Show The sport fish restoration program working for anglers since 1950 cies and territories on approved sport fish restoration projects. Since 1950, the Spent Fish Restoration Program haa provided close to $4 billion to state fish and wildlife agencies to increase recreational fishing and boat--' ing opportunities. Fishing enthusiasts and boaters acknowledge that the result is among the most successful user pays, user benefits" program anywhere in the world. In the past 10 years, the Sport Fish Restoration funds have helped The Sport Fish Restoration Act celebrates 50yesnofsucoess on Aug. 9, 2000. Since Ha passage in 1960, this landmark legislation haa improved nearly evwy facet ofthe American fishing experience. In tribute, thousands of anglers and boaters acroaa the country are expected to Join the year long celebration. Introduced by Congisaaman John Dingcll Sr., of Michigan and Senator Edwin Johnson of Colorado, the Act was signed into law by President Harry Truman in Aug. 1950. Amended several timea since, the Sport Fish Restoration Act uses taxes on fishing tackle, motorboat fuel and pleasure boats to fund 63 of every $4 spent by state fish and wildlife agen-- to: build 1,700 brand new boating access and 3,300 new fishing access areas. educate more than 4.7 million students in fishing skills and aquatic Questions and answers about using fluoride Answer by: Georgia bauritzen and Deloy Hendricks, Utah StaU University Extension Food and Nutrition Specialists, and Ann Baker, Dietetic Malaysia. In the U&, approximately 70 of all cities with populations above 100,000 use fluoridated water. Overall, an estimated 62 of the U5. population had access to fluoridated water in 1992. Only two percent of the Utah population has access to fluoridated water Brigham City, Helper and Hill Air Force Base have water systems with added fluoride while Delta, Snowville and Milford have naturally high fluoride levels in their water Student Fluoride is a natural mineral found in various concentrations in all drinking water and soiL While it is not considered essential for human growth and development, it is beneficial. Fluoride is the only nutrient that reduce the occurrence and prevalence of tooth decay in both children and adults. The use of fluorides and fluoridation is endorsed by many professional health organizations as the most effective dental public health measure in existence. How does fluoride protect teeth? "Promotes remineralization of supplies. "Increases resistance to acid de-cay "Prevents and inhibits formation of plaque "Helps permanent teeth in children mature faster "Improves tooth structure How did we learn about fluo- ride? In the early 1900s, several dentists, particularly in the southwest region of the United States, saw unusual stains or 6mottied enamelft on the teeth of many of their patients. These stains, while displeasing to look at, were highly resistant to tooth decay. Researchers discovered that the occurrence and severity of the stained teeth (called dental fluorosis) was associated with high levels of fluoride found naturally in the water state safety of water fluoridation. Overall, the safety and effectiveness of water fluoridation haa been reevaluated frequently with little credible evident to support an association between fluoridation and any disease conditions. What are other sources of fluoride besides fluoridated water? While fluoridated water is the most reliable and most effective source of fluoride, supplements, dental products, and even some foods can provide the needed amounts of fluoride to protect dental health. The prescription of fluoride supplement pills for children is an effective (but less reliable) alternative to water fluoridation. Topical application sources include fluoride mouth rinses, toothpastes and gels. The concentration of fluoride in all of these products is very high, as they are meant to be usm! topically only. Danger of excess fluoride is passible ifthe products are ingested and parents should use caution as young children learn tobrush their troth to teach them not to swallow the toothpaste. supply. Scientists believed that dental decay could be prevented by increasing fluoride amounts in the water supply. Starting in 1945, four commtrial studies were conunity-baaed ducted in areas with low fluoride amounts in the water. Two communities, usually neighboring location were paired. One received increased fluoride in their water, the other had no change. These communities were followed for 5 years. Water fluoridation resulted in a 50-7- 0 percent reduction in tooth deoyr. 1962 recommendations were made in the United States that the optimum range of fluoride concentrations for cavity prevention is between 0.7 and 1.2 ppm (parts per million). The lower range was recommended for warmer climates where water consumption was higher and the higher concentrations for colder climates. 15-1- u What happens If you get too much fluoride? Excessive fluoridecan cause den- tal fluorosis which is the mottling (discoloration) of tooth enamel that occurs in children as the permanent teeth develop, before they appear. In mild cases, the teeth are highly resistant to tooth decay but may have What areas of the world now receive fluoridated water? Orgamaxi- mum concentration of 1 A ppm fluo-rid- e in drinking water to avoid dental fluorisis. Reoognisingthe benefit of water fluoridation on dental health, many nations responded using the recommended WHO standards as a guide. Hong Kong and Singapore fluoridate all their water supplies. Fluoridated water fa provided to more than half of the residents in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand and the United States Other countries with large water fluoridation programs include Brasil, Canada, Chile and Utah, Is water fluoridation safe? Fluoridation is one of the most thoroughly studied community health issues. The American Dental Association has gathered extensive research on the safety of fluoridation and results showed no increased rate of aiy chronic diseaaedue to fluoridation. In 1988 the U.S. surgeon general iasued a report stating that fluoride levels in drinking water are safe. In 1989 the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences, released a report stressing the teeth In 1964 the World Health nisation (WHO) set a standard In legislationrequires the consent of local voters before any community may initiate fluoridation. ( chalky white patches, usually nly detectable during dental exams and as such are not a cosmetic concern. Severe fluorosis causes dark brown stains and can interfere with proper tooth mineralisation. In summary, when fluoride is provided in optimal amounts, provides mqjor dental health benefits to all age groups. Introducing our new 18-mon- ecology. Fund thousands of research and inventory projects to restore and manage fish populations. "This is one of those programs in which everyone wins, including the resources," said Bruce Babbitt, Secretary of the Department ofthe Interior. "People who go boating and fish-in- g win because the special taxes they pay go right back into improving facilities that they use and in restoring the fish that they catch. As both are improved, more people are drawn to this kind of recreation and that generates more money for these mqjor American recreational uses. "Without any doubt, this program has been one of enormous success," said Jamie Rappaport Clark, Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. "With this program, conservation wins, and all of the people who eqjoy and depend on the resource win as well. Part of the Service mission statement mentions working with others, and nothing could point to that better than this program. "The Sport Fish Restoration Act Amend merit with the Wallop-Breau- x is undoubtedly the most important revenue-generatin- g legislation for fisheries management in the United States," said Helen Sevier, Chairman and CEO of the Bass Angler Sportsman Society (B ASS.). "This user pays, system of conservation funding joins the resource users, anglers and boaters, together with state fisheries agencies and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service torestore and manage aquatic resources in the United States. David Waller, President of the International Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies and Director of the Wildlife Resources Division, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, said, "Each year state fish and wildlife agencies receive more than $200 million in Sport Fish Restoration Funds to protect and improve our nation's aquatic resources. Its very rewarding to see that those who pay the tax are the same ones who enjoy the direct benefits of their contributions." Special activities are planned to mark the 50 anniversary from June 5. 2000, the opening day of N ational Fishing Week, through National Huntingand Fishing Dqy 2000, Sept. 23. 2000.- The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and other partners, including the American Fisheries Society, the American Sportfishing Association. BA.S.S. and the I nternational Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies have teamed up to lead this 50 anniversary celebration, encouraging people to "step outside and enjoy m : fishing."' -- TheU&FishandWildlireSerriro is the principal Federal agency responsible for conserving, protecting and enhancing Fish and wildlife and their habitat for the continuing benefit ofthe American people. The Service manages the National Wildlife Refuge System comprised of more than 520 national wildlife refuges, thousands of small wetlands and other special management areas. It also operates 66 national fish hatcheries, 64 fishery resource office and 78 ecological service field stations. The agency enforces Federal wildlife laws, administers the Endangered Species Act, manage migratory bird populations, restores nationally significant fisheries, conserves and restores wildlife habitat such as wetland and helps foreign governments with their conservation efibrts.lt also oversees the Federal Aid program that distributes hundred of millions of dollar in excise taxes on fishing and hunting equipment to state fish and wildlife agenoe. Each year, state fish and wildlife agencies receive a portion of the Sport Fish Restoration Fund based on their land and water area and the number of licensed anglers in the state. State agencies submit project proposal to address individual need and priorities. Funds may be used for fisheries management and research, habitat pundiaarand restoration, boating and fishing access and aquatic and angler education program MEETING TEACHER-Stude- nts meet with a teacherduring East Elementary's "Hot Dog Hello", Wednesday.
