Library Director Pete Giacoma notes that the policy was modified slightly and deals with accessing such materials that may be inappropriate in a public space that is frequented by minors. He added that weve given the staff a little better direction in working with those (who are accessing) materials that maybe are inappropriate to display in a public area. Staff are instructed to ask the patron viewing the material to get out of the site initially, indicate to them the reasons why, realizing the legitimate right of people. Giacoma added that if it is seriously inappropriate for the space, we would tell them to exit the site. He added that we havent had a lot of problem, its been minimal, but it's an area we want to be prepared in.

CAIMELL Clipper Today Correspondent COPPERTON Layton and Clearfield Police Departments are literally going to the dogs for narcotics and explosives training. For about three weeks, officers have been training three new German Shepherds for police duty at the old Bingham Middle School near the Kennecott Copper Mine. The Layton Police Department is training Kanto, a male from the Czech Rex, a male Republic, and from Holland, for narcotics and patrol duties. The Clearfield Police Department is training Kenai. daughter of one of their male German Shepherds named Rocky, for finding explosives from powders to plastics. It should only take the dogs a year of training to get up to speed, according to Kantos handler, Officer Lloyd Davis. He and Rexs handler. Officer Alex Ghiz, are new to Layton's K-- 9 Unit and are excited to be there. Their dogs will one day replace another German Shepherd named Oik, a veteran of the police department who will be retiring soon due to medical problems. Their search for their dogs began on the Internet and ended with a dog handler in Vancouver. British Columbia in Canada. Davis and Ghiz traveled there to test and then pick the dog of their choice. The Layton Police Department paid between $4,600 and $5,000 for each dog and then brought them to the United States. Davis said it was more cost effective to buy untrained dogs and train them than to buy a trained dog for $10,000. Davis and Ghiz said they prefer to get their dogs from Europe over the United States, because they are generally healthier and have better bloodlines. Rex and Kanto are learning to identify methamphetamines. marijuana, cocaine and heroin. The way you train them is to teach them to hunt for drugs like they do for prey, Officer Ghiz said. You try to use their natural instmcts.-.Thedon't naturally know the smell of marijuana (or other drugs). Training each day begins with a trainer from "REX" and officers Alex Ghiz (center) and Lloyd (right) perform intensive drug detection training. K-- ar See "Police," on p.
