Russell Quick action by Newman saved the life of his brother, Raymond, who fell into an irrigation ditch Saturday morning in front of their home in Axtell. Russell caught a glimpse of his brothers clothing as he surfaced, face down, about a half mile from the family home in the southeast part of the community, and plucked him from the concrete ditch brim full of Willow Creek irrigation water. The little boy was unconscious, white and not breathing, but Russell used his Boy Scout first aid skills to determine that Raymonds heart still h was beating and administered resuscitation to start his breathing again. Dr. Pratt told us when we brought him in that everything that could have been done for him already had been the boys mother, Joan done, Newman, recalled Raymonds temperature was subnormal - about 92 degrees - and he nearly went into shock twice on the ride to Gunnison. His low body temperature probably contributed to his survival, the doctor told his parents All body functions slow down with decreased temperatures, thus requiring less blood and oxygen. The doctor told us that Russell did everything right, she said, and without the emergency treatment, he (Dr. Pratt) would not have been able to do anything for him.

County public meetings, to discuss and identify citizen concerns about the future of the various areas, will be held Wednesday, July 9. All citizens of Utah are invited to participate in the discussion of issues relating to growth and growth management. After the public meetings, citizen opinions will be compiled for study by the steering committee and the commission. Several Task Forces will study the issues resulting from the hearings, and a final report to the Governor and the Legislature will complete the project in December. Findings from the commission are expected to suggest how the state can cope with growth. Utah exceeds the national rate in population alone.
