Show Oops, we goofed There were several errors re- lated to the Southeast Applied Technology College in a May 4, 2005 article by Buckley Jensen entitled, Blanding Centennial Efforts Accompanied by a Remarkable List of Community Improvements. The article states: A new 40,000 square foot Applied Technology Center presently under construction east of the high school parking lot is being financed by CEU, but will be of great value to San Juan High students, and the public. The building is being constructed by the Southeast Ap- plied Technology College (SEATC). The SEATC is not a part of CEU, but is an entirely separate entity. The first phase of the building is approximately 3500 square feet and is being built by funds raised by the SEATC and a grant from CIB. The building will serve high school students, as well as adults. CEU is not a participant in the construction or operation of this facility. Next: Six beautiful new THE SAN JUAN RECORD Wednesday, May 11, 2005 homes built by the CEU building technologies department. The homes were built by the Southeast Applied Technology College building trades program. The SEATC partners with CEU in allowing some students to earn CEU credit for attending the course. San J uan High also partners in this program and its students can earn high school credit. There are also adult students that receive a skills completion certificate through the SEATC program. This is a good example of the partnerships in our area. Nevertheless, the program is offered and funded by the SEATC. The SEATC has been housed at the CEU-Sa- n Juan campus, along with USU, for seven years. A facility to offer computer courses and programs is located at 500 South and 700 West. However, administration offices for SEATC continue at the CEU campus. We apologize for any misunderstanding caused by our er- rors. Look for an article about the SEATC in the future. A Page 7 Health Care relationships continue to deteriorate That was the worst public meeting I have ever attended. These were the words of San Juan Health Service Board member Doug Allen after the tirely different. Supporters of the Health Care district look at the 2001 arrival of CEO John Hart and Financial Officer Lyman April 26 meet- of ing health Duncan, along with doctors of internal medi- the care board in Monument Valley. Allen added that the board seems determined to destroy everything that has helped the health care district succeed in the past three years, despite significant opposition. The rhetoric has become extraordinarily nasty in recent meetings, although most of it, apparently, has been behind closed doors in executive session or in other meetings. cine Reddy Rajani as Kat-kur- i, sig- naling a remarkable turnaround for the district. The work of the new arrivals, combined with the dedication of the established health care community, stemmed a series of significant financial losses to the district. Significant investments in high tech diagnostic equipment, along with connections with the University of Utah, has resulted in the districts best three-yea- r period of financial performance in many years.

The alternative point of view is diametrically opposite. Those with this view appear to form the majority opinion of the health care board. They state that the Health Care District has lost all credibility and needs a significant overhaul in order to provide a higher quality health care. If they belive an overhaul is needed, they may be getting their way sooner than later, as Drs, Reddy and Katkuri will e leave in and the board members appear to be using any pretext they can find to put overwhelming pressure on Hart and Duncan to resign. Many Health Care District supporters fear that the board is simply trying to eliminate those who have brought success to the operation, in an attempt to dismantle San Juan Hospital in anticipation of the promised (for ten years now) imminent arrival of the proposed Blue Mountain Hospital in Blanding. As stunning and absurd as this rhetoric may seem to those of us who see good coming from the Health Care District, that rhetoric is running rampant. mid-Jun- Remember, despite ten years of promises that a new facility is jvist around VYve corner, San Juan Hospital continues to be the only hospital providing services in San Juan County. I hope that a series of unfortunate events are not being put into place that would leave us without hospital care. In a time when hysteria and wild eyed accusation are everywhere, I hope that reason and good will will prevail.
