There are office of-fice parties to attend. Family gatherings, holiday bashes, and merriment to be made. Many of us host parties at our homes and wonder just how we'll keep the life of the party alive. Actually, the number of lives of the party depends on how many guests are attending. The best way to make sure your guests get home safely after the party par-ty is to take practical steps before the party begins. Remember that you could be held legally responsible for what a drunk driver does. The Dram Shop Law is of concern to anyone that serves alcoholic beverages. In general, the Dram Shop Law allows injured persons to receive damages from anyone who provides alcoholic beverages which cause intoxication. As an adult hosting a party it's up to you to encourage en-courage responsible drinking because you care about your guests. Alcohol-related accidents killed 94 of our fellow Utahns last year. We never think it can happen to us or to our friends, but everyday drunk and drugged drivers are on our roads and killing or injuring one person every 20 to 25 minutes. If contributing to these overwhelming over-whelming statistics isn't your style, then here are some tips to party by from the Utah Division of Highway Safety. Always serve food with alcohol. High protein and carbohydrate car-bohydrate foods like cheese and meats are especially good. They stay in the stomach longer, which slows the rate at which the body absorbs ab-sorbs alcohol. Have several jiggers spouts at the bar to mix drinks. Guests are less likely to drink excessively ex-cessively when standard measures are used. If you serve alcoholic punch, use a non-carbonated base such as fruit juice. The body absorbs alcohol faster when mixed with car-bonation. car-bonation. Serve non-alcoholic beverages. It is possible that some of your guests will not want to drink alcohol. Many people are serving mineral water, exotic decaffeinated teas, non-alcoholic wine coolers, wine and low alcohol beer. Do not force drinks on your guests or rush to refill their glasses when empty. Some guests may not wish to appear rude and will accept drinks they do not want. Stop serving alcohol about two hours before the party is over. Guests then have time for their bodies to absorb the alcohol consum ed. Serve coffee or other non alcoholic beverages as well as food. If you observe a guest drinking too much: engage himher in conversation conversa-tion to slow down the drinking; offer high protein food; offer to make the next drink using less alcohol mix it with a non-carbonated base. Remember neither coffee nor a cold shower will help to sober someone up. Only time can do that. Alcohol affects different people different ways. Two beers will affect a 125-pound person differently than a 160-pound person. Body type, sex, mood, food eaten and other factors affect how your body will react to alcohol. After just a few drinks even the best driver can be impaired enough to injure or kill someone. Learn the facts about drinking and driving before you give a party. You can present your guests from driving driv-ing home drunk. Keep the life of your party alive. Local counties join in 'Project Teamwork' by DIANE CASHEL Record guest writer Summit County Prevention Center, Wasatch County Prevention Services and Mountain Community Health Choices joined efforts together and sponsored a seminar called Project Teamwork on Nov. 17, 1988. Project Teamwork has been developed by Governor Bangerter's staff and members of the Governor's Drug Advisory council along with the Utah Federation for Drug Free Youth and various sponsoring businesses. Project Teamwork was designed to encourage local involvement involve-ment in school programs to combat drugs and to encourage students to work together as teams in the fight against drugs in our school systems. Summit County and Wasatch County middle and high schools were asked to cooperate in Project Teamwork. Schools participating sent a team of volunteer students along with advisors to share in the seminar. Project Teamwork goals are to use these teams to develop an action plan so every school in Wasatch and Summit County will educate students and adults about drugs and wipe out drug use. By bringing together students, faculty and staff to combat drug use locally there is a greater chance of success. The seminar consisted of nationally national-ly known speakers on various subjects sub-jects that concern our youth today. Brent Ward, U.S. attorney for Utah, represented Gov. Bangerter and addressed ad-dressed the students on the fundamentals fun-damentals of Project Teamwork. Some of the other topics covered were Dynamics of Dependency, Stress and Natural Highs, Teen and Aids, Eating Disorders, DepressionSuicide Depres-sionSuicide and others. Toward the end of the seminar, each team of students from the different schools formed small groups and worked together to brainstorm ideas, projects, pro-jects, and activities that they could utilize in the schools by the teams. The team discussed topics, shared feelings and interacted with each other on the subject of drug usage in their schools. One of the main objectives objec-tives of the seminar is that the teams will go back to their respective schools and implement their ideas and activities to promote a drug-free school. The use of alcohol and drugs in our schools is increasing in alarming figures. Here are some of the latest statistics gathered by the National Institute on Drug Abuse : 1. One out of 20 high school seniors drink alcohol. 2. The average age of a student staring star-ing to drink is now 12.9 years. 3. Over six nercent of the 6th to 8th graders have smoked marijuana Kj and about two smoke it at least weekly. 4. One out of four high school seniors have tried stimulants without medical attention. 5. One out of four children in every classroom lives in a chemically dependent household. 6. One out of five high school seniors smokes cigarettes daily, one out of 10 chews tobacco. Although the drug problem is not as severe as that in many states, we must do all we can to lessen it even more. Projects like Project Teamwork Team-work will help us ensure that our schools are promoting a healthy lifestyle and are taking a stand against drugs.

Once a problem pro-blem reachs PRP, the office tries to solve it within five days. If that's not possible PRP keeps the taxpayer informed in-formed of the progress of the case until its resolved. Most complaints to Problem Resolution involved delayed refunds, mixups in social security numbers, or mistakes by IRS or the taxpayer. PRP will help if: 1. You have contacted IRS regarding the status of a refund at least 90 days after filing an orginal or amended returns. Subsequently, a second inquiry in-quiry is necessary. 2. You requested information or assistance more than 45 days earlier and have received no acknowledgement acknowledge-ment or final response. 3. You previously responded to a bill ing notice and now have a third or Qi suDsequeni nouix liiuicaimg inquired inqui-red action or a lack of action by IRS on your earlier response.
