The new clinic manager does admit to mistakes. Haslem knows of at least two patients who were simply forgotten while in an examining room. They finally became frustrated and left through the back D G & T door. 'We are currently surveying the time spent from check in, to examining room, to completing the office visit, says Haslem. The data from the surveys will hopefully uncover any correctable problems. One way Haslem suggests to lessen the waiting time is for patients to stay away from the clinic on Mondays and Fridays. The resident on call over the weekend is off on Monday. On Fridays, there is usually a doctor off due to three-da- y weekends which are allowed on a rotating basi". On those two days it is simply a case of more patients and less doctors. Haslem insists that the doctors put in plenty of hours, at least 60 per week. Another complaint often heard is that patients don't get to see their "own doctor. The Roosevelt Clinic is one of the few that has successfully put together a group practice. That means every doctor has access to one cant get in to see their "own' doctor. let of patient files.

In Rio Blanco County, 25 went to mulitple family dwellings and here in Uintah County 0 went to multiple family As for campers and bachelor facilities in Rio Blanco dwellings. County 0 was allowed, and in Uintah County, 63 of their funds went for campers and bachelor facilities. Something else to think about, adding more mobile homes, single family residences, campers and bachelor facilities has got to cause an additional need for fire protection, but 0 has been set aside according to this impact Mitigation Comparison Statement, while Rio Blanco County was allowed 12,000. We, in Uintah County were allowed nothing for library facilities while Rio Blanco was alloted 150,000; for water, Rio Blanco County was authorized 1,875,0000 while Ijintah County rated just 800,000; for sewers Uintah County gets 400,000 while Rio Blanco County is to recieve 34, 1,500,000. In Rio Blanco, the general county will receive 1,500,000 while Rio Blanco Uintah County will get 76,296 and for 1 will and Uintah receive 1,510,000 County 12,250, for County Blanco while Uintah gets 0.

For roads, Uintah County fared real well with $4,000,000 while Rio Blanco County will receive only 1,600,000 and of course most all of this money will go to building the super new road from Vernal to the plant. For recreation Uintah County will receive 220,000, while Rio Blanco County will get 820,400. Rio Blanco County hired a law.ftrm from back east to handle their negotiations with Deseret and as you can see fared real well in the types of funding they will receive as a result of Impact Mitigation. Uintah County appears to have farad rather poorly when you look at the hut that DGlT is building their plant in our county. The opinion of Newsprint is that any of you concerned citizens of Uintah County should write letters to our county commissioners and to our editor and let them know what you feel about the way we seem to be slighted as to the funds we as a county should have received and what these funds should be used for, from the Deseret Generation and Transmission Impact Mitigation Proposal. We would think that even though this proposal has been turned into the county commissioners that it is not too late to acheive a better balance of funds for this countys needs, we do need more than just a super road to the power plant and having the influx of people because of this power plant makes our other needs much more evident. 0. 1002 Irish king first The first man to attempt to rule over all Ireland was famous warrior Brian Boru. king of Munster, who took the title of 'High King' in 1002 Alloys help aluminum Alloyed with other metals, aluwhich by itself is soft and minum not very strong - - can be made with 100,000 tensile strengths up to inch. square per pounds Sperm frozen 13 years Normal, healthy human babies have been born to mothers artifisperm cially impregnanted with stored frozen as long as 1 3 years.

Still, the best solution to most of the clinic1 problems lies in the expansion of the hospital. One of the major stumbling blocks in recruiting doctors has been the lack of facilities at the hospital. 'Our doctors have really pushed hard Foodless, birds adapt Some birds, when food is hard to get. can adapt by slow ing down their body processes. If European swifts, for example, cant find food for their nestlings, the young become torpid, their temperatures fall and they remain motionless as long as 10 days. When fed, they recover quickly from their for the He is expansion,' says Haslem. conviced that with the expansion getting more doctors will be much easier. go-ahe- n. 7 V. Cont.

Neptune Microfloc Company of Corvallis, Ore. will build and operate the plant. The contract between the local water entities and Neptune Microfloc will provide for possible ownership and operation by the local water districts, with part of the treated water payments to be credited toward the purchase price.

The relationship of the clinic to the hospital is often misunderstood. The clinic has nothing to do with the operation of the hospital and vice versa. Even billing is separate.
