Shurtleff accepts help in gay marriage challenges SALT LAKE CITY— Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff has changed his mind, and will let an outside lawyer help defend the state in any lawsuit challenging the constitutional ban on gay marriage. And the sudden shift of the attorney general, who is lobbying for a hefty pay raise for the 200-plus attorneys on his staff, might pay political dividends. Shurtleff still intends to lead any legal battle but has agreed to accept the help of outside legal counsel. So far, though, Shurtleff said there appears to be no immediate threat of legal action against the amendment.

"While in the past their owners have been racking up miles on free trips, all the pets have been getting is a pat on the head," Midwest CEO Tim Hoeksema said Monday.

GEORGE—When Lois Worlton looks through the window into her kitchen, she begins to cry. Her white ruffled curtains with the green stitching are still hanging, but the white tile floor is cracked through and covered with scraps of insulation left behind when the roof ripped away. The kitchen, part of one bedroom and a portion of the garage are all that's left of the Worltons' home. The rest washed away in the floods that ravaged this southern Utah community a week ago. Still, Worlton and her husband believe they're among the lucky ones. They have money in the bank and a house in Salt Lake City to move to. "We have options and many people don't," she said, wiping away a tear. PARK CITY, Utah—Authorities ended a large-scale search for victims of last week's massive avalanche Monday and said there is a good chance a body found over the weekend was the lone victim. "Right now, we believe that we have taken the one sole victim out of there," Summit County Sheriff Dave Edmunds said at a news conference. In northern Idaho, meanwhile, two snowboarders from Gonzaga University in Spokane, Wash., were killed in an avalanche while snowboarding south of Mullan, according to the Shoshone County sheriff's office. A third snowboarder, 22-year-old Sean Forbes, survived and walked to a nearby house to call for help, deputies said. The dead from Sunday's accident were identified as Brian Brett, 24, of Bellingham, Wash., and Pete TVipp, 23, of Bend, Ore. Polls indicate Utah residents don't want a smoking ban King's hometown celebrates slain leader; son cites legacy of peace SALT LAKE CITY—A majority of Utah residents do not favor a smoking ban for private clubs, two new copyrighted polls show. A Salt Lake TVibune poll shows 54 percent believe smoking should be allowed in the clubs. A Deseret Morning News/KSL-TV poll has 57 percent support for letting club management whether smoking should be banned in their clubs. "I think the majority of Utah just told us that individual choices and freedoms are most important. If people don't want to deal with smoking, they have the choice to just not go in there. They are tired of Big Brother government telling them what to do," said Bob Brown, vice president of the Utah Hospitality Association. ATLANTA—Americans inspired by Martin Luther King Jr. took part in marches and rallies around the country Monday, drawing from the late civil rights leader's message to call for an end to the Iraq war, advocate affirmative action and speak out for gay rights. In King's hometown, parade spectators lined the streets dancing to Stevie Wonder's "Happy Birthday" and listening to King's speeches blaring over the loudspeakers. Despite Monday's chilly temperatures, thousands of marchers then walked through the Atlanta district where King grew up and preached. Joining high school marching bands, union workers and civil rights activists, a group of several hundred people came in support of gay rights, saying King's message was one of inclusion.
