Notice the unique breezeway Open house set for school home BY CAROL SHW Beacon Writer A home designed and built by students at Weber High School was open for public viewing last weekend The 1514 square foot brick house is located in North Ogden at 3068 N. 150 E The house was designed by Chris Campbell, son of Mr. and Mrs Reed Campbell, of North Ogden. He was the winner of last years home designing contest, which is a feature of the drafting class taught by Keith Allred at the school. This years winning floor plans will be built by the school next year. Over 150 students were involved in the building and marketing of this house. The interior decorating class, taught by Brenda Williams, chose the walltex, linoliem, carpeting, light fixtures and other necessities. They are also making the draperies. Barry Christiansen's business class is doing all the bookkeeping A marketing class is selling the home under the direction of Joe Tiano The Ag Science class is planning the landscaping and planting trees and shrubs They are taught by Therold Quayle Steve Counselor Bishop, the Vocational at the school, is coor- dinating the whole thing. The home has been built, with a minimal professional help, by the Home Construction Class, under the direction of Earl Green. The total electric home was designed and built with energy conservation in mind. Besides having double glazing in all the windows, it has special energy saving features, such as six inch exterior walls and more than double the standard amount of insulation. It uses a heat pump, instead of the usual furnace, for both heating and cooling. Another energy saving feature is a unique fireplace in the living room. The fireplace is designed to be used w ith its glass doors shut, as the fire is vented from the outside. Heat enters the room from vents which draw warmth from the firebox. This cuts way down on the heat loss through the lireplace, according to Mr. Green. The house has three bedrooms, an i ntrance hall, a formal dining room, wo baths and a double garage. The garage doors have automatic openers. The kitchen features a built in i breakfast nook It has the new colored fixtures and appliances, including a dishwasher and stove with oven. The kitchen windows, which are over the corner sink, facing the east and south, are greenhouse windows. They are built with shelves for plants and extend out from the house to catch more sun. The house is decorated with gold, orange and white, with brown accents, except for the master bedroom, which is done in a beautiful gaslight almond g green. One of the nicest features of the home is the many spacious closets. The bedrooms have closets with built-i- n adjustable shelves. Waste plant suggested by WALTLEFLER Beacon Writer City officials of Pleasant View were shown a slide presentation by officers of the company which will be in- stalling the solid waste plant in Weber County. Bob Turley, president of Teledyne Incorporated showed council members how the plant would recover reusable material, energy and landfill.

Councilman Alan Christiansen agreed with Shupe and suggested that the businesses in the North Ogden area negotiate with a private firm to dump their garbage. The ordinance was amended to say that no commercial garbage will be picked up amendment of the zoning ordinance. Craig Barker asked the council to review the ordinance and then set a public hearing He also reported on the mapmg of the sensitive areas in North Ogden and said that the study must be completed June 30. "All the data is in and we are trying to compile it on one map, commented Barker on reported ' the conditional use Possible settlement made with Medicaid A tentative settlement with Ron King, Comptroller, reported to the board that they had received an additional $28,000 back from Medicaid, in excess of what they had expected in settlement with this state agency. This $138,000 check was for settlements in patient care, with $101,000 for 1976 and $37,000 for 1977. He said that he hoped to increase this money by attempting to up the acute rate charged by the hospital from $47.20 per day to $80 to increase the revenue received. This will be accomplished, King said, by making quarterly time studies of the time that nurses spend with each patient in order to justify costs charged for acute patients versus others requiring less care. Settlement with Medicare for 1975 and 1976 payments, which they claim the hospital owes them $401 and $8,787 in back payments, is dependent upon the auditing of the 1977 report. In 1977, the hospital was still not making these quarterly time studies to justify increased care costs, and thus King said that they werent sure that Medicare would give them a good settlement for that year. He said that if he could get the acute rate up, "then they would owe us money. Administrator Van Morrlehem indicated to the board that the hospital was now making these time ftudies to justify increased patient costs, and was also in the process of moving patients creased care that required dollars Harris said for Ma Bell Mothers Day is this Sunday and Mountain Bell employees are making preparations for the second busiest long distance calling day of the year On May 14, the telephone network will be carrying a heavy load of love and affection for mothers across the nation Jim Kearns, Operations Manager-Netw- ork, said approximately 682,000 interstate long distance calls are expected to be placed from Utah on this special day. This figure is eight per cent higher than the number of calls placed last year, he commented Throughout Medicaid for $138,000 was reported by Weber County Hospitals Comptroller at Tuesdays monthly board meeting. Other items considered by the board included approval of the purchasing of approximately $1,200 in podiatry surgery items, including a new bone cutting machine. Approval was also given for increasing the fire insurance premium to accurate reflect the value of the additions to the facility which had not been considered in the policy. A blanket policy to additionally cover the hospital for professional liability up to $1.5 million for lawsuits will be studied by the board with further study being made by Hospital Administrator Dave Van Moorlehem. Moorlehem continued the need for a bigger hospital Chief engineer, Dale Harris, ex plained the plans for the hospital annex that will be built adjacent to the McKay-De- e Hospital and be completed in 18 months The estimated cost for the annex is 2 2 million Mothers Day busiest time Phase four and Phase five of the Cameron Cove subdivision was said city administrator, I suggest that we Dennis Shupe THIS HOME facil.lies m the area 3 Develop an after hours clinic to provide services alter the local doctor's offices have dosed This clinic would be in operation until the time that the North Ogden area could support and justify recommendation, report increase for North Ogden by SUE ELLEN SIMS able to support a hospital and that it will take a long time before the population growth would be sufficient to suDDort such a hospital. said McKay-De- e hospital administrator, Kenneth Johnson He said that 15 acres of land is There has owned by the hospital never been a tentative date for the beginning of construction, so we asked Hamilton Association of Minneapolis, Minnesota, to do a study on the designated site and then give us a the nation, an estimated 15 4 million interstate long distance calls are expected to be completed on Mothers Day This compares with more than 14 million calls completed between states a year ago. Kearns said He pointed out that the number of calls placed on Mothers Day isnt any higher than the number of calls placed The on any normal business day increased calling load is created because customers change their calling patterns on this day and also talk much longer, he explained Kearns suggested that when a call fails to go through on the first attempt, the customer wait a few minutes rather than try again im- mediately Customers can save time and money by dialing their own calls and by placing them during one of the less busy periods This would be all day Saturday, early Sunday morning or Sunday afternoon before 5pm. Customers can take advantage of night and weekend rates if they dial their own interstate calls anytime Saturday or before 5pm on Sunday. These rates are 60 per cent low er than day rates. Interstate evening rates, which are 35 percent below day rates, apply from 5pm to 11 p m. Sunday and on weekdays in- to specific units within the facility. Dr. Maynard H. Rassmussen, resident podiatrist told the board of the increased demand within the hospital for this type of surgery and that they were in desperate need of a valued at bone cutting machine approximately $2,4Ju. Administrator Van Mooreeham also told the group that this new equipment was not included in the current fiscal years budget as the level of surgery was less when I came here in December than now. This item was not in the budget, but I feel that where we can get revenue from its services which will more than offset expenses of getting it, it would be a good item. The only reason, he said, that he brought it to the boards attention was that any item in excess of $1,000 and notjn the budget would be brought foi their approval. Dr. Rassmussen told the group that podiatry patients are received on an basis, wherein convalescence is not at the facility. He said he ould like to encourage people o use the the facility for this type of surgery and also his associates, but they needed this type of equipment to be able to encourage this type of thing Board member Dr. Helen Farr moved for approval of the machinery, with Ronald Smout seconding the action.
