Flu-Mist Flu-Mist is recommended for healthy, non-pregnant individuals in-dividuals two to 49 years of age. Both types of influenza in-fluenza vaccine contain three new virus strains (A Brisbane592007 (H1N1)-like, (H1N1)-like, ABrisbane 102007 (H3N2)-like, and B Florida42006-like) that are responsible for the majority ma-jority of influenza illnesses this season. Individuals should check with their health care provider to determine de-termine which vaccine is best for them. "The flu vaccine can greatly reduce the risk of people getting seriously ill with the flu," says Robert Rolfs, MD, State Epidemiologist. Epide-miologist. "In addition to getting vaccinated, there are other measures that can also reduce the risk of spreading or getting the flu-but only if people actually actu-ally practice them."

The Utah Department of Health (UDOH) encourages vaccination for anyone who wants to reduce the risk of getting the flu or spreading spread-ing it to others. Vaccination should continue throughout the influenza season, from October until May. While all individuals may receive the vaccine, the UDOH and CDC encourage certain high-risk groups to get vaccinated as soon as vaccine is available. These groups include: the elderly; young children; health care workers; immune-compromised individuals; residents in long-term care facilities; pregnant women; those who live in households with high-risk individuals; and those with kidney, lung or heart disease. "Vaccination is particularly particu-larly important for breastfeeding breast-feeding and pregnant women," says Lynn Martinez Mar-tinez with the UDOH Pregnancy Preg-nancy Risk Line. "They are at higher risk for developing develop-ing complications from influenza in-fluenza and also have contact con-tact with infants and children chil-dren under five years of age, who are more likely to require medical care or hospitalization if infected," she added. The CDC and the American Ameri-can College of Obstetricians Obstetri-cians and Gynecologists recommends all pregnant women or women who will be pregnant during influenza influen-za season receive the inac-' inac-' tivated influenza vaccine, not the live virus vaccine. Breastfeeding women may receive either the live virus vaccine or the inactivated influenza vaccine. Utah influenza information informa-tion and weekly seasonal influenza activity updates up-dates are available every Wednesday at 1 p.m. on the UDOH Influenza Web page at www.health.utah.gov flu.

Unfortunately, car manufacturers manu-facturers are making it difficult for independent repair shops to obtain the technical information needed to repair today's vehicles. As technology becomes more sophisticated, sophisti-cated, the situation will become be-come worse. Thousands of neighborhood neighbor-hood small businesses in Utah that repair automobiles automo-biles will be forced out of business without the technical tech-nical and safety information informa-tion available only from the car companies. Withholding information informa-tion will eventually prevent pre-vent both car owners and highly skilled technicians from being able to make the simplest repairs to vehicles, ve-hicles, and that's the makings mak-ings of a disaster for consumers con-sumers unless something is done. Manufacturers use these tactics to prevent you from bringing your car to a repair re-pair shop of your choice, and force you to patronize the manufacturer's dealer. Consumers will lose their Sculpture Continued from page 1 stallation of sprinklers and landscaping. Swanson estimated the garden will have a final cost of about $750,000 including in-cluding donated time and materials. Efforts to create the garden gar-den began in 2004 after the dedication of the museum's new wing. The idea for a sculpture garden came as museum personnel considered consid-ered the need to make the area look nice as well as provide security for the museum. The area has been designed to accommodate receptions and other public events. Swanson said the garden will provide space to exhibit ex-hibit large sculptures that won't easily fit inside the museum. In fact, the garden gar-den was designed to center around a nine-and-a-half-foot tall bronze sculpture by Cyrus Dallin, one of the founders of the Springville art movement. Titled "The Spirit of Life" and depicting depict-ing an angel holding aloft a baby, the sculpture was acquired by the museum through a contribution from Blake and Nancy Roney. "That was the first piece we bought specifically for this garden and the garden gar-den was designed for this sculpture," Swanson said. The sculpture is the first thing visitors see as they walk into the garden from J growth in our community. The beautiful proposed water wa-ter park was voted down. As a result, our citizens increase the tax earnings of surrounding cities. We take our families to play choice to have repairs made more conveniently, and less expensively. Congress is now considering consid-ering the Motor Vehicle Owner's Right to Repair Act (HR 2694). This legislation legis-lation will make it illegal for vehicle manufacturers to withhold technical information infor-mation from car owners and repair shops. After all, shouldn't car owners choose where they have their vehicle repaired and not the manufacturers? If Congress fails to pass the Right to Repair Act, then over 1.5 million cars on the road today in Utah will no longer be able to choose from more than 2,200 independent repair shops in Utah for service, but will instead be forced to one of the 150 manufacturer's manufac-turer's car dealers for necessary nec-essary repairs. Please ask your elected officials to support the Right to Repair Act by visiting vis-iting www.righttorepair. org to send a letter to each of your congressional representatives, rep-resentatives, urging them to add their names to the growing list of co-sponsors. Kathleen Schmatz President and CEO Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association garden its main entrance, which is located near the southeast south-east corner of the museum. As they enter, visitors first follow a walkway between two structures built to house mechanical equipment and restrooms. Past the buildings, visitors continue walking between lines of pillars until they reach the pavilion. The Dallin sculpture was placed on the opposite side of the garden from the entrance en-trance so the view of it is framed by the lines of pillars. pil-lars. Great care has been taken tak-en to ensure that the garden's gar-den's design mirrors the Spanish architecture and design of the museum. The walls are covered with the unique plaster work featured fea-tured on the museum and pillars around the pavilion were cast as copies of pillars pil-lars inside the museum's atrium. More than 40 volunteers helped with landscaping in the garden on Saturday. The volunteer effort was organized by 15-year-old Christian Storrs of Springville Spring-ville as his Eagle Scout project. "We had so many people, it went by so fast," Storrs said. "We were planning on three hours and it got done in about 45 minutes."

Let's not make the same mistake we made with our water park, by voting against this amazing building. For years, I have paid non-resident fees to belong to the Provo City Library, which has better facilities and a larger selection of materials mate-rials to choose from. The company I own pays to have off -site meeting there as well With a new facility in our lovely Springville, my fees as well as many others would come back to our city rather then helping help-ing another. Comments are being made about the size of the proposed building being too large. Libraries are used for more than checking check-ing out a book. They are used as meeting places, study halls and story telling tell-ing forums for our families. fami-lies.

Being able to check out books or movies as well as accessing the Internet to write papers at our library will be more important than ever. The raising of our new library will create construction con-struction jobs paid for with a government bond, in a time where our construction construc-tion workers are desperately desper-ately looking for work. In addition, the bids for the construction of the building build-ing are reasonable and low. Do the right thing for our families and community by voting for the growth of our fine city library. Michele Stone Springville EDITORS NOTE: The previous bond election in Springville in July 2003 was not just for a water park (acquatic center). It also included a new city building including public safety and courts, a new recreation center and a new library. All were combined com-bined in one vote which was voted down by the citizens. If that bond had passed, we would have all of those facilities today.
