When there is not enough insulin produced by the pancreas, unused glucose (sugar) builds up in the blood and passes through the kidney, and spills into the urine. Glucose in the urine and abnormally large amounts of blood glucose are the prominent features of diabetes. All diabetes do not spill' sugar into the urine, however, so the absence of sugar in the urine is not an absolute assurance that you do not have diabetes. In a diabetic who has sugar in the urine, the AMOUNT of urine increases. Since so much water is lost in the urine, thirst is a sign of diabetes. Weakness, hunger, weight loss and feeling tired are also symtoms since the cells are not receiving their quota of glucose due The local Area Conference on Aging will be held on May 2, 1984, at the Beaver Senior Citizens Center; May 3, 1984, Panguitch Senior Citizens Center; and May 4, 1984, at St. George Senior Citizens Center. The conference will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. each day. to lack of insulin. When your body is unable to get energy from glucose, it turns to a less efficient energy source, fat. Fat breaks down and enters the blood stream. But only some of this fat enters the cells to be used as energy. The liver converts excess blood fats into a substance called Ketones. In untreated diabetics, these ketones may increase in the blood and be present in the urine. A condition known as Diabetic Acican result and the patient usually has to be hospitalized. dosis Last week we mentioned that there are two types of diabetes; Juvenile Diabetes effecting children and young people and maturity-o- n -- set diabetes occurs in middle and old age. Juvenile type diabetes occurs when the pancreas cannot produce insulin. Maturity on-s- et In these cases the pancreas usually diabtes is more common. produces some insulin, but not enough or it produced it In an unusable form. Even though the tendency toward diabetes probably exists from birth, it may be years before the condition develops. Anyone of a number of factors, such as over weight, infection, unusual stress, illness or Injury could trigger the onset of diabetes. The maturity -- on -- set diabetic is many time over weight. Obesity raises the bodys requirement for insulin. It should also be noted that about one-ha- lf of maturity-o- n -- set diabetics show none of the symptoms mentioned above. In these cases diabetes may be discovered at the time of a Tegular physical exam, which is a bonus to the patient. The problems canthenbe treated before serious damage occurs. More about diabetes next week. The VFW Auxiliary made six large tery towel bibs for the nursing home people. They are very useful in protecting clothing at meal time. The patients enjoy the fresh colors. Selma Kirk showed us she really cares by supplying yarn for a friend to make shawls and leg warmers. Our thanks to all!

This was the opinion of Utah Foundation, the private tax research organization, in its analysis of the court decision and the special session legislation approved last month. A decision of the State Supreme Court on March 13, 1984 . uled that the practice of basinglocal property assessments on historic 1978 values rather than current values ,;as unconstitutional. The ruling would have required that local property valuations be raised by 46, and this meant that local property owners would have faced a substantial increase in their 1984 property tax bills. Legislative action taken by the special session of the 1984 Legislature, however, greatly moderated the effect of this court decision. Instead of increasing local valuations by 46, assessments will be raised by only 12. Moreover, the shift in the property tax burden from centrally -- assessed (state) property to locally-assesse- d property was reduced from $47.5 million to $14.8 million. Even though the new legislation does moderate the impact of the Court Supreme the decision, Foundation study indicates that most local property owners still will be faced with some increase in their will FREE ATTACHMENT WORTH UP TO $61.95 NO MONTHLY PAYMENTS TILL MAY clippings for lawn food while the Snapperizer pulverizes leaves for fall clean-u- p Then there s the convenience of the kit So Extra purchase a SNAPPER mower today and get a free work saving attachment Discover how easy it is to take advantage of our Sensational Spring Savings by using our credit plan Now that s quite an ofter ?!

This the Challenge of the property tax. Among other things the legislation will require the fol- property taxes this year. While the exact amount of the increase will not be known until the new assess ments and tax rates are set in June, the study estimates that the increase -- could range between 4 and 10 for the state as a whole. The amount of the increase will depend on the actions taken by local taxing units when they establish their tax rates The best case for this year. scenario is based on the assumption that local units will not increase the amount of property tax revenue obtained in 1984. The worst case is based on the assumption that all local units would increase the property tax revenue by 6 as permitted by law. The Foundation analysis indicates that the average property tax on a home with a current market value of $73,000 in Beaver County was about $472 last year. After applying the 1984 changes, the property tax on this home could rise by 4.4 to $493 under the best case assumption or be increased by 10.6 to $522 under the worst case assumption. The Beaver County Assessor Max Limb told the Beaver County Commission last Thursday he could not justify challenging the increase legislated in January, and the factoring process will be instituted. For individual counties, the amount of the tax increase for local owners could range from 2.1 in Washington County to 11.0 in Emery County under the best case assumption and from 8.3 in Washin Emery ington County to 17.8 County under the worst case. Foundation analysts point out that while most property tax increases in 1984 are expected to fall within these ranges, there could be instances where the increase could be outside these limits in particular taxing districts and among specific properties. The above calculations were based on overall county averages and not on specific properties. The study observes that in addition to moderating the Supreme Court decision, the legislation passed during the special session also has some longer -- range implications for the LADIES GOLF lowing: 1. It directs the Tax Commission to develop new sales or cost appraisal methods in valuing taxable property for assessment purposes and will cause these to be implemented before 1986. 2. It appropriates $475,000 to the Tax Commission to conduct a comprehensive sales -- ratio and assessment study on which to base its next factoring order. It authorizes the Tax Com3. mission to withhold state allocated funds to local units in order to ensure compliance with Tax Commission regulations and orders. Prior to 1981, the State Tax Commission was responsible for conducting a statewide reappraisal program on a county -- by -- county rotation basis. While the 1984 special session changes do not revive this reappraisal program, they do give the Tax Commission considerably more power to direct and supervise local assessments according to the Foundation analysis. In the past, the indexing and factoring adjustments made by the State Tax Commission were designed to achieve greater equalization among counties. Under the new program to be launched, adjustments also will be made to achieve equalization among geographic areas and specific classes of property within the same county.
