CONFERENCE Parent-teache- County Sheriff's Department for creation of a Youth Bureau, according to Sheriff Art Redding. The money was provided by the Law Enforcement Administration Assistance and will be combined with a ten percent county match of $1,991. Some of the money will be used to hire a Youth Bureau deputy. The sheriff said that "easily over 50 percent" of all . crimes handled by the department involve youth. Redding said the Youth Bureau officer will work closely with schools and will investigate crimes attributed to juveniles. The deputy will also att and blood-typin- g in- struction on emergency resuscitation procedures and for breast cancer are a few of the activities planned, according to Robert Jex, hospital administrative assistant. A Don Knotts film will be shown on a continuous basis during the day for visitors and their children. Every one is cordially invited to help celebrate the birthday marking the beginning of the second year for the facility. ' a Cont. from page one Some figures give an indication in the increased use of the new hospital facility during September of 1977 as opposed to the first full month a year ago. The facility admitted 32 people during the month a year ago, but admitted 63 this September. It recorded 107 patient days in September 76 compared with 259 in September 77. Jex said the most dramatic increase has been in patient services conducted in the laboratory, facility and emergency room. "These three have doubled with the advent of new physicians," he said. A total of 95 people were serviced in the emergency room during September, compared with 51 a year earlier. "We're seeing 0 patients on a two-daweekend," Jex added. Jex is quick to point out that the three doctors who have established practices in the area have helped increase the usage of the facility in the past year. One doctor told Jex it has been "almost like there has been a backlog of people waiting to come in." Intermountain Health Care, the nonprofit corporation which operates and owns the new hospital now, estimated before the doors opened that the facility would have to average nine patients per day to meet expenses. The September census was just at nine, which is "just about what we anticipated," Jex said. The increased patient census is not only in numbers, but in the types of patients, as well, the administrative x-r- 10-2- y Shoriff Gains VFW Honor Box Elder County Sheriff Art Redding was recently honored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars for outstanding law enforcement efforts in assisting veterans and the handicapp- ed.

The Youth Bureau deputy will have "more latitude" to work with youthful offenders than other deputies. The deputy will work with the parents of youthful offenders, churches and others. Tests are being administered by the department among applicants for the .Al4 f empt to "sell" law enforcement to the youth by helping them to "understand why we have to do things," Redding said. Redding hopes the Youth Bureau will be able to identify youthful defenders and deal with them before they get into the mainstream of crime. "I'm really happy with it," Redding said. "It's something we've needed for a long A $17,919 grant has been awarded to the Box Elder In conjunction with its one-yea- r birthday party Saturday, Oct. 15, the Bear River Valley Hospital will be offering a number of free screening tests to the public between the hours of noon and 6 p.m. Tests for glaucoma, blood pressure, Voter Hospital 14. rant fBureGinjj conference r will be held Friday, October Free Tests Offered At Hospital Sign-U- p assistant noted. Many more surgery patients are staying at the hospital which would normally have been sent to other hospitals. That's because "now we're able to keep more acute patients," Jex said. Coronary patients are a prime example. The new facility has also enabled surgeons to do more work locally. Two surgeons out of Logan operate on a regularly scheduled basis at the hospital and Jex said one more surgeon will begin the same thing. One surgeon said he would "rather do surgery here than in Logan because the operating theater is nicer." A number of new programs are on tap for the coming year as well. The hospital has recently instituted a patient-teachin- g program for coronary patients. "It doesn't do a bit of good to spend ten days in the hospital and not know what to do when you leave" after suffering a heart attack, he pointed out. "Pink Lady" volunteers recently went into operation as well. And, said Jex, "We could tell the difference the first day they were here,...We're working their tails off." Maternity classes for expectant mothers are scheduled to begin in December. The hospital also plans to put more emphasis on a preventative medicine program in the coming year, through such things as screening programs for glaucoma, high blood pressure and diabetes. A diabetes clinic held this year was a success, Jex noted. "We felt real good about that, ... and I think the people we screen out can appreciate it too," Jex said. The real answer, Jex noted, to spiraling health costs "is to nip these things in the bud." It costs much less to test a person for diabetes than it does to nurse someone out of a diabetic coma, he pointed out. Jex can also boast proudly that room rates at the facility are still lower than any other facility in the area. "The only reason I can see why someone wouldn't come here is if they didn't feel they could get the care," Jex said. "But, for most general acute care needs, we've got everything a facility could need." "It's just a matter of developing confidence," he added.
