Provo residents may not have to go out of town if they want to buy beer on Sunday depending if council members agree to lift the ban.

The Provo City Council says their discussion over possibly changing the ordinance are still in the early stages. The council says it is local businesses who are pushing for the sale of beer on Sunday. But Councilman Rick Healy says it the concern about changing the "moral fabric" of the Provo community that is most at stake.

"We're going to look at whether or not this ordinance needs to be adjusted to take into consideration that there are many different peoples from different places, and are we in the right place for this," says Healy. "I would think that we would want to be fair to all the peoples who live in and around Provo."

Many Provo residents have to take their beer shopping out of town on Sunday.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Authorities say seven cases of the horse herpes virus have been confirmed in Utah, with as many as eight more suspected cases.

Utah state veterinarian Bruce L. King says Monday a second horse has been euthanized after it could not stand in its stall over the weekend.

King says four facilities are under quarantine orders because of horses infected with Equine Herpes Virus-1. The horses are in Kane, Box Elder, Davis and Utah counties.

The virus began spreading after an event last month in Ogden. More than 30 horses in nine states and Canada have been infected and at least seven infected horses have died.

The Utah Department of Agriculture is not recommending cancellations of events featuring horses.
