UVSC Inversion Continued from Bl should reduce their time on the streets and limit idling by staying away from restaurants. Although the stagnant air in the valley has helped the pollution to stick around, a new front moving through today should disrupt the pattern. Meteorologist Monica Traphagan with the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, said between two and five inches of snow are expected around Utah County today. The storm will likely be longer in duration and should have the strength to push the inversion out. Traphagan said this inversion may be one of the last of the season. The weather will soon be transitioning from winter to spring patterns with thunderstorms and less stable air. "Typically by the time we get into March, we start seeing inversions less' and less," she said. drive-throug- eted or even fined. Fines can still be administered, but most of the early fines were given as a way to increase awareness. Spangler said most residents are more compliant now because they are aware of the restrictions. Those who continue to burn wood during a red status may receive a warning, but olficials do not seek them out and only respond when a violation is reported. "We're not contributing to the air pollution by driving around to find people that are burning," she said. Spangler said she also made the effort to reduce pollution this week by riding the bus, but she realizes many people still need their cars. When this is the case, she said drivers h Stats.

Carter Continued from Bl lost thousands of dollars while working on the case because of inadequate financial compensation from the state. Before Davis issued a ruling on that, Moffat filed another motion requesting that hundreds of pages of briefings from a separate death penalty appeal be added to the court record. At a hearing two weeks ago, Davis said he would rule on that motion within 30 days. "Every time something is set, they file something to avoid a decision. So all this time that that's going on, the federal action is stayed," Brunker said. Brunker has said the actions of Moffat and Kent Hart, Carter's attorney in the federal case, have added unnecessary delays to Carter's execution. But Hart said, by filing a motion to lift the federal stay, it is the attorney general's office that will cause delays. "Let us go back to state court, resolve the issues there. Then we can properly raise them in federal court. That is the fastest way to move this case along," Hart said. Hart said he is preparing to submit a response to Brunker's motion. Carter was sentenced to die n for the 1985 murder of Eva in Provo. a during robbery Olesen was the aunt of a former Provo police chief. Carter is on his second postconviction appeal in state court. If he loses both his state and federal cases, he can appeal those decisions to the Utah Supreme Court ahd the 10th U.S. Court of Appeals, respectively. "I'd be very surprised if this were finished in five years," Brunker said.
