A couple of boys tried to minimize their involvement to begin with, but they were careless enough to video tape their escapades and once the video was viewed, there wasn't a lot they could say. All four were given mandatory court dates for criminal mischief. 31403 Officer Steve Reece stopped a vehicle yesterday yester-day morning around 10:00 AM in the area of 1000 W. 400 S. for a traffic violation. viola-tion. The car had a revoked registration and was impounded. During an inventory search of the car, methamphetamine was found. The owner of the car, 18-year-old man, who was a passenger in the car at the time, was arrested. The amount, about a quarter-ounce, along with the smaller baggies found in the car, suggested that the meth was intended to be packaged pack-aged into the smaller quantities and sold. He was taken the Utah County Jail on felony possession pos-session with intent to dis tribute charges. 31703 A city employee checking check-ing on toilet facilities at Bonneville Shoreline Trail (1055 E. Cascade Drive) Friday morning found some property that had been stolen the night before in auto burglaries in the northeast part of Orem. Most of the stolen items were inside the toilets. toi-lets. Hats off the officer who had to fish the stolen items, out of the septic tank. Recovered items included several purses, wallets, a digital camera and CD's. It appears that the suspects had only been looking for cash and got rid of the rest to the items. Many owners were identified identi-fied and responded to the scene to pick up their items. They were told to handle them carefully and wash them ASAP. Looks like there was property from at least five auto burglaries bur-glaries in Orem and two in Provo. While we're on the subject A custodian at one of our Jr. High Schools reported Friday (12:30 PM) that he went into the soda room and found an unidentified male (not a student) defecating on the wall. The suspect got his pants up and fled with the custodian in hot pursuit. The suspect managed to evade the witness as he went through nearby yards and over fences. Officers searched the area on foot but couldn't locate the suspect either. The suspect was described as being in his late teens. Even though he got away, we can still hope that he chafed. Officer Art Lopez and Rico were summoned to 64 W. 700 N. Friday evening pply Today Buy Today Sew Today lW . P U ' j J Beraina Artiste 200E t bS v f, .

Rico alerted on a gym bag underneath a kitchen cabinet. The bag contained about three pounds of marijuana. Evidence was turned over to the Task Force and they handled the arrest. Tools were stolen Friday night from a home under construction in the area of 500 N. 400 E. An air compressor, air gun and drills were stolen. A car was broken into Saturday afternoon while the driver was inside Red Lobster eating lunch. A handbag left on the seat was stolen. There were other valuable items in the car that weren't taken. It appears that another incident inci-dent like this also happened hap-pened at Applebees the same afternoon where a window. was broken out of a minivan, but nothing was taken. 40-year-old man, of Heber, was arrested for felony shoplifting at Costco Sunday afternoon. He was seen when he took a filing cabinet out of its box and putting a $2600 computer system into the filing cabinet. The filing cabinet was paid for and he was picked up outside the store as he was loading the stolen computer into his car. He was booked into the Utah County Jail for felony retail theft. Burglary to an LDS meetinghouse at 80 S. 280 East. A custodian at the building opened the building up yesterday morning at 7:00 AM and found an outside door that had been forced open. Inside the building he found several door had been forced as well. The suspect, sus-pect, possibly a transient, was inside the building when the custodian arrived and left through the kitchen door, though he was never seen. We believe this to be the case because a pan of food was cooking on the stove in the kitchen when the custodian worked away around to that side of the building. A wrench was found in the hallway that was likely used to smash off the door nobs on several interior doors. There was also a report that a car parked in the same church parking lot had been vandalized sometime some-time Sunday night or early Monday morning, probably in an attempt to steal it. The ignition had been damaged on a 1991 Ford Escort. It's possible it was done by the same person per-son who broke into the meetinghouse. f ' J $1 l.. - ...3 Lr,T, H-..-,...,, , ,.,v l . .... -I.N , in- . - Ifl fcw.....,i,rr,l asm Summerfield Utah Ifalley Manor Home Builders EXCEL EYE CENTER Svunmerfield Retirement Community America is growing older faster than ever before! Those 85 and older constitute the fastest growing segment seg-ment of the population. With this "graying of America" comes a demand for caregivers, including family members mem-bers and friends to help older loved ones live longer and healthier lives. There is a team of trained health professionals to help you along the way. Many of whom specialize in caring car-ing for the older adult. These can include among others, a Geriatrician, Social Worker, Nutritionist, Physical Therapist, Nurses, Pharmacists, Occupational and Speech Therapists, a Podiatrist, and even a Geropsychiatrist if the need is there. These specialists can look at a person holistically, and consider the medical history along with the present health condition. There are many common health concerns found among the frail elderly such as incontinence, frequent falls, memory problems, and side effects caused by multiple medications. medica-tions. By looking at the many aspects of an older person's life, this team can evaluate the social support available to the patient,- which is usually a spouse or children, and the living and community conditions. They can look at the person's ability to perform activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They can assist in helping to find resources to complete such activities, or even perform them as the case may be. People over the age of sixty-five have different degrees of disability and illness. Some have no problems at all, while others have many serious health concerns. Family and friends may have negative, or even false views about aging, including the benefits ben-efits of treatment of disease late in life as well as functional recovery. Well-meaning caregivers are sometimes faced with discomfort about helping a parent make medical decisions. They may be afraid of swaying the parent toward a harmful outcome, perhaps even contributing to death. There is sometimes competition compe-tition among family members about what role each play. Children are often raised with a deep respect for the elder's autonomy, even when the paren'ts decision-making capacity is impaired. In these situations, the geriatric team of caregivers can prove helpful both as teachers, and as advocates. advo-cates. Professionals who are trained and experienced in the care of the elderly, eld-erly, take pride in making good recommendations, rec-ommendations, and offering helpful resource planning for not only the senior adult, but the family of caregivers care-givers as well. At Summerfield Retirement Community, we take pride in working with skilled hands, directed by creative cre-ative minds, and guided by compassionate compas-sionate 'hearts.

David A Lewis COST PER SQUARE FOOT Many potential homebuyers start the process of bidding their plans by using the equation of cost per square foot. The conversation conver-sation may go something like this: Homeowner: What is the cost per square foot? Builder: Do you have a car? Homeowner: Well, yes, I do. But, what has.... Builder: How much per pound did you pay for the car? Homeowner: They don't sell cars by the pound! Builder: Right! You see- a Ford Escort costs about $3.25 per pound and a MercedesBenz costs about $11.00 per pound. Each has its own characteristics and amenities. ameni-ties. The same is true with a new home or remodeling project. You cannot purchase a home or remodeling project by the square foot just as you cannot buy a car by the pound. Do you want a masonry facade, vinyl, or wood clapboard? Hardwood floors or carpet? Is your home one or two-story? How many baths? Whirlpool bath? What is the size of your deck? Redwood or pressure-treated? Homeowner: I don't have the answers to those questions. Builder: Ah, but you want a cost per square foot? It is not your fault that you asked that question. ques-tion. It's the building and remodeling remod-eling industry that's at fault. We are the ones who have perpetuated perpetu-ated the faulty notion that you can buy a home by square foot costs. Why don't we take a look at your needs and establish a budget for the project? Homeowner: Yes, by all means. When can we get started? start-ed? Square foot cost varies from one home to another based on specifications, design components, compo-nents, size, lot characteristics and amenities. Without a set of plans to review with specifications, specifica-tions, a square foot cost estimate has no basis for certainty. No two custom homes and no two remodeling projects have the same square foot costs.
