All eligible Utah children who apply during this time period will be accepted. ' The two week open enrollment period will be1 the first opportunity in 2002 for many of Utahs working families to obtain health care coverage for their children since CHIPS continual enrollment was capped last year. CHIP is a state health insurance plan for children whose families cannot afford private health insurance. The program was capped in December 2001 due to state funding projections and an unexpected growth in the number of children receiving coverage. Because of the natural graduation of enrollees, CHIP now has the capacity to enroll more children who are currently without health insurance. Most participants move off the pro--: gram in about a year. Of those 4, low-co- st - p w f b m device can mean the difference between life and death. Developed by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the nationwide project teaches key safety issues to gun owners in an effort to reduce the risk of firearm related injuries or deaths in the home. Usually, firearm accidents in the home result from an unauthorized user, often a child, finding a loaded and unsecured gun in the home and can be reduced when owners handle guns safely and store them in a secure manner.
