An officer stopped the driver of the Audi after being informed by dispatch that the Utah license plate was registered to a Saab. The man then produced a Lousiana identification card to try to prove his identity. The odor of alcohol, plus the fact that the man told the officer he "may have a warrant out for his arrest," led the officer to double check on a few things. Dispatch confirmed the existence of six warrants, plus the fact that the man's license was suspended and that he had no' proof of insurance on either the license or his registration. Fortunately for the man, field sobriety and breath tests did not indicate that his confessed drinking earlier in the evening had left him too impaired to be charged with driving under the influence. An Alpine man watched his car get up and drive away from local convenience store while he was in getting a cup of cofa fee; he had conveniently left the keys in the vehicle for any unknown suspect to climb in a take off with it. The man told officers that he didn't see any suspicious person in the parking lot when he went in, which proves that sometimes you have to watch out for the ones who don't look suspicious. A somewhat similar, yet completely different situation happened to a Lehi man when his vehicle was seen driving away on a street near his home. As an aside, he mentioned to officers that a car dealership may have been involved since there were problems with the financing of the vehilce. Until detectives could determine whether it was a civil (repossession) problem or a criminal (theft) problem, it would be treated as a theft. The case is still under investigation. Approximately $400 in audio equipment was taken from an unlocked vehicle while it was parked in the owners driveway. In another incident in the same area, nearly $300 in audio equipment was taken from a locked vehicle after the unknown suspect made entry through a sliding rear window. A rear wintheft in dow entry was the source of yet a third the same area when a resident lost about 250 compact discs valued at about $3,000. Continued from front page date, yet to be announced.

Lehi High School sent 37 students and 20 adults on the tour. Following the competition and Awards Ceremony, all participants went on a cruise where they got to see the harbor and New York City skyline at night, as well as enjoy a dinner and dance. That city is huge!" Harris said. They were there for six days and she says they still didn't see the whole city. They toured Times Square, Madison Square Gardens, China Town, and walked down Broadway. They bought hot dogs from the vendors in Central Park (according to Harris, an especially big hit for the boys), and got to go to the largest toy store, FAO Schwartz. At the Statue of Liberty, the choir stood on the steps and sang the "Star Spangled Banner". They also performed at a Jewish convalescent home and hospital. Later they went to the top of the Empire State Building, where they overlooked the city just as the sun was going down. "Oh, it was beautiful," Harris commented..

Smith credited the success of the Lehi Fire Department to the individual expertise which makes up the whole. With a crew of firefighters made up of people from different job backgrounds, the team is better suited to fighting any type of fire. His own farming background, for example, can help if the department has to go into a farm setting. Smith is likely to know where a farmer might store chemicals, and which ones are flammable. Each one, he said, by bringing his own career expertise to the department, makes the department operate as successfully it does. Family traditions also play a big part in Smith's daily career. needed for consignment sale his "hat" wardrobe. In addition to his own 10,000 acres, he considers the Lehi South Stake, of which he is president, to be an area of very "fertile soil." Increasing from seven wards when it was created three years ago to the current 12 wards, the stake has experienced 26 percent growth in the last year, mostly in the last quarter. "Change fosters change," he said. "People tend to want to start over when they move. The challenge is to not let people fall through the cracks."
