Show - THE BEAVER PRESS MARCH 4, 1982 PAGE 6 Milford Resident Mr Has Preliminary County, Nevada. Cartwright took custody of the four guns taken from Fallis' home and the ammunition with which they were loaded when taken. Mrs. Briscoe said Rivera didn't appear to be drunk at 2:05 and when he returned she was frightened and did not assess his condition. Fallis said when Rivera came to his place of employment at 2:15 he appeared to be "Stoned out of his mind." Fallis also said he considered the shotgun blast to be a warning that Rivera was upset about something and that the next one could be for him. Alphonso Rivera, a three months resident of Milford, appeared before Judge Christian Ronnow on February 25. for a preliminary hearing, Rivera had requested a change of venue to Beaver because he feared he would not get an unprejudiced hearing in Milford. Rivera also said he did not want to he represented by Beaver County Public Defender, Leo Kanell. When asked why. he said because Kanell was from Milford. After ascertaining that Rivera and Kanell had never met until the day of Rivera's hearing, Ronnow stated. "I will not allow the defendent to hold us hostage with his idea that you (Kanell) are not able to represent him.' Court was recessed for 30 minutes so Rivera could present his case to Attorney Kanell. Testimony by George Fal-li- s stated Rivera had previously worked for him, lived in a residence owned by him, and that he had also been accepted as a visitor in the Fallis home from which on the night and early morning of.Fcbruary 15 and 16, 1982 he removed four guns. The glass in a locked gun cabinet in the Fallis' home was broken and two pistols and two rifles stolen. The guns were loaded at the time. Later, at approximately 2:05 a.m. February 16, Kay Briscoe, clerk at the Trailside Store in Milford, said Rivera entered the store and asked to buy beer. Mrs. Briscoe noted the time because she checked to sec if she could legally sell beer. Mrs. Briscoe noted Rivera was carrying a shotgun. She said she told him she could not sell him beer at that hour and he made no protest. At approximately 2:15 Rivera appeared at the trailer office where Fallis was at work. When Fallis let him in and turned his back to continue work, he was startled by a shot gun blast from a gun Rivera held not more than 2 feet from his left side.' The shot went to Fallis' left and into-t- r report book leaning against the wall and into the wall. Fallis was not injured. Fallis said Rivera offered no resistance when he took the gun from him. When Fallis took the shot gun, which Rivers had removed from Fallis' pickup, out to lock it up in the back of the pickup Rivera followed him. According to Fallis. Rivera asked Fallis to shoot him. He then hit Fallis in the head with his fist. Rivera made no attempt to retrieve the shot gun. After starting to walk away, Rivera returned to offer eye glasses he thought belonged to Fallis. The glasses were actually Rivera's. Rivera then headed toward the back door of the Hong Kong Cafe. Fallis called Chief of Police Dennis Cox. Kav Briscoe said Rivera returned to the Trailside store. He pointed a nickle-platc- d pistol at her and told her he wanted money. When she reached for her purse, he told her he wanted $50 out of the cash register. He also took 2 of beer. After asking for Mrs. Briscoe's car keys, Rivera drove the car around to the gas pumps and put $25.10 worth of gas in the car. He had already written an 10U for the $50 and the beer. To this he added an IOU for the gas and for $.100 for the use of the car. Mrs. Briscoe said the signature was not legible. Rivera left and was turned over to Sheriff Lynn the following day. after waiving extradition by deputies from While Pine Cart-wrigh- t, Judge Ronnow said Health Notes From State Honey and Infant Botulism Infants less than one year of age should not be fed honey. Honey consumption in this age group has been show n to be a risk factor in developing infant botulism. Parents need to be reminded that honey is not an essential food for infants, and has been shown to contain the spores of Clostridium botuli-nu- i Because we have received reports that honey is gaining popularity as a supplement to the diet of babies, we felt that our warning of past years needs repeating. Infant botulism has been seen less frequently in Utah in the past two years and we would like to see it remain that way. TYHPOID Past and Present On some occasions, those of us in disease control feel like we are failing to make much headway in controlling disease or ..convincing others that we are going about our business in a rational manner. However, a recent letter from Mr. Y. F. Jones of Cedar City did remind us that we need to take an occasional backward glance to remind us that we have made tremendous progress in less than 80 years. Mr. Jones provided the following document from the Minutes of the County Court of Iron County, Book No. 2, Page 331: Place: Parowan, Utah Recorded: July 17, 1905 Herbert Adams was appointed Justice of the Peace in and for Cedar Precinct. (Archivist Note) The following was one of Justice Adams' notable cases: Dr. George W. Middlcton. City Physician and Health officer instituted proceedings against certain sheep men who ranged their herds in Coal Creek Canyon for pollution of Cedar City's water supply. The Whole case rested upon the germ theory of sanitary pollution and the Doctor's expert evidence was wholly on this point. Suddenly Judge Adams broke in with the question, 'Doc. what is a germ?' Answer: 'Germs are minute living organisms of animal or insect life of microscopic size.' Judge: 'Doc, have you ever seen a germ with your own eyes?' Answer: 'Yes, through a microscope. I have." Judge: 'Why haven't you put some of those animals here before the court as an exhibit in this case?' Doctor: 'Your Honor, Judge, they are too small to FREE Musical Program Snow College LDS Institute Singers March 4, at 7:30 p.m. Beaver High School Auditorium 1 Sponsored t hours of entertainment By Beaver Stake lit hosts Kellerman "Sweet Sixteen and Pregr nant", a poignant television special on the growing problem of teenage pregnancy in America, March 12 at 9:00 p.m. on KUTV, Channel 2. Statistics show that every day in this country, three thousand teenage girls become pregnant, and every year, six hundred thousand of them have babies. Producer Ann Hassett and John Director Cosgrove spent three months filming five of these young girls as they wrestled with the problems and pressures of pregnancy while barely out of childhood themselves. Among the interviews included in the hour are: a sixteen-year-ol- d mother who, upon learning of her pregnancy, married the teenage father and now fears that she may be pregnant again; a thirteen-year-ol- d girl who went ahead with her pregnancy despite the objections of her mother and the father; a young girl who, at sixteen, was unable to remain at home during her pregnancy and upon birth of her baby, releases the child for adoption; a high school graduate who describes the feelings and emotions which led her to the abortion decision she made a few years before; and several of the parents, teachers, and other adults whose lives were Sally one-hou- . Rare Each time a sighting is received, Hasenyager discusses the facts with the Black-foote- d Ferrets Discovered The only two black-foote- d ferrets in the world known of by scientists are alive and well in a northwestern Wyoming prairie dog town. The recent observations of these ferrets renews hope among Utah Division of Wildlife Resources biologists that the ferret, rarest mammal in the United States, may inhabit prairie dog towns in Utah. The last confirmed sightferret in ing of a the wild was in 1973, when a dead ferret was found in a Wyoming stock pond.

"These researchers are conducting a 'site visit' as part of the studies that will indicate whether the group of people who worked with toxic chemicals at Hill have higher illness and death rate than other Utah residents," Hatch said. "This part of the study is supervised by NCI. and NCI has contracted the work on the project. "Officials at NCI told me the purposes of the site visit are to review historical records, perform a walkthrough of several work areas, and develop procedures for data collection to complete the study. "It has been just over a year since union officials representing the workers at Hill asked me to involve the Senate Committee on Labor and Human Resources. There is a lot of work yet to be done, but this site visit is an indication of how far we have come in only one year toward answering the questions about worker injury from the chemicals," Hatch said. from the Air Officials Force, officials from the employees' union, the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) Local 1592, and state records officials will meet with the research group during a four-daperiod. y be seen with the naked eye and the court has no microscope.

These figures represent average yearly incidence and mortality of approximately 272 and 28 per 100.000 population respectively. During the mo- period. 1977-198only 16 cases of typhoid with no deaths were reported in Utah, representing an average yearly incidence of approximately .22 per 100.000 population. If there had been no measures implemented to control typhoid fever, and 1906-191rates had prevailed until today, we would expect to see 3,974 cases each year compared to our present (1977-81- ) yearly average of 3. 2 cases. 0 sighting.

In the most recent Wyoming sightings, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists discovered the location of the two black-footeferrets after a rancher's dog killed one black-foote- d ferret. The occurrence of ferrets has never been verified in Utah, although several unconfirmed sightings have been reported to Bob Hasenyager, nongame biologist for the Utah Wildlife Resources Division of the Department of Natural Resources and Energy. Hasenyager is seeking all information about reported sightings of ferrets, no matter how suspect the sighting may be. He encourages Utahns who may have ferret to seen a call him at the Division of Wildlife Resources office in Salt Lake City. Persons may also contact one of the regional Wildlife Resources offices in Ogden, Springville, Vernal, Cedar City or Price. d The search for the ferret in Utah is part of the program called "Wanted: Information Leading to the Location of Utah Rare Mammals." The Division is also seeking information about the Canada lynx, wolverine, river otter, gray wolf, the spotted bat and the bat. BeMexican fore a management program can be formulated for these rare species, their existence in the state must be confirmed and distribution and populations determined. black-foote- Probe st recent Performed by Approximately he perceived each of Rivera's actions as shot through with excess and almost irrational. He set Rivera's bail at $75,000 and reserved the right to approve his bondsman. Ronnow stated that Rivera's mental attitude needed to be looked into and that it was the kind of atitude which results in dead people. y "A and in so doing help others to understand and appreciate the inherent value of preserving and reusing our slate's architectural resources." notes Dr. Mclvin T.

Or better yet, all the sagebrush you can eat - and whenever you want it. Ridiculous? No more so than half a dozen other fad -- diets that have been in the limelight lately. And probably about as effective. That's not to imply that you won't lose weight on some of these diets. You might indeed. But you might also pay dearly for it with your health. Perhaps even with your life. Take, for instance, the liquid protein diets that were in vogue during the 70's. Though these diets helped some persons to drop pounds, they also may have caused others to drop dead -from heart attacks. Many of these victims had no previous history of heart problems. . Another fad diet currently making the circuit has also put a few of its followers in the hospital with heart problems. The doctor for one of these persons, reports Medical World News, said of his patient: "If she had remained on the diet another week, she could have died." How do you tell a fad diet from a safe, effective one? It's simple. Just remember these three ways they differ: The fad diet promises you a "quick and easy" means of losing weight. The safe, effective diet reminds you that losing weight is a slow, steady process that takes time and discipline. The fad diet is based on one to several "miracle" foods or on a "completely nutritious" powder or potion. The safe, effective diet includes a variety of foods, from the four basic food milk. meat, fruits groups and vegetables, and grains. The fad diet tells you not to worry about "bothersome" caloric counting. The safe, effective diet reminds you that, even if you don't count calorics, your body will. Wc may never sec a Dallas diet on the market. And if not. don't feel disappointed. There arc still herds of others to steer clear of. "nf Hotline American . . . uners Advice fifteen-year-ol- d Declaration DECISION NOTICE OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT for the JOE JARRETT MINE PROPOSAL USDA, Forest Service Fishlake National Forest An Environmental Assessment that documents an analysis of the Joe Jarrett Mine Proposal south of the Kimberly area in Piute County, Utah, is available for public review, in the.USDA Forest S.crvice office at Beaver, Utah. Based on the Environmental Analysis it is my decision to adopt Alternative 2. It is the plan submitted by the mining claimants as modified by the impact mitigating measures and other requirements identified by the analysis. It includes all portions of their plan except the historic cabin restoration which is beyond the scope of this analysis. Alternative 2 adequately meets the following objectives which were established to guide the analysis and decision process: 1. Select an alternative which provides access as required by the 1972 Mining Law. 2. Choose an alternative which remains economically reasonable (as required by the 1872 Use Act Regulations 36 CFR Part 228 Minerals) when necessary environmental impact mitigation measures are imposed. 3. Supervise the project to reduce adverse environmental empacts and provide for impact reclamation upon abandonment. I have determined through the Environmental Analysis that approving the Joe Jarrett Mine Operating Plan, and issuing the required Special Use Permit for road maintenance of the jeep trail access, is not a major Federal action nor would it be detrimental to the quality of the human environment, therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement is not necessary. Project implementation may proceed in the order of the following steps: 1. A bond equal to the estimated reclamation costs (sec Appendix B) for the project, must be posted and approved. 2. Alignment of the new road must be approved before construction begins. New construction earthwork may not begin until the Forest Service Zone Mining Engineer verifies that the ore stockpile is of a grade which could be profitably processed under current market conditions. 3.

The Utah office of the Western Solar Utilization Network (SUN), a regional solar organization for the 13 western states, will n for be terminated on February 28. 1982. according to Kerry Faigle, Utah Western SUN representative., ,, Orginated in 1978. the Western SUN organization provided direst assistance to builders, architects, homeowners, and local governments working on solar . energy development and utilization. Many of the statewide activities in solar energy have been stimulated by workshops and seminars sponsored by Western SUN in cooperation with the Utah Energy Office, a division of the Department of Natural Resources and Energy. Working out of the Utah Energy Office. Western SUN provided technical help and financial assistance to the developing solar industry. According to Failge. "Wc worked closely with the industry and city and county governments, while giving consumers an source of information on solar energy." Recent federal budget cuts have necessitated deep cuts in a number of energy programs. Only $83 million solar energy in long-terresearch and development projects remain in the 1983 fiscal year budget. Western SUN. which provided direct services to the public and local governments in 13 Western states, is among the first of the solar energy programs to be eliminated. easy-lo-rcae- h Form 1040A.
