Members of the Millcreek Youth Council had the great opportunity to attend Local Officials Day at the Utah State Capitol this past Wednesday. They were joined by youth councils throughout the state, some coming from as far as St. George, where they were all able to take tours of the Capitol building, visit with their ---PAGE BREAK--- legislators, and see firsthand how the Legislature operates. The theme of this year's Local Officials Day was "Redesigning the State Flag." The youth councils learned all about (and how to pronounce) vexillology. Attendees had the chance to submit their own Utah state flag design to the Utah Flag Task Force for consideration. The Youth Council finished the day at the Salt Palace where they attended workshops and listened to a panel with President Stuart Adams and House Speaker Brad Wilson. President Adams and Speaker Wilson were joined by South Jordan Mayor and Utah League of Cities & Towns President Dawn Ramsey to discuss top priorities this session. They explored the need for local and state government to collaborate in tackling issues raised by Utah's rapid population growth, including housing, transportation, and water. At Local Officials Day, Governor Cox announced the "More Than a Flag" initiative, which invites Utahns of all ages to submit their ideas for a new Utah state flag design. The current state flag was adopted by the Utah State Legislature in 1913, and has not undergone any changes since that time. ---PAGE BREAK--- “This is not an effort, at all, to take away our history,” says Rep. Stephen Handy, a member of the Utah Flag Task Force and one of the leaders of the effort. “This is an effort to modernize a symbol of our great state.” Learn more about the plan to select a new flag and submit your own design at flag.utah.gov.

Here are some ways to get your pet ready for the new year. 1. VACCINATE: Make sure your pet is up to date on vaccinations. Pet illnesses and diseases are preventable if you vaccinate your pet. Veterinary visits are often booked out, so call and make an appointment right away. 2. MICROCHIP: At Salt Lake County Animal Services, any pet in Salt Lake County with a current pet license can receive a FREE microchip with proof of license. You can walk in with your pet during our open hours for this service, no appointment necessary. Microchipping is one of the best ways to get an animal back to their owner as quick as possible. Questions? ---PAGE BREAK--- Email [EMAIL REDACTED]. 3. LICENSE: By Utah state law, pet owners must license a pet by the time it is five months of age or within 30 days of the owner moving into an area or acquiring the pet.

Radon Awareness Week: January 24-28 According to the Environmental Protection Agency, radon causes around 21,000 lung cancer deaths each year, and 1 in 15 homes in the United States has high radon levels. Radon is an odorless, invisible gas naturally released from rocks, soil, and water into the air. Radon can get into homes or buildings through small cracks or holes and build up to high levels. Breathing in high levels of radon over time can cause lung cancer. Radon can build up in any home — new or old, drafty or sealed — in any part of the country. Radon can cause lung cancer in anyone, including those who have never smoked. The only way to know if your home has high radon levels is to test for radon: ---PAGE BREAK--- COVID UPDATE FOR MILLCREEK Case counts through 1/20/2022 Millcreek (surrounding cities) cumulative and current cases by zip code: 84106: 7,188 total cases (1,315 current cases) 84107: 8,467 total cases (1,547 current cases) 84109: 5,103 total cases (1050 current cases) 84117: 5,371 total cases (1025 current cases) 84123: 9,084 total cases (1,526 current cases) 84124: 4,461 total cases (916 current cases) TOTAL: 39,674 (increase of 4,600 since 1/13/2022, our last reported data). ---PAGE BREAK--- Millcreek experienced 15,235 cumulative COVID cases as of the 6th of January 2021.
