According to Roosevelt City attorney Cnug Bunnell, state and local law enforcement as well as government courts will have authority to make arrests and prosecute those who violate laws within their Jurisdiction. "Local businesses within the disputed 400,000 acres may also assess sales tax to anyone buying products from their stores," said BunnelL At present, Ute Indians are not required to pay sales tax in the Uintah Basin. The majority of the population in the Uintah Basin will have representation, for tax purposes and the ability to enforce local government statutes. The Ute Tribe would still hold Jurisdiction over trust lands and areas within reservation boundaries, excluding the' disputed 400,000 acres.

Bailey edges Miller in Duchesne City recount By Mike Rout A week after Duchesne City officials conductedarocountofNovem-be-r 2 election tallies, William Howard Bailey was officially proclaimed the individual to fill the second of two open Duchesne City Council positions. The recount came after a dose Emergency response personnel soon to gain debriefing teams By Cheryl Mtcham 738-53- at 8, Nedra Haiper, winner of the Uintah Basin Standard Crazy Cartoon Contest, "T.V. vs. Literacy" category. When emergency personnel respond to a call somewhere in the Uintah Basin it is likely that the call may be a personal one. Emergency crews may arrive on scans and find that the victim is someone they know. "Somebody ! going to know these people, they may be a friend, a neighbor, it doesnt matter what the relationship is. They are expected to perform, Rick Handy, Uintah Basin Counseling Service said. Another concern for emergency personnel is the "bad call," a situation in which a child may die, or be seriously injured. A catastrophic automobile acddent which results in multiple death, or a "code", a call meaning that the victims heart has stopped, response time is crucial, and teams may not be able to reach the scene in time to save a life. "You do what you think is beet at the time, and then later we get our crew together and we talk about any problems we are having. We do our own debriefing," Debbie Arnold head of the EMT department at the Uintah Basin Applied Technology Center explained. "After you have a few bad calls it adds up and people arent able to cope with it," said Jesse Smith representative of Gold Cross Ambulance service in Vernal. Any emergency response person whether an' Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), a dispatch worker, an emergency room nurse, a doctor, a fire lighter, or a police officer can arrive to a point where they cannot cope any longer. According to Jesee Smith, "Poet Dramatic Stress" can manifest itself in a variety of ways, the inability to concentrate, inability to sleep at all or well, resulting in the individual waking tired, anxiety, depression, a loss of interest in activities previously enjoyed, and flash backs of previous incidents. "These things are real. Stress is not only a mental problem, but a physical situation too. It can bring on illnesses which are very real," Jesee informed. Post Dramatic Stress can contribute to foiled relationships, inability to perform emergency tasks, loss of employment, and in very serious cases, suicide, which is why Jesse Smith is working to organise a Critical Incident Stress Debriefing team for the ty "We do our own informal debriefings, we have done for years. To a print it works well, but it adds up. After a few years its not enough," Jesse remarked. He added that a mental health worker is involved, "mainly to keep the discussion flowing in the right direction." "Debriefing is not counseling," Rick Hendy explained. He added that the most effective debriefing time is immediately after the incident has occurred up to 24 hours to 72 hours later.
