Show WEEKLY REFLEX-DAV- IS NEWS JOURNAL. MARCH24, 1977 D B By ROSELYN KIRK Funding for equipment necessary to set up the paramedic program in Davis County may be forthcoming if the county can justify that one million dollars is needed to set up paramedic services in the north end of Utah. RICHARD ABBOTT, state representatfrom the State Paramedics Advisory Council said the chances are good that Davis County can get a portion of the money requested. The dollars in funding which will be awarded through a Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) grant will be allowed to provide an advanced life support system, Mr. Abbott urged the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Council to write support letters which would confirm the need for funds in Davis County and indicate their willingness to dedicate such soft match support as vehicle maintenance, volunteer time, uniform allowance and fringe benefits. MR. ABBOTT said that the success of the request will be based on the ability of the State Paramedic Councils ability to come up with the verbage necessary to The justify the grant to Davis County. letters from the EMC Council, elected city and county officials will be necessary to show the county needs, in addition to the resources that are currently available to the county. ive Utah has received grant funds from HEW under the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Systems Act of 1973 to upgrade emergency medical services throughout the state. Salt Lake City and county have been the target area for funding under this act the last two years, Mr. Abbott said. Now funding will be concentrated in the northern end of the state. BASIC LIFE support system funding has been available on a limited basis for the north end of the state, but the current anticipated HEW assistance could include money for vehicles, a defibrillator, high gain antennas, portable radios, tone boards for paging, telemetry transmitter, telemetry receiver and decoder. Mr. Abbott said the figures of the total equipment needs will be submitted and the chances are we will get part of the grant. The county will have to match funds, on a 50 percent basis. They will be distributed through the State Department Assigned To Lowry AFB of Health. DAVIS COUNTY will not be notified whether grant for emergency medical services has been approved until June 30, Mr. Abbott said. In other business the EMS Council heard reports from six committees indicating what progress is being made in setting up facilities in the county in readiness for the paramedics program which hopefully will be initiated before the end oi the year, according to Dr. Jan Freeman, charman of the council. Airman AIDING RAPTORS The Golden Eagle, shown above, as well as many species of raptors are common residents of Utah and can be seen frequently throughout the year. HOWEVER, winter brings many additional eagles and hawks, including the majestic Bald Eagle, which migrate to Utah from more northern regions. The protection of these magnificent birds of prey has been vigorously encouraged based on regularly scheduled raptor surveys which are made on established routes throughout the state by Division personnel. Raptor mortality is also carefully monitored. For example, during the calendar year 1976, 152 raptors were reported injured or killed in Utah. during the past several decades. Consequently, the Utah Division of Wildlife OBVIOUSLY many deaths but the go unreported, Division is trying to gather as much information as possible. POPULATION trends are Approximately 50 raptors were nursed back to health during 1976 through the combined efforts of Mrs. Stellanie Ure and the Division of Resources has established a program in which data on raptors is gathered on a regular basis.

Selection, training and integrity are goals ot police departments internal management today. KEEPING the police out of politics is necessary to assume a high degree of professionalism within the police department. The policemen of today cannot enforce the law in a mechanical way because the justice system is not adequate to handle all violators. Police do not have personnel or resources to catch all violations of law. FOR THESE reasons the policeman has to exercise discretion in the laws which will be enforced and against whom. The police department must set up a system of priorities which concentrates on the most serious offenses. In addition, a high percentage of police time is spent on "service to community residents, responding to telephone calls for assistance for problems such as family arguments, wild animal control and the like.
