However, peach and nectarine trees are dillerent, he says Instead of producing spur, they form fruit on last year's growth. This wood is normally a slightly orange to purple color, and is found on the ends of the branches. Knowing where the fruit is borne, can prevent removal of all the wood that produces it. The second step in pruning is to walk around the tree and clean it up, Cioodspeed says. Remove all the wood thai is broken, dead, diseased dis-eased or that hits you in the head. This is also the lime to remove branches that rub or cross and any suckers and water sprouts. "Suckers are those nasty twigs that grow straight up around the base of the tree," he. adds. "Water sprouts often arise from pruning cuts made the previous year, and can be very numerous in apple and pear trees " After cleaning the tree, prune il to allow sunlight to penetrate the canopy, he lays l ight should be able to reach tlie inner trunk of most fruit trees If the tree is loo crowded, simply remove some branches so the light can filter thiough the tree into live center Spurs on fruit tree branches thai receive little if any light soon begin to die. After a while only inferior cjuality fruit develops on the outer branches of such crowded trees. There ae a few other things to keep in mind when pruning. Goodspeed says first, never remove more than a third of the tree in any given year Removing more causes fruit trees to go into shock. If an older tree has not been pruned for a while and requires a lot of wood removal, consider doing it oscr a two or three year period Make pruning cuts clean by using a sharp cutting instrument, he say Never top a tree. Make sure the cuts are back to a lateral or other branch. Pruning cuts do not require any spray, salve or bandage to help them heal Trees mend their own cuts quicker and better if left alone. most vehicles- After the passage of a storm the road is wet and impassable. impass-able. It is recommended that per-sons per-sons inquire at the Headquarters Visitor Center and obtain the current cur-rent road conditions. In the spring, motorists should be prepared for slippery road conditions. The entrance station al the Dinosaur Quarry is now open seven days a week. The entrance fee is S 10 for each vehicle, good for seven days. For those living in the local area who may like to bring out of town guests to the monument, they should consider purchasing the monument's paik pass. The $20 paik pass is good for the entire calendar cal-endar year and can be used as often as needed. Immunization Awareness to give donuts for shots Although immunization rates in the country are high and the occurrence occur-rence of disease is low, many children chil-dren are still under-immunized, according to TriCounty Health Department Approximately one in four, newborn new-born to 2-year-old children in the U.S. are not properly immunized against infectious and potentially deadly diseases, such as measles, whooping cough, and diphtheria. To encourage childhood immunization immu-nization TriCounty Health Department in partnership with Davis Jubilee is promoting "Immunization Awareness Week," April 15-19. This year's theme is "Donut forget to Immunize." Every child that receives a shot dur ing the week will be eligible to have their name placed in a drawing draw-ing to win a coupon for one dozen donuts. Certificates for a donut from Davis Jubilee will also be given out to all children who receive immunizations immu-nizations during the week. The State Department of Health now requires that children entering kindergarten in the fall of 2002 be immunized for Hepatitis A and Varicella (Chicken Pox). The Hepatitis A vaccination is a two part series given six months apart. So as children are prepared for kindergarten, parents need to remember this series needs to be started now. Get debt off your chest by online confessions With more than half of Americans struggling with debt, the stress and emotional problems that go along with it can be overwhelming. My vesta, the financial health center, has created an online confessional where people can confess their problems and find release from pent up stress. "The therapeutic benefits of releasing your true feelings can be huge," said Steve Rhode, president of Myvesta. "Keeping your emotions emo-tions bottled up causes inaction and makes problems much worse. By expressing your innermost thoughts you can let go and move on with your life. We are providing a place where people can do just that." The My vesta online confessional is non-denominational and completely com-pletely anony mous. It is Vtcaled on a secure area of the Myvesta Web site and no personal identification is recorded. "Complete privacy is absolutely necessary for people to be as comfortable com-fortable as possible," Rhode said. "Only when you can be at ease with yourself and honest about your situation, situ-ation, can you take action to find a solution." While the online confessional greatly helps people feel better about their situation and find clarity, clari-ty, Rhode say s it's just the first step in taking charge of your financial problems. Coming clean about your past mistakes opens up doors, by doing so you're admitting to your money issues. After that you can promise yourself not to make the same mistakes mis-takes again. Then commit yourself to solving your problems and find someone you trust to help you through it," Rhode said. The online confessional is available avail-able at Myvesta.org. Hungry? Visit.
