The float draws cheers from the big Main Street crowd. A Utah fireman died Thursday when his red Ford pickup truck launched off a cliff and submerged into about 50 feet of water at Deer Creek reservoir around 10 a.m. The death of Saratoga Springs Fire Chief Michael Penovich, 38, helped cap a mid-week July 4 holiday that also saw several motorists injured on Summit County roadways. Investigators do not know what caused Penovich to abruptly swerve off southbound State Road 189 near the mouth of Provo Canyon. The fireman was wearing a seat belt when he went through 87 feet of gravel without braking before driving of the roughly 100foot cliff in Wasatch County, Utah Highway Patrol Lt. Randall Richey said. "He impacted with the side of the embankment and then went into the water," explained Richey. Penovich was traveling toward Provo in his fire department vehicle after attending a meeting in Heber. Meanwhile, Peoa resident Nathan Haymore, who is in his 20s, was in critical condition in the intensive care unit at LDS Hospital after crashing a Mazda sports car at around 3 a.m. on July 4. Haymore was traveling in Oakley on State Road 32 toward his home in Peoa when.his-vehicle left the roadway, said Terry Davis, a spokeswoman for South Summit Ambulance. "He is in very bad shape," Davis said, adding that Haymore was flown in a medical helicopter to LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City. Haymore was ejected from the car, which stopped at least 100 feet from his body, Richey said. "I think he hit a concrete irrigationditch abutment," Davis explained. "[Haymore] was thrown out, but his car continued quite a ways after he was thrown out." Investigators blamed excessive speed for causing the crash. "He wasn't able to negotiate the turn and wasn't restrained in the vehicle, and got ejected," Richey said. "It rolled over multiple times." The recent string of violent traffic crashes on the Wasatch Back began June 30 when a 61-year-old man driving a Pontiac Grand Prix struck an elk on U.S. 40 near Strawberry reservoir in Wasatch County. The man died in the hospital about 48 hours later, Richey said. "They hit an elk and the pillar of the [car] they were driving decapitated the elk and the elk head came through the windshield," Richey said, adding that the elk head hit the male driver in the face before his 56-year-old wife grabbed the wheel. "He was knocked unconscious immediately and [his] wife had to grab the steering wheel and reach her foot over the center console to hit the brakes to get the car over to the side of the road." In a separate crash that occurred near Francis on July 3 a man and teenaged boy were airlifted to hospitals after a Dodge pickup truck struck a Chevrolet Cavalier nearly head on near Foothill Boulevard on State Road 35. "We dont suspect alcohol or drugs," Richey said, adding that the South Please see Two, A-2 Growth issues salt East Side political contests New councilors could face big subdivision proposals By PATRICK PARKINSON Of the Record staff Campaigns in eastern Summit County began Monday as councilors in five East Side cities ponder whether they'll run again in November. It's unclear what sort of campaigns will emerge in 2007 because only a few candidates in eastern Summit County had filed on Friday. On Nov. 6, voters in Francis, Kamas, Oakley, Coalville and Henefer will elect city councilors. People must file campaign papers with City Hall between July 2 and 16. A building moratorium currently in effect in Francis means new councilors must likely maneuver complicated zoning matters. The moratorium bans development until officials can increase the capacity of the sewer system in Francis. Council seats in Francis held by Dusty Hatch, Rex Hallam and Greg Averett are on the ballot. But no candidates had declared their candidacy in the South Summit town on Friday. In Kamas, the East Side's largest city with a population of roughly 1,500, incumbent City Councilors KevanTodd and Dan Littledyke will each run again. The seats' held by Todd, Littledyke and Emmitt McNeil are on the ballot. This week, McNeil had not filed for another term. "I don't see any issues that are significant that are not related to growth," Kamas Mayor Lew Marchant said about the campaign. The next council must maintain the city's general plan and development code, Marchant said. "We're having growth in our city right now and some we've encouraged and some just happens naturally," the mayor said. "I think that's a critical thing." Meanwhile, no candidates had filed Friday in Coalville where council seats held by Joan Judd, Brent Scholes and Steven Richins are on the ballot. In the daytime heat, golf sprinklers firing With its own water, country club doesn't have to follow rules By JAY HAMBURGER Of the Record staff Parkites who turn on their sprinklers during the baking daytime hours risk a ticket from City Hall. The Park Meadows Country Club, though, is not worried about the local government's enforcers. Crews at the golf course there are allowed to run the huge sprinklers whenever they want and keep them on for as long as they desire. Early in the week, the sprinklers were seen shooting water onto the course during the midday heat. The city's Public Works Department and an official at the golf course say Park Meadows, the only privately held course in the city, has its own water supply and it does not tap City Hall's pipes. Because the golf course keeps its own water, it is not made to follow the strict sprinkling rules required of Parkites and businesses. "The important part is we're more effective with our water," says John Haynes, the superintendent of the course. He explains the automated system had not been working early in the week. To catch up, he says, the course turned the sprinklers on during the day. They were on for a bit on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The week before, the sprinklers were on during the day a few times, he says. Haynes says the daytime sprinklers target the fairways, tee areas and greens. He claims it is better to water during the day. In the sunlight, he says, the crews are more confident they are watering the right spots. "Watering aimlessly in the night is worse than watering site-specifically," Haynes says. Hot temperatures and dry weather continue to grip Utah, with temperatures in the Park City area reaching into the 90s this week. Parkites are using most of City Hall's daily water supply, with the Please see Course, A-2 "I really havent made a final decision," Scholes said Friday. Richins also had not decided to run when reached this week. Probably the biggest issue Coalville will face in the next four years is growth, Richins said in a telephone interview. "I think a lot of [citizens] would want it, but not real fast," Richins said referring to a roughly 300-home subdivision proposed in the northeast part of Coalville. "We dont want everything just boom, boom, boom, as fast it can go. We need to sit down and see what it's going to do to the community and how it's going to affect us." How commercial development should occur in downtown Coalville where planners have proposed a historic district will be an "emotional" debate in the future, explained Scholes. "We have had a lot of public comment, which is good," Scholes said. A large subdivision proposed by developer Ian Cumming in the Allen Hollow area of Coalville could e merge as the polarizing issue of this year's campaign.
