The initial visit turned into pianist to play (Kathryn says - a series of many phone calls from Donny to the young girl during her final months. They brightened Julie's days and left Kathryn with a deep respect for the kind of people she saw in both Donny and Marie. "Donny and Marie gave the gift of themselves, which is a gift that can never be equaled," says Kathryn. One of the chapters in Kathryn's book talks about heroes. "The true hero is in the heart and soul, not in the physical makeup of the human body," she writes. "There are heroes of integrity and honesty and love," she continues as she identifies the many heroes who passed through her and her daughter's lives during those embattled days before her death. "When you lose a child," she goes on to write, "there is a pain that never quite leaves you, but that is the sacrifice for having the privilege and honor of having a special angel dwell in your home." Kathryn's book, as a reflection of her life, is filled with faith and courage. Her writing style is simple, honest, and gentle, and the book, which can be read in under two hours, leaves the reader strengthened and enriched.

The , response, saying the city was seeking advice from legal council, gave the city six more working days to respond to the GRAMA request. That same day, Webber sent his memo to the city asking that the report and tapes be considered a "draft" and announcing he would pick up the report and the tapes. Managing Editor Marc Haddock originally expressed dismay that the city would consider taking a public document out of circulation so it could be "sanitized" for public consumption after the city had received the report and a legal request for a copy of the report. "We are pleased that the document has now been made public. That report belongs to the citizens of American Fork," Haddock said.

When the suspect, who was convicted of the same two charges after an Aug. 28 incident, talked with police, he said that his wife had inflicted injuries on him as well and was upset that she wasn't being charged with domestic violence. The case will be sent to the city attorney for possible charges against the woman. ed ). 2-- A male transient was booked into the Utah County Jail on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest after an incident that started with two 911 calls from a pay phone located outside a local convenience store. Upon investigation of the calls, an officer was unable to locate a possible caller until he asked a group of youths gathered at a neighboring business if they had seen anyone using the phone in question. The youths provided a description of a man, whom they said left on foot, although they did not know the direction he proceeded after he left the store. Patrolling the area, the officer found a possible suspect, who, when approached by the officer, used obscenities and said he had "been harassed by a hundred cops in this state." The man ignored the officers orders to stop and continued to resist arrest when officers attempted to restrain him. A Lehi man was booked into the jail on charges of driving under the influence (DUI) and having no driver's license, after being stopped because he was driving at a questionably low rate of speed and without the benefit of headlights. The man proffered an identification card, but could not produce a license. In checking with dispatch, the man did have, however, an outstanding warrant. A Lehi man was charged with domestic violence and child abuse, the latter stemming from his children witnessing the incident involving their mother. Because the man had threatened to kill his wife if she contacted police, she did not report the incident, but had to seek medical treatment the following day at the hospital, where the incident was reported to author- to the city, on Nov. 16, asking the city to "consider the report as 'draft' and allow me the opportunity to review certain issues." Inasmuch as New Utah! filed the request under the Governmental Records Access Act and Management (GRAMA) when it was first received by the city, the paper sought the version that had been delivered to the city at that time, not just one which had been changed by a later review by Webber. The newspaper sent a letter protesting the city's a public document as a "draft" six days after it was delivered to the city as a final report. Mayor Ted Barratt indicated during the Nov. 10 meeting of the City Council that he had received the report earlier in the day, although he had not yet had a chance to review it.
