James White as he stepped off a C-141 transport Tuesday to the cheers of family and friends at Hill Air Force Base. White, a mobility or logistics expert, was the last of 1,000 personnel from the 388th to return home. Most wing personnel returned in March. "On the long flight over, I just thought about getting here. It was my turn, and I wanted to get home," he said.

Norm Bangerter has assured University of Utah administrators that the school would lose no money for allowing parts of its campus to be used as Olympic sites. The university interests also would be protected if a proposed speed skating oval is built near the campus, said Bud Scruggs, the governor's chief of staff. Opponents of the oval will re ceive at least one more hearing if university land is used as part of the oval site, Scruggs said.

university tresioent unase Peterson, Vice President Walt Gnemi and Professor John Francis met with the governor, Scruggs, Mayor Palmer DePaulis, Utah Sports Authority board chairman Ian dimming and other officials Monday afternoon to present their concerns. The governor met later with op ponents of building the oval on Guardsman Way, the southern entrance of the university. Reporters were barred from both meetings at Motocross Bawden sets up by Chris Hardman Staff writer ST. GEORGE Motocross is a sport that has been around for years, but in southern Utah it's been in relative obscurity until recently. One local man, Keith Bawden, decided a while back to take a chance and try to bring motocross action to Utah's Dixie.

Bawden leased some land outside of Washington City, constructed a track with his own money and is putting on the five-stage High Anxiety Ironman Championship Series as his first "It's just a personal deal. I love all kinds of racing," Bawden said. "I'd like to get this going and maybe get some off-road cars out there too." Since most people have never seen a motocross race, it's hard for them to imagine the excitement that the races offer, but you don't have to be an avid motorcycle fan to enjoy the action. Riders travel at high rates of speed over a dirt track that is anything but smooth and includes several jumps, which are always crowd pleasers. The Sports Authority board approved a preliminary agreement with the university earlier this month.

Under its terms, future organizers of a Winter Olympics would spend up to $50 million to build facilities at. the school in exchange for use of part of the campus as an Olympic village and Rice Stadium as the site of opening and closing Olympic ceremonies. The organizing committee has yet to be formed and probably will not be unless Salt Lake City is chosen host of the 1998 Winter Olympics. The International Olympic Committee will choose a host city at a June 15 meeting in Birmingham, England. Scruggs said not knowing with whom They will negotiate a final contract has frustrated university administrators.

Gnemi said the meeting also involved clarifying the intent and goals of Sports Authority's plans to build a speed skating oval on Guardsman Way. "We've got a neat track out there and we're going to try to keep improving and make it better and better all the time." The track has full concession facilities and offers a full day of entertainment. Bawden said one of his primary goals is to get more people interested in the sport. "I love racing and I want to see something work here," he said. "St.

George needs something like that. They've got Softball and golf. We need something for the youn- er generation and I think racing Motocross isn't a cheap sport to get started in, but once involved, riders seem to stay interested. "Going out and just riding is relatively cheap, but when you get into racing you want to have the neat stuff, plus you've got to have the safety equipment so then you're talking some money," Bawden said. It's an expensive sport but around St.

George right now there's always somebody with a race bike in the back of their truck. It's picking up and I think it's going to get better." Several local businesses have contributed prizes and are helping sponsor the races and Bawden said he is always looking for more sponsors or volunteers to help at the track.

Coffee makers being recalled SALT LAKE CITY (AP) General Electric Co. has recalled automatic coffee makers like the model implicated in a Salt Lake house fire that killed two children in 1989.

(Spectrum Nancy Rhodes) IRS office flooded with One motorcycle race, the Rhino Rally, has been going on annually in the area for the last several years, but that is a desert race, whereas motocross takes place on a track. Bawden and a group of dedicated volunteers put in countless hours preparing the track for each race.

The next race, the fourth in the series, is scheduled for May 11-12. "We've had a real good turnout except for the last race," Bawden said, noting that approximately 130 riders from around the region took part in the March race, the most so far. Bawden's goal is to get 200 riders for a race. Plans are already underway to have another series of races starting later in the summer and Bawden is hoping to install lights at the track in order to have night races, possibly as soon as this summer. In order to attract families to the races, there are things for the kids to do, such as a chicken chase.

"We want to have it kind of like the midwest where they have a state fair atmosphere (at the races)," Bawden said. "We're trying to make it fun for the whole family.

"Whether the opinion covers one, some or all of the hundreds of Indian tribes or nations within the United States, I reject its rationale because it is not the province of courts to amend statutes on the theory that the legislature would amend them if asked," Moeller wrote. "Principles of separation of powers and judicial restraint should constrain this court to let the legislature speak for itself on legislative matters," he added.

OGDEN (AP) More than 4.7 million pieces of mail were received at the Ogden Internal Revenue Service Center last week as taxpayers rushed to beat the April 15 deadline. "That's pretty close to a center record, if not a record, for a one-week period," said spokesman Doug Green. "We haven't got them all opened yet, of course, but we did open almost 3 million, and of those, 2.5 million were tax returns and over 200.000 were extensions." The Utah State Tax Commission also is reporting a glut of returns in the wake of the filing Judge drops inmate murder rap PHOENIX (AP) Navajo tribal courts can use Arizona state courts to force appearances by witnesses in the tribe's criminal trials, according to a divided Arizona Supreme Court. Tuesday's 3-2 decision explains an earlier ruling in which the justices refused to block tribal subpoenas issued to off-reservation witnesses in the "Big Boquillas Ranch case against former tribal chairman Peter MacDonald Jr. A state law passed in 1937 allows Arizona courts to enforce subpoenas from other states and territories of the United States.

The witnesses, including former U.S. Attorney Mel McDonald, claimed the Navajo Nation was neither a state nor a territory as lawmakers understood those terms in 1937. But, writing for the majority, Justice Stanley Feldman said allowing the tribal court to qualify under the law "furthers the law enforcement interests of both Arizona and the Navajo Nation" even if lawmakers in 1937 did not consider the reservation as a territory and even if other tribes might not qualify. Justices James Moeller and James Duke Cameron dissented, saying that any updates to the law Woman claims SALT LAKE CITY (AP) A Mormon woman claims in a $9 million federal court suit that she was subjected to religious and sexual discrimination at Kimberly-Clark's Weber County plant.

With the help of 140 seasonal workers, the tax commission expects to have all checks deposited in the bank by the end of next week and all refund returns moving through the system, Perry said. She said the state mailed out about 660,000 taxpayer returns and has received back about percent of those.

That offense was committed while Troyer was on parole for sexually assaulting a 78-year-old woman confined to a wheelchair. "It's come to my attention that their is probably insufficient evidence to go forward with the prosecution of Danny Troyer," Skordas said. "I make these statements based on some of the court's rulings excluding certain evidence." The revelation came during a motion hearing for Troyer's trial, which was scheduled to begin May 6. He also said that the prosecutor's office had lost track of some of its witnesses because the case had dragged on so long.

Daniels, in a series of previous SALT LAKE CITY (AP) A judge has dismissed a murder charge against a Utah State Prison inmate accused of killing an 88-year-old woman after the prosecutor claimed court rulings had gutted the case. Third District Judge Scott Daniels on Tuesday granted a defense motion to dismiss the capital homicide charge against Daniel R. Troyer, 32, after Deputy Salt Lake County Attorney Greg Skordas said he no longer had sufficient evidence to proceed with the three-year-old murder Skordas told the court that he remained convinced that Troyer is guilty of the murder of Ethel Luckau, who was found suffocated in bed on Aug. 17, 1988. Police have named Troyer as a suspect in at least three other murders of elderly women since 1985.

No other charges have been filed. DNA testing on pubic hairs and possible semen found at the Luckau crime scene. Daniel's also had ruled inadmissible statements Troyer made to Salt Lake Police Sgt. Don Bell, which led police to Troyer's sister. Bonnie Troyer told officers her brother had asked for an alibi for the day of Luckau's killing.

The judge took umbrage what he took to be Skordas's implication that the court was at fault for the case's demise. i.
