Local Region TI ili DAILY Spectrum Wednesday, October 23, 1991 Local Briefs Brian Head to issue water revenue bond 1. mmrm mm wmm when it lends the town money, including revenue, the bond and pre-existing debt of the water system, to ensure a bonds feasibility. In other action, council discussed a subdivision ordinance. Ronnow said he and Town Manager Judy Morrisette found the 1984 ordinance inadequate. They looked at ordinances of cities similar to Brian Head and found West Valley City's subdivision ordinance compatible.

Ronnow explained he would "work it to cover our needs" but use it as a starting place. He suggested the town consider a community development department and a joint fee schedule to be adopted and reviewed each year. Ronnow also said the town "needs specific design standards" for such things as minimum lot size and minimum lot specification. Ronnow proposed the town develop rules to govern alarms. Among suggestions were: Alarm services must register with the town.

Contractors are required to have a valid Brian Head town business license and a valid state license. Contractors must be accountable for the alarms. Contractors must supply Brian Head with certain information so the town can call someone to take responsibility for the alarm. After three false alarms and one calendar month or five false alarms, whichever comes first, a $50 service assessment will be charged. by Nicole Hampton Staff Writer BRIAN HEAD The town's intent to issue a non-voted revenue bond to the Utah Safe Drinking Water Board for $798,000 at 4 percent interest was discussed during a public hearing Tuesday before Town Council.

Mayor H.C. Deutschlander explained several springs feed into the Redwood Tank and the water-line feeding into town. Among others, these include a new well near the Town Hall and the million-gallon tank near chairlift 3. Deutschlander said "the million-gallon tank supplies most of the town's water now." A proposed tank, to be on the backside of chair 4, will provide water by gravity. The location "is slightly higher than the million-gallon tank" to provide added pressure the town needs.

The proposed tank will also supply water to the Navajo Ridge Region when that area develops, said Deutschlander. Homeowners questioned the financing of the proposed tank. Town Attorney Bill Ronnow explained, "The bond is from a state revolving fund. It is purchased by the state." The money is in the system, and with only a 4 percent interest over a 20-year period, the town can meet payments without a rate increase. Ronnow assured homeowners the state researches everything Awaiting carnival ST.

Johnson said he has decided not to run again for City Council because of family responsibilities and work assignments, which frequently take him out of town. His withdrawal narrows the field of candidates to five, including Evan Vickers, Alan Hamlin, Dale Brinkerhoff, Walter Mammel, and Mitch Dettamanti. Johnson said he had decided to withdraw before the recent primary elections, but left his name on the primary ballots because his decision came after the ballots were printed. Having the ballots reprinted would have incurred undue expense on the city, so Johnson said he felt it easier to take a relaxed standpoint on campaigning and then announce the withdrawal. He has served four years on council.

Mountain fire largely out CEDAR CITY A fire that began burning land on the northeast side of McFarlan Mountain last Wednesday "is pretty much out," said Anne Stan-worth, BLM public affairs officer. The blaze consumed 500 acres of land, including some forest territory. About 20 people from the BLM, U.S. Forest Service and the National Park Service fought the fire and built trenches to stop it from spreading. Stanworth said crews have left the area but will continue monitoring in case of another fire outbreak.

Hunter care with fire urged SALT LAKE CITY -Wildland fire agencies are asking deer hunters to be very careful with fire in Utah's back country, Department of Natural Resources spokesman Fran Craigle said. The fire danger is moderate to high over most of the state. "Recent warm weather with no precipitation has created dangerous fire conditions," State Forester Dick Klason warned. "In addition, because we've lost most of our seasonal firefighters, a small fire could become a large, destructive fire before we could control it," he said. The U.S.

Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and Division of State Lands and Forestry are asking hunters to be especially careful with camp-fires and cigarettes. Sparks and heat from vehicles and equipment can also start fires. "Please don't leave campfires unattended," Klason said, "and be sure your campfires are out before breaking camp." Massacre site cleanup slated CENTRAL A cleanup and maintenance project of the Mountain Meadow Massacre site on Saturday will be co-sponsored by the Washington and Iron county historical societies, said historian Morris Shirts.

For Work Or Play ettes Is The Place VM Pvk Regional Briefs SALT LAKE CITY (AP) The Utah Court of Appeals has upheld the drug trafficking conviction of a southern Utah man who claimed the trial court lacked jurisdiction and that his civil rights had been violated.

A police officer went to the home Kqnqb stages its largest 'disaster' by Barbara Pyles Spectrum correspondent KANAB A startling look at what could happen but city officials hope never occurs was carried out here recently. It was the largest mock disaster drill ever attempted in Kanab. Fortunately the simulated accident a bus loaded with children ran into a loaded tanker truck never really happened. But what could have taken place was shocking.

The simulated accident happened about 7:30 a.m. as the bus loaded with children was on the way to school. As the bus slammed into the rear of a slow-moving truck, the truck sprang a large leak of deadly arsenic fumes. Nine children were reported "killed" instantly, and many were critically injured. Kanab police, the Utah Highway Patrol and sheriffs deputies immediately evacuated everyone within a four-block area.

"Luckily this didn't really happen," said' Lynn Steffensen, state exercise training officer. "But it did let us see how our people will respond to such a mock disaster. The level of professionalism was excellent." He emphasized that the simulated drill quickly took on a sense of reality (of what could happen) to all who participated. David Owens, Kane County emergency prepardeness officer, said he was pleased with the performance. "It went real well," he said.

Sheriff Maxwell Jackson also praised the professionalism of all who participated. "They worked very well together," he said. Fire chief Mike Noteman said his people did an excellent job. "We worked the way we've been trained. It was a tremendous learning experience," the fire chief said.

Corradini tops in contributions SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -Front-runner Deedee Corradini has outspent her rival by a two-to-one margin in Salt Lake's mayoral race, according to new financial disclosure forms. And according to a Democratic Party poll, Corradini leads Dave Buhler 53 percent to 30 percent with two weeks left before the Nov. 5 general election. Seventeen percent were undecided.

Body identified as West Jordan man SALT LAKE CITY (AP) A man whose body was found in a canyon in the Oquirrh Mountains has been identified as George Ira Spor, 53, of West Jordan, the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office said. The body of Spor, who died of two gunshot wounds to the back and side, was found Saturday by a deer hunter in Butterfield Canyon.

Authorities ruled out a hunting accident and were investigating the death as a homicide. The body was found in the middle of a trail about nine miles up the canyon and 200 yards north of the main road. Sheriffs Lt. David Bishop said the man may have died several days before. The body apparently had been well-hidden in thick scrub oak and could not be seen from the road.

The hunter who found it notified a Utah Wildlife Resources officer.

Woodland sues to halt medication SALT LAKE CITY (AP) A Utah State Hospital patient who faces a murder charge if he is ever declared competent has filed suit to halt forced medication. The federal court suit filed Tuesday in behalf of Eugene Nate Woodland contends the drugs are dangerous, mood-changing and an invasion of privacy and human integrity in violation of the right of due process. The suit was filed by Mary A. Rudolph of the Legal Center for People with Disibilities.

She said the hospital began forcibly medicating Woodland Friday after rejecting an appeal of the hospital's decision Thursday. That decision had reversed an earlier decision not to forcibly medicate the defendant. Woodland who has called forced medication a form of "chemical lobotomy" was given lithium carbonate, a mood stabilizer, and Serentil, an antipsychotic drug, Rudolph said. The suit, naming state Social Services and hospital officials, contends both medications can have deadly side effects. Water plentiful, distribution SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -Salt Lake, Davis, Weber and Box Elder counties appear to have sufficient resources to meet drinking and industrial water needs through the year 2025, a report prepared by the Utah Division of Water Resources says.

But D. Larry Anderson, division director, told the Bear River Task Force Monday the report is misleading because existing distribution problems are not adequately addressed in the overall picture. He said a good example of the problem is in Box Elder County, where Brigham City has easy access to the available surplus PI I I f- mm A St. George 425 West 200 North 628-3789 10 am to 6 pm Monday through Saturday, Closed Sunday.
