We had a lot of help, Squire said. It was a well-ruoperation," He estimated that expenses for the search could be in the area of $25,000-$30,00not counting the manpower. During a debriefing meeting Monday night, search leaders commended the community for their assistance during the long, hot ordeal. The whole town really turned out for this, said GCSR Commander Rex Tanner. He added that the boys parents said they were very grateful to all who had helped in the search, and that they were discussing the possibility of establishing some kind of fund to go toward preventative measures to keep others from dying as their son did. n Rancorous talk closes debate on change of government as present to cause the m 1992, I cannot believe that you want to get back into that. Have you ever heard the notion that the best government is the government that's closest to the people? With the system we have now, weve got that in spades, and I like it, aaid Craig Bigler. To change that because what appears to be a small faction of people that leans on you guys all the time, to try to change that without them doing the kind of work people initially did to get us where we are now, is a travesty 1 think when we elect a person we elect him to serve Grand County, said 1 dont think he Dale Irish. ought to get on the phone and call the Republican Party or Democratic Party in Salt Lake and ask, how should I vote?' Tve heard people say bipartisan politics is easier, 5 councilmen would be easier, said Joe Kiffmeyer. Three council members would be even easier. One council member would be really easy But you know what? Democracy is not supposed to be easy. The discussion continued for more than an hour and a half, and ended on a rancorous note when opponents of the w Continued from Page Al have to go through, the harder it is to get Holyoak also supported any decision notmaking all council elections ing, Right now, the way the political system is arranged 1 only get to vote on 3 of the council members John Keogh agreed. We were told thia would be better representation. 1 cant aee 3 out of 7 being better than 3 out of 3. I believe in the system, stated Jim Farnsworth. "Im in favor of both Democrats and Republicans getting together, discussing good issues, getting good people to run for office and then putting it before the vote of the people. 1 remember w ay back when we had party politics, reminisced former county commissioner Jimmie Walker. "We had a mix and we had a lot of fun. We would get together and debate honestly and openly and freely and we had a good time. I'd like to see that happen again, because its a step right on up the ladder from county government to state government to national government. And they are strongly held together. I feel weve lost that tie with the rest of the world. I believe that there are more than we need, although like all of you, said Marian Holyoak, with a smile. But opponents of the amendments outnumbered supporters. Those against the changes concentrated on two points: their belief the current system is better than the old one, and that proposals for change should come through citizens' petitions rather than county council action. I dont see partisan politics helping America at all, Democrats fight Republicans, Republicans fight Democrats, said Keith Simpson. 1 think nonpartisan government, nonpartisan politics, opens the forum to everyone. "There are a few disgruntled people in the community who didnt get their way, and they are going to keep hammering on this dead horse forever, stated Joseph Lekarczyk. I feel for the council to ask for changes is a conflict of interest, said Don Oblak. If some of the members of your districts have come to you asking for change, then there is a process. They can go and get signatures to put it on the ballot. You guys are the proand I dont cess, kind of a.i Hate crime think its right. Jane Jones said she was a Republican and she wanted Republican Party views reflected on the council, but she stated, People are going to perceive this as stuffing something down their throats that they dont want.

His funeral services were held on Tuesday, Aug. 8 at the LDS Stake Center in Moab and interment was in the Grand Valley Cemetery. His full obituary will run in next week's coun-cilme- n 1 changes accused the council of not looking into the ramifications of a vote, including whether or not state law allow Grand County to return to the current system in the future if amendments are made. Some council member sharply responded that they had studied the issue and saw no reason to step back. The council is expected to vote on the amendments at its next meeting An informal poll near the end of the discus- sion indicated Susanne Mayberry, Harvey Merrell, Ken Ballantyne and Bart Leavitt plan on voting for the changes. Kimberly Schappert and Al McLeod said they were opposed. Continued from Page Al to hear in order to get rid of them. Ballard claimed Colvin was the one who provoked the incident when he made an obscene gesture. On Tuesday, according to a 7 District County Clerk, defense attorney D. Richard Smith brought two character witnesses to the stand, along with a cousin of Ballards, Hyrum Ballard, who was in the truck and witnessed the scene. Robison also testified, saying he was not a white supremacist and claiming that he only got out of the truck in response to something Colvin had said. from Under prosecuting attorney Bill Benge, he also acknowledged having worn a Ku FGux Klan costume at a Halloween high school assembly.
