Show We Teach By Example October 23 1996 Salina SunGunnison Weekly Crop Report How can by Trooper Terry C Smith Utah Highway Patrol Public Information and Education Officer As I go into the elementary schools to talk to your children am always amazed at how much knowledge they possess If you ask any child from kindergarten to the fifth grade how to safely cross the street they will tell you that you walk to the crosswalk or the corner to cross the street They will also tell you that you must look both ways before crossing If there is not a crosswalk they will tell you that you still cross at the comer and that you should not cross the street from between parked cars So as you can see police officers in schools and teachers have done a pretty good job of teaching your children Now let’s talk about what they see As they are driving down Main Street they watch adults crossing between parked cars They see them cross everywhere except in the crosswalk They watch as people continue to drive by and not let anyone cross Main Street - even at crosswalks We are really setting a great example! We are too lazy or in too big of a hurry to walk to the comer so we just run out into traffic What a great example! Next time you drive down Main Street watch for pedestrian traffic Also they do have the if it’s good enough for our children it should be good enough for us adults to walk to the comer to cross We cannot continue to teach one thing and then do another Our children already have enough things to confuse them Also slow down and take a look especially after school Young children are standing on comers waiting for a change to run across the street because all the drivers are either blind or oblivious to them standing there waiting to cross So start sending the right message - cross where you should and how you should Teach - don’t preach You can’t expect your children to cross the right way if you are showing them the says clean air act working EPA EPA’s latest report on the Clean Air Act shows that law is working By all measures most of the nation’s air quality has improved over the past 0 years EPA’s air quality trends analysis of criteria pollutants shows that: smog levels dropped 12 lead level decreased 86 S02 is down 25 carbon monoxide levels fell 28 nitrogen oxide (NOx) pollution has Answer by: Clen Johnson USU Extension family and human development specialist Americans are spending an increasing amount of time at work and less time on leisure activities Families are eating fewer meals together American families have both or the only parent employed outside the home now more than ever and when both parents work less time is spent interacting with children spouses and on domestic chores These factors all add up to the need to find a comfortable balance between careers and personal and family lives Consider these suggestions Be willing to make changes in your work schedule or commitment at home and at work If you are married work to maintain the marriage relationship at a high level of satisfaction for both partners Reading talking attending seminars spending time together and learning from others are excellent ways to improve a marriage Examine the career path you are choosing to take and modify if it doesn’t fit your goal of balance between work and family Examine your expectations for standard of living as well as what things are most important to you and redefine your goals if necessary Reallocate the domestic work load and if it becomes necessary lower your expectations Evaluate the domestic duties you can hire out or delegate to someone else Practice sound health and fitness Seek to have good feelings of principles and be involved in providing meaningful service to others How do I save and store vegetable wrong way place To ensure low moisture conditions place two tablespoons of fresh powdered mile in a double layer of facial tissue and put it in the bottom of a storage jar Replace it each year Here are guidelines on how long seeds can be stored The years are approximations and will vary with environmental conditions Parsnip one year leek okra onion parsley and sweet com two years asparagus bean carrot and pea three years beet broccoli brussel sprout cabbage cauliflower mustard pepper and tomato four years celery cucumber eggplant kohlrabi lettuce muskmelon pumpkin radish spinach squash turnip and waterDirect column topic UT questions to: Julene Reese USU Extension fax Phone accidents-ce- ll SOUTHICHINAICAHE 3$ Specialty Dish each month This Month's Specialty : Crab Delight Eat inTake Out 896-900- 7 Nielsen 147 Owner Utah milk production during the third quarter of 1996 totaled 410 million pounds up eight percent from the same quarter of 1995 according to the Utah Agricultural Statistics Service The number of milk cows during the quarter averaged 92000 head 4000 head more than the third quarter of 1995 Milk per cow was 4457 pounds up 150 pounds from the previous year Grain and other concentrates fed to milk cows on October 1996 aver1995 The value aged 164 pounds per cow 05 pounds less than October averper hundredweight of grain and concentrates fed to cows on October 1995 aged $920 up $150 from October Nationally the quarterly production of milk was 387 billion pounds percent below the period in 1995 The average number of milk cows in the US during the quarter was 935 million head 120000 less than the same period last year did not receive the Salina Producers Auction report before press time Sorry for any inconvenience We f FRIDAY SATURDAY - NOVEMBER - NOVEMBER — VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL GUNNISON 600 SOUTH MAIN - GUNNISON UTAH t GIFTS ACCESSORIES - SOUPS 6 Main St Richfield Ut Next to Huish Theatre 401 CANNON VOTE (131-29- 178 51696 REPUBLICAALCHRIS DEMOCRAT BILL ORTON'S BUDGET PRIORITIES TnTTTPTmmirrray Raise the tax burden by $2 1 billion dollars by allowing inflation to push taxpayers into higher tax brackets fir kSmOft DD9R Reduce allowances for our seniors by $294 billion Reduce defense budget authorization by $64 billion below the level requested by the Clinton Administration ' ftJB Up & we’ll cook it for you!
