"The essence of the community spirit will be destroved ultimately." he added, concerned that banning of outdoor music would merely be the tirst step in quelling community and artistic expiession.

Foster's troop was playing a game called "Capture the Flag" when Foster apparently grabbed the flag and ran into the forest Monday afternoon. Foster's troop leader waited until the next morning before hiking out to tell authorities in the apparent hope that the boy would find his way back to camp. The troop leader reached the trailhead about 1 p.m. on July 4. Authorities launched a search a short time later. Search and rescue teams from Summit. Wasatch and Duchesne counties participated in the search. Helicopters from AirMed and LifetlighT looked front the air. At one point. 10 people on horseback, five dog teams were assisting the Summit County Search and Rescue.

County Sales Tax for Culture and Recreation Summit County Commissioner Pat Cone addressed the County Sales Tax Initiative (or Culture i Recreation, a one-tenth of one-percent one-percent sales tax for arts and recreation. recre-ation. According to Cone, if approved by a referendum, the tax would be split between the arts (55 percent) and recreation (45 percent). per-cent). There is some concern that the east, and w est sides of the county coun-ty have different agendas and needs. "We need to start looking at this place as one unit." commented Cone. On July 17. a public meeting meet-ing will be held to discuss the proposed pro-posed tax. The meeting will take place in the Kamas County Building at r p.m. to camp in the High I'intas Wilderness Area near Rainbow Lake. The camp was in a remote and isolated area, according to Snyder. It took search teams about 5 hours by horseback to reach the camp. Since the search was concentrated concen-trated in a designated wilderness area, search teams had to look bv foot and horseback. Motorized vehicles are not allowed in wilderness areas. Officials had to get special permission to use a helicopter to fly the boy out after he came back to camp. The troop leader's decision to wait until the next morning to hike out is a "double-edged sword" said Snyder. People often find their way-back way-back to camp fairly quickly, said Snyder, and mounting a search early can often be i "waste of resources. ' But waiting Tan also be dangerous.

National studies show that stop signs don't work effectively as traffic calming devices because drivers tend to either ignore them or roll through them, said Radke.

He also acknowledged that speeding is a problem in Pinebrook. "When 1 go up there. 1 drive the speed limit just to see what happens, and I have people passing pass-ing me and getting mad at me." said Cone. The bottom line, he said, is that "we're just trying to save people from themselves." Cone also said he has complete com-plete faith in Radke's assessment that turning the intersection into a four-way stop won't work. But that faith annoys Lambert. "I don't care if he is un expert, a stop sign is better than a roundabout round-about at this intersection." said Lambert.

However, it difficult to negotiate and a safety hazard for people who must drive through it. she said. Lambert wonders why the county won't at least test a four-way four-way stop. She would rather have people rolling through a stop sign than cutting in front of a traffic circle. "Why can't we just test and see if it works or not." said Lambert.
