thought raced through Deputy Ken Eyre's mind when he found the little girl lying in a cardboard box in a closet "1 was sure she was dead" the Salt Lake County sheriff's deputy said "You can just imagine the emotions I felt" Behind him an intoxicated man stood fidgeting sweat pouring from his body Deputy Eyre calmly drew his weapon "You are under arrest" he said West Valley police Sgt Bill McCarthy grabbed the girl Outside at the West Valley apartment complex rumors spread that she was dead "Then the officer stood up and shouted 'She's alive!' and we all cheered" said assistant apartment manager Roger Bragg For nearly five hours Thursday night family and friends frantically searched for the girl at Shadowbrook Apartments 3852 S 1842 West She disappeared at 6:15 pm while

of a cornsmall pond in the center of the plex "It was pandemonium when they found her clothes" said the girl's uncle "Everyone realized that those clothes had not been there five minutes earlier" Suspecting the girl and her abductor were in the complex police quickly cordoned off the area West Valley City police Sgt Gary Oliver-sodove into the pond to search for clues Meantime the girl's mother five days from a delivery date for her second child went into labor She was taken into her missing daughter's room where her family believed she would give birth It turned out to be a false labor Nearby neighbors noticed a man watching the crowd from his balcony overlooking the pond A resident told police the man walked back and forth from his outside storage unit to the railing He also was sweating despite standing in the chilly night air Deputy Eyre arrived about 11 pm hoping THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE out notice by the mainstream news media But Ms Wilson that amazed when longtime enemies Yitzhak Rabin and B1 300-un- information from another case might help The other case proved to be unrelated But West Valley police asked for his assistance in questioning the man The man was hesitant to help us out" Deputy Eyre said "I told him we were searching for a little girl not guns and drugs After that he gave me permission to search the balcony it area" The suspect opened a storage unit door and quickly closed it telling the deputy "See there's just garbage out here" Deputy Eyre asked the man to step aside and opened the door On the floor was the girl covered with a blanket and bound with plastic tape The girl was taken to a neighbor's apartment and strands of tape that bound her naked body were removed She was transported to Primary Children's Medical Center in Salt Lake City where she was treated and released Inside the suspect's apartment police handcuffed the man About 75 people waiting below by the pond became angry As a precaution police placed a

Home By Nancy Hobbs THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE Clarease and Cliff Dozier lived a parent's worst nightmare earlier this week in what state officials acknowledge was their mistake Mr nn7ipr arrived at an center 6 pm Tuesday to pick the up Holladay couple's twin 9- sons but the boys were not year-olafter-scho- ol d there After finding out the boys never made it to the center the Doziers initiated a neighborhood search Friends started a "phone brigade" calling school friends and others who might have any information about David's and Danny's whereabouts They called the Salt Lake County Sheriff's office and three officers arrived at their home to file a missing persons report They learned — three hours later and "quite by accident" Ms Dozier said — that their children had been taken into state custody by the Division of Family Services (DFS) The boys were taken to a shelter home 7-- ct after one of them told his school principal that his mother had hit him and he feared she would hit him again Although the children were returned to the parents the next day Ms Dozier says what happened was an atrocity that other parents should never have to endure The Doziers' first clue as to what had happened came with a call from a neighbor about 8 pm that night The neighbor remembered seeing hnuc get intn a sheriff's natrol car before the end of school The deputies soon determined that the children had been placed in protective custody with Salt Lake County's Youth Services Mr Dozier called the shelter system at about 9 pm and confirmed the boys were there but as is standard procedure he was not allowed to talk to the children Nor were the children allowed to call their parents Ms Dozier said their first "formal" notification came the next morning with a call informing the parents

If any land users are being subsidized it's the recreationists and tourists who use them without any fees at all" The fight over higher grazing fees and range reforms supported by Mr Bait and opposed by Mr Tanner is being waged in the Senate where Westerners are leading a filibuster to block passage of the public-- Interior Department's appropriations bill The bill includes provisions that would mandate practices and raise the fee during a three-yea- r grazing period from $186 per animal unit month (AUM) to $345 An AUM is the amount of forage required by a cow and calf or by five sheep A vote late Thursday to end the filibuster was several votes short and several absent senators are known to oppose the changes proposed by Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt If the filibuster ultimately succeeds Mr Babbitt could acquiesce and accept the Senate preference for a year of study Or he could implement the reforms — and even higher grazing fees — range-improveme- nt administratively Mr Rait does not want him to back off "The administration proposal already was a compromise" he said "The bitter pill of grazing reform will become only more bitter down the line" Mr Bennett however said that if Mr Babbitt plays "hard ball" and enacts his proposal without congressional approval the Interior Department will be taken to court by a broad-basegroup of opponents "This issue has solidified the West" he said While supportive of a grazing fee increase over a longer period Mr Bennett said he is "not so sure there needs to be reforms" d II See B-- 2 Column 4 Community Council Says Taylorsville Is No Place for Home Depot to Settle By Jon Ure THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE Home Depot the nation's largest construction retailer was told Thursday night not to make itself at home in Taylorsville ComThe Taylorsville-Bennion munity Council rejected the store's request for commercial zoning of Taylorsville Park at 4721 S Redwood Road and 11 adjacent acres David Winnie who represents chain said Frithe Atlanta-baseday the company will ask the Salt Lake County Planning Commission to go ahead with Home Depot's proposed change to the masre- re d ter plan and zoning The Community Council which can only advise commissioners has no power to nix the plan Home Depot wants the green space to add to an option it holds on adjacent land to the south It has promised to replace the park with a larger one in the area But residents near the park overflowed meeting chambers Thursday night to protest the proposed zoning change "The general feeling was that we really don't need another store like that with so many others in the area" said Patricia Swartz a ld Community Council member Wal-MaErnst Home Club Home Centers Kmart Fred Meyrt er and ShopKo stores are all located nearby "If it means giving up Taylorsville Park we don't want it at all" Ms Swartz said "The No 1 concern was heavy traffic generated by Home Depot" said Bruce Wasden chairman of the Community Council "No 2 is there really isn't the need for another business of this type within a mile or two of these other businesses" Home Depot representatives said traffic is already heavy in the area Mr Winnie said that under current zoning apartments could be built on the property adjacent to Taylorsville Park "Somebody could build 160 reunits plus a 20000 square-foo- t tail establishment under the current zoning" Mr Winnie said "When a traffic study is completed it will show that Home Depot has less impact than what current zoning would allow" He added that residents could be trading a park for one that's 20 to 25 acres "We want to be a good neighbor" Mr Winnie said Mr Winnie said Home Depot plans to build five stores in Utah: three in Salt Lake County one in Orem and another in the county area high-densit- y re Davis-Web- CORRECTION Mark Trahant will read from A Circle of Nations Monday at 7:30 pm at A Woman's Place Bookstore 1890 Bonanza Drive Park City Mary Morris will read from Maiden Voyages Monday at 7:30 pm at A Woman's Place Bookstore in the Cottonwood Mall 4835 Highland Drive Salt Lake City The two literary readings were incorrectly listed in The Salt Lake Tribune's Calendar section Friday r"'"'""e Funny Money Auction: Customers shopping at South Towne Mall can bid funny money for merchandise 1 pm today Center Court 10600 South and State Sandy 1 Rock at Saltain The Cowie's Catherine Wheel and My Sister Jane will perform 7:30 tonight Saltair Resort Exit 104 Tickets $16 Dinosaur exhibit A Global View of dinosaurs free admission day 9:30 am today Utah Museum of Natural History University of Utah 200 S University Street Utah Index: $1274 $1105 — Per capita state and local expenditures for education in Utah 1991 — Per capita state and local expenditures for education in Idaho 1991 Last Word: "You can't ever be really free if you admire somebody too much — Tove Jonsson Tales from MoomInvalley (1963) Source: State Rankings 1993 edition A - AMMW0 er |
