Watching are commissioners: commis-sioners: Lorin Merrill, Max Adams and Glen McKee. $8,000 presented to county for '96 bash Judging by the enthusiasm of those planning the state's centennial celebration, Uintah Basin residents can look forward to an eventful year. In short, 1996 is going to be some birthday party. Last week Uintah County Commissioners were presented pre-sented with a check for $8,086. The money will be used for Uintah County's celebration of the Utah Centennial in 1996. $3,086 of the amount was generated by the sale of centennial license plates in Uintah County since June 1992. "In planning this celebration," said John Beaslin, Uintah County Centennial State Committee member, mem-ber, "we want to leave something permanent commemorating the 100 years of statehood." The committee has 30 events proposed, pro-posed, "We are in the process of selecting se-lecting the best ones." Beaslin said the Centennial celebration cele-bration in 1996 will piggy-back the sesquicentennial celebration of the pioneers coming to Salt Lake Valley. Members of the Utah Statehood Centennial Commission (USCQ and each county's centennial centen-nial commission members met for the first time July 29-31, at Utah State University to discuss ways to organize, publicize and finance the state's 100th birthday celebration. Uintah County residents attending the workshop were Uintah County Chairman Arden Stewart and John Beaslin. Stephen Studdert, chairman of the USCC, told participants the upcoming upcom-ing celebration of statehood is a wonderful chance, not only to reflect re-flect on Utah's history, but also to celebrate what Utah has become and the state's future. Studdert reminded committee members that 1996 marks a celebration celebra-tion of statehood, not of pioneers settling the state. "This should be a celebration of our diversity," Studdert said. "We want every citizen to have a sense of ownership of the centennial celebration." cele-bration." . County committees are encour-i encour-i aged to improve and expand already ; existing events in their areas rather t'than sponsoring a raft of new ? events.

USU President George Emert said j that while living in Utah for just one I year he has observed that Utahns i have many things to celebrate, in- eluding a tremendous heritage, j strong work ethic, caring citizens and beautiful surroundings. Lt. Governor Olene Walker told the group, "It doesn't matter if your J ancestors were pioneers who settled C here or if you just arrived in the 5 state.

Pat Hunting, OR staff nurse, was chosen as the Employee of the Month by her fellow employees at the hospital. Employees are nominated by secret se-cret ballot, and chosen by an anonymous anony-mous committee made up of hospital hospi-tal employees. Hunting, who was hired at AVMC as an LPN on the MedicalSurgical unit in June of 1983, is an example of a quality nurse, commented members of the committee. She has since received her Registered Nursing degree, and moved to the Operating Room. Some of the comments made about Hunting by her fellow employees em-ployees were, 'Tat is very knowledgeable knowl-edgeable in many areas of the hospital. hos-pital. She feels comfortable in the operating room, endoscopy room, recovery room, short-stay surgery office, and in the central processing department. rWe can always depend on her to help out" "I really enjoy working in the operating op-erating room and like the people I work with," she said. "My supervisor supervi-sor lets me develop my skills in different dif-ferent areas that I enjoy. I also enjoy helping our patients in our short- V ' l Km"' i Pat Hunting stay area. That is one area where we see the patient get better immediately immediate-ly and it gives us a great feeling to see the patient feel better." "I don't know if people in our area know the quality of service that the hospital provides them. Since I've been here, AVMC has come a long way in the treatment of our patients. With our new laparoscopy and laser equipment in the operating rooms, we can provide the same care that used to only be available in Salt Lake City. Our physicians are well trained, and have the expertise to keep our community healthy." In her spare time, Hunting enjoys spending time with her husband, Steven, and her four children, Elizabeth, Paul, Bart, and LynEve. She and her family are active in the Special Olympics, and enjoy participating partic-ipating along with their son, Paul. She is also an avid quilter, and is known for giving much of her work to her friends.
