Show Page Two - The Pyramid - May 25, 1994 NS Seniors to graduate Thurs Crxuii-i- 4 NTARY Christensen, daughter of Mr. and Buckle up first by UHP Trooper Terry C. Smith The arrival of summer is almost here, with the first major . holiday of the season upon us. So what does this mean? It means its time for me to start bothering you folks who still dont think its important to wear a seat belt or to put your children into safety seats. So here I am. Memorial Day is considered the first day of summer by most people and, as such, we make plans for long excursions and camping trips to our favorite spots. Make sure you allow plenty of time to reach your destination and that you are rested before you leave. There have been quite a few major accidents this year where people we know, as well as those just traveling through, have been seriously injured and even killed. The major cause of most of these accidents has been fatigue and driving too many hours. As we start the driving season, lets remember to make sure we BUCKLE UP first and foremost. Then make sure you give yourself plenty of time and that you are well rested--i- t will still be there even if you take your time to get there. Besides, if you slow down and enjoy the view, you might see something you may have missed all these years. We, as members of the Utah Highway Patrol, will be working to see that you have a safe and enjoyable summer. Editors Note: Four Utahns may die in traffic accidents this Memorial Day weekend, according to the Utah Safety Council. Over the past five years, 22 people have died during this holiday period, which officially begins at 6 p.m. on Friday, May 27, this year and ends at 11:59 p.m. on Monday, May 30. Excessive speed is the number one factor associated with traffic deaths. The Utah Safety Council also cautions to: Dont drink and drive. If you plan to drink alcoholic beverages, designate a driver who wont be drinking. Fasten children into approved child safety seats. Have your vehicle inspected and tuned before long trips. Keep a safe following distance; dont tailgate. You should be one car length behind the vehicle you are following for every 10 mph you are traveling. Slow down in bad weather, turn on your headlights and increase the distance between you and the vehicle ahead of you. . Letters Health reform costs may come from poor, elderly Dear Editor: Far removed from life in 'the country, Congressional committees in crowded Washington rooms are now debating how to fund massive health care reforms. Most .of the major health reform plans being proposed by the Administration and congressional lawmakers rely on significant reductions to Medicare and Medicaid the programs that care for the poor and elderly to finance health reform. For example, the Administrations plan would reduce Medicare spending about $118 billion by the year 2000. Of that, Utah hospitals, who care for our older population, could lose about $51 million. By previous actions. Congress has nearly reduced Medicare spending by $99 billion over an r period. Hospitals are seriously concerned about funding health reform by singling out two of our eight-ye- ar most valuable population groups the elderly and the poor, to pay for changes in the system.
