Show Tax reduction under initiatives would average $298 per family in Utah Co. Orom-C.eneva Times Wednesday September 28, "1988 J'aff A typual family of four persons in Utah County with an annual income of $25.(XX) would realize an av'eraue tax reduction of about $151. or 7.9 in ia)me saks gasoline taxes if the tax initiatives are approved in November, r urthemiorc. if the Utah ( ountv family owned own-ed a home with a sales value of $75,000, it would realize an added savings averaging $147. Thus, the total avenue tax reduction would amount to about $298 or 11 $s of the total now expended for income, sales, gasoline and property taxes. These were some of the facts revealed in a study prepared by Utah r oundation. the private tax research organization. As has been its historical practice the Foundation takes no position for or against the tax initiatives, in-itiatives, but presents unbiased, factual information so that an intelligent decision can be made on these important impor-tant issues. i In addition to the general tax reduction cited above the Foundation observes that families with special circumstances cir-cumstances could receive added tax breaks. For example, exam-ple, families with children in private schools could receive a tax credit of $602 for each child enrolled in a private elementary school i grades K-6 1 and $722 for each child enrolled in a private secondary school (grades 7-12i. Smokers who use one pack of cigarettes per day would receive an annual tax reduction of $40. Finally, if the family made any large purchase i such as a motor vehicle or a boat i that is subject to the sales tax, it would realize a tax savings equal of 12 of 1 of the purchase price. Foundation analysts emphasize that the preceding calculations are based on overall county wide averages. The exact tax reduction will van' in different taxing dlst-. tricLs within the county and especially in different counties coun-ties of the state. The report stresses the fact that voters casting their ballots in Novmeber will have to weigh these tax reductions reduc-tions against the prospect of sharply curtailed governmental govern-mental sen-ices along with the likelihood of added charges and fees. If sen-ices are to continue, some governmental agencies may resort to special user charges and fees to replace the funding received from general revenue sources. Where sen-ices arc discontinued, discon-tinued, taxpayers may have to use part of their tax savings sav-ings to purchase such sen-ices from private sources. . Opponents of the initiatives also raise the point that curtailment of certain governmental services could raise other costs for many Utah families and individuals. For example, cuts in motor fuel and diesel fuel taxes probably pro-bably would result in less money being available for maintenance and snow removal on Utah roads. This could trnaslate into longer commute times and more repairs on motor vehicles. Another point brought out by the opponents is that the tax initiatives could increase other costs by making it more expensive for government to borrow. Recently, Standard and Poors, one of the nations major credit rating organizations, placed Utah's triple A general obligation bonds on its "credit watch" list. According to Standard and Poors, Utah's credit worthiness was downgraded because the tax initiatives, if passed, "would diminish the financial flexibility which allowed the state to maintain excellent financial operations despite a cyclical economy."

The Coalville Project includes 19 portal closures, restoration of five areas of mine caving, revegetation of 5.1 acres of land and cleanup of nine coal waste piles. High Mountain Builders, a construction company based in Heber City, is performing the work which is scheduled for completion comple-tion by November 1, 1988. The project cost is estimated at $35,574.75. The MeetinghouseRilda Project involves work at three sites: two in Meetinghouse Canyon and one in Rilda Canyon. The work entails cleanup of 14,646 cubic yards of coal spoils, 14 portal closures which includes in-cludes building walls and using backfill, and debris cleanup. Minchey Digging, Cleveland, was the suc cessful bidder for the project. The estimated project cost is $99,971 and the completion date is December 15, Abandoned Mine Reclamation Programs Administrator Mary Ann Wright said both projects will make the areas safer for the public. "We will have completed reclamation of all known health and safety hazards in the Summit County region, and we are working with the BLM and U.S. Forest Service to reclaim areas of high concern like Huntington Canyon where there is so much hunting and camping," Wright said. Utah's Abandoned Mine Reclamation Recla-mation Program is funded by a fee which every coal mine operator pays on each ton of coal produced. These fees go into a trust fund administered by the Federal Office of Surface Mining, Min-ing, which returns half of the monies to the states for reclamation.

I have heard different recommendations recom-mendations about how often women need the Pap test for cervical cancer. I am somewhat confused. Which recommendations will help me the most. A. Until very recently, there has been longstanding controversy over early detection guidelines for cervical cancer; different sets of guidelines have been established by the national Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society. However, as of January of this year, an agreement has been reached among the National Cancer Institute, the American Cancer Society, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Medical Association and other organizations as to what should be the general screening guidelines. The new recommendations recommenda-tions advise a yearly Pap test when a woman becomes sexually active or reaches the age of 18. After 3 consecutive con-secutive normal tests, the Pap test may be done less often, under the advice ad-vice of the woman's doctor. Many gynecologists feel that young, premenopausal, sexually active women should have yearly Pap smears in order to detect cell changes which could progress to disease within 2 years. The new guideline is recommended for the average woman. There are several cir cumstances which place a woman at higher risk of developing cervical cancer. For those higher-risk women, the pap smear may be performed more frequently. V Women who have been treated for cervical cancer should be examined examin-ed more often. Anyone who has had abnormal pap smears in the past is at higher risk for cervical cancer. Sexually Sex-ually transmitted diseases such as herpes and condyloma can increase the risk. Women who began sexual intercourse in-tercourse at an early age or who have had multiple sex partners are at increased in-creased risk. Finally, women whose mothers took the hormone diethylstil-bestrol diethylstil-bestrol (DES) during pregnancy have an increased risk. The imprtance of screening for early detection of cervical cancer cannot be stressed enough, in the U.S., approximately 14,000 cases of cancer of the cervix will have been diagnosed in 1987. This cancer will have caused nearly 6,800 deaths. However, from the years 1950 to 1970, the death rates have decreased by greater than 50 percent. One of the reasons for this drop is early detection. detec-tion. The earlier the diagnosis and treatment of any abnormality, the better the chances are for a cure. The screening test used to detect the earliest form of cervical cancer is the Pap smear, named after its developer, Dr. George N. Papanicolaou. Cervical cell changes indicated by the Pap test are classified into 5 classes; 1 through 5. A higher number indicates a more suspicious form of cell change. The pap smear is an important part of women's health care. Following Follow-ing the new recommendations and undergoing regular physical exams could make cancer of the cervix a completely curable disease. For further fur-ther information about the Pap test, consult your physcian or call the Cancer Information Service at 1400-4-CANCER. |
