Show FARMINGTON Pie Cemetery Is not a park and ride in your Dont use the Farmington Cemetery for your car pool or "park and ride parking lot. Thats the word from the city City eye council. In recent action the council tightened restrictions on parking in the city cemetery. The way it is now, the cemetery is being used for a park and ride location," said Pat Achter, city council member. We should encourage people who want to park and nde to use the parking lot by the old city shops on 200 East." Recently the city has seen a greater influx of unauthorized parking in the cemetery, which has interfered with parking for those who are visiting grave sites. The new ordinance will give the city ticketing powers for improperly parked vehicles. The new amendment specifies that cemetery parking areas are intended for use by persons attending services within the cemetery or visiting grave sites, or for any other legitimate cemetery patron or maintenance use.

For visiting and volunteerism, theres much to be found By RUTH MALAN Standard-Examine- correspondent r KAYSVILLE - When it comes to visiting and volunteerism, theres no age limit at Utahs parks. John Olt, a volunteer with the National Parks, met with senior citizens at Autumn Glow Senior Center last week to let them know what is available to them in the national parks. This is Otts second year as a volunteer at the Golden Spike National Monument. Fees are needed to provide for the maintenance of both the state and national parks and monuments, he said, adding that 80 to 90 percent of the entrance fees to these areas are kept local and used to maintain the park or monument. Because of the importance of the fees and the desire of many senior citizens to visit parks and monuments, Ott explained the Federal Recreation Passport Program to give the seniors an insight on how to visit these sites. Most people who visit the United States want to see the parks and the country, said Ott, a retired mechanical engineer. Entrance fees are charged for entering designated federal areas and use fees are for using the services in those areas such as campgrounds, swimming sites, boat launch facihucs, cave tours or waterfowl blinds. This money is used to provide recreational opportunities, Ott explained. The Passport Program allows visitors to purchase passports to all of the nations parks and monuments for one fee.

She soothes the mothers anguish by staying closely by her side. With a calm word, the doula gently kisses the forehead of the mother to be. This particular care giver gives emotional support and bonds with women m labor. In this supportive role, she is called a doula. Doula is a Greek word meaning slave. Today, it is understood to mean an experienced woman who helps other women. She is a woman experienced in childbirth who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to the mother before, during and just after child birth, wrote Klaus, Kcnncll and Klaus in their book Mothering the Mother. The support of the father, or partner, is crucial in this program. It increases confidence in his important role," said Mardel Moreno, a trained doula.

This passport is good for one year and allows the holder and everyone in his or her car unlimited entrance into all federal entrance fee areas, he told the seniors. The Golden Eagle entrance pass is for folks visiting from overseas or Americans and it represents a good value, Ott explained, using Yellowstone as an example. The entrance fee to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming is $20. The Golden Eagle Passport is $50. You could go to Yellowstone as many times as you want in a year using the same passport and it can be used for all of the other parks, too. The Golden Age Passport is for persons 62 and older and is good for the rest of your life, Ott said. This passport is a lifetime pass to most national parks, monuments, historic sites, recreation areas and national wildlife refuges that charge an entrance fee, he said. The passport is only for citizens of the United States, is not transferrable and must be purchased in person where an entrance fee is charged. You must have proof of age to purchase it. There are some places where the passport gives the holder a 50 percent discount on services such as camping and cave tours. According to Ott, the government requires private concession operators of federally owned campgrounds to provide a 50 percent discount in the recreation use fee. The Golden Access Passport is for the permanently disabled and is a free passport.

She is there strictly for the comfort and by doulas for the mother include deep breathing, standing and walking with expectant mothers, and the use of mirrors so mothers can watch the delivery process. The doula often massages, uses acupressure and visualization techniques. Doulas also use hot tubs to aid the mother physically. The hot tub can facilitate labor during contractions. The weightlessness of the water eases the pain and can be a great comfort to the mother. Doulas go through a certification process that is part of their training. They must attend workshops and assist women in labor for a specified number of births. They read books and are required to submit reports. Utah has its own doula association, along with the Doulas of North America. Some doulas are affiliated with La Leche League, the national breastfeeding organization. The average fee for doula services in Utah is $250. Some couples have saved $3,000 in medical expenses through their doula. Part of the savings includes less medication for the mother. The $250 includes care at a couples home before going to the hospital. Moreno said, We are there for the entire delivery process and continue with the family after the baby is born.
