The- task force will study domestic violence in Utah and - make recommendations for legislation. Davis appointment was made by the Utah Sheriff s Association. In the years Ive been in law enforcement, I have witnessed the destructive nature of domestic violence on families," Davis said. When there is violence in the home, everybody suffers and many times the children are the silent victims. They witness the violence and carry the emotional trauma throughout their lives. We need to do a better job in helping victims of domestic violence. New laws went into effect on July 1 which change the way law enforcement agencies handle domestic violence cases. State Rep. Marda Dillree, who sponsored domestic violence legislation earlier this year, said shes pleased with Davis appointment to the task force. The legislature has accomplished a lot by passing a large amount of domestic violence legislation in the last session, but there is certainly a lot more we can do, Dillree said. I was absolutely delighted with Sheriff Davis willingness to serve on this committee. He has taken a strong stance against domestic violence, and I look forward to working with him as we pull together legislation to handle the many other problems associated with the increasing number of these cases. Rep. Dillree has done a lot of hard work in bringing this issue and the appropriate legislation to the forefront. And she certainly needs to be applauded for all the work shes done, Davis said. Dillree s legislation has made a number of changes in the proce- dures law enforcement agencies follow. As a result, the Sheriffs Department is conducting exten sive training to bring our deputies on the changes in these laws and the new procedures they are to follow, Davis said. We have assigned two of our deputies who have been trained by the state on new procedures they are to follow. We have assigned two of our deputies who have been trained by the state on the new procedures to teach these courses and all of our deputies are required to attend the four-hotraining, Davis said. He expects additional changes to be implemented after the task force has had a chance to review the procedures which deal with te victim services and counseling. Victims, young children and other family members who witness acts of violence in their homes, may need additional support to help them deal with emotional trauma, Davis said. We will keep this in mind as we consider any changes that need to be made. YEAR FACTOR FACTOR DUILT AREA! AREA 1991 1992 continued from front value on which tax is assessed from 68 percent to 55 percent. Fifty-fiv- e percent of $200,000 is $1 10.000. That is the amount on which taxes would ' be based. Each city in Davis County will be told by the state what its new tax rate must be for 1995. All have been adjusted due to the lowering of the uniform school fund. Each city could have chosen to hold a special election to tax at an increased tax rate if the state increased the 1995 tax rate, but 3 1.40 1.35 1.50 ....1.20 .

The biggest problem we can see is in the older homes now owned by older people that are now on the tax rolls valued at $40,000 when in fact they are selling for $120,000, said Gardner. Vacant and commercial land in all areas were either reappraised or factored by 1.30. The fact that values were increased by an indicated factor does not mean a corresponding increase in the tax will be asssessed. Gardner said properties with factors over 1.40 could see increases in tax liability. none did. Filing deadline for special elections was June 20, 1995. Gardner said that means that each of the cities will tax at the same rate as they did in 1994. Using a tax rate of .015 on the Bountiful home described above, taxes would decrease from $1,666.30 in 1994 to $1,650.00 in 1995. Each factor area is different, (see chart) but all use the same formula based on an individual citys tax rate. Gardner said 65,000 tax notices will be sent out by the end of July showing the new market value and the new taxes on each property. Property owners can compare the 1995 notice to 1994s to see the dif Hansen introduces land bill Congressman Jim Hansen (1st introduced legislaDistrict, tion that would give states the opportunity to manage those lands currently under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The BLM currently manages nearly 270 million acres of public lands and the Hansen legislation would give states the ability to manage the lands within their own borders. Transferring the Bf,M lands to the states is a common sense approach to bring public management of these lands closer to the people who live around, recreate and work on these lands. This legislation will return to the Western States the ability to control their own destiny, a principle this country was founded upon, Hansen said. Under the Hansen legislation, the Secretary of the Interior would offer all BLM lands within each state to the governor and state legislature who many people in the West who whole may accept or reject the offer. Once a state chooses to accept the lands, they would be transferred to the state after a ten year period to allow for the transition. All valid existing rights must be respected by the state and the ten year period will allow for a smooth transi- heartedly support my efforts including governors and many state legislators, Hansen said. These lands would remain public, but administered by the government closest to the people. The bill will protect access for hunters, sportsmen and recreationists while at the same time building the states economics and giving people more control over their futures. This is a great method of reducing the federal budget, while increasing states rights. I believe that once people get past the scare tactics of the opposition, we will see widespread support for this bold initiative whose time has come, Hansen concluded. tion for all interested parties. Moreover, the states must continue to manage designed wilderness areas under the mandates of the 1964 Wilderness Act, Hansen added. As chairman of the House Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Lands, Hansen has scheduled a hearing on this legislation in early August. A companion bill in the Senate is being introduced by Sen. Craig Thomas of I am dedicated to giving this issue a full airing before Congress.

Do you remember the days of Buick ambulances and a small J.C. Penney store on Main Street? These long gone reminders of a former era cannot be seen today, but there are many reminders of yesteryear spread throughout the county including the Kaysville Granary and the Presbyterian Church that is the only one of its kind in the state. yoti-kno- AN OASIS IN THE MIDDLE OF SUBURBIA: Cool water pours from West Bountiful resident Max Kerr's well. Kerr, who recently had the water tested, lets the water run for any thirsty traveler near his 1600 North property. People enjoy the water which is often better tasting than that they get from the tap. SPEED continued from front chemicals away for disposal. Trooper Dan Altenes, pulled a vehicle over for speeding on near Parrish Lane in Centerville about 8:40 a.m. Two men were in the car, but neither had identification papers and couldnt give an adequate explanation of who they were, according to Michaud. When Altenes returned to his vehicle to check out the pairs story, he notice furtive movements in the car and called for back-u- p. Centerville Police responded. As the two were exiting the car, the officers notice drug paraphernalia in plain view, as well as a small quantity of methamphetamine, also known as crank. Upon further investigation, they found equipment for a drug lab and all the chemicals necessary in the trunk of the vehicle, including equipment not commonly used else where. Michaud said possession of the chemicals used to produce crank are legal, but are volatile and the fumes are toxic when combined. The officers also found a set of instructions for setting up a methamphetamine lab, scales and a pH. tester. What we found was an lab, Michaud said. Crank has become the drug of choice, Michaud said, because its cheaper than cocaine, since ingredients dont have to be imported and it can be made on site. He said 10 years ago. if police caught someone with a snort straw and white powt was assumed it was cocaine. Today, der in their possession, officers assume its crank and only if tests for crank are negative do they test for cocaine. Michaud didnt release the names of the two arrested, as they havent faced arraignment. He said the man from California has an extensive criminal background. The man from Ogden does not.

If the pain persists, the muscles may contract habitually to reduce circulation and allow the waste products from inflammation and normal muscle function to build up. Eventually, the contracted muscle may be reduced to a shortened state. In order to address muscle tension before it leads to complications, the chiropractor may use massage as an adjunct to manipulation to get muscles to relax. Not only is massage therapy helpful in reducing the muscle tension that arises in response to injury and illness, but it is useful in relaxing muscle tension create by stress. Backache spells trouble, because backache, no matter how infrequent seemingly inconsequently or fleeting, is cause for serious consideration.
