D.C. officials believe drug tests accurate
Northern Utah Job Camp attracts hundreds
BY MELINDA WILLIAMS Clipper Staff Writer FARMINGTON — Some criminal justice drug tests tested by the Davis County Sheriff’s Department were sent to Arizona for retest by an outside lab to double-check for accuracy. But Davis County officials are confident testing done in the Sheriff’s Office is as accurate as it can be. News reports surfaced over the weekend that drug court participants complained about the results of tests after the county took over the testing on Aug. 1. Chief Deputy Davis County Attorney Bill McGuire said Monday that a drug court employee did send some samples to an outside lab for testing, but that is not an unusual

The Northern Utah Job Camp, which took place last Thursday at the Bountiful Regional Center, was besieged by hundreds of job seekers looking for ways to make themselves appear better on paper and in front of prospective employers. The camp included sections on creating the proper resume, creating networking opportunities and as many as eight guest speakers. Nearly 30 booths lined the outer ring of the regional center (top photo), allowing job seekers to gain expertise in a wide range of networking and job skills areas. Technicians (bottom photo) monitor audio and video quality in the main theater area for key guest speakers — two of whom included Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce President Lane Beattie and Dr. Todd Beard of Weber State University.
HILL AFB — Teofilo Frankie Quintana, the man who allegedly crashed his vehicle into an electronic barricade system at Hill Air Force Base last week will be in federal court on Sept. 1. Quintana, 40, faces two charges of destroying federal property and unlawful entry to a
action.“In any situation there’s confirmation testing done. We’ll do that various times throughout the year.” The Sheriff’s Office took over drug testing for the county after allegations were made that an employee of Frontier Probation, which had been under contract to conduct the urinalysis tests for drug court participants was leaking test dates to some drug court participants. McGuire said false positives sometimes happen, adding that there may have been a problem initially with the reagent, that is, a substance used in the testing. “In reality, I don’t think there’s anything there,” McGuire said of the allegations of inaccurate testing, although there’s always the potential for false positives.

military installation. Authorities are still not sure why Quintana wanted to get on base. But officials at Hill say Quintana arrived at the south gate about 4:15 a.m. Thursday and told the guard he had made a wrong turn. The guard told authorities that Quintana would not provide identification, so the guard
asked Quintana to stay in the vehicle to wait for Hill's law enforcement officers. Instead, according to a complaint filed in federal court, Quintana accelerated the vehicle through the gate. At that point, the guard activated electronic vertical posts, which Quintana crashed into. He then fled on foot and eluded base security. He was finally
BOUNTIFUL — After two weeks of work recovering from a sudden flood of both floors, Boulton Elementary was ready to begin school Monday morning as usual. Over the weekend of Aug. 15, Boulton Elementary School on Orchard Drive flooded with the rain due to some problems with its roof. The Davis School District had workers at the school for the following week and a half before teachers were finally allowed in their rooms. As of Friday, Aug. 21, rooms were still not ready to be set up. “It’s amazing, really, but we were ready to start school
Monday morning,” said a representative from Boulton Elementary School who asked not to be named because she wasn’t authorized to speak to the media. Teachers spent the entire weekend over Aug. 22 and 23 to get their classrooms ready. Typically, schools are not open over the weekends. Teachers talked with principal Laura Bond to have the school open and be allowed to work on getting classrooms ready. “It’s been a miracle to have all the teachers working to get things ready,” said the same representative from the school. sroberts@davisclipper.com
picked up about 10:30 a.m. near the base golf course. The car Quintana allegedly crashed was reported stolen to the Weber County Sheriff's Office earlier in the week. Law enforcement officials also say Quintana had no valid driver’s license. If convicted, Quintana could face up to five years in person. mwilliams@davisclipper.com
