| | What could happen “if every woman felt empowered within her sphere of influence to live out the full measure of her special gifts and propensities for nurture, care, healing, teaching and leading”? In front of the European Union Parliament last week, President Camille N. Johnson, Relief Society general president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, invited leaders to consider this question. President Johnson said she’s seen firsthand what can happen when nearly 8 million women are united in faith and are able to live out their religious beliefs. “I have seen women elevate one another in the midst of poverty. I have seen women care for, feed and nurture children who are not their own. I have seen women stand to protect others from the ravages of war.” | Most of Utah is in relatively good shape in terms of snowpack, a welcome condition for reservoirs that deliver water to the state’s residents and streams and rivers that will contribute to a decent runoff this year. In fact, according to a Wednesday media briefing hosted at the National Weather Service’s Salt Lake City offices, some reservoirs are already making releases now to allow room for that snowpack as it melts, including Hyrum Dam and reservoirs farther south in the Weber-Ogden River Basin. “We did have an outstanding month for precipitation in February. As I think everyone in this room probably is already aware of but you might not have realized is that we actually broke some records at SNOTEL sites for February precipitation,” said Jordan Clayton, Utah snow survey supervisor for the Natural Resources Conservation Service.
