The exciting thing about the program is it encourages a generation of voters. It exposes them to the process," said Amy Naccarato, of the Lieutenant Governor's Office. The leaders of Utah County's two major political parties support the idea of encouraging children to get involved in the electoral process, but they're weighing whether the poll is an omen of things to come. The nationwide program involves students in elementary, middle and high school grades.

BRIAN WTNTERThe Daily Herald Drive and Foothill Drive in Provo as Halloween spirit runs wild 53 By TAWNY ARCHIBALD The Daily Herald UTAH COUNTY Tonight's the night to go out and see all of the spooky decorations that have haunted the valley this Halloween. From Alpine to Payson, spiders, witches and other spooks have made a temporary home in the yards of a few spirited residents. A giant spider web and enormous spiders have invaded the yard at 1015 N. Geneva Road in Provo. A tangle of spiders cover the yard. Homemade trees fill in any empty spaces and lights are used to give the yard an eerie aura. "My sister died a few years ago and so (a family friend) started to do this kind of thing for her," said Becky Conover. "He would even mow smilely faces or sunshines in the yard so if people were flying over they would see them." The creator of this is Rick Cunningham. He began this year's project about three weeks ago. "Halloween is his biggest thing," Conover said. "He hand-tiethe entire (web). arach-nid-fe- d st MARC USTERTht Duly Herald Web crawler: A giant spider rests on a web Friday In front of the Covington home on North Geneva Road in Provo. The home was decorated by family friend Rick Cunningham In memory of Heavle Covington, who died about a year ago. He's added strobe lights and spotlights to help. He spends days out there and it takes about a week." Conover said this year he has added several more spiders and a huge one with eyeballs that looks like it's crawling off the roof of the house. Family fun Another home in the valley has also taken the idea of spider webs and added them to a yard display. larger-tha- n-life Mark Molt, of 393 E. Center Street in Springville, has added orange spider webs to his collection of goulish Halloween decorations. "I've been doing this for probably 18 years," Molt said. "It is different every year. I started it as an activity with the kids, now they are all getting older and the grandkids like to help." Molt had seriously thought of bagging this year's decorations, but after several people called to ask when they would be up and to offer to help, Molt and his family decided it was time to jump into the Halloween spirit once more. "Halloween is always a fun time for kids," Molt said. "You just get real creative." Molt has a knack for inventing and creating his own props and decorations. The only things he's bought have been masks, clothes and a coffin. A witch hanging from a wire in the yard is made of wire tomato baskets and his brightly colored light show is nothing but an old window wiper motor and tin cans. "When we bought the coffin in Salt Lake we were on our way to the circus and put it in the van," Molt said. "Some people were looking at us and I turned to (my son) and said, 'At least grandpa got one more chance to see the circus.' They just stared at us." Spooky habit Rex Peterson, of 482 E. Center Street in Orem, enjoys having people come to visit his yard and see his annual Halloween display. UTAH COUNTY If La Nina is as good to Utah County as El Nino, residents may have a "green" winter. Starting Sunday, Utah County residents will begin putting oxygenated fuel in their cars and checking the weather report before lighting a roaring fire in their hearths. The restrictions run until the end of February, but if enough storms roll through, the fireplace restrictions could stay in the green zone for the entire winter. Robert Dalley, manager of the State Division of Air Air Monitoring Quality's Center, said Utah County did not have to go to "yellow" or "red" burn conditions under the state's fireplace restriction program last year because of storms generated by El Nino. "Our longest inversion was one week," Dalley said, referring to the meteorological condition where a layer of warm air traps cold air against the ground, sealing in pollutants. "Last year, there were a lot of storms rolling through." Good storm warning! But this year, meteorologists say there is a La Nina event in the Pacific, where the water is cooler. That will throw off storm patterns, and Dalley said it's a chance that it will benefit Utah County. The fireplace and oxygenated fuel programs were put in place to control particulate pollution and carbon monoxide in the Utah County area, The area has not violated either pollutant standard since 1993, but Dalley said people need to remain vigilant. Fireplace restrictions have been in place for PM10 since 1990. Under the rules, the state will place no restriction, a green burn day, on burning as 50-5- 0 See POLLUTION, A7 See HALLOWEEN, A7 r.:on;;:N3 cr.:znr:3 rod: faffy Low 40 kAi MMOfrOWS Low 41 Whiles mste their way Imsgfcg firm bought llsitesrcen safety Grays are not the most charismatic of whales.
