"Broadcasting live from landmark locations throughout the state enhances the true Utah flavor of our programming," said Robb Cadigan, senior vice president of QVC programming. "It will give our 56 million viewers the chance to meet the people, see the places and learn about the culture that inspired many of these ingenious products from the Beehive State."

Saturday the Lady Pioneers did that when the greatest season in Lehi girls' soccer history came to an end as Lehi defeated region rival Park City 1 at Pioneer 3A State Field for the Championship. The quest for the title started earlier in the week with a quarterfinal match up against Dixie. The Flyers came to Lehi as the third seed from Region 11 with a spoiler mentality. The Pioneers dashed those hopes as Hillary Gerber and Erin Dickson scored first half goals on passes from Alisha Kolowich. In the second half Vanderhoef added two goals of her own with great passes from Shelley Bartholomew and Kolowich. The 2-- Flyers put one in the net late in too little, too late, as the Lehi defense shut Dixie down all day long earning a the game, but it was 4-- victory. 1 Freezing temperatures and 20 mph winds greeted the Pine View Panthers and the Lady Pioneers for the semifinal match on Friday, Oct. 25, in Lehi. Early on, midfielders Hillary Gerber and Erin Dickson dominated play. In the 26th minute, Bartholomew took the ball the length of the field and crossed it d box past Pine into the View keeper Michaela Miller. Sophomore Cassidi Elton slid by, kicking in the first goal of the game. Miller, who had 35 career shutouts, would not get her 36th on this cold day. In the 31st minute Lehi almost added to their lead, but a Kolowich shot bounced off the goalpost, keeping six-yar- score at A halftime speech about inten- the 1-- 0. sity and desire by head coach Brett Bergholm motivated the Pioneers to keep the pressure on Pine View. Sixty-tw- o minutes into the game, Kolowich sent a ball through to Vanderhoef, who raced down the field and kicked in her third goal of the playoffs from 12 yards out to increase the lead Great defense was played by seniors Josalyn Chamberlain, Julie Winsor, Raeanin Simpson, and Katye Gillman. When asked about the play of freshman goalie Lynnsey Asay, Gillman responded, "She has played great in the playoffs. She communicates well with (the defense)." Vanderhoef added, "Alisha gave me a great pass; I was just glad I scored. Finals, here we left-foot- 2-- 0. come!" The championship game was set when Park City humbled Wasatch 0 on Friday. Lehi and Park City finished tied for first place in region play; each team winning at the other's home field. On Saturday the weather continued to be below freezing and the 4-- field was muddy. Play went back and forth between the two teams as they adjusted to the conditions and the officiating. Twenty-tw- o minutes into the the game, Jordan Krieger, Miners' top player, took advantage of a mishap between Lehi defenders Josalyn Chamberlain and Raeanin Simpson to score the game's first goal. Dribbling down the middle of the field after receiving a pass from Annie Wasilewski, Krieger blasted a shot into the upper right hand corner of the net. Lehi responded four minutes later when Shelley Bartholomew kicked a loose ball past Park City keeper Christy Stephens. With eight minutes left in the half, Lehi almost scored another goal, but a direct kick by Kolowich hit off the crossbar saving the Miners. The first half ended after 40 minutes of exciting play, but it wouldn't even compare to the second half.

Utah County gets closer with extended telephone service By RUSS DALY Lehi City Editor The world, at least within Utah County, is about to become smaller as toll calling between some of the communities is scheduled to be eliminated. On Oct. 22, 1996, the Public Service Commission ordered US West Communications to implement Extended Area Service (EAS) for all of its exchanges in Utah Utah Central County, and Telephone to implement EAS for its exchange in Goshen. The order requires that US West file an implementation schedule within 10 days and has set the rates for both residential and business customers. (See box.) Rates for the additional fees are determined by the cost of service divided by the number of telephone subscribers. Extended Area Service was first introduced in Utah County approximately 20 years ago, when exchanges in both the north and south ends of the county were able to start calling exchanges in Orem and Provo without an additional toll charge. Residents of Provo and Orem were able to call both directions. An EAS fee was implemented for the service at that time. Duane Cooke, media relations officer for US West, said that, although the schedule would have to be filed by Nov. 4, the EAS The following rates have been established by the Public Service Commission as increases in the monthly fee foi Extended Area Service (EAS), which will be implemented within Utah County in the future: Residential $0.30 American Fork 0.23 Pleasant Grove 0.33 0.01 OremProvo 0.32 Springville 0.25 Spanish Fork Salem 0.34 0.28 Payson 0.38 Santaquin Goshen 263 Business $0.67 0.52 0.74 0.02 0.72 0.57 0.76 0.64 0.86 5.92 City Lehi change would likely not be implemented before the end of 1996. "We will do it as soon as possible, but it's safe to say that it will not be before the end of the year," he said. He explained that the technicians will have to examine the facilities that are currently in place to determine if additional trunk lines will have to be installed. They will then program the equipment that will recognize calls as local or long distance calls; the programming is usually done remotely, either in Salt Lake or even out of state. "This has been an extraordinary case," said the commission in their See TELEPHONE on Page 4 County Attorney seizes Candidate uses election to deliver message..... '.. videos at Movie Buffs By RUSS DALY City Editor Police officers seized "a quantity" of video tapes from two north Utah County video stores Friday night after a citizen complained that the stores were renting pornographic video tapes. Officers from the Utah County Attorney's office, Lehi Police Utah County Department, Sheriffs Office and assigned to the Narcotics Utah County Enforcement Task Force served search warrants simultaneously on the Lehi and American Fork Movie Buffs stores, according to Utah County Attorney Kay Bryson. Bryson said, "We have taken quite a large quantity of video tapes." Those tapes are in the process of being examined as prosecutors try to decide if the material meets the legal definition of pornography. Bryson said some tapes have been found which will be returned, but said the bulk of the tapes seized would be retained "for purposes of prosecution, if that becomes appropriate." The content of the tapes will be considered in the context of local community standards to determine if it is illegal, he said. "Our standards are higher here than in other places," Bryson said. An employee of the American Fork store, who asked not to be identified, said six police officers entered the store Friday night and confiscated tapes from a back room in the store where the business keeps "cable versions" of hard core videos. The cable versions are edited so they can be shown on cable television, usually late at night. Bryson said no charges have been filed. He doesn't expect to win, but he has a message to the people of the state of Utah and he wants to get it out. Voters will think they are seeing double when they go to the polls but the Andrew Tuesday, McCullough on the Independent American Party line and the Andrew McCullough on the Libertarian Party line are one and the same. A loophole in the law has allowed him to have nominations from both parties, one of only about three or four others to do that. Votes for either of the Andrew McCulloughs running for the state's Attorney General will be counted in his favor. The former Republican said he had always been "a libertarian with a small 'L someone who believes in both business rights and personal rights," and accepted the nomination from the party. having already been by the Independent American Party. "Both of them wanted to campaign for lower taxes and smaller government," he said of the two parties. "Those are the keystones of both parties, and it's been a good despite named match." He said he is alarmed at the campaign being waged by incumbent Jan Graham and Republican challenger Scott Burns, both of whom say they will be "tougher on crime." McCullough says he feels there is "another way" than just putting more people in jail, especially as officials seem to favor law enforcement "at any price." He cited the example of a young woman of his acquaintance who was riding in a car with her boyfriend. The couple was stopped for what appears to be no other reason than her male companion's When the young appearance woman, a victim of cerebral palsy, spoke to the officer in halting speech, she was immediately arrested for being under the influence of marijuana, despite later evidence to the contrary. "It's morally wrong and it's outrageous," said McCullough, who is one of a team representing the girl. Her case won in district court and the current Attorney General's office has appealed to circuit court .. X "(r SV' -- I, is . ' . in Denver. "The taxpayers pay for the arrogance and for the unreasonableness," said McCullough. "Someone needs to tell somebody and I'm the only one who's doing it." McCullough, a member of both the Utah State Bar and the New York State Bar, came to Utah 30 years ago to attend BYU, from which he received a bachelor's degree in political science and sociology. He later received his law degree from the University of Utah and is now senior partner of McCullough, Jones and Ivins in Orem. He specializes in criminal Andrew McCullough defense, civil litigation, family law, rights and business and corporate law. He is membership chairman for the American Civil Liberties Union and has served in the Young Republican Federation of Utah. civil |
