WITH THE recent passage of alcohol taxes by the state legislature, the county is likely to receive about $150,000 to fight the problem. County officials, therefore, have been working to form a comprehensive plan to use these funds most efficiently. The State Division of Alco- holism and Drugs approved the countys plan last week which includes programs for both the school district and the general public. THE PLAN consists of five priorities. The first priority is to reduce alcohol and drug use by youth. Statistics show that over half (54 percent) of Davis have County 12 to used alcohol or drugs for nonmedical purposes at one time or another. At any given time, 26 percent could be classified as cur rent users. These statistics are of particular import in Davis County where 45 percent of the population is age 19 or younger. THE COMPREHENSIVE plan includes training for both elementary and secondary school teachers in Alcohol and Drug Prevention education. The teachers who qualify will receive 24 hours of instruction e from two prevention half-tim- specialist hired by the county. Their goal is to instruct nearly 800 teachers in the next two years. The plan also includes several community based services. Parents of adolescents will be able to attend one of k four parent traineight-wee- ing courses on prevention and recognition of alcohol or drug problems. k EIGHT cycles of the Juvenile Alcohol School will also be conducted for teens and their parents referred through the juvenile court e for drug or alcohol five-wee- first-tim- offenses. Since juvenile drug and alcohol offenses often stem from stress, frustration, insecurity or peer pressure, the Adolescent Drug Offenders Group will be teaching offenders appropriate alternative skills for dealing with these problems. Six eight-wee- k nics are planned. cli- ten radio public service announcements on the misuse of prescription drugs. The countys third priority deals with the social stigma attached to drug and alcohol abuse problems. According to THE COUNTY also plans to encourage student groups interested in combating substance abuse. The plan includes representation on the Governors Council on Youth and Alcohol. the report, these powerful societal attitudes inhibit or prevent people from seeking Speakers on alcohol and drug related topics will provide about 50 hours worth of presentations to school and community groups also. THREE WILDERNESS sur- vival experiences have also been recommended for youth identified by the juvenile court or school counselors as high risks for developing alcohol or drug problems. The countys second priority for alcohol and drug funds is to decrease the misuse of prescribed drugs, particularly by senior citizens and women. PROGRAMS will include a help. -- TO INCREASE awareness of the problems and facilitate use of treatment services, the plan recommends using volun- hile driving within the past 30 days when the survey was psycho-soci-al drama troupe to educate community members about their role in alcoholism and drug problems.

NON-PROFI- T 10-1- Foundation Pres. Loralee Despain notes there have been numerous reports where participants have improved By MARK FOTHERINGHAM - FARMINGTON Well, now what do we do? That seems to be the question flood control officials are throwing around a lot lately. As crews start to rebuild, the county is wondering what is the best way to avert future property damage if high runoff should continue to be a problem. WHETHER OR not we liked the way she did it, Mother Nature has opened up our channels for us, said County Commissioner Harold Tippitts. One of the biggest problems during peak runoff periods was that culverts and gates had been placed in the streams that were too small to handle the flow. Com. Tippetts suggested a moritorium be placed on any structure being placed in the channels or drainage ways without approval from flood, control officials. WE SHOULD make sure that whatever goes in is sized properly, according to our collective judgement, he said. "We must protect our channels. Com. Tippetts requested city and county planners to reevaluate their ordinances dealing with administering stream channel constraints. He said people should know that if they put something in the stream without government approval, it is going to be tom out. OFFICIALS may be able to prevent some building in the streams. It will be harder, however, to keep people from building near the water ways. One thing this situation has clearly demonstrated is how foolhardy it is to build near the stream beds, said Com. Tippetts. Because of the aesthetic value ot a stream, however, he indicated that there had been some resistance to any further proximity restrictions. Weve had a tremendous education on the need for preparedness in the county, said Commissioner Harry Gerlach. Were more emergency oriented now. I'm sure we will be more generous as far as the budget goes for preparedness from now on. ONE PROBLEM that needs to be addressed for the future is knowing what and where different pipelines are laid. When crews tried to dig an emergency drainage channel along 500 West in Bountiful, they ran into pipes that no one knew were there. More and more lines are said going into the ground, Com. Tippetts. We need a central clearing house or library set up so we know where all the pipelines are and what is in them. tion independently were not coordinating their activities with the Emergency Operations Center in Farmington. There has been talk for several years about linking all the cities from a central radio dispatching unit in Farmington. The problem has been finding a place to put an antenna that will be able to broadcast county-wide. Officials are looking at Antelope Island as a possible location. TO MAKE it work, will take a tremendous amount of money and cooperation from the cities involved, said Com. Tippetts. Mayor Lawrence Urry of Woods Cross also suggested that the cities and county probably need more frequency allocations to use in Several nrn Erensen g Ornamentals com- Love Seats Chairs Settees Backdrops Satin Flowers West Bountiful Mayor Grant Secrist criticized his citys big brother to the East for rumors that a 30 foot wall of Accessories Tor Weddings and Parties FOR REMT mud was coming at them when Stone Creek flooded. 3 Whos Who Co-o- p Credit FORMERLY known as the Davis Farm official Union Credit Union, it has been reorganized, says Russell Buhler of Kaysville.
