GLORGE, Utah (AP) A wildfire burning in southern Utah quickly spread to 9(X) acres Sunday and threatened communications towers and the Mountain Meadows massacre site. The Scrabble fire was burning about six miles northwest of Veyo on Dixie National Forest land, said Jodi I lamel, an interagency spokeswoman spokes-woman for Jhc Fine Valley Ranger Figure skating is at a crossroads with reform KYOTO, Japan (AP) Put aside the debate over a radical new points system vs. the cherished perfect 6, and forget trying to figure out how to randomly c1kxsc judges. When it comes to cleaning up figure fig-ure skaling's beleaguered judging system and preventing a recurrence of the scandal that rocked the Salt Lake City Olympics, the real question ques-tion for the International Skating Union is far simpler. Try and fix the old way? Or go with something totally new? "We are confronted with two different dif-ferent philosophies," ISU president Ottavio Cinquanta said. "One is to change something existing since 90 years. The other philosophy is to improve something that has existed since 90 years. "You have pros and cons. What is important for people to understand is they have to decide." The ISU will begin doing that Monday, when it gathers for its biennial bien-nial congress. There are hundreds of other matters for the 70-some delegates dele-gates to consider, but none has gotten got-ten more attention or is more crucial cru-cial to the sport than judging reform. While judging controversies have been a part of skating since it began, the sport was humiliated by the pairs scandal in Salt Lake City. Russia's Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze won the gold despite an obvious technical error. But when French judge Marie-Reine Le Gougne said she was pressured to "vote a certain way," the International Olympic Committee made the unprecedented move of awarding Canadians Jamie Sale and David Pelletier duplicate gold medals. Lc Gougne later recanted her accusation, but the ISU suspended her and French federation president Didier Gailhaguet for three years . and barred them from the 2006 Olympics. stuff? - .A ft w Record burning near Utah District and Bureau of Land Management. The fire was within two miles of the memorial where a wagon train of 120 Arkansas emigrants bound for California was attacked in 1857 by a Mormon militia and Indian subordinates. sub-ordinates. The fire also was about two miles from Big Mountain, which holds at least nine communications towers, Hie ISU has, essentially, three options for reform. All involve a random ran-dom selection of marks, making it tougher forjudges to have the back-rxm back-rxm dealings that tainted past competitions. com-petitions. From there, the proposals are vastly different. The plan presented by the United States would keep the existing 6.0 scale, but use the median mark the statistical consensus among the judges to determine the winner. "The U.S. basically keeps the system sys-tem as we judge now, which is looking look-ing at the overall picture," veteran judge Joe Inman said. "I'm not adverse to change. But I think the median mark thing cleans it up a little lit-tle bit." Australia also would keep the current marking scale, adding the technical and presentation scores together to get point totals. The last option is the most controversial. con-troversial. Outlined by Cinquanta in Salt Lake City, it calls for replacing the 6.0 mark with a points system similar to those used by other subjective sub-jective sports such as diving and snowboarding. Every element would have a set value, and future gold medalists could have three-digit scores instead of perfect 6.0s. The ISU proposal also would modernize the process, with judges using touch-screen computers to score the competition. There are some people skaters and coaches, in particular who just want to continue straight ahead. They're well aware the system is flawed, but they say it works more often than it doesnt. Despite the furor in Salt Lake City, Nicks said the sport is actually cleaner now than in years past. "When we had school figures, nobody knew what was going on. That allowed a lot of problems," prob-lems," he said. "Today it's as pure as the driven snow, in comparison." Besides, skaters say they know what they're getting into when they take up the sport., Because it combines com-bines athleticism and art, there will always be subjectivity. That may present problems, but it also helps ' give skating its rock star popularity. Turn judging over to computers, and skating loses its unique charm, the skaters say. "It is not like track and field and you have to cross the finish line first and then you are first, the winner," gold medalist Alexei Yagudin said. "The human part of it is too important. impor-tant. It needs to be part of the sport." festal Ca( learning while we poyvV A cuf tor 3 1-7 years. will efrcy 01 fkese FUN wcHviHes: D Ju)y I - Ahgitft-1, 2002 , (2 He$wecV) (Ho cWs JvJy ) Fc: fSS" rj"isfrHoAiAffTics .fee To reisf er cOI JicVle tee some used by the Utah highway patrol and the Washington County Sheriff's office, Hamcl said.
