Two Salt Lake County teenage males, ages 15 and 16, were arrested early last week and charged with first degree murder, aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary in connection with the Oct. 31 shooting death of Spencer Nielson. Midvale Detective Sgt. Tim Start noted that, because of desires to protect the case and the fact that both suspects are juveniles, he has been asked by the County Attorney's Office to be very guarded in his statements. When asked to confirm reports that the two youths will not be certified to stand trial as adults, Start would only state, "That's what I read in the papers." He also declined, at the present time, to link the death of Nielson to break-in-s at several units in the self storage facility the victim managed.

Last fall it ed as if Fox Crossing developer Ron Hatfield held the losing hand in a gamble over who would control his vast holdings in West Jordan. In the summer of 1986 Hatfield's dream of developing a commercial business center complete with high-ris- e office buildings on 9000 South in West Jordan had turned into a nightmare when his Arizona partner Gordan Hall called in the chips after months of negative publicity about Hall and his dealings and West Jordan City's support of the Fox Crossing concept. Hatfield admits that he fell for the glitter associated with developer Gordan Hall. An association that eventually cost him $7 million worth of his own holdings. Even as the vast plans for the Fox Crossing Complex faded away, Hatfield was busy picking up the pieces in an effort to move on. Happy, sad, funny, fabric of life. Memories of the Thanksgiving smells and tastes. Of families, friends, jokes, songs, games, parades. As we celebrate this year's festival, let's also remember to store more and more of those memories against the future. Memories we can pull out and share, laugh about, cry about and make a part of ourselves. For Thanksgiving memories. which we are, truly, thankful.
