Keep in mind that the things you do now play a key role in how your yard will look' next year. Apply your last fertilization. This should be done following, the final mowing of the season. The last fertilization is probably the most critical of the entire growing season and should not be missed. Research has shown that a late fall fertilization provides the rdost benefit and drought tolerance to the lawn the following summer. Once again, nitrogen is of primary concern. After your last mowing, e apply 1 pound of nitrogen fertilizer per thousand square feet of lawn. It is important that the nitrogen source be so grass has the chance to take it up before going dormant. Watering your trees. As the weather cools off the trees needs less water but they do need some water. Conifers, (trees that don't loose their leaves) need water all winter long. If it is a wet winter with lots of rain and snow your pines, spruces and firs will be fine but if it is a dry winter you should drag your hose out and water them about once a month. This is especially true if you have poor soils like we do in. most of Beaver County.

Heed Winter Weather Editor. By Brent Stapley, State Farm agent There are so many "rainy days" that people can experia sick child, a broken-dow- n ence car, a late mortgage payment. But what about a lawsuit? These days more and more not lawsuits are being filed just against big corporations, but also against people tike you and me. Litigation can be expensive when you add up lawyer's fees and settlements or jury awards. If you have assets, such as cars or a home, you should consider a personal liability umbrella policy. What is an umbrella? A personal liability umbrella policy is designed to give you extra liability protection. It can include coverage for various situations such as false arrest, false imprisonment, wrongful libel, detention, slander, defamation of character or invasion of privacy. This policy can be beneficial, especially if you are ever sued because of an accidental injury to someone else or damage to their property. For example, if a visitor tripped and fell down your stairs your homeowners insurance would cover his or her doctor bills.

If a jury awarded damages that exceeded your coverage limits, you could be in jeopardy of losing your home or other assets. This is where the umbrella could help you out by giving you extra protection. A personal liability umbrella can also be applied to your auto coverage. Why an umbrella? A personal liability umbrella policy can give you a lot of covabout $1 million worth erage small for a premium.

"When the first snowstorms hit the valley, we typically see a number of crashes, high because people just aren't used to adjusting their driving behaviors for winter conditions," said Robert Hull, director of traffic and safety for UDOT. "Snow, sleet and ice on the road require drivers to be more diligent, attentive and cautious. Winter weather conditions can turn small mistakes into serious problems." The safety and mobility of motorists during the winter months is a primary concern at However, UDOT UDOT. snow-plo- w drivers frequently talk about the risky driving behavior they see while they're out plowing Utah's roadways.

Letter Dear Sir, husband, son, and had the pleasure of visiting your town last week during the General Rifle deer hunt. We have visited your town in the past, and have noted the friendly manner of the residents that we have come in contact with, but have not, until now, commented on it. The waitresses at the Timerline Caf?(Timberline) were very friendly, and the employees at the Chevron Gas Station One were above reproach. staat Chevron man the young tion, a teenager, (I am sorry did not get his name, was too flabbergasted by his courteous manner) came over to check the air pressure on our trailer?s tires while we were getting water. We live in Southern California, and it is embarrassing to say that we do not see teenagers act this way very often. He is a credit to his parents that he was raised well, and has such a good work ethic. Throughout town, .at the Grocery store, the Post Office, and gas stations, we were met with a gracious and friendly attitude. Thank you all, we hope to visit Beaver again in the future, and look foreword to your hospiI My I I I Never attempt to pass a snowplow. Let them go ahead of you while they clear the road for you and other motorists s Don't get between when they're plowing in tandem Stay at least 200 feet behind a snowplow Slow down and be courteous Remove snow and ice from all of your windows before you get on the road Minimize lane changes Check commuterlink.utah. to see road conditions via gov e traffic cameras Call 511 to hear about road conditions on your route snow-plow- real-tim- DID YOU KNOW? UDOT has sprin- pop-u- p klers along Knudsen's Corner, wich is prone to icy conditions. These devices have built-i- n sensors that spray the road with an ice inhibitor when the roadway gets to a certain condition. This treatment makes the road safer by preventing ice from forming. . UDOT actively monitors weather conditions via weather stations along highways across the state. These weather stations measure valuable information such as pavement temperature, (differentiating precipitation between snow and rain), wind speed and air temperature. This information is then relayed to the Traffic Operations Center and to snow plow drivers, so the right resources can be directed to the most critical areas. te uses UDOT state-of-the-a- rt with' snowplows equipped tality. Sincerely, Mikki Twin Sharpe Peaks, CA video cameras mounted on the side of the truck. A small video monitor inside the cab heips the driver be more aware of approaching vehicles, the plow angle and his surroundings. UDOT crews start the snow removal process before the snow even falls. Crews spray salt brine on the roads before a snowstorm hits. If forecasters predict a snowstorm will hit the valley within 24 hours, UDOT crews the road with this watery solution. While many people think that spraying a watery solution on the roads will make them icy or slick, the salt brine actually lowers the freezing point of the roads, making the snow less likely to stick to the roads. pre-tre- at ELECT RONALD JESS BIRD BEAVER CITY MAYOR Served for six years on the Beaver City Council and on several boards for the city!
