Gordon Huetter president, Huetter Mill and Cabinet on his company's work restoring the governor's mansion. CRIME continued from front In an effort to meet citizen concern about safety in some of Farmingtons parks, a plan has been formulated and implemented to patrol die parks with particular attention to the South Park during peak activity. The South Park hosts the skateboard complex. The problem of overcrowding out of city skaters and vandalism seems to have decreased as the summer has progressed, said Jacobson. The police will step up police presence in park areas during high activity times. The Mobile Neighborhood Watch will be increased during high activity time periods. MNW members will exit vehicles and check the bathrooms for any problems. A special PARTY MNW will be formed with people who live near the South Park area. Cellular phones will be provided to diis walking patrol. The pressure has not let up. In the first part of August 1996. the police handed 157 cases. August has been the heaviest month with 30 cases being reported over a thiee day period. To help meet the ever increasing needs for coverage, Farmington has hired a new officer, Scott Richardson of Kaysville. Richardson was chosen from a Field of 43 applicants. The process is not easy, said Jacobson. First they take a written test, then those with the top percentage are given an oial interview and we narrow that to five. There is a background check, psychological and drug test and an interview w ith the officer's w ife." of 14 individual pieces that connect with luggage clips.

You know you've had a successful show if the V.I.P.'s are dancing, Green said, laughing. The company also used 10 giant flag-lik- e banners and 10 silhouettes of soccer figures to accent the pro- ductions upbeat atmosphere. The show's finale came together with the firing of streamer cannons and all the mosaics coming together to form an enormous soccer ball in circumference. Green had only six weeks to put together the opening ceremony in Miami, and a budget of $225,000. By compari-- . son, the opening ceremonies in Atlanta cost an estimated $15 million. We had to do our show the day after the opening ceremonies in Atlanta, Green explained. We knew there was no way we could match what had happened up there, so we tried to put together a show that really showed off Miami and the South Florida area, and thats what we accomplished. In an effort to continue to produce new and dramatic effects. Green spent three years designing and building a huge American flag. Green wanted a flag large enough to use in a stadium or a parade, and yet easy to transport throughout the 60-yar- . . country. The newly completed flag 50-yar- weighs 1,700 pounds and takes 200 people to operate. Green said the productions serve as a proving ground for the special effects Sky's The Limit provides. If an effect is well received by the crowd, it will be used at future events. Green said it is very important to be responsive to the type of crowd in attendance at the events, and to gear each production to that particular crowds needs. You want to use music that is well known by the general public. For example, you probably don't want to play classical music like Beethoven at a college football game unless you want them (the crowd) to throw Cokes at you, joked Green. He also admitted that occasionally the special effects he envisions are better in his imagination than in reality. However, he is quick to point out that more often than not he gets as caught up in the splendor of the effects as the people watching the production. I love to entertain an audience. To unravel that flag or shoot the streamer cannons and hear the gasps of the audience is just a wonderful feeling, said Green. We try to come up with effects that are grandiose, and that will knock the crowds socks off. three "1 live in my home with Some people like to gripe, but think it really hurts some other people."

VV f ; HAT HAPPENS WHEN RATES DROP Almost every expert today is predicting the same thing for mortgage rates: nothing drastic--- w ith a moderate downturn through the end of the nineties. Recent years have been record-settefor real estate sales. Although this is good news for the real estate business, it raises some concerns in the home loan industry. Whenever rates drop, borrowers appear in increasing numbers, and they find themselves in stiffer competition with other borrowers. Lenders are in a position to expand their criteria for lending, leaving behind those with more a checkered credit history. The good news is that a slowdown in the market tends to make lenders more creative and competitive. The home loan market has become quite complex and sophisticated. Newspaper ads can't possibly con- tain all the information that you need in order to decide which loan is best for you and whether it may be available to you. Mortgage brokers can guide the prospective borrower through the increasingly complex world of home finance. Like realtors, we are paid for our services only when we succeed.
