However, How-ever, many potential volunteers may not yet know the best way to serve. A variety of programs connect individuals to service opportunities where they can most effectively utilize their skills and talents. Three different Senior Corps programs offer retired men and women the opportunity to share their experiences, talents and abilities with others within Utah County. Individuals involved with the Foster Grandparent, Senior Companion Com-panion and Retired Senior Volunteer Volun-teer Programs (RSVP) make an impact on the lives of at-risk children and youth, enhance the lives of homebound senior citizens citi-zens and build our community in a variety of ways. Currently, more than half a million national Senior Corps members help nonprofitpublic agencies and faith-based organizations organi-zations strengthen individuals in communities across the country. Individuals can join that force in our local community. The Foster Grandparent Program Pro-gram provides individuals, ages 60 and older, with the unique opportunity to be an inter-generational mentor for children and youth. Foster Grandparents uplift children who have been abused or neglected, guide at-risk teens and young mothers and care for Ask a Specialist Do you have tips for members mem-bers of the "sandwich generation?" genera-tion?" Answer by Tom Lee, Utah State University Extension Family and Human Development Specialist The percentage of people with elderly parents has increased due to the longer life expectancy of Americans. In 1940, only 37 percent of 50-year-old women had living mothers, compared to more than 65 percent today. The percentage of parents in their forties with children at home and living parents is even higher. The. demands of parenting adolescent children, being at the peak of involvement in career and civic responsibilities and caring for dependent elderly parents create a time of life often referred to as the sandwich generation. gen-eration. Members of the sandwich generation often experience role overload created by too many or conflicting responsibilities. In addition, those who regularly tend to the needs of others can begin to feel resentment and guilt over not being able to meet those needs, and then guilt for feeling resentful. They may begin to feel unable to take care of anyone's needs, including their own. Consider these tips for reducing reduc-ing role overload: Reduce the number of responsibilities respon-sibilities you have. Examine your life and get rid of unnecessary outside commitments that may include getting off advisory boards, reducing travel at work or resigning from PTA. Clarify or change the expectations expecta-tions you or others have about your responsibilities. For example, exam-ple, you may feel your parent needs more care than you are able to give, but arranging for someone else to care for them causes you to feel guilty or uncaring. un-caring. Clarify your own expectations expecta-tions by talking with your parent about what be or she expects of you. Have the same talk with other family members to divide responsibilities. Prepare yourself for new situations. Make tentative plans about "what if" situations and how you would handle them. This can help you feel more in control. Have a plan for living or financial arrangements if dependency depen-dency needs of your parent go beyond what you can handle. . Take time for yourself. When you experience role overload, the tendency is to meet everyone else's agenda by giving up time for yourself. By doing so, you send yourself a subtle but powerful power-ful message that everyone else comes first, and that their needs are more important than yours. Confidence begins to waiver, and soon jobs that were once manageable manage-able seem overwhelming. In order to be worth something some-thing to anyone else, you must first be worm something to yourself. your-self. Strike a balance between the time you take for yourself and the time you give to others. The time you take for personal renewal renew-al will better enable you to meet the needs of all those who depend on you. premature infants or children with physical disabilities.

Fiscal year 2002 statistics for the federally funded Utah Home Energy Assistance Team (HEAT) program show that 32,031 low-income low-income households in the state qualified for and were given financial assistance by the program pro-gram to pay their bills for electricity, elec-tricity, natural gas and other fuels to keep warm last fall and winter. That is an increase of 740 homes from the previous year. The number of applications for assistance assis-tance was also up during the HEAT program's 2001-2002 season, which ran from Nov. 1, 2001 through Apr. 19, 2002. In two years, the number of homes served by the HEAT program has increased by 6,333 or nearly 20 percent. "The primary reason for the increase can be attributed to the unexpected rise in utility costs experienced last year and us getting the word out about the HEAT program," said Sherm Roquiero, manager of Utah's HEAT program. HEAT is a program of the Utah Division of Community and Economic Development. It provides pro-vides home winter utility payment and weatherization assistance to low-income households, especially especial-ly those with disabled and elderly residents and families with preschool-age children. Other HEAT statistics for fiscal year 2002: Utah's HEAT program was funded by $12.2 million from the federal Low-Income Home Energy Ener-gy Assistance Program, down from $16.5 million the previous year. The average household received $270 in utility payment assistance, down from $390 in fiscal year 2001. Sixty percent of aid recipients recipi-ents are on fixed incomes, 39 percent are disabled, 38 percent are considered the working poor, 24 percent are elderly and 22 percent are families with preschool-age children. Sixty-five percent of the HEAT-aided households are at no more than 75 percent of the federal poverty level andor have incomes of $8,000 or less. HEAT will begin accepting applications for assistance for the upcoming fall and winter on Nov. 1 It takes nearly 2,000 coffee cherries to provide enough beans for a pound of roasted coffee.
