Show THE GREEN SHEET 6 Thursday, May 1, 1986 Markers Toppled District Post Filled - Magna Cemetery Vandalized Again MAGNA. Vandalism in Pleasant Green Cemetery here, in addition to destruction of the cemetery gates earlier this year, is causing concern to property owners and local law enforcement officers alike. The latest acts of maliciouus mischief were aimed at the Hortense Collings monument, which was pushed from its pedestal; as well as the white marble monument of Virgil Eugene Kilpack, a Korean War veteran that was broken off of its base. 'Ulh Others that have been damaged in the last several weeks include the Janet Hartley monument and the Charles 0. Todd headstone that were toppled from their bases, but have since been replaced, However, in the plot, the marker of Heber C. and Lucinda Ridd has been ripped from its moorings and one of the steel posts that outlines the perimeter of the gravesites has been torn from the ground. Footprints on the Collings grave indicate that at least two persons were involved in toppling the stone. However, damage to other sites could have only been done with the help of a heavy duty vehicle, according to investigating officers. ; Ridd-Egbe- N rt Law enforcement officers speculate that the vandalism could be a copy cat version of what happened recently in the Salt Lake VANDALISM . . . Toppled hoadstono and othor acts of vandalism in Pleasant Green Cemetery is cause of concern to both property owners and law enforcement officials. trespassing signs placed on the hill to discourage off road vehicles from causing further erosion to Cemetery Hill, as well as to discourage garbage dumping in the area. With the destruction of the cemetery gates, signs have been erected on both sides of the road declaring that the hill and the surrounding property are off limits to motorized vehicles, hunters, hikers, horseback Sheriffs officers and security personnel are patrolling the area. Citations have been issued to trespassers who have County Ken-neco- tt been fined $38 for the first offense, with increased amounts for second offenders. We need the help of people who visit the cemetery to provide us license plate numbers of people violating the no trespassing signs, Sgt. Ron Wall said. The cemetery is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. for those who have a legitimate reason for being there, he noted. Until recently the cemetery was owned by the LDS church, but has since become the property of Kent Goble and the Magna Cemetery Committee. All the ground surroun- ding the cemetery, including Cemetery Hill, is owned by Consider the functions: firefighters fight fires and work to save lives and property. They work during a true emergency; the fire keeps growing until it is stopped. Chest pains become cardiac arrest without trained analysis and interference. Miscarriages can cause hemorragic shock. A drug overdose progresses to respiratory arrest. Firefighters never week to punish or establish blame. When a paramedic arrives at a stabbing incident he sees only victims, not suspects. Police officers enforce laws, seek violators and fight crime. Police officers generally function after an emergency - the bank is robbed, they seek the culprit. An accident occurs - they establish facts and assign fault. On the scene of a drug overdose they look for evidence. And, in their truest emergency, they shoot to kill in protection of self and society. Both functions are necessary and important to good government but they cannot be done well by the life or same person. The death judgements made by a trained police officer are different from the save at all costs mentality re-- -- split-secon- d from the dedicated quired firefighter. Then there is the problem of public perception. In a medical or fire emergency Magna Library Site Continued from page 1 the ability of a library to encourage additional commercial growth, the library should not be located in an area where commercial development is not desired. Retford pointed out that Site A is located on the Magna main street and is adjacent to a small church school. Site B is located on 8400 West between the Magna stake center and a small subdivision. Both sites are in close proximity to a major new commercial development and both are near the two secondary schools where all the children in the elementary schools will eventually come some day. With relation to the educational facilities here, Retford said that both sites are located close to several schools, five of the seven being within a half mile of the sites. These schools provide a daily increase of 3,000 students in close proximity to both sites. Also both sites provide great potential for visual prominence of the new library facility, which will increase the use of the library and both sites are of a size to provide a library of proper size and functionality to serve the community, as well as provide for future expansion and adequate off street parking, which will increase the functional life span of the library. Retford said that both sites are so located as to provide the opportunity for energy efficient design and the potential for undesirable development adjacent ot the site in the future is very minimal. In addition, I would like to point out that the sites are within a half mile of these major public and community services which places the library within the political hub of the community, including the County Sheriffs substation, the County Fire Department, the U.S. Post Office, the Magna Water and Sewer Improvement District office, the Magna Senior Citizen Center, where the Magna Community Council holds its meetings, the Magna Recreation Center, the Copper Golf Club, the Magna Mosquito Abatement office, the Masonic Lodge, the Magna Times newspaper office, the Magna Lions club, the VFW Post and the Open Door Baptist church. These sites also have the ability to enhance the countys redevelopment district, which the county put into place to revitalize the downtown area and to insure the implementation of the master plan. If you try to provide a facility of 14,000 square feet to serve both Magna and Hunter, it would be obsolete within five years, Retford said, and would demonstrate poor fiscal planning.

The closest paramedic or EMT may be writing a traffic citation while you wait for the closest available PSO, while that crushing pain in your chest begins radiating to your left arm. PSOs are a great idea on paper. They may be a good idea at Disneyland where nosebleeds are medical emergencies and pickpocketing major crime. But in real life - in Orem, in West Jordan, in West Valley City and Sandy PSOs are a bad idea. PSOs are bad government and dangerous to the of every citizen within their jurisdiction. Efficient government demands more professional, not half professional, employees. Councils and commissioners in financially strapped communities should take a closer look at consolidating their existing efficient professional forces rather than turning them into a patchwork of mutated public servants who, like Swiss army knives, are good at many small jobs but excellent at none.
