Several residents have asked commissioners to consider adding a translator to the existing system so Jazz games can be watched in Juab county. "I can't see how we can afford to be in the television business," said commission chairman, Ike Lunt. The local cable company, TCI, should add the service, he said. Those seeking the Jazz channel, Channel 14, should petition TCI for the service, said Lunt. "It would cost the county more than $5,000 plus installation for the translator," said Lunt. Eureka would also like the same service, he said, and the same translator would not work for both areas East and West Juab County.

"There has been no extra emphasis on picking up related offenders," said Bowles. All alcohol arrests have been going up, he said. The arrests are increasing because alcohol use seems to be increasing. "We are always watching for offenders," he said. The fines for such offenses are steep. An open container offense carries a fine of $250 as does illegal consumption. A driving under the influence fine is in the neighborhood of alcohol-- $1,500. Ten of 17 incidents handled by police this past week were alcohol related. On Nov. 4, a felony theft of a $1,200 wedding ring set was reported, the rings were taken from a residence in south west Nephi. , Also on Nov. 4, a summons to show cause was served for a probation violation. .
