Show DAILY Sunday, April 27, 2008 'Wyatt Earp' visits his own grave site Michael Manekin THE buffalo-huntin- cattle-drivin- OAKLAND TRIBUNE saloon-gamblinfrontier-marshalin- So many COLMA, Calif . Wyatt Earp fans visit the Wild West legend's grave in Colma, Calif., that the folks who over' see his tombstone at the Hills of Eternity Memorial Park have a special name for them. "There's always an Earner coming here every day from all over the world," said Judy Edmonson of the Hills of Eternity. "People come from all over the country," she said. "There was a sheriff from Alaska. And the cadets going off to U.S. Marshall Academy like to visit. Once, we even got a visit from the descendents of the the cowboys from Qantons the OK Corral claiming they wanted to see the grave of the man who shot their ancestors." That visit was pretty weird, Edmonson said. Stranger still was a Friday afternoon cemetery visit from no less an eminence than Wyatt Earp himself. All right, not the original g, g legend of the Wild West. But the TV actor who brought the name-takin- g, of yore to butt-kickin- g American living rooms in the classic series "The Life and Legend of Wy-a- tt Earp." HughO'Brian,now83, played Earp for the ABC drama from 1955 to 1961. His "Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp" is now regarded as the d Western first on televisioa beating onto the air by a matter of days. More than 45 years after Wyatt Earp went off the air, O'Brian is still best known as the show's eponymous hero, and on Friday, he traveled from his home in Beverly Hills, Calif., all the way to Colma. The order of the day was to pay tribute to the hero of the West, and the city of Colma responded in kind, offering their own respect to the geriatric actor. HERALD B3 Restore Mathe.

They also browsed the furniture. Karren Whitaker said she too had first noticed the store while driving by and decided to explore it just to see what it might offer. Mathews said Utah has one of the.highest landfill rates for construction material in the nation, and the store came about almost accidently as people began to realize they could donate new and used materials to Habitat for Humanity instead of trucking usable items to the dump. Habitat for Humanity in Utah County began collecting donations in the back room of Mathews' office, and then started having monthly garage sales with the items. Those sales became so popular that Habitat began holding them weekly. And then, a year ago, UDOT offered Habitat the salvage rights to homes slated for demolition along 800 North in Orem as crews readied to expand that road. Faced with such an abundance of saleable material, "we decided to take the plunge and open a store," Mathews said. "Now, we get new stuff daily," she said. "It's a full community effort." Restore, 626 North Freedom Blvd., in Provo, is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, To contact ReStore about donations or items on hand, call bee swarms, including Charles Sigler, who has kept bees for eight years. Sigler said beekeepers are eager to remove a swarm of bees, which they are able to add to their own collec- grow.

"We do have disclosures, but there are very few penalties attached to anyone who does not abide by any regulations," said Cassie Dippo, past legislative chairwoman of the government watchdog group Common Cause. Shurtleff says the donations already are disclosed by candidates, "so it's double disclosure, but (corporations) still need to disclose." Some companies say failing to report the donations is an oversight or that they weren't aware they were required to. Demma said most corporations who have questions call the Lieutenant Governor's Office and get the information they need to file properly. "For a corporation to say 'I had no idea,' that's just ludicrous, But for us to notify each corporation that would be every corporation essentially in the world needing notification to say, 'Here's what " you have to do,' Demma says. "It would be a financial nightmare for our office." Continued from Bl corresponding disclosures on file, has a similar take. "Obviously the candidates need to do all that they need to do as well, but it's tough to tie together that candidates are responsible for their own filing and corporations' filings," said Lisa Roskelley, the governor's spokeswoman. "The candidates need to be responsible." Meanwhile, the Lieutenant Governor's Office says it doesn't have the resources to check into every contribution. "We only have so many eyes. We can only look so hard. But we absolutely go after it. "If we don't know about it, amongst all the other things we're doing, it takes a little time to get to," said Joseph Demma, chief of staff for Lt. Gov. Gary Herbert. "I'd say for every one that we don't catch, there are five that we do."

Because the bees cannot be killed, Shelley said the exterminator will usually call UCBA to remove the swarm, but the residents may endup getting charged for the exterminator's services. Teri Anderson, a dispatch supervisor for the Utah County Sheriff's Department, said several calls come in every year about honeybee swarms. Anderson said the department has a list of phone numbers to give out for honeybee concerns, "I ceptions about the bee swarms, which Shelley said can range from a basketball size to a beach ball. The common idea of a swarm is a large quantity of bees chasing a person, but honeybees are relatively harmless when they are away from the hive. If the bees need to be removed, however, Shelley said it would be best to leave that up to professionals. : "If they don't know what they're doing, absolutely , there's a risk of being stung," he said. Several local residents work with UCBA to remove honey "Anything that gets pol- linated, was pollinated by a honeybee," he said. Shelley said he enjoys the tion. "For us, it's free bees, so we're there in a heartbeat," he said. Sigler said if is important to remove the bees instead of killing them in order to keep the bee population intact. Honeybees have been declining in number because of several health factors, and Sigler said if honeybees die so will people. Many people may not know the benefits of honey tees, which Sigler said are responsible for helping multiple crops to education opportunity that comes with removing a swarm of honeybees. Whenever a swarm is spotted, people usually congregate, and he can teach about the importance of the bees.
