Residents in Mona are annoyed with pet owners who dont abide by the rules. They are fed up with animals, mostly dogs, that are allowed to roam around the neighborhood and create havoc. Correspondent s Nephi City Police are getting a lot of reports on gas skips and the police want to encourage store clerks on what they can do to help catch ' culprits. Chad Bowles, Nephi City Police Chief, said it is more important for the clerk to observe the thief for a few seconds and then go to the phone and call police. If the attendant can give a good description of the car and get even a partial plate number and state, it is a big help, said Bowles. Another thing clerks can do, he said, is to go outside and observe the direction of travel. Did they get on the free-- ' way? Did they go up Salt Creek Canyon or did they head back into town. Did they take a secondary road? It is also good to have some description of the individual burglar. The bit, of time it takes to observe will make it a whole lot easier for us to apprehend the thief, said Bowles. Bowles said clerks also need to be aware of those who write a check for a small item and then ask to make the check out for $40 to $60 more than the purchase price. We would ask the clerks to give us a call, said Bowles. It is good if the clerk can pay attention to what the person is driving. These checks usually result in drug purchases. It gives us something to look to, he said. Police Chief Bowles warns residents about mysterious phone calls By Myrna Trauntvein Times-New- Correspondent s Politeness does not require anyone to answer questions of a personal nature. On October 3 and 4, a male called elderly residents and wanted to know personal information about them. If any of you are called, you need to notify the police department so that we can check it out, said Chad Bowles, Nephi City Police Chief. He said the calls may be being made by someone who is trying to determine who is home at the residence. If the homeowner lives alone, or if there are just one or two people at the home, it may be a target for burglars. The man is asking who is at home and how many people live in the home, said the leash law and asked that something be done to curb the problem. Councilwoman Darlene Clerks are given advice on helping stop gas skips Myrna Trauntvein come out and pick up a stray or loose dog. The question was asked of who would cover the cost of Nephi picking up strays? The council didnt feel like they should be responsible for that cost. According to the council, Mona is currently unable to provide a shelter to house the animals and cannot afford to Residents also complained that the city doesnt enforce If the situation fits, he said, the individuals may try burglary. He said officer suspect the person making the calls is interested in obtaining prescription drugs which can then be used illegally. Drugs such as pain killers are on the wanted list of would-bthieves. e Fowkes stated that the city does have a leash law and it needs to be enforced a day. Secretary Lori Elbert commented that several people had called her and asked about animal control being reinstated. Councilman Harry Newell asked the pertinent question, Do they want the job? Newell stated that he had asked Nephi City about providing animal control in Mona, but he said that he was told it would cost around $80.00 for Nephis officer to hire an animal control Everd Squire, a past mayor of Mona, responded to the matter by stating that he had the same problems and concerns when he was mayor. The issue remains to be acted upon, but council members will look into all options. The Friends of the Library raise $800 at book fair The Friends of the Library had a successful book fair.

We By Rebecca Dopp Times-New- s Correspondent Monas youth asked about the skate park progress at council meeting last Tuesday night. Mayor Bryce Lynn said that they are currently in the design process and asked for some input from the youth. One individual said that he would like to see a half-pipor quarter-pipimplemented in the design, as w ell as grind rails and jumps. He said that he would like to have certain elements that mirrored e e Pay-son- s skate park. Mayor Lynn encouraged the youth to take pictures of other parks and present them to him for consideration. He also stated that the city couldn't provide everything due to cost, but would try to make it an enjoyable place for young people to use. Lynn commented on how the youth would be very helpful and instrumental in getting the park done, especially with the council being uneducated in skater terminology", Lynn also asked the youth how they would maintain the skate park after it was completed. The youth said they would take care of it and not destroy it. Just for the record, a froe is an antique gardening tool.Thats just one of the interesting facts weve learned from one of our customers.
