Show C2 The Times-lndependen- Thursday, Feb. 24, 1983 t, New rates Career Day plans finalized; ton talent to be featured According to the latest count, Career Day speakers at Grand County High School now number 72 people. Twenty-on- e have volunteered to swell the ranks of local men and women donating their time and interest in career development for the third annual program set for the 3. of March morning Following a keynote assembly, at 8:40 a.m., each high school classroom will become the province of a particular career field, generally represented by three speakers with varied jobs in that field. During the course of the morning, students will have access to any four fields chosen from a list of more than twenty. Included in that list will be: architecturehome building; homemaking; heavy construction; art design; computers; ranchingnatur-a- l resources; doctorsdentist; therapy; cosmetology; electronics; engineering; education; financebanking; performing arts; law enforcement; media; military; mechanics; pro sports; social services; tourism; secretarial manbusiness agement; and truck driving. This years Career Day committee has placed particular emphasis on finding speakers who are sympha-theti- c with the teenage dilemma of PTSA-sponsor- ed own-your-o- student attitudes toward life after college. She realized how important it was for all students to prepare themselves for the changes that are bound to come into everyones life. Her research soon showed her that women could not afford to be exceptions to that rule. According to Utah statistics, few women escape the necessity of contributing to their own or their familys support at some time in their lives. Mrs. Clyde has spoken before numerous groups in the state and contributed to other career exploration programs. She taught English for 10 years at BYU and is curently Chairman of the Timpanogos Health Center and Chairman of the Advisory Committee to the Judicial Council of the State of Utah. Another Career Day feature this year will be an informal evening session beginning at 7 p.m. at the high school. Most of the morning speakers will be available for more extended conversation with interested individuals. This opportunity was arranged in response to student requests.

Some areas received about four or five inches of powder while others received just a trace. The folks in Castleton measured a foot of snow, forcing some residents like A1 and Ginny Duncan to stay home until the stuff melted. Alvie Johnston came to the rescue of many families there by clearing their driveways with his tractor and blade.

They left the Institute nearly five years ago to teach at similar schools; the Ozark Academy in Arkansas and Sunny-dal- e Academy in Missouri.

Strong winds whipped up waves estimated about six feet high about 6. p.m. on February 13 swamping the 16 foot runabout of Jerry Apalategui and John Massey, both 22. The two men grabbed into a floating ice chest and swam to shore, spending about 1 hour in the water. During the night a passing boat discovered the swamped boat, but failed to hear yells for help. Apaletegui and Massey spent a very cold night on the beach before they were able to flag down a passing tour boat from Wahweap Marina about 8:15 a.m. on Monday morning. Responding to the radio call for assistance from the Powell Princes?, a boat and crew from Wahweap Marina picked up the castaways and brought them back to the marina. National Park Service Medics treated the two men for severe hypothermia and transported them to Page Hospital. . Hibl on the violin, Don Davis, guitar and Mary Rogers on the guitar.

VISA Effective February 1983, a new rate structure will be in effect at San Juan Hospital for labor, delivery, and newborn services. A flat fee of $535 will be charged if a woman and her baby are discharged within 24 hours of the mothers admission. stay Previously, the cost of a with these services was $616. This fee will include use of labor and delivery rooms, external fetal and episiotomy if monitoring in the obstetric recovery needed, ward, and nursery services for the baby. Additional medications, meals for the mother, doctors services, and internal fetal monitoring, circumcision are not included in the set fee. Bill Reger, Chief Executive Officer of San Juan Health Care announced that the Services, made so San Juan were changes Hospital can remain competitive with other health care providers, such as delivery and birthing facilicenters. These ties are licensed to provide up to 24 hours of labor and delivery services for women with a low risk of obstetrical complications. They are not staffed or equipped to handle high risk women and their babies, or unexpected complications. Reger pointed out that these centers do not have to meet the same strict construction or hospital codes, so their costs are lower. For the same, or less, cost as a delivery center, women using San Juan Hospital Have access to hospital facilities, with back-u-p equipment and professional staff. This reduced rate is only available for stays up to 24 hours. Rates revert to the standard obstetric and nursery charges if a woman and her baby remain longer than 24 hours. Although our fixed costs are the same as with our previous fee of $616 for a short stay (24 hours), Reger said, we project that in the long run the increased volume of patients using this service will make up for our fixed costs problem.

But without much experience to fall back on, the initial question can be the most perplexing. By presenting a kaleidoscope of careers for students to consider, the PTSA works to reinforce the value of educational preparation, Mrs. Sterry said. To emphasize that GCHS graduates have, indeed, gone in many adventurous directions from the school, 15 of them will be returning on Career Day to talk about their former career paths.
