Uintah Basin Garden society to hold meeting July 26 When Clare Beelman and Cassie Hays met each other in the Master Gardener Class program at the Utah State Extension in Vernal, they decided to start a Garden Society for those interested in learning more about garden-related garden-related topics. "There were a lot of Master Gardeners in our class and we thought it would be nice to continue meeting to discuss garden topics. There used to be a garden group in the area, but there hasn't been for a while, so we decided to start one up," said Hays. The group holds meetings on the last Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m. at the Golden Age Center and covers a variety vari-ety of topics including: perennials, peren-nials, xeriscaping, lawns, annuals, annu-als, insects and pests, weed control, con-trol, plant disease, structure and garden design, and water gardens. Last Saturday, club members mem-bers went to six local houses as part of a "garden tour." During the tour, participants admired the gardens and traded garden ing knowledge. "I think a lot of people are struggling with their yard and gardens, but they don't have to be. Yard and gardens don't have to be high maintenance to look nice," said Hays. "Minor changes can make a huge difference and people just might not know about it." The Garden Society is open to anyone who is interested in gardening or who wants to know more about it.

Emergency preparedness expo to be next weekend People often put off preparing pre-paring for disasters simply because they do not know where to begin. They are so overwhelmed at the thought of putting everything every-thing together that they never try. For Basin residents, disasters disas-ters seem highly impossible; but flooding, as in 1982, or fires like there were in Dutch John three years ago could cause people to evacuate from their homes. Careful preparation will make surviving through disasters more comfortable. The Basin has an additional problem because any aid that would need to be brought to Vernal would likely come froift Salt Lake City. If roads or mountain passes were closed, it would take longer for aid to arrive. A preparedness expo that will be held at Western Park next weekend aims to help Basin residents learn more about preparing for disaster. The preparedness expo is organized orga-nized by a group out of Idaho and travels to different locations. loca-tions. Lorinda Luck, of Vernal, went to an expo in Orem and was impressed. "500 or 600 people attended," she said. "I always ask, 'What would happen if...? What would I do if...?' I've always looked at life like that. I feel that if I am prepared, life won't be that big of a concern or . at least ' what happens wffl'beihoredip an adventure than a disaster. What I heard in Orem was really real-ly valuable and I learned a lot of new things." Speakers will come to the conference from around the west including Montana, Idaho, Utah, and California, and will present workshops on a variety vari-ety of topics including food storage, using herbs to make tinctures, nuclear fallout preparation, prep-aration, 72-hour kits, extreme weather clothing, and question and answer sessions. Ruth Martinez, who has been helping to advertise the expo said, "If there were a natural nat-ural disaster or emergency of some time, we would need to be prepared. These people have a lot of information about a variety vari-ety of topics." rour bundles of joy, all delivered at one great hospital. Jennifer Hunterson and Melissa Walker his past September 7 and 8 was a busy time for the OB department at Ashley Valley Medical Center. In a 24-hour period, Jennifer Hunterson (middle left) and Melissa Walker (middle right) each gave birth to twins. Melissa's boy twins, Ethan and Donovan, were born on September 7th. "My two older children were born at two other hospitals," says Melissa. My time at Ashley Valley was by far my best delivery experience. Branch Pederson (right) and the other OB nurses were great. They would check on me all the time." Jennifer's girl twins, Sky and Alana, were born on September 8th. "Everybody went out of their way to help me," says Jennifer. "When I was ready to leave the hospital, my three other children were sick at home. Holly Hacking (left), an OB RN, volunteered to watch my kids so I could get settled at home. She even picked up my daughter from school and brought dinner over one night." All four babies were delivered by Dr. Kirk Woodward at the recently renovated OB department at Ashley Valley Medical Center, which features three birthing suites and five private rooms for post-partum care. "It's a great place to have a baby, or four," say Melissa and Jennifer. AW i Ashteyl Voltey Medical Center j get settled at home, . il' M'frr: W.i . |
