Lt. Governor Cox announces rollout of statewide teleworking program for state employees SALT LAKE CITY — Lt. Governor Spencer J. Cox has announced that the state is implementing a statewide teleworking program following the success of a pilot project that saw great success. During the pilot program, 136 employees from four state agencies worked at least 3 days a week from home while reporting metrics on performance and commutes to state officials. The Department of Administrative Services, which oversaw the pilot, measured a 20 percent improvement in overall employee performance, and concluded that the participating employees were able to save 273 pounds of C02 emissions.
“I am thrilled to see this teleworking program expand to all state agencies,” Lt. Governor Cox said. “Rolling out expanded teleworking as an option for many more state employees means that everyone wins. Employees win. Managers win. Our air wins. Rural wins. The taxpayer wins,” he continued. “It is time to see our state workforce transition to this more sustainable, efficient, balanced model.” The program aims to increase building capacity and efficiency, boost employee recruitment, retention and satisfaction, provide job opportunities for rural Utah and decrease emissions that contribute to
air pollution, while also improving employee performance. If successfully scaled to the state employee workforce, up to 2,555 currently commuting state employees may become eligible to participate in the telework program in the coming months, which could amount to 1,300 pounds of monthly emissions saved, 63,900 square feet of building space made available for repurpose or downsizing, potentially move 200 positions off the Wasatch Front, and over the first year retain nearly 60 current employees who would have otherwise left positions with the state. “For the last five years, we have ze-
roed in on increasing the efficiency of state government,” said Kristen Cox, executive director of the Governor’s Office of Management and Budget. “This program not only increases the efficiency of employees, who accomplish more when they can work from home in close collaboration with their managers and co-workers — but it also drastically increases the efficiency of state-owned and operated spaces. By decreasing the amount of money we spend on maintaining unnecessarily large workspaces, we save the taxpayer’s dollars for important investment in programs that can positively impact their lives.” During the pilot program, partic-
ipating employees for the Department of Administrative Services, Department of Technology Services, Department of Human Resource Management and the Department of Insurance relinquished permanent assigned work spaces as these departments created temporary shared workspace models designed to increase building capacity and efficiency. Under the new permanent teleworking program the new West Valley State Office Building, approved for purchase by the State Legislature in 2019, will be retrofitted with shared “hoteling” workspace to be used by teleworking employees.

baby birds, leave it alone or face citation
SALT LAKE CITY — While bird species that nest in the eaves of buildings may seem like a nuisance, it’s unlawful to disturb nests that have eggs or baby birds, and persons can be cited for doing so. On June 29, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) received a call from a concerned individual about a net covering a bird nest in the eaves of a business in Lehi. The caller had seen several American kestrel (North America’s smallest falcon species) nestlings earlier in the week and then later noticed someone had installed a net over the nest.
When DWR conservation officers responded, they discovered the net was separating three baby birds from their parents. Two other nestlings had died, but officers weren’t sure if it was a result of being trapped by the net. “The parents couldn’t get in to the nest, and the juveniles couldn’t get out, which means the baby birds were going to die,” DWR Sgt. Sean Spencer said. “That’s definitely a problem.” Due to the height of the building and the nest location, the Lehi Fire Department was Please see NEST, Page A3

Getting kicks from the news In conversations around Sanpete, I hear people talking about events that are reported by the news media. It’s natural. The “news” is what’s happening in the world around us. News can be categorized into different levels. There’s family and friend news. There’s local city and county news. Then, there’s state and national news. And, of course, we hear news of the world – international news. I suppose if we were to continue logically, there is solar system news. We do hear reports about the moon occasionally. We get excited about solar eclipses, meteor showers, and comets. We, as the general public, don’t get a daily news report from Mars that I’m aware of, but perhaps Elon Musk does. The head honcho guy of Tesla Motors and SpaceX, last I heard, was still planning on sending a crew to Mars in 2024. As far as the galaxy and the universe are concerned, we don’t get a whole lot of regular news. I suspect that astronomers and astrophysicists get data and information that excites them fairly often, but it’s probably fairly dull stuff for people like me. Speaking of news of the universe, there is one bit of news from the universe that interests me each year. The Miss Universe Pageant has always been fascinating to me. It’s somehow been comforting to me, and a matter of planetary pride, to observe that the winner of the title of Miss Universe is always a human female from one of the countries of our home planet earth. The current Miss Universe, Catriona Gray, is a beautiful Filipino-Australian model from the Philippines. I really have “no axe to grind” with only allowing earthlings to compete in the pageant. I just hope that we don’t have repercussions some day for being so presumptuous. Who knows, maybe Elon Musk will be the sponsor of our first non-earth contestant. (I know. I’m being silly. But if you didn’t have some degree of appreciation for silliness, you wouldn’t be reading this column in the first place.) With that long introduction, let me get to something that has been in the news this past week that I’ve been thinking about. I suspect we’ve all had some thoughts about it. I’m talking about: Soccer. Hip, Hip, Hooray for the U.S. Women’s Soccer team! They swept through their World Cup matches in impressive fashion. They beat The Netherlands in the final match 2 – 0, confirming that they’re the best of the best – perhaps in the entire universe! It was exciting for

Feeder heifers: medium and large frame 1—2: 200-300 lbs scarce; 300400 lbs 120.00 — 142.50; 400-500 lbs 112.50-137.50; 500-600 lbs 112.00142.50; 600-700 lbs 108.00-122.00;
me to watch the highlights of that final match. I’m proud of the team. Yes, you read me right. I said I watched the highlights of the match. No, I didn’t watch the whole thing. Here is where I admit that soccer is, well, dare I say it? – a bit boring to me. If I want to fall asleep with the TV on for a Sunday afternoon nap, a good strategy for me is to tune into a golf tournament or a rousing soccer match. It’s a great way to be lulled off to dreamland. Usually, there’s not enough happening in those games to hold my interest. Now, on the other hand, watching the kids of Sanpete play soccer is different. And when they have been my kids, my interest was much higher. In fact, watching kids play is interesting to me because they actually score goals. The end of the game usually isn’t 2 – 0. I’ve wondered this past week why we in the U.S.A. seem to call soccer, “soccer,” while the rest of the world seems to call it football. As far as I can see from my research, the game was first called soccer as a shortened “nicknamey version” of “association football.” The “soc” from the word “association” somehow morphed into “soccer.” In Britain where this started, they gave up on the name “soccer” quite a while ago. In the United States it stuck with us to keep American football and soccer separate and distinguishable from each other. Most of the rest of the world says “football” when they mean the sport that we call “soccer.” The fact that we use the term “soccer” in America evidently riles up some people in the world. A guy named Beat Zimmerman ranted the following. “Dear Americans, Here is an important lesson for you to learn: There is no sport called ‘Soccer.’ The sport that was invented between the years 220 and 680 (yes, years with 3 digits do exist) is called Football. Nobody knows why you guys call a sport that was invented somewhat later (1869) and is played by motorbikers (that’s why they wear helmets, not so?) football. It’s neither played with the feet nor with a ball. If you called it American Rugby I am sure nobody would argue.” Well Sanpete, that’s my “news analysis” for this week. Enjoy these summer days. If you need some exercise or recreation, go find a round ball and kick it back and forth on a grassy field. Call this activity whatever you want to call it. I’ll call it “Getting Steps on My Fitbit by Running Back and Forth Kicking a Ball on a Grassy Field.”

Dominion Energy Utah requests general rate increase SALT LAKE CITY — Dominion Energy Utah is asking the Utah Public Service Commission for a $19.2 million increase in its Utah general rates. If approved, the increase would raise the monthly bill for the typical residential customer by about $3.51, or less than seven percent, beginning March 1, 2020. This general-rate request covers the cost of system maintenance and expansion.
It does not include the cost of natural gas that Dominion Energy buys for its customers, which is passed on to customers without markup. “We request these rate adjustments to make sure our system is both reliable and safe,” said Colleen Larkin Bell, Dominion Energy vice president and general manager – Western Distribution. “These investments in our infrastructure are designed
CARD OF THANKS
We express our gratitude to our family members, friends and neighbors for the sympathy and all they did during the recent passing of our mother and grandmother. We express our appreciation for the flowers and kind words. Thank you to the Moroni Third Ward Relief Society for the luncheon. Special thanks to Lindy from hospice, staff at Parkway Rest Home and Rasmussen Mortuary.

to match customer needs, but we are working hard to control operating costs and deliver natural gas service at rates that are among our nations lowest.” This year, Dominion Energy will spend more than $232 million on gas-distribution facilities for safety, reliability and to meet customer growth. The utility estimates it will need to continue to invest the same amount each year over
the next few years to ensure safe, reliable service to existing customers and to meet growing demand for natural gas. “We take seriously the trust our customers have in the service our employees perform,” said Bell. “And we pledge to continue providing a safe and reliable product at the best possible price.” For more information, visit www.dominionenergy.com.
NEST
“People are welcome to prevent birds from nesting on or in their homes, but you have to do it before nesting season begins,” Spencer said. “If you have a bird that is nesting and there are eggs or baby birds in the nest, you need to wait until after the baby birds have left the nest in order to remove it and to prevent future nesting. It isn’t a long time frame, so just be patient.” If a bird appears to be injured, call a DWR office for more information on what to do. If a baby bird is found with feathers that is outside of its nest or away from its parents, leave it alone. It is close to flying and can fend for itself. If the bird doesn’t yet have feathers, place it back in its nest and then leave it alone. Don’t attempt to feed it. If a baby bird or duck is found, more details about what to do can be found on the DWR website at https:// wildlife.utah.gov/news/utahwildlife-news/612-what-todo-if-you-find-a-baby-birdon-the-ground.html.

contacted to help remove the net and the nest. The three living baby birds were rescued and were able to fly away. Conservation officers are still investigating and the person responsible for placing the netting could be cited. Baby birds and nests with eggs are protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

The collaboration will focus on how computer science skills can prepare youth for their future careers, regardless of their chosen profession. These efforts build on a robust USU Extension computer science program for youth. Across the state, USU Extension 4-H programs provide training and support for youth interested in a computer sci-
ence pathway. These experiences include camps, 4-H clubs, teacher professional development, competitions and more. Google’s support will equip 4-H educators with new funding, curriculum, training, devices and access to Google computer science experts. As with most 4-H programs, the effort will feature teen-led, peer-to-peer mentoring. “I am grateful that Google. org supports the build out of the Computer Science Path-
way,” said Dave Francis, USU Extension youth development director. “Utah youth and dedicated volunteers have been early adopters of youth computer science programs. We appreciate the work they do and willingness to share lessons learned with other 4-H programs. We look forward to seeing what new learning experiences they will innovate as part of this program.” For more information about USU Extension programs, visit http://extension.usu.edu/.

Disabled veterans may now receive discounted hunting, combination licenses SALT LAKE CITY — Veterans with disabilities are now eligible for discounted hunting and combination licenses and will also experience an easier application process. Disabled veterans were previously eligible for discounted fishing licenses, and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) has now expanded that to include hunting and combination licenses. “We are appreciative of the sacrifices that members of our country’s armed forces make and wanted to show our gratitude,” DWR assistant director Mike Canning
said. “We’d like to thank the Utah Legislature for making this opportunity possible, and we hope that by simplifying the application process and offering a discount that our veterans can more easily enjoy Utah’s wildlife and beautiful outdoors.” The discount will be offered to any veteran who is a Utah resident and has a qualifying service-connected disability of at least 20 percent. The discounted hunting license is $25.50, instead of the normal $34 full price, and the discounted combination license is $28.50, instead of $38.
Full or Part-time Mentor Positions available at Oxbow Academy Beginning pay rate $11 per hour Oxbow Academy is a relationship driven, specialized residential treatment center, specifically designed to help teenage boys (ages 12-18) who are struggling with life issues. We are looking for Mentors who will interact and build relationships with students working side-byside with them doing their daily tasks, therapy, and experiential activities. A Mentor participates in providing safety and security in a treatment environment for students of the facility. A Mentor will serve as a positive role model to our students by exhibiting desirable behaviors while providing supervision, showing patience and respect and encouraging our students as they work through the treatment process. High school diploma, or GED required. Experience working with youth is a plus. Must pass a background check, and be able to speak, write, and understand English proficiently. Please contact Julie Anderson at 435-255-7676 or email your resume to juliea@oxbowacademy.net or westcampus@oxbowacademy.net
Discounted fishing licenses are still $12. All the licenses are good for 365 days from the day they are purchased. “In 2018, DWR issued 636 fishing licenses to veterans with disabilities,” DWR wildlife licensing coordinator Phil Gray said. “There are a lot of veterans in Utah who would qualify for and enjoy the
combination license, and we are excited to offer them that opportunity.” The process will also be much simpler for individuals who qualify to apply for the discounted licenses. Previously, veterans had to take their qualifying paperwork to a division office and submit the application there.
