( mm burning STOVE SPECIAL North Ogden Council by Carol Jean Shaw The North Ogden City Council passed a rather unusual resolution last Tuesday evening in response to a request Grom Weber High Schools student body president, Andre Malan, and the chairman of the home coming activities. Shot Muirbrook, to support their home coming. The resolution reads: We the city council of North Otden wish to express our support of the excellent student body and alumni of Weber High during their Home Coming Week. We recognize and appreciate the quality of the studenta, alumni, athletes, student officers an faculty. It is our desire and we do resolve that Webers football team emerge victorious over Roy High and that all activities, of Home Coming week be safe and successful. Passed this 25th day of September, 1979. On a more serious note, they approved a loan to the Sewer Utility fund from the Water Utility fund, passed an ordinance amending the zoning ordinance covering conditional uses of R-- 4 and R-- 5 areas, clarified their stand on the proposed storm drainage plan, discussed some proposed county-wid- e rules of procedure for the Planning Commission and approved a new roof for the city office building. Karl Storey reported to the council that he had inadvertently left two items out of the 1978 budget which had to be paid. The 1700 North project and some revenue bonds had to be paid off. Cash was used for the two items totaling $61,000. This was taken from the sewer utility fund, depleting it. A loan was approved to the fund from the water utility fund, which has plenty of cash, according to Mr. Storey. He said that the 1980 budget would have to be amended to repay the loan. The Conditional Use ordinance was amended to allow the building of certain professional offices, such as lawyers, within the R-- 4 and R-- 5 zones if they are approved. The city council agreed with Mayor Eldon McColley's storm sewer system is needed, but it stand that a county-wid- e ought to be directed by a special board, and not by the County Commissioners. Councilman Don Colvin summed it up: A storm sewer board is the only sensible and wise way to go. It removes it from the political arena and provides consistency over the years. The cities would be represented as well as the county. Mayor McColley explained that the county system would only include trunk lines to carry the water out to the lake. The cities would have to build their own collector system. The Planning Commission asked the council to provide them with some rules of procedure, so the council went over a preliminary set of guidelines, making suggestions. These will be rewritten and brought back to the council for approval. The city office has had a severe problem of leakage through the roof for some time. It has damaged the interior of the building. The council had approved a new roof previously, but the proposed plans did not meet safety specifications. A pitched roof is necessary to place the stress on the supporting walls, rather than the celling. This cost more money than was approved. So 'iMmlliiMii Women ecujoy middle ago mtiufiiju At the age of 49 or 50, with her children safely on their own and two-fiftof her life still ahead, the average American woman has a chance to enjoy middle age and hers is the first generation that can. At the same age, she is likely to experience the onset of menopause. To make the balance of her life as profitable, pleasurable and rewarding as it can be, the American woman must shake off the (Militating myths about menopause that were espoused as gospel truth by her mother IV hs FEDS KILLING US WITH THEIR KINDNESS? and grandmother. Alice Lake, writing in the October Readers Digest, holds these misconceptions up to the light of scientific knowledge, and speedily dispatches them. Among them: The major menopausal symptom, the hot flash, is horribly traumatic. 'For most women, Lake writes, This is gross exaggeration. According to a government survey, at least one woman in six experiences no unpleasant symptoms at all. For one woman in ten symptoms are severe, but they can be modulated through estrogen therapy, which must be carefully monitered by a physician. Menopause leads to depression and mental illness. To the contrary, Lake points out, the peak period for suicide attempts occurs in the early 20s. Most women are delighted to be infertile in the middle years, and despite anxieties of mid-liflook forward to moving ahead. The empty nest, long regarded as a crisis period, was perceived by only nine per cent of women interviewed as the worst thing about middle age. Menopause is a deficiency disease, like diabetes. For openers, its not a disease. Along with cessation of menstruation, other physical symptoms will appear in time but not necessarily at the onset of menopause. There may be flashes and vaginal discomfort may appear. On the other hand, menopause does not signal the end of a womans sexuality many women reach their suxual peak in the middle years, Lake notes. All skin will wrinkle. Dr. Norman Orentriech, New York dermatologist and authority on aging skin, says: All my laboratory research suggests that female skin ages faster than male because estrogens thin the skin, and thin skin, while soft and pretty, is more susceptible to lines and wrinkles. Lakes advice: If you want to protect your skin from aging, shun face creams containing estrogen, use a moisturizer, and either stay out of the sun or use a sun screen to avoid its damaging rays. Many women feel super once menopause has passed. One had this to say: I would not trade the appearance of youth for the ease of interpersonal relationships or the that comes from experience. It looks as if the best is yet to come. This material will appear in book form Our Own Years; What Women Over 35 Should Know About Themselves soon to be published by Random House. e, By Edwin Feulner In what might be called a bitter tum for the worse, a little known act of Congress intended to prevent child poisonings may be killing older Americans. Or so say three New York physicians, Frederick D. Sherman, Joshua D. Warach,"and Leslie S. Libow, in a recent article in The Journal of The Americqn Medical Association. was the Poison Prevention Packaging Act Tut, law most and that mandates and decade a drugs ago passed nearly prescription medicines should be packaged in containers with child proof safety caps . situation for Ironically, what prevents a a child can be a direct threat to the life of an elderly person, the three specialists in geriatric care say in their commentary . The reason is simple. Many elderly patients hampered by a variety of crippling diseases and infirmities find it difficult to open the containers .Thus, they don t take needed medication. One pharmacist at Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena, California, described the situation as chaotic bordering on comical: Elderly patients have related many instances to me describing their dilemma in trying to open their prescription containers and the variety of instruments they have used in the process: pliers, hammers, screwdriver, one patient claimed that canopener and feet stomping on his bottle worked. . . . Another patient stated that her seven-year-ogranddaughter could open her bottle when she, herself, could not. If, like me, you've ever had to wrestle with a pill bottle, you can imagine how difficult it must be for older people, whose fingers aren t as nimble or as strong as they used to be . Interestingly, this is just one example of government regulation gone haywire, say two very observant business executives in the Fall issue of Policy Review. Amway Corporation's founding fathers Jay Van Andel and Richard DeVos also note that: Government regulators insisted that children's night clothing be made flame resistant, only to find out later that t, TRIS, the chemical may cause cancer. Under pressure from environmentalists, the government has proceeded to ban many of the most effective chemical pesticides developed since Worltj War II: first DDT, then chlordane and heptachlor. and so on. The s, results, according to the late Dr. Robert H. former Chairman of the Bureau of Conservation and Environmental Science at Rutgers University: malaria is again on the rampage around the world and our own West this summer experienced the worst grasshopper plague since the Depression. As Prof. Murray L. Weidenbaum suggests, in his new book, The Future of Business Regulation (American Management Associations, 1979), maybe what we need most is some way of regulating the regulators. Prof. Weidenbaum says "Government should learn that its decisions often can produce long-terand unexpected consequences." Which is perhaps the saddest and least discussed aspect of the entire controversy over regulation the fact that in their desire to help, the bureaucrats may actually be killing us with their kindness.
