I 11 X Brought A TEEN S First Car THREE SAFETY TIPS Helping young drivers choose their first car isn't easy. They often want sporty sedans, pickup trucks or off-road vehicles. But these aren't the safest choices for inexperienced drivers. Parents should try to steer their teenage children to cars that won't encourage dangerous driving. Here are three tips: 1. Look for an automatic. Automatics enable new drivers to concentrate on steering and braking without the distraction of shifting gears. Also, speedy getaways from stoplights are less enticing with an automatic transmission. 2. Bigger is safer. Small cars have more than twice as many occupant deaths each year as large cars, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. A basic sedan may not excite a teen, but it will provide satisfactory transportation and a fair sense of freedom. 3. Choose the tamer model. Many sporty cars have safer models, tf a sporty car is being considered, avoid the highest-performance models. The more traditional vehicle will be less inviting to dangerous dnving. It will also cost less to buy and be easier to insure.

"It's humbling.yet gratifying to be a school superintendent," concludes Baugh. "I realized immediately that my success as Superintendent would be dependent de-pendent on others-a wise Board of Education, professional administrators, ad-ministrators, dedicated teachers, and interested parents and students. Hopefully, working work-ing together as an educational family, we can help every child find a better life."

STEVEN BAUGH Edward Jones ranks No. 1 Edward Jones ranked No. 1 in a 12-month performance in the Wall Street Journal's quarterly stock picks ranking for the quarter ending June 30, 1997, according to Edward Jones investment representative repre-sentative Steven H.

In an attempt at-tempt to make the public more aware of prostate cancer, the week of September 22, 1997 has been designated Prostate Cancer Can-cer Awareness Week. Nationwide prostate cancer is expected to kill 41,800 men this year. In Utah 240 men will die from prostate cancer this year and 1,200 men will be diagnosed diag-nosed with prostate cancer. The American Cancer Society recommends that men over 50 have a Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Test and Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) annually, an-nually, as should younger men who are at high risk. African-American African-American men have the highest incidence rate of prostate cancer in the world. The prostate gland is part of the male reproductive system and is about the size of a chestnut. Methods of prostate cancer treatment include surgery, radiation, hormone treatment, and chemotherapy. In some cases a watchful waiting wait-ing approach may be taken. The American Cancer Society is the nationwide, community-based, voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives and diminishing suffering from cancer, can-cer, through research, education, educa-tion, advocacy, and service. For information, contact the American Cancer Society at 1-800-ACS-2345. VA office toll-free toll-free number to remain the same The department of Veterans Affairs Regional Office (VA) has announced that its toll-free telephone number will not change even though many residents resi-dents of Utah will see a new area code of 435 become effective on September 21, 1997. Veterans and other beneficiaries can still reach the VA Regional Office and have their questions answered by calling 1-800-827-1000 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Hornets and yellowjackets are responsible for most of the "stinging" that takes place in Utah, says Jerry Goodspeed, Utah State University Extension Exten-sion Horticulturist "They are social insects that live in a nest or colony. The colony consists of a queen with lots of workers. The nests are made of a papery substance and can be located almost anywhere--including roof eaves, fences, . trees, or any other nook they can find around your home." He says some yellowjackets also nest in the ground. They can take up residence in small holes, old rodent nests, or under . rocks or other old debris. - "These social hornets and yellowjackets can be highly aggressive ag-gressive and should be treated with care. Many hornets and yellowjackets are scavengers, feeding on dead insects, garbage, gar-bage, and carrion. However, late in the season they get a hankering for something a little more sweet such as soft drinks, watermelon, cantaloupe and cake. This is when they become major pests," says Goodspeed. Controlling these pests who have built colonies next to living areas is easier than swatting them away at a picnic, he explains. ex-plains. First, locate the nest by following the insects as they head away from the water or food sources. Look for en trances in old trees, under eaves, or around other wooden structures. struc-tures. Next, choose your weapon. "Though there are many sprays on the market that kill Steven Gladwell receives naval commission Navy Ensign Steven E.

They usually have a propel-lant propel-lant that sprays up to 20 feet Using this type of pesticide allows al-lows you to remain far enough away from the nest that you can run if necessary," he says. "Be very careful when destroying hornet and yellow-jacket yellow-jacket nests," he cautions. They will attack to defend their colony from danger, and their sting is very painful. Also for your own safety, only use products that are registered for use on yellowjackets and hornets, hor-nets, and be certain to follow all label directions." Spray the nest at dusk, after the sun has set, he says, the insects in the colony are not as active at that time. Soak the nest, then come back later to soak it again. After the colony is dead, destroy the nest Seal the entrance off with soil, mud, or just cave it in on itself to keep the pesticide and pests in the nest If the colony is not a bother now, leave it until winter and destroy it then. The first heavy freeze generally kills the colony. Douglas Whimpey receives commission Navy Ensign Douglas B. Whimpey, son of Army Major Robert J.
