Show I Wednesday. August 28. 1996 Its Time celebrate the fact the its time for the kids to go back to school! Its also a time for everyone to slow down. There will be children in the school zones and at comer bus stops. This means that, as drivers we must be extra careful on our way to and from work and while just driving around town in general. As we head to work each day, sometimes we are thinking about the days events or problems at home or work and forget that we are driving. The car seems to know its way to work. Have you ever driven somewhere and after you have gotten there, not really remembering the routs you took? Now its time to really look and listen as you drive. Children will run around the bus into traffic to get to school. Children playing at bus stops will run out into the street without looking. They also seem to forget where the crosswalks are and will cross anywhere. The first couple of weeks are always the worst so its extremely important that all drivers be prepared for the coming weeks. Make sure you look behind you before you back across a sidewalk. Make sure you are aware of the buses and bus stops in your area. Most important, remember to SLOW DOWN in the school zones. It would be a very hard thing to survive mentally if you injured a child simply because you were in a hurry to get to work or were thinking about work and not paying attention to your driving. Cyclists cruised through our area last Wednesday as a part of Utah Centennial Bicycle Tour from St. George to Cache Valley. Many cyclists stopped for some nourishment, water and a rest on the leg from Richfield to Mt. Pleasant professor at Brigham Young University has confirmed an least adage: you are what you eat--it comes to fat. BYUs Larry Tucker, professor and director of health promotion in the PROVO--- A at Proposed Fishing Regulations Department of Physical Education, graduate student Lisa Nelson dis- covered in a recent study that fat in- take is proportionate to body fat per-centage in adult males. On Wednesday, September 11, the Southern Region Wildlife Advisory Council will hold a public meeting to discuss fishing regulations for 1997. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. at Panguitch High School 385 East 100 South in Panguitch. The proposed regulations for 1997 include some changes from previous years. All interested parties are encouraged to attend this meeting and participate in the public process. Copies of the proposed regulations may be obtained from the Division of Wildlife Resources office at 622 North Main Street in Cedar City.

Individuals swap insults and hand gestures, neglect to signal, tailgate and often cut others off. None of these actions are necessary and only make situations worse. To encourage safe and courteous driving, the Utah Safety Council along with the American Society of Safety Engineers-Uta- h Chapter, the Utah Highway Safety Office, and Thiokol have joined together to sponsor a public service campaign, entitled Drive Friendly. The program begins this Labor Day Weekend and is geared to remind drivers to: respect other motorists, share the road with motorcycle and bicycle riders, wear safety belts and buckle up children, observe road signs and signals, travel at safe speeds and never drink and drive. It is important for drivers to realize the toll that aggressive driving has on themselves and others. During the Labor Day Weekend alone, it is estimated that four Utahnswill die in traffic fatalities. With the reconstruction of along with the enormous growth taking place in Utah, the years ahead will prove to be challenging for motorists. To help alleviate stress and aggressiveness: Allow enough time to travel to and from work and other locations. Try to make the ride enjoy- able by surrounding yourself with good music, or something calming to you. Try to stay in the same lane for the majority of your trip. Quick and frequent land changes save little travel time. If you can, car pool; it means less driving for you and less cars on the road. Drive Friendly Brochures are available to individuals and groups who would like to participate in making Utahs roads friendlier and safer.

Few other studies have controlled for energy intake and fitness differences, Tucker said. The researchers recruited 203 healthy adult men who didnt drink or smoke for the study.

Too often we diminish that sense of worth by failing to take the time to listen to stories of adventures experienced in childhood and early adulthood. Remember the five Ls when in the company of older people: Live with them. Listen to them, Lament with them. Laugh with them and Learn from them. Remember too that personal posses- quite some time using the open-ende- d format. Responses will provide a lot of insight about the residents' thinking, feelings and behavior. However, this technique requires tremendous time and energy. Learn to apply close-ende- d questions when you and the elder begin to tire. Remember that posture is an excellent way of demonstrating respect and interest in what an elder is saying. Some rules to follow: Avoid crossing your arms and legs; such positions are associated with a closed mind. When you sit or stand with knees and feet slightly apart and hands and arms not touching the body, it suggests an open mind. Maintain eye contact and lean slightly forward. Assume a position similar to that of the other person whenever possible. Remember that comfort influences posture. For example, crossing the arms and legs may indicate a per- sions, furniture, pictures and other mementos are part of the past for the elder. Take the time to share the significance. Let the children and family members shown in photographs become part of the image you envision as you picture the older person in years gone by.
