Show Review - Wednesday, April 24, 1985 - Page 3 Jeep rolls in foothills By MARY COONS Three juveniles escaped serious injury last Wednesday when their four-whe- drive vehicle didn't quite make a hill just south of Kiwanis park, came back down the hill backwards, hit a bump, and flipped over. Eyewitness to the accident, Bob Oscarson, said that he saw the young men try to make it up the hill several times, and when, on the last attempt didn't make it, he saw the car come back down the hill and flip 50 feet in midair. He said that when he got to the car, two of the young men had been thrown clear of the wrecked vehicle, and one was still holding onto a door frame. He said that as smashed as the car was, he really thought that the injuries would have been a lot more serious. Several classmates of the young men came to see the overturned car. They also observed that they were lucky to have gotten out of the wreck with as few injuries as they had. When asked why so many young people in the area try to climb the surrounding hills they said that they do it for the challenge. They also said that they want to see if their vehicles can handle such a climb, and sometimes they, "just want to get to the top!" The young men were treated for cuts and abrasions at American Fork Hospital and released, ac-cording to investigating officer, . Dave Bennett, of the Utah County Sheriff's office. it- - ' , I j ''' This vehicle rolled over this past week as some young people tried to climb a steep hill above Kiwanis Park, As the car rolled back down the hill, it hit a rock and flipped. A pleasant Grove police officer said that the youths were lucky to have only sustained minor cuts and bruises, as the body of the vehicle was smashed down, and it didn't have a ' roll bar. Dandoy named new head for State Training School Jeremiah R. Dandoy was named superintendent of the Utah State Training School on Friday of last week. The appointment is effective May 23, according to Dr. Gary Nakao, Director of the Division of Services to the Handicapped. Mr. Dandoy will also serve as Associate Director of the Division, Dr. Nakao said. "We look forward to having Mr. Dandoy on board and feel he will be instrumental in the continuing development of a state wide com-prehensive continuum of services to the handicapped," Dr. Nakao stated when announcing the new superintendent. Mr. Dandoy is currently serving as Assistant Director for the Arizona State Department of Economic Security. In this capacity, he is Director of Developmental Disabilities and his duties included superivising the operation of three institutions, several group homes, foster care and a full range of child and adult day care programs. His experience also includes a five year stint as District Programming Manager and Facility Superin-tendent for the State of Arizona. At that time, he was superintendent for a 165 bed facility for the develop-mentall- y disabled, an 80 bed facility for the mentally disabled persons. The new superintendents creaus also include teaching Quantitative Systems and Statistics at Arizona State University and Business Mathematics at Central Arizona College. He was named Administrator of the Year by the Association for Retarded Citizens; his name ap-pears in "Who's Who in the West," and he has served with various community and professional organizations. In accepting the job of superin-teden- t, Mr. Dandoy said, "I am pleased and excited to have the challenge and the opportunity to serve the handicapped people of the State of Utah." He said he feels a balanced ap-proach is needed with both the training school and a strong com-munity based system of service to meet each individual's needs. "We must continually strive to provide the highest possible quality of life to those who reside at the Utah State Training School and the best possible working environment and training for the staff." Mr. Dandoy continued, "We also need appropriate community ser-vices to meet the needs of people who choose to remain at home and to insure that any individual who leaves the Utah State Training School will have equivalent or better services." Mr. Dandoy is the husband of Dr. Suzanne Dandoy, director of the Utah Department of Health, however, according to Dr. Nakao, in counseling with the Regional Office of Health Care Finance in Denver (the agency which administers Medicaid) there appears to be no legal conflict of interest. Man petitions to keep home conforming use for the home. He said he did not want it residential, as he would like to use some of the property for commercial business at some time. The mayor said he had no ob-jection to taking a look at the or-dinance to see if allowing a residence in a commercial zone would be alright. He said that people would have to be aware in such a case that a commercial establishment might be' built next door in a zone of this nature. The mayor added that before any change could take place, however, a public hearing would have to be held and public input received which might result in the ordinance change being turned down. He said it would appear that it would be better to have a family living in a residence within a commercial zone than have a home sit empty and deteriorate.- Councilman David Dickerson noted that the present law says that they cannot live in the home but the council agreed that no action would be taken until the issue is reviewed with the Planning Commission, council members and the city at-torney. johnLundquist, 369 E. State Road, asked the Pleasant Grove City council Tuesday to allow him to continue living in a home he has purchased which is located in a commercial zone. Mr Lundquist said that when they brought the property they were not (old that the use of the property had run out because the home had been unoccupied for over one year. .Building Inspector Fred ) christensen said that he told the realtor that the home could not be used as a residence because it was in a commercial zone and the nonc-onforming use was no longer valid because the previous owners had. been out of the home for over one year. Mr. Lundquist brought a letter (rom the realtor which stated that he could not recall being told that the use had run out, but lie said he was told that the property was in a commercial zone. The city ordinance states that when property with a nonc-onforming use is vacant for a year, il must conform to zoning codes. The city treasurer noted that water had ..been turned off to the home for. nearly two years before the Lun-dquis- ts moved in. Mr. Lundquist asked that the j council allow him' the non- - USTS runaway booked for rape A runaway from the Utah Stale Training School had been booked Friday by Salt Lake police for in-vestigation of "rape of a child, forcible sexual abuse and strongarm sodomy of a boy." The investigation is in connection with the rape of a d boy the morning of April 16. The old man was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail about 7 p.m. Tuesday after being ' questioned by police. The victim of the assault, ac-cording to reports, was playing outside near Seventh South and Roberta Street when he was pulled . into some bushes and raped by a man on a bicycle. Later in the day, the victim's parents saw a man fitting the description of the assailant riding a bicycle in the neighborhood. He was detained until police could arrive. After questioning, the suspect, officers found him to be a runaway from the training school and that he ' was mentally handicapped. Lt. John Durrant, American Fork Police, said the man had been reported as a runaway about 9 p.m. the night of April 15. McNally's future Continued from page 1 a lot depends on just how much help company officials are willing to provide. "Right now we're trying for a split financing," he said, "with McNally carrying part of the contract and outside sources and individual participants providing the rest." About 120 of the over 300 employees are interested in owning a share of the company. State officials expressed concern over the closing and a spokesman for the Utah Community and Economic Development Association said that their agency might be able to help the employees group secure a government loan, but advised them to proceed with all talks before the state becomes officially involved. Negotiations will start later this week and Chorniak said he is hopeful of reaching an agreement by mid-Jun- e. In the meantime, a management spokesperson said that layoffs are going according to schedule and that the plant should be closed by the May 1 deadline with office personnel remaining for another month. ft ft y( "It's Just Plain KXA.
