PHEEC Commission submits recommendations to governor SALT LAKE CITY — The Public Health and Economic Emergency Commission recently met to discuss recommendations regarding the state’s response to the COVID-19 emergency. By unanimous vote, the Commission made the following recommendations and has provided them to the Governor: The Commission recommends that the Governor adopt and implement the orange level of public health guidance as described in the Utah Leads Together plan prepared by the Economic Response Task Force dated April 17, 2020. The Commission also recommends that the Governor adopt and implement the orange-level guidelines described in the Phased Guidelines for Businesses to Maximize Community Health and Economic Reactivation — April 21 Public Health and Economic Emergency Commission Update prepared by the Governor’s Office of Management and Budget and the Utah Department of Health in collaboration with the Commission. The Commission recommends that the Governor immediately allow time-sensitive and ambulatory
surgeries to resume under recommendations issued by the Utah Hospital Association and under the guidance of the Utah Department of Health, being sensitive to the needs of and maintaining hospital capacity for high-risk groups. The Commission recommends the Governor allow restaurants to operate under the guidelines described in Phased Guidelines for Businesses to Maximize Community Health and Economic Reactivation — April 21 Public Health and Economic Emergency Commission Update. The Commission also recommends that the state make a concerted effort to assist businesses with the burden imposed by required personal protective equipment, employee screening equipment, and employee and customer health supplies and that the legislature consider modifying alcohol laws to ensure compatibility with the recommended guidelines. Finally, the Commission recommends that the Commission review the guidelines described above every two weeks or more frequently as new information and data become available.
“The Public Health and Economic Emergency Commission has given careful and thoughtful consideration to the data points and have provided their best recommendations based on the positive trends we are seeing with public health,” said Major General Jefferson Burton, co-chair of the Commission. “I wholeheartedly believe that this action can be taken because the citizens of the State of Utah are doing a great job with hygiene and social distancing in order to flatten the curve of the spread of the virus.” “Utah is on a positive trajectory, and I am confident the recommendations we have made will keep Utahns safe and healthy as we transition to safely opening up the economy,” said Senator Dan Hemmert, co-chair of the Commission. “We are evaluating data in real time to help us make data-driven decisions regarding COVID-19. The state is ready for this next phase.” The Governor will have until April 30, to either adopt or reject the Commission’s recommendations as described above and to explain his decision should he choose to reject the recommendations.
Fifty percent of households have responded to the 2020 Census
by winning support from delegates at the state party’s nominating convention, held virtually during the coronavirus crisis. Cox won the largest share of the vote but didn’t quite hit the 60 percent threshold needed to secure the nomination outright, so second-place Hughes advanced to the ballot as well. Huntsman and Wright trailed at the convention, but they had already secured their spots by gathering signatures from voters. Salt Lake County Council member Aimee Winder-Newton and businessman Jeff Burningham had pinned their hopes on the convention but failed to qualify.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — With just 42 days in, America has responded to the Census, hailing in 76,300,000 (51.6 percent) household questionnaires. The country reached the 50 percent milestone in the 2020 Census on April 18, with 44.4 percent of the questionnaire responses taking place online, and the other 5.6 percent by phone or mail. Everyone in the nation sees Utah’s mountains. Until Tuesday, April 21, 680,000 households have responded, putting the elevated state in the seventh position nationwide, a tie with Virginia at 56.7 percent. The top three counties responding to the census are in Northern Utah. Leading the way are Davis, 67.9 percent; Morgan, 67.5 percent; and Cache 63.7 percent. Sanpete County had better get busy, only 26.4 percent have responded to the survey. Cities with the highest self-response rates are Fruit Heights, 76.6 percent;

Improving fruit production continued BY RON MANN
Last week I discussed several issues that I felt very important, the need to foliar spray, importance of fertilization and how to deal with several orchard insects. This week I want to continue to deal with some of the most common problems relative to fruit trees that I see in our county. One of the most visible problems is the number of fruit trees that have severe sun burn on their trunks. This is caused because we live in the high desert country where in the winter the sun is low and tends to burn the trunks of most trees. This can cause the bark to peel off and leave large areas unprotected. Should this process continue and girdle the tree, it will truncate the life of the tree or result in the death of the tree. To address the issue, all that needs to be done is paint the trunk from the ground to the skafled branches with a white latex paint. However, before painting you should thoroughly wire brush the trunk to remove any debris or lose bark. To be effective it should probably be painted every year. It is also a good idea to put a sleeve (plastic or cardboard – see drawing) cover around your new fruit trees when you plant them. This will protect them from the sun, water and rodents. This is especially true when in the fall you cover your
trees trunks with a heavy covering of mulch, leaves or sawdust to protect them from a deep freeze. What can happen is that mice and other rodents will discover that the compost provides a nice winter home and the bark of the young trees make excellent eating during the winter. Also by placing a shield or cover around the new trees it also protects them from sunburn. Another very important thing that should be done correctly and by someone with experience is the pruning of your fruit and nut trees. This should be done in late February or March before the buds make their appearance. Further it should be remember that different fruit trees are all pruned differently. For example the apple tree is pruned much different than the peach and the peach tree is pruned different than the pear. Because of time and space I cannot go through the process of how to prune each type of tree. Rather I will give a few principles that apply to most trees. I recently had done a video of the do and don’ts of pruning that will soon be available for only the cost of the video. At a later date I will provide you the specifics where to get it and the cost. For now here are a few tips that will get you started. At the base of most tree you will find a few
sprouts that should be cut off, also any limbs on the tree that have new branches that point straight up should be cut off as well as any new branches which point in towards the center of the tree. Any limb where there is a branch that points directly down should also be cut off. In the case of the pear tree any limb that lays flat (straight out) should be cut off. Because of the complication of pruning the peach and nectarine trees. I will not attempt to explain how to prune them here. If you decide to hire someone to prune your trees make sure he is well experienced and knows what he is doing otherwise it won’t be worth your time and money and may even cause damage to your trees. Another very important practice is the thinning of your tree fruits. In most cases this should be done when the fruit is about the size of a large grape, usually in mid-July. It is a good idea to thin your fruit so that each fruit is about five to six inches apart. In the case of apples it is a good idea to always leave the king apple. It is always the largest and will always be the apple in the middle of the grouping of apples. There are usually five apples to a bunch and the king apple will always be the apple in the center. Carefully remove the four apples surrounding it. It is also a good idea to go back
and check your fruit every five or six weeks and remove any fruit where they are closer than five or six apart. Many studies have been done that demonstrate that you will get more fruit by volume by thinning than by not doing it. Lastly I was recently asked how to make a fertilizer tea. It is really very simple. Get yourself a 55 gallon plastic barrel with a lid. Now put five gallons of either chicken or cow manure in it. Stir it vigorously every other day for several weeks. If available you might want to add some boron, iron and hemic acid. These three will help your trees increase their branches, strengthen the roots and hasten the positive coloration of the leaves. It can be used as a foliar spray by simply straining out any debris. It can also be used to improve the health of all your trees and plants quickly. Since it is in a liquid form with watering it quickly get to the roots. When your barrel gets down to about a quarter of the barrel renew it by removing the old manure and replacing it with new, filling the barrel again and you are in business. This is a great way to fertilize your plants and trees and very inexpensive. Correction: In the last week’s article I mention the use of “fish oil”, actually the correct terminology should be “fish emulsion fertilizer”.
Staying safe outdoors BY GLORIA ALBRECHT
MT. PLEASANT — After weeks of staying home to stay safe, Utah citizens are ready to head outdoors, particularly with the warm weather this week. On April 17, state parks In Utah reopened to visitors. As of this writing, only parks in Summit and Willard counties remained closed. Utah’s Department of Natural Resources has a “State Parks” blog that is updated regularly with information on park services. Before heading out there are a few things to consider: Day use passes for state
parks may be prepaid online. On April 18, Utah announced the day-use prepay option to help limit contact with gate entrance staff. Each state park has links to their online prepay option posted on their individual park webpages at stateparks.utah.gov. After purchasing the daypass, visitors can either print their receipt or show a digital copy to gate staff at the state park in order to gain entry. Visitor centers and campgrounds (including cabins and yurts) remain closed in many state parks. Check the state parks website and click on “Covid 19 Updates” for
current information. Utah’s lakes, streams and reservoirs are prime fishing spots for both avid anglers and weekend warriors alike. This year Free Fishing Day is on Saturday, June 6, no license is required. Everyone in Utah can fish for free that day, but remember that all of the state’s other fishing laws and rules still apply. A fishing guide book can be downloaded at https://wildlife.utah.gov/ guidebooks/2020_fishing_ guidebook.pdf, or picked up wherever fishing licenses are sold. Remember the sunscreen! Even the spring sun can cause
a sunburn, and cool breezes or temperatures give outdoors enthusiasts a false sense of the potential for sunburn. Stay hydrated. Practice boating safety. Boaters should ensure their vessels are registered and insured correctly. Also, there are rules of operation and required equipment to have aboard. Utah Law requires all boats have at least one wearable U.S. Coast Guard approved life jacket for each person on board. For a list of “Ten Things You Need To Know Before You Boat” go to https://stateparks. utah.gov/activities/boating/ boating-laws-rules.

Bear with me I guess if we’re going to be stuck somewhere, holed up to one degree or another, there’s a lot of worse places to be than in Sanpete. I talked to a friend who is doing a “hard quarantine” in the Salt Lake area. Getting out for a little walk and some fresh air at a nearby elementary school seems to be the best outing available to him right now. My wife and I had our 41st wedding anniversary last week. We celebrated by going for a little drive and a hike. We needed to do something other than sit at home staring at each other and the TV. The dog staring at us was getting pretty creepy too. That reminds me of this verse which I stole from somewhere and wrote it as a sentiment to a dog lover friend for his birthday a few days ago: “Roses are gray, Violets are gray; Everything is gray. I am a dog.” Normally on a non-milestone anniversary, we get something to eat and then go to a movie. That’s actually still possible in Sanpete. The Basin Drive-In is open and the double cheeseburgers are sizzling off the grill. Since new movies aren’t really available right now, they’re bringing back some of the fun movies of the past. Having a chance to see some of these shows again on the big screen is an unexpected pleasant by-product of these weird times we’re living in. For our anniversary, we opted to just get some takeout food. (Since that’s really the only kind available.) Then we zipped up to Maple Canyon for a picnic and a hike. We skipped one of the Jurassic Park movies which was playing at the drive-in. There were three other vehicles in the canyon They were all parked at mouth of Box Canyon. Further up, it was just us, the anniversary couple and our chaperone, Archer, the wonder Sheltie. As important as it is, I suppose, I don’t like seeing the “bear information” signs when I’m out hiking around in the wild. I think the signs in Maple Canyon relate back to a couple of years ago when there was a “nuisance bear” in the campground area. I consider most bears nuisances unless I’m seeing them in a zoo or in Yellowstone National Park. Call me a sissy or a chicken. Or call me a wise, prudent, old man. But when I’m unprotected, and see bears, cougars, or rappelling equipment, I think about dying before my time. Anyway, when I see a bear sign out in the forest, I spend the rest of my hiking time being aware of and watching for rocks and branches that I
could quickly pick up to use as defense. (The equivalent of bringing a knife to a gun fight.) In Utah, with black bears being the only variety of bear in the state, playing dead is not the recommended behavior when attacked by a bear. Playing dead is the card you play when dealing with grizzlies and brown bears, if they attack you. Interestingly, black bears are not always black. They can range from white (really? – yes) to every shade of brown, including cinnamon. (I’ve always loved cinnamon bears, even though they do get stuck in my teeth.) There’s a lot to learn about bears. And I like doing my learning from a reasonable distance. I’m suddenly wondering why Utah’s hockey team is named the Grizzlies. I guess it’s easier for fans than having the team be called the “Black, Sometimes White or Brown or Cinnamon Bears.” That doesn’t fit well on a hat either. In case you’re interested, the last known grizzly bear in Utah was killed in 1923. There is a rock cairn grave with a headstone, built by the Boy Scouts, for that bear in Northern Utah in the Cache National Forest. You may have heard of “Old Ephraim.” He plagued sheepherders for years. When Frank Clark shot him, Old Ephraim stood 10 feet tall and weighed 1100 pounds. The bear’s skull was sent off to The Smithsonian. I gather it has been preserved there. Oh, and by the way, grizzly bears and brown bears are essentially the same bear, depending on where they live. I know, it’s confusing. Since our anniversary outing went so well, we decided to go out for a walk in the wilds several times last week. Palisade State Park doesn’t have bear signs posted, so while we were there, I thought about rattlesnakes. (Even though it’s a little early for them) Gunnison Reservoir area isn’t known for bears, so I thought about rabid bats and coyotes. It was dark by the time we finished our hike. Manti Canyon does have bear sightings, but I chose to think about mountain lions. The last cougar we saw was in Salt Creek Canyon last year. (Unless you count being on BYUs campus.) Well, this piece wasn’t really intended to be primarily about bears. It was going to be about hiking in general. But sometimes these columns seem to go where they want to go. I guess I’ll go back and change this column’s title and be done with it.

Lush peonies add beauty, fragrance to early summer gardens BY MELINDA MYERS
Set aside a sunny spot in your garden or landscape for a few easycare, herbaceous peonies. These traditional favorites are treasured for their bountiful early summer flowers, vigorous, shrub-like habit and amazing longevity. Peonies blend nicely with other perennials and are a good addition to both formal and informal garden designs. The peony’s sumptuous flowers and captivating fragrance have been admired by generations of gardeners. While many other plants come and go, peonies have staying power. The variety ‘Sarah Bernhardt’ was introduced in 1906 and has been popular ever since. Its plush, pale pink flowers have silvery tips and open late in the peony season. To maximize your enjoyment, extend the peony season by growing an assortment of early, mid and late-blooming varieties. Choose wisely and it’s possible to have peonies in bloom for a month or more. If you live in an area with relatively warm weather, plant more of the
Sarah Bernhardt peony, introduced in 1906, with its showy blooms is one of the world’s most popular peonies. (Photo courtesy of Longfield-Gardens.com) early and midseason varieties so the plants have plenty of time to display their blossoms before the weather gets hot. Add variety to your peony display
by including plants with different flower styles. Options include single, anemone, semi-double, double and bomb types. Herbaceous peonies also come in many beautiful colors, including white, cream, coral, pink, rose and dark red. Start the season off with a few of the earlier bloomers such as Coral Charm, Buckeye Belle, Festiva Maxima, Bowl of Beauty, Black Beauty, Purple Spider and Red Charm (longfield-gardens.com). Coral Charm’s lightly fragrant flowers are a unique blend of coral and cream. This semi double peony is the recipient of the American Peony Society Gold Medal. The large double ruby red flowers of Buckeye Belle are displayed on compact plants that are the perfect size for perennial gardens. Pairing this peony with the snowy-white flowers of Festiva Maxima is a striking combination. Transition into mid-season with the heirloom variety Red Charm. Its long stems have few side buds, which makes it great for cutting. And the rose-like fragrance perfumes gar-
dens and bouquets. For a completely different look, consider the fragrant, double bomb flowers of Lady Liberty. Its frilly inner petals are cream and apricot, and form a tight ball resting on a double row of flamingo pink petals. Anemone-style peonies have frilly centers surrounded by a single or double row of larger petals. The variety Sorbet features layers of candy pink and cream petals. It is deliciously fragrant, with sturdy stems that are excellent for cutting. Don’t overlook other classic, mid-season bloomers like Duchess de Nemours, Celebrity and Red Supreme. Close out the peony season with the large, raspberry-red blossoms of the classic French double peony Felix Crousse, and other time-tested favorites such as Lady Alexandria Duff and the beloved Sarah Bernhardt. Peonies are known for their extravagant flowers, but the plants themselves are almost as impressive. Leaves emerge in spring with a tinge of red and reach a height of 3 feet within less than a month. By
the time the flower buds appear, the plants are the size of a small shrub. After the flowers fade, the peony’s lush, deep green leaves remain all season, providing a nice backdrop for nearby blooms. As temperatures cool in fall, the foliage often displays a nice reddish fall color. Bare root peonies may be planted in spring or fall. After planting, they will take some time to settle in. Young plants need 3 years or more to reach full size, but after that, they will flower every year for decades to come.

Five tips to help avoid coronavirus scams AMANDA CHRISTENSEN
USU extension assistant professor, finance expert
LOGAN — Not surprisingly, scammers are taking advantage of the fears that surround the Coronavirus. In fact, the Federal Trade Commission has already communicated with several scammers who are selling phony Coronavirus “treatments.” Scammers have set up websites to sell bogus products using fake emails, texts and social media posts as a method to get victims’ money and personal information. The scammers’ emails and posts generally promote awareness, prevention tips and fake information about cases in local neighborhoods.
They may also ask for donations to victims, offer advice on unproven treatments or even contain malicious email attachments. Here are five tips to help keep scammers at bay. 1. Don’t click on links from sources you don’t know, as it could download a virus to your computer or device. Make sure the anti-malware and anti-virus software on your computer is up to date. 2. Watch for emails claiming to be from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or from “experts” who say they have information about the virus. Fake emails and phishing scams are very common during times like this. Scammers often
use familiar company names, colors and logos. For the most up-to-date information about the Coronavirus, use trusted sources like the CDC and the World Health Organization. 3. Ignore online offers for Coronavirus vaccinations or those that tout prevention, treatment or cure claims for it. If there was a medical breakthrough, you would hear about it through a trusted medical source, not through an ad or sales pitch. 4. Do your homework when it comes to donations, whether through charities or crowdfunding sites. Don’t let anyone rush you into donating. If someone wants donations in cash, by gift card or
by wiring money, do not do it. 5. Be alert to “investment opportunities.” The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission warns people about online and social media promotions that claim the products or services of publicly traded companies can prevent, detect or cure Coronavirus. In addition, they claim that the stock of these companies will dramatically increase in value as a result. Do not fall for these false claims. For further information on the latest scams reported to the Federal Trade Commission, you can sign up for consumer alerts on their website. You can also report suspicious claims to the FTC at www.ftc. gov/complaint.

USDA continues focus on service during COVID-19 outbreak WASHINGTON, D.C.– While President Trump continues to take action during this COVID-19 National Emergency and enact measures to ensure Americans are safe, secure, and healthy, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) continues to be open for business to provide services to the American people. U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue recently sent out the following message to reassure the American people that the U.S. supply chain remains strong. Additionally, the Secretary expressed appreciation for those on the front lines of the American food supply: folks stocking the shelves of local grocery stores, truck drivers keeping supply networks open and functioning, food service workers in kitchens across the country preparing the products at markets, school lunch workers keeping America’s families and children fed during closures, and USDA’s food safety inspectors ensuring the food eaten here is safe, healthy, and nutritious. While USDA has moved to an enhanced telework posture during the Coronavirus National Emergency, services to the American people continue. Those services include but are not limited to: Food Safety Inspections Service (FSIS): • Meat, poultry, and processed egg inspection services continue as normal. • Planning for absenteeism is a part of normal FSIS operations and as such, FSIS is closely monitoring and tracking employee absenteeism to plan for and minimize impacts to operations. • FSIS is also working to prioritize inspection at establishments based on local conditions and resources available. • USDA Under Secretary for Marketing and Regulatory Programs Greg Ibach and USDA Deputy Under Secretary for Food Safety Dr. Mindy Brashears recently issued a letter to stakeholders reassuring them that FSIS and AMS are rising to meet the challenges associated with COVID-19. Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS): • APHIS and AMS continue to provide critical inspections and grading services. • APHIS and AMS are ensuring the health and safety of USDA employees while still providing the timely delivery of the services to maintain the
USDA
movement of America’s food supply moving from farms to forks. • APHIS and AMS are prepared to remedy any possible disruptions in their services. • Commodity markets can be assured that the USDA will keep America’s food supply safe as well as abundant during this national emergency. • AMS will continue to report commodity prices through its market news service. Food and Nutrition Service (FNS): • Secretary Perdue recently announced a collaboration with the Baylor Collaborative on Hunger and Poverty, McLane Global, PepsiCo, and others to deliver nearly 1,000,000 meals per week to students in a limited number of rural schools closed due to COVID-19. These boxes will contain five days’ worth of shelf-stable, nutritious, individually packaged foods that meet USDA’s summer food requirements. The use of this innovative delivery system will ensure rural children receive nutritious food while limiting exposure to COVID-19. • Secretary Perdue also announced proactive flexibilities to allow meal service during school closures to minimize potential exposure to the coronavirus. During an unexpected school closure, schools can leverage their participation in one of USDA’s meal programs to provide meals at no cost to students. Under normal circumstances, those meals must be served in a group setting. However, in a public health emergency, the law allows USDA the authority to waive the group setting meal requirement, which is vital during a social distancing situation. • USDA is using all available
program flexibilities and contingencies to serve our program participants across our 15 nutrition programs. USDA has already begun to issue waivers to ease program operations and protect the health of participants. USDA has been asked to waive congregate feeding requirements in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico; USDA has granted those requests. Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS): • FAS has plans and workplace flexibilities in place to ensure that it can continue to deliver on its mission of creating global trade opportunities for the producers and exporters of American farm and food products. These efforts include continued monitoring and reporting on U.S. agricultural exports, global agricultural trade, and trade policy priorities such as implementation of the U.S.China Phase One Economic and Trade Agreement. Farm Production and Conservation (FPAC): • USDA Service Centers, which include offices of both Farm Service Agency (FSA) and Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), are located throughout the country. USDA customers are farmers and ranchers who are adaptable and innovative, and USDA staff provide service to every county nationwide. If an outbreak comes to certain areas, FSA and NRCS will disperse the customer service and mission delivery tasks needed to telework, as well as to other areas as USDA routes phones, post and electronic communications to staff able to complete critical functions. • The FPAC Business Center will address the majority of es-

sential operations and critical functions through increased use of telework. • Since the Risk Management Agency’s (RMA) partners in the crop insurance delivery system are insurance companies and their agents and adjusters, USDA depends upon them as the customer-facing service on behalf of RMA. Should an outbreak occur locally, the Approved Insurance Providers (AIPs) and their agents and adjusters would be able to accomplish most tasks through telephone and email. With regards to payment of escrow to the AIPs, this process happens in RMA’s Kansas City office. Should that office be affected, most of the work will be done via telework. USDA also has capabilities to shift functions to the other regional offices as well to perform those tasks. Natural Resources and the Environment (NRE): • USDA Forest Service’s (USFS) critical work, such as improving the condition of the nation’s forest and grasslands, suppressing wildfires and other public service responsibilities, continues uninterrupted. • At this time, USFS continues to remain open and operational, and is committed to the continuity of their mission. NRE is working to exercise technology capabilities where possible to ensure connection and service to the public. As always, NRE continues to work in shared stewardship with state and local partners. • USFS’ priority is wildland fire readiness and response to protect life, property, and natural resources for the American public. No impacts to readiness and response is expected. • Fire training impacts are minimal. Coordination efforts continue to ensure mission essential trainings are conducted to maintain firefighter qualifications. • During local quarantine requirements, public facing Forest Service offices and recreation sites will cease provisions of guest services to the public. Public recreation events with visitors, volunteers and partners will be impacted if events are cancelled or postponed. Research, Education, and Extension (REE): • National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is making every effort to produce and deliver official federal agriculture statistics on schedule. USDA will evaluate data collection and agency operations for the production of each NASS report as COVID-19 conditions change.
If NASS is able to collect enough data and conditions are such that estimates can be established and released, NASS will publish reports. If there are changes in the publication schedule, notification will be made by a notice distributed to the news media and posted at nass.usda.gov. NASS asks farmers and ranchers who have received a survey to please respond online. It’s now more important than ever to respond promptly online so that NASS can deliver the statistics that agriculture counts on, without having to follow up. The URL is on every questionnaire, agcounts.usda. gov. To start, use the survey code on the questionnaire. • The Economic Research Service (ERS) is fully prepared to deliver on their regular mission activities and to support Departmental needs for analysis. Nearly 100 percent of staff are telework ready and ERS is operating in a 100 percent cloud computing environment, which facilitates full functionality with remote access. • Agricultural Research Service (ARS) continues its mission critical work without interruption. ARS is continuing to support their stakeholders, including action and regulatory agencies. ARS will begin planning for new research on the impact of CoVID-19 on food safety and animals. Rural Development (RD): • RD will continue to provide loans and grants to rural communities across all of RD programs. • ReConnect applications will continue to be accepted with a March 31st deadline, and RD will then begin the review and award process. • RD has granted authority to lenders that participate in the Single-Family Housing Guaranteed program so they can work with borrowers to ensure folks will stay in their houses if they are having difficulty making payments. • RD will issue guidance to the Single-Family Housing Direct borrowers to ensure they can also seek payment assistance if needed. Office of the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights (OASCR): • While OASCR will assume a maximum telework posture, the important work that the dedicated officials in OASCR perform will not be disrupted. Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO): • OCFO will continue providing payroll processing, financial systems availability, insurance premium process-
ing and vendor payments to its external and internal customers. OCFO employees have the ability to work remotely and still accomplish the agency’s mission. The Office of the Chief Economist (OCE): • The Office of the Chief Economist (OCE) will continue to advice on the economic implications of policies and programs affecting the U.S. food and fiber system and rural areas. • In addition, OCE plans to coordinate, approve and publish the monthly World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) Reports on regular timelines. The Office of Partnerships and Public Engagement (OPPE): • OPPE will continue to connect rural and underserved communities to the resources and programs available to them at USDA, including more than $18 million in grants for socially disadvantaged and veteran farmers and ranchers. OPPE will work closely with existing partners and USDA Liaisons located across the country to provide capacity building, technical assistance, and access to resources to all stakeholders. The Office of the Chief Scientist (OCS): • OCS is continuing to provide strategic guidance and communication on high priority research issues of national importance. • OCS is coordinating the implementation of the USDA Science Blueprint core research themes across USDA to help guide USDA scientific priorities for the next five years. U.S. Codex Office: • The U.S. Codex Office is working with the international Codex Secretariat on ways of progressing important food safety and quality standards without undue delay. A key element is maintaining communication with delegates, stakeholders and international counterparts. • For example, efforts are in place to turn planned public meetings into virtual meetings with U.S. stakeholders to review and seek input on U.S. positions on issues related to contaminants in foods, food import and export inspection and certification systems, and methods of analysis and sampling.

SALT LAKE CITY — Spring is here, which means wildlife migrations are in full swing. Bird-watching is a great opportunity to enjoy wildlife — and it’s an activity you can do right from the comfort of your own home while you are social distancing! Robins are currently migrating through Utah in large numbers and are a popular bird species to see in neighborhoods. Hummingbirds and mourning doves will also start migrating through Utah soon as well and are commonly seen in backyards. Here are some tips to improve your bird-watching from home: Attracting birds to your yard If you want more birds to use your backyard as a pit stop or nesting place, a good way to attract them is by installing some bird feeders. You can buy some online or even make your own pretty easily. The best bird seed varieties typically consist of black oil sunflower, white millet, cracked corn or any bird seed mixes sold at local stores (you can often find them at feed stores like C-A-L Ranch or IFA Country Store.) Hummingbird feeders are a little more specialized and require nectar instead of seeds. You can even make your own nectar (essentially just sugar water.) Here
is a recipe from the National Audubon Society. “Hummingbird feeders are my favorite because hummingbirds are a lot of fun to watch and will often get really close to you,” Blair Stringham, DWR Migratory Game Bird Program Coordinator, said. “A variety of sparrows, goldfinches, chickadees and other perching birds are often attracted to feeders too.” Homeowners should note that while bird feeders attract feathered species, they can also attract unwanted wild-
life like bears or raccoons. If you live in the foothills or other mountainous parts of the state, it’s recommended to remove or properly secure bird feeders at night. Another good way to attract birds to your home is by putting a bird bath in your yard. “Bird baths can be really fun to have because you get to see the birds splash in water,” Stringham said. Planting native plants can also increase the variety of birds you have in your yard. Some good plants to attract
RMP urges safety during home digging projects SALT LAKE CITY — With so many families staying at home and social distancing, some may have an eye on those long put-off gardening projects. Rocky Mountain Power urges customers to call 8-1-1 two days before doing any digging in their yards, even for something as simple as planting a tree. Even during the COVID-19 stay-at-home orders, the nationwide 8-1-1 hotline is working. With a simple call, utility location professionals will come and identify any underground utilities that could prove hazardous to your work. A national survey recently found that 45 percent of residents planning a digging project fail to call 8-1-1. That means thousands will put themselves and their communities at risk by not calling 8-1-1 a few days beforehand to learn the approximate location of underground utilities. The national public opinion survey of homeowners conducted in March by the Common Ground Alliance (CGA), the national association dedicated to protecting underground utility lines and

Bird watching is a fun activity in the outdoors but can also be done in the comfort of your own home. Now is the time to attract birds to your own yard with bird feeders or a bird bath. Enjoy watching robins, hummingbirds and mourning doves as the great migration takes place now and in the coming weeks. (Photo courtesy of DWR Scott Root)
birds are berry-producing shrubs, lilacs and conifer trees. You can find more information on the DWR website about the types of vegetation to plant to attract birds and how to landscape your yard to be wildlife friendly. Homeowners should note that baby birds and nests with eggs are protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. You are welcome to prevent birds from nesting on or in your home, but once there are eggs or baby birds in the nest, you must wait until they have left the nest before removing it. Online bird-watching resources There are several good online resources to learn more about different bird species and to help you identify the birds you do see in your yard, including the All About Birds website and the Utah Birds website. If you need more bird-watching action, you can also watch a live online video feed of sandhill cranes and other wildlife at the Swaner Preserve and EcoCenter near Park City. The livestream, hosted by Utah State University, currently shows sandhill crane parents taking turns incubating an egg in a peaceful, marshy area of the reserve. You can watch the livestream here.

With a simple call, utility location professionals will come and identify any underground utilities that could prove hazardous to your work. There is no charge for the service. the people who dig near them, also revealed the most popular planned projects cited among surveyed homeowners who plan to dig include: •Planting a tree or shrub (47 percent) •Building a patio or deck (24 percent) •Building a fence (21 percent) •Installing a mailbox (8 percent) There are nearly 20 million
miles of underground utility lines in the United States. These buried facilities, including gas, water, sewer, cable TV, high-speed Internet, landline telephone, provide the services Americans depend on for their basic everyday needs. It’s important to know where they are buried, as well as be aware of any overhead lines, before you start your project. Even if you are lucky
enough to not be harmed, you could be responsible for causing a service outage in your neighborhood—and potentially be responsible for the substantial repair costs. The 8-1-1 service is free and connects a caller from anywhere in the country to the appropriate local onecall center, which alerts local underground facility owners so they can mark the approximate location of their lines with paint or flags.
