You blow exactly how the us owner treated the earned my lesson the ray Dylan Topalian, a freshman business major from St. George, recently took out a loan of more than $3,000 to buy a used Toyota Tacoma truck. Topalian knew the previous owner and made sure everything was in good working order before making the deal official. They cleaned the truck inside and out, Topalian said. They put in a new liner and made sure the carpet had no stains. The truck had a lot of miles on it, but I knew it had been taken care of so I wasnt too concerned. I love my truck and even though I am still paying off the loan, I think it was worth it. Mike Sykes, sales manager for Stephen Wade Auto Centers, 150 W. Hilton Drive, said used cars are often a good way to go, but new cars have their advantages too. You can typically buy a nice used car with good options and equipment at an affordable price, Sykes said. New cars though have rebates, and also have lower interest rates. As far as choosing when to buy a car, Topalian said he thinks holidays are the best time. If you go around holidays like 4th of July, you get the best sales and maybe even a little extra off, Topalian said. Senholtz agreed and said July is a good time to buy a new car. The newest cars usually come out around July, Senholtz said. You can get the 201 1 year of a car in July of 2010. Sykes, however, said he does not believe there is a best time of year to buy a car. Dealers create a lot of hype throughout the year, Sykes said. As far as advice for student consumers, Sykes said research is an important step. Go on Kelly Blue Book, Sykes said. Find out as much information as you can before you go out to buy or sell. Do research and evaluate what you really need. Sykes said good deals can be found if tire time and effort is put into the research. The most important thing is to look for what fits your needs, Sykes said. Stay focused on what you set out for and do your homework. 1 A x BY ASHLEY BUSHMAN Dixie Sun Staff Writer Head injuries are the most common injuries from bicycles, skateboards, long boards and rollerblading according to the Division of Highway Safety. Bicycling is a common outdoor sport that involves accidents. According to information from the Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute, www.bhsi. orgstats. html, on average, 90 bicyclists are killed in accidents with motor vehicles. Head injuries accounted for more than 60 percent of cle-related deaths. Bicycling is not the only sport that can cause injury to the head Snowboarding and skiing are two other sports that can be problematic without a helmet. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, 14 percent of all skiing and snowboarding injuries from accidents are head injuries. Another activity that leads to accidents is motorcycling. According to the Utah Department of Health, helmet use among fatally-injure- d motorcyclists is below 50 percent. Also, head injury is the leading cause of death in motorcycle crashes. Helmets are the smart choice, yet head traumas are among the list of common accidents that are seen in the emeigency room. Brett Christiansen, doctor of intensive medicine at Dixie Regional Medical Center, 1380 E. Medical Center Drive, has seen a lot of accidents involving head trauma. While working in the emergency room, he sees victims coming in from bicycling, skateboarding, snowboarding and motorcycle accidents. Christiansen said: There is significant difference n be-ee- car lots are always full of new and used vehicles.

Many times helmets have saved lives, while on the verse patients with head trauma are usually life flighted for more intensive care," Christiansen said. While head traumas are common, there are surprisingly few laws to help protect peoples heads. In fact, there is only one. In the state of Utah there are currently no laws regarding wearing a helmet while bicycling, skateboarding, snowboarding or skiing. The only law that mandates helmet use in Utah is on motorcycles. That law only mandates individuals 8 years old or younger wear a helmet, according to the State of Utah Mandatory Helmet Law, found at www.usff.comhldl hlstatutesutahhl.html. It seems that the general consensus is that most people choose not to wear hel 1 mets. Mitch Payne, a freshman undecided major from St. George, said: I dont wear a helmet for biking or long boarding or anything else exbecause I cept was in a bad accident and a helmet saved my life. The reason I dont wear a helmet is mostly because I will look stupid. Not looking cool seems to be the major contributor for not wearing a helmet. Christiansen said: (My son) was the only kid in the neighborhood that had to wear a helmet while riding a bike. Its a rule at our house. One day he asked me if I would let him go without one. I told him, Sure, but the bike stays in the garage. So he parked it and there the bike stayed for five years because he didnt want to wear a helmet. However, helmets can save lives. see HELMETS page 12 |
