hunt rabbits with. It’s critical to hunt early in the morning or late in the afternoon, when rabbits are the most active and moving around. If hunting with a small-caliber rifle, finding a spot that’s higher in elevation than the area around it—and then sitting down, scanning the surrounding area and waiting for rabbits to appear—is a good choice. If planning to walk and flush rabbits out of cover, a shotgun is the best firearm to use. If hunting with one or more people, form a line—spacing each hunter about 20 yards apart—and then walk through areas that look promising. Be ready to click the gun’s safety off: a flushing rabbit doesn’t give anyone much time to shoot!
