Addressing the issue of how much water is used in the fracking process, Perry said the three wells in Nevada which have used fracking to stimulate oil production have used 250,000 346,000 and 209,000 gallons of water each. For comparison, a domestic well is 2 acre-feet of water a year - a typical irrigation pivot uses 400-600 acre-feet a year. (an acre-foot of water is equivalent to 326,700 gallons) Any application to use water in fracking has to go through the same water rights application and allocation process as any other use.

Sun staff members got a kick out of the curious cow who posed for the photo on page 28 of the Nov. 25 edition of the Sun (Bovine Beauty), who they affectionately named "Bessie."

The Sun thanks Reba for being so photogenic!
In the story "Pine Forest Bill ready for hand-off" that appeared in the Jan. 23 - 26 edition of the Sun, the seventh paragraph on page 12 should have stated: Congress gave the BLM five years to complete work on the land exchanges.
