immediately after the crash roaming the neighborhood blessing bodies wherever he found them That night he was unable to sleep "It was just as well because I was afraid of the nightmares I would've had" he said His nights are restful enough now but there's still one persistent worry "My one quirk that continues to be with me is the continuous planes going over this area" which is directly under the flight path of jets bound for the main airport he said The accident touched anyone who was directly involved even some who had no connection Averett said Those seeking help included a SkyWest Airlines ticket clerk in Pocatello who had talked with the six passengers of Flight 1834 be- - airspace Within hours of the disaster Averett and a team of social workers had set up a crisis hotline and scheduled community counseling sessions In the ensuing weeks they would talk to nearly 200 people who were unable to forget what they had seen "They've lost something lost their innocence" he said "It's really a lot of grief reaction They realize life is really fragile" For most the initial shock has dissipated counselors say but like the deep gouge etched into St Francis Xavier School by a falling body some painful memories cannot be erased "This is the kind of thing that is always going to be with you" says Fischer whose serene parish church became the command post for rescue and investigation teams Proposal to limit home Is ' ' Jf r U si ' ' "lN' iS businesses Examiner start WASHINGTON TERRACE — City officials are proposing an ordinance to more closely regulate businesses operated from homes o now in the The ordinance drafting stage is more specific than the city's current ordinance which has been hard to enforce said building and zoning official Paul Tippets Violations of the proposed ordinance would be considered misdemeanors — the maximum penalty would be a $299 fine and a jail term But Tippets said existing home businesses even those not conforming to the ordinance at the time of its proposed adoption would not be penalized The proposal would give existing businesses a grace period to end outlawed activity The proposed ordinance still has to be reviewed by the city attorney and will go before city council members at the next scheduled meeting for possible changes and recommendations Final adoption would occur at the following council meeting Tippets said Two major changes proposed in ordirewriting the nance are that all employees of a home business must live in the house and signs and advertising are not allowed outside the home Most other changes define types of businesses prohibited in homes: animal hospitals appliance repair ceramics health studios motor vehicle repair small engine repair and doctor's offices Such businesses could "grow to be too big for the home" Tippets said Under the proposal child day care in a home could not be extended to more than six children And parking for a home business beyond what is needed for the occupant's own use would be prohibited under the proposal The measure spells out that the city would have authority to take action in Justice of the Peace Court against any home business that became a public nuisance TV " j i 4 i : U U - U'IU - w' " O - "1x"s 3 1 OO r '7 6lar Kocstta'Standard Examiner A washdown after the cheese-and-appl- Pete Prescott of Uintah washes down his trailer

(AP) — A proposal to combine primaries and mass political meetings in several western states into one large presidential poll for 1988 has yet to get off the ground Utah political leaders say Utah and other states in the West began discussing the idea after seven Southern states joined in a massive presidential primary for March 8 By CHERYL ARCHIBALD Standard fore they boarded for the fateful trip to Salt Lake City They also included school children who had seen the tw o planes hit police officers and deputies who spent hours scouring the snow drifts looking for bodies and even reporters who found it difficult to cling to their role of impartial observer "Those that were allowed to talk about it are handling it" Averett said The 80 students at St Francis Xavier School were evacuated from a side door and did not see the carnage around them One day shortly after the crash a teacher instructed her class to draw pictures of people helping other people Averett said "They were all about the crash site It was very interesting I told the teacher I wanted them to do the same exercise in six months I By pooling their primary dates into one "Super Tuesday" Southern state party bosses sought to increase candidate attention national media coverage and strengthen their political clout are Such thought by some to be a partial cure for small states unsatisfied with state delegate allocation which is for the most part determined by the state's population For 1988 the Utah Democratic Party will get 27 delegates to the national convention California will get more than 200 "Most of the mountain states have a population similar to that of Utah's We all get 20 to 35 delegates — I think Arizona gets 39" says Democratic Party Executive Director Blaze Wharton In 1984 Utah Republicans got 26 delegates and California got 174 said Utah GOP Executive Director Gregg McDonough The Utah GOP hasn't yet received its 1988 delegate count he said By holding primaries or mass meetings at the same time Mountain West states could in effect pool their delegate strength to get the attention of presidential candidates regional politicos feel "(The candidates) may not actually visit Utah but they'd certainly visit the Mountain West and they'd listen to our regional concerns" Wharton said But proponents acknowledge -- the changes for a regional primary are fading "I don't see a Western primary gelling right now" says former Democratic Gov Scott M a regional and national party leader "But we should continue talking about it" To make the work would require a coordinated effort among Intermountain West state legislatures "And experience tells us that is tough to get" added Deputy Lt Gov David Hansen Utah's election officer says a regional primary would require participating states to adopt the same election day probably a Tuesday in the first two weeks of April 1988 Other states such as Utah that have mass meetings or caucuses would have to move them to the Monday night before the other states' Tuesday primary election The mass meeting delegate counts would be tabulated national delegates proportioned according to each candidate's strength and soon after the Tuesday night elections the results of the different states' choices announced Hansen said While it would be relatively simple to move Utah's mass meetings date it would take legislative action to set primary dates in other states he said "The feeling is that a Mountain West primary is dead right now In talking with other state election officers I'm hearing 'Let's wait and see how Super Tuesday goes in the South in 1988 and look to 1992 for us'" Hansen said One of the rare optimists on the issue is Democratic state party Chairman Randy Horiuchi He says the idea of a Western or Mountain West primary "will be kicked around" during a regional meeting of the National Democratic Party this month "It's not dead not yet" Horiuchi said "Hey we Democrats will even change our mass meetings to accommodate the Republicans No problem" SLC trying to salvage Hotel Utah conventions SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — In the wake of the Mormon Church's closure of its downtown Hotel Utah here effective Aug 31 the Salt Lake Convention and Visitors Bureau is trying to save the hotel's future meetings and conventions for the city Bureau President Rick Davis said he has assigned seven of his staffers to calling more than 200 convention groups scheduled for conferences at the ornate hostelry p3st August The bookings extend into 19v6 he said On Thursday after church officials said they planned to remodel the Hotel Utah to make room offices chapel for and ward space Davis met with the managers of the city's eight largest hotels to draft a plan to advise convention groups across the country of the closure and convince them to keep their meeting in Salt lake City "Our plan of action is to quickly follow up and let people know we have accommodations for them in oiher hotels" Davis said "Over the long term we are poing to sec what we can do to sell Salt Lake City in the same way as in the past even though it means doing it without the 5(X) rooms of the Hotel Utah — one of the handful of major hotels Salt Lake City has to offer large convention groups" The guest rooms are just part of the loss Davis said Another is the loss of a Grand Ballroom the largest in the city "That's really a blow so we have to sec what we can do about major convention banquets Can we now push in some way to get a larger facility in the Salt Palace to replace that ballroom? That's something we'll have to seriously explore" Davis said The Grand Ballroom scats 1500 Next largest is the Hilton which seats 1100 followed by Little America the Marriott and the Sheraton all of which scat about 1000 Davis said there isn't much gloating among competing Salt Lake hoteliers over the closing "No one is cheering It's true that in the they will recover a lot of business now going to Hotel Utah but they are looking at the prospects as well and asking themselves how we can make up that loss of 500 rooms from the city's inventory" he said The loss of 500 rooms represents about 10 percent of the city's inventory of "first class" hotel rooms Davis said |
