AI-Anon and
Aiateen meets
Do you have a teen-ager
out of control from alcohol
or other substance abuse?
Are you a teen-ager living in
a dysfunctional family situ-
ation? Don't despair there is
help.
Alateen meetings will
start Thursday at the Com-
munity Center in Room A,
from 7- 8 p.m. Alateen will
be followed by AI-Anon at
8-9 p.m. Alateen and AI-
Anon are 12 step programs
adopted from Alcoholics
Anonymous (AA).
Maximum benefits come
from emphasis on spiritual
growth and the acquiring of
loving attitudes, rather than
dwelling on the alcoholic's
faults.
Alcoholism is a "family
disease." Compulsive drink-
ing affects the drinker as well
as the drinker's relationships:
friendships, employment,
childhood, parenthood, love
affairs, marriages, all suffer
from the effect of alcohol-
ism.
Those persons closest to
an alcoholic are affected
most and are caught up in
the behavior of the alcoholic.
The nature of the disease is
that the alcoholic does not
believe they are ill and are in
denial.
The AI-Anon Family
Groups are a fellowship of
relatives and friends of alco-
holics who share their expe-
rience, strength and hope in
order to solve their common
problems.
Alateen and Al-Anon are
not allied with any sect, de-
nomination, political entity,
organization or institution:
does not engage in any con-
troversy, neither endorses
nor opposes any cause.
There are no dues for
membership.
Alateen and Al-Anon are
self-supporting through its
own voluntary contributions.
If you are a spouse, fam-
ily member or friend, these
meetings are open to you.
These are non-smoking
meetings.

Comm. meeting
Continued from front page
was also in controversy. The item was set aside until the
documents could be read and revised.
Since the $500,000 that was shaved from the sheriff depart-
ment budget "went up in smoke," Sheriff Wade Lieseke
presented the commissioners with a list of 17 vehicles that had
high mileage and were in poor condition, and asked them what
they were going to do about them.
"It comes down to a matter of officer safety," Lieseke said,
explaining that the vehicles are just unsafe to drive and that it
is his job to provide safe equipment for his people.
Lieseke said that the Salt Lake County sheriff's department
has a policy to replace their vehicles every year and that he is
making arrangements to purchase these vehicles for Nye
County. The commission approved $300,000 for the purchase.
Lieseke will try to consult with the district attorney' s office
and juvenile division to arrange for vehicle purchases for those
departments, as well. He said the fully equipped vehicles
would have cost over $23,000 each if new and he would get
them for $14,000.
