Show Thursday, May Bureau Newpasedany John seeks Martin By After being reinstated by the Business Committee, the Public Affairs Commissioner is going forth with his basic goal of protecting the civil rights of the people through better law enforcement. I want better law enforcement in our communities, said Raymond Wissiup, "particularly in Myton and Ouray where they've been neglected." He said efforts are being made to get tribal police in these two communities, but the only problem is housing, and that responsibility is left up to the communities. The Commissioner deals mainly with the Law and Order Department, where, he says, the Chief of Police handles the everyday functions. He has, in fact, instructed the Chief to run his department, and to be there during working hours so complaints can be taken care of then and there, Wissiup wants to see that the jail facilities are in good shape, the prisoners treated right, and needed medicine administered properly. So, he's looking to expansion, either by add-o- n or by finding a bigger building. He said the present facility has a capacity of 25, and that it gets The contract dictates that you cannot do that. Lloyd Arrow chis, Chief of Police, has put in for the old fab building, the Commissioner said, as well as others have. Then theres the over-crowde- d. possibility of putting juveniles in the present facility. Also, theres the need of finding funds, Wissiup said, We have a lot of Kroblems, particularly with alcohol, tribal police patroling the communities, and curfew enforcement He explained how the State is tightening up on its DUI regulations to combat drunk drivers, and that those regulations will automatically become part of the law and order code, since its adopted from the State. The Commissioner talked about arrest as another area of criticism, where a particular one may not look legitimate, yet the officer is doing his job properly. After all, he's guided by the code of ethics and the individual's dvQ rights. But to the bystander the arrest may not look right. Handcuffing, far instance, which the Commissioner says is procedure, and for the officer's safety. Handcuffing does not necessarily mean the violation is serious. It has to be done for the sake of protection. In enforcing rules and regulations. Commissioner Wissiup answers to the people and the Business Committee. According to the ll ever-prese- May nation-wid- e is National High Blood Month. As part of a focus on high blood pressure, the Uintah Basin Health Department is sponsoring weekly blood pressure clinics, every Friday from 9 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 4 p.m. at 133 North 100 East in Roosevelt. I'd like to invite everyone to attend, said Freda Campbell PHN. Every one of us probably knows who has high blood someone pressure because it's such a common condition. And when we help people who have high blood pressure to keep it under control, we are helping them to reduce their risk of early death or disability. Recent studies conducted by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute indicate that a great deal of progress has been made nationally through the combined efforts of local community high blood pressure i Mmy aavfcif contact A public involvement program is being initiated by the Bureau of Reclamation to improve the flow of communication with the public an the Central Utah Project's Jordan-ell- e Dam and Reservoir, BOR's Upper Colorado Regional Director CUffort Barrett has announced. The program not only will do a good job of keeping U tahns informed, Barrett said, but the public will also have more of a voice in the outcome of the project. We are now far enough along in our advanced planning and geologic investigations on Jordanelle to have something meaningful to say to the public, he said. At the same time, our activities are not so advanced that it is too late for the interested public to have input into the outcome of the project. Jordanelle would be located in Wasatch County, about six miles north of Heber City, and would be a chief supplier of the municipal and industrial water needs within the Bonneville Unit of the CUP. The Myton Post Staters Four Union High School students have been selected by the Myton American Legion Post and the Auxiliary Unit to attend 1982 Boys informed through regular news releases to the media.

The delegate chosen for Boys' State, which will be held June 2 in Logan, is Rick Nielsen, son of Mr. and Mr b. Floyd Nielsen, Myton. 6-1- 2 Boys, Girls of Wasatch County. Manager of the Utah Projects office, Kirk Carpenter, said the public involvement program calls for communication to occur at three levels. The first level consists of the general public, who will be kept programs across the country. Where ten years ago, relatively few people knew much about high blood pressure, now almost 75 percent of the total population knows that high blood pressure is a serious condition. that high blood pressure increases the risk of heart Millions now know attack, stroke and kidney failure. And more than 80 percent now know that high blood pressure cannot be cured, but can be controlled with drugs. We are very excited about the positive changes in high blood pressure control on the national level, said Graham Ward, coordinator of the National High Blood Pressure Education Program from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. And we are very pleased that the Uintah Basin Health Department is contributing to make these changes happen. prrM The most intense participation will occur at the third level, which involves a number of organizations having demonstrated a history of concern regarding Jordanelle, and having a significant and direct stake in its outcome, Carpenter said. They include the Central Utah Water Conservancy District, the nearby mining interests, Wasatch County, agencies from the State of Utah, and Reclamation officials from Provo, Salt Lake and Denver. The third level group will be divided into two teams : one focusing on the damsite and the issue of dam safety; and the other on ground water conditions and geology under and near the proposed reservoir.
