Fish for free in Utah on Saturday
SALT LAKE CITY — If you’d like to catch a fish in Utah’s beautiful outdoors 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 on Saturday, June 11, and allows anyone to fish at any public waterbody in Utah without a license. It makes for a great family activity and is the perfect time to get outdoors and introduce your kids to fishing (or your neighbors and friends)! It’s an ideal 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 someone with you and introduce them to this fun sport,” Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Sportfish Coordinator Randy Oplinger said. “Early June is one of the best times to fish in Utah. All of the fish in the state, both warmwa-

Local community ponds are a great option for a quick, close-tohome fishing spot. These ponds are a particularly good place to take kids and other less experienced anglers. There are 57 located around Utah, and more information about each one can be found on the DWR website. Many of the community ponds have been stocked recently with rainbow trout, and some will be stocked with channel catfish a few days before Free Fishing Day, Please see FISHING, Page A2

BYU professor: Half of Utahns are still watering lawns too much BY ASHTYN ASAY
The Pyramid
Although many Utahns are watering their lawns less frequently, in response to the current drought, one Brigham Young University professor says that half of Utah residents are still overwatering. Rob Sowby, a civil and construction engineering professor at BYU, has contributed to over 200 civil engineering projects in North America, but now he’s turned his efforts toward the ongoing drought crisis in the Mountain West. Recently, Sowby has studied how often people in Utah irrigate, how big their
yards are and how healthy their grass is by using aerial photography of land parcels. He also mined the secondary water bills of thousands of anonymous customers in two Utah County cities with different water rates. “With that information, we have this very accurate picture of the water use, the landscape, area, and the landscape health over thousands of customer parcels in these two cities,” Sowby said. “So it tells us what customers are actually doing with their landscapes as far as water use, and the landscape health.” Ultimately, Sowby found that half of
those involved in the study were overwatering their lawns and that those who watered too much ultimately had less healthy lawns. “We now know that this is how real people irrigate, they don’t really know what they’re doing,” Sowby said. “What we found is that as you apply more water, the landscapes do get greener and healthier, but it kind of peaks out after a certain point, and then it starts to decline after that. Putting more water on doesn’t help after a certain amount.”
Lehi-based Gabb Wireless launched a new streaming service for kids Wednesday. The service, called Gabb Music, is believed by creators to be the largest clean music library curated for kids. Gabb Music uses an AI software filtration system to curate songs for kids from almost every era and genre — all without swearing, drug references or innuendos. The streaming service is radio-style, so kids pick from different music mixes. “Music is the number one requested item from our Gabb kids and parents. Instead of settling for another music service, we built our own filtration system and experience. This will allow kids and teens to listen to many of the hits without the explicits,” Nate Randle, CEO of Gabb Wireless, said in a press release. “We built safe tech from the ground up, and now we’re doing it with music.” Gabb Music uses tools like Tuned Global’s music catalog delivery service, LyricFind’s data analysis solution LyricIQ and even human review to scan through millions of songs. So far, the streaming service features over 100 mixes, with new music added each week. Anne Marie McDonald, VP of public relations and communications for Gabb Wireless, sees the need for a kid-friendly streaming service as a mother of four. “We love music at our house, and I understand that even the Top 100 Billboard hits, seven out of 10 have explicit lyrics,” she said. “That is just not a standard that is okay, so we developed this clean streaming service so that it would be that perfect solution for families.” As the parent of a teen, McDonald said that Gabb Music isn’t meant just for young kids, but for the whole family.

To avoid overwatering, Sowby recommends following the Weekly Lawn Watering Guide from the Utah Division of Water Resources, or the use of smart irrigation controllers. “If we can identify those users and encourage them to cut back, their water use will decline, their bills will go down and their landscapes will probably look better,” Sowby said. Mindful water use shouldn’t stop with lawn care, however. Sowby recommends that all Utahns, regardless of their home ownership status, remember to make small and simple changes to conserve water. “Everyone uses water, so everyone can do something. Even if you don’t own a home and have no grass to water, you can be part of the solution.” Sowby said in an article from BYU. “Turn off the tap when you brush your teeth. Wash your car with a sponge instead of a hose. Help family members adjust sprinklers that spray into the street. Small actions show others you are being a good steward.”

And with our proprietary AI intelligence, we’ve been able to have a system that makes it so the songs are safe,” she said. “And it’s not just the lyrics, but also the context.” According to McDonald, the company has already received a positive global response to Gabb Music. “People just love the idea of a clean streaming music service,” she said.

Having a life
Y
ou’ve heard people say it. Maybe you’ve said it yourself. It’s almost a daily mantra for some people. Here it is: “I have no life.” While away from Sanpete a while back, I got together with an old high school friend. When we were planning a time to get together, he said that whatever worked for me would be all right for him because he “had no life.” My friend is single, has a job and spends lots of time in front of the television watching sporting events. Those things take up most of his waking hours and equate to “no life” in his view. (I mentioned this to someone later and he said, “Sounds like a good life to me.”) I personally feel like I’m good at life and that includes my ability to multitask. I can waste time, be unproductive, and procrastinate all at once. So, what constitutes “a life?” I suspect that it’s a question we all ask ourselves in one way or another occasionally. We wonder if our lives have value relative to others. That kind of thinking is a dangerous trap. Or we sometimes ask ourselves, “Is this all there is?” There are 28,000+ people that I know of who have a life. A Sanpete life. I know some people outside of Sanpete who don’t believe that “a life” is possible in Sanpete. That’s their perception and I’m not going to try too hard to convince them otherwise. Part of the reason we have our “Sanpete life” is because they aren’t here. Sanpete is full of people with full lives. Due to our
Fishing
sparse population, everyone has to pitch in to make things work. It takes everyone to be involved. Involvement makes “a life.” We need church people. We need volunteer firemen. We need civic club people. We need school helpers. We need search and rescue people, E.M.Ts, local government people, committee people, library boards, etc. etc. etc. It goes on and on. And then, of course, “a life” includes family and friends. Being the parent, grandparent, brother, sister, son, daughter, aunt, uncle or whatever (my genealogical knowledge only goes so far), that we should be, will fill up a big part of “a life.” Being an involved friend and allowing others to be involved as a friend with us makes for an important component of “a life.” The truth is “a life” is what you make of it. It’s like so many things - attitude and perception make all the difference. If your definition of “a life” has to include millions of dollars, being a certain height or weight and having the appearance of a runway model, perhaps your definition needs adjustment. I believe that most of us who say that we have “no life” know deep down that we’re whining about something that we, to a large degree, have control over. We know that compared to much of the world – the lives we lead are good. So – if you don’t feel like you have a life – Get involved and Get One! Sanpete is a great place for “living life large.” — Merrill

as well. Anglers who would prefer a different experience can visit the Fish Utah map on the DWR website to find nearby lakes and reservoirs and to figure out where to go if they want to fish for a particular species. For anyone looking for some competition, the Ashley National Forest is partnering with DWR to host a Free Fishing Day kids fishing derby at the Lower Stillwater Ponds in Duchesne County. The event will be held on June 11 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Pier Pond, located on the west side of the pond complex. Participants can get fishing demonstrations and can win some great prizes. Fishing equipment will be provided at the event, but it is encouraged to bring your own gear if you have it.
You don’t need a license to fish on June 11, but the other fishing rules in Utah will still be in effect. Make sure you know the catch limits and other rules for the waterbody you are fishing. The rules are available in the 2022 Utah Fishing Guidebook. And wherever you go fishing on Free Fishing Day, remember to recreate responsibly by packing out what you pack in and keeping the area free of trash.
Buy a license Although you don’t need a fishing license on Free Fishing Day, a fishing license is required to fish any other day of the year. Fishing licenses are valid for 365 days from the date of purchase and can be purchased online, at any DWR office or from a DWR license agent.

Dear Sad, I’m very sorry about the loss of your mother. The government program you are asking about is the COVID-19 Funeral Assistance Program administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or FEMA). This program is part of the American Rescue Plan, a stimulus package passed in 2021 in an effort to help the country financially manage amid the pandemic. This program, which has no end date, offers up to $9,000 to cover the cost of a funeral for someone who died of COVID-19 as far back as January 2020. Unfortunately, less than half the people believed eligible for funeral assistance have actually applied for it. Here’s what you should know about the program’s requirements and how to apply.
Where to start? To apply for COVID-19 funeral assistance, you must do it over the phone by calling FEMA at 844-684-6333, anytime Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern Time. The application process takes about 20 minutes. After you apply, FEMA will provide you an application number, which you may use to create an online account at DisasterAssistance.gov if you choose.

You will then need to submit supporting documents, including a death certificate for your mother, but it must state that her death “may have been caused by” or “was likely the result of” COVID-19 or COVID-19like symptoms. Her death must also have occurred in the U.S. on or after Jan. 20, 2020. If you don’t have this, you won’t be eligible. You’ll also need to submit proof of funeral expenses, such as itemized receipts, invoices or funeral home contracts. These supporting documents can be submitted either online (through your DisasterAssistance. gov account), by mail (P.O. Box 10001, Hyattsville, MD 20782) or via fax (855-2613452). After the paperwork is received, it takes FEMA about 45 days to make an eligibility decision. Families who had multiple deaths due to the coronavirus can also apply. One family can receive up to $35,000 across multiple funerals. Reimbursements can be used to cover any portion of funeral expenses including burial plots, caskets, preparation of the body, cremation, urns, clergy, services and headstones as well as costs related to state or local ordinances and producing death certificates. But be aware that pre-paid funerals are not eligible for reimbursements. Any payment made specifically for a funeral prior to death is considered a duplication and is not eligible. If FEMA approves your application, the funds will either be deposited into your bank account or sent by mail via check, usually within a few days of approval. If, however, you receive a letter from FEMA saying you’re ineligible, or if the amount awarded is not enough, you have the right to appeal within 60 days of FEMA’s decision letter. For more information on the COVID Funeral Assistance program, visit FEMA. gov/disaster/coronavirus/ economic/funeral-assistance. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC “Today” show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

Mike Lee weathers intraparty attacks at Utah GOP debate BY SAM METZ
Associated Press
DRAPER — Two Republicans took aim at a politician known as one of former President Donald Trump’s most devoted allies on June 1, attacking incumbent Sen. Mike Lee and working to convince voters that one of Washington’s more polarizing figures may not be ideal for voters in one of the country’s most conservative states. At a GOP debate held at a suburban Utah middle school, Lee presented himself as a steadfast opponent of abortion, gun control and President Joe Biden. The two-term senator said he has worked to rein in the size of the federal government and defend the U.S. Constitution. Though the audience took little issue with his platform, as the incumbent and presumptive frontrunner, Lee weathered a barrage of criticism from Ally Isom and Becky Edwards, the two candidates challenging him in Utah’s upcoming primary election. “You’ve stayed too long in Washington when you forget who sent you there; when you can’t pass bills; when people refuse to work for you,” Isom, a one-time staffer of Gov. Gary Herbert, told an applauding audience. While Lee appealed to party unity and mostly refrained from attacking either opponent, both Isom and Edwards attempted to strike a delicate balance at the debate, drawing enough distinction between their candidacies and Lee’s while avoiding appearing overwhelmingly negative or staking out positions that could alienate potential supporters. “We have a president who’s making it — from gas to groceries — more expensive, and he wants to pile on more and more federal regulations. What we need in this moment is to make sure that we send a Republican majority back to the United States Senate this fall,” Lee said. Isom on June 1 attempted to present herself as a governing conservative and an alternative for voters who see Lee as divisive and obstructionist for his frequent votes against bills that win support from other Senate Republicans. Edwards, a former state lawmaker, described Lee as an embodiment of Washington’s political dysfunction. She distinguished herself with appeals to bipartisanship and more moderate positions on key issues. And at times on June 1, she even criticized Trump, who won Utah by more than 20 percentage points in 2020. Without mentioning him by
name, she rebuked Trump for casting doubt on the integrity of the election, both before and long after it was over. “That was deeply concerning to me,” she said. The 2020 election has emerged as a Senate race issue since text messages between Lee and former chief of staff Mark Meadows were published by CNN. The messages showed Lee communicating with Trump’s team in the lead-up to Jan. 20 and referenced his communication with swing state lawmakers mulling whether to send Congress elector slates in line with vote counts. Lee repeated the defense he’s provided since the release of the texts, reminding critics that he ultimately voted to certify the results. In the wake of the leak of a draft U.S. Supreme Court decision that would overturn Roe v. Wade, Isom and Lee both described themselves as anti-abortion. Edwards said she would have preferred the court not revisit the case but, if elected, she would not vote to codify it. All three candidates said they sympathized with those caught in what they acknowledged was a broken immigration system. Edwards and Isom said they supported efforts to streamline pathways to citizenship for immigrants already in the U.S., while Lee said he saw little chance for reform amid a crisis he blamed on Biden, who he called an “open borders president.” Utah is among the country’s most conservative states, yet has historically stood out for unique political dynamics stemming from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, of which a majority of state residents are members. The state has diverged from Republican orthodoxy with moderate positions on issues such as immigration. In 2016, a third-party candidate won so much of the presidential vote that Trump only won a plural-
ity. And in 2018, Mitt Romney — among the GOP’s staunchest Trump critics — won a U.S. Senate seat with overwhelming support. Though Isom and Edwards both made their opposition to some of Lee’s votes and rhetoric clear, neither attacked him scathingly by name, holding fast to the state’s unfailingly polite political culture. The debate showcased how this year’s Senate race — and whether Utah decides to stick with a senator known widely as a Trump-aligned hardliner — will reflect the extent of shifts underway in the Republican Party. The election will test the durability of the former president’s support as well as whether attacks on Lee’s lightning rod reputation resonate among voters. The winner of the state’s June 28 primary will take on independent candidate Evan McMullin, who won the Democratic Party’s backing at its April convention.
