Show Page Two - The Springville Herald - August 14, 1996 EDITORIAL It just makes sense Parents, it is time to immunize your children. It is always time to do this, but right before school starts is a good time to remember to do it and get it done. The Springville Kiwanis Club is sponsoring an immunization clinic here on Friday. Shots are only $3, and if you can't afford to pay, they are free. - ' ' How much easier can it get. All you have to do is take your children and their immunization history- information to Ream's parking lot and get their shots. , It is hard to understand, but some parents fear shots. They listen to right-wing voices that, say immunization programs are violating parental rights. No Way, they are for our protection. Many young parents do not pay attention to information. They : don't read newspapers Or watch or listen to information programs. They don't seem to know that shots are important for their kids. Or they don't know where to take their children for their shots. Kids are vulnerable to disease. Childhood disease is not extinct. A recent putbreak of measles in Utah is a prime example of that. If those kids had been immunized, that would not have happened. hap-pened. . Statistics say that as many as half of all children have not been properly immunized. Immunization levels have fallen off dramatically dramat-ically over what they were even a decade ago. The reason might be that young parents now days did not suffer childhood disease because they had their shots. So they think that there isn't such a thing any more. They only need to have seen someone with polio or whooping cough to understand. Immunization programs save lives. Get your children off to a good start. Visit the "Slug-the-Bug" Children's Mobile Immunization Immuniza-tion unit at Reams Friday from 4 to 7 p.m. There is no good excuse for not immunizing. Volunteers needed Sat. to help clean up Hobble Creek Canyon Families, individuals and groups are encouraged to volunteer volun-teer their time and energy Saturday, Satur-day, August 17, in an effort to cleanup Hobble Creek Canyon from Jolley's Ranch to Balsam Campground.

Those who can participate Thief in the night Dear Editor: Like a thief in the night, Department De-partment of Interior Secretary Bruce Babbit was on he cusp of sending "a small team of career professionals" into Utah to construct con-struct a new BLM wilderness recommendation over a period of six months. Only then would the report generated by Babbitt's environmental SWAT Team be made available to the public to "satisfy" National Environmental Policy Act requirements for public involvement. Presumably the SWAT Team report would then become the Clinton Administration's new recommendation to congress for federal wilderness lock-ups in the State of Utah. Fortunately, Babbitt's Bab-bitt's intended raid on Utah and his callous and elitist disregard for the vast expense and human effort that has been expended on the Utah wilderness issue over the past 15 years was discovered (USPS 51 3-060) Published Weekly by Art City Publishing Co., Inc. 161 South Main Street Springville, Utah 84663.'.

Perhaps it is time to remind the public what Babbit said in 1993 shortly after his confirmation confirma-tion as Secretary of Interior by the U.S. Senate. Babbit said, "The wilderness issue is really played out between a (state congressional) con-gressional) delegation and a governor. " Mind your own words Mr. Babbit.

J'-'", ,';' " Un response to Booth Wallen-. tine's somewhat biased account of the Utah BLM Wilderness process, pro-cess, 'I would like, to offer some rebuttals. .First, I do agree with Wallentine that the BLM was remiss in its first attempt at examining ex-amining Wilderness but the first attempt wasn't a total washout. Existing areas will be re-evaluat-. ed with new criteria, and additional addi-tional areas will be evaluated for qualification. It seems government govern-ment can't do it right the first time and always needs to rehash issues that are politically challenging. chal-lenging. Secondly, people who are going to evaluate Wilderness are not just "recreation people." The team is composed of experienced biologists, economists, visual experts, archaeologists and historians. histo-rians. It is also absurd to believe that Secretary Babbitt is circumventing circum-venting the National Environmental Environmen-tal Policy Act (NEPA). Under NEPA and the Federal Land Prepare by Jackie Billings The next CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) class will begin on September 26 and will be held each Thursday at 7:30 a.m. The cost is $20 which covers all materials and supplies. . The training program is for those who want to learn how. to help themselves, their family and those in their neighborhood in time of emergency. The classes teach basic preparedness, light fire suppression, medical services, servic-es, search and rescue and conclude con-clude with disaster psychology. There is a final "hands on" exercise exer-cise that reviews each concept Education The Brigham Young University Universi-ty Board of Trustees has approved ap-proved the broadcast of several lectures during Campus Education Educa-tion Week through Friday (August (Au-gust 19-23).

Designation of Wilderness Wilder-ness is preserving our national heritage by maintaining the integrity integ-rity of wetlands, forests and deserts ecosystems. Maintaining large areas of wilderness are necessary for sustained yields of wildlife, clean water and air. For example, large wilderness tracts are source areas for migrating waterfowl, big game and non-game non-game species. Wildlife needs these large refuges to reproduce and successfully colonize new and existing habitats. For instance, in-stance, we know what development develop-ment along the Wasatch Front is doing to deer winter range, duck for emergencies taught in the classroom. We invite everyone to enroll and participate. We would like to have a CERT person in every neighborhood in our city. Call Avona Wright to enroll, 489-4718. 489-4718. We have had a great amount of ash fallout from our surrounding surround-ing -fires. Many people are allergic aller-gic to this type of air pollution. One way to help lessen the impact im-pact is to "shelter in place." This means to stay in your home and do the. following: Close all windows win-dows and doors; turn off all fans, heating and air conditioners; close the fireplace damper; go to Week lectures on TV will address subjects from self-improvement self-improvement and family relations to art, history and science. The lectures offer a variety of topics from "How to Study the Scriptures" to getting the most from your memory to . having great family reunions. Those presenting the lectures comprise some of CES and BYU's finest teachers, including Elder Henry B. Eyring of the Quorum of the Twelve and Robert Rob-ert L. Millet, dean of Religious Education. Along with the featured lectures, lec-tures, Campus Education Week will also sponsor fine arts performances perfor-mances each night in the Harris Fine Arts Center.

Allan, who has been the coordinator for the Springville City Industrial Park since 1990, reviewed the progress of the park. Located on what used' to be the city pasture, development began in the mid-1970s when ValTek International, a valve manufacturer manufac-turer known worldwide, located there, followed by Murdock Cabinets. Since that time the progress has been steady and today there are nearly 20 businesses in operation, providing employment employ-ment for about 2,200 people. Stouffers Frozen Foods is the largest establishment, with about 1,000 employees. Industries located in the park make aluminum ladders, package vitamins and herbs, build gun safes, create skin care products and food supplements, concrete hardeners, capsules from cellulose, utility poles, flag poles, utility trailers, "O" rings for airplanes and one company manufacturers customized braces for failing human knees and elbows. The park has a set of covenants requiring each establishment to beautify its surroundings and present a clean, attractive place, something all citizens of Springville can be proud of, concluded Allan. Mayor Delora Bertelsen will be the toastmaster Thursday and. encouraged everyone to bring interested guests to hear, a discussion presented by the Utah Attorney General's Office about Utah gangs. PAGE populations and upland game species. Fragmentation of habitat makes population recovery slow, and sometimes impossible leading to the familiar cry of "Hey, hunting and fishing ain't what it used to be." There is a certain paranoia about Wilderness in Utah and the west. What are we frightened about-being one of the few countries in the world to preserve wild, pristine and magnificently beautiful places for enjoyment by all those who want to participate and generations untold. Yes, we should have areas for people to pull up the recreation vehicle and spend a pleasant weekend strolling stroll-ing the campgrounds and paved paths, but we should also have places for people to exert themselves, them-selves, experience solitude, contemplation con-templation and the exhilaration of wild things and the places they live.
