He has since left the area to pursue interests in the Provo area. ; Salmond was with the department since its inception just over three years ago. He was the last officer of the original crew hired by the Naples Operations at AVMC go on inside and out Other than a few minor inconveniences inconve-niences the hospital is operating on their regular schedule, while progress pro-gress begins on a $3.2 million expansion expan-sion project at Ashley Valley Medical Center. Construction in the hospital's parking park-ing lot, however, has made the launching laun-ching pad inaccessible to life flight helicopters flying in and out of the area from LDS and the University of Utah hospitals. Helicopters are now landing and taking off from 100 North. The emergency room entrance to the hospital is also in the construction area and is inaccessible to the public. However, construction crews are in the process of installing a temporary emergency room entrance just west of the old entrance. At the present time, patients and visitors must use the main entrance at the north end of the building. Construction crews have fenced off construction areas and are in the process pro-cess of putting in footings for the new building. Crews members on the project pro-ject have requested that residents heed posted signs and do not enter the fenced areas on foot or in their vehicles. The major area of expan- LIFE AT MOUNT ST.

"We're finding problems with insects in-sects we don't usually have problems with," says Jay Karren, Utah State University Extension entomologist. Take the beet webworm, for instance. Back when Utah farmers grew sugar beets, the beet webworm made regular appearances. But when the sugar beet business faded in Utah in the early 1980s, so did the beet webworm until this year. Karren says the worms have shown up this summer in alfalfa crops in Piute County, where they are causing economic losses. While it is not unheard of for the beet webworm to infest alfalfa, the beet webworm's genetic cousin, the alfalfa webworm, is more at home in the crop. Karren says the alfalfa webworm hadn't been seen in Utah for 10 years. But this year, the pest has visited Uintah Uin-tah and Moab counties, causing economic damage to alfalfa crops in both areas. Another pest that hasn't been seen in 10 years is the brown wheat mite. But it showed up in some Box Elder 2 l COMMUNITY-WIDE FAIR S ) Jl August 3 - Naples Park r A 10:00 a.m to Midnight - OO s Come Join The Fun! Z" V For more Information call f3 V.

"It did so much damage the farmers plowed up their fields and replanted," Karren says. And in Carbon County, a kind of lepidopterous caterpillar has been plaguing peas, lettuce and other garden crops. (Both beet and alfalfa webworms also come from the lepidopterous family, whose members are more commonly known as moths and butterflies.) Karren points out that unlike the grasshopper, which seems to have little lit-tle respect for county lines, these unusual insect infestations are limited to small areas. He says it is unlikely the insects will expand their territory or numbers to any degree, and that farmers outside the isolated areas where the insects have appeared need not be concerned. The insects have probably been around over the years, keeping a low profile. So why did they wait until 1985 to make their presence known? "We think it's the unusual weather," says Karren. "These are simply ideal environmental conditions for the insects." 9 |
