On average, teenage drivers represent eight percent of licensed drivers in Utah, yet they are involved in more of all motor than vehicle crashes. The number of teen crashes has always been a big issue. Im sure Its not a shock to anyone that teens are involved in more crashes than adults because they are new, inexperienced drivers, said Robert Hull, UDOTs director of traffic and safety. What is great is that so many state arid local agencies have independently chosen to focus on this underserved group this one-quart- er year. There has always been an effort to better educate teens on the importance of safe driving, said Kristy Rigby, Office Safety Highway However, Manager. Program it was typically a localized effort involving infrequent presentations and smaller school-base- d programs. This year, we all realized that we could make more of a lasting impact on teens if we coordinated our efforts and developed a statewide pro ecDDflltniiDSI Each year the Scouts depend on the community for support during the annual Scouting for Food event This year the Scouts of West View District are depending on you once again. On Sat., March 24, the Scouts will be collecting the donated food that all of us have the opportunity to give. On Tues. and Wed. of this week, the Scouts delivered bags to doorsteps in the area. These bags are a reminder to place them, filled with food. gram. Never before has there been so many agencies focusing on one single message aimed solely at teen drivers. Dont Drive Stupid. While the Dont Drive Stupid catchphrase may not sit well with adults, its a message that UDOT hopes will register with teens. This year, teens will see posters in their schools, programs in their curricula, and various ads reminding them to Dont Drive Stupid when they get behind the wheel. Utahs teens exhibit all of the top five behaviors that are killing people on Utahs roads: drowsy driving, distracted driving, aggressive driving, impaired driving, and not buckling up, said Hull. However, there are differences between the two groups. For example, teens use their phones to text while driving, while adults use phones for talking. Both behaviors are distracted driving. Subsequently, the messages and methods used to educate teens have to be different from how we educate adults. This is why we expect that by combining our efforts, we will be able to reach teens more effectively than our previous, individual efforts.

The Scout Council asks that the food be prepackaged, canned goods that can be easily stored until they are distributed. This annual event is held in the spring of the year. Food pantries receive donated food during the fall and holiday time. However, in the spring, the pantry runs short and the need is still great Help the Scouts help the community by donating.

Sponsored by Rep. Joe ar Murray, (R. Ogden) the legislation was prompted by 35 applications that asked the Commission to determine whether drug enforcement officers are entitled to workers compensation benefits from exposure to The applications were from drug enforcement officers and their families who claimed illness or deaths were a result of exposure to the production of meth while performing their duties. The University of Utah Rocky Mountain Center for and Occupational metham-phetamine- s. HiGm Environmental Health (RMCOEH) has contracted with the Commission to perform the Occupational Disease Study. Intermountains contribution will be used to hire an outside consultant to review the work of RMCOEH and report progress to an Oversight Committee for the Labor Commission. This study will help us make policy decisions about whether exposure entitles public safety workers to compensation benefits, said Sherrie Labor Utah llayashi, Commissioner.
