It is important to know how to spot fleas and treat them. To check for fleas, examine if there is any movement in your cat's fur. Fleas further cause irritation to the pet. They can jump from the pet to your body or house items.
Use a flea comb on the cat and comb the whole body to check on fleas. If the cat is infested, you should deep the comb in a mixture of water and detergent and use on the creature. The comb lessens the irritations and removes the adult fleas.
Flea elimination approaches
i) Treatment products
These are convenient and work best when applied on the body of the pet. Application products work better than other method of treatment. They are available online and are also obtainable from the vet. They come with advice on where to apply the product. In addition, read instructions on the frequency of use and amount to apply.
There are solutions that do not work on cats and the safety of the product needs consideration first. Cat treatment products should contain ingredients such as fipronil, imidacloprid or selamectin. Some products go an extra mile to prevent re-infiltration. The best dog flea treatment is one that you know that works from friends or family.
ii) Prescription
Medication works with other methods of treatment to eradicate fleas.They are majorly monthly treatments and the drugs contain lufenuron. The compounds are mixed with cat food or administered as injections. They hinder the reproduction of adult fleas. There is also a tablet that kills fleas in 30 minutes called Capstar. It however lasts in the pest's body for a short time.
iii) Treat the home
Fleas reproduce rapidly. Their eggs and larvae hide in corners of the house and on the carpet. You need to vacuum the house daily to reduce on their numbers. Clean the couch, carpet and make sure to cover all areas. Empty the dirt into the trash outside as soon as you finish. The vacuum sucks out the eggs too.
iv) Clean fabric
Give a weekly wash to the beddings, covers and any materials that the pet plays with. Wash with hot water and detergent for effective flea removal.
v) Fleas that refuse to die
Severe measures are available to deal with stubborn fleas. Clear the room of all pets and individuals. Use flea spray on all areas. The most operational sprays contain methoprene or pyriproxyfen. There are also less toxic sprays like natural citrus spray and other natural treatments. Let the sections dry before returning to the house.
vi) Specialist
Call an exterminator if the fleas persist after trying other procedures. Their charges are based on the area and extent of invasion. Practitioners have better knowledge of fleas and do a thorough job.
What to note
There are additional treatment plans such as flea shampoos, collars etc. Consider starting with mild solutions, and then advance to more serious treatments. There are also natural ways out that are more pocket friendly and easy to engage.
Flea barriers protect the pet from fleas. While administering treatment, ensure all your pets go through the program. The extent of flea infestations does not stand a chance against the methods available. Their numbers should therefore not scare you.

On Nov. 13, at 7:30 pm, the public is invited to hear four local readers present a dramatic rendition of Miriam Murphy's poem "Keenings on an Intermezzo of Time," a poem Miriam wrote about the men who lost their lives in the 1924 Castle Gate Mining Disaster.
The reading will take place at Templeton Studios in Spring Glen (3272 N. 2000 W.) Karen Jobe Templeton will also unveil her portrait sculpture of Miriam that evening.
Miriam B. Murphy, a Salt Lake native, born in 1933, wrote the poem several years ago when she worked at the Utah State Historical Society and discovered a large archive available on the Castle Gate mining tragedy, one of the worst in coal mining history, where 172 men lost their lives.
Saddened by the detailed accounts of the miners' widows, recorded by a social worker hired by the state, Miriam began to envision a narrative poem incorporating many of their stories, along with a listing of those who died in the terrible event.
"I could never have written the poem without this archive and the emotional immediacy recorded therein," she said.
Since then, the 15 page poem has been anthologized in A Great and Peculiar Beauty, a collection of Utah poets and in The Green Light that Linger, a book of poetry by Miriam published by City Art Press in Salt Lake in 1999. The poem has also been performed by many groups around the state because it touches those who have lost miners in their families, or who have a relationship to miners still working in the mines.
Miriam lives in Salt Lake City and will be present at the event. Miriam is surprised that there is this celebration in her honor. However, she is not surprised that the people of Carbon County are doing it. She has a special connection to Carbon County, as through her job, she visited many of Price's historical areas, and since has made several friends in Price.
Miriam completed her B.A. degree in English in 1956. She was editor of the Daily Utah Chronicle in her senior year. She worked in advertising in Salt Lake, New York, and San Francisco. She married William Hunt Murphy in SF, and they had one son, Bill. Later divorced, Miriam returned to Salt Lake with her son and felt very lucky to find editorial work with the Utah State Historical Society.

Indians move
up to Class 2A
S-E Sports Editor
Replicating last season's 15-12 record and a Sweet 16 finish in Class 1A will be tough for the Colville High boy's basketball team. For one thing, the Indians are playing up and are back in the 2A Great Northern League.
The Indians can only dream about being back where they belong—in 1A…at least for the next two seasons.
CHS also lost two-thirds of a rugged front line when seniors Alex Pond (6-5) and J.R. Henry (6-6) graduated. That kind of size and athleticism will be tough to replace.
While the Indians can't replicate that kind of size this winter, they do have the most highly recruited collegiate basketball prospect since the days of Charlie Yankus back in the 70s (anybody remember Yankus playing for a high-flying University of Montana team led by the Richardson boys—M.R. and M.J.?).
Junior 6-9 post Matt Hubbard, returns as the Indians' leading scorer and rebounder—and easily the GNL's most highly recruited player.
An elite player
CHS head coach John Foulkes said that Hubbard, who plays on elite national AAU teams in the off-season, has improved his overall game. There is no question that Hubbard is the best post player in the GNL and likely the league's best player period. How that will translate in the win/loss column at this juncture is anybody's guess.
It's a given that Hubbard will get plenty of attention and double teams from opposing defenses.
"Matt's game has improved," Foulkes said last week before a practice session. "He has matured quite a bit and physically, has really developed. His all-around game is just better."
While Hubbard mostly played down low on the block the past two seasons in the Northeast A League, look for Hubbard to move his game outside when given the opportunity this season.
He has also been Colville's best outside shooter the past two seasons.
"We are going to have to be creative in how we get Matt involved," Foulkes said.
It would help if a Colville High team that hasn't shot well from the perimeter in several seasons can do a little more of that this winter, with their guards. That would take some pressure off Hubbard.
"At this juncture, I'd like to say we're more experienced at guard," Foulkes said, adding that with the exception of Hubbard, the Indians are woefully short by 2A standards.
Matt Hubbard, 6-9 junior post. Hubbard led the Indians in scoring as a freshman and sophomore. That certainly won't change this season. But the competition level will certainly be more rigorous than it was in the NEA. Hubbard has improved his face up game appreciably "and can certainly put the ball on the floor," according to Foulkes. Hubbard has put more time into basketball (high level AAU basketball) than any player in CHS history. It isn't even close. His game is still evolving—and so is the interest from college programs. No, he hasn't committed to a college program yet.
Nevin Thompson, 6-1 senior swingman. Athletic player who can score and will have to. First-year varsity player who is a potential starter. Good leaper, but according to his coach, hasn't put in a lot of time to develop his skills. "Nevin took his sophomore year off and is catching up," Foulkes said.
Austin Hegney, 6-3 senior. Up from the CHS junior varsity, Hegney will provide some bulk and post defense for the Indians.
Tevyn Holling, 6-1 senior guard who played significant minutes with his identical twin brother, Lukyn, last winter. Good shooter and has improved his quickness.
Lukyn Holling, 6-1 senior guard. Unfortunately, this Holling twin won't be available until at least January. He broke a leg playing fall basketball. Like his brother, Tevyn, he's a solid all-around player who loves the game and shoots well.
Jay Shoemaker, 5-10 senior guard who returns to the starting point guard position. A good athlete who will need to improve his scoring for the Indians this season.
Omar Khater, 6-2 player in his third year on the varsity. Will provide experience inside, rebounding and scoring.
Justin Wolfrum, 6-3 junior and the son of CHS assistant coach, Shannon Wolfrum. Versatile player who can play several positions. A "long" defender who can play guard or post.
Sam Artzis, 5-8 sophomore point guard. Up from the Colville junior varsity. Solid ball-handler and shooter.
Austin Maddox, 5-11 senior. Good team player up from last year's junior varsity.
Hayden Dahl, 6-0 senior guard. A "consummate team guy and teammate," according to Foulkes. "He loves the game and will do whatever we need him to do."
Zach Shoemaker, 5-11 junior guard who could swing between varsity and junior varsity teams. Like Khater, Maddox, and Hegney, played this fall on the CHS football team. Has a knack for the ball, according to Foulkes.
Foulkes concedes that he doesn't know much about the GNL "and where we might stack up."
But Foulkes has certainly been around long enough to know that some programs around the GNL like to ratchet up the defensive pressure.
"We have got to take care of the ball and we have to defend," Foulkes said. "We aren't blessed with a lot of team speed.
"This league is definitely tougher (than the NEA). We know how tough and competitive it was (three seasons ago). There is some good individual talent in the league…we are just trying to be competitive. We really don't know how we stack up yet."

disappearing post? Tanzania Blackburn and Espresso Guatelope
Hmmm .... I posted about this weeks roasts, the Tanazania Blackburn Estate AA and the special espresso blend I did, Guatelope. But the post seems to have disappeared into the ether. The Tanzania was very juicy, lighter in body than I expected, but appropriately so. You can catch the Kenya-esque hints in there, the dark fruit, berry, black currant, slightly winey, sweet. The Guatelope was a special blend with the focus on flavor and sweetness, not body and mouthfeel. It may seem a little thin, but after 4 days we found it to be pleasantly syrupy. It is 40% El Salvador Mauritania, 40% Guatemala San Jose Ocana and 20% Kenya French Mission Bourbon. So actually it is an all-bourbon blend! We are enjoying it here immensely, pulling shots on the Andreja.

UTVs and ATVs travel down the street during the Marysvale Jamboree held last week.
Deciding which kind of machine to buy to ride in the wilds of Utah can often be a problem for some people. Before three and four wheel ATVs the choices were very limited. Jeeps, Baha Buggies or dirt bikes were what people usually took out.
Today the sport of off-road riding has exploded and no where more than Utah can one find so many places to go and so many ways to get there.
While some still prefer larger four wheel vehicles, the side-by-sides that many manufacturers are building are making a big dent in the number of those in four wheel drive trucks and SUVs on trails.
And where dirt bikes used to roam in large numbers, the standard four wheel ATV has become the common form of transportation.
As I watched off road motorsports for years, the transition has been phenomenal. So many of the two wheel riders of 20 or 30 years ago now ride the four wheel machines, it is almost amazing.
While a lot of young people love the machines too, what has happened is that the baby boomers who once dominated the trails with YZs, DTs, KXs and Elsinores are finding the four wheels to be more to their liking. And unlike the heyday of Japanese motorcycles dominating the numbers in the two wheel machines (with apologies to KTM, Husqvarna, Bultaco and many others) many four wheelers and side-by-sides are built in North America today.
Question arise from many getting into the market though about which to purchase. Some families have both, but for many this is not only impossible initial cost wise, but also logistically.
The differences between the two kinds of machines are striking, yet there are similarities, particularly that of having fun in the outdoors.
The side by side grew out of the early concept of the Baha Buggy that so many people built and bought during the 1960s and 70s. However that was more an influence than the concept. For much of the 20th century golfers had been riding in golf carts, either electric or gas powered. In addition many maintenance organizations had three and four wheel carts they used for work purposes. These often had bench seats and could accommodate more than one person. Usually they had beds on them to carry tools or materials too. Some of the most well known ones were built by a company named Cushman.
Soon many of these kinds of vehicles moved beyond the workplace and into the play place. One group of dirt bike enthusiasts I used to ride with in the 70s was a family in which the father/grandfather owned what we all called the "Hootenany." I can't even recall what brand that machine was, but it was a three wheeled utility vehicle and we often used it as a base out on the trail. I remember when I broke my collar bone in a fall off of my Elsinore in 1976, the next week I was riding around in that following my friends with the patriarch of the family at the wheel. At that time and for some time after I never saw another machine like that used for recreation.
Then came along some small four wheeled sand buggies built I believe by Honda. Those were billed as for kids, but they were more like fast go-carts with wide tires and suspension that could take the bumps (well at least theoretically).
In early part of the last decade manufacturers began to build side-by-sides as not just a machine that can be used for utility work, but for real fun. The movement began by adapting those utility machines, but has now moved into machines that do everything from hauling logs rocks and dirt to those that are made to race right out of the box.
Side-by-sides (UTVs as they are now called too) come in all colors and configurations. While not all manufacturers who make regular ATVs make them, most do. Some have very limited versions (largely workhorses or ones that will carry a lot of people) while others produce a who range of machines.
The most popular machines are the ones that seat two people. They are generally short and often meet the 50 inch rule (some trails only allow machines under 50 inches to travel on them). At the recent UTV Jamboree in Marysvale on the Paiute Trail system, the vast majority of UTVs were of this kind.
However, four seaters under 50 inches have now been developed as well. And some machines that are a little wider have seat belts for up to six people.
These latter machines are often purchase by those with children who either aren't old enough to ride ATVs yet or because of the expense of separate machines, are more affordable.
As with most machines, engine size has to do with performance and the cost of buying one as well. UTV engine sizes vary from 450 to 1000 cc machines. More power with larger engines are certainly coming in the future, with a few manufacturers already working in that realm with some stock machines.
The price of purchasing a UTV has a large range, depending on the kind, equipment and options. The least expensive type are the utility machines with usually only two seats and a dump or solid bed in the back. Some of the machines that are bigger that carry a lot of passengers are also on the lower end of the costs scale. Interestingly, it seems, the narrower the machine, and often the smaller it is, the more it seems to cost. Prices range from the basic models of a line of machines from around $10,000 to as much as $23,000 for a tricked out with options factory unit.
At least one company is also manufacturing a "mini" UTV now that can be driven by children under 16.
On a few special models use two cycle engines. Most have four cycle engines like a car.
ATVs are a very different animal than a UTV. A UTV allows riders to sit alongside the driver and can sometimes accommodate more than two people. Most ATVs are only built for one person, although a few models are actually manufactured for two.
The truth, however, is that most people ignore this fact. Despite the warnings right on the machines not to ride anyone, literally all machines carry two people at least some of the time. The exception, generally are the sport machines which usually don't have a seat that will accommodate two people.
ATVs came into being in 1970 when Honda started building three wheel machines, (the ATC 90) largely using engines from their successful line of motorcycles. The balloon tires proved a hit and took the place of complicated suspensions on motorcycles at the time. These proved popular and soon other manufacturers were doing the same. Honda really had much of the lock on the market so other models were fewer and farther in between. However there was a problem.
The three wheelers, meant to be more stable than a motorcycle, weren't. They often crashed and tipped over causing a lot of injuries and some deaths. That was nothing new to the cycle world, but for some the numbers became to big. In 1981, Suzuki came out with a 125 cc machine that offered four wheels. Slow selling at first the sales took off and soon other manufacturers followed suit. The three wheeler disappeared from their lines (the last ones were built as late as 1987), although a few can be seen today still riding around trails, small towns and as utility machines for farmers and ranchers.
The four wheeled ATVs of today are often also fitted with "trunks" that allow the rider to store materials in the back out of the elements and dust. These trucks often come with "lounging seats" which are officially supposed to be used for the rider to sit back on when they are stopped to have a drink or eat lunch. However almost everyone uses them as a riding compartment for other riders or even animals such as dogs and cats. This is despite the fact that all of them come with written warnings not to use that addition to the ATV as a riding seat.
For some the UTV is like driving a car while the ATV is like riding a motorcycle. While both points of view are true, there are certainly differences between them. UTVs are smaller than the smallest of cars, are lighter and can handle terrain that cars near that size could never bear.
While the rider straddles and ATV much like a motorcycle, the balancing and way to ride them on certain kinds of terrain is almost completely different, in fact sometimes opposite.
ATVs can come in a variety of engine sizes. Small ATVs can have as low as 50 cc engines on them (meant for kids). Adult rider models can have up to 1000 cc engines that produce 80-90 horsepower in stock configuration.
Some sport ATVs also have two cycle engines. These are generally meant for racing and speed.
The price range for new ATVs can go from around the mid $3000 range to upwards of $15,000 for a large 1000 cc machine, depending on options and other equipment.
If one had an unlimited pocketbook it would be easy to say to a family "buy one large UTV and a couple of ATVs." But particularly when buying new, the range of costs can be extremely high.
And the cost of buying a machine is only one consideration. Here is a list of things to consider.
â¢For a family with small children (under 8 years old) a four seat UTV might be the safest buy. With helmets on and strapped into seats built to hold them, these machines are much safer than riding those same children on the back of an ATV. That doesn't mean the sport is without risk, but a roll cage around the kids and that seat belt are added protection in the case of an accident.
â¢Children can ride ATVs that are the right size for them on public land if they are 8 to 16 years old and have passed a state test on the internet. That means however that the parent must closely supervise them as they learn to ride and when they are riding.
â¢All children under 16 must wear a helmet whether in a UTV or on an ATV. This is an additional cost that must be considered when buying a machine. Helmets also do not last forever. Once someone lands on their head with one, they should be discarded because their structure could well be weakened.
â¢Consider how you will haul the machines to places you want to go. One ATV will usually fit in the back of a regular pick up truck. To put it in you will need to buy ramps (boards work, but can be dangerous) and straps for tying down the machine are a necessity (another cost). More than one will require either a rack on the bed of the truck, a flatbed truck bed or a trailer. If you want to haul more than two ATVs of standard size you also often need more than a standard car to pull that trailer. Trailers can be pricey, and installed hitches to haul them also need to be considered in the budget.
For a UTV, only large pickup beds can accommodate them and stronger ramps (this time not boards at all) will be needed to load them.
A mixture of machines will also require more hauling apparatus. Many people also like to take the machines camping and they may already be pulling a trailer to stay in so the that means additional units to haul the "toys."
Many of those who use ATV pull camp trailers and an ATV/UTV trailer. This requires the right vehicle (usually a large SUV or heave duty truck) and the ability to drive it. State law also only allows the length of any units hooked together for such purposes to be under 65 feet long.
â¢Cost of machines. In the cast of a tricked out UTV one can buy three or four standard ATVs for the price of one of these. However, big ATVs with big engines and lots of options can actually exceed the price of many UTVs. Its all a matter of setting a budget, understanding what you need (as opposed to what you would like to have) and finding good deals. Some dealers throw in extra value items such as a helmet, a trunk box, or other items.
One thing to remember to. Like any vehicle the cost of owning these machines never stops. You will have to pay sales tax and licensing fees. Off road vehicles must be licensed each year, so put that in the budget too. And good maintenance is a must. Dealers can provide that for you, or you can do some of it yourself, but the costs are still there. Maintenance on an ATV or a UTV is every bit as important as it is on the car you drive to work each day.
Also plan on things getting broken at times. It is the nature of the beast that things will not only wear out but on the trail where trees stick out, rocks poke up and cliffs appear quickly there are times when damage happens.
Buying a machine can be fun and the riding time spent with people you love is priceless. Kids love ATV/UTVs and few adults, once they have ridden one, can resist getting on one again. It is a great sport.
Just do it in safety and follow the rules of the trail to keep riding areas open to all who enjoy the thrill of the air in their face and dust on their boots.
