This affects the piece the health care facility now oc- cupies and the piece they received in the trade, said Brough. The hospital prop- erty should have been rezoned when the facility was built but, because of an oversight, it was not done until now. He said that was compatible with the zone they were located in and did not require a change. Mid-Stat- e Nephi City Council tours new Police Department building By Myrna Trauntvein Times-New- s Correspondent At the conclusion of the city council meeting held on .Tuesday, council members loured the newly opened city police department building. Council members looked ; inside offices and compared the space they were looking at with the cramped quarters Jthe police department had recently occupied. The entire office fit inside the space they have in this new building, one-fourt- h paid Chad Brough, mayor. He said he had watched police officers try to use the cramped space and jockey to iuse a desk for paperwork. Now each officer has his own desk, said Brough. The police department now occupies the building formerly owned by the Juab School District and used as district offices. In fact, the office the superintendent used is now the office of the chief of police. Just a few weeks ago, the police department was jammed into a small office inside the city building. Eventually, said Brough, the area now used for city court and city council meeting will become part of the city library and will allow that service space. City court will be held in the county court room in much-neede- d the county building, said Brough. City council meetings will then be held in the conference room of the police department building. That is the same room the school district used for district board meetings. The new police department building began life as a seminary building for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-daSaints. Jim Wilkey, council member, who is a builder by trade, said he had helped remodel y the seminary building for use as offices by the school district. Now he was touring the facility as part of the city' council.

Anglers can help contain the disease by following a few simple procedures, outlined in the Division of Wildlife Resources Whirling Disease and Utah Trout: What Utah Anglers Need To Know brochure: December 31, 2003 clean your equipment with a strong solution of chlorine bleach or use another set of equipment. If you observe the symptoms of whirling disease in fish (various deformities of the head, twisted spines, a black tail or fish swimming in whirling motions), or if you observe illegal fish stocking, contact your local DWR conservation officer or call the East Canyon Creek (Tributary to Weber River); Beaver Creek (Tributary to Weber River, Near Kamas).

According to information posted on the Utah Department of Health Web site, www.health.utah.gov, influenza is a serious infection caused by a virus. Most often it is referred to as the flu. Influenza is not stomach flu which is vomiting and diarrhea. Influenza is more severe than a cold and comes on very quickly. It is spread through coughing and sneezing. Symptoms may include a fever, headache, sore throat, cough and muscle aches and pains. The influenza season usually occurs between November and March, but may occur earlier or later. It is important to avoid the disease because Influenza causes about 20,000 to 40,000 deaths in the US yearly and can affect anyone--evehealthy people. Influenza is most serious in small children, pregnant women in the second and third trimester, people over the age of 50, and people with chronic disease. The best way to protect yourself and others is through vaccination. By avoiding the flu, you avoid giving it to other people around you. Every October or November, people in the following high risk categories should be vaccinated: Healthy children n 6 to 23 months of age; people over the age of 50; from people of all ages with chronic diseases such as diabetes, asthma, heart disease, or those with suppressed immune systems (such as cancer patients or those with AIDS); those living in long-tercare facilities. Healthcare workers should be vaccinated as should women who will be more than three months pregnant during flu season and children and adolescents, age 6 months to 18 years who are on chronic aspirin therapy. Vaccinations should be received by household Contacts of people at high risk (including children) and those who work in settings where they might transmit influenza to those at high risk such as: Doctors, nurses, and other employees in hospitals and doctors offices, including emergency response workers; employees of nursing homes and long-tercare facilities who have contact with patients or residents; employees of assisted living and other residences for people in high-risgroups; and people who provide home care to those in high-risgroups People in the following k k categories should consider being vaccinated: Anyone who wants to lower his or her chances of getting the flu (the shot can be administered to children as young as 6 months); persons who provide essential community or others in institutional settings (those who reside in dormitories). Flu shots are recommended for pregnant women since pregnancy can increase the risk for flu complications, and pregnant women are more likely to be hospitalized for those complications than women who are not pregnant. Flu shots are recommended for women beyond the first three months of pregnancy during the flu season. Immunizations are recommended if for they have medical problems that increase their risk, such as women who are HIV-positiv- Pregnancy can change a and lung functions. Those changes may increase her flu risk. Influenza vaccine is safe and and will not give you the flu.
