Utah attorney general files 16
felony counts against Jacobsons
By Robert Stevens
Staff writer
FOUNTAIN GREEN—
The principal masterminds
behind the investment operations grouped under the
umbrella corporation Management Solutions Inc. (MSI)
can now add criminal charges
to their list of legal problems.
On Monday, the Utah
attorney general filed papers in Third District Court,
charging Wendell A. Jacobson, 61, and his son, Allen R. Jacobson, 36, with 15
counts of securities fraud
(second-degree felonies) and
one count of participating in
a “pattern of unlawful behav-
ior” (second-degree felony).
Each second-degree felony
count is punishable by 1-15
years in a Utah State prison.
Warrants for their arrest
were issued with a bail set at
$100,000, but only Wendell
Jacobson currently resides
within Utah (in Fountain
Green). Allen Jacobson’s residence is currently listed in
Alabama.
“The Jacobsons represented to investors, both face-toface and in MSI’s marketing
materials, that MSI’s operation was successful and represented an extremely desirable
investment opportunity,” the
complaint filed by the state
says.
In reality, the investor
funds weren’t invested at all,
the charges state. “Instead,
they were almost always immediately diverted into one
of the collection accounts,”
most often another company
called Thunder Bay, “where
they were commingled and
then used for other purposes,
including paying returns to
earlier investors.”
Each of the fraud counts
cited a specific investor. One
of the investors was Haven
Barlow, a former Utah State
Senate president, who is now
elderly. Early on, Barlow defended Wendell Jacobson.
Barlow gave more
than $1 million from his

Manti to get soccer field 15 years after land donation
By Michael Kruse
Staff writer
MANTI—A dream a Manti
couple have had for 15 years is
closer to being in the net.
After seeing the ir daughterin-law really involved in soccer,
Merrill and Doris Cox wanted
a soccer field in Manti.
The Coxes decided to donate land they owned to the
South School Sanpete District
for a soccer field, donating with
the express wish that it be used
for a soccer field, even though
they knew there was no guarantee it would be used for the
intended purpose.
That was 15 years ago.
The school board approved
the building of a new soccer
field using the majority of land
the couple donated, now bringing their dream on its way to
fruition.
“Without this donation, the
soccer field would not be possible,” said Paul Gottfredson,
the business manager for the
district.
The board is using the land
donated plus the Verl Henrie
property and other property
adjacent to the Manti softball
complex, both properties purchased by the board. The field
will use “new-lawn sodding”
and should be ready for play by
2016.
Manti High School has boys
and girls soccer teams. Currently the school puts the players on
a bus to play at Ephraim Middle
School. Elisha Steinfeldt, the
Manti High girls soccer coach,
said she’s excited the field is
finally coming.
“They were talking about
this since my team got sanctioned in 2007,” Steinfeldt said.
She said it will be great not to
have to bus the kids to Ephraim
for practices and games and
they can just head right to field.
She also said soccer was
growing in Manti. When she
started with a club team in
2005, she had 13 to 14 girls, she
said, and now she has enough
girls to field both junior varsity
and varsity teams.
“We’ve grown every year
we’ve had soccer,” Steinfeldt
said. She says now the middle
school soccer program helps
feed her high school program.
Steinfeldt said the success of the
United States women’s national
soccer team has contributed to
the rise of popularity of soccer
in the states.
“It’s a great game, and once
people understand it, they grow

Is a cluster subdivision Welsh Days to temporarily double town population
coming to Sanpete?
By Lyle Fletcher
Staff writer
By Michael Kruse
Staff writer
Sanpete County may
be getting its first cluster
subdivision.
The zoning laws in Sanpete County’s master plan
were changed in 2011 to
allow cluster subdivisions,
and the intent of the current land-use ordinance is
to strike a balance between
preserving the rural character of the county while
allowing developers the
option of selling lots.
On May 19, the county
commission made a preliminary approval for Todd and
Amy Anderson to develop
the first cluster subdivision.
The plan is for it to be developed northwest of Fairview.
The plan now includes three
clustered lots, setting the
rest aside as undevelopable.
Before the ordinance
was passed, having to stay
within the zoning requirements was somewhat problematic for people wanting
to develop in the county,
since lots needed to be five
acres in size, and some saw
a five-acre lot as too big to
mow and too small to plow.
Of course, not everyone
understands how big five
acres is. For perspective,
4.5 football fields without
end zones (300 feet by 160
feet) would fit inside five
acres, and 10 high school
basketball courts would also
fit inside five acres.
City blocks in Salt Lake
City and Logan are 10 acres

WALES—Whenever an event
draws more people to it than
the total number living in the
immediate area, that usually says
something worth listening to.
What it says to one co-founder
of the event, Cecil Clawson, is
that “it’s turned into a pretty good
event.” Clawson is speaking of the
Welsh Days celebration held in the
town of Wales the last weekend of
every June.
Clawson says he and a buddy,
Matt Roberts, started the event six
years ago, and last summer saw
“both sides of the streets were
lined with people for the parade.”
He estimates the crowd as some
300-400 people—more than the
town’s total residents by far.
At first the event was attended
by just local folks, Claws says.
Roberts adds, “The event
started as a small idea for the town
to come together and enjoy our
heritage.”
Some came just to compete,
and others to enjoy the good
times, but now the two-day celebration also draws those intrigued
and curious about Welsh ancestry
and Welsh ways.
Clawson says the presented
activities have varied from year
to year, and it’s progressed from
simply “figuring it out in our backyard” to a community celebration
that is now “worth coming to see.”
Roberts indicates that some
activities have grown to become
reoccurring staples year after
year—especially some of the
strong man events. These include
the atlas stones, log clean and
press, pillars of Hercules, and the
farmers walk. In the past, they’ve
also used the truck pull, truck
deadlift, ring toss, strong man relay, tire flip, and the human squat.
Roberts says they also rotate
the events to keep the competitors
on their toes, and that “we have
had competitors from Salt Lake
to St. George come.” He adds,

Porter Rockwell comes alive during Mormon Miracle Pageant
By Doug Lowe
Managing editor
EPHRAIM—Keith Redford has become a dramatic
incarnation of the legendary
early Mormon gunslinger and
Prophet-protector, Orrin Porter Rockwell.
On May 29, Porter put on
a dinner-theater performance
in the upstairs room of the historic Ephraim Co-op building,
and the audience seemed to
enjoy Redford’s performance.
“He struck me as so authentic and believable,” said
Natalie Zabriskie of Ephraim,
who attended with children
and her husband, Jay.
Something about the role
seems to especially fit Redford,
and Redford told The Messenger that except for a bit of
acting in high school, “which
at age 55 was a long time ago,”
he is a newcomer to acting as
a profession.
All that started to change
for Redford back in 2007 when
he was serving as the Scoutmaster in his LDS ward in
Arizona. On a summer night,
Redford found himself enjoying the light from a big
campfire around which not
only the boys in his troop but
also those from other troops
had gathered.
Suddenly, the sound of loud
gunshots rang from the nearby
woods!
Moments later, a figure
emerged from the dark of the
woods.
As Redford recalls the experience, “He was wearing a
dime-store cowboy hat. And he
had apparently glued strands
of long hair from the inside
of his hat because whenever
he adjusted his hat, the hair
that was hanging down from
it shifted also.”
The character announced
himself as Porter Rockwell
and started explaining the role
that he had played in early LDS
Church history.
In retrospect, Redford now
sees that as his attention was
irresistibly drawn to, and disappointed by, various aspects
of the character’s costume,
props and narrative, the seed
of an idea was being planted
in his mind.
The performance that night
was brief, for that particular
Porter Rockwell quickly ran
out of material and had to resort to asking the Scouts if they
had questions for him—which
they didn’t.
When he returned home,
Redford found himself telling
his wife, Sandy, about the
campfire performance of the
unimpressive Porter Rockwell.
Then the idea hit as he heard
himself saying something like,
“I know I could be a better
Porter Rockwell.”
The die was cast. For the
next year, he and his wife
did so much Porter Rockwell
research that Redford says,
“Sometimes it almost felt like
Porter himself had taken up
residence in our home. We
were having a Porter Rockwell
experience beyond the norm,
that’s for sure.”
The two of them started
reading all the Porter Rockwell history they could get
their hands on. “But,” says
Redford, “the only books that
I read were biographies. I did
not read any of the historical
novels, because I was just interested in Porter and wanted to
know Porter for Porter and not
as some fictional character.”
How close does Redford
come to portraying the real
Porter Rockwell?
That’s anybody’s guess since
all eyewitnesses are long gone.
Those who would like to see for
themselves will have the opportunity during the Mormon
Miracle Pageant in Manti.
In the Eva Beal Auditorium
upstairs at Manti City Hall, 50
S. Main, audiences can enjoy
30-minute performances of
Redford as Porter Rockwell,
the fabled bodyguard to Joseph
Smith and eventual U.S. Marshal, reminisces about his life
and experiences.
The performance will be
completely unscripted and
involve audience interaction.
Tickets will cost $5 per person.
There will be 7 p.m. performances on Thursday, June 18;
Tuesday, June 23; Wednesday,
June 24; and Thursday, June 25.
On the Friday and Saturday
evenings of June 19, 20, 26 and
27, there will be two performances: at 6 p.m. and 7 p.m.
And also on June 19 will be a
3 p.m. matinee.

Road conditions at core of Centerfield council
By Michael Kruse
Staff writer
CENTERFEILD—For a
long time, roads and pothole
problems have been the subject
of numerous resident complaints at many a city council
meeting. Now, it appears that
the longstanding problem may
finally see some action.
But, that doesn’t mean the
potholes will disappear anytime soon.
Dan Savage, of Savage Surveying told council that fixing
Centerfields roads would take
at least three phases, with the
first phase costing an estimated
“$3 million.”
Mayor Thomas S orenson wondered if they could
find a grant for that much
money and expressed that
council had been “hoping
to do all three phases for
$3 million” Sorenson asked
Savage, “C an we get this
much approved?”
Savage said that he thought
the city had a good chance,
since he had seen those kind
figures approved for other
places in Utah. “There is a big
need here,” Savage said.
He also pointed out that it
might be necessary to break
the project into more, smaller
phases to get it completely
funded and the work complete.
Council agreed that even if
the project took longer than
“If we’re going to change
the speed limit, we
need to do it right.”
—Centerfield Police
Chief Brett McCall
planned; apply for the grant or
grants now would put the city
on the right track.
So, Savage will be working
with the city to help prepare
all the information needed to
submit the appropriate grant
applications.
Another road related matter arose concerning what is
known as Farmer’s Freeway
at the point where the speed
limit changed from 55 miles
per hour (MPH) to 25 MPH
immediately upon entering the
city.
Councilman David Beck
suggested raising the city’s
speed limit and asserted “There
is no reason that road should
be 25.”
Police Chief Brett McCall
replied that the city could
face possible liability if they
raised the speed limit without
sufficient due diligence. He
suggested calling the state
engineer to perform a “Speed
Study” to determine if increasing the speed limit was
warranted. “If we’re going to
change the speed limit, we
need to do it right” McCall
stated.
He explained that a speed
camera had already been
placed in that area to study
the speed different drivers
were travelling. According to
McCall, the study revealed it
was learned that 62 percent
of the cars were exceeding 30
MPH—going over the 5 MPH
lee way that police officers
often give speeders.
McCall expressed concern that
76 of those cars were going
between 50 and 60 MPH in a
25 MPH zone.
When Beck accused McCall and the Centerfield police
force of unethical, “speed trap”
tactics like sitting behind the
speed limit sign and pulling
over drivers who were beginning to slow down, McCall
countered that his officers sit
in plain sight and don’t ticket
people who are slowing down.
Beck lashed out saying
he knew of drivers getting
ticketed even when they were
slowing down, and McCall responded “it sounds like you’re
getting mad at my guys for doing their job.” Then he pointed
out that police officers only
enforce laws while city council
had the authority to change
laws, like a speed limit.
At that point, Beck made a
motion to move the 25 MPH
speed limit sign two blocks
further in order to lengthen
the roadway where drivers can
still go 55. When that motion
failed to get a second, council
decided to talk with residents
on the street and to also look
into what it would cost to have
a speed study done, before
discussing the matter again in
another city council meeting.

Spring City council approves new budget plan for the coming year
By Michael Kruse
Staff writer
SPRING CITY—Memories of the city’s past
near-bankruptcy were remembered as Spring City
held a public hearing to
approve the budget in 20152016.
Some residents warned
the city council to be careful about spending too
much money, saying they
had lived in the city when
it had come close to going
bankrupt and don’t want to
risk that again.
The council originally planned to take a total
of $128,000 from a fund
known as the Utah Public Treasurers’ Investment
Fund (PTIF), a savings
account.
Former mayor and cur-
rent city council candidate
Eldon Barnes expressed
concern at the council using such funds too freely.
He said the PTIF should be
reserved for a “rainy day.”
“If you keep spending
money at this rate, you’re
going to bankrupt this
town,” Barnes said.
C ouncilman Keith
Coltharp said the money
is there to be used, and he
only gets .5 percent interest
on it so there is no sense just
letting the money sit in the
bank. “Are you saying we
should just let the money
sit there and build?”
Barnes said he didn’t
object to using some of
the money but suggested
staging various projects
over a number of years so
they don’t spend all the
money at once. Barnes
said he worried about the
city facing something like
an unexpected fire or a
flood, and recommended
the city should have money
set aside in case of such an
emergency.
C ouncilman Keith
Christenson said that while
people criticize the current administration for
spending too much many
of the projects had to be
done now, by the current
administration in order
to preserve Spring City’s
heritage—one of the main
reasons people chose to live
here.
In the end, the council
amended the budget to
reduce the amount being drawn from savings
to under $100,000; once

Another fatal crash in Fairview Fountain Green begins planning
By Robert Stevens
Staff writer
FAIRVIEW—For the second time in a week, a rollover
on Saturday turned fatal in the
Fairview area.
Last Saturday, 12-year old
Easton Taylor of West Jordan
lost his life when the car he was
riding in rolled and ejected him
from the vehicle.
Taylor and a group of relatives and friends were caravaning home after a camping trip in
the Huntington/Eccles Canyon
area. The SUV Taylor was riding in was traveling north on
U.S. 89 and was occupied by
himself and five other youth,
ages 12-18.
According to Utah Highway
Patrol Trooper Evan Kirby, the
SUV was being driven by a
16-year-old and experienced
left-front tire failure during
a passing maneuver. It then
careened off the road and into
a drainage ditch before it rolled
multiple times.
Neither the driver nor the
passengers were wearing seat
belts.
According to Kirby, one
passenger was completely ejected from the SUV, and two others, one of them Taylor, were
and extricate them.
The condition of those
involved in the wreck is not
currently available.

North Sanpete Arts Council holds
inaugural Art Walk in Fariview
By Terry Madsen
Staff writer
FAIRVIEW—The First Annual Art Walk became a reality.
On Friday, June 19, downhome country music filled the
air at the Fairview Museum of
History and Art, along with
beats from an African tongue
drum.
The main hall also overflowed with the paintings of 20
local artists—some who had
even kept their talent a secret
until the Art Walk.
In the Art Walk, the newly
formed North Sanpete Arts
Council had created a enjoyable
meshing of art and music.
The eclectic musical group
“Jim’s Song Circle” performed
folksy accompaniment while
singing—making the visitors
want to cry along with the
lyrics, or dance along with the
music, depending on the song.

that afternoon with an African

drum he built with padauk and
birdseye maple.
The Arts Council also invites everyone to attend the
annual 24th of July Auto Show,
where prizes will be given, including that red utility trailer
parked in the CentraCom lot.
Proceeds from ticket purchases keep the museum open
and growing throughout the
next year. Lace Days are also
coming up soon.
FOUNTAIN GREEN—Beautify.
That’s what a community joins
together and does as a whole, and it
appears that in the not-too-distant
future another city in the county
will join Ephraim in having attractive new sidewalks, light poles and
planter boxes downtown because
Fountain Green has begun the early planning phase of its own Main
Street beautification project.
During last Thursday’s meeting
of the Fountain Green City Council,
a design engineer from the Richfield office of Ensign Engineering
and Land Surveying, Michael Naser, presented preliminary concept
drawings for several improvements,
including new sidewalks on the west
side of the town’s main commercial
area—the one-block-long section
on Main Street (S.R. 132) between
Center Street and 100 South.
According to Mayor Ron Ivory,
“once our CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) funding
arrives from HUD (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development), the city will have 18
months to complete the renovation
work, so we expect it to be all done
before the end of 2016.”
The envisioned $400,000 improvement project, funded partly
with a CDB G of $200,000 and
$200,000 in Utah Department of
Transpiration (UDOT) monies,
will not only provide new five-footwide sidewalks but also new light
poles, flower planter boxes, as well
as steps and handrails designed to
increase safety and accessibility
in those portions near the center
of the block where the sidewalk is
significantly higher than the curb
and street level.
The plan includes upgrading the
public areas along that block—especially around the historic Bishop’s
Storehouse built in 1906.
On the grounds of the storehouse
two historic monuments have been
erected by the Daughters of Utah
Pioneers (DUP): one memorializing
the 1867 death of Lewis Lund at the
hands of hostile Indians; the other
supporting the school bell which
was first rung in 1880 upon the
opening of the town’s first public
school (and used for 88 years).
Fountain Green resident and
landscape architect David Bradley,
who is also involved in developing concepts for the Main Street
improvements, suggested several
possible ideas for making the Bishop’s Storehouse (which contains a
small museum) and its surrounding
grounds a great deal more inviting,
useful and wheel-chair accessible to
area residents and visitors.
The city is also making plans to
improve its central park (located
between 300 and 400 West, and
Center Street and 100 South) by
adding a set of public restrooms and
a permanent concession stand on
the park’s west side. Grant funds for
those two improvements have been
requested from the Community
Impact Board (CIB) and the Eccles
Foundation.
Ivory expressed special thanks to
City Recorder Michelle Walker on
behalf of the entire city council for
her “diligent and excellent work”
in preparing and submitting all the
various grant applications and their
supporting documents.
During the citizen-comment
portion of the meeting, strong
complaints were voiced by a pair
of residents who live next to a “vacant two-bedroom, one bathroom
home that is being operated as a
short-term rental business—a loud

Yet he is also very vocal about
how many volunteers just step up
to set up, clean up and do whatever
is needed behind the scenes. It
takes quite a few, and he is not exaggerating when he says, “Simply
everyone is willing to pitch in to
help put on a good show.”
The celebration takes place in
the Wales City Park at 150 South
State Street.
The raffle for the handmade
quilt begins at 6:30 p.m. on Friday,
June 26, and attendance is not
required to win. Tickets can be

potluck BBQ turkey dinner is at 7

dish to share. Then the Phat Old
Professors will entertain with their
music from 8:30-11 p.m.

Roberts said, “All are welcome
to try at their own risk. Welsh Days

family corporations to the Jacobsons. The state complaint
against the Jacobsons cites
what happened to each Barlow
deposit.
The first investment of
$100,000 went toward buying
apartments. But all the others,
the complaint states, were channeled into other corporations,
primarily Thunder Bay.
Meanwhile, in spite of the
criminal charges, it appears all
investors will get back at least
the principal they invested with
MSI.
In April, U.S. District Judge
Bruce Jenkins ruled on a plan
to pay investors any principal
amounts they had lost. The
payments are coming from
liquidation of rental housing
owned by Jacobsen corporations and from seizure of
Jacobson assets.
Three weeks ago, the first
round of refund distribution
to the investors was made.
According to Gil Miller, the
court-appointed receiver who
directed the operation, “over
$100 million was returned to
Larsen, Marilyn Lyon and Daisy
Christensen.
Twin Oaks Local District has
one four-year seat open with Jeff
Strange as the sole candidate.
Wales has only two candidates who have filed for the three
positions. Incumbent Byron L.
Davis filed for a two four-year
council seats, and incumbent
Ronald Dean Thompson filed
for a two-year council seat.
the original investors.”
Approximately $31 million
is still being held for refund
claims made by the Jacobsons
themselves, but, according to
Miller, the funds will not be
returned until the court has
ruled their claims legitimate.
The father-son team was
sued in federal court in 2011
as part of an SEC investigation
for their part in MSI’s alleged
fraudulent use of the investment funds from more than 400
investors.
According to prosecutors, the Jacobsons had been
running a legitimate business
through the end of 2008. Yet
in 2009 they began recruiting
investors in schemes where new
investments funded the returns
due to earlier investors.
Prosecutors alleged Wendell Jacobson abused his position of leadership within the
LDS Church, former bishop in
a Snow College student ward,
to help persuade potential
investors to hand over their
money.
More than $200 million
from investors was channeled
into various limited liability
corporations (LLC) owned
under the MSI umbrella. Those
LLC’s were reportedly supposed to earn their investors
a return on their investment
by purchasing rundown apartment complexes, restoring
them to good condition and
selling them for profit.
But, according to federal
and state prosecutors, besides
payouts to earlier investors,
the money went for Jacobson
family expenses and business
operating costs.
The SEC investigation resulted in the entirety of the
Jacobson’s property, assets and
business records being seized.
Although some vehicles and
belongings were ultimately
returned to the Jacobsons,
their money and properties
were held with the intent of
reimbursing the victimized
investors.
In an article on the new
white-collar crime registry
in Utah, the Deseret News
reported in May: “The FBI estimated that in 2012, more than
4,000 Utah residents lost a net
total of $1.4 billion to ‘affinity’
schemes.”

to love it,” Steinfeldt said.
The bid was awarded to
Lamar Barton of Barton Excavating, and the building of
the fence will be handled by
Jerry Cluff of Cluff Builders and
Fencing.
The soccer field will cost
$477,381 (includes the cost of
building a fence around the
track at Gunnison Valley High
School), and this amount was
approved by the board in their
May meeting. In the meantime,
construction of the soccer field
has begun.
Doris Cox said for her it
never was about the publicity.
It was about providing a place

partying and drinking
place.”
The unhappy nextdoor neighbors asked the
council how the vacant
home next door could be
advertised on the Internet and rented out a few
days at a time when the
area is zoned strictly for
single-family homes, not
commercial businesses.
After discussion, it
was determined that the
rental operation was indeed illegal, and the city
recorder was instructed to send a letter to
the owner of the vacant
home, who lives out of
town, telling him such
use of his property is not
permitted and must be
ceased immediately.
Another citizen concern involved the tall
grass growing in vacant
lots where it will become
a fire hazard after it dries
up. The council asked
that an inventory of such
lots be taken by Roger
Aagard, the city’s maintenance coordinator, and
Chad Huff, police chief,
with possible assistance
from Alan Christensen,
the fire chief, to identify
the places where vacant
lots present a possible
fire hazard to neighboring homes. Walker was
asked to send a letter
to the owners of those
properties indicating
that the weeds needed
to be mowed down.
The council unanimously adopted a resolution calling upon the
county commission to
give county residents a
chance to vote whether
to take advantage of the
newly enacted legislation
(as part of H.B. 362) giving counties the option
of adding a very small
(.25 percent) sales tax
with the resulting funds
devoted entirely to local
road improvements.
The city council was
also asked to consider
the benefit of installing
a stop sign on Center
Street at 400 West to help
slow down the speed of
cars on Center Street.
This is at the north end
of the city park and only
one block away from
Fountain Green Elementar y S cho ol. C ouncil
took the request under
advisement for further
consideration.
Boy Scout Mason Bailey, the son of Greg and
Jenny Bailey, presented the council with a
proposed Eagle Scout
project that was well received. Mason’s plan is to
improve the park’s ball
diamond bleachers and
dugout benches (sanding and repainting) and
to also trim trees and
repair the backstop.
The council approved
the project and also provided a payment of $150
to Mason to help with
expenses.
It was announced that
for the remainder of
2015, beginning in August, city council meetings will be held on the
second Thursday of each
month (instead of on the
long-standing four th
Thursday schedule).

were Amy Nielson and Jessica
Christensen.
Others who attended Girls
State from Gunnison Valley High
and received scholarships were
Alyssa Worthington (Honors
Scholarship $1,700) and Kemree Christiansen and Rhiley
McArthur who both received
the Achievement Scholarship
($900.)
Wasatch Academy student,
Jessica Rasmussen was awarded
the Honors Scholarship ($1,700),
and North Sanpete High School
student, Kylie Mitchell received
the Achievement Scholarship
($900).
Coming from 96 high
schools in the state, 302 of the
335 young women at Girls State
were awarded scholarships, with
the awards totaling $1,084,000 so
far (with that amount likely to
increase when some who attend
Girls State finally receive news of
their ACT scores.)
Those who attended Girls
State, held June 1-6 at WSU,
participated in mock trials and
elections and learned about the
inner workings of city, county,
state and national governments
by creating and running a state
of their own.
They also learned about
leadership and gained a deeper
understanding of this nation, its
flag and those who have served
to keep it free.
In addition to learning
through involvement in music
and arts, those who attend often
create lifelong friendships.
Merilee C. Wilson, director
of Girls State this year, said, “I
personally enjoy watching the
girls begin the week with trepidation and end the week with
confidence and inner strength
that they didn’t know they even
had. They achieve this because
they are brave enough to be
involved, continue to try even
when they lose elections and
have a great time getting to know
other amazing young women
from throughout Utah.”
Girls State is sponsored by
the American Legion Auxiliary (the women’s branch
of the organization) while Boys
State by The American Legion
(men’s organization.)
Most of the scholarships are
sponsored by WSU. Utah student who have finished their
junior year are eligible to attend
the statewide programs if they
have a high enough Grade Point
Average (GPA.)
Scholarship types or categories as well as scholarship
amounts are the same for both
Girls State and Boys State attendees, and are awarded based
on ACT scores and high school
GPA.
WSU is very generous in
its scholarships with 162 of
those attending Boys State received scholarships amounting
to $945,400 thus far (an amount
like to increase due to later ACT
scores becoming available.).
For instance, 68.6 percent of
the 236 boys attending from 74
high schools in the state received

Photos of model of Ephraim Square are too amazing not to share
After a recent visit with
Sherron Andreasen of Ephraim,
I was delighted to see both a
drawing and miniature models
she had created of possible additions to Ephraim Square.
The making of Ephraim
Square is a wonderful plan in
progress, and Sherron has done
a phenomenal job creating a
way to make Ephraim Square
much more inviting. I took
photos of her miniature models
while visiting, and they’re too
amazing not to share.
Yet another plan in progress is the replication of the
old Bank of Ephraim by Cache
Valley Bank, situated alongside
the historic Canute Peterson
home.
I have to admit that driving
by the Canute Peterson home
was a delightful experience
after the adjoining bank was
demolished, allowing its oneof-a-kind historic beauty to
become all the more visible.
How sad to see a new bank
being constructed when that
corner of Ephraim was practically perfect the way it was.
Besides, there’s no shortage
of banks in the county, and
there’s only one Canute Peterson home.
Sherron’s ideas, which she
shared in a letter to the editor
regarding the home and the
bank, could have been a much
better way of adding character
to the historic downtown.
The restoration work of
Sherron and her late husband
McKay shows the community
what local artisans have to offer.
How reassuring it would be
if Ephraim City Council, the
steward of the city’s heritage,
would involve citizens ahead of
time in the design of Ephraim’s
historic downtown district.
PHOTO COURTESY OF CATHY WHITAKER
(Above) Sherron Andreasen of Ephraim created a detailed scale
model of Ephraim Square, complete with greenery, lampposts and
benches, as well as a central courtyard for a variety of community
events. (Below) She also created a model of a proposed collapsible
canopy for the Ephraim Square courtyard.
Equally reassuring would
be if the council would involve
citizens in the decision-making
process well before historic
buildings are demolished, such
as the lovely Victorian home
where a car lot now stands.
Let’s hope that in the future
at least two weeks’ notice of
council meeting agendas can be
posted in the Sanpete Messenger, especially when it involves
Ephraim’s historic gems.

North Sanpete School Board talks
over band uniforms and art center
By Shirley Bahlmann
Staff writer
MT. PLEASANT—No action
was taken on the two major issues that came before the North
Sanpete School Board in their
recent meeting: New uniforms
for the marching band at North
Sanpete High School and using
the old Mt. Pleasant Elementary
School as an art center.
Cody Booher wore the black,
red and white prototype of the
proposed uniforms for the North
Sanpete High School marching
band.
Band teacher Tim Kidder
said the prototype uniform included removable collars for
washability, optional plumes on
the crisply billed caps and snap
hems for easy length adjustment.
According to the company
sales rep, “They’ll easily last 10
years.”
Money has already been
raised toward the uniforms,
which could ultimately cover
nearly half the cost, Kidder said.
Kidder also mentioned that
the uniforms could serve double
duty if the high school goes ahead

Kovic Bailey and Ashlie Stevens
Russel and Julie Stevens,
of Ephraim, are ecstatic to announce the marriage of their
daughter, Ashlie Ann Stevens to
the love of her life, Kovic Shane
Bailey. Kovic is the son of Kelly
and Teri Lyn Bailey of Ephraim.
The couple has chosen to be
sealed for time and all eternity
in the Manti Utah LDS Temple
on Tuesday June 30, 2015. Ashlie was a graduate
of Manti High School in 2014
with many honors. She also was
this past year’s Miss Ephraim
2014, and was awarded the Miss
Congeniality award at this year’s
Miss Sanpete Pageant. Ashlie is
currently working at both T&R
Sports in Ephraim and Kent’s
Market in Ephraim. She plans
to earn a degree in Elementary
Education from Southern Utah
University. After which, she
hopes to continue her education
A7
to learn more about special
needs and living with learning
disabilities.
Kovic Bailey served a two year
LDS Mission in the California,
Carlsbad Mission and has held
various church callings since. He
returned home in December 2012
and has worked at Bailey Farms
International and attended Snow
College since then. He received
his Associates of Arts and his
Associates of Science from Snow
College. Kovic has also been
awarded a full-tuition scholarship
from SUU where he will continue
to pursue his education to become
an orthopedic surgeon. He plans
on receiving a bachelor degree in
Human Nutrition and Exercise
Science and a Minor in Chemistry. The bride and groom look
forward to their journey together.
Our beloved mother, sister
grandmother and friend, Kathryn Marie Baker Beacham, left
this mortal existence on June
15, 2015 after patiently enduring many years of ill health.
Marie was born on June 16,
1929 to Leonard Darwin and
Florence Payne Baker. She grew
up in the beautiful hamlet of
Monroe, Utah surrounded by
cousins and a close knit extended family. She often described
her childhood as “idyllic”. She
was an excellent student and
had a beautiful voice which she
shared at many school, church,
and community events.
While attending Branch
Agricultural College (SUU)
, Marie met and fell in love
with a dashing young man
from Southern Utah. She and
Garth were married on Aug.
20, 1948 in the Salt Lake LDS
Temple and together raised 4
children. Marie put her education on hold to be home with
her young family, but later
returned, proudly completing
a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education.
Marie was a loved and
respected teacher. She successfully taught Junior High School
and Children’s Literature for
USU, but her true love was
teaching reading. She taught
hundreds of children and numerous adults to read and
often expressed the hope that
there will be children needing
a reading teacher in heaven.
She was a member of The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in
the Primary, Relief Society and
Young Women organizations.
She especially enjoyed the time
spent serving with her husband
in the Manti Temple.
Marie was a proud democrat and firmly believed in
helping those who could not
help themselves, for any rea-
son. She donated thousands
of dollars annually to charities
she believed in and often found
ways to anonymously provide
clothing, blankets, food or other necessities to those in need.
Her passions included reading,
her ladies “lunch bunch”, all facets of nature, music, traveling,
her pets, getting her hair done,
caramel popcorn, potato salad,
and especially her family. She
was compassionate, honest,
intelligent, spunky, and loyal.
She will be greatly missed.
She is survived by her children, Garth Rand (Chris) Beacham of Santa Clara, Kathryn
Dawn (David) Williams of
West Valley, Bradley Leonard
(Valerie) of Salt Lake City and
Janet Knell Jordan of Ephraim;
11 grandchildren, 11 great
grandchildren (with one more
on the way), 1 great-great
granddaughter; a sister, Dawn

was preceded in death by her
husband, parents, a baby brother, and daughter-in-law Diane

to include a gallery and a craft

She requested permission
from the board to begin marketing for fundraising to make the
art center a reality.
Since there are plans to house
an alternative school in part of
the building Collette is interested
in, the proposed lease amount is
based on percentage of square

is 56 percent.
At the end of five years,

Board members commented on the attractiveness of the

of having them, but said they
wanted to take a closer look at
their budget to determine how to
pay for them. Kidder also needs
to get two more bids to fulfill state
requirements.
The board members commented on uniforms fitting better

in June. Her events would offer

Broken bones, bruises and bulls
Fairview youth wins high school bullriding championship wearing a cast
By Robert Stevens
Staff writer
FAIRVIEW—Rodeo is a
way of life for Fairview’s Colton
Humphries, and his devotion
to the sport has earned him
many trophies and awards, the
latest of which is the National
High School Rodeo Association’s (NHSRA) Utah State bull
riding championship, which he
won with a broken arm.
Humphries, a freshman at
North Sanpete High School,
had broken his arm during a
bull riding mishap earlier in
the year, but it didn’t stop him
from competing in the state
championship on June 6—or
winning.
Broken bones, bruises and
blood are just a part of the
territory says his mom, Alisa
Fullmer, who supports his
passion for rodeo despite the
reoccurring injuries.
When asked what it was
that keeps him coming back
for more, Humphries said, “It’s
never the same. It never gets
old, and it’s challenging. You
have to stay positive.”
Humphries took an interest in rodeo at an early
age, but when he was 6 a
horse ran away with him
still on its back. Even though
he had a newfound fear
from his encounter with the
horse, he forced himself to
confront it and not give up
on his rodeo dreams, said
Fullmer.
The NHSRA state bull
riding title isn’t the first
time Humphries has won
big.

Ephraim student
gathers gold in track
By Lyle Fletcher
Staff writer
EPHRAIM—“Citius, altius,
ampliusor” (meaning faster,
higher, further) appears to be the
motto of Tyson Brenchley, 12, of
Ephraim—a track phenom who
won four gold medals in a recent
Central Utah track meet.
Tyson competed against
teams from Spanish Fork,
Payson, Nephi, North Sanpete,
Juab and Gunnison as part of a
combined team from Ephraim
and Manti at the South Invitational Track and Field Meet in
Payson on June 11. The Central
Utah Track and Field Association
(CUTFA) sponsored the event,
and it was organized by Payson
City.
For his age group, he placed
first in the 100-meter race ,
200-meter race, high jump and
the long jump.
In high jump, Tyson’s performance was his personal best at 4
feet 8 inches.
And since he’s 4 feet 10 inches
tall, he jumped almost as high as
he is tall.
Tyson’s performance in two
other events were his personal
best: 13.87 in the 100 meters and
29.00 in the 200 meters.
In long jump, he flew 12 feet
6 inches before landing about
8 inches less than his personal
best).
Tyson is no stranger to
winning, since in other CUTFA
events this spring and summer,
he has placed first in five out
of his six 100-meter races, first

races, first in three of the four

STERLING—With
$1,000,000 on the line and video
cameras rolling, one golfer had
his “one shot” opportunity last
Friday.
The annual Hallows Dream
Machine Golf Tournament took
place Friday, June 12, at Palisade
State Park with over 25 companies participating from Central

The golfers began with a

would get a chance to go on
and take their shot at $1,000,00.
Lavern Lafever of Manti won the
contest and he was “locked and
loaded” from 165 yards out.
Lafever’s effort to tempt that
golf ball to drop in the hole so
he could win $1,000,000 were
caught on camera, and “his shot
came up well short of the green,”
says the press release from Hallows and Company, as “thoughts

one of the four types of scholarships offered: (1) $5,400 Presidential Scholarship (amounting
to $22,000 over four years), (2)
$2,700 High Honors Scholarship
(one year), (3) $1,700 Honors
Scholarship (one year) and (4)
$900 Achievement Scholarship
(one year).
Among the Manti High
students who attended Boys
State, Braxton D. Good received
a High Honors Scholarship
($2,700), Devin P. Landon and
Cody L. Walk each received an
Honors Scholarship ($1,700)
and Johnathan B. Barton and
Nathan Bradley both received an
Achievement Scholarship ($900).
The total numbers from
both Boys State and Girls State
are preliminary since some who
attended will turn in their ACT
scores by August, meaning more
students will likely receive scholarships.
At Boys State, held June 8-12
at WSU, the boys learned about
being a responsible citizen and
appreciating the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. They
participated in such things as
mock trials and elections, seminars with public officials, sports
and music.
Bob Jones,
president of American Legion
Utah Boys State, said this year
73 volunteers helped put on the
event: “Utah Boys State program
is orchestrated entirely by an
all-volunteer staff including
Legionnaires, Sons of The American Legion, police officers and
firefighters from across Utah, as
well as guest orators at each level
of government, including city,
county, state and federal.”
Attendance at either program
also provides three credits of
political science college credit
from WSU that is transferable
to another institution of higher
education.

Winners
2015 Lions Club Tournament
A10
Congratulations to top teams
in Ephraim Lions Club Tournament
Youth baseball and softball teams from throughout Sanpete
County played more than 100 games at the Ephraim Family
Park complex on Wednesday June 4 through Saturday June 6
in the 71st Ephraim Lion’s Club tournament.
The final games on Saturday were rained out, so the tournament was completed on Monday, June 8 and Tuesday, June 9.
The Messenger is proud to join with Lion’s Club and other
sponsors in presenting team photos of the first and second
place winners in four boys and four girls age divisions.
The Girls Fox League did not complete games after the rainout, so there are no final photos for that group.
Despite extensive effort, the Messenger was unable to obtain
photos of second place teams for the Girls Coach Pitch League
(5-6- year-olds), and the Boys Under 8 (7-8-year-olds), Boys
Under 10 (9-10-year-olds) and Boys Under 12 (11-12-yearolds.)
If you have photos of any of the missing second-place
teams, please call Robert Stevens, 835-4241, to arrange
publication in a future newspaper.

Manti senior in running
for $35K scholarship
By Lyle Fletcher
Staff writer
MANTI—Bailey Simons,
a senior at Manti High School,
was selected to join the pool of
98 students competing for 10

scholarships of $20,000 each.
The pool of 98 Samsung

also be direct descendants of
a military veteran. In Bailey’s
case, her grandfather, Alden
Que Simons, served with the
Army 145th Artillery during the
Korean War from 1950-1952.
Samsung, a world-wise company which began in Korea in
1938, funded the scholarship
program to show appreciation
for the Americans military personnel who helped South Korea
during the Korean War.
Bailey, daughter of David
and Allison Simons, is a 4.0
GPA student and a member of
the National Honor Society. She
was selected as the Social Science

the amendments to the
budget were made, the
budget received council’s
unanimously approval.
The council also discussed the upcoming bluegrass festival scheduled for
later in the summer. Some
residents expressed concern about the city pitching
in $5,550 to help with the
festivities.
Coltharp said the investment is worth it, that
the festival has promised to
split the proceeds with the
city and that the city would
make their money back.
Jan Durfey, wife of
Councilman Dan Durfey,
expressed concern about
allowing campers. She said
in previous years the campers have left beer cans and
marijuana joints across the
land. She said one year she
had two parents passed out
her in front yard, and the
children asked her to drive
them home.
“This festival has never
been a success,” Jan said.
The city decided to allow
campers because they can’t
discriminate against campers for the Bluegrass Festival while allowing campers
for the Mormon Miracle
Pageant and other events.
With Fourth of July
coming up, the city also reinstated its ban of fireworks
within city limits. The fireworks ban which council
had enacted last summer
expired in November, so a
new ban was needed..
It was noted that due
to the dry year, Gov. Gary
Herbert has recommended
that all cities ban fireworks
that are not a part of regular, professionally presented
displays.
Upon that note, council
unanimously passed a measure to ban fireworks until
further notice.

Video by North Sanpete

By Lyle Fletcher
Staff writer
MT. PLEASANT—Amy
Gull, a recent graduate of North
Sanpete High School, who submitted a video presentation to
Family Career and Community
Leaders of America (FCCLA)
about her struggle to overcome
suicidal tendencies, was invited
to Washington, D.C. in order to
share that video with others.
Amy was chosen as one

presentations during FCCLA’s
July 5-9 National Leadership
Conference in Washington,

Amy will also give an oral presentation.
The video was submitted
to FCCLA’s contest, Digital
Stories for Change, which this
year focused on the theme
“Together We Are … Making
a Difference.”
In order to make this trip,
Amy had to raise about $1,500,
which she did by asking for
donations and selling cookies.
Her mother said, “She is grateful for all who participated in
her fundraising and those who
bought cookies. She has just

Family Fun
Answers:
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although you
don’t like to change plans once they’re set, once
again, you might find that doing so can make a big
difference in your favor. Family matters dominate
the weekend.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You continue
to get encouragement for your proposals, including some support from unlikely sources. Use this
positive flow to move forward with your plans.
Good luck.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Family matters
are dominant this week. It’s a good time to be with
those you love. It’s also a good time to contact and
reunite with loved ones with whom you’ve lost
touch.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be careful not
to allow differences of opinion to create unpleasant
feelings, especially in the workplace. A neutral
observer could check out the situation and suggest
a resolution.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) While the Lion’s
Den is the center of attention this week, with family
matters dominating much of your time, workplace
issues are also important. Try to find a balance
between them.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) The
future of a new relationship could depend on how
much the usually impatient-to-get-things-done
Virgo is willing to stop pushing and let things
happen naturally.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Worry
over a loved one’s well-being is eased with good
news from a sympathetic source. Your continued
show of love and support is important. Stay with
it.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) This
is a good time to consider mending fences with
someone you wish was back in your life. Forget
about blame, and focus on the good things you
once shared.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) This is a good week to start researching
information regarding whatever changes you’re
considering, whether it involves a new home, a
new location or a new job.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19)
A long-anticipated job opportunity could turn
out to be less than you expected. But appearances
might be deceiving. Check it out before you decide
it’s not for you.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18)
Good news: Adapting to a new situation might
come more easily than you expected. You can
look for continued support from colleagues who
appreciate your contributions.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Someone
you care for might need more reassurance from the
typically “unemotional” Pisces. Go ahead. Open
up, and you might be surprised at what you find
when you do.
BORN THIS WEEK: You are a romantic at
heart, although you can be amazingly practical
when you need to be.

Cluster
(Continued from A1)
(660 feet square), while city
blocks in St. George are 528 feet
square, making each city block
6.4 acres.
By comparison, Fountain
Green’s city blocks are 4.5 acres.
In addition, the intent of
allowing cluster subdivisions is
not to “create subdivisions with
lots sprawled over large areas
or strung out along roadways,”
states the county’s land-use
ordinance.
The specified intent of the
county’s land-use ordinance
is to “encourage quality open
space” and “to preserve the rural character and natural beauty
of unincorporated Sanpete
County.”
The change in the zoning
laws was made as part of the
county’s master plan for economic growth in the county.
Since the unincorporated portion of the county is one of
the biggest areas of potential
growth for the county, the
change also provides incentives
for people to participate in it.
Scott Olsen, county zoning
director, said he thinks once the
first houses get built, more people will use the cluster option.
The cluster subdivisions
allow more units than the standard zoning requirements since
D.C.
(Continued from A14)
about all the money she needs.”
Amy served as the chapter
president of FCCLA at North
Sanpete High last year. The video she created tells of her personal journey from being happy
as a child, to being bullied in
seventh grade, and reaching the
point where she wanted to kill
herself, after which counseling
and other help empowered her
to once again enjoy life, make
friends, and share herself and
her talents.
Amy says in her video presentation, “As a child, I was
always happy. I would dance
around … play with my friends
and have the time of my life.”
Then in seventh grade she
became bored, sad, had no
friends, and didn’t want to be
alive. “I never had a smile on
my face.”
She was assailed by thoughts
that no one cared about her, that
she was isolated—“just a lonely
human with no friends.”
Fortunately, her mother
recognized what was going on.
Hospitalization, counseling,
and the support of family and
friends helped Amy pull out of
her downward suicidal spiral.
In eighth grade she landed
the lead in the school play and
made friends. “I then knew
who I was” says Amy, “I began
to hang out and be friends with
everyone.”
they preserve open space as
undeveloped land.
The land-use ordinance
defines clustering as, “The
grouping of structures, courts,
cul de sacs or short streets more
closely than in conventional
residential plans in order to
preserve agriculture, natural
site amenities and open space.”
The type of cluster subdivisions that can be built
depends on the zoning of the
land in question, and in each
different type of zone, the
amount of minimum open
space differs. For instance, in
the sensitive lands zone, it’s a
minimum of 90 percent, while
in an RA 1 zone, the minimum
of open space required is 20
percent.
In short, the land is to be
used in multiple ways rather
than just as a subdivision.
One of the major benefits of
the cluster option is the open
space can be owned by “a homeowners’ association, land trust,
conservation organization,
government entity or private
individual,” says the ordinance.
This allows someone to still use
the land while making money
off houses.
Another benefit is the “bonus density,” which offers incentives for wise development.
Now, according to Amy,
“I am glad to say I am happy.
I dance. I hang out with my
friends. And I am having the
time of my life.”
The title of Amy’s video presentation, which is less than five
minutes long, is “You Just Gotta
Open Your Eyes.”
Her personal journey has
been an eye-opening one—
letting her now sees the good
and the beauty in others and in
herself. Her mother summarizes: “One of the most important
things Amy has learned is that
everyone is amazing for who
they are, and that we need to
open our eyes and be aware of
those who might need a friendly hand.”
The only daughter of Alan
and Debi Gull, Amy lives in
Wales and is the youngest of
six children. Speaking of Amy’s
video, her mother says, “If this
will help even one child who
thinks they are alone and hopeless, it will be worth it.”
The video presentation,
which also shows Amy reaching
out to another suicidal student,
can be found on YouTube by
searching for the words “North
Sanpete FCCLA” followed by
looking for the video titled
“Open Our Eyes.”
Amy is grateful for help
received from her teachers Auralee Brooks, JoDee Black and
Michael Coates.
This means more houses can be
built as long as certain conditions are met, and each type of
condition can net a percentage
of points toward the maximum
number points allowed in that
type of zone.
Some of these conditions
in the agriculture zone include
such things as developing a
cluster subdivision the planning commission deems to
meet the intent of the ordinance, preserving open space,
providing road stubs, providing
access to public lands, creating
a common area open to the
public, preserving a wildlife
habitat, having open space
contiguous to permanently preserved open space, protection
of sensitive lands and providing
a community well and/or septic
system.
Olsen said he thinks the
change in the ordinance will
help the growth of Sanpete
County, but he still expects
slow growth in the area due the
county’s water woes.
Olsen also said it will take
some time before the subdivision gets up. The Andersons
have two more meetings before
final approval.
“It’s really up to him to decide when it gets done,” Olsen
said.

STUDENT OF THE MONTH: JESSICA ROSS
What motivates you to do your best? My
family motivates me to do my best. Without
them, high school would have been a lot
harder to get through.
In what ways are you involved in your community? I like to provide help to those that
I see in need. I have helped mow lawns,
weed gardens and load groceries. If I see
someone in need, I like to step up and
help.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
In ten years, I hope to be working
somewhere with little children and
starting a family of my own.
