MT. PLEASANT — For more than 20 years there has been an effort to make it possible for a swimming pool in Mt. Pleasant, the dream is now a reality. Everyone is welcome to attend the New Year, New Pool opening to be held Monday, Jan. 1, 2018, from 12 noon-10 p.m., at the new Mt. Pleasant City Aquatic Center, 76 East Main.

There will be free swimming from 12 noon-10 p.m., water aerobics from 1-1:30 p.m., and again from 7-7:30 p.m. A raffle with all kinds of prizes will take place. Prizes will include a one-year membership and pool toys, etc.

The new modern enclosed swimming pool and aquatic center has been designed to serve each and every citizen from toddlers, to seniors. North Sanpete High School and Wasatch Academy will also be using the facility for competitive swimming.

After the pool opening is over, there will be fees to use the pool and the fees vary depending on a number of factors. Those include the user’s age, whether the user is a Mt. Pleasant City resident or non-resident, and whether a pass has been pur-

chased. Those who are paying the aquatic center tax will be considered residents.

Those who are considered residents and wish to use the pool will need to purchase a resident card for $1 at Mt. Pleasant City Hall, 115 West Main. The resident card will need to be presented at the pool for discounted entry pricing at every visit.

Those who do not have a resident card will pay non-resident prices to enter the pool.

The benefits to seniors and special needs citizens in the area are enormous. They will now benefit from the mobility a pool affords as they work with local physical therapists in a year-round heated pool.

There is much pleasure in seeing a severely disabled person enjoy the freedom their body feels in the water. Those persons who witness that excitement may well find themselves with a smile and a tear. Disabled persons in the area will now have access to this experience year-round.

What about just good old family fun? Families can now come together to have a wide variety of water fun. There is a side pool with a zero depth-entry for handicap accessibility, and space for families and young children. The main pool also

Mt. Pleasant City Aquatic Center Manager Britanny Adams recently announced that on Monday, Jan. 1, 2018, a New Year, New Pool event will take place, from 12 noon-10 p.m., at the new Mt. Pleasant City Aquatic Center, 76 East Main. All are welcome to come and swim free in the new pool. There will be prize drawings and fun for all. (Photo courtesy of Laurie Hansen) includes a slide and plans include an additional small slide.

The pool has six lanes of competition space, with an approximate four-foot depth and a deep end. The pool depth is important, because it is deeper than most municipal or school competition swimming pools. This will lead to faster times during swim meets, which in turn will make the pool very popular for swim meets.

There are three large garage type doors which face north towards the existing outdoor splash pad, so those

doors can be open in the summer for an outdoor-pool feel.

Mt. Pleasant City Aquatic Center Manager Britanny Adams is planning a variety of activities that will surely appeal to everyone. Plans for the swimming pool facility may include water polo, senior aerobics, low impact water therapy, youth competitive swim teams, swimming lessons for beginners to advanced, toddler, Mommy and Me, and adult classes.

There are several additional Please see POOL, Page A2

MT. PLEASANT — North Sanpete High School recently completed their Sub-for-Santa drive with the help of many donors and the service of the student body officers, the student council, and the student body. This year $4,000 was donated to the high school’s drive, which is more money than has been raised for several years.

The money was used to purchase 12 shopping carts full of toys which were then taken to a large warehouse in Ephraim where the U.S. Marines were set up for the Toys for Tots distribution.

Due to the service and efforts of the North Sanpete Hawk student body, this Christmas season will be much brighter here in Sanpete Valley.

POOL From A1

reasons the new pool will benefit the North Sanpete area.

Consider all of the following reasons: • Area residents will no longer have to drive to Ephraim for year-round swimming and it is no longer necessary to drive to Manti for summer swimming. All the North Sanpete communities can come to Mt. Pleasant for all-season swimming fun.

• When grandchildren come to visit, the year-round swimming access will now provide them a new activity. It won’t matter what time of year, the pool will be ready.

• Family reunions may be

more fun when swimming in the Mt. Pleasant pool is added to the agenda. The pool adds one more amenity to the area for family fun throughout the year.

• Teen swimming programs offered through the new pool facility will entice participation. Having access to the year-round swimming pool and aquatic center will give teens a new activity to enjoy when they are bored.

• Users of the pool will enjoy health benefits. According to Tesco Living, “There are eight reasons why swimming is the best way to lose weight and get fit quickly.

Swimming helps to manage weight, reduces stress levels and raises self-esteem, boosts

moods, strengthens muscles, is a low-impact exercise, improves sleep, is sweat-free, and lowers disease risk.”

• Real estate values should be positively impacted because persons who are considering selling a home will notice an increase in value because the pool gives a positive incentive to potential buyers and could strengthen interest in the area.

In addition, buyers of properties are seeking amenities that give them a good reason to buy. Having access to a yearround swimming pool is a great addition to the area.

• Every year Mt. Pleasant City celebrates Independence Day with Hub City Days. The new pool adds an additional

mineral estate throughout the nation.

The agency’s mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.

Diverse activities authorized on these lands generated $75 billion in sales of goods and services throughout the American economy in fiscal year 2016—more than any other agency in the Department of the Interior.

These activities supported more than 372,000 jobs.

venue for activities to take place. Those additional activities will perhaps inspire the normal influx of visitors to spend more time here.

Visitors who come for the Fourth of July parade may stay longer or come back more often because they can stay to enjoy the water fun.

• Additional visitors to the area will bring more revenue into the city while giving visitors a pleasurable experience.

Tourists will feel the country charm of Mt. Pleasant City.

The increased revenue will benefit the area residents via community projects and repairs.

• And besides, water fun never gets old, no matter what age the person.

Last minute Christmas prep (for guys) If you’re totally ready for Christmas (and you should be), there is no need for you to read further. What follows is meant mainly for the ultimate Christmas procrastinator. I know that there are a few of you out there. This topic has urgency right now, as it’s just a matter of a precious few short days left before the big day.

I sometimes like to think that I’m unique in some categories. But I suspect that in the category of Christmas preparation “putter offer, ” I have some company.

I’ve discovered a helpful strategy or two over the years, which come in handy in “sneaking up in the outside lane” and “crossing the finish line” of Christmas morning.

So as a public service, I’m going to share a secret or two here now.

Obviously, the biggest problem with the procrastination of Christmas preparation is the gift giving issue.

Here’s my number one tip in this regard. Do not, I repeat, do not admit that you haven’t done any Christmas shopping whatsoever.

This is particularly important for spouses or significant others to remember.

And when I say spouse and significant other, I’m almost certainly talking to the guys.

So guys – when your partner asks if you’ve done your Christmas shopping, the best course of action is to get a “twinkle in your eye” (if you can manage that – spend some time practicing in front of a mirror). Once your eye is twinkling, say, “Well dear, let’s just say that I hope I haven’t overdone it this year.”

This answer has a two pronged effect on your partner: #1) It baffles them into actually wondering if you, for once, have actually planned ahead for Christmas; and #2) It makes them wonder if maybe they should go out and buy that shotgun you’ve been talking about.

The only other acceptable answer to the “have you done your shopping” question is, “Well – umm – due to the sensitive nature of the situation relating to your question, which you must realize is connected to family se-

Prices for Salina Producers Livestock Auction held Dec. 12 are as follows: Receipts: 1,581; last week: 1,579; feeder steers and heifers: mixed; Holstein steers: mostly steady; slaughter cows: 1.002.00 higher; slaughter bulls: 2.00-3.00 higher.

Feeder steers: 200-300 lbs 180.00-220.00; 300-400 lbs 172.50-208.00; 400-500 lbs 165.00-197.00; 500-600 lbs 155.00-180.00; 600-700 lbs 141.00-170.00; 700-800 lbs 135.00-163.00; 800-900 lbs 128.00-147.50; 900-1000 lbs 119.00-133.00.

curity issues, I’m sorry that I’m going to have to defer answering for the time being until I feel that adequate clearance is achieved by my people “on the ground.”

Of course, having set up the subterfuge and confusion is only “Part 1.” “Part 2” is the unavoidable fact that one actually has to shop and obtain a gift for giving. It’s important to be nonchalant at this point. Don’t show your true anxiety as you anguish over what the heck gift you’re going to find to be the “prepared gift giver.”

Don’t panic. This part really isn’t that hard. The answer? Two words: Newspaper Advertisements. Get a hold of the paper and scan the ads.

Merchants have stuff they want to sell. You want to buy stuff. What an ideal scenario.

Now, as difficult as it may be, try to “be the person” that you’re buying for. Close your eyes, breathe in, and breathe out. Visualize. Be that person. Before long, you’ll see advertisements for several items that will fit the bill.

Now, hurry and sneak out on some pretense. If you’re LDS, say that you’re going home teaching. If you’re not LDS, say that some Mormon guy wants you to help move somebody’s food storage out of a basement into a U-Haul truck. That’s not out of the ordinary and it’ll buy you plenty of time.

If you need to go out of town for the shopping, say that you have to go to a junkyard to find a replacement widget arm for the maniform on one of your vehicles. (If you’re going to tell a story, you may as well make it good) Don’t fiddle around too long at the store. Make the purchase of the gift quickly and have them gift wrap it.

No fuss – no muss. Get the present into a hiding place in the house under the cover of darkness. Mission accomplished.

People love it when the gift they’ve been given has been well thought out and planned especially for them. If you use the methods described here, you’ll have done just that. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

NS Hawks receive post-season honors Ence wins 50-meter BRAD BENTLEY

Pyramid Sports

MT. PLEASANT — With the end of the fall sports season, and a final tally of votes and results, more accolades rained down on North Sanpete’s athletes. Athletes from soccer, cross-country, volleyball, and football were all recognized as outstanding athletes.

In soccer, the Lady Hawks made it to the state semifinals of 3A for the first time ever and there were a lot of rewards to go around. Junior Sopie Duijn, a transfer student from the Netherlands, was voted onto the second team for her defensive work.

Joining Duijn as honorable mentions were, forward Emi Palmer; sophomore midfielder Savannah Ence; defender Sarah Applegarth; and goalkeeper Halli Bennet.

The Lady Hawks had just one varsity runner for cross-country and that was junior Linzy Flinders. Flinders, who was also a main varsity player on the volleyball team, took 10th at region and then bettered her time and finished in 14th place at state to finish with second team all-state honors.

The North Sanpete volleyball team took a very strong first place in Region 15 and finished the year with a second place finish at state. For their strong finish, several members of the team received recognition.

Team captain Shelby Ison, was the Region 15 MVP and also the Defensive Player of the year. She was voted a Utah Valley Coaches Association (UVCA) Senior All-

Star and was on the All-Academic Team.

She was also voted on to the Deseret News 1st Team All-State.

Madisyn Allred also received recognition and was placed on the Region 15 All-Region 1st team, was a UVCA Senior All-Star and was on the All-Academic Team. Allred also received the high honor of being voted onto the Deseret News 1st team All-state.

Teammate Allyssa Ericksen was a Region 15 All-Region Player and was a member of the UVCA Senior All-Star team and the All-Academic squad. She was voted third team All-State as the team’s setter.

Kelsie Nielson received accolades on the UVCA All-Academic team and Kelby Henry was a Deseret News All-State Honorable Mention.

Even though the football team didn’t have the season it hoped for, several athletes were recognized for their outstanding achievements.

On the second team, junior McCade Poulson was recognized for his work on the offensive line. Although considered to be undersized for the position, Poulson was known as a tough competitor and quick enough to beat opponents to the punch.

Senior Eddie Davis who was a Hawk star on both sides of the ball, was also put on the second team as a linebacker. Davis was one of the top tacklers for North Sanpete for his quickness and tenacity.

On the Honorable Mention team, junior Dustin Ashworth and senior Igacio Vazquez, both on the offensive line.

MT. PLEASANT — The first-ever event to take place in the brand new Mt. Pleasant Aquatic Center, was held last Wednesday, Dec. 13, when the North Sanpete Hawks, Wasatch Academy Tigers, Gunnison Valley, and Carbon high school swim teams were welcomed to the competition.

The Hawk swimmers have been a mostly inexperienced team, but have been learning a lot. At the beginning of the season, several Hawk athletes would be disqualified in each meet simply because they weren’t doing the strokes correctly. That is a rare occurrence now.

One of the best swimmers for the North Sanpete Hawks this year has been senior Trevor Ence. Ence anchors a couple of the relay teams as well as participating in individual events. Ence shined during this first home meet by winning the 50-meter freestyle in a great rush to the finish.

Anyone that gets a chance go and see these athletes compete, should attend. The team members are always cheering for each other and have a great time.

While the four-man team finished third in this race, Ence went on to take first place in the 50-meter freestyle later in the competition. (Photo courtesy of Brad Bentley) pool is 25 meters long and wide enough for six lanes and professional timing equipment is used for the swim meets. The pool also includes a smaller pool on one side for the younger kids to play in as well.

There is a slide that curls in to the north end of the pool and plans include adding an additional smaller slide. While not yet open to the public, the new facility will open its doors Jan. 1, at noon, with a New Year, New Pool party.

Lady Hawks lose three road games BRAD BENTLEY

Pyramid Sports

Richfield- The Lady Hawk basketball team began this week with three games in its future and hoping to turn one of them into the first win of the season for North Sanpete.

While the players played hard, they just didn’t have enough to get over the hump and lost to Wasatch Academy, Enterprise and Canyon View.

A few years ago, the Wasatch Academy Tigers were a mediocre team at best. The coaches did what they could with the students that were on campus, and a big push was simply to introduce the athletes to the game. While some might have had some playing experience, others were learning the sport

for the first time.

That is no longer the case for the private school located in rural Sanpete County. The Tigers now have several strong players and are fielding a squad that should be competing in the state tournament in February.

Playing on their home court, which many years and many refurbishings ago belonged to North Sanpete High School, the Wasatch Academy players came out strong. Hot shooting put the Lady Tigers ahead early, and they never looked back.

Especially outstanding for the Tigers was Manuely de Oliveira, who by herself outscored North Sanpete, had 21 points in the contest. De Oliveira was joined in double

figures by Nataly Dunka who had 13 points, while nine Tigers scored in the game. For the Hawks, Halli Bennet dropped in eight points from the paint.

Wasatch jumped out 14-2 in the first quarter and never trailed in the game. By the end of the second quarter, that margin had ballooned to 3010. North Sanpete struggled to find a way through the Tiger defense and scored only two points again in the third quarter and ended up losing 60-18.

North Sanpete then went to the Sevier Valley Center in Richfield to play in the Central Utah Preview. The first opponent for the Lady Hawks was a very tenacious Enterprise who came into the game sporting a 5-2 record and had wins over

much larger schools like Snow Canyon, Canyon View, and Cedar.

The Lady Hawks again gave up an early lead and then struggled to get back into the game. The Wolves ran out to a 19-4 advantage and kept up the pace, refusing to allow North Sanpete to score more than six points in any quarter.

Led by 13 points from top scorer, Ronnie Robinson, the Wolves increased the distance in every quarter. Nine points

by Lady Hawk, Anna Wright, led the way for North Sanpete, but just wasn’t enough to keep the Wolves at bay. Howling through the game, Enterprise won easily, 44-16.

Hoping to have better luck against the Falcons of Canyon

View, the Lady Hawks still struggled to get anything going on the offensive end of the court. While holding the Cedar City team to just 40 points is a good defensive effort, North Sanpete was only able to put 22 on the board.

The contest was close in the first period, and when the buzzer sounded to begin the second quarter, the Lady Hawks trailed by just three, 107. But behind balanced scoring from nine Canyon View players, none of which finished in double digits, the Falcons refused to let up.

North Sanpete was led in scoring by junior guard Tiffany Peckham, who had 8 points, and by junior center, Halli Bennet, who contributed six, but

Here’s hoping your holiday season is a whole lot of merry and bright! May your Christmas and the New Year deliver an abundance of health, happiness and good fortune to you and the ones you love.

the output just wasn’t enough.

Trailing 20-11 at the half, the Lady Hawks played great defense in the third stanza, holding Canyon View to just six points, but a 14-point quarter by the Falcons sealed the fate of North Sanpete who lost 40-22.

The Lady Hawks will stay on the road this week albeit just for one game. North Sanpete goes to Delta on Thursday, Dec. 21 to take on the Rabbits. Varsity game time is at 7 p.m. (Results not available at press time).

Coach Randi Griffiths will then take her team to Cedar City over the holiday break to play in three games at the Steve Hodson Cancer Classic. While there, the Lady Hawks will play against Cedar, Lincoln, NV; and North Sevier.

Hawk wrestlers continue to improve BRAD BENTLEY

Pyramid Sports

MANTI — While the North Sanpete Hawk wrestling team is young and inexperienced, they have worked hard since the beginning of November, and now the fruit of all of the hard work is beginning to show.

After dropping a dual meet to Richfield, the Hawk grapplers made a great showing at the Manti Holiday Classic, picking up a couple of dual wins, and having one of the best wrestlers in the tournament.

Richfield Wildcats Against the Wildcats in Richfield only two North Sanpete wrestlers won their matches, but there were several other close matches that could very well go the other direction next time, with a little more experience by the Hawks.

Winning their matches during the evening were junior Dalton Anderson, who pinned his opponent, and senior Keegan Eliason who also pinned his opponent.

Manti Hol iday Classic At the Manti Holiday Classic, Eliason, who has been stellar all year long, went undefeated for his second tournament in a row. After not losing a match previously in Juab, Eliason came back and took care of each of his foes in Manti.

Nearly matching Eliason’s efforts, and losing just one match each, were sophomore Luis Rodriguez, and junior Dalton Anderson who had another great outing.

The Hawk grapplers took care of Summit Academy by a score of 42-35, and also defeated Gunnison, 40-30. There were also a couple of other matches where the Hawks came close to getting wins, narrow defeats to Ben Lomond and Piute, both by scores of 48-36.

Head Coach Bryan Strain has had a large increase in wrestlers this season, and now, instead of having to drop matches by default because of not having athletes in those positions, he is seeing multiple possible wrestlers in several of the slots.

As these younger grapplers continue in the program, Strain feels he will see great results. “There were some great matches and this young team continues to improve match after match,” said Coach Bryan Strain.

Results from the Manti Holiday Classic are as follows: On Friday, during Match #1 Round 1, North Sanpete received a bye; in Match #2 Round 2, North Sanpete defeated Summit Academy 4235; in Match #3 Round 3, Carbon defeated North Sanpete

Pleasant Aquatic Center was recently used for the first-ever home swim meet when Wasatch Academy, Carbon, Gunnison Valley, and North Sanpete High Schools swim teams all met at the new center to compete. (Photo courtesy of Wasatch Academy Student Life Photographer Seisho So) North Sanpete Hawk senior Keegan Eliason was undefeated for his second wrestling tournament in a row. After winning in Juab, Eliason took care of each of his foes in the Manti Holiday Classic. (Photo courtesy of Lydia Miller) 51-15; in Match #4 Round 4, American Leadership Academy defeated North Sanpete 48-30; then in Match #5 Round 5, Ben Lomond defeated North Sanpete 48-36.

On Saturday, North Sanpete was guaranteed third place as Match #1 Round 1, Piute defeated North Sanpete 48-36; in Match #2 Round 2, Emery defeated North Sanpete 5416; and in Match #3 Round 3, North Sanpete defeated Gun-

nison 2 40-30.

Then during the Saturday A1 matches, in Match #1 Round 1, Panguitch defeated North Sanpete 55-11; and in Match #2 Round 2, Kanab defeated North Sanpete 51-24.

The team will be at home on Thursday Dec. 21, against Manti, with wrestling matches beginning at 3:30 p.m. and running until around 9 p.m.

The Varsity grapplers are likely to begin around 7 p.m.

Thinking of Our Troops & Veterans at Christmastime

Light up home safely for holidays

ing up holiday lights can be a challenge, but for many it’s the key in making the season merry and bright.

Rocky Mountain Power reminds customers how to stay safe while tackling the feat of lighting up for the holiday season.

• Look up. When placing outside holiday lights on a house or in trees, locate any overhead power lines, and keep

feet away.

• Replace any worn or frayed cords on strings of lights. Plug in lights before stringing them to identify any damaged bulbs.

• Don’t forget to power down. Unplug lights before hanging them, and again when out of the house and when going to sleep.

• Don’t attach too many light strings together and avoid plugging them into just one

Happiness We hope the spirit of the season surrounds you with enough warmth, love and light to last the whole year through.

Happy Holidays!
