iaaaaapaaaaaaaeaaaaaauaaaaaaar every day He says one picfalj in the Delaney Clause is that it bans use of ca1 emogens but not toxic substances I or example some pesticides are highly toxic but have not been found to be carcinogenic They are so toxic tliat lab animals die long before they could develop cancer Hie Delaney Clause prevents tlie use of some new pesticides even though the risk of contracting cancer is far less tlian tlie cliance of being poisoned while using die pesticide Deer says As the technology of science becomes better he says we are finding tliat nearly everything even otgamcally grown foods contain minute amsaums of carcinogenic substances Of course the Delaney Clause does not Lave authority over natural foods only processed foods Although it may not be true tliat "everything causes cancer" we are coming close to finding that nearly everything may contain carcinogens in infinitesimally small amounts W'e probably will need to rethink our notion of "no cancer risk" and change to more realistic such as something "negligible cancer risk" Deer says Quality child care growth industry by Dennis Hiukamp Information Writer L'lak Mate University Child care a growth industry and a seller's market In most areas of the country there are more families who need child care than there are businesses to provide it The National Academy of Early Childhood Programs is currently the only national organization accrediting child care programs according to Dr Shelly Eindauer early childhood specialist in the Utah State University College of family Life She says since the accreditation process is new the organization stresses tliat unaccredited facilities should not necessarily be considered inferior However Lindauer suggests that at least knowing the guidelines can help you cl loose a cluld care center Slie says tlie general requirements for aca edited programs are: frequent positive warm interactions among adults and childien Planned activities aplearning propriate to childi en’s age and development such as block building painting dress and stories active outdoor up play Specially trained teachers Consumer is Enough adults to respond to individual children’s needs Many varied materials A healthy safe environment for children Nutritious meals andor snacks communications with Regular parents who are welcome to visit at all times Lindauer says the accreditation requirements clearly outline tlie qualifications of tlie child care staff and the staffchild ratios required for various age groups An important component of lie probetgram should be communication ween staff and parents she says This includes a written statement of philosophy of die school information on tlie content of meals and snacks and when progress reports requested Lindauer says tliere are thousands of for information on accreditarequests tion so it is just a niatter of time before the program becomes more widespread Slie says she knows of one instance where the paients of the childien in tlie child caie center raised the money themselves to help tlieir center get accreditation Success in School by dlU Cf CAMPBELL Utah Education Association

deadline is by Dennis Jlinkamp Writer Information Utah Mate University Although you may never have heard of tle Delaney Clause you are affected by it every day It is at least partly responsible for the '80s lament "everything causes cancer" in 6hort the Delaney Clause prohibits Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of any food drug or color additive that is found to induce cancer in humans or animals The truth is almost everything you eat drink breath or wear carries some degree of risk Although we shoot for zero risk in foods and drugs our sophisticated analytical equipment makes finding anything with a zero cancer risk almost impossible says Dr Howard Deer Extension toxicologist at Utah State University Deer says in I960 when the Delaney Clause was enacted the reliable level of detection was one part per million Today the standard for reliable detection is at least as sensitive as one part per billion We currently have the technology to detect some substances in amounts of one part per trillion or even one part he says per quadrillion How small is that? One part per billion is one inch in a 16000 mile trip One part per trillion is a hair width in a trip around tlie earth's equator Deer says the way the Delaney Clause is written now it allows for Consumer tTITTHllIIHinHTmtn 3 mining Regional economic variathe need for tion justifies regional strategies from rural Outmigration Utah continues but is slowing Major new business activity is occur ing in at least 18 of 25 counties surveyed Many rural counties have alarmingly high school drop out rates — Infrastructure provides rural Utah with a competauve edge over many areas of tlie nation Access to technology is a problem for most of rural Utah with the exceptions of Cache and Utah counties Rethinking the Delaney Clause 2J4 Hkmam f "Over the makes less today compared to workers elsewhere m the state tlan that worker did 10 years ago Rural areas are no longer dependent on agriculture and are becoming less dependent on Several major forces impacting rural economies have been identified in the SRI International study "Utah's Rural Development Strategy" Rural economy specialist Ed Meyer said they include Global competition "W'e need lo recognize that we now live in a global economy" lie said — Industrial shifts "We're strucseeing some tural changes m some industries” he said Technology "The impact on agriculture and almost every other industry is significant" lie said "and that effects rural Meyer also noted conclusions from the study that should be kept in mind in plans to turn rural economies around The conclusions are GrculaUooComp CrrculattontProducbon Sbetbe Diabetes meeting Counter Drugs" by Roger Kiilpack 7 pm Fillmore Community Hospital March IS Llections for MHS PTA officers year during parentteacher conferences Meeting $o organize Chapter of Utah 7 pm West CenWildlife federation tral Utah Vocational School March 16 DAV Representative at Delta Job Service 12:30 -
