Intermountain residents should now call to receive immediate advice on how to help a victim of poisoning. Salt Lakers should did or use the 911 emergency number and ask for the Poison Control Center. Normally, we wouldnt think of (hanging such a frequently called, established number, but this change will enable us to cut our telephone costa in half, said Joseph Veltri, associate professor of pharmacy at the University of Utah, and director of the Poison Control Center. The center is funded by the Utah State Health Department, and is housed in space donated by University hospital. As isthe case with many state agencies, we are dealing with a shrinking budget. This will help us be much more 581-215- According to information released this week by Duchesna County Sheriff Clair Foulson, a old woman from the Salt Lake Valley Mental Health Center became lost in the region around Mirror Lake Wednesday, July 27, and spent the night wandering in the region, until a troop of boy scouts from Orem found her Thursday morning. Sheriff Foulson hiked into the area to join the rescue, along with Deputy Doug Horrocks and Search and Rescue personnel. A Summit County deputy handled the preliminary search, as Duchesne County personnel could not get to the secluded lake area as quickly. The woman, Nadine Eyer, was one of seven patients and two supervisors from the Salt Lake mental facility who were on an overnight outing at the lake. Eyer apparently became upset with other members of the group and left on her own about 9 p.m. Wednesday night. She quickly became lost, and wandered through the forest, sometimes walking, sometimes crawling on her hands and knees. She lost her shoes and her glasses, which were 32-ye- ar Continued on page 3 nears time for construction 1, efficient. The Poison Control Center recently upgraded its computer, allowing staffto call up in a matter of seconds, information about hundreds of drugs and poisons. The new system includes four services: Poisindex, identidex, drugdex, emergindex. The IRPCC handles more than 35,000 poisoning calls each year. Nearly 90 of the centers patients can be treated successfully at. home. Plans for the USU Center in Rooeevelt are continuing at a break-nec- k pace, according to Alva Snow, although some legal concerns have resulted in some changes in how the center will be constructed. Snow said that the board has changed the direction of the construction efforts from having a local construction manager, who would oversee construction of the facility using subcontractors, to having a bonded, general contractor assume total responsibility for the project The board had originally wanted to have a construction manager and use local in order to save money and boost local economy, as well at allow local residents to participate in the building of the facility, that would be serving the whole Basin community. It was felt that local pride would improve the quality of the work. Unfortunately, concerns about being able to guarantee that the project would come in on time, within specifications and within budget convinced the board to open the project up for bid by a general contractor. Legal considerations prohibited the board from even specifying that local subcontractors be used by the general contractor in building the facility.

The pageant, under the direction of Joan Swain and Marilyn Duncan, will follow the theme, Celebration of life.

Admission for $3.50 at the door. the pageant is Nikol Robbins Snow said that the bids would be opened on August 3 at 3 p.m. in the city building in Roosevelt, and though the board reserved the right to refuse any or all bids, they would be reviewing the lowest bids with an eye on those contractors that used the most local subcontractors in the project. He stated that ifthe bids were acceptable that they would be let within a week, with actual g to begin a few days after that. By using a straight bid with a bonded contractor, Snow said, the board could set a 300 working day deadline with a penalty clause for lateness. The project would have to be completed at the cost bid also. Another aspect of the contract from process is that the sub con tractors and suppliers will have to accompany each request for payment for work actually completed on the facility. This is done, according to Snow, to assure that there will be no liens for materials or work by those parties that the contractor is already paid for. It is a check and balance that should prevent that problem, (which has arisen in other projects in the area) from happening on the center project. The Impact Board has awarded the funds for the center project, but the money hasnt been received yet by the local board, which was supposed to have re-ceived $1,100,000 by now with the remaining $200,000 to be received by August. Snow said, Things have moved a lot slower than we thought theyd be. The local center board had hoped to have the money by now as they had agreed on an investment plan with First Security Bank on a local level. Vem Osmond approached the local board when the center proposal for Impact Funding was first underway and appeared before the committee and suggested a safeguarded investment program for the funds while the center was being constructed. The interest earned from the investments would have allowed a fudge factor in the construction of the facility, yet the funds would be protected and accessible for payment at any time. Snow figures that the group is losing several hundred dollars a day in possible interest that could have accrued if the funds had been sent as promised. Ifplanscontinue as hoped, the facility will be enclosed before winter sets in, with interior work continuing through the cold months and the completion date being next June. That way the facility would be ready for its first students in time for the school year. ground-breakin- lien-releas- es -- 89-9- 0 . Three found by officers The Duchesne County Sheriffs Department was called out on a search and rescue mission when three juveniles from the area were reported missing, after they were last seen headed north from Bluebell on Monday night, July 25. Deputy Doug Horrocks reports that a juvenile member of the Ute Tribe ran his vehicle into the Goodrich store in Bluebell, and apparently convinced two girls there to go with him. They were reportedmissingin the Clay Basin area, and Search and Rescue personnel were called out to find them. Horrocks says the youth were later found by officers in different areas: the boy was picked up by BIA officers and apparently placed in detention. The girls were picked up by Deputy Travis Mitchell; they were heading east on the road that leads to Hancock Cove. Horrocks was uncertain as to the wherabouts of one of the girls, but the other hadbeen placed in detention prior to juvenile court arraignment No further details were available. |
