In addition to the already required Diptheria, Tetanus (Lockjaw). Pertussis (Whooping Cough). Polio. Measles, Mumps, Rubella (German Measles) and Haemophilus Influenza Type b (hib) vaccines. Utahs school children will now need to be vaccinated against Hepatitis B and receive immunization additional an against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR). The MMR is a three-in-ovaccine. Students of all ages and grades need to be sure that they can provide written documentation that thev have received their second dose of MMR vaccines prior to reporting to school in the fall of 1999. The Hepatitis B vaccination requirement applies only to new students who are enrolling in kindergarten. Parents will need to plan ahead for this vaccine as it requires a series of three vaccinations across at least a four month period. Students who fail to meet these requirements may be excluded from attending school for their own protection as well as for the protection of the other students. Parents may choose to file an immunization exemption declaration with the Central Utah Public Health Department. Students who are under exemption status may be excluded from school and school activities as a disease control measure.

Price $.40 Number 29 taMm worries sfami Y2!& An independent audit of a entity always governmental the with auditing firm begins an opinion on the expressing fund types and die records reviewed. According to Denton Alexander, representing Hawkins Clow-ar- d and Simister (CPA.LC), there are two opinions possible., a qualified and an unqualified opinion. He and L. Joe Nettleton Jr. presented the end result of the audit to commissioners on June 22nd. "In virtually all cases, and in every year we have worked with your countys records prior to this year, we have given an unqualified opinion," said Alexander. "That is not the case this " year. An unqualified opinion is one that certifies that, as far as can be determined by using auditing principles and records available, everything appears to be in good shape. A qualified opinion, said Alexander, means that the auditors have certain criteria that auditors can not be certain about and must offer as a concern. "This audit," said Nettleton. "we are concerned about the Y2K problem which may. or may not, be of concern when we reach Jan. 1, 2000." When computers were first designed, said Nettleton, programmers put the years in as two digits rather than as four. "Date sensitive chips in some computers may recognize the 00 as 1900 rather than as 2000 and " go funny While the county has done all possible to make certain their equipment is not affected, others out there may not have been so diligent. There may be others involved with the county who have not done all they should to assure a smooth transition and to avoid the 00 glitch One big concern said Nettleton. was the medical profession and the heart equipment used by ambulance crews to save lives. If the equipment were to malfunction on Jan. 1. 2000. then the county may be named in any resulting lawsuit. "In giving a qualified opinion. we are recognizing that nobody really does know what is going to happen." said Alexander "We will know on Jan. 1 or 2. and were it not for that, you would wind up with a clean or unqualified opinion, as usual."
