Guy Temple Union Co. Agent I was recently reading the Pennsylvania Woodlands News, which is produced by our Forestry Resources Extension staff at Penn State. It had an interesting article about the relationship of forests and water. I thought in light of the many discussions about the planting and the cutting of trees and the water supply of communities in the valley, it would be an article you would find of inter est. The article follows. Forests are important 19 our water supply. They not only receive rain and snow in upland regions, but also store and clean the water as it infiltrates the forest soil. Forest soils act much like a blotter by filtering micro scopic organisms from the water. In fact, the closer natur al water is to the forest, the cleaner it is which explains why municipal reservoirs are located as close as possible to the forest, collecting water at its cleanest point. The forest also regulates the flow of water. Thanks to trees and woody vegetation, the forest floor becomes an enormous sponge, typically absorbing up to 18 inches of precipitation before gradually releasing it into natural channels and watercourses. In this way, forests slow the volume of rainwater dis charged into streams and rivers immediately after a rain storm or snowfall. That reduces the harmful “peak” dis charge which causes erosion and sedimentation. Not all watersheds are forested. Any higher elevation land that feeds water into creeks and streams is a watershed. But pasture or farmland watersheds don’t clean, store, and regulate water as well as forest soils. Picture the difference between watering your lawn and watering your sidewalk, and you get some idea of the advantages of forested watersheds. Your lawn slowly absorbs the water and holds it as needed; your sidewalk sheds the water in torrents. Much like your lawn, a forest will supply an even flow of water - even in a dry climate with relatively little rainfall. Without the forest, the water would flow all at once after the rain. Forested watersheds can be as small as the valley enve loping a mountain stream or as large as the Mississippi Valley watershed, which covers much of the middle third of the United Slates. But whether a watershed is small or large, they all have one further advantage; they can be managed to regulate water supply. By removing small blocks of tree, for example, forest managers can reduce the amount of precipitation used by the trees themselves. That allows more water to pass pizza party for four. If not, a con solation prize, one personal pan pizza, will be awarded. Dairy farmers organized the contest with Pizza Hut because NEWARK, Del. Parents and teachers who try to motivate children to leant may be doing just the oppostie without realizing it. “For many and often complex reasons, a child can be an undera chiever, unmotivated and discour aged,” says Joy Sparks, University of Delaware State 4-H Program Coordinator. “The two fundamen tal reasons ate fear of failure and feelings of inadequacy.” Some children believe they can not meet the high standards and expectations of patents and teach ers. Instead of challenging or questioning these expectations, children are often intimidated by competition and question their own adequacy, which udermines their sense of self-worth. Parents and teachers have many opportunities throughout the day to encourage children.

Annual production of these cheeses amounts to 76% of the total cheese production in the ng Child To have a profound effect on how children see themselves. “Demonstrate caring,” Sparks advises. “Acknowledge, recog nize and describe the effort child ren put into their work. Focus on the behavior you appreciate rather than imply a child is ‘mote valu able’ or ‘good’ when they achieve or perform to your expectations. “Sarcasm, criticism and nil picking reinforce negative feel ings children may have about themselves,” Sparks adds. “Resist the urge to compare your child with others. This causes undue stress and feelings of inadequacy.” Sparks offers parents and teach ers suggestions to help children value themselves; • Accept and respect each child’s specialness. • Encourage children’s strengths in areas which they do Gel todaji engine technology for John Deere Now you can get “like-new” performance from your old John Deere engine with great values on John Deere Engine Overhaul Kits.
