says km" She has been homeless since May 1988 and has tried to meet with him for the past four years she claims She won't anytime soon said Francine Giani press secretary for Gov Bangerter "We won't meet with her for five minutes" Ms Giani said Monday "The governor has met with homeless leaders and Nina is not a representative of that group" Homeless Salt Lake City woman Nina Diane Mincarelli has tried everything from news conferences to twice vandalizing the state Capitol to get 10 minutes with Gov Norm Bangerter Now she's taking him to court Ms Mincarelli filed suit in 3rd District Court

Utah and are not expected to deteriorate for several days By Ann Poore THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE In August Ballet West's John Hart told two Soviet dancers he brought to Utah their dancing wasn't up to par Nine weeks into their season contract Mr Hart sent Anatoli Kucheruk and Marina Nudga packing On Monday Mr Hart recognized Mr Kucheruk's "technical virtuosity" and paid respect to the artistic talents of the dancer and his partner The Soviets also received an undisclosed financial settlement from Ballet West after threatening to sue for breach of contract In a press release signed by both parties Mr Hart expressed regret "that differences in artistic needs" precluded the dancers remaining with the company Mr Kucheruk said through an interpreter Monday night that he and Miss Nudga are satisfied with the agreement "We are satisfied that it is done this bad thing has come to an end and we can go on with our art without any trouble" Attorney Patricia O'Rorke who represented the dancers said she was pleased with the settlement "It's shameful for a publicly supported institution to induce these artistic performers to come to Salt Lake City and then leave them stranded We're happy to have been able to resolve it for them" The firm of Berman O'Rorke handled the case free of charge There have been inquiries about the rights to the Soviet dancers' story for a book or movie the lawyer said Mr Kucheruk and Miss Nudga performed for many years with the renowned Bolshoi Ballet and Kiev Ballet before joining Ballet By Christopher Smart THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE If you don't pay your rent on time in Salt Lake City you could be sentenced to six months in jail and a $1000 fine if the City Council passes a proposed ordinance Tuesday The measure comes on the heels of a watershed act that gives people who rent their dwellings specific rights for the first time in Utah The Fit Premises Ordinance was approved last week by the City Council over the objections of property owners and landlord organizations Proponents and opponents agree the proposed ordinance cannot be enforced uniformly It appears as a bone the council is now throwing to landlords in the wake of its action last week A proponent for tenants Steve Erickson said the act is reminiscent of "debtor's prison" "It is unenforceable and unworkable But it will terrify tenants unnecessarily who are in the position of being unable to make their payment on one particular month" said Mr Erickson The City Council has not given the measure adequate discussion or allowed public comment on it Mr Erickson said But City Councilman Ronald Whitehead said renters must know they are accountable under the law "It is robbery if you don't pay your rent I think the public will support this 100 percent" If tenants do not pay their landlord the landlord in turn cannot meet his financial obligations Mr Whitehead said "Landlords are not in the welfare business" he said Prkt PLCloudy 4922 Delta Fair 5218

"as close to the medical profession as possible" Most important for all these families and patients is to know somebody cares about them Mrs Scheidell says And she does care she is at the hospital three to four days a week but it's not unusual for her to drop in at odd times just to check on some of the families "People often just need a hand to hold or a shoulder to cry on" Yesterday's Weather

power if necessary to kill a proposed crime bill saying it would allow condemned triple-killer William Andrews to perpetuate his case In a Nov 15 letter Mr Van Dam urges the president to veto any legislation containing the habeas corpus provisions in HR 3371 One of the provisions recently passed by the House he said would effectively repeal the non-retroactivity doctrine of US Supreme Court cases "thereby undermining finality of judgment and increasing re-litigation and delay" Without the doctrine the attorney general said Andrews would be able to perpetuate his case under federal habeas corpus law which is used to test the constitutionality of a state criminal conviction Convicted of three counts of first-degree murder in the 1974 torture murder of three people in Ogden Andrews has been on death row at the Utah State Prison for 17 years longer than any other person in the United States "We need legislation which will provide true habeas corpus reform and which will promote finality of judgment and the concepts of federalism and comity" Mr Van Dam wrote Although the Senate rejected a measure he contends would undermine the non-retroactivity doctrine the House of Representatives recently passed its version of the crime bill including the habeas corpus provisions Conferees are attempting to fashion a bill suitable to both chambers Mr Van Dam opted not to join 33 other attorneys general in a letter to President Bush said Utah Solicitor General Jan Graham That letter characterized any measure containing the habeas corpus provisions as one favoring criminals
