The FAA is also paying for 90 percent of the security fencing and taxiway improvements, with the state picking up half of the city's remaining costs. Melling said the next pre-application for another grant request to the FAA is also in the works and is scheduled to be turned in by the first of September. "We will be asking for more funding to strengthen the taxiways and for the required security fencing project," he said. Another change at the airport terminal building is a new security system, installed by Skywest.

Melling said the city didn't have anything to do with the new security system next to Skywest's passenger entrance. However, the new concourse did make the needed room for the new, more sophicated system which will enhance safety to Skywest's patrons. provements. G.M. Aldred of St.

George is contracted to finish the work on this phase of the expansion. Last March word came from the FAA that $230,000 in grant funding had been approved for Cedar City for improvements at the airport. The city had originally asked for $435,656 to handle improvements and to install security fencing and terminal building work. Aldred's employees will install about 400 feet of the security fencing in the next phase that will eventually enclose the entire airport a few years down the road. The contract also calls for removal of the existing fence and improvements to the taxiways and aprons near the runways.

"It is our goal to be able to strengthen the runways for larger air carriers in the future and this is the first step in stronger aprons and taxiways," Melling said. "At this point, larger planes could land on the runways but our taxiways and arpons are not strong enough for them to turn around and unload passengers." "It is our goal to be able to strengthen the runways for larger air carriers in the future and this is the first step in stronger aprons and taxiways." Joe Melling Cedar City Manager Carter Enterprises of Cedar City has done the work on the new addition to the municipal started last March. Melling said the city is planning to have an open house to show off the newly completed concourse once all the work is done.

The new concourse was built on the west side of the main terminal building and allows passengers easy access to the planes on the runways and strengthens safety and security efforts.

"The construction of the new concourse is not quite completed," Melling said. "Although visually it appears done, the contractor has until next Wednesday to tie up all the loose ends."

(Spectrum Nancy Rhodes) Dispute leaves stores without trash pickup SALT LAKE CITY (AP) A dispute between a garbage-collection firm and a recycling company has left about 30 Smith's Food stores without garbage pickup since last week. Overflowing garbage at some of the stores prompted concern about a potential public health hazard. Haven Simmons, operations manager for Smith's, said the health problem was taken care of when the recycling company agreed to allow Smith's to put all its garbage in the recycling compactors, rather than in the regular garbage bins.

U.S. District Judge David Winder ordered Laidlaw Waste Systems to haul away garbage within the next three days, and to stop to pick up garbage from Smith's stores in Utah, Salt Lake, Davis and Weber counties. Recycling lawyer L.R. Gardiner Jr. said Laidlaw stopped hauling garbage from Smith's to the recovery plant to forcp Recycling out of business.

Recycling Vice President David Monson, former Republican congressman, lieutenant governor and state auditor, said Laidlaw contracted with Recycling last Oc-toberto 'haul caitf board and garbage from Smith's; but stopped making deliveries last week. Recycling, headquartered in Salt Lake City, filed a $5 million suit against Laidlaw late Friday, charging the Canadian-based disposal firm disrupted pickup ser Trio likely to faoe adult charges in escape, chase 3 J4 i If 4, 4' i vices at Smith's to force Recycling out of business. When Recycling attempted to contract with other refuse firms, Laidlaw threatened its competitors "with harm and with litigation" if they hauled Smith's garbage away, Gardiner said. Laidlaw attorney James T. Dunn said Laidlaw halted collections after Recycling stopped paying for its disposal services.

"We just want our money," he said. Romerill said Recycling owes "just under $100,000." Recycling officials said they terminated the collection -contract with Laidlaw, but Laidlaw refused to remove their containers from Smith's, and then blocked Containers from supplying receptacles by threatening a lawsuit.

The 30-story, space needle-shaped resort has had a checkered history. It was opened by the late billionaire Howard Hughes in July of 1969 after facing a series of problems during construction. It was bought in 1978 by a Midwest group for $12.5 million, then sold in October of 1983 to prominent Las Vegas businessman Bill Morris for $20 million. Morris was visibly upset by failure to obtain a buyer Monday. "Sometimes it comes down to good luck and bad luck," he said after the lengthy hearing.

"I had nothing but bad luck. Someone is going to come in and run the Landmark and look like a genius." Monday's hearing was expected to produce at least one buyer. The trustees reported early last month they received an offer of $35.5 million for the property, and other offers were expected. Cory said Monday the potential buyers had failed to pay a required deposit in time for the bankruptcy hearing. Woodard said the potential buyers, a Denver group, "tried to put the pieces together to do the deal, but somewhere the pieces just fell apart." Two individuals holding a substantial interest in the resort made $100,000 deposits so they could bid at Monday's sale.

LAS VEGAS (AP) Trustees for the troubled Landmark Hotel and Casino began shutting down gaming operations and planned to close the hotel by midweek after a bankruptcy court hearing failed to produce a buyer for the resort. Gaming Control Board agents stood by as the resort began closing down table games Monday afternoon, within an hour after a bankruptcy hearing failed to attract any buyers. "This is just an obsolete gaming property that no one's interested considering the debt," said Forrest Woodward, who managed the property for bankruptcy trustee Richard Davis.

Debt on the resort had climbed to $48 million, including some $10 million in unsecured claims. Tim Cory, an attorney for Davis, said unsecured creditors could forget about seeing any money if the property closed. He predicted it would be closed 100 days or more while creditors pursue a foreclosure sale. Woodward said slot machines would continue to operate at the hotel through Wednesday, and the resort's 498 rooms would remain open until Wednesday or Thursday. Guests with reservations ter the middle of the week would be placed at other resorts here, Woodward said.

However, Laidlaw has a new problem.

The Teamsters Union early Monday organized an informational picket that stalled the movement of about half of Laid-law's garbage trucks. The picket follows a dispute about negotiations over wages, hours and working conditions. "The judge has ordered us to remove the garbage bins from Smith's within- three days," said Laidlaw regional, manager Clark Romerill. "With this picket by the Teamsters, probably be required to take the whole three days." Recycling Corp. asked Monday for an injunction forcing Laidlaw "My understanding at this point is that the gentleman, suffered a stroke during the beating," Love-lady said.

"There's some feeling coming back, but he's still in critical but stable condition." A female guard suffered a broken arm, a dislocated shoulder, torn tendons and cartilage and internal injuries and was treated at Castleview Hospital, authorities said. Lovelady said the keys had been stolen and the guards locked into a cell in the six-bed facility. They were discovered by a friend of the woman stopped to visit and heard screaming and pounding from within the locked facility. Shilaos said the suspects could face multiple charges, including aggravated assault, felony evading, aggravated kidnapping, robbery, escape, felony criminal mischief and automobile theft. The incident began about 8 p.m.

The three had been detained since about 5:20 a.m. Friday morning after being charged with auto theft, possession of a stolen car and stolen property and in the case of the 17-year-old boy, driving without a license. Lovelady said. Those charges stemmed from a report of car prowling in nearby Wellington.

A 17-year-old girl and two boys aged 16 and 17 were being held Monday at the Provo Detention Center and were expected to be returned to this eastern Utah city for an appearance in 7th Circuit Court on Tuesday, said their probation officer, Patty Lovelady. Meantime, investigators from the Carbon County sheriff's office and the Price Police Department were supplying information to prosecutors who would determine the nature of the charges, said Police Chief Aleck Shilaos. The three, all of Colorado City, were arrested late Saturday when their speeding vehicle was forced off the road after the chase up Price Canyon.

Shilaos said earlier the juveniles apparently tried to use the 5-year-old as a hostage. She was unharmed. Two guards at the Carbon County Juvenile Detention Center, whose names were not released, were beaten in the escape, he said. A male guard reportedly was in critical condition at an unidentified Salt Lake hospital where he was flown with head injuries. We Succeed Where Diets Fail You: As people vaty.
