mining town As Congress debates President political future political pundits continue to send us proof that many careers ended following inappropriate behavior In The Book of Political Lists is a compilation of sex scandals that ended political careers Featured with the likes of Wilbur Mills Gary Hart John Tower and Bob Packwood are two Utahns: Allan Turner Howe a Democrat representing the 2nd

50-mile strip of Interstate 15 in remote southwestern Utah St George's Dixie College and Cedar Southern Utah University have enjoyed a mostly cordial cooperative relationship since the beginning of the century But an ugly squabble over state funding and course offerings is about to spill into the 1999 Legislature and one angry lawmaker is calling for Dixie to become fifth four-year college despite concerns from the state Board of Regents The fight could show a crack in the foundation upon which nine public colleges and universities have operated for the Fast three decades The governor-appointed Board of Regents established in 1969 oversees all state colleges The idea behind a single board for all the schools is to ensure systemwide cooperation in program offerings and to smooth over skirmishes that are inherent among institutions that compete for students and state funds But if Rep Bill Hickman R-St George has his way the Legislature will bypass the regents and dictate a change that would allow Dixie to offer baccalaureate degrees something SUU already does He said the move is necessary because the regents have not responded to the growing needs of St George Board of Regents tends to be obstructive and Hickman charged more interested in preserving the institutions and their turf than they are in serving the citizens of the Higher Education Commissioner Cecelia Foxley is circumspect about the plan to put two four-year colleges in an area that holds only a sliver of Utah's population you say there is a need to have two four-year institutions to serve 11 percent of the population of Foxley asked adding that the regents are working on a systemwide master plan to address the entire higher education needs existing public four-year colleges are located in Cedar City Orem Salt Lake City and Logan Foxley did not rule out the possibility St George ANN JOHNSON SPECIAL TO THE TRIBUNE When Park City fell on hard times following World War II most of the

much the same as it was 50 years Compton said protected a quiet peaceful place in the middle of Inscriptions still legible on the headstones tell the tale of death that came to many at too young an

reasons that is the charge to tour the Salt Lake City construction site where the gym once stood The city also is touting its Lincoln Town Homes a 24-home development under construction in the neighborhood as a positive step Officials believe the homes selling for $80000 and $90000 to qualified buyers earning 80 percent of the Wasatch Front's median income will offer stability And the city is installing a park next to the soon-to-be renovated Washington High School in hopes of giving the area a better gathering place But residents believe more is needed Neil Hansen said he and his neighbors have found it impossible to get an absentee landlord to fix a dilapidated rental property started calling him at 3 in the Hansen said eventually he moved to and he did not repair the of 15 people to attend the first planning session He lives in the neighborhood and inherited rental properties from his grandparents but now would just as soon tear down the homes as fix them It is impossible to charge $600 rent in a neighborhood characterized by drug dealing and transients and that kind of money would be necessary to make cosmetic repairs in addition to routine maintenance

The planning staff then will analyze the goals and present a cost estimate to the City Council Ogden has secured a $2 million federal grant for its Community Economic Development Initiative which officials intend to divide among home renovations affordable-housing construction and improvements such as street lights traffic signals and trees Most participants in last week's meetings were Ogden residents though many did not live in the affected neighborhood Their ideas included tearing down abandoned homes to create neighborhood parks and giving small businesses financial incentives to move back into the boarded-up store fronts They also suggested that neighbors smile and wave at police officers who drive through the neighborhood so they will feel comfortable returning often Ogden neighborhood-development director Aaron Wolfe-Bertling said the grant money cannot be used to attract businesses but the participation in the national enterprise-zone program may give Jefferson some leverage if residents decide jobs and services are a top priority OGDEN The Jefferson neighborhood just south of downtown Ogden is conspicuous by its absence Once-busy corner shops and professional services are vacant The nearest grocery store is almost two miles from most neighborhood homes The street lights are few and some residents say police officers are fewer Absentee landlords pay little attention to their low-rent apartments and homes Jefferson is an area that shone during this railroading heyday but fell into disrepair during the past 20 years And until last week when city leaders started a series of brainstorming sessions to revive Jefferson and other downtrodden parts of Ogden the neighborhood also had fallen into anonymity want it to swing back with community cohesiveness
