Show Pag 2. . August 13, 1986 Basin Standard dJJintah County dog ordinance must be implemented There is a major problem in Duchesne County which should be addressed immediately. A county dog ordiance should be implemented. The county follows the state statue, which cites if the loose dog enters a person's property he can dispose of it, or if the dog is found attacking his livestock the dog can be killed. Although it may sound like a good ordiance, in fact, it is lousy. The property owner whose livestock is damaged by the stray dog can only kill the dog or fight the dog owner in small claims court. Because as it stands now, in the county, the dog problems are civil and not criminal. Hence lies the problem. Unfortunately, it sounds like an unfair situation, but it happens all too frequently in this county. only one avenue the hurt party can pursue to get damages collected. They can take time out of their busy schedule to fight the matter in small claims court. Why should residents have to take the time out to fight the matter when they pay for a county attorney that can do such matters? . There is The facts are that the money ap-parently is not around to pay for such frivolous matters. But if the county has been saving all this extra revenue on matters-refinanc-ing the some scrape together county to alleviate a lot of prohelp money blems that the lack of a strict dog ordinance causes for county taxpayers. It's awfully sad when a county resident makes a telephone call to the sheriff's department asking for assistance and is told there isn't much his department can do. The deputies do try and help remedy the situation as best they can, but the problem is not going to The county, which doesn't have look far for an effective ordiance which has been adopted in most cities in the county, needs a criminal statue citing they will prosecute and collect damages from the irresponsible dog owners who just let their dogs run wherever they please. The county attorney should have the direction, if called upon, to criminally charge these inconsiderate owners go away. And dog owners can play a very vital role in helping the situation out.

Alan White ; Committee Kathy Roes, Chairman Best thing for older people, me care Dear Edita, I would like to express my thanks, and encourage your readers to find out about the Home Health Care program offered through the Duchesne County Hospital. Our familys experience has proved to us that this program is the best thing to come along for our older people in a long time. The nurses who make the home calls are well trained and above all are caring people. I waa very impressed with the immediate availability of medical backup, doctors etc. This program allows these elderly people to stay in their homes instead of going to a hospital or care center. I would also encourage the STANDARD to find out about and print the information on this program so that all elderly people who need this type of care would know who to contact to obtain it Thanks again to three people for a job well done. .
