I think what I committed to do and what I have already done suffices to meet the requirements of the ordinance, said Painter. In addition, he said, he had made the proposal and received approval from the council one year before the ordinance was written. The water will be leased to each lot owner and will be done via a covenant which Depletion of flu vaccine supplies will shift flu prevention to commonsense good health practices By Times-New- Myrna Trauntvein s Correspondent Juab County is currently out of flu vaccine at both Nephi Medical Clinic and through the county health department. Phone calls to both the clinic and the health department on Thursday produced the information that all the vaccine is used. There are some doses available for babut those needed by older children and adults have been depleted until new stores become available. The Utah County Health Department is also out. In fact, its nearly impossible to get a flu shot in Utah, which like the rest of the country has used its available supbies ply. Manufacturers made 83 million doses but have run out. By the time the manufacturers can make more, which is a process, the flu season will likely be over. However, in addition to good health practices for those who missed the shot, there is one alternative called FluMist. FluMist, a nasal flu vaccine, is still available through some doctors. The vaccines Web site, www.flumist.com, lets you plug in a ZIP code to see who may still have it. If you get flu symptoms, see your doctor immediately. Some antiviral drugs reduce severity and duration of influenza, but they have to be taken at the onset of influenza to be effective. four-mont- h Dont shake hands, steer clear of people who seem ill and wash your hands with soap and water often.

The irrigation company can enforce it (the irrigation water dedication) but the city cannot, said Bryce Lynn, mayor.

Pat Painter has been doing this (leasing the water to the home owners in his subdivision) for two years now," said Fowkes. It has already been in place for two years. Painter reminded the council that he tied water to each lot in his subdivision before it was a requirement. I didnt have to do it, he said. The fact that it was voluntary' on your part is admirable, but it is not enforceable," said Kay. The city may be standing on shaky ground in that regard, and has no rights of enforcement, said Fugal. The irrigation water com- ing from Mona Irrigation Company, though transferred to the city and dedicated to home owners property, still has a certificate of ownership which comes from Mona Irrigation Company. It is the irrigation company which will need to note the proposed sale of water w hich has a stamped certificate and it is the irrigation company which must block the sale.

The masks confine droplets from sneezing or coughing and should be worn by the sick as long as theyre in doctors waiting rooms and hospitals to avoid spreading the illness to others. The common cold, flu, whooping cough, chicken pox, measles, rubella and SARs are all spread by droplet con- tamination. The most recent update, Data current through 12092003, on the Utah Department of Health Web site, www.health.utah.gov, indicated that Influenza cases are substantially higher than usual for this time of year. A total of 1,211 laboratory identified cases have been reported in 17 counties. Of these, 388 cases have been type A and two have been type B influenza. The remaining cases (821) were diagnosed by rapid test and are of unknown type and 119 patients (10.2 percent of the total reported) have been hospitalized. The statistics onlv touch 2003 ordinance had some problems. Under that ordi- nance, the water company was in deep trouble. In fact, the way the ordinance is written it violates the law. Mr. Painter has nine people who have been promised water rights. He can never cut them off. If he did he would face a lawsuit and he would lose, said Fugal. As.for the irrigation water dedicated to the property as required by city ordinance, what happens if the yearly assessment fee on the water is not paid to the irrigation lab-verifi- help.. There have been two reported deaths due to influenza and another is under investigation since the last update. Reported influenza cases are assessed to detect the onset of influenza epidemics, but account for only a small proportion of all persons who become ill from influenza.

Laboratory identified includes culture, DFA, and rapid tests. School absenteeism: For the week ending November 29, Utah sentinel schools reported 7.94 percent absenteeism (not all would be from flu). This is higher than the expected value of 5.8 percent. Historically, school absenteeism increased the week of the Thanksgiving Holiday. Officials acknowledge that even people who have had a flu shot may get the flu. Reportedly about one in 12 diagnosed influenza cases involve people who had The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has said the influenza vaccine may have missed one type-strain that seems to be circulating. Even so, flu vaccine offers some protection against it and shortens the duration and lessens the severity of the illness for those who do get flu after being vaccinated. The town will be notiand the city will pay the amount due to prevent the sale of the water dedicated to the lot, said Kay. Unless we own the system, it is not enforceable, fied said Lynn.
