| Show B2 The Salt Lake Tribune Wednesday July 31 1991 Prefer Female Sheriff's Sergeant Some Lawmakers Isn't Resting on Badge It's By Cherrill Crosby THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE By Jess Gomez THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE after achieving otie A day goal Kendra Her lin has set another vetOn Monday the eran law officer became the first woman in the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office to earn a sergeant's badge But she's not satisfied with thet accomplishment She would like to make lieutenant "I'm excited about being the first female field sergeant but that was my goal when I was hired on" she said "I guess my next goal is to be the first fe13-ye- male lieutenant" When she joined the sheriff's office more than 13 years ago that goal didn't look very promising The fact it took the office until 1991 to promote a female deputy to the rank of field sergeant hasn't been lost on Sheriff Aaron Kennard Mr Kennard who took over the reins of the department from Sheriff Pete Hayward last January says he is working to correct the gender inequalities that exist on the county force He says the promotion of Ms Her lin is a step in that direction hard to break from tradition and the Utah Legislature is no exception During a hearing Tuesday on ways to improve the legislative process some lawmakers balked at proposals to change the way their secretive Rules Committee operates Rules' members who are accountable only to themselves meet behind closed doors acting as a clearinghouse for bills that either die in committee or are sent out for public consideration The and long overdue "We have two excellent female correctional officers who hold the rank of sergeant but it's long past the time a female officer was promoted to a field supervisory position in this of- fice" Heflin a graduate of Kearns High School and the University of Utah will return to the area where she grew up and worked for eight years in the patrol division She is one of 150 deputies who tested for the sergeant's promotion "My mom always wanted me to be a school teacher but from the first time I served with the safety patrol in grade school I knew I belonged in law enforcement" she chuckled For the past five years Ms Her lin served with the major narcotics enforcement division and was lauded by supervisors for her work Other deputies promoted to rank of sergeant: L Jeff Carr veteran currently an working

would appeal the issue to the Utah Supreme Court if need be to capture $17 million in property tax from the health-car- e giant But Mr Stewart said the commission would not spend the money for protracted litigation on the issue Citing IHC's charitable donations and new standards formulated by the Utah Tax Commission for tax exemption Mr Stewart said a Supreme Court challenge would be expensive and unnecessary It appears that Mr Stewart will status to vote to grant IHC A second commissioner volunRandy Horiuchi a teer board member and paid lobbyist for IHC has yet to decide but

said Estimated property tax from IIICs five hospitals in Salt Lake pt County would add $35 million annually to county government coffers But since the issue has been held in limbo for five years $17 million to $18 million would be due if IHC does not gain tax-exem- pt status IHC officials said they give $6 million in charity medical care annually which meets the Utah Tax Commission standard for a charitable hospital The health-cargiant has an annual budget of $950 million and holds $260 million in various reserve funds The county attorney's office e contends the tax commission guidelines do not meet the standard set down by the Utah Supreme Court in the 1985 case of Utah County vs IHC Karl Hendrickson deputy county attorney said HIC is operated not as a charity but as a business with charity as an afterthought Despite Mr Hendrickson's opinion Mr Stewart said IHC deserves status because its service to indigents and others keeps county government out of the business of providing hospitalization for the less fortunate The odd man out on the commission Jim Bradley said Mr Stew-art- s statement surprised him Mr Bradley had welcomed the chaltax-exem- lenge to a commission

in northern Utah on Thursday he said Locally heavy precipitation is possible increasing prospects of flash flooding in susceptible canyon regions of southern Utah The approaching storm could lower Wasatch Front highs to s the Wednesday and near 90 Thursday Temperatures were a few degrees warmer Tuesday with Salt Lake City posting a high and a mid-90- low Officials Says Inmates Leashed for Control Continued from The men were placed in the unit based on their "past unpredictable behavior" Mr Carver said "If they physically assaulted staff or threw something — which is most commonly feces or urine — we wanted them in one section where we could manage them" The men are normally handcuffed with their hands behind their backs Individuals who "jumped their cuffs" or managed to move their hands to the front by stepping through their cuffed arms are now leashed Mr Carver said The leash is hooked to the inmates handcuffs and held by prison guards when the men are moved from their cells to recreation areas It is removed once they reach the recreation room Prison officials will telephone court offices for inmates to obtain hearing dates Mr Carver said But if an inmate wishes to speak with his attorney he must place a collect call when he is out of his cell "Most of the time they make nuisance calls to the attorneys" Mr Carver st id "If the attorney has to pay they only accept impiyrtant calls" B-- 1 ----- The inmates in administrative segregation also have been involved in "trashing" the unit Mr Carver said "They used newspapers and magazines and toilet paper to light fires" he said "We restricted their bulk mail to stop it" s Inmates still receive mail because they rarely use personal letters to start fires and they can have books in their cells he said Shampoo bottles also were removed because inmates shake up the liquid and squirt it on officers The men do have soap deodorant and a brush and comb in the cells Shower bags containing shampoo fingernail clippers and a razor are available when the men are released to shower Each inmate is told why he was placed in the unit and what he must do to leave Mr Carver said They are automatically reviewed after 14 days "Thtty can advance off of it" Mt Carver said "We will review them at almost any time they request it" first-clas- |
