Truth from Youth Contest The Utah Department of Health invites Utah fourth and fifth graders to design radio, TV and billboard ads that will convince other kids to never start using tobacco. The 11th annual Truth From Youth contest tells students Maybe You Should Try Advertising, targeting young people and challenging their anti-tobacco advertising savvy. Since the Truth campaign began in 1999, Utah’s youth smoking rate has dropped by 34 percent. Fourth and fifth grade students may enter Maybe You Should Try Advertising by drawing or writing a billboard, TV or radio ad. Best in show will win $400 and the ad will be professionally produced. Additional prizes include $300 for first place, $200 for second place and $100 for third place in each category. Entries are due by March 6, and more information is available at www.youthagainsttobacco.com. Community Theatre to present ‘Li’l Abner’ Karen Truman The Emery County Community Theater is preparing for their 2009 production “Li’l Abner.” This production is crazy, wild and great fun. L’l Abner originated as a satiric comic strip by Al Capp which ran from 1934 to 1977. I have been surprised to learn that there are not very many young people who know what Li’l Abner is all about; so I decided to write this article to introduce you. Al Capp’s world famous characters have been placed in an upbeat musical extravaganza that is an outstanding show. The show takes place in the hometown of L’l Abner, Dogpatch, USA. What starts out as a calm day down at the fishing hole is quickly interrupted for Abner and his friends when a “Cornpone Meetin” is called in the town square. This means there’s to be “a hideous change in the Dogpatch way of life.” Sure enough, the government has completed a study finding Dogpatch to be “the most unnecessary, no-account” place in the country, thereby calling for evacuation of the town so that atomic testing can be conducted on it. Everyone frantically tries to find a reason why the town should be spared. In the meantime all the young single ladies are preparing for “Sadie Hawkins Day.” What is that, you say? Come and see March 12, 13, 14 and 15, 2009. We will be holding auditions for the play on Nov. 18 -19, at 7 p.m., in the chorus room at Emery High School. For auditions we will require just that you come prepared with a musical number of your choice. There will be more information in the “Commuity Happenings” section of the newspaper. There are some really enjoyable and entertaining parts in this play; such as L’l Abner, Daisy Mae, Mammy Yokum, Marryin’ Sam, Eagle Eye Fleagle, Moonbeam Mcswine, Earthquake McGoon, and many more fun and exciting characters. We need characters and all kinds of help with set creations, painting, make-up, stage crew, etc. Come and join the fun of participating in Community Theater. (Karen Truman will be directing the Emery County Community Theater production of Li’l Abner.)

Volunteers needed in Moab to help rehabilitate wetlands Moab residents are well aware of the October fire that charred about half of the Moab Slough, also known as the Scott M. Matheson Wetlands Preserve, an important sanctuary for birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles and fish. The preserve represents one of the most important pieces of riparian bottomland along the Colorado River, and is home to many species of plants and wildlife. Because of its impor- tance as an environmental treasure trove, the preserve was jointly purchased by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and The Nature Conservancy. The recent fire was man-caused, which is a tragedy for native plants, animals and the residents of Moab. Although nature is capable of healing itself over time, the DWR plans to give nature a head start by planting tree and shrub seedlings on Nov. 22. Seedlings, tools, personnel and equipment are being organized for the event. The only factor limiting the magnitude of what can be accomplished, is the number of persons on the ground. For that reason, the DWR is calling for volunteers to help with this project. We are looking for individuals, club members, organizations, scouts, church groups and anyone else with a sense of duty to their community and environment. Please set next Saturday aside to help with this important effort. Interested persons and groups should meet at the Nature Conservancy trailhead, situated on the south end of the preserve, just off the Kane Creek Road. Work will begin at 9 a.m. and conclude at 1 p.m. Participants should bring work gloves, a shovel, beverages and lunch.

You’re always game for fun, and yet there’s simply too much going on this week. It’s potentially unsettling, but the remedy is simple: Reduce the number of variables. Rule out sev- eral options. Narrow your focus to only your tip-top priorities, and suddenly you’ll feel, and be, in complete control of your life. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Whatever your circumstances, it feels as though you’ve been in similar straits before. You gain wis- dom as you remember past times, how you reacted and what the outcome was. You remain reasonable and cool, and so you see solutions. Friday brings the chance for fantastic fun with your closest people. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). New characters come into your world, and you’ll have to make quick decisions about how far to let them in. It’s not your nature to be guarded; however, it benefits you to protect your time and energy now as it sets the right tone. You will command respect and prevent being taken for Jones Jones granted in the future. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). People around you have no hidden agenda because they cannot hide what they really want from you -- you’re simply too keen. You ask all of the right questions and are able to get the truth out of anyone. You can use this skill to structure a relationship or deal in such a way that everyone will win. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). You could think ahead and prepare for every scenario, but that’s just not your style. Your way is to believe in your whims and act quickly. Your conviction makes things happen and puts you in the position to control the action instead of being controlled by it. Saturday brings a fun and well-deserved splurge. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Power games and politics are all around, and for the most part you can avoid playing, but not completely. Tuesday you are in a position to offer your mercy. You’ll feel better, but do not expect the other person to be grateful. Instead, immediately turn your attention to finding arrangements of mutual self-interest.
