Ogden Canyon Fall ; Choice of ditional Utah Department Transportation sound wall, the new designs were created by Plorrocks ; Sirloi Engineers. Horrocks had been contracted by Farmington City abut five months ago to study the situation in the Cave FIollow area. UDOT has proposed installing a sound barrier between and the Frontage Road from the .south end of the city park north to almost Glovers Lane. But. the state also granted the city a extension to see if any options could th be found. The first alternative introduced by and Horrocks Russell Youd Stephanie Smith included a retaining wall with a dirt berm with another i wall on top of that. Thick landscaping was also included. The cost of this ; ONE OF THE proposed alternatives landscaped berm, above. option was $382 per linear foot, well over the UDOT limit of $144 per linear foot. Alternative two, however, consisted of a berm with an eight to wall atop it. The base cost was in line with UDOT requirements, but the $109 per linear foot figure did not provide for landscaping or coping with wetlands or any utility lines buried in the area. Many of the city residents attending the meeting were from the Cave Hollow area, and most of those who 10-fo- ot consists of a sound Ro?'-- wall built into a spoke were in favor of some type of barrier being used to reduce the noise from Typical of these was Paul Hayward, who stated, either do UDOTs proposal or do Horrocks alternative two, but do something! Hayward really liked the Horrocks alternative, and so did Ed Johnson, who also claimed, it would be an irresponsible decision not to do something to mitigate sound in that area! Other sound barrier proponents challenged those who have called this an esthetics issue. 12 Oz.

Medicare will only pay for 30 days, and a Medigap insurance might cover you for up to 100 days. Most people cant afford long term care insurance. .What then? Federal money, allocated to and administered by the state, is available to assist the elderly who can no longer care for themselves. According to Mary Jane Ciccarello JD. with the state legal services of the Division of Aging and Adult Services, there are two separate programs for which an individual might apply. One is long term care in a nursing home. The second option is home health care. 1 Before going into a nursing home, a person needs to determine if he is eligible for Medicaid. If a persons income is low (less than $407 per month) he will probably qualify. A person's assets will be reviewed. Some things (such as his home, burial plot and auto) will be exempt. They wont take your home away from you, Ciccarello said, if when you enter the nursing home you say, I intend to return home! If a you are married, your spouse's income is not counted, and you can sign the house over to your spouse so the state cant touch it. If you have assets in both of your names, half of it will be counted as yours. You must keep $45 each month for spending money. If your spouse is not a resident of a nursing home, you may give some money to insure your spouse a total income of $1,327 You may then continue to pay your health and accident insurance if you have enough money left. Remaining money will go toward your nursing home costs. Medicaid will pay the rest of the bill. You cant transfer your home or other assets to your children or anyone else within three years before going into a nursing home. If you do, you will not be eligible for Medicaid. If your income andor assets exceed the Medicare limit, you may need to pay privately for part or all of your nursing home costs, until such a time as you have used up your resources. Home health care is less costly, and allows a person to remain in their own home. Home health aides can help you with bathing, dressing, fixing hair, medication, and light housekeepi- $15.96 -- Fresh Western Famil x R Vienna Rolls Case of 24 - $8,00 Fresh 15 Oz.

Vested parents assisting students at NUH LAYTON Students at North Layton Junior High School know they have a pal near by when they see an adult, usually parents of students in the school, wearing a special vest with the Longhorn logo on the back. These vested parents are PALS (Pals Assisting Longhorns). During the most active times of the day there are a minimum of six PALS wondering the halls or lunch room. This program has been going on for a few years but has increased in popularity over the last year or two, said Julie Bell, one of the parents. The vest they wear makes them visible to the kids and they get to know and trust them! Bell said with the problems going on in so many schools today, many schools are hiring security guard. PALS play a problem preventive roll and they are helpful to the kids, assisting them and being friendly with them. NUH has about 30 PALS parents volunteering their time (usually once a week) for the safety of the kids and the school. If a problem arises while they are vested, they dont have to get involved in it, they call the principal or other administration. Kids think twice before doing something they should not be doing! said Bell. They never know when a PALS parent will be turning the corner?
