For many people, these statements were' made out of guilt and fear because of some of the horror stories, and misconceptions, that may or may not have been true about nursing homes in the , s past However, in this day and age, nursing homes are highly regulated its the nursing home (the care of the new term is extended care facility (ECF) that is doing die an inspected, and with the rising cost of health care, sub-acu- te elderly. Cultural attitudes and reality seldom move on the same time table, and many times were tom between die reality of the present and the left over expectations of the past. The result is that we are forced to change our thinking and our actions. So in this day and age, with our busy lifestyles, how does one know when time to bite the bullet, realize the unreality of that boast we made, and place its our loved one in the ECF? This is a very hard decision for anyone to make, but it must be done when you see the caretakers exhausting themselves, family relationships deteriorating, or just simply not being able to provide for the special needs of our loved one at home on a 24 hour a day basis. It doesnt mean that your love, or responsibility, or concern, or involvement is being taken away these are all encouraged by your ECF; it means that the 24 hour a day special needs of your loved one can be met by professional staff, and you can stay involved with your loving relationship and support.

We can be now that the extreme attempts to rewrite the Mining Law have run out of time, Orton said. But well have another tough fight next year. Prop- erty Rights. In developing this years score, the coalition examined fourteen key votes in Congress on issues of significance to property owners. Three of the scored votes dealt with attempts to increase federal fees for ranchers who graze livestock on federal land, an another block of three votes dealt with attempts to overturn the 1872 Mining Law. On these and many other votes, Orton sided with private property owners. I not only voted with property owners on the mining reform, said I sponsored the bill that Orton. miners wanted - a bill that updated Assoication. There were an unprecedented number of attacks in Congress this year on the rights of landowners -- - it was great to have Bill Orton on our side. Orton was named Champion by the League of Private Property Voters, a coalition of over and sixty grass-roo- ts organization concerned with the rights ofprop-ert- y owners. Members of the coalition include People for the West, Citizens Against Wilderness, the Multiple Use Land Alliance, and the two-hundr- ed si v The coalition also named Orton a Champion for his recent efforts to prohibit the federal government from using the Endangered Species Act to diminish the value of private land targeted for federal purchase. On July 14, Orton joined a coalition of conservative Democrats and Republicans in passing an amendment to the California Desert Protection Act that prevents the federal government from devaluing land based on the existence of an endangered species. This vote holds critical significance for Utah, as we debate the issue of wilderness, Orton said. Orton hopes his message on private property rights gains more attention in the next session of Congress. I think well see a new Congress with more members of both parties with a greater understanding and concern about these issues. Hopefully theyll relize that these issues arent only important to the West, but to our entire nation's economic health." v . s It was once believed in Spain that copper grew in the ground and a mine left alone would regenerate itself. v j- fcVSoeC .... v a- $ M Main StnMGanmsonUSah Show Times: 7 & 9 p.m. $3.00 Adults $2.00 Children under I f' - wi'i r- v- - r: n t a n . ... .. b :,V. 1 .
