Show Page Two - The Pyramid - December 29, 1993 A Penny s liVorili By Penny Hamilton Diabetic classes to be offered at Sanpete hospital A good reason Well, its almost a new year, and with that comes the dreaded "R" word -- - resolution. Most of us associate the word with a list of things we promise to do in the coming year, or things we promise never to do again. Its a nice thought, and sometimes thats all it is Helpful hints for happy 94 MT. PLEASANT Sanpete Home Care services is offering a comprehensive diabetic treatment program specifically designed for anyone diagnosed with diabetes. The program consists of five classes taught by a physician, nurse, dietitian, exercise specialist and pharmacist. Topics covered will be, "What is diabetes?", "Personalized Meal Planning", "Blood Glucose Testing and Why?", "Gaining Control With Insulin or Pills", and "Benefits of Exercise." Classes will begin Tuesday, Jan. 4 and run five consecutive Tuesdays from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Sanpete Valley Hospital Board Room. There is no age limit. 1 or Register by calling unless... ...youre that exceptionally dedicated person who actually remembers you made resolutions after January and even more incredibly, checks off the last thing on your list before December. How many resolution keepers are out there? Come on, raise your hands? Thats about what we thought. Oh, we know your intentions were good. So were ours. This year, before actually making a resolution, it might be a good idea to do what English teachers everywhere encourage look it up. You will find that resolutions arent about starting, but about finishing. (And you dont have to finish first, you just have to finish). It doesnt have as much to do with making lists as it does with making amends. After consulting Webster, we decided we liked his third definition best: to resolve a problem. We all have problems. Wouldnt it be great if every January first, we set out to resolve just one? What if one argument were settled per person per year? Thats a lot of "resolution" with a lot of year left to go. And you wouldnt even have to write a list. What if, on January first, Clinton and Congress met halfway, "right wing" and "left wing" were part of the same bird, and Lucy held the football for Charlie Brown - and he didnt miss!? What if Bethlehem became the place of peace it started out to be, color was only noticed for its beauty, and "arms" meant the limbs used for hugging? What if I apologized and you accepted without judgement, conditions, or explanations? What if the leaders of the conflicts sat around a common table and talked about the futures of their respective grandchildren on this planet? What if you took the word "less" off the end of the word "home", and gave them one? What if we let the dishes go for one night and play a long game of "Sorry". It we need a good reason for resolutions, we have it. Its 1994. 462-343- toll-fre- e -- - Six-Coun- -y elected leaders, businessmen, officials and rural development leaders in the area.

Third, plan a way to avoid interruptions. Set aside a time each day when you can work without distraction. (This is easy, Ill just take the phone off the hook and lock the door, or maybe I can set my alarm for 3 a.m. and work when everyone else is asleep). Fourth, be ruthless about clutter.

The measure passed the House of Representatives but the Senate passed an amendment granting a moratorium so a more viable plan could be presented. A letter from Interior Secretary Babbitt, though, claimed the moratorium had been lifted. Included in the bill, but receiving little attention except from those who really delved into the matter, was the Administrations plan to take over water supplies if their sources were on federal land. This would preclude the western states rights to administer water supplies within their own boundaries and would affect municipal water systems. Reconstruction Mt.
