Show 6 TheSunNews. Wednesdav.October 6. 1993 Shaking your baby in anger or in play is very dangerous Who could willfully injure their child by shaking himher so hard the blood vessel in the eyes rupture? It doesnt have to be a bad parent, but just the normal, frustrated individual reacting to stress. Statistics show that seven babies in the State of Utah have died since January 1993, from Shaken Baby Syndrome. At a recent seminar attended by several Mountain View Hospital Nurses, the startling statistics were divulged. In 1990, 12 deaths of infants were due to child abuse, six of those directly resulting from shaking. A common reason triggering parents or guardians to shake babies is inconsolable crying, noted Marilyn Sandburg, Director of the Child Abuse Prevention Council. When a baby cries continually, often due tocolic, the constant crying frustrates and angers parents until they lose control, she added. The programs goal is to teach everyone about the physical risks of shaking babies and to decrease the practice of shaking and tossing babies - even in play. A simple six step guide has been produced by the child Abuse Prevention Council of Ogden that is helpful with dealing with a crying baby. It suggests: 1. Check basic needs. Is the child hungry or does he need to be burped, wet or soiled, in pain, is clothing too tight, is the baby crying to release tension or wants to be held. 2. Check for signs of illness such as fever, swollen or red gums, warm , red, or drainage present from the ears. 3 Check for gas or colic. 4. Ask help from a neighbor, friend or relative. 5. Make sure the caregiver's needs are met so as to promote emotional stableness and less stress. Physical damage resulting from shaking an infant or toddler might include brain damage. The brain keeps vibrating within the skull cavity after shaking occurs. The brain may swell, creating pressure and leading to retinal bleeding which can cause blindness. Veins feeding the brain may be tom leading to brain damagebrain abnormality. These calamities can lead to learning, physical, visual, and speech disabilities as well as sei zures. Blood may pool within the skull which can create more pressure. Children two years or younger have neck muscles that are not fully developed. The head is unsupported thus shaking an infant can cause more injury than shaking a healthy adult.

Autumn is playing in a canyon near you Store apples properly; they'll last all winter Apple season is here again, and there are ways to store the apples so you can enjoy them throughout the fall and winter seasons ahead. Pick the apples for storage when they taste good. Most apples, with exception of Red Delicious, won't get any better in storage than the day you pick them. Red Delicious should remain on the tree until after a light frost. Apples and pears keep best at about freezing temperature. It may be a little tricky, but try to keep them as close to that temperature as possible, but dont let the temperature get below 29 degrees - the fruit will be damaged. An old refrigerator can provide cold, humid conditions for apple storage. Buried on its back with the door at ground level, the soil provides some extra insulation to keep the temperature about 40 degrees. Provide a way to ventilate the cabinet for proper storage and safety. You can keep apples layered with sand in a garbage can outdoors near the house until the weather gets really cold. Keep the apples within four inches of the outside of the can and dont let them touch each other. Stored fruit needs just the right humidity. If its too low, the fruit will shrivel, if its too high, it will spoil faster. Perforated plastic bags are good because they allow air circulation which helps retard spoilage. For years, gardeners have kept apples and pears stored by wrapping them individually in newspaper: Check fruit regularly for spoilage. The storage length dependson ground frost during the final days of August However, for the most part, first frosts this year were re- ognized the summer-lik- e period after the first frosts as a time to make final winter preparations. Others believe the blue haze, common during the period, was a result of Indian set fires on western prairies. .

According to the Utah Agricultural Statistics Service, there were 6.5 days rated suitable for field work for the week ending Septem-ber2- 6, 1993.

Most homeowners dont have separate cellars, but wrapping apples and pears separately helps to reduce this. Hardware Donald T. Jensen Utah Climate Center The period of calm , hazy, unseasonably warm weather following the first frost of autumn is called Indian Summer, and usually occurs in October or November. A high pressure weatherpattem dominates, and air layers become stratified and stable. Calm, mild, and hazy days and cool nights occur. The haze is a result of the inability of the stable atmosphere to carry smoke and dust away. Indian Summer arrives as summer merges into winter and can assume the characteristics of either period. The origin of the term Indian Summer is unclear. Most people believe that American Indians rec- f Phone News Items 529-783- 9 OCTOBER 1993 INDOOR OUTDOORISAVINGS!
