Boy bitten by a rabid Dustin Hinkle, 17, of Jensen got an unusual awakening the other morning a bat was nibbling at his arm! The bat bit the underside of his arm and became hooked in his bed when he got up to turn on the lights. The bat continued to bite Dustins bed. It was suspected the bat had rabies, so the room was closed off until it could be captured by officers from the highway patrol, who transported it to Salt Lake for testing. Tests proved it did, indeed, have rabies. - bat Dustin was worried because he had heard that if you are bitten by a rabid animal you must have shots in the stomach but he was relieved to find that the shots are given in the shoulder. He said hes not feeling sick at all and is sleeping soundly back in his bed. Officers felt the bat had come into the house through the air conditioning unit It is also noted that this is the first time a person has been bitten by a bat in the Uintah Basin, according to the Vernal MARIJUANA.

Ron Nielsen, Administrator Richfield Care Center We have discussed the value to most everyone, and especially our elderly loved ones, of touching and hugging in earlier articles. As you visit the Care Center, you may even be embarrassed at how often you see our employees holding a residents hand or affectionately holding an arm around a shoulder, or giving a good hug. We believe that touching is great therapy. Let me share another excellent article I recently read about the psychological and physical benefits of therapeutic touch. One of the basic human needs throughout a persons life is the need for nurturing and caring touch, a need which may actually increase as a person ages. However, whether due to common social negative attitudes toward aging which make people reluctant to touch, or the unavailability of close family members to perform this service, many non-verb- al Crop & Field report 528-311- 1 touch. Many caregivers have described personal feelings of reward with paafter such inter-actiotients. Therapeutic touch, a modern version of laying on of hands, is a form of expressive touch that purposefully directs compassion and an intention to help toward the individual needing care. Research has demonstrated that therapeutic touch can be an effective pain reliever and can help to reduce anxiety among the elderly. Ginicians have reported successful results in using therapeutic touch to promote sleep in the elderly; enhance feelings of well-bein- g among those elderly who are depressed; decreased blood pressure; and facilitate healing. While therapeutic touch has also been used effectively to relieve swelling in arthritic joints and promote healing of fractured hips, its greatest potential appears to be the immediate calm it produces among its recipients, a fact which can have implications in the long-tercare setting.

Even after the children start school, parents remain the most importance influence in their childrens educational success. All parents want their children to succeed in learning. The ability to read well, write well, and compute math, and get along with others are keys to success throughout life. Test scores dont always tell the sum total of a student because they don't reflect personal qualities such as dependability, sense of humor, or people skills. To get the school year off to a good start. Dr. John H. Wheery of the Parent Institute, makes these suggestions: 1. Get to know your childs teacher. You know your child best Share what you loiow with the teacher. You dont have to wait for parentteacher conferences to exchange information. 2. Attend Back to School Night. This will give you an opportunity to meet your childs teacher, find out about curriculum, and give you an idea about the composition of the class and learn what is expected of your child. 3. Talk with your childs teacher about problems. What goes on at home affects who a child does in school. Separation, family illness, a new baby, or even q move can all affect a childs school work. (In Sevier School District, a full program of special education is offered if your child needs that assistance. Handicapped students are fully integrated. The School Food Service department will cooperate to help children with food allergies meet the requirements of their special diets.) 4. Make sure your child gets enough sleep. Tired children cant do their best work. Set a bedtime, and stick to it. 5. Limit TV watching. Studies show that the kids who do best in school watch the least TV. When you turn off the set, you will need to help your child find other things to do. Activities that enrich their school experience will be most beneficial visit the city library, read a book or magazine, take nature walk, play games that stimulate our childs ability to think, reason, and recall facts. 6. Help your child learn the im portance of daily school attendance. Schools cant do their job if your child isnt there. 7. Expect that your child will do well in every subject. Be interested in your childs lessons. Parents who value education will never ha ve to explain it to their children. School products program can earn schools money A representative of the Utah School Boards Association said the school products program was a way for schools to get royalties on sweatshirts, caps, mugs and other manufactured items bearing offi- cially registered logos of local schools. A governing board at the state level will oversee the program, and four percent of the profit from the sale of these items will be returned to the school. Business-educatio- n partnerships will be a part of the program, providing support for schools from those major corporations interested Buffalo will in making contributions. For example, the First Security Corporation has donated $150,000 a year for the past five years to cover catastrophic health insurance premiums for students involved in activities sponsored by the Utah High School Activities Association. Utah is the first state in the county to involve itself in the school products program, and has been followed now by ten other states.

When hunting for a trophy a shoulder shot is the best It does least damage to the hide and usually gets the heart and possibly both lungs so the animals doesnt have to suffer. A taxidermist can pull together the holes in the body much more easily than a head shot After you shoot the animal get the hide off as soon as possible. -- Ultimate Dutch Oven The Dutch Oven for the 21st Century Take the head and shoulders directly to a tanner or taxidermist To skin the animal to save the hide, start at the bottom of the hind legs, cut the skin from there, up along the belly to the throat and around the head. Peel the skin back removing as much flesh and fat as possible. Salt it down very heavily with several pounds of salt Iodized salt reacts with the chemicals used in tanning and slows down the process. If you cant get the hide to a taxidermist or tanner within 24 hours, freeze it to preserve it When the salt gets about dry fold the hide over a couple of times.

This is unfortunate since expressive touch has been shown to significantly infl uence how the elderly perceive nursing care and therapeutic touch, an advanced form of expressive touch, has many benefits for both the elderly resident and his caregiver.
