Scout-A-Ram- If a you use a cordless phone Your phone conversation may not be so private You're at home and your scanner is on. You hear a couple of people talking to each other - theyre using their cordless phones. You find it interesting and keep listening. Later on you repeat their conversation to a friend. Have you broken any law? Neighboring Sanpete County has just come through just such a situation. A resident who had been injured in an accident several years ago, was required to have a lot of bed rest. He turned on his scanner just to have a little connection with the outside world. One day he heard something he thought was funny. He told his wife. She didnt believe it. So he said if it happened again hed record it - then shed have to believe it. It happened. He did. And this was the first of many tapes the man recorded over the past several years. Somehow word got out that conversations people had thought were private - werent. Some of those conversations were on tape at the mans house. Complaints were made to the local and county police. Officers entered the house, took all of his equipment, the antennae on the roof, all his tapes, including those by the family's favorite stars purchased along the way. After checking the laws, County Attorney Ross Blackham said that no charges would be filed and that tjc equipment would be returned, except for the tapes. They still belong to the man, but the county will hold the tapes in custody. The man explains that if you look closely, you will find a message on your cordless phone or its base, telling you that your privacy is not guaranteed when using such phone. He advises people to either not use their cordless phone, or be sure not to say anything they will regret at a later date. The moral of this story is; If you use a cordless phone, remember that anyone with a scanner can pick up your conversation, and you can have an unwanted third party - or more - listening in. And, evidently, theres nothing illegal about it. City ol Aurora bus received a Community Development Block Grant to be used to make an addition to the Comm unity Center at the City Park - the ScoutCabin. The addition will include ki'cben lacilities, restrooms, a storage room aad handicapped iaciliues. The grant is lor 54U.000 and the city will participate with $6,000. Construction should begin this fall or early in the spring of 1993. A new heating system has already been installed by way of a smaller grant of $3,800 which was also provided by the CDBG program. Ranchers may see a change in grazing fee five sheep, eat in one month. The new report says that inflation has not been considered, and that if the amount was adjusted for inflation, it would now be $2.95 in todays economy. Don Waite, an economist with the Blms Washington DC office says that if the $2.95 base had been used in calculating the 1992 fee, ranchers would be paying $3.24 per AUM. The new fee would recognize contributions ranchers make to good rangeland management, such as range improvements, water and streamside improvements, wildlife and recreation improvements, road maintenance, improved public access, maintaining good range conditions, and protecting cultural sites. Ranchers may be seeing changes in the grazing fees charged to put their livestock on the public range, according to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). A task force is now looking into the possibility of developing a new grazing fee plan, according to Michelle Ravniker, BLM spokeswoman in Washington, DC. The program, called an Incentive-based grazing fee, has been released to Congress. The report on the program was written by the BLM, the U.S. Forest Service, Economic Research Service and National Agricultural Statistics Service. The present formula is adjusted annually. Ranchers pay SI. 92 per animal unit month - which is the amount of forage a cow and calf, or North Sevier Gun Club gets top honors at state remodel the scout cabin 1 he focus the light. Wearing prescription glasses weakens the eyes. Eyes are neither strengthened nor weakened by glasses. The one exception is in children with crossed eyes or lazy eye, where glasses may straighten the eyes and preserve vision. Strain to the eyes causes permanent deterioration of vision. Using your eyes will not damage them, whether or not you arc wearing your eyes. If your vision blurs or your eyes tire easily, you should see an ophthalmologist or optometrist. Pinhole glasses are useful for sunglasses. Pinhole glasses reduce the amount of light entering the eye, but to not selectively block ultraviolet rays, which can permanently scar the retina. The dimming effect of the glasses can cause the iris to dilate, letting in more potentially harmful ultraviolet rays. People with nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism may temporarily see more clearly while wearing the multiple pinhole glasses. However, if vision docs not improve while looking through the pinholes, eye disease may be present, indicating the need to see an ophthalmologist. The American Academy of Ophthalmology has contacted the firms advertising the glasses, and some have agreed to withdraw or modify some of these advertising claims. Advertisements which claim that wearing opaque eyeglasses with multiple pinholes will reduce or eliminate the need for corrective lenses are appearing on television and print throughout the country. The American Academy of Ophthalmology, the worlds largest organization of eye physicians and surgeons, believes these claims are misleading to the public. We are aware of no scientific evidence that single or repealed use of these glasses - widi or without exercises - permanently improves vision, said Ronald L. Snow, MD, Director of the Dixie Eye Center. Pinhole occluders, such as those advertised have been sued by ophthalmologists and optometrists for years in the diagnosis of eye disease. Contrary to the advertisements, pinhole glasses are not practical for daily use; they dim vision and restrict the field of view. The glasses have no known long term therapeu-ti- c effect. Other misleading claims found in these advertisements include: The eyeball is a muscle. The eyeball is a collagen sphere containing vitreous fluid. The muscles attached to the outside of the eyeball are not involved in focusing. The iris muscle controls the amount of light on the retina, but does not Some 4 1 5 of the states best met at the Bonneville Trap and Skeet Club last week to crown a championship team.

Jensen The Way It Postscript A few weeks ago I told you of the little Catahoula Leopard dog that had joined our family. Being fairly responsible dog owners, we took her to the Vet for her shots the day after we brought her home - Parvo included, for we had learned that several dogs in the area she came from had died of the dread canine disease. Sadie Blu continued to earn our affection and admiration until one day last week when she seemed not quite herself. We went to the Vet - he wasn t sure it was, but gave her several different types of medication. He said he didnt think it was Parvo, but if it was, she should be better able to survive it due to having had the immunization shot. By noon the next day she was gone. Even through her last moments she tried to wag her tail, and her eyes followed us as far as she could see without turning her head. We held her a lot & she closed her eyes and snuggled close. I guess well never know just what claimed Sadie Blu. Im pretty certain that k wasn t Parvo as she didnt have some of the major symptoms that are always present in that disease. Since then we've heard that there have been several dog poisonings in Aurora. However, in the last few days Ive talked with several people throughout the North Sevier area who have lost dogs to Parvo. Its a much more terrible disease than even distemper - especially susceptible arc young pups and older dogs. If you own a dog and care even a little about its health, take him to your Vet and start his Parvo shots. There will be two - a few weeks apart. And while youre at it, talk to the Vet about Heartworm. Its becoming more prevalent throughout Utah too, and dont forget distemper. I miss the little Catahoula and her pleasant, loving personality, She brightened our lives in many ways. Weve all heard it said that a dog is mans best friend. It sounds logical to me that wherever it is that Man is going after his passage through those Gates of Pearl, that his best friend might be there too. There just might be lots of 'best pals' waiting there somewhere. If I know Sadie Blu, she'll be sitting patiently just inside the gate, watching intently for a glimpse of her loved ones. Her tail will wag furiously, and her blue eyes will sparkle, and shell probably even 'sing' a little as she welcomes us home. Till then, her memory will be filed along with all those of people - and 'best pals' - who have earned a place in my heart.
