Times-New- s 631-060- Trauntvein Correspondent s Preliminary plat approval was awarded Wes Lynn for property he owns. Named Deer Acre Estates, Plat A. allows for the development of a subdivision east of the freeway and north of 700 North. It is a single one-lo- t parcel inside the city limits, said Greg Rowley, city council member who sits as a nonvoting member on the city planning commission. Lynn recently completed the home and obtained an occupancy permit allowing him to move into the new house. The city can recognize his property as Plat A, or a single lot subdivision, which will prevent him from having to put curb and gutter on the entire piece of property, said Rowley. This way, Lynn can make improvements on his property and not have to do the entire property, which is quite large. If later on, someone in the Lynn family wants to build a home nearby, they could enter as Plat B or even, later, as C. Those building after Wes Lynn would need to meet the requirements of a subdivision before building. Memories of motherhood Whats the most memorable moment of a womans pregnancy? It might not be what youd expect. A recent survey found that giving birth ranked lowest among first-timmothers, when they were asked for their most memorable experience while pregnant. The number-onanswer? Feeling the baby kick or move for the first time (37 percent). Twenty-one percent said it was experiencing the sonogram or ultrasound and five percent said it was learning the babys sex. The results were similar for experienced moms (those with more than one child) as well. The survey findings include: moms said Dad was or will be in the delivery room. New fathers also help care for older siblings and about of working women said the babys father will provide child care making dads the third most popular child care option after mothersmoth-ers-in-laand day care facilities. However, Dad does have some room for improvement. Almost 1 00 percent of expectant moms believed Dad would help out on diaper duty and only 88 percent of new moms report Dad actually does. Also, 86 percent of expectant moms said Dad will bathe baby, while only 62 percent of new moms said he does. Baby School Its A...

Okay, I know this isnt the happy song being sung in my household by my children (namely Austin), but Ive been singing it secretly since stampede ended. I guess Im feeling the letdown of summer that always comes after the carnival has left town. Theres no more holidays until September. My kids are getting restless, the nights are getting cooler, and all the fun and games of summer have come to an end, with the exception of the county fair in August. Clothing stores are clearing out their summer selection and the winter clothes are on display. School supplies are everywhere. I can smell football season in the air. Can you? Ive enjoyed my lazy days of summer, but Im ready to get back into the swing of things: soccer, ballet, school, homework, and all the other fun stuff. Keep in mind that school starts in three and a half weeks, so either get out and have one last getaway or do some early school shopping. Schools just around the bend you know. Kids will be kids Ryan had a funny thing happen to him at dinner the other night. We were eating at Lisas Country Kitchen and he started complaining that his nose hurt. We knew he hadnt bonked it on the table or anything like that, so we told him. to blow his nose thinking he had a booger stuck in it. Heath held the napkin and he blew. What do you think he had stuck up his nose? A pea! How it got there well never now, but I wouldnt have put it past him to stuff one up there. Just goes to show you what kids will do when youre not looking.

By Myrna Thursday change to allow to small lota to be used. It will really crunch the lota if we move further south, said Ludlow. In addition, said Ludlow, if a decision was not made quickly, Ludlow and White would lose the sale of the property. Ludlow said he and White had been working with the city for six months and needed a decision. They needed that decision by Friday said Ludlow. B. Malquist said the decision was being made by the property owners along 300 East on short notice. They did not know they were being expected to donate property to the subdivisions road until stakes were placed in their front yards two weeks ago. July 28, 2004 Lifeguards: Rescuers or Babysitters? Due to a disturbing incident that happened recently in Utah County, the Nephi Pool Employees are writing to the public to remind them that the younger children the pool need adult supervision. who come to Its too often we have observed parents of the children doing something at the side of the pool besides watching their children. Parents read, run errands, or sun bathe while their children are playing in the pool. Also some parents just drop their children off at the pool with no supervision. Why is this a problem? A Lifeguards duty is to provide emergency lifesaving measures. If parents are not watching their children then the lifeguards duty becomes correcting the bad behavior of the children playing. THIS IS NOT THEIR JOB. A parents responsibility at the pool is to go over the pool rules with their children before they enter the pool. The guards can not be distracted to go over pool rules with children who do not know them already. Children dont always make the right decisions. Thats why parents are there to guide and protect them. One popular activity that kids enjoy doing in the water is a contest to see who can hold their breath the longest. This game can be fun, but what the kids and parents dont realize is that it could swiftly turn into a tragedy. If someone else was goofing around and bumped into them while under the water it could cause them to inhale water into their lungs. It happens fast and without warning. With lifeguard and parent supervision such activities could be safely monitored and controlled. There was a horrible in- cident that happened recently in Utah County. A child was pulled from the pool. The lifeguards started CPR and rescue breathing. The EMS people then arrived and shortly after the child was flown to a hospital. Later on it was reported that the child had died. Accidents do happen. No one is to blame for this accident. A parent who was observing the pool that day wrote a letter in the paper stating how many parents that day were sun bathing or being distracted. Even though the same incident may have oc- curred no matter what the situation, attentive parents might have made the difference. According to the Univer- sity of Utah Health Ser- vices Center, there are 2,600 near drownings each year and 927 drownings. Most of the drownings are children younger than 4 years of age. One of the Nephi City Pools rules is children 5 and younger must be accompanied by an adult (over 16). We ask that parents please go over the pool rules with their children and teach them how to be safe while swimming. We, the pool staff, love to have your children come and enjoy the pool. The purpose for writing this letter is mainly to ask for your help at maintaining a safe environment for all people to enjoy; by parents setting a good example things could run a lot smoother. Lifeguards are at the pool for emergencies, not to correct bad behavior. We are doing our part to keep the community safe while at the pool. We hope this article will have opened some eyes and will make everyone else just a little more cautious and aware of their childrens safety. The pool wishes everyone a safe and fun summer!
