Protection efforts around the historic Kimberly Mining District are still successful. Staffing on the fire is down to two helicopters, two engines, and a 10-member handcrew. These remaining resources are monitoring the fire's progress and holding existing lines. Gustier winds from the southwest are predicted for today and are forecast to return over the weekend. The Fishlake National Forest is scheduled to resume control of the Twitchell Canyon Fire on Wednesday, September 15 at 0600, and a Type 3 Incident Commander will assume direct management of the fire. Expert analysis has been done to predict how long the fire will remain active. Given the current weather forecasts and conditions of the fuels, it's highly probable that the fire will continue to burn with varying fire intensities (low to moderate) through the month of October. Fire officials anticipate the fire will continue to make short runs uphill through portions of thick vegetation but otherwise smolder apd creep until snow covers the fire area. Periodic smoke columns should be expected until that time. The following road closures are still in effect-to provide for public and firefighter safety: Forest Road 119 Indian Creek Road at Pole Creek Junction (Forest Road 589). Forest Road 114 Shingle Creek Road intersection with the Paiute Trail Mud Flat Road (Forest Road 583). • Forest Road 113 Mill Creek Road (Kimberly) from Mud Springs (junction of Forest Road 116 Sevier Canyon Road) to Kimberly Junction, where it meets the Max Reid Trail. .

Home Country Slim Randies It Actually took three hours for the story to make a complete circuit of the valley. We were surprised. Normally, it takes about 20 minutes. It must have been the humidity. Unlike the stories to be found in our beloved Valley Weekly Miracle, this story didn't have to be checkoff for accuracy, spelled right, proofread, set in type or printed. No one had to put a bunch of them in a machine, either. But then, how many times does the V.W. Miracle get a story this hot? It began at 9 a.m. during the post-breakfast coffee break at the philosophy counter of the Mule Bam coffee shop. Our chamber of commerce, Delbert McLain, popped in to tell us of a proposed project so unbelievably fabulous that mere life here fn the valley would never be the same again. "A group of Spanish investors," Delbert said, wiping the foam from his lips, "are lookIng into the concept of a proposed subdivision out by the dump. This, my friends, would be Outside Money coming to the valley." "What will they call the place, Dei?" asked Doc. M Basura Vista Estates," Delbert said. That's Spanish, you know" * That was at nine. Shortly after that, the members of the world dilemma think tank went to jobs and gardens and wherever someone would tolerate them and met again at the Mule Barn for (unch at noon. But Dud, in the meantime, asked his wife what' "basura" meant. Anita said it was pronounced Basra and was a city in Iraq. Anita went to the Curl Up *N Dye beauty salon for a tuneup and told Evelyn about the new subdivision. Evelyn told the next three ladies to get "done," and one of them toid several people at the supermarket. So at noon, with a quorum of philosophers present at the Mule Barn, it surprised few when Bert walked up to the guys and said, "Have you heard? A bunch of terrorists are going to build a training camp out by the dump and move in tanks and helicopters!" Let's see the Valley Weekly Miracle beat that. Sponsored by: www.pearsonranch.com.

By Adam Kia BHS Publicity Manager •>i Prep of the Week By Shantelle Erickson I was walking around the parking lot of BHS trying to figure out a master plan to break into my brother's car (stupid rust bucket!) when suddenly I wasn't alone anymore. Frozen in my secret agent pose, i tried to put a face to my intruder. It seemed like time had frozen as I stared him down. The name popped into my head like a toddler pops bubble rap: Adam Kia! This week's Prep of the Week is no other than our very own Publicity Manager Adam Ahmadreza Kia. Adam was born on December 30, 1993, in Beaver, Utah, to Daslene and Reza Kia, When asked what is favorite hobbies were, he replied anything active or hands on! When he is not geared up to play football, soccer, or basketball; he enjoys chowing down on pizza, mac and cheese or his dad's chicken! Adam likes all subjects in school, but surprisingly has no favorite books. When not busy with school work or such activities, Adam loves to relax and watch his favorite movie: Focus Strong. Another enjoyed past time is blaring any kind of music with a good beat. Congratulations, Adam, keep up the good work!

Time to Cut Back on Watering Salt Lake City, Utah - It is time to start reducing watering times by adjusting your automatic sprinklers systems. "With the changing temperatures and much lower solar radiation, watering can be reduced to about once every 5 -7 days in September" says Eric Klotz, Water Conservation and Education Section Chief for the Division of Water Resources. The Division has a weekly lawnwatering guide at www.conservewater.utah.gov where residents can find out much to water their landscapes. You can also follow the weekly lawn-watering guide on Twitter (UTAHSavesH2O) and Facebook (Utah Division of Water Resources). Businesses are urged to contact their landscape professionals and ask them to begin the process of reducing watering times as well. Each year there are residents who complain about businesses that are watering late in the fall every day. "It's simply wasting water," says Klotz. The Division has set a statewide goal of reducing per capita water use by at least 25% by the year 2050. Water conservation efforts have been good so far this year (around 7 % based on 18 communities monitored throughout the State), Some of the reduced water usage this year can be attributed to the wet spring and summertime monsoonal storms. However, residents did take notice and curtailed watering during these events and the Division hopes conservation efforts will continue through the fall. The Utah Division of Water Resources plans, conserves, develops and protects Utah's water resources. *•* We learn from history that w© learn nothing from history. —George Bernard Sliaw •** |
