The project would intrude three miles into an area the environmentalists have proposed for wilderness protection. Yellow cat was approved by the U. S. Bureau of Land Management in February but was halted temporarily in an administrative appeal that the environmentalists eventually lost in late August. The Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, the Natural Resources Defense Council . . . and the Wilderness Society promptly filed suit in U. S. District Court in Washington, arguing that the BLM failed to follow environmental laws while approving the project. BLM has consistently defended their approval by noting that only 35 scattered acres will be disturbed by the project, w hich would occur in an area that has seen oil exploration in the past and is open to oil and gas leasing. NEWS ITEMS WANTED The accepts news items from all sources. Bring them in by Monday, noon. Times-Independe- Davenport's name went back on ballot Monday ( ontinud from fg. A1 an opt a candidate's financial state Town send latitude to merits after t he ounty'w stated deadline According to court docu-rrnts. Grand County Deputy Attorney told Anderson that, in her view, she wax compelled by law" to remove Davenport's name from the ballot Anderson's written de cision also states. She (Tow nsend alsoc one eded that this court had discretion to order her not to do so. and offered no objection to such an order." In his argument to the court, Russell cited instances in Salt Iake and Uintah counties where county clerks allowed candidates to remain on the ballot even though they filed their financial reports after the stated deadline. In both cases, the clerks r a cited unclear language in thine w election statutes enacted this year in allowing candidates who filed late to remain on ballots, Russell also argued that because Grand County has not passed an ordinanc e establishing its own campaign finance disclosure requirements, the county must follow the letter of state law, which allows incounty clerks to the law. and terpret requires candidates to file financial statement seven days before the date of the general election. Since voting polls close at 8pm on election day, Russell litre-rally- argued that Davenport's 7 p.m. filing of her financials fell within the state's seven day requirement. In his ruling. Anderson accepted the argument, stating: "The hour of 7.00 p.m. on Oc- - 29. 2002, was tolx-- more- - than seven days before at least some portion of the November 5 elections. Though Townsend might have refused to accept the report after office hours, she did not The report should therefore he treated as timely Thank You! Thank You! . filed." Late Monday afternoon, employees in the County Clerks office scrambled to add Davenports name to official ballots used in the 50 or more voting machines throughout the county's 11 precincts. White stickers with Davenport's name and the name of her opponent. Peg Taylor, were added to the ballots. Officials said Taylors name was also inserted in the blue ballots using a white sticker so that neither candidate would potentially benefit from a difference in the appearance of the names.
