Wellever has a masters of social work degree and has worked for the department for more than three years. She has also served as director direc-tor of unit services for the Association Associa-tion of Retarded Citizens, and was a Social Service coordinator for the Army Community Service in Child porn case is investigated A man was arrested by Summit County Sheriff's officials on the evening of Jan. 11 for alleged involvement in-volvement in a child pornography case, according to Det. Joe Off ret. The arrest took place in the north Summit County area, but the county attorney's office has declined releasing releas-ing the name of the man pending his arraignment next Tuesday. A spokesperson from the attorney's office of-fice said county attorney, Robert Adkins, has not yet determined the exact charges that will be brought against the man. Until that time, no information regarding the incident will be released. In other involvements, Offret said the sheriff's office has been in Begin fire education early, say firemen by the PARK CITY FIRE SERVICE DISTRICT What's the right age to start learning learn-ing about fire? Conventional practice has always been to begin serious fire education at about the fifth-grade level. But as we know, fire and burns can happen to younger children, too. Recently, pioneering fire education educa-tion research shows conclusively that children as young as three years old can learn effective fire-safety fire-safety behaviors, if they are presented a little bit at a time, with frequent repetition, and in a way that's fun. Pre-schoolers can't absorb technical information about fire. But they can master simple home escape techniques ("stay low and go"), learn the "stop, drop and roll" technique for extinguishing clothing fires, and develop a healthy attitude about matches. The keys are to keep everything on the child's level, demonstrate desired behaviors, and get the child involved. Don't just stop, drop and roll yourself, have the child do it with you. Home Escape. Here the objective is to train the child how to respond when the smoke detector sounds by rolling out of bed onto the floor, feeling feel-ing the bedroom door for heat, and if it's safe to do so crawling out of the bedroom and out of the house to a specified meeting point. Escape via a window if the door is warm. Children should be taught to wait at the window if escape is impossible. Safety in numbers... Utahns are faring well with the 65 mph speed limit but need to improve highway safety through increased seat belt usage, according to the state Department of Public Safety. The departent recently put the state's safety record up against that of 22 other states surveyed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. While those states experienced a 50 percent increase in 65 mph highway deaths, Utah had no increase in the number of people who had died, and actually ac-tually experienced a decline in the total number of fatal accidents. The commissioner of the department, John T. Nielson, credited a portion of the success to a traffic safety program called ARRIVE ALIVE. When comparing the state's seat belt statistics, Utahns are on par with the rest of the nation. But Utah Highway Safety officials feel there is need for improvement, im-provement, and in this area enforcement is critical. Nielson said that even though Utah is in line with the national average, 60 to 70 percent of Utahns do not use seat belts. And according to an August 1987 survey, only 24 percent of Utah children under age five are properly restrained. , . .. "There is no doubt that restraints are effective in reducing deaths and injuries in-juries for law enforcement officers as well as Utah citizens," Nielson said. "With the support of the state's police and sheriff departments I expect belt use in Utah to significantly Increase during the next few months." Information is The Utah Crime Solvers agency requests information regarding a burglary in which $:0,000 in cash and property was taken from a Salt Lake City acting theater Nov. 8. The Hale Center Theater, located at 2801 S. Main St., was burglarized at 2:30 a.m. A suspect, described as a white male in his 30s, 5'11", muscularly built with short black hair, was seen in the theater's parking park-ing lot. He wore black-rimmed glasses and a brown leather coat. A witness stated that the suspect loaded a "Swinger" brand forklift which was parked outside of the Heidelberg, Germany. Her responsibilities respon-sibilities will include child welfare and adult services in Summit County. Coun-ty. Duties will include the investigation investiga-tion and referral of child abuse and neglect cases, and adult abuse or exploitation ex-ploitation cases, adoption supervision, supervi-sion, and licensing of foster homes for children. Salowey is joining the Department of Social Services for the first time. She has been serving as the director of Mountainlands Developmental Disabilities, Inc., in Heber. She will become the case manager for ser vestigating a number of vehicle thefts, burglaries and ongoing incidences in-cidences of cattle rustling. Offret said most of the vehicle thefts have been in the Summit Park and ParkWest areas of the county. He said items taken have generally been miscellaneous things from glove compartments, instead of large items like stereos. A number of ski thefts have also been reported to the sheriff's department, all of which have taken place at ParkWest, with the exception of one theft at a Silver Springs residence. Ongoing incidences of cattle rustling rustl-ing are being investigated by the sheriff's department as well. According Accor-ding to Offret, several head of yearl A child of three or four can learn this sequence, and it's far better that the child be able to escape on its own than that you simply assume you'll be able to rescue the child. Keep things concrete. Set off the smoke detector manually so the child will recognize the sound. Have the child perform all the behaviors, one at a time: rolling out of bed, then crawling to the door, etc. To keep the child's interest, use multiple short sessions, and treat it as a game call it "stay low and go." Stop, drop and roll. The first step is to teach the youngster that all his or her clothing can burn, and that fire will hurt. To be concrete, use an example such as "fire will hurt worse than the sting of 1,000 bees." Now demonstrate the stop, drop and roll technique, and have the child practice often. Attach a little felt "flame" to the child's clothing. The rolling movements will cause the felt to drop off, giving the child the reinforcement of having "put out the fire." Matches. Research has shown that young children do not respond well to negative language remember the last time you told your preschooler "no?" So pronouncements pro-nouncements like, "Don't play with matches" are not sufficient. Today's the day to start teaching your child about fire. The effort may pay off for life.

The truck was a later model vehicle, in poor condition and a missing front grill. The thief then entered the building and helped himself to a 13" color television, a microwave oven and a stereo system. A safe, located in the business office, was then wheeled outside and loaded onto the truck. It contained more than $3,000 in cash, plus theater tickets.

He said officials were checking out some leads in a different area of the county where the cattle were thought to be, and that the cattle had been taken from several different victims who run livestock in the county. Sheriff's officials are also investigating in-vestigating some burglaries that occurred oc-curred last summer which might be related to arrests Salt Lake County officials made two weeks ago. Offret said some property has already been recovered by his department, and expects arrests to be forthcoming.

" " ' : The county weed board has targeted this area within the county to conduct an organized weed control program. Representatives from, the Utah State Department of Agriculture, the Utah State University Extension Service and the Summit County Weed Board will attend the meeting. They will explain the Utah Noxious Weed Law and landowners' responsibilities under the law.

There will be time during the meeting for discussion with questions and answers. All landowners within this area are urged to attend the meeting. Utah ns get tax rel ief With the new year, Utahns' take-home pay will increase by $16 million as a .result of new withholding schedules. The schedules, sent out by the State Tax Commission, are part of the continued phase-in of the federal and state income in-come tax reforms. - As Utahns complete their 1987 income taxes, they will note that state tax reform has increased the personal exemption to $1,425. In 1988, the state personal per-sonal exemption will increase to $1,463. In 1989, the personal exemption will go to $1,500. But from 1973 to 1986 it was held constant at $750. State tax reform is also phasing in increases in the standard deduction: single returns in 1987, $2,540 and in 1988, $3,000; joint returns in 1987, $3,760 and . in 1988, $5,000; heads of households in 1987, $2,540 and in 1988, $4,400; and married mar-ried separate in 1987, $1,880 and in 1988, $2,550. Despite an era of double-digit inflation, the state standard deduction hovered between $1,300 and $2,000 from 1973 until 1986. Employers received the new withholding schedules from the State Tax Commission in December so they could make changes by January. Since the changes only affect alteration in numbers and not withholding methodology, the change-over should be less cumbersome than that required in July, 1987, when the withholding methodology was changed. The state income tax reform of 1987 closely paralleled the federal reforms. In the process of making the state income tax more progressive, approximately approx-imately 70,000 low-income Utahns were removed from the tax rolls. Qrm fv rv r:x ifX fX 1 1 - V&" l ..
