Another misconception is burglaries only happen late at ambulance to Castleview Hospital where she underwent and a CT scan before being released to go home that same evening.

He went on to say she would have been thrown from the vehicle and suffered very serious injuries, or possible death, had she not been wearing her seatbelt. X-ra- night. Burglars prefer an empty home. Most burglars will look for an open door or window, and they will enter an empty home during daylight hours if possible. Peacock said it has been found that most burglars are teens to early 20s, and they live in or near the neighborhood where they carry out their crime. In Emery County some residents do not feel that crime will happen to them and do not lock their doors and windows. This is inviting crime in your home, even here in Emery County. There is an old saying which goes it takes an entire community to raise a child, it also takes an entire community to prevent crime, Peacock stated to end her presentation.

The Orangeville coordinators discussed their feelings regarding the recent alert they iniated regarding someone in a truck attempting to get a child to get into his truck gnd ride with him. The alert was educational, and problems with the system have been identified and will be worked out.

The group also agreed that each organization involved in Orangeville, leaving Huntington and a few residents on the highway eastofthe Emeiy I Iigh School without gas service while the line was being repaired.

Questar arrived at the scene, and alter the fumes had dissipated repaired the hole in the gas line. Traffic was allowed back into the area at approximately 2 p.m. that same day. I am very pleased with the cooperation of the different agencies and people who showed up to help. This could have been a bad situation had the gas ignited. The cooperation of all involved helped avoid the possible danger and I commend everyone involved for their service, Sheriff Lamar Guymon said. Wareham ranked tenth largest Wareham Cattle Company, F erron, ranked as the 1 0th largest in registering the most Angus beef cattle in Utah having recorded 32 head of Angus with the American Angus Association during fiscal year 1998, which ended Sept. 30, according to Richard L. Spader, association executive vice president. Angus breeders across the nation in 1998 registered 252,969 of Angus cattle, compared to 239,476 in fiscal 1997. This is an increase of more than five percent from a year ago. Angus registrations for 1998 were the largest in 18 years, Spader said. This increase, especially in a turbulent agricultural and economic market, indicates that demand for Angus genetics is stronger than it ever has been. y the incident the school, Neighborhood Watch coordina- tors, block captains and members, and the Sheriffs office will need to make adjustments in their policies to insure the safety of our children is their utmost priority.
