On other wmds, approximately 500,000 teens become s mothers each year of which are unmarried. The United States teen birth rate is not only the highest among all advanced nations, it is more than twice as high as the United Kingdom which has the second highest teen birth rate. The cost of these teen births is enormous. Once study estimates that early childbearing along costs U.S. taxpayers nearly $7 billion annually for social services and forgone tax revenues. Statistics show that 54 percent of teen mothers end up on welfare. Teen birth rates were higher in the 1960s and somewhat higher in the 1970s than today.However.attitudes toward marriage were different then. The Annie E. Casey Foundation made the following observations about teen birth rate trends. During the 1960s, of the births to more than two-thir15 - 16 year olds females occurred within marriage. At that time, marriage was viewed as an ultimate life three-fourth- Continued from page cent since 1991. Equally important, the decline occurred in every state and in the District ofColumbia, and among all races and ethnic groups. Studies have been able to identify the teens most at risk of becoming teen mothers. They are teens who family who grow up ina live in poverty or a low income neighborhood, have low attachment to ud nt performance in school, and have parents with low educational attainment. houseTeens living in a single-parehold are one and a half to two timea more likely to be a teen mother as are teens growing up in a nt two-pare- household, according to tha Foundations findings. Children of teen mothers are leas likely to eryoy good beahh than chiln dren of mothers. They are more likely to be victims of abuse and n neglect than those born to mothers. Furthermore, as these children age, they art three timea more likely to be incarcerated aa those of non teen mothers. non-tee- non-tee- -- - .N? - - : t NAPS V Math competitions, such aa Mathcounta, can excite students about mathematics, lb learn more, visit the Web site at http Jf mathcounta.org or call the Mathcounta Foundation at (703) 684-282-8.

They were signed into law by Utah Governor Mika Leavitt on March 23. The tails include House Bill 334, 7 Mapping and Documentation and Other Structures, which provides grants to map roads and structures in proposed wilderness areas using global positioning technology. The bill was by Representative Keele Johnson of Blanding and provides $500,000 for counties to map their roods. County officials say the mapping effort is a critical component of their effort to fight the designation of large tracts of land aa wilderness. An additional $1 millioa was set aside by the Legislature as a legal defense fund that could be used to fight wilderness designations. 11m money was taken from the Community Impact Board funds. ofRS-247- Right-Of-W-ay ARTIFACTS 1 USU Uintah Basin Branch Campus director Dr.Lsiidllartmanenvisioned a living local history museum at tbs school as we!L The idea was to have historical displays and hands-o- n interpretations of the exhibits.

It encourages interested parties to work together to develop a Congressional proposal for wilderness in Utah.

I constantly remind people that the most important way to insure a great vegetable garden, flowers, shrubs or trees is to start eritb good soil, says Jerry Goods peed, Utah State Unieersity Extension horticultural ist. I still believe the best way to improveyour sail is with compost. Making compost is a relatively simple process. Choosing how to compost is the hard part for most people. Too many fancy cwnposters are bought, used ones and then become as inactive as a shovel ia a teenager's hand. Goods peed laments. The com poster I grew up with was s bole in the ground (known as a pit com poster), he says. The advantage was it never caused much problem throughout the season. The disadvantage was the smell and removing the compost at the end of the season. Atumbler com poster has become popular lately. Goods peed says. They look impressive, take up a small space, can be moved easily, are easy to aerate (which eliminates most odors) and produce compost relatively quickly. The disadvantages of tumblers are that they can be very expensive and may weaken and even break if not constructed well, he cautions. They hold very little compost and have no storage ability. He recommends them far gardeners with a small lot or gardening area. The bin or box ia probably the most common, Cooospeed says. These can be nest in apprerance and hold more material than the tumbler. They hold the heat well and, if turned regularly, na produce good compost in month or You 're Invited! ANNUAL MEETING OF MEMBERS :: IN BLOOM Come republicans, who want to taka away property along with the environmentalists. These people think they are wiser than anyone else and want to control the land and resources He up the tension by stating that, This hat been the town meeting wuh the harshest tone on the issues. I appreciate your candidness and I love the people here. The antagonism regarding lime issues is certainly war- ranted .

It is the haute for freedom. Our country has gotten itself ia a temfic bad hole. There issbesir concept that binds America together. It is the idea that we believe that we have certain righta from God,and we must work to maintain those rights,' concluded Cannon. The bin or box can also be expensive to buy or build and is s real pain when it comes to rotating and aeraung the materials he tsys. 1 have seen hundreds of these com posters filled once and then left to sit for the next generation to worry about Irecotnfnend them only for dedicated gardeners who are willing to spend the time turning and working the compost. A refinement of the box com poster is the triple bin method. Goods peed adds Three bins are placed side by side, allowing one for storage and the other two to be used to move the composting material back and forth for aeration. This method can produce an enormous amount of compost. Tips on prevention of carbon monoxide poisoning What is carbon monoxide? A colorless, odorless, deadly gas you cask see, taste, or smell.
