Council mets Utah Governor bv Senator Bes erlv Ann Evans It's hard to believe that the fourth week of the 1999 legislative session is coming to an end. The times goes fast as we continue to work hard to seek the best interest of the people of the state of Utah. One of the more emotional bills presented this week was that ofthe seat belt law amendments. Senate Bill 6, sponsored by Senator Robert Montgomery, passed through the Senate and on to the House by a 25-- 4 vote. Although, this was not accomplished without some changes being made first Originally, the enforcement provisions applied to all motorists. Now its major provisions only applies to people under the age of 21. Currently, violation of the buck-le-u- p law leads only to a secondary offense. The new proposed law would make violation of the la w a primary offense, meaning officers can pull motorist over and cite them for not having a seat belt on. Again, primary offense would only apply to those under 21. It will still be a secondary offense to those over 21. The bill also increases thi maximum fine per violation from $10 - $45. Utah ranchers are on Capitol Hill looking to allow hunting of Members of the Roosevelt Youth City Council met Governor Mike Leavitt last week and then listened to him speak to elected officials from all over the state at the State Capitol Building. Earlier in the day the group sat in on a Utah Legislative session to get a firsthand look at how the Utah State Government works. They also spent' time with Representative Gordon Snow and Senator Beverly Evans. Advisors for the Roosevelt Youth City Council are Steve Yack, a Roosevelt City Councilman, Barcy Huber, and Pam Bents. elk. Some Senators d agree the plan is misguided. This type ofhunting is repugnant to me, said Sen. Robert Montgomery. I urge you to oppose this on aesthetics alone. But sponsoring Senator Leonard Blackham said ranchers need the flexibility to accommodate trophy hunters willing to pay generous fees for the pleasure oTharvesting domesticated elk. Those in favor of the bill say that government has no place telling private property owners what they can do with their land and livestock. The Senate voted in favor of the bill with a 16-- 9 vote.

The Perank-Hage- n launched years of litigation to define the boundaries iff the original Uintah Valley Reservation. The Hagen ease eventually reached the U.S. Supreme Court. It was settled by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals May 1997. It removed homestead land from within the reservation, but confirmed that the original or exterior boundaries of the reservation still existed. The two were arrested in Myton, but they appealed on the grounds that they felt the Duchesne County Sheriff Department didn't havejurisdiction on reservation land.

National child passenger safety week Feb. 14- - 20 The week is to emphasize correct use of child safety seats, booster seats, seat belts and bicycle helmets. February 14 - 20, is National Child Passenger Safety Week, a time for celebrating, challenging and learning. We at the Utah Highway Patrol would like to emphasize that parents, caregivers and other adults must be responsible for the safe transportation of children. UHP would like to invite the community to kick off the week and "Buckle Up Your Valentine. One of the most frustrating facts in child passenger safety today is nearly all parents know that children are safer in the back seat, but many still drive with children in the front. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the private sector recently conducted a survey to gauge awareness of the risk passenger air bag pose to children. The survey found that 99 percent of parents with children under age one say they have heard about the risks air bags pose to chPdren. Yet 11 percent of those parents who regularly transport an infant in a vehicle equipped with a passenger air bag continue to place babies in the front seat. That means as many as 175,000 babies are at serious risk. Older children, too, are still allowed to ride in front. Air bags save lives and are an important safety feature for adults. However, air bags are not designed to protect small children in or out of child safety seats. A number of children have died tragically in crashes that otherwise might not have been fatal because they were seated in front of a passenger air bag. Almost all of the children who died were either unbuckled, were in g infant seats or improperly restrained. Air bags work best when everyone is buckled and child are properly restrained in the back seat. An air bag is not a soft, billowy pillow. To do its job, an air bag bursts out of the dashboard at up to 200 mph-fastthan the blink ofan eye. The force of an air bag can hurt those who are too close to it, especially children. Children 12 and under should ride buckled up in the rear seat Infants in rear facing child safety seat should never ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a pass air bag. Small children should ride in a rear seat in a child safety seat approved for the weight and height T debt (ev- (home); Ferrin, Utah.

Lloyd Remund eqjoyed a visit from his daughter Sondra and her husband Fred Kamniski who live in Parents and caregivers should check their owner's manual and instructions provided with their child safety seat for correct use information. Every one should buckle up with both lap and shoulder belts on every trip. Driver and front passenger seats should be moved as far back as practical, particularly for short people. Drivers need ten inches between themselves and their steering wheel air bag. Protect your children; make buckling up a priority.
