Unexpected guest stays for a day - NORTH LOGAN (AP) A moose on the loose from Hyde Park Canyon chose a lush lawn and apricot orchard as the perfect Bed and Breakfast for a daylong visit. Anna Mae and Frank Klinger discovered the sleeping moose in their front yard a little after 8 a.m. Wednesday. But the unexpected visitor didn't stay long before wandering to Vera Spoerry's apricot orchard for a bite to eat. When the moose made its way to business reported Base outlines following gun ban By CAREY HAMILTON Associated Press Writer SALT LAKE CITY - Utah gun dealers have mixed feelings about Congress's decision to ban some semiautomatic assault-styl- e weapons last week. They're angry at but, Washington's meddling hey, it's got the gun business booming. The proposed law, which targets 19 weapons, copycat versions and other firearm paraphernalia, would ban the manufacture and sale of the guns through licensed dealers. The House passed a version week and the Senate had already passed a similar law. Details will be worked out in a conference committee in the coming weeks. For now, however, the pro- posed ban seems to be having an opposite effect, flooding stores with citizens making a run on the weapons before they become illegal. Both versions of the law allow possession of the firearms providing they were purchased before the ban takes effect. The House vote took place last Thursday. Within hours, the aisles at Doug's Shoot'N Sport in Salt Lake City were crowded with eager buyers. The crush never let up, said manager Dave Larsen. "Thursday was the busiest day until Friday," he of the year said. Larsen claimed a 100 percent increase in business in the ensuing days. He had anticipated the ban would come eventually, but not so soon. "I didn't expect so many lawmakers to be ignorant about the guns," he quipped. A couple blocks south on Redwood Road, the buying frenzy continued at Golden Spike Fire- arms. "People are coming in and buying everything they can afford. People are afraid they're going to come and take everything away," said owner and manager Nancy - Hill SOUTH WEBER (AP) to Air Force Base plans spend $32 million over 30 years to clean up and monitor toxic waste that is creeping into South Weber's groundwater. Officials fear some of the pollution may have found its way into Canal and they the Davis-Webare beginning to question to veracity of base reports on the problem. The contamination, from a dumping site called Chemical Pit 3 on the base's northern boundary, now involves six acres on the base and about 25 acres outside its perimeter, according to a base report released this week. The contamination includes suspected carcinogens, the most prevalent being trichloroethylene, or er plan to clean up waste TCE. It is is a solvent formerly used at the base to degrease airplane parts. Tests also turned up a "potential problem" with metals including lead and cadmium aluminum, confound in centrations in the area. City and base officials met recently to review cleanup proposls, said South Weber Mayor Bill Petty. He came away from the meeting with new concerns over the higher-than-avera- "repetitive and studies which he believes are inaccurate. "I've no doubt that they're flawed, in fact," Petty said. For one thing, slides used during the presentation to show the spread of the contamination plume were a year old. Base officials said its migration has stopped, but Petty isn't convinced. Meantime, the base acknowledges the potential for pollutants to seep into the Canal Weber-Davi- s through its cement lining, which is aging, cracked and missing in some places. Canal manager Floyd Baham believes water is already contaminated, although he isn't sure the amounts of pollution are large enough to cause concern. Hill officials say the pollution "currently poses no significant threat to human health" since nobody uses the polluted groundwater. Meantime, they outlined plans to extract the water and treat it Nell. "They're going to try and disarm America," she said. "I'm not as worried about my business as I am fearful about our rights. ' ' Fears aside, Nell has seen her business increase tenfold since the ban. While she said she's not trying to capitalize on the arms rush, she has raised prices to offset a markup by distributors.

Grants will help to hire more police - Salt SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Lake City and Weber County will receive federal grants to hire more police officers. The grants of $1.05 million to Salt Lake City and $287,027 to Weber County will pay 75 percent of the salaries for three years for 14 new officers in Salt Lake and four new officers for the Weber County sheriffs office and Washington Terrace and Roy police. After the three years, the local governments will have to pick up the full cost of the officers' salaries. Salt Lake City Mayor Deedee Corradini said the city should have extra money in three years anyway. "We're just hoping we're on a roll here," she said Thursday. Students walk out to protest plans - WENDOVER (AP) Students at Wendover High School walked out of class to protest plans for another high school to be built on the Nevada side of the border. "We feel it will cause a lot of tension between the schools. It's a small town as it is and we don't want to see it split," protest organizer Monica Roberts said. The number of participants in Thursday's protest was put at 150 by The Salt Lake Tribune and at 300 by Salt Lake television station KTVX. For nine years, Wendover students have gone to elementary school in Nevada and high school in Utah. Utah educators decided they could no longer afford to educate the growing number of students from the Nevada side of town.
