fatal out of 4 (22 approximately crashes in Utah involved a teenage driver When the teenage driven chicle contained four or more occupants the crashes were twice as likely to be fatal than crashes involving teenage driven vehicles with fewer occupants Also the number of citations teen drivers receive for speeding and reckless driving increases with the number of passengers Passenger Limitation is only one part of Utah's Graduated Driver Licensing Law The other components are Extended Driving Practice Young drivers are required to spend more time behind the wheel to gain needed experience After teens pass the initial test in the driver education course a practice permit is issued A new driver must log thirty hours of driving practice before they receive their driver's cense Ten of the thirty hours must be drivenafter dark Nighttime Driving Restriction Because nighttime poses a greater risk to teens ' the law restricts driving between the hours of midnight and 5 am for new drivers until the age of 7 Certain exceptions for work school or religious activities and ricultural work are given Primary Seatbelt Law Teen are less likely to wear their seatbelts so the law makes it a primary offense for anyone under the age of 19 not to be properly restrained In other w ords a teen may be stopped for not using a seatbelt The Graduated Driver Licensing law gives parents greater involvement in their teen's driver licensing process The tended driving practice allows parents to closely monitor their teen’s driving The permission slip needed by young drivers to transport peers to specific activities gives parents the opportunity to make sure their teen's driving skills are adequate to ithstand the distractions of peer passengers volved 6) Uranus normally averages about 19 2 A U (1 8 billion miles) from the Sun with a diameter of about 3 682 (3 9 Earth diameters) Although Uranus may appear to be an whose axis lies almost uninteresting object it is the only planet in our solar system an east to perpendicular to its orbit about the Sun In other words instead of rotating in It has been west direction like most planets it rolls in a north to south direction theorized that Uranus might have been struck a glancing blow by an unknown object This is much like observing a passing through its orbit that caused the planet to topple toy top or gyroscope that slowly loses it momentum One can speculate how our planet Earth could be affected by a similar fate1 While visiting the constellation of Capricomus the globular star cluster M30 is a beautiful sight It is the only object within the reach of a pair of binoculars or small telescope in this constellation It is noted on the start chart above along with its photoM30 is about 40000 light years from us and has an estimated diameter of about graph 00 light years Because of its extremely dense core no one of the number of stars that it contains can be ascertained Best estimates are at least 50000 stars As we look into the area of sky that Capricomus occupies we are looking outwards of our galaxy into deep space in a direction to other galaxies rather into the core of ours Hopefully with a bit of patience and clear steady night both finding Uranus and M30 will offer a challenge to our readers NOTICE 1) Delta Area Chamber of Commerce By Michelle Fields Executive Assistant rjTttjTmu window of opportunity

viewing either with scope New moon occurs on Friday the 20th a For those that would like a challenge in locating objects with either binoculars or us small telescope the planet Uranus can easily be found in the constellation of Capricorn an “The Sea Goat" This constellation is located to our southeast after 23 00 hours in Delta ( ) area that appears almost devoid of stars Uranus is very close to the star to see much with binoculars as Capncomi as shown in the diagram below Don’t expect pinpoint of light However if Uranus will only appear as a 6 magnitude an have and eyepiece you owe a small telescope in the 80 mm of aperture (315) range a OOX magnification Uranus will appear as a small disk with clear that will yield at least of an cut distinction of color unlike any star The disk will most likely be about inch in diameter at such aperture and magnification It will take three time the aperture and magnification if one wishes to do some detailed observations J July 24 is a Holiday

teen crashes w ith laws designed to increase teen driver competency and safety " L'tuh has the highest percentage of teen driv ers in the country and projections dicate the teen population will

to change the way young drivers are licensed" reports Sen Karen Hale sponsor of the Passenger Limitation law "The adoption of these laws throughout the country is a testimony to the concern legislators and the public have about the high number of teen deaths and " injuries on the roads According to the University of Utah’s Crash Outcome Data Evaluation Systems Utah teenage drivers

Answer by: Michael Kuhns Utah State University Extension Forestry Specialist A landscape that gives a home or building the best chance for surviving a wildfire is one that provides a defensible space Fires need fuel oxygen and heat to bum Defensible space landscapes are low in fuel and help keep fire away from the structure so that firefighters have a chance to defend it Consider these tips in providing a defensible space landscape for your home Cut tall grass near structures A fire in dry grass bums quickly and is very difficult to control Create a zone around your home that contains only firewise plants Examples of firewise plants include mowed and irrigated turf moist perennials such as and maintained broadleaved irises and daylilies and a few trees and shrubs All plants and trees will bum if a fire is severe enough but some are more fire prone than others Conifers such as pines and spruces tend to be fairly flammable while many broadleaved trees are more fire resistant Remove all trees and shrubs from within 10 feet of homes and buildings Densebrush bums quickly and can act as a ladder for low flames to reach into larger trees or homes Maintain a fuel break of plants 30 to 70 feet away from homes and buildings on larger lots Fuel breaks act as a buffer between the manicured landscape near the home and adjacent property This becomes especially important in a severe fire Houses located high on steep slopes need wide clear spaces to protect them from fires areas burning uphill Local wind conditions may also warrant more Rake leaves and twigs from under trees and shrubs to reduce fuel loads Tree litter that accumulates on roofs and in gutters should also be removed regularly Litter accumulated on lower branches of trees and shrubs should be removed as well as litter in adjacent wildland areas if possible Litter should then be placed in an approved landfill Prune tree branches Prune branches 10 to 20 feet above the ground on large trees to prevent low fires from reaching the tree crowns Thin dense tree groups Though the grouping of trees is a commonlyused landscaping areas Thinning these groups will slow the technique it can be hazardous in spread of fire Remove firewood and other combustible materials from areas around buildings should be stored on the outside edge of your defensible space Make sure firefighters can reach all parts of your property Place fences trees and retaining walls so they don't restrict firefighting equipment access Cooperate with neighbors to pros ide large defensible spaces In areas where lot sizes are small and homes are close neighbors should work especially hard to have firewise landscaping If you properly maintain your lot but your neighbor's overgrown lot is only 10 feet from your house none of your preparations will keep your structure safe If there are many neighbors who aren't being cautious ordinances or restrictive covenants may be necessary for everyone's protection Check your landscape on a monthly basis and attend to problems before they become serious hazards These techniques will not guarantee complete fire safety however firew ise landscaping can greatly increase a home's chances of survival if a fire occurs A list of firewise plants is available at your USU County Extension office or on the Web site at extension usu edu'publicanatrpub2 htm Fillmore KlM IN lllfi DELTA COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER FILLMORE COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER Intermountain Health Care Facilities J |
