pumpkin pointers When selecting a pumpkin to carve, choose one which is light-colored. It will be softer and easier to cut. Apply a light coating of petroleum jelly to the sliced areas of the flesh. It will prevent Edges from drying out and make the pumpkin last longer. If the jack-o-lantern begins to shrivel, revive it by soaking in a bucket of water overnight. did you know? Utah was the 45th state admitted to statehood. The state bird is the Sea Gull.

Here are some benefits to a good walking program:

* Reduced stress, anxiety, and depression



* Decreased risk of heart attack, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and stroke



* Decreased risk of developing type 2 diabetes



* Increased calorie expenditure and weight maintenance



* Reduced risk of injury

Spend roughly five minutes walking slowly to help warm up your muscles and decrease your risk of injury. After warming up, stretch your muscles for about five minutes. Do each stretch for ten to 30 seconds. passports If you travel, be aware the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents now have authority to search laptops, flash drives, and other electronic equipment without any suspicion of illegal activity. This new policy, announced in July, applies equally to foreigners and Americans. Agents can detain any of the devices for as long as they deem necessary, but permanent seizure requires probable cause of illegal activity. a DAY O F CARING We want to give a special thanks to all of those who attended MHTN’s day of caring at the Utah Food Bank.
