According to City Manager Tom Hardy, the new console will replace i used twice since floods in 1983. The equipment is needed in case of a large scale emergency and could be used if the 91 equipment at the police complex went down, Hardy said.

Bountiful's similar disaster. RESCUED Angels rescue cousins from icy grave with blood from breaking through the sharp ice. Ironically, he saw the duck he and his cousin had been trying to free sitting on top of the ice. He remembers thinking it was somehow funny that the duck was now-freand watching him struggle in the water. I thought it was the end. The boat had to break through about 30 yards of ice and I saw it stuck in the middle and it kept stalling and I couldn't even see the shore, Allen recalled. I was sitting there thinking they're not going to make it to us were not going to make it. I was thinking about my family and how they were going to tell them I died. My mom is always afraid that Im going to die fishing. In the meantime, Abbott's legs had become tangled in his fishing line when he fell overboard and a hook had gotten caught in his leg making it difficult to swim. He was also starting to feel the effects of hypothermia making him feel delirious. At first I thought we would be okay and I was just wor- ried about the gear. After a few forgot about the gear and started wondering how we were I going to get out of this, Abbott said. reached the place where the canoe had capsized, a delirious Allen was pulling himself onto the shore. Flandro and Campbell reached Abbott just as he appeared to be slipping under the water and holding onto his coat they towed him to the shore. The boys had been in the water for 35 minutes. Johnson and Gregory gathered firewood while Campbell and Flandro built a fire and helped the boys out of their wet clothes. Johnson dressed Abbott in his pants and stocking cap and boots. Gregory dressed Abbott in his own coveralls, coat and gloves. After about 20 minutes a U.S. Forest Service boat came and drove the boys to the North shore where a waiting ambulance rushed them to Wasatch County Hospital in Heber City. In the ambulance paramedics recorded Allens body temperature at 90 degrees, Abbotts was 86 degrees.

The Utah Population Estimates Committee is a statutory committee charged with providing annual estimates of the population by county.

Flandro agrees with the groups consensus that the young men managed to survive for a reason.
