Denice McMullin, occupant, said the explosion that occurred at 10:30 a.m. moved the trailer from its foundation. "If the trailer did not have a strong porch, I believe it would have been moved into my yard," she said. The explosion was from a gas leak that occurred when workers were placing a meter on a natural gas line and removing a gas line that was under the trailer. Gas from the line collected under the trailer and was ignited by a pilot light inside the trailer. A neighbor and a fence crew responded to the fire and put much of it out.

BRIGHAM CITY The out an estimated $93,000 as city paid defendants in a series of lawsuits which began in 1986 and ended this year with a ruling by the Utah Supreme Court on a related suit filed by local resident Leo Walker. Roger Handy, city administrator, traced the history of the lawsuits noting "a substantial amount of change" adding up to $67,500 had been paid to outside counsel hired by the city. Starting off with a petition against development of the golf course by Citizens for a Better Brigham City, the first suit was filed against the Redevelopment Agency dealing with Intermountain school properties. The second suit, filed by Leo Walker, claimed Brigham City's practice of selling electric power at market rates and transferring profits into the general fund was both unconstitutional and unreasonable. The civil rights claims were dismissed and a court decision determined that Brigham City's utility transfer was "legal and proper." "The city bears no ill will against Leo Walker. He stood up for his belief and he has the right to do so," added Handy as discussion of the . court case concluded. Box Elder News Journal. -- During the public hearing portion of the meeting, City Planner Blaine Gehring said it was with great satisfaction that he presented the new draft of the zoning ordinance to the council and the residents of Bountiful. The boundaries of most zones have been kept intact and the new ordinance is easier to understand and should be better to enforce and manage, Gehring said. Among the changes are a new Hospital Zone, a mountain zone for watershed protection and more traditional use of residential zoning throughout the city. A new chapter and concept called the Incentive Density Bonus has been added. It is designed to provide Bountiful with controls over the quality of multiple unit and planned unit developments. It is intended to encourage higher quality Runners and bicycle enthusiasts will get a chance to enjoy themselves in new surroundings Saturday, Aug. 7, on a scenic course along the shore line of the Great Salt Lake on the newly opened Antelope Island. runner Demitrio Cabanillas, director of the 5K run and 10K bike hike, said he is World-clas- s excited about the course. "This is one of the most beautiful runs in the state. I have participated in runs in many countries and few courses provide this kind of beauty. This will be a runner's dream. They will love it," he said. The event is being sponsored by Davis County and the Davis County Clipper in an effort to make more people aware of the the beautiful, unpolished island, gem that we have in our county, and to help victims of violence," said Clipper Managing Editor Judy Jensen. Profits from the races will be donated to the Davis County Citizens Coalition Against Violence. The goal of the coalition is to raise funds to build a shelter for families that are victims of commit a disproportionate amount of crime. Utah has fifty percent more teenagers than the typical state. Is Utahs crime rate higher than the national average as might be expected? How does drug use in Utah compare with the nation as a whole? These issues and many others are addressed in the "Report to Utah on Crime and Justice" released by the Utah Commission oi) Criminal and Juvenile Justice. The report is directed to the citizens of Utah and attempts to inform Utahns about the status of crime in Utah, about the functioning and coordination of Utah's criminal and juvenile justice agencies, and about specialized criminal justice issues such as drug related crime and child sexual abuse. It is the Commission's hope that through this report, citizens will Utah's criminal and justice system. Utah is unique. With a median age of 25.7 years, Utah has the youngest population of any state in the nation. Younger people are generally arrested at a higher rate than older people. Therefore, it would not be unrealistic to generalize that Utah should have one of the highest crime rates in the nation. However, comparing violent and property crime between Utah and the United States, Utah's crime rates are well below the national average on all routinely reported crimes except rape and larceny. The report addresses other interesting information about crime. For example, a larger proportion of crime occurs between the hours of 8 p.m. and 2 p.m. The report also suggests reasons why gam a bcitcr understanding of off-stre- et Mont J. Mickelson asked the city not to allow commercial make comments on the new zoning ordinance. Most of the comments were specific questions on how it would affect their own property. Resident Jack Billings said the encroachments on residential areas as at Brentwood Circle. He said commercial could creep into that neighborhood with conditional Use permits if the language isn't clear. Gehring told Mickelson that the new language governing conditional use permits had been made stronger and more specific not more general. Paul Baird questioned whether a home in the new Hospital Zone could remain unoccupied for six months and remain residential. He feared the residential use could be lost if not occupied. Just because its vacant it doesn't mean it can be changed. It must be changed by a hearing, Gehring said. Ann Wilcox, representing the Concerned Citizens of Bountiful (CCOB) complimented the city for the new ordinance and asked the questioned developers only holding options to buy property should be involved in zone change hearings as was the case with Dick's Market a few weeks ago. particularly concerned with foothill regulations and PUD's. The city ordinances are only as valuable as the way they are implemented, Wilcox cautioned the council. Among the changes were penalties for violating the ordinance to be compatible with state statues. Fines will be Class C misdemeanor. Gehring added that changes were made to the fencing requirements which many owners of corner lots have found overly restrictive. Nine residents took the opportunity to ask questions and ordinance should provide better notification to the public of possible zone changes. He also council to consider each zone change with care.

Stabber pleads guilty to attempted murder By MARK EDDINGTON Staff Writer parking lot three weeks ago pleaded guilty to attempted murder in Second District Court Wednesday. Stephen J. Kalisz, 36, of Detroit, Mich., waived the presentencing investigation and was immediately sentenced to one to 15 years in the Utah State Prison. In exchange for Kalisz's plea, prosecutors agreed not to try him as a habitual criminal, which carries a stiffer penalty of five years to life imprisonment. Kalisz has been convicted of attempted murder twice before, serving time in state prisons in Illinois and Ohio, according to Bountiful Det. Lloyd Kilpack. Kalisz was arrested July 14 after stabbing Salt Lake resident Ronald McFadden, 42, in the throat at the Big Sky Carnival at 5 Points. McFadden suffered a seven inch knife wound to his throat and was hospitalized at Lakeview Hospital. The incident occurred when Kalisz intervened in a heated argument between McFadden and a female carnival worker. The knifing, combined with an earlier shooting between Big Sky workers at the Sevier County Fairgrounds, prompted city officials to threaten to revoke the carnival's license operating unless management cleaned up its act and This guy is straight from Silence Of the Lambs , in my opinion. Det. Lloyd Kilpack After his arrest, Kalisz provided Bountiful investigators with several fake aliases, birlhdates and home towns. None of them checked out, Kilpack said.

The tests were actually started in December of 1992 and then again in June of 1993. The story said the testing was done in December of 1993, which hasnt occurred. The Water Department also claims that although Environmental crime is much higher in some locations than others. Many other criminals and juvenile justice issues, such as drug abuse and child sexual abuse, are addressed in the "Report to Utah on Kansas. Investigators couldn't believe that a man with Kalisz's background was not only out walking the streets, but not even on probation. This guy is straight from Silence Of The Lambs, in my opinion, Kilpack said.
