New Year resolutions are easy to keep all year The New Year brings with it the hope and promise of a clean slate. Its an opfortune time to make changes in your life; to replace bad habits with more constructive behaviors. Such efforts are often defined by New Years resolutions, but these are not without risk. New Years resolutions can be troublesome, said August Alegi, group vice president of Government Employees Insurance Company (GEICO). You can set yourself up for disappointment if your resolutions are too hard to keep. Alegi suggests adding the folresolutions to lowing your list to help you enjoy a happier, healthier New Year. Resolve to be safer. Buckle up every time you get in a car. Maintain your car properly and check the brakes and tires regularly. If youre shopping for a new car, look for one with air bags, anti lock brakes and a good safety record. Resolve to save money. Re - More from Less?

If your car is getting on in years, full coverage may not make sense any longer; consider dropping coverage you dont need. Also, check with your insurer to becertain youre getting all the discounts to which youre entitled. Resolve to be more honest. A recent survey of more than 2,000 Americans showed that one person in five believes its OK to pad an insurance claim. The National Insurance Crime Bureau estimates the nations annual insurance fraud bill at more than $17 billion dollars. All policy holders pay higher premiums as a result; fraud accounts for about 10 cents of every premium dollar. Its not a long list, Alegi said, and these make good New Years resolutions, because anybody can keep them.

Do you Do you have questions or con- cerns about Utahs Radioactive Waste Management plan that will be presented by the Utah Legislature in a few weeks? Utah generates about 5,380 cubic feet of low level waste each year. All waste produced in eight western states, including Utah is now shipped to Richland, Washington, for disposal. Utah also is home to Envirocare, a western Tooele County radioactive waste facility, which receives soil and other slightly contaminated bulky materials resulting from the cleanup of mactive sites throughout the U.S. The state plan addresses radioactive waste minimization and recycling, reviews waste management funding alternatives and evaluates site procedures, waste treatment and disposal options.

FROM RICHFIELD CARE CENTER Watch for the many symptoms of delerium in elderly Elaine blackbum Administrator Delirium is an acute confusional state which is an indicator, or nonspecific symptom of a variety of acute, treatable illnesses. Delirium is a seniors problem, and it has high rates of incidence and death, if not recognized and treated appropriately. Delirium is never a part of normal aging. Its symptoms may be mistaken for the natural progression of dementia, therefore it becomes vital that the elderly person, and particularly the elderly person with dementia, be closely assessed for the occurrence of delirium. Symptoms may include: fluctuating states of consciousness, disorientation, confusion, decreased awareness of environment, behavioral changes, mind wandering, incoherent speech, illusions, hallucinations, and aimless physical activity. Onset may vary depending on severity of causes, and the individuals health status; however, it usually develops rapidly over a few days or even hours. Delirium is often caused and aggravated by multiple factors, and successful managementdepends on accurate identification and diagnosis of the specific causes, then prompt initiation of appropriate nursing and medical intervention. The most common causes are associated with circulatory, respiratory, infectious, and metabolic disorders; and many medications and drugs;, including alcohol taken alone or in combination can cause Some drugs that can delirium. cause delirium include psychotropic, cardiac, gastrointestinal, anal- gesics, - and counter drugs especially those such as cold remedies, sedatives, stay awakes, antinauseants and alcohol. After serious illness and drug toxcisity are ruled out as causes of over-th- e delirium, one most consider the possibility that the person may be experiencing some phsycosocial distress, including isolation, recent loss of family or friend, grief, depression, sad or anxious mood, recent relocation, and loss of independence. Sensory losses arid impairments, especially hearing and vision, can often produce signs of confusion and disorientation, as well as behavioral changes. These losses im- - pair the persons ability to accurately perceive or cope with environmental stimuli and can lead to hallucinationsdelusions and of the environment around. All caretakers of the elderly, whether in a medical facility or at home, must stay alert to the signs and symptoms of delirium and be ready to initiate prompt and appropriate interventions when or if delirium presents itself. bison are transplanted to Book Cliffs Twenty-eig- ht Last week, 28 American bison were transplanted from their Henry Mountain home to historical range on the Book Cliffs in Northeast Utah. They came off the mountain one by one, suspended upside down from a cable beneath the whirling rotors of a Hughes 500 helicopter. The huge beasts sailed from their Henry Mountains home to waiting grounds crews and horse trailers. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR), in cooperation with the Bureau of Land Management and the Ute Indian Tribe, removed 28 head from the Henry Mountains for relocation to Hill Creek Extension. There is now a small bison population there, but the Utes want to expand their herd, and requested the animals to beef up their breeding stock. A New Zealand helicopter service specializing in daring wildlife captures, was central in the scheme. The operation went something like this: The chopper located the animals from the air and swooped down on top of the stampeding herd. The gunner singled out an individual and jettisoned a net over its back. The bison promptly entangled itself in the net and rolled to a stop. The chopper sat down, and cres jumped out hobbled the animal, hooked it with a cable. After liftoff, the wide eyed bison was whisked into the air. Upon reaching the base of operations, the bison was swung into a small corral where it was ear tagged, unhobbled and loaded into a waiting horse trailer for the rest of its trip. This was the first time something like this has ever been done," said Jim Karpowitz, DWR regional game manager who masterminded the opWe were on pins and eration. needles the whole time, worrying about the safety of both the bison and the crews. However, the transplant was successful. The Utes had provided hunters with access to the Book Cliffs Roadless Area along the Totem Pole Trail this year. The exchange was in part a pay back, for the tribes good will on behalf of Utahs hunters. Also herd size on the Heniys is negotiated with the BLM. The herd had exceeded the agreed upon population ceiling and needed cutting back. Removal of animals through hunting, natural mortality and the recent transplant is expected to bring the bison population to the negotiated limit.

Olsen, managing director of public affairs, issued the following statement on behalf of The Church of Jesus Christ of LatterSaints: -day Under the U.S. Constitution, government must not sponsor religion or coerce the choices of individuals in religious matters. It is equally important that government not be seen as hostile to religion or the religious exercises of its citizens. . The right to free exercise of religion should not be more restrictive in Utah or any other state than it is in the nation as a whole. Religion should continue to have an honorable place in the public life of our nation. There should be no bar to invoking and acknowledging the blessings of Almighty Godby prayer in public settings. This, of course, should be done iti a manner that respects the voluntary character of prayer and the religious diversity of the community. |
