But fortunately, these victims' needs are the mission of an entire, if small, organization. Victim Advocates is an advocacy group that is on 24-hour call to come to the aid of these victims, informing them of their rights and providing information about available resources. Though the group works through the Summit County Attorney's Office, it funds itself primarily pri-marily through private and federal grants. 0" Thursday, the Summit County Commission authorized Victim Advocates' application for a $36,500 grant through the federal Victims of Crime Act. Following the commission signing, sign-ing, Victim Advocates Director Jeannie Edens spoke to The Park Record about her job.

But Edens is simplifying what is really a complex fusion of many skills. When Edens is awakened, often in the middle of the night, she heads straight to the scene of the crime. First of all, Edens needs to know the law. Many victims arent immediately immediate-ly aware of their rights. She also informs victims of their options for protective orders, court orders signed by judges that prohibit contact con-tact between people. Edens must also know the community com-munity resources available to victims. vic-tims. She tells them about then-options then-options for emergency assistance like shelter, as well as for paying legal and medical bills. Edens stresses stress-es that victims of abuse should find a counselor as soon as possible. While watching out for material and psychological needs, Edens also keeps in mind that the victims are also part of the scene of a crime. Victim Advocates helps administer "Code-R tests," in which a forensic nurse practitioner looks for evidence evi-dence on the victim that could be used in court to prosecute.

Now, the county also wants to make the application process for the transient room tax similar to the restaurant tax.

Victim Advocates is a net below which there is almost nothing to catch victims of rape and other abuses abus-es in Summit County. It was founded found-ed in 1994 as the Domestic Peace Task Force, which worked with the Peace House for victims in both Summit and Wasatch Counties. Two years ago, however, Summit County integrated the group into the County Attorney's Office. Many realize the value of the group. Before the Domestic Peace , Task Force, says Summit County Attorney Robert Adkins, "about the only thing we could do for them , was take them to the YWCA in Salt Lake." Adkins says Victim Advocates provides a valuable service to the county especially since they require very little (10-15 percent, he esti- ( mates) county funding. "They have been a real asset to us," he says. "A lot of victims dont , know what their rights are."
