THE HYDE PARKER May 2015 hydepark.utahlinks.org City Happenings Contact the Mayor at [email protected] Message From the Mayor As you’re very much aware, this has been an extremely dry winter. In the past year, Hyde Park City implemented a strategy to try to encourage high water users to decrease water usage. Since that time, we’ve had what Randy Julander (hydrologist from the Natural Resources Conservation Service) has said is the 3rd worst Utah water year on record, behind 1932 and 1977. In fact, our city spring that comes out of Birch Canyon is running at levels that should alarm all of us citizens. The flow that comes out of the canyon is what we would normally see in late July or August. For those that are on canal secondary water, know that there will be very little if any for yard water usage when the heat of the summer is in full swing this coming July and August. In the late summer months, green grass will not have a water priority. It will be dry, but not to worry, grass will go dormant and return green and lush the next year. What can we all do? I would challenge everyone to decrease their water usage by 25%. There are numerous ways to save water. The web site http://wateruseitwisely.com/100-ways-to-conserve/ lists simple ways we can all conserve water. Don’t plant a garden that will require extensive water in July, August and September (melons, corn etc.). Plant now, things such as peas, beans, lettuces and such. Hyde Park City is going to join this challenge. Our parks and City landscapes will be dryer, soccer fields and baseball fields with be turning brown as well. We all have to do this together. I will be working with the City Council to develop our extensive and severe drought water conservation plan. We’ll work with the canal companies to make the best of dry times. You will be seeing and hearing more from the City on water conservation in the coming weeks.

Message From Chief Hawkes In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 falls, as National Police Week. Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962, National Police Week pays special recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others. At the State Capital in Salt Lake City on the west side of the grounds you will find the Utah Law Enforcement Memorial. On its wall are the names of 137 Utah Law Enforcement Officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty, the first being Deputy Rodney Badger in 1853. During the week of May 10th through May 16th you will notice 137 U.S. Flags lining the entryway to the North Park Police Department, 575 E 2500 N in North Logan. Each Flag is a memorial to the officers of this state who have given their all for us. I would encourage you to visit the memorial on Capitol Hill the next time you are visiting Salt Lake City with your family. The Members of the North Park Police Department are proud to serve you and dedicate ourselves to our moto of Respect, Integrity, Courage and Honor. Chief Hawkes
