The council membership must include a minimum of six parents and five school employees (including the principal) at a high school level, and four parents and three school employees (including the principal) at a school other than a high school.

According to organizers of the petition drive, another 1,600 names will be sent to the commission by mid July. Petitioners are voicingobjcction to Commua proposal by UBTA-UBE- T nications that would place a monthly fee of $4.96 on residential telephone lines in order to eliminate long distance charges when calling throughout Duchesne and west Uintah counties. UBTA-UBEacquired telephone customers in the Roosevelt, Duchesne and Vernal areas in April 2001 from Qwest Communications International Inc.

Rodent prevention action should also accompany this type of cleaning to ensure no reoccurrence of an infestation. HPS symptoms usually appear within two weeks of infection but can appear as early as three days to as late as six weeks after infection. First symptoms are general and flulike fever (101-10- 4 F); headache; abdominaljoint and lower back pain; sometimes nausea and vomiting. However, 4ha primary symptom of this disease is difficulty in breathing, which ia caused by a fluid build-u- p in the lungs and quickly progresses to an inability to breath. If any combination of the symptoms described above, especially difficulty in breathing, appear after direct or indirect exposure to rodents, contact your doctor or health facility immediately and be sure to mention your exposure to rodents.

However, the current plan docs not allow toll free calling to Roosevelt, Vernal or Duchesne. Vernal residents opposed to the EAS railing plan say it holds no value for them because they do not call out of their prefix area enough to make the monthly charge pay off.

The PSC will hold public hearings in Duchesne and Uintah counties sometime this summer to gather input on whether the plan ia acceptable to the majority of telephone company customers.
