People are often confused about the differences between the cold and the flu, and whether a flu vaccination will prevent them from getting ill throughout the winter. A cold and the flu have many of the same traits, however, there are some significant differences. Colds are caused by more than 100 different viruses. A cold is generally mild and often of-ten starts with you feeling tired, sneezing and having a runny nose. You may not have a fever or you may run a low fever (1-2 degrees higher than usual). You may also have muscle aches, a scratchy or sore throat, watery eyes and a headache. "The Flu" is a viral infection infec-tion in the nose, throat and lungs caused by the influenza virus. The flu usually starts suddenly and hits hard. You feel weak and tired, have a fever (usually over 102F.), dry cough, a runny nose, chills, muscle aches, severe headache, eye pain and a sore throat. It usually takes .4 or call us at 801 .489.4800. longer to get over the flu than a cold. Most people feel better after 1-2 weeks, but for some people the flu leads to serious and eyen life-threatening illnesses, ill-nesses, such as pneumonia. Each year approximately 10-20 of Americans get the flu; about 130,000 people go to the hospital with the flue and 20,000 people die because of the flu and its complications. There is no cure for a cold or flue. Antibiotics don't help, there are some things that can help you feel better. You should try resting, avoiding avoid-ing cigarette smoke, drinking plenty of fluids, using throat lozenges or sprays, taking analgesics (acetaminophen, ibuprofen) or decongestants (pseudoephedrine). You should call your doctor if you have a cold that lasts more man 10 days, earache, pain in your face or forehead, a temperature tempera-ture above 102F, shortness . of breath or wheezing, symptoms symp-toms that won't go away or if you have questions or concerns about your illness.

Babbitt Staff Writer Ed Smart hopes the national na-tional child-abduction alert system he helped promote will deter people from kidnapping kid-napping children because they know the public will be watching. ; "It is my great hope, you know, that abductions overall over-all will be reduced," Smart said. Smart and his wife Lois were in Springville on Thursday Thurs-day evening to receive the Spirit of Heritage Award from Heritage Schools Inc., a Provo residential treatment center for adolescents. The award honored the Smart family for helping establish national children s protection protec-tion legislation, including the nationwide Amber Alert System. The Smarts became advocates of the legislation after the abduction of their daughter, Elizabeth, from their home on June 5, 2002. The Amber Alert System transmits information about abducted children quickly through television, radio and highway signs. The award was presented by Jerry Spanos, chief executive execu-tive officer and founder of Heritage Schools Inc., during dur-ing a community forum at the corporate offices of Neways International in Springville.
