Hadfield's probation. sentence of A jury convicted Hadlield on four counts of sodomy on a children and three counts of child sexual abuse in Y. Cullen December. Judge Christensen ruled that Hadfield qualified for probation under Utah Law. The Supreme Court's ruling came response to a request by the Utah Attorney General's office that probation be revoked and Hadfield term. be sent to prison for a In the ruling, the court denied the petition for a Writ of Mandamus would have forced Judge Christensen to resentence Hadfield.

The ruling pointed out that under Utah law, the state can't appeal sentencing decisions of trial judges cirextreme under except cumstances - and said that the sentence by Christensen did not meet that criteria. The Attorney General's office had asked for the state's top court to rule out probation as an option for Hadfield, arguing that he did not meet all 12 of the requirements set down by state law for a convicted child sex abuser to qualify for probation. But Brad Rich, Hadfield's attorney, argued in a written response to the state's petition that Judge Christensen considered each before requirement carefully granting probation, and that there is no provision in the law to overturn the sentence. The ruling by the Supreme Court upholds that argument. Lehi water system needs costly improvements Ky SIIAKON MOKKKY Lehi City is up against serious water problems and it's going to take more than $4 million dollars to solve those problems with a pressurized irrigation system. Mayor George Tripp told the city council April 12. (hat Lehi "is going to be looking at putting a moritorium on building in the city it a solution isn't found to water supply and pressure problems." Tripp advised the councilmen to select one of three options presented by City Engineer Lorin Powell and put it before the public. "Since the 12 reservoirs were built the population of Lehi has doubled." said Tripp, "We're now lacking a couple of million gallons in storage to meet fire standards. We're just barely keeping up. The tanks were pretty well empty last summer and that's with a new well on line." Tripp pointed out that Lehi's present .lysteni has over 15,000 feet laid in asbestos pipe, with lead joint and lead connections - pipe material no longer allowed for use. 'It's really bad for poisonings." Tripp said, "We have several major roads laid in this kind of stuff. It is a concern." Michael Elkins. a citizen in the audience, said he had his children tested for lead levels in the blood and while the readings were not toxic, the levels were high enough to Ik worrisome. Lorin Powell explained the three options in pressurized systems of which the council chose Option 2 - a combination of upgrading and replacement plans. A new drinking water system will Ik' constructed with small pipe and all other city water will run through an upgraded version of the old system with larger pipes. The tab lor Option 2 is $4.l7(i.(MKi. The cheapest option was a plan to upgrade the present system and add two drilled wells, another reservoir at the sandpit and another on the airport hill. That would cost $2.:i84,(MK). Option 3 called for building another pipe system for the outside water and keeping the culinary water in the present pipe system for a cost of $4.8X),(KX). Mayor Tripp noted that the option with the bigger price tags also promised longer service. Councilman Guy Cash recommended that the culinary water d would be better put into the ne plastic pipe system. "It's a plus." commented resident Gary Cooper, "The city needs to go to this plan but it's going to be expensive." The council voted unanimously to accept Option 2 and start the machinery lo bring it before the public for a bond election. |
