Eagle Court of Honor held for Taylor Scott Anderson Taylor Anderson, son of Leena Ovard Anderson (of Henefer)and Scott Anderson, has been working diligently on merit badges since he was old enough to be in the Scouting program. His ambitions and goals were high, and he spent hundreds of hours on projects and service earning 82+ badges at the age of only 15. Taylor was honored on Sunday, April 17th, at the West Bountiful 6th Ward, with over 50 family members, friends and fellow Scouts present. Taylor had the opportunity to attend the National Scout Jamboree last summer, July 26-Aug. 4, 2010, with the 50,000 Scouts and leaders in the Jamboree City (known as the fastest growing city of Virginia). He also attended several campouts, learning skills and enjoying the time with his friends and Scout Masters, including his Father, Scott. His merit badges were adding up as he accomplished the requirements for each and the time to work on his goal towards earning his Eagle was fast approaching. Taylor still had not decided on the project for his Eagle, as he wanted to make it something special to remember in his life. Taylor had grown up hearing the story about his mother - how she was a cancer survivor, but was advised by her first doctor that in order to receive treatment for the Hodgkin's Lymphoma recently discovered that she would have to abort her unborn child of about 16 weeks. This was a difficult thing for a young expectant mother to do with her first child on the way - and Leena and her husband, along with support from her family, friends, and another physician, which she found that could offer her treatment for the cancer following the birth of the child. With the cancer taking hold in her system, she made it to delivering a healthy baby boy at near full term. She then had to start her fight with the cancer following the 'Fall Classes starting in Clogging b 'ballroom lit `Francis & (Henefer "beginning in September `beginning-,ViVance(! b Competition .revels Ages 3 through `No partner neee, for ballroom.

That child was named Taylor Scott, and he grew and learned about how his mother - following a long fight with treatments following his birth to bring the cancer to a "remission" stage made it to ten years dealing with the Lymphoma. Together because Taylor, although young, listened to the stories, the trials of his mother who is still fighting other forms of cancer from treatments showed up as a result of the treatment of the first cancer- decided that he wanted to do his Eagle project to help others fight their cancer. He told his parents and the summer was devoted to his project. Taylor did the research himself, called and set up a booth in the nearby vicinity of Centerville at one of the annual celebrations, had a fund-raiser booth and also talked to many friends and neighbors and community friends who donated to this cause. He was able to raise and donate to the Huntsman Cancer Institute - (Huntsman Cancer Institute is a National Cancer Institute-Designated Cancer Center, which means it meets the highest national standards for cancer care and research and receives support for its scientific endeavors) - $800 dollars. Some donations he received were anonymous, and one special donation was from a person who had recently lost her mother to cancer and was excited to see his Eagle project was geared to help others fight cancer. Taylor worked hard on this project, and his parents were proud of the choice he made for achieving his Eagle. Throughout the years of Scouting, Taylor was complimented on how he had been an example to his friends, and has become more mature and sensitive to people - setting his goals high for a mission and college degree. Congratulations, Taylor, on an outstanding job working towards and reaching the goal of becoming an Eagle Scout!

While applications are accepted on a continuous basis, the cutoff date for this application period is May 20, 2011. "Organic growers continue to express interest in program support to implement conservation practices that help us to win the future," White said. "This additional opportunity will allow more producers to get assistance in protecting the natural resources on their land and creating conditions that help foster organic production." Fiscal year 2011 marks the third year of USDA's Organic Initiative. Up to $50 million is available this year to help producers plan and implement conservation practices that address natural resource concerns in ways that are con- sistent with organic production. For example, conservation practices include planting cover crops, establishing integrated pest management plans, constructing seasonal high tunnels, or implementing nutrient management systems consistent with organic certification standards. Eligible producers include those certified through USDA's National Organic Program, those transitioning to certified organic production, and those who meet organic standards but are exempt from certification because their gross annual organic sales are less than $5,000. Organic Initiative funding is provided through NRCS' Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), a voluntary conservation program that promotes agricultural production and environmental quality as compatible national goals. The 2008 Farm Bill provided assistance specifically for organic farm operations and those convert- ing to organic production. Under EQIP Organic Initiative contracts, NRCS provides financial payments and technical assistance to help producers implement conservation measures in keeping with organic production. Beginning, limited resource, and socially disadvantaged producers may obtain additional assistance. The 2008 Farm Bill limits EQIP payments for organic operations to $20,000 per year per person or legal entity, with a maximum total of $80,000 over six years. Producers interested in applying for EQIP Organic Initiative funding must submit applications through their local NRCS Service Center, which can be located through the Web site at http: / / offices.sc.egov.usda.gov Rocator /app?agency=nrcs. For more information you may contact our Ogden Field Office at (801) 629-0575 or the Coalville Field Office at (435) 336-5853. NRCS is an equal opportunity provider and employer. Summit County Health Dept. Five important reasons to vaccinate your child The Summit County Health Department knows that you want to do what is best for your children. You know about the importance of car seats, baby gates and other ways to keep them safe. But, do you know that one of the best ways to protect your children is to make sure they have all of their vaccinations? Immunizations can save your child's life. Because of advances in medical science, your child can be protected against more diseases than ever before. Some diseases that once injured or killed thousands of children, have been eliminated completely and others are close to extinction— primarily due to safe and effective vaccines. One example of the great impact that vaccines can have is the elimination of polio in the United States. Polio was once America's most-feared disease, causing death and paralysis across the country, but today, thanks to vaccination, there are no reports of polio in the United States. Vaccination is very safe and effective. Vaccines are only given to children after a long and careful review by scientists, doctors, and healthcare professionals. Vaccines will involve some discomfort and may cause pain, redness, or tenderness at the site of injection but this is minimal compared to the pain, discomfort, and trauma of the diseases these vaccines prevent. Serious side effects following vaccination, such as severe allergic reaction, are very rare. The disease-prevention benefits of getting vaccines are much greater than the possible side effects for almost all children. Immunization protects others you care about. Children in the U.S. still get vaccine-preventable diseases. In fact, we have seen resur- gences of measles and whooping cough (pertussis) over the past few years. In 2010 the U.S. had over 21,000 cases of whooping cough reported and 26 deaths, most in children younger than 6 months. Unfortunately, some babies are too young to be completely vaccinated and some people may not be able to receive certain vaccinations due to severe allergies, weakened immune systems from conditions like leukemia, or other reasons. To help keep them safe, it is important that you and your children who are able to get vaccinated are fully immunized. This not only protects your family, but also helps prevent the spread of these diseases to your friends and loved ones. Immunizations can save your family time and money. A child with a vaccine-preventable disease can be denied attendance at schools or daycare facilities. Some vaccine-preventable diseases can result in prolonged disabilities and can take a financial toll because of lost time at work, medical bills or longterm disability care. In contrast, getting vaccinated against these diseases is a good investment and usually covered by insurance. The Vaccines for Children program is a federally funded program that provides vac- cines at no cost to children from low-income families. To find out more about the VFC program, visit HYPERLINK "http: / /www.cdc.gov / vaccines / programs / vfc /"http: / / www.cdc.gov / vaccines / pro grams / vfc / or ask your child's health care professional. Immunization protects future generations. Vaccines have reduced and, in some cases, eliminated many diseases that killed or severely disabled people just a few generations ago. For example, smallpox vaccination eradicated that disease worldwide. Your children don't have to get smallpox shots any more because the disease no longer exists. By vaccinating children against rubella (German measles), the risk that pregnant women will pass this virus on to their fetus or newborn has been dramatically decreased, and birth defects associated with that virus no longer are seen in the United States. If we continue vaccinating now, and vaccinating completely, parents in the future may be able to trust that some diseases of today will no longer be around to harm their children in the future.
