Two suspects sus-pects were taken into custody and charged with murder and assault, police said Sunday. U.S. Ski Team officials expressed sadness and regret at the incident, calling Gillette "one of the pioneers of the modern era of outdoor out-door adventures around the globe." U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association president and CEO Bill Marolt said, "Ned was one of the best skiers in the USA in the " late '60s and he helped boost the awareness of cross-country skiing with his excursions from Greenland to Mt. Everest, this is such a senseless sense-less tragedy. And Susie, of course, is also part of the Ski Team 'family' and we send our sympathies and prayers to both of their families." Report reveals Utah has 17th most dangerous streets in the nation SALT LAKE CITY (AP) The Salt Lake-Ogden region has the 17th most dangerous streets for pedestrians, according to a new study. That is an improvement over the previous 10-year-aver-age, where Salt Lake ranked 13th in the nation. However, the most recent "Mean Streets" report is based on 1996 data, meaning it does not reflect the effects of the Interstate 15 reconstruction that began in April 1997. That, say local police, has made the area's mean streets significantly meaner. The report was prepared by the Surface Transportation Policy Project, a coalition of mostly environmental groups that contend con-tend too little transportation money is spent on pedestrian protection. pro-tection. In 1996, 81 pedestrians were killed or critically injured in the Salt Lake-Ogden area, the report said. The previous report said a study from 1986 to .1995 shows an ri trl I !B2 iiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilHIIIIIIIIIIIII w v, Jrr i f Htm mini n mn m i n Gillette and Patterson, married several years ago, lived in Sun Valley, Idaho. They reportedly were on assignment as they trekked through the disputed northern Kashmir region between India and Pakistan. Authorities said robbery apparently appar-ently was the motive for the attack, which took place while the two former for-mer American Olympic skiers were sleeping in their tent. Gillette was shot to death last Wednesday while Patterson was wounded; she was treated at a hospital in Gilgit, about 120 miles north of Islamabad, Pakistan's capital: Police, assisted by local villagers in the mountainous mountain-ous region, uncovered a shotgun believed used in the attack; the suspects sus-pects reportedly panicked and stole nothing from the two Americans. Gillette, 53, grew up in Vermont before attending Dartmouth College. After his racing rac-ing career was over, he embarked on what helped pave the way for average of 28 fatalities annually. The number of critical injuries was not included, making a comparison com-parison difficult, but the state moved down four spots in the rankings. It may be a temporary dip. "We've had a 200 percent increase in traffic on some streets" since construction began, said Salt Lake Police Lt. Phil Kirk. According to the Utah Highway Safety Office, there were 17 fatalities involving cars and either pedestrians or bicycles in Salt Lake County in 1996 and 24 in 1997. Through July of 1998 there had been 18 fatalities, compared to 15 for the same period last year. In West Valley, police Detective Armand Casanova said congestion conges-tion has made drivers impatient a dangerous combination. "Autos and pedestrians don't mix. The loser is going to be the pedestrian always," he said. "And we can protect ourselves as pedestrians: Stay away from dark areas, go into lighted areas if you Utah Independent Party calls for repeal of food tax submitted by the Utah Independent American Party The Utah Independent American Party (IAP), on behalf of the people of the State of Utah, has launched a petition drive in an appeal to the governor gover-nor and the Legislature of the state of Utah to repeal the sales tax on food. This is not a ballot initiative, but a direct appeal to the governor and representatives of the people. Recent news reports reveal that a family earning $15,000 a year spends 20 percent of its income on food with about $215 of that on sales tax. A family earning $150,000 a year spends four percent of it's income on food with about $393 of that on sales tax. Utah's revenue surpluses surplus-es over seven years total $448.5 million, according to the Deseret DEER VALLEY" i today's boom in adventure vacations. vaca-tions. He organized excursions to ski across Canada's Ellesmere Island and Greenland; he circumnavigated circum-navigated mt. Everest on skis; he. rowed with three colleagues from southernmost South America to Antarctica; he and a colleague, renowned outdoor photographer Galen Rowell, were the first two to scale Alaska's Mt. McKinley in a day; and gillette and Patterson followed the 6,000-mile Silk Road from China to the Mediterranean several years ago. While her husband was a top nordic racer, Patterson, 42, was an outstanding alpine skier in the '70s. She won the 1974 U.S. slalom championship and the national downhill title in '76, the year she was 14th in the Olympics. A U.S. Embassy spokesman in Islamabad said Patterson wished her husband's body to be cremated in Pakistan. Further details were pending. are going to walk anywhere, cross at crosswalks, these kind of things." The study also said Utah is the 14th most dangerous state for child pedestrians, with an average annual child pedestrian death rate of 3.94 per 100,000 population. popula-tion. The safety group said the worst metro area in America was Orlando, Fla., which had a danger index of 95 on a'100-point scale. The next two on the list were also in Florida Tampa-St. Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater and Miami-Fort Lauderdale. Salt Lake-Ogden had a rating of 43. The study said 5,157 pedestrians pedestri-ans were killed on the nation's streets in 1996 which is more "than headline-grabbing causes of death such as random gun violence, vio-lence, airbags or the e-coli bacteria." bacte-ria." The group said building safer sidewalks, slowing down neighborhood traffic, focusing on problem areas and developing pedestrian master plans could reduce pedestrian fatalities. News. ' Bruce Bangerter, the party's state executive director, said, "The Utah IAP feels it is incomprehensible incom-prehensible that low-income families fam-ilies should have to pay on food sales tax a percent of their income that is five-and-a-half times higher than the percent of income paid by upper-income families and yet spend only half as much per family on food. This is especially so in light of the seven-year revenue surplus of nearly one-half billion dollars. "The Utah IAP hopes to gain many thousands of petition signatures signa-tures by the end of the year and submit them to the governor and Legislature in time for consideration considera-tion and action in the 1999 legislative leg-islative session."
