DUTSON OWNED To Ease Travel Concerns Check insurance SALT LAKE CITY Travelers can gam peace of mind by making sure they are adequately covered against any unforeseen circumstances by checking thcr existing policies and investigating the benefits of tnp insurance vises AAA Utah If a vacation involves a cruise overseas lour or an apartment or house rental charges which are normally paid in full before departure - trip insurance can provide the security travelers need to fully enjoy their holiday In many instances insurance costs can be relatively inexpensive and well worth the investment Tnp cancellation or interruption insurance erages about $7 per $ 00 of vacation costs “The small additional purchase of tnp insurance can save thousands of dollars if travelers are forced to cancel due to foreseen circumstances” said Rolayne Fairclough AAA Utah spokeswoman "In general the closer to departure date the more is losL up to and including the full amount and possibly meals and admissions to attractions ” Trip insurance is a traveler’s safety net should the unexpected anse To achieve the greatest benefit AAA Utah advises travelers to read the contract in full before purchasing trip insurance to know everything the policy covers and the restrictions imposed by some insurance companies AAA Utah suggests purchasing the insurance from a qualified travel professional AAA Ltah advises against: Purchasing a policy from the wholesale tour operator from which you bought the trip because if that company goes out of business the chances are the policy would be worthless Buying trip insurance from a cruise line because these policies may offer less coverage and benefits may stop between 24 and 72 hours before you depart AAA recommends a policy that will cover you up to the departure time and or throughout the entire trip Travelers need to determine if their isting insurance policies will cover their needs when they or family members are AAA Ltah offers the following away tips Check with your auto insurance company before renting car to find out if your are covered in the event of an accident Most policies do not cover travelers when out of the country except in Canada Travelers may need insurance through a car rental company and an ternational driving permit depending on the country in which they are traveling Find out lfyour personal policies cover lost luggage If you have an umbrella policy lost luggage may already be covered Check with your medical insurance provider before purchasing extra coverage for your overseas tnp Many United States health plans do not cover you outside of the country unless you are traveling on business There are several international medical policies available that can lie customized to fit your travel plans Also if you are a senior citizen you should sume that Medicare will not provide coverage while you are in a foreign country ' Editor's ole Letters to the Editor must be signed to be considered for publication

invited tell your friends and let's make this a good old Millard County Reunion See you there' Loma Bunker Lynn Davies Article in Tribune says Dear Fditor The headline on an article in The Salt lake Tribune dated April 18 2001 states ( ounty Jails Hit by Prisoner Shortage Buffer program isn't working as planned ” The lead paragraph in ihe article stales “Don’t build it (jails) because they ain’t coming Prisoners that is " It goes on to state that there are “ large and embarrassingly empty new jails alrcadv available in 5eber and Washington Counties " Incredibly our coun'y commissioners have recently authorized a new expansion to our county jail built specifically to house state prisoners Certainly the cost is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars Payment from the state to Millard County for housing stale prisoners is lo pay for the new addition If there aren't prisoners to fill the beds Millard County taxpavers will be left to pay the bill for the expansion ct's hope a stale prisoner shortage in Millard County doesn’t become an unexplained fiasco like the California power storage A concern taxpayer Thomas E Chandler DN1D O MlEari cmtjf skks ljr7 Treat As w e near the end of the month of April w e have a nice w mdow of opportunity to do some deep sky observing since the Moon will not reach First Quarter until Monday the 30 It will appear only as a slender crescent on the 25 through the 27 setting before until May 10 midnight on the 27 After the 27 we will have to contend w ith its glare when afterwards it will set after midnight or For those readers that start early in the evening observing the constellation On on and Taurus in the west offer us a final winter view and for those that wait until 23 00 hours or later w ill begin to see the summer constellations of Scorpio and Sagittarius rising m the southeast All four of these constellations offer a treasure trove of deep space objects that were discussed in earlier articles in the not too distant past When we look towards Orion we are actually looking out of our spiral galaxy through the Orion Arm in which our Solar System resides As we look in the direction of Scorpio we gaze into the very core of our galaxy This is obvious from the numerous stars in this direction Many of our readers have also noted that the Milky Way now lies low over the western horizon extending from Cassiopeia to the north and through Puppis in the South This is most obvious around 22 00 hours when the sky is truly dark If we were able to leave our galaxy and could stand on a planet that was inclined about 30 degrees to the plane of our galaxy and about 30000 light years from the core our would be galaxy would look a lot like the drawing below Our Solar System of course invisible to the human eyes and our Sun would be lost amongst the million of stars As a matter of fact if we knew the exact location of our Sun at such a distance its brilliance as we know it would require a telescope with an aperture of at least 20 inches to see it1 WTien we peer through a large telescope and look at the Andromeda galaxy M3 'NGC 224 we see a similar situation only on a grander scale and at a slightly different angle In addition M3 is 2 2 million light years away from us " & Concern about Dust Chem To whom it may concern This letter is to express my concern about Dust Chcm's produce Magnesium Chloride work in an automotive shop in Fillmore see the effects of this chemical on a regular basis This SALT solution which is applied to various gravel roads in the county is not unlike any other salt when applied to the roads we drive on It is very corrosive and destroys the underside of your vehicle Since the county started using Dust Chem we have found that you can tell which vehicles drive these roads on a regular basis This chemical is damaging even new er vehicles When Millard County first started buying Dust Chem they published an article about its benefits It claimed it many benefits of asphalt at 14 the cost It has since been applied to Cedar Mountain road three times that I’ve noticed if not more Dust Chem also creates a hard crust on the top of these gravel roads then when pot holes fomi they are deeper and more frequent also live in Flow ell where it is closer and faster to drive to the airport road drive of dirt road that has recently been two miles oul of my way each way to avoid a treated would suggest that anybody traveling these roads on a regular basis do the would a'so like to ask the county commission to reconsider the use of this same chemical in tne future led that for the money being spent on this product there could have been a lot more asphalt roads which require a lot less maintenance last longer and do not harm your vehicle Sincerely Jason G Christensen Jail expansion feasible Dear Fditor The question is the planned jail expansion still going ahead on schedule in light of the article on jails in the April 19 issue ofth e Salt Lake Tribune” was asked of the Sheriff's Office the other day After reviewing the arfcle written by Greg Burton of the Tribune and having attended the same meeting that he was reporting on we can understand the question being asked However very little if anything written about the article would affect the feasibility and viability of the addition to the jail Everything that made it a feasible project a year ago still makes it feasible Millard County because of continued sound fiscal management does not have to bond or borrow to fund the project and at the same time of planned completion the beds contracted for by the state will be filled and paid for just as they have been in the past Keep in mind this project was started at the request of the State Department t)f Corrections last year and the request was followed up with action in the form of the 2001 legislature passing H J R 14 entitled Resolution Supporting Counties Expansion of Correctional Facilities wherein Millard County is specifically mentioned “The glut of new jail beds” mentioned in the article are to some degree present today but after factoring in annual inmate population growth both in county jails and the state’s prison system the “glut" completely disappears by this time next year The cutbacks mentioned in the article were discussed at the meeting but will not be occurring in light of newer and more accurate information including the real number of beds presently available for use by state inmates one real positive effect of the reported meeting that was presently available for use by state inmates One real positive effect of the reported meeting that was brought to light is how important it is for county jail commanders State Department of Corrections managers the governor’s budget staff and the legislatures analyst and planning office to be working in concert and sharing the latest available information What is in all this for Millard County9 It allows Millard County to operate a county jail something we are required to do at no cost to the local tax rolls because of the contract income 2 By contracting a state responsibility to be handled in Millard County instead of Salt Lake or Sanpete Counties it provided good jobs here rather than there 3 By repaying and after repaying the cost of construction through contract monies Millard County gains facilities that are not needed now but will cover those needs for at least the next 20 years hat's in it for the State of I tah? It provides the state with usable facilities for a state obligation without affecting the construction of other needed state facilities le building and highways 2 It provides flexibility to the state Department of Corrections in housing mates in smaller more manageable and more programmable populations It provides a service to the state at a slightly smaller cost than they can do it 3 for themselves 4 It creates viable economic development to rural counties without any additional costs It truly is a winwin situation for both county and state government - ultimately all taxpayers Capt Robert Dekker Jail Commander Sherif Ed Phillips can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you ‘ — Dale Carnegie You DRIVE HOME A FEW SAFETY RULES TO YOUR RIDS Si hx)l bus safety is everyt xty's business ho please take a few minutes to make sure that your kids underrules of the n d They re stand the simple to learn Easy to follow Be on time 2 Never run to or from the bus 3 Stand back from the curb 4 Don’t push or shove 5 Stay in your seat 6 Dm yell or shout 7 Always obey the driver 8 Vait for the driver s signal before crossing 9 Always cross at least ten J llf fiUr feet in front of the bus 10 Never crawl under a school bus And best of all they re designed to help keep kids safe Isn’t that what we re all driving at9 w The National PTA For those observers that own a telescope of sufficient aperture (4" or more) the red planet Mars rises over our eastern mountain shortly after 23 10 hours as a reddish looking star Although not yet favorable positioned in its orbit around the Sun in relationship to the Earth this would be an ideal time to start observing As our faster planet Earth overtakes Mars we will have the opportunity to observe us opposition or closest point to us On a favorable night of good seeing and a steady atmosphere one should be able to see the polar caps and some of the surface markings at a magnification of 200X Normally for most telescopes 50 power per inch of aperture is pushing a telescope near its optical limits but for the bright objects such as planets and perlative atmospheric conditions 75 power per inch may not be unusual without image degradation Several years ago the author had the opportunity to view Mars with a 10" of aperture telescope in combination with a 4 mm eyepiece and a 8X Barlow to achieve a magnification of 900X The was age relatively sharp but the best views were at 500 X magnification A magnification of 90X per inch finally reduced to 50X per inch yield a crisp image lke those found in astronomical textbooks It is worth experimenting now to get ready for Mars opposition ( New Horizons Crisis Center ) “Psychological Benefits of J ' -- Defense Training li 658 of readers use newspaper advertising to help make shopping t?
