The request made this month is the latest attempt by the Sierra Club and the Boulder Mountain Wilderness Committee to halt the Jacob-Swaproject. Their earlier appeal was rejected. Dixie Naaonal Forest officials plan to remove 6.000 acres of conifer and aspen trees on the densely forested southwest slope of Boulder Mountain, about 175 miles south of here. Following the rejection of their environmental appeal, the groups were preparing a lawsuit when a Mexican spotted owl was said to have been located in the area last month, said Mark le ro Clemens of the Sierra Club's Utah Boulder Mountain.

The proposals to bring Logan's alcohol ordinances inio compliance with ihe slate's code packed the council's chambers Wednesday night. When available seats were filled, citizens sat on the floor or crowded inio the hallways waiting for their chance to speak. At one point, a show of hands revealed the audience was about evenly divided on the issue. Proposed changes being considered include: Reducing the number of tavern licenses. Creating a new license designed for restaurants that want to serve beer. limiting the number of restaurants and private clubs that serve liquor based on population statistics rather than on the number of beer licenses in use. Creatine a new license for "At best, some of our liquor laws in Logan are ancient and need to be revised." Mike Norton misTobreweries. Possible Sunday beer sales. Opponents contend that liberalizing Logan's alcohol laws would be a danger to the community. Local doctor Doug Hyldahl dismissed the term "responsible drinking" as a misnomer. People wto use liquor as an escape "need care, love and compassion, not alcohol." he said, adding that "alcohol is tSie wrong ingredient in our cornrounity." Claudia Bracken said the alcohol industry should be held accountable for any increased costs related to looser liquor restrictions, not taxpayers. Mike Norton insisted it was time to modernize Logan's alcohol ordinances. "At best, some of our liquor law s in Logan are ancient and need to be rev ised," he said. Norton aid while he is member of the Mormon Church, which bars members from drinking alcohol, be still sees opposition to Srnday beer sales as an attempt by the majority to impose its religious beliefs. "If it (drinking) bothers you, don't do it" Norton said. The council scheduled a Nov. 13 workshop to further discuss the proposals, and expects to vote on them a week later.
