Show Opposition to Draper Annexation Wanes Continued From B-- l in June 1985 and presented the signatures of land owners as well as the company to the Draper city Council Dec. 5. The city council set the public hearing for Jan. 16. Objections can be filed until Jan. 23 and the city council will consider the annexation Feb. 6. phase, and indicated that Alpine and Highland would certainly be involved in questions of road access. "It is possible the road design could be more beneficial to your residents than to ours, Mr. Wall said. Mr. Wall added that if objections force the project before the Utah County Boundaries Commission, the project is dead. We will not go before the boundaries commission." The industrial and commercial development is located in the Salt Lake County portion of Draper because it is separate constructed along a and the residential comfreeway munity needs support from this tax base, he said. Andrew Hatten-WarDraper City administrator, said the filing of the plat, the final step in annexation, will be delayed by the city council until July and the ordinance will not be passed until Estes buys the land. Charles Lloyd, Alpine School District finance director, said construc Opposition to this time frame was voiced, but Mr. Wall said his company would agree to allow Alpine, Highland, Lehi, the Alpine School District, the Timpanogos Sewer District and Utah County to place an objection until Jan. 23. Any objection will immediately kill the project, Mr. Wall said. "We cannot delay because of the time constraints on our options. This schedule allows us four months to make the hard engineering study before the options end in July, he said. He said the cities and county would have a say during this h period, especially the county on flood control and the sewer district on that four-mont- tion of the building would be the big- gest problem faced there. The uniform distribution act in Utah would help with the operations of the school system. He said the area is eventually going to be developed by the year 2000 and it is a question of who is going to develop it. He said it could require 15 schools when complete. Water will be tovided through a contract between Draper City and the Salt Lake County Water Conservancy District. Some ground in the area was annexed by the water conservancy district several years ago and studies are being made to see if any of this land is involved, Mr. Hatten-Ward said. After Mr. Lloyd's statement an assurance that they will be consulted during the hard engineering phase, several expressed relief they will not have to worry about the development if the project moves forward through Draper.

Our board of education and district leaders wanted to create a week of activities before that date so students could learn what it is about.

"This is not a holiday for rest and frivolity, said Mrs. Henry.

Christ of Latter-da- y U.S. District Judge David K. Winder Monday said he would enter final judgment in Arthur Frank Mayson's case, which will allow the appeals pi ocejs to begin. Mr. Mayson is among eight people d businesses fired from suit in 1983 who filed a class-actioclaiming they were involved in secular jobs and thus protected from discrimination by the Civil Rights Act. They were fired between 1980 and 1983 because they did not have temple recommends. Attorneys for the Corporation of the Presiding Bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, defendant in their case, have indicated they plan to appeal Judge Winder's finding that Mr. Mayson was unlawfully fired from his job as Deseret Gym building engineer. Attorneys for the American Civil Liberties Union, who represent Mr. Mayson and the seven other former employees, asked Judge Winder to enter the final judgment on Mr. May-sonclaim. Normally, final judgment would not be entered until Judge Winder de cided the claims of the remaining plaintiffs, said Elizabeth T. Dunning, one of the volunteer ACLU attorneys representing Mr. Mayson and the other former employees. But Mr. Mayson is in his 60s, approaching retirement age and is anxious for the case to be closed, she said. Last month, Judge Winder ordered the church to pay Mr. Mayson nearly 56,000 in back wages and reinstate him in his Deseret Gym position. ' LDS-owne- In found Judge Winder was unlawfully fired because "there is nothing in the running or purpose of Deseret Gym that suggests that it was intended to spread or teach the religious beliefs and doctrine and practices of sacred ritual of the Mormon Church n Januaiy 1984 Mr. Mayson ... Last September, however, Judge Winder dismissed the claims of a 'ruck dri'-efor Deseret Industries, ruling ht relationship between the activities of Deseret Industries and the relijVuS tenets of the church is intimate. The claims of six women fird from their jobs with Beehive Clothing Mills remain pending. In his September ruling, Judge Winder found that issues of fact remain with regard to the relationship between Beehive Clothing Mills and the tenets and religious rituals of the church. r 's Banquet, Speeches militarism, unemployment, and violence.

The banquet will feature a videotape presentation on Dr. King by the schools media specialist, Sheridan Prince, and a presentation by the West High Improvisational Group, made up of several students. cited Dr. King's contributions to American society. In a statement marking the holiday, Superintendent John Bennion He made an enormous contribution toward reducing prejudice, discrimination and inequality in the U.S. His vision of having his children judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character is much closer to reality now because of his leadership in challenging and combating the institutions and forces of discrimination that have plagued the U.S. since the days of slavery, he said. As we reflect on the life and ideals of Martin Luther King, we in the Salt Lake City School District reaffirm our commitment to respect and cherish the inherent worth of every individual regardless of race, color, creed, jx.. tical or religious persuasion, said Dr. Following the meal, students from West, South, East and Highland high schools will participate in a march to learn what the original march was about and why it took place. Students will gather at the Federal Building at 125 S. State at 1:30 p.m., and then march up to the State Capitol Rotunda, where they will hear brief remarks from Mayor Palmer DePaulis, the Rev. France Davis, and J.D. Williams, professor of political science at the University of Utah. A gospel choir from South High School will also participate. Bennion.

Southwest Val Southern Utah Forecast Tuesday, B-- Nov. 2, 1983. Area Forecast The Salt Lake Tribune, Judge Raymond S. Uno on Monday took under advisement arguments by Emery Minings attorneys, who contended that Mr. Simonelli should not be able to retain Suzanne Dallimore hs his legal counsel because she was privy to information unavailable to private attorneys while she worked in the state Attorney Generals office. Ms. Dallimore maintained her previous employment did not give her access to additional information. She also argued that her experience with the case was necessary to give Mr. Simonelli a fair chance, contending he had difficulty finding lawyers willing to take his case against Emery Mining and, ultimately, Utah Power and Light Co. Emery Mining's attorneys said Mr. Simonelli didn't look hard enough to find an attorney other than Ms. Dallimore. UP&L awarded Emery Mining a contract to operate its four central Utah coal mines, a move criticized in some quarters because the utility did not go through the competitive bidding process. The utility is paying Emery Minings extensive legal fees in repudiating Mr. Simonellis allegations of waste and mismanagement. In 1984 hearings before the Public Service Commission, Mr. Simonelli, an auditor fired by Emery Mining, alleged that he was aware of 82 instances of waste and mismanagement by the company, costing tax1 million a year. Ms. payers Dallimore represented the state during the PSC hearings. Mr. Simonellis allegations were dismissed subsequently for lack of evidence, although the PSC ordered the state Division of Public Utilities to investigate IT&Ls coal Emery Mining then filed a lawsuit against Mr. Simonelli, who in turn filed a 10 million lawsuit against his former employer, charging that Emery Mining attempted to harass and intimidate him in retaliation for his allegations. The companys attorneys told Judge Uno that Ms. Dallimores previous employment with the state Attorney Generals office gave her access to information, through subpoenas and discussions with other attorneys and investigators in that office, which might not be available to Emery Minings legal staff. We dont know, said attorney James B. Lee. He pointed, for example, to Ms. Dallimores working association in the Attorney Generals office with investigator Wayne L. Wickizer, who was involved in a lengthy probe of the activities of UP&L employees and then appeared late last year before 3rd District judges who ordered a grand jury impaneled, in part to investigate UP&L. She denied that contention, main- er taining she had spent no more time in analyzing, reviewing and thinking about the case than had Emery MinWere even, she ings attorneys. said, adding that Mr. Simonelli would be at a far greater disadvantage if she is disqualified than Emery Mining would be if she is allowed to remain. George M. Haley, the attorney for Emery Mining owner Neal Savage, also argued that Ms. Dallimores presence in the case was injurious to the reputation of attorneys and government employees. It gives the public the impression that an individual can learn extensively about a subject at state expense, then leave government service and make large sums of money in the private sector because of that expertise, he said. Mr. Haley said Ms. Dallimore stands to receive 40 percent of the 10 million sought by Mr. Simonelli, contingent on winning the case. Ms. Dallimore countered that she is not taking unfair advantage of her former position- Prospective Grand Jury Members To Be Interviewed This Week Presiding 3rd District Judge Philip R. Fishier said Monday he will begin interviewing prospective grand jurors this week and the panel should be sworn in to begin hearing evidence next week. Judge Fishier added it has not yet been determined who will act as special prosecutor to the special grand jury. He said the panel of 14 3rd District judges will meet this week to determine whether the attorney generals office will be disqualified and outside counsel appointed The judges two weeks ago voted to the impanel a special grand jury first in Salt Lake County in 11 years to investigate possible wrongdoing by the Salt Lake County Attorneys Office and Utah Power & Light Co. seven-memb- Sirrce the county attorneys office is the focus of the grand jury investigation, it is unlikely a prosecutor from that office will be chosen as counsel for the grand jury. And while statutes say the Utah Attorney Generals Office is empowered to pick the special prosecutor, Judge Fishier said the attorney generals office may be disqualified. Attorney General David L. Wilkinson is Salt Lake County Attorney Ted L. Cannons former chief deputy, which may lead to the appearance of a conflict of interest. Judge Fishier, as presiding judge in the 3rd Judicial District, will personally question the prospective jurors before the grand jury is chosen and sworn. . |
