Show Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues, April 23-26, 2005 The Park Record A-18 Recall round-up planned at Richins Bldg. April 29 WENTWORTH AT S U M M I T C O U N T Y / Before you shirt thinking about summer garage sales, slop and consider the safely of your family. Some bargains can be dangerous or even deadly. This year the Utah Safe Kids campaign will focus on dangerous recalled products. On Friday. April 29, from II a.m. to 2 p.m., recalled products (listed below) may be brought to the Richins Building at 6505 North Landmark Dr., Park Cily, in the auditorium next to the Summit County Library, for disposal. Some of the most common recalled products include; Old cribs with more than 2.5 inches between the slats, or with cutouts on the headboard or foolboard are dangerous because children can get caught between the slats or in the cutouts and strangle. Playpens with mesh sides can strangle young children because of faulty side and lop rails. If left in the "down" position, the rails may form pockets that an infant can roll into and suffocate. Some infant ear seats and carriers have handles or side locks that can break. When this happens, babies fall out and are hurt. Visit www.nhtsa.dot.gov to check for recalls on any car seat. Old baby walkers can fall down stairs. New styles use rubber strips underneath the base that grip the floor and stop walkers from moving. Baby gates can trap children or collapse, allowing kids to fall down stairs or get into unsafe areas. Parents should replace any gate made before 1985 with a newer gate that uses a pressure bar or other fastener a small child cannot push through. Beanbag chairs can choke or suffocate children if opened. In 1996, manufacturers changed their design so thai young children cannot open the zippers and swallow the foam pellets inside. If you have a beanbag chair a child can open, get rid of it. Drawstrings around the neck on children's jackets and sweatshirts can strangle children. Pullout or cut all neck drawstrings on clothing. Do not pass along clothing with drawstrings to thrift stores or to other people. Bunk beds with openings between 3.5 and nine inches in the bed frame and mattress are dangerous. Children can become (rapped and strangle or suffocate. High posLs on bed frames can be dangerous, too, because children can strangle with their clothing or bedding becomes caught on them. Window blind cords can strangle children when they become entangled in the inner cords used to raise the slats.

The Summit County Health Department will be promoting the importance of these vaccines at day care facilities throughout the county for NIIW. NIIW was established 11 years ago by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the ("enters for Disease Control and Prevention to remind parents, health professionals, and the public that children deserve a healthy start by immunizing them against vaccine-preventable diseases. Vaccinating a child according to the immunization schedule protects not only that child but also the entire community. Every day in the United Slates, there are 11.000 children born who need to be fully immunized before two years of age. The 12 diseases that infant immunizations prevent still exist and circulate in many parts of tliu world. For children who are not immune, these diseases can still lead to pneumonia, choking. brain damage, heart problems. liver cancer and blindness. Talk to your child's health care provider or the Summit County Health Department about the childhood immunization schedule. Following it is one of the best ways parents can protect their children's health. The Summit County Health Department can be reached at 615-3910. Park City; (435) 3363234.

Sellers sometimes become emotionally overwhelmed from the pressure and moke expensive mistakes. Here arc some pitfalls to avoid when selling your home. Don't fail to disclose defects in the property. Disclosure laws require you to reveal information about the home systems, including environmental issues, structural problems, homeowner's association rules and restrictions on use of the property. Many buyers will require nn inspection of your property prior tofinalizingthe sale, and problems you moy hope to hide will tend to come to light. Don't make last-minute home improvements thai may not add value. Remodeling takes time, will prolong the work of getting your home ready to show, and won't necessarily please buyers. Don't price your home too high. Your asking price should be within range of comparable homes in the area that have recently sold. Don't choose an agent because they suggest a higher price than others. Finally, don't try to sell your home without help. As an experienced real estate agent I can help relieve your stress by guiding the transaction.
