Atissue is whether the church’s lease on the building at 445 S. 4015 West in Kearns expires with New Year’s Eve or at the end of 2000. Barahona points to a Dec. 31, 2000, expiration date in the contract as proofhis congregation of 60 has anotheryear. Don Godfrey of B&D Glass, the building’'s owner, does not dispute that the 2000 date appears in the signed document. However, he insists it is a typo and that from the beginning everyone involved understood thelease to expire on Dec. 31, 1999. Both Barahona and his attorney, James Haskins, Fed Court Dismisses Suit Over State Sodomy Law BY SHAWN FOSTER THE SALT LAKETRIBUNE, A federal magistrate has dismissed an 8-year-old lawsuit that alleged the state’s sodomy and fornication laws violate a consti- tutional right to privacy. U.S. Magistrate Judge Ronald Boyce noted that Salt Lake District Attorney David Yocom has said hisoffice has priorities other than apprehending men and women having sex without the benefit of marriage. “Tt is apparent the Utah fornication and sodomy statutes are not being enforced in Salt Lake County by the...

Brian Barnard, the attorney representing W.N.J., said unlike the earlier opinion on adultery, Boyce’s current recommendation is based on procedural grounds or “lack of standing,” rather than the merits of the case. For Barnard, that is a disappointment. “This issue has been in litigation in one form or another for between 12 and 14 years,” Barnard said. “We're saying the state of Utah should not be concerned about what adults do in their Barnard’s lawsuit, filed in 1991, only addressed “non- Godfrey has acknowledged warning Barahona thet un- Jess the church can come up with a loan to ae the 5,000square-foot building for $230,000, or the lease, the pastor and his congregation could face evictotic However, Godfrey — while maintaining that the lease expires with 1999 — seemed to sound a more conciliatory note when reached late We “We would like to work it out with them,” he said. “We're detinitely not trying to be the bad people here; we won't be locking them outafter the 31st.” However,if the church remains in the building we the new year without a purchase or new lease agreement [about] whatever we can workout,” he said.

But few, except historians and eagerschoolchildren whojustfinished their Utah history lesson, know the date. Aside from the ballyhooed centennial celebra- tion four years ago, Statehood Day usually suffers in obscurity amid Christmas and New Year's celebrations. “It gets lost in the other holidays,” acknowledges Mary Peach, public information specialist with the Utah State Historical Society. “If it were a summertime party, it would be easier to arrange parades and such. I don’t think as many are aware it is Statehood Day as we would like.” Notthis time — if West Valley City leaders have anything to do ae withit, Every year, Historical Society board members pass the party around Utah communities, The 2000 statehood celebration is WestValley City’s party to throw.

The Tanners were sued in October by a subsidiary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for posting 17 pages of the book on their Utah Lighthouse Ministry Web site without permission. Attorney Brian Barnard, whois representing the Tanners, said a notice of appeal has been filed with the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver.
