Show THE OGDEN VALLEY NEWS Page 12 “"""" January 15, 2007 in your own gardens. Last year we lost most of your herbs due to heat so this winter we have built a shade structure to help with growing the herbs. Last season we had more than 400 families join the program and are looking forward to even more this year. Once again, our program will run for 20 weeks. We will start the first part of June and run through October (weather permitting, the season could run earlier or later). Members will receive a weekly assortment of produce and some fruits that are available throughout the summer. To ensure the highest quality possible, the produce will be harvested the same morning as the delivery. When the season gets closer, we will send out letters with exact pick up locations and exact start dates. st Farms offers half shares as well as full shares. Typically we see families of one to three subscribing to half shares, and families greater than three using full shares. Shares will generally contain four or more types of produce. A half share typically is a half bushel in volume or weight. Full shares are double a half, and may contain more types of produce than a half. We strive to offer an ever-changing mix of produce from week to week, and try not to over do it on one product or another. One change this year is that Monday pickups will be changed to Tuesday pickups. We will also be adding a few new vegetables to the mix so watch out for these. We will be offering an early order discount to those who sign up before March also will have a pumpkin patch again for everyone to come out and harvest their own pumpkin. We had a lot of families come out and take advantage of this despite the rain and mud last fall. This benefit will be included in your share at no additional cost. Early Order Discount: In order to run a vegetable farm efficiently, much planning is needed. So, to get a better feel of what is needed in the way of supplies for crops to row and purchase, I am encouraging early orders. For all of our members who sign up and pay before March | we will offer a discount. Our early order prices are as follows: Share Early Price: $185. After March 1, $195. Whole Share Early Price: $365. After March 1, $380. st Farms website has been updated for the 2007 season. You can obtain more information about this year’s program, as well as find sign up sheets. We are only taking 500 signups this year; we anticipate they will fill up fast. So order early and take advantage of the discounted produce rate. Our website ess is <www.eastfarms.net Thank You very much for your interest in East Farms CSA. 2 Q. It’s hard to believe that another year has come and gone. At East Farms, we are already iin the planning stages of yet another growing season—2007! What is Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)? A is a partnership of mutual commitment between a farm and a community of supporters, which provides a direct link between the production and consumption of food. Supporters cover a farm’s yearly operation budget by purchasing a share of the season’s harvest. CSA members make a commitment to support the farm throughout the season, and assume the costs, risks, and bounty of growing food along with the farmer or grower. Members help pay for seeds, fertilizer, water, equipment maintenance, labor, etc. In return, the farmer provides, to the best of his/her ability, a healthy supply of seasonal fresh produce throughout the growing season. East Farms LLC is a family owned and operated farm. We are currently farming over two hundred acres, 30 of which is used for CSA, and is grown to meet organic standards. We also grow for wholesalers and farmers markets. When you get your CSA box of fresh produce every week, the variety may vary from what you see at the farmer’s market since the CSA is a separate farm. Our CSA is composed mainly of vegetables, but we will also be farming grandma’s orchard this year, and should have fruit one to two times a month. We will also grow potted herbs again this year for fresh use or planting Visit www.ovba.org for SPECIAL OFFERS from local businesses, and view the COMMUNITY CALENDAR #1 Sales Team in Northern Utah MOUNTAIN GREEN $250,000 This is a prime building lot nestled in the mountain side with choice anor amic views and a UDOT Releases 2006 Fatal Crash Report—Seatbelt use up, drowsy driving down the Utah Department of Public Safety (DPS), and several other groups asked Utahns for help in reducing the number of deaths on Utah roads this year as part of an announcement releasing the 2006 traffic fatalities report. While the report showed the total number of traffic-related fatalities (283) had increased by one person compared to last year, several unsafe driving behaviors have dropped significantly. “In 2006, 283 people died on Utah’s roads. This is definitely not cause to celebrate,” said John Njord, UDOT’s executive director. “However, in 2006 we did see some improvements, including 60 percent fewer deaths attributed to drowsy drivers, 36 percent fewer speedrelated fatalities, and more people wearing their seatbelts as shown by a 32 percent drop in fatalities attributed to improper seatbelt use.” The Zero Fatalities program in 2007 will focus on educating teens about the dangers of unsafe driving. eer pressure is not always a bad thing,” said Njord. “When a teen gets into a car, then buckles his seatbelt, it sends a powerful reminder to his friends about safe driving behavior without even saying a word. Teens listen to other teens. They can be very powerful influencers.” As part of the event surrounding the release of the 2006 traffic fatalities report, the group unveiled a traveling visual reminder of those who died on Utah’s roads last year. Headstones representing the 283 traffic fatality victims will be displayed at various schools and public buildings this year, reminding people of the responsibility they bear every time they get behind the wheel. o view the aay fatalities report, <www.ZeroFatalities.com> 2006 sari Snowcrest Volleyball News By Colleen Stone, Snowcrest Student Reporter Bump, Set, Spike!

In order to play volleyball, not only must players know the basic rules and skills, but also how to work together as a team. A basic volleyball team is made up of six people on the court; three located in the “front row” and three located in the “back row.” Each game is played to twenty-five points and the leading team must win by two points.

Each of these skills is necessary to play the game of volleyball, and takes hours of practice and commitment on the part of each member of the team. However, those hours of practice build more than just skills; they also build friendships. Brandee Stokes, one of the three team captains, states, “My absolute favorite thing to do during the volleyball season was to go to practice every day with a great team and awesome coaches. I don’t remember one practice that I wasn’t looking forward to.” Madison Spainhower, another team captain, agrees. “The whole season would be my greatest memory. First, exencounte our differences then learnng to get along and developing an unforgettable trust.’ Awards for the team were given out at the pep assembly on January 5, 2007. The following players received awards: Brandee Stokes—Digger Award; Alix Stephens—Blockade Award; Tessa Zenger—Pump-It-Up Award; and Madi Spainhower and Myrika Martin—Most Valuable Player Awards.
