The Republican lawmaker's own constituents are unhappy about efforts to protect the desert tortoise in the St. George area. Others are upset about the costs of preserving fish, flowers, birds, mammals and even a snail . In response, Hansen is sponsoring the Human Protection Act, which would require the federal government to consider repercussions for humans before listing a plant or animal as threatened or endangered. Utah's biggest endangered specie's battle likely will be waged in the sandstone cliffs north of St. George, home to more tortoises per acre than anywhere on Earth. A man recently spent five days in jail and paid a $250 fine for taking a tortoise from the desert near St. George.

Ironically, Owens' failure to obtain the nomination likely means a greater likelihood of a Republican gubernatorial primary, he said. "If Wayne had gotten 70 percent, then there would have been a strong argument by our candidates to ask the delegates for the nomination to meet the challenge," Hough said. In fact, he predicts only two GOP races will see nominations at the Republican State Convention in in the 1st and Ogden June 7 26-2- from the basket, he said one scrambled to a protective nook. "The other just chirped at me. It never did go back in. My glove was partly off and it grabbed my hand with its talons, as if to say 'You're not getting off this easy.' Those suckers are just so sharp," he said. For DWR biologist Bob Walter, this seventh year of identifying the resurgent peregrine population was a success. "They looked great," he said. Less than three weeks old, one chick was confirmed to be. a female; the other probably was, although birders said it could have been a large male. Both chicks sported brownish tails and feathers in place of the white down of younger hatchlings. Before long, they will test their wings in flight. stopped after biologists discovered five tortoises on the edge of the property. Jim Doyle, a developer who owns 2,840 acres of land near St. George, said his plans to build golf courses, shopping centers, and homes have ground to a stop for fear of damaging a tortoise. "I am very, very pessimistic about doing much of anything on my land with the laws as they presently exist," said Doyle, who claims to have invested $7 million in development plans. "I could coexist with the tortoises, but I've been told by the biologists that the tortoises couldn't coexist with me. The law allows development to proceed on some of the tortoise habitat if landowners have established a permanent system of nature preserves to assure the remaining animals will survive. Such a system has been tried in Las "As a nation, we seem to be at an impasse, ".he said Saturday.

The UHP identified the victim of the 8:55 a.m. accident as Louann Wilson, 36. Wilson was making a lane change from the far left lane of the freeway when she apparently noticed a car in the lane to her right, said UHP Trooper Roger Larson. She swerved back into the left lane, apparently overcorrected and rolled into the median: wearing a seat belt, and she was ejected from the vehicle, Larson said..

"For $100 in state fees, a person has an opportunity to clear his record so he doesn't have to live with it forever. But in my eight years on the bench, petitions for expunction have numbered 15 or less a year," he said. The judge surmises that the sparsity of applications is due to people not knowing a legal expunction system exists.

When an expunction petition is granted, a person may answer an inquiring employer as though the arrest or conviction did not occur, according to Utah law. If a person has been arrested or convicted of a federal crime, the process of expunction must be done by seeking executive clemency by pardon through the U.S. Justice Department. For a state expunction, applicants must first obtain a certificate indicating no previous expunction from the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification. That certificate and a petition asking for expunction is filed with the court that had jurisdiction of the case.

Owens, Orton: Party loyalty not automatic SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Utah Democrats Wayne Owens and Bill Orton say they won't be bound by party loyalties to automatically vote for Bill Clinton if the presidential race ends up in the House of Representatives. Last week, Democratic National Party Chairman Ron Brown said party members had an obligation to vote for the Democratic nominee should lack of a clear winner in the electoral college leave the presidency up to Congress. Brown has since backed away from the statement, saying he was not ordering Democrats to blindly follow the party line. But Orton, who represents Utah's 3rd District, said he fully expected both Democrats and Republicans to be told to support their respective candidates. "But I feel I have an obli- gation to the people," Orton said of a hypothetical in the House. "They should decide who the new president should be. "So I have made it very clear I will vote for whomever wins the popular vote in my district even if it is a Reor independent. I publican don't care what the party says," he added. Owens agreed, saying "I feel a better guide (than the party) is to follow what the people want." Under the U.S. Constitushow-dow- n tion, if presidential candi- dates fail to win a majority of the electoral votes, the House then elects the president and the Senate chooses the vice president. Owens is giving up his House seat to run for the county. To register any public comment or question 0 concerning agenda items,, please call and leave a message on the automatic answering system.
