Holy Cross Officials Silent By Lance S Gudmundsen THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE CathoKimberly Day calls the lic chapel at Holy Cross Hospital a "little jewel" Yet in hospital corridors she says the word is the chapel is targeted for a wrecker's ball Ms Day a veteran operating-roonurse adds that officials have told the staff it simply is too expensive to bring the earthquake-pron- e chapel up to standard But the precise solution remains elusive Holy Cross administrators acknowledge that remodeling — and possibly expansion plans are in the works But officials consistently sidestep the question of the fate of the chapel — the Catholic church in Utah It is predated only by churches in Park City and Eureka David L Jones vice president for service development of Holy Cross Health Services of Utah said this week the hospital at 1050 E South Temple will undergo "some remodeling and reconfiguring to stay on that historic site" Until officials develop a master plan late this year or in the spring of 1993 he added it is premature to speculate if the old chapel will be included in the plan "But we have to be prepared to do what is best for the site as a whole" Mr Jones said the hospital's "first purpose" is health care "We must be true to That portion of our ministry" : third-olde- st A place for prayer he continued also is necessary to fulfill the spiritual aspect of the Holy Cross mission but he remained noncommittal on the exact fate of the present chapel Ms Day recounted a meeting in late August where Dale Austin hospital vice president in charge of nursing services outlined renovation plans A colleague "turned to me and whispered: 'Kim they're tearing down the chapel' "I asked Mr Austin 'Is that true?' And he said yes" technician who Sherri Lize lac an took minutes of the session confirms Mr Austin's response Calls to Mr Austin are referred to the hospital's office of community relations In turn that office refers inquiries to Robert Ladenburger the hospital president And Mr Ladenburger asks callers to contact Mr Jones Even the hospital's chaplain is mute on the issue "I've been told not to give out any information" said the Rev David Van Masseny hove Patients seldom use the chapel preferring to take Holy Communion at their bedsides says Deacon Lynn R Johnson "The chapel primarily is for patients' families and friends — for prayers and for contempla- tion" Headquartered in South Bend Ind Holy Cross Hospital System operates nine major corporations in seven states The sponsoring congregation is the Sisters of the Holy Cross The Romanesque Revival-stylchapel remains virtually unchanged since it was consecrated in 1904 Ms Day who holds a master's degree in Western history believes the chapel's craftsmanship and historical significance may be lost on the hospital hierarchy Jenkyn Powell a Salt Lake City stained-glas- s artisan says the windows are "exquisite and irreplaceable" Sections are painted he acknowledges s but so are those in Tiffany windows Other sections "are enameled It's almost a lost art stained and leaded health-car- e e world-famou- But rarely do the two groups fight But the verbal warfare turned violent Tuesday when about 60 students described only as attacked a group of 20 cowin school's the parking lot boys The cowboys tried to escape but several were cornered by the angry mob One boy jumped onto the hood of a truck and began boy smashing the windshield The broke his leg when he was thrown to the pavement as the driver sped out of the parking lot "One person told us that someone walked up and said 'Anyone who wants to kick butt on cowboys let's go' " said principal Michael Cannon "It looks as if we have a verbal con By David Clifton Wearing a cowboy hat at Taylorsville High School can be dangerous to your health "Cowboys" are teased about the black hats large belt buckles and boots they wear The boys are jeered for the trucks they drive and the girls they date "They are picked on by everybody when all they are trying to be is different" said Jeff Bulk ley a friend of several of the school's "non-cowboys- cowboys In retaliation the cowboys poke fun at their rivals and taunt them into backing up the bad words about their apparel said Jeff a senior " comes "This commission horse-racin- g is going to turn into a bureaucratic black hole that just sucks taxpayers money away- Mr Rice - said spokesman Jon Freston called opponents' $900000 commission price tag "absurd" "It's way out in space" he said "No matter who does the math parimutuel always makes money for the state" He said the state estimate of $212000 was much more in line with the $250000 projected by his group Citizens to Put Utah First But while agreeing with the estimated commission cost Mr Freston said the voter pamphlet estimate of $75 million in total parimutuel wagering annually is far too low "They must be talking about one racetrack that runs summer days If it passes in more than one county then these figures are ridiculously low" Mr Freston said An earlier study by the independent Utah Foundation estimated possible annual parimutuel wagering in Utah of nearly $21 million Young Victims llothers Applaud Sex Abuser's Sentence 18-Ye- ar By Nuttall first made headlines Stephen Hunt THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE Sex abuser Ben Earl Nuttall received such a long prison sentence Wednesday that he will probably die behind bars — and that's just fine with the mothers of two young children he abused Nuttall must serve a minimum when he was honored as a "citizen hero" by Salt Lake City police for chasing down a man suspected of robbing two British tourists just three months before the sex The mother of a girl abused by Nuttall said: "I am ecstatic If he doesn't get out to harm another child nothing could be better" The women smiled and hugged each other in the courtrocm after 3rd District Judge Anne Stirba hit Nuttall with the harshest sentence allowed by law His victims were a boy and two girls 8 and 11 years old During two bizarre orgies at a West Valley City home in August 1990 Nuttall forced the children to have sexual intercourse with each other while he took photos He also sexually abused the children and forced them to watch movies Nuttall threatened to kill at least one of the children and the child's family in an attempt to silence the child But a child did tell When Nuttall learned police were investigating he fled the state He was arrested in New Hampshire in February crimes occurred He was originally charged with nine felony counts including aggravated sexual abuse of a child child sodomy object rape of a child sexual exploitation of a minor and dealing in material harmful to a minor But a day before trial Nu tia 11 pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a child felonies carrying possible minimummandatory terms of 3 6 or 9 years with life as a possible maximum The judge called the crimes "absolutely horrible" and gave Nuttall the maximum: two conminimummandasecutive tory terms totaling 18 years Nuttall told the judge he didn't want to be back on the streets until he got some help "I don't want to hurt anyone else" he said "I pray to God these kids come out OK" Nuttall admits he has been a pedophile all his life He has an extensive history of sexually abusing children but this was the first incident brought to the attention of authorities Nuttall said he sought help 15 to 20 years ago but "20 years ago they didn't have the programs they do now" After the hearing the mother of a victim scoffed at that statement "He said 20 years ago there was no help But five years ago there was and three years ago there was" Racism on Women of Color YWCA Noontime Network: How "Just for Love" Dixieland Festival racism impacts women of color as friends noon YWCA 322 E 300 South Salt Lake City 7:30 today" Archives show the chapel and its furnishings cost $122654 when it was built In terms of 1992 dollars that translates to some $2 million Carl M Neuhausen was the architect The Italianate flavor of the chapel's interior — a domed sanctuary delicate pillars and restrained use of gold leaf — reflects the taste of New Orleans designer Archille Perelli The chapel was added to the state Register of Historic Sites in 1980 largely through efforts of Ms Day's late father Dr Dean L Day who practiced medicine at Holy Cross for more than 30 years and served as hospital chief of staff "My father's memorial service was in this chapel" she said "Even though he was a just as I am non-Cathol- ic Violence on High School 'Cowboys' May Grow Taylorsville Officials Fear THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE r "decent" portrayal of Howe-te- r said he it expenses does not reflect far greater spending as parimutuel betting befirst-yea- pari-mutu- ' out" said Mr Bradley The commission accepted suggestions on how the referendum should read but had to eliminate some of it because it was too vague or too promotional he said "It had to do with what spin people wanted to put on it" said Mr Bradley "We wanted it to have a neutral spin" get THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE o it and intolerable" Both Sides Attack Figures hi Parimutuel Analysis ' — ''' k ! 7' : 1 I -
