You don't P.G. mother charged in overdose death Jeremy Duda DAILY HERALD A Pleasant Grove woman has been charged with manslaughter man-slaughter for allegedly failing to call for medical help after her daughter overdosed on painkillers. Traci Sorenson, 44, was charged last week in the death of her 26-year-old daughter, Kaydie. Kaydie Sorenson died in May after a painkiller overdose in which she may have taken as many as 90 Oxy-contin, Oxy-contin, as well as other drugs, according to Pleasant Grove -police spokesman Capt. Cody Cullimore. On May 4, Kaydie went to her mother's house in Pleasant Grove and said she had been beaten up and robbed of her prescription drugs, Cullimore said. She then went to refill a prescription for Oxycontin. "She had a major drug problem," prob-lem," Cullimore said. Traci Sorenson left her home after arguing with her daughter about the drugs, Orem opens up Reva Bowen NORTH COUNTY STAFF The Orem City Council found a way Tuesday to open the door to married student housing in the large Parkway Crossing development at 1200 W. 1100 South, without slamming slam-ming it on the single student housing for which the development develop-ment was originally designed. The council approved amending the site-specific, PD-21 (planned development) zone to add condominiums as a permitted residential use, and set the density for the units at 90 per acre a reduction from the 140 units per acre for the five buildings now used for single-student occupancy. The condominiums will be under individual ownership, and each building will have one level of underground parking. Amenities such as a clubhouse, swimming pool, and barbecue area will be provided. In approving the changes, the council voted to eliminate references to "single student" or "married student" in the text of the amended ordinance, so that the condominiums could be used by either category of student, depending on market conditions and the demand for housing. Currently, the demand for single-student housing appears to be waning, while the need for married-student housing is on the rise, according to background back-ground information on the issue is-sue in the City Council agenda. Councilwoman Karen Mc-Candless Mc-Candless was the first to express ex-press worry about eliminating i October 31st want to put your name on a school and be stingy," Woodbury Wood-bury said. He said he was concerned that the school, without further funding, might not be able to fulfill the educational needs of a rapidly growing population in Utah County. "Following on the heels of AACSB accreditation, this donation will facilitate the school's move to university status," said UVSC President William Sederburg. The Woodbury family have been longtime supporters of UVSC, providing endowment funds that are used for student scholarships and faculty grants for the business school. The school's business building was named for F. Orin and Nina R. Woodbury, parents of Wally Woodbury, who was former chairman of Woodbury Corp. and also a former member of the school's National Advisory Council. Orin Woodbury contributed con-tributed significant funds for and returned to find her unconscious un-conscious with an empty pill bottle next to her, Cullimore said. According to Cullimore, Traci Sorenson said she did not call for medical help because she thought her daughter had an open arrest warrant and did not want her to get in trouble. Instead, she said she moved Kaydie to the floor near her bed so she could check on her daughter throughout the night, Cullimore Culli-more said. "Mom ... wakes up in the morning and the daughter is all but dead, very close to dead," Cullimore said. In the morning Kaydie's 20-year-old sister, who had come to the house sometime during the night, called 911, Cullimore said, but by then it was too late. Cullimore said Sorenson probably did not know how much Oxycontin her daughter had taken. Deputy Utah County Attorney At-torney Matt Lloyd said Sorenson's conduct constitutes housing for married students single-student housing that might be needed in the future. "I'm concerned about whether wheth-er or not, in the future, as the school (Utah Valley State College) changes its nature where are we going to put single students?" McCandless said. "While the need may not be there now, I don't know what the future holds." Mayor Jerry Washburn said the council needed to protect the single-student housing component to some degree. The requirement for a pedestrian pe-destrian overpass, a monorail, gondola, or other facility to transport Parkway Crossing residents to UVSC over 1-15 and the existing railroad line was eliminated under a provision provi-sion allowing for the action "in the event that the overpass is determined unfeasible to construct." con-struct." .
