Because she had a master's degree in nursing she was commissioned as a captain. Once in the guard she completed the 3-year Command and General Staff course and was nominated to Congress for promotion to colonel by an Army selection board. For 1 1 years, Fleming served in the 144th Evacuation Hospital three years as chief of nursing and had just been transferred to guard headquarters in Draper when the 144th was mobilized for Operation Desert Storm without her.

"I had mixed feelings (when the unit was mobilized). And though I had young children to consider, this was my unit, I had trained with them and felt responsible," she said. "It just felt wrong that I wasn't with them." Her husband, Pat Fleming, director of education and prevention programs for Utah County Substance Abuse and chairman of the American Fork Planning Commission, is proud of his wife's accomplishment. "She really does make a difference," he said. tion among her troops.

"The important thing is that people are able to work well together and that they can see you really have something to offer. If you do, it doesn't matter if you are male or female." she said. Fleming said being a female officer in the military can lend itself to embarrassing moments. "When I travel I am often called she said. "Then they see I'm a woman and they feel embarrassed.

I just tell them its OK." Once, while at a neighborhood fair, she said, someone told her son that his mother wore combat boots, to which her son looked up startled and replied, "How did you know?" Fleming said she became interested in the military during the Vietnam war. She was studying nursing at the University of Utah in 1969 and saw a lot of her friends inducted into the military. "When some of my friends went off to war, it felt strange that I wasn't going with them," she said. She joined the National Guard in 1978 after being drawn to military recruiters' booths set up at nursing American Fork woman promoted AMERICAN FORK (AP) -The Utah National Guard has promoted an American Fork woman to "full-bird colonel."

Gary Zeluff in overseeing the training of medical personnel in the Guard for mobilization in the event of war, civil unrest or natural disaster. In civilian life, she is assistant administrator of nursing services at American Fork Hospital. "I feel very strongly about being part of the community, and since I am a nurse, I can share that experience by teaching others," she said. The mother of two downplays her role as a woman in her position, saying her goal has always been to develop a spirit of coopera court or imminently pending in a closed meeting. Sen.

Lyle Hillyard, (R-Dist. 25), had told media and public interests officials he would sponsor the legislation if the ULCT and the Utah Association of Counties -could reach an agreement with rep- resentatives from the news media on what changes needed to be made to the law. Campbell also said the recently formed Utah Foundation for Open Government (FOG) is considering educating the public about the defi-' ciencies of the act by advertising its violations and abuses on radio and television stations and in newspapers around the state. Media attorney Jeff Hunt said the attorney general's office is proposing creating a task force with representatives from the news media, local, county and state govern-. ment officials and public interest groups to study the act and its By SHEILA SANCHEZ Herald Staff Writer PROVO Efforts to amend the Utah Open Meetings Act have stalled after proponents and opponents of changing some of its provisions couldn't agree on key issues.

A draft bill proposing changes to improve the act, written by a committee made up of journalists, media attorneys and freedom of information advocates, never made it to the hill. Some of the proposed changes to the law included penalizing its violators with at least a $1,000 fine and a Class misdemeanor. "At this point, it's dead," said Joel Campbell, freedom of information chairman for the Utah Headliners Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. Campbell said media representatives and officials from the Utah League of Cities and Towns were unable to reach a compromise on the bill. The Daily Herald, while covering a Utah Attorney General's investigation into the violation of the act by the Provo Municipal Council, reported in December about media efforts to give the law more teeth.

Other proposed changes to the law included requiring governing bodies to record closed meetings if court action was brought against them. The tape recording would allow a judge to determine if the law was violated. Currently public bodies may close their meetings only to discuss the character, competence, health of an individual; strategy for collective bargaining, litigation or real estate purchase, security measures and criminal investigations. Other inadequacies of the open meetings act include vagueness about what kind of litigation a public body may consider in a closed meeting.
