New water conservation goals established, state seeks input SALT LAKE CITY — Utah State is seeking public input on newly established regional goals for municipal and industrial (M&I) water conservation. M&I includes residential, commercial, institutional (for example, schools and parks), and industrial water use, and excludes agriculture, mining and power generation. Everyone is encouraged to view the new water conservation goals and submit online comment now through Sept. 25 at https://water.utah.gov/regional-conservation-goals/. This is the first time Utah’s water conservation goals have been established on a regional level, an approach which was recommended by the 2015 Legislative Audit, 2017 Follow-up Audit, Third-Party Review and 2017
Recommended State Water Strategy. “A regional approach allows the goals to be tailored for nine different regions around the state and takes into account climate, elevation, and each region’s characteristics and needs,” Division of Water Resources Deputy Director Todd Adams said. “Given Utah’s diverse geography, establishing region-specific goals makes sense.” Utah’s previous statewide conservation goal was reducing per-capita use 25 percent by 2025. “We’ve made significant progress thanks to the water wise efforts of many Utahns and water managers,” Division of Water Resources Assistant Director Candice Hasenyager said. “There is still more to be done,
and these new regional goals are the next step. Accomplishing these goals will require everyone’s participation, including water managers, elected officials, state and local leaders, and the public.” To formulate the new water conservation goals, the Division of Water Resources first gathered public input. Last fall, over 1,650 people participated in a water conservation survey, and eight open houses across the state were held. After public input was tallied, a team consisting of water providers, members from the Governor’s Office of Management and Budget, and Water Resources staff worked with a third-party Please see WATER, Page A4

Father, son duo highlighted at Fairview museum FAIRVIEW — The talented father and son team of James and Eric Heywood, both Moroni, wowed visitors at their open house Aug. 23 at the Fairview Museum of History & Art. While James concentrates on realistic photography, some so perfect that viewers think they are a part of the scene, Eric chose oil painting, in a very unique style. Eric’s paintings are mostly variations of only five colors from cobalt blue to red, yet he accomplishes amazing landscapes somewhat in
the style of the Impressionists. He studies much of the time in Florence, Italy, where he observed that Italian impressionists emerged about the same time as the French/ Dutch, but didn’t get the publicity or credit due them. So come and visit Fairview’s gem of a museum and explore the works of both artists. The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., staffed by volunteers. Donations help keep the museum open.
FFA T-shirt fundraiser in progress at TSC BRENTWOOD, TN — The fifth annual FFA Convention t-shirt fundraiser launched recently in Tractor Supply Company (TSC) stores nationwide. For a limited time only, Tractor Supply customers can purchase a limited edition FFA Convention themed long sleeve t-shirt to celebrate the 92nd National FFA Convention & Expo, which takes place later this fall. Net proceeds from t-shirt sales will go directly to the National FFA Foundation and will be used to fund programs and activities for FFA chapters across the country. The limited-edition t-shirt has the official FFA Convention & Expo logo printed across the front, which consists of hexagonal molecules and gold rows. The molecules represent the innovative side of FFA, and the gold rows represent crops – serving as a tip of the hat to traditional agriculture. Customers can purchase the shirt now at any Tractor Supply store. The shirt will also be available to purchase online with an in-store pickup. “Tractor Supply looks forward to holding the annual FFA Convention t-shirt fundraiser because it spotlights the future leaders of our country who are making their mark on the agriculture industry,” said Christi Korzekwa, senior vice president of marketing at Tractor Supply. “Our customers and team members are inspired by FFA’s vision to develop leaders, build communities and strengthen agriculture,” she said, “and this annual fundraiser provides an opportunity for them to continue investing in causes they care about.” Funds raised this year will benefit three FFA programs: Gift of Gold, Living to Serve and Alumni Legacy Grants. This year is the debut year
for Gift of Gold, a program that awards grants to chapters devastated by natural disasters. Living to Serve is a program that empowers students to positively impact their communities through leadership opportunities, and the Alumni Legacy Grants enable local chapters to help local high schools build or strengthen their alumni chapters. In 2018, this t-shirt fundraiser generated more than $340,000 for chapters nationwide through the Living to Serve and Alumni Legacy grants. Since the start of this fundraiser, Tractor Supply has raised a total of $1.1M for FFA programs. In addition to being sold in Tractor Supply stores, the shirts will be available at the 92nd National FFA Convention & Expo, to be held Oct. 30 — Nov. 2 in Indianapolis, IN.

Kokanee salmon ready for colorful spawn SALT LAKE CITY — Fall will soon be here and the leaves on trees will begin to change colors. The fall kokanee salmon run is here too and the males turn a brilliant shade of red. At summer’s end, when kokanee undergo the transformation from sleek silver to fluorescent red, the males acquire humped backs, hooked jaws and elongated teeth. This is when the feisty fish bite and jostle as they embark on the most important (and final!) mission of their lives, the annual spawn. During this fall journey, the water is often so clear that the fish look like they are suspended in air. Their bright-red color makes the salmon easy to spot in the waters where they spawn. One of the locations to view the spawn activities is on the north end of Electric Lake. In fact, Upper Huntington Creek and Boulger Creek are two major tributaries to Electric Lake where kokanee salmon may spawn each year. These creeks are typically shallow, making the bright-red salmon easy to see. Salmon run up both creeks starting in early September, and the spawning season lasts until the end of October. (There are both early-spawning and late-spawning fish in the lake,
Tolerating today’s ‘music’ MERRILL OGDEN
A kokanee salmon swims up Upper Huntington Creek during its annual spawning run. Interested viewers can see the fish near Electric Lake between early September and the end of October. (Photo courtesy of the Utah DWR) so the viewing opportunities last quite a while.) Both creeks are highly accessible at the pull-off on the north end of the lake that runs to the boat ramp. Upper Huntington Creek runs several miles north, right along Highway 96. There are many small pull-offs, and the creek is very close to the road. “The annual kokanee salmon spawn is a special wildlife viewing opportunity that many residents of east-central Utah aren’t aware of,” says Morgan
Jacobsen, regional conservation outreach manager for the DWR. “We hope wildlife enthusiasts will come enjoy the fall colors at Electric Lake, including the red salmon.” Electric Lake is 54 miles west of Price and 22 miles east of Fairview, along Highway 264 in the Manti-La Sal National Forest. Obey the law, be ethical Utah law protects salmon populations during the fall. Anglers who catch a kokanee salmon anywhere in Utah,
from Sept. 10 to Nov. 30, 2019, must release it. It has also been reported that some people will pick up the fish for photo opportunities or let their dogs loose to chase the fish in the streams. The DWR frowns on those activities and asks that people don’t do that. The salmon are just trying to get upstream and reproduce. Be ethical and don’t interrupt their journey. Viewers will still have plenty of great photo and video opportunities.

I was at the BYU vs. UofU football game a week ago. I don’t intend to talk about any football aspect of the game here. “Dead horses” should only be beat so much, and BYU has been a “dead horse” in this rivalry for a long time. Anyway, aside from the actual game on the field, there was something really weird to me that was part of the game night experience. It was the music that was played over the sound system at LaVell Edwards Stadium. For many years at home games, short segments of music have been blasted out in between some plays and during some breaks, when the marching band isn’t playing. It’s intended, I believe, to pump up the players and the crowd. It’s meant to be a motivational “get everyone excited” kind of strategy. Last week, the music played was a dramatic departure from what I have heard there over the past many years in Provo. A high percentage of the music played… was… RAP! I’ll admit that the rap music that BYU played and the rap music that accompanied the Cougarette’s dance routine was actually “calmer” than a lot of the rap music that is out there. Much of the rap genre of music has language that BYU wouldn’t be playing to 60,000+ fans who are expecting “wholesome entertainment” at a sporting event. So, I can’t say that all rap is all bad. But, I can’t say that I’m going to be humming any of the “melodies” anytime soon. People tell me that “this music kinda grows on ya.” That means that rap is kind of like smoked oysters or sushi. It’s an acquired taste. I guess one just has to decide whether to “hold one’s nose” and experience enough of it to make the “acquisition.” (I do eat some sushi; but it’s not in the same league as ribeye steak and a baked potato on my food preference list.) Music has always been a generational point of discussion. Actually, it’s often a point of argument between the generations. In actual fact, I’ve seen out and out fights between parents and children over music. Most memorable was the time I witnessed the mother of a friend physically wrestle with him over a Beatles album. (Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band, if I remember right) She ended up getting the vinyl LP record into her hands and attempted to break it across her knee. The
record launched into the air and boinked against the ceiling and came down without breaking. I couldn’t help but laugh just a little, even though the fight was real with hot tempers flaring. As a result of that incident, and a semi-related “war” over length of sideburns, my friend came and lived at my house for two or three days until he and his parents negotiated a treaty. In the mind of my friend’s mom, The Beatles were escorting her son straight to hell. (Not to mention me and the rest of our circle of friends). She knew that the song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” was subliminally going to make us all take LSD and fry our brains. As it turned out, my friend got “entangled” in LDS, not LSD and went on a church mission to Mexico. He baptized about a zillion people. He was a nice, productive guy who sadly had a medical condition that caused a premature death. He was a family man and a father of four kids. I’m confident that he is now somewhere other than hell. My parents were very tolerant of my music when I was attempting to grow up in the ‘60s. A few of us teenagers were in a rock’n’roll band together while we were in high school. My parents advanced a substantial sum of money so that I could get the required Vox brand organ and amplifier. When we were starting out, they even let us practice at our house in the large room up above the garage. My parents didn’t complain about how loud we practiced renditions of “Louie, Louie” and “Light My Fire.” But the neighbors a block away did. I remember making a mental note that when the time came that I had kids, I would try to be as understanding and tolerant of their music as my folks had been. I also recall thinking that there’s really nowhere else for music “to go.” I mean what could they come up with that would challenge my tolerance? I had experienced the likes of Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, and Iron Butterfly. I had experienced Jimi Hendrix live and in person when I was 15. My aforementioned friend’s dad chauffeured us to Patio Gardens at Lagoon for the concert. He dropped us off and picked us up having no clue, I’m sure, of what kind of event we were attending. I think my question of many years ago as to “where can music go?”- That would be a type of music that I would have difficulty tolerating has been answered. Three letters: R A P.

LaVerle Nowling 1936 ~ 2019 CHESTER-- LaVerle Nowling, 82, passed away at his home in Chester Aug. 23, 2019. LaVerle was born Sept. 5, 1936, in Echo, UT; and was raised in Wasatch and Evanston, WY; by his aunt and uncle, Raymond and Lyle “Lila” Lord Nowling who adopted him and his sister, Betty. He had five other siblings Wayne (Joyce); Doug (Dorothy); Joy, Joyce, and Dorothy (Mike). LaVerle entered the Navy at age 18, served four years and was discharged after having served honorably. He then ventured to Oklahoma where he met and married the love of his life, Betty Lanham. The couple moved to Utah where she joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and LaVerle and Betty were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. LaVerle is survived by his wife, Betty Louise Nowling; children, Shelly Lynne Nowling, Verle Ray Nowling and Robin Michelle Nowling; siblings, Douglas (Dorothy) Robinson; Dorothy (Mike) Petersen; Betty Wilkes, and sister-in-law, Joyce Robinson.

Shirley Barney 1950~2019 MT. PLEASANT-Shirley Lee Bright Barney passed away peacefully with loved ones on Aug. 29, 2019, after a battle with liver failure. She was 68 years old at her passing. Shirley and her twin brother, Donnie, were born in 1950 in Helena, MT; to Bill and Theresa Bright. She was raised in Kentucky and later West Valley City, UT; where she graduated from Cyprus High School in ʼ69. She married her virile husband, Neil, the next year on Friday the 13th and later had kids to match her wedding date. She was an amazing volleyball, softball player and cookie maker. In sports, she was always picked first and her husband last. Her no-bake cookies were legendary and probably account for half of the diabetes in Sanpete County. She was loved by everyone…that had a soul. She will be remembered as the nice lady who always wanted to serve more than she was able. Her favorite things were helping those in need and spending time with her family. She loved to make sure that people in need always had a friend and something to eat. Her sons have the dad bods to prove it. Her competitive nature enabled her to out serve other would be do-gooders for most of her life. She often served in her local wards and stakes as the young women leader and as the girlʼs camp leader. It is curious that she didn't talk about those much. Maybe whatever happens at girlʼs camp stays at girlʼs camp. Even though none of her grand kids have children yet, she is definitely a great grandmother. If you were to ask her what her job was, she would say, "I am a wife, mother and grandmother and donʼt you forget it!" She loved us all "more than Carterʼs got pills" and we loved her. She will be missed because she was "berry special" to all of us. "Thatʼs all she wrote." We love you mom. Best mom ever! She is survived by her husband, Neil, of 49 awesome years (he treated her like gold!); her children, Brian (Marianne), Leslie, Buck (Annalyn), Lee Nhuy, and Jack Oton Nhuy; her siblings Donald (Lynn), Ginnie (Dennis), David (Alice), Mary (Dave), Stephen (Marie); her eight grandchildren, Jacob, Ember, William, Snow, John, Adelaide, Remington and Belle; her nieces, nephews and their families which are numerous enough to populate a small country. She was preceded in death by her parents, William and Theresa Bright; her sisters, Lesa (Ray) and Judy. Funeral services will be held Thursday, Sept. 5, at 12:00 Noon in the Mt. Pleasant Fifth Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Friends may call prior to services at the church from 10:00-11:30 a.m. Interment will be in the Fairview Cemetery. Funeral Directors: Magleby Mortuary, Richfield, Salina and Manti. Online guestbook at www.maglebymortuary.com.

Lady Hawks swoosh past Lady Wasps in three sets JORI TURPIN
Pyramid Sports
NEPHI- — North Sanpete Lady Hawks traveled to Nephi last Thursday to take on the Juab Wasps. The Lady Hawks started off a little rough, but quickly regained control of the court and quickly swept the Wasps in three straight sets with scores of 25-15, 2519, and 25-15. Senior outside hitter Sarah Oldroyd led the team with 14 kills. Middle blockers Mekai
Laupapa and Melissa Ferre, also contributed six kills each with right-side Makenzie Lewis adding five of her own. Overall the Lady Hawks played well. However, multiple service errors again were a weak spot for North Sanpete, who missed 11 total. The Lady Hawks struggled with serving in their previous match against South Sevier where they racked up 12 missed serves. Coach Rickie Stewart commented that the Hawks
will continue to work on serving in practice and continue building confidence with players. The Lady Hawks will host their first home game of the season against Union High School on Thursday, Sept 5.
