Under development for four years, the garden is nearing completion and will eventually accommodate as many as 20 sculptures. Hidden behind walls enclosing ground between the museum and the Cherry Creek Elementary School gymnasium, the garden features walkways, trellises, wrought iron gates and a pavilion. "Our goal is to open it for rent als on July 1 (of 2009)," said Vera Swanson, director of the Springville Spring-ville Museum of Art. Donations are still needed to finish the garden, although the area could open before some details de-tails are completed. The garden will be named after Sam and Diane Di-ane Stewart, who are the major donors of cash to the project, and the pavilion will be named after L. Douglas Smoot, another donor. do-nor.

Beginning with the 2008-2009 influenza season, all children ages 6 months through 18 years should be vaccinated against influenza in-fluenza annually. Previous recommendations rec-ommendations focused on children chil-dren up to five years of age. Public health officials say influenza influ-enza can have significant impacts among school-aged children and their contacts (e.g., school absenteeism, absen-teeism, increased antibiotic use, See FLU VACCINES on page 9 Marianne Stephens ' YOUTHNET BOARD October is Red Ribbon Month. Youthnet, The Springville-Ma-pleton PTA Council and Nebo School District are sponsoring their annual Red Ribbon Night on Wednesday, Oct. 29, at 7 p.m. in the Springville High School Auditorium. All parents, youth and members of the community are encouraged to attend and learn what they can do to help prevent youth substance abuse and addiction. Like other risky behaviors young people may be involved in, this is a problem that must be continually addressed in families fami-lies and communities as children grow and are exposed to the use and abuse of drugs and alcohol. As you may have learned, the earlier the exposure and use occurs oc-curs in children, the greater the chance of their developing de pendency or worse. Addiction is not "cured" with one 28-day treatment program. Any family who has a son or daughter fighting fight-ing addiction will tell of the consequences con-sequences they face for years to come. If only five high school seniors se-niors out of a class of 1000 leave school addicted (a reasonable statistic), within a period of ten years there could be 50 more , families in the community dealing deal-ing with it. During that period some of the young people will have died of overdose or other addiction related problems. Several will have been married with at least one child, some will be in and out of jail or prison, and some or most will still need some form of drug treatment. All of the medical, social, legal, physical, financial, marital, etc. ngWed. problems of those addicted will have greatly affected their children, chil-dren, parents, siblings, spouses, in-laws and families, friends, See RED RIBBON WEEK on page 9 scorn avs a.

Construction activities are underway un-derway as the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) began work on SR-77 (400 South) in Springville during the month of September. Motorists have probably prob-ably seen construction workers on 1-15 where an auxiliary lane and a Single Point Urban Interchange Inter-change (SPUI) will be built. " We 've been finishing up design de-sign plans, purchasing right-of-way and working out the final details de-tails of construction preparation," said Bryan Adams, UDOT project director. "We're ready to go!" Area residents are noticeing the work along 1-15 and around the interchange area, which will continue through the end of this fall. Most of the rest of the project, proj-ect, including widening 400 South and creating new bridges at 400 West and 1500 West, will take place between January and No-vember2009. No-vember2009. . i Springville City recently authorized autho-rized UDOT to close 400 South during that period of time so that the work there can be completed com-pleted more safely and during a more compressed schedule - in 11 months instead of being spread across 18 months. "We understand that closing 400 South has a lot of impact on area businesses and residents," Adams said. "It is by far thcsafest and most efficient way for us to complete the work we have to do there, including building two bridge structures. Closing 400 South allows al-lows us to compress the most significant sig-nificant construction impacts into 11 months, as opposed to having them stretch out over 18 months. It is consistent with what citizens always tell us: get in, get it done, get out," he said. According to Adams, 400 South will close early in January, and should reopen and be ready for public access before Thanksgiving Thanks-giving 2009. .
