GARDENS THAT
CULTIVATE HARMONY IN A COMMUNITY
Community gardeners are a lovable lot. Working, weeding, watering
and planting for the good of all is an idea that appeals to
me. ... Emerson estimates there are at least 20 community gardens
in Utah, all started by people passionate about gardening. In
Logan, it was a physician who noticed a swath of unused land
at the edge of Logan Regional Hospital's property. With the
help of the Utah State University Extension Service, Logan's
community garden has exploded and its keepers grow a bounty
of fruits and vegetables. The garden, just north of the helicopter
landing pad, offers something pleasant and hopeful for often-anxious
patients and their families. (Salt Lake Tribune, 11/12/03) Click

THE LONG WINTER'S
NAP, IT'S TIME TO WINTERIZE YOUR YARD AND GARDEN
The snow briefly covered our sins. Now, chores left undone
during the long, warm fall have emerged from the frozen blanket
in a wet, gooey mess. With perhaps a brief reprieve from the
white stuff, we have time to make things right in the yard and
garden. "Talk to the trees. They didn't get the message
any better than we did," said Wade Bitner, Utah State University
extension horticulturist. (Salt Lake Tribune, 11/12/03) Click

6TH DEER TESTS
POSITIVE FOR DISEASE
A deer taken during the rifle hunt last month has tested positive
for chronic wasting disease, bringing to six the total number
of cases discovered in Utah over the past year. The mature buck
was taken on the LaSal Mountains east of Moab. This is the third
deer found with CWD in the LaSal range. ... Game officials have
notified the hunter of the lab results. Tests are being done
at Utah State University. (Deseret Morning News, 11/12/03) Click

AN UNVEILING WITH
HONOR: HUNDREDS GATHER TO DEDICATE USU’S NEW VETERANS
MEMORIAL
Early in Tuesday's service to dedicate the new Veterans Memorial
at Utah State University, U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Barney Rawlings
talked about the need to pass the torch from generation to generation.
He talked about the veterans on hand who served the country
in conflicts from World War II to recent operations in the Middle
East. He talked about the USU Air Force ROTC cadets, a group
of whom came up with the idea for the monument. (Herald Journal,
