Show Page - Millard County 2 USPS s ffiomnumta I’m not as cranky this week as I have been and I think part of it is because I “got out of Dodge” for a few days I attended the Job Training Partnership Act Conference which was held in Salt Lake in conjunction with the Governor’s Conference on Tourism and Economic Development Regardless of the conference lineup these events are terrific for seeing old friends making new ones and picking brains for all sorts of ideas to bring home and use in our area As with most conferences there were good speeches speeches and poorly veiled political speeches - those were the worst But as usual there were all sorts of attendees You could just wander around and never run out of interesting people to talk to on about any subject The JTPA attendees are by far the most diversified as the make up of the Private Industry Councils is dictated by law Members of the councils must labor schools represent aging services employment government agencies and more than half of the council must be from the private sector I talked to people from the Southwestern district who said they would send information (tons of it) that helped them make their decision to not - - Tburs Feb u 11 1988 allow a hazardous waste incinerator to their area I talked to people from Grand County who are trying to get their grape industry underway I talked to state agency people and found out that several commercials have been filmed in our area and that Little Sahara was 2nd choice for “Rambo III” I talked to people who want to do a history book like we are doing so I sent their names to Curtis Media I also talked to people who want to market so I gave them products in Japan Jane’s address I also attended the awards presentation to the young entrepreneurs of the state What a bunch of go getters Some of those kids make more money on a part time basis than a lot of us make full time I guess no one has told them “it isn’t possible” “you can’t do that” or “that’s a dumb idea” Some of the finalists were doing fairly traditional things and some had been very innovative Gives one hope to see the up and coming business people It was very stimulating to talk about ideas and projects for three whole days People at these kinds of conferences are always so upbeat and stimulating makes you feel good about life again - at least for a few minutes More news from Japan You and Your Child: gnt Success in School by JIM CAMPBELL Utah Education Association President Schools teach reading skills but the responsibility for teaching children to love books and reading to read with an exceptionally high level of skill rests with parents I didn’t write that Paul Copperman did He’s president of San Francisco’s Institute of Reading Development His book Taking Books to Heart: How to Develop a Love of Reading in Your Child tells h'ow to do that The book doesn’t just tell parents to read to their young children--i- t tells s them how Here’s some of advice: Make reading to your toddler who hasn’t yet entered school a nightly event You can start the routine when the child is only a few When reading aloud months old becomes part of the nightly routine don’t let anything break the pattern “Television is not only filled with bad news it is bad news” writes He recommends no more Cooperman than 10 hours of TV per week for the child The book points out that reading aloud to the child triggers the child's TV with its movement imagination sound and color leaves little to the imagination Don’t hesitate to tell your kids that it’s “story time” This activity the author promises “is so pleasurable for children that once a pattern is established they will become your strongest allies in seeing that it’s maintained” More Copperman advice: Read the story to yourself parent before you read it at "story time” Note points in the story that might call for some kind of special effect like knocking or a door or the whoosh of the wind Paul Copperman says there’s a double payoff for instilling a love of reading in your child: It’s fun for both of you Free shade trees for spring planting The National Arbor Day Foundation is giving ten free shade trees to each person who

February 29 1988 by Jane Beckwith Foreign Correspondent Since I have been here in Japan I’ve are found out that Japanese basically pretty similar to American Of course these students have fewer choices: they can go to school or study or play sports at school At home they say they watch TV or study or go shopping or sleep They like to listen to music American and Japanese but they have fewer choices that’s against They can’t work school rules They can’t have a car or a driver’s license Even with all that they are a pretty happy bunch Imagine r would say what an American if the school wouldn’t let him or her have a job I would be able to hear the racket clear over here One thing that Japanese students have all talked to me about is their favorite food I think every kid here as much as must like okonomiyaki Americans like hamburgers or french fries And Hiroshima is famous for a parSo far I ticular type of okonomiyaki have eaten about three different kinds of the same food But I agree Hiroshima style is the best When I was in Tokyo my friends and I stumbled across a Japanese store that catered to department Japanese tastes Near the door a man was cooking a huge pan full of the looks of how much By something he was cooking we decided it must be good stuff so we watched as he loaded the pan with shredded cabbage and sprouts The pan was about 24 inches long by about 18 inches and he deftly cut the okonomiyaki into squares then broke an egg on the top of each of them and flipped every one over It looked good but since coming to Hiroshima I’ve become a fan of Hiroshima style It starts with a crepe a very thin pan cake On top of that is piled cabbage and maybe noodles then bean sprouts and onions I've had it with pieces of squid but believe me that doesn’t improve its taste Strips of the top and a little bacon more pancake is dribbled on top of that and an egg added Then the whole is over pretty delicate flipped thing operation since the stack of cabbage and other stuff is about four inches high and at least seven inches in diameter The vegetables steam down and the cook sort of smashes them further Then he dribbles a sweet brown gravy on top and there you have it Hiroshima pizza the most popular food in town except for green tea ice cream Here’s a great Christmas or anytime dessert It’s a Chinese recipe taught to me by a Japanese friend Cut two yams or sweet potatoes into chunks about bite size Skins off of course Deep fry them until they are totally cooked and set them aside to drain After the meal put about I 12 tablesppons of oil into a wok and add about cup of sugar when the oil is hot Cook the sugar and oil until all the sugar melts into a smooth brown sauce You’ll want this to form a thread in just a minute Before placing the potatoes into the sugar sauce make sure they are quite them in the warm by reheating microwave Do you think Chinese have You never know microwaves? stir the potatoes into the Anyway sugar and cover all of them with the sauce Slide the potatoes into a dish and lift each potato up so that the sugar spins a thread It’s easy to use a pair of chopsticks for this trick The dish should end up looking like a beautiful tangle of potatoes and double sweet and Golden sugar delicious Museum News Happy Valentines “Old but not forgotten” The County Agent Community Calendar Beginning June 15 Motor

comes out with the maddening report that for most of the nation indoor air pollution is worse that outdoor air pollution One of the reasons the EPA was formed was to clean up our air and water However all this time we have been paying taxes to make the outside air more breathable our indoor air may have become more of a hazard The EPA report titled “The Total Assessment Exposure Methodology and (TEAM) Study: Summary Analysis: Volume I” is not great reading It is chock full of graphs and tables but according to Dr Howard Deer Utah State University extension its summary brings out toxicologist some interesting points Among them he notes: First and most ominous of the findings is that our indoor air is worse than our outdoor air This probably should come as no surprise since we have been gradually making our homes and apartments more air tight to conserve energy This means whatever we introduce pollutants likely stay there Sort of like a Utah Valley inversion Another surprising finding is that ing near industry really does not have Consumer Delta Area Bv much effect on your exposure to toxic chemicals Reemphasizing the problem indoor pollution the report concludes that personal habits are far more detrimental than point sources such as of chemical plants and petroleum refineries Indoor pollution was also more of a hazard than exposure to dry cleaners and gasoline stations The water at the test sites was also checked to determine if it was a source of pollutants The study found that 99 percent of the pollutants came from the air Some of the sources identified were: 1) smoking and passive smoking 2) visiting dry cleaners pumping your own gas and being exposed to auto exhaust 3) chemicals in paint cleansers and in aerosol sprays and propellants building materials such as insulation resins and adhesives Before you cut off your roof or go live in a tent you should realize that these findings are at least partially due of measurement to the refinement devices Because the measuring devices are more sensitive they can detect more chemicals This EPA study is one of the first of its kind so it is difficult to say if indoor air is significantly better or worse than in prior years Future columns will look at air and water filters designed 'o cut down door pollution rNE® Fillmore Area Kiifl Irllrrv Date Jan Sat Sun 31 Pet owners can help stray

an important part of Fillmore’s history When she returned to Salt Lake Cithe contacted she of people many ty she hoped would be interested in the restoration of Utah’s first Capitol building She also envisioned it as a museum of pioneer artifacts She was an active member of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers (DUP) organization and it was this group that accepted the challenge of restoring the building and Besides Mrs creating a museum other DUP members inMelville strumental in this monumental underHannah taking were Flora Horne Huntsman May Stevens Nellie M Huntsman and Mary A Dame In the Prudence Carling Robinson words of Mrs Dame “There are few people living today (1973) who would have any idea about what this project involved in the way of good hard 18” The Territorial Statehouse has been used for many purposes over the years besides being a “statehouse” its rooms were used for offices schools a jail courthouse and other uses too numerous to mention Although the building served the community faithfully for many years by 1921 it has been neglected by everybody and had been abandoned by the city as a useful public building It was at this time that a former resident of Fillmore Mrs Maude Crane Melville went to visit the once majestic where both she and her building mother had taught school and was shocked and dismayed to find the windows broken doors sagging on their hinges paint peeling and every kind of filth and debris cluttering the floors Photographs of the old statehouse during thse years shows a building that looks as though it was ready for demolition Mrs Melville whose husband was also originally from Fillmore and was now a prominent Salt Lake Ciwas determined to do ty attorney work” On July 24 1930 during the Old the old Capitol Days Celebration Statehouse was officially dedicated as a museum The dedicatory address was given by Utah Governor Dern Mrs Melville’s dream had finally become a reality Museum hours: Tuesday-Sa- t urday 8:00 am to

snowmobiling and Vehicles (OHV’s) In the article it was stated that “all operators between the ages of 8 and 15 are required to wear a helmet while operating on public lands or roads” It should have read “between the ages of 8 and portions of foods as these pass through your stomach quickly High protein foods such as lowfat dairy foods and lean meats (tuna baked ham broiled chicken) take longer to digest However these can be included in meals in moderate meals should avoid amounts high fat foods such as hamburgers sausage peanut butter fned foods and condiments such as mayonnaise If they are in meals they should be in small amounts Some examples of high carbohydrate foods from each of the four food groups are as follows: Milk Group Lowfat milk Skim milk Pudding Lowfat yogurt F egetable Group Potatoes Bananas Corn Peaches Peas Meat Group Refried beans Pinto beans Navy beans Blackeye peas Grain Group Whole wheat bread Rice Pasta Oatmeal High sugar foods such as honey soft drinks or sweets eaten an hour or less before competition can actually produce low blood sugar The short (15 minutes or less) duration of elevated blood sugar causes a release of more insulin which then rapidly causes the blood sugar level to drop This in turn can leave you feeling tired and weak The National Dairy Council has several excellent publications concerning nutrition and its effects on your
