We want people to know that the program is going ahead," she explained. 4 : 1 The community supported Christmas relief program was instituted seven yean ago by a Roosevelt woman who learned that the Toys for Tots program would no longer be offered. Over the rears the program has operated under differing directors and philosophies, however, each has recognised the need for such a program. The Christmas Spirit Connection was housed at the Duchesne County Homeless Shelter last year, but the facility is no longer available for use, says Harmston, who opted to run the program from her home at 44 South 200 West in Roosevelt "We donlt have a choice. Td rather take a little (lack then not have it at all," Harmston says. Those in need of Christmas assistance this year may apply. "We're including senior rititena, and the mentally handicapped as well," Harmston said. Applications may be available as eany as November 1 at the Duchesne County "Well have people contacting businessee like we did last year. They will have an authorisation form with a tax exempt number on it," Harmston said, noting that the Connection operates under the umbrella of the Family Support Center, which provides the necessary 50 1C3 tax status for the connection. Because there are no avenues of funding available for the Connection, organizers must rely solely on donations from the community. "We are depending a lot on the people of the community, churches and schools. They do their own thing and bring us the results that, it works very well, Harmston reposted. The Connection will be putting up angel trees at Bill's Ben Franklin, Stewart's Thriftway and Alco, as they did last year. As well, they are asking that individual families, or businesses, or clubs come together to sponsor a family. If that's not use their talents, we have material to make quilts."

BE People with diabetes urged to get flu shot TriCounty Health Department would like to remind everyone to get their flu shot this year, Because it takes about two weeks for the influenza vaccine to take effect, getting the vaccine now will ensure protection by the time flu season gets underway in the Uintah Basin. Although it's difficult to predict exactly when flu season will arrive, some early cases of flu are already being reported around the Nation. Utah Health Care providers especially recommend the vaccine for people who may be at high risk of developing complications from the flu. However, studies continue to cially impressive, said Shaffer, "whenyou consider that during that time period, the clinic functioned e for five months without a dentist Upon Dr. Brian Spendlove's return to private practice, services were provided by 2 volunteer dentists, Dr. John Shimmin and Dr. Richard Jolley, and our certified dental assistant Betty Anne Ficarra, who has been the clinic coordinator since it's inception. Their commitment deserves recognition. TriCounty Health Department opened Utah's first and only Medic- aid Children's Dental Clink May 10. According to Shaffer, the prqject was made possible through multiple agency cooperation and col- gible for Medicaid. In addition to recognition from the State Department of Health, the clink was honored in 1997 by the American Dental Association for service todutdrea in the Uintah Basin and received the Rural Utah Community Excellence Award from the Utah Center for Rural Life. That same year, it was also recognised by the Vernal Area Chamber of Commerce as the Service Business of the Year. n hill-tim- full-tim- after Hsdlocks arrival, the dink changed its name from TriCounty Children's Dental Clinic to TriCounty Dental Clink, reflecting its expansion of full dental services for adults as well as children eli- laboration, including Ashley Valley Medical Center. "AVMC provided cough, high fever, headache, muscle and joint pain, and fatigue. People who become severely ill with influenza-like symptoms should see a physician. If you have questions about influenza, please call your health care provider or contact TriCounty Health Department at 722-50435-7- 8 2 or for more details.
