The property complete com-plete filled the storage shed in which it was found and required two pickup trucks and a 16 foot trailer to remove it all. This all came about because of the outstanding efforts of a couple of good patrol officers, offi-cers, Ryan Porter and Randy Clements. They followed fol-lowed up with witnesses and suspects and didn't let the matter die until they had located the storage shed, and working through an attorney for the prime suspect, were able to get into the shed and identify the property as being stolen. Some of the types of items recovered were power saws, drills, and nail guns; kerosene heaters, large propane tanks, ladders, scaffolding, etc. Here's the history on this Officer recovered a stolen $3000 concrete saw last Thursday night from a storage shed that had been stolen from Q Concrete (484 S.

Officers responded this morning (6:00 AM) to a gas stationconvenience store early this morning on a reported civil problem between an employee of the business and a customer. cus-tomer. The customer, a 30-year-old Payson man, pumped $15 worth of gas into his truck and tried to pay for the gas with a $100 bill. The business didn't have enough change to break a $100 and the customer cus-tomer had no other method of paying for the gas. The customer was upset so the employee called the police to see if officers could help resolve the situation. In the meantime, the customer left the store and attempted attempt-ed to drive away, but didn't get far, as one of his truck's tire fell off as he was leaving leav-ing the parking lot. He told officers when they arrived that he had planned to go down the road to Home Depot and get change and had no intention of skipping out on the gas he pumped. While talking to the officers, offi-cers, there was apparently a sudden influx of new customers cus-tomers into the business and the employee told the officers that she now had enough change to handle the $100 bill. The transaction transac-tion was now complete and the employee was happy. The Payson man, however, still had to deal with his broken down truck, and he'll have to see to it after he gets out of jail, because he had two active statewide warrants for his arrest. He was booked into the Orem holding facility. Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.

World Researchers seek people exposed to radiation fallout SALT LAKE CITY-In an ongoing study of thyroid diseases dis-eases related to nuclear testing at the Nevada Test Site, University of Utah School of Medicine researchers are looking look-ing to reconnect with people who went to grade school or high school in Washington County, Utah, in the early 1960s. The 40-year study, funded by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is examining the effects of radioactive fallout from above-ground nuclear tests from 1951-1958. U researchers led by Joseph L. Lyon, M.D., M.P.H., professor of public health and deputy associate chair for research in the Department of Family and Preventive Medicine, have completed Phases I and II of the study, and are now launching Phase III. Letters inviting past participants par-ticipants to join Phase III will go out in early February. "Above-ground nuclear testing has forever impacted the lives of individuals in the Intermountain West and across the nation," said Lyon. "The radioactive cloud resulting result-ing from Event Harry, detonated deto-nated on May 19, 1953, continues con-tinues to have adverse effects on the families, communities and individuals in its path." The goal of the study, officially offi-cially named Epidemiologic Follow-Up of Thyroid Disease in Persons Exposed to Radiation Fallout from Atomic Weapons Testing at Nevada A Loan Call Today! wU mZf Zf3 Life Business" lj) Health Technologies, Inc., a Utah based company is holding a seminar for diabetics, dia-betics, doctors and anyone who wants to learn how to stop, retard andor reverse the progress of Diabetes.

A secondary purpose is to investigate inves-tigate the relationship between radiation and reproductive repro-ductive history, as well as radiation radi-ation and family history of thyroid thy-roid disease. People who participate in Phase IJJ will receive free medical med-ical tests and thyroid screen ing, and $50 m compensation. In the 1950s, the U.S. government gov-ernment tested nuclear weapons at the Nevada Test Site in southern Nevada. The above-ground tests exposed much of the nation to radioactive radioac-tive fallout, particularly people in Washington County, Utah, and Lincoln County, Nevada. The nuclear fallout included radioactive iodine, or radioio-dine, radioio-dine, which is a major public health concern because it can damage the thyroid gland. U researchers in 1965 began Phase I of the study on school children living in the two counties. Doctors examined exam-ined their thyroid glands to find out if exposure to fallout from the Nevada Test Site is associated with thyroid disease. dis-ease. Researchers also examined exam-ined a comparison group of children living in Graham County, Arizona, who were not as heavily exposed to fallout. In 1985-1986 researchers re-examined these same people peo-ple (Phase II) for thyroid disease dis-ease and concluded that exposure to radioiodines gen- . erated at the Nevada Test Site increased the risk of thyroid thy-roid tumors. But the correlation correla-tion was limited by the small number of subjects in the highest exposure group and the relatively short time that had elapsed since exposure. In Phase HI, U researchers will examine the same people for the third time, and Lyon believes it will strengthen the earlier conclusions because Phase DI extends the study by 15 years, which is important because thyroid disease may not occur until 40 years or longer after radiation exposure. Phase III will include people peo-ple who participated in the first two phases, were born between 1946 and 1958, and lived in Washington or Lincoln County for at least one year between January 1951 and December 1958. Study participants also will include children living in Graham County, Arizona, during the same time period. Each study participant will receive a thyroid ultrasound scan, a thyroid examination, and must provide a small sample of blood. Also, study subjects will be asked to provide pro-vide a medical history. Based on the results of the medical examination, the participant may need further evaluation. In the event that thyroid disease dis-ease is detected or was reported report-ed in the past, medical records and pathology specimens' speci-mens' will be collected and reviewed by medical experts. "The findings from this study will provide valuable information about the health effects of early childhood exposure expo-sure to radioactive iodine," says Lyon. "Each study subject's sub-ject's participation in this Phase is crucially important and greatly appreciated."
