State Division of Parks and Recreation supervisors say the natural feed on the island is as lush as ever because cattle do not graze here anymore. There are also 30 natural freshwater springs on the island, good food, good drink. When the island was privately owned, cattle consumed most of the feed, and the island supported only a small bison herd. Now, bison are kings of the island, and the State treats them Four people are aln e LAYTON today because of the efforts of Becky Guthrie. The Layton High graduate had the necessary training and was in the right place at the right time to perform lifesaving heroic deeds on three different occasions. The most recent was in March.

I could hear the baby crying, but the mother was not breathing. I pulled her out of the car and treated her for shock and then did CPR, Becky said.

Witnesses said Becky saved the child from bleeding to death, and then comforted the child until emergency medical personnel arrived. Officer Rod Dickson of Layton Police Department was the first officer on the scene. If not for Becky Guthrie's actions.it would have been a lot worse than it was and we have her to thank, Dickson said. When the car accident happened, I didnt even think about it. I just knew what to do, she said. Two years earlier. Becky was working at a Layton bookstore when an State University. For her actions, Becky is being recommended for the Utah Medal of Merit. The 700 bison also are accustomed to the little trip they take each year from the south side of the island to the north side to spend a week in corrals. Perhaps they know they will receive free vaccinations to fight against schedule. Last weekend was the 13th Annual Bison Roundup on Antelope Island. With the help of 300 horsemen, three helicopters and 11 chase vehides, the remainder of the bison were herded into the corrals on Saturday and Sunday. Each year the State sells about 150 bison to a variety of groups andor individuals. The herd on the island is one of Clipper Today Correspondent - KAYSVILLE "Educate before medicate. Talk with you your pharmacist, was the slogan of the recent National Pharmacy Week. Your pharmacist can be your partner to prevent medication errors, said Curt Price, of Bowmans Pharmacy. Introduced at Autumn Glow Senior Center as. your friendly neighborhood pharmacist," Price said a person should maintain a good relationship with then pharmacist as well as with then doctor. "Pharmacists, hospitals, care centers and assisted living centers all make mistakes with drugs sometimes, Price said. Our job is to help keep that from happening. Before his group presentation. Price met with seniors individually and discussed the prescriptions, medicines, food supplements and herbal remedies they were currently taking. He noted that some medications interact with foods and food supplements such as Ensure. I noticed that some of you are taking Lanoxin or Digoxin for the heart. You shouldnt take Metamucil or eat high fiber food within an hour after taking these Some antibiotics and drugs. Coumadin, a blood thinning medicine, also interact with certain foods. Price suggested you choose a pharmacist who keeps a complete list of all your medications, chronic medical conditions and allergies in the pharmacy computer system. This record er should include medications. vitamins, nutritional supplements and herbal products. You should also let your pharmacist know - KAYSVILLE Heber Hatch and Robb Merrill have been selected as Students of the Month at Davis Applied Technology Center for October. The two students will be honored for receiving this recognition at the North Davis Chamber of Commerce meeting today. Heber Hatch, a diesel mechanic student, has only been with the DATC since August, but has exhibited a great desire to learn the diesel trade as of any mail order prescriptions you use. Mail orders are okayT Price said, and there is usually a financial benefit. Just make sure your pharmacist knows about them. With this information oil hand the pharmacist can help protect you against harmful drug interactions, duplicate medication and other potential problems. Price stressed that when getting a new prescription, a pharmacist should offer verbal counseling, and provide printed information about the new drug. When you leave the pharmacy, you should know the brand and generic names of the medication. You should know what it looks like (shape, color and imprint of the tablet or capsule). When you get a prescription refilled, use this information to verify that it is the same medication. You should know why you are taking it. how much to take and how often. You should know how long you will be taking it and what side effects it tests might have, and any follow-u- p that may be necessary. You should know if this replaces another prescrip- quickly as he can. His diesel instructors, Neil Cheney, Mark Hadley, and Terry Rich, all agree that Heber is an exceptional, g student who will be able to complete his diesel training much earlier than most students if he hard-workin- continues excelling at the rate he has started. My grandfather, uncle and other relatives are diesel mechanics; Heber said. I have always been intrigued with diesels. I enjoy the hands-o- n training I am receiving at the DATC Heber, the son of Brian and Jeanne Hatch, is a junior and honor student at Viewmont High School. Heber enjoys big game hunting and down-hil- l skiing and will soon be an Eagle Scout. His greatest desire is to complete his diesel training and apply his knowledge and expertise as he helps operate a farm. He said knowing the diesel engine is essential for working on farm equipment.
