Ask a specialist DO YOU HAVE TIPS ON RECYCLING MY GARDEN WASTE? Answer by: Jerry Goodspeed, Utah State University Extension Horticulturist. Using garden waste can reduce re-duce the flow of green material sent to the landfill, improve the soil and increase the health of most plants. Try these ideas before sending yard waste to the dump. - Grasscycle. The easiest way to reduce yard waste is to leave the grass clippings on the grass and not bag them. It is a great way to return nutrients and organic or-ganic materials to the soil. It reduces the water requirements of the lawn and cuts mowing time significantly. Grasscycling does not increase the thatch layer and can be very beneficial to the soil. - Use grass clippings as a mulch. Save grass clippings for your vegetable or flower garden. Later the clippings can be worked into the soil, which improves tilth and workability. However, they should be dried before being used as mulch. Do not pile wet, fresh clippings more than an inch deep at a time or they will turn into a stinky, sticky mess. - Shred leaves. Shredded leaves in the fall can be used as a mulch around trees, shrubs and perennials. By spring, the leaves decompose and add precious organic matter to the soil. Leaves can be shredded by running over them with a lawn mower. This is usually easier than raking them up, even though it makes a lousy leaf pile for jumping. - Work leaves into growing areas. If the leaves are shredded first they are easier to rototil, but shreddingis not required Adding nitrogen to the area will speed decomposition. - Use evergreen needles for mulch or a soil amendment. They will acidify . Utah's alkali soils while increasing the organic content. Conifer needles break down slowly, but still improve the soil over the long run. - Shred dead annuals. After they are shredded, they can be worked into the garden or flower beds. The lawn mower works well for this, too. Be careful of annuals that reseed, though. They can become weeds in a garden. These include marigolds, snapdragons, snap-dragons, cosmos, calendula and alyssum. - Compost. The most productive produc-tive method is to build a compost pile and compost all garden, yard and non-meat kitchen waste. Compositing is a lot easier than most people believe and, if done correctly, has no unpleasant odor. Compost is the best soil amendment, improving the tilth, workability, drainage and nutrient holding capacity.

Is your mailbox acceptable? Did you know that Springville has standards for the placement of mailboxes? On some streets, it is getting hard to tell. The boxes . are all shapes, sizes and placements place-ments and can detract from the public safety, welfare and even aesthetics of neighborhoods. Some of the most problematic boxes are those that are not fastened to the sidewalk but are in buckets, barrels or cans filled with dirt, rocks or cement. Even though some residents have gone to great lengths to paint these bases and even to plant flowers, the dimensions and locations remain problematic. Permitted mailbox mounts where the sidewalk is flush with the curb are: Freestanding: The support may be up to four-inches wide and no more than 54-inches high. The box should be no more than 20-inches deep. Enclosed: The structure may be up to 16-inches wide along the base of the curb and no more than 54-inches high. Location: The base of the support should be fastened to the sidewalk at a minimum of one-half one-half inch from the front edge of the curb. The rear side of the mailbox needs to leave at least 44 inches of unobstructed sidewalk behind it. No part of the mailbox is allowed to extend more than seven inches into the street from the front edge of the curb. Where the sidewalk is separate sepa-rate from the curb, permitted mounts are: Freestanding: The support may be up to five-inches wide and no more than 54-inches high.

This funding for Utah schools is the result of education , reforms enacted under the Bush administration. In addition, Utah school districts will also receive unprecedented new local control and flexibility. "This funding is crucial for the education needs of Utah's school children," Cannon said. "However, what is more important impor-tant is the control that each individual indi-vidual school district will have over the money. Parents know what their children need to ensure en-sure they receive the best possible possi-ble education. That is what the "No Child Left Behind Act' does. It allows local communities to decide how the money will be spent on our children's education." educa-tion." Along with a new emphasis on results, local control and parental involvement, the "No Child Left Behind Act" will mean significant resources for the Nebo School District this year.

Mailboxes are lonely by nature na-ture and fare better when they are co-located with a neighbor's mailbox near the property line. This assists in speedier delivery of the mail and leaves longer stretches of open space along the sidewalk. If you need help, call or stop by the Community Development Department at 50 S. Main. They can be reached at 489-2704. Nebo School District will receive $1.6 million in Title I funding this year for economically disadvantaged disad-vantaged studentsan increase of $272,000 from FY 2001. Each school district in Utah will have new flexibility and decision-making authority over non-Title I federal aid. The Nebo School District will receive $72-9,741 $72-9,741 in this type of funding. Effective right now, the Nebo School District can make spending spend-ing decisions with up to 50 percent per-cent of those funds-equaling $369,871. Nebo does not need approval from the U.S. Department Depart-ment of Education to make those decisions. Approximately $498,146 of non-Title I funding will be teacher teach-er quality grants; about $46,939 will be for technology aid. The rest comes from the Innovative Programs and Safe and Drug Free Schools. Nebo officials can shift funds between any of those programs to best meet the needs of their students. "By increasing funding and flexibility, we will begin to see better results for Utah's school children," Cannon said.
