SHELLEY KANCITIS Review Correspondent The cancer was first diagnosed in 1981. Two years later it re- curred. The doctor told Clyde Pierce and his sister, Faye Sykes, that their mother would die within a year. He recommended they contact Hospice of Northern Utah. We promised Mom we would take care of her at home, so Hospice sounded like a good n idea, said Clyde Pierce, a resident. Marge Badger, one of Hose staff mempices two bers, was assigned to work with Pierce and his family. A warm and sensitive woman, Mrs. Bader is a registered nurse. People are a little dubious about having a stranger come into their house during such a difficult time. They wonder what Im going to do, said Mrs. BadLay-to- part-tim- ger. Faye Sykes and her brother soon found that Mrs. Badgers visits were the highlight of their week. Although Hospice workers give minimal physical care, they provide something just as understanding of the process of death in both physical and emotional terms. Before, nobody said you can expect this to happen or your mothers going to act like this. We know shes going to die, but what does that mean on a day-to-d- basis. Marge explains ay what to expect, Pierce. said Clyde For Faye Sykes, having someone to share her feelings with is critical. Other people say they know what were going through, but you cant really understand unless youve been there. I can tell Marge my thoughts and she un III at Home Rain or Shine Mom Laments the Terrible Twos derstands, said Mrs. Sykes. Along with understanding, Hospice staffers help families work through the dying process in ways which will comfort them after their loved one dies. We teach families to share their feelings with each other. To say all the things they need to say without embarrassment. Its so important to be able to tell the dying person, I love you and goodbye. Once they die, theres no second chance," said Mrs. SHARON NAUTA STEELE Special The day Julie turned For those feelings that are still too difficult to talk about directly, Mrs. Bader listens and encourages eventual sharing. Marge can talk to Mom about things she probably wouldnt tell us. She trusts her, said Faye Sykes. Along with emotional support, Mrs. Badger is able to assess Pierce. Lucille Dewey, a Roy resident, still hears comforting words, but they are only for her. Her husband, Eldon, died on Thanksgiving Day, 1983. They had been married 37 years.

Frostings require just the right consistency to adhere without tearing or causing crumbling. In choosing a frosting, select a flavor and type which will team tastefully with the flavor, consistency and appearance of the dessert. A cake to be frosted should be cooled and brushed free of loose crumbs. If you are frosting it right on the serving plate, protect the plate by placing four strips of waxed paper around the cake base while you do your decorating.

Actually, real, frosting does much more than add a decorative topping or filling for desserts. It provides a protective coating which seals in moisture. It also complements the cake with flavor, color and texture. Most frostings are variations of four basic types; fondant, and boiled, all of which require cooking, and the popular uncooked buttercream. Add glazes, sauces, whipped-an- d pudding-typ- e toppings, and you have a smorgasbord selection to enhance favorite desserts. Homemade frostings, particularly the cooked types, require close attention to measuring, beating instructions and cooking times for smooth, spreadable results with a soft, lustrous appear ds Two-year-ol- Greenhouses to Pruning Spring gardening classes will be held at the Utah State University Extension Service Horticultural Farm, 1817 North Main, Farmington.

Then I can go to work with some idea of whats going on, said Clyde to the Lakeside Review Utah Homemakers will convene Feb. 24 at 8:30 a.m. in the Salt Lake City Hilton Convention Center. The theme for this years convention is Homemaking a Rainbow of Traditions. Handbook now available, noted Rick Chase, extension weed specialist, Utah State University. In addition to recommendations for weed control in field and fruit crops, the handbook gives control recommendations for highways and roadways, . rangelands, waterways and weed control in small areas. Conversion tables are given for converting to tsps, tbls, and cups per 1,000 square feet the herbicidal recommendations that are given on the label in pounds, quarts or pints per acre. Chase explained that after you determine how much herbicide to apply on your small area, you determine how much water to mix with it in the sprayer. He suggests marking off a known ar- - ea such as 100 square feet. Start with a full tank of water, spray the 100 square feet as you would if you were spraying with an herbicide. Then measure the water required to refill the spray tank. That way you know the amount needed to spray the 100 square feet. Multiply that amount by 10 to determine how much water is needed to cover each 1,000 square feet. The Weed Control Handbook published by USU Extension Service can be obtained at cost of $1.50 through the local county extension office. Chase also suggests that gardeners obtain the extension publication, Weed Control for the Home-own- state. Highlighting the convention w ill be the announcement of Utahs Homemaker of the Year.
