The American Cancer Society’s Breast Cancer Task Force team donated to the city pink tulip bulbs—a symbol of Breast Cancer Awareness. The tulips, though not seen in the fall, will bloom in the spring and, hopefully, create an awareness of breast cancer for community members all year round. Representatives from the American Cancer Society state, “Cancer is a disease that touches many of us, and if we can help create awareness for just one person, then we are helping make a difference in the fight against cancer.” Statistics show that, in Utah, an estimated 800 women will be diag- nosed with breast cancer this year, and an estimated 200 will die from the disease this year. Early detection of the disease could spare as many as onethird of those lives. In a 1998 statewide survey, results showed that only 45% of Utah women age 50 and older had reported having a mammogram and a clinical breast exam in the preceding 12 months. Women in Utah are urged to take advantage of early detection methods. Debbie Carter of Liberty, met with Mayor McKay in October at the signing of the Declaration. She is a member of the Breast Cancer Task Force, and also owns a Post-Mastectomy Specialty shop where she helps women who have had breast cancer.

Huntsville 1907 & 1980 Huntsville, UT 1907 Looking north Winters Grove in the center Tips To Help Foster A Love Of Reading (NAPSA)-Read any good books lately? What about your child? If he or she hasn’t taken to books yet, don’t fret. There are a number of ways to develop a child’s literacy, and instill an appreciation and love for reading. One of the best ways for parents to spark their children’s interest in reading is to establish regular times each day for sharing books together—beginning in infancy. Parents should allow children the opportunity to pick out books, encourage them to discuss characters and story plots, and positively reinforce all reading attempts. Whether parents read stories or make them up, children are developing their imaginations and learning at an early age that reading can be fun. Incorporating reading into children’s leisure-time activities is very important in developing their interest and involvement in literature. A recent study conducted by Holiday Inn Express/Yankelovich Partners revealed that more than 50 percent of children prefer watching TV or playing video games as a leisure activity. To encourage kids to read, parents need to be creative. For example, parents can develop word games around the house, create a book allowance, attend book fairs, purchase children’s hobby and interest books, subscribe to children’s magazines, surf the Internet together and schedule family visits to the library. Parents should teach their children that they can read anywhere-even when traveling. According to the Holiday Inn Express/Yankelovich study, only 41 percent of parents encourage their children to read when taking a family vacation. Parents can urge their kids to read on a family trip by asking them to locate cities and landmarks on the map, read the driving directions, play word games or read a book aloud about the destinations the family will be visiting. Even if a parent is traveling without children, the parent can read a bedtime story to them over the phone to communicate that reading is an important daily activity.

There’s more to encouraging children to read than just bringing books into the house. A little creativity can help.
