A dry mouth Decreased or absent urination Sunken eyes Wrinkled skin Fatigue Dizziness confusion coma Low blood pressure Severe thirst Increase in heart rate and breathing What can cause these symptoms? Vomiting or diarrhea Heavy sweating Use of drugs the deplete fluids such as diuretics (“water pills’’) Overexposure to sun or heat Not taking in sufficient amounts of water How do you prevent dehydration in yourself or loved ones? Obtain medical treatment for the underlying causes of dehydration if they arc disease based such as fever diabetes chronic kidney disease adrenal disease or chronic lung disease or vomiting and diarrhea If you are vomiting or have diarrhea drink enough water to keep your urine consistently pale (you may not feel thirsty but fluid intake is essential) If you use diuretics (“water pills”) weigh daily Report to your doctor a weight loss of more than 3 pounds in day or 5 pounds in week The best advice could give you is if you have any of the symptoms listed above increase your fluid intake and check your urine to make sure it is clear If the symptoms continue call your doctor and get advice or treatment UHP Activity June 171997 Trooper Ken Pitts investigated an injury accident involving a van and a deer on Interstate 70 milepost 15 Gilbert Ray age 60 from Arizona sustained abrasions on the inside of his arm however medical attention was not necessary He was wearing a seat belt and the air bag deployed Report June 21 1997 Trooper Kelly Roberts stopped a vehicle for numerous traffic violations The vehicle was impounded for proper registration and the driver Ruben Castello Moroni was cited for no drivers license and no insurance Trooper Gene Openshaw stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation The male juven ile was cited for Not a Drop violation and released to parents Trooper Ken Pitts stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation further investigation revealed that the driver Christopher L Rawlins age 22 was driving under the influence of drugs Also a license check from Colorado gave Rawlins driving status as suspended He was arrested and taken and booked into jail June 22 1997 T rooper Gene Openshaw was called to the scene of a one car rol over The vehicle was a 90 mits driven by Tarah Theresa Cox age 7 of Ephraim Cox went off the roadway to the right over corrected lost control slid across the roadway and rolled 5 times Cox was transported to Sanpete Valley Hospital She was wearing her seat belt at the time of the accident TrooperMarkTopham investigated an accident on State Road 24 involving a cow and a Hales Sand & Gravel Truck The driver Robert Allen age 47 from Redmond was uninjured in the accident He was wearing a seat belt The cow was destroyed Trooper Denis Avery arrested Nebojsa Sormaz for possession of a controlled substance an paraphernalia on Interstate 70 milepost 40 after stopping him for a traffic violation He was cited and released June 201997 Trooper Denis Avery was called to the scene of an auto pedestrian accident The driver of the vehicle was John Weis age 36 of Sterling He was driving a 94 Chry sler The pedestrian was Ariel M ickelson age 6 of Manti She was taken to Gunnison Hospital where she was treated and released The accident occurred on 200 North in Manti 1 otr collodion of wedding Wc’rc mirr you'll like llicir nnd quality elegance pnee Tlic Styiart album fa the lingeat selection 1 nnd cc: by filylart ava labic anvwlicne Your local &lylarl Dealer Gunnison Valley News Salina Sun 49 & Main in 528-31- Cunniaon and 3 or Main in Central Utah Academy and the Central Utah Correctional Facility held graduation ceremonies honoring all graduating high school GED and post high school students on Friday June 13 1997 Warden Fred Van Der Veur gave the opening remarks Director of Division of Institutional Operations Terry Bartlett and Deputy Director of DIO Scott Carver were also in attendance A special quest speaker Ona Siporin was present to speak at the graduation Siporin is a storyteller writer member of the Utah Performing Arts Tour and his narrated traditional and original stories throughout the Un ited States as well as in Alaska and Europe high school diplomas were Following Siporin’s presentation presented 58 GED certificates and five Literacy Awards Certificates were presented The graduates were accepted by Dr Lewis Mullins Diplomas to one Associate of Arts and seven Associate of Science graduates were accepted by Dr Gerald Day President of Snow College Noel Bailey Assistant Superintendent of Sevier Val ley A ppl ied T echnology Center aw arded Certificates for Data Entry to 12 graduates Culinary Ails Certificate to one graduate Computer Aided Drafting Certificates to eight graduates and Business Information Systems Certificates to six graduates The SVATC graduates were accepted by Carl Holmes Superintendent of SVATC Closing remarks were offered by Senator Leonard Blackham Salina 9 dJ project a lawn mowerhuniming chiland dren laughing mom’s calling me sitting on a patio lounge chair with no immediate worries Now love the trips and vacations with my sweet husband and kids but can dream of a real restful vacation can't I?!
