Lakeside Heiew, March 19. 19B1 Education Budget Means Cuts: Teacher Pay Lower Than Asked the largest budget item year's legislative session was approved at an amount $24 million less ihan Gov. Scott Matheson requested. The $653 million education budget was increased by 6 percent over last year, and educators are worried. Even if Matheson got the additional $24 million he requested, there still wouldnt be enough money in. the coffers to pay for last years programs. So items are being cut.-Onitem of particular importance to teachers is salary. Teachers want a 12.7 percent increase in salary to keep up with inflation. But it looks like they will only get a 6 percent increase. Salary increases are tied to the increase in Education in this education appropriations the Job. Organizers of the project to keep motorcyclists off the foothills were Doug Burgin (below, right) and Cen terville Police Officer Alan Peterson (left). TAKING IT EASY after hauling a heavy utility pole up the hillside, Rick Barton reclines on the soft earth and William Van derMeyden takes a breather before they continue with Scouts Working With Police To Keep Cycles Oft Hillsides - , A troop of Boy CENTERVILLE Scouts and Centerville police officers have joined forces on a project to keep motorcyclists off the hillsides east of the city and to repair the damage already done to the vegetation by the cycle paths. We have been having a lot of problem with motorcycle riding on the east side of the city, Officer Alan Peterson said. , So, when Doug Burgin called the city office to ask for suggestions for a community project to help him earn an Eagle Scout badge, Peterson told him about the problem. , With Peterson and Sgt. James Oswald offering pointers, Doug organized other members of Troop 105 and the Explorer Post from the Centerville 1st LDS Ward into a work crew. Saturday, the boys, with Oswald and Peterson helping out, blocked off the well-use- d cycle paths with boulders and used power poles supplied by the city. They also smoothed out the terrain to reroute runoff water which has been eroding the hillside along the cycle paths. They also reseeded many areas in an effort to prevent further erosion. Doug is the son of Richard and Gwen Burgin of 340 S. 600 E. He is 12 years old and hopes to have his Eagle by the time he is 13. . Urban Horticulturist Extension Service We prune fruit trees to develop a strong healthy tree, regulate growth and shape, and produce quality fruit. Not all types of fruit are trained and pruned the same way. Home should realize that no text or picture will describe their individual tree; trees are all different, and no picture will tell you exactly what branch to remove or exactly where to cut. Gardeners should become familiar with the basic concepts of pruning and The bill was prompted by complaints that landlords made rules that were unfair and dictatorial in nature. . desired shape of various fruits, and then prune! Learn the objectives of pruning and then go to work. In pruning we first remove any diseased, insect infested, broken or damaged branches. This could be done whenever the problem develops. In spring pruning, we should remove competing branches, or structurally weak wood and do general thinning and shaping. Here are some general rules of pruning fruit trees. Prune all fruit trees at planting time to balance the tops with the roots. Training young trees is most critical. The basic shape and form of the tree is set the first few years by pruning. Mature trees generally need heavier pruning, especially if they have shown little growth. Prune the top portion of the tree more heavily than the lower portion. The best time to prune is early spring, just prior to active growth. Many home gardeners jump the gun and prune too early. Fall and winter pruning increase the risk of low perature injury. tem- Summer pruning causes more developing of the tree than dormant pruning. If a dwarfing effect is desired, summer pruning may be practiced. In controlling mature tree size, it is essential to accurately regulate the supply of nitrogen. Excessive nitrogen can result in vigorous growth and more pruning. Nitrogen deficiency results in poor growth and low quality fruit. Pruning stimulates shoot growth, especially near the cuts, but reduces overall tree size. The annual pruning demonstration sponsored by Utah State University will be held on Saturday, March 14. Pruning of apples and peach will be at the U.S.U. Kaysville farm, 850 South Main, Kaysville. At the U.S. Horticultural farm, 1817 North Main, Farmington, the pruning of small fruit will be demonstrated. Gates will open at 10 a.m. ' and close at 2 p.m. at both locations. cording to Frank Leaden of Roy, vice president of the Mobile Home Owners Cooperative Foundation.

The City Council Tuesday authorized Mayor Golden Allen to talk with the governor to urge him to veto the legislation which would distribute 10 percent of sales tax revenue to all cities in the state on a population basis.
