Book Look 'The Death of Ivan flych' Special Report: Visiting Book Clubs in Springville Books & Bagels "A Well Read Group - with Good Taste" Debbie Balzotti I visited Books and Bagels, Ba-gels, the Springville Library Li-brary Book Club in June. Everyone is invited to discuss dis-cuss a book while eating their lunch - or the delicious deli-cious bagels provided. The library provides the books on loan to each reader which is very convenient. Check with the library for details on when they will meet and then sign out a book for that month. Asking those attending why they liked this book club, they all agreed that the opportunity to read a good book and share ideas was a wonderful intellectual intellectu-al outlet. Whether the mom of small children, or a business busi-ness woman, a young student, stu-dent, an octogenarian or a professor, everyone found something for them in this book club. They meet at noon, in a room downstairs at the city offices. If I was a city employee I would be sure to join this book club since it is so conveniently con-veniently located! And the bagels are yummy. The book discussed in June was a Leo Tolstoy short story about death. Of course it was about death, a dreary marriage and a wasted life; this is Tolstoy after all. I loved this story and the great discussion that it generated. David Hatch, a professor profes-sor at BYU, began the discussion dis-cussion with this question: "What does Tolstoy want us to know about human existence through our experiences with Ivan's life?" Hmmm, I have no idea. This is definitely food for thought. I realize I am reaching for another bagel at this point. It was a good thing Hatch could give us some background on Tolstoy and the author's strong belief that the Beatitudes should guide our lives. Tolstoy Tol-stoy was a very spiritual man, but not a religious man. He disagreed with the dominant religion of Russia in the 1800s, and sought spiritual guidance from the bible and the life of Christ. His frustrations with trying to live his own spiritual mandates are reflected re-flected in the themes found in his writings. Okay I may be getting closer to giving an intelligent intel-ligent answer to the initial question, but I am going to listen to some of the others around the table first. You know, just so that I don't say what they were going to say. Ruth, who is 86, pointed out that the main character, charac-ter, Ivan, is approaching death and he feels like she did going down the water slide tube at 7 peaks. Did I mention she is 86? Tolstoy put it this way: "And he had to live thus all alone on the brink of an abyss, with selves from the mosquitoes no one who understood or that carrv the West Nile vi- The TriCounty Health Department has reported the first human case of West Nile virus in Utah.

Get rid of standing water wa-ter on your property to reduce re-duce mosquito populations (old tires, buckets, wading pools, etc.). In 2007, Utah also saw a huge increase in the number num-ber of people who got sick from a waterborne illness called Cryptosporidium (commonly called "crypto"). "cryp-to"). UDOH has confirmed 12 cases of crypto in 2008 - only one of which was pool related. Swimming-related crypto can be prevented if all Utahns cooperate to keep the parasite out of pools. New regulations have been implemented to help achieve this, including: includ-ing: children under the age of three years and individuals individ-uals without bowel control must wear a swim diaper dia-per and waterproof swim pants swimmers must not swim if they have diarrhea or have had diarrhea in the last two weeks pool owners must respond re-spond properly to fecal accidents in swimming pools. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has these suggestions sugges-tions to help you stay safe. Don't swim when you have diarrhea, and for two weeks after the disease has cleared. Don't swallow the pool water. Take the kids on bathroom bath-room breaks and check diapers often. j .tt-r j i vv- ":- Xf I S i toil rilioioiiUoio W.lnlciffi J,t natural to feel uneasiness when you have medical issues.
