The coming boom in locum tenens
My advice to owners of locums staffing firms: start shopping for a really good private banker, yes the kind that comes to your home to discuss how to invest your millions -- sometime shortly after 2014 you will need that caliber of investment advice.
My advice to staffing firms not operating in locum tenens: keep reading.
When the effect of healthcare reform kicks in a few years from now, demand for healthcare professionals will go through the roof. But in most skills, supply will gradually expand as well, and over the long run shortages will not be much worse than they are now. It's just not that hard to become a physical therapist or even a registered nurse. Those jobs will eventually get filled.
But it is a hard, and very lengthy process, to become a physician, and in many cases physician jobs will not get filled.
Physician supply can't react quickly to demand, because there simply aren't that many spots in U.S. medical schools, and nothing in the healthcare reform bill will materially change that.
So to sum up, demand for physicians will boom but supply will remain fairly static. Get the picture? More than ever it makes sense to either be a doctor or marry one. Short of that, the next best thing is to get in the locums business.
The physician shortage is already bad enough today, you say? It will not be allowed to get worse, you say? The public will not stand for it? Some change will occur to relieve it? Maybe. But I offer a piece of contrary historical evidence.
As long ago as 1958, economists noted that the American Medical Association, which had been exclusively empowered to certify medical schools, was behaving very much like a monopoly, limiting supply in order to increase price (in this case, the salaries of their constituent doctors). The topic is so old that economists have lived and died talking about it, and today students are routinely assigned the task of re-investigating the case as a matter of academic exercise. And yet nothing was ever done to change that situation, despite fifty years of talk.
My guess is that the physician shortage (already at just 0.5% unemployment) will get much worse. The only likely relief is greatly expanded use of nurse practitioners -- but that too is locums business, isn't it?

Spec'd by the 7-string maestro.
The speedy shredder wanted the Rusty Cooley 7-String Xenocide electric guitar to have a maple neck with an ebony fretboard and Cooley custom neck profile, 24 fast frets with Pearl Xenocide inlays, and a 25.5" scale to facilitate wicked, shredding solos, and lightning-quick chord changes. Dual EMG-707 active humbuckers use 2 alnico magnet coils with a wide aperture to maintain a beefy low end and a fat top for loads of output, while the Floyd Rose Original locking trem unleashes harmonic-squeal madness. USA made. Includes case.

|Man's Body Recovered in Avery Waterway
|Written by Steve Frank
|Sunday, 30 May 2010 21:04
The body of a man missing for some 22 hours was recovered from the waters of Elk Creek Falls Sunday afternoon.
So far, Avery officials have not release the man's name, witnesses saying that he was vacationing in the area and was about 40 years of age, and that next of kin notification was underway. It was not clear from the scene whether the man intended to jump the 65 feet from the top to the water below or whether he fell looking into the pool, but at about 4:15 Saturday afternoon, he disappeared into the lower part of the stream and did not resurface, prompting the emergency call. After an extensive search of the waterway and immediate pool below the falls, the man's body was recovered at about 3pm Sunday. The initial day of searching ended Saturday evening with a storm which raised the water levels to dangerous levels.

How should my 2XU Cycle garments fit?
Your 2XU Cycle tops should fit loosely whilst standing upright in order to facilitate a snug, comfortable fit when stretched out or in the crouched position on the bike. Having said this, your jersey should never 'cut in' uncomfortably to the body. If this is occurring, you should review your size choice.
To achieve optimal aerodynamics through the air, Shorts and Bibs should be neat against the skin with no excess fabric.
For upper body Jerseys, a streamlined fit is ideal; however a free range of movement in the shoulders is essential, as is comfort in the underarms.
A little extra space between you and the garment will also promote breathability and ventilation.
For specific sizing, please refer to our Size Chart below. You will also find some helpful fit-related information in the FAQ section of the website.
Kinetic technology utilises 6 unique fabrics; 70D Kinetic Speed, Kinetic X, Kinetic, Neo Kinetic X, Neo Kinetic and Kinetic Sub. Each fabric contains the following product enhancing features:
Unmatched moisture management
UPF 50+ sun protection
Swiss air turbulent technology for improved aerodynamics

(b) Requirements
In carrying out subsection (a) of this section, the Director of National Institutes of Health shall—
(1) consider the recommendations of the Division of Research Grants Clinical Research Study Group and other recommendations for enhancing clinical research; and
(c) Support for the diverse needs of clinical research
The Director of National Institutes of Health, in cooperation with the Directors of the Institutes, Centers, and Divisions of the National Institutes of Health, shall support and expand the resources available for the diverse needs of the clinical research community, including inpatient, outpatient, and critical care clinical research.
(d) Peer review
The Director of National Institutes of Health shall establish peer review mechanisms to evaluate applications for the awards and fellowships provided for in subsection (b)(2) of this section and section 284l of this title. Such review mechanisms shall include individuals who are exceptionally qualified to appraise the merits of potential clinical research training and research grant proposals.

References in Text
Section 284l of this title, referred to in subsec. (d), was in the original "section 409D", and was translated as meaning section 409D of act July 1, 1944, ch. 373, as added by section 204(b) ofPub. L. 106–505. Such section 409D was renumbered section 409H of act July 1, 1944, ch. 373, by Pub. L. 107–109, § 3(2),Jan. 4, 2002, 115 Stat. 1408. Another section 409D of act July 1, 1944, ch. 373, as added by section 1001 ofPub. L. 106–310, is classified to section 284h of this title.
Findings and Purpose
Pub. L. 106–505, title II, § 202,Nov. 13, 2000, 114 Stat. 2325, provided that:
"(a) Findings.—Congress makes the following findings:
"(1) Clinical research is critical to the advancement of scientific knowledge and to the development of cures and improved treatment for disease.
"(2) Tremendous advances in biology are opening doors to new insights into human physiology, pathophysiology and disease, creating extraordinary opportunities for clinical research.
"(3) Clinical research includes translational research which is an integral part of the research process leading to general human applications. It is the bridge between the laboratory and new methods of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention and is thus essential to progress against cancer and other diseases.
"(4) The United States will spend more than $1,200,000,000,000 on health care in 1999, but the Federal budget for health research at the National Institutes of Health was $15,600,000,000 only 1 percent of that total.
"(5) Studies at the Institute of Medicine, the National Research Council, and the National Academy of Sciences have all addressed the current problems in clinical research.
"(6) The Director of the National Institutes of Health has recognized the current problems in clinical research and appointed a special panel, which recommended expanded support for existing National Institutes of Health clinical research programs and the creation of new initiatives to recruit and retain clinical investigators.
"(7) The current level of training and support for health professionals in clinical research is fragmented, undervalued, and underfunded.
"(8) Young investigators are not only apprentices for future positions but a crucial source of energy, enthusiasm, and ideas in the day-to-day research that constitutes the scientific enterprise. Serious questions about the future of life-science research are raised by the following:
"(A) The number of young investigators applying for grants dropped by 54 percent between 1985 and 1993.
"(B) The number of physicians applying for first-time National Institutes of Health research project grants fell from 1226 in 1994 to 963 in 1998, a 21 percent reduction.
"(C) Newly independent life-scientists are expected to raise funds to support their new research programs and a substantial proportion of their own salaries.
"(9) The following have been cited as reasons for the decline in the number of active clinical researchers, and those choosing this career path:
"(A) A medical school graduate incurs an average debt of $85,619, as reported in the Medical School Graduation Questionnaire by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC).
"(B) The prolonged period of clinical training required increases the accumulated debt burden.
"(C) The decreasing number of mentors and role models.
"(D) The perceived instability of funding from the National Institutes of Health and other Federal agencies.
"(E) The almost complete absence of clinical research training in the curriculum of training grant awardees.
"(F) Academic Medical Centers are experiencing difficulties in maintaining a proper environment for research in a highly competitive health care marketplace, which are compounded by the decreased willingness of third party payers to cover health care costs for patients engaged in research studies and research procedures.
"(10) In 1960, general clinical research centers were established under the Office of the Director of the National Institutes of Health with an initial appropriation of $3,000,000.
"(11) Appropriations for general clinical research centers in fiscal year 1999 equaled $200,500,000.
"(12) Since the late 1960s, spending for general clinical research centers has declined from approximately 3 percent to 1 percent of the National Institutes of Health budget.
"(13) In fiscal year 1999, there were 77 general clinical research centers in operation, supplying patients in the areas in which such centers operate with access to the most modern clinical research and clinical research facilities and technologies.
"(b) Purpose.—It is the purpose of this title [see Short Title of 2000 Amendments note set out under section 201 of this title] to provide additional support for and to expand clinical research programs."
Oversight by GAO
Pub. L. 106–505, title II, § 207,Nov. 13, 2000, 114 Stat. 2330, provided that, not later than 18 months after Nov. 13, 2000, the Comptroller General was to submit to Congress a report describing the extent to which the National Institutes of Health had complied with the amendments made by title II of Pub. L. 106–505.

MirandaUnited StatesHairBlondeOily HairDry HairCurly HairFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairMy Hair Is Saved!I've never loved a product enough to actually write a review, but this stuff is amazing! It detangles, makes my hair soo soft, AND reduces frizz. I'm going to be investing on more products from this brand. I highlight my hair and so it is very damaged and after the last time I got highlights I thought I would have to stop. It was so damaged that it would take me 20 minutes to brush it out after a shower and it felt like straw. After using this spray one time my hair felt softer than it's felt in years. And it's light enough that no matter how much I put in, it doesn't weigh down my hair or make it greasy. I've tried many products and I can't say enough about this one :) It's amazing!

NORFOLK - Town officials have voted to keep their annual trash cleanup weekend - for this year at least.
After much debate between town officials and residents, which at times grew heated, the Norfolk Town Council voted 3-2 to retain its once-a-year service that lets Norfolk residents drop off their trash at the Massena Transfer Station, 49 Dump Road, Massena, with the town picking up the bill.
Town officials say the service would likely take place during the first half of May.
Councilmen Kevin Fetterly and Robert Harvey voted against the motion, citing concerns over residents who abuse the system and a belief that the money could be better spent elsewhere. Providing the service cost the town almost $8,000 in 2011 and more than $10,000 in 2012.
You say people are abusing it - I dont think youre making that up - so save the money for other purposes. Put aside the money and use it to better the town, Mr. Harvey said.
Responding to concerns that discontinuing the service would result in trash piling up, Mr. Fetterly said he felt that the people who dump their trash on the side of back roads werent likely to utilize the service. Mr. Fetterly believes those individuals will continue to litter anyway.
The people that are letting trash pile up dont care enough to use the cleanup, he said. Were always going to have that issue of people who dump trash on back roads.
Supervisor Charles A. Pernice acknowledged Mr. Fetterly and Mr. Harveys concerns, but felt it was too late to discontinue the service, as hed already received calls from concerned residents who wanted to utilize the service. Some residents have already collected and piled up refuse to dispose of at the annual cleanup, he said.
Mr. Pernice plans not to include funding for the cleanup in next years budget.
Mr. Pernice raised concerns about residents who abuse the system by disposing of trash from friends or family who do not reside in Norfolk or by using it to clear particularly large items. He pointed to one resident who used the service to dispose of a 14-foot fiberglass boat as an example of the latter form of abuse.
The town of Norfolk has the right to refuse any load, he said.
Critics also pointed out that the town was charging all Norfolk taxpayers for a service that a relatively small number of residents utilize. Mr. Pernice said 247 residents utilized the service in 2011 and 303 in 2012, and some of those counted made multiple trips. Mr. Pernice said this represents a very small percentage of Norfolks population, given there are roughly 2,600 parcels in the town.
Clearly less than 10 percent of our residents use this service, so some (members) of the board feel 90 percent (of our residents) are paying for 10 percent (of our residents) to get rid of their unwanted items, Mr. Pernice wrote in an email.
However, some town officials and community members believe the service should stay because its a way to help clean up the town before families pass through for graduation ceremonies at Clarkson University and SUNY Potsdam, scheduled for the second and third weekends of May respectively.
Stating his support for keeping the cleanup service, Councilman Donald I. Purvis pointed out the town used to pick up trash from residents homes twice annually, and has gradually cut it down to the current service, which is less convenient for Norfolk residents wanting to dispose of refuse.
Theres always people who are going to abuse something. I really do think its a service the people of Norfolk should have and be able to use, Mr. Purvis said.
One Norfolk woman, who did not want to be named in print, told the town council she utilizes the service to dispose of refuse left by others on Trippanyville Road, which she picks up and stores in a barn until the cleanup weekend. She acknowledged that the litter is not her responsibility, but said she cleans her street because she doesnt want it to look dumpy.
She raised concerns that if residents continue to toss their refuse along the side of dirt roads, the garbage will accumulate, decompose and hurt the overall health and attractiveness of the local environment.
I think good gravy, am I going to have to (clean up litter) my whole life? Why cant people just take their trash to the dump? she said.

HARRISVILLE Lewis County General Hospital officials plan to expand operations at their Harrisville clinic in response to the impending closure of another part-time health clinic here.
If we get an influx and we cant react, well lose those patients, CEO Eric R. Burch told the county-owned hospitals board of managers last week.
Hospital managers unanimously approved increasing the Harrisville Family Health Center from a three-day-per-week operation to a four-day one, although Mr. Burch said the move probably will take about a month to implement.
E.J. Noble Hospital, Gouverneur, has asked the state Health Department for permission to close its satellite health clinic here, possibly this fall, as part of efforts to improve its fiscal condition.
If that is granted, the roughly 600 active patients at the Noble clinic will be sent letters recommending the Lewis Hospital clinic for those who wish to continue going to a family practitioner in Harrisville, Mr. Burch said.
While many are expected to choose other health care options, the Harrisville Family Health Center now open Monday, Thursday and Friday is already having difficulty scheduling patients, and adding more would make the delays even more pronounced, he said.
Im one of the ones that had a five-day delay for an appointment, said Legislator Philip C. Hathway, R-Harrisville, chairman of the legislative Hospital Committee and member of the board of managers.
While only open three days per week, since its February re-opening the clinic has seen a patient load that exceeds the level initially budgeted for a five-day-per-week operation, said interim Chief Financial Officer Jeffery W. Hellinger.
Carthage Area Hospital last summer relinquished control of the clinic to the Lowville hospital as part of a consolidation effort intended to get the Carthage facility back on solid financial ground.
However, state Department of Health officials required that a number of upgrades be made to the town of Diana-owned building at 14214 Church St. before allowing it to be used again as a health clinic, delaying its reopening.
The clinic is staffed by physician assistant Brittani L. Bickel, along with a licensed professional nurse and a physician office assistant.
Mrs. Bickel, a Harrisville resident, also sees patients on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at Lewis County General Hospitals Beaver River Family Health Center in Beaver Falls.
When asked by board Vice President Michael F. Young about the moves impact on the Beaver Falls clinic, Mr. Burch said other practitioners and staff there would have to pick up any slack.
Consultants have warned Lewis County officials that the hospital clinics also including ones in Lyons Falls and Copenhagen have not been profitable as standalone ventures. However, hospital officials see strategic placement of them near county borders as a way to attract residents in those areas to come to Lowville for ancillary services like laboratory work, surgeries and other such procedures rather than going to a neighboring hospital.
Also at last weeks Board of Managers meeting, Dr. David F. Rosner, general surgeon and medical staff president, reported plans to consolidate surgical offices at the Lowville hospital.
Dr. James V. Stillerman, whose office is now in the basement of the hospitals Medical Arts Building, plans to ultimately move into the first-floor office suite now shared by himself and the facilitys other surgeon, Dr. Vu Dinh, he said.
While no timetable has been established, the pending move should make it easier to coordinate operating room times between the three surgeons and allow them to accept more self-referrals, Dr. Rosner said.

It is made of solid sterling silver and looks very nice, it was one of his first creations (he actually made it while he was still in training). So I just thought I would share with you (and brag about) a fine example of Pastafarian jewelry.

As a child, it can be a little traumatic to see a magician make a mistake and drop his thumb. I mean his false thumb, from which he might produce a silk scarf, as if out of thin air. I did not cry back then, but at age 25, I did cry watching the lustrous cartoon The Illusionist, about a fatherly gent who stops pulling a rabbit out of his hat, and starts pulling a young girl out of her childhood. Merely a week after My Dog Tulip played the NW Film Center, Cinema 21 answers the call by screening this, another decent new work of hand-drawn animation. Director Sylvain Chomet employs a team of craftsmen to animate The Illusionist, an unproduced screenplay by the late French comedian Jacques Tati.
The movie follows an aging sleight-of-hand artist as he plies his trade through postwar Europe. Sad, wordless comedy results from this vaudeville circuit, which is giving way to television and rock 'n' roll. It's all in Chomet's talent for caricature, each character defined by a single, unchanging facial expression. There is an alcoholic ventriloquist, whose lips never move from a happy smile. There is a depressive clown with—what else?—a perpetual frown. There is a beaming, effeminate boy band that is putting them all out of business. Facing rows of empty seats, the magician himself exudes deadpan nobility, like an undertaker at his own funeral.
But when the magician stays at a rural Scottish inn, the girl who cleans his room is sheltered enough to believe in his tricks. When he leaves for the city of Edinburgh, he brings her along, and she discovers more adult kinds of enchantment, like the fancy clothes in a shop window. It's a gentler version of the story told in Catherine Breillat's Bluebeard and the Coen Brothers' True Grit. Like those live-action films, The Illusionist creates luminous scenes of spiritual innocence. The one that broke my heart shows a teenage boy and girl, taking shelter from the night in the tempting glow of that department store window. Shadowed by Adam and Eve mannequins, this couple is the baby boom in all its vulnerability.
Chomet's previous cartoon, The Triplets of Belleville, was pretty and nostalgic for its own sake. But here, his painterly vision of Scotland's city lights and natural colors takes on the pathos of the performer's spotlight, a sacred flame that will go out if a new generation does not believe in beauty. Chomet has also re-created the patient silent-comedy rhythm of Jacques Tati's own movies, and drawn the magician to look and move like Jacques Tati did onscreen, all wrists and ankles and lower back. (Some may recognize the bumbling character as the inspiration for England's Mr. Bean.) Chomet's homage has been protested by Tati's grandson as a betrayal of the man's real life and artistic intentions. It has also been protested by film critics as a betrayal of Tati's cinema, which spoofed the modern excess of commerce and technology.
Those critics have a point. First conceived in the 1950s, The Illusionist does not carry Tati's social burlesque into the 21st century. Perhaps abandoned by Tati for painful personal reasons, it offers none of the hilarity of Tati's slapstick designs. The true heir to Tati's grand absurdism is filmmaker Roy Andersson. But Chomet does have Tati's poetic ear for music and for the peculiar sounds of modern life, and his landscapes are gorgeous. Even if he violated Tati's wishes, Chomet has found some true sentiment as he skirts sentimentality. Tati imagined himself as an overgrown schoolboy, charmingly oblivious to social pressure. By giving this character a taste of surrogate fatherhood, Chomet tells a different kind of romance. As a girl loses her faith in rabbits out of hats, her faith in human kindness blossoms, and so does ours.
78 SEE IT: The Illusionist is rated PG. It opens Friday at Cinema 21.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate associate editor
Neither William Callor nor his garden collaborator Charles Colacito could be sure in the spring that their experimental crop would grow, but by midsummer it was clear they had made a lucky strike in their choice.
One corner of Callor's big vegetable patch in Helper is now covered with big, broad-leafed plants not seen before in this part of the state: tobacco.
"It's not supposed to grow above 6,000 feet," Colacito explained. But Helper, right at that borderline elevation, apparently has no problem with it.
Early settlers in Washington County - Utah's Dixie - had given tobacco and cotton a try, but those plants haven't been considered further north and higher up.
Alfalfa is the crop of choice up here, cut two or three times a year and sold either as hay or as beef on the hoof. Callor, however, prefers to raise fruits and vegetables.
Tobacco is just a sideline compared to the rows and rows of veggies and the orchard of different fruit trees. Besides, the growers aren't allowed to do anything with the new crop other than dry and cure it. You can't sell anything but plain leaves unless you want to go through the labyrinth of regulations and taxes for products.
Getting the leaves ready for sale is a slow and painstaking process. Colacito provided the details. You have to hang the leaves for three weeks in an environment where the temperature in degrees equals the relative humidity. Eighty degrees means 80 percent humidity. The 650 leaves he has already plucked hang in the greenhouse. The stone floor is wet, releasing water vapor gradually to keep the humidity up.
After drying comes three weeks of curing. The leaves are stacked and shuffled every now and then.
The growers have planted a crop that is 75 percent Virginia tobacco and 25 percent Havana.
While there are no tobacco product operations in the region, Callor and Colacito think they can find a buyer somewhere out of state.
"It's an export item," Colacito said.

HAMONIC AGENT: EXPECT A DEAL IMMINENTLYUPDATED THURSDAY at 1:00 pm: The deal is done
May 27, 1:00 pm: The deal is done.
May 25, 5:45 pm: The agent for Islanders prospect Travis Hamonic tells Point Blank that a deal between the team and his client will be finalized this week.
"For all intents and purposes, we're there," said agent Craig Oster of a three-year, Entry Level contract with Garth Snow for the impressive defense prospect. "We completed some of the work before the Memorial Cup and then took a break. We didn't want there to be any distractions for Travis. Now we're back at it and you should hear something in the next few days."
The Islanders have until the end of May to sign Hamonic, whom they selected with their third pick in the second round of the 2008 draft.
Although some signs have pointed to the Islanders throwing Hamonic directly into the NHL in 2010-11, Oster was wisely more cautious.
"He's a great kid and a great prospect who you can be confident will get the most out of his talent. He cares so much and has that drive to succeed," said Oster. "I just don't know if he's a guy anyone expects to play right away. Travis will be the first to admit he still has a lot to learn."

CANTON Objections from trash hauling businesses Monday night put the brakes on a proposal to quadruple the surcharge on haulers that bypass St. Lawrence County transfer stations and take garbage directly to the Rodman landfill.
The Board of Legislators voted 10 to 4 to table a resolution prepared by Finance Committee Chairman Frederick S. Morrill, D-Hermon, that would boost the surcharge for direct haulers from $4.50 per ton to $18.50 per ton. The measure is expected to be discussed again at the committees October meeting.
Mr. Morrills proposal aimed to increase revenue for the county Solid Waste Department, which may be forced to increase its tipping fee to make up for reduced tonnage heading to the countys four transfer stations.
Chester Skip Bisnett, general manager of the countys largest private hauler, Casella Waste Services, Potsdam, described the additional cost as an unfair tax that would penalize private businesses and their customers.
Its a new tax on the businesses, small municipalities and homeowners who use our services, Mr. Bisnett said. Imposing a solid waste tax to cover your ongoing fiscal problem only kicks the can down the road.
He estimated the higher surcharge would cost his business nearly $500,000 a year. Joined by his attorney, Mr. Bisnett questioned the legality of the proposal. Several other haulers attended the meeting, with a handful speaking out against the measure.
The bulk of the increase, $13 per ton, would be a new surcharge to help the county cover its underused assets, Mr. Morrill said. The existing $4.50 per ton fee to cover leachate removal would increase to $5.50 per ton.
Mr. Bisnett urged legislators to meet with haulers so they could offer their input about the countys solid waste situation. Several legislators supported the idea of getting input from haulers before making a decision on what direction to go with the countys Solid Waste Department.
Mr. Morrill argued that the surcharge would be an incentive to encourage haulers to use the countys transfer stations rather than the Rodman landfill that is operated by the Development Authority of the North Country.
He argued that the surcharge would benefit St. Lawrence County by creating revenue to offset the countys $137 per ton tipping fee.
Even with the higher surcharge, Mr. Morrill argued that Casellas per-ton cost is still lower than if it were forced to use the county transfer stations. The company is exempt from the flow control law because county transfer stations couldnt handle Casellas tonnage level.
I believe Casella Waste is saving $2.5 million a year by avoiding our transfer stations. The rest of the users are forced to make up a large part of Casellas savings in the form of higher tipping fees, Mr. Morrill said.
Mr. Bisnett disputed Mr. Morrills figures.
Massena Village Mayor James F. Hidy and the village superintendent of public works, Hassan A. Fayad, urged legislators against any change that could further increase costs for the village.
We will not pay any additional surcharges, Mr. Hidy said.
Legislators Mark H. Akins, R-Lisbon, and Kevin D. Acres, R-Madrid, both argued against Mr. Morrills proposal.
Youre trying to solve the countys problem by raising taxes on everyone else, Mr. Acres said. The best option is to sell the solid waste system, but we dont have the votes.
County Administrator Karen M. St. Hilaire said that without the higher surcharge, she will be forced to increase the tipping fee in the 2015 budget that is being prepared.
Casella handles more than 50 percent of the countys waste stream and operates its own transfer station. It directly hauls about 30,000 tons of trash a year to the Rodman landfill. This compares with roughly 23,000 tons collected at the countys transfer stations.

Health care across the nation is changing rapidly and in big ways all over the board. Nearly everyone realizes that almost daily new technological advances are introduced in one medical field or another. New drug therapies seem to come to the public and physicians alike in droves and it is becoming harder and harder for doctors to keep up with all the new techniques that are being developed.
But, maybe the biggest change is coming in how health care is delivered. The days of just visiting the doctor's office for a general checkup and then being referred to a hospital for tests has changed. Many offices now offer tests that not long ago one could only get at the hospital lab.
However, other than that, one of the biggest trends is the construction of "specialty hospitals" that either specialize in certain types of treatment or in certain kinds of surgery. Many hospitals in major cities are concerned that these types of facilities, along with new surgical centers, are stealing away business that keeps their profit margins in the black and covers big losses. Many incur in places like emergency rooms.
The trend continues, with specialty hospitals and traditional hospitals working for legislation and advantages to keep their side of the competition in front.
With the opening of the new Eastern Utah Surgical Center in Price, some people are asking if that trend is happening here. But if one asks Dr. Jeffrey Hansen, the owner of the new center, he doesn't see it that way at all.
"I have been here eight years and I have watched as patients continually left town to go over the mountain to have surgery," he said in an interview on Wednesday morning. "Certainly, as a resident of Carbon County, I am concerned about economic development. One way to help that development is to keep money from flowing out of the community."
The idea of the new center is not really new, according to Hansen. In fact there were a number of attempts to do a similar project in the past few years.
"This idea has been stewing for several years," he noted. "There were some group attempts and I was involved in some of those, but for one reason or another they just didn't work out. "
After the last attempt failed in the middle of 2001, Hansen decided to go it alone. By December of that year he says he "got serious" about it, bought the property from the previous owner and began to scour the state looking at other surgical centers to be sure he got it right when it was constructed.
The center sits within the Price City limits, but the county line is nearby and that presented some challenges in terms of zoning, utilities and the nearby street. But finally everything was in place and the economics of the thing started to make sense.
"I couldn't have done it without Delynn Fielding," he said of the counties economic director. "He helped immeasurably with getting this thing off the ground."
Hansen, an opthamologist by training, thought that doctors throughout the area might like a facility that would not only work as an out-patient facility, but also as an overnight stay health care unit.
A tour of the facility points out some real advantages, particularly for those that have traditionally gone for surgical procedures in Utah and Salt Lake counties.
"People can come here, have their procedures done and be home in a few minutes," said Hansen, who hails from Monterey, Calif., but whose roots run deep in Utah. His parents were both from Cache County.
The center looks like a mini-hospital with the latest technology displayed almost everywhere. Surgery prep rooms, standard recovery rooms and even an area for recovery where a patient can sit in a soft lounge chair and have something to eat is provided.
The center features three operating rooms, one of which is fully functional right now.
"It's an expensive proposition setting up all this equipment," said Hansen as he pointed to machines in the OR that cost over $15,000 each. "That's what it takes to equip these operating rooms correctly."
The fact is that many small communities would love to have a hospital that is as nice and equipped as this surgical center. For a rural area like Carbon/Emery counties to have a facility like this to go along with Castleview Hospital is unknown, at least in Utah.
"I know of no other surgical center like this in a area with as small a population as this in Utah," Hansen stated.
The overall feel of most of the non-operational areas seems homey and comfortable. It is very different from tradtional health care facilities of the same type.
Hansen, who is still on Castleview's staff, realizes that his new endeavor might affect the hospital, but he thinks what it will affect more is the money that is going over the hill.
"I see it this way," he stated as he sat in the plush waiting room right off the portico of the building. "First we are giving patients a choice, between us, the hospital and going to the Wasatch Front. Next, we can do some things less expensively than our competition, which will benefit patients. I also feel good that we are creating jobs here and I am trying very hard to buy everything we can from local suppliers rather than getting what we need from other places."
The building itself is divided into two halves with Hansen's office and practice in one side and the surgical center on the other side.
"I wanted to build a building Price could be proud of," he stated as he stood on the hill just outside of the building that overlooks Price. "We turned it so the front would face the city and our neighbors across the street wouldn't be looking at a big parking lot. Look at the view; you can't beat that anywhere."
It's obvious the new center offers some challenges to Hansen and his staff, but it also offers competition that has not been seen in the area before.
And for the consumer of health care services in Castle Country, that is a good thing.
