That apparently appar-ently didn't explain the marijuana roach the officers offi-cers saw laying on the living room floor. The apartment was searched and a runaway 16-year-old Orem boy was found hiding in the bathroom. Both the boy and him appeared to be under the influence of marijuana. He was arrested and booked into the Orem holding facility on charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, possession of marijuana, mar-ijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia. The boy was taken into protective pro-tective custody and will be referred to juvenile court for possession of marijuan. A 15-year-old student at Canyon View Jr. High became enraged when he was told he couldn't leave class to get a soda. He said that he was going to kill someone if he didn't get one and then threw a bottle at a teachers aid and hit her with it. She wasn't injured. The boy was referred to juvenile court for his behavior and I believe he was suspended suspend-ed from school. Officer Lopez and Rico worked last night and did a good job finding the dope. Pleasant Grove officers requested them to assist on a traffic stop in their city. Rico helped them locate marijuana and some cocaine. In Orem, a Utah County Task Force officer had a car stopped in the area of 900 N. 1560 N. at about Midnight.

Rico also alerted on the hood of the car where officers found a pound of ephedrine and some marijuana in a black case hidden in the engine compartment. Naturally, an arrest was made. I don't have the name on the suspect as the Task Force handled the arrest.

She was booked into the Utah County Jail on charges of Possession of Methamphetamine with Intent to Distribute, Possession of Marijuana, and Possession of Paraphernalia. All charges were enhanced because of their possession posses-sion in a drug-free zone (a city park and schoo less than a block away). An amp and CD player were stolen Thursday night from an unlocked car parked in the area of 100 S. 600 E. A stereo was stolen sometime Saturday night from a parked car in the area of 800 N. 1400 W. Officers responded to a burglar alarm at the Hitching Post at 30 N. 1600 W. at about 1:00 AM this morning. They found the back door to the business busi-ness had been pried open. An employee arrived at the business after officers had cleared the building to make sure no one was inside. The employee didn't believe anything was missing but will check a little closer today when the business opens. Officer Mike Parsons stopped a car driven by a 21-year-old girl, of Springville, last night at about 7:30 PM. Someone had reported her as possibly pos-sibly being intoxicated. Parsons spotted the car and made the stop at 1200 West Center Street. She wasn't intoxicated, but was found to be driving driv-ing on a suspended license and had no insurance insur-ance for her car. It was also discovered that she has been misdemeanor cited for this same offense (driving on suspension) sus-pension) several times in the past few months. She apparently wasn't getting get-ting the message that a suspended license really means that you can't drive anymore. Parsons took her into custody this time and booked her into the Utah County Jail. Officers responded to a burglar alarm at Jolene's (business) at 1360 S. Sandhill Road. When they arrived, they found the business had been forcibly entered and the suspect(s) had broken into the cash register and stolen an undisclosed amount of cash. There was no sign of the suspects sus-pects by the time officers arrived. There was about a five minute time delay before the police were called by the alarm company. com-pany.

Blake of Vineyard, giving a ride in his Cloverleaf milk truck to a very young Leonard H. Russon, who was later named to be a member of the Utah State Supreme Court. ratafia CLYDE E. WEEKS, JR. Times Correspondent The advent of the new year in Utah Valley has caused many residents to reminisce about events in their lives that have contributed con-tributed to fond memories. Such is the case with Rex B. Blake, local resident, who was born and reared in Vineyard, and was a longtime long-time Vineyard representative of the SCERA Board of Directors. As a young man, he worked on his father's dairy farm in Vineyard the source of at least a portion of the milk that was produced for the Cloverleaf Dairy and other dairies in Salt Lake City. During that time, he milked many cows, fed the cows and cleaned the cow barns. As well as he was acquainted with the milk production business, he was also keenly interested in the milk distribution business. In those days, a great deal of milk was sold and delivered by men, going door to door in residential areas in Utah's larger cities. Each "milkman" had a truck, in which he carried many bottles of fresh milk that he delivered to his regular regu-lar customers. After Blake graduated from Lincoln High School in Orem, he thought of going to work in Salt Lake City, to deliver milk to Salt Lake residents. res-idents. Later, when he married, mar-ried, he and his wife, Zella, did move to Salt Lake. At age 24, Blake was happy to be driving a milk truck with the words, "Cloverleaf Fine Dairy Products," emblazoned on each side. He made daily deliveries of bottled milk to many customers in Salt Lake Valley and waved at the children chil-dren who watched. One of the families to whom he delivered milk was the Russon family, whose young son was fascinated by Blake's milk truck. Little Leonard Russon often begged Blake to take him for a ride in his milk truck. Little Russon's persistence finally paid off, when Blake invited the boy to ride with him, as he made milk deliveries deliv-eries on his route.

After leaving the Cloverleaf Dairy for other work, Blake never saw Russon again. Until Jan. 15, 1994, that is. On Jan. 15, 1994, the 78-year-old Blake saw in a newspaper his photograph and a story, reporting that Leonard Russon, the boy to whom he had given a ride in his milk truck more than half-a-century earlier, had been unanimously confirmed by the Utah State Senate to be a member of the Utah Supreme Court. Fondly remembering the incident, Blake sat down and wrote a letter to Supreme Court Justice Russon, congratulating con-gratulating him and sending along a copy of the photograph, photo-graph, which had been taken beside his milk truck, some 54 years ago. On January 20, 1994, Blake received the following letter from Leonard H. Russon: "Dear Mr. Blake, I was totally flabbergasted at receiving your letter with a copy of the photograph, showing the two of us standing stand-ing beside the milk truck more than 50 years ago. It came as a wonderful gift. The summer you allowed me, a little boy, to ride with you on the milk truck route, remains strong in my memories. And I still have a print of the same photograph.

'remember when Leonard rode with the Cloverleaf milk man on his route, when just a little kid?' As you see, you left quite an impression. I would like very much to visit with you. My oldest brother lives in your general area, and the next time I visit with him, I would like to call you and perhaps we could visit. The honor would be mine. Thank you very much for remembering me and the kind words you expressed in your letter. I will be moving soon to the Utah Supreme Court. I am pleased that this publicity publici-ty brought us together, after all of these years. Best regards, Leonard H. Russon" Now, 86-year-old Blake looks back with fondness on the day, so many years ago, when a milkman from Vineyard gave a ride in his milk truck to a future Justice of the Utah Supreme Court. Russon recently paid a visit to the home of Rex Blake, and they recalled old times. After serving a distinguished distin-guished career on Utah's Supreme Court, Russon has announced his plans to retire May 15. 5 Men We Mend Everything Under the Moon Microwave , flj Service Kitchen Z 4 , races Power Tools Shaver Sales Si Service 1' Clock Repair Vacuum Sales & Service all 5 THE Miiii SID 1735 S.
