PAGE.2-SECTION A IDAHO STATE A POCATELLO. IDAHO. WEDNESDAY, MAY Hospital Buyout By JUANITA RODRIGUEZ Journal Staff Writer Although Intel-mountain Health Care, Inc. (IHC) of Utah is wrapping up a purchase agreement with the Sisters of Mercy to buy Pocatello's St. Anthony Community Hospital, the final contract may not obligate IHC to build a new "single" hospital here.

This new development was presented during a public hearing Tuesday night before Sub-area Health Council Region which must review the proposed purchase. EARL POND, CO-CHAIRMAN of a joint Pocatello hospital task force, explained that officials representing IHC and the Sisters of Mercy had met earlier Tuesday in Salt Lake City and that the parties were looking at June 30 as the target date for the final "unconditional sale" of St. Anthony to IHC. Originally, when the Sisters of Mercy chose IHC as a potential buyer for its hospital, it was understood that one of the purchase conditions would be an ability by by the buyer to const 1 uct one hospital for Pocatello. How.

ver, Pond said that as a result of Tuesday's discussions, it will be recommended to both SACH's and IHC's governing boards that the sale be free of any conditions. A MEMBER OF THE AUDIENCE asked if that means IHC does not intend to go through with' its plans to build a single hospital here within four years, as announced on March 17. John Rich, assistant planner for IHC, answered: "Our intent has not changed." He saidlHC hasajirm commitment to Pocatello. Questioned later by the Journal, Rich said IHC Is still dedicated to the one-hospital concept and that purchase of SACH is the first step toward that goal. He siad the one-hospital concept clause, which had been attached to the original purchase agreement, had been dropped because the state planning agency indicated problems may have arisen in having that condition attached to the SACH purchase contract.

"THE STATE PLANNING agency wanted to make sure of exectly what they were approving," Rich added. "They wanted the two things separated." Rich said IHC will be paying half a million dollars and assuming about $1 million in debts to purchase St. Anthony. Major improvements will also be made to the facility, he added. IHC officials and members of the audience appeared frustrated at times in efforts to discuss the one-hospital concept, because the discussion had to be limited to IH- C's application to purchase SACH.

Speaking on behalf of IHC was Bannock County commissioner L. Boyd Johnson, who said the county commissioners feel "IHC can do what it promises." He said the commissioners had checked out IHC "thoroughly" and found the two-year- old hospital corporation had a "depth of expertise and no limit to its financial capability." "WE CHECKED OUT ANY ties with the Mormon Church, and we found none," Johnson added. Contract Won't Pin Down IHC IHC was formed In April of 1975 when It acquired 17 LDS hospitals In the Intermountain area when the Mormon Church got rid of Us hospital holdings. Doug Carpenter, assistant to the vice president In charge of hospital operations for IHC, presented a slide presentation about his firm and fielded questions from the audience. Answering a question about authority of local hospital boards, Carpenter said IHC maintains a "partnership arrangement with our boards." He stressed that IHC hospital boards are composed of local people who exert local control over the management of their individual hospitals.

ON A QUESTION ABOUT the authority of a local hospital board over an issue such as abortions, Carpenter said that question would have to be resolved later when IHC applies to build a new hospital for Pocatello. He noted the local board and the IHC governing board would have to come to a meeting of minds about such issues. At one point, Carpenter said he was getting the impression some members of the audience felt there was "some sort of mysterious corporation floating around bleeding the community." During the hearing, Johnson noted arrangements are being made to set up a "services contract" between IHC and the county-owned Marsh Valley Hospital at Downey. IHC'S APPLICATION for purchase of SACH will be reviewed on a state level by the State Review Board in Boise Friday. 1977 HHS Graduates HERBERT A.

Property Line Hassle Involves City Council In 'Low-Key' Debate By ROSS BROWNING Journal Staff Writer given away much of my land over the years to allow access to property; yet people now seem mad at me about it." That's what Velva Adolphson, Rt.

2, told the Journal Tuesday night following more than one hour of low-keyed Chubbuck City Council debate over property lines in a corner section of the city. THE CONTROVERSY STEMMED from a request by Pablo Hernandez to tear down his house at Mil Yellowstone so he could put in a new mobile home. A city variance that requires neighbors to be notified and given a chance to respond was needed before the council could approve the location of the mobile home. The council tabled Hernandez' request until 4 p.m. Thursday so the city could have time to work with surveyors to determine the true boundaries of traditional access easements.

Mrs. Adolphson had objected to placement of a mobile home until wider traffic access is granted on that part of an easement bordering the Hernandez property. HERNANDEZ' DAUGHTER, Lupe, contended the fence on her father's property which might seem to encroach on an otherwise 25-foot traffic easement existed when her father bought the property in 1972. "We just improved it because it was torn down," she said. Hernandez' property is one of several multishaped lots totaling about three acres on the southwest corner of Yellowstone and Briscoe.

Traffic access to homes not fronting either of the two streets proceeds through improvised dirt lanes that resemble an upside-down MRS. ADOLPHSON OWNS the bulk of the area, mostly on the Briscoe side, and maintains some rental units there. Neighbors i plots on the Yellowstone leg of the told councilmen a widening of the easement from 17 to 25 feet on their side would put their driveways and houses too close to the road. The council considered blocking off the easement entering Yellowstone and. confining entry and exit to Briscoe Lane, Mrs.

Adolphson's side. That would have produced a sort of lazy to the easements. But then John Merzlock, a realtor, produced an engineer's map drawn up by a private firm which cast doubt on the assumed legality of not only present traffic patterns, but also city sewer line easements. NEIGHBORS, MRS. ADOLPHSON, Merzlock, Miss Hernandez, and councilmen crowded around Merzlock's map on the council table to dicker over traditional property rights.

The council, confronted with conflicting deeds, easement grants, and maps, moved on to other items. In other action, the Chubbuck council: --Approved a city contribution of $1,000 to the Retired Senior Citizens' Program, which Is affiliated with the Southeast Idaho Community Action Agency (SEICAA). --Approved a additional claim from Lyndon R. Smith for a sprinker pipe which he procured for the city. --Approved the purchase of a $700 16- millimeter movie projector for showing training and educational films for the police and fire department and the public.

--Performed the second reading of a new city ordinance dealing with damaged or abandoned vehicles left outside or in an unenclosed area. The law states junk or abandoned vehicles, even if located on private property, can be hauled away at the owner's expense, if they create an eyesore. Before the third and final reaing, councilmen will consider exemptions for race cars and antique autos. The new law will beef up provisions of the old ordinance, according to City Attorney Don Burnett. --Recessed until 4 p.m.

Thursday to consider the Hernandez' variance request, an intergovernmental agreement with Pocatello regarding the use of that city's animal shelter and the alleged "New Colonial" delinquent sewer bill. --Agreed to "jump on the bandwagon" by joining a national cities' association lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of a federal law, effective Jan. 1, that requires cities to pay into an unemployment insurance fund, just as many private employers do. CITY A A estimated the annual cost ot Chubbuck at $6,000. To join the suit, the city must pay a fee based on its population.

The city will wait to receive the final fee formula before taking final action. Burnett said he is "dubious" about the still come out ahead if the cities' group sue- cedded in winning a one- or two-year stay on the law's enforcement while the case is being fought in the courts.

City Zoners Keep Eye On PUDs, Subdivisions Public hearings on a couple of "planned unit developments" and consideration of subdivision plans on all sides of Pocatello are among a dozen matters to be considered by the city planning-zonlng commission tonight. The meeting will start at 7:30 p.m. in the municipal building council chamber. PUDs to be considered are the proposed Satterfield Realty professional office complex, along Pocatello Creek Road, near the city's under-construction number three fire station; and Portneuf Park, an industrial warehouse PUD along North Arthur, adjacent to North and Buell streets.

Also up for public hearing is annexation of 60 acres which the city council already has voted to annex, in the Bench Road and Chubbuck Road vicinity. P-Z recommended the annexation and "residential one" and "R- 2" zoning for the 135 acres March 23, and the council followed up by ordering the annexation. Now, it develops that 60 acres were left out of the area's legal description, so a new process will have to be gone through for this portion. A hearing is scheduled on a request by David Cragan to rezone a tract south of the K- Mart shopping center on Pole Line Road from "R-2" to commercial highway, to permit a gas station. The applicant, Cragan, was told he could apply for rezoning, after the city turned down a special permit.

Final subdivision plans are up for review tonight for: Cedarview, on South Main Extension and Portneuf Golf Estates at the Pocatello Golf and Country Club. Preliminary subdivision plans include: Meadows, adjacent to Edahow School; Johnny Creek Estates; Wild Horse Estates, off Gibson Jack Road, outside city limits but within Pocatello's zoning jurisdiction; Maryzell, on Cottage Avenue, near Hawthorne Road; Kinnikinik, along Buckskin Road, southeast of town; and the plat of one lot in'Home Acres Subdivision, along Low tonight 40, high tomorrow 60, high yesterday 58. high expected today 60, low this morning 45, yesterday's average 53, normal average 56.

Highs 55- ICL Sets Nuclear Review Idaho Conservation League will hold its last monthly meeting of the 1977 legislative year Thursday at 8 p.m. at the Pocatello Public Library. Two agenda items of general interest are an update on phosphate mining activities in Southeast Idaho and a presentation of the "danger factors" associated with nuclear waste storage in Idaho.

ICL member Dennis Donnelly will review excerpts from two letters presented to ERDA in testimony about a recent draft environmental impact statement on nuclear waste management. Donnelly has warned of the dangers of nuclear waste storage which he said tend to be de-emphasized in official public statements. He said President Carter has withdrawn support for Plutonium reactor development, partially because of the "extreme health hazard from this toxic substance." Most people do not know that this material continues to be brought into the state, and that there is more plutonium waste stored in Idaho than anywhere in the world," Donnelly said. Irrigation Canals Probably Won't Run Dry Till July 1 CHUBBUCK-If there is a water shortage for farmers here later this summer, the past week's rains may have pushed the date of dry irrigation canals back another month. a i i i i soil conservationist, Tuesday said officials of a canal company in the McCammon area think irrigation water should be available through July 1.

The company had counted on going dry June 10, but that was before the rains. More than an inch of rain has soaked into area top soils the past 10 days. George Gardner. Bannock County extension agent, said the moisture has benefited grains and grasses in the area, but the moisture hasn't penetrated deep enough to compensate for April. April was the driest and warmest on record lor this area.

As soon as the sun comes out, said Gardner, the soil may require as much irrigating as ever. The Forl Hall Irrigation Project serves Chubbuck farmers. Acting project manager Louis Hildcr- brand said Ihe week's rains have raised water storage at the Blackfoot Rcseroir about 3,300 acre feet. Last month, he said, total storage capacity stood at 274,000 acre feet, the highest level ol the year. The level dropped a few weeks later to 260,620 acre feet, he said, and it now stands at 263,960 acre feet.

That compares with a mid- May level last year of 330,000 acre feet. Hilderbrand said he expects the present level to decline considerably as the weather waims and the irrigation becomes more regular, but he does not foresee any water cutoff to Chubbuck irrigators in the near future. But he said people should not view water as expendable as it might have seemed last year. Although May has been unusually wet, it's not a record-breaker so far. As of Tuesday, 1.90 inches of rain had fallen at the Pocatello airport, said Weather Service specialist Del Sharp.

Normal for the entire month is 1.29 inches. But the wettest May on record was in 1908 when 3.96 inches fell during hie month. Sharp noted that precipitation In early summer following a dry winter doesn't provide the runoff that the same amount might have produced in the form of snow. Wafer from melting snows is more likely to reach storage reservoirs, he said, adding that much of the runoff from the present rains is just soaking into the dry mountain soils.
