Where did the name
‘Sanpete’ come from?

Authors reward
responsible youth with
autographed books
By Suzanne Dean and Lyle Fletcher
Staff writers
“Nothing ever happens in small towns.” Year after
year, that axiom proves to not be true, especially in
Sanpete County.
During 2014, the Sanpete Messenger reported on
the continuing march of events related to stories that
broke in earlier years, including the Jeremy Palmer
drug-overdose death, the Leroy and Dorthea Fullwood
double murder, the widening of U.S. 89 and the Central Utah Art Center lawsuit.
New things came up, too, such as an intimation,
which many regarded as a threat, posted on Facebook,
predicting Snow College Homecoming was “gonna
go out with a bang.”
There were no unexpected human-caused incidents at Snow’s Homecoming. Ironically, however,
with five minutes left to play, lightning struck so close
to campus that the football game was called off and
the stadium evacuated.
Later in the year, we had Addie, the disarming
6-year-old from Fountain Green celebrating what
possibly would be her last Christmas. Her request
for Christmas cards touched hearts all over the world,
triggering a torrent of cards and gifts, a special North
Sanpete High School halftime show and a light parade
capped by fireworks.
Following is a look back at the stories Messenger
reporters and editors selected as the Top 10 for last year.
No. 1:
Brandie McClain sentenced in
connection with Jeremy Palmer death, new
details come out about the case.
Jeremy Palmer was the 20-year-old former Manti
High School football player who died August 2013
after companions who took him on a drug-buying trip
to the Wasatch Front failed to get medical attention
for him when he showed signs of an overdose.
Instead of calling 911, Brandie McClain and Josh
Nielson took Palmer to McClain’s home and put him
in a tub filled with ice to try to shock him out of his
stupor.
McClain ended up being charged with drug possession, obstruction of justice and exposing a child
(her son) to drugs, among other charges.
In February, after hearing impassioned pleas from
Palmer’s parents, and despite a presentence report that
recommended just a year in jail, Judge Wallace Lee

sentenced McClain to 1-15 years in prison.
“I think it’ll be the best thing for you, the best thing
for this community,” Lee said. “Your record doesn’t
justify it (but) the crimes do.”
Meanwhile, charges were also filed against Josh
Nielson for driving McClain and Palmer to Salt Lake
County to purchase drugs and for permitting the drugs
to be transported in his vehicle.
Nielson made his initial appearance in court the
same day McClain was sentenced.
A probable cause statement supporting prosecution of Nielson quoted a witness who came to the
McClain household during the fateful night as saying
that, at one point, Palmer stood up in the ice bath and

FOUNTAIN GREEN—It all
started with a question on Facebook: What could be done to make
Christmas even more memorable
for 6-year-old Addie Fausett?
The answer came last Tuesday,
Dec. 23, as nearly 70 vehicles,
including fire trucks from every
city in Sanpete County, came out
for a light parade to brighten the
lives of Addie, her older sisters
Shayley (age 10) and Audree (age
7) and her family.

14 mailboxes rifled

Managing Editor
EPHRAIM — The
Grinch had a busy holiday, as
14 neighborhood mailboxes
in various parts of Ephraim
were robbed on Dec. 23.
Ephraim Police Chief
Ron Rasmussen said the
mailboxes appeared to be
randomly hit, with the perpetrators prying them open
and taking small packages
and Christmas cards, mail
that might contain valuables or cash cards.
As mail robbery is a
federal crime, the case
is being investigated by
the U.S. Postal Inspection
Service, which declined to
comment on the specifics
of the case.
“We are aware of the
problem and are working
with local authorities,” said
U.S. Postal Inspector Steve
Danson, of the service’s

Former Snow
student pleads
guilty after
‘terrorist’ threat
By Shirley Bahlmann
Staff writer
FAIRVIEW—When the Peterson Dance Hall
was being renovated, some may have been concerned that the building would not pay for itself.
According to David Taylor, Fairview city
planner, those concerns have evaporated since
dedication of the restored structure on Feb. 4,
2011.
“It was worth it to remodel the Fairview
Dance Hall,” he said.
The intentionally preserved burn marks on
the dance hall floor testify of its popularity in its
early years when it was heated by a woodstove.
Taylor, whose idea it was to preserve the burn
marks so as not to “sand out any of the history,”
says the building sees steady business.
MANTI—A former student of Snow College has revealed his motives and pleaded
guilty to a terrorism charge.
Speculation about Zachary Baird’s
motives in posting
a potentially threatening message in
September to the
“Snow College
Confessions” Facebook page (which
has no affiliation
with the college itself) have run the
gamut from a harm- Former Snow Colless prank, to trying lege student Zachto impress a girl, ary Baird pleads
guilty to “Attemptto actual terrorist
ed Threat of Terrorintention.
ism.”
Yet after undergoing official investigation, his motives have
been revealed.
On Dec. 10, Baird pleaded guilty to
“attempted threat of terrorism,” a Class A
misdemeanor. Baird is scheduled for sentencing on Jan. 21, and the state plans to
recommend that Baird serve some jail time
for his actions.
According to Assistant Sanpete County
Attorney Kevin Daniels, when charges are
filed, the public wants to know the details of
what’s going on, but not everything can be
revealed upfront in a legal case.
Now that the plea has been entered,
however, Daniels states that Baird intended
for people to see his post as threatening.
This is supported by the fact that his original
statement, “Let’s just say, homecoming this
weekend is gonna go out with a bang. And
the football game is gonna be one no one
is ever gonna forget,” was posted anonymously, yet under his own name he made
the follow-up comment, “I went to school
at Snow last year. Am I the only one who
thinks this sounds threatening? Or am I just
crazy?”
As part of the investigation, leads were
followed to Baird. During his interview, he
revealed that he wanted to stir up a conversation about terrorism because people in Utah

County approves budget offsets
Commissioners
keep same three
public defenders
By Sean Wardwell
Managing Editor
MANTI—Sanpete County
Commissioners approved a
series of budget offsets at the
last commission meeting of the
year that allowed for increases of
three budgets: election supplies,
tourism and wildland urban
interface.
At the meeting on Tuesday,
Dec. 23, County Auditor Ilene
Roth told commissioners that the
offsets, totaling $17,400, were
from funds already received by
the county in the motor vehicle
department, restaurant tax and
building permits and therefore
didn’t represent tax increases.
Accordingly, the election
supplies budget was increased
by $2,400, advertisements to
promote tourism were increased
by $12,000 and the wildland
urban interface budget, which
funds wildfire prevention efforts, was increased by $3,000.
Commissioners also approved extending the contracts
of the county’s three public defenders—Lawrence Hunt, Paul
Frischknecht and David Angerhofer. County Attorney Brody
Keisel said all three were open
to continuing their relationship
with the county at their current
rates of compensation.
In other business, commissioners heard petitions from
Jim Wilson, as well as Charles
and Deborah Allred. Wilson, a
resident of Skyline Mountain,
sought clarification on a building
inspector’s ruling that declared a
mobile home that he had on his
property (which he had converted into a storage shed) had to be
removed.
Wilson argued that improve-
ments that were made to the
mobile home, such as walling it
with timber, made it uninhabitable and appropriate for use as
a storage shed. Commissioners
deferred the matter until a later
date to seek clarification from
County Zoning Administrator
Scott Olsen, who was unavailable at the time.
The Allreds petitioned commissioners to intervene in a matter between themselves and the
city of Centerfield, which has a
water treatment facility close to
their property. The couple said
an extremely bright light from
the facility shines directly into
their house, and they’ve been
unable to get any relief from
Centerfield City after repeated
attempts since 2006.
Commissioners acknowledged that it was a matter between the city and the couple but
offered to unofficially speak to
Centerfield City officials on their
behalf.

Ephraim man facing rape charges
in alleged assault on family member
By Sean Wardwell
Managing Editor
EPHRAIM—An Ephraim
man is facing rape charges after
assaulting a juvenile member of
his family earlier this month.
Kelly Craig, 52, faces one
count of object rape, a first-degree felony; one count of knowingly furnishing alcohol to a
minor, a Class A misdemeanor; intoxication, a Class B
misdemeanor; and carrying a
dangerous weapon while under
the influence of alcohol, a Class
C misdemeanor.
According to a probable
cause statement filed by Officer
Jared Hansen of the Ephraim
Police Department, Craig was
arrested on Dec. 7 after a family member walked in and
witnessed Craig engaging in
sexual activity with the teenage
victim.
The family member flagged
down the officer after calling
911 to report the crime and told
that Craig had fled the scene.
The victim was transported
to Sanpete Valley Hospital and
treated for intoxication while
Officer Hansen made contact
with Craig’s spouse, who informed him that her husband
usually carried a loaded firearm
with him.
Hansen was able to contact
Craig, who had returned to his
residence, and calm him down
enough to get him to put his
weapon down, walk out of the
house with his hands raised and
surrender.
Hansen said he detected a
strong odor of alcohol on Craig
upon arrest and observed he
was acting intoxicated.
Craig is being held in Sanpete County Jail in lieu of
cash-only bail of $23,000. He
appeared before 6th District
Court Judge Marvin Bagley on
Dec. 17 but did not enter a plea.
His case has been continued
until Jan. 14.

the keeping of the city of Fairview in 1982, as long as there
was, “no drinking, no smoking

also underwent a name change

A possible positive angle to the case came in
March, when the Utah Legislature passed and
Gov. Gary Herbert signed a bill protecting people
who are using drugs, and who call emergency

from being prosecuted for the drug use. Palmer’s

a $225,000 grant and a $250,000 loan from the
Utah Division of Drinking Water.
In April, the city awarded the main contract
for just under $7 million to Johansen Construction Inc. (JCI) of Mt. Pleasant. A separate
contract with a drilling contractor covered of a
new well just off S.R. 28 between Gunnison and
Fayette.
In June, the city council voted to essentially
double water rates. The bill for the average user
within the city limits went up almost $19 per
month, while the charge for the average out-oftown user went up $20-plus per month.
By the end of October, the well was drilled,
but workers were trying to get silt out of the shaft
so they could turn on the pump and find out how
much water the well would produce. A water
treatment building, located south of the well,
was almost complete and ready for equipment
to be installed. Excavation for a water tank on
the “G” Hill west of town had started.
By mid-November, JCI had laid miles of new
pipe, and installation of lines in town was rated
at 95 percent complete. But a lot of pipe still
needed to be extended to out-of-town customers.
And the job of connecting 700 individual homes
and businesses to the system remained.
At year end, the city was working with local
legislators to request a one-time state appropriation to help with costs. The appropriation would
recognize the burden the city faces in building a
system large enough to supply both its own residents and the Central Utah Correctional Facility.

No. 6: Fairview finishes first phase

No. 4: Ongoing widening of U.S. 89.
In May 2014, the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) announced that the second
phase of a project to improve U.S. 89 from
Manti to Pigeon Hollow Junction would soon
get underway.
The first phase of the three-phase project
was completed in 2008 when a major section of
road midway between Manti and Ephraim was
widened and turn lanes added at a cost of $5.5
million.
The second phase, which began last July,
covered 4 miles from Keller Lane, the terminus
of the first-phase work, south to the Manti City
boundary. The project cost was $4.5 million.
The 2014 project included removing the old
road, widening the road, auxiliary lanes, drainage
systems, new striping and signage.
The project took about three months, during
which traffic was cut to one lane in each direction. Motorists experienced delays as flaggers
and pilot cars guided them around construction
areas.
Near the end of the year, UDOT announced it
planned to move forward with the third phase in
2015. The $5-2 million phase, which will dovetail with the Main Street Beautification Project
in Ephraim, will include repaving the highway
from Larson Lane south of Ephraim, through
town, and north to Pigeon Hollow Junction.
The area from 700 North to the junction will
be widened, resulting in the same types of delays
as in the Manti-to-Ephraim phases.
The second phase of the three-phase U.S. 89
widening project began in July and ended in
early December.

No. 8: Legal scuffle with CUAC ends
and Granary Art Center steps in
A citizen recreation planning group that
started 10 years ago came up with the idea of
building a multifaceted sports park in Fairview.
During 2014, the city started making that dream
a reality.
The first phase of park development, which
takes up 3 acres of a 14-acre site, now has two
lighted tennis courts, a lighted basketball court,
two lighted sand volleyball courts, six horseshoe
pits, a playground and a parking lot.
On Pioneer Day, 18 teams of two people each
participated in a “Scrambalooza,” competing in
basketball, volleyball,
tennis and horseshoe.
About 200-250 people
participated.
Construction relied
heavily on volunteer efforts, including 11 Eagle
projects. A substantial
amount of money came
from Fairview residents
and former residents
who contributed to scrap
metal drives, checked
off donations on their
utility bills or simply
wrote checks.

ment of Natural Resources (DNR) via the U.S. Parks Service. But
under the rules of the grant program, the city
got the money only after it submitted receipts
for expenditures on the park.
To get upfront money, the city also got a
$369,000 loan from the Utah Community Impact
Board (CIB). After park features went in, the city
submitted $200,000 in receipts to DNR, then
used the DNR money to pay back $200,000 of
the $369,000 loan.
This left $169,000 the city has to pay back,
which translates to payments of $9,000 per year,
an amount the city is confident it can afford.
The second phase is scheduled to begin in
2016. Plans aren’t final but people in Fairview

Sanpete’s lower proficiency scores in math, language arts and science

The historic granary on Main Street in
Ephraim is owned by the city and has long
functioned as an art gallery.
In June 2012 the Ephraim City Council asked
Central Utah Art Center (CUAC), the arts organization operating the gallery, to leave. The city
council said CUAC’s contemporary art focus
didn’t fit local needs and interests, and some or
the works shown were offensive.
The city filed an eviction suit in state court.
CUAC responded with a first amendment suit
in federal court. An out-of-court settlement was
reached in late 2013 and announced in early
2014.
The settlement cost the city $60,000. Under
terms of the settlement, the city also issued a
statement saying it supported the constitutional
rights of free expression: “Ephraim City and
its leadership believe that the freedom to create
and display artwork, even artwork that may be
unpopular or repugnant to some of its audience,
is a protected Constitutional freedom worthy of
respect.”
Shortly after the suit was settled, a new organization, the Granary Art Center, headed by
Snow College art faculty members Kelly Brooks
and Amy Jorgensen, took over.
Volunteers put in more than 600 hours to
renovate the gallery for reoccupancy, and the
first exhibit opened in April 2014 with a large
turnout.
Granary Art Center started offering weekly
art workshops for children as well as Saturday
art classes geared to teens and adults.
The granary building housed the Central Utah
Art Center for a decade before Granary Art
Center moved in and began to hold exhibits
this last year.
In November, Granary Art Center announced
the opening, in cooperation with Snow College,
the Utah Humanities Council, the Utah Museum
of Fine Arts at the University of Utah and the
Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C., of
one of the most ambitious projects in local arts
history—a multi-site exhibit called “Journey
Stories” running to February 2015.

Outgoing South Sanpete school board member offers thanks and advice
As my term on the South Sanpete
School Board ends, I would like to give
some thanks and a little advice.
Thanks to the voters who trusted me to
represent them in governing and improving our schools. Thanks to citizens who
willing pay for our great school system.
Thanks to the other board members and
district administrators; they are wonderful
people and have become good friends.
And thanks to all the district employees,
especially the teachers, who are so committed and dedicated to educating our
children. You are phenomenal.
Much of the following advice is
obvious, and much of it is already being
followed.
Teachers: Challenge your students.
Inspire them. Lead them to love learning.
Mold character and open minds. You are
involved in the most noble profession, so
act and dress like professionals. Continue
to improve. Love the students.
Principals: Be educational leaders.
BY
LARRY
SMITH
Set an example of great teaching. Support the
teachers; treat them like professionals. Seek
their advice. Love the students.
Staff: Never lose sight of the important work
you support. You are essential. You can make
the lives of students better.
School board: Craft simple, practical and
clear policies. Embrace well-conducted and corroborated educational research. Communicate
a strong vision of education to everyone in the
district. Be united in improving education. Be
ambassadors for education. Don’t be satisfied
with better-than-average.
District administrators: Hire the best people.
Great teachers are the key to great education.
Work with the board to engage the public. Be
ambassadors for education.
Students: Have fun, but also work hard
and take school seriously. Education is the key
to a happy and fulfilling life. Become life-long
learners. Help other students. Be kind.
Parents: Be involved. Attend school functions. Talk to your children’s teachers and support them. Make education a priority at home;
read to your small children 20 minutes per night
and encourage your older children to read too.
Citizens: Continue to elect legislators who
love education and make it a high priority.
Research the new Utah Core Standards; while
not perfect, they are better than the old core
curriculum. Continue to be willing to pay for an
outstanding school system, but don’t be satisfied
with the status quo.
Legislators: Support public education more
than ever before. Make Utah 49th nationwide in
per-pupil funding. Pay the teachers a salary that a
family can comfortably live on (without the need
for moonlighting). Increase opportunities for
professional development for teachers. Increase
local control. Well-meaning efforts to improve
education are appreciated, but be careful to
not impose too many new mandates on already
overburdened teachers.
Once again, I thank everyone for letting me
be involved in the South Sanpete School District.
It has been a choice experience. I enjoyed it and
hope I made a difference.
Larry Smith of Ephraim is completing three terms
on the South Sanpete School Board, including
one term as board president.

Mt. Pleasant audit shows no major issues
By Sean Wardwell
Managing Editor
MT. PLEASANT—City
officials received the results of
Mt. Pleasant’s audit of the last
fiscal year on Dec. 9, showing
the city’s net position increased
by $494,821.
The audit, performed by Larson & Company of Spanish Fork,
showed no major issues with
how the city handles its finances,
nor any regulatory breaches.
Jon Haderlie, who presented
the audit’s findings to the coun-
cil, also reported he encountered
no difficulties or disagreements
with management.
However, Haderlie said there
was one issue his company found
that was a cause of concern in the
areas of authorizations, custody,
record keeping and budget reconciliation. But he was quick to
point out that the finding wasn’t a
negative thing, rather a reminder
to the staff.
“In a perfect system, no one
person should handle more than
one type of function. We noted the
city lacks complete separation of
duties, which results in weaknesses
in internal controls, and this deficiency results from the limited
number of staff members available
to the city,” said Haderlie.
“We understand you can’t go
hire a bunch of people, and we
understand not every duty can be
separated. So, what do you do? Our
recommendation is do the very best
you can to separate duties.”
He continued, “If the same
person does all four of those
things, you’re opening yourself
up for risk. When duties can’t be
separated, compensating controls
should be in place. I want to point
out we understand you are taking
steps, so this is just an annual
reminder to keep doing it.”
In other business, the council
heard a report from James Cluff,
a representative of Salt Lake
City-based SplashPadsUSA.
Cluff said it would be possible
to install a splash pad with a concrete base and a recycled water
filtration system for $75,000, for
which his company could possibly get the city a grant covering
half the cost.
He also said expenses for the
pad would run roughly $500 a
month and that his company had
installed splash pads in Escalante
for $60,000 and Fillmore for
$250,000.
The council took no action on
the splash pad but thanked Cluff
for the information.
Blow in to see us for all your

throughout this year. We wish
everyone a wonderful New Year!

Wha
What

es
By Lyle Fl
Fletcher
Staff w
writer
The actual meaning of Sanpete is “bulrush” or “tule.”
A bulrush is a kind of
rush—a plant that grows in
swamps and along the shores of
lakes.
After this meaning was
discovered and many reliable
sources were consulted, a summary of the evidence gathered
was then presented to an eminent scholar who concurred with
the “bulrush” or “tule” meaning
of Sanpete.
Since this meaning is news
to most people, some convincing evidence will be presented
here to establish the correct
meaning of Sanpete (and also
the variants Sanpitch and Sanpits) using reliable sources.
Language
The most reliable source
for the meaning of Sanpete
connects the name Sanpitch
to its English equivalent. The
“Proceedings of a Council held
by O.H. Irish, superintendent of
Indian Affairs …” dated June
1865 mentions various Native
Americans and gives (1) their
names, (2) the English meaning
of these names and (3) the tribal
affiliations of those individuals.
According to the proceedings,
“Sanpitch (Bull Rush), Pansook (Otter), and Que-o-gand
(Bear) represented Utah Indians.
Thus Sanpitch is given the
meaning of “bull rush,” which
properly joined is “bulrush.”
That this meaning is the
correct meaning is corroborated
by many other reliable sources,
including “Southern Paiutes”
by LaVan Martineau. Martineau
interviewed Native Americans
starting in the 1940s for his
book.
He says the origin of Sanpete is “Sawmpeets’,” meaning
“Tule.” He also mentions in
two places that “Sawmpeev”
means “Tule, Bulrush Scirpus.”
(Scirpus is the Latin name for
the genus of plants.)
Martineau also says “Sawmpee’tutseng” or “Sawmpeetseng” means “Tule people.”
(An individual, thus, would be
called “Sawmpee’tuts” or “Sawmpeets,” based on the singular/
plural principles outlined in his
book.)
“Sawmpeets” sounds very
much like “Sampits,” which is

ple in the au

authoriolume “Hand
tative multivolume
“Handbook
rican Indian
of North American
Indians.”
“Sanpete” would be an
English way of taking what appears to be a plural and making
it singular, and thus Sanpete,
Sanpitch and Sanpits are all
variants of the same root meaning of “tule” or “bulrush.”
A book called “The Ute Indians of Utah, Colorado and New
Mexico” by Virginia McConnell
Simmons puts the Sanpits as
among the “tule people.”
She writes, “East of the
Pahvants were the ‘tule people,’
the Sanpits (Sahpeech, Sawmpeet, San Pitch, San Pete) who
occupied the upper valley of the
Sevier River where Manti and
Mt. Pleasant are situated. Early
white observers considered
this group to be comparatively
poor and sometimes called
them ‘Diggers,’ but the Sanpits
enjoyed good hunting territory
and were far from destitute.
They sometimes roamed far
afield to the southeast. Sanpits
were eventually relocated to the
Uintah Reservation.”
Thus, three reliable printed
sources refer to Sanpete/ Sanpitch/Sanpits as meaning “tule”
or “bulrush.”
Naming Conventions
and Geography
In addition to these printed
sources, there are numerous other lines of evidence that could
be considered. For instance,
another line of evidence is the
naming conventions of tribes or
clans. Native Americans often
had tribal or clan names based
on geography or on the major
resources they used (e.g., “tule
people” or “cattail eaters”).
Not all of the evidence can
be presented here, of course, but
the various lines of evidence
were offered for evaluation to
the most respected authority on
tules/bulrushes and marsh-related plants: Catherine S. Fowler,
a former professor of University
of Nevada, Reno.
Fowler concurred with the
“tule” or “bulrush” meaning of
Sanpete and found the lines of
evidence consistent with this
meaning.
She’s an ethnobotanist who
has worked for decades on
numerous Native American
research questions, including
linguistic questions, and her
opinion is one of the most
reliable and respected in her
areas of study. Her husband,
Don Fowler, is also an eminent
scholar on Native Americans.
Catherine’s book, “Tule
Technology,” shows how tules/
bulrushes were used widely in
the Great Basin until very recent
times for a multitude of purposes. In the Great Basin there
are hundreds of springs and
marshes, and there were even
more in earlier days before the
settlers altered the waterways
for agriculture.
It should be pointed out that
most water bodies in the Great
Basin have greatly shrunk in
size during the last 150 years.
Fowler cites one marsh having
shrunk so it was 11 times smaller in 1989 than it was 90 years
prior.
In “The Broken Land,”
Frank L. DeCourten speaks
of Malheur Lake in Nevada:
“In the past fifteen years it has
varied from five hundred to fifty
thousand acres in size.” Thus it
can increase/decrease 100 fold
in 15 years. “Malheur by some
estimates is the nation’s largest
freshwater marsh,” he writes.
Marshes in
Sanpete Valley
The final line of evidence
presented here concerns the
marshes in Sanpete Valley itself.
In “Saga of the Sanpitch,”
Robert D. Nielson gives a short
historical report in 1998 “about
the entire watershed and the
environment as it existed before
1925” in Sanpete Valley.
“The Sanpitch River was
over 50 miles long from its upper origins ... to its confluence
with the Sevier River near Gunnison,” he writes. “Its course
was varied and its flow erratic,
depending on winter storms and
snow melt.
“There were broad areas
called the ‘swamps’ where there
was low stream flow. The main
swamp was as much as 2 miles
wide and extended northerly for
10 miles above the narrows near
what is now Manti.
“The swamp supported
dense growth of sedges, bulrushes and grasses on the muck
soils built up over many years.
... During the flooded period,
October to June, and before
and after the cold, icy winter,
migrating waterfowl were seasonal occupants en route to and
from their winter habitats.”
He also writes: “Sedges,
rushes and grasses were in the
swamp areas.”
Confirmation of this large
swamp or marsh in Sanpete
Valley is found in the Bureau
of Land Management’s webpages. Land surveys in 1856
in the valley show an extensive
section of marsh—over 23
square miles at that time.
Albert Antrei in “The Other
49-ers” writes: “The Sanpitch
River ... was once a respectable barrier to crossing the
valley.”
He continues: “In the central valley, at its lowest point,
the water table is very high; in
fact, of the 220 square miles
that comprise the valley floor,
fully 70y square miles have a
water table of 10 feet or less
beneath the surface.

actually is a swamp, with the
water table at or above ground
level. Paradoxically for an arid
region, the water problem over
a large percentage of the valley
floor is one of drainage, rather
than irrigation.”
Albert Smith, an early settler in Sanpete Valley, wrote
in his journal, “There are 10
miles and, perhaps more, of
marsh that is covered with
rushes and grasses.”
Uses of Tules by
Native Americans
Tule mats have been found
in locations throughout Utah.
The original publication on
Fremont Indians in 1931 by
Morss refers to “tule mats” that
were found in seven of the 27
caves researchers examined.
All of these are within about
75 miles of Sanpete Valley (as
the crow flies).
Marwitt in “Handbook
of North American Indians”
says: “Along the Basin-Plateau
boundary, the typical Sevier
Fremont site is a small hamlet
or open settlement situated on
an alluvial fan near a canyon
mouth and convenient to a
dependable source of water in
the form of a perennial stream.
With the exception of … sites
of debatable classification discussed above, the settlements
also tend to be relatively close
to marshes.”
He adds, “At Backhoe
Village [in Sevier County] and
perhaps elsewhere in the Sevier area, marsh resources appear to have been the primary
component in the subsistence
economy and the most crucial
factor that allowed sedentary
villages to be present in the
locality.”
Thus, “permanent settlements were made possible in
large part by exploiting productive marshlands.” Evidence
indicates that Native Americans
in Sevier County used corn and
cattails as food sources.
We know, however, based
on investigations of early sites
in nearby areas, that Native
Americans were also able to
remain in the area by taking
advantage of one of the major
resources available in the large
marsh in Sanpete Valley: tules/
bulrushes.
More information on what
Native American life was like
before the settlers arrived in
1849 is available in Steven R.
Simms, “Ancient Peoples of the
Great Basin and the Colorado
Plateau.”
From these reliable sources,
we now know Native Americans
in the area were taking advantage of the extensive marsh with
bulrushes and were known as
the bulrush people or the tule
people.
Thus, the name of the people
and their valley sounded something like Sanpits or Sanpitch
and became Sanpete.
Sanpete Valley or Tule Valley or Bulrush Valley. It all
means the same.
Or does it?
The question “What does
Sanpete mean?” cannot be
answered solely by traipsing
back into history or delving into
books.
Doesn’t the name Sanpete
also mean what the people in the

Th
Authors reward Ephraim boy devoted to family with books
By Shirley Bahlmann
Staff writer
EPHRAIM—While not all
avid readers turn into authors,
most authors spend their formative years as devoted readers.
With that kind of shared background, writers easily identify
with children who are perfectly
content to spend hours with a
book as a companion.
When a group of authors
found out that Jacob Johnson of
Ephraim not only loves to read
but also takes on the responsibility of caring for his younger
siblings, which includes a nonverbal brother with autism, they
rallied to reward him for the
extra help he gives his family.
As the oldest of Matt and
Sarah Johnson’s six children,
Jacob is frequently asked to
babysit while Dad is at work and
Mom works intermittent nights
and attends Snow College in
pursuit of a nursing degree.
While older children have
been tending younger siblings
for eons of time, Jacob’s duties
are compounded not only by
having five younger siblings to
supervise but also by caring for
his 12-year-old autistic brother,
Paul.
Paul is able to walk and feed
himself but has vision compromised by ocular albinism.
So Jacob takes on the responsibility of cleaning his brother
up after meals, changing his
clothes, keeping him out of
things he shouldn’t get into and
calming him if he gets upset, all
without Paul being able to say
what he needs.
On Christmas Day, when
Jacob opened a box full of
autographed books donated by
20 authors, including Brandon
Sanderson, James Dashner,
J. Scott Savage, Jennifer A.
Nielsen and Janette Rallison, he
said, “This is epic! Oh, they’re
all signed! That’s awesome. Authors are thoroughly awesome.”
His younger siblings opened
children’s books and Amazon
gift cards from authors who sent
them because they didn’t write
young adult books, along with a
set of blocks made by author Valerie Giberson Ipson, who wanted
to make sure Paul received a gift
too. “It’s so fun to be a part of
this,” Ipson wrote online.
“Book after book,” Jacob
exulted as he uncovered all his
literary treasures, “this could
last me almost an entire school
year!”
“Or just the Christmas
break,” Matt added.
“This is amazing,” Sarah
said, watching her children
open books and play with the
blocks.
When thanked for their
contributions, Braden Bell
summarized the feeling of all
the authors when he wrote,
“I’m glad to be a part of it.”
Author Wendy Riggs Burr
completed the sentiment when
she wrote, “This is what Christmas is all about.”

No. 10: Addie Fausett story opens the hearts of
many worldwide
Addie Lynn Fausett (right), still in her pajamas, is carried by
her mother, Tami Fausett, inside the Fountain Green post
office to get their mail—thousands of cards per day, and
many packages.
The local LDS church became the collection point for a huge
volume of toys and gifts. Addie visited there and enjoyed playing
on the large pile of stuffed animals.
The North Sanpete High School drill team honored Addie and
her sisters at a basketball game.
Darcie Allred of Fountain Green felt something should be
done in the community to brighten Addie’s life. She organized a

A 6-year-old girl from Fountain Green who has a mysterious
illness that caused her to stop growing at age 3, took center stage
in many hearts during the Christmas season.
The girl’s grandmother, Maree Jensen, posted a Facebook
request for Christmas cards for her. The response from all over
the nation and world was overwhelming
Addie Fausett, daughter of Tami Fausett, and her two older
sisters, Shayley (age 10) and Audree (age 7), received tens of
thousands of Christmas cards, along with toys and gifts, and a
trip to Sea World in San Diego to see dolphins, one of Addie’s
favorite things.
The Christmas cards and other mail kept coming and coming
and coming. Postal workers from throughout the county were
dispatched to Fountain Green to help handle the volume. The
record was 40,000 pieces in one day.
Tami reported that she and the grandparents read cards to
Addie all day, and Addie loved it.
Before long, Tami was unable to hang all the cards in her
home. So volunteers at the city offices began opening the cards
and hanging them on the walls there.
PUBLIC NOTICES
light parade, which was held on the cold, clear night of Dec. 23,
attracting 70 fire engines and other lighted vehicles. Addie watched
the parade in her mother’s arms in the post office, and they even
ventured out into the cold for a short while.
The fireworks at the end of the parade seemed to culminate the
efforts of so many brighten Addie’s life during what was probably
her last Christmas.

If you have experienced frozen water lines or water meters in the past
or if you have a new water meter installation, you may wish to consider
leaving a small stream of water running when temperatures drop below
15 degrees above zero.
When temperatures drop below 15 degrees, particularly when the
temperature becomes sub zero, both water meters with a history of having
freezing problems in the past and new installations where the ground is
not compacted may freeze.
Once again if you feel your water service is in danger of freezing or
if you are going to be out of town for a few days, you are encouraged to
leave a small stream of water running to prevent freeze up.

don’t take terrorism seriously.
He wanted the administration
of Snow College and the police
force to take action. He made
several statements to law enforcement and other individuals
that it was more than just a joke.
“His intent from his own
mouth was to affect the op-
eration of the school,” says
Daniels. “He wanted to send a
message to Snow College about
the importance of taking these
types of threats seriously and of
being prepared for terrorism.”
While he may have seen
himself as a type of Paul Revere
delivering an urgent message to
an unwitting populace, the way
he went about it was outside the
lines of the law. In one interview, he stated he didn’t have
any animosity or anger toward
Snow College. He thought they
would just beef up security a bit.
But because of the things he
wrote, Snow College changed
the way they did business,
bringing on extra law enforcement for their Homecoming
events, closely monitoring
access gates and stadium restrooms and closing down some
of their buildings.
“In this day and age, any of
these threats have to be taken
seriously,” Daniels says. “Law
enforcement and Snow College
did exactly what they were supposed to do. As a result, the case
turned out as it should have.”

(Continued from A9)
only five for 21 (24 percent) in
the game. Snow finished six for
13 (46 percent) from beyond the
three-point line. The Red Devils
also hurt themselves by turning
the ball over 26 times to 21 turnovers for the Badgers.
The Red Devils were better
controlling the boards, pulling
down 41 rebounds, including 22
on the offensive end, to only 30
for the Badgers. “We gave up too
many offensive rebounds, and we
had too many unforced turnovers.
We need to clamp down on the
defensive end and take care of the
ball,” Visger said. “We didn’t do a
good job rebounding short misses,
and on offense we had some silly
turnovers.”
“I’m proud of the way we
finished the game,” Visger said.
“We had a chance to pull away,
being up by eight with about five
minutes to go, and they closed
the gap. But we did find a way
to finish the game; this team has
a knack for that.”
With the Badger schedule
resuming league play on Jan. 8
when they host perennial power
Southern Idaho, Visger says her
team needs to “get back into
game mode and play with a sense
of urgency from the start to the
finish, especially defensively.”
The Badgers continued play
in the Holiday Classic on Monday night by taking on 10-1
Umpqua Community College
which beat 3-7 Yakima Valley in
the first round (score unavailable
at press time).
Lower Columbia, now 6-6 on
the season, will take on Yakima
Valley.
Six of the eight teams in the
tournament are from Washington and play in the Northwest
Athletic Conference (NWAC).
Besides Snow, the other outsider
in the tournament is North Idaho
College which will play with
Snow for one more season in
the SWAC before jumping to the
NWAC next season.
