Utah Farm Bureau launches ‘Farmers Feeding Utah’ to sustain farmers, help families SANDY — Utah Farm Bureau Federation recently launched the ‘Farmers Feeding Utah’ campaign, FarmersFeedingUtah.org, to help sustain farmers and ranchers impacted by Covid-19, while providing food and donations to Utah families in need.

The campaign was launched in partnership with Utah State University’s ‘Hunger Solutions Institute’, other hunger relief organizations and the Utah Department of Agriculture & Food (UDAF).

Most recently, the first “Miracle Project” got underway when Bill and Lori Robinson, Fairview, help load 300 of their ewes into semi-trucks belonging to Drew Jorgensen, Skyline Sheep Company, to be transported to Montezuma Creek, UT; a part of the Navajo Nation in the Four Corners area.

Jorgensen has already delivered about 20,000 pounds of frozen lamb to the reservation. The effort was coordinated with the help of Rebecca Bennally, a Navajo Nation community member and former San Juan County Commissioner.

Bennally said, “We will be working to get the meat to needy families, prioritizing veterans, single parents, Tribal elders and those with disabilities. Another 250 head of sheep will be delivered to other Navajo communities next week. As a bonus, 10,000 pounds of flour has been donated to the cause from San Juan County wheat farmers.

The campaign includes a crowd-funding component, where interested individuals, organizations, and private companies can donate funds via the campaign website: FarmersFeedingUtah.org.

The program will help meet two important goals. The first is that it will help farmers and ranchers stay in business at a time when many have seen markets for products either disappear or reduce dramatically.

The second goal is that it will reduce disrup-

One hundred percent of donations will go to purchasing, processing and distributing locally-sourced food from Utah’s farmers and ranchers to families in need.

“With record-breaking numbers of families needing help during this unprecedented time, connecting them with our state’s agriculture families and the local food they produce just makes sense,” said Logan Wilde, UDAF Commissioner.

“We think this is a great way to keep our valuable industry going and reduce the gaps in our food

supply chain.”

The Utah Farm Bureau will work with its farmers and ranchers to determine surplus food capacity, and local food processors to reduce bottlenecks in production. From there, the Farm Bureau will work with its food distribution partners to identify food needs and the best ways to meet those.

Those wanting to contribute can do so by visiting FarmersFeedingUtah.org, where they can find a variety of ways to donate.

For more information, visit FarmersFeedingUtah.org or contact Matt Hargreaves at 801-4554320 or matt.hargreaves@fbfs.com.

The Gardener’s Corner So you want to make compost

BY RON MANN

Composting is not something new, it has been around since before Moses. The job of the Master Gardner is the creation of the finest garden soil he knows how to make “. . . and composting has proven itself through thousands of years of use to be the tool for the job.”

For that reason I believe it very important to know how to create compost. Believe it or not it is not that difficult.

It requires just four things: Oxygen, nitrogen, air and water.

What I propose to do, is teach one simple way to compost which will almost guarantee your success. You will need just two tools, a good pitch fork and a thermometer. Pick an area where you don’t plan to plant your garden but close enough to your garden to make the transfer of the finished compost easy.

Find or make a level spot about 10’ by 10’, just enough space to allow you to build two 3’ by 3’ compost piles, although you will only be using one site at a time. Start you pile (3’ x 3’ x 3’).

First: select a few small limbs and twigs and lay them on the ground approximately 3’ by 3’.

Second: keeping a ratio of approximately two to one, green material (nitrogen) to brown material (carbon).

The green material usually consists of fresh cut grass, weeds and kitchen scraps.

The brown material consists of dry leaves, grass, weeds and cardboard or newspapers (do not use any of the slick colored papers). If possible

reduce the size of the material by shredding or running your lawn mower through it several times. The cardboard and newspapers should be cut up or shredded.

Third: Pile the green and then brown material about six inches thick, alternating until you a have a pile about three feet high by three feet wide. If you have some dry cow or chicken manure you could add a shovel full between each layer. When your compost pile is complete, water it down thoroughly.

Fourth: In three to four days re-stack you compost to the space next to your pile.

Fifth: check the temperature, it should be between 120-160 degrees and then thoroughly mix. Now add some more water.

Sixth: Continue this process of checking the temperature and re-stacking your compost pile every three four days and don’t forget to water. In two-tothree months, you will have some beautiful compost to add to your garden. You can also adjust this concept and only re-stack your compost

every 10-14 days. This will increase the time to complete the process, instead of twoto-three months it will now take four-to-five months. If you have a very busy schedule this adjustment might work best for you.

By constantly doing this year after year you will rid yourself of weeds, leaves and grass and make your garden one of the finest in your community. If your compost pile is not heating it up, it is most likely because you have over watered or let it get too dry. If that does not seem to be the case you might want to give me a call and I will try to help you correct the situation.

Incidentally it is not the heat that makes the process work but rather the microbes. For that reason, make sure your compost pile is never too dry or too damp.

A good check is to pick up a handful and squish it and if only a few drop of water comes out you are doing great and continue doing the same thing – you are on your way to creating compost.

One additional item you might want to add to your

compost pile is an air vent.

It will increase the amount air in your compost pile which may shorten the time required to develop your compost.

Get a three- to four-inch PVC pipe about four or five feet long and drill ½ to 3/8 inch holes all around the pipe up to about two feet. Now insert the pipe immediately after you complete your first layer of material (see illustration).

In order to make your composting a little easier I have illustrated the process below. Once you have gotten the hang of creating your compost this way I would suggest you build a container for your compost. You can make your own composter by using a 50 gallon barrel or using old pallets or buying one of the large black ones that are available at most hardware store.

However, for my money I prefer to make mine out of old pallets (see illustration).

The addition of your compost to your garden will increase the quality and quantity of vegetables.

Catching fish requires fishing I saw a meme I liked on Facebook recently. But before we talk about that, let’s look at this word meme. Since when has it been a thing? I’d never heard of such a thing until I got dragged into the world of social media some time back. Time has warped on me. I have no idea how long it’s been since I was first exposed to memes.

In case memes are not a part of your world and you’re wondering what the heck I’m talking about; let me help you.

All right. I just tried to look up what a meme is and now I’m not so sure I can help you. But, I’ll give it a try even though I’m more confused than ever.

To start with, the word meme rhymes with steam or team or cream. Think of it as if it were spelled “meem.” After listening to part of a TED (technology, entertainment, design) talk and a YouTube video, I’m just going to give you the Wikipedia definition: “A meme is an idea, behavior or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.”

Believe it or not, the other definitions I saw were more confusing than that.

For my purposes, here’s my definition: A meme is a picture or video, most often nowadays on the internet, which usually has a message of words or a saying or an opinion attached to it. Often, they are humorous pictures and sayings.

Whew! That was painful to research and write. And I’m sorry that you felt like you had to read it, if you did. Now I can finally get started here.

So, the meme which I saw and liked, is a photo of a man standing by a lake.

He is holding up a fish.

The caption for the photo reads: “A recent study found that people who go fishing catch more fish than people who don’t” At first glance, the message given is oh, so, obvious. It seems stupid.

But when I gave it a little thought, I decided there is some deeper meaning and truth in the statement.

When I read it and thought about it a few seconds, I was reminded of Wayne Gretsky, the famous NHL hockey player.

He said something like, “You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take.”

These very obvious statements got me to thinking. (Dangerous, I know.) It made me think of the old biblical concept of “you reap what you sow.”

If one wants a result or an outcome, one must “plant the seed” that will produce the result. The lyrics to a song in the stage show “The Fantasticks” goes “plant a radish, get a radish.”

In my vegetable garden, there is an exception to that “garden equation.”

The song lyrics would be, “plant a tomato plant, get a tomato plant… eaten by the deer.” The battle continues this year with the deer in my back yard.

It’s a simple concept I’m reiterating today. So, I’ll try not to belabor the point.

If you want fish, go fishing. If you want to score points in a hockey game, take some shots.

And for our current times, if you want to get COVID-19, hang around with someone who has it or may have it and share respiratory droplets. If you want to attempt to avoid the disease, protect yourself by distancing yourself from potential carriers.

If you want local eating places to survive, get some food from them. Support Sanpete businesses, if you want them to stay in business. It’s a form of “cause and effect.”

Oh, and by the way, speaking of fishing – this Saturday June 6, 2020 is “Free Fishing Day” in Utah.

Everyone in Utah can fish for free on that day. I think it’s a great idea.

Get away from the television news. Get away from your garden. Go to one of Sanpete’s lakes or streams, catch a fish or two – or just drown a worm. Enjoy!

Five tips to promote mental wellness at work

BY EMMA PARKHURST

USU extension assistant professor

LOGAN — Mental wellness at work is an essential part of overall well-being that is often overlooked. Any job can be stressful, even if you love what you do.

Some stress can be healthy, such as motivation to perform well, but long-term and unmanaged stress can be harmful to both physical and mental health.

While everyone’s approach may be different, finding strategies to help with your mental wellness can help you meet both personal and professional goals.

Consider these tips to start

prioritizing your mental wellness at work.

Track your stressors — Identify situations that cause stress and record how you respond to them. This can help you find patterns between your stressors and your reactions. Experts recommend keeping a journal for 1-2 weeks to track your thoughts, feelings, information about the environment, people and physical settings as well as how you reacted.

Choose healthy reactions — Rather than raising your voice or heading to the vending machine, opt for a healthy way to nurture your mental wellness when you feel stress

or tension at work. Some examples include any form of physical activity, mental strategies like meditation, or taking time to socialize.

Take time to recharge — Protect your mental wellness at work and take time to disconnect and replenish.

Whether you schedule short breaks throughout the day, take time off to unwind, or “switch off” when you’re not engaged in work-related activities, find a way to recharge that you enjoy and that fits your needs.

Create a positive work environment — Regardless of the setting, we all experience and contribute to our

work environment. There are many things that affect it, such as the physical set up or stressors, that also affect our overall wellbeing. Fortunately, there are ways we can set ourselves up for success, like staying connected to colleagues or setting up a comfortable work space.

Seek help — We all need help from time to time, and there are many community or workplace resources we can take advantage of when workplace stressors become too much. Examples include employee assistance programs, mental health professionals or reaching out to friends and family.

Public Health and Economic Emergency Commission recommends additional data be posted online SALT LAKE CITY — Public Health and Economic Emergency Commission recently unanimously voted to recommend that new additional COVID-19 data be publicly posted on coronavirus.utah. gov.

The data provides a nation-leading public look at how underlying conditions, demographics and other key factors interplay to create higher risks for certain individuals regarding COVID-19.

The Commission also unanimously recommended that COVID-19 test providers collect information on leading risk factors for hospitalization when administering a COVID-19 test.

The purpose is for the data to be aggregated and reported to health officials, economic advisors and elected officials. Establishing a better understanding of how many new infections are in high-risk populations will help experts project future risk to the state’s healthcare system.

While COVID-19 cases may rise as the state transitions to lower risk phases, the number of cases is not a good indicator of health risk for all Utahns because 99 percent of Utahns who contract COVID-19 recover. The new data will provide much better indicators.

Utah has made significant progress in accurately assessing public health risks. Consequently, the state has been able to provide effective recommendations to citizens and businesses based on extensive, accurate data that identify highly correlated factors with hospitalization and mortality.

Data from mid-March through mid-May: •30.9 percent of individuals hospitalized with COVID-19 who are over the age of 65 have cardiovascular disease, while only 7.0 percent of individuals hospitalized between 25-44 are hospitalized have cardiovascular disease.

While COVID-19 tends to affect older people with underlying health conditions more severely, individuals with diabetes between 45-65 years old may face a similarly high risk of hospitalization. 40 percent of individuals with diabetes between 45-65 years old who contract COVID-19 required hospitalization compared to 43.4 percent of individuals with diabetes over age 65.

•42.4 percent of individuals between 45-64 years old who have two or more underlying conditions and contract COVID-19 required hospitalization. About one in five (21.3 percent) of individuals 65 or older who have no known underlying conditions and

contract COVID-19 required hospitalization.

•66.7 percent of individuals who are 65 or older with kidney disease and contract COVID-19 required hospitalization.

•A native Hawaiian/pacific islander who contracts COVID-19 has been two times more likely to be hospitalized (13 percent) than an Asian individual who contracts COVID-19 (6.7 percent). Review additional data here.

“We now know much more about who’s at high risk of complications when contracting COVID-19,” said Jefferson Burton, co-chair of the Commission. “Armed with this information, we can form better state strategies for protecting the vulnerable. We can help those who are not vulnerable transition back to work while taking precautions not to infect those who are.”

“We have some of the top minds in the state helping government leaders address this health and economic crisis — epidemiologists, scientists, physicians, economists, business leaders and medical researchers,” said Sen. Dan Hemmert, co-chair of the Commission. “Utah is leading the nation in health and economic outcomes. We’re making progress in understanding how to navigate through this situation.”

Utah’s COVID-19 patient fatality data as of May 26: •94.1 percent of individuals who have passed away in Utah were age 65 or older and/or with a high-risk underlying medical condition, as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which was adopted by the Commission’s Medical Advisory Team Working Group.

•74 years is the median age of individuals who have passed away from COVID-19 in the state.

•74.3 percent of fatalities were age 65 or older.

•80 percent of fatalities had at least one underlying health risk factor.

The Commission’s goal is to protect vulnerable populations and allow the state to carefully transition to a lower risk status by making sound data-driven recommendations in consultation with health experts, economic advisors and elected officials.

Metrics driving decisions and recommendations include hospital utilization rates, the transmission rate and rate of community spread, as well as new insights about high-risk populations. View key factors the Commission is utilizing here.

Over 60 percent of U.S. households have responded to 2020 census Internet response option preferred by majority of households SALT LAKE CITY — Responses to the 2020 Census are on track as more than 60 percent of U.S. households have r esponded to the 2020 Census, with approximately four out of every five households that responded on their own choosing to do so online at 2020census.gov.

Current internet self-response rates are 9.2 percentage points above Census Bureau projections, as households continue to favor online to phone and mail in responding to the census.

In a video message, Census Bureau Director Dr. Steven Dillingham thanked people for responding to reach this milestone and encouraged those who have not responded to help shape their future for the next 10 years.

In mid-March, most households received an invitation in the mail to respond to the 2020 Census, followed by multiple reminders and a paper questionnaire. Census takers are scheduled to visit households that have not yet responded

to the 2020 Census beginning in August.

Beginning the week of May 4, in coordination with federal, state and local health officials, the Census Bureau began a phased restart of some 2020 Census field operations in select geographic areas, including Utah.

As part of this phased restart, the Census Bureau resumed dropping off 2020 Census invitation packets at front doors in areas where the majority of households do not receive mail at their home. About 5 percent of households are counted during this operation, known as Update Leave, where census workers confirm or update a household’s physical location address and then leave a census questionnaire packet.

The health and safety of Census Bureau staff and the public is of the utmost importance. All returning staff will receive safety training on social distancing protocols and be provided personal protective equipment before restarting oper-

ations.

The Census Bureau’s online response rates map shows response rates by state, city, county and census tract. As of May 27, 2020: •Utah and Minnesota have the highest internet response rates among states •Utah self response rate is 63.8 percent.

•Morgan and Davis are the counties with the highest self-response rate in the state of Utah with 75.7 percent; Fruit Heights is the city with the highest self-response rate of 84.7 percent in the state of Utah 2020 Census response rate challenge To increase response to the 2020 Census across the country, the Census Bureau is challenging communities nationwide to complete the census online, by phone or by mail.

The online toolkit includes ideas for community leaders to encourage people to beat their 2010 Census self-response rate.

It has never been easier to respond

Utah and Minnesota lead the way in the 2020 Census. Utahns have responded either online, phone or mail to the tune of 63.8 percent. In Sanpete County, only 30.7 percent of households have responded. The Census results determine the future of communities and how federal funds are distributed for health clinics, school lunch programs, disaster recovery initiatives, and other critical programs and services for the next 10 years. on your own, whether online, over the phone or by mail — all without having to meet a census taker.

The Census Bureau strongly encourages the public to respond online at 2020census.gov. Households can respond online or by phone in English or 12 other languages.

Households can also respond by mail using the paper questionnaire mailed to nonresponding address.

For more information, call 844330-2020 or visit 2020census.gov.

At the age of 10, Kenneth was given a trumpet for Christmas….this act of fate set the tone for his life. As he began to play the trumpet, he realized he had a natural talent and could hear a song then play it without the need to read music.

At 18 years of age, Ken joined the Navy Construction Battalion, Seabees. He turned 21 on Omaha Beach in France (Battle of the Bulge) where his duties included assembling rhino barges that hauled equipment from ship to shore and was lucky to avoid combat. He also spent time in Newfoundland, Canada;

He started a band while in the Navy Seabees and led many church choirs and musical productions within the Latter-day Saint community in Santa Rosa, CA; and Redmond, WA.

farmer. His crops were known to be outstanding in Sanpete County.

His wheat was beautiful waving in the breeze, and he took pride in putting up his alfalfa in perfect condition.

Many men would come to him for advice on how to farm.

He had many good friends.

He also enjoyed teaching the young men he had work for him on the farm. They admired and appreciated him a great deal. He is loved and respected by all who knew him.

UT; where he taught at Santaquin Jr. High. After teaching a year in Santaquin, he began teaching at Payson Jr. High, where he taught music, band and voice for two years.

In 1953, an opportunity presented itself that allowed the Young family to move to Iran under the auspices of the U.S. Government Point Four Program, through a BYU contract.

Kenneth’s specific duties in Iran were to help facilitate building new schools and to introduce new educational curriculum to the Iranian people. Ken learned Farsi and was a successful liaison for America and Iran for two years.

Upon returning to the United States in 1955, the Young’s moved to Mt. Pleasant where Ken taught band and music in Spring City and Fairview. After a year, they moved to Orem, UT; where Ken taught at Farrer Jr. High in Provo. They built a home in Orem and lived there for four years before moving to Rex-

burg, ID; where Ken was the Madison High School music teacher.

After Rexburg, the family moved to Santa Rosa, CA; where Ken’s vocation changed to become a representative for Follett Publishing Company, and where their last child, Kevin was born.

Another move took them to Redmond Washington where Ken began an independent career of representing multiple educational book publishing companies, and where they built a home on Lake Washington.

The next move as empty-nesters took Ken and “Mim” to Anacortes, WA. Their final move took them back to Redmond, WA; until Miriam succumbed to cancer Jan. 14, 2014.

Ken spent his last years at the Providence Marionwood care facility in Issaquah, WA; where he had excellent care and will be missed by administration and staff.

Keep clear of the sun. In the early morning, close the blinds and windows to keep the sunlight from heating up the house. Blackout curtains and plantation shutters are particularly effective in reducing heat gain. Let the night air cool your home. Open windows throughout the house and let the night breeze cool your home.

Switch on a fan before reaching for your AC dial. Using ceiling fans and portable fans can be very effective when it comes to keeping you cool. They keep air circulating, create a cooling effect and are often a comfortable alternative to running your AC. Be AC savvy. Use a smart thermostat to set your air conditioner to run only when you are home.

BY GLORIA ALBRECHT

MT. PLEASANT — On Highway 117 between Spring City and Mt. Pleasant and Mile Markers 10 and 11, a narrow dirt road turns east at 1550 North. An enchanting new sign there marks the way to Willow Rise Garden and the Fairy Garden Shop.

Lovingly created by owner Chaz Hathaway and his family, the new garden center has been nine months in the making. The Fairy Garden shop is a tiny structure made from glass and branches.

Inside the shop the shelves are filled with gifts, fairy crafts, dioramas, and yarn dolls some of which were created by Hathaway’s children. A wide variety of packaged seeds can also be found there, with a selection that focuses on plants with wellness or healing properties.

The small courtyard around the shop is surrounded by a rustic branch fence, also made by the family’s loving hands.

The courtyard has an intriguing variety of plants that are hearty to the area. First or second year potted grape vines are affordable. Unique spe-

SALT LAKE CITY — If you’d like to catch a fish in Utah’s beautiful outdoors, while social distancing, of course, but you don’t have a fishing license, Free Fishing Day is the perfect opportunity to give it a try.

Free Fishing Day will be held Saturday, June 6, and you can fish at any public waterbody in Utah without a license. It makes for a great family activity and is the perfect time to introduce your kids to fishing and get them outdoors. It’s a great day not only for beginning anglers to give fishing a try, but is also a fun time for experienced anglers too.

“Because you don’t need a license to fish that day, it’s the perfect time to take a family member with you and introduce them to the sport,” Randy Oplinger, sport fisheries coordinator for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, said.

“And, early June is one of the best times to fish in Utah. All of the fish in the state, both warm-water and cold-water fish, are active and willing to bite this time of the year.”

If you are taking someone fishing for their first time, you can commemorate their first catch with a new DWR certificate. You can print out the certificate at home and fill in the details to document the occasion.

Anglers should note that while Free Fishing Day waives the requirement for having a fishing license, entrance fees to state parks and other areas will still apply. Here are some Utah lakes and reservoirs where you should have good fishing and be able to maintain social distancing while celebrating Free Fishing Day: Northern Utah East Canyon Reservoir (Morgan County): Offers rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, wiper, black crappie, brown trout, kokanee salmon, splake and tiger trout. Anglers should have success using a worm to fish for the trout, wiper or smallmouth bass.

Mantua Reservoir (Box Elder County): Offers bluegill, large-

mouth bass, rainbow trout, yellow perch, green sunfish and smallmouth bass. The bluegill are typically near shore in June, so it’s good fishing for beginners.

Northeastern Utah Flaming Gorge Reservoir (Daggett County): Offers burbot, cutthroat trout, kokanee salmon, lake trout, rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, brown trout, channel catfish and common carp Matt Warner Reservoir (Uintah County): Offers rainbow trout, brown trout and tiger trout Red Fleet Reservoir (Uintah County): Offers black crappie, mountain whitefish, tiger trout, walleye, wiper, yellow perch, brown and Colorado River cutthroat trout Moon Lake (Duchesne County): Offers brook, rainbow, tiger and Colorado River cutthroat trout, mountain whitefish, splake, Arctic grayling and kokanee salmon Central Utah Utah Lake (Utah County): Offers northern pike (which anglers should keep unless it has a tag), black crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, common carp, walleye, white bass, brown trout and Bonneville cutthroat trout, green sunfish, largemouth bass, yellow perch and June sucker (although anglers should immediately release these since they are endangered). The white bass fishing is hot right now, and other species, like catfish, should provide good fishing action by June.

Yuba Reservoir (Juab County): Offers channel catfish, common carp, northern pike, rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, Utah sucker, walleye, wiper and yellow perch Jordanelle Reservoir (Wasatch County): Offers brown trout, kokanee salmon, rainbow and Bonneville cutthroat trout, smallmouth bass, Utah chub, wiper, yellow perch, black crappie, largemouth bass, splake, tiger muskie and Utah sucker Strawberry Reservoir (Wasatch County): Offers rain-

bow and Bonneville cutthroat trout, and kokanee salmon Deer Creek Reservoir (Wasatch County): Offers largemouth bass, rainbow and Bonneville cutthroat trout, smallmouth bass, walleye, black bullhead catfish, bluegill, brown trout, common carp, green sunfish, Utah sucker and yellow perch Southeastern Utah Scofield Reservoir (Carbon County): Offers Bear Lake cutthroat, tiger and rainbow trout as well as tiger muskie and wiper Millsite Reservoir (Emery County): Offers Colorado River cutthroat, rainbow and tiger trout and splake Recapture Reservoir (San Juan County): Offers black bullhead catfish, bluegill, green sunfish, largemouth bass and northern pike Blanding Reservoir No. 4 (San Juan County): Offers rainbow and tiger trout and largemouth bass Southern Utah Enterprise Reservoirs (Washington County): Offers rainbow trout, smallmouth bass and green sunfish Kolob Reservoir (Washington County): Offers cutthroat, brook, tiger and rainbow trout Paragonah (Red Creek) Reservoir (Iron County): Offers Bonneville cutthroat, tiger and rainbow trout Yankee Meadow Reservoir (Iron County): Offers Bonneville cutthroat, brook and rainbow trout Newcastle Reservoir (Iron County): Offers rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, wiper and green sunfish Kent’s Lake (Beaver County): Offers brown, brook, tiger and rainbow trout Recreate responsibly Wherever you go fishing on Free Fishing Day, remember to pack out what you pack in and keep the area free of trash.

Also note that some facilities, like restrooms or campgrounds, may be closed due to COVID-19 — please respect those closures. Visit the Utah State Parks website for more tips on recreating responsibly.
