Show MARCH 29,2007 It flakes Sense. Page 10 THE GARFIELD COUNTY INSIDER By Veda Hale I have been asked what to do with those age spots that come on our hands and sometimes face as we grow older. It seems whatever I hear about I later find that the Food and Drug people send out a warning about. Now they are worried about any product that has "hydroquinone" in it because of animal studies suggesting that it might have cancer-causing properties. This is found in products lie Esoterica and Porcelana. Something else to try is the prescription acne or anti-wrinkle cream tretinoin (Avita, Retin-A, Renova) applied once daily for six months. If you really can't stand these spots, they en be frozen with liquid nitrogen or bumed away with a laser or intense pulsed light (IPL therapy. If you are young enough, you might look at some of us older people who didn't get around to being careful about sun exposure and take steps to use sun blocker creams and wear hats and clothing to decrease the damage direct sun can cause. I don't know abouton sun bum, but I've heard that toothpaste makes an excellent salve for burns. I tried Colgate and it did seem to work. Before spending money to buy an inhaler for a stuffy nose. Try a couple of Altolds peppermints. Peppermint can be an effective jolt to get stuffyness to loosen up. Achy muscles? Try 1 Tablespoon of horseradish in a cup of olive oil. Let it sit 30 minutes and use as a massage oil. Horseradish is also good to move things around in a stuffy head. Just smell it and see. Sour throat misery can be relieved with 1/4 cup vinegar with 1/4 cup of honey. Take 1 tablespoon six times a day. The vinegar can kill the bacteria. Did you know that a habit of wanting to chew ice can mean you are anemic? Also, that a diet high in Omega-3 acids—found in fatty fish—helps relieve depression. Hummmm, I wonder if Eskimos have depression. Send suggestions to Veda Hale, P.O.

LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN FOR UTAH'S RURAL AREAS, SMALL CITIES AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) will release the Long Range Transportation Plan 2007-2030 for public comment beginning March 26, 2007 through April 26,2007. This plan focuses on capacity projects in the rural and small urban areas of Utah. It can be reviewed at local libraries throughout the state, at UDOT Region offices or online at www.udot.utah.gov where comments may be submitted as well. "Planning for future transportation projects is a comprehensive process that requires the input and perspective of community members, elected officials and public agencies," said UDOT Planning Director John Thomas. "Utah is experiencing trernendous growth and an increased demand for transportation facilities." Small urban areas across the state are growing rapidly. The St. George area's population' has increased from approximately 26,000 residents in 1980 to more than 90,000 in 2000. It is expected to grow to more than 218,000 by 2030. Similarly, Cedar City, Heber City, Hurricane, Moab, Tooele, and Vernal all are growing at record rates. Public comments regarding the Long Range Transportation Plan 2007-2030 will help UDOT to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the state's plans to increase mobility and address future transportation needs. "Feedback from those who use our state highways on a daily basis helps us identify transportation solutions that will meet the needs of Utah communities," said Thomas. In addition to this plan focusing on rural areas, separate plans have been written for the metropolitan areas under the direction of the Cache Metropolitan Planning Organization (CMPO), Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC), Mountainland Association of Governments (MAG) and the Dixie Metropolitan Planning Organization (DMPO). When available, these plans may also be accessed on UDOT's website. Once public comments are reviewed, an executive summary of all five plans will be produced. This summary, called the Unified Transportation Plan, is due to be released statewide in July 2007. I Garfield County First come - first seved!
