Megan Conrad, a Springville Middle School student, decided to get involved by collecting teddy bears for the suffering children in Southeast Asia. "My sister and I were watching watch-ing T.V. and saw pictures of people who had lost everything in the tsunami. We thought of all the little kids and decided there had to be some way to help them." This desire to help resulted in "Teddy Bears for Thailand." Megan asked students at Springville Middle School to donate their teddy bears and other stuffed animals. This request was met with great enthusiasm and support from the students. Their goal of 500 teddy bears was reached after only a couple of days and by week's end the tally was well over 900 bears. The bears will be shipped to Asia next week. tyression Years in Springville, topic at The public is invited to the first of the 2005 lecture series se-ries sponsored by the Springville Historical Society.

Sooth Springuillc 001 Locking the doors of opportunity: How to discourage home burglaries Don Hicken When I was eleven, the parents par-ents of two of my friends discovered dis-covered that their sons were living beyond their means and forced a confession that the boys had been stealing from me. They said it was my fault because I left money in plain sight, tempting them. What I learned from this experience was that like it or not (and I didn't), I had a duty to help keep weak people honest. For some, honesty is not so much a goal as it is a condition condi-tion of lack of opportunity to be otherwise. Too many residents resi-dents of Springville are leaving leav-ing the doors of opportunity unlocked, tempting the weak among us. The boys had a point: When we make it too easy, we share the fault. What can we do to make burglary harder? 1. Lock our doors! Astonishingly, Aston-ishingly, this one simple action ac-tion would eliminate most burglaries (78) in Springville. Eventually some burglars will learn a few new tricks. To stay ahead of them you will need to learn a few yourself , such as: 2. Inventory and record your valuables - make, model, mod-el, serial number, value. 3. Organize a neighborhood neighbor-hood watch, with Springville Police Department help. Make no mistake, your house is already being watched, but by those who want to help themselves, not you. 4. Contact your homeowners homeown-ers insurance company or the Springville Police Department for hints on how to make your house harder to break into. Most home improvement improve-ment stores will be happy to show you how to install home security items you buy there. 5. Get a motion light. Mine cost $11. 6. Upgrade your locks and deadbolts. The metal plate that the lock bolt slides into needs to be anchored to the 2 x 4's in the wall, not just the door frame. You would be astonished as-tonished to see how easy it is to kick in a door if this isn't done. 7. Replace glass with Plexi-glas Plexi-glas or security film in doors or other locations where a crook can reach through a broken pane and open your door. 8.

Same for sliding windows. 9. A locking gate to your backyard is good; a lock plus a motion light or sensor is better. bet-ter. 10. A peephole (best) or door chain lets you screen visitors, vis-itors, especially at night. 11. There are special clamps which limit how far sliding windows will open, allowing fresh air in, but keeping creeps out. 12. If you rent, get renter's insurance. It won't stop crime, but it will make it less painful. 13. If you're going away for a while, stop your mail, paper and any other deliveries; put some lights on a timer; leave the radio on; and have a friend check on things. 14. Drive safely, have an extra set of keys, and get along with your family. This will give police more time for crime fighting. Nest month we will talk about storage shed and auto burglaries.
