THAT LIGHT is coming in more mental health awareness coupled with alcohol and drug prevention efforts, says Davis County Mental Health Director Russell Williams. At the same time, though, his office is inundated with more business than it can handle. The agency's short two therapists, currently, and that only puts those on waiting lists for a longer period than otherwise except in most serious cases, he says. That's why the waiting list as of July 31 had 65 in Layton and 62 in the Bountiful office. THAT COMPARED with less than half that in Layton in early June and eight less in Bountiful. Dr. Willaims biggest concern is for those who we can't admit in the early phases of mental health problems such as family and youth trouble, instead, those are deferred when theyd best be handled until theyre serious enough for a must status. THERES BEEN no growth in mental health staffing in the last couple years but the county's population growth has continued its upward march matched by additional prevention-assistanc- e programs. Our ability to perform is down--it- s dropped approximately 20 percent, he explains, noting that frustration levels just get worse. ON THE positive side, though, more awareness of problems in chemical (drug and alcohol) addiction and substance abuse are alerting more residents to a need for treatment and getting back on the road to normal lives, he says. Although its impossible to predict what upcoming instances might demand the Legislature's attention, Dr. Williams looks positively at improved funding chances. Hopefully, there wont be any more floods and that will mean more money available for mental health and other programs. AND ON A federal level, funding levels are holding at least steady with apparently no prospect for cutbacks. In other business discussed by the mental health advisory board, its hoped the first mentally handicapped adult housing units will see completion within a year. Approval's been received for an eight apartment, up to Clearfield facility while the search is continuing for a group home to house up to 16 in the Bountiful area. RENT SUBSIDIES will assist residents in living on their own with Dr. Williams asking anyone having a zone to contact acre site in south county in a his office. Federal Housing and Urban Development funding is utilized in facility construction. He noted mental healths federal affirmative action performance is substantially above" required levels. The number of minorities that should be hired by an agency is determined by their overall population in the county. two-thir- d multi-famil- y IN OTHER business, litigation is continuing on efforts to open an adolescent treatment facility in Clearfield, a program area thats been cited as needing correction over the past few years.

Time focuses on serious, old noteworthy people; Playboy focuses on who take off their clothes and speak of how Michael Jackson changed their life.
