Quotable 4 new records set in 2021
I
like quotations. And, I know many of you do too. I’m not talking about stock quotes or car insurance quotes, but, you know – things other people have said that are “quotable.” To become a “quotation,” the spoken words need to have a quality about them that makes them noteworthy enough that someone says “aha! — that was good.” The spoken words are significant enough to have survived the moment and live on in memory or in written form. MERRILL I have known peoOGDEN ple over the years who have collected quotes in little memo books or index card files. I used to do that. Good quotes should be witty or humorous or profound or insightful or just plain appealing to the soul. The best quotes are a combination of all those things. If Grandpa said, “I’m gonna go out and plant corn,” that doesn’t qualify as a quote. But when my dad said, “Better a belly busted than good food wasted,” – that was a quote. (which he perhaps heard his dad say) Politicians are known for quoting other politicians and also for creating “new quotes.” The irony of this is that in many cases it wasn’t the person giving the speech who actually came up with the memorable quote. Nameless speechwriters toil over sentences in speeches to come up with language that “has a ring to it.” But the credit goes to the politician who reads what the speechwriter has written.
SALT LAKE CITY — Anyone who goes fishing knows how thrilling it is to catch a fish, especially if it is a large, potentially record-breaking one. The DWR began tracking records for harvested fish in the early 1900s. Since then, the record fish program has expanded to also include catch-and-release records and records for fish caught using alternate tackle, like spearfishing, archery and setline. There are currently 33 state catch-andkeep angling records, 38 state catch-andrelease records, 21 state spearfishing records, six state setline records and three state archery records in Utah. View all the state fishing records on the DWR website. “The primary reason that the DWR tracks record fish is to provide anglers with recognition of their achievements,” DWR Aquatics Assistant Chief Craig Walker said. “The public records are also a fun way to encourage anglers to get out on the water and hopefully encounter some of the large fish Utah has to offer.” While these records were set at various waterbodies around Utah, those are not the only waters that offer large fish in the state. Visit the DWR Fish Utah map to find other waterbodies — including Utah’s Blue Ribbon fisheries — that also offer trophy fishing opportunities. Here is a look at four new state fishing records that were set during 2021:

Walleye: Set by Colby Woodruff at Bear River
If you think you may have caught a record catch-and-release fish, you can submit it on the DWR website. Your submission must include a photo that shows the fish next to a measuring device such as a yardstick or tape measure, and your release of the fish must be witnessed and certified in writing. To submit a catch-and-keep record, you must submit a photo of the fish, as well as its total length, girth and weight. The fish must be weighed using a certified commercial scale, and the weighing must be witnessed and certified in writing by two independent witnesses who are not members of the individual’s fishing party or family. A Utah Division of Wildlife Resources employee must witness and certify in writing the species, total fish length and girth verification.

January garden planning tips If the spike in gardening interest the last two years is any indication of what 2022 will be like, now is the perfect time to start planning! Consider these tips and links from the Utah State University Extension Gardeners Almanac. Peruse garden and seed catalogs and select new vegetable varieties to try this year. Plan and design your vegetable garden. Try to implement crop rotations of vegetable families to reduce disease buildup. Consider growing herbs and microgreens indoors to add fresh greens to your diet. Use deicing compounds sparingly to avoid salt damage to landscape plants. If you are storing bulbs, check their condition to ensure that they are firm, and remove any that are soft or rotten. Perform routine maintenance on lawn mowers and other small engine garden equipment.

blah, BEER.” — Dennis Leary Religious leaders are always a good source of quotes. I liked this one that I heard recently: “Holding onto anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.” — Buddha Of course, one of my favorite “wells to draw from” for quotes is the incomparable Yogi Berra. When speakers need material, they always go to Yogi, baseball’s unwitting quote maker. “I really didn’t say everything I said.” “Slump? I ain’t in no slump… I just ain’t hitting.” “If people don’t want to come to the ballpark, how are you going to stop them?” “We made too many wrong mistakes.” And, of course, “It’s deja vu all over again!” (That last one was a comment after Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris hit back to back home runs. It made perfect sense to Yogi.) Looking up quotes or noticing them in your everyday life can be entertaining. And if you want to spice up your conversation or make a point, use a quotation. But as I often tell people, “Don’t quote me.” — Merrill

Economists crunch the numbers for 2022 predictions

onsider these statistics: In April 2020, the national unemployment rate skyrocketed to 14.8%. In the third quarter of 2021, Utah home prices increased 23.8% year over year. And as of November 2021, the Consumer Price Index saw prices increase by 6.8%, a rate not seen since the early 1980s. AMY It’s no secret OSMOND that the econCOOK omy has been unpredictable these past two years. The question is this: Will anything go back to (relatively) normal in 2022? Let’s take a look at what economists predict about the growth of the economy, interest rates, cryptocurrency, employment rates and the housing market. There’s no crystal ball, but these evidence-based predictions may give you a little more confidence as you make financial decisions in 2022.
4%: National economy growth What does 4% really mean? As is the case with any statistic, it’s helpful to look at the context to get a better idea. In 2020, the growth rate of the US economy was 3.4%, and it’s on track to be 6.3% in 2021 as the economy recovers from the pandemic, according to Lasse Sinikallas, director of macroeconomics at RISI. “Still, growth looks set to

2-3: The number of 20%+: How much times the Fed will raise cryptocurrency interest rates markets will fall In 2022, we’re looking at higher interest rates amid a hawkish Fed and uncertainty about Omicron. “I’m predicting that the Fed will raise interest rates at least twice in 2022, if not three times, and that it’s going to find inflation a lot more difficult to control than they think,” said Matt Frankel, CFP. “I think inflation will run over three percent for the foreseeable future.” With a continued lack of workers and a shortage of
When inflation happens, the Feds raise interest rates. When interest rates rise, investors start to hesitate to buy into high-value growth stocks. Frankel predicts that this will affect cryptocurrency. “If I’m right and growth stocks have a rough year, you’re also going to see a lot of institutions start to pump the brakes on crypto,” he said. “I’m predicting a decline of 20 percent or more. I put a number on it, 20 per-

In 2022, there will be 1% more sales than in 2021, and by the end of the year, home price growth will slow to 3%.” What about in Utah specifically? According to Elena Cox, a data journalist for http://realtor.com, the Salt Lake City market is poised to grow faster than any in the country in 2022. However, five of the country’s most overvalued markets will flatten, and two of those are Provo and Ogden.

The Santa Cruz is CRAIG & DEANNE in someCONOVER what of the same boat as it drove more like a mid-sized SUV or car yet still had truck-like qualities, including a bed that could be opened and closed. The Santa Cruz is meant to be a huge disruption in the marketplace. It’s designed for those who want to get outdoors and need a larger, open bed space but don’t want to have a truck to drive every day. It is somewhat like the Honda Ridgeline except the bed isn’t as large; we couldn’t see fitting a motorcycle in the rear area of the Santa Cruz like you could in a Ridgeline. However, without the limitation of having a roof over the rear area, the Santa Cruz can carry much more than a normal SUV. Owners utilizing the tie-down points could stack items even higher and still keep them

The designers have even incorporated a strap to assist you when pulling the cover back to the rear of the bed, an addition we used every time we opened the bed. Like the Honda, the designers have incorporated a lockable bin in the rear of the bed where tools or even drinks can be stored. It can also be filled with ice to keep drinks cold and comes with a drainage plug for releasing
the water after the ice has melted. The length of the Cruz’s bed is right at 48 inches. For perspective, competitors in the small truck arena start at 59 inches in the Frontier and go up to 63 inches in the Ridgeline. Hyundai has made the Cruz about 10 inches shorter and 4 inches lower than its nearest competitor along with giving it a wheelbase that is 8 inches shorter. After our week driving it, we were very impressed with the way

Advice for indoor house plants through the winter W intertime brings some changes that can challenge even the healthiest indoor plants. The natural light levels in your home change, the indoor air will be drier, the temperature in your home may be lower USU EXTENSION but the temperature near your windows will be lower. These changes all affect the way your houseplants grow during the winter but that doesn’t mean you can’t manage those changes to give your indoor greenery a good winter. Good lighting is important to all plants. Some need bright light and others need lower levels, but all plants need the right light for them. There are some things you can do to help your plants deal with the change in lighting. Gently dust off smooth leaves and blow off downy leaves so that your plants can make use of all the light they get. Move your plant closer to a window without putting it in a chillier setting. For plants near a window or strong one-sided lighting, rotate the plant one-quarter turn every week to prevent the plant from leaning. Increase the lighting in the room- either leaving lights on for longer during the day and evening, or by adding additional lights near the plants. Indoor temperatures are often a little cooler during the winter, but there are some homes where warmer temperatures are the choice. Either way, it will affect your plants’ needs and how they do during the winter. Temperatures a few degrees cooler mean slower growth for most plants. If your home is a few degrees warmer, it will encourage your plant to grow a little faster, but without the brighter lighting needed for the healthiest growth. Watering routines should be changed for the winter.
more than rolling our garbage cans to the curb and back. Fortunately, there are several garden-related things you can do during the winter from the comfort of your home to make your spring garden startup easier. Do you do any container gardening or grow your own transplants? If you haven’t already cleaned any of the containers you plant to reuse, now is a good time to get them washed, air-dried and sanitize. Wash off any remaining soil particles or other debris with fresh water (and a scrub brush for pots, if needed). That’s usually enough for flowerpots and containers if there weren’t disease problems last year. Young seedlings are more prone to disease than mature transplants, so after you’ve rinsed your seed starting containers you can sanitize them with a ten-minute soak in a ten-percent bleach solution (one part bleach in nine parts water). Rinse everything in fresh water, air-dry and you’ll be ready to start your seeds in the spring. Browsing catalogs and choosing varieties for this year’s garden is a nice midwinter pastime. You’ll have plenty of time to read about new varieties and order your seeds before anything is sold out. Do you already map of your garden? If you don’t, now is the time to get that done. Having a map makes it easier to figure out whether you can fit in all the varieties you’d like to grow. A map also makes it easier to keep track of plant COURTESY MEREDITH SEAVER rotation.

handle most any weekend project Dad may have. Inside, the Santa Cruz was very upscale and felt much more like a sedan than a truck. It featured a fully digital dashboard with the Limited trim level that was customizable in different drive modes or just for how the driver felt that day. Our test ride also came with an upgraded 10.25-inch infotainment touch screen front and center that was easy to use and understand. The seats were leather-clad and both heated and
cooled up front. They kept us very comfortable wherever our journey took us during our week. We loved the wireless Apple CarPlay and included a wireless charging pad that kept our phones charged all the time. On the safety side, Hyundai has hit it out of the park and included everything we could have imagined. One thing that really caught our eye was the Safe Exit Assist, which let a passenger know that there was an approaching vehicle from the rear on their side while they were
exiting the vehicle. It can also lock the back door if set in child mode to keep a child from exiting if there is another vehicle approaching from the rear. The blind spot monitor, and a blind spot camera that would project the blind spot into the digital dashboard when the turn signal was applied, was a great addition. Lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control will keep the urban warrior in the lane and also the right distance behind the lead car in high-traffic environments,
making that long drive or commute so much better. We would have to agree that this new small urban warrior will be a disruptor in the marketplace. It may be the future for those who want the ability to get out into nearly any environment and have a great weekend experience without having to commit to a full-sized truck.
