Brock Jones Time is one of life's biggest contradictions, never passing fast enough when we wish it would, and frying by when we wish it would linger. The first month of this deployment felt as though it would never end, like I was caught in an eternal March that would never yield to April and the succeeding months. It seemed like the longest lon-gest month I have ever lived. I felt strangely claustrophobic because it seemed that time had literally stopped and I was doomed to be away from those I love, and my home, forever. For deployed soldiers, measuring mea-suring the passage of time reminds us that the days are actually going by. We mark our physical and mental calendars calen-dars with big Xs over the days that have passed as proof that time is continuing its course. We use every holiday and birthday and anniversary, any future event, as a measuring measur-ing stick to gauge the flow of time. Having something to look forward to makes the days seem to go by easier, if not faster. One of the most anticipated dates during a deployment is the day we get to come home temporarily on environmen tal morale leave. We silently plead for the days leading up to our leave date to fly by. When we finally are home on leave, time quickly begins to work against us. Days that once dragged on now pass by at such a rate that it is dreamlike dream-like and dizzying. There seems to be never enough time during the short break to do all the things dreamed about and planned, never enough time to completely 4 enjoy a simple moment alone with a loved one, or a catch with a son, or a tea-time with a daughter, or a chat with an ailing parent or grandparent. Always in the back of our mind is the fact that nothing about leave is permanent. Almost as soon as leave begins, it is over and the moment mo-ment arrives for yet another long drive to the airport, another an-other emotional blitzkrieg as goodbyes are expressed, and another long walk through security down to the departure depar-ture gate. While boarding the plane, we can't help but think that it seems like only yesterday yester-day that leave began. I wonder if the tendency of time to alternate between dragging on and flying by is less an issue of time than an issue is-sue of perception. It is not the actual duration of minutes and hours and days that changes, but our perception of time, dictated by our current state of mind. Days when we feel disconnected or unhappy or alone or afraid, seem endless, and days when we feel content con-tent and happy and fearless seem to be over in a blink. The time we have, whether good or bad, happy or sad, satisfying or unsatisfying, is so utterly valuable because it's not a renewable resource. Time cannot be recycled like a crushed soda can. We will never be reimbursed for even a second of lost time. The only thing left to do is attempt to live content with both good days and bad ones, with long days and those that fly by like a dream, because the day will come when our very lives will seem to have passed by in a dream, only yesterday. ' Still, I can't help but look forward to coming home on leave. I Staff Sgt. Brock Jones is a Lehi resident and graduate of Lehi High School.

Officers responded Friday night to a family fight in the area of 1500 South and 280 East. When officers arrived, they discovered that the dispute was about some possibly stolen property in the possession of 32-year-old Dustin Morgan, according to Orem police Lt. Doug Edwards. The property included a flat-screen TV, XBox 360 and marijuana plants, complete with grow lights and related equipment. Officers arrested Morgan on charges of theft and burglary, Edwards said. Officers tried contacting Jacob Huff, 23, who owns the stolen property, but he was not home. On Sunday, officers of-ficers contacted Huff as he was walking to his home, according to Edwards. Huff had been parking park-ing his truck down the street and around the corner, instead of in his driveway. Huff told officers that he was missing a flat-screen TV and an XBox 360, but denied owning the recovered marijuana plants, Edwards said. He allowed officers to search his home, where they found evidence of drug paraphernalia, including a box of dirt mailed to Huff from Arkansas. Huff was arrested on suspicion of cultivating marijuana. mari-juana. Huff was also booked into the Utah County Jail.
