But now, it is probably too late to make a difference. differ-ence. We have been lulled into potential economic oblivion! We have a similar situation situa-tion in Mapleton City.

The Springville World Folkfest is the product of faith, foresight and hard work on the part of people - mostly volunteers - who had a great vision of an annual cultural exchange based on folk arts. With a format similar to folk festivals popular in Europe, the Springville World Folkfest held its first performances in August Au-gust of 1986 on a wooden stage constructed over home plate at a Springville baseball field.

The ordinance is aimed posure to secondhand smoke,, and we say THANK YOU! Springville City is leading out with this ordinance. They are the first in Utah County to approve the ban. It is hoped that the county wide ordinance. The ordinance adopted prohibits smoking in public parks within 25 feet of bus stops and within 50 feet of large gatherings, except where the area falls on private property. Violation of the ordinance could bring a $25 fine or a warning as determined by law enforcement. Utah has been smoke-free - inside since January ' 1995. It will be nice to be smoke-free - outside - in public places in Springville. Studies have shown that second-hand smoke causes illness ill-ness in healthy individuals and there is no safe level of exposure to tobacco smoke. In 1993 the US. Environmental Protection Agency classified clas-sified environmental tobacco smoke as a group A carcinogen, carcin-ogen, among the most toxic substances known to cause cancer in humans. There have been numerous studies on the effects of tobacco smoke - none good. The indoor ban on smoking requires owners, agents or operators to enforce the law by asking persons to extinguish ex-tinguish any lighted tobacco products where smoking is prohibited. The outdoor ban in public places now in force In Springville is a little quire citizens who see persons smoking in non-designat ed areas to remind them of There is now a long list of United States and around the world that prohibit smoking smok-ing in public places and indoor settings. This is not a mor al or religious issue. It is a health issue, plain and simple. Over a thousand people in Utah die each year as a result re-sult of their own smoking. A few hundred adults, chil dren and babies die from exposure to secondhand smoke. Anything we can do to make that second number less is good. Springville has jumped on the list of several cities and counties with a ban on smoking in outdoor public places. We hope that the whole state will follow.
