Show !ui f'X, mfm iii n j Thursday, June THE GREEN SHEET 3 16, 1988 FROM PAGE ONE Less Restrictive Sign Ordinance Sought Execution Witness side. We walked over to the window and were asked to speak softly because only a thin wall separated us from Bishops personal witnesses and it would be courteous to give then as much privacy as possible. My one moment of weakness came then, as I faced that curtain, and I almost wished it would never open. But it did, and there, about a yard before my eyes were Bishops bare feet. His white jump suit appeared to me to be padded, and he was secured to the gurney with three leather straps on each leg, three on each arm and the same on his torso. His hands were in clear view as well as his feet, but his face, (perhaps I am too short) was hidden behind the large chest. Gary DeLand (Executive Director, Board of Corrections) and Warden Gerald Cook were in the room and that was all. I heard a loud sob and cry from the private witness room, and saw a face loom close to the shadowed window. Bishops face lifted toward her and his expression was one of anguish and fear. His fingers moved, his toes twitched, twice his chest heaved (I thought in sobs) and that was all. Ten minutes later a doctor entered the room, checked Bishops eyes, opened his shirt, listened to his heart, pricked his now bluegrey fingers, stepped back and let another four minutes pass. He repeated those three tests and then DeLand opened a manila envelope, took out the death pipes overhead. There was no ceiling, just four cement walls and, now, five impassive guards and us moving freely around. We then were taken to the cell where bishop spent his last day. It was about 10x10. Bara, unpainted cement, a cot with about a two-inc- h mattress, an open shower, toilet and a high mirror so that the guards outside would watch his every move. When we were ready, all questions answered and the cameramen satisfied, we again walked down the same cement, guarded halls, (the two women guards were still there) and we went out into the vans. We were stopped again at all gates, our passes examined and then back to the media room where we were given our watches, glasses and I, my purse and bag. The media room was crowded when we entered. Many police, officers as well as dozens of reporters were there. They had found, as I had, that its a long night of wait, wait, wait, and unless you are a TV crewman or a witness, you might as well wait at home and get there around 10:30 p.m. It was a long night. The Warden, DeLand, and the State Attorney General reported to the crowd what had happened and then it was open to questions. We nine witnesses were asked to step to the front and if anyone wanted to ask of us they could. But they knew what they needed by then and within minutes we were lined up to get our driver licenses back. Its a technique they use for control. You get your pass only by giving up your license and you get that license back only by certificate and the men signed it. That was all there was to it; the execution was over and the curtain closed. We were taken, always well surrounded by guards, to a nearby room and were free to ask all relinquishing the pass. Soon the freeway was one long line of cars the questions we wished. "Yes, it was the same room Gilmore and Selby had died in," "Bishop had streaming back to Salt Lake and I arrived home entered that room only about 12 minutes ahead of about 3:15 a.m. I washed, but was too weary for a time to get on that table, be strapped and have bath, made myself a couple of slices of toast, a the needles inserted in his arms." glass of milk, crawled into bed, ate and read a So it went for about half an hour and then we couple of pages of a book and then turned out the were taken back to the execution chamber, light and slept the sleep of the peaceful. That whole night, quite consciously, I had kept entered and walked around. The camera men were allowed in and only then did I see that we myself an observer, never a participant, and I was were in a warehouse and Bishops last sight of his at peace. I hope for Bishop and everyone whose life was of rafters and ventilating life he touched, the same. WEST VALLEY. Pressure from area home builders could result in a less restrictive subdivision sign ordinance at tonights city council session. The council will will hold a public hearing to consider an to amendment its current subdivision sign ordinance that would allow subdivision signs to swell by some 30 percent. The current ordinance allows a single sign per subdivision not exceeding 64 square feet. The amended ordinance would allow signs of 96 square feet. The proposed ordinance would also some language more change clearly defining existing rules. "I would like to cut these guys some slack and get these houses Councilwoman Janice sold," Fisher said at Tuesdays work session. Probably every homebuilder in the city is violating one or more aspect of the current sign ordinance, community development director Joseph Moore told Those dont wants around your house are probably do wants for someone else.

The council will also hear an appeal by Rindlesbach Construction, Inc., which is one of the developers which says the current sign ordinance is too restrictive, for additional funds for property the city condemned for a park. 'We consider a compensation of $13,464 for lots worth $72,000 to be an unfair and unjust consideration," Rindlesbach vice Rindlesbach Mark president wrote in a letter to Newman. The council wont take any action on the matter tonight on the advice on Newman, who said Rindlesbach should have its opportunity to argue the case. The council will discuss the matter at its next study session. In other action in tonights 6 p.m. council session at 2470 South Redwood Road, council members consider will an ordinance outlining specific acts which contribute to the delinquency of a minor, hold a public hearing and decide if it should vacate a street Fathers Redevelopment Continued from page 1 told RDA members this week. The RDA wants plans to be focused on commercialretail or office development, and Catten said the detailed proposals must meet all city zoning ordinances. The resolution adopted by the RDA which is also the city council - said the seven-acr- e site should "provide an integrated, well- safe and pleasing, -- maintained commercialretail with environment, aesthetic appeal within t1 e commercial center and for surrounding areas. The RDA Tuesday also adopted a resolution which would initiate a blight study on property the city recently annexed in the area near Hercules.

After listening to objections from nearby homeowners in Magna, the commission sent the matter to the Magna community councils for their consideration and input. The main objection from several nearby residents was the desire not to have such a facility located next to or behind their homes. In a zoning hearing and decision, the commission approved a request from U. Shaun Michel, 6191 So. 3840 West to rezone that property from residential to multiple use to allow use of the home as a real estate office. In other zoning matters, the commission held a hearing on a request from Joyce Bezzant to to residential rezone from commercial, her property at 8226 W. 3500 South.
