Special burn is planned Dinosaur National to conduct aprescribed bum at the Placer Point picnic area near Dinosaur Quarry. According to park superintendent, Denny Huffman, the objective of the bum is to remove tall dense sagebrush, in an effort to make the picnic area more pleasant for park visitors. An additional abjective is to reduce the potential fire haxard in the picnic area. At present the picnic area is dominated by sagebrush up to six feet tall. The density of the brush limits the area available for picnic use, and creates a very congested, closed atmosphere. The large cottonwood trees in the picnic area will be protected before the bum. Plans call for burning about 20 acres under selected weather conditions, some time between now and the middle of September. Huffman noted that traffic near the bum may be temporarily slowed or halted if smoke limits' visibility on the read. A viewing area will be established so visitors can watch the prescribed bum from a safe location. The monument plana to re-seed the area thia fall with a mix-- , turn of native grasses. Additional native cottonwood will also be planted to provide shade.

Schvaneveldt says health-co- n acious parents, especially those who have had a history of weight problems, tend to worry about weight problems of their children. They often base this on the prevalent belief that fat babies grow up to be fat adults. This ft a belief baaed on the old fat cell theory, that stated that the number and kind of fat cells you have as an adult an determined by your weight as an infant. Although this theory has been discounted, many parents till believe it and take it to unhealthy extremes. She says one common problem is parents wanting to put infants on low-fdairy product diets because offear of added calorie and cholesterol. This is especially dangerous because infants need cholesterol for the proper nervous system development They also need calories. Infants generally triple their birth weight in the first year. Severe restriction of calories will impede babies growth. Feeding infents skim milk instead of whole milk may also cause essential fatty add deficiencies, Schvaneveldt says. She suggests that parents monitor the weight and height of their infants to m ake sure they are growing at a rata within normal ranges for infants of thair age and sex. This information can be obtained from a pediatririan or dietitian. If parents concerns are based on a family history of health problems such aa hypertension, diabetes or cardiovascular disease, special dietary changes still shouldnt be made until children reach age two.
