May 19th-21st The Inn at Prospector Square Registration Information 435-640 1294 Retardant used to becomes dangerous PROVO, Utah (AP) A red-tinted red-tinted fire retardant commonly used in Utah may be killing local fish and frogs, according to a recent U.S. Geological Survey. A corrosion inhibitor in the product produces trace amounts of cyanide and becomes toxic as it decomposes, according to the study conducted by the Columbia Environmental Research Center. As a result, federal wildland fire management agencies have fight fires in Utah as it decomposes suspended the use of certain mixtures mix-tures of the retardant. Bret Ruby, zone fire management manage-ment officer for the Uinta National Forest, said the mixture used in Utah County to help suppress sup-press wildfires is one of those identified as problematic. "We've used it on fires here," Ruby said, particularly on larger fires that could threaten businesses busi-nesses or homes, like the fire that burned near the Trojan Corp. plant in Spanish Fork in 1995. Levels of cyanide in the mixture mix-ture exceed U.S. Environmental Protection Agency guidelines and are considered high enough to hurt fish and other aquatic life, but not high enough to pose a danger to humans. Alice Forbes of the National Interagency Fire Center said officials offi-cials had no reason to doubt their use of the substance until the report was released last month. "It has been federal policy and practice to avoid dropping retar-dants retar-dants in or near water," she said. "This is a prudent decision given our concern for aquatic habitat and species. Any accidental release needs to be avoided." The retardants sre mainly, used on ridges and slopes to slow the fire's spread and buy time for firefighters as they build control lines. Rivers, lakes and streams! serve as "anchor points" for fire-; lines and serve as natural barriers ; against the fires. ; The agencies involved plan to ' test areas where retardant was dropped during the 1999 fire sea- ; son to see if any effects can be measured. J Romney assessing post-Olympic political options SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Olympic organizer Mitt Romney may run for governor of Massachusetts after the 2002 Winter Games. Romney, who left Boston 14 months ago to take over the Salt Lake Organizing Committee, confirmed Tuesday that he was considering a race for governor. It could depend on the success of the games and the political timing in Massachusetts, where the state's top Republicans, including Gov. Paul Cellucci, are embroiled in controversy or scandal. scan-dal. "I would not shy away from another political race," said Romney. who gave Sen. Edward Kennedy a scare in 1994. "On the other hand, the polit ical landscape has to be right. I'm not running against the Republican incumbent and I'm not going to run a no-win race where the chances of victory are remote. "So that being the case, I can't say it's very likely I'm going to run again, even though I would be very open to it, would seriously serious-ly consider it - if the chance were Inere's always and on you someone waiting for you at the amenity rick Ckateaux. 1 efgr ivT fin ir: o i 3 rrrtT W . mil "tif ... .. lwi' h-i : i 0 .::x. r s . ... i i 3 -A urn ' .

Another rising Republican star, Peter Blute, head of Massachusetts Port Authority, resigned last year after being photographed on a taxpayer-funded taxpayer-funded cruise on Boston Harbor with liquor and scantily clad women. Republican Lt. Gov. Jane Swift also has been ul the center of controversy, in January, she had to apologize for enlisting staffers to baby-sit and for using a state helicopter for personal use. Romney said Republicans don't always fare well in Massachusetts, where just 13 percent per-cent of registered voters are Republican. "We currently have a Republican governor. 1 would not run against him. We have two Democratic senators who are! pietty well entrenched at this point. I'd have to give that (challenge) (chal-lenge) serious pause." "Time will tell," he said. i . , Romney plans t consider his business and political prospects' after the 2002 Games, when he will return to Boston, his home for 30 years. He also keeps a condominium in Park City, Utah. Romney was running Bain Capital Inc., making his mark by reviving troubled companies such as Domino's pizza and Staples office supplies, when he was tapped to take over the scandal-plagued scandal-plagued Olympic Games here. He had' ties to Utah as a Mormon, the state's predominate faith. Romney officially became a Utah resident last year, when he divided his time spent in both states and discovered he spent 6 months and five days in Utah, meaning he had to file Utah: income taxes for 1999.
