Show Tuesday, October oumva Says I mission sesvs MAYOR: Election (Continued from Page 1) receiving from the Republican Party will have some effect on the mayor's campaign, Ferguson said. He said he had never spent more than $6,000 on a mavoral campaign, but in order to compete with Jenkins, he will probably have to spend more, "It's just g the amount they are already spend' ing, he said. He plans to'continue looking for financial support from citizens and groups and not to involve himself with a network (like a party). By statute, Utah municipal elections in first- - and second-clas- s cities must be said Karl Snow, a former state legislator and political science professor at Brigham Young University. He said that Salt Lake is the only i'irst-clas- s city in the state and Provo is a second-clas- s city. In recent years people have tried to identify the candidates in some municipal elections with one party or the other, Snow said. In his more than 35 years of following municipal elections in Provo, however, he said, he doesn't remember a time when the attempt to identify the candidates on a partisan basis has been so mind-bogglin- - ' great. Greg McDonough, State Republican Party chairman, said the fact that the party felt it was necessary to donate money to Jenkins' campaign "doesn't make the election partisan." . n elections officially mean the candidates won't be listed as a Republican or Democrat on the election ballot, he said. Jenkins said although the mayoral race is the candidates are definitely partisan. "It's well-know- n ican," he said. that Jim I'm "It's a Republalso known is a Democrat." He is known as a Republican because he has been a Republican legislator from the Provo area, Jenkins said. In addition, he and others from the Republican Party said Ferguson is responsible for increasing the partisan aspect of the mayoral race by making himself known as a Democrat. They said when Ferguson office stepped out of a to run on the Democratic ticket for lieutenant governor two years ago, he brought out the fact that he is a Democrat. "That added to the partisanship of the race," Jenkins said. "He ran a partisan campaign for lieutenant governor. He said he's a Democrat and ran as a Democrat." That election also had something to do with Bangerter supporting Jenkins, Hansen said. "Which of the two candidates (for mayor) supported Bangerter for governor in the last election?" Jenkins said Ferguson is a typical type of Democrat who wants the "government to be all things for all people" and raises taxes to provide services people should learn to provide for themselves. Jenkins said his philosophy and Ferguson's philosophy are diametrically opposed, and that his philosophy as a Republican would allow him to work better with the governor, representatives in the legislature and Utah's Congressional representatives, most of whom are Republicans. "Those people who are philosophically aligned work better together," he said. It surprised Ferguson that Jenkins said he was a liberal Democrat. "I'm more conservative than most Democrats and even some Republicans," Ferguson said. Ferguson said although he was more liberal than his opponent. n most people in the community are more liberal than Jenkins. He said he has never hidden the fact he was a Democrat, but it hasn't made any difference because his views are the same as most Provo residents' views. "We're such a homogeneous community," he said. Jenkins said the money he received from the National Republican Committee indicates that national leaders are concerned about Democratic mayors who, in their national conventions, pass resolutions to fight tax reform like President Reagan's tax plan. Ferguson said he doesn't always fight against Reagan and his tax plan. In fact, he said, the National Republican Mayor's Association sends him its monthly materials because the leaders think he's Republican. "I've supported many of Reagan's policies even against the Democrats," Ferguson said. He said that although he didn't vote for Reagan's complete tax program, he did agree with many parts of the package The Utah League of Cities and Towns unanimously supported the same ideas he expressed on the pian. Ferguson said, adding that members of the league are not liberals. In addition, he said, he took "a lot of heat from the Democrats'' for being one of 12 mayors who was chosen to participate in Reagan's Urban Advisory Tax Force when Reagan was first elected. Snow said he does not think the emphasis on the partisan aspect in the mayoral race will have much effect on the local election. People are generally more concerned in municipal election with the basic services provided by the city than with partisan philosophies, he said. Results of a recent David Magle-b- y poll done for Ferguson's campaign also showed that Provo's voters are not interested in having a partisan municipal election. Of those surveyed, 67 percent thought it was important that the municipal elections remain non- partisan, 19 percent thought it wasn't very important and the rest didn't know the elections were non- partisan. The poll also indicated that only 41 percent of the registered voters knew the mayor was a Democrat, 21 percent believed he was a Re- publican and 34 percent didn't know what he was. In addition, of those questioned, 13 percent said they'd be more likely to vote for Ferguson if he had run for lieutenant governor as a Democrat, 6 percent said they'd be less likely to vote for him and 79 percent said it wouldn't make any difference. Ferguson said voters in Provo have always felt good about voting for the man and not the party. "We have an intelligent electorate." he said. "I just have to trust them to vote for the individual." He said he is confident that Provo's citizens will judge the candidates on the issues, not the party. And, he added, "When you look at the total package ... Provo stacks up favorably against other cities." said that, in the end, the results of the election will come down to the issues and not the candidate's party affiliation. "That's why we've (the Republican Party) taken a quiet stand and are not actively doing anything in the campaign," he said. Horitichi said he hopes that the people of Provo will support Ferguson if they think he's done a good job and will vote against him McDonough if not. INSURANCE: Orem (Continued From Page 1) Spanish Fork can expect to pay approximately $47,000 into the fund for its insurance coverage. Orem was originally quoted a figure of $326,000 for $500,000 coverage by its original insurer. The city refused to pay it. the risk management association cost of $256,000 to Orem is still high compared to last year's premium of $79,000, but it gives the city $1 million coverage. The high prerr.ium is needed to build up the pool, according to McEuen. - Formation of the new association means Orem weathered three months with no coverage. Any costly suit filed against the city now would be in litigation for several years, according to McEuen. The pool will have several million dollars in it by that time, providing more than adequate coverage. The remaining question Jordan are voting on the insurance tonight, and approximately 80 other cities in Utah are interested and have requested applications to the association.

By JACKSON Herald Staff Writer Utah County's attorney says the county has taken all of the legal steps to order emission testing tor vehicles, but state officials insist that a reluctant county commission vote a second time to put an official seal on the controversial plan. The program requires all vehicles being registered in the county to be tested for pollution emissions. Similiar programs are already in place in Davis and Salt Lake counties. "I don't think we've embraced it, but we've submitted to it." Commission Chairman Gary Anderson said at commission meeting a "We want .o accept it as least cooperatively as we can." The county leaders have noted e that while levels are usually within standards, the Monday. carbon-monoxid- county is being forced to submit to the emission control program simply because carbon monoxide levels slip beyond standards a each year. State officials convinced county commissioners they had no option but to adopt a resolution authorizing the county health department to draw up rules for an emission testing program last June. few-day- s But, they did so after the following language was included in the directive: "While Utah County expresses reservations that the benefits of a program will outweigh the inconvenience and burdens imposed by said program on the citizens of the county, it does recognize that the failure to adopt a program may result in the imposition of a construction moratorium, highway funding limitations and limitations of federal financing on major public works projects." The health department and the state then drew up tentative rules to govern the testing and took them to public hearings in Spanish Fork, American Fork and Provo. The health department has made some changes in the rules and has now set them for final adoption. The board of directors of the health department approved those rules last week. - Page 3 ment, it took a vote of the Davis County Commissioners. Lynn Davis, deputy Utah County attorney, notes the Utah Attorney General's Office has advised that the emissions testing program be done both by authority of the county health department and by the county commission. Since there is soubt about which authority is needed the state is asking that "both bases be covered. The county commissioners balked Monday when told they may have to adopt the rules by ordinance. Anderson suggested that if they are forced to approve the program, they should do it with another clause indicating the commission has reservations about its effectiveness. Davis and the state attorney general's office are still trying to determine if the ordinance will be necessary. "It is my opinion that we have covered all the bases with what we have done to this point in time." Davis savs. Health department approval was all it took for a similar testing program to become law in Salt Lake County, but Utah County officials are being told the county commission must give the final word. It seems there are several laws giving authority for testing progra-ma- . Salt Lake County did it under laws that charge health departments with regulating public health. Davis County, on the other hand, took its authority to install its program from the Motor Vehicle Act of 1983. Since that law designates the county as having the authority, not the health depart xSerious' in Mishap Motorcyclist - A ACCIDENT vo motorcyclist is in serious tion in Utah Valley Regional cal Center following a three-vehicl- Pro- condiMedie accident Monday evening around 5 p.m. Orem police say motorcyclist Robert A.

JACKSON Herald Staff Writer Thanks for braving the rain, skipping sleep and rescuing two Boy Scouts, Wilford Tolman, chairman of the Provo Cascade District of the Boy Scouts of America, said Monday. Tolman presented a plaque of appreciation to Chuck Edmonds, commander of the Utah County Jeep Patrol. The Utah County Sheriff's Department, Rocky Mountain Search Dogs and the U.S. Air Force thanked along with the Jeep Patrol. They combined to locate Anthony Pia and Mason Miner on a mountain side east of Provo's nt Tea. "Sometimes things ought to be said that aren't said," Tolman noted, indicating thanks was in order. Miner, son of Odell and Dorothy Miner, and Pia, son of Stephan and Pamela Pia, were on a camp trip Sept. 6 when they decided to go hiking. Tolman noted they made three correct decisions: they told their leaders which direction they were going, they hopped out of their shorts and into longer pants and they grabbed canteens. Trouble is, they decided to extend their hike. Instead of staying out about one hour, they were tempted to go to the top of the summit. Night set in as they ncared the top. They made another right decision in choosing to hole up for the night instead of making their way back in the dark, Tolman said. Our Best Rates Come midnight, the Utah County Jeep Patrol was called in. Al- though one Scout leader warned them the terrain was too "brutal" for the men to be searching at night, the rescuers went in and located the youth. "In this case death was cheated." Tolman said. He noted the Boy Scouts lose five Scouts per year to drownings, automobile accidents, falling rocks, etc. "Our call outs vary from sadness to happiness. This one was a happiness," Edmonds noted, accepting the plaque. The presentation was made at a Utah County Commission meeting. Commission chairman Gary Anderson noted Jeep Patrol operates with "state of the arts" equipment supplied as the volunteers pay for it t of their own pockets. The Jeep Patrol operates as a volunteer auxiliary of the Utah County Sheriff's Department and is subject to Deputy Sheriff Vernon Harrington.
