Former Student, Teacher, Mentor, Friend-Keri Pugmire — Skyview, UTah High School Teacher of the Year
Keri Pugmire is a dedicated educator and community leader from Smithfield, Utah, recognized for her impactful work with students and her strong commitment to service. As the executive advisor for Sky View High School’s student government, she has been instrumental in organizing large-scale community service projects, most notably the annual Sky View High School food drive NewsBreak+1.
Community Impact
Pugmire’s leadership transformed the school’s food drive into a friendly competition between grades to collect the most donations. This year, in response to the government shutdown and the potential end of SNAP benefits, students raised nearly $1,000 and filled multiple truckloads of food for the Cache Community Food Pantry and the Cache Valley Food Bank KSLTV.com. She emphasized that while the competition began with class rivalry, it quickly evolved into a shared mission to help families in need, with donations surpassing the set goals by thousands of points KSLTV.com.
Student Engagement
Her approach fosters student involvement and empathy. Pugmire noted that students often start with the “why” of helping others, moving beyond the competition to focus on community impact. She has observed teachers and students alike being moved by the generosity and the tangible results of their efforts

250 America (Historyfacts.com)
In the spring and summer of 1787, a contingent of lawyers, businessmen, and other highly regarded state representatives met at the Pennsylvania State House to fine-tune the parameters of the shaky federal government that was established by the Articles of Confederation, the nation’s first stab at a framework for government. Known as the Constitutional Convention, this meeting was perhaps the most momentous occasion in the short history of the United States following the end of the Revolutionary War.
Even in the absence of founding fathers Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, who were serving ambassadorships in Europe, the gathering boasted a formidable collection of the nation’s leaders, including James Madison of Virginia, Roger Sherman of Connecticut, and the elderly but still razor-sharp Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania.
As described in The Summer of 1787: The Men Who Invented the Constitution, many of the 55 delegates carried with them a raft of ideas and some combination of deft oratory skills and a forceful personality to push others to action. As such, there was no shortage of passionate speeches and threats issued over clashing values, although it proved to be more of a challenge to find calmer voices willing to nudge the rest toward compromise, and an additional challenge to pull the oft-debated and revised proposals into a document with language that would stand the test of time.

Obituary - Connor James House (the boy who loved to sing in church)
From his first struggling breath to his last, Conner brought love, joy, and peace to everyone he came into contact with. While he couldn’t say much with words, he spoke volumes through his zest for life, facial expressions, vocalizations, and laugh.
Conner had the best laugh. He loved running people over with his wheelchair, playing catch, listening to the toilet flush, and any bodily sounds—especially farts! His laugh was infectious and could lighten any mood.
If you had the opportunity to know and interact with him, you have been blessed. If you had the opportunity to hear about or observe him, you have been blessed. And if you didn’t have the opportunity to meet him, we hope you will take the time to learn about him and the way our Father in Heaven used Conner to spread His love, and be lifted as we have been.
Conner’s family will miss him terribly, especially his parents, Brian and Susann; his brothers, Ian and Sean; his sisters-in-law, Danielle and September; his nephews, Roger and Scotty; and his niece, Callie. His niece Lillian has the blessing of meeting him in heaven before joining us here on earth. His grandparents, Richard and Betty Mills; all of his aunts, uncles, and cousins; and many dear friends will also miss him deeply.
Family members who preceded Conner and joyfully welcomed him to his heavenly home include his grandparents, Floyd and Phyllis House, and his favorite aunt, Alisha.
Conner defied the odds and blessed the people of this world for 30 wonderful years. He came into this world early, and he left it early, and we are grateful for every blessed minute we had with him!
Thank you to the Garden City ambulance crew, the Logan Regional Hospital medical staff, and anyone who has cared for Conner. We will forever be grateful for the love and care you gave.
In lieu of flowers please donate to an organization that cares for children with special needs.

Bloomington, Idaho Lake Road
The popular Bloomington Lake Road (NFSR 409) on the Montpelier Ranger District will close for repairs beginning June 1. This closure order will be in place while heavy equipment is making repairs to the road. The forest anticipates reopening the road on July 1.
The Bloomington Lake Road has deteriorated substantially over the last few years,” said Dell Transtrum, Montpelier Acting District Ranger. “Natural erosion and heavy vehicle use have torn the road down to its bedrock layer.”
Transtrum says when vehicles travel at excessive speeds, fish tail in the gravel, fail to use 4-wheel drive when appropriate and spin tires, etc., it removes the gravel and increases erosion and results in resource damage.
This kind of heavy maintenance is time intensive. The forest expects to have the road closed for one month to complete this laborious process. The final product will improve public access to the forest and help protect this recreational resource for future generations. As always, once the road is improved, the public is encouraged to use it respectfully and responsibly.
Once the approximately six miles of road is resurfaced, individuals are urged to be respectful and Tread Lightly. Roosting around corners, driving too fast and spinning tires quickly ruins the road and the experience for others.
For more information contact the Montpelier Ranger District at 208-847-0375.
