See your doctor; you might have an STD. The rates of sexually transmitted diseases are increasing countywide, statewide and nationwide, and health officials are expressing concerns with the spikes. The average number of chlamydia cases in Utah County from 2001 to 2004 was 238 cases a year; in 2005, the county health department treated 42 1 cases, about a 30 percent increase. The number of gonorrhea cases has climbed from an average of 22 a year to 60. Dr. Joseph Miner, director of the Utah County health department, listed a couple of reasons why the rate of chlamydia is increasing. First, more infection is likely being spread as people are less careful or have more sexual partners. The other major reason is more people are being tested. In the past few years the testing mechanism has changed from a doctor taking a culture to people giving a urine sample. The new test is less invasive and more sensitive", which has resulted in increased numbers. "That trend is actually reflected in the state statistics and nationally," Miner said. Even that, though, is only half the story. "It's estimated that a lot more people have these diseases, but, they don't know that they have it," said Tim Lane, manager of the state's STD Prevention program. "That's the problem." The good news is the state numbers are still far below the national average and for the county, below the statewide average. The bad news is, that's still not very good news. "We're still significantly below many other areas'," Miner said. "However, the increase is quite dramatic." "Utah's rates may be lower than the nation's but they're going up," Lane agreed, adding Utah had the biggest percentage increase in gonorrhea than any other Natalie Evans DAILY HERALD i V Hundreds of snakes are set to slither into Mapleton, however residents say the reptiles and their rodent food supare sneaking in and want them ply stopped. Dan and Colette Sutherland thought they'd done everything necessary to move their business from Palm dale, Calif., to Mapleton. They bought property in an agricultural zone, the city granted busithem a permit for a home-baseness, which they thought they could use to house their Internet-basesnake business. Two barns one for the snakes and one for the mice they eat are already sitting on the lot. The snakes don't have a move-i- n date yet. However, Mapleton City Manager Bob Bradshaw said that the application for the land and building permit and the true intent of the Sutherlands.don't match. "In the first place, I think they got their permit to build the barns in deceit. He called it a hobby," Bradshaw said, referring to Dan Sutherland. The business did start as a hobby, the Sutherlands said. Colette Sutherland got her first snake, Kashmire, 30 years ago as a pet. It was the jnly thing she wasn't allergic to. Now, the business ships and breeds the ball pythons. Nearly 200 snakes hatched at their business last u d 1 9 d almost-complet- e year. The permit was never reviewed before the council or planning commission, and neighbors were not notified. "Not everyone who plans to raise snakes in Mapleton goes to the council for permission," Mayor Jim Brady said.
