Show 'ir Emery County Progress, Castle Dale, Utah CEU scholars meet benefactor The College of Eastern Utah students received a special visit from Dr. and Mrs. Geno Saccomanno, and Lenna and Steve Watson in These Board members came to the college to talk with 17 students whp are attending CEU on scholarships given to them from the Saccomanno Higher Education F oundation. Dr. Saccomanno grew up in Spring Glen where his parents owned a small farm. His wife, Virginia, was born in New Mexico and moved to Spring Glen where she grew up. Dr. Saccomanno attended Carbon High school and went on to the University of Utah where he received his bachelors degree in biology in 1940. 3 Cancer will stride sin locals mid-Octob- IS ed a agars some sses- - tothe half, the on a even got y be-sta- te, had Saccomanno .was advised to get more education.

Along with all y this, he also developed the services in many west-er- a Colorado and eastern Utah hospitals, including the Price , Hospital where he served as a visiting pathologist - save er d ei-Th- at ay at icket lew, and p.m. be-ou- rt. t h) dur-ingfib- er , City-Coun- ty during 'the 1950s through 1970s.

River Gas has approximately 200 producing methane gas wells on state and private land ' on its field south and west of Price. BLM officials estimate an additional 550 to 600 could be : drilled on public land. Similar wells are being studied for develpment on BLM land in Emery County. Texaco and Chandler oil companies could drill as many as 350 wells around Castle Dale. A separated environmental impact state will be prepared covering those well. It could be ready in about 18 months. Each well is typically 2,000 to 3,000 feet deep and takes only two to three days to complete.. We are only in the throws of development right now, explained Manus. Once they are drilled, we need to inspect . them, and thelhonitoring and .enforcement begins. Manus said River Gas has been good to work with as the two organizations work at de- . veloping the field. Weve both been in a learning curve, said Manus. They have had to reinvest money sometimes on new archaeological clearances or build a new road into a site. We havent ing it in such a way as to retain as many of the values as we BLM wildlife biologist, David Mills said he believes a decent progressing on a $100,000 socioeconomic impact study for the county. BLM officials hope ' Emery Cofin officials 'are drawn a line in the sand or working up front to help mitigone head to head on any of gate as many of the impacts to the county as they can. Work is this. compromise has been reached for drilling on critical deer and elk habitat in the Gordon Creek area. The EIS calls for no drilling in the most critical areas and migration corridors will be left to allow the animals to move from one area to another. Officials said they want to paint too rosy a picture about the development of the exten- 1 sive field. We dont want people to think there arent going to be any impacts, said Mills. Gas wells are not good for wildlife. We are making sure its as compatible as we can make it. BLM officials have their hands tied in some respects because the company has valid gas leases it can legally develope. But a lot of times wells can be located in a way that minimize the impacts to the deer and elk. There will be big impacts, stressed Mills. But we are do- - -, zette knows how important getting a higher education is. Many students dont have the money to continue their education after high school. So, in 1991, Saccomanno and his family established the Saccomanno Higher Education Foundation, a $3.5 million endowment that funds scholarships for deserving residents of Carbon County and Mesa County, Colorado. Each student who receives this scholarship is eligible to continue to receive assistance until hisher education goals are met. New awards will be made each year and approximately 10 percent of the earnings from the scholarships are earmarked for local students.

This technique is now used by many hospitals throughout the United States and other countries. Saccomanno, in cooperation with other physicians researchers in California and Canada, was involved in the development of the fluorescent bronchoscope. This instrument successfully designed and is used for localization and treatment of carcinoma He also development a small tube (Saccomanno Brush-Wasto aid in analyzing material from the tracheobronchial tree optic bronchoscope. Use of this tube results in total cell recovery, immediate fixation of the specimen, and monolayer slide preparations. The tube standardizes the technology and provides high quality diagnostic specimens. Despite all his research and success, Dr. Saccomanno still has a strong love for learning. He had to work hard to put himself through school, so he first planned on being a teacher, but who i yer Jones. Saccomanno funds! 7 student scholarships. much of what they have learned during development of the Carbon County field can be applied to the expansion into Emery County. BLM officials are working with the Emery County Public Lanrfe Council on expansion of the milling into Emery County. The two county commissions have agreed to work together to help minimize the impacts in both counties. Green River High School Student of the Week According to the American Cancer Society and the Utal Cancer Registry, in Utah alone lung cancer will kill 460 people this year, and 510 new cases will be diagnosed. Of those affected, six will be Emery County residents. Nationwide, since 1973 lung cancer deaths have gone up 20 percent in men and 159 percent in women. Symptoms of lung cancer include a persistent cough, sputum streaked with blood, chest pain and recurring pneumonia or bronchitis. Cigarette smoking is the leading risk factor in the development of lung cancer. Other factors include exposure to certain industrial substances such as arsenic, some organic chemicals, radon and abestos, and radiation exposure from occupational, medical and environmental sources. Air pollution, tuberculosis, and environmental tobacco smoke are also contributing factors to developing this disease. The American Cancer Society reminds Utahns of the dangers of using other types of tobacco such as cigars, chewing tobacco and pipe tobacco in addition to the dangers of smoking regular cigarettes. The American Cancer Societys 21st annual Great American Smokeout will be on Nov. 20. The Society sponsors other tobacco prevention and cessation programs throughouttheyear.
