Later that Kanab Kane County has taken what they believe to be RS2477 road issue affirmative action in the last month by erecting its own signs on public lands on the west end of the county. We wanted to try to find solutions, commented Commissioner Mark Habbeshaw, who spearheaded the action. The move was met with frustration from some public land managers, saying the action just complicates the RS2477 roads issue, which has yet to be settled in court. The questions of what is a road, who owns the roads, and road signage on public lands, began when under then Grand Staircase-Escalant- e National Monument director Kate Cannon, the BLM erected signs on the Monument prohibiting travel on some roads or trails, and banning ATV use on many others. The county and many local residents felt it was their right under an old RS2477 mining law to determine the countys transportation system across public lands, and what kind of motorized travel should be allowed. Public land managers begged to differ, and the issue has been mired in court for years. The county never gave permission for the signs, said Habbeshaw, adding the county had numerous meetings with Cannon trying to resolve the issue. We felt under state law we had authority to remove the signs. They had to know we were serious in the matter.

Back in Time Historic pictures of Moab and Grand County T--l files: http:www.lib.utah.edudigitalunews Utahns preserve right to smoke Park City According to Utah Senator Michael Waddoups, there are two things that shouldnt be watched: making laws, and making sausage. Wednesday, after tirelessly stirring up support throughout this legislative session vote by vote, Waddoups Senate Bill 77, which would amend the Indoor Clean Air Act to ban smoking in taverns and private clubs, was removed from the board. The pressure of time constraints, it appears, struck the circled bill from the list, and Waddoups will now need to wait for another legislative session to reintroduce initiative. Though private club lobbyists joined his smoke-fre- e tobacco companies to rock the support of SB77 during the session, it appears only a handful of private club owners in Park City find SB77s defeat a reason to celebrate. Kevin Doolan, owner of Doolans Sports Bar and Grill on lower Main says he would be in favor Waddoups amendments. Before coming to Park City, Doolan owned a nightclub in Sacramento, California when California chose to outlaw smoking in bars and restaurants. Though he was opposed to the ban initially, overall, asking smokers to step outside, he says, improved his business. Photo by Tom Taylor win over the South Sevier Rams.
