One object that is especially interesting in our winter sky in an easy location within the constellation of Orion is the noted Horse head Nebula (B33) This object is not often discussed in articles like this because it requires a good telescope and the use of a special filter to really enhance this object It can be seen with a telescope having an aperture of six inches but generally ten inches or more using magnifications in the range is required using a wide angle type eyepiece The use of just an eyepiece will show the dark filters will enhance the details seen region that form the nebular but special by omitting unwanted colors These filters ill attenuate the emissions of the nebula by reject other wavelengths of light The result is a view that nebula light reaching the eye is observed visually in dramatically increased detail If you own a telescope even in the four inches of aperture range go to a dark location and of course be sure that it is a moonless night and look near the star in Orion's Belt that is furthest east Swing our telescope slightly south (about one moon diameter) and see if you can spot the Horse head Nebula It ill resemble the photograph below only about l20th the size in your eyepiece It is an interesting challenge and many amateurs will attempt to see this elusive deep space object B33 is about 1200 light yean from us and is about one light year in size As previously stated your eyes for at least 20 minutes as this dark nebula is sometimes difficult in a 16 inches of aperture telescope DEADLINES Deadline for all announcements school news events etc 5 pm on Fridays o Horsehead Dark Nebula B33 located near the star Zeta Ononis the most easterly star in Orion's Belt The O a 'b ALL ADVERTISING Monday NOON Include self addressed stamped envelope for return of photos i he Dear Kditor It's time to recruit volunteers to help with our Forgotten Patient C'hristmas Project tah State Hospital to his project has helped thousands of tali's mentall ill at the enios hristnias oser the past 30 scars i luce again we are asking for our help to get tah citiens 'hat their help is needed in sponsoring a patient lor the word out to Christmas Could ou please run the follow ing announcement Christmas is a time to be josful and a time to be with tamils and friends but for man patients ssithout families at the I tah Slate Hospital Christinas can be the loneliest time ol the sear ach sear the Hospital recruits sponsors for oser 300 patients ranging in age from six ssho would hase no Christmas without the help of groups families and to ninety indis iduals in the communit was designed to help provide Christmas he Forgotten Patient Christmas Project girts for these people ho need to be remembered The success of the program depends and there are a variety of ways in which they totalis on volunteers from the community can help They can take a patient name ind provide Christmas for that person cash donations can be made and hospital volunteers will do the shopping or donations of generic items ma be made that can be jsed for anyone such as socks underwear deodorant brushes candy etc The Forgotten Patient Christmas Project is often the only touch of the holiday season that these people may experience Please feel the spirit of giving this holiday season and sponsor a forgotten patient or further information on how you can help contact Shavvna Peterson Volunteer Director at Sincerely Shawna Peterson olunteer Director I tah State Hospital O vUA And the class recites It' scripture noi tolaies the Hll ot Rights :v time m head Nn Bcomes ni'thni: In the ruie greit ni: or u:Jer ooJ nenivn o!

Answer by: Barbara Rowe Utah State University Extension Family Resource Management Specialist First of Two The best gift you can give yourself (and your family) this season is a careful watch on your wallet and spending Here are some tips to help you anticipate holiday spending and to realistically estimate the money available to meet those expenses Review your entertainment plans Are there ways to reduce food expenses? Would a potluck supper or progressive dinner be just as enjoy able as your traditional lavish buffet? Would lunch or brunch rather than dinner do? Is this the year to prune your greeting card list of former neighbors who are little more than a hazy memory? Review entertaining and policies at work and in your clubs and organizations Is this the year to change? Make a realistic gift budget before you begin any shopping Ask yourself: I How much of my current income can afford to spend on gifts? II How much can I use from sav ings for holiday gifts? III How much can I afford to buy on credit? IV Who do want to remember with gifts? V What price range is appropriate and affordable? If the answers to these questions reveal that the amount of money available is less than you need to complete your gift buying take a second look: I Are children's gifts preserving the magic of play? The basics artist kits board games teddy bears puzzles or books are likely to preserve budgets as well as imagination II Not all gifts have to be purchased Food and craft gifts are always appreciated However these items may require more time than you have It doesn't help holiday stress if you have more projects than you can complete Instead give the most personal shovel snow or clean the garage gift of all yourself Promise to III Preserve tradition with another special gift Assemble an album from grandma's cherished but unmounted photographs Record the history of an elder relative or the at a children's voices play Give family heirloom Next week: shopping tips for presents you plan to purchase DELTA AREA CHAMRLR OF COMMERCE) MEMBERSHIP CHPTSTMAS PARTY December 8 Noon Jade Garden Gift Exchange & Entertainment Meet the new Board Members o until POOR C |
