Utah — Utah Highway Patrol are now detailing what led up to a standoff that closed Interstate 15 near Nephi for about an hour Wednesday a man ran from a traffic stop before crashing and refusing to cooperate with officials Utah Highway Patrol says that on Wednesday at 3:38 p.m. multiple calls were placed saying that a white Ford van traveling north on I-15 was driving recklessly A trooper located the van near mile marker 214 and initiated a traffic stop When officials attempted to take the driver back to their patrol car for sobriety tests they say he instead ran back to his van and drove off A pursuit was started following the van for about 6 miles before the vehicle ran off the road to the left and struck a cable barrier the driver barricaded himself inside the van and wouldn't comply with the officials' commands The Juab County Sheriff's Office and several other agencies assisted in closing the Interstate in both directions as first responders worked to approach the van Nephi City officers also responded to the scene with an armored vehicle they saw what appeared to be a rifle in the back of the van The Utah County Community Emergency Response Team approached the van and deployed gas inside the driver exited the vehicle and was taken into custody The driver is now being held at the Juab County Jail no gun was found but officers did find marijuana Visit the NSSF

tailored for hunting weight rifles is the next big frontier of sport shooting is probably because I love western mountain elk hunting so much The weekend shooting sport really compliments building the skills to chase those once-in-a-lifetime type hunts I was policy advisor for a governor and was heavily involved in firearm policy and recruiting companies to my state But my personal roots in that

Utah we were able to pass a ballot measure to change the state constitution to add a fundamental right to hunt I think we need that in every state constitution I loved following that up by passing bills in South Dakota and Wyoming that made it legal to take predators with thermal and night vision I believe the industry needs to protect the appropriate use of new technologies we risk people that don’t understand or use those innovations regulating them out of existence I’ve taken a recent interest in trying to improve my golf game I shoot a lot more birdies hunting than on the golf course

Daybell on April 16 presenting messages offering a glimpse into her unraveling marriage to Charles Vallow said she had not decided whether to testify she told the court she did not plan to present any other evidence in her defense Closing arguments were expected to begin before the jury at 10:30 a.m One of the messages presented on the prosecution's final day of introducing evidence was a cryptic note Daybell wrote to her brother just two days before Cox fatally shot Vallow in the couple's Chandler home presented in court by prosecutor Treena Kay was part of a series of digital records pulled from Daybell’s iCloud account using an email account under the name “Karen Walker” with the address kkwalker75@yahoo.com a detective with the Chandler Police Department testified on April 16 that Lori Daybell created the email account in April 2019 which Vallow later discovered and saved to his iCloud account The account was used to invite Chad Daybell first to Houston where Lori Daybell — then Lori Vallow — was staying with Charles Vallow and then to Arizona after Lori Daybell had moved there Lori Daybell — posing as her husband Charles Vallow — asked Chad Daybell to help write a book about Charles Vallow’s baseball career Charles Vallow discovered the messages in June 2019 and emailed Chad Daybell and his wife He also forwarded the emails to his brother-in-law expressing fears about his wife's increasingly erratic behavior Lori Daybell and her brother Alex Cox exchanged several cryptic text messages that referenced evil spirits and spiritual transformation messages showed Lori Daybell texted Alex Cox: “Thank you for standing by me Nephi is a revered figure in the Book of Mormon who is commanded by God to slay another man Alex Cox shot Charles Vallow and claimed self-defense Minutes after Charles Vallow was believed to have been shot Alex Cox called Lori Daybell twice before calling police Messages revealed that weeks after the shooting Lori Daybell sent Chad Daybell — saved in her phone contacts under the nickname “Bubby” — a set of images showing Charles Vallow’s $1 million life insurance policy Lori Vallow is sending photographs of the life insurance policy — original and the change — to Chad Daybell,” Duncan said Daybell has already been convicted in Idaho in the deaths of her children All three were killed in the months after Charles Vallow's shooting Lori Daybell has come to be known as the "Doomsday Mom" because of the apocalyptic beliefs she shared with Chad Daybell 'Cheek to cheek' messages between Lori Vallow and Chad DaybellLater on April 16 prosecutors walked jurors through messages between Lori Daybell and her niece Among the messages was one from Lori Daybell to Melanie Boudreaux: “It’s coming to a head The two women discussed how Melanie Boudreaux could pretend to be sick in order to remain close to her husband without raising suspicion — a tactic Duncan testified was used to monitor Brandon Boudreaux’s movements Lori Daybell replied with support and guidance calling Melanie’s decision part of her "mission." Prosecutors have alleged that Lori Daybell was involved in a failed attempt to murder Brandon Boudreaux Boudreaux was described as “z” — zombie — in messages between Lori Daybell and Alex Cox Prosecutors showed increasingly intimate messages between Lori Daybell and Chad Daybell after the July 11 Cheek to cheek,” Lori Daybell texted Chad Daybell the messages between Lori Daybell and Chad Daybell Lori Daybell told Chad Daybell she wouldn’t be receiving her husband's life insurance payout to which she previously believed she was entitled So it was probably Ned before we got rid of him,” Lori Daybell wrote referring to her deceased husband as “Ned,” a name Lori Daybell had previously used to describe someone she believed was possessed “They can't tell me to who of course but it's done." She would still get $4,000 a month from Social Security Lori Daybell pressed him on a message in which she referenced the Book of Mormon figure Nephi — a passage prosecutors earlier implied was a coded order to kill “Do you have knowledge that my text message meant that at all?” Lori Daybell asked Lori Daybell also scrutinized the Chandler Police Department’s decision not to test a baseball bat for trace amounts of blood pointing out that the bat had been swabbed but never analyzed Lori Daybell said the bat was used during the altercation that ended with Charles Vallow’s death Duncan said that investigators did not see any visible blood She argued the results could have revealed whether her brother Alex Cox had ever touched the bat or whether Charles Vallow had held it during a struggle Tylee said in her interview that Charles Vallow took the bat from her The judge sustained an objection to that question instructing the jury to disregard the reference to Tylee’s police interview Helen Anderson passed away peacefully at age 93 in her home in Nephi and wife during her beautiful 93 years of life Family was very important to her and she was the center point of the family She loved to gather as many as possible for holidays reunions and especially Christmas Eve.  UT for years and then in 1963 moved to Nephi She went on to raise her 7 kids while owning and operating 2 businesses Duane and Helen opened the Flaming Rock Café and Anderson Western Wear Helen managed both of these while Duane mostly worked out of town After her retirement from these businesses she could not be idle and worked for Nephi Lumber for several years and used all of that money for Christmas.  She loved to visit with people and her favorite time to do that was over morning coffee She loved to travel and she was fortunate to go all over the world in her adventures She also loved a good road trip and was known for the almanac in her head.  Helen is survived by her children Hal (Elaine) Anderson Kathleen (Richard) Whimpey and (Pat) Anderson She was preceded in death by her husband Duane Anderson and brothers Ross and Johnny Anderson.  Services will be held January 4th at 11:00 am at the Cinder Creek Event Center NEPHI — There sure are a lot of cows in Utah Farms with rich agricultural histories are located throughout the state there is one part of that history many ranchers hope will never happen again "Without being able to process animals it was just backed up all over the state," said Korey Wright Wright is a rancher in Juab County and remembers during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic when there were beef shortages at grocery stores The empty shelves weren't because of a lack of cows but more because of a lack of processing plants with so many facilities forced to shut down "We couldn't even feed our own community," Wright said he and his team built the Bar-W Beef facility in Nephi It will give ranchers another option to process their animals instead of waiting for some of the bigger regional facilities to be available "We don't know whatever is going to come down the road in the future but we have the processing now and the ability and it makes us pretty comfortable and happy," Wright said The grand opening of the Bar-W Beef facility was last week but it is already getting plenty of attention from ranchers outside the state There is a lot of new technology put into it such as a wastewater treatment facility and new hygienically designed equipment to reduce contamination risk "It's fun to watch the people come in from back east because they come in and they have never seen anything like this," said Jeremy Lynn "It is rare to see a brand new processing facility with brand new equipment." processing facility and USDA inspector on site They will also buy cows from ranchers throughout the state who want to sell them Wright said it creates an environment where people can know exactly where their food came from "I think the most important thing about that is traceability everyone can trace their beef.' We have our own that we raise and we buy local from farmers all over the state of Utah." the facility is harvesting about 40-50 cows a day and can supply food for nearly 20,000 families a month but can do even more if another pandemic or emergency hits "We want to be able to provide and take care of people," Lynn said There is even a market at the facility for people to buy food and sign up for subscription deliveries Products are placed for sale at Bar-W in Nephi KSL-TV)Wright and his team are also planning a steakhouse and burger shop to open this coming summer on the south end of Nephi which will provide jobs to locals and food to people passing through the area "Once you taste the quality of our beef you'll want more," said Wright with a smile take care of our own and that's one of the greatest things about it." – Many of the things necessary to do to win the New Orleans Saints did in the first half Sunday against the Buccaneers Many of the things necessary to do to lose

Nelson described a pattern for unity found in 4 Nephi in the Book of Mormon This chapter records how the people lived after the Savior visited them taught them and established His Church among them “God has invited all to come unto Him. There is room for everyone,” President Nelson wrote in his article titled “A Pattern for Unity in Jesus Christ.” “We may differ in our cultures such differences fade in their significance and are superseded by our overriding desire to be one — so that we may be His.” Below are seven principles of unity President Nelson outlined from 4 Nephi: The chapter begins: “The disciples of Jesus had formed a church of Christ in all the lands round about. And [people] did come unto them, and did truly repent of their sins” (4 Nephi 1:1) “We unite around the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,” President Nelson said the Holy Ghost witnesses of the truth to their heart They can then accept the Savior’s invitation to have faith in Him and repent and He becomes a unifying force in their life 4 Nephi 1:1 also says those who came to the Church and repented of their sins were baptized and received the Holy Ghost President Nelson explained: “When we make and keep covenants we take the Lord’s name upon us as individuals we travel the covenant path both individually and collectively Our covenant relationship with God gives us a common cause and a common identity.” The record continues: “There were no contentions and disputations among them, and every man did deal justly one with another. And they had all things common among them; therefore there were not rich and poor, bond and free, but they were all made free, and partakers of the heavenly gift” (4 Nephi 1:2-3) Being unified means not only treating one another as equals “but we must also truly view one another as equals and feel in our hearts that we are equal — equal before God The people in 4 Nephi “did walk after the commandments which they had received from their Lord and their God” (4 Nephi 1:12) Obedience to the teachings of the Lord and His servants is essential to becoming unified “This includes our commitment to obey the commandment to repent whenever we fall short and to help one another as we strive to do better and be better every day.” The scriptural account also states that the people “[continued] in fasting and prayer, and in meeting together oft both to pray and to hear the word of the Lord” (4 Nephi 1:12) President Nelson said weekly worship meetings are an important opportunity to find strength individually and collectively Real unity is not attainable without love, President Nelson wrote. “There was no contention in the land, because of the love of God which did dwell in the hearts of the people” (4 Nephi 1:15) It is the principal characteristic of a true follower of Jesus Christ … As we all seek to have the love of God dwelling in our hearts the miracle of unity will seem completely natural to us.” President Nelson noted that the labels that had divided the people for hundreds of years receded as they viewed themselves — and everyone else — according to their relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ “There were no robbers, nor murderers, neither were there Lamanites, nor any manner of -ites; but they were in one, the children of Christ, and heirs to the kingdom of God” (4 Nephi 1:17) The most important identifiers are those related to divine origin and purpose — a child of God a child of the covenant and a disciple of Jesus Christ “As each of us strives to incorporate these essential elements of unity into our lives,” President Nelson concluded, “it may be said of us, as it was of them, ‘Surely there could not be a happier people among all the people who had been created by the hand of God’ (4 Nephi 1:16).” Read President Nelson’s full article on liahona.ChurchofJesusChrist.org Utah (KUTV) — UPDATE: The suspect in a vehicle pursuit who refused to surrender to police after crashing on Interstate 15 in Juab County has been taken into custody Interstate 15 was closed in both directions after a vehicle pursuit ended in a crash and standoff Cameron Roden with the Utah Highway Patrol said officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop when the driver led them on a chase Officers from multiple agencies responded to the scene Several police vehicles were parked across both lanes and the shoulder of the interstate blocking other vehicle from passing by while officers worked in the area Details about what led to the attempted traffic stop were not available It is with love in our hearts that we celebrate the life of a great lady Kay was the glue that has always held us together She would call and check on each of us often She was both a second mother and a second grandmother to many “I have two grandmas and a Kay.” Both family and friends will now have another guardian angel to watch over us.  She was the third daughter of Miles and Maxine Park Anderson welcomed her with love in their hearts from the very beginning then came along and they were a very loving family.  Kay married Douglas Thompson Carroll on May 22 They were sealed in the Manti Temple on July 5 Doug and Kay were the loving parents of two precious sons Kay was an amazing grandma to five grandsons and two granddaughters She loved and adored her grandchildren and they loved and adored their “Grandma Kay” She would do her best to support them in their many activities and in whatever was going on in their daily lives Kay was the perfect example of someone who knew how to serve others The best example of this was that she mourned with each of you when your loved ones passed away Because she grew up in a funeral home she learned how to help others that were grieving the loss of a loved one with the funeral home for many years.  Kay graduated from Juab High School and Hollywood Beauty School She also did hair for her special lady friends as well as the hair of the dear patrons of the funeral home.  She loved serving in the community in various ways She helped many years as an election judge when it was time to vote She worked with the Juab County Fair Queen Contest and other events at the fair for over twenty years She could be found at the public schools helping wherever she was needed She was a Cub Scout Den Mother to many fine young men She helped with charity and educational community programs We will never know how many crocheted hats she made for school kids Kay served in many callings through the years for her LDS ward family She loved being able to volunteer at our hospital She said that she inherited a whole new family among the staff and patients at the hospital Thank you CVMC personnel for the loving care you gave Kay when she really needed you.  and Dylan;

The Spirit asked Nephi if he believed the vision Lehi had spoken about, and Nephi responded, “I believe all the words of my father” (1 Nephi 11:5) Yet, when the Spirit asked in verse 16, “Knowest thou the condescension of God?,” Nephi admitted, “I do not know the meaning of all things” (verse 17) “You can have faith and peace of mind that one day there will be answers to all your questions Elder Wada shared that “the blessings associated with the trials in our lives are to become closer to the Lord and to develop the characteristics of charity even the pure love of Christ.” Such was the case with Nephi who despite difficulties received and acted on character-refining guidance from the Spirit “He never let go of what he gained spiritually and he remained true to the faith which his father When Nephi and his brothers returned to Jerusalem to obtain the plates of brass “Nephi’s family learned the critical elements of charity: being long-suffering seeking the will of the Lord rather than their own and bearing all things they received along the way.” Nephi continued to develop charity as his family traveled through the wilderness. “Their ability to bear their wilderness journey without murmuring is a great example of overcoming pride by being a disciple who is ‘not puffed up,’ ‘thinketh no evil’ and ‘envieth not’ (1 Corinthians 13:4-5).” Nephi didn’t succumb to opposition, said Elder Wada. “Even when his brothers would not support him and bound him with cords, Nephi continued in his love for them.” Despite swelling and soreness from the cords, he “did not murmur against the Lord because of [his] afflictions” (1 Nephi 18:16) Elder Wada said that through his endurance, Nephi learned to become kind and not be easily provoked, attributes of charity (see 1 Corinthians 13:4-5) “he completely trusted that the Lord would lead him to the promised land.” And He did “When you receive all things with gratefulness as Nephi did,” said Elder Wada and believe that all things will be made glorious.” 2:32 PM | Updated: 3:16 pm The hood of the Nephi Police Department's patrol car is covered by over 100 pounds of meth in plastic bags The meth was discovered in a vehicle traveling through Utah on Friday BY ALEX TUMALIP, KSL.COM NEPHI — An Illinois man who told police he was traveling to visit his family in California was arrested in Utah Friday after police reported finding 101 pounds of methamphetamine in his vehicle The seized drugs have an estimated street value of nearly $919,000 was booked into the Juab County Jail for investigation of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute Nephi police said they pulled over Navarro’s vehicle on I-15 at about 6:30 p.m because of a missing light on his license plate along with “several indicators consistent with drug trafficking activity.” Navarro told police he had traveled to California from Chicago on Dec but a police booking affidavit said the Nephi police officer who arrested him “was previously aware the vehicle Carlos was driving had traveled into California on Jan leaving less than 24 hours later.” The arrest report does not indicate how the officer was aware of that police said they “became suspicious he may be involved in some form of criminal activity,” the affidavit states A narcotic detection K-9 named Grizz smelled an odor coming from the rear passenger door leading to a discovery of two large black garbage bags behind the front passenger seat of the vehicle adding that the bags contained a total of 100 baggies containing methamphetamine and weighing more than 101 pounds Nephi police K-9 Grizz sits in front of over 100 pounds of meth he helped discover in the vehicle traveling through Utah Friday has been instrumental in helping seize over 250 pounds of narcotics since his acquisition in January 2023 Police said it was another addition to K-9 Grizz’s efforts in helping the Nephi Police Department seize more than 250 pounds of narcotics since being acquired in January 2023 “This operation is a testament to our unwavering commitment to combating drug trafficking in our communities,” Nephi Police Chief Michael Morgan said in a statement “By focusing on dismantling the criminal networks responsible for manufacturing and distributing dangerous substances we are taking significant steps to protect the safety and well-being of our residents
