When Cathy McDermont read an article about it, she was anxious to get the program going in . Davis County. As soon as materials were available, McDermont, who is now the Davis County Safe At Home team leader, and Chief Deputy Attorney General , Reed Richards put together a presentation. Going around to different civic groups, they ended up with several volunteers for the team. The program, focusing on a number of different issues, deals with problems of domestic vio- lence prevention. With a program having been presented to 900 dif-ferent groups in the state, more than 50,000 people have been through the training, which affects not only them and their . , concept that was born A yi.'SgNg'?! RICHARDS: If there is a model county in the state for handling abuse, it is Davis," he said. families but also neighbors and friends. Much work has been done and this is a very county, said Richards. If there is a model county in the state for handling abuse, it is Davis. pro-acti- Another area of focus is the childrens area. Within two years there will be Children's Justice Centers in all of Utah. Richards said, There is no better mechanism in helping curb and prevent child abuse than the Childrens Justice Centers. The centers are not an overnight facility, but a home-lik- e facility designed to help children feel safe and comfortable while they are being interviewed regarding the alleged abuse. in Utah in 1990, children visit the centers while investigators meet with them and their parents. A team assesses the needs of the children and families for support services. Other top areas of concern are dating violence, where a video is shown and a presentation done by high school students. And a presentation to civic groups and senior centers provides suggestions on what to do if mistreated physically or financially. It is hoped this will curtail senior abuse and fraud, And to help stop child abduction, volunteers are working with the superintendents office to bring into elementary schools appropriate information for each grade level to make children aware of the problem and what they can do. McDermont said that there is an awareness coming that wasnt there before. She said that even though the problem has always been around, because of growing awareness it seems intensified. She asked the citizens to think about whether or not abuse is multi-disciplina- OK in their community. In our community our children are our children and they deserve at least this, she said, meaning protection from abuse. There are several bills and changes to bills addressing the child abuse area on the 1998 Criminal Law Legislative agenda. These bills, presented at a Safe At Home team meeting, are more exact in their description of the crime and the punishment. For instance, the Sex Offender's Register bill makes information on the sex offender database a public record and will simplify access while reducing costs to get this information. For more information of these bills, or to give your support to the bills, contact your legislator by calling the House of Representatives at 1(801) You can also write a letter and address it to your legislator at either the House of Representatives Office, 3 8 State Capitol, or the Senate Office, 3 9 State Capitol, Salt Lake City, UT 84114 538-141- 4. 1 1 ' .

The district has the responsibility of determining how much pretreatment an industry is required to administer before being allowed to send wastes to the districts facility. By D LOUISE BROWN Standard Examiner correspondent Deciding how much pretreatment should be required by industries before their sewage is allowed into the North Davis County Sewer Districts system is something that district manager Kevin Cowan doesnt want to determine alone. At the districts regular board meeting last week, Cowan requested a special committee be formed to assist in making that decision. Board Chairman Ivan Anderson stated, "Through our permits we have the right to address these industries and place restrictions. If we dont meet our state requirements, the EPA comes after us with fines. What we have to decide is how much of the waste load are we willing to treat at the plant, and how much of the responsibility are we going to put back on the industries, said Cowan. We have to wonder, how much of this plant do we expand just for industry. Because if that industry goes belly up, we're still left with an expanded plant. Anderson assigned board members Robert Thurgood, Brent Allen and Chuck Duncan to join him and Cowan on the committee. In other action. West Point Mayor Jay H. Ritchie was sworn in to replace former Mayor Howard F. Stoddart. to board Cowan explained School Menus uctt Farmington studies transportation City officials were forced to redesign the transportation plan recently. The firm of Horrocks Engineering and an advisory committee were given the responsibility of looking at Farmingtons needs in relation to the pressing needs of other entities in the county and state. By SUSAN TANNER HOLMES Standard-Examine- r correspondent FARMINGTON - The city is ready to finalize its master transportation plan recommendations and then turn it over to the public for final input. Public comments and recommendations were taken at an open house earlier this month, and then council members had their chance to comment on the plan during council meeting. The impact on city and regional transportation systems resulting from the rapid growth and development throughout the Ogden and Salt Lake areas is being felt like never before. Projects along major corridors such as the Legacy Highway and and U.S. 89 have the future reconstruction of both regional and local effects, said officials in open house materials. The city of Farmington is experiencing these impacts firsthand as plans to build and widen these corridors through the city. As growth continues, traffic volumes, congestion and travel delay will continue to increase as well. f Tit j'! a f,w SUeet After transportation figures for 2020 were developed, one area of focus included ensuring a frontage road system through Farmington to help alleviate traffic concerns in neighborhoods and in front of schools. Concern was also given to overy passes, interchanges, the stop in downtown Farmington, the Burke Lane interchange and Shepard Lane and Cherry Hill concerns. , Antiques, Collectibles, Crafts Mam five-wa- Fine antique furniture.
