Show Prevention the key for county nursing The Summit County nurses nur-ses are not paid to wait for sick or injured patients to come to them. The focus instead in-stead is on preventative medicine, according to Nursing Nur-sing Supervisor Nancy Ann Chartier. With three nurses working under her, Chartier goes out into the county to test blood pressure, runs well-child clinics, and seeks to have the county 100 percent immunized. im-munized. Preventive programs pro-grams include everything from teaching the Heimlich maneuver for aiding a victim choking on food ("a cafe coronary she called it), to conern about the careless, on-the-go eating habits of Park City residents. Money from the Utah State Department of Health provides half her budget, and it is used for three specific programs: Hypertension Screening: Chartier said her staff intends to perform blood pressure tests on at least 2,220 people, concentrating on industrial areas. "We're going to the mines, restaurants, saw mills, and oil rigs," she said. Her hypertension program recently received a state grant of $4,200, she said, a $200 increase over last year, at a time when her other programs (and all other local health departments), are being cut back. "Our grant was targeted on the right groups," she explained (Incidentally, May is High Blood Pressure Month. ) Immunization: "We're going to be as close to 100 percent vaccinated as you can get," Chartier said. A recent state law requires vaccinations for people moving in from out of state and for children before they enter kindergarten. Chartier said she has received a $1,500 grant from the state to update the vaccinations for people that were missed by the law. Another law in this year's legislature proposed immunization im-munization for all school grades, but it failed. Chartier Char-tier said she hopes county schools will adopt the rule in their, district j ordinances. Last year, she said, the county innoculated 200 children in Park City, and they recently shot 196 in Coalville. In addition, the state buys flu vaccine, which it rations TENTATIVE AGENDA FOR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETINGS Meeting to be held 1. Director's Report: a. Planning Commission Procedures. b.

Chartier said her department is getting get-ting 350 dw- h used for high risk target groups. But Health Director Frank Singleton said 1981 is the last year the state will buy the vaccine. The government provides free immunizations for monthly mon-thly clinics. "If you immunize im-munize a significant number of people, you statistically lower everybody's chances of falling sick," said Chartier. Char-tier. The county vaccinates for measles, mumps, rubella, polio, diptheria, and pertussis. The program seeks to immunize people who are not under a regular doctor's care, or people who cannot afford to immunize their children. But the vaccinations vac-cinations are not restricted to these groups. Well Child Clinics: The program, handled out of a state department called Maternal Child Health, can provide the mother with first-rate first-rate medical and nursing care for her offspring, said Chartier. Four doctors working with the nurses handle a caseload of 500 children, checking height, weight, blood pressure, immunizations, im-munizations, etc. A newborn new-born child will receive six check-ups in the first year of A two-car collision on Park Avenue caused more than $1,000 in damages to each vehicle April 29. According to the police report, Katherine Garlington of Park City was driving south in the 800 block of Park Avenue in a 1976 Datsun. She apparently stopped for traffic, traf-fic, and was struck from behind by Randlyn Wilde, who was dring a 1974 Olds-mobile Olds-mobile Cutlass. Bruce Berger reported the theft of a bed spread, two cut glass mirrors, bedding, a picture and a leather pillow from his Snow Country condominium. con-dominium. Berger lives out of town, and had not been renting his unit. The theft of ' more than $700 worth of articles ar-ticles took place sometime after Easter. -The Star Hotel at 227 Main Street reported the theft of a watercolor painting pain-ting from one of the units May 2. No value was given May 13, 1981, 7:30p.m., Marsac School VILLAGE: Decision on life, and one every subsequent sub-sequent year. State funding, she said, has been cut from $7,800 to a little over $5,000. Clinics currently are held the third Wednesday of every month in Park City, the third Thursday in Kamas, and the fourth Monday Mon-day in Coalville (though the Coalville schedule may be changed). The Park City lifestyle, Chartier said, might contribute con-tribute to health problems. Nutrition and poor eating habits are at the root of many diseases, she said not just here but across the country. "I wonder how many households have a family-oriented, sit-down meal. Kids here are fed standing up, or in cars." Park City's fast pace and high-stakes business also could contribute to nervous tension. "But it wouldn't cause it by itself," she said. Chartier received her undergraduate un-dergraduate degree in public health nursing from the University of Wisconsin at Madison during that campus' cam-pus' turbulent 60s days. (She remembers returning from a late-night party and hearing the math building blow up). She has worked three months in public health under Singleton, and is studying for a master's in nursing ad for the art. Joe R. Davis of Heber was arrested April 25 and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. Police officers apparently observed Davis turning onto Hcber Avenue from Main Street and into the wrong lane of traffic. An oncoming car had to pull into the Tim-berhaus Tim-berhaus parking lot to avoid a collision. He was taken to the jail in Coalville and held on $250 bail. -Grant E. Schiff of Park City was arrested May 4 and charged with driving under the influence. The 19-year-old was driving a 1955 VW van south on Park Avenue, when police officers noticed he was driving erratically. He was taken to the Coalville jail and held on $250 bail. A 28-year old Wyoming man was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol May proposed PUD of 140 residential units in the RD and Estate Zones in Deer Valley outside the boundary boun-dary of the Deer Vallev Resort in the RD Zone 4. LITTLE BELL: Decision on proposed PI D of 2(t units as part of the Deer Valley Resort in the RD Zone. 5. ACORN APARTMENTS: Decision on 12 residential residen-tial units proposed as a conditional use in the RC Zone at 1314 Empire Avenue.

She supervises three nurses-Jane Kimball in Park City, Rose Bigelow in Kamas, and Nance Hutchinson Hutchin-son in Coalville. Half of their $62,000 budget this year will come from the state, and half from the county. The only hands-on treatment treat-ment they give is Home Health Care. This consists of follow-up care for people recovering from heart attacks, at-tacks, auto accidents, strokes, etc. Many of these are old people. Chartier said that while members of senior citizen's groups do a good job of watching out for each other, "there are a forgotten few only they are not a few who don't get involved in-volved with these groups," and need the home services. The nurses give first aid training and service at local schools. Aided by doctors from Holy Cross and Advanced Advan-ced Health Systems, they deliver maturation lectures to boys and girls groups. Chartier said they even have handled more child-abuse cases than the Prevention Center. "People trust nurses, nur-ses, I guess," she said. Chartier said the nurses are "jacks-of-all-trades." And she has plenty of evidence to back her up. i when he drove his car into the back of a parked van on Main Street. " Evanston resident Scott Froom apparently was driving north on Main Street about 1:30 a.m. when he drove his 1978 Chevrolet into a 1976 Chevyvan owned by Mt. Realty, which was parked in front of the Car 19 Restaurant. The impact pushed the van into two balcony support posts on the restaurant, causing more than $400 in damages to the pillars. Froom was taken to the Park City Health Clinic by local emergency technicians, techni-cians, and was treated for a head wound received when he struck the windsheild of his car, and for rib injuries. Froom, who was staying at the Holiday Inn, was released after being cited for driving under the influence. MOMS ARE GEEAT!
