PREP BOYS BASKETBALL

Wasatch Academy’s Hickman a candidate for All-American team

December Musings

ere we are — right in the thick of December 2020. We’ve had Pearl Harbor Day, Hanukkah ends Friday evening, the official first day of winter is this coming Monday, and — of course, Christmas is just around the corner. 2020 is quickly coming to a close. Wow! What a year it’s been. I hope you’re like me and trying to be optimistic for 2021. 2020 in Sanpete has seemed weird this year. Pandemic aside, I’m talking mainly about the weather. I do know people who think Sanpete is just plain weird — all the time — period. And, I suppose the weather is weird every year too. It’s been a dry year, but we finally got a little snow. Mother Nature could have given us the precipitation in July, but I guess we’ll take it when she gives it to us. We drove up into the mountains last Saturday. Our choice of roads was passable. We only had one minor heart attack moment. Sometimes the snow disguises where the edge of the road is located. My son and daughter in law were down from the city and we were on a hunt for their Christmas tree. It would, of course, have been easier to go get one before the snow storm, but not as interesting. The air was clear and cold. The snowy views were great. And, the trees were already flocked — at least temporarily. Amazingly, we found the “perfect tree” in record short time. We didn’t have the risky maneuver of getting it across the creek as in some years. The dogs didn’t get lost or wet. I didn’t faint, have a stroke, or have to be carried back to the vehicle. It was phenomenal. We got back into town in time to prepare dinner and celebrate a version of an early birthday for my son. His birthday is on the 24th. He was born at 11:11pm on Christmas Eve. The food and company were great. However, People for the Ethical Treat-

ment of Animals (PETA) probably would not have approved of the meal. I “took the bull by the horns” and grilled ribeye steaks for dinner. You may have heard that PETA wants us to change some of the sayings we use when referring to animals. “Taking the bull by the horns” should now be “taking the rose by the thorns.” The new versions are considered “helpful” while the old versions are labeled “harmful.” Here’s a few more: Harmful: Ants in your pants. Helpful: Pepper in your pants. Harmful: On a wild goose chase. Helpful: Out chasing rainbows. Harmful: Put all your eggs in one basket. Helpful: Put all your berries in one bowl. Harmful: Killing two birds with one stone. Helpful: Feeding two birds with one scone. There’s a whole list of these substitute sayings that will make our speech friendlier to the animal kingdom. PETA believes many of the original sayings fall into the same category as racist and homophobic speech. I’m not sure how quickly these proposed changes will catch on. I do have to say that I like scones though. I could have fed a couple of birds with the one that I got with my meal at The Satisfied Ewe café in Ephraim not too long ago. As I mentioned earlier, Christmas is fast approaching. It’s amazing how quickly it comes. I hope we all find ways to help each other enjoy the season. There are many who need a little extra boost this time of year in one way or another. Let’s remember them. The Christmas season motivates good behavior in many people. Sanpeters are good “Christmas Spirit” folks. Many of us who don’t consciously think much about it other times of the year, attempt to turn the spirit of love, peace and good will up a notch at Christmastime. I admit that it’s hard work

The Pyramid

Sports Illustrated recently released its candidates for the 2021 SI All-American high school basketball team and Mt. Pleasant’s own Nolan Hickman found himself as the only player from Utah on the list. The 6-foot-2 senior point guard from Wasatch Academy announced his commitment to Kentucky in August, becoming the first player to join the Wildcats’ 2021 recruiting class and now he’s a projected All-American. Hickman, a four star recruit, is currently averaging just shy of 14 points per game for

the 8-0 Wasatch Academy basketball team. “Hickman is a heady point guard who knows how to run a team, but doubles as a legit scoring threat from all three levels,” said Sports Illustrated’s recruiting profile on Hickman. “He’s also a tough, gritty defender who pesters the opposition all over the floor. That combination will enable him to make an immediate impact at the next level.” The profile also went into Hickman’s poise on the floor as a guard who can run the offense, a player who has a high basketball IQ and a guard who involves his teammates while scoring at will.

As for Hickman’s commitment, he will be headed to a program well established as a powerhouse for NBA talent. The Wildcats have turned out some of the top talent in the NBA, including Anthony Davis, John Wall, Devin Booker, Karl Anthony-Towns and more. With six straight NCAA tournament appearances and eight NCAA Championships, the most recent coming in 2012, Hickman is headed to a program built to develop NBA level talent. “Their ultimate pitch to me was that Please see HICKMAN, Page A7

OGDEN — Douglas Schiess of Manti graduated and has earned an associate degree in Manufacturing Engineering Technology from Weber State University. The historic class of 2020 includes more than 2,198 students who applied for December’s graduation. “It’s significant because it will give me the motivation to push through my next two years and finish my bachelor’s degree,” said Schiess. Degrees awarded in fall 2020 included 91 master’s, 964 bachelor’s, 1,030 associate, and 113 certificates, including graduate certificates. “The graduating class of 2020 will be forever remembered for their determination to achieve their academic goals during a time of historic turmoil,” said WSU President Brad Mortensen. “I applaud their tenacity and perseverance and know they will use these strengths as they continue to lead and succeed.” During fall semester, 30% of Weber State classes had some on-campus component — 11% of those completely face to face — another 11% offered individualized instruction, including clinical lab supervision. The remainder of courses were taught using virtual and online methods.

Born in Moroni, Utah on April 16, 1928 to Foris Hyde and Carmen Johansen Blackburn, Ardys was the youngest of three children. Ardys was a graduate of Moroni High School. She married the love of her life, Louis Dwane Tidwell, in the Manti Temple on December 27, 1945. Together they loved and raised six children. Ardys was a faithful and devout member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and enjoyed numerous church callings. She was also a member of the Chalise Club. She and Dwane shared their beautiful voices in many ways, often paying tributes at funeral services and church functions. Ardys loved singing with ladies in quartets, blending their beautiful voices. She loved singing to her grandkids and had a silly song for every occasion. Ardys and Dwane began a business that became a family livelihood for each of their children and families, where they enjoyed working together for over 40 years. Ardys loved to garden and grew the most beautiful roses. She was an amazing cook and was famous for her delicious divinity. She made everyone feel loved and was affection-

ately known as everyone’s “Grandma Dolly”. Everyone was drawn to her kind heart and loving arms. All the lives she touched were changed for the better. Most of all, Ardys loved her family and was always there for all who needed her. Ardys was preceded in death by her husband Dwane, brothers Neil and Dee, sons Louis Creig and Bryant Evan, daughter Tamara Ardys Anderson and 9 grandchildren.

Kelly Jean Beck Seely 1963-2020

Our angel daughter, mother, sister, and aunt, Kelly Jean Beck Seely, after struggling with medical complications, returned to her Heavenly Father on December 10, 2020. She was born on May 6, 1963, in Nephi, UT to Jean and Jerry Beck of Fountain Green. She was a loving sister to her younger brothers, Kirt and Wade. She enjoyed growing up in Fountain Green, and attending the local schools. Kelly was a very bright, talented young woman. She was a happy child who was full of life, and her zeal for the beauty of the world and the outdoors never left her. We have many memorable experiences with her at birthday parties and family events. She loved camping, fishing, and shotgun shooting. She could outshoot most of the men in her family! She is a graduate of North Sanpete High School, where she was a straight A student, earning the honor of being the Sterling Scholar in Music. She played the piano beautifully, and also enjoyed playing the guitar. She stayed active in the North Sanpete drill team and loved clogging with the Levi and Lace cloggers. She had many talents, such as: crocheting, toll painting, counted crossstitch, sewing, cooking and crafts that sold early at boutiques. She enjoyed making items for her family and friends. She was a talented seamstress and cook, and her family is blessed to have items made by her and priceless recipe books from her. She is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and was active in several callings. She loved the scriptures, and had a strong testimony of the gospel. On September 9, 1983, she married Ronald Vincent Nielsen in the Manti, Utah LDS temple. Together they had four beautiful children; Emily Kei, Skyler Ronald, Crystal Jean, April Kelly, and a granddaughter, Abagail May Nielsen. They later divorced. Later in life she married Ken Jay Seely, on

June 10, 2016 in Manti, Utah. Ken has never left her side and they loved each other dearly. She gained a step-daughter, Kim Seely Jackman, and a grandson, Kodey Jackman, when she married Ken. She was devoted to her children and family. We all loved Kelly dearly and she will be deeply missed. We know that she is in a better place and pain free at last which is comforting. We all look forward to the day that we will be reunited with her and be an eternal family. Kelly is survived by her husband Ken Seely of Manti, parents Jean and Jerry Beck of Fountain Green, two brothers Kirt Beck (Roger Crandy) of Anchorage Alaska, and Wade (Judy) Beck of Fountain Green, her children Emily, Skyler, Crystal (Brady) Robinson, April, and granddaughter Abigail, her step-daughter; Kim Jackman, and step-grandson; Kodey Jackman. Kelly is preceded in death by her grandparents; Lyman and Esther Beck, Edna and Grant Brotherson, and a stepson, Roy Dell Seely, . A small funeral service for family and close friends will be on Saturday, December 19, at 12:00 pm in the Fountain Green LDS Chapel. A viewing will be held on Friday, December 18, from 6:00 — 8:00 p.m. at the Rasmussen Mortuary in Mt. Pleasant. The family has requested that everyone wear masks and practice social distancing during this time. Interment will be at the Fountain Green City. Online condolences at rasmussenmotuary.com

1931-2020

With mixed emotions, we announce the passing of our father, grandfather, and brother — Duane Marsh. Duane died on December 14, 2020 surrounded by family at his home in Fountain Green, UT. He was 89. Duane was born in Salt Lake City, UT on September 29, 1931, to Gordon and Bula (Jacobs) Marsh. He was the first of ten living children born to Gordon and Bula. Duane is survived by his four children: Aron Marsh of Maricopa, AZ; Michelle Walker (Jeff) of Fountain Green , UT; Kelly Campbell (Trevin) of Colorado Springs, CO; Spencer Marsh (Laurey) of Grand Junction, CO. Duane is also survived by 14 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. Duane is preceded in death by his parents, his dear wife Linda, and his great-grandchild Tytan Walker. Duane served honorably in the US Air Force, was a farmer, a rancher, a machinist, a gunsmith, an inventor, a commercial pilot, a college instructor, a business owner, a welder, a truck driver, a classical singer, a guitar player, a storyteller, a come-

dian, and probably a hundred other things. Of the many accomplishments of Duane, he would wish that we first speak of his membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and his abiding faith in our Savior, Jesus Christ. Later in life, along with his wife Linda, he served two temple missions in Palmyra / Buffalo, NY, and Aba, Nigeria. He and Linda also served together in the Denver, CO, Vernal, UT, and Manti, UT temples. He often expressed his guiding principles in life as being “Honest, True and Faithful.” From that

foundation, he credits all of his many successes and accomplishments. Secondly, he would wish that we speak of his cherished 60+ year love affair with the most beautiful woman ever, both inside and out, his beloved wife, Linda as well as his dedication to his family. He lived his life as a faithful husband, father and grandfather. Three of his cherished career highlights were singing professionally as an opera singer, flying the Cheyenne II turboprop airplane as Chief Pilot for Jacobs Drilling, and his accomplishments as a gunsmith. As a singer, Duane sang as a Tenor with the Utah Symphony and Utah Valley Opera Association. He performed as “Goro” in Giacomo Puccini’s Madam Butterfly. In the concert version of Faust, he performed as “Faust.” As a pilot, he was asked to fly the Cheyenne II in the Grand Junction, Colorado Air show and performed an “Unrestricted Climb/pin-drop,” rising vertically after take off. As a gunsmith, Duane made a name for himself in the firearm industry as a co-creator

of the .454 revolver and the .454 Casull cartridge. Google his name: Duane marsh .454 Casull cartridge. This was evident on one of Duane’s excursions with his son, Aron, as they dropped into a gun store. Aron introduced Duane to the store owner saying,”This is Duane Marsh.” The owner, recognizing the name, was skeptical. “You’re Duane Marsh?” the owner asked. Duane produced his commercial pilot’s license as proof and the owner quickly changed his tune. He insisted he get a photo with the last living member of the trio that developed the .454 Casul cartridge in 1958. Duane Marsh will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him. Funeral Services will be held on Wednesday, 16 December 2020 at 1pm from the Rasmussen Mortuary, Mount Pleasant, Ut. Due to COVID19 precautions, the services will be live-streamed. The live-stream link and condolences will be found at rasmussenmortuary.com. Interment will be held at the Fountain Green, Utah Cemetery.

Hickman From A1

they wanted someone who was interested in Kentucky, someone who has been dreaming of coming to Kentucky for so long,” Hickman said in an interview with Kentucky Sports Radio. “They said they think of me as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander because of how he came up late on the scene, was high-rising. Right when they said that they really wanted me and Coach Cal showed serious interest in me, I felt like I was wanted, I was needed. It felt like the right fit for me.” In the same interview, Hickman went on to say that he is ready for the spotlight that comes with playing at Kentucky. Through Hickman’s experiences playing in the Nike EYBL against many of the top talents in the country, he should be ready to perform at the highest

T H E

level for the Wildcats. “I’m not just a point guard, I’m also a combo guard, I can play the one and the two,” Hickman said to Kentucky Sports Radio. “I’m a facilitator, I’m a scorer, I can pass it, I’m tall, I can play defense, I can get the ball off the glass for you, I can block a shot, I can hustle. I’m a really unique player, one of a kind in my eyes. I hope people see that when they see me for the first time.” The Wildcats are a young team this season, with only three upperclassmen, and have had their struggles to start the year with four straight hard fought losses. The Wildcats will no doubt benefit from Hickman, a 2021 All-American candidate, and his ability to control the pace of the game, run an offense and more. Wasatch Academy is set to take on Salem Hills in Mt. Pleasant on Tuesday at 7 p.m.

but it’s still applicable and good advice to all of us this Christmas Season. Here it is: “I have found it best to just be friends with everyone. People will often do dumb things, and you’ll have to forgive them — you just gotta love ‘em anyway.” (Kenyon Ogden) Certainly “He” who is the “reason for the season” would have us be friends to all. And forgiveness and love are what the season is all about. Enjoy these days running up to Christmas. — Merrill

We cherish their presence and their memories, and all the blessings that touch our hearts and spirits.
