Show A4 SPRINGVILLE HERALD Thursday, July 22, 2004 Dear Dr. Lillian ifwuu'.n!.. .... . . i 4 v 4 f s- ' r . r ' Dear Dr. Lillian: Q: Last time I saw my dad was 30 years ago. I would like to go back to my country and look for him, but I do not even know if he is alive because there was a bad war. I do not have a question. I am writing because I am afraid of what I might find and not find. A: The search for your father is one for your own heart and identity. If you are clear on this as the intent of your quest, all will . be well. This is such a powerful oppor tunity for self-discovery and proper self-love: By their nature, parents wish their young the very best life and fulfillment. Every day, you have the opportunity to fully experience experi-ence your father's gift and to make your life count. Whether your father is alive or not, that is what he would wish for you. As you trace your father's life, you can, in return, give him the gift of respecting and cherishing cherish-ing his free will in every one of his choices made. You can give him the gift of honoring his life and yours. This will help you to grieve for the years lost and to receive his love for you. Dear Dr. Lillian: Q: My boyfriend is going on vacation to a place where there are a lot of really good-looking girls. I am worried sick he'll find somebody prettier than me and cheat on me. He tells me he will not, but you know guys. Besides, I can't check on him to know if he is telling me the truth. A: Trust means that you can rely on the integrity of another person without fail. Your questions ques-tions show, that you do not trust this young man, indeed, that you trust no man. You have two questions ques-tions you need to ask yourself: Can you trust yourself to liave the self-respect to choose a partner whom you can trust? If not, build that trust in yourself first and then choose a partner whom you can trust. Can you trust your partner to have enough respect for himself him-self and for you to have chosen you for love rather than for pastime? pas-time? If not, let him go. You would not want to place yourself in a relationship where you need to watch your back and worry about not hearing the truth. That is no way to live. If in your relationship with yourself you cannot trust yourself your-self to make solid choices, then you are left empty, without a self as a f oundation. If in your relationship with your partner you cannot trust him to make solid choices, then you are left without love as a foundatioa It is now time for you to create cre-ate a solid path in life and to move forward. Dear Dr. Lillian: Q: I am 55 years old and, up until recently, thought I had lived my life well and to my satisfaction. satisfac-tion. I have contributed with my work, found comfort in my faith, and enjoyed God's manifold creation cre-ation on weekend hiking out in the mountains. I never felt the need to marry or have children. Two months ago, my young neighbor came to me in a panic, saying something had happened to her family back east. She left her three children with me, saying she could not afford plane tickets and did not want the children to experience the turmoil. She said she had no one to turn to, except me. The first few days, I felt annoyed an-noyed by the noise and the mess and the runny noses in my house. By the time the three weeks were over, I did not want to give the children back. I had come to love them. If the mother had never returned re-turned that would have been just fine by me. But she did. For the first time in my life I now find that I know the bitter taste of regret A: You have all the time in the world to create adventurous hikes for children so they can joyfully joy-fully share in Creator's manifold creation with you. You have all the time in the world to become a big brother or sister to a child or teenager in need. You have all the time in the world to become a mother by adoption or even by birth; such feats of advanced medicine are available in our times. Regret, by its very nature, means to look back upon an opportunity op-portunity missed with a feeling or grief, loss, and distress. You are wishing you had made a.dif-f a.dif-f erent choice long ago. But you didn't. Now you can. Don't wait too long to take this leap of love and faith Dear Reader of any age: You are welcome to e-mail ques-tionsdear-dr-lillian.org Ma Specialist Tips for managing grasshopp 4fS Answer by: Diane Alston, Utah State University Extension Entomologist During the current drought cycle, grasshoppers have become a common occurrence oc-currence in the home yard There are hundreds hun-dreds of species of grasshoppers in North America, but only a few of them cause economic damage to plants. The short-horned or Acridid grasshoppers grasshop-pers are the primary culprits. The slant-faced slant-faced grasshoppers (angled faces, long, thin bodies) feed primarily on grasses; spur-throated grasshoppers (projection under their throat) feed primarily on herbaceous plants; and banded-winged grasshoppers (brightly colored hind wings that rattle when they fly) feed on both grasses and herbaceous plants. Most problems occur in home yards when large populations of grasshoppers migrate from surrounding open fields, range and other less disturbed grasshopper grasshop-per egg-laying sites. Eggs are laid in undisturbed undis-turbed ground in the summer and fall, then over-winter. Eggs hatch the following follow-ing spring, and emerging young (nymphs) feed on green vegetation. When field vegetation begins to dry, large flushes of grasshoppers migrate and overrun nearby succulent landscapes and gardens. The best way to combat grasshoppers in these circumstances is to work with neighbors to coordinate treatment. treat-ment. Consider these tips. A number of insecticide choices are available to kill grasshoppers. They include in-clude acephate (Orthene), azadirachtin (Neem), bifenthrin (Talstar), carbaryl (Sevin), cyfluthrin (Tempo), diazinon, malathion, permethrin (Astro) and pyrethrin. Most of these are not labeled i for food crops, so be sure to read and follow fol-low label directions carefully. Two biological insecticides are effective effec-tive on grasshoppers. Beauveria bassiana is an insect-attacking fungus. Nosema lo-custae lo-custae is a protozoan that, upon ingestion and sporulation in the gut, infects fat tissues tis-sues of the grasshopper. Nosema is slower acting than conventional insecticides and can take 4-6 weeks to kill grasshoppers. Insecticide baits offer a longer-lasting option for grasshopper control. Baits formulated for-mulated with grain to attract feeding grasshoppers include Nosema locustae (Nolo Bait, Semaspore) and carbaryl. Grasshoppers are easier to kill in their early nymphal stages. Older nymphs and adults are the most voracious feeders and cause the main injury to plants. If grasshoppers move to your property from surrounding land, place a 6-8 foot band of bait around the property border and into the adjacent field. Do this in late spring to early summer when populations of small nymphs begin to increase. To maintain active insecticide, re-treat every two to three weeks while grasshopper populations are increasing (during egg hatch), and especially following heavy irrigation irri-gation or rain. Other management strategies include spot or target spraying nymphs when they are seen feeding in the yard, or treating adjacent vacant lots or fields that have nymph infestations. . Remember that not all grasshoppers will cause harm and low numbers can be tolerated. toler-ated. Most insecticides are not selective (Nosema locustae is an exception), and beneficial insects and spiders will be killed as well as pests. For effective grasshopper suppression, it is important to start early when grasshoppers are small and to maintain main-tain control until eggs have hatched and new waves of nymphs are no longer detected. de-tected. Once flying adults are on the scene, it is too late for effective control that year.

Studio 9 - Impressionism at the Springville Museum of Art Cool off on a hot summer afternoon af-ternoon and visit the beautiful Springville Museum of Art where Ogden "Studio 9" exhibits ex-hibits some of their impressionistic impres-sionistic landscapes and snatches of rural life, nicely complimenting the 30th Annual Annu-al Quilt Show exhibition. The Studio 9 exhibition opens July 18 and runs through September 5 at the museum. For local Springville residents it is a great opportunity to view some prestigious art from further north, and non-Io-cal residents can enjoy a trip to the beautiful Spanish Colonial style building with its impressive impres-sive collection of Utah, Russian and American art. Impressionistic in style, the Studio 9 painters represent a variety in watercolor, pastel and oil, of serene perspectives on landscape and farm life. True to Impressionism, they seek to capture the magic of light and atmosphere in their work. Jerry Hancock, one of the artists said, "We paint what we know. Because I live on a farm I paint the animals." He also related that the artists work together in their Ogden studio offering critiques; cri-tiques; both serious and fun. The artists in the show include; Robert Call, Homer Clark, Travis Crowther, Mike Gardner, Gard-ner, Jerry Hancock and Steve Songer. The Studio 9 dream began in 1993. Since downtown Ogden was in decline several artists saw the potential to help the blighted city and create studio space for themselves. After looking at several buildings to buy, their dream centered on a late nineteenth century building build-ing and rebuilt it inside and out. Not only was this done to help revitalize Ogden in some small way but it provided spacious spa-cious studio areas above the retail businesses located beneath. be-neath. The artists have individual individ-ual studios, a large commons area, photography room, lots of storage and a furnished workshop. Songer, another artist in the group, spoke of the importance impor-tance of quality. "It is nice to be encouraged by other artists.

Attorney General Mark Shurtl-eff Shurtl-eff announced that nearly 44,000 additional compact discs are now available at libraries across the state. The libraries are benefiting from an antitrust lawsuit against the music industry. indus-try. Some of the largest music distributors dis-tributors and retailers paid $143 million in cash and CDs to settle allegations of conspiring to inflate in-flate prices by setting minimum prices for advertised discs. The Springville Public Library received re-ceived 417 new CDs valued at $5,934. "This settlement rocks," says Shurtleff. "It fills our libraries with music and it makes sure consumers don't pay artificially hiked CD prices." Utah libraries received 43,838 CDs worth $594,276 from the What's for dinner?

Also, last February, 28754 Utahns who filed claims received $13.86 checks, totaling $395,689. The Attorney General's Gener-al's Office distributed the music discs to 75 Utah libraries according accord-ing to the size of the population they serve. For instance, the Salt Lake City Library gets 3,700 CDs, the Orem Public Library Li-brary picks up 1,718 discs and the Minersville Public Library gains 29 recordings! "All Utah public libraries are looking forward to making these CDs available," says Donna Don-na Jones Morris, State Library Director and State Librarian. "Utah citizens should take advantage ad-vantage of this opportunity and stop at their local library, check out a CD and see how libraries are changing to meet the needs of the twenty -first century." The music is divided into eight genres: 45 rock, 15 classical, 12 jazz, 11 roots, 8 country, coun-try, 6 Latin, 2 movie soundtracks sound-tracks and 1 blues. The percentages per-centages were determined by Billboard chart listings when the lawsuit was settled in 2003. The record companies agreed to not send CDs with parental warnings warn-ings or explicit lyrics. "We had to be creative in finding ways to help those who were harmed. Some consumers were able to get cash and every Utahn will be able to check out a CD at their local library," says Wayne Klein, the assistant attorney at-torney general who represented Utah in the settlement. The CDs are going to libraries, li-braries, colleges and schools in the 42 states that participated in the legal challenge.

Get children ready for school success NAPS- The school year is a great time to help children learn new skills and habits that will last for life and go beyond be-yond the classroom. Crest Healthy Smiles 2010, a national outreach program designed to combat oral disease in undeserved children through education, tools and access to dental professionals, offer the following tips to keep children smiling all year long. Mom and Dad, My Best Friends: Communication is essential essen-tial to family harmony. Create good communication with your children by taking interest in their schoolwork and helping them on class projects. Talk to them about acceptable behavior in and out of the school yard and cover topics such as peer pressure, drugs and alcohoL Also, talk to their teachers to find out about your children's chil-dren's progress or any issues they might be confronted with in the classroom. Look Mom, No Cavities: Good oral health habits not only impact your children's teeth but also their overall health. Help your children earn an A in oral health by following the 222 rule-brush twice a day for two minutes and visit the dentist twice a year. Create excitement about brushing by letting children choose their favorite toothpaste flavor or toothbrush in a color or character they like. You can also encourage brushing brush-ing by rewarding them with stickers. We Love To Read: Reading builds bridges in family communication com-munication and increases your children's learning abilities. By reading books, they learn new words, utilize their mind and walk away with lessons on life. Make it a family activity by setting aside 30 minutes a day for reading with your children. Select a children's classic, such as "The Cat in the Hat" by Dr. Seuss or "Charlotte's Web" by E. B. White. At the end of each reading section, select conversation points to that your children can express their perspective. Encourage children to read alone by taking your children on trips to the library and letting them select their own books.

NewTtah Preservation" magazine The Utah Division of State History has announced the publication pub-lication of the 2004 edition of Utah Preservation magazine. "In a culture of disposability, Utah Preservation shows the value of permanence," said Barbara Bar-bara Murphy, coordinator for the State Historic Preservation Office. "It shows vividly the value of caring for and restoring restor-ing the buildings that have become be-come so integral to communities and lives." This value is not only aesthetic, aesthet-ic, Murphy said, but also economic, eco-nomic, social, environmental, and even spiritual. For instance, the restoration of Salt Lake's First Presbyterian Church has been deeply meaningful for the congregation that worships there.
