R: Kathryn Vilips akc Powel- l- They came from Massachusetts, Ohio, Texas, Iowa, Itah and Hawaii, to study Indian and Pioneer medicine taught by Dr. Wes Larson, SUSC, and the archaeology and geology of Lake Powell - Blue WatcrRcd Rock, taught by Dr. Richard Kennedy, and the history of the Lake Powell area by Professor Steve Heath, SUSC. The week-loncourse included field trips to Lees Terry, and to Rainbow' Budge. Beth Bergeson was Coordinator in charge of the Flderhostel group who were lodged and fed at the employees dormitory at Wahweap Lodge. Wahweap means Bitter Water. The same course will be offered again March g 12-1- The weather for the trip by boat to Rainbow Bridge sunny and balmy. W hen the boat docked and the participants were told they could hike for an hour or so Prolessor Heath went far above, Rainbow' Bridge where he found the remains of an old campsite with old camp beds. He wondered whether the camp might have been one used by Teddy Roosevelt when he was lion hunting in that area. An exciting course scheduled for on Ghost Towns of April Southern Utah, will be taught In Dr. W'cs Larson, along wuih s 2-- 8 of the Zion Geology taught by Dr. Area, Kennedy, and Plants and Animals of Zion Park, taught by Russell Bictte. Participants will be housed at the Lodge in Zion National Park. For one of them, Elizabeth Dr. Wes Johnson from Denver, this was the fortieth trip she has taken as a part of the Elderhostcl group around the world. Others were on their fourth or lilth trip on excursions of one to three weeks, to learn the history of the area they are visiting. Cal Folkcrts, Musicial Director from Mason, Iowa was on his third consecutive trip with Elderhostcl. Besides being the Musical Director of the Community Theatre and Children's Theatre in Mason; Mr. Folkerts has a special interest in Indian History, and the Southwest. He had first taken a one week course in Albuquerque, then Tucson, and w as in Wahweap for the Indian and Pioneer medicine program. Ray and Jane Benton, formerly of San Francisco, and now living in Phoenix, were on the Lake trip. Benton, formerly an engineer, speaks with other Ham operators all over the w'orld, from the Galapagos Island, to Georgia, U.S.S.R. He became a Ham operator after retiring and moving to Phoenix. Benton recently spoke with a Ham operator in Yugoslavia that "collects counties" in the U.S. When he asked Benton w'hat county he lived in, Benton said "Maricopa," and after checking his computer the Yugoslavian said, "I have it on my computer. Benton spoke wuh someone in the Forest Service from the inside of the boat wath his mobile phone w'hile taking the Lake Powell trip to Rainbow Bridge. Earl and Lois Butler of Stansbury Larson and Professor Steven Heath discuss members of the SUSC Elderhostcl program during trip to Rainbow Bridge area of Lake archeology with Powell. MM iTll'V Play by Play Live Kanab "Cowboys" in the State Tournament PowcllAVahweap program was the most enjoyable Elderhostcl program they have attended, and they plan to come back again. Several of the participants, who had been on other trips, agreed that this one was the best. Elderhostcl programs arc open to anyone 60 years of age and older, or to anyone 50 years of age, if they are accompanied by a spouse or companion, 60 years or older. To sec the eager participants in the program one finds it difficult to believe everyone but the professors arc 50 or over. Elderhostcl programs include more than 850 colleges, universities and other educational institutions in the U.S., Canada, and more than 30 foreign countries. The programs run between $2 10.00 to $279.00 per w'eek. This includes food, lodging, field trips, and up to it three courses on a w'ide variety of liberal subjects. There are even scholarships-calle- d "hostelships"- - that are available to non-cred- assis- tance in order to attend a program. One man, according to one of the instructors, travels from one program to another, saying that he can live as cheaply in Elderhostel (w'hile visiting exciting places, learning the history, and making new friends) as he can by staving home. For international programs from Australia to Egypt, the costs of the program include airfare, making the overseas trip enjoyable and trouble-freThe overseas programs are three weeks in length and involve campus stays where one can explore the country's culture and history. Whether you would like to visit Pamplona, where Ernest Hemingway immortalized the Fics'ri de San Fermin in The Sun Also Rises, or visit Kayseri and Konya, Anatolian settlements from the early Hittitc period, known during the 1st century B.C. as Caesarea, or whether you would like to simply explore the Indian ruins in the U.S.; there arc exciting programs waiting for the young at heart.

Ask for Martha or Yvonne. There are programs scheduled in Utah through September, 1989. Some of the programs fill up quickly so it is wise to get a schedule and get on the list. You won't know what you are missing until you check the catalog. The hardest decision is trying to decide which program to sign up for. e. Guard Rail To Be Replaced Bids were opened today by the Utah Department of Transportation on a project to replace sections of guardrail along two and one-hamiles of State Route 89 from Kanab north to Kanab Creek in Kane County.

Granddaughter Reflections Winners On Pesticides By William J. Tollman, M.S. P.H., R.S.

In the article, the re- searchers determined that the coveralls worn by farmer- - continue to retain residual amounts ol pesticide even after only one application of pcsticde - and several washings. The Nations Health, February, 1989 slated that lanolin cmolicni used extensively by nursing motheis to lubricate sore, chapped nipples has been found to be contaminated with eight pesticides, six ol which have been banned by the Environmental Protection Agency! Lanolin is the ointment base in almost every cosmetic cream, lotion and paste. Lanolin is refined from wool fat and it is estimated that 90 k of the lanolin in this country is imported from Australia and New Zealand. These pesticides arc organophos-phateLevels of pesticides allowed in milk and in meal are "arbitrary limits set by the government in recognition ol the fact that even though these chemicals are banned for use in this country, they persist in the environment for decades and cannot be completely eliminated," said Diane Baxter, toxicologist, s. National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides. According to the FDA, "even when evaluated under worst case scenarios, (these pesticides) pose no risk to the public." Toxicologist Baxter states, "that assessment obviously does not consider the fact that these chemicals build up in fatty tissues where they remain for years." An alternative program for pest control in rice is now being offered in Southeast Asia. In the past there were 57 pesticides commonly applied to rice fields to control the rice brow n planthopper and other pests.

Additionally, $50 million was saved by phasing out pesticide subsidies. For $5.98 one can purchase three egg cases of praying mantids. They are meat-eatin- g insects that eat only the "bad insects," and at the end of the season lay additonal egg cases to hatch the following spring. There is no need to repurchase egg cases, since the praying mantid reproduces year after year. They do not bother the beneficial lady bugs because the lady bug gives off an odor that repels the pray mg mantid. It is a scientific fact that the effects of exposure to organophos-phate- s may blur the vision, cause excessive salivation and sweating, occur from extensive skin contamination among agricultural workers, or from accidental oral ingestion, especially among small 70, children. In November of 1986, California voters approved Proposition 65, which forbids all business- - t,.at employ ten or more persons, ;r..m exposing any individual to any chemical, knowm to cause canc r oi reproductive toxicity (birth d ' i) without providing those indiv iduals with a "clear and reasonable warning."
