Show Ingt 2A, Lakeside Review, November 13, 1930 Up to the Individuol Police Chief Gives , By LUCINDA SCHUFT The holiday season is near and CLEARFIELD will be gathering from all over to families many enjoy the festivities together. Members may be traveling long distances in order to unite the family on these special days and Chief Daren Green of the Clearfield Police Department offers some suggestions to help keep travelers safe throughout their journey and the holiday enjoyable for all. He warns against fatigued driving during the holiday season. People will travel long distances in order to have dinner with their families, often starting a trip right after work on the day preceeding the holiday," he said. He said this is dangerous because they may be fatigued when they start out. Then they turn around and come back after dinner the next day without getting any additional rest, Green said. He said this results in fatigued driving which could lead to an accident. One of the prime culprits for accidents during the holiday seasons are parties, the chief said. Parties always create a problem, especially on Christmas and New Year." The office party will start in the afternoon and then they will continue drinking at another party or at home in the evening,. he said. Its often hard to control who is drinking at the parties, often people dont normally drink will drink in those who its such that people cant , afford new tires. Front wheel drive vehicles were cited by the chief . as being good on snow and ice, but he warns that they need to be driven cautiously. Youre likely to lose your steering capability if you lose the frontend on a , . patch of ice. He also cited four wheel drive vehicles as having good traction, but said once you lose it you cant control it. Some driving techniques that he suggested for adverse conditions include driving for the conditions and not doing anything suddenly like slamming on the ' brakes. when attempting to stop, the brakes Tap especially with an automatic transmission. He said it is a good idea to slow down in bad weather, even rain. You may be hydroplaning on a wet surface and not have the traction you think. ( The roads may also be slick from oils that have seeped out of the surface during the hot weather and when it rains they are floating on top of the wet road. He said this will make the roads extra slick, especially with early season rains following the summer months. He is an advocate of defensive driving techniques. Dont be so sure of your right of way, you can prevent and save accidents by driving defensively. Verbalize in your mind whats happening around you as you are driving, he suggested. "Like if you see a child playing in a yard up ahead say to yourself theres a child who may run out in front of me and then you are prepared if the situation develops. Another suggestion he gave for driving defensively is to stay far enough behind a vehicle in front of you to have time to react. He said his department tries to practice the two second rule. . When you are following another vehicle choose a point a head of the vehicle and when it passes it count one thousand one, one thousand two.. If you pass the point before you finish the count youre too close and should drop back. Chief Green said it is also easy to become too casual about your driving. How often do you get in your car and suddenly you're three or four blocks down the road and you dont even remember driving there? We need to be concerned about what we are doing , when we are driving a car. He said, this involves thinking about what you are doing and the dangers which may be out there when your driving a vehicle. He warns that people should be prepared for an while traveling. "The maximum number i emergency of officers will be out during a holiday, he said. Yet he warns it is still important to be prepared. of the economic situation, , Staff Writer to not is to the individual, up somebody Safety up else to do for you.

The people who are not used to alcohol con' sumption will often not realize their condition. Another area the chief cited for concern is adverse weather conditions during the holiday seasons. He said it is not unusual for the first bad storm of the year to hit during the holiday season. The worst weather hazard is the first heavy storm of the year; after that the people become accustomed to driving in the adverse conditions, he said. He said good tires are protection for driving under hazardous road conditions. There isnt any traction with bald tires, Green said. He also added that this winter may produce a lot of problems with bad tires. Its going to be bad because i , . -- Kaysville Holds Hearing On Uses for Grant Money KAYSVILLE The Kaysville City Council has six-inc- h An additional $50,000 from the proposed grant can be used to replace or repair sidewalks in the down--' town area, Thacker said. The repairs will be made by basis. inspection or on an Mayor Gar Elison said he was receptive to a revolving fund whereby residents can borrow against the fund at low interest and use the money for the ' . sidewalk repairs. If enough grant money is secured, rehabilitation of up to 17 houses in the area will also begin, the council said. And depending on an economic study, the money, may also be used to rehabilitate rental housing. Some $120,000 has been proposed for that project. Another $200,000 would go toward the redevelopment of downtown, the council said. But water lines and sidewalks would have to be in repair stages before money could be used for that redevelopment. Land acquisition for a senior center completed the list of proposed projects. The council felt that $150,000 ' would be needed for that purpose. .The remaining $20,000 would be used for ad- -' ministration of the projects, the council said. . held a public hearing to decide how to spend $750,000 that could come to the city in the form of a Community Development Block Grant, city officials said. If the money is awarded to the city, it will finance water line and sidewalk construction, housing rehabilitation, commercial redevelopment, and land acquisition, said John Thacker, City Administrator. The new HUD grant will complement another grant received earlier this year. That grant is already being used to build a water tank and main trunk water lines, Thacker said. The $405,000 water tank and main trunk line project begins on 450 North at about 900 East. The 16 inch line continues south on 900 East, turns west to 200 North to Main Street, he said. The trunk line will replace old trunk lines now being used. The tank is undergoing preliminary drawings at this time, Thacker said. It is being designed by project engineer F.L. Holland. Bids for construction of the tank will be advertised when detail designs are completed in January. Construction will begin this spring. The new grant will extend the line past 200 h line and a North to the freeway.
