No. Kent Freeman, Secretary of the Town Council, says that EPA has cracked down so hard on the selling of explosives that the town w asn't able to purchase any of the dynamite caps needed for the old cannon. Freeman says that the town may have to revert to the hand-hel-d rifle salute to welcome in the nation's Independence Day from now on. Satina Sun Autos disappearing in Tooele TOOELE - Auto thieves and .tire slashers have run roughshod through Tooele City during the past two weeks. Tooele City police confirm that ten vehicles have been stolen, several vehicles burglarized and tires slashed. Stolen items from vehicle include check books, compact discs and cassette tapes. Tooele resident Fred Cheshire parked his 1992 34 ton Dodge diesel truck in front of his home on Saturday night. When he got up Sunday morning it was gone. Cheshire's vehicle was discovered Sunday by hikers near Butterfield Pass in Middle Canyon. Sutherland said the vehicle was still idling when found and it appeared to have been pushed from the road. Sunderland said the vehicle was about a mile from the road when it came to a stop. Police estimate damages at $25,000. "The suspects have cashed checks worth $320 at Smith's, Cash Saver, Texaco and Hometown Bakery," said Albertsons, Sunderland. "They will keep doing it until they get caught or until people learn to take out their keys." Tooele Transcript Bulletin 1, Small pink girl's bike missing seen my wife lately? RICHFIELD - "IF those two boys hadn't come along when they did. he'd probably be dead." That was the statement of Sevier County Deputy Sheriff Jack Peterson, referring to an accident in Richfield in which a pickup truck driven by Reed Kesler, 64, missed a bridge and dropped into the Richfield Canal. Peterson said Kesler managed to open the door of the vehicle but was swept dow nstream to the north, grabbing at the bank of the canal as he went. Ryan Tobler, 21, and Corey Swensen, 18, both Annabela, were driving north on a county road which parallels the canal, and when they approached the bridge, noted debris on the bridge, caused from the truck ripping out a wood guardrail on the west. They stopped their vehicle to remove some boards, when they noticed the truck in the water and heard Kesler's cries for help. The pair raced along side the canal and located Kesler, who was then some 60 feet from the scene of the accident. Tobler and Sorensen pulled Kesler from the water. Kesler was charged with driving under the influence and was transported the following day to Veterans Hospital in Salt Lake City. As Kesler was being pulled from the water he indicated to Tobler and Sorensen he didnt know the whereabouts of his wife, Jean. Assuming she might have been in the truck with him, an immediate search of the area began. However, Mrs. Kesler was located in a Richfield business shortly after the accident. Richfield Reaper -- Zillions of Mormon Crickets TRF.MONTON - The "Mormon Crickets" have returned and they are up to their old tricks. "They are big ugly things, two or three inches -- long, black, and with a long tail," described Linda and Richard Hupp. "Yes they are ugly things. Creepy, Creepy crawlers!" exclaimed Dennis Fuhriman. An army of crickets marched down from property controlled by the Bureau of Land Management to Pocatello Valley, a dish-lik- e valley located west and north of Tremonton, in a strip one-ha- lf to one mile wide, eating as they want. "I've seen small flocks of sea gulls fly into the valley and eat the crickets. They ate some, but there were just too many for them to really make much difference," said Fuhriman. "We've finally gotten them under control for right now," said Fuhriman. "We have baited over 500 acres and in places the ground is black with dead crickets. We must have killed, well, ah, I think about a zillion of them," said Fuhriman. "I'm not sure how many a zillion is, but I think there must be that many!"

An intersection in Farmington earns its stripes from council By MARK EDDINGTON Staff Writer FARMINGTON City officials are set to put the brakes on a steep road that some residents have facetiously proposed become the state's first luge run if Salt Lake City and surrounding areas are to chosen PARK CITY The "Tell Someone It's Summer" award this week goes to the individual who was cited by police July 19 for speeding on Monitor Drive with studded snow tires on his or her vehicle, although seasonal confusion is understandable after this July's weather. Concerned citizens reported a bike accident at midnight on Main Street. The male who crashed was cited by pplice for intoxication and turned over to Dad. ; An observant, concerned citizen reported that a small pink girl's bike had been abandoned near the Historic Pacific Rail Trail. The officer on the scene took the bike back to the Marsac building until the same pink girl w ho owns it can be found. Two individuals descended on the Marsac building to report that each had been assaulted by the other. An officer on the scene calmed the individuals in question. The dispute was reportedly over gestures thrown out the window while driving.

Council members want to turn the dangerous 'S curve into a zone, but will The City Council voted to follow the Wednesday recommendations of a consulting traffic engineer and proceed with Center lane and edge striping on the 1100 North and South Compton Road intersection. Similar striping west of on Shepard Lane has been successful in reducing vehicle speeds. But council members decided against the installation of stop signs, and will consult area residents before making additional changes. Concern over the hazards of 1100 North and adjoining streets has been widespread, particularly since the city approved the Pointe of View controversial 68-lsubdivision, which will be located north cf 1 100 N. and east of North Compton Road.

Amy Sorensen, a parent and classroom volunteer, representing Hill Field Elementary, told the board parents and teachers at the school are also concerned about the number of days youngsters attend, She said their surveys show there would be less absences under the pilot program. In addition, with 15 minutes extra each day, teachers would be better able to use the facilities such as the gym and computers at the school. Students take turns using them. More time each day will mean students will get to use them more frequently, she said. i 't " j j tt Dr. Randall T.

But several council members voiced concern that residents traveling downhill, west on 1 100 N., would have trouble stopping at the intersection in the winter. In addition, council members felt that the placement of only one stop sign for eastbound traffic at the intersection would probably just confuse motorists. Councilman Greg Bell noted that the 'S' curve was the chief hazard in the area. A stop sign won't help that, he said. Besides striping, Member Dixie suggested the school consider Five Points Family Chiropractic before for Board the school's administration said often students must choose between seeing their families or going to school. "We have targeted these breaks as a serious concern as shown by our absences." Absences during the week before and after those breaks totaled 850. Board Member Robert Thurgood said he didn't believe cutting days from the school was in line with district goals. He said he's not sure such a plan allows time to deal adequately with the curriculum. He also fears other schools will want to experiment with the number of days children attend school. Superintendent Richard Kendell called this a unique situation which likely won't be repeated by other schools. He said it's good to try pilot programs, adding that while proceeding.

Following the public hearing on July 28, the council voted 1 with two council members absent. The new zoning ordinance didn't replace the old one, as mandated by law three votes are needed for passage. But at the Aug. 4 meeting the necessary three votes were obtained and the new zoning rules became an ordinance. 2-- Councilwoman Renee Coon who had voted against it at the July 28 meeting because of a couple of concerns of side yard lengths and Fire protection fears was a no show at the Aug. 4 meeting. Coon had made it clear at the July 28 meeting that she only a few problems with a couple of small points and liked the new zoning ordinance overall. During the public hearing (on July 28) 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 f V higher Original Art in the store during 23 North Main Street Bountiful quality Watches Gifts For All Occasions Jewelry Repairs Watch Repairs 1 70 South Main, Bountiful 295-202- 1 Q 0,f SUMMERFEST. 298-122- 7 R3yGUlii)j 65 ADuGffliliaUlffl TOP PQOCES PAD ED NO GLASS OR PLASTIC, PLEASE!
