The course is open to anyone, but is especially designed for youth ages 14 to 16 years-of-ag- Many of those affected were young people. Since its conception, more than 200 people have taken the course and become certified. Of those who have taken the course, there have been no disabling or life threatening inju- ries reported. All youth who are working on farms or who have a desire to work on farms are encouraged to attend. Parents who allow their children to work on the family farm are encouraged to see that those children have received this safety training. Remem ber, the principles taught at this course could save a life.

This is to comply with Federal law that states that in order for any youth ages 14-1- 6 to be eligible to work on a farm that is not owned by their parents, they must have completed a Farm Safety Certification course. Because of the dangers on farms and the growing concern over protecting youth, the Utah Farm Bureau and USU have created the Farm Safety Certification process for youth who work on farms. This course has been held annually over the last 11 years in Sanpete County. Farm safety has become a major concern in agriculture practices. Nation wide in 1999 there were 770 deaths and 150,000 disabling injuries caused by farm accidents.

A growing body of evidence shows increased exposure to blue light may lead to retinal damage, said Robert Cionni, MD, medical director, Cincinnati Eye Institute and clinical investigator of the new lens. The AcrySof Natural IOL filters this potential dangerous blue light without negative visual consequences. Research suggests blue light may by one of the risk factors in the progression of macular degeneration (AMD). AMD is a leading cause of age-relat- blindness in the developed world. An irreversible, progressive disease, AMD is a degeneration of the macula, the light-sensiti- region of the ve retina.

Most gardeners grow plants in containers if they do not have enough space for a regular garden. Plants in containers can be grown indoors, on a patio, deck, terrace or balcony. They can be grown in window boxes, walkways, hanging baskets or other places that receive proper light. Lighting is one of the most important filings to consider. Generally it is recommended that vegetables get a minimum of six hours of full sunlight. This is not a problem durSur- ing the summer, but when growing them indoors in win- ter, supplemental light is needed. Purchase grow lights especially for vegetables that fruit, such as tomatoes. Tomatoes and other fruiting vegetables require temperatures near 80 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and 65 degrees Fahrenheit at night. This ensures good fruit set. These temperatures are warmer than most home settings. At cooler temperatures, plants grow less vigorously and fruit size and number is com- promised. Leafy vegetables such as lettuce grow better at cooler temperatures and are generally easier to grow. Be aware that indoor gardening can create pollination problems. Tomatoes set fruit best if the flowers are vibrated with they open. Some cucumber varieties may need to be physically cross-pollinat- since the plants produce separate male and female flowers on the plant. The smallest pot size to consider for indoor gardening is eight inches in diameter and eight inches deep. This works STEEL IlOOFING & SIDING BUY NOW DEALS PRE-SEASO- N LIMITED!

Attorney General Mark Shurtleff announced recently that nearly 30,000 Utahns will each get $13.86 checks within the next few weeks. But wait, theres more. The settlement will also bring 43,762 compact discs to 59 Utah public and university li- braries in late April or early May. This is one time that I be getting their settlement checks. Recipients had to file a claim by March 3, 2003, stating they had purchased a compact disc, cassette or vinyl album between Jan. 1, 1995 and Dec. 22, 2000. One out of every 125 Utahns filed a claim. Utah and 41 other states sued five of the largest music distributors and three of the largest retailers for conspiring to artificially hike their prices. The lawsuit claimed that policies requiring a Minimum Advertised Price dont mind saying, The check lawsuit helped bring lower prices, more choices, some extra cash and lost of CDs to Utah, says Wayne Klein, the assistant attorney general who represented Utah in the lawsuit.

A large plant, such as a tomato or cucumber will require a much larger container to allow for ample root development. You can start your pots using either seeds or transplants. When using seeds, over-plathe pots and thin later to get the desired number of plants per container. Be sure to allow plenty of space so the plant can grow without crowding. It is easy to over-watand cause root rot. A good rule of thumb is to apply water when the soil is dry about one inch below the soil surface. In addition to watering, container plants need to fertilized regularly with a complete fertilizer mix.
