Little Spring bottling company.
"The Little Spring Water bottling facility is coming along nicely and still on track to open this June. Once we nail down some more partnerships and suppliers, we'll be able to answer your questions on pricing for private label and other services. Getting exciting!"
Asked if there was enough local water, Clay Soelberg's response was: "Absolutely. Plenty and to spare. You can't create a business like this on a whim. You must go through rigorous governmental inspections, evaluations, professional chemical analysis of the water, environmental impact investigation, legal adjustment to your existing water rights, public notice period, public hearing, and other hurdles."
" I've been working on this project for over a year and the spring owners have been at it even longer. We've successfully made it through all the hoops and red tape and the experts have given the go-ahead. Little Spring will be a boon to the Bear Lake area in a multitude of ways and we're thrilled at the great outpouring of local support we're receiving. It's going to be great."

Marina Road Update
Weekly Construction Update - March 15, 2021This week, crews are removing asphalt and excavating the roadway to prepare for the new asphalt. Traffic has been reduced to a single lane with an electronic temporary signal to manage traffic until the project is completed. It is important to follow these signal commands at all times and only proceed when the signal indicates that it is safe to do so. Please proceed through the construction area with caution during this time for your own safety and the safety of the crews working. |
|
 |
Project Overview |
|
The current marina access off US 89 only allows nine vehicles with trailers to queue. After conducting an environmental study, UDOT has designed a dual-lane entrance accommodating vehicles from both directions into the marina and increasing the number of queuing vehicles from nine to 39. A new street-level pedestrian crossing with safety flashers will be installed at the overflow access road connecting to the multi-use trail for pedestrians to cross the road safely. Improvements to the marina facility that are beyond the scope of this project will be completed by the Division of State Parks and Recreation as funds become available. |
|
Construction ImpactsDrivers can expect the following during construction:
Construction work is scheduled for Spring in order to minimize traffic impacts as much as possible. |

The Fearless Foodie
By Scott Heiner
MayMoes
Recently, we discovered a rarity: MayMoes a Southern Cajun BBQ Grill. This place is the real deal, and more—right here in Logan Utah, of all places.
Owner Jason Davis, grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, raised on in the rich Cajun and Creole cuisine there. He worked in the mortgage industry, but in 2016, he walked away from that and moved to Logan. There, he took the opportunity to pursue his real passion: Louisiana Cajun food. He is self-taught, but he surely has the knack. Jason not only captures the flavors of Louisiana to perfection, but he is a genius in inventing new dishes.
For relaxation, Jason reads cookbooks, and closely follows cooking celebrities. At home, he loves to experiment and tinker with interesting new food combinations, so the good ones show up at the restaurant. Besides their standard printed menu, MayMoes has a large blackboard on the wall which features their daily specials.
Jason also relates to the locals by incorporating Utah foods in his menu. For example, he actually colors his ranch dressing blue and calls it “Aggie Blue Ranch.” He offers a Cajun Pastrami Burger—his version of the popular pastrami burger which originated in Utah--and also serves his own fry sauce.
MayMoes smokes their meats which is essential in producing the Cajun flavors. They have worn out two smokers and are on their third one now, usually keeping it going all day long. They also get it right with their baked goods. Their hushpuppies are spot on and their beignets are just like the ones from the French Quarter in New Orleans.
MayMoes cultivates a happy and upbeat environment, frequently posting on Facebook about what’s new. Jason keeps his prices low so as many people as people as possible can afford to eat there, so he doesn’t make much more than covering his expenses. His only goal is to share his passion for good Cajun food with people to make them happy. He insists on serving only top-quality dishes; if a batch of French fries has sat too long, he will throw them out and cook up a new batch of fresh hot fries.
Last year, Jason and MayMoes were featured on The Food Network show, "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives,” hosted by Guy Fieri. That episode highlighted MayMoes’ Blackened Chicken Pasta and their Marrow Butter Burger. Using bone marrow sounds a bit weird but Guy certainly liked it. Their menu describes it as “Smoked Bone Marrow compounded with butter and seasoning topped with American cheese on a hand pressed all Beef patty.” That’ll be my order next time I get there.
Of course, the show really boosted their popularity and the place is always full. MayMoes opened five years ago in a small space in the back of a service station in north Logan. Two years later, they moved to a much larger spot. Now, they are so busy that they are considering building a new dedicated restaurant. Jason Davis doesn’t mind sharing his recipes, either; he has become so good and popular that he now offers monthly cooking classes.
We have eaten at MayMoes three times, but we have barely touched the wide variety of dishes they offer. With their extensive menu and the new creations that they come up with, we will never run out of adventures there. It is truly a Cajun wonderland right in the heart of a Cajun wilderness of Utah. We really like their shrimp-n-grits and red beans and rice (both Louisiana classics), shrimp gumbo, and Blackened Chicken Pasta.
Oh, the name, “MayMoes?” That came from Jason’s young daughter who was “skinny as a beanpole, but always hungry.” One day back in 2003, she tried to ask for tomatoes one day but all she could say was “maymoes.” Jason, thought that was really funny and ever since, he has called tomatoes “MayMoes.” Jason thought it would be a perfect, unique name for his restaurant.
MayMoes’ 5-year anniversary is the end of April, so to celebrate, they plan a big Louisiana-style crawfish boil and barbecued alligator feast on Saturday 1 May 2021. Put that on your calendar; it’s sure to be epic! That’s paradise for a fearless foodie; I’ll certainly be there.

Data Notes
7-Day Average: This presents the average number of daily cases reported to BRHD from the past seven days (also known as the rolling seven-day average). A rolling average is used to account for day-to-day fluctuations, such as fewer cases coming in on weekends.
Total Cases: Note that any discrepancies between county case totals and the total number of cases in the Bear River health district are due to missing county data. We regularly parse through all positive cases to fill these missing data.
Total Recovered: This is estimated by counting the number of cases that tested positive over 14 days ago, excluding deaths.
Active Cases: This is estimated by counting the number of cases that tested positive within the last 14 days.

" The total SWE accumulation still lags behind normal at 83% of median. " 83% sounds "good" but look again! The GREEN line is the "median" of which we are 83% - not so good.
(Today March 7, SWE is 12.6 in the Upper Basin and 13.0 in the full Basin)
" The runoff forecasts combined with the expectation of similar runoff percentages in the local Bear Lake watershed indicates that Bear Lake levels are estimated to reach 5917.7 feet around May 16. "
" A heavy irrigation storage demand is expected and fall lake levels may dip below 5914.0 feet. "
