CORALEE BRIERLEY and Alice Kase of the Socorro General Hospital Foundation learn about the hospital’s new heart monitor-defibrillator from Joe Strasser, a representative of General Medical in Albuquerque. The new unit, compact, versatile and weighing a relatively light 44 pounds, was delivered in late August. Purchase of the unit was made possible through the efforts of the Foundation Board which held a very successful fund-raising dance. Operating either on batteries or regular current the monitor-defibrillator can be taken wherever it is needed. Cost was $3,000. The hospital conducted a series of in-service sessions on operation and maintenance of the machine for staff and doctors last week.

COACH SAMMY VIVIAN’S sophomore-dominated Socorro High volleyball team has been steadily improving since the first of the year. The Warriors finally broke through with a big win over the weekend defeating Cobre 15-7, 15-12, 9-15, 15-6. The youthful Warriors defeated a much more experienced Cobre squad. Vivian said seven out of Cobre’s 10 players are seniors. “We can finish second, third or fourth in district, depending on how we finish up,” he said. Vivian knows how it is to have a senior-dominated team, including two now playing in college, and then lose them. This year he is starting with four sophomores, a junior and a senior.

THE NEW SOCORRO COUNTY Detention Center is still on target to open near the end of December. Detention Center administrator Ed Sweeney told the Socorro County Board of commissioners that inmates at the current facility will soon be transferred to other facilities across the state to allow detention center personnel to undergo training before they move into the new facility off Highway 60. Sweeney said interviews were also being conducted for additional positions that needed to be filled at the new detention facility. As of last week, 43 inmates are housed at the current facility with 28 being held elsewhere. Sweeney said an alternative sentencing program was being established, which could help reduce the inmate population.
