Show 2 SP The Salt Lake Tribune, Thursday, August BountifuVs Pigeon Issue Close to Being Resolved 5, 1982 Bountiful Detective Just Does Her Job By Cathy helped search women in the mail and eventually e decided she wanted to become a police officer. She went to the police academy at Westminster College where she was one of two women in a class of 50 men. Very Supportive The men in the class were very supportive, she said. They really helped me a lot. I think that any career a woman tries to get into where women havent been involved before is tough. I imagine the first woman to enter police work ran into a lot of hassle, but men today arent as chauvinistic as they used to be. They're more Free full-tim- Tribune Staff Writer BOUNTIFUL Detective Diana Stevens, the only woman officer in the Bountiful Police Department, says that, realistically, detective work doesn't involve a shootout in the alley every day and most cases usually take more than one day to solve she said We do lots and lots of paperwork, That aspect of the job isnt usually shown on television. Detective Stevens says she has never had to use her gun to defend herself in the six years she has been a police officer. I've been lucky that I havent been in a I find crime shooting situation," she said. frightening. Most criminals wont respect you because theyre afraid of going to jail. Low Crime Rate Of course, Bountiful has a fairly low crime rate compared to some other cities. I know an officer who hasnt fired his gun at anybody in 20 years. Dangerous people are everywhere, though, she said. There may not be as many criminals here in Bountiful as there are in Salt Lake City, but there are enough to keep me busy. Detective Stevens first became interested in police work when she worked as a secretary for the Davis County Sheriffs Department. She d. open-minde- Detective Stevens is the mother of a teen-ag-e daughter and says she burned a lot of midnight oil because of her job. My daughter understands though," she said. She thinks its great that her mother is a detective. She spent one year on regular patrol before she was promoted to the detective division. I found patrol to be kind of boring, she said. I never got to follow up on cases. I just took the basic information and handed it over to somebody else. Now I work plainclothes and follow up on leads from the patrol. Some of the leads she follows up on deal with sex crime cases. I interview the rape victim and try she said. to offer support and understanding, "From there, I will try to develop leads and hopefully solve the case. Y Detective Stevens says that some people are surprised if she arrests them, but she has never Tun into problems. Of course. Im always with a backup unit when I make an arrest, she said. Most people dont expect me to be a police officer because Im a woman. Sometimes they really act surprised. She is always working to eventually move up in her job, but at the moment she is content with what she is doing. Enjoys Bountiful Sometimes I like the job and sometimes I dont, she said. Its a challenge because its different every day. I'd try just about anything in law enforcement but I really prefer working in Bountiful because I enjoy the community and the closer unit. She enjoys most of the contact she makes with the pubhc even though the majority of it is negative. Its very satisfying to solve a case, but its also very sad because it njins someones life. I once had to arrest a friend and that was very hard. I feel empathy for the person and frustration for the system. People are in and out of jail so fast that they will usually repeat crimes. The jails are With the remark. "I BOUNTIFUL now know more about pigeons than I ever wanted to know," Mayor Dean Stahle and the Bountiful City Council heard plea? both for and against a strong ordinance concerning pigeons. The council, which has been embroiled in the controversy since June, promised to make a final decision on the ordinance by Aug. 11. The citys planning commission has recommended to the council that pigeon owners be allowed only five pigeons, but the pigeon racers in the area complain that is not enough to keep the sport alive. They claim that in order for a racing club to be effective, pigeon owners should have at least 60 to 70 birds, preferably more. The council is comparing ordinances from Salt Lake City and County with Its sad that crime keeps The Salt Lake City ordinance allows County permits up to 43 for each owner, provided the lofts are located 25 feet from the nearest home. The county ordinance prohibits more than 100 in a residential area. Law Requires Children to Have Shots Special to The Tribune The new statewide immunization law goes into effect Thursday.

Too Many for Some Even 25 pigeons are too many for Norman Wells, who told the council he has lived with the problem for eight or nine years. Referring to John E. Townsend, a member of the Bountiful Pigeon Racing Club and his neighbor, Mr. Wells told the council he didnt see why he had to put up with the pigeons. Although Mr. Townsend has cut the number of pigeons he owns, that has not of. (2 Special to The Tribune Former members of the National Job Corps program are being sought by the National Job Corps Alumni Association to serve in a Utah chapter of the organization. Martin Burns, NJCAA secretariat d director, said the Washington organization has decided to form a NJCAA chapter in Utah. Restricted to men and women who have received training in the federally-sponsore- d Job Corps program, NJCAA members attend chapter meetings to share ideas about employment and education, and to plan and participate in various social gatherings and community service projects. 2 Primary Goals Two of the primary, goals of the association are to support young men and women currently enrolled in the Job Corps program and to inform other young people and the public about the benefits of the Job Corps experience. Now it in its third year, the NJCAA has organized chapters in 23 cities across the country and includes members from New Hampshire to Hawaii. "We hope to charter the Utah chapter within the next several months," Mr. Burns said.

C. Richard Chidester. secretary treasurer of the club, told the council there are only four active pigeon racers "Its not a sport thats growing, he said. He informed the council the racers have found the vast majority of neighbors take no offense at the birds and he lamented that the decision could come down to one individual that has the power. Mr. Wells, however, told the council he didnt feel they should change an ordinance to permit what only a few ' wanted. Fanning Community Again? Rulon Haacke, another opponent of a liberal pigeon ordinance, told the council he didnt want to see Bountiful become a farming community again. He complained the pigeons have been a problem for quite some time and no one has come to Mr. Wells defense. He also expressed concern that three pigeon owners could overide what was good for the other 40,000 residents. Mr. Townsend admitted he harboured too many pigeons when he moved into the city and said: To my regret I was irresponsible in letting the pigeons free. I wouldnt have hurt myself or my neighbors, (with the birds). Since city officials informed him he had too many birds, he has cut the number of pigeons and said he will cut the number further. He asked the council not to eliminate a fascinating sport that fits well into fanciers backyards as a hobby. in Bountiful. former Job Corps members in Utah to join the chapter." 3 Organizing Chapter Three former Job Corps members from Utah are organizing the chapter.
