Phone 789-3511 Jacque Hobbs AND Eric Petty Your Advertising Representatives Students and staff from Ashley Valley Education Center (AVEC) commemorated the Sept. 11 tragedy by making a large flag which is displayed outside the front doors of the center and having discussions about the event. Teacher Nancy Birchell said some of the discussions focused on how to explain the event to the students' children. "We talked about how united the country was after the attacks in 2001. There was a lot of emo tion on that day. No matter what nationality people were, they felt it was an attack on 'their' country. Now it seems the country is more divided." In conjunction with the discussions dis-cussions about the event itself, class members did writing projects and discussed family emergency preparedness. "We wanted to honor the memory of the people that were affected by the event first hand," said Birchell. "All of us were affected, but not like those in New York." Student Silvia Navarro agreed. "We try to remember because it was an impact to our country and ourselves. We can remember all the people and tell our children so that they can learn about it and remember remem-ber it too." Denise Klakken, another student at AVEC said, "We're not invincible. It's important to remember so it doesn't happen hap-pen again."

Uintah County launches prescription drug discount card Uintah County launched a discount card program to help consumers cope with the high price of prescription drugs. The county is making free prescription pre-scription drug discount cards available under a program sponsored by the National Association of Counties (NACo) that offers average savings of 20 percent off the retail price of commonly prescribed drugs. Some county residents say the cards are of little value. "My drugist told me that it was no good," said Aloma Rios, during commission meeting this week. "They may not be if you are already covered by insurance," said McKea. The cards may be used by all county residents, regardless of age, income, or existing health coverage, and are accepted at the majority of the county's pharmacies. A national network net-work of more than 57,000 participating par-ticipating retail pharmacies also will honor the NACo prescription pre-scription discount card. "Uintah County is proud to be one of the counties nationwide participating with NACo." said Joe McKea. "The NACo prescription discount card offers significant savings for the uninsured and underin-sured underin-sured residents of our county, Mid SAI0) AlUL W trlHjoSH i i i i WEST NILE VIRUS ALERT This is the peak time of the 2006 season when the greatest great-est possibility exists for humans to be infected with mosquito-borne West Nile Virus.
