Vm Sbllosnlcs County approves activity grants By JOSEPHINE ZIMMERMAN The Daily Herald ullouiny months of delays, the I'tjti County Commission voted ! uesduy to allocate grants from the Kestaurunt Tax for seven community activity projects totaling I S4S.KI4. The commission also granted conditional approval to four additional projects, if budget adjustments can be made and money found to grant an additional S26.5'K). In all. 16 community project applications were found to meet the criteria set up by the commission in cooperation with the I 'tah County Council of Governments (COGk Commissioner David Gardner said all applications were submitted to the County Attorney's Office to see if they met the criteria. Applications that qualified were then reviewed by a committee consisting of Gardner and two mayors selected by COG. Salem Mayor Kandy Brailsford and Alpine Mayor Joel Hall. Gardner said the committee recommended II projects totaling S72.314. Commission Chairman Jerry D. Grover objected to the expenditure of that much money, since oniv $50.(100 had been budgeted for the community activity grants. Gardner pointed out that some communities had been allocated grants last year, but apparently had not used the money. He said the additional money could include those unused funds. After some discussion, commissioners finally agreed to look at the budget before allocating the additional four grants. Projects approved include: Lik Ridge. $2,000 for construction of a tennis court in the town park facility. Mapleton, $4,685 to prepare a building to house the county's Bookmobile collection. Pay son. $13,629 for People Preserving Peteetneet. construction and development of an outdoor amphitheater facility at Peteetneet Park. Pieasant Grove Historical Preservation Commission. $8,750 for restoration of the Old Bell School Museum. Santaquin. S500 to build a replica of Santaquin for the Chieftain Museum. (The city had asked for $1,000) EPA OK interim time period By JOSEPHINE ZIMMERMAN The Daily Herald There is no doubt that the Lnv ironmental Protection Agency will approve Utah interim County's period to establish its own vehicle emissions program, according to Jerry D. Grover. chairman of the Clean Air Commission. Grover told the commission Tuesday that EPA officials have assured Utah County that the petition for interim status w ill be granted. has published a proposed rule allowing the periods and it is due for adoption on Nov. 15. Grover said the areas granted the interim period will have one year from Nov. 15 to get their programs started and six months to collect data. "We have already started our lM programs, so I see no problem." Grover said. "Ours is one of the better programs. Some programs will not receive interim status." Grover said the commission will review the proposed ordinance amending vehicle emission inspection regulations and he expects the ordinance to be voted upon at the November meeting. In other business, the commission also discussed what credits could be granted for communities that adopted traffic light synchronization to cut down on auto emissions. Provo has already instituted such a program and Orem is planning one. i The commission has 17 members, including the three cViunty commissioners and representatives from industry, academic community, environmental organizations, the health department, the genet-h- l public and various other organizations. th Utah's Highway Death Toll As of October 11. 1996 Year to Date 1995 Total 1995 Fatalities - 219 - 254 -- - 326 If you have a passenger side airbag, care should be taken when using childrens car seats.

The blaze, dubbed the Slate Canyon Fire, started Sunday night as a result of lightning strikes during a thunderstorm, said Uinta National Forest officials. The fire has burned three acres. Firefighters didn't get calls until Tuesday morning when the fire began to kick up after spreading to a fir tree. No one has been injured as a result of the blaze, which poses no threat to structures and is not expected to spread much because of the rocky terrain. In an effort to contain the fire, a helicopter made water bucket drops on the blaze Tuesday afternoon and snow was expected to squelch the fire later in the night. The fire is expected to be completely extinguished by nightfall tonight. No firefighters were assigned to the blaze because of the dangerous terrain, officials said.
