A fight broke out between one-time friends yesterday morning. A resident resi-dent of the house told her friend (guest) to get out after the guest had slammed a door in the home. Leading up to that, there had been words about the odorous condition condi-tion of the woman's baby boy's messy diaper. The guest said that she'd leave "forthwith and started col-. col-. lecting her belongings. The fight broke out when the guest demanded her the return of her tongue barbell bar-bell that was residing at the moment in the other woman's mouth. The resident resi-dent informed her guest that she couldn't remove the barbel without the risk of losing the hole in her tongue (heaven forbid). The guest attacked the woman and fists and hair flew amidst garbled, tongue challenged oaths. The woman of the house ended up getting thumped pretty good and the guest escaped before officers arrived, but she'll probably be back- the other woman still has the barbel in her mouth. A fire started early this morning (2:55 AM) inside a mobile home. Fire personnel 1 arrived within three minutes, but even with the quick response, the fire had been burning long enough by then that the mobile horned was almost fully involved. It was determined thei cause of the fire was a candle, left burning in the front room when the;occupant went to sleep that ignited ,the couch. The occupant's small dog alerted the man of the fire and the man was able to escape without injury. The dog that alerted alert-ed the man made it out also. However, there was another dog inside the mobile home that ! didn't get out. The home" was a total loss, but fire personnel person-nel did a great job of protecting pro-tecting exposed trailers surrounding the mobile home as well as the victim's vic-tim's car that was in the driveway. 3404 A briefcase was stolen from an unattended car last night at about 6:00 PM in the area of 600 W. 400 N.

State Street. The business was also burglarized, presumably pre-sumably at the same time. Some titles to cars, a dealer deal-er plate, 15 temporary Utah stickers, and keys to cars were taken. Naturally, patrol officers will be giving a little extra attention to the business during night time hours in case thieves come to collect the cars which go with the keys that were stolen. A teacher's car was scratched while it sat in the Lakeridge Jr. High parking lot at 951 S. 400 W. This occurred yesterday during the day. There was about $500 damage done to it. Officers stopped a car last night that had been involved in an attempted fraud at Auto Zone at about 8:45 PM. A 38-year-old man of SLC, had come to Orem with his live-in girlfriend, a 35-year-old women. He had procured old starter motors and alternators from a junk yard and tried to return them (with receipts) to Auto Zone as being under warranty and defective. He apparently got $300 from the Auto Zone in American Fork using that scheme and tried it in Orem. Didn't work. He left in a hurry when employees became suspicious suspi-cious and called the police. Officer Ryan Porter spotted spot-ted the couple's white Chevy Beretta driving westbound on Center Street as they tried to make it back to the freeway. free-way. The man handed methamphetamine to the women and asked her to hide it - didn't work -Porter found it. The man also had marijuana on him when searched. Both suspects sus-pects went to the Utah County jail on theft by deception and various drug charges. The man was also driving on a revoked driver's dri-ver's license had warrants out for his arrest. It was a good pair to grab. A 2002 black BMW 525i was stolen early this morning at about 6:00 AM frpm the area of 100 S. Palisade Drive.

Allowing cars to run unattended on pold winter mornings is a somewhat common, albeit risky thing to do. We've had a few of them stolen that way as have people living in other cities. If you appreciate getting into a warm car when you leave for work in the morning and leave it running in the driveway for that purpose, take the extra precaution of locking it. That may not guarantee the car's security, securi-ty, but at least you can bask in the knowledge that the thief isn't enjoying the warm ride you were hoping for, at least not with one window broken out. 3804 Detectives are working on the robbery from a couple cou-ple of weeks ago, butwe have nothing new that I'm able to pass on to you. Someone broke into the A-l Vacuum Cleaner business at 571 S. State. The break in happened sometime Friday night. An undisclosed amount of cash was taken. Someone broke into Sundance Auto at 375 E 1010 on Friday night. Entry was made by forcing a door. Only thing missing at this time is a rechargeable recharge-able flashlight. A 33-year-old women took her two children with her to Walmart on Saturday afternoon while she shoplifted. Officers located drug paraphernalia on her along with half a gramofmeth. DCFS workers work-ers took custody of her children chil-dren and she was booked into jail. A car was broken into sometime Saturday night in the area of 300 W. 900 N. A CD player, some CDs and a cell phone were stolen. A Toshiba laptop computer com-puter and briefcase with personal items were stolen Saturday night from an stolen car parked in the area of 500 E. 1700 S. 3904 A green 1998 Kia Sephia LS was stolen sometime Sunday night from the carport of a mobile home at 597 N. State. The car was locked at the time of the theft and there were no keys inside it. When the victim awakened awak-ened this morning, the car was gone. She heard no noise during the night. Stereo equipment was stolen from a 1992 Isuzu Sunday night in the area of 1500 S. Carterville Road. The passenger side door lock was broken to gain entry. Officers arrested a 23-year-old man, of Orem, yesterday yes-terday afternoon after it was reported that he was running through the hallways hall-ways of his apartment building yelling unintelligibly unintelli-gibly and obviously suffering suffer-ing from severe paranoia.

This time, he was certain that he'd seen someone come into his apartment and wanted the officers to search for a stranger. Officers went in to look - no boogie man there, only cocaine and drug paraphernalia para-phernalia out in plain view. That might explain the paranoia. He went to jail on the drug charges. There was a house fire reported just after midnight mid-night last night at 1635 N. 280 W. Officer Ross Snyder was the first to arrive and found the home owner standing at the front door yelling frantically into the home. Thick, black smoke billowed out of the doorway. door-way. Officer Snyder could hear the home owners boyfriend, a 47-year-old man, inside the home yelling for help. Officer Snyder called out to him, who responded that he was too weak to get out of home himself and needed help. Officer Snyder decided time was of the essence, and rather than waiting for responding fire units, he low-crawled into the home and was able to find him in the kitchen and pulled him out of the home. The man was transported to Timpanogos Regional Hospital for smoke inhalation. inhala-tion. He was also very intoxicated and told investigators inves-tigators the fire started as he was lighting a cigarette in his bedroom. Fire damage dam-age was limited to his bedroom, bed-room, though there was substantial smoke damage throughout the home. What Officer Snyder did is worthy of note. It was dangerous. A fire fighter with any experience will tell you that going into a smoke filled environment with protective clothing and a breathing apparatus can still cause a lot of disorientation. dis-orientation. Rescues from smoke filled buildings are done in teams (at least two) and they always go in with a hose line that helps protect them from fire, and equally important, serves as a lifeline to find their way back out, if and when needed. Going into the smoke filled home last night without the benefit of breathing gear, a partner, or a lifeline, could easily have ended badly for both Officer Snyder and the man. I know a firefighter who once went into a burning burn-ing home to rescue people and got disoriented and lost in a coat closet because of the smoke, and he was wearing a breathing apparatus. appa-ratus. Officer Snyder's decision was another example of those split second decisions that many officers must often make in diverse situations situ-ations that often cause them to put their life on the line. We're glad that he made it out safely, and was able to perhaps save a life in the process. Officer Snyder worked graveyards last night and is now home getting a much deserved bit of rest. I'm afraid he isn't available for comment. 0 fir." lV t, - - - 1 1 Photography liy Murk A. I'liilhi kit Barry Manllow's "Copacabana" to play at the Scera. "Copacabana" Plays as a Musical at the SCERA As disco reached its pinnacle, musician and pop star Barry Manilow made one of the most memorable contributions to the disco sound with "Copacabana," a story of dance and disaster at a spirited nightclub. Not only did Manilow's song capture the attention of the disco crowd, it was also a top pop hit that spawned a movie and has now led to a musical. The SCERA will offer the first production of "Copacabana" in Utah Valley March 11 when it opens at 7:30 p.m. at Showhouse II, 745 S. State St., Orem. Tickets are available by calling 225-2569, at the SCERA weekdays or at the box office performance night. Performances will play nightly except Sundays-and Sundays-and Wednesdays through March 23. Elaine Hansen, who came to Utah recently after spending 11 years in the entertainment division divi-sion at Disney's Epcot Center in Florida, directs the show using the talents of Utah Valley State College students, where she teaches. The musical duplicates the famous song with one notable exception: a happy ending is inserted in lieu of Manilow's third, more tragic verse. "This makes it a zany, fun play, "explains Hansen. "It's a fluffy little dream, and it's mine. I'm thrilled to be introducing something new to our audiences." For those unfamiliar with the song, the show features Lola, a showgirl who tried to be a star; Tony, her boyfriend, a man who tended bar; and Rico, who wore a diamond and went a bit too far. This triangulated tri-angulated relationship plays against Manilow's theme, "Music and passion pas-sion were always in fashion fash-ion at the Copa."

The choreography is amazing, though, and makes the show just spin." She credits the choreography choreog-raphy of her collaborators, Rick Robinson and Ashley Delgrosso, for the energy. "They've put in swashbuckling, swash-buckling, salsa, meringue and other exciting dances in a musical that goes from one production number num-ber to another." The cast of 48 allows for two sets of showgirls-a set for the Tropicana and another for the Copacabana. Stars include Danny Davis as Tony, Chelsea Call as Lola, Alex Ungerman as Rico, Heather Ferguson and Kristen Douglas double dou-ble cast as Conchita, Rico's romantic side. Also featured are John Fi field as Sam Silver, who owns the Copacabana, and Tristan Christensen as Gladys, his romantic opposite. Assisting Hansen are Camille Morris as the cos-tumer, cos-tumer, a designer who works extensively on Utah film projects; and Stephen Purdy, a set designer and painter who came from Universal Studios. "The story is light, and when life is challenging, what could be better than going to see a show like this?" asks Hansen. "It's ideal family entertainment entertain-ment in a refurbished SCERA Showhouse. With a new fly system and 96 dimmers for lighting, it works splendidly for the set changes this show requires. When Manilow was writing 'Copacabana' he says he sensed something some-thing good musically was happening. When I saw the script I thought the same thing about the show. It's a fresh piece of musical theater with a fresh perspective." We ID) HITS 31 9 |
