With previous experiences expe-riences with ' polymers (from the medical industry), indus-try), Davis with intrigued by the potential for that technology as a means of conserving water while maintaining his lawn. He investigated several highly high-ly publicized products that boasted a greener lawn through the technology and quickly found that their claims were unfounded. HE found that generally these solutions work well in preplanti-ngpre-sod applications but are not practical on already established vegetation. vege-tation. But the underlying science was sound. Armed with this knowledge he developed and began marketing mar-keting Hydropods as a unique pre-planting additive addi-tive that dramatically reduces the amount of water required to maintain main-tain healthy plants.

The product is mixed with soil prior to planting. IT provides much more efficient use of water and nutrients by plants through the osmosis osmo-sis distribution capabilities capabili-ties of the Hydropods. Studies on a wide variety of plants showed water requirements reduced by 75 percent. Simply mix Hydropods with your soil prior to planting and you're ready to go. Hydropods leverage the unique properties of the pods to "time-release" water and nutrients into soil. When a Hydropods-enhanced Hydropods-enhanced plant is watered, the water is absorbed into the Hydropods and gradually released- along with vital nutrients end result is a significant reduction in the water required to maintain healthy plants ( as much as 75 percent less). The plants do not require less water, rather the water the plants receive is much more efficiently effi-ciently held and distributed- eliminating waste. Studies have shown that yields on gardens using Hydropods increase by as much as 30 percent. Hydropods are nontoxic, non-toxic, safe for all types of plants, and will not harm children or pets. Hydropods breakdown SuperNutra naturally over time releasing nothing more than water, nutrients, and other naturally occurring substances. In fact the only . real danger of Hydropods is the potential for falls if they are spilled-the spilled-the stuff is really slippery. Apply Hydropods at the rate of 16 ounces per five gallon of topsoil. Mix thoroughly, thor-oughly, backfill, and water. Hydropods provide ideal water-saving planting for any type of application including: Trees and shrubs- Use Hydropods as a backfill amendment to reduce watering maintenance, reduce transplant shock and boost survival.

Hydropods are currently current-ly available at select WalMart stores from Logan to Payson. A 32-ounce bottle of Hydropods Ready-To-Use SuperNutra sells at WalMart stores' for $3.97. The 32-ounce bottle will serve a 10 gallon plant.

This annual award, the organization's highest recognition for management manage-ment excellence, is named in honor of Theron Godfrey, an IHC vice president who died in 1989. It is given each year to an IHC manager, man-ager, director, or administrator adminis-trator who demonstrates outstanding leadership and commitment to IHC's values. val-ues. Moore is the newly appointed administrator of Clients' Thirst of Challenges "People with disabilities want challenges; they want to do their best, to be respected and involved like anyone else," said Ron Mortensen, Mosaic's new executive director in Orem, Utah. "Their enthusiasm and desire keeps me involved in helping them to meet new challenges and improve their lives," Mortensen said. Mortensen was in high school when he knew for sure he wanted to work with people who have disabilities. dis-abilities. "I had a really good friend whose sister had severe disabilities," he said. "She couldn't get out of bed and had very little care or attention. She had a little American Red Effective July 1, due to changes in the National structure, struc-ture, the Mountain Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross has taken on the custodial custo-dial role of 12 additional counties coun-ties in the state of Utah. This will make it one of the largest area chapters in the nation with more than 47,000 square miles, the area equivalent of Conn., Md., N.H., N.J., Vt. and Mass. combined. These changes will tax an already depressed budget. And proposed services may wind up under-funded if anticipated antic-ipated support and revenue is not obtained said Garr Judd, executive director of the Mountain Valley Chapter. "Coverage area is only one problem. An emergency is an emergency," he said. "We do the best we can to prepare a budget for the unexpected, but we are in the red more often than we like to be." "Perhaps the community does not understand how to help," said Nancy Housekeeper, the chapter's office manager. "Funding and other financial donations are accepted in all forms." "Most people don't know that they can call our office with a credit card number or mail a check directly," she said. "We even have a faithful individual indi-vidual who marches his check in each month on foot."

She joined IHC in 1998 and has served in a variety of administrative positions with the organization. organi-zation. She holds a master's mas-ter's degree from Arizona State University and a bachelor's degree from the University of Arizona. Clark is the chief operating operat-ing officer for IHC in the Utah County area. He came to IHC in 2001 from a six-hospital, six-hospital, nonprofit health system in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Mortensen thought there had to be a better way, a way to get his friend's sister out of that room. He's made a career out of seeing that there is a better way. He left the Utah department depart-ment of Human Services to join Mosaic because the company provides him with an opportunity to affect more lives. As supervisor of adult residential and children's chil-dren's programs in Nephi, Orem and Provo, Mortensen leads 53 staff members in supporting 52 people. Mortensen earned his masters of arts degree in therapeutic recreation from Brigham Young University Cross takes and 2006 that has Red Cross employees and community members concerned. "After viewing the approved and proposed budget, it seems incredible that the Red Cross can operate on such limited funds," Jim Reams, Orem City manager, said. "One substantial substan-tial disaster or even several minor emergencies could really real-ly set the chapter in the red." "Fund raising is most important," Judd said. "Utah county residents donate more of their annual income to charity char-ity than most counties in the United States. However, the majority of the residents give mainly to one charily: their church." Expenses are. constantly increasing, yet support from local agencies like the United Way is dimuiishing, Judd said. Costs are going up for vital supplies such as blankets, emergency medical equipment, equip-ment, emergency food and water, gas, insurance, national assessments, training and other items. The Red Cross is not a government agency and receives no regular funding from the government. On average, a single Red Cross response costs nearly $4,000. Last year, the chapter responded to 21 house fires, each averaging $1,500 in assistance. In August of 2003, the local chapter provided support sup-port for eight wild land fires, each averaging $2,000 in meals alone. wjfm wrnf?i f"" IHC is charitable, community-owned, nonprofit health care organization based in Salt Lake City that serves the needs, of Utah and Idaho residents.

Previous fire seasons have created cre-ated numerous mud slide and other related victims, many of whom received support solely from the local Red Cross. Provo Fire and Rescue has always felt that it forms a quality partnership with the Red Cross whenever the unexpected unex-pected strikes, Chief Coy Porter, Provo Fire and Rescue, said. "During major emergency events, the Mountain Valley Chapter has provided support by preparing and serving meals, water and hydrating fluids, shelter, housing and other services both to those who may have been displaced by the emergency or directly to the crews working to resolve those incidents," he said. Local Red Cross efforts are not entirely isolated to emergency emer-gency response, but also in the efforts of raising and securing funds to provide for the distribution distri-bution of such needed services to the surrounding communities, communi-ties, Porter said. "People need to realize that without sufficient funds to support Red Cross efforts, services and residents in need may struggle to deal adequately ade-quately with unforeseen events."
