'!.J1 fffTIlftM let Gilda Nelson do it If you think you're going to be a little too tipsy by the end of New Year's Eve to successfully navigate an auto, there may be hope. For a nominal fee, Gilda Nelson and her crew will drive you home from your party. There, too, if you desire. Nelson's service came to our attention here at the Park City Newspaper when she placed a classified ad in last week's edition which read : "DRIVE YOU HOME NEW YEAR'S EVE ... On-call driving service for Park City vicinity New Year's Eve. Enjoy your party and don't worry about a ticket. Your car or ours. Only non-drinkers driving. $10 one way, $15 round trip. For pre-appointments 649-7710 or call when needed on New Year's Eve." Nelson says her inspiration for instituting the service came from watching the government-sponsored television commercials advising party hosts to not let their guests drive home snookered. "Utah's strict drunk driving laws shouldn't be messed with," she advises. "Everybody likes to go out nnA hum a cierA timo An impw Vpai-'s Eve I know I'm totally wasted on New Year's Day if I go out to these parties where you have cocktails before dinner, drinks with your meal and more drinks afterwards," says Nelson who will wait to celebrate this year until New Year's Day. "We just want people to be able to go out and have their fun Friday night and, for a small fee, we'll make sure they get home safely." Nelson guarantees guaran-tees that all drivers she sends out will be qualified and fully insured. She says she will take calls virtually anytime New Year's Eve, but unless business is extremely heavy, - she plans to call it quits about 2 a.m. "It's gonna be fun," she says, completely confident that their workhorse four-whell drive Subaru will be able to handle the bulk of the requests. "For the fee mentioned in the ad we'll take up to four people one way to one address. If they want, we'll come get them at their party and bring an extra driver to drive their car home.

Clinic from 1 agenda before new commissioners Ron Perry and Cliff Blonquist, who have expressed support for the clinic in the past, and incumbent officeholder office-holder Gerald Young. The clinic discussion is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon at 4:30, according to the facility's director, Diana Maxell. She added that all interested county citizens should attend the session. So where does all this leave the clinic, and its staff of three employees? em-ployees? Maxell says the rent on the building has been paid through January. "We want people to know we're still in business. The staff is willing to miss a payroll or two," said Maxell. But they can't work for long beyond the next pay period due on January 15th. Help won't be coming quickly even if the new commissioners approved a contract, according to Health Director Frank Singleton in a KPCW interview. After public notices and county budget hearings, he said, the money would reach the clinic sometime between Jan. 14 and 21. The clinic's troubles began last August when a federal decision at the department of Health and Human Ser vices took grants going to the Park City Community Clinic and Planned Parenthood of Utah and transferred them to the authority of the state. The state policy is to deal with local units of government. Acting in accord with that policy (they thought), the county commission met in early November and voted to approve direct funding from the state to the clinic. But two weeks ago, the state health department vetoed that arrangement, saying the county must enter into a contract as middleman to supply $2300 through the funding period that ends next June. Dr. Mason said the state's action was backed up by an opinion from the attorney general's office and "legislative intent" language. Commissioner-elect Cliff Blonquist pointed out there are still unanswered questions about the contract. "Does it leave the responsibility with the county?" coun-ty?" he asked. "Will it be abandoned through the state level? If money runs short, who will make up the difference?" differen-ce?" To help answer those questions, Health Director Singleton negotiated possible contracts with the state and Maxell's clinic and submitted them to the commission on Tuesday. Among other things, commissioners questioned a provision in the contracts that the county must provide training and technical assistance to the clinic. According to County Clerk Reed Pace, the county attorney advised it would be best if the commission returned retur-ned to its original position asking the state for direct funding. The bottom line, said Pace, is that the county can't be sure the state will support the clinic on a steady basis. "They could cut back their funding," he said. Maxell said her contract anticipates this problem. A clause says that if the, money from the state falls short, the county is under no obligation to make up the difference. But Singleton pointed out, "I think the commission realized that if they take responsibility for the clinic, it doesn't matter what the language says." It would be politically embarrassing em-barrassing to abandon it. "They'd look like the bad guys," Singleton added. Maxell said she is optimistic about the new commission. "Cliff Blonquist understands the need for the clinic," she said. And for his part, Ron Perry told the Park City Newspaper, "Whatever we can do to pass through the money to the clinic, that would be my option."
