Rocks thrown shattering By MATT LUST mlustsuuournal.com Two Cedar City residents were allegedly assaulted in a drive-b- y stoning on Saturday at approximately 9:30 p.m. Daniel Hatch and Stephanie Davis were driving down an unknown street in Cedar City when someone allegedly drove by and threw rocks at the car, shattering the passenger-sid- e window. Davis was taken to Valley View Medical Center and treated for minor injuries. Detective Jerry Womack of the Cedar City Police Department said the alleged perpetrators were traveling in a Camaro of unknown color. I dont know exactly where the incident happened, Womack said. (Davis) went to the hospital to be checked, but it seems that she had only minor injuries, and they should not need to be treated side-windo- at the hospital. Hatch was the driver of his vehicle when the incident occurred. He said he does not remember much regarding the incident. I was just driving by; I was looking over at (friends) who were standing along the side of the street, Hatch said. Then all of a sudden, bam, the glass shattered and I started freaking out. I was like I need to get an ambulance, and Stephanie began saying that she was bleeding. Womack said the police have a general understanding of the event, but details are still under investigation. As we understand the situation, these people reported to dispatch that they thought they had been shot, Womack said. We had an officer come by, and there was nobody to be found at Maverick matching the description of the reporting parties, so he left and aoliversuujournal.com TftKU'oini tsiuiKi! MAIN 919 SOUTH to Albertson's) (next 865open Mon-F- ri 9 a.m. - 8 p.m. - Sat 8 a.m. - 9. pm 99 Haircuts Cedar Citys Providence Center will continue to expand in 2004, with several large businesses moving in and the creation of more than 160 jobs. The Home Depot, Walgreens, Blockbuster Video, Del Taco, Zions Bank and Payless Shoe Source are all contracted to come to Cedar City this year, according to a press release from Providence Quantum Partners. Brent E. Drew, vice president of business development for Quantum Properties, said The International House of Pancakes is also contracted at the Providence Center. Drew said Home Depot helped the flow of tenants increase. Home Depot is considered the anchor tenant, he said. Other businesses know where the traffic is going to go and want to be out there. The store will create 160 jobs alone, he said. This opens opportunity for students and for people that live here full time, Drew said. Its a nice economic indication of where Cedar City is going. He said other businesses see this as a way to take their share in the market. Rick Lunt, principal broker at Cedar Citys D&B Real Estate, said the Providence Centers new home improvement and clothing stores will help bring in more clothiers and restaurants. Drew said the growing center will have a positive impact on the community because the city usually gets its funding from property taxes, but with an increase in retail sales, property taxes wont have to be raised. Alan Hamlin, SUU Management & Marketing Department chair, said more retail is good for consumers. It provides consumers with more competition, more selection and lower prices, hopefully, he said. Hamlin said bringing larger chain stores into Cedar City will help reduce leakage, which is when people who work in Cedar City and live in Cedar City spend their money elsewhere. He said consumers usually go to St. George to buy home improvement supplies, but when Home Depot arrives, theyll fulfill that need in Cedar City instead.

At this point, we only have general knowledge, but it appears to be nothing real serious, he said. It seems more like an act of vandalism than anything. A car drove by, they recognized the car that drove by, and it appears that was when (the stoning) happened. There hasnt been enough retail selection, Hamlin said. Anything that can stop leakage is good. Anything that helps provide local consumers with more selection is good. Lunt said most major national retail and restaurant chains have a demographic plan that requires a certain number of people live within one mile of a stores location. He said people have requested an Olive Garden restaurant in Cedar City, but restaurant management would prefer that 100,000 people live in the area first. We dont have that, he said. We have a strong shopping base, but its spread over 50 to 75 miles. Freshman Anne Buccambuso browses the aisles at DownEast Outfitters in Cedar Citys Providence Center.
