As the man searched for his driver's license, the officer noticed the handle of a knife protruding from the waistband of the man's pants. When the officer returned to his patrol car to verify the license, he called for backup. Dispatch informed the officer that the man's license had been denied and that the registration has expired earlier this year. The two officers returned to the vehicle and asked the man to exit, informing him that they had seen the knife in addition to knowing the status of his driving documents. During a routine inventory of the vehicle prior to it being impounded, the officers discovered drugs and paraphernalia, including what appeared to be a broken glass pipe. The man was charged with possession of methampheta-mine- s and paraphernalia in a drug-frezone, destruction of evidence, driving on a denied license, expired registration, no insurance and possession of a dangerous concealed weapon.

Alpine District boasts high AP enrollment Numbers in Alpine exceed state and national levels The number of Alpine School District students participating in the Advance Placement exams at the local level far exceeds state and national levels.

Alpine Dis trict students exceeded both their state and national peers in passing the tests, Cameron said. The AP examinations allow high school juniors and seniors to demonstrate their skills in a number of academic areas, and to earn college credit. Twenty nine different subjects are offered for credit in the AP area in the district. According to Cameron, the number of students taking part in the AP program locally far exceeds state and national levels. Participation is based on the number of exams taken for each 1,000 public school juniors and seniors. Utah ranks number one among the states in participation with 262 exams for each 1,000 juniors and seniors, while Alpine District surpasses the state by an important margin with 321 exams per thousand. The national rate is 169, Also, more Alpine District students passed the exams (per1000) than the state and nation. For each 1,000 juniors and seniors, 108 exams were passed at the national level; 178 were successful at the state level; and 209 were given a passing mark at the district level. The three most popular AP exams are US History, English Literature and Composition, and Calculus. More than 4,000 college semester hours of credit were awarded to local students in the program. Responding tot the report, board president Marilyn praised the efforts of the district in preparing successful students: "We appreciate the vision and dedication of administration and teachers in helping students achieve these high marks on the Advanced Placement exams." mmmispomij Kof-for- d miSTMASMVS All Your Favorite Sizes!
