31 Feb 6 1986 Delta police demand security policy from school district Historical Scipio town building is a currently under remodeling for Senior Citizen Center Delta Police want a clarification of the Millard School District’s security policy in response to criticism of their handling of arrests made at Delta High School Thanksgiving Day Three juveniles and an adult were rested and chaiged with a Class I) misdemeanor Nov 25 1985 for being in the school building without permission or supervision Charges were later reduced to “diversion agreements” for the juveniles but are still pending for the adult Armed with shotguns police entered the school building after finding a door open They discovered four people in the gymnasium who were taken into custody as suspects and were handcuffed and taken to police headaccording to Delta Police quarters Chief Roger Young who said the officers “acted within the scope of their when an offense is being commitduty ted in their presence” Critics claim both the police and charges were excessive in a town where “kids are always getting caught in the building when they are not suppose to be there” Police Chief Young said for his officers the matter is not that simple “You can’t ask the police to maintain the security of a building and then tell them when and how to do that job We have a procedure to follow when we check the buildings We either do it or we don’t” he said After the November arrests Chief Young and school officials met and formally agreed that upon pursuing an investigation at the school police will call one of five people on a list until some school official can direct the police on how to proceed Chief Young said the idea is not workable and now wants the school district to develop a written policy for all the school in Delta two in buildings-fiI illmore “In many cases a call may be the easiest thing to do but there may also be cases where the officer must act quickly -- where stopping to make a call IPP monitoring would hinder the investigation” Chief Young said Delta High School Principal Ban Simmons said the police action was appropriate during the Thanksgiving Day arrests but said he hoped the would not damage what he considers to be a good working relationship with Delta Police “This was an unfortunate incident and we have made our feelings known But this is not a blanket criticism of the police department just in the handling of this one case” the principal said Chief oting said the schools arc one of the department’s biggest securitv problems and that a written school district security policy would he important for both police and schools “A written clarification of the security policy will help us do our job and reduce the school’s liability as well” Chief Young said pictures

three times as likely to have a heart attack as men who have said USA Today never smoked Researchers directed by Dr Lynn Rosenberg of the Boston University 873 Drug Epidemiology Unit studied men under the age of 55 who survived their first heart attacks and compared their smoking habits with those of 2775 men who were hospitalized for other reasons Men who stopped smoking for more than a year but less than two years had double the risk of heart counterattack than their parts But when smokers quit for at least two years their risk appeared to be about the same as that of people who had never
