Show 5 ..The SunNews. Tuesday December 24. 1991 , Dr. Pioneer Flashbacks Energy Sense Utah State University Extension The average home will spend from $50 to $150 for lighting over a year. In December, with its Christmas lights and extra household company, electricity used is often more than many other months combined. While it is true that energy used for lighting only accounts for 3 to 5 of your energy usage around the home, you could cut that usage easily by $50 percent and save maybe $10 a month. First, the easy part. When you leave a room, turn out the lights. Santa doesnt need a thousand points of light left on to mark his way. I recommend an inexpensive timer, k No sense keeping the lights on after about 10:30 p.m. Remember that part of being good all year is conserving energy. Second, there are a few things There are potential holiday hazards awaiting young children according to Primary Childrens Emergency Department. Every year at this time we see young children with injuries and illness from decorations, plants and other materials commonly found around the house during the holiday season, noted Tony Woodward, MD emergency department physician at Primary Childrens Med Center. Live mistletoe has one of the highest danger quotients. Deaths in young children after eating as few as two mistletoe berries. Even if the mistletoe is hung in a high place, the berries can fall to the floor and be found by tiny tots. We suggest you substitute plastic replicas of mistletoe if you have children around, Dr. Woodward said. Holly berries can result in severe stomach distress and even can be done with a little work. high wattage lamps or bulbs only for reading or working. When you replace the bulbs with lower energy bulbs, the life expectancy of the bulbs goes up. If you have a choice between incandescent lights and fluorescent lights, choose fluorescent. These lights use about 14 the energy to produce light as an incandescent light. You may spend more for this type of bulb, but you will save money in the long run, for it should last at least 10 times longer. Finally, as you repaint your walls, select lighter colors that will give maximum illumination with fewer light Fixtures. Dont forget to open your drapes during the day and let nature give your electric meter a rest. Decorative lights can be dangerous as well. We see toddlers each year who try to eat the miniature lights from the trees, notes Dr. Woodward. A more serious lighting hazard is the bubble light. The bulbs contain methylene chloride which can cause central nervous system problems if swallowed and large amounts can cause liver or kidney damage. The batteries inside Christmas toys may leak caustic contents if The tiny they are swallowed. button batteries are particularly easy for small children to swallow, says Dr. Woodward, and they are still dangerous even after the battery is dead. Parents should be sure that alcoholic beverages are not left out after parties where they can be reached by small children. A glassful of some types of alcohol can produce seizures, coma and even death in small children.

Accurate production records are a must to help ranchers make management decisions that will pay off in their operation. Efficiency in an operation can be achieved by effective Integrated Resource Management. This approach to management involves input from all segments of the cattle production chain. The National Beef IRM coordinating committee has developed a small pocket book to help cattle ranchers keep the kind of records they and people working with them - such as lenders, veterinarians, Extension, etc.- - need to give them the right kind of assistance. Spaces are provided to record complete calving data, inventory, death loss, weaning and market information, veterinary treatments and many other practices important to a cattle operation. These pocket books are being distributed by the Cooperative Extension Service. They are free to ranchers who are interested in keeping accurate production records. They can be picked up at County Extension offices. In Utah the printing costs are paid by MSD AGnet, Utah Cattlemens Association, Utah Bankers Association, Utah Veterinary Medical Association, Utah State University, and Utah Beef Improvement Once is not enough.

Is Topping the popularity list is the watch John Taylor was wearing in the Carthage jail in Illinois. The death masks of Joseph and Hyrum Smith are a close second with William Claytons odometer placing third and the Enoch Train ship model, fourth. John Taylors watch was in his vest pocket when mobbers stormed the Carthage jail. When he rushed to the window to escape, a ball fired by an outside mobber smashed the watch, throwing him back into the room. The watch stopped, and although the hour, minute and second hands are now gone, fellow prisoner Willard Richard recorded the time as 5:16:26. The palls point of impact on the watch is clearly visible. 0. Office. There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it. Qeorge Bernard Shaw ) Death masks of the Smith brothers were made by George Q. Cannon soon after their murders. The originals were purchased by the late Wilford C Wood and displayed in his private museum until 1989 when the family donated them to the LDS Church. The Clayton odometer, designed ny Orson Pratt and built by Apple-to- n Harmon, measured the miles of the first pioneer trek. Although the original was lost many years ago, a replica made by Stephen Pratt, American Fork, is now on display in the museum. The Enoch Train was a Mormon emigrant ship which crossed the ocean in 1856. The museums model of this ship captures the imagination of visitors as they visualize the confined living of passengers during the long voyage.
