A-8 THKTIMES Tuesday, June 7, 1983 S.L. A letter warned doctors of Filosa People I staff. The other physicians in the area have not been able to convince the medical staff that their perogatives are threatened." Another bylaws controversy served as one of the rallying points for Lake County doctors who had grown dissatisfied with Filosa's leadership. One of Filosa's most outspoken physician critics, Dr. Peter Gutierrez, went to the AMA for a review of the bylaws changes.

Gutierrez claims they were proposed by Filosa supporters. The AMA analysis was critical of the bylaws, including a provision that would have allowed doctors to be disciplined for emotional or moral reasons. "Inclusion of 'emotional, moral' in the proposed amendment is of questionable validity," Betty Jane Anderson, associate general counsel of the AMA, wrote in an analysis of the bylaws. The changes in the bylaws were proposed 18 months ago, but were never adopted by the hospital's doctors. To day, a committee of doctors, including Gutierrez, continues to grapple with rule changes for the medical staff.

Medical staff bylaws are the means by which a hospital can assure the quality of care for its patients. They also provide a source of hospital control over doctors. They deal with areas such as staff privileges, what procedures including operations a doctor can perform and disciplinary procedures if a doctor breaks the rules. In the current bylaws, a doctor's mental or physical condition are grounds for limiting his use of the hospital. The proposed change would have expanded those grounds to include the "subjective" categories of emotional or moral behavior, Anderson said.

Gutierrez confirmed he sent the bylaws to the AMA for its analysis. "The whole (proposed) bylaws bothered me," he said. "They used terms like moral, proper and good attitude, which I felt were hard to warnings seriously. Since the warning about Filosa's methods came from outside the medical staff, he has somehow convinced them that this is really just a plot to prevent them from getting a new hospital. Smooth operator." The AMA legal counsel represented doctors in Huron, S.D.

in a court battle over changes in medical staff bylaws at St. John Regional Medical Center. Filosa was administrator there before coming to Crown Point. Huron physicians charged St. John's with changing the bylaws without consulting doctors.

In a suit decided by the South Dakota Supreme Court, the doctors won. The AMA warned Crown Point doctors they might be in for the same kind of trouble. Sutherland's 1974 letter continues: "In summary, Filosa seems to be doing the same thing in Crown Point as he did in Huron, but this time with the cooperation of the hospital medical Princess Diana and Prince Charles joined a host of celebrities in London, including actress Liza Minnelli and tennis star John McEnroe, for the charity premiere of the new James Bond movie, "Octopussy." The 21-year-old princess wore a slinky white silk dress with one shoulder bare that has obviously become a favorite with her it was the gown's third outing in three months. She created a sensation when she first wore it at a ball in Melbourne during the royal couple's tour of Australia last March, and she wore it a second time at a private ball Saturday night. Alan Alda is "the consummate actor," Carroll O'Connor a "super craftsman," and John Forsythe a "skilled actor with great range," says a panel of casting directors asked to pick the best actors on television.

The judges included Jane Feinberg and Mike Fenton, who cast for TV movies and mini-series; Bobby Hoffman of Paramount Television; and NBC's vice president of talent, Joel Thurm. Their findings will be reported in the June 11 edition of TV Guide. Places umaii chain blocked landfill be allowed to attend. Reddicliffe said a group larger than four "would not be a productive-sized group." He said the meeting would be a chance for Waste Management to "explain our plans and for them to hear our concerns." IACT, however, wants 10 representatives at the meeting because, members say, the landfill is a community concern and four persons isn't a fair representation of the community. IACT received the offer for a meeting with four of its members after it staged protests at two Loop offices of Waste Management corporate board members.

Prior to that, the group went to the homes of Waste Management officials in the western suburbs and conducted candlelight vigils outside. Its latest John F.

(AP) Damaged buildings left standing after a devastating May 2 earthquake are now falling victim to wrecking crews.

Three buildings in the hard-hit commercial district were demolished Monday, including the State Theater. Tearing down the old movie theater "takes a chunk of my heart," said Billie Woods. "It didn't matter what the movie was," said Judy Eastman. "We'd go after the movie to the Sugar Bowl for Coke and the juke box. They would never chase you out." But Cheryl Field was glad that removal of the ruined buildings has begun.

"It has been very depressing to look at this since the earthquake," she said. "This is a day of new beginnings for this town. Once we get it all down, we can get our lives back to normal." Contractor John Peralta has 51 other buildings to clear away before the city can begin a redevelopment project to restore its commercial district. Virtually every building in the eight-block district was damaged during the quake. "I hate to capitalize on somebody else's misfortune, but somebody has to clean up this city," Peralta said.

"We came to do it." Providing air may have protest was at the Waste Management stockholders meeting in May. "We are not going to stop (our protests) until they drop their landfill application," IACT Member Mary Ellen Montes said. "We don't want this dumping in South Deering." Waste Management has already had its land at 110th Street and Stony Island Avenue rezoned by the Chicago Zoning Board of Appeals for landfill use, despite earlier promises from a company official that the site wouldn't be used for dumping. The landfill proposal is now awaiting permits from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the Illinois Department of TransportationDivision of Water Resources.

Waste Management withdrew its initial landfill proposal part of a three-pronged land use plan when the Army Corps raised some questions Responding to the report in a letter April 14, 1983, Jail Physician Dr. Alfonso Holliday asked Warden Joseph Cyborski to remove the plates to make the jail "more suitable for human habitation." The steel plates were removed about two months ago. Lightweight wire mesh screens were installed in May when a guard noticed one of the windows had been tampered with. However, the wire screens proved an insufficient restraint. According to Midkiff, the three escapees were able to punch out the casing of the screen using a stolen screwdriver.

Hunters slay SAN DIEGO (AP) A cadre of hired hunters killed 650 wild goats on San Cleniente Island, and the three-man team planned to return to the island later this week to "finish the contract," the Navy said. The body count from the three-day km was higher than expected. It was originally thought no more than 200 goats were left on the shell-torn island that the Navy uses as a bombardment range, Navy spokesman Ken Mitchell said Monday. The hunters returned to San Diego on Monday when overcast skies and fog prevented them from completing an aerial survey of the hunt's results, define and even harder to defend." The proposed bylaws dealt at length with procedures for investigating bylaws violations by doctors. One of the proposals was to set up an "investigation panel" to look into individual cases of abuse by doctors.

The AMA's Anderson wrote: "One really has to question why so many pages of the medical staff bylaws are devoted to inconsistent procedures governing various kinds of corrective action and suspension or revocation of privileges. The authors should be able to get their act together and have one set of procedures that apply to all changes in clinical privileges and medical staff membership." One bylaw change would have given the hospital board of directors the final say in reduction of staff privileges, despite findings by the investigation panel or other committees. "This makes a mockery of any 'due process' that would otherwise be available, and appears to be a scheme to circumvent any procedural safeguards," Anderson wrote. entrance about the plans at all three sites. Waste Management wants to make property it owns along the Grand Calumet River in Burnham into a nature park.

It would use that land to make up for federally protected wetlands it would destroy at the South Deering site. The Corps refused to grant a permit under the original proposal because the land in Burnham was not equal in size or quality to the wetlands in South Deering. Waste Management, as part of its plan, would also give up rights to dump on land it owns at 130th Street and Torrence Avenue in exchange for dumping rights in South Deering. The 130th Street property would be a light industry park. Waste Management has until later this month to present a revised version of its three-pronged proposal to the Army Corps.

aided escape Officials theorize the screwdriver was taken from a maintenance man's tool cart. "After questioning all the maintenance men and prisoners, we do not believe the screwdriver was placed in there purposefully," Midkiff said. Since last week's escape attempt, the jail has spent $880 to install half -inch steel bars every three inches on the windows of the facility's fifth floor. The warden has also instituted a tool control system for the jail's maintenance men. 650 wild goats Mitchell said.

The hunters, armed with shotguns, spent the weekend in low-flying helicopters, firing their weapons as the goats were flushed from deep caves and brush on the desolate island. The carcasses are being left where the animals die. The Navy is spending $50,000 to rid the island of goats in an effort to comply with federal laws aimed at protecting several types of endangered plant and animal species on the island, Mitchell said. He said the hunters would return to the 57-square-mile island, 65 miles northwest of San Diego, on Thursday to track down the surviving goats.
