Upping the ante in a fight over property rights, the Forest Service intends to cut off vehicle access to a dirt road in remote Elko County and the work of citizens part of the r$ad near Jarbidge on the undo w,ho reopened ' Fourth of July. o: In new motions filed here , ia U.S. District Court, Justice Department lawyers also asked a judge to shelve a proposed mediation settlement with Elko County and others and allow the simmering feud to proceed in court. Forest Service officials on Thursday refused to comment on specific plans to reclose the disputed road on national forest land near the Nevada-Idahborder, n "No determination or decision has been made as to the next step that the agency will take. Right now o they're considering their dptions," Forest Service Christie Spokeswoman Kalkowski said. ."We are in no way trying t$ restrict hiking,"' she stressed. "That's a definite use we promote." Regional Forester Jack Humboldt-Toiyab- e Blackwell, Forest Supervisor Bob Vaught and Bob Williams, Nevada supervisor of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, plan to survey the site next week with agency biologists. "I think it's improper for them to close roads without hearings," said Elko lawyer Grant Gerber, a key player in the dispute. "I'm disappointed in my government that they're walking "Way from the ) table." A portion of the South Canyon Road washed out in a flood in 1995.

The Justice Department sued the county, accusing it of trespassing and violating the Clean Water and Endangered Species acts. But U.S. District Judge David Hagen put the suit on hold this spring and ordered all sides into mediation.

Venaleck, Cleveland, Ohio, said that as the plane landed, it began veering 8 Ogden-Hinckle- y uncontrollably to the left. "I gave it the full brake, but it just wouldn't go right; it just wouldn't go right!" Venaleck said. Leaving long skid marks, the plane went off the runway and into a field. The right landing gear collapsed and the plane went nose-firs- t into the ground. The impact tore the edge of the right upper wing and bent the propeller. Venaleck was flying from Medford, Ore., to his home state for a vintage plane He was landing at Ogden for an overnight stop. Venaleck said he has invested more than 5,000 hours and $500,000 in restoring the plane. "What it's worth right now is another $200,000 in repairs," he said.

"Obviously, we all want every infant raised in a loving home with loving parents, but that doesn't always not even in Utah," happen said Rep. Patrice Arent, Lake City, sponsor of Safe the proposed Abandonment bill. She presented the measure to the Health and Legislative Human Services Committee lt Wednesday. If the bill passes during next year's legislative session, Utah will join 10 other states with laws. Since 1997, six living infants" have been abandoned in Utah, said Richard Anderson, deputy director of the state Division of Child and Family Services, which supports Arent's legislation. There have been other newborns who died, including a baby boy found at a St. miniature golf George course earlier this year, a newborn boy found stuffed in a dresser drawer in 1998 and the three children of Darcie Jo Baum. Many others have likely been abandoned, died and never found. "The police say we hear of some, but not all of these cases. It's easy to conceal a baby in a Dumpster or a drainage ditch and no one ever looks in there to find it," said Arent, a former state prosecutor. , The bill would allow women to leave newborns at hospitals or fire stations with no questions asked. Using those facilities would give women access to a site that also could provide medical care if needed. If women want to volunteer information about the baby's health history, they would be allowed to, but it would not be required. 24-ho- "We will offer plete said. her anonymity," com- Arent However, if the baby has . been abused, mothers still would be subject to prosecution for child abuse, Arent said. Rep. Becky Lockhart, said Arent's bill does not consider the rights of men who have fathered babies and may not know it. "What if the boyfriend doesn't know, and he has no idea he's a dad. He loses his rights," she said. The state runs a registry of people claiming paternity, and that list would be checked before the abandoned babies were placed for adoption, Arent said. Committee votes to restore consumer watchdog group SALT LAKE CITY (AP) A legislative committee has voted to halt the death sentence inflicted on the state Committee Services by of Consumer the Questar Bill. The Public Utilities and Interim Technology Committee voted Wednesday to amend House Bill 320, which has yet to go into effect, and restore the Consumer Services Committee as the independent voice for residential customers, small businesses and farmers in rate cases. The unanimous vote was a for consumer advowho feared elimination cates, of the committee would leave Utah with one of the nation's weakest programs to ensure utilities do not gouge consumers. The 2000 Legislature passed HB 320, which was drafted with participation by natural gas utility Questar Corp. Gov. Mike Leavitt, father sits on whose Questar's board of directors, allowed the legislation to become law without his signature. It is scheduled to take effect next year. "Given the huge public outcry, the members of the interim committee did not victory have much choice" but to restore the Committee of Consumer Services, said Jeff Fox of the Utah Consumers Network, an arm of the Crossroads Urban Center. Fox and other consumer advocates remain only cautiously optimistic about the ultimate outcome of the interim committee's action. "None of this really matters until we see the exact details of what they will be proposing," Fox said. Proposed changes to HB 320 must now be drafted for approval by the Public Utilities Interim Committee. And before the Committee of Consumer Services is saved, must lawmakers state the during changes approve the 2001 Legislature. Questar Corp. pushed HB 320 through the Legislature by arguing the state's regulatory system is too adversarial. Backers of the Questar bill contended the Public Service Commission has favored consumers over other interests. the Eliminating Committee of Consumer Services was just part of the bill's attempt to streamline the process and make it easier for utilities to rate-settin- win g rate hikes. ii |
