The Sanpete County Junior Livestock Show and Sale will be held Aug. 24 through 27 as part of the Sanpete County Fair. The Junior Livestock Show and Sale is a great agricultural education program for youth ages 9-18 and has been conducted annually at the Sanpete County Fair since the mid-1980s. Youth registered with 4-H or FFA partic ipate by purchasing a calf, a pig, a lamb or a goat which are then fed, groomed and exer cised for 60 to 100 days. The youth also study animal science and how to train, groom and show the animals. Youth are also able to raise and show dairy goats in a breeding show. All of the hard work and study is challenged at the Sanpete County Junior Livestock Show where youth are tested on their knowledge of their project species and also exhibit and present their livestock project animals to a judge in the show ring. The exhibitors will show their animals in the market classes on Aug. 25. In these classes, the judge will evaluate the animals on confirma tion and finishing. Classes are divided by the weight of the animal. The Grand and Reserve animals in each species will be chosen this day. On Aug. 26, the exhibitors will show their animals once more, but during these classes, the exhibitors will be judged on their skills and abilities to groom and show their animals. These are called the showmanship classes and exhibitors compete against others their own age.The final event will be the Livestock Auc tion and Sale at 10 a.m. on Aug. 27, where members of the community and local busi nesses can purchase or contribute a dona tion to purchase a livestock project animal.
Entries registered on Aug. 21 and later will be $25 for the first entry and $20 for each additional entry regis tered in the same name. Registration can be completed using the form included in the back of this fair magazine or online at sanpetecountyfair.net.

The annual Spring City Arts Plein Air Competition and artist studio tours will bring artists and visitors flocking into the area for a chance to create or view master piece artistic works beginning Aug. 27 and continuing through Sept. 3. Plein air is a French expres sion which means “in the open air” and is particularly used to describe the act of painting out doors. This is also called peinture sur le motif or “painting on the ground” in French. Spring City is the perfect lo cation in Sanpete Valley to paint in the open air and enjoy cama raderie, share ideas or just take in the magnificent scenery and appreciate the talents of others. This event is an opportunity to see artists at work outside and get a glimpse inside their studios. Competition schedule The 2022 competition begins for participating artists on Satur day, Aug. 27, and the painting will continue until 2 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 2, when finished paintings must be turned in for judging. Later that evening, from 7 to 9 p.m., a Plein Air Art Show Pre view and Reception for partic ipating artists and visitors will take place at the Spring City Arts Gallery, 79 S. Main Street.

I’ve learned that chocolate lasts longer than some of us have thought. Over time chocolate will get a white film on it. This is not mold. It is called “chocolate bloom.” It’s the result of the liquid fat migrating through and crystalizing on the surface. It’s harmless. OK, OK– I know. Even though it’s harmless, it doesn’t look very appetizing. But IF we get hit with a “famine” – beggars can’t be choosers.Don’ttell anyone, but I have a super-secret source for what I consider to be good chocolate. I didn’t say fabulous chocolate. I said good. There’s this place called “Dollar Tree” which really should be called “Dollar and a Quarter Tree.” They sell ConfectionsLandmarkchocolate. It’s a product of Poland. On a lucky day, you’ll find milk chocolate. Most days, you’ll find dark chocolate and versions with raspberry fillings, etc. Like I said, this is a secret. So, keep your knowledge of this source of decent European chocolate “under yourLifehat.”with shortages and delays is maddening. And we haven’t even mentioned airline travel here. Let’s all give each other the support we can to make it through all the problems of our day. And, we need to remind ourselves, that compared to millions and millions of other people in the world, Sanpeters have it really good – with or without chocolate. — Merrill

Iknow we’ve all been dealing with shortages and “supply chain issues.” Our loss of “normal life” has been frustrating as we deal with all the problems that seem to go on and on like a row of falling dominoes.Weall seemed to live through the toilet paper shortage crisis. That wasn’t easy. I remember well the pained looks on people’s faces as we stood together staring at the empty shelves at the store. I remember the looks of gratitude of those who received gifts of T.P. when we had extra to share. I’ve heard that there’s no need to currently worry about another toilet paper shortage. I believe that. But, guess what I’ve got a little back-up supply of in storage? It’s something that doesn’t have a “best by date” on Shortagesit. of di erent things have e ects on di erent segments of the population. The shortage of baby formula and tampons hasn’t a ected me too much personally. I’m not at the age and stage (or gender) for those issues. But I do know it’s been a problem for many. Bicycles seem to be more available now than a year or so ago. The owner of the bike shop in Ephraim shut down completely because he just couldn’t get bikes to put on the floor to sell. When we got new bikes at the beginnings of the shortage time, there was a wait and limited choices for colors, etc. Right now, demand is up and so areI’veprices.done my part to lessen the impact of the champagne shortage. I’ve continued my abstinence from drinking it. There have been some events lately that would have justified popping open bottles of the bubbly, but I’ve held firm. I don’t want others to go without by reason of me starting to imbibe. That’s the thoughtful kind of guy I am.Iknow there’s been a shortage of gasoline in some countries. We seem to be able to get it here, if we want to pay the price. However, coming back home to Sanpete via Nephi last Saturday night, the $4.259 gas there was “sold out.” The long-time question is why gas is always significantly cheaper in Sevier and Juab counties? It makes me scratch my head. I could go on and on about many di erent shortages. I have kind of already done that. These are crazy times. I’ve heard in the news about scarcity of computer chips, eggs, lumber, maple syrup, coins, garage doors, cars, and Christmas trees. But, what I’ve finally gotten to here now, and want to mention, is what is really rocking my boat and may be the straw that breaks my camel’s back. It’s got me as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.Youprobably have an idea of what is stressing me out. It’s a possible shortage coming up that is giving me anxiety. If you know what it is, join with me by putting your hands on your head and scream with me: “Oh nooooo! Don’t tell me that there is going to be a chocolate shortage!” I heard rumblings in the news a couple of weeks ago. Major companies dealing in the chocolate world announced that there may be a shortage of chocolate candy for the Halloween season. There are lots of reasons: drought in Africa blah blah blah, increased demand blah, blah, blah, shortage of fertilizers on cocoa farms blah, blah, blah – etc. Theetc.bottom line is that some of us chocolatophiles (a made-up word) (some would say chocoholics) need to brace ourselves. I feel like the first thing for me to do is to is to have faith that Hershey, Nestle, Ghirardelli, Godiva, Mars, Sees, Russell Stover, and all the rest will figure this all out. I don’t want to be standing with you in the store looking at empty shelves with glazed looks on our faces. There’s only so much we can take. It might just be the thing that would push some of us over the edge. We’ve nodded and claimed we understood all the “labor issues, supply chains, pandemic’ed, monkey poxed, monkey business nonsense.” But up to now, we’ve had chocolate to help us understand. Without chocolate, all bets are o . In a practical sense, I’ve decided to add a little more chocolate to my home storage. I think it’s the “Joseph in Egypt” biblical thing to do. When you hear that there is going to be a famine, prepare for it.

BYU tapped as major lead in $360M national water resources effort see A5
Please
thePyramidShopper Sanpete County, Utah BY TODD HOLLINGSHEAD BYU This spring, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced a massive $360 million grant to fund a four-part initiative to conduct research on water re sources nationwide. BYU has been tapped to lead one of the four pillars of this major effort over the next five years. The goal is to improve the nation’s ability to forecast floods, droughts and water quality. While the effort is na tionwide, it will significantly benefit Utah policymakers, water managers and residents when it comes to water man agement, including the chal lenges associated with being the second driest state in the country.BYUwill lead the hydroin formatics research pillar, building on their experience of creating tools with dynamic vi suals and dashboards to make water forecasting information accessible and more useful to a wider“Anyoneaudience.can look at a weather forecast and decide whether or not to take an umbrella when they leave the house,” said Dan Ames, profes sor of civil engineering at BYU. “But the science for river mod eling is pretty inaccessible. If we do our job right, people in water management and water industries will be able to see our water flow forecasts and make critical decisions. They’ll look at the probability of flood or drought and make a more in formed decision with the same ease as deciding whether or not take an Amesumbrella.”andfellow BYU pro fessors Jim Nelson, Gus Wil liams and Norm Jones will work to improve the NOAA National Water Model with web-based decision support tools, maps, dashboards and informational overlays to help people make better use of wa ter flow predictions for every stream, river and major tribu tary in the United States. BYU is one of 14 academic institu tions involved in the national effort, called CIROH (the Co operative Institute for Research to Operations in Hydrology).

The four broad research ini tiatives supported by CIROH are: Water resources predic tion capabilities. Community water re sources modeling. Hydroinformatics (the BYU-led initiative). Application of social, eco nomic and behavioral science to water resources prediction. Previously, this group of BYU researchers created wa ter flow forecasting models now benefiting many nations outside of the United States. That BYU work is already being used by NASA, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and others worldwide. The main empha sis of BYU’s hydroinformatics research for CIROH is to bridge the gap between the water sci ence and practice in the U.S. “All of that data over a con tinental scale is available, but unless you are a scientist, you don’t know what to do with it,” Nelson said. “We need to be able to have lots of people using it.

Our focus is to create a consistent platform to access, visualize and use water infor mation in other tools to make informed decisions.” While flood-related hazards are the initial focus of the na tional water model and the CIROH consortium, drought is the obvious water-related concern in Utah and many other arid western states. Addressing that issue starts with understanding past and present seasonal flows of Utah’s streams, rivers and tributaries.Thereare thousands of Utah stream segments in the Na tional Water Model, but only a few hundred of those have active flow gauges that pro vide measurements on a daily basis. BYU’s research will use those measurements to im prove forecasts in the West, by providing better estimates of historic flow of these rivers and streams over the past 50 years in the areas without mea surements. This will allow re searchers to evaluate historical trends and provide forecasts of future conditions. “We’re never going to be able to operate gauges in all of those rivers and streams, but our work will help overcome the lack of those gauges,” Ames said. “We’re basically rebuild ing historic flow data for the whole state of Utah.” Water From A3 SERVICE DIRECTORY
