When officers arrived, Ainge and Shupe were in their separate homes and no one was injured. Ainge admitted that he had had 10-12 beers and the sheriff’s report said that Shupe had also been drinking. Ainge was arrested for carrying a dangerous weapon while intoxicated, disorderly conduct and public intoxication. Ainge said that he had been having problems for several years with the joint ownership of the property with Shupe and their relationship had escalated into violence.
Final decision nears on power plant
Published on April 21, 2009 at 07:32AM
(RICHFIELD) – Sevier County Commissioners may decide by May 4 to either approve or deny an application submitted by Sevier Power Company to build a coal-fired power plant near Sigurd. Commissioners had been waiting for a non-binding opinion from the state Property Rights Ombudsman’s Office, who recently determined that SPC has vested rights to build the plant. The Ombudsman said that SPC was vested as of December 2007 and Proposition One, an initiative that won overwhelmingly approval in a public vote, would not apply because it was initiated after SPC’s vestment. Elaine Bonavita, Right-To-Vote Chairperson, approached the Commissioners in Monday’s meeting, with the request that Commissioners reject the Ombudsman opinion. RTV was successful in the battle to put Prop One on the ballot in November’s election. Commissioners said they’re still waiting a pending state decision on May 1 about diverting 211 acre feet of irrigation water, that may take water away from farmers and ranchers. They also noted that pending litigation will also weigh in on the final decision.
