Take advantage of the GI Bill when attending school or buying a home ' Thinking about attending college or a trade school? Contemplating buying a home? Are you serving or have you served in the U.S. Armed Forces? Then, consider tapping into the benefits of the GI Bill. June is the 61st anniversary of the GI Bill of Rights, legislation legisla-tion that made college education educa-tion and home ownership available avail-able to millions of Americans. The GI Bill changed society, and today this act of Congress enables the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to leave a footprint in almost every community com-munity across the country. The bill created six decades of opportunity for the men and wximen who served in uniform, and continues to do so today. More than 21 million veterans, veter-ans, service members and family fam-ily members have received more than $72 billion in GI Bill benefits for education and training since it was established estab-lished in 1944. Since the dependents depen-dents program was enacted in 1956, VA has also assisted in the education of more than 710,000 dependents of veterans veter-ans whose deaths or total disabilities dis-abilities were service-connect-ed. i Nearly 18 million veterans have used the GI Bill's home lcjan guaranty program for loans totaling approximately $850 billion. Last year, 91 percent per-cent of participants took advantage advan-tage of the program's unique no-down payment feature.

After waiting for swimsuit manufacturers and designers design-ers to produce a suit that provided pro-vided adequate coverage and a less revealing cut and finding find-ing virtually nothing modest for water activities, Rawlins decided to venture out on her own and established eOhana Swimwear. "There are so many women in today's society who feel that their bodies violate vi-olate some water compliance code, so they banish all swim wear from their wardrobes," Rawlins said. "I knew there had to be an alternative, and hopefully, for most, eOhana is just that." When it comes to swim suits, it appears that designers design-ers are of the impression that every women's goal is to put her body on display no matter mat-ter what size she is. Women want to feel comfortable in what they are wearing and not having to be constantly readjusting their suits. Swimming and other water sport recreation, for the most part, is a family activity. activi-ty. "I refuse to miss out on the frolicking years with my children because I feel self-conscious in my swimsuit," swim-suit," Jessica Johnson, Ohana customer, said. "America is undergoing a body-conscious revival, and I want my children to be comfortable with who they are and what they look like. If I didn't get into the water, wa-ter, how would my daughter daugh-ter be affected?" Rawlins' objective is to design de-sign suits that provide women options other than bikinis or skirted suits. Her goal is to make the wearer feel comfortable enough to do whatis important: get out and have fun in the water. "I want women to feel confident con-fident when they wear one of our suits," she said. "And in my opinion, the sexiest thing a woman can wear is confidence." The swimsuit lines feature legs resembling Shorty wet suits, Rawlins said. Constructed Con-structed out of swimsuit material ma-terial with a 20 percent span-dex span-dex and 80 percent nylon blend, the swimsuits provide support and control that women love.

Individuals Indi-viduals who wear an Ohana swimsuit can feel the difference differ-ence in quality from other fabrics and suits, she said. The word ohana means family in Hawaiian. Likewise, Like-wise, each Ohana swimsuit style carries its own authentic authen-tic name and story. "Each suit was created to appeal to women with differ ent tastes and needs," Rawlins Rawl-ins said.

Driving hazards for seniors With Utah's two most deadly holidays coming up in the month of July it might be appropriate to remind motorists mo-torists that pursuit of a good time during a family outing can easily become a tragedy. According to the Utah Crash Summary issued by the state Department of Public Pub-lic Safety, traffic fatalities over Independence Day during dur-ing the ten-year period between be-tween 1994 and 2003 resulted in 54 deaths, an average of 1.5 per day of the holiday period, pe-riod, nearly double the 0.8 rate for all 2003 fatalities. Pioneer Pi-oneer Day was a close second sec-ond with a 1.4 average. As the survey points out, "Holiday fatalities are a concern con-cern due to increased motor vehicle travel combined with other possible risk factors (e.g., alcohol and other drug impaired driving, fatigue, speeding.)" Dennis Wilson, Chief Trainer of AARP's Driver Safety Program, urges drivers dri-vers to be very cautious, especially es-pecially those in their fifties and sixties who may be still be too young to recognize that their bodies are indeed beginning to experience the affects of aging. "We hate to admit that we are experiencing experienc-ing reduced depth perception and our reflexes are not quite as sharp as they once were." Ken Baldridge, State Coordinator Coor-dinator of the defensive driving dri-ving program, states, iWe invite in-vite all drivers over the age of fifty, especially the good ones, to enroll in one of our eight -hour classes which are held throughout the state and which require no examinations examina-tions nor even any driving. dri-ving. Our volunteers are most interested in helping save your life and if you save a few bucks in auto insurance insur-ance in the process, thati's OK, too.i Assistant State Coordinator Coordina-tor for Utah, Summit, and Wasatch Counties Don Gov-er Gov-er reports that Utah County classes are coming up soon in Provo, Orem, Spanish Fork, and Pleasant Grove.
