The board will look also at the manner in which the division of occupational and professional licensing treated two dentists, brothers Brent Hansen and Kent Hansen of Spanish Fork, who were suspended Aug. 17 for alleged improprieties. A federal judge lifted the suspension because state regulators failed to show the dentists posed immediate danger to the public. The division accused the two of improprieties including improper dispensing of controlled drugs, improper use of nitrous oxide, improper sexual contact with patients and incompetent dental practice. Dr. Robert Frampton of the Utah County Medical Society expressed concern over the dentists' rights, since their licenses due-proce- ss were suspended before an Oct. 4 revocation hearing before the State Dental Board.

The letter to Hatton-Warsigned by Johnson on behalf of Police d, Chief Michael Chabries, states: "An investigation relative to numerous and very serious breaches of police rules and regulations on your part has just been completed.

The letter, which does not specify any allegations, orders Hatton-War- d to be suspended with pay and says that a hearing will be scheduled soon. Hatton-War- d contends the department has been trying to fire him since he made allegations that the detective division failed to follow-u- p on leads he developed regarding the deaths of several young women slain between 1985 and 1986.

In May, Hatton-War- d and the former crime analysts filed a petition in the Utah Court of Appeals asking that the police department be forced to answer why they haven't followed up on leads that the three have given to homicide detectives. The petition was thrown out by the court, which said it did not have jurisdiction. The Utah Attorney General's Office and Salt Lake County attorney's and sheriff's offices said they found no evidence to support the employees' allegations. Hatton-Ward- 's attorney, Suzanne Dallimore, said she has been negotiating with the police department and was seeking to protect Hatton-War- d through the whistle-blower laws that protect public employees from wrong-doin- retaliation for exposing g. Meantime, city police officials also have suspended Sgt; Mike Fierro and Officer Dennis Nelson pending an administrative investi- . gation.

On Sunday, Nelson reportedly threatened an officer friend jof Fjer-ro- 's after finding the woman's and Fierro's cars at the third officer's house, and allegedly flattened tires on Fierro's and the woman's vehi' ' ' cles, the sources said.

Hatch when he claimed the Health Department is taking patients away from doctors by offering subsidized care for pregnant women, infants and children who are disadvantaged. Hatch, a pediatrician from Logan, cited the "Baby Your Baby" prenatal program, federal "WIC" nutrition program and low-coimmunizations provided through the Utah Department of Health as unfair means of competition. His suggested the UMA request that the Health Department "discontinue public media advertising, gist Bill Bates, whose father Jim, a retired DWR biologist, captured the first Nevada otter this week. "We tried basket traps used to catch Beaver, but we missed a few. Then, we put out large floating traps with live fish. We couldn't get the otters to go into them. Finally, we've used a padded leg-hotrap that Alaska has used to catch 120 otters for Nebraska. They've had only one dislocation and no broken bones using the trap." ld The project is being financed largely through an "Adopt-an-Ot-teeffort. Groups such as the Utah Audubon Society, Bridgerland Audubon Society, the Wasatch Mountain Club, Utah Wilderness Association and the Utah Trappers r" U&Ei Association have all contributed. j "This is something diverse groups ' can agree with," said Bates;, who donations needed are still for says the project. "The trappers Jfho donated the money wanted .Un be involved in a conservation project. They realize they'll probably never be involved in trapping them. They just want to see them in the state." The biologist said there was little opposition to the transplant from Green River anglers. Though .the otters are expected to eat mostly suckers and carp, ."they will consume an occasional , trout. The DWR was required to complete an environmental assessment, before the transplant was allowed: and fishing guides were contacted.'

' "The report released Thursday by the Office of Legislative Auditor General said suggested lawmakers appropriate $200,000 to $300,000 in seed money so that public and higher education can hire more Workers to coordinate purchasing 'practices. Given the $160 million spent last year for food and supplies in state schools, the seed money will yield a high rate of return, said Auditor ' General Wayne Welsh. "For the last several years people have been taking time out of their jobs or working on a volunteer basis to improve purchasing practices," said Welsh. "More staff is needed for us to move ahead." . Auditors gave educators high marks for using more state purchasing contracts, but said even more buying should be done through the state. Last year state contract purchas. es totaled over $10 million for public education, while in 1985 purchases were $8.3 million. Higher education bought $5 million through state contracts in 1985 while last year the amount increased to $13 million. In responding to the audit, Wm. Rolfe Kerr, state commissioner for higher education, said he will support future efforts to increase state contracts, and he thanked investigators for the audit. t. James R. Moss, state superintendent of schools, said the report Appears to be much more positive than previous legislative audits. "This is an improvement that should prove to be more constructive and effective for all agencies audited by your office," he said. 3 now through September 28, save 40 on your purchase of a complete pair of prescription glasses. we ll help you select quality frames and the correct type of lenses for your prescription.
