A light snow and slick roads kept officers hopping from one accident to another as the day wore on. There were so many accidents so close together, it was difficult to tell which one which officer had been called out on, said Juab County Sheriff Dave Carter. Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Stewart Hunsaker had the victim of one of the accidents sitting in his car when another car smashed into the back of 'his police car. Juab County Deputy Jim Stephensen said the driver of the car had just bought it and was taking it to the new owner when the accident happened. Needless to say, the accident sale, Stephensen. Hunsakers said car sustained $1,000 in damages. Carter said there were eight accidents in quick succession. Three of the accidents were within three miles of each other. The first accident occurred at 7:30 a.m. in Levan. A car went out of control, hit a tree, and then slid sideways, narrowly missing a building. It was the only accident where there were serious injuries, said UHP Trooper Blair Bradford. Two passengers in the vehicle were taken to Central Valley Medical Center in Nephi and later transferred to Mt. View Hospital in Payson. The driver was uninjured.

According to a school district spokesman, Mrs. Jones has impressed colleagues and parents with her dedication to students. Her fellow teachers say she is one of those teachers who puts students first and all else comes second. Mrs. Jones never says a student is hopeless. She always says, Ill try another way.' She has implemented a new hands-o- n mathematics program and a new reading program. Mrs. Jones has been extremely effective in getting her first grade students well along the way to being efficient readers, say school district personnel.

The burglars were able to elude the police, in part because the Nephi home owner couldnt give the officers a good description of the thieves or of their car. It wasnt until later that a neighbor told police the make and model of the car and that it had a Virginia license plate. Even though the Nephi man lost a few small items, he probably came out pretty well, says Chief Hoaldridge. If he had confronted the burglars, they may have assaulted him. We have no way of knowing if they were armed or what kind of people they were, says Hoaldridge. The chief cautions Nephites to remember the three Ls: lock everything up, label everything with drivers license numbers, and use good lighting to deter burglars.
