Among those working with the commission are people like Bill Christofferson, a representative for the U.S. Brewers Association. Christofferson, who also works with the Utah Beer Wholesalers, said he is pleased with the Due to a small community enable us to get some positive turnout, a special Price hearing things done. d held last week by the After four other public hearings If W Sun Advocate, Price, Utah 7A 1982 governor-appointe- on 20 took and only Driving Drinking minutes. Ten persons, mostly law enforcement personnel, came to Carbon High School June 15 to witness the hearing, but only three spoke to the commission. Commission Chairman Bob Parenti, who also is the state Director of Highway Safety, told the small gathering some of the staggering figures associated with drinking and driving. He said there are one million drivers on Utah roads each year and also 3 million gallons of liquor sold. Problem drinking is affecting some 62,000 drivers and costs great losses in life and money each year. This is the greatest avoidable loss we have in Utah today, Parenti said. Drinking and driving arrests have gone up to nearly 9,000 in 1981 in Utah, but Parenti said the commission has just begun to scratch the surface of the issues. The problem has been around for a long time and it is just beginning to be noticed, Parenti said. The fact that we are the governors commission is going to Commission ?c to be scheduled throughout the state and a series of other meetings the commission will then present a report to the governor a solution and recommending possible legislation. There will be legislation presented after we are through with our work, he said. Police Chief William Cossaboom spoke to the commission about his desire to get a Utah law which would allow officers to require a blood test when drivers involved in accidents can be given blood tests without driver permission. Right now drivers can refuse a blood test, but must face a license suspension of one year. Another speaker was the new Price United Methodist Church pastor, Greg Smith, who told the commission he would like to see for Greek Festival be designated, how should minerals be developed? Anyone interested in helping provide the answers to these questions and others should plan on attending a workshop Wednesday, June 30 at 1 and 7 p.m. at the BLMs Moab District Office, 125 W. 200 South.

"We do a lot of things like public service announcements and circulating pamphlets to discourage drinking and driving, Christofferson said. If kids learn these limitations before they are allowed to drive they will be more responsible about drinking and driving. This is a very clumsy effort to challenge Ray Nielsen and it is an out and out abuse of the electoral process, Hainesworth said. Im not sure that legal proceedings shouldnt be brought against her. Carbon County Clerk Norm Prichard defends Mrs. Prazen saying that the new reapportionment boundaries were not provided to his office, as state law requires, before the election filing deadline. In my opinion the lieutenant governors staff should have determined residency when she filed," Prichard said. I think they are in error and she should be disqualified and have somebody else allowed to run in her place.
