Monday night’s contest between the Utah Jazz and Memphis Grizzlies in Memphis is going to be a big swing game regardless of the outcome.
With Utah leading the teams’ first round playoff series two games to one, Game 4 will either see the Jazz move to within one win of clinching the series or see the Grizzlies tie things up again, with the series then becoming a best-of-three affair as the squads head back to Salt Lake City for Game 5.
Game 4 is scheduled to tip off at 7:30 p.m. MT and the contest will air on TNT. Follow along here for in-game updates and observations.
First quarter: Jazz 34, Grizzlies 31
The Jazz got off to a blazing hot start before cooling down as the Grizzlies upped their defensive pressure. Both teams shot very well from the field and had balanced scoring, with a Jazz 3-pointer being the difference in the game.

Four solid rounds put the junior from British Columbia, Canada, in the top 20 in Scottsdale, Arizona.
University of Utah golfer Tristan Mandur put together four solid rounds and finished in a five-way tie for 17th place at the NCAA Golf Championships in Arizona this weekend.
Mandur, a junior who was playing as an individual because the Utes did not qualify for nationals as a team, fired a 2-over-par 72 on Monday as the medalist portion of the tournament wrapped up at Grayhawk Golf Club.
The native of Mill Bay, British Columbia, Canada, shot rounds of 68, 73 and 70 before Monday’s strong finish. At one point in Friday’s opening round, he was tied for second.
On Monday, Mandur played the course at even-par with the exception of a double bogey on the No. 10 hole.
Mandur was the third Ute golfer to qualify as an individual for the NCAAs since 1990, and the second in the past three seasons. He finished tied for fourth in the NCAA Regionals two weeks ago in Cle Elum, Washington.
Previously, Dustin Pimm qualified in 2006 and Kyler Dunkle qualified in 2019 and tied for 28th overall.
In the team competition, Arizona State got the No. 1 seed for match play, while Oklahoma State got the second seed and Pepperdine got the third seed. The top eight teams advanced. A score of 25-over or better was needed to advance.

“In his hour of death, as in his way of life, he set the highest standard. He was truly a Christian, a scholar and a gentleman, and one whose heroic example will always be an inspiration to those of us who knew and loved him.”
Those words were written by U.S. Navy Adm. A. C. Pickens in a letter delivered to the widow of Capt. Mervyn Bennion. Bennion gave his life on Dec. 7, 1941, and now rests in the Salt Lake City Cemetery.
He was 54 and in command of the USS West Virginia when shrapnel tore into his gut. A subordinate rushed to the commander and applied a bandage. That was all the help Bennion would accept. He sent the pharmacist’s mate below deck to care for the others.
Instead of retreating, Bennion continued commanding. As his lifeblood drained, he stood tall and in the fight. As his remaining time on earth dwindled, this proud son of Utah showed “conspicuous devotion to duty, extraordinary courage, and complete disregard of his own life, above and beyond the call of duty.”
That’s how the Medal of Honor citation describes the last hours of a life laid down for friends. Greater love hath no man than that.
On this Memorial Day, we have the opportunity once again to acknowledge the debt we owe to those men and woman who answered the call, donned the uniform, and gave all so that we might be free.
American greatness exists because there are men and women like Capt. Mervyn Sharp Bennion. As Mrs. Bennion tragically learned in 1941, many of those brave men and woman don’t come home.
The list of Americans who have given all and fought alongside those whose lives were lost in the pursuit and defense of freedom is innumerable. This Memorial Day provides an apt opportunity to look to the heavens and give thanks. As the beneficiaries of these sacred sacrifices, our gratitude ought to be ever present and eternal.
We give thanks to Maj. Brent Russell Taylor of North Ogden who lost his life during a 2018 insider attack in Afghanistan. His exemplary commitment to God, family and country defines his legacy.
Taylor once said, “… we have far more as Americans that unites us than divides us.” His words were true when he spoke them, and they remain true today. We are united in the liberties his life was given to defend.
We give thanks to the brave and creative soldiers who lost their lives while serving in the Ghost Army, the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops. Joseph Passaro, Chester Pelliccioni, Staff Sgt. George Peddle and Capt. Thomas Wells all died while defending our nation.
The Ghost Army used inflatable tanks, sound effects, radio trickery and impersonation to fool the Germans on the battlefields of Europe. Staff Sgt. Stanley Nance, a Utah centenarian who fought alongside the fallen, described his role as one designed to save lives; to save the lives of other soldiers so that “one new wife or one mother (could be) spared putting a gold star in their front window.”
The bare and brutal truth is that many wives and mothers did hang gold stars in their front windows. For this reason, I stand behind a congressional effort to award the Ghost Army a Congressional Gold Medal — a mere token of our nation’s gratitude for a debt that can only be repaid by living our lives as free and productive as we can.
We give thanks to the airmen and women who have defended freedom from the heavens since man first conquered the sky. Their work has always been conducted at great risk to life and limb. Many lost their lives, but their legacies endure.
Utah’s own Col. Gail Halvorsen, the Candy Bomber, still mourns the death of one of his “best school buddies” who was shot down and killed by the Germans. That mourning turned to motivation once Halvorsen embarked on the mission that would define him: a mission to drop candy from the sky to starving children during the Berlin Airlift.
Halvorsen’s compassion — motivated by loss and love — helped to heal the wounds of World War II and ensure that the lives lost were not lost in vain.
I will be proposing before the U.S. Senate that the Vet Center in Provo be renamed after Col. Gail S. Halvorsen as not only a token of our gratitude to the Candy Bomber himself, but also as a recognition of the sacrifices made by those early airmen and women who fought for freedom alongside this proud and enduring son of Utah.
While we, the enjoyers of liberty, ought to be ever mindful of the lives given for our freedoms, today is a special day. Today is a day set aside to memorialize that the record of American greatness is illuminated by the graves of her fallen.

Among the most troubling catchphrases politicians have used in recent years is to decry U.S. involvement in conflicts as “forever wars.”
It is true that engaging in a long-term military action without a strategic end in sight is a political failure. It signals a lack of clearly defined objectives and, in some cases, the resolve to commit resources and manpower necessary to achieve clearly defined goals.
But make no mistake. The United States, because it is a beacon of hope, liberty and the realization of human potential over authoritarian might, will “forever” need to fight wars to preserve and defend its principles at home and abroad.
During the past year, two administrations in Washington have worked to draw down American soldiers from Afghanistan. The reasons behind this are solid. A further prolonged presence there was not likely to accomplish any objectives greater than those already achieved. No conflict should continue forever.
However, the continual use of the term “forever war” as a pejorative in association with any conflict runs the risk of devaluing the ultimate sacrifice made by so many brave American men and women.
On this Memorial Day, we agree with Joint Chiefs Chairman Army Gen. Mark Milley, who nearly two years ago said he “could not look myself in the mirror” if he believed the many soldiers killed in Afghanistan had died in vain.
Milley described nights when he couldn’t sleep because the honor roll of the dead was passing in front of his eyes, according to remarks reported by military.com.
That honor roll extends far beyond those killed in Afghanistan. It rolls back nearly 250 years to the earliest patriots who gave their lives to establish a nation where true power resides in the people, not their leaders, and where freedom has served as a powerful lure for oppressed men and women everywhere.
Total U.S. combat deaths since 1775 have been estimated at about 1.3 million, a staggering figure that history suggests will grow in coming years.
But the fruits of forever fighting to preserve those freedoms can be seen in the faces of people all over the United States, who live in relative peace and prosperity, who express opinions without fear of official retribution, who cast ballots, travel freely and pursue careers of their own choosing.
It can be seen in the faces of people who live in countries that once were conquered by the United States only to be set free to govern themselves once hostilities subsided.
Perhaps no conflict has seemed like more of a forever war than the nation’s own Civil War. It produced casualties in excess of 655,000 — far more than any other conflict — and involved Americans killing Americans. And yet many of the racial divisions that inflamed it still simmer across the land.
Despite this, we are inspired by the words of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, delivered in the darkest days of that war.
“It is for us the living ... to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced,” he said. “It is ... for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
On this Memorial Day, we remember the sacrifice of the fallen and their families, and we recognize our own responsibility today — no soldier dies in vain when each of us nobly holds the nation’s ideals aloft for the world to see.

With the calendar being in football no man’s land right now, Pro Football Network earlier this week published the results of a project in which it attempted to rank the 10 best quarterbacks in NFL history.
Appearing on the list at No. 7 was former BYU signal-caller Steve Young, who turned into a Hall of Famer with the San Francisco 49ers.
PFN used the following criteria to rank quarterbacks:
Super Bowl appearances
Overall resume
Surrounding talent and situation
Physical talent and ability as a passer
At least a 100-game career sample size
All played a majority of their careers in the Super Bowl era (since 1966)
PFN argues that Young makes the list because “despite retiring well before the modern NFL quarterback, he was in the mold of such an athlete.” It was noted that Young’s career wasn’t as long as some others, but that over the course of eight seasons in which he started at least 10 games, he was great.
Young’s resume:
Led the NFL in completion percentage, passer rating and yards per attempt five times.
Led the league in touchdowns four times.
Won two league MVPs and was voted an All-Pro three times.
Tom Brady topped the list. Here is PFN’s entire top 10:
Damage to a ceiling inside West Lake STEM Junior High School in West Valley City is pictured on March 31, 2020. The damage was caused by a 5.7 magnitude earthquake that was centered near Magna on March 18. | Steve Griffin, Deseret News
If there was a silver lining to 5.7 magnitude earthquake that rocked the Wasatch Front on March 18, 2020, it’s that in-person learning had been suspended in schools due to the COVID-19 pandemic, leaving buildings empty so that no injuries occurred.
But the quake had significant financial impacts, especially where older schools had not been modified to survive a significant temblor.
The earthquake caused substantial damage to West Lake STEM Junior High in West Valley City, which was later deemed “a complete loss,” according to the March 2021 Wasatch Front Unreinforced Masonry Reduction Strategy report. The Granite Board of Education recently accepted a $37.4 million insurance settlement to repair the school.
Two other Granite District schools — Granite Park Junior High and Cyprus High — were also damaged. In the Davis School District, Clearfield High School and Davis Junior High both sustained damage to expansion joints and the latter had damage to flooring.
Schools in the Jordan, Weber and Tooele school districts also received minor and mostly cosmetic damage.
Yet in places like the Salt Lake City School District, which had been retrofitting schools for years, no damage was reported.
Fault zone represents ‘catastrophic’ threat
Seismic risk looms large along the Salt Lake Valley, where the Wasatch Fault “poses one of the most catastrophic natural threat scenarios in the United States. The Wasatch Front has a 43% chance of a magnitude 6.75 or greater earthquake in the next 50 years, and experts project that such an event would be among the deadliest and costliest disasters in U.S. history,” the report states.
The proximity of the fault to a densely populated urban corridor is a key risk factor.
“This danger is heightened by the number of people who live, learn, work, worship or shop in URM (unreinforced masonry) buildings and may be unaware of the potential danger. Additionally, those who live in URM buildings often include a disproportionate number of disadvantaged and marginalized populations,” the report states.
Typically, unreinforced masonry buildings have brick walls with few or no steel reinforcing bars. During earthquakes, unreinforced masonry buildings that have not been retrofitted often collapse inward and outward, “crumbling on top of people, vehicles, sidewalks or other structures in and around them,” the report states.
The Wasatch Front Unreinforced Masonry Reduction Strategy study also notes that select Utah school districts have been retrofitting or replacing seismically deficient school buildings for more than two decades.
“While much has been done, a disparity exists between school districts with significant financial resources and those that are unable to overcome major obstacles in dealing with seismically deficient buildings, including a lack of viable funding mechanisms,” it states.
The report notes that Utah mandates that children attend school, “hence, the state should be considered a partner in ensuring that all schools are safe.”
According to the report, to create a risk-reduction program for schools, the following objectives should be achieved:
• Validate and finalize the statewide inventory of unreinforced masonry school buildings.
• Meet with individual districts to review inventory and discuss mitigation options.
• Assess building risks and prioritize retrofits or mitigation strategies.
• Establish a target date for all unreinforced masonry schools to be repurposed, retrofitted or demolished within a maximum 12-year timeframe.
• Fund seismic mitigation. Prioritize state and federal funding for school districts that are unable to develop local funding options.
Who is paying to be prepared?
By and large, school districts cover the costs of replacing or retrofitting schools themselves, although some have secured limited federal grants to perform the work.
Starting in the 1990s, the Salt Lake City School District undertook a comprehensive effort to retrofit and rebuild vulnerable schools spending more than $200 million from voter-approved bonds. The initiative expanded to $401 million over the next two decades, the report states.
The investment appears to have been prudent. There were no reports of damage to Salt Lake schools following the Magna quake.
The final two school rebuilds were completed in 2019. The district’s aging administration building is the last facility to be addressed. The school board has discussed plans for the structure on several occasions but the matter was pushed to the back burner while the district addressed COVID-19 impacts, said Salt Lake City School District spokeswoman Yándary Zavala Chatwin.
According to the report, the Salt Lake bond issues passed with high voter approval “because the city and parents of school-aged children had seen the effects of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake and wanted their schools to be safe.”
The magnitude 6.9 earthquake in the San Francisco area caused 63 deaths, 3,757 injuries, and about $6 billion in damage, according to National Geographic.
Murray City School District completed life-safety retrofits to all of its school buildings prior to the March 2020 quake. The effort commenced a decade ago using a combination of federal grants and bonding.
The Magna quake damaged only one Murray school, a nonstructural footlong crack at Horizon Elementary School.
According to John Masek, a licensed structural engineer who served as project manager for the Murray District retrofits, there is a large cost-benefit ratio to seismic mitigation.
“It’s often much more cost-effective to retrofit before an earthquake than repair or replace buildings after an earthquake damages them. Furthermore, and more importantly, seismic retrofitting helps to protect the lives of students and faculty in the facilities,” Masek said in a Federal Emergency Management Agency press release.
Granite opting to replace rather than repair
The Granite School Board decided that instead of repairing West Lake STEM Junior High, it would be rebuilt with the $37 million from insurance and emergency bonding authority covering the remaining construction costs, estimated to be $10 million to $15 million, said communications director Ben Horsley.
Since the start of this school year, Granite’s Westlake STEM Junior High School has operated out of the former Westbrook Elementary School in Taylorsville. The elementary school was vacant because the school board voted to close it in late 2019.
This academic year, some 900 students have been bused to the school, which is about 5 miles from their home campus. Modular classrooms were placed on the elementary school campus and the district made building modifications to accommodate a larger number of students and address junior high programming needs.
For instance, elementary schools use multipurpose rooms as dining space and gymnasiums. Since a junior high schedules gym classes throughout the day, it needs a dedicated space for that purpose. Showering and dressing facilities had to be established.
Earlier this month, the school board approved the acquisition of a $348,120 relocatable lab building to be placed at the temporary West Lake campus. The district has also spent at least $3.7 million on site improvements and purchasing additional school buses.
Although the insurance settlement would have addressed repairs to the 1960s-era school, it would not cover costs of equipment upgrades. Some of those upgrades are necessitated by advances in school technology but also changes in school operations and hygiene practices resulting from the pandemic, Horsley said.
The junior high had been scheduled to be rebuilt in five to 10 years, but the school board opted to push up the timetable while interest rates are favorable.
“We’re hoping to have it done on an expedited timeline. That obviously means everything has to go perfectly. But we’re hoping that students will be able to be in that building the fall of 2023. If it goes on a few months more, that’s OK, but that’s our goal and we want to have a big, hairy, audacious goal and try and get it done by then,” Horsley said.

Disgraceful fan incident at Jazz-Grizzlies playoff game damages Utah, Jazz fans’ reputation
Whatever happened to simple civility?
This past week’s disgraceful garbage fan talk toward the family of Memphis player Ja Morant at a Utah Jazz home game was the latest sickening, stupid, lame-brained mouth running that’s getting out of hand.
What’s wrong with people? How can we make folks accountable? How can we stop this dribble at our sporting events?
The Utah Jazz organization took quick action, banning three fans from Vivint Arena after this latest incident. Good on ’em.
A press release described it as a “verbal altercation,” but as James Dator of SBNation put it, this was more than that.
Fan smack is part of games. Some of it is funny and entertaining. Some of it is lewd, other parts are just stupid. But these kind of incidents give Jazz fans and the state of Utah a bad reputation.
Jazz fans are passionate, perhaps the most engaged of any in the league. These kind of acts by a few shouldn’t coat all fans with a broad brush. But it kind of does, and that is maddening.
This comes on the heels of a sad reminder of a similar incident in Vivint Arena in 2019, involving two Jazz fans and Russell Westbrook, then of the Oklahoma City Thunder. The fans were tossed and banned from the arena, and later sued the Jazz and Westbrook for alleged defamation. A judge threw the case out on Thursday.
This also comes right after a fan in Philadelphia poured popcorn on Westbrook after the Washington Wizards star left the floor with a sprained ankle Wednesday. Also this past week, a fan in Madison Square Garden allegedly spit on Hawks guard Trae Young.
This behavior is both a national and global issue, not to pick on Utah. We’ve seen international soccer fans behave outrageously for years, elevating the out-of-control motif to insane levels.
There’s a reason the word fan comes from the word fanatic.
But come on, people.
We have to be better than this.
We’ve been cooped up without in-person attendance at sporting events for a year. We’re just getting our coming-out party.
And this stuff is classless, hurtful and just sad.
Don’t let it define us.
Perhaps our lockdowns have fueled some pent-up frustrations. Many restaurant lines have longer waits. Services are curtailed because there is a lack of employees. Our supply lines have been restricted and delayed; just try to buy a piece of plywood at the hardware store these days.
Loss of patience. Unruly action. Lack of composure.
That’s where we’ve gone, folks.
And it has to end.
Let’s take pride in how we treat our guests. Be loud, be passionate, get creative, but leave the gutter talk where it belongs.
I’m proud of this state. We have tremendous people here from all walks of life, all nationalities, races, religions, cultures and backgrounds.
Generally speaking, you’ll find Utahns to be among the kindest, most generous, charitable people anywhere in this country, and I’ve been coast to coast looking at faces, meeting people eye-to-eye in airports, restaurants, stadiums and arenas. Utah is hard to beat for its ambiance and the innate grace of its residents, from St. George to Logan and all points in between.
We can be proud of that.
And that’s why this incident at the Jazz game is so frustrating.
You buy a ticket to a game to cheer, yell, scream and have fun. You don’t have the right to make it into something hateful and hurtful like this.
Maybe as a society we’ve grown into this. We allow so many unnamed anonymous posters on social media to bully and insult others like it’s some kind of game, a fun way to pass time.
It takes a small mind to insult. Civility is something we should have just by being citizens of this world, breathing and mixing with neighbors.
In the 1700s, English poet Lady Mary Wortley Montagu wrote, “Civility costs nothing, and buys everything.”

Milwaukee transfer Te’Jon Lucas helped recruit Alex Barcello back to BYU and they’re excited to play with each other next season.
As it turns out, Lucas helped recruit Barcello back to Provo.
“Barcello is an All-American guard. I love his game. I’ve watched a lot of film on him. I’d be grateful to play with him, another experienced guard. That’s what my job is going to be right now — try to get him to stay,” Lucas told the Deseret News last week. “I want to be able to play with the best, compete with the best. I feel like if we get him to come back, it will be good all-around for everybody. He has to make his decision and I want Alex to make the best decision for him. I respect his decision. But I would love to play with him. I will try to get him to stay there for sure.”
Barcello announced Friday that he’s taking advantage of an NCAA rule that allows seniors to return for another season due to the pandemic.
How were those conversations between Barcello and Lucas?
“He’s a phenomenal guy, a phenomenal player. I’m so excited to get on the court with him. He comes in June 11. The conversations were great. We’re both winners. We both want to win,” Barcello said. “He knows the coaching staff is a winning coaching staff. They do everything to get the best teams to play and also win those games and make the most out of every season. I think that’s what drew him in from my conversations with him. Being able to play with another great backcourt guy is awesome. You love to play with great players and he’s a great player. I’m very excited.”
Coach Mark Pope knows that Barcello and Lucas will complement each other well in the backcourt.
“Those dudes are so excited about playing together. You think about it — both of them are playmakers. It’s really important for us to have two playmakers on the floor. You could tell sometimes last year we got a little stagnant when we had only one of our two playmakers on the floor. When we had none, it was really troublesome,” Pope said. “Te’Jon averaged six assists a game. You can count on two hands how many guys in the country averaged six assists a game last year. The space those guys can provide each other and the playmaking ability they’ll provide for each other is going to be really special. We think it’s going to be a spectacular backcourt.”
Pope confirmed that Lucas recruited Barcello back to BYU and how the rest of the team can’t wait to play with a pair of experienced guards.
“I think AB’s really excited about (Lucas) coming,” Pope said. “Our guys know how hard it is to win. They don’t take it for granted. They’re hungry to play with great players. We want to do the impossible and take a step forward. There’s not very many spots to move up. They’re really excited to play with each other and compete with each other as well as the rest of the guys on the team.”
In 2020-21, Barcello averaged 16.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game. He shot 52.3% from the field, including 47.7% from 3-point range. He shot 85.6% from the free throw line.
Of course, Pope is thrilled to have Barcello on the roster again.
“Clearly, on the court, skill-wise, it means so much. Him being a mentor to some of the young guys we have in this program, it means so much. Him bringing continuity to the program means so much,” Pope said. “His toughness and experience mean so much. Then his ambition means so much. This is a testament to all of our guys that he believes that he can get better, that hard work actually can propel him to an even higher level as a basketball player. He’s reached the top of it already but he believes another year is going to give him an even better chance to go earn his way onto a team in the NBA. That’s what he’s chasing. For all those reasons, he’ll have a massive impact on the program.”
Barcello is looking forward to playing one more season of college basketball with his Cougar teammates and he’s optimistic about what they can accomplish.
“Whatever the outside world is saying right now, we don’t care about. In our basketball facility, players, coaches, everybody knows we’re going to be a really good team. One of the things that made me come back is I haven’t won a conference championship here. I didn’t want to lose in the first round of the NCAA Tournament,” Barcello said. “The feelings of that pushes you more and more and makes me want to come back. I know there were things left on the table, like a conference championship, where we were right there. We had the talent to do it, but it just didn’t fall our way. I’m so excited for Gideon (George) and Caleb (Lohner), who had phenomenal seasons. But they were young. They’re going to grow so much more over this next summer. I think the sky’s the limit for them. Trevin (Knell), Spence (Johnson) and Te’Jon are talented guys and good people off the court.”
Once again, Pope and his staff will be blending a team with a mix of returnees and newcomers.
“We have guys that just want to get better every day. It’s what you walk into the gym thinking. That’s what this coaching staff does and that’s why I think we’ll have another phenomenal season,” Barcello said. “Every single guy on this team is one piece to our puzzle. Somehow, with Pope and this coaching staff, it always meshes together well. And hopefully we’ll have another great season and hopefully get that bitter taste (from the NCAA Tournament one-and-done last March) out of our months, for sure.”

Normally at this time of year, Lake Powell’s water level would have risen substantially due to spring runoff, but not this year. It’s continued to drop through the month of May.
The steep vertical drop is recontouring the lake along the southern Utah border with Arizona, stranding launch ramps, and adding to the fears of boaters — while brightening the hopes of those who would like to see the lake permanently drained.
Is Utah’s favorite boating destination in deep trouble?
Chapter 1: ‘Lake lovers’
“We’ve been coming since 1980, 1983, so we’ve been here quite often,” said Richard Kass of Grand Junction, Colorado. He’s one of about 2 million people a year who come to Lake Powell to enjoy boating and the unmatched scenery. It’s an unnatural spectacle of sky-blue water in a red-rock desert. The dammed-up waters of the Colorado River are a shimmering man-made jewel for boaters, but there’s a lot less Lake Powell than there used to be.
“It makes you cry,” Kass said while hauling his boat out of the water at Bullfrog Marina, the primary boating destination on Utah’s upper end of the lake.
The level of Lake Powell dropped 140 vertical feet in the last two decades — 40 feet just since last year. It’s projected to go much lower over the next year.
“We have been experiencing a fairly severe drought over the last 20 years,” said Heather Patno, hydraulic engineer for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, which manages the Glen Canyon Dam at the Arizona end of the lake. “It is a really dry year,” she said. “Forty-one percent of average following a 54% of average year in 2020. The lake is dropping and it’s continuing to be forecasted to drop lower.”
This year it will decline to its lowest point since the reservoir first filled a half-century ago. The unprecedented drop has left a dramatic white “bathtub ring” on the tall cliffs that confine the lake. It’s also revealed surprising things hidden for years underwater, such as an abandoned sunken boat a few miles down the lake from Bullfrog.

The reservoir is now one-third full, stranding floats and buoys and leaving some shoreline facilities, such as Defiance Lodge at Bullfrog, far from the water’s edge. The main parking area for the Bullfrog Marina is now a half-mile from the docks.
“Two-thirds of Bullfrog Bay,” Kass said, “you can’t access it compared to what you could even last year.”
Of course, much of the lake is still hundreds of feet deep. Because so much of the coastline consists of vertical cliffs, the lake’s drop in elevation has not drastically reduced the surface area. The lake still promises boaters what the National Park Service calls “abundant recreation opportunities.”
However, the changing contours of the lake have revealed long-unseen boulders, pinnacles, and rocky ledges that create safety challenges. That’s been true nearly every year since the dam was completed in 1965. The lake has gone up and down many times, so it is always changing.
“It’s always a safety issue,” Kass said. “It’s even more so for people who think they know the lake. You have to treat it like a new lake.”
The National Park Service has decades of experience adjusting buoys, docks and launch ramps to the fluctuating water levels. This year is something else.
Almost two decades ago, the lowering lake left the launch ramp at Hite. It’s been abandoned ever since. This year it’s already put two more ramps out of business. That’s a big problem on a nearly 200-mile lake which — because of the wild and rugged surrounding landscape — has limited access only in small areas at each end of the lake.
The Antelope Point and Stateline launch ramps were closed this year, leaving only one public ramp at the Arizona end of the lake. One other ramp there is a private business that the public can use if they pay a “valet fee.”
At the Utah end, the Halls Crossing ramp, and an unpaved “launch at your own risk” access point are still usable near Hite. The Bullfrog Main ramp is closed. Instead, boaters are temporarily using the Bullfrog North ramp. It’s normally used for servicing houseboats and now must be shared by the Lake Powell Ferry and hundreds or thousands of people arriving at the lake with boats on trailers.
“It’s not too much of a hassle,” said Esteban Hernandez, of Eagle Mountain, as he maneuvered his boat at the end of the ramp.
Bullfrog North is much narrower than the Bullfrog Main ramp that longtime boaters are accustomed to.
“Seven boats at a time; this is down to two,” Kass said after pulling his boat out of the water. “So, it’s a whole different ballgame right now.”
“Plan ahead” for congestion, the National Park Service said, especially Memorial Day weekend.
For Lake Powell lovers, though, there’s still a lot of lake and plenty to love.
“There’s just less water,” Kass said. “There’s a lot more beaches, and the fishing’s been really good.”
“It’s pretty much the same old lake,” Hernandez said. His family has enjoyed boating on the lake for several years. They acknowledge the lake level is going lower and may stay that way for a long time to come.
“Which is not that bad,” Leslie Hernandez said, “but I don’t think it’s going to be the same until a few years (from now).”
Chapter 2: ‘Dam detractors’
“Society is going to have to deal with just how stupid it was to build that dam,” Richard Ingebretsen said.
On a recent weekend in May, he led a group of boaters who were delighted to find an enormous slab of rock rising from the water. It’s the long-submerged Gregory Natural Bridge, one of the world’s largest, emerging after decades underwater.
“We’re still quite a ways from being able to walk under it, but that day will come,” Ingebretsen said. “This beautiful arch will be restored. We’ll be able to see it next year.”
Ingebretsen is the founder of the Glen Canyon Institute, which has campaigned for the draining of Lake Powell for a quarter-century.
He led two boatloads of like-minded environmentalists up a side canyon of Lake Powell’s “Escalante Arm,” where they were able to beach their boats inside one of their revered destinations. It’s known as the “Cathedral in the Desert,” a natural feature that was swallowed up by rising water several decades ago.

Launching boats at Lake Powell.
This was probably the most idyllic place in all of Glen Canyon,” Ingebretsen said, admiring the huge natural grotto, complete with a sun-speckled waterfall, that was hidden from view for so long.
“Oh, it’s beautiful,” he said. “It’s spectacular. You come into a place like this and you’re awed at the nature of Glen Canyon. It’s hard to imagine that this has been underwater for all those years.
“I mean, seeing ‘Cathedral in the Desert’ come out of the water, it just really moves you,” said Eric Balken, executive director of the Glen Canyon Institute. “You can’t help but be taken by this place.”
Before the dam was built, only hikers and river-runners ever visited the natural cathedral. Frank Culver never thought he’d get a chance to see it. But he visited it in 2014 and saw that much of it was visible after years of drought. Pointing back to a bend in the lake, Culver said “when we rounded that corner there, I just burst into tears. I mean it was an emotional moment.”
At the base of the waterfall, Culver pulled out a hand-made wooden flute and played a four-minute improvisation that echoed around the huge grotto.
“There just aren’t other places like this,” he said after finishing his brief concert. “I mean, how do you beat something like this?”
The grotto still isn’t what it once was. Over the last 50 years, Lake Powell deposited at least 20 to 30 feet of sediment on the floor of the “cathedral.” Ingebretsen believes natural erosion will restore it if the lake keeps going down.
“Just the flow of water will gut this all out,” Ingebretsen predicted. “The future course of this whole area is restoration, and it will restore very quickly.”
Chapter 3: ‘Water worries’
“The reservoirs are doing what they were intended to do, what they have been intended to do,” said Heather Patno, who spoke for the Bureau of Reclamation. Without Glen Canyon Dam, she said, the last 20 years of drought would have taken a huge toll.
“Today,” she said, “there would be no water left to distribute to the 40 million people who depend on the Colorado River.”
Things are bad enough that the three lower basin states — California, Nevada and Arizona — will likely be forced to make an official declaration of a water shortage, committing them to tough conservation measures.
“The states in the lower basin will have to take less water,” Patno said. “They do have a plan for dealing with that.”

Lake Powell.
Nearly 100 years ago, water experts and politicians in seven states — the upper basin states are Utah, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming — worked with Congress to legally divide the waters of the Colorado River. But estimates at that time proved faulty.
“There’s a lot less water than what was put into the legislative documents,” Patno said. “We have really been reliant on some of the above-average water years.”
The Glen Canyon Dam is used as an “accounting system” of sorts. It’s used to release to the three lower-basin states their legally mandated share of the water that mostly comes from precipitation in the four upper-basin states. The dam also generates large amounts of electricity, a function that would become impossible if Lake Powell’s surface elevation drops too far.
“The elevation at which we lose hydropower generation at Powell is 3,490 feet (above sea level),” Patno said. “We are 73 feet above that right now. So it’s unlikely we’re going to hit that point this year.”
What about future years? Many scientists say global warming means the region will get even drier. Patno isn’t convinced.
“As you’re looking at climate change scenarios into the future,” she said, “some of those are wetter. So, we would be managing not only for extreme drought but for extreme flooding as well.”
Chapter 4: ‘Future fears’
“You have to see the positives, right?” Leslie Hernandez asked rhetorically as she stood with her family on a dock at Bullfrog. “You can still be on the water. You still have the canyons to look at. So, I’m sure there’s good things.”
Some Lake Powell boaters are worried that the 20-year drought might be a hint of the new normal.
“It’s very alarming, and I think there’s more concern next year,” said Kass. This year he noticed, for the first time, a giant boulder that emerged from the lake near the buoy where he ties up his houseboat. “Next spring would be, it would be really bad if we didn’t get the snowpack that we’re hoping for,” he said.
The boating facilities have been moved up and down many times over the years. The park service said it’s constantly assessing the situation and studying alternatives for continued boat access.
Supporters of the “Drain Lake Powell” movement believe nature is doing what they have long predicted and advocated.
“It’s going to be hard to keep Bullfrog Marina open,” Balken said. “It’s just logistically going to be near impossible.”
Kass thinks some boaters will always find a place where they can back their trailer into the lake. “So, I think small boats are OK,” he said. “But larger boats could get very dicey.”
The park service refused repeated requests for interviews and so did Aramark, the company that operates the lake’s marinas and boat rentals. They’ve given no specific information about how low the boating facilities can safely be lowered and what kinds of alternatives are under consideration.
“We are currently exploring temporary solutions,” the park service said in a written statement. “We do not currently anticipate any long-term closures of facilities … The park will do its best to minimize the disruptions in service.”
“The water is still great,” Esteban Hernandez said, standing in his speedboat at Bullfrog. “The water’s still warm. It’s the most beautiful lake ever to visit. So, there you have it.”
The worry and fear, the love and hope, are only heightened by the government’s current forecast: The lake will “most probably” drop another 35 feet by next spring, straight down.
Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell plays against the Memphis Grizzlies during the second half of Game 3 of an NBA basketball first-round playoff series Saturday, May 29, 2021, in Memphis, Tenn. | John Amis, Associated Press
After Kyle Anderson tipped in a missed Tyus Jones shot, the Jazz led by just three points, 96-93. Jazz head coach Quin Snyder called a timeout and Donovan Mitchell, set to check in after the stoppage, met his team in the huddle and pointed to his head. “It’s right here,” he said. “It’s all up here.”
Donovan Mitchell stood on the sideline in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter on Saturday night and rubbed his hands together, watching as the Utah Jazz’s lead slowly dwindled.
After Kyle Anderson tipped in a missed Tyus Jones shot, the Jazz led by just three points, 96-93. Jazz head coach Quin Snyder called a timeout and Mitchell, set to check in after the stoppage, met his team in the huddle and pointed to his head.
“It’s right here,” he said. “It’s all up here.”
Mitchell can’t keep from thinking about last year’s playoffs, about the blown 3-1 series lead against the Denver Nuggets, the mental lapses for three consecutive games that resulted in the Jazz being unceremoniously knocked out at the end of the first round.
The Grizzlies went on a 13-4 run to start the fourth quarter, tied the game and put the Jazz in a position where talent and skill weren’t going to be enough.
“A lot of it was mental,” Mitchell said. “It’s all about the mental part — locking in, executing and then also responding to adversity when you make mistakes, when you miss three shots in a row, when they make five shots in a row. That’s what the playoffs are, that’s what it’s going to come down to.”
The Jazz would close the game on a 21-11 run that included 11 points from Mitchell, seven points from Mike Conley, and a string of defensive stops that put the game out of reach for the Grizzlies.
As Mitchell and Conley got hot in the final minutes of the game, Mitchell was more subdued than he has been in the past. There was no overt celebrating, no hand clapping, no jawing at the crowd, no yelling or flexing.
Mitchell was quiet and reserved through the Jazz’s game-winning push. He’d hit a 3-pointer and remain stone-faced, Conley would hit a floater in the lane and Mitchell would turn around and start calling out defensive positions.
“Just trying to save your energy as much as possible, not needing to be as exuberant,” Mitchell said. “Not being as loud and demonstrative in my movements. Understanding that it’s a hard, long game of being pressured and it’s physical. Just go out there and try to execute the play...not having as much emotion behind it, because that takes away from the job at hand.”
Mitchell knows that the Jazz aren’t going to get through a game mistake free. The Jazz are not going to commit zero turnovers and allow zero offensive rebounds. But, Mitchell firmly believes that if the Jazz can stay even-keeled, keep their reactions appropriate and win the mental battle, that they can win this series and any other game that lay ahead.
“He’s thinking about winning,” Snyder said. “When you have a guy that has that much belief in himself, that much belief in his teammates and a competitive fire, he’s going to make some things happen. It’s not going to be successful on every possession, but he’s not going to be deterred either.”
Though, resisting the urge to think too far ahead is also an ingredient in the mental fortitude the Jazz are approaching every game with.
“We have to continue to be locked in,” Mitchell said. “This is just one game, and we have another one coming up in a few days. Just keep our same mentality, continue to adjust, continue to get better.”
It’s on the mental battlefield where the Jazz believe they are winning this series against the Grizzlies.
The Jazz lead, 2-1, in the best-of-seven matchup, not because the Grizzlies aren’t talented or skilled. The Jazz know that this Memphis team is capable of putting together runs and pushing the Jazz, but the Jazz are focused and calm, ready to win one possession at a time, one quarter at a time, one game at a time.

Two days ago Rudy Gobert was texting with Mark Eaton.
Gobert had become accustomed to texting with the Utah Jazz legend, he’d been to Eaton’s house many times, had many conversations with Eaton about life and basketball. Gobert looked up to the Jazz’s first two-time Defensive Player of the Year.
“I know that if he was here I would have got a text after the game saying, ‘way to protect the paint big guy,’” Gobert said with a smile after the Jazz’s 121-111 Game 3 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. “I know he’s watching, and I know he’s going to be watching through the rest of the playoffs and everything else. I feel his presence.”
Eaton had become a mentor to Gobert over the last seven years. The 7-foot-4 Eaton and 7-2 Gobert obviously had a lot in common in what they did on the court but they shared more than just basketball commonalities. They shared a similar way of thinking, a care for impacting their community, a drive to inspire others and spread kindness.
“His relationship with Rudy, I think, is emblematic of who he was,” Jazz head coach Quin Snyder said. “His ability to listen and then to offer counsel and support was something that was really unique.”
That’s what keeps coming up when talking to people about Eaton. Over and over you’ll hear those that knew him say that he was a great listener, a superb friend, and unendingly kind to everyone he encountered.
“Obviously he had a great career, but as a human being as a person, he was someone that I related a lot,” Gobert said. “I learned a lot just from being around him. He’s definitely going to be missed, and not just by me but in the community, with all the great things that he’s done and all the people he’s been inspiring his whole life.”
The news of Eaton’s death was shocking for everyone, and hit Gobert especially hard.
When Gobert took the court on Saturday night in Memphis, he was thinking about Eaton, and the way that he would have wanted Gobert to play, the way he would have wanted Gobert to own his position and protect his teammates.
“I definitely know I had to come out tonight and make sure I was doing everything to help the team get a win,” Gobert said. “Just, to honor him.”
Snyder described Eaton as someone fueled by compassion, able to motivate others in both direct and subtle ways. Gobert will continue to be motivated by Eaton, through the memories and time that they shared and while Eaton will be missed, he will not be forgotten.

The Utah Jazz beat the Memphis Grizzlies, 121-111, on Saturday at FedEx Forum to take a 2-1 series lead.
High notes
Mike Conley once again in this series was just as composed as anyone I’ve seen in a playoff game. When the Jazz needed to stop the Grizzlies’ fourth quarter run, Conley was there with the kind of play that only comes with experience. He shot 8 of 16 overall, was 7 of 10 from 3-point range, 4 of 4 from the free-throw line and finished the night with 27 points, eight assists, and six rebounds. He was an essential part of the Jazz’s win on Saturday night.
“Mike Conley, he was unbelievable. Just his quickness and his presence on the ball.” — Jazz head coach Quin Snyder
There are a lot of Jazz fans that are not happy about the actions of Dillon Brooks toward Conley. If you want to be mad about it, I get it. But, the jawing and chippiness and the physicality between these two during this series has been an absolute joy. You mad about the “headbutt” Brooks gave Conley in Game 1? Well you might have missed when Conley shoved Brooks into a screen in Saturday’s Game 3. Mad about some elbow tossing from Brooks? You might have missed Conley hanging onto Brooks’ jersey as he tried to cut. This goes both ways. Brooks is a little more obvious and Conley is just a little more sneaky. Either way, it makes the series fun, and I’m a fan of fun.
The Jazz started out Game 3 with the right intensity on both sides of the floor. With minor lapses here and there (which are to be expected every once in a while) they seemed to start the game a little more focused than they were in Games 1 and 2. They dropped off to start the fourth quarter, and we’ll get to that in a little bit, but the Jazz do seem to be getting more and more level-headed as this series progresses.
Jordan Clarkson is starting to get pretty good at drawing fouls at the 3-point line.
Royce O’Neale was offensively aggressive early on, hitting four 3s before halftime. He got into a little foul trouble and focused his efforts more on the defensive end later on, plus the Grizzlies finally started to guard him on the 3-point line, but recognizing that they were giving him room to shoot early on was huge for the Jazz.
When that Conley and Rudy Gobert pick-and-roll is running it is really hard to stop and it’s a thing of beauty.
Donovan Mitchell’s minutes went up from around 26 in Game 2, to 29 in Game 3. Though still slightly limited, and not nearly as efficient as he was in Game 2, he waited til exactly the right moment to put his stamp on the game. Mitchell scored 10 of his 29 points in the fourth quarter. Mitchell and Conley got this game under control for the Jazz in the final minutes. They led the team exactly as they should.
“You know when Donovan’s got the ball late he’s going to make a play...It’s not going to be successful every possession, but he’s not going to be deterred.” — Quin Snyder
Low notes
The opening minutes of the fourth quarter was a horrendous stretch for the Jazz. They turned the ball over, didn’t fight on the glass, missed shots, didn’t communicate on defense, and absolutely let the Grizzlies climb back into the game. To their credit, the heroics of Conley and Mitchell saved the day, but the Jazz wouldn’t have needed their heroics if they would have held it together for a little longer. Game 1 was a bust, Game 2 was 36 minutes of intensity and Game 3 was about 42 minutes of good basketball. The Jazz are getting closer to putting a full game together. Hopefully it happens sooner than later.
Offensive rebounds. I’ll say it again, offensive....rebounds. The Jazz just cannot give up four offensive boards in a single possession when the game is on the line and they shouldn’t be giving up 16 offensive rebounds to the Grizzlies, period.
“We were kind of trailing the plays, miscommunicating, not communicating enough on the cross match. When you stop defensively like that, bad things happen. They were crashing and real aggressive on the boards and we couldn’t box out.” — Rudy Gobert
Bojan Bogdanovic not finding his man or losing him rather than boxing out is a problem.
