Show Signpost -Tuesday, July 26, 1988 3 RDAs -- safe way to go Lectures -- Soviet visit There are over 30 Soviet inspectors in Utah as a result of the INF treaty. They will be here for 13 years and will be allowed to build their own compound. What does this mean to Utah? More specifically, what does this mean to you? To provide the answers to these and other questions National Center for Constitutional Studies (NCCS) will hold a Soviet Symposium July 26, 27 and 28. Featured speakers will be W. Cleon Skousen, Chairman of NCCS, John L. Harmer, President of NCCS and Dr. Joseph Ioffe, a former professor at Moscow University. The July 26 conference will be held at Weber State University in the Wildcat Theater located in the Union Building. The July 27 conference will be held at NCCS headquarters located at 3740 W. 1987 S., Salt Lake City. The July 28 conference will be held at the Excelsior Hotel located at 101 W. 100 N., Provo. All three conferences will be from 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. The admission is $5 and seating is limited. Call 973-1776 to reserve your seat. Name change for Ma Bell The next telephone bill most people in Utah receive will be from US WEST Communications Mountain Bell's new name. The new bill will look different, and will probably be the first real reminder for most telephone customers that Mountain Bell has a new name. As of July 1, US WEST Communications was formed by combining the resources of Mountain Bell, Northwestern Bell and Pacific Northwest Bell. W. Mack Lawrence, Utah vice president and chief executive officer of US WEST Communications, said, "Our name has changed, but our commitment to service and value is still our highest priority. Your telephone communications will still be provided by the same caring and responsive people you've dealt with historically." Telephone bills issued by US WEST Communications will look similar in all 14 states served by the company, including Utah. The same detailed information included on previous bills will still be there, but the design will feature the US WEST Communications logo and colors. To help avoid confusion, the first bills telephone customers receive from US WEST Communications will also carry the phrase "Formerly Mountain Bell." In addition, there will be an indicator on the envelope to let customers know a telephone bill is inside. Telephone payments can be mailed in as they have been in the past. Star shows above Snowbird Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort and Mr. John Barainca will present "star gazers" at Snowbird on August 12, 19, 26 and September 2 and 9. Barainca, an astronomer and high school science teacher, will begin each session at 8 p.m. with a lecture in the Cottonwood Room on level two of the Snowbird Center. Lectures will focus on stars, galaxies, nebula and constellations in the sky above Snowbird. Following the lecture, participants will ascend in the Snowbird aerial tram to 11,000-foot Hidden Peak to view the stars and planets through an astronomical telescope. The distance form city lights and the thinner atmosphere at this altitude allow a unique visibility not usually found at lower elevations. The cost is $6 for adults and $3.50 for children (6-16) and seniors (62 and older). People attending the star party are encouraged to bring binoculars and dress warmly for the cool evening air. Film to simplify tax returns It's not too late for taxpayers to consider changing their federal income tax withholding to avoid a big tax bill April 15, or a large refund, the Internal Revenue Service said. To make it easier for taxpayers to figure the correct withholding for the 1988 tax year, the IRS has produced a 23 minute instructional videotape: "Is My Withholding Correct?" This tape shows taxpayers how to correctly fill out Form W-4, line by line, so their federal income tax withholding will be as accurate as possible. Employers can get a copy of the tape by calling the local IRS office, and are encouraged There are no copyright to make a reference copy restrictions.

Ten pounds of fertilizer will make your lawn green. Fifteen pounds will make it a little greener. Thirty pounds will turn it brown. The law of diminishing returns applies to almost everything in life. For instance, one donut tastes great. The second or third may still taste great but by the time you get to the eighth or ninth the thrill is gone. The law of diminishing returns, which could also be called the law of moderation, often conflicts with our notion of "more is better." When it comes to nutrition, this may be counterproductive or even dangerous. The body works on an interaction of nutrients and too much of one may inhibit the use of another. For example, the current emphasis on calcium supplementation for women has led some to take large doses, thinking that more calcium will build bones stronger and faster. According to Dr. Art Mahoney, nutritionist at Utah State University's College of Family Life, consuming more than 2,000 milligrams of calcium a day may lead to zinc and iron deficiencies. "More is definitely not better. Trying to take too much calcium to prevent osteoporosis, may lead to a whole new set of problems," Mahoney said. He said iron deficiencies can lead to anemia. Zinc deficiencies can lead to fatigue, skin scaliness and fertility problems. To be on the safe side you shouldn't exceed 2,000 milligrams a day. If your diet contains calcium, you shouldn't consume more than about 1,000 milligrams of calcium supplements per day, Mahoney said. Have a dietitian analyze your diet you may not need supplements. If you're thinking, "Well, if calcium is preventing me from absorbing enough zinc and iron, I'll just take more iron and zinc supplements," Mahoney said this shouldn't be tried either. Too much iron and zinc have their own side effects too much iron can be toxic and too much zinc can cause problems with absorption of copper and iron, he says. It may sound boring, but there is no way to get around the concepts of moderation and variety in the diet. The RDAs (recommended dietary allowances) are designed to give your body the correct balance and ratio of nutrients.
