Totals from the 2010 U.S. Census released Thursday show the state’s total population to be 2,763,885, an increase of 530,716 over the year 2000.

The Layton Police Department and the Utah Pharmaceutical Drug Crime Project held a training session Thursday dealing with investigations and prosecutions of pharmaceutical drug crimes. Those crimes include doctor shopping, forged prescriptions and diverting or selling prescriptions and medications. “The biggest thing is, sometimes these types of cases are fairly complicated and require resources that not everybody is aware of, like the controlled substance database,” said Layton Police Lt. Mark Chatlin. “The class definitely raised awareness for the participants and gave them a number of resources to use in order to help them investigate their crimes more effectively.” The three-hour training was the first of several sessions to be scheduled. Chatlin said 30 people from agencies all along the Wasatch Front attended. Layton hosted the first training session because of its close ties with the UPDCP. Police Chief Terry Keefe sits on the executive committee of UPDCP, a public-private, multidisciplinary partnership that involves more than 20 local, state and federal experts. Those experts are focused on reducing the availability of prescription drugs for abuse, increasing the perception of risk that comes with the drugs as well as helping the public become less tolerant of the nonmedical use of pharmaceutical drugs. According to useonlyasdirected. org, the number of overdose deaths from prescription pain medication has increased more than 400 percent since 2000. In 2009, prescription drugs passed cocaine/crack as the fourth-mostabused drug in Utah. “That’s a pretty shocking statistic,” said Chatlin, who is currently assigned to the narcotics task force in Davis County. Chatlin said that, for years, there were no cases dealing with prescription drugs, and now it is a very common thing for the task force to work cases involving pharmaceutical drugs. He said the general perception is if a drug is prescribed by a doctor, it must be completely safe. “In some cases, it is, but when those drugs reach the hands of those willing to abuse them or willing to sell them like they would sell marijuana or cocaine or methamphetamine, that’s when it becomes a problem.” Census From 1A 42,745 resident to 49,975, a 16.9 percent increase. Morgan County grew 32 percent, from 7,129 residents to 9,469. The preliminary data showed most cities are also erowing rapidly. Layton, grew from 58,474 residents to 67,311, a 15.1 percent increase. Roy grew from 32,885 residents to 36,884, a 12.2 percent increase. Ogden erew from 77,226 residents to 82,225, up 7.3 percent. The Census release sent the state’s number crunchers to their calculators to figure out what it all means. One of the busiest was Pam Perlich, senior research economist in the Bureau of Economic and Business Research at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. Perlich is a member of the Utah Population Estimates Committee. For the past five years, she has been working with projections and estimates to figure out which segments of Utah’s fast-growing population were growing the most. She had real numbers to play with Thursday. Most significant, Perlich said, is the increase in minorities in the state as a whole, as well as in large cities such as Ogden. “Our minority population in Utah is at 20 percent,” she said, with 542,166 of all races that are not white. “We were at 328,904 in 2000. That’s an increase of over 200,000, a 65 percent increase and.accounts for 40 percent of the population increase of the state. “So four out of 10 new Utahns, either through birth or immigration, is a minority person.” Most of those are Hispanics. There were 358,340 Hispanics in Utah in 2010, up from 201,559 in 2000. Davis County now has 25,753 Hispanics, while Weber County has 38,711. Most Weber Hispanics, 24,940, live in Ogden, making that city nearly 30 percent Hispanic. Perlich said the biggest change in Hispanic growth, which makes it the biggest change in the state, is in those ages 18 and younger. The total population of young Hispanics increased by 68 percent, compared with a 21 percent increase of all young people, she said. “The adult minorities are lower because the wave of diversity is a wave of kids coming first,” she said. “For the adult population, the minority share is 17.7 percent.” For all minorities, “we’re approaching one-in-four, or 24.4 percent, less than 18 years of age, and if we look at just Hispanic kids, almost 17 percent of all the youths in our state are Hispanic.” The bottom line, she said, is that Utah is populated by larger numbers of minorities, especially Hispanics, and is going to get more so. “The myth of forever white Utah is a myth,” she said. John Zurbuchen, who heads English as a second language programs in Davis School District, said the new numbers don’t tell him anything he hasn’t seen by looking out the window. “Tt sure raises education issues and population issues,” he said, especially because increased minority numbers doesn’t bring a lot of extra money to deal with the problems they cause. “So we do what everyone else does — we provide for an ESL endorsement for our teachers, which they can.get through our in-service, and that gives them strategies for teaching students that need English as a second language.” He said the district also emphasizes programs, such as Latinos in Action, which uses bilingual students in junior high schools’to work with students in elementary schools. He said the district has to find ways to work with all minorities — the district deals with 60-plus languages — because “we’ve got lead time and we know it’s not going to go backward, so let’s go forward because those are our kids.” Davis County Commission Chairwoman Louenda H. Downs said the 28 percent increase in Davis’ population is a sign the county is doing something right. “From the perspective of a commission, we are not surprised. Growth like this is happening everywhere, and we’ve got a great place to live.” Eventual build-out for the county is about 450,000, she said, and “we’ve been really trying to build the economy, knowing that where you build, people will come, and we welcome people who can be a part of our dream.” Bellistou JEWELRY Wow...
