By C.E. Hanna BRAND Staff Writer Personnel requests from the Deaf Smith County (DSC) Sheriff’s Office and the county jail alone would necessitate a 1-cent tax increase as determined by the DSC Commissioners Court during budget workshop discussions. According to Sheriff J. Dale Butler, transportation demands and county and court coverage requires an additional deputy, while the jail seeks two additional jail-

Usain Bolt vies for gold in three events this week at the Rio Olympics on NBC and other outlets.

Bolt goes for sweep No. 3 in Rio By George Dickie © Zap2it
He’s still considered the “fastest man alive” — just not as fast as he once was. And this week Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt will try to do what no man or woman has done in Olympic competition as he endeavors to sweep the 100-meter, 200-meter and 4x100 events for the third-straight Summer Games at the Rio Olympics
beginning Sunday, Aug. 14, on NBC and other outlets. The 29-year-old Bolt gave the crowds in Beijing a memory they won’t soon forget back in 2008 when he swept the three events, all in world record time. Four years later in London, he repeated the feat — though he didn’t set any speed records — to become the first to sweep all three events in consecutive Olympics. “Well, it’d be nice to be able to slow down but still
be the fastest man in the world,” says NBC studio host Dan Patrick, “so when somebody says ‘slowing down,’ he’s still faster than anybody else in the world. And once again, we’re going to see how he reacts to that knowing that there are younger guys — the margin of error is shrinking for him but to still be the guy to beat in those events is pretty remarkable.” In the 100-meter event on Sunday, Bolt is certainly
vulnerable. Coming off a hamstring injury, he’ll be up against a field that includes American Justin Gatlin, the 2004 Olympic champion in the 100 meter and the fastest man in 2014 and 2015; fellow countryman Yohan Blake, who owns the world’s second-fastest mark in that event; and Team USA’s Trayvon Bromell, the bronze medalist at the 2015 World Championships. In the 200-meter on Thursday, Aug. 18, experts seem

to agree that Bolt will likely take home gold against a field including Gatlin and Blake — assuming that he’s healthy. “It’s still the most fascinating event I saw in London when he ran the 200 meters,” Patrick says, “and it’s one thing to see somebody on TV running fast. It was something completely different to be at the stadium at night and to watch him make that turn — and I was sitting right at the turn — and when
he made the turn and was heading for home, then you saw a different speed. TV does not do him justice. And it didn’t last long. You know, it’s 20 seconds but man it was pretty incredible. It was very, very powerful.” The 4x100-meter event on Friday, Aug. 19, could be where Bolt comes up short as Jamaica has one of its weakest relay teams in years. The Americans could have the advantage here.

In an effort to recoup missed revenue opportunities, the Deaf Smith County Hospital District (DSCHD) Board of Directors moved to conditionally accept a contract with Ni2 Health. The board elected the company’s performance-based option and will ultimately pay out 33 percent of the money that Ni2 Health collects above HRMC’s current baseline. “There are several contractual issues that we need to address,” DSCHD interim CEO Gene Schuler said. “There are several indemnifications, and we need to take those out.” Schuler believes that the contract will ultimately be negotiated in the district’s favor. A secondary contract will carry a $202,000 fixed fee for completing electronic medical record conversion SCHULER and a termination clause should Ni2 Health prove unable to deliver. A significant portion of lost revenue for HRMC has been due to incorrect medical coding, a byproduct of transitioning from ICD-9 to ICD-10, (six-character alpha-numeric codes to classify medical conditions). According to the Medicaid website, ICD-10 contains 68,000 codes versus ICD-9’s 13,000, but HRMC chief operations officer Meri Killingsworth said coding problems are on the mend. “We have two coders in the hospital and one in the clinic, which is adequate,” she said. “We have to depend on the technology because you can’t expect someone to keep up with that many new codes.” In the event that unforeseen
