By KIRSTEN SORENSON Standard-Examiner staff SALT LAKE CITY - Sen. Millie Peterson called state legis- y lators “Pollyannas” for reducing the limit on welfare from the 60month federal restriction to 36 months in Utah. The Democrat from West Val- | ley City spoke on “Welfare Reform: What Will it Mean for Utahns?” at the Hinckley Institute of Politics at the University of Utah Tuesday. She said lawmakers “took the low road” when they decided to only support three years. Those on welfare who have a 20-hour-a-week job at the end of three years can apply to stay on welfare for the next two. Peterson said mostlegislators, whoare white, male and married, are imposing their ideas of how life should be on people on welfare, who are mostly women,single or divorced, and non-white. Single women with children can’t just “go off and get married,” Peterson said, at the same time as getting an education and working. Petersonis also upset the state decided to limit the number of years of education a person on welfare can get to two when there is no federal limit. “That's punitive,” she said. But Rep. Lloyd Frandsen, RSouth Jordan, defended time limits, saying all people work a task better when they know they have to be finished in a certain time. Frandsen, authorof the bill in the 1997 Legislature’ that reformed welfare in Utah, said he supports the idea of getting people on welfare to work as soon as possible. “The sooner we transition these people into work, the longer they stay off the system.” Peterson said people on welfare should not be blamed for their situations, especially by a state that encourages women to stay home and raise their families, but can’t collect enough child support to help out. In Utah, about 14,000 households totalling 40,000 people are | on welfare. Murder From 1B a struggle. Wilson said police now believe about $100 in cash may have been taken. Since the murder police have interviewed more than 400 people, including friends, family members, co-workers and acquaintances of Jill Allen and her husband Paul Christopher Allen. Police still believe Allen knew "her murderer. Wilson said they also have four suspects who knew Allen that they are currently investigating. Wilson said Paul Allen is not one of the suspects. Meanwhile Jill Allen's family remains hopeful that police will eventually find the killer. “The thing that I'm so happy about is the dedication from the police,” said Allen's mother Andrea Myler from her home in Ab- erdeen, Idaho. Myler said it has been a wait for all family members. A wait that they take one day at a time, “We want every detail covered,” she said, “The police have told us they will never close (the case).”” Wilson said police are still offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of a suspect.

Donna Barhorst, MD, IHCPediatrician, responds: A.) DTaP is a new formulation of an old vaccine known as DTP. Thefirst DTP vaccine was available in 1943 protecting against three diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis. Diphtheria is an infection that develops in the throat. Early symptoms include sore throat, fever and chills. If the infection is not treated it can cause problems with swallowing and block the airway, leading to suffocation. The bacteria can also produce a toxin that results in pneumonia and heart failure. Tetanus is sometimes called lockjaw, The bacteria are foundin the soil and enter the body through deep wounds. The symptoms of lockjaw are headache, irritability, and muscu- lar stiffness, The musclesof the jaw, neck, and limbs becomelocked in spasm and seizures may result, leading to heartfailure or suffocation. versy aroundthese side effects led to a dramatic decline in immunization ratesin children in the U.S. DTaP was developedin an attempt to create a safer vaccine with fewerside effects. The new formulation contains an inactive form of the pertussis toxin. It was first available in 1991 to be given as the fourth andfifth boosterto children above age 15 months, These DTaP boosters were licensed for use after the child received three doses of the older whole-cell pertussis found in the different preparations of the DTP vaccine. On December 30, 1996, the Food and Drug Administration licensed the first preparation of the DTaPforall five doses of the diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis series. It can now be given to children at the 2-month, 4 month, 6 month, 18 month and the 5-year check-up. Studies have shown the new vaccineto be effective and safe. Children who received the new vaccine experience significantly fewer side effects including less fever, site swelling, sleepiness, and fretfulness. Combination vaccines have been developedin Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, the past to decrease the numberofshots that are given to children duringa single visit. At starts with symptomslike a commoncold, this time, the new DTaP, to be used for the i.e, runnynose, fever, and cough. The cough five-part series, comes only as a single agent requiring a separate shot from the other immunizations.
