Midday Metro starts at 11 a.m.

It's water week in Utah. According to the Utah Rivers Council, the Lake Powell Pipeline, Bear River water development and the Las Vegas water grab in Snake Valley will dramatically alter water resources and put Utah on a path to "water folly." Midday Metro goes to the source with UTC's Ted Wilson, Paul Van Dam of Citizens for Dixie's Future, and Steve Erickson of the Great Basin Water Network. All three of today's guests take part in a Utah Water Follies panel discussion at the Salt Lake City Main Library, Room C, at 7 p.m.

 

The Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities held a poetry slam on water at Barnes & Noble last week. Midday Metro features the winners all week long. Today: Lilli De Cair and Water, Water Everywhere. Thanks to Stephanie Duer for bringing the slam and its poets to MM's attention.

 

At 11:30 on The Bottomline: Picking a career. Whether you're new to the workplace or trying to reinvent your spot in it, The Bottomline goes to the source - award-winning author and career expert  Tamara Erickson. Join the conversation about her latest book -- Retire Retirement: Career Strategies for the Boomer Generation - as well as career advice for Generations Y and X.

 

Then The Bottomline goes to the opposite end of the job search to talk with restaurateur Steve Oldham, who needs to hire about 125 people to open a new Tucanos Brazilian Grill in downtown Salt Lake City.

 

Join the conversation.  Call 355-TALK or email midday@kcpw.org during the show to participate.
